Ever since he has been connected with Butler University, he has ably directed the activities of the institution and creat- ed for himself a position of enviable esteem by virtue of his ardent scholarship and capable leadership. Long an integral part of the administra- tion of Butler, the worth of President James W. Putnam can be attested only by the many years of progression and service he has given to the school. James W. Putnam President The presideitt at work. Board of Trustees Time marches on, and in its wake a university stands as a fitting and last- ing memorial to the enduring effort and tireless energy of the organization to which greater Butler owes its ex- istence. In 1920 when the Board of Direc- tors of Butler College of Irvington decided to move from the Irvington campus, a committee of four was authorized to pick the new site. Will Irwin, Arthur V. Brown, Emsley W. Johnson, and Lee Burns, who are still members of the Board, chose Fairview, in 1922, as the site for Butler Uni- versity. Today, through the efforts of John W. Atherton, board member and financial advisor of the university, and the million dollar gift of Arthur Jor- JoHN W. Atherton Financial Sccrctarv Hilton U. Brown Cliairuian of the Board of Trustees dan, Jordan Memorial Hall stands as the cornerstone of the Butler of to- morrow. Despite the setbacks of a few years ago, the present Board of Directors took definite steps toward the material- ization of the original plans. Plans for the construction of a new unit and a building to house the College of Re- ligion, part of the original plans of the campus, are under consideration. As is stated in the charter of the school, there must be a board of direc- tors of the university, composed of 21 members to be elected triennially. The Board is the highest governing body of the university and directs the policies of the school, selects the president and associate officers, and attends to the general welfare. This } ' ear four new members were elected to the board by the present members. The new trustees are Glen R. Minis, Kokomo attoniev ; Mrs. A. M. Robertson, ln Iiana]iolis : the Rev. ( leorjje Arth -r I ' rantz, j .astor of the F irst I ' reshyterian church; and the late J. 11. Trinihle, [nfliana|iolis business man. The terms of Mrs. Z. T. Sweeney and Charles M. Setser, Columbus, and Will L . .Smith, ln(liana])olis, expired. Judge Robert C. Baltzel! de- clined reelection as a trustee, as he is withdrawing from service on all corporation ])uards wiih which he has Ijeen associated. Hilton U. llrown, serving over fifty years as a board member, was again renamed as chainpan of the group, a position which he has held since 1903. Mr. ISrown ' s many years of service to Butler, as a member and chairman of the Board of Trustees cannot be under- estimated. Only the passing years will impress upon the minds of his successors and colleagues the value of the great service he has done for Butler. Endowments and scholarshi]) grants for the school are obtained through the efforts of the Board. Scholarships to present and prospective students of outstanding academic ability is one of the man} ' ma ' or aims of this group. Another year has only increai.ed the prestige and service of these men and women to Biutler, and causes the student liody to realize the necessity and value of the Board of Trustees to the University.

A beautiful loving cup and bunch of roses were presented to the more beauteous Jeanne Mitchell by Byron Schofiel d, chairman of the festivities.

Hinkle Athletic Director COACH— Football Basketball Baseball Ever since his arrival in 1921, Paul D. Hinkle has been coaching teams of such calibre, that three successive state football champs, two na- tional basketball champs, and many other tri- umphs are only a small part of his enviable record. As mentor of three sports, football, basketball, and baseball, Tony has become endeared to the hearts of all Butler boosters. His cheery smile and unlimited energy has brought many a lagging team out of the doldrums and into the winning column. His 17 years have passed too quickly, and may he spend twice 17 years at Butler, so that Butler teams will play with the same clean sportsman- ship and domination that have distinguished our oast champions. Hugh Walden Middlesworth Assistant Football Coach Every good coach should have on his staff a man that is a leader of men, and knows how to get the best that any athlete has to offer. Such a man did Hinkle appoint a few years ago. Wally Middlesworth was the man, and the best evidence of his worth is the record for the last three years. Three consecutive state secondary championship football teams is a record of which others could be proud. Almost a direct counterpart of the taciturn and unemotional Hinkle, Wally is a nervous bundle of energy during a game. Striding up and down the sideline, he stops every few feet to yell across the gridiron to the players who wouldn ' t Hsten if they could hear him. A valuable man is Wally, and may Butler get the benefit of his value for many years. Hermon Phillips Track Coach Director of Intra-murals Continuing his brilliant career as track man and a coach, Hermon Phillips has added another year of outstanding projects to his already long list of previous triumphs. The 5th Annual Butler Relays were bigger and better, another good track team was developed, and numerous other things, were among the roster of the year ' s events. Known far and wide as a great runner and later as a developer of great runners and field event men, this year proved no exception. The team is dotted with runners and field event men who have proved outstanding ability during the past year. As boss of the intra-mural program, he has given the non-athletic men of Butler a fine pro- gram. Alay Phil ' s cheery smile and practical jokes stay with Butler for many years to come. Dr. Joseph T. C. McCallum, M. D. James Morris Trainers iir II I II ■■ II Doc and Jim The biggest group of customers that Dr. Joseph McCallum treats come from the fieldhouse. These in turn are given to Jim Morris, chief stooge and assistant, to cure. Without these two the big barn would be a haven for broken down athletes. Instead these jolly men of brawn work and play to their hearts con- tent. For this modern medical miracle, the osteo- pathic ability of Jim plays an integral part. Rub- bing and tugging the sore and bruised muscles does wonders for the patient, and in this revived condition, he dashes out and scores the winning touchdown or touchdowns. This proved that the mighty mite of the training room and the Doc are the real developers of the championship teams of Butler. Such is life.

If this be true then the managers of Butler athletic teams are very bad boys. It was quite an effort to get the boys stopped long enough to get a picture of them. When something goes wrong, the first person that is thought of to lay the blame on are the managers, but their life is not all grief. They take a few trips, and if they are satisfactorily efficient in their work they are rewarded with numerals and letters. So, hail these official stooges of the athletic plant.

That ' s perfectly all right, replied Professor Henry M. Gelston, you see, Butler intends to substitute Purdue for Princeton and Washington and Jefferson for Chicago next year. Purdue is to be the host at Lafayette next year, but in 1938 the Boilermakers will play in the Butler bowl. Another feature in 1937 will be the re- newal, after a seven year lapse, of one of Indiana ' s oldest and bitter- est gridiron rivalries between the DePauw Tiger and the Butler Bull- dog. Wabash, Cincinnati, Valparaiso, Evansville, and ' estern State are the other teams on the eight game schedule. And that is the menu, as announced by Professor Gelston, for the 1937 Butler gridiron machine, which retains many of the stars of the 1936 campaign, in addition to the rhinie stars who are eager to fill the gaps left by the graduating seniors. In 193 6 Tony Hinkle ' s Bulldogs won their third consecutive Indiana Conference football title. The powerful Butler team ran rough shod over Evansville, Manchester, Franklin, and Valparaiso, but they had difficulty beating a stubborn little Wabash team, whose brilliant show of defensive ability not only against the Bulldogs, but against all conference opponents, landed them in second position to Butler in the conference race. The Bulldogs, aiming high, stepped out of conference circles thrice last season to take on teams that are usually ranked in the upper strata of football society. They tied Cincinnati and Chicago, but both of these games might have had happier endings had Dame Fortune distributed the breaks more evenly. The most gratifying victory of the season was the 13 to 7 defeat handed to Western State. Despite the tragedy, which just a few days before resulted in the death of its valiant captain, Spero Costas, the Butler team fought magnificently to come from behind and win in the closing minutes with an amazing aerial attack. Above— JAMES HAUSS BILL CONXOR In the way of material, Coach Hinkie had everything needed for a team of championship caHbre last year. He had rugged, hard- charging tackles in Weger and Hauss; experienced and hard- blocking guards in Crawford and Trott ; speedy and excellent pass- receiving ends in O ' Conner, Bur- dette, and Holmes ; and in Con- ner he had a small, but alert and scrappy center whose passes to the backs were always accurate. In the backfield he had a va- riety of deception, power and speed. Blackaby and Musgrave were usually on the running end of all power plays, and on more than one occasion their smashing drives into the line resulted in first downs, or touchdowns. Welton, whose tiny, lightnin£r-like Above — AXDREW BOA GEORGE PERRY Belozi ' — EDWARD TROTT EMERSON MUSGRAVE steps carried him time and again for sen- sational gains, was a spearhead in the Bulldog offense. Stout, a fine punter and a heady runner, was always a threat to opposing linemen. Costas, passer, blocker, tackier, and field general deluxe, was the sparkplug of the team. His spirit and leadership was ever an important fac- tor in the Hinklemen ' s three year reign as champions. Reserve power last season was more formidable than it has been for several years. Coach Hinkle could substitute for practically every position without weak- ening his lineup. Reserve linemen were plentiful, powerful and experienced. Re- serve backs were talented and could al- ways be shoved into the game when the occasion demanded. They were often called on to relieve the regulars and that they did so with success was witnessed by Andy Boa s aerial display in the Western State game. The fact that material was so excellent should not, however, subtract from the Upper- Lower— can ' t stc l the Kid }, ill important point aftc i ' fml - ' . merits of Coaches Hinkle and Middles- worth. They did a marvelous job of find- ing the winning combination, and they worked relentlessly to develop and perfect that combination. They concentrated on smart football, as well as on power, and they built an attack which was varied with straight power plays, deceptive running plavs and aerial strategy. They worked hard on defense and their efforts were rewarded by the fact that only seven points were scored against the Bulldogs by five conference opponents. In the Chicago, Cincinnati, and Western State games the team ' s defensive ability was impressive and proved that even though it was outweighed it could find ways and means to cope with heavier op- ponents. Tony ' s ' ' good natured wisecracks and Wally ' s gentle but persuasive mid- afternoon speeches extended to the play- ers, spurred them on to greater efforts and new heights, arousing a spirit of teamwork and co-operation between the coaches and players alike. This spirit was also noticed in the stu- dent body when they followed the team loyally to Cincinnati, Chicago, and Craw- fordsville. School spirit, intense and sin- cere, flared to new heights on the campus last year and played an important ]iart in the team ' s successful season. Such were the ingredients, which when put into the Butler bowl, stirred well and allowed to bake for one football season by chief chefs Hinkle and Middlesworth, came out of the oven as a beautiful and pleasant tasting cake inscribed with the sugar letters, STATE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS. In this, its third successive champion- ship march, the Bulldog team won five games and tied two, scoring 211 points to its opponents 32. It was a high scoring and powerful aggregation, and in the Franklin game it ran rampant for 64 points, better than a point a minute. f 1 The followini ■ were held to a 12 t lights of Cincinna :i but after the rest It was the on y ndefeated team in the state and one of the few in the country. It functioned best i s a unit, but it contained many individual stars, such as Black- aby, Costas, Musg r r e, Weger, O ' Conner and Crawford, who were placed by vari- ous sports writers n all-conference teams. The Hinklenje i opened their 1936 hostilities, September 26, in impressive fashion, crushing I v msville, 40 to 0. After a slow start the Bulldogs scored first on the fourth play c f the second quarter, and from then on they couldn ' t be stopped. Three sustained d - v 5s, a fumble, and a 25-yard run by Musgrave accounted for the other scores. 1 1 isgrave led the Butler attack with three touchdowns and one extra point. eek-end, October 3, Butler traveled to Cincinnati, where they 1 2 tie by the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, under the flood- new Xippert stadium.

The heretofore successful Butler run- ning attack was time and again smeared by the Cavemen, and Wabash scored first on a brilliant aerial attack. Their conversion was good, and they led 7 to 0. On the first play following the next kickoff Welton, aided by beautiful blocking, dashed 58 yards for a touchdown. Burdette converted and the score was tied, 7 to 7. In the third quarter, when Klokoski was kicking from behind his goal, Bill Connor, alert center, crashed through to block the kick, the ball bounding out- side the playing field for an au- tomatic safety. This accounted for the Bulldog ' s two-point mar- gin, and they won, 9 to 7, retain- ing possession of the Iron Key and undisputed leadership in the conference race. Doc ' s earning his letter. On Saturday, November 7, the Bulldogs clinched their third straight Indiana confer- ence crown by humbling Valparaiso, 41 to 0. Butler scored in every quarter and smoth- ered the Uhlan ' s aerial attack. The game was featured by Welton ' s 81-yard dash, and the brilliant punting of Valparaiso ' s Willie Karr. Saddened by the tragic death of its cap- tain and quarterback, Spero Costas, the But- ler football team, nevertheless undaunted, re- solved to carry out his cherished hope for an unbeaten season. On Dad ' s Day, Satur- day, November 17, Butler took the field against Western State Teachers. The first quarter ended with no score, but Musgrave ' s 59-yard run, in the second quarter, placed the Bulldogs in scoring position on State ' s 9-yard line. Four plays later Blackaby crashed over for a touchdown and Butler led 6 to as the first half ended. Soon after the second period had started, Western State scored on a quick succession of passes. Their try for extra point was good, and But- ler trailed, 7 to 6. Time after time the Hinklemen were stopped as they headed goal ward, and with less than four minutes to play, Coach Hinkle substituted Andy Boa, who went into the game for the express pur- Butler is experiencing the be- ginning of a new era of footlaall prosperity, and what the future will hold depends upon the stu- dent body, as well as the fellows who fight their hearts out on the gridiron.

Thus ended the most successful season a Butler football team has enjoyed since 1908, when they also finished unbeaten, winning 5 and tying 1, There is no doubt that Butler had one of the greatest teams in its history last year.

