With this issue of the University Kansan, the new editorial board makes its bow to the public. The Kansan is essentially a student production and as such should represent and reflect student sentiment. We believe that in the eight years of its existence it has proven to be an unprejudiced chronicler of University activities and it is the desire and the ambition of the present staff to maintain this same standard during its tenure of office.
We realize that a student publication is open to criticism peculiar to itself and that the attitude of The Kansan toward certain delicate situations that may arise, may lose the good will of certain members of the student body. It is the intention of the new board to continue a policy of fairness to all and an endeavor will be made to give proper publicity to anything that is germane to University life.
In beginning our work we can only ask for the co-operation of our readers and we hope that sufficient interest will be manifested by the student body to justify a healthy column of "kicks' and suggestions relative to University affairs.
With a detailed report of the carrying on of poker games at this University being printed broadcast over the state, and a late rumor that certain members of the engineering school are to go the Marathon route in a beer-drinking contest, there is no wonder that various people who are not cognizant of the real state of affairs imagine that University life is one continuous round of

debaucheries and orgies.
But when we are informed that in certain instances where a quiet little game of "penny ante" may have been played, the entire amount won for the evening would not be enough to purchase a coco-cola apiece for the contestants, and that the challengers in the beer-drinking contest would probably drop in a faint if the amber beverage were produced and the contest started, we can see no great cause for alarm as to the morals of University students.
But the fact still remains that that all people are not "next" and that these little cases of "just for fun" are apt to prove stumbling blocks at some future date.
An Era of Retrenchment.
Poker disclosures in Lawrence indicate that some of the students have had to sell their French touring cars and discharge their valets.—Kansas City Star.

A Hat Show worth seeing
why you shouldn't be just as thoroughly familiar with the new Stetson and Imperial hat styles as the folks in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. We've done our part by bringing to Lawrence the entire collection of Spring Styles in each make, not omitting a single one of the new models or colors, either in soft or stiff Hats. Ready now.
