PHYSICAL DEFECTS FOUND IN STUDENTS
DR. NAISMITH PREPARES
FORMIDABLE STATISTICS
Would Install Physical Examination in High Schools—Average Height 68 Inches.
Physical examinations of all the students that have entered the department of the College of the University during the last ten years have been conducted and the record has been kept in the filing case of the office at Robinson gymnasium. Dr. James Naismith has recently drawn up a chart of the physical condition of the men who have entered the College of the University this year and sent a copy of this chart to Governor Stubbs. The object of the construction of the chart is to aid in the organization of plans for installing a system of physical examination of the boys in the high schools.
"The condition in which some of the men come to the University from the high schools of the state is deplorable and a system of examinations in the secondary schools would be of material good in helping the students before they come to the University," said Dr. Naismith in speaking of the project.
The following is the chart that has been drawn up after the examination of 300 students that have entered the University this year: Per Cent of Students

The average height of the men in the University that have been examined in the gymnasium is 68 inches; the shortest man in the University measures 60 and 5-10 inches, and the tallest man towers 75 and 6-10 inches.

REGULATE FRESHMEN
Fraternities to Restrain Ambiti
ous Pledges Next Year.
Next year the dramatic organizations in this University will put on their productions without the services of next year's freshmen who are members of the eighth national frabers of the eighth national fraternities.
At the last meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council, the governing body of the fraternities, a motion was moved and carried unanimously to restrict the freshmen next year from taking any part in a play. This year the Greek letter first year men took leading parts in each of the plays given by the three dramatic clubs. In the Masque play there were eight male parts. Five of these were taken by freshmen who are members of fraternities.
The Pan-Hellenic council believes that, by taking the freshmen out of dramatics, more time will be given to study. A plan was discussed and considered favorably in Pan-Hellenic to require all freshmen to complete successfully 75 per cent of the first terms work before they are eligible to be initiated into a fraternity. When this has been acted upon by each of the organizations it will be passed in the council and made a rule to go in to effect next fall.
It was decided that no fraternity shall tamper with another's pledge. If one frat lifts the pledge of another, it is necessary to notify each of the other seven

This Tale of Lads, Ladders and Lassies Proves It.
ROMANCE IS NOT PASSING
In the spring Nature dons fresh new garments and the energetic landlady to prove herself Nature's equal had a fresh new coat of paint put on her house on Ohio street last Saturday. By night the painters had reached the front door and the girl boarders were forced to meet their company at the back door in the evening.
Limeades, nice and fresh at Soxman & Co.
As 10:30 drew nigh the maidens returned slowly; all except two who boldly defied the 10:30 rule and did not reach the house until midnight. But before the porch they halted, aghast. They dared not cross it and they dared not, oh they dared not, confront their landlady at twelve o'clock. "Because," confided one to her swain, "the way she looks at you, when you come in after 10:30 is simply the limit." Before that coat of paint they stood helpless. Should they try the parlor window? "It's painted too," wailed one. "I guess we can't get in tonight."
But just then aid appeared in the form of a stage-whisper from aloft. "Come'round to the side of the house and crawl up the painter's ladder." The girls protested; but fear of the landlady cut off all other ways of entrance. The young men were growing sleepy and warmly seconded the suggestion from above. Finally with many shudders and mild urging the two freshmen slowly mounted the ladder and crawled through the window.
"It was heaps of fun," said one of them, "and awfully romantic, but honestly wasn't it the limit?"

We want every Man in the University of Kansas to sell Efner Fly Traps during the VACATION SEASON
You must have seen these traps last year. That was the first year they were on the market, but they made such a hit that we sold thousands of them and covered the state thoroughly This year the traps are made of steel, as you will note by the accompanying cut, and we are going after the business hard. You can make more money selling these traps than you can at anything else this summer. Write us today and reserve your territory.
