THEMATIC THIS VOLUME OF THE OW L IS AN EXPERIMENT. AS THE CHEMIST MIXES SUBSTANCES IN HIS TEST TUBES, SO HAVE WE MIXED WITH THE SOLID GRANITE OF THE COMMONPLACE A CERTAIN RESTLESS GROPING FOR THE TRUE ESSENCE OF THE BEAUTY THAT IS ABOUT US. OUR ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE OF THE STUFF OF DREAMS, OF THE UNIQUE, THE UNSEEN. W E HAVE PLACED FULLY AS MUCH EMPHASIS UPON THE BEAUTY OF LIGHTS ON THE RIVER AT NIGHT, OF A BROOK THAT SPLASHES OVER GRAY ROCKS IN PANTHER HOLLOW, OF SLANTING SILVER BARS OF APRIL RAIN, AS W E HAVE UPON BOOKS, AND LECTURES, AND FRATERNITIES. OUR COVER PORTRAYS THE SPIRIT OF ACHIEVEMENT THAT HAS MOULDED THIS UNIVERSITY ITS UP-TURNING BUTTRESSES LEND A SENSE OF DIGNITY AND SINCERITY AND PURPOSE. CRAYON SKETCHES DESCRIBE CAMPUS SCENES—MANY OF THEM FAMILIAR, CHERISHED BY THOSE WHO TRULY SEE THEM, BUT ALL T(X) OFTEN UNSEEN. THROUGH THESE SKETCHES AND THE INSERT PAGES THAT RUN THROUGH THE BOOK WE HAVE ADDED COLOR, LIFE, VERVE, A JOY IN LIVING THAI’ IS BORN OF THE VERY VIGOR OF THEIR ART WORK. AND EVEN AS THE CHEMIST DISTILLS FROM THE BLACKNESS OF COAL TOE ESSENCE OF THE ROSE AND THE BLUE COLOR OF THE SKY, SO TOO WE HOPE THAT NEW ENCHANTMENTS AND NEW TRUTHS MAY COME THROUGH THIS VOLUME OF THE OWL-COME FROM TOE COMMONPLACE THINGS OF A CITY THAT IS BUILDED, NOT OF DREAMS, IT IS TRUE, BUT OF MOUNTAINS, AND OF RIVERS, AND OF STEEL. P I T T S B U RGH E SQU K P I T T S B U R G H E S Q U E Imagine a copy of an American college annual dropped on Mars and picked up by a young Martian. As he turns its pages what vision would he construct of an American University? What would he learn about the University of Pittsburgh from this copy of the 1930 Owl? Me would sec buildings and grounds, some of them of appealing beauty . . . He would see rows and rows of faces of persons manifestly young, attractive, healthy, well-groomed, happy, and more or less intelligent.... He would sec scores of groups of these young people, and would be assured of their passion for fellowship and association. . . . He would see thousands massed in the Stadium, to cheer the spectacle of a few engaged in combat . . . From cartoons and sketches he would glimpse something of the humor and joy of life on this planet.. .. The young Martian would doubtless rejoice in these things as we do. But, mirror as it is of student life and activity, the typical college annual would hardly reveal to the stranger the true purpose of a University, for the University exists mainly, of course, for a purely intellectual purpose. Its greatest effort and justification are to initiate each new generation into the thought and intellectual tradition of the race—its literature, its art, its science. Truly the pictures in the usual annual would not serve as a fitting introduction to the soul of the University—to its laborious quest towards a larger and better knowledge of the world; the insights gained through rigorous application and discipline; the masterful and creative use of the intellect, warmed and expanded by moral enlightenment. Such triumphs of the University cannot be revealed by the pictures in any book. . . . W e have tried, in the 1930 Owl, to reveal just a little more of the true message of the University to Mars than is usual in a year book of this type. Here in the “Pittsburghesque” section, in particular, we have striven to reveal not only the physical beauty of the campus, but the beauty of mind, the beauty of achievement, the beauty of social contact, and, too, we have attempted to embody the beautiful ideals which will be a part of our Cathedral of Learning. Here, we have mirrored the life at the University of Pittsburgh at its very best, as it is lived in the activities and associations of the campus. If the Martian can read from these pages Pitt life as we live it and feel it, then the Owl can hoot with happiness—his purpose has been accomplished. Pagr 9 3n jHemoriam E. P. MET OUR Mr. K. P. Mctour was born in Loricnt, Brittany, a province of France, in 1893. He attended the University of France where he received his B.A. and B.S. degrees. He went to the London Polytechnic School where he studied architecture and later practiced it for seven years. He received his M.A. degree in Philology at Ohio State University. .Metour has spent a great part of his time in teaching. He taught French and Spanish at Ohio State. He was an instructor of French for five years at the Naval Academy and for three and a half years at William’s College. From there lie came to the c) University of Pittsburgh where lie was studying for his Ph.D. degree, at the time of his death. He has written “In the Wake of the Green Banner’’ which has been published by Scribner’s, and the “Dancer and the Friar” published by Doran. Metour was a member of the American Association of Art. Most of his work is done in etching and several etchings are in the Library of Congress. Bight charcoal drawing done by Mr. Metour appear in the 1950 Owl Touched and influenced by the noise and distractions of a great city, TIIK UNIVERSITY can still offer the same opportunity for a life that is rich and full and complete as do the broad streets which lead to it. «� '!s! t,,'-TttTp' Shaded paths and slender trees lend a quiet beauty to THE UPPER HILLSIDE and bathe it in the light of peace and contentment. t'a f N Simple and unpretentious, its bright, windswept porch looking out over the campus, HKINZ HOUSK dominates the entrance to Alumni. P ff 7 Ivy-covered and mellowed by the passing of the years, THAW HALL has become enriched with a quiet, distinctive beauty. ■S TJCv.fr hi springtime, the distant snort of an engine in PANTHER HOLLOW seems strangely mixed with lazy, summer dreams .... € •agtso From the broad steps of Soldier's am! Sailor's memorial STATIC HALL merges its dusky-white with the colors of the evening sky. } midst strange bits of picturesque old Pittsburgh that cluster at its base, THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL stands, a mammoth tribute to the achievements of Medical Science. J.' The shouts of workmen and the clear ring of cold steel tell us that THE CATHEDRAL 1 have watched them for many days, and I have heeded their • example. Men may say that they are only things of wood and stone, but to me they arc a symbol of constancy. In grey days and in fair they stand for all the world to see. and from them I have learned always to be my true self. Fogs may come and cloud them, and night may come and swathe them in darkness, but they are always the same. Therefore shall I go and be constant also. I'nhappiness and misery, which are the fogs and darkness of life shall not make me untrue to myself, and in the soft summer winds of friendship and in the wintcrv blasts of dislike and distrust I shall be true to what is really me. One other lesson I have learned from them. The two up-pointing spires have taught me to look upward and outward. They do not regard the streets below, nor do they see the wrong that men do at their thresholds; their gaze is fixed on far horizons. In like manner shall I let pass unnoticed the smallness and pettiness of men, by dreaming of distant horizons. I shall walk swiftly and far, and I shall be gone long; but a time will come when I shall return, and in that time I shall have lived their lesson, and men shall regard me in honor and esteem. Then I shall tell them of your example, 0 spires, and all will be well. ADMINISTRATION A I) M INISTR A T I ) X HO A HI) OF TRUSTKKS It is the Board of Trustees which dreams of the things that arc to he for the University of Pittsburgh, then makes those dreams come true. They define the purpose of the University and set about carrying it out by dividing the University into schools with their prescribed curricula and program of studies. The Board is made up of three classes of Trustees, each class being in office for three years. A new class is elected each year. The Governor of Pennsylvania, the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, and the Chancellor of the University are members ex-officio.

You ask me to say, in a few words, what a college education ought to mean in your life or mine. Well, it was said of the fourth Earl Grey that “He lighted many fires in cold rooms.” In such a spirit, it seems to me, Earl Grey lived the meaning of a college education. -Sotss s- AD MIXISTRAT!OX W ILLIA M J A C () B II 0 L L A X I) chancellor emeritus of the university, graduated from Moravian College and Theology Seminary in 1867 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

But his duties arc more than this alone: he is financial supervisor of the Purchasing department, the Printing department and the Book store, and of the Cafeteria. He also supervises the work of the Department of Buildings and Grounds. His work is at the same time pleasant but exacting and arduous in its attention to detail. Y A I, T E R RO M E Walter Rome, Graduate Manager of Student Activities, assumed his duties at the beginning of the 1928-29 school year. Mr. Rome received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University in 1926. He was assistant registrar from 1926 to 1928, at which time he was appointed graduate manager to succeed John R. Johnston. The responsibility of his official position is two-fold. He is responsible to the Advisory Board for the financial soundness of the activities. With responsibility there must be of necessity some supervision, caused by the possibility of mismanagement to which inexperience and enthusiasm sometimes lead. It is the purpose of the Graduate Manager not to allow what supervision lie gives to take the direction of activities away from the students, because student activities exist for the student; it is his aim to give the students ample opportunity for initiative and self-expression. Mr. Rome also is associated with many important faculty committees of the University, as a member of the Point Seale Committee and Board of Management of V. M. C. A. ’ � « • 34 A D M I N I S T ! A T I O N W. DON HARRISON V. Don Harrison, Director of Athletics, received the degrees of A.B. and M.A. at the University of Akron. He taught there and at the University of Iowa for several years, and held staff positions on several newspapers before coming to Pitt in 1922 as instructor in English.

Mr. Harrison supervises the work of all athletic managers and apprentices, and docs the great bulk of the work in drawing up the yearly athletic schedules. Each and every phase of athletic activity comes under his constant supervision. GEORGE I. (ARSON (icorgc I. Carson, Alumni Secretary of the University, assumed his present office on November 1, 1928, succeeding Karl E. Davis, who resigned because of the pressure of outside duties. Mr. Car-son received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University in 1923 and immediately became Assistant Graduate Manager of Athletics and Assistant Secretary of the Alumni Association. During the war, Mr. Carson served with the 107th Field Artillery, 28th Division. Mr. Caron’s duties consist chiefly in keeping in constant contact with 15,000 Pitt alumni all over the world. He is Secretary to the Alumni Council; has charge of all alumni records; edits the alumni page in the Pitt W eekly; handles alumni finances; promotes alumni activity in other cities; helps place alumni upon graduation; and offers vocational guidance.

