Fear of Losing "That School Girl Complexion" Is Drawback to Women Learning to Swim
Swimming for degrees! Will they make it?
One of the new requirements relating to the department of physical education is that all girls must be able to swim 100 feet before obtaining credit in "gym" courses. And such credit is absolutely essential to a degree.
Special tests in swimming will be given the girls. Those not able to meet the tests will be enrolled in the swimming classes. They will have four years in which to learn. Most girls learn in six weeks, or less, Miss Ruth Hoover, instructor in swimming, said today.
"The entire trouble with girls learning to swim," said Miss Hover, "is that they are afraid to put their feet on the water. If they ever washed their face, that they never washed their face."
Sphinx Reorganized Conforms to Ruling of Student Council
Initiate Twenty New Members into Freshman Honorary Organization
The Sphinx, freshman honorary society has been reorganized to conform to the ruling of the Men's Student Council that all honiorary class organizations shall be under the jurisdiction of the auditing committee if the University. Under this ruling the funds of the society are hand through the university to these organizations, whose duty it is to see that all money is used for the benefit of the entire group instead of its individual members.
In the past the Sphinx society has charged anitation fee of ten dollars. The entire sum was then divided between the members of the preceding year. The Men's Student Council allows class organizations to pay an indication fee of two dollars. However, the Sphinx society after a meeting with a member of the auditing committee, decided to charge an admittance fee of only one dollar. This year the society is starting with 20 new men who were initiated recently. More are to be added until a membership of about 100 is available. Each fraternity on the Hill is to be represented by two men, while the nonfraternity men are allowed four representatives.
Y. W. Freshmen to Meet
dary Sisson Plans Program for Newcomers
(United Press)
The freshmen department of the Y. W, C. A. will hold its first meeting in Myers hall Thursday afternoon at 4:30.
"w want every freshman woman to be present at this first gathering. The women just coming from high school organizations, as the girls' reserve or regular high school associations, I feel sure will be interested in this meeting," Mary Sisson, chairn'd department, said this morning.
The freshmen women who engage in activities during the year will, when sophomores, have charge of the freshman frole, and other parties for the new women of the University.
Marion, Ohio, Sept. 24. -Overwork in behalf of a suitable memorial to his former chief, the late President Harding, was largely responsible for the sudden death of Brig. Gen. Robert S. Dr. Carl Sawyer, said today.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete today.
Practice at home in a basin of water does much to take away this fear of submerging the face."
General Sawyer died yesterday afternoon at White Oaks Fawn where he conducted a large sanitarium, and then took it to the college on a lounge talk with his wife and son after a hard day at the office of the memorial association.
Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, widow of the late President, who has passed away in January since Mr. Harding's death was in the home at the time.
Proper breathing is half the art of swimming, according to Miss Hower. To breathe in through the mouth and out through the nose, or in just the manner opposite to dry land breathing, is correct, she said.
"According to statistics," said Miss Hover, "the majority of those who drown are not the ones in very deep water, but those who, knowing a little swimming, adventure slightly beyond their depth. Ability to swim even another fifteen or twenty feet would have saved many lives."
One instructor, in commenting upon the ruling, smiled warmly: "They didn't have those requirements when I was an undergraduate," she declared. "It took me ten years to learn how to swim!"
Members of the Women's Athletic Association will be the hostesses at a food and fun fete which will feature a variety of attractions tomorrow evening from 6 to 8.

Residents of Threatened Area Still Apprehend Danger of Further Slides
(United Press)
Durcuerni Calif., Sept. 24. The slide which roared down the southern eastern slope of Mount Shanta for a distance of eight miles, has formed a great lake of mud which may burst its barriers and flood the lowlands at any moment, according to word received here today.
Fifteen nerves of volcanic sand slipped from near the top of the peek and blocked the only natural route to the glacier, disintegrating glacier has been reaching the bottom of the mountain. An anurora of pumice dust which accompanied the slide could be seen at a great distance.
Residents of the town near the foot of the mountain, who were about to flee from their homes when a fire broke, still were unprepared today.
Mount Shasta is 14,380 feet in height, one of the highest peaks in the United States. Mount Lassen, located near Mount Shasta during the night, vioce with the glacier of her sister peak, Mount Shasta, for public notice. Indications this morning were that the mountain was larger than any of recent date.
The demonstration started under cover of night and was seen by only one man. As the fire continued, the dying thunder was visible on the eastern horizon and for three-quarter of an hour great streamers of black smoke could be seen over the hill.

