D r e x e l T r ia n a ie Sides and Angles o f Drexel News VOL 19 PHILADELPHIA, PA., NOVEMBER 20, 1942 D T h ru th e W e e k • A.S.C.E. Charles Scheffey, vice president of ihe Drexel Chapter A.S.C.E., spoke al the Novemlter 12 meeting of the society. His topic was the (Jeorge Washington suspension Bridge in New York. Decenilter 3, tlie society \\ill liave a meeting entirely u nder liie direction of the ju n io r class. All civil engineers are cordially invited. In fo rm a lity prominen' as the cast for “5/oge Door” goes through an eleventh hour rehearsal. S t a g e D o o r O il T o n ig h t F a d ra In L e A lp h a B la n c , B ill H o ffm a n P s i-R o u g e P ro d u c tio n ; G o o d a n d S ta r R o b e C ast S u p p o rts Tonight and tomorrow night, November 20 and 21, Drexel’s chapter of Alpha Psi Omega in collaboration with Rouge and Robe will present the hit play “Stage Door.” Written by Edna Ferber and George Kauffman the show ran two years on Broadway. Four years ago the play was produced for Tech’s student body and the reception was so enthusiastic a repeat performance was indicated. W ith a cast of over twenty-five Rouge and R ohers coached by Mrs. Leanna Chase this production should be even b elter than the one before. Stage m anagem ent is u n d er the guid ance of Charles Steffy. T he leading roles will be taken by F adra Le Blanc and Bill HolTnian, with Mary Lyons, Eleanor Beyer, Je rry Faust, Alice Minnich, Lee Robinson, Alvina Gilling ham, Marvin Uonsky, K athryn Bow man, G ertru d e Wilson, and Jean Moran. K athie Macool will again die for Alpha Psi in the part of Kay, the frustrated actress. The plot revolves a round Mrs. Orcutt’s boarding house full of actresses, near-actresses, and just stage-struck women. How they meet, daily prob lems of casting, men, parts, and just life provide m om ents of pathos, hil arity, and dram a. W hen the curtain rises tonight it will be on a cast well sprinkled with seasoned actors and supported by well-, trained newcomers. Tickets are 40c and may be purchased from any m em ber of the cast or at the door on either niglu. After the sli,ow there will be dancing in the Court until 12:00 m idnight. S o ld ie r s K its B e h in d Utility kits were the subject of many conversations a n d the concern of sev eral Red Cross m em bers this week. The drive, to obtain articles to fill 50 such kits, has progressed un d er the direction of V irginia Solenberger, pro duction chairm an. Each m em ber of Sigma O m icron P i has pledged to make and fill one kit bag. The branch wislies to express its appreciation for this pledge. E nthusiasm such as this is very m uch n eeded to make the drive a success. Articles have been coming in to lhat “ intriguing box” in the Court. However, in o rd e r to have the fifty prom ised boys prep ared by January 1st, it will be necessary to speed up this income. At present, the com mit tee announced, there is a need for thirty-nine packages of writing paper, <lve pencils, twenty cakes of soap (preferably Lifebuoy or P alm olive). Tlie quota of chewing gum has been ulnained and no m ore will be needed. Neither will it be necessary to bring in shoelaces; the committee will p u r chase these with contributions from Drexel associations. Unless this de ficiency m ade up this week, the K I T S on pane 3 " F r o s h W ill A tte n d P la y The freshman class will open its social season this Friday evening with a theater party and dance. This will be the first parly sponsored by the freshman class as a unit since the other parties al the beginning of the term were sponsored by the school alum ni or “Y” with the freshmen as the honored guests. The festivities are to include at tendance at “Stage Door,” in the au ditorium , followed by a recording dance in the Student Building. Re freshments will be served at the dance. Admission to the show dance and a share in the refreshments are all free and may be obtained by all frosh upon presentation of a class dues card. This is a continuation of an idea started last year when the sophomores instigated Soph Nile. The plan was very successful for both the sopho mores and the Rouge and Robe, who presented the play. Chairman Harry H ark er is planning the decorations and refreshments to cope with the large crowd expected. Both men and women freshmen are expected to come out to support Bill Holfman and Fadra Le Blanc, who have the leads in the play. Those at tending are