Darrow's appraising eyes discarded one after another of our fairest as he probed the never-ending throng for "types" for the 1936 classic. The Hollywood representative was plainly not in search of "glamour girls" but rather on the lookout for interesting faces that would film well as a back ground for the Atlanta adventures of the tempestuous Scarlett O'Hara and dashing Rhett Butler.

Seniors Elect By Six Elliot' Would Amend Creed Court Personnel O. K. Law Professor Discusses Constitu tional Interpretation At Length In Clariosophic Meeting In a joint session of the Clariosophic mnd Euphradian Literary Societies, Tuesday night, Professor Charles El liott of the University Law school ad :ressed members and visitors on the mbject of "Constitutional Law." Speaking of the proposed actions in making changes in the Supreme Court, Professor Elliott declared that the Constitution of the United States was a document that could not be done away with but would survive in the legal conscience of the people of America. "I had rather not see the personnel of the Supreme Court changed, but if any change is made, I would pre fer a constitutional amendment. This would require only about one year to get through," the speaker said. Pointing out the three -schools of governmental theory, Professor El liott traced the early development of the Constitution in 1787. Framers of his document faced problems that they argued abcut for days, and today there is still no unanimous feeling about the way the clauses in the Constitution should be interpreted, he said. "Supreme Court judges do not leg islate; their authority is only in inter preting the Constitution and maintain ing its power in controlling the ac tions of the legislative and judicial branches of the government. "Each of these three divisions of the government is independent of the ther, and each is equal to the othcr. Naturally nine judges will differ in their way of seeing things, but adding more judges'to the court will not in :rease unanimity," the speaker as ;erted. "Woodrow Wilson said that the Constitution is not a self-perpetuating Iocument, but one that will chan'ge with the needs of the people, and to lay I can see little of anything radical n the idea of passing an amendment if such is needed," Professor Elliott de :lared in closing. Charles Simons, president of the Clariosophic Society, presided over the loint session, and during the hour, cigarettes and ice crem were served to the guests. Literary .
