Goodness knows we 1 have tried hard enough to make it a nice book. If you don ' t like it, — — ' ' you know where you can go. For division pages, we have used the portraits of four men who made great contributions to the world of culture. Opposite these portraits, which are really very lovely, we have placed essays, in which we have tried, in our own humble way, to show how these men, through their life works, expressed and upheld certain ideals that we should like to see become (or remain, if you wish) the ideals of Butler university. Nobody will read these essays, but we enjoyed writing them. Most year- books are merely collections of more or less interesting photographs, catalogic articles, and trite and perfunctory paeans of praise, interspersed with colorful, but obviously amateur and painfully obscure, art. You know the statements that are customarily found in annuals, don ' t you? The labors and sacrifices of these noble people of the past have created our Alma Mater of the present and have assured our beloved school a glorious future. The Mu Delta Sigma fraternity has for its purpose the strengthening of the bonds of fellowship be- tween organized and unorganized men. The aim of the Scarlet Blade, women ' s honorary organization, is to serve dear old Merriwell academy. This year ' s football team, though it scored only two touchdowns to its opponents ninety-six, never quit fighting. Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc We wanted our book to be a little different, a little distinctive. The essays are supposed to express some thought — thought that, naive and fallacious though it may be, is sincere. And now, having perused this delightful forward, turn to where your picture is in the book and gaze at yourself as long as you want to. You know as well as we do that that ' s the only reason you bought a Drift, anyway. Lovingly yours, THE STAFF G • ' T : ' raiUTfeo %x fkaxc Butler ' s Woodland Campus Moving to Fairview was termed an idle and pre- posterous dream.

' r.fe ; : b v y- ' -- -• I •. The Canal, A Beautiful Remind- er of Bygone Days The canal speaks silently of an age that is no more. But thought never dies; it is eternal, and ever grows. If the New Butler is to be more than plastering and stone, then the students that assemble in its spacious classrooms must know that wisdom is the only ulti- mate of life. RWTtD IN itkva Dear Friends: You noticed the bull on the front page of this book, didn ' t you? Well, the book itself might be considered a china shop. .. ' Via Music OSTER ' S melodies describe the Victorian era, an age that, beneath its superficialities, was dignified and serene, and held a leisurely and contem- plative outlook on life. But, more than that, they are deeply emotional. There is, for instance, that longing for the past that trembles in all of them, a longing for friends now gone, and for scenes that exist no more. One hears in them the cry for freedom of an oppressed people; the race whose lament they originally voiced has since stepped from under the yoke, but humanity as a whole is as much in slavery as ever — its master. Death, is as cruelly indifferent as any the Negro ever knew. But this plea for liberation so apparent in Foster ' s songs is not bitter; as one listens, it changes from a lament into calm resignation, resig- nation to immutable universal laws. If Foster ' s music abounded in complicated rhythms and elaborate harmonies, it would be neither so beautiful nor so profound. Its greatness is in its simplic- ity. Let genuine simplicity be the guiding spirit of the new Butler; let this uni- versity be unhampered by the inconsequential that have crept into many modern educational institutions — tiresome rules, bothersome regulations, meaningless courses. Let Butler become not a great factory of lucrative professions, but a place of quietude and seclusion, a place where the student will feel arise within him a yearning for the infinite, a desire for a higher existence. What has his education profited a graduate, no matter how learned a scholar, or how competent a doctor, or how expert an economist he has become, if, after his college years are over, he does not feel akin to the courageous intelligence that has been striving, since time began, to lift life from the darkness of impersonality and futility up to the light of consciousness and meaning? - STEPHEN FOSTER Composer of American Folk Songs. ARTHUR JORDAN Whose generosity enabled Butler College of Wvington to become Butler University of Fairview The School J ] the Butler Moves North (By Marjoric McElroy) REATER Butler, the achievement of years of activity, through all stages of failure and success, emerges as one of the leading universities of the United States. When little red school house in historic Irving- HiLTON U. Brown ton became inadequate, when the ever-increasing enrollment necessitated immediate action, that splendid group of men, the Board of Directors, formulated a plan of action. Thus, in May 1920, was inaugurated the movement towards Greater Butler. Because of these men Butler is today one of America ' s outstanding universities. In Novem- ber 1922 the present location, with all of its natural beauty, was chosen by the site com- mittee, which was composed of Will Irwin, Arthur V. Brown, Emsley W. Johnson, and Lee Burns. An option was secured from the Indianapolis Street Railway Company on 246 acres. Plans for the construction of new buildings were next in order. The coffers were empty, sad to say, and a building-up of funds was necessary. The link between plans and actuality was supplied by the hard work of John W. Ather- ton, financial secretary of the city office of the university. To him, unlimited praise is due for the untold effort which he has expended. The generosity of Arthur Jordan, board member, financier, and philan- thropist, must be accorded a full measure of credit. The million dollar gift of Mr. Jordan in 1927, making possible the Memorial Hall which, as a fitting tribute, bears his name, represents one of the greatest services which the univer- sity has ever enjoyed.

But do not be too ready to laugh at these adolescent sermons, you wise ones. For surely you will admit, even the most learned and mature among you. that colleges today are not all. not nearly all. that they might be. When a student is able, while in college, to have dates every other night, to engage in all sorts of ex- tracurricular activities, and to carry outside work besides, and still receive a degree at the end of his fourth year, it does seem, doesn ' t it, that degrees don ' t mean much anymore, and that colleges perhaps aren ' t as much to their students as they should be? The persons in whose hands the destinies of the colleges of this country rest should begin to realize, one of these days, that unless colleges leave the paths they are now following, they will, before long, be institutions without purpose and without meaning. Mr. Aley Whistling in the Dark People used to actually believe that after dying they would ascend to Heaven, and there, reclining upon the banks of a crystal stream, pluck harps and sing with the angels forever and ever. But now science has come along and shown how ridiculous such beliefs arc: and those who had expected a pleasant and rest- ful eternity find themselves facing the dark. Disillusionment always causes bitter despair; and everywhere now are to be heard scoffers, who jeeringly term religion whistling in the dark. To many persons, that is all it is: they arc afraid, and are trying to keep up their courage. So if religion and churches are to endure, they must reestablish themselves on something more real than the superstitions which have been jerked from under them, superstitions which even the most zealous religious leaders of today will admit have caused untold misery in the world. Mr. Kershner The Straight and Narrow HE title dean used to carry with it evil connotations of one sort and another. A dean was a sort of grouchy and mor- bid, albeit powerful, individual who went around doing his or her best to make college students miserable. Young ladies who stayed out late at night were sure to hear from the dean of women, and young gentlemen who couldn ' t resist the joys of frequent dissipation knew that the dean of men would be on their trail. Goodness, how times have changed! Girls nowadays dance till two or three in the morn- Mr. Putnam ing, thinking nothing of it: and if they want to smoke and in other ways show their freedom, they do so. Boys tear around town at all hours of the night in their handsome roadsters, caring little what dad. or mother, or dean, or anybody else thinks of them. And the deans themselves — well, what on earth can they do but sit back helplessly and watch the inevitable: For what can even such mighty in- dividuals as they do when the young people supposedly under their jurisdiction have been taught ever since they were teachable that every human being has a right to get out of life just what he can, and that success of any sort is to be attained only by aggressiveness? For is not aggressiveness the virtue most sought after and applauded nowa- days? The football player who rips sensationally through the opposing line, or dashes madly around left end, straight-arming all players, is cheered madly by the crowd. Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey. and Billy Sunday have more followers than Harriet Beecher Stowe ever dreamed of having. The salesman that forces the most contracts down his clients ' throats is banqueted and trophied by the home company. Deans, you are up against it! How are you going to tell a gay young crea- ture who speeds down Meridian street at sixty miles an hour in her baby blue roadster and fur coat, nonchalantly flicking ashes from her cigarette and complacently disregarding all stop signs, old people, children, and other hindrances, that she must obey certain rules and regulations? Somebody ' s got to get us out of this situa- tion. But who? How can even deans be ex- pected to inspire respect for order and law in boys and girls whose parents compete fiercely with their fellow men in the business world all day and then tune in eagerly on jazz music and prize fights at night ' Miss Buti.hr g:?%M. ©g What ' s It All About, ? Anyh OWJ MERICAN school children arc taught so many myths that by tlic time they reach college their minds are almost completely and hopelessly made up for them, and lines of thought are carefully settled in grooves from which it is hard to escape. Phi osophy should try to get these children to think for themselves, to dislodge the gullible attitude they have always held and to put in its place a critical attitude. But philosophy, of course, must do more than cause disillusionment. Disillusionment usually leaves its victim in despair: the world he considered sound has been proved false, has gone to pieces, and he sees nothing but futility everywhere. Philosophy will show him that life is meaningful. It will lead him not to the despair of nothingness, but to the beauty of reality, reality as it has been conceived by the world ' s greatest minds. This Great Age People have been led to believe, by after-dinner speakers, campaign orators, and newspaper writers, that, because of its tremendous mechanical development, this is the world ' s greatest age. But is machinery absolutely beneficial to society? What use is radio, for instance, if over it one hears nothing but jazz music, vaudeville patter, church sermons, advertisements, and political propaganda? And do not forget, by the way, that modern advantages are enjoyed at the expense of men ' s souls, men ' s bodies, men ' s lives. Miners who work in black. dust-filled underground pits to supply with coal the factories that manufacture the advantages usually die before reaching middle age; human lungs and human minds, you know, can endure only so much. Men who build automobiles, men who have to work in hot factories for eight or ten hours every day, hearing always the ceaseless roar of the modern industrial plant — what does life hold for them? No matter what the politicians and jour- nalists say, this age is in a frightful mess. Do the sociologists know a way out? f-S ' S: - Purpose Astray ROM their first electric train, children of the twentieth century glorify in the magnificent achievements of this age of scientific progress. People are ever re- minded that fast automobiles, tall buildings, and radios are due to the advancement of Science. Little wonder that Science means nothing more for them than speed, efficiency, and production! The advancement of Science has done away with the superstitions of the past: it has put in their place little more than a cocky skepticism. As if a whirring motor were capable of spelling out the destiny of mankind! However, it can be seen that what is really being criticized here is not Science itself but rather that foreign element which dominates Science today — namely, the practi- cal. Modern scientific investigation began with a desire to give life a deeper interpretation. But the utility element has entered and spread with stupendous rapidity. Natural Science needs to be separated from practical materialism and regrounded in a purposeful connected whole of life. Chaos is Wrong The human mind demands order of its universe. In compliance with this demand has developed the oldest of all sciences — mathematics. The extreme exactness of this science is due to the abstract quality of its ideas which are capable of unusually sharp determination. However, mathe- matics does not rest on grounds which are ultimately unlike and independent of those of other sciences. For mathematics is the science of all exact thinking. The solution of algebraic equations, the classification of plants, and the framing of constitutions are all mental operations having order as their common aim and ground. Modern empiricism proceeds on the assump- tion that the world of nature is an orderly whole capable of mathematical comprehension. The resulting progress in natural science conceptions would seem to prove the validity of that as- sumption. We are beginning to understand the ancient Pythagorean postulate that number is the source of all things. Mr. Johnson upon a Peak g: : §4i ©-g ?i EiM nr ss 2.  problem of modern labor-saving devices is that the comforts they produce make people lazy. Anyone who has a goal nowadays desires achievement without ef- fort. And that is why very few students at- tempt the study of Latin and Greek. They know those languages are difficult to learn. No teacher of classical languages will promise any short cut to either tongue. Mastery comes only after years of diligent study. But the teacher will go on to say that the mind, like the body, is developed by exercise, and that the very discipline which the student undergoes while studying Greek and Latin may enable him to understand and appreciate the works of classical writers Balboa and his men were weary, most likely, and the climb upward was probably steep and difficult and fraught with dangers. But the summit was at- tained: and there before them was an infinite stretch of waters, a mighty stretch of waters upon which they had never looked before. No wonder that they gazed at one another with wild surmise — Silent, upon a peak in Darien. Mr. Gelston Forgotten Treasures While movie audiences thrill nightly to screen dramas, the real characters and the genuinely dramatic situations of English literature remain unread in books on library shelves. Interest in good literature is not much in evidence anywhere nowadays. Persons who wish to read turn almost entirely to modern American writers. They await eagerly one best seller after another, satisfied with any book that is frank and of pleasing style and futuristic cover. There are countless writers in America today. Are they all masters? Why not read books that have been proved, through many years of intelligent criticism, to be truly worth- while. ' ' Classic writers are harder to read than the moderns, but isn ' t that so because there is much more contained in their works? Modern read- ers have taken the attitude that a writer ' s mes- sage must be easily grasped; otherwise he has failed. But is the reader developed or benefited by ideas handed to him on a silver platter? Modern literature has made the modern mind completely receptive. That is its great weak- ness. And that is why classical English liter- ature is being neglected. Mr. Harrison Where Are We Drifting CONOMIC thought is nothing new. Since Adam, men have been faced with the task of supplying Hfe ' s material wants. However, with the advent of modern economic theory, economics has exper- ienced an abnormal development and separation from true life values. A century or so ago, economics as an in- dividual science did not exist. Economic law was confused with moral codes: the pursuit of wealth as its own end was considered a deadly sin. Only in accordance with a popular mater- ialism has economics attempted to stand on its own feet, has money-making become the sole life aim for the vast majority of human beings. It is this attempt of economics to establish itself on an independent and meaningless foundation that must ultimately cause not only its own downfall but also that of the civilization based upon it. Economic theory which ignores morality and aesthetics is both dangerous and absurd. Beyond The Boundaries Persons who know much about language say that not even the most expert translator can put into another language the richness of style and fullness of meaning of the original. Literature inevitably loses much in being translated. A German cannot fully understand and appreciate Hugo until he knows French: a Frenchman can begin to comprehend Shakespeare only after he has mastered English: and an Englishman does not really grasp the wonder of Goethe until he knows German. What a tremendous amount of beauty and wisdom awaits, therefore, the student who is willing to expend the effort necessary to learn the European languages. His hours of labor will be long and hard, and determined applica- tion will be unavoidable: but beyond the drudg- ery he will find and appreciate the original flavor in the works of such minds as Goethe, Hugo, Cervantes, Dante, Ibsen, Heine, Kant, and Rostand. Out of the Dark T|HH student of liistory used to be forced I to memorize all sorts ot meaningless facts and uninteresting dates. In recent years, however, some historians have begun to advance the theory that studying wars and elections and the other contests that have al- ways occurred and are always occurring among individuals powerful enough to exploit society is like studying a chess game. And so history has tended lately to become a study of such things as the rise of industrialism. the set- tling of the West, and the silver standard vs. the gold. It has begun to concern itself, that is, with groups of human beines rather than [ Bhelhr with individuals. But isn ' t it possible that even these social movements, though participated in by whole peoples, are caused and controlled by those same exploiters of society? The study of the human mind and its attempt, while developing itself, to make this world and this life meaningful and rational is, perhaps, the only genuine history. A Game? The acquiring of an education is considered by the modern student a social distinction, like the ability to play bridge: he displays his diploma as the prize for luck — sometimes skill — in playing his cards. This element of un- certainty, by the way, is what makes the teaching game even more fascinating — sometimes. But even a game must be scientifically formulated and played ac- cording to rules. The scientist in education is trying to find order and reason in the com- plication of convention and new idea that our institutions of learning have become: to dis- cover workable maxims and a scientific basis for measurement of concrete aspects of educa- tion. Is that basis to be found wholly in psychology? We wonder! He also suggests that all of one ' s education should be effective in later life, as vocation or as leisure; but must not something more than use and pleasure be considered if we are to show our young the values of life. ' ' Mr. Rich.xrdsgn y Americans Hope m™ ]OW can a woman play golf and tennis, I hear Charlie Davis every week, attend her X l bridge club regularly, and still have time - ' ' left to keep house? Well, unless she is an expert, she can ' t. And so friend husband becomes angry, and then bitter: and all at once the papers are full of another one of those sensational murder trials. So perhaps it is home economics that will save American home life, which at present seems to be rapidly becoming a thing of the past. For that science, if presented properly, will teach women how to so expend their time and energy that they may take advantage of the new op- portunities that have become theirs in recent years and also be good housewives. And after it has reestablished the American home on a firm foundation, home economics can render another great service to this country. It can create a butterscotch pie that, although delicious, will NOT cause anyone who partakes of it to have a fierce stomach ache afterwards. Getting Across Expression of human thought and feeling is accomplished by gesture or verbal expression. Tradition in language study has emphasized the written word because of its more lasting value. But its origin and interpretation is in the spoken word, which by intonation of voice and gesture has greater variety of color and emphasis, but that is ephemeral unless translated into the systematic symbolism of language. Two primary forms of spoken word are the speech and the drama; the art in either is in unified presentation and vividness and clarity of style: the basis of which is in the logic and rhetoric of the language. In public presentation, the interest of an audience may be caught by personality, gesture, setting: held for a time by technical proficiency. Judges and critics may even be influenced to give judgments on technicalities, but the true worth of a speech or drama lies in the com- munication of a well-unified whole of idea and emotion. Mr. Sifritt A Challenge M ORE and more each day the ugly hand of monopoly is seen in the United States. Pamphlets are printed by the interests, of course, explaining that consolida- tions are for the public good: but do financiers indulge in their manipulations merely because they wish to serve humanity? Their manipulations, at any rate, offer a tremendous opportunity to journalism. Are the newspapers of the land going to stand by and watch a small group of individuals get com- plete control of American society? Many papers have already sold out to the commercial clique. That is why news of the public utilities scandal, which seemed about to Mr. O ' Dell be uncovered, recently, suddenly was heard no more. Unless, of course, the papers dropped the affair because they felt that the rumors had been exaggerated or untrue. Two doors are open to journalists today. The door of indifference to exist- ing conditions leads to a large circulation and huge advertising profits. The door of courageous honesty leads to the only genuine and only significant jour- nalism. ' In a Strong Body Physical power is worshiped today as never before: even society women go to prize fights: and sports in general receive as much attention as politics. Great stadiums throughout the land cannot accommodate the football crowds; and fieldhouses and ball parks are likewise packed during their respective seasons. The average American, however, does not worry at all about his own body. His living habits are extremely irregular, and his diet, if it could be termed that, is composed of such foods as cokes, pork sandwiches, mashed potatoes, and liquor that was made by goodness knows whom. He can not sleep, of course, more than five hours a night, for busi- ness, dances, and bridge tournaments take up too much of his time. Physical education must make people see that the human body, like any other machine, will break down under reckless treatment. And it must make them realize that mental capacities can be fully attained only in properly function- ing bodies. - ' %ln.

It offers courses in fine arts, com- mercial art, and teacher training. The Art Museum and the Art School are closely associated. The students are not only admitted to the galleries with- out charge, but are allowed to work directly from objects exhibited, or from material especially arranged for their study. The permanent collection con- sists not only of paintings, sculpture, and objects of art, but many visiting ex- hibitions representing the best work by artists from all parts of the country. The close contact with art treasures cannot fail to be an inspiration to the students. A co-operative plan has been made between the Art School and Butler Uni- versity whereby a student may receive a degree of Fine Arts upon recommenda- tion of the faculties of the two schools. This course is especially arranged for those interested in the teacher training work, who expect to be art supervisors or high school teachers. Students who are working for a baccalaureate degree at Butler University may take fourteen semester hours work at the Art School. It is most important that all well educated people should have some know- ledge of art so as to at least appreciate what others produce if they themselves are not sufficiently talented to paint or draw. Those who are interested in the study of art appreciation find the exhibitions and the material in the art library, located in the Museum building, most interesting and instructive. The library is equipped with twenty-eight hundred volumes on art, also periodicals, museum ' ' g : iy E g ? :M Tr sa 2=.5?! bulletins, photograph reproductions, and clippings. Here the student also has the use of books from the city library. The library is used in conjunction with the class room instruction. The aim of the fine arts course is to give thorough training in drawing and painting from the figure and landscape. Personal attention is given each student and encouragement is offered by bringing him in contact with more mature groups of artists and collectors of art. Opportunity is given the advanced student to show his work in the best middle-west exhibitions. The commercial course is planned to give the students a comprehensive knowledge of present-day conditions in the field of commercial art, and know- ledge of the process of reproduction. A valuable feature of this course is the opportunity each student has in studying with professional men, who are in touch with every-day problems of the commercial world. A course in theatre design is planned to train those who wish to do professional work for the stage, those who desire to arrange pageants and theatricals for high schools and amateur performances, and those who are studying decorative illustration. It includes the making of models, study of color and arrangement, history of the theatre, pure design, and practical application to the stage. The settings for the school pageants are originated by the members of the theatre design classes, and the costumes by those attending the costume classes. All the students in the school participate in such functions. The teacher training course is arranged to meet the increasing demand on the part of drawing teachers in public and private schools for an opportunity to acquire a degree and have professional training in an art school. This course is accredited by the Indiana State Department of Public Instruction, and is recog- nized by both colleges and universities. A Junior department is maintained for high school and grade school students. Only high school graduates are enrolled in the regular school. ART STUDENTS ATTENDING A LECTURE BY WILLIAM FORSYTH IN THE MUSEUM sj%8 : Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music Formerly Metropolitan School of Music and Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts (By Mrs. Henry Schurmann) RTHUR JORDAN, philanthropist and well-known business man of Indianap- olis, long interested in musical and edu- cational activities, who was a member of the advisory board of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts, purchased, in June 1928, the Metropolitan School of Music and the Indi- ana College of Music and Fine Arts, with the vision and purpose of combining them into an outstanding Conservatory of Music, which shall have no peer or equal in the Middle West. The Metropolitan School was formed in 1895 by Flora M. Hunter and Oliver Willard Pierce, pianists, Franz X. Arens, teacher of voice, and Richard Schlewin, violinist. The directors at the time of the purchase by Mr. Jordan were Edward Nell, Leslie E. Peck, and Hugh McGibeny. In 1906 Oliver Willard Pierce withdrew from the school and in 1907 founded the College of Musical Art which later became the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts. In 1924 Mrs. Blanche Harrington bought the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts and at the time of Mr. Jordan ' s purchase the officers were Mrs. Henry Schurmann, president: Mrs. Harrington, business executive: and Arthur W. Mason, musical director. Such a conservatory as Mr. Jordan visions will indeed be an asset to the city and state, and the cooperation and support of all public spirited citizens are invited to assist in making it a realization. The high standards for which both schools have been noted will be affirmed in all departments. The members of the faculties are teachers of high standing, eminently fitted for their particular lines of work: and as new teachers are added, the standards will be upheld. The courses of study are thorough and up to date and keep pace with the progress of other high institutions of learning. Full theoretical courses are maintained in combined classes of both schools. The public school music department offers a four year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music which is accredited in Indiana and other states. Courses leading to certificates, diplomas, artist diplomas, and degrees are of- fered in all departments. Languages, dramatic art and dancing are included as separate departments. A careful supervision of students is maintained during their musical progress. Both schools give applied work in voice, piano, violin, viola, violoncello, harp, clarinet, flute, cornet, trumpet, melaphone, trombone, saxophone, xylophone, and drums. h j t ms mi m = 0©B i tM: Tr 2s S ? i i3 = Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music (Continued) Special students may enter at any time, but will not be accepted for less than one term of ten weeks. An organ department is maintained where the students should meet the re- quirements of proficiency in piano, that are necessary for entrance to the piano department and, in addition should be able to show some adaptability to the study of this instrument. To enter this course the student is required to make up any high school deficiency during the first year. A course in church music and hymnology is a part of this course. Partial course students may take as few classes as they desire and the work will be credited accordingly; however, they must enter classes at the beginning of the year. The Conservatory is affiliated with Butler University, The Conservatory and the University cooperate in the preparation of music teachers and super- visors for all grades of public school music. In this cooperation all courses are given in the Conservatory; but the applied and theoretical work is given by Conservatory teachers, while the professional and academic courses are given by Butler professors. Sixteen hours of theoretical music subjects are recognized by Butler University toward the Liberal Arts De- gree. The Conservatory is fully accredited by the State Department of Education in public school music and is recognized by other educational institutions. The Conservatory is gradually accumulating a library of music and music literature, and enlists contributions from friends and musicians. In December 1928, Mr. Jordan purchased the properties at 1116 and 1204 N. Delaware Street as the site of the Conservatory and also the building at 341 1 N. Penn. St. opposite Shortridge High School, as a north branch for the Conservatory. The Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts is housed in the North Dela- ware Street buildings, while the Metropolitan School of Music continues at 106 East North Street. Until the new home of the Conservatory is ready for occupancy, it will function in the several buildings now occupied by the schools. Sigma Alpha Iota, national musical fraternity, is under the auspices of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts. The Metropolitan houses the Mu Phi Epsilon, national honorary musical fraternity and the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity, a men ' s organization. All fraternities support scholarships. A summer session for the training of supervisors of public school music and grade teachers is scheduled for June 17 to July 19, 1929. These courses are to apply if necessary on the two and four year and degree courses as offered in con- nection with Butler University. Practically the entire faculty will be available during the summer session. Alice Corbin Sies g ! i= =©e €5 Student Activities at Teachers College of Indianapolis I- ' ounded by Eliza A.

