Juba Seeks Hot Clue;
Follows Trail of
Missing Tree
As members of Chi Phi quickly
filed out of their dining room
yesterday noon, the waiters won
dered what had caused the. sud
den mass migration in the middle
of the meal.
"Santa Claus is probably out
in front of the house in his
sleigh and with eight tiny rein
deer," quipped one of the wiser
members of the group.
So they went out to take a
look.
Sure enough it,was Old Nicho
las—only he was in disguise. In
stead of wearing his coat of red
and having a long white beard,
he wore a policeman's uniform
and a holstered revolver. Instead
of the sleigh, he rode in a police
cruiser.
No wonder the dining room
had been cleared so quickly.
Stepping up to the door. Chief
John R. Juba said:
"Do you fellows mind if I
come in and look at your Christ
mas tree?"
Had the Chief suddenly become
a horticulturist or a patron of
the arts? No, Chief Juba is work
ing on the case of the "Missing
Spruce Tree" valued at $5OO, and
the Chief and his cohorts are
now searching all the fraterni
ties for it.

Commission Plans
Aid to Colleges
President Truman's commis
sion on higher education re
cently proposed federal financial
aid in order to double college en
rollments by 1960.
The 28 - member commission
pointed out that the United
States faces a shortage of doc
tors and teachers. The commis
sion also emphasized that there
is a fostering of "quota systems"
within American colleges.
When the report was released,
Mr. Truman urged all citizens to
examine carefully the 103-page
document.
Criticized by the report was the
"quota system" for admission by
which many colleges and univer
sities in the United States deny
learning to "certain minorities."
"For the majority of our boys
and girls," the report pointed out,
"the kind and amount of educa
tion they may hope to attain de
pends, not on their abilities but
on the family or community into
which they happen to be born, or
worse still, on the color of their
skin or the religion of their
parents."