In addition to his duties as Dean, he is a prominent practising attorney in the city. The Law school here, under Dean Thompson’s supervision, was one of the pioneers in raising the level of entrance requirements so that all of its students must be college graduates before admission. About two hundred and fifty students comprise the Law School and the remarkable fact is that they are graduates of some forty Colleges and Universities. I) Ii . II E B E R I) . C U R T I S Tired of the movies and want to see some real stars? Just journey to Allegheny Observatory and see Dr. Curtis, who is professor of astronomy at Pitt and Director of the Allegheny Observatory in Northsidc, Pittsburgh. Since early in January. Dr. Curtis has been with the Swarthmorc expedition in Sumatra studying solar eclipses, which is one of his many special studies. He was also a member of this same expedition in 1926. Dr. Curtis, besides generally supervising the work at the Observatory, has done much for the advancement of astronomy by designing and making several instruments for the use of the Observatory. He was a member of the Lick Observatory staff for several years, during which time lie did nebular photography. For a while he was in charge of the I.ick Satelous Station at Santiago, Chile. Dr. Curtis received his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from the University of Michigan, and his doctor of philosophy degree from Pitt. E I) Y A R I) R A Y W E I I) L E I X Up through the ranks of student, fellow, senior fellow, assistant director, associate director, and director—this has been the story of Mr. Wcidlein’s rise to the position he now holds. Director of The Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. Before being appointed to his present position in Pittsburgh, Mr. Weidlein was connected with the Industrial Research Bureau at the University of Kansas, and later was Chemical Engineer of the War Industries Board. Mr. Weidlein has been a most enthusiastic supporter of Pitt athletics and other activities, being a member of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association, the University Club of Pittsburgh (of which he is now vice-president), the Pittsburgh Field Club, and the Faculty Club, of which he was president in 1923. For his experiments and research work Mr. Weidlein has been honored both at home and abroad, having been awarded membership in scientific organization in Great Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, besides several societies in the United States. Mr. Weidlein received both his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from the University of Kansas. I'ait A I) M INIS T R A T I O X DR. JAMES H. GREENE Dr. James II. Greene is in charge of The Research Bureau for Retail Training, one of the cooperative divisions of the University. I)r. Greene received his B.S. degree in 1908, his M.S. degree in 1914. and his Ph.D. degree in 1920 from the University of Illinois. Before coming to Pitt, Dr. Greene was director of Junior Extension Work at the University of Illinois and was Director of Personnel of Kaufmann’s Department Store, Pittsburgh. The function of the Bureau as stated by its founders is to apply the principles of psychology, economics, education, and sociology to the solution of retailing problems.” In performing this function it has three phases of activity: research, training, and service. The Pittsburgh member stores arc Boggs and Buhl, Frank and Seder, Joseph Horne Company, Jones Dry Goods Company, Kaufmann’s Department Stores, Inc., I.cwin-Xeiman Company, Meyer Jonasson and Company, Paulson Brothers, and The Rosenbaum Company. F II A X K W I L L I A M S II OC K L E Y Ask any student at Johnstown, Eric, or Union town what he thinks of the director of extension work of the University of Pittsburgh. For it is Mr. Shockley’s task as director of extension divisions and summer sessions to supervise activities at these three cities where Pitt has established Junior Colleges. Under his guidance the student body has grown to more than five hundred students in the three institutions at the present time. Mr. Shockley, who received his Bachelor of Arts degree at Indiana University, came to Pitt in 1925 from the University of Wisconsin, where he was director of extension work. Besides directing the extension colleges here, Mr. Shockley is in charge of university sessions held in Pittsburgh during the summer. I) R . V ! X (' E X T W . I. A X F E A R Dr. Vincent W. Lanfear, Director of the Downtown Division, received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Texas. Later, lie did graduate work at the University of Chicago, and finished his graduate work at Columbia University with a Doctor of Philosophy degree. He taught Economics at the University of Texas and at Columbia University and then was called to Vale University as Assistant Professor of Political Economy. From Vale, he came to the University of Pittsburgh as Professor of Finance, and in 1926 became Director of the Downtown Division of the University of Pittsburgh. When the Evening School of the University of Pittsburgh was first established in 1908, only a few business courses of a practical nature were offered. Liberal Arts courses, however, were soon added. In 1926, the demand for courses in various schools became so great that the curriculum was extended to include practically a complete undergraduate program. Courses arc now offered in The College, School of Business Administration, School of Education. School of Engineering and Mines, and the Graduate School. The Downtown Division, which now has a registration of over three thousand students, was created for the adult men and women who, because of full time employment, arc unable to attend Day Divisions of the University. The same educational opportunities are given them as are offered to the Day students; and entrance requirements, standards and credits awarded, arc the same as those in force elsewhere in the University. The students in the Downtown Division range in age from eighteen to seventy years, and numbered among these men and women arc physicians, lawyers, teachers, engineers, dentists, dietitians, trained nurses, etc. The large registration in the Downtown Division indicates that these mature, serious minded people realize that education is a continuous thing; that one will go backward as soon as one ceases to go forward. I'ogf 37 Pitt, they say, has no traditions. The old grads do not gather at smokers and tearfully recall the ivy-covered walls and the broad quadrangle of their Alma Mater, for her white brick halls perch cn a hillside. Pitt has no stone gateways and century old oaks, no placid river over which rowing crews skim in the Spring, no stately chapel with stained glass windows donated by millionaire alumni. But there are State windows. From the windows of the College office the boulevards wind their silver ribbons around the green of Schcnlcy Park. In the early Fall dusk the Mosque looms against the lights of East Liberty and the slender spire of the Baptist Church slips between the stars. A world of green always shows in the Library windows—under the bushes the lawns sweep up to Alumni, the Heinz House rambles along a green hill, and the trees slant long green fingers against a colorless sky. On rainy days the Fast windows arc pictures of half-forgotten things. The grey of Schcnlcy High, the brown of the bluff, and the red and blue tile roofs blur like the garden at home seen through tears. During the silent, after-supper hours the blackness of night turns the windows of the radio studio into mirrors, but along the Drive lamplights glow like orange moons Pitt, they say, has no traditions. She needs none, she has the State windows and her dreams about Frick Acres. ’dgf HALL OF FAME The Georce Wharton Pepper Prize T II E G E () R C. E Y H A R T () X P E P P E R P R I Z E The George Wharton Pepper Prize represents the highest honor in the power of the Student Body to give to one of its members. It is a prize of Sioo given annually by United States Senator George Wharton Pepper to the student who most nearly represents the type of student the University of Pittsburgh aims to produce. The prize recipient is chosen by a committee composed of one member from each class of each school. This committee is bound only by the qualification that the student selected must embody the ideals for which the University, in the opinion of the committee, is striving. This simply means, as it should, that scholastic record, leadership in campus activities, and personality must always be the governing conditions for selection.

All the trees were bare; their branches veined the sky like a myriad of black ink strokes drawn by a palsied hand. On the ground the leaves were spread thickly, so thickly that when 1 walked they flowed around my ankles like muddy water; and then crackled a dreary little song “Winter is here, winter is here.” Only the oaks were not bare. Stately and huge they were; and they swayed in the wind like Gargantuan lords and ladies who walked a minuet to the winds piping. Occasionally one of the dancers would drop a handkerchief, and a leaf would drift down to join the others, or float on the lake for a while, and then sink. I wondered how it could sink, for the lake was not a lake that day, it was a pool of liquid lead that someone had ruffled with a feather But the sky was not grev that day. It was gold and crimson, and the clouds were purple. They were princes, and clowns, and puffy fat animals, and they fled away in a gavly colored procession, like a circus parade. I watched them for a long while, and the sun watched them too, but he was slipping into bed all the while. Afterwards there was no more circus parade, only a lot of grey phantoms. By and by the stars came out. They winked at me as I stood in the dark cold valley; and even now I am not sure that I did not wink back at them before I came away. Pat' 62 IN THE PANTHER’S DEN S I I) 10 w A L K S () F T H E UNIX’ E R 8 I T V () F P I T T S B U R G II Havey Boyle I am asked to write something for The Owl. While I should have better sense than risking dullness by giving in to the “preacher instinct, 1 should like to say this, particularly to college undergraduates: You are going through what must seem to you to be a lot of hard work. Perhaps it is. I never went to any college. But I’d like to say I envy you. There's a lot of things I don’t know, about which I am extremely curious. I’d be a pest to the professors. I’d ask them about everything they ever studied or experienced and I’d get them to tell the books they like best on multitudinous subjects. I wouldn’t retain one-fourth of it. but I’d have a lot of fun. If my economic position now would allow me to go to college I'd go. I don’t mean I’d go with the aim to improve myself. I’d go just for a pastime. At 34, with no formal schooling, I look upon education as a great adventure. My contact with college men has shown me this: An intelligent man with a college education is sharper than an intelligent man without a college education. An unintelligent man, it seems to me, remains that way, college or no college. But enough of the humorous and now for the serious: I firmly believe parents do not send enough money to students. 1 prefer the student who has a hat to the one with nice hair. I don’t like students who think a football defeat has all but ruined the honor of alma mater. 3e QS $ I N T HE I� A N T HER’S D E N Rushing to Smokers and Teas x SC 1‘af.t 7 IN TIIE PAN I II HR’S DKN Found—On The Campus £ 4 f An 4 Work is Play— Sometimes IN THE PANTHER’S Kl p‘i' -1 3 The Cathedral Shoots Up The organization of the Republican party in Pittsburgh, 1855, though of importance in itself,]', occurred nevertheless, at a time when the Universityv had already found its place in the hearts and affections of the people.

