Night Editor This Issue—• Warren Tinker TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1928 Student Contest Turns Into Teacher Quiz “I have troubles enough without lotting the public gape at the re sults of my lectures.” Ho com plained a Yale English professor the other day as some of his students set out to maul Harvard in a three hour skirmish on the field of Eng lish literature. Ten men, the brainiest repre sentatives of their colleges, com posed each of' the teams who com peted for the prize of $5000 in books to"'go to the successful com bination. The contest was the first of what is to be an annual affair in response to the $125,000 gift to Harvard of Mrs. William Lowell Putnam for this express purpose, with ag end to arousing intercolleg iate scholarly competition. There was considerable attention given the meet in tlie press and it was almost entirely in a mood of skeptical humor. But, according to the report a great amount of under graduate enthusiasm attended the unique battle, from Beowulf to Thomas Hardy in extent. And inso far as this interest holds, Mrs. Put nam’s idea is psychologically sound. It only awaits the prestige which age will bring to it. Strangely enough, tin4 professors demurred more than anyone else The demeanor of the Yale peda gogue quoted is characteristic. From their viewpoint, such a use of divine learning borders on sacrilege. Mrs. Putnam apparently (fid not see this aspect of the college situa tion at all; she was interested in directly stimulating attention to studies. But she has done belter than she knew. She has strength ened a professional bugabear until it is threatening to bite the professors. Pome !o think of it, a public review of what is being taught in the class rooms seems an eminently health ful development. This sally of the brainy into the territory previously sacred to the brawny is not the last of its kind. It is a growing idea that squares nicely with the current criticisms of cloistered education. And, as it is turning out, it may be more valu able as a quiz on comparative teach ing quality than as a student activ ity. A Rubber Stamp Without a User The Eugene chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution has i branded itself as a group of women of courage and open minds. Be cause of tliis, it will no doubt be the object of much disapprobation as news of its conduct spreads to the other chapters of the organization. Censored by the national presi dent of the I). A. R. for not pre venting the appearance of Judge Bt‘ii Lindsay and Kirby Page be fore audiences of University and ‘townspeople, the Eugene chapter countered with a letter defending Iheir back of action in the specific instances and protesting the issu ance of the now famous “blacklist/1 Inquiries concerning the protest have been received since it. was is sued several weeks ago, resulting Friday in a decision to send copies of the letter to all D. A. R. chap ters in Oregon- and Washington. The local chapter was the only one in the United States to voice disapproval of the blacklist which is a reminder of the war-time hys teria that resulted in bans of all tilings suggestive of German origin or culture. A peace-time ban can not lie ex pected to operate with the efficien cy of one made in times of strife, (■allege presidents, authors, and re ligious leaders are more likely to*l>e listened to by audiences incapable of passing judgment on what they have to say, after being blacklisted than before. The local audiences that heard Judge Lindsay and Kirby I'age were by no means entirely won over to the views of either speaker, a circumstance which should not be peculiar to this particular vicinity. The blacklisting activities of the national 1 >. A. lb calls to mind “Big Bill Thompson’s campaign to free Chicago from the spell of British propaganda and the one hundred peiventedness of the K. K.

Olive, playing the 1 part of Angela Wade, one of those ; spoiled daughters, does a role that ; is delicately portrayed. Gray, as ; John Weston, plays opposite Miss Borden, the ,man who is thrown in contact with Angela, when they are wrecked ort a desert island. Imagine I for yourself what happens. A fast moving photoplay throughout, and one well-worth going to see. J. E. C. REX: Last day—“COME TO MY HOUSE.” “Come To My House” envelopes exquisite settings, lovely clothing, a more or less conventional plot, and a girl who was beautiful at times. Olive Borden has possibilities as an actress if She would stop posing 99 and 44-100 per cent of the time and think to keep her lips closed at least in three or four close-ups. Antonio Moreno was capable as the architect in this story of a girl who was indiscreet in defying convention on one occasion and spent the rest of the picture paying the price for her defiance. Arthur Somers Koclie wrote a novel which had quite a good, deal of local color and more suspense in It. 'Part of this was transferred to the soreen. The program was completed by a Van Bibber comedy called ”T-bone for Two,” and a fleeting glimpse -of the Vatican and its marvelous art treasures in a Fox variety film. E. J. C. MCDONALD: Tuesday and Wed nesday—Gloria Swanson in “SADIE 'THOMPSON,” the, story of a girl I caught as;a victim of circumstance trying to go ■,straight. With the sUpifb'rf"of RSfjuT'Walsh and Lionel Barrymore, she admirably . -wins out. 'It is another picture of the glorious Gloria in a daring adaptation <*f the j widely discussed and read story by W. Somerset Maugham, which cre ated a sensation as ’’Rain” on the stage, and hailed by the critics as the greatest screen characterization any star has created. The picture starts out with a good combination of humor and vigor and steadily gains Jn interest^ with a smashingly heavfy climax. It is a picture worth seeing because it gives a good presentation of the tri- : umphant success of a girl over her apparent trouble. As Sadie herself expresses: “Life is a quaint present ! from somebody.” Also the Varsity Trio in a clever, arrangement of songs, featuring !

McCook and Raley, the Phi Psi pair took two hard fought sets from the Sigma Nu’s, 7-5, 6-4, nad went into the last round. Campus dopesters refuse to pre dict a winner in today’s match. Phi Delta Theta took the championship last year, but according to those who have seen both teams in action this spring there is little to choose between them, and tho sets should be nip and tuck.

Lured by Aroma of Neighbor’s Tobacco Boston, I.Iass., April 21, 1927 uarus & Bro. Co., "ichmond, Va. Bentlemen: This morning I had a smoking ad renture worth recording. Next to me in the smoking car a ;entleman was puffing his pipe con ;entedly. I was not smoking at the noment, and the aroma of his tobacco ntrigued me exceedingly. For twelve fears I had smoked Edgeworth with out being tempted by any other brand, out the fragrance emanating from the jipe of the gentleman beside me was •o agreeable that I could not resist (he temptation to speak of it. “That is wonderfully fragrant to jacco you have there,” I remarked. (“Would you mind telling me the name jf it?” “It is Edgeworth,” he answered. We then congratulated each other *pon our mutual good taste, and I decided that I would continue to use ais brand and mine. . '■ Sincerely yours, S. H.
