After a few seasons of dormancy,
the tradition of student assemblies is
being revived by a few’ interested
students.
A gala jubilee entitled
“Drexel Daze” is now in preparation,
and on aliout March 1st the asseud>ly
will be staged.
The inspiration for this colorful
cavalcade came from Dottie Brown,
president of W.S.O.A., who with the
aid of several insistent assistant in­
spirators has planned the program.
Among these cooperating inspiratios
we have the “union.” Kuthavelz,
Hot»th. Van INanu-! and Heller, in co­
operation with Stan Tinney, Joe lieach
and Tom llealy.
I’he hazards of Drexel’s dazetl clelin4|uents will be shown in a straight
• orward expose »d' the faculty cluh.
The profs will no doubt oblige with
their classroitm quartet while Joe
Stude will go through his daily deeds,
from a Drexel (!»»urt Scene at
to
a uuitli classroom (with all the
angles). The Slutlent Huilding and u
Houge and Kobe Hehearsal will also
be staged.

(Iheyney explained that the proposals
were agreed upon as a result of ex­
perience gained from the original
League organizati(tns. Several illus­
trations were given of the success ol
the League’s negotiations and arbitra­
tions. Some ol the weaknesses ol the
League were reviewed as well as the
atlenqtt to ad<l strength and effective

this group is the Drexel Forum of
Student Opinion, to he known as the
Forum. It is tiie purpose of this
organization to afford students an op­
portunity to raise questions about any
phase of life at Drexel and an attempt
will he made to answer them through
the work of committees and by invit­
ing authorities on the subject in ques­
tion to participate in the discussions.
It is expected that this P'orum v\ill
.stimulate student interest and partici­
pation in extra-curricular activities.
Meetings will he held every two weeks
and all students, faculty members, and
mend ers of the Hoard of Trustees are
invited and urged to participate.
The original gr»uip of students v\ill
act as a contrcd group and will guide
the discussions into channels where
the maximum results may be obtained.
A chairman, vice-chairman, and secre­
tary were elected to head this group.
I'roblenis which should be of vital
interest to each and eveiy student
seeking an education here at Drexel
will be probe«l and a definite effort
will l:e made to (ind an answer to each
and every point that is tpiestionahle.
The value of a liberal as well as a
technical education is one of the
points which will be effectively
brought ()Ut. it is felt that the very
existence of an organization such as
the Korum is an indication that tiiis
need for finding solutions to prob­
lems al.ove and hevond the technical
ones encountered in the classroom has
l een felt hy active an«l interested stu­
dents.
Suggeste»l to|»ics for discussion in
the near future are:
1. The future of athletics at Drexel.
2. The two-hour activities period.

Fifteen of Drexel’s new Industrial
Scholarships thus far have been taken
by industry. Richard R. Hennett, Di­
rector of Public Relations, who is
presenting the plan to industry, has
rcport«;d tc» Dr. Robert (!. Disqiie, act­
ing president.
Those taking the new Industrial
Scholarships are:
Henry Disston il Sons, Inc., manu­
facturers of fine to(ds; two scholar­
ships a year until ten are being main­
tained annually.
Proi'tor ^ Schwartz. Inc., manufac­
turers of textile machinery; two schol­
arships.
Varnall-W aring (ionipany, manufac­
turers of steam plant equipment; two
scholarships.
Automatic Temperature (lontrol
Corp., manufacturers of controls, one
scholarship.
Scholarships taken by Henry Disston & Sons, Inc., and Proctor &
Schwartz will be on an industrial
relations basis, one of the two prin­
cipal features of the Industrial Schol­
arship Plan. Henry Disston & Sons,
Inc., will select the scholarship win­
ners from among employee’s sons and
daughters who meet Drexel’s scholas­
tic requirements; and Proctor &
Schwartz is selecting two of its em­
ployees.
'I'lie ^ arnall-Waring Company and
the Automatic Temperature Control
(]orp. havt^ requested Drexel to rt‘cruit its scholarship candidates from
the top fifth of high school senior
classes.
In aihlition to the scholarships al­
ready taken, the executive board of
the Metal Manufacturers Association
of Phila<lelphia considered Drexel’s
new Industrial Scholarship Plan at its
meeting last week. After approving
the plan, the board instructed ofli­
cers of the Association to so advise
its entire membership of more than
ir>() manufacturers in and near Phila­
delphia.
Included in the membership of the
Metal Manufacturers’ Association are
Haldwin Locomotive, the K. (i. Hudd
Company, American Pulley (^impaiiy,
J. (>. Hrill Company, (General Electric
Company, R.C.A. and the Dodge Steel
Company. The plan has been placed
before the chief executives of the
com|ianies mentioned, and decisions
are pending.

