BY AMRUATA BHADKAMKAR The University Daily Kansan was not always where University of Kansas students received their daily news from. The first issue of The Kansan didn't appear until January 16, 1912, almost 46 years after the University first opened. So where did KU students go for news before The Kansan made its debut? way to the study of natural sciences. Student editors stopped publishing the Observer in 1876, and the next student-run newspaper, The Kansas University Weekly, didn't come out until 1895. According to kuhistory.com, the first student-run publication at The Kansas University Weekly focused mainly on University and community news, short stories and essays and detailed coverage of sporting events, along with a collection of light gossip and general happenings at the University. This journal received support from Snow and from the University Council, but the publication was short lived because of petty rivalries and fighting among staff members. The last issue of The Kansas University Weekly was printed on May 28, 1904. But this did not deter KU students, and the newspapers kept coming. The first Kansan version, Semi- Weekly Kansan, first appeared on campus on September 17, 1904. This was the newspaper that eventually evolved into the newspaper that is on campus today. The Semi-Weekly Kansan's first issue contained interfraternity debates, news about the upcoming football season and some local news. The Kansan's first version had gotten rid of the literature section that had been a fixture in the earlier newspapers, and it started using beat reporters. In 1912, The Semi-Weekly Kansan became The University Daily Kansan, the first college daily newspaper in Kansas, and the rest is history. the University was the Observer of Nature. This newspaper made its debut in 1874, not quite eight years after the University's formal opening in September 1866. Francis Huntington Snow, one of KU's three original faculty members and the sponsor of the University's Natural History Society, was the Observer's first advisor. Snow's guidance helped publish the newspaper's first issue on April 1. The Observer primarily featured short, scholarly essays from students and professors, and all of the articles related in some —Edited by Chris Beattie A 21-year-old KU student reported theft of an iPhone, valued at $500, near the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street. on the record The manager of Mrs. E's reported the theft of a projector from the Mrs. E's banquet room.
