CLUB Assistant Editor of Ladies* Home Journal Lectured on Advertising The lecture delivered in Randall Hall. Thursday, February 23, by Miss Yackey, assistant editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal, marked the beginning of what promises to be an interesting scries of events scheduled by the com- ing weeks. Miss Yackey spoke on “Advertising,” pointing out the vantage points concerning arrangements and location and giving statistics which show the enormous amount of money which is expendid annually for adver- tising. On Monday, March 3rd, there will be a meeting that will be of special interest to Seniors. At that time the subject for discussion will be “How to Get a Job and Where.” Since this subject is perhaps uppermost in every Senior’s mind, just now, every Senior should be present. The services of Miss Sherer have been secured for March 8th. Miss Sherer will give a demonstration on electrical appliances which has every promise of being extremely interest- ing. Plans are well under way for a com- bined meeting with the Home Eco- nomics Club of Temple University. This meeting will take place early In April. And last but by no means least is “Home Economics Nite.” The de- tails of this event are as yet a deep dark secret — even the date is unan- nounced. ' FROSH HANDBOOKS TO BE PUBLISHED BY W. S. G. A. At a joint meeting of the Executive Board of W. S. G.

They are both in the Pennsylvania Hospital. W e ’re hoping that they’ll both be with us soon. Sara Bennett’s mother, Mrs. George W.

He has gone back as far as 1870 and examined a list running into the thousands. There is unques- tionably a fashion in such matters. A President of the United States or a popular hero can set one. Think of the success of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in this respect! Manj'^ have found this reminiscence of a great man irksome. We are told by the Professor that most men are dis- satisfied with their first names. Ob- viously parents should be more care- ful. It is the “fancy” names that hurt most, perhaps because the comic strip artists have had too much fun with them. What is there inherently ob- jectionable in Percy, Algernon, Clar- ence or Cyril?

The other Biblical names, such as Hezekiah and Zachariah, piously be- stowed in earlier days, are disappearing, though Amos, Moses and the like re- main.

But Mary is second, and after that come in order Helen, Dorothy, Marie, Katherine, Louise, Ruth, Elea- nor and Evelyn. These are all com- mendably substantial—a vast improve- ment over the Netties and Susies of an earier era.

FLYING RIVETS By EDWARD D. McDONALD Ruskin somewhere says that “cookery means the knowledge of Media and Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba.” These are all interesting girls—which probably explains why men are the greatest cooks in the world. It must be remembered, too, that with men, cooking is strictly a professional matter. They would scorn all thought of cooking merely for their board and clothing. —o— Considering her purely amateur standing my grandmother, on the dis- taff side, was a very good cook. One of her best creations was mock turtle soup, the base of which, as everybody knows, is a calf’s head. Not long ago reading in one of my favorite books, “The Boston Cooking School Cook Book, my eye lighted on Miss Farmer’s recipes for mock turtle soup. She has two, the principal difference between them being a matter of the “kick.” The first recipe calls for Madeira wine, the second for Sherry. If one is to follow Fannie Farmer scientifically one must have an ample cellar. What does the School of Home Economics have to say about all of this? —o— Lately I read with a class of young women Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” It so happens that I have one unshakable conviction regarding this play, namely that it is unquestionably Macbeth’s play, not 'his wife’s. Every great single passage, not to mention the magnifi- cent sweep of the whole action, sup- ports this interpretation. Yet I sus- pect my students resented my making so much of the man, so little of the woman. They would have preferred “the female of the species is more deadly than the male” sort of stuff. Shakespeare was not altogether lacking in inventiveness. Had he wanted to enforce this lesson he could have con- trived some crime for Lady Macbeth’s commission. As the play stands, she is accessory before the fact in one crime, after which she soon falls to fainting, walking in her sleep and other pursuits disturbing to peaceful house- hold routine. No, as a tigress, Lady Macbeth won’t do. —o— Three things I have never done: Driven an automobile, tuned in a radio set, seen Clara Bow. Three things I ave done: Hitched up a team of horses, milked a none-too-gentle cow, 'had my foot on a brass rail. —o— The Athletics are in the Southland, where they will doubtless repeat their magnificent triumphs of last spring. The Phillies have also gone off some- where. Oine wonders why. I hope that some of those baseball bullies were given one-way tickets only. —o--- I am told that the cinema master- piece, “Annife Laurie.” depicts in glow- ing colors the heroic qualities of the Macdonald clan. My spies also report that this picture presents the Camp- bells as ruffiians and thieves. I am unimpressed. The truth is that the Macdonalds were nothing to write home about. Isolated and inaccessible, they were for long impervious to new ideas and to new movements of all sorts. As for thieving raids and feudal broils—well, I dare say they knew something of these little affairs. As much as the Campbells and the Mac- intyres, at any rate. I s'hall fight to the last to preserve the Macdonalds from the horrible fate of being made into a model, peaceful clan. I go to the movies twice a year. That is to say, often enough to see all of the really good pictures. Secret agents bring me reports on the others. My first picture for 1928 was “Sun- rise.” This has the usual mush in the narrative, but the photographic work on this film is, I think, remarkable*. By means of skillfully contrived “shots,” the setting is universalized. It might be anywhere. The story is snappy: the husband, a one-time honest rustic, is disclosed in the toils of an urban vam- pire. She wears black, of course. The wife is neglected and disconsolate. But don’t be uneasy.

