He arrived Thursday in Los Angeles from an extended tour of educational facilities in India. Pakistan, Burma. Malaya. Indo China, and Indonesia.
CULTURE LAG Commenting on the supposed culture lag between Asiatic countries and the western nations, Dr. Wolontis said that those nations on his tour were backward only in a materialistic sense.
“The students and educators in i these countries are making great 1 strides in the field of governmental affairs,-’ he said.
‘ Students in these countries are direly in need of material for study that American students take for granted. Books, pencils and paper lead the items of scarcity. But with all these handicaps the educators continue their struggle for better schools and government,” I said Dr. Wolontis.
TRAVELED IN GENEVA The visitor, who began his travels in Geneva, Switzerland, told how the asiatic equivalent of the j private school is gradually dying ! out. Government supported institutions are becoming predominant.
Dr. Wolontis studied at the University of Stockholm, where he received his degree in 1944. While in school he was president of the Swedish National union, an organization similar to the National Students association.

How valid is the Greater University committee's survey taken during registration?
“It’s very solid,” said C. T. Gil-liam of C. T. Gilliam and Associates ' of Les Angeles,
“Since it was not a scientific sampling, the mere fact that the majority of the students expressed | opinions may only magnify any inherent errors,” replied Mrs. Audry H. Cooke.
Mrs. Cooke does survey work for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. She made it clear that this i did not imply that the survey actu-1 ally contained errors.
Gilliam stated that the sampling taken was so complete that any errors which might result from its unscientific nature would be lessened to such a degree that it would amount to no more than 2 per cent.
S On the basis of the preliminary survey results, Gilliam stated that a i clear indication should be already evident which would not vary markedly from the final tabula-j tions.
“The survey is leaded.” Gilliam contended. “The fact that seven of the first eight questions pertain to j the parking situation tends to prejudice the whole survey,” he said.
“Those students who do not own cars were not really interested in the problem and their answers would not be well considered,” he said. Students who do net own cars might, for the same reason, not bother to fill out the survey form
To the question, “Do you plan to take a part in alumni activities
the total number of students answered as follows:	f-7
* Yes: 3536 No: 1861 Undecided: 1221
The breakdown by classes revealed that 477 graduate students said yes; 452, no; and 217 were undecided or left the question unanswered.
1429 seniors said yes; 709. no; and 458 were undecided.
Juniors were fairly evenly divided on the question with 876 saying

Lewis Birthday No Mirthday
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12—<l'.P>— John L. Lewis observed his 70th birthday anniversary today, locked in what may be the grimmest battle of his long and stormy career as head of the nation’s coal miners.
Neither his home nor United Mine workers headquarters would say how the crusty union leader would spend the day.
But it was an open-odds bet it would be devoted to mapping the next step in his current fight against his two most hated antagonists—the coal operators and the federal courts.
Rocked by two federal injunctions, Lewis on Saturday reluctantly ordered his 400.000 striking soft coal miners back into the pits.
If they refuse to obey—and no one could say for a fact that “Mr. Eyebrows” would be unhappy if they did—Lewis will be in for another long and costly court siege.
Lewis will not step down now as president of the mine workers although he reached the retirement age today. In Lewis’ book, that would be desertion in the face of the enemy.
President Truman has powerful legal weapons at his command in his fight to force the soft coal miners back on a full five-day work week under the politically-distaste-ful Taft-Hartley law.

25 miles off the central California coast today but Navy search planes were unable to locate it late this afternoon.
The four Navy planes returned to the Oakland air base after searching west of Morro bay for more than two hours and reported they saw no trace of the mysterious craft.
The Navy declined to speculate on the nationality of the mysterious submarine but added succinctly: “We know we do not have any craft in that area.”
The incident was the third report | of an unidentified submarine off the California coast within the past two weeks.
On Sunday, Jan. 29. three different persons reported sighting a submarine off the northern California coast in the vicinity of Eureka.
Al Chisholm, a flyer, described the sub as being “similar to German .designs of the last war.” He said it was about 250 feet long, with a blunt nose ?nd carried a schnorkel breathing device and net cutters on its bow.

He said that the survey on questions not relating to parking was done as a matter of courtesy to the groups that requested them and that statistics would be made I without comment or recommendation.
Arthur also mentioned that he would have information on a car pool early in the week.
PARKING PROBLEM “We have estimated by observation," he declared, “that more than 1000 cars are driven to campus from the Row.”
“We will make a recommendation regarding this when we have tabulated the figures on whether students favor a shuttle bus between the Row and the campus.’’ ‘Many fraternity and sorority people regarded the shuttle bus question as political,” Arthur stated.
“I would like to clarify that misconception by saying that' this is not a referendum, a ballot, nor an election, but simply a survey with as large a sample as we could possibly get.”	*
He said he hoped to have the results of the survey, based on the entire registration, in the near future.

Charges Dropped In Pledge Theft
By BOB WELLS
Three shamefaced Sigma Alpha Mu pledges in a shabby Lincoln Heights courtroom Friday, let a little of the stiffness drop from their shoulders as they heard the petty theft charges against them dismissed.
Judge Eldred E. Wolford of the municipal court's division 30 told Arthur Hainan, Harry Hoffman, and Jerry Adier that he did not believe they were motivated by criminal intent when they appropriated sundry' articles of public and private property as part of their fraternity initiation.
“I hold your senior fraternity brothers more guilty than you,” the judge told them.
However, Judge Wolford said he did not absolve the downcast trio of all responsibility.
“Would you commit murder merely because someone told you to do it?” he asked.
He said that he was dismissing chargtS because he believed that the three pledges had acted thoughtlessly, and he did not want to give them a crimmal record. TJie city attorney agreed to the court's motion.
The three encountered the law Feb. 3 while busily engaged in depriving the intersection of 69th and San Pedro streets of a sign pest. They still face possible university and IFC censure.
