Speaking before the Michigan chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, national honor society, Dean S. T. Dana, of the School of Forestry and Con- servation, warned initiates that "intellectual chauvinism is just as possible as political chauvinism" and said that' Phi Kappa Phi, in recognizing the inter-dependence of all branches of knowledge, erect- ed no barriers between the differ- ent fields of learning. "With the increasing tendency toward specialization there is a very real danger that we shall build ourselves into water-tight, perhaps even thought-tight, com- partments. In our efforts to absorb all the chemistry, or all the politi- cal science, or all the minerology, or all the dentistry we can, it is easy to ignore our associates' ac- tivity and fail to appreciate its im- portance." MEATLEISS MELS Battle Creek Sanitarium Doctor Claims Vegetarianism Is Natural. "Obedience to the laws of Nature is the first and most important rule of health." With this statement as the basis of his argument, Dr. A. B. Olsen, of the Battle Cree'k sanitarium', at- temptedayesterday to prove that the method for the achievement and preservation of good health, involving vegetarianism, outlined by him was of much greater efficacy than one involving drugs, medi- cines, or other such synthetic means. Dr. Olsen's lecture, attended by the general public, was delivered under the auspices of the Tolstoi league at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science auditorium. The talk was followed by a vege- tarian banquet at Lane Hall, at which foods were served similar to MADISON, Wis., Dec. 10.-Co-eds at t h e University of Wisconsin complain that the speakeasies have become a greater attraction for the men students than the dance hall. Madison speakeasies are menac- ing student enterprises such as Un- ion dances and Haresfoot produc- tions because the students are spending most of their spare money in the "joints." Such is the contention of several stud'ents who head the various or- ganizationsi They say the depres- sion can be blamed for part of the drop in revenue but the speak- easies must take the larger share. Records reveal that both the; Union board dances and the Hares- foot production are not so popular as they once were and are nof mak- ing money. - .

Beach Conger, Jr. Campus politics are not essential to student self-government, in the opinion of C. E. Edmondson, dean of students atEthe University of Indiana, who believes in student government. "Students should have the right to govern themselves," he stated in an interview, "except in disciplinary matters. "There are two reasons for this. The first is that students incline to be too severe in meting out punish- ment to their fellow students. Un- der responsibility, they feel that drastic action must be taken in order to keep power and responsi- bility. The other is that the stu- "When important posts are decided by elections," he said, "it is usually the man who is the better politician that gets the job, not the one who is the most competent.". y He explained the Indiana system in illustration of his point. "Stu- dents name the faculty men andl students to a committee. This com- mittee, on which, the two groups are equally represented, then choses the members of other student or- ganizations who are to hold respon- sible positions. They also legislate on the conduct of student affairs." Thus, !while the students do not participate directly in the choice of the governing bodies, their partici- pation makes the system student controlled, while at the same time men best fitted for positions are chosen.
