‘Theocratic State1 To Be Discussed By UCLA Professor
Dr. John E. Boodin. professo: emeritus of UCLA, will speak on the “Theocratic State” at the Philosophy forum, 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Bowne hall. The medieval idea of the state and the strong nationalism of today will highlight the discussion.

IDEALS TO BE DISCUSSED
In light of the strong nationalism and political realism of today Dr. Boodin is to discuss the challenging of the old medieval ideals.

SECOND IN SERIES
This is the second in the series of lectures on “Political Philosophies, Past and Present” to be presented in the Philosophy forum this semester.
A contrast in the Greek naturalistic state which was described in the lecture of last week and the idea that the state is a mere link in the international civilization of today will be made in tomorrow’s lecture.

Staff Turns Out En Masse as Rumors Die
Don Duke, Trojan newsreel producer. stirred caustic comment last week when he decreed that since the cinematographical activities of his crew included merely a full working week of motion picture classes and study, and because the monthly film entailed only their spare time and a few sleepless nights before the showing, the 68 men under the direction would attend special evening lectures on— of course—film technique.
It was suggested that1 Duke would find only one or two at the Tuesday evening lecture when a studio
cameraman discussed lighting and composition.
But the 68 photographers, directors, and light toters who turned up confounded his critics and confirmed rumors that the newsreel staff is interested in the subject of motion pictures.
Duke has therefore scheduled another special talk tonight at 8:30 o’clock in 4 Cinematography and Musical Arts, with Walter Evans, educational director of a camera manufacturing company as speaker, and has opened it to ail students
Evans, who has assisted the newsreel by supplying projectors for showings and advising the producers on technique, will discuss future aims and improvements for the newsreel.
The speaker will present sections of the “March of Time” -and an English film. “North Sea.” as examples of documentary’, or exposi-tional, motion picture techniques.
Professional newsreel work will be demonstrated for the students with showing of “Events of 1939,” and “Graf Spee Scuttling.”
A staff meeting for the newsreel wiH precede the lecture.
