Bates COLLEGE
Initiation Activities

The third lap of the Initiation
program was passed on Wednesday
! when the tug of war and night shirt
parade were staged. The afternoon
contest, the tug of war. developed
one great surprise in that a dozen
picked Freshmen pulled through the
drenching stream from the fire hose
as many unwilling Sophomores.
Stupefaction reigned among the
Sophs as their chosen champions
were slowly pulled nearer and near
err the awful water. But no miracle
happened to avert the catastrophe
and for the first time in college his
tory the plebes avenged themselves.
The end was not to be thus how
ever, and the Sophs again picked
men and again strained at the rope.
This time fortune smiled on them
and the yearlings were thoroughly
moistened.
The plebes had hardly had time to
don change when the bell in
Hathorn Hall summoned them to
appear in night attire before Parker
Hall. Here the Jealous Sophs lined
them up beneath the windows of the
dormitory. The reason soon became
clear as a barrage Of water bags
was let loose above to find a resting
place in the gathered throng below.
Led by volunteer band the Frosh
proceeded down College st. bearing
suitable signs and sporting several
floats in the shape of dump carts
and wheel barrows. The performers
marshalled by the ever-watchful
Sophs capered through the principal
streets Of the section greeted every
where by shouts and water. In
Sabattus Square the column halted
for the speeches. Mounting a dump
cart several members of the class
bardment from the crowd. This
concluded the program and for a
second time the plebes dragged
themselves to their rooms to dry out.
The Freshman hats have arrived
and are being donned with great
speed. This year the hats are black
with a red button differing from. the
usual garnet and black headgear.
The Frosh will appear at all oc-
casions thus adorned until Thanks
giving ends the period of Sophomore
domination.
With the Wesleyan game drawing
nearer daily the coaches are shap-
ing up a tentative varsity. Practice
has been running smoothly for the
past week and scrinhmage has been
the order of the day. 1t is expected
that about 20 men will make the trip
to Middletown on Friday. The team
which is conceded to be the first
choice is as follows: ends Rowe and
Tarbeil. tackles Captain Scott and
Peterson; guards. Dow and Diehl:
center, Price; quarterback Moulton:
halfbacks Fellows and Rutsky; full
back, Kenny. 1t is by no means sure
that these men will play the full
game. Practically every one is being
pushed hard for his position by men
nearly as good. Other men who will
undoubtedly get chance Saturday
are Ev Woodman and Ray halfbacks.
Folsom fullback and Canty and
Chisholm ends. Thus far the only
positions which are considered safe
from competition are those held by
Captain Scott, Peterson. Rowe and
Price.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 27-(By A.
P)-Better to accommodate the
thousands Of Latter Day SAINTS VINO
desire to enter the famous Salt Lake
temple, there to perform sacred rites
approximately 100000 Is being ex-
pended by the Church of Jesus Christ
Of Latter Day Saints to enlarge the
outer buildings. Workmen nave oeen
busy for over a month and rev
yoore weeks will see the completion
Of the task.
In tunneling for new entrances 70
the temple, portions Of the original
foundation laid about three quarters
of a century ago, were exposed. IN
snection of the foundation shows
that the temple builders took the
precaution to make double arches OF
stone, the better to hold the weight
of the top portion. Several proml-
nent architects and builders have eX-
pressed amazement that such lore
sight was shown in the construction.
On some days upward of 1,500
church members enter the temple and
with the old accommodations 1t was
nearly impossible properly to take
care of them. With the new extern
sions, however which include larger
office quarters for the church record
err and other officials, dining hall for
temple attendants. dressing rooms
and the like, no congestion Is an
ticipated.
AS nearly as possible the builders
of the new additions have eliminated
steps or support posts, so that blind
or aged people may get about more
easily. There is also a children's
play room, where women attendants
will take charge of the children
whose parents are in the temple.
The new construction work is on
the north and west sides of the
temple. 1t is located within an en-
closure to which few non-Mormons
are admitted, and then only with the
permission of the higher authorities
of the church.
