rather odd sport with our splendid
gym facilities, but it is done at the
university every day. This takes
place down under our feet-as many
of us are running across the campus,
picking the last half of our break-
fasts from our teeth in a vain en-
deavor to "make" eight o'clocks-'
down, where, hidden from view, we
little expect any human activity. This
is not a special underground training
home for vaudeville, but the morning
inspection of the university tunnels.
Our campus is undermined by a
tunnel system that is as interesting
as it is peculiar. I, a mere reporter,
started from the basement of the
power-house, at the southeast corner
of the campus, under the guidance of
Mr. Hopwood, chief engineer. From
the boiler-room we mounted three
steps and I found myself entering a
black hole in the wall. My lack of
sight was affset by the warm air that
was so noticeable; so that I felt at
ease, except for the feeling of not
knowing where I was. A snap behind
me, and I was greeted by the steady
bulbs hanging from the tunnel roof
like receeding satellites.
I straighten up. Above my head
were a half dozen wires, about as big
around as my thumb, running along
the top of the tunnel. These wires,
my guide said, were the electrical
conductors which carried light to the
various buildings of the university.
On either side of the passage, about
a foot and a half above the floor, were
large steam pipes, a foot in diameter,
covered with heavy white duck cloth.
When the lights were turned out this
tube made a faint milky way in the
surrounding haze. Below these big
pipes were smaller pipes which serve
as retake pipes to the boiler. These
pipes, I was informed, were the means
by which the various university
buildings are steam heated.
We walked due north, though it
might have been any direction. M!y
guide said we were headed for the
medical building. We stopped at an
opening where the wires turned to the
right and left, and branch pipes ran
out from the big ones. I was soon
mind, it was warm, and I had my to-
bacco with me. My musings were cut
short by the call of "Come up the
ladder if you wish." I found the lad-
der behind me and stepped boldly up-
on the first rung, clasping the sides
with both hands.
Remember that burning sensation
you experience .when you cut your-
self deeply with the razor? Well, I
had a razor in both hands. This lad-
der is of iron and the extra early
heat of the morning had set the mole-
cules into undue vibration. I went
up as fast as possible and found my-
self in the medic building. We did
not stay as the route was hardly be-
gun, besides I heard the howl of a
dog and wanted to get away before I
was taken for an experimental subject.
I started for the door, but the guide
said it was back down the ladder-I
shit on my hands and dropped the
eight feet.
we went on until we reached a
cu.ve. At this juncture I noticed for
the iirst time that the sides of the
passage were curved, and of brick, so

that one had the feeling of walking
inside of a large test tube. It was
here that we passed the first outlet,
of the tunnel, the branch to theI
homeo- hospital. Although we didn't'
enter this branch, it was noticeable in
its difference in construction. The
tunnel was built of cement and the
walls were perpendicular to'the floor.
Having passed this branch we came to
a& formidable barrier in the form of a
large pipe running across the passage.
After crAwling under this pipe we'
clambered fver a big 18-inch tube and
again slipped under a second smaller
pipe. While I stood wiping the pres-
peration from my forehead, my guide
explained that we were directly under
North University Avenue and that
these pipes were the water, sewer, and
gas mains, respectively, of the- city.
We finallytreached the dental build-
ing, but didnt stop. We retraced our
steps until we came to a branch be-
tween the medic building and the
gyms that led to the latter buildings.
We entered ths branch and went into
Waterman, crossed through and took
a peek at the swimming tank in Bar-
bour. I wanted to take a plunge, but
a screened door prevented it, much
to my disappointment.
With a huge sigh I was led back in-
to the tunnel and we started west for
the, chemical biilding. The passage
was much coolhr here, which was a
relief, as both )f us were sweating
profusely. Theye were no leaks in
the pipes here, so we passed on.
We continued due west, passing un-
der the psychology building. It was
quite chilly now,,which fact I thought
was doubtless due to the large num-
ber of "stiffs" tlht had been treated
there in the past. Half way to the law
department we caie to another tun-
nel branch. This as a cement tun-
nel and seemed ne. My guide said
it had been built 1his last summer.
We went through ths passage which
brought us into the l*sement of the
new Hill Auditorium, fter hurdling
the sewer, water, and as mains of
North University Aven again. A
pleasant 20 minutes was spent in-
specting the new buildini before we
retraced our steps back ) the old,
psychology building.
Back into the main tunn(l, the law
building was the next victim, The
tunnel was hot almost to s'ffocation
here. My guide said he thoight this
was due to the influence of the
fession; it must have been somet:
of the sort for it was well nigh
bearable. We did not stop here at

More southerness and we came