HE aim of Teachers College of Indian- apolis is to train women to teach in the elementary gracies, including the kinder- garten. How well this has been accom- plished is indicated by the fact that her gradu- ates are teaching in most of the counties in the state, every state in the union, and in seven foreign countries. More than two hundred wo- men trained at Teachers College are teachers in the Indianapolis public schools today, and all the new teachers appointed in the Indianapolis public kindergartens last year were graduates of this institution. However, although the college is not co- educational, and although its purpose differs from that of the arts college, in being more limited and more clefinite, the student activities are much the same as those on the Butler campus. Class organizations, plays and stunts, sororities, and sorority houses, a newspaper, dances, and clubs are all features of the student life of Teachers College. The President ' s Council and the Student Council are two active student organizations. Through her President ' s Council, President Sies keeps in close touch with the interests and needs of the students, and both councils arc sponsors for many student movements. A dance given this spring at the Columbia Club, a vaudeville show, school parties, and the welcoming of new students have been among the activities of the Student Council this year. At the suggestion of the councils, one period a week has been left free on the program for student mass meetings, clubs, and class meetings. Class organization at the college is based not only on the seniority of the students but also on the courses which they are taking. Since the college trains students for teaching in all grades of the elementary school, and also offers special courses in supervision and home making, there are seven distinct class organiza- tions instead of the usual four. These are called by such formidable names as Junior Kindergarten-Primary Class and Senior Intermediate Class. These organizations meet regularly once a month and are important factors in develop- ing the friendly spirit typical of Teachers College. The traditional college fair, given annually in November or December, is managed by the classes. A Christ- mas fair was given this year immediately before the holidays with a Christmas village of quaint houses and shops for a background. Attractive pottery, basketry, and tooled leather work from the art and hand-work classes are often offered for sale at the fair, and the home economics department always con- tributes delicious fruit cakes, marmalade, and candy, made in the department kitchen. ■ r Six sororities have chapters at Teachers College. Five of these maintain houses in the vicinity of the college at Twenty-third and Alabama streets, and four of them are national organizations. The oldest was established in 1892 at the State Normal School at Farmville, Virginia, and one was founded at Teachers College of Indianapolis twenty-three years ago. These sororities, with their Pan-Hellenic organizations and rules, their rush parties, and other more serious enterprises, are the same type of Greek letter organizations as their older sisters, the women ' s fraternities of the arts colleges. Teachers College also has an honorary scholastic society. An annual ceremony that is always of much interest to friends of the college is the impressive Christmas vesper service given by the Glee Club in the college chapel. The program consists entirely of Christmas music and always includes some unusual old songs from England, France, Bohemia, and Italy. The chapel is decorated with Christmas greens and lighted entirely by candles and a single star against a curtain of virgin blue. Two choirs are used, one garbed in church- ly white vestments and the other, which sings from a balcony above the altar, in angel robes of white and silver. The Glee Club also gave two concerts this year. A music study club, L ' AUegro, is connected with the Glee Club an d is federated with the state association of music clubs. The Dramatic Club, the Beau Brummel Club, the Scribbler ' s Quill, the Book Club, the Y. W. C. A., the Current Events Club, the Athletic Association, and ' the Ballroom Dancing Club, are other organizations in the college. No student, however, is permitted to join too many clubs. SCENE IN THE KINDERGARTEN OF THE JACKSON GRADED SCHOOL OF TEACHERS COLLEGE rJ: l..i;H I . ' ol The T. C. I. Collegiate, the student newspaper, has been improved this year by the formation of a journalism class. Representatives of the staff attend- ed the second annual conference of normal colleges held at Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute in February. The first conference was held last year at Teachers College of Indianapolis. Wednesday mornings are devoted to observation. Students are sent to visit not only schools but to the many places of artistic, industrial, and com- mercial interest in Indianapolis. The chapel program this year has included distinguished speakers from different fields in addition to educators of national reputation. Chapel services are held twice a week. Commencement in June is a traditional ceremony which is unique. Girls from the junior class, dressed in white and bearing garlands of smilax, form an aisle through which the graduates pass. The college commencement song, used at no other time of the year, is played for the processional and sung by the school chorus after the graduates and faculty have entered. Girls carrying the college banners, and others with French baskets of roses, lead the procession. The faculty members wear the caps and gowns of their degrees, and the graduates wear caps and gowns. Students are graduated from a two-year course, a three- year course, or are granted a degree of B. S. for the completion of a four-year course. Green and white, the college colors, are combined with blue in the hoods presented the B. S. graduates. The alumnae luncheon following commencement is the reunion for a small per cent of the 20,000 former students of the college. Although the summer session, attracting hundreds of experienced teachers, con- tinues through July and part of August, usually with as large an enrollment as any of the three other terms, commencement marks the formal close of the college year for the student clubs and sororities. THE PRESIDENTS COUNCIE .«i f5E €S iJl5| = T Claire Ann Shover Nursery School OLLOWING the modern trend in child psychology and education, Butler has provided a laboratory in which the students may make practical application of the courses which they are taking. The Claire Ann Shover Nursery School serves such a purpose for the junior and senior women en- rolled in Professor Richardson ' s lecture courses on the psychology of the pre-school child. The Nursery School is located at 3265 N. New Jersey street. It operates under the direc- tion of Mrs. Richard Lieber. Besides the staff of regular assistants, the school maintains a physician, a psychologist, a nurse, and a cook. There are accomodations for twenty-four children, and only those between the ages of three and five are admitted. The children come to school at nine each morning and leave at five. At noon a simple, healthful lunch is served where each little boy and girl learns to eat spinach and carrots, drink milk, and take cod liver oil. An effort is made to establish good habits of playing, eating, and sleeping. In the afternoon, each child takes a nap in his own individual bed. Throughout the day, play hours and games are alternated with instruction in singing and other simple rhythmic work. In a few years Butler will possibly have a nursery school of its own located on the Fairview campus. Professor Richardson has high expectations for the future popularity of the course among the junior and senior women and even hopes to interest the men students in a study intended to prepare college students for better and more intelligent parenthood. CHILDREN AT PLAY AT NURSERY SCHOOL l ' % j sm E % s i§! m The Law as a Profession Dean Rohbach HE profession of law is properly regarded as a learned profession, and only the most rigid and systematic instruction can pre- pare the student for a successful career in very complex science. The day is past when a student could obtain adequate legal in- struction in the office of an attorney in active practice. The practicing attorney is ordinarily too much engrossed with his professional duties to give to the student in his office that personal attention which is necessary to properly guide him in his studies. The student in an office is thus thrown in great measure upon his own re- sources, and is obliged to pick his way well-nigh unaided through the most intricate branches of the law. More than this, he must pursue his studies subject to the many hindrances and annoyances imposed upon him by the duties he owes to the lawyer in whose office he is employed. The object of all college and university training should be to turn out a body of good learners, men who know how to study and who have learned how to use what they know. There can be no substitute for the daily contact of mind with mind — the mingling of numbers of alert and ambitious young men engaged in the pursuit of a common object. The object of the instruction given at the Law School is to familiarize the student with the principles of law. and to discipline his mind in proper legal reasoning, so as to prepare him for the practical work of an attorney in advising his client and caring for the interests which may be entrusted to him. I. Mr. Alford, Mr. White, Mr. Zapf, Mr. Adams. II. Mr. den, Mr. Kern. Mr. Wood. Mr. Garrison. Mr. Ewbank. J The three leading methods of instruction as now applied in the best law schools are instruction by lectures, text-book instruction, and the study of cases. The first, instruction by lectures, has the peculiar merit of being the means of giving the most vivid and forcible illustrations of legal principles; the text-book instruction furnishes the most accessible and convenient means of study: and the study of leading cases gives the best training in legal reasoning. The instruction, whether by lectures or by the use of a text-book, is accom- panied and supplemented by the discussion in the class-room of leading cases, so that, in those subjects wherein a book of cases is not the basis of instruction, the student is brought into familiarity with the leading or ruling cases, as well as with the authoritative cases of his own state. By this means, the student is trained thoroughly in the study of cases in almost every subject offered in the course, and the advantage of each of the modes of instruction is brought to his aid in his work. Most of the courses are based entirely upon the study of cases, especially where experience has demonstrated the advantages of that method. The profession of law also offers opportunities to the man who would de- vote himself to study and research. Much has been written on the law, but much still remains to be written by those qualified by ability and training for legal authorship. Furthermore, law teachers are needed to man the faculties of our law schools, and at present the demand for those fitted by reason of their temperament and scholarship for law teaching is greater than the supply. The practicing attorney comes into closer relationship with his clients, and his obligations to them are well defined. Toward them he must practice the utmost good faith, and in furthering their legitimate interests must exercise his best diligence. He should never stir up litigation, but should, wherever possible, play the part of a peacemaker. In the trial of cases the lawyer ' s efforts should always be to inform the court correctly on matters of fact and of law; his aim should not be to win at any cost, but to see that substantial justice is done be- tween the parties. The lawyer is also under heavy obligations to the public, although the nature and extent of this obligation is perhaps more difficult of defi- nition. The lawyer who holds a public office is, of course, a public leader, but the lawyer who occupies no public office is also one of the leaders of his community in all matters of public interest and should have a strong sense of the responsi- bility of such leadership. Frequently, he can best judge the fitness of candidates for public office and is best entitled to pass honest criticism on those who hold public office. As a student of law and political institutions, he should be partic- ularly fitted to suggest means for remedying public evils and advancing the general public welfare. The opportunities which are open to those who enter the profession of law are undoubtedly more extensive and varied than those offered by any other calling. The most obvious field of labor for the lawyer is in the active practice of law, consisting of advising clients and preparing and trying cases. In this field the thoroughly trained and conscientious lawyer may well gain honor and substantial rewards. But it not infrequently happens that one who combines with legal training an aptitude for business will be called more or less from the active practice of law into the business world to organize, reorganize, or manage large banking, mercantile, or public service companies — a field of opportunity for large usefulness. It is not only in the administration of the law, however, that the lawyer finds occupation. There is a large field of activity for the lawyer in the making of the law. It is natural that the great majority of the law makers should be lawyers, for lawyers best know the shortcomings of any existing system of the ■J J law and can most scientifically frame the statutes which arc required to meet developments. The legislator ' s remuneration is not great, but his opportunities to influence public thought and public action and to be truly useful to his fellow- men are practically unlimited. Ignorantia Legium neminem excusat. For the law is overwhelmingly universal. It can not be avoided. It has become an integral part of our language and is constantly in our thought. Law is not separate and distinct from life, or the business of living. It is the foundation of our society. Underlying all knowledge, science and philosophy, religion and sociology, history and econo- mics, we find Law. Blackstone classifies law as ( 1 ) The Law of Nature, which he defines as the will of the Maker: (2) The l aw of Revelation, such as Divine Providence hath from time to time discovered in the Holy Scriptures: ( 3 ) The Law of Nations, International Law, which regulates the intercourse between independent states: and (4) Municipal Law, which he defines as a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a state, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong. Surely we are justified in saying that the fundamental stratum of all order is Law. If not the law of the forum, the law of society, adopted from experience and necessity. The great charters, constitutions of states, arc beacons of light. The recorded decisions are the conclusions reached by the judges in actual con- troversies between living persons. Treatises on law are not merely technical, but philosophical, sociological, political expressions of social order. The books giving such an expression most assuredly have a human appeal. They tell the story of daily life. And to the great names in all literature, to such names as Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Machiavelli, Bacon, Hume, Locke, Shakespeare, there should be added Moses, Glanville, Bracton, Littleton, Coke.

Having studied and bluffed and cut classes for four years, they are now ready to receive degrees. They are, at present, sweet young creatures: but what will they be in a few years. ' ' Some of the boys will be automobile salesmen, and others will be trying to peddle insurance. A few, perhaps, will be trudging from door to door attempt- ing to dispose of needles or vacuum cleaners. And one or two will die before they have had a chance to do much of anything. Many of the girls will get mar- ried, before long, and proceed to bring up families — families on whom they will pin the same sort of hopes that their parents are pinning on them now. Those that don ' t get married will become stenographers, or school teachers, or something. Yes, seniors, most of you are mediocre. It would be nice if you were all potentially great men or women, but you aren ' t. And yet, as commencement draws near, the world for a little while is yours. For you are full of hope: and the future (you are sure) is going to be a beautiful adventure. (Youth, as they say in the movies, is like that.) Nights in June are glorious. The sky is full of clear stars, soft breezes whisper among the trees, fireflies flash against the darkness, and the smell of roses is everywhere. Remember, seniors! The world for a little while is yours! THE SERVING TABLE AT THE FOUNDERS ' DAY RECEPTION. WHICH WAS HELD IN JORDAN HALL Dana Chandler (president) and Nan Erances Warren (vice-president) of the class of ' 29. -=s . i- fl g- L ' And So It Was Ended HE seventy-third annual com- mencement of Butler Univer- sity was held on the morninc; of Monday, June 18, 1928, n ' t ten o ' clock. Since it was to be the last Irvington graduation, prepara- tions were made to have the cere- monies take place out on the cool and quiet campus, under the trees by the dormitory — the dormitory, whose walls had seen so many classes come and go. Bleachers were erected, a platform was made ready, and chairs were arranged. While the gentle June breezes sang among the leafy branches overhead, and the morning sun shed its soft light upon the vine- covered administration building, the aged science hall, and the ancestral dorm, the members of the class of ' 28 would say goodby to their Alma Mater. But on the morning of the eight- eenth, something happened. At two A. M. it started, and at ten. bucket- fuls were still descending. The chairs and other paraphernalia were moved into the gymnasium: and in that edifice the last class of the Butler of Irvington re- ceived diplomas. Breathing there, because of the crowd, became difficult, and everybody felt hot and sticky. The seniors, when they entered after their march from the administration building, dragged in considerable mud. And large numbers of would-be spectators, unable to gain admittance, went away mum- bling angrily. But the commencement was not a complete failure. The seniors were given their degrees, and that, after all, was what really mattered. And the speeches were interesting and enjoyable: and the Butler band played beautifully.

The Drift staff, wishing to know what they were, called upon Nish Dienhart. But Nish was in a stupor, having fallen on his head again. Marjorie McEIroy, vice-presi- dent, was out running around some- where, Dorothy Ragan, secretary, had headed south, and George Naftz- ger, treasurer, was over behind the fieldhouse playing marbles. So Luke Walton and Evan Walker were ap- pealed to. The class hasn ' t done anything YET, said Evan, laughing merrily, but it ' s going to put on a prom, one of these days. We ' re going to President Aley right now to see if he will let us use the gym. Why of course you may use the gym, boys. said Mr. Aley, looking up from the book he was reading, and smiling broadly. But wouldn ' t a downtown hall be better, because of its central location? For instance, how about the Columbia Club? Oh, goodness, we never could afford such a place, cried Evan. Well, now, said the president, if finances is all that ' s worrying you, I think we can arrange that. There are enough people around Butler who want to see the prom succeed, I ' m sure, to make it a financial success. I, for one, would THE JUNIOR PROM r ' -5 ' S:? y =: be only too glad to contribute one hundred dollars. And I suggest that you solicit other members of the faculty: I knoiu that all of them will wish to help out. And so Evan and Luke did as Mr. Aley directed. Imagine how pleased they were when Mr. Harri- son donated $250, Mr. Gelston $175, Mr. Reavis $120, Mr. Jordan $1,- 000, and Mr. O ' Dell twenty-eight cents. Our only worry now, said Luke, is to keep too many people from buying tickets. In former years, the large crowds at the proms have made dancing difficult. We ' d better put a limit on the number of ticket? to be sold this year. Yes, said Evan. Fifteen hundred will be plenty. And if we raise the price to ten bucks a couple, then the demand won ' t be so great. But even in spite of these pre- cautions, students were frantically trying to obtain tickets after the fifteen hundredth had been sold. And the clamoring crowd in front of the Club on the night of the prom was so large that a riot squad had to be summoned. The prom really was a gala affair. Miss Josephine O ' Neill was elected prom queen. Sweeping down the marble floor on Nish ' s arm, under the soft glow of the ballroom ' s colored lights, she looked, attired as she was in a gorgeous gown of satin and ermine, roo lovely for words. And all of the coeds, for that matter, were sights to behold. Formal dresses of all styles, cloths, and colors blossomed forth that night: and the dance floor seemed a garden of exquisite flowers, VIEWED FROM A DISTANCE Doiothy Rag.in and George Naftzgcr, Secretary and Treasurer. m3 m m : h ' is ' Thompson Abbett Delta Tau Delta Indianapolis No one is better liked by Butler students than Thompson Abbett.

And such nice girls, too, sighed the editor. How can I break the news to them. ' They will be crushed. Throwing on his expensive fur coat and leaping into his handsome Hudson Super-Six (if there IS such ,, , a car), the editor sped to the palatial Marabpth Jean , c ii- t-u u- u . j home or Miss 1 homas, which stands far back from the street, amidst whispering evergreens, on Riverside drive, All deliveries in the rear, please, sneered the butler. But I ' m the Drift editor. Won ' t you let me see Miss Thomas for just a little while? It really is very important. Step in, then, he said. I shall summon her. Marabeth, humming a gay little tune, tripped merrily down the broad marble staircase. Her foot caught on the last step, and she fell flat on her face: but she jumped up quickly and seemed not to be hurt. She was munching a ham sandwich. I know who you are, she cried. You ' re the soap salesman, and I simply can ' t afford any today. No, said the editor sadly, I ' m the Drift editor, and I ' ve come, Marabeth I ' ve come to tell you some bad news. The smile left Marabeth ' s face and was replaced by a look of horror. You didn ' t put my picture in with the Thetas. did you? she screamed. No. But I left you out of the junior panels. At first she seemed about to faint. A shudder passed over her, and she wavered, as though ready to fall. The Drift editor held out his manly arms to assist her, but she brushed him aside. No she said, don ' t help me. I ' m all right quite all right. After a short pause she said, in a voice scarcely audible: It is through suf- fering that one develops one ' s soul. It is through tragedy that one learns the deepness of the meaning of life. Perhaps perhaps it is better that this has happened, after all Then she pointed towards the door. That is all I care to say today, she said to the Drift editor. If you do not mind, I should like to be alone. And the editor, as he stepped out into the night, knew that America need not fear for its future so long as there are among its population women like Marabeth Thomas, Miss Van Wormer did not seem to take it so hard. It ' s your own bad luck, she said when informed her picture had been omitted. If my picture had been put in. you would have sold about four hundred more copies. The Drift editor hurried to the engraver ' s and ordered a special plate of Miss Van Wormer made. Then he wired the printer, instructing him to be able to take care of four hundred additional books. And if those books don ' t sell — well, Miss Van Wormer had better be pre- pared to light out for parts unknown. The Drift editor gets pretty fierce, at times. Once he has an axe in his hand, he is liable to do anything. ■g L ; Both being so good looking, Morris Swain and Betty Jean Davis just couldn ' t help being elected sophomore president and vice-president. What a bore college is, anyway. (Ho, hum.) t§ OPHOMORE comes from the middle English word soph- ime, which meant sophism. Isn ' t that grand! Morris Swain, a member of Delta Tau Delta, was president of this year ' s sopho- more class, until he quit school. Then Frank Fairchild got the job. The Delts presided over the ballot box at the sophomore election: or at least they were nearby— helping out, you know. So many students don ' t know exactly how to vote, and some- body must be interested enough to tell them how. And anyway, pre- siding over the ballot box doesn ' t mean much in dear old Indiana. (No, not much.) The sophomores did lots of im- portant and exciting things this year. Several of them, for instance, got busy one day and sheared a few freshmen. That was real thrilling. Boys will be boys, you know. After the shearers had finished their nefar- ious work, some of the freshies looked like pictures out of the old family album, and were ashamed to appear in public. When the hair-cutting craze had sub- sided, and the sophomores were getting back to normalcy, it was rumored here and there that the barbers ' union was going to file suit. (Miss) Alberta Alexander, sometimes seen with (Mr.) Ed Raffcnspergcr, served capably (oh, so capably) as sophomore secretary, until it was necessary for her to leave school. Then Miss Elizabeth Morris was elected to take her place. Alberta, bless her little heart, had an awfully hard time filling that job, THE FIRST ALL -SCHOOL CONVOCATION AT FAIRVIEW. MR. ALLY AND SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MADE SHORT ADDRESSES. g:? I = M 5- 2. because, what with so many class meetings, and all of them lengthy affairs crammed full of weighty dis- cussions and ponderous arguments, her little hands, which aren ' t very strong anyway, became dreadfully weary, and sometimes she thought she just couldn ' t add another line to those mean old minutes. But she persevered, brave little soul that she is. and so was able to place one more volume on that shelf in the Butler library that is already weighted down with the records of classes of the past. Wendell Shullenberger was class treasurer, and still is, unless he has left town. Wendell took care of the class finances very well, as every- body knew he would. It was finan- ces, by the way, that almost caused a split in the sophomore class this year. One faction wanted to con- tribute two million dollars to the school endowment fund, while an op- posing group felt that that was too much and that a million would be plenty. Even DeForest O ' Dell got mixed up in the wrangle. He butted in on one of the meetings and sug- And good looks also garnered votes for Wendell Shullenberger (treasurer) and Alberta Alexander (secretary) . gested that the class use its surplus to build a skating rink over by the canal. This suggestion caused some one to retort, Yeh, but what if we ain ' t GOT no sur- plus? Then somebody else became aroused, and hit DeForest over the head with a piece of lead pipe, and the meeting broke up in a riot that President Aley later termed utterly disgraceful. In the excitement, the much disputed class funds disappeared. Nobody ever found out what became of them, but it was noticed that for several weeks thereafter Fairchild and Shullenberger were always eating candy and peanuts, and having expensive dates at the Indiana ballroom. THE SOPHOMORE COTILLION WAS HELD AT THE CORNER OF BOULEVARD PLACE AND THIRTY-FOURTH STREET. A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD ATTENDED. v. m ti- ' y I. Josephine Adams.

WE ARE FOR BUTLER {Yes, we really ace.) The Lion Tamers club is composed of a group of boys who felt that Butler was lacking in school spirit and that it was up to them, somehow, to create the proper morale. Blue jackets were purchased by the members at five bucks apiece, and immediately enthusiasm among Butler students for everything concerning Butler was fanned to a white heat. Besides purchasing blue jackets, the Lion Tamers aroused school spirit dur- ing the football season by ushering at the games and putting on funny stunts between halves. At the Washington game, they came out on the field in band formation, some beating tubs and others playing on fluke musical instruments. After straggling across the field playing Hail, Hail, the Gang ' s All Here, they paused in front of the Washington stands and formed a miserable W, while Robert Andry rendered Taps ' on his ungodly trombone. By this time the crowd was hysterical with laughter. The next letter formed was a B, which, like most of the Lion Tamers, was not all there. Frank Schmedel was the leader of this lovely band, and it was hard to tell whether the crowd was actually laughing at his aggregation or at him. Frank ' s broadness, especially when viewed from the rear, is really funny. Mr. Keahey, history professor who often cracks wise but never cracks a smile, was founder of this delightful organization. Young and Innocent s HE freshman class this year was a complete washout. Not a single sophomore was murder- ed or thrown into the canal. Ye gods, freshmen, what do you think canals are for, anyway. ' ' To look at? When the sophs did a little shear- ing, along about the middle of the year, the victims stood by like so many dumb cattle, offering no re- sistance at all. Even that great big brawny Richard Christena let some of his adorable locks be clipped. And when they came to the Phi Delt house in search of Willard Stamper, Willard hid in the cellar. Yes, freshies, you ' ve done pretty poor so far, but you can redeem your- selves by being as hard as possible on the class of 1933. As soon as the newcomers get enrolled next September, start working on them, their heads, and if they show opposition, tally happen to jab out an eye or so or you. Butler has to have traditions, in February at the Columbia club. Jane : the Pi Phis happy and all the other ce had a perfectly lovely time. Lorraine Id. THE FIRST CLASS AT FAIRVIEW GETTING READY TO REGISTER % j sm B% s t3 m mwp i : Well, Young, Anyway The class of ' 32 was one of the largest classes in the history of the school. It had about twice as many members as all four classes put to- gether used to have, just a few years ago. Butler is really growing. Most American colleges are do- ing likewise. People nowadays want degrees almost as bad as they want automobiles. Growth in enrollment figures, of course, lowers college standards: and so some educators have begun to declare that only students truly capable, earnest, and willing to work should be allowed to remain in college. Those who en- rolled because papa and mama made them, or to have a good time, should be excluded. But instead of throwing them out, educators, why don ' t you try to do something with them? How to inspire them to self-development is a problem, but you aren ' t afraid of problems, are you? Maybe they are unambitious and insincere because the society in which they have lived is the same way. Nobody will deny that the mentality of the average modern American college student is pretty low. But to say that that mentality can never improve IS to say that human nature is permanently and hopelessly worthless. If human beings are innately incapable of learning, why not chloroform them at birth and be done with it? You will never solve the problem of mediocrity by avoiding it educators.

