FirSt-CIass Institution.
The University of Arizona, under the
leadership of President Marvin, has
been brought from a third-class uni
versity to a first-class university. But
there is still a weak spot, the agri-
cultural college. Here Doctor Marvin
met resistance which could not be over
come under the faculty constitution. 1t
has not functioned except for some
foundation work upon which a real
agricultural college can be built. 1t
is now largely failure and of no prac-
tical help to the farmers of Arizona.
This condition of the agricultural col
lege is due to the faculty constitution
contral, which President Marvin found
in operation when he assumed the pres
idency. He has not had the power to
select the personnel of the college, to
prescribe it's courses or to arrange the
extension and experimental work He
had not the power to select or control
the executive head of the agricultural
college. This weakness has been over
come.
At the last meeting of the board of
regents, held two weeks ago, we Sc
cured, over opposition, the abrogatlon
of the faculty constitution. This was
essential. The faculty constitution
provided that the members of the fac
ulty and neither the president of the
university nor the board of regents
should say who should be hired to
teach, who should be discharged and
what should be the curriculum of the
university.
Keep University Out of Politics.
The agriculture has been ham strung
all along with the other departments of
the school. The agricultural college
must function. Doctor Marvin appre-
.ciates the need. He understands the
cause of the present conditions. He
has consistently tried to place at the
head of the agricultural college one of
the foremost authorities on agriculture
in the United States. Agriculture is of

Minor Accident.
But one accident, that one of minor
Importance, occurred to mar the day.
That occurred shortly after the re-
sumption of the days program this
afternoon when planel piloted by
Lieut.. Edgar Chappell collided with
one driven by Capt. Floyd G. Shumaker,
flight instructor for the national guard
unit, at the field. The accident oc-
Cured as Captain Shumaker, who was
bringing his ship to the ground, en-
countered that of Lieutenant Chappell,
which was just taking the air. The
two ships were about 80 feet above
ground at the time and both were
brought to the ground, only slightly
damaged Private w. T. Johnson of
Fort Logan, a passenger in the Chap
pell ship, was slightly injured in the
collision.

Capt. J. H. Corder of the air male
service was second and Lieut.. v. d.
Stone third, with 1876. The race
consisted of five laps on a five-mile
course with the pilots alighting from
their planes at each lap and presenting
a package to the judges and then re-
turning to his ship and taking off. Van
Breese, flying an all-metal monoplane
of San Diego, won the first honors in
the 5OOO-feet altitude test for craft de-
veloping more than 100 horsepower
His time was $50 minutes. P. C. Yer

Romeo and Juliet. -

FIVE good and sufficient reasons
exist in Carl Laemmle's belief that
this is a splendid time to make a
super production of Romeo and
Juliet
First. he has the Juliet. Ever since
Mary Philbin sprung into fame in
Merry Go Round" newspaper and
magazine editors and fans have been
referring to her as the ideal Juliet.
And II was only last month that one
of the leading fan magazines an
nounced the result of contest for
the ideal Juliet. This result was Mary
Philbin.
Second, Mr.. Laemmle has the
Romeo. Andre Mattoni. who was re.
ferred to by newspaper people when
he first landed in this country with
MIR. Laemmle as the Blond Nalen-
tino." is thought to be just as ideal
a type for Romeo as Mary Philbin is
for Juliet.
Third. in E. A. Dupont. who has at.
tanned the highest pinnacle of direc
toral fame in Europe through his re-
cent production of "Variete." Mr.
the director to make splendid
picture of Romeo and Juliet" Fur
thermore Dupont has done a tremend
Gus amount of research work and
planning in anticipation.
Fourth. Mr.. Laemmle feels that
Romeo and Juliet" is the most ia
nous love story ever written. and that
as such 1t would make the most ac-
ceptable moving picture.
Fifth. the success of recent pictures
with endings which are not saccharine
or synthetically happy ones, has been
so marked this last year. that Mr..
Laemmle has no hesitancy in an.
nouncing that the Romeo and Juliet"
