a few excellent selections by the famous

Maine band. Ntxt came a first classvaudeville show of five long acts, suchas is seldom seen in amateur perform-

ances. The first act was by H. A. At-

wood, who did some clever balancing

stunts. In the second act. Sid Osborne

sang a couple of solos. Then Carl

Stevens came on with him and finally

Foster and Bannister. These four pre-

sented many catchy songs, for which

they deserved the loud applause they re-

bars. The fifth act began with a few

sketches by Sid Osborne, which merged

into a pretty dancing act by Miss Mar-

peared miraculously from Sid Osborne's

easel.Between the vaudeville acts, and af-

Butler College AdoptsAn Old Maine Custom

Maine's "Hello" is now echoing on

the campus at Butler College in Indian-aplois, of which Dr. Robert J. Aley. re-cently of Maine, is president. The But-ler Collegian of Nov. 30. several copies

of which have been received here, con-tains a column article announcing an

adoption of the unwritten rule wherebyevery student on the campus shall greethis fellows with a "Hello" whenever

they chance to meet.Members of the Butler faculty warm-

ly endorse, in interview, this plan. Dr.

Alcy was quoted as saying: "The 'Hello'movement has my unqualified approval.

My enthusiasm in this matter is born

of experience at other colleges and uni-

versities. There is a measureless worthto a hearty 'Hello.' The custom ofgreeting all of your fellow studentsshould become one of the most treas-ured traditions of Butler and insepar-able from the college spirit." To illus-trate what the "Hello" tradition hasmeant to University of Maine, Dr. Aleyfurnished the editors of his college pa-per with a copy of Mr. Cummings'French-Canadian dialect poem on "TheMaine Hello," which recently appearedin The Camrus, and they republished it.

Besides the accomplished pianist, NilsNelson, the company also includes Mari-on Jordan, undoubtedly the leading ladyflutist of America.To be able to have on the campus

showing made by the club so far, buthe says there is still room for improve-ment. He also says there is better ma-terial for a team among the membersof the Student Rifle Club than there waslast year, but many fellows that heknows are good shots have not donemuch practicing this year.On Dec. 16, a squad of 20 active mem-

University LifeUniversity life is a very complex

quantity and may be viewed from manydifferent angles. A question whichshould interest all students here at thisuniversity is: "On what does the successof university life depend?" After givingsome thought to this question the answershould be: "On the conscientious coop-erative effort of every student."

it is natural for the greater percentageof us to take the easiest way out ofanything difficult or boring. We invari-ably "pass the buck" to some other orothers who are willing to accept the responsibility. What is the result of sucha condition? The result is that the heavyburden of work falls on a few alreadyover worked people. They arc not ableto do justice to the task for they aretrying to accomplish more than any oneperson can possibly do properly.You know many in this University

who do absolutely nothing for anyixxlybut themselves. They simply will not ac-cept any responsibility. It is this cia-sof persons who keep the degree of thesuccess of university life here, constant-ly in debate. The enormous potentialenergy of the University is not realizeduntil the students are willing to acceptindividual responsibility. Without thecooperation of everyone we fail; withthe cooperation of all we succeed. Deeyou accept your share of personal re-sponsibility.? If you do. University lifehere will be a great success.

The Maine BannerThe Maine banner, which was stolen

from the Elmwood Hotel after the Col-by football game, has been returned.This banner was taken by a certaingroup of Colby students acting on thespur of the moment without carefulthought.This childish act was not the idea of

the student body representatives and wasnot sanctioned or approved by them.This is stated in a recent editorial in the"Colby Echo." The spirit shown by thestudent body in obtaining the banner andreturning it is highly commendable andshows us that the spirit of the Colbystudents is not 1:11. king.

The Faculty TeamAt the present time there are only

three members of the faculty practicingfor the faculty rifle team. It seems tous that many more of the faculty shouldtry out for this activity and not let theteam die.The annual shoot between the faculty.

the men and the women tel the Univer-sity will be held soon. The existenceof the faculty team depends on the in-terest of its members. The studentslike to feel that the members of the fac-ulty are interested anti active in sonicoutside interest.

Shall the Concerts Go?The questifen of the Lyceum Concerts

is again before us tho in a slightly dif-ferent form. The la•t time this wa•considered it %%as a question of whetherthe concerts were to by well supportedor poorly supported. It has now be-come a question of whether the concert•must be discontinued or not. Shall weas students let such a splendid oppor-tunity for education and enjoyment asthese concerts offer slip away from us?The members of our faculty number

ing 118 have bought 120 course ticketsto the Lyceum Concerts. The studentbody of the University numbering 1400)have bought but 140 season tickets.What is the trouble with our student

body :ilase they a lavk of good tasteand prefer the movies night after night?It is certainly a very evident fact thatsomething is radically wrong.The price of the seats for the remain

ing concerts of the ci.ursc have beenproportionately reduced and it seems tous that there is no excuse for the stu-dent, who do not support these concerts.

