Every rushing party given was a success and the sjiirit with wiiicli the girls cooperated with their respective chairmen and committees goes to prove what splendid Hjtirit is present in the Drexel sorority life. After the last rushing j)arty held on February sixth, the girls prepared themselves for the silence jieriod which took place from Kunday morning, February sev- enth, until Tuesday morning follow- ing. The neutral party, Mr. Williams, who very kindly consented to handle the checking of" bids again this year, ])resonted the names of the girls to a representative of each sorority, Tues- day morning at eight forty-five, and the re])resentatives in turn extended invitations to join their sisterhood to tliose girls who had chosen their re- spective tiororities. Alpha Sigma Alpha welcomed six- teen girls; Pi Sigma Gamma have three girls; Sigma Sigma Sigma re- ceived twenty girls and Delta Sigma Epsilon bids eleven. The following girls have been affili- ated with the respective sororities: Alpha Sigma Alpha: Helen Albert, Helen Buck, Betty Campbell, Joan Coffman, Elva Conner, Melita Curry, Mary Dries, Jean English, Janet Det- wiler, Betty Grigg, Kuth llerrman, Adelaide Mason, Betty Hose, Joyce Saulsburv, Bettv Towner, Sybil Weller.

Noted Member of Bar to Speak to Rouge and Robe Mrs. Carson Speaks on Conversion of Novel to Dramatics; Well Qualified on this Subject Mrs. W. J. Carson, a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar, will be the guest speaker at the next meet- ing of the Rouge and Robe, to 1)0 held on Tuesday, February 1(5, in the Art Gallery at 7:3(1 p. m. Mrs. Carson is a graduate of the Yale Law School and is a member of the Connecticut Bar. She will talk on “The Novel Changed Into Drama,” and will use the lilm version of “The Good Earth” as illustrative material. Mrs. Carson made a special trip to New York in order to see this picture to obtain material for her talk. She has been particularly interested in the making of novels into drama and in human relationships and the light that the novel throws upon them in the Held of law. She has taken graduate work at the University of Pennsyl- vania along this line. ELDON TO DELIVER SPEECH A special lunclieon meeting of the Key and Triangle, Drexel honorary scholastic society for Women, is sched- uled to be held on Wednesday, March 3, in the Women’s Lounge. The fea- ture of the meeting will be a speech by Dr. Carl W. Eldon, head of the Department of History, who will talk on “Current Events in Europe.” Lois Young, the president of Key and Tri- unghs lias sent invitations to attend this meeting to Miss (Jraee (iodfrey, Dean of the School of Home l'>onom- ics; Miss Frances MacIntyre, Itegis- trur; Mr. W. N. McMullan, Associate Professor of Finance; and Miss Dor- othy Hons, Instructor iji Secretarial Btudies. Flood Relief According to a rej)ort sent to the TRI.\N(iI.E from the Comt)- troller's office, the Drexel Insti- tute faculty and .students have given generously to the Red Cross Middle West Flood Relief Fund. Collections were taken up from the faculty and students last week. Several girl volun- teers heii)ed greatly by aiding in the solicitation of these funds. A general contribution was also taken up at the Women's Dor- mitory. The amounts contributed by the several groups for flood relief are as follows: Faculty •f!>7.n(l, Dormitory .'f9.3n, and from the general student body .t.'54.f)4; a grand total of Jfl41.no. The money has already been turned over to the Red Cross. Further contril)utions are wel- come and should be sent direct- ly to the Red Cross. The following was sent to Drexel students and faculty re- cently, “The Southeastern Penn- sylvania Chapter, American Red Cro.ss, gratefully acknowledges receipt of your contribution to the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund. Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr., Chairman, S.E. Penna. Chap., American Red Cross.” Debaters Argue On Early Classes Pros and Cons of Subject Defended by Interested Students at Last Meeting The Debating (Mub of Drexel started something on Thursday eve- ning, January 28, when they held an Inter-Club debate. The center of dis- pute was whether classes at Drexel should start at eight in the morning during football season. Barbara Weiss and Tom Polites vigorously de- fended the proposed set-up, while Everett Checket and and John Havi- land just as vigorously aimed verbal missiles at its weakest points. The affirmative said this: (1) Foot- ball practice would start an hour earlier in the afternoon, thus shorten- ing the time spent in practice under floodlights; (2) girls’ athletics would benefit; (3) students would see more of the sun, therefore benefiting their health; (4) the extra hour in the afternoon would help some get ac- ([uainted with the library and others with the one leaning over the opposite rail; (o) students would have an ex- tra hour in the afternoon in which to earn money; ((>) commuters could attend social events at Drexel. The negative said this: (1) Stu- dents will have to get up too early to get to school; (2) having to get u)) so early they will be groggy the rest of the day (it was suggested that this statement would come nearer to the truth if the word “groggy” was re- placed with “groggier”); (3) profes- sors also must be considered (no im- provement was suggested for this statement); (4) freslimen, having to be at school at eight o’clock, would flunk out without looking further for an alibi, thus endangering the future of Drexel; (o) why should football be favored; ((i) it would cost ^•'ILOO u day more to start at eight o'clock in the morning or .fDCS.lH) a year— enough to ])ut three people through school a year. A vote given by the audience dis- closetl that although they hoped that no one would do any more than talk about this particular idea, they conceded that the affirmative side gave the best arguments, and that Bobby Weiss did the best arguing. Debates always seem to leave one high and dry with plenty to say but no one to say it to. Not so this time; after the last rebuttal, everybody re- butted. Plans were made for the next meet- ing which will be held at the Lodge on the evening of February 11. Some- where around seven o’clock another thought, word, or deed will be placed before the jury with speeches for and against it, and as many judges as there are shadowy figures grouped around the firejdace will decide the sentence. Welch Chosen Judge For Singing Contest Mr. Edgar Milton Welch has been chosen as one of the judges to select the best singer in a contest sponsored by the Eastern Conference of Col- leges. Mr. Welch, director of the Glee Clubs, had been doing quite a bit of extra-curricular activity. Besides pre- paring the opera “The Marriage of Nanette” for presentation in the spring term, he has beeji giving lec- tures to various intellectual and mu- sical groups in and around