Students DIsc.sa South’s Leading: T’^bleinv - ' T1.U eiaaa in ooatal Studiea of the South preeeoted an intereating educational program on its work and study of the South's problems. Six studeuta and Dr. Morgan, Pro. fessor of Sociology, took part in the radio diacuaaion. The follow ing studenta were presented: Jim Miles, Chaster Johnson, Julian Roebuck, Woodrow Sugg, Robert Jarman, Henry Sullivan and Eu gene Ogrodowaki. Dr. Morgan introduced the pro gram by pointing out that thia coUege ia one of the few that is offerings such a course in a subject recently popularized as the nation’s No. 1 economic problem In a re cent research study. This study was made by men of the South, and thus presents a fairly repre sentative picture of the 8outh*a problems. In keeping with these recent de velopments, thia course, taught by Dr. Morgan, is an attempt to bring the isaues before a class and ar rive at some understanding of the problems, and some means of solv ing them. ' Long before this recent investi- gation,*' said Dr. Morgan, **men of the South have been writing books on tenancy, cotton and tobacco problems, soil conserva)tion, in dustrialization, bousing, health and race problems.” It is one phase of the work of this cl*as to study all the major books on these social and economic problems as viewed by Southern men. Though many condiions studied are also eotnmon to other parts of the nation, they are un- usually acute and more pressing In the South.

GriffU. U. s. Health Dept. Draws Attention To Syphilis Asst. Surgeon (lenerai Addressc>s A. S. H. A. Syphilis control and education in American colleges is a real problem, Dr. Raymond A. Vonder- lehr, Aaaistant Surgeon General in charge of the Division of Venereal Diseases, United States Public Health Service, told the annual meeting of the American Student Health Aasociation at the Hotel New Yorker in New York City. In Dr. Vonderlehr's opinion, this prob. lem can best be solved by a con certed cooperative effort of college physicians, studenta and the states. ‘*In large measure,” Dr. Vonder- lehr said, **college authoritlea re alize that there is necessity for fighting syphilis on every front, including the college campus .... Throughout the nation a trend to ward more attention to this prob lem is in evidence. In many caaes, programs have been called for by students themselves, and their call has been heeded by many college authorities. These are healthy sign*.” Dr. Vonderlehr drew attention to the recently-published ‘‘Study of Syphilis In American Colleges,” by staff members of the Division of Venereal Diseases of the Unit ed States Public Hi^alth Service, and pointed out that on the basis of 78,388 blocid tests, the largest sample yet taken among college studenta, the prevalence of syphil- ia among white college studenta ia 19.9 per 10,000, and la not signifi cantly different from the rate for the comparable group in the gen eral population. The rate for ne. gro studenta. 268 per 10,000, also is comparable with that for the general negro population of a cor responding age-group and the slightly lower rate among college women is in Hne with the national Tigures. Size of enrollment, type of institution, or geographic loca tion has no bearing on the rat* of •yphilla, which la constant at ap proximately two per 1,000 In all cases for white students. Dr. VondeHehr pointed out, how ever, that much syphilis among college students la not found by methods at present in use. *Tall- ore to detect the hidden manifes- tationa of syphilis is frequent.** he said. “Many infe<*ted persona do not know that they have syphilis, and therefore they do not request examination.
