electing their managers scheduled to take effect next semester the new system gives let termen a slight majority in the vo ting however as elections are conducted under the ware prefer ential system the team will not necessarily win first place for the man it selects under the new arrangement the team the captain the manager and the coach all will rate their choices preferentially first choice will be rated as one second as two and all below that as three the team's selections for assistant managers will be multi plied by seven the captain's by one the manager's by one and the coach's by two in elections of managers the team's ratings will be multiplied by four the captain's by one the manager's by one and the coach's by two lowest rating to be picked when each rating is multiplied the candidate with the lowest number of votes will be elected in choosing their assistant managers the teams now have their prefer ences multiplied by seven rather than by three as before thus re ceiving over three times as much power as previously in the selec tion of a manager they have been granted twice as much weight on the other hand in assistant managerial elections the captain's vote has ben halved his power re mains the same in eletcion of man agers the coach retains the same weight in choosing the assistant managers but his vote will count twice as much in the election of managers the manager will get the same number of votes as before but his voice in elections will be dimmed by the increase of team and coach power those on the committee of o d k were franc burnett i

presentation of o libertad an american dance saga in three acts before an en thusiastic audience in the auditor ium of broughal high school this performance the fourth of the concert lecture series marked the first time that a dance troupe has appeared before a lehigh audien ce shawn commented after the per formance that the audience was unusually receptive two steady minutes of applause were given the dancers at the conclusion of the saga each member of the troupe receiving a curtain call especially liked by the audience was the suite of sport dances de picting the beauty and rhythm of some of the modern american sports decathlon danced by fred hearn represented 10 track and field events the rhythm of basket ball fencing boxing cheer lead ing and olympic banner-bearing were depicted by others of the company including barton mum aw harry coble frank delmar john delmar wilbur mccormack frank overlees and john schu bert while in college the dancers were all prominent in various sports including football swim ming basketball fencing track golf wrestling and tennis displays forty-niners other parts of the program es pecially liked by the audience were the dance of the forty-niners and the dance depicting the col lege campus of 1914 the dance of the forty-niners representing the rhythm of the gold rush camp was composed of a rowdy square dance and the celebration of a lucky gold strike the college campus of 1914 was illustrated by a group in the care-free manner of the pre-war period of the solo dances by shawn the audience seemed to like his representation of the war the best in the dance no man's land the rest of the troupe represented the abstract elements of modern war fare the return of the hero was a bitter satire on the plight of the wounded soldier after his home-coming the whole saga represented the history of north america from the time of the aztecs and also the future shawn believes that he can impress idealism in the minds of people through the medium of the dance officers selected by town group council meeting to be held on thursday night town group sections c d j and x completed the elections of sec tion officers when they met in drown

three constitutional amendments that will centralize more power in the hands of student government the first stipulates that any member of a joint faculty-student committee will be empowered to refer a problem to arcadia before definite action is taken by that committee the second amendment gives arcadia the power to instruct stu dent committee members how to vote in effect these changes will bring the opinions of a larger group into the solutions of lehigh's most con troversial questions the standing committees that will be affected by the change are the board of publications the stu dent activities committee the stu dent clubs committee and the drown hall house committee proposed by heckman a third amendment provides that arcadia may refer problems to representative campus organiza tions to determine the sentiment of those groups their opinions will be taken into consideration by arcadia the changes accepted were pro posed by a special committee headed by henry t s heckman arts 39 among other business handled by arcadia was the allotment of 35 to repair two ping pong tables in drown hall and to provide for one new table it was also voted that 35 should be allotted for ventilating the drown hall dark room of the camera club a change in the quorum provis ion of arcadia's constitution also was made upon the suggestion of dr claude g beardslee faculty adviser it was decided to deter mine a quorum upon the basis of student representation alone although dr beardslee has a vote in arcadia he usually does not exercise it under the change he will still have sufferage but it wil be easier for arcadia to collect a quorum pi delt to initiate beaver chapter 10 members of lehigh club to take part ten members of the lehigh chapter of pi delta epsilon nation al
