Time

The annual fall Intramural Box­ing Tournament will take place on the evenings o f November 23, and 26, and December 3 and 6 at 7.00 p. m., with admission charges for these re­spectively .25, .25, .50, .50. A tourna­ment ticket will be sold fo r $1.00 which will provide for all four meets.

Each fraternity will be allowed to enter two men only in each weight,— 115, 125, 135, 145, 160, 175, and un­limited. To gain participation points a fraternity must enter five men in at least three weights. Each con­testant must weigh in November 23 between 3.00 and 5.00 p. m., and be examined by the University Physician at that time. Before each fight the same procedure will be followed at the same hours. A contestant is allowed four pounds leeway of his respective weight class. Drawings will be made at 5.00 p. m., November 23 at which time each fraternity is asked to have a representative present as no changes will be permitted after the drawings have been made.

The main object o f the Intramural Boxing Tournament is to uncover promising material for the Varsity Boxing team. With the physical edu­cation classes in boxing under Coach “ Pal” Reed, there should be several new contenders appearing on the hori­zon. Last year there was some fine material discovered in the Intramu­ral contests and it is expected that this year will see the same result.

DURHAM ENTERTAINED BY

VIOLIN AND PIANO

Second Program o f Lyceum Course Well Applauded by Large Audience — Howard Goding, Pianist, and

Carmela Ippolito, Violinist, in Joint Recital

DR. W. A. BARTLETT ADDRESSES CONVO

Natick Speaker Graduate o f Dart­mouth— Speaker for Anti-Saloon League o f Massachusetts— For­

mer Massachusetts Director Of Near East Relief

Dr. William A. Bartlett o f North Natick, Mass., addressed the student body at the University in the weekly convocation exercises held in the Gymnasium Wednesday afternoon.

Dr. Bartlett is the son of Samuel Colcord Bartlett, who was President o f New Hampshire College at the time o f its location at Hanover from 1877 to 1891. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College.

Dr. Bartlett is a speaker for the Anti-Saloon League o f Massachu­setts and previous to holding this po­sition, was Massachusetts Director o f the Near East Relief. He spoke to the student body on a phase o f the life o f Abraham Lincoln which is not very often touched upon.

Adrian O. Morse, Dean o f Men, presided over the exercises in the absence of President Edward M. Lewis. Music was furnished by the University Band.

The second entertainment of this year’s Lyceum Course was given last night in the university gymnasium. The perform ing artists were Carmela Ippolito, violinist, and Howard God­ing. The varied program was well executed and appreciably accepted by the audience.

The program was as follow s: “ Car- naval,” Preambule, Arlequin, Valse Noble, Coquette, Chiarina, Chopin, Reconnaisance, Valse Allemande, Aveu, Promenade, Pause, Marche des “ Davidsbundler” contre les Philistins, — by Schumann, played by Mr. God­ing; “ Allegro,” by Tartini, “ Traume,” by W agner, and “ Rondo,” by Mozart, played by Miss Ippolito; “ Nocturne,” by Chopin, “ Waltz in D flat,” by Chopin, and “ Stacatto Etude,” by Rubenstein, played by Mr. Goding; “ Intermezzo,” by Granados, “ Hymn to the Sun,” by Rimsky-Korsakoff- Kreisler, and “ Rondino,” by Vieux- temps, played by Miss Ippolito; “ Danse Espagnole,” by Granados, “ Tango,” by Albeniz, and “ Waltz in E m ajor,” by Moszkowski, played by Mr. Goding.

Mr. Goding is a solo pianist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Miss Ippolito is a solo violinist with the same orchestra. Both players have appeared in previous lyceum courses at the University. Mr. Goding was here last year as accompanist for Paul Shirley’s Trio. Miss Ippolito has not given a recital here in some 3rears, however.

Mr. Goding is considered by musi­cal critics to be one o f the most bril­liant o f young American pianists. Following a recent appearance in Boston, one critic said that his play­ing is “ always thoughtful; never dry; individual, but not whimsical, nor capricious; episodes finely contrasted, not chopped or detached, but part and parcel o f a beautiful fabric. Mr. Goding has the desirable attributes of the virtuoso-musician.”

Miss Ippolito has been quoted as saying that she believes that in order to be a great artist a musician should come as near to being a saint as pos­sible. For this reason she says that she often fasts fo r several days be­fore an important concert.

CHI OMEGA SORORITY HOLDS DANCE AT CHAPTER HOUSE

Last Friday afternoon, from four until six o ’clock, the Chi Omegas held a tea dance at their chapter house. Mrs. Rena Kramer and Mrs. Carl Lundholm acted as patronesses. Mu­sic was furnished by the Red Ramb­lers and the house was decorated in red and black. Refreshments o f co f­fee and sandwiches were served.

UNIVERSITY BAND OUTCLASSES BRUINS

Brown Band and New Hampshire Band Furnish Much Support to Teams and Receive Great Ova­

tion

The University Band travelled to Providence Saturday and furnished excellent support for the team. Be­tween the halves there was a veritable battle o f music between the Brown Band and the visitors. New Hamp­shire’s delegation on the whole out­classed that of Brown. In playing in formation the two were equal, but in marching the Bruins were dis­tinctly outclassed, according to cur­rent opinion. As the New Hampshire Band advanced toward the Brown stands and slowly expanded into a perfect “ B,” they received great ap­plause.

Brown also furnished a fine appear­ance in their formation of the “ N. H.” New Hampshire’s Band, in their white trousers and blue sweaters pre­sented a fine appearance and cer­tainly deserve credit for the excellent work they did, according to Boston newspapers.

Big Open House Library Feature

Book Circulation Doubled During Succeeding Week

Each Department o f University Has Exhibition— Display o f Early Bind­ings, Old Forms o f Music Scores,

and New Fall Books Especially Interesting

ATWATER KENT VICTROLAS AND RADIOS

The anuual Library Open House, which is a feature o f National Book Week, proved most successful this year. Students, faculty, and towns­people came to the number o f twelve hundred, or twice as many as the year previous. That their interest in new and old books was not transitory is proven by doubling o f the circula­tion in the week following. The L i­brary staff received the guests be­tween seven and ten o ’clock, conducted them through the Library and ex­plained the various exhibits.

Each department o f the University was allotted a table. The English department to commemorate the ter­centenary of John Bunyan’s birth dis­played a series o f large colored prints illustrating “ Pilgrim ’s Progress,” as well as early editions o f that classic. Old English coins and the Lord’s Prayer in Anglo-Saxon were also in­teresting to many students.

The Modern Language Department showed rare book bindings, tapestries, pottery, and incunabula. The Edu­cation, Sociology, and Home Econom­ics departments exhibited new books in their fields. The latter department also brought over a small table loom, rugs, and other work o f the students. The History department set forth the claims o f various countries at the Peace Conference in 1919, while the Extension Service and Experiment Station arranged their recent publi­cations for inspection.

Book and Scroll had a group of etchings o f Cairo and its environs. Mask and Dagger had a table with books about Sheridan and “ The R i­vals.” which it was to present the following evening. Mr. Roland Part­ridge loaned a very fine Whistler etching which he had recently pur­chased.

The Library was glad o f an oppor­tunity to put on view the new fall books, both fiction and non-fiction. All o f the outstanding ones mentioned by John Clair Minot in his lecture the previous evening were accessible. Old and rare books belonging to the Li­brary were grouped together. The contrast between modern clothes and those o f sixty years ago was empha­sized by plates in Godey’s Lady’s Book, Graham’s, and Peterson’s Mag­azines on the one hand, and Vogue, H arper’s Bazaar, and Fashionable Dress on the other.

Old homes in Durham were shown in photographs loaned to Miss Char­lotte A. Thompson, Assistant Librar­ian and senior member o f the staff, by the D. A. R. for the occasion. Books written in New Hampshire and by New Hampshire authors were located on a map o f the state.

The Library building was decorated with palms, carnations, and chrysan­themums, book jackets and posters. During the evening Mr. Lewis pointed out on a nearby bulletin board the winning poster in the school contest and awarded the prize o f a book to the winner. Punch and cookies were served during the evening. The Li­brary committee in charge o f Open House consisted o f Miss Mary E. Fait, Mrs. Richard H. Kimball, Miss Mildred Danforth, and Miss Eleanor Bell.

