University Power and Lighting Plant Called One of the Most Complete and Modern in State
on mornings when professors walk into their 830 classes, kick their doors shut, and snap on the lights, and they're always there. fact that every time the light button is snapped the lights go on, but if they should saunter around into the tack of the new library they would be running to make the lights of the University,
There, housed in a modern building, is the power plant of the Hill. The south half of the two-story brick, terra-cotta finished building is oceana-like, with three tiered roofs and plants, while the north半面 is given over to the lighting plant. In the power plant are four Walah and Weidmer boilers which burn oil, and an auxiliary battery of boilers which supply the oil they draw out and used, the coal burning boilers having been installed as a precaution against the curtailing of the oil supply. These boilers are capable of withstanding an internal pressure of 180 MPa, or 265 hp, and power made here is used in the light plant.
Gilkinson Would Revive Interest of Jayhawks in University Debates
Advocates More Extensive and Varied Forensic Schedule as Stimulant
"K. U, has some real debaters, and it has been a pleasure to work with them, but they are too few, and in some cases, they are too burdened with other activities," said Prof. B. A. Gibkinson this morning in speaking of the recently closed debating season.
"If judges' decisions alone are considered it must be admitted that we have had a very unsuccessful debating season this year," Professor Gilkinson added. "We lost to Missouri and to K. S. A. C. under the single judge plan, and to Colorado and Oklahoma by two to one decisions that this time rather inglorious role was helped somewhat at the end by our two to one decision over the Pennsylvania team."
"Not to palliate our defeats, but in justice to our deathers, however, I would say that in no case did our op-heroes fail to show good work. We now worked hard and made very verifiable showings, which in the judgment of a number of competent observers, might justly have given us some evidence of a pro-surance of the judges' votes."
The debating situation at K. U. is given in Professor Gilkinson's statement;
"The University of Kansas is in competition with institutions at which the interest in this activity is greater. We have furnished an audience of four to five hundred at our recent debate at Boulder, while our most important debate here, that with Pennsylvania, has been at the University, judging the judges and their families.
"Here the attendance at debates tryouts has been so limited as to permit of no real choice among the three, and this important activity is necessary if K. U. is to assume her rightful position in competition with the in-form."
To revive this interest Prof. Gilkinson advocated a more extensive and varied debate schedule, and entrainment for Missouri Valley Debate League.
Reuter Company Building Organ for St. Catherine
The Reuter organ factory in Lawru-
ce, is building a $20,000 organ for St. Catherine College at St. Paul. The organ is made up of a pipe, a complete set of chimes and a harp of 49 notes. The entire organ is electrically controlled. It is constructed in such a manner that instant reception is presented as soon as the key is touched.
The longest pipe in the organ is sixteen feet and the shortest pipe is seven inches. The long pipes are constructed of California white pine and the shorter ones are made of metal.
Panhilleenic handbooks at the Ohio State University give the histories of all fraternities and other campus organization.
The light plant is one of the most complete and modern in the south. The equipment is all of the General Electric Company manufacture and consists of one KT type induction motor, capable of 220 volts, 12 amperes, three phase, 60 cycle type; one 2200 volt starting compensator; one 2300 volt, 200 kw, 3600 r.p., 62.8 ampere alternating current generator; one larger generator, a steam turbines for both of them. These machines are housed in a metal enclosure. There is a traveler crane now, on cell-
The current is distributed through a long, safety switchboard. There are ten knife type switches, connected with some part of the University and so are arranged that no high voltage is near the operator. There is a power for each of the switches which of electricity used in the various departments and buildings, while the output is recorded by a meter which draws a graphic curve showing the amount of current passing out of the plant.
The name of William Shakespeare, written under six lines of script and accepted by scholars generally as the author of *Aiden*, an pronounced a forgery by Dr. Horace Howard Furrier, Jr., Shakepearian scholar of Phila-
Writing of Shakespeare Called Forgery by Schola
The fragment of manuscript was brought to this country in 1921 by Charles Sessler of Philadelphia, who discovered it pasted in the flyleaf of a second folio he purchased in London.
By a careful comparison of the handwriting in the Sessler manuscript with samples of Shakespeare's Doctor Furness decided the script to be that of William Shakespeare. The scholar then desciped certain "key" words and found it to be an incorrect copy of part of the "procession" of the Shakespeare forger, William Henry Ireland, who was many years after Shakespeare's death.

"As soon as the dues are paid the caps and gowns will be ordered," said Wayne McCoy, president of the senior class, this morning. "The orders for those who have paid their dues have been already sent in. "Arangements have been made with the dues payable to the gowns are being order that a small number of the senior regalia may be sent for by May 1," said McCoy.
"Those who have been unable to pay their dues may still have an opportunity to do so and get their caps and gowns, but May 1 is the dead-end date. They are to be paid to Miss Florine Shoemaker at the Alumni office."

Ye Kansan Cubs Edit University Paper in Commemoration of Ye American Newspaper Anniversary

Today, the Kannan Cubs, the beginning news students in the department of journalism, are issuing the Kannan in commemoration of the Kannan in commemoration of the Kannan.
The Boston News-Letter was a notable paper. For 65 years there had been printing presses in the colonies, and on one or two occasions a postmaster had to use officialicals, but they had failed. Post-master Campbell had developed such a string of correspondents among neighboring colonies, that he found himself at the center.
The first issue was printed on two sides of a sheet of paper about the size of a modern letter-head. It was largely a reprint from European newspapers. These European exchanges, sometimes six months old, for several years furnished a large number of issues and it was not neglected. For example: "New London, June 28.

The first extra was published on June 30, 1704, when Campbell wrote a story concerning the execution of six pirates on the St. Charles river. The whole village would out turn at sound of an "extra" in those days.
The News-Letter was alone in its field for 15 years, before another paper appeared in Boston; then within another appeared at Philadelphia.