Philadel- phia. He has spoken at West ^Chester Normal and is listed to speak at Wil- mington, Delaware, before a session of teachers from all over the state, and in various parts of New Jersey. In the spring he is going to Buffalo, N. V. All these lectures are »)n the sub- ject of class vocal instruction. Gold Key Sponsors Dance After Game With F. & M. The first dance sponsored by the Gold Key Society w. ts held last Satur- day night in the men’s gym after the Franklin and Marshall game. The affair was a great success both finan- cially and socially. The music was supplied by a public address .system. The substitutions were announced over this system and there was much favorable comment, both from Franklin and Marshall and from Drexel rooters. “If there is enough demand for this form of enter- tainment, there may be another after the Albright game,” said Raymond Barley who wa.s in charge of making the arrangements. Earl Lamborn and Jack Kelley assisted Barley in his job. To Form New Alumni Clubs Miss Worrell to Be Sponsor; Present Clubs Announce Their Future Programs An interesting development of the Alumni Association is the formation of Drexel Alumni clubs throughout the county. The Alumni Secretary, Miss Worrell, encourages the forma- tion of such clubs wherever there are five or more alumni living near each other, but too far distant to attend meetings held by the Association or by other local cluV>s. In Pennsylvania, there is the larg- est club known as the Drexel (’lub of Philadelphia and includes the counties of Delaware, ^lontgoniery and Phila- delphia in Pennsylvania, and (’aniden C'ounty, Now Jersey. Scattered through Pennsylvania there are the following clubs: Anthracite, Lacka- wanna 'County, Lancaster County, Pittsburgh, Reatling, Southern Penn- sylvani.n in Harrisburg, West Branch Valley and Wyoming Valley. In New Jersey there are the Cape May County, Haddonfield and Trenton Clubs. In other states, there are clubs in Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Con- necticut, Denver, Detroit, Eastern Shore of Maryland, Midwest in Chi- cago, New York, Virginia and Wash- ington, D. C. There are some clubs even so far away as California, where there are clubs in San Diego, San Francisco and Southern California. The New York club annual dinner was held Thursday of this week. The Lackawanna County Club is having a Valentine I’arty on February 13, and the Trenton Club meets at the Ilotel Hildebrecht on February 18. The Midwest Club meets April 3, and on the same evening the Philadelphia club entertains the Seniors. Pbilco Engineer Addresses Group Of Commercials At the regular monthly meeting of the Drexel Society of Commercial En- gineers on February 4tli Mr. Peltz of the Pbilco Radio Corporation was guest sjieaker. This lecture was an- other in the series which the society has plannetl for its meetings through- out the year. *Mr. Peltz, the assistant industrial engineer of the Philco Company, gave a very interesting and valuable talk on industrial engineering, pointing out the functions of the planning and jirocessing departments of a large plant. He fully exjilained the details of planning, making time studies, and processing of goods. Following his intensely interesting talk he started an oi>en forum on informal (juestions for the thirty commercial engineers present. The students entered into the lively discussion and benefited greatly from it. The Commercial Engineers’ Society is comparatively new at Drexel, hav- ing been organized only last spring by a group of interested students. Since it drew up its constitution it has enlisted over twenty members and has elected the following as officers: Norman G. Schafer, jjresident Kenneth K. Wignall, vice-president Ralph Owens, treasurer Sidney Daroff, recording secretary John Carrigan, corresponding secretary. Mr. F. G. Seulberger, of the Drexel Institute Cooperative Department, has been acting as adviser and counselor to this newly organized grou|>. The Society has petitioned the Student (’ouncil for a charter and expects to receive it in a few weeks. The group meets on the first Thursday of every mouth from October to May at eight p. m. in either the Men’s Union or the Art Gallery. The purpose of the society is to ac(iuaint itself with the problems of the engineering field, and to work in cooperation with tliis field. Well- known authorities in the field of com- mercial engineering have been booked for topic talks throughout the year. The next regular meeting will bo held on March fourth at the same time. Single Copies, Five Cents Anny Rutz to Give Lecture on Passion Play Portrayer of Virgin Mary to Tell of Presentation of German Pageant of Life of Christ; Lectures Well Re- ceived Through Country Assembly Feature As a feature for next Wednesday’s assembly, Drexel will have as guest speaker a young lady who bears an intimate connection with what has been called the greatest dramatic pro- duction of the ages, the Passion Play of Oberammergau — Fraulein Anny Rutz, twice portrayer of the role of the Virgin Mary. Miss Rutz’s lectures in this country have been unique and well received. Critics recount how in fluent English the attractive young performer pre- sents a view of her little Bavarian town in a delightfully intimate way, speaking of its people and of the meaning of its great play, communi- cating to her audience the very spirit which characterizes a performance that has been offered i)eriodically from 1034 to the i»resent day. Oberammergau is a village devoted sincerely to its production. Every tenth year some seven hundred par- ticipants, all villagers, offer to the people of their native Germany and of the world a pageant for whicli they have religiously prepared themselves. The players train their hair and their beards and study to assume the general appearance of the characters in this story of the last few days of Christ upon the earth. It was in 1(533 that the inhabitants created the play, an expression of their gratitude upon the cessation of the scourge of the Black Death with which the vil- lage had been stricken. Revising the text slightly for each new perfor- mance, the villagers jiresent their day- long drama to the accompaniment of an orchestra of fifty members and a chorus of almost equal size. The spirit of the play must thoroughly pervade the little village of Oberammergau— the walls of many of the houA's bear frescoes, rej)roductions of famous Biblical nuiSt erpieces. In Miss Rutz an audience finds a modern young woman of attractive personality, presenting a message on one of the world’s oldest and most interesting dramatic performances. She comes as a descendant of one of the founders of the play, the first “Christus”, likewise of the composer of the music which accompanies the drama, Rochus Dedler, a conteni])orary of -Mozart and Hayden. Miss Rutz’s role of Mary is called distinguished, her lecture, thrilling.

