Ask Seniors toRegister for JobsPlacement Office MakesPlans for InterviewsWith Employers.Representatives of more than 200major industries will open their re¬cruiting season at the University inJanuary. Recruiters will interviewsenior men interested in positions,seeing about 30 a day. No specialtraining is required, unless the ap¬plicant desires a'technical job.Included in the list of firms send¬ing representatives are General Mot¬ors, Armstrong Cork Products, Gen.eral Electric, Calco Chemical, Mar¬shall Field and Company, HarrisTrust and Savings Bank, and Bauerand Black.John C. Kennan, of the studentplacement bureau, urges senior mento register with him immediately.“These firms offer splendid opportun¬ities,” he declared. “Don’t let thesepossibilities slip by. When organiza¬tions, some of the biggest in thecountry, come scouting for youngmen, it means that they have some¬thing fine to offer.”Men who wish to avail themselvesof the opportunity should report toKennan’s office. Each candidate is re¬quired to submit three faculty refer¬ences, who consult with the recruit¬ers. Records of scholastc standing,activities, and employment while at¬tending the University are submittedfor inspection.One hundred ten organizations con¬sidered University seniors last year,and 95 per cent of the men registeredreceived offers.On a smaller scale. Miss Doris B.Larsh of vocational guidance is at-for senior women. Although fewtempting to perfect a similar systemwomen registered last year, almostall were placed. Miss Larsh intendsto contact more firms this year andrequests that all women interested,not necessarily seniors, register withher.Freshmen at DancesRegarding fraternity men—fresh¬men relations at girls’ club dances,the following rule will prevail: “Such'affairs will be considered as campus |dances, and regular campus rushingrules will apply.” !Signed: I-F Committee, IRalph Leach, PresidentHerbert Larson, Sec.-Treas. | Newsreel Shows“Cat and Canary”on First ProgramIncludes Campus FashionShow, Mystery Thriller,War Scenes Today.The outstanding feature of theCampus New'sreel’s “three star” pro¬gram in Mandel hall today at 3:30is the presentation of one of thescreen’s greatest mystery successes,“The Cat and the Canary.” A cam¬pus queen fashion show in naturalcolors, and scenes from the currentSino-Japanese conflict round out thefirst Newsreel show of the presentschool year.The movie version of the story isidentical with S. S. Van Dine’s bookin all but the smallest details. Thebook was popular with mystery storyreaders during the early 1920’s, andwhen the film was released over adecade ago, popularity exceeded allexpectations.Philo Vance, hero and peerless de¬tective of the story, is to Van Dine’sstories what Sherlock Holmes is toConan Doyle’s popular works. Ron¬ald Colman, still a favorite in theeyes of the movie fans of the country,portrays the role of Philo Vance.Laura LaPlante, a popular silent filmactre.ss, takes the feminine lead. Onecampus woman was heard to remarkthat the show gave her nightmareswhen she saw it as a child.Marion Elisberg, recently electedHomecoming Queen, is leading in thecompetition for an 8 x 10 portraitfor selling the most tickets to theshow. Tickets are ten cents, and maybe obtained at the box-office in Man-del corridor from 11 to 3:30.Lights Blink in ChapelTower; Suspect GhostUppermost In the minds of personsfrequenting the Chapel is the possi¬bility of a person (or his ghost)roaming about the lofty heights ofthe Chapel tower.In answering a phone call yester¬day afternoon, the Chapel secretaryreplied that she did not know any¬thing about any mysterious lightsthat had been seen in the north eastcorner of the tower.However, Frederick B. Marriott,carilloneur, was standing nearby, andwas startled into recollection. “Say,”he mused, “do you suppose . . .” Itthen came out that last Sunday aparty of sightseers was takenthrough the tower. At the end ofthe tour one person was missing. “Wedidn’t have time to look for him,”said Marriott, and then the awfulsuspicion that he might still be in thetower dawned in the minds of every¬one.As it was almost time for the reg¬ular carrillon recital, Marriott, fol¬lowed by the others, went up into thetower and as yet have not been heardfrom. Although there is the possi¬bility that they themselves are lost,it is supposed that the search is stillgoing on.To those who doubt the existenceof such a person, the only answer is,“But there was a light; and a mem¬ber of that sightseeing party did getlost.” As one observer remarked, “I’dsure hate to be left alone for evenone night up in that place.”ASU Holds MeetingTo Discuss PoliciesThe ASU will hold a membershipmeeting Friday to discuss policies,principally political, of the organiza¬tion for the future. The meeting willbe closed—that is only persons whosenames are on this year’s membershiplist or who can show receipts will beadmitted.A report of the executive committeeexplaining its recent action in supportof the Loyalist government in Spainwill be presented, with a minority re¬port if any members of the commit¬tee want to make one.

