Student Majority Places Activities Above Scholarship
Report Shows Many Thinl Extra-Curricular Jobs Do Not Injure High Marks
Extra-curricular activities do not prevent the average student from receiving a grade above a C. This negative answer was given by 192 students out of a total of 282 who were asked for a "yes" or "no" on the questionnaire. The statistics were made public by the school service bureau today.
The majority of students (172 to 181) and that they considered the taking activities more important than activities more important, than receiving grades above C in class work.
Opportunity to develop initiative self-confidence, and friendships were the most popular reason for the importance given to outside activities in our classroom. We also developed of wider and more varied interests; by 173, the opportunity to follow intensively the interests that are natural to me; by 168, training with others; by 152, working with others; by 119, opportunity of developing along lines of my vocational preference; by 101 chances to meet and know members of my own sex.
Faets Not Most Important
Less popular reasons were: opportunity to gain recognition or to develop leadership, special opportunity to render service to others, development of executive ability and chance to meet students' priority in community to meet both men and women.
In describing the function of a college instructor, the majority of students thought that he should be "an inspiration to one's own later investigation and understanding of a sub-field," but what a professor should be were "one who is a constructive critic but who allows freedom as to how to study" and one who "requires you to think and to know the literature of the sub-
The defiinition of a professor's function as given by 57 students is "the teaching of learning definite lessons for class discussion and administering frequent quizzes." Only five thought leaders can own his own point of view and the results of his study, and only 28 considered an 'impersonal source of information'.

T. B. Estimate Is Made
(United States)
Associations Have Campaigns to Find Active Cases
New York, March 13.—Just how great the problem of tuberculosis prevention in the United States really is, let us look at the statistics of S. Whitney, statistician of the National Tuberculosis Association, made public an estimate that there are 270,000 active bit unknown and ill cases of tuberculosis in this country.
"The total number of active cases both known and unknown," stated Miss Whitney, "believed to number 105,000." This figure is arrived at by multiplying by the num. last officially recorded number of annual deaths. Experience acquired during the nine years of the total number of active cases which can be unheard in a community bears a constant relation to the num. of active cases in that community to one. Two-thirds of these, or 540,000 are known cases, most of their under treatment. One third, or 270,000 are unknown cases, themselves, like the public."
"The problem of finding these 270,000 persons is now engaging the active population throughout the country who are entering on an "early diagnosis campaign" which will last until April 14, 2018, raised on the Christmas seal sale.

Sorority Sandwich Shop Serves Hungry Women
"Taking orders now for sandwiches.
Tonight we have beacon and tomato,
lettuce and tomato, two kinds of
peppers, a pickle, and olive butter—either plain
or toasted. And tonight we have a
special brown and white sandwich—
This is the call that rings through the halls of a certain security house where you are going to the rooms open, a girl in a starry white apron is to be observed passing through the halls with a pencil in hand. She sits on the dressing air. She goes to each room to see if the occupants have an order for her—that is, if the girls are not out and not inside the room. She signs her name of the kind of sandwich she wants on a piece of paper and whether she likes it or not. She signs her name, and the girl in the white apron collects these pieces of paper and takes them to the kitchen, where they go into the refrigerator. This girl goes back and forth, up and down stairs, and into the various rooms, taking the "orders" their grandmother gave them.
This is the way in which three girls in this particular sorority make some money and at the same time satisfy their philanthropic needs. Before this little business was started, there would be five or six orders televised in the show. There was confusion in getting the orders together and in telephoning them in. Then when the orders arrived, they had to determine who they were for and paying for them. Also, the toasted sandwiches were always cold and soft. The lemon coke always got a chocolate milk shake. There has been no confusion what they want when they want it.
As their business prospects, these girls are planning to branch out and serve cookies and little cakes and to drink as well as the sandwiches.

