One night thrie weeks ago, lis
ter Kdward.'^ came rushing into
the dormitor>- going up the steps
three at a time. By the time he
was mid-way up the i^tairs the
boy' h(ard the distressing call:
“Fire! Fire!" But little attention
was paid by the boys who were
lounging around telling Ferdi
nand stories,” until tHey heard
that the chemistry lab, which is
on the ground floor, waf aflame.
With the thought* of the chem
icals catching, the boys decided
to get moving. Those that had
gone to bed earlier were awaken
ed by their friends and everyone
clamored for protection. Kudolph
Corbet, who is claimed to be the
lazie.st in the dormitory, tried tf
toss his trunk out the window,
but it was too large for the small
opening. He grabbed his clothing
,n his arms and made off for a
safer place.

A small team of Chicago Uni

pus February 6, 1941. Theae
young men came to diacuas their
religious viewpoint* with other*,
in order that both might be ben-
ifitted.
These people were on the cam-
put all day and were open to hold
any group dik-usaions, or personal
interview*, and answer any que*-
tion* that were poaaible on the
matters of religion. They did not
repreaent any organization but
were a spontaneoua undertaking
of student* tfiemselve*.
These itudenta must have ac
compliahed *omething becauie of
the host of questions that were
asked at the meeting* that they
held in the chapel. Intereat waa
