President Rea and twenty-one seniors were recently elected to mem­bership in Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary society. Formal initia* tion will be conducted tonight in the Art Gallery for those seniors who are now in school; those in industry will be initiated during spring term. Following this ceremony there will be a membership dinner in the Ryder Club when a guest speaker will talk to the group.

A few weeks ago President Rea was

made an honorary m em ber of Drexel’s

chapter of Scabbard and Blade, na ­

tional military honor society, and this

is the second honor conferred upon

him since coming to Drexel.

Two chemical engineering students

are included in the group. They are George Brown and Harvey J. Hauer. Both are m embers of the A.I.Ch.E., Brown is also a m em ber of Tau Beta Pi, and H auer is a student teacher in chemical engineering.

The mechanical engineers elected are William Bernard, John E. Corr, Raymond E. Metz, and Basil Stergi- opoulos. Corr is a student teacher of mechanical engineering, a m em ber of Tau Beta Pi, P i Tau Sigma, Blue Key, Lanvbda Chi Alpha fraternities, and treasurer of Men’s Student Council. Metz is a m em ber of P i Tau Sigma.

‘ Stergi is a m em ber of T au Beta Pi, and Scabbard and Blade.

Charles A nderm an was the electri­cal engineer chosen for membership. He is a m em ber of T au Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Scabbard and Blade, and Lambda Chi Alpha.

Surprises at Drexel have almost be­come the ru le this year and in keeping with this term policy the Athletic As­sociation has planned to have the last pep rally “chuck full” of the un ­expected. Next Friday, November 13, before th e Susquehanna game on Sat­urday, there is to be a rally to surpass all former ones at Drexel.

Even though this is on Friday the thirteenth, which normally connotes ill-luck, the Dragons, coaches, faculty, and students will participate in a rousing meeting founded on a sure feeling that the “worm has turned.”

Towney Clark, as vice president of the A.A., will be chairman of this rally and President Rea has promised to take part. Wills Burrows will speak for the team, and then comes the sur­prise; The association has scheduled something which has never been done before in the history of football—to be disclosed at the rally!

From the faculty, Mr. W ilbur N. McMullan will contribute his “point­ers” and Mr, H arold J. Budd his “ tid ­bits.” Ray Considine and his squad of leaders will conduct the cheers and Mr. Welch and our band will provide rousing school music. Only the co­operation of the students is needed to make this Drexel’s “ isippiest” rally followed by a victory in Saturday’s game.

Rouge and Robe is again in the

front line with its forthcoming per­

formance of “Stage Door.” However,

rehearsals are continuing with several

handicaps. Because of the withdrawal

of William E. Bradfield, who is now

playing a role in the Naval service,

a vacancy is wide open. Another

vacancy must be filled for the role

of Bobby, previously held by Delores Ambrose.

Nov. 20 and 21 will find “new ma­terial” in the leading roles when Fadra Le Blanc and Bill Hoifman step into their “cognitos” to do Terry Randall and David Kingsley. Inci­dentally, the leads have drawn upon freshman talent, while the backfield supports them in the personalities of some experienced old timers. Jerry Faust who has “Death Takes a H oli­day,” “Arms and the Man,” and “P e r ­sonal Appearance” to his credit, will strike off another performance as Keith Burgess, and Mary Lyons, presi­dent of Alpha Psi Omega, will add to her list of roles that of Mrs. Orcutt. “Stage Door” will also find again in its line-up such familiar faces as those of Mary Alice Minnich, secretary of Alpha Psi Omega, Lee Robinson, and Kathie Macool.

Mrs. Leanna Chase, who has di­rected many previous dramatic per ­formances at Drexel, has great con­fidence in the ability of her players to score another hit.

Frosli Women To Take ilules Exam

Drexel orientation of freshmen women is provided for by Key and Triangle—the women’s honorary or­ganization. Each girl in the freshman class is expected to pass an exami­nation on Drexel Rules and Regula­tions given by the Women’s Student Government.

Each member of Key and Triangle is given a group of names and it is her responsibility to see that each passes the exam. All freshmen must pass! Re.exams and punishment are provided for. Members of Key and Triangle ares

Anne Kroner, Lee Robinson, Maisie MucWilliams, Vivian Yergey, Betty Hawlk, Emily Relnheimer, Jeannette Sperr, Ann Lingle, Elaine Clayton, Bernice Buck, Use Graenis, Mary Lyons.

D e a n T o L i s tS t u d e n t s

Additional recognition to scholar­ship at Drexel will be made with the naming of honor students to the newly instituted “Dean’s List.” The publi­cation of such a list is completely new to Tech, where previously all high scholastic achievement was recog­nized only on Institute Day or by elec­tion of students to honorary fraterni­ties.

Based on the system used by most other colleges, Drexel’s list will be posted after the end of each term on a non-cumulative basis. A separate list will he compiled for each school. It will either include the first twenty- five per cent of the group, or those who attain an average of eighty, de­pending upon which is less inclusive. Under this system, occasionally stu­dents with eighty averages may ap­pear on the list, while those in a different school, if they do not rank in the upper twenty-five per cent, will not, even though they have an eighty average or higher.

Individual standings will be judged on the weighed average basis, exclud­ing physical education and all non ­credit courses. On a cumulative basis, any condition or failure on a student’s record will automatically disqualify him from the list. No one will be eligible for the Dean’s list who has not carried a minim um of fifteen credit hours. Appearing on this list will he for recognition only; no spe­cial privileges such as exemption from final examinations will be enjoyed by the honored students.

For the first time in the history of Drexel Institute, a senior class will be formally graduated on December 17, at 2:00 from Drexel Auditorium. This graduating class will be made up of students who have completed their required course of study by the end of fall term or last summer’s term. In the past, these students had waited until the following June and had re ­turned for the regular commencement.

This year, however, a great many of the Business Administration stu­dents have changed to the accelerated speed-up course.

There will be approximately 30 stu­dents graduating. Included in the program will be the usual academic processional with speakers, that have not yet been selected. The graduation will be held in conjunction with Founders’ Day. Following the exer­cises there will be Christmas caroling on the great court steps.