Fifty Couples Attended Junior Party at Lodge Over fifty couples marked the at- tendance of the Junior Class Party held at Drexel Lodge, Saturday night, February (i. Music for the annual party was fur- nished by Benny Goodman and other nationally famous dance bands over the Lodge radio. Refreshments of doughnuts and cider were furnished throughout the evening. A novel Lucky Number Dance was won by Bob Ramey and the “better- half” whom he escorted to the social. Acting President Eichna, assisted by a committee compo.sed of William Gitler, Thomas Flannigan, Mowbray and C. R. Smith furnished a well- planned evening of amusement and enjoyment to the Juniors who attend- ed the party. Library School Conference Host Dean Law Arranges De- tails; Faculty to Be Speak- ers; in Double Session Here Once more the Picture Gallery of Drexel will be the scene of the annual meeting of the librarians of the Phila- delphia district. Drexel’s School of Library Science will bo the host at this meeting, which is scheduled for February 18. The ]>urpose of this con- ference is to discuss the problems con- fronted by the small library. Dean Law has arranged the program which will undoubtedly be most interesting and valuable for those who are pres- ent. The meeting will lie presided over by Miss Isabelle Entrikin, who is the librarian of the L’pper Darby Public Library. The meeting will be divided into two parts, the morning program and the afternoon program. A buffet luncheon will be served between 12:15 p. m. and 1:30 p. ni. Discussions which will take place in the morning will center around “State Library News in Pennsylvania” con- ducted by !Miss Evelyn Matthews. Miss Helen Bagley and ^liss ilary Barton, members of the faculty of Drexel Institute, School of Library Science, will discuss “New Material for Use in Reference Work.” The final consideration for the morning will be “Making Books for Children,” by Miss xllice Dalgliesh. After lunch, the topic “Administra- tive Routine in the Small Public Li- brary” will be discussed jointly by Miss Hannah Severns and Miss Isa- belle Entrikin. Both of these ladies are librarians in a Free Public Li- l)rary. Miss Severns is from Moores- town, New Miss Entrikin is from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. The conference will close with the discussion by Miss Margery Quigley, who is librarian of the Free Public Library of Montclair, New Jersey, dealing with “Librarv Publicity.” Chem, Engineers Explode Theory in ^^2-Alarm Blaze The chemical engineers may be sit- ting i>retty, but they almost were rid- ing high. A blaze of accidental origin which swept through the chemical en- gineering laboratory at noon last Mon- liay brought injuries to one .senior taking the course and threatened harm to a score of others. A leak in the feed line of a fractionating column permitted a highly infiammable mix- ture to seek an open flame. Instantly a sheet of fire engulfed the lab., send- ing dense clouds of smoke through the building, and severely burning one of the operators. The fire started during student ex- l»erimentation. Walter Segin, one of the seniors running a test on the col- umn, suffered second degree burns of the hands. He was treated at the University Hospital. He stated that he was attempting to repair a leak in the fractionating column when it broke. Tongues of Uame immediately shot upward, igniting walls and ceil- ing. Though fire extinguishers proved useless, the blaze soon subsided for want of fuel. The fractionating column, construct- ed entirely of glass, was one of the few of its kind in the country, and has been the pride of the chemical engineering department for several years. It was completely demolished. Scores of students who were in the Men’s (/rill across the hull were at- tracted to the laboratory by the dense black smoke. They arrived in time to view the charred and blackened walls and plaster stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Students and the maintenance crew of the school set to work immediately, removing the debris and repairing the damage. Two of the school lire boxes were broken, but no need of a general alarm was jieces- sary. Washington, Caught With Goods, and No Alibi, Took Beating The citizen.** are asked to join the ciindy manufacturers and the moving jiicture magnates in celebrating the Itirthdays of those two great men, Washington and Lincoln, 1st and Itith jiresidents respectively. Everyone knows that those two men were just as human as the man in the turnstile. Lincoln, of course, learned to orate in six easy lessons by ]iost card, while Washington’s veracity could not be better presented than by ('hristoj)her Morley’s discovery in the diary of Washington's wife, Martha. Martha says: “ . . . In the Evening some of the Companye tooke Occa- sion to rally the General upon the old Fable of the Cherrye Tree, which hath ever been imported an Evidence of hys exceeding Veracity, though to saye sooth I never did believe the Legend myself. ‘Well,’ sayes the Gen- eral with a Twinkle, ‘it wolde not be Politick to denye a Romance which is soe jirofitable to my Reputation, but to be candid, Gentlemen, I have no certain recollection of the Affaire. My Brother Lawrence was wont to .say that the Tree or Slirubb in Ques- tion was no Cherrye but a bitter Per- simmon: moreover he told me that I stoutly denyed any Attacke upon it; but being caught with the Ooods. . . . I was soundly Flogged, and walked stiffly for three dayes.’” Commuters Club Holds Meeting Appoint Board of Twelve; Constitution Established and Name to Remain Unchanged A meeting of the Commuter’s Club w;is held on Wednesday, February 3, in room 209. At this meeting the con- stitutiou^was read by Virginia Lee, chairmai^f the constitutional commit- tee. The constitution was unanimous- ly acceiited by the clul). This constitution established the l)urpose of the club as three-fold: to discuss college problems, to create better school sjiirit, and to help the commuter girls to Itecome better ac- (|uainted. It jirovides for a board of twelve members, eight of whom are to be appointed by the j)resident, who is to take two members from each class. 'I'he members of this board are Claire Bowman, Margaret Ann Stephenson, Jessie Erwin, Ilarriet Smith, Christine -Moore, June Moore, Janey Detwiler, Mary Dougherty, Wally Dielim, Annie Lynd and Ruth Schultz. Six commit- tees to be selected by the I’resident are jirovided for under this constitu- tion. They are the Social, Sick, Nominating, Refreshment, Entertain- ment and Scrap Book Committees. The members of these committees have not yet been apj)ointed. The (juestion of a name for the club w;is again discussed and after much controversy it was decided that the name should remain the Commuter’s Club. Dues were collected and the Treas- urer, Sally Hall, reported the sum of $14.00 in the Club Treasury. With the assistance of these dues the first [larty has been planned. It is to be a Valentine Party which will be held in the Women's Lounge on Mondiiy, February 15, from four to five-thirty. All women commuters ai'e urged to come. Approjiriate games have been planned and refreshments will be served. There are two committees in charge of this party. They are the entertainment committee, consisting of Harriet Smith, Elsie Stratton, Billie Gillis, Fritzie Wilson, and the refresh- ment committee consisting of Chris- tine Moore, June Moore, Elva (.’onnor, Elaine Rose, Polly Allyn and Ellen llouliston. Dr. Margaret May Diehni, widely known scientist and instructor in the School of Biological Sciences, was selected by the board as advisor for the club. Dr. Diehm, who has been teaching at Drexel since 1930, is a graduate of the University of Penn- sylvania. New Freshmen Women Entertained by Y.W.C.A. The February Freshmen women started their round of social activi- ties by attending the Junior Counselor Tea which was held in the Women’s Lounge Wednesday, February 10, from four-thirty to five-thirty o’clock. The membe>s of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet acted as hostesses and big sisters to the freshmen girls. This tea, popular- ly known as the “fjig” and “little” sistei" tea, was given for the purpose of jiiaking the new students more at home in their new surroujidings. Miss Dorsey aided the Y. W. Cabi- net in greeting the new girls and mak- ing them fully welcome. Their “lit- tle” sisters were also introduced to Mrs. Judd, the sponsor of the Y. W'. (!. A. at Drexel and to l)r. Dickson, )i member of the faculty, who takes an active interest in this associution. Date of Annual M ilitary Ball Drawing Near Hudson-DeLange Orches- I tra to Furnish Music; Four Extra Surprise Feat- ' ures Each for Men and Women Big Event of Term The Twelfth Annual Military Ball will be held one week from today, Friday evening, February 19, from nine until two, at the Ballroom of the i Hotel Piollevue-Stratford. The feature ! attraction of this year’s dance W ’ill be the delightful swing music of the cur- rently popular Hudson-DeLange or- chestra. 1 The .Vnnual Military Ball is always the most si)ectacular event of the win- ter term. This year’s dance will live U]i to that reputation and will no doubt be the high spot in the Drexel i Social Calendar. Plana for the ball have been .arranged by the Drexel unit j of the R.O.T.('. under the direction I of Ca])tain Clyde Plank. In a special announcement, the ball committee ; stated that every girl will receive an attractive favor, which w'ill be well worthwhile. In addition to the favor there will be four extra -surprise floor ' prizes for the men and also four prizes I for the girls. These ])romise to be i something unusual at Drexel. ' The music for this glorious occasion will be ]>resented by the well-known ! Iludson-DeLange Band and their spec - ial arrangements by Will Hudson. Ed- die DeLange leads the band, and ac- ' cording to a recent announcement'both will be jiresent on the big night. Both \ | Eddie and Will are nationally known and have been honored by the Amer- . ' ican Society of Authors and Com- posers for tlieir excellent songs. They have collaboriited on such popular hits as “Moonglow,” “Tonnt'nted,” “Mr. (Jliost (Joes to Town,” “Solitude,” and “You're Not the Kind.” Right now the whole country is swinging and sing- ing the story found in Will Hudson’s “Organ (irinder’s Swing,” Lately the band has b<*en jil;iying over Radio Station WOR in Newark. They can be recognized by their inimitable self- ; written theme song, “Hobo on Park ; Avenue.” In the past they have made i recordings for the Brunswick Com- i pany. | Incidentally, it is riither interesting to note that many Drexelites danced^ to the music of this popular band ax Sunnybrook last Saturday evening. i According to those attending the | Pottstown resort the Hudson-DeLange i Hand was the real thing. Recently the band ])layed at Lafayette Collego and more recently set records in ' Louisville. Irving Mills, ])0 [iular musician and i introducer of such headliners as Ina I Ray Hutton, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington, jiredicts lasting popularity i for tlie Iludson-DeLange combination. ; The noted imjjresario ]»oints to the i unusual style of this band, describing it as “adventures in sweet rhythm,” \ :ind classes the young outfit as among the finest attractions in the country. | 'I’he Ball Committee has also an- ' nounced that it will sponsor two court <lances before the day of the ball. ' 'I'here will be one this afternoon from ! four until five-thirty and also another next Wednesday February 17th from one until two. * ' Although the military ball is spon- I sored solely by the Dre.xel Military Dep;irtment, the committee wishes it to be understood that all Drexel stu- dents are welcome. Tickets may be had at four dollars apiece at the mili- tary office, from any advanced R.O. T.C. student during the week of the <lance, in the (Jreat Court, or at the door of the ball rocnn oji the evening of the dance, 'i’he dance again will provide an excellent oj)portunity to meet old friends and to make new 'I acquaijitances. | (.'haperons who have been selected for the dance are: Lieutenant-Colonel and ,\lrs. (ireen, Major and Mrs. Steele, Major and Mrs. Hibberd, and Cap- i tain and Mrs. Plank. The reception ! line will consist of Dr. and Mrs. Parke R. Kolbe, Lt. Col. and Mrs. Green, and *\Ir. Winfield A. Scott. The re- : ceiving line has been shortened this year in view of the fact that faut i year’s line was too long and tiresome. I Captain I^lank’s committee consist- J ing of W. Scott, S. Mitchell, A. Scho- (' field, R. Zook, C. (Jarland, H. Raynes, R. Teich, E. Wintermoyer, and B. | Stevens, has promised a most spectacu- lar time to all attending the ball.

