Mascot Hunt Is OnToday

Pi~lcLS J\l'tCI' t.hc Woozlc

At last the Mascot Hunt. Arterweeks of planning, of secret meetings,or suspense, the gr-eat day really ~H'-rives. 'fhis year the hunt will be un-like any of those of previous years.There has been a constant populardemand tor revision of' the mascotrules and in the attempt to satisfythis demand, the rules have beenbrought up La date. The changes de-cided upon are purely experimentalthis year and if they do not proveexpedient, new revisions will be madefor further hunts.In the first place, the hunt will last

(or one day only and this day, insteadof coming the Monday after .Iun iorbanquet, is not until the Saturdayfollowing, the hunt lasting for oneday. Saturday was chosen becauseeveryone in the two classes has theafternoon free, '1'he mascot will behidden as usuat. following the Junior-Sophomore banquet at Thames, in thehour from 8: 30 to 9: 30, Everyone isrequested to rematn in t hel r- dOl:mi-tortes during that hour. At a givensignal the hUol,ltwijl begin at 7:30Saturday morning and last until tapsat 5: 30 that evening.A new rule has been made in re-

g'm-d to changing t.he hiding place ofthe mascot. During the period thatt.he mascot is held by one team, thehiding place may only be changedonce.Due to the shortening of the dura-

Cup for Competitive PlayGoes to SeniorsPtays in Gl'eat Contrast

To the Senior class went the cupror the best class play on Friday night,March z ard. 'Ph e plays presented byboth classes were unusual, and of-rered Quite a contrast to the perform-ances or the previous week, TheJuniors chose a short charactersketch entitled Retreat by GraceRuthenberg, a student at ProfessorBaker's school at Yale, The scenewas the front porch of the Ames Re-treat for the Aged and the time mighthave been any time, The sightof five old people, each one atype in herself, rocking away rurtous-lyon the front porch, rocking be-cause there was nothing else to do,could not but provoke laughter, al-though the sentiment that one feltmight have been very different. 'I'herewas Mrs, Atwood, a "comror-tabte''woman who could "go to heaven oncor n beef and cabbage;" t.hen, deaf,little Mrs, F'ingle who misunderstoodwhat was being said; Mrs. Beaufortewho tried to keep her interest in lifeby playing a little game wit.h herself-and no one seemed to understand:La.ll, thin 1\11'.'russom who kept up aperpetual war on flies as he puffed hiscorn-cob pipe; Mr. Tillet, a shrivelled-up, little man who still consideredhimself the favorite with the ladiesthat he could not have been in hisyouth, All of these characters fittedtheir roles very well especially snarly,grouchy Mr. Tussom and fussy Mrs.Fingle.The setting fOl' the play was very

well done in every respect. It showed8 great deal of ability on the part qfthe committee whose work it was.The Seniors chose as their play,

"Beuuty and the Jacobin~" J)y BoothTarldngton which. it is interesting tonote was given here about five yearsago with great success, The roleswere extremely long and di~u1t, yetvery well done with a great deal ofskill and finish. The men's parts es-pecially reftected the art and abilityof the actors. Val sin, Agent o( theNational Committee of Public Safetywith his debonair manner and readywit wove an atmosphere of charmthat was typical of the .period, EloiseD'Anville's voice was remarl~ablysuited to the role that she played withgreat skill. The faithful Darsonvilledid not over do his great stupidity butkept it right at the point where itcould be nothing ot.her than the fun-niest bit oC the play. Too much can-not be S<'l.id in praise of Louis, clevertl'ansformo.tion o( a man into a womanwho still looked like a man,On the whole, it was very ·well pro-

duced. The acting was clever and inkeeping with the play and the settingwas very cleverly devised, The cast.-:.ndcommittees are as follows:

WELCOME 1929With this issue, the Nelc8 passes

from the hands of those who havehad it in their charge for the pastyear. At this time, we who are leav~ing the .\Tew8 welcome the opportunity.tor expressing our appreciation of thecooperation shown us by the mem-bers of the staff. We leave the lYrIC8with a certain l'eluctance, a feelingof ambitions not entirely reallzed, yetwith the confidence that the Juniors,who are to take over the work weare giving up, will enter into it witha spirit and an enthusiasm which willbe clearly evident in the results theywill achieve.

