Quiet Night Riot
Sage was serenaded last Tuesday night by a group composed of men from all fraternities. Reports say, “Somebody started to sing and everybody; just came over.
A warm and quiet Octobernight provided the mood for a quiet riot in Fraternity Row this Tuesday evening, the first night of October.
About 11 p. m., influenced by the b risk but still warm weather, b u ll sessions moved outside, and inter-house yells form ulated into a three-house serenade in back of the P h i Tau w arrio rs’ wigwam.
From here, events moved rapid ly into a snake-dance movement, w hich sang its w ay a- round the Quad Yard, through the Siggie house, and to the logical destination of any night party, the front yard of Sage H all.
There, Gonzo, directed a spontaneous, pan-fraternal serenade, w ith coral movements generously supplied by Haering and A n d ler (see photo).
It was at the outset of the “Law rence F lu ” epidemic, and bathrobed figures a p p e a r e d coughing on the scene.

Flashbulbs popped, and voices harangued, from darkened Sage windows.
W estward Halt
A fter the Sage stop, a move on westward to Orm sby was halted by the lateness of the hour, and the mob fell aw ay in midstreet, thus ending the first fall riot, more sophisticated than the spring ones, on one of the last before the cold nights set in.

“The first rehearsal of thc Messiah w ill be held Thursday (last night) at 6:30 p. m. in the recital hall of the Conservatory. Faculty and staff are cordially invited to attend. There are openings in the tenor and bass sections; those interested are urged to attend the rehearsals each Thursday.”
In a later statement Mr. Maesch commented, “There are enough women in Concert choir and women’s Glee club; I would accept others under unusual c ircumstances. They would have to audition. However, I don’t want to encourage upperclass women not in the choirs to try out because I have enough already.”

FroshDisplayBrawn
It seems that the class of ’61 has braw n as w ell as brain. The freshmen considerably outpointed the sophomores as they won the anunal Frosh-Soph day, held last Saturday.
Out of six events the sophomores outpointed the frosh in only one— the sandbag race. R u mor has it that this was only because the soph's bag broke and the sand spilled out, m aking it considerably lighter to carry.
Otherwise, the honors in the four-legged race, touch football for the boys, field hockey for girls and the tug of w ar went to the frosh.
The frosh thus won the right to discard their beanies, a perog- ative w hich most of them had already started to observe. In Convo two days earlier, for example only about ten girls out of the whole mass of freshmen in the center w ere green-capped.

i n S e c o n d C a l m S e s s i o nA "slight problem " concern
ing the SEC budget for the
school year, has led to rather
drastic cuts in several appro
priations. This reconsideration
of the budget one week after its
original approval was due to a
m iscalculation in the appropria
tion of funds in ihe am ount of
$324.
It was thought at the time of the original passage that certain groups (A th letic Board, Choir, Radio, Theatre, and Union) were to receive a fixed appropriation w hich was to be two-thirds of the entire budget. A fter the SEC passed the first budget on September 23, it was found out that these groups w ith fixed appropriations were due slightly more than two-thirds of the budget, hence the revision was made necessary.
In order to increase the a- mount to be given to these groups with fixed appropriations, sm all cuts were necessarily made from the groups subject to variable appropriations. Those groups cut were: A rie l ($175), Law rentian ($50), Social Com mittee ($21), Handbook ($18), Pep Committee ($20), and In ternational Relation ($40).
" I am happy to announce",
said B ill M acArthur, SEC treas
urer, "tha t none of these groups
were cut beyond what they
could norm ally operate on, as I
made personal contact w ith each
of their business managers be
fore suggesting the cuts to be made.”
Several committees which have completed their work for the year reported at the meeting. Sue D ilday reported on the Handbook publication, noting

such changes and additions as L W A rules, a list of freshmancounselors, a sports calendar as w ell as a tentative school calendar, and short articles on W LFM , theatre productions, and other clubs. John Liebenstein reported on a highly successful New Student Week, an opinion also expressed in a letter from Dean M ary Morton.
The final matter of importance was the approval of D unbeck’s appointment of G il Sw ift as cosocial chairm an for the semester.

