College President Blasts 'Cream Puff' Education Methods
Salt Lake City, Utah.—(UP)—Ninety-four years after he came down with the illness, physicians finally have diagnosed the mysterious fever which afflicted Brigham Young at the time of the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.
Dr. William M. McKay, acting Utah health commissioner, disclosed that intensive research and much careful examination of the daily journals kept by some of Young's companions indicated the Mormon leader suffered from Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
The disease was unknown at that time and it was only Young's strong constitution which enabled him to survive the ailment, Doctor McKay believes.

Movie Slides Show Union Wing Plans
"Every one is invited to come and urged to take part in the discussion," said Henry Werner, adviser of men, this morning extending an invitation to the showing of slides on the proposed Memorial Union building plans.
The slides will be shown at 4:30 p. m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. They were made by Oren Bingham of the photographic bureau from the blue print plans drawn up by George Beal, professor of architecture.
The slides show plans of all of the proposed additions to the new wing. Included in these additions are an extension of the ballroom with a terrace for dancing overlooking the valley, a bowling alley, pool and ping pong rooms, a dine' and dance hangout, a browsing room, and a larger music room.
Terrace Dancing in Future
Of special interest to all members of Hill organizations will be the slides of proposed committee rooms, office rooms, and private dining rooms.
These will be put in at the requests of many groups who have been unable to have proper accommodations for meetings in past years.
Discussion of Plans
Open discussion will follow the showing of the slides and everyone present will be urged to express his opinion on the need of additions already planned or the need of others not listed.
Invitations to be present have been sent to a number of the Hill organizations, but Werner expressed the hope that all interested will come.
The organizations invited to be represented include the Ku Kus, Jay Janes, K Club, Owl Society, WSGA, M.S.C., Pan Hellenic Council, Union Activities Board, Kansan Board, I.S.A., Sachem, Mortar Board, Engineering Council, Union Operating Committee, the six men's and women's residence halls, and the various class officers.

A representative of the Air Corps will be at the R. O. T. C. office in Fowler shops Friday to make preliminary arrangements for the visit of the Examining Board.
Blind Girl Student Sets Activities Pace
Storrs, Conn.—(UP)—For a freshman co-ed to make the honor roll, attend all school dances, take part in the school play, and receive a bid to a sorority would itself be considered unusual, but Elizabeth Hyde of the University of Connecticut managed to do all these things although she is totally blind.
Elizabeth doesn't consider any of her accomplishment unusual. She was only in the fifth grade when she became blind as the result of an illness. Doctors were unable to determine the cause. Her mother then learned Braille and taught Elizabeth her lessons.
She went through high school at the American School for the Blind in Hartford.
Says Elizabeth: "In my senior year there the superintendent asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I
Warning issued On Cream Puff Education Era
St. Louis-(UP)—Less "cream puff" teaching and more "intellectual spinach" is needed in American colleges in the opinion of Dr. Paul J. Ketrick, president of Loretto Heights College at Loretto, Colo.
Speaking at the annual educational conference of teh Catholic Sisters of Loretto here, he declared:
"Cream puffs have entered too much into the daily college diet, and you may be sure that some students are certainly not getting the right amount of intellectual spinach.
"Learning isn't an easy business," Dr. Ketrick said. "It's complicated. You can't just ladle it out between riotous week-ends, hoping for miraculous results."
The "rigid, lockstep system" of Victorian days failed as did the "football bowl, coonskin coat and pigskin head" system of post war days, he said. What is needed now Dr. Ketrick declared is "intelligent participation in a well-ordered education plan."
Draft Board
Dodges Cupid
Philadelphia—(UP)—When Albert Gaudioso sent out invitations for his approaching marriage, he sent one to the head of his local draft board. That's why Gaudioso will be married this year.
Just after the invitation had been sent, Gaudioso was ordered to report for army induction—two days before he was to be married. Sadly he called all his friends and told them it was all off for the present.
But Chairman Frank Massey of the draft board, who noticed for the first time after receiving his invitation how the army was interfering with Cupid, decided the army could wait.
As a wedding present, Massey not only postponed the date so that the marriage could take place, but gave Gaudioso an extra week for a honeymoon before reporting for service.

wanted to go to college. He said he would see what he could do about it and consequently I am here. I always wanted to go to college as my father and three sisters did."
Although she is excused from the physical education requirements, Elizabeth felt that she should have some exercise so she is taking swimming lessons in the college pool.
She enjoys dramatics and when the University dramatic club presented, "The Devil and Daniel Webster," she tried out and received a walk-on part. She stepped on to the stage and inquired, "Would someone like some doughnuts?"
Dancing is one of her best recreations, and she has attended all of the school dances this season.
The first few weeks of school her fellow students guided her from classroom to classroom through the maze of corridors and buildings. Now she has memorized them all, and needs no help. She takes her lecture notes with a special Braille machine.
Elizabeth Hyde makes light of her blindness and looks forward to a career as a children's teller of tales. She is majoring in English.