Together they make up the Trinity which houses the young foundling organizations as well as providing offices for those of long establishment and recognized prestige. It, the Trinity, acts as a safety valve for student emotions and prevents student complexes from stifled self-expression. “ Bleak 1 louse, alias House No. I, Frick Acres, is the patrician of the three, for it is made of real brick and houses the Literati and the Intelligentsia, its chief characteristic is numerous unlit fireplaces whose main function, it seems, is to inspire the respective staffs of the Owl, the Weekly, and the Panther. The simplicity and lack of decorative design is general throughout the building with the notable exception of the Panther office. The Y Hut, on Dc Sota Street, is a relic of wartimes, but its usefulness is not yet outlived. It serves primarily as a meeting place for men, but it occasionally becomes frivolous during the annual rehearsals of the Cap and Gown Club. A new Hut will be built at the outset of the next war, but if the Cathedral should be finished before that time, the present structure will be preserved as a memorial to something or other. Heinz House, the Cottage on the Hill. is concerned with a variety of things and proves that women have a yen for organization, if that need proof. A day’s schedule may contain anything from Chapel services to a Tea Dance, or from tea for four or five women to a dinner for several hundred. Panhellenic, W. S. ( . A.. Y. V. C. A., and the Women’s Glee Club are organizations intimately connected with the daily life of Heinz House. More than the other members of the Trinity, Heinz House represents the variety and multiplicity of student interests. PUBLICATIONS T H E 1 9 3 0 OWL Wc have worked long and diligently on the three hundred and eighty pages of this book. Sometimes, amidst the staccato plack, plack of Remingtons and the shouts over galley-proof, wc have wondered whether all this is quite worth-while. Ours has been, always, the problem of expressing Pitt, not in terms of student spirit and activities alone, but of delineating the best that our University can give to the groups of students which form it. And because we have had that ideal ours has not, wc trust, been a hopeless task. It is easy to describe the rumble of coal-trucks up University drive, the clang of cold steel in the mills, near-by riveting, klaxons, squealing brakes. It would be easy to tell about the smoke that crawls in long, undulating tassels about us, and throws little granules of soot on our noses. Rut we have tried to do more than that, more than portray the commonplace things in the student life about us. We have tried to tell, as well, of dusk that sharpens into twilight and twilight that gives place to a sudden, complete darkness; of long, cool spires that stand up into the sky; of the park with its fringe of trees that the sun cuts into scallops of green; of a student body that sees these things but cannot interpret them in terms of dreams and ideas. Wc have attempted all this. Wc may only hope that in some small measure wc have succeeded. Hahmikk UPPER EDITORIAL Bihhoc Si role Goldkkko Kiok� Pa '6 5 EDITORIAL STAFF Top Ho r -WiLKOrr.

Just as 1 was beginning to wonder what to do, someone called from the steps, and I glanced up. Peg motioned for me to come up, but she came down; and we chatted of this and that for a while. A little white cloud came floating up over the tree tops just as Peg left, and I watched it llirt and sway until a yellow roadster stopped at the corner. Its driver opened the rumble, fussed in it for a while, and then strolled up the street swinging his brief case. He had such a funny walk! And that bevy of girls that cascaded along and made him step into the gutter! Their little high heels beat out a brisk staccato, like a telegrapher’s lever, until a car of very old fashioned make drowned out all other sounds with its coughing. I don’t know how it ever climbed the hill, but it did, and for a long time after its passing little red berries dropped from the barberry bushes and settled with a soft plop on the cement walk. So engrossed was 1 watching their descent that 1 never knew she had come up behind me, until warm soft hands slipped over my eyes, and I just faintly caught the perfume that dwelt in her coat collar.

Amos Mr. Walter J. Rome « Page £ Student Council of the University of Pittsburgh serves as the executive authority of the student body by directing student life and activities. During the past year Student Council has worked under a new constitution, which has been generally recognized as much more efficient and definite than any previous constitution of the governing body. The present constitution clearly states the privileges of Council members regarding their eligibility to other offices, and it also stabalizes election methods. The Council is composed of sixteen members divided equally between the Junior and Senior classes. At least two members of Council must be women students. All students who present a petition with twenty-five signatures and the approval of the Dean of Men affixed to it are considered as nominees for election to Council. Officers of the Council arc elected internally immediately after the general election, which is held in the Spring of the year. 'Flic Student Council is the supervisor of all non-athlctic student activities. 'Flic work of the Council is done chiefly through committees of which the Student Relations Committee is the most important. This committee regulates the school social affairs and is the most direct point of contact between the students and the governing body. Other permanent committees arc the Assembly committee, which directs all school assembly programs, the school elections committee, which conducts all school elections, and the Committee on Vocational Guidance, a subsidiary of the Student Relations Committee. 'I he Student Council also has charge of the organization of new student activities, and decisions as to activity finances arc subject to its approval. s as s- Y () M E N ’ S S E L F - (J () V E II X M E X T A S S 0 C I A T I O X In 1895 women were first admitted to the University, but not until 1912 were there enough co-eds to warrant the establishment of women's activities or to form a governing body. However, in 1912 a meeting of all Pitt women was held with the result that a Girl’s Executive committee, composed of one member of each class of the School of Education and the College, was created. Though its existence was for one year only, it was so successful that Dr. Elizabeth Martin, then medical advisor to the women, was instrumental in the formation of another organization, the Women’s Activities Association. The Association assisted in the organization of dramatic and glee clubs, and sponsored several co-ed social events. The present association, V. S. G. A., traces its history back to March 1920, when the women of Pitt were given permission by the University authorities to form their own governing body. In the fall of 1919, Thyrsa V. Amos had come to the University as Dean of Women. Upon her suggestion, a Pitt girl had been sent to the Inter-Collegiate Student Conference at Wilson College. In the following year W. S. G. A. was founded. One of the important tasks undertaken this year by W. S. G. A. is the recording of all the activities in which the organizatin is active, all correspondence received by the chairmen of the various committees, and all events sponsored by the entire organization. At the end of the year the accumulated material is to be bound into a permanent volume that will form the standing record of all W. S. G. A. activities on the campus. X?

The chief motive of Interfraternity Council is to foster a cleaner and better relationship between the respective fraternities, between the fraternities and other organizations on the campus, and between the fraternities and the administration of the University. During the last year. Council, with the assistance of the Fraternity Committee of the University, was successful in passing a measure whereby the system of deferred rushing went into effect this past mid-semester. The essential features of this new system include second semester pledging of freshmen, a close restriction on the number of rushing affairs given by the fraternities, and finally a system of preferential bidding, by which the names of the desired men arc turned in at the office of the dean of men, and the rushccs arc then interviewed as to their respective choices. Serving as a social and athletic medium. Council sponsors every year many events that draw the interest of the entire student body. The Interfraternity Ball, one of the outstanding social events of the social calendar, is held in early winter, and in addition, the traditional Interfraternity Smoker is held to foster a closer relationship between the Greeks on the campus. In an athletic manner, the Interfraternity Basketball competition, consisting of the teams of the fraternities in the council, attracts a great deal of attention, in that the winner is presented with a silver loving cup. In the spring of the year, the Interfraternity sweep-stakes are held as a part of Pitt Week and later on the Interfraternitv track meet, capping the climax of a well rounded program of events.

There arc seventeen women’s fraternities enrolled in local Pan-Hellenic. One member is a local organization, sixteen national, of which number thirteen are members of the National Pan-Hellenic Congress.

It is this body which is partially responsible for the pep and enthusiasm which is evident at assemblies and football games. Last year the Band went off campus to welcome Pitt’s champion football team upon its return from Pasadena. This organization’s duties continue throughout the year, making its final appearance at the June commencement. At present seventy men take part in this activity, but the ultimate goal is to increase the number until one hundred participate. Competition for appointment is keen, since the members arc selected from a large number of candidates. Perhaps one of the most regal and striking looking bodies on campus, the Band can be seen marching in perfect formation wearing the University’s colors, blue and gold. As a part of its program, the Band gives an annual concert at the Carnegie Lecture Hall in April. The organization is under a student manager, assistant manager, and apprentice managers all of whom arc chosen by a committee composed of the graduate manager of student activities, the faculty adviser, and the retiring manager.

The Orchestra made its initial appearance on the campus when it played at the Yule-tide Festival in the winter of 1927. The Orchestra is now composed of about thirty members, but this number will be increased in the near future, as it is apparent that there is a very definite need for an organization of this character to supplement the activity of the Band and other musical clubs.

MEN’S GLEE CLUB The Men’s Glee Club is the oldest non-athlctic activity on the campus, and has always enjoyed a large measure of success. Until 1927, when it became an independent organization under its present name, it was a part of the Combined Musical Clubs, composed of the (lice Club and the Ensemble. In the fall of that year, however, it combined with the Dental Chorus into the present group of fifty members. The club has participated in radio programs upon several occasions and has given a large number of concerts in churches, schools, and theatres throughout Western Pennsylvania. On these occasions a skillfully blended selection of classical, sacred, and popular numbers is given under the direction of Dr. W. II. W right. Pate 106 I M U S I C A 1.

They looked so happy in their black and white suits or bright filmy gowns. I was sure that they were having a good time, although I had never been to a formal dance, and did not know anything about them. But how could anyone help having a good time? I always stayed as long as possible and watched, but in the end 1 had to go. That was the hard part, leaving. As long as I was there 1 could imagine that I too was about to enter the ball room, but when I went away my imagination failed, and 1 felt badly for the rest of the evening. But that is all over now.

Ross Gorman and his orchestra furnished the music, and entertainment by several vaudeville and stage performers, including Teddy Joyce and Be be Falvo, proved one of the features of the dance. A spirit of futuristic art was carried out in the decorations as well as in the design of the program. Vari-colorcd lights focused on the walls and pillars of the ballroom further enhanced the decorative effect. From an oddly shaped box used as a grab bag, favors such as jewel boxes, dorcens and other novelties were distributed. THE COMMITTEE James Lindsay.

As the Interfraternity Ball was the only social event on the Council’s Calendar, all efforts were concentrated to make it a big success. The ballroom was decorated by the Pitt Players Technical Staff to resemble a snowstorm and was named “Eskimo Land.” Each fraternity had its individual igloo.

