Snooping Around

University of Texas students in the Red Cross Life Saving and Water Safety Club are unconventional, to say the least.
It has been an age-old custom with swimmers the world over to undress before taking a dip in the brink, but members of the newly-organized club have defied traditional habits by diving into the pool over at Gregory Gymnasium fully clothed, undressing while in the water, and then proceeding to take their swim. Before completing their swim the boys take turns toowing each other around by the hair and doing other things unfamiliar to the average participant in water activities.-The Daily Texan.
The Kansas State of '42 has its hazing scandals; the Kansas State of '80 had its gangs.
Listed in the 1879-80 catalogue among the graduating seniors of that year were three men with asterisks before their names. Contrary to the expected footnote, the three were not deceased; they had been expelled.
This drastic measure was taken; it seems, after the three, forming a "gang," pilfered personal property from classmates. According to a paragraph in the May 1, 1880, Industrialist, the stolen articles ranged from "a bottle of perfumery to a suit of clothes."—Kansas State Collegian.
They are thinking of changing the name of the school to U. S. Air Force Annex.-The Gold Pan, Socorro, N. M.
After receiving numerous calls and complaints of two suspicious lights being flashed from Burton Memorial Tower late at night, the police department dispatched a squad car to the scene to investigate.
Many of the complaints stated that "fifth columnists" were signaling enemy planes. Some of the awe-stricken spectators even expressed belief that it was some "campus crack-pot" playing Paul Reverne—"One if by land and two if by sea . . ."
But when police finally ascended the tower they found no "crack-pots" and they found no "fifth columnists." Two University physics professors were simply doing some experimental work with the bright lights.-The Michigan Daily.
In Texas another drive for funds has been added to the list that plagues every campus. The student paper reports the following: Unele Sam's soldiers and sailors need entertainment to keep their minds in shape, and University student and faculty will be given the opportunity to help provide that entertainment this week, it was disclosed with announcement of a three-day U.S.O. drive—The Daily Texan.
The University of Utah received a $5,000 check Monday from the W. K. Kellogg foundation, Battle Creek, Michigan.
The foundation, organized by W. K. Keilogg, cereal manufacturer, to carry on worthwhile projects, presented the gift to the university with the intent that it should be used for loans to medical and premedical students. Because of the accelerated program medical students must attend school all year round and are unable to work during the summer months in order to pay their tuition, and the loans were granted them for this reason. The Utah Chronicle.
Sugar 'Cures'
Minnesota Students
No Wonder
Minneapolis, Minn. — The health service at the University of Minnesota has administered standard cold remedies to students in an experiment to determine their effectiveness.
Some participating students, although they were not aware of it, took only ordinary sugar pills instead of the regular cold pills. They were asked to check whether the treatment had helped the cold.
Thirty-five per cent of those treated with sugar pills reported "improvement," doctors said.

(continued from page five)
ticiems—the difficulty indeed with the whole question of the relation of government and press in this regard—is this: that there is no clear agreement as to the responsibilities of either government or press. The traditional American theory th at government has no responsibility for the formation of opinion is not balanced by any comparable view as to the responsibility of the press. Specifically it is not balanced by any comparable view as to the responsibility of the press as a whole for the opinion-influencing activities of its various members.
One reason for the lack of any clear definition of responsibility in this regard is the fact the question does not present itself with any particular urgency in time of peace and that even in time of war it presents itself only in a war in which the campaigns are fought not only with guns alone but with words and not only on seas and deserts and farm-lands but in men's minds.
This country is engaged in such a war. Its situation in that war is perilous. And nevertheless there are minority elements of the American press which are actively engaged in influencing American opinion in
directions which lead not to victory in that war but to defeat.
States Problem
The real question, as I see it, is this: Will the American press as an American institution accept, with all their implications, the responsibilities which accompany the functions it has exercised so long, so courageously, and so well? Will it accept, as a consequence of its traditional right to influence American opinion, a responsibility for the opinion which results? Will it accept that responsibility not only against the open propagandists of the Axis but against those of its own membership who follow, consciously or unconsciously, the Axis lead?
This responsibility the best of the American press has already accepted both in word and practice. If the press as a whole will accept that purpose and the burden that goes with it there will be forged in the United States a firmness of resolve, a sharpness of resolution, which nothing our enemies can bring against us by force, or fear or fraud can ever break.
A Cappella Choir Will "Air" Tunes
The University A Cappella choir will make its final appearance of the year over radio station KFKU at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening in a 15-minute broadcast featuring two numbers by Roy Harris.
Besides the Harris numbers, "Year That Trembled" and "Freedom Toleration," the choir will sing "Music In the Mine" by Nathaniel Dett, with the tenor solo taken by Clayton Krehbiel. The choir will close the broadcast with the number, "Windy Nights" by Noble Cain, and "Beautiful Savior" by F. Melius Christiansen, with the solo part taken by Minerva Davis.
Eddie Firestone, Jr., and Billy Idelson, better known to radio listeners as "That Brewster Boy" and "Rush Gook" of "Vic and Sade," are students at Northwestern university.
The federal government will need 67,000 men with engineering training by June 30,1943, according to Dean W. R.Woolrich of the University of Texas college of engineering.