As the climax to the day, graduates and their guests will meet at an in­formal reception.

E n c im ra g e m e n t ~For Seniors

Last spring the faculty passed a resolution whiclj is intended to safe­guard the senior against a possibility of having his degree snatciied away by the selective service board.

This, resolution said in effect that any senior will be graduated by the Institute if he has completed all but one term of college and one term of industry. This means that any senior who is grabbed up by the draft after he has successfully completed this term or the winter term may be granted a full degree.

Such a resolution was framed so that a senior, who after putting in three and a halt or four and a half years of school will not lose his im­mediate chance for a degree even if he is drafted.

Grad Awarded Purple Heart

A communique from General Mac- A rthur’s headquarters in Australia an­nounces that Anthony P. Leodora, staff sergeant in the Air Corps and former Drexel student, was awarded the O rder of the Purp le H eart on September 26.

Leodora’s family, at 1520 Wolf St., had received a letter from him telling about the award. The letter told his family that a lieutenant, 3 other ser­geants and himself had saved a half million dollars’ worth of materials, but he could not say any more about the affair.

The citation was given to Sgt. Le­odora and Sgt. Devine, of Pottsville, for “Singularly meritorious act of es­sential service on August 17 in New Guinea. The saving of planes and valuable property from destruction after a Japanese raid on an air field.”

Leodora did not mention being wounded in his letter but said “I am very well and hope you are the same.” The award came as a birthday pres­ent to the sergeant as it was awarded the day before his birthday.

Leodora told his family that he was sending the medal home but was keep­ing the ribbon with him.

Before the sergeant enlisted in Sep­tember, 1940, he worked in the sani­tation department of a dairy. Leodora was a m em ber of the 1935 class at South Phila. High School for Boys, and spent two years at Drexel.

K e n W ig iM li , >39 R e tu rn s A s P r o t

Kenneth K. Wignall, Drexel grad of the Class of ’39, returns to his alma mater today to take up his post as Assistant Professor of Military Science. Wignall, now a first lieutenant in the Infantry, was an out­standing personage on the campus during his undergraduate days. The announcement of his appointment to the R.O.T.C. post makes the second alumnus to come back to Tech as a member of the military staff.

Captain Hubler, ’35, who recently left

for active duty, was the other.

Lieutenant Wignall started his mili­

tary career at Drexel as a student in

the basic course and later took the

advanced course. He was a member of Scabbard and Blade and won a saber at the annual field day for out­standing work in military subjects.

A commercial engineering student, Wignall held many honors during his undergraduate days here. Along with Norm an Schaeffer, another honor man, he was instrumental in organizing the Society of Commercial Engineers. He also jo ined with a few other seniors of ’39 in pushing the drive for our present Student Building, which was then only an idea.

K en was a member of Alpha Upsi. Ion Mu fraternity, now Lambda Chi Alpha, of which he served as secre­tary and later treasurer.

He was a member of Blue Key and Bourse and served on the Athletic Council and on the Military Ball Com* mittee. As a member of the varsity rifle team he competed in several national meets.

Y’s Stage Stag Shindig

“Stag-er-roo”—annual frosh party sponsored by the two Y ’s—will be held in the Student Building tom or­row evening Saturday, November 7, from eight-thirty to midnight. As the last of the term ’s “F ree” parties, this affair has been traditionally one of the m ajor events of the fall season.

A full program of stunts and nov­elty dances will be supplemented by dancing to the latest recordings of the nation’s top bands. The Drexel policy of “free cutting” will prevail; thus, this affair will constitute the last opportunity for the frosh engineers to come up out of the cellar and meet those bashful Home-Ecs on an infor­mal, “every man for himself” basis.

W hile the expenses of the dance will be, as always, absorbed by the Y’s, tickets are bei^g issued at the price of twenty-five cents per person, which will be turned over to the Army-Nuvy Relief Society.

In Annual; Outstanding Students To Be Listed

Announcement has come within the last week that 20 Drexel seniors are to appear in the next issue of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.” This marks the first time that Drexel is to be represented in the annual student celebrities. The names of those students selected by an impartial method during the next week will be released by the Triangle at a later date.—— The collegiate “Who’s W ho” is simi­

lar to the familiar W ho’s Who in the World, .and contains brief biographies of the outstanding undergraduates of over 650 colleges. Selection to appear in W ho’s Who is just about the greatest national recognition that any student can receive and is often the means of securing employment after graduation. Requisites for selec­tion are character, scholarship, lead­ership in extra-curricular activities and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. Only seniors and students in advance work are eligible except in the case of unusu­ally outstanding juniors.

W ho’s Who Among Students origi­nates in the early 30’s when the idea of creating one national basis of recog­nition for students, devoid of politics, initiation fees and dues was first con­ceived. After two years of research and correspondence with college of­ficials and personnel managers to see if there was a need for such a publi­cation the first issue came out in 1934- 35. In that first book 250 colleges were listed and in 1942 that num ber had grown to 650 now represented.

The purpose of the project has been two-fold: First, to serve as an out­standing honor in which a deserving student, after displaying m erit in col- lege and accomplishing his goals, would be given recognition without having to pay some fee—Second, to establish a reference volume of au­thoritative information on the great body of America’s leading college stu­dents. The students who are listed represent the best that American col-

S t n d e n t s T o G e t L o a n s

Engineering students in the accel­

erated course who will have com­

pleted their work by June 30, 1943,

are eligible for loans from the United

Stales Commission of Education under

the National W ar Loans Program.

Since juniors and seniors at Drexel

have not accelerated their courses,

only pre-juniors will be eligible.

The loans must be repaid in four

annual installments beginning one

year after a student leaves school with

interest at two and one-half per cent.

If a student borrower is drafted be­

fore completing his course, the loan

is automatically cancelled. If he goes

into the armed forces after he com­

pletes his course, collection on the

note is postjioned until one year after he is discharged from the service. The loan is cancelled if the student suffers total and permanent disability and in case of death.