Strangers unknown to university halls seek out their golden aura when depressed of spirit and seemingly remote from achievement. In their silent companionship there is a pleasant illusion. They are like luminous spirits of philosophers whose works lie in unfathomable tomes and whose shades stir at night behind the yellow windows of the College. And this trespasser on the campus, for one, always sneaks gleefully away with a happy feeling of having stolen a bit of their greatness while those watchdogs of erudition, the professors, were snoozing. —Charles Danvkr Pa%f uo ■3 TCv fr Top four—StEWAIIT.

The Association desired to provide the members of its school with some means of expressing their social interests, and to promote the well-being of the students as a group within the University. In 1925, by an assessment made on each member of the Association, an active fund was formed. Following this plan in succeeding years, the organization found that such a fund made possible the social events which it now holds for its members. During the first semester of this year, in the Association’s extensive program of social functions, the outstanding events were two informal dances; one held at the Schcnlcy ballroom in October, and the annual Christmas dance. In the second semester, these successes were repeated with informals given in March and in May. Top Won-—Dent, Taylor, Pattkmox, Mr. Hklo. Goldukim. Bottom Bov—Wood. Sawder . Waonkh. Drachmas'.

By means of a membership drive, the Association has greatly increased the extent of its membership. The Association follows a definite program of social events, planning two informal gatherings and one formal dance each semester. The first semester’s formal was held in the holiday spirit of Thanksgiving Kvc. In the second semester, a boat ride was given as well as the St. Patrick’s Day formal. The Association was organized with a two-fold purpose in view. It hopes that a greater unity of ideas and increased progress may be attained. It fosters the general welfare of the students, as well as furthering their social interests. In addition to these social interests, the Association has established a Student Loan Fund, drawn from the surplus of the organization’s funds of the preceding year. Any junior or senior in the College may receive aid from the fund. A. Top Hov—Scluvan. Uvtox, McConxbu, Gmmm. Bamiokb, Cmakuchwohtii. Baker. Bottom Horn Kai.viihidok. Walton. Crandall. Kihmch.

The organization, under the advisorship of Dr. Hugh Thompson Kerr, pastor of the Shadysidc Presbyterian Church, aims to acquaint students with the various mission fields and their needs, and to promote interest in Christian work. 'Flic club originated as a result of the first Student Volunteer Conference at Kansas City, from which a group of Pitt students returned with the enthusiastic desire to create a non-sectarian religious club on the campus. Dr. Klizabeth Martin, who was at that time dean of women, requested Dr. Kerr to teach and advise the small group of students who had professed interest in the religious field. The organization was named in honor of the services of Horace Tracy Pitkin, an American missionary, who lost his life in the Boxer uprising in 1900 in China. Campus problems and remedies, missionary work, the Bible, and current political interests have formed the basis of study in past years. This year the club is investigating problems of Christian life which arc applicable to campus life, namely, prohibition, the observance of Sabbath, and like questions. The group meets every Friday noon at the Shadysidc Presbyterian Church, and after luncheon the meeting is opened for discussion. J‘agf iso Top Row— liurwnr-iciKii. Hath, Fhamr. Hkht. Ckawtohd, Conk .

A. has been an active student organization aiding University men in every possible way, promoting Christian fellowship, and training its members and others in lives of Christian service. To further this aim the yearly program includes the furnishing of student leaders at various community centers, the organization of discussion groups and deputation teams which conduct meetings on the campus and in city churches, the holding of social functions—chief among these arc the freshmen banquets and the annual basketball banquet in honor of the varsity team, the distribution of Freshmen Handbooks, and the operation of the “Y” Hut as a meeting place for men students. The executive secretary assisted by the Student Cabinet directs this program. Each spring the active members of the Association elect the officers who, with the committee chairmen appointed by the president, compose the Student Cabinet. The members of the Committee of Management represent the students, the faculty, the alumni, and the trustees of the University. A financial campaign was conducted in the fall, its goal S3.500. its director J. G. Quick, registrar. Cabinet retreats were held in the fall and spring. Seibert Lynch was one of two Pennsylvania representatives to the Middle Atlantic Field Council. Every year a Pitt delegation is sent to Eagles Mere, Pa., where the Council holds its summer conference. In 1928, Pitt, with twenty-three men and women, had the largest delegation. This year a Freshman Cabinet was formed to aid the Senior Cabinet and to assist the new students. 4R P gr '35 Jf Y O U X G W O M E X ’ S C II R I S T I A X ASSOC'I A T I O X THE CABINET Elizabeth Goedecke ........

A. has had for its aim “the broadening of the spiritual side of the college girls’ life. This aim is only realized by a carefully planned program for each year. The theme of this year’s program was Broadening Horizons” and took the form of a Y. Y. C. A. “Flight. Take Off. “Control Stick. Wings. and “Landing” teas were held in Heinz House at the beginning of the school year to introduce the purpose of the flight” to the women of the University. Other “flights took the form of dinners. Freshman co-ed welcome meetings, and the regular Monday luncheons where the different departments presented discussion programs. Religious, industrial, interracial, and world problems were discussed: a better appreciation of the liberal arts was fostered; freshmen questions were presented and answered; and a new element was introduced by the hostesses in an organized consideration of etiquette. A group of girls volunteered to do social service work at the Irene Kaufmann, Soho, and Kingsley Settlement Houses. The scope of their work ran from dressing dolls to teaching Bible classes. Other members interested themselves in Girl Reserves. At Christmas time the annual play, party for Soho Day Nursery Children, and Christmas caroling were sponsored by the Pitt Y. W. In addition to all the local activities the Y. W. maintained a secretary in South America. To support this organization the candy and milk stands in the different buildings were managed, and successful financial and membership drives were conducted. Top Rmr- W J. Prun, l n l. xrr. H.

Later in the same year the name of the organization was changed to the Kvening School Association of the School of Business Administration. In order to open the Association to all students taking work downtown in the various schools of the University, the name was changed to its present form in 1926. The chief objects of the Association are to encourage and engender good fellowship and high scholastic ideals among the students of the Downtown Division of the University, and to foster their social, educational, and commercial interests.

Highly interesting lectures and illustrated talks by prominent men and the sponsoring of social activities including an informal dance have rounded out the organization’s programs and insured the Club’s future success.

The Institute has contributed largely toward the remarkable progress that has taken place in the electrical field during the last four decades. This organization has established student chapters in the larger engineering schools of the country. The students in Electrical Engineering compose the membership of the local branch. They hold weekly meetings to hear and discuss talks presented by their members on engineering subjects. Once a month an evening meeting is held at which there is usually some well known engineer to speak to the members concerning problems and methods of the engineer today. The men are thus given an idea of what is to be expected of them when they have received their degree. The outstanding event each year is the annual banquet which is held near the close of the second semester. •ft1« IKtfAf Whitnbt. Bacon. Finklk. Souxt . P or. Parrimi. Hamilton. Pro . Munmi. Phillip .

There were held during the year fifty intercollegiate debates, fortv-onc abroad and nine at home, and twenty-five extension debates at local clubs and schools. The most important features of the year were the two February trips, on which one team composed of Roger S. Hamilton. David B. Buerger, and C. J. Phillips met twenty universities in Ohio, New York, New England, and Canada, debating Mt. Union, Ohio Northern, Obcrlin. Findlay, Western Reserve, Syracuse, Colgate, New York Teachers, Amherst, Boston University, Harvard. Boston College, New Hampshire, Maine. Bowdoin, C. C. N. Y., New York, Columbia, Ottawa, and Toronto. At the same time, a team composed of Harry A. Sherman. W. Niles Anderson, and Albert E. Leven, travelled to California, meeting Shurtlcff. Washington, Colorado, Denver, Utah, Pacific, California, Southern California, California at Ix� Angeles, Southwestern, Occidental. Redlands, Arizona Teachers, and Missouri. Home debates were held during the year with Penn State, Western Reserve, Wittenberg, California, Bethany, Boston University, Temple, Washington, and Carlcton, and the team travelled on short trips to meet Wayncsburg and Washington Jefferson. It is the purpose of the association to debate for its own sake, and not to score hits or win victories. Accordingly,it follows the policy of giving students instruction and practice in public speaking and offering interested audiences an opportunity to hear public questions fairly and adequately discussed, and not making of debating a major sport or a gladiatorial contest. The questions debated during the year were “Resolved, that modern advertising is more harmful than beneficial to society,” and “Resolved, that the jury system should be abolished.” Debating during the year was in charge of David B. Buerger. Manager, and Roger S. Hamilton. President. All work was done under the direction of Prof. W. M. Parrish and Mr. Richard Murphy of the department of public speaking.

Women, who, after tryouts, arc declared members of the squad, arc automatically enrolled in the Association. From this body arc selected the debaters who are to represent the university in intercollegiate and in extension debates. This year the squad engaged in six intercollegiate debates, namely: Penn State. Syracuse. West Virginia, Ohio Wesleyan, and two with Cincinnati, as well as twelve extension debates before civic organizations. The two questions which have been debated this year arc. “Resolved. That the American Jury System should be abolished.” and “Resolved, That Woman Suffrage has not proved a practical benefit.” After every formal debate or discussion within the Association, an open forum is held during which time the audience or fellow members arc permitted to question the debaters.

Four years later it was reorganized under the department of Public Speaking. In 1923 the coaching of the Players was undertaken by Mrs. L. I. MacQuccn, and in 1927 Mr. Walter B. Edmund-son was made coach and director, with Miss Jane Ellen Ball as assistant. To become a member of the Players one must demonstrate ability both in individual and group tryouts. There arc three groups of Players— freshman, reserve, and active. Advancement to the active group is based on a point scale system. The Players has its own technical staff, which aptly handles scenic effects in Players productions. In the 1928-29 season productions were given at Henry Clay Frick Teacher's Training School, the Byron School of Oratory, and the Y. M. and Y. W. H. A. In addition to their stage work, the Players enjoyed many social gatherings throughout the season. I’a 146 -sc as s- BUSINESS STAFF Robert H. Kleeb Manager F. J. Docktor .......

There is located the “den” of the Technical Staff, that invaluable adjunct to Pitt Players which designs, builds, and operates all the scenery for the Player’s productions. In addition to this, the Technical Staff provided scenic and lighting effects for nearly all of the dances held at the University this year, as well as at such special affairs as the Christmas Festival and the Freshman Fair.

