WOODPECKER'S DEGREE IS ONLY A FAKE
It Appears now That He's not Entitled to Be Called an Engineer
The Red-headed Woodpecker was classed as a Campus Engineer in Tuesday's Engineer's Edition of the Daily Kansan. May be theEngineer's would not care to claim him as one of their number, had his true character been represented.
The Museum experts, speaking of the food habits of this bird, state conclusively that his economic importance is small. He is not an insect-egg and larva-gathering worker, as he is the Downey Woodpecker, nor does he drill for tree-killing worms and grubs like the Hairy Woodpecker. He does not drill in live wood at all, or ornithologists say, but uses them for feeding. That was of drilling in live trees for borer" that was attributed to him in Tuesday's Daily Knasan is the special field of the injurious Yellow-bellied Sapsucker; y that is not a resident of Kansas.
The Red-head has the reputation of being a lazy fellow that has got above hard work. He feeds, according to curator of the Museum, largely on winged insects, ants, beetles, some of which are beneficial, and on wild fruit. Individuals of his kind have been sensitized to the dangers though it is known by ornithologists that this is not a general habit of the species.
The only trait of his that could in any way include him in the class of engineers, is his custom of wedging nuts and grains of corn in the crevices in the bark of trees and in cracks in old posts, sometimes enlarging the crevice to the morsel. Then too he excavates his nest in decayed trees.
Even though he be proved an economic failure, he is an interesting bird of striking plumage and is well suited to the environment, although he may charge for the pleasure.

The annual high school debate for the championship of the state in chapel Friday night between Ashland and Burlington high schools promises to be one of the closest and most interesting debates held this year. Burlington with a team of two girls and one boy will argue in favor of extending the championship while Ashland with two boys and one girl will oppose "women suffrage."
Ashland won last year. Should that team be given the decision this year, Ashland will own the big silver loving cup offered by the Regents of the University for the team winning two years in succession. Both schools are sentencing a delegation of rooters, and the University students out Friday night will hear real high school cheering as well as an enthusiastic debate upon the most important question before the people of Kansas today.