Every rushing party given was a success and the sjiirit with wiiicli the girls cooperated with their respective chairmen and committees goes to prove what splendid Hjtirit is present in the Drexel sorority life. After the last rushing j)arty held on February sixth, the girls prepared themselves for the silence jieriod which took place from Kunday morning, February sev­enth, until Tuesday morning follow­ing. The neutral party, Mr. Williams, who very kindly consented to handle the checking of" bids again this year, ])resonted the names of the girls to a representat ive of each sorority, Tues­day morning at eight forty-five, and the re])resentatives in turn extended invitat ions to join their sisterhood to tliose girls who had chosen their re ­spective tiororities.

Pros and Cons of Subject Defended by Interested Students at Last Meeting

The Debating (Mub of Drexel star ted something on Thursday eve­ning, January 28, when they held an Inter-Club debate. The center of dis­pute was whether classes at Drexel should s tart at eight in the morning during football season. Barbara Weiss and Tom Polites vigorously de­fended the proposed set-up, while Everet t Checket and and John Havi- land just as vigorously aimed verbal missiles a t its weakest points.

The affirmative said this: (1) Foot­ball practice would s tar t an hour earlier in the afternoon, thus shorten­ing the time spent in practice under floodlights; (2) gir ls’ athletics would benefit; (3) s tudents would see more of the sun, therefore benefiting their heal th; (4) the extra hour in the afternoon would help some get ac- ([uainted with the library and others with the one leaning over the opposite rail; (o) students would have an ex­tra hour in the afternoon in which to earn money; ((>) commuters could at tend social events at Drexel.

The negative said this: (1) S tu ­dents will have to get up too early to get to school; (2) having to get u)) so early they will be groggy the rest of the day (it was suggested tha t this statement would come nearer to the tru th if the word “groggy” was re ­placed with “groggier” ); (3) profes­sors also must be considered (no im­provement was suggested for this s ta tem ent) ; (4) freslimen, having to be at school at eight o’clock, would flunk out without looking fu r ther for an alibi, thus endangering the fu ture of Drexel; (o) why should football be favored; ((i) it would cost •'ILOO u day more to star t at eight o'clock in the morning or .fDCS.lH) a year— enough to ])ut three people through school a year.

A vote given by the audience dis- closetl that al though they hoped tha t no one would do any more than talk about this par ticular idea, they conceded that the affirmative side gave the best arguments, and tha t Bobby Weiss did the best arguing.

Debates always seem to leave one high and dry with plenty to say but no one to say it to. Not so this time; af te r the last rebut tal, everybody re­butted.

Plans were made for the next meet ­ing which will be held at the Lodge on the evening of February 11. Some­where around seven o’clock another thought, word, or deed will be placed before the jury with speeches for and against it, and as many judges as there are shadowy figures grouped around the firejdace will decide the sentence.

Gold Key Sponsors Dance After Game With F. & M.

The first dance sponsored by the Gold Key Society w.ts held last S a tu r ­day night in the men’s gym a f te r the Franklin and Marshall game. The affair was a great success both finan­cially and socially.

The music was supplied by a public address .system. The substi tutions were announced over this system and there was much favorable comment, both from Franklin and Marshall and from Drexel rooters. “ I f there is enough demand for this form of enter ­tainment, there may be another af ter the Albright game,” said Raymond Barley who wa.s in charge of making the arrangements. Earl Lamborn and Jack Kelley assisted Barley in his job.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Drexel Society of Commercial E n ­gineers on February 4tli Mr. Peltz of the Pbilco Radio Corporation was guest sjieaker. This lecture was an ­other in the series which the society has plannetl for its meetings through­out the year.

*Mr. Peltz, the assistant industrial engineer of the Philco Company, gave a very in teresting and valuable ta lk on industrial engineering, point ing out the functions of the planning and jirocessing departments of a large plant. He fully exjilained the details of planning, making time studies, and processing of goods. Following his intensely interesting ta lk he star ted an oi>en forum on informal (juestions for the th i r ty commercial engineers present. The students entered into the lively discussion and benefited great ly from it.

The Commercial Engineers’ Society is comparatively new at Drexel, hav ­ing been organized only last spring by a group of interested students. Since it drew up its const itution it has enlisted over tw enty members and has elected the following as officers:

Norman G. Schafer, jjresident Kenneth K. Wignall, vice-president Ralph Owens, treasurer Sidney Daroff, recording secretary John Carrigan, corresponding

secretary.

Mr. F. G. Seulberger, of the Drexel Ins ti tute Cooperative Department , has been acting as adviser and counselor to this newly organized grou|>. The Society has petitioned the Student ( ’ouncil for a charter and expects to receive it in a few weeks. The group meets on the first Thursday of every mouth from October to May a t eight p. m. in either the Men’s Union or the Art Gallery.

The purpose of the society is to ac(iuaint itself with the problems of the engineering field, and to work in cooperation with tliis field. Well- known authorit ies in the field of com­mercial engineering have been booked for topic ta lks throughout the year.

The next regular meeting will bo held on March fourth at the same time.

Portrayer of Virgin Mary to Tell of Presentation of German Pageant of Life of Christ; Lectures W ell R e ­ceived Through Country

Assembly FeatureAs a fea ture for next Wednesday’s

assembly, Drexel will have as guest speaker a young lady who bears an in t imate connection with what has been called the greatest dramatic pro ­duction of the ages, the Passion Play of Oberammergau — Fraulein Anny Rutz, twice port rayer of the role of the Virgin Mary.

Miss Rutz’s lectures in this country have been unique and well received. Critics recount how in fluent English the a t t rac t iv e young performer pre ­sents a view of her little Bavarian town in a del ightful ly in timate way, speaking of its people and of the meaning of its great play, communi­ca ting to her audience the very spirit which characterizes a performance that has been offered i)eriodically from 1034 to the i»resent day.

Oberammergau is a village devoted sincerely to its production. Every tenth year some seven hundred p a r ­ticipants, all villagers, offer to the people of their na t ive Germany and of the world a pageant for whicli they have religiously prepared themselves. The players t ra in their hair and their beards and study to assume the general appearance of the characters in this story of the last few days of Christ upon the earth. It was in 1(533 tha t the inhabitants created the play, an expression of their grat itude upon the cessation of the scourge of the Black Death with which the vil ­lage had been stricken. Revising the text slightly for each new perfor ­mance, the villagers jiresent their d ay ­long drama to the accompaniment of an orchestra of fifty members and a chorus of almost equal size. The spirit of the play must thoroughly pervade the little village of Oberammergau— the walls of many of the houA's bear frescoes, rej)roductions of famous Biblical nuiSt erpieces.

