PUTS HUMANITY
IN COLLEGE PLAN
Michigan University's New
Course Makes Student, Not
Training, Real Problem.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 5 OP1.-
Creation of a university college,
which would serve as foundation fol
collegiate and professional courses
and which also would provide train
ing for students who found 1t impos
slble to continue their education fur
Their was recommended yesterday by
q faculty committee of the University
of Michigan. The division would take
charge of all education to the end OF
the sophomore year.
The recommendation now goes TO
the university senate, and if APP
proyed by that body will be sub.
nlitted to the regents.
Under the terms Of the committee S
recommendations the new college
would have as its problem the stu
dent, instead of professional training,
1t would attempt to find the students
individual capacity, TO orient him to
the university as a whole and to coll
lsborate with the professional schools
TO see that the students were trained
to enter upon its courses.
Above all. says the report of the
committee, lit is expected that some
system will be devised to insure the
establishment of q personal relation
ship between each student of the uni
versity and some officer of the uni
versity."
The plan is an effort to put into eff
feet the assertion of DIR. Clarence
Cook Little, president Of the uni
Versity, that humanity and human
relationship must find a way back
into education.

MAGAZINE TOO SNAPPY.
Death Decreed for School Paper al
Chicago University.

CHICAGO, April 8 CP).--The Phee-
nix, a humorous publication at the
University of Chicago, has become too
snappy and so 1t must die-to rise no
more-at least under that name.
Prof. Frank Fl. O'Hara of the Eng
fish department, director of student
activities, announced the magazine
would cease to be printed because its
humor had become of a rubber stamp
variety. typical of college humor
magazines" but not typical in his
opinion. of real student life.
TOO many illusions to gin and girls,
too many snappy sketches, too much
comment that undergraduate life is
wild, and too much joking about fra
ternity men drinking. We're counts
against the publication. A new maya
zine will replace the Phoenix, Prof.
OHara announced.

WILL STOP ALL
BOOTLEG FRUIT
New Law Protects Deal
ers and Enforces
Grade Ruling

Two changes in the horticultural
code, embodied in House Bill 240,
which has been signed by Gov.
Hartley, will enable the state to
stop "bootlegging" in fruit, ac-
cording to J. /. Griner, supervisor
of horticulture.
One amendment requires the
marking of grades on enclosed
boxes or packages of fruit. Here
tofore, it was listed as the "duty"
of the shipper, which made it diff
ficult to obtain convictions, mas
much as the state had to prove a
sale.
Moreover, the state had to give
the dealer or shipper a chance to
recondition before sale. Under the
new amendment, the horticultural
inspector can prosecute without
warning, and the possession Of
packed fruit does not meet grad
ing requirements is prima facia
evidence of violation.
'These are important changes
for the fruit industry" said Mr..
Griner. "They mean more protec-
tion to legitimate dealers and
shippers. There has been consid-
cradle bootlegging in fruit and it
has been impossible to stop it.
But these changes will make it
possible to compel compliance with
the grading laws"

specifically named in the budget
as passed by the legislature. Over
five hundred thousand dollars has
been put in the budget for high

GETTING ACTION ON
CLEANUP EFFORT
Club Committees Report Progress
Along Civic Identification

Committees from the Kiwanis
club, reporting at the luncheon
Tuesday noon, indicate that there
will be concerted action along
the city Identification plan in Ken
newick this spring. A committee
had in charge the removal of un-
slightly buildings, another arrang-
ed for additional parking plots,
another looked into the tourist
park situation. Other details of
the splan as outlined reported ac-
tivity. And with all the work some
little play occurred, among which
was the singing of a parody sup
piled by Phil Warnock.
The tune was some war dittv
that the editor never learned but
as most Of the Kiwanians knew
the song the following words
seemed to fit: Keep your lawn

weeds down, KennewiekI Last

MUST WAIT TIL
MAY MEETING
No Decision on High Line
Construction Yet -
Mead Coming

No announcement has yet been
made as to the date for the COM
struction of the Kennewick High
Line canal. Mr.. Moulton and Mr..
Rudkin. who attended the confer
ence. representing the Kennewick
interests. returned this week, and
Mr.. Moulton has prepared the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the
results of the conference:
At the conference in Denver the
action to be taken with reference
to Kennewick Irrigation district
was considered by group of rec
lamation officials, consisting Of
Commissioner Meade, the chief en-
gineer, Mr.. Kreutzer in charge OF
economics, Mr.. Lytel, and others.
We were advised that before
any formal and official announce
ment could be made it would be
necessary that the soil and econo-
mic surveys be completed and that
as soon as that could be done and
the data tabulated and ready for
submission, their report would be
taken under consideration and an
official announcement made. I'M
til such an announcement is made
we were told that no recommenda-
tion could be made with reference
to the time for commencement of
construction of this division.
Nothing was said to indicate or
to intimate that any ultimate
change would be made in DR..
Meade's declaration at Washing
ton, but we were given to under
stand that before his statement
could be carried out and made eff
fective the aeconofnfc Survey must
be completed and .lseviewed.
We We're also told that DIR.
Meade would be III Yakima in May
and they hoped to. have the sur
veys completed by that time. They
assured us that. everything pos
sible would be done to complete
this work at the earliest possible
moment and that, in any event, the
final decision could be reached be-
fore the estimates are submitted
to the budget b1reAu for nxet
years appropriations.
For the foregoing reasons no
/ more definite and final statement
can be made than has already
been made until later in the sum
mer. We expect to meet DR.. Meade
when he is here in May and any
information available as a result
of that meeting will be made pub
lie. The condition is substantially
the same as it was before the
Denver conference. The soil sur
vey has been completed and it is
understood that the crop survey
has been practically, if not en-
tirely, completed. The result Of
these surveys must be tabulated
and put into such form that a re-
port can be made and considered
by the board Of review.
