Of a University dormitory.The boy approaches, looks up at

the building, squints into the sun and asks:

“Hey, is dis where day learn youse to be a Red?"

‘W here did you get that idea?”"Gwan, dey do too. Geez, I ain 't

never going to collich an be a Red an blow up the country an’ cities an’ everythin.”

The boy moves on.The world moves on.The boy is bewildered, ignorant.The world is full of these boys,

full of these boys of all ages.The world is full of many doubts,

fears, m isunderstandings, and mis­fortunes.

Will the boy ever reform the world?

A t best he can be taught to un­derstand it.

The pep band, which in recent years has provoked considerable criticism for its inefficiency, will be run under a new system th is year. Mr. E. C. Moore, director of the College concert band, w ill diiect both the concert and pep bands this year. The Tuesday afternoon re ­hearsal will be devoted to concert work, and the Thursday rehearsal, to pep band. Any who are in terest­ed in belonging to the la tte r organ­ization may report at the Conserva­tory at 4:30 p. m. Thursday.

Seven Hundred Mark Approached In Registrations

Six H undred Ninety-Eight In Conservatory

And CollegeWith an enrollm ent of 634 stu­

dents in the College proper and 64 in the Conservatory bringing the total enrollm ent at Lawrence close to the 700 m ark, 688 to be exact, registration will officially close to ­morrow. As usual, the freshmon class claims the largest num ber of students w ith 270 enrolled. The sophmore class has 167 members, the junior class 109, and the senior class 81. Twenty-seven students have transferred to Law rence from other institutions and seven spe­cial students are enrolled in xhc collcge. The freshm an class leads again at the Conservatory where the enrollm ents shows 21 freshmen, 15 sophomores, 16 juniors and 12 seniors.

The women lead the men by v ir­tue of num bers in both the col­lege and the Conservatory. In the College there are 321 women ar.d 313 men and the Conservatory has forty women and 24 men. These fig­ures, however, are complete up to Sept. 30. So there is a possibility that the men may catch up with the women before the final registra­tion is completed. No figures have been compiled as yet on the grad­uate students.

Brinckley Will Play at Initial All College Dance

Annual Climax to Freeh- nian-Sophomore Battle Conies on October 10

Munlhe Will Study Lawrence Library

The Lawrence College L ibrary is to have a very distinguished visi­tor, Mr. Wilhelm Munthe, a Nor­wegian, who has been sent to this country by the Carnegie Corpora­tion to study American libraries. Mr. Munthe, accompanied by his wife, is arriv ing today, having been sent here im mediately by the American L ibrary Association.

FULLINWIDER IN VESPERADr. Percy Fullinw idcr, professor

of violin at the Conservatory, play­ed in a Vespera at the F irst M eth­odist Church in San Diego this sum­mer.

Now that the sophomores have pretty well healed the ir wounded pride, and the frosh have nearly forgotten their overwhelm ing vic­tory, the occasion will be complet­ed w ith a bit of rhythm a week from Saturday night, October 10, at the new Club Alexander. Charley B rinckley’s orchestra will furnish the music, and dancing will be from 8:30 to 12:30 o’clock.

The dance at Club A lexander will place the finishing touches to All- College Day. The date was set a week later than usual because of the inability of the social commit­tee to obtain an orchestra any sooner, and we are sure that cer­tain members of the freshmen class will need tim e out for repairs a f­ter the exchange raids on Ormsby and Brokaw.

Chairm an Robert Bartclla and his aids, Mariam H um lecker and Curt Scheuneman were instrum ental in bringing Brinckley and his .welve "Brincklonians” to Appleton fol­lowing their sum mer engagement at Wausau. After their short stay here, they will leave to fill a w inter en ­gagement at the Hotel Minneapo­lis in Minneapolis. B rinckley's o r­chestra has played on the college campus for a num ber of years for both All-College Club and fra te rn i­ty dances.

Works o f Van Gogh Exhibited at the

College LibraryOn display in th<i lib rary this

week are some of the works of Vin­cent van Gogh (pronounced van Koh), a Dutch impressionistic pain­te r who lived in the la tte r half of the nineteenth century. This d is­play is a timely one inasmuch as the Museum of Modern A rt h: New York has on exhibition a traveling display of his works which has been shown in New York, Boston, and Chicago.

A publication of the Museum of Modern A rt on van Gogh has re ­cently been added to the library, and there are several other books about the artist and his works available there. “The Lust for Life” by Irving Stone, a biography of van Gogh, can be found in the re n t­al collection. Colored reproductions of some of van Gogh’s works have been made by the Chicags Tribune, and these framed reproductions may be purchased for fifty cents post paid through the Chicago T ri­bune Public Service Offices. Nec­essary information can be obtained from the reference library.

Carrel GrandstandsReview Social Whirl

Schalk, Bartella Head CommitteesT he Lawrence W oineus

Association S tric terBeware, all breakers of L. W. A.

rules! Plans were made for stricter enforcement of rules at a meeting of the Judicial Board on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Woodworth, dean of women, addressed the board, urging them to carry out all the rules under the strictest of penal­ties. A rrangem ents were discussed for the supervision of a freshman study table in the library, to p re­vent freshm en from being dow n­town after eight o’clock on week nights. The safest way this year w ill undoubtedly be to obey cam ­pus rules.

