Women’s Glee Club Plan Competitive Programs

The T)rc*xe1 Women’s Glco Clult, un ­der tlie fliioftion of Mr. William Tliiin- <lcr, is ]tlHnning a song propram to ho hrnadfast some time in Marcli. The Clul) has a membersliip of about fifty girls at present; and, through the di ­rector's efl'orts, a well balanced chorus lias been the result.

This a[»proachiiig broadcast is one of a series of comj»etitive programs to be jiresented this spring. The Club, Air. Thunder assures us, lias a very good chance of winning one of tlie several prizes offered.

The program will consist of a num- l)er of light operatic selections, and semi-classical numbers designed to please some tyjtes of music lovers. Miss Margaret Corliss will accompany the Club. So listen in when the broad- ast is announced, and send in your ;ote for the Drexel Glee Club.

Dr. Michail Dorizas, geographer, traveler, lecturer, and world famous athlete, will sjiealc to Drexel students next Wednesday, February 12, in the auditorrum.

Dr. Dorizas will discuss the “ Modern Euroi)e;in Situation.” lie will try to show the national j)oliciea of various Euro])can countries i)y considering their geographic background. “ The Italo-Ethiopian affair,” says Dr. Don- zas, “ is sinqily a boil coming to a head.”

“Mike,” as he is affectionately call­ed l»y a ho.st of friends, has been around the world three times, lie has visited every jtojiulated country of the world. H e ‘has seen art and studied the peo]iles and customs of the Balk ­ans, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lai)lanB, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Siberia, China, India, .Iai)an, Algeria, Aus­tralia , New Zealand, East Africa, South and Xortli America and many others. Dr. Dorizas has an abundance of strength. On the banks of the Caspian he fought for his life with liis bare hands; in Persia he braved the deadlv peril of smallpox; and the to r ­rid hieat of tlie Jav a Sea has caused him to be l)urned black. When asked why he did so many things and travel ­led so extensively, he rejtlied very m a tte r of fact ly, “ I wanted to see for myself before I undertook to teach.I wanted to know and feel and .iudge at first hand tha t which 1 read in textbooks.”

Dr. Dorizas’ athletic record is an enviable one. At the age of eighteen, while a student at Roberts College, Constantinople, he made a world’s record in the javelin throw. He was later a rej tresentative on the Greek Olympic teams for three years run­ning. As an advancd student at the University of Pennsylvania, this amaz- ing person broke all records in the annual strength tests. He amassed a total of points; the a t ta inmentof this figure Avas never before dream­ed of and has never again been equal­ed. Dr. Dorizas won varsity letters in football, t rack and wrestling.

Dr. Dorizas is a scholar as w'ell as an athlete. He studied at Roberts College, Constantinople, later at the University of Penn.sylvania. He is master of five languages: English, Greek, Turkish, French, and Ancient Greek. Dr. Dorizas was granted his Ph.D. by the University of Pennsyl­vania. Since the close of the World War, he has been ])rofessor of Eco­nomic Geography in the Wharton School.

When the Great War broke out. Dr. Dorizas was one of the first to go over. When the Armistice was sign­ed, he was summoned to the Peace ( ’onference at Paris. He was placed on the American section of the In te r ­nat ional Commission on Mandates in Turkey as geographic and linguistic expert.

Dr. Dorizas is a Greek by blood. He was born in Constantino|)ie, where his fa ther was first secretary of the Greek legation. He started his travell ing career very early in life. All his be­longings were carried on his back. At the age of seventeen he went into Rus­sia despite the dilliculties encountered with the Russian authorities. In the course of his travels, Dr. Dorizas has found certain characteristics to bo true of the people of various coun­tries. For instance, he says, “The French are the most j)olite peoiile, but they don’t always mean it. The J a p ­anese are the most cleanly ))eople and the Mongols are the dirtiest. “ Knglish ollicers,” he claims, “are the most cour­ageous.” When asked where the Amer­ican i)eoi>le stand, Dr. Dorizas said, “ Americans are the most generous, prosperous and least progressive.”

Dr. Dorizas holds a <lis|»assionato viewpoint on most subjects. lie travels

. with a broad outlook and with sym­pathy and unders tanding for the cus­toms of people he visits. He is sinn)le, gentle, and delightful. A modern Her­cules, he is a present day examjile of the heroes of old, who made the Hel­lenic peninsula famous in song and story.

Tiiis famous man has a keen insight into men and national and in te rna ­tional affairs. His speech is forceful and energetic.

Y.M.C.A. Plans Full Program

Table Tennis Tournament; Court Dance Wednes­day; and Valentine Day Dance

Football season being %vell complet­ed, and the baaketeers in their prime, another strenuous sport makes its bid for popularity among Y. M. C. A. members—the game of ping-pong! I t has been the yearly policy of the “Y” to unearth the champion among its members, and to offer worthy laurels, in the form of a prize cup. Last year, the tournament saw a close contest, ])roviding much interest . P lans for this year’s contest are being made with the help of Mr. Roy Gibson. All members of the “ Y” are invited to carry off' the cup.

The coming Wednesday, February 12, will see another offering by the “Y”—a court dance, sponsored in con­junction with the girls of the Y. W. (’. A. Music will ring from 4 till S.IJO in the court. May the dance be en ­joyed.

