DREXEL TRIANGLE Volume VII—No. 9 FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932 Single Copies, Five Cents Honorary Literary Society Organized TO BE REWARD OF WORK IN JOURNALISTIC FIELD Comes Up lor Appmal By Facility Council Voiy Soon DR. STRATTON ELECTED An honorary journalistic society known as The Philologia, has been formed at Drexel by members of the three publications. The constitution came up before the Student Council on Monday evening, January 11. It will be placed before the Faculty Council for final approval in the near future. The society was organized with the ultimate view of joining a na- tional journalistic organization of merit. Membership is limited to fifteen individuals; five from each of the publication staffs. Provision has been made for the election of two honorary members. Dr. Leon D. Stratton, Dean of Men, has been elected as one of these. It is expected that the other will be a prominent member of the English Department of Drexel. The purpose of the Philologia is to offer an ultimate goal toward which one can strive while working as a member of either the “Lexerd”, “Drexerd” or TRIANGLE staff. The lack of interest shown by the stu- dent body as a whole in working for positions on the staffs of the publi- cations was also a factor in the for- mation of this society. The organ- izers feel that this final goal will arouse a desire to become members of the publication staffs in more students. Membership of the Philologia is by election. Only active members of each staff are eligible for member- ship. The need was felt for an organi- zation of this type by several men active in the journalistic field at Drexel. Among them are R. G. Mac- Iver, Jr., Editor-in-Chief, 1932 “Lex - erd”; Charles Hobson, Editor-in- Chief of “Drexerd”; John R. Mont- gomery, Editor-in-Chief of the TRIANGLE; Leon Rubin, Managing (Continued on Page 3) Important Non-League Game Will Be On Home Court All photos must be returned to the photographer not later than Jan. 21 or they will not appear in the 1932 “Lexerd.” All men unable to have their photos taken last term because of industry may have them taken this term up to Jan. 21. No appointment is necessary. DRAGONS W ia MEET JUNUTIANS WEDNESDAY This coming week the Dragons have two important basketball games on the sport card. The first game will be played in Curtis Hall on Wednesday with the Juniata five. This is not a league contest since Juniata is not a member of the East- ern Pennsylvania Collegiate Basket- ball League, however it is a very important games on the Dragons’ schedule. Last year Juniata defeat- ed the Dragon five at Huntingdon by a 44-30 score. This game with the boys from Juniata will mark the Dragons’ last appearance on their home court until February 1. Next Saturday night, January 23, the Dragons play their third league game. This game will be with the strong Lebanon Valley five at Ann- ville. MISS WORRELL'S TRIP ROUND WORLD Education Found in Trafel — Advises Students to do Some In the Future Miss Harriet E. Worrell returned recently from a trip around the world and during the time spent vis- iting various countries she saw countless interesting sights and met with some unique experiences. Trav- eling westward on the Dollar Line, Miss Worrel set sail from Los An- geles and made as her stopping places San Francisco, Honolulu, Ja- pan, Shanghai, Hongkong, Manila, Singapore, Penang, Colombo, Suez, Cairo, Alexandria, Naples, Genoa and Marseilles. The trip to Cairo was made by auto over the desert; and from Cairo to Alexandria by train. In the following Miss Worrel gives a brief review of the most outstand- ing events of her trip. “Around the world by traveling westward on the Dollar Line which has a boat sailing from New York every two weeks. We sailed from Los Angeles, stopping at San Fran- cisco, Honolulu, Japan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore, Penang, Colombo, Suez, then by auto over the desert to Cairo and from Cairo to Alexandria by train and then rejoined our boat. On the Medi- terranean we stopped at Naples, Genoa and Marseilles. Our next stop was New York. “Honolulu, the land of pineapples and sugar cane, where they decorate you with leis to welcome you on your arrival! When you depart they again decorate you and aher sail- ing you throw them into the ocean, meaning you will return some day. “Manila. Improvements, including a $7,000,000 pier, the best-equipped pier we saw, have been made by our country, but most of the Filipinos are very unappreciative and feel that they could have done the same thing without our help. Perhaps they could, but would they have done itt The Legislative and Post Office buildings are very beautiful and were designed by a Drexel graduate, Jan Arellano, now connected with the Department of Public Works in Manila. (Miss Worrell’s story will be con- tinued in a later edition of the TRIANGLE.) KAPPA SIGS TO PRESENT ANNUAL MINSTREL SHOW Will