FACULTY PLAYSENIORS IN SOCCOR.Score Tied, 1 to 1.

Saturday, November 18th, saw thelargest nurn'ber of spectators on thesoccer field this fall. to witness thecrowning event of the fall season in5PO]'t8, the p'ecuttv-Bentor soccer game.And it was Indeed the crowning eventin more than one way! The Seniorteam was first to appear on the field,carried in wheelbarrows and othervehicles, and accompanied by a crewof Red Cross nurses to stand 'by incase of casualties. Then followed aprocession of Freshmen and Juniors.Six high-spirited horses lee} the way,r-Idden by six girls, who were clad inflowing white mantles and nead-uress,marked with large red "K's." a start-ling .group from the KU-KLUX-KLANof old. Next in llne came a 'band ofJubilee singers gaily kazzoing, "Forthey're the C. C. Faculty. And they'rethe ones who knovv l" Following thesecame tour stretcher- bearer-s. the Doc-tor and his Emer-gency Bicycle Ambu-lance, and two nurses, well prepared for-any emergency. Last of all. but 'by nomeans least, came the Faculty team,ensconced in a luxurious wagon, gailydecorated with red, white. buff andblue streamers, and drawn 'by twonoble steeds of chestnut hue. The pro-cession marched (and galloped) on tothe field, amid cheers and songs fromall sides, and each side gaily took pos-session of one of the go-als. The KU-KLUX-KLAN gallo!1ed in pretty for-mation around the field a few times,and then everyone settled down forthe mDre serious work of the afternoon.After much confusion and desperate

last-minute Q.uestions by some of theFaculty as to what 1:0 do if the ballcame their way, Referee Slayter man-aged to get both teams on the ,field,and ready to play. The line-up wasas follows: .Seniors, Faculty.

was a demonstration of how much canbe done by lIot keeping in one's posi-tion! At times jt almost resembled afull.fledged football game, especiallyin the second half when the Seniorteam succeeded in ~nally making atouchdown, and tieing the score, 1 to 1.The speed of some members of theFaculty team was unbelievable andwholly spectacular. We avow that noone could keep up with Dr. Leib orMiss Patton when once they started.During the first half, the only goal was

A. A. GIVES BANQUETFOR TEAMS.

Member-s of the Faculty and theirwtvee.. Faculty and Senior teams, otherfall teams. song and cheer leaders allattended an Athletic Association ban-quet in Thames Hall, Saturday evening,November 18th. The Faculty andSenior soccer teams occupied seats ofhonor at the tables ar-ranged in anopen rectangle before the fir-e- place.while other members of the Facultywer-e en tertained by Senior hostesses.The evening began by "the singing ofthe Coneae h~..mn, which was followedby songs and cheers from the cheeringtable as soon as everyone was seated.The tables were pret tily decorated withflowers, and at each end of the hallwere huge bowls of mammoth chrysan-themums.During the dinner-, Captain Leib,

President Marsb al l and Dr. Lawrencewere called upon to speak about thegame. Captain Leib apologized for hisstate of preoccupation during the gameand his nesttgence in not using all ofthe six substitutes. Dr'. Lawrencebrought for-th the very original sugges-tion that the distinction of 'being amember of the Faculty soccer team beput in the Colleg-e Catalogue, alongwith other important degrees. Presi-dent Marshall expressed his enjoymentof the game, and suggested that owingto the indecisive score, the tie beplayed off at another date in the nearfuture.At this time Dorothy Randle pre-

sented the silver cup to the captains ofboth teams, Dr. Leib and Lucy 'Whit-fonl arose in much embarrassment. tol'eceive the cup and recited in chorustheil' apPl'eciation and their promiseto guanl it well. Dorothy then read alist of the Faculty who have alreadywon their numerals in this renownedsport, and gave out numerals to threenew players, Miss Crosby, Dr. Law-rence and :Mr. Lambdin.

THE FRENCH PLAY.(Read this that you may un.derstand

the Play.)"The World Where One is Bored",

a modernization of MDJi~re's "Learned",Vomen", presents a fashionable Paris"literary salon", that of the Countessof C~ran, "a world in which pedantrytakes the place of science, sentiment-ality that of sentiment, preciosity. thatof refinement".The play opens at the chateau of

Ceran in the afternoon preceding a"literary soiree" which is to include:(1) Saint-Reault's presentation of a.nextract from his still unpublished bookon Hama-Ravana and the Sanskritlegends. (2) An extemporan.eous talkby "the ladies' philosopher" ProfessorBeiiac. (3) A reading of the firstwork of an unknown poet, which hasjust been accepted by the "TheatreFrancais".

