TALKS 0NML06Y
Tells Freshmen of Influence of
Other Persons on Life of
Each Individual.
"Sociology is the science of human
association. It is the study oi' the
life of men in groups in relation to
itheir fellow men," said Professor
Hattie Plum Williams in her address
before the freshmen at the regulir
freshmen lecture sessions, Monday
afternoon and Tuesday morning. Slio
presented to the freshmen the pur
poses and value of the study of soc
iology and set forth some ot the
chief things that it involves.
The chief point stressed by the
speaker was the importance of our
associates in determining our actions.
Every person we meet influences us
directly or indirectly. We may not
be conscious of this influence but it
is present nevertheless. Sociology is
a scientific sf.udy of the laws of
association and group life.
Sociology is not a study of social
ism, it is not tne science oi crime
nd poverty, nor is it a substitute
for religion. Crime and poverty en
ter into the study of sociology but
are only one division of the subject.
Sociologists are not atheists but- in
fact use religion a great deal in fur
thering their work.
Associations.
Professor Wliams) gave .several
pointed illustrations of how associa
tions and environment prominently
effect life. A sheep herder who lives
in solitude with only a dog for a
companion becomes in a shoit time
a very different creature, although
he may have been raised in close
association with his fc-ilow men. A
man and a woman each raided in a
different environment may marry
and in a short time assimulate eaca
others ideas.
It would be interesting to note how
many people we meet in tin course
jf a day. It would also be tnteres
ing to list the different agreements
which we enter into with other peo
ple each day. Again the different
groups to which we eeiong present
a fascinating study. There are the
groups over which we hav no coi
,ro! such as race, nation, state, com
munity, and family. Secondly, there
are those groups which we ourselves
determine such as our church, school,
club, and hundreds of others. Many
of these groups we do not think oi
as being units, but In reality they
are. For instance, if a fire broke
out when a class of several bun
red students was listening lo a lec
ture, the group would lnsantly act
a unit in making their escapo.
The field of applied sociology !
the most valuable of all. Ti e prob
lems of a doctor are closely allied
with the problems of a sociologist. A
doctor can do very little for health
if conditions of sanitation and hius
irg are unsatisfactory An eoucatoi
can not effectively Accomplish his
vrr!' if the home coni-fious '. chil
,ir.n not harmonious. Of course
the field of law is closely a'Hed with
sociology because the Mcloiogis'
studies problems of crime, public
safety and other allied problems with
which a lawyer deals. Ministers and
..oi wPlfare workers must be we'l
versed in sociology in order to do
their work well.
Study People on O Street
Professor Williams said that O
trr.t u a isood place to study peoplo
observe the different types as thej
go to work. About 7 o'clocK in me
morning the laundresses, roundhouse
,ir .nd other laborers go to
work. About 8 o'clock the students.
.mi tenograpbera are seen
and a little later the business and
professional men appear, au tnese
. - . necessary to move the
world but each have their separate
problem! and It Is for me ono,OBU.l
to study them and aid In th-ir solution.
RUSSIA IS IN DIRE
NEED OF STUDENTS
Those Able to Attend Universi
ties Must do Manual Labor to
Support Themselves.
THIRTY THOUSAND HAVE
DIED IN THREE MONTHS
Russia Has Suffered Two Crop
Failures and Half of the Pop
ulation Has Starved.
Russia is in desperate need of stu
dents owing to her shortage of pro
fesional men. Since 1914, thirty
thousand doctors, one-third of the
medical profession, have died through
war and pestilence. A nation's lead
ers are largely individuals who have
been students. But in Central Europe,
the very men and women who should
be students today, in order to be
come the leaders of tomorrow, cannot
attend the universities or must do so
under the greatest handicaps, owin
to the unfavorable economic condit
ions and the deplorable financial
conditions under which they are
forced to live.
Thousands of students whose stud
ies were interrupted by the war are
now returning to the universities
in an endeavor to complete their
courses. It is difficult to request
them to give up their studies and tc
seek other ocupations, especially when
there is no employment to be had.
Reports from all countries con
cerned show that living costs have in
creased out of all proportion to the
increase in wages and incomes and
that the conditions threatens to make
beggars of the entire middle class
In Czecho Slovakia the prices haze
increased to thirty or forty times the
pre-war price. Every student in Rus
sia is doing manual labor, and every
student is haJf-ritarveo They are
without the most elementary necess
ities of study book9, paper, ink and
illencils. Everywhere there is the
acute lack of food, clothing and trans
porting facilities. According to the
best information available, Russia is
practically without drugs. Thewhole
country is diseased and starving.
Two Rusian Universities, Samara
and Saratow, are in the famine area,
Under date of December 9, Professor
Nausen, the , great Scandinavian re-
'ief worker reports, by wireless from
Moscow as folows: "Have visited
Samara and vicinity. The tragedy
overwhelms our greatest fears. Dur
ing the months of September, October
and November, 30,000 people died.
and the rate of those perishing from
hunger is steadily increasing. At this
death rate, two-thirds of the inhabit
ants will have perished by spring."