A. W. Krebs, Jr., vice-presi¬dent of the Yale Political Union, haswritten this article for the Daily Ma¬roon and the Yale Alumni Magazine.)To those serious-minded youngmen who graduated from college intoa world gripped by the Great Depres¬sion (1931 to 1936) must go thecredit for the establishment ofcountless unique collegiate traits andinstitutions. Not the least of these,at Yale, is the Yale Political Union,which last week opened its thirdyear of activity .There will be an importantmeeting of the organizing com¬mittee of the Political Union in theMaroon office today at 2:30 to dis¬cuss the constitution and otherthings. Tomorrow the Daily Ma¬roon will announce the names ofthe nominees to the Union.Union SuccessfulThat the Union at Yale has ex¬perienced such marked success sinceits beginning in January, 1935, maybe laid to a combination of circum¬ stances and smart problem-solvingby its officers and sponsors. To manywho witnessed the legerdema in ofthe New Deal from 1932 on, it seem¬ed that the future leadership of theUnited States was definitely to bewithdrawn from business, given togovernment. . . .(Continued on page 3)Linn Meets Would-beBlackfriars AuthorsProfessor James Weber Ifinn of theEnglish department will meet allprospective Blackfriars authors thisafternoon at 3:30 in the Blackfriarsoffice at the Reynolds club.

Reform of Blackfriors.PublicationsFrom every point of view, except the num¬ber of “members,” publications are the mostimportant activities of the campus. They gen¬erally present the campus to their readers whilepreserving an Olympian silence as to their owninner workings. We are about to break thisprecedent.The set-up on the big three of publications—The Maroon. Pulse, Cap and Gown—is alikein that the bulk of the work is done by a smallinner circle on the staff, consisting of from 4 to15 persons. These few put the publication be¬fore school work, often practically crowd schoolwork out.The question, why do they work so hard,is one that has often been asked, particularlyby former members of the staffs. The answervaries from person to person. Many work withthe carrot of campus prestige in the senior yearhanging before their noses, urging them on.Others work for experience, others becausethey like the social contact of the office, stillothers because they hope to make money asBoard of Control members.These motives work to different degrees indifferent persons. In most of the higher ups,it is hunger for campus prestige that is thedominant motive. This is perhaps not true ofPulse, brainchild of a group of enthusiasts whocare chiefly for the idea of a newsmagazine.The great problem faced bv publications isthat of conflict between school work and workfor publications, a conflict which appears in¬evitable as long as publications exist on thepresent scale. The result is small staffs, muchoverworked. What of the future?Pulse has gotten off to a flying start, buthas no successors the present board of controlin sight. Cap and Gown has not done the first(the Student Directorv is several weeks late),and has only a few individuals in sight for nextyear, no real staff.A likely suggestion for the alleviation of theproblems is the fusion of the two staffs. Theidea is that the vear book would be much im¬proved if it consisted of bound copies of Pulsefor the year with auxiliary sections of seniorand formal group pictures. Certainly the pic¬ture of the campus year would be much morevivid than that of the usual canned writeup ofthe year. It would hav’e the further advantageof uniting the strength of the two staffs.The Maroon has the same staff problem toface. The past has seen fluctuation of thestrength and efficiency of the paper. The cycleseems to be this. When a vigorous editorialpolicy and active promotional undertakingsmake the Maroon the center of campus life andtalk, the Maroon holds its staff members welland has a few years of prosperity.

If he makes asmall box, thus saving on cardboard, he has to throwaway the big grapefruits. If he makes a big box, thussaving on grapefruits, he wastes cardboard on the littlefruits.