A h e a d
he dormant Drexel tradition is iinally being revived by a
new and progressive organization known as the Drexel
Forumoi Student Opinion.
In the past Drexel has been noted for capable administra­
tion a sympathetic and progressive faculty and a clear thinking,
hard working student body. Yet today some people who are
weary of the competition of life would have us believe that these
sterling qualities which make up a "top notch" educational in­
stitution have passed with the arrival of the War. Let us not be
influenced by the wlUy nilly propaganda of wishful thinkers who
visualize a land flowing with milk and honey where men no
longer work and fight for right, but all things good are presented
to them gratis. We will still have the inevitable struggle for
existence. We will still have the bitter and sometimes hopeless
fight for right. And it is the duty of Drexel to train us for the life
of greed and avarice, love and hate which we will soon enter
upon.
Drexel is not fading. We have only paused for a second
breath. The future is as we plan it for today and as we act
today. Capable administration still rests in the hands of the
actively interested trustees that we have. Perhaps the effects
of war and war nerves have been felt in faculty circles, but
ability and capacity are still there. Already action has been in­
itiated which will properly revive Drexel tradition. Further prog­
ress needs only a spur to action and a feeling of cooperation.
To provide this "spur to action" and "feeling of cooperation"
is the prime obfective of the Drexel Forum of Student Opinion.
Controversial issues which have so often given rise to petty bick­
erings will be clearly and honestly discussed. Student faculty
relationships, sometimes onthe verge of collapse, will be strength­
ened and welded in a bond of cooperalion lately hardly imag­
inable.
Such problems as the advisability of final examinations is
but a start in a campaign for a clearer understanding of Drexel's
position in training for the exigencies, of life. Professor Billings in
his letter to the Editor on final examinations, represents the fac­
ulty and their willingness to cooperate with a student movement
for an improved Drexel.
The lack of an athletic program, another pointed issue, is
badly in need of clarification. It is the hope and intent that the
Drexel Forumwill be instrumental in initiating a healthy, proqrressive and proper athletic program.
But this will only be the begixming, but an appropriate be­
ginning. It is the beginning that has been needed. Inertia has
been overcome and progress fromhere on will be easier.
Drexel has long felt the need for such an organization as the
Drexel Forumof Student Opinion, not only for the discussion of
controversial issues, but also to lend cooperation in ideas for
progress and plans for the future. It is sincerely hoped that the
Drexel Forumwill continue to plan for Drexel long after the sperm
of its existence has passed into the realmof memories.

Oh such fun! The air is buzzing

With “Hushing season” in full
swing the Kappas returned to
the custom of the “smoker,” which
was held on Wednesday evening. Jan­
uary 17th. at 8 p.m., in the student

