The hijjhli^ht of the cvcninjj

Drexel Tech is generally re­garded as an also-ran where ma­jor sports a re concerned. Many Dragon a th le tes have late classes, and as a resu l t some practice ses­sions s ta r t as la te as 5 p.m. And with Drexel’s cooperative program, where the s tuden t works in in­dustry th ree months out of the year, some par t ic ipan ts put in an eight-hour day before reporting for practice.

Yet, since 1947, Drexel soccer coach Don Yonker has consistently turned out fine team s despite the handicaps. The fo rm er Frankford High and Temple g radua te (class of 19.32) was an All-American right halfback in 193 2. In six years at Drexel, he has won four championships in the Southern Division of the Southeast District, Middle A tlantic Conference.

Last season, his team won the title the ha rd way. Its season record (5 victories, 4 losses, 1 tie) doesn’t tell the story. Drexel lost four of its first five games, gain­ing one tie. Only one of those losses, however, was in league competition. Then the Dragons won the ir las t five games— four by shu tou ts as co-captain Jim Reyner, th e ir goalie, limited the opposition to one goal (by Ur- sinus). Those las t five tr iumphs gave Drexel the title.

In la te December, the All- America Selection Committee for the National Soccer Coaches As­sociation of America named the top five candida tes for each posi­tion from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware area.SOCCER PLAYERS on Page 2

As a Naval Aviation Cadet, or NavCad as he is known in Navy circles, he masters three dist inct phases of the F light T ra in ­ing Program before he can wear his gold wings of a Naval aviator and commissioned officer in the Naval or Marine Air Reserve. These are Pre-Flight Training, Basic Flight Training, and ad ­vanced Flight Training.

In J’re-Flight School, the Xav- Cad learns the fundamental sub­jects essential to his fu ture as a pilot and an officer. During; this phase tlie cadets study navigation, weather forecasting, engineering and many o ther aviation courses. Four months later, the XavCad enters the eight m onth liasic Flight IValning. Here, a f te r about 22 hours of dual instruction flights in the SXJ “Te.\an” t ra in e r he eeelves his first solo flight.

New Type Plant Food Developed by Du Pont

Du Pont Company has developed a new plant food which may either be sprayed on the leaves or applied to tlie soil.

The new product, known as Du Pont Soluble P lan t F'ood, will sup­ply a balanced diet of nitrogens, phosphorous, potassium, and the essential elements to the plants.

Nitrogen, the principal element used by plants in producing green leaves, is the element made most available by the food. While there are 75,000,000 pounds of nitrogen in the columns of air above an acre of land, only a few plants, such as beans, peas, and clover, are able to utilize this ele­mental a tmosphere nitrogen.

However, when sprayed on the leaves, certain nitrogen compounds move rapidly through the leaf su r ­faces and become quickly avail­able for plant growth.

Freshm an: “ W hat do you mean by slinging the bu ll?”

Sophomore: “ To sling the bull is to prevent the professor from realizing that you are saying noth ­ing in a great many words.”

Jun io r : “To sling the bull is to say little in a great many w’ords, so as to give the impression tha t you are familiar with w’hatever the text is covering.”

Senior: “ To sling the bull is to say as much as possible in well- chosen words so as to convey the impression tha t you are familiar ■with the material under examina­tion, in spite of the fact th a t you have been unable to devote suffi­cient effort to study adequately an unduly difficult assignment.”

This year National Brotherhood Week will be celebrated from February 15'22.

Brotherhood Week, which is annually observed in more than 7,000 communities from coast to coast, gives all of us a real opportunity to restate our faith in a prin^ ciple the world so desperately needs to grasp—the brotherhood of man.

The following editorial appeared in the Jackson Citizen Patriot and is reprinted with their permission.

