DISABLED VETS
AT STATES u
MAKE RECORDS
Success Is Achieved by Them,
Average Being Higher
Than Student BOdy's

The record of the U. S. Veterans
Bureau trainees at the University of
North Dakota furnishes another
striking example of the success
achieved by the disabled soldiers
wherever they are studying. The
average grade attained by all stu
dents at that institution from 1919
to 1922 was 82.46 percent. The
average standing of all fraternity
men during the same period was
81.92 percent.
BY comparison, the average stand
ing of all Veterans Bureau trainees
for, the first semester of the current
year was 81 percent, or only lees
than half a point below the univer-
sity average for a period Of years.
When it is remembered that many of
these men were out of school for
years, that many of them lacked
some of the usual university en-
trance requirements which deficicn-
cies they have been obliged to over
come, and that they. have labored
under the handicap Of physical dis:
abilities, their scholastic record is
remarkable.
These twenty-three ex-service men
participated freely in activities out
side the classroom and won their
full share of recognition. One was a
member of the varsity debate team
and took part in all contests besides
being secretary of the State Ora
torical League; another was a men,
Der of the Student Court; one was
assistant editor of the 1925 Da-
cotah," the University annual; while
another acted as an instructor in
Manual Arts and Scandinavian.
They were elected to sixteen mem
berships in national Greek letter
fraternities and five local Greek let
ter fraternities. They held seven
prominent places in athletics, six in
literary societies, two in musical or
CARNATIONS, fifteen in miscellaneous
clubs and societies. Nine were MEM
bers of regular fraternal orders.
All this foreshadows active par
ticipation in the social life and which
they are to carry on in the pursuit
of their chosen professions.

Gold Discovered
Under Floor of
Dealers Garage

Grass Valley, California, May 15.-
When Anterior B. Snyder started to
excavatc for an underground gaso-
line tank in his garage here, he
struck gold bearing ore a few feet
below the surface.
Mr.. Snyder had the orc assayed
and found that it contained a '>,nsid-
cradle quantity of gold. He kept go
ing deeper and getting more gold
and reported to the Chester N. Wca-
yer Company, Studcbakcr distlibu-
tors at San Francisco, that between
selling Studebakcr cars and mining
gold, he had his hands full. In few
weeks, as the shaft sunk deeper. his
garage was full, too-full of dirt
from the excavation.
The miners were bringing up SO
much ore that the Snyder service
department was getting too crowded
for comfort. By that time, however
he had taken enough money out of
the mine to pay for the garage.
Sells Underground Rights
But the ,congested condition could
not continue. 1t reached point
where Snyder had to give up the
mine or give up the garage. Since
so many Studebakers were being sold
in Grass Valley, Mr.. Snyder began to
do some figuring.
Studebaker had been doing bust
ness for u years, he knew, while his
gold mine might peter out" any
day. He deliberated on the problem
for short time and decided to close
up his gold mine and stick to his
Studebakers.
He closed up the shaft leading in
to the garage and sold the under
ground rights to gold mining COM
pany which is now working under
meath the surface of the garage. But
Mr.. Snyder stipulated in his con-
tract that the mining operations were
not to interfere with his garage bus
mess. 4 3A&
When asked if he didn't have diff
ficulty making up his mind to aban-
don the gold mine, Mr.. Snyder soid:
"Not much. Why bother with a
gold mine when you've such a sub
stantial business as the contract for
Studebaker? A gold mine is tickle
thing, uncertain at best, liable to quit
on you any time. But selling Stude-
bakers is sure thing. I'll keep my
garage" And he has.
