A number of schools arrange to hold a big dance the night previous to a home football game, thereby drawing a portion of their crowd from returning alumni and visi- torn. A more important point, however, is that this would lighten somewhat the second semdster social program. This year's fcur Major dances occurred in a space of less than three. months. ?loving one dance to the first semester would allow an interval of a month between each of the remaining three Unfortunately, a mere rearrangement of dates, while it. may help, cannot be expected to be a sover eign solution to the problem of dance deficits. The loss of $168.14 which Junior Pim sustanied this year, for instance, cannot be attributed to the fact that it followed too closely after the other dances. Jun ior Pram has been the last dance of the season for a number of years and has practically always turned in n profit. In fact, in the three years 1933, 1934, and 1935 the Prom turned in a total profit of over three thousand dollars, last year being the best with a $l,- 691.78 profit. In fact, this year's Junioi Prom again conclusively demonstrates the obvious, but apparently not always re garded, fact that the success of a dance here depends almost entirely upon the reputation of the Orchestra that plays for it. During the past five years here the orchestras which have made money have included Casa Loma (twice), Ben Bernie, Hal Kemp, Freddie Martin, Kay Kyser, and Joe Sanders. All of these are bands with national reputations and the profit which they made was, almost without exception, in direct proportion to their excellence. On the other hand such outfits as Tal Henry, Bert Lowe, Claude Hopkins (who played here prior to his gaining a fair reputation through a spot at the Cotton Club), andJrving Aaronson have failed to draw crowds and their engagements have meant the loss of money. To:their liSt is now added Ted Fie-Rito, a band with a fair reputation, but certainly not as good as previous Junior Prein orchestras. .. • . '‘,. At the time Fin-Rita was signed, it was stated that his was the only orchestra available at that date. Yet in the' week before Easter vacation a telegram was re ceived here which stated that Ray Noble, whose - band is probably one of the two or three best in the country, was available for engagements in this section on May 1; and at a price one hundred dollars less than Fin- Rito's. As early as February, it was known here that Noble would be on tour at the time of Junior Prom, yet apparently no effort *as made to sign him for the dance. A change in the dates for major dances should help solve a part of the financial problem, but students will continue to patronize a good orchestra and stay away from one which they think is bad, no matter when the dance is held. ARE YOU SURE? It is probably in the inevitable order of things that many of the applications for N. Y. A. jobs for next year will come from students who are quite capable of meeting their college expenses, but who would like to have a job to give them some extra money in order that they can have a ear or join a fraternity. Most of them probably do not think such action selfish, yet no other interpretation can be placed upon it. There are hundreds of students here who must economize every cent in order to get through school and the number who really need money is greater than those who can be given N. Y. A. employment. Every job, therefore, that is given to some student who doesn't need it, simply means that someone else will be forced to skimp a little more or else drop out of school. Remember that before you apply for a job, if you think you can make it next tear without N. Y. A. as sistance, give someone else a chance.

When the new equipment is placed in operation, it wi:l mark the comple tion of a construction and installation program that-has been in progress for over eight months. As high as 68 persons were employed at one time on the project. It has been continuing t l steadily since last December, except for a few months, when all available telephone men from this section were placed on duty in flood-stricken areas of the state. Considerable' time is required for an installation job of this nature be cause. of the complicated equipment used. The apparatus here has 645 strl.tching mechanisms, 1,190 lines and 1,890 terminals. Then all have to be tested before they are placed in tine tomorrow night.

Practically every student here is a telephone user. During the day, while students are in classes, the amount of calls made was relatively few as compared with those at other times of the day. Busy times for opera-, tions were during the noon hour and especially at 4 o'clock in the after noon. With the dial system, the amount of calls made has no effect on the efficiency of the service, save that telephone users will find more trouble with busy lines during these hours People wishing to call a party at the College will dial 711. This will give them the College operator; who in turn will call the requested party. Those at the College desiring to call a party in town will give the College operator the number, and she will dial it. .CINEMANIA Madeleine Carroll, lovely star of the success "The 39 Steps," teams together with George Brent in • Ar thur Somers Roche's famous Collier's mystery novel, "The Case Against Mrs. Ames" in the last showing at the Cathaum today.
