A Weekly "Stute "?

HE STUTE is gratified at the interest evidenced in the publication of the special edition of last Saturday, showing in exact form what the paper would be, if published weekly. Though all the comments have not been favorable, the very fact that so many of The STUTE'Sreaders have taken the pains to express their opinion upon the projected changes, shows a live interest in the publication and its welfare, that is most pleasing to the editors.

What the outcome of last week's experiment will be, can not yet be announced with certainty, The conln1ents that have come to THESTUTEBoard, have been almost without exception favorable to the publicaton of a weekly, in the form of the trial number, from faculty and alumni, as well as from the student body. If a weekly is to be published, many readjustments, including an increase in the size of the Board, will be required, and until these can be duly considered, decision will be witheld. A few of the letters regarding the change, t-hat have been received in the last week, are published as being typical of the concensus of opinion encountered by the present Board.

To the Editor of The Stute :-

I think that the change made in THE STUTEis the greatest step taken since THESTUTEwas first issued. We can now truly say we have a college paper. I showed the special number issued Saturday, October 17, to two graduates and they were very well pleased. So I say keep it up. C. A. JOERGER.'10.

To the Editor of The Stufe:-

I received this morning a copy of THESTUTEof Saturday, October 17, and note that you wish the readers to express their ideas as to the advisability of a weekly or bi-weekly paper.

It looks to me as if it would be a very fine thing if the paper could be run weekly, especially during the football and lacrosse season. There might be a dull time in the middle of the year

[Persons having notices which they wish to appear in the Calendar will please leave same in THESTUTEmail box in the lobby by the Monday preceding publication.]

when a bi-weekly paper would be sufficient. However, this would work out itself. A weekly paper has a big adavantage in that you can discuss subjects which are very much alive, whereas in the bi-weekly paper the matter is often settled before the paper comes out with the article in it.

The new style of the edition appeals to me more than the old one, as it seems more businesslike in appearance. I think that all the Alumni should be glad to see the lively interest which is being evinced in the college activities.

Very truly yours,

H. A. PRATT.

[The letter printed below was not written for publication, but it contains such a lucid discussion of the weekly plan, that we give it to our readers. The writer is a former Editor-in-Chief of THESTUTE,and is therefore a competent judge.]

I I Your plan of publishing a 9xl2%inch, 4-page issue has my most hearty approval. I can see no valid objection to the change. The object of the founders of the publication in selecting the present form and size, was to provide a handy paperone that could be carried around in the pocket-at the same time a paper that could be permanently preserved.

The two chief desiderata of a newspaper, it seems to me, are the accuracy of its news and its freshness. By the suggested change THESTUTEwould not sacrifice its reputation in the first respect, while greatly remedying its weakness in the second.

'I I note that the type space of the new form would be 9 x 4x 12Y-i^450 square inches as against 7 x 4 x 16=448 square inches, practically the same. "

Wesleyan 16, Stevens 0.

On by far the hottest day of the season, the Red and Gray met defeat, 16 to 0, at the hands of Wesleyan, on Andrus Field at Middletown, last Saturday. All of the points were scored in the latter part of the second half, but barring this breaking down of the Stevens defense, the team made a very creditable showing. Stevens outpunted the Wesleyan team, but on line plays, end runs and in running back punts, the locals were superior. But their greatest advantage, afld to this the loss of the game was probably due, was the large number of substitutes at their disposal. In fact, the day was so warm, that the showing made by the two teams can hardly be taken as a criterion of their relative strength. The forward pass was only tried twice and both times with disaster to the side using it.

At the beginning of the first half, the Middletown team kicked off, and for some time the play was in Stevens' territory. After kicking out of danger several times, the ball again reached the 15-yard line, and here a touchdown would have been counted against Stevens, had not Wesleyan been penalized. To gain a this large loss, the quarter tried a forward pass. He stood waiting, as if undecided what to do, and then jtiggled the ball into Ryan's hands. The latter ran seventy-five yards toward Stevens' goal before he was caught. This was the nearest the Castle Pointers came to scoring, as the ball was lost on downs, just before the half was up. The second period started off with the ball in Wesleyan's territory, but Stevens failed to score. Here the strength of the home team's new men began to tell. A big penalty for side-line coaching gave them their start, and shortly after they scored. The two other touchdowns came very easily.

