Sen-EIect Lewis Plays
 American Universities

Princeton, x, J.. Dec. 3 (UP)- American colleges and universi- ties are breeding grounds for muscular athletes or nursing homes for society blooms" in the estimation of Senator-elect J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois.
 In an interview published in The Daily Princetonian the sen- ator-elect is quoted as saying:
 Our large universities in America are under indictment from the mass of American citl- zenship as institutions which are to do as little as possible for the education of the student, and all Of everything for sports and amusements.
 Tt is generally accepted today that universities are simply the breeding grounds for muscular athletes or the nursing homes for society blooms who hope for hot house development through such agencies as Greek letter societies and gIee lubs."

 The Berenguer cabinet has faced serious internal strife and restless ness in recent weeks, although it has continued steadily on it's pro- gram of returning the government to a normal constitutional regime.
