paper and vice-president of the
senior class.
Having an outside interest in
Journalism, Vahey went to work
on the Emerald sports staff im
mediately after his enrollment.
He did so well during his first
few months that when it came
time for a change in staffs, he
was chosen as sports editor of
the campus paper despite being
only a freshman. His outstanding
work gained him the outstanding
freshman male in Journalism
award.

of assistant managing editor and

The Looking Gloss
(Continued from fage hoo)
hoodlum and all sorts of compli
cations arise.
There is one beautiful scene in
which the boy breaks down com
pletely and tells the psychiatrist
why he has acted as he haa. He
hates his father and step-mother.
But it is the music that adds
so much to the picture. The
theme is that of jazz, which the
boy likes, and which is reminis
cent of another recent English
mystery. “The Black Glove."
All In all, the double hill Is
a satisfying evening, but the
management is to lx- severely
criticized for its length. The
total program lasts nearly four
hours, which rather limits the
female attendance with 10:30
closing hours.
At the request of the amphibi
ans, we re-reviewed their water
show again Saturday night to
find it much improved over what
we had seen Wednesday. How
ever, the findings were still pret
ty much the same.
The biggest improvement was
| in their precision swimming,
, which went well except in a cou
ple of numbers. As to the best
act in the program, we still stick
; up for "Slaughter on Tenth Ave
. nue."