Bud Mancy ' s Back! (By the Inquiring Reporter) HILE walking down the main hall of Butler University the other morning, I noticed coming towards me a familiar figure. But no! no! Surely it could not be he! And yet — and yet — it WAS he. Old Bud Maney. good old Bud. whom I had not seen for twenty-three years. My God! I cried, tears streaming down my face. Bud Maney ' s back! I rushed forward and flung my arms about him. You ' re looking just the same as ever, I laughed, trying as best I could to brush away the tell-tale drops from my cheeks and eyes. Still that handsome frame and those broad sho ulders. Sort of thought you ' d come back and visit the Alma Mater, did you, old fellow? Bud gave me one of those playful blows of his, and I went reeling against the wall and knocked a little of the plastering loose. I ain ' t visiting, I GO here. But I haven ' t seen you all these years. A guy don ' t have to hang around a school he asked. Still in school? I ejaculated. Where have you been? He laughed disgustedly, saying, just because he goes there, does he? Well, then, where have you been all these twenty-three years? Over by the canal. I have a cabin there. During fall, winter, and spring I sleep. When summer comes, I fish. Oh, you fish! And how do the fish bite? Pretty well? Not very well. Last summer it was awful. After I had woke up from my long sleep, I started in right away, but before two days had passed, I got so drowsy I had to turn in again, and when I woke up it was almost August, and there wasn ' t much use of trying to do nothing then. Poor Bud, I sighed, it ' s a hard life, isn ' t it! Yeh, a hard life, he agreed sadly, especially for a guy like me, who can ' t never seem to get no breaks. And with that, he left me. I watched his stooped figure as he wandered on down the long hall, in which now the shadows of dusk were beginning to gather. And again tears came to my eyes as I thought of how bitterly life and fate had dealt with this dear friend of mine — this dear friend who, with eyes of inno- cence and kindness, had looked hopefully upon life when he was young, but who had become now, through the blows of fortune, an embittered man. ■ % ■■.:. ' ■■■ ' ■ i iiJ S K i eN ' ' - =.« vy4 s- A Number of Things N Pulvis et Umbra Stevenson is a cynic; he says that life is futile, and that man returns to dust after death and is no more. But where is his cynicism in Travels With a Donkey , in vi hich he is a happy and care- free young man, laughing gaily at the beautiful vi orld about him, laugh- ing gaily though he sees a dread figure coming down the road towards him. In his stories of adventure one notes still another aspect of Stevenson ' s mind; through Treasure Island and such tales he shows himself a romanticist, one who considered life a thrilling and colorful adventure. What writer has a mind so many-sided? As the creator of Markheim , he is an expert psychologist, a master at presenting the tremendous dramas that take place within the human soul. Markheim, by the way, triumphed over his evil nature, so Stevenson must have been an idealist; yet where is his idealism when he describes, in The Body-Snatcher , men who earn their livings by robbing graves? And after reading that gruesome tale, one remembers The Lamplighter , a poem that deals not with damp earth and rotting flesh, but with the loneli- ness of a little child — a little child who, seated at his window at dusk, awaits the arrival of Leerie, the man who lights the street lamps. Stevenson did not restrict his mentality to one channel of thought, but let it roam, and so got not merely one view of life, but many. Modern colleges have adopted the attitude, it seems, that their duty is to teach young men and women, in four years, to be proficient at some one thing: they must make of them good doctors, or lawyers, or journalists, or railroad executives, or chemists, or linguists, or something; that is, they must teach them how to make a living, and as affluent a one as possible. When are institutions of higher learning going to remember that their real mission is to enable their students to appreciate the vastness of life? When are they going to remember that they should be not an end but a beginning? ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Man of Courage PAUL HINKLE Whose couching ability has made Butler quintets admired and feared wherever basketball is played J Butler Athletics FOR many years, followers of Butler athletics have been awaiting the new era. After-dinner speakers galore, at one sort of banquet and another, as well as Collegian editorial writers, have been prophesying and dis- cussing what Butler will do when it gets out to Fairview. And now, at last, the long wait is over. The new era is here. With a stadium that is about as good as any in America, with a fieldhouse that has few equals anywhere, and with a coaching staff that knows how to turn out teams, Butler has become one of the leading athletic schools of the country. Back in 1913 and thereabouts, such a stride forward would have been con- sidered impossible — indeed, no one would have dreamed of such phenomenal development. In those days, Butler was a small college, and competed athletically in the small college class. Irwin field was more than large enough to accomodate the group of spectators that turned out to watch Butler trim Rose Poly (or vice versa). Earlham and Franklin were usually good drawing cards. Those two schools hated Butler vigorously, and Butler felt about the same toward them. After the war came Butler ' s period of athletic depression. In 1919, every football game was lost except one, that a nothing-to-nothing tie with Hanover. The other Blue and White varsity teams didn ' t fare much better, that year. But in the early part of 1920, Mr. Page appeared on the scene. Conditions quickly changed. After losing its first game in 1920 to Wittenberg (after a terrific struggle) , Butler ' s football squad proceeded to knock off every other team on its schedule. Even Franklin, in spite of all that the mighty Kingsol- over could do, was turned back, 21-10. Every year of the Page regime was more successful than its predecessor. In 1922, Butler downed the Wabash Cavemen in a game that will never, never, never be forgotten by Bulldog fans. Griggs ' place-kicking that day was too good to be true: his foot scored all of Butler ' s points. A place kick attempted by Wabash in the last minutes went wide of the posts, and so the score re- mained 9-7. It was that year that Butler surprised the sport world by upsetting the always formidable Illini, 10-7. Many stars were developed by Page. The Duttenhavers and the Hungates, Griggs, Nipper, Middlesworth, Nig Woods, and Paul were a few of them. Page-coached basketball, baseball, and track teams also began to make Butler famous over the land. Victories over Big Ten schools began to be taken as a matter of course by Butler followers. When Mr. Page resigned, it was predicted here and there that Butler would return to the obscure position it had formerly occupied in the sports world. The predictions, however, didn ' t come true. The gridiron team of 1926, it is true, did have a pretty bad season: bu t the basketball team of the same school year reached heights no Butler team had ever reached before. Mr. Clark took charge in 1927. His first football team was fair. His second, the one of 1928, was splendid. He has the athletic plant at Butler working in good order. The year drawing to an end has been successful. Butler has competed in various sports with leading schools from all sections of the United States, and has defeated many of them. No major athletic con- test in which Butler has participated this year has been a walkaway for the opposition. That is somewhat of a record for a school that, as one might say, is just getting its bearings. Yearbooks usually predict successful futures for their schools, even when the future is dark. But, all feelings of school patriotism aside, Butler ' s athletic future really does, at present, look remarkably bright. George Clark. Paul Hinkle. Robert Nipper, Hermon Phillips, Archie Chadd The Boys Who Run Things F ever Butler had need of good coaches, good managers, and good student managers, it does now. That stadium and fieldhouse carry with them great responsibiHty. People won ' t come out to Fairview to watch weak teams perform: nor will they sit in a fieldhouse or stadium which is not in good repair. Crowds are very temperamental. George Clark is a product of Illinois University, where he was all-Confer- ence quarter. He has seen coaching service at Kansas University, Michigan State College, Minnesota University, and in the American Expeditionary Forces. Paul Hinkle, who, as basketball coach, probably does not have an equal anywhere, is from the University of Chicago. He came to Butler when the Page regime was at its height. Robert Nipper, Archie Chadd, and Hermon Phillips are all Butler graduates. Nipper, ' 26, was famous while in school as a three-letter man. Chadd, ' 28, was a floorguard whose like is seldom seen in Indiana or any place else. Phillips, ' 27, is internationally famous as a runner, especially as a member of the United States 400-metre Olympic team.

WMAT POPULAR SPOCT BS THIS? The Gridiron REES were discarding monotonous green for ravishing color: days were becoming shorter. Over the deep forests of Fair- view, a haze hung by day: and by night, stars shone clear and silver through the sharp air. The boys who take the punishment and win the glory were eager to start taking and winning: and the fans that cheer them on were ready to begin cheering. Feeling the autumn tingle in the air, Potsy sent out the clarion call, and soon his stalwarts were on hand, all pre- pared, after a summer of intensive training, to make the first season at the new school the most successful Butler had ever known. And then — good God! — John Cavosie, Butler ' s hope and Ironwood ' s pride, went and got his knee dislocated. What with the North- western game less than two weeks in the offing, John didn ' t pick a very pro- pitious time for this accident to happen. Apparently even Iron wood (Mich.) luminaries can err once in awhile. And then, to make the situation even more gloomy, Nish Dienhart suffered, Herman Geisert, Captam 19Z Football Team.

But this accident, unfor- tunate as it was, at least proved once and for all that Nish has a brain. Wildcats Too Wild (14-0). In the Northwestern game, though Cavosic was forced to withdraw before the end of the first quarter, he had had time to thrill the crowd with his punting, passing, and running. The Butler team, instead of collapsing when he was taken out, fought all the harder; three times during the game it held the Wildcats for downs on the five-yard line: and it did not let them score until the first half was almost over. The Purple ' s first touchdown came after a triple pass that was machine-like in its perfection; the second, pushed over early in the fourth quarter, was a buck from the three-yard line. Though Butler was never dangerously near the enemy ' s goal, Royse, Reyn- olds, and Hinchman several times got away for good gains. One of Curly ' s jaunts down the field lasted for thirty-five yards: and when it seemed, for an instant or so, that he was free, the crowd roared, for the score at that time was only seven to nothing. The safety man got him, however, and Butler ' s last real chance was gone. MAURICE Hosier, who ihe 1929 squad. Franklin and Danville The Franklin game was pretty much devoid of thrills. The Bulldogs would kick off, hold Franklin, receive the punt, and march for a touchdown. Straight football was used almost exclusively. Butler made thirty first downs, MOB ACCUMULATING FOR THE ILLINOIS BATTLE OE.rsi:ia, ' r . FRANKLIN Franklin one; and the year before the teams had played to a seven-to-seven tie! The only real excitement of the day was pro- vided by White, sophomore halfback, who, near the end of the game, made two long runs for touch- downs. The first run lasted about ninety yards, and the second fifty-five or sixty. The crowd cheered lustily for White, who was getting his first taste of college varsity ball. Come to think of it, gaining 140 yards is pretty good for a first attempt. Danville did not offer much opposition, making only one first down to Butler ' s twenty-three. Once more the weather was perfect, and it seemed too bad to waste such a glorious day on a minor game. Down Co the Bears (13-7). If ever there was a game in which one certain player shone out as sensational, that game was the one played in the Bowl on October 17, 1928, be- A PASS THAT FAILED FcLoi BUGG FORCING N. V. OUT OF BOUNDS tween Washington of St. Louis and Butler. The hero of this battle was Hubert Hinchman. Green- field ' s joy and Washington ' s despair; he it was who charged down the field for two touchdowns in the closing minutes of play, thus turning what had look- ed like heart-breaking defeat into glorious victory. Many seasons will pass, most likely, before a contest equal to the Washington game in thrills and excitement is played in the Bowl. Butler athletic history was about to be made when on that cold and dreary October afternoon, the Bears kicked off to our stalwart Bulldogs. The Bulldogs, you will remem- ber, were not supposed to have much of a chance in this game. Many of their outstanding men, hope- lessly crippled, were unable to participate — Allen, Cavosie, Hosier, and Davies included — and several others, Royce among them, were not in good condi- tion; while the gentlemen from St. Louis, who had been resting since their seven-to-seven tie with Kansas FliEBSlMBBIi GE,I5, pAUt AT N.

Is it any wonder, then, that the Butler spectators were amazed at their team ' s brilHant performance? Maybe the Bulldogs were crippled, but they didn ' t act like it. For three periods they fought like hell, holding their strong opponents to seven points; and then, as dark- ness descended, they swept through the Washington defense, like a suddenly ignited fire through dry timber, for two touchdowns. Every man on the Butler squad played superbly. Puett and Fredenberger at center time and again opened great gaps in the Washington line; and very seldom was it that Washington backs got by their position. Walsh. Schopf, Naftzger, and Worth at tackle, and Haggard, Paul, and Geisert at end, the latter in spite of his lightness, smeare d play after play that Washington attempted, and provided splendid interference on many occasions. Glunt, McCarthy, WATFORD: IVlAlir CAVOSIE CAVORTING and Bugg at guard proved that a man can be beefy and at the same time agile: they were in every play. Watford, moved from end to take the place of the injured Hosier, performed at quarter as if that were his regular position. The diminutive Reynolds was his usual fighting self at half. Too much cannot be said about the manner in which Fromuth performed in this game. His punts were all of the long and high variety, and he ran back punts in spectacular fashion. One of his runs, from his own thirty-five yard line to the goal, was ruled back by the referee because of Butler ' s having been offside. Royce ' s plunging was second only to Hinchman ' s. Stubborn Muncie (12-6). On the afternoon of Saturday. November 3, Butler fans went out to the Bowl to see another track meet. Butler had beaten Washington, so Muncie would be easy.

Butler, which had functioned so perfectly the week before, just couldn ' t get going, somehow: while the Muncie boys, who seemed inspired, fought like demons. They made only one first down to Butler ' s sixteen, but when their goal was threatened, they held like so many brick walls. The wonderful punting of Shields also helped the Muncie cause: the ball went about fifty or sixty yards every time his foot connected with it. Suckers But Not Dumb (14-0). November 10, the day Butler had been waiting for all season, finally came. And so did the Illini, Champions of the Conference, accompanied by hun- TWO GOOD BANDS MrNCKivtATxr GLUNT GETS HIS MAN dreds of rooters and one of the largest and most colorful bands that has ever visited Indianapolis. It was dedication day, also; and there was a downtown parade in the morning made up of floats representing the various campus organizations; and just before the game started, flag raising ceremonies were held. The good feeling that has always existed between Butler and Illinois since the two institutions began to compete athletically back in 1922 was strengthened even more when Zuppke and his cohorts agreed to come to Indianapolis and play the dedicatory game. Illinois had not played a non-conference school away from home, excepting Pennsylvania, for many years. Butler also appreciated the fact that Illinois had de- cided to disregard custom and let its band follow the team to an out-of-town game. THE ILLINI CHIEFTAIN •STrtA7JI WoTi.-TH Kxri-rip Jo-n-NSOT r BEARS vs. BULLDOGS ScHO ' PP Only one thing marred the Illinois game, and that was the muddy field. If ever Butler wanted a dry field, it did on that day: but the Weather Man simply wouldn ' t come across. A rain that fell steadily all during the night, turned into a drizzle, when morn- ing came, and lasted almost until game time. A few minutes after the opening kickoff. Bulldogs and Illini alike were completely plastered. The game was bitterly fought from start to finish. Illinois had to battle for both of its touchdowns. If ever the Bulldogs have shown themselves worthy of their nicknames, they did it in this contest. Twice they held their powerful foes for downs inside the five-yard line. One of these courageous stands came just at the end of the first half, the other a moment before the final gun. HEARING TUFTS ' GOAL J X T.SN 4 t jy TUFTS FUMBLES Quakers and Cloudburst (24-0). The weather on the day of the Earlham game was simply ungodly. Cloudburst after cloudburst des- cended from the gray sky. About two hundred fans came out to see the swimming meet; or would you call it a mud slinging contest? The first half was scoreless. Earlham fought hard, and aided by the slime, the punting of Miser, and sever al Butler fum- bles was able to keep the Bulldogs from scoring. In the second half. Butler finally got going. Royse, in spite of the mud, made several wonderful runs. Hosier, as usual, provided all sorts of inter- ference. Watford plunged and plunged and plunged, sometimes sliding in the mud ten or twelve yards with the whole Earlham team on top of him. Allen got into the limelight by scoring two touchdowns, one of them being the result of a sixty-five yard run. ANOTHER BULLDOG Gfl AItKE V.l£yisrOZrT S SSiii IfBAZEX, J r The Tufts Invasion {2.6-3) Tufts, heralded as one of the strong teams of the East, provided hardly any opposition for Butler at all: and the intersectional struggle turned out to be only a practice session for the galloping Bulldogs. And how the Bulldogs did gallop, especially Cavosie, Hinchman, and Royse. This was the first time dur- ing the season that Cavosie really was in condition. The Easterners, who had lost only a game or so in several years, probably wondered how many ail- Americans there were in the Butler backfield. Soon after the game started, the crowd was shouting joyfully at the manner in which Butler was running off its signals. The team went through its for- mations with the precision of a West Point regiment and the grace of a Ziegfeld beauty chorus. It was wonderful to watch those dear, sweet cherubs, William McCarthy and James Puett, march to the line of scrimmage counting One! Two! One! Two! and lifting their dainty little knees high in the air, and then, an instant later, tear like hell into the enemy line. Tick, tock, tick, tock, went the Butler team until the play started: and then, Biff, bam, Biff, bam! As the Butler fans, after the game, went home through the gathering November dusk to their turkey dinners, they felt that the first season at Fairview had been pretty much of a success: Butler, they felt, was really progressing. ..And the players themselves were probably thinking, now that the last game was over, of the food they could eat and the spuds they could smoke and the hot dates they could have without having to worry about the wrath of the irate Potsy Clark, the man who doesn ' t care what NOBODY thinks about him.

NUM6LR TWO The Hardwood HE 1928 - 29 basketball season was composed of seventeen games and two tragedies. And the tragedies, it is strange to say, were both lost by the score of 24-21. The Chicago game was just one of those fluke affairs that even the very best teams can not help running into occasionally. Chi- cago, about the weakest team in the Conference, just happened to have an on night at the same time that Butler was experiencing a slump. If the game had been re-played a day or so later, the Bulldogs surely would have won. (That isn ' t an alibi: it ' s a fact.) Notre Dame also caught Butler on a bad night. When the Bull- dogs went to South Bend three weeks later, they tumbled the Irish 35-16! No team nowadays can claim the national championship, because there are too many universities that are represented by high class quintets. Michigan was gooci this year, and so was Wisconsin, and either of those schools might have defeated the Bulldogs had they met them. But on the other hand, Butler might have been the victor. What we are trying to say is that Butler had as THE STATE CHAMPIONS Maurice Hosier, Alan Fromuth. Frank White, Dana Chandler, Jacob Caskcy. Wee Wilhe McGiU, trainer: Marshall Christopher.

Certainly the Blue and White played the very best teams in the country and defeated all of them, usually winning by large scores. Pitts- burgh, which came to the Fieldhouse with the national championship of 1927-28 and a rec- ord of twenty-seven straight victories, went away appreciating how Napoleon felt at Water- loo. Purdue, who with Indiana, had looked down on the rest of the conference the year before, next appeared on the Butler floor, there to discover that even Murphy ' s height could not carry it through to victory. North Carolina, Southern Conference champs, tried to provide some opposition for the Bulldogs, but didn ' t even do that. Missouri, conceded to be one of the best of the Valley teams, and Illinois were other victims. Three Stars Graduate Bugg is probably about as powerful a backguard as has ever played basket- ball anywhere; at least his equal has never been seen in these parts. He stopped Murphy, and anybody who does that has to know his hardwood onions. He also stopped about every other player that competed against Butler. In spite of his size, Bugg is plenty fast, and can pass and dribble with the best of them. He was a member of the Indianapolis Star ' s all-state squad. THE FROSH SQUAD I. Jarrett. Somers, Tackett.

Whenever he got hold of the ball, he and the rest of the Butler team were tearing down the floor something like a tornado sweeps across a prairie. (That ' s how it really looked to the spec- tators.) Whitey was one of the best shots on the team this year: time and again he thrilled the crowd with his high arched shots from far out on the floor — shots that went thru the hoop without touching the rim. White was picked as all-state forward by the Indianapolis Star. Chandler was probably the nimblest man on the squad. When Dana decided to go under the basket, it wasn ' t any use trying to stop him. Some backguards did try to stop him, and that always meant a couple more points THE NOTRE DAME TRAGEDY ]H[lL,D:EEU.AXrD CkATSTDLtE TI. dHRISTOPHBTl. for Butler, for Dink is a dead-sure shot from the foul line. Panthers and Boilermakers Both Pittsburg and Butler did a lot of wild passing and wilder shooting in the opening game, and in general showed lack of practice: but the game was a thriller, anyway, because it was so close and hard-fought. Soon after the start, Butler led 12-4, but the Panthers rallied, and at the half had closed the gap to 17-16. Then in the second session, the Smoky City boys found themselves, and galloped into an eight point lead, and things looked bad for Butler.

Pittsburgh scored five points in the last minute of play, but five points were not enough. And so the mighty champs had fallen! The Purdue game was sensational in every way from start to finish. Although Hildcbrand went out on personals soon after the opening whistle and in spite of the fact that Murphy had complete control of every tipoff, Butler managed to keep close behind the Boilermakers until near the end of the game and then staged a rally that meant victory. A crowd of about ten thousand turned out for the contest. After Butler ' s last-half drive, which gave it a 28-24 lead, Purdue scored three points. A minute or so remained, and the roof of the Ficldhouse almost blew off. But even Harmeson, who was rushed into the BUTLER ' S GREAT ARENA OF INDOOR SPORTS ASl -By MlTsTGPiMATsr game, couldn ' t connect for a necessary goal. And so it ended, and the Butler fans went wild. Central Normal of Danville, which always turns out good teams, gave But- ler some real opposition. Especially in the first half the Teachers caused the Bulldogs trouble: when that period ended, Butler ' s lead was only three points. But in the second half, the home team got going, and came out on top, 35-22. North Carolina and Others North Carolina should have realized by that time that the Ficldhouse is no place for a championship team. Perhaps news hadn ' t yet reached the South of AN EXTERIOR VIEW ■ ! ■iii f n a Si Mit ' a ii JBiiKl g:? I y =©-] what had happened to Purdue and Pittsburgh. The Southern Conference champs fell 43-20. In the Missouri game Butler was given opposition in the first half, but cut loose in the second period, as usual, to win an easy victory. In spite of all Wooden and his cohorts could do, Franklin fell at the Field- house 34-26, and then obligingly did tha same in its own gym, 41-33. DePauw, usually one of Butler ' s strongest foes, was not very hot this year. At Indianapolis the score was 35-20: at Greencastle it was 34-23. Two years ago Evansville kept Butler from having a perfect claim to the state title. Well, there ' s nothing like revenge. In the game at home, Butler led at the half 39-0. Think of it, readers! Thirty-nine to nothing! Fifty- six to ten is a pretty big score, even for Butler. In the return game at Evansville, our boys had to extend themselves, but even then the margin was nine points. Indiana Central and Earlham were downed 67-19 and 47-19 respectively. mini and Cavemen The Bulldogs had to play their best ball when they went to Urbana. The score, 14-14 at half time, was still tied at twenty-three late in the second period. But then the Butler team showed its great power. Captain White, removed from the game in the first half because of an injury, manfully returned to the lineup and led his mates to a 33-28 victory. Ask Wee Willie McGill, the Blue trainer, if White has intestinal fortitude. Both of the Wabash games of the ' 28- ' 29 season were like the Wabash- Butler games of old. At Crawfordsville it was an overtime affair that had spectators frantic and players exhausted before it was finished. The gam e in the Fieldhouse. which was just as bitterly fought, was witnessed by a huge and wildly enthusiastic crowd. First it v as the Bulldogs and then the Cavemen that were in the lead. Only in the closing minutes did the local boys get away to their five-point margin. It was stated earlier in this article that the Butler team was off form when it was defeated by Notre Dame. That does not mean, however, that the Irish didn ' t deserve to win. They played a wonderful brand of ball, exhibiting a crashing offense and a defense that had the Bulldogs almost helpless. But at South Bend, on March 8, the Butler team showed its real ability. Basketball fans thought they were dreaming when they heard the score. Butler ' s most optimistic followers had not expected such a walkaway. WHITE CASKEY g:? «. I I The Diamond Wee Willie McGill Coach and Trainer of the Diamond Aspiranls The first early- season tragedy in the 1929 Butler baseball camp oc- curred when Jacob Caskey, the Bull- dogs ' stellar first sacker, had his fin- ger broken. That happened in the second Purdue game, and was a real blow to Blue and White dia- mond hopes, for Caskey really knows his baseball. The 1929 team got off to a poor start. Out of its first five contests it could not gain a single victory. Wisconsin was held to a tie, and the first Purdue encounter was only three to two; but the other games were extremely sad as far as the Blue and White boys were concerned. The first Purdue game (April 6) was red-hot. It wasn ' t decided until the end of the thirteenth inning.

