MIGHT GIVES TALK ON TRAVELS Education Professor Relates to Freshmen Anecdotes of His Trip to Mesopotamia. Dr. E. W. Knight, of the de partment of education and di rector of the coming session of summer school, entertained the freshman class at their regular assembly period yesterday. After giving a brief resume of the organization and advantages of the next summer school, Dr. Knight related several amusing incidents which occurred during his trip to Mesopotamia and the Holy Land. "Insha'llah" Knight's impression gained from his experiences with the Mohammedans ' centered around their expression, "Insha'llah," meaning "if the Lord, or -Allah, is willing." According to him, these people of the East base most of their actyms on that one Phrase. " Speaking now in a more seri ous vein, Dr, Knight described the improvements which the in troduction of the science of travel had wrought in'that part of the world. "It is now possi ble to make an automobile trip across the desert in 28 hours ; a trip which formerly took 35 days even when traveling with a fast camel." .

Before that he had been at the head of an enamel factory in Massachusetts. Up until his period of study in Europe he had considered painty ing purely as a hobby, but varf-; ous one-man shows of his works encouraged him to devote more and more time to the art.

E.'s and Beta's Follow m Fall Quarter Average. Today is co-ed day, for today is published the announcement of fall fraternity quarter aver ages; and Pi Beta Phi and Chi Omega top" the list. S. A. -E., gallant toward the ladies but re lentless to male scholastic foes, placed third to get, off to a good start -toward winning the men's fraternity cup for the second year m succession. The smartest boys of f raterni ty court were followed in order by Beta Theta Pi, Theta Kappa Nu, Sigma Delta, Zeta Beta Tau, and D. K. E. It is expected that about eight of the twenty-seven fraternities will fall below the academic average, which has not yet been compiled. . Chi Omega led the fraternities for the year 1933-34, and came very close to the " Pi Phi's this fall. The Chi O's were followed last year by Sigma Delta and S. A. E. Siffma Delta was ' not eligible for the cup because it is not a national fraternity. - The f raternitv average , this fall is 3.02, as compared with the 3.09 scored for the whole school year of 1933-34. Scoring is on an inverse basis, beginning with one point for a'grade of "A'and going to six points for "F;" so that the higher the grade, the lower the scoring. . The number of fraternity members counted in the scoring was 410, as compared with 397 for last year.

Course Is Offered In Oral Literature Subject Suggested by Hardin Craig for English Majors. The department of English is offering a; new course in the oral reading of literature during the spring quarter to be held at 12 o'clock in Gerrard hall. This course is an outgrowth of the belief that it is important that all teachers of literature should be able to read well and to understand the fundamental principles of oral reading. It is desirable that all English majors who are taking the teach ers' certificate should take a course made up partly of speech fundamentals and partly of - the principles of the oral interpreta tions of literature.' The course, English 42, was recommended by Professor Har din S, Craig, though he recom mended that such a course not be obligatory for those English ma jors who have taken a consid erable amount of speech work.

U.S. OPPOSING RESTRICTION Never in the history of the world, said Dr. Claudius T. Murchison to a large audience, in Gerrard hall lastnight, has there been such a period as to day "in which such a conscious and concerted effort has been made universally to bring atjout the destruction of the exchange of commodities." The director of the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, on leave from the University, went on to show the efforts which nations throughout the world have made to curtail international trade.
