M&R m T h e L a w ren t ia n Vol. 57. No. 22. Z 821 LAWRENCE COLLEGE, APPLETON, WIS. Thursday, March 21, 1940 Jameson Says That Collegians Don't Know How to Read Consultant at Library of Congress Discusses Language as Tool Obtaining facts and making in formation available to the public is the life work of Raymond Jameson, Consultant in comparative litera ture at the Library of Congress. Who addressed the Lawrence stu dent body in last Monday’s convo cation program. The Congressional Library has lent the services of Mr. Jameson to the Association of American col leges to determine, through h i s travels throughout the country and by his intimate contacts with academic America, just what sorts Of research are being conducted in A m crci today and to present to fill students a better account of the library facilities found in our coun try today. According to Mr. Jame son, “a student today can always have a book of some sort, whether he bo in the crowded city or in a shack in the wilderness.” Stating that “the putting of ques tion is the task of the research man'*. Mr. Jameson went on to say that he "believed in the value of research, and even in research that is silly.” As a reason for the spirit Of uneasiness which pervades aca demic America today, he offered the explanation that many questions are untrue because of the tricky Ilanguage used in their presentation. His research thus far has been to determine how to ask real instead of pseudo questions, and conse quently this has led him into the field of literature. Conducts Experiments , To strengthen him in his belief that there is different physical structure in all poetry, the noted librarian conducted experiments with poets in the Neurological Hos pital for Mental Diseases in Lon don, where, he says, “I found that all poets have a peculiar psychosis and nothing can be done for them.” | Continuing, he related how the question of what is communicated was suddenly brought to the pub lic’s attention 18 years ago w h e n Professor Crane of the University of Chicago stated that graduate stu dents of universities still did not know how to read. Professor Rich ards of Cambridge, to determine if this contention was true or false, conducted experiments at certain universities in England, America, and China, the results of which were truly disastrous. “Reading”, asserted Mr. Jameson, "is not an exercise of the vocal Cords. To be useful, it must be a process of getting behind sounds to the things which they represent. Language used only like an auto maton is useless, and we will re main in this stage until we stop worshipping words simply because they sound impressive.” Executive Committee Holds Open Discussion A meeting of the executive com mittee has been called for 7:30 to night at Hamar union. The amend ment to the constitution concerning the election of the student body president and the coming election of the president will be discussed. President Ken Buesing has request ed all students who wish to join in the discussion, as well as members of the executive committee, to be present. Plans for Waring Chapel Program Near Completion New Lawrence Song Will Be Heard at 6 O'clock March 29 Plans for the Fred Waring chapel program March 29 are well under way. it was announced by Chair man Howie O’Donnell of the War ing committee. As it appears now, the program will begin at five o'clock Friday afternoon. Entertain ment will be provided in the form of the Pep band, the interfraternity and intersorority choirs, the Theta bottle-symphony, the Beta Swing- quartet and the A. D. Pi trio. Loud speakers will be placed throughout the chapel to facilitate hearing the Waring presentation of the new Lawrence school song which will be introduced on his program from 6:00 to 6:15.

That’s Our Town; the kind of a play that has life and loves life and gives you every breathing moment of it. When the Lawrence college the atre can make you feel this way about a play as they do, I think it’s time to say they have a triumph on their hands. Oifr first acknowledgement must go to Thornton Wilder; he has writ ten a play that captures that "some thing way down deep that's eternal about every human being.” Yes, it is Mr. Wilder's play, but it is Ted Cloak’s production that gives "Our Town” the spirit of living and the assurance that "tomorrow's going to be another day.” Every bit of in tuition and insight into life that Mr. Cloak possesses has gone into this play; he has at last succeeded in making the theatre secondary and life primary In one of his plays, not by forgetting the theatre, but by subjugating its powers to the greater strength that is life. * He has one of the most impres sive productions the Lawrence col lege theatre has yet produced. Messrs. Sherman, Robbins, Graf, Austin, and Rothe have created a set perfect in its application to the play and lighting that is of supreme importance in the creation of the mood and dramatic strength. His cast is sincere and, for the most part, surprisingly mature and ef ficient. Mr. Barnes’ stage manager is excellent, mercifully without the whimsical overtones that frequent ly made the Frank Craven portray al burdensome. Except for a few moments of badly mumbled dia logue, he is at ease and confident in the truth of his role.

