[II husy times, whcn it be.· co mes necessary to make ust.! of a rderenee book, the old textbook with its marginal nOll'S amI its b· milinr cliagrams, for mulas. and most important of <111, with its fanliliar notation, is a great sou rce of help -:\ fri end in need.

The ne xt best thin~ t" havi ug infor m,lIion in miud i:-. to have it in a hook, to know whcrl: to lind it when w:mtc(l amI how to IISC it whl'n foullt!. It i" just this th'lI makes eng-illt.'e n,' handbooks so tIe· sirable, and eyen these books arc only half :I]lpreei:lted until olle be· comes f:lmil iar with them.

Stuilents should keep th""ir te)ll, hook,., whether they think they wil1 be of furthe r liSe or not. Since most students who ~o throu~h en­g-inecrin~ cou rses follow engineer. ing it is a fair presumption that the books will be used latl,r.

THE JUNIOR HOP.

Another Junior Hop has p:lssed into history. and, as" ith each pre· cedin;! oue, outshone :lll preyions efforli!. \\'eather indkations were not particularly favorable (luring Friday Illoming. but 11 0 serious storm OCl:;urred as that which marr;.·t\ the program in 191Z.

The ball room of the i\bSOllic Temple was a veril:lble garden of roses, which were inlersperde<i among the beechwood leaves, \\ is· teria, and ferns. No brill ianllights were in eddence, bUI the effect was a be.lUtifu! pink glow.

Preceding the progrlllll of dances, those lIssembled g-athered in the beautifully decorated diuillg room of the temple, where an eillborate eight course dinner was sen ·ed. A t the close of the fenst. the p ro· gram of toasts was gi"elJ, with Mr. O. \\'. Frllllciseo, president of the class, in charge. Responses were made as follows: Erllest B urt, "1914:" Ernest lIart, '; The Fttir Sex;" George Gauthier, "Ath· letics ;" )1 iss Frances Kirk," Q. E. D." Messrs. Lavers, Dodge, Conley and Allen, as a quartette, sang several selections, and the pro· g ram closed with "Alma i\l:tter."

P resident Francisco and Miss .1\1 arguerite Erickson, of Dig Rap· ids, led th e grand rqarch, which be­gan at 10 o'clock. Fill:/:eI's I Z

piece o rchestra fu rnished most Cl(·

cellem music, alld the twenty·eight scheduled d:lllces we re not finished until ~ :30 o'clock.

The programs for the young womell wcnt ill the form of white lenther card c .. ses with h:md tinted covcr,.. For thc men, brown leather programs embossed with the Same design as the white. Immediately fallowing the 14th dance a photo. graph was made. and f.lvors for the evening gi"en out. ThC5C con~isted of small, round sih-cr frames for the young womell and silver tie clasps for their c~corb.

The patrons for the cveuing' were Pres. and }.Ir .... Sunlcr, DI;:ril (;il· ch ri.,; t and Prof. )llicklin.

It was a tired crowd that boarded the cars for ~1. A. C. in the wee small honrs of the morning, Iml self·sati:sfied all the same, for tl1l.: big party was u huge success.

The Ero Alph ia ns hold lheir win· ter term party in the agricu ltural b uilding assembly hall, and the Union Lit. Society hold forth in the armory next Saturday evening.

M. A. C. VS. NORTH­WESTERN.

The Home Team Lose By Two Points.

The ~1. A. C. basket hall team suffered its jjrst defc,lt Thursday night when the E\,:iIlston boys uosed Ollt a victory in the college Armory by the narrow margin of olle basket.

The game was fas t aud furious from the s tut, the visi tors having the ad"ant:lge of weight and height. The)' secured a lead at the begin­ning of the contest which was main · tained througholll, Wilh the excep· tion of a tic which came nt the vcr)' beginning of the second hal f.

Spencer was injured and obliged to retire in the first half. He W:IS replaced by Reynolds. The Miller Brothers, Chamberla in and Goss plaved the first half. In the second. \ " a't :/: and vlIuthier replaced the ~Iillers, Burt goin!! in at center. As the score was tied :It once, things began to look hopeful, but the \·isi· tors again took the lead and main· tained it throughout.

The tearn work of both the \·isit· ors and home boys was of the best and the con lest was w~I.tc.hed bv a large nllmber of Lansing pco'plc, including the gove rnor and se\·eral legislators.

F o llowing is the summary:
