Frank  R.  Thorns '30 
Appointed  Campus 
Business  Manager 

Claims  Continuous  Policy 
and  Management  Will 
Be      Greatest      Benefits 

Thi-  Joint  Executive  Committee  of 
Campus  Business  Management  at  Wil- 
liams College  appointed  Frank  K.  Thorns, 
Jr.  '30  resident  business  manager  at  a 
meeting  on  May  15. 

Manager  'Phonis,  who  has  established 
his  office  in  the  suite  previously  occupied 
by  the  British  War  Kelief  Society  on 
Spring  Street  and  who  fornialK-  assumed 
his  duties  on  June  1,  yesterday  issued  the 
following  statement  to  The  RECORD: 
Thorns  Statement 
"A  glance  at  the  duties  and  functions 
expected  to  be  assumed  by  The  Campus 
Business  Management  will  give  a  small 
idea  of  the  enormous  task  and  problems  to 
be  solved  in  getting  under  way.  Ob-  j 
viously,  a  choice  of  activities  must  be 
made  and  the  Joint  Executive  Committee 
has  been  working  with  the  manager  in 
determining  our  starting  point. 

"It  is  our  hope  and  expectation  that 
real  linancial  savings  can  be  effected 
through  the  Campus  Business  Manage- 
ment for  members  of  all  the  social  organi- 
zations. At  the  same  time,  it  must  be 
recognized  that  we  are  starting  from 
scratch  and  our  progress  will  be  slow, 
painfully  slow. 

'Greatest  Single  Benefit' 
"It  is  our  opinion  that  the  greatest 
single  benefit  to  be  derived  from  insti- 
tuting this  business  management — even 
above  actual  dollar  savings — will  be  the 
establishment  of  a  continuity  of  policy  and 
management  for  the  social  units.  I'nder 
the  present  set-up,  full  responsibility  is 
put  in  the  hands  of  the  house  treasurer 
who  very  often  has  bareh'  time  to  learn 
his  duties  before  he  leaves  the  position  and 
turns  over  the  reins  to  another  who  repeats 
the  process. 

Uniformed  Accounting 
"It  is  my  personal  belief  thai  this 
continuity  can  be  effected  best  by  the 
adoption  of  a  uniform  system  of  account- 
ing, accompanied  by  the  introduction  of 
carefully  drawn  budgets  with  which  actual

mation from  the  Dean's  Office,  seventy- 
seven  members  of  the  sophomore,  junior, 
and  senior  classes  will  not  return  to  college 
this  year. 

The  incoming  sophomore  class  suflfefed 
the  heaviest  loss,  as  twenty-nine  men  left 
either  to  enter  the  nation's  war  effort  or 
because  pi  scholastic  or  other  difficulties. 
The  junior  class  dropped  twenty-eight 
members,  while  the  class  of  1943  lost 
twenty.  Those  who  will  not  return  this

Army  Plans  Enlistment  of  College 
Undergraduates  for  Reserve  Corps 

Students    Will    Be    Permitted     to     Graduate 
If  They   Pass    War    Department    Exam 

In  a  letter  to  Acting  President  Richard 
A.  Newhall  from  the  Adjutant  General  of 
the  United  States  Arnn  ,  the  War  Depart- 
ment revealed  last  month  a  tentative  plan 
for  the  enlistment  of  college  students  in  the 
Reserve  Corps  of  the  Army  at  the  rate  of 
80,000  per  year.  Similar  to  the  Navy's 
V-1  program,  the  new  Army  plan,  which 
includes  enlistment  for  the  Air  Corps,  is 
designed  to  insure  a  future  source  of 
qualified  officer  candidates  from  the  ranks 
of  the  nation's  colleges. 

1  Man  Already  In 

Althuugh  the  plan  has  not  yet  been 
formally  announced  by  the  Army,  Acting 
President  Newhall  made  it  clear  that  those 
in  imminent  danger  of  the  draft  will  be 
considered  for  immediate  enrollment. 
One  student,  C.  Gorham  Phillips  '43,  has 
already  been  sworn  in,  and  three  others, 
David  T.  Andrews,  George  Goodwin,  Jr., 
and  John  R.  Harris  '43  have  received 
preliminary  recommendations.  Assistant 
Professor  Samuel  A.  Matthews  has  been 
appointed  college  liaison  officer  to  handle 
such  emergency  cases,  as  well  as  to  answer 
any  other  questions  which  may  arise. 
Exam  Required 

All  those  who  enlist  in  the  new  pre- 
induction  program  will  be  required  to 
take  a  qualifying  examination,  probably 
of  the  objective  type,  similar  to  that  used 
by  the  Navy.  Students  who  pass  this 
test  will  be  permitted  to  continue  their 
college  course  in  an  inactive  reserve  status, 
but  those  who  fail  to  attain  the  required 
level  will  be  ordered  to  active  duty  in  an 
enlisted  status  at  the  end  of  the  semester 
then  in  session. 

Candidates  who  fulfill  all  other  re- 
quirements will  be  selected  on  the  basis  of 
their  scholastic  records.  Provision  has 
been  made  for  students  specially  qualified 
for  necessary  advanced  study,  research 
work,  or  as  faculty  replacements  to  con- 
tinue their  studies  on  an  inactive  duty 
status  upon  recommendation  by  the  college 
authorities  and  approval  by  the  War 
Department. 

Although  the  specific  details  of  the  plan 
have  not  been  announced,  it  is  based  on  the 
general  principle  that  the  large  majority

Dr.  Locke  Outlines 
Required  Athletics 

Baseball  Season  Insured 
for  Summer ;  Lacrosse, 
'Spring'  Football  Added 

Declaring  college  programs  aiming  to 
teach  students  to  swim  underwater  with 
iron  pipes  under  burning  oil  and  the  like 
to  be  "perfect  nonsense — for  propaganda", 
Dr.  Edwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  health 
and  athletics,  yesterday  announced  a  new 
athletic  program  for  Williams  based  on  the 
ideals  of  physical  litness  of  the  college 
student  rather  than  of  the  fighting  man. 
He  further  pointed  out,  however,  that 
"all  the  qualities  wanled  for  a  soldier  can 
be  found  in  a  well  balanced  and  planned 
sports  schedule." 

3  Weekly  Periods 

The  basis  of  such  a  schedule  for  Williams 
will  be  three  periods  of  compulsory  ath- 
letics per  week  for  each  undergraduate. 
Dr.  Locke  stated  that  this  was  presented 
with  the  hope  that  the  students  would 
take  it  upon  themselves  to  carry  on  some 
sort  of  a  personal  athletic  program  on  the 
other  three  days  and  cooperate  with  the 
idea  of  keeping  fit  for  increased  efficiency 
in  schoolwork  and  for  subsequent  harden- 
ing for  some  branch  of  the  nation's  services. 

For  the  basic  physical  training  course, 
the  incoming  class  has  already  been 
classified  into  four  different  categories  so 
that  men  of  approximately  the  same 
physical  development  would  be  placed 
together  and  advance  most  rapidly.  The 
plans  for  the  upperclassmen  will  be  less 
restricted  with  a  wide  range  of  organized 
sports  to  choose  from. 

Baseball  Stressed 

Foremost  of  these  summer  sports  will 
be  baseball,  carried  on  by  both  varsity  and 
freshman  squads  until  the  end  of  August. 
Although  the  schedule  will  be  necessarily 
limited  by  the  small  number  of  colleges  in 
full  summer  session,  arrangements  have 
been  made  to  supplement  the  regular 
teams  on  the  roster  with  professional  and 
semi-pro  teams  in  the  hope  that  there  may 
be  "a  game  on  Weston  Field  every 
Saturday  during  the  season."  This  Dr. 
Locke  believes,  will  be  a  tremendous  boost 
to  college  morale. 

'46  To  Play  Lacrosse 

Baseball  will  be  accomf)anied  by  both 
freshman  as  well  as  varsity  lacrosse. 
Some  freshman  track  will  be  encouraged 
and  tennis  and  golf  will  be  offered  to  those 
who  would  like  to  participate.  In  con- 
junction with  all  this,  a  sort  of  spring 
practice  will  be  conducted  at  Weston 
Field  for  the  football  squad.  Arrange- 
ments have  been  made,  and  an  auxiliary 
set  of  football  goalposts  have  been  erected 
on  the  far  end  of  the  outfield  so  that 
Charlie  Caldwell  and  his  assistant  coaches,

Phi  Beta  Kappa  Elects 
Eight  Men  From  1943 

The  following  members  of  the  class 
of  1943  were  elected  to  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  at  the  end  of  their  junior  year: 
Robert  N.  Branson,  Edward  F.  Engle, 
Robert  B.  Kittredge,  Walter  P. 
Kosar,  Frederick  M.  Myers,  William 
F.  Nicol,  C.  Gorham  Phillips,  and  C. 
Perrie  Phillips.  These  men  will  be 
formally  inducted  into  the  Williams 
chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  some 
time  in  July. 

Members  of  the  class  of  1942  who 
were  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  at  the 
end  of  their  senior  year  follow:  George 
C.  Bryan,  William  J.  Fuchs,  and 
John  G.  Torrey. 


Waiting  Jobs — If  you  talk  waiting 
jobs  lu  any  house,  you  and  the  fraternity 
have  crossed  the  lines  of  legality.  If  you 
need  a  waiting  job,  everj-  house  knows  it 
and  bears  this  in  mind  when  tendering  a 
bid. 


"Bounce  Session" — In  this  meeting, 
the  fraternity  rushing  chairmen  and 
arbiter  adjust  their  final  choices  and 
preferences  with  yours.  It  is  possible 
for  a  man  to  go  from  his  first  to  his  sixth 
choice;  consequently  a  freshman  should 
list  n(i  house  on  his  final  bid  acceptance 
card  unless  he  would  like  to  be  in  thai 
house. 


"Leg  Man" — If  you  are  approached  by 
a  member  of  \our  own  class  in  the  interests 
of  any  fraternity,  you  will  be  dealing  with  a 
"leg  man,"  a  form  of  illegal  rushing.  This 
individual  is  a  relative  or  best  friend  of  a 
fraternity  upperclassman  and  is  trying  to 
"line  up"  a  delegation.  Of  course  fresh- 
man friends  not  "representing"  a  fraternity 
can  legally  try  to  influence  your  choice, 
and  there  is  no  reason  that  friends  cannot 
decide  to  choose  the  same  fraternity. 


Refreshments— Candy  and  cigarettes 
may  be  served  during  any  rushing  period. 
Light  refreshments  may  be  served  in  the 
final  period  each  night,  but  beer  and  ale 
only  during  the  preferential  date,  from 
9:00  to  10:00  Thursday  evening,  July  2. 


Garfield  Club — Every  freshman  re- 
ceives a  final  bid  to  the  Club,  whose 
membership  includes  men  who  have  been 
offered  no  bids  and  men  who  have  refused 
fraternity  bids. 


"Spring  Streeters" — This  is  the  term 
given  to  a  man  who  refuses  to  accept  final

197  Freshmen  Attend 
Orientation  Program 
in      Jesup      Auditorium 

Baxter  Speaks   Friday 

The  first  freshman  class  to  enter  Wil- 
liams in  World  War  11  deseited  interior 
decorating  and  junior  ad\isers  Wednesday 
to  begin  four  days  of  meetings  ar.d  con- 
ferences designed  to  acquaint  them  with 
the  ways  of  college  life.  Meeting  to- 
gether lor  the  first  time  in  Jesup  Hall 
Wednesday  evening,  197  members  of  the 
class  of  1946  were  greeted  by  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall  and  a  group

with  President  James  P.  Baxter,  111. 

Rushing  Chairman  Alan  G.  James  '43 
explained  the  mechanics  of  the  Williams 
rushing  system  at  a  meeting  yesterday 
morning,  while  the  freshmen  convened 
again  in  the  afternoon  with  representatives 
of  the  various  student  organizations  who 
emphasized  the  value  of  planned  extra- 
curricular activity. 

Baxter  Tea 

Meetings  today  included  c mtinuation 
of  the  freshman  orientation  program  with 
emphasis  on  an  umlerstonding  of  the 
library  system.  Tonight  at  8:00  President 
Baxter  will  address  the  freshmen  i!i  the 
Jesup  Hall  Auditorium  r.nd  r.ftcr  the 
general  college  assembly  at  1:30  p.  m. 
tomorrow,  Dr.  Baxter  will  greit  the  class 
of  1946  at  the  annual  freshman  tea. 

Statistics  released  by  Mr.  Wood  yester- 
day indicate  that  from  fifty  to  sixty 
additional  members  of  1946  are  expected 
to  enter  in  October.  The  entire  incoming 
grou|j  re]irescnts  nineteci  states  in 
addition  to  Columbia,  Great  Britain  and 
the  Territory  of  Hawaii.  New  ^■ork  again

Afternoon  Dates,  Earlier  Hours,  No  Dinners, 
Important  Innovations  in  Rushing  Procedure 


With  the  reappearance  of  free  cigarettes 
and  afterdinner  mints,  which  perennially 
turn  up  with  a  new  crop  of  freshmen,  the 
1942  Rushing  Week,  no  less  war-geared 
and  streamlined  than  the  curriculum  or 
the  athletic  progran,,  officially  opens 
tomorrow  night.  Though  g,en('ral  aims 
and  specific  tecf.'inq  jefe  undijyliit-tlly ,  re- 
main the  sariie.'tho  pnicedufe  and  ilLachfi}- 
ery  of  thi^  , year's  rushing  progi'f^fri  hf\ve 
sustained  lieveral  direct  changt^.'  for 
reasons  of  economy  and  efficiency.  .  ••;■', 
Dinner  Dates  Out         |  '. , ,  * 

The  mcst  outstanding  custom  to  falliby 
the  waysj'Je,  the  victim  of  cconomJ^.1s^'^^v;■ 
dinner  ■  date,  one  of  the  most  fHipulV' 
features  of  forrrier  R-jshins  Weeks;  In  !in 
effort  to  eiiminats  all^iili'fssf^ntUI  cdsta,  the 
Rushing  Coriimjtt^fl  Jias,  cli^1i^aIled  this 
part  of  the  first  two  periods  and  placed  the 
starting  time  for  the  evenings'  activities 
at  7:00. 

The  one  exception  to  this  new  starting 
time  in  the  first  two  periods  is  the  Sunday 
program,  in  itself  a  complete  innovation. 
Three  one-hour  dates,  starting  at  2:00  in 
the  afternoon  will  be  followed  by  a  three 
hours  interim,  and  then  another  three 
hours  of  rushing  from  8:00  to  11:00  in  the 
evening.  Beginning  Monday  and  carry- 
ing right  through  the  remainder  of  the 


first  two  periods,  the  dates  will  start  at 
7:00  and  end  at  10:00. 

Shorter  2nd  Dates 

In  order  to  comply  with  this  earlier 
quitting  time,  the  second  period  dates  will 
be  half  an  hour  shorter  than  in  previous 
years,  thereby  not  only  skipping  the  ex- 
pensive dinner  date  but  allowing  freshmen 
to  return  to  their  books  at  1 0 :00. 

Because  of  the  widely  publicized  short- 
^ages  of  rubber  and  gasoline,  only  Delta  Phi 
,will  call  for  its  guests  in  the  truck.  Phi 
Sigma  Kappa  and  Psi  Upsilon  will  abandon 
.their  custom  of  picking  up  freshmen  in 
front  of  Chapin  Hall  and  1946  will  be  re- 
quired to  walk  to  these  houses. 
Ouotaa  Only  Nine 

These  changes  and  exceptions  are  not 
the  entire  picture  of  Rushing  Week  by  any 
means.  If  anything,  freshmen  will  be 
more  nervous  and  upperclassmen  more 
eager  with  the  shrinking  of  fraternity 
quotas  to  nine.  As  many  first  year  men 
will  confuse  Delta  Psi  and  Delta  Phi  as 
before.  Old  tried  and  proven  rushing 
stories  will  be  rehearsed  and  reused,  the 
same  refreshments  will  be  served  in  much 
the  same  way,  and  dispatched  with  the 
same  fervor. 

By  Friday,  the  arbiter  will  have  ap-

(Patterson  Pinby  takes  over  this  column, 
following  in  the  footsteps  of  De  Gustibus' 
founder,  Fairfax  Weatherjield). 

Freshman,  eh?  We  thought  so  from 
the  start.  We  could  tell  by  the  way  you 
gaped  at  the  tall  buildings,  by  the  way  you 
admired  Hopkins  Hall,  by  the  way  you  fell 
for  George  Rudnick's  "Beautiful  fresh- 
men" line,  and  besides,  you're  new  around 
here.  Well  that's  the  way  it  goes.  Any- 
thing for  a  laugh,  that  Dean's  Office. 

The  nation's  at  war;  Williams  men  are 
leaving  on  the  8:16  pack  train  for  the 
armed  service  almost  daily;  and  what  does 
the  Dean's  Ollice  do?  They  bring  in  a 
freshman  class. 

You  can't  tell  us  they're  not  going  to 
have  a  helluva  good  time  figuring  out  what 
they're  going  to  call  you.  "Class  of  '46" 
won't  do,  and  they  should  know  it,  because 
you  won't  graduate  in  '46,  and  besides, 
they've  got  to  take  those  SO  or  60  vaca- 
tionists who're  entering  later  into  con- 
sideration. We've  already  figured  it  out 
(send  ten  gallons  of  gas  for  ourliooklet. 
The  Pinby  Plan  for  Naming  Classes  That 
Graduate  When  They  Shouldn't),  but  not 
that  Dean's  Office;  they're  going  to  muse 
over  it  for  a  while,  get  all  the  fun  out  of  the 
thing  they  can. 

Hcsides.they  know  you  fellows  will  ha\'e 
a  freshman-sophomore  riot,  and  that's 
always  good  for  some  amusement.  They 
know  you'll  riot,  because  '4.S  rioted  last 
year,  and  '44  a  couple  of  years  ago.  They 
know,  too,  you'll  find  out  that  there  are 
more  sophomores  this  year  than  there  are 
freshmen,  but  they  feel  that  won't  bother 
you,  because  you   still  don't   know    what 


must    fashion. 

Last  year  it  was  difficult  to  concentrate  on  the  job  at  \Viiiiams,  be- 
cause our  course  then  was  not  clear,  and  because  those  of  iis  who  were 
convinced  that  a  shooting  war  was  the  only  means  of  saving  ilemocracy 
found  the  President  and  Congress  slow  to  take  the  offensive. 

This  year  concentration  will  be  even  more  (iifficiilt  to  attiiin.  Upper- 
clas.smen  will  find  their  activities,  .scholastic,  social,  and  extracurricular, 
disru])ted,  jierhaps  ruined  by  losses  to  the  arnieil  forces.  Freshmen  will 
find  orientation  dinibly  c()ni])licated  by  the  ab.sence  of  a  summer  rest  and 
by  the  discovery  that  colleges  treat  freshmen  as  fully  matured  citizens. 
There  will  be  those  who  will  believe  that  they  should  join  uj)  now,  rather 
than  wailing  for  graduation,  (le.s|)ite  authoritative  advice  to  the  cmitrary. 
Uncertain  draft  status,  fraternity  financial  i)r()l)leins,  college  work  under 
.suininer  conditions,  di.sheiirtening  news  from  battle  fronts  are  lint  a  few 
of   the   forces   which    can   reduce  our  efficiency    in    Williamstown    now. 

And  in  the  midst  of  these  problems,  advice  will  be  free-flowing, 
contradictory,  often  stupidly  inaccurate.  Xo  man  will  know  all  the 
answers,  but  every  man  .should  know  this,  .should  feel  this  .so  deeply 
that  no  unexpected  event  can  stampede  him  into  hysteria:  There  can  be 
no  i)roblcm,  here  or  elsewhere,  which  we  cannot  meet  and  .solve  by  calm 
intelligence,  careful  decision,  and  then  swift  action. 

For  exaini)le,  men  .swamjjed  by  scholastic  difficulties  have  the  new 
booklet,  Effective  Study  of  Elementary  Courses,  the  faculty  and  administra- 
tion, fellow  undergraduates,  and  other  sources  of  help.  Men  who  vvi.sh 
to  graduate  but  who  arc  near  induction  under  the  draft  will  have  the;  Massachus.»tts."     This   kind   of  thi 


opportunity  to  try  out  for  Army,  Navy,  and  Marine  Corps  training  pro 
grams.  Fraternities,  hard-hit  financially,  will  have  an  extremely  com- 
petent, far-sighted  head  of  Campus  Business  Management  to  aid  them 
in  the  fight  for  survival.  Compulsory  athletics,  if  properly  administered, 
will  deveh)p  i)hy.sically  .sound  undergraduates.  .\n(l  in  many  other  ways 
Williams  can  prepare  cai)able  leaders  for  the  armed  forces. 

All  these  ojjportunities  will  be  meaningless,  however,  if  we  lose  our 
sanity,  our  breadth  of  vision,  or  our  fight.  We  must  avoid  the  ridiculous 
heights  of  optimi.sm  which  lead  Americans  to  believe  that  buying  a  few 
war  stamjjs,  cheering  |)ara(les,  and  looking  at  imported  heroes  already 
have  Hitler  defeated.  At  all  times,  to  paraphrase  Mr,  Newhall's  recent 
as.sertion,  wc  must  exhibit  the  patience  of  enraged  men,  confident  that 
no  small  disappointment  or  uncxi)ected  .set-back  will  swing  us  hy.sterically 
from  our  goals. 


And  after  it's  all  over,  and  the  damage  is 
all  done,  there  are  the  bills  to  be  sent  out. 
Of  course,  the  Treasurer's  Office  gets  most 
of  the  fun  then,  but  the  Deans  all  troop 
down  to  the  P.  O.  to  watch  the  expressions 
on  the  faces  of  the  freshmen  when  they 
find  they  have  to  foot  the  bill.  It's  pretty 
amusing,  all  in  all. 

And  th.>n,  they  get  a  kick  out  of  seeing 
new  students,  students  who  haven't 
mastered  this  complicated  business  of 
being  a  Williams  man.  They  like  to  see 
some  naive  freshmtm  stand  up  at  the  first 
football  game  of  the  season  yelling,  "Come 
on  Purple!"  when  everyone  knows  the 
typical  Williams  man,  conservative  to  the 
last  page  of  his  income  tax  report,  rarely 
raises  his  voice  aliove  a  "I5ra\'o"  for  any- 
thing but  the  Amherst  and  Weslcyan 
games,  which  two  affairs,  beitig  traditional 
and  all  that,  invariably  merit  loud 
"Ray's,"  interspersed  wiili  .selected  l)ars 
of  "Yard  by  Yard"  and  otluT  rowdy  songs. 

And  tlicy're  still  looking  for  the  chap 
who  answers  his  friends'  "Oh,  you  go  to 
W'illi.ims  and  Mary,"  not  with  a  ready, 
indulgent  sneer  as,  anyone  knows,  he 
should,  but  says,  "No,  it's  Williams

classmen cope  with  study  problems,  a  new 
booklet,  Effective  Study  of  Elementary 
Courses,  will  be  published  immediately 
after  rushing  for  distribution  to  all  fresh-

G.  Perry,  Jr.,  assistant  to  the  dean,  with 
the  help  of  departments  offering  freshman 
courses,  will  present  general  study  sugges- 
tions in  its  first  pages,  and  then  discuss  in 
detail  every  1-2  course. 

Time  schedules,  reading,  note-taking,

entered  directly  from  public  scliools,  while 
177  were  prepared  at  private  institutions. 
To  date  the  percentage  of  high  school 
graduates  entering  Williams  is  higher  than 
that  of  any  class  since  1932,  Mr.  Wood 
stated. 

Lawrenceville  School  took  over  top 
ranking  among  preparatory  schools  by 
placing  twelve  men,  one  more  than  Deer- 
field  Academy,  while  Loomis  and  Phillips 
Exeter  each  contributed  seven,  and  Choate 
and  Taft  prepared  six. 

Forty-seven  freshmen,  including  J. 
Robinson  Garfield,  grandson  of  President 
Emeritus  Harry  A.  Garfield  and  great 
grandson  of  James  A.  Garfield,  former 
president  of  the  United  States,  are  sons  of 
Williams  alumni.

Conduct  Initial  Chapel 

Sunday,    July    12,     to    Be 
First  of  8  P.M.  Vespers 

The  Rev.  A.  Grant  Noble,  Williams 
College  chaplain,  will  open  the  summer 
vesper  services  Sunday  at  5:30  discussing, 
"Drift  or  Mastery  in  a  Changing  World." 
Sunday,  July  S,  there  will  be  no  chapel, 
and  through  the  summer  semester,  services 
will  be  held  at  8:00  Sunday  evenings. 

Cleland  First  Guest 
The  first  guest  speaker  of  the  summer 
semester  will  be  the  Rev.  James  T.  Cle- 
land, professor  of  religion  at  Amherst 
College  who  will  give  the  first  in  a  series 
of  four  sermons  on  Christianity  in  a  world 
at  war.  He  will  deliver  his  address  on 
Sunday,  July  12,  at  8  P.M.  Dr.  Cleland 
spoke  at  the  annual  Spring  Conference 
held  here  March  21-22. 

Due  to  growing  undergraduate  dis- 
satisfaction with  the  compulsory  chapel 
services,  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Student  Government,  the  Undergraduate 
Chapel  Committee,  the  president  and  vice- 
president  of  the  W.  C.  A.,  and  the  college 
chaplain  have  instituted  a  new  program 
which  will  go  into  effect  July  12. 

Each  month  a  special  topic  will  be  the 
subject  of  four  sermons,  each  sermon  to 
approach  the  vital  issue  under  considera- 
tion from  a  different  viewpoint.  Each 
Sunday,  the  visiting  preacher  will  be  the 
guest  of  one  of  the  social  groups  after 
vespers,  and  will  lead  informal  talks  with 
all  interested  men  on  the  ideas  of  his 
sermon  or  on  other  current  issues.

U.  C.  (eels  that  freshmen  and  sophomores 
should  be  discouraged  from  bringing  cars 
to  Williamstown  and  for  that  reason  is 
inaugurating  a  system  whereby  only  upon 
successful  application  to  the  chairman  of 
the  Driving  Committee  will  they  be  per- 
mitted to  do  so.  If  frethmen  and  sopho- 
mores continue  to  drive  at  the  present 
rate,  they  will  be  dealt  with  severely.  It 
is  the  U.  C.'s  desire  to  issue  a  warning  now,

War  Program  Planned 
By  WMS  This  Summer 

Eurich,    Station    Founder, 
Returns    As    Sophomore 

WMS  has  decided  upon  a  program  of 
broadcasts  ibis  sumnuT  which  will  stress 
Williams'  cooperation  in  the  n.itional  war 
effort,  Robert  W.  Hinman  '43,  president 
of  the  network,  announced  yesterday. 
Hinman  also  stated  that  the  Williaius  net- 
work staff,  weakened  by  the  loss  of  William 
C.  .Schrani  ex-'43,  will  be  compensated  by 
the  return  to  college  of  Alan  R.  Kurich  '4,=i. 
the  founder  of  WMS. 

New  Eleelions 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee on  Tluirsday  evening,  two  members 
of  the  net  vv.irk  staff  were  elected  to  fill  the 
positions  vacated  by  Schrani.  William  R 
VVitherell  '43  was  chosen  secretary  o(  the 
Kxeeuiive  Committee  and  Richard  Knapp 
'43  was  nanie<l  chie(  announcer. 

Among  the  war  programs  to  be  pre- 
sented this  summer  will  be  the  WMS 
Service  Letter,  now  being  prepared  by 
Thccdore  G.  Metzger  '44.  Letters  are

gram will  begin  within  a  (ew  weel.s. 
<>(ivernnient  Programs 

WMS  has  also  secured  from  the  f'<l  nil 
government  two  new  transcribed  pro- 
grams, the  Treasury  Star  Parade  and  Let's 
Be  Neighbors.  These  programs,  sent  to 
radio  stations  throughout  the  cotmtry, 
are  transcribed  in  installmenis  so  that 
they  may  be  presented  in  a  scries  of  broad- 
casts. 

Another  new  feature  on  the  WMS  pro- 
gram is  the  Musical  Cavalcade,  being  pre- 
pared bv  William  Walker  '4,S.  This 
prograju  consists  o(  two  hal(-hom'  broad- 
casts a  week,  each  to  (eatnre  the  work  o{ 
one  cjmp,)ser.  The  first  broadeist  each 
week  will  include  popular  nmsic;  the 
second  broadcast  will  (eature  classical 
music.  In  this  way  WM.S  liop'.'s  to 
achieve  .i  more  effectixe  |ires.'nt.ition  of 
classical  music,  while  also  incrciising  the 
number  of  popular  nuisic  programs.

Thompson  '43  Succeeds 
Schram  as  WCA  Head 

New    Program    Will    Give 
Authority   to    Freshmen 

Owing  to  the  induction  into  the  Army 
of  William  C.  Schrani  '4.?,  recently  presi- 
dent of  the  William  Christian  Association, 
Leonard  C.  Thompson  'Ai  has  now  become 
the  head  of  that  organization.  Ihompson 
announced  yesterday  that  a  new  vice- 
president  will  be  chosen,  from  among 
those  now  on  the  cabinet,  to  fill  the  post 
which  he  has  just  left  vacant. 

