"There is danger of the white race being overpowered by the colored races who have gained the occidental death rate without, the occidental hirth rate," said Prof. E. A. Ross, chairman of the University of Wis consin department of sociology, in a World Forum apeech recently. Professor Ross was formerly head of the Nebraska department of so ciology. "The oriental countries have profited by the occidental knowl edge of prevention and cure of dis ease and have thus decreased their death rate, but they have taken no steps to decrease their birth rate, explained Professor Ross. "The natural birth rate," said Professor Ross, "is 60 births per i.uou population. The present death rate is 20 per 1.000 and where modern theories In retard to com mon diseases are applied it can be reuucea to 11 to 12 per 1,000. Geographers cannot see how more than four billion people can exist on me product or the soli, and at the present rate the population win oe aouoiea in seventy year." Two Theories. Ther are two opposine: theories regarding the problem 18f the world population, according to Professor noss. The first Is that the world la in emlnant danger of over pop uiatlon; the second is that the danger lies in a birth rate that is too low. The fallacy In these theorie is that each is based on a special section; the former on the oriental countries where the birth rate far exceeds the death rate, the latter on England and western Europe where the birth and death rates are very nearly equal. It is true, however, that the world population has doubled in the last hundred years and if the geographers' estimation is correct, the problem of population In criti cal. The movements to control ex ceta population are: migration and birth control. Control by means of migration consists In the moving of the populace from densely set tled areas to more open areas. This remove population pressure for a time.

Wisconsin Crrtd Makes Study How Long Team Spend in Actual Play When It became known thwt the board of regents asked a larger sum be granted for university im provements by the state legisla ture it was accepted with delight, especially by those who would be directly affected If such were fa vorably acted upon by the state legislature. Girls were seen to weep with sheer delight upon each other's shoulders when they read tho ar ticle which seemed to place their dreams of a new dormitory nearer. Journalists elated over anticipa tion of a new building. Those who are now receiving training In do mestic science tittered with glee over the thought of a new struc ture in which they might work. While faculty and students alike seemed in the best of spirits there was one professor, more concerned perhaps than any other, who failed to snare In the joy. Doein't Get Excited. Professor Sweezy, head of the astronomical department, upon reading the request by the regents for the appropriation of $50,000 for a new building for those who wish to know something about the heavenly bodies did not blink his eyes, look again, or leap out of his chair upsetting the breakfast dishes. Rather, when he read it a sound of disgust, even contempt escaped his Hps. It had happened before. Approximately twenty years ago definite plans were being made for a new, highly improved astronomical building. Professor Sweezy, then a younger man with less experience, was very highly enthused. He pictured' the large building with two gigantic domes in which would be placed the pow erful telescopes, the fine lecture rooms, the most modern of astron omy laboratories and equipment. The professor spent hours, days, and perhaps weeks in figuring, calculating, drawing, working on general plans for the new struc ture. Working with outstanding architects the blue prints were drawn. They are even as yet In the old observatory, yellowed with time. The date for the anticipated appropriation drew near. Just two days left before the funds would be definitely established. Plan Com To Naught. But alas! The crisis fell, the re gents withdrew their demand for such an appropr.atton. Instead they would apply that sum on other buildings. Years came and passed. No ad dition to the astronomy depart ment. The professor must continue to labor under the great handicap of such a small building and lim ited equipment. Two years ago Fred A. Marsh, a new member of the regents, came personally to see the profes sor about enlargement and the like. He seemed highly in favor of carrying out plans similar but per haps more elaborate to those made years ago. He left but returned only to confess that his efforts were in vain. Again the hopes of Mr. Sweezy slumped. Then, the other morning as he was digesting the news of the morning paper his attention was called to an article which read, "The governing boards are asking for appropriations for the con struction of a building to take the place of the now delapidated strut lure. Know Better Now. But his once greatest hopes, did not again ascend to their once great heights as did those of the students upon reading the same articli. He had aeen the same thing before and it was a lesson. "Now," declared the aged pro- rcssor, "before I lay over a hand I am going to be certain that auch plans will be carried out. Let the request be submitted to the house, the senate, pass the governor's as sent, then once again an assurance that the regents will use it for the Intended purpose. Then will I place my inougnts upon it and start work." FOR TIGER TUSSLE Light Practice Opens Week Following Victory Over Sooners.

