The student tax will remain at
$14. if the students accept the $16,668.23 budget submitted by the student board of finance when it is presented in assembly today. This is
the largest budget ever to be submitted to the student association, Mr.
Clarence A. Ilidlev, treasurer, said.
It is $566.58 larger than last year
when the total budget for the year of
1930-31 amounted to $16,101.65 and
provided for a $1 1.00 tax.
The student enrollment is placed at
1183 by the finance; hoard, and thus
tin tax remains at $14., Mr. Ridley
explained.
The student association rejected
the three recommendations made b\
the student hoard of finance last F, i
day. The hoard recommended that
the Lion he dropped from Ihe budget,
that increases he disallowed, and the
tax he $13. l!y opposing these recommendations, the students rejected
a possible $13 lax. The tax has
been $14. every year since 1928
when the total budget for that year
amounted to $14,652.20 and the lax
was only $13.
The following dates have been des
ignaied by the student board of li

TWO TO COMPETE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
IN MEN'S FINALS
By KENNICTH MILLER, '32,
SPORTS EDITOR, THE NEWS
T h e skillful serve, the clever placement of the ball, and the tennis experience of Sanford Levinstein, 'M.
the defending champion, enabled him
to vanquish "Al" Kronk, a special
student, in the semifinals of the annual men's tennis tournament. Kronk
fought courageously, but Levinstein
playing with his usual calmness proceeded to win the match in straight
sets 6-1, 6-1.
Carl Tarbox, State's tennis captain, earned the right to oppose
Levinstein in the finals when he
turned back Gordon Hughes, '32, veteran tennis player, in a fast moving
match. T h e scores were 0-1, 6-2.
The finals will be played shortly,
.and either captain Tarbox, or former
captain Levinstein will soon be th
possessor of the championship tenni
cup.

President Brubacher Tells Art Class
Of Use Of Campaign Posters In Russia
T h e propaganda arned on by the
Soviet government y means of poslers has a far-reaching inllucnc
pecially on the Russian youth, President A. R. Brubacher told the art
appreciation class in a talk be gave
recently on Russian art.
_ In explaining the import of the various posters which be showed the
class, Dr. Brubacher said that in general they are of two types, those attaching the church and capitalism,
and those advertising the advantages
ol collective farming, soviet schools,
how to use library books, and similar
subjects. The last named are especially directed toward the children.
One important phase ol" the poster
campaign is the inspirational effect
on the young people of habits of in-
dustry, of perseverance, and of selfsacrifice, aims which Dr. Brubacher
finds are being realized.
Miss Eunice I'critic, assistant professor of art, discussed the artistic
qualities of the posters, pointing out
the effective way in which action
rather than words is depicted, to get
a r m s s an idea to a people still largely
illiterate in many sections of the
country. T h e actual artistic merit
of the posters is fairly high in some
of them, Miss I'erine said. The posl;r showing priests snatching c: ins
falling from a winged top hat, suggests Andrea del Sarto in the richness of the coloring and the excellent
composition. Soviet Russia is producing no great art al present, sheadded.
Andrew Hritz, \i2 was elected the
senior representative on the finance
board at the class meeting Tuesday,
according to Leah Dorgan, secretary.
Mary Kant, \\2 was nominated
girbs' athletic manager.
The contract for caps and gowns
was given to Cottrell and Leonard.

Aged Stanford University Chancellor
Mourned For Valiance Of Peace Efforts
Stanford University, Cal.— ( I P ) —
Dr. David Starr Jordon, HO, chancellor emeritus of Stanford I'uiversity,
scientist and leader for world peace,
died here recently.
Said the New York Nation of bis
death :
"A brave, farsighted and noble citizen, a great college president was
David Starr Jordon, whose death in
the fullness of years has been reported. The cause of peace in the
United Slates hail no more devoted
advocate in season and out of season.
When the folly and the madness of
the war lust wire upon us in 191b-17.
Dr. Jordon faced calumny and abuse
with calmness and unfailing courage.
He was tried but not found wanting,
and unlike the many pre-war pacifists
of the type of Nicholas Murray Butler, he refused to compromise or to
recede in any way from his position
that war was the crime of crimes.
Indeed, il is heartening to record that
ibis admirable patriot and great
scientist and educator declared in bis
last utterance that 'all war is inur
robbery, trickery, and no nation ever
escaped great losses of men, prosP'-rity m l virility. W ir kie.vvs no
v iclor.' I le was the author of many
volumes, seven of which were given
to the cause of peace. His autobiography of his well-lived years he called
'The I lays of a Man.' I le was one
ol the ureal group of college presidents, including such men as Eliot of
Harvard, Angell of Michigan
Van Ilise of Wisconsin, who not only
advanced education and educational
methods, but were inspiring citizens
and leaders of public opinion as well."