The library has finally staged its annual comeback as one of Law­rence’s most im portant social m e­dia. The w alkaround was pretty stiff competition. Then fraternity and sorority rushing kept most of us out of the whirl. Although the girls kept in shape, it is rumored, by dancing w ith each other at rush­ing functions; the fellows were de­finitely out of it.

But now that the carrels once again echo to Don Schalk’s foot­steps, the freshm an girls are pass­ing in review. They operate from an unused book .as a locus, casting about among the Phi Betes, the grinds, and the rest of us for the really good catches. Of course, once caught, there is really nothing to be done w ith them, for Miss T arr’s

motherly eye has seen the process from its generation. You can, if you are lucky enough, keep the “catch engaged in a conversation, if you havfe first taken the trouble to get all of the dope on his football prowess, his track ability, or his grades. Here, however, the law of dim inishing returns operates, be­cause as soon as the conversation becomes pleasingly anim ated, the power behind the throne will v e ri­fy your belief that you have not been really studying. There is only one thing to do. If your staying power is good, you can induce him to sit at your table and look at the pictures in your history book. This is, of course, interspersed w ith coy looks and occasional snicker* ov e r practically nothing. But it works.

Characters Cast For First Drama;

Rehearsals StartTo Produce Jackson 's

Comedy, the Bishop Misbehaves, Oct. 21

Sixteen Students Re­ceive All College

Club Positions

CHOSEN BY ARTHUR

Both veteran actors and new d ra ­matic aspirants will feature in the production of “The Bishop Misbe­haves on Oct. 24. The cast includes five Sunset members and five up ­perclassmen who are not members of Sunset. Don’t let the title of the play be misleading for the cast has already gotten down to business in the routine of rehearsals.

Can you imagine Charles Iw artz as a bar tender? You probably re ­member him best as the Irishm en in “Yellow Jack.” In that he b rave­ly offered up his life for the sake of science, but in the next play he almost forfeits his life in a game of “catch as catch can.”

Donald Schalk, another member of the cast, was also in “Yellow Jack” and in “The Sorcerer.” Shalk grabbed off the hero's part this time. Coincidence. . . His name 13 Donald Meadows in “The Bishop.”

Meadows' affianced one is suitab­ly portrayed by Ann Shattuck, a new comer in a large Lawrence Theatre presentation, However, she's shown us her capabilities in “Lavander and Red Pepper” which was given for the members of Sun­set. as well as in "The Christmas Carol.”

Remember John Bartholomew's cagey English gentleman in "The Sorcerer”? Well, he's an Englishman in this all right, but we'll have to question the "gentleman.” If this play were a melodrama, Bartholo­mew would be classed as the v il­lain. Mr. Waller.

His wife, Mrs. Waller, is a social climber who can’t help regressing to the bottom rung of the ladder in spite of her "elegant” efforts. Syl­via Dubsky. who's been seen in "Shoemaker's Holiday," "In Old Kentucky,” and “Shall We Join The Ladies?” is Mrs. Waller.

The coveted part of the Bishop has been given to Everet: Bauman. Bauman was Agramontc in “Yellow Jack,” and the host in “Shall We Join The Ladies?” A better first class sleuth couldn’t be had for the would-be Sherlock Holmes Bishop.

Edna Miller, who has curbed her dram atic instincts in the past to production work, crashed through w ith the part of Lady Emily, the Bishop's sister.

Wesley Perschbacher in the part of Brooke, the butler, Charles Vau- dell as Collins, the W aller’s Chauf­feur, and Charles Thomson as Frenchy, the man delegated to "car­ry the swag” are making their first appearance in "The Bishop Misbehaves."

Pu t all these together in Fred erick Jackson’s play, add a large dose of laughs, an equally large por­tion of humor, and your result is a most satisfactory diet.

At the first executive Council meeting of the year Student P resi­dent Robert Arthur, appointed six­teen carefully selected students to various positions on the All Col­lege adm inistrative organization. Donald Schalk, former chairman of the social committee, has acquir­ed the chairmanship of the Pep Commitee. Cornet-playing Robert Bartella will direct student social functions. D ebater and actress Eve­lyn Mertins, was announced as chairm an of the Forensic Board.

The athletic committee is well selected, consisting of Jam es S trau- bel, basketball representative, Sam ­uel Leete, track representative and Clifford Osen, football representa­tive. Leete has won the DeGoy E l­lis Plaque for outstanding work in track. »

Hester White chairm an >t con­vocation committee ex-officio, will be assisted by Paul Schmidt and Kermit Bury.

Under the leadership of Donald Schalk, the pep committee, tom - posed of M argaret Hendrickson, John Bartholomew, Frances Smeth- urst, and Thomas Jacobs, surely does not lack experience. John Bartholomew was one of the cheer leaders last year; Mr. Jacobs, ac­tive in college affairs last year, won the Dean’s Cup and this year leads the sophomores into the annual All College Club battle between the sophomores and frosh.

Mr. Bartella, w ith M arian Hum- leker and K urt Scheuncmann, will take charge of the All College Club social activities this year. The en ­tire committee is prom inent in col­lege social functions and will soon be heard from for it is whispered that an All College Club dance is in the near offing.

