program was
a few excellent selections by the famous
Maine band. Ntxt came a first classvaudeville show of five long
acts, suchas is seldom seen in amateur perform-
ances. The first act was by H. A. At-
wood, who did some clever balancing
stunts. In the second act. Sid Osborne
sang a couple of solos. Then Carl
Stevens came on with him and finally
Foster and Bannister. These four pre-
sented many catchy songs, for which
they deserved the loud applause they re-

bars. The fifth act began with a few
sketches by Sid Osborne, which merged
into a pretty dancing act by Miss Mar-
jorie Hoar, when that young lady ap-
peared miraculously from Sid Osborne's
easel.Between the vaudeville acts, and af-
terwards, the circus did a rushing busi-

Butler College AdoptsAn Old Maine Custom
Maine's "Hello" is now echoing on
the campus at Butler College in Indian-aplois, of which Dr.
Robert J. Aley. re-cently of Maine, is president. The But-ler
Collegian of Nov. 30. several copies
of which have been received here, con-tains a column article
announcing an
adoption of the unwritten rule wherebyevery student on the
campus shall greethis fellows with a "Hello" whenever
they chance to meet.Members of the Butler faculty warm-
ly endorse, in interview, this plan. Dr.
Alcy was quoted as saying: "The 'Hello'movement has my
unqualified approval.
My enthusiasm in this matter is born
of experience at other colleges and uni-
versities. There is a measureless worthto a hearty 'Hello.' The
custom ofgreeting all of your fellow studentsshould become one of
the most treas-ured traditions of Butler and insepar-able from the
college spirit." To illus-trate what the "Hello" tradition hasmeant
to University of Maine, Dr. Aleyfurnished the editors of his
college pa-per with a copy of Mr. Cummings'French-Canadian dialect
poem on "TheMaine Hello," which recently appearedin The Camrus, and
they republished it.

In the first rifle match of the season.whk- h was held last
Friday, Dec. 5. theUnocrsity iii Maine Rifle Team won
on the University of Vermont RifleTeam by a score of 468 to 462.
This isa very encouraging start for the team,for in the first match

showing made by the club so far, buthe says there is still room
for improve-ment. He also says there is better ma-terial for a team
among the membersof the Student Rifle Club than there waslast year,
but many fellows that heknows are good shots have not donemuch

All other mem-bers of the club will be denied the rightto shoot on

University LifeUniversity life is a very complex
quantity and may be viewed from manydifferent angles. A question
whichshould interest all students here at thisuniversity is: "On
what does the successof university life depend?" After givingsome
thought to this question the answershould be: "On the conscientious
coop-erative effort of every student."
it is natural for the greater percentageof us to take the
easiest way out ofanything difficult or boring. We invari-ably
"pass the buck" to some other orothers who are willing to accept
the responsibility. What is the result of sucha condition? The
result is that the heavyburden of work falls on a few alreadyover
worked people. They arc not ableto do justice to the task for they
aretrying to accomplish more than any oneperson can possibly do
properly.You know many in this University
who do absolutely nothing for anyixxlybut themselves. They
simply will not ac-cept any responsibility. It is this cia-sof
persons who keep the degree of thesuccess of university life here,
constant-ly in debate. The enormous potentialenergy of the
University is not realizeduntil the students are willing to
acceptindividual responsibility. Without thecooperation of everyone
we fail; withthe cooperation of all we succeed. Deeyou accept your
share of personal re-sponsibility.? If you do. University lifehere
will be a great success.
The Maine BannerThe Maine banner, which was stolen
from the Elmwood Hotel after the Col-by football game, has been
returned.This banner was taken by a certaingroup of Colby students
acting on thespur of the moment without carefulthought.This
childish act was not the idea of
the student body representatives and wasnot sanctioned or
approved by them.This is stated in a recent editorial in the"Colby
Echo." The spirit shown by thestudent body in obtaining the banner
andreturning it is highly commendable andshows us that the spirit
of the Colbystudents is not 1:11. king.
The Faculty TeamAt the present time there are only
three members of the faculty practicingfor the faculty rifle
team. It seems tous that many more of the faculty shouldtry out for
this activity and not let theteam die.The annual shoot between the
faculty.
the men and the women tel the Univer-sity will be held soon. The
existenceof the faculty team depends on the in-terest of its
members. The studentslike to feel that the members of the fac-ulty
are interested anti active in sonicoutside interest.
Shall the Concerts Go?The questifen of the Lyceum Concerts
is again before us tho in a slightly dif-ferent form. The la•t
time this wa•considered it %%as a question of whetherthe concerts
were to by well supportedor poorly supported. It has now be-come a
question of whether the concert•must be discontinued or not. Shall
weas students let such a splendid oppor-tunity for education and
enjoyment asthese concerts offer slip away from us?The members of
our faculty number
ing 118 have bought 120 course ticketsto the Lyceum Concerts.
The studentbody of the University numbering 1400)have bought but
140 season tickets.What is the trouble with our student
body :ilase they a lavk of good tasteand prefer the movies night
after night?It is certainly a very evident fact thatsomething is
radically wrong.The price of the seats for the remain
ing concerts of the ci.ursc have beenproportionately reduced and
it seems tous that there is no excuse for the stu-dent, who do not
support these concerts.

