...year-old constitution may be amended only once in five years. Impatient to let his citizens share in "the more abundant life of the Roosevelt New Deal," Governor Earle proposed to revamp the whole document at one clip. He wanted to up the State's borrowing power, shift taxes from real estate to incomes, lop off or consolidate antique political offices and divisions, lay the ground for social security legislation. First step was to get Pennsylvanians to say Yes to a Constitutional Convention in 1936. Last week after a hot campaign in which Republicans fought fiercely against revision, Pennsylvanians said...
Notwithstanding the administrative difficulties which are entailed by such a radical shift in student interest, the preliminary enrollment figures, showing a great shift toward the Social Sciences, demonstrate that the student is making use of his newly-won prerogative to exercise his own academic judgment. Since this was the purpose behind the abolition of distribution requirements, President Conant, Dean Leighton, and Chairman Gummere should regard the first results of their experiment as a success...
...Association was linked with unconscionable private propaganda and the name of the domineering Midwest utilitarian. Invoking the shade of their more saintly patron, the powermen reconstituted their body as the Edison Electric Institute. Leadership passed to the great power companies of the so-called Morgan-Drexel-Bonbright group-a shift calculated in those days to inspire nothing if not complete public confidence...
...Drury boat had only one shift made in the seatings when Coach Charlie Whiteside decided that Larry Mills, who pulled the bow oar in Monday's workout, would return to the third boat and that Ray Clark would come from Cutler's boat to take his place. In the Cutler shell he moved Haskins from bow to three to fill up the hole left by Clark and took up Rantoul from the Scott eight to fill the Haskins vacancy at bow. The thirds he left unchanged except for the return of Mills to the number one sweep...
...gravitational field should be "stretched" by the strain-i. e. suffer an increase of wavelength, which should displace spectrum lines toward the red (long wavelength) end. Thus, light winging away from a heavy star should show a definite redshift. Obstacle to confirmation was that another and unrelated spectrum shift existed (the Doppler effect), due to the motion of the star away from or toward the observer. Last week the same Dr. Trumpler announced that he had solved the difficulty by measuring the redshift of nine "O" stars (hottest, brightest, heaviest in the sky) moving along in clusters with other stars...
