The College News VOL. XVIII, No. 17 ^ WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1932" Price, 10 Cents Eastern Gardens Show Man Close to Nature Chinese Scholarship Lecture by Miss Douglass on "Far Eastern Gardens" BRING PEACE TO SOUL Stuart Chase, Noted Economist. Speaks Men Must Learn to Control Machines or Era Will End in Disaster SANE PLANNING NEEDED "Far Eastern Gardens" was the subject of the illustrated lecture by Lucille Douglass given under the aus- pices of the Bryn Mawr""Chinese Scholarship Committee in Goodhart Auditoriuni. Monday afternoon, April �I. "All Asiatic gardens express man's i.neness with nature," said Miss Douglass, "and there is a certain con- linuity of development to be traced l hroughout the gardens of China, Japan and India." The symbolism <>f these oriental gardens is condi- tioned by the religous and philosoph- ical beliefs of the races in question. Their gods have more often been the forces of nature than dieties of hu- man form. Chinese gardens are embodiments of peace and harmony, the open gate- ways to the spiritual world, and arc not designed for decoration and util- ity as in the West. The Chinese un- dertake the plans for gardens very seriously and may require years to bring them to completion. To them a garden is "an outward expression of a man's inner self and a reflec- i ion of his very existence." There are certain elements necessarily to be found in Chinese gardens. Water is always present in the form of a pool of unfractured surface�surrounded by strange and beautiful natural rock formations. Three particular trees are usually included because of their symbolical significance, the bamboo for refinement, the pine for longevity " and the wild plum for youth. The paths wind around as in a maze, passing over camel-backed bridges, and, strangely enough, creating an impression of vastness in a small gar- den. Only potted flowers are in evi- dence as the Chinese dislike great splashes of bright color in their gar- dens, because they hinder contempla- tion. The gardens are enclosed by walls, which often have circular door- ways, expressing the perfect whole formed by heaven, earth and man in Taoist doctrines, and have green tile windows. Dragons guard the en trance- to keep the evil spirits away. These gardens are retreats from the world and offer chances for contemplation in accordance with Buddhist ritual. Japanese gardens are almost entire- ly derivatives of Chinese gardens, but t hey are more elaborate and more na- tional in character. Moreover, where- as the Chinese strive to become one with nature, the Japanes are satis- lied merely to observe it from the out- . sjde. Their gardens are completed very quickly and are often miniatures of large landscapes. They are for- malized, conforming to certain con- ventions, in that each must contain a lake, an island, a beach, a perpendicu- lar stone, near hills and distant moun- tains. There are stepping stones oc- casionally, carelessly arranged to all appearances, and bridges carved from one large stone. All gateways have roofs_�o give shelter from sudden showers. Grass is permitted to grow, the flower-beds are arranged in per- fect proportion, and the trees are ' trimmed in geometric shapes. Minia- ture pagodas are introduced instead of the pavillions of the Chinese. The (Continued on Page Five) Changes in Sunday Chapel April 17th Musical service. Address by the reverend Doc- tor Guthrie Speers, Minister of the Brown Memorial Church, Baltimore, Maryland. May Sth The last service is outdoors if the weather permits. Rev- erend Doctor Paul Scherer, Pastor of the Lutheran Church, The Holy Trinity, New York City, will speak. In a lecture entitled "The End of an Epoch?" given in Goodhart Audi- torium April 11, Stuart Chase, author, of Men and Machimn, The Tragedy of Wante, etc., weighed the assets and liabilities of our mechanical civiliza- tion and asserted that unless men learn to control the machines they have created, the era inaugurated by James Watt in 1705 will end in dis- aster. The problem of production lias at last beeri solved, but the question of assuring adequate purchasing power demands intelligent planning and vigorous thought. Two schools of philosophy have arisen to evaluate the machine. The first of these, the Frankenstein chorus of gloomy prophets, wonders despair- ingly if the machine is worth its price. The other group maintains that the machine has lightened man's burden and permitted him to develop his spiritual nature. That decided improvements from the human point of view have result-, cd from the introduction of modern inventions cannot be denied. Tliey have brought a higher living stand- ard, shorter working hours, less su- perstition, less physical^cruelty, loss hatred between peoples now in closer communication, longer life for the average man and better physical health.

