The only answer. to the protest is that it was necessary to cut education- al appropriations at some point and the school of journalism was chosen as one of the weaker departments which should suffer because of the lack of funds. It was the thought of President Walter M. Splawn that the university would be hurt less by the elimination of the journalism work along with music, library science and the summer session. Apparently lie did not realize what a favorable sentiment for the school existed throughout the state. Similar indications of sympathy with the teaching of journalism would serve to establish it as a profession worthy of greater notice than it has received up to the present time. Another guess may be necessary to find the weak de- partment to cut instead of the School of Journalism. STOP, THIEF! It seems that several students have been getting decidedly promiscious in their pursuit for source materials- so much' so in fact that they have resorted to clipping the newspaper files in the general library. Tales are also told of persons who have removed books from reference rooms and of seniors on the campus who have taken books out of the library without charging them with the attendant. And they all plead ignorance of the, rules. Perhaps it would be well for the library to adopt some novel means of1 publicity to make clear just what stu- dents are permitted to 'do while in and out of the building. They might print a pamphlet to distribute at registra- tion containing information on "how to use a university library-its cata- logue, newspaper files, reference famous people in New York quite easily just by going to the perform- ance. The seats were either one, three, five, or seven dollars, and we bought a dollar seat in what they call the Family Circle. * * * Well we blew in at the Manhattan Opera house at about the right time and there were a whole covey of trick-looking ginches, all decked out in seductive garments. They were sell- ing programs. Well, all I knew about the show was what it had said in the ads, and that was just a list of names. So I though if I was to get any benefit myself out of it I'd have to buy one of these things. They were a dollar but I bought one anyway. Then I was directed to an elevator,' and in due time reached the Family Circles It was on the roof of the opera house, but there were holes that you could look through and so get a glimpse of the stage. The program, we confess, was some- thing of a disappointment. There were a great many advertisements, all com- plimentary-like this: Compliments of B. ALTMAN AND 'C0. COMPLIMENTS OF A friend And there were a great many ads from members of the profession. COMPLIMENTS OF Clorea and Trevor (Now playing Seattle, Wash.) But when.we finally got to the pro-' gram' proper, we found only the same list of names that had been on the bill-board outside. * * * Presently a man in a Tuxedo came out on the stage and made a speech. lie talked about what a pleasure it was to have us all here this evening. le said he wanted us all to be friend- ly, both with the actors and with each other. Like one big family, he said, and all the people in the Family Cir- cle looked flattered. He wanted every- body 'to 'talk to the person on his right, whether he knew him or not- even if it was a lady, he said, at which there was a loud laugh. Then he introduced a radio an- nouncer who is well known in the "TitE SWAN" The management of the Arcade The- atre, calling a lull in their constant round of dollar "super-pictures," are presenting the film version of Ferenc Molnar's "The Swan" today and to- morrow-their artistic flier could last them but two days. As a play, "The Swan" was one of the outstanding successes in New York last season; as a picture, of course, minus the sophisticated Shavian dialogues, it can- not be as delightful. Nevertheless, it should stand, with Dmitri Bucho- wetzki as the director and Clare Eames in the role of the Countess, among the significant films of the year. You should not miss it. * * * "WHAT PRICE GLORY" A review, by Robert Henderson. "What Price Glory" represents the mose effective pacifist propaganda in New York and America today. It pic- tures war as it doubtless is, sans sen- timent, bathos or cant; the local pen- ny patriots might do well to be chas- tened by its acrid realism. Yet even the most adriot thesis conceivable could notdraw the months of capacity houses that this play con- tinues to, if it stopped at a mere con- vincing doctrine. It is here that the authors show their keen theatric skill by introducing for their climax a tri- angle theme of two men and a girl. One is a bully by crass strength, heavy and vicious; the other a bully by sheer nerve, hard and sharp as steel; and the girl, ironically enough, is nothing but a ,loggy slattern, a sodden volup- tuary by so much animal instinct. The acting, of course, is flawless. Louis Wolheim, transferred from a similar part in "The Hairy Ape," plays the overweaning Captain, and William Boyd the keener Sergeant. One is like iron, the other like flint, perhaps, and the powerful picture they present is due not alone to their individual in- terpretations, but to the exact tech- nique which foils their personalities in contrast. A great deal has been made of the play's profanity by the scandal press yet it is all so sincere, so natural and in keeping that it offers no obvious offense. As a matter of fact, the The- atre Guild's production of "They Knew What They Wanted" is consid- erably more shocking with its tre- mendous plethera of swearing. In the end, one leaves the theatre with the impression of the love story, the drunken brawls, but basically, above all, the sense of a keen apper- ception into the actual filth and stu- pidity of the entire war gamble. There is the picture of the inju-stice, the stench, the ghastly mass of blood and infected wounds, the several touches of ironic pathos. It makes one won- der it has maede thonsands wonder 9 BOTH ENDS OF THE DIAGONAL WAILIX, U R /MAKE 3 L MANN'S I We Also do high Class Work in CLEANING AND REBLOCKING ATS of all Kinds FACTORY HAT STORE 617 Packard St. Phone 1792 (Where D.
