ATHLETICS
Finals will soon toll the knell of parting ways for some University students. A large number of departures will be from among the ranks of those primarily interested in athletics. Good athletes have an advantage in the average high school today, and because of the emphasis placed on athletics at colleges they believe the going there will also be easy.
Such is seldom the case. Certain scholastic standards must be met, several hours must be spent in argument, and a number have to work their way through school. Faw can be proficient in all three activities, and it is usually studies that suffer. Many have discouraged and quit before the finals. Others do instinite cramming, but usually in vain. A result many freshmen who have been developed for variety competition do not materialize as upperclassmen. They leave with hard feelings against the University. If athletes are to be encouraged to attend colleges, it would be wise to pay more attention to their high school scholastic standing.
PERHAPS!
Tade Styka, Paris artist and portrait painter, said that American women eat, drink and smoke and are the most beautiful women in the world. If Mr. Styka had stood out against the American women's habits, he would not have been so well played up in the newspapers. But he said something different and a bit unconventional. The distinguished visitor goes on to attribute the superiority to her charm, consisting of poise, wit, magnification and another indelible quality; he further attributes these qualities to eating, drinking and smoking.
It is hard to see just where drinking and smoking help a woman to acquire beauty, poison and magnesium. First, the nicotine of the cigar and cigarette is often detrimental to a woman's health; lines of pain and poor health surely are not beautiful. Second, liquor, especially most American liquor, if taken in any quantity at all, establishes anything but poise in a person, man or woman. Third, the odors and unpleasantness of smoke and liquor are anything but magnetic. Perhams Mr. Styka had best find something besides drink and smoke as the formula for the American woman's beauty. Perhaps!
TEA DANCES
What is the reason that the University authorities will not permit tea dances? What is their objection to such an apparently harmless sort of amusement. It seems that at once time tea dances were permitted to the students. Then they were discontinued and no one seems very sure of the reason why. The question comes up again because it has been rumored that a downstreet restaurant is thinking of starting them, and that if this place will be unauthorized for college women.
A tea dance is an unobjectionable place to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon. There is nothing in the University rules about women not having "dates" in the afternoon. The
AT IT AGAIN
Mr. J. Sage, editor of the Oklahoma City News, is drawing front page attention again for the unveiling of scandal of which most people had not dreamed. This time he is being questioned by the Oklahoma senate in regard to the publishing of rumors that money had figured in the sudden adjournment of the legislature in 1927, at an attempted investment session. This name editor is known in the newspaper world, and government circles as well, as the man who stirred up things in the uncovering of the Teapot Dome oil scandal.
He was an editor in New Mexico at the time the oil reserve was being questioned and investigated; time after time he had been put in jail for painting charges against lawless individuals, but he succeeded in out as many times as he was put in. Mr. Marge studied and practiced law before entering the field of journalism. With such a background he is fully able to move, take a definite stand, and fight for law observance with aggression, because he recognizes how to combat crimes and disorders when he see them. He is a militant man who knows what the result will be when he starts anything. Often he is quoted as saying, especially to the younger people, "Be sure of your facts and information before you start anything, then hit it hard."
So, now in Oklahoma City, he is again in court to defend bighare charges he made against the legislature of 1927. He has named witnesses with whom he talked before he published the editorial that made these charges, Mr. Mages usually knows what he is talking about and the outcome of the Oklahoma City incident promises much interest.
CHICAGO!
After a long reign of the racketeers and the haubens in her underworld, after a long ring of murders, threats and intimidation, Chicago has begun a booth roundup. The Chicago jails house 3,400 prisoners who were either arrested on specific charges or hold as suspicious characters. It looked as if Chicago were taking rapid measures to clean out her criminals.
However, as soon as the courts open after the series of arrests, a stream of criminal lawyers file in with petitions for habeas corpus. The lawyers will find their jobs somewhat difficult for the time being, as Attorney John A. Swanson has requested that the judges take no actions on the petition until the police have had ample time to investigate the records.
Nevertheless a battle royal will soon be on—not between the suspected criminals of Chicago and the police—but between the policemen and lawyers of a certain type. A group of cunning, educated men will begin their work of trying to free the suspects, 3,400 of them. It seems that as soon as executives take steps to enforce the law, a flock of clever but unsurprising lawyers speeds to the aid of the lawless. Perhaps the system is right, but the law does have a hard time functioning against some lawers.

The Discoverer of Pellagra's Cause and Cure Was a Martyr to Science
Washington, Jan. 24.—Dr. Joseph Goldberger, hunger fighter and surgeon of the United States public health service, who died at the naval hospital here recently, was a modest, unassuming man who saved thousands of lives, but he was unable to save his own. Many times Doctor Goldberger risked his life, even courted disease and death for the sake of his follow men.
Doctor Goldberger was born in Austria-Hungary in 1874, coming to this country with his parents at the age of six. Brought up in New York's lower east side, this immigrant lad achieved the greatest public health research of any country within the last generation. His connection with the United States public health service started just twenty years after his arrival in he promised land, to which he contributed so much. His first work was the examination of immigrants at Ellis Island. Routine duty at other immigration agencies required that immigrants qualifications for research work were soon recognized and in 1904 he was attached to the Hygienic Laboratory at Washington. His connection with his branch of the service continued until his untimely death.

