BOYER CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF NEW HONORARY

BUSINESS CLUBOn T hursday evening, January 10th,

a m eeting was held in the Men’s Union by a representative group of business s tuden ts for the purpose of organizing a business club. *

Clarence Boyer opened the meeting with a brief talk outlining the program and aims of such a club. He emphas­ized the value of such a club to the business students, the business school and Drexel itself.

Mr. Kaschenbach, of the Business School, also spoke of the benefits to be derived from such a club and the possibility of eventually joining a na ­t ional business fra ternity .

The following officers were elected for this year: President, Clarence Boyer; Vice-President, Harold Jackson; Sec- re tary-Treasurer, Nelson Renninger. P resident Boyer appointed the follow­ing committees: Committee on Consti­tu tion: Nailor, Garrison and Shirar; Committee on Arrangem ents; Rennin­ger, Held, and Wendelboe.

The m eeting was concluded by a ris­ing vote of thanks to Mr. Kasdienbach for his interest and efforts in s ta rting th is club.

KX H lltlT OF PIOTUBES ON DISPLAY IN COURT

The Publicity Department has prepared a bulletin of pictures of many modern Industries with which many Drexel co­operative students work. These pictures show Interior and exterior vlewa of the various plants and In some cbms Drexel men can bo seen a t work.

This bulletin contains many Interest­ing pictures and Is a t this time dis­played In the Court.

With the new gymnasium ready for use Drexel now has every opportunity to run through a successful basketball season. Form erly our team had to prac­tice In a two by four space and con­sequently when It went on a huge visit­ing floor the players developed the in ­feriority complex. Now they have a regular size gym with every modern con­venience.

The game with Osteopathy was the first game In the gym but It is planned to have Penn here for the dedicatory exercises. Penn was scheduled here on December 19 but the incompletion of the gym forced the game to be played in the Palestra . Arrangem ents are almost completed to schedule the re tu rn game here on February 14.

The new gym has a hlg-her ceiling, a good ventilation system, and is well lighted, no artificial lights being needed In the day time. The equipm ent in­cludes modernized locker, shower, and dressing rooms, facilities for boxing, also special rooms and showers for offi­cials. The balcony seats more than five hundred.

The work on the roof of the gym Is not yet finished and is being ruslied. The roof will have a baseball cage and a running track which will give the teams a chance to practice early. Coach Halas counts on this additional time to size up the candidates.

Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Drexel's Good Samaritan, has again come to our rescue. Realizing that the new engineering build­ing left us without any open ground at all, and learning that a cheap hotel was to be built “next door” to us, Mr. Curtis very generously purchased the land and buildings of the Philadelphia Lawn Mow­er Co. for $250,000 and donated them to the Institute.

The gift was announced on Founder’s Day and the buildings were immediately torn down to avoid payment of taxes for 1929, which would have amounted to $6,000.

The property, as one can easily see by walking down Chestnut Street, Is quite extensive, running from Curtis Hall to the railroad and from Chestnut to Ludlow Streets, and is a very valuable addition to Drexel. Apparently Mr. Curtis believes that Drexel is a worthwhile Investment.

For the next year at least, the land will be Improved and used as a drill Krmm^ tor RM«0,-«rr, ■ €k »nk an# as a hockey field for the girls’ hockey team.

Mr. Ryder has expressed the hope that the students will u^e this gift to the best possible advantage >by erecting a Y. M.C. A. or recreation building on the land and developing it Into a campus commun­ity center. In basketball terms, the referee has given Us possession of the ball, and it is up to us to pass it down the floor and shoot the goal.

JOHN DILKS, ONLY FRESH­MAN TO MAKE TRI­

ANGLE STAFF

John Dilks, student of Electrical En­gineering, Is the only freshman from among the group which repoted at the T r ia n o u b office for tryouts a t the first of the year who has succesafuly com­pleted the term. There werp about ten applicants for work a t the beginning, but they gradually diminished their num­ber to one.

The T b i a n o l e would like to find more freshmen as energetic and faithful as he. I t la John Dllka, who has been writing "Old Curloalty Corner."

