New Building Asked for Library and Art Museum. Suggests New Gym A building up of a new ccnter for the education of women of Drcxel In- stitute is one of the important rec- ommendations made to the Board 6f Trustees of Drexel Institute by Dr. Parke R. Kolbe, president of the col- lege, in his annual report This recommendation is part of a comprehensive program for the de- velopment of the college. As the second step in the “thirty year plan” for Drexel Institute, Dr. Kolbe lists the possibilities of greatly increasing the available space in the West Philadelphia college by addition- al construction on the present site. Before outlining his general ]>lan to guide the future development of the college, Dr. Kolbe sketches, in brief, Drexel’s history, its place in the educational world today, its pres- ent needs and a suggested course of development in the decades to come. Dr. Kolbe is of the opinion that Drexel Institute should continue to exist as a purely jjrofessional school —the field in which it has achieved its success and through which it has made its place in the community. Bather than to increase greatly the variety of her offerings, Dr. Kolbe be- lieves it is desirable that attention be directed to strengthening her work in tue fields already occupied—by en- couraging the teaching and study in the pure sciences and basic subjects which underlie her applied courses; by the establishment of exchange profes- sorships, lectureships and graduate as- sistantships; by additional jjrofession- b 1 courses, such as Chemistry and Pro- fessional Use of English, and by the creation of a central Office of Ad- missions.

Work on the 1934 “Lexerd” is vir- tually completed, and as the final page proofs are being cheeked over, there are indications that this volume will come up to the high standards of the last few years. This has been dilli- cult to accomplish in view of a re- duced budget but by careful planning and revision of details, a book that is satisfactory in all resi»ects has been assembled. Numerous changes liave been made in an endeavor to develop a book which could compare favorably with the outstanding college annuals in the country. The art work has been handled by II. Alonzo Keller, one of the outstanding illustiaturs for col- leges, who was rosiiuiisilik- for the artistic work of the “Lex- erd”. Five full >age color plates will bo featured in t le book to carry the f »rincipal theme which depicts iu<>li ights in the growth of the college. The minor art illustrations which run throughout the book are taken from the various statuary anil artistic fea- tures contained in the school. The sport section has been more emphasi/ed than in previous years, together with the opening sections anil underclass pages in keeping with tho feeling that the book, although being u publication by the senior class, is for all tho students in Drexel. The feature section which was used for tho first time last year, and which received much favorable coninieut, has been enlarged. The idea of showing views around the school which was also used for the first time in the 1933 ‘‘Lexerd”, has been followed again this year, with a complete change in layout and typo of pictures. These views are given largely with the hope of impressing upon tho stu- dents tho fact that although Drexel may be lacking in green campus and Ivy-covered buildings, there are still WAuy objects of beauty and interest in the college. New Game Room Planned For the Dormitory Roof In the corrective room adjoining the Women’s Gymnasium on the third floor of the Institute, one can now have a game of ping pong in spare moments. This form of exercise is not required l)ut can be available to all. Estimates are now being received for the screening of the Women’s Dormitory roof with the intention of installing on the loggia, two popular games: Deck Tennis and Badminton, which is played with a birdie and a racket. It is hoped by not only dorm girls but commuters that work will begin in the near future so that all can test their ability before the end (»f the term. Engineers Hear Marshall Speak President American Insti- tute of Chemical Engi- neers Forecasts Promising Future for Chemical Engineers. Dr. Albert E. Marshall addressed the Drexel chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers at a meeting held on April i5. Dr. Mar- shall who is a member of a firm of consulting chemical engineers in New York and national president of the A. I. Ch. E., discussed the field of chemical engineering and its possi- bilities in the future. Dr. Marshall predicted an eyer-ex- ])anding field of activity for men en- gaged in that field, citing many ex- amples of industrial development in the last ten years which have made chemical engineers indispensable men in the industries. He further listed several points which should be considered by engi- neers when they leave school and en- ter into the professional world. Young men entering into the engineering field must fit themselves to the posi- tions which they occupy, each posi- tion presenting a problem individual to itself. Scholastic brilliancy must be paralleled by personal character- istics of worth, since engineers must i)e able to work smoothly and in co- o])eration with tho industrial execu- tives. Tolerance is an important char- acteristic which engineers must culti- vate. He also stressed the need for ability to present concise and to the point reports of the progress made in engi- neering work since the men who are the heads of many industries are not necessarily technically trained. The reports presented must mean the same thing to the writers and the readers. Single Copies, Five C Dr. Zworykin Speaks ToA.l.£.£.andI.R.E. Lecture Given on Televison by This Noted Authority.

