Although Dr. R. H. Wheeler has written several books on psychology and is familiar with animal as well as human behavior, yesterday his knowledge did not seem great enough to conquer him. His misbehaving dog. A passerboy noticed dog around the room and enjoying the air when out some Doctor Wheeler calling for the dog to come home. But the dog began running from yard to yard paying no attention to his master. The definitely angered doctor gave chase pointing his finger at the dog and yelling "Here Scott?" evidently trying to uncover the dog's game of chase and vacated the yards to scamper up the street. At this point the master gave up and watched the dog run—the passerby noticed Wheeler's lips quivering and tried to read them but blushed so violently that he harried away from
One downtown theater magnet is reported to have worked out a system which really gets work out of the $10 a week employee. The method is relatively simple—the merely gives each one an offer for example, a case-taker may be given to a manager, and with the high sounding titles the employees are led to believe that they are important so they work like slaves.
The Minor Sports class is going to study the fundamentals of wrestling and class members report that Kenny Postlethwaite is anxious for the class to get started because he wants to learn all of the "holds" that he can train to.

The Sigma Kappa's are reported to be getting plenty irked at being contoured with the Kappa's at every turn. After amassing enough energy to attend church practically in a body last Sunday, and calling up ahead of time to reserve pews, imaging their eyes going through this trouble to have the prescriber announce that the Presbyterian church was pleased to have the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority present. The Sigma Kappa's looked around, and seey near a Kappa present, surmised that it was again a case of mistaken identity. It was the first time he mentioned of this nature he forced. The orchestra the girls hired for their winter party turned up at the Kappa house, early in the evening, only to be sent over to the Sigma Kappa house after a little questioning. The girl's one compensation was the fact that during fraternity rush the girls signed Sigma Kappa letters by having their piece de resistance at a dinner, a huge cake, beautifully decorated with the words Sigma Kappa, instead of the more usual title.

Roosevelt Urges Lewis and G.M.C. To Compromise
Union Leader Virtually Abandons Hope To Settle Strike
Dispute
Detroit, Feb. 8.—(UP) President Russell has urged John L. Lewis, militant union leader, and General Motors Corporation executives to reach a compromise agreement on settlement of the costly autonomy situation with the unions tonight. Simultaneously it became known that Lewis virtually has abandoned hope of settling the dispute in the current conferences called by Governor Frank Murphy. He is said to have informed federal officials of a distant telephone today of the apparent hopelessness of the existing situation.
Lewis has talked to the President on several occasions since he came here to attend Murphy's peace conferences, it was learned. Mr. Roscovelt also has talked to William S. Clinton executive vice-president G. M. C.
in both instances, it was understood, Mr. Roosevelt emphasized seriousness of the situation and urged a peaceful and prompt resolution to the situation said to have pointed out to Lewis that Governor Murphy is compelled by his oath of office to uphold the laws of the state in connection with the court injunction ordering the strikers in G. M. Mcclants in Flint.
So far as could be learned tonight,
Mr. Roosevelt has not submitted a compromise proposal on which an agreement could be reached.

Squadron Insigne Designed by Crafton Appears in Life
Not since 1918 has Prof. Allen Crittain, department of speech and dramatic art, laid eyes on the insignia which he designed for the Twenty-fifth Bombardment Squadron of the United States Army during the war. It recently appeared along with 13 other insignia on a double page of the Jan. 25 issue of Life.
The imagine is in the form of an executioner, aaxy bloody and ready a desecred on some unsimpacting tiat. When a pilot brought down plane another nick was painted on the axe in full view on the side of his place. In this way one could ell an airman's skill at a glance.
The section of the magazine devoted to the activities of the United States Army presents on a double page a picture in color of a new type of bombing plane, recently ordered, with a press-faced top speed of 253 mph hour and protection of all sides by flexible machine guns.

Bishop Asserts Duty of Church To Guard Society
'Christianity and Social Action' is Topic of McConnell's Address
"It is the function of the church to give the prophet a chance to say what he has to say," is the belief of Francis J. McConnell, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the past quarter of a century, who spoke Sunday evening in the University Auditorium.
Bishop McConnell, speaking on the subject "Christianity and Social Action," drew from his wealth of illustrative anecdotes to show the place of the Christian churches in protecting human values. He traced the growth of the humanitarian ideal, showing that it is nothing new but that it was submerged during most of the 1920s. The bishop defended ministers who criticize the humanitarian conjunction without offering practical solutions, but merely the vision of an ideal. "The primary business of the church is to hold on high the great ideals of Jesus Christ," he said.
Bishop McCounell has served in his ministry of his church since 1894. At present he is president of the Methodist Episcopal Foundation for Social Service; he was president of Dae Paew University during 1909-12, was president of the Religious Education association during 1906-12, and is President Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America for four years beginning in 1929. He has written more than a dozen books dealing with Christian ethics.
Westminster a capella choir, directed by D.M. Swartwhort, dean of the School of Fine Arts, presented the following program: "Heat My Prayer" (Koppel), "The Lord's Lord" (Baldwin); "Send Out Thy Spirit" (Scheukly); and "Bell Amen" (Tearne). Charles McAen, fa3t, organist, played "Second Organ Sonata" (Mendelssohn) and "Tecsas from Suite Gehikhe" (Boillmann). John L. Hunt, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. presented the invocation in the Chapel; Boillmann, c3h, vice-president of the Student Christian federation, read the scripture, Chancellor E. H. Lindley presided.
Bishop McConnell was brought to the University through the co-operation of the University convocation committee, chariered by Harold G. Ingham, director of the University Christian fellowship. An informal answer was held at Westminster hall following the union meeting. The bishop will speak at the Topeka Community Forum next Sunday.
