UPEN HOUSE FOR A WEEK AT Y. M. C. A
New and Old Students T Be Welcomed Day and Night
SPOTT'S TO LEAD CHEERING
Boxing, Refreshments. Footbal "Dope", Rooster Fights and Athletics on Program
A whole week of entertainment and welcome to new and old students from the University Y. M. C. A., located in Myers hall, will be conducted following yesterday's reception, according to Conrad Hoffman, the new secretary.
Saturday night a preliminary meeting was held at 1333 Ohio to get things in shape for a big welcome. Yesterday at Myers hall from 2 to 6 p.m. a general reception to students and faculty was given. Tonight at 7 p.m. a big boxing match and prize fight will be held at the same place, with everybody in the University invited.
Tomorrow night will be athletic night. Coaches Mosse and Hamilton will tell of the football prospects for this fall. Ralph Spotts, the famous fog-horn cheer leader, will lead the new men and teach them the yells and Kansas songs. All freshmen are urged to be there.
Wednesday night the fun continues. Starting at 7 p. m. there will be a game rooster fight in Myers hall. Several such matches will be held, but no betting will be allowed. A free feed will finish the exercises.
Thursday night. Spotts will again lead the cheering and a great indoor track meet and tryout will be held. Many special features will be given, including a faculty relay race.
The Y. M. C. A. is helping many students find work. More than 250 applications have come in and the exact number of positions filled is hard to estimate as yet. Rooms to accommodate 1500 students are listed there at all prices, and students in need of information are urged to seek out the new secretary and get acquainted at once.
A checking stand to assist students is being maintained down town by the Y. M. and a blazed trail from the depots to the hill has been laid out.
CITIES SHOULD BETTER THEIR WATER SUPPLIES
Professor Haskins Points Out Lesson The Dry Spell Teaches
C. A. Haskins of Lawrence, state sanitary engineer, warns Kansasowns that in order to be better able to cope with any drothas that may come to this state in the future the Kansas towns should see to it that their water supplies are increased before another year.
"Looked at from our viewpoint the drouth may be considered a benefit," said Mr. Haskins, "in that it brought home to many towns the necessity of enlarging their water supply and plants. Furthermore it will impress upon other towns, which do not now have, but plan to build, public water works, the necessity of an adequate supply to meet just such contingencies as Kansas experienced this summer."
DUELS STILL POPULAR IN GERMAN SCHOOLS
As state sanitary engineer Mr. Haskins has visited practically all of the cities in the state this summer and has examined the conditions in ward to water. He stated today just the conditions had been very much exaggerated in reports that have been circulated. He says that few of the 125 cities in Kansas having water works had serious difficulty this summer with their water supply due to the prolonged dry weather. In a number of places Mr. Haskins found the water supply polluted, which was due to the low or concentrated supply. All of these towns are taking steps to enlarge their source of supply.
Few Facial Sears the Work of Surgeons, Says E. M.Briggs
EXCHANGE PROFESSOR BACK
Difference Between American and German Educational Methods Marked.
Returning last week from a year's exchange work teaching English composition and conversation to German students in Berlin, Prof. E. M. Briggs, of the German department, says the German school system is not particularly better than that of the United States, that duelling is not by any means doing in German and that German instructors care no more for their students than they would for so many posts. Herr Kellermann of Spandau was here last year in exchange for Professor Briggs.
Concerning recent reports that German doctors were making money carving up the faces of young men back there who wanted scars on their faces, but not from actual sword duelling, Professor Briggs writes an article in *Harper* that dueling as popular as ever, and that it is quietly sanctioned by the Kaiser, who thinks it encourages a fighting spirit.
Through friends Professor Briggs gained admittance to several of these duels and describes one as follows:
"The two men stand just a sword's length from each other, and according to the rules of the game neither can budge from his tracks. Planting themselves firmly, they do not jab with the swords, but rather attempt to cut each other on the top of the head or on the cheeks. At times sauwdust must be put on the floor to keep a man from slipping in his own blood, and it is not uncommon to stop a duel to mop the blood off a man's face before he can see to proceed.
"Practically all such duels take place in clubs corresponding to our fraternities, though now and then the police break in and stop the attack. The guards, shaped scar on either cheek is greatly enviwed by his comrades."
Some interesting differences between German and American colleges are cited by Professor Briggs. School starts there about April first, and after a month's vacation in August the first semester ends in October sometime. After a week or so the second semester starts and ends in March sometime. A general summer vacation is unknown there. Pupils usually study during stationation and attend classes when they wish during school. They don't have a class all, but when finals come, they are expected to "deliver the goods." In case they do, they leave college full-fledged Ph.D. men with much more book knowledge and far less practical experience and at about the same age as do American college students.
