Better Known Students Miss High Hat Libe Emerald Workers Head Co-op Browsers Very Mysterious Mystery Stories Are Required by Wallie Hug George Bennett Athletes and the great majority of other outstanding men of action find little time for recreational reading, Mrs. Elsie Belknap, Co-op librarian, concluded yesterday as she thumbed through her file of customers in a vain effort to find names of campus notables. The one group of activity stu dents who find' time ot browse through books not required by col lege courses, are Emerald workers, the files showed. Some of the slaves of the press, who find relax ation in reading are: Sterling Green, Emerald editor, who dis plays fine discrimination in his se lection of books, reading only books of established merit; Barney Clark, humor editor and author of "Innocent Bystander,” who never takes a book out to read through, but haunts the library reading snatches from all types of books— especially the lighter types; Peggy Chessman, who reads all of the new books for material to fill her Emerald column; Parks Hitchcock, who reads extensively, showing good taste in his selection; Cyn thia Liljeqvist, who likes books on current topics. Activity women find more time than men to patronibe the “high hat” library. Jean Failing and Elziabeth Bendstrup both like to relax by reading a well-chosen ro mantic book of fiction. Wallace Hug, varsity swimmer, loves to read mystery stories dur ing his leisure moments as life guard at the men’s pool. Ed Martindale, president of the senior class, finds time to devour numerous non-fiction books, biog raphies being his favorites. George Bennett, senior in politi cal science, during his numerous and long moments of relaxation, dotes on reading very mysterious mystery stories. Occasionally, when he feels a little more ambi tions, he turns to the books of such modern economic writers as Nor man Thomas and Stuart Chase, with whom he disagrees. Walter McCaffery, senior in his tory is very fastidious about his reading. He demands mystery sto ries, tastily spiced with a wee bit of romance. Thus is finished the roll call of the most consistent haunters of that little corner of the Co-op, called the “high-hat” library. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME RULES LIFE OF EAST (Continued from Page One) Britain, Holland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Canada. To the westerner the early time in the east means that he will get news in the evening paper that ordinarily would have been left over until the morning paper goes to press, he can hear Amos and Andy one hour earlier, and enjoy many eastern orchestras in the early part of the evening. The hour robbed from the early risers last week will be paid back next September 30. SORORITY PRIZE TO BE GIVEN FOR MOTHERS (Continued from Page One) This theme is regarded as particu larly appropriate, since the state's diamond jubilee is also scheduled at Medford in early June. Events carrying out the theme include the canoe fete ,and exercis es at the statues of the Pioneer and the Pioneer Mother. Other weekend events are the coronation of the campus queen, the pledging to Friars and Mortar Board, the campus luncheon, campus day, junior prom, and various athletic events. Bill C. Davis, junior in sci ence, is chairman of the Junior Weekend committee. MAY ISSUE Over 170 pages • ON SALE NOW Scanning the Cinemas MCDONALD—“Men in White,” Clark Gable, Myrna Loy .Eliz abeth Allen.

Comedy Team By GEORGE BIKMAN If you're a Pitts-Summerville fan, and even if you aren't, you should like "Love Birds.” The ti tle is a pun on the chickens which Slim loves so dearly until he meets Zasu. They are separately rook e a into buying a lonely place “of peace and quiet.” They scrap en tertainingly for the property. A prospector finds a gold inlay out of Slim’s mouth, and news gets around that there’s gold on the place. Fortune seekers come swarming, and what, with a villain and some more people, there are things doing. But if all’s swell that ends well, this is swell. Little Buster Phelps does well in “Broken Dreams." His mother dies when he is born, and his fath er refuses to see the boy until he is six. Meanwhile the father, Ran dolph Scott marries a nice girl, Martha Sleeper. The married cou ple bring the lad to live with them, but the sophisticated wife bungles the job as substitute mother. She feels that the boy is taking her husband away from her. The father is called away, and little Buster is seriously injured. Guess the rest. Doc Clark Gable By J. A. NEWTON A director named Boleslavsky directed “Men in White,” which is showing at the Mac. He’s the same one who did “Fugitive Lov ers,” which I think was pretty good stuff. This is the story of a young in terne, who slips up one night after everything has gone wrong, and the nurse, a very lonely English girl, played by Elizabeth Allen. The doc is scheduled to marry Myrna Loy, but when this girl ar Here’s a girl! She’s June Gra biher, soeialite daughter of Harry Grabiner, owner of the Ghieago White Sox. When she was offered a movie contract calling for her appearance in feature parts she turned them down, saying, “Im afraid.” Can you beat it? rives at the hospital in trouble, and eventually dies of an illegal operation, which had been per formed by the young doc, the story gets out. The operation sequence looks as good to me as did the one in “Symphony of Six Million,’’ and I've heard that the latter was very good. In “You’re Telling Me,” W. C. Fields is an inventor who produces a bullet-proof tire. His daughter, the very cute Joan Marsh, won’t marry the son of the town’s wealthiest and snootiest family, Buster Crabbe, because she lives on “the other side of the railroad tracks.” Well, papa Fields sells the tire and gets rich, and everything is fine. Adrienne Ames plays the visit ing princess who takes a liking to the homely ways of Fields and puts him and his family on the social map. Announcement of Rules Made for Rhodes Scholars Award of $2000 for Two years at Oxford Is Available for Annual Contest The announcement of, and regu lations for the 1934 Rhodes schol arships have been received by the committee of selection for the University, S. Stephenson Smith, associate professor of English, and George Rebec, professor of philos ophy. Applications for this year must be in by November 17. Elections will be held the first week in Jan uary, 1935, and scholars elected at that time will enter Oxford uni versity in October, 1935. The sti pend of the scholarship is 400 pounds, or approximately $2000 a year for two years, but a third year may be awarded to men who have made outstanding records during their first two years, and whose program of studies makes a third year necessary. To be eligible a candidate “must be a male citizen of the United States and unmarried; be between the ages of 19 and 25; and have completed at least his sophomore year at college. Qualities which are considered in making the selection are liter ary and scholastic ability and at tainments; qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship; exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates; physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways.” Competition for Rhodes scholar ships is held every year in every state, and for purposes of selec tion the United States is divided into eight districts of six states each. Each state committee is empowered to nominate two men to appear before the district com mittee, and from the 12 men so nominated the district committee selects four to represent their states at Oxford. The state may thus receive two scholarships or none in any one year in accord ance with the merits of its candi dates. Application blanks may be ob tained from Dr. George Rebec in Johnson hall, along with further information regarding the scholar ships.
