The Russia-Iran Question

W HEN the American people took arms against Hitler and his cohorts, our objective, if it was not to give to all peoples and all nations the opportunity to enjoy the

right of self rule, w as certainly to guarantee pre-war sovereignty to those nations which had lost it through the aggression of the Axis powers. Recent arguments and bickering between Russia and Britain on who should get what part of the world, would lead us to believe that once again the world has been led to slaughter reaching for a star, and once again American blood has been shed in vain.

Militarists tell us that the ultimate objective of world rule by the enemy would be accomplished by a union of German and Japanese forces in the near east. Japan was to move westward through China, Burma, and India to Asia Minor. Germany would move east through North Africa and the Balkan states to Asia Minor.

Allied strength in the near east would do much to prevent this meeting. Iran w as an objective not only because of its critical location but because of its rich oil deposits and other largely un­exploited natural resources as well. A British company owns the largest oil refinery in the world at Abadam on the Gulf of Persia. The northwestern Azerbajian province is rich in wheat, rice and cotton. Soon after the last war a railroad w as built through Iran running through Abadam on the Gulf of Persia in the south to Teheran in the north.

Russian and British troops moved into Iran simultaneously— the Russians from the north, the British from the south. They met at Teheran. There they both signed an agreement limiting the movements of the Russians to the north of Teheran, and the move­ments of the British to the south of Teheran. Both countries also signed a Tri-partite Treaty of Alliance with Iran stating that the presence of Russian and British troops "does not constitute a mili­tary occupation and will disturb as little as possible the adminis­tration and security forces of Iran, the economic life of the country, the normal movements of the population and the appli­cation of Iranian laws and regulations."

The Iran railroad w as immediately put into use transporting Lend-Lease material to the Russians at Teheran. The British asked for U. S. Army assistaiice in operating the railroad. That w as the American G.I.'s job in Iran during the war.

But with the end of the w ar the necessity for foreign troops in Iran has passed. However, Russia still maintains troops in the rich, northwestern Azerbajian province. And. although, accord­ing to the Tri-partite Treaty, the ultimate date for withdrawal of foreign troops is "at least six months after the end of the w ar with Germany and her associates"—the second of March—Iran can see no reason why Russian troops are not immediately with­drawn. According to Hussein Ala, Iranian Am bassador to America, ". . . the maintenance of contingents of the Red Army in our territory has encouraged the infiltration of extraneous, sub­versive elements into our northwestern province of Azerbajian, where a so-called spontaneous autonomous movement has been artificially created. This does not in any w ay reflect the will of the Persian people—the Quisling or puppet democratic govern­ment, established by violence and an arm ed uprising at Tabriz (main city of the western province), being repudiated by the elected representatives of Azerbajian who are actually sitting in the Madjless (Parliament) at Teheran." And further "The hands of the Persian government are tied by the refusal of the Soviet

military authorities to allow ovir security forces to proceed to the disturbed areas in order to restore tranquillity in our own terri­tory."

Russia requested certain oil concessions in Iran. However, Iran refused to discuss the matter until Russian troops had been withdrawn. Russia's answer, the recall of her Ambassador to Iran, gives us an idea of Russian aims and policy. Russian action or inaction by March the second will be a clear cut and official declaration of her aims and policies.

Small countries like Iran look to the United States for ad ­vice and protection. We have promised democracy and self-rule to these small nations. But what our promises will m ean and what they will involve is another matter. We hesitate to say or even guess what the answer is.

To the New Pledges

Th o s e of the men and women students who are this term pledging fraternities and sororities are, at the same time, showing a desire to participate in student activities. You

will be encouraged to do so as a part of fraternal life and it is expected that you do so.

The m any new contacts you will be making will broaden you socially and place you in a position to become familiar with the various activities. Take advantage of thisII Don't let your possibilities fall by the wayside. Certainly any student can spare a few hours each week in the interests of "a college atmos­phere" here at DrexeL

There is no denying that students entering college are the cream of the high school crop in more w ays than just mentally. Take advantage of this factor now while you are a lower class­man. If you were active a s a high school student you will prob­ably want to continue—now is the time! And, if at high school you were inclined to be the socially retiring type by all m eans m ake the step now toward ridding yourself of this habit.

In a few years, and with graduation, these opportunities will pass. Time is short so make the most of it. Help m ake your college a better place through your own efforts. Put yourself in a position to say, "I helped."

