There is no division within the field, and a review of the main courses is sufficient to pass the general exam which must be taken by all concentrators at the end of Senior year. Therefore the demand for tutorial is not great except to correlate zoology and botany, but it is greater than the supply, for the tutors, though numerous, do not appear to have much time to spend on their tutees. Stier and Renn took more time in tutoring than others, and both were highly recommended. Unfortunately even the desire of the student for further independent study is dampened...
Last week, San Francisco's huge Golden Gate Bridge was one year old, and well into the red. In its first year the bridge showed an operating deficit of close to $235,000. Main reason: the Southern Pacific's auto ferries shuttle cars across the Gate at 30? per trip. The bridge toll is 50?. Last year the ferries made more than $50,000. Bridge officials have contrived a solution to their problem quite compatible with much new-style Alice in Wonderland economics. They appealed to the California Railroad Commission to force the ferries to raise their charge...
...Cody, Wyoming's Main Street, across from the Buffalo Bill Bar, stands the Cody Theatre. Mostly, the Cody sticks to single features. But last fortnight it went on a tear.

...Main idea of a cinema sales convention is to put the coming season's production program over with a bang. At one of this year's conventions the spirit of Hollywood enterprise was neatly summed up by firing tommy guns loaded with blanks. At other conventions, this year's plans for some 500 feature pictures, to cost some $150,000,000, were introduced with less noise, no less ballyhoo. By last week salesmen were visiting the nation's 16,558 exhibitors, talking up next season's shows. Under the block-booking blind-selling system...
Last week U. S. readers had a chance to see what sort of material offends London journalists when To beg I am ashamed was brought out with no pre-publication onslaughts. Their main reaction was likely to be one of surprise that so conventional a story could cause so much fuss. The work of a 26-year-old prostitute who writes under a pseudonym, it is a record of a drab and distressing life, makes prostitution attractive to nobody. Its author seems intelligent, unsentimental but strangely apathetic, gives the impression that she could have escaped her environment but stayed...
