Below-Zero Mercury Marked Low Record for December, 1927
Twenty Freezing Days During
Month Reported; Snowfall
Above Normal
The month of December which just elapsed was the coldest December since 1924, the mean temperature of 27.94 degrees, being 24.24 degrees below the December normal. The maximum of 60 degrees was reached on the 6th, minimum of 7 degrees below zero was recorded on the morning of Dec. 31.
There were 20 days during the month when the average temperature was freezing or below, which is the greatest number of such days since the two days below-zero temperatures fall for the month was five inches, which is not quite an inch more than the usual amount. There was less than usual amount of cloudiness; not since it was December so free of clouds.
On the whole the weather for the year 1927 averaged about as near what is termed normal as that of a single year is likely to be. The mean temperature, the rainfall, the number of rainy days, the number of thunny days, the number of humidity, and the number of fogs were all above their respective normals.
The maximum temperature, the minimum temperature, the number of days of 90 degrees or over, the number of days between severe frosts, the depth of snowfall, the percentage of cloudiness, and the run of wind were all below their respective normals. In most normal weather from the normal was small.
Science's Approach to Religion Traced at Meeting
Hollands Gives Treatise
A paper entitled, "The Psychology of Religion" was read by Prof. E. H. Hollands, of the department of philosophy, at the last meeting of Betta Chi Sigma, psychology fraternity. In his address Professor Holberg traced its scientific approach to religion from ancient times down to the present day.
Several ways by which science may approach religion were given. "The first approach," he said, "was by studying the beliefs of the people aimed to cause people to analyze their inner beliefs and give their own religion." Archapology was the second method of approach, consisting of studying the customs, beliefs, and institutions of man. The third method was introduced by the social psychologist and sociologist who assumed that religion had a role in society, that the two are closely connected.
"The fourth and latest method of approach," he continued, "in partly psychological and partly philosophical ways, which is called as a mystical experience." There is a revival of interest at present according to the writings of Robert Sacks. I do not mean a stitling experience, nothing occult or fantastic, but a study of experience in which the student has to form a truth of any complex situation all at once, without analyzing it," he said. "This thing which called mythem was often called a 'bunch' by the layman."
Following the address the gathering was turned into an open forum and the problems presented by Professor Hollandes were discussed. Both instructors attended the meeting, including both instructors and students. .
Fabled Charioteers of Ancient Astronomers Contains Capella Fifth Brightest Star in Sky
(Pollen Service)
Just what they should be a characterist in the sky, today they can say with certainty, if we seem to have lost the active imagination possessed by the encient astronomers, or meteorologists, as they were in those days, when the names were invented. But there is a characterist, and now it a compulsive feature in the eastern sky. Capella, the brightest star in the constellation and so known as Aurigae, is now shining brilliantly.
Whatever the origin of the group, however, Aurigna seems to be one of the most important scientists in a well-known book on star-lore by Richard H. Allen, the author says: "The results of modern research give us new insights into the formation originated on the Euphrates, in much the same form that we have it from the sky figure many million years ago. A sculpture from Nimrud is an almost exact representation of a star."
As represented, the figure shows a man, seated, carrying a goat on his
Skating "Great Sport." Declares New Mexican
Would you come all the way from Clivia, N. to Lawrence, Kan., to the campus of the University to go ice-sating on Potter lake? Probably you would not, and probably no one else would. However—
Such has been the experience, in a way at least, of a student enrolled as a foreign student in engineering and Architecture. One Dale Campbell, rather diminutive in size, who hats from New Mexico, and that man can go to around for a good university to attend, where good engineer training is available. The University of Kansas was his choice. When September came, he and his family moved to Kansas and came to Kansas to continue their studies.
And Friday night the young engineering student went ice-skating for the first time in his life, on Potter lake. It did not take him long to tired quickly, this feeling can be applied quickly by all ice-skaters who recall the time when they first learned to skate.
There is little ice-skating in New Jersey, according to Campbell. The reason is that the ponds do hey, do the ice is not for skating because the ponds are small and shallow.
"How many times did you fall down?" an upperclassman asked of Campbell.
"Oh, five or six," name the answer,
"but it wasn't so hard failing—when you fall you will just slide halfway across the pond." Perhaps the new ice-skater has yet to have the experience of falling into water while the ice comes up to pat him, not too gently, on the back of his head.

The star Capella is of interest because the spectrocope reveals by an analysis of its light that it very much mimics a planet like the sun, it is a binary, a fact also revealed by the spectrophone. The star Capella is one of two single stars, it consists of two, which revolve around each other in 104 days. Of all the stars that we can see from Earth, there are two brightest brightest. In the southern hemisphere, there are two other stars seen which exceed it in brilliance, so that the fifth brightest star in the sky.

shoulder, and a pair of kicks in his left hand. The bright star Capola is in the heart of the goat, while the triangle of rather fair stars indicated the shape of the hand holds the reins of the chariot, which, most peculiarly, is not shown in the sky at all. As the arrangement of slight resemblance to an ancient chariot, it may be that the charakter itself was once shown, but that in the years that have elapsed since the emphauser had driven the driver rather than the vehicle.

"Magnetic Pickup" to Be Useu to Radiocast Records
In order to facilitate the broadcasting of a series of photographic programs reproducing the work of a series or group of noted artists, a Strömberg-Carbon magnetic pick-up camera is shortly to be installed at KFKU.
The pick-up, according to Prof. H. W. Andeson, is an electrical device which fits on a phonograph in place of the reproducer, and produces electric sound transmitted them into the amplifier. The phonograph mechanism is used only to turn the record. The pick-up system can be operated and takes the place of a microphone. When in operation the device is somewhat comparable to an electric phono-
The programs for which this pickup will be used have been planned by the extension division, and will consist of a series of record programs, such as the recordings group of records by a single artist or the work of a series of them. The records for these programs will be furnished by Bell's Music company, and they are now being broadcast to members of the arrival of the University's device.