Dear Editor: ",Yith belter facili-ties in our Dramatic Club than inmany colleges and, no doubt, with asgood talent, why has C. C. been PI'O-ductng plays of little depth and worth,while other colleges are continuallypresenting plays of force and value?Other women's colleges are not arrardto attempt difficult pieces. For ex-ample, Hunter recently gave a fu-turistic interpretation of Shake-speare's 'I'he 'J'emprsl; Vassar gaveOhek hovs The M(l/Ti(lge Propo8(ll in thethree d ijfer-errt movements; realistic,modernistic, and futuristic; 'weuesteyoften gives Shakespeare and Ibsen.We need not copy others, but surely

we have enough originality and pro-fundity of thought at C. C. to trydramatic productions of equal calibre.

Having ascertained throughthe temperature of your nose that ItIs decidedly cold In the room, you con-tinue the pretense of calm sleep.Finally she addresses you brightly,"Good morning! How did you sleep?"and you give up the unequal struggleand respond,-as gt-a.ci ously as possi-ble under the ctrcumstances-c-vob.very well thank you!"The next step is to insert a ther-

You inquir-e feeb-ly if it will go up to normal during theday, and are promptly reassured. Thismakes you feel much better indeed,In fact, so much so, that you think youwlll arise, A parting shot fromthe door Is conveyed by the news thatthe nurse "will be right up with yourbreakfast, so you'd better hurry andget ready!" And with that she dis-appears kitchen ward. "But," you re-flect bitterly, as you crawl out of theproverbially warm bed and fish toryour 'mules' on the equally prover-bially cold floor, "why do I have toget up anyhow at this hour, withnothing to do all day but read?"There is no one around to answer yourquery, and, being once aroused,further sleep is clearly out of thequestion, so you conclude lifelessly to"hurry and get ready," there beingnothing better at the moment to dothat you can think of.Once more ensconced in glory in

"NOW EAST, NOW WEST"

By Susan Ertz

Cosmopolitan, indeed, is the atmos-pher-e of Susan Drta's latest novel. Itsparkles with life and color and yetis deep with that depth which is bornof an innate understanding of humannature, so characteristic of SusanErtz. The back-ground Is ever shift-ing. We are whisked abruptly fromNew York to London, to Blarritz, toFlorence, absorbing thirstily and fullythe individuality of each place, fromthe sophisticated homeliness of Lon;don to the sparkling artificiality ofBia.rr-Itx.The story Itself is a character study,

Susan Erta's clever pen directs eachcharacter with the clear, sharp skillof a surgeon's knife, and weighs andjudges what it finds there in the man-ner of a Portia. She presents in "NowEast, Now West," instead of the muchused but never exhausted triangle, acom pa.rattvely new geometric form-the square. A typically Americanbusiness man stands at one corner.He is representative of the best inthousands of his kind, prosperous,patriotic, deeply in love with his wifeand child, content ~vlth his businesswotld and golf, leaving society andculture of the intellectual sort to hiswife. On another corner is his wife,ueauurut with a magnetic chorusbut incapable of any deep emotion.She is clever and selfish with the ar-t i-ficiallty of a successful social climber.These two are alone at first makinga straight line, pleasantly comfortable.1\'[oved by business and the wife's de-sire for larger fields to conquer, theymove to London. Here the square isformed. Ouriosite the proud andflittered wrre appears an impeachableEnglish gentleman, titled and pos-sessed of a remarkable savor-ratre.He makes love to the charming youngcreature opposite him as naturally andthoughtlessly as he would smoke acigarette and causes immediate de-structlon. Opposite the husband inthe fourth corner of the square comesa lovely, mellowed, cultured English-woman to understand and to love him.The distorting and converging of

this square makes the pattern of anexceptionally fascinating and sophisti-cated story.DIZ.

