burr to feature satire all senior managers to receive varsity letters in fall says director senior managers of all sports will receive their varsity letters in the fall of their last year such was the decision of col nelson a kellogg when he met in formally wednesday evening for dinner at the sun inn with 46 of the men who will be most closely connected with athletics at lehigh this year among these campus leaders were captains managers freshman man agers and assistant managers of all sports as well as the heads of lead ing campus organiations the col onel made it clear at the start of his speech that the purpose of the meeting was the beginning of his effort to reach the student body this group will form a sort of intermediary between the athletic division and the student body it is through them that the administra tion hopes to recreate the lehigh spirit athletics belong to the student body not to the director or the ad ministration said colonel kellogg students who fail to return athlet ic equipment are not robbing me but themselves i would like to see it become bad form for an athlete to keep equipment after the season is over he continued once more the colonel assured the group that no drastic changes would be made without the appro val of the campus leaders nor at least without their knowledge all pres ent rules were laid down by the now extinct board of athletic control and need not be adhered to by the pres ent regime after the dinner r.n lindabury ch.e 34 organized the junior managers into the brown key so ciety at this time the advisability of some

school fared better than most of the summer schools in pennsylvania according to a report from the state depart ment of education at harrisburg the report shows that the atten dance at summer sessions through out the state was 14.5 percent less this past summer than it was in the summer of 1932 figures released by dr n m emery vice president and comp troller of the university and direc tor of the summer session show that there were 435 students who came to lehigh during the summer of 1933 this is one less than the number of students who attended the summer school of 1932 the summer session was divided into two sections as usual the required courses in chemistry civil engineering and mechanical engin eering were given from june 5 to july 1 optional courses in nearly all departments of the university were given from july 5 to au gust 15 little change is noted there were 232 students who took the required engineering courses and 245 who took the optional courses in 1932 there were 235 stu dents who took the required courses in engineering and 253 who took the optional courses the number of new students this year was 34 and last year 34 there were 26 wo men students during the summer of 1933 and 30 in 1932 there were 34 graduate students this year com pared with 30 last summer the faculty was made up of mem bers of the regular faculty of the university with the exception of dr s m stoke professor of edu cation at mount holyyoke college who taught some courses in educa tion during the summer session the surveying courses were held this year at canadensis in the heart of the pocono summer resort re gion the students were quartered at four summer hotels classes were held in a large building and the surrounding country was used in the field work buck hill falls inn and skytop lodge large hotels in the near vi cinity of canadensis liberally ex tended the privileges of their faci lities to the students entertainment was provided in the form of tennis golf swimming and other sports those who attended the summer camp were on the whole very en thusiastic about it dr emery said in the opinion of those in charge it is a big improvement over the site of the former surveying camps he believes that sweat shops child labor and cut-throat competition are being eliminated declares that 30-hour bill would have brought chaos the nra offers the first promise of eliminating several poisonous growths in economic life and for that reason is worth the sacrifices of employers who have had to in cur losses in order to conform with the spirit of the movement stated dr neil carothers last night before an audience of 450 in packard audi torium at a public meeting of the lehigh chapter a s m e dr carothers believes that al though the success of the nra is not as great as was hoped it is however close enough to success to be worthwhile cut-throat competi tion child labor sweat shops and gangster controlled racketeer labor organizations are among the pois onous growths he believes the movement has gone far to elimin ate the sole purpose of the nra was to bring about a partial restora tion of employment decent hours of work and decent wages by na tion-wide cooperation he stated it takes the place he said of the 30 hour week bill which if it had not been killed in the house would have brought industrial chaos to the country eliminates doctrine dr carothers believes that the most extraordinary phase of the movement was the elimination of the doctrme of laissez-faire upon which american commerce has been built during the last 150 years."this doctrine of non-interference in bus iness by the government fanatically accepted by business men and adopted by the courts has been shattered and destroyed by the nra although a believer in the doc trine of freedom of contract dr carothers does not think that the nra will have harmful effects since it is only a temporary measure another extraordinary phase of the movement in dr carothers opinion was the nation-wide accep tance of the provisions of the codes he said that two million employ ers affecting 130 million people ac cepted the provisions and that the economic life of the country was changed in 40 days the depression he said hit bottom in february after four years of slack business the result was long hours in industry low wages and low consumption he believes that the depression will come to an end without legisla tive help but that it will be a long drawn out process the nra be sides bringing about a partial resto ration of employment has had a great psychological effect on the people of the country weary of the depression he stated fraternities will discuss plans for formal dance the interfraternity council will start consideration of a date for the interfraternity ball at their meeting in drown hall monday at 7:30 p.m other business to be discussed will include setting of dates for house parties encouraging enforce ment of freshman regulations par ticularly that of

the business meeting hawaii is strongly recommended by dr stanley thomas professor of bacteriology as an ideal place to spend a summer vacation dr thomas spent two months there this summer on a trip that combined pleasure with business in that he was able to observe conditions in the hawaiian leper colonies where the u s public health service is doing valuable work combatting that disease dr thomas was very enthusiastic about the climate and scenery of the islands but he seemed most will ing to talk about the leper colonies most doctors in the united states live their whole lives without see ing a case of this particularly loathesome disease ac cording to dr thomas leprosy seems to be confined chiefly to oriental peoples or those who live on a vegetable diet the malady is rare in the united states where the diet contains more protein although there is one col ony in lousiana there are two leper colonies on the hawaiian island of oahu and about 300 hundred pa tients are segregated there it is interesting to note that in this number there is not a single white person the public health service has no easy time segre gating the lepers in these colonies the natives do not want to be shut up and they never give them selves up voluntarily if they know they have the dis ease if the directors of the colonies did not have the power of the government behind them they would probably have few recruits the lepers are usually discovered accidentally when they come to be treat ed for some other sickness concerning the disease itself dr thomas said that its symptoms closely resemble a combination of syph ilis and tuberculosis the only successful treatment seems to be plenty of fresh meat and air as in the case of tuberculosis leprosy is not so contagious as is commonly supposed records show that even the children of leprous parents have not contracted it dr thomas also visited captain clay who was for merly a member of the military department at lehigh and who is now stationed at the schofield army bar racks in hawaii taking the entire trip by sea dr thomas was in havana during the recent political disturbances but the passengers on his ship were not allowed to
