Plans for this year's Mining and Geology edition of the Kansan were discussed at a meeting of the Mining Journal staff Thursday night.

DAILY HEALTH HINTS By the University Health Committee
Rest, proper exercise, fresh air, plain food, plenty of water and free elimination,—these are the body's needs.
Colds attack the body only when the resisting power is low—a condition brought about by loss of sleep, great ailment (whether muscular, mental, or motional), indiscretions of diet, or air breathing dirty air. Hence the January crop of colds may be due to he graveyals of the holiday weeks.
Schwegler Talks Tomorrow
Dr. R. A. Schweger will speak at Myers Hall Tuesday night at 7 o'clock upon "The Students' Religious Experience." This talk is the first of a series of addresses arranged by the Y. M. C. A. upon the fundamentals of religion.
What are you doing to increase your resistance—the vital surplus, your balance in the savings bank of you; you draggings along from day to day, literally and equally sort of life? Must you pinch and save to make your vitality last, saying, "This I have not strength to do," or "That might make me sick?""> or "That could make you stronger enough to enable you to meet any emergency without fear?"
Choral Union meet for a rehearsal Tuesday night at 7:30 in Fraser House.
University Women Ought Make Life Plan, Says Mrs. Cramer
DECIDE UPON LIFE PLASTER FALLS VOCATION EARLY IN FRASER ROOM
THE TIMES ARE CHANGING
Now Young Women May Enter the Industrial Pursuits
"Decide during your first year in college what you expect to adopt as your life vocation and fit your other college years accordingly," said Mrs. William Cramer, head of the Kansas Vocational Bureau, in her talk to University women in Fraser Hall Friday afternoon.
In discussing the problem of selecting a life work, Mrs. Cramer told of interesting experiences she had had with inexperienced young women who had little or no idea of the ways and situations that women were audience was delightfully amused with her story of the Kansas girl who wanted to be a movie actress
The only vocation open to college women graduates has been that of school teaching until recently, added Mrs. Cramer. Times are changing for college women to the college woman. This is especially true in the industrial pursuits. A knowledge of stenography and typewriting can be profitably considered with college subjects in preparing for many vocations, the speaker pointed
AMUSED HER AUDIENCE
This young woman with movie ambitions wrote to the employment bureau of the United States government to obtain her permission to form the form of a Venus-de-Milo, and long beautiful hair. The question of that peculiar fitness necessary for success in the motion picture world was not set by any young woman did not get a position.
IS A NEW MOVEMENT
Vocational work as outlined by Mrs. Cramer is receiving attention in many of the larger cities of the country. The state has come to realize that the product of the schools is not being used for the best interests of the commonwealth. The result is now being shown in an increased activity in giving advice, advancing guidance to thousand students and girls in public schools and universities. Attention is given to college students that they may take the opportunity to consider the market conditions for college trained-individuals.
Mrs. Cramer personally interviewed many women in Fraser Hall Saturday

Leaky Roof Causes Ceiling to Crumble in Room 310 This Morning
NO ONE IN ROOM AT TIME
One French Class Held There Later—Others Used Chapel Gallery for Recitations
The plastering on the ceiling of Room 310 Fraser Hall crumbled away shortly before the 8:30 period this morning. No one happened to be in the room at the time. The early classes found the room in bad condition as the plastering in the center part of the room had fallen on the furniture littering it up almost beyond use.
One French class was held in the room at 8:30 in spite of the lime dust and powdered plaster on the floor and chairs because no other class room was available in the building at hour. The class was advised to hover the walls for several strips of plaster were hanging from the ceiling.
FELL WHEN DRY
The crumbling this morning is due to the drying which the plaster received after being water soaked. The roof of Fraser above this room has lapped on several occasions and at the present time the plaster was unusually placed or for some time burp up and then placed on the room after each rain to prevent the water from going through to the room below.
CLASSES BALKED
The remaining classes scheduled to meet in this room today refused to take the risk. The gallery of Fraser chapel was used for class room but this proved to be a poor meeting place on account of a low temperature.
Workmen started this afternoon to repair the room. It will be put in shape as soon as possible as it is needed for a class room.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL ON
Frosch Defeat Sophs as Seniors Lose to Juniors
The first women's basketball games of the season was played Saturday morning when the freshman team took a one sided affair from the sophomores by a score of 41 to 11 while the juniors defeated the fourth year squad 40 to 13. The poor showing of the sophomores was partly due to the injuries of the players; players were out of the game because of a strained arch and sickness.
Ruth Bottomly, a jumping center,
Martha Wulf, a forward, and
Katherine Orelup, a guard, were the stars of
the freshmen, while Darlene Woolsey,
a jumping center, and Lucy Heathman, a guard, did exceptionally good work for the sophomores. One feature of this freshman-sophomore team was Ruth Faris, a forward, made all of the points for the sophomores.
The juniors are fast and shifty and showed the best form of any of the teams. Every player on the junior team with the exception of one of the guards has played together for the last two years, first on the freshman team and then on the sophomore team. They have had a very successful Tucker, (captain) running center, and Joyce Brown, a forward, showed some teamwork that is hard to beat.
This was the first time that all of the senior players had practiced together and they did exceptionally good work to hold the fast junior team to as low a score as they did. The rest of the team, Miriam Jones, (captain) a running center, and Helen Ruhland, a guard, showed the best form.
Sophomores: Woolsey-Canavan, j.c; Drake-Woolsey, i.; Faris, f.; BrownWalling, f.; Heathman, g. and West-Drake-Dunmire, g.

