Telling Is Not Snitching
if two people do something wrong, that the tacit understanding that they are to keep quiet about it, and on one if they tell them on the other, it is a case of "snitching"; in an Aran's opinion. But where in the world would you be knowing of another's misdeed all take steps to have it punished, on telling it not "snitching". The instructor must help, of course, and his attitude plays a large role in such any system, included Dean Arant.

POLICE AVERT A SUICIDE
Frenzied Student Attempts Life After Making Mistake
A. Boner, student in the University of Kansas was found in the men's restroom of the Liberty Theatre at 3:17 Sunday, attempting to hang himself with his oxford strings. Michael Mulligin, special officer at night who was up this particular day, happened to notice the strange actions of the youth immediately after he flipped off the screen. He followed him to the rest room and there foiled his attempts at self destruction.
When questioned by the police he would make no statements. "Why did you stop me, Why did you stop my?" he asked. After a grunting "Sdegree put on by experts he made this written signed confession." "My name is Alfonso Bocor and I am a senior athlete at the University of Kanaan. I am a great lover of sports, especially football. I live on football. It is my whole life, my whole existence. When football season is over my interest in life wanes, I attempt to keep my burning interest by reading football stories and old newspaper reports.

All students and faculty members of nearby schools are invited to attend the conference.
"What comes out of these meetings," she added, "is that he teaches people to lead Bible discussion groups. Although we reverence the Book, we do not connect it with the present-day life. Many people have been hampered by lack of Bible discussion leaders."
"The purpose of these meetings is to relate the Bible to every-day life, and vitalize Bible study, and emphasize the practical application of Jesus, which is the purpose of the study," she explained. "Miss Russ this morning."
Those planning to attend the conference or some part of it are: Miss Marie Rusy, Mary Lois Ruppelt, Madeline Haddock, Ray Routheys, Eleanor Hansen, Mary Harley, Ruth Terry, E. B. Shultz, Richt Hansen, Floyd Simonet, Edgar Williams, William Emerson, E. S. Smith, and E. P. Breakey.

James O'Bryon returned from Kansas City Friday morning.
"Several weeks ago I noticed news paper reports on a movie show that was to appear at one of the theatres in this city this week. It sounded like one of the best football stories that I ever heard of. I made plimsolls out of it and spent many sleepless nights of excitement waiting for the picture to appear in your city. The time came at last. I journeyed to your city and made my way immediately to the Liberty Theatre. I was one of the first ones in the house. I took my seat and waited patiently for news reports about what happened. What was to me the most thrilling football picture ever.
"The first titles were hardy; noticed by me so anxious was I to action, red blooded American fighting, tearing action. To my great surprise and disgust, I found that he had a bad hunchback of Notre Dame" was no football player, not even a red-blooded American. He did not live today, but before Adam's time, and was only a bell pulller in a country excited mind, my weeks of expiration, and I flew on a tangent."
Moral: Read more literature and less sport pages.
Copper Is Earliest Metal
Chemical analyses have revealed that much of the so-called bronze found in ancient ruins or monuments is not bronze at all but copper a rather high degree of purity considering the facilities for smelting the metal in those early days. This is especially the case with such objec tioned in the oldest Egyptian and Mesopotamian remains. On the other hand the bronze found in Sharmi ii are really bronze, containing about 9 per cent of tin. Copper rather than bronze, seems to have been the earliest used metal. Iron was known to the ancient Egyptians but was so rare and costly that it was used in jewelry.

Several years ago the rice growers in California complained to the federal government that wild fowl were devastating their crops and the birds seen damaging the rice. Investigation showed that the money value of the wild birds lawfully killed for food during the shooting season was $30 million, compared with the rice crop without making any account of the value of the sport as recreation. Unrestricted shooting was therefore denied, and the rice growers resorted to other methods to obtain the birds' fields during the closed season.

Mankind's noblest thought, its deepest aspirations, its richest contributions to the common life, its abiding satisfactions, all have been bound up with its religious life. Life at its best, either for the group or the individual, is deeply religious in the best sense of the term. K. U. has not meant at all what it might to the student who goes out without an enriched and quickened consciousness of the spiritual values of his own life and in the life about him.
