UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WHEN KANSAN STARTED
Daily Was First Issued Four Years Ago With Louis LaCoss as Editor
HAD VIGOROUS POLICIES
First Issues Took up Cudgel for Betterment of University
When the University Daily Kansan first made its appearance on the campus in 1912 as a daily newspaper, it was well known that it which gave active news and editorial support. Some of these ideas have long since become accomplished facts; others the Kansan is still nursing students; they will doubtless be realized in time.
With the first issue the newspaper began the agitation for a dormitory for women, urging and giving publicity to all projects proposed for the increasing of the funds for such a dormitory, with parts of the alumni the fund had been raised to $5,000, and during the remainder of the spring months were given a circus, a vaudeville, and down-town jitney shows. In addition the Daily Kansas printed many news stories about serial comments bearing on the matter.
With the first issue on January 16 under the editorial of Louis LaCoss and the managing editorship of George Marsh, prizes were offered for the best high school reporting covering the remainder of the school year. The prize was awarded by the judges, of whom Gov. Arthur Capper was one, to John Gleisner of Abilene, now a member of the Daily Kansan staff, and last year editor-in-chief. The second prize of fifteen dollars went to James B. McKay of Olathe, also a member of the Daily Kansan staff. The carrying of high school correspondence was discontinued after the ensuing year.
The University Pastime.
Another hobby, which has always been good material for news stories on dull days—was the plan to have a University cafeteria. The plan was put into operation. The cafeteria was built in an unusual basement but finally ate itself out of its house and home. The students were willing enough to patronize the Hall boarding house; but because of lack of room and possibly through a system of secretive ject failed. Later, an unsuccessful effort was made to revive it.
The Daily Kansan started a movement to secure for the school new and small songs. Prizes were offered but no one appeared to claim the promised money.
Three or four times each week short stories written by college students were printed on the editorial page. The first story that appeared, "The Dub," was written by Sol H. Lewis, who later, for two years, was an administrator in the department, is now editor-owner of the Lyndon (Wash.) Tribune.
When, in 1912, Kansas and Missouri played their first games ever played on McCook Field, the athletic department charged a fee of one dollar would be assessed holders of the enterprise coupons for admission to the game. This brought the cost of discussion within the Kansan state time the policy of the publication way
The fall of 1912 was a time of many class and football smokers, and it was the ushering in of a new political era for K. U. It was during this year that a fight was made against the freshman cap ruler. Athletic en- trenches were built in Missouri war to play Kansas in the game that was to open McCook Field.

The freshman class of 1912, now the grave and reverend senior class, shattered the tradition only once during the fall term. It was not until the following spring that the Daily Kansan was obliged to read for one hour each regard to the freshman cap tradition.

WORK FOR LOVE OF IT
Editors of Kansan Receive no Pay For Their Services
In days past the editors of the Kansan used to work, not alone for the "love of the doing," but for a cash consideration. In fact, even last year he and the news editor were paid for the work they did. "Tis a different tale now."
Fame, and little of that, is the reward of these two offices this year. Men have been found in the department who are willing to devote their time and efforts toward making the paper a success. Men who were working for a salary last year are now working for nothing.
Of course the Kansan is not the only paper which does not pay its staff, but it is one of the few. The Yale News, run on a profit-sharing plan, turns over $4,000 each year to be divided among the editors of the. The editor of the Michigan Daily reads $100 a year (for his services). The Indiana Student pays its editor $100 a term. Jumping to the western coast, the Emerald of the University of Oregon pays its editor $100 a year.
Fifty of the 1438 students of the University of Oklahoma hall from beyond the boundaries of that state are from India, Mexico and Russia.
WOMEN IN JOURNALISM
Make Good at the Work and More Enter the Department Each Year
Only within the last years have the women in the University of Kansas been very active in the department of journalism, and it was but four years later that a student man student to the Kansan Board was thought a revolutionary thing.
Lucy Barger, who was graduated from the University in 1914, was the first woman student to gain a place for herself on the Kansan. Up to now she had been formally conceded to the men, and no woman had had the courage or the desire to try to gain a place. Miss Barger, being elected to the Kansan Board of Directors, while in school she was one of the most active members of the staff, and did some special writing in addition to her school work. After leaving Miss Barger did work for the Balcony Club. She is now on the Balcony Union.
OTHERS FOLLOWED
At the same time that Lucy Barger was paving the way for future classes of women journalists, Helen Rhodia Hoopes was gaining attention to her literary work, both through the columns of the Kansan and in magazines. While Miss Hoopes was never as closely related to the Kansan as Miss Barger was always been associated as one of her authors in journalism at Kansas University. She is now an instructor in the University.
Maurine Fairweather was the second woman to "make" the Kansas Board, and was the society editor. She was followed by Lucile Hildinger, who was elected in 1914, and served for one year. Miss Hildinger graduates this year and expects to go into journalistic work at once.
Helen M. Hayes, who graduated in 1914, was also a shining light among the women journalism students. She was associate editor during her senior year. She is now on the Great Bend Tribute. Miss Hayes was city attorney of the Lawrence Gazette for several years following her graduation, before she went to college.
A K. U. product who is making a mark on the world of newspapers is Hannah Kirkland Mitchell is a graduate of the Pulitzer Prize and Journalism in New York City, but got her interest in newspaper writing here where she took work in the department of journalism. She is now the Tell-Me-A-Story lady of the Sunday Kansas City Star.
POPULARITY GROWS
More women enroll in the journalism classes each year, and where it used to be unusual for one to complete them, students now graduate several each year.
Zetha Hammer, a senior in the department, from Salt Lake, Utah, is now serving as editor of the Kansan. She has also been on the Kansan since it has been in existence at K.U. She was elected to the Kansan board last spring, one of three who were elected at that time. Miss Hammer will work her work after her graduation in June.
Caroline Greer, a graduate of last year, has done much special work and this summer edited the women's page of a paper gotten out by the Swope Settlement in Kansas City. Miss Greer has combined her journalism with sociological work and investigation.
BIG ISSUES FAILED

