Price 3 Cent*HOLD 28TH PROM IN IDAPRESIDENT TAKES OFFICEQuality, Not Number Of Stu¬dents, Will BeAim“TIME IS RIPE FOR PROGRESS”The new administration of theUniversity was inaugurated yester¬day at noon when President EmeritusHarry Pratt Judson handed over hisoffice in Harper library, symbolizingthe presidency of the University, toDr. Ernest DeWitt Burton, recentlyelected acting chief executive.Dr. Judson was in his office allmorning, receiving farewell visitsfrom members of the UniversitySenate and other friends he has madein his official capacity.

He will continue to residein Chicago, however, and at his pres¬ent address for the time being.New Regime Begins QuietlyThe regime of Acting PresidentBurton began with a quiet hush ofactivity which accorded with his de¬termination to make the period inwhich he should hold office “one notof stagnation but of advance.” Thenew dictaphone, recently installed toreplace the system of oral dictation,set a tone of business-like efficiencyupon the office under its new manage¬ment.Acting President Burton is not onlyplanning to carry on the work con¬ceived by his predecessors. “We shallhave our own dreams and ideals,” hedeclared, “as well as those which weinherit.”Tn a statement to The Daily Maroonyesterdav.

GEIGERU. S. Expert Conducts Re¬search Into Nature ofFood PoisonsNoteworthy developments in con¬nection with the study of botulism, afood poison carrying with it a highmortality rate, are revealed in a re¬port to the Surgeon-General by Dr.J. C. Geiger, epidemiologist of theUnited States Public Health Serviceand at present connected with the bac¬teriological department of the Uni¬versity. Recent experiments and re¬search work conducted under the di¬rection of Dr. Geiger show that poi¬sons peculiar to spoiled foods can «beabsorbed through the unbroken skin,a discovery of no small importancein the medical world; and that thedeadly toxin lurks in home brewedliquors, a revelation not of import¬ance to the field of medicine alone.“The absorption of bottrfinus toxinseems not limited to any particularportion of the gastro-intestinal tract,but may occur on or from any mucoussurfaces, broken skin areas, or freshwounds,’ Dr Geiger says. It waspointed out, though, that obsorptionof the poison through the unbrokenskin took place only when the con¬taminated food was vigorously ap¬plied to the skin surface.Illicit Liquor AnalyzedIn the case of botullnus poisoningfrom home brew, samples of liquorwhich had caused six deaths or» aranch in California were sent to Dr.Geiger at the University where an¬alysis of the moonshine showed thatit had developed a real kick—10 per¬cent. But along with the alcoholwas found the deadly botulinus whichhad developed in the course of fer¬mentation as the result of usingspoiled fruit in the brewing. Sostrong was the toxin that all deathsoccurred within twenty-four hoursafter partaking of the beverage.Another interesting point made inthe report is that potency does notincrease with acidification of the poi¬son as has heretofore been thought.This was shown when white mice wereinoculated with the botulinus toxinand hydrochloric and lactic acids. Inall cases the strength of the poisonwas not increased by acidification.This disproves the theory formerlyheld that when the poison found itsway to the stomach its potency wasincreased by contact with gastricacids.

Members of the UniversityOriental department yesterday de¬clared their belief that when the coffinof King Tut is opened a completeand elaborate “Book of the Dead” willbe found. The book of the dead, itwas explained, is written on papyrus,and is an outgrowth of the “Coffintexts.”Give Letter From BreastedThrough the courtesy of Dr. Wil¬liam F. Edgerton to whom the letterfrom Prof. Breasted was addressed,1The Daily Maroon is enabled to pre- jsent excerpts from what is the mostrecent and probably the only letterwhich has been received from Prof.Breasted since the start of his trip.The section of the letter dealingwith matters of public interestfollows:“My Dear Mr. Edgerton:“You will be interested to knowthat Gardener and I have settleddown at the museum and have alreadydevoted a week to the big task weare undertaking. We have a verylarge amount of space placed at ourdisposal and our gallery, over a hun¬dred feet long, is already filled withdismounted coffins. The photographeris busily at work and Gardener and Iare copying industriously. The taskproves "to be far larger than we hadanticipated, and also very much moredifficult. It will be a matter of yearsbut I have never been more convincedof its necessity and usefulness thannow. Gardener feels the same way.I hope the camera may prove of greatassistance in increasing the pace,which is now very slow.”i*James H.

