Electrical Departm'nt Nearing Completion BASEBALL WILL START SOON-MGR. ASKS SUPPORT BIG GAME FOR THE HATTERS MON. NIGHT During the earlier part of this month the Electrical Department of the College of Engineering at Stetson University received a new electrical laboratory test-set from the General Electric Company which completes the set of machines that have been ordered for the electrical laboratory at Stetson. The work of drawing out the plans for the electrical laboratory is progressing nicely under the direction of Prof. R. E. Heffner, who has charge of the electrical department. The students in the class- The resistors that will be used in the Electrical Department at Stetson will consist of lamp-bank rheostats, wire-coil rheostats, and grid rheostats, Materials are on hand to build lamp-bank rheostats for a current carrying capacity of more than one hundred amperes, while the material for wire-coil rheostats will resistors for an almost equal amount of current carrying capacity. Also, materials are on hand for transformers, inductances, connectors and other equipment. Thus, the Electrical es of electrical engineering are doing | Laboratory at Stetson University will the drawing of plans and will assist not be lacking in such equipment. in installing the equipment under the direction of Prof. Heffner. The actual work . of installing will begin very shortly. The new test-set consists of two compound wound 110 v D. C. machines identical in size, and characteristics which are mounted upon a single bed plate with a removable coupling between the shafts of the two machines. This set was built especially for the Stetson Electrical Laboratory by the Lynn, Mass., shops of the General Electric Co. This arrangement of having two identical 110 v D. C. -machines on a single mounting so that the shafts may be coupled together, makes the set a very versatile combination. Either machine may be run as a motor driving the other as a generator. The set will be placed in the laboratory so that it may be belted to A. C. or other D. C. machines and either machine of the set may be driven as a D. C. generator. With the coupling Furthermore, to facilitate the proper performance of experiments, it is necessary to have available HOv and 220v D. C. power and HOv and 22Ov single phase and three phase power at various places in the laboratory. This is also being taken care off A new D. C. generator is being installed in connection with the Electrical Laboratory which, will change the direct current electricity power system for Stetson University. At present the D. C. power supply system provides direct current electricity power at 110 volts only. The new D. C. generator will provide 220 volt D. C. power as well as 110 volt D. C. power. In addition to this, it will increase the power capacity of the D. C. system a sthe new generator is larger than the present one. This generator will be installed in the Electrical Laboratory in the basement of Science Hall and at the north end of that basement, it will be driv- Steton is going to have one of the best baseball teams in its history this year, and also about the best schedule that they have had in years, providing—that the wherewithall to pay expenses is forthcoming. In order to isure this, Manager Tatum has undertaken to have season tickets printed and sold. These tickets will be three dollars and a half for students and five dollars for townspeople. FULL WEEK FOR HATTERS Last Monday night the Hatters tangled with one of the best teams in the State when they played the fast team from the state university at Gainesville. At the tfne when the Collegiate report of the game had not been received, hence no score can be carried in this edition. Of course we all hope that the Hatters won the game but there is no doubt the game was a close and fast one if the Hatters There are a good many first-class j lived up to their reputation made teams that we could have here this i this year for a fast and fighting team, year if we could guarantee them their j Friday night was a beautiful display expenses. Without good financial j of their ability of the floor and if backing, it will be an utter impossibility to have baseball at all this year. We have the material; we have a first class manager and the possi-"n bility of the best schedule in the history of Stetson baseball. We must have the money to put it all over.

