civil engineers to have sectional meet it may be interesting to the readers of the brown and white to be acquainted with a few things concerning bethle hem's hill-to-hill bridge and for this purpose we have gathered a few facts relative to it plans were culminated nearly nine years ago to substitute a modern bridge in place of the old covered one there were great difficulties in the way as seen by the fact that tentative plans were started a quarter or more a century ago and to solve the innumerable problems con tigent to its construction there were many men and many minds brought to bear through out the years during 1917 when the united states got into the world war the plans to erect the hill-to-hill bridge had to be deferred be cause of the rush of war work in all industries the rise of the cost of labor materials etc the revised bridge plans were approved by the public service commission on august 19 1918 and several hearings were heid at allentown and harrisburg one of the allentown hearings was on jan ig 1919 when the question of cost allotment was discixsaed with the railroari i * resentatives it was announced on this date that the probable cost would be 2,250,000 on february 25 1920 one bid for erecting a hill-to-hill bridge was received ; this from t l eyre philadelphia whose figure was 4,871,000 this bid was rejected and later new bids cal led for to be opened at harris burg on june 30 1921 on that date the bid of rodgers & hag erty inc of new york for 2 568,000 was the lowest received and on july 25 this firm receiv ed the contract work on the building of the bridge was started in august to be completed thirty months from that time since the be ginning work has been progres sing as well as could be expect ed and it is believed that it will be completed in may or june it is planned to have a gala ded ication on the fourth of july this year credit for the success of the big bridge plan is distributed over many years and among many citizens to relate all the ramifications of the bridge movement to tell in even hurri ed detail of all the forces brought to bear on the propo sition would take a volume the lehigh courtmen added another scalp to their string wednesday evening when they romped off with the strong tem ple team to the tune of 48 to 24 the first half was a real battle both teams running neck and neck the whole time and finishing with the tally at 16 to 13 in favor of the brown and white however in the second half the visitors lost their heads and allowed the lehigh five to run up fourteen points before they scored after that there was no holding the brown and white and never once did the philadelphians threaten the outstanding player of the game was undoubtedly smith of the brown and white he was placed in the game late in the first half and before the game was over had acquired ten baskets and two fouls to his record in the play smith wasj no slouch stopping some mean passes by the philadelphians and passing the ball with un canny speed and perfection to his team-mates weinstein started the game in whirlwind form and played a fair game throughout lingle also played his usual whirlwind attack and tore through temple

courtney showed excellent form the game opened fast and fu ripusly with gallagher and weinstein passing the ball hess drew the first blood of the even ing when he put in a foul gal lagher scored the

continent alumni bulletin issue out this week so many european college students are obliged to work during the day that many of the universities are open only in the evening in russia nearly eighty per cent and in central europe fifty percent of the students work for a living in addition to carry ing on their studies so reports the european student relief which is aiding needy students in seventeen countries some of the students work from eight to ten hours as day laborers before beginning to think about study states the report one finds medical stu dents shovelling coal during the day future lawyers and tech nical engineers clean streets and repair shoes to pay for their food and lodging others work as tailors waiters and laundrymen during the holidasy they work in the coal mines on farms or cutting down trees in the for ests this system of self-help among european students was developed by the european stu dent relief whose funds are contributed largely by american college students through the student friendship fund it has been worked out with the ap proval of the trade unions dur ing the past three years the or ganization has aided 105,000 students providing them with food clothing medicine and books it plans to extend its work during the coming year to reach thousands who otherwise would be obliged to withdraw from the universities for lack of funds senior

the affair mr p junkerfeld of mcclel lan and junkerfeld engineers and constructors of new york city will be the speaker of the evening mr junkerfeld has choosen as his subject the civil engineering features of the new power station at st louis this affords an excellent op portunity for those men inter ested in this field to meet a num ber of men who have had wide practical training in civil engi neering connections thus made may facilitate the obtaining of positions more suited to the in clinations of men who expect to take up this work after leaving college intercourse with these men might also help in the choice of the particular field of civil engineering to which the student is best adapted this is an opportunity therefore that should not be cast aside lehigh reserves to meet blair