Dr. Zworykin, of R. C. A., was the guest speaker; the topic on which he sjioke was “Image Pickup and Hejjioduction in Televi- sion”. Dr. Zworykin is an outstand- ing autiiority on television and made liis ex|)lanations very clear. The next meeting of the A, I. E. E. is scheduled for April 18th.

The A. I. K. E. Convention to bo held at Princeton, April 30, will have at its meetings a representative from Drexel in the form of C. II. Holland, a member of the senior class. Mr. Holland will present the papers to be entered in the contest that were writ- ten by Drexel students. Last year, H. \V. Deeiner, class of lt)33, won the second prize; the prizes are cash awards.

Dr. Kolbe Rules No Assemblies In Spring Term Monthly Assemblies Dis- continued Due to Lack of Student Interest. May re- turn to Compulsory A t- tendance Plan. Dr. Parke R. Kolbe has been forced to discontinue the monthly assemblies conducted on a voluntary attendance basis for the last two years due to a lack of interest and attendance dur- ing the past months. There will be no assemblies in the spring term with the exception of Institute Day activi- ties. Due to the unimpressive attendances at our past few assemblies the auth- orities have been forced to consider the voluntary attendance plan a fail" ure and at present the return to com- pulsory assemblies is being seriously considered. The Board of Directors cannot see the point in spending time, effort, and money to secure noted speakers when the student body shows little or no interest in the presenta- tions. The most obvious solutions lies in making attendance a compulsory duty unless some other worthwhile ]»lan can be evolved. In the following letter to the Men’s Student Council and to the Women’s Student Government, Dr. Kolbe has presented the whole ])roblem: April 2, 1934. To the Student Council and the Women’s Student Government: 1 am very sorry to inform you that lack of student interest and decreas- ing attendance at voluntary student assemblies render their further con- tinuance unjustifiable in view of the fact that they entail considerable ex- pense for the Institute. For the bal- ance of this college year, therefore, they will be discontinued and the va- cant Wednesday hour will be sched- uled for class work. I am reluctantly forced to the con- clusion that the compulsory assembly plan will have to be resumed next year, unless your organizations, repre- senting the student body, can suggest a better plan for encouraging volun tary attendance than has so far been found. Very truly yours, (Signed) R. Parke Kolbe. THANK YOU On behalf of the Student Branch of the A. S. M.

The Commuters’ Club will entertain all commuting men and w’omen at a dance to be held in the Curtis Hall Gym on Wednesday, April 18th, from four until six o’clock. This event is the first activity of the Commuters’ Club under its new deal in which all commuting women are to be recognized members of the club during the spring term, with no dues required. It has been felt that commuters are suffering from lack of college life due to their scattered residences and during this term, a closer unification of these students will be the aim. I’^nder the direction of Margaret Rank, president of the Club, other plans are being made for social events for commuting women which will in- clude a house-party and several teas throughout the term. The Commuters’ Club offers a valu- able service to the school in foster- ing unity and school spirit in the diffi- cult situation where students live at tiu'ir own homes and can spend only a limited period of time in tho associ- ations which form a valuable [>art of college life. All commuting girls are memiters of this organization and are iirgeil to support its work by attend- ing the social activities and the regu- lar meetings which are held every two weeks at noon on Weilnesilays in Room L ‘08. 'I'lie Club extends a cordial invita- tion to all commuting men and women to attend the dance in the Curtis Hall Gynuiasium next Wednesday after- noon. The l)rexelians will provide music for dancing at this lirst activity in the Commuters’ Club’s new pro- gram and an interesting afternoon is assured. Dean Dorsey has been giving a series of teas for the commuters in order to make these jtlans. Those assisting were: Doris Pettit, Mary Goodman, Mary Doyle, Helen Wil- liams, Elsie Atz, Francis Katchford, Peg Rank, Jessie Ross, and Olga As- santi. A.S.M.E.

Convention Proves Successful Leading Journalists Speak to College Newspaper Representatives at An nual Conclave. The fifteenth annual Spring Con- vention of the Intercollegiate News- paper Association of the Middle At- lantic States was held at Tenjple Uni- versity the latter part of March. This season’s Convention was particularly outstanding in its choice of excellent sjieakers.