assured a good show, a dance and refreshments all to be paid for from the class treasury. • A.I.E.E. At the Drexel Brancli A.I.E.E. m eet ing Nov. 10 Mr. Phelps, of the P h ila delphia Electric Co., spoke on elec trocution. Mr. Phelps presented an interesting and informative talk on the subject and the work that the Bell Telephone laboratory has done along that line. A sound film from the U nderw riters laboratory showing the testing of building material and electrical ap pliances was also on the program. Professor Lange and Mr. M iddle ton, of the P hiladelphia section of A.I.E.E., were at the meeting to wel come about thirty undergraduates. Tlie next meeting at the end of this m onth will be an all-student m eet ing. The feature of the evening will be a talk by T ed Sopp on radium and radon. • AJSM.E. The Drexel Branch A.S.M.E. is in the midst of a m em bership drive. Forty-seven m em bers is the present m ark. The society hopes to pass the h u n d red m ark before the end of tliis term. The chapter is having a parly at the Drexel Lodge on D ecember 4th, which promises to be a gala fiesta. • Drexelterians Dot Dickson is the girl to see if you are in the m arket for a good meal. The D rexellerian Society bene fited from her genius at the meeting held Thursday, N ovem ber 12. W orship service followed, reaching a new high in the society’s history. Candlelight and a piclure of Jesus talking with the fishermen ended in transform ing Room B into a chapel. An illustrated talk on the “H is tory of Art in the C hurch” was given tracing the growth and decay of the great artists of the past to the present day. On December 2, the next meeting will be held, featuring the Brill sis ters. Tliey will discuss the “History of Music in tl»e Church.” Bulletin Board Up P erhaps the more observant student has noticed the new bulletin board in the Court posting the events of the week. It is a great im provem ent over the form er board due to its increase in size. The announcem ent from the Dean of W om en’s office requested tluit any one who wants scheduled meetings or social events posted on this board must report them to Miss M eader in the Dean of Men’s office. These notices must be reported on Monday of the week it is to be posted. Tlie only revisions m ade on the board after Monday afternoon will be lastm inute cancellalion. C an ^She^PassA n E s q u ir e E x a m ? The following article from the October issue of “Esquire” is re with permission of the editors: She may be a honey at a prom or the races, God’s gift to a stymied senior, a weekend wonder. But how will she rate when the chips are down and you can’l go back to the boys and books? Every college man should ask himself this question; it’s important as the quantum theory, vital as Mendel’s law. For him Ed. S. Woodhead has prepared a matrimonial s(;oring lable in the October Esquire and all you need to do is answer the questions and draw your own conclusions. p rin te d Naturally it’s best not to have the little woman back seat drive while you’re checking off her plusses and minuses on this Esquire chart. If certain parts of her personality are a d dress unknown to you, score ’em zero till time writes the figures. Above all, be personal. This table is adjusted for you and you alone, so don’t let the boys in the back room befuddle you. After the bells, you’ll be paying the bills, so the goods had belter be worth ’em. _ Esquire rules com panionship iwa points out of a possible 500. But if you go for other values, re-adju»t the scale a c c o rd in g ly - k n o c k it down. Under the com panionship heading come the qualities of consideration, fun, loyalty, tolerance, good cheer, etc. Here especially you want to play down the Casanova in you. Be clini cal. Don’t give the gal top rating for consideration if she only turns it on for you. If she beats her little brother or nags the dog, d rop her—bul quick. Then, of course, th ere’s inlelligeiice, which the au th o r rates 90; but if you believe in b ird brains, skip this. Sub heads allocate 10 points for such vir tues as talent, bookiness, and critical E X A M on page 4 No. 7 r e x e l G e t s S c r a p ; T o I n t o S a lv a g e S t a r t T o m t h e D r iv e o r r o w Tliis war has cITected ev(Mv American home in one way or another. One of the ways is in the search for unused materials vital in an all out war effort. W. S. G. A. sets up the program for our Drexel home by (irst introducing