Sociologist to Head Conference
On Campus Beginning March 23
By Ann Gidilewich
"Yes, it's true that children can
marry, so far as state law goes. In
a number of states a boy may legally marry at fourteen, a girl at
twelve. But real marriage, the effective union of two personalities is
scarcely possible except to two persons who have grown up." This is a
statement by Dr. Paul Popenoe,
general director of the American Institute of Family Relations.
In connection with this, "Growing
Up Emotionally" and "Looking Forward to Marriage" will be among
the topics Dr. Popenoe will discuss
at the conference on "Youth in a
World at War" to be conducted at
Central Michigan College March 23
to 29.
All groups on the campus will
have opportunities to hear talks of
vital interest to them during the
course of the week. "Campus Life
and Social Adjustment" and "Is
There a New Morality?" should concern every college student.
Seniors who are teaching and
sophomores on a two-year limited
curriculum  will  hear   the   address
"The Family-centered School."
"Youth in a World at War" will
be discussed from several other angles to present a comprehensive picture of the problems of young people in the present crisis.

Last Dance!
Bud Benford Fulfills Second
Engagement of Series at
Keeler Union.
The attendance at tonight's after-
dinner dance will be one item to determine whether or not these dances
can be continued. Bud Benford's trio
was given a two-week contract to
stimulate interest but met little
more enthusiasm last Wednesday
night. Tonight is the last engagement of the orchestra and may be
the last of the dime dances unless
enough interest is shown to warrant
their continuance.
Because of the success of these
dances last year they were resumed
last semester with recordings to furnish the music.
These dances are sponsored by the
Student Social Activities Committee
and held every Wednesday between
6:30 and 7:30 p. m. in Keeler Union
Ballroom. Price of admission is 10
cents.
X-RAY
All freshmen, seniors and two-
year limited students who did hot
have their X-rays for tuberculosis in January, should make appointments for them today or
tomorrow, March 11 and 12, at
the health service. The Michigan Public Health Mobile X-Ray
Unit will be here Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 16 amd 17, to
complete the work they could not
finish in January because of lack
of film. Any student may take
advantage of these free X-rays.
Two cases of tuberculosis were
found in the January group
which might have become serious
had they not been discovered.

In April 6 Lecture
Topic to Be "The Battle for
Tin and Rubber."
Carveth Wells has been definitely
engaged to speak for the last num
ber of the 1942 lecture series on
April 6. A telegram to this effect
was received from Mr. Wells' busi«-
ness manager by Dean C. C. Barnes
last week-end. Wells was to have
spoken here on February 25 on "The
Battle for Tin and Rubber", but a
serious illness prevented his appearance.
Carveth Wells is an engineer, explorer, lecturer, writer, naturalist,
and motion picture producer with
a wealth of intimate personal knowledge of the subject he discusses.
With the present emphasis on Far
Eastern affairs, his lecture should
be of great interest to all.
Rural Conclave
Starts Next Week
The Rural Life Conference to be
held March 18-20 may be of particular interest to Central students
since many will be teaching next
year in rural schools or in small
high schools which derive the greater share of their students from the
surrounding farm areas. It is necessary for good instructors and leaders in these communities to understand the problems of the children
and their parents.
Speeches' and panel discussions
will evolve around the responsibilities of the rural church and school
and how they can best strengthen
democracy's first lines of defense.
All students interested in rural
people and the problems of country
living are urged to attend.
