ORITY GIVES VIEW
t the minority, comprising Jus-Willis Vandevanter, James It McReynolds, Pierce Butler, Oeorge Sutherland, in an opin-itad by the latter, held that the true remedy'1 In cases of this was to change the constitution. He law was not enacted as part : my New Deal welfare program,

Landscaping
Progresses
Planting of Magnolias Aims at Uniformity,-Shack Is Removed
Striving for an effect of uniformity in its campus beautification program, the ordinance and maintenance department has taken out some trees, planted others, created new parkways, and removed another shack during the spring holiday period. According to Charles E. Simms, university engineer, a harmonious touch will be added to the campus through the medium of this extensive landscaping.
Most noticeable among the several improvements are the rows of magnolia trees which have been planted along both sides of 36th street and University avenue. Several large acacias which fronted Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall have been cut down in accordance with the new plan.
LAWN PLANTED
Parkways along University were completed during the holidays. Simms pointed out that before the parkway was created in front of Bovard auditorium, it appeared as if Old College were the more important building of the two, since it was fronted with more lawn.
A 20-foot parkway with lawn and shrubbery will front the entire block along University street between 36th place as soon as the two remaining shacks have been removed. They are on the property of Mrs. R. W. Jones, and will be removed as soon as the case now pending in court is concluded. The remainder of the lot will be made into a parking space.
PARK INSTALLED
The triangular lot at the corner of 35th place and Hoover boulevard has been transformed into a park with lawn, shrubs, and trees. The engineer explained that the remainder of the trees on campus are in groves or groups which do not interfere with the campaign for uniformity.
The gravillas between Old College and Bovard, the Jacarandas adjoining the library, and the newly-planted magnolias bloom profusely, according to Simms.
