SEITZ HE Blue Hen has had its name atrached to quite a few institutions in Dela- ware. In fact, back in 1907, the staff of the Delaware College yearbook even decided to designate its publication by that name. Just why did we have to penetrate into the realm of pigmented poultry to scare up a mascot for our otherwise conservative state? The wrirer has made a - little investigation beyond the hen-coops and incubators of the contemporary domestic fowl back to the very Eve of Chickendom, and is still not quite sure about the reason. Under no circumstances will the writer be egged into a debate as to which came first, the hen or the egg. You either take the chicken and the egg for granted or he won't waste any more time on you. Obviously the first hen, basking in the sun in Eden, could not have been a blue hen. Why should she be blue? She had no egg quota and no ax in the background to make her downcast. However, the hour of wreckening arrived. Eve's sin put her into a world where the fruits of her labors were not even her own. Her eggs were all confiscated and either marketed in groups of twelve or used to subdue incompetent actors. This was one of the inevitable trials that her race had to endure in order thar she might eventually gain the distinction of being the label for Delaware's somewhat annual yearbook. But where did the blue hue crop up? That can be blamed on any one of several plausable explanations. Exposure to cold turns humans blue, and hens are no better than humans or at least not much better. Then of course dis- appointed lovers write blues songs. Perhaps the hen became frustrated in love too. Finally the dumb bird might have entered the world blue, which is likely and self-explanatory. Thus by fair means or fowl, we have brought the Blue Hen up to the time of the American Revolution. The reader won't be going off half-cocked if he concludes that the Blue Hen and the Revolution are hooked up in some way. It seems that the grit and dash of the Delaware soldiers under one Captain Caldwell earned for them the name of Caldwell's Game cocks, Because of their blue uniforms they later came to be called the Blue Hen's Chickens. Finally the appelation Blue Hen was extended to the small state which mothered so many aggressive children. Anyway, it was only fitting and proper that the year book of the State University should bear the title Blue Hen. And haven't the sons of Delaware earned the right to be called Blue Hen's Chicks. Grit, dash, and unlimited gameness have been in evidence wherever Delawareans have gamboled. The reader must be warned against passing judgment on the chicks by the harassed demeanor of the hen which presides at the foothall games, That faded, jaded Blue Hen is ar a disadvantage. What would you do if you were a chicken with ink all over you, before several thousand otherwise human beir going crazy at the slightest agitarion of the inflated epidermis of some hapless pl - Old College ITSwhit:portim. its stately pillars, and the contrast of the lindens' dark foliage in front of it all combine to give Old College the effect of an etching of a colonial scene rather than of part of a modern campus. The oldest building of the University, it has served many pur- poses during its long life and is now the social center of Delaware College. T Purnell Hall ALTHDUGH not as magnificent as Old College, Purnell Hall is likewise a colonial structure and helps balance the new with the old at Delaware. This build- ing houses the offices of the History and English Departments, Mitchell Hall ONE of the more modern buildings on the campus, Mitchell Hall is an im- posing structure characteristic of the general architectural style of the center campus. Its low dome and three arched doorway lend it a particular beauty. The auditorium, with a seating capacity of about 1000, is well equipped for college use. Wolf Hall OLF HALL, first of the newer buildings, is built in the Georgian style. It is the home of the Department of Agriculture as well as of several other natural sciences. Evans Hall HE engineering building, Evans Hall, is in the Georgian style. A note of unusual simplicity is given this large structure by the use of pilasters in con- trast to the columns of the other build- ings. P P gy o o S Chemistry Butldinag DESIGNED to conform with the gen- eral architectural plan of the cam- pus, the Chemistry Building is the newest addition to the campus. Funds for the construction of this building were do- nated by a friend of the University in re- sponse to the needs of a rapidly growing departmentr, OMINISTRATIUN - Board of Trustees Trustees Ex Officio The Governor, Ricrarp C.

ORN in 1875 in Woodrow Wilson's home town, Staunton, Virginia, Presi- dent Walter Hullihen had a good precedent for entering the teaching pro- fession, His studies at the University of Virginia and, later, at John Hopkins University, were rewarded with a Ph.D. in 1go0. He taught languages and mathematics in the University School, Baltimore, and at the University of the South from 1900 to 1912, at which time he became Dean of the Arts and Science School there. Since 1gzo he has guided the University of Delaware as President. His activities in that period have also included the sponsorship of the Foreign Study Group in France and in Germany. Honors awarded him include: Docror of Civil Laws from the University of the South in 1922 and Doctor of Laws from Temple University in 1g9zs. He is also a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. 1937 THE BLUE HET 1938 23 24 The Deans Seevcer, Durron, McCus GEORGE ELLIOT DUTTON A praduate of the University of Delaware Class of 1904, Dean Dutton did graduate work at Johns Hopkins University and at Harvard University where he recelved his Master of Arts Degree in tor1. At that time, he became connected with the English Department of Delaware which he has served in various capacities ever since. He was elected Dean of Delaware College in 1023. ROBERT LYLE SPENCER Dean Spencer was graduated from lowa State College in 1912, Following that, he taught for six vears and then engaged for a time in commercial engineering work. In 1928, he became Dean of the Engineering School of the University of Delaware, CHARLES ANDREW McCUE A native of the State of Michigan, Dean McCue received the Degree of Bachelor of Science in 1901 from the Michigan Agriculrural College. In 1915, he came to the University of Delaware as Professor of Horticulture. He was elected Dean of the Agricultural School and Director of the Experiment Station in 1919. 1937 T Bl e HEL 1938 Business Administrator Charles E. Grubb LTHOUGH appointed to his present office of Business Administrator in April, 1936, Mr. Charles E. Grubb has been connected with the Uni- versity of Delaware for many years. In 1gr4, he was an honor graduate from the School of Engineering following an active campus career. While in college, he was elected to Phi Kappa Phi and was Editor-in-Chief of both the Review and Blue Hen. He was later elected to Tau Beta Pi. During the Commencement exercises of 1gio, Mr. Grubb was awarded an honorary Master's degree in Civil Engineering. From 1018 to 19130, he served as Chief County Enginecer of New Castle County and as the New Castle County State Highway Commissioner in which capacities he supervised construction and maintenance of roads and structures. In 1930, he became Engineer-Executive of the American Road Builders Associ- ation of Washingron, D. C. and in 1914, Assistant Director, Projects Division, F.E.A., with offices in Washingron. During all this time, he kept in close contact with the affairs of his University, s that in the shore time since his appointment to his present position, he has already greatly increased the efficiency of the Business Office. His sympathetic, vet business-like and efficient, trearment of student problems has established him firmly in the hearts of all those who know him. 1937 THe BLLIE HETD 1938 25 .+ . The Expansion THE Editor of the Brue Hen has asked for a brief summary of that part of the University's Building and Development Program' that seems possible of realization within the next five or ten years. That we have such a program and are steadily, even if slowly, advancing toward its fulfillment is doubtless known ro every one interested in the University, but in as much as a more wide-spread knowledge of the individual irems of the plan may hasten the final accomplishment of the whole, the Editor's desive to lay it before the readers of the Biue Hewn seems to the writer to be a wise and helpful one and should prove interesting as well. Triple program Any program of development of an American Cal- lege must take into account both the instructional needs and those of the physical plant. The rtwo are mutually inter-dependent, Neither develops in any marked de- gree without a corresponding advance in the other. Without adequare equipment and housing for educa- tional purposes it is obvious that instruction must suffer; and in a country such as ours with its many splendidly equipped institutions of higher learning it is extremely difficult for a poorly equipped college to command the interest and respect of prospective students or of the general public. Desirable teachers are unwilling ro transfer from a well equipped college to one in which there is inade- quate equipment in the fields of study in which they are interested. The class-rooms, equipment, labora- tories, and libraries that suthiced for the college of forty or fifty vears ago, are wholly inadequate 0 meet the demands of scholarship in the vast and growing realms of the knowledge of today. So the University has made a program in which it hopes to see a simultanecus development of its physical plant, its teaching strength, and its scholarly activity. In order to broaden and strengthen the curriculum and to provide for the rapid increase in the number of students it is planned to make additions to the staffs of existing deparrments and to establish certain much needed new departments as soon as funds are available for this purpose. MNew or separate departments greatly needed are the following: Chemical Enginecering and Geology, both of which have heretofore been added to the overworked department of Chemistry; Architect- ure; Political Science, now included in the department of History; a University department of Music to make this subject available to men and to enlarge the scope of the work heretofore provided for women; a Gradu- ate School to meet the growing demands for graduare instruction and to provide a greatly increased number 94 1937 THE BLUE HET by PRESIDENT WALTER HULLIHEN of advanced electives for undergraduates in their major fields; a School of Economics and Commerce in which our present offerings in this department can be ex- panded to give that large number of our students who plan to go into business or industry a more complete preparation for their careers. Orher departments in which the reaching staff should be enlarged and strengthened are: Sociology, Psy- chology, Mathematics, and Modern Languages, all of which are overcrowded, under-staffed, and conse- quently unable to offer the courses in these subjects which the college of today ought to give. The building program includes as its most urgent needs and those for which it is hoped provision can be made within a very few years the following: Completion of Memorial Library It is hardly possible to exaggerate the importance of the library in a college or university, It is often, and propetly, referred to as the heart, the dynamic center, of an insticution of higher learning. It must cover many fields of knowledge and the building thar houses it must be large enough to take care of all the books as they are acquired year by year that are needed by students and teachers. Owur present library is rapidly approaching the limit of its capacity. In a very few years all the stacks will be completely filled. An attractive and satisfactory plan for enlarging Memorial Library has been made by the architect, It will include many new and desirable features in addi- tion to providing space for three times as many books as we have at present, There will be an enlarged peri- odical room, a browsing room, seminar rooms for many of the departments, carrels adjacent to the stacks for individual study, and many improvements in arrangements for supervision and service. Strucrur- ally the wings are to be lengthened abour forty feer and a second story is to be added which will greatly improve the appearance of the building as well as provide the required addidonal space. Class room and administrative office building This building, which will be placed immediately opposite the new Chemistry Building, will serve many purposes. It will centralize the administration of the University by placing the offices of the president, the business administrator, the dean of Delaware College, the dean of the Women's College, and many depart- ment heads under one roof. It will provide offices and 1938 Program class-rooms, at a place convenient of access from all parts of the University, for those persons who teach in both colleges. It will provide proper meeting places for the classes of both colleges now being taught in the basement of the Library. It will bring most of the classes of the School of Arts and Science into a closer and more convenient relationship with the Library. A further and most desirable result may possibly be the conversion of Recitation Hall and Purnell Hall into men's dormitories since all the work now being done in those buildings will be transferred to the proposed new Class Room and Administration Building, MNew men's gymnasium and health center Srudies to determine the most desirable plan for this building are in progress. The plans of similar buildings in other universities and colleges have been studied both by personal visits and through blue prints of their arrangement. The question has arisen as to the possi- bility of incorporating the present gymnasium or parts of it in the new plan instead of erecting an entirely new structure at the north end of the Green where it was placed in the first development plan. A great saving might result through avoiding duplication of the exist- ing swimming pool, chlorinating plant, and other facilities, which might make it more possible to finance the undertaking. College Hall for Women's College This building will release space in Science Hall o Chemistry, Biology, and Home Economics that is badly needed by those departments. It will contain an Assembly Hall for the College's daily assemblies; offices and class-rooms for some of the work of the School of Education; the laboratories and auxiliary rooms for Physics; all of the class-rooms and work-rooms for the department of Fine and Industrial Art; and studios and offices for the department of Music. For Dramatics, the Assembly Hall, which is to seat three hundred and fifty people, will provide a little theater thar ought to give fresh stimulus and encouragement o work in this growing department. Improvement of Delaware College athletic fields Adequate seating facilities for spectators ar athletic events, completion of the grading, drainage, and seed- ing of the new athletic field, and construction of addi- tional tennis courts and playing fields for the enlarged intra-mural program are pressing needs. It is planned to try to meet them by an appropriation each year fram general income untl the task is completed; but the University will not refuse to any generous friend, who may desire to finish it all ar once, its prompt permission to do s0. Such a gifr would be a fine contribution to the welfare and progress of the college, 'J $ Such is the ambitious program to which the Uni- versity is addressing irself. It will cost a considerable sum: for the proposed expansion and strengrhening of the teaching staff, not less than seventy thousand dollars a year; for the physical improvements and addi- tions, nearly a million dollars. Its realization will depend in large measure upon the faith of students, alumni, and friends in the work the University is doing and is destined to doand upon their sincere and public proclamation of that faith. Architect's Drawing of Memorial Library with Proposed Additions 1237 THE BLLIe HeN 1238 27 Lieutenant Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge HE afterncon of December 14, 1935 should go down in the annals of the University of Delaware as marking a big step in its progress. At that time, the Board of Trustees of the University passed a motion to establish a Business Guidance Bureau for the students of both colleges. In the short time since then, the Di- rector, Lt. Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge, and his as- sistant, Miss Caroline Cobb, have ser up a highly successful Bureau. When the Trustees voted for this Department, they realized that its success was almost entirely dependent on their selecting the proper person to direct it. They needed a man who could devote his full time and effore to irs operation, a man who knew and would continue to know the students and faculty members, andmost important of alla man who could deal with execurives and personnel men so as to convince them thar Dela- ware graduates have the training and ability to make good employees. Unfortunately, part of his com- pensation would have to be derived from his interest in the Universitcy and its students, since his salary would necessarily be small. Department organized January, 1935 The position was immediately offered to Lieutenant- Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge Retired, formerly Pro- fessor of Military Science and Tacrics ar Delaware. His generous acceprance of the position was raken as Miss immediate assurance of the Bureau's success. o8 1937 THE BLAE HER Business Guidance by WILLIAM NOOMAN Caroline Cobb, a graduate of June, 1935, was ap- pointed his Secretary and Assistant in order to extend the Bureau's operation to the Women's College. Within a month after the Trustees' action, the new department was at work in its office in Old College, making contacts and securing interviews for rhe mem- bers of the class of June, 1g36. Of all those students who requested the aid of the Bureau toward geteing them positions, about ninety per cent were placed by graduation. The few remaining had jobs by September, The bureau has been extremely successful in its purpose of establishing contacts between potential employers and students of both colleges. It has made connections with over a hundred established concerns of good repute. This is good evidence that Colonel Ashbridge is convincing employers thar men and women from Delaware are worthy of consideration, Guidance given as well as jobs There is a second purpose of the Guidance Bureau to give seniors an idea as to how to go after a job. Suggestions on how to make a good impression on in- terviewers, explanations of fields of work available, advice on lifeework and the student's future all are available to the student through the bureau, Guidance is given in order to crystalize a man's ambitions so that he may face prospective employers with self-assurance. Either Colonel Ashbridee or Miss Cobb sits in on all interviews at the college, taking notes on the sru- dent's progress. Afrerward, he is given construcrive criticism on his methods of handling the interview, He is advised what to consider before accepting a position, just what his chances are of advancement, and whar standing the company has. The Colonel also pives instruction in phrasing letters to companies, to make the proper impression. Colonel Ashbridge now has an efficient organizadon whose most important asset, good-will, is rapidly in- creasing in value. Colonel Ashbridee's personable manner lays the foundation of that good-will. He makes the contact, gives the advice and instruction. The rest is up to the student. Dep-nrtment now well urglnized The Business Guidance Bureau is already an es- tablished organizaton at the University, thanks to the efficient direction of Colonel Ashbridge.

