II this change is enacted it will mean
that the present Kansas board will not
have power to name its editor. The
move was made by the council for the
purpose of making the Kansan a paper
which will be in accord with popular
student opinions. 1t was charged that
the Kansan was not run in the best in
terest Of the students.
The direct cause for the action
against the Kansan grew out of the
arrest of the student council members
a few days ago. The arrests. it is
charged, were trumped up by the edi-
tors OF the Daily Kansan who, it is
charged. gave the city officials infor-
nation against the council.
