LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1937
"The young person today must think or starve," maintained Chancellor E. H. Lindley in an address to Tepeka before a graduation of honor students from Tepeka 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 need to teach mindfulness of schooling is to teach mental 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 said. "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-

Rock Chalk Cairn
"To stimulate K.U. activity and personal responsibility."
The pile of rock is a symbol of University of Kansas tradition, history and ideals, as a record fulfilled by her famous eagua.
These are the reasons set forth by Prof. Frank E. Melvin, for the establishment of the Rock Chalk Cairn, which is piled on the side of Mt. Oread's highest point, overlooking the stadium and pointing toward the site of old North College hall.

With the destroying of the "K" a feeling arose that there was no permanent tribute to Kansas spirit on the Hill, such as existed on other campuses. The idea of a cairn at a campus was built from Oread's native "Rock Chalk" (Oread limestone) as the first buildings were, came as a re-

Dedicated May 7, 1926
The Rock Chalk Pile was dedicated on May 7, 1926, by Dr. Frank Strong, Merle Smith, Miss Hannah Oliver, and George Leis—the first student enrolled in the University. Sachm initiation was also held at the time, the freshmen voluntarily appeared in caps at it. The following fall an upright stone shaft was erected and the bronze tablet was mounted upon it with the following inscription:

Government Bears Expense
The Wassermann survey is being inducted at the request of the federal government as a part of a national campaign being waged by United States Public Health service for the control and eventual elimination of syphilis. It has been made clear by the federal government that it will undertake the exe-ience of "making the routine test in all countries" to include it as a part of the physical examination.
It is understood that the Admin-
ration desired a poll of student
sentiment before considering the ad-
ability of making the test available.
Test Serves Three Purposes
According to Doctor Camuteson, the est would serve three purposes. It would reveal a few unknown infections, speedy treatment of which probably effect their cure. I would also serve to make the student body aware of the problem of venerable disease and the possibilities of its control. The statistical returns were of be of considerable interest to the Surgeon General, through whose office funds or administration of the test would be supplied.
"The actual Wassermann itself is very simple," explained Doctor Catapusen. "A sample of blood is taken from an arm vein by means if a sterile needle; the test is performed on this specimen by laboratory technicians. Collecting the specimen requires only a moment and is no more painful than a fine pin prick."
It is expected that, with the final results of the poll in its hands this week, the Administration's decision on the question of making the test compulsory will be available early this summer.
Students Plot To Overthrow Government Over Their Coffee?
Ann Arbor, Mich—University of Michigan students congregating in restaurants and plotting the overthrow of the government was the picture painted recently by the Rev. Fr. Joseph A. Luther, dean of men at the University of Detroit, in justifying a recent ruling prohibiting students of that university to frequent restaurants.
Father Luther, according to a recent Detroit News, ruled that, "Mixed groups who leave the campus during class hours in cars or frequent adjoining restaurants will be subject to disciplinary action."
Some Detroit students complained on the grounds that there are no study halls and that the practice of studying in empty classrooms is discouraged, and that the only place to go is to a restaurant. The News reported that one woman student said that Miss Constance T. Maier, dean of women, has been called women students whose office reprimanded them for "going with" men on the campus.
Father Luther, when asked to explain the ruling, is quoted in the News as saying, "They (students) tend to congregate in restaurants just as at the University of Michigan, 'chewing the food,' criticizing the faculty 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 morning classes."
