To Advise New Students
Missouri 'Greeks' and 'Barbs' Unite to Aid Freshmen
Columbia, Mo.-With the idea that hazing of freshmen is not best for the students and does no good for the school, next year's sophomores at the University of Missouri have agreed to help the newcomers rather than try to make life miserable for them.
Representatives of every social fraternity on the campus, together with representative "barbs," have organized a sophomore council dedicated to friendship for the freshies.
Under the plan proposed, each nonfraternity freshman would have a sponsor among the members of the sophomore class. The sponsor would acquaint the freshman with the requirements expected of him at the university and would aid him in adapting himself to his new environment.
"The system proposed by the students, if carried out, will make the University of Missouri unique among American universities," Albert K. Heckel, dean of men, commented. "Guidance and helping of first-year students by members of the sophomore class can only result in closer harmony among students, a lower freshman-mortality rate, and greater school spirit in the university."
University Honors War Dead With Bronze Plaque
At the entrance to the Union building there is a bronze plaque, presented at the last commencement by the class of 1919, bearing the names of 130 University of Kansas students who died in service during the World War. To obtain this list, it was necessary to trace the names of about 50,000 former students. Prof. M. W. Sterling undertook this work immediately after the war.
Over 3000 students were found to have served in the World War. Of these he at first found 126 to have been killed. In 1926 three more names were added to this list. Professor Sterling continued in his search and last spring the name of Frank Sorgatz was added to the roll.
A composite picture of the 129 dead was placed in the Union building by the class of 1928. This is one of three markers placed in the Union building. The other two markers are a tablet outside of the entrance to the Union Memorial building, dedicated by the class of 1924 to the students who died in the World War. The other one, as already mentioned is the tablet presented by the class of 1919 which bears the names of the 130 dead students. This plaque was bought by Dean George C. Shaad, and Louis Severson who are in charge of a trust fund, donated by the Class of 1919, which, with the accumulated interest on it, has now grown to almost $500.
Mr. R. S. Howey, instructor in economics, left Monday for an extensive trip into Canada. From there he will go to Boston where he plans to work on his Ph.D. degree at Harvard

Poverty May Be Abolished Kimball Places Responsibility Upon Engineers and Industrial Leaders
New York—Can poverty be abolished? This was the question raised by Dean Dexter S. Kimball, of the College of Engineering, Cornell University, in a radio talk given here recently under the auspices of Science Service over a nation-wide network of the Columbia Broadcasting System. He answered his own query by saying that the solution of the problem depends upon the engineers and industrial leaders of the country.
"The noise and confusion that float upon the surface of modern life and made most apparent by the radio, the movie, the automobile, and similar exponents of this new era are not the worst of our troubles." Dean Kimball said in part. "Deeply buried under them and responsible for their production are many basic industrial changes inherent in our new methods. Handicraft production and all that goes with it are dead in most manufacturing processes. Let us turn our eyes to the future and manfully attack the problems of unemployment, the unequal distribution of the fruits of industry, the problems of disease, universal education and what not that are the concomitants of economic freedom.
"These considerations are of particular importance to engineers, manufacturers and leaders of business. To these we must look, primarily, for any solutions of the economic difficulties in which we now find ourselves. And there can be no hope of help from them until they begin to study the economic consequences of these new methods and begin to realize that production alone is only one-half of their problem. The great problem that confronts these groups is that of distribution with its troublesome characteristics of business cycles, unemployment, business failures and what not."
