Final Exam Today; Library Open Tonight
Quiz for Flyers 'Just Beginning' Of C.A.A. Course
You'd think that exams every day of the week would be enough, but the aviators want to go the rest of the University one better. When given the choice of taking their final quiz next Wednesday or today, Sunday was elected by a vote that almost was unanimous.
But ironically enough, the final is not the end of the course—it's just the beginning. Students who pass it will go through a week of intensive reviewing in preparation for the government examination given by the department. It is necessary to pass this exam before receiving a pilot's license.
For most of the students the fun is just beginning. Some of them have not been off the ground yet and few have made their solo flights.
In the aviation course the students study about many different kinds of weather and their relation to flying conditions. We've had pretty good examples of all of them this winter", said Howard Henry, one of the course instructors. "That's one advantage of Kansas."
Workmen Attempt To Freeze Lake For Hill Skaters
Down at Potter Lake yesterday eight workers were pumping water through the ice to improve the conditions of the lake for "Final Week" skaters.
The lake was flooded Thursday by running water down a slough from the top of the Hill. This did not prove satisfactory, however, since the water froze before it was spread evenly over the lake.
Yesterday workmen used a gasoline pump to aid them in their work. Water was pumped from beneath the ice and forced it into a fire hose. This is expected to give a smooth surface for skating today.

About one hundred barristers were present at the dinner and meeting in the Windsor room of the Hotel Phillips.
Midnight oil has flashed in frost-cold rooms for a week or more. Small groups gather to "bone" together. Many meet in the kitchen where a pot of coffee is always on the back of the stove.

Term papers, projects, notebooks are rushed at the end of a class period or slipped under the professor's door late that night. Wait. What happened? The professor all the time it's open and students complain that it isn't open enough.

Icy Winds
This isn't a signal to heck your overcourt gz to spend an evening in Memorial Stadium but it might be somewhat cheering to know that winter as the coal companies like it is temporarily past.
It appears that a high pressure area is a bad thing for Kansas right now and the new low pressure area means pleasant weather. Look outside, and if the wind appears to be travelling north and water is dripping off the coast, interpretation is probably correct.
If you can understand the language of weather soothsayers, you'll know what is meant by this technical report. A high pressure system is passing and a low pressure area probably will take its place.
Though prophets last night predicted a white Jan. 28, southly winds are supposed to blow today. How long the snow blanket can hold out against the heat wave has not been indicated but Fourteenth street should be fairly safe by tomorrow.

★ Tunnel Will Carry Utilities From University Shops To New Dormitory; Construction Will Begin When Weather Permits; Still Lack Sufficient Funds For Furnishings
Twenty-five years ago this week America held its breath while the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans were united vocally for the first time by a transcontinental telephone call from New York to San Francisco.
The inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, in New York, reiterated across the country to San Francisco the first words ever heard over a telephone “Mr. Watson.” He told me that he told to the same Thomas A. Watson who had heard these same words in the garret-work-shop in Boston in 1876
At Hutchinson, Feb. 2 has been designated as Kansas University Day with the Reno County Club sponsoring programs in the schools.
President Wilson talked from the White House across the nation, bearing witness to the nation's pride that this vial cord should have been stretched across America as a source of our energy and enterprise."
Plan Heat, Electricity Unit To Connect Brynwood Place And Campus Power Sources
That was a quarter of a century,
ago when such a call cost $20.70
and required half an hour to make
a connection.
One year, 3 months and 12 days after that ceremony another call was made from New York to San Francisco, only this time it was interrupted at Lawrence and the occasion called for a different cast. The conversation ran something like this:
Carruth: "Who's talking?"
"Hello central, W. H. Carruth of San Francisco talking. The K.U. Alumni of the Golden Gate desires to speak to the K.U. Alumni of New York, also to the alumni at Lawrence and Chancellor Frank Strong." Eugene C. Alder, New York: "Hello Professor Carruth."
Carruth: "Who's talking?"
This is Alder. There are 70 of the alumni at our banquet. How (Continued on page three)

Construction of a utility tunnel to connect the recently purchased Brynwood place with University steam and electricity sources will begin as soon as the weather permits, the Chancellor's office announced yesterday.
Deed to the historic Brynwood property was transferred to the Endowment association Wednesday, completing final negotiations for the association's acquisition of the house and its three-acre grounds from Acacia fraternity bondholders, owners of the property.
Use Gift to Buy Furnishings
The property was purchased for 19,052.01 from the bondholders of the fraternity, which bought the property in 1919 and occupied it until 1937. In order to complete the purchase, it was necessary for the association to use part of a $5,000 gift by Robert Bradford, El Dorado, to furnish the home Permission to use the money temporarily for this purpose was granted by Mr. Bradford.
"We are now at work to raise approximately $3,500 still needed to rehabilitate and furnish the property for student occupancy." Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the Enrollment association, said, "We hope our staff will be supportive for more than 10 self-supporting men by next September."
The property will be re-chir-
*nased "Alumni Place" and presented o the University as a seventy-
*nth step by alumn. Step to Meet Need
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, in commending upon the acquisition of the property, said: "In the establishment of this first house for men we are taking a first step in meeting a very serious housing need."
Professor Templin said that occupants of the dormitory would be chosen from applicants on the basis of evidence of superior character and ability, inability to continue as students without such assistance, sufficient resources to meet a share of expenses required by an applicant's spirit of cooperation.
A committee of the student residents subordinated to a faculty committee will manage the dormitory, according to present plans. The committee will be in the house, including maintenance, cleaning, and cooking.
The Endowment association began its drive for funds to purchase the property last spring.
150 Ask for Jobs At N.Y.A. Office
About 150 applications have been received at the N.Y.A. office at the present time for jobs next semester. Of these, 125 are from students who attended the University the fall semester, and 25 are from students who attended other schools or were not in school.
Last year there were about 70 vacancies in N.Y.A. jobs due to students graduating, getting other jobs or failing to meet their scholarship requirement. Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the N.Y.A. office, expects about the same number of vacancies this year, although no definite statement can be made until semester grades are on file.
Successful applicants will be notified of their jobs about Feb. 4 or 5, Miss Tillman said.
