G reeks G reet Frosh

Drexel’s fraternities have their snares wide-set for the gullible frosh. Tonight the smoker at the Pi K ap’s finishes a week and a half of con­centrated rushing by the upper class­men.

The works started last week on Wednesday when Tau Kappa Epsilon entertained a large group of freshmen at their home, 3337 Arch Street, with Teke speakers and general fraternity good fellowship. Friday n ight saw the Alpha P i Lam bda’s receiving the men who had been asked to their smoker. The big house at 33rd and Powelton Avenue was lit from top to bottom as the Apple-Pies showed their guests the ins and outs of a fraternity home.

This week’s round of freshmen en­tertaining started Monday night when the men of Lambda Chi Alpha threw open the doors of 3507 Baring Street to Tech’s newest men. Wednesday saw the Theta Chi house filled with frosh who came to enjoy the hospi­tality offered at 326 N. 34th Street. Tonight the bro thers of P i Kappa Phi turn the house at 34th and Powelton into a gaming den to entertain the freshmen.

After this, intensive rushing period climaxes Saturday night with open house dances at all the fraternity houses. Then the brothers will give a final general checkover to the men they have mentally selected, and soon after bids will be p repared and issued through Dr. Hanson, the LF. Council adviser.

On Thursday noon the sealed bids will be d istributed to the freshmen; from noon Thursday until Monday evening at 6:00 P. M. is the silence period for fraternity men. Pledging of those m en appearing Monday eve­ning at the fraternity home of their choice will be the end of another hec­tic open season on freshmen.

Aiumni-Hold Class

Robert Neave, class of ’27, will p re ­sent an eleven-week Dale Carnegie “Public Speaking Class” to Drexel a lumni in the Student Building. In the past, many lectures have been given by prominent speakers also, and all of these discussions have proved invaluable. Members of this group will surely appreciate the course, since it has practical as well as en ­tertainment value. In addition to the alumni, this course is also open to Drexel students in industry.

Some members of the faculty are interested in a literary way, as evi­denced by Dr. Carl Eldon, who spoke to the New York Drexel Club, and the coming presence of Mr. Budd and Mrs. Wall at the Baltimore Drexel Club.

FaustDirectsPtayFor the first time in the history of

Drexel, the student body is going to take complete charge of its forthcom­ing dramatic production. The m em­bers of the Alpha Psi Omega are about to gain some valuable dramatic experience by producing and direct­ing their own show.

“Night Must Fall,” by Emlyn W il­liams, a mystery strange with tense­ness and weird forbodings has been chosen as the first play. Business man­agement will be handled by Walter Dudra while publicity and the task of making Drexel play conscious will fall to Bob Neuman and Gladys Ash- kanazy.

Jerome Faust will be the first mem­ber of the dramatic society to direct a major production. He will employ musical effects and different types of lighting to intensify the drama of the situation. From all apparent indi­cations it seems that this new set-up will be well received by the student body.

Engineering courses are to be opened to women this February for the first time in the history of Drexel. Qualified women students may then enroll in curricula leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electri­cal engineering, or mechanical engi­neering. Representatives of the school of engineering will be in the Court to answer questions about credits for admission and curricula to be sched­uled for prospective women students. Shops and laboratories will he opened for their inspection and students will be stationed to explain instruments and laboratory pourses.

GUEST DAY on Puge 3

Sororities Gun For Prospects

“Gunning season” for Drexel sorori­ties officially opens on January IR, when the Pan-Hellenic Council spon­sors its annual tea, to whicli all elig­ible freshmen are invited. All sorori­ties will be represented and include Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sig­ma, Delta Sigma Epsilon, Pi Sigma Gamma, and Sigma Omicron Pi. Fol­lowing the tea, the forinnl and infor­mal parties will keep Drexel co-eds in a series of whirling activities from whicli, it is promised, they will not recover immediately.

First on tlie calendar of informal parties at the Lodge is Delta Sig on January 26. Stiff scheduling follows, with two successive niglits m onopo­lized by Sigma Omicron Pi and Tri Sig’s respectively. Pi Sig’s and Alpha Sig’s have priorities on the following Tuesday and Thursday, February 2

and 4, in order.

This is not all, however, for eacli sorority sponsors a formal dance, too. Due to the war economizing all dances will be held either in the Student Building or the Great Court.