C. generator or motors. Thus, it would be difficult to find a versatile and usefut set of two machines for the Electrical Laboratory and with the other equip*- ment to be installed with the set, will provide for Stetson an electrical laboratory that she can be justly proud of. But, it requires more than just machines co make an electrical laboratory. No electrical laboratory is complete without its proper source of power, its equipment of proper and accurate reading measuring instruments, nor without its equipment to properly regulate and load the ma chines to be tested. This is receiving phase and three phase alternating Science Hall. This change of the D. C. power supply was necessary for two reasons. In the first place, the room in which the D .C. power supply station is at present is too small to hold ther new power set. Then, it is necessary to have the D. C. power supply as near the laboratory as possible. The loss of voltage and power increase very rapidly with an increase of distance from the source of the supply to the la boratory where it is being used, and the voltage of the power supply for an electrical laboratory must be quite constant. Consequently, the distance between the power supply and the laboratory should be a minimum. The A. C. power supply system, also, \ is being modified so that single no small amount of attention in planning the Electrical Laboratory at Stetson. Four hundred dollars worth of Weston electrical measuring instruments have been purchased and are in the supply rooms of the Electrical Department at the present time. There are no better electrical measuring instruments made than fthe Weston Electrical Instrument company makes and the total number of Weston meters available in the Electrical Laboratory at Stetson exceeds 20. In addition to these, there are a number of electrical meters manufactured by other companies providing a large range of different types of electrical measuring instruments from a number of manufacturers. Many of these meters will not be used for measuring purposes, but for instruction purposes and will be studied by the students for the proncipal operation in a manner not entirely different than motors and generators are studied. To facilitate the performance of the many experiments to be given in electrical courses for students in trical Engineering and other branches of engineering, various kinds of resistors, reactors, laboratory transformers and other equipment is necessary to manipulate the machines properly. Some of this .equipment has been purchased ready for use in the laboratory; but for much of it, the material has been purchased and the equipment will be built in the shops and Electrical Laboratory of Stetson University. This will not only decrease the cost of such equipment, but will also provide training for the students in building such equipment. current power will be availagle at 110 volts as well as 220 volts. The alternating current electricity for power purposes will continue to be purchased from the DeLand Electric Light and Power Co. At present this power enters the Stetson Shops at 220 volts three phase. The transformers which change the line voltage to 220 volts are so designed and built that without as much as taking them down from the place they are hanging, the A. C. power supply for the University can be changed so as to include 110 volts three phase power as well as 220 colt three phase power. This solves the problem of the A. C. power supply very easily. With this Electrical Laboratory installed Stetson University will be able to say unhesitatingly that she is prepared to give courses in Electrical Engineering as good as any offered in the South. It will enable the teachers of engineering at Stetson to do justice to the courses in electricity that are being offered in institutions of higher education. O *- -* 'THE MINERVA FORUM" Announcement is made of the formation of "The Minerva Forum," on Jan. 12, 1924. This society is for the purpose of promoting scholarship standards. Its members are chosen from young women of Junior and Senior rank in the College of Liberal Arts. -O- Prof. Duckwitz has recently formed a class composed of his students in the Collegiate department. The object being to inform students of things, relating to their are not mentioned in the private lesson. These meetings are sure to create an incentive for better work. Among the many facts mentioned last Monday by Mr. Duckwitz were some interesting- anecrlctav oJuJbl^^ vinne, who is to appear in recital in Daytona Monday evening. Thelma Roseholt played the "A Flat Romance," by Rubenstein, which was constructively criticized. Prof. Duckwitz played "Loris Dream" by Lisst, concluding an interesting meeting.- Puipls in the Piano and Violin departments are working hard in preparation fo rexaminations to be given Feb. 28th and 29th. O Special Settings And Orchestra With "Scaramouche" With special settings and orchestra, "Scaramouche" is coming to the Athens on Friday and Saturday direct from a phenomenal run at the 144th Street Theatre in New York City. There will be two showings a day, one matinee and one evening performance at eight-thirty. The Collegiate recommends this reservations. Tickets will be on sale at the Tulip by Wednesday.

Blocker, who was a Pi Beta Phi Of the Florida Alpha chapter, in the years of 1916-17, visited the chapter last Wednesday evening. The girls were glad to have one of their alumni with them again. Mrs. Blocker's husband, Dr. D. J. Blocker, familiarly known to Stetson students as Uncle Dan, is now president of Shorter College, Rome, Ga. O "MINERVA FORUM" -* "Tom, go fetch thd old horse." "Why the old one, father?" "Wear out the old ones first, is my motto." "Well, then you fetch the horse." A meeting of the "Minerva Forum" was held on Monday afternoon, Jan. 21st, in Dr. AlLen's office. Mrs. Ben Hulley spoke to the club on "Life and Ideals of Oxford." Tea was served the hostess being Ree Anderson and Ruth Jennings. The charter members of this organization are: Charlotte Farrington, Ree Anderson, Ruth Jennings, Dorothy Dietz and Marie Courson.

