WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928
Student Council
Rules at U. C. L. A.
TAMES F. WICKIZER went into
** U. 0. Ij. A. student council meet
ing the other day editor of the Daily
Bruin; he came out yes-man to stu
dent officers and faculty-!—whoso
ever will can bid him now.
The distinction of U. 0. L. A. this
year has been a front page column
in the Bruin captioned “The Lan
tern’' and initialed J. F. W. It was
as moody a galley of type as is seen,
among newspapers; glib satire
crackling out in time-like lashes at
whatever was smug or petty in the
writer’s notice. Then sometimes
“The Lantern” shone with a mellow
glow which bespoke, perhaps, an un
usually excellent dinner. But savage
or kindly humorous—which it was
rarely—J. F. W. was the stamp of a
stimulating individual viewpoint
well worth the reading.
A college critic has no great dis
tance to go in order to find his
material. Stupidity and even dis
honesty find a place in the best
regulated institutions. J. F. W. did
not hoed the administrative touch
me-not; ho goaded a sacred cow, so
off goes his head.
The council told tht editor that lie
“was not conforming to the policy
of constructive criticism, particu
larly toward the administration of
the university which had been laid
down by the council.” And it exact
ed from him a promise that ho
would never bo sarcastic about the
administration again. In short, the
student council of U. 0. L. A. has
pulled Bruin’s teeth and taught him
to bob his head when the signal is
given.
The editor’s reply is quietly and
characteristically sardonic. From
the bold-faced box high on the mast
head he jerked his name; in tiny
agate type on the last line, just be
low “secretary to the editor,” is the
apologetic title, “Editor . . . James
F. VViekizcr.”
Oregon Shows
A New Light
rT' 11E OREGONIAN secs genius
in the idea of greeting tljo '
round-the-world debaters with a
brass band, genius which indicates
that the collegians of today are de
veloping a tendency to grant recog
nition to intellectual and scholastic
achievement as well as to athletic
prowess. In this particular case,
the credit for the idea Hailed as a
bit of genius is shared ]>y Frances
Cherry and Ronald “Doc” Robuctt;
members of the student council in
charge of plans for the welcome
home.
Real genius is rare, so it is not
surprising that it is no more fre
quently discovered among the ranlcs
of modern students than has been
the case with the generations of the
past. Instances that university stu
dents are not without contacts and
appreciations of things other than
entertaining are not lacking. An
independent investigation by stu
dents helped pave the way for Ore
gon’s junior college and honors
system plan, adopted last spring. A
proposal which tended to make the
Emerald a mere official mouthpiece
was voted down four to one. Al
most TOO per cent of the students
in the University eligible to vote
have registered for the May pri
maries, a record for the older voting
generation to try and equal.
There is no reason to expect the
colleges and universities to produce
a bumper crop of geniuses, but wo
feel certain that there will not be
an acute shortage of men and wom
en possessed with an interest in the
affairs of life and the ability to
carry on the game.

THE OTHER NIGHT.
That’s Just what comes of having
to keep the entire police force up on
the campus guarding the University
Depot.
COMMUNICATION
Seven Seers:
Unless you cease giving us such
unfavorable publicity, we shall be
forced to take drastic action. You
have apparently spurned our offer
to mail all Seers’ laundry without
charge if in return you would keep
quiet. •
Yours truly,
University Depot.

Sunday afternoon Wendell Van
Loan was enjoying the sunshine
from the sidewalk in front of the
S. P. T. House. A eo-ed sauntering
by was about to pass, when she
spied a snake wriggling across the
walk.
With the traditional shriek, a leap
and a bound, she encircled Van
Loan’s neck, squeezing as hard as
she could. The demonstration was
so satisfactory that frosh were im
mediately sent out for more snakes.
Now three “pets,” Oscar, Rollo,
and Cupid patrol the grass near the
sidewalks and all the brothers bask
in the sunshine when the opportu
nity permits,

TODAY’S DIRECTORY ANSWER
‘“How mAny" cigarettes do you
smoke a day?”
“Any Gif fen number.”
The boys over at the University
Depot tell a good one. A freshman,
who just enrolled at the beginning
of the term, brought in his laundry
for the first^time. They told him
how much it would be, and he re
plied, “I’m sorry; I just wanted to
send this laundry home, I didn’t
want to buy a ticket home.”
UNIVERSITY DEPOT
RACES COMPETITION
Campus Drug Store Preparing to
Enter Field
Two armored ears have been pur
chased, a huge vault installed, aud
several armed messengers hired by
a local eampu* drug store which is
preparing to enter direct competi
tion with the University Depot.
At present, packages arc being
mailed free, but a charge of five
cents is soon to bo established. Al
ready Lincoln, Packard, and Cadil
lac salesmen have begun bothering
the drug store officials.
LIFE’S LITTLE TRAGEDIES
John D. Rockefeller burns out a
main bearing when his car runs out
of oil.
Released from pledge
Is Frances Eork;
Used her finger
To load her fork.
Two gigantic political combina
tions arc forming on the campus,
each so intricate in its operations
that it would vest an Irish stew
with the simplicity of a one-piece
bathing suit. Four victims have
reported to the infirmary. Two re
ported that a cheap rope is rather
weak as a rope but certainly makes ■
a strong cigar.
One victim had a broken wrist |
from handshaking and the fourth j
suffered a'fraetured skull which he
received when trampled beneath the
hoofs of two campus politicians who j
rushed him for votes.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
"Well, we’re sure of all the votes
at the (?) house.”
'vfc'YFN SEERS
McDonald—“love me and
THE WOBLD IS MINE”. “Cine
ma schnitzel,” is the term one not
too fond critic has used to describe
this photoplay. The setting is truly
Viennese, but deponent does not be
lieve that schnitzel is quite the ap
propriate word. The picture is quite
worth going to see.
Norman Kerry, a young Austrian
officer, fond of chasing gaudy but
terflies, meets a country cowslip
that inspires visions of immediate
marriage. Mary Philbin, as Han
ner, the sweet young thing, visits
naughty Vienna and her equally
naughty cousin Miet^el, and drives
officer Franzl to drink. She al
most marries an old gentleman note
worthy for his kindness and wealth,
but the advent of the world war
brings reconciliation and the happy
ending. The supporting cast is very
good.
«■ * »
HEILIG—“Wild Geese”, taken
from the prize novel of the year by
Martha Ostenso, has passion, sweep,
forcefulness; is a living American
theme. The story of a relentless
and cruel husband, who held .his
family in the iron grip of submis
sion.
Caleb Gare, enacted by Bussell
Simpson, displays a dramatic por
trayal. of a cruel and unrelenting
husband and father. Belle Bennett
—wifp of Caleb—she of “Stella
Dallas” fame—who as “Amelia
Garc” creates another screen char
acterization that will raise her to
greator heights than heretofore.
The story was adapted for the
screen by A. P. Younger who has
given this great story a smooth con
tinuity ,closely adhering to the text
of the book. It is one of the best
plays of the year, and is the fea
ture picture attraction at the Heil
ig today and Wednesday. Also
good comedy and Patho News reel.
Axel Jorgenson,' Victor rec'ord artist,
is also a featured attraction on the
same bill.
