Coed At Texas U.
Gets Two Degrees
At Age of Nineteen
Virginia Irvine Never Made
Less Than "A" On Any
College Course
(By College News Service)
AUSTIN Texas. Two university
degrees at 10 that was tho record
set by Virginia Irvine University of
Texas coed when she simultaneously
received a bachelor of arts and a
master's degree in June
Miss Irvine who was 19 on May 24
performed an unusual feat when she
received two degrees for it has taken
her but four years to complete the
work for both of them and she has
never mado below an "A' in any
course counting- toward either de-
gree. Because she is fond of languages
Miss Irvlno majored in French and
minored In Greek for her bachelor's
degree and at the same majored in
English and minored in Latin and
French for her master's.
When she entered tho University in
tho fall of 1028 sho promptly drew
tho highest grade ever recodded 08
for her work on tho special Eng-
lish examination that is given every
entering freshman.
Generally acclaimed a "super-stu-dent"
she likes to be known as "Just
a normal human being" who likes
to dance and swim and go places but
who nevertheless knows how and
when to study. Sho intends to teach.

You should have 'seen one of the
dignified seniors the first letter of

By eight o'clock tonight we can tell

Pisa Is Not The Only Leaning Tower
Chinese Structure Bests It a Little
As an architectural freak Pisa's
leaning bell tower with a deviation
of fourteen feet from the perpendic-
ular has received rather widespread
fame. But there is in China a tower
that not only leans moro than the
well known Italian edifice but it is
twenty feet highor.
As to the exact angle which the
Oriental tower assumes in relation to
tho earth we are unprepared to state
possibly duo to tho intricate complex-
ity of translating Chincso quadratics
trigonometry or other native methods
of computation into tho King's Eng-
lish. But one of greater ambition has
sacrificed a ream or two of paper in
exchango for tho resulting publicity
and proved tho problem for a start-
ling fact cartoon.
This Asiatic entry into the world's
review of edifices leanlngly inclined
is a pagoda a word of antiquo Per-
sian origin meaning idol temple. Bui
tho Chinese have expanded on the
original purpose. Erecting nagadot
as ha!ls-pf th gods "has" been sup-
plemented hy constructing them as a
memorialto a person to whom 'they
wish to pay great tribute.
Irf 468 A. f-. a Chinese pioneer
Ho-lu-Wang 'made a trip along tho
Grand Canal into inland China.
About sixty miles from Shanghai his
starting point the young man was at-
tracted by an unusually flourishing
orchard of mulberry trees growing
wild on the banks of Lako Tln-Hu.
A group of islands were situated in
the edge of the lake separated from
the land only by a shallow marsh.
To a Chinese this combination pre-
sented the ideal location for a city
with possibilities of silk worms and
rice. in abundance. Before the year
was complete tho region was trans-
formed into a small settlement and
named Su-Chow.
True to predictions Su-Chow
thrived and before many years was
reputed to be tho largest city in tho
world with a population of near one-
half million. A proverb becamo gen-
erally accepted that to bo perfectly
happy a man should bo "born in Lien-
Chow live in Su-Chow and dto in
Canton." Even before Ho-lungWang
died early in the sixth century a pros-
perous future was practically assured
for his city.
Soon after Ho-lung-Wang's death
the people made plans for a pagoda
as a memorial to the founder of their
city. For a suitable pedestal raised
above the marshy land they con
structed a hugo hill just outside tho
city wall. Soil was transported from
miles around by various conveyances
until the mound known as the Hill
of the Tiger was over fifty feet above
the level of tho city.
When the pagoda was complete it
consisted of nine stories and was 240
feet high. Some sixty doors opened
upon tho balconies with a winding
star extending the full height in the
center. Protruding caves give tho
temple a peculiar similarity to a num-
ber of Mexican round adobo houses
stacked one upon the other. A glazed

finish to the native brick makes tho
tower vlslblo for miles under a bright
sun.
Within tho last century this tower
has been gradually leaning doubtless
duo to tho marshy region and an
aging foundation until now it ap-
pears perilously balanced on one edge.
Tho Pisan tower began to lean be-
foro it was completed and a clever
architect possibly realizing the fame
forth coming to his product rein-
forced tho foundation and shifted the
center of gravity In such a manner
that it Is very solid. The leaning
Pagoda was never intended to lean
and yet it docs so to a finer degree.
Possibly It Is conveying to us a pro-
verb: "Let it bo not said 'I have con-
structed a tower that leans more than
nny other In the world' for somo one
will lean one to the ground or beat
your-record" . -