used throughout the history of edu­
cation at all levels of learning. I shall
mention some of the advantages which
appear most important for us at
Drexel Institute of Technology. The
final examination, and the immediate
preparation for it. is generally an es­
sential part of the education that the
course is designed to give. It’s the
only p<»rtion of the study that can
possibly bring the whole course into
focus. It induces a general review'
which shows the several topics in rela­
tion. presents an overall picture of
the su’ ject, and gives the key facts
and relations a chance to float to the
top.
Final examinati«ins serve an even
larger purpose in education for life.
Vi hen Socrates was asked the <|ueslion. “In what should the education
of a youth consist.” replied, “That
which when an adult he will do.”
The ability and capacity to master
completely some section of knowl­
edge, to assemble in the memory at
one time all the facts and details
bearing (»n a particular problem, to
think the matter through to the right
conclusion, to be able to convince
others that the conclusions are cor­
rect, constitute the most important
work that educated j)eople are called
up(.n to do. The tasks of the general,
the trial lawyer, the statesman (we
still have some), are notable in this
respect.
Allow me to take an illustration
from engineering practice. An engineer is assigned the job of investigat­
ing the merits of a proposed new
machine which is alleged to increase
production, reduce costs, and improve
•luahty. He first makes u study of
me process, prepares specifications,
invites proposals from several manu.
•aHurers of the e,,uipment. He must
study power requirements and auxiliaries necessary, phm locations and
l*.undatioiis, assemble comparative
••osls. Il'is may re<|uire months of
work.
ina ly a meeting is held, attended by the interested officers and
executives to take action on the reconiiiiendations of the engineer. He will
r\
‘•'•‘' ‘‘^-questioned,
lliat IS his examination day. If he
complaint was, “I didn’t know there
\vere to be elections.” Well, where
were you when the meeting was
called? So many complaints were
received that the Student Council de­
stroyed the ballots and made prepara­
tions for a new election to be held
this term.
The first week of this term a notice
was posted in the court, apologizing
for last term’s elections and calling
attention to new elections to be held
on January 22nd. THAT NOTICE
WAS IN THE COI RT FROM THE
FIRST WEEK OF THE TERM TO
THE DAY OF ELECTION.S, yet there
was not n full ballot. The office of
vice-president had no candidate, and
one chair in the Men’s A.A. Council
remains unfilled. Is that school spirit?
Is that class unity? NO! It almost
drives one to profane language.
May I call your attention to another
fact. Last year the Lexerd was late.
The last copies have just been dis­
tributed.
Everybody yells, “Why
haven’t I received my Lexerd yet?”
This term these very same “blues
singers” have an opportunity to cor­
rect this error and prevent it from
happening again. What are they do­
ing about it—nothing. Pictures are
late; activity cards are not handed in;
articles are not in on time. It is no
wonder that the Lexerd is not out on
time. The editor and staff are doing
all they can to get this year’s issue
out on time but it seems that the stu­
dent body in general is doing all it
can to prevent it—and yet they gripe!
Is that school spirit?
There are student organizations
which are in dire need of help but
what does the student body do—just
sits back and gripes, for that is the
way to get things done—OH, YEAH!
At present a few leaders are trying
to drum up business, and improve
conditions along the line of extra*
curricular activities, (iet behind these
few and give them your support.
Don’t let everything fall upon the
backs of a few students. They are
loaded up with enough to do. Pityli
in and help do your part, then we will
have real school support.

The Lambda ('hi’s held their rushinp smoker on January 15th during
^^hich Mr. McMullen gave the rushees
some very interesting information on
fraternities and the value of fraternity
life to the college students. Despite
the shortage of cigarettes, the brothers
were able to scrape some up for the
smoker, much to the surprise and joy
of the prospective pledges.
Don Williams, formerly of the Zeta
chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha at Penn

