NO WORRY OVER HEALTH
Medical Department Reports Everything O.K., Says Chancellor
URGES INOCULATION NOW
Dr. Strong Says Every Student Should Take Typhoid Serum
Health conditions at the University of Kansas are excellent, according to Chancellor Strong, who was interviewed on the subject Saturday morning. He noted that there is a great fear of typhoid, spinal meningitis and similar epidemics which have been causing other educational institutions throughout the country considerably.
"Dr. Crumbine, of the School of Medicine, looks after health conditions," and the Chancellor, "and his department has reported nothing that would indicate anything other than a serious need to start the year. Of course we always have a little typhoid in the fall, but investigation has shown that this is due to the disease having been contracted by students during the summer. The water supply is constantly under inspection by the water analysis department. The same is true of dairies which furnish the milk supply for student boarding houses and restaurants, given whenever there is any danger.
"However, although there are to adverse health conditions at present, I would advise every student who has not already done so, to be in incubated condition and receive a temporaryative can be obtained at the University Hospital, 1300 Louisiana, by application to the medical department. There is no charge. This essential course will benefit many students, insults as failure to take advantage of this opportunity may result in an epidemic at any time. The medical department is prepared to administer the serum to every applicant and prepare an imminentregarding the date of opening."
Chancellor Strong also urges the students to co-operate in every way with the University hospital and reside at the university's regularities to the authorities at once.

SCHEDULE PROFOS LOST
AMONG NEWSPAPER FILES
The large "schedule cards" from which students in the College make up their courses during the annual enrollment came very near being on campus on Monday. The proofs of the schedule were mailed from the office of the state printer on August 26, and were updated each the University two days later.
By some mischance, the proofs became lost among a file of newspapers at the University library, and they were not found until nine days later. The proofs were read and hurried back to the printer on September 6. The printed schedules will arrive in time for enrollment.
THE CALL OF THE JOB
Nearly One-Fourth of Our Students Are Helping Themselves Through K. U.
Students and prospective students who expect to earn all or part of their expenses during the academic year will find ample opportunity for employment in the establishments of Lawrence merchants, manufactures, and professional men. An employer may be required to manage the University Y, M, C, A, where students desiring work may leave applications. Permanent positions for 200 students were obtained in this manner last year, and 400 students were supplied with odd jobs. Statistics based on the activities of the employment burrow, and on a questionnaire issued by the institution, indicate that 65% of the entire student body are earning all or part of their expenses while they attend school.
Although the larger number of working students are men, many women who find it necessary to earn part of their expenses are included in the report. Office work, housework, and positions as library and laboratory assistants are the most popular means of making money among the women.
The men adopt all sorts of methods. They work as janitors, laboratory and library assistants, and some as assistant instructors at the University it supervises. They walk on and wait on tables at restaurants; and some find a good source of income on laundry wagons and paper routes. Store clerks, soda dispensers, newspaper reporters, and printers find jobs in warehouses, cardpossessors, handfawners, and workers at "dodd jobs" also contrive to collect the "little bit more" that helps.
"PUG" DIDN'T GET THE PICTURE
Forrest Record visited relatives in Winfield during vacation and returned early to get his boarding club in shape.
Texan With Rope Interfered.
Pug Ferguson, who will long be remembered on Mount Oread as the young reporter responsible for a thrilling "murder" once perpetrated in the vicinity of Olathe, is the hero of the following yarn, which is reprinted from his account of the experience as published in "Pep," the house organ of the Newspaper Enterprise Association:
Tales of the bold reporter who swipes photos off the parlor walls are favorite with magazine writers. Those who commit scenarios for the movies also have featured the riffing and self-expression album with sorrowing relatives work.
This is the story of the picture a Texas reporter did not get.
On the banks of Bear Creek, in a remote corner of Elliaco, Tex., the wife of a farmer was cruelly beaten and an unknown assailant, July 21, 1915.
When the flash reached the office of the Dallas Dispatch, 22 miles away, I was "shot out" on the story. I rode with the sheriff of Dallas-co, who had been summoned to the scene of the crime, to aid the Ellis-co sheriff in protecting three negroes already arrested.
Automobiles, saddled horses, and rigs of all descriptions filled the farmyard. Two hundred angry men, armed with a small smaller weapon known locally as a "six-gun" stood about in groups, or listened to the coroner's inquest on a side porch. One enthusiast carried a side porch lily roped onto his back.
After "getting the story" I sought
the 16-year-old daughter of the house-
hold.
"Have you a picture of your mother,
we could borrow a few hours?" I asked sympathetically. "We want to put it in the paper."
The girl lifted her tearful face to a large grape sketch on the wall, the neck wrapped in gauze.
Other reporters, being expected, I quickly jerked the sketch loose from its frame. As I searched for a news report, I realized the pleasure, the sobbing dawner smoke.
"Mix White says you-all better not take that picture."
"Miz" White, fat and important as the nearest neighbor, interrupted.
"I told Bessie her new wouldn't want no picture in the paper, young musician."
Vain were protests and promises. And the longer the argument lasted, the fuller the room got of tall silhouette. They fired weapons of various lengths. They looked irritated at not finding the victim they had sought.
As the man with the new half inch rope entered, I handed the sketch to him.
"Did you get pictures?" the managing editor of the Dipatch asked the keyboarder.
I produced a neat sketch of the scene of the murder, with a cross marking "the spot where the body was found."

At Bean Lake, Mo., a summer resort, Bartholow Park were a pretty bathing suit during the terrid months and acted as swimming instructor. He understood that he made no money but he accumulated a nice cot of tan.
Sam Ferguson will return to scho-1 this fall after a year's absence in Atchison. He will continue his medical course this year.
