KANSAN IS NOW IN NEW
HANDS.
This is the initial number of the Kansan under the newly elected management. The new editors of the paper have no rosy promises to make, nor do they ever intend to have any apologies to offer. Under the last two managements the Kansan has made wonderful strides towards the goal of perfection as a university newspaper. If the new management can maintain the present standard of the paper it will consider it has done its duty, but any opportunity for further improvement will not be neglected. The Kansan should grow with the University and if it is found feasible to increase the size of the paper or the frequency of issue it will be done.
With a full share of confidence, but somewhat handicapped, the new management takes from now on the responsibility of giving to subscribers a live paper—handicapped because all the old men of the Kansan staff are gone. There are Roberts, Young, Hovey, Dodge, all seniors, who have been identified with the paper since its birth who are now off the board. The present staff is mostly made up of underclassmen.
The Kansan asks only one thing and that is that it be judged by newspaper standards. It is such a common thing to judge university publications by some academic standard. All the Kansan wishes to do is publish the news, all the news and in such a form as the ordinary reader wishes. Scientific treatises or literary essays have no place in its columns. It should endeavor also to give a true expression of student opinions in its editorials. Confident of the continued good will of the faculty and students of the University during the coming year the Kansan expects to grow and prosper.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Some of the most pleasing social functions of the year have been given by the University Y. M. C. A. The banquets for football and basket ball men, and the numerous other entertainments given each season have shown that organization to be thoroughly wide awake.
The Kansan has several times mentioned the fact that the student body would like to have a students' day in chapel when two or three students elected by all the students could make speeches. The plan was tried two years ago with great success. Why not make it an annual affair? It is in the hands of the chapel committee to make the first move. Gentlemen of the committee, it is time to speak.
Considering what a tame affair the last athletic election was it is only just and fair that the athletic association should hold another election this year.
Friday morning in chapel the students will be asked either to approve or disapprove of the plan for a University hospital. The Kansan believes the hospital association should be given hearty support in its efforts to provide adequate hospital facilities. The scheme stands approved by the Chancellor and

Where did you get that Hat?
Brown:
At Ober's, of course. I always get my hats there.
Best style—best assortment — best Hats, and no fancy prices.
The Spring styles are all in, and they're handsome. I just came from there.
If you want a good Hat, go to Ober's for yours.
Go at once and you can get anything you want in the Hat line.
That's the way they talk it on thestreets.

The Kansas farmer made little complaint when the green bug deprived him of most of his wheat crop, but now, that it is indirectly interfering with the trip of the Mandolin Club he is sure to complain.

Another invasion into the rightful occupations of man happened this term when twenty-three girls enrolled in the wood work department. If this onward march of femininity keeps up fifty years longer, mere man will have nothing to do but smoke cigarettes, pitch pennies at a crack, and dream of glories that are gone.
At Cincinnati University.
Only one dance a year is permitted at the University of Cincinnati to each of the four college classes, and the other students organizations there usually hold their parties in the college holidays. Ali such affairs have to receive the sanction of the chairman of the Committee on Social Functions to whom request must be made in writing. Chaperons as a rule are chosen from among the wives of members of the Faculty or are mothers of the students. The hours for the parties are from eight-thirty to eleven-thirty.

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.
