Dean of Men Joseph A. Park is
daddy for 9,673 men students at
O. S. U.
Many of these boys are away from
home for the first time and they
turn to Dean Park for friendly ad
vice and assistance III all kinds of
difficulties.
Dean Park believes boys of IS
years or older should be assuming
responsibilities and learning from
experience. Consequently he has set
up no long string of rules which
students must obey. That, he be-
lleves, takes away student initiative
and leaves little opportunity for per-
sonal decision.
Although just past the 40 mark,
Park is the only dean Of men Ohio
State has had. He has held the po-
sition since 1927. Previously he had
been in Y. M c. A. work
1t was he who first suggested the
cooperative dormitory system, where
500 needy boys attend the univer
sity for only 1926 room and board
cost per year.
No enemy of fraternities, he has
built up model system at Ohio
State by which fraternities serve to
develop business, social, and schOl-
site interests among their members.
Ohio States present system Of
student government, through a stu
dent senate, was worked out by
Dean Park. The senate recently
honored it's founder by purchasing
a bust of him, to be placed in some
prominent place on the campus.
He is secretary of the national
college Y. NJ C. A. committee, and
a prominent figure in the state and
national association of deans of
men.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, July 27.-Buying of
rails and handful of specialties
helped give the stock market late
selective recovery tinge today after
frequent slipups throughout the
forepart of the session.
While early losses running to q
point or SO for leaders were reduced
or Cancelled in many instances at
the close, small minus signs were
plentiful and the best that could
be said was that final prices were
moderately mixed
Dealings, rather lively in the first
hour, dWindled from then on and
transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
The days news principally had
to do with the surprise action of
Washington in abrogating the
United States-Japanese trade treaty
of 1911. Although this was the
main topic of discussion in board
rooms, it apparently was more puz-
zling than depression so far as
markets were concerned.
The domestic business outlook,
on the whole, seemed to provide
the main speculative and invest
ment tonic.
Carriers did better notwithstand-
ing last weeks freight loadings,
published today, revealed a more
than seasonal drop due to de-
crease in grain shipments. Earn
lngs figures of most roads, however,
made pleasant reading.
Second-quarter statements of
many corporations, together with
boosted dividends here and there,
served as cheerful influence.
General Motors stiffened at the
last on reports this company's strike
might be settled soon. Chrysler also
came back
Stocks on the upside at one time
or another were Santa Fe, Great
Northern, Southern Pacific, Penn
sylvania, American Can, Westing-
house, Allied Chemical, Du Pont,
Douglas Aircraft. Glenn Martin,
Pathe, Western Union, Canada Dry
and Consolidated Edison.
Tagging the greater part of the
day were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
Kennecott, Montgomery Ward,
Goodyear, Sperry, International
Harvester, Standard Oil of N. J,