In  ortler  that  the  freshmen  who  intend 
to  join  the  W.C.A.  ma\'  now  take  a  more 
active  part  in  the  organization,  Thompson 
declared  that  a  freshman  cabinet  will  be 
created.  Although  it  will  be  under  the 
authority  of  the  senior  cabinet,  the  new 
group  will  direct  all  activities  with  which 
the  Class  of  I'Mfi  will  be  directly  concern- 
ed. Up  to  the  present  time,  the  new 
W.C.A.  head  announced,  freshman  mem- 
bers of  the  W.C.A.  have  been  limited 
almost  enlirib  In  Hoys'  Club  work. 
Plan   Farm    Aid 

Also  on  the  W.C.A.  schedule  for  (he 
summer  is  plan  to  aid  local  farnuns  by 
obtaining  x'ohinteers  from  the  college  to 
help  harvest  the  crops.  Many  local 
farmers  have  been  eNtremely  interested  in 
the  W.C.A.'s  suggestion,  and  will  guar- 
anlei'  Iransporlation  to  and  from  farms 
within  a  ten-mile  radius.  Although 
Thompson  dedaii'd  that  the  volunteer 
laljorers  have  not  yet  been  assured  P.'T. 
credit,  he  feels  certain  that  some  such 
arrangement    onild    probably    be    made. 

Work  with  the  Hoys'  Club  this  summer 
will  be  ciineerned  principalh  wilh  ac(|uir- 
iiig  student  counsellors  for  the  Hoys' 
Club  camp  on  Northwest  Hill,  near  the 
1)1(1  CCC  camp,  'The  camp  will  function 
throughout  the  summer,  with  vacations 
of  two-weeks'  duration  being  provided  for 
each  memljer  of  the  Hoys'  Club. 

Also  being  scheduled  by  the  W.C.A. 
tabinet  are  a  series  of  camp  suppers,  at 
which  visiting  speakers  will  lead  informal 
discussion  gnnips  at  various  Outing  Club 
cabins.

Alan  G.  James  '4,S,  president  of  the

the  financial  report  of  the  iy41-42  S.A.C. 
"The  strong  financial  position  of  the

funds  on  the  part  of  the  retiring  Council 
and  its  ollicers,"  James  said,  citing  thr 
S.A.C.'s  current  assets  of  $10,112  as  evi 
deuce  to  back  his  assertion. 

The  l'Ml-42  Council  invested  $.S,(«2 
in  war  bonils  this  year.  The  bonds, 
which  have  a  maturity  viilue  of  $6,800

ceive for  dinner  Friday  ninhl.

OCTET 

(Continued  from  page  3) 

Munro  Steel  '4.'5,  decided  to  record  these 
numbers,  owing  to  their  particular  popu- 
larity on  the  campus.  This,  their  first 
recording,  was  made  on  May  16  during  the 
Commencement  weekend. 

The  Octet,  a  part  of  the  (ilec  Club,  gave 
concerts  last  year  not  only  in  Williams- 
tottn,  but  also  at  Smith,  X'assar,  Wellesley, 
Hennington,  C.reenwieh,  and  New  York. 
In  Williamstown,  they  are  remembered 
especially  for  their  performances  at  the

Special  attention  has  been  given  to  the 
WOC  cabiti  on  Mt.  Williams,  a  s|iur  of 
Ml.  (ireylock,  which  was  built  in  19,U  in 
memory  of  Norman  W.  Harris  '31.  De- 
signed to  acc()ninu)date  eight,  the  cabin  is 
located  in  the  center  of  the  network  of 
trails  which  the  CCC  has  cut  on  the 
Greylock  ke.servation.  The  Notch  Road 
to  the  sutiimit  and  several  other  trails 
provide  access  from  Willianistown,  while 
the  .Appalachian  Club's  Maine-to-Georgia 
route  passes  nearby. 

Repairs  and  new  equipment  have  also 
been  added  to  thi'  Berlin  Cabin,  a  smaller 
hut  to  the  south  of  Willianistown  on  the 
slopes  of  Berlin  Mt.  It  is  near  the 
Taconic  Ridge  Trail,  leading  to  the  Wil- 
liams Caves  and  Snow  Hole,  spots  hallow- 
ed by  the  shades  of  more  than  a  hundred 
years  of  Willi:inis  hikers. 

Membership,  under  the  resolutions 
adopted  last  year,  will  be  open  to  under-

operations  can  be  checked,  anil  periodical 
probabK'    mmithly  -audits    of    formal 
reports  on  operations. 

"Concentration  on  the  study  and  intro- 
duction of  a  uniform  system  by  the 
Campus  Business  Management  will  pro- 
duce no  spectacular  results  in  a  short  time. 
In  our  situation,  where  there  are  almost  as 
many  bookkeeping  systems  as  there  are 
houses,  it  is  hard,  tedious  work  to  convert 
to  one  unifiu'in  s\stem  of  accoimting. 

Comparisons  Simplified 

"By  suggesting  this  action,  we  are  not 
necessarily  condemning  the  systems  now 
being  used,  but  with  all  houses  operating 
uniformly,  audits  can  be  completed  more 
rapidly,  comparisons  between  houses  are 
relatively  simple,  treasurers  and  auditors 
can  help  each  other  because  they  are 
familiar  with  each  other's  forms,  and 
reporting  can  be  accomplished  without 
adjustment  to  a  grimp  of  systems. 

"The    Campus    Business    Management 
idea  has  been  embraced  here  for  one  year 
from  the  date  of  its  inception.     Frankly, 
I  look  for  no  miracles  in  this  first  year,  and 
hope   none  are  expected.     However,  the 
cooperation    of   alumni,    undergraduates, 
and    house    stewards    has    already    been 
evidenced  plainly,  and  is  sincerely'  appre- 
ciated.    It  is  my  strong  feeling  that  we  can 
and  will  make  this  venture  prove  to  be  of 
real,    fundamental    benelit    to   the    social 
organizations  and  to  \\  illianis  College."

of  students  should  remain  in  colh'ge.  The 
Secretary  of  State,  however,  may  call  all 
members  of  the  Enlisted  R.-s^'rve  to  active 
duty  if  the  necessity  of  the  war  demands. 

No  detailed  course  retiuirements  have 
been  laid  down,  but  applicants  are  en- 
couraged to  take  a  \'ear  of  college  math 
and  a  \ear  of  physics,  though  this  is  not 
delinitely  required.  The  Army  will  not 
demand  that  a  student  major  in  a  science, 
and  the  examination  will  lay  no  great 
stress  on  scientific  subjects.  S^-cretary  of 
War  Henry  L.  Stinison  has  emphasized 
the  need  for  resourceful  men  with  a  sound 
general  education  and  particularly  the 
ability  to  express  themselves  clearly  and 
accurately. 

Each  college  will  have  a  (|Uola,  and 
according  to  Professor  Newhall  news 
about  the  Williams  quota  is  expected 
"any  da\'."  Students  who  actualh'  enlist 
must  be  eighteen  years  of  age,  but  younger 
men  will  bi'  included  in  the  assigned  (piotas 
provided  they  agree  in  writing  to  enlist  , 
when  the\'  become  eighteen.  j 

After  graduating  from  Williams,  stu-  i 
dents  in  the  Reserve  who  are  physically  i 
fit  will  be  ordered  to  active  duty  and  sent  | 
to  the  nearest  Replacement  Center.  I'pon  j 
successful  completion  of  the  basic  training  | 
program  they  will  be  assigned  to  the  proper 
Officers'  Candidate  School,  where  lliey  will  i

week  reporteil  to 
Coach  (."harlie 

("aid  well  and 
Captain  Bill 
Schmidt  for  their 
first  workouts  in 
preparation  for  a 
fi\e  game  summer 
schedule,  including  a  pair  of  encounters 
with  Amherst .  Twelve  of  th  is  large  squad 
are  lettermen  from  this  spring,  while  a 
thirteenth.  Hob  Kittredge,  earned  his 
insignia  a  year  ago. 

Although  two  games  will  be  played  with 
Amherst,  there  will  not  be  an  official 
Little  Three  series  because  Wesleyan,  in 
part  time  season  this  summer,  will  have 
no  ball  team.  The  other  three  games 
are  with  Dartmouth  and  Providence.  The 
Kriara  have  already  defeated  the  Kphs  this 
year,  rallying  for  a  4-3  decision  on  April  24. 

Four  Men  Lont 

Only  four  members  of  this  spring's 
Little  Three  championship  team  have 
been  lost,  but  these  vacancies  will  be  hard 
to  fill.  Captain  Ciunnar  Hagstrom  leaves 
an  infield  berth,  while  the  timely  hitting 
and  sterling  outficlding  of  Hob  Swain 
will  be  sorely  missed. 

Greatest  blow  to  the  team  is  the  loss  of 
pitchers  Satch  Lare  and  Ed  Callahan,  top- 
notch  right-handers.  Lare,  who  trans- 
ferred to  Columbia  in  preparation  for 
going  into  the  Army  Air  Cor|is  groimd

and  Wesleyan.

Draft  Bulletin  Widens 
Field   for  Deferment 

'Vital     Occupation'     Class 
Will      Be      Reconsidered 

Deferment  is  seen  for  many  college 
students  in  a  recent  bulletin  issued  by  lh(! 
Selective  Service  Board  declaring  short- 
ages in  "critical  occupatit)ns".  These 
"critical  occupations"  include,  along  with 
chemistry,  physics,  geophysics,  and  other 
scientific  vocations,  some  phases  of 
economics  and  accounting. 

Sent  to  local  boards  and  interested 
agencies  by  draft-director  Hershey,  Occu- 
pational Bulletin  No.  10  is  official  on  the 
subject  of  scientific  and  specialized  per- 
sonnel and  is  to  be  effective  immediately. 
This  action  is  to  counteract  the  serious 
deficiency  in  skilled  men  vital  to  the 
national  war  effort. 

Shortage  Uncovered 

The  shortage  was  brought  to  light  by

Specific  Personnel  in  Washington,  1).  C, 
a  classification  of  men  in  vital  positions 
and  with  ability  to  render  vital  services 
to  the  country. 

Students  are  to  be  allowed  to  register 
and  to  be  considered  for  deferment  only 
at  the  end  of  their  sophomore  year,  and 
then  only  it  they  show  a  good  prospect  of 
completing  their  courses  within  a  reason- 
able time,  and  with  the  requisite  skills 
mastered.

'Williams  Education  Is 
Vital  Contribution  To 
Defense    of    Democracy' , 

I'raisinn  llie  "tremendous  good  sense  of; 
thi'  American   undergraduate,"    Presidi  nt 
Jann-s  P.  liaMcr,  3rd,  took  time  ofT  fnnii  j 
his   governmenl    duties   last    Saturday-   Id 
tell  an  enlhusiaMic  student  body  assembled 
in  Chapiii  Hall  lliat,  "whether  we  know  it  \ 
or  not,  we  are  in  Itondage  to  great  de**ds." 
Promising  thai   "in   August   I   will  be  in 
Williamslown    much    more   than    1    have 
been,"   the   president    emphasized   that   a 
successful   Williams  education   is  a   vital 
contribution  to  the  defense  of  this  demo- 
cracy, which  is  dependeni  on  ils  youth  for 
post-war  leadership. 

Won't  'Let  Down' 

But  he  added  that  he  was  not  worried 
about  any  tendency  to  "let  down," 
because  of  "the  admirable  good  sense 
displayed  by  VVilliains  undergraduates  at 
the  outbreak  of  war,  when  this  campus 
was  as  well  prepared  a^  any  group  in  the 
nation."  Such  iiUelllijcnt  foresight  will 
win  the  war  and  wriu'  the  peace,  he  de- 
clared.

Hiking  Joins  PT  Sports 
For  Duration  of  Term 

College  Sets  Precedent 
by  Backing  WOC  Trips 

Mountain-climbing  and  camping,  under 
the  joint  direction  of  the  Department  of 
Health  and  Athletics  and  the  Williams 
Outing  Club,  were  added  last  week  to  the 
physical  training  program  for  the  lirsi 
time  in  the  history  of  the  college.  During 
the  summer  semester,  hiking  of  various 
sorts  will  be  one  of  the  five  sports  available 
to  the  student  body. 

At  pre.sent,  the  Outing  Club  has  laid 
plans  for  two  hikes  in  the  latter  part  of 
exch  week,  plus  weekend  trips  to  the 
cabins.  An  undergraduate  may  satisfx- 
the  requirements  of  the  new  physical 
training  program  by  two  hikes  per  week 
on  any  days,  along  with  the  necessary 
calisthenics. 

Hikes  will  be  initiated  by  upperclassmen 
in  the  Outing  Club  who  are  familiar  with 
the  trails.  Faculty  participation  is  also 
being  encouraged.  Information  about 
each  day's  hike  will  be  run  in  the  Adviser 
at  noon. 

Strong  student  support  of  the  mountain 
trips  seems  likely,  according  to  William  C. 
Brewer,  Jr.  '43,  president  of  the  WOC. 
Brewer  recalled  the  important  part  out- 
door living  had  played  in  the  education  of 
many  great  Williams  figures,  such  as 
Washington  Gladden,  author  of  "The 
Mountains";  John  Bascom,  for  whom 
Bascom  Lodge  on  the  summit  of  Mt. 
Greylock  was  named;  and  William  Cullen 
Bryant.

Lacrosse  Practice 
Begins  Next  Week 

Forty-Five  Candidates 
Report  for  Equipment; 
Dave   Brown   Is   Captain 

Summer  lacrosse 
ofiicially        began 
this     week     when 
forty-five      candi- 
dates   reported  to 
the  gyiniiasium  for 
equipment.        On 
Monday    Captain 
Dave  Brown  leads 
the    squad    in    its 
first    practice   ses- 
sion on  Cole  Field. 
Since  the  usual  lacrosse  opiionents  will 
not  have  teams  this  summer  and  because 
of  transportation  diflicultics,  no  games  as 
yet  have  been  scheduled,  although  there  is 
possibility  of  a  contest  with  Dartmouth. 
Seventeen  Lettermen 
Reporting   to   Coach    Whoops   Snively 
« ill  be  seventeen  lettermen  from  the  team 
which  hung  up  a  won-lost  record  of  two- 
and-one  this  spring.     In  the  abbreviated 
season  victories  were  recorded  over  M .  1 .  T. 
and  Tufts,  while  the  lone  defeat  came  at 
the  hands  of  a  potent  Dartmouth  combine 
in  an  overtitne  fracas. 

Missing  this  summer  will  be  four 
regulars.  Captain  Herb  Holdeii,  Scjualis 
Gordon,  Med  Hall,  and  Shel  Timberlake. 
Gordon  won  the  Alumni  Lacrosse  award 
at  the  Gargoyle  ceremony  in  May,  while 
the  others  were  also  stellar  performers. 

Returning,  however,  will  be  an  aggrega- 
tion that  should  make  all  potential  per- 
formers shudder.  Nine  senior  lettermen 
include,  besides  Captain  Brown,  Bernic 
Boykin,  Bud  Brown,  Al  James,  Hal

Freshmen  Jump  Gun 
With  Surprise  Riot;

Aimless  taunts  by  scattered  freshmen 
with  time  on  their  hands  finally  succeeiled 
some  time  after  midnight  last  night  in 
provoking  a  full-undress  brawl,  the  earliest 
in  hi.story.  The  three-and-a-half-hour 
wrangle,  once  the  two  classes  forgot  sleep 
and  decided  to  mix  it,  swept  through  three 
sophomore  dorms  and  drenched  Morgan 
Hall  before  [X'tering  out  in  a  naked  free- 
for-all  on  the  lawn  of  the  Congo  Church. 

Disregarding  oft-repeated  warnings  from 
thcidniinistration  that  drastic  ;iunishment 
will  be  dealt  anyone  tampering  with  the 
hoses,  the  battlers  highlighted  the  riot  by

Army  Sets  Quotas

Ihe  enlistment  of  Williams  undergraduates

one  hundred  and  seven  freshmen. 

Two  seniors,  C.  Gorham  Phillips  and

Few  Serious  Faults 
in   Present    System 

Dinner  Dates  Tonight 


For  a  cnmplcie  listing  oj  (rulernity  ami 
Garfield  Club  svlectiotis,  sec  page  4. 


One  hundred  and  ninety-eight  freshmen 
will  be  pledged  to  sixteen  social  units  at  the 
third  and  final  date  of  a  precedent- 
breaking  six-day  rushing  period  tonight. 

The  first  summer  rushing  session  in  the 
history  of  the  college  saw  the  abandonment 
of  traditional  dinner  dates  in  an  effort  to 
cut  down  expenses,  and  the  adoption  of 
earlier  hours,  Sunday  afternoon  periods, 
and  one  hour  second  dates  to  permit 
students  to  carry  their  work  during  the 
week. 

Bids  were  consideralily  fewer  than 
e\er  before  because  of  the  size  of  the  fresh- 
man class  and  fraternity  quotas  were  re- 
duced from  fourteen  to  nine  men,  but 
rushing  fervor  was,  if  anything,  greater 
than  ever  before.  One  luindred  and 
ninily-eight  neophytes  participated  in  the 
Willianis  system  this  year  as  compared 
with  287  a  year  ago,  and  the  first  period 
was  marked  by  only  1806  dates,  five 
hundred  less  than  in  1941.  Freshmen  this 
year  had  933  second  period  dates  as  com- 
pared with  1200  last  year. 

Final  adjustinent  of  fraternity  and 
freshman  choices  was  made  at  the  "bounce 
session"  from  2:00  to  4:00  this  afternoon, 
and  final  invitations  were  posted  imme- 
diately follow  iiig  the  meeting.  This  year's 
session,  held  on  Fridiy  afternoon  rather 
than  on  the  traditional  Tuesday,  was 
strictly  limited  to  two  representatives  from 
each  social  group  for  reasons  of  ellicic  ncy. 

Rushing  arbiter  Frank  R.  Thoms,  Jr. 
'30,  in  a  statement  to  The  RECORD  today, 
said,  "Rushing  this  year  has  be.  n  con- 
siderably lighter  than  last,  but  we  have 
experienced  few  mechanical  Haws  if  any. 
Wednesday  evening's  rain  showed  the 
flexibility  o(  mir  system  when  two  houses 
which  had  prexiously  been  prohibited 
from  using  aiitonmbiles  to  pick  up  fresh- 
men were  allowed  to  do  so." 

Arbiter  Thoms  stated  at  the  same  time

Thoms  Rations  Freshmen  as  Houses  Drop 
Pre -Pledging  Pranks  in  Wartime  Rushing 


by  Paui,  Dktei.s  '44 
In  sharp  contrast  with  the  reckless 
buffoonery  of  other  \ears,  when  i>ractical 
joking  was  the  keynote  of  the  rushing 
season,  Williams'  first  July  pledging  was 
marked  by  a  seriousness  dictated  by  the 
burning  need  of  the  Ikhisls  for  freshmen. 
Fraternities,  some  of  them  crippled  by 
enlistment,  the  draft,  and/or  the  Dean's 
Office,  have  abandoned  downing  tactics 
for  the  duration. 

'Human  Fly'  Tlionis 
Even  Frank  'Human  Fly'  Thoms, 
veteran  arbiter  of  three  years'  experience, 
failed  to  match  his  famous  feat  of  last  fall 
in  scaling  the  exterior  of  Williams  Hall  to 
enter  via  window,  and  open  the  door  for  an 
absent-minded  freshman.  Instead  he  per- 
formed a  tamer  Paul  Re\ere  act,  by 
"scorching"  over  to  Hopkins  on  a  bicycle 
in  quest  of  a  room  key  for  a  similarly- 
stranded  first-year  man. 

Shoulder  twitches,  RAF  pilots,  chess 
captains,  and  upperclassmen  troubled  with 
fleas,  all  phenomena  of  past  years,  put  in 
their  annual  appearance,  but  in  isolated 
instances,  rather  than  in  the  rugged 
abundance  which  has  heretofore  character- 
ized the  one-time  fall  brawl.  And  there 
is  no  record  of  two  adjacent  fraternities 
playing  deaf  on  the  same  freshman  in 
consecutive  periods,  as  happened  last 
September. 

No  Axes  Now'i 
The  iTiember  of  a  Main  Street  fraternity 
who  last  year  ran   from  room  to  room 
brandishing  an  axe  and  shouting  "Some- 
body  yell   for  this?"      was   successfully 


dissuaded  from  gi\'ing  a  repeat  per- 
formance by  his  brothers.  And  the 
clitiue  which  last  year  rushed  a  forced-bid 
by  holding  a  dice  game  among  themselves, 
abandoned  African  golf  for  the  duration. 
But  the  week  was  b>'  no  means  colorless. 
A  forced-bid  arrived  at  one  house  fifteen 
minutes  early  Monday  night,  and  was 
ushered  ceremoniously  out  ten  minutes 
later,  while  another  freshman  put  in  three 
appearances  in  one  night  at  the  same 
house,  finally  coming  at  the  right  time  on 
the  last  date  of  the  evening.

New  Deal  for  Legacies 

We  Iicsitatod  lo  wrilo  llii.s  cdiloriiil;  first,  because  we  dislike  to  di.stort 
i'lirtiicr  I  lie  I'liipliii.si.s  llial  i.s  now  Ixiiig  ])lace(l  iii)on  rralcriiily  mcmber- 
.shi]);  and  .second,  ix-eaiise  we  .said  these  .same  words  last  yt'ar,  ami  llie 
year  l)el'<  )!•('. 

Despite  Diir  failures  in  the  pa.st,  however,  we  are  liopel'iilly  repeating 
our  words  of  last  fall:  "The  Uiidergiiiduate  Council  slioiild  explore  the 
wholes  question  of  legueies,  and  the  position  they  liold  in  the  Williams 
rushing  .system.  It  ciiii  accurately  be  said  that  luilf  of  the  ni.shiiig  .system 
here  works  for  legaeii's,  and  half  iigainsl  them.  Has  anyone  an  intel- 
lif^enl  objection  lo  treating  legacies  as  normal  people,  subject  to  the  .same 
rules  and  cnstoms  as  other  fresliiiuMi? 

"if  not,  the  Coiiiieil  .slioulil  abolish  the  two  rules  of  the  .system  which 
set  legacies  olV  from  other  fresliiiicn :  (I)  Tlie  rule  which  publicizes  a  list 
of  all  lefj:acies,  direct  and  indirect,  thus  redncing  the  iiuinber  of  houses 
ojK'ii  lo  llieiTi;  jind  (2)  the  rule  which  often  jjiils  legacies  in  a  false  position 
of  ])referciiee  at  the  lop  of  the  final  hid  lists,  thus  injuring  the  chances 
of  non-legacies  of  getting  hou.ses  of  their  c-lioice." 

We  tire  convinced  of  Ibe  importance  of  aboli.shing  the  legacy  rules, 
for  these  rules  distribute  lieiiefil  or  injury  to  freshmen  who  may  or  may 
not  merit  llie  treatment  so  received.  Tyegiicies  should  .stand  on  their 
own  records  and  character  during  ru.sliing,  being  neither  aided  nor  hind- 
ered by  the  fact  lliat  their  fathers  or  brolliei-s  joined  fraternities  when 
they  were  in  college.

'Carrying  No  Torch' 

Emphasis  is  In  !«■  laid  on  stories,  car- 
toons, and  columns.  As  for  the  editorial 
policy,  Editor  Morgan  oimmi'nls  thai  die 
Purple  Cmv  "will  not  l)e  carrying;  any 
torches  unless  jiisl  cause  can  he  shown  for

changes (jokes  copied  from  other  collegiate 


Some  people  don't  lil<e  rushing,  lint  we 
love  to  watch  freshmen  sciuinii  iind^r  the 
impact  of  thrice-told  tales;  we  love  to  eat 
mints  so  we  can  have  another  cigarette 
and  smoke  cigarettes  so  we  can  ha\e 
another  mint;  all  this  we  like. 

We  were  leafing  through  some  fossil 
remains  a  week  or  so  ago  when  we  (lis 
covered  a  prehistoric  nmr.il  depicting 
rushing  of  other  days.  As  you  may  well 
imagine,  the  work  (undoubtedly  of  the 
I'ithecantliropus  Erectus  School)  was 
thought-provoking,  and  we  let  our  mind's 
eye  wander. 

"He's  a  legacy  to  Devil's  t'ave,  1  under- 
stand," the  smooth  looking  gent  with 
lietiutifully  thick  eyebrows  and  a  well-cut 
leoiKirdskin  sport-coat  said  in  a  hushed 
tone  to  his  cave  brother. 

"Direct?"  asked  tlie  second. 

"\'es,"  replied  the  first,  "tlis  father. 
Pilt  Down,  is  a  strong  Devil's  Cave  man, 
and,  1  understand,  a  big  tooth  in  the 
national  cavity." 

All  this  time  the  third  rusher,  ,i  tall 
fellow,  and  a  member  of  the  (iymsciUus 
Honorary  Society  to  lioot,  was  keeping  up 
a  fast  line  of  cheap  chatter  with  Pill  Down, 
Jr.  "I  guess,"  said  he,  pulling  the  ace 
from  his  sleeve,  "it's  pretty  tough  ealing 
down  on  Trickle  St.;  you  can't  tell  whether 
sonie  of  their  stuff  is  dinosaur  or  sabie- 
tooth  tiger  meat!" 

"\'es,"  said  the  neophyte,  duly  impress- 
ed by  this  smooth  line,  and  hoping  th.it 
some  day  he  might  be  a  ('.yroseutus  too. 
"Ves,  it's  pretty  tough."  1  le  retiched  for 
the  bone  which  had  been  offered  him,  anil 
started  chewing. 

Back  ill  the  corner,  however,  the  first 
and  second  ca\-e  brothers  were  hatching 
plans  which  bade  no  good  for  Pill  Down, 
Jr.  "Inasmuch  as  he  had  an  outstanding 
record  as  a  wooly  mammoth  hunter  while 
preparing  for  all  this,"  said  the  first,  "1 
hate  to  do  it,  but  I  guess  the  liest  thing  to 
do  with  a  legacy  is  to  axe  him." 

The  seci ml  moved  closer  to  Pilt  and  did. 
The  youth  crumbled  to  the  cave  floor. 

Those,  of  course,  were  days  when  a 
spade  was  a  spade,  and  an  axe  (as  you  may 
have  gathered),  an  ,ixe.  Today  things 
have  changed,  and  undoubtedly  will 
change  more  whether  we  ha\e  anything 
to  say  about  it  or  not. 

We  can,  for  instance,  envision  rushing 
in  the  21sl  century.  Kraternities  hav.-  all 
become  sky-scraping  monsleis;  Ciargoyle 
has  given  way  to  the  Silver  Wing  Society; 
football  has  been  forgolten  for  the  danger- 
ous rocket  ship  racing;  Imt  the  line,  well — 

"1  guess,"  said  Cieniiiii.  a  tall  member  of 
llie  Silver  Wing  Socielv.  pulling  the  ace 
from  his  sleeve,  "it's  pii  ity  tough  eating 
1. 11  Lake  St.;  you  can't  nil  whether  some 
i.f  their  food  capsules  are  vitamin  A  or  15." 

"Yes,"  said  the  neophyte,  duly  im- 
pressed by  this  smooth  line,  and  hoping 
that  some  day  he  might  he  a  Silver  Wing 
loo.     "Ves,  it's  pretty  tough."

with  added  stress  laid  on  originality. 
.Siimething  similar  to  llie  Nejv  Yorker's 
"Slips  That  Pass  in  the  Night"  is  visioned 
as  the  type  of  humor  most  desirable  for 
this  new  magazine.

respectively. 

Other  highlights  of  the  issue  include  a 
profile  of  Grosvenor  Cup  winner  Alan  G. 
James  '4.3,  the  cartooning  of  art  editor  Lon 
C.  Hill  '4,?,  and  his  assistants  James  W.

Letter  to  the  Editors 


To  thr  Editor  of  The  UecouD: 

Williams  College  in  warlinie  is  a  very 
different  place  than  in  normal  times  of 
peace.  The  men  who  are  privileged  to 
continue  their  education  must  be  con- 
.scious  that  they  may  soon  be  called  on  for 
active  service  in  this  world  war.  It  looks 
like  a  long  war  involving  immense  sacri- 
fices and  hi.sses.  College  men  are  bound  to 
submit  themselves  to  a  rigid  discipline  of 
body,  mind,  and  heart,  in  preparation  for 
momentous  responsibililiis.  Personally, 
I  would  like  to  see  a  democratic  military 
regime  in  Williams  that  exempts  nobody 
but  the  unfit,  and  stilTeiis  the  backbone 
and  morale  of  everyone.  Failing  this,  the 
least  we  can  do,  it  seems  to  me,  is  that 
the  students  them.selves  should  impose  a 
high  standard  of  self-discipline. 