Such news of “ Y” doings brings to mind the foruni meetings provided by tha t group and its companion organ­izations, Y. W. C. A. and Young Friends’ Association,—meetings w’hich are proving of deep interest this year to a number of students. Mr. Rufus Jones has spoken; the capable, active Jesse Holmes of Swarthmore has ad ­dressed the group; and the past Wed­nesday’s group heard Robert Mac­Leod. These men have filled their hours with meaning for many. For their presence these organizations de­serve a note of gratitude.

But, should it be forgotten, still an ­other festival on the very near hori­zon—the Valent ine Day dance— ema­nates from the “ Y”. I t is to be offered to everyone, with free admi.ssion to members of the organization, with their guests.

The “ Y” has been working not only in the present, but quite w'ell into the future, it would seem. The new D- book and the contemporary freshman encampment are likewise being pre ­pared.

Drexel to Debate WithU.ofPenna.

Vlr. R. V. Giles is A.S.C.E. SpeakerTopic of First Meeting to

be On Design of Water Supply of St. Petersburg

Ever .since the Homans laboriously built massive stone acpu'ducts, whirh took yeais to constriirt, to tiansport water from the Alps to the cities in the plains below, man has ii ttemptcd tc find the best and most economical method for transport ing water. Mod­ern engineeiing, with specialization n hydraulics, has brought many lianges in this field.

The terrain suirounding St. Peters- )urg, Florida, has offered many jtrob-

lems to t ngineers a t tem pting to bring water into the city. During the late December of 11)29, the Ilazen, Everett, ind Pirnie Sanitary Consulting Engi­neei ing ('ompany was given a con­tract to supply the city with w'ater. Other companies offered bids on the job, but this comi)any was able to do th f work at ha lf the cost tha t was suggested by the others, for the sum of $3,2.50,0(10, and i»romised to be able to furnish 14,000,000 gallons per day in the very short time of ten months.

Ill charge of construct ion and su- [)ervision of design in the capacity of resident engineer was Mr. R. V. Giles, now Assistant Professor of Civil E n ­gineering at Drexel Ins ti tute . TheA. S. C. E. is privileged to present Professor Giles a t its first meeting in the win ter term. He will speak on the “DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TH E ST. PETERSBURG WATER SUPPLY .”

Professor Giles w'as graduated from Wesleyan Univers ity w’ith a Bachelor of Science degree. La te r he took hisB.S. in Civil Engineering at M. I .T. From there he went to Brooklyn Poly­technic In s t i tu te as instructor in Civil Engineering. l ie le ft Brooklyn Polytechnic In s t i tu te to become as­s istant engineer for Hazen and Whip­ple ( later Ilazen, Everet t , and P i r ­nie), and remained in their services until he came to Drexel.

This meeting should be of in terest to students in Civil Engineering, and all are cordially invited to attend. The meeting will be held in the P ic ­ture Gallery on Wednesday, February 12 at 8.00 p. in.

Those who are interested in joining the junior membership of the A. S.C. E. are invited to bring with them the registra tion fee of two dollars. Mr. P i t t inger w'ill have the cards a t the meeting.

“Shall Congress Over-rule the Supreme Court?” To be Heard on Air Tonight

The Radio Debate to be given by the Drexel Debating Society will be broadcast over Station WTP this even­ing, from 10.0.") to 10.4.1. Drexel will del)ate with the T'niversity of P enn ­sylvania on the (jucstion: “That Con­gress shall have the ]»ower by a 2/3 vote to over-rule decisions of the Su­preme Caurt declaring acts of Con­gress unconstitutional .’’ The debaters have been prej'aring this debate for several weeks and the success of the performance is assured.

Every student and member of the faculty is urged to tune their radios to station W IP on Friday. Dr. Ilall has been working with the group in order tha t a good demonstration of debating be giv. n at this time. The timely topic on the (luestion of Con- grf'ss should prove of interest, esj)ec- ially to those who are reading the papers ,just now concerning the con­st i tutionali ty of acts of Congress.

Drexel met Ursinus on the same question last Wednesday at Colleg^>-

Gold Key to Give Dance in Gym

Tonight’s Informal Affair to Climax Dragon Vic­tory Over F. & M.

Tonight marks the second in a se­ries of informal dances sponsored by Drexel’s newest organization, the Gold Key Society. This evening’s dance will take place in Curtis Hall Gym­nasium immediately following the game with F rankl in and Marshall College.

These informal dances are an a t ­tempt by the Gold Key organization to st imulate a bet ter feeling of fe l ­lowship among the students, and to extend the hospitali ty of the school to visit ing teams. This important phase of our school life has long been neglected a t Drexel. Through the e f ­for ts of Gold Key this faul t is being remedied.

The first dance given by this group, following the Brooklyn-Poly game, was well received by the Dragon rooters. The indications for tonight are tha t the gym w'ill be well crowd­ed with a host of rabid fans w'ho are out to see a winning Drexel team con­tinue its winning w'ays.