be FoUowwl by Duidng To Ben Prilcbud’t Miuic DREXEL SENIOR DIES after short ILLNESS The student Body of Drexel Insti- tute was grieved to hear of the death of one of its members—Peggy Mae Whitbeck, a Senior Dietitian. Miss Whitbeck had been ill for a few weeks and was receiving care in the Pennsylvania Hospital. Last week she was removed to her homo at ('lark’s Summit and died there Fri- day, January 8. Miss Whitbeck was a member of S. H. S. Her pleasing personality and lovable nature won for her u countless number of friends and her death comes as a great blow to all who entertained her friendship. FENNA.CCBOSEN FORNDJIMYBAII Howard Lanin’s Orchestra Engaged for Gala Event to Be Held on February 12 The Kappa Sigma Delta fraternity will hold its first annual minstrel in the Drexel Auditorium on February 2fl and 27. The members of the cast are being coached by Dr. Robert Hanson of the Drexel faculty. This affair promises to be one of the most elaborate festivities of the season and due to the nature of the script of the show, any person at- tending can be positive of an even- ing well spent. At present the entire fraternity is engaged in the production and ap- pearances promise toward success. Just as a matter of custom, Ben Pritchard will furnish his usual “blues” numbers following each per- formance. “The Blue Dragons” are also aiding in the musical numbers of the minstrel. Can you picture the Auditorium stage being deluged with dazzling beauties and daring costumcs? Can you F The Seventh Annual Military Ball of the Drexel Institute R. O. T. C. will be held on Friday evening, Feb. 12, in the main ballroom of the Penn Athletic Club. The committee in charge of the dance have announced that they have engaged that incomparable of music makers, Howard Lanin, and his band, whose enchanting music has delighted the many couples who have had the good fortune to dance to his melodies at the Penn A. C. The Military Ball is always one of the outstanding dances of the so- cial calendar for Drexel students and this year will be no exception to the general rule. It is the custom of the R. O. T. C. cadet officers to wear their uniforms and these combined with the evening gowns of the girls and the dress suits of the men, plus the addition of multi-colored lights and various school and army ban- ners, will furnish quite a spectacle to all those who attend the dance. The committee, consisting of C. Reckard, Chairman; R. Lamar, R. Nixon, 8. Schockley, C. Leighton, V. Williams, R. Masters and W. Mc- Cracken, has announced that the favors, instead of being announced beforehand, will be a surprise and that they will be of no small value and joy to the young ladies who will be lucky enough to attend this dance of dances—the Drexel Military Ball —and as a popular radio star says, “We hope you’ll like it.” DOCTOR TAFI TO DDtECTPAGEAHT Plans Georgia Bi-Centennial Celebration to Take Place In Savannah DR.ALHUeiS ELECTED TO POST Holds Vice-Presidency for the Ensuing Year in National Organisation At the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Association of Teachers of Busi- ness Law in Collegiate Schools of Business, held at the Hotel Raleigh, Washington, D. C., on December 28 and 29, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi- dent, E. S. Wolaver, University of Michigan; vice-president, Carl Lewis Altniaier, Drexel Institute; secre- tary-treasurer, E. R. Dillavou, Uni - versity of Illinois. Dr. Altmaier, Professor of Law and Business Communication in the Business School, has said that this is a representative group of all ac- credited universities in the country. At the meeting the different profes- sors gave short talks on various methods of teaching law to the col- lege student and try to point out the need of such a subject in the American universities. These dis- cussions are written up and sent to various colleges as aids in teaching and enlightening the professors of the new methods of instruction. The Association is national in its •cope, and provides a medium for ex- changing ideas whereby a professor may add to his knowledge and not use old methods. As an example, the “case method,” as law is taught here at Drexel, is a comparatively new idea and has been accepted by the association as one of the beat meth- o<ls of enabling the student to grasp tlie fundamentals of law. Dr. Taft, Professor of Psychology and Education in the Business Ad- ministration School, was recently honored by the Georgia Bicentennial Commission by being elected director of the historic pageant of the 200th anniversary of the founding of Georgia, at Savannah. His plans, as yet, are not quite definite or fully decided upon but in his preliminary statements, Dr. Taft suggests that the pageant will be of such a nature that it will be possible to hold it entirely out in the open. His ideal location as he says, “would be on the banks of the historic Savannah River,” which would greatly help his