In Miss Rutz an audience finds a modern young woman of a t t rac t ive personality, presenting a message on one of the world’s oldest and most interesting dramatic performances. She comes as a descendant of one of the founders of the play, the first “Chris tus” , likewise of the composer of the music which accompanies the drama, Rochus Dedler, a conteni])orary of -Mozart and Hayden. Miss Rutz’s role of Mary is called distinguished, her lecture, thrilling.

Chem, Engineers E xplode Theory in ^^2-A la rm B la ze

The chemical engineers may be s i t­ting i>retty, but they almost were rid ­ing high. A blaze of accidental origin which swept through the chemical en ­gineering laboratory at noon last Mon- liay brought injuries to one .senior tak ing the course and threatened harm to a score of others. A leak in the feed line of a frac tionating column permitted a highly infiammable mix­ture to seek an open flame. Ins tant ly a sheet of fire engulfed the lab., send­ing dense clouds of smoke through the building, and severely burning one of the operators.

The fire s tar ted during student ex- l»erimentation. Wal ter Segin, one of the seniors running a test on the col­umn, suffered second degree burns of the hands. He was t reated at the Univers ity Hospital. He stated tha t he was a t tem pting to repair a leak in the frac t ionat ing column when it broke. Tongues of Uame immediately shot upward, igniting walls and ceil­ing. Though fire extinguishers proved useless, the blaze soon subsided for want of fuel.

The fractionating column, const ruct­ed entirely of glass, was one of the few of its kind in the country, and has been the pride of the chemical engineering department for several years. It was completely demolished.

Scores of students who were in the Men’s (/rill across the hull were a t ­t racted to the laboratory by the dense black smoke. They arrived in time to view the charred and blackened walls and plaster stalac t ites hanging from the ceiling. Students and the maintenance crew of the school set to work immediately, removing the debris and repairing the damage. Two of the school lire boxes were broken, but no need of a general alarm was jieces- sary.

The citizen.** are asked to join the ciindy manufacturers and the moving jiicture magnates in celebrat ing the Itirthdays of those two great men, Washington and Lincoln, 1st and Itith jiresidents respectively.

Everyone knows tha t those two men were just as human as the man in the turnstile. Lincoln, of course, learned to orate in six easy lessons by ]iost card, while Washington’s veraci ty could not be bet te r presented than by ( 'hristoj)her Morley’s discovery in the diary of Washington's wife, Martha. Martha says: “ . . . In the Evening some of the Companye tooke Occa­sion to rally the General upon the old Fable of the Cherrye Tree, which hath ever been imported an Evidence of hys exceeding Veracity, though to saye sooth I never did believe the Legend myself. ‘Well,’ sayes the Gen­eral with a Twinkle, ‘it wolde not be Politick to denye a Romance which is soe jirofitable to my Reputat ion, but to be candid, Gentlemen, I have no certain recollection of the Affaire. My Brother Lawrence was wont to .say tha t the Tree or Slirubb in Ques­tion was no Cherrye but a b i t te r P e r ­simmon: moreover he told me tha t I stoutly denyed any Attacke upon it; but being caught with the Ooods. . . . I was soundly Flogged, and walked stiffly for three dayes.’ ”

Hudson-DeLange Orches- I tra to Furnish Music; Four Extra Surprise Feat- ' ures Each for Men and W omen

Big Event of TermThe Twelfth Annual Military Ball

will be held one week from today, Friday evening, February 19, from nine until two, at the Ballroom of th e i Hotel Piollevue-Stratford. The feature ! at tract ion of this year’s dance W’ill be the delightful swing music of the cur­rently popular Hudson-DeLange or­chestra. 1

The .Vnnual Military Ball is always the most si)ectacular event of the w in­ter term. This yea r ’s dance will live U]i to that reputation and will no doubt be the high spot in the Drexel i Social Calendar. Plana for the ball have been .arranged by the Drexel unit j of the R.O.T.('. under the direction I of Ca])tain Clyde Plank. In a special announcement, the ball committee ; stated tha t every girl will receive an at trac t ive favor, which w'ill be well worthwhile. In addition to the favor there will be four extra -surprise floor ' prizes for the men and also four prizes I for the girls. These ])romise to be i something unusual at Drexel. '

The music for this glorious occasion will be ]>resented by the well-known ! Iludson-DeLange Band and their spec­ial ar rangements by Will Hudson. E d ­die DeLange leads the band, and ac- ' cording to a recent announcement'both will be jiresent on the big night. Both \ | Eddie and Will are nationally known and have been honored by the Amer- . ' ican Society of Authors and Com­posers for tlieir excellent songs. They have collaboriited on such popular hits as “ Moonglow,” “Tonnt'nted,” “ Mr. (Jliost (Joes to Town,” “Solitude,” and “ You're Not the Kind.” Right now the whole country is swinging and sing­ing the story found in Will Hudson’s “Organ (i rinder’s Swing,” Lately the band has b<*en jil;iying over Radio Stat ion WOR in Newark. They can be recognized by their inimitable self- ; written theme song, “ Hobo on P a rk ; Avenue.” In the past they have made i recordings for the Brunswick Com- i pany. |

Incidentally, it is riither interest ing to note tha t many Drexelites danced^ to the music of this popular band ax Sunnybrook last Saturday evening. i According to those at tending the | Pottstown resort the Hudson-DeLange i Hand was the real thing. Recently the band ])layed at Lafayet te Collego and more recently set records in ' Louisville.

Irving Mills, ])0[iular musician and i introducer of such headliners as In a I Ray Hutton, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington, jiredicts lasting popularity i for tlie Iludson-DeLange combination. ; The noted imjjresario ]»oints to the i unusual style of this band, describing it as “adventures in sweet rhythm,” \ :ind classes the young outfit as among the finest at tract ions in the country. |

'I’he Ball Committee has also an- ' nounced that it will sponsor two court <lances before the day of the ball. ' ' I'here will be one this afternoon from ! four until five-thirty and also another next Wednesday February 17th from one until two. * '

Although the military ball is spon- I sored solely by the Dre.xel Military Dep;irtment, the committee wishes it to be understood that all Drexel s tu ­dents are welcome. Tickets may be had at four dollars apiece a t the mili­tary office, from any advanced R.O. T.C. student during the week of the <lance, in the (Jreat Court, or a t th e • door of the ball rocnn oji the evening of the dance, 'i’he dance again will provide an excellent oj)portunity to meet old friends and to make new 'I acquaijitances. |

(.'haperons who have been selected for the dance are: Lieutenant-Colonel and ,\lrs. (ireen, Major and Mrs. Steele, Major and Mrs. Hibberd, and Cap- i tain and Mrs. Plank. The reception ! line will consist of Dr. and Mrs. P a rk e ‘ R. Kolbe, Lt. Col. and Mrs. Green, and *\Ir. Winfield A. Scott. The re- : ceiving line has been shortened this year in view of the fact th a t faut i year’s line was too long and tiresome. I

Captain I^lank’s committee consist- J ing of W. Scott, S. Mitchell, A. Scho- (' field, R. Zook, C. (Jarland, H. Raynes,R. Teich, E. Wintermoyer, and B. | Stevens, has promised a most spectacu­lar time to all a t tending the ball.

Self-made Men

To d a y is February twelfth. Today the entire nation pays tribute to one of its greatest

statesmen and leaders. The whole world is ac(iuainted with the story of his humble birth, and his triumphant struggles against cir­cumstances and overwhelming

odds. Honest Abe was a self- made man. All his schooling if combined 'svould probably not comprise an ecjuivalent to a full year of concise modern training, but he possessed traits that en­abled him to reach the top of the ladder through the force of per­sonality and determination.