For instance, during the past year, besides furnishing data to various Federal agencies for use in national programs and to state officials for diverse reasons, the Agriculrural Experiment Station has carried on a well- rounded program of research into problems confront- ing the agriculturists of Delaware. .l 'ig:ricu'tuu' research men a State need To quote from the annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station for the year ending June 30, 1936, the general philosophy of agriculture has been under- going a change. We still have many problems of m.:rit:ulmru i:anim.: for the work of the research man. The general public may have gained the idea that no further research should be done upon production problems, yet, the farmer must produce before he can sell. New and complicated problems in crop pro- 36 123 e BLUE HER Ag School duction are constantly coming to the attention of the investigator. Many of these are of a fundamental nature. The answer to them lies deep in the why' of things. Until we can answer the why' we shall be handicapped, if not defeated in our endeavor to answer the 'how' and the 'where' and the 'when' of the ap- lications of science to agriculture, Research has been carried on in the following fields by the Agricultural Experiment Station: Agricultural Economics, including poulery management studies, land utilization, farm finance, and marketing; Asronomy, including crop rotation experiments, crop improvement investigations, fertilizer work, and others; Animal In- dustry, including feeds and feeding work; Chemistry, including various highly technical experiments dealing with several phases of agriculture; Entomology, in- cluding insect contral; Hordeulture, including fruit and truck crop investigations; and Plant Pathology, includ- ing experimental work in the control of insects and plant diseases. Dissemination of information to farmers To spread the knowledge gained at the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Agricultural Extension De- partment carries information tending ro improve agriculrure and rural living to the people of the State, This deparl:m::m includes representarives of the Ex- tension Service in each of the three counties in Dela- ware as well as several specialists who direce their activities along one particular field of endeavor relared to agriculrure or rural life and including homemaking, The agents of the Extension Department as well as the specialists cooperate with one another and with the Agriculrural Experiment Station and the School of Agriculture to disseminate the newly gained in- formation as well as new methods and practices to the agriculturists and homemakers of Delaware. To illustrate how thoroughly the information carried to the people of Delaware is distributed, the annual report for the past vear shows thar more than 61,000 persons were directly affecred by Agricultural and Home Economics Extension work through contace with irs This figure does not include those who were indirectly benefited by improving practices or conditions after seeing whar their neighbors had done or after hearing of new ideas from those who received the information directly, representatives. More than 3,800 calls were made ar farms and farm 1938 and the State - homes by representatives of the department during the past year while more than 12,200 persons called on the agents in their offices to make inguiries or to have problems solved. In approximately 1,050 homes in Delaware, both rural and urban, homemaking practices were changed after the Home Demonstration Agents had met with the homemakers in these homes, either at large meetings or individually. There are doubtless other homes in which changes have been brought about by the Extension Service but which cannot be identified. Effects of the worl The value of this work to the people of Delaware, while impossible to state accurately in dollars and cents, is indicated however by the fact that changed practices directly traceable to the work of the Extension Service have been noted in 4,335 instances, while many other cases which may be traced directly to the efforts of the Extension Agents or their work remain unknown. Wark of 4-H Club Thar the work of the Extension Service reaches persons of all ages is indicated by a glance at some of the figures pertaining to 4-H Club work, which is carried on and sponsored in Delaware by that Service, In the year ending last December 1, more than 1,075 boys and girls in rural Delaware were members of 4-H Clubs which were under the direct supervision of the County Boys' and Girls Club Agents, who are mem- bers of the Extension Service. The name of the organization4-H Clubsignifies the aims of the organization, with the 4-H's standing for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. By developing these four ideas, the Extension Service expects to lead the rural youth toward better citizenship. In Delaware last year there were 121 organized 4-H Club groups working with 114 volunteer leaders under the direcrion of the Club Agents in the three counties. The membership of these groups consisted of gb3 boys and 1,015 girls all working on various types of projects ranging from rural electrification to meal planning. Besides the training in citizenship, organization and fellowship, club members profited to the tune of more than $4c,000 from their club projects. While careying on these projects, they also learned of new and better by MR. JOHH SKINMER Extension Editor, Department of Agriculture methods of doing the work than they would have otherwise known. Benefits to students The question may be asked: Whar does all this have to do with the School of Agriculture and how does it benefit the student? Many members of the instructional force in the School of Agriculcure work a part of their time with either one or both of the companion departments. They are in constant touch with the research work being carried on while keeping a finger on the pulse of agriculture throughour the stare by means of their acquaintance with the Extension work. This close cooperation permits the instructors to betrer keep abreast of new ideas and practices as well as of the needs of farmers and agriculture in general. The student also has contact with the research work which is constantly being done in the various labor- atories in the School of Agriculture and is often given an oppertunity to attend meetings or demonstrations which are held under the auspices of the Extension Department.