plans in so far as natural sccenery is concerned. He also desires that all Georgia may participate in the celebration and not only have the festivities limited to the city of Savannah. In this way, he feels that the pageant may cover the history and growth of tlie whole state, not only of a certain city. He hopes the pageant will be a large affair and as such desires all the local help he may be able to obtain and he also desires to enlist the aid of many historic societies, such as the I). A. R., the Colonial Dames, and the U. D. C. He thinks that an event of this kind may be produced at a minimum cost if he has the complete co-opera - tion of all those who plan to take part in the celebration. Besides these, he also thinks that the Chamber of Commerce, Cotton Exchange, the Telfair Academy, the Georgia Historical Society, and many other clubs and patriotic socie- ties which have helped him before will offer their aid this time in the greatest degree possible. Besides the pageant proper, he plans to have balls, dances and par- ties and the like take place around that time as an addition to the gen- eral program. “Georgia,” as Dr. Taft says, “has, as everyone knows, played an impor- tant part in the history of the United States and a pageant depicting the growth of that state is an all im- portant one and should bear some relation to the part Georgia has played in the country’s growth.” Although the pageant will nut take place until the spring and sum- mer of 1933, Dr. Taft plans to spend his vacations down there and work on this great historic picture. Honorary Colonel Election Proposed We wish to correct a mis- statement which appeared in the TRIANGLE, issue of Nov. 20, 1931. The speaker at the Thanks- giving Exercises was John Dennis Mahoney, head of the English Department at West Philadelphia High School, and not Dr. Burk, as originally stated. DREXaWMSBY AdOSEHAKGDI Osteopaths Give Dragons Keen Competition in Second Fray Of the Season TRUSTEES NAME EXECVnVE BOARD Faculty Members Will Direct SchMl Activities Prior to President Appointment Four members of the faculty of Drexel Institute have been named an Kxecutive Committee by the Board of Trustees of the ('ollege to direct its activities pending the selection of a successor to Dr. Kenneth Gor- don Matheson, president, who died last month, it was announced by Alexander Van Rensselaer, President of the Board of Trustees. The Board made it known that it is seeking a noted educator to head Drexel Institute. The members of the Executive Committee are: Robert C. Disque, Academic Dean and Professor of Klectrical Engi- neering. W. Ralph Wagenseller, Comptrol- ler and Director of the Hchool of Business Administration. Willis T. Spivey, Director of Even- ing School and Publicity. Leon I). Stratton, Dean of Men and Professor of <’hemistry. The present arrangement is similar to the one adopted successfully in 1921-1922 by the Trustees of Drexel, when an Administrative Council of three was named to function while the Board sought a successor to Hol- lis Godfrey, finally succeeding in prevailing upon Dr. Matheson to leave the presidency of Georgia School of Technology to come here. Professor Disque has been Aca- demic Dean at Drexel since 1924 and Professor of Klectrical Engi- neering since 1919. He received B.L. and B.S. in E.K. degrees from the University of Wisconsin, where he taught from 1908 until 1917. He did graduate work at his Alma .Mater and the University of Penn- sylvania. lie has had considerable technical experience. At the pres- ent time he is chairman of the Mid- dle Atlantic Section of the Society for the Promotion of Kngineering Kducation, and is a member of the American Institute of Klectrical Engineers, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Mu, and Alpha Sigma Phi. .Mr. Wagenseller, who has held the dual offices of Comptroller of the Institute and Director of the School of Business Administration since 1922, received his education at Sus- quehanna \Tnivcrsity, which confer- red upon him the A.B. degree in 1900 (Continued on Page 3) Following the opening victory over the Textile quintet the Dragons met somewhat keener competition in the form of the College of Osteopathy five in the game at Curtis Hall last Saturday night. When the gun fired ending the game the score stood at 28-28, but Captain Ecklemeyer, foul - ed just before the fray ended, made good his foul shot, thus giving the I game to the Gold and Blue. Osteopathy scored first when Christesson rang up two foul shots. The Dragons seemed unable to get going and the future doctors led throughout the first half except for a brief time, when Drexel took a 5-4 lead. At this point Osteoi)athy went ahead to the extent of a seven point margin. A field goal by Reynolds and a foul shot by Bublitz brought the (Sold and Blue’s total to eight, as against the doctors’ total of fourteen as the half ended. During the second half the lead see-sawed back and