President Rea announces that Drexel has received for this purpose $12,- 183.00 to be distributed to tlie eligible students in amounts sufficient for them to carry their work to graduation. Ap­plications for these loans must be made in Dr. Stratton’s office.

Books To Be Biseussed on WIP

“ Books and Blackouts” is the topic of the third in a series of radio pro ­grams presented by Drexel to acquaint the general public with the efforts of the colleges in the present national emergency. Mrs. Alice Brooks Mooney, Assistant Professor of Library Science, who is the speaker on the subject, will talk this Sunday after­noon at 2:30 over radio station WIP.

The broadcast will deal with hooks for the entertainment of children dur­ing blackouts and those that teach the child not to hate otiier nationali­ties. Mrs. Mooney is prepared to ex­plain the merits of a book suitable to hold the interest of a child during an emergency such as an air ra id or u blackout. The speaker will also emphasize the importance of choosing books that are appropriate for chil­dren of different age levels.

On November 15 “The Army Camp Lilu'ary” will be discussed by Prof. Helen A. Bagley, also of the Drexel L ibrary School faculty.

Fowi Here! MPr. Wehr Haidff Pigeons

Hey, squabs not in season! Unhand that pigeon! Solemnly and militaris- tically speaking that’s almost all we can disclose at this early date con­cerning the great pigeon drive car­ried on under the excellent direction of M. R. Wehr, ofiicer in command. Mebbe it’s a drive for scrap metal (that awful-looking screen defacing the snowy white frontal of D.I.T.) and maybe it’s just a man and his hobby (carrier p igeons), but according to Dr. W ehr;

“The great (? ) ra id was not suc­cessful. The necessities of military strategy make it inadvisable to re­veal the plans for the inmiediate fu­ture. After all, these pigeons have been around this place of higher learning for so long that they can read the TRIANGLE.”

Watch this rag for the now-it-can- be-told word! Big-time ecoop!

Bull S e s s io nBy Frank Ewing

To those who would criticize the previous contents of this column, espe­cially last week’s strip, I might ad­vise to not take the “ Bull” set down here too seriously; in other words, take the title and its implications a bit more literally. Obviously, all opinions in a college this size cannot run along the same channel and, sad as it seems, what to one person may “ uphold the highest .standards in con­duct of life.” may let another down to the depths of boredom. It seemed safer, then, to write in favor of the majority (women excluded)—watch the mail come in now!

Vt’ell. to get down to business and the dirt—

The Theta Chi-Apple Pi battle for the I.F. football cup has run into quite a contest and might be likened to the Drexel-Vrsinus game of last year ( if you can remember— and you ran I) with the Theta Chi's holding the lead (it mis a 0-0 game) by the margin of a few buckets of white tcash and a brush. The cleverness of the Apple Pi strategy must be acknowl­edged, however, in that up to the date of this writing they have forced the Theta Chi freshmen through three sleepless nights in anticipation of a return attack.

How about that Penn-Army game? By the way, the parking lot alongside the cafeteria is reserved exclusively every Saturday for the cars of Drexel students and Alumni—so anytime you need a ready space just drive down 32nd and give Walt the nod.

If" ill Kleinbach, so recently gradu­ated from that great institution of political science, the Young M en’s R e ­publican Club, icas wandering by the Hotel Normandie last Monday night in a very sociable mood and found himself dated with nine ff 'A A C S for Tuesday lunch. W'onder how he made out?

Rumored that Joe Vill had a tough time in the freshmen women’s as­sembly last week. Did those four girls have you bothered, Joe? That as­sembly, by the way, was to be at­tended by all freshmen women. Re­member Margot W allbrecker? After all, the Penn campus hasn’t anything we haven’t got.

I guess you’ve all heard about the big doings over at the ‘-Antique.” The old location has now been made a luncheonette (no beer or harder served) and is to be called the ■‘Dragon Den.” the bar being moved up on Woodland Ave.. across from the Milner. Maurice’s pride and joy are the furnishings which have all come from the recently capsized lux­ury liner, Normandie.

Cars will be cars, but Craig’s “Green Dragon” tops anything and everything in the automotive line. It made it around the Gettysburg track in great fashion but hogged down just below (.oatesville on the ride home leaving Craig and Mahon to do the rebuild­ing and Considine and Jaus to get the Dorm mail (Wallbrecker and Fire­stone) through by 2:45. They made it— and made the big blonde a trestle trapeze artist in the bargain.

T h e re ’s A Sc*ra|i M in e on the Cam pus, Says W P B

The average college campus is a potential mine of scrap value and can play an important part in the current campaign to salvage waste metals for war, War Production Board officials point out. Acting through their repre­sentative bodies, students might well organize salvage committees, it was suggested, to work with college au­thorities in conducting campus drives.

As tor direct participation, students nughi act as “salvage” sleuths to search out and report to their com­mittee the location of scrap caches.In larger schools it might be found desirable to set up an official salvage depot to which the material could be carried. Red, white and blue signs reading “Official Salvage Depots” can he supplied by town salvage commit­tees.

All sorts of scrap may be found in science laboratories, gymnasiums, kitchens, storerooms, boiler rooms, clubs and fraternities and other build ­ings. There is a wealth of material available from old Bunsen burners to discarded iron beds; from rubber nuUs to steam idjies; from old fences and railings to broken-down pianos; from torn shower curtains to old rags; from hemp rope to replaced boilers.

Any student who has a jalopy which has outlived its usefulness, may do his country a real service by taking it to an automobile graveyard. Articles such as keys, badges, and niiscellane. ous items are good scrap and can be found in the very rooms in which students live.

Ih e students’ salvage committee nught also make certain that all school and fraternity kitchens are cooperat­ing with Ihe salvage drive by saving fats and greases regularly.