to all organizations a pledge of economy. A copy of this pledge is published and acknowledgnient to all organizations who signed this pledge are made by the listing of them. The past week a drive for old silk «tockings was promoted and is to be culminated al the half of the Johns Hopkins’ game when upi)erclass women and frosh women will see which can make the longe>it rope of knotted stock ings starting with the goalposts. It is the aim to make both ends meet at the opposite ends of the field. Bring as many stockings to the game as you have. Fashion dictates cotton and lisle for the duration— civilian defence urges gi\ing up old silk and nylon. I’here is but one answer. Scrap it! At the game to morrow the women will scrap for Drexel for defense. They challenge the men of the Blue Dragon to _____________________________________ ShopEarly Christmas shopping is, or soon will be, in full swing. An allraclive, in expensive gift would lie a l)ox of personalized stationery. T he Y.W.C..A. will be selling this paper for $1.25 in the Court where selections may be m ade from the sample book. In order to have the paper in tim e for Cin-islmas, it will be necessary to place all orders liefore December 1st. This drive is being sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. to raise funds. It will be conducted by a committee headed by Grace Willis and Helen H u tch in son. E conom y P la n n e d In an attem pt to coordinate a p ro gram of war-time economy th ro u g h out all organizations in Drexel, the W om en’s Student Governm ent Associ ation issued, a few weeks ago, its Pledge of Economy. Copies of this pledge were sent to all organizations and clubs in Drexel to be voted on and signed. Acknowledgments from W.S.G.A. now go to the following list of organizations who liave re lu m e d th eir signed pledges as evidence of tiieir intention to cut down wherever possible: W.S.G.A., M en’s Student Council, W omen’s .Senior Class, Men’s Senior (Uass, W omen’s Ju n io r Class, Men’s Ju n io r Class, W om en’s Sophomore (Mass, W om en’s F reshm en Class, Lexerd. T r ia n g l e , Technical Journal, Inler-fralernity Council, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Pi Kappa Piii, Kappa P h i Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Omicron Pi, A.I.Ch.E., Hom e Economics Association, Retail ers’ Club, Pi Tau Sigma, Gold Key, Eta Kappa Nu, Com m uters’ Club, Glee Club, Jewish Student Association, and the Y.W.C.A. Furnishing the proof of the m ean ing of this pledge WSGA in their last m eeting sliced iheir budget in two. This was done by elim inating the chasms whicii are annually given to each executive board m em ber and officer and dorm itory board m em ber serving WSGA. T he substitute for these tokens of service will be en cased war stamps bearing on the back the engraving of W.S.G.A. and put on a key chain. The saving nears $50.00. T he significance of the key has not been renioved bul rather intensified by the sacrifice. Colonel liioding to Bevlew State’s B OTC Ll. Colonel E. C. Coding, Com m an d an t of the Drexel Military De p artm ent, will journey to P en n Stale next week to review the infantry unit of the college ROTC. T his is the a n n ual ad m inistration and training in spection of the senior division of the ROTC, which will lake place on Mon day, the 23rd, and Tuesday, 24th, al State College. T he .Signal Corps unit of the col lege will be inspected by Colonel J. J. Grace, of the Signal Corps, Balti m ore, Maryland. Colonel Coding, who recently took the post at Drexel, has had thirty-six years of m ilitary experience, six of which were spent at the University of A kron an d five at llie Schofield Bar racks in Hawaii. T h ir d C la s s T o E n r o ll Drexel Institute of Technology will accept its third freshman engineering class of the year on January 29, 1943; and its second in the Schools of Busi ness Adm inistration and H om e Eco nomics, according to an announcem ent by George P. Rea, President of the College. The freshman engineering enroll ment of the college is now 42% higher than last year, a class having been accepted in Ju n e and one in Septem ber, 1942, un d er Drexel’s accelerated program. The opportunity to begin college study in engineering in January af fords an especial opportunity for students who will be graduated from high school at that time, while the need for engineers and scientists in the arm ed forces, and the