'The President's Letter receiving regularly the alumni magazine. We know, however, from the experience of other schools undertaking alumni work, how difficult it is to路 awaken interest among graduates and former students who have lost contact with their Alma Mater for years and, therefore, we are not discouraged and will proceed hopefully with our work during the coming year. ,_At this time we again _wish to make an earnest appeal' to all loyal alumni who are assisting in maintaining the Alumni Secretary's office to enlist the interest of the alumni of their classes or a<;quaintances, so that at this time next year we may be able to present a finan cial report that is more encouraging, if not meeting entirely our expectations.
December 15, 1929. To the Alumni of the University of Dayton: I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend my best wishes and the best wishes of the faculty of your Alma Mater to all the Alumni and friends of the University of Dayton for a joyous Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. Just one year has passed since I addressed my first letter to the Alumni in the pages of the University of Dayton Alumnus, announcing that the officials of the Alumni Association had decided to establish a Secretary's Office with a full time Alumni Secretary. In the course of the year I received many favorable comments on the judicious choice made in selecting Merle Smith, '25, for the position of Alumni Secretary and on the alumni activities started and promoted through his office and the alumni magazine. On the other hand, I regret to inform you that we have not had a satisfactory response on the part of the alumni in general and, as a result, we are closing this first year with a considerable deficit. Our aim was to have at least one thousand alumni subscribing five dollars each annually for the support of the Alumni Secretary's office. There are at present time over 1800 alumni
Thanking you _in advance for your co-operation and renewing my good wishes for this festive season, I am Cordially yours,
President.
Editorial dues promptly and trusting those who have time, .to spend their money wisely. The money which is spent on sending repeat notices to members who are delinquent in their dues is money which should be spent for more useful purposes. It is an unfair tax on the paid-up members. It only costs ten cents a week to be a paid up member of the Alumni Association, on which basis two weeks' membership is free. If you are one who has so far neglected your dues for this year, please pay them NOW.
Organized Alumni THE Alumni Association of the University of Dayton aims to keep every alumnus in touch with his university. It hopes to place U of D before him at all times, so that he cannot forget- even in the excessive business and pre-.occupation of life. It is the channel that reminds him and directs him in the display of his loyalty and in paying some of that unpayable indebtedness that he owes to this incomparable "School on the Hill." It may not be possible for each to do a lot, but altogether now in the Alumni Association and with the growing company of alumni each doing something year by year, in a few years a mighty lot can be done for old U of D路. Working together the alumni represent a powerful force, and the Alumni Association of U of D is the medium for the expression of alumni co-operating interests in the Alma Mater on the Hill. United in the Association all may have a small part in a big The Alumnus service for the greater Univerhalf of its staff -sity of Dayton of the future.
A College Education Is Still Worth While pEOPLE sometimes wonder whether a college education in these standardized days in worth while for everybody.

Broadway J ones was the play chosen by Dr . Lawrence Boll, S.M., from a number of plays presented for consideration by the director, J oseph Abel, '93. This play was chosen for t h e opening effort of th e students interested in t.he spoken drama because it afforded a goodly number of male parts and most of which were very important in the development of the story. The play is a delightful comedy written by Geo. M. Cohan, who personally directed its first production and played the title role of "Broadway" for two years with great success. The story is laid' along the Great White Way-Broadway, New York- and in the littl e New England village of Jonesville, Connecticut. With every line a la ugh and an irresistible swing to the action that carri路ed away the audience, this play proved very successful for the cast which had b een carefully sel ected and which certainly put forth great efforts at the rehearsals to make the individual parts so distinctive. The date selected by Very Rev. B. P. O'Reilly, S.M., for the production was December 15, in th e the U of D H all. FIRST DRAMATIC PRODUCTION

