In four ne surveys conducted by the versities of Cornell, Washing- , Oregon, and Pennsylvania, it found, Mr. White said, that e fve per cent of the news print- was crime news.

'h first address of the after- n was delivered by Arthur E. 04, professor cif sociology, who e on the "Newspapers and the ake Problem." "'Thre are no unit causes of iime," Prof. Wood said, "that p e r a t e independently, and batever is the influence of the ress, it is exercised in a con- lexity of biological and social ' , all of which must be dd in any final account. ectin and emphasis in the n aionof n e ws stories renat t e r s G consciously orted policy with the press _s well-known that in s respects there are wide erences isplayed a m o n g qe newspapers of any of our r cities.

Wood recommended to the rspapers of Michigan the follow- principles for the betterment :rime conditions in the state: The establishment of charac- research bureaus in our prisons. The establishment of a central rd of parole with trained staff kers. The establishment of a cen- board of probation. The establishment of a cen- ized board for the purpose of vict classification.

Education, he stated, does not end with college, although organ- ized and supervised study may be abandoned, he added, with the last examination. "If the university may appropri-. ately supervise study during andI even prior to the college period, it isI difficult to see why it may not as justifiably take an interest iii the! welfare of its graduates to the ex- tent ,of aiding them in continuingI their intellectual growth." Alumni, however, arednot the on- ly adults who can and should use the university's facilities. "The university as the highest school in ou r system is the one to which most adults must turn for' instruction, and the institution is not doing its full duty to society if it does not recognize the education. of adults as at least a legitimate function. The alternative point of view means duplication of effort and waste of facilities." Another highly important func- tion of the "super-university," Pres-c ident Ruthven said, was the en- couragement of research and the1 services which follow from inves- tigation. He said that the function of investigation is now generally granted to the universities. "The hope of our society is to be found in no small measure inc the labors of scholars, embued with1 a love of truth for its own sake,1 to extend the bounds. of human knowledge in all directions regard- less of results. It is only in the uni- versity that these labors can be carried on continuously throughJ the .years, and it is in the Univer-; sity that the results can be accum- ulated and preserved as a vast her- itage for future generations."

Hayden, professor of political science spoke on the Manchurian situation. His address was entitled "Highlights of the Eastern Situa- tion." Prof. Hayden explained that there is a great natural enmity be- tween the Japanese and Chinese. "Japan," Prof. Hayden said, has a good military grip on Manchuria that cannot be broken, due to their powerful army and navy which can be put into Manchuria at a mom- ent's notice. Japan has abso- lute control of the eastern seas and Russia cannot fight at the far end of the Trans-Siberian -railroad." speaking of the first two debates of the season, held Wednesday af- ternoon and night, with Albion col- lege. In the no-decision debates, Mc- Burney said, the two Michigan teams revealed their mastery of the question and their ability to uphold their sides of the argument. Al- though these debates were no real tests for the Michigan team, be- cause Albion's late starting debat- ing season made them less prepared for the meet than Michigan, var- sity debaters were given ample op- portunity to exert themselves to the utmost.

WISCONSIN LOST AND FOUND BUREAU HANDLES MISCELLANY IN BIG WAY By Karl Seiffert i, The University of Wisconsin is a wonderful institution. Of course the University of Mich- igan is a wonderful place, too, but Wisconsin has at least one depart- ment that far outshines anything Michigan can offer. The University Lost and Found office in Madison really does things. The Daily Cardinal, which publish- es a weekly official report of stock on hand, reveals the fact that the bureau retrieved a total of 28 mis- cellaneous articles from November 11 to November 17. Tabulated under the heads of "Pins, Jewelry, and Miscellaneous," "Clothing," and "Books," the bu- reau is holding everything from a case of dissecting tools to a "visor," whatever a visor may be, in the o chance that someone will come in and present a claim for the lost goods. But it isn't as easy as all that- no, sir - you have to be able to identify anything you want to take home with you, which, in the case of a set of dissecting! tools, would certainly prevent anyone but a medic, at least, from illegally ab- sconding with the article in ques- tion. Under the "Pins-Jewelry" head there is actually only one pin list- ed, but there are enough other things to make up for the lack of jewelry. Beside the dissecting tools and the visor, the bureau is holding a cigarette lighter, a fountain pen, a pencil, a purse, and a necklace, the last probably being the excuse for establishing a jewelry depart- ment. The. prize package of the lot comes in the book department, .where one finds that, aside from the common notebook and copies of "A Short Table of Integrals," the kind of books the average student loses track of are Keats' poetical works and More's "Utopia,"- all of which isn't so hard to understand.
