On Saturday, Jan. 14, a dance will be held in the Great Court for the benefit of the Alumni Student Loan Fund. The dance is for the benefit of the Alumni Loan Pund for students whose scholastic standing is high and who need financial aid.
The Alumni committee is composed of Dorothy Schoenhut ’2ti, Lucretia M. Kerr ’28, Norman Sehoenliut ’32, Charles Maschal ’31, Walter MacFad- yen ’32, and John P. Davidson ’2U.
Thirty-five dollars entitles graduates to a life membership iu the Alumni Association and this fee is contributed to the Student Loan Fund, which has lent over three thousand dollars in the past two years. I t may be mentioned that all interest payments have been promptly paid. Incidentally there are only two colleges which aid the welfare of their stu
d e n t s by a beneficial organization of this type.
As was stated above, the purpose is to aid students worthy of financial assistance; however, preference is given to juniors and seniors whose standards are sufficiently high to assure graduation. Moreover, the maximum amount to each cannot exceed two hundred dollars.

Drexei Debating Team to Engage Penn, and St. Joe
The Drexel Debating Team will encounter the Villiger Debating Society of St. Joseph’s College on Saturday, Jan. 21, over Station WLIT at 2.30 P. M.
Drexel’s team, John Walter and Johu Peunypacker, will attempt to prove the affirmative of the resolution, ''That several states should enact legislation providing for the compulsory employment insurance.”
There will also be a debate on the following Wednesday, Jan. 25, with the Zelosophic Society of the University of Pennsylvania, iu which Lawrence Smith and Samuel Wool, Drexel men, will attempt to prove |he negative of this topic: ^'Resolved, That the United States, regardless of the actions of other nations, should uauvel all inter-governmeutal war debtM.”
Tlie Young Voters’ League, a well known org.Tnization devoted to the improvement of municipal and state politics and including in its membership many prominent men and women, ha.s instituted a membership drive, striving especially to arouse a universal and intelligent interest on the part of college students in political a f fairs.
One of the most current efforts of the organization is to organize the independent forces in Philadelphia for the coming fall primary election. Under the leadership of Dr. Burke, Professor of Law at Drexel, the group hopes to constitute a political influence of sufficient strength to combat the grossly mismanaged political machine which at present controls the municipal affairs of Philadelphia. I t is in accordance with this that the organization not only has d^awn the leading figures in Philadelphia affairs to its banner, but also a very large percentage of Philadelphia college students.
Among the prominent men and women enrolled in the organization are Edward S. Morris, well-known young democratic lawyer and son of Rowland Morris, formep United States ambassador to Japan; Dr. Lewis Ju l ian, Director of the United Business Men; Charles Denby, Jr., former Assistant United States District Attorney in Philadelphia; George Woodward, son of the state Senator; C. Burgess Taylor, Registration Commissioner of Philadelphia; Magistrate Carson; Miss Gertrude Demoya, former Assistant Secretary of the City Charter Committee; and Thomas J. Walker, Secretary of the Committee of 70.
The last meeting of the League was held on Tuesday, January 10, when the organization was addressed by Mrs, Sarah McNeil, Assistant Secretary of Public Welfare, and Miss Vivian Shirley, feature writer of the “Public Ledger”, A group of lecture courses is also being sponsored by the League, Dr. Burke speaking in April upon current constitutional problems.
Special Methods Course ContinuesTeaching Methods Im
proved by Miss Radell Aided by Professor Black- stone. To Include Valued Work.
Several years ago Drexel Institute inaugurated special courses in commercial teaching methods Avhich are of outstanding value to the students on the commercial teacher-training curriculum. During the last year of this curriculum Mr. Blackstone conducts classes in general methods aj)- plied to commercial education and Miss Radell has the classes in the special methods in the teaching of Junior Business Training, Bookkeeping and Accounting, and Gregg Shorthand. The latest results of research studies on methods are discussed and plans of technique developed by the students. These faculty members are particularly fitted for their work.
Mr. Blackstone is a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and School of Commerce of Ohio University and received his master’s degree at Ohio State Normal School. He continued his graduate study in the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Blackstone has had 20 years’ experience teaching in secondary schools in towns of various sizes. In a city of 30,000 he installed a commercial department. He has taught at Girard College and in the Philadelphia City High Schools. He has also taught for 20 years at Drexel Evening School. At the present time Mr. Blackstone is teaching accounting, commercial teaching methods, and economics in the day school. His counsel is sought by teachers and students on curriculum problems and vocational guidance. Through his long experience and genial personality Mr. Blackstone has contacts with many high schools in this vicinity and is successful in placing the seniors in the schools for supervised teaching.
Miss Radell received her A. B. degree in a niid-westerii coll and her A.. M. from Columbia Uni\ersity. She has completed her residence requirements at New York University for a Ph. D. degree, majoring in Business Education and minoring in Personnel and Guidance. She has had several