Dec. 1, 1921Editor, Maine Campus,Orono, Maine.Dear Sir:
The Maine Christian Association hasalready accomplished much
during thefirst three months of the college year.Of the several
branches of its activities,not the least important is that of
BibleStudy classes or Discussion Groups.The Bible has been called
the great-
est of all text-books, but it is more thana text-book.--it is
the surest and mostserviceable known guide in the greatbusiness of
living. The Bible is theguide book of life. It is, in a very
far-reaching sense one of the principal foun-dation stones of our
American civiliza-tion. 1 am therefore, greatly pleased tosee the
enthusiastic response on the partof the students in the dormitories
andfraternities to this part of the M. C. A.program. I do feel that
any student inthe University of Maine who allowshimself to complete
his four years ofcollege life without gaining a workingknowledge of
the English Bible has shuthimself off from a great fund of
mostvaluable and fundamental truth whichlie can ill afford to
neglect.

December 1, 1921Editor, Maine Campus,Orono, Maine.Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to theDean's List as published in
this week'sCampus in which a mistake is made inthe list of the
College of Agriculture.The reporter has used the list compiledat
the beginning of the present fall se-mester and not the list which
pertainsto the last half of the present fall se-mester:
unfortunately a number of stu-dents did not maintain the
requiredstandard and are dropped from theIkans' List.The list for
the last half of the pres-
ent semester for the College of Agricul-ture should read as
follows:Seniors: Rhandena Ayer Armstrong.
Dwight Burgess Demeritt. Estelle Na-son, Dorothy
Trefethen.Juniors: Myrtie Ann Bean, Frances
Muriel Field, Iva Angerona Merchant.Sophomores: John Alvin
Small.Special: Reuben Madison Davis.The list of freshmen is also a
little
misleading as the freshmen on theDean's I.ist include only those
who haveall A and It grades and does not includeany who have a rank
of C or below.The freshmen on the Dean's List are
as follows:Edward J. Berkley, Leroy L. Daw-
son, Stanley C. Lane. Christabel F.Lawrie. Rachel Manchester,
Leah D.Smith. Donald L. Trouant, Margaret%'wKiward.As this is an
academic matter. 1 think
it would be well to correct the statementin next week's issue of
the Campus.
Appreciating your co-operation, I am
Sincerely yours.

Outing Club Has a Hike I, Sigma Nu Has AnnualAnd Marshmallow
Toast Initiation and Banquet
—m—The fellows of the Outing Club de-
cided that just hiking was not enough.so on Saturday they added
a few stunt,to the program. Some of them e%engot up in the world a
bit by climbing theOrono bridge for a snapshot, but theywere not
high enough to escape thestinging snowballs of the more timidones.
A member of the party suggesteda marshmallow toast on one of
theislands below Stillwater, so the hat waspassed and the sweets
purchased. Thenthe course up the river bank was re-sumed until the
island was finallyreached by walking logs and broad-jumping the
smaller channels of theriver. There the chief firemaker pro-duced
his flint and tinder and S0611 the"mallies" were browning over a
crack-ling blaze.Plans for future hikes were discussed
and some of the objectives mentionedwere Chemo, Bald Mountain,
Pushawvia the old Veazie R. R., Cold Stream.and Sunkaze. The object
of the club isto promote outdoor sports and recrea-tions. The
fellows who have been onthese hikes express their desire to goagain
and they plan to have many goodhikes and to make a record in the
sportsof the winter carnival.

Alumni NotesDr. Daniel R. Hodgdon '10 president
of Valparaiso University, recently re-signed his position under
dramatic cir-cumstances. He charged the Universitywith being the
hot-bed of Bolshevism.Communism, and other cults."The stream of
propaganda," he de-
clared, "can be traced to the very heartof the Federal
government, so firmlyare its protagonists entrenched."
In a letter to the trustees, he said, "Ihave been visited by
so-called 'Reds'and foreign born members of organiza-tions claiming
to be backed by stronginfluences. Such representations,
un-doubtedly are part of a deep-laid planto make Valparaiso a
center of radicalteaching. It is possible that much ofthe unrest of
college life today is dueto these destructive outside
influences.aimed to destroy the basic principles up-on which this
government is founded."

RESEARCH BELOW ZEROThe science of cold—of extremely low
temperatures—may be regarded bymany persons as still remote from
in-dustry. Cryogenics, as this science iscalled, nevertheless, has
become a prac-tical subject, particularly the character-istics of
gas mixtures in relation toliquefaction and separation of gases
forindustrial application purposes. Liquidoxygen has a practical
application as anexplosive. If an absorbent pad is sat-urated with
a liquid hydrocarbon, itcan, in presence of liquid oxygen, be
ex-ploded with great violence. The com-bination is used at the
present time inmines in France and Germany. Theonly commercial use
of liquid air is asa source of liquid and gaseous oxygen.Other uses
may be developed. Knowl-edge of cryogenics aids in separation
ofpure helium. Substituting helium forhydrogen removes many dangers