Later the writer came to realize ex- actly what the nature of the element so lacking really was. It has taken no little trouble, and no small amount of time, to get from the seemingly phlegmatic student body exactly what was sought. After numerous questionings, chats over cigarettes in the locker room, whispered arguments in the library and heated conversations at lunch hours, many of which by the wav proved fruitless, we were al)le to arrive at a conclusion. The conclusion is this: Tlie Drexel student I)ody is listless, disinterested and indifferent in their attitude toward spiritual, intellectual and moral attainments. Of course, this does not apply to everyone. There are men here who think. There are stu- dents here who arc alive to and feel keenly t'he dirth of student thought. But in the main we are a phlegmatic bunch of sheep, and those who really feel about the situation are either afraid of student opinion or too lazy to make their views known. It is certainly true, however, that Drexel has made some progress. But these steps forward have been made more .or less along social lines, and toward the furthering of social rela- tionships. We have and enjoy many very successful social affairs. It isn’t altogether true, as intimated before, t'hat progress has been purely along social lines. We have gone a step further and organized many i worth-while societies, but that is as far as we went. These same organizations are now in a state of hibernation, due to the disinterested attitude of the stu- dents. It is not, decidedly not, the fault of the organizations that this condition exists. The blame falls solely upon our own shoulders. Are we giving the Menorah, the Newman Club the “Y,” the Triangle our full measure of sup- port. Are we alive to the true mean- ing of their existence? Are we giving these organizations not only our phys- ical presence (sometimes hardly that), but our mental and moral aid as well? Tiiat is merely one phase of the problem as the writer feels it exists at the present time. There are one or two more angles that are certainly of as vital or greater importance than the above. For example, let us ask ourselves: “What is our aim in coming to Drexel? What is our ultimate pur- pose in coming to college at all? What, in short, is our mission?” Most of us will answer that we are here to become good engineers, to leave school as civil or mechanical engineers, or business executives, who occupy a social position in life above the mass, enjoying many little privileges because of our’ greater earning potentialities. Let us look this matter squarely in the eye. Is that or is that not the aim of most of us? Some of us merely want to carry away a certain amount of mathematics, or phj’sics, or chemistry. We do, pro- vided we are so fortunate as not to be immune to any of these subjects. Is that all college should give us? Well, if it is, it might interest you to know what an emminent educator said recently on the above subject at a convention held at New York Uni- versity: “A man’s inroads into human knowl- edge in four years spent at college are comparatively small. What one should carry away with him when he leaves college is not just so much material knowledge, for that is never knowledge in the true sense of the word, but something less tangible, something finer. He should take with him a l)roader realization of his spiritual worth, a keener outlook upon life.

