Rope Skipping Mouse Spreads Terror Among Timid Maidens; Aid of Pied Piper Is Sought
Wanted: A pied pier at Corbillah hall. Such is the crying, as well as screaming need of 125 collage women, who are living in mortal terror these days, ever alert, ready to lean straight into the hole, when the Corbillah mouse skins into view.
The impertinent little rodent he has been striking terror to feminine hearts for several days, and a number of women are said to be on the point of nervous breakdown due to his unwanted advances.
Several evenings ago, friend moss came skipping downstairs into the dining room, causing a miniature riot when he strolled to the middle of the floor. Screams, clatter of silver, and dropping of mukles greeted him, then he was taken out by souls, who was chased into the stair closet and the door was locked.

But in some manner, peculiar to an imails of his species, he escaped before masculine hands could remove him. He was next seen using his tail for 't

skipping rope in front of the fireplace but he immediately sought privacy for the continuation of his exercise when he was discovered.
Recently the American Association of Agricultural Chemists asked the department of pharmacy at the University to collaborate with the association and its members in the analysis of almost every eminent chemist in the United States. According to L. D. Havenhill, dean of the School of Pharmacy, this organization is the largest organization of analysts in the world.
The house mother reports that the situation is critical. Unearly screams of terror are liable to run out any time of day or night, and a terrified maid must needs be comforted and re-assured that she can get down on the table, and that no big bad mouse is going to bite her.
Association of U. S. Chemists Analyzes Methods Proved Inefficient
Subjects Relate to Alcohol
Residents of the hall are also complaining that there is no privacy at all for weekend dates, because little Ignata Mice is likely to be sitting about in the darkest corner, aping, shrugging and then laughing. Unless this impolite intruder is forcibly and surely removed, the roof of Corbin Hall will soon be lifted off by shrieks of terror, and the student hospital will be crowded with women waiting outside for more of manners. "May the piled pins be safely" is their prayer?
Every year the association decides by inquiry some point or phase in modern chemistry that the extant methods of analysis and preparation have proved defective, faulty, or inefficient. This year the subject upon which research and analysis will be done is alcohol.
The questions sent out to various schools and stations this year are as follows: 1. Preparation containing alcohol, such as tinctures, 2. Preparations with alcohol in emulsions. 3. Alcohol in the presence of soap and chloroform, such as liments. 4. Alcohol solutions containing formaldehyde, ethanol or acetone. 5. Alcohol with methyl alcohol, 6. Isopropyl alcohol, a new form that is a by product of the natural gas industry. According to Dean Havenwill, the last subject of experiment is one of the most important research problems of today, since the propyl alcohol is so far an experiment has shown to be more effective than ethyl and methyl alcohols. One of the problems of the research is to prepare this alcohol by a cheap and efficient method.
This is the first time in two years that the School of Pharmacy has been able to co-operate with the association, but in past years the school has done some valuable research work, especially in dealing with hypnotics in headache powders, and alkaliolid assays.
**Methods Become Official**
Do Havemann bids, concern "by broadcasting to the chemists of ability over the country subjects for research, tentative methods of some use," do Havemann and have become official method."
The Association of Agricultural Chemists has its headquarters at Washington, D. C. There is an officer of the association that visits the organization doing the research, giving them pointers on the work and what especially to look for. The association, when first organized, consisted wholly of agricultural equipment stations and worked only in four states and fertilizer problems, but the association is so large that now it is composed of nearly every chemistry school and organization of worth in the United States.

China's Nationalism Now Spreading to Philippines
--the stenographic bureau was organized in December, 1921, to take care of secretarial work which the various departments of the University required, and which were not able to handle. This work for the departments still constitutes the bulk of the deliveries of the bureau. Approximately fifteen per cent of the work put out is the typing of term papers, theses, and other work for students, and the John G. Statz, director of the bureau.
Washington, March 30—Chinat's nationalism is spreading to the Philippines and stimulating an intensified campaign for island independence. Philippine leaders here today expressed conviction that the political ascendance of the Cantonese Nationalists will lead to a new balance in power, asserted counter-acknowledging Japan's previous superior political position.
Pedro Guegarz, present commissioner of the United States congress, told the United Press "The national aspirations of the Philippine people have been spurred by the Chinese successes," adding that a campaign for independence from United States supervision will result.
Commons serves at Night
between ten and fifteen o'clock and meal menote the common meals of the Common's new service. A hot supper is being served at present, but a cold plate supper will be added later in the spring, according to Miss Hazel Parks, manager of the cafeteria. The short lunch business during all hours is also getting started via mail, according to Miss Parks.
Work on Auditorium Progressing
Work on the new auditorium is progressing rapidly. There are forty workmen employed in tearing down forms and braces and in putting on the roof which will be finished in about a month. The roof is to be of tile.
As soon as the roof is sailed so there will be no danger from rain the lathing work will start.
Stenographic Bureau Furnishes Employment to Student Typists
Organization Gives Secretaria Services to Departments and Others
Between five and six thousand dollars is expended each year by the K. U. stenographic bureau in salaries to student employees. Many of those students are unable to pay their way through the University by means of this work.
The bureau is organized on a self-sustaining basis, and does between seven and eight thousand dollars worth of business during the year. The policy is not to make profit, but simply to furnish service to the University departments and to the University cost of time, labor and materials.
Nearly seventy-five students, on the average, are employed by the bureau during the course of a school year. From six to eight are working as teachers; from nine to more are on the irregular list, subject to call for special work.
Chancey B. Little, LLB, '98. retiring second district congressman has formed a law partnership with J. S. West, former justice of the Kansas supreme court. The offices of the firm will be located in Olathe.
