Guide Right Is Slogan of Kappa Alpha Psi in National Campaign
Take Part in Plan to Improve Condition of Negro Youth by Education
"Guide Right" is the slogan of Kappa Alpha Psi, national colored fraternity, in its drive to further the movement sponsored by the national Guide Right commission. The Guide Right movement is an effort to direct the race in the lines best fitted to the individual.
The local chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi is making a determined effort to make this campaign a success among its members, neighbors of the city, Hugh Browne, secretary of the local chapter, is speaking today in the interests of this work at the junior schools and high schools in City, Kan, and Kansas City, Mo.
May 18 to 25 has been designated by the commission as National Guide Right Week, and an extensive campaign is being carried on by all the chapters of Alpha Kappa Psi throughout the country. During the week, the organization held with members of the graduating classes of high schools in an effort to interest them in the Guide Right movement.
To quote from the April issue of the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal: "Guide Right—what thing is more needed by the youth today, and especially the Negro youth?" Statistics from our universities and college libraries are attempting to master collegiate subjects when their bent and capacity call for other things.
"More and more the opinion is being expressed that we, as a race, are being educated in an in-paid manner. We are burdened with two classes, men and women in unleterted men and women at the bottom of the scale; the other, the increasing group of professional classes, the larger mass in between those two is neglected. To correct this, a Right Movement was created."

Outdoor Recreation Conference Opened by President Coolidge
More Than 125 Organization Invited to Attend Meeting in Washington
Washington May 22—President Coolidge will open the National Conference on Outdoor Recreation here this fall and last through Friday and Saturday.
The conference, called by the presi- den himself, records something new in the annals of nations—government recognition of the part that clean sport plays in promoting patriotism.
More than 125 national organizations have been invited to the conference, which holds sessions in the plenid new National Museum
They will be asked to establish an official American policy of outdoor recreation; a definite program w/ abc activities; and defend the president in future legislation.
Properly enough, the chairman of the conference is the son of America's most prominent exponent of the "strenuous life." Theodore Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt, who as assistant secretary of the navy developed the details of the meeting, has provided an inspiring list of snacks.
The other members of the president's committee are Secretary of War Weeks; Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Secretary of Interior Work Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of Labor Davis.
They will endeavor to co-ordinate all their activities and work to the ultimate object, as expressed by the American outdoor recreation. "To make available to the average American outdoor recreation, with all that it implies, and to preserve for our outdoor recreation (or our children's children)."
The work of the conference will be done by eighteen committees, their members appointed from the ranks of the best known authorities on horticulture and playgrounds, public health and other forms of outdoor recreation.
In carrying out that purpose the conference will consider formulation of an educational program, promotion of game preservation, correlation of private and federal agences, and formation of advisory councils.

The date rule will be suspended for "Undine" tonight, and for that event only.
Statistics Show Phi Beta Kappas Physically Weak
Honor Keys Fail to Unlock Door of Health; Brain and Brawn Not Together
Measurements Prove Statement
The average physical development of members of both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi, honorary scholastic organizations, is below that of the average students who are in their twelfth or eleventh grade. The competencies compiled by the department of physical education of the University. In comparing the members of Phi Beta Kappa with those of the average freshman the actual measurements of 28 men and 15 women were taken from the portraits or warments of 60 men were used.
In comparing the figures thus compiled it was found that the members of Phi Bha Kappa were higher than the average freshman in only four instances; heights, development of right forearm, and the development of the right calf. In all other measurements they were physically inferior to the average freshman, ranging 10 per cent to 20 per cent below.
A comparison of the Sigma Xi's shows them to be below the average freshman from 10 per cent to 20 per cent in every measurement.
Honor Students Are Mature
The charts that have been compiled show that as a general rule the men belong to Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi are below the average man in physical development. These men are probably further under standard conditions than those on the charts on which the comparison is based are computed from the freshman men of the University who are not of mature age and development while the members of these organizations are not chosen until the latter part of their junior or senior year and they, at this time reached their maturity.
"We are making these comparisons," said Dr. Naismith of the department of physical education this morning, "in an effort to determine the relation between the physical and metal development."

May Use Quartz Instead of Glass for Windows
Dr. Edward R. Berry, assistant director of the Thomson research laboratory of the General Electric Company of Lynn, Mass., has discovered a possibility of letting into houses real sunshine by means of window curtains to allow light out the healing ultra-violet rays, according to this scientist.
The ultra-violet light has been known to be fatal to the gerns which cause such diseases as pyrochoreus, infection, rickets and tuberculosis.
Quartis has not as yet been placed on a commercial basis, Doctor Berry said, but he was very optimistic as to its ultimate use. "I believe that everything now made of glass may be made from quarts," he said.
