CIRCLES GLOBE IN SPEEDY TRIP
Ittai Luke Returns After Two Years on World Magnetic Survey
GOES NEAR BOTH POLES
K. U. Graduate Will Visit Here After Long Stay on "Carnegie"
Circumnavigating the globe in one hundred and seventeen days and touching as many of the world's most important ports, was the experience of Ittal A. Luke, c14, who returned completing the long voyage at San Francisco, October 14. Mr. Luke was a physicist aboard the non-magnetic yacht, "Carnegie", the boat used by the Carnegie Institute of Washington for the purpose of making a magnetic survey of the world, thus enabling the sea captains to have a much more trustworthy navigation chart.
After graduating from the University in 1914, Mr. Luke went to Washington, D. C. where he later proceeded to New York from which port he sailed, being on the water from June till October. On this leg of the sea journey he touched dry land at Spitzerberg and Iceland. He met Mersin his time was occupied on the harbour trip embraced the Panama Canal Zone and the rest of the equatorial waters to Honolulu where a six weeks stay was made, following which the "Carnegie" sailed for different Alaskan points, sighting St. Paul's Island at 60 degrees north sometime later.
Here an eighty-nine day trip to New Zealand was undertaken. After spending a month at the British colony getting aboard a vest supply of foodstuffs and other provisions, they began their journey around the Antarctic ice pack in the region of 60 degrees south. In this section they visit George's Island, the farthermost southern settlement in the world.
SAW BIG ICEBERGS
This place is a whaling station from which are shipped an average of 6000 whales a year. Continuing the southern swing around the circle they arrived at New Zealand on two time, completing the circumnavigation of four hundred and seventeen days after setting sail from San Francisco.
On one occasion Mr. Luke says an iceberg was sighted that was nine miles in length and one hundred and twenty feet high with supposedly one million people beneath the waters. On one day forty-eight beers were seen while in the Antartic region. The journey through the southern waters was one mile long.
After leaving New Zealand the second time the "Carnegie" went to Samoa, one of the places where the first stage was built and a primitive stage. The final trip home was forty-five days by the way of China and Japan to San Francisco.
THE DAILY OBSERVATIONS.
The daily work of the K. U. scientist atabist observes the K. U. scientist observation for the dip, declination, intensity, and the atmospheric electrical elements of the potential gradient, conductively, number of irons, positive and negative; the temperature interaction content of the atmosphere.
Speaking of the European War, Mr. Luke says, "Our boat kept on gun fire of the continental navies but at New Zealand we got a good glimpse of the gigantic struggle in the front standpoint. Here the Britons are training all the available able-bodied men for service at the front."
Mr. Luke is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Xi fraternities. After visiting friends in Lawrence for a month he will go to Cornell and pursue his studies, working for a Ph. D degree.

SKILTON'S MUSIC SCORES BIG HIT
Minneapolis Symphony Orches tra Plays Two of Professors' Selections
That University of Kansas professors are winning fame for themselves and the University in other fields is shown by a recent article appearing in the Minneapolis Journal praising the work of Prof. C. Siklon as skilton of concertes of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The item follows;
"Second honors (first honors were awarded to the Triple Concerts by Beethoven, a work never before heard in these concerts) on the interesting Dances," by c. S. Shilton, Mr. Danaes, who is a musical member of the faculty of the University of Kansas, has done sterling, artistic and valuable pioneer work in American music by setting these Indian tribal melodies atmospherically for orchestra. Both are beautifully done, with scholarly appreciation of their ethnological value, yet with equal realization of their possibilities as things of sheer beauty, the quite, a Cheyenne War Dance, second off its feet and Mr. Oberhoffer was obliged to write it in full.
"It was clever of Mr. Oberhoffer to place just before these dances a Cossack Dance by Dargonljsky, a Russianness and oddly interesting resemblance to them. That they suffered nothing by comparison with this masterful Russian genre picture shows that it is their inherent value and merit."
These pieces and several others have been in the regular repertoire of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. They are a number of Professor Skilton's selections, led by the composer himself. At that time Professor Skilton was an ovation unsurpassed by the even more famous professor in the University of Kansas.

A Daily Letter Home—The Daily Kansas.
Once upon a time a crowd of sorority freshmen gave a lovely party for their upperclass sisters. And after the party they said farewell and the freshmen took their way to their upperclassmen to attend and the upperclassmen to the chapter house. And the upperclassmen sought their pillows for they were exceedingly weary. And suddenly the stillness of the early morning was broken by a great volume of sound even at it is not so loud as before and assembled together and pronounced the cause thereof a mixture of snuff and some diabolical chemical the name of which was not known. And the upstart freshmen were disused and the chapter house even until all parts of the city and gathered the freshmen together. And at the chapter house they made the freshmen repent of their sins. But that was of no avail because no one yet has found a remembrance of snuff from the pillows and chignons, or from the house.
