He butted through a pane of glass, knocked down) the door and contentedly munched at the lettuce until officers cam ealong to make an “arrest.” Bossing Offers Comment On 'Bad Teaching’ Report Dr. Nelson L. Bossing, professor of education, commenting on the statement made by the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching that American colleges are turning out poorly-educated teachers as compared to tests made with high school teachers, said that he was not surprised that high school seniors knew more than college seniors. The Carnegie foundation report stated that the majority of the future teachers ‘‘exhibit inferiority in contrast with non-teachers in nearly every department of study; and they show up badly when com pared in the same tests with stu dents four years below them who represent the educational problems with which they must be prepared to deal.” ‘‘Of coure, high school seniors would naturally fare better than the college seniors in tests of pure ly factual material, because a great deal is forgotten in four years; however, if the test were con j cerned with questions of the think ing-ability type, I would be sur prised at that outcome,” Dr. Boss ing said. “Students of pre-medies, pre lav/, and engineering have had very intensive vocational training from their junior year on, and some have had more lhan that,’’ added Dr. Bossing. “In education we are satisfied with 20 to 30 term hours credit, the least training- of any vocation.” The Carnegie report is the result of a ten-year study on 26.000 sen iors in Pennsylvania high schools and students in 49 colleges and universities. Identical tests were given twice to 2800 college stu dents to measure the growth of their knowledge. As seniors, about 15 per cent had lower scores than when they were sophomores. Litfin Declares Ouster of Upperclassmen Lacking Certificates in Soph Polls Students who do not hold junior certificates, and who are not registered to graduate in the class of 1940 will not be allowed to vote in the sophomore class elections this spring, according to Dick Litfin, soph president. Dean Earl recently announced that anyone who did not hold a junior certificate would be classed as a sophomore and consequently be eligible to vote in the sophomore class if in possession of a sopho more class card. Must Be in ’40 The sophomore class constitution gives the voting privilege to anyqne who holds a sophomore class card; but Litfin declared that, nobody but students regis tered' in the class of 1940, and possessors of membership cards in the class of 1940, are to vote in the sophomore election this spring.” The reason for this step, accord ing to Litfin is to keep out juniors and seniors who may have class cards but have no other interests in the class.'; 1 , , ( Cards this year must be pur chased personally and card sales will close May 1, five days before the class elections. The list of card holders will be checked against the persons who are registered in the class of 1940 and those which do not check will be thrown out, Litfin warned. Send the Emerald to the folks.

For some it’s the blood and thunder shows, While others like romance. Some people like the girlie fotos Some like the song and dance. And still we find the guy who says It’s Garbo, pure and simple. But the dopes who got it worst of all Are those who see Miss Temple. By DOUG PARKER “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” is the Shirley Temple version of the old Kate Douglas Wiggin's tale. The original story was about a little girl who lived on a farm, but this girl doesn’t take much in terest in such things as cows and chickens. This is a cute little Shir ley Temple who sings over the radio on a hookup farm.” ‘down to the This is the same little Shirley Temple who was No. 1 box office attraction but a few years ago. She was cute then and probably still is. If you like her, and that’s your privilege, see this show for critics say it is one of Shirley’s best. The second billing is “Mr. Mo to’s Gamble” with Peter Lorre do ing some more super-sleuthing. Warner Oland, Charlie Chan to you, was first cast as the detec tive, but he disappeared only to ap pear a few days later in a nervous breakdown condition. Lorre was drafted into service and the film was salvaged. (But why?)
