Why Not Enjoy ...FOOD... ..at,. THE Cally THE CITADEL,” by A. J. Cronin. In his recent novel, "The Oita- deli" A. J. Cronin presents a clear and interesting picture of the fraud and deceit used In the ntedi* cal profession. There is great variety shown among the characters, which are chosen from all classes. Different sections ot England are effectively used for the setting of tho story, which begins tn 1921. Tho action begins with Doctor Mansou on his Journey to a valley In South Wales, where he is to begin his medical career as assist ant to Doctor Page. While hero, Andrew Manson fails In lovo with Christine Page. This timo also marks the beginning of a friond* ship with Doctor PhlUp Denny. His work in 'the valley Is abruptly brought to an end becauao of his disapproval of tlie underhanded methods used by Mrs. Page. Andrew obtained a position in AI>erlBW, which was a somewhat larger town and only a few miles from his pie.vious work. He was married to Christine Barlow just before beginning his new work. For a while they were very happy in Aberlaw. Andrew was chiefly interested in discasea caused from dust Inhalation, and after years of research and experiments, wrote a paper for which he obtained an honorary degree. The Aberlaw Medical Aid Society became en raged because of the time he spent doing thia work, and what they consfilered Inhumane methods In oxperlmentiog with animals. An unpleasant dlaagreement followed which caused Andrew to Vesign, in spito of the protests of the citi zens ot Ahci'law. Doctor Manson bccanie very die coiivaged, but aftor a vacation in France with Christine and obtain ing a new position aa health olU car in London, he again became Interested in his work. Ho was able, after a short period ot tlino to buy a small practice. After many blttor exporiencea, Andrew began practicing the unfair meth ods for which he had provlously held auch contempt. Ouce begun ho got deeper and deeper into tho coterie ot doctors who practiced medicine only for personal gain During thia time he and Chrlatino grew (artlier and farther apart, Bud quarreled frequently. They became very rich, but lost their happiness. An operation per- tormcd hy one of his friends which proved fatal, showed An drew how corrupt auch measures were. He then realized that he must again rise to his former lovol Soon oflei' he and Christine re gained their happiness, Andrew suffered o complete breakdown due to tho tragic death ot hia wife After pni-tlal recovery. Andrew wua forced to appour before the Penal Cases Committee, which tbroutened to oraso tils name from the noglBter duo to an aot per formed by him in London. Immediately following the trial which was decided in his favor, Andrew left with Denny and Doo tor Hope, enthusiastic ovor the prospect of establishing a cllnlo free fi'om alt fraud. — The 'I'ower Times. “Without sentiment there would ba no flavor In life."—^TTinokery. c apital Printing Company Printers Rulers Binders Designers Every Job Produced Satisfactorily as to Quality Service and Price LBT 0S QUOTE YOU ON YOUR PBINTINQ RBQUIRBMDNTB, CAPITAL PRINTING COMPANY 110 W.

In referring to the .unemploy ment problem be said that there were Ave million In between school and employment, and eome ot these were potential criminals antl-soclal addicts, etc., and that the purpose ot the National Youth Administration and the CCC was to help solve this pertinent proh lem, but It had only succeeded in reaching about one-half million of thoso affected.

Students and Students and Students—the Three Types A journalistic feud between the leftists and tlie rightists, with the Carnegie Toch Tartan in be tween, began when the student council objected to tho paper’s edi torial policy, called It "against the majority opinion on the campus.' ^Valter K, Ellis, the Tarlan'a out spoken editor, found himself ouat ed and in his place Katiierlne Thomas, former news editor. He refused, liowever, to resign, plaining, "I have not been warned about tiie editorial policy or asked to retract or apologize tor any statement and until I do havs a trial I won’t resign.” The former editor claimed that he was "railroaded" out becatiae ot the editorial In tho last Issue ot 1D37 In which he wrote, in a light vein, deflnltions ot campus class honorariea and the council. The councli was referred to as a "ploy- let entitled ‘A Comedy of Stoogea.' a weekly stage produetlon holding forth of a Titeadny ovonlng in Hie Amcu corner of the Christian As- aoclatlou ofllce.”—By Ben Dixon In The Daily Tur Ueel. "Nearly all our troubles go back to the fact tiiat we are attempting with one and the same faculty, with one and the same set ot require ments. standards and methods, with one and the, same klud ot dis cipline, to • servo throo groups ot Btudents whose objects and needs are ao difterent as to be incom patible." Wo (lUote from Dean McConn of Lehigh University in ao analysis of tho purposes of the American undergraduate school, McConn be gins hia discussion ot the "three groups" with the "super-klnder- gartena." ’fhoy are the well-known coon-skln variety of whom Wood row Wilson spoke when he said that colleges in America were swiftly becoming country clubs. Stephen Leacock points out that this group sets the social and in tellectual tone on the campus when lie remarked that it lie were build ing a college he would first estab lish a club house, dining hall, and smoking room; second, dormi tories; third, a library; and if he still had money left he might hire a tew professors and rent a room or two in wiilch to conduct classes. A second group of students Me- Conn calls the "Bread-and-butter- purpose" type. TJielr parents are making the sacrifice” oC hundreds ot dollars a year so that their chil dren may make a better livelihood than would otherwise bo possible or iiave an easier time ot It than Dad iiiinself. "You do hot offer them any Shelley and Keats or any Renaissance Madonnast” The last group of whom McConn speaks are his “Real Students" more commonly known as "grea^ grinds’’ and often ''conceited high brows.’’ They come to college mo tivated by certain nebulous Ideals and impulses in quest ot something equally vague. Or they, like Lin coln StefTens, are driven by spe cific queatlons. As McCono points out, the re sults ot such divergent Interests under one method of education are the clashings of the three groups, their contempt and acorn for one another, the "shilly-shaUylng’’ ot tiie faculty, and the dissatistactlon of all.—Tower Timas An old Indian came to town one day, and for Lite lirst time he saw a man riding a bicycle. "Huh!" he exclaimed. ’‘White man liean lazy. Sits down to walk."
