service.
The campaign opened Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. The subject was "Social and Industrial Problems and Their Solution" Eddy proclaimed an era of news and good will for the large fraction of humanity born into the world possessing nothing heretofore beside dependence upon the casual job.
job.
A new attitude and application of right principles embodying personality, brotherhood, service, liberty, jus- and responsibility were discussed in turn, with the conclusion that democracy in government can never exist with autocracy in industry.
The address Saturday evening on "Campus Problems," dealt with the phases of honesty, moral earnestness, and purity in plain talk and fearless manner. He plead for resistance against the apparent insignificance of a neo-paganism which he claimed was sweeping some of our larger institutions.
Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock he spoke on the "Challenge of a Rational Faith." He praised the evidence of interest in religion and urged the adoption of a Christian faith as the only lasting satisfaction of the will, the reason, conscience, and religious nature.
His address at 3:30 c'clock Sunday afternoon was devoted to a general review of the four preceding messages. In "The Challenges of the Greatest Quest," Sharwood Edkay takes for service as opposed to selfishness.
"Our whole industrial life must be tested by its fruits," said he, "and our one aim is to seek and establishment of a kingdom of humanity, righteousness, mercy, and equality of opportunity for all."

MAY COMPENSATE THE HEIRS
Senate Bill Carries Bell Hospital
Appropriation Provisions
Of two bills that have been introduced into the upper house of the Kansas legislature, one would purchase land in Roealead joining the present site of the Bell Memorial Hospital. The other provides for the reimbursement of the heirs of the late Dr. Simone Bell for the land and money giveaway at the establishment of the hospital. The first bill carries provisions which would appropriate $35,000 for the purchase of additional lots.
The introduction of the bill is the outgrowth of a plan whereby the state agreed to move the hospital site and erect a new building higher on the hills near Rosdale. The intention is to use the old building for special medical purposes. It is argued that by buying lands in such grounds, both the old and the new buildings would be included on the same plot of ground.
The heirs of Dr. Bell insist that the hospital and medical school should remain on the site originally given by the doctor and makes a grant of
Dr. Bell, and then they will seek to have the state remit them for the land and actual cash given the state by Dr. Bell, or to return them the value of the land and money with 6 percent interest. The bill has appropriation provisions for $75,600 to be used for this purpose.

CIGARETTES HARMFUL TO GROWING RABBITS
Professor Baumgartner Finds Effect of "Fags" on a Litter of Rumpus
A litter of rabbits in pens at the University has furnished facts that will lend great weight to one of the strong arguments used by anti-cigarette workers, the argument that the cigaret retards growth and lessens lung function, based on with young rabbits show that those subjected to cigarette smoke for short periods daily through some four or a half months, or during their normal growing period, made materially less progress in weight than did the "smoked," according to W. J. Baumgartner, matruector of the Kansas annual convention of the Kansas Academy of Science, Friday.
"There has never been opportunity of course, to carry out a like experiment with human beings," said Professor Baugartner, "but I should judge that were such an experiment possible, the results would be similar. For example, cigarette smoke retards the growth of young boys, but never was there actual scientific experiments to prove the assertion, so far as I know. It is my object to furnish such data.
"I find that the effect of cigarette smoke on young rabbits is very marked. It retards their growth, causes them to be less active and seemingly affects their morale in that they do not keep clean as other rabbits. Those who inhaled smoke a half hour three times a day sulked, wrapped with nails less and did not attain normal size."
"I am continuing to watch these same rabbits to determine what effects, if any, are noticeable in the offspring of the "smoked" rabbits that are not evident in those of the normal rabbits."
ONE-HALF OF FROSH SMOKE
Investigations By Naismith Show Status of Tobacco
Out of the 297 freshmen questioned,
Dr. James Naismith has found that
about **many** men smoke as do not,
138 claiming that they use no form
of cigarette, and **138** confessing that
they are addicts to the habit in some decree.
Ninety-one men smoke cigarettes, only while seven use cigars exclusively. Seven also find joy in the use of the traditional college symbol—the pipe. Several showed no preference, but used the three indiscriminately. Eight of the first year men were unable to cultivate a lifestyle for the three that are disappointing to use it. Twenty-nine find it impossible to get along by using it only occasionally, and some of the neophytes even "chaw."
One freshman started smoking when he started his schooling, both at the tender age of six, while eleven had started smoking by the time they were twelve. Eighteen seems to be the most dangerous age, as thirty-five victims to the "foul stuff" at that age, though twenty-eight fell by the time he was eleven, according to Dr. Naimshim. Only fifteen began smoking after they had attained their majority and five must have been smoking since infancy, as they were unable to remember just when they did start using tobacco.