Bentley writes books, teaches literature, andin spare moments is the senior faculty head of Burtonand Judson courts. But he doesn’t feel that hi.s job atthe Courts i.s a particularly difficult one. “The boys,”says he, “take care of themsclve.= pretty well mo.st ofthe time, and are much easier to handle than many I’vecome across.”During his career. Dr. Bentley claims to have livedin nearly every kind of dormitory and among all kindsof .students. His experience in a New Mexico militaryacademy was perhaps the mo.st exciting. The reasonit was so exciting was that all the students were armedwith guns and sometimes ammunition, which oftenadded a di.stinct flavor to activities of a prankish na¬ture. In direct contrast to this was his experience inaustere, dignified, intellectual University of London,where he received his Doctor’s degree in English.“European universities,” he tells us, “have beenusing comprehensive examinations like those of Chica¬go’s ‘New Plan’ for years.” Academically, the .‘stu¬dents there, are quite free, although in their social lifethe universitie.s generally exercise strict control. How¬ever, Bentley favors Chicago’s plan of giving .studentson campus the freedom of living their own lives. “Acollege student should be old enough to take care ofhimself; if he isn’t, he shouldn’t be in college.”Dr. Bentley is mild mannered, mustached, good-natured, and can usually be found thoughtfully puff¬ing on a favorite briar. He enjoys talking, and is gen¬erous with his thoughts and opinions. His policy inhandling the* residence halls is to give the residents apleasant and rich .social life But this policy is strictly“opportunity, not compulsion.” Each individual is freeto take part in activities of the Halls as much or aslittle as it pleases him. Also, he wishes study conditionsto be good in the Halls and recently sent notices aroundinstructing students either to report intruding solicitorsor, “if man enough,” to throw them out. Recently a slipof a boy ha.s been observed peddling magazines in thedining halls, but no one has ventured to throw him out;evidently no one considers himself man enough.

Publications and drama¬tics again were on top as chief moneychangers, measuring their receipts inthe four-figure brackets, but two newmonetary threat.^ also made theirdebut on the financial scene.The first of these was the Univer¬sity Film Society, infant prodigy ofeccentric C. Sharpless Hickman, alsoknown as the man who ma<le massprofit on activities last year, andshrewd business man James Bernardwho found it profitable indeed to “en¬courage intere.st in motion pictures asa sociological and artistic form.”Though it was the coming-out yearof the venture, $2,539.05 rolled intoHickman-Bernard coffers. After ex¬penses w’ere paid the two headmenwere left with a $480 profit to splitbetween them. Had the profits ex¬ceeded $500 apiece for the organiz¬ers, the surplus would supposedlyhave gone to a scholarship sinkingfund, by agreement with the Dean’soffice.The other organization to make thelimelight was Campus Newsreel,manned by Phi Delt Paul Wagner.Handling $408.24 during the year,the movie went down for a lo.ss ofapproximately $12. Cause for thefirst-year bankruptcy was attributedto low prices of admission and heavybuying expenses for equipment. Withan admission charge of only 10 centsand extensive expen.ses incurredthrough wear and tear on equipment,Newsreel at present doesn’t rank intJie Big Finance cla.ss although finan¬cially better able to be a going con-cern this year.Publications are unique with theirsinking fund, established throughtheir mutual consent, .supervised bythe Dean’.s office and sorrowfully re-greted by many members. Each mem¬ber must contribute 15 per cent ofthe profits each year in return forfinancial assurance. Funds may bedrawn when bankruptcy threatens,at the beginning of the year when ac¬counts are low, or to purchase equip¬ment. But transactions are alwaysloans, the borrowed sum must be paidhack in full. To date there is about.$1500 worth of security in the sink¬ing fund.Last year Daily Maroon counted itsreceipts $3,319.68 worth less than thethe previous year. Though personalprofit for the Board has not yet beendistributed, an approximate $400profit will be split with 15 per centgoing to sinking fund, 15 per cent toboth editor and busine.ss manager, 13per cent to each of the other Boardmembers and a theoretical 2 per centfor 6 junions. Profits fluctuate wide¬ly each year, though the silent heroThey DoCome BackONCE A UNIVERSITYMAN WEARS A REX-FORD OVERCOAT HENEVER FORGETS THEWEAR HE HAS RE¬CEIVED.FOR HE COMES INFOR ANOTHER.REXFORD'SClothes for Men28 E.

