Verification of the appointment of Everett Vilander to the editorship of Wampus for next year was announced by the board of publications yesterday after a special session following contesting of the appointment by Jack Warner.
Wampus Row Settled
Vilander Selection Verified; Board Accepts Don Sweeney
Verifying thc appointment of Everett Vilander as editor of the Wampus for the next school year, the board of publications made the decision with a 6-4 vote at a special session yesterday afternoon.
The choice of Worth Larkin few-next year's editorship was contested by Jack Warner at a senate chamber meeting, when Warner charged that Larkin had allowed personal feeling to influence his selection. The senate decided to refer the matter back to the board of publications for a reconsideration,
Don Sweeney's appointment as business manager of the Wampus was not questioned, despite a protest on the selection by Art Levine. The question was overruled on the ground that the senate had already passed on the appointment, and that it was therefore unconstitutional to renew the controversy after it had been officially decided.
Everett Vilander is a member of Phi Kappa Tau social fraternity and has been an officer in that organization. Tlie new humor magazine editor is also a pledge of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity. This year he has served as assistant editor of the Wampus and has been a Daily Trojan desk editor.
It w'as understood from senate leaders that, inasmuch as the board of publications has verified Vlland-er’s appointment, the selection will bt passed by the legislative body at Its meeting next week.

Music, original and tunfeul music, will be the order Friday and Saturday nights when Troy's Varsity club swings into its third annual show In Bovard auditorium affair will start at 8:30.
With Cally Holden, motion picture dance band leader, and his orchestra ln the pit, the theme of music will predominate throughout both parts of the show. Holden has been working with the athletes for the past month and announced last night that a complete overture featuring all types of music has been arranged.
TWO ORIC.INAL SONGS Two original songs, written by Jimmy Lane especially for the show, will get top spot recognition, "Dance” and “Reason for the Rain” are the titles of the two new musical features. Gil Kuhn. Varsity club president, will take the lead In the song presentations. He will be assisted by the coed and athlete chorus.
This year's show is being directed j by Marie Kay, Fanchon and Marco dance director. Miss Kay directed the last two shows for the club, but yesterday in commenting on this year’s offering, she said;
"There has never been anything like lt. Tlie whole thing is a witty, original musical comedy with beautiful costumes, girls, dances, and specialty numbers all combined to make a real hit show." SEVENTEEN GIRLS PICKED Seventeen beautiful coeds, all picked for their beauty and charm by Varsity club representatives, will appear ln the show for the first time in history. Varsity clubs ln the east usually deny girls the right to take part ln Varsity snows, but the local Varsity group was emphatic ln Its desire to have the feminine touch in Its production. The complete feminine roster will be announced tomorrow, club officials stated, and they will nil be recognized as Varsity club sweethearts.

This information was conveyed tonight to a gathering at Columbia university, by Dr. Frederick Tilney, professor of neuro-anatomy and an expert on the evolution of the shape of a man's head.
It all goes back to a "crossopter-igian"—a kind of fish that did Its thinking with its feet. If the cros-sopterigian had not come along, man might still be a fish, according to the professor.
“Fish,” he explained, "possess a limited power to withhold their reactions. They are highly impulsive.”
One day millions of years ago an impulsive fish—the croasopterlglan —"managed to crawl out of the water," and that was the beginning of : tlon's I bram structure, and uMmftUtr U