Bobby Riggs, Chicago’s own ten- nis champion and ardent table ten­nis player, came to the Lawrence campus last Friday with his favorite racket and a bit oí the inside dope on the tennis • world. He told his convocation audience how he not his start in sunny Southern Cali­fornia at the a«e of 12.

It was more or less accidental that he started playing for the first time, but one of his older brothers yaw to it that he played correctly when he did start. Out west they Mress and encourage early develop­ment along these lines, and sí) Riggs claims seven years of tournament history in his boyhood. This experi­ence proved to be a great help when he entered first class tennis match­es where his poise, power, and per­fection were tested.

Wimbledon and Paris beckoned. It was with his characteristic smile that Higgs recalled those days at Paris with Elwood Cooke. There were meals at the notable street restaurants; the sights of beautiful Notre Dame, the palace of Ver­sailles. and the tournament where McNeal won the French title

Plays at WimbledonThe m»xt stop was Wimbledon

with its famous center court, and fi.000 serious nprctators, each a critic in his own right. These people may stand in line all night to get tickets to see the tennis match, but Mr. Riggs will testify that they will not .‘acrifice tea when 4 o'clock comes art>und. match or no match

Mr. Riggs gave the audience a description of the battle which he turned into victory. Besides a win­ning tennis title England meant a “presentation to the real live Queen Mary” and a memorable speech in which he recalls having said that England was the greatest place he had ever been, when he knew all the time that he liked Paris better.

Looking to the future. Bobby Ricgs said he plans to compete in the Fox River valley tournam ent at Neenah and retu rn this tr ip to Lawrence when he might explain more about the technique of t h e game.

Sydney Jacobson, president of the University of Wisconsin H ares­foot club, musical comedy organiza­tion. announced recently that “Serve It Hot,” has been selected as the title for the musicale that shows in Appleton Thursday evening, April 18. The show will appear in the new high school auditorium.

Six Wisconsin cities, in addition to Appleton, will view the newly named production when it tours the state during the spring rcccss vacation period at the university. Opening in LaCrosse, April IS, the all-male theatrical troupe will show <bccessively in Wausau. Green Bay, Appleton, Racine and Milwaukee. The production will be culm inated in Madison with two presentations in the new million dollar Union theater April 26 and 27.

Concerning the ecapades of a pro- | fessor of domestic science on le a v e ! of absence from the University of i Wisconsin, while he seeks a famous! but elusive chef and a recipe heI possesses, the plot careens g a ily ' through a Mardi G ras background. To this general theme, the new title, I "Serve It Hot,” particularly applies, Jacobson pointed out,

Ladeees and gennntlem en!! Step right up and see the colossal big show of the year. It’s the Mardi Gras! You can't afford to miss it folks so be at the little gym — to be known as the Hall of Conces­sions. The date is set for April 13 a t 7:30.

It’s your show, sure nuff. You're going to elect a king and queen in Chapel April 9. Surely there’s one boy and one girl you would most like to have crowned that night. Ah! but wait! The boys cast their vote for the queen without in ter­ference from female ballots, and the girls get a full swing at any man they wish to choose. Any one and everyone is eligible for the regal roles. To add to the suspense the names of the king and queen shall be withheld not only from the clamoring public but also from the royal pair until that night. Then in a trium phant march across the hall they shall meet each other. This is fate’s own match. Be there, folks, when the royal couple g e t hitched at ten o'clock, on Mardi Gras night, in good old New Orleans style. Miss Queen and Mr. King shall then reign supreme over the Hall of Concessions, mid the chaos of balloons and confetti.

M ortar Board has been planning all along to make this a riotous a f­fair. All Greek letter groups and other college organizations are in­vited to sponsor booths and side

/ /"Sunday Libe Is a Success

A MUCH-NEEDED move was made a few weeks ago when it was decided

that the library would be kept open Sun­day afternoons for students who have no other quiet place to study. For years where to study on Sunday afternoons has been a problem prevalent in the minds of many of us, and much time was wasted in trying to find a place that would per­mit uninterrupted study. Up until last year Main hall seemed to fill the bill as well as any place. Then even that was locked. Fraternity houses and dormitor­ies never have been conducive to study on that “day of rest,” and sorority rooms are always a doubtful remedy—even then only to a chosen few. A lapse in Sunday studying was the result!

