OUR LAST SHOT.
With this issue, the Kansan is turned over to the new editorial staff elected last Monday. Beginning with next Wednesday they will have full charge and responsibility for the policies of the paper. We have no apologies for the manner the Kansan was run during the time it was entrusted to our tender merciies. We have done our best under the circumstances to get out a paper giving all the news all the time and to be fair to everyone. We have not introduced any startling innovations or have we added any new features that will entitle us to a seat in the Hall of Fame, but we have tried to make the Kansan stand for something in the life of the university. We have tried to make it representative of every phase of the activities of the school and to have it represent fairly the sentiment of the students upon University questions. If we have only succeeded in doing this, we have accomplished all a college paper can be expected to accomplish.
It is to be hoped that when the student vote is taken on the hospital plan in chapel next Friday morning, the result will show enthusiastic endorsement of the best scheme that has yet been devised to insure the student against the exigencies of sickness. As measured against the advantages conferred, the cost to the individual member is so small that it ought not to deter anyone from supporting the plan.
Twenty men tried out this afternoon for the University track team which is to meet
Missouri in Convention Hall. Only twenty men out of an enrollment of more than 2,000! At Missouri two hundred men are reported working daily for the various events in hopes of making the team. Why is there such a striking difference in the number as this? Why do the Tigers show ten times as much interest in track and field athletics as Kansas? We have never beaten Missouri in a track meet and never can until the students support and encourage the team more than they do at present.

Y. W. C. A. BANQUET FRIDAY.
Association Girls Plan Great Banquet in Gym.
Smokers, banquets and even lectures for men only have been common for years in the University of Kansas, but now the Y.W.C.A.girls come out with the announcement that a banquet-not a smoker-for Y. W. C.A.girls only,with 150 covers laid will be held in Robinson Gymnasium next Friday.
Miss Teressa Wilber, the national secretary will be the guest of honor.
A toastmaster will be chosen and toasts on University life will be responded to by representative co-eds. The large membership of the Association makes it possible to hold a banquet limited to members only.

Selling Aluminum Cooking Utensils is both practical and profitable. Practical because cooking utensils are always in demand and especially if made of Aluminum. Profitable because of the demonstration and the card system used which makes canvassing pleasant work as well as remunerative.
