SIGMA TAU SCHOLARSHIP
MEDAL WON BY LARSON
Freshman Award Goes to Winner on
$3.50 Average for 80
Credits

At a student assembly in the audi
torium Wednesday morning, Rho
chapter of Sigma Tau, presented the
official Sigma Tau scholarship medal
for the year 1929 to Junius Larsen
of Nampa.
Mr.. Larsen was a freshman in the
college of engineering last year, and
by reason Of having made the highest
scholastic average among the reg
ularly enrolled freshmen in the col
lege of engineering, or the school of
mines, was awarded the Sigma Tau
medal. His average for the wear in
the regular SO credits was $3.50. Mr..
Larsen did not return this semester,
and accordingly was not present to
receive the medal
In recognition of the high average
made by Mr.. Sokolnikoff, who was
freshman in the college of engineer
ing last year, and who completed his
course of 35 credits for the year
with an average of $500, Sigma Tau
is also granting him medal
In order to avoid any difficulty in
the future, it is the decision of Sig
ma Tau to grant the official scholar
ship medal to the incoming sopho-

MiTTEN GIVES RECITAL
FIRST VESPER OF YEAR
Difficult Program Receives Much
Praise from Prof. Bangs and
PIeases Audience

An exceptionally difficult musical
program was notably we'll given by
Frank Mitten last Sunday at the Yes
per services in the university audi
torium.
"a program that few university
students are able to give was Prof.
Bangs remark This recital brought
to light one of the best individual
talents among the local students.
The program consisted of classical
music by the famous compose rs,
which Mr. Mitten played in way
that gave credit, both to himself and
the authors, besides being unusually
difficult it was very long for Que per-
son. 1t reflects much credit on Miss
Sharp, his instructor in music, who
has helped him to his accomplish
ments.
An audience of about two hundred
greatly appreciated this unusual
treat, but the size of the audience
came far from being appropriate to
such an occasion.
This was the opening number of a
series of Vesper services that will be
given at different times during the
ocming year. Those who enjoy real
music and are in want of a Sunday
afternoons entertainment will find
that nothing else could come closer
to suiting them.

FIRST WIN O LABS

In playing off the tie game from
last Thursday the Laboratory men
won their first game by a decisive
margin. In fact, it was the highest
scoring in any game. This was the
second game lost by the Mechanics
and Power. The score was 10 to 5.
From the start Spicer, in pitching
for the M. & P, could not get to his
old form. So with a few hits, a walk
and three batters hit by a pitched ball
the Lab scored four runs, but even at
that they did not get the number they
had chances to pile up. Ten men bat
ted that first inning. Three were put out
and three left on base. So it was but
four runs that came in.
The Mechanics repeated this in the
fifth, when Price began pitching, and
the bases were filled with but one out.
No one scored for he famed the two
heaviest hitters, Tice and Bake.
Emil Atlwegg at last gets a game
won. which he has long deserved. He
held the game well in hand by allow
ing but four hits, but he caused con-
Germ in the fourth INNING when he
opened it by pitching nine balls in
succession. The Mechanics had these
two on base tie the score when Mercer
brought them in by a good single be
tween third and short.
The Lab men did heaps of hitting
and it did keep them in the lead ex-
cept for the once when tied. Yet, the
lead was never considered safe be
cause when in the field they put across
errors by the wholesale. At recover
ing the errors Batten pulled a good act
twice. In the third after Whitesell
had missed a fly and Matthew had
fumbled two grounders, he, himself,
fumbled Brunhammer's %grounder, fell
over to get it and finished by reaching
cut and pounding second base with the
ball while still on the ground. Then
in the last inning with Mercer on first
Pennington hit to Matty and he missed
it. Luckily. it bounded toward Batten
and ne caught it up with the ha9
hand, then dove to second i. time TO
get his gloved hand there Just before

However. he did some work alone by
catching tire foul flies and getting one

perfect standing by getting the wild
throw when Patterson had mutfed
Barkdull's fly and had to hustle to
recover the ball and catch snapper

Attic the hits were few, McVaugh

ON GETTING AHEAD

It is unfortunate that when most Of
us think of education we think OF
school. The greatest fallacy is that
the measure of a mans education Is
the number of years he has spent in
school.
You do not have to go to school to
become educated.
Life itself is an education.
The man who is really alive knows
more today than he knew yesterday.
The best a school can do is to give
us a schedule. The school can help US
to organinze our study, to check our
selves up, to hold u attention to a
fixed line. But if we do not desire
to learn, the school can teach us
nothing.
The chief value of a school educa-
ton is that it relieves one of a false
sense of inferiority. In other words,
it promotes confidence.

Wherein success may be in doubt,

They've ever looked a problem DER;
Responsibility they shirk,
And seem to fear unusual work,
This is the phrase of do or die:

Would there were more young men to-

When duty calls to them. who's say

Would fear had not so strong a hold
On mortals, and that more were bold;
Bold in their willingness to face
The tasks that are not commonplace,
To answer doubt with this reply.