The many other events of the Week will follow the ball in rapid succession: among those scheduled are many athletic events, including the Sweepstakes, the scooter race, and the W. A. A. buggy ride. A Senior breakfast has been arranged, as well as Senior luncheons, the Gridiron and the Dental School banquets. A varsity night has been provided along similar lines to that of last year, and the Chancellor will again hold a reception. The Week will close with the Commencement exercises, June 6th. Louis Y.

THE CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club, an organization for the development of interest in the Latin language, is the oldest club in the University. From its beginning in 1845 its activities have consisted in translating Latin plays and producing them. This custom has prevailed to the present, the last production being The Jetcel Pox, presented for the honorary languages’ fraternity, Sigma Kappa Phi. last year. Among the most interesting traditions of the club is the celebration of the Roman Saturnalia, a holiday period corresponding to our Christmas festivities. One of the newest projects is the entertaining of high school Latin students in order to foster a more spirited enthusiasm among them. Membership in The Classical Club is limited to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are interested in Latin and include it in their courses. Dr. Stinch-comb is the advisor.

I lie sky was a dome f grey over our heads as Marge and I hustled up the street. All the littie vendors of trophies and programs appealed in vain..for we were too busy keeping our footing to do much else; and the crowd surged around us like logs in a spring thaw, justling us and making the way much more difficult. At last the tall entry arch of the stadium reared up before us. and we marched boldly up the steps. However, we found there that our climb was only half finished, for our tickets were good at only one gate, and that was around on the other side of the bowl. A little disconcerted, we again took up our journey. But finally, puffing and blowing, we found our scats just as the whistle blew. Out onto the field dashed the teams: the ball soared in a long graceful arc: and the cheer leaders contorted themselves into a thousand grotesque forms. Then came the start, and for half an hour the breathless intensity of the game. At the half a chubby yell leader raced up and down the aisles distributing colored paper, and the candy sellers offered their wares. The cheer leaders then arranged themselves in a straight line, bellowed instruction, and then rose, their arms outstretched; the crowd rose and fell under the spell . Just after the last Play the band played the “Alma Mater”, and then Marge and walked out a little slowly and rather quiet and thoughtful; and know that I, at least, felt a strange thrilling in my breast 54 Analogies are always faulty—they tell too much or too little.

With only three vacant berths from last years team, and a wealth of material to draw from in the freshman team. Coach Sutherland aims to duplicate his unbeaten record of two years back. Setting up a record of six victories, two defeats and a scoreless tic with Nebraska last fall, the Pitt football team went through one of the best seasons on record. Starting off with a 20-0 triumph over Thiel, the Panther eleven gained steam and sent Bethany back with a 53 too defeat. West Virginia invaded the stadium with the best team in history and gained a 9 to 6 victory. In preparation for the Carnegie Tech game which went to a remarkable Tartan team, Sutherland’s men trimmed Allegheny 29 too. Syracuse and Wash-Jcff fell in succession by good margins. In the most thrilling battle of the season the Panthers held the powerful Nebraska team to a scoreless tie at Lincoln, Nebraska. Returning home, the Panthers handed Penn State their annual Turkey Day trimming. Mike Cctto, who was a unanimous choice for all-American tackle, was the outstanding Panther of the year. Joe Donchess, stellar Panther end, again received considerable all-American recognition. Toby l ansa and Josh Williams were two fleety backs hard to stop. 'Iom Parkinson had a good year at fullback.

Clifford Carlson opens the coming basketball season, next fall. Panther cage enthusiasts will witness the most spectacular group of floormen ever to grace the stadium court. With the return of four regulars and the full list of substitutes, the Pitt mentor is looking forward to an era of sustained victories. Me is anticipating another undefeated season, despite the fact that the Phantom Panthers will cope with a most impressive list of opponents. With the return of Charley Hyatt, for two years the leading scorer of the nation, and Eddie Baker, sensational guard and point-getter, along with Poison Paul Zehfuss and Lcs Cohen, Coach Carlson will have only the place of Captain Charles Wunderlich to fill when the season opens. The 1929 season ended with Pitt holding an impressive list of victories over outstanding teams of the Mast. The first three contests, played on foreign courts on a Western trip, were dropped by the Panthers by close margins, but the tour was climaxed by an overwhelming victory over Ohio State. In the interim of home games. Pitt took a number of other victories only to lose a close one to West Virginia. This first defeat on the home floor in two years was followed closely by the biggest rout of the season when the undefeated Army quintet took their first blemish at the hands of the Panthers. The Mountaineer victory over Pitt was avenged when the Panthers garnered a thrilling decision over the West Virginia five at Morgantown later in the season.

When the Panther track team of last year wound up the season in ninth place at the national intercollegiate track meet at Chicago, it marked the final performance of two stellar trackmen, Gibby Welch, versatile weight man, and Ken Wibccan, stellar sprinter. In this meet Gwynn took second in the hammer throw to qualify for the Olympics, Pickard copped third in the pole vault, and Welch took fifth in the discus. The Panthers started the season off with two relay meets. Pickard took second at the Ohio State relays. At the Penn relays the following week he again scored second, while Gwynn finished second in the hammer, Welch taking second in the discus. In the first dual meet the Panthers overwhelmed Carnegie Tech in to 23. So completely was the Plaid outclassed that they were able to take but one first place. Wibccan. Adams, Welch and Pickard starred, Welch garnering four firsts. Pickard set a new mark in the pole vault, soaring 13 feet i34 inches. Panther spikemen broke five West Virginia records at Morgantown in the second duel meet, winning by a 76 to 59 score. The West Virginia records broken were the marks of the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes set by Ken Wibccan, while Welch’s toss of the javelin for 1X2 feet 2 inches and Don Gwynn’s hammer throw exceeded all past performances. Coach Frank Shea’s undefeated Golden spikesters travelled to Penn State in the final duel meet of the season and received their first setback at the hands of the Lions, 80 to 55. Although the Panthers copped nine first places the Blue and White thinlics took advantage of seconds and thirds to score their triumph. Welch and Wibccan were the leading scorers, Gibby scoring 18 points while Ken was responsible for 15 tallies. Welch took the discus, shot and javelin, and placed second in the broad jump. Wibccan led the field in the 100 yard, 220 yard, and 440 yard dashes. Following the Big Four meet at the stadium in which Pitt finished a close second to West Virginia, Welch, Pickard, and Gwynn travelled to Cambridge and came through with third places for a total of eight points, placing tenth in the I.

Only two men, Captain Al Mango, back stroke artist, and Harry Robb, veteran distance man arc lost by graduation. Coach Corr can fill these two berths, but when Pete Bowen, versatile paddler. hung up his suit for the final time this season to concentrate on track, the services of Pitt’s flashiest swimmer were lost. Copping five out of seven intercollegiate matches and winning three of their four outside meets at the P. A. A. and Xataiorium tanks, the Panther swimmers concluded a successful campaign. Defeats were suffered only at the hands of Army and Navy on a short F.astcrn trip. Decisive triumphs were scored over Allegheny, Carnegie Tech, twice, and Wash-Jeff, twice. One of the outstanding performances of the past season was the record breaking feat of Fred Wooldridge. Wooldridge lowered the only tank mark of the year when he established the time of 2 minutes, 33 1-5 seconds in the 220 yard free style swim. Captain Al Mango closed a brilliant career in the pool for the Panthers. He finished the season with a clean slate, not being beaten in an intercollegiate contest in his four years of swimming at Pitt. THK SKA SON a TKNNIS SQUAD Top Ho it- Coach Stbi-hkxh. Coiikn. Fa km.

In spite of the loss of Captain John O’Laughlin.

Although the record of the past year’s schedule shows five defeats, seven wins and four unplayed matches, the season cannot be called unsuccessful when it is recalled that only teams of the first rank, including Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmorc. Georgetown and the Navy came through victors in these tilts. Handicapped by the necessity of using first year courts in the stadium. Coach Stephen’s boys went through a good season. Captain John O’Laughlin and Byron Baur. flashes of the past season, played brilliant games and were responsible for the showing of the squad. After a win as an opener, a loss to Notre Dame and another win from the Tartan, the Panthers fell into a four straight slump, that was only broken by a 5-1 victory over Juniata. Then followed in rapid succession, three wins over Westminster, Penn State, and Westminster again to close the season. THE SEASON Pitt . Rain Wash-JefT . ...

Led by Captain Alberts, the Panther hill and dale outfit will have in its ranks Gus Moore, sensational negro distance man, Caesar, Jerpe,Gaines, Wherry, and Phillips. Moore is undoubtedly one of the best distance men ever to represent Pitt on the cinder-path. Following on the heels of last year's mediocre team. Coach Shea’s cross country men failed to win a single meet during the past season. The history of Pitt's cross country teams had been one of victories until two years ago when the material for the squad was drawn from a rather mediocre freshman team. In that year the pathpounders emerged victorious in only one meet, the one with Carnegie Tech. Failure of six veteran lettermen to turn out for the team this past season was the chief cause for the team’s poor showing. The opening of the season saw Gus Moore, freshman flash. Captain Herbert Hoffman, Phillips, outside of the ranks. Gaines, a veteran spiker, was declared ineligible. With the nucleus of Caesar, Grossett, Alberts, and Jerpe, Coach Shea had his hands full developing a representative team. The Panther runners started off the season in good fashion, losing to Allegheny by a one point margin. The following Saturday, Carnegie Tech came through to beat the Pitt team by the same score. Over a very difficult course at Syracuse, Coach Shea’s boys were walloped by a perfect score. Penn State trimmed the wearers of the Blue and Gold by one point from a perfect score in the final meet of the season. Considering that Penn State and Syracuse every year arc out fighting for the intercollegiate championship these four defeats were by no means disgraces.

