At the last meeting of the Inter- Fraternity Council June past, Mr. Lawrence Mains was elected faculty advisor. He will succeed Dr. Hanson, who has carried on the duties for the past two years. Professor Mains, who is connected with the civil engineering dept., grad- uated from Cornell, where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fra- ternity. He has been an instructoj and later assistant professor at Drexel since 1925, and his wide popularity with the students makes an ideal mail for the position. The council officers elected were: Pres., J. Guggenheim; v.-pres,, D. Hartranft, and sec.-treas., W. Hawkes. At the meeting^ Thursday, Sept. 22, plans for the proposed Inter-Fraternity Ball were discussed and the mythical affair seems to be comihg to a reali- zation at last.

The initial meeting of the Fresh- men for the purpose of organizing a discussion group will be held on next Wednesday, at 1 o’clock, in the Y. AL C. A. Building on 32nd Street. The purpose of this meeting at this time is to determine the exact day and time on which the group will meet. This is essential owing to the varia- tions in the different schedules. The Freshmen Discussion Groups which were held last year prov'ed to be extremely successful, for, as many recall, quite a turnout was witnessed at each gathering. The underlying object of the discussions is to offer an incentive to stimulate an interest —and also educate the student in problems which are outside the rou- tine college work. The problems to be dealt with, and which, by the way, were the result of a number of heated discussions last year, are problems that should be of interest to the Upper-Classmen as (Continued on Page 3, Column 3) Newman Club Gathers.

Professor Mains, who is connected with the civil engineering dept., grad­uated from Cornell, where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fra ­ternity. He has been an instructoj and later assistant professor at Drexel since 1925, and his wide popularity with the students makes an ideal mail for the position.

The council officers elected were: Pres., J. Guggenheim; v.-pres,, D. Hartranft, and sec.-treas., W. Hawkes. At the meeting^ Thursday, Sept. 22, plans for the proposed Inter-Fraternity Ball were discussed and the mythical affair seems to be comihg to a reali­zation at last. The committee plans to engage Phil Emerton and his “Black Diamonds,” but the ballroom has not been decided.

“Y.” Discussion Groups Continue

Popular Sessions to View Various Problems of In­terest to the Entire Student Body.

The initial meeting of the Fresh­men for the purpose of organizing a discussion group will be held on next Wednesday, at 1 o’clock, in the Y. AL C. A. Building on 32nd Street. The purpose of this meeting at this time is to determine the exact day and time on which the group will meet. This is essential owing to the varia­tions in the different schedules.

The Freshmen Discussion Groups which were held last year prov'ed to be extremely successful, for, as many recall, quite a turnout was witnessed at each gathering. The underlying object of the discussions is to offer an incentive to stimulate an interest —and also educate the student in problems which are outside the rou­tine college work.

The problems to be dealt with, and which, by the way, were the result of a number of heated discussions last year, are problems that should be of interest to the Upper-Classmen as

Newman Club Gathers. Plans Province Dance

The Newman Club held its first meeting of the year in the Art Gal­lery on Thursday night, Sept. 29. The meeting was held for the purpose of outlining plans for the forthcoming year.

A Province dance has been decided upon for October 29—this will be free for all paid up members of the New­man Club of Penn, Drexel, Temple and various other colleges in the Middle Atlantic Province.

During the meeting. Father Plun^ kett, the club chaplain, spoke on the importance of all old members getting not only the Freshmen interested, but also the upper classnien who have not been active during the past year.

Student Council Holds Opening Court Dance

Freshmen, men and women, were guests of the Student Council last Tuesday afternoon for the first court dance of the fall term. Benny Pritchard and liis Blue Dragons pro­vided tho rhythm which served to luro hundreds of dancers onto the court fiagging.

I t was noted with pleasure that there was actually a great number of the freshman class taking part. The main jiurpose of the court dances is to get the students together so that new acquaintances are made, and this idea was very well accomplished. The usual number of upper classmen were present, and things moved rapidly, very few remaining seated during the dance numbers.

Military Department Has Excellent Rating

New Insignia with Blue Drag(m • Center Feature, has been A», dei to Uniforms.