SOCIETY DELEGATES TO VISIT NEW YORK

John Kelly and Ruth Pitcher to Rep­resent Fraternities and Sororities

In National Conference to Dis­cuss Deferred Rushing

A national conference o f fraterni­ties and sororities is to be held in New York City as a result o f the most hectic rushing season probably ever experienced in the Universities. The delegates are to convene in the Hotel Pennsylvania November 30 and December 1.

The subject of deferred rushing will be considered principally, in an effort to reach some systematic solu­tion for the present problem of rush­ing.

There is a strong feeling on the part o f fraternities and sororities throughout the country that the pres­ent system of rushing can be greatly ameliorated, hence the meeting to ex­change ideas. John Kelly, President o f Casque and Casket, will represent the University’s fraternities, while Ruth Pitcher is to be the delegate o f the sororities.

Harriers Second In New Englands

Freshman Team Wins N. E. I. C. A. A. Meet

Maine Runners Again New England Champions— New Hampshire In

Second Place— Third Consecu­tive Victory for Freshmen

PLEDGING NOTICE

Delta Kappa announces the pledg­ing o f Edith Stone, ’30, o f Dover, N.H., and Arlene Forbes, ’32, o f Ports­mouth, N. H.

Last Monday the Varsity Cross Country team took second place in the New England Inter-Collegiate A. A. cross country championships held on the Franklin Park course at Boston, while the Freshman Cross Country team took first place in their race between other freshman teams enter­ed in the New Englands. The meet was won by the strong Maine team which had Lindsey and Richardson finishing in the first two places. Bene­dict, finishing third, was the first New Hampshire man in, while How­ard, his team-mate, was close be­hind him in fourth place. Cote of the New Hampshire Freshman team won the freshman race in the New Englands.

Seventy-four runners from 11 col­leges started in the varsity race and all but one man finished. Maine, by winning in this event, placed men in first, second, fifth, 16th and 22d places. New Hampshire took second place in the race, placing men in third, fourth, seventh, eighth, 31st and 32d places. Bates was third with 65 points; Williams, fourth, with 117; M. I. T., fifth, with 160; Tufts, sixth, with 162; Holy Cross, seventh, 167; Amherst, eighth, 209; Mass. A g ­gies, ninth, 215; Northeastern, 10th, 249; and Boston University, 11th, 260.

Almost from the starting signal there was little doubt but that a Maine man would capture the indiv­idual honors, as Richardson f and Lindsey, abreast during the greater part o f the distance, cut out a stiff pace, which left other competitors far behind.

At the end of the first mile W al­lace Viles o f Bates was in third place, with Benedict of New Hampshire fourth, followed by his team-mates, Hazen, Cahalan, and Howard.

At the five mile mark Benedict had shot into third place and he held this position to the finish. Hobbs of Bates was fourth and Howard of New Hampshire and Brooks o f Maine were fighting it out for fifth place. Into the last mile of the race came the runners, Lindsey and Richardson matching strides, and Benedict in third place. Howard and Brooks shot past Hobbs o f Bates, and, in the closing yards, Howard outdistanced Brooks. Hobbs came in sixth, Hazen of New Hampshire was seventh, and Cahalan of New Hampshire, eighth.

Guest Later o f Alumni Associations in Washington— Attends Annual Meeting of Academy of Political

Science in New York

An announcement has been made from the Office o f Administration at the University that President Ed­ward M. Lewis is spending the week in Washington and New York on business.

Monday and Tuesday o f this week President Lewis attended the thirty- third annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities, held at the M ayflower Hotel in Wash­ington.

At this meeting the follow ing top­ics o f interest to this institution were discussed: “ Group Life in State Uni­versities,” “ Administrative: Respon- sibilty in the State University,” “ The Larger Relations of State Universi­ties,” and “ Educational Tendencies Affecting State Universities.”

Following the meeting of Associa­tion of State Universities, President Lewis attended the forty-second an­nual convention o f the Association o f Land-Grant Colleges and Universi­ties, held at the Hotel Willard.

The general theme of this conven­tion was, “ How the Land-Grant Col­leges and Universities Have Found Themselves.”

President Lewis is a member of the committee on College Organization and Policy and took an active part in the convention.

John C. Kendall, D irector of the University of New Hampshire E x­periment Station, is a member o f the committee on Experiment Station Or­ganization and Policy.

his senior year he was a first lieu­tenant and quartermaster in the Uni­versity regiment.

At Eugene he has been an ardent supporter o f the University o f Ore­gon, with which Dean Albert N. French was connected before he came here. He is a member o f the Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite, Shrine, Elks, Odd Fellows Lodge, Rotary Club, and Chamber o f Commerce. He is also a member o f the official board o f stew­ards o f the First Methodist Episcopal Church, and also of the Eugene Coun­try Club and Golf Club.

Mr. W ilder’s home is at 2137 Uni­versity Street. He has two children attending the public schools o f that

, city.

Fair and unprejudiced opinion, which in the realm of college sports is ordinarily quite lacking, seems to be evident in the sports editorial of the most recent Boston University Beanpot. The Beanpot’s Sports Edi­tor makes the follow ing comments on the 0-0 tie game between Boston Uni­versity and New Hampshire early in the season:

“ According to current opinion, the Terriers should have beaten the wild­cats of the University o f New Hamp­shire. That may be right, but we think not. Furthermore, we know that the Scarlet and White aggrega­tion was mighty lucky to grab off even a scoreless tie, and when we say that, we’re thinking especially of that certain play where Mr. Winkler, right half back for the Granite-staters, scooped up a loose ball and started on a jaunt for what should have been a winning touchdown. To this day we have been unable to figure out how A1 Spitzer ever caught said gentle­man and thus averted a score. But catch him A1 did, and thereby squelched New Hampshire’s last scor­ing thrust.

The Scarlet and White showed power and punch in the second tilt of the season though Terrier rooters are inclined to criticize their inability to stick over a couple o f touchdowns, after lengthy drives down the field. Bear in mind, however, that the pow­erful New Hampshire line, with its back to the last chalkmark, was play­ing great defensive football. The Terrier runners were working as hard as previously. It was not a case of the Terrier running attack slumping but rather of the New Hampshire line rising to great heights. That’s a logical angle.”

A squad o f 25 men reported to Coach Swasey last Friday afternoon for the first basketball practice this season. The large squad included 15 forwards, 4 centers, and 6 guards. It is very likely that Coach Swasey will build up his team for this year around j

the nucleus o f four lettermen from | last year who a re : Patch and C lem -; ent, forw ards; Small, center; and; Stovlosky, guard. Other men with i

some experience on varsity squads j are; Smith, Wile and Dawson who are trying out fo r forwards, and Gar- lock who plays guard. Pridham, Jablonowski, Horrigan, Foster and Hagstrom who played for the Fresh­men last year are expected to make strong bids for varsity berths. Prid­ham and Jablonowski are forwards; Foster and Horrigan are guards; and Hagstrom is a center. Three other varsity candidates who show promise are Calahan, Campana, and Averka who starred for their respective teams in the intramural basketball tourna­ment. The first cut will be made about January 5, according to Coach Swasey. The squad will then prob­ably be thinned down to three full teams

There are to be two newcomers on the schedule this year, Amherst and Williams. The game with Williams will be played at Williamstown at the time of their winter carnival. Plans are being made to have Harvard at Durham on February 16, the date for our winter carnival, and to have the University o f Maine here on March 9, the date for the finals o f the an­nual Interscholastic Basketball tour­nament. The schedule:

Northeastern at Durham. Connecticut at Storrs.

Springfield at Durham. Amherst at Amherst. W illiams at Williamstown. Boston University at Bos­ton.

Providence College at Prov­idence.

Tufts at Medford.Harvard at Durham. Norwich at Durham.Mass. Aggies at Durham. M. I. T. at Durham.Maine at Durham.Brown at Durham.

