Many undergraduates, particularly seniors, are beginning to wonder if the tide in their affairs is not already lapping at their feet. As the sands of college life disappear they will see one beacon by which to set their course--the Alumni Placement Office. Since 1935 the Office has been under the official aegis of the College, since 1936 the branch at the Harvard Club in New York has been similarly organized. Harvard has definitely assumed a measure of responsibility for its graduates, and particularly for those negotiating the thorny way from college to career...
Highly entertaining and occasionally hilarious, this is the first movie at the U. T. in weeks that clicks. The stale parts of the plot disappear under a thick layer of Oakieisms spiced with his fascinating drumming and pantomine by Auer. Two scenes made the critic laugh so hard that the rain shook off his hat down his neck. One is the Greek dance by the villainness on shoes whose soles Lily Pons has carefully soaped. A series of attempts by the immigration officers to find the French girl on the persons of "McLean's Wildcats" caused the second waterfall. Amid...
...Kolb tapers off a patient, he does so rapidly. "Cold turkey" produces better results. By this method, the patient is suddenly and completely deprived of drugs. He becomes irritable and restless. He cannot sleep. He sneezes and sweats, suffers diarrhea. He may collapse. Most of these "abstinence phenomena" disappear in three days. As. they wane, the patient gets sedative drugs (other than opiates), soothing baths and electric lamp treatments. In two weeks for the most responsive addicts, two months for the most refractory, the patients are discharged from the infirmary, to work and play under unobtrusive supervision. They grow...
...come in a half-dozen makes (TIME, March 25, 1935). In general they are doughnut-shaped loops sticking through the fuselage. By turning the loop and listening, the pilot can learn the direction of any radio station, for when the loop faces directly toward the station the signals disappear. A pilot can get bearings on, two separate radio stations, thus triangulate his position. But the ordinary direction-finder, like all exposed antennae, is subject to ice conditions or rain-static. The latter results from minute particles of electricity stored in rain drops which hit the antennae. This may have been...
...procession wound its way amid Dutch ohs and ahs at the brilliant cavalcade. Then, after luncheon at the Royal Palace, the Prince Consort & Crown Princess managed the impossible. With the connivance of the world press, the newlyweds, ostensibly bound for Innsbruck, boarded a train at The Hague and entirely disappeared. Even the New York Times, ordinarily intolerant of mysteries, headlined benignly, "JULIANA AND PRINCE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR...