A the audience will bring about a fairer distribution of (Continued on Pace Five) Modern God Uses Life's Mechanisms to Guide Us On Sunday evening, the Reverend James Gordon Gilkey, D.D., Rector of the South Congregational Church, Springfield, Massachusetts, outlined the modernist conception of God as a power behind the universe utilizing the mechanism of life to guide us ac- cording to His pre-conceived desires. The discarding of the primitive idea of the supeVnutural. that of physical phenomena, with the advance of philqsophy and science, has led to a significant division in religious cir- cles about the reality of God and, con- sequently, the efficacy of prayer. The idea of God as a power interfering miraculously in the lives of individ- uals has been replaced by a realiza- tion of God as a mind in the universe "guiding the ship of life toward the haven of divine desire," a power work- ing through the brain to bring with- in our range the consciousness of a new idea which will reorganize our life, bringing us.new courage. The explanation of prayer resolves itself into the way by which we make ourselves responsive to divine influ- ence, and the answer to prayer is not a change in our external circum- stances, but a new idea communicat- ed through contact with divine intel- ligence. God's help is no external, miraculous change, but, as the psalm- ist phrases it, a "restoring of the soul." see is its "beauty of rhythm and mass production," but there is an all-im- portant mechanical perfection be- neath, which must not be spoiled by fool-faults of dancers who have misl- ed rehearsals. The English Eolk- dancing Society is coming, and as its members will be critical, il should be a point of honor to represent Miss Pelts as well as possible. In flower-production we reach our lowest point. There are nol even enough llowers for the May Pole, not to mention the rough farm-carts, which cannot go bare because of their shape. An addition to the proces- sion suggested by the faculty, is a flower-covered go-cart (calling for In- creased flower-production), filled with .lean-Francois ("anu, Frieda Wago- ner, and another baby. Though the farm-carts might be left bare in a pinch, we may not.

He will speak again Friday in the eleven o'clock hour, and again next Tuesday. All art students and all others interested are in- vited to attend. Dance Recital Requires Audience Be Initiated The dame recital presented lasi Wednesday in the gymnasium bj Miss Isabel Cooper and three of the ad . vauccd dancing pupils who have stud- ied at Salzburg at the Duncan School was received by the audience with varying degrees of enthusiasm. If the present critic learned anything from the performance it is thai this type of dancing is a thing one must be "educated up to."' The comments of the initiated, which she carefully noted, were almost without exception rhapsodic in their appreciation, and from the points the.V stressed she has attempted to build up an impromptu critical foundation. The dances them- selves were in the first place of espe cial interest, because they are the tra- ditions] dances that the famous Isa- dora, idol of the whole group, origi Dated. The main theoretical plan is, as far as we can ascertain, to listen to and interpret the music as closelv as possible! In this respeel Miss Phyllis Simms showed especial talent. She had. and here again we pause to apologize for what may he a false standard of criticism, a peculiar emo- tional quality, almost lyric, thai wo* very charming to her audience.

Students of this school arc taught to walk, to land, to run, and to leap with an im- pressive grace and control before they embark on the really creative part of their work. Kvn as untutored a lay- man as we were could not escape be- ing impressed by the pure beauty of movement displayed throughout the whole group of dances and the case with which it was effected. .Miss Tag- irarl seemed to us the most perfect technically of the three students, and while we would hesitate even to at- tempt to analyze her performance, her strength and facility amazed us. [''rum the point of view of the lay observer Miss Barber was the most pleasant to watch. She was a sense of lint- which makes each second "i' her work a perfect picture. An un- identified commenter near us said that her manner was archaic, and if by that they meant that a classical sculptor would have found in her p>>ses a legion of interesting studies, we agree unreservedly. Miss Bar- ber also managed to project a sense of delight of her work that was espe- cially charming. One felt that she enjoyed every movement she made, and consequently one shared in the enjoyment she seemed to feel. Miss Cooper's dancing we cannot even attempt to judge. It was so flawless and so even in quality that only one who understands the fine points of the technique could npssibly criticize it. We have an idfa that Miss Cooper is very near to the per- fection of this type of work, but as . (Continued on Pa**"' Five) "The performance of one simple trick of magic will suffice to show that accurate observation is the most difficult thing in the world." said Dr. Karl Dallenbach, of Columbia Uni- versity, in bis lecture on '"The Psy- chology of Magic," Friday afternoon. "The errorless report has never been given and not one person in one thousand can describe the simplest event correctly." The psychology of testimony has shown that .when wit- nesses make statements which they sincerely believe true, at least ten per cent, of them are false. Science, which requires absolute truth and ac- curacy, has found it necessary to safeguard its observations by con- -lanl repetition of the experiments, by simplification of them and by a variation of the conditions. The feats id' magic prove conclusively that knowledge can only be obtained from scientific facts. Magic is the oldest of the arts, and its devotees haw literally banded down the ancient civilizations. The temple priests of the early Babylon- ians were good magicians, and had clever mechanical devices, based on the principles of levers, to "mystify their parishioners. Even the most primitive tribes had medicine nrtVn. These men knew that knowledge is power and by their magic convinced their fellow-tribesmen that they were in league with the All-powerful. The Inus, a barbarous Japanese tribe, had a lire-walking trick which baffled the Society of Magic in London for many years. From careful observation it was eventually discovered that the priests stepped lightly and quickly on stones composed principally of a lava, which didn't get very hot no matter how long it was heated. These stones were scattered among others in a defi- nite pre-arranged order. In the Middle Ages the following classifications were adopted, white magic, performed by the aid of an- gels; black magic, performed by the aid of devils, and necromancy, per- formed by the aid of the dead in Purgatory. The Mediaeval church forbad both black magic and necrom- ancy, and the Inquisition devised trials by fire and water to judge whether or not the defendant was in league with the |K>wcrs of hell. Mod- ern writers make less mystical classi- fications and divide magic into feats of dexterity and natural and abnor- mal phenomena. Moreover, psycho- logical principles are at the bottom of all conjuring and spiritualism. The magician depends largely upon the inexperience, that is, either the blank ignorance or incomplete knowl- edge, of his audience, upon their ere diility. simple or associative, and upon their imperfect observation, due either to oversight or to distracted attention. The operator himself hiu-t have special knowledge of persons and things; he must be self-possessed, and a perfect master of concealment. Ex- pert knowledge is not necessary. The magician need only know, for in- stance, that distraction of attention is his greafM ally for causing over- sight of the audience. He must un- derstand the principles of moving and loud stimuli, and be very deliberate with his movements. Psychology has taught him that he must never re- peat his tricks, and must never say he is going to do something until after it is done. The audience never knows the where, when or what of a magical trick, swhile these are the criteria of all scientific work. Magic complete- ly violates all the canons of science. At the close of the lecture Dr. Dal- lenbach performed and explained a number of the simpler magical tricks to the delight of his audience.

Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each "eye" of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering like stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring

How to Buy Water Towables by Rave Sports®
Whether you water ski, wakeboard, barefoot, or just like to go boating, towables are a must-have for a true water sports experience and family fun. New designs, materials and features have allowed tubing to cover the spectrum from cruising securely with family and friends to a hi-tech, thrill-seeking extreme sport. Multi-rider models now allow friends and family to ride together and share in the thrills. It is essential that you select a towable that fits with your family's needs, skill level and expectations. Tubing is the number one water sports activity and no matter what skill levels you possess, the fun will be enjoyed by all.
Understanding Towable Materials
Nylon Nylon is used in most covers for towables. Nylon comes in many different weights or thicknesses referred to as denier. The larger the denier number the stronger the nylon will be. Higher denier numbers usually are used on more expensive towables or ones that are designed for multiple riders.
Polyester A 600 denier polyester coated with PVC is as strong as 840 denier nylon. "Solution dyed" polyester is commonly used for boat lift canopies and awnings for buildings, due to its improved color retention and non-fading properties. Towables using these "treated polyesters" will exhibit good durability and sun fade resistance.
PVC (Vinyl) PVC is not only the coating used on the bottom of some of the new towables, but is also what all of the bladders or inner tubes are made of. PVC comes in several thicknesses which are measured by gauge. PVC comes in several colors and is easily shaped to match perfectly within its covers. All the PVC used in towables is considered heavy duty (24-gauge to 30-gauge). In contrast, PVC used in inexpensive pool toys or "Slip and Slides" would be considered standard or light duty material (10-gauge to 14-gauge).
Neoprene Neoprene is a soft, four-way stretch nylon or polyester material covering a soft foam layer. Neoprene is primarily used in wetsuits but is also used as a soft covering over nylon or polyester towable covers. It provides added comfort and helps prevent skin chaffing in high-rub areas. These areas are under the handles, knees, ankles, head, and elbows. Neoprene is expensive and therefore is used primarily in more expensive towables.