Dear Folks,My gosh, it’s cold! Please excuse me while here I go again. Every Imlf

hour I have to jum p up, rim around the room twelve times, push my clnir desk and lamp farther along the radiator. The lam p’s just not gonna corn' any farther; it’s tipped as far as it’ll go with only the cord holding it, and f getting more and more in the dark with every shift ( this has nothing to do with being wise). Pretty soon I ’ll have to warm my hands over the bulb ; maybe royalty isn’t blue blooded, but I am. The heat has been crcon ing down to one end of the radiator, and it just isn’t m uch longer.

I might as well go to bed, can’t study any longer. It must be the horrihle quiet, like death and so unnatural. If there were five or six people in li.-re having a big bag brawl (bull session to you), why, I could learn something but it’s no go in this tomb. Roomie doesn’t even snore. ’

As for quiet, maybe I better get over being allergic to it— I got my first one-third of a demerit tonight. So did the o ther three (on- cerned. Simply because we were playing leap-frog down the hall during study hour. People get so crabby before mid-terms, and how were we to know that the proctor had a headache? During noisy hour, though, we miide up for it. threw an Italian onion sandwich party for the floor. Some of liie very persnickety people would not partake though; they said no thanks that they had dates during the next two weeks and d idn ’t want to alienate' or annihilate any affections. W onder why they were so cold and distant to the rest of us. As I said several paragraphs ago, quiet isn’t conducive tostudy around here; I guess I ’ll blow taps and the candle out. So goodn____ohfor heaven’s sake, can you feature that! I th ink I ’m living in the big city, and what gives forth at two and a quarter in the ayem with taxis and subways noising by but a rooster! It just goes to show whoever is farming around here that street lights throw the old bird off schedule—or is it that he’s patri. otic enough to be crowing on a defense routine?9:10 A. M.

Five hours’ sleep; and if the gal in front of me doesn’t stop squirming the prof isn’t going to like what she sees next time she looks in this direction.’ But I figure if she can talk about her niece getting seasick watching a ship in the movies, I can bring my family into this, too.

Say, Mom, you were pretty sharp to send the cookies in two boxes. You must have existed in a dorm yourself once. Just like always the top layer never knew what struck i t; and I did find a few raisins and crumbs between the paper after I exposed the second layer for a flat 23 seconds. There wasn’t even any hesitancy about being old-maided when it got down to the last lovely little cookie. Guess you know now that I d idn’t have much favorable disposing of your culinary masterpieces. Well, only nineteen m ore days till I ’ll be on that filthy old train. (I had to say it again this w eek; I s’pose I sound like a just-so-many-shopping-days-until-Christmas syndicate.) The part I like best about the whole thing is that I have classes until live o’clock the day before Thanksgiving—so, expect me home at midnight.

You asked me when I s tu d y -m ig o sh , I studied all week-end, that is all except Friday and Saturday. I feel so virtuous!

Oh, Mom, about that book you’re looking for. Mrs. T u th ill did return it. so you can start speaking to her again. I brought it to school to further my holoisni (liberal education, to you) , but Well’s Outline o f History has been serving a double purpose: cache for Dick’s letters and dust-catcher.

A big, fast, and aggressive G-burg eleven scored three quick touch­downs to give them a hai^ earned victory over a fighting, but crippled Drexel team at the site of the historic Civil War battle. For all of the first half the Dragons kept the heavily favored Bullets deep in their own territory, and threatened several times. The only indication of a G-burg offensive came when Hardy, G-burg’s great 200-pound back, tossed a 60-yard pass to his rangy end for the only score of the half.

Drexel kicked off and Hardy ran it back to the forty-yard line Two l.uoks netted the Bullets fifteen yards, ^ ^iind on the next play Beattie recovered.1 fumble on the Dragon’s 40-yard line. Much to everyone’s surprise, Drexel started r ight down the field and Itrought the ball to the G-burg 15-yard stripe before they lost it on downs. G-burg was forced to kick and the Dragon’s started up the field again. The Bullet’s coach was throwing a class A fit for the whole half as he saw his highly rated G-burg club fall time after time to the deceptions of tlie touchy “T ” formation. Early in the second quarter the Bullets started a drive from their own 15-yard marker and marched to the ir own 40-yard line, from where J im H ardy faded back and tossed a 60-yard aerial to Festes, \v'ho took the ball in the end zone for the first score of the game. The point was wide. The rem ainder of the quar­ter showed ne ither team being able to make any real gain. The half ended, G-burg 6, Drexel 0.

The second half found a rather beat-up Dragon eleven weaken before the might and num bers of their foe. The Drexel forward wall found it a lot tougher to keep r ight in there, than they did the first half. Three of the regular linesmen were carried off the field leaving a heavier burden on the rem ainder of the team. The heavy, hard-charging Bullit line began to take its toll, and the Dragons were forced back in the defensive. At the end of the th ird period H ardy passed to the Drexel 15, and from there cut hack off tackle to bring the G-burg total to 12.

The final score of the game came late in the final session. Hardy passed to Festes, who carried the ball to the 15. Three plays la ter with two m in­utes left to play. H ardy drove over for the final score. The final whistle saw a badly battered Dragon team go off the field losers, 18-0.

Theta Chi tu rn ed in its second win of the season by the score of 6-0 when it handed Lambda Chi Alpha its third defeat. The score came midway through the first half when Herb Behre flung a short pass to Bill Klein- felder who was immediately stopped in his tracks on the 5 by Lambda Chi’s Donald Flaith. The entire game was a passing duel between Behre and Dick Sasin, the accuracy of their tosses being matched only by the alertness of the secondaries who intercepted many a touchdown-labeled pass.

Tau Kappa Epsilon broke into the \vin column with a 6-0 victory over Kappa P h i Delta in a game which saw both sides battling to shove the other into the I.F. League cellar. The Tekes scored the ir lone m arker when Wil­ber Klotz heaved a pass to James Lawler over the goal toward the close of the second half.

Theta Chi and Alpha P i Lambda played to a 0-0 tie on Sunday last in a game that was to decide the cur­rent league leader. H erb Behre was again the trigger man for the Theta Chi’s, while Pete P iatt and Bal Smith alternated with the passing for the Apple P ie ’s. By virtue of the tie, Alpha P i Lambda now leads the league with Theta Chi trailing by a half game, although both teams are undefeated in league competition.