INSTRUCTOR TO ADDRESSORGANIZATION IN EXETER

On Monday evening, November 26, at eight P. M., Mr. Paul Schoedinger will address the Parent-Teachers’ A s­sociation o f Exeter at the School Street school. His suibject will be “ Literature For Young People.” Mr. Schoedinger is an instructor in the University, and is well-known as an interesting and thoughtful speaker.

He will give his audience in Exeter a few points on guides to reading, and the importance o f literature for young people. Mr. Schoedinger has given many such interesting talks and will undoubtedly furnish his listeners with plenty of food fo r thought. A full attendance is expected to hear the message of Mr. Schoedinger.

Mask and D agger’s presentation of Sheridan’s famous old comedy, “ The Rivals,” marked the opening o f the society’s sixth year since it was re­organized under Professor William G. Hennessy. It is safe to say that the production easily maintained the standard o f dramatic excellence which has become almost traditional on the campus and, in addition, it uncovered a new actor to Durham audiences who did as fine a piece o f work as any in recent years here. George Lynch ’30 in the part o f “ Sir Lucius O’Trigger” gave an interpretation to the part which would have done credit to a seasoned professional.

Lynch was not by any means, how­ever, the only shining light o f the production, for Charlotte Hirschner ’29 as “ Mrs. Malaprop,” Paul Kirvan ’29 as “ Captain Absolute,” Avis Hen­ning ’31 as “ Lydia Languish,” and A r­thur Somers ’29 as “ Sir Anthony” all were excellent. They were old stars to Mask and Dagger devotees and their work consequently came as no surprise. They were expected to live up to the marks they had set in the past and they did not disappoint. K ir­van in particular showed a marked improvement over his work in “ Adam and Eva” last spring, due undoubted­ly to increased experience, and did the best bit of acting that any leading man has done here in recent years. His interpretation of the part showed intelligence as well as perfect ease and stage presence.

Charlotte Hirschner in the “ fa t” but difficult role o f “ Mrs. Malaprop” was as good as she was in “ Dear Bru­tus” as “ A lice” which is the highest praise we could possibly give her. Somers, as the irritable and gruff father, did fine work during most of his time on the stage and Miss Hen­ning, an old trouper although only a sophomore, was a fetching “ Lydia” who was a perfect complement to Kirvan in appearance as well as in dramatic ability.

We cannot speak too highly of Lynch’s work, perhaps because he came as a surprise to all, since, al­though a member o f the junior class, he has never acted in Durham before. His brogue was perfect for the part,

In a pamphlet recently issued from the office of the registrar a series of interesting statistics, which have been very carefully tabulated, show some impressive facts directly concerning the students o f the University. These pamphlets are fo r distribution among various members o f the faculty.

Registration statistics appear on the first page o f the report which shows at a glance the number o f stu­dents enrolled in each course giving separate columns to men and women. This is followed by a page on geo­graphical distribution o f students. Am ong other outstanding tabulations there is a summary o f the various occupations o f the fathers o f stu­dents, list o f students entering the University with advanced standing, list o f relatives o f freshmen in at­tendance or who have attended New Hampshire and college training o f freshman parents.

The ages o f students in the Fresh­man Class as shown by this table of statistics range all the way from sixteen to thirty-one years fo r men and from seventeen to twenty-two years for women coming from within this state. Out o f state man students range from seventeen to twenty-one years while the out o f state women students all fall between the ages of seventeen and twenty. The average age o f the New Hampshire Univer­sity man of the Freshman Class is eighteen and eight-tenths years while the women’s average is an even eight­een. The fact that the average age of the Dartmouth freshmen this year is eighteen years offers an interesting comparison.

There are many other interesting features o f this pamphlet which tell at a glance most o f the statistical ob­servations o f the registration office.

be in a publication originating in his own immediate vicinity than in so much o f the trash which is being cir­culated from outside sources.

Yours for improvement,A Progressive Senior.

To the Editor:In reply to the complaint o f some

dissatisfied member of this Univer­sity concerning the programs offered at Convocation, we wish to express our opinion, and as we believe, the opinion o f the m ajority o f the stu­dents o f this University.

We must remember that there are many students at these Convocations, and that their individual opinions of a good topic and a good presentation of that topic vary to a great extent. Although there are a few that do not enjoy certain Convocations, there are many more that do. There are many students at the University who do not appreciate Convocation merely be­cause it is compulsory. W ould the levying o f a tax of ten cents on such students increase or decrease their interest ?

As we understand, the true aim of Convocation is to present the topics of the day. Are not such topics worth while, educational, constructive, and even sometimes amusing?

We want the ideals of this Uni­versity to be raised, and one o f the best ways to accomplish this end is to follow the directions and abide by the decisions of those who, by their experience and training, are better qualified to direct us.

“ Joleda.”

It seems unfortunate that in a Uni­versity as large as New Hampshire is growing to be that a better attend­ance cannot be expected than favored two o f the three performances of “ The Rivals” this week. The spirit o f the student body as regards the university shows a marked improve­ment over that o f last year insofar as supporting the football team is con­cerned, but we still seem to lack a proper interest and appreciation for some things which should mean much to us as University men and women

The lecture by Dr. Minot last week sponsored by Book and Scroll was reasonably well-attended, although the preponderance o f townspeople and faculty members present did not speak well for the students even in that instance. The lack of support given to “ The Rivals” by the students is inexcusable in a supposedly cul­tured class o f people. The play is a classic and should be known and loved by all educated people. When a chance is presented to see it well- acted and staged as was the case here this week, there is no reason why any student in any college o f the institu­tion should ignore it.

The fact that the play was present­ed here five years ago may account fo r the absence o f some o f the towns­people, but it is no excuse fo r the students. Neither can the Brown game be advanced as a possible cause for non-attendance, since Friday night, the evening immediately pre­ceding the game, produced a full house. Even with all seats sold out for three performances only two-thirds o f the student body could possibly see the play. Two performances played to partially filled houses means that most o f us are shirking what is noth­ing less than a duty to ourselves as well as to the University. The de­plorable state o f mind evidenced in this connection really portrays the attitude o f many o f us here supposed­ly seeking a “ higher education.”

FROM OUR MAIL BOXNovember 19, 1928

To the Editor:W e wish to extend our most sin­

cere thanks to those o f the Student Body who contributed towards the good cause of sending our band to Brown. The cooperation of the Blue Key and Social Committees in their offering to donate the needed sum over that received in Convocation does credit to these organizations and is heartily appreciated. An organiza­tion o f this type is effective when it is benefiting the University; let’s see some o f the inactive clubs and or­ganizations follow the example set by these tw o groups and thereby attain some prestige on the campus.

The Student Council

To the Editor:Now that another year is well un­

der w ay I feel the need fo r a good comic magazine exceedingly press­ing. There is a place on this campus for such a publication and I feel sure that the student body would whole­heartedly support such a project. Hardly a campus is without its bit o f humor and New Hampshire, rapidly becoming rated with the large insti­tutions o f the world, has no valid reason fo r being behind in such a movement. The poet who said, “ Laughter makes the world go round” has stated the case exactly. A bit o f humor can carry a serious mood over a long period o f strain, and how much more interested a student could

To the Editor:Afternoon bridge, impromptu fra ­

ternity meetings, the vacant hour be­fore supper, long afternoon and eve­ning ram bles; then it is we hear the never ending, always fascinating tale which some one heard about some one else. Deeply engrossed in studying, we easily bring ourselves back to hear what the room-mate has rushed in to tell us about a mutual friend, or, better still, a mutual enemy.

Too often has an interesting dis­cussion o f generalities been terminat­ed by becoming specific, and our argu­ments being applied to an acquaint­ance. Faculty discussing each other, and students; students discussing each other, and faculty, with a liberal amount of town topics thrown in for spice; this is one o f the most disgust­ing and degrading habits which Uni­versity students can adopt.

It shows that we are intolerant, narrow-minded, egotistical and have but secondary interest in the high events o f life.

We who gossip are intolerant be­cause we condemn hastily and judge without tria l; we make no careful in­quiries, but simply snatch at the con­clusion and hug the details we have gleaned from questionable sources.

