              FRATS TAKE UP PLAN TO AWARD ANNUAL TROPHY
Greeks in Favor of Scholarship
Competition; Will Go in Ef-
fect Shortly.
Definite steps toward establishing an interfraternity scholarship competition at Marquette university were taken at a meeting of representatives of University Greek-let- ter societies in the office of the dean, of men, the Rev. Simon J. Nicolas, last Monday night.
This committee was suggested last February by the Rev. Archibald J. Tallmadge, then dean of men, but action was delayed until now because of difficulty in arriving at a satisfactory standard for the competitors.
Two awards will constitute the objects of the competition. These are to go to the highest rating fraternity and the individual student who attains the highest scholarship at graduation. The latter award is to be made to the individual regardless of whether he is a member of a fraternity or not.
It is planned to adopt final rules for this year's competition at the next meeting of the interfraternity council on the second Monday night in November. The committee, consisting of Arthur J. Hantschel, chairman; Dennis Pierce, and Clifford McLendon, are working out details in cooperation with the deans of all departments in which fraternity men are enrolled.
Each member of a fraternity is to be rated for class attendance, standing and for time spent in the laboratory and an average for all members of each fraternity will be found at the end of each semester under contemplated rules. At the end of the year the average will be totaled, and the winners announced in time for the award to be made at commencement exercises.
The plan as worked out follows closely that in use at Columbia university, New York city, where the CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE.
All-American End
Now at Marquette
Paul Robeson, giant negro of eastern gridiron fame, twice placed on Walter 'Camp's all-American eleven, is doing special research and review work in the Marquette Law school preparatory to taking the New York bar examination.
Robeson, who was graduated from Rutgers college, New Jersey, in 1918 and who also holds a bachelor of law degree from Columbia university, NeW York city, is in Milwaukee this fall playing end on the local professional football team. In his spare hours, he may be found at work in the Marquette Law library. He expects to take the New York examination upon his return to the East early in the winter.
While playing end with Rutgers, the big colored star made a great name for himself, obtaining a place on the experts' 1917 and 1918 all- American teams. Walter Camp is understood to have referred to Robeson as the "greatest defensive end who ever walked upon a gridiron."

GREAT LAKES ROUTE IS LAUDED BY BRUCE
Harbor Commission Head Speaks to
Frosh Engineers on Pro-
posed Waterway.
William George Bruce, president of the Milwaukee Harbor commission and member of the Deep Sea Waterway commission of Wisconsin, addressed the first year students of ' Engineering Monday afternoon. He spoke on "The Great Lakes-St, Lawrence Waterway."
The meeting of the students was held in the physics laboratory room in the Arts and Sciences building. The usual inspection trip was called off.
"The Great Lakes," said Mr. Bruce, "constitute the largest inland waterway in the world today. The ships plying upon the waters of the lakes handle a tonnage greater than that passing between the United States and Europe on the Atlantic, and one ship handles the same tonnage as five fully equipped trains.
Millions Saved.
"In Taft's administration the saving effected by the lakes transportation amounted to about $500,000,- 000, and at present it may be safely estimated that the saving amounts to three quarters of a billion dollars.
"Milwaukee," according to the speaker, "owes its prosperity, in fact its very existence, to the lakes, and it is not improbable that the next twenty years will see oceangoing vessels putting in at this port. In the natural order of things the waterway should have been a reality years ago, for it is known that in through the lakes. During the war, the loiading of vessels at Manitowoc and Milwaukee for foreign ports was a common event, but the cargoes were limited to less than 4,000 tons, and in normal times such cargoes are too small to make their handling a profitable practice. The average cargo of today is 12,000 tons."
Experts Favor Plan.
"The commission of engineers assigned by our government to the task of ascertaining whether the waterway was physically possible, what the cost would be and whether or not the utility of the completed work would justify the expenditures reported that the project was not only feasible but was highly desirable. The 'report urged that no time be lost in taking up the work.

He is a tall, slim youngster of twenty-one winters. His red hair is neatly combed and his boyish' face always carries a wistful smile. Cool as the proverbial cucumber and with nerves like chilled steel he could at any time relieve a lion tamer on a holiday. This is Joe Dunn, known to the student body as "Red," who was sent in by Coach Murray early in the second quarter of the game with Carroll last Saturday, to put new life into the Blue and Gold eleven. Dunn, ably assisted by Skemp and a strong defensive line, was responsible for the 27 to 0 defeat Marquette hung on the Collegians.