Juist how' successful a man of Lincoln’s type could become in the w'orld today has often been a subject of disj)ute. Just how much chance does a self-made man have today? Specialized college training in chosen fields along with the mass production of large corporations narrows the field to a slim nuirgin. Most men who may be termed “ self-made” are found in politics, but even they are slowly being replaced by men trained in political sciences.

Dr. Paul Burgess, University of Arizona, recently made the following declaration: “ The self- made man nmy still go far, but from now on he could go much further if he had the background of training.” Lincoln in the world today W'ould undoubtedly make his mark, but men like Lincoln are rare.

Chit Chat on BooksBy MARY ANTHONY

Of course, by now, you’ve all heard of the new novel which is destined to lie the successors to “Gone with the Wind.” “Drums Along the Mohawk” l)y Walter D. Edmonds, the story of a young girl, eighteen years old, and her young husband—their life with its struggles, the loves, and hates and mixed up happenings are thrilling. I t is a historical novel, which takes place during the Revolutionary W’ar but the facts and characters are abso­lutely true to life today. The dia ­logue is bright with suspense. Like “Gone with the Wind”, once you start it, you’ll not stop until you linish it, and it won’t take you half as long.

The book, “ Edna St. Vincent Mil- lay and Her Times”, by Elizabeth A t ­kins, grows out of the continual ques­tion, “ Who is our most popular and representat ive poet?” There is no doubt tha t Miss Millay is our most popular poet and “she is the only liv­ing poet wlio is casually quoted in l»hih)sophical treatises and in moving- picture magazines, in churclies and in night clul)s, in the rural schools of Oregon and in the Sorbonne of Paris .” Sl»e re-says what has been said by others but in a new way, so that no one recognizes it. She arouses in otlier poets a new mood, a fresh tlienie, and a st range word. Therefore, she is not an imitator but an initiator.

The book contains a criticism of eleven of Miss Millay’s jioeins begin­ning with her lirst, “ Hi'nassenco” , writ ten just a f te r she h a l linished high scliool. The secret of jiio poem is not its philosophy, whic4 is now so great, but its language, w lV h is so true, and so very naturally ililngiish. It has influenced many otiiei\ poets, the strongest of wliom is Josep^i Ans- lander, in “ An Eye.”

Other poems discussed are: liamp and the lieel”, written ^ ’hile Miss Milhty was u student at (Vus- sar, “Second April”, “The K ing’s Henchman”, “The Buck in the Snow”, “ Fatal In terview”, and “ Wino from These Grapes.” Heading this book will develop u greater appreciation for Miss Millay.

Your author, due to a scarcity of offers to take over his column—as matter of fact, a complete absence of them—will again try his hand a t some modified sat ire (P. S. TRIANGLE cen sorship), and a little of his own philos ophy founded on his life of inexperi ence.

With a firm belief tha t the Ameri­can (’ollege boy is a keen s tudent of the events occurring around him, your author believes the youth of today is following closely the general trend of thought in regard to our type of gov ernment. Should the American people permit any one group to dominate the situation to such an extent tha t it is able, in a few short years, to estab­lish itself and its doctrines, which are opposed by for ty per cent of the ))eople it controls, on the nation for tiie rest of its life. Thus, the student of today and business man and poli tician of tomorrow is weighing the advantages and disadvantages of a strong and powerful central govern ment on his own scales of judgment

However, from a bit of observing, your author cannot help adniiro the progress made by the ])eopIe who landed and settled in a wilderness and huilt the greatest nation in the world on a foundation of liberalism. Even the engineers realize tha t when one removes any section of the founda­tion he must replace it with one us strong, if not stronger. Perhaps the powers should hesitate a little more before they start removing blocks lest the wiiole house collapse.

Ho>vever, your author in this more serious moment of thought hastens to add as a part ing shut—tha t the radi cals of today are the conservatives of tomorrow, and even conservatives have their good poiuts.

A Freshman s EpistleDear Mom:

I'vo got lots to toll you this time. To begin witli, I jtfined the fra te rni ty ike yon said it was nil right to do.

I haven't been initiated yet, formally, hut I've pledged and jiaifl my fees. My roommate also joine«l. The f r a te r ­nity men call us pledges kneel-flghts.I soon found whore the “kneel" part cfiines from, but up to now I haven't had any scraps. I think I could hold my own against any of them unless they use brass knuckles.

After the pledging ceremonies wore over, we new members went down town to have a bi>f dinner. Every ­thing was all right, I guess, but they gave us some funny things to eat. They started out by serving some stuff that we used ketchup with, and ate. It tasted good, r\nd I asked my room­mate what it was, and he said it was raw oysters. After the waiter cleaned up. I ditln't e.at much more.

I think Helmar and Fatima are still mad. Mom. Roth of them were th ink ­ing of joining the same sorority. When Fatima found tha t out, she changed her mind suddenly, and joined another. And Helmar, she thought the same way, and now they’re both in the same sorority anyway.

I was going to take Helmar to the basketball game last Saturday because there was a dance afterwards. But she said tha t a fellow from her home town was going to look her up, so I took Fatima. She wore a veil so the scratches wouldn’t show.

At the game I saw Helmar with the guy who was looking her up. She smiled very pret ty-like at me, but made a face at Fatima, who I noticed was licking something from the end of her nose. I didn't like tha t fellow who looked Helmar up, for I found out later that he looked her up Sun­day, Monday, and Tuesday, and is going to look her up again tonight and tomorrow. I hope he goes home soon.

I tried to get a girl to take to the Mili tary Ball next Friday but so far I haven't had any luck. I don’t think I want to take a girl from the dorm af te r all the trouble I 've had there. I 've already asked one girl who lives in Philadelphia if she'd go, and she said, “ Well—,” so then I asked her what her jilione number was so I could call her. That n ight when I called the number she gave me, and asked for her, a man said tha t no per­son by tha t name worked there. What do you think, Mom? The number she gave me belonged to the police s ta ­tion near school! She must have got it mixed uji.

Lessons are coming along all right, and mid-term examinat ions have left their mark. Remember that little card you got from school during the mid­dle of last term tha t had some red numbers on it? Well, Mom, I think you’ll get another one soon, just like it. But it may have a little more red nuniliers this time to show I ’m improv­ing.

If I don’t get tha t date for the Military Ball, I ’ll be home next week ’cause we get Monday off on account of it being Washington’s bir thday.

Your ever loving son.Chesterfield.

F:ids come “ for a day" and then fade away—but black and white and navy and white go on forever.

With these two coml)inations as chic background, styles arc' varied and m.any. The bolero j.acket nunibef is popular and has won the distinction of being "the dress of the country" in “ Women's Daily Wear." The bolero jacket can be reversiltle with print on one side and ]>lain niateri:il on the other. A tlufTy little white blouse with an enthusiastic jabot crawling down the front or under the bolero jacket can be worn with the more conservative adequate scarf ties. The “ Korner" suggests an “adequate" scarf, because the jacket leaves con­siderable space to be considered be­tween the jacket and skirt.

With the stands packed l)y fans who exi)ected to see an encore of the first meeting of the two teams, tlie visitors indicated their unwillingness to keep the score close by sinking three quick field goals before the game was two minutes old.

Ted Layton converted a foul to open the Drexel scoring, but Snod­grass, the k*ague leading scorer, drop­ped in his second twin-pointer to make the score 8-1 at tha t point. Two good free throws by Nannos, and a double- header by Donaldson, while «i)onau- gle was scoring a single jioint, carried the Dragons to within four points of the lead, the closest they came a t any time during the game.

From here on the Diplomats pulled aw'ay with three s tra ight field shots l)efore Bennett dropped one for Drexel. After each team added four more points, the half ended with F. & M. holding a lead of 19-11.

