They may talk together but rushees are not to be allowed to visit sorority rooms or to spend the night with a sorority girl.

He was born in Cherokee In at night his father would go < the farm from the Indians, w News Reporters Say Slouchiness Suggests Defects East Lansing, Mich.-(ACP) Reporters of the "Michigan State News" took a posture survey of co-eds on a Sunday afternoon in the Union Grill. They report a pronounced slouch on 60% of the co-eds and observeo "A slouch not only makes a woman look sloppy, it affects her personality and her physical wel fare. It's a shame that so many of the so-called 'cream of Ameri can ' womanhood' should carry themselves as if they were fright ened." The article goes on to quote from "State Board Questions and Answers for Nurses": "Question: What effect does poor posture have on one's mental attitude ? "Answer: Poor posture comes to be associated with the grumbling, dissatisfied and unhappy individ ual. Any effect on the physical weil-being will sooner or later be reflected in the mental outlook. Good posture suggests good breed ing. alertness of mind fearless ness, and an attractive person ality, although people may possess more character and desirable per sonality traits thn b-aring -di cates." In November, 1934, a poll of the student body was taken, and the average aite of the s.udeit body was found to be 20.6. Freshman men averaged 18.5 years, while freshman girls were a little older -18.6. Thirty-seven per cent of the student body was found to be 21 or over.

Dr. Lafferty says he knows only enough of the Cherokee language now to ask for for tobacco. He entered the army when only 15, during World War I, but two years later he was a sergeant major, in charge of headquarters for the defense of Manila bay and Subic bay in the Philippines. He finished high school and col lege within three and a half years after his return. Dr. Lafferty now says of his degrees, "I did everything in life because I was a failure. I couldn't get a job so I went to college. I still couldn't get a job, so I went to graduate school, and finally ended up with the d'egree of doctor of phil osophy." Dr. Lafferty said that he drifted into philosophy after beginning in theology at. the University of Ok lahoma and pursuing some study in psychology. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Aftei wards he studied for six months at the Sorbonne in Paris. On his return from France he became a professor in the graduate school of Lehigh university in Bethlehem, Pa.
