Columbia's New College To Close Unless Deficit Overcome New York—(UP)—New College, established at Columbia University as a progressive unit for the in- crease of higher education and a looming battle for its life. Earl Oakes and Bob Clark, Kansas City, were weekend guests a the Delta Upsilon fraternity. After seven years, the college faced with a $77,000 deficit last year probably will close this June unless an unexpected source of revenue is William F. Russell, dean of Teachers College of Columbia University recommended discontinuance of New College in a report of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia. "We are confronted with problems which appear unsurmountable," Russell said. "We are convinced that only a subsidy of $35,000 a year can provide the kind of program we want. We cannot look to the students. It would require double tuition charges." Students, protecting the propose dissolution, sent two statements to Russell, one from the student body and the other from the faculty. The student body, in its statement, pointed out that 67 articles had been written about the book as chapters in books on education. The statement dis- The faculty said it thought the breaking up of the college would have "a demoralizing effect on American education in general and on teacher education especially. At this particular moment," when education is on the point of moving forward, New College could undoubtedly have an outstanding part in the movement. The passing of New Collegiate Teachers College as a leader in the education of new teachers and seriously damage its general standing throughout the country." Syracuse U. Has 'Model' Government Syracuse, N. Y—(ACP) —Syracuse University students are learning the inner workings of governmental agencies by operating a government of their own which rules over affairs on their own campus. Now in its second year, Syracuse's student government for men consists of an executive branch, headed by the president elected by student body in the spring; an administrative branch, headed by an administrator chosen on a civil service basis, and a representative assembly, composed of 123 representatives elected from campus districts. "This government was designed to meet the three principal defects found in student government, namely, 'lack of representative character, lack of continuity of personnel, and lack of training for real government,' said A. Blair Knapp, director of the Council of Men's Affairs, in commenting on the progress of the new plan thus far. Described by Mr. Knapp as the "scrimmage field of citizenship education," the system brings situations faced in real life within the experience and knowledge of participating students. That helps to challenge to solve such problems. Mr. Knapp believes, as the government grows: efficiency, the more authority will be granted by the university. "We are interested in inquiring whether, if this deficit were reduced or removed, New College would continue," the students said. "The given cause is not, in our minds, sufficient reason for closing the college." Engineers Cease To Be Unsocial Pittsburgh, Pa.—(ACP)—Engineers will no longer be unsecured, unlicliic and narrow as they have often been called, if a plan be worked out by Carnegie Institute of Technology leaders is successful. Sixteen selected students of the Institute are now spending a fourth of their time in a program which will ultimately require every student there to study the social sciences as well as technical engineering. Dr. Robert D. Eoherty, president of Carnegie Tech, believes that the complexities of modern life need professional men who can, first of all, grapple intelligently with intricate social problems. "Engineers who understand technology," Dr. Doherty says "must give more thought to the social consequences of their sciences. Engineering adds fuel to the technological flames that illuminate and warm the whole social community with physical comfort and convenience, but apparently it has not occurred to the profession that the flame, though beautiful and interesting, may yet consume us." The course now being tested will give students: A clear historical understanding of the parallel growths of science and engineering, on the one hand, and social customs, relations and institutions on the other. In recent years, this course has developed of social evolution, especially since the invention of the machine. It will give them the ability to read purposefully in order to make a critical analysis of a problem invoicing social and economic elements and arrive at an intelligent opinion, the reader has the capacity to use the English language to express those thoughts, and appreciation of English literature. Vigilance Urged By Cunningham Glenn Cunningham, assistant professor of education, told Kansas editors at the meeting of the Kansas Press Association Saturday that they should be wary of "those influences which today are trying to destroy the institutions Kanans fought so hard to maintain. - Track Star Tells Kansas Press To Guard Freedom And Independence "We should always guard jealously the standards of freedom and independence for which the pioneers gave their blood," he said, stressing the point in his talk on "Kansas Characteristics."

It was Mr. Rusco's first session since he became secretary of the association last fall). A Glorious Reunion of 2 Happy Stars! Gov. Payne H. Ratter gave a brief talk at the complimentary dinner given by the Topeka Chamber of "ommere Saturday night." Many journalism students and faculty members of the department of journalism attended sessions of the meeting, Friday and Saturday, to hear association members discuss current business conditions, ways and means of becoming more effective publishers, and a review of the hardships and good times of Kansas newspapers. TODAY AND WEDNESDAY Dr. A. E Hertzler, author of the best-seller "The Horse and Buggy Doctor," and main attraction at the meetings Friday, pictured the freedom of the press as a ghost of unrestrained oppression, or "opic wag" is "Smoking Out the Public." Former Governor Alf M. Landon, delegate to the recent Pan-American conference at Lima, was the prin- cipal speaker over a nation-wide hookup Saturday evening. Mr. Landon informed the editors that the address would be his only discussion of the affairs at Lima. 2nd Feature "All the freedom you've got is to cuss the politician," the doctor-author told the audience of two hundred and fifty Kansas authors, publishers, and guests. "The newspaper editor, for all his insistence upon the freedom of speech is as restricted in his pronouncements as is the physician . . . ethics and public policy govern both professions alike."