Now the problem has been solved, and the success of the venture is to be re­marked upon. The plan was made an ac­tuality three weeks ago; but it was, and Mill is, an experiment. That it has shown its worth, however, has already been proven, and there is no reason why it should not be made a permanent mea­sure. A real and increasing interest has been shown each Sunday by the students; and it is an interest that should not lag, if only because every student that goes to the Libe on Sunday goes for the ex ­press purpose of studying.

The «administration is to be congratu­lated on this move; and, though it is only on trial, we hope it will be continued each week.

Rule of Good Health Is to Eat Slowly

MOST of us have discarded the old notion that “early to bed and early

to rise” will cause us to wake up any healthier or any wiser, but a lot of us are still concerned enough about maintaining a fair amount of health to recognize one of the first rules of good health—Eat slowly.

Why we should all tear into the dining room and finish off any dinner, good or poor, in ten minutes time is a puzzle to me. The food in the dormitories is con­sidered good, I understand, by most people who pretend to know anything about dor­mitory food, so that must not be the rea­son for the rush. Whether it is because there arc so many people reducing sincc the Mainbocher trend in waistlines, or be­cause there are so many smoke fiends who are unable to take time off before going back to the blue-rooms, or because the one elevator situation at Sage is too complicated for the timid people who can't stand being pushed around, or whether there is a certain prestige to be gained by people who finish exams or dinners first, or because we do eat too fast and shouldn’t, I don’t know.

Certainly, to have your plate snatched away as you are elevating your fork to your mouth is a good enough reason to stop eating; or to argue with waiters and waitresses about whether you have or have not finished first servings and want seconds long before you have had time to try the firsts or can possibly have made up your mind about seconds is a bit futile and about as impossible as arguing about bills in a Chinese restaurant.

Since constructive ideas must replace destructive ones (and the above ideas are that) I might suggest that we remedy tfte situation by installing individual ele­vators in Sage, segregating confirmed gripers, have a reducing table for those prone to staring at normal desert eaters, and allow smoking after meals in the din­ing rooms. There must be something we can do to remedy the food snatching, rat- racing rush we all engage in three times a day.

A CHANCE look at last year’s Law- rentian revealed a startling, hardly

mentionable fact. We discovered that the feature writeup on the L.W.A. dance for last year was almost as compact as the one this year. For truth's sake we must say it was more sparkling and better or­ganized. Just to check our mental com­parison we turned to the feature article of last week. Yes, they were much alike. In fact, the 1940 article had been lifted right out of the 1939 feature. A neat job, too, with a bit of condensation here and there. It was the masterly job of the desk editor and English major, Grace Strong.

Letter of the week:Dear Doghouse:

Without your good advice, I’m sure of a nervous breakdown by Sunday noon.

A bunch of the fellas have been hanging pins lately. Everytime one gets hung, my girl calls me up and tells me all about i t

I can't be sure, never having asked her, but I have a hunch she wants me to hang mine.

Trustingly,‘Neurotic.’

Answer:Don't do it.Pins, to girls, are like notches in a

revolver handle to “Wild Bill” Hickok, a token of victory.

They are like social tickets, only more convenient. When a girl gets a pin, she has a standing pass which entitles her to every social event on campus with an es­cort thrown in.

After hanging a pin, you’ll find your­self relegated to second floor, Hamar un­ion, along with Suzy and Bodilly.

If you ever had visions of being known at Sage as the most lover on campus, the pin w ill queer that. Soon after the hanging, you’ll discover spies from Sage trailing you everytime you walk from Main hall to the Libe with strange stuff.

If you make the plunge, you’ll find yourself meeting her train at 2:00 a. m. after vacations. She had a hard time breaking away from the home-town es­cort early enough to get the afternoon train.

When you could be out on delicious “twister” you’ll find yourself waiting

close to a phone, wondering why in hell she’s spending all night at sorority meet­ing.

A lot of blood has been spilled for the freedom of mankind. Compared to the sacrifices of history, “Neurotic,” your ner­vous breakdown w ill be a drop in the “martyr-bucket.”