President Mathdson spoke to the stu­dents during the assembly hour on Wed­nesday, January f 9. The outstanding points in his talk were concerned with law observance, courtesy and promptness. The subject matter of his address was very interesting and partlculary applica­ble to the Drexel students in their capac­ities as pupils of an outstanding college.

The main point stressed by the Presi­dent and about which the rest of his talk evolved explained the fact that the Drexel students are the greatest benefi­ciaries of Drexel’s reputation. It Is Im­portant th a t the students realize the seriousness and the tru th of this state­ment. Each sudent must do his or her part to keep the reputation of the Insti­tute on the high level that It is now. That Is a reaponsfbllity and a splendid responsibility. The observance of the law, a courteous att i tude and the ability to be prompt all influence the reputation of a college.

OLBE CLUB TO BROADCAST

The Glee Club will broadcast over station WCAU on January 24 a t four-thirty o ’clock.

Curtis W. Dobbins, better known to his teammates as "Dobble”, Is captain of our 1928-29 court aggregation. “Dobble” has been our tap-off man since he entered Drexel In the fall of 1926, and has not missed a game until the injury to his arm, in the recent Rutgers game. He is a rangy blond-haired youth with a per­petual smile, fighting from the opening whistle to the closing gun, this being in­strumental in his gaining the captaincy of the present team.

Dobbins started his basketball career with the Cooper Junior High in Camden, back In 1921. Dobble also jumped center on this team and they won the Junior High championship of Camden 1921-22. After his graduation from Cooper Junior High, Dobble matriculated a t Camden High, but did not play basketball In his two years’ stay a t . th a t institution. Dur­ing the season of 1923-24 Curt played basketball with the Iroquois Indians, one of the best amateur quintets in Camden.

The folowing year “Dobble” transferred to Haddonfield High, where he played halfback on the 1925 eleven and jumped center on the court squad.

The next fall “Dobble” matriculated at Drexel and he has proven that he Is a star. When he recovers from his recent Injury he should be one of the outstand­ing stars of the present season.

DOBBIN’S INJURY HANDICAPS

Coach Halas and Ills Golden Dragons opened the new basketball court In Curtis Hall last Thursday evening with a bang, by defeating the fast-stepping courtmen from Osteopathy with a score of 42 against 2.S. The Blue and Gold has been handicapped by the injury of Captain Dobbins and the Ineligibility of John Shulpis, but the lioysTonght r ight on and they came out on top. The Halas de­fense worked wonders, as the doctors could only score one lone field goal and two fouls in the first half.

To our old reliable. Al Hey, go the honors of scoring the first field goal on the new court after one minute of play. Five minutes of the game had passed when Davis, the Osteopathy guard, sank their first and only field goal of the first half. Al Eckelmeyer continued the Dragons’ run by s<!orlng a goal from un­der the basket and was fouled, but he missed the tries. Ellis, a sorrelled-top Doctor, replaced Root at this time, but it did not seem to help the vlstors in their scoring.

Art Tucker, on a perfect pass from Hey, netted a Held goal and was fouled while making the goal. He made the two tries good. After the tap-off Art d rib ­bled the length of the floor and caged a perfect sleeper. Sixteen minutes of the half had passed l>efore Osteopathy scored another point, this point was made by Warner on a foul try. Tucker scored his fourth consecutive field goal when he received a long pass from Eckelmeyer, making the score 21-3, favor Drexel. Tucker then tossed in ano the r foul.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

Playful Pin-PricksIn this lH«ue we print Professor McDonald's slashing a t ­

tack upon hazing. We call special attention to this Menkenese criticism of our method of regulating freshmen. Professor McDonald asserts that hazing as practiced here does not per­form any useful function. He denies categorically that haz­ing is traditional among us, that It creates effective class consciousness in our freshmen, that it helps entering stu­dents to adjust themselves to new conditions of school-life. Professor McDonald holds that our freshmen, instead of giv­ing themselves airs, are far too timid, especially Intellectually. He makes an effective assault upon the belief that we must have hazing fjecause other colleges have it. Professor McDon­ald speaks of his arguments as “playful pln-prlcks.” We won­der what he would say if he were to liecome really serious about hazing. In any case, we believe the rational among us will approve his present arguments and that the sentimental will deplore them. Such a turn of events, we know, will not be displeasing to our professorial correspondent.

