crazy and thereby became the goat for the senior offered to bet him that for 2 and the price of a pair of skates he would skate back and forth from school for a week more wagers made the deal was made and when they came back o the house sev eral more bets were until bayer stood to make enough to entertain his girl royally kidding spurred him on and two days later he came home with a brand new pair of skates would he have courage to do it his bro thers wondered whether he would be light-headed enough to try it he was for the next day he skated to school carried his skates from class to class and finally skat ed bavk he kept it up long enough to win his bets later on being asked what he was going to do with the skates he answered that he intended to buy another pair for his girl and so save enough money to have her down twice but oh pernicious influence this week two freshmen bought skates and now they are to be seen skat ing on delaware aevnue what price love we have seen many good men spend their last dime on the light of their heart but here is the case of a man who hacing spent school allowance dur ing the summer gambles off his dignity as a senior in exchange for a few dollars

through the campus to his classes in christmas-saucon hall they wondered why he was not wearing a dink begins at station it all happened one night down at the lehigh valley station when two students were watching the toronto roll in and to one of them was suggested the idea of rolling to school and somehow making some money out of it mu singly he spoke of trains of wheels transportation walking

c adolph glassgold de scribes relation of crit ic to artist in lecture the fact that the meeting of the spectator and the artist is no more a casual matter today than it was in the past was brought out by c adolph glassgold a member of the staff of the whitney museum when he spoke on the spectator meets the artist last night in packard auditorium one hundred fifty persons attend ed the lecture which was illustrated by slides of paintings in possession of the museum mr glassgold was introduced by garth a howland head of the department of fine arts if the journalist - reviewer does little else he at least advises one of the current exhibitions stimu lates a curiosity about art and pro vokes parlor conversation said mr glassgold but the critic the dealer and the journalist-reviewer bear a great deal of influence on ihe mind of the spectator does not find everything the spectator does not find every thing that is brought out by the critics and others that influence their minds it is better for the spec tator to formulate his own opin ions than to rely on the reactions of others a spectator with a rig idly preconceived notion as to what is a good painting and what is bad is bound to test the product by slo gan rather than by performance art in the last 50 years has be come increasingly more experimen tal and individual thus resulting in abstract art the first american ab

on a basis of 327 points or a 7.6 per cent increase over 1933 the median for this year is 215 points against 190 points last year the lowest score this year is 60 points compared to 42 points in 1933 both this year and last year one person in each class received a perfect score test is criterion these tests are an excellent crit erion of scholastic success profes sor ford says the records of past years show that students in the highest 20 per cent in these tests make good marks with reasonable application those in the lowest 20 per cent can pass with hard work and keen application the success of the majority of the students who are in the middle 50 per cent de pends on the individual's applica tion or indifference during his col lege course as sufficient ability is shown to be present although it may not be put to use all freshmen interested in their results in the tests may see any member of the committee on men tal hygiene during consultation hours or by appbintment each member

benjamin l miller head of the department of geology spoke on nature's preparation of the le high valley for man last thurs ! day evening at the jewish com munity center of bethlehem he mentioned in the course of his address the many materials with which nature had endowed the le high valley such as building stone iron ore cement materials slate clay zinc ore and water power and how they were used there are still many industries in the neighboring region he ex plained which still market this building stone although the mining of iron ore has completely died out the cement and steel plants here are the most famous and extensive in this country as both these in dustries had their origin in the val ley there were at one time about 150 industries engaged in produc tion of these two products in the immediate vicinity clay and zinc ores also have been worked but not to any large degree one outstanding reason why all these industries have grown up in this region dr miller says has been the large supply of cheap wa ter power many streams flow into the lehigh river and each of these has had its own little hydroelectric station it is estimated that over 100 such power plants existed at one time although the number is con siderably less now 13 still unexamined dr bull sets oct 12 for rest of physical tests all but 13 of the 1323 men reg istered at the university have had
