Professor of B Goes it Is big game hunting allowed in Columbia? Ask Dr. James Theophilus ?yij Penny. This worthy professor of Biology at the University was in the depths of despair the other morning because he needed specimens for his class in Histology. His advertisements for white rats had failed to bring results. His idea of dissecting a few of his students instead seemed hardly feasible. As he paced the laboratory frantically chewing his corn cob pipe, he suddenly heard a familiar cry. Hopefully opening the door, his delighted eyes beheld four uncomfortable cats, tightly clasped in the arms of two students. The cats had been obtained for the purpose of diet cycle experiments but like all students, these were glad to please the professor by surrendering one of their trophies. Dr. Penny joyfully slaughtered the cat and proceeded with his dissection. His joy, however, was short lived and the peace of the biology department destroyed by a very angry chief of police demanding cats. On investigation it was discovered that the cats had been obtained from an old negro woman who by some stroke of fate was in the employ of the local president of the S. P. C. A. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)'. The owner of the cats had told her employer that she had given four cats to some college boys for experiments, that's where the trouble began. At the word experiment the honorable president must have had mental pictures of cats hanging from the ceiling by their lails. Anyway the scientific usefulness of those cats was at an end. They were removed from the lab while Dr. Penny said that never again would he use another cat without a sworn affidavit from 'the owner that said cat was thereby deeded and presented to the University for purposes of dissection.

It is becoming more and more important in numerous fields and vocations. This is particularly true of teachers. During the summer school session, more than half the students registered in the graduate school were teachers." The total number of students registered in the Graduate school for the first semester of 1930 shows a decided increase over that for the first semester of 1929. The figures are as follows: Departments 1930 1929 Ancient Languages 3 1 Biology 1 Chemistry 5 4 Commerce 1 2 Economics 1 Education 49 31 English 27 26 German 2 History H 1 8 Journalism 1 2 Mathematics 5 2 Child Psychology 2 3 Physics 1 1 Romance Languages .... 7 9 Sociology 7 5 Special unclassified 10 24 136 122 bp.at ci.emson I HOUSE PARTY AT INFIRMARY The biggest house party of the month was held at the University Infirmary last weekend.
