Study Hall Set To Open
L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, has announced that the proposed Sunflower study hall will open Nov. 17 in the 8th grade room of the community school. Hours are from 7 p. m. to 10 p. m. Mondays through Thursdays.

A questionnaire sent to 800 students showed that a study hall was one of the greatest needs at Sunflower Village.
'Parent's Hold Is Too Tight'
Breaking away from parental ties is a major problem of many young people today, according to Dr. Robest G. Foster, visiting professor of home economics and sociology.
Dr. Foster's second lecture in the Youth and Marriage series was presented Wednesday night in Fraser Theater.
Like Farmers Raise Pigs
"If parents reared children like farmers raised pigs for the market, our children would be more mature and able to make their own decisions." Dr. Foster advised.
"A child should be physically, mentally and socially able to leave home, and be placed on the world market by the time he is 18 to 21 years old," he said.
Dr. Foster illustrated the example of a young engaged couple delaying marriage for months and even years because they were afraid to sever family ties.
Character Differs
"The character of our society, families, and occupations differs from those of other cultures," he continued.
Dr. Foster explained that the type of discipline and authority given in early childhood affected the child throughout life.
If a child is to become mature and completely free from home ties, Dr. Foster said, he must be free from parental supervision, recognize his own security, develop his parents into friends, and make his own decisions.

Phi Kappa Had A Haven In 'The Castle' But Now They Have A Heaven At Home
A man's home is his castle, but the members of Phi Kappa, national social fraternity for Catholic men at the University, are thankful that is not true, at least, in their case.
The Phi Kappa's recently moved into their new home at 1120 W. 11th street and now, surrounded by the comforts of their three-story, English styled chapter house, they can re- reflect upon the past few months like pioneers who have won their way from log cabins to solid masonry. real estate Father Tewls
The University chapter of Phi Kappa was reactivated in May, 1946, and the members moved into temporary headquarters at 1127 Ohio street. They decided to buy the house on 11th street for a permanent residence and gave notice that they were moving by Sept. 1, 1947. However, contract negotiations could not be concluded satisfactory and on moving day they found themselves virtually homeless.
For a while it looked as if an exodus to Sunflower village was the only answer to the situation. Then the Rev. George Towle of St. John's Catholic church came to the rescue with "The Castle," an ancient building on the church grounds.
The fraternity was grateful for the sanctuary and 40 members set about fitting themselves into "The Castle's" seven rooms. When they learned that the new house was ready on Oct. 17, they were "packed and gone in five minutes," William Case, fraternity president, said.
Case said he feels that the $42,000 paid for the new house is not too much in view of the high price of

Rep. Bartel K. Jonkman, R., Mich., of the house committee said the administration has been so slow in getting relief delivered to Europe in the past that it won't be able to use before March 31 the $597,000,000 emergency aid requested for France, Italy and Austria.
Both Vandenberg's group and the house foreign affairs committee are conducting hearings on foreign aid.
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg asked William Phillips, of the state department's international trade policy office, if uranium would be obtained from the Belgian Congo in return for contemplated long-term Marshall plan aid.

Assistant Secretary of Interior W E. Warne, told the senate committee that the emergency aid program will "aggravate" U. S. wheat and coal shortages.
