'RESIDENT LITTLEDEFENDS CHANGE

IN CHAPEL HOUR

ORONO, MAINE, APRI.

April 8, 1924

ditor. Campus.

r Sir:

The proposed change in the hour and

vie of chapel which was taken up in

w of your recent issues, has produced

great deal of discussion and some op-isition. In deciding to try for two

-Lek% a change of chapel time to be-

even the second and third periods, cer-

.in facts of interest to all concerned

hould be borne in mind. These facts

lay be divided into two general groups.First, those leading to pessimistic con-

lusions.1. The scheme has been tried before

lid found unsatisfactory.

2. When previously tried groups ofmdergraduates congregated in or near\lumni Hall and created such disturb-!Ices that it was difficult to hold chapel.3. Chapel ran over into the third pen-thereby rightfully antagonizing cer-

aM instructors whose courses came athat time.4. The undergraduates have not de-red or appreciated a true chapel. Thesercises have more and more come topoint where the gathering is an "as-

embly." and not a true chapel such ass held at most first class universities.5. By ending college exercises atwelve o'clock the luncheon period ishortened for those students and in-tructors who have classes during theourth period.Opposed to these are certain factors

-Inch have led me to decide upon arial period.1. I am not convinced that the fac-

ors which made the scheme unsatis-factory when it was tried before arenchangeable or insurmountable.2. I have the assurance of undergrad-

uates in a position to know. that confu-sion due to disturbances by the under-graduates is avoidable. I have confidence.moreover, that all student honorary so-cities will see to it as a part of theirduty that chapel is uninterrupted andthat the new plan will be given a propertrial. An effort will he made to providerooms to which undergraduates may goduring chapel period in the case of bad•,veather.3. I am not convinced that by a con-

certed effort it will not he found possibleto end chapel on time. In fact I thinkthat a confession that it is impossible todo so is a tremendous weakness. Asregards meetings held during the chapel;write! on Friday it will be clear thatthe University authorities as such have00 control over extent of such meetings.It has, therefore, been decided to holdcollege exercises on Fridays from 8-11.35inclusive, ending all college exercises at11.35 and leaving the period after thatat the disposal of student organizationsfor their meetings.4. The fourth objection is of coursea very seriou• one, but if after the two

weeks' trial chapel has been satisfactory• the University authorities and to amajority of ii„. undergraduate body, itwill he continued as a dignified and prim-arily religious exercise. If chapel can-not be conducted in this way I shallrecommend to the Board of Trusteesthat it either be made voluntary or dis-continued and that thereafter requiredmeetings of the undergraduate body.Should such occur, shall he called "as-'emblY- and shall be admittedly of asocial rather than of a religious nature.

believe. however, that the conditionshave changed to a point where at thePresent time the undergraduate body isready for the establishment of an in-teresting and dignified chapel service ofthe type which is to he found at ourT'ilthhoritus institutions and at all firstclass universitie5. I am not so much in-terested in the past as I am in the pres-ent and immediate future.

ESTIMATE LOSS INPHI GAMMA DELTA

FIRE AT $25,000Building Erected in 1898; Was

One of Finest on the Campus

The Phi Gamma Delta House, foryears one of the finest buildings on theUniversity of Maine campus, was hope-lessly gutted early Wednesday morning,April 2, by a fire originating either fromdefective wiring or from rats gnawingthe wires in the partition of the mat-ron's room on the first floor.

In the fire was destroyed nearly allof the furniture and the personal belong-ings of the members, including manyvaluable articles such as notebooks thatcan never be replaced. The damage isroughly estimated at $25,000, only par-tially covered by insurance.Henry Eaton, Joseph and William

NIurray, Clarence Hart, Donald D.Mitchell, Thomas Glynn and RussellDyer were staying in the house and wereawakened at about 2 o'clock by fumesof smoke which penetrated to the "rampasture" on the third floor. They dressedhastily and hurried out into a blusteringnortheaster with what valuables theycould carry. only to find that the housewas doomed. The flames had passedthrough the partititum to the top floorand were threatening the roof beforethe tire department arrived.Orono firemen worked all night to beat

back the flames, but despite their efforts.the house was a total wreck in the morn-mg. The dense smoke prevented themfrom getting to the second floor to re-

'ye property.The house was built in 1898 and was

the second fraternity house to be erect-ed here.

