Power Plant Produces Cozy Classrooms
"Brrr, it's cold! And where the dickens is the sun?" You've probably voiced that same thought this past week as you plodded in a heavy coat through semi-darkness to a warm, well-lighted 8:30 classroom.
Perhaps you take those warm classrooms as a matter of course, but the men who run the University and the Kansas Power and Light Company turbines do not.
Just so that you can be comfortable in your classroom, electricity and steam heat both have come a long way. The University's power plant has to make a lot of adjustments every time the sun fails to shine, or every time a cold wave hits unexpectedly.
Two steam turbines, each capable of generating 1,250 kilowatts, are in the Hill's power plant, and these turn out enough power to take care of about half of the University's demand. In the summer months, when the demand is light and the turbines are virtually at a standstill, the Kansas Power and Light Company provides the electricity. Three Power Plants
That's a simple phrase, "provides the electricity," but it takes three mammoth power plants to get that electricity here. Plants at Lawrence, Leavenworth, and Emporia pool all their output into a "power pool" west of Lawrence from which it is dispatched to some 60 cities all over this part of the state.
During the winter months, when buildings have to be heated and a high head of steam must be maintained, the University's turbines take over the bulk of the load.
Steam heat for the school-owned buildings on the Hill is provided six huge boilers, powered by oil, gas, or coal. After running through the turbines, the steam goes through a complicated maze of tunnels to each of the radiators in the school systems.
This year, University power plant officials say that the electricity and steam heat demand will be even higher than in past years because the new mineral industries building will have a lot of electric-powered equipment.
University Students In Special Fields May Continue Study
Students of engineering, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, and medicine probably will be allowed to continue their education after this spring. J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, said today.
Dean Jokosky returned this morning from a meeting last week in Chicago of the dean's of the schools of engineering and the selective service board headed by General Louis B. Hershey where indefinite plans for such a curricula were discussed.
Ertl To Tell Engineers Of Bolivian Experiences
Members of the University chapter of AIME, American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, will meet in room 208, Haworth hall, at 4:30. Thursday afternoon.
Prof. Tell Ertl will speak 'on his experiences in conjunction with Bo-livian tin. While in Bolivia, Professor Ertl spent some time in studying the extraction of tin from ore.
Fall Jayhawker Available Now
Copies of the "Jayhawker," official University magazine, will be available at the Student Book Exchange in the Union building every afternoon this week from 1:30 to 5 o'clock. Jayhawker staff members said today.
Those who have not yet subscribed still may buy the magazine. The Jayhawker, issued in five sections, is sold for $3.25 for the five issues with a heavy binding adding another dollar to the cost.
The fall number of the Jayhawker contains registration, enrollment, and beginning of class and activity news, pictures of pledge classes, and features on school personalities and events.
The next issue of the Jayhawker will be distributed about Dec. 10, Editor Spencer Burtis said. It will be devoted to the women's side of the University and will contain complete sorority and organized houses pictures and stories on women's organizations, leaders, and activities.
Fifth Division Beqins Training
Two hundred trainees of the Naval Training school for machinists' training began classes yesterday morning in a 16-week course which will qualify them as competent firemen or machinist mates below deck on ships.
The new group are the fifth division to arrive at the University, most of them from the middle-west states in the Ninth Naval district.
By mathematics screen tests, the men are divided into five platoons. The platoons are divided into sections containing twenty men. The classes are on a twenty-four hour basis, taught by University instructors.
Although the trainees are given liberty within a 75-mile radius Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the new division were restricted to the city limits last weekend. Their attendance at the dance in the community building Saturday night was the largest attendance the service men's dance has had. Thirty University women from the Co-ed Volunteer Corps attended through the sponsorship of the AAUW.
Saturday morning, sororities were entertained by serenades when the sailors marched around the campus during inspection of quarters.
Scrapping an 118-year old tradition, Rensselaer Poly of Troy, N.Y. will admit women next January for training to replace men in war jobs.
Women Will Get War Training
Eight fighter and bomber pilots, who were former students of the University, today are being awarded the silver wings of full fledged airmen at seven schools in the Gulf Coast Army Air Forces Training Center.
Former Students Awarded Wings
The new pilots from the University are Staff Sgt. Eugene G. Brink, Basehor; Lieut. Ernest J. Buckles, Garrett; Lieut. Robert P. Hagen, Lawrence; Lieut. William L. Haile, Baxter Springs; Lieut. Raymond E. Hartley, Jr., Kansas City, Mo.; Lieut. John L. Kindlesparger, Salina; Lieut. Dale W. Luehring, Leavenworth; and Lieut. Wayne C. Steele, Jennings.
MID-SEMESTER---the activities of the Fighting French. Richard Strawn, vice-president and program chairman, will take charge of the meeting.
(continued from page two) bodies to a chair and drop it unceremoniously to the seat (these are usually the ones feeling the effects of an all - night - half - semester - course). Some come to the class room door, look about them, rub their eyes, step cautiously across the threshold, stop, ask if the executioner is present, find that he is not, bolt for the door, only to nearly crush one professor entering the room, struggle into a seat, and look bored the remainder of the period (these are usually the ones that spent a studious evening the night before and have anxiously awaited this morning after).
The professor enters with a bustle of his well-groomed body. He carries the year's output of the Pulp Paper company. He distributes it evenly among the members of the class (he is the only one that knows whv).
Paper Company Thrives
The students take out their pencils and coins. Some look at the pencils. A few look at the questions. They all watch the clock or the path of the sun across the window. An hour passes and the professor collects the volumes of literature (an unbelievable amount has been written during this hour of charm).
A week passes and the professor returns the examinations. The students look at them. Some go home and tell their landladies that they will be around to haunt her a while longer. The others can be found at the railroad station.

Saturday night. Account to student chatter, they did a good job of it. The Choir usually sings for faculty and inter-fraternity banquets, and last year it was featured at varities.
Every Christmas the Choir serenades the faculty homes with Carols
Male Voices Scarce
MODERN CHOIR---the activities of the Fighting French. Richard Strawn, vice-president and program chairman, will take charge of the meeting.
Director Jones predicts that the Choir will be functioning next year, even if it is nothing more than a women's glee club. A music major in the School of Education, Jones expects to be able to finish the year and then appoint someone to succeed him as director-arranger. This year it was more difficult to get men singers, he said. The voices were as good as ever but not so numerous.
The Choir has no connection with the University. For over three years it has run on its own steam or more appropriately, on its "hot airs". Sophisticated, melodic, rich, the Modern Choir represents the best in the singing of modern music in the modern manner.
NewProject ★★★ Women Darn Sailor's Socks
Two new projects will be undertaken by the Bundles for America organization during the coming weeks, one of which will benefit the sailors in training here at the University.
Women volunteers will mend and darn for the sailors on certain afternoons each week. Lieut. Buhl, ship's captain at the training school, said, "The need for such repair work presents a real problem to the five hundred sailors now stationed at the University, and the help of the women will be greatly appreciated." The other drive will be the salvage of silk stockings to be used in making parachutes and fur pieces for lining service men's vests.
Mrs. Henry Werner is chairman of the Lawrence organization replacing Mrs. Frederick J. Moreau, resigning chairman.
Reports at the Bundles for America meeting included one by Mrs. Werner on the day nursery project, of which the Bundles is a voluntary sponsor. Mrs. Waldemar Geltch also gave a report on the bond sales campaign which will be continued by the organization through Dec. 14.
