ola,” has grown from a 10 watt
station in 1922 to the high-power

near Kenner, La. Latest equipment
is being purchased for the station
at a cost of approximately $100,000.
“Pop” Warner Says

STANFORD UNVERSITY, Cali
fornia. Jan. 26— While rumors per
sisted that Coach Glenn Warner
of Stanford University was being
offered the mentorial berth invol
untarily vacated by A. L. Wittmer
at Princeton, “Pop” himself this
week emphatically denied the re
port.
Meanwhile, it was understood
that Stanford was putting the final
touches on a renewal contract, soon
to be offered Warner.
“I am well satisfied where I am,”
declared “Pop.” “All my interests
are here—business, social, cultural
and otherwise, so why should I
change ?”
Princeton officials said they were
“surveying the entire field.”

Wheeler and Woolsey as good

worries in their typical cuckoo com
edy. Running riot in Reno with the
clowns are Dorothy Lee and Zel-
ma O’Neal.
“The Cuban Love Song,” is one
of Lawrence Tibbett’s most delight
ful pictures. The story is one of
a marine who loves a native girl,
leaves her and tries to forget, and
failing, returns to a tragic scene.
The singing as usual is excellent,
and the plot is well done.
James Dunn on one of his first
steps to popularity in “Sob Sister,”
gives a typical performance as a
reporter who finds competition
great with the fair sex. It is a news
paper story with a bit of a differ
ent angle.
“Beyond Victory” is an excellent
action picture featuring William
Boyd.
Marie Dressier creates her most
lovable character as “Emma.” The
picture, as are all of Marie’s, is an
excellent one, tragic, funny, and
memorable. An excellent cast is
with her, in Richard Cromwell.
Jean Hersholt, and Myrna Loy. If
you enjoy her pictures, don’t miss
this one.
University Dean
Says Modern Life
Could Be Wilder
(College News Service)
EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 26.—Dean
Philip A Parsons of the University
of Oregon isn’t surprised that mod
ern youth is wild—he’s surprised
that it isn’t wilder than it is!
“Youth has practically no re
straint or tradition such as con
trolled young people of a genera
tion ago,” he told University Y. M.
C. A. members last fortnight.
Ohio University
“Super-Cracker”
To Feed Jobless
(Intercollegiate Press)
COLUMBUS, Jan. 27.—Possibil
ity of using Ohio State Univer
sity’s famous “super-cracker” in
feeding hungry unemployed men
and women and their families was
this week being considered by re
lief organizations.
The synthetic cracker, develop
ed by Dr. John F. Lyman of the
department of agricultural chem
istry at Ohio State University and
LaVaughn Dennison, graduate stu
dent, is said to contain all of the
staple elements necessary for a
normal human diet. In appearance,
it is a small crisp wafer containing
a slight amount of moisture. When
eaten, it tastes slightly salty.
According to Dr. Lyman, two
pounds of the cracker a day would
be sufficient to satisfy the appe
tite of the average man. He added
that a combination of ingredients
has finally been worked out so that
the taste of the wafer is “delici
ous.”
“I do not believe that the crack
er will be widely used at first, but
eventually man will overcome his
psychological reaction against mak
ing an entire meal of such whole
some, inexpensive food,” he declar
ed.
Raw materials which go into the
manufacture of the cracker cost
but five cents per pound. Samuel
Insull Jr., chairman of the Illinois
Relieve Committee, it was announc
ed, is arranging for the manufac
ture of the “super-cracker” in large
enough quantities to be used in
relief work.
College Students

“corresponds with, and in some
subjects at least is quite equal to,
that of Oxford and Cambridge.”
Balloon Used By
Ohio Students To
Study Radio Waves
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 27.—Stu
dies to determine the action of ra
dio waves in the immediate vicin
ity of a transmitter this week
were being conducted at Ohio State
University with the aid of a bal
loon.
A small transmitter attached to
a 12-foot hydrogen balloon is used
to send signals from various
heights and the characteristics of
the resultant waves noted, accord
ing to Professor Ervin E. Dreese,
chairman of the electrical engineer
ing department, who is in charge
of the experiments. Graduate stu
dents working with him hope to
collect sufficient data to justify
the formulation of a general theory
describing the behavior of radio
waves under certain conditions.

noscope is now on sale. Students

tive and interesting reading. Get

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 27.—
The opinion of President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia not
withstanding, President A. Law
rence Lowell of Harvard Univer
sity believes that modern students
are more mature than their pre
decessors of a generation ago.
In his annual report made pub
lic last fortnight, Dr. Butler main
tained modern youth is “careless
and inconsiderate in dress, in
speech and in personal habits.”
While not in the nature of a re
ply to the Columbia executive,
President Lowell’s own report
maintained that marked progress
has been shown by the American
college student in recent years.

Northwestern Profs
Flunked By Students
In Novel Experiment
(College News Service)
EVANSTON, 111., Jan 26.—Nor
thwestern University students this
week turned the tables on their
professors and told them what they
thought of them.
While results of an unique e
periment conducted by The Daily
Northwestern were being checked,
faculty members wondered what
sort of grades they would receive.
For hundreds of students, at the
request of The Daily, had cast bal
lots indicating “the course I dis
like most” and “the course I like
most.”
In addition to specifying these
courses, the students were also ask
ed to set down a grade opposite
each subject and another grade for
the professor in charge of the class.