Dragons on Short End at 42-32. Kline and Morrison Holds Scoring Honors. Jay-Vees Win From Banks.
The Dragon liasketeers played their first league contest last Wednesday night, January 11, with the Lebanon Valley College five as their opponents. The first half got uiider way with the follow'ing line-up starting for Drexel, Reynolds at center, Cook and Kline forwards, with Eckelmeyer and Wallace playing the guard positions.
The game proved to be the closest and most thrilling battle this year, and the final score was in doubt until the last whistle. Lebanon Valley finally won the game by the score of 42 to 32,
During the first minute of play Lebanon Valley scored their first goal. Soon af^'er, Eckelmeyer, star guard of the Dragons, gave us our first pointer on a field goal, and soon followed up with a basket to tie the score at three all.
The first half proved to be a great battle. Hoff going in for Knapp, who had replaced Cook, maSe several sensational shots. The half finally ended with the Halasmen enjoying a one point lead, the score being seventeen to sixteen.
The second half started with Hoff at center and Reynolds at forward for the Dragons, while the boys from Lebanon Valley had three changes in their line-up.
Soon after the sound of the first whistle, the score was tied at 18-18. Reynolds performed brilliantly during this period as well as throughout the entire game. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 24 to 18 in favor of the visitors. Near the beginning of the final quarter Hoff was replaced by Knapp after a very closely played quarter of the game ended.
Kline was high scorer for the Dragons, scoring 12 points, while Morrison held the scoring honors for the visitors, and was the outstanding player of his team. Eckelmeyer and Wallace^ performed in fine style for the Halasmen.
The preliminary game was played between our Freshmen and the Banks School team. The game resulted in another win for the Frosh, with a score of 32 to 22. Pains held the scoring honors for the junior Dragons.

Drexel Students Visit Navy Yard
Students in the School of Library Science Visit the U. S. S. Indianapolis to Inspect Its Library.
Students in the School of Library Science visited in December the U. S. S. Indianapolis in drydock a t the Philadelphia Navy Yard. To many of the students this was a unique experience, since they had the opportunity to view a battleship not only from stem to stern, but from its engine rooms to its topmost deck. The primary object of the visit was to see the ship’s library, in charge of Chaplain Neyman. As a pleasant conclusion to the visit students were served tea in the officers’ ward room.
The trip to the Navy Yard was preceded by a very interesting talk on “Naval Libraries Afloat and Ashore” given by Miss Isabel DuBois (Drexel, 1911), Director of Libraries for the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department,
Miss DuBois’ talk was one of a series which have been given in connection with the course in Administration of Libraries by outstanding alumnae of the Library School, Among those who lectured to the School in the fall term were: Miss Grace D, Rose (Drexel, 1898), Librarian of the Morristown Library, Morristown, N, J . ; Miss Hannah Severns (Drexel, 1927), li ibrarian of the Free Public Library, Moores- town, N.

Drexel Graduate Talks to A.I.E.E.
J. E. Pastoret Describes New Electrification Project Conducted by the Reading Electrical Staff.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 7, the Drexel Branch of the A. I. E. E. had the pleasure of hearing one of its former members describe Philadelphia’s newest electrification project. Mr. J,E, Pastoret, a member of the engineering class of ’28, spoke on the Reading Railroad Electrification, Mr, Pastoret has been on the engineering staff of the Reading Company since the electrification work was begun, and so is well versed on the subject. His talk was illustrated by lantern slides, and was followed by four reels of motion pictures which traced the work from its very beginning to the present time. The members were also given folders containing a map of the system and a brief description of its salient features.
Mr. Pastoret explained how the system was laid out radially, so that the distances from the central substation to the ends of the various branches would be more nearly equalized. The Trenton, Lansdale, Doylestown, and Hatboro branches have been in operation for more than a year, during which time very little trouble has been encountered. The Chestnut Hill and Norristown branf?hes are now nearing completion. They were delayed by the necessity of eliminating grade crossings so that the high speed service would be uninterrupted.
The central point of the system is at Wayne Junction, where the Philadelphia Electric Company transforms

Men’s Glee Club Has New SponsorE. M. Welsh Has Been Se
cured by Glee Club for Leader. Plans Under Way for a Very Successful Winter.
The Men’s Glee Club is now under the direction of Edgar Milton Welch, Director of Music at Bethany Temple Presbyterian Church and instructor of voice at the Zeckw'er-Hahn Philadelphia Musical Academy, Mr, Welch has traveled in many countries and during the war he was a Chief Petty Ofiicer iu the United States Navy. Since that time he has toured extensively in Spain, Morocco, Algiers, the West Indies, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentine, the United States, and Canada.
For ten years Mr. Welch was on tlie stage in musical comedy, operettas, and Keith-Orpheum circuit as soloist for Ernest R. Ball, famous ballad composer, up until the death of Mr. Ball. He was a menil)er of the N ational Male Quartet of New York City which l)roadcast for the National Broadcasting Company, and he has made recordings for several phono- graj)h companies.

I t provides wholesome and interesting recreation, for many students to the club extend a cordial invitation for all men to visit Mr. Welch in the Art Gallery at one o’clock on Wednesday for a voice try out.
In the public press of January .5, President Kolbe was reported as being strongly in favor of athletic scholarships. This is far from being the case, as the following statement, issued by the President, showS:
“I am now and ahvays have been definitely opposed to a th letic scholarships or anj* other form of subsidizing college athletes.
“I make this statement in view of a misunderstanding which has evidently arisen regarding my attitude in the matter and which is probably due to the fact that I tried to present the argu^jients on both sides impartially to a gathering of Drexel students at the annual dinner to lettermen held Wednesday. Thereafter I definitely outlined my opposition to a th letic scholarships—a policy w’hich I am sure all those connected; with Drexel Institute support wholeheartedly.”
The President at the meeting of letter-men, expressed himself as enthusiastically in favor of intercollegiate athletics and pledged his support to the Drexel teams. He is also deeply interested in the plans for instituting intramural competition.