Sailing Along on the Rough Waters of the Matrimonial Sea RANDOLPH SCOTT "ROAD to RENO" Glenda Farrell - Hope Hampton News and "Passing Parade" Student Visits Her Professor; Learns How Other Half Lives A Dartmouth student has begun publication of a newspaper for skiing enthusiasts. Rv Ruth Saunders, c'unel Apprehensive and nervous, I rang the doorbell. Here I was paying a purely personal visit on my instructor, Miss Nollie Barnes, associate professor of English. Aside from conferences, professors seldom have outside contacts with their students, and surely it is rare that one is invited to call. I was not kept waiting as she answered the door promptly and met up a stairway to her apartment. Curiosity filled me as to how this woman was going about three days of my week, would arrange her personal belongings. A comfortable den with soft lights was just off the hallway. It was here, at an enormous desk, surrounded by easy chairs, that she did her work. It was an old desk having once been a grand plane from which the keyboard and "innards" (to quote her) had been removed. She loved carved wooden chairs or high proportions. Nearby stood one of the most beautifully curved wood screens I have ever seen. the quaint, stately style of Rodger L. Estrange. "It is from India," she told me proudly, and with small wonder. On the floor beside the screen stood a sprawling Indian basket filled with brilliant ears of squaw corn. Friends from an Indian tribe in the Southwest had remembered her with the corn at Christmas time. And around the walls, in an old heirloom secretary, on the desk and in every conceivable place were the things I had come to see—books. Authors in almost every field of writing were represented. She has a small, well-stocked library within arm's reach. I held a priceless set of first editions by Temple, Ackley, and Wendler; "Aince in Wonderland" as printed by the hand of its author, Lewis Carroll. There was a book of "Aesop's Fables," illustrated with lovely etchings and translated in After "oh-ing" and "aha-ing" over the books in the den, I was shown into the living room, where more books stood in soldierly rows. In one old cupboard from England, dating back to the 18th century, was my hostess' pride—an almost complete collection of William Butler Yates. When but a child, my teacher had picked Mr. Yates as her favorite author to collect, and through the years he has proved a very wise choice. Her prize is a little volume, the edition of Mr. Yates' first book. Many other Irish writers fill the shelves of this bookcase—A.E., Lady Gregory, Barrie, and Stuine. Between nissection of a complete collection of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband, Robert, we took time off to examine a queen little drop leaf table of cherry and a big basket chair. An Indian rug of bright, flashing colors covered the floor. Then we sat on slen erhe Plehtewhite replicas and thumbed through the pages of dramas written in Greek and Latin, works of the brilliant family, Rossetti, and moderns like Robert Frost and Stephen Vincent Benet. Just in the midst of a copy of old English carols, I danced at my watch which suddenly reminded me that I was still a student, with closing hours to keep, no matter how much the "grand lady" I felt. But I hated very much to leave. I was at last beginning to grasp the difference between touching on the surface of college life and the really absorbing qualities of it. Here, in this little apartment, I had found the life of a woman, surrounded with the efforts of the greatest lives of the world's history. It made me think that night, and since, of the possibilities of an education. One can receive either a level pint or an overflowing measure of life at college. Hold Your Jobs Says Psychologist Cleveland, Ohio. — (GUP) Just why the grass grows oneress on the other side of the fence is the problem confronting psychologists in Clevens-Brooklyn and elsewhere. People think they should be doing a different and more important job. "Actually, most of them are better off doing the job they have," said Jay L. Otsis, professor in the psychology department. The best cure for this yearning for far fields? An accountant who wishes to be a doctor, for example, in most cases is found to be more suited for it than a doctor who has submitted to actual scientific tests. A promotion or pay rise will work miracles, scientists say. Psychologists have found that an injudicious promotion may do great harm, however. Again comes that jolly planning time for those who can leave dreary winter cold behind and enjoy the mellow-warmth of Southern Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

Every school boy knows the story of Abraham Lincoln. Few college graduates take time to think of what odds he overcame to become President. In the above illustration the artist crystallizes the historical legend which was an important factor of Lincoln's growth. He studied persistently in the unsteady light from flames in a fire-place. Had Lincoln been of less-hardy mold his eyesight might have failed him at an early age. But his whole life was bound up in hardships—akin to the age. In 1939 the luxuries of a luckier Lincoln are commonplace or necessity. Our light comes from lamps of scientific eye-ease construction. Through one medium, another product of the progress of our age, such former luxuries are made universal because they fall in a price range most of us can pay. That medium is advertising. Advertising is the blood of large scale production which allows low cost on goods. Modern men may ride the crest of progress already made toward Shangri-Las only dreamed of by Lincolns.
