Columbia Professor Plansee Orientation Course for First Year Students
Dr. John A. Coss, director of the university extension at Columbia University of New York, will speak in concession here Feb. 5.
Dr. Coss is professor of philosophy at Columbia; the most interesting thing that he has done is to work out how to make it accessible at the university. This is a composite course, giving the new student an insight into the different fields of knowledge, trying to help him find out how to become adjusted to college life.
The course embodies work from the various fields of work in the university, such as art, literature science and so forth, thus enabling the student to gain an idea of the actual nature of the work of the various departments, and helping him to understand how he works that he is most interested in.
According to Walter R. Smith, pro-
fessor of education, he is an excellent
speaker and will give some of his
interesting experiences.
According to R. A. Schweiger, dean of the School of Education, who was instrumental in getting Dr. Coss to speak in conversation; the opportunity to hear this talk is one of which every student should take advantage. Doctor Coss is to speak with Ms. McGraw about the meeting of the council of administration at. Topeka, and only through the efforts of Dean Schweiger was he induced to spend one dry at the University.
Doctor Coss will also address the faculty of the University in a general faculty meeting at 3:16 in the auditorium of central Administration, where he will discuss informally Columbia's experiments in orientation courses.
In addition to Dr. Cass's talk, the music's glue club will sing two of her favorite songs, *Sweet Love* by John Downward; and *The Lamp in the West*, by Horatio

Foot Freed;but Cave-in Prevents Collins Liberation
Rescuers Narrowly Escape Injuries When Tunnel Is Again Closed
Cave City, Ky. Feb. 4—With relief in sight after his foot was freed from its imprisoning boulder, Floyd Collins was again imprisoned when the passageway through which he must pass over a tunnel, in separating him from his rescues.
The exact extent of the cave-in it not known, but it is thought that it
Is Again Close by Rocks
Released Yesterday Afternoon
Collins, who has been imprisoned
since last Friday, was released early
this morning. He faces a face and
face, and tosses dirt back in buckets,
rescues had warded their way to
Collins and dug under him until
he was released. He was then
heaped with rocks and given a
heavy dose of whisky.
Injuries May Become Serious
Digging resumed with a rush, but it is not certain just how soon Cali may be released. It may take minutes, it may take hours. It is not certain if the latest cave in, or if he is not treated soon for his other injuries they may become extremely serious
As the resources backed out through the turned to pull Collison off the turnip, a rock slipped in narrowly missing them. A rock shipped with the diet blocking the turnip.
Lloyd Collins Cannot Live
Cave City, Ky., Feb. 4. "Lloy Collins will not come out, of the cave alive. He will die of starvation and sickness."
John Collins Believes Brother Will Die of Starvation
The rescuers gave up hope when John Collins*, dam-digger of Louisville, voiced this conclusion. Collins is directing the rescue work.
"We need 50 men." John Collins said late today. "Every man here is worn out. They can do no more work. They can't find food and other supplies可靠."
The heart-breaking labor of cutting through to Collins was completed shortly after he released. It seemed the hours of drougery were to be crowded with men.
But when the rescue crew backs out to obtain a canvass sheet or which to carry out the victim, a portion of the tunnel wall fell in.
Colline is locked in a passage twenty feet long, three feet wide and three feet high. Behind him yawns his eyes. Deep into deep. He is dying of starvation.
The prisoner has had no nourishment except a drink of whiskey since last night. He coughs violently. His body has been wrapped in blanket. An electric light bulb was laid upon it to dispel the gloom and chill.
"Even with 50 fresh men we can not reach Collins in less than 25 hours," John Collins said. "He can't live that long."
Kentucky Cave No Place for City-Trained Reports
The sides of the passage dripped key visitor. Sandstone jutted from the floor jabbing sharply against my feet and cracking my feet over the shark racks. Suddenly a great dread seized me. Wax I about to collapse in the passage and thus hinder the work of the resources that would ever make 300 feet so I backed cut.
The mouth of the cave is just a good sized hide in the side of the hill. Nothing terrifying here, I thought as I slipped in walking upright for a few feet. Then the passage suddenly murrowed down like the mouth of a funnel and I had to get on my hands to avoid falling. It lasted until the root shudded so sharply that I was forced to lie down and squirm along flat on my face.
Cove City, Ky. Feb. 4—This cave in which Flavell COllina is imprisoned is no place for a man afflicted by cancer. I met her when I knew because I tried to get in. My journey took me 50 feet while the car traveled 200 feet to recall Colanna.