So They SayTh e Law ren tian In vites students and

facu lty a lik e to use th is colum n for an expression of the ir v iew s on m atters of common in te re st Co ntributo rs a re subject only to the restrictio n that there sh a ll be no libel and that the length of a rtic le s be w ith in reason» able bounds. A rt ic le s w ill be accepted up to 6 p. m. of the Sunday preceding the Th u rsd ay of publication. C o n tri­butions must be signed as an evidence of good faith , but the authorship w ill not be divulged unless so desired by the w riter. T h e editors are not respon­sib le for any expression of opinion though the So They Say colum ns, and such opinion Is In no w ay related to the ed ito rial policy of the paper.

A FRATERNITY combine in my opin­ion is an unnecessary evil which is

present on the Lawrence college campus. A fraternity combine is present when the fraternity nominates a man for an office and the active members as well as the pledges are told to vote for this individual who is nominated by the fraternity irre- gardless of the fact that this person is or is not the best suited for the office. The reason put forth is that this nominee is a brother, and gaining this office w ill sup­posedly advance the prestige of the frater­nity. Then too, there is the setup where two or three fraternities get together and back one fellow from one fraternity and these other fraternities expect the same at a later date.

Generally, a competent man is elected to be the student president, even with the handicap of the fraternity combines. I believe the fraternity is over-stepping what they call their “bond of brother­hood,” when they begin telling their pledg­es how to vote. It is my belief that this is still an individual’s right, in the United States at least. In my opinion, if a mem­ber was running for an office, and I thought he was not the best qualified, he certainly would not receive my vote. I believe the freshman should question some of the things being told them by their fraternity brothers, as well as their professors. If this attitude is taken, it will probably cause the person questioned to be alert and thinking at all times, con­sequently both sides w ill benefit.

In my opinion I believe we could elect a group which is more competent and w’hlch would serve the college to better

| advantage, if we dissolved these combines.

After all, we are getting our intellectual foundation from the college, and it is my belief that the greater loyalty is to thei college and not the fraternity owing to the fact the fraternities are on the campus because of the college. The college is not flourishing because of the fraternities, al­though I w ill admit the fraternities do help the college in many respects.

If these so-called brotherhoods fos­tered the spirit of cooperation between the different fraternities on the campus, instead of the “dog eat dog” spirit that does predominate today, these groups would furnish more wholesome and useful contacts than is possible under the pres­ent prevailing spirit among the different fraternities. Returning to the ideals of the established fraternities, it makes one wonder if the present policy is not a di­rect reversal of some of the fraternities’ ideals and principles.

The fact remains that if one does re­main loyal to a certain group of fellows, it so happens that it is so by just “chance” pledging, with the exception of a few cases. The average freshman will admit during rushing that the fraternities are all practically on a par with one another. The simple reason that he happens to pledge one fraternity instead of the other gives him no justification to harbor any ill feeling or fail to recognize the good points of the other fraternity that was probably his second choice.

The only way these combines can be abolished is by mutual understanding and cooperation between the fraternities for the betterment of the college.

Quotable Quotes“The institution where women study

must make careful provision for the stim­ulation of interest or permanent rather than passing value. It must excite in young women an interest in books, so that their lives w ill be refreshed by good read« ing; it must encourage them to cultivate a hobby to which they can turn when per« haps their children are grown. It must also give them an intelligent appreciation of art and music, not as ‘female accom­plishments' but as vigorous interests for a lifetime.” Wilsoo College’s President Paul S. Havens lucidly outlines the aims of the woman’s college.

The Delts, again displaying their championship form, turned back the last place Phi Taus 42-27, to rem ain on top of the Greek basket­ball league. The other game saw the title contending Phi Delts easily subm erge the Sig Eps, 42-15.

The D elt-Phi Tau game was a much better game than the score indicates. In the first half, the score was tied tw enty all, w ith Hoffman and Cox keeping the Phi Taus in there, while S uszy 'and Rugged led the Delts offensively. But in the second half, it was a different story w ith Delt offense clicking beauti­fully. Their defense tightened toc\ as they only gave up two points in the entire .second half, due more to some pretty loose playing on the part of the Phi Taus. The leading scorer for the game was Suszyeki of the Delts, who bucketed fourteen points. H irst and Romano scored tw elve and eight, respectively. For the losers, Hoffman had ten, Cox had seven, and Riemer six.