^'here will be a slight charge for to ­n igh t’s dance. Admission will be tw*enty-five cents per man, while the women will be admitted free of any pecuniary encumbrance. The third, and most likely the last dance of the season, will be presented by Gold Key following the Lebanon Valley tussle. I t is hoped tha t these dances w'ill prove of some benefit to the students in becoming better acquainted and in part ic ipating in the social life of Drexel.

Harvey Harman to Speak at “Y” Banquet MondayThe long awaited Y. M. C. A. ban­

quet will be held on Monday evening, February 17, in the Men’s Grill. H a r ­vey Harman, U. of P. football coach, will be the guest speaker for the a n ­nual att'air, which is given for the purpose of acquainting the freshmen with the other members of their class.

This yea r’s banquet is being plan ned by a committee appointed from the Y. M. C. A. board. John B. Mc­Cracken, a member of the freshman class, is chairuiflii of the committee while Don Herr, juominent senior, will be toastmaster at the banquet.

Dr. S tratton, Coach Halas, and sev­eral other prominent faculty members will also deliver speeches. All fresh­men are invited to at tend. The price will be r>()c per person.

Two prominent members of the in ­dustrial world have been elected to the Board of Trustees of Drexel Ins t i ­tute, according to a recent announce­ment by A. J. Drexel Paul, jtresident of the Bojird. They are William i l . Irish, president of the Atlantic Refin­ing Company, and Robert F. Runge, yice-]>residen1 of S.K.P\ Industries and a graduate of Drexel Insti tute ,

Mr. Runge enrolled in Drexel af ter s))onding a year and a half in indus­try following his graduation from high school in 1!KI2. He was graduated from the Mechanical Arts course in 1906. He received employment in the engineering department of the Hess- Bright Manufacturing Comi)any imme­diately U])on graduation through the efforts of the school employment ser­vice. His entire business career has l>een with this company, and w'ith the S.K.F. Industr ies whicii took over the

Hess-P>right ('ompany in 1917-18. Ris­ing by ra]tid stages, ^Ir. Runge was tinaliy ('locted vice-president in 1!)20 , and also president and director of .\ t las Ball Company.

Till' election of Mr. Irish brings to Drexel’s Board of Trustees a rei>re- sentative of another gre:it industry. Ills entire business career has been spent in tlu' jjetroleum industry. He was graduati'd from Conn'll Univer­sity in 18‘)0 with the degree of Bach­elor of Science in Chemistry, and be­gan his career with the Acme Oil Com­pany at Olean, New York.

Discussion of Problems Presented by Mr. Eckles

Beta Sigma Tau Hears Talk on the

Difficulties Elncountered by Com­

mercial Teacher

Mr. (i. Preston Eckels, Philadelphia Manager of the (iregg Publishing Company, past president of tho East ern Commercial Teachers Association, and former professor in the Univer sity of Pit tsburgh, spoke at the meet­ing of Beta Sigma Tau on .Monday evening, February 8 .

The topic of Mr. Eckles’ address was “Some Problems of the Commer­cial Teacher.” He spoke from his own experience as a teacher and a high school princi|)al. Mr. Eckles emjdia sized the great importance of teacher personality. An understanding sym pathy witii the students has more last ing value than a complete knowledge of the details of subject matter. The new functional method of teaching shorthand, which has been developed within th e last two years and is now being tried in 600 schools, was ex plained by Mr. Eckles. Questions were raised and problems discussed af ter the talk and refreshments were serv­ed by the club.

Usual Dance to be Replaced by Supper

Dance. Nelson Nomads and Band to

Furnish Music

Now that plans for the winter dor­mitory formal have been completed, even down to the names of the guests of honor, we liojie you commuters and dorm residents liave taken advantage of the fact tha t i t ’s leap year and tha t February 14, the date of the dance, is Valentine’s Day and have already got your date. The living room of the dormitory, where you will dance, is to be decorated to carry out the Valent ine’s Day theme. Due to pojiular request, we have engaged Nelson’s Nomads to l)lay for the danc­ing from y to 1. A pleasant in ter ­lude planned from 11 to 12 is a buffet supper, where you will replenish your appetite. Still another feature of the formal is a hu ky number dance. These two at tract ions have never been en ­joyed at a dorm dance before and for the small tax of .$1.25 a coujde. We can assure the at tending crowd a very enjoyable and enterta ining evening. L e t ’s see the commuters turn out as whole-heartedly as the dorm residents.

The committee made up of Doris Goforth, Peggy Aston, Eleanor Spen­cer, Betty Wolfe, and Lou Volker have secured as guests of honor: Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Stratton, Miss R. A. L. Dorsey, Captain Harris, Miss Hainer, Miss Hague, Miss Schiiieder, Miss (iordon, .Mrs. Williams, ,and Air. and Mrs. Wagenseller.

Merchandising Students Plan Own Organization

Grace Jefferson Chosen to Head Con­stitution Committee; Plan to Have Prominent Speakers

In order to develop e.Ktra curricular activities which will be of benefit to them in the ir })resent scholastic courses and future careers, women merchandising students are planning an organization to meet these aims. The first meeting of the group was held Wednesday, February o, in the women’s lounge. Luncheon was serv­ed to the twenty-five women who will be members of the club.

