2 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WILL COMPILE STATUS FILE OF STUDENT LIFE Survey of Mental, Physical and Social Life to be Given AID ADVISORS Four Sub-Committees Appointed to Report on Conditions Now Existing the committee on University Health, Hygiene and Housing is tentatively considering the construction or a file wherein the status of the students in their mental, physical and social life is given. Such a file would obviate the difficulties of the advisors in these three different aspects of University life, enabling them to have a complete knowledge of the student's university life in the dispensation of advice to them. If a student be failing in his studies and seeks advice from his academic advisor the latter could refer to the status of the student, whether or not this diagnose the reason for his deficiency. In this way the student is considered an entity, and not viewed from the one aspect of scholastic standing. This tentative program, drafted by a sub-committee on Constructive Health Program initiative, relates physical and mental studies of the student for the guidance of advisers and for record; control of environment, considering the problems of housing, feeding and class room hygiene; periodical physical examination, with reference to the structural elements of the exceptional students, in regard to those having bad health, those working, and those who are termed "grids"; standardizing freshmen as to how to organize time, how to study, social orientation, vocational guide services; and appranda; immunization against smallpox, typhoid, diphtheria; development of physical education; research work, to determine best balance in distribution of the student's time, to separate and define types and levels of statistical study of time loss, and to study and analyze Dispenary Records. The Committee on University Health, Hygiene and Housing is divided into four sub-committees, Dean J. T. Sudler of the School of Medicine leads the sub-department for the care of the sick, Dr. B. Sidney Johnson of the P. B. Sherbon of the department of home economics is chairman of the sub-committee on Constructive Health Program for the University. Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor in the department of bacteriology will work cut the standards of Hygiene and Sanitation as head of the third sub-committee. A. Hillenbrand, commissioner is chairman of the fourth committee, which considers the question of housing students and faculty, including co-operative houses and dormitories. GIVES ILLUSTRATED LECTURE Doctor Fitzgerald Shows Medies How Joints Work A lecture, concerning several muscle and bone functions, which was illustrated by dislocating joints and working with muscles of the body, was given at New York to the medical students of the University and a number of men interested in gymnastism work. He dislocated the shoulder; and hip joints and the joints of the foot which when worn in club-footedness, he said. Doctor Fitzgerald has lectured in many of the medical and dental colleges of the United States, having visited the University of Houston, where he is forty or years old and says he is as apt with his dislocations as ever. From here Doctor Fitzgerald will go to the University of Missouri where he will deliver a similar lecture. After each lecture the doctor explains that he is making his living by lecturing to students and would appreciate any contributions from his audience.

Diamond Hunter Writes Interesting Letters From Africa The weather still holds good but it will soon be winter. This is the rainy season. During the dry season it rains not at all and during the rainy season it rains sometimes. About twice a week we have a rain, sometimes it rains steadily all night and again we may have a ventible cloudburst for half an hour or so. Everything happens and growing as it can. The grass everywhere is higher than a man's head and so rank that you can't see ten 'get into it.' (Letters Continued) old mama Schagodias is becoming a nuisance. I took her picture last Saturday and she has been camping on my trail ever since to see it. I spent the whole day at a printing outfit so old mama has only about four or five months to wait. In addition to my trouble as a gardener, farmer, horticulturist, etc., I have troubles in domestic science. Every month comes a chop box filled with a lot of canned goods. Sometimes I can tell what they are and sometimes I can't. Each month I get a case of arrow-root, which looks like flour. Inside the can are directions for cooking, such as adding cold water to make a paste, add about a half cup of hot water and stir. The paste will be found excellent in cooking many dishes." What, for instance? Soup, cake, ice-cream or what! ? Just how a native cook cooks more than 1 know. He knows seventeen ways to prepare a chicken. He can cook all sorts of other thing but theoretical he is not aware of it. All food left over is inspected after the meal, and what can be used again is set aside and the rest is buried or burned. The cook and the boys are not allowed to eat white man's food. If they were they would always be cooking too much. So our cooks cook by guess and good luck. He can tell by the size, shape and rate of a can what is in it. He can tell by the size, shape and rate of a opened, flour, corn-starch, arrow-and a couple of other white powders. I also look alike to me. Sometimes he gives me corn starch pudding with meringue on the top and sometimes he gives me meringue with corn starc, pudding on top. Cake, doughnuts, banana fritters, mayonnaise, all sorts of things he can make. Now and then he cooks a mess of tapoise which is nothing less than casavain, but you can't make him believe they are the same. I've got to go and kill a hippo for my men, and I haven't got one yet, up here. I have no time to hunt and that is about the only meat they can get, as goats and chickens are too native to be asked to the white man for cloth.