Worlds Best Films Shown Here
Taketsugu Tsurutani, p r e s i- dent of Film Classics stated recently that the Film Classics program does not seek to take the place of the films shown at the commercial theatres downtown, but only to supplement that diet.
The Film Classic organization aims to bring the best films of the world to the campus. They believe that a student can enjoy a particular society’s treatment of a classic theme as well as reap the benefits from the experience.
Art Group Open to All
Membership in the Lawrence Art Association is now open to all students. Interest is the only prerequisite.
The activities for the coming year are as follows: November3 Edward Green will speak on “Art in the Public Museum.” February 9 Ralph Marlow Line will lecture on architect Louis Sullivan. The final lecture will be held on April 20. Dr. James Watrous of the University of Wisconsin will give an illustrat
ed lecture on Mosiac.Film Classics is an independ
ent organization with no financial support either from SEC or from the college business office. It depends entirely on student organization and cooperation.
The organization now has openings for another junior assistant, two students to take charge of publicity, and two underclass assistants. Applications should be handed into Take Tsurutani at Peabody House or Mike Lepawsky at Brokaw Hall by Tuesday, October 8.
Vets Meet, Set PolicyBy Ted Sutherland
On September 26, Charles Gerard presided over the Lawrence Veterans’ Club at their initial meeting of the school year. Several matters were discussed a this session, including the club’s first party - to be held early in October, veterans’ housing on campus, GI benefits and club membership rules.
Although the turnout was good, Gerard stressed the fact that more veterans should attend the meetings. The club has several important functions. They are: to aid the returning veteran

People are So Good"- Yukioby M argi Carroll
Y ukio Itoh, a freshman from Tokyo, has arrived at Lawrence after years of struggling for an education. H is mother died d uring the war; his father never returned from Manchuria, where he was stationed.
Y uk io was placed in the cus
tody of an uncle, who mistreat-
him . A t the age of eleven he be
gan to wander, sleeping in
trains by night and w alk ing by
day. He finally made Tokyo his
headquarters, bu t continued io
sleep in a train that made a six-
hour round trip, leaving Tokyo
at m idnight.

YUKIO -- SHINED SHOES
In the daytime he shined shot's for Am erican soldiers. “ I made enough to live, but I didn’t pay train fares!” he says. He was soon arrested for this and sent to an orphanage at Hamatsu, south of Tokyo, where he became a close friend of one of tht instructors, Mr. Shinagawa.
Leaves OrphanageThe orphanage supervisor was
opposed to educating the orphans, so although Mr. Shinagawa had only twenty dollars, he left his position and took Yukio and four other boys back to T o kyo. The six of them shined shoes by day and shared one blanket in a basement at night.
Soon they moved north to Gummaken, where Mr. Shinaga- w a’s brother lent them a room. T h is time they sold fish from door to door for a living.
A kind man heard their story and donated 600 dollars which they used to build a house. Thy government recognized it as an orphanage and gave their support.
F ina lly Y uk io could return io
school. He had forgotten some of
his math, but his English had
become relatively fluent from
his conversations w ith ihe A m
ericans while he shined their
shoes.
Mr. Shinagawa offered to send Y ukio to college if he would go on and graduate from high school, which was not compul-

‘T h e college seems excellent to me. The faculty is first-rate, and the student body interesting and very c iv il,” complimented Jorge G arcia Elliot, new English professor.
Since Mr. E llio tt gained his
education and most of his ex
perience in South America and
Europe, teaching at a school
such as Lawrence is different in
ihe sense that the college is a
"very American institu tion".
Mr. Elliott received his degrees in Chile; he also studied at O xford and London u n iversities in England. Between 1946 and 1958 Mr. Elliott was a v isiting lecturer at Oxford, C a m bridge, and London universities.
After the lecture tours, he
worked as a British Council
London Appointee in South
America, spending most of his
tim e in Chile.
From 1952 to 1955 Mr. Elliott was Professor of English and North Am erican Literature at the U niversity of Concepcion; from there he went to the U n iversity of Chile.
At Law rence Mr. E lliott occupies the position of John Hay Whitney profressor.
In addition to his academic
interests. Mr. E lliott is a theatri
cal director and an artist. He
was director of the Experim ent
al Theatre of the University of
Concepcion.
H is paintings have been shown in London, in the C o llective Chilean Exhibition, and in various other places including the United States. He is now in cluded in the Sao Paulo B ien nial, one of six Chileans selected for this honor.
sory in Japan. Y ukio took the necessary examinations and entered high school. A fter graduation, with Mr. Shinagawa paying his tuition, Y ukio went to college in Tokyo; he attended school at night and w orked d u ring the day.
Meets Colonel NoldThrough a friend of Mr. S h in
agawa, Y ukio met Colonel Woodrow Nold, the Tokyo Demolay advisor, who is now an R O TC officer at Lawrence. Before he left Tokyo in 1954 Colonel Nold encouraged Y ukio to study E nglish; and promised that he would try to arrange a college education for him in America.
A fter Y ukio had passed Unnecessary examinations for Lawrence, Colonel Nold a rranged for a scholarship and the Tokyo Demolay chapter agreed to pay his transportation. He is also being sponsored by the M ilwaukee chapter.
Y uk io likes Lawrence and
plans io stay here for four
years. His m ain impressions so
far are "everyone studies so
hard", and "people are so good".