A Decent Place to Eat

JUST how long the Drexel student body can be expected to endure the disgustingly filthy conditions in the Student Cafe­teria is a question that m ay be answered shortly, if nothing

is done to correct this situation. For over five weeks it has been the conunon experience of the m any men and women who eat there to come down to the Cafeteria and have to push aside the m any trays, dishes, bottles, or silverware that are invariably strewn over the table from which they eat. Why hasn't some sys­tem been initiated to get these littered tables cleaned off and m ade usable for the next person? There seems to be no w ay by which the students themselves can clean their dishes off the table and it is obvious that the cafeteria employes whose duty it is to keep the tables clean are not of sufficient number to do a quick and thorough job.

Our challenge is to the respective Men's and Women's Stu­dent Government Associations to recognize these situations and find w ays and m eans to remedy them. Any conscious student government should have been working on the solution to this problem and be well on the way, at least, to a temporary solu­tion.

• Alpha Pi Lambda

The following men were initiated into the brotherhood of Alpha Pi Lambda last Sunday: Fred Rosenthal, George Ford, Frank Eckley, Paul Thonian, Frank Zameenik, George W'iltshire, Merle Forney, John Bilic, John Chambers, Royce Beatty and Edward Edinger.

“Apple Pi” is looking forward to a successful basketball season. Ashley Speaknian, captain, manager, and water boy, promised a hot team. So let’s come out, everyone, and help them along by cheering.

Another successful pledging season has come to a close as fourteen new iiien were pledged Monday, Ed Cof­fin has been appointed Pledge Mas­ter and has numerous schemes for keeping them busy.

Bill “Jeeves” Lawrence, our old houseman, has returned from the wars unscathed. At least, so he tells us. We’re glad to have you with us again, Jeeves,

The Navy has just grabbed two of our freshmen, Dale Harris and Bevon Miele. Be seeing you back in a cou­ple of years.

Plans are being laid for the Anniver- sary Formal Dance and Banquet to be held In the beginning of March. Bob Lorgus has been elected chairman of the affair and u large turnout is ex- peeled.

Art Argus, an old alumni, dropped m last Monday. Tom Price keeps popping around now and then but he 18 still stationed at the Navy Hospital.

• Kappa Phi Delta

'llie first postwar alumni banquet of Kappa Phi turned out 50 fraternity men. In the organizing of the ban­

quet, men as far back as the class of ’21 were contacted. The class of ’32 had two representatives present. The banquet was preceded by the formal initiation of Ben Jow, Simeon Rubin- off, Bill Frank, Bob Levy, Paul Baran, and Ed Kutler.

The open house dance at the Lodge showed about 75 people having a sw'ell time. We are still looking for Norm Perlmulter to turn out for a social affair. Entertainment was provided by members of the Tecosky family- Square dancing and folk singing proved quite entertaining to all- Thanks, Tek,

Speaking of Tekosky, he will lead the Kappa Phi team that intends to return the cup to Kay Phi Dee this term. It has been heard that Teco will not be present for the first gam*' and the team will be couched by Reds “Shoot” Sobel, Speaking of the more manly sports, we have just won th^ LF, Ping Pong Plaque. Thanks to Kolodner, Feldstein, Reisman and the liroselow boys for “bringing home the bacon,”

The new pledges for Kappa Phi a re : Reds Pollock, Marly Green, Dave Rode, Bert Greenspan, Mort Goren, Joe Seligman, Bill Kessler, Bernie Alzefrom, Abe Levin, Norm Einhorn. • Lambda Chi Alpha

Last Saturday night Lambda Ch held a bowling parly, followed by u dance at the house. Both proved lo be very successful.

Veterans Meet On Tuesday

The Drexel Veterans Club will hold a nomination and election of officers to fill the vacant chairs existing in the organization. Since the gradua­tion of Past-President Bob Ogle last June, the club meetings have been conducted under the leadership of Acting President Phil Egan. The G.I. Club at Drexel has passed the stage of floundering aimlessly about with but the mere handful of vets who were the first to return to the Institute several terms ago. There ore now in Drexel over too veterans under the G.I. Bill.

That the change in the hour of meet­ings from 8:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. is favorable was evident by the large at­tendance in the Student Building on Tuesday, February 5th. Room 202 was filled to near capacity during the brief but active session. At the rate new members are being admitted, fu­ture meetings will probably soon have to be conducted on the main floor of the Student Building.