We are narrow-minded because we fail to appreciate a situation other than that which is fam iliar to us. We claim to be unbiased, boast that no unconventionality would phase us, yet we meet each other with, “ Youknow Bill told me that-------and I don’tdoubt it a bit, she’s just the type.” do it, you do it, and have we any ex­cuse? I could understand it i f one were wedged in a small town, w h ere the inhabitants exist but never live. But we who have so many and so varied interests, so much beauty, so many amazing and checkered friend­ships to en joy; to thus toss these aside as i f they were o f no account, in order to talk of some one else’ s affairs, with an “ interested” observer, seems both absurd and shameful. It places us fa r below the ordinary and unfortunate gossip because he has no other interest while we are ignoring many.

The recent election, which a few in­telligent people were interested in ; books, biography, fiction, poetry; in­vention and science; aviation, ath­letics and countless other topics should have for us more than a pass­ing interest.

Is it because we are o f lower intel­lect that we find more entertainment in a discussion of the advisability o f converting a shawl into a frock, than in reading aloud, to the same group, Thornton W ilder or Stephen Benet, and then talking o f the views and ideas of these men, or is it simply that our minds are as yet immature, un­developed?

I devoutly hope it is the latter, for in that case there is a faint chance that we might yet grow up and act our ages. A t the rate we are pro­gressing now we will all merit the lash o f Countee Cullen’s pen, which writes as an Epitaph for a Mouthy P erson :“ God and Satan still are wrangling

Which shall have him, which repell. God wants no discord in His Heaven;

Satan has enough in Hell.

E. S. and E. F.Looie reported seeing a dog cross

ON OTHER CAMPUSES

Sousa is at present composing a march which will be dedicated to the University o f Illinois. (IP )

Plans have been completed fo r the removal o f the University o f Penn­sylvania from the heart o f Philadel­phia to a site at Valley Forge. The new site is about twenty miles from its present location and not fa r from the historic battle ground. The move­ment has been under w ay fo r some time but the transfer is to be started within two years. (IP )

Incidentally, was that one o f the canines that invaded Convo last week in the quest o f higher learning? We might have warned him that that is the last place to look fo r it.

Plenty o f house dances this week­end. It ’ll be one time when the co­eds get a break. W hat? Who made that wise-crack about carnival?

I wish three times and watch them go As far as I can see ;

Someday a gentle wind will blow My wishes back to me.

Exam schedules are out, we hear. Who says time doesn’t pass quickly? We hope the week of exams will pass as rapidly as the rest o f them— but we have our doubts.

“ The Rivals” was a good produc­tion and well acted; but, since we don’t need costumes to cover bow legs, we’d like a modern play and are glad “ The Dover Road” is scheduled for this winter.

Beloved.Do you know,That you are as the moon ? Ever glowing brightly Though afar.

Columbia University is the largest in the country and has an enrollment o f 35,000 students and 1,500 teach­ers.

The smallest college is Buena Vista, at Storm Lake, Iowa, which has 21 students and 16 teachers. We might venture to guess that one need work there to escape notice.

Harvard is the oldest University, W illiam and Mary is second in age and Yale is third. Their dates o f es­tablishment are 1636, 1693 and 1701, respectively.

Oberlin has the largest endowment of any college— $11,000,000, while Harvard has the largest of any class of educational institution— $32,000,- 000. (IP )

Pennsylvania State College has been much upset over the $8,000,000 bond issue which was voted upon last week. President Ralph D. Hetzel, form erly o f the University o f New Hampshire, used every effort to help the bill go through, but in the end it was defeated. (IP )

Say, Looie! I f you see several ex­cited groups about campus soon, don’t start arresting them for sedi­tion. It’s just people . talking about “ the house at pooh corner,” a. a. milne’s latest book.

Well Juniors, the question is— did your pictures flatter you or not? Well, whatdja expect?

Didn’t anyone sleep from the time they left Durham last week-end until they came back? Classes on Monday morning were pathetic. Everyone was trying to sleep and still look intelli­gent.

Y. W. C. A. NOTESMiss Edith Sanderson o f Brousa,

Turkey, one of the three young wom­en who were tried fo r unofficially teaching in Christianity in govern­ment schools and were acquitted, will be the speaker at the meeting o f the Y. W. C.

There has been much appreciation o f the work o f Colby Files for the W orld Fellowship Meeting in w iring and placing sockets and flashlight bulbs to mark the thirty-eight coun­tries o f the world in which Student Movements are active. It is hoped that this map may be used again so that the campus may see the extent of organizations maintained by stu­dents throughout the world.

Sunday Comic Strip Veterans to Visit Durham in the Cinema— McMan­us’ Characters Turned into Hil­

Dressier in Leads

Am erica’s funniest famous fam ily, the Jiggs of comic-strip renown, will bring their riotous squabbles and reconciliations to the Franklin Thea­tre Saturday when Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer presents them on the screen in a Cosmopolitan production, entitled “ Bringing Up Father.” It is a rol­licking comedy and brings to film audiences the popular female comedy team, Polly Moran and Marie Dress­ier, who are warranted to be even funnier in this picture than they were in “ The Callahans and the Murphys.”

The picture is a literal adaptation of George McManus’ famous car­toons. Polly Moran plays Maggie, the redoubtable w ife of Jiggs, and Marie Dressier takes the role o f Mrs. Dinty Moore. J. Farrell MacDonald, well-known character actor, is Jiggs. Gertrude Olmsted, who came to the screen by way o f a beauty contest, is the Jiggses’ beautiful daughter.

The picture is one long guffaw from beginning to end. It begins when the Jiggses, steerage passengers from old Dublin, arrive in America in company with the Dinty Moores, and, takes them up to the time they attempt to high hat their corn-beef- and-cabbage origin in their enter­tainment o f nobility at a Long Island show place. I f you don’t want to laugh till your sides hurt, better stay away from “ Bringing Up Father.”

Alumni Office, November 22— It’s been real pleasant to note the in­creased interest among the alumni clubs in the country. Old clubs which have gone into “ slow motion” fo r a period now are holding regular, en­thusiastic meetings attended by a live group o f alumni who are anxious to hear about and to work for New Hampshire. Keep it going, New Hampshire folks!

A good way to keep the interest running high, a good way to make your club o f service to your Alma Mater, a good way to satisfy that desire to contribute something o f value to New Hampshire is to under­take and see through to successful completion some worthwhile project which will benefit the university.

And now, we are asked to suggest some projects for the clubs to pro­mote. W e will cite a few instances o f club projects which were put across last year. All these projects were definite and valuable contributions to the university in some phase o f its work.

The Manchester Club ran a dance in that city on the occasion o f the an­nual game there with Connecticut and realized almost two hundred dol­lars which they turned over to the university to be the nucleus o f a Manchester Club Scholarship. This money is now being administered as a part o f the Student Loan Fund.

Th<* Concord (Club invited Mask and Dagger to come to Concord last year, as in past years, and in cooper­ation with another Concord organiza­tion showed the people o f Concord that New Hampshire produces the best in the dramatic art, and also sent more money to the university to be added to the Concord Scholarship Fund.

The Philadelphia Club, at the time o f the proposed visit o f the varsity relay team to the Penn Relays in that city, made the trip possible by a generous contribution to their ex­penses. The club also entertained the team during its stay in the Quak­er City. And then, the relay team won the championship o f the country in its class and showed Philadelphia one of the best college hurdlers in the country, Paul Toolin, ’28!

Other clubs entertained President Lewis during the year, held success­ful “ night before” rallies for athletic contests, and turned out to support the teams on the occasion o f visits to their localities. There are many ways to make contributions. One o f the best is to see that all your alumni friends and club members have paid their dues for the current year. Washington Alumni Entertain Prexy

Gunnar Michelson, ’26 and Edward R. Davis, ’27 should receive a great deal o f credit for “ rounding up” the alumni living in and near W ashing­ton, D. C., on the occasion o f their in­form al dinner with President Lewis last evening at the Arlington hotel in the capital. A small but interested group o f alumni turned out to greet the President. Doctor Lewis was in Washington to attend the sessions o f the Land Grant College Association.W o r c e s te r C lub E le c ts N e w O fficers

Alfred N. Graham, ’ 18 was elected President o f the W orcester Club at a meeting o f that group held in W or­cester, November 14. Mrs. Marion Mealy, ’19 was elected vice-president and Paul Farrar, ’26 was elected to serve as the club secretary. Thirty- five members and guests turned out for the first meeting o f the year. The club voted to form four teams to col­lect the alumni dues for the current year. A fter the business session ad­journed the members and guests en­joyed bridge.

