HE'S WORKING IN THE GYM
H. CLAY WATERS GETTING HIS-DEGREE.
Under Coaching of Harry Kemp,
the ex-Kansan Editor May
Do the Two-Mile.
Henry Clay Waters, who was editor of The Kansan in 1908-9, and who has for the past three months been city editor of the Lawrence World, is now making up his gym credits at the University, preparatory to taking a degree. During the tours years he was a student of the University, Mr. Waters spent so much time poring over books in the sociological alove at the library that he could not quite find time to finish his gymnasium work. Now he is burninfg the midnight gas poring over physical culture studies.
"Heine," as the ex-editor and ex-student is known to his friends, has been seen daily for the past week crossing the campus with a small note book filled with typewritten exercises, with dumb bells, weights, Indian clubs, bars, wands and the like, which he must learn before receiving the coveted sheepskin. His eyes wear a preoccupied, far-away look, for "Heine" has thought so much in terms of sociology that the really simple directions for the handling of his apparatus are a bit puzzling to him. And this in spite of the fact that Waters was considered an exceptionally good basket-ball player on the high school team before he came to the University.
However, "Heine" is likely to get all the tutoring he needs. For a week "Cap" Young, past holder of the University high jump, coached him along the athletic way, and now Hary Kemp, who takes a daily two-mile spin around the track to enhance his pursuit of Pegasus, has taken up the work. Unfortunately, the poet has ideas of his own about physical training, ideas which the little typewritten book does not contain. He has been importing Dr. Naismith to make 'Heine' do the two-mile before he is declared to have finished his physical culture course. The recipient of the poet's attentions is attempting to side-step the two-mile requirement. He claims that he should be allowed to enter in lieu of the "two-mile" the pursuit of two-line "personals" from the Sana Fe station to Haskell Institute and back several times a day for a period of three months. The matter is being threshed out in the gymnasium this afternoon.

MRS. GRENFELL SPOKE.
Told of Advantages of Higher Education.
Mrs. Helen Loring Greenfell of Denver, Col., spoke briefly in chapel Wednesday morning in regard to the larger life which comes to women as well as men from college experiences.
"It is not the kind of work, but the way of doing it which enti"s the worker to success," she said.
To illustrate this statement, Mrs. Grenfell told the story of a college girl who became a teacher in a small coal and mining town in New Mexico. The community had a large foreign element and she not only taught the children from books, but in a conscientious way maintained a miniature college settlement among the people. Their testimony to the value of her life showed the possibilities of carrying a high college spirit into humble surroundings.
Mrs. Grenfell was for three terms state superintendent of public instruction in Colorado and is active in all movements for the uplifting of conditions in her city and state.
BOILER BROKE AWAY.
And Rolled Forty Rods Down the Hill.
Last Saturday the large boiler which was being moved from Fowler shops to the boiler house broke away from the workmen who were moving it and rolled about forty rods down the hill Its course toward a little cottage was deviated by it running through a hedge, against some trees and into a field of soft dirt. The incident occurred by the failure to carry out the plans of Mr. Crocker, who was ill at his home at the time of moving the boiler.
The force of men who were moving the boiler at the time of its rapid descent, are now engaged in the process of a slow ascent.

Kemp Robbed of Distinction This Spring.
The honor of being the first University man to swim in the Kaw river this year goes to John Van der Brook and Joseph Kaffer, two junior engineers.
Hearing of Harry Kemp's intentions to be the first man to brave the icy waters again this year Van der Brook and Kaffer decided to "beat" Kemp to his stunt.
Saturday afternoon they walked about three miles up the Santa Fe tracks to Cameron's Bluff and took a fifteen-minute plunge in the river. The water was too cold to stay in any longer, but the boys had accomplished their object and were satisfied to walk back to Lawrence and tell their friends of their stunt.