“ Y” Members to Hold First Dance in Great Cour
New Tiles from Germany Laid inDrexel Court During Holidays
The retiling of the center portion in tho Great Court of Drexel Institute was completed during tho Christmas holidays. The project for tho renovation began last March, but owing to the difficulty in obtaining a tile which would match that already in the Court, the replacement could not be made. The old surface, of glass, was rough and a detriment to dancing. I t was mainly because of this rougliness that the work was undertaken.
The tiles were imported from Germany so that they would match other tiles in the border and the entire project, estimated at two thousand dollars, was engineered by Simon and
Simon, eminent structural and architectural engineers. Mr. Simons, the architectural engineer for the Phila- delphia-Fidelity Building at Broad and Sansom, and for Strawbridge & Clothier’s, took a personal interest in the work.since ho is a Drexel graduate, and has done much of the engineering work In connection with the expansion of Drexel during tho past decade.
Laid in cement and arranged in an artistic manner the tiles present a smooth sui^ace for dancing us well as a permanent improvement to the appearance of one of the most historic and best remembered spots within the Institute,

**Open House”
T h e t r i a n g l e wishes to extend on behalf of the student body of the Institute a welcome to the high school students who are visiting Drexel this week-nd. Due to the peculiarity
of present commercial and financial conditions, the question of college training for the next four or five years has become of supreme importance. It requires no great insight to perceive that the requirements of the' industrial world are becoming steadily higher due to the increasing number of individuals available for each position. It is only by college training that the individual is fitted for his future career.
In arranging “ Open House” week, Drexel has made every effort not only to present the advantages of the Institute, but also to show the broader aspects of collegiate training, regardless of institution. Education in college circles is completely different froiQ that of high schools and if the individual student is better able to understand the problems confronting him and to make a hiore intelligent choice of the field in which he is to study, the ultimate purpose of “ Open House” will have succeeded.
Athletic Scholarships
T h e announcement by Dr. Kolbe at the recent “ D ” Banquet regarding his policy of athletic scholarships, is to be welcomed as a great advancement in the management of Drexel
athfetics. There are, of course, several sides to the question and it was in the presenting of these various phases that Dr. Kolbe was misquoted by the city newspapers.
There is no doubt, however, that the abolishment of athletic scholarships is to be highly commended. The trend in educational circles away from the emphasis upon commercialized athletics has been growing steadily stronger, and it is well that Drexel should ’je among the leaders in tiiis movement.
The continiiance of athletic scholarships at Drexel would not only foster to a further extent a condition which has been steadily recognized as undesirable, but would also endanger the scholastic standing of the Institute in the educational world. The athletic teams of any college do perform a valuable service for their schools, and due to the peculiarity of our educational system, appear to have grown to be a necessity for the commercial success of any educational institution.
However valuable the service of athletes are, they are no more aluable than the services of the other students Avho support the
various extra-curricular activities. The commercial value of the former is greater, but this is small reason for the discrimination
hich exists under any system of giving scholarships for athletic bility only.
Calvin Coolidge^^TATESMEN come into our midst—play their roles—and make \ their exits. Sometimes at their death, their roles are lauded
—more often they are forgotten.Recently, however, a stateman passed from our midst. His
•ole was a silent one—but, the eflt’eeta of that taciturn piece of cting were keen and lasting. Many people laughed at the Sphinx -others jeered—few appreciated the fineness, the delicacy of the iilicult part. The harangue of the mob—if it did touch him— ’as quickly erased. Ho was above it—it went around him—not irougb him.
And the ironic part of the situation is—that not until Calvin ilidge’s demise did we realize the inherent qualities* of that
iividual. Laconic in speech, determined in actions, dry in humor t,eady and strong in his oonviotions, which he carried through to he ^ ish . A standard among and for future public men, Calvin 'tolidge embodies an American, if not a world ideal.

Temple T'liivcrsity sends us this gem:
At C’hristmas many a co-ed gets a present from her past.
Some girls are cold sober. Others are always cold.
Some walk home from rides. Others ride home from walks.
Harvard men who desire employment are enrolled on a social register whose business it is to furnish male escorts for “deb” parties. And Yale students are paid a sum of two dollars to act as pall-bearers. We’ll wager the corpses shiver with delight when they realize that they are being carried by men of intellect.
Students at Columbia are compiling a list of gramatical errors made by instructors in a campaign for “better English usage by faculty members.” The faculty ought to retaliate by making the students suggest the proper corrections.
When the entire student body went on strike at the Indian Agricultural School at Chapingo, Mexico, the authorities advertised for a new student body.
Having firmly resolved not to resolve any New Year resolutions, we hereby declare that we shall endeavor to:1. Be kind to dumb animals, includ
ing blondes and trafl&c cops.Pass the next term’s finals with nothing less than “A’s.” Any other mark will be cheerfully refunded.Rescue Tarzan from the jungles and bring him back to Drexel to play with the Halasmen. A centuple threat man like Tarzan is too valuable to be allowed to play tag with apes all his life.
At Bryn Mawr an incipient (very incipient) zoologist, asked on a quiz to define morphology, wrote that it was the study of sleep. And an explanation of the mechanism by which a frog croaks is that “ the sound is omitted forth from the vocal cords after going through a lot of pipes.”
Professor Greet, of Barnard College, has discovered that “yeah” is not modern slang but as far back as 849 was used by King Alfred as well as frequently occurring in Chaucer’s fourteenth century works.
From Vassar comes this list of much-needed uses of a cap and gown: Cap:
L With proper motion of the head the tassel makes a bandy fly swisher.
2. May be used as fish bowl with stationary bottom.
3. Or as waste basket, or ash tray.4. Excellent for balancing books on
the head.5. To make the ,ainintelligent look
studious. (If this fails, study.)Gown:
1. May be used as rain coat; wi4h detachable scarf, as evening wrap.
2. May be used as pen wiper in exams.
3. As winding sheet; as disguise.4. To conceal excess poundage (if
this doesn’t work, reduce).
College is fast becoming a sleeping institution. More and more people are sleeping in class each day. Why not use “I ’ll see you in my dreams” as a theme song?
At Lincoln Memorial Uiiiversity in Harrogate, Tennessee, hazing of freshmen lias been a custom for thir- ty-five years, but upper classmpi grabbed a young professor by mistake recently—and there’ll be no more hazing.
In the middle of the campus there is a newly made grave, dug by students, with the following epitaph:

If you have wondered about the “others” in the heading of the above, then wonder no more. I am the “others” he refers to. He “flggered as how” he’d have to turn the job ovrr to somebody,—some time.

It cost me plenty to use the above title. Yep—-a Drexel jjenhant, three two-hour quiz books and a pair of suspenders. He only got as far as the door with my tux studs. I had to draw the line somewhere.

Just think of it! My suspenders! Imagine my embarrassment!

So today is Open House day at Drexel. I am not aware of any stereotyped methods of welcoming the young men and women, together with their honored parents, to our halls. I t “goes without saying” that every door is opened and all the men and women in charge of the various departments are eager to explain any method or process that is on display.

Although visitors are welcome at all times, such days as today and tomorrow are the only days of the year that we have every department functioning at the same time.

The writer of this column of last term says to me, “Chick, one of the boys I know told me that my column was terrible.” So I says to him, “Ed, or bean-ol’ top-ol’ sock-ol’ pal-ol’ kid- ol’ boy! don’t worry about it. He reads every one to be able to kick about it, and as long as he 'reads the column, then you have no kick coming.”

There is quite a lot of written matter in the papers about the All- American Football Team. “Mac” on th e 'sp o r t i)age mentions several of the other institutions of learning with a couple of Universities thrown in here and there.

For center I suggest Mr. Kapp. Ever since he has been assigning men to jobs in industry he has been the center of attraction.

The guards should be Messrs. Taft an4 Blackstone. Nothing like having someone to take care of the psychological and business end of the situation.

And the tackles will be Mr. Dowell and Mr. “Larry” Mains. Since Mr. Dowell is a shortstop he can apply it to the opposing runner. Woe to the opposing tackle if he’s an insurance salesman! The way I ’ve seen Mr. “Larry” go through a term’s work in Mechanics in a half hour leads me to believe that he could go through the opposition like a cyclone.

For the end positions I suggest Mr. Gould and “Cap” Rogers. There! I have forgotten what end-men are sujjposed to do.

In the quarterback position we find Mr. Tartler. What he can do with numbers is amazing.

For the halfbacks we have Mr. Thunder and Mr. Sharp, Mr. Sharp always takes one step instead of two.

For thy black and crusty caking Is the sign of manhood’s making,—
Whirling heads and innards quaking To attest thy magic power;
In thy strength alone superior Man is great and life less dreary, or

H U M A y P E I X G . B v C h r U t n p h r r
MorJey, 350 pp. N e u 'Y o rk : Double- da}/, Doran d Co., Inc.Do you tire of reading about hu
mans who are so disguised, 9o concealed that their little plot seems more like a masquerade than an actual chapter of human life? Would you like to read something that is real-genuine, something through which you can live! Read HUMAN BEING, for Christopher Morley has caught “a human being in the very act of being human, and has set it down without chemical preservatives.”
I t all occurred very recently when the city of New York became quite pure and innocent—Diana had gone and left a lonesome place against the sky. Hubbard had seen Richard Roe but wasn’t particularly interested in the man—that is, until Mr. Roe passed away. And then Hubbard conceived the idea of writing a biography—Richard Roe was the victim. The biographer commences w’ith Mr. Roe’s early business career—when that individual worked in the box office of a theater. I t is there that he meets his beautiful but domineering wife, Lucille. They move to the foot of Morningside Park. Lucille was passionately jealous because her sister lived on top of Morningside Park and always “came down to see her.” Roe is elevated to the position of a trav eling salesman. He works hard and diligently and finally, success embraces him. He is owner and manager of the Roe Pen Company.
Lucille continues to be dominating —-friffid—so much so that she and Richard become a little estranged. When Richard makes his next trip
to Detroit, he nippts Mlnni© Hntsler in a department store and that Indl- yidual plays a rather important role in our human's life. Her scenes sfe on the back street, but she is happy and she brings happiness into Rich- nrd’s saddened life. It is clean— nothing startling or revolting—stieh ns Faulkner would like to give ns. Above all, it is human.
Richard Roe is handled with great delicacy. Hubbard takes inflnlto pains with his biography. He v isits ' the haunts that Richard used to £re* quent; he listens to the conversation of those around him—he tries to get impressions that Richard traveled— he tries to entertain the thoughts that Richard might have had. And his efforts were not in vain, for he gives us a character that is so human that we almost feel tha t if we saw Richard Roe on the street, wo could walk up to him and grab his hand and say: “Why, how-do-you-do, Mr. Roe.”
Richard Roe’s work is very much intermingled with his life—a t times it is difficult to differentiate. His character, his personality are mueh in evidence in his daily routine. Previous to the war. Mr. Roe was veryJ^PPy he didn’t get an order from the War Department for a single eoa- signment of fountain pens—^because he hated to think of a declaration of war being signed with a Roe pen.* He is a man of utn^pst sympathy-— no Pollyanna, but good enough and bad enough to endear him to us—to make him human.
HUMAN BEING is readable and liveable. The author tells us many anecdotes that will amuse ns. He recounts many stories that make us think, that make us muse about this human being. He paints with unusual dexterity pictures of the city he knoH’s so well. And there is just enough sarcasm and satire to make the story spicy and snappy. Society with its humans is a fascinating sub* ject and Christopher Morley is an excellent student.