Major Burdick Times the Crowd As It Leaves After Convocation
A HAZARDOUS FIRETRAP
Small Exit Facilities Make Building a Dangerous Place for Large Meetings
Maj. Harold D. Burdick, of R. O. T. C. timelike the audience that attended convocation Friday morning on the length of time it required to vacate Robinson Gymnasium, and found that on account of the facilities, eight minutes transpired before the building was empty.
This places the gymnasium decidedly in the fire tracp class. We a serious conflagration to develop while the main floor is crowded, there is little doubt but that the results would be a large number of fatalities.
Major Burdick attributes the large lapse of time required for the vacating the building to the fact that the audience can get to the doors and stairs more quickly than the stairs will accommodate them. The building is not equipped with fire escapes, but Major Burdick does have them, and these presentations would alter the situation very greatly.
"I believe that a system should be worked out whereby the crowd can leave the room in an organized manner," said Major Burdick today.
"There should be somebody there to direct the members of the audience to certain exits, so that one section of the floor would go out of one door, out of another door, and so on."
Fraser Hall, where large assemblies are frequently held, is equipped with an excellent system of fire escapes. There are also fire escapes on other buildings in which large meetings are held. But the gymnasium, which constitutes the only adequate place of assembly the University has, has nothing but regular entrances. While the gymnasium is built of stone and brick, a dangerous fire is likely to develop, nevertheless the panic and stampede cause by only a small fire would mean disastrous results.

BONUS BILL PASSES HOUSE
Resolution Favorably Reported by Senate Committee
Granting of a bonus to all ex-servicemen of Kansas is now under consideration in the state legislature at Topeka. A resolution, which provides that each man who served in the World War from this state shall receive one dollar for each day of service, has already been approved and has been favorably reported by the committee of military affairs in the Senate.
The resolution calls for a referendum to the voters of Kansas of a proposition that the state issue $25,000,000 in bonds. These bonds will be sold and the proceeds used to pay the bonus. The debt is arranged to fall due in annual installments of $1,000,000 and is to bear interest not exceeding $1,000,000 of State, Adjunct General and State Auditor will administer the law and have charge of granting the bonuses if the measure passes.
Evidence of the strong favor that the bill has in the legislature was shown by the vote in the House. Only five votes were against the measure whereas eighty representatives were in favor of it.
Service in any branch of the army or navy entitles men or women to receive the bonus under the provision of this measure, but enlistment previous to November 11, 1918, is necessary.
DORM BILL PASSES SENATE
House Judicial Committee Has Recommended Companion Bill
The Senate passed the Women's Dormitory Bill Friday by a vote of 21 to 8. A short time later the House Judicial Committee recommended a bill that would allow that the bill will be advanced on the calendar and given "just conervation."
Miss Margaret Lvnn, president of the dormitory committee stated that the bond issue for the dormitory will pay five percent on the investment. The dormitory committee believe that the money obtained from the rent of the rooms will pay for the maintenance of the room and to keep up the interest on the bonds to provide for a sinking fund that will be applied on the principle.
There has been some talk that the rooms and parrons will be furnished lavishly, but there is no idea of doing this. Miss Lynn said. The rooms will be pleasant and will be made as comfortable as possible, but the furnishings will not be extravagant. The rooms are clean and no girl will be allowed to buy accommodations better than her sister students. The cost of rooms will be about the same as the average cost of rooms outside the dormitory. The management will be in the hands of an organized body of women.
JAYHAWKERS DEFEAT
FARMER TRACK TEAM
Gallager Was High-Point Man For Aggies; Bradley for Kansas
DISTANCE RACES FEATURE
Sandefur's Shot Putting Best Individual Mark of Meet
Kansas won a track meet.
This line, for three years a stranger to reports of conference athletics, was made possible Saturday afternoon when the Aggie Farmers were defeated 43-2-3 to 41-1-3 in a meet at Robinson Gymnasium.
The relay was by the Aglies, although Reid, anchor man for Kansas, gave Watson, Olympic star, a close race. The final five points were not necessary, however, and Coach Karl Schadmann did not use "Flukey" O'Leary, who won the 449 for Kansas.
Although the Aggies loomed up as victors in the first few events, the Jahywah athletes came back strong and, by taking both places in the high jump, the shot put, and the two mile went into the lead. In only one event, the half mile, did the visitors annex both places.
Gallagher, the Wildcats, was high-point man with firsts in the two hurdles and the 30-yard dash. Bradley, Crimson and Blue captain, captured three seconds and a tie for first, and was second in the honor roll.
The distance races were the greatest of the meet. Clapp won the half mile, defeating Watson, his running mate, who ran headily, boxing Dierking, the K. U. hope, Massey won the 2-mile run handily. Patterson, a new man on the squad, sprung out to victory with former Kansas City, Kas star. Watson won from Dierking in the milion after a hard race.
A Kansas victory was assured when Rogers succeeded in stealing Hope and Axline, Akgle entrants, in the pole vault. One of the best individual marks in the meet was made by Sandefur, who tossed the 16-pound shot from behind the net and shattered his own record established last year in this event is the opinion held by the 500 truck fans who witnessed his heave.
The summary:
Mile run—First, Watson, Aggies; second, Dierking, Kansas. Time 4:44:1.