Purdue scored two in the eighth and then crashed through in the thirteenth for the winning tally, which came after two men were down. If Hilde- brand hadn ' t had Frank Parrish The other Co-Captain to retire in the ninth because of a sore arm. things might have been different. He whiffed twelve men during his stay in the game. Richard Wolfe, Terre Haute flash, was the hitting star of the Purdue contest. In five times up he got a single, a double, and a homer. That ' s pretty good for a sophomore. The second Purdue game was as bad as the first one was good. The Bull- dogs couldn ' t hit anything, and the Boilermakers hit everything. The score was eleven to three.

But its efforts were in vain. Hildebrand allowed only three hits: and when the game was called, because of cold and darkness, at the end of the ninth inning, Hildebrand, reflect- ing that he had also held Wisconsin scoreless the year before, must have felt a little pleased over holding a Big Ten school without a run for eighteen innings. But if he was stingy with hits, so were Farber and Thelander. Butler got only four hits, and none of them did any good. Suckers On Rampage (Urbana. April 17) The mini were brutal to the Butler baseball team. They scored twenty- one runs, and only let our boys have four.

DePauw Also Hard-Hearted (Greencastle. April 19) DePauw got off to a nine-to-nothing lead before Butler knew the game had started. That was too bad, because thereafter, the Bulldogs more than out- played the Tigers, scoring six runs to their one. Fromuth started a batting rally in the fifth, and Hosier did the same in the eighth, but neither of these outbursts lasted long enough, and the final score was ten to six.

The Cinders 1928 CROSS COUNTRY TG OACH Hermon Phillips ' crop of last year ' s freshmen blossomed into eligibility in the fall of 1928, and a more balanced group of hill and dale satelites never rep- resented Butler. Captain Joseph Sivak led a team composed of Ray Urbain, Berwyn Jones, Ellsworth Sunman, William Marshall, George Wilson, Frank Fairchild, Robert Platte, Mordie Lee and Chester Seeright. This squad practiced every day during the rainy muddy months of October and November, and trotted around a four-mile course at Fairview without complaint. Phillips laid out the route on which his prote- ges trained, and included all the major mudholes and barbed wire fences which could be found on the campus. The team ' s first competition came at the annual Central Intercollegiate Con- ference cross-country meet held at East Lansing, Michigan, November 24. Here the Bulldogs won second place, being nosed out by Michigan State, 36-29. But Sivak either had the longest nose, or could run faster, because he won first place. Brown, of Michigan State, was second in the race, which was the first time he had finished in that order in three years. Jones and Urbain trailed Brown for third and fourth places. Thanksgiving Day found Phillips and his team down at Louisville, where they competed in the annual Y. M. H. A. meet, and won it in a drizzling rain. 19 29 TRACK SQUAD George Nulf, Robert Whisenand.

' S rm B S m nr s r Sivak, who led the field, clipped seventeen and a half seconds off of the former record, which had been held by Coach Phillips. Ray Urbain finished second, beating the old record by eleven seconds, Jones was fourth, Mordie Lee, eighth, and Chet Seeright, ninth. Butler ' s victory at Louisville marked the fifth time that a Bulldog runner had copped first place in this meet during the past six years. With a beautiful campus to run on, no streets or car lines to cross, hills and valleys plentiful, and a coach who knows his game as Hermon Phillips knows it, there is no doubt but that in the future victories for Butler ' s cross- country teams will be taken by the student body as a m atter of course. 1929 TRACK Butler ' s new indoor track, built in the field house by Coach Hermon Phillips last December, eliminated once and for all the old hot-stove-league plan of winter training for Bulldog trackmen. When the cold icy winds of January bit deep into Fairview, Coach Phillips and a promising squad of runners trotted briskly around their eighth-of-a-mile course in the basketball hothouse, little concerned as to what the weather outside was like. Up at Notre Dame on March 9th, a medley relay team composed of Sivak, Seeright, Gardner, and Urbain established a new meet record of 8:26 2-5 for the two mile distance. The boys brought home a beautiful trophy, and left an impression on the record books which will be hard to erase. Seeright and Gardner each ran a quarter, Urbain ran a half, and Sivak, as anchor man, ran the mile. The team tied for sixth place in the meet. Twenty schools from over the country participated in this colorful carnival. THE 19 28 CROSS-COUNTRY ARTISTS Mordie Lee, Robert Whisenand, Berwyn Jones.

' WiiZSENAT tV Butler was represented m the Illinois Relays, held at Urbana on March 16th, by a medley team composed of Sivak, Gardner, Urbain, and Seeright. But fortune was not with Butler that day for Joe Sivak met with an unfor- tunate accident when he developed a twitch in his side. At first it was believed that he had strained a tendon, but several weeks later a doctor defined his ail- ment as chronic appendicitis. Because of Sivak ' s breakdown, the team could not finish the race. But the Bulldogs came back at top speed when they visited the Louisville Inter-scholastic indoor meet on March 24th. Ivan Yeager sprinted out ahead of the mob in the seventy-five yard dash, and the mile relay team composed of Yeager, Seeright, Gardner, and Sivak triumphed in the time of 3; 34.8. Sivak, who was anchor man in the sprint medley, ran the half-mile in 1.59 to give Butler a victory with the time of 3:28.8, and also a new record.

C. A., and his time was 4:35. The splendid track schedule which Athletic Director Potsy Clark and Coach Phillips arranged for 1929 probably accounts for the great interest shown in track this year. With such trips ahead as the Illinois Relays at Urbana, the Drake Relays at Des Moines, and the Ohio Relays at Columbus: dual meets with Earlham, DePauw, and Ohio Wesleyan: and a triangular at Terre Haute with Rose Poly and Indiana State Normal, it is no wonder that the squad got out and worked so hard. And too, the new quarter-mile track being built down in the valley was completed this spring. This cinder oval of regulation college size is one of the best in the country, and probably in future years, some of the collegiate world ' s fastest runners will spike around it.

McCormack, who piloted this year ' s squad. Mc- Cormack not only is a sprinter and a finisher in athletics, but is a leader in the classroom as weU. He completed his four year course in three years, and his average was very close to A minus. He is one of the most respected athletes that has ever donned a blue jersey. Although he is somewhat older than the rest of the men, he did not show this in his competition, and he has been one of the reasons for Joe Sivak ' s sensational running. If it had not been for Mac ' s keen competition, Sivak might never have developed the speed he is now capable of. Frank White, who is a sprinter, will graduate this June. White is as fast on the track as he is on the basketball floor, and his work in the dashes hasi brought him much renown. Bill Bugg, the third senior, confines his track activities to the more burden- some tasks. Bugg throws the shot, and has been heaving the iron cannon ball very well for three years. Another all-around athlete equal to Bugg will be hard to find. Above: Berwyn Jones Below.

Swimming vytIiHEN Butler was in Irvington, its students did very little swimming: ( ya Pleasant Run wasn ' t deep enough, and White River and Fall Creek were too far away. But now the school has a pool of its own, thank you, a pool seventy-five feet long and thirty-five feet wide, and as well con- structed and adequate in every way as any college pool in the country. The 1929 swimming team, of course, did not have a very successful season, since it was the first ever to represent Butler and so was not used to intercollegiate com- petition. Only four meets were held: they were home-and-home arrangements with Wabash and DePauw, and in all of them Butler was defeated. The State Intercollegiate meet, held at Butler in March, was won by Indiana. Bill White. Butler ' s lone entry, did not score any points.

Interfraternity Football SINCE the various teams were more evenly matched than ever before, the 1926 interfraternity series was unusually thrilling; and Harold Vehling added to the general excitement by breaking his leg. After fighting to a bitterly-played scoreless tie in their first encounter, the Delts and Chi Rhos tried it again, and in the latter struggle the Delts came out ahead, 13-6. But they were flopped 13-0 by the Lambda Chis, who had downed the Sigma Nus 19-6. After two tie games with Sigma Chi, Kappa Delta Rho called tails when a coin was flipped, and tails it was. But the Kappa Delts weren ' t so lucky when they met Cecil ' s Phi Delts , who managed to eke out a 12-8 victory. When the Lambda Chis and Phi Delts met in the final game, another tie resulted. The two frats meant to play it off later, but postponements, caused by bad weather, misunderstandings etc., finally got them to the place where they were willing to call it a draw.

Interfraternity Basketball F the eight 1929 interfraternity basketball games, only three were thrilling enough to greatly interest sideline spectators. The Lambda Chi Alpha — Tau Kappa Tau (16-15), Kappa Delta Rho — Chi Rho Zeta (16-12), and Phi Delta Theta — Sigma Chi (15-14) battles were hard-fought from start to finish, but the other contests were one-sided affairs. Sigma Chi downed Sigma Nu, 26-9, and rapped the Lambda Chis, 21-10. Delta Tau Delta put Delta Alpha Pi to sleep, 25-6. The Phi Delts walloped the Delts, 21-8, and sank the Kappa Delts, 21-4. The final game was really worth watching. The lead alternated through- out, and neither team at any time was ahead more than three points. Baskets by Allee and Fredenberger in the closing minutes gave Phi Delta Theta its one- point victory and its third straight championship. SIGMA CHIS. RUNNERS-UP I. Ashley. Arbuckle, Bolte.

College youths as a rule prefer more active and strenuous pastimes, such as football and necking. That is why, even today, many of them feel that golf should be played only by tired business men. The sport at Butler got a rather late start this year, because Urban Wilde, number one man on the team, and Luke Walton, number two- were so busy with the sophomore cotillion and the junior prom that they didn ' t have time to bother with outdoor activities until late in the soring. Henry Gibson, an- other member of the squad, also helped put the cotillion across, and so he too was unable to participate in any meets until a late date. The boys couldn ' t let Beatrice do all the work, could they? Other members of Butler ' s sterling 19 29 squad were Granville (Strongheart ) Geisert, William (Iron Man) Marshal ' and Wendell (Cutie) Shullenberger. The first match of the season was with Purdue: and the Boilermakers showed their skill and heartlessness by winning from the Blue and White by a score of twenty-four to nothing. No Purdue man shot above eighty-five, so you can see what Butler was up against. The varsity was to meet DePauw on May 25, and the freshmen were to com- pete with Culver some time in May. At the time that the Drift went to press, attempts were being made to schedule meets with other schools, but no dates had been definitely arranged. : g : Miss Harmon Women ' s Athletics An Off Year This year, women ' s athletics at Butler were late in starting because of the lack of gymnastic facilities at the new athletic plant at Fairview. Consequently the basketball schedule was not played off. So volleyball, archery, tennis, and swimming formed the chief sports of the year. OFFICERS OF WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Elizabeth FuUenwider, president; Opal Fleming, vice-president: Ruth Louise Robison. treasurer. ■g:? i Kig M Tr The V. A. A. The women ' s Athletic Association of Butler, which promotes among women students greater participation in athletics and more interest in sports, was active this year. However, the awards usually given by this organization to out- standing girl athletes were not given. The usual yearly awards consist of a W. A. A. pin for having acquired four hundred points, the monogram for seven hundred points, and a sweater for one thousand points. These points are gained by taking extra gymnasium classes and entering in the different sports listed. But. as gymnasium classes did not begin until the second semester and the basketball season was eliminated, the girls were unable to earn enough points for the awards. To become a member of W. A. A. a girl must earn fifty points and to remain a member she must gain fifty new points each semester. In this way the members of this organization are taking part in all of the sports that Butler offers its coeds. The Schulmeyer Cup. ' s Due to the enthusiasm of Miss Louise Schulmeyer, instructor and coach of women ' s athletics at Butler, the physical education department has been grow- ing. And now that Butler is out at Fairview, it has grown still more. There has been added impetus during the second semester, and more interest in all sports.

Classes in dancing, fencing, drill- ing, hiking, track, golf, and archery were held. Since the classes were not started until the second semester, there was a great deal of enthusiasm shown and the classes were full. A new system was started this year, whereby each girl allows two full hours a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays for athletics. During this time she enters one class in general physical education, after which she may if she cares to, enter another class specializing in some particular form of athletics. Thus a girl is given a chance to choose part of her athletic program. This system has proved popular and seems to suit the plans of Butler women.

A. pool, were moved to the new Butler pool, where they will be held until the women ' s gymnasium is built. Swimming, though not compulsory, proved to be the most popular sport with all co-eds. Classes were held all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Miss Schulmeyer instructed the classes, assisted by Margaret Bates, student representative. Classes in diving, life-saving, and swimming were offered. Life Savers Those receiving life saving badges were Jane Hall, Katherine Price, and Maja Brownlee. Outstanding swimmers were Jane Hall, Katherine Price, Isabel Layman, Ruth Pahud and Maja Brownlee. Although at present no actual swimming team has been selected, plans are being made for a team next year. It is hoped that meets can be scheduled with the swimming teams of DePauw, Indiana and other universities of the state. THE TENNIS TEAM Ruth Robison, Muriel Adams, Isabel Layman.

R Interviews With Butler Celebrities (by the Inquiring Repoitcr) RALPH HITCH |HEN I went to interview Ralph Hitch, I was naturally a little flustered, because I had heard everywhere that he is very austere. But I determined to put up a bold front. Hello there. Hitch Ralph! I cried, pushing open the door and walking right into his study as if it were my own. With a cry of rage he leaped to his feet. How DARE you call me Hitch Ralph, he snarled, when you know very well that my name is Ralph Hitch? I didn ' t see why I should take any of his sass, so I fired back, kind of haughty like, Oh, who cares what YOU think? You ought to have seen him quiet down then! He was eating some canned cherries at the time, and of course had to offer me a few. Only we had a dreadful time getting rid of them, because while there were two dishes, there was only one spoon, and Ralph kept mistaking my hand for the spoon and putting if into his mouth. Whenever he found that he was biting my forefinger instead of the silver, he got mad, and swore like anything, and I ' m pretty sure that one of the words he said was darn. Isn ' t it disgraceful the way some people can get wrought up over unimportant matters! After we had consumed all the fruit, I asked Ralph what he hopes to be when he grows up. An actor. he replied unhesitatingly. A great big won- derful actor. Upon hearing this remark, I simply couldn ' t keep from bursting into laughter. Well for Heaven ' s sake, I managed to gasp, who on earth ever told you you could act? Alas for this tactless remark of mine. I had no more than uttered it when I wished bitterly that I had kept it to myself. For into Ralph ' s deep blue eyes a hurt look was appearing, and about his handsome mouth a sad smile was playing. And then, as my remorse deepened, he said, quietly, All that I am, and all I hope to be, I owe to Donald H. Gearheart. And thus the interview was ended: and as I went out into the cold and bitter night, I felt that here was a man. Life Is Short VERYBODY knows how Huckleberry Finn, tired of going to school, attending church, washing behind his ears, and saying grace, stole down to the river one night, climbed into a canoe which belonged to some one else but which he was borrowing for the time being, and let himself drift away. And everybody remembers how he met Jim, a runaway nigger, and how they continued the trip south on a raft after losing the canoe in a storm. Huck thought at first that he should return Jim to his rightful owner; but when Jim said he was running away so he could reach free territory, get a job, and make enough money to buy his wife and children, so they could be free, Huck decided to do what he could for him, though he knew God would send him to hell after he had died for helping a runaway nigger. Huck and Jim did their sleeping during the daytime, in the woods along the shore. When night approached, they would propel the raft out into the river, and drift till morning. On calm nights, when the river was broad and deep and still, Huck liked to lie flat on his back on the raft, and look up at the stars, and observe how far away they were and yet how near He did not know where he was going, nor did he care; the river might carry him where it pleased. How good it would be if colleges could instill in their students, somehow, the attitude held by Mark Twain ' s most appealing hero! Persons who fret and worry about trivialities, making of their existences constant strife, fail to ap- preciate life ' s grandeur. Life is a great river, majestically beautiful. On its mighty waters all persons and all things are carried irresistibly along, whither no one knows. But all who are willing to listen will hear a voice out of the deepness of the night; and those who care to look upward will note that the silver stars are very near. G w. j f 0mm3Mm ( MARK TWAIN America ' s Mystic J s There ' s Nothing Like Being Active . OLLEGES nowadays are not at all the boresome institutions they used to vS be. Having realized that students can ' t study ALL the time, they have allowed extra-curricular activities to become a regular part of college life. Students of forty or fifty years ago were expected to do nothing much but read dull books. Such immoral practices as bridge and dancing were taboo: a spelling match occasionally was considered recreation enough for any boy or girl- Then dawned a new era. Professors became more humane. College publi- cations were established; literary societies were formed. And now things have got to the place where activities mean more to students than their lessons. Some people break their necks to get in as many clubs and on as many staffs and committees as possible. And then these activities, besides being entertaining, also are profitable, for they enable students to acquaint themselves as amateurs with various profes- sions which they hope to take up seriously later on. Consider, for instance, ambitious boys and girls who want to become journalists. They try out for the Collegian, and gain valuable experience from working on that daily. Potential Warfields and Bernhardts join Thespis, or Rido, and learn the fine points of play-acting. Individuals who want to find out a little about book-making connect themselves with the Drift. And so on, and so on, and so on, far into the night. Of course there are some mean old grouches who ask when on earth students nowadays find time to study. Well, they are just old killjoys, that ' s all. Anybody with any brains at all knows it ' s lots more fun to cover a basketball game or an open house than to read Cicero. And it ' s far more enjoyable to act in a nice little playlet than to translate a French lesson. Even persons who don ' t indulge in activities find it diverting to watch the various Greek letter societies fight one another for offices in the extra-curricular organizations. This battle, which lasts every year from September to June without a day ' s letup, is really exciting, and sometimes awfully funny. Pledges, of course, arc forced to join everything they possibly can and to run for every office they have the least chance of getting. So-called energetic business men don ' t know what cut-throat competition is if they haven ' t attended college. The war during 1928-29 was as thrilling as ever. The nefarious practices of mud-slinging, ballot-box stuffing, and bribing were as much in evidence as ever. The leading sorority for this year was Alpha Chi Omega, which garnered ninety-seven presidencies, thirty-four secretaryships, and one hundred and three treasurerships. Not far behind, however, were the Delta Gammas. Led by the redoubtable Helen DeVelling. those gals managed to secure offices in sixty-nine organizations. It ' s a great life if you don ' t weaken. The Kappas didn ' t do so well this time, but it is being whispered about in more or less select circles that next year they will have complete control of the Philokurian Literary Society. The Alpha Delta Thetas just rested on their laurels this year. That ever gay and ever charming ' Vennard girl was already running so many clubs that her sisters didn ' t think it would be necessary to try to get control of any more. The Delta Zetas, with their Pearl, felt the same way. But the individual championship for the year goes to the great and only Curtis Hunter. When the editor of the Drift noted how many glossies it was necessary for Curtis to have, and reflected that each one of them had cost the Drift twenty-five cents, he gave a low moaning sound and then swooned. r 1?S MM q;rr : STUDENT AFFAIRS :. ©B 1 Tr Student Council T last, Butler has a student council. Certain frats tried to keep it from coming into existence; but the crusading team of Gisler, Hoffman, and Shepperd refused to be defeated, and the decision was four to one. No one seems to know just yet what its exact purposes and functions are: but its backers claim that it will give Butler a student government that will unify a student body at present rather disorganized. Election activities, and student affairs in general will be watched over, in the interests of Butler as a whole. The Council ' s constitution, drawn up with the assistance of Messrs. Keahey and Slifer, who did everything they could to put the plan before the school, is of such a nature that no one group of individuals can get control of the Council. An amendment may be added to the constitution at any time: if twenty-five per cent of the student body or eight Council members present one, an election must be held, and if two-thirds of the votes are yes, then the amendment is valid — that is, of course, if M. Aley, Le Bon Roi, approves. M. Aley, don ' t forget, can veto anything the Council docs. That will keep it from becoming too autocratic. The Council is composed of a president and twelve members (elected an- nually in May, and installed in June), and two faculty advisors. The presi- dent, while in office, must be a senior: the board will consist of five seniors, four juniors, and three sophs, chosen by their respective classes. That seems fair enough. If a Council member, even the president himself, gets to misbehaving, fifteen per cent of the student body may demand a general election to see if a majority of the students think he should remain in office. Anything to safe- guard the people! The elections this year were held in March. Henry Hcbert was chosen president, and board members were elected as follows: Helen Vennard, Fenley Shepperd, Gerald Bowman, Lucile Summers, and Janice Barnard (seniors) : Ed Raffenspcrger, George Gisler, Maja Brownlec. and Annabellc Parr (juniors) : and Donald Youel, Mildred Sullivan and Cecil Ross (sophomores) .