D. W,

A Dissertation on HazingTo TiiK E uitok :

Uecent Issues of the Tkia.noiJ’: have contained a number of direct and Indirect arguments in favor of hazing. Had these arguments appeared la the Drexerd there would have been a decided gain in propriety. For nothing is quite so funny as a serious defense of hazing. Here, indeed, is the very quin­tessence of the comic: attempting to Invest palpable hum- buggery with all the importance and dignity of the Decalogue, Magna Charta, and the Bill of Rights rolled into one. In plain words, hazing is a gross absurdity and an obvious fraud. That it is nothing more appears instantly one begins to analyze the arguments advanced in Its favor. Without excep­tion these arguments are just plain or fancy rubbish. Let us look at the chief Items In this rhetorical debris.

Item number one: "Hazing Is a tradition, therefore it should be continued.’’ This is undoubtedly the weakest point In the case for hazing a t Drexel Institute. This institution is alx)Ut thirty-eight years old. Founded in 1892, it existed until 1913 under one sort of dispensation. Since 1913 it has lived under another. Hazing had no part whatsoever in the first portion of our existence. How about the strictly col­legiate years from 1913 onward? The fact is that hazing, as we now have it, was unknown here for the first eight years of our collegiate life. The plague set in about 1921, since which time It has ravaged our good sense of private and public de­portment with varying degrees of virulence. Mostly, of course, the infection has been to the mind what chicken-pox is to the body—an Irrita ting but relatively, harmless eruption to which . children, fittingly enough, are especially susceptible. It must be evident, therefore, that hazing is anything but traditional al Drexel Institute. It is merely a matter of day before yes- erday really. In opposing hazing I stand for the true tradi­tions of this Institution; those who favor hazing set their faces against those traditions. I would return to our original w’ays of doing; the proponents of hazing would, Indeed, they already have changed those ways. If there are any valid rea­sons for our present practices, certainly tradition is not one of them. In a word, the people who seek to defend and jus­tify our current system of hazing on the grounds of tradition are In a miserably absurd position; they simply don’t know what they are talking about. When they drool and palaver about tradition, they apparently mean something they have recently done three or four times in a manner satisfactory to themselves. Tradition, indeed! Let us hear no more of that. The spectacle of students of the vintages of 1927 and 1928 prating about tradition is much too much.

Item number two: “Practically all colleges have hazing." For that matter, so do most high schools, not to mention Boy Scout troops. College men would do well to consider this. In any case, here we are asked by the advocates of hazing to fall back upon Imitation, the cheapest substitute for thought and the flrst refuge of a mind which has become attenuated, If not quite feeble. To put it otherwise, here is an old dogma reasserting itself, the dogma of social compulsion. It runs something like this: “Do whatever the other fellow does. Do It merely because he does It. Make no effort to ascertain what sense there Is In his antics; just go through the same motions. Practically all of the colleges can’t be wrong, etc., etc." Let nobody be deceived. All this is an effort to ewrape the labor of thinking the thing through. Here one is under no neces­sity to get at fundamentals. To be specific, here one does not have to see that even in the remote past hazing was probably without any very useful functions, that In some ancient time it was fathered by brutality and mothered by tyranny, and has at laiit fallen upon evil days only to degenerate Into mere

