ONE-EIGHTH OF CHICAGO U.
MEN HABITAT SMOKERS
Out of 400 college men examined by the University of Chicago medical department this fall, twenty-six have almost perfect health, while the general health of all compares very favorably with that of recent years, according to Dr. Reed of the medical department.
Six per cent of the men passed with high marks. Only forty-eight men with abnormal hearts were found, a great decrease over last year's number. Defective eyesight is also more rare. Ten per cent of the men had perfect teeth. Smoking is more prevalent than last year, fifty men confessing themselves to be habitual smokers against only ten of last year. Fifty-three said they were occasional smokers.

BRER RABBIT IMPOSED UPON
Hyena, Mink, and Fox Parading in His Coat, Says Game Warden
Fischer's
If that good, short-tailed Old Brer Rabbit slain by a hunter's shell, came back to earth for a visit he would not recognize his own mother. Instead he would meet Mr. Wildcat, Miss Hyaen, Sister Mink or, old man, the one whose massuere in his gray coat. Prof. L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden in examining the assortment of furs on the market this fall has found that the greater part of them are just common rabbit skins, which could have been dipped in the vet to suit the taste of Milady.
A few common gray rabbit skins were found in Kansas City and neighboring towns, but the jack rabbit was decidedly in evidence. Eastern rabbits of the brownish rich heavy fur while the fur of the white rabbit can be made into a clever imitation of the much prized fox of the arctic fox by the use of comb and polish. Belgian hare furs were found among the higher pried furs, but merchants deceived that the war has made their sons.
According to Professor Dyche rabbit skin makes an especially warm fur, which will wear for two or three years and no harm comes from using them except that they are sold at more expensive prices when palmed off in imitation of fancy furs. No fur except the very best as otter seal, mink, beaver or the like will outwear the rabbit skin. Illustrating the rabbit skin, Professor Dyche said: "The rabbit skin sleeping bag used in my travels through the arctic regions was much too warm for ordinary use."
Besides the German carp there is nothing that Professor Dyche enjoys more than a discussion of the Kansas skunk. According to his theory, "No one loves the skunk when he is alive and kicking, but his mortal remains of hardy individuals make a business of skunk raising and a profitable business it is, too. Skunk fur is beautiful in itself and can be dyed to imitate various other furs. The felt of the civet cat, a member of the skunk family, is black with row of spots, on the back and underbelly neck. Skunk fur is black and white striped and is growing more popular every year.
"In addition to his fur when dead, the despised skunk is useful to the farmer because he destroys many grasshoppers. All other animals have a wholesome respect for the skunk and let him strictly alone, except the opposum, which will kill the skunk whenever possible."
FEW FRESHMEN FLUNKED DURING FIRST MONTHS
Directories Here
Next Few Weeks May Show Conditions to be Entirely Different Though
Everyone who ever attended a college is always more or less interested in "funkks." But when that stage is reached where funkes are not, interest becomes more intense. According to Dean Templin, of the College, there has not been a single freshman compelled to drop rhetoric since the third week of the school year; that time there were thirty-four of the first year students placed in a sub-freshman rhetoric class because it was believed that they would not be able to carry the work that was required of them. "I truly believe that the high schools of Kansas are growing stronger every year in their English departments," declared Dean Templin today. "I further believe that an interest in these topics that I have in the universities who do not get through the year without a flunk are, in the great majority of cases, those who have been able to float through high school."
The remarkable record that has been made in the rhetoric department has been equaled by the freshmen who are in the mathematics department. According to Prof. J. N. Van der Vries there has been only a few compilers, to droop the main reading materials were required to do so because their class advisors thought that they were carrying too much work.
While these facts are considered remarkable, it must be remembered that these records are for the first two months of school only. Perhaps within the next few weeks there will be another tale to tell.
LAWRENCE HIGH BEATS
EVER-VICTORIOUS PATTY
Registrar George O. Foster received the first copy of the 1914 student directory yesterday. He expects to have a shipment of directories for distribution about the end of the week. The books are held up at this time for covers.
The book is about the same as that of last week both in make up and in the information it contains.
If the man who took the grey chinchilla overcoat from the library cloak room Monday morning, and at noon brought back a brown balm-acron which he took frm the Varsity two weeks ago, will return the former immediately, nothing will be done.
52-3*
Pratt high school, ever-victorious for three years, was swamped by Lawrence high on their home grounds Friday, score 41 to 7. With Rosse Stubbs starring at guard, Howard Laslett and Richard Randall at ends, and Ralph Dicker at half, the Lawrence boys walked away with 27 first downs to their opponent's 6.

STUDENTS AND FACULTY NOT BACKWARD IN MIXING
Dyer, Junior Electrical Engineer Thinks Social Affairs at University are Good
"K. U. isn't as backward as a lot of schools in the manner in which the students mix with the faculty," says P. L. Dyer, a junior electrical engineer at the university was a staircase at the government. Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Military discipline doesn't make for friendship, Dyer says, and the ordinary student at Annapolis gets about as close to his instructors as a private in the German army does to Emperor Wilhelm. Students never speak to professors even when they meet them on the street, but they must always give the military salute or risk a string of demerits.
Such a thing as student faculty mixers, whist tournaments, or stag parties would never occur to the 'middies' mind let alone be put into practice. The students are only allowed to leave the grounds at certain times and then have to go to the head officer and obtain written permission. As a consequence the milchman dislike their instructors and blame them for the harsh restrictions.
"K U. men may think that they go through school without gaining anything from social association with their instructors, and there isn't enough of it," said Dyer, "but there are so many places where conditions are much worse than I, for one, will never compaink himself in any account. Just let anybody who thinks himself abused try a year or two at Anapolis, it will prove him mighty quickly."
MEN SELECT COLLEGEWOMENS'HATS Northwestern University Ask for Vote
Men at Northwestern University have to select hats for their women classmates. The duty was not sought, but like some kinds of greatness, was left on their hands. It is a consequence of a hat reform which several young men had never long ago. They wanted the women to wear a simple, but distinctive headgear. That was fine, the women agreed. But about the style, they disagreed. One wanted a small hat, another wanted a large one; one wanted a blue hat, another wanted a red hat; one wanted feathers another wanted daisies; and one which embodied all their ideals of such a headpiece and the dozen creations were worn to a concert.
The women tried to select a hat which all should be required to wear, but the task was hopeless. So, to get results, they decided that the advocates of each style should wear their favorites for a week on the campus. Then the men were to take a straw vote on the styles