They seemrather persistent in their frequencya.nd numbers, and we incline to a care¬less view in regard to them. If theyare beneficial and good, we say, theywill be accepted. On the other hand,they more often discard themselvesby virtue of their inefficacy or in¬adaptability.But once in a while we are confronted by an innovation, a new meth¬od of doing some old, accustomedthing, and we are faced by the moreserious problem of deciding for our¬selves whether or not the new methodshall be retained or thrown out. Sucha situation has arisen over the newlyadopted preferential system of bal¬loting put in use by the Undergrad¬uate council last Friday.The new preferential ballot wasused in electing members to the Coun¬cil and Commission in cases wheretwo or more representatives were tobe chosen. The voter was given theprivilege of casting a double or triplevote for one man or woman, and cor¬respondingly lesser support for othercandidates.LTnder this method of balloting,used, as we understand it, in electingtwo or more to positions of equalimportance, the voter specifies whichcandidate he most desires to see fillone of the offices. To him it is not aquestion of which two, or which three,of those up for election, are the bestsuited to represent the class, butwhich one. He then gives his lesservote to someone in whom he placesless confidence, rather than to some¬one whom he feels is equally capableof assuming the responsibilities ofoffice.The preferential ballot has alwaysbeen a tremendous weapon in thehands of the minority. Its appearanceon the campus, where the fraternitygroup may concentrate and combineon one candidate, giving him thelifirst choice on the ballot, and scatter¬ing their other votes, will usuallybring about a minority triumph.For the majority who feel that theymust elect two or three men or womenof equal capability, there seems noredress. They are prohibited fromspecifying their two or three choices,and instead they must let individualliking guide their vote.Under the old system of voting aman won by majority, not by prefer-erence. It seems to us that this man¬ner of election, being the more trulyrepresentative, is the one that shouldbe retained in all future balloting.OUR PROF. BREASTEDTwo eminent Egyptologists are con¬ducting the exhumation of the sarcop¬hagus of Pharoah Tuthankamen nearLuxor, Egypt. One of them is Prof.James Henry Breasted, chairman ofthe Department of Oriental Langu¬ages and Literatures, and professorof Egyptology and Oriental Historyin the University. The importance ofthe distinction need not be enlargedupon. Prof. Breasted is everywhererecognized as one of the world’s lead¬ing Egyptologists.It is rumored, and probably not un¬reasonably, that the University mayprofit materially by the presence ofProf. Breasted at Luxor. Very prob¬ably he will be able to obtain for theUniversity collection in Haskell Mu¬seum some of the priceless pieceswhich are now being removed fromthat ancient vault. But even shouldwe not receive these things, the Uni¬versity will be further enriched byhaving associated with it this remark¬able scientist and scholar who is nov?attracting the attention of the world.Have you tasted our pies?Special Student Lunch—40cBaldwins Restaurant1025 E. 55th Street(between Ellis & GreenwoodBy Students For Students Women’s SwimmingTeams Are ChosenMembers of the regular Junior andSenior college swimming teams havebeen chosen and the final lists areas follows:Junior college: Louise Allen, Mar¬garet Brew, Louise Conklin, Gerald¬ine Fitzgerald, Catherine Rawson andRuth Stagg.Senior college: Helen Budde, Al¬berta Hyman, Ellen Le Count, SuzaneLurie, Julia Rhodus; Margaret Sling-luff, Mildred Tayler, Ruth Corrigan.The meets will be composed of fourform events, breast stroke, sidestroke,trudgeon and crawl and three speedevents, the twenty yard free style,forty yard free style and twenty yarddash.
