Day Editor This Issue—Mary McLean Night Editor This Issue— Myron Griffin Assistant Night Editor—Tom Pumfrey THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1928 Congratulations— Tongue in Cheek THE students have spoken; the student body lias chosen its roster-full of officers for next year. Of course the Emerald congratu lates the winners—not because they have proved themselves better fitted for the job than their late rivals, not becauso of our assurance that they aro bringing great things to the administration of student af fairs—but only because it is custom ary. A winner is loved anywhere by everyone. We aro glad that these particular candidates aro next year’s officers just because the students wanted them. And this sort of recommen dation, in as compact a neighbor hood as the University is, means J something personally. They have been stamped approved by the A. U. O., it remains for them to measure up to the mark. If wo tell the losers that they didn’t lose much, we imply an un thinkable corollary—so wo only be stow a kindly pat here and pass on. The Emerald retains its opinion that the time to congratulate a stu dent body officer is when ho has completed his term. After ho has served a year or so without more frailties than virtues being discov ered against him; when ho is old in office, forgotten of the politicians, bereft of his coterie of flattering prestige-seekers; then—then is the time for congratulations. So the sincerest word of goodwill which the Emerald has to cheer the winners is this: we hope that a year from today you will be us besieged with well-wishing friends as you are at the moment. Baiting the Die-hards Of Evolution "C' VOLUTION, the now monthly published “to combat bigotry and superstition, and develop the open mind by popularizing natural science,” combatted a popular pre judice prevalent even among its own cohorts in last month’s issue. It released the findings of a ques tionnaire distributed among the col lege presidents of the country which prove that the solid South is not so solid as is thought in its antipathy to science. Out of the JifiO which the pro evolutionary organ approached with: Is evolution taught in your institu tion? Is it taught as fact or as mere theory? Do you consider evo lution a fact? Should teaching evo lution bo prohibited by law? only eighty-three chose to respond, even though the answers were held in confidence. Reply to the direct per sonal challenge of the university presidents’ scientific credo was dodged in more than twenty per cent of the instances reported. Aside from the interest in the questionnaire ns a commentary on the absence of opinion among col lege heads on controversial topics— evolution’s refutations did not ex pire with Bryan—it shows that in liberality South compares favorably with North, Midwest with West in teaching recognized scientific, facts without deferring unduly to their conflicts with other doctrines. From the entire survey made by Evolution, the shadow of supersti tious tyranny over the collegiate prospect is not so black as one might be led to believe by listening to the anti-everythings. None the less, as long as five college presi dents in the country say they want to see evolutionary instruction made illegal, the scene is not so rosy either. Growing Importance of German Journalism Pointed Out by Dean “Wo are going to recommend Gor man on an equality with Frcneh for journalism majors in tho future,” said Dean Allen of tlio sehool of journalism in a talk with the Emer ald reporter yesterday. “For thoso planning to bo journalism teaehers German is rapidly hemming a neces sity, on account of the growing vol ume of literature concerning news papers that is springing up in Ger many. Those people are beginning to wake up to the fact that they now have nobody to rule them but them selves, and they are realizing the importance of the press as n factor in government. “They are studying tlio newspa per game with all the thoroughness for which they are famous- -going after it from a scientific, analytic, detailed standpoint, and what they have to say about it is worth know ing. They are turning out newspapers over there that we would do well to study for their strong editorial in terpretation, their accuracy, and their thoroughness. News is handled in Germany with an erudite euro and a scholarly editorial manner that is quite different from our own snappy vigorous procedure. We are quicker, while they are more learned.” Mr. Allen said that news seorics in many German papers are signed l y the writer w ith a symbol, such j as a star or a cross. Editorial com ment is embodied in the story. More serious attention is given in their papers to art, literature, and the drama, which are considered more i important points of the paper. In this connection Mr. Allen called , attention to Cologne Press Exposi-| ticn, or "The i'ressa.” us it G of fically designated. Newspapers from all over tho world are sending ex hibits to tliis show, whieli will bo the first of its kind and seope ever given, Copies of the Emerald and other campus publications, as well in a number of photographs of journalism activities and equipment will bo shown along with exhibits of other colleges and universities. The press of the whole world is in vited to be, the guests of the tier man press in this great show, which is to be held from May to October of this year. One hundred acres of ground, and Iti acres of buildings arc filled by this mammoth exhibi tion. “The Hermans are a business peo ple like the Americans," said Dean Allen in continuing. "When I was there last'year 1 was impressed with the tremendous vitality and enthu siasm with which they are going ahead. They eau compete with us on cm own grounds of organization, sconce, and efficiency. The war idea is forgotten—their energy is ex pending itself on the arts, literature, the press, and business. Everybody is going to be talking about the Cirmuns when it is realized what they've accomplished over there.” Eijjht Enjoy Infirmary During Nice Weather Eight students were under the nurses' supervision at the infirmary yesterday, despite the prevalence of sunshine and warmth.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS "OKMNX " sKVCy SEF.RS Pilm Tips COLONIAL—“A MAN’S PAST.” A famous young French physician, unjustly imprisoned, escapes and achieves new triumphs in his pro fession under an assumed name. His former jailer accidentally meets and recognizes him, hut is seriously wounded by a friend of the doctor before he can disclose the latter’s identity. The tradition of the doc tor 's profession that life must be saved at till cost, triumphs over the temptation to allow death to dispose of his enemy, and the wounded of ficer is saved. The developments of the plot keep one continually inter ested, and the acting of Conrad Veidt, supplemented by a splendid supporting cast including Arthur Edward Carcw, Barbara Bradford, and Ian Keith, make, this photeplay much better than the average.

Second day —“DANCE MAGIC” as written by eftrence Buddington Kelland was a sparkling l.v brilliant novel but so-mewher® in the course of nyivie making the brilliance was lost and only a frothy sparkle remains. The leading roles were well played by Pauline Stark and B(3i Lyon. Several of the lesser roles were very badly acted. However, for those in terested in the dance, the picture will be entirely satisfactory, for not only are the dances which are inti mated in the titles beautifully done but they are staged in gorgeous and awe-inspiring settings.

Many Vacancies On Faculty Staff Educators Eager To Teach Here, Dr. Hall Reports Faculty vacancies resulting from leaves of absence and resignations will be filled by an unusually cap able and widely experienced group of educators in 1928-29, President Arnold Bennett Hall has announced. President Hall has just returned from an extensive trip through the south and middle west. While on the trip Dr. Hall interviewed sev eral candidates for positions and declared that educators arc eager to come to this part of the country. The board of regents meets early in May to consider the appointments which have been already arranged. These cannot bo announced until they have been confirmed by the board of regents. The change this year has been larger than usual, and several fac ulty men have accepted important positions with eastern institutions. Dr. Hall does not view this with alarm; he declared that this is in reality a form of recognition for the university, since the men have developed their talents here. Many of the absentees for the next year are on leave of absence, and will return the following year to give A Treasured Gift— Your Portrait for Mother s Day We have Cap and Gowns for Your Commencement Picture Romane Studio Over J.