Athletic News and Comment By Art Routzong, '32 Grid Season Concluded
Court Practice Begins
Th e inevitable has happened- a losing football team has finally mad e its appearance at the "School on the Hill. " When the Flyers ended their campaign on Thanksgiving Day with the record of four victories and five defeats the season of 1929 was marked down in the books in red ink; in other words, as being a failure.
With the grid season a thing of the past the ath letes at the University have turned their attention to basketball and for the past week the Flyer courtsters have been going t hrough their paces und er the direction of the newly appointed mentor, Bill Belanich. The initial drill was held on Monday December 9.
Some fo lks are surprised that Harry Baujan turned out a losing team this year but t hose fans who are close students of football are only shaking their heads and saying "We told you so." They realize t hat it was bound to happen; they realize that no coach not even the wizard of South Bend, K. K. Rockne himself, can produce a winner year in and year out; they realize that unsuccessful years must be encountered by any and every coach. For seven consecutive years Harry Baujan produced winning elevens at Dayton and then this season he hit the inevitable snag. The Flyers' only major victory was won from St. Xavi,er by a 15-0 score. The oth er triumphs were over Transylvania, 12-6, Wilmington, 7-0, and Indiana Central Nor mal, 33-0. The losses came at the hands of Boston College, 23-7; Detroit, 18-0; Oglethorpe, 20-1 2, the U.S. Marines, 7-6; and Wittenberg, 8-0. The team undoubtedly faced the toughest schedule ever mappeq out for a F lyer aggregation. Moreover, it was a green eleven because twenty men were lost from the fine team of 1928. Then, to make matters worse, the Flyers were "downright" nnlucky. They received plenty of bad breaks and, because of their greenness, generally failed to take advantage of the few good ones they did get. Is it any wonder, then, that the season fai led to turn out successfully? However, it's all over now and it doesn 't do any good to cry over spilled milk so the alum ni, students and fans should forgive and forget and, with r enewed hope, look forward to 1930.
In his first year as a basketball coach "Box Car" Bill finds himself in a bad position, a position which no m entor would envy. Bill is confronted by the lack of seasoned material and a tough schedul e which seems to indicate that the Flyers al'e in for a long, dreary winter. Last year's quintet which consisted of such main stays as Captain Pat Wilcox, "Orange" Crush and Chuck Dehler succeeded in winning but nine out of nineteen games, so • h ow can the present t eam, minus such stars, successfully hur dle an eighteen-game schedule equally as har d as the 1929 program? Exactly two lettermen reported for practice- Captain Johnny Ladn er and Bobby Len.sch, both forwards. Ladner and Lensch should make as great a combination as they were in th eir sophomore year providing that both are able to play. Ladner, it will b e remembered, was one of the best halfbacks on the grid eleven and rose to stardom in th e Boston College game only to bneak his ankle a few days later in scrimmage. The injury kept Johnny on crutches until two weeks ago and the member is very weak, making it still a question. as to how much basketball the "Chicago Blonde" will be ab le to play this coming winter. The injury will no doubt handicap him greatly and may even ke ep him ou t of a number of games. Then, to make matters worse, Ladner's running mate, Lensch, has a torn ligam ent in his right leg, an injury which may k eep him out of action all season.

SATURDAY, November 9, was a red letter day in the history of the school for on that date the Flyers, accompanied by the student body and many alumni, traveled to Cincinnati and ren ewed grid relations with St. Xavier by pounding out a decisive 15-0 victory over their strong rivals. In winning over the Musketeers th e Flyers played as great football as any Dayton team has ever displayed. They compl etely outplayed St. Xavier, scoring a safety in the first quarter and two touchdowns in the final period, while never allowing the Queen City eleven even to threaten. Following the victory Myers Y. Cooper, Governor of Ohio, presented his beautiful Governor's Cup to Captain Gil Gowan. The huge silver cup, one of the finest sport trophies in the middle west, will be annually presented by the chief executive to the winner of the DaytonSt. Xavier game. The score of each game, the year and the winner will be ·e ngraved on the rear of the trophy. ----U.D.----
THE remaining two games on the sch edule, the Marine and Wittenberg ti lts, can be disposed of in short order. Jn neither contest did the Flye~s display the form that characterized their performance at Cincinnati. They seemed worn out after lth eir great effort against the Musketeers. In the Turkey Day clash everything went wrong for the h ome forces, the Flyers actually playing their poorest game of the season, losing 8-0.

---U. D.----
NO W that we have disposed of the veterans let's turn turn to the r·eserve and new material. There are fo ur reserves from the 1929 t eam and all are Juniors- Ed Flanagan and Phil Brun, guards, and "Heinie" Kuntz and "Jake" O'Connor, forwards . Flanagan entered every game last year but didn't serve enough time to earn his letter. He seems slated for a regular guard post this season. The only outstanding man coming up from 'the freshman ranks is Paul Edwards, rangy center from Beardstown, Illinois. Edwards has quite a reputation as a star court performer a nd should be able to more than fill the sh oes made vacant by the graduation of Ed La nge - but one position doesn't make a t eam. -

