Another of TIME'S well received and cheerfully acknowledged mistakes. Page 13, issue of Feb. 9, last column makes reference to J. J. Parker "Hoovercrat." 'Tis not thus. Judge Parker is an iron bound; rock ribbed; dyed in the wool; etc., Republican. Our "Hoovercrat," one of the few left of an 86,000 majority in 1928, is Frank R. McNinch of Charlotte, now on the Federal Power Commission. Both are esteemed citizens...
Four University eights will put out from Newell boathouse this afternoon for the first outdoor practice of the season. The crews were picked last night by W. B. Bacon '33, G. J. Cassedy '33, J. E. Lawrence '31, and A. H. Parker, Jr. '32, the four University strokes, in such a way that their respective strengths will be approximately equal when they go on the water today...

Cassedy will have first selection of a number six man, Lawrence, second; Parker, third and Bacon fourth and the strokes will alternate in that manner, selecting the men who will row in the crew with them. The idea is to make up four crews as evenly matched as possible so that the early work may be more interesting to the men and so that better competition will be afforded and good-natured rivalry...