Halas Announces New Intra-Mural Sports Program
President Kolbe Very Much in Favor of Sports for All. Outdoor Sports as Well as Indoor Sports Are Featured.
Everybody PlaysAs a result of the interest shown by
the students last year in intra-mural •ports, a new program has been formulated which sponsors athletics for all. “ Everybody Play” will be the slogan.
When interviewed, Coach Walter Halas stated: “Everyone needs exercise. That’s a truism I need not develop. College students particularly need exercise. Unless a man comes oat for the varsity in his favorite sport, he generally goes through college without any physical development commensurate wit!h the intellectual development.
“Few may play on the varsity; all, however, should take part in sports.
“Exercise, for itself alone, soon becomes weary and tiresome and few care to swing Indian clubs and push dumbbells up and down a specified number of times during a given period.
“I t is the object of in tram ura l sports not only to make available to the student a variety of exercises, but to make them so interesting and a t tractive that everyone will desire to participate.
“In other words, we plan to offer with the new quarter, a most attrac-
•>4^ve program to the student body./ ‘Basketball is the sport of the sea
son. All students will be invited to the gymnasium a t specified hours. The coaches, and members of the varsity, will teach the fundamentals, so tha t the students may be enabled to play properly. There then will be supervised practice.
“Then—and this is the most a t trac tive feature of any program of intramural sports — numerous competitions will be organized. There will be, as in the past, an interfraternity basketball league; an in terc la^ basketball

Ted Markle to Lead Halasmen
Veteran Tackle Chosen to Captain Dragons in *33. Five Grid Tilts to Be Played at Home. Lebanon Valley is New Rival.
Drexel’s varsity gridmen went into a past-season huddle and elected “Ted” Markle, veteran varsity tackle, to captain the 1933 team.
Markle is a Junior in Commercial Engineering and a graduate of Hanover High School, Pa. His home- is in New Oxford, Adams County. The captain-elect, one of Head Coach Walter Halas’ standbys in the line, succeeds his running mate, “Ed” Marsh.
Announcement of the selection was made following a meeting of the Athletic Council, of which Prof. Dawson Dowell is chairman. At the same time William J. McNeary, formerly of Central High School, was chosen Assistant Manager of the team.
Varsity letters wore awarded to Marsh, Markle, Brevda, Burns, Eckel- meyer, Fleming, Gabriel, Hof^, Keller, Knapp, Martin, Petchik, Potter, and Wright.
The Dragons will engage in eight tilts during the 1933 season, Lebanon Valley being a new rival for Drexel on the gridiron. The schedule for 1933 is as follows:

INTERCOLLEOIATE TENNISShould intorcollegiflte tennis be
flropppd at Drexel r Our answer, to this is No!! We have heard rumors that the Fnrulty Athletic Council is considering such a step and would like to voice here our objection and opposition to such a plan. Look at our records. We have not come out winners twenty-five per cent of the time, yet we are always able tD reschedule meets with the same schools. That means one thing, tha t our opponents’ respect our tennis teams. Tennis has never been given a fair deal at Drexel. The courts are never in shape until one or two months after the intercollegiate season opens. Consequently when our men do round into mid-season form the national season is over. We would suggest here that, in conjunction with the new interest in intra-mural sports, the Faculty Athletic Council see to it that our courts are ready for use a t least a month before the intercollegiate season opens. Our best argument along this line, I believe, is the fact tha t upwards of forty men reported last year for the first varsity tryouts!!!
BASKETBALLW'ith the court season in full swing
we are now in a position to draw comparisons between our own quintet and those of our opponents. In this column we shall not attem pt to use comparative scores, but merely to passion our opinion as found by watching our own team in action. The season opened at Old Nassau and our Dragons took a merry sleigh ride for the first half of the tilt. They showed the Tigers their heels during the latter periods and were still on the way when the final gun spoke. Next came Hampden-Sidney. The Halasmen pulled this one out of the fire in nice style, but showed the effects of a “strenuous” vacation when they tumbled before Osteopathy last week. Were we merely to Tbase an opinion of the team on tha t game, we might easily concede them last place in the league, but they’ll cause their opponents plenty of trouble!!!
Penn A.C. Beats Tennis Team
Dragon Racquet Wielders Provide Stern Opposition But Are Beaten by More Experienced Men. Score 5V2 to
The Dragon racquet wielders once again bowed before the Penn A. C. 5Mi to in ja tennis match played on the fast Perm A. C. Court. Taking into consider* iion the galaxy of former tennis st^rs ivhich make up the Penn A. C. team, considerable credit must be given the Dragon team for their showing.
William Barry, junior squash champion of Philadelphia, lost to Dan Kiefer of the Penn A. C., 6-4; 6-4 in the first and feature match of the evening. Barryj with some strong service work kept the victim on the run during a good part of the match, but superior strokework on the part of Kiefer won for him in the end. In the first doubles match<,of the evening, Johnny Tuft and Ira Shaffer lost to Patton and Hopkins of the Penn A. C., 6-2; 6-3. J . S. Lawrence fell victim to the all-around ability of Milo Miller, former Princeton ace, 6-4; 6-2.
Ira Shaffer, by splitting his match with K. Delong of the Penn A. C., w'on the only half point for the Dragons. Shaffer played a consistent game and won his first set 6-2, but lost the second 6-4. R. Buck and K. Delong trounced H. Wells and H. Gal- fund of Drexel, 6-1; 6-2 in the second doubles match of the evening. • Captain Johnny Tufft of the Dragons, finished up the match by losing to R. Buck 6-1; 6-1. The former collegian made good use of a powerful service to defeat Tufft.

