KANSAS AGGIES DID NOT BACK OUT OF BASKETBALL FRAY The statement, appearing in yester days Daily Nebraskan that the Kansas Aggies had backed out of a pair of basketball games that had been sched uled with Nebraska on the latter's floor, was a mistake in view of the facts of the case.

An agreement had been made be tween Manager Reed and Coach Clev tnger that if possible' the Aggies would come up here for a couple of games on the 19th and 20th.

The battle ought to be a real one from start to finish if advance dope can be believed.

GIRLS REPORT ON HEALTHMERVISION COMMITTEE PREPARES PETITION FOR SUBMISSION TO BOARD Quote Statistics to Show Need of Regular Fee Levied Each Semester The petition given below, asking the University regents to impose a regular fee for medical supervision, was read and adopted by the girls' club last night to be presented to the regents at an early meeting. , To the Honorable Chancellor and Members of the Board of Regents, University of Nebraska: Dear Sirs: On October 31, 1916, a mass meeting of the student body of the University of Nebraska was called for the pur pose of ascertaining what the senti ment was regarding health supervision at the University of Nebraska. The women students voiced the need of a department of health supervision and expressed their willingness to have levied upon them a fee such as that levied in universities of a like charac ter, to cover the costs of such a de partment with a resident physician and nurse in charge. By unanimous vote is was resolved that a committee be appointed to make a study of this subject and to take the necessary, steps to bring this matter to your at tention. We, the undersigned members of this committee, therefore, respectfully 8ubm.it for your careful consideration this report In order to ascertain some facts re garding health conditions among the women students a questionnaire, a copy of which is herewith enclosed, was sent to each member of the Girls' Club Council, an organization com- I posed of representatives of each soror ity and rooming house about the Uni versity. These members submitted this questionnaire to each girl by them represented. ' Absence for Illness Three hundred replies were thus re ceived and tabulated. It was found that these three hundred girls were absent on an average of four days per year (the academic year 1915-1918), on account of illness. Each girl con sulted a physician on an average of two times, and paid for such consulta tion $5.50. Sixty percent of this Ill ness was of an acute nature, while 40 per cent was of a chronic nature. It was found that the majority of those 111 remained in their rooms, where they often lacked adequate care and nursing and where tbey were sub jecting their roommates and other I girls of the house to the lnconven I iences and dangers present ' in such cases. Those who went home incurred still greater expenses and loss of time From the study made the inference Is warranted that the same ratio would apply to those from whom it was not possible to obtain a report. If this be true, the 1,988 women stu dents registered in 1915-1916 paid $10,934 for medical services and lost 7,952 days of school work. A reduc tion of this expenditure of time and money would increase the efficiency of the student body. It was further found that many of the large universities have such a de partment of health supervision. Among these are the University of California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr and Columbia. The beneficial results growing out of such health su pervision have been found numerous in these institutions. Benefits of System Irregularities In the attendance of classes where such were due to sick ness have been greatir reduced. It . fartntnted the Isolation of cases J of communicable diseases occurring in boarding houses, and thereby made it possible to more easily control such diseases. Many physical defects' have
