ColdEpidemic
Shows Signs
Of Slackening
More than 1,200 students have been
affected by the current cold epidemic1
-of which . about 1,000 received
treatment at the Health Service-
since its start 18 days ago, Dr. Wil-
liam Brace revealed yetserday.
The epidemic, mild but widespread,
and of an undetermined nature, seems
to be abating, Dr. Brace stated. Few-
er new cases over the weekend, and
several empty beds in the infirmary
that has been overcrowded for weeks,
were signs pointing toward a slacken-
ing in the spread of the enigmatic"
respiratory tract infection.
It is believed part of the epidemicl
that is daily closing schools in lower
Michigan, recently.kept 50,000 Detroit'
school children home, and compelled
University of Illinois authorities to'
close three schools.
Throughout the epidemic health
authorities wereunable to determine
its nature. Some part of the respira-
tory tract is invariably affected, but
how to cure it, how it is caused, or
how it spread so rapidly, remains a
mystery.
CIO Leader
Berates Martin
Murray Requests Members
To Ignore_.Meeting
DETROIT, Feb. 27.-(AP)-The Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations sent
one of its standard bearers into Mich-
igan today with a final plea that
rank and file members of the United
Automobile Workers Union ignore a
UAW convention called here March 4.
by Homer Martin, elected president
of the automobile union.
The representative was Philip Mur-
ray, Vice-President of the CIO, who
sat in as spokesman for the Congress
when the UAW was negotiating some
of its -major contracts with the au-
tomobile concerns.
In a broadcast tonight over radio
stations in Detroit and Cleveland,
Murray declared Martin's accusa-
tion that the CIO was moving in to
take away the autonomy of the UAW
"is directly opposite of the truth."
Unemployed Youth Offer Easy
Prey To Dictator, Hutchins Says
Unless the unemployed youth of the
,United States are placed in schools
and colleges, they will wander the
streets until some demagogue offers
them a uniform, a gun, and lots of
excitement, President Robert M. Hut-
chins, of the University of Chicago,
warned in an article published in a
nationally-circulated magazine this
month.
President Hutchins declared that
our greatest problem today is to find
something to do with the adolescent
population until able to find work.
"The only solution," he said, "is to
put our boys and girls where they
will have to work with their heads."
"This means that we shall have to
buil4 local public colleges wherever
we have local public high schools to-
day. This will cost money, but there
is no better investment that any
country can mdke than an invest-
ment in brains."
Our present educational system has
something to do with the lack of am-
bition and character of some of our
boys and girls, President Hutchins
stated. He pointed to "football and
fraternities as peculiar institutions
of, many colleges that "do not have
much to do with serious issues."
"There are few colleges in the Unit-
ed States where students have to
spend more than their spare time
with their books. The work may be
dull, but it is not hard."
He strongly urged that our col-
leges be reformed so that students
will be forced "to demonstrate char-
acter and ambition in order to do the
work."
"Then we will not have to send
soft-charactered, unambitious sons
out into the world to look for jobs
they cannot get," President Hutchins
declared.
No boy can receive the maximum
benefit from education if he has to
do outside work to provide his room
and board, he said. He pointed to
an acute need for more scholarships
to be granted to needy students.
"This country is a democracy. The
people will get the kind of education
they demand. If they demand the
kind of education that gives ambition
and character, they will get it."

Notices
Notice: Attention of all concerned,'
and particularly of those having of-
fices in Haven Hall, or the Western
portion of the Natural Science Build-
ing, to the fact that parking of cars
n the driveway between these two
,.uildings is at all Mimes inconvenient
to other users of the drive and some
times results in positive danger to
other drivers and to pedestrians on
the diagonal and other walks. You
are respectfully asked not to park
there, and if members of your family
call for you, especially at noon when
traffic both on wheels and on foot is
(heavy, it:is especially urged that the
car wait for you in the parking space
adjacent to the north door of Uni-
yersity Hall. Waiting in the drive-
way blocks traffic and involves con-
fusion, inconvenience and dangeI
gust as much when a person is sitting
in a car as when the car is parked
empty.