There  is  a  natural  tendpncy  in  summer- 
time to  be  relaxed  and  slack,  as  is  evident 
in  shirt-tails  and  dirty  trousers.  With 
this  goes  a  certain  sloppiness  of  manner 
and  carriage.  As  an  alumnus  I  would  like 
to  sec  a  race  of  men  here  who  reveal  out- 
wardly in  dress  and  carriage  an  inward 
discipline  and  seriousness  of  purpose  that 
the  present  tragic  state  of  affairs  demands. 
While  Williams  men  are  fighting  on  land, 
sea,  and  in  the  air  all  over  the  world,  the 
least  Williams  men  still  in  college  can  do 
is  to  carry  themselves  like  soldiers.

BASEBALL 

{('imtiiuu'd  fnim  paKo  1) 
pitching  burden  falls  upon  the  shoulders  of 
senior  Bill  West,  junior  portsider  Al  Swain, 
brother  of  the  graduated  outfield,  and 
sophomore  Phil  Smith.  In  his  only  start 
this  spring  against  Mass.  State,  West 
hurled  creditable  ball  until  he  was  relieved 
after  an  uprising  in  the  ninth.  .Swain, 
who  has  imiiroved  rapidly  since  freshman 
year,  should  see  a  good  deal  of  action. 
.Smith  has  been  bothered  by  lack  of  con- 
trol, but  he  has  a  good  fast  ball. 

The  outfield  will  have  the  vetenins 
Gunnar  Hayes  and  Chuck  Yeiser  in 
addition  to  Ilarter  and  -Schmidt  to  hold 
down  the  three  positions. 

Letternien  Bob  Gardner  and  Franny 
Uolan  form  the  nucleus  of  the  catching 
department.  Dolan  will  be  available  for 
outfield  duty  when  he  is  not  behind  the 
bat. 

The  sophomores  on  the  squad  are  most- 
ly of  an  unk'iottn  ipiality  because  the 
freshman  team  this  spring  played  but  three 
games,  all  of  lliein  victorious.  Besides 
Smith,  pitchers  Ralph  (Juintana  and 
Munro  Steel  .are  taking  their  turns  on  the 
batting  practice  mound.  Inficlders  Bolt 
Bangs,  Joe  \  arley,  and  Brad  Cook, 
catcher  Andy  Knox,  and  outfielders  John 
Glasgow  .md  Carl  Gruber  have  all  had 
experience  with  the  I'M.S  team.

I.ittli'  is  known  about  the  eighteen 
sophomores  on  the  sipiad  inasmuch  as  the 
freshmen  played  but  one  game  with  Deer- 
field this  spring.  In  this  encounter  Al 
Bonynge  and  Red  Marshall  each  tallied 
twice,  while  T'red  Scarl«)roiigli  score<l  the 
fifth  goal  in  the  ,S-2  upset.  Bonynge  and 
Gil  Lefferts  were  co-captains  of  the

Scholars.  The  GarlUdd  Scholarships, 
according  to  the  College  Bulletin,  amou'it 
to  not  more  than  $400  for  each  semesti  r, 
and  "are  for  men  of  high  standing  who 
would  not  be  able  to  meet  their  colUto 
expenses  without  the  scholarships.  'The 
Mark  Hopkins  Scholars  receive  the  corre- 
sponding academic  distinction  but  in 
financial  award." 

F"or  the  second  time  in  Williams  histoiy 
twenty-two  scholarships  were  awarded 
from  the  Julia  Augusta  Tyng  BetpieM, 
These  awards,  ich'ulical  to  the  Garlii  M 
.Scholarships  in  academic  dislinclion  an, I 
financial  remuneration,  were  made  by  the 
Conimillee  of  Nine,  which  under  the  terms 
of  llu'  bequest  annually  select  Tyn^; 
Schohirs  from  all  four  college  classes. 

'The  Scholarship  'Trophy,  "awarded 
annually  by  the  Faculty  Club  of  Williams 
College  to  that  social  group  which  exhibits 
the  highest  scholarship  as  evidenced  b\ 
the  grades  received  by  its  members,"  went 
to  Beta  Theta  Pi  for  the  third  consecutive 
year.  It  now  becomes  their  permanent 
possession. 

President  Baxter's  address  scored  wish- 
ful thinking  and  loafing,  empha.sizing  thai 
it  is  to  "preserve  the  importance  of  tin 
trivial  acts  of  everj-day  life"  that  tin 
democracies  are  fighting.  As  proof  (jf  thir. 
deterniin.ition  he  pointed  to  the  full  time 
schedule  of  the  C(*llege,  calling  il  "a  step 
ahead  in  a  world  going  backwards." 

"Aware  of  the  pressure  of  events  in 
Washington,"  Dr.  Baxter  believes  the 
[leople  have  accepted  their  respimsibililii's, 
and  "are  ready  to  do  more  than  their 
leaders  have  asked."  This  national  unit\ 
of  purpose  is  in  response  to  the  acts  of 
valor  being  performed  daily  by  our  .soldiers 
al  the  front,  who  are  responsible  for 
placing  us  "in  bondage  to  great  deeds." 

The  list  of  scholarships  announced  by

Purple  Nine  Opens 
Summer  Campaign 
Against  Dartmouth 

West  Will  Toe  Mound 
at  Hanover  Saturday; 
Practice     Game     Today 

hy  Davk  Thurston  '44 
Coach  Charlie  Calclw<'ll  and  his  veteran 
baseball  squad  take  the  road  tomorrow  for 
their  opening  engagement  in  a  five  game 
summer  schedule,  playing  Dartmouth  at 
Hanover,  N.  II.  This  afternoon  at 
Windsor,  \'l.  the  nine  faces  the  Cone 
Automatic  Machine  Company's  Semi- 
pro  oullll  in  a  practice  encounter. 

Neither  contest  will  be  a  set-up  for  the 
Ephs,  for  the  Indians  have  lost  but  one 
game  this  summer,  and  that  to  the  Cono- 
matics  by  a  5-4  count  two  weeks  ago. 
West  Toes  Slab 
Although  still  undecided  on  his  batting 
order,  Caldwell  will  start  a  veteran  team 
on  .Saturday.  Bill  West,  senior  right 
hander,  will  get  the  ntxl  for  the  pitching 
assignment,  while  Bob  Gardner  will  be  his 
backstcjp.  Al  .Swain,  Phil  Smith,  and 
(jordie  Johndroi',  all  pitchers,  will  be  on 
hand  for  the  Friday  tilt  and  for  relief 
work  against  Dartmouth  if  it  is  necessary. 
The  loss  of  Stu  Lare  and  Ed  Callahan 
was  a  serious  blow  to  the  mound  corps,  but 
West  pitched  capable  ball  this  spring,  and 
with  a  little  more  experience  should 
develop  into  a  top-notch  hurler. 

Wallace  at  First 

'The  infield  will  .see  John  Bridgewater 
converted  from  lirst  base  to  the  hot  corner 
where  he  will  lill  the  shoes  of  Captain 
Gunnar  Hagstrom.  This  shift  makes 
room  for  Bob  Wallace  at  the  initial  sack. 
Juniors  Bill  Donovan  and  Dick  Emery 
round  out  the  infield  as  the  second  base 
combination.  Al  Reilly  and  Bob  Kitlredge 
will  serve  as  utility  inlielders. 

Hard -Hitting  Trio 

The  hard-hitting  trio  of  Captain  Bill 
Schmidt,  Gunnar  Hayes,  and  Franny 
Dolan  will  see  action  in  the  outfield,  with 
Jack  Harter,  Chuck  Yeiser,  and  Bill  Ford 
available  for  relief  duty. 

The  Purple  will  miss  the  timely  bats  of 
Hagstrom  and  Bob  Swain,  but  there  is 
still  plenty  of  power  packed  into  the 
lineup.  The  hitting  in  the  2,?-2  Army 
slaughter  last  spring,  although  not  con- 
tinued at  such  a  pace  throughout  the  rest 
of  the  schedule,  proved  that  the  Ephs  are 
no  weaklings  at  the  plate. 


Thorns,  James,  Kittredge  Back  ^Record'  Stand 
Recommending  'A  New  Deal  for  Legacies'] 

liy  1..  Marshall  Van  Deusen  '44 
Last  week  The  Record,  pleading  for  a  "new    deal    for    legacies,"    proposed    the 
abolition  of  the  two  rules  of  the  rushing  system    which   set  legacies  off  from  other 
freshmen,   and   queried    edilorialK',    "Has  aiiycme  an  intelligent  olijection  to  treating 
legacies  as  normal  people,  subject  to  the  same   rules  and  customs  as  other  people? 

I'his  week  Rushing  Arbiter  Frank  R. 
Thorns,  Rushing  Chairman  Alan  G. 
James  '43,  and  Undergraduate  C'ouncil 
President  Robert  B.  Kittredge  '4,?  answer- 
ed this  question  with  an  emphatic  "no," 
and  lent  their  support  to  The  Record's 
suggestion  that  "the  Undergraduate  Coun- 
cil— explore  the  whole  question  of  legacies, 
and  the  position  they  hold  in  the  Williams 
rushing  system." 

Objections  Raised 
The  objections  raised  in  last  week's 
editorial  centered  around  two  rules  which 
artificially  segregate  legacies  from  otlier 
freshmen:  "(1)  The  rule  which  publicizes 
a  list  of  all  legacies,  direct  and  indinct, 
thus  reducing  the  number  of  houses  ii|)(ii 
to  them;  and  (2)  the  rule  which  often  puis 
legacies  in  a  false  position  of  preference  it 
the  top  of  the  final  bid  lists,  thus  injuring 
the  chances  of  non-legacies  of  geltinj;  (he 
houses  of  their  choice."  I'o  these,  Arbiter 
Thorns  added  a  third  objection,  suggesting 
the  abolition  of  the'  rule  which  requires  a 


house   not   pledging  a   legacy   during   the 
regular  rushing  period  kj  wait  five  months 
before  offering  him  a  post-season  bid. 
Rule  Passed  in  1939 

This  last  provision  was  ostensibly  de- 
signed at  the  time  of  its  adoption  in  the 
fall  of  19.39,  to  prevent  "a  house  from 
turning  down  a  legacy,  filling  up  the 
delegation,  then  six  weeks  after  rushing 
is  over,  pleading  legac\  rights  to  raise  the 
quota."  Rushing  Arbiter  I'homs,  how- 
ever, feels  that  this  argument  losoi  force 
when  it  is  remembenil  that  the'wholi; 
Williams  system  presupposes  honest  co- 
operation by  all  houses  in  the  spirit  as 
well  as  the  letter  of  the  law. 

Both  Thorns  and  Rushing  Chairman 
fames  were  inclined  In  minimize  the 
injustices  resulting  from  the  published  lists 
(jf  legacies,  and  pointed  out  that  all 
important  cases  are  known  in  advance 
anyway.  But  regarding  the  rule  which 
forces  houses  deciding  In  give  a  legacy  a

BrooksNamedOPA 
Director  of  Labor 

Transferred  from  WPB 
to  Arbitrate  Problems 
of         Price        Rationing 

Robert  R.  R.  Brooks,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  economics  on  leave  of  absence 
from  Williams,  has  been  appointed  director 
of  the  newly-created  Labor  Office  of  th<' 
Office  of  Price  Administration,  to  act  as  a 
general  arbiter  of  the  labor  problems 
raised  by  the  price  ceiling  and  rationing 
activities  of  the  office. 

In  Washington  since  June,  1941,  Mr. 
Brooks  worked  as  consultant  in  labor 
relations  and  priorities  problems  for  the 
labor  division  of  the  WPB.  The  impor- 
tance of  Mr.  Brook's  present  position  is 
emphasized  by  Price  Administrator 
Henderson's  announcement  of  the  pur- 
poses of  the  new  Labor  Office. 

Henderson  Staten\ent 
"Labor  has  a  big  stake  in  the  price

Tennis  Is  Most  Popular  Sport  in  Program 
\      Of  Compulsory  Athletics  for  Every  Class 


According  to  figures  released  yesterday 
by  the  Department  of  Physical  Education, 
tennis  is  by  far  the  most  popular  sport  for 
P.  T.  work  under  the  new  program  of 
compulsory  athletics  for  all  classes. 
Statistics  reveal  that  fifty-six  per  cent  of 
the  three  upper  classes  and  fifty-one  per 
cent  of  the  freshmen  have  chosen  the 
courts  as  the  scene  for  their  "toughening 
up." 

Hour  o{  Calisthenics 

Under  the  new  athletic  plan,  every 
undergraduate  will  be  required  to  partici- 
pate in  some  form  of  organized  athletics 
three  days  a  week.  Those  who  sign  up  for 
golf  or  tennis  must  report  to  the  gymna- 
sium once  each  week  for  an  hour  period  of 
calisthenics.  On  the  other  two  days  lihey 
go  straight  to  the  courts  or  links  for  at 
least  an  hour's  workout. 

Golf  has  the  secfend  largest  enrollment, 
with  a  total  of  137  uppcrclassnien  and 
thirty-eight  freshmen,  thirty-four  per  cent 
of  the  college.  Of  this  number,  forty-five 
are  signed  up  for  beginners'  golf  with  free 
lessons, 

Oraena  Fee  Cheaper 

According  to  Mrs.  Richard  Baxter, 
wife  of  the  golf  coach,  compulsory  athletics 
has  been  a  boon  for  the  Taconic  Golf  Club. 
Although  the  additional  college  member-   juniors  and  seniors. 


ships  will  not  completely  make  up  for  the 
drop  in  tourist  trade,  Mrs.  Baxter  stated 
that  undergraduates  will  be  of  invaluable 
financial  aid  this  summer.  In  order  to 
encourage  student  golfers,  the  weekday 
green  fee  has  been  reduced  from  $2.00  to 
$1.50  for  undergraduates.  The  Saturday 
and  Sunday  rate  of  $2.00  remains  the  same. 

Varsity  lacrosse  has  the  largest  turnout 
of  the  four  teams,  with  forty-six  candi- 
dates. Varsity  baseball  is  only  two  behind 
this  total,  while  the  freshman  diamond 
forces  number  forty.  Freshman  lacrosse 
lags  far  behind  with  nineteen  players. 

Overnight  Hikes 

Students  signed  up  for  tennis  and  golf 
may  also  go  on  hikes  supervised  by  the 
Outing  Club.  J.  Edwin  Bullock,  assis- 
tant professor  of  physical  education,  said 
that  these  trips  will  go  to  such  places  as 
Flora's  Glen,  Bee  Hill,  Tri-State  Corner, 
Snow  Hole,  the  Dome,  Pine  Cobble,  and 
Mount  Greylock.  Overnight  hikes  will 
be  conducted  to  Berlin  and  Harris  Cabins, 
but  only  one  day  of  P.  T.  credit  will  be 
given  for  these  excursions. 

Another  innovation  in  the  program  is 
that  intramural  athletics  will  be  counted 
toward    P.   T.    credit    this    summer   for

Baxter  Plans  Inter-Class 
Fourball  Championship; 
Winners    Get    Numerals 

With  his  varsity  squad  looming  as  the 
only  collegi'  golf  team  in  the  New  England 
area  this  summer,  golf  coach  Dick  Baxter 
has  turned  to  nearby  country  clubs  trying 
to  get  home  and  home  matches.  After 
contacting  other  New  Engl.uul  colleges

Barnes  Leads  Team 

Led  by  Captain  Fred  Barnes,  lettermen 
Bob  McKee  and  Pete  Da\is  and  three 
newcomers  from  last  spring's  freshman 
team,  106  upperclassmen  ha\e  signed  up 
for  golf  under  the  compulsory  P.  T. 
program.  In  place  of  a  freshman  schedule 
and  an  intercollegiate  varsity  program, 
Baxter  has  laid  plans  for  the  usual  intra- 
mural and  college  individual  champion- 
ships and  a  new  Inter-Class  Fourball 
league  for  six-man  teams.  Numerals  will 
be  awarded  to  the  winning  class  team. 

Baxter  hopes  to  get  all  throe  activities 
under  way  next  week  with  qualifying 
rounds  for  the  college  and  fourball 
tourneys.  A  freshman  tournament  will 
be  held  in  connection  with  the  college 
championship. 

Weekend  Tourneys  I'luiuieil 

Under  the  leadership  of  Barnes,  the 
Student  Golf  Association  will  reorganize 
after  being  forced  out  of  existence  by  the 
speed-up  last  spring.  Barnes  plans  to 
run  weekend  tournaments  through  the 
S(;A  and  will  call  a  meeting  of  all  students 
interested  in  the  near  future.

Houtepartiea  Moved 

To  Weekend  of  Aug.  8 

Acting  with  the  approval  of  Mr, 
Albert  V.  Osterhout's  office,  the 
Undergraduate  Council  voted  last 
week  to  set  the  date  of  summer  house- 
parties  one  week  earlier  than  pre- 
viously planned.  This  action  moves 
houseparty  weekend  from  Augu.st 
LS  to  August  8. 

Tlu'  new  date  was  chosen  because 
the  Anrherst  baseball  game  has  been 
stheduled  by  Mr.  Osterhout's  office 
for  August  8  and  because  the  Glee 
Cluli  is  planning  a  trip  to  the  Berk- 
shire festival  at  Tanglewood  on 
August  IS.

in  Plan  Aiding,  Harvest 
and     Paying    Harvesters 

An  ideal  chance  to  help  alleviate  a  labor 
shortage  that  is  well  nigh  an  emergency, 
to  ri'ceive  wages  at  a  fair  scale  of  pay,  .uid 
to  have  ,1  fine  time  doing  it,  is  all  offered 
by  the  Williams  Christian  Association  in 
its  new  F'arm  Work  Plan  expected  to  get 
under  way  next  Monday  afternoon. 

This  voluntary  project  is  being  organ- 
ized by  the  WCA  in  conjunction  with 
athletic  coach  Fielding  .Simmons,  himself 
a  local  farmer,  to  help  meet  the  thirty  per 
cent  shortage  of  f;irm  l.ibor  now  confront- 
ing the  agriculturists  of  the  nation.  The 
organization  will  probably  be  accomplished 
through  the  direction  of  ,\lhert  V.  Oster- 
hout '00,  1-^xecutive  .Secretary  of  the 
Student  .'Mil  Committee,  who  may  also 
conduct  the  actual  administration  of  the

Mrs.  Hutrield  DirerlH 

James  Barrie's  play,  to  be  directed  by

Farm  Labor  Plan 

No  phase  of  our  college  life  im.s  been  a  source  of  more  satisfaction  to 
Williams  undergraduates,  and  of  more  service  to  tlie  cominuiiity,  than 
the  work  which  the  Williams  Christian  A.s.sociatioii  lias  |)erformed  in  the 
Boys'  Club,  the  local  churches,  and  in  Chest  Fund  ailoea Lions. 

It  is  only  logical,  therefore,  to  find  the  W.  ('.  A.  .supporting  the  present 
plan  of  having  undergraduates  work  on  local  farms.  Labor  shortage 
makes  the  need  vital;  community  responsibility  makes  tiie  task  not  only 
a  duty  but  an  oi)portunity;  the  demand  for  farm  products  fostered  by  the 
war  under.scores  the  fact  that  Williams  .should  support  the  farm  labor  plan 
energetically  and  completely. 

In  helping  local  farmers,  uiulergraihiates  will  have  an  immediate 
privilege  of  contributing  to  the  defeat  of  Hitler.  Last  spring  49%  of  the 
college  a.sserted  their  willingness  to  work  on  a  local  farm  one  half-day  per 
week,  wliile  12' ,'  .said  they  would  .serve  two  such  half  days.  We  hope 
they  will  translate  that  willingness  into  aelioii  this  .suniiner;  we  join  Mr. 
Simmons  in  wishing  that  "any  request  for  labor  will  be  promptly  over- 
subscribed." 

A  Loyal  Son 

Once  in  a  while  in  the  daily  experience  of  putting  out  a  new.spaper, 
we  come  face  to  face  with  something  —  a  word  of  appreciation,  a  sugges- 
tion, action  as  the  result  of  an  edit  —  which  makes  tlie  hard  work  worth 
while. 

Yesterday  an  alumnus  mailed  hack  a  Rkcoko  sub.scriplion  card.  On 
the  back  of  it,  where  "Please  sign  me  up  for  (check  one)"  isjirinted,  he 
has  written:  "Eyesight  failing.  Have  to  cut  down  on  reading.  Unwise 
to  accept  offer  about  llKCoiiD.  Would  like  to.  Heart  still  at  the  college. 
I  am  the  only  survivor  of  class  of  1876." 

The  whole  secret  of  the  strength  of  Williams  was  inscribed  on  that 
card.  We  have  written  a  lot  of  editorials  aixnit  what  we  feel  Williams 
must  tlo  if  the  college  is  to  survive  the  war,  but  above  all,  we  realize  that 
Williams  will  survive  only  thrcnigii  the  loyalty  of  her  scms.  The  Rev. 
John  J.  Rankin  '76  has  that  devotion:  only  the  partial  loss  of  his  eyesight 
is  preventing  liim  from  continuing  to  support  an  undergraduate  activity. 
We  thank  him  for  his  loyalty.

Letters  to  the  Editors 


To  the  Editors  of  The  Record: 

Much  has  been  said.inthepases  of  The 
Record  and  elsewhere,  in  regard  to  the 
possibilities  of  Williams  men  helping  the 
iie.arby  farmers  this  summer. 

This  possibility  can  becimie  fact  through 
earnest  cooperation  of  the  undergraduates. 
Farmers  are  being  notified  thai  Williams 
College  olTers  a  source  of  extra  help  in 
this  busy  harvest  season.  They  are  being 
told  to  notify  Mr.  Osterhout  of  the  num- 
ber of  hands  needed  for  any  afternoon 
between  one  and  six.  They  are  also 
lieing  rcc|uested  to  pick  up  the  men  at  a 
designated  point  in  town  and  return  them 
there  after  work.  Finally,  the>'  are  asked 
to  pay  the.se  men  a  minimum  of  thirty 
cents  per  hour,  which  seems  a  fair  price 
for  the  willing  but  inexperienced  help  they 
will  receive. 

I  have  no  idea  how  much  they  will  call 
on  you.  From  the  partial  survey  I  made 
early  last  spring,  labor  conditions  on  near- 
by farms  were  poor  but  not  critical,  and 
furthermore,  the  average  farmer  is  preju- 
diced against  amateur  labor.  Therefore, 
it  is  quite  possible  that  no  advantage  will 
be  taken  of  the  offer  extended. 

If  pleas  for  help  are  made,  they  will 
represent  the  chance  for  Williams  men  to 
contribute  a  great  deal  to  national  and 
community  welfare  as  well  as  a  small 
arnount  to  their  personal  welfare.  I 
sincerely  hope  that  any  request  for  labor 
will  be  promptly  oversubscribed. 
{Signed) 
Fielding  Simmons,  Jr.

Tweedy  '42  Reported 
Missing  After  Recent 
Battle  off  Midway 


According  to  Richard  M.  Whiddon, 
secretary  of  last  year's  graduating  class, 
Albert  W.  Tweedy  e,\-'42  has  been  rc- 
porteil  missing  since  the  Battle  of  Midway, 
which  took  place  on  June  5  and  6. 

This  is  the  first  jiews  of  Tweedy  which 
has  reached  the  Alumni  Office  since  last 
February,  when  Mr.  Edwin  11.  Adriance 
'14,  Alunnii  Secretary,  received  word  that 
he  was  a  Marine  Aviation  Cadet,  stationed 
at  the  Navid  Air  Station  in  Pensacola, 
Fla. 

Tweedy,  who  left  college  at  the  ejid  of 
his  sophomore  year  in  order  to  enlist  in 
Marine  Aviation,  was  a  member  of  Delta 
Psi,  and  came  from  llingham. 

LEGACIES 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
linal  bid  to  put  his  name  at  the  top  of  the 
list,  they  both  united  with  UC  President 
Kittredge    in   denouncing    the   system    as 
undemocratic  and  discriminatory. 
House  Should  'Decide' 

This  rule,  also  passed  in  1939,  was  de- 
signed to  force  houses  to  decide  "yes"  or 
"no"  on  their  legacies,  and  prevent  them 
from  the  "highly  deplorable"  practice  of 
putting  a  legacy  far  down  on  the  list  in  the 
hope  that  he  will  be  frozen  out  b\'  the 
quota  clause.  Present-day  sentiment, 
however,  as  reflected  by  Thoms,  James, 
and  Kittredge,  inclines  to  the  view  that 
this  is  a  problem  for  each  house  to  decide 
for  itself,  without  reference  to  campus- 
wide  legislatiim. 

Kittredge  .said  the  whole  problem  will  lie 
brought  up  before  the  Undergraduate 
Ciiuiicil  for  di.scussion  and  investigation. 
It  will  probably  be  referred  to  a  connnittee 
for  action  in  the  near  future.

Summer  Slate  Looks 
Doubtful  for  Lacrosse 

Purple       Stickmen       May 
Play    Yale   This    Season 

With  virtually  all  of  the  twenty  colleges 
approached  restricting  t  hemselves  to  intra- 
mural lacrosse  for  the  summer  term,  a 
potentially  good  squ;id  of  Williams  la- 
crossemen  faces  a  potentially  poor  sche- 
dule. 

Apparently  for  reasons  of  economy,  few 
colleges  will  accqpt  any  dates  at  all,  and 
Yale  University  which  has  invited  the 
Purple  stickmen  down  for  a  game,  has  also 
declined  any  invitation  to  journey  to 
Williamstown.  At  present.  Coach  Whoops 
Snively  is  in  communication  with  the 
Boston  Lacrosse  Club  in  hopes  of  finding 
some  games  through  that  organization. 

40  Men  Report 

In  spite  of  these  dim  prospects,  a  squad 
of  over  forty  men  has  turned  up  on  Cole 
Field  for  practice.  It  boasts  some  good 
veterans,  goalie-Captain  Dave  Brown,  and 
a  first  string  junior  attack  made  up  of  Don 
Lindsay,  Ed  Sheffield,  and  Bob  Buck.  To 
compensate  for  the  loss  of  an  effective 
midfield  and  experienced  defense,  Snively 
has  'I'om  Leary,  Rick  Shepard,  anil 
Cruimie  Cole  to  tiraw  upon. 

The  new  sophomore  addition  is  headed 
by  Gil  Lefferts,  and  Al  Honynge  last  year's 
freshman  co-captains.  With  them  is 
Fred  Scarborough  and  .•\rt  Vorys,  both  of 
whom  need  e.xperiener  but  according  to 
Coach  Snively,  show  gical  promise. 

As  yet  the  squad  ha>  sjjent  most  of  its 
time  scrimmaging,  to  net  in  running  form 
again.  Within  a  week  or  two,  however, 
the  work  will  begin  on  ^ame  fundamentals 
and  individual  skill.  Alter  that  teams  and 
lines  will  be  formed  and  the  teatn  play 
started. 

FARMERS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
by  the  volunteer  farmhamls,  ftivor  will  be 
shown  scholarship  and  needy  college  men. 
This  by  no  means  indicates  that  there  will 
be  no  place  for  others,  since  the  need  is 
great  and  imm^tdiate.  Some  of  the  less 
needy  members  of  the  WCA  are  planning 
to  turn  such  earnings  tis  they  realize  into 
War  Bonds  and  Stamjjs  and  hope  to 
convince  others  to  do  the  s;nne. 

The  labor  shortage  has  recently  been 
aggravated  by  an  unusually  rapid  matur- 
ing of  the  hay  crop  which  has  arrived 
coincidentally  with  the  time  set  aside  for 
planting  on  many  farms.  I'his  indicates 
that  the  next  crop  of  hay  will  also  arrive  at 
a  crowded  moment,  when  the  vegetable 
and  fruit  harvest  is  due. 

Tractors  and  I'ilclil'i>rk« 

Through  the  work  of  Simmons,  some 
thirty-five  local  farmers  have  already  been 
contacted;  an  ad  in  the  North  Adams 
Transcript  is  expected  to  bring  in  more 
candidates.  These  land  owners  have 
agreed  to  transport  the  substitute  har- 
vesters to  their  farms  and  put  them  to 
work  there  driving  tractors,  teams,  pitch- 
ing hay,  cultivating,  and  aiding  in  the 
planting.  Specific  experience  in  any  one 
of  these  is  not  absoluteh'  necessary 
although  trained  men  are  at  a  premium. 

WCA  President  Leonard  C.  Thompson 
'43,  emphasized  that  this  was  to  be  "no 
cinch";  the  plan  entails  real  work  that  is 
entirely  vital  and  must  be  done  as  well  as 
it  possibly  can  be.  Even  though  no  P.  T. 
credit  will  be  given  for  the  work,  student 
field  hands  must  report  for  an  entire 
afternoon's  work  to  make  the  contribution 
worth  while.  The  relationship  main- 
tained between  the  farmers  and  their 
student  laborers  will  be  strictly  that  of 
employer  to  employee. 