Practically a new lineup was started by Murray against the Waukesha eleven but before the game had gone far it was necessary to put some of the older men back into their regular berths. Except for Carroll's game defense, Coach Bell's boys were outplayed by a superior team. Not once did Marquette's opponents score a first down and at no time was its goal line in danger of being crossed. It was Marquette's last chance at a Little Five eleven this season and CONTINUED ON PAGE ELEVEN.
Gridders to Be Given
Sendoff by Students
Marquette students will be given their- first opportunity of the year to gather in a rally of any form next Thursday when the Hilltop football team will entrain for Omaha, where on Saturday the Murraymen are scheduled to meet Creighton. The gridders are due to leave from the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul station at 4:10 p. m., Thursday. They undoubtedly will be given a big sendoff by Hilltoppers. There also will be a gathering as the team returns Sunday morning at 10:25 at the same depot. Coach Murray will take at least twenty men to Omaha and when their train pulls out, they are to know how much the University is back of them.
ALL FACULTY MEETING SUCCESSFUL, VERDICT
Professors in Second Gathering of
University's History Plan Close
Coordination.
Marquette university's "all-faculty" gathering, the first of the year, and the second in the history of the University, was held in the Fern room of the Pfister hotel, Thursday night, Oct. 19.
The meeting was in the form of an inaugural in honor of the Rev. Albert C. Fox, president of the University, who was thus enabled to -meet individually, each member of the faculty, and to outline to them the general policies of the University under the new administration.
This gathering also served the purpose of permitting the deans and heads of the various departments to discuss thoroughly the means of building up at the University a real Marquette spirit, a spirit of cooperation, between the student body and the faculty, and among the faculty members themselves.
Have Informal Discussions.
After the presentation of the faculty members by the various deans and heads of departments, informal discussions were held, followed by speeches by the deans, the subjects of which were the various methods to be followed in obtaining a spirit of goodfellowship and cooperation in the University.
Prof. F. A. Kartak, College of Engineering, chairman of the faculty committee on promotion of University interests, in charge of the gathering, reviewed the history of the committee since its inception last year. The Senior Pilgrimage, the Marquette exhibit at the State fair, and other similar events tending toward the promotion of loyalty to Marquette and advertising the University's prowess, were accomplishments of the committee, i
President Fox outlined in Jus speech the general policies under the new University administration. A discussion followed in which all participated.
Luncheon, a smoker and community singing led by Professor Wegener of Nthe Marquette Conservatory of Music concluded the evening's program.
"Will Better Conditions."
"Such gatherings are of great importance to the faculty, students and the University," said Professor CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR.
4,000 STUDENTS AGAIN ENROLLED AT MARQUETTE
Registration Goes Over Predicted
Figure; Most Departments
Show Increase.
With enrollment completed in all departments, Marquette university at present has a student body numbering 3,820. These are the final figures compiled by Mary L. Melzer, registrar. This number exceeds by about four hundred the early estimates published in The. Tribune.
The actual number of students enrolled for the official school year, which begins in June, is 4,100. This includes 291 summer school students, who may be classified properly as having been enrolled at Marquette university this term.
There are 527 Freshman, exclusive of those in the Colleges of n;n- gineering and Dentistry. The Nurses' Training school has an enrollment of 48. Marquette university high school has a total enrollment of 453, after more than one hundred applications for admittance had been refused because of lack of facilities.
Registration in only three departments of the University is lower than last year, all other departments, five in number, showing an increase. The Nurses', Training school, College of Economics, and Conservatory of Music are the departments in which a slight decrease is noticeable.
Well founded reasons are advanced for this decline in enrollment. The standards of the College of Economics have been raised greatly, necessitating the refusal of admittance to many students whose credentials would secure admission for them in the usual schools of commerce.
The uncertainty of location of Trinity hospital worked to the disadvantage of increased enrollment at the Nurses' Training school, while the generally disturbed economic condition throughout the country was a disadvantage to the" Conservatory of Music.
M. U. Now Receives
United Press Reports
Marquette University School of Journalism students through the cooperation of Joseph Helfert, Wisconsin representative of the United Press, and Jerry O'Sullivan, head of the Chicago office of that association, are editing daily "flimsies" of news stories sent to all parts of the country by wire. Helfert and O''Sullivan are Marquette alumni.
Duplicates of each "flimsy" are typed as wires give forth the news and rushed to the Marquette Journalism laboratory, where students receive them for practice work in editing and rewriting. ' The large universal desk, patterned after those in use in the big "daily" offices, is made use of in this laboratory work.
"Speed is aimed at as well as accuracy," stated one of the professors, "and some remarkable results in both have been achieved after little practice. This is in part due to the excellent preliminary training received by the students in the groundwork of editorial practice."