II I F I, E T E A M The best team in the history of Pitt rifle competition is expected for the coming year, when the largest number of candidates ever to try out arc expected to answer Coach iIson's call for sharpshooters. Since the inauguration of intercollegiate rifle matches at the university in 1921. interest has increased by leaps and bounds and now the Panther riflers arc planning for a new range to accommodate the candidates. Pitt riflers have been somewhat handicapped by the small range in the Logan Armory at Maird and Thackery streets, secured through the Military Department. With the prospect of a new range facing them next year’s team promises to surpass the record of any previous Panther rifle team. During the past season, the Pitt marksmen felt the loss of two of the best shots of last year's team in Bill Horner and Kenneth Hindcrcr. Practically all of the men on this year's team were new men without much previous training in rifle shooting and Coach Wilson had difficulty moulding a strong team. Despite the poor firing conditions, the Panther riflers rang up seven victories, tied one, and lost six matches in fourteen encounters. Victories over Columbia, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Polytcchnical Institute, Mississippi, Western Maryland, Gettysburg, and Vermont were the highlights of a mediocre season. The crowning event of the season was a shoulder to shoulder match at the Carnegie Tech range with Pitt, Penn State. West Virginia, and Carnegie Tech competing. Coach Wilson who replaced Lieutenant McCarthy during the past season had the following men available: Millis. McKinney. Whitney, Diver, Fronk, McDowell, llempel. Stauffer. Atkinson, and Starret.

Miss Margaret A. McClcnahan. professor of women’s physical education, was instrumental in doing away with the last trace of intercollegiate competition for Pitt girls when the Pitt girls basketball team played its last game in 1926. Since that time an extensive intcrmural and class athletic program has been built up by the Women’s athletic department. Its main agency, the Women’s Athletic Association, promotes higher physical efficiency among university women. By its policy of inter-class competition more co-eds have an opportunity to participate in all sports. Under the enthusiastic endeavors of Miss McClcnahan. and Ethel James, both former members of the varsity basketball team, a women’s athletic council was organized in 1919. Two years later the council joined the National Women’s Athletic Association. During the past year, W. A. A. encouraged volleyball, tennis, basketball, swimming, hockey, dancing, baseball, hiking, golf and archery. For those not especially interested in sports W. A. A. offers a social program which includes the traditional Co-Ed Prom, the Buggy Ride, Cabaret, and various mixer dances. Recognition for service and participation in sports is awarded to W. A. A. members through a point scale system, and various insignias. To the W. A. A. member who achieves the highest number of points at the end of her senior year a W. A. A. blazer is awarded. The W. A. A. pin award is given to all other members who tally the necessary 300 points. Members of the all-Pitt teams of the various sports arc awarded insignae at the end of each sport season. 4R 64 Sfr- ATMLETICS F R E S II M A N S P () R T S Freshman athletics took the limelight during the past season, with undefeated teams in both football and basketball. Although their varsity brothers failed to sustain the records of the teams of the previous year, the frosh squads came through to uphold Pitt’s reputation for undefeated records. From a list of some fifty odd candidates. Coach George kowallis selected a freshman basketball five which failed to find its equal during the entire season. With the two younger Kowallis brothers. Stephen and William, along with Al Wroblcski, all younger brothers of former Panther basketball stars, the frosh mentor composed a quintet which was reputed to be one of the best in history. Kdward Mirschberg paired with William Kowallis at guard and formed a defense which held opponent scores to a minimum. Jaffc and Lytle proved to be valuable substitutes at guard. Although three men possessed excellent abilities at center. Brown managed to occupy the pivot berth for the greater part of the season, with Miller and Kalb substituting. Lawry, Lustab and Thiele showed their worth as they substituted for S. Kowallis and Wroblcski. forwards. Named the best club in its class, the frosh gridders pulled through an unbeaten season last year, winning three and ticing two in their five game schedule. Kicking off with a 6-0 victory over the Mountaineer yearlings, the Panther cubs went through two more straight wins over the Carnegie plebcs and the Kiski varsity, and then settled down to knot two with the Lion cubs and the Vice-President . Coaches Wissingcr and Gouglcr led the frosh through one of the best freshmen schedules in years. After beating the highly touted Kiski varsity, the team that had taken over the Western Reserves, the Navy Plebcs, the Mountaineer Frosh. and the Carnegie Yearlings, the Frosh met the Vice-President who upset the dope to hold them to a scoreless tic. On the team were several outstanding men who look good for the varsity next fall. Dapper Dan Daugherty, the half who is being turned into a roving center, big Jim Mc.Murdo, tackle; Jimmy Clark, full; Johnson, half; Murphy, quarter; Kelly, half; Tamins, end; R. Morris, guard, and E. Morris, center will bid for varsity jobs.

At the present time Zeta Tau Alpha numbers sixtv-thrcc chapters with a combined membership of over five thousand. The C. I. Q. Club of the University of Pittsburgh became the Chi chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha on November 15, 1915. Each year the lienor ring is awarded to the junior or senior girl who is considered the most outstanding in scholarship, activities, and service to her chapter. Bucky yawned a big yawn as he slouched into the room about 12:30 p.m. “Where arc those pledges? 1 left a note for them to wake meat 8:30.” Eddy was curled up in the window scat, trying to study history, but the soft spring winds kept blowing in through the windows, and he napped more than he studied. “Huh. Don’t know. Ask Hilda.” he mumbled. Bucky slouched out and only the clock’s ticking broke the silence of the room. However, after a while, more of the fellows drifted in. Bill had just come down from a session of oil and gas, and insisted that he had to bathe to get the darn thing out of his system. But after he had undressed somebody started a game of bridge, and he sat down to play. Jack just drifted down to the piano,—“You’re in Avalon Town, “ Blue Grass,” “ If You Like This,” “Even Though You’re Heart Is Breaking,” “You’re The Cream in My Coffee.” Then he got his squeeze organ, and the fellows cut loose. Big Wee Willy grabbed Johnny, and off they whirled out into the diningroom, into the hall, and back into the living-room. “Pretty hot, isn’t it?” About four o'clock the bunch broke up. Some went upstairs to play bridge, without being interrupted, several took their books and settled down to study; some wrote letters; some went up to the dorm and slept; some even went to classes. The dinner gong brought them together again. Hilda got the customary compliments, and Mike the usual lecture on the danger of over-eating. After dinner, more bridge and then studies, and so to bed.

The result was the organization of the honor students present into an association which took the name of Pi Tau Phi.

Shepard Harry Midgely D. C. SlSTERTON Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity was founded in 1904 in New York University and organized at Pitt in 1912. It was the first professional commercial fraternity and the first national fraternity to admit students of evening college classes to active membership. Membership in Alpha Kappa Psi has always been limited to bona-fide candidates working for a degree in Business Administration, regardless of whether or not such candidate is enrolled in day or evening courses. The ideals of the fraternity aside from the development of fraternal relations arc to foster scientific research in the fields of commerce, accounts and finance; to educate the public to appreciate and demand higher ideals therein; and to promote and advance in American institutions of learning, courses leading to degrees in commercial sciences.

On December 3. 1920, the Odons Club, an organization of Jewish students in the Dental School of the University of Pittsburgh, was granted a charter and is now the Omicron chapter of Alpha Omega. Since that time, Omicron Chapter has experienced a rapid growth and today is one of the most active chapters of the fraternity. This year, the annual Alpha Omega Convention was held in Boston.

Simonson Gregory Cage jSj m: chaffer Psi Omega, national professional dental fraternity for the advancement of interest in the dental profession was organized at Baltimore, Maryland, May 12, 1892. Xu, the local chapter was founded in 1897 and went national in the same year. With its headquarters in Pittsburgh, the most interesting plan of the year is the adoption of a system whereby all chapters will own their own homes in a few years. On the faculty of the dental school arc forty-one members of the chapter. The University of Pittsburgh has recently constituted resident centers for college work at Johnstown, Uniontown, and Kric. The work has passed through different stages of development in each center, but all of them started with late afternoon and evening classes offered particularly for teachers. Later, summer sessions were added, and finally Junior colleges established. The University is a pioneer in establishing Junior colleges as integral parts of itself. The purpose of the entire enterprise has been to bring a college education within the reach of thousands of young people anxious and well-qualified to continue their education, but unable to make the expenditures necessary to receiving such an education away from home. Throughout the establishment of these centers, the University has been guided by the realization that it is, after all, a service enterprise, responsive to the needs and demands of an ever-changing social and economic world. This rapid growth and change in social conditions has been due largely to the increase in population. Thickly populated centers have grown up in Western Pennsylvania with no other educational facilities than high school can offer. The University has met the need of earnest men and women who realize the advantages and fruits of a college education. The Junior Colleges arc but the first step towards the fulfillment of this crying need, but their initial success speaks well for the future. Jonxmowx Hum School and Junior Coli.eoe J () II X S T () W X .1 U X I () R C () L L K (; E The Johnstown Junior college of the University of Pittsburgh was established in 1927, and opened with an enrollment of 142 students. It has grown rapidly since that time and its students now number nearly three hundred. The courses arc exactly similar to those on the local campus, and arc aimed to give equal educational opportunities to worthy groups in thickly populated districts in the Johnstown area. For the first semester 1928-29, there were 90 class sections for 43 courses in 17 subjects, all under the supervision and direction of duly qualified university teachers. The Junior College is located in the new administration and high school building of the city of Johnstown, a thoroughly modern building of beautiful design and in a strategic location. One wing of the building is allotcd to the Junior college, and it includes eight classrooms, four laboratories, two offices, and a girl's club-room. Several auditoriums, including a large one seating 1200. and a good-sized library, are available for the use of the students. This entire equipment operates under the direct supervision of Dr. F. C. Crawford, head of the Junior College, and Mr. F. Y. Shockley, head of the extension 3v 5 J () II N S T () W X S T U I) E X T B () D Y Paff tS6 JUNIOR COM. K G E S The founding of the Uniontown Junior College is a direct result of an educational survey made by the University in 1927-28 in southwestern Pennsylvania. At that time it was discovered that Fayette county, with a population well in excess of 200,000 had no college within its bounds. Plans were accordingly laid for the location of a Junior college in Uniontown, which is the center of trade and commerce of the county. With the hearty cooperation of the local authorities, plans were accordingly put through and the Uniontown Junior College opened in the fall of 1928 with an enrollment of 120 students. For this year, only Freshmen courses are being offered under the direction of ten full-time and six part-time teachers and administrators. Almost the entire sixth floor of the Citizens Trust building is used for classes. 'Fhe classrooms, eight in number, are modern and well-equipped. A chemistry laboratory, lecture room and stock room are located in the F.lla Peach Public school. A modern and excellently equipped zoology laboratory is also located there. In all. fourteen different courses are offered to the students, each of them of collegiate calibre comparable to that obtainable on the local campus. The Uniontown Junior College is under the personal direction of Dr. K. S. Tesh and of Mr. F. V. Shockley, Director of the Extension division of the University. Pagf 187 E R I E J U X I 0 R (’ O L L E G E The Eric Junior College is located on the eighth floor of the Eric Trust building where six classrooms with a total capacity of 160 arc located. In addition, there arc two well-equipped laboratories for chemistry and zoology, and an excellent library. Eleven full-time and four part-time teachers arc employed and offer thirteen courses to the 51 students who are enrolled. The Junior College is under the direction of Mr. Shockley and of Dr. V. I).