When  the  final  organization  is  com- 
pleted, the  farmers  will  be  able  to  call  the 
central  office  in  the  morning,  tell  the  person 
in  charge  how  many  men  he  will  need  and 
for  what  type  of  work.  The  central 
office  will  then  get  in  touch  of  the  students 
on  call  and  tell  them  to  be  ready  for  an 
afternoon's  work.  It  will  be  the  farmer's 
job  to  call  for  and  return  the  workers  to 
the  college  after  the  day's  job  is  done.

Fliers  Use  New  Field; 
Abbott  Pilot  in  C.A.P. 

Although  its  activities  will  be  drastically 
curtailed  because  of  the  war,  the  Williams 
Flying  Club  plans  to  continue  functioning 
this  summer,  it  was  announced  this  week 
by  Charles  G.  Abbott  '43,  club  president. 

Having  closed  its  own  flying  field  for 
lack  of  funds  to  keep  the  required  armed 
guard  on  the  premises,  the  organization 
has  arranged  to  use  a  private  field  in 
Adams  which  it  is  reconditioning  at  present 
in  C(jo|;eration  with  local  airmen.  "Be- 
cause of  limited  equipment,  lack  of  a 
permanent  instructor,  and  lack  of  a  com- 
mercial license  for  the  field  at  present," 
declared  Abbott,  "we  must  limit  flying 
activities  to  those  who  already  have 
licenses,  or  who  have  soloed." 

Abbott  is  active  at  present  in  the  Civil 
Air  Patrol,  based  at  Troy,  N.  Y.,  which  is  a 
non-military  flyer  squadron  under  the 
direction  of  the  O.C.D.  It  is  engaged  in 
ferrying  government  officials  behind  the 
lines  in  America  where  regular  commercial 
transportation  has  been  sharply  curtailed. 
The  Flying  Club  hopes  eventually  to  bring 
a  C.A.P.  unit  to  the  Adams  field  so  that 
Williams  men  may  engage  in  this  work. 

Two  Yearling  Teams 
Hold  First  Workouts 

Inter-hquad  games  will  hold  the  spot- 
light in  the  first  sports  season  for  the  Class 
of  1946  as  rival  prep  and  high  schools  are 
not  in  session  this  summer.  Formal 
practice  is  being  held  in  only  two  sports, 
baseball  and  lacrosse,  but  tennis  and  golf 
are  open  for  P.  T.  credit   twice  a  week. 

Coach  Fielding  Simmons  reports  over 
fort\'  baseball  candidates  in  the  first  week 
of  workouts.  Simmons  has  divided  the 
squad  into  four  teams  and  is  organizing 
a  baseball  league  on  the  campus.  He 
expects  an  entry  into  the  league  from  the 
varsity  squad  and  possibly  some  other 
stu<leiil  teams. 

Nineteen  yearlings  turned  out  for  the 
first  lacrosse  drills.  All  games  will  be 
within  the  college.  Intra-squad  and  class 
teams  will  be  organized  and  the  freshmen 
will  be  working  in  close  coimection  with 
the  varsity  during  the  summer.  Practices 
will  be  held  only  on  Mondays,  Thursdays 
and  Saturdays  as  Coach  Dick  Colman  is 
busy  with  summer  football  the  other  days 
of  the  week. 


GOLF 


(Continued  from  page  1) 

Barnes,  McKee  and  Davis  will  form  the 
nucleus  of  the  varsity,  along  with  Charlie 
Heuer,  last  year's  freshman  leader.  Also 
up  from  the  yearling  squad  are  Munro 
Steel  and  Hob  Maxfield.  Barnes  recent- 
ly turned  in  a  sparkling  69  card,  firing 
seven  birdies  on  the  eighteen  hole  trip  to 
finish  four  below  regulation  figures. 
Heuer  has  hit  sub-par  nines  but  has  yet 
to  play  the  full  eighteen.

In  a  mass  meeting  of  the  ARP  personnel 
of  the  college,  at  which  thirty-five  new 
members  were  sworn  in,  Winthrop  H. 
Root,  head  of  the  Williams  defense 
mechanism  urged  the  students  to  live 
their  lives  as  iiorm.illy  as  possible.  "Don't 
wait  for  the  blackouts,"  fie  said,  "but 
when  the  warning  whistle  blows,  go  to 
work  as  rapidly  and  elificictly  as  you  can, 
do  your  job  quietly  and  carefulls'." 
IVIearH,  Ferry  Speak 
The  Jesup  Hall  gathering,  the  first 
since  the  recent  ARP  reorganization,  was 
also  addressed  by  Professor  Urainenl 
Mears  and  .\ssociate  Professor  IClwyn  L. 
Perry  on  the  subjects  of  the  Williamstown 
Defense  Drganization,  bombs,  and  the  fire 
problems  of  the  college.  It  was  descril)ed 
by  Root  in  his  opening  welcome  to  the 
new  members  as  "a  refresher  for  the  old 
post-wardens,  instruction  for  the  new."

4  Softball  Games  Open 
Summer  Intramurals 

Competition  for  the  Intramural  Cup 
began  ajiain  yesterday  as  the  summer 
Softball  season  got  into  full  swing  with 
eight  Iraternities  battling  on  the  Ciile  and 
Weston  Field  diamonds. 

This  summer,  instead  of  Ix'ing  divided 
into  leagues,  the  softball  nines  will  all  play 
each  other  once  in  one  sixteen-team  league. 

The  Chi  Psis,  defending  champions  of 
the  Cup  and  of  the  softball  crown,  rapped 
out  a  10-1  victory  over  the  Sigs.  Giving 
up  an  unearned  run  in  the  first  inning,  the 
Chipsies  rallied  in  their  half  of  the  canto 
and  forged  into  a  lead  they  never  relin- 
quished. Dick  Lambert,  undefeated  under- 
armer  for  the  Hoxsej-  Streeters,  held  the 
Sigs  in  check  with  his  "nothing  ball." 

The  Zetes  won  their  first  game  in  two 
years  yesterday  by  whaling  tlu>  Alpha 
Delts  by  a  9-1  count.  Staging  a  six-run 
uprising  in  the  first  inning,  the  Zetes 
coasted  to  victory.  Hurler  Dick  King 
held  the  A.D.'s  scoreless  until  the  final 
inning,  when  a  trio  of  misplays  alhiwed  a 
single  run  to  cross  the  plati'. 

I'he  Betes  had  little  mercy  on  the  Theta 
Delts  in  lashing  out  a  lS-3  triumph. 
Munro  Steel  experienced  no  trouble 
sending  the  T.D.'s  away  from  the  plate, 
while  his  males  blasted  their  way  to  vic- 
tory. 

In  the  only  close  game  of  the  day,  the 
Psi  U.'s  eked  out  a  2-0  shutout  of  the 
Dekes.  Aided  by  tight  fielding,  Gordon 
Getsinger  pitched  his  club  to  victory.

Travel  Bureau  Closes 
For  Duration  of  War 

The  V\'illianis  Travel  Bureau  will 
suspend  iiperations  for  the  duration  of 
the  war  in  the  very  near  future.  Accord- 
ing to  Charles  <"r.  Abbott  '43,  president  of 
the  organization,  passenger  transportation 
has  lieeii  so  drastically  curtailed  on  orders 
from  the  government  that  few  ri'serva- 
tions  for  travel  are  now  availalile.  Under 
these  conditions  a  profit-making  agency 
could  not  continue  to  function   proiJerly. 

'I'he  situation  for  the  Williams  bureau 
was  liighlightetl,  Abbott  deelart'd,  when 
the  .New  York  to  Albany  run  of  the 
American  Airline  Service  shut  down  in 
acconkmce  with  the  plan  to  cut  air 
transportation  in  half.  This  run  and 
boat  travel,  which  has  naturally  been 
suspeiiiled,  had  fjeen  the  principal  sources 
of  income  to  the  agency.  All  assets  and 
account  books  will  be  kept  intact  so  that 
the  Bureau  will  be  able  to  resume  activity 
after  the  war  exactly  where  it  left  oiT. 

"We  have  decided,"  AbVK)tt  stated, 
"that  it  would  be  highly  inadvisable  to 
try  to  run  a  profit-making  Travel  Agency 
at  this  time  with  so  few  facilities  open  to 
us.  Railroads  pay  no  connnission  and  it 
is  practically  impossible  to  obtain  reserva- 
tions for  other  means  of  transportation 
unless  it  is  on  really  important  business." 

Perry  Booklet  Makes 
For  EflFective   Study 

Increasing  its  help  lo  both  freshmen  and 
upperclassmen,  the  Dean's  Office  this  week 
made  available  to  nuinbers  of  all  four 
classes  the  booklet  entitled  Effective 
Study  of  Elementary  Courses,  edited  by 
William  G.  Perry,  Jr.,  assistant  to  the 
1  )ean.  The  40-page  booklet  was  distribut- 
ed to  the  Class  of  1946  at  a  meeting  in 
Jesup  Hall  Tuesday  evening,  and  can  be 
secured  by  members  ol  the  upper  classes 
at  the  Dean's  Office. 

At  the  same  time  Mr.  Perry  announced 
that  the  reading  course  given  last  year, 
would,  with  minor  modifications  designed 
to  improve  the  cour.se,  be  given  again  this 
year,  and  that  individual  instruction  to 
students  in  study  skills,  and  increased 
efficiency  would  be  continued.  A  survey 
last  spring  showed  that  72%  of  the  stu- 
dents who  sought  Mr.  Perry's  help  im- 
proved their  marks,  and  that  in  the  re- 
maining instances,  a  downward  trend 
was  checked.  This  individual  instruc- 
tion is  most  definitely  not  reserved  for 
freshmen  only,  nor  is  the  reading  course, 
which  last  year  increased  speed  and 
comprehension  in  every  case.

I'rceaiilion  System  Explained 

Dr.  Mears,  in  the  first  part  of  his  speech, 
outlined  the  intricate  system  set-up  in  this 
area,  patterned  after  the  London  mechan- 
ism for  air-raid  control,  and  described  the 
extensive  precautions  that  have  lieen 
taken  in  the  town  for  an  emergency,  lie 
particularly  stressed  the  pre|)arations 
made  to  take  care  of  evacuees  and  injured 
from  the  coastal  regions,  even  to  the 
providing  for  reserve  food,  supplies  and 
fuel  for  any  eventuality. 

Bomb   Types    Descrilietl 

Declaring  that  "there  is  military  im- 
portance here,"  Dr.  Mears  described  the 
most  popular  types  of  bomlis  which  he 
stated  are  increasing  to  a  size  "beyond 
ordinary  conception",  and  gave  some  hints 
on  how  best  to  cope  with  them. 

Dr.  Perry,  in  discussing  the  fire  i)roblem 
of  the  college,  urged  every  member  present 
to  "think  through  what  you  may  have  to 
face,"  to  inspect  your  posts  and  find  all  the 
equipment,  and  in  what  shape  it  is.  He 
described  the  present  techniques  of  hand- 
ling incendiary  bombs,  but  added  that 
types  arc  changing  so  rapidly  today  that 
post-wardens  will,  in  all  probal)ility,  "have 
to  invent  methods  of  their  own  if  the  time 
coines."  He  stressed  the  danger  of  trying 
to  assume  all  the  burden;  "if  the  fire  looks 
at  all  serious,  get  the  help  of  a  trained 
fireman."

THE  RECORD 


Williams  Places  Third 
In  Five-Crew  Regatta 

A  Williams  crew  skippered  by  Romeyn 
Kverdell  '42  placed  third  in  the  closely, 
fought  intercollegiate  yacht  races  June 
22-24  at  Oyster  Hay,  I..  1.  Everdell's 
crew,  competing  in  the  fifteenth  annual 
MacMillan  Cup  series,  included  John 
l'"uller  '43  and  Mutler  Whiting  '44. 

Williams  garnered  17  [joints  in  the  five 
races;  Dartmouth,  led  by  Emil  Mosbacher, 
defended  its  intercollegiate  championship 
with  mj  points  to  n\  for  Harvard. 
Navy  picked  up  15^  points  with  Princeton 
an  also-ran. 

I'lirpic  Gets  2  Seconds 

The  five  crews  took  turns  sailing  each  of 
five  yachts  in  the  various  races.  Williams 
placed  third  in  the  first  race  with  Harvard 
the  wiiuier.  On  the  second  day  of  sailing, 
the  Purple  crew  placed  fourth  and  then 
second  in  the  two  races,  as  Navy  won  both. 
Everdell  had  the  misfortune  to  be  recalled 
at  the  start  of  the  first  contest,  as  he 
jumped  the  starting  gun  by  half  a  second. 

On  the  final  day  of  racing.  Harvard  took 
the  lead  in  the  series  by  winning  the  first 
race,  but  Mosbacher  wjn  the  final  race  for 
Dartmouth  while  keeping  two  boats 
between  himself  and  the  Harvard  crew.

Bill  Donovan  Slated 
To  Hurl  2nd  Game 
Against  Dartmouth 

Indians  Trip  Purple,  2-1 
in  Ten  Inning  Contest 
at      Hanover     Saturday 

Bill  Donovan  will  take  the  mound  to- 
morrow at  2:30  p.m.  on  Weston  Field 
when  Coach  Charlie  Caldwell's  nine 
i.ttempts  to  even  matters  with  the  potent 
Dartmouth  combine  that  handed  it  a 
ten-inning  2-1  setback  last  Saturday  at 
Hanover,  N.  H.,  in  the  opening  start  of 
the  summer  campaign. 

This  will  be  the  first  pitcliing  assign- 
ment for  the  erstwhile  shortstop,  but 
Williams  diamond  fans  have  long  Tieen 
aware  of  the  pitching  potentialities  of  his 
powerful  right  arm.  Bob  Kiltredge  will 
probably  take  over  Donovan's  midfield 
duties. 

Issues  Free  'I'ickeli* 

Bill  West  held  the  Indians  to  but  fi\e 
hits  in  nine  and  a  third  frames  .Saturday, 
but  his  wildness  accounted  for  both  of 
their  runs.  Jim  Doole,  Dartmouth  hurler, 
also  allowed  five  hits  in  chalking  up  his 
.third  triumph  of  the  summer  season,  but 
he  was  not  so  generous  with  free  tickets, 
issuing  hut  two,  compared  to  West's 
seven . 

The  Indians  took  the  lead  in  the  last  of 
the  sixth  when  Bill  Cary  and  Dixie 
Daniels  led  off  w  ith  hits  to  right.  Captain 
Johnny  Koslowski  beat  out  a  sacrifice 
bunt  and  the  bases  were  filled.  West 
nearly  got  out  of  this  hole  as  Donovan 
made  a  pair  of  force  plays  at  home,  but  a 
walk  to  Al  Barrett  allowed  Koslowski  to 
tally  the  first  run. 

Sehiiiiill  E>cu(lliick8  Cluiiiil 

The  Purple  came  back  in  the  top  of  the 
seventh  to  deadlock  the  game.  Captain 
Bill  Schmidt  and  Bob  Wallace  each  drove 
singles  to  left.  Fran  Dolan  forced  Wallace 
at  second,  Schmidt  taking  third  on  the 
play.  When  Dolan  started  to  steal 
second,  Koslowski's  peg  went  into  center 
field    and    Schmidt    crossed    the   plate. 

West  walked  the  first  batter  to  face  him 
in  both  the  seventh  and  eighth  innings  but 
a  pair  of  sparkling  double  plays  saveil  him 
from  grief.  In  the  eighth,  right  fielder 
Gunner  Hayes  proved  that  the  twin  killing 
that  he  started  in  the  fifth  canto  was  no

WCA  Farm  Plan  Begins 
As  28  Enlist  For  Work 

First  Student-  Farmer 
Group    Starting    Today 

At  2:00  this  afternoon,  the  first  stu- 
dent-farmer contingent  of  any  consider- 
able size  left  Williamstown  to  pitch  hay  on 
one  of  the  nearby  dairy  farms  and  marked 
the  real  beginning  of  the  Williams 
Christian  Association  plan  to  help  alleviate 
the  local  rural  labor  shortage. 

Twenty-eight  undergraduates  have  now 
been  signed  by  the  WCA  and  Albert  V. 
Osterhout  '06,  executive  secretary  of  the 
Committee  on  Student  Aid,  and  a  work- 
ing schedule  is  being  outlined  through 
which  the  farmers  may  most  easily  obtain 
the  number  of  workers  they  want  when 
they  need  them. 

Ten-Thirty  Calls 

According  to  present  plans  and  the 
circular  letter  now  being  mailed  to  the 
neighboring  land  owners,  calls  will  be 
accepted  at  the  Osterhout  office  in  Hopkins 
Hall  as  late  as  10:30  in  the  morning. 
After  that,  the  call  will  be  relayed  to 
student  volunteers  either  by  telephone, 
card,  or  by  a  bulletin  board  system,  and 
they  will  be  told  where  and  when  to  report. 

More  Men  Needed 

The  group  of  four  Williams  students 
pitching  hay  for  the  Galusha  farm  this 
afternoon,  and  the  several  single  volunteer 
workmen  who  have  been  stationed  at 
various  dairies  and  farms  in  this  area 
are  by  no  means  all  the  labor  needed  or 
to  be  used  in  this  section.  Eighteen  of 
the  twenty-eight  are  freshmen  recruits, 
with  the  upperclass  registration  not  as 
yet  completed. 


Gargoyle  Urges  College  to  Permit 
Freshman  Eligibility  For  Varsities 

President  Baxter  and  Dr.  Locke  Will  Discuss 
Resolution  in   Talks   This  Weekend 

The  Gargoyle  Society  today  presented  to  President  James  1  Baxter,  3rd,  a 
resolution  urging  the  Administration  to  permit  freshman  partici|iation  in  varsity 
athletics.  The  recommendation,  which  resulted  from  two  we,  ks'  consideration 
and  investigation  by  the  society,  was  offered  by  C.  Gorham  :'liillips  '43,  Gar- 
goyle president,  and  William  C.  Schmidt,  Jr.  '43,  chairman  of  thi  society's  athletic 
committee. 

Dr.  Baxter  asserted  he  would  discuss  the  recommendation  over  he  weekend  with 
Dr.  Edwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  health  and  athletics.  The  Willienns  President 
is  in  town  for  four  days  to  preside  over  the 


summer  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
Text  of  Resolution 

The  Gargoyle  resolution  made  three 
recommendations: 

"1)  That  all  freshman  be  permitted  tn 
participate  in  varsity  athletics  for  the 
duration. 

"2)  That  all  sports  be  organized  on  a 
two-squad  basis  if  possible;  the  first  scpiail 
to  supply  material  for  the  varsity;  the 
second  to  furnish  the  men  for  a  jay-we 
team. 

".^)  That  immediately  following  tin 
end  of  the  war,  the  Administration  con- 
sidei  seriously  the  readoption  of  the  fresh 
man  athletic  program." 


Action  Now  Ur«ed 

In  making  these  pru.ajsals.  Chairman 
Schmidt  emphasized  tliat  Gargoyle  "is 
acting  now,  because  the  society  is  con- 
vinced that  the  issue  of  freshman  partici- 
|)ation  must  inevitably  i  ■  f;iced,  and  can 
lie  met  today  with  less  ■  mfusion  and  loss 
of  time  and  effort." 

Five  reasons  underlying  Gargoyle's 
resolution  urging  freshman  participation 
in  varsity  athletics  wc  re  presented  to 
President  Baxter  and  Dr.  Locke.  A 
summarization  of  these  leasons  follows: 

1)  Williams'  athletic  set-up  will  be 
ehaotic  if  the  preseni  freshman  non-

James  Leads  Lacrosse 
Sqaud  to  Free  Dinner 

Last      Prospective      Game 
Seems    Lost    to    Purple 

With  no  games  scheduled  through  the 
office  of  the  Graduate  Manager  of  Ath- 
letics, and  none  apparently  forthcoming. 
Coach  Whoops  Snively's  lacrosse  squad  is 
arranging  an  intra-squad  set-up  that  will 
liven  practice  and  supply  much  of  the 
incentive  needed  in  a  gameless  season. 

Dinner  For  Victory 

Dividing  his  recruits  into  three  approxi- 
mately equal  six-man  teams,  Snively  has 
presented  as  trophy  to  the  club  winning 
the  most  games  during  the  course  of  a 
week,  a  dinner  with  the  "fixin's"  on  Friday 
night.  These  teams  have  been  organized 
and  captained  by  the  squad's  three  goal- 
guards.  At  present,  the  group  lead  by 
senior  Iggy  James  is  showing  the  greatest 
power  or  appetite  with  a  credit  of  six 
consecutive  games  that  leaves  the  teams 
headed  by  varsity  captain  Dave  Brown, 
and  sophomore  Dave  Goodhart  pretty 
much  in  the  lurch. 

No  Mohawk  Game 

This  competitive  system  was  inaugur- 
ated when  the  Mohawk  Lacrosse  Club  of 
Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  was  turned  down 
after  offering  a  home-and-home  encounter 
as  a  non-coUcge  outfit.  Because  the 
Mohawk  club  was  not  a  college  team. 
Athletic  Fund  money  could  not  be  ob- 
tained to  send  the  Purple  to  Schenectady. 
This  fact,  and  the  unprecedented  summer 
football  practice  virtually  imperative  to

wish  to  play  the  former  sport  in  the  fall

$100  Ceiling 

On  Saturday  night  each  fraternity  or 
combination  of  fraternities  will  hold 
informal  dances  in  their  houses.  The 
Undergraduate  Council  has  ag.iin  placed  a 
ceiling  of  $100  on  the  amount  spent  for 
orchestras. 

"The  Driving  Committee  wishes  to 
announce  that  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
there  has  been  a  misunderstanding  con- 
cerning registration  of  cars  an<l  obtaining 
permits  to  drive,  the  registration  period 
has  been  excended  to  Wednesday,  July  22. 
It  is  strongly  urged  that  all  juniors  and 
seniors  obtain  their  permits  before  this 
time,  as  there  will  be  a  routine  check-up 
for  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  negligent. 
Two  students  have  been  penalized  heavily 
for  violating  the  driving  regulations 
through  ignorance  of  the  rules,  "  said 
Kittredge  today.

anyone  will  have  trouble  following  them." 

Individual  house  treasurers  are  expected 
to  draw  up  budgets  for  the  month  of 
August  using  the  system  now  in  operation,

Adelphic  Union  Expands 

A  novel  type  of  ijrogram  will  be  offered 
;i  'lecture-weary'  student  body  when,  on 
Tuesday  evening,  the  Adelphic  Union 
presents  an  informal  panel  discussion  on 
"The  People's  War,"  at  7:4.S  in  Jesup  Hall. 
The  initial  event  in  the  Union's  eidivened

its  leaders  Professors  Max  Lernir,  Richard 
A.  Newhall,  and  Frederick  L.  Schuman 
faculty  members  who  h.ue  gained  wide 
recognition  in  the  fields  c;f  political  science 
and  history. 

Based  upon  a  theme  suggested  by 
Professor  I.ern.r  several  months  ago,  more 
recently  popularized  by  Vice-President 
Wallace,  and  designed  to  stimulate 
audience  |)artieipation,  the  fcrum  will 
include  ten-  to  fiftetn-minute  addresses

Facing  Higher  Cost  of  Living,  Social  Groups 
Now  Save  on  Eggs,  Butter,  Meat,  and  Coffee 


by  Leston  G.  Havens,  '45 

With  food-saving  programs  general  and 
undergraduate  ingenuit\-  boundless,  Wil- 
liams social  groups  have  few  fears  for  the 
summer,  though  minor  curtailments  are 
campus-wide.  For  the  present  sugar 
supplies  appear  ample,  and  board  costs 
are  no  higher. 

Chief  among  the  restrict  ions  placed  are 
those  on  butter,  orange  juice,  and  the  more 
expensive  meats.  Midnight  snacks  and 
desserts  at  lunch,  gencralh  curtailed  at 
the  start  of  the  war,  have  been  further 
restricted  or  cut  out  entirely. 

E!ggs,  Cottee  Rationed 

Fewer  eggs  for  breakfast,  the  cutting 
down  on  cake,  cookies,  and  coffee  are  also 
measures  designed  to  lower  board  costs 
and  ease  supply  shortages,  and  some 
houses  have  undertaken  the  substitution 
of  milk  for  cream  whenever  piissible. 

An  outline  of  the  programs  undertaken 
by  each  of  the  social  groups  follows: 

Alpha  Dalta  Phi:  Cake  and  cookies 
are  no  longer  served  with  lunch,  and  the 
use  of  milk  and  cream  is  restricted.  Pan- 
cakes, cheaper  than  eggs,  are  substituted 
as  frequently  as  possible. 

Bata  Theta  Pi:  Sugar  is  not  served 
any  more  with  coffee,  and  there  has  been  a 
radical  reduction  in  the  number  of  victrola 
records  bought  to  make  up  for  the  in- 
creased food  costs. 

Chi  P»i:  One  egg  instead  of  two  is  the 
present  maximum,  and  dessert  is  no 
longer  served  at  luncheon.    There  is  an 


ample  sugar  supply.  Mend)ers  who  plan 
to  be  absent  from  a  meal  sign  their  names 
on  a  chart,  thuseffectinn  a  saving. 

Delta  Kappa  Epsilon:  Coffee  has 
been  eliminated  al  dinner,  and  two  glasses 
of  milk  and  two  squares  of  butter  are  the 
maximum  allowed  per  person  each  meal. 
The  serving  of  steak  has  been  reduced  to 
once  every  two  weeks,  and  milk  for  the 
waiters  at  night  is  out. 

Delta  Phi :  I  ncreasing  difficulties  have 
been  met  in  the  ])urchasc  of  certain  meats, 
and  consequently  the  choice  is  often 
narrowed.  Economizing  measures  have 
been  undertaken  in  every  way  possible. 

Delta  Psi:  No  restrictions  have  been 
found  necessary . 

Delta  Upsilon :  I  )esserts  are  no  longer 
served  at  lunch,  and  there  is  no  food  laid 
out  for  midnight  snacks. 

Garfield  Club:  Milk  has  been  sub- 
stituted in  all  cases  for  cream,  and  the 
amount  of  ice  tea  served  has  been  reduced. 
Steak  is  now  served  only  once  a  month, 
there  being  a  comparative  reduction  on  all 
expensive  meats.  On  the  whole  the  food 
situati(m  is  "very  optimistic." 

Kappa  Alpha :  Only  one  egg  is  served 
each  man  at  breakfast,  and  meals  are  no 
longer  as  elaborate  as  they  were. 

Phi  Delta  Theta:  Eating  between

A  Schedule  for  Lacrosse 

Over  forty  interested  men  have  actively  participated  in  lacrosse 
practices  thi.s  semester,  but  to  date  the  athletic  department  has  not 
scheduled  a  single  college  or  athletic-club  opponent  to  meet  them  on  the 
field. 

Lacrosse,  as  every  one  knows,  is  the  best  summer  sport  for  the  con- 
ditioning of  future  .soldiers,  sailors,  and  marines  that  Williams  offers. 
The  sport  here  ha.s  widespread  popularity  among  all  classes,  is  the  natural 
medium  through  which  the  college  can  condition  men  without  relying 
wholly  on  calisthenics,  and  has  won  as  much,  if  not  more,  undergraduate 
support  than  any  other  authorized  sport. 

In  the  face  of  these  facts,  the  lack  of  a  lacrosse  schedule  is  inex- 
plicable, particularly  when  both  tennis  and  baseball  teams  already  have 
games  on  the  docket,  particularly  as  day  by  day  attendance  at  lacrosse 
practice  slackens  because  the  team  has  no  games  ahead  as  an  incentive 
for  hard  work. 

If  the  athletic  department  sets  as  its  summer  policy  the  conditioning 
of  future  fighters,  how  account  for  the  lack  of  a  lacrosse  schedule?  If 
the  athletic  department  believes  that  intercollegiate  athletics  will  build 
college  morale  and  keep  its  men  in  shai)e,  how  account  for  the  lack  of  a 
lacrosse  schedule?  If  the  athletic  department  stresses  equality  of 
opportunity  in  its  three  autiiorized  intercollegiate  summer  sports,  how 
account  for  the  lack  of  a  lacros.se  .schedule? 

We  cannot  account  for  it,  and  h()i)e  the  athletic  department  will  be 
able  to  schedule  opponents  for  the  lacrosse  team,  from  among  other 
colleges  and  athletic  clubs,  on  a  home-aiid-home  basis  in  the  near  future. 


Fighting  France 

Tuesday  evening,  July  14,  the  peo])le  of  Williamstown  gave  Nazi- 
dominated  France  an  answer  our  Department  of  State  and  the  foreign 
offices  of  the  United  Nations  were  unwilling  to  give.  Tuesday  evening's 
Bastille  Day  celebration  and  hundreds  of  others  like  it  told  the  oppressed 
peoples  of  France  that  we  stand  solidly  behind  them. 