Alpha Sig waxes the dance floor first this season on Friday, January 29, exactly one week after the one and only ball of the term. Pi Sig’s te rm i­nate the first rushing week with their formal on Saturday night, January 30. Sigma Sigma Sigma, allowing the freshmen to rest, lift the baton again on the following Friday, February 5 . The next night, February 6 , belongs to Sigma Omicron Pi and Delta Sigma Epsilon. Rusliing is concluded by a silence period of three days, during which no one speaks to “nobody” and the freshmen, after catching tlieir breath, cast their deciding ballot.

Dean Dorsey Talks To Red Cross

Starting off the new term the Red Cross college chapter at Drexel had its first meeting last Tuesday. Miss Dorsey spoke to the members on sev­eral pertinent topics. She stressed the fact that the least students can do is to cooperate with the organization on the work which is so necessary to the war effort.

A great many garments to be assem­bled are available in the Red Cross room ; most of these consist of skirts and children’s dresses. There is no more sweater work on hand ; anyone who has a sweater should return it as soon as possible.

Reorganization of the executive board was discussed; the group feels that such a step would produce more cooperation than was exhibited last term.

The southeastern division presented the college chapter with S25 running expenses for the year. The group also began to formulate plans for the War Fund drive to be sponsored in March; this will be a combined war fund drive and roll call.

No new date for blood donating has been announced; Marjorie Schmidt will paste a notice on the bulletin board as soon as the date has been selected.

Tan Beta PI To Initiate

Form al initiation and induction of two senior men into Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, will take place Saturday, January 16, at 6:00 P. M. in the women’s lounge. The customary dinner following' initi­ation will no t be held.

The pledges to be inducted are P. Drennan Miller, civil engineer, and Franklin W. Widman, electrical en­gineer and m em ber of Eta Kappa Nu, honorary electrical engineering fraternity. These men were bid in September but, because of industry jobs, were unable to attend the formal initiation of their fellow pledges in October. It is for this reason that Tau Beta PI Is having this special ini­tiation.

In an effort to meet the changing situation created by gas restriction, Miss Dorsey, Dean of Women, ap­proved new chaperon regulations this week.

The new plan calls for reducing the num ber of faculty signatures on the chaperon card from two to one. The missing faculty member will be re ­placed by the parent of one of the students of the organization holding the social affair.

Single Persons Accepted

Single faculty members of either sex will also now be acceptable, whereas the old plan called for mar­ried couples. However, anyone in­viting an unescorted woman member of the faculty will have to make pro ­visions for seeing her home. Securing chaperones under the old system is not p roh ib ited ; but the practice will be discouraged as much as possible so that the available faculty members will not be overburdened.

Parents A pproved

Under the new plan, a member of an organization sponsoring a social affair will submit to Dean Dorsey’s office the names of the parents of one member of the organization at least10 days in advance. Miss Dorsey will then communicate! with those parents, giving them general chaperon instruc­tions and asking them to sign a return enclosed card.

This new system was first proposed last week at a jo int meeting of Wom­en Student Government Association and Men’s Student Council and was then communicated to the Dean of Women.

The final details were worked out last Tuesday at a conference attended by Miss Dorsey, Dr. Stratton, Dr. Sones, “F lippy” Merrill, president of W.S.G.A., and Charles Caulfield, presi­dent of Men’s Student Council.

For the remainder of this term the parent-fuculty idea will be on trial. If it is found unworkable, it will be replaced by a more feasible plan.

Drexelteriann Plan Skating Party

At a supper meeting of the Drexel- terlans last Tuesday, it was decided to hold a skating party at tiie Adelphia Sporting Club on Wednesday niglit, January 20. All are welcome. Tickets, at 45c per person plus tax, are avail­able from the Drexelterian cabinet members, or at the Drexelterian Mem­bership Drive desk to be placed in the Court Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes­day of next week.

Seven ROTO . Men Bid

Scabbard and Blade, the national honor society for advanced R.O.T.C. students, bid seven juniors at their meeting last Thursday. Those to whom bids were tendered were George Bal- derston, William Jaus, Jolm Kestler, Herbert Beattie, William Poehlmann, Jay Weidmun, and Robert Cording. This group, the second chosen for membership In the present school year, will be formally initiated on January 28.

A n electrical engineer, George Bal- derston, is in Eta Kappa Nu, the honorary fraternity for electricals. Bill Jaus, a business administration stu­dent, is treasurer of PI Kappa Ph i and the assistant business manager of the Lexerd. A member of Theta Chi and of the hockey team, John Kestler Is also an electrical engineer. Herb Beattie, also a Theta Chi member, has starred in football, he is taking the business administration course.

