The Dissection of a Frog. As its most ambitious enterprise, the Science Club successfully undertook the preparation of aniline dyes from coal tar. The various steps in the manufacture of them were presented with adequate Science Club explanations to the members. The Science Club of T. A., a member of Science Clubs of America, plans to exhibit the results of its experiments to the student body. The Stamp Club is a newcomer to T. A. Organized by an enterprising lower-termer, George Sales, it received equal consideration from the Execu- tive Council along with the longer-established clubs as soon as the sincer- ity of its efforts was evident. The Stamp Club has not yet been able through experience to realize its potentialities and its limitations. With fuller development, it will provide T. A. students with a trading mart for stamps and with an opportunity to exchange philatclie information and experience amongst themselves. One of the means that the clubs, and all other activities for that matter, have of attracting participants is the Publicity Bureau. This past term, the Bulletin Board, which is under the care of the Publicity Bureau, has exhibited at all times material interesting enough to catch the eyes of the students. The art and literature featured were excellent. As a suggestion to increase its usefulness, the Publicity Bureau could read daily to all offi- cial classes a list of all activities to take place that day and the day follow- ing. Sporadic attemp-ts at this have already been made but the efforts were too unorganized to work. Having at its disposal another bulletin board is the Concert Bureau. As usual the manager has secured tickets to radio broadcasts and has made them available to the students upon payment of a small service fee. Con- tinuing its custom of placing tickets to the disposal of the lYar Effort Com- mittee for distribution to bond buyers, the Concert has also cooperated this term with the Elchanite. Q5

but, except for the first meetings, not more than half a dozen regular mem- bers showed up. This is no doubt due to the severe exclusiveness of all dc- bating activities in T. A. Students who did attend profited much but at Debating Society any rate, the proposed program oi the Program Committee C Deutsch, Hab- er and Steinerb failed to be carried out. The Hebrew Speaking Club has proudly finished its most successful term. Its program consisted of reports 'by members on questions of Jewish interest and on the Jewish news, each followed by question-and-answer H 0 bra zu Spcalfing Club periods. All transactions were carried on in Heb1'ew. Examples of the topics reported on are Jewish philosophy and Yiddish literature. As its fclimaxing achievement the Hebrew Speaking Club issued a mimeographed magazine in Hebrew, Hazik Q The Sparkuj . It contained many articles of interest written by the members themselves. The Science Club, once it had so-lved the problem -of abtaining a steady and competent faculty adviser by securing the services of Mr. Samuel Leibowitz, progressed by leaps and bounds. Following the T. A. trend 'away from dry lectures and discussions and towards student participation, the Science Cluub presented several demfonstrations with appropriate talks, both given by student members. Some of these demonstrations, taking place in the chemistry and physics lalborato-ries of T. A. with additional supplies provided by the Yeshiva College laboratories and by hir. Leibo- witz, were: VVhat is Catalysis? , The Chemistry of Photography, and Q4

The Service Squad, formerly the Discipline Squad, instituted a system of hall patrols during periods during the fall ter'm. In the spring term, un- der the captaincy of lNIathew Katz, it patrolled the third floor during the first periods of the afternoon. There has been much speculation among -, ' - 1 Service S quad student leaders, and also among students in general, as to the role that the Service Squad will play in the proposed and much discussed Student Court. Turning to sports, we report a general decline in the quality and in the quantity of T. A. interscholastic and intramural sports. The basketball varsity, despite the enthusiastic and whole hearted efforts of old standbys such as Kid Felder, Geller and Simon, did not even come close to the rec- ord of the teams of a few terms ago. To a large extent, this is due to the unavailability of the gym for practice. This also accounts for the virtual disappearance of intra-mural basketball. That is all as far as sports of the body go. No longer are there talble tennis and punichball tournaments. For the remaining sports activities one must turn to chess and debating. These two never have had a large fol- lowing, being practiced by a small group only. The interscholastic teams in both fields have however upheld the honor of T. A. against all comers, Yeshivas and public high schools alike. A fairly successful intramural de- bating schedule was completed. Wle finally come to journalism. The bane of all T. A. activities, lack of student participation and cooperation, hit the two school periodicals, the Academy Newsu and the Elchanite. If the top men of any T. A. pub- lication are in the game for the experience they ca11 get out of it, they soon find out that they get more of that than they bargained for. Two or three men have to take care of all the work and detail. That is an unfair con- dition and a self-destructive one, for a st.udent publication canot exist unless it is published by students. Working under these handicaps, several issues of the Academy Newsl' and a belated issue of the Elchanite fthe one you are now readingj appeared. The editors of the Academy News were Martin Halpern, Simon Deutsch Qwith lNIathew Katz as managing editorj and Melvin Bunim successively. All received and acknowledged the in- valuable advice and help of Stanley Wexler, managing editor of this Elch- anitea' under editor-in-chief Simon Deutsch. Q6