On  Bastille  Day,  the  national  holi<lay  banned  by  the  Vichy  govern- 
ment in  1940,  other  events  took  place:  In  France  Nazi  police  struggled 
vainly  to  suppress  spontaneous  demonstrations  by  the  people;  in  Wash- 
ington Sumner  Wells  announced  that  Vichy  had  flatly  reiected  United 
States  proposals  that  the  French  fleet  interned  in  Alexandria  be  removed 
to  the  Western  Hemisphere;  in  London  a  politically  unrecognized  General 
Charles  deGaulle  pledged  continuing  Free  French  sup])ort. 

And  on  that  day  the  United  States  continued  to  recognize  the  Vichy 
government  as  the  true  government  of  France  —  the  Petain-Laval  dic- 
tatorship which  Professor  Schuman  termed  "the  forces  of  the  counter- 
revolution, who  betrayed  France,  who  sold  their  country-men  to  Hitler 
for  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  who  have  set  out  to  abolish  Liberty,  Equality, 
and  Fraternity." 

While  the  Department  of  State  hesitated,  while  officials  continued 
to  refuse  recognition  of  the  fighting  French  as  the  government  of  France, 
free  peoples  through  the  world  gave  France  her  answer  last  Tuesday. 
Perhaps  the  .\inerican  spirit  of  Bastille  Day  will  help  convince  Washington 
that  you  cannot  appease  the  Nazis'  agents  any  more  successfully  than  the 
Nazis  themselves  were  appeased  at  Munich.

Angevin  and  Schwar/.er  '45. 


Students  who  have  not  already  done  so 
are  strongly  advised  to  get  ttieir  under- 
graduate athletic  tickets  before  Saturday, 
since  no  one  without  a  ticket  may  gain 
entrance  .  to  any  of  the  season's  games 
without  paying  full  admission. 


Letter  to  the  Editor 


All  students  owning  cars  who  have  not 
already  done  so  must  buy  a  $5  automobile 
stamp  immediately  and  be  sure  to  paste  it 
on  the  front  of  their  windshield.  Failure 
to  comply  with  this  regulation  will  result 
in    a    $25    fine.. 


To  the  Editor  of  The  Record 

Several  openings  have  developed  in  the 
machine  shop  training  oourse  due  to  fail- 
ure of  various  students  to  return  and  to 
changed  schedule  which  caused  others  to 
drop  out.  1  should  be  much  pleased  if 
you  would  make  this  fact  known  in  The 
Record  for  July  17  and  ask  that  anyone 
interested  in  entering  the  course  see  me 
at  once.  We  can  accommodate  about 
eight  new  students  in  the  course. 

In    addition   to    the    machine    training 
offered  In  the  past  we  are  now  ready  to 
allow  those   interested  to  study    internal 
combustion    engines,  their  structure,   re- 
pair    and      maintenance.     We     have     a 
Chevrolet  engine  and  a  Ford  V8  engine. 
This  study  may  be  of  particular  interest  to 
those  who  may  go  into  mechanized  units 
of  the  armed  forces  where  a  knowledge  of 
internal  combustion  engines  will  be  useful.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  JULY  17,  1942 


Incongruity  Renders  New'Cow*  'Inconclusive'; 
'Genius'  and  'Night  Brought  Fear'  Win  Prais 


by  Robert  J.  Allen 
Assistant  Professor   of  English 

People  willing  to  be  amused  who  have 
been  waiting  to  see  how  the  Sketch-Cow 
merger  would  come  out  will  hardly  find  an 
answer  in  the  first  number,  which  appeared 
last  week.  It  has  an  L.  Hill  cover  superior 
to  anything  which  has  blanketed  the 
Purple  Cow  for  several  years.  It  has  an 
honest,  if  negative,  statement  of  editorial 
aims,  certain  graphic  caricatures  ejf  college 
life,  several  stories  (two  excellent),  and 
various  quips,  critiques,  and  wanton  wiles. 
But  the  result  is  inconclusive. 

Old  Format  Retained 

One  confusing  factor  arises  from  the 
retention  of  the  old  Purple  Cow  format. 
Even  the  material  in  the  Wall  Street 
Journal,  if  printed  on  the  same  pages  with 
drawings  of  grotesquely  voluptuous  young 
women  and  college  men  whose  eyes  are 
X's,  would  acquire  an  oblique  and  raffish 
character.  The  serious  contributions  to 
the  new  Purple  Cow,  not  to  push  the 
comparison  any  farther,  suffer  from  a 
similar  incongruity.  It  is  encouraging  to 
note  that  the  editors  plan  a  change  of 
"size,  format,  and  design... as  soon  as 
present  contracts  expire"  and  that  they 
are  looking  forward  with  pleasure  to  the 
freedom  they  will  have  in  laying  out  a 
new  magazine. 

There  are  signs  throughout  the  new  issue 
that  the  editors  plan  to  develop  a  style  of 
writing  that  will  run  through  all  parts  of 
the  publication  except  the  stories.  The 
pervading  manner  promises  to  be,  at  its 
best,  light  and  amusing  without  sacrificing 
content  to  irresponsible  phrase-making. 
It  appears  to  good  advantage  in  "Coming 
Attractions?"  and  "Notes  at  8:40,"  two 
agreeable  departments  which  review  recent 
movies  and  plays.  In  the  profile  of  A.  G. 
James  '43,  a  certain  heaviness  creeps  in  in 
spite  of  gallant  efforts  to  avoid  it,  and  in 
"Reflections  on  Sex  Rationing  for  the 
Uninitiated"  (a  curiously  ambiguous  title, 
by  the  way ),  a  certain  faun-like  exuberance 
runs  away  with  the  author  completely. 
Whether  something  approaching  a  con- 
sistent style  can  be  achieved  is  not  yet 
clear.  If  it  can,  it  will  assist  the  new- 
format  in  fusing  the  two  old  magazines. 
"The  Pattern"  Good 

A  few  of  the  contributors  have  come 
through  well  for  the  first  combined  issue. 
The  article  entitled  "The  Pattern,"  on 
the  editorial  page,  predicts  the  continuance 
of  the  three-term  college  year  and  makes 
up  for  its  lack  of  exhaustiveness  by  a 
praiseworthy  independence  of  traditional 
academic  habits  of  thought. 

Two  narrative  pieces  are  also  worth 
special  comment.  The  one  called  "Genius" 
is  a  skillful  portrayal  of  a  common  kind 
of  self-deception,  that  of  the  man  who 
builds  up  his  own  complacency  by  elabor- 
ately justifying  himself  for  wasting  his 
time.  Another,  with  the  unfortunately 
cinematic  title,  "The  Night  Brought 
Fear,"  reveals  through  the  unsophisticated 
eyes  of  a  small  boy  a  tense  emotional 
situation  involving  adults.  Both  these 
stories  suggest  that  the  authors  know  what 
they  are  about  and  are  in  their  very  dif- 
ferent ways  highly  effective. 

Anonymity  A  Problem 
One  matter  of  policy  which  faces  the  new 
board  is  that  of  giving  ere  dit  to  authors

for  their  contributions.  In  Sketch  only 
editorials  were  regularly  anonymous.  In 
the  old  Purple  Cow  anonymity,  with  a 
few  exceptions,  was  the  rule.  The  new 
magazine  follows  the  latter  practice  in 
the  main,  but  four  or  five  contributions 
are  initialed.  The  only  thing  fully  signed 
is  a  letter  to  the  editor  by  a  young  lady 
from  Smith. 

The  efforts  of  the  combined  editorial 
board  suggest  that  it  is  receptive  towards 
a  variety  of  material,  and  it  deserves  en- 
couragement in  its  new  project  by  both 
readers  and  contributors.  Although  the 
fusion  seems  at  present  imcomplete  and 
the  announced  aim  of  excluding  everything 
"boring  or  dull"  has  not  yet  been  fully 
achieved,  the  best  of  the  recent  issue  is 
above  par.  The  appearance  of  the  first 
issue  with  the  new  format  is  the  thing 
to  watch. 


GARGOYLE 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
eligibility  rule  is  retained,  for  the  calendar 
of  the  next  two  years  will  produce  atblitic 
seasons  in  which  the  freshmen  will  he 
ineligible  for  half  a  season,  and  eligible  for 
the  other  half. 

2)  All  Williams'  football  oppoiiciits 
have  made  freshmeji  eligible,  execpl 
Amherst.  Gargoyle  does  not  favor  nui- 
ning  athletics  purely  for  the  purpose  of 
producing  a  winning  team,  but  does  feel 
that  a  winning  team,  if  produced  through 
completely  commendable  means,  is  a  greai 
boost  to  college  morale,  helps  sustain 
alumni  interest  in  Williams  teams,  ami 
greatly  encourages  the  athletes  theniseKes. 

i)  Harvard,  Yale,  and  Princeton,  wli:i 
have  in  the  past  been  policy-niakinj; 
leaders  in  the  non-professionalized  athletic 
collei;c  world,  have  all  made  freshmen 
cligiliU'  lor  varsity  competition. 

4)  Williams  freshmen,  under  the  accel- 
erated curriculum,  have  a  right  to  enjoy 
three  years'  varsity  experience  if  they  lia\e 
the  ability.  Under  the  present  set-up, 
Williams  freshmen  will  not  be  sufficiently 
traine<l  for  varsity  participation  until  the> 
have  been  at  college  for  over  a  year. 

.5)  The  college  will  be  increasiiigl\- 
dependent  on  freshmen  for  enrollment,  and 
Williams  will  soon  find  itself  unable  to 
collect  large  enough  athletic  squads  for 
effective  team  work  if  freshmen  continue 
to  be  ineligible. 

FORUM 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

The  de-emphasis  on  formal  debatin,; 
and  subsequent  trend  toward  round-table 
discussions  was  recogni/.ed  by  the  debaters 
as  they  voted  to  .dxuidon  the  formal 
Oxford  style  for  the  summer.  College 
panel  discussions  such  as  next  Tuesday's, 
and  inter-collegiate  Oregon  cross-examin- 
ation debates  will  be  held  in  an  effort  to 
awaken  audience  interest. 

Topics  of  Universal  Interest 

Said  Frank  M.  Wozencraft  '44,  upon  his 
election  to  fill  the  office  of  vice-president, 
vacated  when  Jerome  K.  Travers  '43  left 
college,  "It  is  also  important  that  the 
topics  we  choose  be  of  universal  interest. 
We  will  welcome  suggestions  from  the 
students,  faculty,  and  townspeople  on 
topics  for  our  debates  and  discussions."

R.  G.  Washburne  Acquires 
Spring  Street's  Oldest 
Business    Establishment 

Established  a  few  \ lars  prior  to  1858 
and  believed  to  be  Williamstown's  oldest 
active  business,  the  t'ullege  Book  Slore 
changed  hands  for  the  third  time  in  its 
history,  thi>  first  in  forty  years,  last  Mini- 
day  when  Carlton  G.  Smith  announced 
its  sale  to  his  son-in-law  Raymond  B. 
Washburne  '27  of  Williamstown. 

Mr.  Smith,  a  gradnale  of  Williams  in 
1894,  assumed  title  and  management  of 
the  book  store  in  1902  lipon  the  death  of 
his  father,  and  in  the  ensuing  four  decades 
has  come  to  be  one  of  Williamstown's 
leading  citizens  in  civic  as  well  as  business 
circles. 

Former  Reporter 

Mr.  Washburne  is  well-known  in  this 
locality  as  the  former^  Williamstown  and 
Williams  college  repoMiT  for  the  North 
Adams  Transcript,  a  position  \vhich  he 
held  for  sixteen  yeaih.  Having  spent 
most  of  his  time  to  date  in  becoming 
acquainted  with  business  details  and 
practices,  Mr.  Washburne  has  had  little 
opportunity  for  shaping  policy  for  the 
future.

In  the  tenth  Hob  (iardner  raised  Wil-

of  the  afternoon,  but  hi-  was  left  stranded. 
The  Indians  faired  bett.T  in  their  half. 
I'bil  Fessenden  walked  and  was  sacrificed 
to  second.  Daniels,  who  had  already 
touched  West  for  a  pair  of  safeties,  was 
intentionally  passed.  Koslowski  also 
walked,  filling  the  bases. 

At  this  point,  Caldwell  sent  in  sophomore 
I'bil  .Smith  to  relieve  West  and  try  to  sa\-e 
the  game.  Schumacher  smashed  the  ball 
at  first  sacker  Wallace  who  managed  to 
tag  Koslowski  going  to  secojul,  but  was 
unable  to  beat  the  fleet  Schunracher  to 
first.  Fessenden  scored  the  winning  run 
on  the  play.

the  lirsl  frame  and  another  pair  in  the 
fourth,  the  Purple  was  never  headed. 
Capl.iin  Schmidt  was  the  big  man  at  the 
plate  with  two  triples,  a  single,  and  a  pair 
of  walks  in  five  trips  to  the  plate.

College  ARP  Functions 
Smoothly  in  Black-out 

On  Wednesday  night  at  10:20,  the  lights 
of  Williamstown  blinked  out  as  the  com- 
munity went  through  another  test  air- 
raid alarm  succe.ssfully.  Winthrop  H. 
Root,  head  of  the  college  ARP,  sai(l  that 
there  was  "no  particular  incident"  as  the 
20-minute  black-out  "went  off  smoothly." 

L'nder  the  supervision  of  the  new  post 
wardens,  who  now  number  two  for  every 
itnportant  building  and  every  dormitory 
entry  on  the  campus,  lights  were  ex- 
tinguished everywhere  almost  before  the 
alarm  siren  had  ceased.  Wardens,  equip- 
ped with  arm-bands  and  dimmed  flash- 
lights, went  to  their  posts  in  complete 
darkness.  Those  who  were  attending  the 
Walden  Theatre  were  forewarned,  but  the 
college  ARP  headquarters  received  no 
notification  of  the  surprise  black-out  until 
10:00  P..V1. 

Professors  Root,  Franklin,  and  Shepard 
were  statiimed  at  the  Hopkins  Hall  center 
to  direct  tli*?  ARP  personnel,  but  the 
messenger  service  which  has  been  institut- 
ed was  not  ta.xed  very  heavily  by  untoward 
incidents. 

Four- way  Tie  Reached 
In  Intramural  Softball 

The  Intramural  Cup  tilt  for  the  Softball 
crown  swung  into  high  gear  yesterday  and 
at  present  the  Betes,  the  Chi  Psis,  the 
1-^.  Phis,  and  the  Zetes  are  riding  the  crest 
of  the  wave  with  unsullied  records — three 
wins  and  no  losses.  The  A.D.s,  D.U.s, 
and  Phi  Gams  are  close  behind  with  (mly 
one  defeat  on  the  ledger. 

T(nn  Leary's  homer  in  an  early  inning 
got  the  Zetes  olT  to  a  good  start  yesterday 
against  the  Phi  Sigs  and  thc\-  managed  to 
rap  hits  out  ccmsistently  after  that  to  win 
13-2.  Closest  game  of  the  day  was  the 
Theta  I  )elts'  triumph  over  the  Psi  II. 's 
7-2,  but  Bill  Schlosser  pitehid  an  adequate 
five-bit  game  and  kept  the  T.  fi.s  safely 
ahead. 

Other  games  of  yesterday  were  marked 
by  lop-sided  scores.  Typical  was  the  15-2 
victory  over  the  Garfield  Club  that  Ted 
Richardson  pitched  for  the  Delta  Phis. 
Games  played  earlier  in  the  week  were 
comparatively  closer  with  few  exceptions. 
One  of  the  most  even  games  was  the  battle 
between  the  Kaps  and  the  Dekes,  Dave 
Bradley's  three  bagger  paving  the  way  for 
a  11-10  triumph  for  the  Kaps  in  an  extra 
inning.

Brown  Announces 
Purple  Key  Reform 

Managers  Now  Required 
to  Hand  in  Receipts; 
Embezzling       Prevented 

As  a  result  of  a  reform  passed  at  the  close 
of  the  last  college  year,  all  members  of  the 
Purple  Key  are  now  being  required  to 
hand  in  receipts  for  all  expenses  they  niay 
acquire  during  athletic  trips,  David  W. 
Brown  '43,  president  of  the  society, 
announced  recently. 

Previous  to  this  time,  the  undergrad- 
uate managers  have  merely  handed  in  a 
report  of  their  expenses,  after  first  giving 
Albert  V.  Osterhout  '06,  graduate  man- 
ager of  athletics,  an  estimate  of  hoiv  much 
they  thought  was  necessary.  Receipts 
for  trip  expenses  were  not  demanded. 
Owing  to  the  fact  that  in  the  past,  a  few 
inanagers  have  embezzled  money,  this 
recent  reform  will  eliminate  all  oppor- 
tunities for  taking  money  which  should 
have  been  returned  to  the  college. 

Election  Date  Clianj^ed 

In  addition  to  putting  this  reform  into 
practice,  the  Purple  Key  has  also  decided 
to  change  the  date  of  election  of  officers, 
President  Brown  stated.  At  a  meeting 
held  on  July  '),  the  first  of  three  such 
meetings  to  be  held  during  the  course  of 
the  college  year,  provisions  were  made  for 
amending  the  date,  in  order  to  coincide 
with  the  Undergraduate  Council  election 
early  in  December. 

Also  at  this  meeting,  a  new  Executive 
Committee  was  elected,  consisting  of 
Edward  L.  Emerson,  manager  of  lacrosse, 
Edward  C.  Brown,  Jr.,  manager  of  foot- 
ball, and  Thomas  S.  Kiernan  '43,  manager 
of  basketball.  The  Executive  Committee, 
compcjsed  of  these  three  men  who  represent 
sports  of  different  seaso.ns,  will  be  largely 
responsible  for  the  Fall  Dance,  which  the 
Purple  Key  puts  on  for  the  benefit  of  the 
training  table. 

Brown  also  declared  that  no  under- 
graduate manager  will  be  working  in  Mr. 
Osterhout's  office  during  the  summer  to 
handle  the  managerial  reports  and  ex- 
pense sheets.  Due  to  the  comparatively 
light  athletic  schedule  for  the  summer 
semester,  the  additional  help  of  a  student 
manager  has  not  been  considered  neces- 
sary.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  JULY  17.  1942 


Tennis  Team  Plans 
Curtailed  Schedule 

Six  Games  for  Varsity; 
Class  Match  Arranged ; 
Rockwood    Goes    Slowly 

With  ill!  indications  at  tlie  opening  of 
college  pointing  toward  a  comparatively 
quiet  tennis  season,  a  newly-organized 
court  siiuatl,  minus  the  services  of  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee,  has  now  come  up  with  a 
schedule  that  promises  plenty  of  action 
for  tennis  enthusiasts.  The  team,  headed 
by  Captain  Tod  Hunt,  took  matters  into 
its  own  hands  ivhen  no  matches  were 
forthcoming  and,  with  permission  of  the 
authorities,  arranged  a  full  intcrscholastic 
and  intramural  program. 

Season  Opens  Tomorrow 

The  varsity  season  will  open  tomorrow 
when  the  squad  plays  host  to  a  compara- 
tively weak  Dartmouth  outfit.  Ten- 
tative matches  are  also  planned  with 
Vale  on  August  14  and  Trinity  on  August 
15,  with  return  matches  to  follow  later  in 
the  month  with  all  threo  schools. 

The  six-man  team  will  be  made  up  from 
Captain  Hunt,  returning  lettermen  George 
Schmid  and  Dick  King,  Dick  Hole,  last 
year's  freshman  sensation,  Dick  Means, 
unofficial  junior  champion  of  Maine,  and 
(iordon  Michler,  Les  Havens  anil  Stu 
Wilson.  Six  slngl,,'s  and  two  doubles 
matches  will  be  plaj'ed. 

Bullock   Coaching 

According  to  Uncle  Ed  Bullock,  coach 
pro  lent,  and  manager  Jim  Maninez,  the 
prolileni  of  transportation  will  be  taken 
care  of  by  the  members  of  the  team  them- 
selves. In  addition  to  the  regularly 
scheduled  matches,  the  scjuad  will  keep  in 
shape  by  playing;  tennis  clubs  from  Pitts- 
field  and  North  .-Xdams  and  will  send 
represent;vtives  to  tiie  invitation  Benning- 
ton Country  Club  tournament  later  in  the 
season. 

Much  interest  is  centering  on  plans  for 
intramural  tennis.  The  Department  of 
Physical  Education,  in  conjunctirn  with 
the  varsity  squad,  will  sponsor  an  infr- 
class  competition  with  anyone  not  plaj  Ing 
on  an  interscholastic  team  eligible  for 
participation.  Pla>-ing  in  this  tournament 
will  partly  fulfill  rcciuirements  for  the  new 
compulsory  P.T.  jDrogram  and  freshmen 
will  receive  their  numerals  as  th^'y  would 
for  any  other  athletic  activity. 

In  the  current  Rockwood  Tennis 
Tournament,  the  favorites  continued  an 
interrupted  advance  as  the  contest  pro- 
gressed slowly.  Topseeded  Tod  Hunt 
was  extended  to  6-3,  f)-4  in  a  hardfought 
second  round  victory  ()\'er  freshman  Lew- 
Lincoln.  Dick  Hole,  favored  to  take 
second  place,  was  in  top  form  in  disposing 
of  Don  Kendall,  (:- 1 ,  6-3.  George  Schmid 
and  Dick  Means,  seeded  numbers  three 
and  four  respectively,  have  not  yet  played 
their  first-round  matches.  Dee  to  in- 
sufficient data  on  the  e.ntrants,  only  the 
first  four  contestants  were  secd.d.

Schuman  Seeks  'People's  World  Congress'; 
Offers  'Design  For  Peace'  At  Conference 


After  offering  a  "Design  for  a  People's 
Peace"  at  the  Institute  of  Public  Affairs 
held  last  Saturday  in  Charlottesville,  V'a., 
Prof.  Frederick  L.  Schuman  returned  to 
Williamstown  this  week  to  begin  circu- 
lation of  petitions  that  seek  to  place  a 
proposition  asking  for  a  World  Convention 
of  P'ree  People  on  November's  ballots. 
Petition  Circulated 

Together  with  Dr.  Philip  L.  Frick  of  the 
Williamstown  Methodist  Church  and 
twenty-one  interested  men  from  Political 
Science  classes.  Professor  Schuman  has 
begun  a  campaign  to  secure  enough 
signatures  for  his  resolution  to  have  it 
placed  on  the  ballots  of  the  next  election. 
The  resolution  asks  that  the  President  call 
a  Constitutional  Convention  of  Free 
Peoples  at  the  earliest  possible  moment  to 
prepare  a  program  for  democratic  world 
government. 

In  addressing  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia's Institute  of  Public  Affairs,  Pro- 
fessor Schuman  argued  for  a  merging  of 
the  present  sovereign  powers  into  a  single, 
permanent  world  authority.  Professor 
Schuman  summed  up  the  need  for  such  a 
union  when  he  said,  "Only  in  this  fashion 
can  world  politics  be  made  an  orderly 
process  of  compromise  and  planning  for 
welfare  and  justice  rather  than  a  hideous 
nightmare  of  force  and  fraud." 

New  Changes  Necessary 

He  went  on  to  emphasize  this  point  by 
saying,  "Here  is  our  best  hope,  and  perhaps 
our  last  hope,  to  win  the  war  by  winning 
the  peace  through  a  free  world  order  now." 
Professor  Schuman  proved  this  idea  by 
showing  that  we  are  losing  the  war  now 
and  will  lose  the  peace  unless  those  in 
charge  are  willing  to  undertake  new  de- 
partures in  the  conduct  of  the  war  and 
formulate  a  peace  plan  that  will  be  a 
principal  weapon  of  victory. 

First  step  in  the  plan  envisaged  by 
Professor  Schuman  is  the  establishment  of 
a  supreme  political  council.  He  conceived 
of  the  council  "as  a  provisional  world 
executive  to  function  in  peace  and  war 
alike  for  the  organization  and  direction  of 
a  world  police  force  and  for  the  rational 
planning  of  a  post  war  economy." 

Eminent  jurists  of  all  the  powers  would 


publicity  group,  and  formally  enlist 
accepted  applicants  in  whatever  training 
program  they  choose. 

Phe  preliminary  survey,  designed  by 
Dr.  Newhall  to  determine  the  number 
interested  in  the  new  Army  Reserve  plan, 
as  well  as  in  other  programs,  has  not  been 
tabulated,  since  all  returns  are  not  yet  in. 
Dr.  Newhall  pointed  out,  however,  that 
the  Army  plan  is,  in  a  sense,  an  experiment 
susceptible  to  radical  change  if  student 
response  does  not  warrant  its  continuation 
in  the  present  form. 

Quota  Might  Be  Lowered 

For  this  reason  all  those  interested 
sh(]uld  declare  their  intention  immediately 
without  waiting  until  the  last  minute 
before  being  drafted.  Any  institution 
which  does  not  fill  their  assigned  quota 
may  have  the  surplus  allotment  trans- 
ferred to  some  other  college  in  the  same 
corps  area. 

Mr.  Perry  emphasized  that  it  is  the 
intention  of  the  Army  to  conduct  their 
recruiting  activities  on  a  personal  basis 
with  each  individual  to  insure  a  complete 
understanding  of  each  man's  particular 
abilities.  The  Health  Center  will  be 
empowered  to  administer  physical  exami- 
nations, and  a  single  liaison  officer  between 
the  college  and  all  branches  of  the  armed 
forces  will  be  appointed  soon.

be  placed  in  the  world  court  that  Professor 
Schum.in  named  as  the  second  requisite  of 
his  plan  for  world  union.  Such  a  court 
would  be  similar  in  function  to  that  set  by 
the  Versailles  treaty.  It  would,  however, 
be  backed  by  the  authority  and  police 
force  of  the  executive  council. 

The  third  step  in  Professor  Schuman's 
plan  is  the  establishment  of  a  Continental 
Congress  of  Legislators  to  draw  up  "A 
World  Bill  of  Rights."  Characterizing 
the  Atlantic  Charter  as  "pale  platitudes," 
Professor  Schuman  said,  "Without 
stronger  aims  than  those  of  the  Charter, 
we  can  hardly  offer  the  enemy  and  con- 
quered peoples  a  better  future  than  that 
which  the  foe  promises." 

In  closing  Prof.  Schuman  dubbed 
sovereign  equality  of  nations  "a  pre- 
scription for  irresponsibility  and  inaction.' 
He  said,  "We  shan't  even  begin  winning 
the  war,  to  say  nothing  of  the  peace,  until 
some  such  steps  as  these  are  taken." 

Cru  Lauds  French 
Democratic  Ideals 
On  Bastille  Holiday 

Schuman  Urges  Second 
Front,  Condemns  Policy 
of      Vichy      Recognition 

Prof.  Jean  N.  Cru  leaned  over  the 
speaker's  table,  his  voice  bareh'  autlible; 
"The  large  majority  of  French  jieople  are 
democratic  —  democratic  through  and 
through,"  he  said.  "The  French  are  as 
democratic  as  you  and  I."

Battle  of  Verdun  and  president  of  the 
local  group,  outlined  the  ideals  of  the 
France  Quand  Meme  movement  and  of  the 
French  people. 

"French  Democratic  Ideal" 

"The  Statue  of  Liberty — ,"  he  said. 
"That  statue  is  now  American,  as  Amer- 
ican as  Mt.  Vernon  or  Gettysburg.  We 
all  know  she's  a  foreigner — born,  con- 
ceived, and  mounted  in  France — but 
there's  a  French  democratic  ideal  behind 
that  statue  identical  to  the  American 
ideal." 

Pointing  to  Bastille  Day  as  "a  mani- 
festation of  democracy  which  therefore 
must  now  be  taboo  in  France,"  Professor 
Cru  emphasized  that  the  purpose  of  the 
France  Forever  move  "is  not  to  gather 
funds,  but  to  gather  sympathy,  men, 
women,  minds,  thu.se  who,  with  us,  are 
convinced  that  the  armisiice  was  a  sleight 
of  hand." 

Schuman  Speaks 

Professor  Frederick  L.  Schuman,  in  the 
second  principal  address  of  the  evening, 
likened  today's  crisis  to  that  in  the  1790's. 
"We  are  met  in  another  age  of  world 
revolution,"  he  said,  "in  which  we  are 
summoned  as  the  price  of  our  very  survival 
to  rededicate  ourselves  to  Liberty,  Equal- 
ity, and  Fraternity." 

Professor  Schuman,  emphasizing  the 
importance  of  our  "fighting  French" 
allies,  condemned  the  policy  of  the 
department  of  state  which  continues  to 
recognize  the  Vichy  government,  "the 
men  of  the  counter-revolution  who  be- 
trayed France,  who  sold  their  country  men 
to  Hitler  for  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  who 
have  set  out  to  abolish  Liberty,  Equality, 
and  Fraternity." 

Calls  For  Action 
Our  leadership,  Schuman  continued, 
has  attempted  to  fight  a  revolutionary  war 
without  using  revolutionary  tactics.  Thus 
far  we  have  envisioned  a  second  front  in 
terms  only  of  men,  guns,  and  ships.  As 
long  as  it  is  so  envisioned,  he  said,  an 
effective  second  front  will  be  impossible." 


