Expect Earhart Back
On Purdue Campus
LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 8.-(~)-
Purdue University, which know
Amelia Earhart well, expects to se
the missing aviatrix back on th(
campus next fall.
Dr. Edward C. Elliott, Purdue
President, other faculty members and
Capt. Lawrence Aretz, manager of
the University airport, were unwav-
ering today in their faith that Mis
Earhart and her navigator, Fred
Noonan, would be rescued.
Dr. Elliott, ill at home with a cold,
told his family he was confident she
would be saved.
Miss Earhart joined the Purdue
faculty last year at the invitation of
Dr. Elliott who was impressed by a
lecture 'she delivered at Indianapolis.
On her office door was the title
"Consultant on Careers for Wom-
en," but she advised both men and
women students on career problems
She left the University last fall on an
indefinite leave of absence.
The metal monoplane in which she
was making her world-girdling
flight was financed in part by pri-
vate contributions from the Purdue
research foundation directors.
Michigan's Cherty Queen
ys its President
WASHINGTON, July 8-(P)-The
Washington tour of Michigan's Cherry
Queen drew to an end today after
an interview with President Roose-
velt, a visit to the Japanese Embassy
and a trip to Mt. Vernon.
Miss Eliene Lyon of Traverse City,
is returning without a promise from
President Roosevelt to attend the
State Cherry Festival, July 14, 15 and
16. However, she has personal as-
surance from the President he "has
a warm spot" in his heart for Mich-
igan.
The 15-pound cherry pie Miss Lyon
brought to the White House, the
President said, would be served at
his dinner tonight. He told her he
once ate a piece of "gift pie" while
assistant navy secretary and three
hours later was in Naval Hospital un-
dergoing an appendectomy.
Address Of Mrs. Muench
Now Milan, Michigan
MILAN, Mich., July 8.-(M)-Prison
dpors clanged shut today behind Mrs.
Nellie Tipton Muench of St. Louis,
principal figure in the sensational
"gift of God" baby case, ending her
long fight for freedom.
Weeping in contrast to the nervous
laughter with which she greeted St.
Louis news photographers' attempts
to photograph her behind dark spec-
tacles and a handkerchief which she
held in front of her face, Mrs. Muench
began a 10-year term at the Federal
Prison Farm here for mail fraud.
She was sentenced with three others
for using the mails to defraud Dr.
Marsh Pitzman, wealthy bachelor
physician of St. Louis.

1 For 4 Games
With Cleveland
Series May Decide Chance'
Of Detroit For Winning
Pennant
DETROIT, July 8.-(/P)-The De-
troit Tigers, refreshed by a three-
day lay-off, tuned up their bats to-
day for a long home stand that may
decide their pennant chances.
In second place-only a few per.
centage points ahead of the Chicago
White Sox-the Tigers open a four-
game series at Navin Field tomorrowi
against the Cleveland 'Indians before
encountering the league-leading Nev
York Yankees.
An announcement that Gerald
Walker, hard-hitting outfielder, may
return to the line-up tomorrow,
cheered the Tigers, but they received
some discouraging news, too, when
George (Slicker) Coffman, rookie
pitcher, was hit on the arm by a bal]
batted by big Hank Greenberg during
practice.
X-rays were to be taken to deter-
mine the extent of the injury. Coff-
man's right forearm was severely
bruised, but doctors said they did
not believe it was fractured. He will
be out of the line-up for about a
week.
Walker has not been able to play
for a week because of a pulled leg
muscle.
Acting Manager Del Baker said he
would send Elden Auker against the
Indians in the opening game. He
will oppose either Willis Hudlin or
Earl Whitehiil.
The Tigers will play their most im-
portant series during the next 18
days. The Yankees, with a five and
one-half game lead, follow the In-
dians here next Wednesday for three
games. Then in order come the oth-
er Eastern clubs-Washington, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia.

of Education from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m.
yesterday in the University Elemen-

ored the graduates of education who
are new on campus this summer.
Prof. Clark Trow, who is chairman
of the School of Education social

Assisting him as members of the com-
mittee, were: Mrs. Paul Remus, Miss

Counseling and vocational guid-
ance should now be an individual
service and not a group service, Prof.
George Myers of the education school
told a group of students yesterday in
the auditorium of the University
high school.
"New emphasis should be placed
upon - self inventory service, and
teachers should realize more fully the
exploratory value of their subject,"
he said.
The main points involved in voca-
tionmal guidance, as pointed out by
Professor Myers, are occupational in-
formation service, self inventory
service, personal data collecting serv-
ice, individual counseling service, vo-
cational preparation, placement and
follow-up and adjustment service.
He spoke of the opposition to vo-
cational guidance, and defined voca-
tional guidance as "the process help-
ing an individual choose, prepare for,
enter upon and progress in an occu-
pation."
