college varsity teams during the
winter quarter show that the ath-
etes successfully passed an aver-
age of 16.5 credit hours per man.
Only 17 men. out of the 110 failed

sion this year. There is at present

this unusual activity according to
Coach Craig of the university.
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA-
The physiological chemistry depart-
ment of the University of Minne-

metabolism machines and equip-
ment with which to conduct respir-
atory tests. Student volunteers
who are willing to forfeit break-
fast will be used as patients for
the experiments.
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
-Northwestern university feared
that it would have to either de-
clare an extra vacation or hold its
classes in the jail.
Sixty-seven students were arrest-
ed for traffic offenses one morning
and the drive was stopped only be-
cause there was no more room in,
the court room.
OHIO STATE UNXVERSITY-
Closer contact between the fresh-
men and the college is the aim of

cording to Dean C. W. Reeder, is
to be, "An interview with every
freshman during Freshman Week."
VIENNA, AUSTRIA-A dispatch
from the Neue Freie Presse con-
tains the startling news that 36
students were stabbed and 17 seri-
ously wounded in a street fight be-
tween Christians and Jews. The
fight was the culmination of a
feud which had existed for a long
time between the rival sects in the
student body.'
LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.--Recent
tests have shown that students who
are underweight receive better
grades than those who are either
normal or slightly obese.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Upon rec-
.ommendation of the Student Coun-
cil of Yale University, high ranking

pended from the University of

Italy Blocks Work
Of Alien Scientists
No Foreign Archeologists To
Among Italian Ruins
Is Latest Ruling
Dig
"The Italian government hasE
effectively blocked the attempts of
foreign scientific institutions to
conduct archaelogical excavations
of their own by decreeing that only
scholars of their own country may
dig up ancient ruins," declared Prof.
James E. Dunlap yesterday in dis-
cussing recent discoveries made at
Herculaneum.
The hard crust of lava, said Pro-
fessor Dunlap, prohibits very speedy
work, and the Italian expeditions
do not have the capital to com-
plete their work rapidly. There are
American, British, French and
German academies of Archaelogy
located at Rome, and their scholars
would be only too glad to assist in
excavation projects.