Heuer,  Davis  Share 
Golf  Medal  Honors 

Both  Men  Set  150  Mark 
in  Qualifying  Round  For 
College       Championship 

Charlie  Heuer  and  Pete  Davis  divided 
the  medal  honors  in  the  qualifying  rounds 
of  the  college  golf  tournament  early  this 
week  when  both  men  posted  36-hole  totals 
of  150.  Their  scores  set  a  mark  for  the 
rest  of  the  field  to  shoot  at,  for  the  qualify- 
ing period  does  not  close  until  Sunday 
night. 

Freshman  golf  champ  a  year  ago  and 
also  runner-up  for  the  college  crown, 
Heuer  put  together  rounds  of  73,  even  par, 
and  77.  The  latter  round  included  six 
birdies  and  a  string  of  bogies. 

Playing  more  consistently  than  his 
sophomore  rival,  Davis  finished  with 
74-76  for  his  four  over  par  total.  There  is 
a  good  chance  that  Davis  can  better  his 
150  mark,  for  qualifying  play  is  based  on 
the  best  two  out  of  three  rounds.  But 
Heuer  will  not  get  another  crack  at 
Taconic  until  match  play  starts,  for  he  left 
Wednesday  to  enter  the  Philadelphia 
Amateur  Championship  in  which  he  was 
runner-up  a  year  ago. 

At  present  only  two  other  men  in  the 
field  share  any  possible  chance  of  snaring 
the  medalist  honors  from  Heuer  and  I-)avis. 
They  are  Captain  Fred  Barnes  and  Bill 
Courter.  The  latter  turned  in  a  78  on  his 
first  round  of  play  and  has  failed  to  add 
another  score  to  his  total.  Barnes  fired  a 
42-34 — 76  Thursday  afternoon,  hitting 
seventeen  of  eighteen  greens  but  also 
having  a  good  deal  of  putting  trouble. 

Another  distinct  possibility  in  the  tourn- 
ament is  last  year's  champion.  Bob 
McKee,  who  h.is  not  yet  entered  a  score. 
Lat  year  Da\is  grabbed  off  medalist 
honors  with  7(1-77—147. 


Sharpless  '39  Killed 
Going  from  A  ir  Base 
To  Tallahassee,  Fla. 


While  traveling  on  July  2  from  Wilming- 
ton, N.  C.  to  Tallahassee,  Fla.,  Lieutenant 
Franklyn  Sharpless  '39  of  the  Army  Air 
Force  was  accidentally  killed  near  Thom- 
asville,  Ga.  The  nature  of  the  accident 
was  not  revealed  by  the  Army  spokesman 
who  announced  his  death. 

Twenty-five  years  old,  Sharpless  had 
been  an  operations  officer  for  an  observa- 
tion stjuaclron  at  the  air  base  at  Camp 
Davis,  Wilmington.  He  had  received  his 
preliminary  training  in  Montgomery,  Ala., 
after  enlisting  in  the  Air  Force  in   1941. 

Sharpless,  whose  ancestors  came  to 
Philadelphia  with  William  Penn,  was  a 
member  of  Chi  Psi.  He  played  lacrosse 
in  his  freshman  year,  and  was  an  excellent 
fencer  throughout  his  four  years  at  college. 

In  1937,  he  won  the  Gilwcll  Wood 
Badge,  highest  honor  of  Britain's  Im- 
perial Scout  Association.  Lord  Robert 
Baden-Powell  presented  Sharpless  with 
the  badge  for  leadership  in  scouting  and 
campcraft.

Schuman  Calls  For 
Total  War'  View 
Of  'Second  Front' 

Traces  Enemy  Strategy 
at  First  Union  Panel; 
Newhall     Praises     Army 

hy  Peter  L).  Sii.vkrstone  '45 
Warning  that  tluTc  can  be  no  st'cond 
front  this  yrar  or  any  year  "so  long  as  we 
leave  its  organization  in  the  hands  of  mili- 
tary men  ahjne,"  Prof.  Frederick  L. 
Schuman  called  for  a  program  of  revolu- 
tionary warfare  as  an  integral  part  of  the 
United  Nations'  "global  strategy"  at  the 
Adelphic  Union's  first  informal  summer 
panel  discussion  held  in  Jesup  Hall  Tues- 
day night.  Discussing  "The  People's 
War,"  Professor  Schuman  and  Dr.  Kichard 
A.  Newhall,  acting  college  president,  both 
stressed  the  need  for  a  united  effort  for 
victory,  although  they  disagreed  oti 
specific  imperatives. 

Need  Combination  of  Factors 

Addressing  an  audience  comprised  iil 
college  men  and  townspeople,  Professor 
Schuman  declared  that  we  are  hamijered 
because  we  have  not  learned,  as  have  oui 
enemies,  to  combine  military,  economic, 
diplomatic,  iileolugical,  and  revolutionary 
resources,  "Because  of  this — not  for  lack 
of  determination,  courage,  or  resources — " 
observed  the  political  scientist,  "the 
United  Nations  are  still  losing  the  war." 

Prof.  Max  l,erner,  intended  as  the  third 
member  of  the  panel,  could  not  be  present 
owing  to  an  attack  of  grippe. 

Dr.  Newhall  called  his  own  experience;: 
in  the  last  war  "morally  and  spiritualh 
stimulating."  Terming  the  army  a 
"colossal  te.im  for  the  achievement  of  B 
single  purpose",  Dr.  Newhall  spoke  of 
leadership  as  a  "moral  obligation  as  well 
as  a  privilege."  He  advised  new  arnn 
recruits  that  "the  best  antidote  to  fear  in 
the  face  of  danger  is  some  kind  of  action." 
Sees  Archangel  Drive 

Professor  Schuman,  in  tracing  step-by- 
step  the  Axis  global  strategy  of  "cutting 
off  your  enemy  from  his  allies  and  then 
launching  a  frontal  assault,"  predicted  a 
combined  Nazi-Finnish  drive  on  Lenin- 
grad, Murmansk,  and  Archangel  to

Undergraduate  Council 
Changes  Legacy  Ruling 

S.A.C.  Reduces  Tax  to  $2; 
Treasurers      to      Collect 

In  action  taken  this  week  the  Under- 
graduate Council  revised  the  legacy  rush- 
ing rules,  suspended  the  driving  rule  for 
Summer  Houseparties,  and  strengthened 
the  rule  requiring  the  Class  of  1946  to  wear 
freshman  hats.  Alan  G.  James  '43, 
president  of  the  Student  Activities  Coun- 
cil announced  this  week  that  the  S.  A.  C. 
tax  has  been  reduced  to  $2.00  as  a  war- 
time economy  measure. 

Starts  In  August 

The  new  S.  A.  C.  tax  will  probabl>- 
appear  on  the  August  bills  of  the  sixteen 
social  units  as  provided  by  a  ruling  passed 
last  spring  that  designated  house  trea- 
surers as  collectors  of  the  tax.  The 
reduction  was  made  possible  by  the  greatly 
reduced  expenses  of  the  member  organi- 
zations. 

Legacy  Problem 

Following  Record  editorial  recommen- 
dation that  the  law  "injuring  the  chances 
of  non-legacies  of  getting  the  house  of 
their  choice"  be  stricken  from  the  books, 
the  Undergraduate  Council  eliminated 
preferences  for  legacies  on  bid  lists,  but 
left  intact  the  rule  providing  for  the 
publication  of  a  list  of  all  legacies,  direct 
or  indirect,  and  the  rule  which  states  that 
freshmen  cannot  pledge  houses  of  which 
they  are  legacies  for  five  months,  if  they 
do  not  do  so  pledge  night. 

Driving  Ban  Lifted 

From  12  m.  Friday  the  .seventh  of 
August  until  twelve  midnight  August  9 
the  in-town  driving  rule  will  be  suspended 
for  juniors  and  seniors.  The  U.  C.  also 
announced  that  the  band  ceiling  has  been

Chem  Department  Faces    War  Shortage 
Of  Necessary   Chemicals  and  Equipment 

"With  careful  conservation  of  chemicals  and  apparatus  by  students,  existing  sup- 
|)liis  may  be  sufficient  to  last  out  the  current  academic  year,"  Prof.  John  F. 
King  announced  yester<lay,  as  the  Chemistry  Department  put  into  operation  a 
strict  conservation  plan. 

WI'B  Order  Nec<led 

Originally  given  an  A2  rating  by  the 
VVI'li,  to  enable  the  deparlnient  to  obtain 
chemical  supplies,  Williams  is  now  unable 
to  get  delivery  on  many  badly-iunled 
chemicals.  Acetic  acid,  ammonia,  cork, 
magnesium,  and  rubber  represent  the  nio.st 
vital  shortages.  This  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  since  giving  Williams  an  A2  niting, 
the  WI'B  has  erected  a  superstructure  of 
special  classifications  on  top  of  the  old 
order. 

May  Revise  flourses 
Coinciding  with  this  dangerous  shortage 
is  the  crying  need  of  the  nation  for  tniimd 
chemists,  and  the  increasing  difficulty  of 
giving  proper  training.  Minor  revisions 
in  courses,  necessitated  by  lack  of  mai.r- 
iais,  are  contemplated  unless  needed  su|i- 
plies  arrive.  There  is  little  prospect  '.f 
delivery  of  even  the  most  common  chcii;i 
eals  within  a  year,  and  vital  ones  iiecssai ;.

carrying  on  a    total    war   effort.     Hitler

tomorrow  and  Sunday,  with  the  finals 
Sunday  afternoon. 

College  Championship 

The  college  championship  ran  true  to 
form  through  the  first  round  with  all  the 
favorites  advancing.  Defending  cham- 
pion McKee  and  Fred  Barnes  had  tight 
squeezes  while  co-medalists  Pete  Davis 
and  Charlie  Heuer  piled  up  convincing 
margins. 

Bob  Maxfield  took  McKee  to  the 
twentieth  in  a  see-saw  affair  before  losing 
to  a  par.  McKee  came  from  behind  to 
square  the  match  at  the  fourteenth,  then 
the  pair  halved  five  holes  in  a  row.  Barnes 
came  from  behind  to  take  the  seventeenth 
hole  and  a  one-up  margin  over  Bob  Wright. 
Heuer  ^hips  Schlosser 

Heuer  was  one  over  par  to  defeat  Bill 
Schlosscr,  5  and  4,  and  Davis  trounced 
Bill  Todd,  low  freshman  in  the  qualifying, 
8  and  6. 

Other  victors  were  Bill  Courier,  Tom 
Hoover,  Don  Lindsay  and  Munro  Steel. 
Steel  put  out  Al  Waycott,  the  only  other 
freshman  to  make  the  title  sixteen,  with  a 
bird  on  the  eighteenth.

and  went  down  to  a  lO-S  defeat  in  the  last 
scheduled  game  before  meeting  Amherst 
at  2:30  p.m.  tomorrow  on  Pratt  Field. 
Spotting  the  Indians  .i  seven-run  lead  in 
the  fourth  inning,  the  Purple  came  back 
with  five  runs  in  the  bottom  half  of  the 
ninth,  but  were  unable  to  catch  the  Big

'The  Amherst  encounter  will  not  be  an 
official  Little  Three  encounter  because  no 
games  have  been  scheduled  w  ith  Wesleyan. 
Nevertheless,  this  game,  and  the  return 
engagement  on  housepart\'  weekend,  Aug- 
ust 8,  remain  as  the  feature  attractions  of 
Williams'  summer  season. 

It  was  the  second  straight  week  that  the 
Indians  prevailed  over  the  Purple,  even 
though  they  have  rapped  out  a  total  of 
but  twelve  base  hits  in  the  two  tilts. 
Bill  West  started  the  game,  but  was  re- 
lieviil  in  the  fourth  when  the  liig  Green 
loaded  the  bases  and  scored  a  run  with 
none  out.  Lefty  I^hil  Smith  took  over  the 
mound  duties  but  six  more  runs  crossed  the 
piair  before  he  could  retire  the  side. 
Simr  Phil  Fcssenden.whoscored  the  eighth 
run,  reached  on  a  scratch  hit  off  Smith, 
the  lanky  sophomore  was  charged  with

Last  Inninft  Rally 

With  the  count  10-3  against  them,  the 
IC|ihs  put  on  a  drive  in  the  last  of  the  ninth 
that  just  failed  to  nip  the  Indians.  After

Local  Rubber  Drive 
Collects  13^  Tons 

High  Praise  Given  Town 
by  Officials  in  Charge; 
Service      Stations      Help 

In  cooperation  with  President  Roose- 
velt's nation-wide  rubber  conservation 
program,  the  Williamstown  Salvage  Com- 
mittee amassed  13^  Ions  of  scrap  rubber 
through  a  drive  concluded  two  weeks  ago. 
'The  material,  ranging  from  hot  wati'r 
bottles  to  automobile  tires,  was  turned  in 
at  nine  hical  filling  stations,  where  the 
contributors  received  a  cent  a  pound  for  it. 
High  Praise  Given 

High  praise  was  accorded  the  committee 
by  John  I.  Taylor,  executive  .secretary  for 
the  Massachusetts  Bureau  of  Industrial 
Conservation.  In  a  letter  to  Wallace 
Green,  chairman  of  the  salvage  com- 
mittee and  assistant  treasurer  of  the 
Willimstown  Savings  Bank,  Taylor  said, 
"It  is  gooti  to  hear  that  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  towns  in  Massachusetts  is  also 
doing  one  of  the  most  outstanding  jobs  in 
the  state  on  salvage  work." 

Special  credit  should  be  awarded  to 
Gordon  J.  Bullet t,  |)roprietor  of  the  Gulf 
Station,  Green  pointed  out,  because  of  his 
excellent  work  in  organizing  collection  of 
the  scrap  at  the  various  filling  stations. 
Bullett  is  in  charge  of  the  salvage  of  metal 
and  rubber  for  the  local  connnittee. 
U.  S.  O.  Receives  Funds 

According  to  the  President's  plan,  the 
salvaged  rubber  will  be  bought  from  the 
nation's  filling  stations.  Since  some  of  the 
scrap  was  ccmtributed  without  compensa- 
tion, money  paid  for  this  donated  rubber 
will  be  turned  over  to  the  U.  S.  O.  to 
finance  entertainment  for  the  armed 
services.

Faculty  Wives  to  Use 
Gym  Twice  A  Week 

Lasell  Gymnasium  is  to  be  set  aside 
two  nights  a  week  for  members  of  the 
faculty,  their  wives,  and  children.  As  the 
result  of  the  announcement  of  Dr.  Edwin 
A.  Locke,  director  of  athletics,  the  gym 
doors  will  be  thrown  open  for  the  inaugural 
time  tonight,  and  on  all  subse(|uent 
Tuesday  and  Friday  nights  throughout 
the  summer,  principally  for  the  women 
and  their  children. 

The  present  coaches  and  faculty  locker 
room  will  be  reserved  for  the  men,  with 
the  visiting  team  rooms  and  the  main 
showering  facilities  turned  over  to  the 
women.  Swimming  Coach  Robert  B. 
Muir,  under  whose  general  supervision  the 
project  now  rests,  announced  today  that 
the  pool  would  be  attended  by  a  student 
lifeguard,  probably  sophomore  Richard  A. 
RafTman,  and  that  the  chemistry  of  the 
pool  would  be  revised  to  acctmimodate  the 
extra  load  of  the  summer  month!!. 


Freshman  paiticipation  in  varsity 
sports,  for  a  long  time  a  subject  of  debate, 
became  a  reality  last  Friday  when  the 
Faculty  Committee  on  Athletics  struck 
from  the  books  the  traditional  |  rohibition 
against  freshman  eligibility  for  varsity 
competition.  Their  action,  precipitated 
by  a  Ciargoyle  resolution  presented  to 
President  James  P.  liaxter,  3rd,  last 
Friday,  was  appro\-ed  by  the  trustees  the 
following  day. 

Haiined  For  2.5  Years 

In  a  year  already  noted  for  precedent- 
breaking,  the  liars  were  let  down  for  fresh- 
men for  the  first  time  since  World  War  I, 
when  the  original  prohibition  first  went 
into  eflfeet.  In  lifting  the  twenty-five 
year  old  ban,  the  Committee  on  Athletics 
provided  for  substantially  the  same  con- 
ditions of  competition  as  those  recom- 
mended in  the  Gargoyle  resolution 
published  in  'The  RECORD  last  week. 

'Tlie  new  rule  is  essentially  "an  emer- 
geiii)-  measure  of  a  temporary  character," 
to  continue  in  force  until  "further  action" 
is  deemed  necessary.  Probably  most 
sports  will  be  organized  on  a  two-squad 
basis,  the  first  sc|uad  to  provide  material 
for  the  varsity,  the  second  to  furnish  men 
for  a  jay-vee  team. 

Amherst  May  .Act 

.Amherst,  which  agreed  last  s])ring  to 
follow  Williams'  lead  in  the  matter  of 
fresliiiian  eligibility,  was  informed  ol  the 
recent  action  early  this  week  in  a  letter 
from  ,'\cting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
to  President  Stanley  King.  Presumably 
Amherst  will  follow  suit,  though  it  has 
been  agreed  that  freshmen  will  not  be 
allowed  to  play  in  the  baseball  game  there 
tomorrow.

Trustees  Vote  Holiday 
On  Labor  Day  Weekend 

Move         Commencement; 
Richmond    Given    Chair 

In  their  first  summer  meitir.g  in  the 
history  of  the  collegi'  the  Board  of  Trustees 
approved  the  proposal  to  niaki'  the 
Satunlay  before  Labor  Day  a  holiday, 
moved  Commencement  from  Sunday, 
February  21  to  Wednesday  February  17, 
and  at  the  same  time  issued  the  calendar 
for  the  spring  and  summer  terms  of  1943. 
They  also  aiipointed  Prof.  Donald  E. 
Richmond  as  Frederick  Latimer  Wells 
Professor  of  Mathematics,  the  position 
vacated  by  Dr.  James  G.  Hardy,  who 
retired  last  semester. 

Grudiinleil  From  Coriiell 

Dr.  Richmond  was  graduated  from 
Cornell  in  1920  where  he  remained  as  an 
instructor  in  Physics  until  1922.  He  was 
then  appointed  research  engineer  for  the 
American  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Cor- 
poration, but  in  1926  he  received  his  Ph.  D. 
from  Cornell,  and  after  teaching  mathe- 
matics there  for  a  year,  he  was  called  to 
Brown  where  he  remained  until  1926. 

In  1926  Dr.  Richmond  worked  as  a 
National  Research  Fellow,  and  the  follow- 
ing year  he  came  to  Williams  as  Assis- 
tant Professor  of  Mathematics.  In  1940 
he  was  promoted  to  a  full  professorship  and 
became  chairman  of  the  department.  Dr. 
Richmond  is  the  author  of  numerous 
articles,  and  among  his  published  works  is 
The  Dilemma  of  Modern  Phyiics. 

New  0>inmenccnienl  Dale 

The  new  Commencement  date  was  set 
as  a  result  of  the  government  request  that 
events  likely  to  cause  heavy  railroad 
IMissongcr  travel  be  scheduled  during  the 
week.  The  new  calendar  approved  by  the 
trustees  calls  for  classes  to  begin  on  March

Still  More  Progress  Needed 

Last  weekt'iid  Williani.s  uiRlergraduates,  faculty,  and  trustees 
jointly  contributed  to  the  solution  of  a  wartime  athletic  problem  con- 
froiiliiig  the  college.  After  full  con.sideration,  the  college  took  swift 
action  to  make  freshmen  eligible  for  varsity  competition.  But  still  more 
progress  i.s  needed  before  Williams'  uthletic  program  will  most  effectively 
condition  nu-ii  for  military  .service. 

CompuLsory  1'.  T.  has  taken  a  step  in  this  direction,  but  calisthenic 
offerings  on  a  once-a-week  basis  fail  to  provide  a  complete  conditioning 
])r()grani.  The  Navy  has  found  that  obstacle  races  best  condition  men 
iiol  yet  oil  active  duty,  and  Princeton  has  already  utilized  this  method 
ill  lis  eonipuLsory  physical  preparedness  classes.  Williams  can  easily  set 
up  an  obsliicle  course  on  college  property  in  the  Cole  Field  area  at  an 
expense  trifliiifi;  in  com])arison  to  the  results  obtained. 

With  the  growing  jiossibility  that  the  draft  age  may  be  lowered,  and 
witii  the  ever  iiieroasing  need  for  perfectly  conditioned  men,  Williams 
will  have  to  further  intensify  its  conditioning  program  in  future  weeks. 
We  are  certain  that  the  college  must  soon  require  each  undergraduate  to 
participate  at  least  Jitv  times  per  iveek  in  an  all-out  body-building  effort. 
With  that  immediate  goal  in  mind,  we  recommend  the  adoption  of  obstacle 
races  in  addition  to  the  calisthenic,  inter-squad,  and  intercollegiate  athletic 
activities  that  are  now  being  utilized  to  condition  Williams  men.

In  the  discussion  period  which  followed,

of  success  is  all  thai  is  necessary.  But 
added  "we  must  be  prepared  to  sustain 
terrilic  losses."  Professor  Schuman  dis- 
agreed, pointing  out  that  the  Germans 
lost  i)nl>  150,000  men  in  the  entire  W'estern

isolating     Russia's    heartland     from    the 
Caucasus  and  her  Anglo-American  supply

With  the  East  Indies,  Burma,  Malaya, 
and  the  Philippines  in  Japanese  hands 
"thanks  to  the  Anglo-American  policy  of 
appeasement,"  China  has  been  isolated 
and  India  is  endangered,  declared  Pro- 
fessor Schuman.  He  pointed  out  that 
Russia  is  similarly  endangered  by  the 
Japanese  occupation  of  the  western 
Aleutians.  "The  frontal  attack  on  China 
is  now  on.  Russia  will  be  next,  then 
Britain,  and  finally,  the  United  States,  her 
supply  lines  gone  and  her  allies  defeated, 
will  bear  the  full  brunt  of  an  all-out  Axis 
assault."

Singling  out  Finland,  France,  and 
Spain  as  the  most  logical  places  for  the 
United  Nations'  attack  <m  Europe,  Pro- 
fessor Schuman  decried  the  "nineteenth 
century  diplmnacy"  which  permits  us  to 
have  full  relations  with  Mannerhcini, 
Laval,  and  Franco.  "Our  State  Depart- 
ment is  the  major  olistacle  to  our  effort  at 
present,"  said  Professor  Schuman. 

Reiterating  that  we  mu.st  give  the 
people  of  Burma  and  India  something  to 
fight  for,  Professor  Schuman  urged  the 
immediate  declaration  f)f  a  worltl  federa- 
tion as  the  chief  instrument  in  stirring  up 
revolt  in  the  Axis  "buffer  areas."  "Wc 
lack  the  necessary  imagination  and  in- 
ventiveness to  present  a  disillusioned 
generation  any  promise,  of  a  future  world

you  enjoy  drill  work,  learning  the  manual 
of  arms,  praeticing  open  order  tactics,— 
why  not  join  Captain  IJrainerd  Mears 
and   his   Massachusetts   State   Guarders? 

"If  college  men  want  to  get  in  a  little 
military  training  in  order  to  prepare  for 
their  places  in  the  Army,  the  State  (juard 
is  willing  to  form  and  train  a  special  squad 
of  college  men,"  said  Captain  Mears, 
ihairnian  of  the  chemistry  department. 
"It  would  make  good  training  for  a  boy  if 
he  were  going  into  the  Regular  Service," 
seconded  Lieutenant  Joseph  (Uncle  Ed) 
Bullock,  assistant  professor  of  physical 
education. 

Sultonstall  Coininnndcr' 

The  State  Clii.ird  is  subject  to  orders 
directly  from  (lovernor  Leverett  .Salton- 
stall  and  the  e(]uipnient  issued  to  each 
man  comes  from  the  Cominonwealth 
.Armory  in  Boston. 

The  requirements  have  been  set  by  the 
state  and  include  a  thorough  physical 
examination  which  is  given  by  the  com- 
pany physician,  Major  Vrooinan.  "A 
candidate  must  be  over  18  and  ijrobably 
under  60,"  said  Captain  Mears.  An 
oath  of  allegiance  to  the  Union  and  the 
Commonwealth  is  also  required,  "We'll 
register  out  of  state  men  as  living  at  the 
college,"   said   Captain    Mears. 

S-Ycar  Pcriml 

"The  only  trouble  1  see  is  the  fact  that 
the  enlistment  period  is  three  years  ami 
the  ("jiiard  won't  be  demobilized  until 
after  the  War.  That  will  recpiire  careful 
consideration  before  enlistment,"  said 
Lieutenant  Bullock.  Transfers  to  other 
branches  of  the  armed  services  are  a 
distinct    p.?ssibility. 

"Well,"  concluded  Captain  Mears,  "you 
can  (|Uote  me  as  saying  that  we've  got  the 
best  ecpupment  for  training  and  we've 
got ,  some  ex-service  men  down  here  to 
instruct.  Any  Williams  man  who  wants 
to  sign  up  will  be  welcome."

Davis'  147  last  fall,  six  scores  were 
bunched  under  160  and  another  three  men 
scored  at  least  one  round  in  the  seventy 
bracket.  Bob  McKee  was  exempt  from 
qualifying  as  defending  champion.

Production  Council 

Organization  to  Promote 
College,  Town  Interest, 
Has   4   Working   Groups 

In  accordance  with  the  efTort  to  create 
greater  centralization,  stabilizing,  and 
backing  for  dramatics  on  the  Williams 
campus  and  in  the  community  at  large. 
Max  Flowers,  director  of  the  A.  M.  T., 
last  weekend  announced  the  establishment 
of  an  Adams  Memorial  Theatre  Production 
Council. 

Selects,  Produces  Plays 

Organized  in  four  working  groups,  the 
Council's  function  will  be  to  .select  and 
produce  Council  pla\s;  to  produce,  or 
collaborate  in  producini;,  plays  that  would 
otherwise  lack  adequate  sponsorship;  to 
to  collaborate,  if  dcMred,  with  existing 
production  units;  to  make  suitable  recog- 
nitions of  outstanding  work  in  the 
A.  M.  T.;  and  to  sponsor  imported 
dramatic  events. 

Since  the  summer  production  schedule 
of  the  A.  M.  T.  is  already  lilled,  the  next 
few  months  for  the  Council  will  be 
occupied  with  organization  details  rather 
than  active  production  work. 

The  first  group,  acting  and  directing, 
has  as  its  permanent  chairman  Mr. 
Flowers.  Working  with  him  are,  Mrs. 
Robert  Sprague,  member  representing

Record  publicity. 

Finally  there  is  the  technical  production 
group  under  the  permanent  chairmanship 
of  Oren  Parker,  technical  director  of  the 
A.  M.  T.  Robert  W.  Mist  '44  is  meinber 
in  charge  of  light  and  sound  while  John  M. 
Spencer  '44  has  charge  of  seener>'  and 
properties. 

Thr  .-K.  M.  T.  Production  Council  is 
organi/cd  on  a  permanent  basis  and  does 
not  supersede  any  previousK  established 
dramatic  organization. 

Orchestra  Presents 
Second  Recital,  Aug.  3 

A  larger,  much-improved  Williams  Col- 
lege Orchestra  will  present  its  second 
concert  under  its  own  auspices  at  8  p.m., 
August  3,  in  Chapin  Hall.  Recently 
recognized  by  the  Student  Activities 
Council,  the  orchestra  has  nearly  doubled 
the  number  of  instrumentalists  that  play- 
ed in  collaboration  with  Marco  Millions 
ami  performed  again  later  in  the  si)rlng  of 
1941. 

Students,  faculty,  townspeoiile  and 
residents  of  North  Adams  comprise  the 
25-piece  organization,  playing  under  the 
direction  of  Joaquin  Nin-Culmell,  assistant 
professor  of  music.  Tickets  will  be  dis- 
tributed through  ThoiTipson  Concert  Series

WMS  Broadcasts 
Soft-Ball  Contests 

Reception  of  Program 
by  Undergraduates  Will 
Decide    Its    Permanency 

The  soft-ball  game  last  Wednesday,  in 
which  the  faculty  squad  defeated  the  Phi 
Sigma  Kappas,  was  the  first  of  a  series  of 
such  soft-ball  games  to  be  broadcast  by 
W.  M.  S.,  according  to  Robert  W.  Hinman 
'43.  president  of  the  college  network. 

Whether  these  broadcasts  will  hold  a 
permanent  position  among  the  station's 
programs  will  depend  upon  the  response 
with  which  they  are  greeted  by  the  stti- 
dents,  Hinman  added.  If  these  broad- 
cases  are  enthusiastically  recei\-ed, 
W.  M.  S.  will  probably  announce  at  least 
two  intra-mural  games  a  week,  he  .said. 
Limited  Broadcasting  Scope 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  station  has 
not  yet  been  able  to  obtain  the  e(iuii)ment 
necessary  for  broadcasting  any  games  held 
on  Cole  Field,  the  games  announced  will 
be  limited  to  those  played  on  the  lah 
cainpus.  This  means  that  for  the  lime 
being,  W.  M.  S.  will  broadcast  only 
faculty  games  or  matches  between  the 
highest-ranking  fraternity  tjams. 
Announced  In  'Adviser' 

Hinman  revealed  that  it  was  first  de 
cided  to  announce  these  intramural 
games  at  one  of  the  station's  weekly 
Executive  Meetings  last  May.  He  de- 
clared that  whenever  a  game  would  be 
broadcast,  notice  would  first  be  given  in 
the  Ath'iscr. 

