GIVE KEY TO HEALTH
K. U. Experts in Hygienic Tell How to Make Minutes Count for Most
EACH PLAN DIFFERENT
Dr. Goetz, Dr. Naismith, and Prof. Rees Can't Agree
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 25, 1916
Early to bed,
Early to rise.
Makes a Man healthy, wealthy and
That was Pooil Richard's panances, but the royal road to success twists more perplexity. He spent three bad days, at the office, experts in and personal efficiency of for more complicated roles following interviews believing that students are interested in making effort count for as much as possible.
Just what an ideal day's program for a student should be is a subject on which the medical authorities at K. U., disagree, Dr. Alice Goets, Dr. James Naismith, and Prof. M. H.R. Hees, of the department of physiology, each have a different plan.
You can read them over, take your choice, and try one next semester.
Dr. Alice Goetz says: "Give up at 7 o'clock and take a sponge bath. This is essential if you wish a good, clear, healthy complexion. Eat breakfast at 7:45 o'clock. This meal should be something solid, either fruit and some toast, or an egg. Drink a cup of coffee if you like it. Stay on the Hill all morning and walk home and eat a hot lunch. Cold lunches are not good for health, but corn, it helped out in studying. If it could be arranged, the heaviest meal of the day should be at noon. Dinner at night makes one dummy.
"Sometimes during the afternoon, there should be an hour or so for outdoor exercise. Force recreation is not good, but the exercise this hour should be diverting and some kind of a game is preferable. An ideal we would be for chapel then, because it is opening and close at 5 o'clock. Have chapel exercises after five. It seems to be a fitting close for the day to have chapel then, because the student is in a spirit for relaxation and he is ready for a rest of this kind. The attendance might be greater at 5 o'clock too, because students would drop in after classes over, or in between. In the other, they are sleepy and don't feel like going and so they do not make any efforts to get there."
N'T ORIJECT TO LATE HOURS
DOEN'T ORGET TO LATE HOURS
Dr. Eileen A. Foster,
an early supper is best, especially if
it is going to be the heaviest meal.
After this meal study and then to go bed
"But, said Dr. Goetz, "I don't believe in people making such a fuss about students keeping late hours. People have always kept late hours and I haven't heard of any deaths resulting from it. If the student fails to get the required number of hours sleep one night, more than my same student will be up by sleeping on Saturday or Sunday. A perfect day is one without excitement or chatter without purpose."
Dr. James Naismith makes his schedule for an ideal day: "Arise at 7 o'clock to make an eight-thirty class, but at least two days out of the week get up earlier and attend chapel. The student can stay in the classroom if the attends chapel in the morning. Eat breakfast. There is no argument for going without this meal. Tea or coffee are not necessary as a stimulant so early in the morning. Cold baths in the morning are not good for every one. No study should be done in the individual. No studying should be done in the morning. Although the student's mind is fresh, he needs all of this for the work of the day. The first hour subject should be one to induce heat thinking, such as reading a language, and then the following hours should be spent in a laboratory.
"One is tired by this time and the work in a laboratory enables the student to move around more, and less concentration is necessary. This covers the class work for the day if the student is taking 15 hours work. The noon meal should be light and one half hour of active conversation around the table just for a general good time. By 2 o'clock the student should be down to good hard studying until 4:30 o'clock. Four-thirty until 6 o'clock should be designated as universal recreation hour. This recreation should be absolute physical and mental exercise. Outdoor sports should come in here. All classes should close at 4:30 in order to have this recreative hour universal.
Besides sports, it includes taking a bath and dressing for dinner. The heavy meal should be at night. For an hour afterwards, the students should have a free, jolly time. There is nothing better than social recreation at this time. There should be music, but no dancing because it is a
RECREATION AT NIGHT
severe physical activity for this time of day."
Dr. Naismith says the students are losing out in their ability to sit down and converse. "They do not do it often enough. From 8 o'clock on, studying may be finished or correspondence may be missed." Go to bed at 10:30 or 11:30 o'clock.
