COMING BOOKS—
(Continued from Page 1)
Work on Dr. MeKillop's book is not,
cording to him, sufficiently advanc-
ed to discuss for publication. How.
ever, the book lias been started and
l>r. McKillop Is now working on it.
No definite title has been selected as
yet it will concern the life of Rich-
ardson.
Ifr. Tsauoff's work is entitled "The
Nature of Kvil," He has offered a
course of the same name a number
of times and intends to make his
book quite similar to ilie course as
presented by him. A historical study
of the problem of evil will bo present,
i d. and Ihe book will Include a code
of social ethics as worked out bv him
on the basis of his studies on the
subject.
llr. Caldwell is writing a series of
short articles for the American Dic-
tionary and Hiography. He and Wil-
liam Ilridgewater are collaborating on
a hook which will be hiocraphical in
nature. Though as yet the manus.
script, is not very far advanced, it
is under way and file authors 1iope
for a rapid progression. It will he
on the life of John Jucob Astor,
?m; 5 t,
WWm WwWmmm W vrmw
Maurice Chevalier, that irrepressible
■tar o( the Paris musical comedy
stage, whose first American talking
picture, "Innocents ol Paris," was so
well received by audiences every-
where, makes bin second appearance
on the audible screen in "The Love
Parade," a gay, lavishly produced op-
eretta written especially for the
screen. In this latest Paramount pro-
duction which will be presented at
the Metropolitan Theater this week,
Chevalier is to be neen and heard in a
picture New York critics unanimously
agree is the finest musical production
to come to the audible screen.
In support of Chevalier is Jeanette
MacDonald, a new and charming lead-
ing lady whose unusual beuuty and
ability to wear gorgeous clothes, mark
her as a new "find" in the world of
motion pictures. Miss MacDonald,
however, Is an accomplished uctreus
and the possessor of a pleasing sing-
ing voice, having starred in several
Broadway musical comedies before at>
tempting her present role on the
screen.
The songs featured in this picture
and sung hy Chevalier or Miss Mac-
Donald either as solos or duels are
"My Love Parade," "Anything to
I lease the Queen," "Nobody's Using It
Now," "My Dream I,over," and "Paris
Slay the Same." other sgngs Include
"Let's Be Common," a novelty number
sung by Lupllio Lane and Lillian Both,
and a rousing marching song, "March
of the Grenadiers." The music, all of
which seems definitely in the song lilt
class, was composed hy Victor Schert-
zinger, the man who wrote "March-
ita."

Spring Program to Begin
February 11 With Talk
By Dr. Barnes
After a lapis ot two montlu, the
Open Forum resumes lta program of
lectures In February. Tue Spring pro-
gram of speakers Is not quite so ex.
tensive as the Fall program. Three
noted lecturers will be brought to
Houston this spring through the spon-
sorship of the Open Forum.
On February 11, Dr. Harry Elmer
Barnes will apeak on "What Is Wrong
with our Educational System" at the
Scottish Rite Cathedral. Dr. Barnes
is an eminent sociologist and edu-
cator. He has done work in many
of the first ranking universities of
this country.
On February 25. a Houston man.
Royal Dixon will speak on "Man, the
Great Copyist' at the University Club.
Dixon is a naturalist of note. He has
a reputation of being a fascinating
speaker.
On March 10, Dr. H. H. Goddaril
will explain "The Newer Aspects of
Heredity.,'* He will lecture at the
University Club. Dr. Goddard Is a well-
known psychologist who has been do-
ing intensive work in this field for
a number of years. The ideas he
will present will he of the very latest
moment In this field of science.
The spring season of lectures bids
fair to be brief but brilliant, The
lectures all begin promptly at eight
o'clock.
Mm athletics. Thrm varsity tetter-
awards going to Catatn Jesse Wtllia
and Russell tee Jiflnii. while Out
Cram was awarded a tetter to (Umax
three years of cheer.leading, Cor om
who made College Humor's ball ot
fame.
Climaxing a week of torpid activity,
Coach Pug Daugherity's basketeers
took off for Commerce, to engage the
Texas Teachers In a two-game series.
The Owls won one and lost one of
these games.
On Thursday, November 19, the
slimes easily conquered the rest ot
the field in the annual inter.elass
track meet. Claude Bracey, a senior,
nevertheless ran away with Individual
honors.
Willis As Usual
Ajtiout this time a certain five-mile
race was run at Baton Rouge, La.
Jesse Willis of Rice was entered—
need we say more? The lanky In-
stitute runner took his customary
first place. Willis has not been de-
feated in a single race this season,
having placed first in two dual meets,
the conference affair, and the race
just mentioned.
Rumors had it that plans were un-
dsr way to light the Rice Stadium, la
order to play some of next season's
grid games at night. The coat of the
wiring necessary was estimated at
•6600.
And oaee more does the Owl bas-
ketball team aee action—on two suc-
cessive nights. December SO and SI,
against the Bam Houston Teachers
quinete, toad by dashing Doyle Coe.
Again Rice breaks evea, winning the
first of the series, but losing the
second one.

The score sheet, for administration

I 1.5 points came off when the material
presentation was 'iuestloueil as to ef-

Ten points were lost when the Sec-
tion and Classes showed lack of uni-
formity in heading and color.
Organizations were only fair, los-
ing ill, whfn the sheets failed lo give
adequate explanations of groups con.
cerned.
Lack of girls' athletic representa-
tion and specificity in the recording
of activities cost the Campanile 25
valuable points.
"Beautiful views" was the pro-
nouncement, on the school life section,
which nevertheless lost 25 points be.
cause of smallness and lack of inden-
tiricatlon in the views.
Editing and Make-np lost heavily
with 35 points.
Financial Status received 35, since
no report was submitted.
Mechanical considerations cost the
Campanile 25 more points, chiefly due
to the lack of uniformity In pictures
and arrangement at cuts.