The total enrollment of resident students is 2,288. More than one third of that number are freshmen, the first class, numbering 1,355 students, exactly 100 more than had registered at this time last year. Of the 1,355 students in the senior class, are her or less than last year, the figures being sophomore 648, junior 407, senior 340, graduate 142. Only 15 students are in the vocational school, the preparatory branch of the college, while 90 students are in a technical school last year. It was discontinued last spring, only those students who had previously enrolled being permitted to enter this year.
Men Outnumber Women
The grand total of enrollees since June 1 is 3,610. This includes 2,172 men and 1,447 women, duplicates. Of this number 2,172 are men and 1,447 are women.
General science, engineering, and graduates show an increase over last year; agriculture, home economics, and veterinary medicine fall off in enrollee. The total enrollee was 915 at this time last year. The engineering enrollee is 79 as against 746 last year; graduate, 124 as against 115 last year; agriculture, 345 as against 374 last year; home economies, 484 as against 492 last year; agriculture, 50 as against 53 last year.

During this five-year period, there have been decreased in total crow value in three instances since 1999. The average rollment has increased each year.
Attendance Increases Yearly
Cold facts do not support the widely accepted theory that poor crops increase college attendance and good crops reduce it, according to a recent study. F. D. Farrell of the division of agriculture. It is believed by many people that tumper crops or good crops keep young people on farms to help with their income. But more research shows that short crops release them so that they can go to college. Neither do the facts support the contrary theory that good crops or good crops always increase college attendance.
"Figures covering the past 25 years show that with very few exceptions student registration, at least at K. S. A. C., increases grad prosperity, rice and fall," Dean Farrel states.
"You can't brush away sigh with a feather duster. I used to be a ball player and I have learned how to throw stumps at cell. If I had been younger, I would have given many an old cockerel a swing in the Red Cross wress."

Moat Will Transform Into Sloping Plaza
Students when entering or leaving the new Library or even while using the basement reading room may have wondered concerning the most-like lidge of dirt which runs in front of the beautiful structure. No doubt it has by such persons been considered either an obstacle to be mounted to reach the front entrance or an eyesore, or perhaps both. Possibly these opinions are correct, but "every dark cloud has a silver lining."
A few moments' contemplation of the delicately articulate arcade of Watson Library and a few words of explanation will clear the puzzle. Some day Snow hill will be moved, according to present definite ground plan, leaving a large oasis before the Burger Hall and the Priere Library.
This is the picture the superintendent of buildings and grounds, H. H. Ball, deity drew when asked about the pile of dirt. He pointed out that the new sidewalk between Frances and Beverly was raised above the earth level in anticipation of the green-wordex grade of the future.

Plausibility of Memorial to F. D. Coburn Is Raised
What could be more fitting than that the people of Kansas should provide a memorial for the state's former Secretary of Agriculture, the late F. D. Coburn, asks the Colburn Memorial Committee?
For twenty-one years Mr. Coburn served as Secretary of Agriculture in Kansas and during all those years, he never permitted a single expression of discouragement nor discharmment to go forth from his office, and on the other hand, he refrained from under and unwarranted claims.
He did not represent Kannas as the "Garden of Eden", but he convinced people that, with the application of industry, good judgment and patience, the natural resources of Kannas would adequately replace the water contained in a more prosperous people; a greater diversification of crops and in ever expanding area of that matchless crop-alfaflaw. The traveler who today traverses Kannas sees something more than Sunflowers.
