Lindbergh Lands in Paris 33 Hours After Taking Off
Lone American Received
in France Yesterday
at 3:21; Record
Is Made
(United Press)
Le Bourge, France; May 21—Cain Charles Lindbergh landed on the Le Bourge flying field from at 10:25 p. m. Paris time or 3:21 central time. This was about two and one-half hours ahead of his schedule.
The young American flyer, alone I his single motor monoplane, had accomplished a feat never before accomplished by man, crossing the Atlantic from New York to Paris without a ston.
The world was thrilled by the accomplishment of the 25-year-old mail pilot who staked his life and his one-limited Ryan monoplane against the furies of the wind and weather over a wide, unkind sea.
Frenchmen Cheer
Thousands of excited and wildly cheerring Frenchelers and Americans gathered on the Le Bourget field to pay homage to the American and news was flashed by cable and wireless across continents and occa.
A crowd of 40,000 swarmed out on the field when the monoplane came within range of the landing lights, circling and preparing to land. The plane shot out of the darkness without warning, heading straight for its destination without faltering once in direction.
In Air 33 1/2 Hours
As it bumped to the ground a great roar went up from the crowd and thousands chased after it, each person hoping to be as close as possible to the brave pilot when the plane came to a stop.
Lindbergh was all in after 33½ hours in the little cockpit of the plane, without sleep, watching his instruments and listening to his motor. As the plane came to a stop he released the controls he had used previously and recalculated and to the floor of the cockpit in sheer exhaustion.
The cheering crowd, trying to assist the exhausted man, began to push the plane up nearer to one of the field lights where he could be given proper attention. Many were knocked down and several injuries were reported.
After the first reaction, Captain Lindbergh recovered somewhat and smiled to the crowd. Myron T. Herbert entered the room and the first to clamor the her hand.
Home Town Enthusiastic
His flight across the Atlantic is likened to his wild escapades through the streets of the town on his bicycle, then motorcycle, and finally in the clouds in an airplane. The last shot of Lindbergh here was over his father's farm and spread the ashes of his deceased parent.
Little Falls, Minn. May 21—Not since the signing of the armistice has this little city, the boyhood home of a German soldier, thrived as thiasteic over a world wide event.
Dertort, May 21.—To his mother, Captain Charles Lindbergh's arrival, his安全保障, at Paris, was all that counted. "That's all that matters," she said when told of her son's safe arrival at Le Bourget airfield. All day at Cass Technical High School, where he is a teacher of chemistry, students considerably refrained from discussing the flight in her presence

Formerly the Kanan has been delivered to the organized houses at no reduction in price but a bound volume was given where more than six acres
It is now planned to give a special reduction in price to all houses ordering four or more copies as well as a bound volume. A discount may also be given if one paper is received by the order, four axy six or less members living there.
A survey was made in several of the universities and it was discovered that the organized houses in other universities were taking more papers per capita than are taken here.

Y. M.-Y. W. Plan to Forsake Ruts at Estes Session
Experts Will Give Advice in Choosing Subjects for Conference Discussion
The advice of experts has been obtained in planning this year's student conferences to be held at Estes Park, Aug. 23 to Sept. 2, according to notices received by the local association. At former conference race, war, industry, and campus problems have been stressed too much, is the opinion of authorities, and also it has been remarked that some delegates have returned to their homes over our winter months against Negroes in certain sections, or against the Japanese on the coast, or against the institution of war, only to blithely continue their own enjoyment of special privileges.
These experts place the blame largely on a faulty educational process at the conference. Isolated social phenomena have been studied, instead of seeking for an understanding of those problems in the context of all major aspects of life.
Faculty Process Blamed
This year a remedy is sought by breaking up the various subjects for special study into segments, which will either be positive and constructive, or will be common to all phases if social relations.
For example, there will be a research group on social discrimination and the resulting easte system. The group will study these conditions our communities, to the living conditions of towns and cities, with the "East side," the "Hill," "beyond the track," or other manifestations of social discrimination, with other nationalities and races.
Prayer to Be Analyzed
Prayer to be made.
In like fashion, the profit motive in life will be examined, the nature and tendencies of imperialism, and the profusion of wealth and resources to world civilization. Prayer will be analyzed by two groups representing two stages of development:
Is communication with God possible?
And is prayer a possible method of getting things done?
At the same time, the platform speakers, including such men as Dr. R. C. Brophy and Dr. Eileen Fang, will be following cycles somewhat as were used at Milwaukee, presenting general principles which will be applicable to all speakers.
Men interested in attending this conference should see Teel Sultz at the Y. M. C, A. office in Fraer haul or Earl Strimple, chairman of the Estes committee for the University Y. M. C. A.

