Northeastern to Oppose Wildcats in First Game
Coach Swasey Includes Six Veterans In Probable Lineup for Opening
Clash— Brackett Field in Poor Condition for Game
The Wildcat baseball team will open its season by playing Northeastern at Durham Saturday. At present the Northeastern team seems to have a slight advantage over the New Hampshire nine due to the fact that it has been practicing outdoors for nearly a month, and has already played Providence and Dartmouth. The visitors have a veteran club this year, and are especially strong in the battery and infield.
New Hampshire has had very little opportunity to get outdoors for a good practice session because of the muddy condition of Brackett field. In fact, unless the weather is very favorable it may be necessary to postpone the game to a later date.
The probable lineup for the gameas given out by Coach Swasey in- the Guggenheim school at New York
SCHOLARSHIP ADDED TO CONTEST AWARDS
Four Year Scholarship Added to Aeronautical Essay Contest Prizes — Scholarship Established at
New York University
As a result of an unusual amount of collegiate interest in the Alexander Eaglerock Awards for 1929, both an Eaglerock airplane and an aeronautical scholarship will be awarded this year to college students, according to an announcement by J. Don Alexander, head of the Alexander Aircraft company here.
Contestants are now asked to specify whether they are competing for the Eaglerock or the four-year university scholarship. The scholarship has been established in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics at New York University.
Four short papers on aeronautics, written as briskly and containing as many practical ideas as possible, are required of the competing students. The manuscripts must be submitted to the Committee on Awards before May 31.

THIS ISSUE
The present issue of T h e N e w H a m p s h i r e is published under the direction of John D. Fleming, ’29, and Robert Starke, ’29, during the illness of Paul Blaisdell, ’30, newly elected editor.
A chess team made up of faculty members and an alumnus of the university recently engaged in a match with five members of the Phillips Exeter chess club and their coach, Prof. N. L. Hatch, in which the New Hampshire team was victorious by a score of four to two. The match was played at the faculty club in Durham.
This is the third time that teams from the two institutions have met. The first match was played in Durham a year ago and the Exeter team won by a three and one-half to two and one-half score. The second was played two weeks ago at Exeter. The New Hampshire team won this match with a four to two score.
The only Exeter man to win was C. J. Tannebaum at table number one who defeated D. A. Watson, ’03, thus scoring one point for his team. N. L. Hatch, professor of Latin at Phillips Exeter, and E. Marchand both played draws with their New Hampshire opponents, William B. Nulsen, instructor in electrical engineering, and Dr. Herbert F. Rudd of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology. The draws gave each man one-half point toward his team’s total.

Due to the fact that George Hadley ’30 of Manchester did not return to the University this term, Paul Blaisdell of Concord has been appointed to succeed him as the new editor- in-chief of T h e N e w H a m p s h i r e . Blaisdell was elected managing editor of the newspaper at the end of the last term when the senior members of the board completed their service and was consequently next in line for promotion. He was formerly a member of the class of 1929 and has been active on the staff of the paper for the past three years. He is a member of the Delta Sigma Chi fraternity and played a prominent part in “ The Dover Road” last term

1930 GRANITE EXPECTED TO SURPASS FORMER EDITIONS
TAU KAPPA ALPHA ISSUESBIDS TO NINE DEBATERS
At a meeting of Tau Kappa Alpha, the honorary debating society, held Tuesday, April 9th in Murkland Hall, the following students were given bids: Gertrude Nye ’29, Ruth Towle ’30, Madeline Lord ’30, Phillis Morin ’30, Lillian Twombly ’31, Harry Smith ’30, Donald Harriott ’29, G. Raymond Sawyer ’31, and Louis Schwartz ’30. A picture of the debating teams was taken after the meeting.
The much looked for and widely discussed 1930 Granite is rapidly nearing completion according to managing editor Harry R. Smith. This issue is predicted by the board to be without doubt, the most original number ever published.
One of the outstanding characteristics this year will be marked changes in the whole plan of the publication. The new policy is to eliminate certain sections which heretofore have been considered as necessary and to add a few new sections which will undoubt- a'bly attract a great deal of attention.
Beside the above named changes, a new and original theme, one which has never been used in this publication or in any other publication of nearby campus annuals, is to be added together with an extremely attractive and different cover.

