com ments upon the new system of registration upper-classmen and freshmen have met upon the common plane of ignorance and the former have displayed the least amount of relish this new system of register ing in one continuous process is but one of the many phase 3 of routine work over which the new office of the dean shall have con trol although an innovation to the older students it fills a long felt want the duties of the new dean might be divided into three sep arate groups first full atten tion to the necessary academic machinery of admission regis try records reports and peti tions by this it may be seen that the work formerly execut ed by the secretary of the facul ty has been turned over to the dean it is the intention of dean mcconn to have instantly avail able full information regarding each student those facts relat ing to scholastic status secondly the dean is to act in an advisory capacity to any stu denl whj bis become involved in difficulties pertaining either to scholastic or personal affairs dean mcconn wishes to empha size the fact that while serving in the capacity as an integral part of the service bureau his office and he himself are ade quately equipped through past experience to solve those diffi culties in which students are prone to become involved third and last because of the complete and close contact which the office of the dean will be able to maintain with the student body the dean is to act in an advisory capacity to the presi dent of the university in educa tional matters too much emphasis can not be placed upon the importance of the second of those capacities enumerated above dean mc conn himself has had a wide ex perience in meeting boys and young men and has a most com plete understanding of the best angle of approach in solving those difficulties which from time to time every student must meet no student needs an invitation to the dean's office — any student is free to seek advice from dean mcconrils greater knowledge and wider experience at any time telephone numbers of living groups st paul's society plans reception the st paul's society com posed of episcopal students and all others interested

last wednesday afternoon candidates for the lehigh uni versity lacrosse squad reported to manager j boyle 24 in the trophy room of taylor gymnas ium candidates for the position of assistant manager reported at the same time quite a number of last year's varsity squad reported and others will come out at a later date as they are now on the foot ball squad freshman material is rather light this year and it is hoped that more of the class of 27 will come out for the sport very lew men have ever seen a lacrosse game before com ing to lehigh and the only way to appreciate the game is to come out and learn the fundi mentals preliminary practice will start in a short time and will consist mainly of passjq and stickwork all men who intend to come out should do so at once before all sticks have been issued alumni memorial nears completion football practice in taylor stadium has now reached the secret stage wednesday after noon was devoted to a secret practice of punting and in gen eral handling of the ball the ffrst scrimmage of the season was held on tuesday coach baldwin lectured for a short time and then sent his men out on the field for a hard hour and a quarter's session with the scrubs last year the coach devoted his time mainly to de veloping the wonderful defensive that held lafayette to a no touchdown game and this year it seems that he is pushing of fensive tactics all but the last few minutes the varsity prac ticed an offensive game against the scrubs since the scrimmage was the first of the season coach bald win changed his line-up very frequently in order to get a line on the merits of his men and also to test out the freshman material most of the men play ing on the line were veterans milton moth who was out all last season will probably play at his old position of center cap tain bill springsteen was as signed a place at tackle during the scrimmage and the indica tions are that he will remain there for the season the other men that the coach assigned to the line were walker at left end merrill at left tackle and lewis at left guard hoffman played guard on the other side spring steen held down the tackle posi tion and burke played at end the principal candidates out for quarterback position were astarita levin and raleigh as taria is a new man for the var sity squad and it looks as though he will put up a strong fight for the position astarita played on his class team last season and played a very strong game raleigh is a big 170 pounder from baltimore poly technic institute and shows great promise at the position lewin will be remembered from last year when he played a great game unfortunately he was forced out of the game after the first game of the season and was not called upon until the lafayette game coach baldwin's backfield line-up consisted of leßoy brown at fullback hayes at left half back and stevens at right half back brown is a product of allentown high while hayes is a freshman coming from the choate school poss greer and jack storer both last year's men did not get into the scrimmage because they report ed too late in the course of the scrimmage levitz stevens and jacobs were put in as sub stitutes in the backfield mc crouldrick was substituted in the line as were evans a tackle who comes from adelphi aca demy brooklyn cannon an end'from blair and another end scott from catholic high philadelphia the stars among the scrub team were cheel who was out for the squad last year dietrich from bethlehem high and schultz a tackle who hails from bethlehem prep first burr will appear
