Circulation Manager Stanley Michael FOR FAITH The enormous expenditures and the great sacrifices made by parents and instructors to accomplish the aims of education seem to be the greatest outrage perpetrated against the people of this state in the face of an announce ment made by the Union yesterday. That 17 volumes had been taken from the browsing room comes as a sneer against the improve ments and advancements being inaugurated in our present system. To discover that people can mount to the university level without first learning and having imprinted indelibly upon the fore most portions of of their conscious and sub conscious minds the basic precepts of hon esty and truth, shows a definite fallacy in the educational design. Of little value to the world is an educated thief or an aesthetic murderer. Little confidence can the businessman of a few years hence have in his associates when lie has the sad realization that it is fear alone that keeps them on honorable side of the line. Civilization has made small advancement when it is policing that makes for righteousness. It is with deep regret that, as in all cases of lawlessness, freedom is the price to be paid. With pride Ihe Union opened its Book Nook, unsupervised, to the comings and goings of all interested students. With a sad blow to its faith in youth, it must now institute restric tions and trust in no one. It is not the thieves who will suffer, but those who longed for the companionship of books, those who found new worlds and unbounded enjoyments in the cul ture and ideas of the writers. These books were not taken by a self styled criminal. They probably were not re moved from the book room for the monetary value they represent. But those who have taken them are thieves none the less. Not only are they thieves of books, but thieves of other people's freedoms and rights. In the name of decency to your fellow men, in the name of a possible spark of decency still left in yourself, we entreat you "bor rowers" of these books to return your loot and your honor. laEs (Continued from Page 1) "bull session."

AFXOW DRESS SHIRTS Arrow , (Continued from Page 1) Columbia, gave an account of the same adventure in a recent letter to Professor Schramm. "I was about 20 minutes out of camp when we were ambushed from ground higher than the trail," Spoerry wrote his father. Saw arrow in his back. "I felt something strike me from behind. Turned around, saw the boys scattering, and an arrow sticking in my lower back. I went for cover too, but not knowing exactly where the Indians were, you can't always depend on cover. The three watchmen with me fired most of their shells. Two fired all of them and one had one shot left. I had a 38 revolver six shells in the gun and three in my belt. "I used nu shells seeing no Indians. I gave my gun to my headman, and he used about six. We picked up about eight arrows after the attack. One native was hit. He was leaning over forward and the arrow passed the back of his head and struck him in the back, going in about an inch. That's all I thought mine had pen etrated, but it later proved to be seven inches, including two barbs. Walked back to camp. "We cut out most of the arrow in the field and walked back to camp with the rest of it in me. The arrow was removed in camp by our Colombian first-aid man. He and I were made ready and went to Rio de Cro by boat. From here they took me on a special boat to Petrolca, usually a 16 hour trip, which this time took over 19 hours, i then went a few kilo meters by scooter and truck to a waiting plane and finally arrived at Barranquilla where I was met by a waiting ambulance and a physician." The university has a third rep resentative in the region of Spoer ry's adventure. Vinton A. Bray, who was graduated in 1929, is also a geologist. Ohio State university students have been fined $4,700 for traffic violations in four years by the student court. mi Social workers, faculty discuss value of school An evaluation of the school will be discussed by the Association of Social Work students at a round table meeting with the faculty on Thursday, at 7:30 o'clock in room 313 in the Union.