Thornton ^lartin. Associate Edi- tor of the “Saturday Evening Post”, delivered an inspiring message to aspiring journalists in which he an- swered (piestions of momentous impor- tance. He outlined his work on tho “Saturday Evening Post” and stress- ed the fact that all contributions, contrary to the belief of many, are read and seriously considered in tho search for new authors. “A Few Thoughts on Newspapers” was the topic discussed by William B, Craig. It was a matter* of fact, in- formative address. “The Trials of a Columnist” was humorously discussed liy Ilermau L. Collins.

Breakfast and dinner will be served on Sunday. The orchestra for the dance has not yet been decided upon, but the girls promise to have a good one and will announce the name at a later date. The committee in charge of the week-end party is headed by Frances Saylor, who is being aided by Jane Stultz and Elinor Emery. The ))rice for the dance on Satur- day night will be seventy-five cents per couple, while the price for the en- tire week-end, including tho dinner, Avill be only !j>1.50. All Y.

Torch Singer Added Pentode Passion, a musical satire presented by the Seniors of 1934, is being offered tonight and tomorrow niglit in the Drexel Auditorium. Tho three act show features an original story and dialogue, in conjunction with music and lyrics written by sen- iors. The show is to be followed by dancing in the Court with music by Paul March and his Ten Midshipmen. The story and dialogue for the re- vue has been written by August W. Muller and Patrick Sheehy and cen- ters about the operation of a radio factory, a field in which many Drexel engineers are experienced, and shows the startling improvements which the young engineer, F. Earnest Shupen- hauser, invokes to create a modern production organization. The tender love scenes between our hard working and ambitious hero and Belinda Bum- stead, the daughter of the organiza- tion’s j)resident, will touch the heart- strings of even the most cynical. Ed- ward Schueneman and James Obrecht are j)aired off in this interesting ejiisode. Coupled with this serious work of manufacturing radi“3 ©f scenes where the workers forget serious self and throwing work to the wind engage in songs and dances. Six- teen men and women form a dancing chorus which brings back remm* brances of former Vanity and Scandal productions. Such sylph-like formi and flying ankles have never graced the boards of Drexel Institute in the past. Another chorus of sixteen men and women offer several tantalizing arrangements of songs which are be- yond words of appreciation. The surprise of the show is the en- gagement of a special feature singer, Pentode, a torch singer who is the toast of the torchiest singers.

The fraternities and the girls failed to co-operate with tho committee. Those who did attend, however, enjoyed dancing to the mu- sic of the radio. It is to bo regretted that those people who ure constantly expressing the desire to meet others fail to take advantage of the opportunities for doing this when it does come their way. Dean Dorsey Addresses Business Women’s Group Aliss Kuth A. L. Dorsey, Dean of Women, was guest speaker at a for- mal dinner held on March 17th in the large recreation room of the First Presbyterian ('hurch of Germantown. -Miss Dorsey spoke to a group of young business women, who are non- (lenominational, from Germantown and tile surrounding towns. The wo- men, nearly a hundred in number, are under the able leadership of Miss Watson who is director of tho Chil- d r e n ’s Bureau and well known throughout the city of IMiiladelphia for such work. In addition to the members, a num- ber of invited guests were inspired i)y the grouji. All were inspired by the group singing which took place during the evening. .Miss Dorsey chose as her topic “Fashions in Thinking”. Her main suggestion was to follow all fashions of thinking but to accept only those which are outstanding. Tho speaker gave an interesting and vivid contrast in the present day woman’s way of thinking with those of yesteryear. All this is a result of psychological ef- fects. Miss Dorsey jjlaced emphasis on queer accepted thinking not only of the women themselves, but of men’s attitude toward women’s present thinking. The Men’s Alumni Smoker, held in the men’s gym, Saturday evening, April 7, proved to be a very enjoy- able affair for all present, including the “grads”, guests, and senior class- men. There were many of the latter |)resent and were heartily welcomed l)y the alumni. F. Arthur Tucker, a member of the class of 1930, was the chairman for the evening. The program included gymnastic exhibitions, a basketball game, and singing. The Germantown V. M. (.'. A. gave a horizontal bar exhibition and a display of tumbling. Huss Bell put on an interesting per- f<irniance called “The Mau on the Flying Trapeze”. A basketball game betwei'n the Knterprise Basktball team, which is coached by Mr Howard Wood, a veteran in professional bask- etball, and the Mount Airy Presby- teiian team, turned out to bo an easy game for tin* professionals. The Drex- el Glee t'lub, under tho direction o£ •Mr. Kdgar M. Welsh, provided tho musical entertainment. Refreshment, featured as a special attraction, woro serv*‘d to make the evening complete. The members of the committee who were responsible for tho success of the smoker were: Walter MacFadyen, Ifalph Connell, Louis Weinberger, George Hill, Jr., F. Arthur Tucker, chairman; A. Harry Wagner, William Stevens, President of the Alumui As- sociation; Eugene Pastoret, and Jack Letherbury. Drexel was represented by its presi- dent, Dr. Kolbe and Dean Stratton, Laurence Mains, and William Bteveus were the faculty members present. After the scheduled entertainment was over, the grads talked until after twelve o’clock about the *^good old days”. The next Uet-together of tlie Alumni will be at the ^um ni picnio^ June 2, at the Drexel Lodge.