Student Budget NE day not so long ago. some thoughtful person on the Butler campus — he must have had Scotch blood in him — decided that too many demands for money were being made upon Butler students. Almost every day a new drive was started: organization after organization was trying to work the student body for dough. The thoughtful person, feeling that some- thing should be done about the matter, established the Student Budget. ( That may not be the way the thing started, but it makes a lovely introductory para- graph.) And so now, no drives are permitted at Butler, except the kind automo- biles use. No drives, that is, except the annual Student Budget drive, which is conducted while registration is going on. Students at that time are asked to subscribe to the Budget; and then the Budget, all the rest of the school year, uses the funds collected in supporting campus enterprises that are worthy and yet have no sources of income. The Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., Scarlet Quill, and Theta Sigma Phi are among the organizations that receive assistance. Occasion- al missionary expeditions to Lafayette and Bloomington also are financed by the Budget, although, according to Miss Mauzy. much more money will be needed before any work of lasting value can be done in those primitive com- munities. It is the suggestion of the Drift that the Budget forget about those two places and consider the want and privation at its own school. Why doesn ' t it help Delta Tau Delta once in awhile. ' ' If anybody ever needed financial assistance, that gang does. The 1928-29 Butler student directory was aided financially by the Budget; and the Religious World Education lectures, delivered here in February, also were made possible through its cooperation. Now don ' t forget, boys and girls, to subscribe to the Budget. Then no- body else at Butler can ask you for money, except the Fairview Follies, Men ' s Union, Women ' s League, the bookstore, the Campus Club, Mr. Wilson, the Geneva Stunts, the athletic department, Thespis, the Drift, your fraternity, Curtis Hunter, and the Indianapolis Street Car Company. Hmily Mauzy, chairman; Elzic Partlow, first vice-president: Kathryn Haiigb, second vice-presi- dent; Oswand Parsons, treasurer; Josephine Adams, secretary. t y OJ iSmsEmS rWs m m f : - .■ I Men ' s Union FjEN ' S UNION is another one of those clubs that seek to create a feeling ' ■1- of democracy and good fellowship among Butler students. It was organized for that purpose in 1925, and if the desired comradeship is — ' not yet in evidence in our halls, the Union hopes that some day it will be. Hope springs eternal, you know. Every man in school may belong to the Union — if he forks over the necessary buck. Until a few months ago, dues had to be renewed at the start of each year: but now one dollar takes care of a member as long as he remains in school. With the money it obtains from these assessments, along with proceeds from its annual Fairview Follies, the Union is striving to create a fund with which it can some day erect on the Butler campus a Men ' s Union building, which will serve as a headquarters for all men students — where all eds will be welcome at all times. Several all-school mixers are given each year by Men ' s Union and it usually throws a dance or two. The mixers are given especially for freshmen; the rhinies have a chance to become acquainted with one another at these affairs, the Union feels. It hopes, starting next year, to hold these all-school gatherings every month, and to arrange programs for them so desirable that every man in school will want to be on hand. The Union ' s biggest annual undertaking, of course, is the Fairview Follies. This show, first presented in 1928, was given in 1929 at Keith ' s: and the audiences at the three performances apparently considered it a red hot revue. The dancing and singing and wisecracks were plenty good: and the leads and choruses handled themselves expertly. Men ' s Union is eagerly looking forward to next fall. New pins have been chosen, a new constitution has been drawn up, and a successful year is antici- pated by the governing board. Wallace Sims, president; Clyde Hoffman, vice-president: Von Scherb treasurer. M Women ' s League O matter what the moral standards of Butler women are now, they will get better as the years pass, for one of the purposes of Women ' s League is to raise them. That is a pretty stiff purpose, and will require considerable effort on the part of the Leaguers, but they can do anything, especially when Helen DeVelling is their president. Helen is very quiet and naive and all that, but you will notice that she gets things done. The Melting Pot bazaar and dance were more successful this year than ever before, thanks to her. If you tell her that, of course, she will lower her eyes, blush modestly, and mur- mur, Oh. ... it was my committees that really put the thing over . . . But you will know, nevertheless, who was responsible. Besides its attempt to improve Butler women ' s morality, the League tries to bring them closer together and to interest them in school activities. But why does it have to do the latter? They are so interested in activities already that they hardly have time to get their lessons. But are lessons any more important than activities? cried Virginia Flowers, secretary, her eyes blazing wrathfully. Are they indeed! angrily echoed the Misses Hampton (vice-president) and Barnard (treasurer). Any woman in school may belong to the League. May , by the way, is a rather weak word in this case, as you would agree if you could see the League conduct one of its membership campaigns in the Butler halls. (The taxes are only fifty cents, so no girl can say she is too poor.) Charles Bolte and Robert Stearns, funny little fellows that they are, tried to join by paying only one cent each: but the League was too shrewd for them, and foiled their nefar- ious plans. Sigma Chis just can ' t seem to get away with anything. A sophomore scholarship is awarded annually by Women ' s League to the girl who made the highest average in her class during her freshman year. The 1928-29 recipient of this award was Gladys Hawickhorst. Helen DeVelling. president; Virginia Hampton, vice-president: Virginia Flowers, secretary; Janice Barnard, treasurer. g . 1 Y. M. C. A. (Young, Mild, and Careful Always) NE of the purposes of the Y. M. C. A. is to establish a truly democratic spirit among Butler men. Well, now, listen here, boys, what do you mean by that? Are you insinuating that Butler men at present are snobs? But of course you aren ' t, are you! What you mean is that they ' re just not as well acquainted with one another as they might be. . . Yes, yes, we understand. . . But the Y has other purposes. Its industrial investigation group devotes itself to a study of present-day industrial and labor systems, attempting to criti- cize them and to formulate new systems that might be more beneficial to society. Purposes like that are really worthwhile, and if more people were interested in such subjects, the world might be a little better off than it now is. In February, the Y , in cooperation with the Y. W. and Dean Putnam, brought to Butler a group of well-known lecturers, who conducted a two-day Christian World Education conference. Any Butler student could attend the lectures, and many did. There is more than one way of getting out of classes. The Butler Y. M. C. A. is divided into three groups: and each of these meets weekly to discuss various books and various problems, most of them of a religious nature. Sometimes speakers are brought to the gatherings; and even faculty members condescend to drop in once in awhile and air their views. And there are the worship periods, held with the Y. W. C. A. every Friday noon. One of the Y ' s biggest yearly events, of course, is the Geneva stunt day. What would Lake Geneva do for Butler representatives if it weren ' t for those wonderful stunts? Some of the playlets that the frats put on could scarcely be termed religious; occasionally, in fact, they tend to be risque; and some have even had to be censored. We can ' t help wondering if the Y delegates, while enroute to Wisconsin, don ' t sometimes feel a slight tinge of conscience at the thought of how their expense money was raised. I.

Wild, and Craving Action) HE words in parentheses must not be taken seriously; they were only put there for fun. Because the Y girls are not, of course, wild at all. And if they crave action, it is only action of the nicer sort, such as holding interesting meetings and discussion hours for all Butler girls, and putting on Geneva stunt days. Geneva stunt days occur twice a year — once in the fall and once in the spring. The various sororities offer stunts of one sort and another, and the money collected from these performances is used to send Y delegates to the annual summer conferences at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The Geneva stunts were presented this year at the Ritz. A representative from the Y. W. C. A. student industrial group is sent yearly to the University of Wis- consin summer school. The Y is up and going all year long. It sponsors all-school social func- tions, quiet hours, weekly discussion meetings, and a second-hand bookstore. The bookstore this year, it is said, cleared fifteen dollars. Fine, girls! Keep it up! The quiet hours are devoted to prayer and religious talks and forums. At the weekly meetings, well-known speakers discuss significant current questions. Several of the quiet hours were held this year in cooperation with the Y. M. The Y put on a doll show this year, just before Christmas. The various campus organizations contributed handsomely dressed dolls: and then, after the inevitable prizes had been awarded, the dolls were donated to children at the Riley hospital. A peace pageant was staged by the Y in March, which depicted human- ity ' s eternal desire to find peace. In this pageant, various nations of the earth were represented by various girls. Which reminds us that a prominent Indianap- olis lecturer, whose body is known for its generous proportions, once took the part of Indiana in a pageant similar to the Y ' s . After climbing into her costume, she asked her husband if she looked like Indiana. You look, he replied, like the whole Northwest Territory. I.

Otherwise, how would the big wide world KNOW about us? There are some mean old grouches, no doubt, who might ask what difference does it make whether the world knows about us or not: but they, of course, have never listened in on programs arranged by the inimitably vivacious and incomparably original and inexhaustibly energetic Mary Lou Clark. Mary Lou ran the radio bureau pretty much to her own liking this year, because she and Naomi Guild were its only members: and Naomi, of course, would never think of doing anything contrary to her superior ' s wishes. Big Bertha has a way about her that com- mands respectful obedience. (Not that she would really strike anybody, or anything like that.) The Bureau was founded in 1927, or 1928, or somewhere along there, for the purpose of informing the radio public about Butler ' s various activities and to acquaint that same tolerant public with Butler ' s superb talent. During its first year, it did not function so well as it might have, for its various members showed a disposition to let somebody else do the work. That is a habit mem- bers of committees and boards have, you know. And then the school itself didn ' t give so very much cooperation. The professors, especially, were unwill- ing to help out: most of them, when asked to contribute short talks, simply refused. The mean old things! But this year, business picked up a little bit. Though allotted only half an hour a week (that usually on Monday evenings from 5 to 5:30) Miss Clark managed to send some very nice programs over the air. The glee clubs and the band took part occasionally, and various Butler students offered their services at one time and another. If what Mary Lou says is true, (and of course it is!) the listeners-in have been delighted with Butler ' s performances, and are eager for more. The Programs were broadcast over WFBM. the Indianapolis Power and Light Company station. MARY LOU CLARK. President: NAOMI GUILD, Secretary. S: : ? ! Speakers Bureau ND now Butler has a speakers bureau. It was established recently by the public speaking department, which is always doing something like that. Its official name is The Speakers and Entertainers Bureau of Butler University. That is rather an imposing title, isn ' t it? The bureau consists of three Butler students and the head of the public speaking department. As you will notice if you glance below, Curtis Hunter and Clyde Hoffman are two of the student members: the third one this year was Phyllis Nordstrom. Her picture would have been in the panel too, only she didn ' t feel like going down to have it taken. If you want to turn to the beauty section of this book, however, you will find her there. (How is that for free publicity. Phyllis?) The speakers bureau has a purpose, which is to provide speakers, play direc- tors, impersonators, interpretive readers, play casts, and producers for any or- ganization that needs them. Any organization that doesn ' t need them will not be provided. Letters are mailed to churches, business men ' s groups, and similar organizations, in which the bureau describes its wares and tells how to obtain them. Only performers with real talent, by the way. will be sent out. That will be a pretty good policy: it will prevent any hard feelings on the part of the bureau ' s patrons. The bureau hopes to have its service eventually cover the entire state of Indiana. Matters will be expedited by a card index file which the bureau is preparing, and which will contain, along with the names of all students in the public speaking department, lists of their talents and abilities. If the Young People ' s Society of the United Brethren Church of Bargersville, for instance, wants the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, these cards will quickly take care of the situation. CLYDE HOFFMAN. CURTIS HUNTER. PROFESSOR CLAUDE SIFRITT. £ = g y ; T Harold Winsi.ow. Director The Men ' s Glee Club HE handsome boys pictured on this page are members of the Butler Men ' s Glee Club. Twice a week they assemble for their warbling exercises; and for their trouble they are granted one hour of college credit a semester. The Glee Club is known in certain circles as the last refuge for ineffective pledges. When the Collegian ' s staff is so full that it simply can not take care of another would-be reporter, the despairing rhinies, fran- tic for an activity, turn to Mr. Winslow. And Mr. Winslow, we are glad to say, is such an able director that he can get music out of any- thing — even out of a pledge. Hugh Thatcher, the boy with that rich bass voice, is manager of the organization, and Henry Gibson is secretary. Edward Bolin served this year as librarian. The club interests itself mainly in concert work. Concerts are given at various city churches from one time to another, out-of-town concert tours are taken whenever possible, and radio broadcasting is done. That is, the boys manage to keep pretty busy. The 1928-29 enrollment was about thirty-five. Late in the spring a con- cert tour was taken through southern Indiana. No casualties were reported. The boys are pretty agile, you know, and so are able to dodge most missiles. A tomato stain was noticed on Henry Hebert ' s tux; but he said that was caused by some soup he spilled at a banquet he attended several years ago. I. Frank Messersmith, Herbert White.

When first organized, a few years ago, its ranks were so thin that high school boys had to be enrolled to help create the necessary volume; but now it numbers sixty pieces, and the music it renders as it marches across the football field, or as it heads a downtown parade, is really worth listening to. Mr. Vandaworker, director. Henry Hcbert. student director, and Ivan Yeager, drum major, apparently know their onions. The Band boys received new capes last fall, money for which was raised by popular subscription among students and friends of Butler. Mr. Peter C. Reilly also was kind to the boys. He made it possible for them to go to North- western, where they performed nobly for the Purple crowd. If the Band behaves itself all summer, maybe Mr. Reilly will send it to Chicago again. (There ' s nothing like hinting.) A three-day concert tour through northern Indiana was taken by the Band in February. If reports concerning this trip are true, all the towns visited were more than pleased with our musicians. Soloists and a male quartet went along on this tour, to make things even more successful. Under the direction of Edward Kimberlin. a group of bandsmen compiled and put into book-form, this year, a complete history of their organization. A banquet, to be annual hereafter, was given by the Band in February, at which Mr. Vandaworker, Mr. Reilly, and senior members were honored guests. The latter, in recognition of four years of faithful service, were awarded sweaters. A fraternity. Beta Mu Sigma, formed within the Band recently, is petition- ing Kappa Kappa Phi, the only national band frat in existence. Its officers are: Thompson Abbott, president: George Piercy. vice-president: Owen Calvert, secretary: Walter Geisler, treasurer; and Edward Kimberlin, petitioner. THE BUTLER BAND, KIKE THE DEVIL. HAS HORNS IN THIS PICTURE IT IS SEEN GETTING READY TO TOOT THEM The 1929 Drift HEN the 1929 editor and staff consider the Drifts that have been published in recent years, they arc almost afraid to present their book to the school. Why did Joe, Fenley, and Wilson have to turn out such good books, anyway? In doing so, they made the situation for us this year awfully dif- ficult. But we have done our very best to give But- ler students a Drift that will please them all: we have tried to edit for them a book that they will enjoy as much in later years as they do now. Of course the 1929 Drift has many defects — thousands of them, in fact. And mistakes of one sort and another are to be found, probably, on every page. But do not be too ready to criticize and complain, you who discover these errors or are the victims of them. There are so many details to be taken care of when a Drift is assembled that mistakes are simply bound to occur. One thing you will notice is that the book is out on time: at least it ought to be: lord knows we worked hard enough to have it so. Night and day, hour after hour, we labored from September till June, that you might have your Drifts to look through and read at commencement time.

There couldn ' t be. All the members were willing and eager to work whenever requested, which was often: and none of them ever grew discouraged, even when the tasks that had to be performed became extremely irksome and difficult. Internal strife developed only once or twice, and on those occasions, peace was quickly restored when the editor hastened out and purchased cokes and candy. Thank God for Coca-Cola and Baby Ruths! Publishing a yearbook is a job whose tre- mendousness can be appreciated only by persons who have attempted it. Those who have not been connected with such a venture simply can- not imagine the labor that must be performed and the difficulties that must be overcome. The task, for instance, of forcing Sigma Chis to go down and have their pictures taken is enough to drive an ordinary staff crazy. This year ' s editor will never forget— how could he?— his incomparable staff. Nor will he fail to remember the efforts of Mr. Stum and Mrs. Caldwell to make his book a success. Time and again they went out of their way to help get the Drift out on time. After having 2,500 glossies ready for mounting by Christmas, they proceeded to show the same encouraging cooperation all the rest of the year Mr. Hudson and Noble Ropkey and their respective staffs also Merle simply insisted that he receive a special picture on this page. were eager at all times to lend a helping hand.

S fPM f ] The Tower VEN at Butler there are a few highbrows, and it is they who publish Butler ' s literary magazine, The Tower. The Tower, whenever it comes out, contains only literature of the higher sort. It does not appeal to the common herd that the Collegian and Drift cater to, but to the passionate few that can appreciate art, such as Bruce Savage and Wilho Maki. Essays of one sort and another, poetry, plays, and short stories are included in the Tower. So you can see for yourself that this little magazine offers all sorts of opportuni- ties for Myra Auerbach. The Tower, of course, has a purpose, which is to inspire and encourage creative writing at Butler. But the Collegian, through its literary column, tries to inspire the same sort of writing, and yet look at some of the stuff it prints! Why doesn ' t The Tower have for a purpose the stifling of creative writing among Butler students. ' The Tower was established in 1927 by Don Sparks, Louise Eleanor Ross, and Austin Johnson. During its first year of existence it was known as the Cocoon; it took that name because it hoped to develop, from a humble beginning, into something fine and beautiful. It wanted students literarily inclined to have a chance to express themselves. This year it assumed its new name, feeling the latter would be more appropriate to the school ' s new surroundings. A sketch of the Jordan Memorial building tower forms the cover design of the magazine, which has now about fifty pages in each issue. Mrs. Wesenberg is faculty sponsor. In the 1928 November issue of The Tower, Coquette at Kearney ' s ap- peared. This short story, written by George Lloyd, received, at the annual Culver literary field day exercises of 1928, the Maxwell-Aley first prize of seventy-five dollars as the best short story submitted by a college student.

Greek letter organizations were not much in evidence at Butler in those days: but even then the group instinct was strong in human nature, and Philo and its brother and sister literary societies satisfied that instinct for Butler students. It is said that Philo originally allowed only men to belong; but later it decided to admit women. Women, it seems, are necessary, even in a literary society. Philo has been rather inactive this year. Not many meetings were held, because the various members were so busy with other matters that they couldn ' t find time to get together. But next year, things will be different. Everybody by then will be used to Fairview, ancl will feel more settled in the new school. Philo will choose a regular meeting room, and traditions already more than half a century old will be continued. The usual weekly meetings will be held, at which brilliant poems, short stories, book reviews, biographies, and essays will be read. There will be debates, too — some extemporaneous and some prepared beforehand. Those in whose hands the destinies of Philo rest at present hope to make of it an extremely exclusive organization. That is, they want its membership to be composed only of persons who are sincerely fond of worthwhile literature and genuinely interested in worthwhile writing. Philo does not wish to teach its members how to succeed at something in later life: it does not want to instruct them in the art of selling short stories to magazines. Its purpose is to acquaint them with the great English and American writers. I. Rodney Perkins, Eugene Underwood, Eublie Wright, Don Sparks. Ruby Davis. Thomas Arnold, George Buskirk. II.

To begin with, the Collegian this year refused to buy a line of advertising in the Drift, and, on top of that, wouldn ' t give one cent for its panels. It was said by those in charge of Butler ' s daily (except Saturday) that the Collegian is not a school activity and therefore should receive its panels free. The Drift staff at first decided to leave the Collegian panels out of the book. Goodness knows it is hard enough to publish a year book, even when all the school organizations cooperate; and when one of them becomes antagonistic, then the job is simply terrible. But after its anger had subsided, the staff thought the matter over more care- fully, and finally concluded to give the Collegian its usual allotment of two pages. For the various editors, who have worked hard all year to put out a good paper, and the numerous reporters, who have labored faithfully that there might be enough copy to fill up the pages, deserve some credit and recognition. And the Collegian did. after all, give the Drift two lovely ads, for which we were very grateful. The Collegian, like the old gray mare, ain ' t what it used to be. Not so very many years ago it was a weekly, and a rather irregular weekly at that — a WEAK weekly, one might say. Later, when Butler started to grow, the Collegian did too, and Butler students began to receive copies of it every day except Monday. And then, at the start of the school year just now drawing to a close, the first year at the new Butler of Fairview, the Collegian blossomed forth as a real newspaper — a newspaper with leased wire service, large airy offices, and all that.

The staff had probably been working on it for weeks. In that edition, the paper announced its new policy; it hoped, it said, to serve not only Butler college, but all of the north side of Indianapolis, and it would use hereafter news sent over the United Press wires. And so, from September on, the Collegian came out every school day. And what is more, copies were mailed to the entire student body throughout the first week of Christmas vacation. That meant a lot of extra work for the staff. This year, by the way, was the Collegian ' s forty-third in existence. The 1929 Drift should like to ask the Collegian one personal question. WHY must United Press news or any other news except Butler news, be printed in our college paper? Butler students, the Drift feels, arc not much interested in New York murder trials, or Chicago gang killings. Or if they are interested in such things, they can read real accounts of them in the News or the Times or the Star. Shouldn ' t a college newspaper, after all, deal with college affairs? Somebody has to stand the expenses of the Collegian. Now that the paper is larger, the expenses are larger. Isn ' t the extra expenditure a waste of money? And who, we should like to know, is shouldering the expenditure? Our plea, therefore, is for a smaller Collegian, one with fewer columns but all of them made up entirely of news relating to Butler and Butler people. Per- haps, then, more copies could be printed: and that would enable all Butler students to have a copy every morning, and not just the five or six hundred that know best how to crash through a struggling mob.

WONDERFUL NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY. Henry Hebert. Prominent in Butler Social Circles. Writes Own Story of Remarkable Recovery. CAN never fully express to the manufacturers of OMO-GLAPHENE, wonderful new medicine, my gratitude at the manner in which their marvelous remedy brought back to me the good health which I had begun to fear was lost forever, said Henry Hebert, popular Butler youth who resides at 6666 Indiana avenue, in a letter sent to the OMO-GLAPHENE company recently. Mr. Hebert, after being poor and sickly and in almost constant pain, as the result of various ailments with which he was suffering, for almost twenty years, is once more enjoying perfect health. I used to be so weak, the letter continued, that I would have to crawl up and down stairs on my hands and knees, and I simply could not do my housework. The children used to cry and fret because I didn ' t pay any attention to them, and sometimes I became so vexed at them that I was ready to scream. I tried forty- seven patent medicines, all to no avail — nothing seemed to help me, and more than once I felt like ending it all. I couldn ' t sleep at nights, and suffered every day with a terrible headache. Then some of my friends began advising me to take OMO-GLAPHENE. It had helped them, they said, and would surely help me. So I bought a bottle, although I didn ' t have much hope that it would do me any good. Imagine my surprise, upon taking the first dose, to feel strength coming into my feeble limbs. My rheumatism soon left me, and so did my neuralgia. Before the second bottle had gone, I was doing the housework again, and the folks said they hardly knew me. I was so happy and gay. I am digesting my food without any trouble now and I can never thank the makers of OMO- GLAPHENE enough for what they have done for me. We keep a bottle in the house at all times now and are also endorsing it to our friends. (Signed) Henry Hebert. YOU, too, can enjoy perfect health. YOU . too, can recover from ailments of long standing. OMO-GLAPHENE was invented for YOU. Buy a bottle of this marvelous remedy today. It cures all sorts of stomach and digestive troubles, falling hair, water on the knee, leprosy, scarlet fever, measles, rheuma- tism, and sore throat. It also is excellent when used as a furniture polish, and is a sure exterminator of rats and other vermin. On salads it is divine, and used in soups it is a wonderful seasoning. Buy a bottle today, before the supply is exhausted. On sale at all news stands. — Adv. s: sy =i Der Deutsche Verein ER DEUTSCHE VEREIN, like Phi Kappa Phi, really uses discrimina- tion in choosing its members. Only boys and girls who know their German are asked to belong: and that doesn ' t mean perhaps. Mr. and Mrs. Baumgartner, who have considerable opportunity to observe the students of the German department, are able to select for the organization per- sons who are not only apt at that subject, but genuinely interested in it, as well. Membership is limited to twenty-five. All this, of course, must not give you the impression that Der Deutsche Verein meetings are dull and boresome. To hear some of the members talk about them, you would suppose they were just the opposite: plays are given, songs are sung, and interesting dialogues are carried on. And then there are the inevi- table club papers: but German Club papers must be interesting, because all things pertaining to Germany are discussed: and if there is any country rich in tradi- tions as well as culture, that country is the Rhineland. Wagner and Kant were Germans, you remember, as were Goethe, Heine, and others. Every year at holiday time, Der Deutsche Verein indulges in a Christmas party, usually at the home of the president, whoever he or she happens to be. Good old-fashioned games are played, and good old-fashioned German re- freshments are served, and. of course, a Christmas tree is usually standing around somewhere to make the atmosphere even more Christmas-like. Another yearly event of the club is a play presented before a public audience. The 1929 production was Einer Muss Heiraten. which means, One of You Must Get Married. That sounds pretty spicy, but it was probably quite proper. We must not forget to mention the German club picnic, held every June, which is looked upon by the members as their official farewell party. 1928-29 officers were Susanna Monninger, president: Albert Marshall, vice- president: and Adolph Emhardt, secretary-treasurer.

Ye gods, how Butler people like to establish clubs I . . But this organization, since it has no ideals, and is not founded on mterest in school activities or personality, really accomplishes a few things. It has, at its meetings, which are held at the homes of the various members on the third Thursday of each month, programs relating to all things Italian. Italian plays are acted out, dialogues are presented, papers are read — all this in Italian. What must it sound like, anywayi And is macaroni served afterwards. It ought to be. Any club with the name Circolo Italiano ought to serve macaroni. (Or is it spaghetti that they eat in Italy. ' ' ) Mr. and Mrs. Moncada are the sponsors of the club. Mr. Moncada brought it into existence. The president is Mr. John Hughes, the vice-president Dorothy Duesenberg: the secretary-treasurer Mrs. Boyd Gurley. With such capable of- ficers and sponsors, how could the Italian Club go wrong? Its purpose is to create and sustain an interest among Butler students in all things pertaining to Italy. That is a rather ambitious purpose, because it ' s pretty hard to interest Butler students in anything, even football. But the purpose, if ambitious, is also noble. Italy is one of the world ' s most important countries, both historically, and culturally. Ever since civilization began, it has held an important place in world affairs: and the ranks of art would be sadly thinned if deprived of the men that Italy has contributed to them. And of course there is Mr. Mussolini to be considered. The goings on of that man alone offer enough material for one club to study. Some people say he is doing what is right, others say no. Some believe he is doing Italy good; others say he is detrimental to his country ' s interests. But at any rate he is im- portant enough to receive some attention. I. Professor Moncada.

Math Club EOPLE who take math courses in college, and then, not satisfied with the amount of mathematics they obtain in class, form a club for the purpose of knowing more about the subject, ought to be analyzed, for surely there is something wrong with them. And yet the members of the Math Club seem to be fairly normal persons. Perhaps they are queer just in that one way. Mildred Dirks was president of the club this year. Dorothy Hinton. secre- tary, and Esther Quick, treasurer. Miss Dirks reports that all the meetings were very quiet and orderly: but that isn ' t nothing to brag about — because how could they have been anything else. People may get excited over whether or not a certain person is to be pledged to their organization, and hurl mean remarks at one another, but how on earth could they be expected to become even ruffled in discussing the limitations and possibilities of a triangle? Mr. Johnson is faculty sponsor. The meetings, which are held once a month, are both social and instructive: that is. a little bitter is mixed in with the sweet. A paper pertaining in some way or other to mathematics is usually read: theories new and old are discussed, biographies of famous mathematicians are presented, and astronomical opinions are aired. Well-known speakers are often invited to the gatherings to voice their views on things mathematical. This year, by the way, should have been a banner one for the club, what with Mr. Einstein bringing out that new theory of his. which has caused many people such mental distress. Something ought to be done about Mr. Einstein. If something ISN ' T done, we common people may wake up. one of these mornings, to discover that yes is no and that two times two is six. if approached from a direction leading the other way. Ye godsl do these mathematicians want to get us to the place where we ' ll all have to be put in padded cells? I. Miss Juna Lutz. Esther Quick. Dorothy Hinton. MjrRarct Barker. Martha Nutt.