Wo regret to announce the enforced resignation of Miss Gertrude Yungel, Managing Editor of the TRIANGLE, due to her succession to the Presi­dency of the Women’s Student Government. Mr. John Me- Loughlin, former Sports Editor, has assumed the duties of Man­aging Editor.

Siiortly after the spring fiuais tllQ Drexel Military department received olHeial notice from tho War Depart­ment of their second consecutive ex­cellent rating as an R. O. T. C. unit. 'I'his recognition is the goal of every unit throughout the colleges of the country.

This year the Drexel unit has added . a new insignia to their uniforms. It- is in the form of a small shield with a dark blue dragon centered upon a bright gold background. These shieldV are worn by all members of the corps The officers we;ir them on their shoul der straps, while tho men in rankt wear them on the lapels of their coat just below the regulation torch shiel^. The staff of the department has been trying to secure these for several years and have made an excellent se­lection in the design, tho dragon be­ing symbolic of Drexel.

Major McCullough is beginning his fifth year as P. M. S. & T. with this unit. This is very significant in that it is the first time for a P. M. S. & T. to stay at one post for more than the customary four years.

Major McCullough, Captain Bogerr and Lieutenant Hulley are all qteiu ing their last year of duty as m w bers of the Drexel Staff, The p a id r of tho present school year will lea' Lieutenant Harris the sole survivor the dei)artment as it is today.

A New LeaderR EX EL INSTITUTE welcomes its I’resitlent, Dr. Parke II. Kolbe, with the knowledge that the college is receiving as

its new leader a man who has been outstanding in the educa- ^onal world, both as an able executive and a scholar of the highest ^ank.

I t is needless to review once more the dramatic stages by iwhich Drexel Institute has advanced to the fore of collegiate ?ircles under the leadership of the late President Matheson. We \;aniiot, however, rest on our past laurels, but must support whole- ■partedly the program and efforts of the man who now guides the !3stinies of our institution. .I A new vista opens for Drexel in the coming decade. The /loom of depression has cast its shades upon the economic posi j4on of the collegiate world, but with the brightening horizon of jCeturning prosperity, even higher s tandards of scholastic achieve naent will be attained than have been gained in the past.

Drexel Institute will be a leader in this movement. An un jhakable foundation has been established and it is on this foun- '^ tion th a t the Drexel of the future will arise. Dr. Kolbe is a jjader of outstanding merit. Let the students give him their whole- earted support and Drexel Institute will attain new heights in the ijholastic and industrial worlds.

Thefts)

DUE) to frequent thefts with wdiich Drexel students have been confronted recently, there seems to be a serious need for

J „ protection. Several suits of clothing have been stolen from during drill, also a large amount of money was taken from

/.le g ir ls ’ pocketbooks which were left in the field house during 'hockey practice.I I t is also known tha t serious amount of damage has been done /to the cars parked near the field while the owners were attending

I football games or drill. This damage was perpetrated, by persons who we refused pay to watch the cars. These thefts are severe

\ annoyances to students and supporters, and if permitted to con- I tinue will become a serious menace. Since Drexel students are

noted for their spirit these unfortunate occurrences should not be allowed to repeat themselves.

These conditions should be thoroughly investigated and pro- ection alforded all persons attending Drexel activities at the field.

Freshmen Regulations

Instead of the customary caps, ties, and garish “ Green preshmen class will be sadly lacking in a knowledge of real college for their names, for the purpose of identification onlv. The cus­tomary Freshman rules about using the front doors, carrying watches for upper classmen, etc., are still in effect but there is no ^azing.

A tendency towards this change has been noticeable for the list several years, but this is the first year that any definite step 8 been taken. Of course, a few upper classmen who were |2ed have expressed regrets because the present Freshmen are t subjected to this adolescent maniuM* of initiation to halls of ju lng .

