sors and students alike may feel'
complete assurance in their class-
rooms that they are among kindred,
minds, with no outsiders to disturb
their academic poise.
Supplementing the foregoing, are
the further betterments of the stu-
dent body's morale which come of
precluding those unequipped with
i the proper identifification cards
from the privileges of the univer-

books as well. Thus only students
possessing the proper passport may,
have an entree to the facilities of
the University, and that unimpeded

indispensible to "Twelfth Night" as
this period. Character will out;
one can no more hide George Hayes
under the motley than Toby in an
inkwell. His whimsical pathos
sweeps the play with a sweet breath
of sprightly gaiety. Feste the fool

Key Town selling
t
-a new telephone idea
Commercial development men of the Bell
System have originated a new use of the
telephone which is proving economical and
efficient for modern salesmanship. From
importanftcentral towns the salesman makes
periodic visits to customers and prospects
by telephioe.
TO conceive thisidea, to make-it practical
by stlcctin gKey Towns on a basis of most
advantageous rates to surrounding points,
and to sell it as a business practice-all this
illustrates how telephone service is as open as
commodity to constructive imagination.
Key Town selling is one of many idica-

come;for more and more telephone service.
