Choose Courses For Sympathy, Understanding
-LAWSON
Dean Speaks to Women on: 'What Shall I Take?'—Advises 'Study Well'
As broad an education as possible—courses which increase understanding, interest, and sympathy in fields other than those in which the student was interested before college entrance—and the value of never studying superficially, was stressed by Dean Paul B. Lawson when he addressed the Freshman commission at Henley House yesterday afternoon upon the subject "Courses in the Curriculum for
Asking the important question "What shall I take?" Dean Lawson has found two groups of people, those to whom nothing looks interested in the entire curriculum, and those who would like to take everything offered. To the latter group Dean Lawson advised that they take those courses which they would not get if they did not go to college, and those who hadn't introduced to new fields the student would gain an appreciation for them, and become the citizen of several new intellectual worlds.
"Study well," Dean Lawn said further. "For *I* do not believe that any one can take any subject seri- tive and be valuable to him some day."
He added later that new jobs are being made every day by those who through a good general college education have equipped themselves for living. "If you and I do our best to prepare ourselves for life, life will have a pleasant effect." Nothing has ever been perfect and the past can be tremendously improved upon," he said in conclusion.

About choosing a course Dear Lawson insisted, "No one can choose your courses except yourself."
He said that no outsiuder—not even mother, father, or professor could help a student with his own choice.
Dean Lawson has found that positions for women are increasing. Certain occupations are opening up in particular. The teaching profession is wide-open for newcomers, and will be for years to come. Those who want a better job are likely in demand are music, home economics, physical education, language, particularly for Latin and English teachers, and nursing. The social science fields are crowded but the mathematics field is demanding more students. For many years, Teaching positioned in almost all fields are becoming less crowded, and the demand for teachers is growing.
Personal: I wish to thank the person who sent the flowers to Peggy Morgan and attached my signature to the card after I had suggested such a procedure for one named James Stiele. I sincerely appreciate this attempted "build up" but wish to add that I shall not be held responsible for the flowers being burned by myself. However, if she really accepted the flowers as a gift from me, well, that's a different matter —

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 19. 1837
The Kappa Sig's have discovered that the grades of their pledges are decidedly below par and have put all of them under rigid "campus" rules. They are not even permitted to enter on weekends, but on week ends—it is a twenty-four hour day "campus" which will last until finals end. It is doubtful if this will be of any great help if the pledges are permitted to continue in school. If you do not have 'bottle target practice' for the windows of their rooms.

'Jobs Waiting Por Electrical Engineers'
PROF. WARNER
"It seems that none of the seniors of the electrical engineering department who will be graduated in the spring or at the close of this semester will have any difficulty getting positional position. Pretty sure a senior of that department yesterday."
Within the past two weeks four application blanks have been sent to the department of electrical engineer - Mr. Bassam - who are interested in working for the Phillips Petroleum company. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company sent in interview blanks for 13 electrical sensors. An effort was made to representatives from Kansas City or East Pittsburgh is being arranged.
Book Stores to Ask Identification Cards
Due to an unusual number of complaints regarding stolen books, the Men's Student Council has given authority to the W.S.G.A. Book Exchange and Rowlands Book Store to request students to present identification cards when bringing second hand books to sell.
Students in large numbers have complained about books disappearing in classrooms, in the Memorial Library and various spots on the Hill where books have been left unattended for a few minutes. They have carried their companies and claims to book sales and the personals of personal sales and purchases.
The book exchanges have been unsuccessful in coping with this problem.
The M.S.C. at a recent meeting, authorized this method of control and pledged its support to correct the errors of property among Hill students.
When purchasing or selling second hand books, students must have their identification cards so that a book they are buying can be made. Subsequent book thefts, by students or non-students, can be traced by means of this register and the book exchanges hope to prevent illegal transactions by this method.

Hope for Peace In Auto Strike Fades in Parley
Knudsen and Morten Fai To Reach Understand ing; Both Are Adamant
Detroit, Jan. 18—(UP)—Hope of quick peace in the General Motors strike disappeared in a 3-minute semi-conference between William Knudson, executive vice-president of the corporation, and Homer Martin, president of the United Auto Workers.
Knudsen strolled into the conference room at General Motors headquarters and slapped a paper down in front of Martin. Martin read it quickly. It contained the corporation's reply to Martin's three-point charge of "double cross" and contended that the company leave bargaining until "sit-down strikers" abandoned the two Fisher Body plants at Trent.
Martin and his adviser got up and left. At the door the strike leader exclaimed "present enforcement are ready" and the same as we unnounced last week."
"Sit-down strikers" still held the Fisher plant at Trent and said they would remain there indefinitely.
Krudsen said: "There can be no more bargaining until the plant has been evacuated."
The situation tonight:
Governor Frank Murphy, mediator, announced he would leave for Washington "on business." While President Obama said "some people" he did not name them. He made it plain, however, that he was not going to confer with President Roosevelt about the strike. He also planned to return to Detroit whenever necessary.
Statements by General Motors and the United Auto Workers after the collapse of today's negotiations, left the controversy almost exactly as it was before the Los Angeles peace conference at LAngle last Friday.

Texans at Odds On Big Salary For Dana Bible
Nebraskan Wants Larger Salary than School's Head; Regent Approves
Austin, Texas, Jan. 18. —(UP)—University of Texas faculty students, alumni and Texo officials debated today whether the University should pay the sum asked by them to come here as host football coach.
The price the coach of the University of Nebraska football team was reported as asking for his services was a $1,500 yearly salary and a budget of $2 million more than the rich oil-endowed school pays its professors, even its president.
President H. Y. Benedict was reported as objecting to this large salary he receives but $8000 a year. He admits that he never lived although he lives in his own home.
Luthar Stark, wealthy Orange Texas, lumberman, and chairman of the Board of Regents, said he favored enough to get Bille's service.
"The University of Texas is big enough to have the best coach available," he said.
The coaching staff is paid from auxiliary funds supplied largely from football gate receipts.
Both sides in the controversy marked time awaiting arrival of Bible from Lincoln, Neb. He is due here Wednesday in response to an invitation sent by the Board of Regents Saturday night. Bible was coach of the Texas Aggies when that school's team was winning from the University of Texas. Bible then went to Nebraska, where he has a consistent record of coaching championship teams in the Big Six conference.