Determining What Shape Fits Your Needs
Towables come in a variety of shapes and sizes. These shapes help determine how the towable performs on the water. Other contributing factors to performance are boat driving and body position. The following are descriptions of tube shapes and performance characteristics when the boat is driven appropriately and safely.
Round donut style towable with partial cover This is the oldest shape and most economically priced towable on the market. Originally designed as a single-rider tube, it now comes in several sizes and multi-rider configurations. For adults, it is a lay-on-top towable that is extremely easy to get outside the wake, but it also tends to roll over quite easily due to its small footprint and high center of gravity. For children, it is somewhat uncomfortable to ride, due to the hole in the center that can be too small to sit in and for younger children, too big to lay on. Recommendation: Priced right for a first-time buy, but not recommended for young children, due to the tippiness and ride comfort.
Deck Tubes Deck tubes are flat, lay-on-top towables that are round, D-shaped, or delta shaped in design. They hold anywhere from 1 up to 4 riders. Deck tubes are usually fully covered and provide an exciting experience in tubing due to the fact that they cross the wakes easily and your face is close to the water, giving you the true feeling of speed. Deck tubes can flip over easily due to the large flat surface exposed to the air when going over bumps and during whip turns. Body position is critical for staying on board as long as possible. Recommendation: Best for teenagers and young adults, looking for the thrill of speed, and the challenge of trying to stay on the tube.
"Ride-In" Tubes "Ride-in" tubes come in a variety of shapes and sizes and accommodate anywhere from 1 up to 4 riders. "Ride-in" means the rider sits down inside the towable similar to sitting inside of a small boat. Many models come with inflated floors or seating areas, which provide comfort and dryness for the rider. Some of the more expensive versions feature neoprene padded head rests and fully nylon-covered sides and floors. "Ride-in" tubes provide the feeling of comfort and security while still producing a thrilling experience for the riders. They are usually difficult to tip due to the low center of gravity. Recommendation: Best for young children to adults who prefer dryness and comfort over exhilaration and potential roll overs.
"Ride-On" Tubes "Ride-on" tubes also come in a variety of shapes and sizes and accommodate anywhere from a single rider up to 6 riders. "Ride-on" means the rider sits on top of the towable either straddling the fuselage in a torpedo design or sitting in a recumbent position. Torpedo shaped towables are designed for multiple riders and follow predominantly behind the boat. These tubes offer the least amount of whip but can be somewhat "tippy" due to their long narrow shape and high center of gravity. Recumbent style tubes come in D-shaped versions and provide the thrill of a deck tube with the rider remaining in the seated upright position and the head and back areas supported. Recommendation: Torpedo-styled "Ride-on" tubes are recommended for multiple riders to enjoy being towed with all their friends. Recumbent styled "Ride-on" tubes are recommended for thrill seakers looking for whip while seated in a supported, upright position.
"Rocker" Designed Tubes Rocker designed tubes are towables that flow upward from side to side, creating a rocker effect on the water. There are two types of "Rocker" designs.
The first is a continuous rocker which flows evenly from side to side like a "U" shape.
The second is called a 3-stage rocker which has turned up wings and a flat area under which the riders lay or sit. These tubes are thrill rides that in extreme whips will actually ride up on the wings but yet seldom roll over. These tubes are typically very stable when airborne over a wake, which makes for a thrilling ride with fewer spills. These designs come in all 3 configurations "ride-on", "ride-in", and "lay-on". These are new concept tubes that produce an exhilarating ride without losing the riders. Recommendation: For all rider types of any age or ability.
Concept Tubes Concept tubes are towables designed for specific performance criteria. Concept towables can fly, roll, or produce some type of unique experience. Concept tubes are normally more expensive and are limited to one or two specific experiences. Recommendation: Best for extreme riders looking for a unique thrill that cannot be provided by other towables.
Driving Instructions
Unlike water skis or wakeboards, which are controlled by the rider, towables are reliant upon the boat driver exclusively. The boat driver creates the experience by changing direction which in turn causes the towable to go in the opposite direction due to centrifugal force. The boat driver needs to follow certain rules to make sure the tube riders are safe, surrounding boats, tubers and skiers are safe, and that they are not scared out of their minds.
1. Make sure you have legal seating on your boat for each rider in the towable.
2. Select a safe area in which to tow your water tube. There should always be a minimum of 100-feet of unobstructed water on either side of the boat to allow for the tube to swing from side to side. There should be at least 3,000 feet of unobstructed water in front of your boat.
3. Towing speeds should never exceed 15mph for children and 20mph for adults.
4. Choose a direction by locating a point on the opposite shore and drive toward that point. This means even though the boat turns from right to left, it is consistently going in the direction of that original point of land.
5. To produce the whip effect, if so desired, make long, 45 degree sweeping turns while keeping constant pressure on the tube and tow rope. Never start accelerating into a new turn while there is slack rope. This will cause whip lash to the riders and put tremendous strain on the towable and tow rope. The driver needs to accelerate as the boat turns to the right and continue accelerating until the tube crosses the wake, at which time the driver decelerates and lets the tube continue its path until the rope tightens before turning to the left. Remember, a tube in a whip will travel much faster than the boat itself. Always decelerate the boat after the towable has crossed out of the wake!
6. When turning the boat around to pick up fallen tubers or simply to go in a different direction, always make a large gentle turn with no acceleration. It is advised as a courtesy to other boaters that you maintain a general direction while pulling tubes. Make obvious to other boaters your directional intent so they can predict where you are going and adjust their path accordingly.
7. Discuss and coordinate hand signals between driver and rider(s) so there is clear communication during the ride.
8. In addition to the driver, you should always have one additional person in the boat with a ski flag. This person's job is to watch the towable at all times. If riders fall out, he/she will use the flag to signal other vessels to stay clear until all riders have been picked up.
Tow Ropes
1. Tow ropes, or more commonly referred to as tube ropes, are specifically designed with higher break strengths and less stretch than standard water ski ropes. These ropes are recommended by the WSIA (Water Sports Industry Association) and are designed for the number of riders the tube is designed to pull. In other words, purchase a two person tube rope for a tube that is designed to pull two people, a three person tube rope for a tube that is designed for three people and so on. Never pull a multi-rider towable with a rope that is not recommended for the size of the tube, no matter how many people you have on board!
2. Tube ropes should be a minimum of 50' in length and should not exceed 65'.
3. Tube ropes should have a loop at both ends for quick connection and should never be tied to a towable or boat harness.
Tube Tow Rope Specifications & Guidelines
WARNING: Always check with the manufacturer of your specific towable product for tow rope specifications. Offered here as a GENERAL GUIDE ONLY are the WSIA (Water Sport Industry Association) recommendations.

