Local Branch Is Only Chapter to
Sponsor Scholarships; Proceeds of
Flower Sale to Aid Fund
By HARRY A. FRIEDMAN, JR.
Results of the flower sale conduct-
ed before football games of the past
season indicate that the Marquette
chapter of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers will continue
the practice in future years. The
student branch of the A.S.M.E. initi-
ated the project of selling flowers in
school colors prior to football games
with the intention of starting a tra-
dition at Marquette.
According to James M. Kelley,
Senior Engineer, proceeds from the
sale of these blue and gold carna-
tions will be given toward the estab-
lishment of a permanent scholarship
endowment fund for worthy engin-
eering students. The scholarship
will be offered as soon as the princi-
pal of the fund has grown so that the
interest amounts to $100.
At the present time each graduate
of the College of Engineering con-
tributes $5 to the fund every year
for three years. The amount in the
treasury is in excess of $500, but with
the institution of the' flower sale the
members of the A.S.M.E. hope to
present the scholarship in the near
future.
The idea of the scholarship fund
had its origin a year ago when the
national A.S.M.E. held its convention
in Milwaukee. Marquette members
of the organization were instrumental
in helping the Milwaukee branch to
make the convention a ' success. In
appreciation of the services rendered
by the students, the Milwaukee
branch gave the engineers $100.
As far as has been discovered, the
Marquette chapter of the A.S.M.E.
is the only student engineering organization in the country to sponsor
such an enterprise.
f * Port ies "Approved
By University Prof.
That professors are now advocating
the use of "ponies" is the latest news
to come in the exchanges.
Upsetting the popular belief of stu-
dents in regard to the condemnation
of the use of ponies, Prof. Aaron J.
Brumbaugh of the Education depart-
ment of Chicago university, claims
that if used correctly, as a basis for
comparison with the student's own
translation, ponies are of more ad-
vantage than a study of the vocabu-
lary or dictionary.
The use of ponies for the purpose
of getting the literal meaning of
words conserves time and stimulates
the association of their meaning at
the same time. Because of the analy-
sis involved in the use of ponies, the
results should be beneficial to the
student.

Father Fox	The fact
that many students live at far
corners of the states, and that
they would not reach their
homes until Christmas day under
the date first announced,
prompted the faculty to recon-
sider the vacation dates.
Father Fox has also issued the
usual pre- holiday warning about
absences. Triple absences will
be credited against anyone who
cuts his last classes before the
holidays, or his first ones after
the recess.
Name Faculty To Review Site For Memorial
Final arrangements to secure the
plot of land necessary for the erection of the Father Marquette Memorial near Ludington, Mich., will be
completed Saturday, Dec. 11, by a
committee of faculty members who
were recently selected by Alpha
Sigma Tau, all-University honor
society, which has charge of the
memorial movement.
The committee, composed of the
Rev. Patrick J. Lomasney, S.J., of
the history department, the Rev.
Simon J. Nicolas, S.J., dean of men,
and John McDill Fox of the School
of Law, will go to Ludington Friday,
Dec. 10. Additional information has
been obtained by Father Lomasney
with the aid of the Wisconsin and
Michigan historical societies, to facili-
tate the location of the exact spot on
which the death of Pere Masquette
occurred.
Calling for bids, selection of the
monument type, and the letting of
contracts will be supervised by a
committee consisting of Arthur
Moran, president of Alpha Sigma
Tau, James Foley and Don Craine,
honor society members, Allen Hoxie
of the Dental School, and J. L.
O'Sullivan, professor of Journalism,
after arrangements have been com-
pleted at Ludington.
N'Western-M. U. to Argue Dry Issue Despite Protest
Debate on the question, Resolved :<^as well as with Middle Western uni-
That The Eighteenth Amendment
Should Be Repealed Immediately,
will take place between Marquette
and Northwestern universities on
Thursday and Friday, Dec. 16 and 17,
in spite of protests made by members
of the Women's Christian Temper-
ance Union of Evanston, Ill.