COLLEGE CUT UPS.

Last Tuesday Gentle Jane

. From the Old Board's Standpoint.

To the Editor of The Stiite :-

In connection with the decision of the &?~kBoard to change the scheme of numerals on the Link, the following suggestions are made with a view to opposing such action : There will be many arguments put forth in favor of such a change. But in the present progressive era of Stevens, with every effort being made to establish and preserve college customs, it would seem that the preservation t>f a custom of eighteen years' standing should overshadow the arguments regarding recognition for work expended in compounding the copy, pictures, advertisements, etc. What more recognition and notoriety could be wanted than the fact that the Link is edited by the junior class, plainly stated on the title page ? Also the pictures of the class teams, individual pictures and biographies give the honor due.

Other Boards have had this matter before them and have gladly stood by the old customs. It is true that many of the college annuals are published under the numerals of the class which edits the book. The Link is not only a class book, but our only annual and it is only fair to the Boards that have gone before and done their duty, to uphold them in their efforts to retain our college customs.

It is mainly regarding the right of eight men chosen from one class, to change a custom affecting all future classes, that opposition is raised. The Link is a college, not a class publication, and is dependent for its success to a large extent upon the subscriptions received from each separate class. In view of this fact, does it not seem only fair and just that the student body at large should have a voice as to this change, if any change is to be made ?

This is a question really important to future junior classes and if the matter is brought to a vote of the student body, let every man vote as he thinks he should for the good of his college. Don't let the desire to drag your numerals into the lime-light overrun your judgment in a matter that is for the good or harm of the Institute.

THE

Victory for Tennis Team.

The Stevens tennis team, represented by Draudt and Stewart, defeated Pratt Institute at Brooklyn last Saturday. Two singles matches and one doubles match were played, the Stevens players winning every set. Summary of results : Draudt defeated Banks, 6-3, 6-3 ; Stewart defeated Meyers, 6-2, 6-4 ; Draudt and Stewart defeated Elliot and Movers, 6-2, 11-9.

LINK BOARDOF 1908.

The Link '10-Year 1909.

To the Editor of The Stute:-

Ninety per cent. or more of the colleges and universities of this country which publish their year books by the junior class, bear the numerals of that class and not the date of publication. The reason for this nomenclature is that the financial risk and work falls practically entirely upon the class issuing the books. So it is here at Stevens : the junior class assumes all financial risk, $25 being merely requested from the other classes, and the individual portraits, biographies, class teams, sophomore banquet and calculus cremation pictures are of that class and not the senior class, as they had their Link the year before. In consideration of these facts is it not fit that the class to which the book means so much should have their numerals on its cover? The senior class opposes the proposed change in the reading of the Link name on the ground of breaking a custom, but we feel that personal reasons influence their fair judgment more than this accusation presents.

Changes necessarily take place in the development of any enterprise and when they are for the best they are not only permissible but advisable. The present board proposes to the student body a modification in the wording of the Link cover which will not only be a benefit to this year's annual but to all succeeding Links. The proposed name is as follows :

The Link '10

Year 1909.

The words "Year 1909" will be stamped in the lower right hand corner of the side and also on the backbone of the cover, and thus the chain of Links will not be broken. The senior who writes an article in this number of THESTUTEin opposition to this one is probably not exactly acquainted with the proposition we are proposing, as it differs from our first one. We claim the above nomenclature does not materially break a custom though we admit it modifies one to the extent that coming classes, as well as our own, will have their numerals on the Link which their own efforts has produced and not on some other volume.

In order to fairly decide the matter, the board will leave it to the vote of the student body, which will take place next Monday in the library, at noon and at four o'clock. Every student is requested to vote and we assure each class, that it will receive its just and due representation in the coming Link, regardless of its name.