There are two mechanical engineers In the group: Bill Poehlmann, who is a m em ber of P i Tau Sigma and on the football squad, and Bob Cording. Jay Weidmun is a chemical engineer and was the captain of last year’s track team.

During the meeting. Chairman Lou Greene gave a report on the progress being made in the formation of plans for the Military Ball, which will be held next term due to the cancellation of the Senior Prom.

Bob Neuman was chosen for the post of first lieutenant, the position left vacant upon the graduation of Charles Nicholson lost December.

Lawson Wins First Tieket At Drawing

With the new restrictions o n pleasure driving ordered last week by the Oflice of Price Adminis- lialioii, joe Vill, Chairman of the fMigineers’ Ball committee, has an­nounced that formal dress at this affair will be optional.

A large crowd is expected to hear Herby W oods’ band play in the Crystal Ballroom of the Benjamin I 'rnnklin next Friday night, January twenly-second, from nine until two.

Last Tuesday, Clint Lawson won the first of the four lucky tickets drawn at the Student Union dance. Other lucky winners were Pete Marenholtz, J. W. Delwiler, and R. Gustin, whose stubs were drawn in that order by Jean Yerkes, last year’s Pi Kappa Phi sweetheart. Gustin was the last fel- low to purchase a ticket before the drawing at one-thirty Tuesday. All the winners received their tickets for the initial payment of a dollar.

Tlie second drawing will be next Tuesday at which time nine lucky tickets will lie selected during a dance in the Student Union. Tickets to be eligible for this drawing must have Ihe second installment paid before one-lhirty Tuesday.

An outstanding feature of the ball other than the lack of transportation will be the initiation of a m ilk bar for the use of Drexel students ex­clusively. Service in the liotel bar will be closed to any guests at the Drexel dance.

Herby Woods offers an added at­traction to his band in the person of pretty Doris Bell, tlie petite vocalist for the outfit. A local girl, she has appeared at Drexel dances before with Bill Hammersly’s band, but recently sang with Bunny Berrigan’s orches­tra. As the “dancing band leader” Woods has already created a name for himself among colleges along the east­ern coast.

His apearance at tlie Engineers’ Ball follows the wartime policy of local bands for the big dances.

The calibre of music, however, is not necessarily reduced as shown by the popularity of Woods and his vo- calist. Already a large num ber of tickets have been purchased after the announcement that tlie ball would be either formal or informal depending upon the individuals. At the drawing for lucky tickets next Tuesday the committee will announce the results of their survey to determine the num ­ber of couples that plan to attend in formal or Informal dress.

Bull SessionBy Frank Ewing

Threat of the week—“I ’ll hit you on your viirritiiilion!”

Anyway, the “ BIG SMALL”.pox scare is over—It acenis that the sus­pected victim has leprosy, or some­thing like that, and his daily haths in the city’s drinking water reservoirs have improved liim considerably. The health clinics have all stopped niglit work and everything has returned to normal except the lump on the left arm.

liusinesx ns usual--Considine misses train for Cumberland Tuesday m orn­ing; hence, A .W .O.h. right from the start. Spends first night peeling spuds. fFhat a guy!

Get set for some Orson Welles stage and lighting effects in the new Rouge and Robe play this term if Faust can get the one he wants. (“Night Must Fall.” )

By the way. for the first time this play is to he handled entirely by the members of Alpha Psi Omega, hon ­orary dramatics society. They p rom ­ise a play you’ll never forget—witli the best in acting. If it goes over; tliat is, if we support, it means big­ger and better plays at Tech and a name in dramatics. If it doesn’t - dramatics are probably gone for keeps here.

The lack of oil for heating purposes has had some notably good effects in the case of the girls' dorm. Some of the rooms not being heated are kept from chilling the others by clos­ing the doors. A m ong them is the parlor with all the soft furniture.

Isn’t it a little dangerous to roller- skate to school, Libby?

Glad to see that Joe Vill has taken the health of the students to heart. Alcohol must be detrimental to the blood stream.

Well, see you all at the M ilk Bar.

Even the prospect of riding the rails couldn t sway us. Alter all, a wonuui’s vanity needs a brush-up every once and so often. So through rain or sleet or hail, w'e’ll trek—to the Engineers’ Ball -in our best bil* and tucker.

What to wear—tlie proi>lem of tlie moment—darling in again -as always

‘••'d us—with only twenty-four hours in tlie day—and twenty-five hours a day of work to do . . .