Dec. 1, 1921Editor, Maine Campus,Orono, Maine.Dear Sir:

The Maine Christian Association hasalready accomplished much during thefirst three months of the college year.Of the several branches of its activities,not the least important is that of BibleStudy classes or Discussion Groups.The Bible has been called the great-

est of all text-books, but it is more thana text-book.--it is the surest and mostserviceable known guide in the greatbusiness of living. The Bible is theguide book of life. It is, in a very far-reaching sense one of the principal foun-dation stones of our American civiliza-tion. 1 am therefore, greatly pleased tosee the enthusiastic response on the partof the students in the dormitories andfraternities to this part of the M. C. A.program. I do feel that any student inthe University of Maine who allowshimself to complete his four years ofcollege life without gaining a workingknowledge of the English Bible has shuthimself off from a great fund of mostvaluable and fundamental truth whichlie can ill afford to neglect.

December 1, 1921Editor, Maine Campus,Orono, Maine.Dear Sir:

My attention has been called to theDean's List as published in this week'sCampus in which a mistake is made inthe list of the College of Agriculture.The reporter has used the list compiledat the beginning of the present fall se-mester and not the list which pertainsto the last half of the present fall se-mester: unfortunately a number of stu-dents did not maintain the requiredstandard and are dropped from theIkans' List.The list for the last half of the pres-

ent semester for the College of Agricul-ture should read as follows:Seniors: Rhandena Ayer Armstrong.

Dwight Burgess Demeritt. Estelle Na-son, Dorothy Trefethen.Juniors: Myrtie Ann Bean, Frances

Muriel Field, Iva Angerona Merchant.Sophomores: John Alvin Small.Special: Reuben Madison Davis.The list of freshmen is also a little

misleading as the freshmen on theDean's I.ist include only those who haveall A and It grades and does not includeany who have a rank of C or below.The freshmen on the Dean's List are

as follows:Edward J. Berkley, Leroy L. Daw-

son, Stanley C. Lane. Christabel F.Lawrie. Rachel Manchester, Leah D.Smith. Donald L. Trouant, Margaret%'wKiward.As this is an academic matter. 1 think

it would be well to correct the statementin next week's issue of the Campus.

Appreciating your co-operation, I am

Sincerely yours.

Outing Club Has a Hike I, Sigma Nu Has AnnualAnd Marshmallow Toast Initiation and Banquet

—m—The fellows of the Outing Club de-

cided that just hiking was not enough.so on Saturday they added a few stunt,to the program. Some of them e%engot up in the world a bit by climbing theOrono bridge for a snapshot, but theywere not high enough to escape thestinging snowballs of the more timidones. A member of the party suggesteda marshmallow toast on one of theislands below Stillwater, so the hat waspassed and the sweets purchased. Thenthe course up the river bank was re-sumed until the island was finallyreached by walking logs and broad-jumping the smaller channels of theriver. There the chief firemaker pro-duced his flint and tinder and S0611 the"mallies" were browning over a crack-ling blaze.Plans for future hikes were discussed

and some of the objectives mentionedwere Chemo, Bald Mountain, Pushawvia the old Veazie R. R., Cold Stream.and Sunkaze. The object of the club isto promote outdoor sports and recrea-tions. The fellows who have been onthese hikes express their desire to goagain and they plan to have many goodhikes and to make a record in the sportsof the winter carnival.

clared, "can be traced to the very heartof the Federal government, so firmlyare its protagonists entrenched."

In a letter to the trustees, he said, "Ihave been visited by so-called 'Reds'and foreign born members of organiza-tions claiming to be backed by stronginfluences. Such representations, un-doubtedly are part of a deep-laid planto make Valparaiso a center of radicalteaching. It is possible that much ofthe unrest of college life today is dueto these destructive outside influences.aimed to destroy the basic principles up-on which this government is founded."

RESEARCH BELOW ZEROThe science of cold—of extremely low

temperatures—may be regarded bymany persons as still remote from in-dustry. Cryogenics, as this science iscalled, nevertheless, has become a prac-tical subject, particularly the character-istics of gas mixtures in relation toliquefaction and separation of gases forindustrial application purposes. Liquidoxygen has a practical application as anexplosive. If an absorbent pad is sat-urated with a liquid hydrocarbon, itcan, in presence of liquid oxygen, be ex-ploded with great violence. The com-bination is used at the present time inmines in France and Germany. Theonly commercial use of liquid air is asa source of liquid and gaseous oxygen.Other uses may be developed. Knowl-edge of cryogenics aids in separation ofpure helium. Substituting helium forhydrogen removes many dangers fromair ships and baloons.

