Prof Fails as Becomes Just A University professor failed in his attempt during the depression of becoming a hobo—he just became a bum. Dr. George Murphy, now a professor of education and director of the Reading Clinic, decided to embark upon the life of a hobo for two months in the summer of 1932. His action was prompted by several factors: the spirit of ad venture, the fact that he had no job for the summer, as proof that teachers are not "wealc-kneed," and since an associate of his had looked into the lives of hobos in the east, Dr. Murphy decided to see what western hobos were like. His travels took him through the states of North Dakota, Mon tana, Idaho, Utah, and up the Pacific coast. Just Remains a Bum In all his travels, though, Dr. Murphy never became a hobo. Hs remained just a plain and simple bum. Dr. Murphy pointed out the difference between the two. A hobo, he said, is one who feels that society owes him a living and will not work. This is the type of hobo that is usually de picted in cartoons. A burr., Dr. Murphy explained, is one who is temporarily out of work or who feels a sense of a. venture in this type of life.

Both groups frown down on the third group of homeless wan derers—the fleeing criminal. Dr. Murphy said that criminals were always shunned and ignored by the hobos and bums. Possesses Deep Peace The hobo, according to Dr. Murphy, possesses a deep peace, almost a religion. His policy of "live and let live" is enough to satisfy his needs. In the "jungle," which is a rallying place where freight cars are easily hopped, the hob- .; usually share a common s 3w and clean up together. The bum usually fends for himself, but Dr. Murphy said that after seeing the hobos' example, tl.e bums soon began to follow it. Th-re are certain rules and ethics in a hobo's life. One of these is that a hobo must wash himself and his clothes once a week, or he is looked down upon by his fellow compatriots. (Continued on. page eight) to daddy. PAGE FIVE