Are you petite ingenue? Well, how about a little num ber of rayon jersey and chiffon — heart-shaped neck draped bodice — flowered jersey — bouffant chiffon skirl - i t’s made for you . . .

Flash of jet or colored sequins on while blouse — contrasting taffeta skirt—big bow in front—if you can lake it . . .

Off-lhe-shoulder ruffle—beaded bod­ice -f low ing net skirt—for your fa­vorite Ensign . . .

Or are you taking advantage of your slightly lilted nose and arched jjrow—are you a sophisticate?

How about meadova in lace with twinkling gold sequin leaves — and golden straps over the shoulders . . .

A l)lack velvet peasant bodice laced with pink satin ~a luscious slipper satin p ink skirt . . .

Charles P. Caui.field

Politics and journalism have domi­nated the extra-curricular life of Charles P. Caulfield during his five- year span at Drexel. These trends have borne fruits as Charlie now speaks with authority as president of the Men’s Student Council and is listed in the masthead of T h e Tri- an o le as Associate Editor. His inter­est in these activities and others has won him a place in this year’s Col­legiate W h o ’s Who.

Charles wasn’t always a politician or a consumer of cigars. He was once a child. He was born in Philadelphia on the twenty-seventh day of October, 1921, at the age of zero. Soon after- w’ards he accompanied his family to their present residence in Almonesson (yes. you heard me right) . New Je r ­sey,

After the usual routine of gram­m ar school and high school, Cliarlie found his way into the academic halls of Drexel as a student of civil en­gineering.

During a lough freshman year, Charles took a few minutes off to be­come pledged to Alpha Upsilon Mu. now a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, of which he is a charier member. He also spent an internship as a reporter on T he T riangle and fiddled around with the pawns as a member of the Chess Club. His use in the activity life of Drexel really began in his p re ­junior year. By this lime he was hold­ing down the sports editorship of T he T riangle very successfully. At the same time his classmates swept him into office as their representative on the Student Council. During his so­journ on the council he headed the publicity committee of the Student- Faculty Day group and was also named to the Student Union Commit­tee.

As a junior, Charlie was elevated to an assistant editorship on T he T ri­angle staff and became a member of the editorial board of the paper. He was retained on the Student Union Committee during the year. In the latter half of his jun io r year he was further advanced in the council as the class elected him to the vice-presi- deney.

This year sees his rise come to a clinuix as he succeeds George James as president of the Men’s Student Coun­cil and is named associate editor of T he T riangle.

Charles’ fraternity work has also left a favorable impression on his brothers. As a Lambda Chi Alpha, he has helped to round out some of its most successful athletic teams. His activities include bowling, baseball, basketball, and table tennis.

Charlie has given his time and abili­ties unselfishly on any activity to which his efforts were directed during his stay at Drexel. Among his other affiliations have been the A.S.C.E. and the Newman Club. He claims chess as his chief hobby, but his fraternity brothers will tell you that it is poker (when he has time, that is practically 24 hours a day, all comers).

When Charlie “gets out” he is hop­ing to put aside industrial aspirations and direct his education and practical abilities to the service of the Army of the United States.

printDfear Folks:

Oh, tell me it wasn’t a fairy tale, hut you can’t convince me. Two weeks of school and I have to shovel (no pun) myself out from behind the books and papers. There aren’t even any more stray Christmas tree needles stuck in my sweaters or shoes; might just as well forget about stardust and hollv and eggnogs for good.

Gosh, sometimes I get so discouraged with myself and wonder how anyone can be such a dope. Even the Greeks and the city the* birds hiiilt don’t qualify as company for my misery. People have such an easy time fooling me. H ere’s the latest thing the gang pulled. Last week I had my smallpox vaccination—the day before they did, I got really excited ,-ind anticipatory (some word) because they told me that on the eighth da\ I’J have chills and fever and have to stay in bed. Well, you know the rcM I took the bait, took the chance, and got “took,” D idn’t do my problems or my reading for that day. In the morning, I woke up and felt my head. No fever, I was neither hot nor cold. Even walking on the floor in my Imre feet didn’t send a chill up my spine. As a last hope I went to the infinnarv to have my temperature taken. It couldn’t have been more norm al ami I never felt better in my life—the old adage says—except that mentally 1 was nauseated for more delicately I was sea sick. So here I am this week-eml— all my work to make up, my limit in cuts for one subject and no leisure time to think up some gruesome method of revenge. Baby, when I do luive time. I ’m going off in a corner and plot till I rot.