AT THE

Drexel Cafeteria

D e a r B o s s :October 30, 1942.

Gettysliurg, Pa.Dear Boss:

Finally arrived here after a long trip through the wilds of Pennsyl­vania. At last 1 found out where Lan­caster is and was illuminated by Marsh “Pride of the South” Austin upon what happened at the Battle of Get­tysburg while on the way to this vil­lage. In the middle of the story Marsh got tangled up with some stuff about a babe named Mary from Rich­mond, but he finally admitted that the Southern operations constituted a part of the Confederacy’s strategic re ­treat.

We are staying at the Hotel Gettys­burg and living royally. Tlie boys liave been warned about the pinball machines and the G rill; so it’s pretty dull hereabouts. After dinner last night most of the thirty players mak­ing the trip journeyed to the local theater for an evening’s amusement. Feature attraction of the evening was a newsreel about war workers’ homes in Baltimore, which seemed to cause an undue amount of excitement in the audience. It seems that Austin’s constant harangue al)out the wonders of that fair city got him in hot water when the squad saw open-air sleeping accommodation and house-boat homes.

Joe “the Mighty Atom” Harris was almost arrested for breaking some Gettysburg “Blue Laws” when he wandered out of the hotel with his “zoot soot” and “reat pleat” hat. Th ir ­teen people came close to severe in­jury as a horse bolted from the shafts upon viewing Joe’s S.S.S. (South Street Special). He was pretty ex­cited himself but the cops didn’t pick him up until he tried a little hustling on the side for Sam Gerson.

And so to bed.

Saturday, October 31, 1942.

The day of the big game dawned bright and clear, but the eyes of the squad were of a pinker hue because of the sleepless night spent in a hotel that was beside a freight yard. All night long a shunting engine wandered about the yard with crashes and clam­oring that seemed to indicate the end of the world.

Everybody was pleasantly surprised after breakfast by the arrival of a fe­male rooting section consisting of Emily Appelgren, Anna Mae Shutts, Naomi “Guppie” Crap, and a sharp babe named Shirley who made her­self known that afternoon during the game by shouting, “that’s my Bill,” every lime Kleinfelder jammed up a G-burg. Austin was pretty glad to see someone who didn’t want to know about the beauties of Baltimore.

After the game—There’s much to be said about the

way our boys handled themselves against a much more powerful eleven, but I ’ll confine myself to an observa­tion of the fact that in previous years G-burg usually ran up a score that looked like a healthy bank balance.

“Rep” felt pretty good about the game and at dinner enjoyed the boys’ rendition of the Maine drinking song. Packing-up operations then proceeded with the hotel’s inventory on towels, soap, stationery, and blotters taking a beating. I tried to get some Cashmere Bouquet myself, but could find only some plain white floating soap. With our baggage packed we then boarded our bus for Harrisburg. The tr ip back was enthusiastically topped off by sing­ing Drexel’s Fight Song in the streets of Pennsylvania’s capital and the slinging of many sly remarks directed at what was going on in the back seats. The aforementioned young ladies non- ored us with their presence on the way back and a swell time was had

by all-Your ever-slaving sports editor,

Ray Zerewat.

P.S. Don't worry about the expense account. 1 stuck to root beer and the hotel won’t charge you for the soap.

I thought I ’d see at least four cheer­leaders at the G-burg game; but not one showed up until tlie second half, when Ray Considine and Margo Wal- brecker made their appearance. It seems that A.A. could not afford to send anyone, and the pair that did sliow up made the trip under extenu­ating circumstances. Ray and Margo made the trip with Bill Craig and Bill Jans, wlio could not start earlier because of difficulty in obtaining an inspection sticker for the Green Dragon. Going home, tlie “continu­ous convertible” lasted only as far as Coatesville, whence the passengers hitched their way into Philly. While walking across a railroad trestle, we almost lost our head cheerleader. Ray Considine. when he fell through an opening in the bridge and just m an­aged to hold on to two ties while “ our hero,” Jaus, rescued him.

Another Lnme Duck

Most serious Dragon injury during the Gettysburg game fell to “ Chuck” Menas, who is definitely out for the rest of the season witli a broken ankle. Seems like the G-burg boys specialize in this treatment when we recollect that Marty Larkin, former Dragon gridder, had the same thing done to him last year by the same team. Marty, by the way, now coaches our Jay Vee squad and has done a swell job of assisting Coach Repscha.

Gallopin’ 22

Missing at the G-burg game was Joe Michaels, who could not make the trip because of an injury sustained at the Haverford game. Joe was severely liruised on one of ]iis legs and the Lebanon Valley game aggravated the bruise into a blood clot. Joe went to the Episcopal Hospital last Sat­urday and will probably be released tomorrow' after his recuperation from the operation performed on his leg. Chuck Menas is also at the same hos­pital, and both are eyeing the nurses with a great deal of pulmonary palpi­tation.

Joe’s place in the line-up was well filled, however, by changes in the backfield positions. On the defense Drexel had both a five- and a seven- man line, with Menas pulling out of guard to back up the center of the line. Menas will be remembered for the way he spotted Lebanon Valley pass plays and pulled out of the line on his own hook to jam up the Flying Dutchmen machine. Marsh Austin was moved to the left side of the line as backer-up in tlie position formerly occupied by Michaels. Punting was done by Bob Clyde, who, although slightly erratic, got off one of the best punts of tlie season. Bob had been cautioned not to kick to the safety man, and in his over-zealousness he found himself punting the ball too sharply into the sidelines. Craig Smith did the passing, and proved to l)e a dependable hurler.

