KANGAR00'S NEW LOOK Joi-:N PAius DEAN GRANER cARoL KRAFT Editor Business Manager Associate Editor Here is your new Kangaroo! This year the University of Kansas City is different and better than ever . . . with new buildings and more social affairs. Keeping pace withgthe University, the Kangaroo has also undergone a change. Now you will get not the one old-fashioned Kangaroo . not two . . . but three jam-packed issues. Instead of coming out in late spring, your Kangaroo is ready for you in November, dedi- cated to the Freshman class, in February, with all the winter news, and in the spring, with pictures and stories on l-l'obo Day, seniors, clubs and Spring Fever. With a quick flick of the wrist, Kangaroo answers all your questions concerning the year, such as: What did l do in the fall? , What dances did l attend? , What were the results of the intramural football games? The editor and his staff have worked hard to make the Kangaroo more interesting for all. There have been long, weary hours of deadline fever. But now that the new Kangaroo is here, it has been worth the effort. The Kangaroo has had various homes. A few years ago we shared one room with the printers, then one with the U-News. Now the Kangaroo has a new home, located in the new Student Union building. This new location has given the Kangaroo a chance to grow and a place to really get organized. The idea for the three part annual started back in 1936 at Kansas University and has grown The Kangaroo KANGARO0 STAFF oh n Paris EDITOR ......,,,.,,.,-..,,,,,.,-,ooo,,,-,, BUSINESS MANAGER .......

C. McQuigg to be the modern trend in yearbooks. Mr. R. Mapleson who was with Burger-Baird fostered the original and unique experiment and each year more and more universities are following in the pioneering path of the first three part books. KCU started a trio style book in 1938 and it was put out that way up until 1942. ln keeping with the progressive attitude fol- lowed throughout the whole make-up of the Uni- versity, once again The Kangaroo will make a triple debut. The book will contain all the fea- tures that normally make up a once-a-year book along with current events that can only be effec- tively used in a magazine. Not only for today, next month, and next year, the Kangaroo is for you and yours a decade or more from now. lt is organized so you will be able to leaf through the pages and recall pleasant hours spent on the K. C. U. campus. You will remember tomorrow, the fun, the laughs, your college life, and your fellow students of today. Page 1