Androscoggin AlumniEntertain Undergraduates

Something comparatively new in theway of alumni association activities wasintroduced during the recent vacation bythe Androscoggin Valley Alumni Asso-ciation. On April 1 an undergraduatenight was observed with a meeting andbanquet at the Dewitt Hotel in LCW -ton, to which meeting all University ofMaine undergraduates in the vicinitywere invited.Immediately after a real Maine ban-

quet, a short business meeting was heldsnider the direction of "Pat" French '17who is president of the association. Planswere made at this meeting for a bigMaine night to be held in Lewiston thisspring on the night before the MaineIntercollegiate Track Meet. It was an-nounced that the Maine band would bePresent and all plans indicated an en-thusiastic and spirited meeting.

After this short business session, themeeting was turned over to the toast-master, Weston It. Haskell '17, who wasalso chairman of the banquet committee.Four students, four of whom had comefrom some distance, were then called up-on to speak in regard to present day con-ditions at the University.Hazen Ayer of Union spoke concern-

ing the student senate, movements to in-terest prospective students in attendingthe university, about scholarships, and alittle about campus customs and newchanges in these customs.

Conrad Kcnnison of Madison spokeregarding the activities of the SeniorSkull Society; visiting week, the Stu-dent-Faculty-Alumni banquet and so on.Ile also mentioned a few opportunitiesfor cooperation between the alumnigroups and the students.Chester Cambell of Grey outlined to

the gathering, Maine's athletic policyand the prospects for success in base-ball, track, football, and the other sports.

Miss Pauline Chalmers of Auburnspoke very pleasingly on the co-ed'sside of the story. telling of the increasedactivities among the women students andof the real college spirit which the co-eds are continually showing.The meeting was judged a most suc-

cessful get-together by those present.Secretary Bob Clark has said that he islooking for great benefits resulting fromincreased cooperation between the under-graduate students and the alumni body.

Chapel

In a statement printed in anotherpart of this paper President Little hasset forth the leading objections to thechange in the hour and type of chapelsenice, and answered these objections ina manner that we believe to be entirelysatisfactory.A fact that is outstanding is that the

objectors seem to be overlooking some-thing. They voice their objections with-out apparent consideration of the factthat although the new arrangement mayin fact be decidedly inconvenient to some,these personal hardships should not beallowed to hinder a plan that shouldprove to be decidedly beneficial to all,the objectors included.Another thing that certainly should re-

ceive foremost consideration is that inthe main the change appeals to the ma-jority of the students. These men and.women realize that under the old formChapel has degenerated until it is notwhat it should be. to put it mildly. At-tempts to improve it have failed because,it is believed, students are not in the rightframe of mind at that time to take chapelin the attitude that it should be taken tobe successful. It is thought that the newtime should remedy this feature. To saythat Chapel cannot be held at this timeis to admit that other colleges are suc-cessful where the University of Mainewould fail. Students should attempt togive the new plan a fair and square trialduring the two weeks that it is to betried. in order that at the end of thattime they may vote for or against itscontinuance upon its real merits.

Discussion Groups

Although the first meetings of the dis-cussion groups instigated by SherwoodEddy came at an inauspicious time, whenprelims and preparations for home-goingwere foremost in the minds of the stu-dents, several were in attendance at eachone, and some lively and interested dis-cussions were reported.These group discussions are worthy of

the attention of all University of Mainestudents, whether they agreed to attendthem or not, for the subjects under dis-cussion are ones that every studentshould attempt to gain thorough knowl-edge of, and should be interested inhearing the views of others. Campusproblems receive foremost consideration,but others, such as racial and socialproblems, religious problems, and othersthat may be suggested in the meetings,are to be discussed.Asa University education should give

a student a broad and comprehensiveknowledge of many things, the man orwoman who fails to take advantage ofopportunities for intellectual advance-ment is willfully neglecting an importantsource of benefit. The discussion groupsoffer opportunity which should not bepassed by for students to broaden theirminds through contact with the views ofothers.

Our Flag -Where Is It?

