GERMAN U- BOAT
Charles Griesa Has Trying Experiences on His Way to Europe
Narrowly escaping taking passage on a liner which was later torpedoed, and running into a storm which tore down the wireless and left the ship tossing in high seas, are only part of the experiences of Charles Griesa, 117, who is now in France on his way to the Netherlands for ambulance corps. In a letter to his parents written from St. Nagarie, France, he says:
"We arrived here all safe after a two weeks' trip. Run into a bad storm which broke our steering gear, cut off the airless and put us out of our course.
"We were on the lookout for submarines on the way out. Through the war zone lights were all out and life boats hung over the sides. The ship I started to sail on but could not because my passport did not show up was sunk, so I did not miss it very far.
"I had only one unpleasant experience and that was the job of beating up a big Chinaman. He tried to knife me twice, the last time here in port. I gave him a good smashing. All I got out of it was a few little skin cuts on the hand. He is in jail now waiting extradition to London."

K U. STAMP COLLECTORS TO HAVE PHILATELIC CLUB
Several K. U. devotees of the hobby of postage stamp collecting are thinking of forming a philatelic society at the University. W. B. Brown, of the Journalism Press, was fond of jounisher magazine, and there are several others among the students and faculty who are collectors or dealers.
While there has been no organization formed, a meeting will probably be held later to form a club. Those who are back of the proposition are the current leaders of Southern Philatelic Society, one of the largest in the United States.
ARE THERE ANY MORE AT K. U. LIKE YOU?
Perhaps, sir, the poet said.
Does "fussing" interfere with serious study at the library?
This question was asked a woman reporter on the Kanan yesterday, but she was unable to give an answer; therefore she went to Spooner and called herself. The hour was not right, however, and little information was available.
She remembered what the news editor told her. She must get the story. Suddenly a poetic inspiration came to her and when she returned to the Kansan office she turned in the following:
AT SPOONER'S

"Where you go, you going,
my pretty maid?"
"I'm going a-studying, sir,

"Where do you study,

when do you return,
my pretty maid?
At nine-thirty o'clock,
she said.
Do you study often,
my pretty maid?
Most every evening, sir,
she said.
May I call for you,
my pretty maid?
If it please you, sir,
she said.

"SEE K. U. FIRST"
CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Prof. A. C. Terrill Backs Movement to Acquaint Students With Departments
"See K. U. First" is the slogan of Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, head of the department of mining who is starting a campaign to get the students of the University to visit the various departments.
During the last week, Professor Terrill has had students of three years in her course. She has shown them the interesting things in Haworth Hall, including the ceramic laboratory, the mining museum, the hall of minerals, the hall of fossils.
Prof. Sam Rice, of the department of journalism says that the trips to Haworth Hall have done his classes a great deal of good, and that he wanted every person in the state to feel that K. U. was "home."
"There are a great many students, here, who have never been on the inside of some of the University Buildings." Professor Terrill said. "What we want is to get the students acquainted with the work of the professors in our community and they go home they can tell the people in their communities and especially the high school seniors what the University is doing and what it can do for them."
"The more you know of K. U," he said, "the more you will love her, and the more you will do to make her better."
Professor Terrill suggested it would be a good plan to have the freshman rhetoric classes spend a half-hour visiting some department and then spend the rest of the hour writing a description of what they saw.
"This plan," he said, "would be a preparation for Mothers and Fathers Day."
Chancellor Frank Strong is in favor of the whole plan. "It is a good idea," he said, "when it can be carried out with the departments."
To start things going, Professor Terrill acted as guide for the members of the 36th Semi-Annual Section of the Law, who are in session in Lawrence.
"Meet me at Lawrence's"
The party assembled at the Museum at 9:30. After going through the Museum, it visited the Chemistry Building where some liquid air was being made. Then it visited Fowler School and then went to Haworth Hall, and the Engineering Building, where the good road's material was shown and explained.
Court Calls Two Professors
Court Calls Two Professors Dr. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of Geology, and Dean P. F. Walker, Dean of the School of Engineering, have been summoned by Federal court to testify in the Kansas Natural Gas case. The receivers of the Natural Gas Company are trying to raise the price of gas and the consumers are opposing the hike.
The chair of mystery, lately established on top of Fraser Hall, is at present unoccupied. The chances are that it will be filled by competitive men. The position seems worst, striving for since it is the highest one on the Hill.
"The Chemistry Building will have ample fire protection from now on," stated Supt. John M. Shea today. "That is, if we have any water supply. Eighteen new fire extinguishers were distributed recently throughout building and three hundred feet of new house were added to the equipment."
Professor W. B. Downing, of the School of Fine Arts, went to Kansas City yesterday to hear Geraldine Farrar sing "Carmen."

LAWS ADOPT NEW SONG
Take Over Bodily the Wisconsin "Glorious" Air
Drunk last night;
Drunk the night before;
Going to get drunk tonight
If we never get drunk no more.
hibiscus, tigrischus,
*四keys of beer for the four of us.*
*四of hibernum.*
(Chorus)
These are the words of the new song which the Laws have appropriated for their own exclusive use. The laws provide an opportunity for good harmony.
Words and songs came from the University of Wisconsin where they grew to be popular with the students and faculty. As all catchy songs travel so this one. Some man coming from Madison brought this song with him and the Laws have taken it up as their national anthem.
Much opposition toward the song developed at Wisconsin. Several professors did not like the words and decided to change them. One chemistry instructor took time from his work to catch the student's meter failed to catch the rest of the students' fancy and the original words are still used.
