Paper on, Evolution Read by Whitehead Pasteur Club Meets Wednesday Night-Dr. Schayer and Prof. Smith Are Guests At a meeting of the Pasteur club Wednesday night, J. D. Whitehead read a paper on evolution. Stating briefly the difficult position occupied by opponents of the law, lie then offered as proof of the truth of the theory embryology, paleontology and compa rative anatomy. In his proof by el- I bryology he stated that ontogeny re capitulates philogeny, or in other wotds, t the history of each individual rep. ats the history of the race. In palcontology, the study of fossil forms, he gave a brief sketch of th r.e velopment of the modern horse and el eplant, tracing the gradual rise of present (lay structures. Then, in comi. parative anatomy, Mr. Whitehead com pared the structures of present .lay an imals and showed the striking anal-igv beween them, "Which," he de clared, "clearly proves their descen: from similar types.

Cecil W. Scott, Chin. Drufus Griflfm Exchanges | The exchange column of a college iewspaper is not extended the consid ration 't should merit for several rea ons. Chief among these is the fact hat the exchanges are received rather pasmodically and so remain a more or ess indefinite quantity. Their relative mportance is usually determined by lie inclination of the editor of the de oartment, by the amount of space or ack of it. or by the general interest in he exchanges. Fortunately, the Game ock has been receiving regularly a umber of exchanges from representa ive colleges throughout the nation. It eels that such should not remain un ioticed or unappreciated. Among the papers reaching the =amecock, is the Frorida Alligator. In h's, we notice a very decided increase n size over previous issues, and a clear 'tit organization of material. The staf tas been enlarged but not unnecessarily o. We find the editorials well taken nd dealing with live campus problems. ;ome of these, like the following, may e of equal interest to our campus: "Journalism on the American Col ege Campus ranks second only to foot )all. And, if it were not for the papers ,vho knows whether or not football vould be king. Everything that is im )ortant on the campus is to a large cx ent indebted to some publication for he publicity that put it over. The rarious publications also serve as a nelting pot for public opinion. Through he columns of our weekly, The Alli ator, students have a means of ex ressing ideas, literary and comic pub ications also have a definite field in vhich to work. "Can you picture the University of Flor'da without any publications? In :leed it would be a sad state of affairs. It is true that we are continually knocking them. But it is not for the purpose of this article to either defend or further trample them, they get en :)ugh of that as it is. We merely want to emphasize thier importance. l*very school in the country, from the prep school up, has a daily, week ly, or monthly paper; not to mention the year book and various other pub lications. If for no other reason than that we keep abreast of times we should have these publications. Every one of use is served by these organs in some manner. Show me the man who goes to the University of Florida and never reads any student publication and together we will gaze on a blind person. The training that we as jour nalists receive in doing this sort of ,vork is of minor in.ortance, but never theless counts to a certain extent. -The Florida Alligator. Some very trinial incidents often lead JAMES OLIVE Greate "T HE Fl FOR) ANTONIO RENEE. FRIDAY and IMPE to serious, complications. Recently Princeton and Harvard severed athle tic relations because of the fact that the editor of the Harvard Lampoon, an undergraduate hymorous publica tion, was rather caustic in his editor ial remarks and, perhaps unwise in the selection of cartoons. This publica tion was issued on the day of the Har vard-Princeton game, and the tearing town of the Harvard goal posts by the Nassau men came dangerously near resulting in a serious riot. It is evi lent that restraint must be practiced n such occasions, and a little cool acaded judgment will go far towards tuieting troubled and troubling waters. This month, Furman celebrated its :entennial. There has been rounded )ut hundred years of successful work md noble service by a college which aas often not been given lue credit for acrifices made in its attempt to fur her the cause of education. We wish :ontinued success and the further con tinuation of friendship and friendly rivalry between our own institutions ind theirs. One of the features of the David ;on'an this year, is improved make-up plan, and better organization of news by means of special departments. Clemson college is to have the ser vices of Cecil B. DeMille, in the selec tion of beauty section entries for their annual, as we gather froili the follow ing notice: "Cecil B. DeMille will judge the beau ty section of the Clemson annual this year. Buck Brown, editor-in-chief of 'Taps, received a letter from him a few days ago, which stated that he would gladly do the school this favor. A few entries for the beauty section have already been made, but it is hoped that many more will be made before December fifteenth. Having such a noted critic to judge the beauty section should stimulate in each of the cadets a desire to have his girl's picture win a place in this section, and the only way for this to come about is for him to enter her picture. If the cadets will take an interest in this, the beauty section w:ll be better this year than ever before. -The Tiger. The Technique of Georgia Tech has successfully attempted something new in the realn of collegiate journalism in the South. The Thanksgiving issue of this paper carried a four page pic torial section, containing cuts of the team, student body, and athletic plant. Such innovations are not out of place, and are a credit to the publishing and editing staff. - U.S.C. Have a drink. Jush had one. 1-lave another. Jush had another. Well, how about one more ?
