GOLF PROSPECTS IMPROVE
Athletic Board Seems Willing to Help Back the Project
Golf enthusiasts are becoming optimistic, as it is thought probable that the Athletic Board can be induced to put up the $300, half the amount necessary to put the golf links in shape.
Dr. J, M. Naiamith, University physician, said this morning that he thought the proposition was fair enough and that he would add that the proposal would not be willing to contribute this much toward promoting so good a game.
"I cannot say definitely what action the Athletic Board will take on the proposition," said Chancellor Strong, "but the University will make good their plans when come to place the grounds in shape." He believes the scheme is a good one and is quite anxious to see it go through.
see it go through.
With 600 or 700 dollars the course could be kept in good shape for the coming season.
In Kansas it's called "funking" when a student comes to grief due to a lack of adequate preparation, but at Stanford he is simply a "druid". He is guilty of misplacing himself in the navy, and of being "plucked" at Oxford.

At the University of Oklahoma, all the weak minded, in the course of time "blow up." Being "cirched out of school" at the University of California, sounds as if it were originated by their cowboy students. But when it happens, call it what you may, the sensation is all the same.
A handkerchief shower was held for Helen Kelly, of Olathe Saturday afternoon, at the home of her cousin, Harriet Stevenson,'18 College. Only the most intimate of Miss Kelly's friend were present. Miss Kelly has been visiting in Lawrence for the past week.
MUSEUM HAS MODEL MEN
Some are Plaster. Some Bone and Some are Real Meat
Late at night, just a few days ago, a small are light sputtered in a machine in a stuff basement room in the museum. The big man bending over the machine straightened and switched on the lights, as he muttered, "This is actinomycosis and not tuberculosis."
But he did reach for his trusty gun then, or telephone the police, for he was not playing the lead in a detective story, but only doing some photographic work for the hospital at Rosedale. His work that night over microphone machine which takes a picture of an object as much as one twenty-five-thousandth of an inch meant to be suffering from the dread tuberculosis had in reality a disease contracted from cattle.
This microphoto machine is only one small part of the equipment of the medical museum at the University of Kansas. It belongs in the microscopic department which owns about sixty microscopes and several other machines for cutting, mounting and preparing microscopic specimens.
The museum proper in the division of microscopic anatomy is in one room in the basement. Cases containing specimens prepared in gelatin and cases of models are an elaborate and most costly models in the museum. They are a leg, an arm, and a skull with the nerves, blood vessels and the tissues modeled to the minutest detail real bone. The Museum France has an expenditure of about $500, but they are the latest and most efficient teachers of gross anatomy.
Other cases contain models of different parts of the body in every imaginable stage of destruction. That is, some are trunks with all the outer muscles removed, others are short which must be inserted further apart. The most and some are friendless digestive systems proudly labeled "Apparel for the Digestion."
clement others. In another case are brains nicely shaped and colored, or if one has to be scientific, carefully made cross-sections mounted in gelatine. Really a brain colored to a bright pink looks very pretty, but those pieces of meat in the bottom of the case are not attractive.
Considering the material in all parts of the medical laboratories at Lawrence, the investment is not quite four thousand dollars, and it is used every year by forty-odd students. Counting the interest on the investment and the depreciation per cent, we find a layman's guess, only about $8.35 in equipment to give each student his first training in anatomy. Any part that the fees might cover above breakage and so forth is omitted from consideration.
ARE FRESHMEN TALLER?
Gladys Robinson, '18 College, returned Sunday evening from Chanute, where she spent three days visiting her parents. '
Average Proportions of Men Change Each Year
--try. It is obvious that the man anxious to become more perfect physically should study the charts.
Referring to the statement made by the physical director of Colorado College at Colorado Springs that the freshman are becoming taller and lighter in weight, Dr. James Nail Smith said this morning that he could not tell accuracy until he had been working through for a number of years. Dr. Nailsmith is working on the matter at the present time but from his present figures that are not yet complete it would seem that there is no great variation through a number of years through that the average year to year is the largest than might commonly be believed. The figures made in the gym for the year 1912 show the average freshman to be a little over 70 inches, while those for 1914 show a falling off of two and a fraction of what it has been since it is 68.4 inches, an increase of one tenth inch over the preceding year.
Dr. Naismith went on to say that the charts of measurements used in the east would not answer well in the west because of the greater number of men in the east who have received gymnastic training from their boyhood up, resulting in a much greater development of the arms and shoulders than is common in the west. The symmetry chart used by Dr. Naismith in the east had to be modified by him when he came to the University because the men here were weak in the upper extremities and showed an imbalanced overdevelopment in too great height for their weight. The charts have been so arranged that the symmetrical man's line is straight, while the man who is over or underdeveloped in places may see at a glance where he is short and conduct his gymnism so as to remedy this. The figures from an average of the best Kansas men, modified somewhat by the measurements of the gymnasium directors over the country
When Prof. Howard T. Hill, of the department of public speaking, failed to appear this morning for his 8:20 class in advanced oral interpretation class until after 8:40, he found no one present. His students were obeying law that if an professor does not come to class within ten minutes after the regular time, he does not desire their presence for that hour.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sigma Delta Chi 7:30, Sigma Chi house tonight.
Morris Jones, '19 College and William Steadt, '19 Engineer, claim the honor of saving North College from the flames. As they passed by the building on their way to the debate Friday night, they observed a gas stove in a basement room which was burning dangerously high. They broke in and turned it off before anything caught fire.
An Honor?
Expenditures Show "Wearing Out" Ability of Athletes
When a student invests in a "dollar and a quarter" baseball, he feels that he has expended quite a sum. A roll of tape is sufficient to last him through the year. A dozen pairs of socks and five or six shoes will all that amount to invest in. toward the Varsity, or rather, the K U. Athletic Association, buys things in rather large quantities. For instance, during the last year twenty-five football suits were bought. Fifty pairs of football shoes and five football supplies, including materials for kicking, batting, tape was bought. The dozen rolls, sheetings by the hundreds, and stockings by the great numbers.
WHERE THE A. A. FUNDS GO
Thirty pairs of shoes were bought for the basketball men who "passed away" five or six new balls. For the track team fifty pairs of shoes have been supplied and extra rolls of tape laid in.
Twenty dozen baseball balls are knocked out during the season and there is no record of the number of gloves for the men largely have favorites of their own that they have carried with them through the last days of school and school and tennis. In addition, those things there is the running track that must be renewed every two or three years, the turf for the football field, nets for the tennis courts, jerseys, shoulder pads, liment by the dozen bottles, ball laces, inflating pumps, buckets of balls that are too big to mention. From this it will be seen that the purchasing end of athletics is no mean matter.
Mrs. Eustace Brown is confined to her home with tonsilitis. She hopes to be well enough to be at her office Monday.
