In the past it has been the custom to hold rehearsals for the university division of the band on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The new arrangement will call for but one rehearsal a week to be held each Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9:30. “It is hard to find a time that is convenient for all the members of the organization.” Conrad stated, “but we hope that we have at last struck upon a time that will be the best for the majority/ As soon as the new semester gets under way the band will be cut down to approximately 80 pieces to make the concert band. “We want all of the university musicians to turn out for the first rehearsal if possible, as we are looking forward to a good concert season.” Assistant Manager Russel Cochran said. “Attendance is to be checked carefully and anyone ab- ers, Senate Majority Leader Joe T Robinson cited “the record” to show that the former New1 York governor once approved every basic policy ! initiated by Mr. Roosevelt.

Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers of America, scathingly denounced Smith as a “gibbering political jackanapes.” Secretary of the Interior Harold L.

C.. spok.'? on 'Bergson’s Vitalism and the New Concept of Society.” His lecture closed the current series of addresses on “Contributions of Philosophy to Prevailing Ideas.” “The most important task facing the contemporary philosopher is to provide a real philosophical foundation for a genuine democracy. Bergson has done this in his recent work, in which he makes not money nor mechanism, but human beings the foundation of a society which seeks above all not prosperity nor law and order, but the liberation of the human spirit,” concluded the speaker, speaker.

Likewise. Robinson did not comment on Smith’s assertion that he was “bom in the Democratic party and expected to die in it."

The convict, James Day. 23, a celliiouse mate of Natan Leopold’s companion in the Franks murder of 11 years ago, told his story to investigators tonight, insisting he took the razor, stolen from the prison barber shop, away from Loeb and killed the ‘‘thrill slayer” in self defense. “Day said that Loeb has been hounding him over since he was transferred here from the Pontiac reformatory,” Edward G. Powers, investigator for State’s Attorney Will McCabe told reporters. “He says that Loeb wanted him to submit to certain acts and he refused.” Powers said he doubted several parts of Day’s story, which did not coincide with stories told by prison guards, particularly the part in which Day said he took the razor from Loeb. “Loeb was cut Innumerable times,” Powers said. “I don't know of a part of hla body which wasn’t slash- ed; I would not estimate the num-bef of cuts there cli e must One vas have been across the a! vi Lee sj>ke t< lilji! tO ter, will be held Tuesday, February 18, in the Bowne room of Mudd hall.

Ihe New Deal, Robinson insisted was the platform of the “happy warrior.” The policies of the Liberty league, he added, have become the platform of the “unhappy warrior.” Robinson asserted there was not a single specific proposal in Smith’s speech which he described as an “hour-long harangue” and a “re-hash of confusing and meaningless generalities.” Stanford Fears More Inflation to 50 jugular vein. ’Last Friday.

Jan. 28 —(EE) —Fear of inflation has caused the trustees of Stanford university to seek court permission to invest endowment funds in industrial common stocks, John Piper, financial editor of the San Frandsco News, asserted in an article ln the News today. Piper indicated that the plea of the trustees, which will be heard by Judge William F. James in Santa Clara county superior court Feb. 5, may be of far reaching consequences with regard to the financial structure of other universities. If the decision of Judge James confirms the power of the trustees to invest in common stocks .Piper said, “It may result in trustees for other universities, hospitals and other organizations, seeking the same right.

Although the bonus law calls for payment on and after June 15, Mr. Roosevelt indicated the mechanics of getting the bonds to some 3,500,-000 veterans was so tremendous that the first bonds would not be out until two weeks later and that it wouirf take six or eight weeks more to get out the remainder. Request Will Be Delayed At the same time the president said he would delay his request to congress for relief funds until about a month before the probable date of adjournment.

Advertising Club Will Compete in Annual Inter - Chapter Contest Members of Eta chapter of Gamma Alpha Chi, national advertising society, will compete in the annual advertising layout contest sponsored by the national organization, according to Dorothy Stephens, president of the local chapter. The contest closes February 15. All layouts will be judged by Marie Weesner, advertising executive of Lincoln, Neb. Three cash prizes will be awarded the three best layouts, and all layouts entered will receive constructive criticism. Another step in the ever-advancing fight by man to eradicate the menace of rattlesnakes has been made by Jim Dannaldson, sophomore herpetologist and track athlete, who has developed a first aid kit and snake bite treatment that is an improvement over all other models now on the market, in the opinion of medical workers and men engaged in nature study work. U. S. forest service officials have carefully examined and tested the kit, with the result that the forestry department may adopt it as regular equipment for their employes in place of the one now in use. Dannaldson’s “Snaklt” includes everything necessary for the immediate treatment of snake bites before the stricken person can reach a doctor. It includes a suction tube and bulbs; hypodermic nfeedle; tourniquets, iodine; distilled water; caffein, for respitory purposes; and a chemical solution to oxidize the venom in the blood stream. It is manufactured by a prominent drug concern and marketed by its originator. Dannaldson recently had an op- portunity to give the equipment a practical demonstration. While vacationing at Big Bear lake, a small boy was bitten on the toe by a rattler. The “Snakit” was put to use and worked perfectly, the young inventor said. “Reptile study is merely a hobby with me,” Dannaldson explained. “If things break right, it may become a profession, such as curating snakes in some museum.” The youthful student heretologist is writ tog a book, entitled “Serpent Trails,” in which ne seeks to prove unsound popular superstitions and beliefs about snakes. Among these false ideas are the theories that a rattler wiil not cross a horsehair rope, that they sometimes make a hoop of themselves and roll after their victims, and that a snake will not die until sundown. Information for :he book has been gathered on trips into California deserts and into Mexico, where he has talked with prospectors and recluses as well as gathering many specimens for his study both at home and ln the zoology department of the universitj. Film Secretary Will Talk Today Romayne Goldsmith, secretary to Wesley Ruggles, Paramount director, will speak tomorrow at 11:25 in 103 Bridge hall, on the “Highlights of • Script Girl’s Duties.” This is Miss Goldsmith’s second visit to S. C.. her first being a Week ago when she addressed an evening cinema class. In her speech she will reveal the fascination of the job of script girl, a position ln which, according to Dr. Boris V. Morkovin, she holds the highest honors. As a guest of the cinematography department, this woman will speak primarily to the class of the psychology of motion pictures, but anyone interested is Invited to attend. Royal Geographic Group Honors Dr. von KleinSmid Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the university has been appointed, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical society of London, according to a statement received from his office yesterday.