Brought up again for more satisfac­tory action was the unsatisfactory con­dition existing at the Book Store. The present system of distribution of books and tlie signing of vouchers in ­stead of the transaction of cash causes a great inconvenience to the veterans attending Urexel under the G.I. Bill and results in a severe loss of time to everyone. Several plans are now under consideration whereby the situ­ation can be eased, however, further suggestions for a more proper remedy to the Book Store service may produce faster and better results. Ideas should be deposited in the Students’ Mailbox addressed to Herb Fadeley, Secretary, Veterans Club.

The Urexel Veterans Club has been invited to attend a meeting of the I'niversity of Pennsylvania Veterans Club at Houston, Hall, U. of P. cam­pus, on Saturday, February 9th at 6:30 p.m. The club will be addressed by Mr. Charles Rockey, President of the C.P.A. Board of Pennsylvania on a subject which should be of special interest to the Bus.-Ad. students. All vets of Urexel, whether club members or not, have been invited to the lecture.

The G.I. Club has postponed its de­cision to join the National Veterans Collegiate Association until after all the new G.I.’s in the February class have had an opportunity to become more familiar with that organization.

The next meeting of the Vets Club will be held in the Student Building at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19th.

H o w{Continued from Page 2)

All the brothers were sorry to see Don Williams, a Lambda Chi of Penn State, leave us last week. Uon has just entered Columbia University in New York, where he is striving for a Master’s Degree in Education. Uon was honored by a party on Friday niglit and a dinner Sunday evening.

We welcome the following new pledges into the fraternity: Ben Uavis, Bill Walker, Paul Lasko, Glen Weis- ensale, Frank Hanner, John Bacica, Art F'ord, A1 Catella, Rocco Di Ta ­ranto, Ed Uerby and Roy Cook.

We also welcome back three pledges from the service: Bill Ross, Jack Dureff and Kent Roberts.

Lambda Chi hopes to be successful in keeping the I.F. basketball cup in their possession this season. Al­though they lost their last game, the team is still confident. The team is being ably couched by Johnny Liggins.• Theta Chi

With the closing of rushing season Theta Chi announces its new pledges. They are: John Webster, Paul Stenipko, Ted Staake, Harry Binghum, Bill Barnes, Jack Robinson, Joe Kal- inowsky, Tom Butsuvitch, and lust but not least. Jack Humpton.

The main topic ut present is who’s taking who to the I.F. Ball. Every- thing for Friday night sounds super. Iheta Chi men and their dates will buve dinner ut the fruternity house be­fore tlie dunce, und the extra speciul i»enu planned by Social Chairniun Harry Fourtunis will include bouillon

many graduates, who mnnbered over too. Also mentioned were the A.S.- T.P. training, the E.S.M.W.T. pro­gram, and the invaluable technical services rendered the government by Urexel’s t'aculty members. Tlie third clause of the citation was directed specifically at Professor Henry Bow­man of the Civil Engineering Uepart- ment who has done notable work in design of military structures and in strategic bombing investigations.

President Creese, in his acceptance speech verified the statements made in the award and presented it in turn— “to tlie man who represents and is part of tlie group which really earned it, to Dr. Disque, Dean of the Faculty of Urexel Institute.”

Alumni New»On January 26 a committee from

the Drexel Club met witli Dr. Creese to discuss problems connected with the school. Such things as athletics, expansion of buildings and faculty, the better equipping of labs with sur­plus w;»r items that may be had for practically nothing, and the starting of a graduate school to add to the prestige of Drexel, were discussed in detail. Dr. Creese was very pleased to find the Alumni so interested and said he would welcome any further ideas on the subjects.

In an effort to give the Alumni something different in the way of social affairs, the Urexel Club is spon­soring on February 23 a “Let’s All Play Night.” It will consist of bridge, pinochle, bingo, ping-pong, dart games, movies, dancing, and bull ses­sions. Prizes will be awarded for games.

pears, and 8150 each to the author and the publication for the second best paper. Winners will receive certifi­cates.

Not merely for the cash prizes, but for the satisfaction that accompanies achievement, no Urexel student inter­ested in welding should miss this op­portunity to develop his interest. The forthcoming Tech Journal will be a very appropriate magazine in which to publish the papers. Space in the T riangle will also be made available for the publication of papers. For advice and for further information see Mr. UeHaven, room A-8.