Phi« Win The Phi Delt-Sig Ep game was an

exhibition of the w inners’ offense. It definitely was the Phis* all the way, for they took advantage of loose defense on part of the losers. K imberly was the big gunner of­fensively for the Phis and totaled 15 points, w hile Morton was second w ith 10. For the Sig Eps, though the ir scoring punch was not evi­dent, C lark was high with five points and Lubenow got four.

There w ere also some make-up games from March 2. The Sig Eps beat the Phi Taus, 20-17, with Lubenow and Lockery starring for the w inners while Riemer and Cox looked good for the losers. Also, the Phi Delts w ere victors over the Betas, 37-27, w ith MacRae and Vogt each scoring 10 points.

The leading scorers were: Jones *B) 74; H irst (D) 58; Suszyeki <D) 53; Donahue (PD) 46; MacRae (PD)42. ________

Third South Defeats Second North; Wins

Cage ChampionshipIn a tournam ent that decided the

Brokaw hall cage championship, th ird south's athletes came out on top by defeating second north in the finals, 24-22 on Tuesday eve­ning. March 19 in the campus gym.

Both team s boasted an array of players from the regular freshmen team and reached the final bracket w ithout any trouble. They both won their games by top-heavy scores.

With th e coming of the finals the situation changed. The tw o evenly matched team s had to fight tooth- and-nail for every point. Through­out the game neither team could gain more than a three point lead on the other team. Most of the time, it was even less, but as the game got into its last few m inutes third south picked up a lead tha t they never relinquished. It was only a small point lead, but they kept it to the end. Every time second north scored any points, th ird south would come right back and score also. As the game ended, the two points still separated the two teams.

carried a crack at the freshmen. The statement goes as follows— “On April 8, the first day after spring vacation, a group of men, serious, determined, men will swarm all over the practice ground at Whiting field. The ma­jority of these men will be fresh­men, and some of these fresh­men will come out there think­ing they’re hot stuff. Boy, in high school you couldn't lay a finger cn them. Yeah, — I suppose! We'll have to send out advance notices to our opponents next fall to have a band lead the way before our dapper boys as they prance down the field stopping here and there for a posed candid camera picture. Great stuff, this football.” It seems tha t this statem ent has

aroused some of the frosh so much so that the frosh replied through the editor by the means of the fol­lowing letter.

At the Armour Tech relays, Vince Jones placed second in t h e shot put. Jim Orwig vaulted to a third place, and Ralph C oi\in took third in the half mile in the col­lege division.

Jones lost to the same man who beat him in the North Central re­lays. Jones didn’t have one of his better d;»ys since he was tossing the shot put around forty-four feet, a m ark he has bettered many times. It Is believed that Jones was rather nervous. There was a crowd num ­bering in the thousands watching the meet.

Orwig nearly took second, b u t just barely tipped the bar off to miss twelve feet six inches. Colvin led up to the last thirty yards, but didn't have quite enough to finish ahead.

Although Lawrence was entered in the college division of the relays, the competition was much heavier and the men showed good improve­ment. The results have not been compiled as yet so where Lawrence came out has not been determined.

A meet of this type will help give Coach Denney and the fans a line on what to expect from the team this year.

OOKS LIKE JIM FIEWEGER is a pretty versatile boy—at least when it comes to track and field events. It just doesn’t seem right that one guy should waltz along and take six out of a possible ten

first places—but Jim did. To top it all, Jim broke the record for the 45 yard lows. Leete held that record, and we all rem em ber how Sammy led the Vikes to a midwest title two years ago. You have your work cut out, Jim , but you can do it. Gene Kennedy had five second places—and all of then’, were seconds to Fieweger. T hat’s tough luck Gene, but good going anyway!