SCIENCE IN THE AIRSupercharger Aida, Record Breaking

Airplane Flight Possible

The recent record breaking airplaneflight of Lieut. J. A. MacReady to aheight of over 40,000 feet, was madepossible through the use of special tur-bine supercharger. This is a devicewhich takes the scant supply of oxygenfrom the rarefied atmosphere at thesetremendous heights and compresses itto sea level density, supplying it at thisdensity to the carburetors of the air-plane engine.The supercharger dues the same thing

for the' engine that oxygen flasks do forthe pilot—prevents suffocation.Beyond altitudes of 15,000 feet, the

aviator must begin to take oxygen.As the aviator approaches 20,000 feet,

the gas engine of his airplane begins tostruggle, also for want of oxygen; forat that level there is only half as muchoxygen in the atmosphere as there isat sea level. The speed of the engineslows down because there is not enoughoxygen for combustion.Aided by the supercharger, however,

the airplane can now master heights un-attainable without it. The superchargerhas given the gas engine of the airplaneactually more vitality than the man whorides in the airplane.Dr. Sanford A. Moss. research en

gineer, who designed the G. E. super-charger, has made the apparatus workby means of a complete cycle of opera-tions. The red-hot exhaust gases fromthe airplane engine, which formerlypassed off into the air as wasted energy,are now made to discharge against asmall turbine wheel, causing it to re-volve at between 20,000 and 30,000 revo-lutions per minute.The turbine drives a centrifugal air

compressor, which compresses the smallpercentage of oxygen in the rarefied airto sea level density and feeds it intothe carburetors of the engine. Thatenables the engine to continue runningat full power; to continue driving thepropeller of the airship; and to continuedischarging exhaust gases, which inturn, continue to operate the turbinewheel.

institution %%Inch their taxes are help-ing to support turns out worth whileproducts.

If the University were to hire twelvehundred salesmen to advertise it for thetwo weeks of Christmas vacation itwould cost the University $30),000. Thisis the amount of wealth which the stu-dent body can create in the minds ofthe people. The members do not needto canvass from house to house like asalesman, but merely talk up the Uni-versity to those with whom they comein natural contact.How? every one may ask. First, by

making yourself a shingle or a sign forthe educational institution; secondly, bytalking both to the general public andto prospective students; and lastly. hyshowing more refinement, a better atti-tude and more liberal knowledge thanthose who have not been to college. Thechief purpose, as in any sort of adver-tising, is to create a reputation for thecollege which will make it desired aboveany other. Every Maine student shouldbe a good salesman of his Alma Materbecause he really believes in the goodshe is selling. otherwise he would not hegoing to school in Orono.Talk Maine as the place, first, last and

all the time, spreading in a gentle wayher needs and you will be making hera real Christmas present. Such werethe points which Professor Kuenystressed especially.

Beta Gamma FraternityBecomes the Chi Omega

Students and alumni will be glad tohear of Jim Baldwin's success at Trin-ity College. where he has followed ath-letics since leaving Maine. Baldwin wasfor two years Director of Athletics andFootball Coach here at the University.Under his coaching in 1919 Maine wonthe State championship and the sameyear had the honor of the New Englandchampionship for State universities.

According to the News and Observer.Baldwin deserves a great deal of creditfor the showing his team made in de-feating Wake Forest 17-0, at Raleigh.November 10. This was the first im-portant football game the Methodistshave played in twenty-seven years, andtheir splendidly coached team staged asurprise that was a sensation in thefootball field of the whole State. Saysthe Niles and Observer: "The victory ofthe Methodists was as unexpected as itwas decisive. Before the game. theirBaptist rivals were picked by nonparti-san critics to win to the tune of aboutthree touchdowns. But Coach Baldwin'smachine gave the big holiday crowd ofsome 3500 people a thorough going sur-prise, as well as a rattling good exhibi-tion of football as played by the book."Crushing to shreds the vaunted

Wake Forest strength. the Trinity teamkept the Baptists on the defensive dur-ing the whole struggle. The same teamwhich completed a dozen forward passesagainst Carolina was not able to getaway with a single one against theMethodists. The Trinity warriors,though outweighed, were easy mastersof the situation, and showed that theyhave received and taken ads antage ofthe best kind of coaching."

Beta Gamma became a national fra-ternity on Friday, Dec. 2 at four o'clockwhen the society became the Xi Betachapter of Chi Omega. Mary C. LoveCollins, the National Grand President ofChi Omega, with the aid of thirteengirls from the Beta chapter at Colby,installed the chapter. Mrs. Walkley, whois one of the Chi Omega patronesses.opened her home to the girls for the in-.stallation.With the formation of Xi Beta chap-

ter, Chi Omega becomes the strongestwomen's fraternity in New England aswell as one of the largest in the UnitedStates. The chapter now has 24 mem-bers at the University of Maine. Thisyear's pledges have been: Louise Mes-ser '24. Arlene Besse '25. Mildred Fos-ter '25. Hortense Bryant '25, Helen Wal-lace '25, Annie Belle Thurston '25, LucyDunn '25.

Miss Rosalind Jewett. head of the ex-tension department of U. of M.. MissInez Boler, assistant librarian, and Mrs.Herman Sweetser are all alumni mem-bers of the Colby chapter who are nowconnected with the University of Mainenow.The patronesses are: Mrs. Walkley.