Refreshments consisting o f dough­nuts, cheese, cake and coffee rounded out a most successful gathering o f the alumni in the heart of Massa­chusetts. The meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Gra­ham.

Addresses Grafton County Poultry Meeting at Plymouth— Says, “ E gg

President Lewis Preaches Twice

Speaks to Manchester and Peterboro Congregations

Morning Sermon in Manchester on “ Christian Citizenship” — Evening

Address in Peterboro on “ The W ay to Keep the Young People

Interested in the Church and a Religious Life”

President Edward M. Lewis preach­ed in Manchester last Sunday morn­ing and in Peterboro Sunday eve­ning.

President Lewis accepted an in­vitation extended to him by the Rev. W allace W. Anderson, pastor o f the Franklin Street Congregational Church at Manchester to address his congregation, at the Sunday morning service held last Sunday. President Lewis in his sermon stressed the point of “ Christian Citizenship.”

Sunday evening President Lewis ad­dressed the audience at the Unitarian Church at Peterboro. This was a union meeting of all the Protestant churches in Peterboro. A t this time President Lewis talked on “ The W ay in which to keep the young people in­terested in the Church and a religious life.”

Following the meeting Sunday eve­ning at Peterboro, the President left for Washington, D. C., where he was to attend the thirty-third meeting of The National Association o f State Universities and the forty-second an­nual convention o f the association o f Land-Grant Colleges and Universities.

Two members of the university faculty gave talks at the Grafton county poultry} meeting in Plymouth Monday.

“ E gg production is a matter o f food consumption,” said Prof. T. B. Charles, head of the university poul­try department.

“ The only way I know how to tell whether or not a flock o f birds is losing weight is to weigh them. I doubt if any poultryman is judge enough to definitely know if his flock is losing two ounces or so per month by simply handling them. If birds lose weight for several months you are headed fo r trouble. My advice is to leg band a few of the birds, say 1 per cent, o f them and weigh them once a month.

“ The use o f lights and moist mash are ways for increasing food con­sumption at this time o f year. I f you are to get eggs your birds must be active, they must be riding the mash hoppers a good share o f the time. You can’t make money from a flock o f lazy hens.”

Professor Charles did not recom­mend any particular feed, he rather emphasized the quantity of feed con­sumed. He said, “ Hold to the things that you have that are good and that have made money fo r you, and add the things that you feel w ill be a benefit to you.

“ Some men have difficulty because they are too susceptible to salesmen. One man comes along and you change to his feed, then another comes along who is a little better salesman and you change again, and as a result o f the frequent changes your flock does nothing. Choose a good reliable feed and then don’t change every new moon. Successful poultrymen do not all feed alike, but they have a system that works for them.”

Mr. McGettigan, extension poultry­man, spoke on the Home E gg Laying contest. “ The Home E gg Laying contest records,” said Mr. McGetti­gan, “ show that the average egg pro­duction fo r October for the last three years has increased from 6.8 eggs per bird in 1926 to 8.7 eggs per bird in 1928. This means more profit for our poultrymen as eggs in October and November are worth much more than in June, July, August and Sep­tember. To make eggs when the price is high should be the aim o f the good poultrymen. Do not be scared for fear everybody will do it because it doesn’t work that way.

OTIS REVEALS FARM SECRETS TO BANKERS

Shows Inefficiency o f Cow and Hen- New Hampshire Average Produc­

tion Above That o f Country as a Whole

Efficient dairying in New Hamp­shire could reduce the number of dairy cows in the state by 30,000 and still produce as much milk, stated D. H. Otis, director of the National Banker-Farmer Commission, at a meeting at the State University Nov. 13.

“ The average cow in the state gives only 4231 pounds,” he said, “ and while this is above the national pro­duction o f 3549 pounds, there is no reason why 7000 pounds cannot be reached. This, we find in cow testing work, is the minimum amount from which a profit may be taken; and the cost o f keeping good cows is but little more than for the boarders.

“ In egg production per hen, too, New Hampshire with 81 is above the average o f 56 a year. Flocks that have been carefully culled by exten­sion specialists throughout the coun­try maintain an average o f 135 eggs. Should all flocks reach even this de­gree o f efficiency the number o f hens needed fo r the same egg production

The results o f the fifth annual Judging contest which was held on Homecoming Day were announced to­day by Frederick W. Taylor, Dean of the College of Agriculture at the Uni­versity of New Hampshire. The Sweepstake Cup, which was to go to the school having the highest total number of points, was captured by Walpole High School, Walpole, N. H. In addition to this cup, five smaller silver trophy cups were awarded to the schools winning first place in each o f the five different divisions of the judging contest, while prize ribbons were presented to the students rank­ing first, second, and third in each o f the contests. The cups were- pro­vided by the New Hampshire D airy­men’s Association, the New Hamp­shire Poultry Growers’ Association, and by individuals in some o f the agricultural departments. These con­tests were started in 1924, and have created great interest throughout the state. Eighty-seven students and coaches from the various high schools took advantage o f this opportunity to visit the State University. Meals and lodging were provided by the Univer­sity free o f charge.

Ten schools of the state took part in the contests. These were as fo l­lows:

Alton High School, A lton ; Austin- Cate Academy, Center Strafford; Coes Academy, Northwood; Hopkin- ton High School, Contoocook; Hollis High School, Hollis; Pinkerton Acad emy, D erry; Simonds High School, W arner; Thayer High School, W in­chester; Walpole High School, W al­pole; Weare High School, Weare.

INDUSTRIAL MEETING ADOPTS ETHICS CODE

Conference o f Colleges and Industry Adopts Code o f Ethics for Betterment o f Conditions Relating to Em ploy­ment o f Engineering Graduates— O f

Special Interest to Eng. Students

A t a recent Industrial Conference o f representatives o f the colleges and industry held at Pennsylvania State College, a code o f Ethics fo r govern­ing the relations o f those concerned with engineering graduates was adopted. This code was drafted by a committee o f which Mr. C. S. Coler o f the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company Education Department is chairman. The code is o f special interest to engineering stu­dents and is as follow s:

IN GEN ERAL: (1) Both the edu­cator and the employer should con­sider as o f first importance the inter­est of the student as a prospective citizen, and as a prospective member o f the engineering profession. (2) Every effort should be made to de­velop that understanding between the engineering schools and industries, which is necessary fo r intelligent cooperation.

THE EM PLOYING COM PANY SHOULD: (1) Furnish full and not too optimistic information regarding working conditions, opportunities, and rate o f advancement. (2) Select only the number o f graduates required ac­cording to a careful estimate o f con­ditions. (3) A llow student reason­able time after employment oppor­tunities are presented to become fam i­liar with other opportunities before making a decision. (4) Act promptly on all applications. (5) Secure the consent o f the student to any con­templated change in the employment agreement. (6) Not employ a stu­dent known to have entered into an employment agreement with another, unless consent o f other has been ob­tained by student. (7) Avoid pre­judicing student against the oppor­tunities afforded by other companies. (8) Provide opportunities which will enable each graduate to develop his latent possibilities to his own advan­tage as well as to the advantage o f his company and o f society.

THE ENGINEERING SCHOOL SHOULD: (1) Not accept fees fo r continued instruction o f students who obviously will not later qualify for engineering work. (2) Supply un­biased information and advice regard­ing the various opportunities for em­ployment. (3) Not hamper the stu­dent in his freedom of choice in em­ployment. (4) Not refer employment possibilities to the employed graduate, except upon his application, nor at­tempt to separate the graduate from his employment without first having taken the matter up with his em­ployer.