The new Forensic Board, consist­ing of Evelyn Mertins, Everett Bauman, and Betty Morrison, has good prospects for the coming year. This is not an entirely new experi­ence for Mr. Bauman who last year had charge of Intra-hall debate at Brokaw.

Dr. Kurth Appointed To Institute Staff

Dr. Irvin S. K urth has been up- pointed research assistant at the Institute of Paper Chemistry. Dr. K urth was granted his doctor's de­gree by the University of Wiscon­sin, and comes to the Institute from the G ulf State Paper Company Mill at Tuscaloosa. Alabama. Dr. K urth has also been associated w ith the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison.

Dr. Wriston Sees Radicalism and

Peace ConfusedArticle Clarifies the Stu­

dent Position on Peace

President Wriston, w riting (or the July issue of Bant* Greek Ex­change, scored the lack of discrim ­ination which has resulted in a gen­eral confusion of peace w ith radic­alism. The article was a direct ans­wer to the questions raised by the peace demonstrations of last April 22, when the V eterans of Future Wars and other peace fostering or­g a n iz a t io n s raised their banners against the brand of patriotism and hysteria that leads to war.

Dr. Wriston pointed out that in 1 he United States peace has been becoming a radical activity and a definitely unpatriotic one. Further the general im plication has been that colleges have been tied ip in this set of ideas. Pointing out that the view points of the students have been the products of their home environm ent, of the newspa­pers and news-reels, as well as of the éducation four college years have given them, the president showed that the colleges and uni­versities may claim neither the glory nor the blam e for this pa­triotism or lack of it.

The students, the article goes on, have observed all of the inconsist­encies, the futilities that have been | ram pant in domestic and foreign governments; they have witnessed the ideals of the world in the dis­card, with institutions tram pled underfoot and made mock of; they have seen the flower of democracy replaced by a growing autocracy worse than the autocracies ihcre before them; and most of all they have seen the u tter futility of wars and especially of that war “design­ed to end wars.’*

In the face of these many condi­tions, to expect the student popula­tion of the U. S. to look at this world afire w ith nonchalance is fu ­tile. Today no great principles are at stake, and still the world is rush­ed to war behind new and more thorough machines of destruction driven by politicians.

"Of course, when war cor'es these young people will do as young people always do; they will go to war. But we should expect them and we should en­courage them to exercise such leverage as they may upon pub­lic opinion, in order to prevent a resort to war.

“The stupid confusion of peace w ith radicalism menaces both our sanity and our security. And the belief that students of today are not as patriotic as those of the past is likely to make a breach between youth and mid­dle age, in which middle <gc is certain, in the long run, to be the loser."

FROSH PREPARE FOR WAR

Freshmen Completely Rout Sophs in A nnual B attle

Kurope Now Says ‘When War Come»',

B a k e r ObservesThe apparent prosperity of Eu­

rope was one of the first im pres­sions received by Dr. L. C. Bak­er, professor of modern languages, during his visit to Europe this summer, he told the Appleton Ro­tary Club at a luncheon meeting Tuesday noon at the Hotel North­ern.

The enormous program of rearm ­ament and the campaign under­taken by each government to per­suade its citizens to buy domestical­ly m anufactured goods seemed to Dr. Baker to account for this pros­perity.

Italy and Germany seemed espe­cially happy and prosperous, while in France was evidenced a growing unrest. Soldiers were very much in evidence there. Switzerland too, showed a downcast atmosphere, but the reason there was the low valuj of the franc.

Europeans no longer say “if ,var comes" but rather “when war comes." A new angle to the ques­tion of war, which has appeared in the last eighteen months, is that it will be a w’ar between political ideals ra ther than between coun­tries. The present Spanish revolu­tion is an example of this.

Only one-fourth point separated the first, second and th ird place team s in the annual high school track m eet at Birmingham, Ala., th is year.

At seven-thirty Tuesday evening a group of courageous sophomores gravely (typed w ith one finger) the challenge to the newly arrived Bro- kawites. It was only a few minutes later that Bill Masterson led his hundred odd boys out to do battle with the tw enty sophomores who were in the field.

From behind the lilac bushes, the small group of challengers peered at their opponents, and then with one sigh of dismay ducked for the hills behind Science Hall.

But lo! one erring soph became separated from the rest, only to be caught by the frosh, and with much ceremony he was led to the park to be duly baptized with slime and minnows.

After that, the sophomores stay­ed well under cover, venturing out only once in the open to serenade Ormsby. It was not icng before

Little Theater to Plan Broadcasts

Members Will Give “Dra­matic Gems of Amer­

ican Theater*’“Dramatic Gems of the American

Theater," a new series of radio broadcasts, is being planned by The L ittle Theater. The series will con­sist of six 15-minute programs each week over station WHBY.

Members of The L ittle Theater are adapting well known plays for radio production, each play to be given in six installm ents. The plan will necessitate a change of direc­tors, sound effects crew , and cast for each w’eek. L ittle Theater mc.n- bers will be in complete charge of the broadcasts. Among the plays to be given are “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,” “The Octaroon," “la d y W indemere’s Fan." “East Lynn”, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and “Rip Van Winkle.”

Plans for a tentative program of monthly meetings of The Little Theater w ere made by Miss Alice Kelm and Miss Alicemay W hittier, Co-chairmen, at the first meeting of the board of directors on Tues­day evening at the Metropolitan Cafe. The program will include one or two speakers on ¡subject? per­taining to the theater, one-act plays and cuttings or scenes from longer plays and one or two social events.

