WANTS CLASS HEAD
NAMED EACH YEAR
Eugene R. HaIlett, 'O5, Suggests
Change in Practice of Uni
versity Graduates

BERK KELEY, Sept. 1.-Declaring that
the old college tradition of electing at
graduation a permanent class presi-
dent to serve through life was anti
quated, Eugene r. Hallett. president of
the class of 1905 of the university. has
sent out notices to the members of
that class of a meeting which will be
held in the near future.
The custom of choosing. the perma-
nent president of the class during the
last half of the senior year has long
been a cherished tradition of the cam
pus. Hallett, who introduced many eff
fective and successful innovations and
is credited with having edited the best
Blue and Gold. the Junior annual, in the
history of the university while an un-
dergraduate, does not see much merit
in the tradition. He believes it would
be better for the class and the univer-
annual gathering at commencement
time. He has therefore asked the class
of 1905 of which he was probably the
most prominent member, to consider
the question of eleeting a president
each year at the reunion. The secre-
tary, he thinks, should be the only
permanent officer of the class organi-
zation.
Hallett will ask the class to vote
mDney for the restoration of the mar
BILE chair for the Greek theater which
was destroyed in the San Francisco
fire. This chair was one of the three
contributed for the completion of that
section. of the theater below the

Breaks Down and Prison
Opens for Husband

OAKLAND, Sept. With sorrow
full tale OF misfortune and inability to
earn a livelihood as a vaudeville actor
since the failure of his wife's health,
George Francis, gray haired and shah
by, pleaded guilty to charge of steal
ing from rooms in a West Oakland
lodging house and was sentenced by
Judge Brown to four years in the pen
itentiary at San Quentin.
The resistance put up by Francis
after his discovery and his long flight
until trapped in blind alley were the
reasons for the heavy penalty.
Francis explained that he had a fa-
vorable contract with good circuit
but that his wifes health was shat
tered by her experiences in the San
Francisco fire of 1906, and when she
broke down he was unable to hold the
contract.
Later his age told against him
when he sought other forms of en-
ployment and he said that they. were
reduced to want and finally drifted
apart and that he does not know
where his wife is at present.
AS a last resort he took to petty
thieving in rooms in lodging houses
