Students Try to Create Anti-Hazing Sentiment

that they wished to make it plain that they were not attacking any organization, but that they were protesting in front of a crowd and practiced practice of hazing freshmen.
"We feel that as a means of upholding school traditions paddling is unjustifiable," the committee told the Chancellor, "and if the traditions have not enough intrinsic worth they should go by the board.
"We represent no permanent student organization but a great number of students who are interested in eliminating the practice of paddling."
Maze of Tunnels Beneath Mt. Oread Rivals Catacombs of Ancient Rome
King Minos of ancient Crete built an elaborate system of underground tunnels to house a ferocious beast. The persecuted Christians of Rome took refuge in intricate subterranean caverns called cataecombs. The University of Kansas also has a complicated and widespread series of underground passages, but in them you will meet no terrifying Minotaurs—you will discover no temples of Christian martyrs. There is nothing more startling in the cavernous tunnels of the University than a line of prosaic steam pipes or telephone cables. Under the surface of the summit of Mount Oread there are a mile of heat tunnels. It is hardly possible to go from one building to another without crossing at some point one of the many passages. Through these tunnels run the steam pipes that supply heat from the power plant located on the south slope of the Hill to all the buildings belonging to the University except one.
The main tunnel emerges from the north side of the power plant and runs in a straight line northward. At 150 feet from the power plant two tunnels intersect it, one going westward to supply buildings in that direction as far as the Observatory, while the tunnel to the east supplies buildings as far as Watkins hall. The main tunnel continues northward until it reaches a point directly in front of the Commons, where it bends eastward to reach the Memorial Union building, Green' hall, the museums, and the Chancellor's residence. A small tunnel runs from the Commons to Marvin hall. The only major building that is not connected by a steam tunnel is Corbin hall.
The heat tunnels vary both in distance from the surface and in size. The main tunnel running under the crest of the hill is approximately 30 feet from the surface and is more than seven feet high inside. Other tunnels are less than four feet wide and may only four feet four feet high. They vary in width from five to three feet.
Concrete, brick, or limestone go to make up the walls, floors, and ceilings of the tunnels, the older tunnels being
Phi Sigma Honors Awarded
Charles Gilbert and Robert Brigden
Receive Biological Prizes
Charles Gilbert, gr., and Robert Bridgden, gr., were presented the awards for the most outstanding research papers in taxonomy, and experimental problems in biology, at the annual banquet of Phi Sigma, national honorary biological society, at Wiedemann's last night.
Gilbert, a student in the zoology department, received the prize of $25 for his project in taxonomy, "Some Earthworms New to Kansas," Gilbert discussed the qualities and adaptations of various earthworms to certain fish in Kansas, in an address at the banquet. Bridgen, psychologist, was awarded the $25 prize for his experimental psychology problem, "Spiral Movement." Dr. H. L. Lane presented the awards.
This is the third year that the Phi Sigma awards have been made. In 1932 they were given to James Bates of the department of Botany, and J. O. Nottingham, entomologist. Last year the honors were given to Harold Clark of Lawrence.
A string tric consisting of J. Morley Brandstetter, fa'37, violinist; Corrine Dick, fa'35, cellist; and George Troville, fa'35, pianist, furnished music during the banquet. Guests were Dr. and Mrs. Schoeow, Mrs. Charles Gilbert, and Mrs. Robert Briden.
Students Compose Numbers
The second annual program of original compositions by students in music, and in the junior and senior composition classes, under Laurel Ewerite Anderson and C. S. Skilton will be given Monday, April 14, Administration auditorium at 8 o'clock.
Numbers for string quartet, piano, voice, violin, and chorus will be featured on Monday night's program. This recital will be of special interest because of the fact that all the composing was done by advanced and graduate students.

