UNDERGRADUATE NOTES

Greatly impressed with the hospitality shown the University of Tennessee eleven last fall by the Green Key the student governing body of that university has launched a similar organization.

P. G. Plummer of Melrose, Mass. was chosen president of the freshman class at the recent election. The other officers elected are : Vice-president, R. L. Marsans, Jr. of Brooklyn; Secretary, J. C. Tarr, of Wellington, West Virginia; Treasurer, F. Hurd, Jamaica Plain, Mass.; Representative to the College Club, C. R. Starrett, Athol, Mass. One candidate introduced a novel feature into Dartmouth politics by issuing printed campaign cards.

A second cafeteria, one which specializes in steaks and chops, has been opened by the Dartmouth Dining Association in the room formerly occupied, by the grill. Since it takes up the space used last year by the seniors as an eating club, the class of 1923 will make no attempt to eat together.

Twenty-six men entered the competition for the editorial competition of the Aegis. Thirteen went out for the business staff. There was some little agitation about making the Aegis a senior year book instead of a junior year book. However, at a class meeting the juniors voted the proposition down because the contracts for this year's Aegis have been let.

Palaeopitus is now using a new and more definite system of choosing the men to run the special trains. The train committee takes into consideration in making the awards the need of the applicant for the profits which accrue from running the specials, the number of special trains he has run previously, and his ability to handle the train efficiently.

The Boston Bridge Company was awarded the contract to increase the height of the ski jump fifteen feet by adding two steel girders. This addition, work on which will start soon, will extend the 45 degree runway 21 feet and bring the total height to 100 feet. A storehouse for the use of the Outing Club underneath the jump will also be erected under the terms of the contract.

Construction has begun on the new Kappa Kappa Kappa chapter house, on the corner of Webster avenue and North Main street. The building which is to be completed before the opening of college next fall, will be three stories high with accommodations for sixteen men, and is to be built of red brick in the Georgian style of architecture.

Last spring the Dartmouth Radio Club attained an effective working range of 500 miles with its apparatus, received several radio concerts and developed a number of competent operators. This year, with a membership of 30 and the increased enthusiasm which echoes the greater interest of the whole country in radio, the club is planning to put in a loud speaker for periodical concerts and to extend its working range. The members intend to exert all efforts to procure an independent club house and to install a powerful transmitting set.

The Liberal Club reorganized this year under the name of the Round Table for the purpose of creating among Dartmouth men an intelligent interest in questions of the day. The membership this year is limited to 30. At the first meeting of the year P. B. Gallup '24 was elected to fill the vacancy as vice-president and C. A. Jagger '24 to fill the one at treasurer.

D. E. Cobleigh '23 was chosen to lead the Player's orchestra.

More than 1100 memberships in the D.O.C. have been turned in so far. And the faculty and off-campus students have not been canvassed yet.

It appears from the statistics gathered last spring by the first year class in Statistics of the Tuck school that the Jack'o in the field of monthly magazines, the Saturday Evening Post in the field of weeklies, and The Dartmouth among the dailies are the most effective advetising media for the local college market. The sophomores do less magazine and newspaper reading than any others. One hundred and eighty periodicals in all were reported as read.

Hanover was the scene of two political rallies on the same day last month. VicePresident Coolidge defended administration policies to a crowded Webster Hall audience in the afternoon of October 18 and F. H. Brown ex-'03, Democratic candidate for governor, outlined his platform at the Young Men's Club that evening.

The Dartmouth Players are to produce "Are You A Mason?", the farce comedy which was made famous some years ago by Leo Ditrichstein, on Nov. 4.

The Cummings Construction Company built an attractive log cabin about ten miles north of Hanover on the trail between Cube and Moose last summer and gave it to the Dartmouth Outing Club. The new cabin is in a wonderful location, far from other habitations and possessing a splendid view. Soon a trail direct, from Hanover is to be built. It will pass through one of the prettiest sections of the country surrounding Hanover.

Since the singing rally on the campus Oct. 11, at which the new football song written by C. G. Newcomb '12 was introduced, everyone has been humming it. The plan is to sing it at the Harvard game. The Cleveland Alumni have chartered two special cars and intend to bring the author; a Cleveland man, to see the game.

The Rev. Frank L. Janeway, who gave the Baccalaureate address last Commencement, now chaplain of the college, has given some fine sermons in Sunday Chapel. The one in which he compared life to a game of golf could have served as a model in a public speaking course; it appealed a great deal to the undergraduates.

In its annual fall elections the Green Key voted in ten more sophomores. A couple of weeks later, to fill up the vacancies caused by failure of three members to return to college, the society elected three more and brought the total membership to 50. The men chosen were: C. W. Dodd, A. W. Edson, L. O. Goas, L. S. McKown, G. L. Scott, G. T. Stevens, Jr., R. E. Wiley, Stuart P. Wright, D. F. Harris, Jr., R. E. Pearl, R. C. Rhoades.

Eighteen sophomores were elected by the class of 1925 to compete for the non-athletic managerships. They were elected in the following order: W. J. Griffin, R. X. Rhoades, C. M. Wilson,. C. W. Dodd, L. S. McKown, D. A. Lyman, M. W. Reeves, R. G. Heydt, L. P. Larrabee, E. M. McNamee, G. J. Wygant, P. H. Kelsey, D. B. Lawson, C. E. Clifton, A. G. Gehring, G. S. Marvel, S Edgerly, L. Hexter.

Through the fall and winter evenings the Outing Club Cabins are the scenes of a unique kind of "College Life."
