Students College] Argument On Pro Grid Game Is Unabated With another football season ended, the everlasting question whether college football is giving way to the professional game en ters into the annual stock-taking. Three-fourths of American college students believe it is not, and more emphatically, they do not want to see their biggest sport lose in pop ularity. Yearly the pro end con of com mercialized football is discussed from all sides. President Hutch ins of Chicago leads this time with a current magazine article propos ing to take profits out of intercol legiate football, commenting that the SupFeme Court in a case involv ing gate receipts taxation has al ready indicated the game 'is busi ness. Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, although he admits in his book "Winning Football" that the sport is in a critical era, believes subsidization is declining and has no apologies to make for the game. Whatever the downtown barber or the sports editor may have to say often has little bearing on what the actual "owners" of football them selves-college s t u d e n t s-think about the matter. For the first time the Student Opinion Surveys of America have unified campus opinion on a na tional scale. Student interviewers from Maine to Florida and Oregon to California, in every part of the country and in schools of all kinds and sizes, have asked, "Do you be lieve professional football will some day become more popular than col lege football?" Yes, said .......%.......24.2% No, said ...............75.8% But although one in every four believes this is likely to come about, not even that many would like to see such a condition. Only 14.6% of the men and women attending collegea today want intercollegiate football to lose the campus flavor, the Survey points out. In the Eastern and Middle Atlantic states, students, 28% of them, think the possibility of professional teams gaining a greater following is acute. In other sections the percentages are much less. "College football already is semi professional-the trend is in that direction," a University of Colorado sophomore declared. And from a James Millikin University freshman Mickey Goes WEST!

Omicron Delta Kappa was or ganized at Washington and Lec University in 1914 for the purpose of recognizing leadership, promot ing the welfare of the University and creating better relations be tween students and faculty mem bers.

Gave Cheap'Rates Fees Were Low In "Old Days" Proof of "them good old days" was found today in a University of Scnth Carolina, (formerly Soith Carolina. College) catalogue, dating 1899. Tuition, it was. found, was $40.00, but was remitted in case of all who needed such assistance; which, today, this would mean "free tuition." Excellent board was advertised at $8.00 per month, while room rent, incidental ex penses, such as use of library, chemicals and minerals in lab work were free. The total necessary expenses for one year, exclusive of traveling and clothing was $123.00 when tuition was not paid, and $163.00 when paid. The catalogue also stated that the annual state fair and the increasing number of manufactur ig enterprises, furnished the stu dent with valuable object lessons, illustrating his class room studies. The catalogue stated that stu dents were required to attend church on Sunday and daily morn ing prayers in chapel, and law de grees were conferred at the end of one year. Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, Dean Emeritus of the School of Educa tion, was professor of pedagogics and adjunct professor of ancient languages at that time. --U. S. O.

Doc of bachelor of arts in 1906, hows An Infectinj Rate On Par With Non-College Group; 2 In .1,000 Blood tests of 78,388 undergrad uates in more than 500 American colleges indicate that 2 out of every 1,600 students examined are infect ed with syphilis, afcording to a re port issued today by the American I Social Hygiene Association. This rate i practically the same as that of non-college young people of the same age. The rate of infection for the gen eral population in the age group 15-19 years, based on estimates of the Public Health Service issued in November, 1938, is about 1. per 1,000. The apparently higher col lege rate results from the inclusion of an unknown number of students in higher age groups up to 24 in the present survey. Other findings of the recent sur vey show an indicated difference of about 15 per cent less syphilis among college women than among men, a difference, it may be noted, paralleling nation-wide prevalence rates by sexes. There is also a slightly lower rate among .college women than among women of the same age group at large. Little difference is shown, however, be tween one region ' in the United States and another for either sex, or between the rates for schools with large as compared to small student bodies. Blood tests in colleges, when given at all, are usually given to entering students-mostly freshmien -so that the great majority of those tested were in the age group between 15 and 19. Out of the 515 institutions participating in this survey 219, or ovr40 per cent, al ready have facilitie's for test.ng stu-1 dents. Of those giving tests, 89 per cent gave tests on a selective basis, while 11 per cent-actually only 23 schools-gave tests as a routine part of the physical exami nation. Because failure -to detect the of ten hidden clinical manifestations of syphilis is so frequent and be cause many infected persons do not know that they have syphilis and therefore do not request ex aminations, testing by selective method results in many actual cases of the disease among col lege students remaining undetected. Two-thirds of the college offi cials approached believed some method of testing is desirable. A fair proportion of the officials, as indicated by their replies, are still of the opinion that syphilis is bounded by class or racial lines, and hence think that blood testing is unnecessary in colleges. P~erhaps the noteworthy fact found by this survey is its indica tion that the majority of college ad ministration officials, however, are fast beginning to realize the neces Carolina Life Insurance Co.

This remarkable char- a acter, obscure behind the more pug nacious influence of the age, quiet ly carried on his private research into the realms of fruits and flow ers. Archibald Rosebush, being en thusiastic about his profession, and s a man of naturally high ambitiqns, k left his happy home and his six- e teen children, on January 1, 2999 a B. C., bound for the North Pole. It was his inherent desire to ex- u plicate and make clear to the scien- t tific world the effect of lemon juice t( on polar bears. Three years later, January 1, k 2996 B.

The list of causes included various common illnesses and accidents, and' one particularly interesting cause, the meaning of which is unknown- a "Visitation of God." New Boiler~ In Operation The brief interruption of heat in University buildings Tuesday after noon, which caused considerable comment from students despite the mildness of the weather, was due to the installation of a new boiler in the heating plant, it was ex plained by Dean John A. Chase, this week. Heating service was discontinued from 12 noon to 9:30 p. in., Tues day. Installation of the new boiler is part of the extensive repair and renovation of the University heat- - ing plant that was begun.early last summer. Among other repairs, new pipe lines were laid, enclosed in concrete conduits. Alio, the tee tering metal smokestacks were tak en down and replaced by the hand some new "monogrammed" brick chimney.

So fierce and cold was ie wind that even the professor's reat zeal, and will power froze up ad wilted. Rosebush began a % asty retreat back to Abysinnia. Due to unfortunate hereditary ircumstances, the professor had Kceptionally large ears, and the arder he ran thp colder his ears ecame. He-to use a well-known Dlloquialism-was in a spot. But ie professor, being used to over Dming the eils of his environ ient, and inspired by the instinct f self-preservation, quickly put his loves to his ears.