SWIMMINOThe above subject is so seldom men
tioned around Drexel, that we feel as if it should get its due consideration liere. With the beginni g of the fall term rumors began to float around the Court to the effect that there was to be an intoreollegiate co-e^swimming team. The idea was enthusiastically accepted by many of our girls who have mermaid aspirations. There was nothing done, the idea sinking in the )ool its advocates had dreanlred of. 3rexel is noted for doing things well,
yet to do things a t all, we must have them started by someone. At present the Co-eds have received one invitation for a swimming match, tha t with Swarthmore. I f the authorities would show as much interest in the sport as the girls concerned have shown, Drexel would sprout forth with her first In tercollegiate Swimming team!! What do you say! We think i t can be done!

Kolbe Presents Athletic Policy
Drexel President Opposes All Forms of Athletic Scholarships. Ardent Supporter of Collegiate Athletics.
Two days following his address to members of Drexel’s athletic teams and guests assembled at the first an nual “D” banquet. Dr. Parke R. Kolbe, our President, announced the policy to be followed by Drexel in all forms of athletics.
President Kolbe is a very ardent supporter of all kinds of athletic teams and a vigorous protagonist of intramural, or sports-for-all, athletics a t institutions of higher learning. He is, however, determinedly opposed to all forma of athletic scholarships and to all forms of subsidized a th letics.
The statement issued by Dr. Kolbe follows:
“I am now and always have been definitely opposed to all forms of a th letic scholarships or any other form of subsidizing athletics. I make this statement in view of a misunder- »landing which has evidently arisen

DraiSonettes Prepared for Current Court Season
Twenty-one Report for Practice. Three Veterans Back From Last Year’s Varsity.
Now that hockey is over and basketball season has rolled around, that game is occupying the time of those athletically inclined. Thursday, December 1, found the girls gathered for the first time in their gymnasium for organization and practice. Of the twenty-one who reported, eleven were freshmen, while the other ten were upper classmen. Three of last year’s varsity reported: Peg Brooks, ‘Olive Messier, and Olga Assante.
Frances Hanold, who is the manager of the team, has scheduled opponents tha t promise a lively season for our varsity. Games will start about the middle of January.
Out of the large class of freshman girls it seems reasonable tha t more than eleven should be interested in basketball. Anyone who has any desire a t all to become more familiar with the game from a recreational standpoint or as a prospective member of the varsity is asked to come out to practice. Apparently many of the freshmen are either timid about putting in appearance or they hesita te because they feel tha t they have no chance against others whom they imagine to be superior players. I f you have any bashfulness about coming out, please put i t aside and report.
Announcement of practices will be posted on the bulletin board.
WIER-FRA1ERNITT BASKETBALLThe Inter-fratern ity basketball
league got under way last Tuesday night, Jan. 10, when the first game was played between the Kappa Sigma Delta and the Kappa Phi Delta f ra ternities.
All the fraternities on the campus are participating, which makes a total of five taking part. The schedule is so arranged tha t each team will compete in ten contests. A cup is held by the fra tern ity each year with the best standing. This cup does not become the permanent property of any team until they have won it three different years. The first cup to be presented was won by the Alpha ITpsilon Mu fraternity, which was the winner for three successive years. The new cup
is at the present time in the possession of the Kappa Phi Delta fraternity. This trophy was put into circulation last year by our Graduate Manager of Athletics, William J . Stevens, The first games of the season which was played by the Kappa Phi Delta and the Kappa Sigma Delta fraternities, ended in a rather one-sided victory for the Kappa Phi Delta, the score being 41-5. "Lazowitz walked off with scoring honors, scoring seven baskets, while Strock also made a very creditable showing, scoring five baskets.
The Kappa Phi Delta team clicked in fine fashion, and displayed a keen eye for the basket.
The second game was played last night between the Delta Sigma Alpha and the Alpha Upsilon Mu fraternities.

Dragons Split Opening Games
Dragons Open Basketball Season by Losing to a Strong Princeton Team Trounce Hampden — Sydney in Second Game.
The Dragons opened the current basketball season by traveling to Tiger- town and incurring a 36-27 loss, on Dec. 8. Princeton’s quintette boasted several men over six feet tall, who used their height to roll up many baskets durine the first half of the game. The second half was a different story in that the Dragons outscored the (‘̂ hampions of the ' Eastern Intercollegiate League by 20-12. However, this margin was not sufficient to overcome the first half score which was 24-7, with Old Nassau leading.
Princeton started off fast, running up a 9-0 lead before the Halasmen scored a single point. The Dragons cut the lead to 11-7. Seibert, Princeton’s lanky forward, then scored four baskets in succession, which with the addition of two more brought the score to 24-7 as the half ended. The Dragons emerged from the dressing room very much changed a t the s ta rt of the second quarter and proceeded to take the game into their own hands. EcITel- meyer, Kline and Reynolds bombarded the basket for numerous scores. However, this second half really was not sufficient to even up the tremendous first half handicap, and consequently, the Halasmen suffered defeat in their first game of the season, 36-27.
HAMPDEN-8TDNETCoach Halas presented his 1932-33
edition of the Drexel basketball team to the home rooters for the first time this year, on Dec. 10, and the edition satisfied everyone by the 33-29 drubbing they handed Hampden-Sydney. The Virginians gave the Dragons a good fight and at one time early in the second half wrested the lead from the Halasmen.
The Dragons scored first and managed to keep a five-point lead during the better part of the first half. Plays seemed to be clicking quite regularly and this element added to some fine

