The University Daily Kansan had several forerunners before becoming the first daily college newspaper in Kansas in 1912. These included such titles as the Kansas University Weekly and the Semi-Weekly Kansan. The first KU student newspaper, the Observer of Nature, was established in 1874.

Spotlight on Organizations
The inconvenient truths of our nation's energy crisis are not insurmountable to members of 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge, two nationally-based organizations with chapters at the University of Kansas.
BY MEGAN HIRT
"Campuses are the most successful in implementing change," Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior and Midwest Regional Director for 2020 Vision, said. "It takes action on the local and individual levels to make a large difference."
For both 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge, that difference is the reduction of energy use and the implementation of clean and responsible energy solutions.
2020 Vision & Campus Climate Challenge
2020 Vision, in its second year at KU, began in the 1980s to promote increased citizen involvement in environmental public policy decisions. Individual college chapters
are present on only 13 other campuses.
Campus Climate Challenge, making its debut at KU this semester, took shape in the 1990s as college students began pressing for more environmentally responsible practices at their schools. Dan Swick, Huntley, III., senior and founder of Campus Climate Challenge at the University, said that there are now extensions of the organization on more than 50 campuses.
As national entities, both groups are dynamically involved in the pursuit of alternative energy solutions. Campus Climate Challenge recently joined forces with MTV for the "Break the Addiction" campaign, which encouraged college students to push for clean energy at their schools. During the summer, 2020 Vision hosted the National Summit on Energy Security in Washington, D.C., at which prominent scientists and influential politicians discussed solving the national security threat that has arisen from the United States' dependence on foreign energy resources.
However, Red Corn and Swick have their sights set specifically on bringing changes to the University.
Local initiatives for this year include establishing concrete, measurable goals within the University Environmental Policy, making ethanol fuel available at the city level and campaigning for a small increase in student fees that will go toward renewable energy investments at the University. In the long run, Red Corn would like to see physical improvements to the campus that advance wind, solar, geothermal and other energy alternatives, "making our university a landmark for clean energy."
Another goal is the establishment of a Proxy Voting Advisory
Board with KU Endowment, which will counsel the foundation regarding decisions on corporate resolutions, ensuring that the University practices environmentally responsible share holding.
Ultimately, Red Corn said both 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge are working to initiate an overall shift of mindset among KU students and faculty. "I want to see taking the bus or riding your bike be recognized as the most patriotic thing someone can do," he said.
Students interested in joining forces with 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge should email Red Corn at studio1@ku.edu, or Swick at danswick@ku.edu. "There is plenty of research, outreach, and action to be taken," Red Corn said. "Contact us and we will get you involved."

odd news
Man arrested with stolen
marijuana from business CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A man who police said was caught with two pounds of marijuana allegedly told officers the drug wasn't his because he stole it.
Bradley Robison, 18, of Cedar Rapids, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug
tax stamp. When police found him with the marijuana, he said he had stolen it from a nearby business that he had just broken into, court records show.
Linn County Attorney Harold Denton said it didn't matter how Robison got the marijuana — only that he had it.
"If you steal it, you steal it and you possess it," Denton said. "It's a double whammy."
