Aszefwtatztw This year has been a record year at Pittsburg State College in many ways. Enrollment was the largest ever and was still increasing, new buildings were being constructed, and students were displaying new enthusiasm in their educa- tional endeavors. One word probably sums up the situation better than many pages and that word is progression, Yes, progression in nearly all departments was noted. We saw these things coming, in tact they were already here last summer when we began planning the 1948 Kanza. It was then that We decided that something about the Kanza had to be changed too. If something wasn't done, it would become a relic in a modern setting. I t was then that We decided that instead of one book, we would publish two. We had a pair of reasons for believing this would be better: flj Material would be more newsworthy, and C2j More freedom in style would permit us to escape the stereotyped patterns of traditional yearbooks. You'll notice that the book has a larger amount of written material than other books in the past have had. We hope that the copy is so interestingly written that you'll find it not the least bit boring. Here then, is the first installment of a new-style, 1948 Kanza. Hope you enjoy it . . . -WAS. Page 4