An informal discussion followed the luncheon and plans for future ac t iv i ­ties were suggested. (Jrace .Jefferson, who has been the most active worker toward organization, was elected chairman of a committee to draw up a ('4»nstitution. Other committee members are Betty Mitchell, Marjorie Chambers, and Alarie McAllister.

The club is especially interested in arranging meetings at which buyers, fashion authorities, and others promi­nent ia the merchandising field will lie guest speakers, i.a ter in the year several fashion sh(»ws will be pre­sented which will bo open to all Dre.xel students.

Miss (Uiapman, of the Home Eco­nomics school, and Mr. Soulberger of tln» co-(tperative department have ex­pressed the ir willingness to aid the club and it will be with their ass ist­ance tha t fu ture act ivities of the club will be plttiuied.

“ American Frontiers” is the topic of the next student Foriim, to be held •Monday, Feb. 10th, at 12 nooa, in the Women’s Lounge. The speaker will be Mr. Clarence E. Pickett.

Mr. Picliett comes from the middlo we.«t and was educated at Penn Col­lege, Oskaloosa, Iowa, and Hartford Theological Seminary. He was en­gaged in the local work of the Society of Friends in Toronto, Canada, and in Oskaloosa, Iowa, later being secretary for tlie“ Young Friends .Movement throughout the United States. From H>21 until 192!) he occupied the chair of Biblical Litera ture at Earlham Col­lege, iiichiiiond, Indiana.

There are few .Americans who have had the opportunity of seeing Europe as has Mr. Pickett, lie has been asso- ciiited with the work of tin* American Friends in Europe since the days of the war relief in lf)17. Since 1929 ho has been Executive Secretary of tho organization which represents (Quakers in the* I'ni ted States in co­operation with English Friends. Their work is to seek in ternational under­standing and the solution of jirobleins at home by Christian id(‘als. .Mr. P ick ­ett has b(‘en instrumental in bringing jibout local relief in the coal towns of West Virginia. Through his coopera­tion and that of .Mr. Bernard Waring, relief has been brought to seventeen counties in West Virginia and eastern and wi-stern Kentucky. Mr. P icke tt was called into tho soft coal oaturpriso because of the »*.\perience of tho Amer­ican Friends’ Service Committee ia feeding the s tarving children iii Ger­many in 1920.

.Mr. Pickett is well acquainted with the reconstruction and educational projects tha t have been developed— among unemployed miners. He is a student of the methods of violent and non-violent means of handling dis­putes between races, nations, and con­flicting industrial groups. Mr. P icke tt is married and lives with his wife and daughters at Moylan.

Farcical

50M ETH ING should be done to those men who so williyiglij send the youth of a country to war— something as ridicu­lous as the fate they prescribe for others.

Possibly it could be arranged that they cheer the boys on. The non-participants have often said they would gladly fight i f they were able. The 7iext best thing to fighting, then, is to let them lend their moral support.

This means that our ivars icill have to be better organized. If we are to have a cheering section*we must arrange a definite schedule of battles so that the “ole boys*’ can follotv the local army. It should not be extremely difficult to accomplish this feat.

First, tve must organize the nations into a “big ten” con­ference. The commanders, or captains of each army will meet every year to arrange the schedules for the wars of the next year. This will eliminate such mistakes as scheduling a battle in Ethiopia during the rainy season. Everyone knows that con­tests do not draw well when the weather is inclement. Or per­haps in case of rain, the promoters can issue raifichecks.

The next thing for each country to do is to see that it has a certain number of battles on the home field each year. This will insure the popularity of the war game and keep the fans interested in the local army. We ca7i be assured that the pro­moters will do their share in keeping the public interested in the game of war. We shall see such posters as: “Today, at Municipal Stadium, U. S. Marines vs. II Duce's All Stars, re­served seats now on sale”; or “The Jewish Reserves vs. the Nazis’ J. F ’s.”

A fter a definite schedule has been arranged, it will be neces­sary to elect cheerleaders, or diplomats as they are known to most people. It will be their duty to lead all cheers, and attend all battles at home and abroad. This will undoubtedly bolster up Oie morale of the boys on the field, who are out to die for their country. Of course we shall have trainers, and water carriers.

With the new system the' smaller countries may get a fair deal because naturally there will be paid officials supervising each battle. It will be their duty to see that each conflict is fought fairly. Such actions as cutting off arms and legs, goug­ing out eyes, and decapitation will be termed fouls. The penalty for this will doubtless be a severe one.

There are a few more details to be worked out as yet, such as the concessions on refreshment booths, but they are details. The bulk of the plan is complete. It is perhaps sufficiently ridiculous to show the fallacies of war.

Do Something

5TUDENTS of Drexel have long been cognizant of the fact that there are several conditions the school which should be remedied.

The President of Women’s Student Government recently called a meeting of the Executive Board and the presidents of ivomen's organizations. The problems brought before this group are of interest to the whole student body and should merit its consideration.

Presidents of organizations and chairmen of committees know of the confusion and conflicts which ensue when a number of meetings are called at the m me time—specifically, Wednes­days from 1 2 untd 2 . We all realize that some sort of solution should be found to remedy this situation, insofar as it is possible.

