Founded 1908 School Head Says Students Not people* ^Brisbane Disagrees "Students Do Not Function As Human Beings Should", Contends Vassar President Arc students people? This ambiguous question has aroused much discussion by collegians r throughout the country on the pro\ nouncements of President Henry N. t MacCracken of Vassar on one hand, and Arthur Brisbane, Hearst column' ist, on the other. "Students are not people", said President MacCracken, "because they do not function as people should. They are not influential, as they should be, in the management of their colleges, ! or in the control of public opinion." Brisbane replied: "Perhaps Dr. MacCracken expects too much from the young. You don't ask young robins to catch worms while in the nest. Boys in college arc little birds in the nest, freed from the necessity of thinking." Outraged, the University Daily Kansan branded the statement of Brisbane as "unbecoming a man who purports to be intelligent enough to write a daily column for the enlightenment of the newspaper reading public." "The erratic columnist should be spanked for refusing to recognize the fact that when students go to college they have left the home nest and very frequently catch their own worms, for almost half the college populace is self-supporting....", continued the paily Kansan. The Daily, at the same time, praised Dr. MacCracken for his outspoken indictment of college students as' social leaders, the editor taking the view that under-graduate capabilities are greatly restricted by those in control of society. "Students are the cream of the intellectual crop," declared the editorial. "In Kuropcan countries where that (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) U. 8.

"Red" Watts, of the University of South Carolina boxing team, fought his way to the second Southern conference championship ever won by a Carolina boxer in the tourney held at Charlottesville, Va., last week, whipping Leroy Sides, of . Duke, for the lightweight title. . The red-headed "Tiger" of the Carolina mitt team won this signal honor in spite of a badly injured right hand, full use of which he did not gain at any time during the tournament. Watts also suffered an eye injury in his first elimination bout which bothered him during his remaining fights. It was the second conference boxing title every won by Carolina, Harry Wolf, of the 1928 team, winning this honor in the heavyweight division. Rivalling Watts' feat in winning a i conference honor, was that of Red- | ding DeVaughan, who gave Reuben ' Siegel, of Clemson, at whose hands two weeks prior to the conference 1 meet he had taken a terrific beating, a sound thrashing for one of the big- ; gest upsets in the tournament. ; 1 ?j Point System Is Amended Athletic Association Provides For ' Lowering Requirements ?

C. Fraternity Key Proves Quality statistics Show Phi Beta Kappa Key To Be Better Than Football Letter Is a football letter or a Phi Beta Kappa key more desirable? ^ Here is a definite answer as compiled by Robert Sibley, executive secretary of the University of California Alumni association and published in the Daily Bruin. The Phi Beta Kappas seem to live longer and achieve greater success than the football stars. Of 12 Phi Beta Kappas considered by Sibley, 10 are still living, and all 12 have been listed in Who's Who. Of 12 football stars, nine are still living and only one has been listed in Who's Who. Should the undergraduate abandon his hopes for an athletic career and concentrate on pulling down A's and B's? These rather inadequate statistics seem to point to this conclusion, but, as the Daily Californian poiyts out: (CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT) Hughey To I is In Meet A1 Frank Bostick, left, and Curran Huj on conference marks in the high jump ern Conference indoor track meet at Bagley, of North Carolina, is a co-hol< jump while Hughey is holder of the st .