The Book Room will be open Saturday October 3 from 9 to II o'clock.

“Good Night, Lady" was lost in bat­tles, for the freshm en had dis­persed their superiors for the night. The battle was not ended, however, for the morrow would tell.

Sophs EntrenchedAt 1:00 Wednesday afternoon, the

exuberant frosh gathered before the Chapel preparatory to marching to the gym. Meanwhile, the sopho­mores were busy entrenching them ­selves above the highway on the viaduct. Rotten tomatoes, apples, and peppers were carried to their fortifications. Then, hiding behind the girders, they waited for theii victims.

Meanwhile the Brokawites were approaching. The defenders fired, but still the frosh approached. They gained the viaduct. This was where the defeat turned to rout, for the disorganized upperclassm en gave up their posts and dashed over the hill and away to safety. The super­ior strategy of the freshm en was disastrous to their opponents' trous­ers.

The defeat on the honorable field of battle was just as disastrous to the sophomores, for they won on­ly the tug of w ar and the girls’ relay race while the freshmen took the boys’ relay, touch-football, bag carrying race, and the horse and rider events.

The freshm en were overjoyed with their success, w hile the experi­enced upperclassm en present just smiled and thought of next year when the frosh would be sopho­mores and would they too go down to traditional defeat.

Spicer Speaks At Convocation

Tells Students Justice and Love are Unchang­

ing PrinciplesIn his address to the students at

convocation last Monday, the Rev­erend William Spicer, pastor of All Saints Episcopal Church, pointed out the problem of the church as i t exists in the w orld today in which life is found to be pitifully inconsistent w ith its teachings. The w orth of the church today lies in the stand which it takes as an in­stitution which upholds the great changeless moral principles of Love and Justice w ith their accompany­ing virtues of mercy, sympathy, equality, and freedom. The church exists as an institution in order to bring persons closer to God and to increase the meaningfulness of life thereby and finds justification for its existence if it can give to the individual an apprehension of the eternal God and the everlasting man. The tru th of these principles and their universal and transcend­ent values is upheld by the church.

As an institution of m oral be­havior which stands for the great changeless principles of Love and Justice, the church can not be both­ered w ith the petty problems of changing customs or concerned w ith false Puritanical restrictions, is tha t many *self-termed Christians do not stand for these two grea* principles, accounts for much of the trouble w ithin the church and in the v or Id outside we can see a breakdow n of all hum an reason and hum an ju s­tice. Citing Germany as an exam ­ple, Reverend Spicer said, “When you take any social 3chemc and exalt it as absolute then you have lost Love and justice as the great principles of m oral behavior.”

An individual must gain from his church through worship and exer­cise of faith and reason in his ?ife, and awareness of an ordered uni­verse in which there exists outside of his own small mind a divine will and reason. He m ust gain a rever­ence for life, and realize the dignity a man achieves when he becomes a son of God and feels himself a part of this world order. O ur cu ltu re to­day is based upon these principles, and they form the nucleus of our m oral order, or law, and our so­cial institutions.

excitement, heightened by the b ril­liant moonlight, which made it pos­sible to see stealthy groups of boys from far across the campus.

The first we heard of it was from a Sophomore who came silently from behind a bush in front of Ormsby, and before he went on in the chase of a luckless freshman, told us of the raiding of the Phi Delt house by a great mob. five to one, of freshmen. They w ere les* stealthy after that, and ganged up on one poor boy. We lost them then, but wandered over to a patch of white on the hill by Brokaw, and picked it up, and another article of clothing which was tied around a telephone pole, and put them un­der our coats.

These made our figures ra ther funny, but nobody seemed to no­tice when we walked into Ormsby and out the second story window to the porch. While we were tacking them up two more ra irs were throw n to us and added to the col­lection. They were taken down for the night, and put up asain for a short tim e in the morning.

Wriston Reports Successful Year

For InstituteEnrollm ent Is L argest; Ad­

ditional U nit Added To B uilding

In a wide variety of respects the past year has proved a very suc­cessful one for the Institu te of Pa* per Chemistry, according to the re­port made by Dr. H. M. Wriston at the annual Institu te mem bership meeting here on Friday, Sept. 25.

The enrolm ent this year is the largest in any year w ith 43 s tu ­dents, 19 first year student?, 11 sec­ond year students, 7 th ird year students, and 6 fourth year stu­dents.

An additional un it was added to the Institute buildings during the past year which v irtually doubled the size of the original building. The addition allows space for the erection of experim ental m achin­ery; it gives additional room for classes, for research cubicles, and generally facilitates both instruc­tion and research. It has made pos­sible laboratory stacks in the low­er stack room of the K imberly building to accommodate the Cap­italized Patent Office Gazette which was transfered by Lawrence col­lege to the custody of the Institute of Paper Chemistry," said Dr. Wris­ton.

The mem bership in the corpora­tion showed the largest increase In any year. During the fiscal year IB new mem bers joined, bringing the total mem bership to 56 corporations. This makes by far the largest num ­ber of mem bers the Institute has had.