• • •Interfraternity basketball closses tomorrow afternoon with a bang

The headliner game will be the Delt-Phi Delt game. The last time these two teams met the score was 34-14. However, since that time, the Phi Delt team has improved greatly. Both teams will be out for victory—and the conclusion will be seen late Friday afternoon. The other game will be between the Sig Eps and Betas. If the Betas win, they will tie the Sig Eps for third, but if not, the Sig Eps will retain their hold on thirrt place. Come on out tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 and see a couple of really hard fought games.Last week the bowling schedule got going in full swing. Kaemmer

looked plenty good, as is seen in his 603 series. Held had the next high series w ith a total of 570. Kaemmer’s 603 series broke the form er record of 596 made by Killoren last year. All-in-all, it looks like there should besome good bowling in the league. The league bowls every Thursday after- roor. a t the Elks' alleys at 4:00. Everyone is urged to come and w atch the boys knock the pins down.

• • •Jones was the only Viking to place in the Armour relays, but when

on«* considers that 300 or more of the country's best athletes partici­pated, maybe we didn’t do so bad. Jones was second in the college shot put. Orwig made 12 feet in the pole vault. Colvin placed fourth in his heat. Jones lost to the same boy who defeated him in the North Central meet a couple of weeks ago.

• • •I was talking to him the other day and he said that Hackney—the win­

ner of the university shot put at the A rm our relays—gave him a few good pointers. Hackney was the boy who had a sprained right w rist and was contem plating throwing the shot left handed. It is quite probable that he could have taken first place w ith his left hand too.

• • •It seems that Ade Dillon got quite a kick out of the fact that the res­

tauran t where the boys ate—which was on the campus of the university of Chicago—took the orders in shorthand. That's all right Ade—we all live and learn.

T HE Lawrence college choir re ­ceived fu rther recognition of its high attainm ents on its re ­

After hearing the concert at the Goodman theater, Noble Cain wrote:

“While the music of your choir is still in my ears I w ant to send you thi's little note to tell you that the young people under Dr. W ater­man's direction did a very fine per­formance this evening.

“This! choir had t l ) good tone, straightforw ard w ithout mewling or caterwauling, (2) good pitch all the time, (3) excellent and almost perfect enunciation, (4) good ap­pearance and spirit of devotion to their work in hand, as well as sev­eral m inor points which go w ith all good choirs. But the first four mentioned are the im portant ones and the Lawrence college choir completely satisfies me in those points. In other words I liked them, as you probably are guessing by this time. Dean W aterman is a won­derful man for those people to have w orking with them. Only one or tw’o college choir leaders in t h i s

Such a tribu te is concrete evi­dence of the accomplishments of the choir and of Mr. W aterman’s unceasing efforts to m aintain the highest of standards.

At tom orrow ’s convocation the choir is making its first local ap­pearance since returning from this tour, which had an im measurable effect in developing the potentiali* ties of the group. The student body will hear music appropriate to Good Friday; the program includes ‘‘I Sat Down under His Shadow” by Bairstow, “All Breathing Life” by Bach, and ‘T enebrae factae sun t” by Palestrina. The above music is taken ’from the concert program presented on the tour. In addition the choir will sing selections from two monumental choral works, “C rucifixus” from Bach's Mass in B minor and “Behold, All Flesh Is as the Grass” from the Brahms Re­quiem. |

S t u d e n t s t o H e l p i n 1 9 4 0 C e n s u s

Uncle Sam is asking college stu­dents to w rite home during March and request something besides the traditional check.

He wants the young men and women who are living tem porarily at school to remind their parents:

“Count me in when the Consus- taker comes to the ‘family mansion' in April."

It has been Uncle Sam’s experi­ence in 150 years of Census-taking that while absence may make the heart grow fonder, it also tends to make the mind forgetful. Census Bureau officials have good reason to believe that the accuracy of the count of students who happen to be away from home at the tim e of the Census can be improved.

College s t u d e n t s , tem porarily away from home to attend school, should be counted as members of the households in which they usual­ly reside. Students who have no perm anent residence other than the places in which they are living while attending school or college, however, should be enumerated there. Such students should call or w rite to the District Supervisor for the Census if they are not enum ­erated.

Feeling that college students, like every other section of the popula­tion. will benefit from a reliable national inventory, the U. S. Bur­eau of the Census is asking them to do their part in making the 1940 Census a success. The Bureau needs the ir help in the gigantic task of assembling facts about 132 million Americans in tw o ways, first, by m aking sure that their parents will report on them to the Census enum ­erator, and second, by supplying the ir parents w ith certain inform a­tion they will need in order to re ­port on them accurately. The latter precaution is advisable even f o r students living at home, since they may be at class when the enum ­erator arrives.

