Seniors Make Another Effort
Officials Announce One More Valiant Attempt To Name Memorial
The class of 37 continues its drive to hang up a new record for senior class meetings, with another scheduled for 11:30 this morning in Fraser theater. The business of the outgoing class has been transacted in one meeting in previous years, but disagreement on the senior memorial called for a second meeting, at which only five seniors appeared.

Lindley Stresses Mental Discipline in Talk
"The young person today must think or starve," maintained Chancellor E. H. Lindley in an address in Topeka before a gathering of honor students from Topela High School and justices from the Kansas supreme court, guests of the Rotary Club at luncheon Thursday.
Throughout his talk he stressed the need for student recognition of the fact that the prime object of schooling is discipline and ability to reason logically.
"I condemn the parent who sends a young son or daughter to college with the advice to make friends and not to devote too much time to study," he wrote. "The purpose of education is undermining the purpose of higher educational institutions."

With the tabulation of replies to an exploratory questionnaire almost completed, indications were last night that student opinion is unexpectedly favorable toward a proposal to make the Wassermann test for the detection of syphilis a part of the routine physical examination at the University beginning next fall. A poll of one-fifth of the student body to determine their sentiment on the Wassermann test project has been conducted by mail during the last two weeks by several students under the di-

students Plot To overthrow Government ver Their Coffee?
Jan Arbor, Mich.-University of Michigan students congregating in restaurants and plotting the overview of the government was the picture created by the Rev. Joseph A. Luther, dean of men the University of Detroit, in justing a recent ruling prohibiting students of that university to freest restaurants.
Father Luther, according to a reptit Detroit News, ruled that, Mixed groups who leave the campus during class hours in cars orquent adjoining restaurants will subject to disciplinary action." Some E Detroit students contained on the grounds that there is no study hall and that the practice of studying in empty classroom is discouraged, and that the News report said it go to a restaurant. The News reported that one woman student said that Miss Connance T. Maier, dean of women, in been calling women students to her office to reprimand them "going with" men on the camas.
Father Luther, when asked to explain the ruling, is quoted in the news as saying, "They (students) end to congregate in restaurants at as at the University of Michigan, 'chewing the fat,' criticizing theulty and talking about overturning the government. They simply go over to the restaurants to get a couple of glasses of beer sometimes, which isn't a good idea for the turning classes."
