FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.
Prospects were never better than at present for a successful year at the University. From all sections of the state the students are flocking in. The institution is in better shape than ever before to receive them. New departments have been added, offering instruction hitherto not given, enabling the school to touch the life of the state at more points than formerly. Many of the old departments have been strengthened by additions to the teaching force and the offering of new courses. Next Monday the vast educational machine will be in motion, and the output of the year's work which begins then should be better in quantity and quality than ever before.
A change in the name of The Kansan by the addition of the word "University" to the title has been made at the beginning of this year. The new name more closely identifies the paper with the institution which it represents. While "The University Kansan" is rather too large a mouthful to come into common use among the students of the University, the added word in the title is needed to distinguish the University paper abroad from at least two others in the state which bear the name "Kansan."
In Missouri, the platforms of both the large political parties contain planks which demand an improved method of providing for the suport of the state university. The same problem is an issue in Kansas, but one to which the politicians have not given much attention as yet.
Hundreds of new students are taking their first look at the University of Kansas this week, and getting their first contact with the University life in which they all have to find their places. For the new student, much depends upon getting the right start. The first month in school has possibilities above all other months in making or marring a university career. The attitude which the freshman takes during the first
few weeks toward the University and University affairs is likely to be the one he will keep throughout his course. The new student should take pains "to get in right," in order that the profit which he derives from his college years may be as great as possible, and that he may be spared the melancholy experience of "getting in bad" later on.
WHERE STUDENTS GO
Every student should become a member of the Hospital Association and of the Associated Student Enterprises. Membership in the Hospital Association insures proper care in case of illness at a cost that is much less than the value of the service. The purchase of a Student Enterpprise ticket will enable the buyer to attend athletic, musical and debating events that would cost more than five times the price of the ticket if paid for singly.

SEEK NEW MANAGER.
Faculty, Students and Alumni Will Run Athletics at M. U.
Columbia, Mo., Sept. 15.—Dr. A. Ross Hill, president of the University of Missouri, refused either to affirm or deny the report that he twice has offered the position of general head of the athletic department to Chester L. Brewer, coach of the football team at Michigan Agricultural college of East Lausung, Mich.
It is asserted that the management of the athletic teams of the University will be undertaken this year by the athletic board, composed of faculty and student and alumni representatives, and that the position of head of the athletic department to succeed Dr. Clark Wilson Hetherington, who resigned last spring, will not be filled until Dr. Hill has found the man he wants. The board of curators will, it is said, leave the selection of the athletic head entirely to President Hill.
Modern Norwegian.
An opportunity is offered in this course to read the great Norwegian writers in the original. Especial attention will be given to the works and literary importance of Henrik Ibsen and Bjornsterne Bjornson. The course is two hours a week for the first term and three hours for the second. These hours are arranged as far as possible for the convenience of the student.
