FEAR STUDENT RIOTS
Havana, Cuba, (IP)—Fear on the
part of the government here that the
present precarious political situation
might lead to riots among students
were they gathered at college, has led
authorities of the National Univer
sity here to postpone the opening of
the institution from Oct. 1 to Nov. 10.
By that time the election of senators
and representatives will have been
held.
STUDENTS MUST CONCENTRATE

ANCIENT SURGICAL KIT
Salt Lake City—(IP)—What ar
cheologists describe as a pre-historic
surgical kit has been discovered be
neath a cliff dwelling near the Utah-
Arizona border by members of the
Charles L. Bernheimer expedition of
the American Museum of Natural
History.
The kit, which contains a variety of
wooden instruments, all well preserved,
was hidden in a hollow tube, covered
by the skin of an animal.
Archeologists believe that the sur
gical instruments were used by a race
known as basket weavers, many years
before the arrival of the cliff dwellers.
STUDENTS NOT TOO RADICAL
lege students are not at all the wild
eyed radicals they some times are pic
tured to be, but expresses the belief
that they desire change only for the
future benefit of humanity.
She believes student bodies repre
sent the same variety of thinkers that
any other groups do. Thus, she be
lieves, the college campus has its stu
dent minds ranging all the way from
the most radical to the most conser
vative.

State College, Pa. (IP)—Lack of
concentration is the greatest handicap
which high school students have when
entering college, it was found by Penn
sylvania College authorities in a ques-
tionaire sent to students here.
Other difficulties which the fresh
men revealed were lack of knowledge
of how to study, of how to budget
working time, of how to choose
among the various subjects on the
curriculum.
AUTOMOBILE VS. EDUCATION
Washington, (IP)—Figures which
have been compiled by the Research
Division of the National Education As
sociation indicate that Americans
spend more than five times as much
for passenger automobiles each year
as they do for the education of their
children in the public schools.
In 1928 the country spent less than
$2,500,000,000 for public education be
low the college grade, while it spent
$12,500,000,000 for motor cars.
The survey further indicates that
three times as much as was spent on
education was spent on tobacco, candy,
soft drinks and amusement of various
sorts.
MEASURE HEAT OF TINY STAR
Washington, (IP)—The Carnegie
Institution has announced that its
scientists have found it possible to
measure the heat from an unnamed
star which is 631 times fainter than
the faintest star visible to the un
aided eye.
The tiny heat wave was caught by
an instrument weighing one-thous
andth of that of a drop of water
and called a thermacouple.
Dr. Herman Schneider, president of
the University of Cincinnati, hopes
to eliminate many of the complex
ities of university organization by
providing for five major university
divisions: Liberal arts, economics, or
engineering and commerce, human
adjustments, physical and mental
health, and fine arts, the last four
corresponding to the divisions of
mankind’s professional activities.
