THE BATTALION
Four Hours’ Sleep Is
Enoug-h, Doctor Thinks
ROCHESTER, Minn.—The average
man sleeps entirely too much, and
four hours sleep each night is a plen
ty, according to Dr. Wilson A. Allen,
of Rochester, who says he has not
slept for more that four hours out
of the 24 in 58 years.
Since he celebrated his 97th birth
day the other day, his argument was
not disputed by reporters who like to
spend a good share of their time snooz
ing at the police station.
The doctor recommends the four
hours sleep for business and profes
sional men. Those who work with their
bodies may need more, he admits.

THE PAN
By D. B. McNerney
A and M students as a whole—
do not possess acute powers of ob
servation and therefore there may
be many who have not noticed the
many improvements being made
on the campus by the Buildings
and Grounds Dept. We have refer-
erence to the shrubs and hedges
being set out around the buldings.
It will be left to the students—
as to the degree of benefit which
will be gained by these plans of
campus beautification. As a gen
eral rule, and quite in keeping with
our he-man complex, we tend to
thwart all such progress movements
by carelessness and lack of pride
in the beauty of our surroundings.
Ivy, tall, old trees, and hedges—
bespeak of age and with age comes
the increase in actual value. If a
building is covered with vines or
surrounded with green-stuff to cov-
re its bareness and soften its sharp
corners, the on-looker is at once
impressed by its command of re
spect,its peaceful atmosphere.
Although it seems sacriligious—
at times to praise a rival, we think
it not out of place here to call your
attention to the respect commanded
by Rice Institute’s beautiful cam
pus. This institution has quite a rep
utation for its high scholastic rat
ing and surely such an outward ap
pearance does anything but detract
from this envious record.
We must be truthful—
though it may hurt. Our campus
is .void of any real artistic land
scaping, except, perhaps, the few
square yards immediately around
the main building and a would-be
sunken garden between two of the
dormitories. This is so, chiefly, we
think, because the students them
selves, will not attempt to preserve
the efforts of the college authorities
by exercising even the ordinary
amount of care.
Visitors generally commend—
the apearance of the school. Think
what a pleasant impression A and
M would present them if it possess
ed half the beauty it should right
fully have. All the detractive ugli
ness would be covered by a soft
blanket of green in much the same
way we hide our ill-doings from
them by the assumption of an an
gelic map.

Saturday preview, and Monday, Pal
ace—“The Easiest Way.”
Rating: 1—Fair; 2—Good; 3—Excellent.
“Min and Bill,” features two of the
best actors on the screen, Marie Dres
sier and Wallace Beery. It is a tragic
water-front story, spiced with inimi
table comedy, and an excellent vehicle
for this new team of stars.—2.
The third American planetarium is
to be erected in Los Angeles. It will
cost $750,000, and will be part of the
Hall of Science to be erected on Mount
Hollywood in Griffin Park, near the

Nancy Carroll’s new picture, “Stolen
Heaven,” is a romantic story of two
young folks, who try to steal a little
paradise on twenty thousand stolen
dollars. Phillips Holmes, star of “Her
Man,” is Nancy’s leading man.—2.
With this picture is featured an ex
cellent three reel comedy, Laurel and
Hardy in “Cickens Come Home.”—3.
“The Spoilers,” based on Rex Beach’s
novel, tells the story of the law versus
the gold miners. This is red meat melo
drama, packed with action and inter
est. An all-star cast is featured in
this production: Gary Cooper, Kay
Johnson, Betty Compson, William
Boyd, and Slim Summerville.—2.
Clara Bow’s new picture, “No Lim
it,” is the story of a flirtatious ushur-
ette, who smiles at a sailor, and he
gives her a Rolls Royce and the keys
to his gambling house, but she be
comes involved in a plot even more
interesting than the Daisy DeVoe
type.—2.
“The Easiest Way,” Constance Ben
nett’s new picture, is the old. story of
a poor girl who wanted pretty things,
and got them, from a very rich man,
but no wedding ring. The theme of
the story is of the modern type, so
phisticated and frank. The picture
is very well directed, and has an excel
lent cast: Constance Bennett, Adolphe
Menjou, Anita Page and Robert Mont
gomery.
Says Moon Only 100
Miles Away From Earth
CLEVELAND.—Gustav F. Ebding,
of Cleveland, who failed in his injunc
tion suit to keep President Hoover
from taking office in 1929, and author
of a book proving—to his satisfac
tion—that the world is not a globe
but rather that we live on the inside
of a big hole in solid space, now has
a new idea for reaching the moon.
According to Ebding’s theory, all
stars, the moon and the sun are in
the center of this fairly small vacant
space, and the way to get to China
quickest is to fly straight up.
To encourage aviators to fly to
the moon, which he says is less than
100 miles away, Ebding would have
someone give $5,000 for every mile
above the eight-mile limit flown by
an aviator.
Some day, he claims, trips will he
made to the moon within a few min
utes flying time.