Offhand, it might be thought that paren ts would know everything about the student which would be called for in the Census. The ques­tions which are being asked in 1940. however, arc somewhat more com­plex than tho6e of previous years, reflecting the need for facts bear­ing on the many problems which have arisen in the United States during the eventful decade just closing.

The queries on which parents are most likely to be uncertain are those relating to employment status.

Information is wanted on the fol­lowing points:

Number of weeks the student worked in 1939 (equivalent full­tim e weeks).

Number of hours he worked du r­ing the week of March 24-30, 1940.

Present, or if seeking work, last occupation (exact nature of duties performed).

Present or last industry (kind of factory, store or other place of busi­ness).

Present or last class of worker (wage or salary worker in private work; wage or salary w orker in government work; employer; w ork­ing on own account; unpaid family workers).

W hether at work in private or non-emergency government work during week of March 24-30.

If not, w hether assigned to pub­lic emergency work (such as NYA) during that week.

If neither, w hether seeking work.If not at work or seeking work,

does the student have a job or busi­ness, from which he is tem porarily on vacation, sick leave or lay-off? «Students on Easter vacation be­tween March 24-30 might be in this group.)

The only other question w h i c h parents might have trouble answ er­ing concerns place of residence of the student on April 1, 1935. If the student was away from home at the time, in prep school, college or elsewhere, the parents are still to report his perm anent residence, which norm ally would be the same as their own.

Reporting to the Census Bureau is required by law, but the same statute protects those giving t h e answers against disclosure of indi­vidual re turns or their use for tax ­ation, investigation or regulation.

They will be used solely for stat­istical purposes. For example, it will be possibfe to determ ine from 1940 Census figures the num ter of college graduates in various occu­pations, the num ber of unemployed college graduates, and a great deal of other im portant information nev­er before available. Not only will the Census produce m aterial of this type, directly bearing on the stu­dent’s prospects, but w ill furnish sociological data of considerable value to students doing research.

The Americans began to learn the game with true American en­thusiasm, and amateur names be­gan to get in the papers. Golf was gaining great ground by 1910. New names were springing up and becoming household words. They were amateur names, but the pros were increasing in num­bers.

American boys who had carried clubs to earn pocket money now played in American events. They had learned to play • good game before they stopped caddying at 16. The limit now is 18. American families did not care If their sons caddied; it tended to keep them out of mischief and to learn golf. But they objected to thrir sons making golf a' business. They felt that business was a sterner thing than that.I rem em ber it was generally con- i

Old-time pros know that this was the beginning of the eclipse of the amateur.

But the eclipse was hardly visible until well into the late Nineteen Twenties. Some color­ful pros caught the fancy of the crowds. The public began to look cn with an understanding eye.They were getting tired of the cld names anyway, but still we were drawing the crowds at the championships; the pioneer work had been done, and the pros were now available to make the money.

AS YOU LIKE ITOn Magnificence

_____ BY GORDON SHl'RTLEFF ---------

T HIS is indeed an unusual sea­son in motion pictures. One would never think that the

motion picture industry in the year of 1940 would cause one to over­work the word “m agnificent.” It is a word that can seldom be tru th ­fully applied to motion pictures: that it should be used tw ice in so short a period as tw o weeks is as­tonishing.

Yet one must say of The Story of Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet as of “The Grapes of W rath:” m agnifi­cent. Surprisingly different is their magnificence, however, and a vivid exam ple of the versatility of the modern screen. "The Grapes of W rath” is the natural force and strength of life w ithout illusion; “Dr. Ehrlich” is the strength of the created illusion that is science, the flow that is carefully planned and directed, exact and purposeful. Both treat of the struggle against adver­sity, bu t their philosophical con­clusions are as far apart as ex ­trem es can be. “Dr. Ehrlich” is the story of man trium phant over m an­kind and nature, over stupidity and prejudice, over tradition and cus­tom and ignorance. It concludes in the encouragem ent of optimisim: that m an can progress and im prove and trium ph over defeat: “The Grapes of W rath” finds m an w al­lowing in defeat and misery, w ith no apparent way out of his stupid­ity and despair.