THE CASE OF APRACTICE TEACHER
In connection with the much-needed letter upon campus tolerance sub mitted this week by Mr. Rabinovitz and Miss Bauer of the senior class which we publish in this issue, we feel that it is our duty to urge strongly that steps be taken to prevent a repetition of the very unfortunate affair of the past two weeks .which culminated in William Mahoney of the senior class being replaced in his practice teacher’s position in the high school at Rye, N. H. Mr. Mahoney was re moved, we understand, because authorities at Rye did not wish a person of his religion to teach in their school system. If this is the real reason, then the matter is very unfortunate indeed.
Practice-teaching, as we understand it, is a university course and as such is open to all qualified students of the institution the same as is any other university course. There is no mention made in the catalog of religious qualifications essential before a student may sign up for a course. We believe that the Department of Education should have recalled Mahoney, but should have refused to replace him with any other student registered here. The town of Rye has a perfect right to select such teachers as it desires when it is doing its hiring, but it has no right to interfere with the carrying out of a university course, nor has it the right to dictate to the Department of Education as to who shall be sent there so long as that student is recommended by
An exhibition of book illuminations of the fifteenth century has been in the Library for the past week. These illuminations are examples of fine French art, and are very beautiful.
Several new books containing a wide variety of subject matter will go into circulation April 11, 1929. Among them are:Re-Discovery of America,
By Waldo Frank The Paganism in Our Christianity,
By Arthur Weigall Modern Religious Drama,
By Fred EastmanThe characters in the book have
truly vivid personalities with convincing dialogue, and are not merely puppets of colorless types.American Whalemen,
By Elmo Paul HohmanThis book gives an account of the
author’s study, life and labor in the Whaling industry, another interesting description of man’s struggle with Leviathan.Nettle Harvest,
By Sylvia Dewys HookeThis account, astonishingly enough,
acquaints us with a woman who is born on her forty-fourth birthday.Dot and Will, by Fanny Kilbourne
Further acquaintance with Dot and Will will delight those of us who have followed their adventures for the past ten years in the American Magazine. Dot and Will have celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, succeeded in getting their twins started, andare now prepared to------ but that’s thestory.Dark Hester,
By Anne Douglas Sedgwick A tale of the never-ending clash be
tween two generations; that in its prime, and that in its youth.The Professor’s Wife,
By Bravig Imbs A first novel, this, whose setting,
we think, is Dartmouth. Need any more be said?
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE, APRIL 18, 1929.
FROM OUR MAIL BOX
By E. F. and E. S.An icy bath and a ruined suit of
clothes is rather a price to pay for flying a flag for a day. Isn’t it ’32?
We notice that one member of a fraternity wears his pin on the inside of his vest pocket. Did he find it so hard to get a co-ed to wear it?
Last term we told you that a house fined one of its members for bringing his sister into the house after the chaperones had left. We wish to apologize to that fraternity. The girl was somebody else’s sister!
Be careful about the part you get in Bill’s plays. We notice that several members of last term’s cast still retain their English accent.
What caused the squeaking during the exhibition dancing— shoes or joints?
This ice cream has a hollow in the middle,” complained a co-ed eating at
Durham restaurant.“Don’t be a glutton,” her compan
ion answered.“ But,” protested the first, “ I want
my just desserts.”
the University as qualified to do his work.
There is a rumor about to the effect that the Department of Education made an agreement with the town of Rye not to send Catholic students there as practice teachers. If such is the case we feel that, idealistically speaking, the department was wrong to make any such agreement, since university courses are open to all students regardless of race or religious sect. This, as we have said, seems to us to have been wrong in the first place, although from a practical standpoint it may have seemed necessary. But to add to this the mistake of sending down Mahoney and then replacing him was even more serious. In addition to humiliating Mahoney, it was also a matter of considerable personal expense and loss of time to him. It interfered with his work in military science and in other ways. In fact we say again, the whole affair was very unfortunate.
Practice teachers are not hired by a town. They are sent to a town as part of a University course and, as such, the University and every department of the University should be behind them to the last ditch. The University of New Hampshire is a non-sectarian institution. Nothing less than a public apology to Mahoney seems indicated as necessary and proper.
We are not trying to make trouble or to promote discord in the University, but there has been such widespread comment and indignation on the part of faculty and students concerning the affair that we feel that it is only right that the matter be brought to public attention and a satisfactory explanation made which, we have no doubt, will be the case.
Now that America is becoming na- tionally-conscious in its literature, biography and collections of biography reflect this desire to get at the essence of the spirit of America. In the Library, is “ Lonely Americans” by Rollo W. Brown. The author has chosen his subjects because he likes them and because they impressed him with the individual yet native quality of their intellects. President Eliot, Whistler, MacDowell, George Bellows, Charles Eliot Norton, Raphael Pump- elly, Emily Dickinson and Lincoln are drawn in a vivid clear-cut and sympathetic manner.
Likewise, William Allen White has essayed a series of portraits of American presidents and politicians. With all of them he has had reporter’s relations, with six of them political relations, and with Roosevelt, “ . friendship that was precious to me. Through careful selection he has achieved a consecutive story of American political life in the last half century. Those who appear in the pageant are Croker, Platt, Harrison, Grover Cleveland, McKinley, Mark Hanna, Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Alfred E. Smith and William Hale Thompson.
In “ Plain People” by E. W. Howe who founded the school of American realism forty years ago with “ The Story of a Country Town” we get slightly Actionized biography of unknown but living Americans. Stern hard-working men and “pale, tired unhappy women” move through this serene and simple narrative of { Westerner, who has considered him self plain all his life.
The tenth annual session of the New Hampshire Summer School, con ducted by the Public Library com mission of New Hampshire and the University of New Hampshire Li brary, will be held at the Hamilton Smith Library in Durham, July 16-25
Among the lecturers and teachers will be Miss Edith Snow, head cata loguer of the Portland, Maine, library who will lecture on “ Cataloguing and Classification” and Miss Alice Rowe, one of the faculty of Simmons College Library School, who will lec ture on “ Reference Work.”