fact that the more training a man has in these fields, the m ore valuable he will be wiien he enters the service, are factors in the increasing n u m b er of students entering engineering colleges. At Drexel, which trains electrical, chem i cal, civil and m echanical engineers, in(|uiries about mechanical engineer ing continue to lead, as they have since the beginning of the war. Start in Mid-Year Mid-year high school graduates will also be interested in the opportunity to begin college training at once, through the proposed Jan u ary enroll ment, in ihe secretarial courses of the School of Business A dm inistration, and in the study of dietetics in the School of Home Economics—two fields in which there are shortages of trained personnel. Students entering Drexel in Ja n u ary will be able to accelerate their programs, w hether enrolled in the en gineering, business, or hom e eco nomics school. At the same time, through the cooperative plan in each school, they will be earning money, contributing their services to the war effort, and will be securing for th em selves a technical college education of great value now' and after the war. B ou rse I n it ia t e s Climaxing the fall activities, the Drexel Bourse will hold its annual Fall D inner al the H otel Ritlenhouse on N ovem ber 24. President Rea will be the guest at this dinner. Professor McMullan and others who are h o n orary m em bers will be present. A D.I.T. graduate of the class of 1937, A lbert Fitzgerald, will address the group. His discussion of a busi ness topic of current interest will be appropriate. Al now has a responsible position in the cost accounting de partm en t of RCA-Victor. Form al initiation of all new m em bers will be conducted by Dean Wagenseller. T he new' members are: W il liam Spare, Walter D udra, W arren Brosius, William Watson, F rank Car ter, Alfred Giess, and R obert Briarly. At the last Bourse meeting these new' m em bers were informally initi aled: Thom as Murphy, retiring president, will tu rn over the affairs of the so ciety to Pete Halas. T h e new vicepresident is J o h n E. Hall, 111, the new treasurer Is Curtis Deurdorff, the new secretary is C. H ayden Jameson. These new' officers were elected and installed on Wednesday, N ovem ber 4. scrap for Drexel for defense of our goalposts against Johns Hopkins. ('.limaxed by A ssem bly On November 24 a student-wide As sembly will he held to climax the student scrap. Miss Jayne Pryse and Dr. Sones will give th eir plans for .Slu-B-Ben Dance on D ecember 4. All proceeds of the scrap drive and the dance plus chancing off a 825.00 bond will be turned over to the Student Building ('om niittee to fix up the recreation room in the basement for the use of service men. On Sunday starling winter term our Student Building will be open to m en in the service. Sororities and any other o r ganization at school in the m ood w'ill act as hostesses of these m en in the fixed-up recreation room. The' classes will form committees to fix up this room with the proceeds of the drive after December 6 to make it ready for winter term. Next at the As sembly. a picture of interest to a scrap-minded audience will be shown. Flippy Merrell will then present the organization plan to be followed d u r ing the d riv e; m aterials needed, chair men of each, Stu-B-Ben—Polly Tallm a n ; chairm an of bond chances, Anna May S hutts; chairm an of publicity, S C R A P on page 4 C ampus alendar MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1942 I2-I P.M.—Student Bldg.—Lutherans. 3-5 P.M.—A uditorium —Orchestra. 7:30 P.M.—Student Bldg.—J.S.A.

Having convinced the Brown School that they could do no more for him, he attended Wm. H. Hunter School in preparation for en trance to Northeast High School. Stars at Northeast Bob had things u n d er control at Northeast. He was elected president of his class as a ju n io r and senior, president of the Student Council, and honor man in his graduating class. Athletically Bob used the experience gained on the sandlots of K ensington to win a regular guard post on N o rth east. city football champions of 1937. Baseball, soccer, and basketball helped take up the slack in his spare time. A college of hard knocks known as the Ligiithouse A.

A p p o in te d to Navy Drexel almost lost its future w ho’s whoer when Bob won an appointm ent to Annapolis in competitive exam i nations immediately following his graduation from Northeast.

