They all say they'll study
over vacation-well, MAYBE
7y
With the plea of "too much
studying" ringing in our ears as
the latest excuse for little activity
over the Christmas holidays, we
view the vacation scene with a
healthy skepticism.
Still, the impressive
piles of books leaving
the library and filling
home-bound suitcases
would indicate that va
cation evenings may
be spent by the study lamp too
bad the professors can't at least
uee the pretense.
TONIGHT
the Sigma Chi's annual Christmas
dinner dance will be held at the
L Lincoln Hotel. Coming from Kan
sas City is i;ari Laeveiand wno wm

brating the beginning vacation.

70 of teachers
achieve 'success'
More than 70 percent of the stu
dents attending teachers college
since 1925, have been successful
So states Dr. O. H. Werner in
report published in "Educational
Administration and Supervision'
and based on a nine year study of
1,896 students enrolled there.
Altho most of those studied did
not graduate from the university,
they must still be termed successes
because they achieved their pur
pose in attending college.
Thus those who resured two
year certificates but entered voca
tions other than teaching before
the completion of their college
work or married before they se
cured their degrees, as well as
those graduating from the univer
sity, were all judged successful if
these were their respective reasons
for attending the university.

With the winter's formal social
whirl officially started by the pre

Honorary Colonel at the annual
Military ball, the problem of dates
