So meanwhile, old Gerrard will rest peacefully in the hub of University life, awaiting its rejuvenation, which as yet rests in the hands of the politicians of Raleigh and points east and west. Condemned In a flurry of publicity and excitement on the campus, Ger- a rard nail was absolutely con demned and use of the Tin Can was restricted in the summer of 1935. Dan C. Boney, state insurance commissioner, ruled that the gymnasium would be condemned unless additional exits were made and other changes were effected in the building, and these renovations were made in time for the Finals in early June.

Lawrence once marked that he believed in for my sake" and with this went the theory of "Art for Art's sake" one better. Since then Mr. Lawrence has gone where he will not be disturbed by theories of art demanding some degree of social responsibility on the f part of the artist. He has, how ever, left behind a number of writers who rebel against any interference with their divine right to unlimited self-expression and exhibitionism. They have inherited Lawrence's phil osophy without his ability as an artist. Consequently their writ ings become mere effusions of insipidity. And a large. portion of these effusions is taken up with describing others as insipid and as pseudo-intellects. Per haps in so doing, the writers think they are diverting atten tion from themselves. Some of my friends are still insisting on both sides of thej question, and so in order to be fair I'm going to start out by going to bat for the Rebels in Spain. As I see it the Rebel cause includes the right of Moors to fight for Christ, the right of anti-Catholic Nazis to fight for Catholicism, and the right of all the faithful to bomb civilian populations. All of this may be a little confusing to you, but that means vou re not a real "liberal." Every good "liberal" has that quality which allows him to do away with such in convenient contradictions as those above. The trouble is, Mr. Olmstead assures us, we've lost the qual ity of brotherly love. The Loy alists should greet Franco with open arms. . . . And the lawyer shouted, "They can't put you in jail for this," and the client re plied, "Well, here I am." Senator Bilbo of Mississippi tells us that he would like to see a "voluntary migration" of the Negroes to Africa as a solu tion of the race -problem. The Negroes, it seems, don't count First we root them out of their African environment and bring them to an entirely foreign coun try for our own selfish purposes. Now after they have been en tirely divorced from their ori gins and have become deeply en meshed in the culture of Amer ica we ask them to go back to the place from which we ab ducted them. Sam Green Former governor of North Carolina, 0. Mar Gardner, has temporarily spiked the rumors of his appointment as next president of the York stock exchange. His denial was in the fona of a letter to Mr. E. H. Simmons, chairman of the special committee of the exchange. In the letter Mr. Gardner stated, "My professional duties and obligations are such that I could not accept this office if it were tendered." The New York Herald-Tribune ran the story last Wednesday, Feb ruary 9. According to the Tribune Mr. Gardner was to take office on May 9, and receive a salary of $75,000 a year. The newspapers have since carried denials by Gardner and by Charles R. Gay, the present head of the exchange. As a law student here at the University from 1905 to 1907 Max Gardner endeared himself to the people of the state. He took a disrupted North Carolina football team and led it to a 16-0 victory over Virginia. That was in 1905 when North Carolina victories over Virginia were as scarce as hens' teeth. His career springboarded from that event. He had no trouble after graduation in finding peo ple who recognized him as a talented organizer. And his subsequent activities have stamped him. as being most gifted in that field. He was the state organizer of Democratic clubs in 1908, and has been chairman of two state delegations to the Democratic National Convention to New York in 1924, and to the Chicago convention of 1932. As governor of the state during the difficult depres sion period from 1929 to 1933, Gardner stalled off payments due on state bonds. The .New York fi nanciers found him no "bull in a china shop" but a man who could talk their language. They found Gardner a big man, and just as clever as they. So don't take Mr. Gardner's refusal too serious ly. He must have some backing from the inner councils of Wall Street or the story would have never carried the Herald-Tribune. And as the leader of the state Democratic machine, our for mer governor is riding an inside rail with the ad ministration, an administraton that is determined to shackle the business man to the coat-tails of federal control. Gardner may not be in line for the position, but he has suffered no loss of pres tige from the advertisement his name has re ceived. If it were possible for a Southerner to gain the support of Labor as a group, Mr. Gardner would be a logical man to consider for the presidency of the United States. The pendulum that swings back toward organizing and working, rather than speech-making and inspiring, will catch him in its arc. He. has the political sense to know which pony to ride.

If this is true, the small blonde Norwegian will not only be abandoning a promising career but also i i ii -i i xcuviug me iieia ot Tyrone Power clear for Janet Gaynor. (This latter affair hasn't helned make Sonja very pro-Hollywood.) As a rule, athletes are dismal flops in the movies. Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth, Eleanor Holm Jarrett have all taken a fling at Hollywood and discovered that as actors they got wonderful write-ups on the sports page. Consequently, it was not surprising that Darryl Zanuck thought Sonja was crazy when she asked for $225,000 to make one picture. But sha nrn cWwd a I business woman she was by holding an ice-skat- moiuon one night in Los Angeles and gross ing over $100,000. Zanuck immediately capitu lated, and "One in a MUlion" was the result. Sonja As Thespian Both the picture and Srmin ht Cn- tics liked her cuteness, her utter lack of sophisti- wura, ner charming smUe, and considered her skating a miracle of grace and beauty. On the other hand, no one could deny that her manner of speaking was monotonous and that she obvious y knew nothing about acting. (This was merci lessly shown when Sonja appeared in a dramatic sketch on the radio, where, tp cap the climax, she spoke her first line before7 the announcer had e.d ducing her and the play.) hm ce" was an improvement, and in Toff latest picture, "Happy Landing" (Sunday and Monday), both these defects have been reduced to a minimum by giving- Sonja as few lines and c ose-ups as possible, by placing her in a storj surprisingly meaty and sprightly for a musical, by surrounding her with a cast of seasoned enter (Continued On Last Page)