"How Many Minute of Play in the Average Football Game?" ia the title of an article in the November issue of the scientific American, by Hugo L. Rusch, '23, a graduate of the university or Wisconsin. At present Mr. Rusch is em ployed aa supervisor of the tech nical data section in Johns-Mans-vllle corporation, and is chairman of the program committee of the New York Alumni association. Answers Query. The answer to the title is found In the articles as a result of Mr. Ruach'a observation at football games during the past four years. He has found by accurate aid of a stop watch that the average time ; a Dan is in play during the game I is twelve minutes. He was present at eight import ant games during the 1927, 1928 and 1929 seasons in which Notre Dame, Army. Yale, Harvard, r-nnceton, Stanford, Ohio State. Columbia. Indiana, and Syracuse took part, and he found the actual playing time to bo twelve minutes, twenty-two seconds per game. Much Time Wasted. At thi rate, a person who pays f5 for his ticket is in reality pay ing $24.25 per hour to see the ball la motion.

The average time for a game In cluding all of that ia two hours, twenty minutes and nine seconds for those eight game witnessed by Mr. Rusch. rollment had increased over last year. It is explained at Dean Burr's office that the decrease is due to many students registering last spring and failing to return to school. There were 612 students enrolled at the college at this time last year. Official count reveals that the enrollment now is 601 The number of men enrolled at the college increased four over last year. Figurea show there are fif teen less women enrolled now than last year. As usual the freshmen boys' class is larger than any other men's class. The sophomore boys' class numbers 84, the junior class 82 and the senior men's class 64. Figures from the dean's office further show there are fifty-five girls in the freshman class this year. Unusual to note, the number of girls in the sophomore, junior and senior class is the same, there being sixty-three in each class. There are ten special students enrolled at the college. They are unclassified.

Professor Cunningham stated that in medieval times the cathe drals served as encyclopedias for the people. All that the people had learned or believed was symbolized in the p.rchitecture of the cathe dral. He pointed out that there were no books at these times ex cept those in the cloisters of the monasteries. Professor Cunning ham stated that the cathedral fur nished the inspiration for the first encyclopedia, because a certain man thought that the knowledge expressed on the walla should be preserved.

'Holiday' Players' Current Drama, Pleases All Kinds of Theater Goers BY ROSELINE PIZER. "Holiday," Philip Barry's enter taining comedy which Is being pre sented by the University Players tnis ween, nas been as favorably received by campus playgoers as it haa been elsewhere. The witty dialogue and the thoroughly mod ern manner in which the problem of the play la presented appeals to young and old, easterners and westerners, optimists and pessimists. Members of the cast fit into their parts well and keep the bright bouncing ball of conversa tion moving rapidly and grace fully. Dorothy Zlmmcr exhibits load of vlvaciousness and pent-up energy that finally breaks out In the final scene of the play. Arthur Singley as the young hero plays his part with assurance and the proper amount of boyish naturalness. Mis French Does Well. Augusta French is the young lady who Is engaged to be married and plays her part with poise and charm. Harlan Eastern as the de termined, domineering father la convincing and realistic. Jere Mickel play the part of Ned, the brother, and doe It with a deft touch here and ther that makes his bits outstanding. Her bert Yenne and De Lellla Shramek as Nick and Susan Potter bring laughs with them on the stage every time they appear. Their comedy bits are executed with skill. Luclle Cypreansen and Paul Thompson play the part of Laura Cram and husband well enough to make themselves very obnoxious which is what they are supposed to do. Lee Bennett, Edwin Morten sen, and Ethelyn Calwell arc the perfectly trained servants In the seton home. Play Moves Fait. The play moves fast and the conversation moves faster. Laughs follow one another so fast It Is dif ficult at times to keep up. Two and one-half hours of delightful entertainment with plenty of things to think about after the laughter subsides are assured you in "Holiday."

He wondered if there was a demand for the magazine from the stu oenis, stating that if there was not, there would be n use in try ing to revive the sheet. Prof. C. H. Oldfather, another member of the board, stated he would like to see Sigma Delta Chi take an active editorial interest in the Awgwan. Tentative plans provide for the election of a business manager of the publication at midyear to hold over for a year, providing the magazine ia reinstated. It is thought this will aid the financial side of the book. Ousted Lat Year. The Awgwan was ousted in January of this year because of its poor financial condition and because of objectionable material contained in it. A Student council committee was appointed several weeks aeo to investigate the publication with a view toward determining whether it ahould be returned or not. After the committee's report. the council went on record with the statement that it felt the student body desired the reinstate ment of the magazine. At the same time the council recom mended that Sigma Delta Chi work out a definite plan for the return of the sheet and present it to the publication board. Yesterday's conference with the board is the result of Sigma Delta Chi's action on the matter.