HAT an alumni association may occupy an im- portant place in the life of an educational institu- tion need not be argued. Just what place it does occupy is more a matter of uncertainty, for its position and influence are determined by many factors, all of which must be taken into consideration. The Alumni Asso- ciation of the University of Delaware was first organized many years ago and has been re-organized several times until it has settled into its present form and manner of existence. And its influence has varied, rising and falling from vear to vear. There have been times when it was an association of strength and usefulness and then again the interest and enthusiasm waned and there were weak points, mistakes, sins of omission, to be charged againse it. What should it be? What do its members want it to be and what should the University administration ex- pect from it? We are speaking of the Association as a body, not of the individual members. Many of them set a splendid example to all of us and we have teason to be proud of them, but their actions are not those of the association as a whole. Purposes of the Alumni Association The Alumni Association can be, and its members expect it to be, a means of holding rogether those who go out from the University, a tie which binds them to the college, no matter how far they may roam. Theo- retically such a connecting link is not necessary; actu- ally it is. It is very hard for an alumnus to keep in touch with the college except through such an organi- zation. Again, the Alumni Association should serve as a means of strengthening the local chapters of alumni and of establishing new chapters. We spread over the face of the earth, and many of us can return to the university but seldom. Ewven a small local chapter of alumni helps us to keep in touch with the University affairs and the changes and developments which occur, The Association should serve as a means of sending better students to the University. The time is near when the alumni will be expected to help select students to be enrolled in the university. Quality rather than quantity will count and the consideration will be given, not to the question how many students are to be en- rolled bur to the question are the right ones enrolled. Here the Association can exercise a grear influence, as an association and through its individual members. The Association should serve as a means of helping graduates to place themselves successfully. Excellent as has been the work of the Business Guidance Bureau in the short period of its existence, how much more 38 1937 THE BELllEe HER by MR. CHARLES BUSH Editer, University Mews effective would its work be if the older graduates were concerned with this problem. How discouraging ir is to the Director of this Bureau when he writes a letrer to an alumnus and the letter is not even acknowledged. In this field alone, the Association could work wonders. It should serve as a source of gifts to the University. It is not and never has been the policy of the Associa- tion to solicit money from its members bur collectively, as a group, much could be done. Money, books, equipment are needed and the Associadon could secure these, from its own members and still more from others, when it makes up its mind to do so. Manv of the gifrs with which the university has been enriched wirhin the past few years were due to the efforts of a few alumni who saw the needs and found the men who were able and willing to meet them. How far does our Association go towards meering these sugzestions? We need not be discouraged. It meets all of them partially, none of them wholly. If the sum of our activities seems small and our influence less than it should be, as compared with similar associa- tions of other institutions, remember that we have no paid alumni secretary to initdate and carry through such projects. What we do is begun and carried on by those whose first interest is necessarily with their means of livelihood, and the alumni work is done after hours. Of course the younger members are impatient o do more and we older ones are content with smaller, less showy things that do not bulk very large. Somewhere between the two lies the mean for which we muse work. Recently, at least, the officers and committee members have tried to achieve this mean of success and perhaps we have not done so badly. University Mews One recent innovation by the Universicy itself has been of help to the Alumni Association and char is the establishment of the Universicy News, issued monthly, This is not an alumni magazine. It is published and paid for by the University, to keep the friends of the University informed of what is taking place on the campus. But it contains news of the alumni and the local chapters, and notices of meetings and reunions, and a copy of each issue goes to every alumnus whose address can be found. It constitutes at present the only general means of communication and information available to the alumni and the Association is graceful for it and ready to rake advantage of irs usefulness. 1938 LAS S E S Honorary Societies Derelicts CoLuns .

Its officers are elecred by the body, The Council's scope of authority is rather indefinite, but for the most part it distribures funds and helps to supervise undergraduate activitdes. There can be no doubt but that its powers are broad enough to require an intelligent and interested membership if they are to be retained. It has been obvious for a long time that the Council is much too large for efhicient operation, and the recent addition of one more non-fraternity man from each of the classes represented, while making the representation slightly more proportionate than was previously the case, made it even larger. The very size of the Council has tended to lower the calibre of its membership. A plan for a smaller, more representadve Council has been long overdue, and should be an aim of the next Council. It is readily evident that a Council which annually appropriates up to $3,700 of student funds nust represent the best ability of all the students. If some such plan is not soon adopted, the Couneil, by its lack of efficient student supervision will forfeir its power to some Faculty body, and student government even in its present limited form-will be no more, But before anything can be done to help the student body retain and ultimately incrense the extent of its 1937 THE BLUE HEN by JOSEPH SCANMNELL self.government, it must unburden itself from the gen- erally prevelant apathy toward student governmenr and activities in which it now seems enveloped! Student government, to be successful, implies certain obli- gations as well as privileges. Chief among the former is for every student to maintain an active, constructive interest in his governing body. Lest too black a picture be painted, let it be said that the present Council has accomplished much despire the impediments to its progress. Council's accomplishments First big step forward was a further approach roward the complete abolishment of tat rules and hazing. Wearing white socks, carrying matches, and artending the daily wall meetings were the latest bits of pre-war rah-tah done away with., Rat Court under the super- vision of the Council was more like a sane Courr and less like a medieval trial by ordeal. As a result of the Council's liberal stand, the Freshman Banguet passed with a minimum of rowdyism. To the mournful tune of things aint what they used to be, it took place withour the kidnapping of freshmen, without faculey discipline, without anyone's being sent to the hospital by injuries, and without property damage. The Intra-mural program, which is finishing up a highly successful first year, was financed by the Council when the University refused to support it. This much needed plan will be taken over next year by the College as a permanent part of the athletic program. Appropriation increase secured An indication of the accomplishments which can be made by an intelligent Council is the success of the present Council in securing an increased appropriation for the athleric department by studying irs needs and submitting to the Business Administrator a plan which was largely carried our. This method of sensible pre- sentation of faces to the proper authority succeeded where years of general shouting and radical claims failed. The Convention of the International Relations Club was financed by the Council in cooperation with the Women College Student Council. It proved to be a great boon to the University, bringing representatives to our campus from ffty colleges. With the help of the Military Department, we have mainrained a well drilled band for pep fests and athleric COntests. 1938 193 The Student Council Continued The Social Year The year has been an outstanding success as far as the Council's social funcdons are concerned. Open- ing with a bang with the Welcome Dance, starring the ex-Delawarean Tanner boys' Kentuckians, the Council took over the control of the Junior Prom and brought Clyde McCoy to play for the best affair Delaware has had in years. Yet to come at the time this article is being written are the Spring Frolic and the Farewell Hop. From all indicarions, these will be the big suc- cesses they have been in the past. Such have been the accomplishments of the 19367 Student Council. The next logical question is How much has it cost?'

Delaware is no exception. Surely, more money and time are spent in their preparation than on that of any other activity. And more benefit is derived from them certainly by the staff members and perhaps by the readers. Delaware College has three major publicarions, the Review, Blue Hen, and Humanist. According to the new peneral publications constitution adopted this year, the editorial policy of the publications shall be determined by the Editors-in-chief, who shall ar all times have awvailable the advice of the Faculty Com- mittee on Student Publications. Mo censorship Delaware College publications have no censorship. And they will continue not to have any, to quote an editorial from the Spring, 1936, Humanist, provided that the editors of these publications will always be aware of their responsibility to cooperate with the faculty and administration; thar they will strive to augment the prestige of the University of Delaware, and that they will never abuse their freedom of the press. This does not mean that the editors must cowtow to the administration, that they must swallow their prin- ciples to keep the good will of the faculty. The con- tinuation of a free press at Delaware College depends on the good judgment of the student editors. Publications on upgrade Despite some indications to the conrrary, publica- tions have been improving during the past few years, and a much greater improvement is to be expected dur- in the next few years. Because of the numerous shake- ups on the Review staff, its progress has been impeded. However, it now appears to be recovering from its unrest. The Humanist was only revived within the past two years, and it definitely improves with each issue. As for the Blue Hen, it is probably as good as the average college year book. What makes any merit in our publications particu- larly significant is the fact that literary talent at Dela- ware is either sparse or reticent. The majority of students who participate in the activity are on the staffs of ar least two of the publications. Until last year, literary ability on the campus seemed to be getring scarcer each year. Therefore, any improvement in the publications has been the result of hard work by the editors. Some relief to this situation seems to have come with the present Sophomore and Freshman classes, either one of which has more literary ability ar least has evidenced morerthan the two upper classes 1937 THE BLUE HE Publioatiornis - - - Dar, Coocs, Baras An Editorial Conference combined. We can but hope that this is something more than a temporary improvement. Thus my prophecy of an increased improvement in all our publications within the next few years. We have the money, the freedom of the press, and the talent. All we need is some enthusiasm and willingness to take advantage of our assets. One general criticism to all three publications is that they limit themselves stricely to Delaware College, All of them might profit greatly through cooperation, at least, with Women's College. The combined resources literary, administrative, and financialof the two colleges would suffice to produce publications vastly superior to those now put out by the separate colleges. Chief objection to this plan on the part of the Women's College authorities seems to be that the Women's College students would not be able to do their share of the work and would lose the valuable experience they get now from publishing their own Pambo and Blie and Gold. While there may be some truth in this idea of the greater aggressiveness of the men students over that of the women, this arpument loses sight of the significance of producing better publications and is probably not valid. The three ardcles following, written by two editors, and a former editor, describe more particularly than this general sketch the development of the publica- tions during the past two years and suggestions for their future development. R. C. B 1938 1925 Thomas Cooch, Editor-in-Chief UBLISHED each week by the students of Delaware College, The Review is the prime centralizing factor on the campus of student thought and opinion. Through the medium of its news columns, both im- portant and trivial matters of current interest are brought before the student body to enable them mutu- ally to have knowledge concerning the activities in which each srudent parricipates either directly, or as a member of the student body at large. Flaws in the many other student managed affairs, and also in the policies and practicies of the administration, are exposed and reforms are suggested in The Review's editorial department. The chief purposes of the pub- lication then, are, first, to give accurate accounts of current events pertaining to Delaware College, and, second, to improve the standards of the institution by Review by JOSEPH H. PERKINS means of editorial exposition and moulding of student and faculty opinion, Originally a lirerary magazine of a nature somewhat similar ro the present Humanist magazine, The Review is now exclusively a journalistic product, offering all students an opportunity o learn the fundamentals of the newswriting art. Members of the staff are selected not on a politdcal or fraternity basis, bur with fair comparative evaluation of ability and interest. The Editor-in-chief and the business manager are nomi- nated by their respective predecessors and voted upon by an electoral committee comprising both student and faculty representatives. Afrer being placed in office each executive bears full responsibility for the manage- ment of his phase of the newspaper, held within limirs bv a general, liberal constitution. Success dependent on Editors The foregoing is, briefly, a picture of the purposes and organization of The Review. How nearly the publica- tion approaches complete achievement of its purposes, how closely it follows its high standards of organization, and how far it is removed from faculty censorship is a complex question which can only be answered by re- ferring to the administradons of individual editors. Each editor determines his own policies; some choose theirs wisely, others less wisely. Editors vary in the power of expressing their thoughrs in words, in courage and . resourcefulness, in open-mindedness, in the ability to select and manage subordinates, and in the capacity to recognize news and deal with it according Review Editorial Searff Kresuroor, SwenenarT, Loup, Suaw, E. . Wison, R, T, Wiwson, WarnurTon, Noowan, Coocn, Cooxe, Perkins 186 1937 THE BLUE HEN 1938 to its relative importance, Some editors allow members of the faculty to exercise an arbitrary, dogmatic, and unconstitutional power of censorship. For example Thomas Cooch, who became editor when the present writer resigned last fall, was then coerced into remaoving gossip columns, despite the fact thar he knew the general charges of indecency were not valid. It is rarely however, that the faculty meddles with this purely student activity, and even more rarely does an editor alter his policies to acquiesce to false accusa- tons and groundless criticism. The Review editors penerally try to cooperate on a friendly basis with the faculey; each group usually welcomes just criticism and constructive suggestions. Handlof had successful regime The administration of Alvin Handloff in 1935-36 was unusually successful, primarily because Handloff possessed high ability in all phases of his duties; his news columns were readable as well as accurare, and his editorials have, in the opinion of the present writer, never been surpassed in the history of The Review in the qualities of subject choice, diplomatic frankness, and lucidity of sryle. The most memorable and effec- tive of his editorials excoriated the faculty for not preventing students from cheating during examina- tions. The subsequent faculty and student uproar failed to part Handloff from his justified convictions. The policies of the present writer, who ook office in March, 1936, were primarily intended ro stimulate student interest in all divisions of college activity, for ed school spirit was in a lethargic condition. By using at thar time that general constructive enthusiasm cal mild sensationalism withour transgressing accuracy in ind by moderate use of hyperbole in his editorials, he endeavored, perhaps with guestdonable news articles success, to arouse his readers into a more active college life. His successor, Thomas Cooch, '35, adopted a more conservative, colorless manner, bur continued to print Revieu Bhresiness St i Ilf 1937 THe BLEUE HERM T.

