PRACTICAL PHYSIOLOGY.
Course of Study in Sanitation and Hygiene.
One of the new courses at the University that is attracting considerable attention is the course in "Practical Physiology," under the direction of Dr. Hyde. The first half term the general structure of the human body is taken up. In the last part of the term this knowledge is applied to the study of sanitation and hygiene. The purpose of the course is to improve the home and social conditions. The most striking feature of the course is the fact that over one-half of the class of forty is made up of men.
The practical side of the work will consist in the investigation of the source and the supply of water, the nutritive and economic value of foods, the scientific study of ventilation, heating, removal of garbage and the preparation and protection of food. In carrying out this program the class will visit the dairy farm at Haskell and the Bowersock flour mill and report on what they find. Special lectures are also given on subjects of vital interest.

SUBSTITUTES WILL BE USED
KENNEDY TO LET SOME OF THE MEN REST.
Johnson, Bond and Brownlee Will Not Play Saturday's Game—Team Improving.
When the Jayhawkers meet Washington University on Me. Cook field Saturday, the K. U. team will be somewhat shaken up. There will be practically only one change in the line-up, that of shifting Caldwell from end to tackle, but perhaps at least three of the star players of the Jayhawker team will be kept out of the game. They are Johnson, Bond and Brownlee. All three men have done such excel-net work and because of the hard knocks which they have received in the past several games Kennedy has thought best to keep them out of the game Saturday in order to give them a chance to get in form for the coming hard contests of the schedule. Heil will go in at quarterback for Johnson and either Lee Lennox or Abernathy will probably play Bond's position. Ford or Ammons will go in for Brown lee.
The Jayhawkers during the first of the week have been doing some excellent practice work. "There has been the biggest change in the team during the week that I have even seen in the same length of time," said Coach Kennedy, this morning. "All of the men are getting down to real work and the Jayhawkers of the future will look different and play different from the Jayhawkers of the past.
"I think there is no doubt but that we will be able to take the game without any trouble, but the contest is not going to be a tame affair. Washington always comes down here pointed for us and the result is that we have to put up a pretty stiff game in or der to carry off the long end of the score."
The usual secret practice has been the order of work for the squad this week and Kennedy and Mosse have been spending more time with the men than at any previous time this season. Each man has been given individual training and this fact, together with the fact that the men are now on training table diet, should go far in making the team greater than ever.
Held Final Tryout.
The Thespian Dramatic club held its final tryout last evening in Fraser Hall under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown of Kansas City. From fifty students, who had been selected from two preliminary tryouts, will be selected the cast of the fall play, which has not yet been announced. The names of the successful ones will be given out later this week.
PLAN ENTERTAINMENTS
Women's Student Government Association Is Active.
The Women's Student Government association of the University has completed definite plans for the closer association and intercourse of the women of the University. The student resident section has been divided into twelve districts, each of these presided over by a district chairman, who has been elected by her district. Meetings are held two or three times each month in the several districts, and many interesting things have been planned for social entertainment. One district is to have a tea on three afternoons a month, two others have organized basket ball teams, and in others walking clubs and nutting parties are planned. Miss Carrie Watson wil entertain the girls in the district in which she lives with a popeorn contest.
About once in six weeks several districts will be the guests of the remaining ones at large parties in the nature of dances or "stunt" parties at the gymnasium.
The girls through whom these plans are being carried out are the district chairmen, who are Lois Stephens, Rebecca Passon Ruth Hodgson, Effie Steven, Hannah Mitehell, Millicent Noftger, Edith Willis, Ann Williams Gail Gossett, Judith Connelly and Anne Dechman.
A card catalogue showing the roster of young women of the University according to their several districts will be completed in a short time.
NEW SCOOP MEMBERS.
Newspaper Society Admits Six New Men.
At its first meeting for the year, at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, Tuesday evening, the Scoop club elected Homer Berger, Ralph Spotts, Clifford Cole, Earl Fischer, Clark Wallace and John Lovett to membership. Roy Moore and Theodore Alford, of the class of 1907, who are now with the Kansas City Journal were elected to honorary membership.
The members of the club are planning to hold an informal "spread" in Kansas City soon when the old members of the club will meet for a reunion and to get acquainted with the new members.
The president of DePauw University warns the various matrons and chaperons of the sorority houses and dormitories that unless the girls cease breaking the rules regarding men's company Sunday evenings he will remove the privilege the men now have of escorting the co-eds to church. He threatens drastic action unless the rules are complied with.
The Sigma Chis will hold initiation Saturday night.
DYCHE TO CLIMB MT. McKINLEY
HIS SERVICES HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO DR. COOK.
Will Also Make Collection of Alaskan Animals on Trip for University Museum.
After conferring with Professor Dyche, Chancellor Strong yesterday wired to Dr. F. A. Cook, at New York city, the following telegram:
"The University of Kansas offers the services of Professor L. L. Dyche, the scientist, hunter and explorer, for an expedition to Mt. McKinley."
In the year of 1896 Professor Dyche hunted in the region south of Mt. McKinley and though he made no attempt to climb the dangerous mountain, he is thoroughly familiar with the territory surrounding the mountain and would make a very valuable companion for Dr. Cook in his search for the records which he claims to have left there.
"I have known Dr. Cook many years—have been entertained by him and am personally acquainted with him," said Professor Dyche. "I have not a solitary reason to doubt him. If he isn't straight I would be very much surprised."
In re gard to the proposed trip, Chancellor Strong says it is to be for scientific purposes and to help straighten out the controversy concerning Dr. Cook's records. Professor Dyche would plan to get fauna of the Mt. McKinley region to add to the university collection. He does not think he could get to Mt. McKinley before spring, as it is now too late for a successful fall trip.
WILL DISCUSS PAINT.
Kansas City Chemists Will Meet Here Saturday.
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical society will hold its first meeting since the summer vacation, in the Chemistry building, on Saturday. Mr L. S. Hughes, of the Picher Lead Co., Joplin, Mo., will read a paper on "Paint Pigments" at the afternoon meeting, which will be held in Lecture Room A, at 4 o'clock. The evening meeting at the Eldridge House, will be devoted to a discussion of this paper.
Mr. Hughes is said to be the leading expert on this subject in the country.
