COLLEGE SETS ALL-U BALL
Finals to follow commencement day exercises

Mr. Patmore also stated that graduating seniors will take examinations at scheduled dates.
Moore expands cinema activity
Having recovered from his recent illness, Harris C. Moore, head of the cinema department, will resume his duties soon, and plans to expand extensively the cinema department.
Seymour Stern, visiting professor, replaced Mr. Moore during the summer term, and will continue as visiting lecturer in cinema.
This summer Professor Stern presented a course on the history of the American film. This course
was mainly concerned with the study of D. W. Griffith, the famous director who is accredited with making the motion picture industry an art. Instead of the technique of content, ideas and motives of ftfms are being stressed.
Stern is well known as an authority on Griffith, and has been working on a five-volume work on the life and work of Griffith. Some of the material from * the book is being used in the course, and has also appeared as featured articles in the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, and the International Photographer.
The British Film institute, the English equivalent of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is publishing a definitive text called the Griffith Index, which is based on Stern’s work. This index is being used as a source of material for Stern’s course this summer.
The course covers the motion picture industry from its beginning and invention period in 1895 to 1915 when Griffiths reknowned picture “The Birth of a Nation” was produced. This course will be presented again in the fall term.
In Stem’s opinion, Professor Moore is one of the most outstanding authorities on motion picture history in the United States, and SC’s cinema department, the only one of its kind, is most extensive and varied in its resources.
D. W. Griffith films that have been shown by the department this summer include ‘'Intolerance,” “Hearts of the World,” “Judith Bethulia,” “The Avenging Conscience,” the first psychological film, and “Home Sweet Home.” In the near future, “Isn’t Life Wonderful” will be presented. The title is somewhat misguided, as it is a story of famine, poverty, revolution and counter revolution in post World war I Germany. “This film was produced in 1925, and is one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of motion pictures,” said Stern.
The cinema department presents these showing every Wednesday, in the afternoons and evenings. All students and faculty are invited to attend.

Japs plan new basis for rule
by Hugh Baillie (President of the United Press)
TOKYO, Sept. 25—(U.P.)— Japan is now on an entirely new footing and will prove itself equal to membership in the family of nations, Emperor Hirohito told the United Press in an interview today.
The emperor said that a democratic Japanese form of government which will evolve in time may not necessarily follow the exact pattern of democracy in the United States and Britain, but it is his desire and intention that his people be made to appreciate the value of democratic government.
Hirohito said that Japan was in urgent need of food. He is much exercised about the prospects for winter when millions of Japanese will be without clothing, shelter, and fuel.
According to court procedure, my questions were submitted in writing several days before the audience and as I left the imperial household departmental building the questions and written answers were handed te me.
However, my conversation with the emperor lasted 25 minutes during which tea was served. During this conversation, the emperor said that he expected to have a visit with General Douglas MacArthur very soon.
In written answers regarding the democratic future of Japan, the emperor said that he believes that an immediate revolutionary change of the form of government of Japan is neither possible nor desirable.
The audience started promptly at 4 p.m. and ended at 4:25 p.m. exactly at 4 o”clock the double doors of his chamber opened and Hirohito entered. He was attired in a frock coat, striped trousers, stiff batwing collar with curved rather than pointed edges, and a four-inhand tie.
Hirohito impressed me as being rather taller than I had expected.

“With no ban on fraternization, summer neophytes can get to know Phrateres better,” Miss Couse said.
Phratere-Ann. official publication, carries all the latest news about Phrateres, and the second summer edition will be distributed by Frances Griffin, editor and journalism major.

President's office notice
Owing to difficulties of transportation and the need of available train space for the movement of service men, the university is making no arrangements this year for the attendance of students at the California game (at Berkeley), Saturday, Sept. 25.
Travel should be discouraged until the needs of the army and navy are fully met. The university has supported in fullest measure every war and peace need since Pearl Harbor. We desire to maintain this splendid record throughout. All university campus programs will be carried on here as usual.
R. B. von KleinSmid.