Ah, I had another inspiration recently. D on’t worry though, I took Bl capsules for a week to replace the loss in vitality and for the strain. Anyway now we no longer have to take to our bunks to keep warm and study. Only everybody on the floor has to cooperate; i t ’s a sort of hum an heating plant' We start in any room. All twenty-two of us go inside and shut the door (It’s pretty crowded—like a submarine sandwich—in the single rooms,) 1'hen we start breathing deeply and slowly. This absurd and ludicrous lung work goes on for one hundred inhales and exhales—dizzy people falling over whenever necessary. Of course, it’s hard on those suffering with adenoids. The process, as you can readily conclude, supplies an abundance of hot air to the room—and without anyone so much as saying a word. Then comes the hard part, tip-toeing out of the door without letting any cold air in. It must look queer to see twenty-odd normally noisy people filing silently from room to room. If a door slams we have to do it aU over again.

Now, there are only two things wrong with my ingenious method. By the time we have all the rooms snug and cozy, the whole evening’s shot and it’s time to take to our bunks, after all, better still, two or three people are usually ready for the infirmary and the rest of us having hallucinations to say nothing about asthma. The bottlenecks are these fag fiends. They’re so short winded, they don’t do their share of the heating. Well, I must try to perfect this system before Spring sets in and I have to work on a greaseless sun tan oil. In the meantime, please send me my Dr. Denton’s, (Any re- semWimce to anything by Bencliley is purely coincidental and most fortunate.)

Time to stop shooting the breeze and do a little book work. Anyhow Roomie and another babe are all set for a sob session about some poor home- sick soldier, I ve got to get out before the tidal wave.

Love you,

B. M.P,S, Don’t worry about those six proposals. Five of them were out of

tneir minds, and the sixth one was a senior.

IANUARV 15. 1943 THE TRIANGLE PAGE 3

F r a t e r n i t y R o w• Delta Sigma Epsilon

What a busy week for the Delt’s! The big event was a surprise shower given for “H at” Savage—and she was really surprised! Last Tuesday “Hal” walked into the D.S.E. sorority room and was greeted by forty-five sisters i^inging strains of the wedding march. In the middle of the room were piled high all kinds of lovely gifts; linens, china, tricky kitchen gadgets, and everything to help “H at” to be a per ­fect Delt housewife. The big finale was an old tradition of passing string from the presents among the girls to see who would be the future bride. Margaret Cook was the lucky one.

After an hour of fun the Delta Sig’s mettled down to a serious discussion of rushing and have all plans in work­ing order.

Betty Ayres, our president, gave us Oelt’s another surprise by announcing her engagement to “Fuzzie” Frame, of Drexel class ’43.

All the Delt’s are glad to welcome back Doris Bedrossian who has jusl recovered from an operation.

• Sigma Sigma Sigma

Marty Baylor Layton played hostess to the T ri Sigma’s at her home in Lansdowne last Wednesday. The girls met together and discussed the com­ing rush activities.

Eleanor Eichberg De George has left school to be with her husband, who is in the Army. Janis Dobson Gretz has also left to take up the duties of motherhood.

Many of the girls have pledged their blood to the coming Blood Donor Campaign.

• Sigma Omicron P i

The Sigma O’s take great pleasure in announcing that Dr. Rosenbaum, newly of the chemistry faculty at Drexel, will be their sponsor and guiding light.

Dr. Rosenbaum is a graduate of Goucher College, Mt. Holyoke, where she received her master’s degree, and the University of Chicago, where she was granted her Doctorate in 1933. She holds membership in Ph i Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi (national honorary science society), and a few others.

In addition to leading our home ecs along the tortuous paths of chem­istry, she is the mother of two little girls, and lady of a home in Lans­downe, Pa. We deeply appreciate her consent to “adopt” Sigma Omicron Pi into her already heavy schedule.

On the work program of the girls these days are the preparations for two m ajor rushing events—a party to be held at Drexel Lodge on January 29, and dance to be held in our Court on February 6 . They have decided to forego the customary formal dance this year in view of the need for economy and will dance to recordings in true patriotic spirit.

• Pi Sigma Gamma

The girls are really missing Ginny Halas who failed to return to school this term. They hope she will be back in the Spring.

Another big interest besides trying to find committees for the rushing parties, is the Red Cross Blood Drive. The president, Joan Brennan, had hoped to have the sorority turn out 1 0 0 %, bu t she is having her troubles. Most of the girls are a little squeamish about the affair. But then, they have about a m onth to get up their courage.

