Stoddard) If there were any University men \tfho regretted not being invited to the April Frolic, they were not the Journalism students and Emerald re porters, who gathered last Saturday evening at the Kappa Sigma house, where the national Journalism fra ternity, Sigma Delta Chi, entertained at a “mix” the toewspapermen-in embryo of the University. The affair was a smoker with the element of joiyrnalistjic convivlalty added. Everybody seemed as glad to shake hands with everyone else as a cub reporter is to meet a big man and get a big story, as one expressed It. Crain Wins Prize. At first there were boxing matches. Harold Young fought a draw with Floyd Payne., and George Colton got a decision over Martin Nelson be cause Nelson fouled him. A prize of two small statues of Scoop and the Boss were given to Harry Crain for the best story of the fight. Four typewriters were placed on the ring side and the men drawing the right numbers sat there to report the fight as it went on. Two minutes between rounds were allowed to write on the typewriter the story of the preceding round and two minutes at the last for the "lead,” or opening sentence. Rapid work and concentration were required, for, in order to make it like real conditions at a prize fight, all the spectators were told to talk an noyingly to the men at the type writers, to pester them—and the re sult was a chorus of distracting ad vice for the contestants. Harold Young, president of the local chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, when presenting the little statues, recommended Crain as the sport ing editor of the Emerald for next year. Minstrels Please.

DALLENBACH BECOMES A SCIENTIFIC DETECTIVE Psychological Means Employed in Discovered Young Criminals If there is any person on the cam pus who has had property stolen and has a suspicion of the guilty party, he should turn any suspect over to Dr. K. M. Dallenbach, Assistant Pro fessor of Phychology. Dr. Dallen bach will subject the accused to a severe psychological test, which he says has often ben tried and found successful. He gave a demonstra tion before the elementary psychol ogy classes Monday. The experiment was conducted in one division as follows: Three vol unteers were called for. One was given two envelopes which contained instructions. These sealed instruc tions were given by him to the other two volunteers—Bert Jerard and Harold Quigley. These two men were lead by William Tuerck out of the lecture room into the hall. Here they opened the envelopes and read their instructions. Bert Jerard was instructed to go into Dr. Dallenbach’s office, take a pipe from the table, then pick up a can of tobacco, open it, fill the pipe, open a box of matches, take a match and light the pipe. After smoking it a while he was ordered to put the pipe in his pocket. Quigley was ordered to go into Dr. Conklin’s office, to pick up a newspaper, to sit down and to read. The two man carried out their in structions. They then were conducted to the lecture room, where Dr. Dallenbach gave them a number of words to which each responded with the first word that came to his mind. Sev eral of these words had reference to what they had been doing outside, the others were words of no signifi cance. The reaction time for the two sets of words was then ascer tained. The experiment worked with out a hitch. Bert Jerard was found guilty and Dr. Dallenbach got back his stolen pipe. DELEGATE GIVES REPORT Members of Y. W. Urged to Attend North vv est Conference.