TH ERE’S NO W H ITE BLOOD

A colored lad, coming home from an Army camp, was carried from the wreck' age of the “sleigh ride” plane in which he was a hitchhiker. At the hospital the doctors ordered immediate blood transfusions. The nurses didn’t go to a special refrigerated cabinet marked “Negro blood.” They just gave that boy type “0” blood in a big hurry and no questions asked.

And down at the Red Cross blood col' lecting station a Negro woman waits in line between two white men. Her blood, freely contributed to a common cause, goes in the blood bank along with the white blood. And some day it may

L e t t e r s C o l u m n

save the life of a white man or woman somewhere in the world.

There is no white blood or black blood, no Protestant blood or Jewish blood, no Catholic blood or Moham^ medan blood.

Laborator>' scientists have made metic- ulous checks. All human beings have the same blood types. You may find type “A ” in a Polynesian whose ancestors happily people Pacific islands, also the same type may trickle from a pin prick in the finger of a white housewife in Jackson, Michigan.

The Army, the Navy, the Marines and the Air Force know this.

They don’t quarrel about ancestry or creed. If you've ever been in that huge American cemetery near Cambridge, England, or the great W orld W ar I bury' ing ground at Chateau Thierry, France, here and there among the stone crosses which mark the graves of Christians you have seen the stars of David designating the sacrifices of Jewish lads. They fought and died and now sleep together.

This country of ours was founded on the one basic concept that all men are equal before God and the law.

P L A C E M E N T OFFICE A N S W E R S

To the Editor:The Placement Office was recently

lashed by the mighty pen of Chuck, the Don Quixote of D.I.T. I believe that his attack is based on an erroneous aS' sumption. He is not alone in his error. Both last year and this year I found a small but voluble group among the sen' iors who expected this office to hand them a job. That would be nice, except for one important consideration. I feel that the individual is much better qualified to pick his own job than we are to pick it for him. He is the man who is going to be glad or sad over his job—not Miss Ziegler or myself.

The Placement Office does not and can' not get jobs for anyone. The individual gets his own job, but we are willing to assist him, within reason. If, for ex' ample, a man comes around to us sup' posedly looking for a job, is supplied with numerous leads, but does not follow through on them, what is the Placement Office supposed to do? Plead with him?

In that situation, it is natural to assume that, for one reason or another, that man does not want the job. To find out later that he and a friend have arranged for a cushy summer job would bear out the assumption. Again I say, what can the Placement Office do? Plead?

I deplore the current trend in recruit' ment which almost ignores the Business Student. Still, let’s face it, industries’ demand, not the Placement Office, regU' lates recruiting activity.

Any Placement Office at any school must serve three interested parties: 1. business and industry; 2. graduates, and3. the school. Experience has shown that compromises of those interests is the best way to give maximum satisfaction. W hat does a compromise imply? Set' tling for something less than desired, but more than nothing.

That’s how it is—let’s face it!

Cordially,

S T U D E N T W A I T S T O G IV E M O N E YRecently, Drexel again raised its tui'

tion to compensate for increased wages to the school help. The increase in wages seems to have brought about a deterioration of the service rendered by some of this same help. I am referring to the Comptroller’s office in particular. Drexel’s Bureau of Internal Revenue could undoubtedly use some pointers on the technique of collecting money with' out offending the student paying his bill.

Numerous times students who have gone to the office with the intention of paying their bills have been kept wait' ing for unreasonable lengths of time while the office help has found it con' venient to discuss at length worldly mat' ters.

Are we paying increased tuition so that certain office workers can gossip more efficiently?

Congratulations are in order to Swarth' more— a so-called “sophisticated” college.This past Saturday evening the minority of Drexel students at Sayre Junior High witnessed an inspiring lesson in school morale. W ith a team that has yet to taste victory this season and playing on a court about 20 miles from the Swarth' more campus, the Garnet rooters out' numbered and outcheered the loyal Drex' el fans.