A., quintet defeated the Stetson Hatters by a close margin. The score stood at the final whistle, 31-28. Throughout the game the score seesawed back and forth—one team taking the lead at one moment and the sensational come-back of the other would feature. This continued until the. final minute of play when the Miami team took the lead from a 28-28 score by scoring a field goal and foul. Covington, for the Hatters, was the shining light. It was he who scored a majority of the points. "Covey" was all over the floor at One time, dodging, passing and shooting; he was there with the goods. Covey tried many shots from the seventeen On the tip-off, Miami's six-foot center made it possible for Turner to ring up the first goal by a pretty piece of teamwork from center. The Hatters tightened up and Smith made a foul goal which was followed by two field goals. This display of basketball did not bother that Maimi team in the least, for almost immediately Howell made a fpul goal which was followed by two^roals by Chisholm. The Hatters again took the lead when Crombie shoots a foul goal and Smith a field goal followed in close succession by a field goal by Teare. Roney tosses two field goals and Covington gets one and then another followed by Smith with two. Crombie flings another. Chisholm makes a foul goal and then returns with a field goal as the whistle foot line when there was no one toijblows. Score at half: 19-18, Stetson what it means to a school to have a Rat team. It builds material for the varsity in later years and puts the school on the map in collegiate athletics. Athletics are much like the style. We must be in style. Right now it is the style for a college to have a rat team to play the various rat teams from other schools. We nave a rat team. Be there and boost .1-.^ ow«,<kuj ivctcc. ioi uu.\i yi-Hv tlrey may be the varsity.' Wednesday night the varsity will play the alumni. It may be reminded here that in 1921 the Hatters had a team that literally mopped up the State. It was called the wonder team from Stetson| They are for the most part in DeLand and will play the Hatters Wednesday. If you are a bit skeptical* as to the strength of the 'Hatters, come out and see this team of curs play the wonder team of '21. Come out anyway, for we know you like to see a good basketball game and this certainly will be one. How about :•. record-breaking cvowd to see this game? Talk it up and be there ycur-jeH and bring your girl or your feilow along If you are p| the gentle sex, just remember that this is leap yeay and so ask him to take you to see thegame that will be all O. K., and we take the blame if anything goes wrong. In the game Friday aniong the players of note that will face the Hatters will be: Pug Allen, coach of the Hatters and a player of note in his school days; Francis Whitehair of the wonder team of '21 and chosen of the All- Southern team; Eddie Gillilan, a forward in every sense of the word and Lanky Miller, also of the team of '21. Can you imagine a betetr lineup to test the real strength of the Hatters? No, so be there for the loye of mike, and get the team out of the hole and on an even keel again financially. Friday night the Hatters went a little deeper in the hole' in bringing the Miami team up. Do your part and get the manager out of a hole. We all want the team to continue its season, but without funds this cannot be done. This is the departing plea of the editor of this newspaper, who has "got the gate," be there Wednesday night to see this game. Much obliged. After this game the team takes a day's rest and then hits the trail for the up-state trip where they play some of the stronger teams of the South. There will be another test for the Hatters, but watch their smoke. Among the teams to be play- on this trip are: Greenbacks of Jacksonville, Vanderbilt University, Jewish Alliance, Savannah, <?a., Presbyterian College of Clinton, S. C, Flan College, Flon, S. C, North Carolina State University and Jacksonville Y. M. C. A. Don't forget the editor's pitiful plea and be there Wednesday night and at all games in which the Hatters play at^ome. pass to, and seldom did his shots fail to tally. Crombie and Smith at forwards, were a flash in this. game. The former did little shooting, but his floor work was of the finest. Smith drew first blood by shooting a foul, but afterwards seemed unable to locate the basket. "Cove^*', was right and shots were fed to him to tally. Chisholm and Boney for the visitors were the main scorers. Chisholm at forward repeatedly worked his way clear for open shots and it was