COLLEGE CLUB OPENS DOORS TO DREXEL WOMEN Women receiving a degree from Drexel Institute are now eligible to associate membership in the A. A. IT. W. (American Association of Univer- sity Women). As soon as the Associ- ation of Colleges and Secondary Sc'hools of the Middle States and Mary- land placed Drexel on their approved li&t, last November, application was made for recognition by the A. A. U. W. Following a visit to Drexel by Dean Fitch, of Cornell University, the sectional group of the A. A. U. W., meeting at Swarthmore College, grant- ed associate membership to those grad- uates of degree courses at Drexel In- stitute. A recommendation will be made to the national group at their meeting next year and we trust that at that time Drexel will be granted active membership. Associate mem- bership, however, entitles Drexel grad- uates of the four-year course to mem- bership in the local College Club and we hope many of our women will take advantage of t'his opportunity. The College Club is planning several changes in terms of payment of dues for recent college graduates and as soon as there have been passed a full notice will be sent to all Drexel women eligible for membership. Drexel was represented at a luncheon meeting of alumnae officers held at the College Club on February 27th to consider how the College Club could be of most ser- vice to college women in Philadelphia.

For some time the writer has been turning a certain (luestion over and over in his head.

Ever since the day your Iiumi)le cor­respondent entered Drexel he has been wondering at the utter lack of that quality, that really undefinable some­thing that is so frequently miscalled “school spirit.” It is a trite and rather “grammar-schoolish,” manner of ex­pressing it, but that, in the main, was the first tho’ight, the utter lack of spirit.

Later the writer came to realize ex­actly what the nature of the element so lacking really was. It has taken no little trouble, and no small amount of time, to get from the seemingly phlegmatic student body exactly what was sought.

After numerous questionings, chats over cigarettes in the locker room, whispered arguments in the library and heated conversations at lunch hours, many of which by the wav proved fruitless, we were al)le to arrive at a conclusion.

The conclusion is this:Tlie Drexel student I)ody is listless,

COLLEGE CLUB OPENS DOORS TO

DREXEL WOMENWomen receiving a degree from

Drexel Institute are now eligible to associate membership in the A. A. IT. W. (American Association of Univer­sity Women). As soon as the Associ­ation of Colleges and Secondary Sc'hools of the Middle States and Mary­land placed Drexel on their approved li&t, last November, application was made for recognition by the A. A. U. W. Following a visit to Drexel by Dean Fitch, of Cornell University, the sectional group of the A. A. U. W., meeting at Swarthmore College, grant­ed associate membership to those grad­uates of degree courses at Drexel In ­stitute. A recommendation will be made to the national group at their meeting next year and we trust that at that time Drexel will be granted active membership. Associate mem­bership, however, entitles Drexel grad­uates of the four-year course to mem­bership in the local College Club and we hope many of our women will take advantage of t'his opportunity. The College Club is planning several changes in terms of payment of dues for recent college graduates and as soon as there have been passed a full notice will be sent to all Drexel women eligible for membership. Drexel was represented at a luncheon meeting of alumnae officers held at the College Club on February 27th to consider how the College Club could be of most ser­vice to college women in Philadelphia.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITINGS OF

THEODORE DREISER

By Edward D. McDonM

(Reviewed by Wilbur K, McKee)

MARCH 5, 1928

STUDENT (? ? ) GOVERNMENTThis being our last chance to broadcast through these columns,

w e’re going to try to express a thought that has been in our mind for some time. The problem is Student (?) Government.

W ebster defines government as control, direction of the affairs of state; regulation. Therefore, by student government we under­stand it to mean control and regulation of the affairs pertaining to students by the students themselves.

After seeing the way things work out here with regard to the women, we think a better name would be “Faculty Government with

•Student Representatives.” How is it, may we ask, that all reports of the meetings of W om en’s Student Governinent must be sent to the Dean of Women for her opinion and approval? It is our opinion that Drexel women are quite capable of governing themselves with­out a certain member of the faculty constantly “stepping in.” W e ask, “W hy must there be a Faculty Dictator?” One officer of the Association resigned this year because she could not stand the con­stant “nagging” over petty instances. Much fervor grew out of this resignation and as a result a huge mass meeting was staged in Randall Hall by the women. That was over two months ago. Now we hear nothing. W hat’s the matter?

An example of this absurdity is the absolute dictatorship of the Dean of Women over the heads of the parents of women students. The women students are asked to present a list of names approved by the parents, as a visiting list— which is culled by the Dean of Women, many times names being removed!

