professional music sorority,

new high average by ranking in
the plus seven category, according
to the first semester scholarship

rank, followed by all women, non

all men, and all fraternity. A
new low wis set by the last group
in the fraternity section, necessi

away from Zeta Tau Alpha, which
was relegated to second place. Phi
Omega Pi. Alpha Phi, and Alpha
Omicron Pi ranked next in order

Little Gods Galley
ARLENE BORS,
She sat on a tabic, because
she likes to sit on tables, as
she related the story of her
life, or rather, as she answered
questions pertaining to it. Ar
lene Bors topped off her active col
lege career by being prom girl this
year, much to her surprise, she
stated.
And even if it had ended other
wise, it would still have been one
of the more outstanding careers on
the campus. In her senior year she
served as president of the Big Sis
ter Board, as well as being an ac
tive Mortar Board member. For
two years she was a member of the
Y. W. cabinet, and a member of
Tassels. She also held a position oa
the Junior-Senior piom committee.
But activities have not interfered
with her scholarship. Taking
liberal course in home economics
she has been elected to two borne
ec honoraries. Phi Epsilon Omi
cron, and Omicron Nu.
She has enjoyed the activities in
whicn she has participated. "I con
sider activities more important
than high grades. I love to meet
people, and working with them Is
one of the finest ways of accom
plishing such ar end. It s?ems to
me that participation .n activities
la essential to a well-rounded edu
cation." (Continued on Page i.)

PICTURE TO BE SHOWN
AT STUART SATURDAY
Emil and the Detectives'
First Movie Presented
By Department.
"Emil and the Detective," the
first all-German talking picture to
be presented by the department,
will be shown at the Stuart thea
ter, Saturday, May 18, at 9:30 and
10:45 a. m. Dr. W. K. Pfeiler,
Professor of German, states that
"It is a rare opportunity offered
students to see one of the out
standing talking films ever pro
duced in Germany.
The film is produced by tne u a
company in Germany, which is
comparable to Metro-Goldwn-
Mayer In the U. S. It is written
by Erich Maestner, the most prom
inent young German lyric writer,
of international reputation, ranked
with Heindrich Heine.
The picture is a full length fea
ture lasting 75 minutes, showing
the experiences of a boy in Berlin
on his chase of a criminal who has
stolen money from him. It shows
an authentic view of life in Berlin,
with an intense and interesting
plot. Dr. Pfeiler states that the
German is usually distinct, and
that students should be definitely
interested as more than 400 of
them have read the story upon
which the film is based.
Dr. Joseph Alexis, chairman of
the German department, has been
instrumental in obtaining the pic
ture.

Gang Fight Endues
As Factions Clash
On Eve of Election
Terminating political activity on
the eve of election, a free-for-all
riot broke out last night when the
Green Toga and Progressive fac
tions clashed on the corner of 16th
and S streets, resulting in property
damage around $100 and several
cracked skulls.
Hostility first flared up when
students participating in the Green
Toga rally, which began about 9
o'clock, plastered the walls and
windows of the Sigma Nu house
with rotten eggs.
Beginning their rally at 10:30,
the Progressive forces had finished
their rounds of sorority houses
when they reached the 16th street
corner, shortly before midnight.
There they met the Green Toga
campaigners, massed and waiting
on the Theta lawn.
Invectives were hurled, a shout
went up, and missiles ranging from
mudballs to rocks started flying
into both ranks. Ingenious Green
Togas connected a hose at the side
of the Theta house, and sprayed it
Into the melee.
The front soon extended onto tho
lawns of Alpha Omicron Pi and
Alpha Phi. as the battlers settled
down for a general siege. Two
Green Toga rioters, knocked un
conscious by the flying debris,
were carried into the Phi Psi house
for attention. Apple reinforcements
soon strengthened Progressive pro
visions, and a renewed attack
drove the Green Toga forces back
of the Gamma Phi Beta house, as
activity finally subsided.
Greatest damage was done to
the Kappa Alpha Theta lawn,
which was completely torn up by
the rioters. No arrangements have
been made to settle for the dam
age, according to reports received
early this morning.