CLYDE EATON APPOINTEDVARSITY TRACK MANAGER
Clyde Eaton, ’29, of Greenville has been appointed Varsity Track Manager to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Melbourne Cum mings from college. Eaton is a mem ber of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and Alpha Zeta, honorary agriculture fraternity. Last year Eaton was an officer at Alpha Gamma Rho.
Eaton was to have been manager of the tennis team but as that sport has been discontinued he was placed first on the rating list held by the Athletic Association. On the rating list are the men’s names that are eligible for managerships and have not a position. When a position open, as in a case like this, the man first on the list is given it.
Too bad we didn’t plan our Winter Carnival fon last week-end.
Now that the co-eds are forbidden to wear gym clothes to meals, something should be done about a certain fellow who wears his pajamas to breakfast.
Oh, about keeping, cars on campus Just get in right with the geology department. They need lots of cars for field trips— and the trips don’t occur every day.
Averages like those announced at Scholarship Ball just shouldn’t be publicly spoken of. Anyway, we don’t care— We wouldn’t want to be a teacher’s pet! ! !
April 15, 1929.To the Editor:—
There are many ways of bringing a matter to. public attention. We choose the method of writing to T h e N e w H a m p s h i r e because it was suggested by a man who we honestly believe is actually interested in the school.
Our starting point is this: There has been organized quite recently on this campus a sorority which limits its membership to a certain religious group holding certain theological beliefs.
We realize that the founding of a purely Catholic sorority is a sort of defense mechanism: the other sororities either exclude them or take in a very small percentage. Ostracism is usually the function of the majority; the ostracized are usually the more intense in their reactions. The few always feel more keenly the necessity for grouping.
This is a University campus, supposedly tolerant. Tolerance might almost include the abolition of border, breed, and birth in regard to a social organization—using the word “ social” in its broader significance. And yet we find groups which are openly only Protestant, or Jewish, or Catholic, or racially only Greek. They exist on this campus boldly and with sanction. We find men and women professing tolerance, members of organizations that set up walls, ghetto-like.
A careful consideration of the data of modern knowledge might lead to the relative truth that there is no good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral, and that even thinking does not make it so. All western theolo gies might be interpreted to imply the existence of absolute truth and intrinsic values. That interpretation might be considered absurd or flabby, considering the facts of what may seem an impersonal universe. But we find that western theologies ethnocentrisms, personal God ownership. Nordu superiority, and other such have caused a gulf between groups which “ the estranging, salt unplumbed sea” may and does flow
Perhaps it is too much to ask the university student to brand on his heart, “ Brother to a prince, and fel low to a beggar if he be found worthy” like Browning did Italy.
What would make this school pro gressive is an intolerance of intol erance, perhaps a contradiction, we are ever to arrive at “ the brother hood of man,” at present the an nounced aim of the West—Europe and the United States— which lives its lies so well that consummate hypo crites may well feel themselves hon est men, we must wipe out all preju dice, not only in theory, but in prac
i tice.Universal tolerance is only an
ideal—non-existent: the tragedy life lies in the attempt to give airy nothingness a local habitation and name.