A stranger entering Drexel for the first time is struck by the extreme untidiness of the bulletin board. A scrap of paper here — a yellow sheet there — scribbling — one tack holding a sheet — notices in incorrect places — are some of the defects in our bulletin board which need correcting.

I uurnder how many of us u'oidd extend invitations to a group to partake of our hospitality, and at the appointed hour deliberately absent ourselves from the festivities. Or, if we ivere present, would we be so lacking in social etiquette as to permit our guests to stand around without making an attempt 16 introduce them, or to see that they enjoyed themselves? Of course you will all ansu'er an emphatic “No.” Then why should orgayiizations sponsoring a Court Dance at Drexel display such a lack of responsibility towards the students who accept their public invitatiiui to spend a social hour at their expense?

Every s(» often certain individuals of a group will suddenly deem it nec­essary to prove their vir ili ty l»y the propagation of a hirsute growth on tha t area of the physiognomy com­monly bounded by the nasal append­age and the upper labial organ.

To many of us this collection of ha ir—known commonly as the mous­tache, proves a source of endless amusement; nor do we, who laugh, stop to think tha t this power to raise whiskers of any sort is pract ically the only thing ieft tha t Man can do and Woman cannot.

Women of torlay feel as much at home in a smoking car or with a foot on the brass rail as do the men. They tly airplanes, play golf—and sad to say—swear nearly as fluently as the lowly Man. They become busi­ness magnates, own racing stables, and even affect men’s clothing.

liUT—except for a s tray individual, man is the sole member of his species who can s]iort a lordly moustache.

In times long past, men tiaunted this b:idge of distinction under the very noses of women — YES — under their \ ery noses.

Today the picture changes. The once lordly moustache has now become like a hunted animal. The wearer of one becomes pract ical ly an outcast— at least during the early stages of the hair-raising struggle.

“Of what use is a moustache.’” ask doubting individuals. Lit tle do those doubters dream that many a wearer of a flowing moustache has bet*n able to get two meals in one w Ihmi visit ing out. By the simplt* e.\))edii'nt of a l ­lowing a man sized moust.-M he to trail through the gravy bowl, ctc., (tne could later wring out a fairly substan ­tial nie.'il. Then, too. nothing (piite comes nji to a heavy mouslaclie for s t ;a in ing tiys out of soup, cofTI'ei*, etc.

Many a male h:is savrd the family gold watch in _\’(“:irs past by allowing n;uighty youngsters to tiig on his moustache instead of using the watch to keep the little one fpiiet.

liy growing a moustiiche of suit.-ibh style, the timid individual could ;i|i- |)i‘:ir quite ferocious-—a valuable as ­set when one was met at the door 1)V an ever-loving wife with a rolling-pin because of one’s j)oker-playing ac t iv i ­ties.

Then too, a very plain individual could assume (piite a handsome aj)- pearance by sporting a dashing growth of ha ir under the nose.

One could go on for hours enumt-r- a t ing the blessings of the now despis­ed moustache. Its uses are )>eyond number.

I’ray then, gentle reader, look not with scorn upon the efforts of those among us who are trying to br ing the male animal back to the position of distinction he once enjoyed.

One will ]irobably wonder why we should dissert a t such length oii this obsolete subject—other than for the purpose of filling up space.

The situation will probaldy be sonuwhat clarified when we iiiform you tha t the foregoing twaddle is given in sym])athy to a very close fr iend—one Harold f lye rs— who has been bra \ ing a storm of adverse criti-

Most of you readers are acquainted with the work of Rose Macaulay. Per- hai)s you have read “ Potterism",' which sli(»wed us tha t Miss Macaulay is a shrewd and witty novelist. “Personal F’leasures," the author's latest appeal to the world of writings, is a little volume of essays. Some of the com­positions are one page in length and (•thers are as much as nine or ten pages long. These essays really turn into a ]>iece of thoughtful foolery in which Miss Macaulay takes a stance unusual in our times, and still, the activities are certainly quite modern. By this I mean she listens to the radio, takes an airj)lane trip, scans the want ads foV a second-hand car, and does many things with which we of this generation are acquainted. She has pro})ably succuml)ed to Monoply like the rest of us and yet, all of Miss Macaulay's material is the literature of the ]iast; she is not swe])t help­lessly along on the current. One can readily appreciate the fact tha t Miss Macaulay is aloof and reflective, g iv ­ing a richness and pi(|uancy to “P er ­sonal Pleasures" which is most enlov­able. ' ‘

“ Personal Pleasures” is so full of hidden (juotations, hidfle!i in an uni(|ue m.-inner so tha t the reader cannot help feel tha t the author is playing a game with him. In other words the book contains all the ((ualities l ’v(> men­tioned, ancf if you want to catch them all, you have to realize that you must be clever in order to receiv(> tha t which the author is giving you.

l!y flit' time you come to the tin.al essay, you will realize tha t you have reached some delightful conclusions concerning the author of this, should we say light, but in triguing book.

WELL?

To the Editor:

Student government bodies of Drex­el Insti tute or of any other collegiate body should rejiresent some degree of efliciency and democratic organization, riie W omen s Student (>overnment has demonstrated its lack of these require­ments more than once in the three and a half years that I have been at Drex­el, but never (juite so outstandingly as it did in the nominations for hon­orary colonel on Wednesdav, January 29.