If the sobriquet Happy Warrior were not so overworked it would have been an ideal name for Spero Costas, captain and quarter- back of the 1936 Butler football team. Ask his coaches or any man who played with or against him what his greatest assets were and they will tell you that he had aggressiA ' eness and courage above the average, but most of all they will talk about the boy ' s love of the game. Spero Costas lived football. Practice or the real thing, it was all the same to him. It was his meat and drink. Speno, as he was called by his teammates and friends, came to lUitler from Canton, 111., in the fall of 1933. He played freshman football, and his conscientious, bucko spirit, and superb blocking abil- ity quickly marked him as a potential star. When Jim Stewart grad- uated in 1934 Sprig Costas stepped from the freshman team to his position as varsity quarterback. During the seasons of ' 34, ' 35 and 36 Spero was in there calling signals, knocking ' em out of the way for the ball carriers, and being a general all-around utility man. He sacrificed personal glory for the sake of teamwork, and his relentless spirit and brilliant leadership was a highly contributing factor to Butler ' s impressive football record. Off the athletic field Spero was one of those persons who spread about them a feeling of warm comfort and happy quietude and he was blessed with one of those cheerful, almost perpetual smiles which seem to invite intimacy. His passing is deeply mourned by both his teammates and those who knew him off the gridiron as a friend and fellow-student. Spero Costas, a little man with a big heart, did gigantic things and was truly a Happy Warrior. a ketvall There will come a day when the breaks will come our way It will have to be admitted that the last basketball season was rather lean when compared to some of the better campaigns of previous years. In spite of the six wins and fourteen losses, a typical Butler team trotted out on the floor to play the best brand of basketball that they could. The drabness was relieved for those who demand a winning team at all costs, by victories over Michigan State, Indiana State, Marquette, Wis- consin, and a double win over Wabash. The element of luck and a few breaks were prominent in many close games, and next year with a more experienced team they will know liow to make a few breaks for them- selves - ¥ithout doubt it w as a hard schedule, one of the toughest ever booked by Butler. It included many of the country top-ranking ball clubs, and a host of Indiana conference teams. There are three or four reasons accountable for the poor showing, but the most important one was the lack of experienced material. Roiv One — James Morris, Manager; Byron Schofield, Don Wagener, Bill Connor. Row Tzm — Earl Overman, Arthur Gage, Laurel Poland, Bill Merrill, Willard Fawcett, George Perry. Rozi ' Three — Vincent Langston, Manager ; Earl Gerkensmeyer, James Comstock, Bill Geyer, George Hiatt, Frank Petroff, Chester Jaggers, Coach Tony Hinkle. ' atLCjf ttTlf4 V ' iTLf tLf. ,jj_ UTI,4- ■ LEi? l jf .Jl « Jtl£D -. m.fr. When the season opened, Coach Hinkle had just four returning lettermen, and four reserves around which to build his squad. The bulk of his material consisted of juniors and sophomores. Gerkensmeyer, Fawcett, Merrill and Overman were the lettermen, and Wagener, Gage, Schofield and Hauss were the re- serves. Geyer, Comstock, Jaggers, Petroff, Poland, Perry, Hiatt, and Connor were the sophomores that Hinkle worked with. From the above list of names came the various com- binations that Coach Hinkle used as starting line-ups during the season. He shifted around quite a bit, mak- ing use of all his material in an effort to find a win- ning quintet. The Bulldogs opened their schedule December 12 with a loss to Earlham, 33 to 27. Leading at the half 16 to 12, Butler faltered midway in the second period to let the Quaker overcome their lead. Then in the closing minutes of play the Blue defense collapsed entirely, al- lowing Earlham to score four rapid-fire baskets for its 33 to 27 victory. Following the Earlham game came Pittsburgh, on December 14. The rangy and superior passing Smoky City five handed Butler its second defeat, 32 to 21. Although Pitt was leading at the half, 13 to 10, the Bulldogs looked improved and kept within reach of the Panthers with some fancy long shooting.

On December 16 the Bulldogs journeyed to Lafay- ette, where they were smothered by Purdue, 44 to 14. The Purdue team ' s whirlwind attack, and long range passing clicked off points with precision, and its de- fense held Butler to two field goals. The Boilermakers piled up a 25 to 3 lead at the half. Continuing its blis- tering pace in the second half Purdue completely demor- alized the Hinklemen and added 19 points to its 25 for its 44 total. Sines and Young led the Boilermakers with 22 points between them, while Gerkensmeyer was high point man for Butler with 6 points. Tech ' s had boy steals the ball. L GERKEXSMEYER Forzi ' ard GEORGE PERRY Guard Indiana Central ' s Greyhounds handed Butler its next defeat, when they drubbed the Bulldogs in the fieldhouse December 19 by a score of 41 to 27. Trailing 20 to 13 as the second half started, George Perry led a rally that brought the Flinkle- men within three points of the invaders, but this was offset when Crowe, Central forward, went on a scoring spree which resulted in four field goals. Butler never threatened after this. The two teams were fairly even in scoring from the field, but Central outclassed the iUilldogs from the foul line, 11 to 1. The Bulldogs ended their losing streak when they trounced Wisconsin, Deceml er 23, 43 to 23. For the first time in the season the Hinklemen worked the ball un- der the basket instead of resorting to long shots, and they grabbed a 24 to 9 lead at the half. They kept up their pace in the second half and coasted to victory with- out being threatened by the Badgers. Geyer hit four times from the field, and as many from the charity line to lead the Blue attack with 12 points.

It was not, however, un- til the final minutes of the first half that the deluge began. Just one minute before the first pe- riod ended, Indiana hit three times from the field to take a half-time lead, 27 to 13. As the second period opened, Indiana started a scoring rampage which ended only after 23 points had been marked up and the score stood 50 to 20. After this the Bloomington Cjuintet scored at will, while the Hinklemen fired away in vain at the hoop in a fu- tile effort to keep jjace with the sharp shooting Hoosiers. Ken Gunning led the Crimson attack with 15 points, and Earl Gerkens- meyer paced Butler with 9 points. Four days later, on January 5, Butler took on its fourth West- ern Conference foe, when Mich- igan University handed the Blue its sixth set back by a score of 36 to 27. The Wolverine ' s Indiana cciildn ' t stop Gcrk all the time. superior height was an advantage in that they controlled the ball most of the game. Butler played on par with Michigan until the closing minutes of the game, when they wilted before the attack of Johnny Gee, 6 ft. 9 in. Wolverine center, who poured in three field goals to give his team a 10-point lead. Perry was ejected from the game with four personals, a few- minutes later. On January 9 the Bulldogs, playing in South Bend, showed surprising strength when they held the powerful Notre Dame five to a 25 to 24 victory. During the first period the score was tied four times and the lead changed sides four times, but Butler held a 15 to 13 advantage at the half. Butler continued to play on even terms with the Irish in the second half, but they were unable to cope with Notre Dame ' s closing rally. Nowak and Aloir led the Irish with 19 points between them, and Perry was best for Butler with 8 points. Resuming hardwood relations after a lapse of eight years, DePauw defeated Butler, January 14, 29 to 28. The score was close throughout and the Tigers mar- gin of victory came at the foul line. With less than a minute to go and the score tied 28 all, a double foul was called. Mer- rill missed his try, but Bob Franke, De- Pauw center, connected for the game win- ning point. On January 16 Butler played Xavier University in Cincinnati and lost, 28 to 26. A second half rally, led by Gerkensmeyer and Fawcett, brought the Bulldogs within two points of the Musketeers, before the final gun sounded. The Butler guards had trouble stopping Ray Neary, diminu- tive Xavier sophomore, who tallied 17 of his team ' s points. Fawcett with 6 points and Gerkensmever with 8 led for Butler- l-ii-st aiiii tcii—Michigaii ' s ball. I Sutler won its second game of the season when Marquette was defeated 29 to 26, an overtime game in the fieldhouse on January 23. The Alil- waukee cagers led at half time, 12 to 7, but the game was a see-saw battle and the score was tied at the end of regulation time. Jaggers long shot and Gerkensmeyer ' s underbasket attempt and free throw won for the Bulldogs in the extra period. Franklin ended the Hinklemen s one-game win- ning streak when they jolted the Blue, 30 to 27, in the fieldhouse January 28. Butler led at the half, 15 to 14, and increased its lead in the first ten minutes of the second period, 27 to 19. Then the Bulldogs began to fade as Franklin turned on the speed. Homer McCracken, with 12 joints, was high man for the Grizzlies, while Geyer paced Butler with 8 points. The Bulldogs turned in their third victory of the season in thirteen starts when they beat Wa- bash 26 to 13 at Crawfordsville, on February 2. The Little Giants held a 12 to 11 lead at the inter- mission, but a second half spurt by the Blue piled up a comfortable lead and Wabash never threat- ened. Gerkensmeyer, with 8 points, was high man for Butler. The Hinklemen further proved their inability to win two games in a row when they were beaten by Central Normal February 6 in the fieldhouse, 32 to 28. The Warriors, playing a driving game, led at the half, 18 to 17. Englehart and Morris were responsible for 22 of their team ' s points, while Gerkensmeyer led the Bulldogs with a 10- point total. Butler gained its fourth victory of the season when JMicbigan State was toppled 27 to 21, in the lie missed! fieldhouse, February 8. Although the Spartans led at the half, 14 to 11, the Bulldogs spurted after the intermission, and with six minutes to go, they tied the score 21 all- ( lerkensmeyer ' s field goal and free throw, Blackaby ' s two charity tosses, and Geyer ' s foul throw gave the Bulldogs their margin of victory. Merrill lays on an opl onent in an effort to lay one in. Butler journeyed to Franklin to lose its twelfth basketball game to the Franklin Grizzlies, 37 to 22. Although Butler led at the half, 22 to 13, the Grizzlies overcame this lead when Merrill was forced from the game early in the second half, after which the Bulldogs were unable to get con- trol of the ball. Playing on an improvised floor in the small gym, due to the Six Day bicycle race which was being held in the fieldhouse, Butler triumphed over Wabash February 16, 30 to 24. The Hinkle- men led at the half 16 to 14, and Wabash never threatened after this. Gerkensmeyer and Perry, with ten and eight points, respectively, led the Butler attack, and Berns paced Wabash with seven points. February 23, playing at Terre Haute, Butler copped an overtime game from Indiana State, 32 to 28- The Hinklemen tied State at 26 all in the last thirty seconds of play. Geyer s foul shot knotted the count as the Sycamores led 26 to 25, with a half-minute of play remaining, and Faw- cett ' s three rapid-fire field goals in the extra pe- riod gave Butler its sixth victory of the season. Xotre Dame wrote the final chapter of the 1936-37 season, when they handed the Bulldogs a 42 to 17 trouncing at the fieldhouse before 8,500 spectators on February 27. Butler couldn ' t compete with the South Bend five ' s superior height under the basket, and the great offensive play of Johnny Moir and Paul Nowak. Butler held the Irish to a 16 to 10 score at the half time, but as the game wore on, Notre Dame ' s attack started clicking, and they pulled steadily away. Playing top teams of the country next year, a better Butler team will run out on the floor for having played hard this year, and for playing the game with everything they had. This year they will again have the backing that only an Indiana fan can give. May the hd be off the basket next year, and a few more lucky breaks come to our side.