D efeated B y CoeThe injury-riddled Law rence Vikes dropped a 35-7 decision to
Coe College this past weekend. T h is was probably as bruising a battle as the Vikes have had for some time. B ill Volkm an, hardworking fullback, suffered some possibly cracked ribs on the second play of the second period and never returned to action. A fter switching from quarterback to fullback to f ill in for Volkm an, Jack Leatham came up with a back in ju ry w hich hampered his play. Co-Captain George P urucker sprained an ankle w hich slowed him up for the rest of the game. W ingback Je ff Mathews aggravated his arm injury.
Lawrence got off to a quick lead in the first quarter when Jack
Leatham recovered a punt fum bled by the Coe safety m an on the
Coe Twenty yard line. From here it took the Blue and W hite seven
plays to h it the end zone. B ill Volkm an plunged the fina l four
yards and added the extra point to give the Vikings a 7-0 advan
tage at the end of the first quarter.
THE L A W R E N T I A NPA G E 4 OCT. 4. 1957
Four little A ll Am erican football players in five years is another exceptional record of L a w rence College.
The Kohaw ks then tied tha score as they marched 77 yards in 11 plays with sophomore fu llback Eldon P yle scoring from 11 yards out. John Je rm eier made the first of his five consecutive extra points. Just before the half ended, J im Troy capped Coe’s second march w ith a 30 yard jaunt around end and Coe led at the half 14-7.
A fter D ick Com pere’s quick kick had set the home team back to their 23 yard line early in the third period, the Kohaw ks marched 77 yards for their third touchdown. Q uarterback Je rry Stoneberger scored the T. D. on a keeper play from the 13 yard line. A second down pass was intercepted and returned to the V ike 26 yard line. Here Coe ground its way to their second touchdown of the period as Stoneberger scored on a q u arterback sneak.
When a V ikin g drive was stopped on the Coe 31, the K ohaw ks drove for their final touchdown and scored it on a 16 yard pass from Verlon B ritt to D ick San- dercook. D ick Com pere almost broke away on the follow ing kickoff, being halted on his own 48 yard line. A bit later a 35- yard touchdown pass from Com
pere to Jim Leatham was called back.
The injuries to veteran regu
lars V olkm an and Purucker put
a great deal of pressure on the
younger Vikes. They fought
hard, but faded before the super
ior depth of the Coe squad who
had 44 men dressed for the game
as compared w ith the 22 V ikings
who made the trip.
In spite of the almost unprecedented num ber of injuries, both the Law rence coaches and players feel they can beat G rin nell Saturday.

Vike Harriers Face PioneersSeven V ikin g H arriers w ill run
this Saturday when the crosscountry season opens. Law rence w ill play host to the G rin n e ll thin -clads. Since both teams are pickl'd for first d ivision berths in the conference, this in itial match should be an interesting one, and should answ er some questions about thc V ik e ’s title chances.
Coach Denney feels that Cor
nell w ill be thc biggest threat
this year,. The Rams have six
regulars returning from .last
year's fifth place outfit, in add i
tion to two spohs who placed
1st and 3rd in last year's fresh
man telegraphic meet.
Carleton and Monmouth, second and third placers last year, can also be expected to give stiff competition.
Law rence has three lettermen from last year's fourth place team, plus some talented sophs. Captain Ted Sutherland, the versatile senior athlete who can run anything from the quarter mile up, is expected to be thc V ik e ’s big gun this year. Ted, who placed third in the conference last year, has shaved 10 seconds off his old record in the practice at the m unicipal golf course and should be in top form.
Juniors Dave Berganni and John Ross, and Senior Jim Sm ith round out the lettermen. Smith, a service returnee, who specializes in the tw o-m ile run in the spring, could be a mainstay if he returns to form. Berganni, 13th in the conference last year.
Quad SquadsAn im pressive victory by the
Phi Delts over the Delts highlighted the opening games of the interfratem ity football season Monday. In the process of ra ck ing up their 30-0 win, the Phi Delts showed a versatile passing attack with Joe Q uick and B ill Wood doing the throwing. John Owen had two touchdowns for the winners and Jack Close and B ill Wood had one each. The Phis’ other two points came on a safety.
In the other game played M onday, the Betas defeated the Sig Eps 14-6. T h is game was pri m arily a battle of defenses as neither team could get a sus tained offensive drive going. The first half was scoreless with neither team threatening to score. E arly in the second half after a Beta d rive had been stop ped, Jack Vanderveld of the Betas intercepted a short pass and ran about twenty yards for a touchdown.

