Phoney Creature
Out-Tuts King
"Tat" On Campus
A new animal has come to Rice. It
is the famous prehistoric creature, the
dinosaur. The students call the ani-
mal Dina for short. The creature has
already become a fad among the Rice
students, and it is rumored that the
unearthing of this animal will be-
come as famous and have as much in-
fluence over the fashions as did king
"Tut" h)mself.
The discovery of the animal was due
to the labor and Ingenuity of Frances
May Smith and Rachel Waples. Miss
Beatrice Harrison is helping to spread
abroad the news of the discovery.
Thousands of dinosaurs will come to
life as soon as the owners realize that
they have one—two In fact—and as
soon as people realize what great pow-
er lies in their own hands.
For the prehistoric animal consists
merely of the fingers of your hand.
The thumb, firat, fourth and fifth fing-
ers from the legs. <*nd the third or
middle finger can project as the beadi
The original and long practiced dino-
saurs of Frances May Smith and
Rachel Waplea have become skillful in
performing many tricks; however, It
takes only a slight training before a
dinosaur can get on his feet. Special
coaching of these animals will be held
in the sallyport at all hours.
ARCHI ARTS TO DANCE
At a meeting of the Archi-Arts So-
ciety held Thursday afternoon In the
Architectural Library, it was definitely
decided that each class of architects
should wear a different colored smock.
Another subject that came up for
discussion was the date of the annual
Archi-Arts ball, the premier social and
artistic event of the year.
The ball this year will be held within
a few days of February 21.
SHOTWELL'S REPRESENTATIVE SAYS:
I saw of recent football games at Princeton and New
Haven there it little or no change in the color of uni-
versity clothing compared with that of last spring.
Light colors predominate this fall as they did last
spring.

Carl Taylor
i blond young
named
Taylor, just gradu-
ating in clectrical
engineering at the
University of North
Carolina, was ad-
vised by a conscien-
tioiis>protessor. The
professor's conviction was based on quiz
papers and was amply justified. But the
young man ^w as not discouraged} he had
other hopes, he said. Today—ten years
later—he occupies a peculiarly important
position with the Westinghouse Company.
Before Carl Taylor had completed his
apprenticeship with Westinghouse he began
to sell apparatus to utility-customers. He
had previously sold clothing in college.
He had selected an electrical engineering
course because he believed the industry
promising for men of selling interests.
A 4lltfVW
flT 1 hr question is asked: Where do tiling men get h v thev
enter a large industrial organizationF Hate they oppor-
tunity to exercise ere a five talents? Or are they farced into narrate
grooves?
This series of advertisements throws light or. these question. Each
advertisement takes up the record of a college man who came to
li'cstinghouse within the last ten years, immediately after graduation.
manager of the industrial division of the
Pittsburgh Sales Office—the largest divi-
sion of the Westinghouse Company in the
entire country. Today he has a sales
organization of sixty-five men.
To get the customer's point of view—
to go the limit to anticipate his wants and
keep him satisfied—this is the Westing-
house sales policy. It is the policy of all
enlightened industrial organizations. Men
who can exemplify it in their personal
careers need have no question about their
futures.
His first actual
order—the elec-
trification of a
scrap yard—was
awarded to him
at a higher price
than that asked
by any other
bidder because
he had "lived with" the job and given
all the service this implies.
Some months later the Company was
surprised at a request from him for an in-
definite leave of absence. He wanted to
take a job with a manufacturer of steel mill
machinery, in order bftter to understand
the problems of such users of electrical
equipment. His leave lasted two years.
He returned from the superintendence of
a well-known plant—returned at a lower
salary than the superintendqnev had paid
him. But within three years he was