forth and the Dragons played a far superior brand of basketball than that displayed in the opening half. With Drexel in the lead with only a short time re- maining, Christesson, star Osteo- pathy forward, stepped to the fifteen foot mark and made two points to knot the count. The gun sounded, ending the game just as ('aptain Ecklemeyer was fouled and “Eskie” stepped to the mark and converted the toss into the winning marker. The Dragons hardly seemed im- proved over their Textile perform- aace but in all fairness to the Gold and Blue basketeers we must say that the Osteopathy five was greatly improved over former years and put up a stiff battle. Individual scor- ing hours went to Christesson, who had r> field goals and 7 fouls for a total of seventeen ])oints. Bublitz led the Dragons with twelve coun- ters, while Wallace had seven and Iteynolds six. Fleming and Captain Kcklemeyer divided the other four points evenly. The Dragons’ glar- ing weakness was again their inabil- ity to convert the foul shots into markers; on the other hand, the pass- ing of the team was first-class. CO-ED MAY BE ELECTED BY STUDENT BODY VOTE Student Officers Suggest Brilliant Military Function PLANS TENTATIVE INSTRUCTOR IMPROVING AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS The students of the Institute will be particularly interested in know- ing about the tentative plans which have been proposed by the military students for the election of an Hon- orary Cadet Colonel to be elected from among the junior or senior members of the class. If plans are allowed to go through as there is a probable indication that they will, the girl who is se- lected for this position will not have her identity disclosed until the night of the Military Ball. She will most likely be presented with a colonel’s commission from the Military De- partment. On Field Day, an annual military event in the spring, she will help review the troops. The girl who would be chosen would most undoubtedly be one who is active in campus activities. It is indeed an honor which one might very well seek, for she who would be chosen would be covered with a glamour which would cause her to stand out among her classmates. Although there has been much comment and speculation as to who will be the lucky one, final plans as to the method of voting have not as yet been decided. The Military l)e]>artment is not sure whether the Honorary Cadet Colonel should bo chosen solely by members of the R. O. T. C. unit or by the school as a whole. Should the idea be definitely for- mulated, it will to a large extent, make up for the absence of the elec- tion of a May Cjueen. EDITOR OF LEXERD MAKES CHANGES ON HIS STAFF Mr. Henneberg Undergoes an Appendicitis Operation .Mr. Walter Henneberg, who is an instructor in the English Depart- ment of the school, has been absent due to an illness resulting from an appendicitis operation. Mr. Henne- berg was taken ill near the end of last term, at which time he was tak- en to the Delaware County Hospital. At the present time, Mr. Henne- berg is recuperating at his home in Lansdowne from where reports have been issued that he is improving rapidly. He expects to return to the Institute the early j>art of next week to resume his classes. The vacancy caused by his absence has been filled by his associates of the English Department. We are looking forward to the return of Mr. Henneberg and wish to extend our sincere wishes for his complete re- covery, Morris Friss, New Appointee; Rubin and Mellor Changed R. G. Maclver, Jr., Kditor of the 1932 “Lexerd,” has announced that the “Lexerd” Staff has been aug- mented by the appointment of Mor- ris Friss to the position of Research Director; Norman C. Mellor has been placed on the office staff; Leon Ru- bin, formerly Sports and Events Edi- tor, has been placed in the position of Managing Editor. Due to the lack of artistic ability among the senior Drexelites the art work is being done by a commercial artist. This should add much to the beauty and prestige of the 1932 “Lexerd.” Considerable progress has been made in the group photographs, practically all of which have been taken. However, there are about fifty senior activity sheets outstand- ing. If they are not turned in by January 17 they will not be used. The staff co-operates (when it can be found). It appears that an attractive Drexel co-ed living at the Dormitory will have much to do with the suc- cess of the 1932 “Lexerd.” MISS DORSEY TO CONDUCT PAN-HELLENIC MEETING Miss Dorsey, Dean of Women, will entertain the Pan-Hellenic Council at dinner on Wednesday, January 19, at the dormitory. Following the din- ner, the ('ouncil will meet with Miss Dorsey to discuss questionnaires which she has received from Kansas and State College. The members of the Council are Klizabeth Beatty, Dorothy Truax, liuth Pearsons, Anne Sullivan, Fran- ces Hanold, Dorothy Grand-Lienard, Jean-Ksther Reid, Emily Tabor and Elizabeth Swartz,