Faced as he is with the problem of reorganizing the reportorial staff, and having had no extensive training before taking office. Cooke has much to do and much to learn before he can be expected to produce the first class newspaper that he may be expected eventually ro give the studenes. Bresr, SCHAGRIN, lanacs, Suaw, WiLson Govpstey, Bever, Greexnins a 1038 1 I'he Blue Hen- Robert C. Barab, Editor-in-Chief ITH painfully few exceptions, college yearbooks the country over have been the monotonous same for years and vears, Yet, so much of a cherished tradition' have they become that their worthwhileness is rarely gquestioned. Realizing the precarious basis on which many of them rest, a few editors here and there have made efforts, of varying success, to break away from the same old thing and do something a litele different. The purpose of a yearbook, as conventionally stated, is to recall to the minds of students in future vears a few fleeting glances of their happy days at college. Despite the fact that editors have been saying this in the Forwards of yearbooks for years, the present Blue Hen staff doesn't consider it ample justification for the time and money required to produce even a medi- ocre yearbook., Consequently, we have striven to plan and execute this book so as to give it something more than this vague, sentimental value. As seen of lare by progressive editors, a yearbook should provide something to read as well as to look ar. It must be carefully made up so as to assure balance in its makeup and content. As broad as possible a view of campus affairs concerning both faculty and students should be presented. The book as a whole must satisfy reasonably high licerary and artistic standards. As the editors of all Delaware College publications soon find out, these ideals are much easier to state than to attain. However, in the face of limitations par- ticularly of money and talentwe have done our best to approach them. First of all, we have tried to cur our what is meaning- less; for example, the traditional writeups abour the Juniors and Seniors to the effect that so and so is a fine fellow and will no doubt make his way in the world all of them saying practically the same nothing, with perhaps some slight variation in wording. To say anything different would in many cases result either in hurt feelings or in untruths. In assembling writeups of activities, we have tried, in all those we consider significant, to present the opinions of people closely connected with them. Constructive criticisms are offered in some of the writeups. th not annual 7 Chief fault in the setup of the Blue Hen is the fact that it is a bienniel rather than an annual publication, The rank unfairness of this circumstance to half the school is evident. People want vearbooks when they graduate, not while they're Juniors. The members of the Senior Class are featured in each book, since they Srurman, Stoll, TravNon, Isaacs, Cooke, Nooxan, Perkinsg, Saire, DANNENBERG Manvie, Baker, Banas, WarsurTOoN, CANPENTER 128 1937 THe BLUE HERN 1938 Biennial naturally hold the major campus offices. Most activiey leaders areand should beSeniors, Thus, those in evenly numbered classes really have no yearbooks! We feel therefore that the Blue Hen should be com- bined with the likewise bienniel Blue and Gold of the Women's College and that the combined publication should be published each year. Objections overruled ! The only ahjection to this proposal seems to be that the Women's College students would have no say in the production of the book; that they would lose the valuable administrative experience they now get by putting out their own bienniel. Teo this, we counter thar the responsibility might be practically divided be- tween a men's and women's editor, each to be respon- sible for his or her own college. Or, the editor-in-chief might alternate between the two colleges from year to vear. And since there would be twice as many issues for each college, the number of students who would have their fling ar publishing would increase corre- spondingly. What is more, the claim rhat Women's College staff members would be oo backward to take their share of responsibility and work is certainly open o question. The advantages thar would accrue from this plan make it seem strange that it wasn't put into effeet years apo. The available interesting materiala big problem for both books ar presentwould be greatly increased. Combining the talent of the two Colleges would be another huge asser. And the additional cost of the extra books would be covered by the greater advertis- ing appeal of the new book plus the decreased cost per book of the various processes involved because of larger production. From every angle, this is a plan which should he immediately effected. When it is, the University may E.C. B expect a real vearbook.

The year 1932 saw its birth with the appearance of two creditable issues of an elevated tone, Since the cost of publica- tion was covered by ads and popular subscriptions, the enterprise had to be abandoned for financial reasons. In 1935, by action of the Student Council,the Activities Fee was charged on the term bill, automarically making every man a member of the Student Association. This made the revival of the Humanist a financial possibility, 1. Edward Davidson was accordingly appointed Editor. Davidson knew relatively lictle abour editing a maga- zine, and he was unfortunate in thar there was no suitable model for him o follow, nor was there any one to give him the dubious benefit of previous experi- His editorial policy, therefore, was somewhat nebulous, as was his idea of just exactly whar kind of a magazine the Humanist was, ence, It seems to me, at this stage, having pur out one issue and preparing for another, thar these problems, which must be solved before the magazine can be firmly established as an institution for which there is a teal need on the campus, are still hanging fire. That a solution must be found is taken for granted. Just how or what is to be done is matrer for discussion. In a magazine of this type, where there is no definite air, it is the men who make it. Davidson was smart enough to realize his limitarions, and to surround him- self with men who could do the necessary jobs, He was smart enough o ask for opinions, and smar enough to make up his own mind afterwards. For this by HARRY T. STUTMAN he must be given credit. His two issues were no betrer than the material which he spotty. The present editor, who, curiously enough, happens to be the author of this article, would like to say thar he does the best he can. Thar is pure wurst, and sliced pl.'LL:H'r':r and pn.:'.':ll:trl.t in the L'nivur;-'.il:-,' of Delaware: had available. It was Proposal of monthly magazine It should be the function of the Humanist to be, first and foremost, the medium of expression for the under- graduate body, whether it be in the field of arr, litera- ture, or opinion. There are a surprising large number of men on the campus who would like o say some- thing. Many of them really have something o say. There is at present no occasion or place for such expression, unless it be the fraternity bull-session. The majority of Delaware men are non-fraternivy. It was with this thought in mind that a small group tried to start a monthly supplement to the Humanist, last December, mimeographed at first, if need be, believing that in time, in a very short time, it would achieve the printed page, with advertisements and all the trimming. At the same time, Mr, Lawrence Willson, popular English instructor, was invited by the Editor to review the Humanist for the Review. He did. He certainly did. He attacked particularly my editorial, in which I pre- Humanist Staff Knesuroor, Huneey, Swenenarr, Isaacs, Traynon, WiLson, Sricri Baran, Baker, Stursan, WarBUgTON, CARPENTER 130 1937 THE BLUE HEeTli 1938 Magazine sented the case for the monthly. His contention was that what we need is better stories, not more of them, He is right, but ar the same time, the way to get them is through a monthly. The present procedure is to wait until a month before 1 of material, and publication, suddenly collect a bate publish it. The resule is called the Humanist. The contributors write their stuff, the ediror looks it over, sometimes asks for corrections, sometimes ger them, and that's that. Now, why can't thar happen every month?! It secems to me that many fellows who have what it takes, in a manner of speaking, are awed by the Humanist, and will not contribute because it is the Lirerary Publication of Delaware College. That's silly, because at the same time, they don't hold it in any great respect. A lese pretentious and more intimate publication, appearing more often, would attract these gentlemen, and perhaps arouse some intellectual spirit. Not only should a college magazine offer a medium of expression for its student body, but it should mirror, as closely as possible, the everyday life of its contempo- raries, and the arirude of irs peneration toward important institutions and problems. In this lies another fault of the Humanise: its pussyfooting attitude toward controversial questions, and 1 mean real con- troversial guestions. In order to fulfill its funcrions efficiently and com- petently, the Humanist should be a co-ed affair. Bue the stand of the powers that be on this matter is only too well known. Itis proper, however, to mention in passing what an improvement on each other would be the Humanist and Pamba, the Woman's College magazine, if only as a marter of economy. Humanist Society Harry T. Soutman, Editor-in-Chief - Gearge Baker, Managing Ediror As it stands now, the Humanist has plenty of room for improvement, There could be more stories, and more articles of general interest. There could also be more humor, since a good part of the collepe man's day is spent either in laughing at something or someone, or vice versa.

These, I feel, have been the outstanding achievements of dramatic activities during the past two years at Dela- ware, And these will consdrute the subject marter of this article rather than synopses and criticisms of the plays which have been given. Indeed, criticisms of Foorlights Plavers tviEe:. Years ample number and intelligence have appeared in con- temporary publications o cover thar field. Stars that glitter Glancing back over the past few vears brings to the mind of anvone who has been connected with dra- matics several outstanding personalities. Bill Lawrence, Irvin Malcolm, T. Willey Keithley, Curtis Potts, Betre McKelvey, Mary Louise Wolfenden, and Vera McCall have all of them left their indellible stamp in the annals of Delaware's dramatics. More recently, the seemingly unfillable gaps left by the departure of these veterans have been capably filled by a long list of hopefuls. To mention a few, we have Libby MacFarland, Kay Castle, Kay Spencer, Dotty Counahan, Doris Hanna, Jeanne Davis freshman, T, Blair Ely, Harry Watson, William MNoonan, andin a class apartDelaware's own Boland and Ruggles, Jeanne Davis juniot and Tom Warren. These are the people who have made dra- matics what it is today and who will carry it ahead tomorrow, Chesser, technician par excellence On the technical end, one figure stands head and shoulders above everyone else, that of Gordon Chesser. With almost unlimited originality and awareness of what his audience wanted in the way of sets Chesser is probably the only stage manager whose sets drew spontaneous applause from the audiences, and rhis This starement is no longer true.