rarely that he missed his shots. Boney, at the center position, was a terror in breaking up passing and general teamworfk of his opponents. Both teams worked like clocks and the slight weakness in the Hatters following up their shots spelled doom to them in this game. The passing of the Hatters was unexcelled as they passed the ball often righffiunder the noses of their opponents to the position of the opposing guards who were much larger than the Hatter forwards and it was there that the Hatters often met a stone wall that they found they wereu nable to pass. Often long shots were necessary for the Hatters to get rid of the ball. Most of the Miami tallys were made from the right forward at that position, as the corner of the court generally to they were unable to pass the Hatter defense under the basket. Chisholm was trained in these shots and rarely missed. leading. Turner starts things to going in the second half with a field goal and Chisholm tosses in the basket two pretty ones from near center. Crombie gets a foul goal and Covy follows with two field goals. Swift and Howell were taken from the game for having too many personal fouls chalked against them. Chisholm rings up a foul goal and Boney gets two. Smith gets a foul goal and Crombie and Covington get one apiece from the tip-off featuring pretty team-work. Tribble in for Teare who had overdrawn in his allotment of personal fouls. A foul goal by Smith, one by Chisholm and one by Sneiderman end the game making the score, 32-29 in favor of Miami.

Albritton of Sarasota, Fla., dropped in at the Phi Kapp house. He was on his way to Miami, where accardong to all reports, he was married on Thursday night. Here's hoping that you have the best of luck. Monday night Bill Hardin at last started north on his trip to New York City. Bill is going to enter Columbia University. In a few years Bill is planning on being editor of some large newspaper like the "Collegiate"*?) Saturday night "Ropes Leonard" drove to iKssimmee to see the girls' basketball game. "Ropes'* is a close follower of sports and enjoys driving around the country to the games. Harry Amidon from Lakeland, spent the week-end visiting at the Phi Kap house. Harry was one of the most popular students on the campus and many of his old friends were glad to see him. Ollie Edmunds made a flying trip to Jacksonville on business in the middle of last week. Duke and Crombie were visitors in Orlando Saturday night and Sunday morning. The#,e two have a bright future ahead of them if they keep on associating with each other, and having brilliant ideas together. It was "steamboatin" this time. What will it be next? O "Scaramouche" At Athens Theatre Next Friday and Saturday (From the Savannah News) No one who has the opportunity should miss seeing "Scaramouche". Those who have not) the opportunity, would do well to provide one, because it is truly a masterpiece. Here is a picture worth seeing, one creating enthusiasm for its story, its art, its every feature. Rex Ingram adds a fitting classic to his "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." He is a master in the production of French history, no matter whatever of the present day or the days of a contury or more ago. Denton breathed out a page of the Reign of Terror into life again. The artist who portaryed the character of Napoleon was so startingly like the familiar portraits of that historic personage when hew as the young lieutenant of artillery that one could but gasp at the resemblance. The official program of "Scaramouche" had the names of the actors who assumed the leading characters of this story of the French revolution, but strange to relate when it came to Napoleon the program carried this line: "A lieutenant of artillery—Nopo- leon Bonarparte." It might have been he, so marvelous was this likeness. Ramon Novarro as Andree-Louia Moreau, Alice Terry as Aline de Kar- cadiou, and Lewis Stone as the Marquis de la Tour D'Azyr are notably the leading characters. There is nothing that could be wished to be added to their conceptions of their parts. They were cleverly done beyond doubt. "Scaramouche" has taken its place with the great pictures. It will never grow cold to the imagination nor will it ever fail to attract all lovers of exceptional effort in this branch of the theatrical production. The (advice to witness "Scaramouche" is offered purely from the fact that every mo-^ ment of its production last night wag keenly enjoyed and there can be no mistake about its ability to give joy to everyone. -O- Bobby—"Can't I change my name today, ma?"