THK FOUNTAIN, by Charles Mor- Macmillan Compsny,

Are you weary of the modern trend of novels? Are you disgusted With till time worn themes! Do vou re­volt ng!,,„at the lackadaisical man­lier of composition? If you do, a life boat has appeared in the nick of time. Indeed, ( harles Morgan has rcscued the world with “The Fountain”. H etl we ha\ e an intensely iiiterestinff story, exceptionally well written, enl veloped by a cloak of philosophy. Indeed, that is what makes this novei so great, for Morgan has appealed to the teachings of Socrates and Plato for his revelations of life.

Lewis Alison with whom vou will be chiefly concerned is an * English officer interned for the remainder of the war. Alison visits the Van Lea­den estate in Holland. There he falls in love with his former pupil, Julie Narwitz. Julie had married a Ger­man officer w'ho is occupied a t the front. Poor Julie had always been like a bastard child in the Van Leyden household. Her mother had been ffov- erness there and had later fallen in love with the Baron and married hin . Julie never loved her husband—it was a family nffair. When Alison eamv to work on some papers owned by ths Baron it was like a gleam of snn- light in Julie Narwitz’s life. They worked together; thev played to- gether; they soon realized that friend­ship had passed to the stage beyond. But always they had a premonition before them; they lived in dread of it. And finally—he returned—Rupert Narwitz came back—his right arm amputated, his right shoulder and back injured—gassed! But, in splto of it all, Morgan makes him a won­derful character—one with whom we can’t help but sympathize, for whom we hope Julie will learn to love. And she tries—so hard! She forbids Lewis to ^ee her and dedicates all her strength to making her husband com­fortable and happy. .Yet, she feels that he must see that her love is un­real, that her sympathy is superficial. The reader too feels that Narwits urtderstands his wife—but, he wor­ships her!

(earing that perhaps, she loaves him alone too much, she asks if he is lonely.

“Bnt you are always her*—ymi are the lakes and their qnlstnsii; yon are the sun and its wnrmUi; you are the spring, and the warn- mer th a t is coming.”Feeling that at last he must know

that she holds no love for him, Ja lie cries out to him not to despise her.

And w ith grandiose simplicity, he says: “I have never despiakl (Oontinned on Page 3 , Column 4 ). .

Gold and Blue Eleven Ties Lehigh In Gridiron Opener, 13-13Coach Halas States Opinion

Of New RulesChanges in Game will Not

Distract from its Interest. Block and Flying Tackle will Not be Used.

Equipment ChangedFootball ift known today ns the

sport of sports, and although a few of the rulefl have been changed it does not affect the interest of the game. Some fans thought that the new rules would be a nuisance in fol­lowing the game, but according to

Coach Halas, they will have no dis­advantage whatever.

One of the first changes made was in the equipment. This year the thigh guards are to be padded on the out­side with felt from rubber or other soft padding. In the kickoff rule, Coach Halas does not agree with the «ominittee in the change made. Our coach has over a number of years used the wedge play and in all his experi­ence has never seen anyone injured. This play has been known as the most picturesque part of the game.

To the great disappointment of many football fans the block and fly­ing tackle have been done away with. For a number of years there has been

rule forbidding the flying tackle, but it has never been enforced. What i f a five yard penalty is imposed, it isn’t going to stop a player from tak ­ing a flying dive to stop what might Tesult in a touchdown.- In former years a man removed in the first half could not be returned until the second half. This year a man may be removed at the discretion of the coach and also be returneij when he chooses. This will allow a man who has met with minor injury or one who is fatigued to re-enter when the coach thinks advisable.

Another new rule is one which makes the ball dead, after any por­tion of the carrier’s body touches the ground, excepting the hands or the

^ e et. Coach Halas believes that this rule will be of great benefit. He be­lieves that this rule will prevent knee­ing and piling up when a man is down, if they make it more specific. I t will also prevent numerous injuries.

Professor Halas agrees with the rules committee that slugging is not a part of the game. This rule pro­vides that the hands cannot be used on the head and neck.

On the whole the new rules are conducive to a cleaner and more sportsman like version of the old American game of football.

Athletic Council Face Problem of Framing an Amendment that Offers Solution.

Dragon Jayvees Need Material

Coach Repscha Stresses Need for Freshmen to Aid in the Construction of a Jayvee Team.