Not much question now is there concerning the supremacy between the classes of 1931 and 1932? Lots of fun while it lasted though, huh?
Reports come in about some senior at the Alpha Chi House who wears false teeth. Any truth in it?
The Delta Sigs and Alpha Gammas have again raised their old-time complaint against the Alpha X i’s. The last named are failing to pull the curtains at slumber hour, which is very unbefitting modest young ladies.
a happier choice have been made? Wise, wise young men! The aim of all this? In all earnestness, it was to develop a liking for cultural things, to open the eyes of the intellectually blind, lead them to light, wisdom and the enjoyment of a superiority complex, if nothing else. Commendable attitude, there is no doubt. But above all, how wonderful it must feel to stick one’s proverbial thumbs in one’s proverbial vest arm-holes and have written all over one’s face: “ / am a radical. I am above you morons. I have radical ideas and I am not afraid to vent them; and you little nit-wits, you must accept them!”
And the less “ nitty” of the little nit-wits, you must accept them!” all abashed decided that they also must organize to combat this formidable thing which was threatening them and their enjoyment of life in general. And so, not as mysterious in their choice of a name, but a little more frank, possibly, they boastfully called themselves the Horizontal Club. More frank, more lovable, more irresponsible than their friends the radicals, but perhaps also wielding less influence over the gaping multitude. Amusing, but that’s about all.
The third group has not yet had time to find itself a name, due to its ultra-conservative element, no doubt, a thing which always tends towards slowness rather than speed. As far as I can see, they are the cause for the birth of the radicals, and they unwittingly are cursing their own children; but history has proven that the parents eventually take the back-seat, and so we are very sorry for the poor conservatives who really work so hard and take themselves so seriously for so little reward. But what can we do? And we do thank them for their occasional life-saving restraining hand.
But I must stop, for I fear that if I don’t, I shall soon have the superi- ority-complexed radicals, the life-loving Beau Brummels, or the over- serious conservatives all out for my scalp— or perhaps my membership ?Y es?........... “ With malice towardsnone and charity for all”— who wants to join my club?

As far as I can see, life in Durham was getting rather boresome for a few mentally ( ? ) energetic young men (and possibly one or two young women). They had splendid ideas of their own, but no one would stop to listen to them. They despaired at the stupidity and narrow-mindedness of the student body as a whole and felt the reformer’s blood surging through their veins. Something must be done to awaken the slumbering herd and incidentally bring to these inspired young gods a little free publicity and possibly amusement. Hence they gathered their young, earnest heads together a la football fashion, and a defaut of a more startling or breath-taking appellation, adopted that of radicals. To go even farther in their little game of psychological philology, they decided to call their new-found organization the Anti Foreigners’ League. Foreigner! Could