RULES FOR WOMEN AREMADE MORE LIBERAL

AT STANFORDStanford University has recently put

more responsibility on its women stu-dents by an Increase in liberality ofreguIattons. Rules governing socialconduct are drawn up and enforcedby the women students through theirlegislative body, and their Councn. orjudicial body. The Conference andCouncil, with the Dean of 'women.who is their unofficial advisor andwho represented the University, havebeen working since last spring on arevision of the rules.According to the Stallfor({ Daily,

"the chief changes may be listed as;I \Vomen may have unrestl'icted1 :30 leave on Friday' and Saturdaynights upon signing names and des-tinations in the registration book atthe various living groups. On othernights they must secure permissionfrom the 'women's Council. II Menmay stay in women's living groupeuntil 1:30 on Friday and gatuedavnights. III Freshmen women maymotor after dark in g'ro upa of touror more. IV Two OJ' more Stanfordwomen may now enter a men's livinggroup." "For week-ends now, 1: 30leave is automatic and unreetrtcted."On other than Friday or Saturdaynight, houses close for students at10: 30.The- Stanford attitude on smoking

is expressed in the new regulations asfollows: "Respect for the sentimentof the University against womensmoking in public gatherings on thecampus. on the- streets of the campus,01' in the vicinity of University build-ings, is upheld by A. ""V. S. Whetheror not women shall smoke in livinggroups is left to the yearly decisionof the individual living groups. It isrecommended that women do notsmoke in public places in Palo Altoor the vic1nity."-lI'cllrsley Collcge NClf18

PARTIALITYSince we are often accused of hav-

ing less to do to gain good gradesthan the gentlemen across the way.the following information gleanedIt-ern the :L'ulone Ilutlcbaloo may befound amusing:

"Do women secur-e higher gradestha.n men because they linger afterclass to flirt with the professor andlaugh most intelligently at his worstjokes? Instructors at 'wtsconstn de-clare that this is untrue anci thatwomen's looks never enter into thecomputation of grades. One' teachersays that men are more unfair be-cause they offer to bootleg for aninstructor to rate an "A". One pro-fessor, nevertheless, recently wI·ote atthe end of a woman's theme, 'I shouldlike'to give you better grades becauseyou have such an exquisite soul-sodo study' ."-Radcliffe Daily.

YALE UNIVERSITY ABOUTTO ABANDON ITS HONOR

SYSTEMAnother college seeks to solve the

"honor system" problem:"'l.'he Yale faculty wiil have to take

over the supervising of examinations.Dean Clal·ence 'Y\'. Mendell said todayafter it became known that only 263of the 1,608 students in the collegehad voted for retaining the hono1·system under which students take ex-aminations without being watched bytheit' teachers."Of the 1,608 students, 148 favored

a return to faCUlty supervision, 263wanted the honor system retained and361 wanted no supervision of anykind.

"'1 he facuity turned the reins overto the students when it allowed thehonor system to be instituted, and itis very likeiy that they may have totake them away again since the stu-dents have failed to take much in-terest in the system, the Dean said."

WORK FOR WOMEN INPUBLISHING HOUSES

DISCUSSEDOpport.IUlit.ies Few But Dcssrnbrc

On 'I'h ur-ada.y afternoon at fouroctock in the library, Mr. CharlesSeaver from the MacMilian Company,spoke informally to a rather srnu.ll butexceedingly interested audience on"Work tor Women in PUblishingHouses". Mr. Seaver is h imse lI anexecutive in the company and he wasthoroughly famlliar with his subject.He was also a ver-y delightful speaker,as he put his audience at their easeimmediately and, at the same time,made every point that he had tomake, clearly and distinctly. He saidthn t there is work fOI' women in pub-lishing houses but that it is quite lim-ited and holds the greatest ap pea l [orthose ttteru ..1ity inclined. There aresever-at wnys of en tering the puhlish-ing- bustnoss. but 1\'1'. 'Seaver stronglyadvised the sooretartal route [or col-lege gr-aduates. He said that the sal-arie~ for the beginner are :;Lvel·ageand the opportunities for advance-ment not very numerous, but that fewwho enter the profession ever leaveit. College applicants for the posi-tions usually have for their reasons,either that it is an easy transitionfrom college life, that it may lead tothe advancement of their own literarycareers or that it is merely a goodposition in a large' city, where theymay hav~ social experiences. Mr.Seaver closed the lecture by offedngto answer any questions that the stu-dents might have on the subject andthus cleared up quite a few technicalpoints.

SNAP COURSES HAViEPLACE nl CURRICULUM"Snap courses" are soon to be a

regular part of the Columbia Uni-versity curriculum, according to a re-cent statement of Dean Herbert W.Hawks. Dr. Hawks declared thatthere are many students who gainmore from merely sitting in "n aninteresting but easy course than theywould from intensive work on a diffi-cult subject. AII of which does soundreasonable, but not- conducive towardthe doctrine of higher learning whichis becoming so highly emphasized.
