Make up for this one. Students and readers—see our advertisers for service and satis faction. 'I'he advertisers make possible our paper. When you start to buy, go to a man who ad vertises in the paper, not to one who does not. At last the drives on our cam pus ha\e come into being. 'I'hey look great, but didn't it take a long time to get them? Old staff, you are gone, but not forgotten. We wish you were here now. Our troubles have only begun. CHANGES COME Again the wheels of time have rolled around and the new staff' has been elected and installed. With .this issue we make our break into the field of journalism. As we come to take up our w'ork as editor of this paper, we realize the responsibility resting upon us, Wc look back over the years and see the progress that our little paper has made and hope that we will be able to uphold the stand ard as it has been and even to raise it still higher. When the staff of a paper changes it is usually customary to state the policy that the |)aper will use in the future. We do not have to go by this time-worn cus tom and therefore we ha\ e adopt ed no policy. However we wil try to put out the best ]>aper that is possible, and will endeavor to give oui* readers the college nev.'S in the best form possible. VVe ar going to try to give the students and other readers a paper that they will like. We want the read ers to feel that it is their paper and we urge them to contribute to it in an)’ way that they may' like The paper is yours, help it in every way' you can and the new staff will do its part.

Tbe only trouble was that Duke made tbe hoiue run. Of course this was a great disappoiutment, but you know that tliere are otber games to look for ward to.

INTERCOLLEGIATE GLEE CLUB CONTEST Amassing a total of 249 r.-o points out of a possible 300 the Yale Glee Cluli won the fourth annual intercollegiate contest hehl at Carnegie Hall, .Xew York, March 7. Princeton came se?- OJid with 223 2-5 points, and the Uni versity of ilissouri third w’ith 221. I)oints. Fourteen college clubs ])artici* pa ted. Two microplioncs on the stage broad casted the entire program. The hall was packed and standing room wa:^ sold out oven before the singing started. Should Yale w'in again next year she will have w’on for the third consecutive time and the Challenge Cup, now in the custody o'f the Yale Glee Club, will re main permanently in her possession. At the conclusion of the evening all of the clubs assembled on the platform to unite in singing Grenier’s “Prayer of Thanksgiving.” Over five hundre«l voices joined in this soiig. The colleges that competed in the con test were as follows: Amlierst, Colum bia, Dartmouth, Fordham, Harvard. Miildlebury, New York ITniversity, Uni versity of ]\rissouri, Thiiversity of Wis consin, Wesleyan, Princeton and Yale. PATRONIZE o A U D R V E R R AD. MGR. it the left of this group is Lieut. J. A. Macready, U. S. A., former holder of the world’s altitude record. Just behind the propeller you can see the G-E turbine supercharger which kept the Liberty motor running in the thin air, six miles high. Over the mountain by a mile Year after year, plucky explorers try to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, 29,141 feet high. With a G-E supercharger feeding air at sea- level pressure to the engine, an airplane pilot can go far higher. Lieut. Macready has reached 34,509 feet over Dayton, Ohio. He would have soared over Mount Everest with more than a mile to spare! t The tasks attempted for centuries in almost every form of human endeavor have been conquered with the aid of electricity, with more than a mile to spare. The impossible today will be accomplished by men and women now in college. The scientist and engineer are doing their share. It remains for men and women entering upon their life’s work to profit by the new opportunities that are constantly appearing in every profession and vocation in the land. The supercharger is a tur- bine air compressor, which revolves as fast as 41,000 times a minute— the highest speed ever developed by a commer cial machine. It is de signed and made by the General Electric Com pany, which also builds the big turbines that supply electric light and power.