Kansas Wins Favor in Arguing Latin-American Policy
K. U. Debates Nebraska
In a debate held last night with the University of Nebraska at Auburn, Nebr., the University of Kansas upheld the negative side of the Latin-American question. The question was argued before an audience in Washington. The Kansas speakers were Burt Kingsbury, c$^{22}$; Rice Larder, c$^{22}$
The Kansas speaker were Burton Kingsbury, c'29, Rice Lardner, c'28,
and Ted Haugh, uncle.
The debate was one of the most hotly contested of the year. Ballots from votes taken before and after the presentations of the arguments showed that the kansas speakers were distal in their treatment of the question.
Of those whose opinions we changed, 25 favored the negative while 15 changed to the affirmative. The difference was one way or the other. At the close of the debate an open forum was held and there was much enthusiasm and
McMilian, Morrison and Gloeburg made up the Nebraska affirmative team.
Non-Stop Flight Delayed
Machines Not. Yet Completed for Proposed Trip
Tokio, March 11th. There is a possibility that Japan's proposed non-stop airplane flight effort across the Pacific Ocean, scheduled to start this spring may have to be postponed until 1920 if unforeseen informational enducators in Tokio.
The Imperial Aviation Society, however, has denied the reports while the Aviation Bureau of the Navy has said that the aircraft the flight will have to be delivered.
The first of the two machines being built for the flight, however, has not yet been completed and there are persistent reports that defects have been scheduled to have been delivered to the Aviation Society in February.
Meantime the four flyers selected are continuing their training.
There is a strong feeling among the supporters of the flight that if the Japanese airman do not make their planes, they will be destroyed as the Japanese feel an American flyer is almost certain to span the Pacific without stopping sometime dur
If preparations can be completed—and at this moment there seems considerable doubt—the Japanese flight may get under way during April.

All Are Students of Religion, Says Lewis K. Browne
Scientific Aspect Interests
People Though They
Are Not Always
Religious
Lewis K. Browne explained salvation this morning in the al-University conversation by saying, "The man who is going to be saved counts for something in this world."
Chancellor E. H., Lloyd said in an introductory statement that, if ten years ago, a man had said from the platform that men are insecurely religious, people would have laughed in his face. He noted that people were always curious about the things that happen around them, that happened in the past, and that may happen in the future. He said because of this many people are homophobic, but many young people are curious about religion in a scientific way.
All Are Students of Religion
Until recently there has been no study of comparative religions, but that they have been to contract religion. "Comparing religion with the worst of our society," Mrs Browne pointed out. He asked that his audiences forget for the time that they were adherents to a certain religion or bishops or scribes, and remember that all are students of religion.
The Jewish prophets of the eighth century before Christ, notably, Amos, disapproved of the mechanical ceremony of the sacrificial Mr. Brown characterized this as superstition or magic, and that time considered very radical, he insisted in the idea that God was interested in the every day life of people.
The mounds of Persia were necessarily a people without the banks, according to Mr. Browne, but into that realm the recoater who "The God of good is the only goat. He will make it possess him." The Persian may settle in one place, if you will labor for mansion, that which then would be your neighbor." Confession helps deceive.
There was the young Hinoi Gunmaus who left the empty life of a rebel to become a hero that he knew would be remembered by the learned classes who talked much and said little. He told them that wisdom more than learning was needed. He told them that they knew everything and believed nothing. He gave as one of his life stories, "I love you," he love in return, if he hates them, love nevertheless." "This was said out by a Christian but by a man 2500 years old," Brown, who quoted Contacqua, peraps the better known of the Chinese philosophers, as saying "That which taught me to love that that shalt throw us to do more than one."
"Religion is not the gift of one people but of one great spirit, reed in the heart not to borrow from another ancestor, not to borrow from beauty and truth in each religion." He advised them "let no man think that Religion is in the best in the world, each religion is in its own place, adhereents, who live up to the best that it has to offer. "Let us lift our ourselves above those walls and discover, that God is great, but not one God created us all?"
Santa Clara River Floods
Collapse of St. Francis Dam Causes Disaster
(United Press)
Los Angeles, Calif., March 12—
& coping a 60-mile path of death and
destination, flood water today raced
through the San Diego Bay and the beautiful Santa Clara River Valley. No accurate estimate of the number of deaths could be made but the data in hundreds. Property damage to in-hundreds. Seven towns and cities situated along the Santa Clara were reported virtually destroyed.
The flood unleashed when the Los Angeles aqueduct dam, crumbling and leaking, collapsed under high water. The high Sierraes, 55,000 acre feet of water into the river basin, caused flooding and dash to the sea. Buildings and homes were carried away in the terrific rush.
All bridges through the Santa Clara basin have been swept away. Rail communication probably will not be established for many years.
