Navy Announces Jap Ships Sunk By US Subs
Washington, (INS)—The toll of Japanese ships taken by American submarines mounted yesterday with the Navy announcing the destruction of more than 125,000 tons of enemy shipping by 10 United States undersea craft.
The 10 American subs destroyed 125,262 tons of Jap shipping of all types including a submarine and in addition sent to the bottom a heavy cruiser, an armed cargo ship and two medium-sized transports, inflicted damage on vessels totalling 73,500 tons, and probably sunk a second large submarine, a medium-sized cargoship and four troop landing barges.
The enemy vessels which the ships account for are among the 223 Japanese warships and merchant vessels which have been sunk or damaged by American submarines since the beginning of the war.
POWER PLANT---
(continued from page six)
zero weather days, during the peak load of the plant, expenses run up into hundreds of dollars a day.
Mr. Sanderson often wonders if people realize what would happen if, on a 15-below zero day, the plant were shut down for 24 hours. He says that every pipe, refrigerator, and incubator would be frozen or broken, and that over a million dollars worth of damage would be done which would require a year's time to repair.
Third Highest Smokestack
As for the smokestack in back of the plant, its great height—247 feet with a 19-foot diameter on the inside is necessary because of the large size of the boilers. According to Mr. Sanderson, the stack is the third highest in the state of Kansas and the tallest on any college campus in the country.
A length-of-the-days chart is kept in the plant so that every night the campus lights are turned on at a slightly different time than the night store. To conserve electricity as much as possible by taking advantage of the longer period of daylight, the lights are turned on two minutes later each night.
This is the amazing organization and clockwork which actually run our University, capable of producing 1250 kilowatts of electricity. Of the buildings on the campus consuming electricity, Mr. Sanderson says that the Administration building requires the most; but he predicts that when the Mineral Resources building is finally completed, it will require the greatest load from the power plant—750 kilowatts.

Letters to the Editor
TO THE EDITOR:
Tomorrow night the Men's Student Council and Women's Self Governing Association will vote themselves out of existence forever after some thirty years of operation. Their place will be taken by an efficient and more powerful All-Student Council of both men and women. The way in which that Council is to function and is to serve future generations of Jayhawkers depends upon whether it gets the right start now.
I for one believe in student government at K.U. as being something potentially, if not currently, valuable—both for the students and for the University. The new Constitution and new Council attempt to set a new tradition of responsibility as well as of power for student government. But constructing in a time of destruction and confusion is difficult. It needs the support of every student and of the administration!
Last December, when student government was at a low ebb, I wrote the Kansan suggesting "that by spring either there will be no student government or it will have been completely revolutionized and revised—for the better." That the latter course has been carried out is to the credit of the entire student body. That it is truly "for the better" is up to the Council leaders and student body of next year to prove. I think they will!

Bear Thrives on Poison
★★ ★ ★ ★
Um--Strychnine
Elgin, Ill., (INS)—Elgin park authorities decided yesterday to let Lulu live after she not only had survived, but had thrived on, a diet of usually deadly poisons.
In this extremity, Zimmerli appealed again for advice. Give her a terrific dose, he was told. He did that—seven cubes of strychnine, enough to wipe out a small menagerie.
Very simple, said the experts. Just slip her some cyanide of potassium in an apple. She'll never know what hit her. It'll be practically instaneous and it'll be humane.
They tried that. Lulu never batted an eye. They fed her a bigger dose. No effect, except possibly Lulu got a little more vicious.
Lulu, a six-year-old black hibernation at Lords park zoo and cantankerous disposition which she promptly evidenced by trying to bite a chunk out of keeper Paul Petschow's anatomy. Can't Lose Keeper
That did the work. Not that it killed her. It cured her!
Lulu, a six-year-old black bear, came out of her winter hibernation at Lords park zoo in bad health and with an ugly.
Would Kill Her or Cure Her
Then they switched to strychine, mixing two cubes with a delectable combination of popcorn and honey. Ah, that was swell, Lulu indicated as she licked it up greedily.
Her miseries have disappeared.
Her coat is getting glossy again. She is her old sweet self once more.
"We can't have our keeper chewed up, the manpower shortage being what it is," said city officials in effect, if not in those exact words. Park Commissioner John Zimmerli sought advice on the best way to ease the shrewish Lulu out of this troubled world.
