With the next issue of the Kansan the newly elected officials will take complete charge of the paper. The retiring management has no apologies to make for the mistakes of the past year and no excuses to offer for the stale jokes foisted on the helpless readers when the printer was crying for copy and the copy hook was empty. The editor and the business manager have been sincere in their efforts to issue a paper that would not discredit the institution it represents and are willing to abide by the success or failure of their work. The year past has shown an increased support for the Kansan in the University, and a gradual growth of respect for the work it is trying to do. That in itself is all the retiring management could expect or ask by way of recognition.
With the election of the new officers the work-up system, as adopted by the subscribers of the Kansan two years ago, goes completely into effect. The men are all juniors in the University and have won their places solely on merit and hard work. Both Carl Young, the new editor, and Roy Roberts, the managing editor, are well known in the University and have been actively interested in newspaper work for some time. Mr. Young has had charge of athletic news during the present year, and has been managing editor since the resignation of Roy Moore in November. Mr. Roberts has been on the board for two years, and has been the University correspondent for the Kansas City Star and Times for two years.
--able. If the custom is carried on and developed as it was first inaugurated, and the party is made strictly formal, it will inevitably detract from the Junior Prom. as the big event of the year. The same guests are included in both, and if the same pretentions as to formality and general "swellness" are carried out, the Prom. is bound to suffer.
Before the Sophomore class decides definitely the nature of the Sophomore Prom. it would not be out of place to consider carefully the advisability of extending it in pretensiousness. There has been a feeling that the event would be more appropriate as a strictly informal affair, and for some reasons, the informality is very desirable. If the custom is carried on and developed as it was first inaugurated, and the party is made strictly formal, it will inevitably detract from the Junior Prom. as the big event of the year. The same guests are included in both, and if the same pretentions as to formality and general "swellness" are carried out, the Prom. is bound to suffer.
The first of the inter-collegiate debates will be the Kansas-Oklahoma contest on the question of Chinese exclusion. The debate will be held in the University chapel March 15. The Kansas men are working hard on the question and are going to give the Sooners a run for their money. Keep March 15 open and make the contest worth while. The season tickets are good for admission.

Professor Boodin Spoke at Vesper.
In spite of favorable weather and the fact that an excellent program was offered, the attendance at the Vesper Service last Sunday afternoon was unusually small. But those who stayed away missed hearing a very thoughtful and able address by Professor Boodin. His subject was "The Divinity of Christ." He discussed some of the views which have been taken in regard to the Saviour, even by his earliest biblical biographers, but in conclusion said that whatever theories may be, Christ is a practical factor in life and only those who follow His words really believe in His divinity.