Francis Charles McKenna, e'28, has accepted a position as chemist for the National Aluminate corporation with headquarters at Allentown, Pa. He was formerly chemist for the Chesapeake and Ohio railways at Huntington, W. Va.
The following students contributed works for the recital: Tom Ryan, George Troville, Mildred Seaman, Mildred DeWeese, Paul Larey, Jeannette Cass, Laurene Grant Piper, and Everett Petter.

built of brick and limestone, and the newer of en-reconstructed concrete. At convenient places, manhooks connect the deeper tunnels with the surface. These may be recognized by the iron covers that protect them.
"We watch the tunnels closely for leaks in the pipes," says Mr. Mortenson, steam filter for the University. "If there is a leak we must go down into the tunnels and fix it."
The tunnels are also utilized by athletes for the purpose of losing weight. They enter the passages, walking or trotting back and forth, and the heat takes off the pounds quickly.
inside the tunnels are three pipes; one carries low pressure steam for room heating, a second carries high pressures for hot water and cooking facilities, and the third carries condensates back to the power plant. All the pipes are insulated to hold in the heat, but temperatures in the tunnels may reach to over 100 degrees in the winter when the heat carried is greater.
Dr. Edward Curtis Franklin, '88, g'92, is professor emeritus at Leland Stanford University. He was recently elected to an honorary membership in the chemical society in London.
The low pressure pipes carry from 8 to 20 pounds of steam according to the severity of the weather. The high pressure lines carry 60 pounds.
Although some parts of the tunnels date back to 1898, there has been comparatively little trouble with them. At a point back of Fowler Shops, the buildings and grounds department recently had to repair and strengthen a tunnel that had been damaged by the downhill creep of the surface soil.
The main tunnel was built by tunneling with pick, shovel, and blasting powder beneath the soil above, as was the one that crosses from Robinson gymnasium to the Administration building. The rest were dug from the surface down.
The tunnels are an important part of the heating system of the University. They were built carefully in the beginning and have been maintained at no great expense to the state. They afford protection and accessibility to the steam conduits that run through them.

It happened the next day after the new Phi Beta Kappa members were elected. Jee looked around his class in advanced principles of economics and noticed that there were three new initiates there. He gave each of them special mention, congratulating them for their achievements, and then he announced the fact that he always has a good many members of this honorary fraternity enrolled in his courses. "One year," he said, "thirty percent of one of my classes was made up of Phi Beta Kappa members."
"So what??" a fellow asked. And without hesitating ISE replied, ironically, "It only shows that Phi Beta Kapa's take pipe courses."
All curious yokels walking along Fourteenth street nowadays stop to look at a display of graduation invitations in a window of Rowlands' book store. Ray Senate has put up a placard there which reads "Do not pay any attention to this window."
Until a few days ago a room house for both college men and women displayed the sign: "Mixed boarding club" outside the door. Now the sign has been changed to read: "Men rooms wanted."

They're still mad... At the Phi Delt house some playboy wired Kink McCullough's bed with a Ford coil and about 4 o'clock the other morning turned on the juice to McCullough's extreme discomfort and chagrin. Some fun, eh, kid? . . . Bill Hibbs has been going around to sorority houses on the Hill making speeches and promoting the Delta Tau Delta house as "the rendezvous" for women who plan to come to summer school this summer. Hibbs will be proprietor of the institution, and plans to have the whole fraternity house full of women roomers for the summer session. Individual attention is guaranteed, Hibbs says ... Red Blackburn calls his own special arrangements "home made music."

Room to Rent
TELL HER ABOUT YOURS
The end of the semester will soon be here. Students will be changing. Some leaving, some returning and some wanting a different room for the next semester.
If you have a room for rent, you can tell all the students with a small Want Ad in the Kansan. The cost is small, 25c for 1 time, 50c for 3 times, or 75c for 6 times. Don't let that room remain empty without trying to find an occupant.
All Want Ads for Rooms and Apartments for Rent will be kept on file at the Kansan Office to answer any inquiries from students or teachers over the state.
Don't gamble a semester's rent on a house sign or hope. If it can be rented, a Kansan Want Ad will find the student who wants it.
