with a bunch of veterans that in
clude both LeCronier and Brooks,
well known to Alma baseball fans.
Brooks will perhaps be best remem-
bered by Alma fans from his game
against the Republics a year ago last
fall, when he was hurting with the
Erd Motor team Of Saginaw. At
that time Brooks forced Rip Hager-
man to go twelve rounds before the
Alma team won l TO 0. LeCronier
piled up a big string of victories
with the Transport Trucks last year,
that was not broken until the Repub-
lies slammed them hard late in the
season.
There is no question but what the
Normalites will bring the strongest
pitching staff TO Alma, that has ever
gone onto Davis field to oppose the
collegians.
Against this great array Of talent
Coach Steele will send an untried
nine into the field, which the fans
hope will rise to the occasion and
show some real baseball. The work
outs of the local squad have been hit
hard by the weather conditions,
which naturally have retarded the
work Of Coach Steele in grinding
out a capable bunch of performers,
but indications are that Alma will
be represented by a good team in the

that LeCronier, who held the West

Mr.. Better has had wide expert
ence and broad training in the Cost
and Accounting field, which he en-
tered in 1905, through the Motive
Power Department Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad at Philadelphia.
After three years service with that
Company he joined the Standard
Arms Company of Wilmington, Del
aware, where, for two years he had
charge of that concerns Cost Ac-
counting Department. His next i'm
portant position was with the Du
Pont Interests at Wilmington, where
Better served for two years as Ac-
countant in charge of their Black
Powder Machinery Department.
After leaving Du Pont Mr. Better
became connected with the j. G. Brill
Company of Philadelphia, manufac-
turers of railway cars and trucks,
where he occupied several positions
in their Cost and Accounting Depart
ments prior to being appointed
Works Accountant in 1915, which pc
sition he resigned after two years
service, to join the Cost Accounting
Bureau of the Government Aircraft
Production at Elizabeth, n. j. Later
he was stationed at the Spltdorf
Electric Company, Newark, n. j., on
Government work, and in 1918 was
appointed Supervisor of Accounts
for the Section of Gauges and Stand
ards, Bureau of Aircraft Production,
in New York City, where he served
until the close Of the war.
During Mr.. Beitler's connection
with the Republic institution he has
shown constant evidence of conscen-
tious and untiring effort in develop
ing the Company's present efficient
Cost and Accounting Records, and
was instrumental in completely re-
vising its general Cost System.

ALMA DEBATERs LOSE TO HOPE
Continued from page one)


either socially or economically, with
out disastrous results.
Mr.. A. Rynbrandt, the second
speaker for the negative, argued that
exclusion would be disastrous pol
icy because it would increase illegit-
innate immigration, it would be a
discriminatory act against Japan, it
would produce racial prejudice, and
would be detrimental to our friendly
relations with the Japanese nation.
The contention of the final affirm
alive speaker, Mr.. Robert Wyatt,
was that. economic conditions were
such that there could be no further
Japanese immigration without en-
dangering the country. He also
showed that public opinion, which
must be regarded, should be needed,
and that exclusion was not a discrim-
inatory measure.
In the last speech for the neg
ative, Mr.. Peter DeVrees, introduced
a plan of regulation of immigration
in connection with the per cent
plan, which would regulate all immi-
grafton according to the demand for
it in this country, and which would
take in the japanese as a particular
instance of the whole problem. Mr..
De Vrees must be given great credit
for the mastery way in which he
handled his argument, and the eff
fectiveness of the argument he put
forth.
The chairman of the debate was
Dean James f. Mitchell.
On the whole the two sides showed
an especially good command of the
facts in the case. The strongest
point of the Hope argument was I'M
doubtedly their plan, while the non
assimilation argument of the affirm
alive was very effective The show
ing which Alma's debaters made was
a good one. Vreeland put forth the
best constructive argument for his
side, and Wyatt excelled in his re-
buttal Hudson showed himself to be
n good all-around man, and will I'M
doubtely develop into one of Alma's
strongest debaters.
The second of the triangle debates
will be held at Olivet, where Alma's
negative meets the Olivet affirma-
tive.

LECTURES ON U. of NJ. LIBRARY

INSTRUCTED windows are necessity
tial feature, and Therefore large, UNI
Quick, satisfactory service is also
very important, ard this is possible
if public catalogues and charging
desks are centrally located, and near
the book stacks.
Architects are prone to plan Ii
braries from the aesthetic viewpoint
only. In tie building of this new
library of the University of Michi-
gan an effort was made to have util-
ity and convenience the main fea-
lures, and to avoid the mistakes of
other notable Libraries.
DR.. Bishop stated that REINFORCED
concrete, with brick facing, is as
satisfactory for large libraries as
steel with brick facing, and much
less expensive.
Floor plans, and exterior and in
terror views of the new building-so
recently ompleted-gave the audi
ence very clear idea of the con-
venient and serviceable arrangement
Throughout from basement to fourth
floor.
Increased bookstack capacity may
be provided in future by running the
stacks up several stories higher,
when needed.
In the fine system of reflected
lighting, of the main reading room,
the fixtures are placed just above
the bookcases, thus making it posi-
BILE to clean the bulbs weekly, there
by providing full power of the lights,
undimmed by dust.
In other, smaller reading rooms
and work rooms a system of sus-
pended lights, invented by Prof
Shepard, of the University Faculty
has worked out most satisfactorily
This affords both reflected and direct
light, in such a manner as not to
shine in the readers eyes.
The cost Of this entire plant was
only % cents per cubic foot, as
against 70 cents or S1.00 per cubic
foot of other wartime buildings.
Although the University. of Mich
igan library is not as beautiful, ar
chitecturally, on its exterior, as il
might have been had the state been
able to afford larger appropriation
for such beauty, yet the interior of
this building is proving so satisfac-
tory as to bring librarians and ar
chitects from far and near to study
its advantages.
DR.. Bishop explained the inter-
library loan system for books, and
the library extension service which
supplies hundreds of high schools
throughout Michigan with current
periodical clippings and pamphlets.
In Dr. Bishop one recognizes the
very unusual combination of scholar
and keen, wide-awake business man;
and to have heard him on this sub
ject was indeed a great treat.
