I Exposition Speaker
Gold braid, bright colored uni-
forms of 21 nations, flowers and
beautiful girls will characterize
Long Island, which revolutionized
iiulo racing as a spectator-sport,
and sold out of box seat:; ai

ment features at the Greater Tex- caw. where the entire race can
as and Pan American Exposition,
opening in Dallas June 12.
Mr. Marshall, the international
fair's S100,000-a-sf ason entertain-
ment director, makes a habit of
these things, and for a reason—
they are box office attractions.
There will be nothing drab and
colorless around anything: this
man touches. He follows the the-
ory that people want to go where
beauty, life, and color are ram-
pant. So. when patrons seek en-
trance at the Pan American
Games, they will find the Cotton
Bowl at the Exposition a blaze of
color, flags waving, bands play-
ing, pretty girls ushers and ticket
sellers in gold braid and brilliant-
ly colored uniforms on hand to
greet and make them comfortable.
This Exposition director of
sports and entertainment was an
athlete in college days. He has
long been a pal of famous athletes
and stars of the stage and screen.
He married Corinne Griffith,
beautiful star of the silent films.
He has been front page and maga-
zine copy for a decade, in fact ev-
er since he put uniforms on the
office boy, decorated the newspa-
per office in lavender and old lace
and put the art staff in smocks,
as manager of William Randolph
Heart's Washington Times.
His most recent undertaking
was the Roosevelt Speedway on
be seen from any seat in the
grandstand, and the course laid
with hazards encountered in ev-
ery-day driving in congested traf-
fic, the speedway is a new idea in
race tracks.
His athletic official staff set-up
at tho international fair included
Bob Humphrey, an athlete of th?
recent past and a ranking offi-
cial of the Amateur Athletic Un-
ion and World Olympics Associa-
tion. Humphrey will he director
of Pan American Games, with
James Stewart, athletic director
of Southern Methodist University,
as his assistant.
Humphrey is just back from
New York and Washington, where
approval was given the dates for
the Games by executive commit-
tees of the A. S. U., Olympics As-
sociation and the United States
Football Association. Pan Ameri-
can games will be run off four
nights in the Cotton Bowl, June
30 and July 1, 2, and 3, and box-

and N.T.A.C. senior colleges. So fai

Mind Over Matter
London, Eng.—Mind over mat to:
:s the theme of a lecture in verse
form written by Prof. E. P. Cath-
cart of the physiology department
at the University of Glascow:
"Eat all kind naturq doth bestow:
It will amalgamate below.
If the mind says so, it shall be
so.
But, if once you doubt,
The gastric juice will find it
' out."
By placing on him the official
regalia of the Greater Texas and
Pan American Exposition, a Mexi-
can serape, pretty Texanita Stella
Stanley makes a goodwill ambassa-
dor of Bill Edwin Colvert, assistant
to the promotion director of tlio

"Is it not better preparation for
American citizenship to solve pro-
blems of government regulation of
industry or credit buying than it is
to solve problems concerning equi-
lateral triangles?" Dr. J. Stanley
Grey, psychologist at the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh, believes Pytha-
fioras, Horace, and Babylonians
should be shelved in favor of soc-
ial studies for high school students.
Local civic leaders will be given
the details of the Greater Texas
and Pan American Exposition, to
open in Dallas June 12 for a run
of 142 days, by Bill Edwin Colvert,
assistant to the director of promo-
tion for the fair.
"Americans adore me, though I
I have insulted them for their
own good as long as I have been
writing." A modest statement from
England's George Bernard Shaw
to the University of North Caro-
lina's Prof. Archibald Henderson.
LASH CLAIMED TO HAVE
MOST EFFICIENT LUNGS
Cambridge, Mass. — Lungs -with
efficiency greater than those of
any man ever tested belong to Don
Lash, Indiana University's sensa-
tional two-mile runner.
This claim was made by Dr. D.
B. Dill ol' the Harvard University
fatigue laboratory at the annual
meeting of the American Associa-
tion of Physical Anthropologists.
In tests, Dr. Dill found that,
while running, the Indiana star has
an oxygen intake 50 per cent great-
er than the average man and near-
ly that much more than four other
outstanding American milerg —
Cunningham, Venzke, San Romani,
and Fensk^.
While running at his two-mile
pace, Lash is capable of taking
three liters of oxygen a minute.

Quotable Quotes
"It is surprising that the vast
majority of students barely squeeze
by on their science requirements,
fearful that taking more science
would mean too great an exer-
tion on their part. Many avoid
English composition courses too,
having completed their freshmen
requirements." Registrar Robert O.
Conant of Dartmouth College ad-
vises the "science-sidesteppers" and
"English-evaders" to expand edu-
cationally.
"I do not regard college as an |
intellectual filling station where
you can go to take on a certain <|
number of gallons of education."
DePauw University's President
Clyde E, Wildman explains that a '
trained mind, respect for others,:
social imagination and ability to;
discriminate between the values of ■
life comprise a college education, j

NEW ENTRANCE PLAN TRIED
BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
I
New York—To improve the j
quality of freshmen calsses. Col- j
umbia College of Columbia Uni-
versity is instituting a "new" en- '
trance plan for use next Sepfcem- ■
her.
Although incoming students can |
make applications for admission i
under either the old method or the j
new, as stated in the new Colum-
bia catalogue, speculation has it
that, the latter plan may super- !
sede the old. :
While the old method loans hea- i
vily on entrance examinations as
one of the chief criteria for col- j
lege admission, the "new" one re-1
lies more on the applicant's grade ■
on the Thorndike Intelligence ex- ;
animation as an index of his fit- ;
ness. , '
Even though graduation from a i
secondary school of accredited j
s tanding has always been a pre- '
requisite, the "new" plan takes ,
added pr:caution to keep out in- :
competents by making sure that ■
the secondary schools are accre- :
dited. j
Any student entering under this ]
method must come from a second-!
ary school which is recognized by
any one of a number of organiza-
tions which keep constant vigil
over school standards.
The organizations whose word!
Columbia will accept on school rat- j
ings are the New England Certifiedi
Board, the Association of Colleges ]
and Secondary Schools and Second-
ary schools and the Middle States i
Association of Colleges and Second-]
ary Schools.
If a student comes from a school
outside the observation-territory
of these bodies, he may submit the j
names of leading colleges on whose
accepted list his school's name ap-
pears. The acceptability of that ■
school will then be determined "for j
the time being upon the basis thus ■
furnished." >
Metropolitan Opera Star
chooses light smoke for his throat
Lauritz Melchior says:
s
"T/ie hardest test I can give a ciga-
rette is to try its effect on my throat
after hours of intense rehearsal. I've
found that a light smoke meets this
test. And so, although 1 am not a
constant smoker, I favor Lucky Strike
for the sake of my throat. And, inci-
dentally, so does my xvife. When ive
go back to Europe ive never forget to
take along a good supply of Luckies."
Miss Lucy Hcnnigan, head of the;
hospital, visited in Lubbock during;
the holidays. ' ;
An independent survey was made recently
among professional men and women—lawyers,
doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said
they smoke cigarettes, 87% stated they personally
prefer a light smoke.
Mr. Melchior verifies the wisdom of this pref-
erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio,
stage, screen, and opera. Their voices are their
fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke
Luckies. You, too, can have the throat protection
of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh
irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's
Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat!