It is obvious that such a thing as school spirit exists in the ivy covered halls of a school that most Drexel students con' sider snobbish. That a school the size of Swarthmore can muster over half its enrollment to attend an away basketball game, attests to the fact that something is lacking in the Drexel student’s makeup.

Recently the dorm girls received free permission to attend Drexel basketball games. This supposedly removed the only barrier for their non'attendance; yet,

Q u e s t i o n B o x

IS C U T S Y S T E M S A T I S F A C T O R Y ?

if anything, attendance has been poorer. The fact that this year’s team is one of the best in recent years has failed to bring out even Drexel’s “ fair weather” fans.

It seems as though the only way to get a Drexel student to attend any extra- curricular activity is to make it compul' sory. Even the fraternities who are sup' posedly the backbone of Drexel’s grand' stand rooters have seemingly gone out of their way to schedule social events on the night of games.

W hen the Drexel games were played in Curtis Hall, poor attendance was blamed on the unbearable conditions of the gym. The change to Sayre Junior High, which was to relieve this situation, seems to have been a needless measure. A return to Curtis Hall is imminent, and what a catastrophe it would be if we were to return again to the site of the notorious “sweatbox.”

One of the vital questions on campus this week is “W hat do you think of the present cut system?” Everyone has their own ideas on this subject and the T rI' ANGLE is attempting to bring them out into the open. Some are for leaving the system as is and others advocate drastic changes. W e present some of the answers we have received here and hope to present more opinions on this subject in the near future.

The winner of this week’s CHESTER' FIELD contest for the best answer is PETER LIACOURAS.

TEX M ASON—FRESHM AN BUS. AD. CO-OP

I think the present cut system is quite adequate. Too often people take cuts just for the sake of not going to class rather than for some legitimate reason for which they were intended. After all, you have paid your full tuition, why not take advantage of it?

ED R O M A N —PRE-JUNIOR BUS. AD. CO-OP

I think the cut system is very Hberal as it is. However, the M.T. department should allow one cut from drill to let fellows who live away get an earlier start home. I think the penalty for late' ness is rather inconsistent. A person who is a minute late suffers as much as one who is half an hour late. Possibly the penalty to grades could be made less harsh.

ROY GASKELL—PRE.JUNIOR E.E.A t the present time I have one Bus.

Ad. course and the rest Engineering sub' jects. Roll is taken only in the B.A. course. I have found that it’s impossible for our engineers to take advantage of the cut system and still keep up on their marks.

JA N ET GALVIN—SOPH. BUS.I think the present cut system should

be kept for freshmen and students on probation; but, after the first year, pass' ing students should be sensible enough to be allowed unlimited cuts without tak' ing advantage of the privilege. W e know what we will gain or lose by cutting and we should be allowed to make the deci- sion for ourselves.

BILL M USTO—PRE-JUNIOR ELEC. ENG.

A cut system based on averages would be inadequate since averages are com' puted only in the spring. Unlimited cuts

could be hazardous to small classes and to freshmen. I think that cuts should be based on classification. A freshman should be allowed a number of cuts equal to the number of credit hours of the course. A sophomore should be allowed that number, plus one. A pre'junior, one more per course, and so on. There should be no penalty for cuts before or after holidays because students living far from school usually have to disrupt their holi' day in order to be back on time. This system would allow sufficient cuts for all, preventing laxity among younger groups and allowing upperclassmen to al' lot their cuts as they see fit.

PETER J. LIA CO U RA S—SENIORThe incidence of intellectual honesty

at Drexel appears to be so far from an universal phenomenon that it seems necessary that there be a rule requiring attendance at all class meetings.

It is my contention that the present system of dealing with “cut” offenders is too lenient. My proposal is to outlaw all unexcused absences, with the punish' ment for violators being expulsion from the Institute. I have devised a plan for the realization of that end, and I respectfully submit it to the administra- tion, faculty, and students for their con' sideration.