Objection to a debate of this sub-
ject was based upon the assertion
that its discussion has "poisoned the
minds of students" and is equivalent
to "wet propaganda." Complaint was
registered by the W.C.T.U. with
Walter Dill Scott, president of
Northwestern university, but the
Rev. Albert C. Fox, S.J., president of
Marquette has not been approached
on the subject.
According to Prof. William R.
Duffey, coach, the prohibition ques-
tion is the favored subject of forensic
discussion among universities this
year. Marquette will debate the
same question with teams from Can-
ada and Eastern and Western schools
versities.
A negative team composed of Her-
bert Jacob and Harry Edelstein of
the School of Law, and Theodore
Heller, College of Liberal Arts, will
meet the Northwestern wranglers at
Evanston, Dec. 16. Avin Sable,
School of Law, and Jerome W. Fons,
School of Medicine, and Herman F.
Geske, College of Liberal Arts will
uphold the affirmative side of the
question at the City club, Milwaukee,
on Dec. 17.
Feeling of resentment toward the
attitude of the W.C.T.U. in attempt-
ing to annul the debate runs high at
Marquette, according to opinions ex-
pressed by students.

VARSITY ACTORS PRESENT COMEDY FRIDAY, SATURDAY
Will Give Play In Marquette High
School Auditorium-Tickets Sell-
ing For $1 Each
By GRETCHEN COLNIK .
The curtain will be rung up on the initial production ,of the Marquette Players' 1926-27 season, on Friday and Saturday nights, Dec. 10 and 11, at 8 p.m., wrhen the club will present Kaufman and Connelly's delightful comedy, "To The Ladies," in the auditorium of the Marquette University High school, Grand avenue and Thirty-fourth- street. Tickets sell for $1, and may be reserved at the Union.
Having served, as the Broadway success for Helen Hayes several seasons ago, the clever lines and amusing situations ,of the comedy provide excellent opportunity for displaying the talents of the Players. Miss Ruth Klein, professor in the School of Speech, is directing the production.
Starts Action
To Charles Larsen, Sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts, and Mary McLaughlin, Freshman in the College of Liberal Arts, fall the roles of Leonard and Elsie Beebe, the newlyweds who find married life a series of complications, particularly when friend husband has a gift for doing things at the wrong time.
Action in the play starts when Leonard attempts to impress his wealthy employer, John Kincaid, played by Bert Zander, Freshman in the Law school and president of the Players, who with his wife, portrayed by Dorothea Schmitt, Freshman in the College of Journalism, call to see Beebe's home and possibly invite him to an approaching banquet. E. A. McFaul, in the role of the loose- torigued Chester Mullin, does everything to kill Kincaid's favorable interest, but the day is saved by Elsie who comes to the rescue just in time.
The banquet scene, which occurs in the second act, is one of the funniest situations ever written into a modern comedy and provides innumerable laughs. In this scene Charles Riedl, Sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts, will be seen as toastmaster, while Arthur Gilbert, Senior in the College of Liberal Arts, has the role of Tom Baker, and Nance O'Connor, Freshman dental hygienist, that of the stenographer. Others in the cast are Nat Frenn, Arthur Hankwitz and Victor Blomstrom.
Executive Staff
According to James Kelley, Senior in the College of Engineering and business manager of the production, the seats are selling rapidly and capacity houses are expected. A special matinee on Saturday will be given for local high school students. Tickets were distributed to them last week.
The executive staff includes Amy Knospe, programs; Frank McCarthy, decorations; Catherine Doyle and Gretchen Colnik, patrons; Hugh Deeny, music, and Francis Lukes, ushers.
Gordon Dahlen, Sophomore in the College of Engineering, heads the technical staff and has the following assistants:	Ralph Borsdorf, Alois
Pfeffer, Gebhard Mauthei, Harold Van Pieterson, Hugh Deeny, John Walsh and Leonard Mooney.
Properties are being handled by Estelle and Anastasia Downer, while the decoration committee includes Myrtle Johnson, Hazel Pritchard and Ruth O'Kray.
