WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1933; Fraternity Scholarship.-. F RATERNITIES have successfully, passed what may have been a crisis. The increased pledge classes this year will enable many houses to stay on campus that other- wise would have had to withdraw. Financially,r the outlook is reassuring.- There is, of course, another aspect of fraternity' life. In discussing fraternity scholarship, it is customary to say that the fraternity average is higher than the independent average and there let the matter drop. But a more detailed consid- eration of this subject points to a less attractive conclusion. A comparison of the scholarship ratings of the houses that were forced off the campus last year by financial stress, shows that almost without ex- ception they had high scholastic standings. The value of good scholarship is manifestly absent in the difficulties which these houses had in at- tracting pledges - the life-blood of a fraternity. Another comparison, even more eloquent in demonstrating the fraternity shortcoming in the academic direction is furnished by a glance at the scholarship standings of the so-called leading" houses on campus. Almost without exception they' are near the bottom of the list. Now no friend of the fraternity system can' deny that it would be a regrettable thing if com- paratively low scholarship had to go with com- paratively high social success. To admit this would be to admit that a university is a sort of pleasure resort which is encumbered by a set of gray-beards whose only function is to 'organize opposition to keep the patrons from enjoying' themselves. Yet scholastic statistics point to the conclusion that this is just what many organized men conceive the university to be. With the new regulation requiring all fresh- man women to live indormitories, and with fra- ternity pledgingimore closelyr watched by the dean's office than ever before, it cannot be denied that the fraternity system is in a degree on trial. It has been abolished in other schools, and its abolition might be considered here. If this came to pass, the decision in the matter would almost certainly turn on scholarship. So fraternity men may well look to their laurels. by Clarence Mader, organist of Immanuel Pres byterian Church, Los Angeles, California. Mr. Mader is giving a few concerts on his way from the East, where he has been playing this sum- mer, to California. He is among the small num- ber of American organists who have achieved some distinction, and who have been invited by Mr. Christian in preference to foreign organists to play at Hill Auditorium. In the five years since the installation of the new organ, there have been only two organists from abroad, in comparison to six or eight Americans. Mr. Mader is the fourth Californian. Mr. Mader's program covers interesting por- tions of organ literature, containing works of Widor, Rameau, and Reger. Two works of Bach, Choral and Variations, and Two Choral Preludes occupy the central position. Mr. Mader will in- elude one of a set of five compositions, still in manuscript, written by the organist of Pomona College, California. He will close the programs with an entertaining composition of his own, The Miracle of the Toad. Screen Reflections COMING TO MAJESTIC TODAY - HENRIETTA CROSMAN IN "PILGRIMAGE" A mother who drops the memory of her son from her life, sending him to war because she wants to keep him for herself, is the idea around which is built the Fox film "Pilgrimage", starring Henrietta Crosman. It opens at the Majestic to- day for a three-day run. It is said to be a powerful story, lighted with deft and human touches of comedy. The produc- ers claim it has the intimate flair of "State Fair", the magnitude of human drama that character- ized "Cavalcade," and an idea new to motion pic- tures behind it. It strikes at the eternal struggle between mother and sweetheart for a boy's love. In addition to. Henrietta Crosman, the cast contains Heather Angel, Marian Nixon, Norman Foster, Charles Grapewin, and Hedda Hopper. - G. M. W. Jr. COMING TO WHITNEY TODAY - "WHEN STRANGERS MARRY" What happens when a spoiled heiress marries a handsome engineer during a drunken brawl in Paris and then spends her honeymoon alone in Java is the central theme of "When Strangers Marry", the new Columbia picture starring Jack Holt which opens at the Whitney today for a three-day run. Holt, as Steve Rand, engineer and adventurer, meets Marian Drake (Lillian Bond), high-spirited young American, during a farewell-to-civilization party in Paris. They realize a mutual attraction, and come to their sober senses later to discover they are man and wife. Despite Marian's plead- ings Steve refuses to abandon his contract to finish a railroad in Java and only against his wishes consents to take his wife with him into the jungle. Marian, left alone while Steve is working on his project, turns to Hinkle (Arthur Vinton), a scheming American, for solace. Marian's dis- covery of Hinkle's treachery brings on the crisis, after she has forced Steve to return to the jungle knowing she has betrayed him. Others in the cast are Gustav von Seyffertitz, Ward Bond, Barbara Barondess, and Paul Forcasi. THE SPOTLIGHT By LARRY KING THE new rhythmic expression group got under way yesterday morning in Barbour Gym under the direction of Jay Pozz, Play Production prodigy, who was wearing a very chic bathing suit. The boys advance rhythmically in a line holding hands, pause, 'look up registering some emotion and then on the next beat drop into a pose symbolic of emotion. It's really most ef- fective. The Phi Kappa house was entertaining for freshmen the other night when an un- expected rushee turned up. The bewildered brothers introduced him around and then the "freshman" passed cards around, announced that he was a barber, and started soliciting. AN advertisement in the Oregon Daily Barome- ter: "Join the crusade against 'pretty pants.' Assert your masculinity - wear Campus Cords. Tricky corduroys may go great guns with the dance hall boys - but not with university men. The favorite on practically every major campus is the distinctive, conservative trouser called Cam- pus Cords. Its snug hip fit and straight hang 'click'm With even the most critical university men." * * * Most of you have seen Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem: My candle's burning at both ends, It will not last the night. But, ah, my foes and oh, my friends, It gives a lovely light. And here is an anonymous sequel: I burn my candle at both ends, Now I have neither foes nor friends. For all the rosy light begotten I'm paying now and feeling rotten. I MICHIGAN BELL. TELEPHONE CO.