A notice was jilaced in the Court Wednesday morning, announcing tha t a meeting of women would be held at 12 o clock. Need I say anything more about the unfairness or lack of fore­sight in calling a meeting as impor­tan t as tha t on~ was, on such short notice? \on-soror i ty nominees for honorary colonel were chosen at tfiat time.

The women’s nominating .system has long been an outstanding joke. The members of a clique who can get to their feet the ([uickest, nominate their part icular friends, and as (piickly move tha t the nominations be closed, have secured the right to set these friends up before the voting group as its choice of candidates.

hat a farce! It is a challenge to .vou members of Women’s Student Ciovernment to do something about it. Will you acce))t the challenge? I wonder!

itterly Fought Game Sees Extra Period; Langemen Trailing at Half-time

Raynes High ScorerHistory repeated itself last Tuesday

night a t Curtis Hall Gym when the Drexel Dragons downed the fighting Ursinus Bears 32-30 in a hectic free- for-all battle tha t was stre tched into a five minute overtime period. Last year it took two overtime periods to tame the growling Bears and this y ea r ’s game gave no indication of a diflferent outcome.

Drexel’s first score came when Raynes sunk a spot shot from the floor. This lead was shortlived, how­ever, as Costello sunk a foul and then passed to Calvert for a field goal. Costello dropped another two-pointer and Ursinus led 5-2. The red and black clad quintet moved steadily out to a nine point lead a t half time with Calvert and Qaumer setting the pace. At one time when Lignelli and Lam­bert entered the game, the score reach­ed 10-9, but never did Drexel gain a lead. With the score 12-10, Ursinus again spurted and- field goals l)y Calvert, Greenwalt, and Bodley gave the Bears a 19-10 lead a t half-time.

Donaldson, Raynes, Curry, Lambert, and Layton started the second half and they*quickly broke through the Ursinus defensive wall which had smothered them the firsWialf. Raynes s ta r ted a scoring avalanche with a foul and then he split the cords with A perfect set shot. Donaldson then connected with one from the floor and made a beautiful over-hand shot from the corner. With the score 19-17, U r ­sinus took time out. This didn’t stop the Dragons, for a f te r Donaldson made a free-throw, Raynes took a floor- length pass from Curry to send the Langemen into a 20-19 lead.

Drexel’s foul-shooting was uncanny in its accuracy, Raynes made two good to nullify Costello’s at tempt. Then Dave Curry came through with two perfect field goals under the bask ­et and Drexel led 26-20. The Bears cut the lead to two points and Calvert tied it a t 26 all \vith an over-hand shot from the foul circle.

The game was getting rough, and when Costello sent Ursinus into a one-

point lead with his foul flip, Calvert and Lignelli exploded in a free-for-all. The crowd was tense as Calvert ap ­proached the foul-line— he m is ^ d —a roar of cheers. Lignelli’s turn—and “ Little Caesar” came through to tie the score 27-27. The si tuation wa« repeated a moment la ter when both Raynes and Costello made the ir a t ­tempts good. The game ended 28-28 and the boys s tar ted into an over-time period.

The star of the evening, Dave Cur­ry, made good a foul and Edwards followed suit, bu t Greenwalt’s field goal knotted the score again 30-30. With fifty-five seconds to play, Dave Curry again came through for Drexel with a shot th a t never touched the rim, and the Dragon had again con­quered the Bear 32-30.

Dragons Beaten by Bullets 33-25DrexePs Second Half Rally

Fails to Overcome Lead Held by Gettysburg; Fish and Lignelli Scintillate

The Gettysburg Bullets, four times champions of the Eastern Pennsyl­vania Basketball League, downed the fighting Drexel Dragons in a b lister ­ing bat t le 33-25. This vic tory broke the three-way tie existing between Gettysburg, Drexel, and Ursinus and sent Gettysburg into undisputed pos­session of second place.

The Dragons’ s ta r t ing five, Raynes, Curry, Lambert , Layton and Donald­son, foiled their usually effective of­fense muzzled from the start . Th^ Bullets played the Drexel passers close to the mid-floor stripe and they were constantly in tercepting the Dragons’ overhead passes.

Drexel was in front only once dur­ing the game when Raynes made a foul to s ta r t the scoring. Then, Fish ta llied on a follow-up shot and Thom­as, in tercepting a cross-court pass, dribbled back up the floor to sink G ettysburg’s second two-pointer. With their a t tack geared to high speed, the Bullets swung into a point scoring offense which netted them 13 counters in a row.

With the score 18-4, the Drexel cause seemed hopelessly lost, but then Bill Lignelli went into the game and things began to happen. The Dragons s tar ted to fight. Nannos and Conard, who replaced Raynes and Curry, fought for the ball all over the court. Lignelli racked up two field goals and Donaldson added another besides col­lecting two fouls to br ing the half- time score to 21-12.

