Dickinson Changes Booking Policy
Stan Schwahn of the Lawrence theaters today announces that he is inaugurating a new booking policy for the Dickinson in which two pictures will run each week, instead of one, as in the past.
The new policy will be effective this week. Schwahn feels that it will meet the approval of the student body. The pictures that are coming up for the three and four-day runs will be on the same high quality as those in the past.
The registration for the institute last year was 175 and an even larger enrollment is expected for the coming session.

Donald Taylor, graduate scholar in psychology, and holder of a Rhodes scholarship, this week saw the beginning of the realization of his boyhood ambition when he was awarded a University Fellowship at Harvard University.
Rhodes Scholar Accepts Harvard Fellowship
Don, who is a graduate of Baker University, won the Rhodes scholarship for the six-state area here in the middle west in December, 1938, which entitled him to two years of study at Oxford University.
About the time for Don's departure the European war broke out, and with it came the suspension of all Rhodes scholarships for the duration of the conflict.
When it became apparent that it was unlikely that there would be any immediate cessation of hostilities.
abroad, Don made several applications for appointments next year.
In return, he received offers of fellowships from Cornell and Northwestern, and offers of assistantships from the University of Minnesota, Northwestern, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. He accepted the appointment by Princeton University and made plans to do work there during the coming year.
That was three weeks ago. Two days before the deadline, April 15, set by the American Association of Universities, he received a telegram from Harvard University offering him a full-expense fellowship.
As was his privilege under the inter-university agreement, Don resigned his assistantship and accepted the Harvard appointment.