THE G RADUATE ENGINEER SHOULD: (1) Supply full and cor­rect information regarding his exper­ience and background. (2) Accept only one position at a time. (3) Se­cure the consent of the employer be­fore changing the employment agree­ment. (4) Not accept training in a special training course, with the in­tention o f using it in the interest of another, without the consent of the employer.

POTATO CONTEST WON BY WALPOLE FARMER

Charles Holton W ins With Yield Of 379 Bushels An Acre— Fred Peas-

lee, A New Hampshire Grad, Places Third

Seven of the 21 contestants aiming at entrance into the New Hampshire 300 bushel potato club reached their goal this year. Charles B. Holton, who farms at Walpole, receives the silver loving cup offered by the Mer­rimack Farm ers’ Exchange to the con­testant obtaining the largest yield of potatoes to the acre. His yield o f 379 bushels, however, was second to Charles A. Pearl’s 389 bushels. Mr. Pearl’s entrance in the contest was not filed until two weeks after the closing date o f July 1 which made him ineligible for the prize under the rules drawn up by the Exchange and the University o f New Hampshire Extension Service.

Fred W. Peaslee, o f Lancaster, New Hampshire alumnus and form er cap­tain of cross country, placed third with 355 bushels, A . J. Marshall o f Northumberland fourth, 346 bushels; James Monahan,I o f East Kingston fifth, 317 bushels; F. V. Land o f North Haverill, sixth with 309 bushels; and Carl Converse, seventh, with 306 bushels.

Yields of potatoes throughout the state are lower this year than last be­cause of the continued hot weather during the part o f the growing season when the tubers set, according to F. S. Prince, agronomist, in charge o f the contest. Last year eleven members made the club and the yields were consistently higher; Burton A. Cor­bett o f Colebrook dug 504 bushels and Mr. Holton, 499.

All entrants who attain membership in the club each year are awarded^ a silver medal in the shape of a minia­ture potato by the Extension Service. The medal, which may be used as a watch fob, is inscribed with the grow ­er’s name, county and date on one side and the inscription “ New Hamp­shire Three Hundred Bushel Potato Club” on the other.

Of the seven growers who made the club this year, only four are new members. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Holton, and Mr. Pearl joined last year.

TO INTERPRET RULES BY BASKETBALL GAME

State Officials to Hold Demonstration Game at New Hampshire for the

Purpose o f Clearing up Diffi­cult Points

An interpretation demonstration of basketball rules will be presented at the gymnasium on December 4 at 7.30 p. m. by the State Basketball Officials’ Association with members o f the Varsity basketball squad making up the two teams. Basketball coaches throughout the state will be invited to attend this meeting. It is expected that Mr. Oswald Tower, a member of the rules committee and editor o f the basketball rules book, will be present and act as official interpreter on all questions asked by the coaches or players. This is an excellent oppor­tunity for those students who plan to do officiating this winter to gain offi­cial inform ation on any doubtful point in the rules and also fo r the student body as a whole to learn the rules so as to be able to know why fouls are called on our team. No admission will be charged but a sec­tion o f the bleachers will be reserved for visiting coaches and teams. This program is being staged in coopera­tion with the State Basketball Offi­cials’ Association and it is hoped that it will become an annual affair.

NEW YORK AND OHIO TRIPFOR ALUM NI SECRETARY

Leaving on December second for Schenectady, New York and Cleveland, Ohio, Edward Blewett, Alumni Secre­tary, will make the most extensive trip ever undertaken by a secretary o f the New Hampshire Alumni A sso­ciation. Mr. Blewett will visit Union College at Schenectady and the alumni there after which he will be the guest o f the New Hampshire alumni. Later Mr. Blewett will attend a meeting o f the Eastern New York Club.

On the follow ing day he will jour­ney to Cleveland. Mr. Blewett will address a gathering o f the Ohio alum­ni on Tuesday evening, December fourth.

Both clubs are sharing the ex­penses o f the trip and are preparing entertainments for Mr. Blewett. Mr. Blewett is arranging for a longer trip which will be taken some time later in the year.

COMBINED GLEE CLUBS TOSING CHRISTM AS CAROLS

Preparations fo r the annual Christ­mas Carol Service at the Community Church, Thursday and Friday even­ings, December 6 and 7, having been completed, the combined men’s and women’s glee clubs are hard at work in the expectation o f making this year’s service the best ever.

The first program was given in 1923, when Professor Manton came to the University. The first service delighted its audience, and every year since then the Glee Clubs have repeatedly rendered good Christmas programs.

Joint rehearsals are being held once or twice each week at the Community House. I f the sounds emanating from that building on rehearsal nights are any indication o f the final performance, the audience is in fo r a real treat.

SURPRISE BRIDGE PARTYEXPOSES AN ENGAGEMENT

The engagement o f Louise Sprague ’29 to Raymond Danforth ’28, both of Concord, was announced at a surprise bridge party held at the Chi Omega House last Wednesday evening. The surprise came when, in the course of dealing the first hand, a “ fake” two o f hearts bearing the names of the engaged couple was discovered.

The guests were the members of the Chi Omega sorority and friends including the Misses M arjorie Dahl- berg, Alice Spinney, Martha Carl, Gwen Jones, Elizabeth Sawyer, and Mrs. Carl Lundholm and Mrs. Rena Kramer.

The first prize was won by Shirley Putnam ’29. Miss Sprague was pre­sented with bouquets o f roses from her mother and her fiance, and a pair o f linen towels from Mrs. Kramer in whose name the party was given. Refreshments, consisting of chicken a la King and coffee, were served.

Miss Sprague has been prominent on the campus since her freshman year. She is president o f the Chi Omega sorority, a member o f Cap and Gown, the honorary senior women’s society, a member o f the W. A. A., a delegate to Pan-Hellenic, and Inter­collegiate editor of T h e N e w H a m p ­s h ir e .

Mr. Danforth was also prominent in the campus life of the college, being president o f the Y. M. C. A., a member o f the University glee club, and a member o f the Theta Upsilon Omega fraternity.

DR. LATIM ER ANNOUNCESFRUIT SHOW TO BE HELD

Dr. L. P. Latimer, Professor of Horticulture in the Agricultural Col­lege, announces a Fruit show in Mor­rill hall Monday, Tuesday, and W ed­nesday forenoons of next week. The show has become an annual affair in Durham for the last few years.

Fruit from all parts o f the United States is included in the exhibition, as well as that grown by the univer­sity ’s agricultural department. It will be of more than passing interest to the agricultural students, in addition to the people who are interested in a general broadening of knowledge.

A brief history o f the Department o f Sociology at the University of New Hampshire was recently com­piled by a member o f the depart­ment. The author tells how the de­partment has advanced from its be­ginning first in Philosophy and sec­ond in Psychology, how it was es­tablished in 1911 under the leader­ship of Ernest R. Groves, as the De­partment o f Sociology, and how it has developed to its present state. The story in detail, as told in the writer’s own words, is as follow s:

“ I am confident that the beginnings of Sociology at this University can be traced to the influence o f Ernest R. Groves, whose, name first appeared in the catalogue of 1908-09 as Pro­fessor o f English and Philosophy. The Department o f philosophy includ­ed Pedagogy and Psychology. Profes­sor Groves, as a pioneer followed Professor Harrison, who previously headed up these lines o f work. In 1910-11 the catalogue indicates that the duties o f Professor Groves were expanded to include the duties of Secretary o f the Faculty. In 1911-12 the catalogue records a change in his title, to Professor o f Psychology and Sociology, English having been as­signed to the leadership o f Professor E. J. Davis. In the catalogue o f this year, 1911-12, the work in the De­partment o f Psychology was reor­ganized to include Social Psychology along with Introductory Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Advanc­ed Psychology, each a semester in length. The Department o f Sociol­ogy contained the follow ing offering: Sociology I, The History o f Educa­tional Theory, devoted to a study of Comenius, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Froe- bel, Spencer, and Herbart; SociologyII, Primitive Society; Sociology III, Social Pathology and Modern Phil­anthropy; Sociology IV, Advanced So­ciology, each course on a semester basis.

