ODUM COLLABORATES IN NEW BOOK ON SOCIAL RESEARCH Joan's Dancing Features at the Carolina Theatre If Joan Crawford had continu ed to average the same number of steps daily for four months that she used the first two weeks during the filming of her first starring picture, "Our Modern Maidens," which comes today to the Carolina theatre with a synchronized sound score, she would have exercised the same energy necessary in danc ing from Los Angelejs to Chicago. For this popular Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer star, famous for her dancing both on the stage and in pictures, danced practi cally every day for five weeks, having spent three weeks train ing for a specialty number seen in her latest picture. ' Several different dances were executed during this period. The old, but still popular "Black Bottom" and the Char leston" contributed several thousand steps to the possible marathon record. Many of the steps were earned in ballroom dancing during "rest periods" between scenes, when the set musician played especially for the star. One of the unique items of the dancing record is that Miss Crawford danced to several dif ferent sources of music and on various floor materials. During the picture she stepped it off on pavement, grass, in a private parlor car, and in a regular ball room, the music being every-1 thing from whistling to an eighteen-piece orchestra. She Braune Takes Exam For Doctors Degree Milton Braun, instructor in physics in the University, passed the preliminary oral ex amination for the degree of Doc tor of Philosophy Monday even ing. The examination" passed by Mr. Braun was the preliminary oral examination which must be passed before one can begin work on material for the doctors examination. As the original work for this' degree Mr. Braun is making, to gether with Dr. Otto Stuhlman head of the physics department, a study of the cause of intensi ty changes in luminous gasses excited by an electro field in the presence of small amounts of impurities purposely intro duced with the object of deter mining the structure of the" mol ecules of the introduced gasses. The "dark ages" of Japan extended from 1338 to 1673 though during this time many masterpieces of art were pro duced and the lyrical drama was introduced. also danced to the rumbling of thunder during an unusual Cali fornia storm. The story is a filmization of ultra-modern youth written by Josephine Lovett, author of "Our Dancing Daughters." Jack Conway directed. The support ing cast includes Rod La Rocque, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Anita Page, Edward Nugent, Jose phine Dunn, Albert Gran and others.

While Pit irim Sorokin of the University of Minnesota, another social scientist, offers his approxima tion thus : "My opinion is that this is the best book that has appeared in its field." The book itself is one of a so cial research series that is be ing printed by the company, of which Dr. Odum is a member of the board of editors. It is also one of a large group, which Di.

In writing these numerous works he has been assisted by other scholars at the Universi ty. On this occasion his col laborator is particularly compe tent by reason of her work as the assisting head of the Uni versity Institute for Research in Social Science. Dr. Jocher well deserves the commenda- tion that her part in the work receives. A millionnaire says that he has not yet visited a night club.