To quote further from Dr. Wris- ton's report:

“There have been threo im portant conferences at the Institute in the course of the year. In an effort to develop the cooperative relation­ship w ith the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, a symposium on fiber analysis was held. This was a broad discussion into which as many as possible qualified persons w ithin the indus­try were draw n in order to reach as nearly as possible a concensus of opinion on questions which have long been at issue. The conference was a success and it is to be hoped that it can be developed into a perm anent feature.

The second conference was a dis­cussion w ith representatives of the member mills of the relationship of colloid chemistry to paper making, and was held under the leadership of Dr. Rowland of the institute staff. Tw enty-three members sent representations, and all the evi­dence was that work proved bene­ficial to those who attended.

In early June there was a confer­ence of paper m ill executives. This gave an opportunity to many to visit the institute who had never before done so, and allowed for an interchange of opinion and for for­mal discussion of the work of the institute. This conference was so successful that it was suggested that it should be a regular confer­ence every year.

Taken all together, ‘.here can be no question that this has been the most successful year for the In­stitute of Paper Chemistry educa­tionally, in its contact with the membership, in its research and in meeting its financial obligations.’’

The automotive industry was the largest single used of adver­tising space in America news­papers last year.

New Study TriedAt Beloit College

A new type of study was inaug­urated into Beloit collcge w ith a group of thirteen students who started an experim ent in educa­tional methods last week w hen they participated in the opening sessions of a “correlating sem inar" course in the biology laboratory of science hall.

The course is designed to serve as a preparation for comprehensive examinations and theses which can­didates for graduation honors must write, and also as a valuable study for other seniors who are concen­trating their efforts in biology, psychology or sociology, according to Prof. L V. Ballard, sociology departm ent head.

The course is being oficred to correlate work in the three depart­ments. The course will be taught by Prof. Carl Welty, head of the biology departm ent; Prof. Ole N. Deweerdt, head of the psychology departm ent, and Prof. Ballard. Prof. Paul H. Nesbitt, head of the de­partm ent of anthropology, will be an observer.

Game Is Initial Lawrence Conference Game

This Year

Chicago Waitress Routs Dauntless Lawrence Fans

Coaches Judson Dean and Rich­ard B arker of Cornell Colloge will bring a team of about 25 m en to Appleton tonight ready to meet Lawrence in the in itial confer­ence battle for both squads tom or­row. With ten letterm en to work with, Dean is not too confident with his purple w arriors but a veteran back field does promise offensive pow er as strong as last season.

The Deanmen won two, lost one and tied one in 1935, but was the only outfit to beat Carleton, w in­ning 9-6. Cornell also held Iowa S tate year before last to a 9-7 win.

Leading the Purple flyers are Len Pease at quarterback and Don Petersen at half, w ith their best running attack. The combination of Pease to Cline, at end, has been de­veloped to a perfect degree and C ornell’s passing attack should prove dangerous for the Vikes.

Vlke* Line-up IntactCoach D err w ill probably not a l­

ternate hi* squad from the way they were used in the Chicago game. Holmes looked good at tac­kle and may hang on to a regular job over A rthur. Bridges teem* likely to get the nod at left tackle. Sloan saw a lot of action last Sat­urday and. both Dean and Gaiko w ill be in a t left guard. Berton played very impressively at center enough to insure pretty regular ac­tion for himeslf.

The backfield was shifted around last week w ith W alker in at both quarter and half. Wcidman jlaycd a good game against w eight really cu t of his class and will probably get the regular quarterback assign­ment.

H aak at blocking half was ef­fective on defense but the maroons proved plenty tough for him on of­fensive, the Vikes showing a -31 in yards gained from scrimmage. Vande Walle for right half seemed fairly tight but at full, Hallquist and W estberg will probably a lte r­nate. W hether M aertzwieler and Novalkofski are in shape for con­stant play is as yet questionable. The line-ups:Cornell College Lawrence CollegeCline L E. OsenGrim es L.T. BridgesBowman L.G.

Twenty-Two Frosh Grid Men Report

Denney Finds Only Seven Have High School

LettersCoach Denney w atched the first

work of tw enty-tw o candidates last week as the freshm en scrimmaged the varsity in the ir initial appear­ance. Only seven of the men won letters in high school ball, four in the line, and three as backs. Ken Buesing, all-valley conference at Appleton High, has the quarter­back’s job nailed already w ith G ar­vey, another Appleton man, prob­ably set a t an end position. Jim Nichols, all-suberban in Milwaukee, has grabbed off the other end-flank w ith a couple of inexperienced men also trying. Jack Bodilly, who won three letters w ith Green Bay West, is in at tackle. Masterson of St Crouix Falls, another letterman, won one end but may be converted to something else. Ferguson, Wood­ward, Catlin, and Bruzklewicz may work out well enough as backs with a little more experience. Karll, Vi ney, and Zwergel w ill see action as guards. Jim Marcellus. w ith more weight, could step into a tac­kle berth if eligible, while Nys- trom and Skow could be shifted from ends to tackles. A pparently the pivot position doesn’t appeal to the yearlings as only Gresens, an Appleton man, is out for it.

As a climax to Lie w eek’s rush­ing parties, Zeta Tau Alpha en te r­tained its rushees at a form al din- ner-dunce Saturday night at Hearthstone tea room. A nautical theme was carried out, table dec­orations being shiny chrom ium ships and the favors tiny wooden craft of various models.