Robert Henderson Verges................... Edwin Grammercy Productions in the grand style are meat and drink to Mr. Henderson, and, when he is doing the producing, equally acceptable to playgoers. Mr. Henderson probably came very close to ex- ceeding himself Monday night in his staging of this gem among the Essence of Avon's romantic comedies. He strove hard to bring back to the modern stage all the colorful musical glamor of the Elisabethan Italianate romance, and (except for the slightly disconcerting presence of modern haircuts among the gentlemen of the cast) he was wholly successful. The play was one of those lovely things that critics often have pleasant dreams about, but ar&- not always fortunate enough to see in the flesh. Music and dancing were carefully and har- moniously blended into the action, and lighting effects were utilized to their best advantage. The names of the principles, of course, are almost suf- ficient to insure good acting; but here again an amiable tendency of Mr. Henderson's was highly apparent - that of seeing that the members of the background cast did capable filling jobs, with- out too high a degree either of woodenness or of individual "mugging" for attention. It was an attempt to present Shakespeare as Shakespeare would have demanded had he lived in this day of elaborate staging possibilities. This reviewer believes that the effort, for the most part, was successful. Miss Cooper and Mr. Peters were delightfully co-starred. To the deft Mr. Peters must go the credit for what, in an inferior production, would be a one-man job of making a play a success. He has a rather rare quality of being human and projecting that humanness across the footlights. There is just a suspicion in our mind that Miss Cooper was miscast as Beatrice: the Beatrice of Shakespeare had a wit and a charm that crackled, whereas those elements in Miss Cooper's heroine were devastating rather than peppery. Miss Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD The co-eds at Wheaton have a novel idea. They propose that each sorority help balance its budget by installing a system of lounging fees for the more regular gentlemen callers But what would be the effect of this on rom- ance? Personality not brains is the reason for a girl's success, a profesor of psychology at Witchitas University believes. "Psychology has determined by actual experience that success depends 85 per- cent upon personality, and 15 percent upon brains," he states. Law students at the University of South Dakota have issued a proclamation that they plan to at- tend open house parties of the sororities on the campus. They are the first group to do this for the past 25 years. It will probably take an extrad- ition case to get some of them out of certain sor- ority houses on time. Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, strange. as it may seem, has drawn more than one-third of its new freshman class from California. Accord- ing to statistics recently compiled, the enroll- ment includes 36 percent of the class from Cal- ifornia, 21 percent from New York, 9 percent from New Jersey, and the remaining 34 percent from 19 states. At the University of Maryland students are subject to a $3 fine for every unexcused absence. FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES One of the best ways to distinguish a freshman from an upperclassman, since the gentlemen of the first year rarely wear the "pot", is observa- tion that the freshman will often run to avoid being late to class. --Purdue Exponent "And then there was the freshman who wouldn't go into the Union Building because his grandfather was a general in the con- federate army. -The Daily Texan A student with a flair for statistics has figured out that it would require 1,895 credit hours, ap- proximately 101 semesters or 50 years, to com- plete all of the undergraduate courses listed in the fall announcement ofathe University of Illi- nois, exclusive of R.O.T.C. and Physical Education.

Mr. Grammercy does a nice job of stooging. Some indignation was aroused in the mind of this reviewer by the work of Mr. Arnold, who should have known better. Don Pedro, as Shakes- peare wrote him, was a prince with a flair for whimsy; as Mr. Arnold reads him, he sometimes becomes almost clownish. A representative con- versation between him and Mr. Weber, who, as Leonato, did practically nothing with a meagre role: D. Pedro. "I will in the interim (inhaling) un- dertaker one of Hercules' labors (inhaling); which is to bring Signor Benedick (inhaling) and the Lady Beatrice (inhaling) into a mountain of affection (inhaling) the one with the other (lout- ing low)." Leon. "My lord, I am for you (slight shaking of shoulders), though it cost me ten nights' watchings (drawing self to full height and glaring)." Don John, played by Mr. Brokaw, endeared himself to the audience when he stepped to the fore and avowed himself a villain - and made the soliloquy convincing, against all the rules of mod- The Deadline for Senior Pictures Has Been Set..