The players and the crowd were all geared to a high emotional pitch, and referee Abrams had a hard time controlling the game. The Dragons s tar ted the second half with a rally tha t forced the Bullets back on their heels and closed the gap in scoring to 24-22. Again Lignelli and Donaldson w’ere the only ones able to find the rim. The Dragons wore playing real

Frank MerriwellAgain George Nannos enters the

spotlight. In the Drexel-Muhlenberg game, with leas than a minute to play, the Utzmen put on a great rallv to tie the score 33 to S3. At this' point, George stepped to the foul line, and without hesitat ing, tossed the foul tha t broke the tie and won the game.

* * *Feud

There is a feud on between J im Kirkland and Dave Curry. I t seems tha t Dave is a litt le too original for most of the boys but J im finally caught up with him. On the bus com­ing from the Muhlenberg game, the fellows s tar ted to play “G-H-O-S-T” to pass the time. Dave quickly be­came a “G-H-O-S” and then he stalled for time by inventing new words. Kirk land didn’t say any th ing when Curry spelled “c a h o r t ” but he wouldn’t let Dave get by with his latest creation, “m i s e d i f y.” As a result, the two of them have stopped speaking because J im is continually chal lenging Dave and asking him to spell the strange words he uses. Dave gets so worn out tha t he loses his zip in the practice sessions.

* * *Hall of Fame

We nominate Bill Lignelli to these mythical halls of valor. In the last two games “ Liggy” has been playing a beautiful b rand of basketball— and tha t with li tt le or no practice. Be­cause of his industry job. Bill usually gets to practice sessions too la te for scrimmage and only just in time for a few shots a t the baskets all by his lonesome.

Early Drexel Lead Wiped Out by Determined Rally of Mules But Dragons Win on Foul Shots by Nannos and Lignelli

Playing before a rabidly pro-Muhl­enberg crowd in the Allentown High School Gym last Saturday night, the Drexel quin tet managed to eke out a 35-33 vic tory to keep in the running for the Eastern Pennsylvania Confer­ence title.

Coach Lange s tar ted his sophomore five and displaying a bewildering pass ing a t tack , they rolled up an 8-0 lead in the first six minutes. Then Grassman sank a chari ty toss for Muhlenberg’s first score. “Legs” L ay ­ton consistently controlled the tap during th is time and the Mules seem­ed to be destined to lose by a huge margin. At this poin t Johnny Utz, Muhlenberg coach, sent in Thomas, a new center. Now, the^ Allentown five began to click and Drexel’s lead be­gan to dwindle.

Curry replaced Layton, and Donald­son went into the fray for Lambert a t guard. This move injected new life into the Dragons—their guarding became closer and the ir passing be­came more accurate. All this while the Mules were pecking a t the Blue and Gold clan’s lead. But the Drexel five consistently sank the ir shots to lead 18-14 a t the half.

At the beginning of the second half, the Utzmen started a bri lliant rally which quickly closed the scoring gap and tied the count a t 20-20. Drexel had practically a new team on the floor — Edwards and Raynes a t fo r ­ward, Layton a t center, an d Lambert and Lignelli a t guards. Drexel drew away into a lead again when Cliff Edwards rang up two twin-pointers. Lignelli added a basket and a foul shot.

Thomas and Grossman of Muhlen­berg l)ogan to pile up the points for their team and the lead began to see­

saw back and forth. Then Herb Raynes, Drexel captain, intercepted a pass, dribbled the length of th e floor, eluded the opposing guards to sink a beautiful ono-hand shot.

Layton was sent from the game via the foul route and Curry took up his duties. After Muhlenberg tied the count a t 33-all, Coach Lange sent in his original team with Donaldson re­placing Lambert. The tie continued until a minute and a ha lf remained to be plaj’ed. Then first Nannos and later Lignelli were fouled. Both sank their free flips to send Drexel into the two-point lead which it held to the final whistle.

Thrilling Moments

WI N GRIDIRON WARS-______________b y W a l t e r H a l a s ------------------------------

19U8 was tlio turning jioint of Dragon footltiill—ft sc.'isoii of rt-cord hrpaking upHcts Uiat, long will l)C re­membered hy loyal men of Drexel.

ProHpects were not so bright at t!ie beginning of tiu* season with only live veterans reporting a t the tra in ing camp at Wayne as a nucleus, and with a heavy ten-game schedule in the oiling. Our chances for success looked ra ther dultious but a fighting spirit pervaded the squad tha t Avould not be denied.

Tackling a strong Jun ia ta team in our first game a t Drexel Field, Eddie Hughes rounded end for a touchdown a f te r Cobby Maschal and Leo Ked- mond had buttered their way to the ten yard line. In the last period, with Drexel on its ow’n 16 yard line, Hughes passed to Leo Kedmond, who gave a dazzling exhibition in running 60 yards for the touchdown which as ­sured the Dragons of their first vic­tory of football competition with the Indians from Huntingdon.

On to Muhlenberg— what a game— from the depths to the heights in two minutes. Tho Dragons kept pounding a t the Mules’ goal line. In the first quarter , Leo Kedmond tossed a per­fect pass over the goal line, only to have the wet pigskin tr ickle out of the receiver’s hands. In the second period, Redmond ran 70 yards for a touchdown only to have the ball brought back to the 50 yard marker where he had touched the side line. Captain Hickman picked up a fumble and was caught on the one foot line— Drexel fa iling to score. Then it liap- pened. With five minutes to go, Sei- feir of Muhlenberg, standing on the Dragon’s 30 yard stripe and close to the side lines, kicked a perfect field goal—placing the Mules in the lead 3-0.