Prof. M. H. Rees of the department of physiology although not agreeing in every way with the ones mentioned above, shows some good inducements to follow his theory. He tells the students to rise at 6 o'clock and study before breakfast. Eat a substantial breakfast. Have dinner at 3:50 o'clock the afternoon should end at 3:50 o'clock. Have dinner at night and go to bed at 10 o'clock.
YOST VISITS AT K. U
Michigan's Famous Football Coach Sees "The Old Town" Once More
Those old timers who were lucky enough to be around Lawrence in the good old days of 1899 and the first ever-victorian K. U. football team if that year, got a real treat yester-year. He played for the Tigers. Tow blew into town for a flying visit with his old friend, Hugh Blair, a town real estate man.
While refusing to be really interviewed you know, Hurry Up admitted that he has gained considerable success at the University of Michigan in the fifteen years since 1900. You've done it, but you haven't left the greatest team in its history.
As to why he was in Lawrence, well it was just to visit. Mr. Blair and to see the old town again. And then there were those southern Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields, which are said to be well worth looking at. Mr. Blair's Yost expected to see for himself after leaving Lawrence last night.
Yost was one Nebraska coach that Kansas succeeded in getting away from the Cornhuskers and the result of the 990 team justified the experiment.

STUDENTS KEEP UP GAME
AFTER THEIR GRADUATION
Graduates of the University are playing an important part in national and state politics. William E. Borah United States Senator from Idaho and Herbert S. Hadley, ex-governor of Missouri, are talked of as possible presidential candidates in both eastern and western newspapers.
The alumni of K. U. have not limited their activity in state politics to the University, but also in the tannah once rooted for the crimson and blue. Ex-governor Stubbs, R. F. Hohns, a lieutenant governor, both labors are filled by the K. U. men.
Other graduates who have mixed in politics are: William Allen White, the committee member for Kansas in the election of Chas. F. Scott of Iola and Geo. A. Necly of Hutchinson both of whom have held seats in Congress, and Guv Besson of Chas. F. Scott of Iola and fourth and fifth district representatives to Congress. Both were students here. E. C. Little of Kansas City, Kansas, and C. W. Miller of Kansas City are candidates for the nomination from their respective districts.
Asks President to Speak
The University Daily Kansas wired President Wison this afternoon asking that he speak to the students of the University and to the faculty of Lawrence on his visit from Topesa to Kansas City on February 2.
MARY ANTIN TO SPEAK DOING SOLDIER DUTY
Famous Writer, Once Poor Immigrant, Comes to K. U. February 29.
University of Kansas students will be given a treat February 29, when Mary Antin will lecture at a special conventation. Mary Antin is one of the foremost women in literature and journalism today. Her rise from a poor white family to a great girl to her present position is a story that rivals fiction in interest.
Mary Antin was born in Polotzk, Russia in 1881, the daughter of Jewish parents. Her father was a well traveled and thoroughly educated man, but very poor. Her mother had considerable money at home, and she would reverse and sliness soon wiped away what money was left. When Mary was ten years old her father came to America with the aid of the Polish Immigrant Society, and three years later his family joined him in Boston. Circumstances were better but, unlike, but nevertheless Mary came a given a child education along with the other three children in the family'.
WRITES A BOOK BY EMILY.
Six years after she came to America, her parents Americanized. Her first book came out in 1899 when she was still eighteen years old. It was entitled "From Politzkot to Boston." This book caused much comment by teachers and others, and by means of it and other writings she was able to continue her education through a girl's school. The student graduated in the Teacher's College of Columbia University.
While she was in Columbi University she was married to A. ideas W. Grahau, a professor in tl University of New York, in economics and philosophy two years after her marriage. Her most famous work, "The Promised Land," which has been published internationally fame was published 1912. Her most famous lecture, which will probably be the one which she will deliver here is: "They Who Knock at Our Gates." Although much of her literary work in her maiden name
HAS A DOUBLE VIEWPOINT
Her first interest ever since she became a grown woman has been the imminent threat of violence, helped to better the conditions of the immigrants and to make real American citizens out of them. She has become one of the United States' most famous as well as a famous character.
