Edu- cation school professors are taking 'lessons in a begnmers' swimming class! Environment at the school of Education has prevailed upon a number of professors who have re- verted to the primary grades in at least one subject. Word comes from the intramur 1 building pool that Education school'professors are at- tending a class in Beginner's swim- nming. The group, which meets under the direction of Coach Matt Mann from 11:30 to 12 o'clock Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the tank of the Intramural building, varies in number from 6 to 10, apparently according to the temperature of the water. Most of the men are in the School of Education, which claims credit for having taken the initiative in organization. "They are a very promising bunch of swimmers,' stated Coach Mann when pressed for an opinion. "The top-notcher is undoubtedly Prof. Arthur Moehlman." Questioned about this point, an- other member of, the group ad- mitted that Professor Moehlman had been able to swim before enter- ing the class. FRANCE1 TO FAVOR 'NAVAL REOUtTIONS Mr. and Mrs'.

PARIS, Jan. 2l.- (P)-When France sits in at the Disarmament Conference next month, the Asso- ciated Press was informed today in an official source, her delegates will offer to participate in reduc- tion of Naval armaments. The con- .dition will be an acceptable prelim- inary accord fixing the ratio of Naval forces with- regard to the geographical needs of the several powers. This would mean irst, t h a t France and Italy would have to reach an agreement concerning their respective forces, an accord they have not yet been able to achieve. The French delegation will be prepared to approve any project for reducing the size' of battleships as fixed by the Washington Confer- ence. France still believes, how- ever, that the submarine is the best weapon for tl e defense of her coast. It is the French thesis that there can be important reductions in Naval or other arms only if securi- ty is guaranteed. And by security, France. means a guarantee of as- sistance for a Nation which is at- tacked, and of punishment for the aggressor. W. Pray, Student '45, Tells Inebriety Students drank and got ex- pelled from college even in the good old days, according to an article in this month's "Alum- nus." George Washington Pray, who graduated from the University with the first class in 1845 says in the diary of!his student days, "A lamentable and disgraceful affair happened today. John L. Chipman, a student, the son of Judge Chipman, about 16 years of age, got drunk-had the de- lirium tremens and came near dying. He raved like a mad man. How lamentable it is that one so young and with so many ad- vantages as he has should so degrade himself-and dishonor his family .. . . He will be ex- pelled."