They who run Starting the current track season with two wins, one loss, and one tie, the prospects for a successful outdoor campaign are very optimistic. This year ' s squad, com- posed mainly of exjjerienced seniors, featured many outstanding performers, of which Larry Holmes, dash and hurdle man supreme, was the most outstanding. With one victory and one second in the fifth annual Relays, he led the Butlerites to their best showing since the Relays started. Winston Griffin, ace distance run- ner, forms the driving point of a quintet of powerful distance runners. Theodore Pruyn and J-Iarlan Tyner are the other two senior men in this group. Tyner was Little State two-mile champion last year, and Pruyn is a consistent point-gettei in every meet. The remainder of the aggregation are the two junior men, Milton Weiner and George Richardson, both of whom break the tape in the mile and half-mile runs every Saturday. Carrying over from football and basketball, Inman Blackaby, Jake Weger, William Merrill, Albert Sporer, and Waldo Stout comprise the biggest part of the field event contenders. Blackaby is unde- feated in the shot put, and Waldo Stout, pole vaulter, has been de- feated only once in this year ' s competition. Weger slings the discus, and Sporer and INIerrill throw the javelin. In the short dashes. Bill Geyer, Bernard Breen, Jack Hall, Hilton Atherton, and ' illiam Olsen garner the points that Holmes misses. In the initial meet against Wayne L ' niversity from Detroit, the thinlies scored slams in the mile and half to win, l)ut during the out- door season, ' ayne defeated Butler by scoring slams in the 220 and broad jump. Michigan Normal of Ypsilanti, defeated Butler in the second tilt of the season, but came back to beat Western State bv 48 to 47 the next Saturday. The start of the half mile Terhunc, of Purdue, leads at the halfii ' ay mark in the 440. He zvas beaten. Purdue was the next toe, and the best the Bulldogs could get was a tie. Purdue won the relay and the final event to get a 43 to 43 score to end the program. In the annual Central Intercol- legiate meet at Notre Dame, Plolmes scored six of Butler ' s seven points, while ' einer scored the other point in the mile. After the defeat at the hands of Wayne in the first outdoor en- counter, Purdue handed the sec- ond straight loss to the thinlies. Slams in the broad jum]) and the javelin proved to be too big a handicap to overcome. Earlham, the next foe, received a strong spanking, when Butler scored almost a hundred points to swamp the boys from Richmond. In one small way, it made up for the setbacks received in the bas- ketball game last winter. Weiner and Tyncr lead in the mile. Lawrence Holmes Inman Blackaby Waldo Stout Milton Weiner Harlan Tyxer Ted Pruyn Thc finish of the J JO. Holmes leads iu the lozv hurdles. Journeyini - to Aluncie, the rhillipmen easily defeated Ball State and Central Xormal in a triangular meet. A slam in the mile, the first and second places in six other events quickly mounted the score over 90 points. Pointing always for the Little State championship, the remainder of the season was devoted to building up the weak spots and keeping the strong places in good condition, for this year the prospects for bringing back the crown of track supremacy among the second col- leges in Indiana to Butler appears to be the best in recent vears. RELAYS The Sth edition of the annual Butler Relays definitely proved that the greatest track carni- val in the United States is run in the field- house on the third Saturday in March. From the beginning of the grand march led by beauteous Miss Marjory Zechiel. queen of the by Archie San Romani in the special feature evening ' s festivities, to the breaking of the varn mile. lichigan ' s power in the field events and the short dashes gathered enough points to win the governor ' s trophy, presented by M. Clifford Townsend, governor of the state of Indiana, for the third successive time. Catching a large share of the spotlight was Ohio State ' s ] Iel Walker. Soaring over the crossbar at 6 ft. 9- ' )4 inches, he electrified the crowd by tying the world ' s outdoor record and establishing a new world ' s indoor record. With a performance almost equalling their team mates, the two mile relay team blasted the old record off the books and placed the amazing time of 7 :42.8 in its place. lUitler ' s I arry Holmes captured a first place in the low hurdle dash, and a second place in the high hurdle clash. In the college section, the two mile and mile relay teams placed sec- ond and third, respectively. Incidentally, But- ler took second place in the college section and fifth place in the whole meet, when all the points were totaled. This year ' s show was the acme of all previous meets, but next year and the year following new records will Ije made, and the Butler Re- lays will grow to he lietter and greater with the passing years. 937 It p I V George Richardson Winston Griffin CROSS COUNTRY The Hoosier ridge runners, led by Captain Winston Grif- fin, emerged victorious in five of their scheduled meets. Defeats by Indiana, Michigan State, Miami, and Pittsburgh were the onlv setbacks suffered all season. ' ictories over Purdue, our traditional rivals, Wabash ' s double beating, and Western State highlighted the fall man-killing sport. Griffin, Milton ' einer, Harlan Tyner, and Theodore Pruyn were the returning veterans. George Richardson was the only newcomer to break into the winning column con- sistently, and coupled with Weiner will form the nucleus of next year ' s team. Coached by Flermon Phillips, these athletes spend many a breath taking afternoon running up and down the hills and vales along the canal. Running big time competition, they more than hold their own in every meet. y yi inot V cct a It X cr n tta— yi lii ui U Baseball iMaking a bid to regain much of its lost prestige, the national pastime of milHons of people is forming an ever growing typical following at Butler. Backing the home club to the limit, the school ar- ranged an eighteen-game schedule, having a home and home arrangement with Pur- due, Wabash, DePauw, Indiana Central, and Indiana. Playing state schools, many of them old Butler rivals, is quickly put- ting baseball back on the athletic program as a major sport. So far the season ' s record is slightly on the red side of the ledger, but showing improvement with every game ; many in- dications show the final reckoning will not show a similar picture. Dick Wilson, the new regular catcher has had the big- gest job to fill, and has done a very fine bit of catching since the first game. Clar- ence Laymon, a made-over third baseman, has assumed the regular pitching duties, along with Dog Blackaby. Norval Cor- bett and Lefty Grauel stood by in the relief roles. Joe Macek, Cody Burdette, Silvio Con- stantino, and Laurel Poland cover the in- field from first to third.

Burdette, a holdover letter man from last year, again forms the middle man in many successful double plays. Constantino, the short stop, is a newcomer to the ranks, and received his training on the sandlots of Indianapolis and with amateur Softball teams. His clean hitting and fielding has earned him a sure place on the first nine. Eldon Staller is still a regular, but in a differ- ent position. Last year he played shortstop, while this vcar he holds down the hot corner. Laurel Poland, Andy Boa, Tom Harding, and Jim Hauss cover the outer garden. All are new men on the liall club, and gaining con- fidence and efficency with every game, they are quickly becoming adept in catching and hitting the ever elusive ball. With eight losses and five wins behind them, many of them have been lost because of a booted ball or bad throw, the opposition served to polish their defects, and help them attain the brand of ball of which they are capable. The guiding hand of Coach Tony Hinkle, coupled with willing- ness to hustle and learn shown by every member of the team, has made them a respected foe whenever they walk out on the field in any contest. Experience gained this year, and the addition of a few promising freshmen, will make the Butler baseball team a better one, and next year an undefeated season may be posted on the bulletin board. Walker tries to take off. Football The intra-mural year opened with the customarj- round robin football tourna- ment. It furnished plenty of excitement, with the Sigma Chis carrying off first honors. The Sigs were greatly aided by the fact that their line was very heavy, outweighing even the varsity line. Second place was annexed Ijy the Phi Delta Theta team by defeating the team of Sigma Xu in a play-off. This year ten gold medals were award- ed to the members of the Sigma Chi team and ten silver duplicates to the members of the Phi Delta Theta team. The extra medal was given to the suljstitiite chosen most valuable to each team. Cross-Country The cross-country run was outstanding in two ways. The Lambda Chis walked off with the first five places, and the Phi Delts turned out en masse, their black shirts dotting the course far and wide. William Southworth, who won for Lambda Chi, last year ran the fastest high school mile in the state. Ping-Pong The new baby of the intra-mural de- partment showed great promise of be- coming one of the outstanding sports on The champion keglers. the program. Decidedly keen interest has been shown by all the organized groups and several unorganized factions. This year the sport was greatly enhanced by the presence of James McClure as a member of the Phi Delta Theta team. AlcClure is ranked No. 1 in the LTnited States, and third in the world.

TENNIS Bidding strong to follow the path of past Butler tennis teams, the present aggregation in no way lacks the quality and ability that dis- tinguished their predecessors. Outstanding was the play of Carl Shade, long a contender for city series honors. He led the play of the team in the art of slam- ming and cutting the elusive white pellett into positions where the opponent could not return it successfully. Featuring the five straight wins chalked up on the record board, was the play of Roger Hooker, Don Wagener, Frank Cassell, and John Nackenhorst. Among these victories were Loyola, Louisville U., Indiana State, and other worthy state opponents. Copying the football team, an undefeated season appears to be the goal of the tennis team.

FRESHMEN FOOTBALL Butler 60, Wabash and DePauw 0, are the bare statistical facts concerning the 1936 Butler freshmen football edition. Quickly rally- ing his proteges after a humiliating early season defeat in a practice game with the varsity, Coach Frank Hedden molded an influx of choice former high school talent into a formidable aggregation that disposed of its two-tilt schedule with a neat 25 to win over Wabash and attained a still greater finesse trouncing DePauw 35 to 0. The Bullpups outclassed the little Little Giants in practically every department of the gridiron science, with Thomas Harding, back, rifling a pass to Herbert Schwomeyer, end, to start the scoring fire- works. William Kreag plunged for the extra point and later smashed through for the second touchdown. After the intermission Harding tallied on an off -tackle thrust from the 5-yard marker, and in the fourth period the colored ace sprinted 63 yards for the concluding points. Receiving the opening kickoff in the DePauw fracas, the Blue and White standard bearers didn ' t relinquish the pigskin until a pass from Robert Conner, southpaw quarterback, to Schwomeyer provided a touchdown. The same play gained the extra point. Next, Kreag lugged it over, and then he place-kicked the extra point. Then Harding romped around end for forty yards to tally, and Kreag con- verted. Touchdowns four and five ; Kreag returned a punt sixty yards hehind heau- ti fully executed blocking, and Conner heaved one to George Costas, end, stand- ing in the goal zone. Kreag kicked his third and fourth extra points after these two touchdowns. Channing A ' osloh, back, received a trophy as the team ' s most valuable player, and Con- ner was elected honorary captain. Xumeral winners include Paul Billman, Rex Blacker, Joseph Bolanowski, Jerry Bunnell, Joe But- ler, Hubert Curtis, Henry Davis, John Doty, Paul Herrmann, John Klaybor, X ' ictor Lana- han, Walter Presecan, Phil Reisler, Donald Rudd, Frank Schneider, John Tarpey, Mel- vin Vandermeer, John Watson, Maurice Walsh, Conner, Kreag, Harding, Schwo- meyer, ' osloh and Miner Friend and Thom- as Jenkins, student manager. ll ' clton skirts the end of the greenies.

BASKETBALL After weeding out a squad of twenty-five from an original aspir- ing field of approximately eighty, Mentor Hedden guided the fresh- men basketball team to a record of three victoi ' ies and one setback, later atoned for. Butler connected for 133 points, while their op- ponents sank 96. By virtue of their tallying six score and thirteen digits, the Blue and White rhinies did a Ripley, since the offensive totals of the ' 32- ' 33 and ' 34- ' 35 yearling teams were also 133. Wabash furnished the initial competition, and the Bulldogs, dis- playing complete reversal of form when in practice against the var- sity during daily workouts, were defeated, 31 to 20. Minton, six- foot-six inch center, and Carr shared honors for the winners, while Loren Joseph and Melvin Vandermeer were chief point-getters for the losers. The whole squad saw action in the second game, a 40 to 14 rout of Indiana State, and a week later re-encountered the Crawfordsville first year men, this time dealing the latter out a 37 to 22 lacing. DePauw was the last opponent and Butler emerged from a hard tussle on top, 34 to 30. Row One — Managers Green, Howenstine, Albertson.

Both captured season scoring honors with 29 points apiece. In addition, V ' arsity Coach Hinkle has much promising material in Byron Gunn, Centerville ; Jerome Steiner, Berne ; William Kreag, Kokomo : Robert Conner, Cathedral ( Indianapolis ) ; and Frank Thomas, Marion. Besides the above, numeral winners were Victor Lanahan, Rus- sell Powell, Earl Gibson, and John Watson. Lowell Green and Philip Albertson won their numerals as managers. FRESHMEN TRACK Unlike the freshmen football and basketball teams, the thinly clad yearlings do not engage in much activity. The sum and sub- stance of their collegiate competition is primarily among them- selves. Two tentative meets have been arranged with DePauw and Ball State. Nevertheless, a good bunch of embryo runners and jumpers turn out every afternoon to soak up some of good Or Sol. William Southworth, former Anderson high school star, shows the best possibility of carrying on the name of Butler ' s great dis- tance runners. Southworth ran his heat of the state high school track championships last year in 4:27.8. Maurice Rowe, Ben Davis star, and winner of the other heat in the state, dropped out of school shortly after the beginning of the second semester. Alaybe he isn ' t coming back. Charles Marshall, sprinter, high jumper, and hurdler, is going to be a very handy chap to have around next year. Already he has jumped 6 ft. 2 in., and given Holmes some very fine battles in the hurdles. Charles Parker and David Behr, pole vaulter and distance run- ner, respectively, form the rest of the well-balanced first year team. If all of them come back, the prospects for a very success- ful track season in 1938 are exceptionally good. amen Louise Schulmever Mom Catherine Thompson Kate Rozv One (Across) Marcella McDermott Dorothy Dunbar Joan Jose Harriett Randall Lucille Broich Ruth Hitzklbekcer Betty Giffin Romi Tivo Betty Schissel Betty VVanclin Elaine Oberholtzer Helen Barton Betty Mae Smith Mary Louise Guthier Jeanne Mitchell Peggy Kendall Roiv Three Juliana McIntosh Phyllis Smith Ann Beeger Evelyn King Carolyn Varin Catherine Thompson Margaret Amos Martha Haworth Above — Taking a yolf lesson, Tlwinl son leaching. Rklow — A ncii ' sport for the u-onien. hoekcy. Reorganizing the women ' s athletic pro- gram, ' . A. A., under the guiding hand of Betty Giffin, put into effect a new plan of competition for their members. Changing the old style of inter-sorority competition, which at its best was ineffec- tive, a system of forming clubs for each s]3ort was started. The clubs would be made from members of W. A. A. and act as a team for the duration of time the sport lasts. The first sport on the calendar, weather ]iermitting, was hockey. Off to a fine start, the Scotties and the Terriers prac- ticed for a few weeks and then had a three game series. Roberta Bowsher and Jov Dickens led the Scotties to a two game string of victories to win the title of Butler ' s Female Hockey Champions. The second pastime on the agenda hides under the name of tennis. At the end of the hostilities, a new school cham- pion was crowned. Crashing through six rounds of top flight competition, Mar- garet Kenda ll emerged a smiling modest victor. Jlary Anna Butz, ex-Shortridge star, was runner-up, and in some small way gained a measure of success when she defeated Dorothy Schilling, the de- fending champ, in a semi-final match. Basketball, the one and only Hoosier pastime, and ping-pong clubs carried on the program in a rather halfway fashion. Hampered by the Six-day bike races, the hoopsters f inall) finished a regular knock- down and drag-out schedule. Ann Burg- er ' s team was the best of the better knock- down and drag-outers, and therefore won the league title. The ping-pong tourna- ment started last fall and finished this Bhicgills have a practice. The runner-up and the champ. Etcu Ihc yah play basketball in In Spring, produced a two-time winner. Dorothy Schilling repeated to carry off her second straight ping-pong title. Archery, in its second successful year, produced some more outstanding shooters. Entered in the an- nual state archery meet, sponsored by Indiana Uni- versity, the pupils of Catherine Dead-eye Thompson twanged their way into second place. The parties that pleaded guilty to this achievement were Betty Giffin, Anna Belle Irelan, Mary Kalb, and Lucille AlacDonald. Volleyball, golf, and a horseback riding show yet to be placed before cheering spectators, and from all ap- pearances seen so far, it promises to be a fine program. The aquatic aspirations and ambitions of all Butler coeds find outlet in that nation-wide organization. Blue- gills. These erstwhile swimming champs are the biggest utiHzers of the school ' s $40,000 pool, and by the time radv. the Mississippi river swim is finished, it will need a complete renovation. The annual home-coming cele- brations were further enhanced by the swimming pageant executed with professional technique by Blue- gills. Clothed in all-white suits with a small blue striped border, intricate patterns were formed in the water by the swimmers in time to a musical background. The entrance exams were raised a couple more notches, until a person has to be a national champ or a fish to get in. Speed and endurance swimming, diving, and the rudiments of life saving are small part of the exam. It reads like a final. Dorothy Schilling directed the natatorial activities for the past year. By the end of the present decade the returns from the State telegraphic meet and the national telegraphic meet will have been received, and the present group of students can read them in their weekly newspaper.