PHILOLOGIA

IN its aim to further and unite the student publications of Drexel Institute, the newly founded “ Philologia” will fill a long felt need in th a t it will constitute in itself a power and

influence beyond and above any of the individual publications. S tudent participation in the journalistic and publishing activities of the school has always, or a t least in the last few years, been characterized by lethargy on the major part of the students. The essential work and responsibility have been in the hands of a few willing workers. Up to this time there has been no ade<|uate rew ard for those members of the staff who have done excellent w'ork, for few members of any of the staffs outside of the editors are known among the rank and file of the school.

With this situation, it is only just tha t an honorary society, composed of those who have excelled in journalistic work, should be formed. In the past the policy of the various publications has been a m atter of the different editors’ personalities, but under the new regime a guiding influence extending over several years can be secured. This does not mean tha t a blanket of conservatism will be an outstanding characteristic and will act as a deadening influence upon the publications, but a t least it will be assured tha t a uniform high quality of work will be produced.

The enthusiam and record of the members portend well for the future welfare of the new organization, especially so under the guidance of the first president, who is a senior of high scholastic standing and an enviable record in extra-curricular activities.

At present “ Philologia” is a new organization with no trad i­tions, but, if the plans of the present members develop according to schedule, the new society will act as a guiding force whose influence will grow with the passing of the years.

RETURNS FROM TRIP

HIGHER STANDARDS

WE sometimes recognize a tru th when it is merely stated but more often b itter experience itself is our only teacher. Last year a number of seniors erroneously thought that

because they were seniors they must automatically graduate. They did not believe tha t the faculty could possibly have the necessary stamina to flunk or condition tliem in the face of their graduation. Having progressed witli comparative success thi'ough their freshman, sophomore and junior years, they ac- (juired a good deal of assurance and a certain amount of prestige which they apparently thought was invulnerable. It was a decided catastrophe wlien they d id n ’t get shoved through their last courses, a terrible blow to their assurance, and, in their eyes, u tterly preposterous.

It is unfortunate when a senior lets down in his last year, quite confident that he will graduate, if only on the basis of the good impression he has established for himself with his various instructors. This occurred last June. Several seniors rested on tiieir laurels. They wasted precious time lounging in the Court and in overdoing the social activities. To their infinite surprise they found tha t tlie scholastic standards were just as rigidly en­forced for a senior as a freslunan, sophomore, or junior.

Conse<iuently there was every evidence of “ wailing and gnash­ing of tee th .” Incredulity and distress was rampant, but nothing could be done to alter the conditions. Tliey had not done their work, had not kept up to the standard, and a deserved flunk was their only answer. Enlisting tlieir paren ts’ support did not improve matters. Naturally parents want to know why their Hill or their Jane fail to graduate, yet their queries, too, must be met with the sajiie answer.

One hesitates to give seniors advice at this late date. In the first i>lace it is only decent to suppose they have enough intelli­gence to recognize all this for themselves, and tiien again tlie majority of seniors must be given credit. They have i)robably never entertained tiie thought of resting on their good rej)uta- warning is timely and it is to those in particula,r that tliis is tion the previous year. However, there are some to whom this addressed.

The faculty is being urged to co-operate in every instance with the adminstration in keeping tlie scholastic standard eciually rigid for all. Tlierefore, you are urged to consider your own in'terests in the m atter anti turn out the best work of whicli you are capable, so tha t you may got through with plenty o f ‘margin.

B ut the telephone ! conversation must not freeze

A sudden cold snap might seriously inter­fere with long distance telephone service were it not for the studies made by Bell System engineers.

They found that temperature variations within 24 hours may make a ten-thousandfold difference in the amount of electrical energy transmitted over a New York-Chicago cable circuit! O n such long circuits initial energy

is normally maintained by repeaters or ampli­fiers, installed at regular intervals. So the engineers devised a regulator—operated by weather conditions—which automatically con­trols these repeaters, keeping current always at exacdy the right strength for proper voice transmission.

This example is typical of the interesting problems that go to make up telephone work.