The unpredictable Drexel Dragons trounced Susquehanna College 19-0 last Saturday at Drexel F'ield. The Blue and Gold eleven played some of the best ball they have played all year, and managed to come back with a strong second half for the first time this year. The victory came as sweet wine to the Dragons who have been six time losers this season. The game was played in zero weather, which cut the usual home crowd down to a great extent. The Dragons started off fast. They kicked to the Crusaders, who G a ls L o s e To B e a rs S parked by a hard-fighting backfield, the Dragonettes played th eir best game of the season on Tuesday at Ursinus. A lthough they were on the., short en d of a 6-0 score, the girls never once stopped fighting. Such a score is n o t indicative of the type of game waged between the girls’ hockey teams of D rexel and Ursinus. Ursinus was rated over D rexel by a large p e r centage, especially since they placed three girls on the All-Collegiate squad. T heir center forw ard took that respec tive b e rth on the All-Collegiate first team, w hile th e ir left inner and cen ter half placed on the second team. That is a good record for any one team an d a h a rd com bination to beat. Captain Ollie W aterbury, Margaret Cook, an d U rsula Paolone were the girls who p ep p ed up D rexel’s team and kept u p the girls’ morale. Cap tain W aterbury was outstanding and acclaimed by b o th teams as the best player on the field. If a fast game is indicative of a good game then this was it. T he play was from one en d of the field to the other an d from side to side. Good pick-ups on high balls and hard drives kept the action fast, bu t our forward line co u ldn’t get th eir passes through the Bears’ secondary, and when they got th ro u g h they d id n ’t click. Our girls were handicapped by a new com b ination due to a shift in the line-up because of the illness of Bobbie Butterworth, our center half. “ Cookie played h er position for the first time and d id a bang-up of a job.

G a ls P a r tic ip a te The Drexel sailors closed th eir sail ing season last Sunday when they journeyed to the Corinthian Yacht Club at Essington, Pa., to defeat Haverford College in a close regatta, 29% points to 28%. Each team won three races of the six-race regatta, which began at 11 o’clock Saturday m orning and con tinued imtil nightfall. Each race around the triangular course consisted of two twelve-foot penguin class sail boats for each team. A skipper and a crewmate comprised the crew for each team. George Darby, comm odore of the Dragon’s sailing club, was high scorer with 14% points, taking three first and one th ird place. Lud Richards, A1 Glass, and Bob Rickards were the supporting skippers of the Drexel team. Adding color and interest to the regatta were the quartet of fair Drexel crewmates, T erry Engel, Mickey Fisch, Jean Yerkes, and PollyTallman. The girls alternated with the various skippers in the six races, weathering the cold N ovem ber breeze in true seamanship fashion. First race— 1, Darby, D rexel; 2, Richards, Drexel; 3, Bushnell, Haverford; 4, Hopkins, Haverford, disquali fied, hit m arker.

W ith due apologies to the thousands of Theta Chi m en who have swamped this colum n’s office with letters of indignation regarding the e rro r in last week’s write-up, this column would like to take this opportunity to ex plain that the Theta Chi-Kappa Phi Delta game which was rep o rted last week to have been cancelled and implayed to date, has been played and won by Theta Chi to the tune of 360 . The game had been cancelled, but was played at a later date and ap parently passed u n reported. W ith this u n rep o rted victory, Theta Chi had only to win their final game to tie the Apple Pies for the championship. Theta Chi did just that by walloping P i K appa P hi, 18-0. The Pi K a p ’s showed the stuff they had to go through the season w ith but one p re vious loss by holding Theta Chi to a scoreless deadlock at the half. The second half, however, showed the stuff which Theta Chi had to plow u n d e feated through the tough I.F. com petition when Jo h n n y Kessler threw one of his deadly passes to Bill Kleinbach for the first score a few minutes after the second-half kickoff. The Theta Chi’s had evidently solved the Pi K ap ’s pass defense for Kessler’s passes found th eir m ark time and again, with Bob R yall an d R alp h Good m aking good on two m ore for tallies to finish the game’s scoring at 18-0. Lambda Chi Alpha won th eir only game of the season by blanking Kappa P h i Delta, 14-0. Both teams were striving for th eir season’s first points in I.F. com petition and were intending to use this final game as a means of salvaging something out of the cur rent season. A1 Chescavage broke the ice for Lambda Chi Alpha when he scooped up a fum bled lateral near the K appa P h i Delta goal line to score the first touchdown. A few m inutes before Lambda Chi had scored its first points when Dave Mynich, of the Kappa P h i D elt’s, was caught behind his own goal line for a safety. The final Lamlida Chi tally came in the second half when a K appa P h i Delt fumble was recovered on the D elt’s 10-yard line. H ere after three pass plays had failed, Dick Sasin ran aro u n d right end after feinting a pass an d suddenly finding a clear field to the fore to score the final touchdown. Final score, 14-0. Theta Chi and Alpha P i Lambda are at present tied for the league lead. T he date for the championship play off is undecided, but it seems very likely that the game will be played on Tuesday, Novem ber 24, at 4:00 p. m.

