ANOTHER STORM APPROACHES
Every student on this hill at some time last week heaved a volumous sigh of relief and said, "My last quiz is over." They spent a few fervid days without worrying about the morrow and probably caught up on all the sleep they had lost during last semester.
Those frivolous days were only a minute in the storm; we must weather it for more months of it yet. To those of us who have weathered the first semester it should be no great difficulty. There may have been a few casualties in our ranks but the most of us have come through intact. We are the better for it.
But it must be remembered that a second semester is not like the fr.4. It starts with a rush and a whirl; Easter vacation and balmy spring days are here almost over night, and before we realize it, we hear murmurings of final examinations again. So those students who wait three or four weeks before they start taking in the slack, as it seems is the custom at the beginning of the fall semester, may find it too late.
We look forward to the coming semester not with fear and trembling, but with a sort of determination which can only be gained by experience. One or more semesters have livened our interests and our acquaintances and given us a dim glimpse of knowledge. We are eager for more.
Take a tip—don't let the calm before the storm kid you into believing there is no storm. There is a storm and it started this morning.
"K" MEN
The weavers of the "K" were hosts last night at a smoker given for the benefit of the student body. This is only one of the fine things that men have done for Kansas. Ever since its organization the "K" Club has had a real duty to perform, and the athletes have never failed to their bit for the University. The purpose of the club in years past has always been to fully co-operate with the athletic management of the University in every way possible.
The "K" men have made determined efforts that every high school graduate will set foot on Mount Oread will be extended a personal invitation to visit all places of interest on our campus. Many of our greatest athletes being in school today are due to the efforts and determination of some old "K" man who has spread his influence in behalf of his Alma Mater.
With this strong organization back of the athletics at the University, co-operating fully with the department of athletics and with director Forrest C. Allen, Kansas is bound to advance in the athletic world in the next few years.
CHEATING YOURSELF
A faculty which is all too common among the college student as well as among others and which is insidious in its nature, is the desire to "get by" and nothing more, thereby cheating himself and others.
get by" and nothing more, cheating himself and others. A common form of conversation on the campus is the putting on an individual the question as to how he is progressing along a certain line, and the answer that he is "getting by" and that is all he is interested in, anyway. Particularly does this apply to the passing of academic courses. An alarmingly large number of the students are entirely serene and perfectly satisfied if they are receiving a mark which is barely passing and which enables them to put up an air of respectability as far as their school work is concerned. Habits formed in college are not easily shaken off in after life, and if there is any thing which dooms one to defeat in the business and professional world, it is satisfaction in mere idea of self interest should be a factor in making the student wish to get all he could out of educational facilities which someone else is familiar for him.
On Other Hills
Letter men at the University of Mississippi put on a dance every month. Signs are placed in comical upcases to inform all present that the dance committee of the "M" club presides over all performances of the faculty are strictly carried out Apparently they don't tag 'em dow in "Ole Miss."
Six of the best and most widely loved songs of the University of Michigan have been made into records by the Brunswick Phonograph Company. The Campus Chimes are used in the records also.
Due to the scarcity of industries in Norman offering employment to students of the University of Oklahoma, the labor problem there is serious. Many students are expecting to leave school on account of not getting work. Sixty per cent of the students are making their way through school either entirely or in part.
Jia Jisu will become one of the regular gym courses at the University of Ohio with the beginning of the second semester.
Echoes From Quiz Week
The professor watched his class rub their cold fingers as they struggled with the final exam. Finally he remarked encouragingly from his place by the register, "They say the temperature on the Hill averages 70." "That's right," agreed the cakeeater, as he eyed a question which did not arouse even the faintest glimmer of recognition in his mind, "The power plant is 110 and the rest of the Hill is 30."
He was a freshman and this was his first final.
He walked up the hill at 10:50 with a lordly senior—one of those birds who, in his conversations at lunch, listened to the telltale signs of fear and trembling, to the senior recount the horrors of finals, the multitude of flunks, and the chronic iceberg state of a professor's heart. In front of the museum a girl stands
"Can you tell me," she asked where Ohio street is?"
The senior pityingly instructed her and then turning to the freshman, continued, "There, see—poor girl she has probably just finished quiz—her mind is completely blank—black doesn't know where she lives
He paused, there was no need to expound further, the timid freshman had fainted.
"What is that wriggling object off near the horizon?" queried the near-sighted prof.

Winding high voltage insulation, 1894 — 2,000 Volts
Winding high voltage insulation, 1921 —
$220,000 Volts
Charles E. Skinner
WHAT is insulation?—a necessary evil;—the insulation engineer?—likewise a necessary evil;—such, too often, was the oldtime formula. What wonder, with such a stigma, that the vast majority of budding engineers of bygone years side-steped that branch of the electrical art which was in such ill-repate.
For over thirty years, Mr. Skinner has been delving into the whys and whereofs of the insulation problem, from extreme theoretical studies to the most practical applications. His work began at a time when there were no theories worth while to consider, and when there were no methods worth while to work with. It was not only necessary to develop the insulation art from the ground up, but all the tools of attack had to be developed, and this latter means far more than mere words can convey.
Fortunately, a few far-visioned young men of unusual caliber saw the great possibilities in this field of endeavor and concentrated many of their best years upon it. Formost among these few who have developed the insulation problem to a leading position in the art, stands Charles E. Skinner, the head of the Research Department of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.
As an insulation engineer, Mr. Skinner has always faced the necessity of utilizing a great array of materials which are inferior in mechanical characteristics to those of the rest of the structure, such as papers, fibres, cottones, fabrics, mica, varnishes, asphaltums, oils and various other unmechanical materials. Such materials are practically all affected, or destroyed, by undue heat. Many of them are easily penetrated by moisture, the arch enemy of insulation. Practically none of these materials individually is ideal for the purpose desired, nor are they perfect in combination. Consequently, the history of insulation is a story of struggle, of frequent disappointment, and oftimes mysterious failure.
It is now fully realized that the insulation engineer is a vital and constructive factor in the development of the electrical art. With the great advances in recent years his high position in the art is becoming more and more recognized, as the difficulties of his problems are better realized. It may be said truly, that the high position of the Westinghouse Company is due, to a large extent, to the far reaching accomplishments of its insulation engineers, of whom Mr. Skinner is the leading exponent.
