THE BATTALION

Correction
Last week’s Battalion announced
that Dr. Word spoke at the Junior
Engineers and Arts and Science Ban
quet. TMs should have read Dr. N.
D. Buie of Marlin. We regret this
mistake occurred.
A Chinese philosopher, who has
been suppressed for centuries, Mo T,
has finally emerged from obscurity
and threatens to replace Confucius as
the greatest of Chinese sages, ac
cording to Dr. Y. P. Mei of Yenching
University.
When the new co-op store opens at
the University of South Dakota, six
co-eds will be behind the fountain dis
pensing drinks. Many a boy will be
late to his classes this spring!

SCHEDULES
by Motor Coach
At nearly every hour of the
day, a big comfortable motor
coach is leaving on its reg
ular schedule for the next
city. Unquestionably it is the
convenient way to travel.
The economical, scenic,
way, too.

Board Of Directors
To Meet This Week
Action To Be Taken On New
Buildings
The i-egular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the college will be
May 29 at which time they will act on
the securing of the loan of $2,000,000
for the erecting of buildings, and
making needed improvements on the
campus. Following the passing of
a bill by the legislature which allowed
the Board to borrow this amount, the
building committee was instructed to
investigate the conditions on the cam
pus, and to make its report at the
approaching meeting. The results of
the committee’s investigations could
not be learned, but it is understood
that the first improvement to be
made will be to completely finish the
Chemistry building. Due to the
amount of work to be done by the
board it is doubtful as to the exact
decision that will be made at this
time.
The following are the members of
the Board: F. M. Law, Houston, pre
sident; Byd E. White, Lancaster, sec
retary; E. J. Kiest, Dallas; P. L.
Downs, Jr., Temple; G. R. White,
Brady; Walter G. Lacy, Waco; H. C.
Schuhmacher, Houston; W. T. Mont
gomery, San Antonio, and Joseph
Kopecky, Hallettsville.

marron.”
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Palace
—“City Streets.”
Friday, Assembly Hall—“A Con
necticut Yankee.”
Saturday preview, Palace—“Up
Pops the Devil.”
Rating: 1 fair, 2 good, 3 excellent.
One of Norma Shearer’s best pic
tures, is “Strangers May Kiss.” It
is only surpassed by the “Divorcee,”
the story for which was written by the
same author, Ursala Parrott. The cast
is excellent with Robert Montgomery,
Neil Hamilton, Marjorie Rambeau,
and Irene Rich.—3.
“Cimarron” is beyond a doubt,
one of the year’s best pictures, Rich
ard Dix has made a name for him
self in this unusual picture of the
Oklahoma frontier. The picture is
from the novel by Edna Ferber, and
has an unforgettable plot.—3.
Gary Cooper is teamed with a new
novel of the underworld and the rack
eteers. It is one of the best of the
gang pictures of late. Sylvia Sydney 1
is the leading lady in the picture, '
which is the newest of Cooper’s roles. 1

It looks as though all of the week’s j
pictures are going to be excellent, for 1

Ocean Scene Visioned
In Dance Decorations
Excellent Music And Entertain
ment Feature Last Dances
Accompanied by the throbbing and
syncopatiny rythm of ultra-modern
music, the youth of the campus and
their sweethearts will dance, some of
them for the last time, in an atmo
sphere of deep sea fish and beautiful
mermaids to close the social calender
of the term with the Final Ball Fri
day night. Though the setting of a
huge painting exalting the deeps of a
sea, which is portrayed in a subtle
green, harmonizing variations of sub
terranean plant life develops a crea
tive environment that with the aid of
dimmed green lights will stir the
hearts of the most demure of the
fairer sex.
Committees in charge of the ar
rangements this year feel confident
that the Junior Prom and the Final
Ball will be one of the best in several
years, and have made every effort to
satisfy to provide a complete pro
gram for everyone. The decorations
under the direction of J. L. Keith
handle an unusual subject in a very
clever manner, and with the delight
ful music furnished by Hogan Han
cock, and his orchestra from the Gun
ter Hotel at San Antonio it is evident
that the evenings for these dances
will pass very enjoytbly. The orches
tra has also been engaged to play
during the Junior Banquet, Thursday
evening.
now we have Will Roger’s latest pic
ture, “A Connecticut Yankee.” The
picture is unusually funny, with fav
orable additions to the novel by
Twain, and pleasing, droll, and nat
ural humor from Rogers.—3.

A great human comedy is “Up Pops
The Devil,” with Skeets Gallagher,
Stuart- Erwin, Carole Lombard, and
Lilyan Tashman, in roles that are
very suitable. Another Stephin Fet-
chit, in the person of Sleep N. Eat,
the nigger who doan want no gals
chasin after him. The comedy is very
pleasing.—3.
Unemployment Situation
This unemployment situation about
which so much has been said and so j
little done will materially effect this j
year’s graduates. Few men, regardless
of their scholastic attainments, will i ;
be able to secure the jobs for which |
they have been preparing themselves, j
and the majority will be forced to |
take any employment offered them. '
It is to be deplored that existing con- J ;
ditions are such that the college |
graduate is in no better position than i
are those who have not been so for- ;
tunate in receiving an education. We
can only hope that the crisis has been
reached and that the nation is now on ;
the road to prosperity. It is impossible
that* conditions remain stationary,
they must either progress or decline.
Those who are fortunate enough to
secure jobs will certainly have to do
their utmost to hold them, this in it
self should aid in our financial re- -
covery. ;
Surely we should not be 1 oo pessi- !
mistic about the senior’s prospects '
in the business world after his grad- ;
uation from college. There are many '
ways in which he may profitably i
spend his time until he can secure a j
position. Perhaps the best and most |
desirable way would be to travel. It
is more or less an adventure when
one “ships out” on a freighter or
works his way on a passenger boat. ;
After seeing the sights of the world
he is ready to settle doven to earning
a living. With a broader vision of
the world surrounding him, and the
added experience of contact with peo
ple, he certainly has done himself no
harm.
Princeton University has conferred
the degree of doctor of letters on
John Galsworthy, English author,
poet and playwright.