W hat irresponsible parents they must have— not being capable of choosing the right type of hosts for their children. Another thing, if a girl is visiting with friends on her approved list, she must get permission from the Dean to attend any dances! W hat could be more insulting to a host and hostess? So it goes for many other just as foolish rules.

Next we come to Men’s Student Council. If there was faculty control in this body it wouldn’t make much difference. W hy? Well, as far as we can see the Council never does anything except run a smoker once a year. Do you know of anything else? This shioker w e’ll admit is a very nice affair. W e ’ve heard every year that “this is going to be a big year in Men’s Student Council.” W e have heard this so often we wonder when “this year” is. Unless the Council “snaps out of it” and actually does something besides the smoker, we would suggest that they drop their misleading name and assume this one, “The Smoker Committee.” C. S. H.

SCIENCE IN AMERICAAmericans have been told time and again that their scholarly

attainments are as child’s prattle compared with the mature achieve­ments of Europeans. They may have their Edisons and Bells and Wrights, who take their science ready-made and give it practical use, but pure science itself is not found on this side of the Atlantic.

Anyone who examines into what has actually happened will find that this is not so, writes Dr. Joseph Mayer in the January “Scientific Monthly.” America today stands in the foremost rank of nations that are contributing to the development of the sciences. Nor the contributions of such, men as Benjamin Franklin and Count Rum- ford stand on a par with those of any European scientist.

In those days, of course, Europe, in her sixth century of scien­tific activity, far outstripped America, in her first. But during the nineteenth century a period which saw an unprecedented develop­ment in all scientific departments, America equalled the foremost nations of Europe. Virtually the whole structure of modern science was erected during the nineteenth century; the foundations of mathe­matics, physics and chemistry were completed sufficiently to allow the building of a superstructure of astronomy, geology, biology, etc.

In that hundred-year period of scientific achievement, Italy declined, Holland and Switzerland remained static, Scandinavia and Russia advanced; but none of these nations yielded more than six scientists of note. Great Britain, France and Germany, however, each produced more than thirty men of outstanding excellence; and so did America.

Not only in practical application of science, therefore, but in pushing forward the boundaries of pure science in all fields, America ranks with the best. In astronomy and geology, Mr. Mayer believes, she leads the world.

This article from “The American Reviews of Reviews” is inter­esting in comparison with a recent article in another well-known magazine, which stated that America must look to her laurels if she intends to continue as a fpremost scientific riation. True, we must always look ahead and be on the alert— but we can consider ourselves of a thinking nation that has achieved great results in the scientific world and one that is not declining in efficiency but is progressing with real strides. D. W.

This volume is the eighth in the series of bibliographies published by the Centaur Book Shop and the third to be done by Professor McDonald. Readers of the Triangle of last April will recall a complete review of the Douglas bibliography and will need no further description of the series. New readers will do well to examine for themselves these attractive little vol­umes which have added not a little to the luster of “Drexeliana,” to use a term which might come from either Mr. Mencken or Mr. McDonald, who have much in common besides a mutual interest in Theodore Dreiser.

Professor McDonald’s book was very adequately reviewed by Harry Hansen in his famous “The First Reader” col­umn of the New York World for Wed­nesday, February IS. It is useless to carry coals to the Newcastle of Mr. Hansen’s statements. However, Drexel people do not need to be told by a New York paper that Mr. McDonald is an outstanding professor; indeed they possess better reasons for this conclusion than the rather unfair im­plication of Mr. Hansen that other college professors are not as aware as they s'hould be of the values in con­temporary literature. Nevertheless, we all join in Mr. Hansen’s lyric cry, “There a professor for you.’'

Theodore Dreiser stands today as the most interesting and significant man of letters in America. There is much in his work that can be and has been justly and vehemently condemned. Indeed Mr. Dreiser’s own foreward to this volume is in itself an unfortunate illustration of certain of his defects. But when all that is adverse has been admitted, there is so much greatness remaining that, like S'hakepeare’s Cae­sar, “he doth bestride the narrow world like a Collossus”—and the fault with the rest of us is in ourselves that we are underlings. So far two men have done much to defend Dreiser from the attacks of Cassius and his crew. They are H. L. Mencken and Burton Ras- coe. To these names must now be added a third—for Mr. McDonald’s study is not only of bibliographical in­terest but is the soundest and most scholarly critical study of Dreiser that has as yet come to the attention of one whose interest in Dreiser dates back to boyhood excursions into “The Delin­eator.”

