On Campus

THE HANOVER that emerged shattered and stunned from the power of the hurricane that struck New England on September 21, has returned to normal so quickly that, other than a few tree stumps here and there, a dangling telephone wire, and a wrecked Bema, there is not a great deal, on the campus at least, to show for the Big Wind.

This may be due to the remarkable speed of the clean-up crews in clearing away debris and repairing broken telephone and power lines, but to the undergraduates—specifically, the Outing Club- must go credit for a great deal of the work. Immediately the storm had subsided, the D.O.C. was out in the streets with every axe it owned chopping and sawing on the big elms that had fallen across the thoroughfares. The "chubbers" gained new respect in the eyes of the student body as they "Tarzaned" up trees working fearlessly on the topmost branches. Mean- while 75 students were stranded in various points on their way to the opening of College, and Convocation for the four classes was not held for the first time in years. As Hanover recovered, no undergraduate drinking was allowed until current could be restored to the darkened streets and houses. Since the storm, while the D.O.C. has been busy reconstructing its trails and cabins, a number of students have helped local farmers gather corn mowed down by the high wind.

PACE, a new Dartmouth magazine with new ideas, went on sale in Hanover, Monday, October 3, and proved to be a very worthwhile addition to Dartmouth publications—modeled in size, subject matter and format after the national magazines, scribnefs, Esquire, and Fortune. Edited by Arnold Childs '39 of Potsdam, N. Y., the first issue was quite professionally written and put together, with featured articles, stories, photography, and special departments designed to portray closely the life of Dartmouth. "Pace will be an all around magazine for an all around Dartmouth. Its contents will include articles about Dartmouth, its traditions, problems, organizations, and personalities, a small amount of the best creative writing done by Dartmouth men, and departments of general or special interest." In the October issue among other features was an article by Prof. Herbert F. West '22 entitled "Advice to Freshmen," an article on fraternities, a short story, and an anonymous expose of the inside dope on being a '40 man.

MILESTONES THIS MONTH WERE:

The award of the Morrill Allen Gallagher Memorial Scholarships to James Feeley Jr., '39 of Cambridge, Mass., and Herbert Mattlage '39 of Douglaston, N. Y. Carrying stipends of $600 each the scholarships are awarded annually to undergraduates with Rhodes Scholar qualifications.

The appointment of John Parke '39 of New York City as the eighth Senior Fellow for the present college year. Parke, who is completing the four-year undergraduate course in three by means of attendance at summer school, plans to devote his senior year to preparation for the teaching of English.

Abandonment of the traditional Delta Alpha freshman parade. Objections: Meaningless, useless, grimy.