Lambda Chi Wins Bowling Honors
Good Bowling Exhibition In Championship Match
Nelson Wins High Score for Three String Total— Shea Wins High
est Single String Score— Trophy Presented
Due to an error the story of the intramural bowling championship was left out of the last issue of T h e N e w H a m p s h i r e .
The match was contested between Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Kappa Phi, the former winning by 75 pins. This large margin was almost altogether obtained in the last string, when the Lambda Chi Alphas had a streak of good fortune and skill, getting three scores over the century- mark. The game was hotly contested throughout. The losers were one pin ahead in the second round.
Nelson, of the winning team, captured the honors for highest total pinfall with a score of 306. Shea, of Theta Kappa Phi, took the honors for single string score with 113, while Slack, of Lambda Chi Alpha, had a single string score of 91, the highest single string score without a spare or strike. Nelson was the only one who went over the hundred mark more than once. Those who over the century-mark and scores follow:Shea (TKP)Sacco (TKP)Stenberg (LCA)Fowler (LCA)Nelson (LCA)Vanni (TKP)

William Powell, the suave villain of the screen, who has won wide popularity with his screen characterizations in Paramount pictures, has one of the best roles of his career in “ Interference,” now showing at the Franklin Theatre. Also in the cast with Powell are three other well known players, Clive Brook, Doris Kenyon, and Evelyn Brent.
“ Interference” was originally presented as a play in London. It ran for two years and was then presented in New York where it ran for nine months. It is a melodrama with an element of mystery that makes it one of the most interesting stage dramas adapted to the screen during the present season.
Powell, who essays the role of Philip Voaze in the picture, first gained popular attention in the Paramount production, “ Beau Geste.” Previous to his appearance in motion pictures, however, he was popularly known on the American stage where he played in many successful stage hits.
Powell’s portrayal in “ Interference” is one that brings him the sympathy of the audience before the film is half through. Although one who had left a trail of broken hearts, by a sensational and dramatic gesture he safeguards the reputation of the woman he loves and restores her hap piness.
Lothar Mendes directed the film.

Freshmen are temporarily placed under the rules governing freshmen of former years. There will be no smoking on the campus, no .sport clothes of any description, no sweaters will be worn except by numeral men who may wear their numeral sweaters, coats must be worn at all times, and there will be no “ dates” with co-eds. These rules ishall hold from Monday morning to Saturday noon of each week in addition to those rules already in force, and shall be enforced by the Sophomores as it is deemed necessary. When the freshmen show that they appreciate the leniency of the rules heretofore enforced this year by obeying those imposed upon them at the present time, we shall remove the extra rules.
It was decided last spring to make the rules more lenient for the freshmen this year, and this was carried out by requiring only the tie and skimmer. The result has not justified this step. Not only are the rules continually broken by individuals, but open contempt is shown for the sophomore class in such a way that it is subject to ridicule by the rest o f the campus. In this way the freshmen provoked their own punishment and the fact was brought home in no light manner by the sophomores that they will tolerate no such outright impudence on the part of the freshmen.
Certain upper-classmen crave “ action” on the campus, and in order to attain their end they antagonize the sophomores by hanging 1932 banners about the campus, thereby creating hard feelings among classes and unjust punishment of the freshmen— we do not speak now of the affair last Thursday night, certain freshmen admit to participating in parts of that so that their punishment was deserved—rbut later there was another banner, and for what purpose except to stir up a fight between the two lower classes? Certain individuals on campus have a very peculiar sense of humor.
The freshman and sophomore classes are perfectly able to take care of themselves, and we feel certain that their affairs will go along smoothly, and that rules shall be enforced without the uncalled for intrusion of upper-classmen.
Why not do something of a constructive nature for your own class rather than spend your energies in a destructive way where it is not wanted? Give it some thought; it has its humorous aspects we admit, but there is also the serious side of the question.
Sincerely,G. LLOYD ATWOOD,
President.