Parker's numbers have been off the charts, averaging 22.2 points on 53.9 percent shooting (46.5 percent from the 3-point line). He will battle Wiggins for the top spot, and the Jazz are in good position to land a future star.Next
Randle is a bit of a tweener, which could hurt his stock. But he is an offensive beast inside and, remember, the Sixers have defensive ace Nerlens Noel in waiting.Next
Exum is a combo guard capable of playing off the ball, and an excellent athlete. It is possible that Exum will play a year of college basketball, but he is eligible for the draft this year.Next
Smart would be the ideal fit for Sacramento — a big, talented point guard who can set the tone defensively on the perimeter.Next
The Hawks will be the big beneficiaries of the Nets' misery this year, and they're likely to come away with a future star. Embiid has established himself as an outstanding defensive big man who will be ready to play immediately.Next
So things did not exactly work out for the Cavs and their Andrew Bynum experiment. Not to worry, there are quality big men available in this draft, and the Cavs will be in position to get one.Next
The Magic have some good young big men and will likely look (again) to trade guard Arron Afflalo. There have been some disappointments among this year's shooting guard class, but LaVine has been a pleasant surprise, averaging 12.2 points on 54.9 percent shooting.Next
Gordon does not have jaw-dropping numbers (12.5 points, 7.6 rebounds), but scouts love his all-around, team-oriented game. The Bulls need to load up in the frontcourt, and Gordon would be a perfect fit.Next
Vonleh has a 7-foot-3 wingspan, and it has shown in his early rebounding performances — he is averaging 9.5 boards per game. He is a work in progress offensively, but he has huge potential.Next
The Grizzlies need help all over, especially on the perimeter. But some of their shooting-guard targets (Harris, Wayne Selden, James Young) have struggled badly in the early going. Harris is probably the most talented of the bunch, though.Next
Young has taken 86 3-pointers to date, against just 57 2-pointers, and is making only 33.7 percent from the arc. He is a better shooter than that, and should start showing it.Next
Hood has been a very pleasant surprise and is climbing up draft boards. He is averaging 17.6 points, shooting 54.3 percent from the field and 41.7 from the 3-point line.Next
This pick is protected in the Top 13, so the Suns would be quite happy to have things remain status quo. Harrell is a little undersized (6-8) and unpolished offensively, but he can be a beast inside.Next
Selden is big, strong and athletic, but there is a chance he could return to school if he is too overshadowed by Wiggins. He is averaging just 8.7 points.Next
The Bobcats need depth all over the roster, and Harrison would bolster a weak guard crew.Next
The Bulls could be in for an overhaul when Derrick Rose returns, and it would be a good idea to stock up on the frontcourt, with Carlos Boozer an amnesty candidate and Luol Deng a free agent.Next
The Raptors need to get some offense out of their frontcourt, and if there is one thing McDermott can do, it is score. He would make an interesting frontcourt mate with Jonas Valanciunas.Next
Are they sold on Otto Porter as their small forward? Is anyone? Scouts are split on Saric, but he has potential and is averaging 12.9 points on 48.5 percent shooting for Cibona this year.Next
It has been a bit of a slow start for Robinson, who has been below average from the 3-point line (32.6 percent), but he is still a quality scorer who can rebound.Next
The Mavericks would lose this pick if it is not in the Top 20, a nice benefit for the Thunder. McGary is averaging 9.5 rebounds, and certainly has a role in the NBA. Only a sophomore, McGary could return to Michigan after undergoing season-ending back surgery this year.Next
Dinwiddie's stock has recovered as he has improved his shot after a poor sophomore year. He is shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from the 3-point line.Next
The Suns are collecting young assets, and while Harrison is not a guy who can run the point, he is a talented scorer.Next
He is a tweener at 6-8, which is why he is not rated higher. But Ellis is a polished player who would be ready to contribute off an NBA bench.Next
Poythress has been a disappointment for the Wildcats, but he has ability and might benefit from a change of scenery.Next
Ennis is not a great athlete, but he does a little of everything and the Orange's undefeated start has helped his stock.Next
Christon is not a pure playmaker, but he is a very good scorer who could provide some punch off the bench.Next
Hezonja is a versatile scoring guard who has garnered increased attention this year. He might not come to the NBA without a guarantee.Next
Big numbers for Carson at Arizona State (19.8 points) have gotten him noticed. He is only 5-11, though, so he will have trouble climbing into the Top 20.Next
Napier is a senior, which will probably hurt his stock, but he is a well-rounded guard, averaging 15.4 points with 6.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

