presidency over arcadia decides abolishes first year head to reduce freshman politics college meet friday the abolition of a freshman pres ident pro teampore was affected by the arcadia in their meeting mon day night in drown hall this pol icy was passed with the idea of eliminating politics as much as pos sible until the freshmen were bet ter acquainted with the function ing of college life and all its idio cyncracies further reasons were given by president j d benedict that the election for a permanent president would be enacted more smoothly if under the guidance of men familiar with college elections and that founders day sports would move quicker and easier if under the direct guidance of the arcadia and not by the respective class presidents acting for arcadia this move follows

60 students are unable to swim according to professor bartlett in charge of the physical education portion of the examination the number includes 30 freshmen only 3 percent of all students failed new system used professor bartlett completely re vised the examination by the phy sical education department by di viding the men into types slender medium and heavy a slender man for example is expected to have more curves and protuberances than a heavy man he might have been rated poor in some respects where he is now rated normal the degree of difference between good and poor is emphasized more now than formerly before the posture rating was good fair and poor but now it is a b c and d the students were divided into three groups the same as formerly men in group 1 being in perfect physical condition and ready for anything 192 students are in group 2 these men can enter into most forms of athletics but have some physical defects such as curvature of the spine or poor posture these defects may be corrected by suit able exercises there are 23 men in group 3 suffering from such ills as infantile paralysis and her nia and can be helped by restricted exercises in the gymnasium bull

summer camps are successful engineers take survey work at mineola and saylor lakes lehigh students will drink no more beer in bethlehem if the dras tic measures to be taken by super intendent of police fred trafford are successful with several manslaughter cases on the court records as evidence of drunken driving by students the police are determined to prevent re petition of these occurrences by preferring charges against any stu dent operating a motor vehicle with in the city limits of bethlehem while under the influence of intox icating beverages these drastic measures are be ing taken said fred trafford to protect the students from serving possible prison sentences paying large fines and probably being ex pelled from school to stop accidents the effect on the life of a stu dent with a record of manslaughter is obvious not only from the so cial standpoint but from the fin ancial standpoint it is to stop this grief that we are adopting such a policy of action stated mr traf ford to aid the police in their duty all hotels clubs saloons and places where beverages are sold have been warned not to sell liquor to stu dents whether they are from le high lafayette or moravian or any other place failure to heed this warning will mean immediate pad locking of the establishment by federal authority by no means treat this policy lightly for action will be taken to prosecute all violations warned superintendent trafford drivers may be stopped as an example any student driv ing in the city limits apparently under the influence of intoxicating liquors can be stopped by an offi cer and at his discretion the man will be taken to the police station where formal charges will be pre ferred the officers have full au thority from me to use their judg ment in these cases drunken driv ers will no longer be tolerated in the city of bethlehem stated the superintendent of police in regards to my attitude in this matter any constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated said mr trafford mcconn adds approval dean mcconn has added his ap proval to the matter it's a fine idea stated the dean and it will do a lot of good a lot of this so called beer is much stronger that the brew of yesterday judging by its effects it will also make a dif ference as far as driving is con cerned president charles russ richards is heartily in accord with the police commissioner's orders believing the benefits derived will be apprecia tive it was stated today 500 new books now in library fifty-three students of lehigh university are receiving financial aid during the current year from three trust funds the income from which is available for loans the maximum amount of aid for any student is his tuition fee the three funds which make this aid possible are the president's fund the coxe memorial fund and the frank williams fund the pres ident's fund was established about 45 years ago the coxe memorial fund was established over 30 years ago by mrs eckley b coxe in memory of her husband a trustee of the university the frank wil liams fund was established by re quest of frank williams e m 87 who died in october 1900 the to tal endowment of these three funds is about 225,000 as repayments are made to the coxe fund and the president's fund by former beneficiaries both the principal and the interest of the notes are immediately available for loans to present students however repayment of loans from frank williams fund by terms of his will are added to the endowment of that fund the funds are administered by the committee on scholarship and loans consisting of n m emery chairman dean c m mcconn;and w r okeson treasurer of the uni versity any student who gives sat factory evidence of his ability to pay his expenses may apply for a loan from these funds however a loan is granted as a rule only to a student who has made a good rec ord in the university the summer of 1910 marked an important event in the history of the department of mining engineer ing at lehigh university it was then that the erection of the build ing known as the eckley b coxe mining laboratory was completed and the installation of the machin ery and other equipment took place the mining department was one of the first to be established in connection with the founding of the university but from the beginning to the date above mentioned no lab oratory facilities were available for the teaching of this important branch of engineering this event was therefore a red letter day for the department the equipment was furnished by the allis-chambers company of milwaukee wis and was in many respects a duplicate of that sup plied by the same company for the united states bureau of mines test ing plant erected in manila p i it was an up to date laboratory at that time and was described in de tail in volume xlii pages 670 675 of the transactions of the am erican institute ot mining and metallurgical engineers by prof joseph daniels formerly associate professor of mining engineering at lehigh and now professor of min ing engineering and metallurgy at the college of mines university of washington seattle 1910 machines obsolete in 1910 laboratory equipment of this nature consisted of the smaller sizes of standard mining and mill ing machinery much of which still occupies a place in the modern lab oratory on the other hand a con siderable part of the old equipment has become obsolete in present day practice and much new apparatus is required to meet modern condi tions particularly in ore dressing and coal preparation the present year marks a very significant event in the history of the mining engineering department at lehigh in the new construction program now well in progress this will consist of the building of two new reinforced concrete floors practically doubling the present floor area giving a new laboratory room above the present main room and a room above the lower front floor in the design of the building as erected io 1909-10 ample height was allowed primarily for architecural reasons and this feature now per mits the expansion in floor area without the necessity of the out ward enlargement of the building some of the new equipment in mining will include a model mine fan by the jeffrey manufacturing company of columbus ohio enabl ing the students to make ventila tion measurements also a duplex air compressor by ingersoll-rand to permit actual operation of rock drills it is in the field of coal prepara tion and ore dressing during the past 20 years that perhaps the most significant improvements have tak en

ways been considered one of the rare treats around bethlehem to be fortunate enough to see a professor wheeling a baby carriage much in the same of an ordinary man but to have six carriage conscious pro fessors plying the streets at the same time is an event of the first magnitude of course each and ev ery professor thinks his child the best such bragadaccio is natural enough however a more serious menace to the well known peace and quietude of bethlehem has rear ed its ugly head it seems that in addition to the usual squabbling among proud fathers there has aris en some dissension among the par ents themselves prof and mrs ernst b schulz for example were at swords points last night as to the inherited ten dencies of their baby constance elizabeth whose birthday was june 2 mrs schulz