WORMS CHARGE ON TREES
Vellhouse Builds Strong First Line of Defense
Mr. W. H. Wellhouse of the department of entomology has declared war on the Canker worm which makes its home in lawns and yards. This little worm is human in some respects and responds readily to the effects of warm weather. No doubt it yawns, stretches and decides that it may come into contact and do a few of the spring chores.
Now it is a matter of history that during the few days of warm weather recently Mrs. Canker worm thought she had better crawl up the tree trunk and find a nice cozy leaf on which to lay a few hundred eggs. Nature so provided that Mr. Canker worm is the only member of the household that possesses wings. Mrs. Canker worm crawls around the house, but when she looks so much like bark that she will not be seen by the observing eye of man. So the Cankers took advantage of the warm weather and began to make their Heiria early.
Mr. Wellhouse and his three student helpers, waging an active campaign against this household of worms placed bands around the tree trunks on the campus. They smeared these bands with some delicacy that insects like about as well as human beings relish carabolic acid. It is sticky and holds Mr. and Mrs. Canker worm unknots over the leaves of the vine, over the evil they would have done to the leaves on that particular tree. These bands were put up on January 2. On January 11 there were 325 moths caught on one single band.

JAYHAWKERS WIN
ANOTHER GAME
University Defeat Normals In Second Game of Season Friday Night
THE SCORE WAS 36 TO 27
Point
K. U. Got Big Lead in First Half Led Last Session by One
The Jayhawker quintet took a fast and exciting game from the Kansas Normal five in the second scheduled Friday night in Robinson gymnasium.

LEGISLATORWOULD ABOLISH PADDLING
Marysville Man Objects to Freshman Caps and Blanket Tossing
A bill to prohibit hazing in the state educational institutions may be introduced this week by S. F. Paul of Blue Rapids, a member of the lower house from Marshall county. Mr. R. R. Hawkins of Marysville has written to Representative Paul concerning the actions of college students in Kansas.
Mr. Hawkins, in his letter, says that he has lived in a college town and has seen strange sights. He also writes in theory the laws of the state cover having as assasin and battery, but in practice nothing has ever been done.
"Young men on their way to athletic grounds carry pieces of boards which they use on other young men during a recess in the game because the young men have refused to wear as certain kind of cap, or because they have brought their girls to the game," writes Mr. Hawkins.
Hazing in the form of blanket tossing also is mentioned by Mr. Hawkins. Another objection is that groups of young men bought a supply of ridiculous caps and made other young men buy these caps and wear them. "Safety First" buttons were also sold on compulsion to students. And this, according to Mr. Hawkins, is highway robbery.
"We are not in favor of hazing in any form in the University," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "To me, hazing means a group of young men paddling or attacking one lone young man or several because of infraction of rules set down and observed by other underclassmen. I do not want to harm anyone called hazing, for the man in the bleachers usually comes willingly."
Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law, said he would be opposed to hazing if he were the one to be paddled. And he quit talking there.
Hawkins suggested to his representative a minimum fine of ten dollars for each student in misalloy from college for the second. Further, he would make it a crime for any teacher not to use diligence in protecting students from brutal hazers, and from being compelled to wear caps and join the rooters club.