In 1912-13 shows an expansion in two lines o f work, semester courses entitled respectively, “ Mental D efec­tives” and “ American Race Prob­lems.” In 1914-15 the Department o f Psychology shows an expansion in a course entitled “ Psychology o f the Abnormal Mind,” also a semester course. The Department o f Sociology shows (1914-15) an expansion in the direction o f Rural Sociology stress­ing Rural Ethnology, Rural Psychol­ogy, Rural Social Pathology, and Ru­ral Progress, and planned especially for Agricultural seniors. The cata­logue o f 1915-16 shows a development in Social Ethics which first made its appearance in the Department of Philosophy and Pedagogy under Dean Groves in 1909-10. Professor Groves surrendered part o f the work in Psy­chology to Professor Simmers, ac­cording to the catalogue o f 1916-17 but retained Social Psychology for the Department o f Sociology, which still rem a in s a se m e ste r co u rse . S u ch matters stood until 1920-21 when Dean Groves, as he was known from 1916 on reorganized the work in the Department and offered the follow ing courses: 3a Poverty, 4b Crime, 5c Ru­ral Community Sociology, 9a Ancient Altruism, 6b Modern Altruism, 7c An Introduction to General Sociology, and 8c Sociological Research, each on a term rather than a semester basis. This program however was not car­ried out since Dean Groves resigned his position and was succeeded by Albert N. French, who took upon himself the duties of Dean o f the College o f Arts and Science and Head o f the Department of Sociology.

“ The work o f 1920-21 as reorgan­ized included a freshman course in Social Science and provided fo r the cooperation o f the Department o f History, Economics, and o f Sociology. Four instructors representing these three departments gave a two term course in Social Science la , and 2b, “ An Introduction to the Social Sci­ences.” They stressed the main fac­tors of social problems such as popu­lation, geographic, biologic, genetic, hygienic, economic, political, histori­cal, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, re­ligious and associative influences. The Department o f Sociology as such continued the work in Principles, A p­plied Sociology, including Rural So­ciology, continued Social Psychology, and added Educational Sociology and Genetic or Comparative Sociology. In 1923-24 the course was added entitled “ Social Ethics,” common to earlier catalogues. The catalogue o f 1924-25 carries the innovation of organizing the work in the Department o f So­ciology more strictly along pedagogi­cal lines. The freshman work in So­cial Science in 1921 was expanded to

i a. three term course and this work was preliminary to the subjects or­ganized under Group A, common to the sophomore year which included Principles of Sociology and Rural So­ciology. The work in Rural Sociology was kept on an elementary plane to make it possible for this work to be elected without prerequisites by A g - gricultural students. Group B or secondary subjects included Social Psychology, Educational Sociology, Primitive Culture, Social Change, So­cial Ethics, and Social Theory. Group C, advanced subjects included courses in Sociological research, Social Am e­lioration, Population problems, Meth­ods of Investigation, each a term course. In 1925-26 the catalogue con­tained subjects primarily for gradu-

O f Athletic Department at Ban­quet Held in Commons

At the recent annual meeting o f the United States Eastern Ski Association held in Berlin, the dates for the vari­ous winter carnivals to be held in eastern winter sport centers were definitely announced. The W inter Carnival at Dartmouth will take place February 8, 9, and 10; that at the University on February 15 and 16; that of the Nansen Club at Berlin on the same dates; and that o f the Bellows Falls Club on February 16 and 17.

This was the first year that the University has been represented at this meeting. G. Lloyd Atwood, President o f the Student Council, was sent to this meeting especially with the purpose of making an application fo r membership into the association. Since the University of New Hamp­shire is the only institution in the East where winter sports are under control o f the Department o f Ath­letics, it has not before been a mem­ber of the National Ski Association.

The officers o f the association for the ensuing year were elected with a vice-president to represent each state. The officers elected were as fo l­lows: President, Dr. Elmer of Ver­mont; First Vice-President, W arner of Massachusetts and Connecticut; Second Vice-President, Brown of New Hampshire; Maine Vice-President, W. G. Hicks of Maine; New York Vice-President, Deal; Vice-President at Large, Hicks o f Lake Placid. The main purpose in having each state represented by a vice-president was to furnish a means of creating more interest throughout.

Appropriations are received from each club in order to provide fo r the expenses o f those in the Eastern or­ganization participating in national competition outside this area.

The University o f New Hampshire has been given the use of any o f the Dartmouth Outing Club Cabins at any time by applying for same to Mr. Saunders.

A copy o f the Constitution and By- Laws o f the University o f New Hampshire Outing Club is to be sent to the Secretary of the Eastern Am er­ican Ski Association. The 1929 E. A. S. A. championships will take place at Rumford, Maine, February 18, 19, and 20; and the 1930 championships at Claremont, New Hampshire, dates as yet undecided.

The University o f New Hampshire has hitherto been very strong and successful in winter sports and boasts of having had three 'mternational Championship teams. New Hamp­shire has won the Marshal Foch tro­phy three times and has also won the W arren G. Harding Cup.

Frank C. Dustin, ’29, o f Penacook, Captain of the University Winter Sports team for this year, is also President o f the Inter-Collegiate Winter Sports Union. Ernest O. Ped­erson, outstanding ski-jumper at the University last winter, is expected to repeat his performance this year and help New Hampshire towards victory once more.

Head Coach W illiam H. Cowell of the University football squad an­nounced Monday that assistant Coach “ A l” Miller has completed his work with the squad and is to leave the University this week.

Coach Cowell also stated that he was very fortunate in being able to secure the services of this form er Harvard athlete and that he consid­ered his coaching has been a great help to the squad this fall.

The Athletic Department was host to the entire squad and coaching staff at a banquet held in the Univer­sity Commons last Monday evening. Line Coach Ernest Christensen was toastmaster and impromptu speeches were made by the coaches and the senior members o f the squad. A t the banquet many o f the speakers ex­pressed their gratitude for the ser­vices o f Backfield Coach Miller.

The University o f New Hampshire closed its 1928 football season with a 20-0 defeat Saturday when the W ild­cats showed themselves no match for the powerful, Cornsweet-led Brown team. New Hampshire was more than a match fo r the second and third string Bears, but when Coach Tuss M cLaughry sent his varsity in the Granite Staters were powerless. The Brown regulars were sent on the field on two occasions, once in the sec­ond quarter to score where the sec­onds had failed, and again in the last period to defend their goal line when the visitors threatened with a thirty- five yard drive.

The second string Bruins started the game and played into the second quarter, but they could not penetrate the New Hampshire defense, al­though on one occasion they advanced as far as the ten yard line. Then the varsity was called off the bench.

Sunflowers mixed with silage corn was tried a few years ago by dairy­men in the southern part o f the state to get added weight fo r winter feed and at the same time to reduce the acreage needed to provide the silage. However, this mixture is not as sat­isfactory as it was thought it would prove, according to G. L. Waugh, of the University Extension Service.

If one may judge by the decreas­ing number o f men who have used the sunflower silage corn mixture, the combination has not been sat­isfactory. The sunflowers have added to the weight o f the silage per acre, but the difficulty of using a harvester on the crop and the fact that the tie on the handles is too low for a top-heavy plant like a sun­flower, have caused many to go back to straight corn for succulent feed.

The most common cause o f trouble has been with the necessity for fre ­quent stopping o f the harvester to untangle the sunflowers which have tipped over sideways or forward away from the bundle. The bundles are so out of balance that it takes two men to handle them in loading, and the field work slows down in consequence.

Original trials of sunflowers were made in the west where corn was a gamble or entirely impossible dueA forward, Fogarty to Marsan, net

EDGAR H. BURROUGHS ’10PROM INENT AS ENGINEER

Edgar H. Burroughs, ’10, vice pres­ident o f the Ambursen Construction Company and the Ambursen Dam Company o f New York and San Fran­cisco, has been appointed Engineering Manager in charge o f all engineering of both companies. The concerns have important engineering and construc­tion contracts in the east and west, including one for a high Ambursen Dam over 1,000 feet long fo r the United States Reclamation Service near Willows, California.

