Tunnel Peril Looms For Curious Student
Students exploring steam tunnels under the campus are in extreme danger, Harry M. Buchholtz, superintendent of the physical plant. saves.
Physical plant officials have received reports some KU students have been touring the tunnels re- cently.
"I will not even let our trained steam-fitters go in the tunnels alone." Buchholtz said.

He explained steam tunnel workers hazard dangers such as scalding steam, electrocution, claustrophobia, broken bones from falling down steep inclines, concussion from banging their heads on overhanging obstructions, the terrors of darkness and severe burns from bare areas on steam mains.
"It took six men to get him out of there." Euchholtz said.

Regarding the danger of scalding, Buchholtz said: "You can't get away from 20 pounds of steam. Our pipes carry 150 pounds of steam the year round. Even a bare spot on one of the mains reaches a temperature of 158 degrees, so you can imagine what a broken steam line would do."
BUCHELOTZ SAID several years ago a contractor's employee got lost in one of the utility tunnels when the light power failed. The man suffered claustrophobia.
He described the tunnels as having steep and unexpected inclines and drop-offs. High places in the tunnels trap air which becomes so hot a man can barely breathe.
RUNNING THROUGH all the tunnels are power lines carrying 1500 volts of electricity. Gas and water mains are present too, either of which become potentially dangerous if they break or leak.
The steam tunnels radiate from the physical plant and serve all the buildings on campus. High pressure steam is maintained in them all year to serve campus facilities.
Buchholtz said there has been only occasional difficulty keeping students out of the tunnels.

A noted publisher in Chicago reports there is a simple technique for acquiring a powerful memory which can pay you real dividends in both business and social advancement and works like magic to give you added poise, necessary self-confidence and greater popularity.
Why Can't You Remember
According to this publisher, many people do not realize how much they could influence others simply by remembering accurately everything they see, hear, or read. Whether in business, at social functions or even in casual conversations with new acquaintances, there are ways in which you can dominate each situation by your ability to remember.
To acquaint the readers of this paper with the easy-tofollow rules for developing skill in remembering anything you choose to remember, the publishers have printed full details of their self-training method in a new book, "Adventures in Memory," which will be mailed free to anyone who requests it. No obligation. Simply send your request to: Memory Studies, 835 Diverse Parkway, Dept. 3247, Chicago 14, Ill. A postcard will do.