clownlshnesfl. This Is preci!«ely what hazing has come to in these effete times. Why do not the fake traditionalists go back to real brutality, genuine tyranny? Evidently their stomachs are too queasy for that. All they can take In Is buffoonery. This they must have because “practically all colleges have It.” Saving word, practically. There Is at lea.st Harvard, a pretty fair college, everything considered. Harvard has put away childish things: sophomores do not regulate freshmen in that institution. But I do not argue that we should have done with nonsense because Harvard has disposed of it. I am for put­ting down nonsense because it Is non-sense. To my mind, what others do. or do not do. with hazing should make little difference to us here. We have our own face to save. The advocates of hazing seem to think that this can be done by gawking, pop-eyed, at the other fellow to see what he is doing. I say It cannot. Hazing Is a fine example of an asinine cus­tom that has irrationally survived much too long. I am for terminating its existence here at Drexel Institute, however long it continues Its llvlng-death in other colleges. Why ape the frivolities, or wor.se, of others? So much for imitation and all its works.

Item number three: "Hazing welds the freshman class Into a strong unit." This is reall>- good. That hazing does not weld the freshman class Into a strong unit is as certain as anything can be on this earth. The proof of failure Is not far to seek. For example, where would our sophomores find them­selves If the freshman class were ever welded into a strong unit? If the sophomores haven’t gumption enough to answer this question. I don’t in the least mind answering it for them. They would find themselves In the P. R. R. freight yard, and, what Is more, there they would jolly well stay so long as a strongly-welded freshman class—which because of our special conditions always outnumbers them about three to one— thought It worth while to keep them there. Is It possible for any really candid sophomore to doubt that this is true? I know very well that when genuine principles (racial, religious, social, political, etc.) are involved group-consclousness Is usually heightened and made effective by regimentation and persecution. But there are no genuine principles Involved in hazing. Every thoughtful person knows this. In consequence, first-rate men in sophomore classes go about regulating fresh­men, If they take part in it a t all, with a hang-dog look on their faces. I have observed this no end of times. Such men know better than most of us the hollow pretenses that under­lie this common undergraduate practice. Generally speaking, It Is only the Intellectual rag-talls of a student body who enthusiastically engage in hazing. A really good student is seldom more than a half-hearted regulator. With a student who defends hazing or takes part In It because of social com­pulsion, I have a certain sympathy. I can easily understand a sophomore’s wanting to raise a little whoopee at the expense of freshmen. What I can’t understand is a student’s being taken in by a high-sounding but spurious justification for haz­ing like the one now under discussion. So far as I am con­cerned, such self-deception Is just plain childishness. Welding two hundred and fifty men together by buffoonery—marvel­ous! In point of fact, hazing In Drexel Institute tends to dis­perse the freshman class, not weld It Into a unified whole. During a freshman’s early weeks here he is not encouraged to stay around the Institute and thus get acquainted with his fellows. Intimidated, sometimes frightened, he seeks the first opportunity to reach the safety of his home. Freshmen have told me this time after time. And I have observed many others who had no need to tell me. I am not sure that strong class-consciousness is desirable in freshmen, or in any other class of college students. But this I do know: that sort of consciousness is not developed in the freshman classes of Drexel Institute by our present system of hazing. What such a system achieves under a different set of conditions I do not pretend to say. I suspect not much more, but here I am concerned only with our individual problem. Welding—rot! So far as the present m atter is concerned, my advice to all regulators of freshmen Is this: “If you are out for a good time, say so. Do not smear over your real motives the sticky unction of hypocritical social and moral purposes. By so doing you may fool yourselves, but you will assuredly deceive no­body else—and least of all the freshmen."

Item number four: “Students come from high school to college with an exaggerated sense of their importance." P rin ­cipally, this assertion Is just so much mouthing. It is a shaky generalization based upon Isolated cases of infiated egos, a commodity In which freshmen have no monopoly. As a mat­ter of fact, decent self-respect in an entering student is often mistaken for conceit. Frequently a genuinely Intelligent freshmen is especially set upon by regulators merely because he is intelligent. The typical freshman-baiter is a poor judge of self-respect; he Is not likely to know much about intelli­gence. No wonder, then, that mistakes occur. The history of hazing Is full of serious, even tragic errors of this sort. I have already shown that freshmen here greatly under-rate their numerical strength: that they have no true sense of their physical powers. In a similar manner, instead of over­valuing their mental abilities or their social Importance, they do exactly the reverse. In the overwhelming majority of cases they come to us much too docile in every way. I ought to know as much about this as the regulators do. I teach fresh­men in the most revealing of all subjects—English composi­tion. On the whole, the charge that freshmen regard them­selves as socially or Intellectually superior is the very essence of puerility. As an argument in support of hazing it is about as exciting as unseasoned dish-water. Into the sewer with it.