(Ed. J^ote—See Cut Plan, Page 6)

Having closely observed the attitude of many of Drexel’s students, during my four years here, I have come to the following conclusions: a) the superior student seldom, if ever, is absent from class, and is not overly concerned with the subject of “cuts” ; b) the mediocre student uses up all of his cuts, and then some more, and is the agitator who clamors for “a change in our cut system so as to provide unlimited absences for us . . . mature college students” ; c) the poor student is usually the one who is detected over'cutting and is punished accordingly. H e’s the fellow who con' tinually reverts to the familiar cry: “ I passed the final exam, but that ‘so and so teacher’ flunked me because I was over'cut; it isn’t fair (sob).” Then, foh lowing the lead of his dogmatic colleague, the mediocre student, he, too, pleads for unlimited absences and sometimes sin' cerely believes that therein lies the rea' son for his mal success.

LET’S FACE IT, the STUDENTS will challenge the kindly old FACULTY to a game of basketball on Friday, March 6th, at 8:00 p.m. in the Curtis Hall (snicker) gymnasium. To everybody present it will be one of the term ’s most entertaining nights, but to all of us behind the scenes, it will have been nothing moi e than a series of one gruesome investigation after another. Drexel made KEFAUVER look like a piker. You see, one cannot stage an event such as this until one calls in the F. B. I. and checks thoroughly the family background of everyone participating in the spectacle. A Student-Faculty game is far more than a mere contest of sport. If every member in the game is not completely screened, the tradi­tional battle can turn into some­thing short of a ST. VALEN­

T IN E ’S MASSACRE. Let me ex­plain.

Thir ty years ago, the students of Drexel challenged the kindly old Facul ty to a friendly game of MASSACRE on Page 6

Cut P/an Offered Based on Grades

Tlie policy of the administration would he that students are re­quired to a t tend all classes. The question of any particular s tu ­den t’s satisfactory or unsatiafac- :ory attendance would be a m at­ter for tlie individual instructors to decide. In this manner, the question of at tendance would boil down to the in s t ruc to rs’ discretion.

If. in the opinion of the teacher, :i student is nussing class too of­ten, he should inform the Dean of Men or Women. The latter would then write to the student and his parents s ta ting th a t any further absences will result in the s tudent’s being placed on AH- SKNCE PROBATION. If the s tu ­dent again cuts class, he is on ABSENCE PROBATION. At this point, a second letter to the s tu ­dent and his paren ts is in order. It should state tha t any additional absences would automatically re­mit in the s tu den t’s expulsion from the Institute. All appeals w’ould be handled by the Committee on Student Discipline.

To make provisions for the bet­ter students. I fu r the r believe that fhere should be a “ DEAN’S LIST.” The students who are members thereof would be permitted un ­limited cuts for the term tha t he is on the honor roll. The qualitt- cations for membership would be these:

1. At least th ree hours of “ A” work: 90-100.

2. No more than three hours of “ C” work: 70-79.

3. All the rest being " B ” work: 80-89.

4. At least 15 credit hours of work in the term.

5. A weighted average of a t least 84.

One further point is concerned with “ holiday cuts ” To encour­age the frequenting of classes im­mediately before and afte r a holi­day, I believe th a t any student miss- CUT SYSTEM on Page 6

basketball. It was to be a jolly affair. T ha t night everybody scrambled in to the gym, and quick­ly commented on the quaint deco­rations. The boys and girls had hung dumm ies of members of the kindly old Faculty from the ceil­ing in effigy. livery dummy had a name-sign nailed to its chest. It w asn’t unti l the third quar te r tha t the fans realized they weren’t dummies.

