far consist of an Oakley grinder, a
Garvin universal milling lathe; a

sale of n~achine tool equipment to
educational institutions at a price of
15 per cent of cost. Professor Airey

last 10 years. .

ing under the basket, where the Chi-
cago team was able to throw nearly
all of the winning scores.

PLAN -TO FORM CLUBS
FOR LEADING CANDIDATES
General opinion on the campus
seems to favor the holding of a mock
political convention.,
Dean Henry M. Bates strongly fav-
ors the idea, believing participation
and interest in public affairs makes
for better citizenship. "American pol-
itics demands the participation-of un-
iversity men as never before," .said
the dean, "and in these discussions
principles should be emphasized, r'ath-
er than petty politics.",.
Would Select Delegates
Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, favored
the selection of about 600 delegates,
who would occupy the main floor of
Hill auditorium. In addition to prac-
tice in speaking, Professor Trueblood
believes that the insight into the big
affairs of the day would prove valu-
able.
Professor Robert T. Crane thought
the convention would be a splendid
thing. He favpred the' formation of
various clubs for allleading candi-
dates. Each club to work for .their
candidate as in a real convention.
George Hurley, '18L, pointed out
three major advantages arising from
a convention of this character, (1)
provision of a medium to bring the
ouestions at issue before the stu-
dents: (2) stimulation of interest in
the affairs of the nation; (3) practice
in sneaking' and in the conducting of
such a political institution.

Dean Bates Favors Plan \
It was not conceded that th

as a result of this sought-after pri
lege, creating a place of parti
wrangling, but it was held by th
interviewed that the auditori
should be made an assembly for
giving of speeches in keeping with
conservative policy of the Uulvers
Dean Henry M. Bates of the I
school said, "I favor the opening
Hill auditorium to responsible org
izations for the discussion of pul
questions, provided such discussi
be limited to the sincere and c
structive consideration of such pr
lems and to the exclusion of misc)

Brumm also believed that there wo

Prof. R. T. Crane of the poli