Item number five: “Hazing teaches discipline." This it does, we are told, to the extent of fitting men to command not only themselves, but even whole legions of men. Think of it! The secret of military genius is out at last. The General Staff of the U. S. A. will be as pleased as punch. But perhaps my eyes deceive me. No, there It is in the T h ia n g i .e for Novem­ber 28, 1928. There it is, sure enough, in a presidential edict signed and sealed by the omnipotent potentate who holds all rights of life and death over our sophomores. Well, If the Kleagle of this great class will permit me to say so, I am -not in the least impressed by his wild and whirling words. Like Hamlet, this time, I say: “Buz, buz!" I refuse to get all hot and bothered by what I have heard so many times before, especially if It is chiefly verbiage. This “know thyself and command legions’’ stuff may be all right, but it has about as much to do with hazing as cauliflower culture on the moon has. Enter a building by one door rather than by another, carry matches, push pennies around with your nose, take part In shoe-rushes, give mechanized greetings to upper-classmen, wear a cap of a certain shape and color, go around with a placard suspended from your lapel, smoke a pipe instead of cigarettes or the reverse, wear certain sorts of ties and socks, and so on ad nauseam. Do these things, my boy, for a few months and you will become an Alexander, a Caesar, an Attila, a Clovis, a Charlemagne, a Frederick the Great, a Washing­ton, a Napoleon, a Wellington, a Lee, a Grant, a Foch, a von HIndenburg, a Haig, a Diaz, a Pershing, a squad-leader of the R. 0. T. C., with a field-marshal’s baton in your shirt pocket— In short, a leader of legions. Here is a good example of what comes of getting down to cases: even the fanciest variety of hokum soon turns out to be Just plain rubbish. Why not have a bonfire?

1 could go on indefinitely puncturing the bloated pre­tensions of the liazing fraternity, but the above playful pin­pricks must sufl!lce. I try to remain calm In the face of mere silliness, especially if It be largely harmless. If I were really excited about hazing, I should have laid down a heavier bar- rage. But, after all, why bother to do that? I am convinced that hazing Is doomed. It has already lost all of its valid sanctions. If It ever had any. In the more sophisticated col-

We suspect that you have all been wondering about our Christmas carols. Well, just to relieve your suspense, we wish to announce that everything was fine but for one "stray note.” Kindly remain standing, with bowed heads, for one full min­ute, with due respect to Santa Claus.

At the conclusion of one paitlcularly engaging spasm a friend remarked, “I don’t know whether I passed the course or not, but I sure did enjoy taking the final exam.” There is a man that will enjoy taking his family to the dentist with the remark that he will call for them later.

We have been troubled, meaning, as all great men say, th a t we have had a great burden on our “ heaving chests,” as to the home addresses and pastimes of various captains of Industry, besides o ther problems of na tu re with which you are acquainted, but, we hope, only visually. Here they a re :

(1) What becomes of roasted chestnut sellers in the sum­mer time, and who buys them in the winter time?

(2) Do.old clothes buyers live on the profits from the cast-offs of college men?

(3) Where do the “beautiful women" and “handsome men" that pose for advertising purposes come from?

(4) Why did you bother to read all of this stuff, anyhow?

In regards to number three above, we think It would be nice to offer scholarships to our Business School to a few of them. If they can be found.

There Is another matter that we think is worthy of atten­tion and support. This pertains chiefiy to all men who have had student house dates— the high cost of the d a rn things— dates, of course. We suggest the following plan for your approval:

After the date is made, tell the dear “i t” that your allow­ance is $10 per week, you have four shares in a building and loan, you must send your grandmother a birthday present, and finally ask her to lend you $5. If she gives it to you, find out where you can get more, and if she doesn’t, why, she cer­tainly is not worthy of your attention.