This has been dilli- cult to accomplish in view of a re ­duced budget but by careful planning and revision of details, a book tha t is satisfactory in all resi»ects has been assembled.

Kolbe has been forced to discontinue the monthly assemblies conducted on a voluntary at tendance basis for the last two years due to a lack of interest and at tendance dur ­ing the past months. There will be no assemblies in the spring term with the exception of Ins t i tu te Day ac t iv i ­ties.

Due to the unimpressive attendances at our past few assemblies the a u th ­orities have been forced to consider the voluntary a t tendance plan a fail" ure and a t present the re turn to com­pulsory assemblies is being seriously considered. The Board of Directors cannot see the point in spending time, effort, and money to secure noted speakers when the student body shows little or no interest in the p resen ta ­tions. The most obvious solutions lies in making attendance a compulsory duty unless some other worthwhile ]»lan can be evolved.

In the following letter to the Men’s Student Council and to the Women’s Student Government, Dr. Kolbe has presented the whole ])roblem:

April 2, 1934.

To the Student Council andthe Women’s Student Government:1 am very sorry to inform you tha t

lack of student interest and decreas­ing a t tendance at voluntary student assemblies render their fu r ther con­tinuance unjustifiable in view of the fact tha t they entail considerable ex ­pense for the Ins ti tu te . For the ba l ­ance of this college year, therefore, they will be discontinued and the v a ­cant Wednesday hour will be sched­uled for class work.

I am reluctantly forced to the con­clusion th a t the compulsory assembly plan will have to be resumed next year, unless your organizations, repre­senting the s tudent body, can suggest a be t te r plan for encouraging volun ta ry a t tendance than has so fa r been found.

Very truly yours,

(Signed) R. P a rk e Kolbe.

Commuters’ Club Presents Dance

Club Now Open to all W o­men Commuters W ith ­out Payment of Dues as in Previous Years.

The Commuters’ Club will enterta in all commuting men and w’omen a t a dance to be held in the Curtis Hall Gym on Wednesday, April 18th, from four until six o’clock.

This event is the first ac t iv i ty of the Commuters’ Club under its new deal in which all commuting women are to be recognized members of the club during the spring term, with no dues required. I t has been fe l t th a t commuters are suffering from lack of college life due to the ir scat tered residences and during this term, a closer unification of these students will be the aim.

I ’ nder the direction of Margaret Rank, president of the Club, other plans are being made for social events for commuting women which will in ­clude a house-party and several teas throughout the term.

The Commuters’ Club offers a valu­able service to the school in fos ter ­ing unity and school spirit in the diffi­cult si tuat ion where students live at tiu'ir own homes and can spend only a limited period of time in tho associ­ations which form a valuable [>art of college life. All commuting girls are memiters of this organization and are iirgeil to support its work by a t tend ­ing the social activities and the regu­lar meetings which are held every two weeks at noon on Weilnesilays in Room L‘08.

'I'lie Club extends a cordial inv i ta ­tion to all commuting men and women to at tend the dance in the Curtis Hall Gynuiasium next Wednesday a f te r ­noon. The l)rexel ians will provide music for dancing at this lirst activ ity in the Commuters’ Club’s new pro­gram and an interesting af ternoon is assured.

Dean Dorsey has been giving a series of teas for the commuters in order to make these jtlans. Those assisting were: Doris Pe t t i t , Mary Goodman, Mary Doyle, Helen Wil­liams, Elsie Atz, Francis Katchford, Peg Rank, Jessie Ross, and Olga As- santi.

Nomina­tions were held on Wednesday, April 11, at a meeting of all women s tu ­dents when open nominations were tjiken from the student body and the Executive Board presented "its nomi­nees.

Helen Barnard , president of the S tu ­dent Government Association, asked tha t the women show their interes t in self-government by considering the nominees for their abili ty in leader­ship and voting for people whom they feel will be the best officers for the coming year. L is t of nominees have been posted on bulletin boards throughout the school so tha t everyone has an opportunity to see the list of candidates and look up the worth of each.