In  addition  to  these  soft-ball  contests, 
another  new  program  will  be  tried  out  by 
W.  M.  S.  Entitled  "Meet  The  Under- 
graduate", this  program  will  be  a  fifteen 
minute  version  of  \'ox  Pop.  Three 
students  will  be  informally  interviewed  on 
Spring  Street  by  the  master-of-ceremonies 
Edwin  (lasperini  '4.S,  e\'ery  Monday 
evening  between  9:00  and  9;1,S. 

'Meet  the  Undergraduate' 

After  chatting  two  or  three  minutes 
with  these  students,  Gasperini  will  ask 
each  one  of  them  to  name  his  favorite 
popular  tune.  This  record  will  then  be 
played  by  the  control-operator  in  the 
studio  on  the  fourth  floor  of  Jesup  Hall. 
"Meet  The  Undergraduate"  will  take  the 
place  of  the  old  "Mike's  Melodies" 
program,  Hinman  stated. 

Hinman  also  spoke  of  the  great  help 
that  Alan  E.  Eurich  '45,  founder  of 
W.  M.  S.,  lias  been  in  the  running  of  the 
network.  .'Mthough  Eurich  formerly  con- 
centrated on  the  technical  end  of  the 
station  when  in  college  two  years  ago, 
Hinman  said  that  he  was  now  working  in 
the  production  department  and  was  in 
charge  of  the  weekly  radio  play. 

The  last  competition  oi)en  to  sopho- 
mores for  both  the  business  ami  pioduction 
departments  of  W.  M.  S.  will  begin  some- 
time  next    week.    Hinman    declared.

CO.  Camp  on  N.W.Hill 
Holds  Four  Members 

Unknown  to  most  residents  of  Williams- 
town  a  small  c.imp  for  conscientious  ob- 
jectors on  detached  duty  hits  been  in 
operation  here  since  early  May.  The 
four  men  constituting  the  camp  have  been 
living  in  an  isolateil  farmhouse  on  North- 
west Hill,  while  working  at  the  U.  S.  ex- 
perimental forest  operated  by  the  Fed- 
eral Department  of  Agriculture. 

All  of  the  objectors,  former  holders  of 
good  positions  in  civilian  life,  nosv  work 
from  8:00  p.m.  to  .S:00  p.m.  for  the 
nominal  pay  of  $2., SO  a  month.  Two  of 
the  men  have  received  m:isters  degrees 
from  Cornell  University.  Oiu'  studied 
ichthyology  and  the  other  earned  his 
degree  in  pomology.  One  man  was  a 
truck  gardener  in  Maryland,  and  the 
fourth  is  a  farmer's  son  from  Ohio. 

Often  the  men  work  overtime  without 
compensation,  stated  Harold  E.  Ford, 
the  resident  supervisor  of  the  experimental 
forest.  The  four  men  do  the  work  of  10 
CCC  boys  and  are  more  willing  workers, 
he  claimed.  "They  don't  seem  to  care 
how  long  they  work,"  he  added.  The 
men  help  with  the  growitig  of  pines, 
poplars  and  other  trees,  ;is  well  as  pump- 
ing nutrients  into  the  soil  and  similar 
experiments. 

Allowed  the  freedom  of  any  other  gov- 
ernment workers,  the  objectors  cook  their 
own  food  and  culti\';ite  their  own  garrien. 
although  one  of  them  has  a  car,  they  do 
not  travel  frec|uenily  and  seldom  go  be- 
yond North  .'\daiiis.  Occasionally  they 
express  their  \iews  in  long  discussions 
with  Superxisor  Ford,  but  they  never  give 
their  opinions  to  others,  coming  in  contact 
vvith   \ery  few    |)ersons   in    Williamstown. 

All  four  of  the  men  are  former  members 
of  other  camps  for  con.seientious  objectors. 
Two  came  from  a  camp  in  North  Carolina, 
one  from  Ashburnham,  near  Fitchburg, 
and  the  other  was  formerly  a  member  of  a 
camp  in  Cooperstown.  N.  V.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  JULY  24,  1942 


BASEBALL 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Bowman,  filling  the  Imsl-s.  John  Uriiige- 
water,  who  till  then  had  h.ul  a  perfect 
day  at  bat,  failed  in  the  clutch,  fanning. 
Then  the  fireworks  staned.  The  thir<l 
baseman  hobbled  Captain  Hill  Schmidt's 
grounder,  allowing  Dolan  to  counter.  A 
scratch  by  (nnwier  Hayes,  a  pair  of  hits 
to  right  by  Al  Ueilly  and  Holt  Bangs,  and 
an  outfield  error  put  Williams  within  two 
runs  of  the  Indians.  Hut  Dolan  brought 
the  rally  to  a  sudden  close  when  he  slashed 
a  grounder  at  the  third  baseman  for  the 
final  out,  leaving  Reilly  and  Bangs 
stranded  on  first  and  second. 

KridKCwiiter  Gets  Triiilc 
The  Indians  wasted  little  time  in  taking 
the  lead,  picking  up  two  unearned  runs  in 
the  first.  But  Williams  came  right  back 
in  its  half  of  the  canto.  Ford  singled 
to  right,  and  went  to  third  as  Donovan 
hit  through  the  shortstop's  legs.  Bridge- 
water  then  lashed  one  of  Lenny  Fried- 
man's offerings  into  tleep  left  center  field 
for  a  triple  and  he  completed  the  circuit 
when  the  relay  went  astray. 
Top  Greylock  A.  C 
Dartmouth  tied  the  score  in  the  second 
on  an  error  and  then  put  on  their  winning 
barrage  in  the  fourth.  Four  safeties,  two 
walks,  and  a  pair  of  errors  spelled  defeat 
for  the  Purple. 

Wednesday  in  a  twilight  encounter 
Williams  defeated  the  Creylock  A.C.,  5-4. 
in  ten  innings.  With  two  out  in  the  last 
of  the  tenth  Schmidt  walked,  stole  second, 
and  came  home  on  Hayes'  sharp  smash 
into  right  center  field.  Donovan  hurled 
until  he  was  relieved  in  the  seventh  by  Al 
Swain,  who  receives  credit  for  the  win.

RUBBER 


(Continued  from  page  1) 

The  material  salvageti  in  this  recent 
drive  is  being  stored  temporarily  at  filling 
station  tank  yards  in  Pittslield.  All 
future  contributions  of  scrap  rubber 
should  be  sold  to  the  junk  shops,  not 
Idling  stations. 

Before  the  President's  program  was 
announci'd  live  hundred  pounds  of  rubber 
and  metal  were  collected  at  the  box  office 
of  the  Walden  theater.  Calvin  King, 
owner  of  the  theater,  cooperated  with  the 
Williamstown  Welfare  Association  b\' 
ruiminga  special  movie  program  for  which 
the  admission  price  was  a  donation  of 
scrap  rubber  or  metal. 

The  following  lilling  stations  partici- 
pated in  the  recent  drive:  Bacon's,  Bass's, 
Dunlin's,  Grundy's,  Moore's,  Murphy's, 
Sweet's,  and  Taylor's. 

Thiise  responsible  for  the  mechanics  of 
the  salvage  program  include  committee 
members:  Gordon  J.  Bullett,  Nelscm  W. 
Dolan;  F'rancis  Grant,  Superintendent  of 
.Schools;  Calvin  King,  Dr.  Richard 
Leonard  of  the  local  Boy  Scout  Council 
Kalph  Mason,  Mrs.  Charles  P.  Stocking, 
and  Ned  Waklen,  director  of  the  Hoys'

Defense  Organized 
For  CPX  Practices 

Legion  Is  Cooperating 
in  National  Collection 
Drive    for    Old    Records 

Continuing  its  co-operation  with  the 
Williamstown  Committee  of  Public  Safot>' 
and  the  American  Legion,  the  College 
Defense  committee  is  working  on  plans 
f.^r  the  CPX  war  games  and  the  national 
phonograph  record  collection  drive. 

The  CPX  war-games  were  postponeil 
on  orders  from  State  Civilian  Defense 
authorities,  and  will  take  place  probably 
in  the  first  week  of  August.  Suggestions 
already  made  to  the  A.R.P.  post-wardens 
and  further  instructions  will  be  published 
later  and  broadcast  by  WMS. 
Wardens  on   Alerl 

Since  all  the  problems  for  local  offense 
forces  are  secret  and  sent  out  from  head- 
quarters, it  is  impossible  to  tell  what  the 
college  personnel  will  be  called  upon  to  do. 
During  the  CPX  period  all  wardens  should 
wear  their  arm-bands  and  be  on  the  alert. 

At  the  start  of  tha  CPX  period  A.R.P. 
messengers  should  report  to  the  district 
warden  on  duty  in  Hopkins  Hall.  Arrange- 
ments are  being  perfected  for  a  system  of 
liaison  ,vith  various  parts  of  the  college 
community. 

Records  Gulled  For 

Broken,  cracked,  or  discarded  records 
are  wanted  by  the  American  Legion  to 
secure  the  material  needed  to  jiroduce 
records  for  the  U.S.O.  recreation  centers 
among  the  armed  forces.  With  raw  ma- 
terials cut  off  by  the  war  such  a  collection 
is  neces.sary  to  meet  the  demand. 

Room-to-room  collections  have  been 
organized,  and  letters  reiiiiestiiig  co-opera- 
tion have  been  sent  to  the  heads  of  the 
social  groups.  An  additional  box  for  the 
de|)osit  of  records  has  been  ], laced  at  the 
head  of  Spring  St.  •     • 


1945  'Gul'  Competition 
For  Editorial  Board 
To  Begin  Wednesday 


The  second  and  final  sophomore  com- 
petition for  the  Gul  Editorial  Hoard  will 
get  under  way  next  Wednesday,  July  29, 
in  the  Gul  office  in  Jesuj:  Hall,  and  will 
last  for  five  weeks. 

Because  of  resignations  from  college, 
oidy  two  members  of  the  present  sopho- 
more class  remain  on  the  Board,  leaving 
all  positions  on  the  next  year's  book  wide 
open. 

At  the  conclusion  of  this  competition 
all  board  members  will  compete  for  ihe 
four  major  editorial  positions:  Editor, 
Managing  Editor,  Senior  Associate  Editor, 
and  Assignment  Editor.  Final  results 
will  be  announced  by  Thanksgiving,  and 
this  board  will  |>ublish  the  Gul  in  their 
junior  year. 

Not  only  will  the  Cui  commemorate  the 
150th  Anniversary  of  Williams  in  a  special 
section,  but  its  editors  also  hope  to 
portray  Williams'  part  in  the  war.  They 
expect  to  utilize  an  incri-ascd  number  of 
pictures  and  candids,  and  will  stress  an 
informality  of  treatment  which  it  is  hoped 
will  represent  accurately  the  Williams  of 
today.

during  the  week  for  varying  destinations  in 
the  mountains  around  the  campus.  Ac- 
cording to  Leonard  C.  Thompson  '43, 
Chairman  of  Trails  and  Cabins,  an  effort 
will  be  made  during  the  next  week  to 
break  trips  into  smaller  and  more  flexible 
groups  than  have  been  leaving  in  the  past. 
Members  of  the  Williams  community

P.  T.  Credit  to  Be  Given 
Student  Farm  Workers 

Two  Days  in  Local  Fields 
to  Equal  Three  in  Gym 

Considering  the  present  farm  labor 
shortage  "really  tragic,"  the  Williams 
Athletic  Department  announced  this  week 
that  sophomores,  juniors,  and  seniors 
working  on  neighboring  farms  would  be 
given  P.T.  credit  for  the  time  put  in. 
Dr.  Edwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  the  de- 
partment, addctl,  however,  that  even 
though  freshmen  were  encouraged  to  help 
if  needed,  they  could  not  be  excused  from 
the  closely  directed  P.  T.  training  for  the 
farm  work. 

Freshmen    Not    Kxenipl 

Though  he  considered  the  outdoor 
manual  labor  "very  healthful  "  Dr.  Locke 
stated  that  under  ordinary  circumstances 
the  wi  iver  of  the  compulsory  athletics 
rule  would  not  be  made.  He  pointed  out 
that  the  skills  of  contact  and  defense  play 
now  considered  so  important  were  es- 
sentially found  only  on  the  athletic  field 
or  in  the  planned  physical  curriculum. 
This  is  the  reason  exemption  has  not  been 
granted  the  freshman  class. 

The  permission  to  turn  in  time  sj^ent  on 
local  farms  as  athletic  credit  will  be  grant- 
ed on  a  monthly  basis,  one  day's  obliga- 
tion being  ftilfilled  for  an  afternoon's 
auxiliary  farming,  and  the  whole  week 
cancelled  if  two  afternoons  are  turned  over 
to  the  local  land  owners  seeking  aid 

The  loss  of  a  number  of  freshman 
volunteers  expected  as  a  result  of  the  "no 
credit"  ruling  will  not  crip|)le  or  slow  the 
college  end  of  the  .student-farmer  agree- 
ment, according  to  Albert  V.  Osterhout 
'06,  who  is  directing  the  project  from 
his  position  as  executive  secretary  of  the 
Student  Aid  committee.  At  present  of 
the  sixty-five  undergraduates  signed  up 
for  work,  onU  twenty-two  are  first  ye.ir 
men .

couple  and  $2.00  per  stag  plus  tax. 

Lighting  arrangements  have  been  sub- 
stituted for  the  drapes  used  in  former 
years,  and  all  other  arrangements  possible 
are  being  prepared  to  keep  the  gymnasium 
cjol  for  the  dancers.  Although  no  definite 
plans  have  yet  been  made,  there  is  a 
possibility  that  the  Octet  will  sing..

ON  THE 

SIDELINES 


One  week  ago  four  Softball  teams  sli;ired 
an  undefeated  status  at  the  top  of  the 
intramural  league,  but  at  the  conclusion 
of  play  this  afternoon,  the  Delta  I'his 
alone  had  yet  to  meet  with  their  initial 
defeat.  The  Chi  Psis  and  Zetes  both  u  ere 
beaten  by  the  Garfield  Club,  whili'  ih(. 
Betes  nose-dived,  taking  three  in  a  row  un 
the  chin,  after  winning  their  first  three. 

Highlighting  the  week  were  two  twelve- 
inning  pitcher's  duels.  In  the  first,  Den- 
ver Williams  bested  Ziggie  Steel,  as  ihe 
D.U.  nine  broke  through  to  score  one  x<m, 
and  beat  the  Betes  2-1  in  the  tweltih. 
Dick  King  pitched  beautiful  ball  for  the 
Zetes  against  the  Garfield  Club  on  Wed- 
nesday, only  to  have  his  infield  fall  apitrt 
after  an  even  dozen  frames.  Norni 
Arnstein  hurled  for  the  Club,  and  although 
he  gave  up  thirteen  hits,  including  three 
in  the  first-inning,  he  was  untcmchable 
in  the  clutches.  Rod  LaBombard  blasted 
a  fourth-inning  homer,  which  was  e(|ual- 
ized  by  Brad  Cook's  single  in  the  last  of 
the  sixth.  Then  the  Club  pu.shed  across 
two  markers  to  win  3-1. 

On  Tuesday  the  A.D.'s  eked  out  :in 
eight-inning  win  over  the  Garfield  Chih 
when  pitcher  Tom  Hoover  stepped  lo 
the  plate  with  two  out,  and  crashed  a 
game-winning  single.  The  D.  Phis  wire 
on  the  brink  of  their  first  defeat  yester(la\ , 
when  with  two  out,  and  the  bases  loaded, 
freshman  Don  Stone  lashed  out  a  grass- 
cutter  that  went  through  the  Bete  out- 
field, to  wipe  out  a  2-0  deficit,  to  win  4-2. 

Intrasquad  rivalry  on  the  freshman 
baseball  team  reached  fever  pitch  this 
week  as  team  A,  captained  by  Phil  Cady, 
cemented  its  position  in  first  place  by 
whipping  Ted  Perry's  C  team,  4-2.  Bill 
Wenzel's  triple  featured  a  first-inning, 
three-run  onslaught.  A  has  won  three 
games  and  U)st  one,  while  Perry's  squad 
and  team  C,  led  by  Bill  Shellenbergcr, 
have  one  victory  and  two  U)sses.  Four 
members  of  the  squad,  Al  Dulcan,  Pal 
Higgins,  Bernie  LeSage,  and  Jim  Young 
have  been  working  out  with  Charlie 
Caldwell's  varsity.

Tops  Amherst,  6-3 

5-Run  Third  Inning  Whips 
Sabrinas;  Bridgewater 
Drives    in   Three   Tallies 

liy  Dave  Thurston  '44 

Comini;  to  life  in  the  third  inning  with 
a  five-run  onslaught,  Williams'  basi'hall 
combine  took  the  nifasurr  of  Amherst, 
6-3,  Saturday  on  Pratt  Kield  behind  the 
airtight  pitching  t)f  converted  shortstop 
Bill  Donovan.  Tomorrow  at  2:30  p.m. 
on  Weston  Field  the  nine  faces  the  Cone 
Automatic  Machine  Company  team  in  an 
attempt  to  make  it  two  in  a  row  over  the 
stale  semi-pro  champions. 

Donovan  vs.  Smith 

Scattering  seven  hits  over  si.\  innings, 
Donovan  out-pitched  Kollo  Smith,  who 
was  seeking  his  third  win  over  the  l'ur])le 
in  as  many  years.  A  \ear  ago  he  defeated 
Ed  Spaulding,  3-2,  in  a  ten-inning  pitching 
duel  and  again  this  spring  he  won  out 
over  Satch  Lare,  8-3.  Hut  it  was  a  dif- 
ferent story  Saturday.  Until  he  gave 
way  for  a  pinch  hitter  in  the  fourth,  tlv 
Ephs  had  touched  him  for  all  of  their 
eight  hits  and  six  runs. 

Big  Williams  Inning 

Amherst  took  a  brief  lead  in  the  bottom 
of  the  first  inning  when  Ed  James  walked 
and  Jack  Peck  tripled  him  home.  But  in 
the  third  Williams  pounded  five  runs  across 
the  plate,  adding  another  in  the  next  cant 
for  good  measure.  Successive  singles  by 
Fran  Dolan  and  Bob  Kittredge,  a  John 
Bridgewater  double,  and  another  trio  of 
bingles  olT  the  bats  of  Captain  BillSchmidt , 
Gunnar  Hayes,  and  Dick  Emery  put  the 
game  on  ice. 

In  the  fourth  Kittredge  walked,  took 
second  on  a  fielder's  choice,  and  conipleted 
the  circuit  on  Bridgewater's  sharp  single 
to  left.  This  was  the  third  run  in  tw(j 
frames  that  Bridgewater  drove  in.  The 
Purple  were  unable  to  advance  a  runner 
beyond  .second  base  after  that,  as  relief 
pitcher  Captain  Jack  Lally  held  them  hit 
less,  but  the  damage  had  already  becTi 
done.

'Trial  by  Jury*  Staging 
Scheduled  for  Sept.  18 

•Fall  of  the  City',  One-Act 
Play,     is     also     Planned 

Trial  by  Jury,  the  Gilbert  and  Sullivan 
operetta  first  produced  in  London  in 
1875,  is  to  be  presented  on  the  main  stage 
of  the  Adams  Memorial  Pheatre  Friday, 
September  18.  In  charge  of  the  singing 
cast  are  Director  of  Music  Robert  G. 
Barrow  and  Charles  L.  Safiford,  directoi 
of  music,  emeritus. 

Joaquin  Nin-Culmell,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  music,  will  direct  a  group  from 
the  college  orchestra,  and  Max  Flowers, 
director  of  the  A.  M.  T.,  will  stage  the 
production,  and  will  produce  on  the  same 
program  an  Art  of  the  Theatre  one-act 
play,  Archibald  MacLeish's  Fall  of  the 
City. 

Heenehan  '46  in  Lead 

The  setting  of  Trial  by  Jury  is  a  court  of 
justice,  in  which  a  breach  of  promise  case 
proceeds  amusingly  and  tunefully  to  a 
typically  Gilbcrtian  conclusion.  The 
important  role  of  the  Judge  will  be  taken 
by  Paul  Heenehan  '46,  and  that  of  the 
Plaintiff  by  Miss  Evelyn  Haun  of  Adams. 
Her  Counsel  will  be  George  D.  Lawrence 
'43,  while  Associate  Professor  S.  Lane 
Faison,  Jr.  holds  the  part  of  the  Defendant. 
Munro  H.  Steel  '45  plays  Foreman  of  the 
Jury,  and  William  E.  Lane  '43  is  the  busily 
singing  Usher.  The  Misses  Evelyn 
Smith  and  Vera  Battey  of  North  Adams, 
and  Miss  Barbara  Holt  of  Williamstown, 
have  roles  as  bridesmaids. 

A  singing  jury  of  eleven  voices  has  been 
picked  from  the  members  of  the  Glee  Club; 
a  seventccn-voicc  chorus  made  of  singers 
trained  in  the  Bach  Choir  will  also  parti- 
cipate in  the  production. 


Buell  Will  Oppose  Rep.  Treadway 
In  First  District  G.O.P.  Campaign 

Williamstown  Factions  Prepare  For  Bitter 
Liberal  -  -  Old  Guard  Republican  Primary 


/ly  George  Y.  Nehrhas  '44 
Rival  Republican  factions  in  Williams- 
town, fourteenth  largest  town  in  a  First 
Massachusetts  District  where  l<e|)ul)lican 
nomination  virtually  means  the  con- 
gressional seat,  are  preparing  f(ir  what  may 
be  one  of  the  most  bitterly  contested 
political  campaigns  in  recent  history.  In 
early  July  WiUkie-ite  Raymond  I.,  liuell 
challenged  Allen  T.  Treadwa)',  old  guard 
representative  of  twenty-nine  years  stand- 
ing, for  September's  Republican  primary- 
nomination. 

Statement  by  'Time' 
" — The  histories  of  Messrs.  Buell  and 
Treadway,  as  well  as  that  of  the  llrst 
Massachusetts  District  will  be  determinc-d 
in  a  ding-dong  scramble  in  the  next  nine 
weeks,"  said  'lime  magazine.  "Last  wrck 
Amateur  I\)litico  Buell  seemed  to  have  ai 
least  a  fifty-lifty  chance." 

Buell,  announcing  his  candidacy,  blaslcd 
party  politics  in  war-time  in  a  statenuiu 
lij  Time,  and  emphasized  that  "Congress 
)nust  be  revitalized  and  strengthened. 
Many  voters  fear  that  the  Republican 
Parly  is  .slowly  dying,"  he  pointed  oul. 
"This  argument  cannot  be  met  by  the 
passage  of  resolutions.     It  can  be  met  by  , 


sending  to  Congress  a  number  of  younger 

and  more  alert  Republicans,  with  clear-cut 

convictions  on  world  and  social  problems." 

Has  Conservative  Record 

"Banker,  insurance  company  director, 
hotel  owner,  'Preadwax-  has  been  an  able 
peace-time  servant  of  his  c<mBtituents," 
said  Time,  "has  well  served  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  and  the  National  Association 
of  Manufacturers  as  an  unofficial  watchdog 
of  tax  legislation."  An  old-line  Republi- 
can, Treadway's  record  has  been  one  of 
conservatism. 

He  opposed  arming  Guam  Naval  Base, 
the  revision  of  the  arnis  embargo,  neutral- 
ity revision,  military  airplane  appro- 
priation, lend-lease,  draft  extension  and 
lifting  the  belligerent  /ones,  but  conceded

Baxter  In  England 
After  Secret  Trip 

College  Trustees  Extend 
Leave;  Nature  of  Task 
Shrouded  in  Censorship 

In  England  after  a  secret  trans-Atlantic 
crossing  by  air  is  President  James  P. 
Baxter,  ,1rd,  Deputy  Coordinator  for  the 
United  States  Office  of  -Strategic  Ser\-iccs. 
In  order  that  he  may  h.ivo  sufficient  time 
to  accomjilish  his  mission  in  the  Hritish 
capital,  expected  to  take  several  weeks, 
the  trustees  of  the  ollege  have  v^ted  to 
extend  Dr.  Baxter's  leave  of  absence  until 
October  11,  when  he  will  return  to  Wil- 
liams to  assume  his  presidential  duties  on 
a  live  day  weekly  basis. 

Left  Liisl  Werk 

Dr.Baxter  left  in  the  midilleof  last  week, 
and  presumably  will  establish  contact 
with  the  Psychological  Warfare  Organi- 
zation of  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff,  possibly 
through  the  recently  appointed  United 
States  Minister  William  Phillips,  who  was 
attached  to  the  United  .States  Embassy  in 
London  two  weeks  ago.  He  may  confer 
with  Brenda  Bracken,  who  holds  a  iMsition 
in  the  British  government  similar  to  the 
one  occupied  by  Ur.  Baxter  at  Washington. 

Trip  Dniler  CfiinorHhip 

'Phe  exact  nature  of  Dr.  Baxter's 
assignment  cannot  he  discussed  in  detail, 
due  to  censorship  regulations,  but  it  may 
be  governed  by  President  Roosevelt's 
military  order  of  June  \i,  1942,  which 
stated  that  the  Office  of  Strategic  Services, 
under  Colonel  William  J.  Donovan,  was 
authorized  to  "collect  and  analyze  such 
strategic  information  as  may  be  required 
by  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff,"  and  to  "plan 
and  operate  such  special  services  as  may  be 
directed  by  the  United  States  Joint  Chiefs 
of  Staff."

'The  Army's  At  War'  -  Are  We? 

Wf're  .still  lo.sing  this  war,  and  losing  it  fa.st.  Al'lcr  seven  months 
ol'  liiiniiliating  delcats,  and  with  no  apparent  prospect  of  better  days 
aiiwid,  we're  still  going  to  the  movies  when  we  shonld  have  rummaged 
for  tiiat  |)iece  of  rubber  "that  wouldn't  have  made  any  difference  anyway": 
kicking  because  wie  have  to  walk  to  work  or  stand  in  trolley  cars;  trying  to 
buy  bootleg  tires;l)eggiiig  filliiig-slatioii  operators  for  gas  without  punches; 
lei  ting  Congress  sacrifice  national  welfare  for  minority  interests.  "The 
Army's  at  war  —  I  know,"  a  former  Williams  student  now  training  in 
\'irginia  describes  the  public  spirit.      "Whether  America  is,  I'm  not  .sure." 

While  the  public  clamors  for  a  second  front,  its  thinking  is  still 
oiiiiilaled  around  defen.se.  The  Williatnstown  Post  Office  has  a  "De- 
fense Window";  the  victrola  record  recei)lacle  on  Spring  Street  is  "For 
delVii.se";  .\dmiral  l.eahy  hopes  his  new  po.st  will  hclj)  in  America's 
"defense."  When  everyone  knows  that  only  offense  will  win  the  war, 
when  everyone  knows  the  United  Nations  must  .soon  open  a  .second  front 
ill  Knrope,  imisl  the  Munich  mentality  coiiliniie  to  iilagiie  American 
Ihoiighi:'' 

Vihul's  Wrong —  Here 

We  at  Williams  haven't  done  well  by  this  war. 

We,  with  college  students  everywhere,  have  had  the  responsibility 
of  proving  onr  institution's  right  to  live  in  a  world  at  war.  We  have 
hardly  kept  thai  responsibility  when  a  resident  of  Williamstown  can 
honestly  think:  "Here  at  Williams  there  has  been  no  effort  to  .sell  any 
War  Boiiils  what.soever."  We  have  hardly  kept  that  resixinsibilily  when 
we  can  jiay  hundreds  of  dollars  for  liou.sei)arty  bands  alone,  but  haven't 
paid  on  the  line  for  that  twenty-five  cent  War  Stamp  we've  been  meaning 
to  buy  since  June.  Nor  have  we  ke])t  that  responsibility  when  w<'  regard 
menil)ersliip  in  a  reserve  as  an  ()i)porluiiity  to  oat,  drink,  and  be  merry, 
rather  than  as  an  opportunity  to  train  menially  and  physically  for  the 
fight  ahead. 

