Hill P. Wilson Tells Stories of Hunts In African Jungle
Three Year's Visit in Congo Reveals Many Interesting Facts Concerning Inhabitants
"The immensity of Africa and your inability to grasp it, is the thing that impresses you," said Hill P. Wilson, B. S. '05, who has just returned from three years in the Congo, in an interview this month about his experiences with D. L. Patterson of the department of history. He expects to return to Africa in June.
"After three years, I can only say that I don't know much about it," he said. "I crossed the continent and worked in slightly south of the equator, but I feel that I don't know any more about it than if I had passed through on a Pullman in the evening just about time they are making up the beaches."
"The first impression that you get of the Congo is of its great size. You get up some morning on the ship and find your bath is the color of rain water. You ask the steward what the reason is, and he tells you it's the Congo. No land is in sight yet, but the water is in a dull brownish hue. Not until late in day do you reach sight of land, and by that time you begin to realize the enormous amount of water you are sailing through."
Africa Meca for all
Mr. Wilson said that his experience with the Meca has helped him phase his work on the inquiries and hunting.
"Africa is the Mecca for all good hunters," he said, "but the idea that you can go anywhere and kill all the game you want to is wrong. In some cases, you can kill all, while it is abundant in others."
"The big idea in African hunting is to kill the greatest possible variety of animals. A hunter always wants to pick up another man's book and see how many he got that the animal would eat. Other way around, as it may be.
Native Dialects Differ
"The dialects differ in different parts of the country," he went on to say, "but there is a sort of basic root language, from which they all come. The white man learns a few root words and starts out in the forest. What he can't say or understand these words he does by guessing. We guess that he will set sign guessing, such as you read about in bible books of adventure, but it isn't hard to give the other fellow your idea by the way you look and act.
Everything Measured by Time
Everything Measured by Time
“You don’t measure things in terms of distance out there,” Mr. Wilson went on; “You measure everything by time. You say a place is twenty minutes away, or two days, or six weeks, or whatever it is; not so many miles or kilometers.
"The foreman of a native gang came up once to tell me that a man had been eaten by a crocodile. I didn't know the word for crocodiles or the name of the man, but some one the foreman made me remember, by his hands, the words, and before I got down to the place I knew pretty well just what had happened.
"I can't begin to tell you about Africa," he recanted. "The idea is just that it's big. You can chatter about it and give some little details, but you can't really tell anyone about it."

George Bernard Shaw Is Subject of Lecture Given English Classes
Miss Winston Delivers Sixth Number of Contemporary Literature Series
"George Bernard Shaw sees in life what the rest of us refuse to use, or see and then forget," said Miss Alice Winston, professor of English, in the fifth of the series of lectures on contemporary literature for freshmen in college. "He has set himself to train them to see what he has seen." she added.
"Had Shav not also been given a great power of wit and humor, he would have been that tireless individual, an ordinary reformer. He set himself very definitely to make a point of being a sort of ideal a seeing impossibility which Shaw has made a possibility." continued Miss Winston.
The views of Shaw on economics, social, and political questions, war, morals, women, and evolution were illustrated by descriptions of his plays. That the glamor of war is simply nonsense is brought out by one character in "Arms and the Man," according to the book House." houses show how, under present social conditions, everyone is responsible for suffering.
"The Bible of Evolution" is the title Shaw applies to 'Back to Methoemia,' said Miss Winston "He hopes that it will be the first of a group of students to do something more evolutionary. Shaw's ideas can usually be found through one character in each play who is his mouthpiece." The next lecture of the series will be by Miss Esther Conrad, Instructor in English, on Joseph Conrad.

These two gentleman announce themselves by hammering on the door of a house where Brabanto, a "dame duck" senator, lives, and belching "thieves," and right they was, Arch. The senator comes out on the front stoop in his bathrobe and then pass the word to hin that he is now being married to a certain dark leatherneck, named Othello.
Senator Brambanti says to run away and play, but when he turns on the light and looks, the dame is not there. He says, "a foul deed has been done this day!" and expresses his grief over his death having Othello's handy. He then calls the officer who is down at the drug store.
I am going to write to you even if you do belong to the common people. Pedro and me clinched a place in the world. I have been told that to a big stevedore named Hampden played who heeded in Othello. All of us cultured people was there. Maybe I better tell it to you in your own language, maybe you wouldn't understand it in Italian.