With Drexel’s football seaso^i at hand, Coach “Al” Repscha is rapidly whipping his Freshman material into shape for a splendid team. At the present time the only apparent worry Coach “Al” has is to find enough re­serve material for his well built team. For this reason he is sending an ap­peal to all Freshmen and upper class students who are not out for the varsity, to come out for the Junior Varsity. Coach Repscha believes, as he has a right to, that there is an abundant supply of football material lying dormant in Drexel. So he is making this final appeal for candi­dates to aid him in the construction of a super Jay Vee team.

The first game on the Junior Var­sity schedule is w’ith Valley Forge Military Academy on October 15th, at Wayne, Pennsylvania. Men who are expected to participate in the opening game are: “Mo” Kaplan, Riverside, New Jersey; Schultz, Lans- dale. Fox, Tippin, and Coltart, lumi­naries of Roxborough High; Treen, formerly of Millville; Fitzgerald, Northeast High; Courbis, Haverford; Rhile, Darby; Stevens, Swarthmore; Martin, Collingswood; Stanton, Brown Prep; and last, but not least, Flan- nagan, of South Philadelphia. The nion mentioned above were all promi­nent in high school football circles, and are expected to come through for Drexel’s young Dragons in the game with Valley Forge on the l.'jth. De­spite the pessimistic outlook as far as reserve material is concerned, there is a note of optimism in the fact that the first string material is shaping up better than in the las^ few years. All Coach “Al” can do is ask for a little co-operation from the men Avho are, at the present writing, uninterested in the fate of the Jay Vees. To help Coach Repscha out, I am going to plead with you fellows who have foot­ball ability lying unused, to come out for the Junior Varsity and show the “Old Drexel Spirit.”

This year Drexel is confronted with the peculiar problem of filling three managerial posts left vacant when the manager-elect withdrew from school. The three sports affected are foot­ball, basketball and track.

As the athletic constitution provides no mpans for filling these vacancies, Graduate Manager “Bill” Stevens states that no steps can be taken to remedy this condition until an amend­ment is made to the Constitution. In order to do this the Student Athletic Council must first draw up such an amendment and present it to the Fac­ulty Athletic Council for approval.

The student body is encouraged to submit suggestions to the Students’ Athletic Council. A few suggestions under consideration at the present time are: “That the present assistant manager be made manage# and that in the next election both a manager and an assistant be elected,” but this would not totally overcome the diffi­culty, as an assistant manager should have a year’s experience before as­suming the higher post; the second suggestion is that the Faculty Athletic Council appoint Hew managers; and the third is that last year’s managers continue to manage the teams for an­other season, providing they are still undergraduates.

The position of head cheerleader, however, offers no problem, since “Joe” Ickes is right on the job with a capable and spirited squad which performed with gusto at the Lehigh encounter.

well, for which other groups are being organized.

Some of the problems to be dis­cussed are as follows:

Why Are We In College?Is Campus Popularity Worth Seek­

ing?How’ Radical Shall We Re?Where Shall W'e Stand On War?How Shall We Treat Other Races?Does College Weaken or Strength­

en Religious Faith?After Death. What?Also many other fascinating topics.There is no formality represented

at these get-togethers, and, as a re­sult, everyone has a chance to air his opinions and ideas on the topic being discussed.

As we all have different opinions and each opinion can be placed against its opposite, a very interest­ing and enlightening hour may be spent. Each Freshman should man­ifest his interest and Good-Fellowship by being present. Furthermore those students who carry their lunches mav eat them during the first part of the discussion before the ensuing heat cur­tails the flow of the gastric juices.

Dragon Eleven to Meet Blue Hens

Delaware Toughest Game on Dragon Card. Halas- men to Be in Fine Shape.

Saturday the Dragons will journey to Newark, Delaware, to meet the I'niversity of Delaware eleven, after a year’s lapse. The last time the Dragons met the Blue Hens of Dela­ware, coached by Charley Rogers, former Penn flash, was on the Drexel field in 1930. That game w'as played in a sea of mud, and ended in a 13- 13 stalemate.

