Instead, dredge this out to the
level of the creek bed, place dam

height the lay Of the land would

there are five acres or more in the

This would be a wonderful addi-
ton TO Christian park for boating

These dams should be provided with

TT SEEMS TO ME By HF 9Ro42S

DARTMOUTH is distraught
~ about local problem which
has much larger implications. Up
in the New Hampshire college they
are discussing chaperons.
The winter carnival, Hanover's big
social event, is approaching, and the
college newspaper thinks the rule
about chaperons should be changed.
To an outsider, the existing regu-
lation seems severe. The authorities
require that no less than three
chaperons shall be present in each
fraternity house to which girl
guests are invited.
Surely that is lot Of chaperons.
Three almost constitutes a back
field. The Big Green team itself
only employs one safety man, eX-
cept when passes are expected.
But it isn't the number alone
against which the collegians COM
plain. Undergraduates are facing
the fact that nobody wants to be a
chaperon any more.
Many of u.s." says the Dart
mouth daily paper, ARE unwilling
to ask our mothers, or any one we
respect, to bear the brunt of uni
versal disregard and even the shade
of contempt which can not but arise
from the office of chaperon, as it
exists at present"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-02-04

necessary number of chaperons
curtailed to one, and that lone
proctor of proprieties be hired for
the occasion.
Nothing is said as to whether
she would be paid a fiat sum or re-
ceive a bounty for each scalp.
1t seems to me that it is a mis-
take to assume that the work must
be done by women. A small nose
gay of prohibition agents might
cope with the entire problem. And
the marines, if landed, should be
expected to get the situation i'll
hand.
It is not even fantastic to assume
that the policing of the winter
carnival could be one-man job, if
only the proper individual were OBJ
tainable.
Canon Chase, for instance, could
spoil as much sport as dozen az
erage. chaperons. And Smith
Wildman Brookhart need only fol-
low his nose to take the joy out Of
even such an extensive party.

Just a Pest

A COLLEGE chaperon, it ap-
IA pears, is supposed to act as a
sort of unpaid policewoman. She
must snoop about among the guests
in order to discourage gin and jinks.
1t is her function to cast her
shadow on the moon, and stymie
couples who seek it in solitude.
According to tradition, she should
know the time each guest retires,
and just where.
Indeed, the chaperon must be-
have throughout the course of the
festivities as if civic virtue were her
father and Mrs. Grundy her mother.
She is expected to exercise such
supervision that when the carnival
is ended there will be nothing for
Walter Winchell to write about in
his Monday column.
Naturally, no Dartmouth man
wants to burden his mother with
such responsibilities. He wouldn't
even wish it on his aunts.
Aside from the long hours and
the hard work. there is no glow of
comfort in the task. Nobody loves
a chaperon. Not even the chap
eron herself.
The woman who goes to Hanover
as a chaperon says to herself and
to her friends, IT have become a
safe person I am competent to
guard other people because nobody
needs to guard me. Here on the
shelf I am safe and forlorn.''

\ S q. resnlt OF these studies.

a S a result of these studies, the
"A crystal is seen to assume q
new role of Importance in the uni
verse.
Physicists have shown that the
fundamental particles Of matter are
the electrons. These combine to
form atoms.
There are ninety two kinds OF
atoms. one kind composing each OF
the ninety-tWo chemical elements
These atoms differ from each other
by the number of electrons which
they contain.
Atoms, in their turn, combine to
form the molecules of the chemical
compounds. To this tabulation, the
fact must be added that in the
case of solids, molecules combine to
form crystals.
For example, quartz is composed
of two chemical elements, silicon
and oxygen. The atoms of silicon
and oxygen are united chemically
into molecules of Silican dioxide.
But a molecule of silicon dioxide
does not exhibit the properties of
quartz. These properties belong TO
unit crystal which is composed OF
three molecules.
A crystal of quartz is merely 8
continuous repetition of this unit
pattern.