To Mrs. Mary Antin Grahau everything appears in a double light. Every bit of knowledge that she picked up has been looked upon from the foreign and American viewpoint. She came to this country marked by many bumps, obstacles, but eager for more knowledge and susceptible to our ideas. She strove to get everything that was in her reach in an educational way when the great opportunities of this country were opened up to her. She was not satisfied with the public schools, school social settlement schools and then spent what time was left in the public libraries.
HER WORKS ARE WIDELY READ Mary Antin's work has been printed and reprinted in practically all of the larger newspapers and magazines of the whole country. She wrote "Atlantic Monthly," the "Outlook," the "American Magazine," and many others.
Twenty men from the University will attend the state Y. M. C. A convention in Kansas to discuss its connection to a statement by secretary Hugo Wedell, this morning. The following students have already signed up and more will come in in the next week. John Calenne, Rex Miller, L. A. Waltworth, Edward Todd, Benjamin Baltzer, Harry Harlan, Oscar Campbell, Lester Evans E. Price, Carol Hunger, Hugo Wedell, Hemri Herriot, and Richard Gelvin.
Miss Antin is passing through or her way to the Pacific Coast.
The tentative program of the convention was received by Mr. Wedel today and he says that it includes many speakers of national reputation and some of the foremost Y. M. C. A. workers of the country.
TWENTY Y. M. MEN TO
ATTEND K. C CONVENTION
Alfred Hill, alias "Scoop", junior College, announces that he is a candidate for the distinction of being one of two roof hovers around 5.01 or thereabouts at low water-mark. Hill doesn't care to be dogmatical about his stature however as he is too buoyant to enter into the shortest man contest.

Four Former Kansas Men Are Working for the Allied Beligerent Nations
Kansas University is represented in the war zone not only by supplies of food, bandages, and clothes, but by four men who are taking an active part in the war. Harry Swingle, a part of theimore, Harry Berman, Paul Hawthorne are seeing service in connections with some of the armies.
Swingle, who is a brother of Wilbur Swible, fellow in zoology, is at present in this country buying horses and mules for the British army. Swingle served in the cavalry during the Spanish-American war and later was a non-commissioned officer. He also had a non-com in the British army for a time but was later detailed on the purchasing branch of the cavalry.
Fillmore, who attended the University last year, crossed over to England from New 'Orleans on a cattle ship and later enlisted as a lark. In his last letter, which was written in 1895, he问 what he was doing in the army there. Fillmore was a member of the Signor Alba Enslon fraternity.
Harry Waddell, who with Elmer Wible went to Bieriut College in Syria to teach shorty before the war broke out, is at present driving an ambulance out of Paris with the French army. He has had several narrow escapes while driving his car.
Paul Haworth, son of Prof. Erasmus Haworth of the geology department, is located in Egypt in the commissary department of the Australian continent of the British army. He is a longtime wrist during the Dardanelles Campaign and, as the bullet is still lodged in his wrist, he has not allowed to rejoin his company. He is in charge of a commissary store with twelve natives working under him. He writes his father that the national drink in them and then they afford some little trouble. On the day that he wrote his letter he had been obliqued to use the butt of a gun on one of the men, who, when he became conscious, even while going to war. Haworth rather expects to be invalided home within the near future as the surgeons hesitate to operate in that climate.
WILL IT CROSS THE KAW?
17.
Interurban Company Petitions for This Privilege
That interurban question is far from being settled as yet. No definite date has been set for the first regiment of interurban railway, and the tracks are ready as far as the Union Pacific depot in North Lawrence. There is still some question as to whether the interurban railway should be built under construction at the present. If the bridge is not built to accommodate the interurban, passengers for Kansas City, or for intermediate point will board the North Lawrence to board the cars.
The Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western Interurban Company, which is building the line has asked a franchise from the city of Lawrence which will be used to drive from the city in case the company decides to build west to Topeka or salina. The plans for the proposed extension to Topeka are being seri-
If the interurban will not be allowed to cross the bridge the proposed franchise asks for a right of way east of the river. In case it is allowed to cross the bridge two exits to the west one on Sixth street and one on twenty-second street, are being considered.
PROF. RICE ATTENDS IRRIGATION MEETING
Before these options or the franchise as a whole can be accepted they will have to be passed upon by the city commissioners and then twenty days must be allowed in case a petition signed by ten per cent of the people should call for a special election to decide upon the granting of the op-portunity to the franchise at its special meeting today we shall know within twenty days how the town stands on the proposition.
