Year's Statistics Show Importance Of Gym Classes
Physical Education With Sports Needed to Round Out Students, Says Naismith
A review of the work of ninety-first-year men in physical education classes shows: fifty-seven gained in height, 20 lost, the greatest loss 1.2 inch, and six gained in weight while nine lost, the greatest gain being 18 pounds while the greatest loss was 7 pounds; sixty-nine gained in chest measurement, while fourteen lost; seventy-three gained while the greatest loss was 4.4 inch.
"Since nearly all of the American sports, such as baseball, football, tennis, and trock, develop only the lower portion of the body to develop the upper part," Dr. James Naisimith said today. "That is why we stress such games as rope-climbing, ladder-climbing, horizontal bars, parallel bars, and tumbling, which is just the kind of activities they don't get in modern athletics."
Urge Normal Development
"It is very startling, the condition in which we find many men on entering the University. Some have wonderful development in the lower parts of their body while their chest and shoulders are much below nor-
"We live from the hips up, and work from the hips down. That's why it is so necessary that we have a lower upper organs. Doctors all over the country have noticed the leesening of diseases of the lungs, such as tuberculosis, since we Americans have our chests and other upper organs.
Study Individual Needs
"in freshman gym we try to give rounded development to the student. By our system of charts on the development of each individual when he enters the University we can tell just what kind of exercise he needs to develop his weak parts and get his whole body up to normal.
"This work of rounded development should be done in junior and senior high schools, but they spend most of their time in developing the lower grades. We came to the University with equal development all over their body we could turn freshman gym into a course of recreation. Possibly even more, students could enter into two groups—one for development and the other for recreation.
Seismograph in Blake Hall Shows Earth's Tremors
Apparatus Records Quake
The seismograph which resided in Blake hall for several years has now been installed and is in working order in the Geology building.
The seismograph is connected with the strata of the rock bed upon which the University is built. The apparatus is also attached to a clock which is used in locating the tremors which are very delicately balanced so that the slightest quake jars the needles. One of the needles records the north and south directions and the length of the travel lines traced by these needles are parallel and straight but when the quake occurs the line becomes jagged. A tremor was recorded the other day of a quake somewhere and a few days later a notice in the paper describes the location of the station. To locate the tremors this station will have to be connected with other seismograph stations by telegraph so that when a termor is registered, the time it occurred, the length of the tremor, the temperature it can be flashed to the different stations, and a chart made by which the quake can be located.

"A Human Grasshoper" is the title of a photograph reproduced in the graphic section of the New York Tribune, Sunday, May 13, showing "Poor, University of Kansas' famous high jumper, clearing the bar at six feet four, which won for him first place in this event at the record-breaking track carnival held recently by Drake University."

hancellor of Exchequer Is Ap pointed to Form New Government
New British Premier Is Selected by King To Succeed Bonar Law
London, May 22-Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer in the old Bonar Law ministry, has been made premier of Great Britain.
Baldwin was summoned to Buckingham palace by King George this afternoon and after a conference it was announced that he had accepted the invitation of the King to form a new government.
The announcement was made at 4:30 p.m. M. selection was made after the King had indirectly communicated with leaders of the Conservative party, of which Baldwin is a member.
Sir Robert Horne will take Baldwin's place as chancellor of the exchequer, says a Central News dispatch. Baldwin is expected to receive the automatic resignation of the old Baldwin Law and the new government probably will be appointed tomorrow. There will be no material changes.
Colored Pastor's Dog Saved from Medics
It cost the Rev. L. A. Shorter, pastor of the Colored Methodist church of Eldorado, $6.60 to secure the return of a student sent to the University of Kansas.
The dog was taken into custody several days ago by a colored dog catcher in Eldorado, when it was found running at large. It, with a number of other dogs was shipped to the university, to be used by medical students.
Upon finding the whereabouts of his pet, the minister wired the school of medicine not to kill the dog, but to show it back to Elidorado.
Express charges amounted to $3.66.
After paying the express upon the arrival of the dog, the minister secured a city license tag for it. That cost $2 and he was fired $1 for allowing his dog to run at large. The return of the dog thus cost the minister $6.66.

Valley Track Meet At Ames this Week May Break Records
Capt. Rogers Expected to Set New High Mark in Pole Vault Event
The All-Missouri Valley track meet will be held at Ames- Iowa, May 25 and 26. The meet promises to be fast and several records are due to fall as several high marks have been set in the dual meets this spring. Kansas and Nebraska loom over two strongest contenders for the title.
Nebraska has the edge, according to old man dope, but dope may be upset and the Jayhawkers or some other school may cop the pennant. The Missouri are both strong, as their showing in recent dual meets proves.
The broad jump record may be broken as both Graham of Kansas and Wadell of Missouri approached the record in the recent Kansas-Missouri jumper who may upset the dope, Rogers may set a new vault record, as he broke the Kansas record last Saturday and set a new record of 12 feet 8-3-4 inches. He had perfect time on the track with several bars with several inches to snare.
Tom Poor may chalk up a new high record, as he has cleared the bar around 6 feet 4 inches all season and may beat that. Firebaugh, in the quarter, also steps the distance in creditable time.
A Student Union Building Next!
The Rooming House association, the membership of which is made up of all persons who keep student roomers, will meet tomorrow afternoon. An interesting discussion is planned at theization of rooms will be considered, as a result of the situation created by the new dormitories.
Fewer Rooms Requested Than for Last Summer
Kansas City, Mo. May 22—The lowest price on hops reached on the Kansas City market since January, 1922 was reached today with a top price of $7.25 per cwt. For several weeks the market has been easing off to lower level with receipts continuing heavy.
Reports from the Rooming House committee show that the number of requests for rooms for summer school session are fewer than at this time last year. It is expected that more will come in soon. Heavier school work, with less time to compute costs, may cause a decrease in summer school attendance for this year are the supposed causes of this.
