Palkowk gave a performance with high tension electricity. Among the tricks he did was to take 200,000 volts of electricity through his body by means of a spoon held between his teeth.
Separate Division Controlled by Education Faculty and Senate Committee is Plan
Proposed Organization Would Make it Possible to Major in Gymnasium Subjects
Suggests Four Departments
A department of physical education and health not directly under the supervision of the College of Liberal Arts is the plan which has been advanced by Dr. Alice Goetz of the present department of physical education.
Doctor Goetz has sent her plans to the members of the Senate committee which was appointed for the revising of the University constitution, in the hope that this committee will consider the revision of the physical education department when they draw up the new constitution.
Doctor Goetz favors grouping all courses that have bearing along the lines of physical education or health under one division so that students may major in this line of work the same as in any other department of the College. She also thinks that credit should be given for physical exercise as in any other laboratory course; that is, one hour's credit for two hours' time spent in class. This would eliminate much of the opposition that the women now have for the exercise because they do not feel that they can spend the time in the work when they do not get any credit for it.
A division with some such title as the "Division of Education and Health," to be governed by a committee of the deans of the various schools and the faculty of the department of physical education, is Doctor Goetz' tentative plan for the reorganization of the department; these four departments: a department of health supervision, a department of physical education for women and one for men, and a department of hygiene and health education.
Dr. Goetz offers the following suggestions for credits and requirements, that the deans of the various schools, advise a certain minimum of work in physical education for graduation, that three hours credit in personal, social, or community hygiene be also required, that all courses in physical education are taught as classes as well as give credit the same other dmc courses. This would make it possible for a major in physical education and health administration.
The department of health supervision would consist of physical examinations and general medical attention; the physical education department, of the exercise classes, sports and classes in the principles of physical education and hygiene; the public health administration department would include study in the principles of physical activity, social, and community hygiene, home nursing first aid, and administration of health work in public schools.
Eighty Returned Men Receive College Credit
(Continued on page 2)
One Hour for Each Month and Five Hours for Commission is. Given
Eighty sailors and soldiers who have returned from the service have been given credit in the college for the work that they missed during the time they were in the army or navy. The amount of credit given to each man is based upon the length of time that he was in service. The credits that have been received are the net earnings students range from two to fifteen hours credit.
is Given
"The college has taken this action of giving the returned men credit for the work they missed because we feel that they deserve some credit for the time they spent in the service of their country, said Dean Olin Templin. We are allowing the men who were granted the training because of the intensive training and study the candidates for officers were required to take."

Cajucum Files Complaint Against Three K.U. Mer
As a result of the nazing of Jose Cajucum last Saturday night, for not wearing the freshman cap, Cajucum has filed complaint with the county attorney for the arrest of Wallace Shaw and Otto E. Hopfer on the charge of three felonies, mayhem, assault with intent to maim, and robery. All three are penitentiary offenses. Cajucum swears that he recognized Shaw and Hopfer as two of the five by whom the hazing is said to have been done.

The electrical engineering students have a way all their own to keep persons off of the campus in front of Marvin Hall. A wire stretched around the lawn is grounded and connected with a spark coil in the basement of the engineering building. A passerby touches the wire: Prestoal's shock. The wire, which is connected to Law is said to have jumped four feet the other day as he was on the way to his home in University Heights and accidentally touched the wire.
It might be said that the telephone girls at K. U. are really the only students who are following a calling.

Kansas Has Opportunity To Rise Commercially
Merchant Marine and Foreign Trade and National Interest Responsible, Says Walker
Col P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, who has recently returned after two years in the army, believes that Kansas now has an opportunity to get a hold in the industrial world. The expansion of the American foreign trade through the American maritime marine and the national interest in world commerce will make this possible.
"Markets are more extended than ever before and as soon as our largest augmented merchant marine is free of special war work the carrying facilities of the nation will be better than ever before. All these things will operate to take more products from the Atlantic coast and leave Kansas freer to build up industrially," said Dean Walker.
He thinks Kansas industry can be built up by the manufacture of corn products, of paper and its products, of leather products, by increasing the canning and preserving industry. The relative decrease in the cost of labor in the United States as compared with Europe makes these fields profitable.
"Now is the opportunity for men of vision in industry," said Colonel Walker. "The inherent needs and local conditions of each industry needs to be carefully studied."