After the intermission Layton s t i r ­red up Drexel hopes by banging one in from the side, but with most of the Diplomats’ shots finding the hoop with discouraging regulari ty, the lead mounted to 27-13.

M at t Donaldson played a crack-up game in the second half, sinking 7 field goals within the 20 minute period. Layton dropped one in the second half and also converted one of his foul shots. How'ever, the Diplomats were not to bo caught up with. Lauclus, star forward, had a prosperous second half, dropping 5 field goals and one foul shot. 8i)on- augle helped the Diplomats gain their lead sinking 3 field goals—Snodgrass added two, while b(»th Hummer and Arpliss added one. Captain Hummer ])laved an excellent grade of basket ­ball, tak ing the ball down the floor and passing in grand style.

A final spurt of the F. & M. boys gave them a 19 point lead when the game ended.

(The following art icle was written specially ff>r the THfAXCiLH by Iff-rb I^aynes. Kaynes and (trove have been lifelong friends, and Herb is fully qualified to r(“late briefly soitH* of the steps in tin* lanky jiort- siricr's sticcess. Herb himself is one of Drexel’s outs tanding twirlers. — Hditor.)

During the jiast two weeks, Kobert M. (Lefty) (trove has been vis iting I’hiladelpliia, the scene of his earlier triumi)hs. The lanky left-hander, who has a lready earned a ])laco among baseball’s immortals along with Babe Kuth, Ty Cobb, Hube Waddell, and all the others, is to be remembered as the leading hurler of the American League ffir many seasons and accord­ing to no less an authori ty than P hil ­adelphia’s own Connie ^L'lck, he is the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time.

He started his professional career back in 1920 with Martinsburg of the P>lue Hidge League which is about sixty-five miles from his homo town of Lonaconing, Maryland. Contrary to the ])opular story th a t he rode a bicycle over the mountains to play his first game Grove says, “ I never had a bicycle—as a m a t te r of fact , I was working for the Western Maryland Railroad a t the time and took a fu r ­lough and used a pass to ride to Martinsburg.”

L ef ty ])layed .just six games with Martinsburg before he was purchased by the Baltimore Orioles for $3200. This sudden rise was due mostly to the fact th a t he st ruck out twenty- three bat ters in his second s ta r t and a total of s ix ty for the six games. At Baltimore, L e f ty finished the season with a record of tw’elve victories and two defea ts and was largely respon­sible for the Orioles winning the I n t e r ­nat ional League pennant . I t was a f te r this first season, a t the ripe old age of twenty, th a t L e f ty received what he considers his biggest thrill. Ho states, “ Each player received a check for $1881 for winning the pennant tha t year and I went r ight home to Lonaconing, bought a house and got married.” Now, a t the age of thirty- seven, he has tw’o children. Bob or “Young L ef ty ” as he is called is fif­teen and Doris is thir teen. “Young L ef ty”, unlike his famous father, is right-handed, but ho nevertheless has pi tching aspirations.

spent four more years with Baltimore, winning 108 games and losing 36 be- bore he was sold to the Philadelphia Afhletics for the unprecedented price of $100,600 in 1925.

From 1925 to 1933 he pitched for Connie Mack and helped win Amer­ican League pennants in ’29, ’30, and ’31. I t was in 1931 th a t Grove estab ­lished an all-time record of thirty-one victories and only four defeats.

In 1933, Tom Yawkey’s tremendous for tune lured L ef ty from the A’s for a price reported to be about $200,000. With the Red Sox he had the first sore arm of his career in 1934, but he came back in ’35 and ’36 to lead the league in earned run average.

With the season of ’37 approaching, Grove is now prepar ing for another great year by w o r k i n g out daily a t the Philadelphia Health Ins ti tute .

I t might be of in teres t a t this point to relate a few of his act iv i ties other than baseball. To begin with, he spends most of the winter hunting for all k inds of game including rabbit, deer, ducks, etc. This past year, he has been using a “made to measure”

shot gun, a present from his owner, Tom Yaw’key.

Back in Lonaconing, a town of about 3000 people. L e f ty o\vns a pool room and bowling alley which keep him occupied during the w in te r eve­nings. He indulges in a good b it of right-handed bowling during the off­season (r ight-handed so as not to in ­jure his “money-arm” ).

The chief indus tries of Lonaconing ire a glass fac tory, a silk mill, and numerous soft coal mines. Prior to his baseball career. Grove worked for a short time a t each. When asked about his coal mining experience, “Old Mose” said, “ I worked for two weeks digging coal and then decided that I didn’t pu t it in there so, I wasn’t going to dig it out.”

Larry Mains’ boys came out on toj) with flying colors last Satu rday night when they trounced the F. & M. frosh.

The Drexel boys played a distinctly aggressive game giving the Freshmen from Lancaster a hard time to prevent them from scoring. The Freshmen Dragons showed great improvement, tlieir passing was smooth and they had developed an eye for the basket . Ellor, (libson and Barron scored for the Drexel Frosh in the first half while Gennelly, Trotter, Wageman, and -Nfaga scored for the F. and M. Frosh. .‘Vt the end of the first half Drexel had a one point lead, the score being 12-11.

Well, wo can always blame last Saturday’s massacre on Dave Curry. The boys were so mad about his g e t ­ting a night off tha t they forgot all about basketball.

There may be another reason though. ’Tis rumored tha t F. & M. has a p re t ty fa i r ball club.

Which reminds us tha t M at t Donald­son gave the pewholders an eyeful of basketbal l as she should be played.

With everybody gunning for Snod­grass, Hummer, and Sponaugle, a little guy named Sanders got lost in the shuffle. Whenever they did find him, it was always right a f te r he had scor­ed a couple of points.

The preliminary game served to in­troduce a young nuin named Ellor, who, in case your memory fails you, jumped center fo r our own frosh. Looks like you’ve got something there. Lurry Mains.

Drexel and Temple Play Chess at Mitten Hall

A game lost, a game won, and. a match to be played const itute the recent history of the Chess Club. Temple’s club is listed as the oppo­nent in a match tonight a t Mitten Hall.

Defeat came from Osteopathy J a n ­uary 8th by the score of 3-2 in a th ird round event of the Intercollegiate Chess League. Victory over St. J o ­seph’s came on February 5th, by the score of 4-1, making the team’s rec­ord 12 wins and 8 losses.

A meeting of J a n u a ry 29th was featured by tlie presence of three graduates: F. Tangman, R, Haldman, and F. Seaman, who played two men each, simultaneously, and won every match.

At the o])ening of the second half Ellor dropped two field goals in close succession while T ro t ter and W age­man again scored for the F. & M. Freshmen. Due to the Freshmen Drag ­ons’ aggressive playing bo th forwards were jmt out on fouls. Pain and Gib­son. Ellor being fouled on three times sank each foul, giving the Dragon Freshmen a small lead. The F. & M. frosh however did not let this lead grow too large, and Walker converted three foul shots and dropped a basket cut ting the lead down to one point. However, with only a minute and a half to go Dalbey cinched the game with a field goal making the score 27-24 a t the close of the game.

ball hnvo cnrriod Tjpfty all over the t 'n i ted Htntrs, Canada, Mexico and Japan either during regular schodulea or on barnatorining trips. Ho has met important ])eople in all stages of life including jtreaidenfs and moving pic­ture stars. One of his hobbies is col­lecting baseballs of games tha t he has won. At his home in Lonaconing he has a large t runk full of them, each with the score, date, and tennis in ­volved lettered on them and a preserv ­ing coat of shellac painted on.