Journalism profs. tfm Sphinxes, dance chairmen, gliders, etc.) running at large on the Fairview campus, it is Httle wonder that Butler has a zoological society whose mem- bers are taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity to observe these animals in their native haunts. The Zoology club was organized in 1927 and is an outgrowth of the old Butler Biology club. Unlike the Lion Tamers and Lambda Chi Alpha, it is an exclusive organization, only students of zoology being eligible for member- ship. The club aims to stimulate among students, especially freshmen, interest in practical and theoretical research in zoological science. To accomplish this, the club is divided according to classes into separate sections which meet once a week. At these sessions, papers prepared by the members are read, and the latest fads in the gentle art of dogfish slicing are talked over. Once a month the various sections meet together and are addressed by some authority in the zoolo- gical field. Harry F. Dietz. assistant state etymologist, and Dr. Walter F. Kelly, former Butler school physician, were among the speakers this year. One of the major projects of the club is the annual award of a scholarship to the Marine Laboratories at Woods Hole. Massachusetts, to some student who has exhibited unusual interest and ability in zoological studies. Robert Pitts, who won this scholarship last year, is president of the club this year. Members of the faculty of the department, especially Professor Bruner. act as sponsors of the club. (Speaking of zoological dissections, we regret to say that the photographer accidentally performed one on Charles Sohl, who. you will see, is only half in the picture.

It was organ- ized in 1927, for the purpose of giving students who are really interested in such matters a chance to know a little bit more about international goings-on than can be learned in the college classroom. In the classroom, you know, things that are really important often cannot be discussed. A professor who has a family dependent upon him sometimes cannot say everything he feels like saying. But in these clubs, a person may express himself as he pleases, without fear of getting discharged, expelled, or arrested. If the members of International Relations club are fairly intelligent — and, of course, they are — and fairly sincere — and they are that, too — then their organization must have some rather exciting meetings: because the international situation, at present a mess, instead of becoming better is constantly getting worse. Let us hope that the members of International Relations, besides being intelligent and sincere, are honest and courageous: for their very own country, as well as the European nations, seems to be doing a great deal to create international discord. After you have been taught, all the way through grade and high school, that your country has always been, is, and always will be right in its various actions, it hurts to be told that that, perhaps, is not so. But is it not possibly true that a conception of what one ' s country might be is more patriotic, as well as more important, than a conception of what one ' s country is? International Relations club was organized primarily for students of the history and political science departments, but anybody may belong. Mr. Beeler, who has seen considerable consular work abroad, is sponsor. Noon meetings are held weekly: and the public is invited occasionally. Speakers who know their oats about foreign affairs are sometimes asked to attend the gatherings to express their views on topics of current interest. 1928-29 officers of the club were Von Scherb, president: Fenley Shepperd, vice-president: Vera Cox, secretary, and Curtis Hunter, treasurer. I. Louise Ross. Bertha Furstenburg. Helen Vennard. Mrs- Boyd Gurlcy. Mardenna Johnson, Constance McCullough, Adele Rababa. II. Professor Toyozo Nakarai. Fenley Shepperd, Fred Lahr. Curtis Hunter.

Sensitive students began to wonder, then, why the chem labs hadn ' t been put over by the canal — a tent of some sort could have been erected to take care of them — so that the rooms allotted to them could have been occupied instead by the home economics department. Think how indescribably glorious it would be. said these sensitive ones, to walk down the halls and smell roast beef and corn bread, and cookies and cakes, etc. If the Home Arts club had its way, the wishes of the sensitive students would be granted: for that club is composed of girls who are interested in home economics — girls who feel that the now rather neglected science of housekeeping, which includes cooking, is perhaps as important as chemistry, and that the ability to stew onions is perhaps as significant as the power to discover atoms. With apartments as popular as they are now, home economics courses are not sought after as much as they might be: but the thoughtful Home Arts girls feel, apparently, that domesticity is at least faintly appealing, after all. The club, first formed when the home economics department was established at Butler, only to go to pieces, as clubs will, at a later date, was reorganized in 1925 and since then has been getting along very nicely. Its purpose, of course, is to interest Butler coeds in home economics — to show them the value of a training received in the home ec. department. Meetings are held monthly. Officers during 1928-29 were Mary Hargitt. president: Eulalie Wright, vice-president: and Mary Louise Pierce, treasurer. Georgia Holder. Mary Louise Pierce. Mildred Sullivan. Mary Hargitt.

Interviews With Butler Celebrities (by ihc Inquiring Reporter) ROBERT TRACY | '  xtt|HEN I went to interview Robert Tracy, he was working in his flower j garden. You big sissy, I sneered. O ti At this, his face became deeply red, and a hurt look appeared in his eyes. I don ' t think it ' s very nice of you to talk that way after I went and invited you to come and have tea with mc, he said. And anyway, just because a boy likes flowers is no sign he ' s a sissy. Why, my flowers — my flowers — are my — are my life. And here, pausing suddenly, he stooped im- pulsively, lowered his lips to a dear little pansy that was just opening its purple petals to the morning sky, and kissed it tenderly, almost passionately. Are you from Lebanon, Robert? I inquired. No! he cried, jumping to his feet, I am from Trafalgar. Ail at once, then, tears began to roll down his pale white cheeks; and natur- ally I could not help attempting to console him, though my own heart too was almost breaking. Here, Bobbie, I said, putting my arms about him, as I tried to keep sad- ness from creeping into my own voice, you must buck up, old pal, and be brave. Things look bad, I know, and the night is dark. But the dawn will come, even- tually. It must come, Bobbie, to comfort you and to make the way clear once more. His manly frame shook convulsively. Why do you call mc ' Bobbie ' , he sobbed, when you know very well that my name is Hiram? J { Men ' s Debate Team EELING, apparently, that the country has endured as many courtroom farces in recent years as it cares to, the Men ' s Debate team chose this year for its subject, Resolved: that the jury system should be abolished. This was the subject discussed in a triangular meet between Butler, Miami and DePauw, in which both of Butler ' s teams were defeated. It was also the subject debated when Butler went East during spring vacation. That Eastern trip, by the way, was the most ambitious venture ever undertaken by a Butler forensic squad. Teams representing three of the East ' s leading schools, George Washington, New York, and Syracuse universities, were all met on their home floors by Butler ' s crew, which was made up of George Gisler, Robert Andry, and Kenneth Rogers. All of the Eastern debates were no-decision affairs: but at New York the audience, when called upon to render an unofficial decision, favored Butler. Butler lost several meets during the 1929 season: but that didn ' t surprise anybody, since Mr. Sifritt had only two veterans left over from the year before, around which to build a team. In a triangular debate with Earlham and Wabash on the subject, Resolved: that a criminal code similar in procedure to the present British criminal code should be adopted throughout the United States, Butler split even, losing to the Quakers and winning from the Cavemen. A triangular debate on the same subject was held with Ball Teachers ' College and Terre Haute State Normal. In the peace contest, an oratorical event participated in annually by several Indiana colleges, Robert Andry was the Butler representative. The state meet this year was at Ball Teachers ' College, in April. In the annual contest of the Indiana State Oratorical League held at Earlham, Norman Robinson, speaking on The Sinister Crusade, placed fourth. Under the direction of Mr. Rahe, a group of freshmen organized this year a frosh debating team, and participated in practice meets with one another, with Butler ' s varsity, and with other schools. Abraham LetifF, Frederick Lahr, Louis Moehlman, Edward Fillenworth and Robert Shields were members of this squad. I. Robert Andry. Norman Brinslcy. Adolph Emhardt. George Gisler. II. Curtis Hunter. Kenneth Mount. Kenneth Rogers. Russell Townsend, Professor Claude Sifritt, coach. g: : k ©e Women ' s Debate Team JrlR. HERBERT E. RAHE. coach of the Butler varsity women ' s clcbating ij squad, must have a soft job: because, as the dear Lord knows, any ;oj female on earth just naturally is an expert when it comes to argumcnta- — tion. A woman debater doesn ' t have to use logic: her I told you so is always final and logical enough to convince anybody. But perhaps, on second thought, Mr. Rahe ' s duties are extremely hard just on that account: because the women from other schools are just about as shrewd, of course, as those from Butler. Well, it ' s a pretty bad situation, any way you look at it. The subject chosen by the women debaters this year was Resolved, that all states should adopt a law requiring a sentence of life imprisonment on fourth conviction of felony. Triangular debates on this subject were held with Miami and DePauw, and Cincinnati and Franklin. In the former meet, the affirmative teams traveled: in the latter, they stayed at home and let the negatives do the running around. The girls did exceptionally well in these meets, winning three of them. The debate at Greencastle (DePauw affirmative vs Butler negative) was the only one in which the girls representing the Blue and White did not come out on top. A dual meet with Evansville college, to be held on either the twelfth or thirteenth of April, was being planned as the Drift went to press. Clara Schell, not on the panel, was a member of the 1929 squad. Women debaters who have shown unusual ability in the various meets are chosen, at the end of each season, for membership in Delta Phi, national debating fraternity for women. To get in this frat is the greatest public speaking honor a woman may receive at Butler, and so naturally all the girls want to join. The organization has for its purpose the creation and maintenance of interest in oratory among college students. Alpha chapter was founded in 1921. Helen Vennard was president of the chapter this year. Her executive duties, it is sup- posed, were rather light, since there were only six other members — Lena Cohen, Elizabeth Moschenross, Margaret Ice, Grace Crone, Nan Frances Warren and Helen South, and the latter four weren ' t admitted until late in the second semester. 1.

In i- the basement of Jordan hall, it has constructed, in a room that probably y was intended to accommodate a furnace or a coal bin, a theatre — a theatre ' ' with real curtains, scenery, and lighting effects; and there Thespians, in the plays that they present, get to shriek and groan and play-act in general as much as they like. Occasionally the club, becoming more ambitious, stages per- formances at the Little Theatre Playhouse, down on Alabama street. Junior and senior Thespians who have displayed exceptional talent in the club ' s plays, and whose scholastic average for their entire college career is above eighty, are admitted to National Collegiate Players, honorary dramatic frater- nity. Election to this organization, which was established locally in 1925, is the greatest dramatic honor a student may receive at Butler. I.

W a«Ji|s 4 r ' . ' -E ' ONE LAST WORD A February Stroll In the houses, ing. otcd, is empty took a walk through south Irvington the other day. The streets, especially those near the old Butler, were very quiet. Where students used to laugh and talk as they strolled along (or per- haps hurried, being late to class) was now only silence. On University avenue, where cars of all sorts — some of them limousines and some junkers — used to be carrying crowds of boys and girls to and from the college al- most all the time, the only sign of life I saw was a very small girl, who was singing to herself as she rode her tricycle up and down the sidewalk, windows of several of the ' For Rent signs were hang- Its owners have gone away; rees that cover its extensive grounds, its red cold sunlight of the late February afternoon, red at me like eyes that do not see. The iron estate body has removed and carried away their stone capitals. Soon, I suppose, the Hibben home will be torn down so that the estate may be divided by some enterprising realtor into building lots: but, even in its period of decadence, the old mansion is impressive, for it describes, with its square tower, arched door- ways, tall windows, and open stone veranda, the beauty and serenity of an age that is now gone. As I watched the sunlight become even more deeply red on its aged walls, I remembered how beautiful the Hib- ben grounds used to be every spring. 1 hey were almost completely carpet- I tls lllf Miss Graydon cd wiih spring flowers: pink and white spring beauties, purple violets, yellow jonquils, and crimson tulips 5;rcw everywhere under and about the huge trees, on whose branches tiny pale green leaves were just beginning to appear: and the cool, fresh beauty of these flowers contrasted appealing- ly with the mature beauty of the house. I have heard from old-time resi- dents of Irvington that in its earlier days the suburb used to be made up mostly of homes similar to the Hib- ben home. The population, of course, was not nearly so large then, and each house had plenty of ground around it and stood far back from the street. Only a few of the streets, by the way, were paved in those days, but that didn ' t matter, because traffic was light — automobiles were unheard of, and persons who didn ' t care to walk rode in horse-drawn carriages. Even Washington street was only a dirt road, and a very bad one at that: the area between Indianapolis and Irvington. now entirely built up with modern homes and intersected with modern streets, was pasture and woodland. Some of Irvington ' s large old homes are standing now; at Downey and Julian is the Clifford home. On South Audubon is the Layman house: and I can re- member the Johnson home, which was at the corner of Julian and Audubon. Near English and Emer- son avenues stand several of these relics of the past: and they make one A ' feel that life in early Irvington must ■ have been serene and peaceful and singularly apart from the rush of the world. And now the quiet, scholarly at- mosphere that was Irvington is gone. On the winding streets, close up against the sidewalks, stand modern bungalows. They are probably equipped with tiled bathrooms and noisy radios. The Bona Thompson library is deserted; its shelves are empty and its doors are locked. And Lttl. h .1 The Administration Building g :: §!L I e l; : Tr s 2= 3 on the old Butler campus, the ad- ministration building, the science hall and the dorm are melancholy re- minders of what used to be. When buildings are no longer occupied by human beings, they at once become strangely desolate. This desolation is more than silence or run-down ap- pearance. It is something almost human, some hauntingly mournful quality that attaches itself to empty rooms and hallways. I remember how young and fright- ened I felt when I enrolled as a fresh- man at the old Butler less than three years ago. Important looking pro- fessors and awe-inspiring upperclass- men either glared at me or ignored mc altogether: and I was afraid that I should never feel at home in such a large and busy institution. But with- in a few weeks I began to feel very much at home. The professors, I discovered, were for the most part kindly and considerate, and the upperclassmen, at least many of them, were inclined to be friendly. During my freshman year I had late afternoon classes: and after the last class was over and most of the other students had left the building, I used to go into the chapel and sit there and think about the many, many young people who had attended Butler ahead of me, who had looked at life hopefully as I was looking at it now. I often wondered what had become of them. Most people would have considered that old chapel ugly, I suppose, with its cracked ceiling, hard straight-backed cushionless pews, and bare platform; but I often thought it very beautiful, especially when the late afternoon sunlight came slanting through its tall windows. Under that mellow light, even the grim faces in the large worn frames upon the walls became, somehow, gentle, and looked kindly down on me; and I wondered if the men pictured there used to have thoughts like I was having now — and if they sat here alone in this old chapel and meditated upon things in general I gs And now the administration  —  building is deserted: windows are mPR iff - smashed out, and doors are boarded up. On the afternoon I took my walk, the very vines on the walls hung dead and crisp, and rustled sad- ly as evening drew near. I could not enter the building, but I peered in at some of the windows and saw how thickly covered with dust are the empty rooms. Year after year. Youth came to this building to gain wisdom; but now the building is silent, and Youth comes no more. After walking entirely around the administration building. I strolled over to Irwin field, which is pretty much grown up in weeds now. I began to think about the exciting , athletic events that had occurred on this historic field. Before the war, Butler was not the school, athletically speak- ing, that she now is. The crowds that watched contests at Irwin field were not very large, and the teams that played there were comparatively weak. But the players played the game hard, and the spectators, even if they weren ' t so numer- ous, were plenty enthusiastic. A victory over Franklin, Rose Poly, Earlham, or Hanover always meant a big parade through the streets of Irvington after- wards; and the celebration usually ended in a raid on the Irving theatre. And now the bleachers that lined the field arc gone, and the goal posts are gone, and the heroes of the past are pretty much forgotten. Is there nothing then that lasts, I wondered, as I walked across Irwin field and started up Ohmer avenue towards Downey. Is there nothing that lasts, that endures, that outlives plastering and wood and stone and even the memory of fickle mankind? By this time, evening was at hand, and as I reached Downey avenue I discovered that the gas lamps that used to line that winding street have been taken away, and huge white lights, — the ugly kind, that hang from telephones poles — have been put in their places. But otherwise If : Tt the most beautiful neighborhood in the world is unchanged. The Cross home, once famous for its tulips, is pretty much as it used to be. So is the Miller home, with its gray stone walls and flat slate roof, and so are the Johnson and Kingsbury and Graydon homes. As I heard the cold breeze spring up among the bare branches of the tall trees, I remembered a boyhood spent in this neighborhood. And especially I remembered how, when I was still in high school, I used to go to Mrs. Johnson ' s for music lessons. Of course I had never practiced as much as I should have, and she would say, You simply must do better next time. The lesson was supposed to last half an hour, but she usually kept me much longer than that, because she wanted me to learn something about music. And after the lesson was over, she would start talking to me about various composers and their lives and works, and before we knew it we would be looking through the large books that she had there in her music room — books in which were all sorts of splendid pictures of composers, and scenes from their lives, and houses in which they had lived, and so on, and so on. Nor was Mr. .Johnson any less kindly and sympathetic: once I be- came interested in astronomy, or at least felt I was interested in it; and when I told him of this desire to know a little something about the stars, he invited me into his study and talked for quite a while to me about the various planets and their movements, and also gave me several books to read. And as I walked past the Johnson home, I looked across the street to where the Graydons live, and so thought of Miss Katharine, and of how many years she has taught at Butler, and of how faithfully she has worked to show her students that life is a thing of beauty. Downey Avenue Christian Mr. Jordan g:? y : And thinking of her, I remem- bered Miss Ellen, who used to ride a bicycle about the streets of Irvington, ancl even went clear over to the South side and back on it some days (she taught school over there) . I ' ll wager that Miss Ellen chuckled more than once at the thought that her more dignified fellow-citizens were shocked to see a grown woman pedalling a bicycle up and down the public high- ways. In the Graydon back yard was an apple orchard and Miss Ellen used to have the habit of distributing, at various homes through the neighbor- hood, half-bushel baskets filled with apples. As I continued my walk through the February evening, and thought of how kind these persons — Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and the Graydons — had been to me, and reflected that their kindness had in no way been limited to me, but that all their lives in their quiet way they had been doing good in the world about them, I suddenly saw them as representative of the men and women who have, through the years of its existence, given themselves unselfishly to Butler. Who all these men and women are I do not know. Many of them, of course, died before I was even born. Several, however, I do know: Mr, Gelston, Mr. Bruner, Mr. Jordan, and Mr. Putnam are among them. Irvington is no longer Irvington. , Completely modernized, it now is merely the east side of Indianapolis. But the ideal that its founders had in mind when it was established is as real and worthwhile as ever. Their belief that a college should be situated in an orderly and purposeful community (because in such a com- munity the search for Truth can best be carried on by a group of students) is still valid, even if modern society does seem to be nothing but confus- ion — a society which, its members all pursuing their own interests, seems to have no common purpose at all.

S - ' , 9 : H k We Arc All One F the adherents of the various religious faiths, with their numerous gods and creeds, could see that behind all religion is humanity ' s desire to reach a significant life, religious intolerance might disappear. It was lack of understanding that caused Romans to butcher Christians, Calvin to burn unbelievers, and Puritans to persecute Quakers; and it is that same lack of understanding that causes to flourish even today the age-old war between Prot- estant and Catholic. Understanding would show the religionists their common goal ; and then the hate they feel for one another would fade away, and a bond of sympathy would be formed. Modern society — in which strife is the predominant characteristic — must make its members see, then, if it is to become a rational and harmonious system, that fundamentally they are all alike. The Catholic must learn that the Protest- ant, after all, is a man pretty much like himself — a man fairly kind and sincere and worthwhile who is doing his best to live a worthwhile life. The employer must realize that his employee is not a machine, or a senseless brute, but a human being as sensitive, perhaps, as he is — a human being with aspirations and feelings as lofty, possibly, as his own. Would Americans, during the recent war, have felt extreme hatred towards all Germans if they could have looked into German homes and seen how the enemies were suffering because of that catastrophe which neither the German nor the American people wished to occur? Thackeray understood human nature. He saw its ugly and ridiculous aspects, but he also saw that it is basically sound, that it is ever seeking to develop itself, and to lift itself upward by means of its own development. That is why one laughs at his characters, and even feels disgust for them, and yet admires and loves them. Is not higher education meaningless, if it does not lead students, by way of intelligent sympathy, to a conception of humanity ' s purposeful oneness? : ' -n-V .- ' N ' --— - ' U WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY Student of Humanity MR.

ISOi Flower: Peach Blossom Motto: O Say Can You See? 762 Chapters Mu Mu Mu, national wisecracking fraternity, was founcled at the Iowa Female Seminary in 1492, and later, when it got run out there, took up head- quarters at the Milwaukee Gymnastic Normal School and founded itself all over again (1640). The purpose of the fraternity is to create, and then pro- mulgate and perpetuate throughout all the civilized world, as many wisecracks as possible. There are, at present, 762 chapters of the frat in existence, and the membership runs into millions. To be eligible, one must possess the ability to wisecrack at all times and in all places and on all subjects: and one must also be immune to scorn of any sort that one receives from one ' s fellow men. Recognizing the extraordinary possibilities for such an organization at Butler, the national body granted a charter to a bunch of local wisecrackers on April 1, 1899, and since then Nu Nu chapter has grown and prospered like nobody. Its adherents infest every nook and corner of the campus: no matter where you are at Butler, you are sure to be near a group of them. It has been estimated by one authority that there are more wits per capita at this institution than at any other similar school in the country. A few members of the local chapter are Ava Louise Reddick, Elsie Partlow, Kathryn Haugh, George Fredenberger, and Florence Renn. nl Phi Kappa Phi There are some college students, after all, who observe the old-fashioned custom of getting one ' s lessons: and it is they who, upon reaching their senior year, become Phi Kappa Phis. Phi Kappa Phi is one honorary organization that is really honorary. Members are not chosen because they have worked on the Collegian, served on the junior prom committee, or are members of Pi Psi Upsilon, but because they have displayed genuine scholastic ability. The faculty members of the organization do the choosing, so a person has to be considerable of a student even to be considered. Twice a year the faculty committee makes its selections; and all persons chosen are among the upper fourth of the senior class — that is, their averages have to be around ninety, if not higher. The national organization, founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, for the purpose of creating and sustaining an interest in scholastic ideals among university students, now has forty-four chapters, all of them in leading schools of the country. The Butler chapter was established in 1922. The president, vice-president, and treasurer of the local chapter are elected annually: but the secretary holds office permanently. The latter, at present, is Helen Hoover. The other officers who served this year were Mr. Gelston, presi- dent: Mr. Baumgartner. vice-president: and Mr. Beeler, treasurer. One of Phi Kappa Phi ' s big annual events is its commencement dinner, given in honor of new members and attended by alumni as well as by active members. Phi Kappa Phi realizes only too well that the modern college student does not have a very good idea of what college is, and that he has an even less compre- hensive idea of what it might be. And so it hopes to make the student see that a modern university can be a significant institution only when its faculty and its students are unified by the desire to carry on a search for truth. It hopes to make the student appreciate the unity of effort represented in the divergent col- leges and divergent courses that compose the modern university. I. Aillnir Cope, Robert Pitts.

