FRESHMAN ATTEMPTS
TO ENTER MANHOLE
Did Not Succeed, But Learned Some
thing Probably Many Others Are
Unaware of the System.
Not all Freshmen are green nor is
the color so symbolic as the upper
classmen are fond of believing. The
other morning, on one of these cold
days, a member of the species in
question was seen trying to enter one
of the manholes which dot the cam
pus. When hauled out with some dif
ficulty he explained that he had felt
the heat coming out of the partly
open doors and thought that the tun
nel beneath was merely a passageway
connecting the buildings, and used by
the students in the winter time to
reach the various buildings without
having to wade through several feet
of snow.
The exact purpose of these man
holes and the tunnel system may be
unknown to many, and a brief de
scription of it may not be out of
place.
Connecting all the buildings on the
campus, the tunnel system Is really
nothing more than a conduit for the
Bteam piping, electric and telephone
wires, water pipes, and gas. The total
length of it is approximately 1,200
feet, and throughout most of the dis
tance It is high enough for a man to
walk erect. At convenient points
manholes are located to provide ac
cess to the tunnel in case It is neces
sary to make any repairs, extensions
or changes. The temperature of the
tunnel ranges from 150 to nearly 200
degrees and is caused by the numer
ous steam pipes.
The University power plant fur
nishes the steam for all the buildings
on the city campus, and distributes it
to most of the buildings at high pres
sure. Nebraska Hall and Mechanic
Arts building are supplied with the
exhaust steam from the engines, and

David Reavis, '13, visited at the Phi
Delt house last week end.
Edith Neale, '13, is spending this
weelc with friends in the city.
E. K. Matson, who graduated from
the law college at Nebraska, is prac
ticing law at Lewiston, Mont.
Miss Jessie Lee, '10, has been
placed in charge of the seed testing
department of the Louisiana Experi
ment Station at Baton Rouge.
Miss Lela Taylor, who has been
visiting her brother Otis, a senior in
the University, and a member of
Kappa Sigma fraternity, has returned
to her home in Madison, Nebr.
Helen Butler, '14, who now has a
position with the Kieth architectural
firm in Minneapolis, has been in Lin
coln for the past week. Her mother
will return to Minneapolis with her.
The marriage of Miss Arvella Vail,
13, and Mr. Clarence E. Miller, '14,
took place last Thursday at the home
of the bride's parents in Albion. Mr.
and Mrs. Miller will reside in Kansas
City, Mo., where the groom is in the
stationer's business.
A letter from Valeria Bonnell, '13,
written from Lucerne, Switzerland,
states that a decided calm rests over
the city. All of their party are very
comfortable and are spending part of
each day in sightseeing. Miss Her
mine Hatfield, who attended Univer
sity last year, is also a member of
this party.
Word has been received by mem
bers of the Acacia fraternity that
Leon Hurtt, who graduated last June,
is slowly recovering from injuries
received the latter part of July. Mr.
Hurtt, who was in a forestry camp,
was severely injured when a wagon
bearing supplies was thrown on him.
Since then he has been confined in a
hospital. This winter he will stay in
the United States forestry office at
Ogden, Utah.

this is used to heat these buildings.
Most of the pipes are covered to pre
vent condensation, but some are with
out this protection.
On most of the lines steam traps
are installed, which drain the water
out of the pipes. Most of the steam
which may be noticed issuing from
the mairholes comes from these traps.
The superintendents have had no
little trouble with the dampness in
the tunnel, which is caused by the
escaping steam. Moisture, they say,
disintegrates the insulation on the
electric wires, thus causing endless
trouble. They have considered taking
the wires out of the tunnel and run
ning them in separate conduits. The
wires carry current at a voltage of
2,300, and extreme caution must be
exercised therefore while working
near them. Before entering the build
ings, the voltage is "stepped down" to
220, and at this pressure is used for
light, and in most cases for power.
Electricity for the Farm is carried
underground to the Temple, and from
there overhead to the Farm.
The temperature of the tunnel
makes it almost impossible to keep
the pipes cold, and so most of these
are laid in the ground. Other pipes
in the tunnel carry gas, but not much
is used any more.
To do away with poles upon the
campus the telephone wires have been
placed in the tunnel also. Thus, with
these wires, pipes and the apparatus
connected with them, there' would be
little room left to carry out the
Freshman's idea of the system.