In conclusion I would like to stpte tha t al though some reporters have jtainted Lof ty as a quiet, unapproach­able sort of a person, I have found him to be quite the opposite. Unlike the ta lka t ive Dizzy Dean, Grove is not given to making bodacious boasts but instead is inclined to be conserva­tive in his speech, which is often full of dry humor. His favor ite answer to the question “ Who’s going to win today. L e f t y f ” is “The team tha t makes the most runs.”

Sextet Loses to Strong Beaver Team in One Sided Match, 50-12

Junior Engineers Again Take Seniors, 27 to 12

The junior engineers playing a hard fast game gained a decisive victory over the Seniors. The Seniors had their “Beef T rust” in— a line averag ­ing close to 200 pounds—but in spite of this overwhelming advantage the small, hard-fighting, well conditioned juniors emerged bruised and bat tered, but victorious, score, 27-12.

I t might also be mentioned the sen­iors kept the score and the time, and still lost. Of course the juniors had the referee, and al though this is but a mere trifle hardly worth mentioning, it might have had a small effect on the final outcome.

The junior engineers also wish to issue a formal challenge to any quin­te t regardless of age, race, creed, color or previous condition of servi­tude. The game to be played under Marquis of (^ueensburg rules and no h i t t ing in the clinches. I f interested contact Nye Spencer or Edw. J . Doo­little.

The Drexel varsi ty and second team were handed a setback l)y the strong Heaver team February -tth on the home court. Final scores were: Drexel varsi ty 12, Heaver vars ity 50; Heaver socond 1(), Drexel second 11.

The Drexel vars ity received one te r ­rible shellacking from the last season's undefeateil Heaver team. The Jenkin- town girls were faster, bet ter , and they outplayed the “Tech" girls through the game.

The entire home team was on edge at the beginning and Heaver (piickly sensed this and took full adv.-intage. The Drexel passes were poor and many unnecessary violations were commit­ted, The guards failed to click and the forwards rarely at tempted to shoot.

Louise Orr, forward for the winners, scored on a foul shot a few seconds af te r the first throw-in. The shooting continued and Marian Edwards, star basketbal l forward as well as hockey player, scored those field goals during this first quarter to help her team get their half-hundred points. Charlotte Tew, Drexel high scorer, managed to sneak in two field goals for the co-eds to make their to ta l first quar ter points. The quarter ended with Orr scoring two field goals and Margare t Miller, another snappy Beaver forward, scor­ing the same number. F irs t quarter score: Beaver 15, Drexel -i.

Beaver Continues to_ ScoreThe second quarter opened with the

Drexel guards shif ting to zoning with a two-one formation. Throughout this quarter Charlotte Tew was the only one able to score for the home team and tha t was a foul shot. Ijouise Orr continued her scoring by sinking three more field goals during this quarter. The Beaver team was not content with this so Margare t Mills scored four points and Marian Edwards the same number. The first half ended with the Beaver team holding a 21 point lead. F irs t half score: Beaver 29, Drexel 5.

The Dragonettes entered the second half w’ith more spirit, determined to t ry to increase their score. The guards shif ted to a one-two zoning formation and it worked very well, holding the strong Beaver co-eds to two field goals

and one foul shot. However, the Drex­el forwards failed to get through the Ht'jiver guards and the onlv point scored was a foul shot by Hetty Tew. riiird ([uarter score: Heaver 34 Drex­el ().

During the last (piarter Heaver sent in practiciilly a new team. The> proved to be almost as good as the vars ity and scored sixteen ])oints be­fore the final whistle blew. The Drox- el forwards began shooting in the last few minutes :ind six ]ioints were made by Hetty and Charlotte Tew. Thus,

hard fi)ught g:ime ended with Beaver on top 50-12,

Drexel Seconds LoseThe Drexel seconds made a much

lietter showing. At the end of the first (pmrter Heaver was leading with six points; the “Tech” girls failed to score. However, determination on the part of the home team ended the first half with Drexel leading 7-6. Eileen Leahy, Drexel forward, scored two field goals and Hetty Grigg scored one.

At the beginning of the third quar­ter Heaver went ahead by scoring 3 field goals. Eileen Leahy showed th a t she w:is still in the game and scored another two ]ioints. Third quarter score: Heaver 12, Drexel 9.

The last quarter was full of excite­ment. Beaver led with only a few points for quite awhile. Then to be sure of a victory they scored four points. Francis Sellers scored the final field goal for the losers. M ar­garet Kirk, Drexel guard, ])layed a fine game, intercept ing many passes. Final score was: Beaver 1<5, Drexel 11.

A n independent survey was made recently among professional men and women—lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc* Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they •personally prefer a light smoke*

'The Voice of Experience” verifies the wisdom of this preference, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That’s why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro­tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process ''It’s Toasted”. Luckies are gentle on the throat.

Jle sta ted tliat tlie spirit of the modern high sciiooi is very different from tliat of many years ago, because then only those who passed entrance examina­tions could enter. Gett ing the sub­jec t across to the student is the one big problem of the teaclier today.

P rom inen t Clubs H ear Lectures

B y A . K . Van Tine

“ I’syi liology find tlie Lie Hctective." 'I’his I’liis been the title of several lec- tnres given by Mr. ;\. I\. \ an Tine of the Psychoi«<gy Department recent­ly. Mr. Van Tine ]»reseiited this lec­ture to the IMiilo .Museum Club, promi­nent women’s flub of IMiiladelphia located on Walnut Street, and tft the Meridian Club, a biisiness men’s lunch- i‘on club at Chancellor and (,'amac Streets, Philadelphia.

.\ lie defector is any machine or apparatus tha t will record emotional changes. It is based on i»hysiological changes in the body, such as changes in respiration or heart beat of the sul)- ject. The machine used by Mr. Van Tine is his own machine, a result of four years of experimentation .with the help fif a grou]» of senior engi­neers, and differs from others in many respects.

In his lecture Mr. Van Tine first takes up the physiological bases of the operation of the lie detector, and then goes on with a pract ical demon­stration. At the women’s club Mr. Van Tine tested 12 women and caught

them nil. During his Irctiire nt the Meridian Club he used n more compli­cated ilhifltration and sent four men out of the room. In a separate room a sum of money was placed on a tabh*. Two of the four men entered the room and one of the two men stole the money. In less thnn five minutes Mr. Van Tine was able to detect whii'h one of the two men stole the money. He also tested 14 men in identifying cards and caught all liut one of them.

In his lecture Mr. Van Tine pointed out the objections to the use of the lie fletector in criminal investigation, and then presented the answers to them. The first argument agains t is tha t nearly anyone, when submitted to police examination, becomes emotion­ally excited. However, Mr. Van Tine pointed out tha t a person subjected to sui-h an examination would Ite in ter ­ested in try ing to outwit the detec­tor. Therefore, when an important

question is asked the machine will register a greater kick than before. Another argument is tha t hardened criminals will show no ejnottonal dis­turbance when questioned but Dr. Keeler of .I<iliet S ta te Prision, I l li ­nois, tested non hardened criminals, ind found that everyone of them reg-

cred emotional disturbance. Even the poker fac('d “card shark" became

motionally perturbed on questions which they answered with a lie.

Mr. Van Tine has been invited to s|)eak before the Grub Club by Mr. .1. F. Shrader, member o f . t h e promi­nent Philadelphia law firm of Guckes, Slirader, Hurtt, and Thornton, which includes such well known men as Dr. Ihierv of Temple T’niversity, and Dr. Kllis of Swarthmore. He will speak at the club’s monthly dinner meeting in the Art Club, Tuesday evening, February 9.
