Coaching for Student, Idea Of Foreman Preceptor System Helps House Scholarship Interfraternity Council Meets at Chi Psi Lodge; Program Is Outlined Paul Foreman, graduate stu dent in sociology, who has made an extensive nation-wide study of the preceptor system for improv i n g scholarship in fraternity houses, talked at the meeting ot the interfraternity council held last night at the Chi Psi lodge. The preceptor system provides for a graduate student of either the local chapter or of some other chapter of the national fraternity to live at the house and person ally coach students having diffi culty with their studies. This sys tem is now in effect in a few col leges, but at present no house on the University campus is using it. Foreman’s article on this sub ject containing facts and figures gathered from colleges all over the United States appeared in the July, 1933, edition of “Banta’s Greek Exchange,” national fra ternity magazine. This meeting of the council is the first of a series to be held approximately every two weeks at the various houses on the campus. The purpose of the meetings is to better inform the members of what other houses are doing, and to discuss common problems. At each meeting, it is the plan of the council to have at least two speakers, one to speak on some campus subject and the other to talk in terms of the national sit uation. The next meeting will be held at the Theta Chi house. We feature 15 minutes of society news with our Emily Post of the Emerald—Mary Louiee Edinger. Teas, parties, dances, are covered in this broadcast. Program originates in the studios of KORE at 4:30.

By J. A. NEWTON French Come Through Yours truly entered the Colonial to see “Red Head” with a chip on his shoulder. In the past, for eign productions have fallen short in acting and technical matters, with the exception of “Henry VIII” of course. “Red Head,” thank goodness, comes across on these items. Wherever they got a kid with such spindly legs I don’t know, but it’s a sure shot they couldn’t have had a better actor. He estab lished the varying moods of the 10-year-old boy nearly perfectly. That’s where European kids have it over American kids. They don't have a lot of crazy inhibi tions. This lad wanted to act, and it’s likely that'other French boys take his efforts seriously. His work was certainly understand able, and that’s more than can be said of lots of grown-up actors and actresses. Story about a boy whose mother hates him and whose father mis understands him. The drama is built about the growth of under standing between father and son. Real intense drama here. Also some charming rural French scenery. Apparently it was taken in a small peasant village. A few excellent photographic shots. Interesting note: The actor who portrays the father has a few mannerisms which recall, of all things, John Barrymore. More Musical Customers who saw “Follow Through’’ a couple of years ago on the screen, will recall Jack Haley as the boy who got the jit ters every time he saw a girl. Well, Haley is dividing the hon ors with the other Jack—Oakie— in the job of “Sitting Pretty.” It should be an easy task because none other than our friend Ginger Rogers is also in the cast. And do I like Ginger Rogers ? Yes. Lots of be-e-e-utiful girls. And then there’s those impos sible slapstick fiends, Laurel and Hardy. Here’s hoping they have some sequences as good in “Sons of the Desert” as that laughing one in “The Devil’s Brother.” Story, so we understand, of two gay boys getting away from their wives for a while. Murky Outlook Is Presented For Future Lady Journalists “Two things are necessary to a successful career for women in journalism,” declared John Ander son, managing editor of the Morn ing News, in a talk before Theta Sigma Phi members and a group of women journalism majors at the home of Dean Eric W.

A woman can not expect to stand the gaff on a newspaper if she tries to capitalize on her sex and will not accept a man’s terms, Mr. Anderson pointed out. If she refuses to be stopped by the dif ficulty of assignments and displays a spirit of impersonal good sports manship, she will prove herself to the men reporters on the staff, and the strict tests that have been placed upon her ability will be re laxed. Although he painted a rather murky outlook for the average wo man student in journalism and suggested that she take up home making on graduation, Mr. Ander son declared that of a man and woman, equally intelligent, who are definitely talented in journal isnj and not afraid of work, the woman is likely to produce half again as much material on her beat, and prove more valuable to the paper in the long run because of a greater degree of loyalty. A short business meeting for Theta Sigma Phi members fol lowed Mr. Anderson’s talk. 600 Items Exchanged With Other Libraries Duplicate copies of pamphlets, reports, and other documents sent out by the library as exchange to other libraries totaled nearly 600 items for the month of January, 1934, stated M. H. Douglass, li brarian, yesterday. During the Christmas holidays the library sent out mimeographed lists of the items it had for ex change, so that libraries wishing any of the items might send in their requests. These requests are now coming in from university li braries all over the country. Inter-library exchange accounts are conducted by these libraries, so that when the University library wishes to complete its collections of documents, pamphlets, etc., it can send a want list to the librar ies which have received its contri butions.