manently to Laconia who has won it three times.
The contests were between the winners o f the three sections of the state. In the preliminaries Groveton affirmative won the decision over the Manchester negative and the Laconia negative defeated the Manchester affirmative. Iri, the final debate the Laconia affirmative won the decision over the Groveton negative thus winning the cup.
The Laconia teams were coached by Lloyd Simpson and were composed of the following students; affirmative, Miss Jennie Bujnievicz, Gershon Clevenson, and Robert Johnson; negative, Elmer Thayer, Gardner Caverly, and Bernard Snierson. Manchester’s team was coached by Lewis Friedman and the Groveton team by Miss Mary Geary.
The three Ralph D. Hetzel scholarships for three years at the University of New Hampshire were awarded to one member of each of the three teams: Bernard Snierson of Laconia, Laurel Chute of Manchester, and Carlton Chapman of Groveton.
Dr. Alfred E. Richards, head of the department of English at the University, awarded the cup and presented the scholarships. In a speech following, he praised the splendid enthusiasm being shown on the part of the secondary schools in interscholastic debating. Dr. Richards announced that a gold medal winner from each of the teams would be announced later and that certificates would be awarded those speaking for the third year at Durham.
Edmund A. Cortez, director of for- ensics at New Hampshire, has been in charge of conducting the interscholastic debates, and has been highly praised for the efficient way in which he has carried on the competition throughout the state.

They went by auto, leaving Durham at 6:30 A. M., and arriving home at 10:30 P. M. They reported that the roads were very poor from Durham to Concord, but were good from Concord to Claremont.
They were entertained by Mr. Howard Lincoln, general manager, who conducted a tour around the plant. While there they had the opportunity to hear a very interesting lecture. One item of especial interest to the group was a new cleaning machine for castings. This is operated by using water at a very high pressure, taking one man one hour to run it whereas with the former machines it took two men five hours.
Edward Burnham and George Atwood will take their cooperative work there this summer. The others who went are T. A. Caie, N. W. Sirhakis, J. E. Perkins, and E. H. Hunt.

field Student Conference June 14-21—Concord
Deputation April 28
At the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last Monday evening it was proposed that before the election of officers takes place a complete list of all the members should be compiled. This will be done by the representatives in the several dormitories and fraternity houses, giving each member a chance to vote for the officers he wishes. The meeting was featured by Prof. Robert Manton’s talk, “ The Texture of Music” in which he briefly explained the fundamental forms of music from the earliest known records to the present day.
The Northfield Student Conference, to be held this spring from June 14 to 21, will present an excellent opportunity for delegates to discuss problems and vital questions about college students. Men such as Sherwood Eddy, Henry Coffin, Kirby Page, and Reinhold Niebuhr, who are noted for their interest in student thought, will lead the various meetings.
The conference at Northfield this year will offer a splendid opportunity for combining well-planned study in vitally interesting fields, together with recreation and sport events. Delegations from all the New England colleges are expected and New Hampshire hopes to be well represented. Additional information may be obtained from Ben Andrews at the “ Y ” office.
The organization is sending a deputation to the First Congregational Church at Concord on the twenty- eighth of this month.
Dr. L. P. Latimer and Prof. Stuart Dunn Receive Recognition by Sci
ence Magazine for Articles on Dry Ice
RESTAURANT TEA ROOMWhen in Dover Dine at the
DAERIS TEA ROOM462 CENTRAL AVENDE, DOVER, N. H.
Two articles on the use of solid carbon dioxide, “ dry ice,” appear in the March 29 issue of “ Science” over the names of Professor Stuart Dunn and Dr. L. P. Latimer of the University Experiment Station.
Mr. Dunn points out that during the past few years “ dry ice” or solid Co2 has assumed commercial importance as a refrigerant, particularly for perishable goods in transit. During the past year he has used the substance most effectively in some freezing tests on apple twigs as a check on other methods of determining hardiness.
Dr. Latimer used “ dry ice” in determining the freezing point depression of plant juices. He found the following advantages over salt-ice mixture: (1) The temperature of the cooling mixture is more easily con- N H T H R E Etrolled. (2) The material is cleaner and easier to handle. (3) The ether in the bath may be used over and over again. (4) The temperature of the ether bath can be lowered more rapidly and accurately.
Care must be taken in handling the “ dry ice” as it burns the hands when held only for an instant.