RECESS REGULATIONSANNOUNCED.

'Phe attitude of the Faculty and theruling of the Administration Commit-tee as affecting absences before andafter 'I'hanksgtvmg', and bearing uponall absences before and After extendedrecesses, was brought to the attentionof the student body in a special meet-ing of the Student Government Asso-ciation, by President Marshall, all'I'uesdav, November 21st, ronowtneOonvocauon.President Marshall showed that the

policy spectncanv adopted last yearthat the College would administer theCollege calendar, is fll~mly established;that students must register in personin the office of the Regfatrru- of theCollege utter their last class preced-ing any recess, and before H statedhour- on their return,-an hour postedb~- the Rcg lstr-ru- in advance.\Vith reference to the importn uce of

faithful attendance before and afterrecesses he showed that the Commit-tee on Adrn inis tru tf on, to whom them.ctter was referr-ed l)y the Faculty,declared:

1. T'hn.t absence before a nd aftera recess is more serious thn n atother times.2. That any disposition O!' plan

of students to absent themselvesbefore and after a l'ecess is a \'io-lation o[ College spirit; and I'e-\'eals standards of honor and con-science toward College appoint-ments which are unsatisfactory.3. That for cla.rificaUon of the

policy it is desirable that the ad-ministration make plain to thestudent body that nttendance inthe two days lH"eceding the l'eces!>nnd the two days following shouldbe relatively perfect.4. That any absence in those

periods shoulcI involve a nenalty.He then showed that after careful

discussion the Committee on Adminis-tration, endowed with po\ver by theFnculty, had declared:That a deferred examination shall

be given to each student in each sub-ject from which she has been absentduring the two days preceding or thetwo days following the Thanksgivingrecess.'I'his penalty, the President showed.

is seyere, and is meant to be a de-ten'ent and a sign of the importanceof the College work, which is not to belightly ignored. He also showed thatthe rule would be administered withreason, and with fairness, and askedof the College a cordial acceptation ofthe policy, and all that it involves, asthe conviction of the maturer and ex-llel'ienced Faculty of the College.

"Doctor, I Want to Know the Worst."

So the patient sometimes pleada: andsometimes, the physician (every' manhas his tits of temporary aberration)promises to grant the requestAtceste. Atcestet wut you never re-[arm? Oronte asks for the truth, andyou speak your mind out, miserableEnemy of the People! "Oronte, thepoor sonnet scribbler? Not 'SO"

Has Arceste aright to speak in this particular In-stance, when his profound convtctlonis that our dramatic performances lackthe ~uidance of a mature mind, andthat the standard On OUl' stage hasgone steadily down ever since it hasdispensed with such a guidance?Knowledge of life is badly Jleeded bythose who aspire to dramatic under-st.anding, and where could our studentshave gained what years alone provide?Let our young fl'jends rejoice that theydo not as yet possess such insight, aninsight to be acquired at the expense ofso many qualities of their youth, butlet them remember that, in the de-velopment of civilizations as well as inthe development of men, thc dramaticphase generally comes last, because itpresupposes the kmowledge of the selfand the knowledge of others.What remedy would the doctor rec-

The reduction of thenumber of plays; the concentration ofthe effort in a desire for quality ratherthan quantity; and, a.s stated before,the cooperation or support of more ma-ture minds.An amateur play in a foreign lan-

THE NEED FOR A RADICALCHANGE.

