Federal Union Exponent Is A Former Journalist
Clarence K. Streit, who will present his proposal for "Federal Union" in the first offering of the University Lecture Course at 8:20 p.m., Tuesday, in Hoch auditorium, has had a variety of experiences as a newspaper correspondent including 14 years with the New York Times.
Streit began his career on the Times in 1925 as a foreign correspondent. He started with a temporary assignment as ghost writer on Count deProrok's expedition to excavate the
ruins of ancient Carthage and explore the Sahara and the bottom of the Mediterranean for lost cities of antiquity.
This led to an assignment to cover the Riff War in neighboring Morocco. There his front line dispatches brought him a permanent post on the staff of the Times.
He was next stationed in Vienna with orders to cover the news in the Balkans. During this time he was spelled from Rumania, but has since been invited to return. Meanwhile, he was shifted back to New York City where he served on the telegraph and cable desk and did special reporting assignments, including the Numgesser-Coli story in Canada and the Guatemala, Salvador, and Haiti laps of Lindbergh's Caribbean flight.

This plan for bringing the new frat men of the university together has for years formed a part of the Phi Psi tradition. The same scheme is carried out yearly. Each pledge is identified by a tag on his coat lapel bearing his name and the fraternity to which he is pledged. The men then spend the three hour smoker in getting acquainted, drinking cider, and singing their various fraternity songs.
Dr. Anderson Dies; Funeral Saturday
Dr. Arthur J. Anderson, noted Lawrence physician 'and citizen, died at 6:15 this morning at his home, 715 Vermont Street.
Dr. Anderson was widely known and deeply loved on the Hill because of his work as physician of the Athletic association for 23 years. He never accepted a penny for their his services or the medical supplies he used. He made his service to the University a hobby, which he was able to indulge because of his lucrative practice. He also examined all of the students of the University free of charge and for 35 years did the same for the Lawrence high school children.
Dr. Anderson practiced medicine for 56 years in Lawrence, and on the fiftieth anniversary of his beginning practice here May 7, 1936, he was given a testimonial dinner by the citizens of Lawrence at which he was presented with a silver and mahogany plaque attesting to the esteem with which he was held as a physician and a citizen.
Dr. Anderson's son, Arthur S. Anderson, for a time practiced medicine with his father, but is now a major in the United States armed forces. Dr. Anderson's father before him was also a physician.
Besides his own duties and offices, Dr. Anderson served ten years as medical advisor and chairman of the staff of the Lawrence memorial hospital, was on the State board of health, a member of the Lawrence board of health, president of the Douglas county medical association, and contract physician for Haskel Indian institute