Proposed changes to the constitution of the Women’s Student Government Association were outlinea a t the meet­ing on Wednesday. These changes will be posted on the bulletin board ;uul should be studied before the election on April 25, at which time the women will vote on them. Ambiguous s ta te ­ments in the constitution have been clarified and unwrit ten customs have been incorporated in the revised con­sti tution for the ease of fu ture ad ­ministrations.

Torch Singer Added

Pentode Passion, a musical satire presented by the Seniors of 1934, is being offered tonight and tomorrow niglit in the Drexel Auditorium. Tho three act show features an original story and dialogue, in conjunction with music and lyrics w rit ten by sen­iors. The show is to be followed by dancing in the Court with music by Paul March and his Ten Midshipmen.

The story and dialogue for the re ­vue has been writ ten by August W. Muller and P a tr ick Sheehy and cen­ters about the operation of a radio factory, a field in which many Drexel engineers are experienced, and shows the s tart l ing improvements which the young engineer, F. Earnest Shupen- hauser, invokes to create a modern production organization. The tender love scenes between our hard working and ambitious hero and Belinda Bum- stead, the daughter of the organiza­tion’s j)resident, will touch the hea r t ­strings of even the most cynical. E d ­ward Schueneman and Jam es Obrecht are j)aired off in this in teres ting ejiisode.

Coupled with th is serious work of manufacturing rad i“3 ©f scenes where the workers forget serious self and throwing work to the wind engage in songs and dances. Six­teen men and women form a dancing chorus which brings back rem m * brances of former Vanity and Scandal productions. Such sylph-like form i and flying ankles have never graced the boards of Drexel Ins t i tu te in the past. Another chorus of sixteen men and women offer several tanta liz ing arrangements of songs which are be­yond words of appreciation.

The surprise of the show is the en ­gagement of a special feature singer, Pentode, a torch singer who is the toast of the torchiest singers. John Poulin comes forth to present a hot number in truly hot stylo and his

Dean Dorsey Addresses Business Women’s Group

Aliss Kuth A. L. Dorsey, Dean of Women, was guest speaker at a fo r ­mal dinner held on March 17th in the large recreation room of the First Presbyterian ('hurch of Germantown. -Miss Dorsey spoke to a group of young business women, who are non- (lenominational, from Germantown and tile surrounding towns. The wo­men, nearly a hundred in number, are under the able leadership of Miss Watson who is director of tho Chil­dren’s Bureau and well known throughout the city of IMiiladelphia for such work.

In addition to the members, a num­ber of invited guests were inspired i)y the grouji. All were inspired by the group singing which took place during the evening.

.Miss Dorsey chose as her topic “ Fashions in Thinking”. Her main suggestion was to follow all fashions of thinking but to accept only those which are outstanding. Tho speaker gave an interes ting and vivid contrast in the present day woman’s way of th inking with those of yesteryear. All this is a result of psychological e f ­fects. Miss Dorsey jjlaced emphasis on queer accepted th inking not only of the women themselves, but of men’s at t i tude toward women’s present thinking.

The Men’s Alumni Smoker, held in the men’s gym, Saturday evening, April 7, proved to be a very enjoy­able affair for all present, including the “grads”, guests, and senior class­men. There were many of the la t te r |)resent and were heart ily welcomed l)y the alumni.

F. Arthur Tucker, a member of the class of 1930, was the chairman for the evening. The program included gymnastic exhibitions, a basketball game, and singing. The Germantown V. M. (.'. A. gave a horizontal bar exhibition and a display of tumbling. Huss Bell put on an interesting per- f<irniance called “ The Mau on the Flying Trapeze”. A basketball game betwei'n the Knterprise Basktball team, which is coached by Mr Howard Wood, a veteran in professional bask ­etball, and the Mount Airy Presby- te iian team, turned out to bo an easy game for tin* professionals. The Drex­el Glee t 'lub, under tho direction o£ •Mr. Kdgar M. Welsh, provided tho musical enter tainment . Refreshment, featured as a special a t traction, woro serv*‘d to make the evening complete.

The members of the committee who were responsible for tho success of the smoker were: Walter MacFadyen, Ifalph Connell, Louis Weinberger, George Hill, Jr ., F. Arthur Tucker, chairman; A. Harry Wagner, William Stevens, President of the Alumui As­sociation; Eugene Pastore t , and Jack Letherbury.