If you do not care for this idea, do what we do, pay, and pay, and pay, and pay, with an occasional, “Yes, operator,” or else, “You gave me the wrong number," or, “But I put a nickel in.”

As we are recording events this week somewhat in the order of their occurrence, the following tale of one of Horatio Alger’s heroes is the next on the list.

We had just secured the day’s rations from the Nabor- hood Grocer (the kind you see advertised in the street cars), and, after safely tucking away our sundry purchases in vari­ous pockets and arm-holds, bravely passed through the door­way and started for home, somewhat in the manner (we as­sume so) of a hen-pecked husband. By this we mean that there are numerous tasks much more pleasant than arguing over a fair price for a pound of tr ipe when we could have saved so much if the folks would only use LIsterine Tooth Paste.

Our issuing forth into the street seemed to serve as a cue for numerous newspaper salesmen, of the believe in Santa Claus age, to attack us with their characteristic call, “Buy a Bulletin" or “Buy a Ledger.” Not caring for a paper a t the time and still not caring to snub these earnest purveyors of the news we (at least we think so) humorously said, “Sorry, boys, but (we) can’t read.” with the thought that they would justly excuse us from purchasing. Alas, what had we done? The future Presidents viewed us with sorrow, contempt and astonishment; in fact, their complete dismay a t our In­credulous statement was overwhelming. The situation was be­coming embarrassing to all of us, and but for the timely rejoinder of one of their flock we are afraid that we would be unable to account for the issue.

This is what he said (we think it deserves a paragraph of its own), “Well, then, buy a Daily News.”

It is hardly necessary to tell you, but we will tell you anyhow, that we not only bought a Daily News, but also tipped the youngster, not to encourage tipping among the younger generation, but to reward him for his devotion to his task and thorough knowledge of his wares. Phew’ Some cheese!

I . u sorrow we will have to admit that we will not be in school to greet the “gales of laugh te r” th a t will accom­pany the reading of these short essays of life. BUT—B u i^b u t , anyhow, who wants to get their hat blown off and their hair mussed due to the above-named commotion.

leges It has either disappeared or been severely ciroumacribed. In all such Institutions Tuizing is In prison or on the scaffold,

scaffold in Drexel Institute. I believe that the vast majority of our students share this desire with me. Why, then, not bring th is Insipid, tasteless silUness to the gallows—and drop the trap? In any event. If we want to continue our clownishness, let us honestly admit our love of c lo w n is h n ^ for its own sake. Let us stop yapping about the high social and moral v ^ u e of our buffoonery. Let us (rankly say we prefer being “collegiate” to being Intelligent.

THE REVIEWER’S PENCIL

The last effort of the T heatre Guild to give Philadelphia a thea tr ical season was ‘‘Volpone,” a "sardonic farce by Stefan Zweig, based on Ben Johnson’s famous comedy.” In the opinion of a g rea t m ajority of Philadelphia profes­s ional and am a teu r critics, it was the beit of the four.

In the opinion of this very am ateurish critic, It was inferior only to Its Im­mediate predecessor, "Marco Millions.” It owed Its s t reng th to Its presentation — the cast seemed very much more a t home th an they had In “ Marco,” in which Margalo Gfllmore’s playing a l ­most offended and E arl Larrim ore’s was certain ly shallow. The setting's for “ Vol­pone” were Just as beautifu l and fitting

. as those for “ Marco.”But “ Volpone” is not nearly as great

a play as “ Marco Millions.” I t has not the lyrical beauty of words th a t O’Neill has used, and It lacks the beauty and g ra n d eu r of his conception. The action of the characters is a bit too Involved, and does not follow as logically as those of the characters in O’Neill’s work. The characterization, with the possible ex­ception of Mosca is Just a little too uni­form. No character, not even The Gad­fly, s tands as well defined in our minds as the K han or Marco.