Of course, his accom- plishments in set designing would have been impossible without the capable assistance of Betty Armstrong, Betty Jean Hammond, Thomas Warren, Jack Alden, Jack Stewart, Alison Manns, Gilbert Carney, and many others. Receiving very little credit for their essenrial work are the many people on the business, publicity, costum- ing, make-up, and property staffs. Withour them, there could be no plays. These then, are a few of the people who have been bitten by the Drama bug. It gets youin more ways than one! It's hard workthis business of making productions consistently worthwhile. And yet, be- cause of some undefinable appeal dramatics has, those who get into it almost never drop out. Knowing exactly how much of a sacrifice of time and effort they are in for, they come back for more time afrer time. Experimentation a by-word The by word among the production staffs has been experimentation, ;mrlh' from choice and partly from necessity. Production staffs strive, most of them quite successfully, to keep out of a scenic rut by inventing new tricks of design. Then too, though the Mitchell Hall stage is excellent accoustically and is in general well equipped, there is a lack of stage space which is a constant challenge to the ser designers and con- SETUCTOTS, Dramatics - - Prof. C. R. Kase, Director of Dramatics As mentioned previously, the foremost and most radical dl:hignur of the present era has been Gordon Chesser. Through the development of a capable staff of assistants, the possession of a knowledze of his audiences' desires, and a clever technical-mind, Chesser was able to desien and execute such realistic sets as those used in Hell Bent For Heaven, and Squaring the Circle, such deviations from the ordinary as the modernistic set for Dark Tower and The Green Cockatoo, and uldmarely, that most trying and difh- cult of stagings, Peer Gynt.

Among them are the pivoting, double-faced wall, dubbed The Whirl-about Wall by Doctor Kase and by the more cynical group, Warren and Warburton's Folly' , and the Linnebach Lantern, both of which were first used in The Roof. However, if may venture a pre- diction, the development of the Linnebach Lantern as a means for uncommon scenic effects and the facili- tation of scenic design is unlimited. Three Major Drama Groups It is needless to discuss to any great extent the plays produced at the University by the three major groups, namely, the Puppets Club of Women's College, the Footlights Club of Delaware College, both directed by students and the E 52 Players, which combines the tesources of the two previously-named organiz- ations under the direction of Prof. C. R. Kase, the Director of dramatics at Delaware. As may be conjectured, the last-named group, since it draws upon the entire University for personnel, as- sumes a leading position in dramatics, with two pro- ductions a year. Within the past two years, its vehicles have been Hell Bent for Heaven, a drama of life among the Southern mountaineers, 'Peer Gynt, the psuedo-epic of Norweigian folk-lore, The Roof, a modern sophisticated drama, and Maoliere's 'School for Hushands, as musically adapted by Lawrence Langer and Arthur Guiterman, THE BLUE HET 1938 Dramatics + - - Preparing Set for FLY AWAY HOME EI'I Lill';:l..'l' conirast to rl'll..: TILTe il.ljl'i.lnl.'t'LJ il l.d Marunre type of drama presented by the Players, the Pup- pets, with Dark Tower and Fly Away Home, and rthe Footlighters, with Sguaring the Circle , have 1 rragedies, and leaning heavily toward sophisticated comedy. In additdon to the regular dramaric organizations, each vear brings the Women's College Compertitive Plays Contest and the Delaware College Interfraternity Play Contest. Promising material which otherwise might never come to light is often revealed by these one-act play competitions. These contests are spon- sored by the Women's College Dramaric Board and the Footlights Club respecrively. In conclusion, I feel perfectly safe in predicting for dramarics at Delaware, under the able direction of Prof. Kase, a continued advance in excellence of pro- duction and a realization by the student body as well as interested persons in the vicinity thar here ar the University is a steadily srowing youngster whose course is worth following in its advance to a major place on the campus.

This group comprised students who wanted to get a little public speaking experience and meet debaters from other universities. They have accomplished their purpose and in addition have spread the name of Delaware College among other colleses., The Debating Society will always be grateful to the Student Council for the financial support that has permitted them to carry on. The continuation of this financial arrangement will be to the mutual benefit of the College and the orators. Debating has been somewhat hampered by the dearth of interested debarers at Delaware. only five men to argue for the college last year, and six men have handled the schedule this vear, In the hope of increasing and improving the supply of talent, a freshman Drebate ream was organized lase fall. T!' II:'I'L: wWEere Ambitious scheduling The society arranged its first year's schedule with outstanding universites, in the hope of arousing campus interest in verbal combat. Haverford, Drexel, Rutgers, Vermont, and California, all furnished op- position for the Delaware squad last season. The re- sult was a decided increase in appreciation, on the part of the student body and the faculty, This year brought return matches with Haverford, Rutgers, and Vermont, and the initation of debating relarions with Swarthmore, Washingron College, Penn- State Coeds, Dickinson, and Villanova. This impres- sive list was selected to insure the Delaware debaters a 136 1237 THE BLYUEC HET series of pood, hard fought discussions on importan UEstions. A new type of speaking experience was made avail- able to some members of the team this year through the courtesy of Radio Station W.D.E.L. The meets with Rutgers and Penn-State Coeds were both broad- cast from thar station. Recognizing the facr thar subjects should be chosen with an eye to information as well as entertainment, the questions were used that reflected the controversial issues of the day. The debaters swapped vocabulary on such hair pulling issues as curtailment of Supreme Court power, adopdon of socialized medicine, 1. S. entrance in the next World War, rugged individualism versus regimentation, and Government regulation of hours and wages in Industry. Introduction of Oregon system Sceptics have always scorned debating for its cur and dried manner of presentation. The Oregon system of debate, however, has done much to change people's ideas on the subject at Delaware. This system is similar to court room procedure, in that each con- structive speaker is cross-examined by an opponent. This questioning is a source of grear entertainment for debaters and audience as a result of the sharp verbal parryings and thrusts which fluctuate from the very serious to the ridiculous. The results of the two vears of renewed debating ar Delaware warrants its contdnued and enlarged exist- ence. It is up to students o keep the standards of debating up by rheir participarion and encouragement. And, from present indications, they will, 1938 Athenaean Society HE Athenaean Society, formed in 1514 as a literary club, holds the distincrion of being the oldest or- ganized society at the University of Delaware. In the early vears of the college, it exisred as a secrer com- petitive club and was the intense and rraditional rival of the Delta Phi society. The acrivities of both organ- izations were literary and forensic, and it is said that many men learned more of parliamentary procedure, of effective public speaking, and atrained grearer skill in written expression through activity in these societies than from the formal requirements of their academic studies. Gradually, however, harder work in college and, perhaps, a more practrical spirit brought abour a fading our of the two societies afrer vears of languish- ing. At the time of the Delaware Centenary, in 1934, the Economics Club, upon the suggestion of Dr. George H. Ryden, head of the History Department, decided to broaden the scope of its activities and perpetuate the name of the old Athenaean Society. The reorganized club, while failing to emphasize literary endeavors as did the society of a century ago, lacks none of the old enthusiasm in forensics and forum discussions. It holds regular bi-monthly meetings at which time there are always lively discussions of polidcal and economic questions of national and international importance. Various speakers, either from the college or elsewhere, are invited to speak before the Society and lead the discussion. l. R. C. Convention The Athenaean Society gained wide recognition and by GEORGE COOKE contributed greatly to the life of the University last December when, in conjunction with the Forum of the Women's College, it acted as host to a convention of the International Relations Clubs of the Middle At- lantic states.

The fraternity however is also open to persons who have achieved success in the field of engineering out- side of college. The original chapter of the fraternity was founded ae Lehigh University in 18585 by Edward Higeinson Wil- liams, Jr. The Delaware Alpha chaprer was installed in 1033 through the efforts of Professor Koerber and H. Frank McWright. It is one of sixty-seven chaprers Beta Pi Tau throughout the country, which have a total member- ship of more than twenrv-one thousand engineers and furure engineers. Membership requirements are extremely rigid. One member is chosen at the end of his Sophomore year from the upper eight of his class, and is initiated the following autumn. The remaining upper eight are eligible at the spring initiatdon. In the Senior year, the percentage eligible becomes greater, members being taken from the upper fourth of the class. Selection is not entirely based on scholarship. Personality, leadership, and participation in college activities are also raken into consideration.

It has no concern in initiating anvone into the mysterious way of successful commuting. 1 have reason to hope that 1 shall herewith be successful in preventing anyone from ever taking commuting seri- ously. Soliciting rides, to employ the idiom of the Dean's bulletin board, is the oldest known means of commut- ing. In an account by that eminent Greek historian, Xenophon, we have one of the first recorded hops in history. And they marched from thence eight days march along the River Euphrates toward Cunaxa. And on the fourth day Cyrus, standing in his chariot, saw an old man standing beside the road. And Cyrus, see- ing the old man making gestures, spoke to him thus: Old man, what do you want!? And the old man re- plied, I wish to make a journey to Cunaxa, where King Darius has his army. Then Cyrus ordered the old man to stand beside him in the chariot, and from that place they resumed the journey. Today, thumbing it has become a much more com- plicated matter than the old man found it to be back in 500 B.C, The Thumbers' banes Let me mention a few of the banes to a thumber's existence which have helped complicare it. The worst, I think, is the type wha, when you thumb him, oscillates his own digit in derision from the safery of his car. Even if this fellow gave vou a hop he would be a bad risk, as he is qualified to take number five position on a four-man comedy ream and, as such, considers him- self very, very funny. 144 1937 THE BLUE HEN . The Art ot by HARRY RICH Then there is the fellow-thumber who allows you to do the signalling while he embraces a telephone pole with his back, He tells you that you have a much more pleasing personality than he, and stand more chance of gerting a ride. There is also the pest who thumbs juse above you but, when he sees that you are about to get a hop, rushes down to grab it for himself, and waves a trium- phant farewell from the back window of the car. Caution! Don't thumb these In passing, here is a list of those whom 1 have decided it is best not to flag: First, the motorist who looks at you from behind three-days' stubble and the wheel of a brand-new car of the low-price class and who has evebrows as big and black as a hearse. This chap has been waiting for a new car since the old one and Cal Coolidee decided not to run. Since he is now, by implication, a man of property he feels himself to be a grear deal berter than you. What keeps him from wearing an expression of self-satisfaction is the thoughr of next month's inseall- ment and his salary. Second, the car which looks as though it had been blown up with the Maine, The owners of such cars are local people who have no more faith in their car's ability to cotivey them ten miles than yvou have. At any rate, you think it probable thar walking is faster, safer, and more comfortable. Third, the man who comes up to a stop-light, glares at ir, and tramps on the accelerator every now and then. He is the boy who is off on the orange light and looks at you as though you weren't there. Fourth, Joe College and his woman. The better- looking the eal is the worse it is for the thumber, The aforementioned . C. is all-expansive, and becomes friendly to the point of nauseatng you, in an efforr o raise himself in rhe estimation of the aforementioned beauty., You are ready to faint when J. C. begins to orate on the virtues, lovableness, and cleverness of 1938 Thumbing 1t - - - every member of the faculty and do so when he inti- mates that he and Prof. Blank, who gave him a Three Weeks Card, make the Damon and Pyrhias affair look like an introduction at a party. However, in guite a few cases the reverse of the foregoing is true. This is probably due 1o the fact thar the couple have known each other for guite a while and have definite ideas about each other. In this case, the only conversation in which the thumber takes part is just after he gets in and just before he gets out. There's another side to the story. The thumbers are far from perfect themselves. 1 know; I drove down for a while and picked up some of them. Many of them feel either that they are doing you a big favor by-grant- ing you their company or else that they are morally obligated to provide entertainment for the other pas- sengers, Perhaps the nerviest of the lot is the thumber who insists that you let him out someplace either on or out of the way so thar he can get a hat, coat, or some other important item. It isshall say!somewhat annoy- ing to wait for him wasting gasoline in the hope that he'll be along any minute, Then, the woman-crazy type who feels thar he must discourse ar length upon his experiences with the oppo- site sex and feels forced to make conjectures upon the morals and atrractiveness of anything he sees wearing a skire. If the objects of his attention possess either of these gualities he doesn't care for them; but, after getting a good look at him, I'd say that the feeling should certainly be mutual. Finally, comes the fellow student who must relate how he pulls the wool over the eyesof all his professors, constantly shames them in repartee, but gets lower grades than he deserves probably because they're jealous of his superior intellect. When he gets around o telling you how badly hoodwinked you were in your last repair job, your maximum of self-control is needed to keep vou from throwing him violently out of the car. But despite it all, I still think thumbing it is a better way of getring where vou're going than peddling a bicycle.