Flyers in the News The decoration of the University of Dayton Chapel is made possible through the generous impulse of an alumnus who accompanied his gift with these words: " This gift is in gratitude to the University of Dayton and the members of the Society of Mary." At the request of the donor his identity is not revealed beyond the signature: "A .Member of the Class of '02." The cost of the decoration, which is held in the style of the Italian Renaissance period, is $6,000.00. May this be inspirational to others! The many friends of Francis J. (Tom) Powers will be pleased to learn of his appointment as western sports director of the Consolidated Press Association. He started his new duties, with headquarters in Chicago, on December 1. Powers started his sports writing career on the Dayton Daily News. He attended University of Dayton, then known as St. Mary Institute, and was graduated from Ohio State. Ten years ago he left the Dayton News to join the sports department of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. After three years there he joined the Clevland News, with which he has been ' associated until the present time. Powers has made rapid strides in the journalism field, and his ability has been recognized by Consolidated Press, largest wire feature service in the world. Congratulations from U of D. Richard C. Schneble, '26, of 440 Irving Avenue, Dayton, has been elected honorary member of the medical society Alpha Omega Alpha, at the University of St. Louis.

ST. XA VIER-U of D DANCE
One of the most successful programs ever sponsored for the University of Dayton was h eld in Cincinnati at the St. Xavier game and though one may be a trifle late in describing the perfect state of affairs at the game and other places in the city that d.ay, that matters little. The dance was crowded to capacity at the Sinton Ballroom while the banquet was attended by a goodly number. A fine spirit of goodwill existed at the dance where Xavier and Dayton students mixed and "a fine time was had by all." · SPIRITED One of the most spirited stud ent assemblies ASSEMBLY of the year was held in the Gymnasium on Monday November 11 foll ~ wing the victory over St. Xavier two days previous. The cassembly of the students was principally for the purpose of universal applause for the splendid victory over Dayton's neighbor rival and after many cheers were Jgiven, the Governor's Cup was presented to the school in behalf of the team.
The Cup was donated by Governor Cooper of Ohio for the winner and will remain in Dayton's possession until next year's game at Cincinnati. Following the ceremonies in connection with the St. Xavier win, a short program was held commemorating Armistice Day and in memory of the World War victims. After the sounding of taps, Captain Alfred E. Dedicke, U.S.A., addressed a few words to the students. Father O'Reilly, S.M., then declared a half holiday. A GRATEFUL WINNER
Ever since our hard-working Alumni Secretar y asked me to write "Campus News Digest" for the year, I feel that I am a genuine "colyumnist" and in living up to the ways of the rule book "How To Be a Columnist," I find that a story is necessary every now and then. So the story goes, a group of business men were talking things ov·er in the Sinton lobby the Saturday noon of the game with St. Xavier and after one from New York inquired as to which teams were playing that afternoon he became so enthused and interested in the contest that h e put a bet of a thousand dollars on U of Dayton. And as everyone knows the result of the game, our friend from New York was the winner by one thousand dollars. So to many of the U of D football men who · made their appearance at the hotel that evening this New Yorker acted as host, sending them into the Sinton dining room with instructions to order as much as they desired at his expense. - - - - - U .

A College Education Is Still Worth While [Continued From Page 3]
year" (No. 6) ; or "May all happiness be yours not only at Christmas but forever" (No. 2). There are also pamphlets on the counters telling you how to "cheer by telegraph." !f the basketball team of good old McGoopus is having a critical game "send a telegram. It will be delivered and read in the dressing room in a few minutes ... " "Blank-Blank is behind you, rooting for victory" reads one of the ready-made messages. "Fight with everything you have" etc., etc. Order by number. Sets of memorial chimes are now available with paper rolls. "The press of a finger, the turn of a dial, and the Chimes peal forth their lovely, golden throated melodies." There are radio sets that don't even have to be tuned in. Most movies can be understood by people with a mental age of ten years or less. Readycut little ship models for mantels, with all the pieces carefully ::1umbered, can be tapped together about as readily by the dullard as by the cum laude A.B. You can get an "automatic" concertina with a music box concealed in it. Nor do the arguments setting forth the financial advantages of a college education especially electrify us. We are told that the average college graduate may earn $160,000 b his lifetime, as compared with $64,000 for the average elementary school graduate, but that, it seems to us, is not the big thing about a college education. A college education develops a man's mind, teaches him to think hard, work hard, and play hard, multiplies his capabilities, helps him to make the most of himself. That's the big thing about a college education. -