' bi I V it i e ss The MSS, Butler ' s one and only magazine with a literary purpose, came out in four editions this last year. Serving as a laboratory for creative writing among Butler students, AISS has provided a source of publication for any piece of writing worthy of special literary attention. In an effort to save the lowly freshman much embarrassment the directors of the magazine decided to divide the material into two sections, the upperclassmen section and the freshman section. Each section has its own staff and editor. Jane Beuret served throughout the year as editor of the upper- classman section and the editorship of the freshman section rotated among members of the staff. Dr. Allegra Stewart and Mr. Don Sparks, both of the English department, were the chief censors of the copy written by the aspiring authors. Included among the other stories in the last edition of MSS were the winning selections of the all-school literary contest. J. NE Beuret Chief -of -Staff William Olsen Editor The Big Cheese at zvork.

Some worked from last fall to the deadline, some started in the middle of the year, and some of the trusty staff, may their souls rest in peace, didn ' t do much work any of the time. To those that were faithful to the cause, the management extends their sincere thanks ; for without those precious few, this book would not be dedicated to posterity but to the well known ash-heap. The work was originally planned so that no one would have to do all of the drudgery, most of all, the editor and business manager. In spite of all the management could do, days that were set aside for work were spent in gabbing, and the days set aside for gabbing were spent doing just that. May the future editors have better luck. Goo-Goo Smith walked off with all the hon- ors for the second successive year in the field of assisting and picture taking. Yes, no truer word was ever spoken, indispensable is the word for Goo-Goo. The resume of the sporting events during the past year was written by I ' ll have it done next week, niavbe Nelson Collins and Angelo An- 7i 1937 gelopolous. Xevertheless, it was finally finished, and everybody was completely satisfied. Betty Schissel was the female counterpart. Editor-elect Thompson, Carolyn Wirin, Dill Hart, and Grace Fairchild wrote and rewrote the copy for the clubs and activities. Ruth Hitzel- burger, although she didn ' t come around to get her picture taken, fixed the sororities in their present printable form. She will receive all complaints at home over the telephone. Marjorie Zechiel, the typical associate editor, Betty Schroeder, and Harriet Randall functioned chiefly in the role of those story book TAKE A LETTER girls. They are most emphatically necessary to a smooth running machine ( ?) like the Drift. Tom Connolly, chief — flunkeyed himself into the business manager ' s post. The editors of the 1937 Drift thank everyhodv for all the cooperation that was given to them, and for all the future Drifts, we wish them the best of good luck in everything they undertake. =UJ t l j:t id ' w 1 Guildford Pe. rce Business Manager He spent most of the money. Gad paid for it. The Kappa ' writers. And the Kappa typers. Albert McCord Editor — First Semester Robert Straughn Editor — Second Semester Printed quad-weekly, with and without mistakes, the Collegian supplied the stu- dent body with a smattering of the school news during the past year. Albert Mc- Cord, now a full-fledged city editor, di- rected and edited the paper for the first semester. Having the same troubles with a recalcitrant staff that his predecessors had, he worked late enough during the night to turn out a shiny black and white paper for the students to read during their first class. Robert Straughn, first assistant to Mc- Cord, assumed the editor ' s post at the be- ginning of the second semester. Clay Trusty was chosen as the managing edi- tor, which is another name for chief flunky to the editor. Beatrice Waiss, make-up editor, was responsible for all the typographical errors, when and if they appeared. a ca i a n Marjoiy Andrews was the boss of the assistant city editors, namely, Joel Williams, Helen Ross Smith, Simon Reisler, and Kathryn Kilby. Professor Russell Hammargren assumed the responsibility of training the reporters, and that was no small responsibility. Some never go to class, let alone do any reporting for the next days paper. Nevertheless, there were a few outstanchng reporters who showed some very promising ability. James Hanna, Viola Francisco, Wayne Trulock, and Frank Hamp carried most of the burden, and incedent- ally, most of the weekly awards given by Sigma Delta Chi and the Collegian. Dorothy Shepperd pacified the eternal feminine thirst for public- ity, and put many of the names of the fair sex in the society column. Those that she couldn ' t remember, Jeanne Mitchell and Martha Hay- worth assisted in recording in the quad-weekly publication. Ellsworth Maxwell was the time honored office joker, in that he endeavored to place very humerous remarks on feature stories that some dumb reporter spent most of the day writing. Mr. Maxwell, without a doubt, won many of these humorous quipping bouts. Well, somebody has to keep up the flagging spirit on some of the dull after- noons, when the prospect of a number one story seems to be hidden in the dark future. Jac Ochiltree Editor-in-Grief DIRECTORY Although it was rather late, the ill-fated student directory finally appeared after Xmas vacation. The fifteen cent product of editor Jac Ochiltree received the coup d ' grace when the sale of all copies was prohibited by the administration because of several ob- jectional features. It would not be beating around the bush to say that a few pages were extraordinarily odd, when one has to consider the type of thing that appears in the average directory. However, in a short time the semester had ended, and Guildford Pearce had assumed the direction of the derelict. The editor had departed for parts distant, to be exact, the University of Wisconsin. Revision of the offending pages followed in quick succes- sion, and the expergated copies went on sale. If a bit of editorial comment may be per- mitted, the student body is no doubt behind the Drift, when they hope that in the future a correct and prompt directory will be made next year. A source of information, such as is supplied by the directory, is badly needed at the beginning of the semester, and all comic strip features should not be per- mitted.

Keeping steadily on the job under the supervision of Chairman Robert Cash, the election committee managed to get twelve class officers and five queens into their respective positions, but only after some pointers from former council members on how the somewhat complicated Hare-Spence system works. Much discussion at the time of the relay queen election resulted in abolishing the former election method, and opened the vote to all male students of the school. Two cups were then given to the sorority and fraternity which sold the most tickets. Early in the school year members of the present council realized the need for a hold-over council system, which would retain a certain number of sophomores and juniors for a second term. By the new plan the members felt that the council might be more easily continued from year to year and that its projects might be completed with as little delay as possible. By an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the student body in a special registration clay election, the new system, which provides for an increase in council members from 12 to 14 and the hold-over of three junior and two sophomore members, was inaugurated. Waldo Stout wielded the gavel in the Y. W. C. A. room on alternate Monday evenings. Ralph Taylor took over the secretarial position after Mary Lou Colvin was unable to assume the responsibility because of a conflicting class schedule. PHIKAPPAPH! A wise man is a great wonder ' — so savs the old proverb — and so a word here about these men and women whose sincere efforts have cidmi- nated in winning the school ' s highest honor, will be well in order. ]Members are chosen, not because they have been prominent in some activity, but because they have displayed genuine scholastic ability. Elec- tion is based entirely on this, for faculty members do the choosing. Twice a year the faculty committee selects its prospective members from the upper tenth of the senior class. The founders of Phi Kappa Phi had a definite purpose for their organization. Acknowledging the importance of encouraging scholarship in all lines of study, members were chosen from all departments of the university. By recognition through election to membership they hoped to stimulate mental achievement and give it its legitimate place among the varied interests of the student . Realizing that the inadequacy of the aver- age student ' s idea of a university can be significant only when its faculty and its students are unified by their purpose, the membership of Phi Kappa Phi represents the unity of effort manifested in the divergent colleges of a modern university. The Butler chapter of this national organization was founded in 1922. Dr. Earl R. Beckner, faculty president, presided at the annual initia- tion and banquet given in honor of the new members.

Fourteen new spring initiates were accepted into the organization which recjuires a 2.25 grade point average. This class was large and more fresh- men are expected to make the grade with the completion of the spring semester. Although they are mentally able to care for themselves, nevertheless they are led by their faculty sponsor, Merwyn G. Bridenstine, and assisted by Prof. A. D. Beeler, honorary member of the organization. The officers of the club are Alexander Kahn, president ; Kenneth Woolling, vice- president : James Comstock, secretary ; and William Davis, treasurer. At the end of the first six weeks the organization gave a party at the home of Prof. Bridenstine for prospective freshman members. Formal initiation was held March 2i, and was followed by a banquet. Several periodic meetings were held throughout the semester and a picnic was planned and held, proving that scholastic endeavor is not the only occupa- tion of the upper crust. Alexander Kahn, the local president, was sent as the representative of the Butler chapter to the national convention of Phi Eta Sigma. The con- vention, which was held this year at the University of Alabama, is held bi- annually and each college having a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma sends a rep- resentative. PHI CHI NU All young Phi Chi Nus may not grow into Phi Kappa Phis in their senior year, but it ' s certainly a promising beginning. Anyway, entertain- ments are scarce in the life of any hard -working freshmen. ■ After the first six weeks in the autumn, a tea is given in honor of those freshmen women who have shown marked scholastic ability in that period of their first year. If such ability has proven itself to be that of the true intellectual by the end of the semester, these girls are initiated into the order of Phi Chi Nu, an honor of which they can be justly proud. This year initiation ceremonies were held in March for twenty-five girls. Although the tea which is held in the autumn for prospective members was the major social function, the girls also took part in the annual May Day celebration by serving as ushers. Approximately everv two weeks a meeting and spread were held at the various sororitj ' houses for the pur- pose of promoting mutual interests and friendships. Dr. Janet McDonald ' s was the guiding hand of the faculty during 1937. Officers who presided at the bi-monthly meetings were : Mildred Scales, president: Catherine Clay, vice-president: Hetty Schissel, secretary; Chloris Bell, treasurer.

In order to replace the Skull ' s club with something besides brawn, and still maintain their scholastic ideals, Blue Key, national senior men ' s honorary organization, granted the Skulls a charter, thereby eliminating another of Butler ' s oldest organizations. Blue Key has developed into one of the most active honoraries at Butler. They select men from the junior ranks who are well fitted scho- lastically, socially, and physicially to carry on Blue Key traditions. The club each year sponsors the annual Blue Key football banquet where awards are presented to the gridders, varsity and frosh. The dinner is a stag affair and interesting after-dinner speeches are presented by some well known sports lumniary. Such well known sports figures as Bob Xewhall, W ' LW ace sports commentator, and Fritz Crisler, Princeton University football coach, have been the principal speakers. In an effort to place some tangible object as the basis of rivalry, the local chapter, in conjunction with the Wabash chapter, presented to the two schools the old Iron Key, emblem of football supremacy between the two institutions. This key is transferrable to the victor each year. After the collapse of the Fairview Follies, and in an effort to compete with the Y. M. C. A. Geneva Stunts, the Blue Keyhole stunts were dedi- cated by Blue Key to fill the gap left by the departure of the previous theatrical venture. Rallying behind Blue Key, all the campus fraternities submitted entries to start the first presentation at a fast pace, which has never diminished. Theodore Pruyn directed the activities as all efficient presidents do, assisted by Charles McDaniels, vice-president ; and Harlan Tyner, secre- tary-treasurer. SCARLET QUILL Requiring a high scholastic record, an interest in the activities and affairs of the university, and an outstanding personality, membership in Scarlet Quill is truly one of the highest honors which can be accorded to a senior woman. Selection of new members is made at May Day in a surprise capping service when 12 worthy juniors are honored. Initiation for new members is held at the end of the junior year and membership is denoted by a scarlet quill worn on the back of senior jackets. As part of its program Scarlet Quill each year awards a scholarship to some worthy sophomore girl who has had outstanding scholarship during her first three semesters in Butler. Dorothy Sparrow was the recipient of the award this year. Money for the scholarship was raised this year by assisting Blue Key in putting on the Homecoming dance and by their St. Patrick ' s bridge party. Small favors were sold to the student body on St. Patrick ' s day in an endeavor to increase the fund. ! Irs. Alice Bidwel! ' esenberg, faculty sponsor, entertained the ac- tives at dinner in the fall and gave a tea in the late spring for all alumnae members of the organization. Monthly spreads and meetings were held at the various sorority houses. Phyllis Smith, president : Margaret Kapp, A ' ice-president ; Frances Sewell, secretary; and Marillyo Knauss, treasurer, were the officers at the monthly meetings.

The result was the drive to bring back old-time traditions that flourish- ed on the old Irvington campus, that were lost in the transposition to the present location. Cooperating with the administration. Blue Key, Utes, and other school organizations, a resemblance to the school spirit of yore was established, ' eekly pep sessions, climaxed with a monster demon- stration before the Chicago game, and the huge bonfire before the Home- coming game, became a normal activity to every progressive-minded stu- dent. The traditional Relay dance broke another tradition, and came out on the black side of the ledger. The crowning of the Relay queen, JMarjorie Zechiel, and the announcing of the new pledges high-lighted the evening ' s entertainment on the roof of the Severin hotel. Willard Fawcett, president ; Robert Maxey, vice-president : Roger Hooker, secretary ; and Frank Cassel, treasurer all contributed to the building of a new Sphinx club. Coach Herman Phillips succeeded Don Sparks as the faculty sponsor at the first of the year. CHIMES The small golden insignia of Chimes is an emblem eagerly sought and proudly worn by those women who have been found to possess the re- quisites for membership. Each spring, eight sophomore women with a scholastic average of at least 1.8, who have been actively engaged in cur- ricular organizations, are pledged to carry on the work of the club during their junior year. Since the club was founded in 1924, it has consistently developed into an important part of school affairs. During registration week, Chimes members act the part of big sisters to the incoming freshmen women, and continue to advise them through the remainder of the school year. The big event of the fiscal year was the formal Sweetheart Dinner held annually. None of the opposite sex were admitted which necessitated the members donning the formal attire and escorting their guests to the affair. Two all school tea dances were given at the campus in Xovember and March, at which the usual order of etiquette was reversed. The result was a smashing success. Bring-a-dish spreads were held once a month at the different sororities. Business meetings were followed by round table discussions of school affairs. Caroline Rehm acted as president, Georgia Foster as vice- president, Marjory Zechiel as treasurer, and Betty Weier as secretary. Roiv One (Across) C.

Crawford Rozv Tzvo Bill Connor John J. Crawford Robert Cox Robert Walker, President Dr. N ester Albert Sporer Russell Helm Kenneth Wooling Edward New UTES Functioning truly as an honorary organization for the Sophomore class, the Utes, a group of select second year men, carried on an enviable program during the past school year. Bearing the hrunt of the attack as officers in the worthy organization were, Robert ' alker, president ; Robert Cox, vice-president ; Vincent Langston, secretary; and Jack Roberts, treasurer. Roberts left school at Thanksgiving time and the duties of exchequer were turned over to Russell Helm. L ' pon his death William Connor was elected treasurer and served out the remainder of the year. Due to class schedule interfer- ing with meetings Langston turned over the secretarial duties to Rolla Burkhard. Among the more laudable activities of L ' tes was th e planting of the traditional tree on the Fairview campus, the giving of the annual dance at which time a cup was awarded to the most popular candidate from those submitted by each fraternity. The winner for this year was Earl Gerkens- meyer of Phi Delta Theta. At the end of the basketball season, L ' tes gave a banquet for the varsity and freshman basketball teams. The scene of the banquet was the North AI. E. Church and the program consisted of speeches by Walter Geisel, American League umpire, John W. Thompson, associate sports editor of the Indianapolis Times, Coach Paul D. Hinkle, Prof. Henry M. Gelston, who announced the letter winners. William F. Fox, sports columnist for the Indianapolis News acted as master of ceremonies. At the last meeting in jMarch twenty-four freshman men were selected as pledges to be initiated and carry on the tradition of Utes next year. SPURS Through smiles and wiles, these members of the sophomore women ' s honorary organization inveigled Butler eds and coeds into spending their nickles and pennies on balloons and roses during the school year, not to mention tickets to their many and varied functions. The establishing of a Rose Day ' ' in connection with the Freshman Rose Dance and the custom of selling football balloons at the Home- coming game were the outcome of a tradition drive on the part of an upperclass men ' s honorary organization — and incidentally a way of re- plenishing the ever dwindling Spur ' s treasury. Other highly successful ventures, which the girls indulged in this year, were a benefit bridge party which was held at Banner-Whitehill ' s and their annual Kid Kaper party in honor of freshman women, for which the girls dug out summer tennis shorts and appropriate hairbows. As usual they assisted in decorating the fieldhouse for the Butler Relays and later in the sprin g helped serve at the May Day festival. New pledges of the organization were announced late in the spring, when in a traditional manner, the Spurs in their white uniforms serenaded the various sororities and spiked the chosen frosh. The year ' s activities were brought to a close with a dance in honor of the new pledges and alumnae. Betty Wangelin served in the capacity of chief gavel-wielder and was assisted by Chloris Bell, vice-president ; Catherine Clay, secretary ; Barbara French, treasurer ; and Thelma Martin, Spur correspondent. Elizabeth Henderson, representative at the national Spurs convention held March 22, 23, and 24, on the campi of the University of Idaho and the Uni- versity of Washington, was elected national vice-president.

These members collaborated and from their ideas there arose on the Fairview campus the Alfred Marshall society. The society is open to majors in economics who rank high in scholarship and show ability in economics. President James W. Putnam, Prof. Chester B. Camp, and Dr. Merwyn G. Bridenstine were among the founders of the organization. The society was named after the noted economist of the nineteenth century, Alfred j Iarshall. The organization was brought into existence on January 17, 1931, but in the last few years the existence has been rather meager. The purpose of the club is to reward these students who have shown achievement in the field of economics and business administration. The club also hopes to stimulate greater scholarship among its members. In the past year, the Alfred Marshall society has not increased their enrollment any and their existence has been purely honorary. George Craycraft is the president and is ably assisted by Charlotte Gillie, secre- tary-treasurer ; Ted Pruyn, vice-president; and Joseph Calderon, sergeant- at-arms. The club usually initiates new members into the organization once a year. SIGMA TAU DELTA Although one of the youngest literary organizations on the Butler campus, Sigma Tau Delta has proven itself, in its two years of existence, to be one of the most worthy of recognition. As sponsors of MSS, a magazine which ranks high among school publications, here is an honorary in which membership is truly a distinction. Being a national professional literary fraternity, requisite qualifica- tions for membership are necessarily high. A prospective member must have the ability to maintain a high scholastic standing ; prove that he has talent and a genuine interest in writing, and must have had a certain amount of work published in AISS. Freshmen are eligible for member- ship at the end of the second semester. However, the organization does not confine its literary activities to the magazine publication. Interesting programs are planned for the meet- ings which are held every other Thursday afternoon in the Graydon Memorial Library. At alternate meetings original short stories and sketches are read by members. Entertainment for the other meetings consists of discussions on regionalism and certain regional writers. Par- ticipating in these discussions are sponsor, Dr. Allegra Stewart and hon- orary member Mrs. Wesenberg. Officers who served at these gatherings of the literati are: President, Grace Ferguson; vice-president, Robert Ayres ; secretary, Margaret Spencer.

Another annual Journalism I ' ield Day was the most important under- taking as far as the local chapter was concerned. Several hundred high school students were attracted to the Fairview campus to hear state and local celebrieties speak on the modern phases of newspaper production. Among the other numerous projects included in the yearly program was the presentation of the trophy for the best weekly paper in the state, during the Indiana Press Association ' s conference held in Indianap- olis this spring; and the sponsorship of several professional meetings, at which local editors and newspaper officials spoke. The traditional Blanket Hop was held during the Thanksgiving vaca- tion. Emerson Alusgrave received the most valuable player award for his exceptional playing on the state secondary championship football squad. Senior players received the usual gold footballs for their participa- tion on the team. Hugh Quill, president ; Xorval Ayers, vice-president : Stanley Kent, treasurer ; and John Galvin, secretary held the organization faithful to the journalistic morals and ideals stated in the charter. THETA SIGMA PHI Established expressively to bring together women professionally in- terested in journalism, Theta Sigma Phi members are distinguished not only by their Matrix emblem, but as an organization of noteworthy appeal around Butler. Guided bv Edna Feidler, these women, in good junior standing, ac- tively participated in the production of the Collegian, made an outstanding scholastic record, and completed a very ambitious program halted only by the customary final exams. Their Matrix Table affair, which is held every year in honor of all the other 200 prominent women on the campus, held the spotlight of all their attention. In keeping with their practice of having a well known literary celebrity speak, Mrs. Bertita Harding, author of several widely read novels, was the guest speaker. In the fall, the Riters Round-up was featured by the traditional Razz Sheet. Private life was at a premium for some time preceeding the issu- ance of this tell-all. Another form of the Theta Sig versatility and journalistic triumph is proved by the special edition of the May Day Collegian, handled to its completion by Theta Sigma Phi. Marian Messick, vice-president ; Helen Ross Smith, secretary ; and Mary Lou Colvin, treasurer were the chief flunkies during these festivities.

This organization is open to junior women who are majoring in the domestic sciences, and have displayed sufficient talent to warrant special dis- tinction. Geraldine Broyles was elected the chief cook ; Francis Sewell, assistant chef ; Marilyn Knauss, treasurer ; and Lois Rietzel, secretary. The culin- ary aspiration of the club was watched by Miss Helen Cade and Miss Kathryn Journey of the faculty. WOMEN ' S LEAGUE Women ' s League, whose purpose is to create a unified spirit among the women and to imbue the students with an enthusiasm for all worthy ac- tivities, is one of the largest organizations in the school. During the past year the activities of the club included a state wide activities conference, the annual Women ' s League attendance luncheon and matinee talks sponsored at intervals during the year. As usual, they assisted with the annual May Day celebration in conjunction with Thespis, the dramatic organization. j Iartha Shepperd presided at the past year ' s meetings with Ellen Hamilton, Ruby Gene Beaver, and Charlotte Gillie assisting in the administration of the club affairs. Y. W. C. A. The Butler Young Women ' s Christian Association is an integral part of the national Y. W. C. A. organization. With the purpose to further the higher interests of coeds, the organization offers membership to any woman student, with the result that it has one of the largest groups in school. Activities of the organization were prominent in the schools program this last year. Two all-school sings were held, one in the fall at a bon- fire pep session and a competitive sing in the spring down in the formal gardens. The annual doll show and sale at Christmas time was entered by all of the women ' s organizations and the proceeds and some of the remaining were given to the Riley hospital. Geneva Stunts was presented November 18, and April 21, at which time each sororit entered a stunt in competition for a loving cup. Profits from these were used to send a representative to the Geneva Training Camp for the summer Y. W. C. A. conference, at Geneva, Wisconsin. Other activities of the group included a style show, several Wednesday afternoon tea talks by prominent women, and a Mothers Tea in J ' Iay. The governing board is made up of the four officers and the cabinet. They are Helen Rogge, president ; Phyllis Smith, vice-president ; Alarian Nlessick, secretarv : and Ruth Stultz, treasurer; ] Iarjory Zechiel, Geneva Stunts ; Margaret Kapp, girl reserves ; Alice Marie Woolling, social serv- ice ; Bettv Davenport, program ; Mary Anna Butz, student industrial ; Jane Colsher, interacial ; Wilma Williams, devotional ; Joy Dickens, world fel- lowship ; and Marjory Hennis, social.

The organization each year sponsors a high school debate tournament in which the leading teams from the high schools of Indiana partici- pate. At the end of the school year. Tan Kappa Alpha gives a banquet for the debaters, the faculty and speech students. At this time awards are made for outstanding forensic accomplish- ments, and pledges for Tau Kappa Alpha are an- nounced. Officers are Joe Calderon, president : Jean Knowlton, vice-president ; and Valentine Wil- Hams, secretary-treasurer. Charles H. Walters acted as faculty advisor. DEBATE This year ' s debate squad experienced one of the most successful seasons of recent years. Con- forming to the rules set out by the Midwest De- bate League, the team debated the question, re- solved: That an extension of consumer cooper- atives would contribute to public welfare. Prospects for next year ' s team are excellent. Thirty-five candidates tried out for this year ' s team and with the help of the freshman debaters, Coach Charles H. Walters will have ample ma- terial to build a team that will carry on the excellent work of this year ' s squad. KAPPA DELTA P They say that knowledge is power — so these future brain-trusters ought to be well on their way to success, for Kappa Delta Pi accepts only the best. In accordance with the constantly increasing interest in educational development, the organization was founded on the Butler University campus in 1931. It has continued to exist and to become increasingly attractive to student-teachers who are interested in the scientific study of educational problems. The organization is open to juniors and seniors who manifest interest in the teaching profession — so much so that they have maintained at least a B average throughout their first two college years. Meetings were held each month either at homes of members or in Jordan Hall, and included instructive programs in which all the members participated. These were largely round-table discussions on educational topics. In the spring a formal banquet was held at which members presented a plaque to the outstanding all-round student in the University, selected by a committee of the organization. An interested and active participant in the club was Professor Irvin T. Schultz, facult} ' sponsor for the year. The presiding officer was Francis Funke.

For the first time in many years, this year ' s board did not have to spend sleepless nights in an effort to figure out a way to pay for the Fairview Follies. Headed by the Delt prexy, Frederick Kershner, the influence of the board was brought to bear on the freshmen and they were again seen wear- ing pots on the campus. The pots were a mite late, and the week after school began was a period of truce. The rhinies must have liked to wear the blue and white creations after they arrived, because hair cutting was conspiciously absent. The only outbreak that the frosh were permitted was the painting of their class numerals on the front of the Campus Club, over which the board has no jurisdiction. The annual Men ' s Union fall dance was the usual success that everyone expects from such men. For the first time in many years, the books showed a black balance which did not have to be confiscated by those mean old creditors. Starting a new era in the governing of the Men ' s Union, the future looks very rosy for their successors.

Only the best horn tooters are eligible, and they have to be the best. Out of a group of eighty persons, only fourteen or fifteen make up the roster. In the middle of the year, Ellis Carroll, band director, was elected to an honorary membership for his outstanding achievement in building up the present organization. ( ieorge Arnold served as the only officer and president during the past year. SOCIOLOGY Sociology Club was reorganized on the Butler campus early in the second semester of this year, largely through the efforts of its present sponsor, Dr. James H. Peeling. Requiring that a student be a junior, a sociol- ogy major, and have a B average in their major subject, the club is restricted to a very select mem- bership. ] Ieetings are held twice a month, to which guest speakers are frequently invited. The purpose of the club is to further an interest in the student ' s major subject, sociology, and to assist in making valuable outside contacts which will assist the students when they get out of school. BAND They push the first valve down and the music goes round and ' round and it comes out from behind the doors which are aptly labeled with the appropriate but inadequate caption : Please keep the door closed when the band is playing. The caption became a necessity when the band increased its member- ship to the high peak of 70 instrumentalists through a drive to capture new tooters. Unfortunately the added personnel also added to the general din created at 11 :40 three times a week from the southeast wing. However, according to Director Ellis E. Carroll, the musical ability of the band in- creased 100%, ' which leaves the previous bands with approximately nothing. The school spirit was greatly pepped up by the band at the football and basketball games, and in some cases the melody-makers furnished all the pep. The Butler band went en masse to the Chicago-Butler football game and with the dexterity of a military band, out-manuvered and out- played their hosts from Chicago University. Great was the joy of the Butler fans to see the boys marching perfectly around the Chicago stadium in their new blue and white uniforms. The performance was repeated at Wabash, and for the home-town fans at all home games. Joseph Tilford was the leader of the Boys in Blue for the first semester while George Carothers took to the helm during semester II. During the school year the band functioned creditably at all-school chapel-- ' , honor day, founders ' day. May Day, commencement, and at con- certs. Director Carroll took over his position soon after his graduation from Butler, when Mr. J. B. Vandaworker, Director Emeritus, resigned as director after many years of leadership. CHOIR The singing talents and ambitions of Butler men and women are given further impetus in the university choir l)y Dr. Donald C. Gille} ' , director, who develops and promotes individual musical ability which is outstanding in secular and religious singing. Each performance throughout the state was an individual triumph, and was marked by a sincere appreciation of the fine accomplishments of the group. Successful programs were presented at Ft. Wayne before the members of the convention of the Disciples of Christ, various churches in the city, and student chapels. The solemnity and reverence of the Baccalaureate service and Com- mencement program was made more impressive by the presentation of several selections, and a musical background of gay May Day songs sup- plied a delightful accompaniment for the annual festivities. Before any prospective member can obtain a place in this choral group, he must prove not only that he has musical talent, but a sincere interest in singing, and sufficient time to attend the bi-weekly practices. Only prac- tice will produce proficiency. Sacred and secular compositions are sung by the choir, frequently with- out accompaniment, which makes the task doubly difficult. Taking an active part in various school programs and outside activities, the choir looks forward to future years filled with greater triumphs and greater appreciations of their worthy efforts.

And on that large stage are many, many smaller stages, one of which is located in Jordan hall. This stage, more commonly referred to as the Thespis A orkshop, has contributed more than its share to the theater world dur- ing the past year. Although small, it has upheld productions, gigantic in their importance to the Arts. Those pictured above know this stage well. It is largely through their efforts and the facilities of that little stage in the basement that Thespis has attained its high place in the field of dramatics. To give any adequate indication of the activities of Thespis for the past year on this page would be impossible. Even a bare recording of their program would fill such a volume as this book. But we can list briefly the more outstanding of the Thespian accomplishments for the year past. Plays such as, The Flattering Word, The House of Juke, and The Lamp and the Bell, were given before large and appreciative houses. The latter play was given as the major production of the year on May Day in the formal gardens of the Fairview campus. The play with its romantic theme was quite lovely in these natural surroundings. Because of the success of the past season the director of Thespis, ] Irs. Jane Ogburn Bruce, and the officers, David Thompson, president ; Edna Fiedler, vice-president ; Kathryn Kilby, secretary : and CaroHne Rehm, treasurer, feel justly proud of their positions and are looking forward to the continued success of Thespis in the seasons to come. Things started, and done well, continue in spite of opposition.

Composed of approximately twenty students, the club elected Jeanetta Fields president, William Bolin vice-president, and Doris Ellis, secretary-treasurer. Cooperating with Guy H. Shadinger and Karl S. Means, who are the faculty sponsors, they managed to attract some interesting speakers to meetings now and then. Field trips are taken to concerns throughout the city to learn the modern commercialization of the theories learned in the classroom. New gen- erations of chem majors have become so interest- ed, it is doubted the Catalytic club will wane into inactivity as did it predecessor. MATH CLUB ■ ' The broadening and intensifying of students interest in the knowledge of mathematics through the discussion of problems beyond the scope of the classroom, is the purpose of the Alath club. This sounds very scholarly, but all is not gold that glistens. Social activities are not entirely forgotten, as proved by the Christmas party and spring picnic. A few meetings are passed away star gazing and the principles of Gallileo are proven or dis- carded in the heated debates. These historic battles subsided long enough to get John St. Helens elected chief calculator ; Mildred Rugen- stein, assistant chief calculator ; Margaret Stump, secretary ; and John Thurston, treasurer. All of this activity is under the watchful eye of Miss Juna Lutz, the faculty sponsor.

Monthly meetings were held at fraternity and sorority houses and in private homes. These meetings carried a program that was designed to cultivate an appreciation and interest in Spanish affairs. Miss Florence Alorrison of the Romance language department served as faculty sponsor for the club, working with the officers; Joy Dickens, president ; Ruth Davis, vice-president ; Francis Funke, secretary ; and Charles Aufder- heide, treasurer. CLASSICAL CLUB Throwing its membership open to any student who has participated in any type of classical language work, the Classical club rounded out a very successful year as one of the oldest organiza- tions on the campus. At their monthly meeting the members dis- cussed such aspects of ancient life as could not be treated in the classroom. It was their purpose to seek to foster a new interest in the classics, thus enriching their knowledge of the subject. Dr. Gelston, faculty sponsor, and the officers, Dorothy Gray, president ; Dorothy Sparrow, vice- president ; Mary League, secretary ; and Sarah Frazer, treasurer ; lead the meeting discussions. B. L A, Since its origin in 1932, the Butler Independent Association has made great strides in the way of organizing an adequate group interested in the activities of the unorganized students. Under the able leadership of Kenneth Speicher, B. I. A. created and completed a well balanced program of parties, dances, mixers, and the necessary business meetings. The big social event of the year sponsored by B. I. A. was the Alid- Term dance at which the outstanding dance couple was selected. The winning combination for the past year was Betty Weier and Franklin Fleece. They were selected by Jac Broderic, local dance instructor. B. I. A. was active throughout the year in the intra-mural sports but, was never quite successful in carrying off a title. They did very well in the basketball competition, finishing second in their league. Initiation was held twice last year. Once in the fall and again in the spring. Nearly sixty new members were taken into the organization on these occasions. Serving with Speicher as officers for the past year were. Martha ' an Talge, vice-president ; Thelma Alartin, secretary ; and Edwin .VUender, treasurer.

M. C A. With a renewed interest on the part of the men students, the Butler Y. M. C. A. has made evident marks this year. A definite organization headed by Harlan Tyner, ' d 7 , as president, and David Thompson, ' 39, as secretary, has planned, and with the aid of several committee chairmen, car- ried out a broadening program of activities throughout the year. Among these have been din- ners with speakers, cabinet meetings, all-Y meet- ings, provision for chapel speakers, a freshman party in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A., and personal counselling. SODA CLUB The roster of this club contains only the names of sons and daughters whose parents attended Butler. Some have traveled far to attend the school of their parents, but most of them live in Indianapolis, which proves that Butler grads stay at home to make their mark in life. No doubt many of the older generation would find school life a bit different from what they experienced on the old Butler campus in Irvington. Like their parents, the members are a driving force behind many a school project. Tradition is being formed, and may it continue with the next generation. v ' . ' u ' One (Across) Miss Sarah T.

LiLJE- PHILOKUREAN ZOOLOGY Originally founded on the campus in 1869, Philo, a literary society, was reorganized last year largely through the efforts of iliss Sarah T. Sisson of the English department. Although the purpose of the club is to further individual literary efforts and an appreciation for contemporary thought, the club took a lively inter- est in current theater productions and enjoyed several theater productions during the year. Book reviews, original short stories, poetry, and a spring exhibition in honor of the alumni also occupied their interest. Officers were Lois Stevens, Robert Bill, David Thompson, and Charles Aufderheide. Displaying more activity than it has for several years, Zoology Club was entertained at their monthly meetings this year by speakers and mo- tion pictures. A film devoted to the life of the beaver and a talk by Miss Fay Kenoyer of Eli Lilly and Co., on Smallpox and Smallpox Vaccines were some of the outstanding programs of the year. Officers were Bernard Kriel, president; Dor- othy Sparrow, vice-president ; Harriet Randall, secretary; Jack Hall, treasurer. Dr. Pearson and Dr. Nester served as co-sponsors for the club.

Frederick Ker- shner took the office of vice-president and Norman Grauel acted as secretary-treasurer. Phi Delta Theta was conspicuously absent from the roll call of the organizations represented. However, the men believed that some organiza- tion was better than none at all. The Phi Delts claimed that a change had been made in the constitution after an amicable agreement had been reach- ed, and they resigned when it came time to sign the articles of confedera- tion. The council was to function under rules already set up and approved by the school administration. And if conditions continued to develope along the same lines as they were when this book went to press it is very likely that the members of the Phi Delta Theta contingent are back in the fold of the council. Row One (Across) Henry Moffett, Pres. Norman Grauel Phillip Arik Mars Ferrell Row Two Frederick Kershner Clarence Laymon Donald Wagener Gene Yockey PHI DELTA THETA Winners of the coveted Chamber Classic Trophy and the Rela) ' s Loyalty award. Phi Delta Theta boasted the largest organization on the campus. Led through the two semesters of the past year bv Earl Gerkensmeyer and Robert Graves, the Phis were actively engaged in most campus func- tions. Robert Graves served as president of the graduating class and Neil Whitney was treasurer of the juniors. Charles Haug piloted the fresh- men through their first year at Butler and Robert. Sorenson, Robert Cash and Byron Beasley served two terms on the student council. The Phi Delts, usually strong in the intra-mural games, often came close but never attained the heights of victory. The boys, however, turned on the speed in the Relays ticket sales drive and won in a walk from the other fraternities, with over five hundred sales to their credit. The Phi Belt ' s Blue Keyhole stunt, Dress Re- hearsal, drew down second money, largely through the efforts of Robert Sorenson ' s direc- tion and Byron Gypsy Rose ' Reed ' s ballet danc- ing. And so life continues at the big gray mill where brother Phi Delts are turned out steadily, quality always equalling quantity.

First of all the rush season brought out many instances where both or- ganizations had their hearts set on having the same men. Then along came the intra-mural foot- ball season and the Sigma Chis breezed through to victory behind a line that averaged more than the varsity football team line. And again in the famous Chamber Classic the Sigs and Phis battled it out, the Phis having the upper hand in this skirmish. All in all the Sigma Chis came through in rather handy style. Under the guidance of Mars Ferrell during the first semester and Henry Moffett for the second semester they cut a fancy figure in the campus affairs. George Craycraft was elected treasurer of the senior class. James Comstock steered the course of the sophomores and Robert Hesseldenz handled the money for the freshmen. Ferrell and Craycraft were elected to Phi Kappa Phi and Robert Walker was head man in the Utes Club. The Sigma Chis came through with their second intra-mural title in the bowling competition. The Sigma Chis are still at home on Forty-si.x .street and are by this time probably deeply en- grossed in a horse-shoe tournament in their side yard.

Not only did they build up their organization in quantity, but they made an enviable record among the activities on the campus. The first thing they did of noteworthy char- acter was to carry off first place honors in the intra-mural ping-pong tournament. They were successful, however, only after a play-off for the title with Phi Delta Theta. While all this was going on the Delts had men officiating in several honoraries over the campus. Ted Pruyn was wielding the gavel at the Blue Key meetings. Willard Fawcett, erstwhile lumi- nary from Logansport, served as high mogul for the junior honorary, Sphinx. Robert Cox and Vincent Langston were influencing the Utes mem- bers to the tune of vice-president and secretary, respectively. Covering the battle front with remarkable rapid- ity, the Delta Taus and their dog, the vicious look- ing but gentle-minded Tau, made a place for themselves in the sun. By this time they should all be sufficiently tanned.

Their pledge chapter roll reads like the list of freshman numeral winners. And the ac- tives are not unfamiliar with the athletic plant. But varsity sports is not their only attribute. The boys won one, and were runners-up for an- other, intra-mural title. The cross-country race was a walk-away for the Lambda Chis. They car- ried off the first five places, being paced by Wil- liam Southworth, a freshman from Anderson. In the bowling competition the Lambda Chi boys were nosed out in the last match by the Sigma Chis. At the big social event of the year, the Junior Prom, a brother Lambda Chi was the man of the hour. Byron Schofield, of Zionsville, served as general chairman. John J. Crawford, after a heated and prolonged campaign was voted to han- dle the finances of the class of ' 39. Waldo Stout, among other things, was president of the Student Council. While all this activity was going on the boys took a course in interior decorating and expressed their accumulated knowledge in a new coat of paint for their house. Some one said they thought the paint job smelled, but doesn ' t newly applied paint always smell for a few days?

The star of the show was none other than Arthur Pooch Payne, who played the familiar role of another Bob Burns. ( Pooch is the man whom you see around school advertising the fact that he is Louisville ' s Male. ) The boys toed the mark all year to the dicta- tions of Clarence Laymon and turned out a pro- gram that they can well be proud to call their own. William Stalcup held the sceptre of the junior class and along with several other worthy helpers instigated the now popular Swing Day at the Campus Club. Sigma Nu came through with a strong intra- mural football team, but lost out in the race for second place in a play-off with Phi Delta Theta. At the time that this article went to press their basketball team had won one league of the com- petition, and was preparing to play the winners of the other league for the title. From all indica- tions these Sigma Nus must have had something on the ball.

Headed this year by John O ' Donnell as president, the Newman club has made a definite step toward its aim. They have succeeded in placing their members on Collegian, Drift and M. S. S. staffs; Thespis, Utes, Sphinx, Blue Key, Sigma Delta Chi and Spurs honoraries and the Track team. In April of this year, the club sponsored its Annual Newman Club Communion Breakfast which was held at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and was attended by representatives from Newman Clubs at the Indiana State Teacher College in Terre Haute and Indiana University as well as several members of the local alumni. Alarv Hesseldenz and Mary Ranee represented the local chapter at the National convention held on Alay first at Ohio State University in Colum- bus, Ohio. Other officers for the past year were: Betty O ' Connell, vice- president ; George Huffman, treasurer ; and Thomas Connolly, secretary. PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL These Greeks have a word for it — for that mad, dehghtful, exciting week every fall known as rush — which expl ains briefly the reason for the existence of such an institution as Pan-Hell Council. Organized in 1914 to regulate rush conditions Pan-Hell has con- tinued to play an important part in the life of the University, by bringing the Greek organizations together for the purpose of settling mutual problems. Meetings were held the first Monday of each month at the various sorority houses, with round-table discussions of rushing prolilems and reports from the organizations on pledge training taking up most of the time. Jane Beasley was in charge as president, and Peg Stanley was secretary. In addition to formulating rush week regulations and dealing with its inevitable after-effects, Pan-Hell gave its annual dance in the fall. This year the council also undertook an unusual and useful project, that of buying a band-stand and backdrop to facilitate campus dances. The Drift congratulates you !