• Pi Kappa PhiThe holidays over, the vast horde

of Pi Kap’s, re lum ing from their responsible positions in industry, joined the throng of brothers (and freshmen) all ready established at 3401. With their return, and the re­turn of all the liouse freshmen, which was an unexpected surprise, our fa­cilities were stretched. In fact tlie fraternity brothers violated the rush­ing rules by rushing around trying to find a room in which to scatter tlieir bags and baggage, and rest their weary bones.

Amidst all this turmoil, our scouts have been out and set the traps to catch the xmwary freshmen. To those ambitious youths who seek fraternity life and leadership, we extend a hearty welcome to peek through the portals of P i Kappa Phi and see for them­selves what goes on within its walls.

This evening Pi Kap’s will play host to a select few of the motley crew (thei freshmen in general). 3401 will be converted into a gambling estab­lishment for the evening. Bouncers Jaus and Richter will be on duty in the lobby to settle any disputes that may arise among the suckers. In clos­ing the program for the evening talks will be rendered by select speakers.

Tomorrow evening as a conclusion to the rushing season the Pi Kap’s will again open their doors to anyone and everyone from Drexel. Music for your dancing pleasures will be supplied by the country’s top-ilight bands.

Faced with the problem of obtain­ing a priority for steel for the 1943 motor truck license tabs which must be added to all plates by the first of the year, Wallace G. Kittredge, direc­tor of the Commercial Vehicle Di­vision of the Commonwealth of Mas­sachusetts, appealed to General Elec­tric for a substitute material with the result that this year’s plates will be made of a lightweight laminated plas­tic. This change not only will save 16,000 pounds of steel, so vital for war production, but will reduce^ the postage bill three-quarters for mailing the tabs.

The tab is manufactured by General Electric of a laminated phenolic com­pound utilizing the printed and molded process. This consists of pla^ ing printed sheets bearing the required design on resin-inipregnated sheets of paper, backed by suitable filler, cov­ered by a translucent sheet, and the whole bonded together under approxi­mately 250 degrees Fahrenheit tem­perature and 1,500 pounds pressure. The pressing operation, which finishes the product in one operation and re- quires only minutes, converts the resin-impregnated sheets and the printed matter into a homogoneous and strong product having excellent weather resistance. No additional sur­face treatment is required and alter sawing and drilling, the tubs are ready for the fastening to the 1942 plates.

tary Collepe (ind the Drexel capers

promises to he one of the hest of

the season. The hoys from P.M.C.

racked up their first victory in three

starts last .Saturday hy defeating tlie

West Chester State Teachers’ College

quintet, 40-29. The Cadets dropped

two pre-season games to Leliigli, 65-

.39, and to .St. Joseph’s, 60-28.

Cadet Captain Stars

Star of the P.M.C. five is the six-

foot captain, Larry Miller, high scorer

of the eastern collegians last season.

Captain Miller, a product of Eddy-

stone High, accounted for twenty-two

of the forty points scored by the Ca­

dets against West Chester last Satur­

day. Shifted from his regular posi­

tion at forward to center for tlie con­

test, Miller sparked a comeback drive

in the last two periods to turn a 2,5-16 half-time deficit into a one-sided vic­tory. The second-half drive on the part of the Cadets parallels Drexel’s late-period rally against Susquehanna last week. \^'ith both teams having the ability to come through under pressure, this week’s contest should prove interesting.

Enter Fifth Season

Head coach of the Cadets is Howard “Ziddie” Trautwein, rated by many as one of the most canny coaches in the country. A graduate of the Phila ­delphia Central High School and len ip le University, Trautwein moved into the collegiate ranks four years ago when he left Southern High as mentor and took over the reins of the Pennsylvania Military College court aggregation. Thus he starts his fifth campaign after piloting the Ca­dets through last season with a five games won, four lost, record.

L iU i S av in ff—Instruction Offered

Once again opportunity is given to those interested in life saving to fol­low' up this interest in the course of instruction which will begin approxi­mately I 'ebruary 1. The course will be given on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4 P. M. in Weightnian Hall at the University of Pennsyl­vania women’s pool. All girls who wish to participate should contact Miss Forstner, Miss Lysle, or Mrs. Ulrich. Ih is is only one of the many opportunities which might help bring to the surface the importance of physi­cal fitness in these times.

