Collegiate Review
<Br Associated Collegiate Press)
Princeton, J. J.—Developments in
both government and business are
creating wider opportunities for
college and university graduates
with a background of broad train-
ing, Prof. De Witt Clinton Poole,
director of the School of Public
and International Affairs at Prince-
ton University, told the advisory
board of the school in his annual
report.
"The concrete need which has
presented itself insistently at the
present juncture is to establish for
the government a reservoir of uni-

versity graduates, outside of the
professional and technical fields,
who can be started at a beginner's
level in the various departments
and agencies as openings occur.
"As a first step in the Civil Ser-
vice Commission held in 1934 an
examination of general character
for persons possessing an A. B. or
higher degree. From the register
of eligibles established by this ex-
amination more than 1,200 perman-
ent appointments have been made
at beginning salaries which range
from ?1,<520 to $1,800.
"As the situation is now develop-
ing, it may be said that these ap-
pointees have before them almost
unlimited prospects of advance-
ment, commensurate with the cap-
ability and character which each
evidences.
"A second general examination
for university graduates was held
last summer and some 26,000 pap-
ers await grading at present in the
offices of the civil service commis-
sion," Prof. Poole said.
ARKANSAS PAPER CRITICIZES
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Fayetteville, Ark.—In a move to
do away with traditional Commen-
cement exercises, The Traveler,
University of Arkansas student
newspaper, published an editorial
proposing to "abolish in one sweep
the expense, nuisance, and non-
sense of Graduation week."
"Of all the claptrap and useless
fixtures r f college life, Commence-
ment is one of the principal ab-
surdities," said Editor John Hutch-
inson.
Declaring that Commencement
serves no other purpose than to
burden the student with several
extra days of tiresome program,
cap-and-srown discomfort, and
hoard bills, the editorial goes on
to say that "some students look
forward to the day they will stalk
i<: solemn procession to accept their
sc ".-lions of sheepskin, but most look
forward in sighing resignation to
an unnecessary and irksome per-
iod of frippery."
"How many seniors want to sit
I through a baccalaureate sermon
! comprising little else but hollow
|platitudes and faculty philosophy?"
the (editorial asks. "How many sen-
, iors have any desire to endure a
funeral exercise featuring boresome
introductions, political bombast and
mediocre music?"
AROUND
WASHINGTON
By MARVIN COX
Associated Collegiate Press
Correspondent
Washington, D. C.—-When the
bugles blow and the bands strike
Up their marching songs at the be-
ginning of the Inaugural Parade
January 20, the college youth of
the land will be represented in all
of the pomp and pageantry of the
occasion. Uncle Sam's own college,
the Military Academy at West
Point and the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, will have brightly uni-
formed young men in the proces-
sion.
In other years, bearded veterans
of long past wars shared the pa-
rade honors with gay young ca-
dets from many corps, but this
year the Inauguration taking
place on January 20 instead of
March 4, the old order has chang-
ed in many ways. From the time
George Washington took the oath
as Chief Executive of the infant
United States of America up to
this year, March 4 has been the
date when the President was
sworn in, but the 21st Amendment
has changed the date of the Pres-
ident's term of office and the mid-
winter weather is changing the
traditional Inaugural Parade.
Instead of the long parade of
other years which took hours to
pass by the Capitol, this year
there will be a comparatively
short procession with soldiers and
sailors from nearby army posts
and naval stations making up the
bulk of the marchers. The theory
is that January weather will not
permit marchers to brave the ele-
ments as they did when the cere-
monies were held on March 4. But
the cadets from West Point and
the midshipmen from Annapolis
will inarch with the soldiers and
sailors from Uncle Sam's regular
army and navy.
The color and enthusiasm of In-
augural day will contrast sharply
with the drab preparations that
are now being made for that gala
quadrennial event. The streets
where cheering thousands will ap-
plaud the Inaugural procession are
now cluttered with planks and
boards and scafforlds. Pedestrians
warily walk in the streets, forced
from the sidewalks where carpen-
ters are constructing the grand-
stands. These stands on January
20 will be filled with shouting
throngs, but now with the cold
rains of the new year beating
down on the Capitol, the gaunt
frame work of the grandstands
stretches out like a giant skeleton
along the tree lined streets.
The Federal government is now
conducting a novel college course.
The course is given in "Freshman
College Centers" which have been
established to give employment to
needy teachers and to provide
freshman college work for young
men and women who could not
otherwise continue their schooling.
These Centers offer regular first
year college courses for which full
credit is given.
Some 7,900 students are enrolled
in the Freshman classes which are
taught by more than 450 teachers.
The WPA pays the salaries of the
instructors.
Uncle Sam is also offering cor-
respondence courses in 15 states
in which more than 14,900 stu-
dents are enrolled. The correspon-
dence courses and the "Freshman
College Centers" are two of the
many phases of the WPA educa-
tional program which has provided
instruction for more than 1,300,-
000 individuals and given jobs to
about 34,000 teachers who could
not find employment elsewhere.
JTAC STAGES ONE-
ACT PUT COITEST
John Tarleton College will be
host to member colleges of district
five, Texas Junior College Speech
Association, for the annual one-
act play contest on February 2,
Miss Lillie V. Lillard, head of the
Tarleton department of speech,
announced this week.
Miss Lillard is in charge of ar-
rangements for the contest. Under
her direction the Tarleton Players
will present at that time Leo B.
Pride's "The Devils." The cast
will include A. M. Finlay of Fife,
Horace Garrett of Henrietta, and
Peggy Cooper of Crowell.
The district meet at Tarleton
will precede by one week the State
meet to be held at Hillsboro Junior
College.
Davis Hall Notes
A small bombardment broke the
peaceful quiet of Davis Hall the
other night. Such noisey boys!
" All of the cadets returned with
a joyous spirit to resume their
work. Boy, o' boy, school has start-
ed again.
Henry Wilder possesses a beauti-
fully draped frame that draws num-
erous comments. That's all' right,
Henry, everyone needs a laugh now
and then.
Boo Boo Cowan really is a Rom-
eo when it comes to riding home,
eh, Cowan.
Ah, another frame story from
Fish Smith who bought a frame for
a picture and later the inscription
"With Love, Jackie" appeared on
the picture in Smith's handwriting.
We Staggers have terrible tem-
pers, so don't cross us says Daniel
to anyone who asks him.
"Speedy" Major Blalock really
burns things up when it comes to
cleaning up rooms. Stay in there
Blalock, you two and three minute
man.
There is a slight rumor that
Bartling Anderegg has a new
Whippet—some hack too.
Davis Hall took another step up
the road of progress with the pro-
curement of rubber tips to silence
the movement of chairs. Now the
boys have found a way to make a
noise like an airplane which may
prove just as noisy.
RHODES SCHOLARS COME