Frosh ‘Thumbs' Way From Massachusetts

Exhibiting signs informing mo­torists of his destination was a new form of thum bing which Joseph Knox, freshman of Milford, Mass.. found very useful in reaching the campus in time for registration on Sept. 16.

offering as our only excusc the un ­usual darkness of the early m orn­ing. It was with considerable em ­barrassm ent that we ate our com­bination breakfast and lunch, and, after many apologies, departed.

Upon reaching the street we flipped a coin to see which one of us was to carry the baby s u i t­case. My friend lost and it was with a very uncomfortable feeling that he carried it along Chicago’s loop. Having exhausted our supply of relatives we decided to invest seventy-five cents, apiece, in a room at the “Y” Hotel. The room served the purpose; namely, the disposition of our luggage.

By now our chief concern was in getting out to Stagg Field to see the Vikings in action. We had a couple of Milwaukee Journal press passes and you have no idea how much fun it was telling a couple of wise ushers to go peddle their bleachers.

The first half of the game was alone worth the trip. The Vikes played a hard, fighting game, and, in my opinion, on equal term s with the Chicago boys. After all. it is on­ly the first half that really counts when two such teams, with so de­cided a disparity of reserve strength, clash. It was quite a pleas­ure to meet some of the “alum s"— "Red” Jones, Ed Powers, and Bob Krcll, and not to forget the “Duch­ess.” Kay Price.

We took leave of Stagg Field in a down-pour and walked three blocks in the wrong direction in an attem pt to get to the “I. C.” station. Our clothes smelled like the !nside of a motorm an’s glove after the drenching they received, and we were glad to get back to the hotel.

Evening found us absorbing some of the intellectual entertainm ent on South State Street, which incident- ly, boys, is still pretty lousy. U n­known to us, the entertainm ent of the trip was about to be provided.

We decided to get something to eat and stopped at one of the sm all­e r restaurants. A fter waiting for a few m inutes we w ere approac’ied

reading “to New York.” later “to Cleveland," and so on until his des­tination was reached.

During his trip Knox had eleven rides, two of them for three hun­dred and fifty miles each. His ex ­penses were two dollars and fif­ty cents in all, and he spent one dollar of the amount at the Great Lakes Fair in Cleveland. In all Knox walked not more than five miles.

Pulling out of line is involved in 16 per cent of m otor fatalities.

Panhellenic Quota Increased Three

Girls a SororityRushing broke out all over again

when the Panhellenic quota fig­ures counted noses and found that there were only six social sororities on the campus.

Because of the large num ber of freshmen, the quota lo r each sor­ority has been raised from seven­teen freshm en to twenty. Hence fu rther rushing w ill be the order of the day.

by something that resembled a waitress. My friend was reading an account of the game in a newspa­per, and her method of introduction was the shoving of the m enu in front of his nose. He was tem por­arily taken back, but when he fin­ally recovered and reached for the menu, she pulled it away. I evi­dently failed to see the hum or in the situation, for she turned to me and said, “W hat's the m atter with you, today?" I asked her if I acted differently on other days. She was tem porarily checked.

She, the soup, and the laughs re ­turned. Upon looking at our d rip ­ping coats she inquired, “Is it still raining?” All my friend could say was, “Could I have another glass of w ater?”

“I’ll fix you," she replied and leftWhile my friend and I were try ­

ing to decide w hether she was one of the principals in a disappointing love-affair, o r a moron, she re ­turned w ith a large tum bler of half ice and w ater, and we hastily cast our vote for the latter.

When we could stand it no longer we called for the check, and she very coyly said, “I’m going to give you the sweetest little check you ever had."

We had no idea w hat was coming. She finally re tu rned with a check, creased in the middle and contain­ing a pile of augar. We grabbed our coats, made fo r the nearest m irror, took a good look, and left. Needless to say, we left no tip.

Anything that happened after that was a let-down, and I'm sign­ing off in favor of Carl Hubbel and Charlie Ruffing.

Rockvort Paintings in L ib ra ry A r t E xhib it

At the tip of Cape Ann. a few miles from Gloucester, is an Art Colony in an old and unspoiled fish­ing village. Among the artists who have studied at the Rockport School of Drawing and Painting is Eliza­beth W ithington, whose paintings are on exhibition a t th3 Lawrence College L ibrary from Oct. 1 to the 22. Among the instructors at this school are A ldro T. Hibbard, the personnel director, John M. Back- ly, Abbott R. Theyer, and Charles R. Knapp. A ldro T. H ibbard is well know n today as an artist. His works include: “The Moat Range," N ation­al Academy of Design, “W inter,” Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and “Hills of Jam aica,” M etropolitan Museum, New York. H ibbard was a pupil of DeCamp, Major, and Tar- bell. He was elected Associated Member of the National Academy of Design.

Elizabeth W ithington's pictures on exhibit are painted w ith opauqe w ater colors instead of the usual transparent w ater colors. In gener­al, her pictures are chceriul, and convey rhythm , feeling, and atm os­phere. She paints strongly with broad brush strokes and colorfully; sometimes her colors are almost brilliant. Miss W ithington likes to portray landscapes, settings in and around Quebec, and the atmosph »re of a sea coast. There are also three oil paintings done in much the same style.