The Governing Board is made up of the President of the University, the Deans of the various departments of Delaware College, the Business Administrator, the President of the Athletic Council, the Director of Physical Education, and the Graduare Manager or Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Governing Board has final jurisdiction over all decisions made by the Athletic Council.

The maintenance of the Intercollegiare Athletic pro- gram of Delaware College is almost entirely under- written by the Studenr Athletic fees, and for chis reason, it has always been the policy of the Athleric Council to carry on as extensive a program as possible with the funds available so as to afford the largest number of students the opportunity to take parr in some form of Intercollegiate Athletics. It is to the credit of the Council that during the years of the so- called depression the Intercollegiate program was not curtailed in the least. True it is that there have been vears when the Athleric council has had a deficic at the end of the College vear, burt that deficit has always heen caused by the face thar the Council was forced to carry some expense or other which should have been borne by the College. However, with the aid of the Board of Trustees of the College, who have always been able o appreciate the efforts of the Athletic Council, this deficit has been taken care of, and today the Council is again operating with a balance instead of a deficie, I1 the matter of Intercollegiate contests won and lost, Delawate has had a fair average. Over a period of years, the number of contests won in the various sports has ahour bal- anced those lost. The University has nevet lowered its high academic standards or requirements in favor of extra-curricu- lar activities, particularly in the case of athletics. It is, therefore, a source of gratification to those connecred with the conduct of the Intercollegiate Arhletics at the University that our teams in the vari- ous sports have been composed of bona fide students in good academic standing. It is the aim of the Athletic Council to devote all of its funds ro the proper main- tenance of a comprehensive Intercollegi- ate athletic program, and to encourage as far as possible with the facilities available the entire student hody to participate in some way in Intercollegiare Athlerics. 1938 149 1935 Football Season WINNING two, tying one, and losing five, the Clark-coached gridmen played erratic football all through the '35 season. Jack Glover captained the outfit, which was made up of quite a few ourstanding players. Many fans were of the opinion that the team did not work as a unit, but more as individuals, which, they argued, made for the downfall of the aggregation., Starting out the season with a bang, the Mud Hens turned in a victory when they took Dickinson, 10 to 7, at Carlisle. When the spectators had just abour re- signed themselves to accepting a 7-7 deadlock, Dela- ware worked the ball in close to the Dickinson goalline, where Big Ed Thompson kicked a field goal in the waning moments of the fracas. Mt. St. Mary's was held o a scoreless stalemate in the second contest of the season as the underdog Delawareans, with the aid of Thompson's lengehy kicks, kept the ball far down in their opponent's territory throughout the game, Randolph-Macon's strong team crushed the Blue Hens, who were handicapped greatly by the absence of Thompson, on the following Saturday. The big full- back was confined to the bench by a twisted ankle, and the Blue and Gold was not able to hold the Southerners, who won, 26 w o, In the fourth game of the season, the Hens again 150 1937 THe BLUe HET broke into the win column by completely smearing the Washington College gridsters 11 to 6. Again Thomp- son stood out for the Newark collegians, making all four touchdowns, three successful conversions, and numerous zood passes, The second defear of the season came when St Joe's downed the Clarkmen in a well-fought battle, 1g-13. The locals were without the assistance of Captain Jack Glover and Ed Thompson, the former being out with a leg infection, and the latrer being dis- missed from the team for plaving with an ourside team of semi-professionals. Despite a mighty strugele, Delaware wenr down before P. M. C. in a close one at the Convention Hall in Atlantic City. Failing to convert after their lone touchdown, the Blue and Gold lads had to be content with holding their opponents to a 7-6 score. The remainder of the season was just a story of wo much power against the Clarkmen. They were over- whelmed by Drexel in an away game by a 14 to 7 count, and were submerged by Lebanon Valley in the curtain game of the season, 18-o. Some of the ourstanding team members were Captain Jack Glover, Ed Thompson, Dick Roberts, Frankie Mayer, Tommy Patterson, Charley Gouert, and Geonge Records. 1938 ootball Season Eiy, West Senior Managers H.-diNDICFkPPEE.'I' throughout the season by injuries sustained by players, the University of Delaware's 1936 football club, led by their fichting caprain, Jack Hodgson, held up quite well under the onslaughts of teams much heavier than they. Althoush the Clark- men only won two games out of the eight played, they gave a good account of themselves in several very ex- citing onesCeorgetown, Mt, St. Mary's, and St. Joe's. There were three wital factors in the team's poor showing. The first of these was the apparent lack of a good punter, which lack usually kept the Mud Hens with their backs to the wall. Time after time the opposing team would pick up yardage op an exchange of punts. This failing, however, was alleviated by the appearance in the lineup of Howard Viden, a fresh- man, who proved himself to be an excellent cothn cotner kicker. This term is applied to a kick thar goes out of bounds after having gone its maximum distance. Secondly, the '36 Hen gridsters seemed to be weak in their offensive push. Many times during the season the opportunity for scoring presented itself, only to see the Blue and Gold pushed back by a resisting opponent. as is often the casethe boys tried too hard. The third fault of the team, which was made quite evident to the fans throughour the season, was rhe Pl.:Thal'l:i outfit's failure to convertto ger those invaluable points after touchdown that count s0 much. Herein is found the reason for the Hens' losing many of their games. In the Drexel game, for one example, there was a chance ar least to de, bur there was also a chance to win it on a field goal. The team had worked the ball into good position for an attempr at a field goal, but unable to rely absolutely on a man to try the kick, the chance was passed up, and the Blue and Gold had lost another game. 8.