The advent of mid-semesters hasbrought the oft-repeated but never-ending questton.c-vwbat did you get?C, high or low? Dh, I got a high one,almost a B." Unfortunately theFr-eshmen are not alone in this mat-ter, although they seem more thanusually proficient at It this year. Ifthey were the only ones, there mightbe hope of turning them from the er-ror of their ways and of teaching themthe worthlessness of mere marks, butthis pernicious comparison of markscontinues throughout the four years.Most obviously there are many who

rejoice in high marks simply becausethey are high marks, higher than someothers can or do get. It works bothways. Oddly enough some who havevery low marks feverishly catechizeeveryone they see, and conclude bysa.ying that they don't understand howthat professor marks.What. does it matter if we get C or

A, if we are getting what we wantfrom the course? And we certainlyshould want something much morevaluable than a mark. "It's in themind." 'we know what the coursemeans to us, and we know better thananyone else whether we're nuttingenough into it to get much or littlefrom it. Under the present system ofmarking we are in danger of beingunable to see the forest for the trees.In our endeavor to get respectablemarks, we are likely to fail to graspthe vital things from the courses.Pettiness and unhappiness are en-gendered, while the purpose of thecourse often remains undiscovered,and inevitably the purpose of the col-lege must also fail.'wh y can't we have two marks,

"Pass" and "Fail", as they do at manycolleges? Our numerical grades wouldbe kept in the office as a matter ofmore detailed record, but they wouldbe of no importance to us since wewould learn to care only for the in-trinsic value of the courses. '24.

Dear Edttor: It wouldn't take threeguesses. nor even two, to discover thenoisiest place on campus-!

difficult lesson. I didn't feel likestudying but duty called and I con-sidered it necessary to obey the call,As I do not live near enough to gohome between classes, I turned to theLibrary as a place of Inspiration andquietness conducive to concentratedstudy. Did I find It such? No indeed,I didn't! Nor did f observe the cut-prtts all to be of the class of '26, norof '25, nor of '24.I looked around in despair. Two

g-irla were translating something, al-most out loud; at one table the girlswer-e all having the jolliest time-oversome prtvate joke. Their laughter hadpassed the suppressed stage and wasfast reaching that of botatrous merri-ment. Other little aroups were busy-with work or mouths-and there wasone vacant chair. I settled myself Inthe one vacant chatr and prepared towork. How dumb! My fountat'n-j)enwas dry. 'While I was out tilling itwith the last thick dregs of the "inkwell" some young thing had appropri-ated the chatr and had annexed her-self to the jolly ones.At least, there was a littie extra floor

space so I parked myself on the on-posrte side of the room from the jollycrowd.By that time half the period was

gone and I had to concentrate so hardon concentrating, that my attempt toget facts was a tarce-c-. If it is said-"that's a 'good one' on her ability toconcentrate"-l take the criticism assuch, but really, isn't it just dreadfulto think that some-not all-of uscollege women, have failed to appre-ciate the fact that a Library is not arecreation ha.l l where we must needsentertain our little playmates with ourinnocent amusement?

in dealing with Rama-Ravena, he be-comes quite clear in his peroration,when he proclaims himself the onlypossible successor to Revel.BeHac, who takes for his subject the

eternal question of "love", challengesgnint -Reaul t's conclusion by pointingto himself as the sale serious candi-date to the Bevel succession.Toulonnier, the powerful secretary

general, assailed now by Satn t-Beauj t,now by Bellac, now by the dismayedcountess, gives his word to all three,and leaves each certain of victory,But fresh guests come to listen to

the reading of the tragedy: G~n~ralde Briais and Deputy Virot, whoscarcly know what a tragedy'is, a.ndare interested in nothing beyond poli-

tics. The unknown young poet provesto be an old man,The tragedy is to be read in an ad-

jacent room. The duchess, the count-ess and Roger, in view of the rendez-vous suggested in the latter, remainin the reception room to discover whoamong the ladies will develop a head-ache and seek the conservatory. Thecountess knows it will be Suzanne.The duchess thinks it will be Lucy.It is Jeanne Raymond who appears.She and her husband have arranged tomeet In the coneervatorv during thereading of the tr-agedy, for a-few min-utes' relaxation from the strain of theevening. Cross examined by theduchess, the young woman finds nobetter excuse than that she is goingto the garden because of a headache.Lucy Is next to come. She, too, hasa headache which demands fresh air,At last Suzanne appears. Madame deOeran. confirmed in her opinion, re-proaches the gf r-I, and goes so far asto mention her origin. When Roger,distressed, Jnterreres. Suzanne faceshim with passionate anger, and, in adesire to taunt him, ends by declar-ing that she has a headache. Roger,full of wrath, follows her in thegarden.