Drexel was represented by its presi­dent, Dr. Kolbe and Dean Stratton, Laurence Mains, and William Bteveus were the faculty members present.

A fter the scheduled enterta inm ent was over, the grads ta lked until a f te r twelve o’clock about the *^good old days”. The next Uet-together of tlie Alumni will be a t the ^ u m n i picnio^ June 2, a t the Drexel Lodge.

Assemblies Again

Th e whole i)robI(*in of monthly assornblies lias now b»*(*n placed entirely in the hands of the Student Council and th(* Women’s Student (ioveniment in the recent letter from Dr.

Kolbe. The school authorities have been forced to discontiiuie the monthly assemblies in the Spring term, since the interest last term was entirely lacking. When well-known and even expensive speakers had been engaged the student turnouts were limited to a few men and women. It was ruled that the expense of entertaining speakers for the benefit of only a few was wasteful, and until the problem could be solved in some sensible way the assemblies woidd be abandoned.

Unfortunately, the most obvious solution to the whole problem is to return to compulsory assemblies, the practice which had been adhered to before the entrance of Dr. Kolbe to the office of presi­dent. In fact, Dr. Kolbe threatens to return to that plan unless the

^tudent ortfaniz^ations can present a program which would insure / student interest in the future. Dr. Kolbe is personally interested

in continuing some plan which will not necessarily involve com­pulsory attendance, but he must be convinced that the student body will take a reasonable interest in future programs.

The two student governing bodies are confronted with a prob­lem which must necessarily be solved unless the student body wishes to be treated as if it were too young to appreciate the pro­grams and hence has to be herded in and forced against their will to attend events which intelligent people would naturally attend. The attendance of one monthly assembly for one hour would cer­tainly not deprive anyone of too much of their valuable time. In fact, if five hundred people attended each assembly it would mean that each individual would only have to attend every other pro­gram, and that would mean the contribution of about four hours in each year. That is certainly not too much to ask and there should be no necessity for resorting to compulsory procedure to insure the attendance.

Intramural Sports

Th e completion of the recent foul shooting contest conducted by the Athletic Department under the leadership of Coach Walter Halas has marked another step in the successful

creation of interest in intranuiral sports at Drexel Institute. Within the last tM'o years Coach Halas and his competent staff have done much in developing the field of intramural sports, and they should be commended on their splendid action. During the foul shooting contest more men have responded to the call for entrees than ever before. In fact, the time for the contest had to be extended in order to accommodate the many contestants who reported to shoot their baskets. The turnout was very gratifying and presents a promising future.

The development of intramural sports at Drexel is an excellent and definite step in the creation of a general interest in athletic competition among the men who ordinarily would not enter into the sport field. Many of the men whose alibi for not turning out for the various Dragon teams is that they live too far away from the school or that they are too busily engaged in studies to attend regular practices each day are enabled to engage in some athletic competition through the creation of an intramural feeling of com­petition. The basic idea of the Physical Education Department in the sponsoring of intramural sports was to create a field of activity for just these men, and we feel that they have succeeded very well within the last year.

Another factor which has done much to foster this plan and which has done much to add that sense and feeling of competition and life which necessarily accompanies any competition is the organization of fraternity leagues in various sports through the co-operation of the Interfraternity Council. The Interfraternity Basketball League has functioned successfully for many years, but this year the addition of touch football, baseball and track prom­ises to perform wonders in furthering that feeling of friendly rivalry which makes the several fraternities on the campus such worthwhile groups.

Regardless of the person or organization responsible we especially feel that furthering of intramural sport engagements is one of the most comnumdable extra-curricular activities at Drexel. More men are made aware of the benefits of physical competition and tor those who are aware but not of the tip-top caliber, this is a fine outlet for their desires for entering into competition with men from other groui)s.

Furthermore, aside from the personal gratifications and benefits derived, there is a definite contribution to Drexel in the creation of a finer and stronger school spirit. There is nothing like co­operation on a team to develop that feeling that there is sonu*thing m working together for a common cause and striving as hard as it 18 humanly possible to attain a given goal. It is because we feel that through engaging in intramural sports better Drexel men are made we wish to commend the Athletic Staf¥ and the Intorfra- ternity Council for their respective parts in that work. May we have more of it.

The Oreen Bay Tree, by MordauntMhairp.

