Business enterprises have felt this vital need and have opened the way for a close relation ship between the heads of in- stitutions and their workers. The Uni- versity is a business institution in a. sense and the necessity for coopera- tion between the students andthe ad- muinistrative officers is particularly keen, even more so than in any busi-, ness enterprise for, in the University the administration is for the students and their best interests and, lacking a thorough and complete knowledge of the student mind, the administration must fail in the true purpose of its existence. The purpose and methods of administrative officers, in so far as they concern the students, should at all times be placed before the Uni- versity because only in this way can a true appreciation of the adminis-! trative work be arrived at by those for whom it is primarily intended and the proper cooperation achieved through complete understanding on both sides. The University convocation is one means of establishing a common ground of understanding between all I the members of the University, and, as such, it has been edvocated by stu- dent governing bodies for several years past. Other steps must sup- plement the convocation to achieve complete unity of thought but thisl gathering is a long step in the right direction. The real trouble of the Un- iversity lies in the limited number of! such steps that were taken as the school grew in size.

FOUND INPROBE BY DIVORCED WIFE OF DAUGHERTY'S FRIEND TESTIFIES IN LONG SESSION MENTIONS WHISKEY AND PRIZE FIGHTS ON STAND Claims Husband Said Attorney General Made $180,000 On Carpentler Bottle Pictures Washington, March 13.-Whiskey deals, deals for pardons for a federal convict, deals to permit illegal show- ings of prize fight films, stock deals, and other deals of a highly sensational nature featured to-day's testimony at the senate committee investigation of the senate.. In a two hours session replete with thrillers Miss Roxie Stinson divorced wife of Smith, friend of the attorney general, testified that Smith had told her that he and Mr. Daugherty stood to make $180,000 through showing of the Carpentier prize fight pictures which they would permit. Miss Stinson followed that by relat- ing a conversation between Mr. Smith and Joe Weber, the actor which relat- ed to getting a parole for Weber's brother-in-law, "a Mr. Solomon" at the conclusion of which Smith told her Weber was awfully cheap and "wanted a lot for nothing." Whisky, she said, she knew had been withdrawn from government ware-t houses soon after Mr. Daugherty took office as attorney general but they soon stopped that because "because they got afraid."
