Hog Challenged to Eating Contest ANN ARBOR, Mich. Feeb. 19—(AP)—A University of Michigan junior said Friday that he would try to outeat a hogi The contest is scheduled Saturday between Paul H. Smith, an engineering student, and Broadview Perfect Lad, a four-months old hog. Both will weigh in as welterweights—at 165 pounds. Smith hopes to match pound for pound of food with the hog until the ahimal calls it quits. The hog will eat ground oats, corn and wheat and wash it down with milk and water. Smith plans to eat from a regular breakfast menu for the first hour and then switch to more sustaining foods, such as steaks, potatoes and vegetables. The contest climaxed a growing series of gastronomical feats on the campus. One student ate 48 oysters and a second bested him by eating 76. A girl student at 12'/2 hamburgers, failing half a ’burger short of the intercollegiate record. Dr. Warren E. Forsythe of the University health service, called the exhibitions “disgusting and silly” and remarked: “You could go and get a hog that could eat more than that.” Smith said he would try to prove Dr. Forsythe wrong, NO TAXES INVOLVED Due to increased costs of labor and materials, the Eugene Water Board must have authorization to issue up to $3,000,000 in bonds to complete an $8,000, 000 Expansion Program—which will almost double the capacities of the electric and water systems. As in the past, the Water Board will repay this money to bond-holders out of revenues from the sale of water and electricity. The voters’ approval of any municipal (general ob ligation) bond issue is required by Oregon Law—but the Water Board, and NOT THE TAXPAYERS, will pay both the principal and the interest on these bonds.

Lundberg, head of the sociology department, University of Washington. The lecture was sponsored by the University lecture committee and Alpha Kappa Delta, national sociology honorary. Lundberg defined scientific method as it is applied to social phenomena in three phases. The first phase dealt with the tools and mechanisms of the scientific meth od. The sociologist must ask clear and answerable questions, he said. Secondly, the answers to these questions must be observed objec tively and without bias, and finally, the sociologist must report the an swers he observes accurately. “The chief obstacles to the growth of the scientific method,” Lundberg said, “are the hitherto undeveloped technological meth ods of investigation and objec tions on ethical grounds.” Lundberg believes that we are developing the needed technology. As for ethical objections, he point ed out that the sociologist’s pur pose is not to control or change our patterns of ethics, but rather to point out the alternatives of action and belief open to us so that we may choose for ourselves on a ra tional basis. Our traditionalism in the field useless codes in Lundberg’s opinion. By resisting efforts to investigate existing codes, we are stunting the growth of a rational system of eth ics. He illustrated his point by pointing out the treatment of mi norities all over the world. “If we feel that a certain characteristic of a minority group is harmless,” he said, “we don’t object or suppress it. But if we feel that it will be harmful, we do suppress it.” One result of the acceptance of the scientific method by the people would be to disabuse modern man of the belief that he and his group is superior to all other groups, Lundberg asserted. “The scientific method might give us a sense of cultural relativ ity,” he stated. “Men have sur vived and been fairly happy under both capitalism and communism.