In 1928 at Drexel Field the Halas- men downed Delaware by a 19-0 count, and the following year took the meas­ure of the Blue Hens on their ow’n field, 21-6. Since that time, however, the Delaware eleven has been very up and coming, and last year tied the strong Rutgers team, in addition to holding Navy to a 12-7 score. The Delaware tussle is, in the writer’s opinion, the • toughest on the 1932 Dragon card, and should draw a large turnout of the football fans in this section. The Halas boys will be in fine fettle w’hen the whistle blows, while Charley Rogers has demonstrat ed that he can send a team on the field that is heavy, fast and football wise. A crackerjack contest may be expected.

At the present writing only two of Drexel’s future opponents have begun their 1932 seasons. Ursinus, over whom the Dragons hold a 12-7 deci­sion from 1931, lost to Villanova, 26- 2, w’hile W’est Chester was trounced by Albright, 38-2. The 1932 Ursinus team is generally conceded to be on a par with that of 1931, but will miss the high calibre ball toting of “Hi” Miller. W’est Chester’s showing was not impressive, but an opening game is, of course, no accurate criterion of a team’s real ability.

Fortunately the slump in business has not extended itself to the Drexel rooters’ spirit and energy. At Lehigh the Drexel rooters made themselves heard nol)ly and vociferously. “Joe” Ickes i)lace'd his cheerleading squad on exhibition for the first time, and their technique gives promise of one of the smoothest aggregations ever to cavort upon the Drexel sod.

Coach Halas Speaks to Sport Fans of Air

Coach of Drexel Teams Gives His Opinion on New Football Rules.

The Philadoli'hin Klectric Company ushered in a new series of sport broad­casts over Station WCAT, offering as their initial program “ All Drexel Night.” The feature of the program was a talk given by Head Coach Wal­ter H. Halns, in which he explained the new changes in the footbr. 1 rules for the current season and the effect which they would have on the game. The Blue and Gold gridmen exercised their vocal organs by presenting to the ratlio public a number of Drexel songs and cheers.

At the Annual Radio and Klectric Show at the Convention Hall, Coach Halas was again called upon to give to the public via the ether waves his predictions of the outcome of the sec­tional championship football games. Sportdom is eagerly awaiting the next radio appearance of the Gold and Blue mentor.

key to Alison’s mind, when he builds up his Platonic philosophy—that struggle to attain innate tranquillity —monastic isolation.

That people today are anxious to read something worth while is evinc­ed by the popularity “The Fountain” has attained in Europe and America. I t was chosen in England by “The Book Society” and in America by “The Book of the Month Club”.

Mr. Morgan is thoroughly compe tent to write such a novel. He is dramatic critic on “The London Times” and is known for his poetic and scholarly mind.

P 9 rcy Hutchinson in the “New York Times” says of “The Fountain”, “I t is one of the most poetical pieces of prose fiction tha t has come to light for a long time.”

“The Fountain” may be found in the Drexel library.

0])ening its season away from home for the first time in several years, the Dragon eleven journeved to Le­high on September ‘:4th to give battle to the Brown and White gridiron machine coached by Austin Tate. When the smoke of the opening foot­ball encounter for the 1J).'<2 season had settled the Gold and Blue of Drexel was tied with Lehigh’s co­horts. The final tabulation gave the Dragons thirteen points and the Brown and White the same number.

The Dragons started fast and coup­ling a “break” of the game with a well executed aerial offensive pushed over the first score of the game early in the opening quarter. “Ted” Markle paved the way for the first Drexel six pointer when he fell on a punt fumbled by the Lehigh receiver. From the Brown and White’s twenty- eight yard line Burns heaved a pass into the waiting arms of Potter and the Dragons were but six yards from the goal line. Two line bucks failed and then another pass, this time to Wirth, who would have scored the touchdown, but the Dragon linemen w’ere detected offside. Undaunted, the Dragons attempted another pass and this time Johnny Gabriel snared the spinning oval and scored the touchdown. Wirth dropped back and kicked the point and the Gold and Blue enjoyed a seven to nothing lead.