After all ex¬penses are cleared, about $437 willremain for last year’s leaders, 40 percent going to editor-manager Gene¬vieve Fish, 35 per cent to businessmanager, Herbert Larson, 5 per centto managing editor Bob Cepson andphotography editor Donald Holway.In the realm of publications thereal gravy comes not so much withactual surplus profits as with specialconcessions offered to Board of Con¬trol members, such as free theatertickets, discounts, padding of expenseaccounts and due bills. An advertiserpays for a portion of his ad in cash,the re.st in trade. And the Board ofControl member then has first shotat buying the trade part of the duebill at cut rates. Advertising is onefield which the Dean’s office invades,forbidding those which advertise liq¬uor, censoring tho.se which are “lewd.”Blackfiars said to the Dean, “Ourrecepits were $7,056.14, our disburse¬ments $7,041.41.” Though Board ofSuperiors do not receive salaries ru¬mors are ever current of fabuloussums earned by big shots throughpadded expense accounts. Since theultimate state of finances rest solelywith Abbot and Prior, chief checksigners, integrity of the organizationre.sts with them, as do yearly rumors.Contrary to hearsay, the Univer¬sity does financially aid some organi¬zations. In this hallowed categorycome.s the Debate Union, which inci¬dentally has the smallest budget ofany Midwestern University team—$100, the Symphony Orchestra andthe Band. A budget is also allottedto the dormitories for a .social pro¬gram as w'ell as to Ida Noyes.

Althoughfactual, it infers that a Nazi Partymember has no place in InternationalHouse. Certainly this is not true, andthe editors know it. A discussion ofcontemporary German policy to befair must present the Nazi viewpointsand who could do better than an ac¬tual party member?This sensationalistic tone seems |out of place in the student paper ofa supposedly intellectual university.The Maroon puts itself in the classof Mr. Hearst—we deplore this.Gottlieb, B. Reuben, Wald.{The Maroon agrees that Nazisare entitled to their opinions and tothe voicing of them. We believe thatany such attempt ivill raise up bitterhostility due to the disruptive effectsuch propaganda has on our society.But cotinter propaganda is the onlyproper counteragent of Naziism. Wefurther believe that a neicspaper isjustified in playing up as a story ameeting sueh as that of Mondaynight, ed.)Editor,The Daily Maroon:At the first meeting of the AllCampu.s Peace Conference an attemptwas made by the ASU delegates tosteamroll the adoption of their “peaceprogram.” The policy of the ASU de¬liberately rebuffs the cooperation ofconservative people, insults the gov¬ernments of foreign nations and de¬grades the attempt of the sincere topromote peace.The first article condemns allgroups advocating ROTC and prepar¬edness. Couched in insulting lan¬guage, it deliberately alienates anypatriotic group. In the same para¬graph it combines fascism, nazism,jingo-ism, and lawle.ssne.ss as termsof opprobrium. This is a direct insultto government of foreign nations.The second article urges coopera¬tion with Chinese relief agencies asa means of expressing sympathy forvictims of Japanese aggression.There has been no official action bythe League of Nations or the NinePowers condemning Japan for viola¬tion of International Law. Sincere ad¬vocates of world peace may not takesides before official declaration ofJapanese guilt.However the fourth and fifth ar¬ticles contain three constructivemeasui’es for assurance of peace:—u.se of the Kellogg-Briand pact out¬lawing war, invocation of the 9 powerpact and economic cooperation as ameans of preserving peace.Any person of normal intelligencewill see:— 1. the insult to conserva¬tive groups; 2. the attempt to alien¬ate foreign govenments.Dick .\nderson.Editor,'Phe Daily Maroon:The Daily Mai’oon has stated thatits purpose in founding the PoliticalUnion has been to promote intelli¬gent discussion of political issues.The Radical Organizing Committeeof the Political Union is compelled topoint out to the campus your insin¬cerity. Yesterday morning your edi¬torial was hai'dly an example of the“intelligent discussion” you desire.The reason for the existence of theradicals, it appears, is that “theirsocial relationships are more thanusually unhappy.”If want to show the way to in¬telligent discussion we call on you torepudiate yesterday’s editorial. Ifyou object to the radical’s politics,give your arguments; but don’t or¬ganize Political Unions if all youcan do is to call names.Radical Party OrganizingCommittee.miLRnonow on/y*l—once^3.50HOWis it possible?