The inexperienced Blue Hens were defeated by the lopsided score of 19 to 0. Much heavier than the Hens, the pigskin handlers from Washingron loped up and down the gridiron at will, in what they considered ro be a breather. Eddie Graham, a speedy freshman back, proved to be the best performer of the day, but was unfortunately injured, thereby keeping him out of action for several games, Dillom, Center MOUNT ST. MARY'S In the first home game of the season, the Clarkmen failed to click, and went down to a 14 o loss before Mt St. Mary's. The local gridders, however, stood up remarkably well on the defensive in the face of the hard-driving Mount backs. Held down by poor punting, the Blue and Gold was on the defensive for the biggest parr of the same, bur late in the game, following two first downs by Dick Roberts via line smashs, Ryvan heaved a beauriful pass to Scannell, who ran to the opponent's four-vard line before being tackled. This was the only time during the game that the Clark-coached men came close w scoring, and even then they were pushed back rapidly by the heavy Saint line. DELAWARE FOREVER Wilsan, End Roberts, Back DProzdov, Guard ST. JOSEPH'S An apparent victory for the Clarkmen was stolen from under their noses with a suddenness that left the fans breathless in this, the third game of the season, played on Frazer Field. Playing beautiful ball, the Blue Hens took the initi- arive early in the first period, keeping the Saints back against their own goal line. Jack Daly downed a St Joe back behind his own broad stripe, putting the Hens in the lead, z-o. Swede Drozdov, Delaware's burly tackle, blocked a Hawk kick, Joe Scannell recovered for Delaware, and Tommy Ryan took the pigskin over the line in the second gquarter. The attempt to convert was unsuc- cessful, and the scoreboard read 8-o, Delaware's favor. At this point, St. Joe's offense srarted to function. They pushed across three rallies in rapid succession. From this point on, the game dragged. St Joe scored once more in the final period, despite stubborn re- sistance by a disheartened Delaware team. This time they did convert, and Delaware was on the bottom of a 25 to 8 count. L. Carey, Back ST. JOHN'S Traveling down to Annapolis to play St. John's fast eleven, the Blue and Gold took an unexpected sethack, the Johnnies slipping the pigskin over the Mud Hen broad stripe in the second and fourth guarters, and converting once, to make the final count 13 to 6. Delaware's only bid for victory came in the third period, when, after the gridders had raken the ball down to the 5t. John 14yard line, Dick Roberts took the ball over on a well-execured delayed end run. Bob Ramsay, Dick Roberts, and Ernie George stood out for Delaware, but the game as a whole was very sloppy, both teams fumbiing frequently. HURRAH, BOYS, HURRAH Ran, Back F. Carey, Back Daly, End RANDOLPH-MACON Amateur and professional prognosticators conceded Randolph-Macon a cinch to defear the Mud Hens in the latter's second game of the season. However, the local ageregation, by virtue of a smooth attack and a strong defense, held the Southerners to one touchdown while amassing 1g points for themselves, thus avenging a 25-o licking administered them last season, The thrill of the fracas came in the third frame when Roberts grabhed a Randolph-Macon punt and raced through the entite opposition. Again the try for an exrra point failed. This score came when Delaware led 76, Jack Daly having grabbed a pass thrown by Lew Carey for the first score, which came in the open- ing period, and Husky Payne having made a successful kick berween the uprights. The Clark-coached combine really let loose after this second score, and ran rampant over the South- erners. But, with the tide of the battle with them, they only made one more score. This last tally was made by Ryan, the brilliant Soph back, in the waning moments of the same. Once more Delaware failed o convert. Ramsay, Back PENNSYLVANIA MILITARY COLLEGE Playing inspired and brilliant ball, the Blue and Gold downed a strong, fast PM.C, eleven in the annual night game played in Atantic Ciry's Convention Hall. The victory, the second of the season for the Clarkmen, gave them a onegame edge over the Caders in the series, each ourfit having previously won seven games. The scorehoard read 6o at the final gun. The Soldiers failed to threaten throughout the game, due to the fact that Delaware's beautiful offense and defense playing, plus Howard Viden's well-placed kicks kept them in the shadows of their own goal posts. Cheered on by wild-eved spectatars, the Mud Hens ook the ball to within scoring position in the fourth quarter, after having knocked at the Cadet's wide stripe all night. Fenron Carey then took the ball over on a deceptive wide end run. The kick from placement was wide, Schuartz, Tackle Up WITH HER BANNER Havyman, Tackle Frankofsky, Guard DREXEL Before a record crowdir being Alumni Day another of what seemed to be a sure win for Delaware was grabbed from them by a fighting Drexel club. This was the final home game for the season, and the Blue and Gold rooters felt cheated when they had to leave on the short end of a 7-6 score. Delaware's lone score came midway in the first frame, when Dick Roberts intercepted a Drexel pass on his own 33-vard tape, swung to the left, where he picked up his interference, swung back to the right, and continued to the pay territory unmolested. Un- fortunately, the extra point, which would have made it a tie game, was not made. The ball see-sawed back and forth between the two 35-yard stripes until Drexel began a long march via the air lanes in the third period, culminating in a six- pointer. The ball sailed right between the bars on the attempt ar conversion, giving the Drexelites their margin of victory. Payne, Guard WASHINGTON Appearing to have the contest well in hand, the Hens slipped, dropping the curtain game of the season to their traditionally bitter rivals, Washington College. Although Delaware maintained a 6-o lead ar half rime, they were thrown completely off guard by a furious attack by the downstaters in the last two periods. The close of the fracas found the Newark collegians on the short end of a 21 to 6 score. The Blue and Gold gridsters played heads-up ball during the first half, scoring early in the game, and otherwise ruling the roost. However, the Chesterton lads came back in the second half to dispel any hopes that Delaware might have of a victory. A pass, a long march, and a long run down the sidelines each culmi- nated in a tally for the Washington team. These rallies plus three good conversions succeeded in thoroughly defeating the Blue and Gold. AND FLING T A AR Graham, Back Captain Hickman Pennock Soccer UHDER the expert tutelage of Coach Andy Bowdle, the University's 1936 soccer team turned out to be one of the school's best outfits in years. Led by Captain Harold Hickman, the soccerites won four, lost three, and tied one game in a schedule which in- cluded some of the best collegiate teams of this section. Throughout the season the booters played beaurtiful aggressive ball. On rhe whole, although individuals did stand out in certain contests, the team showed ex- cellent teamwork and good spirit. These factors, explains Coach Bowdle, are vital prerequisites for an all-around soccer team. The soccermen started off strong, taking in their sttide Temple Rider, and Dickinson. Temple was the first victim, falling to the tune of three tallies to none as the Blue and Gold actually ran circles around the hays from the Philadelphia institution. Elliott Bant Trenton's Rider College was the next opponent to be subdued, bur the Delaware players had to go the limit to eke our a 1 to o win. To Bob Lippincotr, stellar outside lefr, goes the credit for che lone rally of the fracas, and to the entire team goes the credic for halding char small lead. The Dickinson encounter proved to be the most exciting of the season, for it was not until the last few seconds of the contest that the deciding goal was made. With the score standing tied at 11 from the first period on, both teams played hard, fast ball in an attempt to drive the sphere through the uprights for that important tally. The Dickinson goalie made several magnificent saves as the Hens kept pounding away at the goal. As the time waned and an overtime pericd loomed inevitable, George Grant, Delaware's diminutive inside lefr, slipped one through to put an exciting finish on a well-played game. The final score was 2-1.

The strong Gettysburg combine forced the Blue Hens to accept a 4-2 defear. Frankie Ellior, Hen inside right, accounted for both of Delaware's markers, Deelaware suffered another defeat when they traveled to New York to engage Stevens. Fighting right up to the final whistle, the Blue and Gold were finally de- feated, 2 to 1. Coach Bowdle's proteges held the upper hand all through the Ursinus game, coming out on the top of a 3-o final count. Much of Delaware's offensive punch came from the presence of Tommy Pennock, former pigantic goalie, in the forward wall. Pennock was moved into the left wing position after the Stevens game and managed to give the Ursinus team a lot of trouble. Bernie Doordan, George Grant, and Pennock kicked the Delaware goals. Lippincot: McCord Soccer Fighting a heavy wind and a strong Franklin and Marshall outfir, the booters had to be content with a scoreless tie in that contest. A superior West Chester Stare Teachers' College team took Delaware in the final tile of the season. Despite the hard playing of the Hens, the Teachers, whose long winning streak was being threatened, tightened up and scored three goals while holding the Mud Hens to a single point. Captain Hickman, Tom Pennock, and Frank Elliot, seniors, participated in their final game as members of Delaware's soccer team. Each played grand soccer throughout the season, and made a good showing in his curtain game. An interesting notation is that Earl McCord, Cap- tain Hickman, Tom Pennock, Everert Mai, and Whitey Bant plaved every minute of eight soccer games, quite a feat in thar soccer is one of the toughest of all com- petitive sports, the playvers seldom resting. 5O FEARLESS AND FREE Play from Kick-off i 157 Fill Carey Fan Basketball TARTING off with a bang, only to finish the season poorly as a resule of injured players and a seemingly general let-down on the part of the players themselves, the basketball team failed to make an impressive show- ing for the '36- 37 season. Of the sixteen contests played, only four were won. Coach Lyle Clark had some good material at the beginning of the season, only to have it cut to pieces from time to time by injuries, The first game on the schedule proved ro be rhe best played by the Clarkmen. The team journeyed to Philadelphia to engage St. Joe's, whose guintet de- veloped into one of the finest in the East, and held l:l i:l'l'.l ey A -::' .-!::' SCOTE. Winning the next two games, Osteopathy and Hampden-Sydney by large margins, the Blue and Gold quintet appeared to be going places, only to be swamped Captain Wilson Hayman in their next contest by Rutgers by the overwhelming count of 76 to 35 But the basketeers came back Srrong and took Haverford and P.M.C. into camp in rapid succession. The University of Baltimore eked our a victory in the Mud Hens' next fracas, but the undergraduates and rabid Delaware fans began to look forward to a good season for the local five. Here was where they mis- calculated, for in the very next game, with Lew Carey, star forward, out with an insrep injury, Washingron College took the locals over the ropes o the tune of 11-22. This game was the beginning of the end for the local cagersthey dropped all of their remaining games, although half of them were lost by close scores. After nearly a month's rest from competition, during which all the team members passed safely through mid- year examinations, the five took quite a lacing at the hands of West Chester State Teacher's College. Then came the Bucknell dlt, in which the Hens came out on the short end of a 47 to 28 score. The five re- FOREVER AND EVER Dalx Shears sisted stubbornly in the Dickinson game, only to find the final score 40 to 35 against them. P. M. C. was the next victor over Delaware, thus avenging a defeat in an earlier game. The return game with Washingron College was an exciring bartle, bur again the Clarkmen were vanguished, Almost disheartened by their string of defeats, the team braced, and made Drexel go the limit to win the next dlt, in which Lady Luck was against the Newark collegians. The score ar the gun, 50 to 47, tells a rale of woe too long to be recorded hetein. Traveling to New York for encounters wich Stevens and Prare, the quintet fell before these two rather strong reams o end up a decidedly poor season. A really brilliant forward, Lew Carey, took top scoring honors for the season with 127 points. Cap- tain Teedie Wilson snared g1 counters for second place, turning in 24 of these markers in one game alone! Wilson graduates in June, and the team will suffer the loss of one of Delaware's most consistent players in vears. Earl Shears, the Frosh star, came next in Lindsay Basketball the scoring honors with 85, while fourth goes o Jack Daly, who was unfortunately confined to the bench much of the season by injuries. Despite the fact that Daly saw so little action, he accounted for 68 poines in the time he did play. Some of the other more out- standing members of the ream were Rube Hayman, a newcomer, Tommy Pennock, Ferris Wharton, Bruce Lindsay, and Earl McCord. Although figures show that the Hens fared badly as far as actual games were concerned, they came out pretty well in toral points scored as compared with Delaware piled up 528 points while their adversaries ammassed b20. total points scored by their opponenis. Coach Andy Bowdle's Jay Vee five offers some likely material for next year's Varsity combination. Some of the more promising are Eddie Anderson, Bill Gerow, Guy Wharton, George Anderson, and Kee.

WORR ING from a nucleus of six returning veter- ans, Coach Ed Bardo has managed to build up a likely-looking track team, but one which has had, w date, a little too much compedton.

St. Joe's was the first team on the schedule, and won out by a three-point margin. A pair of Hen yearlings, Bob Ramsay and Tommy Hatcherson, tock point- g e scoring honors for the day with 15 and 14 points, respectively. Ramsay is brilliant in the high hurdles, high jump, and broad jump. Hatcherson excels in the 100 and zz2o-yard runs, and also makes a good showing in the quarter-mile and broad jump. The snappy Swarthmore cindermen romped to an easy victory in Delaware's meet with them, the second and last to be covered by this article. Bob Ramsay gave a stellar performance in the high hurdles, covering the 120 yards of obstacles in the excellent time of 16.1 seconds! Ed Bardo sent a mile-relay team to the Penn relays, but the quartet, Perkins, Hatcherson, F. Carey, and Dickinson, with Tyler as alternate, failed to give a good account of itself. 1936 Track Team J.

Four con- tests were won out of the rwelve engaged in. The fish gor off to a bad start, kneeling before Swarthmore in the latter's poolan undersized affair, filled with murky water. In the first home meer, the splashers overcame the University of Maryland's team in good form. Then came a three week's rest for the mermen, during which time their ranks were ravaged by exam mis- fortunes, With Hymie Schwartz, ace backstroker and diver, ineligible, and with such dependables as Bob Snyder, 220 and g4c-yard freestyler, Harold Flink, Frankofsky, and Rogers out of school, there was little material left upon which Coach Bardo could form a swimming team. However, he put our a call for new men, and managed to scrape together a team in time to thoroughly lick West Chester State Teachers' outfit. Franklin and Marshall, Rider College, Pittsburgh, and Lehigh, some of the strongest teams in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Association, swept owver Delaware withour much trouble. St. Joseph's was defeared by the Hens as the latter broke into the win column for the third dme. The mermen lost a chance to redeem themselves when they went to New York to meet Manhattan and St. Francis when both of these teams won out over the Blue and Gold as the latter failed to produce. Delaware was submerged by Carnegie Tech in the final meet on the schedule, bur Bardos charges came back to overwhelm Temple in a post-season duel.

