War Dances in College Halls.

Every day the halls of the anthro-
pology department of the University
of California ring out with the low,
plaintive music Of the Indian tribes Of
the Pacific Coast One unacquainted
with the proceedings might be led to
think that war dance was in prog

the university management has been
engaged in collecting photographic
records on which are preserved the old
time songs and dance music and dances
of the Indians of the Pacific Slope
During the past Summer they have
succeeded in recording some gems. For
instance it has heretofore been i'm
possible to get the Indians to render the

DECLARES ATHLETES
 GET TOO MUCH TIME
California Professor Says Scientific Attainments Are Not Appre-
 ciatcd By Students

Berkeley, Cal. Sept. f P}-Too much time is wasted celebrating athletic victories by students. busl- ness men and the public generally, while a "lamentable lack of appre- citation is accorded scientific attain ments," Prof. Ira B. Cross of the University of California believes.
 Addressing the Lions club here yesterday, the economies instructor criticised Berkeleyans who greeted members of the university crew, vic tors in the Olympic shell races at Amsterdam. Only two men who rowed in the winning race arrived last week. but schools were given a half holiday.
 'If Dr. Millikan. discoverer of the cosmic ray, a truly wonderful feat, paid visit to Berkeley, would he be given the welcome that these two oar pullers were accorded?" asked Prof. Cross. "Of course not; he would hardly be noticed"
 The professor also deplored Berk- eley's attempt to attract industries, declaring that the city "cannot re- main an intellectual center and also become a factory town"

ATHLETES SCHOLARS

Ripon, Wis, Sept. 4 (UP)-Col- lege athletes do not lower the academic standing of a college stu dent body. according to Dr. s. K. Ellis, professor of education at Ripon college.
 Professor Ellis soon will submit a detailed report. covering study and examination of the class marks of Ripon college students over a period of four years from 1922 to 1926. to the Carnegie Foundation, as refutation of findings made at other institutions to effect that athletes undermine academic standings.
 Estimating on the basis of 12 as perfect standing. Dr. Ellis found that an average of S5 non-athletes per year received standing of 6, while 63 athletes received 5.6. "This difference in average scholarship is rather too small to be significant, his report declares.

FRENCH MARVEL AT TUNNEY'S MEN
Has Not Appearance Of Boxer,
 They Decide

Paris, Sept. I R-Paris news papers today expressed surprise at the lack of signs of a boxer about Gene Tunney.
 He was meant to be poet and was a boxer by necessity" said Le Petit Parisien. He only won in the ring enough dollars to enable him to end his days in peace. He perhaps is not a happy man. His glory weighs heavily on this cham pion who has not yet found happi- ness"
 Other sporting writers remarked that Tunney's figure was athletic but not eXaggeratedly so. They said that those not knowing him would never think the blue-eyed blond gentleman was champion of the world and the vanquisher Of Dempsey.
 Ten years ago." L-Auto said, "A certain marine n-commissioned officer knocked out K. o. Marchand at meeting in the Cirque de Paris. Neither Marchand nor anyone in the large audience of Parisian and Allied fans present suspected this American soldier would be one day the worlds champion"
 He is a perfect gentleman" was the way the sporting writers summed up Tunney.
 Talking with reporters on his ar- rival from London. Tunney said to the correspondent of the Associated Press who was acting as trans lator:
 Tell these boys that France fought for the rights of man in the revolution of 1791 and I am now asking that the rights of man be extended me. I desire privacy and under the French constitution am entitled to it. From now on. would like to go about Paris like any other American visitor, only more so.'
 The French reporters gasped when his remark was translated but all understood and sympathized with his desire to be let alone.
 French men and women crowded about Tunney on his arrival and received him like conquering hero They pummelled him in their en. thusiasm while flashlights boomed and reporters shot questions at him Tunney was smiling until one oi the reporters asked about his mar riage, then he became belligerent He answered quickly: This is a matter in which the public or your-

self is not intetrested. I am a pri- vate scitixen and desire to be treated as such."
 The ultimatum impressed the Frenchmen. Tunney then asked the Associated Press correspondent to tell the reporters he wanted a short rest and then would give them an interview. Hell the boys this is no high-hat stuff," he added.
 Tunney refused to express an opinion as to the ability of Pauline Uzcudun, one of the aspirants to the title which he resigned. saying he felt he would do an injury to others if he reviewed the qualifica- tions of any one.
 One reporter asked in French: "Is Mir. Tunney going to do moving picture work? ?" Without waiting for translation Tunney said quickly:
 No, there isn't enough millions of dollars in the world to cause me to do cinema work just now"
