mailed and 1800 notices indicating students deficiencies were sent to department heads and living group heads although the present sys tem of issuing reports invented by dean c m mcconn when he came to lehigh in 1923 has been in vo gue at lehigh for more than four years it has ever been a source of wonder to students and faculty members that this task can be ac complished in such a short period of time other schools require at least three weeks in which to do this work dean g b curtis and p e schwartz 24 assistant registrar were in charge of the work and were assisted by 28 honor students

sometime next week in chapel the initiation banquet will be held in the hotel bethlehem shortly before christmas holidays it seems to me there are two de plorable aspects of this incident first that those students if they were students who damaged the street car and committed other de predations were not caught and ar rested so that they could receive suitable punishment in the police court and further punishment at the hands of the university second that having failed to catch the real culprits the police gathered in and in some cases manhandled a group of other students who were appar ently guilty of no substantial of fense including several who had come voluntarily to the municipal building to make inquiries about other students and who were arrest ed in the building itself with no charges whatever and were in sev eral cases clubbed or struck the university is as stro.ngly op posed to lawlessness or destruction of property by students as the police or any citizen can be and is preparj ed to punish such offenses more se verely than the court can but the university authorities can hardly avoid sharing the resentment felt by the students at the indiscrim inate arrests and

leys at the north end felt the effects of the student spirit windows were broken trolley poles were released and caps were stolen before the par ade moved past the cars all along the route traffic was held up and motorists forced to blow their horns wherever the horn was not used the auto was violently rocked and shaken until the motorist sur rendered and touched the horn but ton although small cars suffered most a large bus on main street was rocked until the driver started his horn in the meantime students collected signs and red lights from building operations at the hotel bethlehem the

probationers receive notices present-day conditions in india and the orient were vividly por trayed by professor miller of the mining engineering department last night in his talk at the south side presbyterian church 4'the orient has always seemed to most of us a land of mystery of intrigue and dark superstition and perhaps of splendor declared dr miller and as we delve into its mysticism we find much of interest and much which contradicts our present ideas of life in the for east according to dr miller japan has not the antagonistic feeling against the united states that is popularly supposed on the con trary she is friendly^to the extreme to her american guests and always shows the utmost courtesy patriotism is greatly emphasized by the japaneses their country means everything to them in fact patriotism could almost be called their dominating trait of character such a state of affairs always tends toward national unity the japanese almost above all others want to be friends of the americans said dr miller china in many respects is the direct opposite of japan according to dr miller no natoinal feeling exists and all attempts to unite china under one government have failed lack of modern facilities such as railroads and other means of rapid transportation and the general backwardness of the people have made such a task practically impossible dr miller described at length the conditions prevailing in india and china at the present time attribut ing the direct cause of the wretch ednes sof india's people to hindu ism at the conclusion of the talk slides were shown illustrating va rious phases of oriental life dr george morris smith suc cessor to the late dr charles f aikens who died in june 1927 as president of susquehanna univer sity was inducted into

afternoon but he continued when they willfully go out and destroy prop erty we have to protect the prop erty holders chief halteman was not in his of fice friday evening when the ar rests were made so was unable to give any information about what happened at the police station he said however that he was told that students had stopped a trolley car on fourth street near the globe theatre and attacked the motor man ripping the badge from his hat they also broke some windows in the trolley car for which the traction company has presented a bill for 51 i do not understand said the chief why the students don't put their heads together and find a way to stop this destruction of property if officer achey had not been at the second street ramp of the bridge to replace the wooden horses which the students took away there would have been a bad accident there were ditches in the street three feet deep we don't mind he continued assuringly how much noise the fellows make or how much room they take up in the streets but when they destroy property we can't do anything but lock them up when asked if the students would be allowed to have another parade next year he replied oh yes just the same as ever the annual tug-of-war between freshmen and sophomores of tem ple university was fought today twenty students representing each class fill participate under the su pervision of the blue key

easton in the fourth quar ter of the annual brown-maroon football classic bob harris who relieved roland elliott in the le high backfield completed a pass to sam hall lehigh wingman on la fayette's 32-yard line and three plays later directed the ball into the very shadows of the maroon goal where bob many lehigh basketball star playing the end position leap ed skyward to grab it out of the hands of three lafayette men and jog five yards for the first touch down scored against lafayette since 1921 then with lehigh again in possession of the ball on their own 31-yard line with two and one half minutes to play three more aerial efforts spun from the long arm of harris in rapid succession into the waiting arms of art david owitz produced the second touch down for the largest score piled up against lafayette since the month the armistice was signed in 1918 by playing heads-up football and fighting on to the last with 38 points rolled up against them and the bells of lafayette's old south college waiting to be rung lehigh came to prove herself just as worthy as any of lafayette's strong opponents by crossing the maroon goal twice for the first legitimate scores of the season against lafayette not by the interception of forward passes or the picking up of opposing team's fumbles but by straight strategi cal austy tate football as 15,000 spectators filed out of the college hill

between the uprights morrison substituting for pur sell tallied the only six-pointer of the first half when he took el liott's punt in midfield and raced through the entire lehigh team for a touchdown local players star hall and many who proved their mettle in bringing down passes and tubby miller who time and again opened holes for the lehigh backs were outstanding in the lehigh line while van blarcom davidowitz and harris starred in the backfield davidowitz brought lehigh co horts to their feet when in the sec ond quarter after morrison had re gistered the second score for la fayette he took thompson's kick off advanced the ball ten yards behind splendid interference and then suddenly forsook his team mates entirely by swerving to the left and shifting and dodging car vied the ball down along the side line to the lafayette 45-yard mark continued on page three however davvy's beautiful play that seemed surely to herald a brown and white touchdown went for naught when morrison inter cepted davidowitz's forward pass on his 35-yard line to race 19 yards lehigh's line again withstood the lafayette battering ram in the third quarter and thompson dropped back to the 28-yard line
