for the regular contest because
they have 'completed college worjc
prior to this semester.
There will be first and second
prizes fof the two students making
the highest grades in the exaiq,
Caddess stated. He added that
there will be awarded first, second,
prizes for participants from each
school of engineering. Hence a
student may win more than ope

Moral Delinquency Common
Even Among College Youth
By ROBERT SUITS
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17 Col
lege students indulge in the same
juvenile delinquency offenses as
boys aind girls who do not have
the opportunity for higher educa-
them ever
in L. Por

h, Texas,
linquents in Fojjrt Wort
and of 337 college students in three
schools in Northern Texas.
“It is a striking fact,” | says Por
terfield, “that 100 per cint of the
men and women in college reported
doing at least one of the) acts that
had been serious enough to get
less fortunate boys and'girls into
the courts, but instead of getting
into court the former w^nt to col

To Discuss ‘Heat’
‘(Heat and Pump Research” will
be discussed by Don Vestal, Re-1

search Foundation, at a meeting)
of the Brazos Chapter of the Texas
Society of Professional Engineers, |
Monday, 7:30 p. m., in the EE Lee- |
ture /Room
Not one acknowledge
than three kinds of delinquent
acts.
Specific juvenile offenses which
got into the court records varied
all the way from shooting spitwads
to murder.
Students, answering' question-
aires anonymously, freely reported
delinquencies of the same kind.
“Moreover, the college stn-
dents delinquencies, though prob
ably not as frequently indulged,
were as serious as tho^e of chil
dren brought into cogrt.”
These students in their pre-col
lege days “disturbed church, turn
ed in false fire alarms, tripped
trolleys, threw rocks at cars, set
off fireworks in public buildings,
dro^e while intoxicated, stole
automobiles, bicycles, money, shop
lifted, burglarized houses, forged
checks, gambled, passed slugs and
bad coins, had ^remartial sexual
intimacies, attempted (rape, and
so oh.”
Thirty-nine per Cent of the men
and three per cent of the girls re
ported drunkenness before enroll
ing in college, Porterfield disclos
ed, and 43 per cent of the men in
dulged in drunkenness during their
college days.
One in 10 reported shoplifting
before college, and one th 20
after entering college.
Sixty per cent of the men re
ported premartial sexual intimac
ies, compared with nine per cent
for women, the rate shown in
studies by various other colleges
and universities, Porterfield said.
' Chiefly, the children who do
get into court are there because
somebody complained about
them. j ,, \
A great part of adults’ conflicts
with youth grows out of what
Porterfield chooses to call the pee
vishness, impatience, irresponsi
bility, and in many cases criminal
istic attitudes of complaints.

LAURENCE OLIVIER (left) appears here with LEO GENN
in one of the nine “bit” parts which, he plays in “HENRY V” in
addition to the title role. “HENRY v” will be shown at
the *
Campus Theater Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
der a seven-year contract—with
options! And he’d probably be
happier than he was in the days
when the limitations of the Eliza
bethan theatre cramped his style.
One of his frequent complaints on
this score is voiced in the opening-
scene of the film adaptation of his
historic dramaj “HENRY V”.
Shakespeare has [his first character
actors -at critical momelnts. Parti
cularly would he have) looked to
the cinema to chroniqlg properly
such a story as “HENRY V” whicir
is built around the famous battle
of Agincourt where 10,0|t)0 English
soldiers met and defeated 50,000
French in spectacular Conflict be
tween archers, lancers, iand swords
men on horseback.
While the Elizabethan Theatre
could only indicate with words
and sounds that a battle was in
progress, the film catches the
full scope of the struggle and
in technicolor.
Olivier, jn the triple capacity of
producer, director, and star of
“HENRY V”, has t^iken full ad
vantage of the cinematic Oppor
tunities the play affords and, at
the same time, has been faithful
to Shakespeare, the dramatist and
poet. While adhering closely to
the original, the production 4 has
been enriched by ingenious stage
“business” added to clever and
plausible interpretation of the
text
Shakespeare would have approv
