in the Administration of Stevens in favor of some sort c organization of the non-fraternity men, especially the con: muters, in ortier to bring them closer to the social life o the college. With the building of Jacobus Hall, a large nun ber of students were enabled to live on the campus, but still larger group is unassociated with any social organizz tion at Stevens. In Jacobus Hall there were several downstairs rooms a located for a Jacobus Club to supply this need, and Presiden Davis and Vice-president Creese stood ready to back full any reasonable plan for such a society. No move for organ zation developed among the students, and nothing more wa accomplished at that time. Plans have now been institute and the topic will be brought up before the Student Counc by its President, Henry Barchi, ’39. The advantages of membership in such a group should k apparent to commuters; besides the social aspect, it woul enable commuting students to change clothes or leave thej books at Jacobus Hall, without the inconvenience of gettin into the “A” building after the six P. M. closing time. A Jacobus Hall there are game rooms and a lunch-room wher commuters who bring lunches can obtain a hot drink i winter. Commuters could pass the time profitably and enjoyabl at Jacobus Hall if staying late for an evening basketball gamc SES meeting, etc. Jacobus Club athletic teams could be 01 ganized to compete with fraternity and dormitory team: These forms of activity, and others to be later undertake1 ’ would go far to securing the full cooperation of commutei in the extra-curricular activities of Stevens and would con prise another unit to bring a large portion of the student bod closer t o the school. It is expected that a call will be sent out in the very nea future for enrollment of those interested in this vital ne’ student activity.

T

HE soccer team has had two weeks to build up for the Haverford game this afternoon. All except the Seniors, that is-having had me week on the Senior Trip, they probably needed a week to get back to where they were before the trip started. The Haverford team which the Stute soccermen will encounter today in Pennsylvania defeated Princeton 4-3 a few weeks ago; the defeat was Princeton’s first in two years of League play. Last week, the Haverford eleven defeated Lehigh. And so it appears that two weeks’ preparation for this afternoon’s game were needed. Saturday’s contest with Bard will be played on the home field in Hoboken. The school at Annandale-on-Hudson was last year a newEomer on the Stevens basketball schedule (losing to the Stutemen) and now the New Yorkers are extending the rivalry t o the soccer field. Let’s get a big crowd out to see this first clash between Stevens and Bard soccermen!

Soccer?-Oh, Rawther?

The Red and Gray Varsity Soccer quad traveled to Haverford this morning to meet the team which is eputed to be one of the strongest n the East. They have beaten Ste‘ens for the past two years, last ‘ear 1-0 and the year before 6-0. The Haverford booters have come hut victorious in all their games his season. In their clash with a trong Lafayette team on October they won 6-0. The majority of last rear’s veterans are still on the quad and the Iosses have been upplemented by new material from .mong the lower classes. The Stevens squad has shown nuch improvement since their 4-2 .ictory over Rensselaer on October 5 as evidenced by their victories in ractice games during the past few reeks.

HE soccer game with Haverforc today promises to be one of thl best of the season's games. T h scores of the games of precediml years show that Stevens is creepinj up on the Haverford teams, havinr lost by only one point last year Perhaps the plot of the curve o these scores can be extrapolated b predict a Stevens success; at leas1 we hope for a victory by the Re and Gray booters.

HE present drive for a Jacobu Club for commuters meets wit this column's hearty approval. SUC an organization would be of grea value to the large number of nor resident students who do not w i s to join any fraternity, yet have t h problem of where to leave their bc longings while waiting, for ir stance, for a Glee Club rehearsa an evening D. S. show, o r for som other evening function. The room in Jacobus Hall allotted to a J: cobus Club should be put to USI and the club should be received ex thusiastically by the commutin students.
