He has also given lectures on crime detection to police scnoois tnrougn out Wisconsin, and his work has been endorsed by police officials of that state.

'Yellow Jack9 Traces Story of Man's Battle Against Yellow Fever Germ; 29 Scenes Depicted on 3-Level Stage By DOROTHEA FULTON. Sidney Howard's outstanding drama, "The Yellow Jack," brings to the University Players stage a production in which the characterizations of the actors are subordinate to the plot and setting of the play. Adapted from the book. "Microbe Hunters,' by Paul De Kruif, the production tells of tDeo eternal battle civilizaticn wages against disease. The firt of the production's twenty-nine scenes takes place in London during 1929 in the laboratory of a group of doctors who are bunting for the yellow fever microbe. Subsequent scenes carry the audience back through 1927 to 1900, and reveal the hardships of men who sacri ficed their lives for experimenta tion because no animal save the monkey could contract yellow fever.

Such statements as: Just what Is needed to arouse in terest In public affairs among stu dents," and "A new subject lor discussion In the 'Moon'," seem to exemplify the general feeling among most "Sosh" newsmongers. Mr. Fellman, political science in structor, states that it is a very desirable Idea in that it directs stu dent attention toward crucial pub lic problems, but that some of the questions are altogether Impracti cal. "The results, ' professor ten man states, "will be very Interest ins: but in no way significant." Dr. Oldfather, dean of the Arts and Sciences college, declares that such a poll Is extremely practical, that the subject of discussion was well chosen, and the results should show the trend of student opinion in national affairs. Professor Reinhardt of the so ciology department says, "It is a very interesting and legitimate survey and will arouse student in terest in public affairs " Mr. Rein hardt believes, however, that the result will simply reveal stu dent opinion and not that of peo ple experienced in the business world. Therefore the results of a student poll should not be held In too high esteem, he stated. Choruses. Orchestra From University to Appear in Production.

About fifty jobs have been created in connection with the medical school, it wss announced. With the second semester, dur ing which the F. E. S.

J. Thompson, dean of student affairs. He stated that according to the general re port received from the various de partments all of the students do ing relief work are striving to make themselves worth their wage.
