TUESDAY, APRIL 24,1934 KEEPING UP IN INTELLIGENCE A recent survey made by a group of Harvard scientists among universities and women's colleges has resulted in the announcement that the average college student today is superior mentally and physically to his parents when they were in college. It would appear that youth, which has been consistently "going to the dogs" for several years, may be on the right track after all. The results might also be used as a talking point for spinach diets and modern psychological teaching. Says the Kansas City Star in reference to the announcement: "The young people, even while admitting their superior knowledge, also betray a bit of the same bewilderment which so sorely beets their elders in this world crisis." With increased knowledge and discoveries, world conditions become more complex. The college student does not profess to have been able to handle better the circumstances which confronted his father, but hopes that through his broadened knowledge and the experience of his father he will be able to cope adequately with new situations as they arise. Perhaps each new generation will grow in strength and intelligence in proportion to its needs. But it is too bad that such an improvement could not be shoved up a generation or two. Some of our weightier problems might then be solved. Samuel Insull can write a nice fax check, but sand banks can't cash it for him. THE POOR RICH You don't want a million dollars, do you? Oh, you think you do? Well, did you ever stop to think what a bore it would be to have a million dollars around? Doris Duke, who at 22 has been called the richest girl in the world, has come to the conclusion that her vast fortune does her little good, after all. Surrounded by an armed guard since the Lindbergh kidnaping, she is probably one of the unhappiest girls in the world. There is no possibility of her being able to do exactly as she pleases, and she is really no less than a prisoner to her wealth. The next time you wish you could buy a malt instead of a coke, remember the story about all the big bold kidnapers who capture these poor rich people with millions. Be free and penniless. 'Just imagine going to a varsity accompanied by an armed guard!' A NEW DEAL FOR TENNIS PLAYERS On one of these bright spring days the student suddenly looks up from his books and remembers that this is tennis weather. So he promptly buys or borrows some bright new balls, and sets the alarm. The next morning finds him, with a merry whistle and a swinging raquet, on the way to the courts. The whistle becomes rather unstain as our potential athlete arrives on the scene and surveys his prospects. He sees that the net sags in the middle, that the courts have not, been, rolled or gravelled, that piles of dead leaves litter the corners. Nevertheless, he serves one of his spotless new balls. The fact that the ground on which he is standing is about two feet nearer sea level than the rest of the court probably irritates him a little. Nor do things appear to be picking up when the ball strikes a rock and bounces off to the side. The ball's disappearance under the pile of dirty leaves is all that is required for completing the ruin of his morning. Many mornings are likely to go the way of this one, if some attention is not given to the University tennis courts. They require regular care if they are to be of real value to anyone. Tennis is a popular game, and it will be of benefit to a large number of the students if some improvement and care of the courts is undertaken immediately. Persons argue that if they only had money they would be carefree. That is just another proof that care is the only thing that is free. RECORD BREAKERS-MAYBE A recent news article mentions the fact that at a dinner given in honor of the seventeen women office-holders in the Fusion administration of New York, the male members of Mayor LaGuardia's cabinet were much amazed. The whole seventeen made speeches within one hour, with time out for the chairman's introduction of each. And not content with this first blast at the poor men's ideals of talkative womanhood, each of the ladies ceased talking at the sound of the chairman's gong, even though a sentence was left broken, and hanging in mid-air. It seems safe to say that nothing so startling as this has happened before even in this world of trans-Atlantic flights, ascents into the stratosphere, and reversions to the fashions of the 80's. Furthermore, the male spirit might prompt one to suspect such a remarkable performance to be the planned product of a fendifish female mind and that those same admirable ladies might be just a slight bit more talkative during a rubber of bridge. Current Screen --lock Thursday evening. Friends MARTHA PETERSON, ANNA MARIE TOMPKINS. Men in White (Patee) is another hospital picture. Whether the public is tiring of seeing shiny instruments, white uniforms and sick people in its cinema bill of fare is a question, but doubtless a story laid in a hospital has an exceptionally good opportunity to portray the human emotions. Suffering, anxiety, joy and quiet courage are all unusually prevalent and acute in these institutions where life begins and ends. Clark Gable as a promising young interne­ gives a realistic interpretation of the conflict within himself as to whether he should lead a selfish and a happy life or one of self-denial for the good of humanity. Gable does more of acting and less of looking pretty in this picture than in most of his. The farewell scene between him and the little girl whose life he saved was especially well done and effective. Acting honors in this picture, in spite of what has been said thus far, go to Jean Hersholt, who is an old and respected doctor who served his fellow men long and unselfishly. For real and honest presentation of his character Mr. Hersholt works on the standard of the legitimate stage. As a sophisticated rich playgirl, Myrna Loy seldom fails to fill her part. Possibly some, fans have begun to wonder whether she could play any other role successfully. Her part in Men in White calls for more drama, and the girl she has played to date, and she stands the test, except for being obviously a little stiff. Even though the celebrated radio singer Lanny Ross is featured as the star of *Melody in Spring* (Varsity) the picture, belongs entirely to that comedy pair, Charles Ruggles and Mary Boylan. The funny situations' in which these two find themselves add far more to 'the entertainment' of the picture than does Lanny Ross and his operatic singing.' Whether or not Charles' Ruggles and Mary-Boland could on their own put over a picture-successfully we hesitate The Chrishian Organization will meet Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Mvers hall, room C.

RUTH PYLE DEMOLAYS: to say, but we would like to see them try it with the help of a good story. Melody in Spring has very little plot, depending largely on the voice of Lanny Ross for its popularity. Ann Sothern has little to do but smile and look beautiful when Lanny sings to her. DEMIDZA 17, to be a smoker held this evening at the Delta Sigma Lambda house at 7:30. All, DeMaluya, invited. LAWRENCE E. WOOD, Chairman. One of the funniest scenes in the picture occurs when Ruggles, who is a collector of old and rare objects including bed knobs, is arrested for "collecting" a valued cowbell. Though Ross is the real thief, Mary—who understands her husband so well—is certain that Rugles is the guilty one and tells the jailers to cart him away. The best musical effect is the Swiss milking song, followed by Lanny singing "Melody in Spring". Spencer Tracy and Jack Oskie THUR. - FRI. - SAT.