One of the main events of this term will be Tlietu Chi’s traditional Bowery Bra\vl on February 23. This year’s Brawl promises to be bigger and bet­ter than ever, especially with all of the older fellows back to give it that extra zip.• Tau Kappa Epsilon

On Saturday, January 26, Tau Kappa Epsilon celebrated its return to the campus by holding its first open house dance since 1943. It gave everyone a chanc« to see the new home of TKE at 210 N. 31th St. This dance proved to be very successful and a grand time was had by all.

On Monday evening a banquet was given to welcome our new pledges. We are happy to welcome the follow­ing to our fraternity: Tom Bitzer, Bob Evans, Lou Hannan, Ray Holman, Bob Sellers, Uick Van Doren, Joe Warnalis, Uick Yasky.

We expect great things of these men and we know they will curry on the TKE trudition.

On Saturday, Februury 9, we will hold un open house dunce for our new pledges. The public Is ulso invited to come out und enjoy the evening.

A year later, Elliot started compos­ing, At the age of nine he made his formal radio debut, and at 12 he had written his first dance arrangcnieiit.

At sixteen Elliot organized his first orchestra and procee*led to make a reputation for himself at school and fraternity affairs. The same year he won top honors in the state-wide con­test for high school pianists.

At the I'niversity of Pennsylvania, where he attained the highest music honors, he directed the band, sang in the (Jlee (]Iub, and performed in Mask and Wig productions. As a result of these efforts, he was elected to a per­manent membership in the Mask and Wig Club and to Pi Lambda Phi, honor fraternity.

He continued studying after gradu­ating from Penn and, along with everything else, he found time to do “ M.C,” and play piano at the Stage Door Canteen on Sunday nights.

Tonight as you listen to the band, or swing to its “ilesigned-for-dancing music” tempos with your best girl or beau you will appreciate, more than ever, the potency of Elliot Lawrence’s gifted pen and inspired direction.

Jack Hunter is the lad you lunir singing the popular tunes of the day with Elliot Lawrence and his Orches­tra. Jack’s naturally pleasing baritone voice, combined with his interesting style, make him one of the most popu­lar vocalists of the day.

The men were told of the oppor­tunity and re<|uirements in the Navy’s Y-5 program, which are still the same as during the war. Coniinander Bat­dorf said that the Navy plans to con­tinue the program, training from 1500 to 4400 naval aviators a year.

The program includes a four semes­ter college ]>rogram as apprentice sea­men followed by a four year enlist­ment containing about two years as an Aviation Cadet and two years as a naval aviator.

If the course is successfully com­pleted the trainee has a choice of u commission in the Naval Reserve as an ensign or in the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant.

Commander Batdorf has his office on the 6lli floor of the North Ameri­can Life Insurance building at 1600 Arch Street. Examinations are given to aspirants at this address every day beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Interfraternily haskethall started with a big bang last night when the Lnmi>da (^liis h)st to the Tekes by a score of 27-21 in what will probably be termed as one of the most exciting games in the l.F. League. The Lambda Chis, spurred by' stellar ball handling, finally found the basket and racked up 16 points to the Teke’s 19 in the first 16 minutes of play. The Tekes displayed remarkable scoring ability and also had the advantage in height. Big Dirk Yasky and Freisendantz did a good job in snatching the rebounds away from the Lambda Chis.

The second half of the game was a “nip and tuck” affair with Liggins, Lyons, and Kees of the Lambda Chis laying up shots to keep the pace with Dowd and Landis of the Tekes. With 3 seconds left to play, “Honest Tom Snyder,” score keeper, called time out to straighten out the score with the fans (there were some), the teams, and himself.

Honors go to Dowd and Landis of TKE who scored 13 and 11 points, respectively. Huges dropped in a foul shot and Preisendantz sunk a field goal to bring the final score to 27. The Lambda Chis’ scoring was dis­tr ibuted between Ace Lyons and Kees with 6 apiece and Johnny Liggins with 9 points. Goebel and Cragg added up 2 and 1 points to bring the score to 24.

In the second game of the night the Theta Chis took the Apple Pies over the hurdles in a one-sided game by a score of 21-10. The boys in red really had a combination with Ross and Kratzer backing them up. We’ll give a lot of credit to lil’ Chris Leone’s foul shooting, though—because he really came through. We’ll also give Phil Eagan 5 pernts toward discharge. He was the first casualty of the season —how’s the black eye, old m an????

