A suggestion to residents who owned wood or stucco bungalows, anything except brick, to move indoors was issued by the Long Beach rehabilitation committee. The appeal was sidetracked however when Will P.

'Constructive Action,' Is Conference Keynote
Three Hundred Students Discuss Economic Problems
Although the banks were closed and no one had very much money, 300 Kansas students met at Emporia last week to discuss and learn about the economic situation.
"Know the facts, form sound conclusions, and be ready for constructive action," said Professor W. E. Grimes, of Manhattan, in the keynote address of the conference "We must rebuild society upon functional principles," said Hilden Gibson in the concluding address that means the rights and rewards for teachers must be only in proportion to the services which they render to society."
From the first address to the last, a spirit of optimism prevailed. In the round table discussions, questions such as "What do teachers need to know?" "Education for the Masters of Nines," "Economic Insecurity and Personal Disintegration," "Invisible Government in Democracy," and "Religious Organizations; Bystanders or Participants," were discussed by enthusiastic individuals who were not afraid to face facts.
Professor John Lee outlined a program for a planned economic order. Some of his suggestions were "Eliminate unproductive methods of earning more money from big business, beautify the city and the country, and take the profit out of war."
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon made a strong plea for the support of university students in his campaign for a "wooler world." He said that one result of a true education is for a student to have knowledge in a great humanitarian movement.
"Charge off 60 per cent of all bills and mark it paid," suggested Professor P. B. Ross of Emporia, "and then buy the money in cash for pay and for what you buy."
Other speakers who emphasized the necessity of change were: Professor F. Lay, the director of the Chubb of Southwestern; and Dr. W. O. Mendhenbak of Friends University. The latter said that the condition of the world "depends on folks, not on things."
Mary Alice Schnacke, of Manhattan and Hilden Gibson represented the delegates at the last session when they talked on "Where and How Can a Student Take Hold?" Miss Schnacke should take part which the individual should take part in making conditions better, while Gibson encouraged group action.
The attendance at the conference far exceeded the hope of the executive committee, which was composed of Hilden Gilson, general chairman; Paul Earp, general chairman; Paul local arrangement chairman; burnham chairman; promotion; Mary Alice Schnacke, of Manhattan, chairman of finance; Stella Scurlock, regional secretary of the Y.W.C.A.; Harold Colvin, regional secretary of McCullough, executive secretary of the M.D.C., Ellott, assistant professor of sociology and M. C. Miller, of the College of Emporia.
