on the Marquette university seismo-
graph between 1:20 and 1:50 p.m.

Barkow, graduate assistant in physics, who has charge of the instrument. The shocks were estimated to
have occurred about 2,150 miles

Students Begin Registration
For New Semester's Work
Name Pledges To Engineers' Honor Society
Knights of St. Patrick to Induct 13; John Shea Heads Annual Celebration
Thirteen juniors in the College of Engineering have been named pledges to the Knights of St. Patrick by the faculty board of moderators of the college and student representatives of the Knights of St. Patrick and the Engineering association .
Those chosen are: Edward Well- auer, Edward Errath, Robert Sweet, William Pinter, Alfred Phair, John Staff, Joseph Krueger, Herman Klackner, Richard Auchter and Simon Hochhaus, all of Milwaukee; Anthony Woo, San Francisco, Cal.; Adolph Feyen, Alliance, Neb., and Leo Schottler, Austin, Minn.
The Knights of St. Patrick is a local honorary society to which juniors in the College of Engineering are elected each year on the basis of scholastic attainments and participation in extra-curricular activities.
The pledges will be formally inducted into the society on Saturday night, Mar. 17, at the annual banquet which clamixes the St. Patrick's day celebration held each year in honor of the patron saint of engineers. The dinner at the Marquette Union will be preceded by athletic contests at the gymnasium in the afternoon, participated in by the entire college.
John Shea, Milwaukee, a senior in the college, is general chairman of the celebration and is being assisted in making arrangements for the day by the other members of the society who were elected last year.
Distribute Prom Favors At M. U. Union Office
Prom-goers who did not obtain favors at the formal Promenade may now get them at the Union office. As the attendance exceeded the expected number, the Prom committee had to order more favors.
The informal and formal Proms were the most successful in Prom history at Marquette. Both functions had an attendance of over 700 couples.
Committeemen are asked to make returns on all tickets sold for either affair, A financial report will be made at the next meeting of the Union board of governors.
Medics Hold Dance Friday
Joe Smith's Orchestra Furnishes Music for Affair in Elizabethan Room of M. A. C.
A. P. Printer Installed For Journalism Students
Students in the College of Journalism will handle latest news events as part of their second semester cur- ricu'um when the Associated Press installs a telegraph wife connected with state papers taking Associated Press service.
The machine, of a late type, prints just as a typewriter on a roll of paper which can be cut into suitable lengths and edited by the students. Such practice will enable them to duplicate actual conditions in a newspaper plant.
The machine will be installed in the composing room, basement of Johnston hall.
Marquette University School of Medicine will hold its annual dance in the Elizabethan room of the Milwaukee Athletic club Friday night, Feb. 2.
Mark Harmeyer, Milwaukee, senior in the School of Medicine and chairman of the dance, announced the selection of the date during the holidays to allow all students to attend.
Harmeyer also announced a change in the selection of a band, with Joe Smith's dance orchestra furnishing the music for the dance and for three acts of the floor show during intermissions. Harmeyer believes that the entertainment will prove a popular attraction as floor shows are unusual at departmental dances.
All students in the University and their friends are invited. The price of admission has been set at $1 per couple. Tickets are on sale at the Marquette Union and the Medical school office. They may also be obtained from the presidents of the various classes of the School of Medicine.
Assisting Harmeyer in arranging for the dance are: Frank Dolce, Buffalo, N. Y.; Robert Genevese, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Harold Pritchard, Tekonasha, Mich.; Camille Fortier, Milwaukee; and Joseph Furlong, Wauwatosa. All are seniors.
Chaperons will be: Dr. E. J. Carey, dean of the Medical school; Dr. M. B. Byrnes, Dr. Emmet Cook, Dr. Joseph Bock, and Dr. H. O. McMahon. All are instructors in the School of Medicine.

School of Medicine Bewilders
Green, Credulous Freshmen
By WILLIAM MAHER
A freshman in the School of Medi-
cine is a bewildered person. He never
knows just what to expect. The
upper-classmen seem to take avid de-
light in circulating wild rumors
which shake the new students to the
depths of theif very susceptible souls,
rumors of-say-a surprise examina-
tion, or* *' something equally disturb-
ing. Even in their classes, the fresh-
men moan; they never know just
what to anticipate. If they go to a
laboratory class, they are very likely
to get a lecture. When they count on
a lecture, they are most certain to
have a quiz. According to them, the
only class of which they can be sure
is chemistry lab.
Subject to Fines
But here there worries just begin.
If they forget to shut off their gas
jets, or if they neglect to clean their
instruments and receptacles, they
are punished by a 25 cent fine. A fine
is exacted for every breach of the
school law. Parking in the space re-
served for the teachers will cost each
offender exactly $5. The same price
must also be paid for the privilege
of smoking elsewhere in the building
than in the smoking room.
And then, every year the freshman
in made the victim of a certain num-
ber of stock tricks. He is solemnly
asked to trace the blood supply to the
pupil of the human eye. Of course,
being merely an eperture, it has
none. Or he may be asked to explain
the purpose of the human backbone.
After desperately cudgeling his brain
for the best scientific definition, he
will be told the correct answer-
much to his chagrin. (If the reader is
curious to learn the answer, let him
ask any medical student. He will be
very much surprised!)
Play Practical Jokes
The most gruesome pranks are
played in the "stiff lab." That is the
name conferred upon the place where
the boys practice their carving. Each
year a number of outside student
groups are shown through the lab-
oratory while the class in in session.
When they leave they nearly always
carry with them, unknown to them-
selves, quite a number of "spare
parts."
But all this is only an infinitesimal
portion of school life. Most of the

ond semester.

this time, however, to the Schools of