With a white mop of hair, crisp button-down shirt and tie, the designer looks mighty Warholian on the cover of the magazine's June-July double issue. White wigs and fake eyelashes aside, Jacobs does have some Warhol tendencies — the way he runs his business, his artlike advertising, stores that feel like clubs and collaborations with Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and Richard Prince — according to Interview's Glenn O'Brien, who penned the cover story. "Andy was always talking about how new art is business art," O'Brien said.
Jacobs, who crossed paths with the Pop Art artist a few times, was floored to be the front man. But he is still not sold on the similarities. "I don't think of myself that way," he said. "Warhol is Warhol. He's practically a god. I thought, 'I'm going to get a lot of hell for this.'"
Truth be told, as a teenager, Jacobs read Interview religiously and was seduced by snapshots of Warhol's Factory. But the designer was more intrigued by their lifestyles than by any one personality in particular. "That really introduced me to that Studio 54, interesting, New York jet-setty lifestyle," Jacobs said.
He was such a devotee he often drew Richard Bernstein's Interview covers. "There was something so compelling about them. I wasn't trying to pass them off as my own," Jacobs said.
As of Thursday, Jacobs will be seeing more than quadruple, when T-shirts and tote bags imprinted with his cover shot, as well as magazines, will be splashed in the window display of his Bleecker Street store. (By chance, "Giorgio Armani" is one of the cover lines.) Proceeds from the $35 T-shirts and $15 tote bags will benefit the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Jacobs has lensman Todd Eberle to thank for this particular 15 minutes of fame. He is the one who casually said to O'Brien at a dinner party, "Gee, Marc Jacobs is the new Andy Warhol," O'Brien said. "That kind of clicked in my head."
There were countless clicks during the 12-hour Paris shoot with lensman Mikael Jansson, who has pictured Jacobs in a Rellik dress and Louis Vuitton platforms, among other looks. "Even though my scalp and eyelids were completely sore, it was all worth it," Jacobs said. "It was just a ball."
In honor of what would have been Warhol's 80th birthday in August, the issue spotlights all things Andy, including photo booth shots of what "knowledgeable parties confirm" is his penis. There's also a note written by Valerie Solanas nine months before she shot him, complaining about the "gross misspelling" of her name.

FIRST-HALF FUMBLES: If publishers weren't nervous about the economic downturn a few months ago, they should be petrified by now. According to Media Industry Newsletter, most fashion magazines reported significant declines in ad pages for the first six months of the year, as the broader recession has clearly begun to affect the magazine business. And, if June is any indication of things to come (with many fashion titles posting double-digit declines for their June issues), publishers are going to be hard-pressed to grow business over the course of 2008.
Overall, the luxury fashion magazines are still performing better than the mass market titles — as most will argue, the rich keep shopping no matter the state of the broader economy, and luxury brands are still doling out dollars to market to that fat-pocketed demographic. Among the high-end fashion titles, Elle and Harper's Bazaar are reporting gains and Vogue and W are reporting relatively flat numbers. At Elle, which tacked on page gains for every issue in the period except June, ad pages jumped 6 percent through June, to 1,175. Harper's Bazaar increased ad pages 9 percent, to 890. Vogue reported flat numbers, coming in at 1,328 ad pages. W reported a 2 percent drop in ad pages, to 878.
Meanwhile, the mass titles were challenged during the first half. Cosmopolitan posted a 15 percent decline in ad pages, to 791, a loss of 141 pages for the six-month period. Glamour's ad pages dipped 8 percent, to 859, and Marie Claire reported a 7 percent decrease, to 600. In Style, which is prepping for a major redesign with its August issue, reported a 9 percent decline in ad pages, to 1,349. Shopping magazine Lucky reported a 13 percent decline in ad pages, to 718, and More, which lost editor Peggy Northrop to Reader's Digest late last year, reported a 23 percent drop in ad pages, to 452. With such dismal results for the first half of the year, publishers are going to be under pressure to drum up business for those usually advertising-heavy September issues to make up their losses. But even matching last year's results in this climate seems unlikely — several magazines trumpeted their best Septembers ever in 2007, before the full brunt of the economic downturn took hold.

CW GIVES AWAY HANDBAGS TO GET VIEWERS: "Gossip Girl" isn't the only show to experience in dip in ratings since the writers' strike ended, but it's one of a handful of programs that are offering up extra incentives to attract real-time viewing, as opposed to TiVo, in a bid to satisfy advertisers and attract new ones. For the past four episodes and also during the season finale tonight, a contest has been running that began on New York's CW11 and caught on in nine other CW stations across the country (all of which are owned by the Tribune Co.).
Each week, flashy signage has appeared at random during the show, inviting viewers to text one of the characters in order to win a free handbag from Botkier or Goldenbleu. Only those who text before the show ends are eligible. Last week's contest resulted in approximately 7,000 texts, said a CW11 spokeswoman.
For Goldenbleu, which donated 40 bags in all 10 markets, participating was an easy decision. "Promotional opportunities on television rarely present themselves to accessory brands, which makes this exciting," said Andrew Sather, chief executive officer of San Francisco-based Goldenbleu. "I can't think of many instances where there's this much of an ongoing tie-in. 'Sex and the City' pioneered this."
A Goldenbleu spokeswoman noted that clutches cost anywhere from $380 to $500 and bags go for approximately $700 to $1,000. The exposure Goldenbleu received in all 10 markets, including spots that ran on the station prior to the shows, could be worth $500,000 in advertising or maybe more, added the CW11 spokeswoman. So even if every bag donated was $1,000, which wasn't the case, Goldenbleu would only be out $40,000 compared with weeks of exposure to its target demographic. The CW11 spokeswoman isn't sure if another promotion will start when the new season of "Gossip Girl," begins although she noted that the station also just finished up a contest with "America's Next Top Model."
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that, despite all the buzz surrounding "Gossip Girl," the CW is lagging in ratings and the network's future is unstable. During May sweeps, ratings have been down 22, percent and the network is down approximately 28 percent of its target audience so far.