Wills was quite disconsolate last week when Doc P en n el told him he w ouldn’t be able to play for the rest of the season because of his broken finger. He d id n ’t give up, though, an d m anaged to talk the Doc into letting him play, even though it m eant the finger might be in ju re d to a m ore serious degree. So—hats off to a hard, earnest ball player ^vho plays the game, not for the glory he can obtain, but just for the sheer enjoym ent he gets out of participating in the sport. That Scalp • Well, kiddies, the boys finally came through with a victory, and a welldeserved one it was, too. T he group of rugged Dragon fans th at ventured out to W ind Bowl last Saturday saw an overwhelming Drexel victory by a team that finally realized its potential power and began to use it to its own advantage. O ur ends, Carl Naschold, N orm Parniet, and Art Hawkins, played a splendid defensive game, and the speedy Susquehanna back, Isaacs, never stood a chance to get off on one of his long ru n s thro u g h a bro k en field. His interference was “d u m p ed ” each time and he usually w ound up with a loss. On the offense. Wills Burrowes and Bill K leinfelder lore big holes in the Susquehanna line on the off-tackle slants. In fact, everything seemed to click last Saturday and the tricky T-formations were never stopped. Things seemed to go wrong all season long but the fates finally relented and Drexel battled its way into the win column. I can still rem em b er Marsh “ P rid e of the South” Austin’s plea at the Gettysburg fracas: “H ow can I go hom e and explain tlie second retreat from G ettysburg?” By the way, Marsh knows quite a few of the boys from tlie Hopkins “Shanty-town” team who play us tomorrow.

Hopkins tied Susquehanna, while the Repscha men soundly th u m p ed the Crusaders in achieving th eir first victory of the season last week. T w o Men Out The Drexel squad was further de pleted wlien it was announced that P oehlm ann and H arris would not be in uniform tomorrow. Poeh lm an n suf fered a broken wrist against Susquelianna while H arris tossed up a col lege career to become a naval cadet. This leaves Repscha with only W arren Brosius. H erb Beattie, Bob Clyde, Pete Halas, “ Buster” P ro p ert, Craig Smith, and R aym ore Greene to form a backfield. Of this group, Beattie is an unknown quantity. H erb suffered a torn shoulder muscle last week and lias been working out easily in prac tice. L ine Intact T he line which formed an uncrossable b arrier for Susquehanna’s backs remains intact and should be ready for action tomorrow. As is the case at the end of every football season, there are players who bid adieu to collegiate competition. Tomorrow’ Captain Irv Kun, Wills Burrowes an d Bob Clyde play th eir farewell game. Clyde Converted Kun and Burrowes are bulwarks of tlie Tech line and have steadied the inexperienced linem en who form ed the forward wall. Bob Clyde, the other m em ber of the trio, was con verted from guard to qu arterb ack to alleviate Repscha’s need for back field men. Clyde’s playing reached its liighest height against Susquehanna when his b rillian t selection of plays was directly responsible for T ech’s initial victory. T he Dragons are determ in ed to nuike their final appearance one that will leave an im pression up o n the stu dent body. T hough it’s a bit belated a resounding victory is eagerly awaited.

Easy on the Gas -Announcing that there may be a shortage of gas for civilian use, the Vi PB asks college students to go easy on the gas facilities of th eir institu tions. This means cutting down on the use of hot water by filling the basin for shaving or washing instead of let ting the water ru n freely. Hot water should be used sparingly in the, bath tub, and students are urged not to linger in the shower.