The following is merely a short list of college year books, which bear the numerals of the junior class :-Cornellian ; Princeton, Bric-a-Brac; Palladium, Universitya of Michigan

The Scarlet Letter, Rutgers; Blue and Gold, University of Calif01 nia ; Hullabaloo, Johns Hopkins ; Badger, University of Wi; sonsin ; Garnet, Union College ; Olio, Amher-+ . - 'lr-'- ""-a-

Engineering Society Inspects "Rotterdam."

On Saturday afternoon last, the members of the Engineering society, together with several members of the faculty, iuspected the new great Holland-America liner, Rotterdam. More than fifty members of the society took advantage of the opportunity to see every part of the big ship. The greater portion of the time was spent in the engine room, where, thanks to the lucid explanations by Prof. Furman, some valuable information was obtained. The party was free to inspect any part of the ship. Strange though it may seem, the room in which the refrigerating plant was located, was the warmest of any visited. All the conveniences afforded the passengers were also shown. In a short time the society will visit one of the new Cunard turbine ships, and a good chance to compare the two types of vessel will be given members.

A. A. Meeting.

A meeting of the Athletic Association was held on Friday, October 16, in Dr. Wendell's room. It was decided to hold but one inter-class lacrosse game this fall. A recon~n~endationwas made that managers of varsity teams have a key to the bulletin boards. Nomirfations for assistant lacrosse and assistant baseball managers were made. For assistant lacrosse managers, Mauger, B. V. Pfeiffer, Leask and Polhemus'were nominated. Scully, Mauger, Jackson and Hawthorne were nominated for assistant baseball managers.

Tennis Tournament.

All the matches in the first round, lower half, have been completed. The teams in the upper half who have yet to play their first round match are requested not to hold up the other men by deferring play any longer.

The following matches were decided last week : Strong and Mills defeated Street and Humphreys, 6-1, 5-7, 6-1 ; Meigs and O'Gorman defeated Anderson and Coit, 6-1, 6-4.

Judge and Jury.

At a recent meeting of the junior class the Student Self Government rules were accepted with certain suggestions. It was decided that if the juniors adopt self government, the Board should have the power to judge the penalty to be inflicted upon a guilty student, leaving the execution to the faculty. The amendment, as passed by the class, with regard to this point, readsas follows :

That the Board shall not only decide whether the accused student is guilty or not, but also, in the case of the former, determine the penalty, leaving the execution to the faculty. If the faculty, after investigating the case, does not agree with the decision of the Board, a joint meeting, composed of five members of the faculty and five members of the Board, shall be called by the President of the Institute and that the rules governing the voting of this joint committee shall be identical with those of the student Board. The decision of this joint committee shall be final and must be executed by the faculty.

"The faculty members of the joint committee shall be the President and the Deans of the four classes. The student members of the joint committee shall be the Chairman of the respective classes on the Board with one or two others from the Board, according as the freshman class has or has not elected its con]mittee. At joint meetings there shall always be present an equal number of. faculty and student members, and voting shall be done by ballot. '

6 If, for important reasons, any faculty or student member of the joint committee cannot be present, a substitute from the faculty or the Board, as the case may be, shall fill the vacancy." In order that amendments may be made to the rules, the following article was passed : These rules may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the joint conlnlittee of the faculty and student members, before men tioned. Such amendments shall only be made upon the recom mendation of the faculty or any one class of the Institute. Amendments must be presented to all classes for consideration before being voted upon, and each class shall have the power to instruct its chairman to vote for or against proposed amendments. "

The 1910 committee appointed to discuss these suggestions with the faculty is as follows : Cunningham, Kassandei McQuillen, B. V. Pfeiffer and Platt.

The rules drawn up to govern the c were passed by the seniors at their last cordance with a provision in these rules, gether with the rules of the flag rush. , *,

JOHN H. PEPER, JR.,

Editorial.