Mr. McDonald’s critical remarks have the clarity, the wit and the orig­inal turn of phrase that have always marked his work. They have also his characteristic honesty, fairness and in­dustry in research. He has uncovered for us here two dreisers—the early and the later—well aware that in so doing he may give some additional am­munition to those who have long been sniping at the author of “Sister Car­rie,” but well aware also that his sub­ject will eventually stand upon surer foundations when the smoke of battle has cleared away. We owe to these thorough methods of research an as­tonishing and suggestive picture of a great artist emerging gloriously from the chrysalis shell of callow and credu­lous journalism. Sister Carrie, Jennie Gerhardt and the Tragedy seem all the greater as we learn of the Chicago Drainage Canal and the country home of Edmund Clarence Stedman.

The reader must not fail to read clear through from the introduction to the very last of the notes, lest he miss even one of the inimitable little comments in Professor McDonald’s own delight­ful vein. He cannot fail, as 'he does so, to pay mental tribute to a piece of lit­erary investigation, most accurately and thoroughly and withal most pleas­antly done.

DO COLLEGE GRADUATES ACTUALLY EARN MORE

IN THE WORLD?(Public Ledger)

A recent article in a newspaper has set me a puzzle. I can’t seem to solve without help, and it is a puzzle of per­sonal importance to me. I have two boys, both of them bright, who will soon be old enough to go to college. This article had stotistics going to show that college students earn on theaver- age much more than those who have not gone to college. The article start­ed me thinking of several college grad­uates I know, prize winners, who have hardly been worth their salt in earn­ing anything. Some of them have frift- ed from one thing to another. How can I tell Whether college training will really benefit my boys, or whether they will be like these prize winners? You will appreciate my dilemma, I am sure, and answer me candidly.

ANXIOUS FATiHER.Answer:My candid answer is, that you send

your boys to college if you can afford to do so, but give them plainly to understand that attainment of knowl­edge is not by itself the whole secret of successful living.

Urge them to study, but urge them also to take part in college activities that will help to keep them human, companionable, adaptable, friendly, courageous, resourceful. Help them to appreciate that college contacts of all sorts—with their professors, with other students in general, with classmates and teammates in particular—should be educative tq them.

I know, even as you do, prize win­ners who have failed to make good in after life. Really, though, they are exceptions.

Most prize winners do make gooc^ often in conspicuous degree. The ones who fail are unfortunates who have amassed learning at the C/OSt of neglect­ing to develop qualities of heart and soul indispensable in a world of person­al relationships.

Let these qualities be developed, plus the mental disipline and power accruing fiom college studies in the academic sense, and a young man does start life wonderfully advantaged. There is no getting away from this fact, borne out by everyday observation as well as by statistics.

Of course, on the other hand, the brightest of boys will be hurt rather than helped by college, if the college authorities and their parents permit them to loaf their college years away, to waste their time in nonscholastic dissapations, or to become unsociable hermit-like grubbers of information. I am confident from your letter that you are not the man to permit your boys to make any of these mistakes.

has made education his life work. He^ is a man who has studied the situation carefully, and whose word, one may be certain, carries weight.

He talks of education not as being a son'iething complicated by credit hours and rosters, but as a personal something, a process leaving indelible imprints upon the individual himself, ’ as a character moulding medium, whereby a man goes into the world better equipped to compete with the problems life offers.

Now, then, are we men here at Drexel doing our share in this char­acter building campaign? For exam­ple. are we, putting our honor to any great tests? No, We are allowing one of the prime elements of our make­up to be stunted, remain without a su­preme test.

This school is our laboratory. It is rigfht here in Drexel that the va-; rious elements of our beings are be­ing crystallized into character, and we should be fair to ourselves and those about us, by giving ourselves every possible opportunity to assert our worth.

And we can have the right granted us to prove we are honorable men. We can and must have that right, and it is entirely feasible to do so without any objectionable “tattling.”

