Taller,But Thinner Is Trend of Woman Students on Hill According to New Statistics
Women in the University are growing taller, but they are a trifle thinner than they normally should be, according to statistics of age, weight and height of the 268 freshmen women students which have been compiled by Miss Riva Cliff, instructor in physical education.
These statistics show that the average age of the new class is 18 years, 8 months; the average weight, 110 pounds; the average height, 5 feet, 4 and 6-10 inches.
Not many years ago the average height of college women in America was 5 feet, 3 inches, according to Miss Cliff, so the women students of the University are more than air inch and a half above the old standard.
At the average age and height of the freshmen women the weight should be 125 pounds, according to the height and weight tables of Wood and Baldwin, which show that the University women are seven pounds un-
Skilton Compositions Played by Harmati's Orchestra at Omah;
Kansas Musician Is Honored
At Noon Banquet; Speaks
to 3,600 Children
An orthorhythmica reception was given Prof. C, S. Skilton in Omana last week when he attended the performance of his "Indian Dances" by the new orchestra under the direction of Sando Harnawi, the young Hungarian conductor. The new oboe went to Omana at the invitation of the Omnia Symphony Orchestra.
Four thousand school children of the city listened to Professor Skilton's address on "Indian Music" delivered Tuesday morning in the city auditorium. At the request of the conductor of the orchestra, Professor Skilton played his own Indian drum at the performance of his numbers by the orchestra.
A banquet at the Hotel Fontenelle was given in his honor Tuesday noon. The following noon Professor Skilton was speaker at the meeting of the Rotary club and later in the day he addressed the Fine Arts Association. An audience of 5000 people gave a ceremonial reception to his competitions and to his "thundering Dancer" were played at the second symphony concert.
Sigrid Onegin's Name
Is Often Mispronounced
Omein will deliver her second concert to Lawrence audiences, having appeared here two years ago.
Popular names are mispronounced in many ways. Some amuse the person miscalled. This is particularly true of Sigirged Oignel. Her name has commonly been pronounced "One Gin." This mispronunciation has amused the great contritio very much. There is the "Flamingo" way of saying so—"One Gin!" The Liberian version is Oignel. The correct pronunciation is Russian.
Other visitors who were in Omaha at the imitation of the orchestra were James Stephens, the Irish poet, and Rihya Mgran, the tenor.
doughed. Prevailing *Slimness* of figure is probably the reason for this lack of weight rather than under nourishment, according to Miss Cliff.
"The contrato voice," said Dean Swearthet, "is usually a disappointing one when compared with the soprano. It does not have the smoothness and the appeal of the soprano and it lacks the dramatic intensity. But Ongein encounters because she has a personality interests and holds her audience."
Seven of the fourteen songs of the program will be sang in English. Ongoing requests that translations of the songs to be sung in French, Italian and Germany be printed on the program.
Many have requested that she sing Schubert's "The Erl King," which she sang two years ago.
The women of the freshmen class range in age from 14 to 25. Seventy-two women are from 29 to 25 years old, seven years old, 71 years old, 17 are 17, and 22 are 16.
Balthway's comet, discovered by an astronomer in Johannesburg South Africa, has been observed by Calif. Observatory at M. Hamilton, Calif.
Ogeinne is primarily a concert singer though she has appeared with success in the opera. She has devoted most of her time to concert奏声, singing for orchestras in Austria, Russia and Scandinavia. Scandinavia is her homeland.
That hardiness of water causes a great economic waste is shown by investigations conducted by the state water survey of Illinois in attempting to find a means, harmless, efficient means of softening water.
Mildred Cutter, A. B.'25, who has been working in Hutchinson, is at home in Lawrence.
In the 20 to 25-year-old group, the average height is 6 feet, 6 inches, and the average weight 125 pounds, which is about five pounds below normal.
The shortest freshman woman is 16 feet, three inches. The shortest female is 5 feet, 10 inches. There are five women students who measure 5 feet, 9 inches, which is 6 inches taller than the shortest freshman woman.
The smallest freshman woman is 18 years old, is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 87 pounds; the heaviest is 18 years old, is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 90 pounds. Statistics for the upper class in the University are not available.
