medical profession and the advertis-
ing business.'
Credit institutions which are leg-
ally run, he said, are "strong" in their
desire for strict regulation to elimin-
ate unethical and illegal credit or-
ganizations.
The topic of "Regulation of Con-
sumer Credit", was further discussed
by Dr. Louis N. Robinson of Swarth-
more College and Prof. Nathan Isaacs
of- the Harvard Graduate School of
Business Administration who cited
respectively the facts that pride in
businesses should cause voluntary
regulation of- policies and that legal
reform in the loan business has been
inadequate.
Laws Aid Lender
John M. Scoville of Detroit pointed
out at the same session that most
regulatory laws passed thus far have
bene more beneficial to the lender
than to the borrower.
William G. Sutcliffe, director of
the Graduate School of Business Ad-
ministration of Boston University,
pointed out at a luncheon meeting
in the Union the final session of the
Conference, that education in the use
of credit is necessary.
Credit, he explained, is used today
for many non-durable goods which
canot be termed necessities. This is
bad, as it leads to depreciation of
purchased articles to values below
the amount loaned for their pur-
chases by finance companies, Sut-
cliffe added.
Books Are Given
By Kruif,_Sandburg
Seven autographed first editions of
books by Paul de Kruif, University al-
umnus, and one by Carl Sandburg

Years."

A Lincoln Birthday Ball, celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln and ushering in the
new semester, will be presented on
Feb. 9 by the local chapter of the
American Student Union, Robert
Rosa, Grad., president, announced
yesterday.
Arrangements for the Ball are be-
ing made by the social committee
under the chairmanship of Edwin
Burroughs, Grad. The program will
feature the vocalizing. of Margaret
Matthew, colored blues singer, and
a number of variety skits and mono-
logues, Burroughs said. Tickets will
be on sale in advance and may be
purchased from members of the ASU.
'Organize For Peace'
Continuing its activity to "organ-
ize the campus for peace and a for-
ward-moving democracy," the ASU
will send delegates to the Citizenship
Institute of the American Youth Con-
gress which will bring together repre-
sentatives of more than three million
youths, in Washington, D.C., from
Feb. 9 to 12, Rosa said.
Local delegates will present the I
findings of the Institute at an open I
meeting centering about 'the signifi-
cance of the new national budget, I
which reduces NYA appropriations to
college students, Rosa continued. Fol-
lowing this meeting ,the ASU will
sponsor a lecture by Scott Nearing,
former professor of the University of
Pennsylvania, on the bearing of the
war situation upon the American
economy.
To Issue Magazine
The second issue of the new maga=
zine of the ASU, "The Challenge,"
will appear on Feb. 22. On Feb. 29,
a symposium on academic freedom
and civil liberties, dealing particular-
ly with its relation to.the Negro-
will be held, Rosa stated.
With the opening of the second
semester, the Peace Commission un-
der the leadership of Hugo Reichard,
Grad., will resume its policy of sup-
plying speakers on the war crisis to
dormitories, fraternities, sororities,
cooperatives and other groups on

was inaugurated this semester, Reich-
ard said, has filled engagements at

Jordan Hall. The Peace Commis-
sion also plans to publish a weekly
news-bulletin analysing international
