BURGLARS OBTAIN '
$l7O CASH, WATCH
Enter 8 Houses in Locust Lane
Fraternity Section Early
Yesterday Morning
More than $l7O in cash and a watch
valued at $75 vs e re the loot of bur
glars who entered eight fraternity
houses in the Locust Lane district
early yesterday morning.
The largest theft pf cash was re
ported at the Phi Kappa house, where
$52 was stolen. A valuable watch
and $l5 in money comprised the loot
at the Acacia fraternity.
Thirty dollars v as taken from the
Alpha Gamma Rho house, and $25
at Theta Xi. Alpha Kappa Pi re
ported the theft of $2O, and Phi Kap
pa Tau's loss was estimated at $5
Approkimately $l7 was the amount
taken from the Delta Upsilon house.
Value of the loot at Omega Epsilon
was not computed although it is ex
pected to make a $l7O total.
Disregard Jewelry
In each case the thieves obtained
their loot on the second floor of the
house. Jewelry and other vdluables
were neglected in favor of money,
w ith the exception of the watch stolen
at the Acacia house. Attempts were
made to enter Delta Sigma Phi and
Lambda Chi Alpha 'Maternity men
heard the noise, but the thieves
escaped before the Inhabitants were
able to catch more than a glimpse of
them.
Chief Alfred E Yougel assumed
personal charge of the investigation
at once and has discoveied several
clues which he believes will lead to
the apprehension of the thieves
u short time. The chief was un
willing to hazard a guess as to
whether the burglailes were the wgrk
of amateurs or professionals.

Bezdek Advocates Advancing
Clock for Extra Recreation
Added Hour of Sunlight Would Aid Student
Health Habits, Director Says
"An extra afternoon peiiod for roe
tuition has become practically hoper
alive," Dnector Ilugo Dudek, of the
School of Physical Education and
Athletics, said in declaring himself in
favor of moving the clock ahead an
hour to give students an added hour
of daylight.
"Although the lemma] of all 4
o'clock classes from the College
schedule is the most obvious solution,"
Director Dudek said, "moving the
clock ahead an hour and then setting
dinner hour back one hour would icm
edy the situation temporarily"
"An extra hour of sunlight would
aid in establishing health habits
among students and would train them
for a mole worthy use of then leis
ure time," he said. "A change is also
layered by summer school officials."

PHYSICISTS ATTEND MEETING
Dr. Wheeler P. Davey, head of the
department of physical chemistry, Dr.
Walter R Ham, head of the physics
department, Prof. William Altar,
Prof W. H Pielememi, and Prof.
Marsh W. White, of the physics, de

uate aslistant in physics, and Dan
McLachlan Jr and Herbert N Ward,
graduate assistants in chemistry, are
attending a meeting of the American
Physical Society in Washington, D. C ,
this week.
in the past several years that the
College no longer has adequate pro
visions for recreational periods, he
stated Formerly, the comparatively
few 4 o'clock classes made a change
in the time schedule unnecessary.
"In the fall, however, when stand
ard tome is most desirable, some other
provision must be arranged for the
4 to 6 o'clock recreational per led," the
director of athletics said. "This is
why the abolition of 4 o'clock classes
IS so urgent."
The argument that students rrould
lose an hour of then regular study
period if a two-hour afternoon rec
reational period was instituted here
would not hold true, he said. Stu
dents would tire of play Just as soon
as they do under the present scheme
but they would receive the benefits
of the mho hour of sunlight.