Ircn E T sS f3g g€S ?H5i l l % i %I g StM nr Scarlet Quill If a girl becomes a member of Scarlet Quill, then her college career is success- ful; for Scarlet Quill is the big senior honorary organization for women on the Butler campus. Founded in 1921, it is petitioning Mortar Board, national honorary organization for senior women. It stands, according to its own modest admission, for high scholastic standards, interest in activities, and de- velopment of personality. Just how Scarlet Quill develops personality is not known. Perhaps it uses the correspondence school method. Or, perhaps, its members already hav e so much IT that they don ' t have to worry. Upholding scholastic standards is, of course, very admirable and proves that the Quill, theoretically at least, is a very nice organization. Evelyn Seward was president this year and saw that the club functioned smoothly ancl performed its numerous duties properly. Elizabeth Moschenross was vice-president, Lotys Benning secretary, and Alice Phillips treasurer. Mrs. Alice Wesenberg is faculty advisor. If you don ' t think Scarlet Quill is exclusive, just you try to get in it once. Only twelve girls at the very most are chosen each year for membership: and if the active chapter doesn ' t think there are that many girls in school good enough, it doesn ' t even choose that many. The pledges are selected at the end of their junior year to serve while seniors. The organization gives annually a junior year scholarship to the sophomore coed it considers most worthy. This yearly gift, of course, makes a benefit brid ge party necessary: you couldn ' t expect them just to reach up and grab money out of the air. could you? What would the women ' s organizations at Butler do for funds if it weren ' t for benefit bridges? For several years. Scarlet Quill, in cooperation with Blue Key, has been sponsoring the festivities incidental to Butler ' s annual homecoming celebration. This year, however, the downtown parade and the big dance were held the day of the Illinois game, which was Dedication day. The 1 928 parade was as gorge- ous as ever, what with all sorts of gaily and brightly decorated floats and much orchestras. Once more Indianapolis realized that there is a school at Fairview entitled Butler, and that that school really knows how to make whoopee. Evelyn Seward, Elizabeth Moschenross. Alice Phillips Lotys Benning. Olga Bonke. Helen Vennard J Chimes And on this page, boys and girls, are those Chimes girls. Theirs is the junior honorary society for Butler women: every spring, eight sophomore girls, if they have behaved themselves during their first four semesters in college, have been interested in extra-curricular activities, and also have good personalities (you know the type) , are pledged to Chimes — to carry on its good work during their junior year. And so Chimes girls, like the poor, are with us always. (Not that we don ' t like to have them.) The rushees are spiked at the annual spring razz banquet, a dinner at which even Miss Butler, it is said, gets razzed. It was Miss Butler, by the way, who founded Chimes, back in 1924. She wanted a club formed whose purpose would be to acquaint freshman girls with the fundamentals of college life. Chimes members do all they can to make freshmen feel at home. They write welcoming letters to them just before school opens, and then help them to endure the ordeal of registration. And when that is out of the way, Chimes gives a series of teas for freshman women, so that the new coeds may become acquainted with one another. These teas and bridges are given from time to time throughout the entire school year. But why doesn ' t Chimes arrange to pay the children ' s tuition? That is what would help them most. Chimes ' big event — or at least the one its members get the most kick out of — is its annual sweetheart dinner. This affair is attended only by females; but the Chimes girls, each of whom invites a guest, attend attired in tuxes. The dinner, given this year in February, was at the Propylaeum. Maja Brownlee was toastmaster, and, if all reports are true, she done noble. Other events Chimes sponsored this year were a tea-dance (given for all coeds at the Campus Club in December) and a bridge-tea held at the Alpha Chi house at the start of the second semester for girls who had just entered school. 1929 pledges were Florence Renn, Beatrice Burgan.

Founded in 1920 as Phi Delta Phi, it changed its name this year because Phi Delta Phi is the name of a national law fraternity. One of these days there will be so many Greek letter organizations in this land of the free and home of the brave that the various combinations will be exhausted. Won ' t that be awful! The purpose of The Torch is to foster democracy and good fellowship among Butler girls. Those Butler girls must be an awful snobbish crowd, the way they have to have democracy and good fellowship fostered among them. But perhaps if they were let alone they would be democratic and congenial of their own accord. Who knows. ' ' (Nobody knows, and nobody seems to care.) Membership of The Torch is made up of twenty-six organized women and two unorganized women; so you can see for yourself how truly democratic it is. (Now don ' t get sore, girls — we were just kidding.) One sophomore from each sorority and one unorganized sophomore are chosen each year: and the lucky creatures remain members until they are seniors. They are chosen on a basis of scholarship, womanliness, and service. Just how womanly they have to be is not known. Any girl who wears her skirts above her knees is probably ineligi- ble. An all-coed event. The Kid Kaper, is sponsored by Torch every year. The 1929 Kaper was held at the Campus Club in April. Everybody had a good time: and, it is said, the place fairly reeked with democracy and good fellowship. I.

Only freshman and sophomore girls who h ave distinguished them- selves in some way may belong. New members are chosen solely on a basis of participation in school activities, spirit of cooperation, school loyalty, and lead- ership. And Scarf Club, by the way, is one campus organization in which no sorority can hold the upper hand: for when choosing its rushees, this club must select not more than one girl from any sorority. That probably irritates certain Butler female groups more than they would wish to admit. As many unorganized girls are chosen annually as organized, and that balances things nicely. Of course the club has a purpose. Its aim is to promote good fellowship on the Butler campus — among the girls, that is — and to arouse an interest among Butler coeds for things cultural. But goodness gracious, what does that mean? Aren ' t all Butler girls interested in things cultural anyway? You never heard of one of our girls going to a cheap show like the Indiana, or reading a trashy book such as The Winning of Barbara Worth, did you? Scarf Club also tries to arouse among Butler girls an interest in campus activities. Now THAT is really worthwhile. The 1929 Drift, for instance, should be loyally supported by Scarf Club members and Butler coeds in general. You will see to it that they all buy copies, won ' t you, Anna Lee? (Anna Lee is president, and has managed the group very well this year, along with Madge McPherson, vice-president; Janet Pascoe. secretary; Hilda Hollingsworth, treasurer, and Miss Corinne Welling, sponsor.) Scarf Club does charity work among the poor of Indianapolis on Thanks- giving and Christmas days. That proves that its members are tender hearted. Jeannctte Palmer. Miss Corinne Welling.

And in case anybody should want to know, it first saw the light of day at Butler — your Butler, and rnij Butler, and Potsy Clark ' s Butler: and at present there are seventy-six chapters. As everyone knows, Tau Kappa Alpha is a national debating fraternity, whose membership is made up of men who have distinguished themselves in intercollegiate debates; no man may belong if he has not participated in at least two varsity meets. The frat, of course, being honorary, has a purpose, which is to interest college students in public speaking, especially intercollegiate debat- ing. The badge is really very beautiful. It is composed of a gold scroll bearing a raised wreath of olives with the letters T K A across it and eleven stars, which represent the founders, all superimposed upon a gold key. That alone is enough to make a boy want to belong to Tau Kappa Alpha. All foolishness aside, Tau Kappa Alpha has a real job on its hands right now; and that job is to keep the art of argumentation respectable. During the Victorian and pre-war periods, debates were very popular; but nowadays people are beginning to question their validity. Debating teaches a person to assume an attitude on some question and then argue for that attitude strenuously, whether he himself feels it is the proper point of view or not. No wonder lawyers and congressmen are what they are; boys who are taught to hide behind technicalities and even to employ subterfuge to gain a favorable decision, develop very naturally into men that have no respect for truth.

But even if it isn ' t as hot as Sphinx, Blue Key is a real nice organization and does lots of wonderful things for dear old Butler. And with such rosebuds among its members as Evan Walker and Stephen Baker, how could it keep from rating? There are chapters of this honorary organization at forty-seven other colleges besides Butler, whatever good that does. If they are all like the Butler group, Blue Key must be a real lodge. Just think of what the local chapter has done during the last year! Besides throwing two dances, one which, given in conjunction with Scarlet Quill, was a Dedication Day dance at the Marott hotel the night of the Illinois football game, it gave a delightful banquet for football men at the Campus Club (YOUR club) in December. This latter affair was real grand in every way: chicken was served, and so were mashed potatoes; and every person present, especially Jack Walsh and Lon Watford, sure went to town. Athletes, it seems, just naturally get excited when they see chickens. Nish Dienhart and Bob Hanna were in charge of the banquet, and Ralph Hitch was toastmaster. The annual homecoming celebration is sponsored by Blue Key. Scarlet Quill helps out with this, also. In fact, the Scarlet Quills seem to like the Blue Keys pretty well. It used to be, at these homecoming celebrations, that the best decorated house won a prize; but now it ' s the most attractive float that takes the cup. Well, anything to give downtown Indianapolis a thrill. What would Butler do if it weren ' t for Blue Key? Were there EVER such ambitious and energetic boys?

Haggard: I never thought of that. Caulkins: It would pay YOU to think once in awhile. Haggard: Well, then, let ' s have the treasurer ' s report. Sharrer: What ' s the use? We haven ' t any money.

(If you are going to be a newspaper man, you simply HAVE to be wide-awake.) Mr. Bowman and his boys, having been on their toes at all times, have accomplished many wonderful things this year. They published, for instance, a thirty-two page edition of the Collegian, for distribution among fans at the Illinois football game. These papers really came in handy, too, be- cause the stadium seats were wet that day, rain having fallen the night before. Another Sigma Delta Chi publication, this one put out in collaboration with Theta Sigma Phi, was the razz sheet that appeared on the night of the junior prom, and which everybody liked ever so much. The Blanket Hop, a dance given annually to raise money for blankets for senior gridmen, and which was held this year at the Lincoln hotel on November 28, was in charge of Sigma Delta Chi, as was the Indiana Intercollegiate Press Association ' s convention, held at Butler in February. Isn ' t it remarkable how much one group of boys can do! Still more remarkable, when one remembers the various banquets that kept Sigma Delta Chi boys busy. Two dinners were given at the Columbia club; one, in October, honored Hilton U. Brown, and the other, in February, was incidental to the 1929 initiatory services. At the latter affair, Edwin V. O ' Neel, national secretary of Sigma Delta Chi, spoke. The Claypool hotel was the scene of the 1929 annual founders day banquet of the fraternity. The national convention was held at Northwestern University in November. Gerald Bow- man represented Butler. Sigma Delta Chi was founded at DcPauw in 1909, for the purpose of pro- moting the interests of journalism in colleges and universities. Membership in the local chapter, which was established in 1926, is limited to men who have shown marked journalistic ability while serving on the Collegian or the Drift. The latter publication, however, seems to be, at present, only sparsely represent- ed in the organization. E.Gerald Bowman, president; M. Scott Waldon. vi Harold Ross, Curtis Hunter. Gordon Davis.

And Theta Sigma Phi is the result of that invasion. It is an honorary frat. of course, and national. Alpha Iota chapter, established in 1927, grew out of the old Butler Scribblers Club. Only girls who have shown out- standing journalistic ability on college publications are asked to join Theta Sigma Phi, and so it is a pretty exclusive organization. The pledge ribbons are very lovely, being lavender and green; and the pin is a gold matrix, on which are the letters Theta Sigma Phi. (Now if you happen to come across one you will know what you ' re l ooking at.) Along with their brothers, the Sigma Delta Chis, the Theta Sigs entertained members of the Indiana Intercollegiate Press Association, which held its 1929 annual convention at Butler in February. Theta Sigma Phi also cooperated with Sigma Delta Chi in issuing the junior prom razz sheet. But its big event was the Matrix Table formal dinner, given December 1 I, at the Marott hotel. Two hundred guests were present at this banquet. Women prominent in university activities were invited: and representatives from the DePauw, Purdue and Indiana chapters of Theta Sigma Phi attended, as well as alumnae of the local chapter. Prominent speakers, of course, were on hand for the doings. Mrs. Beulah Brown Fletcher gave an address, the title of which was Go Get It. Miss Mary B. Orvis spoke on Personality and Writing. Maja Brownlee was toastmistress. (That seems to be Maja ' s regular job.) This was the first Matrix Table dinner ever given by the Butler chapter, but the affair will be annual hereafter. I.

Rebecca Jones, Kathryn Trcsscl, Jean Van W ' ornui Fraternite (brotherhood) THE MU EPSILON DELTA SORORITY HAS A MEETING President Jones: Now, girls, let ' s come to order. Will the secretary please call the roll. Jane: I ' m sorry, Sister President. I forgot to bring the key to the desk, so we ' ll have to do without the books tonight. Jones: It seems to me. Sister Williams, that if you are going to be secretary you might as well develop a slight sense of responsibility. That ' s the third time you ' ve forgotten the key. Jane: The books weren ' t any too orderly when you were secretary, I re- member. Jones: (Striking table with gavel) We ' ll consider the matter closed. Will everybody please rise and recite the pledge. All: (Rising and reciting) We hereby vow to live lives of purity, to do nothing that would be unacceptable in the eyes of God, to devote our lives to our fellow men, and to love and serve one another at all times. And may we never forget the sacredness of Mu Epsilon Delta: may we never allow its good name to be dishonored or tarnished in any way. Jones: Since the books seem to be unavailable this evening, the minutes of the previous meeting can ' t be read. Does anybody wish to propose a name for membership in Mu Epsilon Delta? Alice: I should like to present the name of Ernestine Meek. Girls, I know you all would love her. She is awfully good looking, wears adorable clothes, dances superbly, and has oodles and oodles of money — that is, her father has. Jane: (Jumping to feet) How do you know he has oodles of money? That ' s what you said about that DeQuincy girl, but she couldn ' t even pay her dues. And what sort of grades would this Meek girl make? You know as well as I do that she never would have gotten through high school if her father hadn ' t been a member of the school board. Alice: That ' s not so at all. You ' re just saying these things about her be- cause that Allison girl that you wanted in was blackballed. You still think, apparently, that I was the one that did the blackballing, but I want to tell you once and forever that I didn ' t do it and I don ' t know who did. Jane: It made no difference to me that Lillian Allison didn ' t get in. But I do say that this Meek girl has a reputation all over town for being fast. I even have friends up in Hunti ngton that have heard of her. Alice: It certainly seems strange to me that you are always opposed to girls who seem able to have dates once in awhile. I suppose you have your reasons. Betty: Girls, girls, how can you talk this way to each other? How do you ever expect Mu Epsilon Delta to accomplish anything when there is friction like this within its ranks? We must be true to our pledge. We must love one another, we must serve one another. Otherwise the chapter cannot live. Jane: It ' s about like you to talk about being loyal to Mu Epsilon Delta — you, who have to be threatened before you ' ll pay your dues. Betty: That ' s a lie, Jane Williams! I ' m just as prompt in paying as you are, and you know it! I ' m tired of hearing your ugly insinuations. Jones: (Striking table heavily with gavel) Girls, this disorder simply must stop. I won ' t endure it any longer. Jane, sit down! Jane: I won ' t sit down. I have as much right to express myself in meeting as you have. And I will not vote for Ernestine Meek. Alice: After this, I ' ll propose girls with ugly faces, girls that men won ' t look at. Maybe you will vote for them! (And so on and so on and SO on, ad infinitum.) im m m : ' ' Interfraternity Council On this page is the Interfraternity Council. It is a nice council. Do you see the apple, John? Yes, I see the apple. Where are you going, Mary? I am going to swing. Donald Higgins is going to swing, too, if the law ever gets hold of him. The Interfraternity Council is known for its ability to function. Some- times the members function for an hour at a time. Once in a while they get to functioning so hard that the fire department has to be called. The meetings are held on Wednesday nights, except during the summer. At these meetings, important matters are discussed. Rules are decided on for interfraternity sports, and schedules for them are drawn up. And then, too, there are the interfraternity dances to be considered, those delightful affairs that occur twice a year. When you get to thinking about it, it almost seems that the Interfraternity Council is fairly important, after all It was rumored about on the campus, while the fight to obtain a student council for Butler was at its height, that the Interfraternity Council was against the plan. Some of the boys, it is said, were afraid that they might lose some of their political power. They should have been ashamed of themselves. But they weren ' t. After the election, after the movement was triumphant, Fenley Shepperd was heard to say sarcastically: They did everything they could to defeat its purpose; but now they ' ll do everything they can to run the Student Council. (Note: There are three Delts on the Student Council at present. Does that mean anything to anybody, and, if so, to what extent? Well, it means that good old Butler is sure to have a clean government. That ' s what it means.)

SI P J Pan-Hellenic Pan-Hellenic Council was organized, in 1914, to regulate rush conciitions. So rushing must have been pretty rough at Butler prior to 1914. Pan-Hel also unifies school spirit. At least that is one of its purposes. It strives to uphold faculty regulations for scholastic and social activities, and tries to create a spirit of fellowship. If these fellowship groups at Butler just keep at it, the school won ' t have any cliques left, one of these days. Just think how grand that will be. The Alpha Chis will speak to everybody they see in the halls, and even the great Catherine Willis will nod at passersby occasionally. The members of Pan-Hel hold their little wrangling matches on the first Monday of each month at the various sorority houses. After the meetings, re- freshments are served, which usually consist of dainty sandwiches, candy mints, and a little bit of good hard liquor. The meetings are so exciting that the gals simply have to have a little something to quiet their nerves afterwards. Mary Hastings was president of Pan-Hel during the first semester of the school year. Ruth Triller took charge in March. Not to be outdone by the Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan-Hel throws a dance every year. The 1929 jamboree was given at the Columbia Club on January 1 1, and every Butler co-ed was present with her date. At least it seemed that way, there was such a huge mob present, and everybody kicking one another and stepping on one another ' s feet. Miss Hastings was in charge of this blow- out. One junior and one senior are chosen by each sorority every April to serve on the council for one year. Pan-Hel also sponsored a card party this year. That affair was held for the benefit of the proposed Butler Women ' s Building Fund. It is not known how much money was taken in, but the guests probably had a good time, anyway, I.

Whenever those vicious Sigma Chis or Lambda Chis get to running around and making whoopee, the Phi Delts come to their rescue. Bobby Pitts, Georgie Fredenberger. and Snookums Worth make up the com- mittee recently appointed by Indiana Gamma to do social service work among erring Butler eds. If a Butler youth is found wandering over the campus in an intoxicated condition, this committee rushes him to the Phi Delt house, and there conducts prayer services for him, in the hopes that Heaven will have mercy on his wicked soul. George Cecil usually leads the singing at these meetings. Archi- bald Lewis utters the prayer, and Ralphie McElroy takes up the collection. Ralphie expressed the sentiments of the entire chapter when he said, recently, We help these boys who are deep in sin because we feel that love and sympathy , rather than condemnation and punishment , will lead them back to the light from which they have strayed so far. Georgie Cecil also voiced the chapter ' s attitude when he remarked, not so long ago, It is not that we Phi Delts feel we are any better than these our sinning brothers. We too might have been like them had we grown up in similar environments. They are, after all, our broth- ers, and we want to be as merciful to them as possible.

Yes. lady, they ' re human, though t ou wouldn ' t think so from looking at them. . . . No, lady, that ain ' t the mascot: it ' s Fenley Shepperd. Ye Gods, lady, don ' t talk so loud: he might hear you. That funny look came into his eyes while he was editing the Drift last year, and never went away. But they say he never gets violent. The handsome one is Judson Paul. Isn ' t he adora- ble! No. don ' t make eyes at him. lady, because he is very easily excited. The Delts may have their faults, but they also have virtues, and one of the latter is their aversion to pledging athletes. As Allan Shimer expressed it. Athletes are all right in their way. but we want men in our chapter who can contribute to the fraternity culturally. Butler College is indeed fortunate in having on its campus an organization with such ideals — an organization that, when looking over a prospect, takes not into consideration his ability to punt, sink field goals, or run the 440, but his ability to paint pictures, play on a harp, and sing.

EM Lambda Chi Alpha Founded November 2, 1909 at Boston University, Boston, Mass Seventy-two Chapters Alpha Alpha Chapter Established December 15. 1915 The Butler Lambda Chis had the foresight, a few years ago. to enroll in their chapter a great number of potential carpenters, plumbers, and interior dec- orators. Thus their new house was nearing completion last September when the other Greeks were frantically rushing around trying to find a For Rent sign. But Alpha Alpha is famous for something besides its new mansion. It more or less had control of Butler athletics during this school year. Mr. Hosier was elected captain of the varsity football squad, and Mr. Zink was freshman captain. Frank White led the basketball team, half of which was composed of his frat brothers. Mr. Hildebrand is Butler ' s star pitcher at present. And, of course, there are several Lambda Chis on the track squad. How do the boys do it, anyway: ' Well, just let them wait until the new Phi Delt house is finished! THEN they won ' t think they ' re so hot! The incomparable Gerald Bowman was president of Sigma Delta Chi this year, and also served as managing editor of the Collegian during the second semester. Mr. Baker was at the head of Blue Key. Even George Naftzger broke into the limelight, by getting himself elected junior treasurer. It seems that some boys are just naturally born to be great. Or perhaps the secret of it is that the Lambda Chis take Konjola. g: : ; ©g ? iM Lambda Chi Alpha t r I f f I if w. (When toivn does not appear after name, Indianapolis is understood.) 1.

S fi5!§E?=E g:? , Tau Kappa Tau Founded January 8, 1919 at Butler University Petitioning Beta Theta Pi Somebody had called the Tau Kaps a bunch of tea hounds, and Richard McDowell was highly incensed about it. That ' s an infamous lie! he stormed, clenching his fists and stamping his little foot violently. An ugly scowl had come across his usually gentle face, and his deep black eyes were flashing fiercely. Tau Kappa Tau is made up of honest, hardworking, earnest American boys, whose faces are ever lifted upward toward God. he raged. Does Charles Folk ever look upward. ' ' some one asked. Well- anyway. said Richard. Charles is a very good boy. . . . At least he must be a pretty shrewd boy. for he hasn ' t been hanged yet. Just then Chas. Williams came dancing along. Dicky! Dicky!! he cried to Mr. McDowell. I ' ve been hunting for you everywhere. You must come over to the house right away. We ' re having a contest to see who can cut out the cutest paper dolls. You ought to see the ones Frankie Riggs has cut out. They ' re simply too cunning for words! Hurrying to the house, Richard found there, sure enough, a cutting contest going on. It ' s a lot more fun to cut paper dolls than classes. explained Albert Marshall seriously. Albert, seated on the floor, was eating some bread and milk out of a mug with roses and things all over it: he was spilling a lot on himself in spite of a large green bib he was wearing. Al just couldn ' t seem to control his hands, giggled Oral Stanton, who was standing nearby. I am proud of you boys, said Richard, for being able to enjoy such simple pastimes. You will grow up to be useful, sober, industrious American citizens. Now I ' ll tell you what: if you will stay in nights for three weeks, and not drink any tea or coffee, but stick to good old milk. I ' ll give you each a glass of grape juice when you come back to school after spring vacation. Hurrah! Hurrah! chirped the Tau Kaps, leaping to their feet and clap- ping their little hands merrily. We ' re going to get some grape juice! We ' re going to get some grape juice! THE TAU KAP NURSERY -g:? fc k © s Ross. Alan Yule. LaMar Pcrigo. Albert Troy, Charles Williams. Edward Wilson III.

Founded January I, 1869 at Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia Ninety-five Chapters Epsilon Mu Chapter Established May 6, 1926 Sigma Nu And now. folks, turn the lights low. and let the orchestra play softly; for here are the Sigma Nus, and they, bless their little hearts, are sensitive, and un- used to anything loud and boisterous. What with such poets as Brennan and Sparks, and such actors as Clarke and Callithan in their crowd, they certainly are a bunch of esthetes. That is why they pledged Donald Melvin Higgins when he came to Butler. Donald, in case anybody wants to know, is Epsilon Mu ' s most brilliant and important man. At least he thinks so: and it was a mighty lucky break for the chapter, in his estimation, when it got him. Because they are poets and actors, don ' t get it into your head that the Sigma Nuts are wishy-washy. My goodness no! Look at that great big Joe Hunnes- hagen. the Kewana Bearcat. You wouldn ' t call him a lily, would you? You wouldn ' t, that is. if he was within hearing distance. And then there is Steward Holmes to consider. Steward may look sweet and naive and all that, but if what certain young ladies say is true, he is a red hot papa. (Don ' t forget to pay us for that. Steward, like you said you would. Who knows, maybe Dorothy Kammerer herself, the hardest gal to please on the campus, will be making eyes at you now! ) Edwin Ogborne is a Sigma Nut. Ed drew most of the pictures that appear in this Drift. So he. too. like most of his brothers, is pursuing the Muses. Ed can write swell poetry, too. and it also is said that he can cuss beautifully.

Without their assistance, you see, the 192 ' Drift would never have been published. It was Eugene Underwood who kept after everybody in school last fall, and so got a record number of photographs taken in record time. It was Morton Renn who worked tirelessly to get those photographs mounted. It was Art Echternacht who. with his trusty graRex (whenever Mr. O ' Dell would let him have it) . was on hand at every Butler event, athletic or otherwise, ready to obtain the snapshots that grace many of the pages of this book. The Chi Rhos. however, have not restricted themselves to putting out annuals. They have been represented on every varsity athletic squad this year, and have partic- ipated actively in school politics: the presidencies of the Freshman Class and Men ' s Union are safe in their possession. Vincent Haines had one of the leading roles in the Fairvtew Follies. Chi Rho also was represented this year in the Band, the German Club. Philokurian. the Gliders ' Club, and the Lion Tamers ' Lodge. The last two organizations, as every one knows, are very exclusive, and anybody who gets in them has to have either a lot of personality or a lot of pull. Kenneth Baker is one of the gliders. All we can say is that we feel sorry for the glider if he ever glides. He had better stick to the camel glide.