Polly Sherman Leads Local Fencers Again
TIh' increasing popularity of fencing is af tested to by the fact that more girls have enrolled in fencing i-lass this term than ever before.
The group is being coaclied by Leanardo F. Terrone of the J’hiladel- jiliia Fencers’ Club, who is also an instructor of fencing at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Terrone is of th(! f)pinion that it takes eight years to make a fencer.
The girls plan rapid advancement under the leadership of Polly Sherman and will meet twice a week— Wednesday at one and another hour, the time of Avhich has not yet been determined.
While there are no scheduled competitive meets, the girls match their skill against those of Temple and University of Pennsylvania at the annual Play Day and it is expected that this program will be followed this vear.

from 60 cycle three phase to 25 cycle single phase a t 13,200 volts. the P. E. substation this 25 cycle current goes to the Reading Company’s main station nearby, where it is transformed up to 36,000 volts. I t is then transmitted to other substations along the line, where it is transformed down again to 12,000 volts and fed into the trolley wires.
The unique feature of these substations is that they are entirely automatic, being controlled by a single operator at Wayne Junction. His control board is semi-circular in shape, and contains a control key and indicating lights for every piece of apparatus on the system. On the upper part of the board is painted a single line diagram of the entire system, w’ith illuminated markers for each piece of apparatus. Thus the operator can tell at a glance just w'hat circuit breakers are closed and w'hat lines are in operation. The board provides for all sorts of trouble indications, such as the opening of a circuit breaker, a drop in battery voltage, or the overheating of a transformer. All this is made possible by new developments in the field of automatic supervisory control by the Westinghouse and General Electric Companies. The General F]lectric Synchronous Automatic Control makes it possible to operate any number of devices at a distance by the use of only 4 line Avires, w’hile the Westinghouse Visicode Supervisory (’ontrol requires only two line wires for the same purpose.
The cars are of all steel construction, seating 86 people, and are powered by t\vo 300 horsepower motors. They weigh 126,000 pounds loaded, and can travel a t 70 miles per hour. The method of interconnecting these cars electrically was developed by the Reading Company’s engineers. Instead of having a pantograph raised on each car, only about half the pantographs are raised, and the current is carried to the other cars by a high-voltage bus which runs along the tops of the cars on insulators. The bus on one car is ‘onnected to that of another by a hinged plate on the end of a rod which l)rojects from the roof of the car and engages with a similar device on the other car. This bus connector is oper- ited automatically from the control ab, and is drawn in w’hen the cars re disconnected. The pantograph is Iso raised and lowered pneumatically.
This sj'stem reduces w'ear on the trolley wire and the pantograph shoes, and guards against train tieups because of damaged pantographs. The cars are also equipped w’ith a foolproof signal system which keeps the motorman in touch with the train dis- l»atcher and warns him of any trouble ahead. This permits of high-speed operation Avith a maximum of safety.
Men Students Go Into IndustryLarge Male Contingent
Leaves School This Term to Take Up Practical Work, Many Return from Employment.
The winter term has brought the regular change of students who are going into industry, while others are returning from their employment periods. The only students who did not leave for the term are those tak ing four-year courses and the members of the freshmen class. I t is the policy of the co-operative department to send out men only after the completion of the first year, so that at this time many of the sophomores are going into industry for the first time.
The plan does not send the same men out each term, so that the reunion of many students was witnessed in the Court on January 3, Avhen many, who had not seen each other since their first year at Drexel, w’ere brought together again. Each term some men come in for the first day so that they may meet old acquaintances and exchange experiences. Many of the students working in the same companies have met in industry, and there is always a lot of good feeling and fellowship when men return to school.
The Co-operative System w’as inaugurated at Drexel in January, 1919, at which time it involved a four-year course with industry periods in the second and third year. In September, 1924, the Co-operative System was developed in the Commercial School on a five-year basis and the next year it was extended to the Engineering School. From its origin the plan met with universal approval and was in a large measure responsible for the acceptance of Drexel men by leaders in the various fields of study. Today the plan continues in the favorable position gained and the demand for men with j)ractical experience is in excess of that for men who have not spent some time in indus- tiy. While the system is not original at Drexel it is significant that the Institute is the only co-operative college in the Philadelphia area.