An unfortunate condition has arisen through the desire of the Link Board to disregard the college custom and name the 1909 annual "The Link of 1910." We present on The Link another page communications setting forth the arTangle. guments on both sides. Certainly The Link can not afford to forfeit the support of any considerable portion of the student bodv, and just as surely the whole college wishes to feel that The ink belongs to all, and is not a creation merely of the junior class. While not attempting to pass on the relative merits of the arguments pro and con, it appears to us that some method by which all students could voice their opinion would be fair. Such a method has been agreed to by the fink Board, and we urge every student to vote conscientiously on Monday, after reading the statements of both sides, as given on another page. Then, however the vote may go, let everyone support The Li?zk of the current year, regardless of its secondary title.

We fail to note that any action has been taken by the freshman class towards procuring: the usual freshman caps. The attention of the first-year men is called to the follow1912 ing extract from "College Customs" in the HandCaps. I1 book: To wear while in Hoboken, black caps with green buttons, three-fourths inch in diameter, from one month after college opens until the Christmas holidays."

Of course 1912 does not intend to slight this custom, but we

would say for the guidance of the freshman officers, that it takes some time to obtain caps, after an order is sent to the manufacturers, and that in consequence immediate action would be wise,

Notice has been given of the granting by the faculty of a system of "cuts" or allowed absences." The action has been taken at the request of a special committee of the The Cut senior class, and, if the desire of the professors, to System. whom the matter\ was referred, is followed, the system will be only a temporary one, applying to the juniors and seniors for a year. It therefore behooves the upperclassmen to use judgment in taking advantage of the new privilege. Abuse will result not only in preventing an extension of the system to include the lower classes, but will curtail the freedom which the older men are about to enjoy.

Gifts to the Library.

Professor Kroeh has given the Library seventeen volun~esof the Report of the U. S. Commissioner of Education, thus making the library set complete from 1887 to 1907. Prof. Kroeh has also given a complete set of Stevens Institute Announcements and Catalogues from 1871-1906. These are being bound and will make a valuable addition to the collection of Stevens publications.

The set of "Eccentrics" has been filled by Prof. Kroeh so that the volumes for 1885 and 1888 alone are missing. The Chi ' Psi fraternity has given a copy of the "~olt", 1886 and the ''Link of 1891". The Link Board of 1908 has presented the "Link of 1908". These recent gifts make the "Link" set corn plete excepting four volumes, 1894, '98, '99 and 1904

Change in Lacrosse Rules.

At a recent meeting of the Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associa tion in New York, the following addition was made to the rul~ book : "There shall be no change of players for, or in the extr: periods of a tie game except in case of injury to a player, wtrel the captain, whose player is not injured, may choose to drop ; man or allow a substitute for the injured player."

It was also decided that all .league games be officiated by referees, selected from a list of official referees, prepared by the Executive Board of the Association.

Musical Clubs.

This year the Orchestra and Mandolin Club will have the services of A. J. Weidt as director, while the Glee Club will r ably be under the direction of Mr. Danielson.

Faculty and Institute Notes.

Dr. Jacobus gave his first lecture to the present senior class on Thursday, October 15. He spent an hour in describing various forms of boilers and the elementary principles followed in their design, illuminating many points with examples from his own wide experience. The lecture was illustrated with Ian tern slides.

New regulations about making up overtime work are to be as follows :-The sophomores' regular hours are to be extended until 5 o'clock and during the extra hour they may make up any back work; but after the "Dean has made his report of those deficient, the work will be required to be done during this extra hour. The freshmen will have one hour a week overtime on Wednesdays from 12 to 1. It is so arranged that this overtime is 33% % of the total roster hours, so that it will not take too much time from other departments. Shop work, laboratory work and upper class work is to be made up Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 4.

Together with Prof. Pryor, Dr.Stillman has been making physical and chemical tests on bronze propeller blades used in the Isthmian Canal Con~missionservice. The object of these tests has been to deduce the chemical composition of a bronze which will increase the resistance of the blade to tortional action. Dr. Stillman has also been investigating the chemical properties of a large clay deposit at Petersburgh, Va., to ascertain its value for the manufacture of Portland Cement. Still another investigation of interest is under way, concerning the efficiency of a chemical, the use of which will entirely eliminate organic in]purities in drinking water. This chemical has never before been employed for such a purpose.