Orchids

To Drexel’s entire football aggre­gation for the really splendid way they played last Saturday. The score indicates none of the dogged determi­nation displayed by the team in its efforts to overcome a team that was on par with the Delaw'are Blue Hen outfit. After the game many of the Gettysburg players felt it was one of the toughest games they had played this season. The Bullets were a much heavier team and had at least five inches on our team as far as height was concerned. “Rep” was so pleased with the work of his squad that he called off the regular Monday practice session and was in one of his best moods at dinner Saturday night. Much has been said all season long by myself and fellow columnists about the way our team performs—this game was a much stronger argument than any column yet written.

Playing at Ursinus tomorrow, the Drexel Tcch team will continue its hard fought rivalry with the Collegeville institution. Coach Repscha in a cautious but elated tone declared that possibilities of the Blue and Gold garnering its first victory of the year is great.

Despite the fact that the Bears have a vaunted defense, their offense has definitely been below par in their first two contests with F. and M.

P a n s y H ow l-—December 5th

Get out those vitamin pills and start to toughen up, all you juniors and seniors. Why? ’Cause the annual session of mayhem on the gridiron, the Junior-Senior Pansy Bowl Game }s in tlie offing. December 5 is the date. That’s a Saturday afternoon; so don’t make any dates for that eve­ning. If you’re not recuperating in bed, you’ll be out with the boys either celebrating or drowning your sorrows.

Reports emanating from the junior camp say that their bruising squad is already deep in practice sessions. Senior reports seem to indicate that once again they’re going to rely on their superior intelligence to evolve some razzle-dazzle plays which will have the brawny juniors revolving in the strangest of circles.

More news for both sitles soon.

G ir ls A tC o llegeT ry o u tsAt K A. M. last Saturday morning

the Drexel girls’ hockey squad left 30th Street Station for Bryn Mawr, where tryouts were being held for the All-Collegiate first and second teams in the Philadelphia area. A shift in the line-up found Terry Engle at right wing, Marion Reinhard at right inner, Ursula Poalone, as a l­ways, at center forward, Janie Schoff at left inner, and Margaret (Cookie) Cook at left wing. The backfield re ­mained constant except for one player. Barbara Shephard was unable to make the trip so Helen Hutchinson stepped capably into her place to play left halfback. The rest of the backfield included Alice Kuster at right half, Bobby Butterworth at center half, Marion Barron at right full. Captain Ollie W aterbury at left full, and last but not least, our petite goalie, Nancy Keene.

The program was arranged so that each school represented played three other schools for fifteen-minute per i ­ods each. The Dragonette hockey aggregation played Rosemont Col­lege for their opening match. The scrimmage ended in a 0-0 tie. The second inatcli was with the Uni­versity of Pennsylvania co-eds, which ended 1-0 in P enn’s favor, but which was a great mistake and a bad break for our girls. The last fifteen minutes was a moral victory for the Dragonettes because they held Ursinus to a scoreless deadlock. The Ursinus girls beat every other school they played against and although we were on the defensive all the time, we put up a beautiful figlit and a fine dem­onstration of hockey.

Bouquets and flowers to Nancy Keene, our small goalie. She put on a wonderful display of technique and skill and was personally responsible for averting the many would-be goals.

None of our girls received any recognition for their playing; as a matter of fact, not one girl from any of the smaller schools represented, re. ceived even honorable mention, which seems to indicate a definite oversight and omission and a preconceived prejudice for the big-time schools.

This afternoon our girls travel to Swarthmore to use their technique against a school who placed three players on the All-Collegiate squad. Good luck to them and let’s hope they put the Scarlettes in their places.

Open House is drawing closer and we wish to provide some entertain­ment for our visitors as well as dis­play our talents. The Women’s Gym Departm ent wishes- to birve''coHntry dancing as part of its program so all girls interested in participating sign up on the main bulletin board in the Court. Those of you who had any con­nection with country dancing last year know how much fun it Is. Don’t be bushful—sign up inunediately for some exercise and a wonderful time.

Lyons, Paiss, and Powers, put in an unsuccessful bid for the Shell Trophy when they journeyed to Boston on Sunday, November 1, to participate in the annual regatta. Drexel finished twelfth in a field of sixteen colleges, beating the University of Connecticut and the University of New Hampshire to the line. Holy Cross won the meet in a race that required the utmost skill simply to keep out of the other fellow’s road. As might be expected, the Coast Guard was one of the p rin ­cipal contenders although not a win­ner.

On November 15, Drexel takes on Haverford College in a dual meet at Essington-on-the-Delaware. The Fords have had a fair season highlighted by their recent victory over Penn. Tiie crowning feature of this regatta will be the battle between the rival co-eds. Our sailorettes have not as yet had a chance to extend themselves although they did crew the boys to victory on Lake Carnegie at Prince­ton, New Jersey, a few weeks ago.

We are counting on every girl who signed up for interclass howling to bowl at least three games by Friday, November 13. Tiie scores for your games are to be in the hands of either Mrs. Ulrich or Miss Lysle by the same dale. It is best to howl more than three games so your highest scores can be selected and it will give you more practice for the opening varsity match with Penn in the near future.

In both contests, however, the work of full­back Gene Stewart was impressive. A superb kicker, Stewart, managed to get off seventy-yard kicks with a wet ball and staved off many a scoring threat.

The game should prove exciting witli the Technien, who are improving weekly, looking for a win. The back­field seems to have uncovered a good combination in Brosius, C. Smith, Clyde and Beattie. Although the loss of Michaels has been sorely felt, the work of this quartet plus that of H ar­ris, Halas, and Greene forbodes ill fate for the Grizzlies.

Repscha suffered another loss to his injury-ridden squad when Charley Menas, varsity squad, suffered a broken ankle against Gettysburg and will be out for the rest of the season. To fill tills vacant spot, Repscha has converted Jack Smith, a substitute tackle, to the guard position. Smith has shown the stuff and should prove a capable replacement for Menas. Austin, Burrows, Kun, Kleinfelder, Naschold, and Parniet round out the forward wall, and with Hawkins, Jo r ­dan, Poehlniann, Edwards, and Mich- aux in reserve. Tech’s line seems ade­quate to stall Ursinus.

We can’t be too optimistic about our game tomorrow, but we think the team has the stuff and a good showing is expected.