A University without a flag flyingtrom any official staff is the Universityof Maine, for no flag floats over it otherthan those of the fraternities and girls'dormitories.That this is a P-Ifrettable and inexcus-

able condition is our firm belief, borneout by opinions expressed by many. Ifanyone can set forth any good and ac-ceptable reason why there is no flag of

the United States flying over the ad-ministration building of our University,which is a State supported institutionmade possible by an act of the Federalgovernment, the Maine Campus wouldbe glad to receive it. and to publish itfor the information of others.But if there is no good reason, the

Maine Campus believes it is the opinionof the student body that somebody, with-in whose jurisdiction the authority lies,should see to it that the American flagbe flown from some suitable place at theUniversity.

Will Start Training forInter-Collegiate Track

Track practice will start in earnestthis week for both the Varsity andFreshman squads. Over 70 men wereout for the Blue practice at the time ofthe Intermural meet, as well as about 50freshmen. This is probably the largesttotal that has ever been out practicing soearly in the season. After the threeweeks' rest, the athletes will be in goodshape to get ready for the spring meets.A dual meet with New Hampshire onApril 26 will start off the season. TheState Meet will be held at Lewiston thisyear on May 17. The New EnglandMeet is held the week following and itis probable that some of the Mainetracksters will go to the Nationals whichare held May 30th.A meet for the freshman team with

Hebron Academy has been arranged forMay tenth at Orono.With the exception of a few losses,

the Varsity team will be nearly the sameas last year. Altho not available tostrengthen the Varsity, the freshmenhave great possibilities in a team of theirown. A few of the men who should bewatched follow:Rounsville, Meserve and Berry in the

sprints; C. Cogswell and Stineford in the440; Otis and Torrey in the half mile;Clough, Hutchinson. Taylor, Staunch-field in the mile; Purinton in the hur-dles; Robinson, Bouchard, and Dicksonin the broad jump; Dickson and Lam-eraux in the weights; Hobson and Stit-ham in the pole vault.

Military HopThe first big formal dance on the cam-

pus this spring will be the Military Hop,which is scheduled for Saturday eve-ning, April 26. The dance will only lastuntil midnight notwithstanding the factthat it is to be formal. This year ad-mission will be by invitation cards only.The General Committee is composed ofMajor Mackay, Lieutenant Donovan andLieutenant Kelley. The refreshmentcommittee consists of Captain S.

Secretary Clark visited the BaltimoreAlumni Association Tuesday night, andwill visit other alumni associations onhis way back in the following order:April 14, Washington; April 15, Phila-delphia; April 16, Schenectady; April17. Springheld; April 18, Worcester, andApril 19, Providence.

College women, as a rule, live longerthan their less highly educated sisters.A study covering the mortality experi-ence of 15,561 women graduates fromcolleges, showed that at the ages of 20to 64 years the death rate was only 3.24per 1,000. Between 25 and 34 years,where nearly one-half of the total ob-servations were centered, the death ratewas 2.77 per 1.000. Among women inthe general population of the UnitedStates Registration Area the death rateat this age period was more than twiceas high. namely 6.10 per 1,(0).

TEE MAINE CAMPUS

Date for SchoolboyTrack Meet Changed

The date of the University of Maine

Interscholastic track meet has been

,:hanged from May 10 to May 3, accord-

ing to R. H Bryant, graduate manager

of Athletics.This arrangement will also necessitate

changing the date of the Hebron-Maine

freshman dual meet at Orono, to May

10.It was deemed advisable to make the

change because the previous date conflicts

with that of the University of New

Hampshire meet, which some of the

Maine schools wish to enter.

The Interscholastic meet will be held

this year under the same conditions as

usual, all high and prep schools of the

state are eligible to enter, and all events

of a regular track meet will be held. st

Undisturbed by alleged K. K. K.

warnings which he found pinned

to the door, his coat and his hat

upon leaving the Liberal Club

meeting last night, Dr. C. C. Little,

president of the University, calmly

folded the warning messages and

put them in his pocket, remarking

that they were undoubtedly the

work of some wag, but that he

would keep them as souvenirs, al-

though he does not have an

Book.Doctor Little first noticed the al-

leged warnings upon leaving the

seminar room of the Library,

Women Want Curfew Again

The twin cities of Alabama. Albany-

Decatur, may have a curfew law resur-

rected to keep its youths off the streets

at late hours. The League of Women

Voters have appealed to Mayor W. A.

Britain and Mayor J. A. Nelson of Al-

bany and Decatur respectively, seeking

ways of putting the curfew back on the

books. The old curfew law, no longer

in force, made 8 o'clock the limit for

night strolling.

