Lindley Stresses Mental Discipline in Talk
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY. MAY 18. 1937
"The young person today must think or starve," maintained Chancellor E. H. Lindley in an address to Topeka before a gathering of honor students from Topeka High School, and justices from the Kansas supreme court, guests of the Rotary Club at luncheon Thursday.
"I condemn the parent who sends a young son or daughter to college with the advice to make friends and learn how much time to study," Chancellor Lindsey is undertaking the purpose of higher educational institutions."
Throughout his talk he stressed the need for student recognition of the fact that the prime object of school discipline is to discipline and ability to reason logically.
Band Goes to Party
Two hundred and thirty persons attended the joint University band and Kansas University club of Kankan. Mr. Baker was the Kansas City Friday night. Gwinn Henry, new athletic director at the University, was the principal speaker. A program by band members was presented to band Bailey's band, rounded out the group.

Excavation for the building of a nurses' home will begin this week as soon as the state architect finishes the plans. Mrs. Watkins' latest donation of $30,000 provides for the building of this house, which will furnish more room in the hospital for patients. The nurses' home will be located south of the east wing of the hospital.
Sun porches, made possible by donation of Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins are now being built on both ends of Watkins hospital and will be finished by the time school opens next fall. The porches will be one story high, with metal roofs, and will be used as convalescant wards. The building cost $120,000, estimated by the architects to be between $6000 and $8000.
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 over Their Coffee?
Ann Arbor, Mich.-University of michigan students congregating in restaurants and plotting the overrow of the government was the painted recently by the Rev. j. Joseph A. Luther, dean of the university of Detroit, in justifying a recent ruling prohibiting students of that university to freest 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 contained on the grounds that there are no study halls and that the practice of studying in empty classrooms is discouraged, and that the rule to go is to a restaurant. The News reported that an academic student said that Miss Constance T. Maier, dean of women, has been calling women students into her office to reprimand them or "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 fat,' criticizing the faculty and talking about overturing 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."