It is obviously Impossible to make a really adequate comparison of these two works, bu t since people Insist on doing it, th a t Is our slant.

Musical comedies come, and they usu­ally go In a few short weeks. Some­times one lasts a little longer and one is faced with the problem of discover­ing why. “ Luckee Girl” has played a t the Shubert too long already, and we .jreathe a hear ty prayer th a t it will soon re tire and stop wasting the perfectly good energy of a g reat num ber of people, both In the cast and the aud i ­ence.

•‘Luckee Girl” fails to do everything but please a good portion of the people th a t go to the “ thea tre .” Why it is so pleasing may be laid to the fact th a t it has a very, very slightly risque book, a group of women endeavoring to ex­hibit the ir feminine charm s In the most b latant possible m anner, a perfect ass of a comedian, and th a t It has gone a long with the rest of the country and played the “ word,” “Whoopee” to the fullest of its am biguous meaning.

VIKNNESE STUDENTS OBJECT TO AMERICAN DANCER

Vienna— (I. P . )— Vienna University s tuden ts who object to her appearing here have been the cause for throwing a police guard about Josephine Baker, American Negro dancer.

Students assembled in front of the lotel to which she had been escorted, ju t were kept from doing damage by police. At the thea ter they threw tear bombs which caused several women to faint. Twelve of them were then a r ­rested, according to police headquarters.

FROSH BASKETBALL SQUAD DEFEAT GLOUCESTER IN

OPENING GAMECoach Repscha’s Fresh basketball squad

won its opening game by defeating Gloucester High on the Gloucester court, the final figures being 36-15.

The teams waged a stubborn struggle through the first half, the end of which found the yearlings on the long end of a 15-9 score. In the second half, enabled by accurate passing and eagle-eyed shoot­ing, the Frosh boosted th is margin by outscoring the home team 20-6.

Eschelman dropped the oval through the net six times for the first year men, while Schwartz collected ten points for the losers.

Mrs. Fiske certainly does not have a g reat many years left in which we will Le able to enjoy her excellence. Con- fequently, he r p resentation of “ Much Ado About N othing” was made more worthwhile. Mrs. FIske has surrounded herself with a most excellent company, and has succeeded In bringing to this comedy a delightfu l a ir of fanciful in ­trigue.

We have never been one of those who stand on the ir chairs and shout of the excellence of one William Shake­speare as a dram atis t. Neverthe­less, a f te r seeing so much ado about practically no th ing (only two m arr i ­ages) , and pondering over the fact th a t some th ree hundred years have passed since it was written , we respectfully re ­move our h a ts and adm it th a t the Bard is up in the f ro n t ranks.

Before leaving, we m ust pass on the re m a rk of the woman occupying the seat Just behind (and above) ours. On see­ing Mrs. Fiske, she exclaimed most thrillingly, " I sn ’t she c u te !”

Dr. Matheson Heads Association of Co- Operative Colleges

Will Exert Wide Influence at Next M(*eting to be Held in Columbus,

Ohio, in June

Few students know that Dr. Matheson Is the President of the Association of Co-operative Colleges, a position to which he was elected while he was on his Rus- jian trip last summer.

This Association has as its purpose the solving of questions arising from co-oper­ative work. All of the co-operative prob­lems have not been solved, but this much is known: the plan works. I t is grow­ing fast in the United States and is spreading to foreign countries.

The Association meets annually, and this year the meeting will be called by President Matheson in June. In 1928 the meeting was held a t Drexel.

As chairman of the executive board, Dr. Matheson will be an active influence in solving such problems as securing po­sitions for the students, types of posi­tions and the questions that the student must answer in his report concerning the work.

On January 25 Dr. Matheson will at­tend a meeting of the Association of College Presidents of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg. The association has regular annual meetings and occasionally called ones, a t which all educational and social problems of the colleges are presented and committees are appointed to solve them. Dr. Matheson said that at present he knew of no Drexel question to put be­fore the Association.

When the gun sounded for the half the score stood 24-4 favor the Drexel Dragons.

