WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1935 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES As life gently fades for the renowned statesman-jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Americans cling to the belief that he will recover because "he is such a marvelous man." The thirty years he has served as a member of the Supreme Court of the United States, his judgments free from prejudice, his convictions sincere and honest, have kindled inspiration and aroused 'suspect in all justice-loving people.' For his genuine, outstanding service one critic has recently characterized him as "the wisest man now speaking and writing the English language." The famous jurist, son of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, a personality beloved among old and young, has himself performed a life work—but deeply admirable and profound. His life work has been serious and worthy; he is known as a lovable philosopher. But he has never lacked brilliance and gaiety. Even in his present critical illness he retains his old sparkle and wit. He has often said whimsically that he has overstayed his leave on earth, and once he referred to himself as a ghost. Judge Holmes is a staunch liberal. His dissenting opinions have frequently been followed more closely than the court decisions themselves. His attitudes and convictions are vigorous; his independence was sometimes even too much for Theodore Roosevelt. As a tribute to his useful, uniting service Chief Justice Taft in 1925 justly said, "Mr. Justice Holmes continues to honor the Supreme Court as its most brilliant and learned member." A more significant eulogy could not have been spoken for this grand old man of the American bench who devoted his life so completely to the law and justice of the United States. Universities have become famous for courses in family relations, but this University will stake first claim as the originator of courses in relations other than family—letterwriting. Students this semester petition for 19 hours; 14 hours study; five letterwriting. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT In the death-house at Trenton, N. J., Bruno Richard Hauptmann is waiting for the death that will be meted out to him by the state in the event that his appeal, which has been made to the Court of Errors, does not show that he is innocent of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and a re-trial does not give him at least a lesser sentence than death. When Hauptmann was on tria for the kidnapping of the Lindberghs' first child, public opinion flared high against him. On evidence that was mainly circumstantial the jury found him guilty, and the death sentence was imposed. It was not until this, the greatest punishment, was decreed that Hauptmann began getting real sympathy from the public. There was a general feeling that although he was implicated he perhaps did not deserve so great a measure of punishment. Public opinion, at least in part, turned. Declaring that they were "broke," Mrs. Hauptmann started out to obtain money from sympathetic persons, in order that the case might be appealed, and the very fact that she has not been unsuccessful is sufficient evidence that public opinion does not altogether agree with the sentence imposed upon her husband. While everyone feels that Hauptmann did not deserve to be acquitted, there is also feeling that he did not deserve such severe punishment on circumstantial evidence, and so the pendulum swings back. The American public does not seem always to be content to let the courts decide just what justice shall be. A DILEMMA All that we have heard for the past two weeks is what our new "political party" is going to accomplish if it succeeds in wrestling the reins of power from the now firmly entrenched Pachacamac party. We should now like to hear something from the present "student governing" body; or is the "party of action" living up to its ancient tradition so aptly exemplified by its slogan? We wonder if the Pachacamacs are permitting this foundling to scare the living daylights out of them and as yet have found no words with which to become articulate. Or can it be possible that the platform proposed by our new individualistic group is so good that there is no alternative? Hasn't Pachacamac anything to say? FLASH — The Daily Kansan was compelled to put on an additional postman to deliver Joe Holloway's fan mail. "A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL SCREEN" The motion picture industry, which has the power, if it so desires to be the greatest of our educational institutions, has definitely commenced an insidious campaign out of harmony with all principles of ethics. The conduct of the producers during the California governor's race last fall gives us a concrete idea of the tactics to expect in the future from this group. And now, having successfully conducted a campaign in the home field (without resorting to any more serious tricks of the trade than the use of super - imposed voices, carefully edited and selected news shots, and the importation of drove of special mob actors, the cinema "big-shots" have decided to branch out into fields of further endeavor. Attacks upon all forms of 'isms have been the order of the day in Hollywood. After sucumbing to the criticism of off-color productions, the movies have come back stronger than ever to enter the field of national politics. Heretofore, the great producers have kept their noses out of national problems because of their own self interest. Now they have grown bolder and have even gone so far as to attempt propaganda, a surprising thing indeed. We point to the Pathe news reel as an example of this influence which has been creeping into the films during the past few months. Are we going to be warned by California's experience in the past election, and investigate movie tactics, or are we going to sit back and swallow whole the utterances of a medium which cannot be successfully answered?

The sociology department is displaying a new man this semester. He's young and "eure" with a twinkle in his eye. So gather round girls. He hasn't a wife. But we do hear he's shopping. And if your bridge is bad he's just the man. He doesn't like the game. But your feet better be good because his favorite sport is tramping around in the woods. Mr. Alexander, as assistant professor, is taking the place of Manhuel Smith who is on a leave of absence in Washington this semester. Frankle, as his friends call him, received his B.S. and M.A. from his previous working on his Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University when called here. He is already being talked about for "those tough quizzes" but it is a fact that a bright and shining student talked him into postponing one. He's all filled up with new tricks for making students more confident. Professor Alexander is wondering these days if modern "petting" grew out of that fact that following little children learn how to protect them intuitily affection in their hearts.