Shortly after the kickoff an ex­change of punts followed, giving the Dragons the possession of the ball deep in their own territory. Lehigh intercepted a pass intended for a

Dragon wingman on the Gold and Blue’s twenty-five yard line. Failing t»> advance against the forward wall of the Dragons, Suvalsky booted a

Brownand White three markers. The first quarter ended shortly after.

Soon after the start of the second quarter, Robb, Lehigh tackle, broke through the Dragon's forward wall and blocked a punt, recovering the oval. After one line' plunge failed to net any gain, Ock carried the ball around left end to tally six points for the Brown and White. Suvalsky’s toe again did the trick for Lehigh. The half ended with the Brown and White enjoying a ten to seven lead over the Dragons.

Early in the second half Lehigh added three more tallies to its total when Suvalsky again kicked a field goal from the twenty-five yard line. i^Ate in this quarter the Dragon’s aerial attack again began to func­tion. Two successive passes just as the third quarter ended put the ball on Lehigh’s 25-yard line. A l in r plunge failed to net any ground hot a beautifully executed pass to Bill Wright netted the Dragons another score. On this play the Lehigh line­men were offside so the score stood. Ray Wirth was inserted at this point to kick the extra point, but Morse of the Lehigh forward wall broke through to block the kick, 'thus sav­ing his team from certain defeat a t the hands of the Gold and Blue.

by Joe Ickes who led the Drexel songs and cheers, and ])layed.

On Sunday morninjj, Mr. Van Tine read a seleotirni from the Hible and then introduced Dr. Stratton who gave a V(*ry educational address, the text of wiiich was, “ Wisdom brings UnderstandinK, T’nderstandinp brings Vision, and Vision brings Knowledge.” After an appetizing turkey dinner everyone prepared for the journey hack to Philadelphia and arrived in the city at ^.3 0 . The only regret was that more Freshmen were unable to take advantage of the camp and its opportunities. May the Drexel Fresh­man Camp continue its good work for many years to come.

The purpose of the camp, which is sponsored bv the Y. M. C. A. through Mr. A. K. V'an Tine and Mr. John Bartholomew, is to acfpiaint new stu­dents with the ideals and traditions of Drexel Institute. It gives the boys a very good oj>portunity to meet members of the f a c u l t y , upper-class leaders, and to make friendships in a strange place. The spirit of friendli­ness in tlie camp relieves the t<‘nsions -which settles upon mo.st studi-nts who are entering a college where they do not know any classmats or faculty members. The few days at the cam]* give the Freshmen a bird’s-eye view of life at Drexel Institute, and with the friendships they have made in their few days together, it makes tho start of school a thing to be enjoyed rather than dreaded.

The elections will be held in two weeks and the men elected will hold office for one year. Paul Klick has charge of the mailing of ballots to men in Industry.

Dr. Parke R. Kolbe (Continued from Page 1, Column 7)Dr. Kolbe is keenly interested in

all activities. In his address at com­mencement he made particular note of the favoralile impression created by developments at Drexel during the past decade. He said, “Devoted, as you are to the development of the co­operation type of education, you have been conspicuously successful in that most i)romising field of endeavor. But you have not limited your api)lication of modern educational theory to a single suliject nor to men alone. In f(iur distinct fields you are i)reparing men and woiihmi to do the work of the world througii the practical api)lica- tion of the principles of science, and you have thus made Drexel Institution a vital factor in the life of Philadel-i pliia and of the nation."

Dr. Kolbe is intensely iiiterestt'd in jitliletics, as evidenced in the follow iiig teb'gram received by Dean Discpie on Sejit. 2."); “ Delighted to read of fine showing of team against Lehigh yesterday. Please give my congratu lations to Coach and team—if oppor tunity affords, am looking forward to seeing game next Saturday.”

and showed the re.sults of an inten­sive training period under Coach Halas and his aides. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain “ Eddie” Marsh and the rest of the line who did yoeman service both on the of­fense and the defense. Captain Marsh, besides playing a stellar game in the lino, proved his worth to the Dragons when called upon to punt.

The backfield functioned smoothly when it came to forward passing, but the smooth running attack of last year seemed to be missing. This in all prol)ability was due to the crippled condition of some of the Dragons' star backfield performers.