like those in the past, it is sure to be
a howling success.
• Sifima Omicron Pi
All sorors of Sigma Omicron Pi
braved the snowy weather and tra­
veled out to Jane Levy’s home for a
tea. Like Omicron Pi’s usual style,
no tea was served, but our sweet
tooth was satisfied by lots of goodies.
Thank you, Janie, for your efforts,
but we really didn’t want you to work
so hard that you’d fall.
The red roses, tied with little white
bows, seen at the Pan-Hellenic Tea
were pinned to Sigma Omicron Pi
girls.
Arrangements
were
made
by
Shirley Segal for a luncbeon-theatre
party last Saturday. This made it
possible for our members to see “Cen­
tral Park” right in the heart of Phil­
adelphia. All those present raved
about the play for hours, and all are
humming the catchy tunes from the
musical.
Kappa Phi Delt and Sigma Omicron
Pi are incorporative in a forum to
discuss some topic of the day. The
subject has as yet not teen decided.
Sigma Omicron Pi girls will soon
be sporting jewelled sorority pins. Jo
Ann Meyers and Glenna Sigel have
acted promptly on their suggestion
and the fruits of their labors will soon
be seen on the sweaters of all mem­
bers.
Plans are being laid for an even
more exciting lodge week-end. No
peace will be had at Drexel Lodge
during the week-end of February 2lth
and 25th when members and pledges
will have another super time that they
can look back to.
We can hardly wait for our Lodge
Weekend on February 2nd and 3rd.

Hello, all of you! Here we are,
better late than never.
e Theta
Sigs have been so-o-o busy that things
got ahead of your editor, and she
finds herself with the enormous job
of bringing everyone up to date
our doings.
That makes it sort of a June in
January situation. After all. we don't
want to burst right in on this winter
weather without a resume of the good
old summer time as spent by the
Theta Sigs. do we?
To put it briefly, we spread our­
selves over a large territory from June
to September. Some of us worked,
some of us played at resorts, some
of us came to Drexel every day. But
we maintained contact with each other
and twice went to the shore en masse
for ten days at a stretch. Wonderful
days and evenings with a carload of
laughs.
Events having A-1 priority on our
calendar these days are the Rushing
Party and ('.ard Party to be given by
Theta Sigma Upsilon. This time we
weren’t caught napping and have
planned a bang-up rush party with
oodles of fun for you freshmen (and
us. incidentally).
Prizes, refreshments, an interesting
partner, and good cards in your hand
(dealer, please cooperate!).
Latest Theta Sig Capers; Ruth Mil­
ler, the bridesmaid, catching a bridal
bouquet (promising). . . . Lenora Gal­
lagher seeing the Inquirer go to
press every ayem. . . . Terry Weidmann and Francie Donnelly in the

The interest of the audience was
immediately captured by Dr. Cheyney
when she stated during her introduc­
tory remarks that Drexel’s famed Rittenhouse clock was originally made
for one of her ancestors by David
Rittenhouse.
Dr. ('heyney’s background made her
a most competent speaker. She was
the American representative in the
International Labor oflTice at Geneva.
She is doing lecture work for the In­

Freshmen now are weighing the
advantages of each fraternity. “Where

selves. “What can I take with me to

give to me?”

possibly can to o! tain the men they
want. They must n«»w wait until Mon­

War stamps and bonds are on sale
in t!.e gaily decorated booth in the
court. In order that Drexel will do
its part in the war effort, the Vi .S.(i.A.
has requeste»l that each sorority sell
bonds and stamps in the court. Each
^orority will have the booth for »»ne
week.
During the past week the Alpha Sigs
have had cliarge of sales. Next week
another of the sororities will staff the
booth. The results of these sah*s are
reported to a meml er of the Phila.
Vi ar Bond Committee, so it is of
prime importance that D.I.T. make a
good showing.
In conjunction with the sales of
bonds and stamps each sorority lakes
its turn sponsoring the dance in the
Student Building during activities pe­
riod. Admission to these dances is
the purchase of a war stamp.

The Iota Nu ('.hapter of Alpha Psi

at
Inimaculata
(^tllege
presented the premiere of the all-girl
version of “(’areer Angel” on Janu­
ary 18. Two members of the Rouge
and Robe organization here at Drexel
ventured forth, despite bad weather
and transportation, to witness this per­
formance. The play originally called
for an all-male cast and had been
presented at the National Theater in
New York in I9U, but met with little
success. This was probably due to
the fact that the professional group
lost the main idea of the plot. Sister
Mary Donatus has re-arranged the
script, making it suitable for female
production and her versi«»n has been
acce|)ted by the author. The all-girl
version will be put into manuscript
form by the Dramatists Play Service
in New York and it is expected that
this female version will be uinisually
successful when it makes its next New
York appearance.
The Inimaculata cast did a magniiicent job under trying conditions and
is to be congratulated. The Drexel
representatives met members of the
cast and stage crew and found that
they are e«|ually as enthusiastic about
seeing Rouge and Ro’ e’s next prctduition, “Boy Meets (j’irl.” to be pre^ented here Mavcli *) and 1().