The Far East Question
JAPANESE AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES AND DELEGATE
FROM JAPAN TO THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
Japan At The Conference
ARTICLE NO. 1.
(By Baron Kijuro Shidehara.)
The truth must be recognized that
Japan is a strongly growing, ener
getic nation, of which the population
has already reached nearly tfce linif".
of the food producing capacity of the
land It Uvea in. Japan can, of
course, intensify and increase lta
food production somewhat, md this
matter is already in band. Tbe gov
ernment will not rest in its applicai
tion of energy and science to ttis
problem it has attained the maximum
results. But this increase will by
insuffiecient for the national require
ments, and some other means will
have to be adopted.
The experience of England and i.t
Belgium has shown that the p. actual
jswer is industrializing the ration,
and Japan, as a measure of self
preservation is now facing . this
transformation from a nation of foi
mers and harvesters of natural pre
ducts into one of manufacturers. But
manufacturing successfully Is Impos
sible without two essentials, the ra
materials for the factories and the
markets for the finished rnvrcbtn
dise.
Now the real essence of tbe matter
ia that Japan's islands do not con
tain the raw materials in any suffi
cient supply, nor does the popula
tion of Japan furnish the possibili
ties of markets sufficient to obserh
Japanese manufactured products. Like
England, Japan most bay msiruus

ELECT COACH DAWSON
TO BE DEAN OF
Football Coach Chosen to Fill the
Newly Created Office of Uni
versity Faculty.
Coach Fred Dawson will fill the
newly created office of dean of men
along with that of head coach at the
university. With the retiring of Pro
vost Lees that ortice will b3 discon
tinued, and most of his former duties
taken over into the office of the ex
ecutlve dean. Mr. Dan-son beconv s
active director of athletics and wil
continue this position until Septem
ber unless his successor is appoimed
before that time.
Following is the report from the
meeting of the board of regents,
which met Tuesday, February 7, 11
o'clock:
The board of regents met at 11
o'clock in the chancellors office with
all regents present except Mr. Sey
mour who is still ill.
The forenoon was spent in confer
ence with Coach Fred T. Dawson.
The following reorganization was ef
fected: Dr. Lees, who relinquished
the active work of Provost last spring
on account of ill health, retires from
the position to devote himself ex
clusively to the work of teiching and
chairmanship of the department of
ancient language. , The "office of
provost was discontinued and the
duties formerly performed by the
Provost are added to those of ex
ecutive Dean Engberg who will be
relieved of the greater part of the
duties which he has performed in
the past, commonly performed by a
dean of men. Coach Dawson accepts
the double position of Dean or Men
and chief coach of football. He will
be given extra help in the deans of
fice during the football season so
that he can give that work at that
time practically his entire attention.
All of these changes take place Sep

mainland.
Other sources of natural products,
as well as other markets have bei
developed by other countries to mei
their growing needs, and before the
development of what may be called
modern applied commercial etLIct,
some of those countries laid plans to
exploit China without full respect to
China' rght to her own. wealth.
However, that right is now recog
nized publicly, and Japan herself, al
though her access to Chinese supplies
and to Chinese markets is of su
preme importance to ner economic
existence, is determined that there
shall be no infringement of Chines3
rights, no exploitation of China In
any way detrimental to China.
Japan would be the first to puffer-
after China herself from harmful ex
ploitation of China. Even If great
development work should bo under
taken in China, and her production of
aw materials enormously Increased
by an outside nation, unless the prof
its of tbat work should stay In Chi
nese hands It would mean tbat Chi
nese purchasing power would not be
proportionately developed: in other
words there would be no correspond

The influence which the Mated

very nearly the same.
Voting in every class was less than
in the last fall election. The seniors
fell down from 206 votes to 221; the
juniors went from 5S7 to 5HS votes;
the sophomores dropped from 608 to
542 ballots cast, and the freshman
fell short in balloting from 957 lo 512.

Electric Lights
Kid Flowers Into
Working Overtime
Electric lights burn the midnight
Juice trying to make spring flowers
blossom in the winter at the campus
greenhouse. From sunset to mid
night tevery vday for the last six
weeks the electric bulbs, nine- in tbe
west room and six in the east, have
been turned on full blast to help
the ferns, tulips, wandering Jews,
and petunias grow. Since Dr Ray
mond John Pool and Dr. Ella Rena
Walker of the botany department
started the experiment the plants
have grown splendidly and show
much Improvement over others of
their kind. The caretaker, however.
hardly believes that any such meth
od could be used practically, as the
lights have already burned up a good
share of the total cost of tbe plants.
