EDUCATORS SEEK
CLEANER SPORTS
COmmerciaIiSm in College
Athletics Under Fire.

A movement to put a stop to COM
mercialisa and other unethical Lrac-
tees in college athletics was under
way today, following a meeting Of
the board Of education OF the Dis
ciples of Christ at the Claypool Tues
day.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives of Christian educational in
stitutions from all parts Of the coun-
try.
President Robert J. Alley Of Butler
University said athletic problems are
among the most serious difficulties
confronting colleges. He blamed
outside influences TO some exten: for
commercialism in college sports.
Articles of incorporation of the
board were amended to increase the
membership to sixty. The additional
members viii be nominated by the
national convention. A number Of
talks on technical college administra-
ton subjects were made.

If your idea of an author is a per-
son without any system, who works
in a cluttered "den" and combs his
hair once a week, get rid Of the
idea.
Meredith Nicholson, one Of the
best-known of the Hoosier authors,
has as much system about his work
as any other good workman. He
has an office and he keeps regular
Office hours. He looks more like a
banker than like the popular con

of special thermometer with a scale
running to 1870 degrees, saying it was
"a horse thermometer" Finally she
allowed a reading by this. which

Case of Hysteric Fireman
In 1895, at meeting of the Asso-
citation Of American Physicians, Jacob
Of New York reported a case Of hyper
thermy reaching 14S degrees, IN a pro-
foundly hysteric fireman. who fell be-
tween the revolving rods Of some ma
chlnery and was rendered uncon-
scious for four days. This tempera-
ture was carefully recorded in the
presence Of a number Of persons, and
all possible precautions We're taken to
prevent deception. For five days his
temperature averaged between 100
and 125 degrees. Jacob insisted his
observations had been made with the
greatest care and under many diff
ferent circumstances. He was skep-
teal at first, but could not doubt his
own observations. In discussing this
case. Welsh Of Baltimore referred TO
a case that had been reported In
which II was said that the tempera-
ture reached as high as III degrees.

Probably the explanation OF all
these cases Of hypertherny lies in an
alteration in the relationship between
heat production and heat dissipation
accompanied by either functional or
organic arrangement Of the ther-
mogenic or thermolytic nervous
system centers. but even if It cannot
be explained. an anomoly OF this
kind does not merit on our part a
denial Of the possibility of It's
occurrence.

From press reports, 1t would APP
pear the alleged high temperature of
the young woman of Escanaba, Mich,
running even to 120 degrees, has
created much interest, accompanied
with skepticism. This is not sur
prising, for a temperature of 105 or
106 degrees is considered very high
in the routine practice of medicine.
One may naturally wonder if this
temperature is a record. In medical
literature, there are many reported
and recorded cases with temperatures
equalling, and quite a few even far
exceeding that Of Miss Lyons In
briefly reviewing some Of them, we
must be reminded that no matter how
good the evidence or how authentic
the reference, there is a good chance
for malingering. There are means Of
producing on sensitive thermometers,
apparently very high temperatures.
Origin of Body Heat
The temperature Of the body IS due
to the body heat, 90 per cent Of
which Is derived from the stored-up
enegry of ingested organic food ma
terial. while 10 per cent IS the result
Of mechanical muscular movements
Of the body. The conversion of food
into body heat is an intensely inter
esting story. but not Of great value.
Obviously, the production Of body
heat. in this manner, must be care
fully regulated. so that It win con

that the body temperature shall be
fairly constant, and a normal tenn
perature, about 98.6 degrees. obtain.
To accomplish this maintenance OF
standard temperature there must be
present in the body somo definite
means. These means lie in nerve cen
ters which control the production and
dissipation OF body heat, according TO
the necessities Of the body for low.
average or high temperatures. by
mans Of chemical changes in the
body cells, and also the irritation that
developed in the nervous system from
poisons produced by disease.
AnOm0lies OF Temperature

interesting information regarding
anomalies OF temperature, some of
which I would like to quote without.

temperatures of 113 degrees had often

ported It, The only negative vote
was cast by Charles L. Barry.
No charges OF misconduct in Office
were made against Twiname. The
action was based on the assumption
that he was not in sympathy with the
building program OF the board. The
resolution Of removal stated that he
had been asked by board members to
resign, but had refused. Barry spoke
in defense of Twinane and voted for
his reelection.

adequate school buildings. They want

new buildings IS blocked"
Twiname demanded specific in
stances Of lack Of cooperation on his
part be stated. This was not done.