F r a t e r n i t y R o w• Alpha Sigma Alpha

After a grand week-end at the Lodge the Alpha SigV return to plans for their annual Harvest Moon Dance, whirh will lake place on Saturday, November 11, in the Student Building. Red firesh will supply the music and an evening of fun is assured for all. Marian Fischer heads the committee.

(ierry Eaton and Peggy Taylor were initiated into the fold of Nu Nu Chap­ter on Sunday afternoon.

As in former years, the pledges, under the guidance of Ginny Hutton, are planning to provide Thanksgiving baskets to some needy family.

The Alpha Sig's have heen busy with the finishing touches to their sorority room, and everything should be ready in anticipation of a national inspection.

• P i Kappa Phi

Surprise of the week was Johnny Bartle’s announcement of his engage­ment to Miss Miggsey Whitewell, of Ardmore. A quick conclave with the sister sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha has cemented the final arrangements for the party at 3101. Grabbing the prof­fered opportunity of the Armistice Holiday the fun session is definitely scheduled for Tuesday night, Novem­ber 10. A real party with games and food aplenty and old clothes infor­mality should provide all the expected gaiety. Ifead Alpha Bertie Pearson and Pi Kap Plentipotentiate Jaus are in command of the proceedings.

Foremost for this week-end looms the dinner dance of Saturday’s P.M. With 80 diners attending Steward Bill Bintzer is consulting war plants for ideas concerning shifts and their oper­ations.

Almost noteworthy of mention is the recent (|uartering of Jolm A. Meaney under the shingles of .3401. Honorable mention to ex-Professor “ 'lom m y” Tomlinson’s communique from the torrid Texas where he is training for bombardier service with Uncle’s Eagles.

• Alpha Pi Lambda

I.ast Friday night informal initia­tion proved to be a wet success for our pledges. While the Dorm girls applied the wet touch, the members applied that famed warming touch.

This Sunday afternoon the brothers of Alpha Pi I.ambda plan to hold for­mal fall initiation for the upper class pledges.

Joe Michaels, who has ijeen oper­ated on for a blood clot in the muscle of his leg, is now confined to a bed in the Episcopal Hospital. We are ho|)ing for a speedy recovery, Joe!

The football fortunes struck a snag wheti we jilayed a scoreless tie with Theta Chi. However, Piatt and Mason must be recommended for special hon­ors.

We had word the other day that Frank Knipp is stationed at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Bob Tobias also joined the Navy this week.

We are all getting ready for the trip to Ursinus to help bring home the Bear bacon.

• Delia Si/’ma Epsilon

Last Saturday night the Delta Sig’s “Masked 1‘rolic” was a honling suc­cess. Adrian has nothing on the crowd of Drexelites \slio showed oil their original and colorful costumes. Miss Lysle and Mi.■, Forslner added to the fun by teaching old-fasliioned scjuare dances and music was furnished by the whiz of the keyjjoard, Jerry T in ­gle. Everyone caught the si)irit of the evening and liad a great old time.

Work on Tri Sigma’s room at the Practice House is progressing rapidly and the girls hope to have all paper­ing and painting done in time to re ­ceive Mrs. Page, National Organizer, when she makes her visit to Alpha Della (chapter next month.

The pledges have been by no means taking a back seat this year. P re ­ceding iheir last meeting they traveled en masse to the Lido for spaghetti, then relum ed to the pledge room at the Practice House for an hour of pledge study and training.

Mary Richards, class of 1941, has announced her engagement and will be married soon.

I't)llo\\ing a Red Cross meeting on November 3, plans were disclosed for a “service kit drive” for all boys in uniform. Tuesday, November 10, is the day for the drive “kickoff.” This day marks the “soap and gum episode for service,” when all students are asked to cooperate fully in bringing these articles lo donate to a box in the Court. Here is your chance to help “clean up” your men in uniform, and keep ihein happy while they work and chew.

Each soldier must have a “sewing kil before going overseas, and more donation days are anticipated. Articles necessary to complete the kit are:

Pla> ing cards, cigarettes, shoe polish and cloths, pencils, writing pa|ier and eiivelojies, tan shoe laces—40 inches long, double-edge razor blades, but­tons, needles, thread.

In addition to student donations,\\ .S.G.A., M.S.G.A., sophomore, junior, and freshmen classes are each asked to conlribule SJO to be used in com- lileling (;acli service kil.

^ ' i th the plans formulated and work, ing schedule settled, the Lexerd is rolling full speed toward publication in early June.

This year, more than ever, it is necessary to meet deadlines unfail­ingly and apportion work uniformly throughout the year. With the present shortage of men and materials, any delay in delivering material to the engraver and prin ter would seriously jeopardize the scheduled delivery of the yearbook. For this reason, the Lexerd staff asks for the full cooper­ation of every senior.

Sarony Studios, at 1206 Chestnut St., official photographer for the 1943 Lexerd, have set aside the week of No- vemher 2 for the taking of the senior pictures. This leaves only one and one- half days more in which the seniors may have their yearbook pictures taken. It is likely that a n y . seniors who fail to have their pictures taken this week will not appear in the year­book.

The Lexerd photographic staff is also busy taking faculty and class pic­tures. Here again full cooperation on the part of faculty and students would materially help to produce a better yearbook.

It is expected that the section of the Lexerd covering clubs, organiza­tions will he completed this term. Editor, Bob Neuman and Mary Alice Minnich request that if there is any news that is to be included under this category, it be turned in imme- diatelv.

• AJ.Ch.E.

The student chapter of the A.I.Ch.E. started its season with a bang. At the first meeting an attendance of 60 chemical engineers was attained. At present the chapter is attempting to get 100% membership from all classes. At the present rate the sophomores have the lowest membership.

The next meeting will be held about the end of November at which it is hoped that Dr. Komniermeyer will be able to address the meeting.