Another prominent project under construction is a three million dollar Ambursen dam of the latest improved design for the Mexican government at Tjuana, Mexico. This will be the largest reinforced concrete dam ever built. It will be 255 feet high and 2,500 feet long.

ate students including three term s’ work in Social Amelioration, Popula­tion Problems, three terms, Advanced Psychology and Sociology, including instruction in statistical methods as well as advanced study in Social The­ory and Social Philosophy. The com ­plete offering in 1927-28 briefly sum­marized includes Introduction to So­cial Science fo r freshmen, under the management o f the Department o f Sociology but still recognizing the need o f a live department, such as History, Political Science, Economics, Psychology, and Education. The sophomore work includes Principles of Sociology, the parallel course to Social Theory. The work o f the ju ­nior and senior years includes two terms’ work in Social Psychology; one term ’s work in Man and Culture of Man and Civilization, including some Anthropology as well as a study of social origins. A term ’s work each in Social Dynamics, Social Am eliora­tion, Social Ethics, Industrial So­ciology, Rural Sociology, Educational Sociology. The opportunity fo r work in the graduate field in sociological and professional research is some­what limited due to the problems o f numbers in undergraduate work.”

ence. Madeline Patten ’29 as “ Julia Melville” fulfilled the promise given by her work last spring and proved to her audiences that she could do much with a big part. Her voice had per­haps the nearest to professional qual­ity o f any o f the cast.

The work o f the remainder o f the cast which included Howard George ’30 as “ David,” James Wilson ’30 as “ Faukland,” James McLellan ’32 as “ F ag ,” Monroe Walker ’31 as “ Thomas” and Joseph Terry ’30 as the boy was well done and promised well for coming productions. McLel­lan in particular, who has the dis­tinction of being the only freshman chosen for the play, was very good and should make a name fo r himself on the campus before graduation. Terry had only three lines, but was one of the hits o f the production.

In the settings Mask and Dagger made a very effective use of drapes in several scenes and the one o f Mrs. Malaprop’s lodgings was particularly pleasing. The scenes showed that no time or money had been spared in at­taining as near to perfection as is possible on an amateur stage and that the production staff did work of a calibre easily comparable with that o f the cast.

The production as a whole showed the results o f excellent direction and painstaking striving after a high standard and Professor Hennessy well deserves the congratulations which he has received.

Rehearsals for the winter term pro­duction of Mask and Dagger are to start within the next two weeks ac­cording to Gertrude Nye ’29, secre­tary o f the organization, who stated that the production would probably be produced in several o f the larger cities o f the state as has been the custom in Concord in past years. The play selected is A. A. Milne’s “ The Dover Road,” a production which has proved its worth on the professional stage and which is worthy o f the au­thor of “ Mr. Pym Passes By” and the creator o f “ Pooh.”

Although the cast is not yet o f­ficially selected for “ The Dover Road,” Professor Hennessy stated that many form er stars will probably appear in the play, among them William Nel­son ’30, Dorothy Jones ’30, Elisabeth Bauer ’29 and John Fleming ’29.

W. A. A. NOTES

The W. A. A. ushers in the basket­ball season next week by sponsoring an Inter-house Basketball tournament with the four dormitories, the three sorority houses, and the commuters taking part. There will be no prac­tices for preparation and the periods of play will be short. The officials will be students.

goal line for the second touchdown. Gurll, quarter, received the punt and ran it back to New Hampshire’s 28 yard mark. A forw ard to Edes made 19 more yards, and then Gurll took the ball over on a reversed end run that the W ildcats seemed not to notice. A fter this the visitors opened up and ploughed through the Brunos on a series of end runs and overheads that took them to the Brown 19 yard stripe. This drive called the Brown first string on the field as a unit, and the Blue and White advance was halted in four more yards. Marsan tore around left end for 45 yards, and Cornsweet followed him up with an­other that brought 25 yards before he was downed. Two line plunges brought the ball within nine yards of the goal, and an offside penalty against New Hampshire advanced it to four. A line plunge by Cornsweet put it over.

Although this year’s team has been no world beater, it has shown a com­plete reversal o f form from last sea­son and has given a good account of itself in every game. The team has lost but two games, those to two o f the strongest teams in New England and has held three other strong teams scoreless. In the opening game the Wildcats defeated Colby 12-7. The next was a scoreless tie with B. U., which was followed up with the 12-0 defeat o f Rhode Island. Maine was the first outfit to defeat the Blue and White, doing so by a single touch­down, 7-0. Springfield was defeated 6-0, and the follow ing week New Hampshire upset all the dope by playing 0-0 with T u fts; this score was repeated in the Homecoming game with Connecticut. Brown ad­ministered the only serious defeat when they totaled 20 points against the W ildcats’ none. Due to the three 0-0 ties the total score is low, show­ing 30 points fo r New Hampshire against 34 for the opponents.

Coach Cowell has developed a wealth o f coming material from the lower classes for future years. H ag­strom, Grenier, and Ryder should all develop into first-class ends. Clapp, Ronald, Perkins, and Robinson as tackles, and Bianchi, W right, and Theodos as guards should build up an impregnable line with a little more experience. In the backfield there are Grenier, Kelley, Shea, Cook, Winkler, Small and Nelson, all o f whom are able ball carriers and have shown talent this season. Altogether, with strength coming in from the 1932 team prospects fo r the future look anything but dull.

with early frosts, sunflowers may have a place. For the man who can get corn every year, the addition o f sunflowers is hardly worth the ad­ded labor which must be spent at har­vest time.

Speaking o f the cow testing asso­ciations, Mr. Waugh recently said that:

“ The 300 percent increase in two years in the number of cows enrolled in the six active cow testing associa­tions of the state, indicates the fee l­ing o f confidence which dairymen now bring to their business. W e now have 144 herds on test and 98 o f them have been added since January 1. An as­sociation is available to dairymen in almost every milk producing section of the state.

“ Members receive three pronounc­ed benefits from the association. Un­profitable cows may be weeded out quickly; by regulating the grain sup­ply to the milk production, more eco­nomical feeding may be practiced; and an opportunity is given to check on the ability o f pedigreed bulls to trans­mit to their daughters the qualities necessary for high production.”

In the United States there are 1,100 associations enrolling less than one percent of the 20,000,000 cows in the country. In New Hampshire, how­ever, 3,016 or 3.7 percent o f all cows are enrolled. Germany, with 10,- 000,000 cows has 2,600 cow testing associations.

H ARRIERS SECOND IN N. E. (Continued from Page 1.)

The order in which the New Hamp­shire men finished is as follow s: third, Benedict; fourth, Howard; seventh, Hazen; eighth, Cahalan; 31st, Kasian; and 32d, Richardson. Hazen and Cahalan were tied for seventh place, but Hazen was given the edge over Cahalan. Kasian and Richard­son were also in tie for the 31st place, but the judges’ decision was in favor o f Kasian.

The freshman team won their race, which makes the third successive time that the freshmen have won the New Englands. Cote, of New Hamp­shire, finished first, with Ginter of Holy Cross second, Gunning o f Maine third, and Cole and Whitten, both o f Bates, fourth and fifth.

Only five teams, 37 hill and dalers, competed in the freshman race. New Hampshire finished runners in first, ninth, 10th, 14th, and 19th places to win first honors with 53 points; while Maine placed men in third, seventh, 11th, 12th, and 29th to come in sec­ond, with 62 points. Bates was third with 66 points, Tech, fourth, with 74, and Holy Cross, fifth, with 80.

In the freshman chase Cote set the pace from the start and he was never headed. Ginter o f Holy Cross worked up in the closing miles to take second. The order in which the New Hampshire freshman finished is as follow s: first, Cote; ninth, C. M. Smith; 10th, Chase; 14th, Noyes; 19th, O’Neille; 21st, Mitchell; 26th, E. Smith; 28th, Perley; 30th, Mott.

The New Hampshire Cross Country teams have entered the last five New England Inter-Collegiates and are credited with four wins. In 1924 the varsity took third place, while there was no freshman team entered. In 1925 the varsity were ninth and the freshman second. Both the varsity and the freshman won in 1926. Last year the varsity was third and the freshman finished first.