. § w a r t l i m o r c > ^Traveling to Swarthniore next

Wednesday, the Drexel quintet will

meet the Swarthniore five for the G ar­

net’s ninth contest of the season. The

Swarthmore hoys should be a veteran

team by this time despite losses

through graduation and the call of our country.

With a record of four losses against

one win so far, the Garnet should not

be underestimated. .Starting the season

early in December with a loss to Ab­

erdeen, 54-38, Swarthniore dropped a

heart-hreaker to Susquehanna the next

night, 30-28. The team looked bright

against the Philadelphia College of

Pharmacy when the final gun showed

a win for Swarthmore, 62-30. Though

completely outclassed, the Garnet

made a good showing in P enn’s Pales­tra on January 6 , but dropped the game to Penn, 55-38. Trying to break into the win column again last Sat­urday, the Garnet lost to Stevens, 35- 2 1 . Swarthmore travels to Moravian tomorrow night for their last contest before coming to grips with the Drag­ons next Wednesday.

Although Swarthmore lost through graduation the All-State forward of last year, Stan Cope, the relinquish­ing of the freshmen rule and additions from last year’s freshman squad has brightened the picture for the college varsity of this year. John Ogden, son of the former general manager of the Phils, and Bill Marshall, who topped 1 00 points last season, have been the leading scorers thus far. Captain Jack Dugan, of Elkins Park, Pa., has seen little action so far due to a shoulder injury received in the final game of the football season. However, he was expected to return to the team soon after the first of the year and may be in his position at forward by next Wednesday.

Trachmen Prepare For Season

Despite the war the Drexel track team will be continued. Coach Leon­ard informed a meeting of track en ­thusiasts on Tuesday. However, Mr. Leonard stressed the transportation problem and the fact that in all p roba­bility Drexel will compete mostly with Philadelphia District Colleges such as Temple, Swarthmore, P.M.C., Haver- ford, and possibly Vilhmova.

In past years Drexel trackmen have had only two weeks to get in condi­tion, but this year the team %vill be ­gin next week by daily runs of six miles cross-country through Fairmount Park. Then after a few weeks of this grueling grind Coach Leonard hopes to be able to practice on Penn’s in ­door track. This training schedule should not only prepare the boys for track but also for future military serv­ice.

Lettermen returning from last year are: Captain J. Richter, hurdles; Bill Hass, javelin; J. Weidman, sprints; Bill Thompson, high ju m p ; Jeff Saun­ders, 880 and m i le ; H arry Rupp, sprints; Boh Brocksbank and Wills Burrowes, weightmen. Art Hawkins, who has plenty of A.A.U. experience, and A1 Connors are experienced jave­lin throwers.

The Dragons will he bolstered by new' talent supplied by the freshmen class. These men together with last year’s material should form u top-flight aggregation. It is for this reason that Coach Leonard and bis men have high hopes for a successful season.

Estweiler Plays withClianute Field

Jack Estweiler, class of ’42, has re- cently been named to the starling five on the Chanute Field basketball team. Jack is holding down the center pivot position, a position he so aptly filled as an undergraduate with the Tech courtmen. Here, he was a three-letter man in basketball and captained the squad through an unusually successful season.

This year’s sharpshooters, under the

direction of Major Pharoah assisted

by Lieutenant Wignall, have had in ­

tensified practice in offhand shoot­

ing and the kneeling position. Cap­

tained by Pete Halas, the entire team

with the exception of last year’s cap­

tain, Sanford, has returned. Tomor­row the boys have a match with Val­ley Forge Military Academy on the Drexel rifle range.

Following this the riflemen meet the U. of P. at home on the 23rd of January, and Pennsylvania Military College on the 30th also at home. Separate meets have been planned with Maryland, Lafayette, and Lehigh, bu t the dates have not been announced as yet. So far Major Pharoah has not shown any optimism or made any p re ­dictions for the season.

On the other hand, the fairer sex have no t been sleeping as proved by last Saturday’s match. During the fall term Ruth Tucker, this year’s cap­tain, Elizabeth Heagey, Virginia Young, and Margaret Taylor have been practicing under the direction of Major Boulware. By all predic­tions Dorothy Dickson, Helen Leon­ard, Thelma Blottzig, Marion Houtz, and Fadra Le Blanc have great possi­bilities. The girls have planned sev­eral matches this year bu t so far the schedule has not been announced.