H a v e you ever l is tened to a play, feel ing th a t the inev i tab le would a p ­proach and ye t hoping th a t , perhaps , the conclusion you have planned migh t miraculously occur? T h a t is just the s t r a te g y u nde r which I witnessed “ The Green P a y Tree .” I fe lt t h a t i f the plot did not t e r m in a t e in the m a n ­ner t h a t I ha<i p lann ed t h a t I should t ea r down on the p la t fo rm and make short of the acto rs and the accom­pan y in g actress . Fo r tu n a te ly , my plan mate r i a l iz ed wi th the resul t th a t I made my exi t f rom the Broad T h e a ­ter qui te ju b i l a n t and thor ou ghly s a t i ­a ted.

“ The Green Bay Tre e" is qu i te an unusual play to say the least. The them e is a s t r an g e one in which p s y ­chology plays a l ead ing role. I t o f ­fers a fine s tu d y of the ent i cem en t of luxury, so f tne ss and weakn ess of will.

The s to ry cen te rs a round a cer ta in Mr. Dulcimer, an indiv idua l w i th e x ­qu is i te manne rs , and his t remend ous fight to m a in t a in his dom inanc e over a y o u n g w a r d — his fos te r son. He saved . lul ian from the squalor of a small town and the l ackada is ica l care of a d r u n k e n f jv ^ e r and placed him in the lap of luxury. But , . Jul ian’s posi t ion is ne ver qu i te secure a n d he e n te r t a in s a co n s tan t conflict w i th in himself . . lu l ian fa l ls m ad ly in love wi th a lady v e te r in a r i an . “ D ulcy” is horri fied. But , he p e rvades w i th pa t ie nce and a l t hou gh the conflict w ave rs be tw een .Jul ian and the girl, and J u l i a n and his soul, in the end “ Dul cy” is all t r iu m p h a n t . As he fades f ro m the pi cture , J u l i a n s t ands r e ad y to t a k e his place. I n the final scone, a r e m a rk ab le c h a ra c t e r and psv- chological s tudy , we find Ju l i an , the pe r fec t Dulcimer.

Pa u l M cGra th is excel lent in his i n te r p r e ta t io n of Dulcimer. R o be rt W al l s t en is a b i t too ef feminate , a l ­though on the whole his role of .Julian is well p o r t rayed . M a r y Arsenz, as J u l i a n ’s sw ee th ea r t , fulfil’ls her l imi ted p a r t ve ry well.

The l imited lloor-space also i )roved to be a facto r which nece ss i ta ted a high- b r a n d of co-operation in order to run the contest off smoothly.

Each e n t r a n t took tw e n ty consecu­t iv e t h rows each da y unt i l he had «hot the required s ixty. The five highes t ind iv idua l scores en te red the finals. Two five-men t eam s which had th e highes t scores in the indiv idua l sh oo t ing were en te red in the finalsalso, , , . ,

R efer r in g to imm edia te needs. Dr. Kolhc Itelioves t h a t the In s t i tu t e flhnuld seek nt least $1,000,000 in un- rostr ic tod endo wmen t now and an ad- di t ionnl ♦1,000,000 in five years , to improve bu t not enla rge the aeope of work.

A t ten t io n is also cal led to the needs for a new bui lding, or an add i t ion to the presen t plan t , to house the Drexel L ib ra ry , the School of L ib ra ry (Science, and the va lu ab le collect ions in the Art Oal lpry and Museums.

L arge r gy m nas iu m space for men and women is a n o th e r im p o r t a n t need.

Dr. Kolbe looks back over the past year of his stwardship and rcalls the formulation and adoption by the Faculty Council of a plan of decen­tralization of administra tion; the establishment o(f the Alexander Van Rensselaer Lectureship; the inaugura­tion of the “Open House” observance, the insti tution of annual vocational conferences in the spring; the adop­tion of a comprehensive physical tra in ing plan for men (intramural athletics) .

The formation of a Faculty Club and the development of a definite plan of faculty retirement are urged in the report.

Dr. Kolbe points out, in conclu­sion, th a t an educational institution cannot live from day to day, or from year to year, w ithout a comprehen­sive program so constructed as to plot a course of action for a t least a few decades.

Looking ahead 25 or 30 years, Dr. Kolbe sees the main Drexel p lant un ­moved from its present central loca­tion. He believes th a t a decision to

CO-ED SPORTS

(C ontinued from P age 3, Ool. 3)

The bowmen headed by Mary Mac- Vean will take the ir place before th e ta rg e t in Drexel competition.

■ f te swimmers have been for tunate in securing the U niversity of P e n n ­sylvania’s swimming pool a t Weight- man Hall, and although there will be no team this year, Drexel sent sev­eral mermaids to Temple for their aquatic contests last night.