The Dean of Women at the time was a MRS. BARNES. She was head Faculty cheerleader. The crowd seemed quite amazed when she did th ree cartwheels across the judges’ bench, and som ersau lt ­ed up and down the aisles. But w'hen she ji t te rbugged with the referee and did a half-ganor out of the gym window, they thought the grey-haired old lady was ca r ­rying her enthusiasm a wee bit too far. (Shortly a f te r the game it was discovered tha t a mischie­vous li tt le fun-loving s tuden t had sprinkled a collection of South African ants In her cheerleading bloomers.) It w asn’t until the following week th a t they located MRS. BARNES on top of a trolley In a P.T.C. car-barn a t F ron t and Dauphin Streets.

W’hen the game got under way, it was evident to all tha t a lively and hard fought tussle Nvould en ­sue. After a rugged scrimmage under the boards, one s tudent re ­m arked to another , “ Doesn’t PROF. BILLINGS have an aw'fully blue complexion and large ‘A dam ’s Apple’ to n ig h t? ” To which the o ther replied, “ T h a t ’s not BILL­INGS’ ‘A dam ’s Apple,’ you fool. Someone has shoved the basket ­ball down his th ro a t .” And at one point in the game, a s tudent gleefully slipped a fourteen foot stick of dynamite in to the sweat­pants of a passing instructor. At first everyone present agreed tha t the officials were using a terribly loud gun to end the quarte rs . Then they noticed half of DR. KRAFT on the ceiling, and half in the far basket.

The second half was indeed a riot. The S tudents moved the ball so fast th a t the kindly old Faculty were baffled. (At one point, in ­stead of using the ball, the All- S tars were dribbling DR. W^ES-

LEY.) The third quar te r was a close one. and during a hectic mo­ment, MR. C. J. CULBERT stole the ball, and dashed for the op­posing goal. The student-player gave the teacher a friendly hip as he went by. (Consequently the Administration was forced to drop all Marketing courses from the curr iculum for two terms.)

T hat year one of the s tudents playing had an Accounting Cost Set (a forty hour project) re turned to him m arked “ No good, you lazy r a t . ” At tha t instant, the dejected s tuden t began harboring a sup­pressed persecution complex a im ­ed a t Accounting teachers. Dur­ing the basketball game, MR. NAGELE, Professor of Accounting, bent over to gain possession of a rolling ball. Immediately, the paranoid bookkeeping s tuden t gazed at the P ro f’s ra the r chubby posterior and envisioned “ debit” on one side and “ cred it” on the o ther. Before the poor s tudent was able to control himself, his foot shot out and caught mellow old NAGELE right in the “ asse t .” (BIG BILL will be back in the Ilne-up th is year.)

How'ever, it works both ways. WHien this game took place, DR. J A F F E was not only teaching his finance courses, but the man was also in charge of schedules. That night, one All-Star faked the good Doctor out of his statistical sneak ­ers and w’ent down the fioor to scoi-e the winning two points. The F acul ty was quite perturbed at JA F F E (they refused to let him play pin-the-tail-on-the-student in the Ryder Club for a week) and DR. JA F F E in turn was quite ir ­r i ta ted a t the S tudent All-Star. Since then, the poor soul has pulled a m ark of 24 in Corp. Finance, a — 7 in Statistics and has been unable to fit E]nglish 12 in his ros te r for 127 terms.

And SLAM DISQUE was jum p­ing center th a t year for the F a ­culty. W hen he tapped the ball to s ta r t the game, the good Dean was quite forceful, and con­sequently sprained his wrist. (Be­

cause of this accident, DISQUE was forced to play the bass violin le ft-handed, l imiting his reperto ire in the Spring Music Festival to the middle part of “ Roll Me Over in the Clover.” ) The Dean ex­pelled the opposing center.

Teamwork, Spirit Play

Big Role in Both Wins;

1 Walker, Roman Leadersby Don Margolis

UHing their week’s layoff to good advantaRe, the Drexel f resh ­man team has come back to beat Swarthmore and Haverford, and bring their season’s record to 3 wins and 4 losses. Their team ­work and spir it were as much in | evidence as their lack of height in their two victories. With Gene Szukalski and Bill Harley pacing the at tack the team romped over the Garnet 79-56. They were not as impressive in beating Haver­ford 6G-58, but Coach Charlie Pascale substituted freely, using twelve men, all of whom scored.