Leach, Zabenko, Hall, Arnold, and Fooks are all promising marksmen, and there is a grear possibility that the University will have a erack team representing her next yeat.

Not until this vear has it been found possible to institute the thoroughgoing Intra-Mural program which is now a permanent part of Delaware athletics. In all phases of the program, maximum benefic to the greatest possible number of participants has been the primary consideration. A student coachpicked from the Physical Education majorshas been provided for each team in order to improve the students athletic ability as well as to raise the standards of comperition. All those entered in competition are required to put in a period of preliminary practice before acrually meeting other teams. This is to guard them from the organic and systemic strains which they would be risk- ing without proper conditioning. In selecting the sports for the program, it was at- tempted to use those with the greatest carry over 166 1937 o ntra- value into later life. Such sports as badminton, paddle tennis, boxing, wrestling, etc., can be participated in many years after leaving college. They are therefore of great value to college men. Realizing the great value as an incentive of offering rewards for excellence of performance, we are giving cups and tingsthrough the Student Councilas re- wards for individual achievement. The program is so arranged that the rewards go w the individuals who earn the most poines chrough group participation over a period of years. This arrangement assures conrinual, interesting competition, preserves the values of indi- vidual effort, and still fosters healthy group effore., At the time of writing, six of the ten sports have heen run off; namely, basketball, ping pong, swimming, volleyball, badminton, and wrestling. Basketball Basketball was the first sport to get started. The turnout was rather large with twelve teams in the competition. It soon became evident, however, that the play would be dominated by the Freshmen, coached by Jack Hodgson, and Hymie Swarez's Dark l Horses. The final results of this fast paced league found the Dark Horses on top as a result of a well plaved victory over the Freshmen. Swimming As was expected, the turnout for the round-robin swimming tournament was not as large as for basket- ball. Only four teams participated. Here again, there was close competition between two teams, in this case between Oscar Lote's Mermen and Hymie Swartz's proteges, the Neprunes. They finally split the two contests, the Neptunes taking the round-robin and the Mermen, the championships, Table Tennis Ever popular table tennis or ping pong found a host of entries.

After several weeks of the inces- sant barrage of ball against table had finally ceased, the Moore Seniors, under Bill Moore, showed their heels to a rather fancy field. Further competidon will be held to determine the individual champs since the College Humor Magazine is offering gold and silver medals and subscriptions o the Table Tennis Guide to the winners of an elimination tournament, Volleyball Volleyball, termed by different people an old man's game and a man's game, ran simultaneously with the ping pong tournament.

Badminton For the third time, Hymie Swartz led his tcam to victory when his badminton .'iE.IHHI.E came through with a win in that sport after a thrilling contest. Wrestling Wrestling was taken by Tom Hill's Azarts. Still to be contested at the time of writing are soft- ball, with a field of ren reams including a Faculey team, track, which has not yet been fully organized, paddle tennis, and boxing. 1937 THE BLUE HEN In conclusion, there are two facts to be emphasized: the Intramural program has been successful and it has helped rather than detracted from wvarsity athletics. The success of the program is evidenced by the fact that some 375 participantssome of them repeaters, it is truehave been on the lineups of the various events. Maturally, flaws have developed in the program during its first year of operation. Many of them have already been ironed our; many more will be by next year. Meanwhile, the experience gained this vear will serve as a guide to avoid similar errors in furure years. The Department of Physical Education is grareful for the helpful cooperation of all campus organizations, including the Fraternities, and it extends its sincere thanks to the members of the student body for the fine cooperation and interest they have evidenced throughout the vear. Buskethall and Swimming Winners 1938 167 Kxorr, Manchester, McManon, Coacn Jones, Groves, Pvie, Laskans, Grasr Beuno, Rice, Doxono, Caney, Weres, Bantosuesky UE to unfavorable weather, the Blue Hen rennis team, under the direction and coaching of Pro- fessor Ralph W. Jones, made a belated start, and, up to deadline, had won one match, lost one, and tied one. The racquet-weilders were caprained by Lew Carey, who was undefeated last season in singles matches, and were graced by the playing of the following veterans Bill Wells, Roy Donoho, Lee Rice, and Frank Nichols. Besides these, there wete some promising Freshmen who reported to Coach Jones' call to practiceBar- toshesky, Laskaris, Schulson, Wagner, and Knopf. Bartoshesky is the present state junior tennis champion. ROFESSOR HOUGHTON'S Blue and Gold golf- ers, under the leadership of Caprain Bob Jamison, had made a fair showing for themselves up to the time that this publication went to press, winning one, tying one, and losing two. However, at this time there are five more meets for the linksman, and, considering the way in which they are getting into shape, they should win a goodly number of the remaining marches. Six veterans rurned out at Coach Houghron's call Bob Jamison, Teedie Wilson, ex-caprain, Bob Goaod, Bob Lippincorr, Bill Moore, and Bud Stradley. Held back by inclement weather, the team was prevented from getting much practice before the season opened, thus leaving them handicapped. Lack of practice has been very much in evidence, for Jamison holds the low 168 1937 THE BLUE HET The raquet-ers met St. Joe's first, and darkness closed the match at four all. Nichols, Rice, and Bartoshesky won their singles competition, while Lew Carey, who rushed from a ball game to play, and Bill Wells an- nexed their doubles march. The superior playing of the Swarthmore netmen served to down the Hens in a well-contested match. Delaware won only three matches out of the nine played. P. M. C. was blanked in the last match to be covered by this article, Delaware winning six singles and three doubles matches. medal score for the season with a 78, which is com- paratively poor. However, with all these beautiful spring days, the golfers are cramming in all the pracrise time permits. The first match of the season was tied, Dela- ware and Haverford winning three matches each. The Hens met Lehizh at Bethlehem in a driving rain storm, and were defeared as the Engineers made a clean sweep of all six matches. Dickinson was subdued by a one- point margin, 5-4. Swarthmore downed the Dela- wareans 31 to z b4, Because of the scholastic ineligability of Franny Jami- son and Ed Anderson, the team has lost the services of two good golfers, both of these Frosh shooting in the low 70's. 19238 RATERNITIE S nter-Fraternity - - - Council Sigma FPhi Epsilon Grover T.

I irmly maintain, sitting up rhetorically, that Delaware College is a den of sloth, a place damned to eternal ennui, where nothin ever His flow of words was cut off abruptly by an oversize pillow, hurled through the darkness with the uncanny accuracy and precision born of long pracrice. A short skirmish ensued. It wended its way out into the dormitory hall, where it turned into a bitter bacle through the simple procedure of clipping each towsled head as it was cauriously poked out the door by its sleepy, irate owner. In no time at all, there was a major offensive raking place out on the campus in front of Harter Hall. The crisp night air was soon filled by the frightful battle cries: Nothin ever happens here! It does s0. This is a dead college! YEill 'im! Help! This couldn't go on forever. After all, some of the people in Newark do want to sleep. So the two armies were suddenly quieted down. They were surrounded by the whole Newark Police Departmentboth of themand packed off to Newark's dear little jail where the argument continued. Maybe, it wasn't as violent, but it surely was as vigorous. It didn't take very long before the Police Department got darn sick and tired of supporting all these madmen, so the Madhouse was accordingly moved o the fourth floor of Harter Hall, Sectdon B, where, firmly en- trenched, they have ever since been waging furious battle with the Proctor, whose Herculean efforts have failed to dislodge them from their almost impregnable Plectse turn to page 183 1938 185 GARRETT, MILLER Compliments of .

Taking advantage of this diversion of attention, the barbs associated themselves into a purely social organizatdion, under the leadership of Jules Reiver. These enterprising young gentlemen held several house- parties, and won recognition from the Student Council as a social entity . . . all this without a sit-down strike, mind you. Their next purely social acrivity was to gang up against the frar men in a body in the recent elections, voting as a political unit in the three-sided battle be- rween the Sig Ep Independent Party, the Thera Chi Sigma Nu-K. A.Sigma Tau Phi Coalition, and the Mon-Frat Social Organization, with the Coalition grab- bing all the gravy. The only barbs to get anything were those either afhiliated with, or supported by the Coalition. In spite of a few usual and expected double- crosses, everything went off quite well even when the local Wilmington papers printed the new Student Council officers in their four p. m. edition, which was very interesting, especially in view of the fact thar they weren't elected until seven o'clock that evening. Bun of course, thar was merely a formality.

All right now, boy t dc i We are rapidly approaching Nowhere. Let us leave these two playfull palsies, and consider the Intra-mural program. It was well-received, especially by the barbs, but there was some opposition to it in the Inter- Fraternity Council. This sentiment, however, was not expressed officially by that august body until April, when the new Council, under the guidance of its new officers, addressed a communique to our good President, Dr. Hullihen, in which they stated that unless the Inter-Fraternity Relay Race were allowed to be run next year, the support of all greeks would be regret- fully withdrawn from the 1. M'. Next vear will tell the tale. Another matter which attracted some considerable attention and comment was the Review, which fluctu- ated from bad to worse and back again and all over the lot, until it got to the point where it was even contemplated appointing some sophomore by the name of Harry T. Stutman to the thankless post of Edicor. Things, however, were not quite in such a bad stare as all thar, and after some disgraceful publicity in Bad- Boy Perkins' pillar the Sports Column of the Review George Cooke was named the man, and from all indications, the paper is getting better and better every week. No stuff. We just took a look at our two roomies. They're still ar it, so let's consider something more peaceful. May-Day, for instance. Every year, it is the custom of the cuties from the southern end of the Campus to elect themselves a May Queen and her Duchesses. And then they cavorr themselves about the Maypaole, in a manner which causes oneany oneto feel that they are all quite unaware of its significance. This, however, is not surprising in view of the senseless re- strictions under which they live, It is perhaps pet- tinent at this time to tell allor should it be kiss and tell? Anyway, the gals must be in by ten p. m. on any ordinary date. Heaven only knows what is the defini- tion for an extraordinary one! The poor deluded creatures must be in within halfhour after a dance is over, which perhaps accounts for the reputation of the Delaware man as a fast worker. Nothing has as vet been done about combining small advanced classes into co-ed sections, which would halve many a poor prof's schedule, beside frecing class- rooms and making more advanced courses possible. But it looks as if we'll have to wait untl the good Dean Robinson has a change of heart. Let us, at this point, see what our two roomies are doing now.

An example of the ahove-men- tioned courtesy: I was asked whether there was anything valu- able needed in the pockets, before the latter went up into the tree along with the trousers. Their single lack of consideration in the whole ceremony was the fact that they chose a tree just a little too tall for me. CamEera! The most delectable part of the whole matter was my being caught up in the aforementioned tall tree, minus my pants, by a very expert photographer.
