THAT'S NEWS

It's a long road and the worm has turned. With youth, discontent is frequently the first step toward progress, and occasionally dissatisfaction has led to some rather original methods of melioration. A young man who has evidently experienced a protracted period of unemployment offered yesterday morning in the advertising section of a New York paper "a chance for an employer". The announcement suggests that a personable young male of twenty-one, enjoying excellent health, and a prepossessing appearance, with an education and a liberal share of gray matter, will consider legibly written offers of less than 500 words from prospective employers. A further specification states that these offers must be written on only one side of the paper, and, of course, it should be understood that neatness is a decided asset. Also, it is more than subtly hinted that here is an unrivaled opportunity for some progressive firm to secure a valuable addition to its personnel.

As completely unorthodox as this device may seem, it is not entirely without precedent. There comes to mind the Freshman of a neighboring institution who towards the end of rushing season invited brothers of a prominent fraternity en masse to dinner; and memory still lingers of the Cantabridgian who said "Hello" to Max Keezer first. However, it should be noted in the interest of truth that in both instances nothing ever came of it.
