Linegar Ranks Near Top On List Of Campus Busiest Men
High ranking contender for the title of busiest man on the campus is Ned Linear, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A.
---
Sleeping only when rememberes to, or can get around to it, Ned starts his new day about the time the old one ends. For him the eight to ten hour intervals so necessary to most of us for "knitting up theravelled sleeve of care" are conspicuous by their absence.
A love for people started Ned on his career of social work. He entered college with the idea of becoming a lawyer but changed his mind and switched to sociology. Since leaving school he's done only social and religious work.
His position as head of the Y.M. C.A. means running the campus' largest extra-curricular group, an organization of 555 members.
This organization is divided into smaller organizations which are subdivided into still smaller organizations. How he manages to remember them all is a mystery, but remember them he does. Checking up once, he discovered that there is an average of two and a half 'Y' meetings of some kind every day.
Besides being 'Y' secretary, Ned is also a member of the administrative board of the regional Y.M.C.A., an active member of the First Presbyterian church, a sponsor of the Lawrence league for the promotion of democracy, and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, national service fraternity. In all of these he takes an active part.
Despite all this Ned still finds time to be a good husband and father. The only fault he finds with his various activities is that they don't leave him all the time he'd like to be with his family. His family includes his wife, Margaret, Danny, two, and Mary Carol, one.
His idea of the requirements of a good social worker are gregariousness, patience, energy, and tac. Education evidently helps, too, for Ned acquired a B.A. in sociology, an M.A. in social work, and an M.S. in group work.

'America To Aid Indian Medicine'
"American aid will play a great part in the deciding and carrying out of the future of India," said Dr. Evelyn Misra in a talk on "Medical Work in the Punjab" at the First Presbyterian church. Sunday night.
"India is a country of contrast," Dr. Misra continued, "and the people are divided among themselves. This is the main reason India has fallen behind in medicine and education compared with other countries of the world."
In India there is one doctor for each 9,000 persons and only one nurse for each 84,000. Three of Dr. Mitsra's aunts were doctors and they those that she also should be a doctor.
"Our best hospitals," said Dr. Misra, "you Americans would consider shacks. We are planning, however, to erect a new hospital to compare with American institutions. 'Every dime from an American is one more brick for our new hospital,' is the slogan we have adopted." she explained.
Dr. Misra asked students to be considerate of the Indian students who are in this country studying for they will carry back their impressions of the United States to all of India.
"I have made many of my best friends in this country and I want my friends at home to know the Americans as I do," said Dr. Misra.