The play started in Venice, and it a seaport on the Adriatic, so it must have been a tough place; something like St. Nauliarea. A pair of thighs in the back, with a short leg for corporal), and Roderigo, a Veniant cake eater, who looked like a stork, start the play with a frame against Otello, who is a Moor, and badly suburban in the Venetian army or murders (It wasn't just clear).
Twenty-three years ago, two scholarships, the first to be offered to the students of the University of Kansas, were established in memory of alumnae who were too early to snatch away," writes Eugenie Galloo, professor in the department of French in the University of Kansas, in an article for the March issue of the Graduate Magazine.
"For these students a scholarship means relief from some of the grinding pressure, as well as a feeling of fellowship, of encouragement, from the support of the path before, to their younger brothers and sisters in the University."
Special Holy Week services will be held by the W. Y. W. C. A., beginning Monday, March 26, in the living rooms of Henley House. Just before the early morning class, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., students pray in the prayer and discussion. The service that will be used is being sem out from New York for special Holy Week services and is different from any program held before. Lela Bet, an贤人 of this religious urgues, will wear stilts the meetings.
Miss Galloo Discusses Origin of Scholarships In Graduate Magazine
"The list of scholarships shows a gratifying growth of interest, however, it is the saddening experience of the committee on scholarship, that the increase of scholarships has not kept pace with the increase in the number of applicants. These students are usually self-supporting and some have obtained the distinguished grade schools. Nothing but their own initiative and efforts have taken them through high school and in some cases they have to contribute to the support of their families and it has meant six or seven years of toil at all kinds of labor before they can bring themselves to the University of Kansas. Only those who are in close contact with these young people will hope to be undaunted courage which carries them through.
"When they have entered the University a great step forward has been taken, it is true; but the struggle must go on. They have to work to support themselves, sometimes in part, often to the last penny. This means that they must deny them materiality in that inaction in cities and that of their University work suffers from lack of time for preparation.
The ceremony is just over when the happy couple is found and Othello is just tipping the probate judge for its services. It's too late to queer the contract so they let it stand.
About this time the Venetian Gondola comes out with an extra cheerfully announcing that the Turks are approaching with thirty gnome boats to hold a peace conference at Lausanne.
Committee Finds an Increasing Number of Students Who Need Assistance
Emilia is a woman of sense, Arch, although she is married to Iago, sees through his whole plot and tells Othello that Deademona was on the level and that Iago could give a snake lessons in dishonorable conduct. Othella stabs himself, Arch, and Iago stabs Emilia. They give up their lives over. It was a good play Arch even if it didn't end happy. Write soon and tell me how you liked the play, Modestly, Bill.
Othello goes out with a couple of destroyers and scuttles the Turkish fleet as if we was routine work. Just like we used to use, do Arch, Ingo is on Othello because he hides a mine in his backpack. While Igo is only drawing a corporal's pay, he is just waiting to get in his dirty work. After the battle of "Sinking Turk" the duke makes Othello town mayor of Cyprus, which makes Ingo as happy as a small boy too late to go in on the pancakes.
That night Iago uses his evil influence to catch Cassio polluted on liquor which seems to be pleniful as it is in Europe and those countries Arch as you know and arrangements for a man a named Montane not a bear Who Was Ole, o sobers up he is a buck privateant and Iago is a leautent.
Ijago who has a fondness for Inigo hatches a plot to queer both Cassio and Othello's devoted wife Othello's getting banana which Othello has married with wedding present and leaving it in Cassio's billow. Othello who is a trifle billious as well as jealous plans to criss Cassio or Iago obligingly has been told that Othello is convinced that something is rotten. Othello, although working under pressure, strangles Deademona in bed and the plot is helped along, Arch, by Rodrigo who wants for Castille to him in the leg as he todos past.
