C THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1931 CLAUDE BOWERS ML SPEAK AT COPJENCEMENT Noted Author and Editor, of the New York World, to Deliver Graduation Address. A second illustrious newspa per man, Claude G. Bowers, will deliver the annual commence ment address this year, Tuesday, June 9. At the graduating ex ercises in 1930, Dr. John B. Finley, an editor of the New York Times, was the principal speaker. Claude Bowers is known as an author and editor of emin ence. Until its recent purchase by the Scripps-Howard chain, the New York World had Bow ers as one of its guiding editor ial geniuses. v Since beginning his newspaper career in In diana, he has served as editor and editorial writer on a num ber of papers, coming finally to the World. ' The national Democratic party has had in Bowers one of its strongest supporters. In 1928, it will be remembered, he ; delivered the famous "to your tents, O! Israel," keystone ad- dress before the convention that nominated Al Smith for the presidency. In the same year, he was the principal speaker at the annual Jackson Day Dinner in Washington. . His interest in the Democra tic party may be due in part to his interest in the founder of 1 the party, Thomas Jefferson, of whose life he has made a thorough study. Among his bet ter known books is" Jefferson and Hamilton, in which he makes an analytical comparison of the two which presents Jef ferson in a more favorable light than his political enemy. For his work on Jefferson, he was awarded the Jefferson medal, July 4, 1926, on the occasion of the donation of Monticello, Jef ferson's historic home, to the nation. v , Besides being an author two ( Continued on last page) Post-Election Sidelights Show Interesting - (By McKee and Silverstein) The 1931 election is now his tory, but it will take more than two days to erase from the minds of those who took part in it, the avalanche of interesting side lights which accompanied the All-Campus landslide. The holy sanctuary of the Y M. C. A. witnessed a terrific battle of arguments, yells, circu lars, tags, and cigars. The cold damp weather forced all the poli ticians, who were not running around in cars, into the small lobby of the building. . The mill ing crowd howled and stamped ed from nine in the morning to five. , ... ; ;: Each elector was forced to run a gauntlet of frantic and persistent politicians before he could exercise his right to vote. Supporters of the two parties waged a vigorous battle for the most favorable positions in this Lline. The strategy of Al Olm- stead, Harry Hodges, and Tom Broughton was exhibited in en ticing the opposition from ad vantageous points. The red circulars of the Gil Pearson supporters were easy targets of rubber shooters, pro fessional snatchers, and. strong wind blowers. However, one Pearsonite must be admired for AGNA ENTERS IN DANCE RECITAL IS BOOIffiDAPRIL 7 Famous Interpreter of Modern Dance Form Is on Entertain ment Series. Agna Enters will be seen here in her "Episodes and Composi tions in Dance Form," April 7, in Memorial hall as the next student entertainment program. A little over five years ago she gave her first concert in New York and the people'were held spellbound. Since then she has achieved wonderful success with more appearances in New York and a trip to London. And so now she is back in this country for a coast to coast tour covering fifty of the larg est cities. : The life of this performer is a fairy tale like mystery. Born in this country, she was taken to France at an early age. Her name seems to be of Flemish origin, although she is half French, which may well ac count for the quality of her in telectual conceptions. . There is also a mystery surrounding the dancer. One self appointed bio- grapher says she never had any training in the dance, except a casual attendance at ballet school in Milwaukee. However the fact remains that when still young, Miss Enters had to shift for herself. She started, not as a dancer but as a devotee of the graphic arts. "I wanted to be a painter, really," she says, and the folder distributee! by her manager shows that this art was One in which she was especially talented. This accounts for the beauty of her costumes. All of whom were designer by herself, and each is peculiarly fitted to the period and subject she por trays. v It was while a student at the Art Students in New York that she became interested in her episodes. "I felt," she explains, "that if I could work up things in movement. I could find ma terial for my painting. ects his courage and effort in con tinuing to replace the posters above the entrance to the ballot room. Chief of the Motor Fleet, Kerr Craige Ramsay, had a busy day directing the traffic of his co horts. Continuous relays of cars were sentto the "Co-ed Shack" to prevent theairdam sels fromgetting wetfeet (but we noticed that more than one walked back) . Jay walkers and pedestrians were continually accosted by drivers and taken to the p611s in classy style. Fred Patterson and Red Alls- brook led cheers towards the end of the day from the desk of the self help bureau for any of their candidates whose victory was in doubt. Cries of "Al bright" were answered by cries for "Speight." Jack Dungan for the third suc cessive year was the first man to cast a ballot. The anti-spit crusade be came an issue of the campaign when some of the statesmen passed out Cremo cigars. One energetic worker for the All-Campus group lost some votes for his side by rising early Tuesday morning and stealing copies of the "Spokesman" from (Continued on last page) Asp Over Three Hundred Students On Winter Quarter Honor Roll COMMITTEES FOR HUMAN RELATIONS INSTITUTE NAMED Meeting in the first regular meeting of the quarter, the members of the three Y cabinets Monday night discussed some of the plans regarding the Second Quadrennial Institute on Human Relations, which is to be spon sored by the local Y association May 3 through 9. In the Junior-Senior meeting seven important committees were formed which are to aid in presenting the institute pro gram. Tfc. committees include a program committee, whose duty it will be to get the speak ers, schedule the meetings, and publish the printed programs. The committee on seminarswas chosen to take charge of select ing the classes whose subject matter might be such that they would be interested in entertain ing some of the leaders of the institute. Others include the en tertainment, publication, ex hibit, house, and conservation committees. The time of the sophomore cabinet was taken up with dis cussing plans for arranging a bibliography which would be di vided according to the different heads of the departments of the institute. Bob Barnett was ap pointed to have charge of the formation of this bibliography. Plans for the management- of the visitors here during high school week were taken up by the freshman group, and com mittees were appointed to hold the several debates in the differ ent buildings on the campus. SENATE APPROVES TWO RESOLUTIONS Due to the excitement of the campus election little " interest was manifested in the Di Sen ate Tuesday night at its regular session. The first bill, Resolved, that official sanction be given party politics on the campus by printing together on the official ballot the names of the candi dates of the respective parties, was passed by a vote of eleven to three. Senator Fleming- Jones spoke in favor of the bill. .. The second bill, Resolved, that Grovernor O. Max Gardner should be censured for his stand on the sales tax, was passed after con siderable discussion. Senators Howell, Rutledge, Ramasy, ana" Little spoke against the bill. Senators Fleming - Jones and Reynolds supported it. The vote was nine to six in favor of the resolution. - Senator Fleming-Jones made his report on the ways and means committee. The third bill on the calendar was not dis cussed and will receive consider ation at the next session. PHI ASSEMBLY VOTES TO PENSION PROFESSORS Due, perhaps, to the interest in the campus election, the meeting of the Phi Assembly was very small Tuesday night; however the assembly consider ed one resolution. The resolution, Resolved, that the Phi-go on record as favoring the resolution that the state es tablish a system of retirement funds for University professors, was passed after much- discus sion. Representatives Hobgood, Brown, KTornegay, Carmichael and Campen favored thev resolu tion while Simons, McDuff ie and Sisk opposed it.