At the half time the Theta Chi boys had the lead, 14-2, but neither time nor tide could hold the Apple Pies for a better showing in the second half.

Miss Saddleniair, swim coach and recent new addition to Drexel faculty, has been giving some fine workouts. Credit goes to Sue Austin, unani­mously elected captain, for building up good team spirit.

The schedule is as follows:Feb. 13—Beaver Feb. 2 6 —Chestnut Hill Mar. 9—I’enn Hall Mar. 15 Bryn Mawr

Another item of interest is the elec­tion of Elaine Menaugh as team cap­tain, to serve along with Eugenia Grif- full, the head of the Women’s Rifle Team, and Kathleen Kraft, the Mana­ger. Serving on the team are many of those last year’s members who have done much outstanding shooting, namely: Ina Casale, Myreta Keil, Eu­genia Griffith, Elaine Menaugh, Betty Matheson, and Kocky O’Boyle.

On February 14th, the Drexel Worn- en’s Rifle Team will hold its first shoulder to shoulder match with Beaver College. The match will take idace on the Drexel Range at 7:30 p.m. For this event the girls have been putting in long hours of extra practice, wiiich should stand them in good stead in the coming games.

Since the end of the war, the mem- hers of the team have expressed great desire to participate in more shoulder to shoulder matches. Although no definite arrangements have been made, it Is expected that the team will pur. ticipate in at least one mutch, probably with Penn State. In addition to this, there will be several practice matches with the Men’s Riflo Team.

Last Saturday night at 8, Drexel and Swarthmore met on the Dragon’s court for the second game between the two teams. Swarthmore, who entered the game a heavy favorite, finally won, but a fighting Drexel quintet kept the issue in doubt until the final three minutes. Drexel carried a 2-1 lead in the early minutes, but the Garnet went ahead 7-t before niiich more time had elapsed. While the Dragons’ shots bounced off the rim of the basket, Swarthmore sank two more field goals to hold an 11-7 lead.

In a low-scoring second period, the Garnet pressed their advantage to gain a 23-15 half-time lead.

Score at the three quarters was 34-26. With six minutes to play, three quick baskets put the Drexel five only two points behind. The game was even for the next three minutes, neither team gaining any advantage, but Swarthmore spurted ahead, tallying four baskets and one foul. These points proved enough to win the game. Final score was 45-37.

Mason of Drexel and Fasnaugh of Swarthmore were tied for high scor­ing honors with 15 points each. Hill and Duke each had ten points to hold down second high between them.

In last Monday night’s game, the Dragons started off by taking a 3-0 lead. The Blue Hens came fighting back and took a commanding lead of 9-3. The Dragons were held score- less while Delaware was collecting

Kappa PhiTriumphsAgain

Kappa Phi Delta, led by Meyer Kolodner, won the Inter-Fraternity table-tennis championship for the sec­ond straight year. Fresh from their recent triumph last fall, when they walked away with the football laurels, the K-Phis raced through the paddle- board league, winning seven games and losing only one.

The team was comprised of the Broselow boys as doubles and Feld- stein, Kolodner, and Reisman as sin­gles. In the only loss suffered by the victors. Alpha Pi Lambda displayed a “flash-in-the-pan” style of play that was lacking in most of their games. But in their next encounter with the A^pple Pies, the K-Phis eked out a bitterly fought victory.

Congratulations are in order for Tau Kappa Epsilon for putting out a team when they were sorely handi­capped by a lack of members.

its nine straight points. Drexel fought steadily and at the close of the first quarter they were trailing 12-11. The Dragons tied it at 12-12 and then went ahead 15-14 and 19-15. Their eager- ness to control the ball led to three quick fouls and at halftime, the lead was cut to 19-18.

The Blue Hens started like a ball of fire at the beginning of the third quarter and scored nine more succes­sive points to lead 27-19. They in­creased their lead to 31-21 and at tlie close of the third quarter still man­aged to hold a 35-27 edge in spite of the undismayed spirit of the McNally men. The two teams battled on even terms in the final period with each col­lecting eight points. Delaware’s abil. ity to capitalize on their free throws gave them their margin of victory. They connected with 17 out of 19 tries, while the Dragons dropped in only 9 out of 24 free throws. With the steady improving of George Brown Hill and Bob Mason, the Dragon quintet will be greatly improved. Bob and George took scoring honors with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