On May 17 a Field Day is scheduled at Drexel for all spring sports includ­ing track, archery, rifle and tennis. I t is the big major spring event and is looked forward to a t the Ins ti tu te by all a thletic competitors. As in previous years , awards will be made to those achieving the highest num­ber of points during the course of the program.

th a t end should be reached, to remove all doubt and speculation, and, in con­nection with such a decision, a sur­vey should be made to determine the economical use of the present plant and the possible fu ture acquisition of adjoining structures.

In discussing the proposed new Cen­ter for the education of Drexel wo­men, Dr. Kolbe’s report says:

“As a first step a suitable building should be constructed on the plot now partly occupied by the Sarah Drexel Van Rensse aer Dormitory, in accord­ance with the a rch i tec t’s original plan, in w'hich could be housed the entire School of Home Economics. In add i­tion those classes in secretarial work which are in effect limited entirely to women could be conducted a t the Wo­men’s Center. For certain subjects these women might still have to a t ­tend classes in the present In s ti tu te buildings, but such a more would re ­lieve the present plant of about four hundred students, in so fa r as the majority of the ir work were con­cerned. I t would make available the space they now occupy for the other schools of the In s ti tu te and thus im­prove conditions greatly for both teaching and research in engineering, business administra tion and library training. Needless to say, the wo­men thus removed to the new Center would enjoy improved modern labora ­tory facili ties, as well as the conveni­ence of a dormitory immediately ad ­jacen t to the ir place oif study. While such a plan would not rigidly segre­gate men and w'omen, nor destroy the co-educational basis upon which the Ins ti tu te was founded, i t would in e f ­fect set up separate teaching units for men and for women, w ithout barr ing either from attendance in mixed classes when necessary.”

Regarding the possibilit ies of in ­creasing space by additional construc­tion on the present site Dr. Kolbe lists the possibilities as follows:

“LTtilization of the vacan t lot east of Curtis Hall fo r a new’ building.

“Construction of several additional stories on Curtis Hall.

“ Erection of a considerable tower structure above the Great Court of the Main Building. A rchitects assure me th a t th is could be done without in any way spoiling the appearance or usefulness in the Court itself.”

Even though the team will suffer by the loss of such men. Coach Leon­ard believes th a t Graham, Layton and Hoffman, sophomores, who worked out with the team in the ir freshman year, will be able to “come through” and take the place of those out in indus­try.

While there are many sophomores try ing to win berths on the team, it is impossible to judge the ir abilities so early in the season. With the as ­sistance of these men, perhaps i t will not be a surprise if Leonard does pro­duce another top-notch aggregation.

The Coach expressed his apprecia­tion of compulsory physical elucation which had a great influence on b ring ­ing out a g rea t number of Frosh of excellent calibre.

Plans are under way to stage an ­other tournament. Every man in col­lege is eligible to enter his name. Last year, the first tournam ent was held, both in singles and doubles, and the venture proved to be very success­ful. Trophies were awarded to the winners and runneres-up by President Kolbe.

Even though the courts are still in a condition which makes playing im ­possible, the various aspirants for the team are practicing indoors, with the object in mind of “ ta k ing” Villanova next week.

men who hope to receive mound as ­signments include Townsend, Mason, Plummer, Poisher and Kazmerczyk.

The catching is in a deplorable con­dition with Captain Myron Fleming carrying the burden until Charlie Knnpp is available. Since Bob Link had the nail of his finger torn off by a foul tip there is a dearth of material in the backstop position. I f FU'ming should be incapacita ted J im Reynolds, uti li ty man, would take the place behind the bat.

The initial sack is well covered by Joe Rhile of last year’s frosh team; Tanny Ralston, a veteran of several seasons, is at second: Fred Piper has improved immensely and is stationed at short; while Tippin is laboring a t third with a sore arm. I f Tippin should not be able to s ta r t tomorrow against Cornell, Reynolds will prob­ably be at the hot corner.

H arry Fox, of last year’s Freshman team, seems to be the best center- fielder since Ralph Robinson. Fox is extremely fas t and has a strong arm. Sam Potter , who is out in industry, will be a t his old post in le ft field when the first Osteopath comes to bat, while J im Reynolds will patrol right field, ^

Cziner, Duffard and Matulis are u ti l i ty infielders, while Sivolsi and Alfonse are doing their best to dis­place the combination in the outfield.

Halas is hopeful o f having one of the best fielding teams in the history of Drexel and if the pitching comes through the boys should cause plenty of trouble for the opposition.