In the Swarthmore encounter the Dragons started slowly, lead­ing by only two points at the end of the first quarter. By the end of the half, though, the team had built up a 39-27 lead. Szukalski, h it t ing nicely from under the bas­ket, led the scoring in the third quarte r, af te r which the substi ­tu tes took over. In addition to Szukalski and Harley the other s ta r te rs played the ir usual good game with Urban and St. Ledger looking good in relief. Macy was the standout on the Swarthmore team with 23 hard earned points.

Wednesday n igh t’s game with Haverford \vas a case of a good first half and a dull finish. The sta rt ing team, led by Harley, Campbell, and O’Brien, had no trouble building up a 13 point ad ­vantage in the first two quarters . Harley, in particular, was ou t­standing. He was the sparkplug on offense, seeming to score when­ever he wished bu t passing off nicely on many of his drives. A1 Irvine, Haverford center, led both teams in scoring with 21 points. The subs played most of the sec­ond half, and al though they had trouble m ainta in ing the lead tha t had been built up, they showed flashes of promise for fu tu re games.

e Pies Knock Lambda From Unbeaten Ranks

by Jay Caesar

The results of last week’s interfraternity basketball contests show that ajiother team has been knocked from the ranks of the undefeated. Lambda Chi Alpha lost its first game this season leaving only the 1052 champs, Theta Chi, and a powerful Pi Kappa Phi team as proud pos­sessors of unbeaten records.

Sigma Pi broke into the winning column Thursday by stopping Delta Kappa Rho while in the nightcap Alpha Pi Lam bda upset previously undefeated Lambda Chi. Tuesday a revitalized Sigma Alpha Mu five scored its first vic­tory over Sigma Pi. The second half of the double-header saw the Pi Kaps maintain the ir unbeaten s ta tu s by dumping an aggressive Apple Pi squad.

The Appe Pies came up with a spectacular game as they handed L am bda Chi their first defeat 58- 48. Big Dick Glazier put on an exhibition of sharp shooting th a t was a delight to see. He sank 10 field goals and 2 foul shots for a season high of 22 points as a re-

Dragons S e e k R even g e Against St, Josephus College

by Older and Rosenkoff

If there ever was a large throng rooting for Drexel, there should be one at ('onvention Hall tomori'ow night, for the mighty Hawks of St. Joseph’s College sui)ply the opposition in the first part of an all- city double header.

The Hawks who were sporting a 9-8 record up until last Wednesday night, when they met La Salle, have two of the most underrated players of this district in Doogan and Garrity.

The Dragons will be out for revenge a f te r losing to the City Line Avenue team last year. So far this season St. Joe has lost two games to inter-city teams; to Temple and one of the top teams in the country , the Explorers of La Salle College. On the other hand the Hawks, in a recent game beat Rhode Island by more than 100 points and broke some 13 or 14 records for the team and a certain individual named Garrity who scored 44 points.

The Ju n io r Varsity will also be busy on the 24th, but they will play in the a fte rnoon a t 2:30 in Curtis Hall aga inst Brown Prep.This will be the second time these two have faced each other.

After the varsity takes care of 3t. Jo e ’s, they will journey up to Collegeville to meet the Bears of Ursinus. After opening the season poorly, the Bears have reorgan ­ized to become a th rea t in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last week Ursinus upset PMC and s tands h igher in the league than Drexel.

The scoring ace of the Bruins is Bill Swett and most of the ac­tion is centered around him. How­ever, the Cozenmen came out on top in the ir last encounter with the Bears and they are a n t ic ip a t ­ing the same with such sta lw arts as Ed Roman. Dick Walker, and Art Jones, with able assistance from Danny Promislo and Bud Seidel.