An honor system in our school, mong the men students, can be worked

out. Must we have protectors to watch our every more? Is it necessary to have anyone watch us during an ex­amination? Is it being fair to our­selves?

An honor system is practical, and every single one of us should think about the question seriously, look at it from as wide a viewpoint as we can muster, and decide definitely for or against its institution in our school. But there must not be any half-formed de­cisions. The problem is no small one, and requires the concentrated effort and thought of the entire student body and the co-operation of the Men’s Stu­dent Council, perhaps better named Men’s Smoker Committee.

The issue rests with us. T much to be said for and prob great deal to be said against th system. But the writer feels th; thing that might be said contr an honor system will be outw by far, by all that can certainly for it.

The Triangle will be very for and heartily invites discus this matter in its columns. C us hear what YOU think ab most vital question confrontini

A FRESHMAN THOUGHTNow that we have entered our last

Ahna Mater we are starting oiv another apparently long journey. Yet just as today we look back to those freshmen yesterdays in high school, just so to­morrow we shall look back to today with sad thoughts and memories, and with the hope that the end has not come too soon.

The journey may be likened to one going up a steep mountain, so hard to climb, so easy to fall below. As we climb higher and higher we shall see more and more of the surrounding scenery, and when, the top is reached each of us will have a different view in mind. Some of us in climbing will have our eyes shut, some partly opened, and others widely opened. But no matter how much of the scenery we ob­serve, if we win the friendship of many of the climbers we should make the journey worth while. For the very same climbers may accompany us on many another journey. Sad to say there are many who regard this friend­ship as something minor. As for me, give me the friendship of all the climb­ers and I desire little scenery.

Wh&t we get in books we little re­member, but what we get in friendship will be an everlasting part of us.

When the days are done And the prize is won.And the gay journey at an end. When you will be sad Thinking when you were glad With this or that school-day friend,I make a plea That I shall be A souvenir in your memory Of the happy days that used to be.

Salem, Ore.—The period from Feb­ruary 4th to 18th has been set aside as an “open season" for the co-eds at Willamette College to exercise their rights under the Leap Year iteason. The action was officially taken by tShe stu­dents.

Interesting Lecture Given by Mary Wintor on *The Wome& in Russia.” Mrs.. Shrader Was Chairman,

The regular monthly meeting of the Drexel Institute Faculty Women’ Club was held in the Picture Gatle on Wednesday, February 15th. T b , committee in charge, of which Mrs. James E. Shrader Was chairman, pre­sented a most interesting program.

Following a short business meeting the social hour was opened by Mrs. H. R. Voorhees, who gave a group of vo­cal selections. She was accompanied by Mrs. Hazel Germaine, a member of the Drexel Hill Music Club,

Mrs. Shrader then introduced Miss Mary Winsor, of Haverford, Pa., who talked on The Status of Women in Russia. Miss Winsor has been engaged in the study of the conditions of wo­men in many foreign lands for a num­ber of years, and holds office with the Woman’s Peace Union, of New York. Her address on Russia was particu­larly instructive and interesting as she attended the teoth anniversary of the Soviet Government in Russia and had first-hand knowledge of the conditions there.

Miss Winsor is writing an article especially for the Triangle and it wil appear in the next issue.

THE DREXEL TRIANCl£

DREXE DOWNS SUSQUEHANNA

Susqnehanna proved to be no match for the Engineers’ quintet on our own floor Saturday evening, February 25.

Drexel got away to an early lead andvwere never headed throughout the contest, although Susquehanna threat­ened to make the score close toward the end of the game, while our substi­tutes were defending the honor of the Blue and Gold.

Susquehanna’s team was composed largely of football men and before the game it looked as though they would make things interesting for us. How­ever, due to poor work under the bas­ket, they couldn’t seem to get going, with the result that the Engineers found the going easy but rough.

A1 Hey played a stellar game for the 'Blue and GoM as he netted ten field goals and one foul. John Shuipis, our other forward, netted nine points. De­lay and Wall performed well for the Maroon and Gold quintet, the former scoring fourteen points and the latter ten.