But the Kansan Accomplished Some of the Little Things It Advocated
The Kansan for the school year 1914-15 was characterized by definite and fundamental policies. Some of the fights started were such that imbalance not possibly be expected, but many of which white things were accomplished.
The mill tax was the big issue of last year. The Kansan did all in its power to arouse the students to action, both by means of individual effort and by work through county clubs. While the measure did not pass the legislature, advertising has made better the chance for its passage next year.
The Kansan conducted two other losing fights for big issues last year; one for the improvement of Lawrence water, used on the Hill, and the other for a permanent student union. While neither of these ideals were attained, agitation was beneficial. The water was provided for spring and the spring. The lesson learned in the death of the student union will help make the next attempt a success.
Long before the coming of John R. Mott and his fellow-workers, the Kansan began its campaign to prepare the way for his work among the students. The campaign was a success and the Dinka-Kansan is proud of its small share.
Mary of the Kansan policies and campaigns resulted more satisfactorily. Among these were the efforts to assist the White Cross and the Red Cross with the result that more than $3,000 was raised at the K. U. Other campaigns which proved successful either last year or this are: the adoption of a point system, obtaining hooks in the Administration Building, a uniform on McCook, a uniform accounting系站, a cutting place, open library stacks at night. Among the things that must not be forgotten is the agitation last year for better understanding of the University Infirmary.
It has always been a Kansan policy to give facts of value on student problems as they are handled here and elsewhere, such as student government. Last year extracts from good books were printed to develop a taste in reading. Effort was made to adapt a better acquaintance, both among students and faculty, between the faculty and students. This was done by featuring smokers, encouraging hikes, and suggesting new forms of "getting together."
SOUGHT FOR MILL TAX
Clearing Potter's Lake for skating and Class memorials were two issues that the Kansan fought out to satisfy factory close. But three other measures failed: the student union and the book-store, and the condition of the Lakesian city water was, as it is now, a problem treated out in the '13 papers.
January and February of this year saw another session of the Kansas legislature that was in favor of appropriating the University to fund thousands less than was needed to run school properly. The Kansan, aided by the Alumni Association and students, staged a fight for more money. The mill tax was a big issue in this session of the legislature, and the Kansan supported it firmly, but tax on non-resident students $175 entrance fee was opposed by the Kansan.
The Jayhawker was a financial failure in 1912 and the following year it seemed that there would be no annual. The Kansan took up the columns and owing to a publicity campaign, the year book is on its feet.
TRIED TO GET DORMITORIES
The records for the second year still find the Kansas waging a strong fight for dormitories for women. By editorsials and news managers to promote activities that helped increase reservoir fund that was started the year before. During the month of February 1913 the front pages of the paper contained maps showing the state service of the city, apartment, both as to locality and information about the state. This work had been taken up by the University but a year or two before and was not very well understood by the students and people of the state. The Kansas used this method in information campaign. The Kansas was able to solve the problems of returning the Kansas-Missouri Thanksgiving day football game to Kansas City. Editorials, news stories and communications, filled the pages of the Kansas and order to get at some minute a straw vote was taken among the students. But it seemed that all the power of the Kansas City Alumni and papers of that section of the country could not move the votes of the two schools and the game is still played on the home fields.
The general extension division of the University of Minnesota is offering a series of business courses by correspondence.

TOOTING OUR OWN HORN
to do
Being an Account of What the Kansan Does and Tries
Run by 200 of the 2500 students who are to shape the journalism of the next generation, the Kansan gives more in the line of news coverage than any person in the country. All reporters are instructed to keep posted on events and subscribers consider the Kansan office a bureau of information. An officer of fifteen questions a day are answered over the Kansan phone.
A column of store news, where students can find the most suitable articles needed, is run frequently and those taking advantage of the tips offered have found that money was saved as a result. Reporters devote ten or fifteen hours a week to reviewing the latest books and the magazine articles, giving to reader an opportunity a chance to go to the library and find such articles and stories in which they are interested without the trouble of going through piles of material holding no attraction.
The lead editorial on the second page every day concerns some problem of vital concern to any university student or faculty member. If that page is read carefully, the reader cannot help but keep up on matters of interest on the Hill that are arousing comment. One of the most valuable departments which is a "sacred cow" in the office is the campus opinion column. Believing University should be democratic in institutions, that the students should have a voice in the conduct of affairs as they do have in any democratic state, the Kansan throws open its columns to its readers that they may give their ideas concerning issues at hand.
By running choice bits of poetry and selected jokes and paragraphs, the paper attempts to give to its readers a portion of the best that is being written in the country in the leading magazines and newspapers. The exchange department keeps on the Hilt on in close touch with other schools and colleges, making it possible for anyone easily interested in any activity to follow that activity over the country at large.
Finally, it is the effort of the news editors and his assistants and the students poking under him to give a complete view of life as it exists on Mount Oread.