FOUL SH O T S V a r s it y
From what action that has been
taken up to now. it seems certain that
Drexel will have a settle.l athletic
policy after the war. A c»»mmittee
has been formed through the Faculty
A. \. ('.ouncil to investigate the va­
rious plans submitted by those inter­
ested in Diexel athletics and to recom­
mend a master plan which vsill eontain the principal points of all.
This action, however, delays the
process of installing the machinery of
a more progres'ive athletic pcdicy un­
til some time in the future. ]\ow is
the time to gel the ball ndling and
get set to run in high gear at the end
of the war.
Last fall it v>as brought before the
student body that the students and
the Alumni each had submitted pro­
posals on athletic policy. Mr. liudd
has for some time had before the
pre.-ent Athletic Council a jdan for
the advancement of Drexel’s athletics
in the right ilirection. As you will
see by reading the editorial on the
second page of the T rian(;i.k all three
i«leas were coordinate<l and channeled
to the Board of Trustees at the
Board’s recommendation. The Board
(seemingly friendly to the i>lansl has
yet to have the proposals presented
to it.
Admittedly we can launch no tre­
mendous program of athletic expan­
sion until the male enrollment in­
creases again to its peacetime number
and more nioiiey is available for
sporting endeavors. What v\e can do
now is reorganize and install a sport­
ing program vshich will serve as n
model and a basis for the inevitable
one which will serve the post-war
Drexel. Many lines have been writ­
ten in this paper concerning the need
for a Department of Physical Educa­
tion and Athletics under which physi­
cal education and athletics, varsity
and intra-nuiral. would be combined.
Much has been said about the need
f«»r greater student representation on
the Faculty A. A. Council. IV'ow is
the lime to plan and prepare. Action
shtuild be taken to rid the college of
nil or (disolete ]tolicies and to put on
an operating basis an active and
progressive athletic ]dan.

In the fanied Xochimilco gardens of Mexico, the pause that
rejresbes with ice-cold Coca-Cola is an old escablished custom.
Across the border, as io your own living room, Coca-Cola stands
for a refreshing interlude, a symbol of good will wherever it
is served.

When the Dragons last played on
the home floor (against I rsinus), tliey
gave the impression of having a
smooth working outfit when the ball
v>as near mid-court. The difliculties
lay in the fact that the lads from
Collegeville seemed to have signed
lor the backboard concession and were
pretty firm alxuit holding on to the
lease. Larry Tecosky shov\ed the visi­
tors how to play the low ceiling on
set shots and c<dlected a few (two)
pointers in the bargain himself.

Here’s one who wouldn’t be sur­
prised to see a rather interesting
article on the forthcoming baseball
season in the next issue. With Mr.
Byrnes’ permission Drexel has the
promise of playing some red-hot baseball with some red-hot <'ompetiiion.

The fearless alumni tangled with
the Dragon varsity five in an epic
court battle last Thursday night. Led
by Mr. Kiilesh. who was high scorer
for the evening, the alumni team
drove at the varsity basket repeatedly.
Bennett and Kulesli accounted for
nine of the Alunini’s field goals
and carried a big share of the
winning score. The highlight of the
game came when Kahn forced an ex­
tra period l,y leveling the score with
a loul shot, liaytan. who committed
the foul, was put out of the game for
his fifth offense. Barris broke the
32-32 tie when he dropped the win­
ning tally into the varsity basket. Both
sides demonstrated their ability at
team vsork. The final register showed
a victorious alumni team rolling up
the win by a slim margin of two
points.