Fi­nally, Eisenhart broke away for an­other of his weird shots, this time a long one from the mid-floor that slid through the net without disturbing the cords. This marked the end of the scoring for the first installment, and the teams found themselves at 21-17 with Drexel in front when the timer’s pistol roared.

seemed a trifle drawn, probably due to the strenuous game with Temple on the night previous. The conquerors of the Pennsylvania Military College team', these same five tossers, seemed to be no match for the fast, short-passing

^game of the Engineers.In fact, for the first ten minutes of

|he contest Drexel was so far out in ront that it looked as though the [alas-coached men would win in' very

easy fashion. For ten full minutes the Juniata five fought with all they had to score, but were unable to take more than three or four fruitless pegs at the hoop.

Then Holsinger, Juniata centre, slip­ped one through the cords, but not till the Drexelites had amassed eleven points, more than a point ^ minute. Holsinger started a brief rally that net' ed the out-of-town men some nine points, but it was nipped in the bud when Drexel took a decided brace to forge ahead.

At this stage of the game Tucker, who has been suffering from an infected foot, ran in from the sidelines to re­place Shuipis. Drexel’s passing became a trifle more accurate and the Engi­neers began to draw away from the visitors.

Here Eisenhart got under way. The t blond Juniata foward shot one in from the side and there fqllowed a vertible barrage of field goals and foul goals in­to the Drexel basket, which brought

score to within four points of a with Drexel ahead by 19-15.

Los Angeles—Undergraduates at the University of California at Los An­geles are tired of copying their north­ern kin at Berkeley. So they have de­cided to throw out of their “pep” cur­riculum all songs and yells which have been borrowed from the University of California proper.

A student committee is now at work on the problem of new verses for songs and new yells which will be strictly Bruin products. Among other suggestions of note'is one that a com­poser be employed to write the music for a new Alma Mater song and rally

chorus.

RaiGlOUS CONFERENCEPrecise information about the com­

ing religious educational conference has been given out at last. March 6 will be student night. The conference will begin on this day, under student lead­ership and will last for three days. An interview with Dean Dorsey, faculty chairman of the Drexel representation, has revealed many prominent names among the probable leaders. Educa­tional authorities and notable religious workers will be congregated from all over the United States and Canada.

The student committees have been working among their friends for three weeks. The student house group, with Edith Rood as chairman, have been stimbulating discussion groups in the houses. The commuters, under the leadership of Elizabeth Bodine, have had a more difficult problem. They have done almost entirely personal work.

An y way-you figure it, P. A. is bettet tobacco. Take fragrance, for instance. Your well-known olfactory organ wi)l tell you. And taste— who can describe that? And mildness—you couldn’t ask for anything milder.

Yes, Sir, P. A. is cool and comfortable and mellow and mild. Long-burning, with a good

ash. You never tire of P. A. It’s always the

ALUMNI DAY, APRIL 28thThe Alumni Day committee has al­

ready made tentative plans for Alunmi •Day and from what we have heard this is surely going to be the biggest and best alunmi day in the history of the Institute. T here will be many and va­ried attractions for the old grad and the recent grad who return to show their loyalty to their Alma Mater. W e have all heard of the new organ being installed, one of the many gifts of Mr. Curtis, and we are told that one feature of the day will be an organ recital espe­cially for the alumni. I know you won’t want to miss this opportunity. T hen there will be class reunions. You will see men and women you haven’t seen, or perhaps heard of since you graduated. And you can help make this a sdccfssful day. How? By writ­ing now to your best friends of the old days and urging them to meet you on Alumni Day. No m atter when you graduate, we w ant to see you here on April 28. Make plans now for a visit to Dre.\el. W atch for later and more detailed notices.

It costs a lot, but Camel must have the bestIt: is true tliat Camel is the quality ciga­rette, but it costs to make it so. To make Camel the favorite that it is costs the clioicest crops of Turkish and Domestic tobaccos grown. It requires the expense of a blending that leaves nothing undone in the liberation of tobacco taste and fragrance.

But the fame that Camel has won is worth all the trouble. It has brought

modern smokers a new realization of ex* cellence. They are particular and fastidious and they place Camel first.

Your taste will delight itself in these choice tobaccos. Camels get better the more of them you smoke. Their subtle tastes are unfolded by experience. They are always delightfully smooth.