Kappa Alpha Theta was found- ed at DePauw university in 1870 while that school was still known as Indiana Asbury College. Begun more as an experiment due to the fact that the success of co-educational schools was rather doubtful at that time, chapters were in- stalled only at co-educational schools during its first years, and did not extend to women ' s col- leges until 1896. The Gamma chapter at Butler was founded in 1874 and is one of the 64 active chapters of the sorority. The Thetas were represented this year in Y. W. C. A., Women ' s League, The Collegian, the Drift staff, W. A. A., Theta Sigma Phi, Blue- gills, Philokurean, Pi Epsilon Phi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Chimes. The president of Spurs and Scarlet Quill wore the Theta kite as well as the vice-president of the senior class and secretary of the freshman class. The secretary-treasurer of the Pan-Hellenic coun- cil as well as several student council members were also drawn from this group. Marjory Zechiel made a charming and impres- sive Relay queen as she ruled the Indoor Relays, March 20. During that same week the Thetas captured the Loyalty troph ' for selling the most Relay tickets.

Founded in 1870 on the campus of Monmouth college at Monmouth, Illinois, the six founders of the group were endeavouring to form an or- ganization similar to men ' s fraternities. Mu chap- ter here at Butler was founded in 1878 and is now one of the 71 active chapters in the country. Enjoying one of the outstanding distinctions of the year, lovely Jeanne Mitchell graciously led the grand march as Prom queen at the junior function on April 23. Dorothy Dunbar served as president of the Sorority President ' s council and Helen Rogge wielded the gavel at Y. W. C. A. meetings during the past year. Several members of Student council were also found in this group. Other organizations which the Kappas were active in this year were Spurs, Chimes, Scarlet Quill, Philokurean, Bluegills, W. A.

From [he time of its founding in 1867 at Monmouth college, Monmouth, Illinois the sor- ority was known as I. C. Sorosis until 1888 when the Greek name was adopted. A school which gives instruction in manual training and household science was opened in GatHnburg, Tennessee in 1917 under the sponsorship of Pi Phi, an unusual and successful experiment. In 1898, the Gamma chapter was founded at Butler and it is one of the 79 active chapters of the sorority. Moving into their beautiful new white colonial house, the Pi Phi ' s enjoyed an un- usually successful year on the campus.

There on Thanksgiving Eve, twenty-one students met for the purpose of beginning a new women ' s society and the result was the organiza- tion of Delta Delta Delta. The sorority grew rapidly and the Delta Lambda chapter was found- ed at Butler in 1914. It is one of the 87 active chapters. The Tri Delts are represented on the Butler campus in Spurs, Scarlet Quill, W. A. A., Blue- gills, Y. W. C. A., Philokurean, Phi E])silon Phi, Women ' s League, Spanish Club, and the Col- legian staff. Mary Evelyn Daniels served as vice-president of the junior class, and Martha Finney served in the same capacity for the sophomore class. Harriet Lindley, charming and attractive sopho- more, reigned as cotillion queen March 5, at the successful sophomore dance. The chapter won the Relay trophy for the best decorated window and later in the spring won the award for the best prom booth. Tri Delt office holders during the first semes- ter were Mary Evelyn Daniels, president, Char- lotte Gillie, vice-president, and Catherine Davis and Dorothy Day, secretary and treasurer respec- tively. Mary Anna Butz and Mary B. Lennon served as co-rush chairmen.

(Three Question Mark Girls) for several months after their founding. It was in 1898 at Virginia State Normal Col- lege, Farmville Mrginia, that Zeta Tau Alpha added its name to the ever growing list of na- tional Greek-letter organizations. The year 1920 marked the establishment of the Alpha Delta chapter at Butler, and its inception as one of the 72 active chapters. Members of the local chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha have been active in P ' hi Kappa Phi, W. A. A-, Phi Chi Nu, and Thespis. They are also active in various departmental clubs including. Zoology Club, Sociology Club, and Botany Club. Officers of the organization for the past year were Cecilia Kupferschmidt, president ; Mildred Haag, vice-president ; Frances Luichinger, secre- tary ; Ina Stanley, treasurer ; and Jane Kelley, rush captain.

The sorority was founded in our own state at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana in 1885. Originally a musical organization an interest in the fine arts and music have helped to influence the ideals of the organization. The Alpha Chi chapter of Alpha Chi was founded on the Butler campus in 1925, but it was only a year ago that they moved into their inter- esting modernistic lodge on fraternity row. ' For the ninth consecutive time the Alpha Chi ' s captured the Geneva Stunts trophy in the fall pro- gram and later in the year added the Sigma Delta Chi Old Clothes trophy to their collection of cups. They are represented on the campus in Spurs, Scarlet Quill, Y. W. C. A., Women ' s League, Bluegills, W. A. A. and The Collegian. Officers of the chapter during the last year were Ruby Gene Beaver, president ; Charlene Richardson, vice-president; Jean Hoffmeyer, sec- retary; and Nadine Frye, treasurer.

Deciding on their name and pin, these three even wrote their ritual and so began Delta Gamma. Later the sorority was placed on a national basis largely through the efforts of George Banta who is said to be familiar with the D. G. ritual. The Alpha Tau chapter was founded on the campus in 1925, and it was only last fall that the group moved into their beautiful new French provincial chapter house on fraternity row. With their frontyard full of barnyard animals, the Delta Gamma ' s captured the Homecoming decoration trophy. Last April in Geneva stunts competition, the D. G. ' s placed first with a clever Silly Symphony. Catherine Clay served as secretary of the sophomore class while Betty Noonan was vice- president in the freshman group. Martha Shep- perd gained the distinction of being Women ' s League prexy. The D. G. ' s are also represent- ed in Phi Chi Nu, Spurs, Scarlet Quill, The Col- legian, W. A.

The Beta Theta chapter at Butler was not organized until 1927, but is now one of the 48 active chapters of the national organiza- tion. Keeping up a tradition of several years stand- ing A. O.

Organizations which this group has been active in this year are Spurs, Theta Sigma Phi, Scarlet Quill, The Collegian, Kappa Beta, Y. W. C. A., Women ' s League, Phi Chi Xu, and the Hiking Club.

It is with this thought in mind, as well as the results of the poll secretly con- ducted by DRIP ' S editors, that we bestow upon President James W. Putnam the title of Man of the Year of Butler University. However, let it not be thought that it was a walkaway, for there were other contenders, most notable of whom was Mr. Jac A. Ochiltree, for- mer editor of the Drift and Student Directory. There was much discussion in the editorial offices of DRIP when the poll was completed, but to decide the issue five persons were asked to write in their choices. These letters are published in this issue of DRIP. (See Letters.) Pleased indeed were DRIP ' S editors when these votes had been counted, and swung the decision in favor of the President. Pleased we say be- cause, we. the editors, were gravely worried as to how we could get the publication by the publications censor- ship board if the poll turned out in favor of Mr. Ochiltree. However, the poll is finished and the editors shall follow the old saying of not crying over spilled milk. The selection was one that was awarded on merit and merit alone. Prexy has been buffeted by troubles starting in the fall of the year with the incident of the UTES clubbers cutting hair off freshmen who refused to wear Frosh hats. This was followed in rapid fire order by the building of the Student Lounge in the basement of Jordan Hall ; the advisability of moving the Drift office; the problem of forcing athletes to work for their board : the Student Directory, and the painting of the DePauw campus. Now that the DRIP is released for publication he will be surprised to find himself elect- ed Man of the Year. Through it all he has proved him- self worthy of the title which we. the editors of DRIP, now bestow upon him — Man of the Year of Butler Uni- versity. Butler ' s Pitching Staff Quite a bit of the horse-power be- hind the machinery of Butler Univer- sity comes from these Deans who Up on the second floor in the east wing resides Dean Richardson in all his glory. His is the task of turning out the future educators of the world. A teacher of psychology, he has the uncanny power of putting a thing in its simplest form. His teaching is direct and to the point. He is also closely associated with Sherlock. a dog of great psychological importance. Dean Richardson has made an enviable Strilic One Strike Two have been dubbed Butler ' s Pitching Staff. (No doubt the idea came from the famous brothers of the St. Louis Cardinals.) They are from left to right Ratti. Richardson, and Kershner or Liberal Arts, Education, and Re- ligion. (They are. however, not to be confused with the three Graces, al- though they are considered graceful in their execution of their duties.) In fact, they have so much steam on the ball that it takes from twelve to four- teen hundred students to catch their pitching. The record of each college of the university is well-known. Dean Ratti ' s domain, that of the liberal arts, has gained mid-western recognition as a good place to get a foundation for the right kind of life. The liberal arts should teach one how to live more abundantly. said Dean Ratti to his class in Orientation. And it is with this benevolent spirit in mind that Dean Gino Ratti carries on in his of- fice in Room io8 of Jordan Hall. record, placing many of his graduates in well-paying jobs throughout the country. One of his graduates was telling us the other day when we stopped for gas and oil that he felt that he had spent four very profitable years in the College of Education. On the same level as the College of Education, but in the opposite end of the building, is the College of Relig- ion, under the able guidance of Dean Kershner. From all over the world students have come, and still do, to re- ceive their training for the ministry. Dean Kershner is known throughout the theological world as a leader and authority in this field. His has been a long and fruitful career and the seeds he has sown have more than reaped bountiful harvests. Thus, to our Deans may we wish them a good season and may their strike-outs be as equally frequent as their bases on balls. CAMPUS AFFAIRS (Continued) B-Man Brown For fifty-seven years Hilton U. Brown waited to receive his just re- ward as a member of a Butler athletic squad. He had won the right to a letter in 1880. He has won the right to many letters since then through his unending loyalty to Butler and its activities. It was not until last fall that Mr. Brown was awarded the B he de- served. Taking time out from prais- ing the 1936 Indiana State Secondary Football Champs, Cullen Thomas, star Butler athlete of former years, gave conclusive proof that the younger men HILTON U. BROWN ....he lijaited long — would have to stand aside while the grand old man of Butler was hon- ored. He said, in part, I came from Minneapolis to speak to you tonight, not only to honor the team, or to con- gratulate the coaching staff, but also to accept what I consider the greater privilege and honor, to present Hilton U. Brown with a monogram for his baseball plaving back in 1880. His life parallels that of Butler. With this award he now becomes our young- est and oldest ' B ' man. Truly, Mr. Brown has been a loyal Bulldog. Despite business cares as secretary-treasurer and chairman of the board of the Indianapolis News, he has maintained considerable inter- est in Butler athletes and athletics. He might be seen any day down on the practice field watching the boys scrimmage or on a game day sitting on the players ' bench with the boys, his boys. He is a striking person, an erect, dignified, elderly gentleman, with a white mustache, and wearing a black overcoat and derby. There is no keener fan than Hilton U. Brown. In 1881, a year after he had re- ceived his A. B. degree at Butler, Mr. Brown became a reporter at the Indi- anapolis News, and since then he has been successively and successfully, city editor, managing editor, general manager, chairman of the board and secretary-treasurer. This list of ac- complishments is by no means com- plete. He has been a member of the board of directors for Butler Univer- sity since 1885, and chairman of that board since 1903. He is a director of the Indianapolis .Art Association and of the Christian Disciples Board of Publications : he is the Christian Foun- dation board chairman ; he was on the board of directors of the American Newspaper Publishers ' Association from 1903 to 1935. Truly, none can deny that because of his loyalty and interest to Butler ideals and aspirations, Hilton U. Brown should have the highest niche in the Butler Hall of Fame. Student Council Notes Foreshadowed only by Henry Clay, Sheridan ' s contribution to the annals of Butler history, Waldo (Bing) Stout, has also made a memorable march, not through Georgia, but through four years of university classes. Throughout this quartet of years Stout has gained the title of the Great Compromiser. His has been a hard road. His task of keeping all rival factions as nearly satisfied as possible has been no easy job. First he had his troubles during the senior and junior elections, when cam- pus caucuses were running rampant. Then the big blow-up came over the sophomore election when Robert Cash, erstwhile runner of elections for the council, slipped up in counting the votes for the position of secretary. Having exhausted his various schemes for counting the vote, Cash was forced to call in a former mogul of the coun- cil, Fritz Rj ' ker. Soon things were straightened out and the election car- ried to the end. But it was not the end. Protests came flying from far and near, doubting the legality of the counting in the two previous elections. The votes were thrown open to the public, and as far as is known no votes were counted over. To add to the chagrin of the election committee, there was a mistake made on the bal- lot which stated that a certain John Crawford was running for the office of treasurer. Then it was found that a John Crawford was ineligible to run for office. Not thinking that there might be two men of the same name, the committee declared the election for treasurer as no contest. Then it was found that the registrar ' s of- fice had made a mistake in the re- cording of the names and the election was held again. This vote ended in a tie and again the vote was taken. Finally John Crawford won out. Through all this Waldo Stout acted WALDO STOUT ... .Sheridan ' s Sherman ' ' in his accustomed role of the concil- iator. At him all complaints were leveled and to all objections Stout exercised all his diplomatic ability. The last straw came over the relays queen question. The sororities claimed that the relays committee was exploit- ing their natural beauty for mere lu- crative ends. The relays officials claimed the importance of the sale of tickets for the success of the event. Much was said that would have better remained unsaid. And in the thick of it all was Sheridan ' s Sherman Stout. His patience was tried to the limit, but he came out unruffled and in full con- trol of the situation. May the fullest of praise and ad- miration be awarded to the man in the thick of every battle, the salesman Napoleon, Waldo Stout. LABOR ( ?) B. W. W. Fieldhouse workers were called from their voluntary sit-down strike late last semester by J. I. Holcomb, new board member, and the man be- hind the plow of the B. W. W. Mr. Holcomb ' s first measures of reorgan- ization were greeted with violent dis- gust by athletes, as well as students. However, the new system prevailed. Mr. Holcomb in his effort to keep an accurate account of the work of the fieldhouse crew, appointed Boss Bernie as chief slave driver and agi- tator. According to 99% of the work- ers, one percent were resting from over-work, Bernie needed no appoint- ment. His dominant character had Your Headquarters for Everything Electrical INDIANAPOLIS POWER LIGHT COMPANY Electric Building 17 N. Meridian Telephone RI. ley 7621 1 1 already been felt throughout the House That Hinkle Built. His ev- ery order had created a desire. After the installation of the new threat, the men decided to be good and settle down. Accordingly Ber- nie ' s Willing Workers ' was founded. A definite goal has been established, although up to date the goal had not been attained. The goal is to accom- plish as much work collectively in one week as Bernie ' s Pets accomplish in one day. Bernie ' s Pets — Massarachia, Constantino, and Xackenhorst — also have a goal, which is to receive credit for as much work in a week as the rest of the men collectively do in one day. Bernie, who claims partiality to neither, gives credit where credit is due, consequently everybody suffers. At this time it should be mentioned that Boss Bernie has received bribes. He only recently traded credit with Massarachia, who promised to give him a broom handle down his throat. In order to compete with the N. Y. A., an up-and-coming government organization, Holcomb granted the boys a raise in pay to the 37 2 cent standard as set by X. Y. A. moguls. After the raise in pay. Brownies, lo- cal refreshment hangout, announced that they would soon add equipment to cope with the influxuation in sales which they predicted would come after the first pay day. Crime On March 2nd of this year, there occurred within the closed doors of Room No. 2og, commonly known to all aspiring reporters and editors as the Journalism office, the most gigan- tic hoax ever to take place or to be perpetrated upon the Fairview Campus of Butler University. A young per- son, never before seen by any Fair- view eyes, called upon Professor Xor- man R. (Curley) Buchan, with the express purpose, so we have been led to believe, of selling him an order of magazine subscriptions. He did, how- ever, represent himself to be a mem- ber of the Journalism Department of Texas University. Upon further ques- tioning by Buchan, it was soon seen that he was not in the slightest way connected with the aforesaid univer- sity. Brains plus Brawn Buchan, sensing this quickly in his fertile brain, hurriedly dispatched Journalist Quill to summon the gendarmes while he muttered to those interested, I ' ll hold him ! Suggestion was made at the next faculty meeting that Professor Buchan be recommended for the Carnegie medal awarded for bravery every year. Fortunately, the culprit didn ' t get away with any great sum ; in fact the only person he was able to sell was genial Dean Kershner. The Dean, who is the avowed enemy of Hearst and MacFadden, doesn ' t know just what magazine he subscribed to, but he ' ll probably get Bernarr MacFad- den ' s Physical Culture and True Con- fessions for the next two years. It was stated that there could be no loop-hole found through which the G- Men could be brought into the case. DRAMA Nczv Play at Butler We Hedda Gabbler for Thanks- giving or What ' s Done ' s Done (by Dave Thompson ; producer. Peanut Thompson ) . The great moment in this play comes when Ima Snake re- ceives a note and Iva Snake notices it is in code, but kindly offers to get some Vicks to relieve the code. Written and produced for Philo- kureans by D. Richard Thompson, after the Philo Society had witnessed the performance of Hedda Gabbler its opening night was held at the home of Miss Sarah T. Sisson. faculty sponsor of Philo. Although it was presented to a capacity house, the total number who witnessed the perform- ance was considerably less than those attending regular first nights. Those who were lucky enough to see it will never forget Miss C. Ann Varin in the title role of Ima Snake, or Mr. Thompson as Ima ' s husband, Iva. Mr. Robert Bill, as Joe Hollywood, was also unforgetable. The House of Juke (by Allen : produced by Thespis Society of Butler University). Establishing a record of attendance which was never before even approached by any Thes- pis noon-tide drama, this play more than any other served the purpose of stimulating an interest in the drama society here on the Fairview campus. This might have been due to the tre- mendous amount of advance or ad- verse publicity, but as to that we shall not trj ' to say. Compliments of INDIANAPOLIS MILK COUNCIL. Inc.

