Committee Makes Survey of Living Conditions on Hill
Rooms Ranked According to Desirability; Permanent File of Information to Be Made
An investigation of roaming conditions of University students which those who have made the survey expect to result in a higher standard of rooms has been recently completed by a faculty member of the University Senate under the direction of Dr. P. O'Brien, professor of education.
A standard information card concerning the price, lighting, ventilation, and sanitation of each room open to students by which rooms will be ranked in one of four definite classes has been designed by Dr. O'Brien from the data gathered during the investigation. These cards will be filed where they will be available to the student, who is seeking information about them. The file will be made permanent and will be revised continually.
Rooms will be ranked A, B, C, or D, in a decreasing order of desirability, according to a definite standard worked out by Dr. Obrein. This information will be available to the students of rooms as well as to the students.
Hope for Improvement
**hope her improve herself.**
"It is the hope of the committee," said Dr. OBrien while discussing the results. "I think that the proprietors of rooms which students may rent will await themselves to this opportunity to find how their rooms rank, and to improve conditions where, it may be necessary."
Although the primary purpose of the investigation was to secure information from which a standard could be derived, certain very interesting facts concerning conditions under which light, according to Dr. Orien,
Three kinds of comparisons were made possible. First, the compari-
sions of conditions with recognized health problems, heating, ventilation, and sanitation, and so forth. Second, a comparison of the ratings beaglen rooms for men and for women. Third, a comparison of organization and non-organization houses.
The extent of the investigation, which has taken two years to complete, may be seen from the following facts. A total of rooms for 2,148 students—1,267 for men and 851 for women—in 276 houses were tailored Of this number 572 man and woman were living in organized houses.
An analysis of prices charged for room rent showed that a medium price was $10 a month for both men women in organization houses, and $15 per person for men and $12 for women. Only 2 per cent of the students in organization houses paid in excess of $14 a month, while in non-organization houses 56 per cent paid over that amount. A similar situation may be due in part to this fact that in organization houses a smaller percent occupy rooms alone. In these houses, however, there are more sleeping porches, trunk closets, and other facilities which include number which might comfortably occupy one room.
The investigation of the amount of illumination was carried out for both natural and artificial light. An instrument was used which accurately measured the amount of light to be placed where the student would do his study.
Natural Lighting Deficient
The standard for studying purposes is six foot candles, an amount which 86 per cent of the non-organization and 66 per cent of the organization houses were deficient in. It is the need for a artificial light at the non-organization excelled, he the position of the light and a free dom from glare were frequently feasible.
"The University," said Dr. OBrien, "is interested in the subject of whether its students study at the library because they are compelled to by poor illumination in their rooms. Until now the possibility of inferior work because of eye strain has not been considered.
"It appeared significant that in a "number of both men's and women's houses toilet provisions were not satisfactorily sanitary. Practically half of the organization houses were vacuum cleaned while very few people used them."*
The investigation, according to Dr. O'Drien, should result in a more favorable attitude toward the University by the parents of the students. To know that the roaming conditions of the students are under the constant care of the faculty is important, it is perfectly aware of the type of room he is renting should have a definite effect on the enrollment.

University Orchestra to Appear in Concert Sometime in Januar
More Instruments Are Needed According to Professor Karl Andrist
A concert is being planned for sometime in January at which time Prof. Karl Andrisk hopes to give the "Symphony of Beethoven" and "Dance Macabre" of Saint-Saens, in a concert in Dublin, a soloist who will be announced later.
Soon after the concert is presented, work will begin on "The Messiah" of Handel, and the "Requiem" of Verdi. The orchestra will accompany the Lawrence Choral Union at the spring festival in these two works.
"The 'Requient' is very difficult and it will be a great step forward if the orchestra is able to give a thoroughly finished performance," she wrote. "Many rehearsals are needed to put the chestron on the plane it should be."
At the present time one trombone, one drummer (to supplement the ones already there) and more string basses are needed to make the orchestra. All students must be present at the hearsal and should on time so that the practices may begin promptly.
"The K, U, Orchestra is as important as any activity on the HELL. I believe that Kansas can have one of the finest symphony orchestras in the country if the students who can play the various instruments needed will respond with their time and talent," concluded Mr. Andrist.

Red Color Most Easily Seen; Green Comes Nex
Washington, Nov. 4- Red, the traditional danger signal, keeps its lead as the most easily distinguished from other colors at a distance in the tests for the visibility of traffic signals by the National Bureau of Standards.
The tests were made under daylight conditions, under which the identification of colored lights is particularly difficult. Several thousand tests were made with different observers. The average showed that a red light of 75 candelight power could be identified at a distance of 600 feet, while a green light had to be 230 candelight power. A blue light had to be a bluest light. The observations were made at distances of 600, 900, and 1,250 feet. At 1,250 feet the candlepower required was 1500, 2500, 3000, and 7500 respectively.
Grown come second on the list of lights easy to identify while blue ranked third. The ordinary yellow lights were often mistaken for orange or red, and a lemon yellow gave better results.

Sportsmen Organize to Plan Increase of State Fish Reserve
Enactment of Proposed Law Would Create Committee to Buy Land
Sportmen throughout Kansas want the next legislature to enact a law creating a bipartisan committee to buy ground and speed fish and game license fees to make Kansas better for recreation by increasing the water area, according to a statement B. Dose, state fish and game warden
Sportmen are organizing all over the state following the state meeting at Salina, Oct. 20. Plans were made here to use fish and game licenses fees to purchase suitable lands and create huge game refuges and fishing lakes. Kansas needs more water area. There are 350 *square miles* needed to put Kansas on a pur with Nebraska or Oklahoma.
All the present activities of the fish and game department such as buying of game birds, establishment of branch fish hatcheries and enfoment of fish and game laws, are taken care of by the fish and game office of the fund to take them on the fund by the leqixture in addition to the regular ten per cent of the collection each year, according to the report.
The following story taken from the Drake Bulldog is an evidence of their confidence in defeating the bewhisk kered Jawhawk:
"It's a Lengthy Face That Has no Shaving
"Kansas is so riled up over her defenses this season, according to a recent article in their university daily, the Kansan, that the students have sworn no man shall shave until Kansas wins a victory. The penalty is a paddle line extending from one end of their campu at the nearest hospital. Judging from the secures so far from Saturday—it looks like a nighttikle winter for the Kansas Co-eds."