O Junior Secretariate

T w o -p ar Secretariate looks forward to a big year of dinners, luncheons, and meetings under new officers this fall. The freshman women of the Jun ior Secretarial course were enter­tained at a tea in the Art Gallery on Monday, October 26. This tea was given the frosh as an opportunity to meet the seniors and become bet­ter acquainted with their teachers.

The officers for this year are: Mil­dred Link, president; Dorothy Cloud, secretary; and Gertrude Garfield, treasurer.

• Secretariate

Drexel’s Secretariate has p lanned a series of monthly dinner meetings. The first of these is to be held on Thursday evening, November 12, in the Student Building. Following the dinner will he open discussion on the professional advantages of the Ad­ministrative Secretarial course. At the first meeting plans will be made for an informal party with Beta Sigma Tail, (commercial Teachers’ Club of Drexel.

The first of three luncheons sched­uled tor this year will be on Satur­day, December 5. As is customary, these meetings will feature a speaker, either a faculty member or one of Drexel’s alumnae.

The officers for this year are: Use Graenz, president; Ruth Hoffman, vice-president; Ann Lingle, secretary; and Margaret Charles, treasurer. Mr. MacMullen is the faculty adviser.

The Secretariate was organized lo foster good lellowship among the Ad­ministrative Students and to promote professional improvement among its members.

X o w T e l l U s A b o u t C i n d e r e l l aThe Student in Industry

This is old stuff to the upperclass­

men, of course, and can’t exactly be

classed as the future for freshmen

since the reduction of industry periods

in the accelerated program, but up

until this year, let’s say, this is the

story of the Drexel student in in ­

dustry (or that six months’ lapse of

time after a sleepless, and I mean

sleepless! week of finals).

First interview! (summer of frosh

year—maybe! fall of soph year—after

Math 3 in summer school—most likely!)

Personnel mgr., very pleasant;

sophomore, eager yet nervous. You

know the story: “The work is hard ;

the hours are long; the pay is—ah—

small; but the experience, son, (with

a sm ile) , it’s wonderfu l!” Sure, sure, soph—stick in there—you’ll be mak­ing $25.00 by the time you’re thirty. So he takes the job (can’t do anything else), works his head off (the first two months) for the Friday chicken feed and Pop pays the tuition again ^most of it anyway) for the sopho­more year despite the fact that the ability of the student to pay his own way after the freshman year is the main reason he has sent “Little Bis­m uth” to Tech.

But the next year it’s different, for by this, “ Big Bismuth” is an accom­plished engineer—that is, he has ac­complished the engineering feat of getting through the first two years of Drexel Tech (which is comparable with that of building the Eiffel Tow er) , and a fine enough recom­m endation for any firm. So bigger things are in store for him. Oh, sure! He gets an interesting job—with fair pay (under §30, of course)—but where is it? You know, T.V.A., Bal­timore or some God-forsaken little town out in the weeds somewhere where he knows absolutely nobody. Oh, he has a good time, understands and knows all the bartenders by their first name (who ever heard a bar­tender’s last nam e?) before his time is up, but things are a long way from being perfect.

Well, by next year “ Bigger Bis­muth,” in his jun ior year (or a course or so short of i t ) , is all set to go to town for 6 months of industry. The future looks great—the job is “on the hall”—the hours are long but the work is anything but dull—and the pay—boy! it’s terrific (say about S.'j0.00 p er) , hut what’s the dead fish this time? You know—he gets the night shift—6 nights a week with F ri ­day—which knocks the heck out of the week-end—and he just can’t spend his money (’course he doesn’t do bad on Saturday night or the football pools) but he finds himself back in school half a year later a rich jerk but disgusted (not because he’s rich) because he’s had no fun.

Senior year rolls a round and “ Big­gest Bismuth” hits the industry jack­pot. His job is fascinating, he’s a key man, hours are short and he’s on day work, no Saturdays, the plant is conveniently located and everything is perfect—the pay being the best he’s made yet. So what could spoil this Utopia, this industrial and finan­cial d ream ?—what could mar this per ­fect picture so well deserved after 3 years of hard knocks? You know— the INCOME TAX—

P.S. Or is it the draft?

M a d eWith the first blasts of winter, we

start to wonder about our fur coat.

We carefully—and so nonchalantly—

pull it out of the closet and lo and

behold . . .

Be-hold!

So what to do but out and buy a

new one. Sounds easy enough to say

—but oh, to do . . .

Problem one: Shall it be cloth or

fur? If cloth, shall it be plain or fur

trimmed? If plain, how p la in? If furred, to what degree?

Problem two: Shall it be tailored or dressy? I f tailored, shall it be fitted or boxy? If dressy, how much so?

So let’s look . . .At a black Chesterfield with fly

front and velvet collar—strictly sport, but oh, so smart with chamois color scarf and gloves . . .

At a fitted black reefer with velvet tuxedo collar and four velvet buttons down the front—slit behind . . .

At an aqua tweed reefer with match­ing W\4AC cap . . .

At a black fitted dress coat with Persian over-vest—and muff to match

W'e saw a stunning red reefer with leopard cuffs and collar—good for what ails you—and high in style but not in price . . .

Or take a very, very job in aqua Shetland with a big silver fox collar and matching hem—for more formal occasions—with plenty of what it takes —and what it takes to get i t . . .

Or a burgundy knubby wool with mink Peter Pan collar, cuffs, and tanned pockets—sort of coquettish— if that’s what you call it.

Or—for those with a little m ore of what one needs—a sheared beaver with that certain swing—collared and cuffed . . .

A black double-breasted reefer with braid-trimmed collar and buttons— nice but not novel . . .

A fitted velour de nord w'ith black skunk modified shawl collar—straight sleeves—tied belt—collar converts from a strictly glamor type to a keep- me-warm woolly one right up to the chin . . .

A wide sing tuxedo with natural lynx border from hem to hem—loose full sleeves—but good . . .

Shirtmaker type with soft bloused bodice buttoning to waist—belted in back and tying in front—tab collar— tight sleeves—in cocoa brown—right for wear . . .

So, gee whiz, we ought to be able to get at least one coat—or two—or three . . .

Or so.