Ten seconds after the opening whistle Kirkpatrick tossed in a long double- decker. This was followed by Osteopathy’s first field goal of the half, a long shot by Warner. An accurate pass from Tucker to Marnle to Bill Johnson from one end of the fioor to the other netted the Dragons another field goal.

The total enrollm ent of Drexel has in­creased 407c in the last seven years. In 1921 the day school enrollm ent was 641, and the evening school, 2323, or a total of 2964, compared with the pres­ent enrollm ent of 4125.

According to figures recently compiled by the Department of Public Instruction, Drexel now has the sixth largest day college enrollment in Pennsylvania, be­ing topped only by the University of Pennsylvania, University of P it tsburgh, Temple University, Penn State, Carnegie Tech and Duquesne University.

Drexel’s enrollm ent of 1493 tops Le­high by a score, and easily exceeds Villa- nova, Swarthmore, Haverford and Ur- sinus.

The growth of the day school is even more rem arkable in the light of the recent findings of Dean W alters, of Sw arthm ore College, of a curta ilm ent of s tuden t num bers in colleges th ro u g h ­out the country. He found decreases a t Muhlenberg, Swarthmore, Lehigh and the l.’nlverslty of Pennsylvania.

The Drexel student l>ody is made up of GK5 men in the various dei)artments of the Engineering School, 185 in the School of Busine.ss Administration, and one in th e 'G ra d u a te School of Library Science. Tlie women students are di­vided as follows: Home Economics, 435; Business Administration, 133; Library Science, 54.

With the completion of the new Curtis Hall, the E^vening School will be given sufficient sj>ace to allow fu r ther expan­sion. For the last few’ years their en ­rollment has been forcibly curtailed be­cause of lack of room and facilities.

Frosh Overwhelm Taylor Business College with

40-29 Score

The Frosh continued their victorious march by tu rn ing back Taylor Business College with a score of 40-29. At no time during the game was the down lown school in the lead.

The yearling quinte t worked together with speed and snap, which baffled their opponents. The accurate shooting of Schaffner and Eschelman, combined with fast floor work of Lieberman and Cranmer, led to the first Frosh victory in the new gym. Schaffner led the Drexel a ttack with five field goals, close­ly followed by Eschelman and Cranmer with four each. Hoffman was the bright s ta r of the losers, a rching in four goals from the field.

The Women’s Basketball schedule ihis year promises to be interesting. The manager, Jane t Letch worth, has worked lard over the schedule of games for

this season with the result th a t she has secured eight or ten colleges. Some of the names on the list are: Temple, Ur- •sinus, Penn and George W’̂ ashington.

.Miss Crawley, the coach, is very en- ihusiastic about the team th is year be- ause of the fine m aterial th a t has tu rn ­

ed out for practice. In fact there will i)e a second team. A couple games have already been scheduled with o ther sec­ond teams. A game between the sec­ond teams of the two schools will pre- eele the Temple game.

We are fo r tunate in having with us from the last year’s varsity team Bertha Anderson, Honey Henderson, Ella Kratz,

•Audrey Rust, Ruth Sionsky, and Muriel ritus.

After the varsity games' there will be a .series of class games.

All that is needed now is the support of those girls who cannot or will not play; they are needed to come ou t and root for the team. The first game will be played with Ursinus on the Ursinus court, Jan u a ry 24th.

the opening of the sorority rushing sea­son. The annual Pan-Hellenic party proved to be ra th e r small this year due to bad weather. However enough fresh ­men were present to make it successful as far as enjoyment is concerned. Fol­lowing an evening of dancing the usual skits were presented.

Each sorority is given an informal and a formal party. Delta Sigma Ep­silon gave a Bohemian Party in the Art Gallery on Tuesday, Jan u a ry 8th. Alpha Sigma Alpha held their Form al Dance a t the Hotel Marlyn last Friday. Tri-Slgma held their dance a t the Hotel Walton on Saturday. The Alpha Slgs gave a Dutch Party in the Art Gallery on Tuesday night.
