WPA Workers Picket N.Y. News
New York, May 25 - (UP)—Pickets from the WPA writers and artists projects patrolled in front of the Daily News building in east 42nd street tonight chanting, "Give the News editors the do, we want jobs," and carrying placards protesting against the news editorial on relief.
It was said to be the first time a newspaper had ever been picketed for its editorial policy.
The pickets also carried placards reading: "We protest the anti-WPA editorials of the News."
"The News said liquidate WPA, we say expand the WPA."
"The News says dole, we say no dole."
Policemen waved their nightsticks and told the pickets to keep moving. If they stop police can arrest them for blocking the street but so long as they keep moving they can continue to picket.
Horace Gets His A.B. With Honors - pats his mortar board to a debonair angle, presenting a very man-of-the-world appearance. Will the Pater and Mater ever be proud of Horace! But the pictures are obviously posed. Look . . .
The Salt Lake Telegram included in its Helpful Hints department recently these three pictures of the correct way to don a senior gown. Note the calm determination with which Horace treats the matter.
Still suave and unruffled. Horace appears to be one of those rare souls who is equal to any situation. He has even found the elusive hook-eye, and draping his gown about him in graceful folds . . .
Summerfield Scholars Named

Fourteen graduates of Kansas high schools this spring, will attend the University next fall as Summerfield scholars, Prof. Olin Templin, chairman of the Summerfield Scholarship committee, announced yesterday.

Los Angeles, May 25. — (UP) “The nation's latest athletic战，touched off in the Daily Texas, undergraduate newspaper of the University of Texas, apparently was won tonight by the Baylor University, California on a hidden-ball play.
You Can't Fool The U.S.C. Coaches' Beefie! Done It
"Offer up to $100 in cash a month in addition to payment of all college expenses have been made to 'Beaufu' Bryan, ace freshman back . . . He has received several letters, he stated, proposing the transfer to the west school . . . Bryan said the U.S.C coach (Cromwell) called him by telephone when he passed through Dallas back from the Olympic games."
The "wr" actually was a long-distance heckle of U.S.C. athletic policies by Joe Belden, sports editor of the Texan, who wrote a story charging that Dean Cromwell, U.S.C. track coach, last summer attempted to round up athletes who already had the ball and named him the newspaper alleged in particular that "four . . . best football prospects have been transferred to U.S.C."
The story was printed in the Texan Thursday, and appeared in the Daily Trojan yesterday. Today members of the U.S.C. athletic staff went into a standoff with the team's den-ball play-four letters plucked from the athletic department files.
The letters went sent to Howard Jones, head football coach, by four athletes at the University of Texas. Names of three were kept secret, but he said they would not be heard as the fourth writer was none other than B. F. "Beeful" Bryan. Wesson, however, denied Cromwell had stopped in Dallas last year.

Hamlin and Jane Blanc both decided that they should study last night. According to the agreement, Blanc was to call Hamlin when she had finished studying. She was then asked to her, and they would sit out on the curb and drink it. Hamlin waited from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m. for Blanc's call, at which time she in-

Survey Reveals That Seniors Never Have Liked Final Exams
By Alan Asher, c'38
As Lincoln Steffens inferred in his autobiography, students go to college not to answer their own questions but those of their professors. So it is that, with the hot weather, bugs, flies, spring fever, sunburn, and other causes of tribulation and strife in life, we find ourselves being subjected to an even worse scourge—finals.
Students at this University have always been subjected to these periodical tortures, however, and records show that they lived to tell the story even as far back as 1888, the examinees of those days were humiliated along toward Memorial day as the modern group of grippers.
From the student's viewpoint, it is often a one-sided affair, and many feel they have about as much chance of coming out whole as a one-legged man at a kicking match, but according to professors, they take the most terrific beating, as they not only have to write out questions of sufficient density, but they also need to know. Indeed as early as yesterday morning Professor Jennings of the economics department could be seen leaving the Administration building wearing a countenance long

**Author**
In 1921, Prof. Blaine F. Moore of the political science department led several of his fellows in a University senate meeting to exempt senators with A and B averages from finals, and back as far as 1844 various professors were cooking up marvelous schemes whereby both students and pedagogues could be relieved of the lachrymals and meigrs accompanying final examinations.
On February 17, 1921, Prof. W. W. Davis of the department of history, made the following statement: "I am heartily in favor of exempting seniors with a standing of B or better from final examinations. It is my belief that a student who has worked steadily should receive the consideration of exemption from final examinations."
Wilbur Is Lucky To Get His -what the Telegram's candid cameraman saw when he hid in an empty beer bottle in Wilbur's room. This is the lowdown on what really happens. To begin with, Wilbur was evidently in a nasty mood. A gown is just like a dog - you have to let it know you're its master.
At this time there was quite a little agitation brought by the senior class in order to have more time to swim in Potter's lake, for such was the favorite water hole in those days. This year's graduating class had much resistance as finals are measured for granted these days. The University senate is seemingly unified Continued on page 3.