A hurried consultation in the hud­dle and Drexel elected to receive the kick-off. The ball sailed long and stra ight to Redmond, who gathered it in on his own 20 yard line. A beau­t i fu l wedge was formed into which Leo darted. The Mules were bowled left and r ight by hard blocking and

Redmond broke into flu* clear and was escorted over the goal line by four Drexel interferers in the one perfect plaj' of the game.

Down to Delaware. The Mud Hens claimed the strongest team in history. Coach Kothrock and Graduate M ana­ger Doherty condescendingly assured me tha t they w’ould be easy on us and ojily lick us 30 to 0 . They also de(Ji- cated a full page picture of Drexel’s coach in the program with a half-inch crepe around it. This was shown to the boys and it was the spark needed. With the Kedmond boys putt ing on a brother act to score three touchdowns, the final score was 19-0.

In three consecutive weeks Drexel had ruined the opening game for her rival.s. .Susquehanna was beaten for the first time in its history. A beau­tiful display of machine-like team play rolled up 38 points while the Crusaders were unable to score.

A set back at City College 26-6, came next. Everyth ing went wrong and the Dragons could not get s t a r t ­ed. A team determined to make amends*trounced Washington by scor­ing 3 touchdowns to win 19-7—a n ­other first in history victory.

In a heart -rending game, St. J o ­seph’s nosed out Drexel 12-H in the season’s final. The boys tr ied gamely to come through and in the last few’ minutes, Redmond started on one of his stellar runs. He w aa headed for the goal when a desperate lunge by Desmond brought him down—tho long schedule had taken its toll. Thus finished a great season.

DRAGONS BRATEN BY BULLETS (Continued from Page 3, Col. 4)

basketball and Gettysburg couldn’t do a thing with them, until with four minutes to play Raynes w’ent in at forward and Curry at center. Imme­diately the Drexel close-guarding com­bination was broken and Getty'sburg collected three field goals like a flash. In the short time remaining the D ra ­gons managed to score three more points but the Bullets matched them to make the final score 33-25.

Yearlings Down Bears 30-22 In One-sided WinThe Hrexel Frosh downed Don Kel-

lelt 's Trsinns freshmen 30-22 in n one Hided conflict, in which snpcrior height and team i)lay governed. Hennett, ( linn, and McGary led the Dragon yearl ing with 8 points apiece. Drexel sped away to an early lead when I’ennett sunk two field goals in suc­cession a f te r Cann had taken Wolf’s pass and cut through for the opening iiasket.

Wolf's passing was deadly in its ac ­curacy aiid with McGary, Cann and Hennett working under the basket the lead was quickly stretched to 17-6 as the half ended.

Ursinus was bet ter during the sec­ond half but they could never over­take the Dragon fivo’s early lead.

Drexel J. V’s Win 47-23 From Chestnut Hill

, In a prel iminary game to the Drexel- Gettysburg tussle, the Drexel Junior Vars ity thril led the spectators with a pret ty brand of basketball by de fea t ­ing the Chestnut Hill Alumni by a 47-23 score.

The .Funior Vars ity displayed a bri l­liant passing a t tack tha t had the vis­itors running around in circles. Char­lie Keyler led the a t tack with eight f»oals from the floor and one foul for a 17 j)oint total . Yohn, his running mate a t the forward position, collect­ed 10 counters while Weary Rhile made 9 ))oints and Ralston 6 .

THIS AND THAT(Continued from Page 2, Oolnmn 3)

cism while raising a most del ightful version of a Warren William mous­tache.

Let it be said to his credit tha t he used very little coloring matte r when balancing the hairs on either side of the cleft of the upjier lip.

In closing we should like to suggest a plan that may prove helpful to those who are having trouble raising a suf­ficient growth 'o f hair to call it a moustache. Here goes (a la "Rube Goldberg" t roupe) :—(1) Hub salt on the upper lip before

retir ing at night.(2 ) Suspend a bucket of water over­

head oJi the bedstead.'(3) When the whiskers become extra

th irs ty from the salt they will grow toward the water.

(4) Grab the whiskers and tie a knot in them—thus preventing them from scurrying l)ack to cover.

(5) When they have been in the open for several days and have become acclimated, it will be safe to un ­tie the knot and train the bashful hairs to suit the individual taste.

TID B IT SWe have heard tha t some freshmen

are beginning to wonder whether or not they really did graduate from high school last June.

The Mu’s would like to know if the young lady w’ho gave their house a ra ther close inspection when passing last Saturday noticed anything of interest.

Ifs like this—You see Fm reading a Chest­

erfield advertisement and Fm smoking a Chesterfield ciga­rette, and all of you are smoking Chesterfields.

Now listen—Chesterfields are mild (not strong, not harsh). That’s true isn’t it?

Then you read **and yet they satisfy, please your taste, give you what you want in a cigarette.’* That says it, doesn’t it?

W ait a minute'—It says now that Chesterfields

have plenty of aroma and flavor. One of you go out of the room and come back. That will tell you how pleasing the aroma is.
