After presenting the above program in Valparaiso, the Glee Club will travel to various cities to represent the University. Placards which w<re issued by the Record have been placed in the various business houses in this city. Let us remember that it is the advertising which, in a large measure, makes possible the publication of the annual The merchants of the city are lending us their whole-hearted support; let us reciprocate by giving them our business. NOTICE ! The French Club will meet this Thursday evening in Harmony Hall, at 7:30. A program based on Pictures of the World War has been arranged for the evening. French students are requested to attend this meeting. MISS HOUGH. ANNOUNCEMENT The Engineering Society will hold a special meeting Monday, March 5. Efforts have been made to secure a film entitled, "The Single Ridge." This film depicts the method of manufacturing the various types and grades of wire. Anyone interested is invited to attend. V NOTICE ! The down town high school has been the source of three of our present regulars. This year the locals again have a wonderful basketball team. Let's do all that is within our power to induce these young men to attend this university. If any student knows of an athlete who is not attending any other university, or who will graduate from high school this spring, please turn his name and address in to THE TORCH OFFICE. V Profs. Favor Upward Trend In Styles William Schultze spent three days last week-end with a friend in Chicago. The second professor has announced that he favors the upward trend in styles. Dr. Fuller in Wednesday's convocation talk on "Rediscovery of America" cooberated Mr. Uhl's statement in the previous assembly as to what he favored in styles. Dr. Fuller's speech centered about his reactions towards various customs and ideas that had come into prominence since he left this country fifteen years ago. The eating of that standardised article—an O. Henry bar—an exciting ride in an automobile going at the lightning speed of forty miles per hour, and seeing bo many Ailing stations, all made a vivid impression on Dr. Fuller's mind, and he pictured these reactions in such a way that the students enjoyed every minute of his talk. The greeting "Hi Prof." instead of the Chinese salutation, "How are your grandchildren thismorning" rather shocked Dr. Fuller at first, but since then he has found that "Hi Prof" is not a sign of disrespect, but rather one of friendliness. In closing Dr. Fuller announced that although many things had changed in fifteen years he "was proud of being a citizen of the United States of North America." Mr. Alton Medsger accompanied by Miss Seidel on the piano Bang a solo as the opening number of the convocation exercises. r V Prof. Walter Miller tells us that he calls his 7:30 German class the Pullman because it has three sleepers and an observation "section. ft iTEER NUMBER 5 VALPO BASKETEERS TO PLAY BENEFIT GAME MONDAY NIGHT Distinction Between Instructors And Professors Announced In order to eliminate inconsistency in prefixing titles to the various members of the University faculty, the Torch announces a new change In policy which it will follow after this issue in referring to the faculty.

Veterans ol Foreign Wars lo Clash Willi Varsily Men FOR RED CROSS Coach Scott's Brown and Gold bas- keteers will meet the Veterans of the Foreign Wars next Monday evening March 6th in the new Boucher gymnasium. The game is being played for the benefit of the Red Cross. Much interest is being shown in this game among the fans downtown as well as among the students on the Hill. The Vets have an exceptionally strong team, having defeated some of the best Independent teams in this section of the state. The aggregation is made up of ex-high school stars, such as "Dan" Wood and Fred White. They are coached by Schenck, former Valparaiso High School coach. Both teams have officially closed their seasons, so it is necessary that this clash be in the form of a postseason game. V "Capital Punishment" Discussed By Lutherans Dean Kumnick led the discussion at the Lutheran Students League meeting on Tuesday night, February 28. "Capital Punishment" was the subject of discussion. Everyone participated and gave his views on the subject. The majority of those present reached the conclusion that capital punishment is the best deturrent for crime, while life-long imprisonment is the best form for punishment. The needs for a deturrent against crime was shown when one notes that Philadelphia had more homicides in one year than the Dominion of Canada, and that for one murder committed in England there are twenty-five murders in the United States. English Club To Meet At Dr. Pinto's Home The English Club will hold its regular semi-social meeting Sunday afternoon at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Pinto, according to an announcement made by Margarette Ball Dickson, club sponsor. Dr. Viola M. Kimmel, a graduate of Valparaiso University and founder of the School of Creative Education in Akron, Ohio, has been secured as a speaker for this occasion. Dr. Kimmel at this time will be a guest of Miss Rechenberg, an assistant in botany, and has consented to give one of her famous lectures at this occasion. Dean Kumnick Entertains Number Valpo Students Of the 550 recognised American universities and colleges, only 165 are non-sectarian or undenominational. Approximately twenty students were the guests of the Rev. and Mrs. Henry Kumnick at a card party last Saturday evening. The entertainment of the evening consisted of playing "Spark-plug" in which Mildred Fessel was the winner of the grand prise for the ladies and Fred Seidel for the men. Verona Agather was awarded the consolation prise. After the winners were announced, a (Continued on Page 4)