Yes- they really are; because didn ' t they rank first among the various frats this year in scholastic standings. ' ' And they look bright, too. don ' t they! But it is also whispered about, here and there, that Delta Alpha Pis are inveterate philanderers. The number of broken hearts they leave in their wake is said to be something terrific. How shocking! Boys, this ought to stop. What is going to become of that great institution known as the American Home if the youths of today refuse to learn the meaning of true devotion and unswerving loyalty? This aimless flitting from maiden to maiden is enjoyable enough while It lasts, but think of the tears and suffering that it causes. (Yes. the American Home IS a great institution, though not comparable to Delta Alpha Pi.) More than one Noblesville mother, tears stealing down her pale, worn cheeks- has sat at her win dow through the still hours of the night, waiting for wicked Mark Ashley to bring her beloved Nellie home. More than one Eaton father has wondered sadly about the fate of his little Bridget, who was lured away to the big city by Herschel Reed. Boys. boys, forget your erring ways! You are not bad boys at heart: you are only thoughtless. Beyond the glamorous life, that now seems so appealing, you will find only nothingness. All that glisters is not gold. . . . The quiet, simple life is best, after all. Come home- boys, come home! DELTA ALPHA PI MONASTERY m Delta Alpha Pi (When toiCn does not appear after name. Indianapolis is understood.) I. J.

Urban Pflum is studying to be a dentist: he says he thinks it is great fun to yank teeth. But a dentist can ' t help being pessrmisffc, said Urban. Why: ' some one asked. Because. replied Urban, he is always looking down in the mouth. Handsome Robert Andry is another of the chapter ' s scholars. ' Well, anyway, he THINKS he is handsome, and that ' s all that matters, isn ' t it? He also is a good mixer. ( Wisecrack: Any guy can be a good mixer if he has the dough.) Do you believe, like the members of Delta Tau Delta, that the purpose of a college fraternity is to make of its men seekers after purity and truth? Mr. Andry was asked recently. Kappa Delta Rho. he replied simply, as a far-away look came into his soft brown eyes, does not have to worry about making its men pure. They are already morally stainless. And as for seeking after truth, they must have that as their purpose before they can become members of our organization. Wayne McMahan. for instance, has one passion: and that is to find the way to wisdom. And here Mr. Andry turned and dashed violently upstairs But that is another story. Everybody on the campus loves the Kappa Delta Rhos. It is sincerely hoped by one and all that they get married and have a lot of little Kappa Delta Rhos.

One hates to imagine what Butler would be without them. Do you think it will rain? No. buP It might hail. Look at yon threatening clouds sweeping across the sky out of the northwest! Whatever you do. don ' t ever let a Theta know that her organization is the oldest on the campus. Thetas simply don ' t like to be remind- ed of that fact. These girls have only one failing — their tendency to be too proper, too conventional. When word got around, recently, that one of them had let a boy with whom she was having a date hold her hand, a special meeting was promptly called and her pin was lifted. Now. girls, it ' s none of our business how you run your lodge, and you have a perfect right to be as straight-laced as you desire: but it does seem that there ' s such a thing as carrying propriety a little too far.

They have minds and accomplishments of their oivn, thank you. Especially minds- if what some of the luckless Delts say is true. Some girls may grab at ANY sort of pin that comes along, but not the Pi Phis. THEY are independent : and if a boy doesn ' t have at least a FEW good qualities, he simply doesn ' t RATE. Members of Pi Beta Phi are knoivn for their divine figures and diviner features. Edna Wallace Hopper hasn ' t got a thing on one of them. Which re- minds us that Charles Bolte said that he liked the Pi Phis a great deal, as much as he had seen of them. When we asked him how much he wanted to see, he became angry, and hit us square in the jaw. That Bolte boy certainly is a fierce creature, we decided, as we picked up some of our teeth from the ground. If the Pi Phis are potential Hoppers, he is a coming Lionel Strongfort. Marjorie McElroy is a Pi Phi. Little Marjorie is full of vim and vivacity and managed to snare the office of junior vice-president this year. Virginia Flowers also is a Pi Phi.

Members of other Butler sororities- in fact, have been heard to remark, at times, that the Tri Delts try to run everything. But those other sororities are just jealous. That ' s the way girls arei — catty. Tri Delts are also accused of using too much oil. But that, too, is all nonsense.

If they all look rather sad, that ts because Eulalie has ruled them with such an iron hand this year. Jean Vestal has at all times been on hand, too, ready to spank refractory pledges, especially that Apostol girl. Another guardian of Alpha Delta chapter is Marjorie Holl, whose duty it is to keep an eye on Warren Glunt and the other wicked brutes that insist on pursuing these innocent maidens. Marjorie, by the way. is the Pollyanna of the group. She emanates sunshine and happiness wherever she goes, and her quaint little smile is one of the brightest features of the Butler campus. The Misses Marcelia Taylor and Evelyn Henschen are members of Zeta Tau Alpha. Marcelia is that little dear that throws midnight parties, and Evelyn is very shy. Carrie Zook, the Mooresville rosebud, also is a member of the lodge. Poor Carrie has an awful time, what with turning back pins and so forth. (P. S.: Miss Wright was the first person to buy a 1929 Drift. And she purchased it voluntarily ! ' . ! A monument or something should be erected in her honor.

If you don ' t think so, just have a date with one of them once. Not that they neck, or anything like that : but they are so full of life and vigor and good nature that you just can ' t help having a good time with them. And they are very easy on your pocketbooks, too, boys — they hardly ever ask for anything more than a chocolate soda. At least, that USUALLY satisfies them. Helen Vennard is one of the cutest members of Alpha Delta Theta. That saucy little nymph is in about everything on the campus. She is a member of Thespis. National Collegiate Players, Y. W. C. A., Scarlet Quill, and six or seven hundred other organizations, Mary Hargitt is president of the Home Arts club. She probably is preparing for the future. Mary Mahan also is one of the girls. Mary makes the swellest devilsfood cake you ever tasted, and is a good Christian girl in every way except on Fridays and Saturdays, So is Ercil Askren, the girl with the dancing black eyes. Nan Frances Warren is senior vice-president. So the Alpha Delta Thetas are getting into politics, too, are they! Well, well! Butler certainly got a lucky break when the Alpha Delts established them- selves on the campus. A flag-raising ceremony or something should have been held that day.

But that ain ' t nothing, because so did the Betas, and Sigma Chis. and Phi Delts, and a lot of other half-baked organizations. Yes, Sigma Chi IS half-baked, and if you don ' t think so. just ask Emily Mauzy: but what has that got to do with Delta Zeta? The D. Z. ' s are nice quiet girls, and go about their business without bothering anybody: but Little Red Riding Hood did likewise, yet look at the mess she got herself into! So don ' t be so prosaic and disinterested, girls. Those innocent expressions may fool some people, but they won ' t deceive wolves. With so many wicked boys loose on the campus, you can ' t be too careful. It is said that the Delta Zetas are stylish dressers. Whatever sort of dressers they may be, it certainly is a fact that they sport awfully mean davenports. At least that ' s what they say when they call you up. Any intelligent Delta Zeta will tell you that there is more than one sort of daveno suite. It ' s too cold to, go out tonight, anyway, and papa and mamma don ' t mind how late we play the Victrola, just so we don ' t get too noisy.

And after the blare of the trumpets had died away, and the multitude had dispersed, and darkness had come across Heathcote Manor, it was decided unani- mously by the remaining guests that the Alpha Chis are beautiful but not dumb. To be considered as Alpha Chi material, a girl must abound in pulchri- tude. It ' s pretty hard to find twenty damsels every year as good looking asl Lucinda Smith, but it ' s got to be done. If it hadn ' t been for her. such a trouble- some precedent wouldn ' t have been established : but it ' s too late to mend matters now. More than one high school miss, eager to wear a lyre, has wondered mournfully why Lucinda had to be so darned lovely. It seems to us that the Alpha Chis ought to be ashamed of themselves fori stressing physical attraction. Doesn ' t it ever occur to them how cruel it is to force some poor little girl to be content with an arrow, or an anchor, or a key. or a kite, just because her nose is too large or her ears are too flappy?

There is Lillian King, famous for her beauty, and Mary McCormick, who knows more French than any Parisian, and Helen McCoy, the gal with the red hair. If history is truthful. Alpha Delta Pi is the oldest college sorority in existence; under the name of the Adelphean Society, it was flourishing at Wesleyan College, down in Georgia, when the founders of such ancient organizations as Delta Gamma. Kappa Kappa Gamma. Pi Beta Phi. and Kappa Alpha Theta were still babes in arms. After the editor of this year ' s Drift becomes rich, he is going to present to the Butler chapter of Alpha Delta Pi a beautiful grand piano, or a flock, of fur coats, or perhaps some diamond rings, or something nice anyway: because when he asked them to go down to have their pictures taken, they went right away, without stopping at all to ask questions. Such obedient girls ought to make good wives (adv.) . Just think, boys, how prompt they will be when you tell them to darn your socks or fix the furnace! The A. D. P. ' s are pretty much like all the other girls on the campus: they study hard and don ' t do anything to disturb the moral equilibrium of the place, and Butler expects every one of them to do her duty.

Delta Gamma Founded January 2, 1874 at Mississippi Women ' s Institute Forty-four Chapters Alpha Tau Chapter Established October 3, 1925 Delta Gammas are proficient in the art of throwing. Every year, they throw an all-school dance, allowing even Sigma Chis and Sigma Nus to come. (That IS what we would term extending the boundaries of charity.) Last year they threw a big theatre party, at which Mary Garden was the honor guest. That affair gave them more publicity in one night than Helen DeVelling could give them in a week. You all know Helen, don ' t you! ' Well, if you don ' t, your education isn ' t complete. The Delta Gammas also know how to throw fits, it is said, when occasion requires. You just simply don ' t dare to get too fresh with them. When they get married, if ever, they ought to be pretty good at throwing crockery at their spouses. The D. G. ' s, as everybody knows, long ago gained the reputation of being the leading IT girls of the Butler campus. Cleopatra and Madame DuBarry were a couple of second-rate washouts compared to our charming little anchor girls. Just one glance at any D. G. is enough to give a guy the gooseflesh.

I want you to understand I ' m a lady. Are all the Kappa Phis ladies! ' the Drift staff inquired. Well, most of them are. said Martha, and the others are doing the best they can. If you could just quit chewing that gum and pay attention. said the Drift staff, you might help us out a great deal. We want some data for the Kappaf Phi writeup. Oh! Publicity! cried Miss Kelly. Now you ' re talking sense, brother. You can say thai Kappa Phi was founded in 1925 and since then hasn ' t done a single thing to be ashamed of. All of our members have a superabundance of veracity and vivacity. They also have great gobs of tenacity, said the Drift staff, Some of them NEVER know when to let go. Miss Kelly hurled a wet sponge, but the staff ducked just in time, You can also include in the article- Miss Kelly went on, that we can dance, and sing, and pet, and make wisecracks. That isn ' t very much. th e Staff remarked. Perhaps not: but what else is a college girl SUPPOSED to be able to do? Well, you ' re right that time, the staff agreed. And by now the sun was setting beyond the great expanse of water: and through the stillness of approaching night a sea gull could be heard calling to its young. Miss Kelly reached out and touched the Drift staff gently on the arm, I like you. after all. she said simply, Won ' t you come home and meet the folks? KAPPA PHI STRONGHOLD f-5 g:? L . Alpha OmicronPi Founded January 2, 1897 at Barnard College, New York City Thirty-seven Chapters Beta Theta Chapter Established October 1, 1927 Because their organization was founded at Columbia University, the A. O. Pi ' s are supposed to be very liberal minded. However, they have never an- nounced their stand on the prohibition question. If you want to find out what it is, you had better ask. the boys they run around with. But what an insulting insinuation, because everybody knows that no modern coed ever drinks. If she were that kind of girl, the boys wouldn ' t like her. If we don ' t watch our- selves, we ' ll be accusing these poor defenseless Alpha Omicron Pis of smoking, and necking, and everything else. Forgive us- girls, forgive us. It was only a slip of the tongue. And old John Murphy trembled violently, and tears began to course down his rough cheeks, as he realized how he had hurt these little creatures — these little creatures who had never done him any harm. Elizabeth Savidge is a member of Beta Theta chapter, and that alone gives it distinction. Everybody likes Elizabeth, and she herself doesn ' t think she ' s so bad. What we wonder is. where on earth did she get her style. It ' s unique and inimi- table. If the other Butler gals could copy it, our Alma Mater would certainly become an interesting institution. Besides possessing many other virtues. A. O. Pis are also said to be able to make delicious fudge and exquisite taffy. Go to it, girls! You ' ve got to rope the boys in some way. and candy is sometimes as irresistible as sex appeal. (Editor ' s note: Miss Savidge, being acquainted Willi the fraternity editor, happened to see this article before it went to press. Oh please strike my name out of it, she implored. I do so dislike being before the public eye. ) (When town does not appear after name, InJianapoiis is understood.) I. Ethel Malloch, president; Dorothy Ann Allen. Ruth Lindcnborg.

Illinois Seven Chapters Iota Chapter Established June 6, 1928 One sunny afternoon recently, the Drift staff went calling on Iota chapter of Kappa Beta. It was Lorene Thome herself . the president, who opened the door. Why my goodness, if it isn ' t the Drift staff! she cried gaily. Come right in and make yourself at home. And she kissed the staff on its pale, upturned face. The staff informed her that it wanted to know if Kappa Beta wished a panel in this year ' s Drift, adding that the cost would be forty dollars. Well, said Miss Thorne. rather hesitantly, forty dollars is forty dollars — but still, I suppose we must have a panel. Then. the Drift staff continued, you must submit a list of your ac- complishments and activities, so that there will be something to place on thei opposite page. ' I can ' t think of anything right now. said Lorene thoughtfully. You might say that we were founded at the University of Illinois in 1911. Everybody knows that already, replied tfie Drift staff drily. Well, then, I ' ll ask the girls, said Miss Thorne. And she called loudly, Girls! Girls! Come in here and give the Drift staff some information. The girls came dancing in merrily from the kitchen, where they had been making angelfood cake. You might say. suggested Nola Leet, that we are all good cooks. I can make wonderful soup, especially if it is canned first. And I know how to mend stockings, added Ruth Tegarden. Darn! ejaculated Margaret Snyder. Mary Haines then spoke up. I am a superb dancer, she exclaimed, Aes- thetic and interpretive dancing is my specialty. One time I did a dance entitled ' The Spirit of Spring ' in my home town, but nobody seemed to think much of it. I guess Pendleton just can ' t appreciate art. I also know how to do the camel ' s glide. I am a thoughtful girl, said Audra Swift. You might put THAT in your writeup. Thank you, girls, said the Drift staff, who by this time was beginning to wonder who, if any, would win the 1929 five-hundred mile automobile race. Five hundred miles, after all. is five hundred miles, and even the Kappa Betas can ' t deny that. Even the Kappa Betas, who didn ' t offer a distinguished guest any of their angelfood cake. THE KAPPA BETAS AT PRESENT HAVEN ' T ANY HOUSE. MAYBE WE ' D BETTER START TAKING UP A COLLECTION FOR THEM. 5 ©B i SE Chi Theta Chi Founded April 26, 1928 at Butler University Petitioning Kappa Delta Chi Theta Chi is the baby sorority ai Butler, and. like all other babies, is very cute. If you don ' t think it is cute, turn to the beauty section and gaze at ' Iris Branigin for awhile. But even Chi Theta Chi. infant though it is, is not as young as it used to be. Already it has celebrated its first birthday, and before so very many months have passed by it will be getting ready for its second. Won ' t it be awful, girls, when one of you is the only living charter member! (We want this Drift to be as cheer- ful as possible.) Anne Withers is a member of Chi Theta Chi. When asked, recently, to use the word notwithstanding in a sentence, Anne replied. The man wore out his pants, notwithstanding. We thought that was a pretty hot comeback, but Anne said, with a Wither-ing smile, that it wasn ' t her best, by any means. When the word fire was requested, Nellie Munson cried. I wouldn ' t go if fire you. By this time it was decided that those cute little Chi Theta Chis are just too funny for words. I can use the term weather beaten in a sentence, volun- teered Helen Lillie, who had kept quiet until then on account of having her mouth full of spaghetti. cheer for Butler, weather beaten or not. Ethel Taylor asked us if we had heard the four-wheel brake song. When informed that we hadn ' t, she started singing, For wheel brake the news to mother. That was going a little too far. The Chi Theta Chis, after being wished many more happy returns of the day, were spanked soundly and put to bed. fW jt ' D town does not appear attei nanje. InJninapolis is understood.) I.

Sigma Delta Kappa Founded in 1914 at the University of Michigan Forty-six Chapters Eta Chapter Established in 1916 Sigma Delta Kappa, intercollegiate law fraternity, was founded at the University of Michigan in 1914 by six students who believed that there was a place in the collegiate world for a fraternity choosing tts men for character and ability rather than because of their material means or their station in life. Eta Chapter received its charter at Indiana Law School. University of Indi- anapolis, in 1916. Hardly had the local chapter established itself when its ranks were depleted by the enlistment of practically the entire membership in the service ,of the United States in the World War. Nor was the organization given a chance to recuperate before another and more lasting blight descended with the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment. But the Eta boys have survived thes hardships and to all outward appearances are as enthusiastic in their devotion to their studies and social diversions as the alumni often aver they were in their academic days. By the intimate association of the Indiana Law School with Butler Univer- sity, the law students have a larger vision of college life, particularly as thd athletic management of Butler has extended the regular student rates for season athletic tickets to the law students, who. needless to say. like all students every- where, are consistently, insistently, permanently, and everlastingly financially embarrassed. And all this, notwithstanding we are not deprived of our scholastic freedom and personal liberty by rules and regulations good, bad, and indifferent, by a dean of men, nor by a preponderance of a co-ed population.

Delta Theta Phi Founded in 1900 at Univci ' sity of Chicago Sixty-five Chapters Voorhecs Senate Established in 1922 D.iily vs. Ross Suit by Wilson Daily against George Ross for guslulory injuries suffered from eating a cheese sandwich. Verdict of 10 cents for plainiiff. Decision reversed. The opinion states the facts. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBINSON delivered the opinion of the court. Parties to the suit are members of Voorhees Senate of Delta Theta Phi law fraternity, which took over the charter of Ye Inne of Chancerie. and established itself at Indiana Law School in the spring of 1922.. At a banquet given March 6. IQ29. the defendant did willfully and maliciously take, steal, carry away, and convert to his own use one ham sand- wich, being the property of the plaintiff. For said sandwich he substituted a swiss cheese sandwich which plaintiff did eat and become sick. The plaintiff complains that this mean trick ruined his digestive organs and caused him loss of considerable enjoyment in life. In Hammond vs Wells, 14 Borneo, 578. it is held that a cheese sandwich is one of no mean distinction, far outranking in social status one of ham, the: name of which implies rottenness. to wit: ham actor. In Shick v. Pfaff. 19 New Zealand. 890. the court held that you big cheese implied that the thing referred to had a strong character, depending upon the kind of cheese the de- ' i fendant had in mind. The plaintiff avers that mice eat cheese, but what mouse wouldn ' t enjoy a nice juicy ham sandwich. ' ' A little cheese now and then helps digestion. If the plaintiff ' s stomach is too weak to withstand the rigors of a cheese sandwich, he might try sauerkraut luice. Case reversed. — N. R. Buchan.

Of course we were telling the truth. This book DOES contain sex-appeal, and here it is: SEX-APPEAL BLILCECS MAIN ENTRANCE FACADE OF THE NEW PHI DELTA THETA HOUSE MAUDE: Fnwthcr, Fawthcr. I have come home ro you! MR. EGBERT: Our of this house, woman, and never darken my door again! SCENES FROM HER FATAL MISTAKE; OR, TOO LATE FOR LIS- TERINE, WHICH WAS PRESENTED BY BUTLER THESPIANS LAST NIGHT AT THE LYRIC THEATRE THE TWINKLETOE CHORUS Left to right: Josephine O ' Neill. Douglas Perry, Elsie Hancock, Josephine Fitch, Mary se 1 .irmiirc. .ml l)i.)rolh ' K.immcrcr, Thespis Offering Enthusiastically Received Her Fatal Mistake: or. Too Late for Listerine. presented by Butler ' n Dramatic Club last evening at the Lyric Theatre, acclaimed by Critics and Public. Her Fatal Mistake: or Too Late For Listerine, a drama whose like, it is said, in brilliance of settings and tense situations had never before been staged by any amateur dramatic organization anywhere, was presented by the Thespis club of Butler University last night at the Lyric theatre before a capacity crowd that became, by the time the final curtain fell, riotous in its enthusiasm. Well- known dramatic critics from all parts of the country, who came to Indianapolis to witness the production, were loud in their praise of it. Mrs. Eugene Fife, sponsor of Thespis, was so overjoyed at the success of the play that she was on the verge of a nervous collapse: and Thomas Caulkins, who covered himself with glory in enacting the leading role, was so hysterical with excitement and joy that his Sigma Nut brothers had to take him out to the house and get him drunk to quiet him. Mr. Caulkins. as Archibald Egbert, the villainous father in the play, was simply superb. His deep, rich voice filled every nook and corner of the theatre when he spoke his lines, and the dram atic fervor he displayed was simply grand. When he ordered his daughter, Maude (played by Ruby Davis) . to leave his house and never return, there was not a dry eye in the audience. Even Professor Harrison was sobbing like a child: and Robert Schopf became so overcome with grief that he had to be removed on a stretcher. The play, written by Ruth Agnew and Susanna Monninger, was full of drama, pathos, thrills, and laughter. The central theme was the idea that true love will endure in spite of all obstacles and will overcome all suffering and sorrow and other ailments. Many scenes were wildly exciting, being fraught with passion and other enjoyable ingredients. The Twinkletoe Chorus, which provided the lighter side of the entertain- ment, rendered its songs expertly and executed its dance numbers in professional style. Its director, Mr. Gino Ratti, said, when interviewed- that he was more than pleased at the manner in which the chorus had performed. I knew. said Mr. Ratti, that they could dance awfully well, but I never realized until last night just how hot they were. HUMOR (The editor of the 19 29 Drift was jsked time and again by various Butler students, dur- ing the year, if his book was going to contain any humor. He said that it was. and on this page he fulfills his promise.) Von Scherb: Why does a chicken cross the street Wallace Sims: To get to the other side. Roger Overson: Why do I consider Egypt Heaven? George Piercy: Why? Roger: Egypt is Heaven ' cause my mummy came from there Lynn O ' Neill: What did Jonah say to the whaler Virginia Hampton : I don ' t know? What? Lynn: He said, Lm not worried, because I know you can ' t keep a good man down, Other jokes that were funny enough in their time but that have long since become dreadfully stale: Potsy Clark, Vincent Haines, Herbert Murnan, the Gliders ' Club, the Fairview Follies, Santa Claus, Robert Hanna, etc., etc., etc. .etc. AND HERE WE HAVE ERCIL AND GLADYS. TWO LITTLE ALPHA DELTA THETA PEARLS. YES. THEY ARE PEARLS. BECAUSE DOESN ' T THEIR SONG SAY SO? , OOCC Yes. the Sigs ARE a clean bunch of boys, ahhough you might not think so if you could hear some of the stories they tell occasionally — you know, about traveling salesmen, etc. I simply insist that the pledges keep themselves neat at all times, said Edwin Gable, recently. I simply cannot endure soiled finger nails or dirty ears. And this is Red Johnson. You all know Red. don ' t you. He is a Chi Rho Zeta and is also studying to be a doctor. But it is rumored here and there that the movies arc after him, and after looking at his picture, you can tell why.

Right in the heart of things MAKE THIS YOUR PARKING GARAGE Higher Education did not require Elaborate Buildings and Large Faculties Small Quarters and a few Professors Met the needs of the Student Body. TODAY— Thousands clamor at the Doors Of the Institutions of Higher Learning The Advance of Knowledge Has vastly increased the need For Buildings, Men and Money To train the Student body. LIKEWISE— IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS— The Pioneers, when they built their Cabins, Went to the nearby Spring for Water, Used the Forest trees for Fuel, Made their own Tallow Candles, Made their Homespun Clothing. Their Wants were few and simple. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE— Cities grow where Hamlets stood. Food, Clothing and Human Comforts Are furnished by the Labor Of People we never see. Springs and Wells can no longer be trusted To furnish the Pure Water We need to drink. In the Hands of those Who make it their life work Rests the duty of providing THE WATER SUPPLY OF EVERY GREAT CITY. It must be Pure; There must be Plenty of it; It must be Always Available; It must be furnished At Reasonable and Equitable Cost. That is our Task. INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY THE R. H. GOODRICH CO.