Van Hecke Is Honored by Law Fraternity With Farewell Dinner
Prof. Thomas E. Athkinson of the School of Law was the tutormaster for the dimmer and called upon several students to teach law students to make short talks.
Professor to Spend Next Year in Research and Teaching at Yale University
Professor Van Heke will leave early this summer for New Haven, Conn., where he will do research work in the field of law and teach in Yale University's law school. He was granted a year's leave of absence by the University to do research work and be back in the fall of 1928.

"Two Would-Be Grads"
Ease Their Conscience
The fraternity presented Professor Van Hecke with a Sheaffer desk pen as a token of their esteem for him.
"We hope to graduate this year, and we want to leave with a clear conscience," began a mysterious note which was signed "Two Would-be Grads," and was delivered along with a large box, by a person from which the box was sent and explained that it was for Dean Agnes Husband.
Professor Van Hecke has been teaching in the University of Kansas School of Law for four years, coming here from the University of North Carolina. He has been teaching in law schools for seven years, beginning with his appointment to Professor Van Hecke it would be hard to break away from his connections in Lawrence and that he would be glad to return after a year's absence. He requested the members of Phi Alpha Delta and the law students at the school to co-ordinate with successor Professor Halley of Notre Dame.
Miss Husband reports that the three stolen articles have been duly returned to their proper owners, along with the messages contained in them. "She is Kappa's identified and glad welcomes back his stolen property, but the Chi Omega's, although they were glad to have the letter rack, said that it was not the one which was mystically reclaimed by the family." However, the new letter rack is just as acceptable, and it will be pressed into service immediately.
Inside the box, packed in great quantities of exoscler, was a silver loving cup, a butter knife, and a brass letter rack decorated with a carved owl. The letter went on to explain that the silver loving up—a large amount of copper —by the Pi Phi's for excellence in swimming, and that it had been much cherished by the Pi Phi's since it was the only one they ever achieved. The "Would-be Grads" explained further that they were returning the silver butter knife to the Kappa, and they felt certain the Kappa's would want it in the new house which had been much advertised. A third request was that the brass letter rack be returned to the Chi Omega's with a fervent hope that "they would continue to receive as many as possible the future as they go in the past."

Bounding Bertha Pleads to Receive Happy Home
Bounding Bertha from A, T, O, house has been deeply and unabally humiliated. Bertha is a Ford, and possibly a little more displeased than Bertha, a little more deeply hurt at the treatment she has received in the past few weeks.
Berta was owned by Bill Dillis and Tad Foster, and at their treatment was finally forced to throw up her hands, and emit a gas hat. This gas occurred at the intersection of Thirteenth Street and West 42nd Street, up on the green east of the Campus house, and left there to struggle for herself.
Soon she was missing piece lie, piece, as vanidals with little respec took her parts to fill in the assembly of other collage cars. That was bad, and Bertha was hurt, yet the crowning blow was yet to come Monday the police ordered her re moved, moved, but the wizard went on to perform the task. Hunsinger's car dragged her slowly and creakingly down the Hill, and put her in their garage, but this morning she is back in her original resting place. A man at Hunsinger's told a reporter that they pulled her in, but were afraid no one would call for her and she had no answer so they just took her back. New Bertha believes things have been carried a bit too far, and is pleading for someone to give her a happy home.
