TOWN LAW PUT TO TEST

But the Hanover anti-handbill ordinance was put to an interesting test before Professor Richardson had an opportunity to express his opinion. Vic Schneider '41, Assistant Publicity Manager of The Players, was stopped from distributing handbills reading "Repent—the time is at hand." Several townfolk saw him pasting the small stickers on walls and, after reading the message on them, decided that he must be a fanatic, reporting him to Chief Hallisey. It took the full strength of The Players to convince the Chief that "Repent—the time is at hand" referred only to the play "Twentieth Century" which was to be given over the Carnival week-end. Schneider was set at large on the condition that he would not repeat his crime. Hanover publicity men cannot be safe until the ordinance has been revamped in such a way as to be constitutional and yet achieve the purpose of keeping the streets from becoming littered with paper.

But the tension of examinations and the excitement of carnival are now weeks in the rear and in college things have a way of becoming old and forgotten at an early age. Now Dartmouth settles down to wait for Spring. Second semester examinations are a long way off and lie deep in the shadow of Green Key. Seniors are beginning to think in terms of jobs, cane carving, and comprehensives. Dartmouth is returning to normalcy.