HOPING FOR BETTER HEALTH: On the long road to rebranding itself as a content company rather than a magazine company, Time Inc. has tried many Internet strategies over the years — restricting magazine content online to subscribers and AOL users, experimenting with and then retreating from online-only brands and pushing many of its print writers to file and break news online. Health.com, relaunching today, represents a slightly different tack: spinning off the Web site of an existing magazine into a separate brand that is more a general health portal than a women's lifestyle or fitness site. It's been taken out of the hands of Southern Progress Corp.'s digital operation and Health magazine, and put under the leadership of Scott Mowbray, who has been editor of Popular Science, editorial director of Time4Media (sold to Bonnier Group in early 2007) and executive editor of Time Inc. under John Huey, to whom he still reports. "This has been a complete Web immersion," Mowbray admitted. "I'm an old media guy." He has an editorial team of about 10 and a "fleet of freelancers" who will produce stories and video on a range of health issues.
The site will have the same diagnostic data licensed by other health sites, but the hope is that adding service-oriented stories — for example, how to tell your kids and boss about a health issue — will be a key point of differentiation, and though some articles will be repackaged from Health magazine, the emphasis is on Web-only content. "This company has learned a lot about how you drive readers in print to the Web....We know a lot more about that than we used to," said Mowbray. Such as? "The fundamental thing we've learned is that the information ecosystem on the Web is different. People come to you differently, and they're less brand-conscious and more content-hungry." He added, "Some of the habits of being in print proved to be dysfunctional on the Web, and other things we have found through our success — journalism, great writing, getting it first — are absolutely central to the Web." John Brown, Health.com's general manager, said $20 million worth of in-house ad inventory in consumer magazines and banners across Time Inc. sites would promote the new site.

TINA'S ITALIAN IDYLL: Tina Brown says she's been spending her days at InterActiveCorp.'s headquarters, hard at work at her news aggregator launch, but next month will bring a change of scene: Italy's Lake Como and the legendary Villa d'Este. She'll be writing a story for Departures, having been approached by editor Richard David Story after the Magazine Publishers of America gave her a lifetime achievement award. It'll be her first time in the region, Brown told WWD, so she's happy to "let Departures be my trip planner."
"It looks like a most magnificently restful and darling place to spend 10 days in June," she said, adding that it would also be a celebration of her husband's birthday, among other milestones. Would that be his 80th, per Wikipedia? "That's his little secret," she said. Brown was also tight-lipped on her newest venture, though she did say that Michael Kinsley "is going to be writing and contributing when the spirit moves him."

We previously covered the top-ranked players successfully recruited by ACC schools on National Signing Day. Now, we take a closer look at each team's haul and how it stacks up against their conferencemates, while also highlighting each school's top recruit. Once again, we'll be using ESPN's rankings for consistency's sake. Please don't take that as us putting too much stock in these (or any) numbers, however.
1. Florida State Seminoles (19 commitments; 10 in ESPNU Top 150): Florida State cleaned house, going blow-for-blow with the SEC's top programs and ultimately landing either the nation's best, or second-best recruiting class. With a focus on team speed, the Seminoles bolstered themselves on both sides of the ball with a frighteningly good batch of players — some of whom will jump right in to contribute. Top Recruit: Mario Edwards, DE (No. 1 overall, Grade: 90)
2. Miami Hurricanes (33 commitments, 6 in ESPNU top 150): It would appear that off-the-field issues matter very little to this incoming class, which is great for the Hurricanes. In spite of the threat of a multiple-year postseason ban, the 'Canes lured in an enormous class, mostly based on tradition and their locale. If nothing else, it's a PR victory for coach Al Golden and his staff. Top Recruit: Tracy Howard, CB (No. 18 overall, Grade: 83)
3. Clemson Tigers (20 commitments, 6 in ESPNU top 150): Either Clemson's recruits didn't tune in to their Orange Bowl thrashing last month, or they did, and see it as an opportunity. While offense was surely a big part of this class, the Tigers grabbed plenty of help on defense, too, with the hopes of improving an effort that appeared subpar more often than not (see 70-33 bowl beatdown). Top Recruit: Travis Blanks, S (No. 15 overall, Grade: 84)
4. Virginia Tech Hokies (30 commitments, 1 in ESPNU top 150): As always, Frank Beamer stressed going after athletes who could play football first of all, and then worry about plugging them into his system (especially on the defensive side of the ball). While lacking a huge star, it's a deep class of quality guys (there's an enormous concentration of players rated at a grade of 78) that will play where they're needed. Top Recruit: Joel Caleb, ATH (No. 83, Grade: 81)
5. Virginia Cavaliers (26 commitments, 1 in ESPNU top 150): The Cavaliers 2012 class is all over the map — covering all positions, and most of the eastern seaboard. After a surprisingly successful season, it appears word spread quickly, and the result was a shockingly good group coming in, keeping the program on its apparent upswing. Top Recruit: Eli Harold, DE (No. 124 overall, Grade: 80) Continue reading