About 130 delegates attended the convention, and nearly every state had a delegate there. Professor Rice was the only delegate from Kansas.
Prof. H. A. Rice of the School of Engineering was appointed a delegate by Governor Arthur Capper to the Railway Training Congress which was held in Washington on January 19, 20, and 21. The purpose of the convention was to discuss the question of national drainage and information, and to secure proper legislation.
ORATORICAL CONTEST ON
PEACE TO BE HELD FRIDAY
The students who will represent the University in the State oratorial contest will be chosen Friday to host a contest to be held in Green Hall Theatre. Six men will speak the contest beginning at 3:30 o'clock "Peace" will be the subject of the conference and officers will be admitted free of charge.
The winner of the local contest will be sent to Topeka on March 14 to participate in the state contest there. The winner of the state contest then represents Kansas in the national competition.

DAYS OF KNIGHTHOOD
ARE WITH US STILI
This is a tale of the Knighthood and brave and of a damascus in distress.
Silently an electric is driven 'past the entrance to the Daily Kansan office by Miss Elizabeth Sullivan, freshman College. She spies the muddy road ahead but it is too late. The cab is stuck, and the midden for a knight, a bold young knight, to rescue her from this sad plight.
"What he! A damsel stuck in the mud?" It is young Lancelot Koester, alias Billy. He advances with sturdy step.
"Have patience," he cries in his strong deep voice, "I will save these."
Calling for assistance to an unknown professor who happened to be passing at that moment, they put the device into their hands and rolled the vehicle out of the mire.
Thus are the golden days of knightly deeds still preserved even at the doors of the materialistic world, the heart of the sanctum of a college newspaper.
PRINCE BROKE A LEG
REGISTRAR EXPECTS OVER

One hundred or more new students are to register in the next few days for work during the second semester, according to the estimate of Registrar Geo. O. Foster. So far, 150 registrants have transcribed of grades has been turned in at the office of the Dean of the College.
A large number of students from other schools are expected the coming semester, and many of these have already registered or written friends here, signifying their intention to be in hand at the appointed time.

QUIZ BOOK PURSUED HIM
This is a Great Story by a Student Crazed by Finals
SOME NEVER HEARD OF WOODROW
(Poor gink, have you read this far? Keep on then, you'll be immune).
Spring, the original and time-honored antidote against common sense, has an a rival—quizzes. Both bring forth an army of human vacuum machines cunningly designed to arouse the emotions and make one see the beauties of life. Thus these effusions classify as perfect, for men have been known to become so emotional over them that they saw their author and straightway killed him with a professor's joke.
But quizzes are of use in the world. Men whose chief intellectual efforts are to increase the University's enrollment and decrease father's roll and mint, have been known to mooch a thought or two before a quiz and keep in intact for several hours. Women who never heard of Woodrow Wilson and whose limit in logic is that one smile means one box of chocolates, have been known to memorize 3,874,845 pages in one night and make a "On" course they had never heard about during their five months in class.
(Aw, come on. Be a sport. What's the use of quitting now?)
And then they are the profs! Dear old encyclopedias! What on earth would a prof do if he never had to grade a quiz book? The answer: Deliver a few musty, moth-eaten, muchchewed lectures in the daytime and teach them how to read the Atlantic Monthly at night. Ain't it a crime, Mabel, the way these young foxes dissipate? But with the quizzes sometimes they have to think. It is enough to make a back cover to read what you have to look under a pretense of knowledge.
(Aw kid, there's only another paraphrase and we've too tall for the pulmonary spine.)
But back, Dobbin, back to that spring proposition. Spring is coming with its goloses and wet feet and love-lorn maids and B.V.D.s. But it might as well not come. The quizzes have been beating its time. There are more plaintive faces emanating sweet emotions than ever produce. Just as many men and women have discovered an unsuspected bond of sympathy and mutual desire this week, as any month of May can produce. Ye-eh, quizzes have spring backed clear off the map, but you might both going to occur together some day. (Water! Water! Stand back! Give him air. Someone's telescoped.)
