Results of Test Show Young Snakes Lack Proper Venom Supply
Reptiles Are Willing to Strike,
but Victims Show No Sign
of Distress
Morgentown, W. Va., May 5- The reputed poisonessness of very young snakes of venomous species has been put to test by Prof. Albert M. Reese at the University of West Virginia, according to a report in Science.
When only a day old, Professor Reease states, the young brood of copperheads which he was keeping in captivity were both able and willing to bite, even when poorly died, with some doubt as to the real cause of its death. When they were about a month old the young copperheads were again given the opportunity to strike a young rat, which showed no signs of distress. The snakes were later killed for museum specimens, and one gland, examined under the microscope, did not appear to have been actively secreting. Proposals to regard his experiments as completely closing the evidence.

Frosh Cap Tradition Originated in Fall of 1908 After Defeat of Freshmen in Firehose Riot
On October 1, 1908, a group of up percussionists in from of Snow Hall sailed a number of freshmen with the firebase in a near riot. This simple little episode gave rise to the fresh man cap at K. U.
The incident marked one of the last outbursts of having on the campus. It was a well conducted affair, judging by the lack of discipline and formality which was then a tri-weekly paper. "A freshman, named Humphrey, from Junction City, who had nerve enough to stand up for the rights of the student class was captured," the account read.
"He objected and was immediately divested of the greater portion of his clothing and the mob headed him for the Kaw river.
"However, this was abandoned and he was taken only to the Pi Phi house as a guest of honor." The poor freshman was refused assumption, however, and he was then forced to perform before the crowd. /
this hating caused a great outburst of criticism. An editorial in the Kansas titled "An Appeal to Common Applicators to be have themselves."
The Student Council of Upperclassmen held a hasty session and a set of rules were devised to take the place of hazing.
The next issue of the Kansas, October 3, 1908, gave the rules in full They read:
“Be it hereby decreed and ordained that from this day and date all freshmen be compelled to live up to the rules and regulations as prescribed by the Council of Upperclassmen of the University of Kansas; to wit:
"After October 15 every freshman shall wear a little green skull cap with a bright red button not less than one half inch in diameter every day in the
week except Sunday." It is presumed that the council believed that the buttons were likely to shrink on certain week days.

The group system, and what W. S. G. A. can do for women will be among the problems to be met at this year's conferences will be sent out to junior and senior women in all organized houses.
"The use of tobacco in any form is forbidden on the campus.
Picnic for Bacteriologists
*Freshman shall dip their hats to faculty members, touch their caps to seniors and give up their seats to make rooms for upperclassmen on campus.*

"All freshmen must attend chape every day and sit in the gallery.
"Freshmen must be in their rooms at 10:30.
High school puns will not be tolerated on the person of any freshman "Freshmen must attend all student celebrations.
"Freshmen flunkers will be called before the student council and dealt with in a severe and effective manner. Freshmen are in company of a co-sed on the campus.
Y. M. C. A. Installation Banquet Will Be Tonight
"Freshmen are warned to conduct themselves in a meek and unassuming manner," Chancellor Frank Strong said that he was not opposed to the rules adopted but he believed that the student would be sitting at the matter from the wrong end.
Taylor Judges Music Team
Howard Taylor, a member of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts judged the piano events at the University of Texas; he also held the state music contest held there, Mr. Taylor spent a few hours in Tulsa on his way to Norman renewed old acquaintances and friendships which he made while he was professor of music to the Tulsa University a few years ago.
The freshmen accepted the verdict without a murmur and on October 15 the little green caps with red buttons appeared as ordained by the council.
"Some of the rules serve for persecution and I do not think those parts can be enforced," he announced. "Of course it must be understood that this will not happen to men, and the University cannot allow my roadway on the campus."
This spring will be the first year in which the freshmen will wear their caps in the spring, as before the prac-
cessors begin to compete in the Thanksgiving football game.