Recent Sock Reviews
FITS Sock Medium Hiker Crew
Try a pair of Fits socks and never look back. Andrew F has a great review of these socks. The owner of the outdoor sports store I frequent says, "Paula, I've got the sock for you." They are the sock for any hiker in my opinion. They are a bit pricey to buy but worth the cost. I've since been back to buy another pair. The design of the sock is the key to the comfort. You look at them and think I'm not so sure about the deep hill pocket on the sock. But it works, keeps the sock in place. They don't… Full review
Darn Tough Merino Boot Sock Full Cushion
I've worked through many socks in my time, but nothing compares to Darn Tough. These socks do everything you would want from one of your most abused pieces of equipment. Incredibly durable, comfortable, don't fall down, resist odor, stay warm when wet, plus they're made in the USA! Darn Tough puts all other brands in the higher-end outdoor sock to shame. Full review
Darn Tough Merino Boot Sock Full Cushion
Socks that are comfortable, durable, and odor resistant. 'Guaranteed For Life' is quite a statement from a sock manufacturer. No strings. No conditions. For life. I have been wearing brand name socks for years, and this product is the only one in its category that has not become thinner, thread-bare, or developed holes. It should be noted that I never put my socks in the dryer, and either hand wash in the field (without soap), or use the gentle cycle in the washing machine, inside out as directed. Full review
CEP Women's Compression Running Sock
A sock that speeds up recovery and keeps your legs/feet stable and feeling fresh during a long run. The first thing I noticed about CEP socks is how bold and bright the colors are. Luckily, there are black and white options for the more conservative dressers. I prefer the funky colors and have fun mixing and matching them. I'm wearing the bright blue CEP socks! Getting them on Truthfully, ladies, these socks can be harder to put on than even the most noncompliant pair of pantyhose or spanx —… Full review
Darn Tough Men's Merino 1/4 Sock Mesh
One of the best performing socks I've ever worn. I have really sweaty and hot feet. These not only keep my feet cool and dry they are comfortable. They fit well where they need to. Even though they are $13+ a pair, the life time warranty really make it worth it. I buy one pair a month. Eventually I'll never have to buy socks again. I use this specific model for running, everyday, and work. I work 12hrs + a day and they hold up. Full review
DeFeet Blaze
Don't let the name put you off, these socks can be worn all year round, but especially stand out in the colder months. An all around great sock. I've used this sock in a variety of outdoor pursuits in a variety of weather conditions with a variety of shoes/boots and the one constant in each situation was the quality and high-performance of this sock. Overview and Conditions: I came across these socks late last year at my local bike shop. Why they were carrying a trail sock was a bit surprising… Full review
Darn Tough Merino Micro Crew Sock Cushion
The difference between fresh caught shrimp from the ocean and popcorn shrimp at a fast food joint. I recently got turned on to Darn Tough socks and I have zero hesitation in saying I will never buy another brand again. Putting these on for the first time was as if the master sock artist, Leonardo DaSockio, had painted them on my feet. Not only was there absolutely zero bunching on the trail, but my feet stayed dry (very unusual for me), they provided the perfect amount of cushion and I didn't need… Full review
Injinji Trail 2.0 Midweight Mini-Crew
These socks are great for hiking! I love these socks! They fit perfectly and really do help prevent blisters. I got some terrible blisters on my toes and the balls of my feet on a 20-mile backpacking trip early this summer and subsequently bought these socks. I did the same hike last weekend and I did not re-blister my feet even though I was carrying even more weight this time! The socks are comfortable, moisture-wicking, and stretchy. They have a tighter, stretchy area in the middle that really… Full review
Darn Tough Team Micro Crew
Hiking or running, these socks will keep your feet comfortable for miles and miles. Highly recommended! My wife got me these socks as a Valentine's Day gift...don't laugh, it was actually very thoughtful. I said I wanted to get more socks for hiking and such, and she found what turned out to be a great pair of socks for me. I've been wearing these socks for many different occasions since I got them. Everyday use during the winter, running, and for hiking. I've put probably 100 miles on them so far,… Full review

Bill Nye and Ken Ham debate
Being someone agnostic to some of the issues discussed, I thought it was an interesting and informative debate.
This is a big debate that covers many disciplines of science a little here and a little there. It might have been better to limit the debate or parts of the debate to biology or cosmology, instead of jumping back and forth. That being said Ken and Bill both made statements I agreed with. And both made statements I disagree with.
Ken Ham frames the debate around the definitions and different kinds of science and defines Creationism. Which is a challenge that Nye does not address adequately. Instead, Nye repeatedly asks Ham for a testable predictions. However, this misunderstands Ham's differentiation between observational science and historical science. Ken did say the Bible is testable and offered a few remarks on this. Ken Ham should have...