“Tape it up and ru n it off”, so fam iliar to gridm en at L a w rence, is fast becoming the V ikin g theme, song. N ever can present students recall a V ik e football team so beset by injuries. A few are alw ays expected, but what can a coach do when half of his men are on the shelf or at least ought to be? It ’s bad enough ,to lose some of your key men for half a season. B ut when you still have to send in men w ith broken noses, charlie horses, and broken fingers and then ask them to play a good, hard game, it starts getting rough.
Getting down to the concrete facts, no less than thirteen V ikes are injured. A nd when the casual observer sees who it is that is injured, and fo r how long, it looks almost hopeless for the gridm en to come out w ith a w in ning season.
For instance, there's Rick
Ramsey, who would be starting
quarterback, out since before the
first game w ith a broken hand.
A t the earliest, R ick w ill be rea
dy for R ipon. A nd our fullback,
B ill Volkm an, if he is able to
start this weekend against G r in
nell, w ill be very hampered by
in jured ribs.
Sim ilarly, the other top back- field men are out for indefinite periods, and if they should get back into action soon, they w ill likew ise be hampered, Dave M ulford by a dislocated shoulder, Jack Leathern with general back injuries, and Je ff Mathews with a bad shoulder. Even if these men can start, it is not in conceivable that they be lost early in the game with aggravations of these injuries.

Monday’s game between the Phi Taus and the Phi Gam s was postponed and w ill be replayed at a later date, according to Ken Haeberle, interfratem ity athletic manager.
This afternoon the Delts play the Phi Gams, the Betas oppose the Phi Taus, and the Phi Delts face the Sig Eps. The latter game should give a good indication of how good the Phi Delts are this year. In M onday’s games the Phi Gam s oppose the Sig Eps, the Delts play the Phi Taus, and the Betas face the Phi Delts in the outstanding game of the day.

The halls of Beta Theta Pi rang with the shouts of unexpected merriment last Friday evening.
All of the Betas- pledges and actives alike - were seated around the living room for their usual after-dinner activity, an hour of informal fellowship. At about seven-thirty the fraternal solemnity of the occasion was rudely shattered by feminine squealing emanating from the basement.

Each group then received an ultimatum from the other, and once the formalities had been completed, everyone settled down for an enjoyable evening of conversation and dancing.
Now that the dust has settled and all freshmen have oriented
the Campus Gym and the hockey field to their respective places, two voids may be discerned in the ranks of the WRA Board. The chairman for ping pong-arch- ery and a co-chairman for publicity have missed the yearly immigration to the campus.

one singer's opinionThe Messiah, the only school function in which virtual
ly the entire student body participates willingly, began rehearsals yesterday. With one minor change. It has been decided to exclude those women not in choirs, unless they wish to individually audition and petition the director.
This decision, made in the interests of musicianship and expediency, seem to thwart the prime purpose of the Messiah Chorus and the oft quoted purpose of its director, that “everyone should have a chance to sing.” Although the music will be sweeter and the attacks cleaner, the spirit will not be there, as the thrilling music of Handel becomes another program in a long series of “good musical” programs.
Not only will the spirit and the thrill be gone but the disappointment which this slaughtering of tradition causes will create bad feeling that will not soon be forgotten.
The parts, however, will balance, the harmony will be superb, there will be no problems created by all those enthusiastic i>eople who are glad to rehearse and work to be a part of this great oratorio.
It only depends on your preference, coldly perfect music, presented by a tidy looking ensemble or music that is merely good, that is filled with dynamic power and surrounded by long tradition.

Past Freedom GateB Y JU D Y P E D E R S E N
Down the Avenue on the 17 th of June, we rode. We were in Berlin, West Germany and our destination that day was East Berlin. This is not quite as dangerous as it sounds, for one may enter the Russian Sector with tke United States Army or with any of the tours which leave from the Kempinski Hotel on the Kurdam, or one may enter the sector with a West Berliner.