K. Fnc«u SCHOO L () F I) K X T I S T R V 'Flic Pittsburgh Dental College came into existence, April 20. 1896, when its charter was granted to Drs. J. G. Templeton, H. W. Arthur, G. I- Simpson, Wm. H. Fundenberg, J. H. Heal, and S. L. McCurdy, who constituted the first board of trustees. At this time Allegheny County had a population of 700.000 and within a radius of sixty miles there were two million people. ’Flic City of Pittsburgh contained schools representing all other professions, but young men desiring to enter upon the study of dentistry had been compelled to go to Philadelphia or Baltimore. From its beginning, the Pittsburgh Dental College was affiliated with the Western University of Pennsylvania as its dental department. It was controlled by the original charter members until iunc, 1904, when control was transferred to Drs. C. R. Jones, J. S. Ashbrook, S. L. McCurdy and I. E. Friesell. In October, 1905, the department was transferred absolutely to the Western University of Pennsylvania. The College was located for six years at 711 Penn Avenue, when it was compelled, by its rapid growth, to move to Tenth and Penn Avenues. In 1905, continual growth forced it to move to Pride and Bluff Streets occupying this location along with the Pharmacy College. In 1912. what is now known as the Upper Dental Building was erected on the campus, but this was soon outgrown and the present infirmary was secured. With the present Junior Class, a new era in dental education at the University has been started, it being the first class to matriculate in the Five Year combined college and dental course, receiving the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery upon graduation.

In the older sections of the city are streets that seem endless and aimless: streets whose very narrowness affords protection against the sun and turns the shadows to a soft, cool lavender. Here the pulse beat of the West scents combined with the color and mystery of Old Spain. Time scents passing with slippered feet, passing with the creaking of the ox-carts and the silent, trudging Chinamen with their baskets of vegetables. White-washed and delicately tinted houses press to the last inch against the walk. They arc tiny, one-story houses with heavily grated windows, brightly colored tile floors, and large, open patios. Here and there a tiny pool, set in the center of a courtyard overgrown with exotic plants and colorful blossoms, captures a choice bit of the sky with all its blueness. Nearby, opcn-to-thc-strcct cafes, recking with the smell of garlic, yet seem to exude an air of suppressed emotion and of mystery. Each passageway, each half-open door, whispers it. It is as though we arc looking at the past through wispy cobwebs; as if the land of “make-believe has suddenly come true. In the distance, arc the Yacht club, the Jockey club, and the Casino, with its dome of silver-white. Down by the shore arc weaving, feathery palm trees, ivory-like jasmine, and on the bleached yellow sand of the beach, shy scorpions that curl up inside their barbed tails. But it is the seemingly forgotten streets that 1 prefer—streets that seem to be memories of Old Spain, and that remind one of the ancient Arab proverb: “The eyes have seen and the heart has loved.” {Continued on page 342.)

Of all the places for dreams the best is the old, slat hammock at our summer camp, down by the river's edge. On any night. I can sec. to my right, the willows that dip their branches into the murky waters of the Ohio as it slides in long, lazy ripples toward Lcgionville dam, eight miles away. The last rays of the sun tinge the oily waters with streaks of orange that mingle with the still, white reflection of the cliffs above. But soon the water quickens and just beyond it is streaked with frothing foam that creams the tips of the waves. As it rushes on. it becomes a seething, tumultous mass of muddy brown that hurls itself against the shore and recedes with a peculiar sucking sound . . But how different is the view on the other side. There, the deep black of factory buildings in the distance is cut against the sky. A tall stack, like a slender, graceful obelisk rears up into the sky. while about its base, shifting, purple shadows pile. Below it, the windows of the building arc like tiny blots of light that twinkle in the gathering dusk. The dull red glow of the furnaces can be seen even here— the red is colored with the tawny gold of molten steel—steel that sprays the scene with sparks and changes the smoke of the stack to copper. As I see these things, 1 can hear the sounds of a summer night—the faint swishing of the water, the dull, distant rumble of machinery in the plants, and even fainter than these, the distant bark of a dog, the low of a cow, or the far-off crowing of a sleepy rooster, all softened into a soothing murmur of sound. That is why I go to the old slat hammock to dream (See page 332 for beginning, and page 334 for end.)

Make Your Practice Pay Better Thousands of dentists find doing their own X-Ray work promotes systematic methods . . . accurate diagnoses... elimination of errors. THERE used to be more argument than now-regarding the value of a dentist doing his own X-Rav work. That was before Dr. Cool-idge (inventor of the Coolidgc tube) perfected the CDX. Now thousands of dentists have installed the Victor CDX. They are finding it increases their production by promoting systematic methods, by insuring accurate diagnoses, by eliminating a large proportion of errors. These dentists, since owning the Victor CDX, have improved month by month in their radiograph technique. Through constant and increasing use, they have educated themselves in this important phase of the profession. And this course of education has not been an expense but a profitable investment. Costs nothing to investigate You may think you “can’t afford to bother with X-Rays.” But that’s what hundreds of dentists have said. Then they looked into the matter more thoroughly. Now these operators cheerfully admit that owning a Victor CDX has made them better dentists ... has paid them dividends in cash and in prestige. It is so easy to own a Victor CDX.

PRO LOG UE Because life is like a drunken man on a horse—push him on one side and he topples over on the other because most of us wander through that life like pool balls, dropping into our destined pockets and rolling down the chute to do it all over again; because most of us don’t know what to do with it. and yet want another which shall be eternal; because we need a few men and women to whom the doidruin monotony of life is so ghastly that they are driven to frantic off-center shifts, merely to get through the long, long day; because we need a liberal sprinkling of eccentricity, which is no crime we have created this book. It is a book nurtured in the belief that we should deviate from the Republican norm of existence, from our mulish contemporary parade, substituting, as we go, the rarer qualities of the unique, the eccentric, the courageous. It was built because we do not like confirmed advocates of theTen Commandments, or believers in the Golden Rule, or followers of the principle of Laissez-faire; because we believe that instead of acting like six day bicycle riders wearily grinding out the day’s lappage, we should pedal to the very edge of the cosmic bowl and caper magnificently on one wheel while the race of men drone by. It is, in short, a book built to be different, an attempt to combat that feeling of monotony which so often engulfs us, to point out the delightful possibilities of life—a life which should be like a long white light, creeping from flame to flame, each meaning changing, no fire the same.

I 4 [U] The “Y” Hut alias ‘‘Activities Building” The “Y Hut. alias “Activities Hall,' located under the shadow of the giant stadium on Do Sot a Street, is the social center for all men students. Last year, the “Hut ” served primarily as a playhouse for men. and it l� ecame unusually frivolous during the annual rehearsals of the Cap and down Club. The fellows will never forget the old cafeteria that was there, the candy stand, and even old Besty—one of the relics of wartimes! But now. as the old order changes. “Activities Hall is quite a different place than the “Y” Hut. No more screechy chairs are there no more dusty, even muddy floors, hut there are many new chairs, and the floors seem almost waxed. In the new “Activities Hall are the offices of the dean of men and his assistants, the graduate manager of activities, the director of employment and housing for men. the secretary of the Pitt Y.M.C.A., the Pitt Weekly, the Panther, the Owl. and the headquarters of the various musical organizations. And in the center of the building is a large room with tables for study and lounging. Here the men are encouraged to get together and plan their work in campus activities, or to spend their leisure in social contact with fellow students. A true Pitt atmosphere is felt in the renovated Y“ Hut! 1121 o’ C. J. Phillip THE OWL J. L. Solomon Presenting “The Owl” Another year. Another Owl. An Owl that has consistently attempted to Ik different, not ordinary, unusual. A hook, this, moulded about the theatre—the drama its theme; the decorations of the theatre, its deeora-tions; the spirit of the theatre, its spirit. If, in any measure, no matter how small, how meagre, we have caught that spirit of the stage, the footlights, the tenseness of all that is connected with the drama, then we shall feel that this Owl has not l� een a failure to its purpose.

It is a prize of $100 given annually by I'nited States Senator George Wharton Pepper to the student who most nearly represents the type of student the I niversity of Pittsburgh aims to produce. The prize recipient is chosen by a committee composed by one member from each class of each school. This committee is bound only by the qualification that the student selected must embody the ideals for which the I niversity. in the opinion of the committee, is striving. This simply means, as it should, that scholastic record, leadership in campus activities, and personality must always be the governing conditions for selection.

The national fraternity has acquired 45 active chapters in its six years of existence, having been founded by the union of eleven local fraternities at a meeting held in Springfield. Missouri, in the summer of 1924. The aim is to foster fraternal-ism. scholarship, patriotism, and morality among college and university students of all creeds.

