Eddie Cantor Proves He Can Be Serious Eddie Cantor can really be serious (if he wants to) according to the opinion of a scribe on the Ohio State Lantern, who was daring enough to invade the suite of Cantor and George Jessel in Columbus. Here is the story in the words of the reporter: "Crushing through a barrier of chambermaids and bellhops, the Lantern reporter gained access to the hotel suite of Eddie Cantor and George Jessel. Cantor stood at the door^ saucer eyes and all, sipping a glass of milk. 4 "Cantor is possibly the most congenial soul in the world despite the fact that he is on the go every moment. The radio, magazines, the stage, and a million telephone calls would wear out a normal man, but Cantor seems to bear up well. During the interview there were at least twenty phone calls and lie answered them all patiently. "Mr. Cantor," I began, "what do you think of..." "Yes, yes," he said, "Columbus is a very fine town." "Er-er?what do you think of a..." "A college education is a fine thing." "Er-er-er?what do you think.*..." "Well, fraternities tend a little to snobbishness, but I guess they're all right." George Jessel saw by this time that I was a little flustered. \ "Lay off, Eddie," he said, "ride me a while. You haven't done it since last night." "Go on, cat your steak, if you can get it past your nose," Cantor told him. "O. K., Eddie, but never darken my bathtub again." t J tial Buyers ad 1ECOCK ikly ck advertising gets ults ADVERTISE" , dh M ?i vr A 1 i.i.i n?I Blue Key Head bp jIIjibb John Bolt Culbertson of Laurens was elected president of Blue Key fraternity recently.

Honor Group Investigates The Honor Council has been making a survey recently of conditions in the University under the honor system. Individual reports of its observance and of the attitude of the students in I the various classes toward it have been r made and the results handed over to Dr. Bradley, faculty member of the Council. The survey is rather broad in its scope and aims at determining general conditions rather than specific violations. The honor system, one of the oldest traditions of the University, died out for a while some years ago, but was restored in the fall of 1021). Since that time there has been some criticism of it from various sources and an attempt is now being made to find out what justice there is in these attacks. The results will be kept confidential, but Dr. Bradley will be free to make any recommendation to the faculty that he sees fit. Sanders Guignard, chairman of the Ifonor Council, has conducted the survey under the supervision of Dr. Bradley. Profs. Advocate Return Of Beer Yale Faculty Members Favor Move In Effort To SaVe The Country's Youth Two Yale professors went 011 record lately before a Senate beer committee as favoring the return of beer in an effort to save the country's youth from Jiard liquors. According to Dean Clarence W. Mendell, beer will develop team play by bringing together different types of people. With the absence of beer, he said, students obtain hard liquor. Professor Yandell Henderson, professor* of applied psychology and expert on volatile poisons at Yale, estimated that it would take eight or ten quarts of four per cent beer to cause what he considered intoxication. Professor Henderson characterized prohibition as "the worst experiment in design and execution that I have ever heard of." ?' * # 1 " . \ ' y * * # ; , r . . ' ; ' .

Court Dismisses Contempt Action Contempt proceedings against Melton Goodstein, former reporter for the Florence Observer and University student were dismissed with a reprimand to Goodstein by Judge Ernest F. Cochran in an order filed in the United States district court recently. Goodstein was given a -hearing here January 13 on a rule to show cause filed December 20, 1931, on information of Henry E. Davis, United States district attorney. He was charged with telling Miss Irene E. Stoley, a government witness, in Florence at the December term of court that D. Gordon Baker, attorney for a defendant, would ( embarrass her on the witness stand and with trying to induce Miss Stoley to go to Mr. Baker's office for a conference. Miss Stoley was the main witness against Goodstein at the hearing, at which a number of police officers who overheard his conversations with Miss Stoley also testified. Following is Judge Cochran's or^cr: Text of Order "A rule was issued against the respondent to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of this court because of alleged conduct tending to deter a witness under subpoena and in attendance upon the court from testifying freely. He has filed his return and the testimony was taken, and the parties have been heard. "There is no doubt that any action or conduct of a person for the purpose of deterring any witness in attendance upon the court from testifying freely would be a contempt punishable summarily. In re Savin 131 U. S. 267. And where the conduct of a person is such as would tend to deter a witness from testifying freely, such person ordinarily is presumed to intend to deter the witness. But this presumption is, of course, not an absolute one, and may be rebutted, and would not apply where the circumstances show that such was not the intention. "It is not necessary to review the evidence and state in detail the conduct complained of. It is sufficient to say that such conduct would ordinarily tend to deter a witness or might have that effect. It certainly approaches very close to the border line of a contempt of this court. But in view of the surrounding circumstances, while his conduct was indiscreet, I am not satisfied that it was intentional, and it appears as a matter of fact, the witness was not actually deterred from testifying freely. Discharges Rule "I am constrained, therefore, to discharge the rule, but with the ad- ; monition that the respondent should 1 understand that his conduct is not < commended, and came perilously near ; to being such a contempt that the ! court would feel warranted in im- ? posing punishment. It is a serious ; matter to take any kind of action | which has the appearance of deterring j a witness in court, and where there j are no circumstances'which would ex- J plain the conduct as not so intended, ! this court would feel warranted in < punishing accordingly. ! iscripts Added na Committee Deadline For Pictures Set . "All students desiring to enter girls' pictures in the Garnet and Black beauty section must get them in before February the 15th," Waldie Bushaw, editor of the annual announced to-day. ,, Mr. Bushaw specifically stated that the contest will not be limited to pictures of Carolina co-eds and that any student may enter a picture.