The latter was the situation w hich I found m yself in this summer. We traveled down the avenue toward Brandenberg Gate where a Red Flag waved. We passed under the gate to an unbelievably bleak and stark area. Here various shades of somber gray give contrast to the technicolor scent's in West Berlin.
Th* rubble of buildings has been cleared away and in their •tead only large vacant places remain, like huge gaping wounds w hich refuse to heal. It was not lhe gay capitol my parents knew in 1930.
There are no cafes upon the Unter den Linden, nor are there any to be seen elsewhere. The shops are few and carry a meager selection compared to the abundance to be found in thc stores of West Berlin. The streets are desolate compared to West B erlin and peopled with poorly dressed citizens. Their clothes were a nondescript mud color so that they seemed to be a part of the slate gray buildings.
The people cannot rebuild, for the state has confiscated all property. Most live in old b uild ings, many of w hich bear the brutal scars of w ar and in some cases are m erely ruins. But, of course, there has been some construction. There is the build-
A few new apartment b u ild ings have risen, but ii one looks carefully through the arcades at the street level, one can detect the shallowness of the building's depth. I was told that the fa* cades were the only im pressive part of the buildings and that all were reserved for Com m unist party officials.
The only street that has been developed is Stalinallee. It is a wide boulevard lined w ith very ordinary looking buildings. The Berlin Palace was taken down by the Reds for a new square, and Berliners are repairing the Brandenberg Gate, the East sector is , repairin g columns w hile the West is recasting a statue. When this w ork is fin ished the Red Flag w ill be hauled down and one of the few joint efforts between the two sectors of the city w ill end.
Meanw hile six thousand refugees a week pour into the western sectors of the city. My visit there was brief, but the city of gray has made an indelible im pression on my mind.

h e l l w e e k sOver a two-month period last summer Fort Leonard
Wood, Missouri, the garden spot of the scenic Ozarks, was besieged by a total of nine ex-Lawrentians, eight of them members of the class of ’57. The ninth man, while at Lawrence, was of indeterminate class status but was most often associated with that class.
The men had entered the army under the conditions of the new six months program of active service, better known in military circles as “draft dodgers paradise.” Fresh from the scholastic and not-so-scholastic rigors of a senior year at Lawrece, a year capped ---------------------------------------------------by the traditional “senior week” activities, these Blatz-blooded ex-collegians were m entally and physically ready for anything.
Basic training at Fort Wood during the summer is something akin to being subjected to an overly enthusiastic fraternity f'H e ll W eek" w hile actually in the fires of Hell. However, there does exist one redeeming factor - the pay scale of 11.31c per hour, every hour. 24 hours a day. seven days a week (no dou ble time).
Banking heavily on their lib eral arts background, the re cruits easily absorbed the in tricacies of the eight count pushup, close combat (m erely a review of fraternity basement techniques), personal hygiene, care and cleaning of the M -l rifle, night crawling, and the gas chamber (surprisingly sim ilar to organic lab on a hot spring day.)
Despite their stanch R O T C background, there was an occasional lapse. Follow ing his performance on the tirin g range with the M -I rifle, one nameless V iking was issued a club and track shoes with appropriate in structions. H is only comment was a mumbled 'T h a t --- gun was never covered in the R. O. Blue Book.”
H aving more or less completed the prescribed eight weeks of basic, each man eagerly awaited his next assignment, based on a series of aptitude tests, to a specialized school, a school where he would reap the profits of his Law rence-nurtured talents.
Four of the men, Roger Lalk, Bob Fox, Pete Dohr and Joe Zieman are at present perform ing the manual of arms with their respective khaki-colored Remington Rands at clerk-typist school. Roger, the seasoned veteran of the Korean war, has all but given up his last ditch attempt to save the few rem aining

W ith his critical math m ajor C h u ck M erry was almost fissured of a top secret assignment in some phase of the arm y's IC B M program. However, at the last report he was still clinging te- aciously to the top of the 30 foot telephone pole he somehow scaled three days ago at a pole lin e man's school.
The last member of the group to reach Fort Wood, Jim Petrie, has yet to negotiate the fu ll eight weeks. However, taking his cue from those who have gone before him, he has buttonholed every V IP on post in an effort to pull an assignment into the special services division under the guise of a cartoonist w ith certain shaky references.
And there, scattered across the nation from C a lifo rn ia to G eorgia, we w ill leave our nine L a w rentians, each of them content in the knowledge that only a few more months remain.