The collection includes four types of pictures, along the sea coast, in ­cluding “Folly Cove,” “Plum Cove," “Fisherm en,” “Bathers," “Willows,” “Back Beach,** and “From a Dove;” along the river, including “Gas Station,” “Low Tide," “Gloucester Boats,” “The Lobster Shop,” and “From the Headlands;1* houses along streets, including “Morning Sun­shine,” “M orning Stroll,” “An A rt­

ist's Home,” “The L ittle House at Pigeon Cove,” “Mill Lane” and “Dorway in A utum n," and the Que* bee scenes, including “Old Quebec,” “Maison Montcalm, Quebec,” and “Champlain Street, Quebec.”

The th ree oil pictures portray provincial houses and the lanes on which they a re b u il t

Soap FiguresIn addition to the paintings, there

are the soap sculptures from the National Exhibit. The pieces were selected from the entire collcction of over 4,500 carvings en terec in the Twelfth A nnual Procter and Gam­ble White Soap Sculpture Compe­tition.

Soap carving is more like stone carving than any other field in the sculpture line, except for its soft­ness. The form is derived from cut­ting away, and, unlike clay model­ing, there is little chance to replace it w ithout leaving a w eak place. There is also included in th is collec­tion a progressive set of five piec­es, illustrating steps in soap carv­ing. together w ith tools for carving.

FIRST FROLIC For the small consideration of

10 cents (cash), you smoothie freshmen, with the assistance of Joe Roberts and his scintillating, syncopatcd, sophisticated swing band, can seek sweet revenge on the upper class men who walked away with the walk-around some weeks ago. Joe and his or­chestra have just completeJ a second season at the Sherwood Forest Hotel at Green Lake and are going to appear at the first frolic of the year tonight at 7:00. Need we add that the girls will be Malting?

Ruth McGurk Visits Europe During Summer

The antiquity of some phases of European life impressed Miss Ruth McGurk, assistant professor in phy­sical education, when she visited twelve European countries during the summer. She was accompanied by Miss R uth Leus, supervisor of physical education at the Rockford Public Schools, Rockford, Illinois.

Miss M cGurk said tha t she also observed a general unrest and talk of w ar preparations all over Eu­rope, although it is fairly evident tha t w ar is not wanted by E uro­pean young people any more .han by Americans.

Among the famous personages whom she saw were H itler and Pope Pius. She also witnessed a pa­rade of royalty in London on the king's birthday. The Olympic Games proved very interesting Some of the Olympic players re ­turned on the same boat with Miss McGurk.

A Challenge to the Chapel and Forensic Boards

At the Executive Committee this w eek President A rthur appointed students to im portant posts on the Forensic Board and the Convocation Committee. The Law rentian this year hopes that the in­cum bents of these positions realize fully the possibilities of arousing student in­terest in a g reat variety of fields through the influence of these bodies.

Too often in the past these positions have been filled for purposes of campus political patronage. The new appointees have the opportunity, through the record they w rite this year, of bringing honor and respect to the Forensic and Convoca­tion committees. They are not drops of political lubricating oil to m aintain the fra tern ity-sorority relationship in smooth working order. These positions are im­portant in developing a certain side of the student’* life, nam ely, the encour­agement of discussion, intellectual stim- ' ulation from sources outside the campus, argum ent which helps clarify ideas, and the most im portant of all these is the de­velopment of a critical sense. W hether it be from the formal debating program, inform al discussion groups, exchange speakers w ith other colleges, the Forensic Board and the Chapel Com mittee have vital effects on the campus. We earnest­ly and sincerely hope the students ap­pointed to these positions will realize their responsibility to the students. Let the .students on the Chapel Committee forget they even hold .such a position, and our Chapel program s will fall to pieces and the perennial gripe of w hat to do about convocation will begin. I*et the s tu ­dent members of the com mittee respond and cooperate actively w ith Dr. K epler and Dean Barrows of the Committee and we might have a little different story. Coopv’rating actively implies not only constructive criticism, but also doing act­ual work in securing speakers, and keep­ing constantly on the watchout for a high grade of Chapel program furnished from visitors.

As for the Forensic Board, we would urge them to continue the revival in ac­tivity which they started last year. With the program including exchange speakers from other colleges and discussion con­tests at Brokaw last year, the Forensic Board climbed many notches higher in the respect of the campus. These activi­ties were added to the usual intercolle­giate debate and discussion programs w ith a decrease in appropriation, but the Board did well last year. With this start, the new Forensic Board should do well, but much more can be done.

In the way of mere cursory suggestion, let them expand the discussion program in order that this im portant phase brings itself more actively into the experience of all the students. Let them bring this pro­gram into the women’s dormitories, and even into the fra tern ity houses. Discus­sion periods following stim ulating chapel speeches could be held in Hamar House under the leadership of the Forensic Board with the cooperation of L. W. A. and Geneva Committee. Aid. comfort, and some ideas might be offered in re ­gard to a m uch-needed student forum. This em phasis on discussion, only from which we can test our real knowledge, our ability to th ink and reason clearly, to express ideas coherently and to criti­cize sharply, and perhaps discard old ideas and prejudices, is extrem ely impor­tan t to college experience, yes, even when not in the class room.