Girl Nearly Enters YaleGirls are not admitted to Yale College,

but Louise Eighmie, daughter of an al-derman at Poughkeepsie, sufficientlyfooled all the examiners and others, topass the entrance requirements. Shehacked out at the last minute, fearing ascandal if she was found out. She de-sires to study medicine, and althoughless than 18, is proceeding with her am-bition, having entered Syracuse univer-sity as a regular co-ed. She wants to hea specialist in children's diseases.

This cap stays put!Other caps get lost but the new Williams

Hinge-Cap stays where you want it. Truly,that's an improvement.

Like the cap, the shaving cream in theWilliams tube is a big improvement, too. ForWilliams lather is heavier and faster-working.It holds the water in, so that your beard issoftened sooner. And the lather lubricates. Theraz r fairly glides over your skin! Because of asoothing ingredient in Williams you can shavedaily yet always have a smooth and well-cared-for face. Williams is pure, natural-white cream.Absolutely without coloring matter. Buy it, tryit—with the new Hinge-Cap!

Don't forget the Maine "Hello."

Editor of Campus,The members of the Maine Chapter of

Beta Theta Pi fraternity are now backin their house which has been underextensive repairs since the fire, Christ-mas day. We wish to take this oppor-tunity to thank the members of the fra-ternities and others for their hospitalityand kindly consideration during the en-forced absence from our Universityhome.New oak floors were laid down stairs

and one in the room on the second floorwhere the fire originated. Practically allthe walls and ceilings had to be re-plastered. Even now, all the roomshave not been repapered but we are gladto get back into the house.

Sincerely,Members of the fraternity.

Would Segregate the GiftedThe National Society for the Study of

Education has recently been appealed toby eminent leaders in education to fos-ter a movement to give more attentionto the specially gifted pupil. Of recentyears greater attention in proportion hasbeen given to backward or subnormalchildren.

Edison's Diet Nearly IdealSpinach, tomatoes, carrots, sardines

and milk form the diet of Thomas E.Edison, electrical wizard. Eminent phy-s;cians have pronounced this almost anideal diet—in fact ideal but for the in-clusion of sardines, which they general-ly agree upon as being only for thosewith good digestions.

President-Utile Pe-fen—di Change inChapel Hour

(Continued from Page One)I believe, in itself enough argumentagainst the proposed scheme to justifyits abandonment. Many of us have beenthrough four years of college life withexercises ending at twelve o'clock andwith the afternoon exercises beginningpromptly at 1.30. It necessitates hurry.but the chances are that both the mindand the body will stand the twenty min-ute shortening of the rest period.Should anything more than inconven-

ience result from the shortening of thenoon period, the matter may have to bereconsidered. If chapel, however, isworth having at all, it is worth the sac-rifice of that time.In conclusion I wish to say that many

students on the campus have expressedby word of mouth and by their personalattendance at meetings their interest ina higher degree of efficiency and ideal-ism on the campus. We have in theproposed change of chapel an excellentpractical test as to whether their inten-tion in these matters is serious or mere-ly transitory. I have complete confidencein its entire seriousness and am lookingforward to an ever increasing develop-ment of interest in making the chapelperiod stronger and of a nature morecompletely to fulfill its proper mission.

Sincerely yours,C. C. Little

EDMUND HALLEY1656 1742

Son of a London snap-boilerwho became Astronomer-Royal. At the age of 20 headedan expedition to chart the starsof the Southern hemisphere.Financed and handled theprinting of Newton's immortalPrincipia.

As spectacular as acomet has been theworld's electrical devel-opment. By continuousscientific research theGeneral Electric Com-pany has acceleratedthis development andhas become a leader inthe industry.

The comet came backThe great comet that was seen by William

of Normandy returned to our skies in 1910

on its eleventh visit since the Conquest

Astronomers knew when it would appear,

and the exact spot in the sky where it

would first be visible.

Edmund Halley's mathematical calcula-

tion of the great orbit of this 76-year vis-

itor—his scientific proof that comets are

part of our solar system—was a brilliant

application of the then unpublished Prin-

cipia of his friend Sir Isaac Newton.

The laws of motion that Newton and

Halley proved to govern the movements

of a comet are used by scientists in the

Research Laboratories of the General Elec-

tric Company to determine the orbit of

electrons in vacuum tubes.
