To The Editor
Piffle, Nebraska, March 11: (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): Perfection of science’s latest toy, the bla-blaphone, fortells a revolution in college educational methods. The college of the future will be one sumptuous building entirely filled with lounging rooms. Before each lounge will be a blablaphone. A blablaphone is modeled after a telephone switchboard. A complete college cirricurum puls a few outside courses is printed on countless buttons attached to the switchboard. A coin slot is under each button.
A student merely chooses a course, inserts the correct coin into the slot and sprawls on the lounge while he listens to the lecture over the earphones. To illustrate, a student by inserting 7 cents can listen to a seven minute lecture on “The Seven Year’s War”; by inserting 20 cents he can hear a half hour lecture on “The World Mind in the Making”; by Inserting $3.10 he can hear a five minute lecture on “How to Kiss and Make-up” by Clara Bow.
Yours for heavier lounging room endowments,

IAFT IS BURIED E ENURE U.S. MOURNS |IS DEATH
10,000 Pass Bier Of Noted Statesman and Former President of Country.
Washington, March 11—(INS)— On the rolling slopes of Arlington National cemetery, William Howard Taft found a flnal resting pldc<» this afternoon. While a nation nourned his passing, gentle hands ljwered the man who served both as president and chief justice into a grave overlooking countless markers of men who had fought and died to preserve the ideals upon which America was founded. If. was his dying wish—he who lived peace above all else—that he lie among these heroes, and liis family acceded to the request.
The fullest honors within the power of the nation to bestow were accorded the big, jovial man who alone in history had headed two great departments of the government. At his grave, heads bowed in mourning, w’ere all ollicialdom. Earlier in the day, his body had lain in state beneath the great, grey dome of the capitol while 10,000 of his countrymen passed by in silent tribute. The wheels of government came to a full stop while his funeral cortege moved across the broad Potomac river to Arlington. Around the world, guns boomed (Continued On Page Four)

GRAUMAN TO GIVE PHOTOPLAY SPEECH
Class To Hear Talk On “Audiences and Theaters" This Afternoon.
DR. VON KLEINSMID TAKES NEW OFFICE
‘Friendship” Theme of Speech Before Breakfast Club; Asks For Fellowship.
"The Breakfast club, like other organizations, had a founder, or a group of founders, who, possessed of an idea, called upon their friends and acquaintances to help them to organize the project. That idea was the exaltation of human friendship."
In such a manner did Dr. II. 13. von KleinSmid, president of Southern California and the newly elected honorary president of the Los Angeles Breakfast club, preface his talk to the organization when he spoke before them last Monday evening.
Dr. von KleinSmid praised the efforts of the club’s founders which have today made possible an incorporated body with a mem bership numbering one thousand. He pointed out that such a body should keep away from a "one-man” idea, and had, indeed, al ready done so when it placed its government in the hands of a board of trustees.
"After all, the world has tried to make progress, and that road of progress has been strewn with human wreckage, local, national, and international,’ continued the speaker. “We believe that it is worth while to try a new program. Let us see what friendship will do—plain hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart friendship. Perhaps we do no violence in paraphrasing the dictum, ‘greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend,’ and make it read, ‘greater love hatl^no man than this, that a man live'out his life for his friends.”
Sid Grauman, dean of Los Angeles showmen, is to lecture this afternoon before the members of the photoplay class on "Audiences and Theaters" in the Science building, at 3:15 p.m.
Credited with being the originator of the extravaganza type of motion picture prologues, Grauman is often called the "premiere master." He attended school in New Orleans, St. Paul, Chicago, St. Louis, and Cripple Creek, Colorado.
His motion picture career began when he and his father opened a niclekodeon in San Francisco. Their holdings increased and they eventually controlled half a dozen theaters there.
Grauman then came to Los Angeles and became managing di rector of Grauman’s Million Dollar, Rialto, and the Metropolitan theatres. Later he built the Egyp tian and Chinese theatres in ! Hollywood. His long experience in dealing with motion picture audi ences has caused him to become an expert theater psychologist Grauman will describe to the stu dents the various means and me thods of photoplay presentation.
