Walker, of the edu- cation department, has been re- cently acclaimed in an article in the Encyclopedia of Educational Research, a volume devoted to the advancement of research in educa- tional fields. His thesis for the doc- torate at the University of Chicago in 1934, “The relation of the lions- ing of students to success in a university,” was featured as the m o s t comprehensive technical study thus far published in the field of student housing and treat— ing of the success of the student in the university. His results were derived from more than 3,000 Stu— dents’ records from 1926 to 1931 at the University of Chicago together with an analysis of these students" extracurricular activities resulted in the conclusion that students liv- ing in residence at the school en- joyed a greater measure of mo cess in both scholastic and extra curricular fields.

Will the price of dance bids go up? Will students social life become nil? In an interview last Wednesday, Mr. V. B. Cham- berlin, associate professor of eco— nomics, admitted that these things were likely to happen if some means are not taken to stop the present inflationary trend. Mr. Chamberlin stated that too many college students do not real- ize that inflation affects them as much as it does their parents. It must be remembered that during the last war such things as eggs doub‘esl their prices; and, if no preventative measures are taken, it will happen again. Most eco- nomists recognize that the infla- tionary tendency can be checked, but only if the people and the gov- ernment realize the seriousness of the situation and take the proven- tative measures necesssary. Mr. Chamberlain suggested the fol- lowing measures: 1. a price control law, 2. a cut in “peace” expendi- tures, 3. release of the surpluses the government has accumulated, 4. extension of the social security law to cover another twenty mil- lion people, 5. people should use the additional income to pay of]? debts and build up a savings, and 6, people should refrain from buy- ing additional consumers’ goods. The “peace” production has been Simplemented by a large “war” production, which in turn creates an added “war” income added to the "peace” income. Further- more, since these “war” products are not offered to the consuming public, the added income hel a bid up the prices on the “peace” products. ' The government has taken some steps to halt the inflationary move- ment by offering the Defense Bonds to the general public and now there “is a price—control bill before the Congress. These, how‘ ever, are merely two steps in the right direction and will not curb the rise in prices if the people do not back governmental policies. lMl’OllllllfilNTl lMl’OR’i‘AI‘lT!
