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." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University. Copy received at the office of the Assistant to the President until 3:30 P.M.; 11:00 A.M. on Saturday.