THE CAT-GYNE TAILS
In the Indiana Legislature a bill has been introduced which provides for logging on the back bake with a fire or by a rotting crime. Ten to sixty lattes are contemplated as a proper amount of chastening for various infractions of the criminal code. In Pennsylvania they are prescribed. Just an medical theology has become entrenched in Tennessee and Arkansas, so medieval mode of punishment are sought to be established by one of our airier Commonwealths.
There is no great danger that these crude weapons of short-sighted legislators will be enacted into law. Delaware will be required to remain the only state in forge-tion, for example, forgging. But the more fact that such bills are seriously offered in legislative ballo indicates that the state needs to take a tougher stance too far. If a legislative lobby should randomly decide upon this means of enforcing unpocket laws we might have a good shade of the problem. The evidence suggests with wells across their backs.

Extra-curricular activities are frequently proclaimed as good for the undergraduates but seldom do the professor get any mention on the subject. A careful consideration of the matter, however, would show that some form of outside activity is fully funded by the faculty member as for the student.
A healthy reason why final examinations should be abolished is shown in the statement of an instructor in the University who said that "fear of failure or an examination makes the student servile to the opinions of the instructor at the expense of the moment of his own opinions and ideas."

The student in order to avoid blinking an examination will memorize the test questions and on the instructor and will on the final hand back, the same ideas almost verbally.
Some professors get their outside activity by joining clubs, lodges, or groups to develop their minds. The Yale University chapter of the American Association of University Professors encourages faculty members are forced by economic pressure to work at "acute-academic" jobs when not engaged in them.
STEREOTYPED MINDS
There is something wrong with our examination; system when this is the case, it should not be so dependent upon the grade of the final examination. Students should be taught to think for themselves, even though they disagree with those of the instructor. The great purpose of the examination is to enable an independent thinker and to teach him to incorporate the knowledge to the best of his advantage. The system allows them to afraid to think because they might flunk a course and bose a few hours.
A salary scale which necessitates odd jobs of a "tedious and otherwise impolite character, such as the manager or other executive" any educational system in that it prevents the professor from enjoying the outside activities of a recreational group.
Doctor Goldbergher's greatest contribution to science and to humanity is the development of the disease and prevention of pellagra. This disease was not recognized in our country until 1907, but it had been identified for over a century years. Other scientists had theories and looked for germs and written countless treaties on the subjects, to

through the South, his pinching into orphanages and priests and asylum, is one of the dramatic chapters of a history that he knows something about how epidemics,知养 something of the structure of living organisms and what they need to keep them alive and healthy, is affected by disease germs and their activities. Doctor Goldberger had a decided advantage over earlier investigators of poliomyelitis, one another more narrow viewpoint. His vision was broader and benener. So that he saw the glass of milk and candle in the dark course, it tray differed from her patient's in some of the syphilis. He saw the remarkable fact that in 1854 there were no children from 6 to 12 years, too bad for babies' milk and too small to carn neat by doing chores, who were affected with the red rash, both adults and gangling nerves of ellarra.
Lack of fresh proteins in the diet causes pellagra. Adding milk and fresh meat to the diet will cure it or even kill it. Goldberger was convinced of this in 1915 but it took him years to prove it to a medical朋友. First he told her that it was merely a seven clever volunteer; through feeding them a diet lacking in fresh meat and milk but otherwise subnormal, they became sick. So he raised his life, even times, and that of his loyal wife and fellow-workers to prove that pellagra is not caused by the skin or intestinal discharges. This brave party allowed themselves to be injected with blood and with material from the sore skins of dying pellagra.
Doctor Goldberger, however much he loved humanity, also knew it well. He worked with the police for the poverty stricken inhabitants of the South West pro-political. So he searched and searched, trying to find people who were victims of the polligera-preventive, which he called P-II. Finally he was able to save the lives of the victims of the Mississippi flood in 1927. A small amount of money from the relief dried wet wall cure and prevent polligera.

ing when taken in two months ago. The pellagra research was not Doctor Goldberger's only contribution to the work; his research also included methods of transmission of the straw mite disease. He worked on yellow fever, dense fever and diphtheria. He and a colleague were able to transmit the virus in humans. He threw light on the period of incubation and infectivity of the disease. He assisted with the influenza studies in which a few attempts to transmit the disease from person to person were made.
Trendentially important were his studies of typhus fever, which he conceived to be a disease that was able to show that the typhus fever of New Mexico was the same as the typhus fever of other places known to be prevalent in New York and certain other places in the United States.

As Others See It
CHICAGO MILK WAR
Milk producers have demanded a higher price in Chicago for their product. The distributors declined to meet the demands and there the milk manufacturers naturally have a right to do as they please with their milk. The distributors have a right to obtain supplies from other farmers, so they liver it to the public. The only standard that must be maintained is that of purity. Somebody has contaminated the milk with kerosene. One driver was pulled from a wagon and beaten until he was unconscious. Throats have been sore and indications that worse trouble is
abuse. The strikers say that they would not think of contaminating children with feces, or droppings. Drastic woken may be required to restore peace. It is unthinkable that the farmers directly cooperated with the milk that goes to feed babies but did not help the farmers in labor with the sympathies it is guilty of far more violence than the striker. Whenever it is guilty, punishment ought to be swift and public.