Last Saturday the riflemen lost their opening match with the co-eds by a score of 489-488. “Libby” Heagey came in first for the girls with a 9 9 , Tucker and Feather tied for second with 98’s. For the men Bill Bahren- burg held the high position with a 99, trailed by Paiss and Silverstein, each scoring a 98. In the fourth and fifth positions Linturn and Le Blanc each shot a 97 for the co-eds, while B urkhart and H itchner came through with a 97 and 96 respectively for the

An old Dutch woman was arrested for listening to B.B.C. broadcasts from London and hailed before a Nazi court.

“Why did you do th is?” asked the judge.

“Oh, but your Honor,” she replied, “Hitler told us he would be in London in October 1940. I have been listen­ing every day since then. I would not want to miss der Fuehrer.”

By outscoring Susquehanna 15 to 0

in the fourth and final quarter, Drex-

el’s basketball team was able to rack

up its first win of the year in its open­

ing game at Curtis Gym.

Starting off very slow, the Drexel

five appeared nervous and off balance.

Seven minutes passed before the

Dragons were able to score a field

goal. The Crusaders had run up eight

points in this time and appeared to

have the situation well in hand. A

meek goal from the field and a lone

foul shot was all that kept the Mains-

men from being completely blanked

in the first quarter. The period ended

with the score 11 to 3 in favor of Sus­

quehanna. The second period showed

marked improvement on the par t of

the Dragons, who lifted the ir total to

10 while holding the Crusaders to three- field goals. Field goals by H ar­den, Piatt, and Rosenfeld began to put a new light on the game, and the chances of the Dragon five seemed a little brighter. The biggest trouble the Mainsmen had was stopping the fast passing of W right and Izzacs which usually ended in a Susquehanna basket.

Drexel Outscored

The visitors came back strong in the next period and outscored the Drexel courtmen 9 to 7 to give them the commanding lead of 26 to 17. Again it was W right and Izzacs who did the most damage to Dragon cause. Harden and K oller came through with three field goals between them to keep the Dragons in the game. Harden was taking his usual beating, hardly putting up a shot that he did not land face first on the floor.

Dragons Recover

The fourth session was one to be pu t on the books for future reference. A revamped and re-everything Dragon five started off like a house afire to overcome a lead that at that time seemed to be more than enough to assure the Crusadera of a fair margin of victory. Baskets by H arden and Rosenfeld brought the forward Drag­ons to within two points of the fast- fading invaders. Pete P ia tt came in the game a minute later and tossed the ball through the basket to pu t the game on an even basis for the first time since the opening whistle. Then with less than five minutes to play Parm et dropped one through to give the Mainsmen a margin of victory that they were to make even greater.A foul apiece b^ Gilliford and Piatt and another field goal by that terror of the courts, Erv Harden, brought the total of the D.I.T. score to 32 while in this whole quarter Susquehanna was not able to register a single counter. Erv H arden led the scoring honors for the Tech.

W ith the coming of a decreased men s athletic program and stress being placed upon women as far as operating Tech is concerned, why not start a campaign for increased em­phasis on Dragonette doings. This page is willing to cooperate 1 0 0 %, but things of this na tu re deserve origin among the athletic staff. A little more enthusiasm and “tooting of their own horns” would certainly do a lot in this direction. We would welcome a program of this sort and will givi them all the publicity they want. How about giving them all the publicity they want. How about giving the gals, who pay tuitions, too, b>' the way, some extra money and have an all- out campaign for increased enthusi­asm among the fairer sex.

Hope the girls get that allowance they need for a tr ip to George Wash­ington College and Maryland Uni­versity.

APOLOGIES

• To Mr. B udd for making him as­sistant coach of ice hockey. He’s really a full coach and if he does half as good a job with the team as he does with his law classes they’ll be killer-dillers.

I ought to get a 90 for that!

CO-CAPTAINS

• After vehement denials by the Men’s A.A. that there was no “Man- dal” in the football captaincy eleclions we find the smell still lingering after two months. Anyway, we learn that W arren Brosius and Joe Michaels will share that highly coveted [)osi- tion.

The same thing occurred two sea­sons ago, a t which time the Men’s A.A. prom ised to set up a system by which no m ore confusion would re­sult, that was two seasons ago and something is yet to be done about the situation. Doesn’t the Men’s A.A. th ink it’s about tim e?

TRIU M V IRA TE

• Bob Mason, Pete Piatt, and Bill Seiders are now the T hree Stooges of the basketball team . . . Bob Mason won his degree in the society by vir­tue of his modesty.
