Economic Inquiry Meets In Kansas City in June
University Professors and Student Leaders Will Attend
A Student Economic Inquiry will be held in Kansas City from June 18 to July 1 under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Councils of the Student Christian Associations and the Southwest Council of Student Christian Associations.
The purpose of the inquiry is to offer college students the opportunity to supplement the theoretical knowledge of the class room with first hand experience and observation of the industrial situation in our country. Such experience should enable one to render more significant service and better to plan his college course and future life work.
The committee and leaders who will lead the discussion on industrial, labor, and social service agencies include: Prof. Mabel Elliott, assistant professor of sociology; Dr. John Lee, professor of economics; Newman Jeffrey, 32, Philiners; Robert S. Cormack, an Otsa Brubaker; 35, student chairmen.
The plan of the Student Economi
Inquiry is to have the students who
are attending the meeting to come
June 18, and register at the headquarter
ts office and spend three days hunting
jobs. The seminar begins on Friday
night, June 21, and lasts through
the second Sunday evening, July 1.
The first five days will be spent in discussions under the leadership of the faculty members, labor leaders, employees and workers, and in trips investigating factories and shop conditions and housing, unemployment, and final situations in Kansas City. The last five days will be spent in an investigation of the palliatives and of the proposed cure for meeting this situation.
The total cost for a student will be very small, approximately $12, including 50 cents registration fee, car fare for the trips, and room and board. Leaders of this seminar will assist the members in finding cheap living quarters.
Anyone may join, including college students, alumni, faculty members, who

The groups are open to men and women of all races. Those who desire more information may see Prof. Mabel Elliott of the department of sociology who is committee chairman.
Student Economic Inquiries will also be held in Denver, Colo., and Houston, Texas.

It is the first time that many of the pictures have been shown here although they have been exhibited in Kansas City, Omaha, Philadelphia, and Provincetown, Mass.
The other exhibit is a number of bronzes by William Boydon, jee, of Provincetown, Mass. The subject matter of most of them is arctic and the work was done on an ice expedition the man, the famous explorer. The art is in stone, and has served in the army and the contguard. Others illustrate fables such as "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Fox and the Crane." There is also an anchor with a dolphin swarm around it, which was invoked the symbol of the Aldine press, a very 16th century Venetian peninsula.
