Says Modern Girl
Will Yet Blush
For "Petting Parties"

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 30-(AP)
President Mary E. Woolley of
Mount Holyoke College, speaking
here today, said that the modern girl
who takes part in "petting parties
will blush in her very soul some day
when she looks back over her free
dom and behavior, her loss of fine
reserve and of genuine modesty. The
home. Miss Woolley said. should be
the fun center and the young folks
should not have to seek elsewhere
for their pleasure.
Speaking of the nervous strain un-
der which too many girls live. Miss
Woolley said:
Yves, 1t is overwork, but not as a
rule overwork in studies. The girl of
today follows in the footsteps of her
elders in trying to do too many
things. The amusements of our
young people are more elaborate,
more numerous, involving later hours
and a greater drain upon the nerves.
The women of the colleges of today
in general dread the aftermath of the
short vacation when the college in
Urinary Is too small to accommodate
the daughters who are recovering
from the two weeks rest at home.
The frequent week ends tend to-
ward the same result and parents
wonder why college will SO overwork
their girls. When girl comes to the
close of her year over-taxed, the re-
sponsibility nine times out of ten
should be shouldered by the extra
curricula activities"

Pope May End His
Voluntary Exile
During Coming Year

Rome, Nov. 30.-(AP)-The yolun-
tary Imprisonment of the popes in
the Vatican, begun in 1870 after the
overthrow of the temporal power by
the establishment of united Italy,
may be ended next year with a per-
sonal visit by Plus XI to A ssisi to
preside at the inaugura ton of the
new Franciscan monastery on the
seventh centenary of the death of ST.
Francis of Assist.
This possibility is advanced by the
Tribuna as based on authentic infor-
nation and 1t is egarded both in gov
ernmental and church circles AS
realizable, unlike a number of SINH
lar predictions made during the last
two decades.
1t is recalled that Plus X twice in

These strained relation now have
disappeared and close observers CT

have been of the opinion that this
pontificate was the one historically

situation which had it's inception in
1870.
Observers claim that historical
justification for the voluntary seclu-

has completely disappeared during

New York. Nov. 30.-(AP)-Knute

most prominent football coaches in the
country, were guests of honor tonight
art dinner given by local newe syn
dictate to an alkAmerican eleven.
Refusing to be interviewed directly
on questions relating to football. the
-four coachmen" submitted to a cross
examination by newspapermen present
in the form of QUESTIONABLE, each
scribe allowed one question to each
coach. Questions relating to every
phase OF the college game were show
cred on them.
Glen Warner, former Carlisle Indian
and Pittsburgh mentor and present
Stanford coach, was asked by several
of the newspapermen to compare Jim
Thorpe and Ernie Nevers, Stanfords
great fullback.

Nevers and ] have seen Willie Heston

Tad" Jones was asked several en-
barrassing questions relative to Yale's
poor showing toward the latter part of
the season. One question asked him

was asked to furnish the names and
addresses of four other horScmen.
Rockne said he would like to meet
quietly any man who could furnish
this information.
"Do you t.linl, professional football
will have bad influence on the inter
collegiate game?"
Rocixnc answered this quest on ly
saving that he believed the only bal
influence profession football could
have on the college game would be to
have the promoters of the game at
tract college players from their
schools before they have completed
their education.
Fielding Yost, coach of the western
conference championship Michigan
team, told an amazing story about
Benny Friedman. quarterback of the
Wolverine team.
Friedman was the leading scorer
of the western conference but not once
inside of an opponents 25-yard line
did Friedman call his own signal. All
of his scores were made on kicks or
long runs from punts or Bcrimmage

TURN DOWN PLAN

nor states that lie is asking the
operators ito repeat the Jackson
vile mistake of endeavoring to
maintain high prices to pay high
wages through the simple formula
of writing these terms into a con-
tract"
IAN arrangement involving agree
ment on prices is clearly illegal" the
operators said, and added that
prices are controlled by the law
OF supply and demand and cannot be
maintained at artificial levels by ar
bitrary agreement"
TIL operators, referring to the
limited check-off suggested by the
governor, characterized this system
of deducting union dues from the
wages of the men as ''repugnant to
reason and justice and barrier
rather than an aid to sound indus
trial relations" In practice, they
stated, the syste mwould result in
coercion and intimidation and would
not eliminate strikes.
Referring to Mr.. Pinchot's part in
bringing an end to the strike in 1928,
the operators stated they were pro-
ceeding with caution because of the
puDIlC lulcTcSI III lH0 COntIONCloy
and because of the unwarranted in
crease imposed on the industry
through your mediation two years
ago."
The operators then outlined their
proposal made to Mr.. Lewis two
weeks ago, according to the letter,
and rejected by him. 1t provided for
immediate resumption of work and
negotiations, a Ave year contract and
arbitration of any matters in dispute
and not disposed of within thirty
days after the resumption of nego>
tiations. The arbiters were to have
been two operators. tw omine work
ers and three persons appointed by
the chief justice of the United States
Supreme court, Chief Justice of the
PENNSYLVANIA supreme court end the
presiding judge of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals of Phila-
delphia. Under this plan, either side
would have had the right to srecon-
slider terms of the contract not often
er than once every year.
The letter of the operators was
signed by William w. Inglis, as
chairman of the anthracite opera
tors negotiating committee.