Last w eek Dr. W riston urged a pro­

gram of understanding in regard to the greatest questions before w estern civili­zation today, “Shall we keep democ­racy?”, “Shall we go to w ar?", “If so, what is w orth fighting for?” We heartily agree w ith the P resident that this program of understanding should be followed out. This is just one opportu­nity for existing student m achinery to perform a useful function in bringing to students not m erely a retu rn on their student fees of eighteen dollars, bu t an enrichm ent of college experience of moto value than the fee itself.

We look with great hope to the new student m em bership of the Convocation Com mittee and the Forensic Board for a genuine leadership and a positive pro­gram in this field of student life. The way is open. The challenge is there. These groups can, if they will, do much tow ard making themselves integral parts of w orthw hile college experience.

The Price of Bullets or Ballots

Last week one of America's political messiahs, F ather Charles E. Coughlin, openly advocated the use of “bullets in­stead of ballots” if an “upstart d ictator” w ere elected president of the United States, or even if a liberal Farm er-Labor party , which according to Coughlin’s def­inition would be communistic, w ere to come to power.

Considered from one point of view the statem ent sounds so naive and blus­tering that it looks as if the Rev. Coughlin is fast talking himself into political obliv­ion. Along w ith calling the President of the United States a “lia r” and assert­ing that the la tte r is “anti-God,” the priest may have near enough rope now to hang himself. This is conditioned of course upon w hether economic conditions continue to im prove; at the tim e of the “beer hall putsch” fiasco in the early twenties, dem ocratic G erm any thought tha t it had laughed a man by the name of H itler off the political stage.

Consideied from a more pessimistic angle, Rev. Coughlin's statem ent carries an ominous ring. It shows that, given the proper situation and opportunity, there are those ready to make “it happen here.” If economic recovery lags, and we con­tinue to count our unemployed in m il­lion units, and small property values dis­appear, a demagogue, like Coughlin will find not only sym pathetic listeners, but a very active armed following even be­fore the bullet era begins.

The D etroit priest will have few ser­ious hearers, however, if we are intelli­gent enough socially to prevent some of the causes which make the ballot an in­effectual solution to political and econom­

ic problems. The ballot is an effective social agent only as long as those whom the ballot elects perform their duty of making a determ ined effort to eradicate the causes of social distress and to alle­viate, in tem porary ways, the distress itself. If those, in whom the voter puts confidence, exert their influence and pow­er to face social problem s squarely in ­stead of wasting prodigious effort in drum m ing up a “Red” scare to becloud the real issues, social difficulties would not grow into such a state tha t a revolu­tion, be tt Fascist or Communist, is nec­essary.

The cost of social am elioration be­tween such extremes, m easured in dollars and cents is great indeed, but it m ight be well to rem em ber tha t if those en tru s t­ed w ith social and political power throughout history had kept the budget of social value in balance, the world to ­day would be infinitely better off. The present generation would not be carry ­ing on its back the debt load of war, hate, social revolution, and social in jus­tice. There are a great m any who would increase this real debt burden, perhaps unconsciously, because they believe it would cost too much in money units to rem edy the evil or trea t it as we go along.

A short-sighted financial policy may appear to cost less, when considering only a brief period of time, but the real cost, that of wasted social energy, d e ­struction of m aterial goods and life itself, piles up the true debt, the debt which blocks social progress and w’ell-being. M eanwhile F ather Coughlin talks about using bullets. If the seemingly “sound” financial policy is followed, many, many more people begin to listen to a H itler or a Coughlin. Instead of folding ba l­lots, guns are fired and bullets fly. H u­man rights and democracy are forgotten. The lights of civilization go out. Again the budget of social values is steeped in the red.

Anthropoligical m easurem ents U niver­sity of Kansas freshm en com pared w ith those of a selected list of other schools recently revealed that these men were taller, about the same in weight, and less in g irth of chest.

By way of increasing enjoym ent of football through more intim ate know l­edge of its finer points, Coach CharlesE. Dorais of the University of Detroit conducts free football clinics for fans.

Two French university students com­missioned by France’s m inistry of educa­tion are now touring American un iver­sities to exam ine the social life of the American student.

It is a good thing, apparently, that this a final convulsive kick, a ninth life, for while the initial survey was in some quarte r well taken, by literary critics it was adjudged unconsequential. Sad, sad, but perhaps we are too airy about things in a troublesom e world, too inclined to neglect the ultim ate verities for the things of the day, in brief perhaps un­consequential.

And so w ith a thoughtful mein we sink our chin deeply in our left palm and contem plate on the things consequen­tial. To have the citadel of one’s hopes, one’s aspirations rocked on their bases is tru ly a fearful thing. A thing to shudder over, and at this late date to seek the lofty way. Our pragm atic faith m ust yield its notions of utility, fair thought for the finer more objective thought and deeds beyond. It has now flu ttered and flown, we had considered that this grim and dauer place, this institution of discon­tent, th is back page in fact was in need of something frivilous, som ething incon­sequential, something leading away from the pain-frought way of philosophers and editors.

Or perhaps it was the political ap ­proach that was inconsequential. Things political, even to the justice and love- seeking church have often tha t noted pointlessness. Perhaps the state of the nation does not even point up. And we had hoped to be able to think so. It is known to be convincing solace to be able to see in a shade of optimism, in a drop of the inconsequential even, a meaning tha t prem editated care can not perm it, but we have seen the light. We have put away childish things. We are saying farew ell to things inconsequential.

QUOTABLE QUOTES(By Associated Collegiate Press)