We talk about school spirit in the form of ideals and traditions and we wonder if it would not be | ossihlc for the student body to support the various University functions even more than they do at the present time. In this connection it should be remembered that such a spirit” must l e deeply impressed upon our Freshmen in order that it may l e lasting. It is therefore the duty of the upper-classmen to foster the true spirit” of our University and to conduct themselves in such a way that every new student will catch that “spirit and attach himself to the long line of Loyal Pittites. To attain this end it is necessary that we conscientiously carry out an extensive, friendly, socialized, integrative Freshman Customs plan as advocated by the Committee this year. Because, after all. it is friendship that binds student to student and student to University and not the spirit of compulsion involved in strict Freshman Regulations. Viers W. Adams Stricter entrance requirements and vocational guidance these arc my recommendations. The pass key to the University should be more than just a high-school diploma. I realize that there are evils in entrance examinations, but I am more convinced that our present system ol the wide open door has dangers that are even more pernicious. The University of Pittsburgh, unfortunately, is the obvious sufferer of a jiolicy of misunderstood democracy. Vocational guidance is my other recommendation. The main purpose of the University, we are told, is to fit us for life. For most of us. the abstraction “life” is reduced to the concrete word “job”. The University should, by some more effective program than is the case at present, strive to aid it� students in choosing vocations for life. Sylvia Berman I came to school. When school was over I went home. Went home as most of us go—on the street car. It took me three years to find out that my life at Pitt was related to the rest of me. or that Pitt could be concerned either with little towns or with the territory covered by the rambling “Seventy-seven.” And so. I appreciate the jieople at Pitt who. while they belong to Pitt, are in and of” the city of Pittsburgh. My definition of in and of requires some intelligence about the social situation in the Pittsburgh area, and at least some conscience about it. My constructive criticism for the University should Ik- that more and more of its people be in and of.” M ky Anne Johnston To present a definite criticism of the University is not the easiest thing todowhenene can find little to berate. I would rather level my fault finding eye on tiie students who make up the University. I do not believe that enough have learned what this thing called education ” is and why it has to lx esconced in elaborate buildings and cmlx-Uishcd with a faculty and administration. Bricks, even when they are held together with mortar, tell stories: and so do the sternest professors when they are given the opportunity. We neglect too much to develop intimate contacts with our instructors and learn from them in an informal way. We arc too little excised to an intimate “face to face” companionship with our professors who are also human. Our undergraduate friends have had greater effect on our lives than our more ex|wrienced teachers. Book knowledge is soon forgotten: knowledge from life lingers. Then, intimacy with the faculty will hasten the discarding of an old fallacy that we are here to escajx study and knowledge. The converse is true. Sydney W. Kigbs [242| Constructive contributions of real worth are generally ideas offered by minds of wide experiences and knowledge of the tried and untried. A suggestion in the field of improvements, from an unsophisticated undergraduate naturally holds meagre possibilities. However, since the occasion permits, may one add—the old stuff, that the love one has for one's school is dearer than the treasures of old the realization of this fact should be vital in the heart of every student. Let one give the victory cry for Yale!- for Harvard! mine is forever equally as strong for Pitt. Joseph Doxchess The most serious defect in the relationship between the University and the undergraduates is the lack of guidance of the students in their course of study. Too many students are taking courses for which they arc not fitted either by preparation or by temperament. There is a need for some agency within the University through which the individual student could be studied and advised as to those studies that would best equip him for his life's work. This year Student Council made a cursory investigation of the student body and decided that the University needs a Guidance Bureau. It now will Ik the duty of next year's Student Council to prove conclusively to the Administration of the University that the undergraduates need and desire the benefits that could be derived from such a Bureau. Endicott A. Batciif.i.der I sincerely l elieve that the activities on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh are well worth while, but the benefits derived from them are felt only by those who actively participate in them. To the large number of students not engaged in any extra curricular efforts I would suggest that they enter heartily into the work of advancing some organization: thus the organization will be broadened in scope and usefulness, and they will have received a personal benefit thereby. They will also find that they have caught that elusive quality called school spirit.” Emma Brown r—« The one thing, vital to the students of the I niversity. which is lacking is a Vocational Guidance Bureau. There is a decided need for such a department as is shown by the number of students enrolled in the Personnel department. Over 400 problem cases were taken care of by this department iuring the month of January. The University helps the student after he has gotten into difficulties. Why not avoid this situation, lighten the burden born by the Personnel heads by directing the student in the first place. Itefore he chooses a profession for which he is not suited. Herein lies a golden opportunity for the University officials to widen their constructive program for the betterment of the University and the student body. Bkrekiecr Greer My experience with student activities while at the University leads me to believe that the tendency of a few able leaders to gain control of most of the important branches is not an altogether healthy thing. In all probability a man of exceptional ability as these leaders arc for the most part, is not injured, but what about the activities? Is the level, the standard maintained, as high as though fewer duplications in personnel were the plan? Point Scale Committee has jurisdiction to some extent, but either they have been lax in administering the rules or else the rules are not stringent enough to give them the proper regulatory power. Every year they fail to act to any extent in most of the cases present. A study of this committee's actual functioning might bring out valuable suggestions. Ogden I). Gensheimer A forward movement in student government life at Pitt might be brought about by a closer coordination between all student activity leaders. At present a close relationship between leaders, both men and women, is not evident. Yes. we have a women’s ix ard and a senate composed of student representatives. But what we need is a more definite relationship between a men’s and women’s council. No definite relationship can exist until both men and women’s boards are comparable in structure and organization. Perhaps the solution to this problem is a Men’s Self Government Association similiar to the Women’s Association. Problems that concern the men or women could be considered by the individual boards, and each board would legislate according to its respective problems, while student council would take care of problems mutual to both groups. Both organizations would be greatly benefited by this type of student government organization. Each board would feel the strong influence of the other. Such a system would mean a closer relationship, a sharing of each other’s problems, a stronger government for the men. a larger opportunity for student development through particijxition in activities, and two strong student boards working together in the aim of realizing a better self-government. Fannie Mae Charlesworth I think it would be most advisable to erect girls’ dormitories as soon as the Cathedral is completed. By having these. Pitt will be able to draw students from a much wider area than is now possible. A wider area is always valuable as it increases interest in the university. At present we are starting a Junior College movement. These branches naturally encourage students to take higher learning, so if we want them to come here, it is best to provide board for them. Of course we have the fraternity houses, but if we had dormitories, board could be much cheaper and thus doors would be open to many girls who arc vitally interested in education and do not have the finance to live in a small student house. School spirit will be increased with dormitories, for now the tendency is for •‘out-of-town” girls to mingle with only house girls and to have no deep interest in school affairs. This is only natural, for each house is a small unit working and playing alone. In dormitories it will be natural for groii| s to pal together, but at the same time the school is presented as a whole. From the fraternity standpoint, if we had dormitories, each group could have a small house to use as its social center and for ceremonies without interruption. Most of all it seems very unjust to the few fraternities to have financial expense when the houses arc not filled. Even though they are run efficiently, it is better to have expense centralized under the university. So, dormitories may benefit both fraternities and the girls living in.” Katherine Maneval Four years spent at the University of Pittsburgh strangely enough give one little foundation for the expression of mature and practical suggestions of any material worth. As a member of this year’s graduating class I should merely like to toss off a few impressions of student life and activities at Pitt for I letter or for worse. A school of journalism should be established and a daily newspaper instituted. Intercollegiate minor sports should be removed ami lie incorporated in an extensive intramural athletic program. Dormatorics should lie built to keep students in closer contact with their school. A fraternity row ” should lie established. Above all Pitt students should realize that they are attending one of the greatest universities in the country and take pride in their activity and scholastic accomplishments. J. Leonard Solomon {’44} The effort to write constructive criticism of the school in which one has been a student for four years, finds one strangely lacking in both words and thoughts. The best that can Ik- done is probably a scries of sentences, each beginning with I think. ... Accordingly: I think Student Council one of the most ambitionless and lackadaisical organizations on campus, not because of any lack of ability on the part of the members, but because of a scarcity of problems with which it is capable of coping and the fact that most of these problems can In- more easily and directly settled by means of smaller, more centralized committees. I think the present movement for a M. S. (i. A. a foolish one because it goes even further into a decentralization w hich is already bad enough. 1 think Student Relations committee has proven itself capable, ami will continue so. of doing all the business and more, which Student Council has been wrestling with for the past four years ... I think the Owl should either be given an appropriation of at least $1000 or totally abolished .... I think drastic steps, in the form of constitutional amendment and parliamentary change, should be made to eliminate the fraternity |xditics which now runs rampant. ... I think a broader attitude and greater latitude should be devclo| cd in choosing the places for Cniversity functions instead of restricting them, practically in toto. to the Hotel Schenlcy ... I think people ought to lx at least allowed to think of a woman’s smoking room in the Cathedral. . . I think that none of these things will be accomplished but they that all ought to be. C. J. Phillips r-“i A building will never make a Cniversity is the unreasonable cry of too many Pitt students who have been influenced in their thinking by low-pressure instructors and short-sighted critics. Hut the Cathedral of Learning, plus a marvelous new type of college education that is to In-originated there, plus Dr. John G. Bowman, arc going to make a Cniversity which will cause the world to sit up and blink within the next ten years. A man of the limitless capabilities, sincerity and personality of John (1.

One great oil-electric locomotive is already in service. The largest and most powerful of its type in the world, this giant electric locomotive that carries its own generating plant develops 2660 horsepower, uses only .431b. of fuel per horsepower-hour developed at full load. Many interesting features arc incorporated in its design. The speed and voltage of the engine-generators are automatically controlled by the power demands. The engine exhaust is directed through automatically regulated economizers that heat the coaches and serve as well as mufflers. Control is placed at both ends, to enable running in cither direction. Only in a difference in gearing need the passenger-type units differ from those adapted to freight service. In the development of this locomotive Wcstinghousc engineers cooperated with the Railway’s own engineers and leading locomotive manufacturers and frame builders.

More and more the leaders in the profession arc installing their own x-ray units. They find that making their own radiographs enables them to render better service, to make their time more profitable. They soon become expert in interpretation. And this ownership of an x-ray unit proves to be not an expense, but an investment from which they get a steady yield. The Victor CDX Dental X-ray Unit has been a great factor in creating this vogue for individual ownership. The Victor CDX hangs suspended from the wall. It is electrically safe. Both transformer and tube, insulated in oil. arc enclosed in the tube head. There is no high tension current exposed anywhere.
