Lectures on Health Will Be Given Women Students Next Quarter
Exercise to Be Largely Corrective, With Recreative Games
At a meeting of the faculty of physical education for women Tuesday night, Dr. Alice Goetz announced the program of work for the second term The topic for the term will be Health Education. The educational phase of physical education will be emphasized.
Lectures on personal hygiene will be given to all first year students, one hour each week instead of gymnastics work; on Monday to those whose names begin with the letters A to M, on Wednesday to those beginning with M to Z. The class will meet in Room 202 in the gymnasium. No text book is required. The principles of prevention of illness and the care of the health will be taught. Social hygiene will be included in the course.
Physical measurements and lungs test will be made of all students in the gymnasium and all will be able to perform the singing of their pasy- tique and strength.
The type of exercise given will be to a large extent, corrective. Recreative games and swimming will offset the seriousness of the program.
Navy Men Take Final Physical Examinations
Discharge of Section B Begins Tomorrow and Section A Friday
All men of the naval section of the S. A. T, C. were excused from class today to take their final physical examinations before being discharged or released. Examinations began at 8 o'clock this morning in the gymnasium and will probably be finished today.
Examination for Section A will be given Friday and probably will be on Monday.
Physical examinations for Section R of the S. A, T. C, will begin at o'clock Thursday morning. Lieuts. Judson S. Allen, Charles Brown, Clinton D. Collins, Harry Randell, and Finis S. Sadler are conducting the examinations, assisted by non-com-mitted officers and several privates.
Everything will be done to hasten preparations for the demobilization of the S. A, T. C. which cannot be begun until the discharge blanks arrive. All men must be discharged by December 20 and officers by December 21.
Maureen McKernan Wood Lectures to Journalists
The physical examinations are being given to protect the government against false claims for insurance.
"In your newspaper work, remember always to be a reporter and forget you are women," said Maurene McKernan Wood of the Topoca Capital, speaking especially to the women students today. Mrs. Wood was one of the first women to enroll in the department of journalism, and was the first woman to make the Kansas Board.
"If you would be successful," she continued, "you must let the other reporters on the paper know you want no special favors but are willing to work as one of them; be loyal and obedient to the paper.
"My city editor is next to my conscience and I feel that I must obey him in everything," said Mrs. Wood. "The work is hard and you will make your best friends but put your paper first and they will admiure you for it."
She said in conclusion that a newspaper woman has as great an opportunity for good as a social service worker because by means of the newspaper she could call attention to mutual concerns. She is righted as there are many people who are willing to help if their attention is attracted.

Missouri Opposes Regular Schedule
The University of Missouri is opposed to making the regular Missouri Valley Conference basketball schedule for the 1918-19 season according to Professor Manley of that school in a telephone conversation with Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering, who is the acting president of the Conference. The reason is that the schools of the Conference are disorganized and the influenza is still retarding their athletic activities. These conditions, added to the general confusion which will follow the demobilization of the S.A.T.C. seem sufficient to Professor Manley to play without a regular schedule.
Jplift Entertainments Crowd Soldier's Time
"The poor soldier boys who have nothing to do in their spare time! Can't we do something to entertain them?"
That's the constant cry of well meaning Y. M. men, kindhearted professors, and sympathetic women students. So the Y. M. man plans for a lecture on liquid air, the professor arranges to have the men conducted through the museum, and the kind young ladies get to work on a concert 'of semi-classical nature for the soldiers' entertainment.
"What man on this Hill wants to be conducted through the engineering building and the museum or wants to hear a lecture on some physical phenomena, or even be entertained by the uncultivated voices of attractive young women, they demand, if his attendance at these functions is impulsory? Yet all of these things he must suffer because of the kindness and interest of his K U. friends, isn't it a shame?"
"In the meantime, when do we write letters, on sockets or call outs?"
Bombay Fever Appears As "Flu" in Disguise
It seems that the "fu" is no respecer of persons, states, nations, or countries. Now comes word that the epidemic has spread throughout India, and according to Luu B. Bookwalter, graduate student here, formerly teacher in the Ceylon schools, is known there as Bombay fever.
Bombay fever, Spanish influenza,
and good old United States gripe all present the same symptoms of sore throat, pains in the back and legs, and is frequently followed by pneumonia. All schools in India and Ceylon are closed. Many deaths have been reported.

Fossil of Huge Lizard Obtained for Museum
Specimen Unusually Fine Says H. T. Martin, University Creator
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the Department of Paleontology, has just unpacked, and is arranging preparatory to mounting, a very fine specimen of platecarpus icterius, a huge lizard about twenty feet long. The specimen was obtained from the chalk beds of Gove County, Kansas, during the past summer. The exact location was six miles southeast or Gove City. It required eight days to unearth the skeleton, and the clew Mr. Martin had to go on, was a very small fragment which had been washed out of the chalky rocks by rain. In moving the entire specimen from the ground, Mr. Martin says there were probably thirty tons of rock moved. It still is encased in chalk and this will all have to be removed so as to display the giant reptile. It will take at least three months to finish the work of restoration.
To view the heterogeneous mass as it lies on the work bench in the Museum, it is hard to conceive how this material can be fitted together and finally restored to anything like asemblance of even a fossil animal, yet Mr. Martin promises that when finished and mounted it will be one of the finest specimens known to science. The fossil is now on display on the third floor of the Museum.
Do people go to the library in one evening to study or to talk? If there are those who go for the latter reason, is it fair to those who go for the former? For several evenings there has been such a conversation buzz in the back part of the library that study is an utter impossibility. "Thoughtlessness," "frivolity," "youth," call it what you will, talking in the library that some of your students be taken in order that those who go there for study are given the opportunity and necessary quiet...Minnesota Daily.

Because of war conditions the faculty of the Yale Law School has arranged to offer students who are discharged from government service prior to February 6, special opportunities to make up law work. Students may enter at the beginning of the second semester, February 6, or study courses they will take credit for a half year's law study. By studying one and one half summer sessions they can make up the full year's work.
At the University of Missouri any student who has been called into national war service away from the University and who lacks not more than fifteen term-hours of meeting the requirements for graduation, will have his record referred to a committee of the faculty who will determine whether or not to recommend him for a degree.
"Why so sad of countenance?" we kindly queried. "A man should enjoy his occupation so much that he is impelled to whistle at his work."
"In ordinary cases, yes," replied the horse-faced man. "But I am an undertaker."—Kansas City Star.