Inter-Sorority Dance Given at Girls’ Dorm.
The Pan-llellenic Council held its annual informal party for freshmen girls and transfers from other colleges on Saturday evening, Jan. 7, from S..1(1 'til 10.30. Reds Eber's Orchestra furnished the aria. The party is always held in the living room of the Drexel Dormitory. This affair is given in order to enable the Sorority girls and the new girls to become better acquainted. The officers, sponsors and advisors of the three sororities were introduced to the guests. Patronesses also were mentioned. A short history of each group was read to the girls. Refreshments were served by the hostesses.

representatives of the various dejiart- ments.
The Drexel Art (Jallery and Museum, both famous for their rare holdings, will also be open to the pu)>- lic and guides will be on hand to st-e that all questions are answered and additional information will be given to those particularly interested.
The “practice house”—the main laboratory for the advanced homo economic students, situated on the east corner of Thirty-fourth Street and Pow'elton Avenue, will be open to all w'omen w'ho may be interested. The Women’s Dormitory will be open for inspection. This building is practically new', having been in use for the past year, and is well equipped to take care of the living conditions of the women students wiio may live too far away to be able to commute.
On Friday evening the Dramatic Club Avill present a short play in the Drexel Auditorium; at the same time the varsity basketball team will be playing in an Eastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate game against Franklin and Marshall team.
For the convenience of the guests and the faculty of Drexel, the committee in charge have made arrangements for them to be able to secure dinner here in the Institute on F ri day evening.
To make this possible, a fifty cent dinner w'ill be served in the Men’s Grille, w’hich will be operated as a tea room between the hours of five and seven P. M.
NEW INTRAM URAL SPORTS(Continued from Page 5, Ool. 1)
league. There is no reason why numerous other leagues could not be formed—if enough students show' a desire to participate.
“At other hours, those interested in boxing and wrestling w'ould be given instructions in the fundamentals. No effort whatever is to be made to develop experts in these or other sports—merely teaching the interested one the basic and necessary rules and moves so that the sport maj' be safely enjoyed to its utmost.
“With spring, the scene of activity would, necessarily, be moved outdoors to Drexel Athletic Field and to the field adjoining C’urtis Hall. Baseball would be the order of the day. Inter- fraternity, interclass and other leagues could and should be organized.
“In the fall there could be outdoor basketball—a most intriguing game that, to the non-expert players, is much more interesting and pleasing than the standard indoor game—soccer and touch football.
“Men interested in these sports would be taught the fundamentals, be supervised in their play and, finally, organized into regular groups for competition.
“As the program develops and more students join in the popular sports, new features can be added. For instance, if a sufiiciently large number of men take up boxing or wrestling, there could be a tournairfent each year. The men interested in tennis who do not go (»ut for the varsity could also have a tournament, as some have had ill the past.”
Dr. Kolbe is a firm believer in intramural sports and encourages all students to take advantage of the opi»or- tunities thus offered by the new program.
The intra-niural schedule subject to further expansion, is as follows;
Hoxing and wrestling on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4.00 to 6.00 in the Women’s Gymnasium; and Wednesdays from 12.00 to 2.00 in Curtis Hall Gymnasium.
liasketbail, volleyball, and indoor baseball from 12.00 to 2.00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fri days.
Interfraternity basketball has al ready started for the season and the interclass basketball leagues is being arranged.

into the basket with such rapid consistency that it soon became a runaway with tlie ultimate wiiii\er in the lead by fifteen jioints.
Ilrown, with seven baskets and four t(tsses for a total of eighteen jxiints, walked off with tlie individual scoring honors, while Schnoll and Christ- ensiMi heljied with seven poii\ts apiece.
We must not forget to mention the cheering section which followed the future doctors to our floor, and ]>er- formed their duties with groat enthusiasm. Although we were minus a cheer leader, a number of our most ,l)oi>ular men and their friends made a capable showing.
The preliminary game was plaved between our Freshmen and the Haverford High School Alumni. This proved to be a very thrilling and close game. At the end of the regular period the score was knotted and after an extra five minutes of play the Repschamen came out on the better end of the count, the score being 46-41. Coach “Al” is to be congratulated on his fine team.
ATHLETIC POLICY (Continued from Page 5, Col. 4)
regarding my attitude and which is probably due to the fact I tried to present the arguments on both sides impartially.”
At the banquet on Wednesday, January 4th, President Kolbe stressed the fact tha t Drexel Institute can no longer belong to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities, if they continue to give athletic scholarships on athletic ability alone.
Dr. Kolbe stated that it is very unfair and dishonorable to give scholarships and not make them public. Scholarships should be given ijy a Faculty Committee and should never be professional as to athletic ability.
I t is hoped that all of the students interested in Drexel athletics Avill cooperate in this very important matter.

Miss Radell has been a nuMuber of the Iowa State Teachers College facnlty and is at present an assistant professor in the School of business Adininistration at Drexel. She has exhibited an outstanding interest in the development of Commercial Education and has been extremely active in the i)romotion and growth of the work offered in the connnercial teachers’ curriculum. Through her great interest and endeavor, Reta Sigma Tau, the Commercial Teachers' Club, was formed, and she was made sponsor. She is a member of several professional organizations and is well and favorably known in the field of commercial education.

Dancing will continue from nine ’til tw'elve to the harmony of Ben Pritchard’s Blue Dragons. The regular price to all Alumni members is one dollar and fifty cents; however, there is a special price of one dollar and a quarter to students, tha t is, per “deux.”
The occasion is being advertised through the medium of “The Alumni Review,” direct mail campaign, and posters.
Past events have usually seen the advent of, at least, two or three hundred couples. Yet the success of the present affair depends almost entirely on the co-operation of the students, who, undoubtedly, will respond w'ith alacrity to the invitation of the Alumni Association.

The boys from the South staged a short rally which tied the score, and then they forged ahead. Mattus didn’t last long this vvay, due to the brilliance of “Walt” Kline, freshman star from last year, who started on a scoring rampage which put the Dragons in the lead for the remainder of the game. The game ended soon after, with the Gold and Blue quintette on the long end of a 33-29 score. Kline scintillated for the Dragons w’ith fourteen points, while Berryman played best for Hampden- Sydney, scoring eighteen points for the Southern collegians.

At present Drexel has two officers in the Province, James Ferriter aiid Walter Barrett.