I rem em ber a friend once rem ark­ing tha t he didn't understand how some people could come out of church and continue the discussion of baseball or a new dress which they had started prior to the ir en ­trance. For him the mood of t h e service was too powerful to e.'d; something of its strength and beau­ty rem ained long after the outw ard ritual had ceased. I find it the same w ith a picture as pow erful as “The G rapes” or “Dr. Ehrlich.” and I am continuously surprised at how little most people seem affected by them. The inspirational mood of “Dr. Ehrlich” is still w ith me. and two of its scenes w ill rem ain long after all memories of Chickadees. Castles, and Ghosts a re gone: the scene when the young doctor learns

“A thing of beauty is a joy for­ever,” so quoth Jam es Russell Low­ell; at least we think that's w h a t Miss Stockwell said. Seeing how the hearty males enjoy these things of beauty, we have decided to inves­tigate (pry is such a nasty word.) We founo ample cause for investi­gation upon and in the dressing tables of such beauties as Ruthies Gray and Lundin, Anne Blakeman, C ynthia Meyers, Mary Young, and Christine Pors.

The most striking feature of the typical girl’s dressing room is col­or! Shall we call our typical type Gloria? No answ er required; we’re going to call her Gloria w hether you like it or not. The color, which shall be dealt w ith later, is greatly magnified by its reflection in the numerous m irrors. When our G!oria says she looks like a mess, she ought to know. A fter all, she spent enough tim e looking in her many m irrors to find out. Incidently the dressing table is the main item in the room including Gloria's desk.

For no particular reason we’ll start at Gloria's head and work down. First we see those little things, all about three inches long that look like cheese graters and then e ther ones that look lik? In ­dian snakes in a rut. These ring-

that one must learn to conform in this world or learn to suffer, f o r those who do not conform must suf­fer; the strength of this message is profoundly significant to every a r ­tist, creator, scientist who dares to deviate from the accepted and traditional to strike out to some­thing that is new. The other, the words of the doctor on his death­bed. expressing the assurance that we m ust fight, fight . . . and no m at­te r w hat the oppression or opposi­tion . . . never cease. This is not the fight to kill, but "the fight for life. This is the only fight worth the struggle — the fight for liv­ing. The science of Dr. Ehrlich and the oppression of the Joads perhaps have worked tow ard the same u lti­mate conclusion, in spite of the dif­ference in their attitude tow ards

1 life.

let fixers are im portant particularly if you would like topknot curls.

Color follows next, mixed in w ith eyelash curlers and brow brushes. Many and many a color enter in. Foremost are black and brown, but then we find little pots of blue, green, off rose, coy violet, and of course, that intriguing silver dust for night glamour.

Then are ochre, rachele, naturele, and secret shades of powder which could sing the same as Carl Sand­burg’s “G rass”, “I cover all.”

W h i l e w ere dwelling about Glory's (by this tim e you know her well enough for that) head and face, we now come to the part rhat you know about. Whose m other doesn't wonder how that sm ear got on your formal white tie??? TTiis grease smear comes in the second most in­teresting shades — sporting pink, deep red. daring, ruby, coy. orchid, blue evening and others.

Then comes the stuff that gets chipped off when you typew rite, the stuft you can peel off when you have nothing to do or can’t think w hat to bid, the stuff also considered good eating when seeing Mr. Shurtleff’s “Gone With the Wind.” The finger lacquer adds to our list of colors: jungle, iueltone, lancer, intrigue, nassau, cedar, red dice, spruce, twilight, tokay, sun­rise. and the uninteresting shades like natural, rose, rust, verm illion, and bright red.

Contents of TableWe are slowly penetrating the

contents of the table; we should soon reach the glass bottom. The reason for a glass bottom <s a pre­cautionary movement because some­day the arcssing table isn’t going to have any more room on top and G loria w ants to be prepared. We notice the fundam entals of comb and brushes for teeth, hair, clothes, swede, even shoes. Then in one little corner Gloria has a tube of run stopper; tha t’s for Sunday.

And last a shoe horn, defin .tely not for her saddles — she can get in and out of them without untying the strings. And as we nose through the Lawrence catalogue of 1880 w e see that shoe-buttoners a re consid­ered standard equipm ent for the college girl — oh pang of regret!