SCIENCE IN THE AIRSupercharger Aida, Record Breaking
Airplane Flight Possible
The recent record breaking airplaneflight of Lieut. J. A.
MacReady to aheight of over 40,000 feet, was madepossible through
the use of special tur-bine supercharger. This is a devicewhich
takes the scant supply of oxygenfrom the rarefied atmosphere at
thesetremendous heights and compresses itto sea level density,
supplying it at thisdensity to the carburetors of the air-plane
engine.The supercharger dues the same thing
for the' engine that oxygen flasks do forthe pilot—prevents
suffocation.Beyond altitudes of 15,000 feet, the
aviator must begin to take oxygen.As the aviator approaches
20,000 feet,
the gas engine of his airplane begins tostruggle, also for want
of oxygen; forat that level there is only half as muchoxygen in the
atmosphere as there isat sea level. The speed of the engineslows
down because there is not enoughoxygen for combustion.Aided by the
supercharger, however,
the airplane can now master heights un-attainable without it.
The superchargerhas given the gas engine of the airplaneactually
more vitality than the man whorides in the airplane.Dr. Sanford A.
Moss. research en
gineer, who designed the G. E. super-charger, has made the
apparatus workby means of a complete cycle of opera-tions. The
red-hot exhaust gases fromthe airplane engine, which formerlypassed
off into the air as wasted energy,are now made to discharge against
asmall turbine wheel, causing it to re-volve at between 20,000 and
30,000 revo-lutions per minute.The turbine drives a centrifugal
air
compressor, which compresses the smallpercentage of oxygen in
the rarefied airto sea level density and feeds it intothe
carburetors of the engine. Thatenables the engine to continue
runningat full power; to continue driving thepropeller of the
airship; and to continuedischarging exhaust gases, which inturn,
continue to operate the turbinewheel.

If the University were to hire twelvehundred salesmen to
advertise it for thetwo weeks of Christmas vacation itwould cost
the University $30),000. Thisis the amount of wealth which the
stu-dent body can create in the minds ofthe people. The members do
not needto canvass from house to house like asalesman, but merely
talk up the Uni-versity to those with whom they comein natural
contact.How? every one may ask. First, by
making yourself a shingle or a sign forthe educational
institution; secondly, bytalking both to the general public andto
prospective students; and lastly. hyshowing more refinement, a
better atti-tude and more liberal knowledge thanthose who have not
been to college. Thechief purpose, as in any sort of adver-tising,
is to create a reputation for thecollege which will make it desired
aboveany other. Every Maine student shouldbe a good salesman of his
Alma Materbecause he really believes in the goodshe is selling.

Beta Gamma FraternityBecomes the Chi Omega
Students and alumni will be glad tohear of Jim Baldwin's success
at Trin-ity College. where he has followed ath-letics since leaving
Maine. Baldwin wasfor two years Director of Athletics andFootball
Coach here at the University.Under his coaching in 1919 Maine
wonthe State championship and the sameyear had the honor of the New
Englandchampionship for State universities.
According to the News and Observer.Baldwin deserves a great deal
of creditfor the showing his team made in de-feating Wake Forest
17-0, at Raleigh.November 10. This was the first im-portant
football game the Methodistshave played in twenty-seven years,
andtheir splendidly coached team staged asurprise that was a
sensation in thefootball field of the whole State. Saysthe Niles
and Observer: "The victory ofthe Methodists was as unexpected as
itwas decisive. Before the game. theirBaptist rivals were picked by
nonparti-san critics to win to the tune of aboutthree touchdowns.
But Coach Baldwin'smachine gave the big holiday crowd ofsome 3500
people a thorough going sur-prise, as well as a rattling good
exhibi-tion of football as played by the book."Crushing to shreds
the vaunted
Wake Forest strength. the Trinity teamkept the Baptists on the
defensive dur-ing the whole struggle. The same teamwhich completed
a dozen forward passesagainst Carolina was not able to getaway with
a single one against theMethodists. The Trinity warriors,though
outweighed, were easy mastersof the situation, and showed that
theyhave received and taken ads antage ofthe best kind of
coaching."
Beta Gamma became a national fra-ternity on Friday, Dec. 2 at
four o'clockwhen the society became the Xi Betachapter of Chi
Omega. Mary C. LoveCollins, the National Grand President ofChi
Omega, with the aid of thirteengirls from the Beta chapter at
Colby,installed the chapter. Mrs. Walkley, whois one of the Chi
Omega patronesses.opened her home to the girls for the
in-.stallation.With the formation of Xi Beta chap-
ter, Chi Omega becomes the strongestwomen's fraternity in New
England aswell as one of the largest in the UnitedStates. The
chapter now has 24 mem-bers at the University of Maine. Thisyear's
pledges have been: Louise Mes-ser '24. Arlene Besse '25. Mildred
Fos-ter '25. Hortense Bryant '25, Helen Wal-lace '25, Annie Belle
Thurston '25, LucyDunn '25.
Miss Rosalind Jewett. head of the ex-tension department of U. of
M.. MissInez Boler, assistant librarian, and Mrs.Herman Sweetser
are all alumni mem-bers of the Colby chapter who are nowconnected