Third Act.The duchess and the countess hide

in the conservatory to watch. There,they witness the coming of Jeanneand Paul Raymond, who, believingthemselves atone, parody ever-y one inthe house except the duchess and Su-zanne. Alarmed by the creaking of adoor, the Raymonds hide, too, andoverhear the dialogue of Bellac andLucy, a dialogue which unravere forthe duchess and the countess the mys-tery of the lost tetter, and disclosesthe essential absurdity of the profes-sor and the English girl. Indeed,nothing is more ridiculous than Bel-lac's prudent declaration of love, In-valved in philosophical propositions;nothing more amazing than Lucy'sretorts, in which philosophical phrasesdisguise a growing uneasiness. Theludicrous performance Is Interruptedby Paul and Jeanne who, in their con-cealment, lose control of themselvesand, in fits of laugh ter, undertake tomimic the scene they have brought toa close. But they, too, are put toflight by the intervention of the duch-ess, who also sends the countess backto her duty as a hostess, that shealone may watch the possible comingof Suzanne looking for Roger andLucy, and or Roger looking for Su-zanne and Bella.c.Rogel" and Suzanne are soon there.

In theh- eagerness to fathom the depthof each other's treason, they both de-cide to assume the character of thesupposediy missing person. ThusRoger believes that Suzanne mistakeshim for Bellac, while Suzanne believesthat Roger takes her for Lucy.'when delusion is no longer possible,

Suzanne and Rogel' face each otherwith sadness and reproaches; then,they come to realize their errors, and,looking into their hearts, discover thedeep affection which unites them.At this point, the duchess reveals

her presence, brings about a completeunderstanding, and, when the wholecompany invades the conservatory torecover there from the last treat, sheannounces two engagements: that ofRoger and Suzanne; that of Bellacand Lucy, somewhat to the surpriseof the professor. :There is another reason for excite-

ment: the evening papers contain thenews of Revet's death. ~. ,But,Secretary General 'routonmer, who hasreceived a telegram, bitterly dtaan-points the hopes 01 the three candi-dates to the succession, by explainingthat Bevel still lives, and has beenadvanced to the rank of "Commandeurof the Legion of Honor".The duchess ends the play by laugh-

ingly scolding the -Raymonds, and bygiving Paul assurance that he willsoon becom~ "prHet",

I hear protests: "Dad-dy Long Legs," "Mary Pickford" ...No, no. not even the hair.

Sir Harry Trimblestone presented theludicrous combination of a perfectlyharmless expression such as a veryproper young woman would be proudto possess, and the manner of speechof a youthful rake strangely at-tenuated, of course, by the simplicityof' an innocent soul. Was the wag-gIing of the red velvet coattails meantto symboli",e the reckless swagger ofthe dangerous young man?

Mrs. Debrrrah was merely a declaimerand spoke not one convincing word.It was easy to understand why Cap-

tnl n Lovell turned from Mrs. Good-lake as she was presented, and the hus-band's infatuation seemed correspond-ingly unaccountable. The interpreta-tion of the part of Peter was foundedaltogether upon a false stage tradition,and not in the least upon nature. Allthrough his profoundest emotions,~,'Jark Embury, who looked eighteen,seemed to be thinking: "How' 'be-coming this coat and wig are to me!"

But, why continue? For the patientis by this time putting his fingers inhis eare, and demanding to know thebest.'what is the best that can be said?

We all heard it on every hand duringand after the performance. But Al-ceste, speaking for himself. wiLl say:

Kit Bar-niger- was a real person. Hehad little' in common with "Erotium,"so good in the Latin Play; with"Maruja,' so good in the Spanish Play,He was Kit Barniger, and, in the little"violin scene," he touched the veryessence of great comedy.

For a time, it seemed that RogerGoodlake might be a reet person alac; ,but the naturalness of the interpreterwas not sufficient to cope with thedifficulties of the part in the third andfourth acts of the play. And the ques-tion arises: Were the exterior condi-tions such as to anew Goodlake to besatisfactory to the end?

Captain George Lovell was accepta-ble, this being due, not to a study ormesterv of the character, but to in-dividual qualities inherent to the inter-ureter.

And if Atceste had had hischoice, among the Orphans he wouldhave chosen the little one at the ex-treme left. That one, ."perhaps," oughtto be adopted.

What a mean old thing that AI-ceate is! CAROLALEONIE ERNST.
