The student council met in a special session Thursday night and recommended that the penalty be reconsidered by the faculty on the grounds that the punishment was thought too drastic. Asked to comment, President Milner said, "The faculty took the matter over only after the student council had declined to act. The faculty considers that the punish ment is not too drastic for the of fense, involving as it docs the vio lation of property rights." Coach Anderson declined to com ment.

C., NOVEMBER 17, 1934 TALK ON PALESTINE BY DR. E. GRANT GIVEN AT COLLEGE Visitor Is Archaeologist of Note and Professor at Haverford College, Pa. OLD VASE FOUND IN TOMB lie Shows Many Interesting Relics Se cured in Palestine and Egypt by Excavation. "Evacuations Made in Palestine of Old Canaanite civilization" was the subject of the illustrated lecture given by I)r. Elihu Grant, visitor from Ilav crford College and Archaeologist from Palestine, at Memorial Hall, Friday night, November 8. The headquarters of the excavators, shown by slides, were in the country of Sampson, of "Id Betli Shan. The Archaeologist followed the courses of the old city walls, where ruins were uncovered layer by layer. The change of period was told by the pottery, because its designs and styles change regularly with each period. A Myceaiiaean vase :!,4i(t years old. a vase made before the time of Davicl and Solomon, and a Philistine vessel made in l)avid's time, were among the interesting things shown. The excavators dug up an old tomb which was used . - 0 > years before the ClTristian Era. A type of grain, some what like Cream of Wheat, which is .".iiihi years old. was found in liie form of charcoal. Ten Egyptian lions bear ing the announcement of the wedding of Amenhatep 111 in 1400 B.C. were shown on the screen. Probably the most interesting tiling shown was a bit of Canaanite ink writ ing which was found in the ruins. Several kinds of pottery and imple ments have been found, showing the development of skill through the ages. In examining these possessions of people who lived ages before lis, one gains an insight into the customs and ways of the early age which is invalu able in the study of early man.

Roberts I'oole, as Aubrey Allington. tin- eccentric optimist, did not let bills worry him; as George Maitlatid lie was a smooth impersonator; in the person of the Reverend Ebenezer Brown, he viewed the world witll righteous pru dence and indignation. Virginia Levering gave a delightful interpretation of the young wife who wondered why the bills couldn't be paid. Louise Ward, the old maid aunt, sup plied plenty of humor by her constant "You needn't sliout: I'm not deaf." Simpson Garner, as Sprules, the but ler. and Ruth Anderson, the maid— both servants in that unusual house hold—gave their contribution to the comedy.
