Skulls, Skins Sent to Dyche
Seven skulls of mammals including coyotes, mountain lions, and becats, and the skin of one nutria "myocaster copyus" have been received by Dyche Museum from William L. Jellison, Ravalli county, Montana.
Mr. Jellison is working with the United States Public Health Service at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory. These specimens were contributed to the University because we had no such specimens previously.
The one nutria skin is of a furbearing animal native to the southern half of South America. It is believed that it escaped from a fur farm since it was captured in the wild.
It is probable, says Prof. E. R. Hall, that this animal may be another pest to the farmers such as the English sparrow and brown rat. It's size is half-way between that of a muskrat and a beaver.

Activities Described By Independents
"The Independents," a booklet describing life at K.U. which has been published by the new independent organization, is ready for distribution, according to Rosalie Erwin, president of the group.
The booklet features campus activities, with illustrations by Dora Ann Brown, and gives details of how the independent movement was started at K.U. The cover design, drawn by Lois Thompson, editor of the pamphlet, is a replica of the Spirit of '76, picturing a Jayhawk with a boy on one side and a girl on the other.
The Independent Council met last week to make further plans for organization, and it was decided that the group should have a committee of faculty advisers. The advisers, not to exceed four, will include Dean Henry Werner, and will be chosen by a committee of eight, submitted to the council for approval.
The Union Activities office will be the headquarters of the Independents, Miss Erwin announced. Meetings will be held in this office Monday evenings, and office hours will be announced at the next meeting.
The following standing committees have been announced by the Council. Publicity committee, Mary Turkington, chairman; Virginia Van Order, Mary Olive Marshall, and Dora Ann Brown; Elections committee: Jack Nichols, chairman; Ann Stevens, Pat McMahon, and Marvin Thompson.

"You would be surprised as I was, to learn that most of our patients get less than seven hours sleep, and many only four or five every day. This is a very bad habit. With so little rest, you cannot expect to have a healthy mucous membrane or an alert brain and yet be free from aches pains."
Students should Organize Time
Dean Lawson refers to the statement made recently by Dr. Sam E. Roberts of Kansas City, Mo., in a report to the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology in Chicago. Dr. Roberts' statement was:
Dean Lawson has long contended that students should reduce their schedule to the amount of hours that they are capable of carrying without staying up late at night studying. If the individual student is doing outside work, that is all the more reason why the school work should be reduced. He says also that students would make more A's and B's in courses if they would reduce their scholastic programs.
One of the main causes of so many students having to stay up late at nights preparing the next day's lessons is that many do not organize their time well.
All Work and No Sleep Makes Dull Avhawkers High Schools to Show Work at Art Exhibit Plans
Grades Would Be Improved
Take for example, Dean Lawson said, a student who is carrying 16 hours. With labs included the student probably spend about 20 hours a week in class. This would mean about 4 hours spent in class each day. Then if the student spends about five or six hours studying each day, eigh hours for sleep, and three hours for meals, he still has three hours of free time each day to do as he pleases. Most of the above allocations of time are a little large so there will probably be more than the three free hours each day. This would also leave the weekends completely free of studying.

The second plan will be a radio conference where are critics for the high schol exhibit will discuss students' work sent in by the high schools.
The third plan concerns the publication of a booklet on the high school exhibit and its distribution to high schools. The booklet will contain cuts of some of the outstanding work of high school students sent in to the exhibition.
