LAB’ COURSE PLANNED BY DOCTOR CONKLIN First Year Psychologists May Take New Course Next Semester In response to inquiries made by Dr. E. S. Conklin, 45 students from among the 125 in his two classes in Elementary Psychology expressed yesterday a desire to take a labora tory course in connection with their 0 regular work. The head of the department has been contemplating the addition of such a coruse for some time, but the lack of room has heretofore prevented the realization of the plans. Dr. Conklin declares “It is to enable those persons to get acquainted with the scientific methods of Psychology who would otherwise be unable to take the regular courses in Experi mental Psychology. “The response was far beyond our expectations, and we hardly see how we are going to handle such a large number with our present equipment. The number will have to be reduced in some way. A possible way out of the difficulty is to weed out the un-, derclassmen who can take the workj next year. “The Deuartment has grown to such an extent that it is imperative that we have more rooms, for even in our present work we are cramped for room. We need at least ten rooms Instead of the four which we now have. The laboratory rooms will need to be of the same size as my of fice. “In making^ experiments in Psy chology only two persons can work in the same room. “This new laboratory course will be a one-hour course, that is, the student will have to work in the laboratory three hours each week. 1 The enrollment of the department is 125 at the present time. 1 The chief justice of the State of Maine says: “The difference between a large university and a small col- 1 lege is that in the large university j( the student goes through more col- j * lege, while in the small college, more 1 college goes through the student.” The new Yale stadium is nearing s completion and will be the largest j in the world. Its seating capacity' t is 60,000. | £ “15 MILES FROM BOSTON” WILL BE SENIOR PLAY Committee Decides Upon New Type of Show for Pro duction May 7 “Fifteen Miles F*rom Boston,’’ will probably be the play given by the Senior class as the result of the re port adopted by the class of 1914 at their meeting this morning. The re port was submitted by Charles Rey nolds who stated that the play named had been recommended because of its variation from the general dun of Senior productions. The cast neces sitated will be large and the work therefore will be more evenly dis tributed among the members of the class. Ve r non Motschenbacher’s proposal to appoint Professor Reddie as coach for the play was not taken up as it was stated that the Univer sity dramatic expert would be unwill ing to undertake a play of this na ture. Three hundred and fifty dollars is the estimate necessary to finance the play, to be given May 7. In pursuance of the custom established last year by the class of 1913, it was decided to have the treasurer of the class act as manager, and Del Standard was elected to fill that position. The final selection of cast, coach, and play will be left to the manager, the president of the class, and the committee originally appointed. President Allie Grout stated that the committee on the Senior Memo rial has been working hard, but will have no definite report ready until :he next meeting. The committee on the lottery dance announced that the date on which ;his function would be held remains :he same as that originally deter mined on, namely, February 7, un ess an early week date at the open ng of the second semester can be se cured. Not’ce will be given if this :ha.nge is effected. As a result of the freshmen exams leld at Washington and Jefferson, ne man only was dropped, while hirty to forty has been the usual umber of students lost annually. A ban has been placed on local ororities at Denison university by the President of that institution. As fur her initiations are forbidden, this diet means their gradual extinction. WOMEN’S BASKET-BALL IS NOT UP TO STANDARD Miss Thompson, Homer Jami son and Shockley Pick All-Stars According to Dr. Bertha Stuart, physical director of the women's gym nasium, women’s basketball this year has not been as good as usual. In speaking of the basketball season Dr. Stuart says, “Not nearly as many girls have turned out this year for basketball as heretofore and I be lieve this is greatly due to the crowd ed condition of the gymnasium. As the gymnasium is occupied nearly every evening until five-thirty or lat er, the girls have practically no prac tice hours. They can not practice in the evening as there is a faculty rul ing against it. Glee Club has also interfered a great deal with the bas ketball hours. I have been greatly disappointed in the number of girls who have turned out for the class games, especially the Freshmen. I do not think the basketball condi tions will be any better until we have our women’s building with a separ ate room for basketball practice. “The character of the game itself however, has been better than ever before. All the games have been clean and good team work has been shown.” An all-star team of fifteen girls .vas picked by Miss Thompson, Hom er Jamison and Edward Shockley. All the members of this team were so closely matched that at the girls’ request no further eliminations were made. The members of the team were: Forwards—Hazel Rader, Bess Cowden, Jennie Hunter, Ruth Pearce. Guards—Virginia Peterson, Vera Moffatt, Florence Moffatt, Vera Web ber. Jumping centers—Bess Young, Merle Stearns, Charlie Fenton. Running centers—Georgia Prather, Jeannette Wheatley and Ruby Stein er.

Scene from “The Wolf” at Paigene Theatre Saturday, January 24. “The Wolf,” Eugeue Walter.’! great play of the Hudson Bay coun try, is announced for presentatloi in this city on Saturday, January 24, at the Eugene theatre, with al the trappings, stage accessories elaborate scenery and light effects precisely the same as seen In New York and Chicago. Mr. Allen Dale the celebrated writer on the New York American, In the issue of tha paper the next morning after tin first performance had been given “Let me say right here without fur ther parley that in “The Wolf” Mr Eugene Walter has most assuredlj confirmed our impression that he it a “find.” His fV'cond play (The Wolf) is a melodrama, vivid, hut primitive, vital, but infledged. II is direct terse, capitally written sincere and free from conventional flap-doodle. “The Wolf” hit the first-nighters in spite of all. Tbit was an achievement. It was a greal feat. It proved beyond the pread venture of doubt that young Mr Walter is made of the right dram atic stuff. “Paid in Full” was nol i a fluke, It was the work of an artist. For further particulars apply to “The Wolf.” When one recalls this young playwright’s own admission that just before the production of “Paid in Full” he was sleeping In the parks and struggling for the right to nour ish his poor outward shell one can not help applauding the fine hand of eternal justice. Everything comes to him who waits is appar ently correct. It is a nice and con soling thing to believe in. Appar ently Mr. Walter has not seen many plays, and therefore doesn’t know how managers, actors, and claque expect them to be done; he does them his own way, which is a mighty good thing to do. Whatever may be the fate of “The Wolf” it has proven Mr. Walter’s right to be looked upon as perhaps the only serious dramatic proposition that this season has set forth. If he can give us one play a year we may think ourselves lucky, for he will give us a good play. Prices, $5c. 35c, 50c and 75c. Do You Need Furniture?