SANDWICHES PASTRIES North Meridian at Washington St. QUALITY SERVICE ROYAL TYPEWRITERS are the Choice of many Universities and Public Buildings Butler University is Equipped with Royals Detour Metour From out of the smog that is always associated with Pittsburgh, came, early last spring, a young man known as Gildas N. Metour to replace Dr. Tol- bert F. Reavis as Professor of Sociol- ogy. Early last semester he came, but still late enough to miss out on the first week of recitati ons. Metour, being a young man, was obviously impressed with the host of feminine pulchritude in and about the Fairview campus. His first few classes, however, did not seem to re- veal this bit of his nature, since he was severely discussed the evening after his first lecture in all houses 1 wouldn ' t Zivnt this cut. — Metour. (Ed. Note. — We don ' t blame him.) and gathering places, and much of the discussion was devoted to the fact as to whether or not the students in his classes should or should not refrain from dropping his course in favor of others. Obviously the entire enroll- ment of his classes was worried as to the outcome of their grades at the time of grade distribution in June. Soon, however, what seemed to be the cold, icy and almost impregnable armor about Metour was noticed to be melting. Instead of armor there grew about him amour. Campus beauties were seen frequently with the gentleman from Pitt and all in and about the campus soon took him in. On Tuesday, February 24, 1937, a wandering cameraman spied Metour peacefully partaking of his vitamins in Mrs. Mary B. Bradshaw ' s Campus Club, and meaning no harm, this un- known photographer shot what devel- oped into a wonderful picture of Lec- turer Metour. At great expense and danger this picture was obtained by DRIP ' S editors and is printed here- with. Said Metour upon receipt of a print of the picture, I wouldn ' t want this to get out. (Ed. Note. — Metour objected to us printing the real picture taken at the Campus Club, but boy, you ought to see it!) Long the elusive will-o-the-wisp of alchemists, witch-doctors and modern quacks, a remedy which is believed to be able to cure practically any disease suffered by man, has recently been de- veloped in the laboratories of Butler University, under the direction of its eminent head medico. Dr. J. T. C. MacCulIum, and is ready to be tested by the most rigorous examination pos- sible in modern science. Shrouded in secrecy, news of the finding has es- caped public notice, but purposely so, for should the panacea become known millions of the world ' s imfortunates would find in the university a mecca of undreamed relief. Of a nature known only to the dozens of research workers who col- laborated in its compounding, the new substance, a brown sudsy liquid, is reputed to have remarkable curative powers not only of physical ailments, but also, most remarkable of all, of many mental diseases. But cautious to the last, the scientists have refused to publish the matter other than to state the extensive sweep which their testing of the new remedy will encom- pass. Already well under way, plans have restricted subjects almost entire- ly to members of the student body since, it was explained, the range of testable disorders from this source alone would more than daunt an ordi- nary medicine. It was with difficulty that DRIP obtained this list of students who will shortly be summoned to contribute their bit to the success of this latest university triumph. Among those so honored are : Studying habits of Jac Ochiltree will be corrected, perhaps improved. Latent dramatic ability will be brought out on Dave Thompson, in order to prepare him for the forth- coming May Day production of The Lamp and the Bell. Procrastination tendencies of Bill Kreag, will be corrected, we hope. DERBIES One of the best jobs of promotion yet recorded in the annals of Butler high pressure ' ' politics was pushed over last fall by none other than Baby Face Musgrave. Using the excuse that Butler needed to establish some traditions. Promoter Musgrave suggested that the senior men of the schol adopt some clothing accessory that would distinguish them from the underclassmen riff-raff. Then he subtlely had some of his many hench- men suggest the idea of the Derby. Through political caucus Musgrave was able to railroad the idea through the class vote and establish the Derby as the official garb for the senior men. COMPLIMENTS OP RALPH E.

EMERSON MUSGRAVE Things went fairly well for a few days and the orders came in as well as could be expected for a starter. Then when the expected increase was supposed to start no such thing ar- rived. Musgrave became worried. He appealed through the Collegian. He had special meetings of the class called and appealed to the school spirit of the men. But, to no avail, the orders would just not come in.

Now, to- day for instance, certain people are completely crazy (this can be taken literally) over the pronunciation of the Eyre in Jane Eyre. Not that it really matter but the problem has come to a head, and this column ' s duty is to set vou people on the right track (and all points West). As I said be- fore, some people are crazy on the subject: some few are sane and to he ignored. It is to be admitted that there are points to be argued on both sides. However, for the sake of being punny (and not in the least for the sake of being on the right side) the conclu- sion is arrived at that Eyre is pro- nounced air — rhyming with marc, scare, flare, hair, rare, glare, bare, care, dare, chair, pair, and stare, (Dr stair. (And sometimes with fire if you use poetic license.) Some obstinate people (Bostonians, no doubt) wouldn ' t grant to even the lowly poet for art ' s sake (for God ' s sake would have been much stronger, but probably would have offended the Bostonians), the use of Eyre to rhyme with fire. No, they decree from the Olympus of culture up there m the hills of the East, Charlotte must lie calmly in her six by two. (Them ' s fightin ' words, stranger. But let ' s have a drink to her health, and all for- get about it.) But on taking a clean cut cross sec- tion of the midwestern man we find there ' s something in his makeup that makes him steer clear of the Blurred r (except, of course, when he ex- hibits it in the berry). The Brown county man looks up from his sorghum. Well, gol dern, it ' s erright fer them Easterners and Southerners to go spoutin ' off the mouth about sayin ' ' air ' for ' eye-re, ' but here in Brown county, where art|s art for art ' s sake, and everybody ' s back to nature, esthetically speaking, there ' s nothin ' like the good long _V to show character and good breedin ' . The newsboy on the street is shock- ingly full of knowledge. In true Fred Allen guest-star style : Listen, buddy, where them guys is gettin ' that lingo, is past me.

' It just seemed more becoming to the play ; to the housewife who said When I was a girl — and not so many years ago as you might think, mother wouldn ' t let us read such a book. I never really worried a lot over it, but grandmother always used it in connection with fire, so naturally I always referred to it as ' Jane Eye-re, ' in whispers of course, the storm ensues. No one will cede one point. What the outcome will be can only be hinted at. (Do they still end sen- tences with a preposition, or has that been done away with?) However, all the problems will be solved when Hollywood gets a good hold on the book. The only logical thing to do is to change the name of Twenty-four Hours of Love or to some eye-catch- er like, The Girl Who Erred (and that last is not a pun). CLIPPERS Utes Club Clipped As has always been the custom in American colleges and universities, the members of the Utes Club, sopho- more honorary organization for men, undertook last fall to clip the hair of WYANDOT WALKER ... ill full Indian regalia those freshmen who refused to wear the traditional rhinie pot. Worried because of the consequences which might follow such an undertaking, the president, deans and anxious faculty members immediately put a stop to all this monkey-business. A short time later, the Butler cam- pus was the scene of a plague of the most eye-catching multi-colored hats to appear on any campi. It later de- veloped that these hats were being worn by the same members of Utes who had attempted to clip hair. Due to these hats the campus took on an appearance of an Indian encampment. An interview with Robert Walker, president of Utes, brought out the fact that these hats were bemg worn by the club members as a retribution to the class of 1940 for the attempt they made upon their scalps. Walker stated that the irate members of the faculty and administration of Butler University had forced them to wear this particular mode of headgear. In fact they had even wished to force upon Mr. Walker a sterner style of dress. He was to have been compelled to wear full Indian regalia durqing his entire sophomore year at the univer- sity. Upon petitioning to the proper au- thorities, however, he was relieved of this and the only punishment adminis- tered to him was the same as that of the regular members of the Utes Club. Luckily, the Drip photographer was able to procure a photo of Utes Pres- ident Walker in the full Indiana cos- tume, which he was to have worn and said photo is reproduced above.

T]ic Sport of Kings Probationary Period at Butler, com- monly termed Hell Week, developed into the most colorful spectacle ever to be seen on the Fairview Campus since the 1937 Butler Relays. Chief cause of the color in what usually was a week of work and labor tor the un- fortunate neophytes who happened to be pledged to one of the Greek letter organizations for men here at Butler, was the First Annual Phi Delt-Sigma Chi Chamber classic. At the beginning of the seven days THE PHI DELT BUGGY Aren ' t they . . . of probation, each of the pledge classes of the aforementioned fraternities were instructed to obtain a four- wheeled chariot, buggy, chaise, shay or any other contrivance normally drawn by members of the equine fam- ily (horses to you). The president of the pledge class of each fraternity was to be the driver of the vehicle, with six of his fellow pledges acting as the source of locomotion, in relays of three at a time. Crowds began to gather in front of the Phi Delt house as early as 2 :oo P. M. in order to be sure of front row seats at the carnival. Promptly at 4:15 the parade to the starting post, which was in front of the Sigma Chi SPECTATORS . even the Elks zcere there. started from the Phi Delt At 4:30 the starting bomb (a light bulb thrown against the street) was sounded, and the chargers were off in a dead heat. house, house.

They won with the record time of 7 minutes, 58 seconds. The only reason this was a record was the fact that the course had never been traveled before in such contrivances.

High spots of this sport of kings were recorded for posterity by DRIP. Several are presented on this page. Many questions were raised as to how this event received its name. In- vestigation into the matter elucidated the fact that the classic was named after the type of trophy awarded to the victors.