Prof. Kroeh is not to give the juniors scientific German in the future, though he has arranged to give this year's junior class a little of the subject. Hereafter it will be a second term sophomore subject. The seniors, this year, will not have the benefit of Professor Kroeh's special lectures, which many regarded as the most interesting part of the German course.

The optional Spanish class started October 12, and listened to a lecture on the origin of this language.

Prof. Ostrup has had a number of large drawings made, to illustrate different points in the lectures and give the students an idea of how the various members of structures should look Later on he will have a number of models for lecture purges-

During this summer Professor Furman spent several weeks in Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, inspecting well-known manufacturing plants. In addition to a large number of blue prints, he obtained over fifty different mechanical parts for sketching purposes. Among these is a handblower complete, from the Buffalo Forge Co. Some of the companies visited, which gave parts for sketching purposes, are: The American Blower Co., the Burrs Adding Machine Co., of Detroit, the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co., the Brown Hoisting Machine Co., the National Acme Co., the Electric Welding Products Co. and the E. R. Thomas Motor Co.

A recent gift to the Institute shops, and one much appreciated, is that of a monitor turret lathe, by Alfred Nathan, '90, Vice-president of the Nathan Mfg. Co., New York City. The machine has a swing of 18 inches, is 6 feet long, and includes a chaser bar for chasing threads. It will be especially valuable for demonstrating the advantages of the turret over thesingle engine lathe in the rapid production of duplicate parts by the action of a number and variety of tools used in quick succession. It is intended that each student taking the shop course shall have an opportunity to run the machine, going through exercises which will give an idea of its possibilities and time-saving features.

L. B. Jackson was elected Assistant Cheer Leader by a unanimous vote at a recent meeting of the junior class.

Seniors should not forget that on Wednesday October 28, there will be an opportunity for all of that grave and reverend body to fall off their dignity and be foolish. Get on your "happy rags" 1909, and have a good time.

Section A and B of the Senior Class will clash in a football game on next Wednesday afternoon after the 'Frolics." Butler will manage Section A while Capt. Kreitler and Mgr. Lippincott will guide the destinies of B. Both teams have good material on the squad and a lively scrimmage is bound to result.

Stevens Song Book.

The Song Book Committe, of which E. H. Peabody, '90, is chairman, has started to collect material for the book. An appeal is to be made to all former musical clubs leaders, for copy of songs popular during their timeat the Institute. The committi requests the assistance of undergraduates as well as of alumni.

Rules for Cane-Sprees. Tug-of-war and Tie-up.

The rules hereby submitted are as amended and passed by the upper classes :

Following old customs, the cane-sprees, the tug-of-war and the tie-up contests between freshman and sophomore classes shall be held two weeks after the flag rush. The committees appointed by the upper classes to conduct the flag rush of the same college year, shall also be in charge of the above mentioned events. The committee shall be responsible for the following : (a) 1. Preliminary to the contest : They shall select a strong- (manila) rope, 1 inch in diam.. , 100 ft. long; three cylindrical canes (1% in. diam., 3% ft. long, ash) carefully turned and smoothed ; thrice as many soft ropes (3-16 in. x4 ft.) as there are members of . the two lower classes. 2.

Neither Preps nor Academy, Score.

At Castle Point Field last Saturday morning-, the Preps played Newark Academy to a standstill, 0 to 0, in one of the most important games of the season. At first neither side gained until after an exchange of kicks, the Preps got the ball on Newark's 5-yard line on a forward pass, but fumbled before a touchdown was made. This is the only time either side came near scoring.

In the second half the Preps had rushed the ball to New, ark's 30-yard line when they lost it on a fumble. Here the Acadelay boys rushed it well back into the Stevens territory before they were forced to kick. From then on the ball was kept near the middle of the field.

The Preps' forward pass failed to work ; for every time it was tried Beger, of Newark, succeeded in nailing it. The lighter Academy team put up a great fight against the far heavier Preps. In fact, their showing was a big surprise. The line-up: PREPS. POSITION. NEWARKACADEMY.