One  college  jiajHT  editorialized  July  2,'5:  "Then  people  started  to  kill 
eac-h  other  across  llie  ocean,  iuid  the  college  had  to  si)ee(l  up  its  program  .so 
that  its  boys  could  have  the  honor  of  being  killed  earlier."  There  will  he 
Nazis  goo.se-stepfiiiig  in  Wa.shington  if  that's  an  example  of  the  American 
l>eo])le's  war  spirit.  ,\nother  universily  is  capitalizing  on  the  war  effort 
to  run  a  piibheily  campaign.  There,  in  mock  patriotism,  freshmen  are 
being  steamrollered  into  various  branches  of  the  armed  services  as  .soon 
as  lliey  eiiler,  and,  to  quote  another  college  editor,  "The  confu.scd  reserv- 
ist will  find  himself  with  two  years  of  liai'd-eariied  deferment  in  which  lo 
decide  which  branch  of  the  service  he  should  have  joined." 
What  We  (an  Do  About  II 

There  isn't  a  great  deal  Williams  men  can  do  to  correct  what's  wrong 
with  the  American  war  spirit,  biil  we  can  correct  what's  wrong  here. 
The.se  are  just  a  few  of  the  things  which  represent  the  minimum  we  can 
do  if  we  are  to  deserve  victory: 

1)  The  "atrocities"  of  Hell  Week  can  be  completely  aboli.shed  by 
.swift  Undergraduate  Council  action.  Fraternity  induction  proceedings 
should  be  restricted  to  formal  initiation  and  the  memorizing  of  pertinent 
hou.se  data.  Fk'onomy  of  time  and  money,  the  necessity  for  emphasizing 
.scholarship  over  ridiculous  slimts,  the  obligation  to  face  present  events 
.seriously  and  rationally  all  make  the  abolishment  of  the  old  Hell  Week 
ab.sohitely  es.sential. 

2)  The  Uiulergraduate  Conneil  can  take  immediate  steps  to  make 
certain  that  Williams  will  iiol  have  another  formal  hou.separty  until 
.\mcriean  troops  enter  Herliii.  Inexpensive  (lances,  supplied  with 
recorded  music,  are  sufficient  in  wartiine. 

:5)  College  organizations  like  the  Adelphic  Union,  France  I<"orever, 
llu.ssian  War  Relief,  the  Williams  Lecture  ('ommittee,  etc.,  can  combine 
their  forces  to  jirovide  the  college  once  each  week  with  a  program  of 
.sjieakers  on  war  conduct  and  aims.  Messrs.  Lcrner  and  Schuman  arc 
among  the  best,  but  are  certainly  not  the  only  excellent  speakers  on  the 
faculty.  Williams  physici.sts,  geologists,  economists,  historians,  etc., 
surely  have  vital  information  and  oijiiiions  which  will  help  undergraduates 
prepare  their  thinking  for  a  warring  and  post-war  world. 

I)  Every  Williams  man  can  buy  regularly  each  week  a  certain 
amount  of  war  stamps.  One  house  treasurer  is  already  securing  pledges 
from  fellow  members  to  purcha.se  some  stamps  each  week.  If  a  man  feels 
he  cannot  afford  this,  let  him  keep  a  cash  account  for  a  week  and  see  how 
many  es.sential  expenditures  he  really  has. 

.'})  Every  individual  can  practice  strictest  economy  for  the  duration. 
Profit-making  organizations  .should  follow  the  News  Bureau's  lead  and 
allocate  profits  in  the  form  of  war  stamps  to  those  men  who  do  not  have  a 
pressing  need  for  cash. 

There's  nothing  particularly  original  or  dramatic  in  these  .suggestions. 
Editorializing  won't  win  the  war.  All  the  editorialist  can  do  is  to  carry 
on  the  dreary  business  of  pointing  out  what  everyone  should  know  by 
now:  that  if  we  don't  act,  and  act  now,  we  will  be  lost.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  JULY  151.  1942 


Williams  Has  Lost  'Joe  College'  Atmosphere, 
Claims  Cabe  Prindle,  'Sage  of  Spring  Street' 


by  OhiVF.v.  J.  Kei.i.er  '45 

"TIk'  colk'ge  lias  clinn^rcd ;  it's  noi.  near 
the  |)lac-o  it  used  tu  bo,"  Calx-  IViiullc,  tin- 
patriarch  of  SjjriiiK  Strivt  sigliod  wistfully, 
upon  Ix-ini;  asked  to  compare  tlio  uiuler- 
ijraduates  of  today  witli  tliose  in  coJU'^te 
at  tlie  tiiiu'  of  the  last  war. 

Cabe,  who  has  passed  forty-three  of  his 
sixty-one  years  on  Sprin),'  Street,  and  who 
claims  to  know  the  nami'sof  1500  Williams 
ihnuni,  continued,  "\'ou  don't  see  stu- 
dents around  now  like  you  used  to.  The 
old  fellows  were  a  lot  older  and  nialurer 
iliaii  the  ones  here  now." 

'(JilU-fje  litis  ('.hiiiifseil' 

lie  paused.  "Well,  1  don't  really 
.iippose  that  the  boys,  themselves,  have 
■.hanged  an  awful  lot,  but  it's  the  change 
iliat  has  come  over  the  college."  Cabe 
lurned  to  his  friend,  Howard  Barrett,  for 
t'oidirmation  of  this  st.itenient.  Howard, 
who  has  lived  in  Williamstown  practically 
as  long  as  Cabe,  and  who  has  worked  in 
almost  every  place  on  Spring  Street,  agreed 
cmph.itieally. 

"The  thing  is,"  he  declared,  "that  the 
college  is  a  lot  harder  than  it  used  to  be. 
The  students  don't  have  the  free  time  now 
that  they  once  did.  Hack  in  the  '20's,  a 
smart  guy  conid  go  through  this  place 
without  cracking  a  book.  N'ou'il  never 
have  found  a  light  on  in  a  dormitory  afler 
ten  p.  m.  Where  were  they?  Why.  over 
in  North  Adams,  most  of  'em." 

Spriiifs  Slr«'<'l  llenclu'H 

"An<l  all  over  Spring  Street,"  Cabe 
liroke  in.  "Iwery  night  the  street  used  to 
be  crowded  with  students.  There  was 
never  an  empty  seat  on  the  benches  in 
front  of  my  place.  'I'lie  Spring  Street 
benches  they  were  called,  and  no  freshmen 
were  allowed  to  sit  on  them.  And  those 
bowling  allies  I  ran  back  in  '17  were 
packed  every  night.  I  can  remember 
the  pin-boys  complaining,  'Ain't  >'ou 
students  ever  going  to  go  home?'  lint  now. 
hardly  any  of  the  students  ever  bowl  or 
play  pool  any  more.  They're  in  their 
rooms  all  the  time  now." 

Cabe  scratched  his  head  thoughtfully 
"1  guess  it  was  around  lO.^.S,  wasn't  il, 
Howard,  that   the  college  began  to  clamp

down?  T'hey  started  handing  out  all  these 
comijrehcnsives  and  hour  exams  about 
then.  Kven  now,  though,  it  seems  funny 
to  see  students  studying  on  Sunday  night." 

"Yes,"  Howard  agreed,  "when  Tyler 
Dennett  became  president,  thijigs  began 
to  ehauge.  Nobody  had  any  time  to  loaf 
around.  It's  kind  of  too  bad,  too.  because 
the  boys  don't  have  the  Siime  interest  in 
athletics  that  they  used  to.  Kvery  game 
used  to  be  janoned  then,  and  if  anyone 
didn't  go,  he  was  considered  a  queer  duck." 
S|HH;iul  Trains  to  <;umi's 

"The  college  used  to  run  special  trains 
for  the  games  |)layed  away  from  home. 
What's  more,  both  the  students  and  the 
townspeople  were  hero-worshippers  in 
those  days.  \ou  never  saw  a  W  on  a 
sweater  turned  inside-cjul  then.  They 
used  to  wear  big  block  W's  right  on  their 
chests.  And  if  they  hadn't,  the  students 
and  local  people  would  have  resented  it." 

"What  the  college  has  lost,"  Cabe 
interrupted,  "is  some  of  its  old  atmos- 
phere. The  boys  were  really  collegiate 
then.  Know  what  I  mean?  Joe  College, 
they  were.  Kvery  third  nvin  in  the  college 
sported  one  of  those  big  raccoon  coat.s.  and 
I  remember  once  when  A.  M.  Uoseidnirg 
came  up  here  one  fall,  and  sold  eiglu\' 
seventy-live  dollar  suits  in  two  (hiys.  NDw 
they  wear  overalls." 

'TliiiiKlcr-iiiiifr'  Kurruge 

".'\nd  how  they  used  to  let  loose  wluii 
spring  rolled  around!"  Howard  resumed, 
as  Cabe  turned  to  dip  two  chocohUe  cones 
into  the  dish  of  sprills.  "They'd  wreck  ;i 
dormitory  every  year,  and  th,-  codet'e 
inthorities  more  or  less  expected  it.  Il 
■.v  isn't  so  long  ago  that  they  would  tie  tin 
old  'thunder-mugs'  (toilet-pots)  to  tlr 
roof  iif  ICast  College,  and  k't  Hy  at  'em  with 

slliil  i;uns." 

Il  spile  of  this  somewhat  nostalgic 
renii'iiscing,  however,  both  Cabe  and 
How, nil  agreed  that  such  activities  would 
seem  .disurd  :iow.  "The  boys  are  a  Icjl 
(|uieter,"  Howard  admitted,  "but  the\ 
are  also  a  lot  smarter  and  better  behaved 
than  the  old  fellows.  The  old  grad.i  used 
to  havi'  a  lot  fun,  but  all  that's  changed 
iu)w.  Colleges  arc  changing  with  the 
world,  and  all  the  old  horse-pl.iy  is  on  its 
way  out.

Call  From  President  Roosevelt

amcnig    those    to    express   sympathy;    he 
telephoned   Ensign   \'an   Cott's  wife  and 
m!)thjr  while  they  were  at  Williamstowii 
Wednesday. 

While  in  Williams,  Van  Cott  belonged 
to  the  Chi  Psi  fraternity.  He  was  an 
outstanding  track  man,  and  had  been 
chosen  captain  of  winter  track  for  his 
junior  year.  In  March  of  1Q41,  he  was 
anchor  man  on  the  relay  team,  which  set 
the  unotticial  record  for  the  college  of 
3:23.3  at  a  meet  held  in  Madison  .Square 
Clarden.  In  his  freshman  year,  Van  Cott 
took  third  prize  in  the  pentathlon,  while, 
as  a  sophomore  he  capttired  second  in  the 
Lehman  Cup  Meet.  He  also  playe<l  on 
the  golf  team. 

At  the  Webb  School  in  Clarenront,  Cal., 
where  he  prepared  for  college,  Van  Cott 
also  revealed  his  remarkiible  athletic 
ability.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Webb 
football,  basketball,  and  track  teams,  c  nd 
was  awarded  the  Best  .Athletic  Plaque.

Army  Order  Will  Not 
Influence  Flying  Club 

The  recent  order  of  the  Army  Air  Corps 
prohibiting  non-essential  flying  along  a 
coastal  strip  from  Maine  to  Virginia  (hies 
not  affect  the  activities  of  the  Williams 
Flying  Club,  according  to  a  statemem 
made  by  Charles  (1.  Abbott  '43,  president 
of  the  organization.  Airports  k)cated  in 
the  restricted  area  will  lie  closed  down 
in  the  lU'ar  future,  Abbott  said. 

Although  the  Plying  Club  is  not  in- 
fluenced by  the  new  ruling,  Alibott  es- 
plained  that  college  fliers  will  still  have 
to  follow  a  flight  plan  stating  the  purpose 
of  each  flight.  Pleasure  flying  will  not  be 
permitted,  but  members  may  fly  for 
instruction  or  Civil  Air  Patrol  purposes 
within  a  three  nnle  radius  of  the  Airport. 

Unaffected  by  Ration 

Gasoline  rationing  dues  not  hamper  the 
activities  of  the  club,  Abbott  revealed, 
because  the  oidy  stipulation  is  that  pur- 
chased gas  lie  used  for  airplane,  not  auto 
mobile  consumption. 

Failing  to  get  Army  permission  earlier, 
Abbott  was  not  able  lo  fly  his  Taylorcraft 
cabin  plane  to  Williamstown  froniArmonk, 
N.  Y.  until  last  .Sundax .  The  plane  and 
equipment  will  be  a\ailalile  for  use  this 
weekend,  he  stated. 

John  F.  Place  e\-'43,  former  member  of 
the  Flying  Club,  is  now  working  as  an 
instructor  at  the  Troy,  N.  V.  airport, 
Abbott  said.  He  recei\ed  his  instructor's 
rating  last  weekend  and  gave  his  first 
lesson  that  same  day. 

Lindsay  Upsets  Davis 
To  Reach  Golf  Semis 

Don  Lindsay  provided  the  first  major 
upset  of  the  college  golf  championship 
M<inday,  firing  a  one-under-par  72  to 
w  hip  co-medalist  Pete  I  )avis  3  and  1  and 
enter  the  semi-finals. 

Lindsay  won  the  first  with  a  par,  the 
seventh  with  a  bird,  anil  was  never 
headed,  although  Davis  rallii'd  with  an 
eagle  on  the  ninth  and  a  par  on  10  to 
square  the  match.  Lindsay  went  out  in 
front  to  stay  with  a  birdie  on  12  and  when 
his  (iiiponent  bogexcd  14  and  17  il  was  all 
over. 

Charlie  Heuer,  winner  of  the  Taconic 
Invitation  last  weekend,  advanced  to  the 
third  round  at  the  expense  of  football 
captain  Bill  Courier,  5  and  4.  Heuer 
parred  the  first  and  second  to  go  two  up 
and  stay  in  front  all  the  way,  playing  the 
ft>urteen  holes  in  two  over  regulation 
figures. 

Munro  Steel  earned  the  right  lo  play 
Lindsas'  with  a  3  and  2  win  over  Tom 
Hoover.  The  Fred  Barnes-Hob  McKee 
quarlir-final  feature  was  postponed  until

Politics  in  1928  and  1932. 

No  Wartime  Politics 
In  an  early  appearance  in  Williamstown 
iwo  weeks  ago,  Buell  emphasized  the  role 
Congress  must  play  in  winning  the  war  and 
insuring  a  lasting  peace.  Pointing  lo  the 
need  for  regeneration  of  the  Republican 
Party,  he  affirmed  the  necessils  of  main- 
taining a  strong  minority,  but  again 
warned  against  war-tinu-  polities. 

At  the  Hotel  Wendell  in  Pitlsheld 
Wednesday  evening,  Buell  deplored  the 
lack  of  congressional  debate  on  I  he  conduct 
of  the  war,  and  asserted  thai  while  con- 
structive criticism  has  been  offered  the 
President  through  newspaper  anil  radio 
services,  "they  are  no  substitute  for  an 
alert  and  helpful  Congress." 

Plenty  of  action  is  expected  from  local 
committees  during  the  ne.\t  si.s  weeks. 
Meanwhile,  nearby  newspapers  split  on 
the  issue.  While  the  Berk.shire  Evening 
Eagle  backed  Buell,  the  North  Adams 
Transcript  appeared  to  be  supiiorting

and  assistant  production  niaiuiger,  With- 
1  rell  went  on.  .'\lthough  sophomore  pro- 
duction board  members  may  now  compete 
for  the  secondary  position,  only  the  juniors 
are  as  yet  permitted  to  compete  for  the 
post  of  production  manager. 
Lost  5  Men 

This  move  li\  ihi*  Executive  Council  was 
caused  by  the  departure  from  college  of 
Edward  W.  lilanchfield,  John  N.  DulTield, 
Harold  k.  Holmvard,  Paul  C.  Wells,  and 
Bruce  B.  Winter  '4i,  all  members  of  the 
production  board.  Owing  lo  I  heir  absence, 
it  was  fell  that  the  sophomore  board  mem- 
bers should  at  least  be  alloweii  lo  compete 
for  the  lesser  of  the  two  positions.

T"he  production  manager  also  stated

Members  of  W.C.A. 
Help  Boys'  Club  Camp 

With  members  of  the  Williams  Christian 
Association  acting  as  ccninselors?,  the 
simnner  camp  of  the  Willianistown  Boys' 
Club  completed  its  fourth  .md  last  week 
today  under  the  general  direction  of  the 
Rev.  Dr.  A.  (Irant  Noble. 

The  camp  functioning  every  tifternoon 
five  (lays  a  week,  used  20  W.  C.  A.  mem- 
bers each  week  to  leacli  swinnning,  base- 
ball, and  generally  aid  in  the  management 
of  the  camp. 

Located  on  Northwest  Hill,  the  camp 
has  for  facilities  four  tents,  a  swimming 
pool,  and  cook  sh.ick.  In  former  years 
the  W.  C.  A.  assisted  the  camp  with  an 
occasional  gift  of  money  and  the  help  of  a 
few  members  in  the  suninicr,  but,  if  the 
summer  term  system  continues,  the 
Associatioji  expects  to  maintain  its  present 
policy. 

TACONIC  GOLF 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
In  this  final,  Issler.  rumier-up  in  the 
Metropolitan  Amateur  Cluimpionship  at 
New  ^'ork  for  the  past  two  years,  never 
had  a  chance.  Heuer  won  the  first  two 
holes  in  easy  style  with  a  pair  of  pars. 
Issler  jumped  back  into  the  running 
momentarily  at  the  par  .'  third  where 
llener  was  short  with  Iiis  tee  shut  and 
ehippi'd  too  strong.  Hut  this  was  the 
only  hole  that  the  sophomore  was  to  bogey 
and  for  the  next  eleven  holes  he  was  three 
under  par,  a  stretch  of  golf  that  closed  out 
Issler. 

Ihiniels  Ldses  on  19th 
Heuer  found  difficulty  only  in  the  first 
round  where  he  was  forced  to  go  to  the 
nineteenth  hole  before  disposing  of  Junny 
Daniels,  Dartmouth  sophomore  star.  On 
the  final  hole  both  men  laslvd  long  drives 
down  the  middle  but  1  leuer  hit  the  par  five 
green  in  two,  while  Daniels  pushed  his 
shot  out-of-bounds  to  the  right  of  the 
fairway. 

In  the  semi-finals  Heuer  downed  Ra\ 
Roberts,  4  and  2,  while  IssK'r  defeateil 
Hill  Meaney,  home  club  ace. 

N'eteran  Jim  Hunter,  North  Adams,  set 
a  new  course  record  of  68  to  win  the 
(lualifying  medal  Friday.  He  knocked  in 
eajjle  threes  on  the  ninth  and  the  eigh- 
teenth while  running  up  his  five-under-par 
total.  Issler  was  next  with  72,  while 
Heuer  scored  73.  Three  other  college 
students,  C.olf  Captain  Fred  Barnes,  Pete 
Davis,  and  Bob  Maxfiekl  fired  80  or 
heller  ;uid  made  the  first  sixteen. 

College  (;<ilfers  Shine 

Harnes  bowed  to  Bill  Meaney  in  the 
lirst  round  but  cami'  b.ick  strong  to  sweep 
three  matches  in  the  defeated  eight.  He 
downed  Daniels  on  the  soventoenth  in  the 
final  aft.T  a  see-saw  battle.  Dd\-is  and 
Maxfiekl  bowed  to  Heuer  and  Meaney  in 
the  second  round  of  match  play.  Medali.st 
Hunter  was  put  out  in  this  same  round  In

ON  THE 

SIDELINES 


Four-thirty  downpours  on  Mondav', 
Tue.sda)',  and  Wednesday  played  havoc 
with  intramural  Softball  this  week  in 
cutting  a  twenty-game  schedule  e.xaelK- 
in  half.  Conclusion  of  play  yesterday 
afternoon  found  the  Delta  Phis  firnd\ 
entrenched  in  the  number  one  slot  with 
their  nearest  rivals,  the  Chi  Pais  and 
Zetes,  deadlocked  a  game  and  a  half  in 
the  rear.  Shifts  in  the  second,  third,  and 
fourth  positions  are  conspicuous  as  the 
Phi  Gams  took  two  on  the  nose  to  drop 
to  a  lie  for  sixth  position.  Counter- 
balancing this  were  the  two  hard-fought 
victories  fur  the  Zetes,  lifting  them  into  a 
tie  for  the  rumuT-up  post. 

Outstanding  among  the  week's  games 
were  the  Kaps'  1-0  upset  victor\'  over 
Phi  Gam  and  the  Zetes  seventh  imiing 
•clutch'  triumph  over  a  scrap|)\'  Beta 
squad.  I  he  Kaps  fielding  rallied  to  the 
support  of  Dave  Bradley  in  preserving 
his  second  shut-out  of  the  year.  A 
seventh  inning  double  play  built  around 
an  outfield  fly  and  a  close  play  at  the 
plate  b\  Johnny  Rust  nipped  the  Phi 
Gams'  attempt  to  tie  the  score. 

Tom  Hul'finton  with  a  towering  triple 
in  the  first  of  the  seventh  sent  two  Zetes 
scampering  across  the  phite  to  gi\  e  pitcher 
Dick  King  the  nod  in  a  tight  duel  with  the 
Betes'  Xiggy  Steel  and  a  0  to  5  victory. 
The  heretofore  hapless  Dekes  became 
conspicuous  by  breaking  into  the  win 
coliunn  for  the  first  time  in  handing  the 
Sigs  a  (>  lo  2  licking.  Numerous  errors 
and  sl(ipp\  playing  was  prevalent  on  both 
teams  with  the  Dekes'  Ted  Brown  and 
Sigs'  Hob  Nelson  trying  to  stem  the  tide. 

Thi'  Delta  Phis'  pitcher  Ted  Richardson 
deser\"es  a  palm  for  his  fine  hurling  in 
leadiuL;  his  team  to  easy  victories  over  the 
Theta  Delts,  6-1,  and  the  Psi  U's,  S-0, 
and  l^gi^^ering  his  second  shut -out  of  the 
current  campaign. 

The  order  of  the  da\'  for  most  of  the 
other  games  seeilietl  to  be  s!opp\'  and  I'rror- 
ridden  playing,  the  margin  of  victory  more 
often  than  not  resting  <in  poor  fielding. 
The  Theta  Delts  lay  temporary  claim  to 
the  title  in  the  error  department  having 
connnitted  seven  miscues  in  one  inning  of 
the  Chi  Psi  game. 

Killer  Keller  and  the  nine  'old  men'  of 
the  faculty  ball  club  fell  back  before  the 
onslaught  of  rainy  wi'ather  twice  this 
week  in  tlndr  abbreviated  two-inning 
contests  with  the  Zetes  and  Chi  Psis. 
Yesterday,  not  to  bi'  denied  again,  they 
bested  the  Garfs  in  a  niiu'-inning  duel  to 
the  tune  of  6  to  4.  Pitcher  Keller  at 
times  had  trouble  finding  the  plate,  but 
timely  hitting  by  his  t<'anmiatesand  timely 
misplays  by  the  opponents  combined  to 
set  the  profs  one  step  nearer  to  the 
mythical  campus  crown. 

lnters(|iiad  rivalry  on  the  freshman  base- 
ball team  for  the  past  week  was  allowed 
to  cool  with  all  scheduled  games  rained  out. 
The  inters(|uad  league  will  terminate  its 
seas(m  by  the  end  of  next  week.

Only  75  Students  Have 
Hiked  for  P.T.  Credit 

Surprised  that  more  hiking  had  not  been 
done  for  P.T.  credit,  J.  F^dwin  Bullock, 
assistant  professor  of  physical  eilucation, 
yesterday  revealed  that  only  sixteen  trips, 
nund)ering  seventy  five  undergraduates, 
had  been  taken  since  the  jirograin  of  re- 
c|uired  athletics  began  this  semester. 

The  (jlacier  Lake  Trail  has  been  the 
most  popular  hike  from  the  point  of  view 
of  number  of  students  with  two  hikes 
totaling  sixteen  participants.  Four  hikes 
h;ive  gone  to  both  Pine  Cobble  and 
PoH  nal,  but  only  fifteen  ami  nine  students, 
respectively,  have  made  this  journey. 
Largest  single  hike  was  to  Bee  Hill  on 
July  9  when  thirteen  undergraduates  took 
part. 

Mr.  Bullock  said  that  the  physical 
education  department  has  left  the  conduct 
of  these  hikes  to  the  Outing  Club.  Under 
the  supervision  of  William  C.  Brewer,  Jr. 
'43,  president  of  the  Outing  Club,  the 
hikes  leave  Jesup  Hall  in  the  early  after- 
noon, returning  to  the  campus  in  time  for 
dinner.

Dick  Means,  seeded  fourth  in  the  Rock-

ning reversal  at  the  hands  of  Dick  King 
Wednesday  in  the  first  major  upset  of  the

baseline  drives  and  consistent  backhand 
smashes  to  win  3-6,  8-6,  6-3. 

Tod  Hunt,  captain  of  the  varsity, 
breezed  through  Fred  Dalzell  to  the  tune  of

struggle,  6-2,  9-11,  6-4,  in  the  other

Dr.  Kinsolving  Will 
Speak  This  Sunday 

General  Topic  for  Next 
Month  to  Be  'Christian 
Faith    in   a    Democracy' 

"Christian  Kailh  in  a  Democracy"  will 
be  the  main  theme  of  the  second  series  of 
four  chapel  sermons  discussing  spiritual 
problems  in  wartime,  revealed  the  Rev. 
Dr.  A.  Grant  Noble,  college  chaplain 
today.  Last  Sunday's  .sermon  was  the 
concluding  talk  in  the  first  series,  which 
was  centered  around  the  topic  "Chris- 
tianity in  a  World  at  War." 

Two  Types  of  Talks 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Arthur  L.  Kinsolving, 
rector  of  Trinity  Rectory  at  Princeton, 
N.  J.  and  former  chaplain  of  Amherst 
College,  will  begin  the  second  series 
Sunday,  when  he  speaks  on  "What  Christ 
Means  To  Us  I'oday."  The  program  has 
been  arranged  so  that  the  first  and  third 
speakers  will  discuss  their  topic  from  a 
personal,  intimate  standpoint,  while  the 
second  and  fourth  preachers  will  deliver 
their  subjects  from  a  theoretical,  intellec- 
tual viewpoint. 

Each  minister  has  been  chosen  because 
he  is  particularly  suited  to  discuss  his 
topic  and  can  give  students  "something  to 
carry  away  with  them,"  said  Dr.  Noble. 
"It  would  be  very  difficult  to  find,"  he 
pointed  out,  "four  better  speakers  on 
religious  matters  in  the  country."  Stu-

"It  takes  pull  to  be  a  farnrxer,"  says  Jack  Winant  '45  as  he  settles  down  to  one 
of  his  duties  as  a  student-fariner  on  nearby  Galusha  Farm. 

Farmer  —City  Slicker  Animosity  a  Legend; 
Students  Herd  Sheep,  Pitch  Hay,  Raise  Blisters 

The  famed  animosity  between  the  fanner  and  the  city  slicker  is  no  more  than 
a  legend  in  Williamstown;  the  pitchfork  and  the  pen  go  well  together.  After 
Bi'veral  weeks  of  life,  the  Williams  College  .Student-Farmer  plan  seems  to  be  working 
out   to  the  complete  satisfaction  of  both    parties:     the    farmers     like    the     under- 

gr.icUuites  they  have  seen   and  the  boys  like  their  bosses.

Til  •  fanner  si<le  of  the  picture  is  repre- 

senttiti  ,\ly  given  by  milk  producer  Dan  J. 

(ialusli.i  of  Williamstown,  who  so  far,  has 

been  llic  largest  user  of  students  for  field 

work.     I  Ic  recently  stated  to  The  Record 

that  he  nnisidered  "this  plan  a  fine  one. 

I've  been  using  the  boys  right  along  and 

I'm   talking  my  neighbors  into  it.     The 

boys  don't  seem  to  be  afraid  of  work,  and 

that's  one  thing  we  have  lots  of." 
'riiirty-Twii  Workers 
Though  the  use  of  the  college  labor  has 

been    curtailed   by   the  recent    rains,   the 

seasonal  nature  of  the  work,  and  the  gas 

rationing  that   keeps  many  farmers  from 

coming  in  to  town  to  pick  up  the  substitute 

hands,  thirty-two  of  the  sixty-five  regis- 
tered undergraduates  have  seen  action  in 

the   fields.     Sevenil   of  the  local   farmers 

have    written    Albert    \'.    Osterhout    '06, 

executive  secretary   of  the   .Student    Aid 

Committee,    who    is    administrating    the 

project,  saying  that  ex  iii  though  they  have 

not  yet  called  for  ai<l,  ihey  plan  to  do  so 

later  in  the  season  when  their  crops  get  too 

heavy  to  handle. 

Shovels,  Korks,  Sheep 
The  work  laid  cnit  for  the  Williams 
farmers  has  been  \aried,  ranging  from 
digging  topsoil  from  under  a  prospective 
hen-house,  through  hay  pitching  and  sheep 
herding,  to  the  chopping  of  weeds  and 
grass  around  the  1896  House,  local 
restaurant. 

(See  STUDENT-FARMERS  page  5) 


Organization  of  Allied 
Aid  Further  Defined 

The  purpose  of  the  recently  formed 
Allied  Relief  Committee  is  to  arrange  a 
schedule  of  events,  consisting  of  group 
projects  and  individual  programs  by  the 
various  war  relief  organizations,  explained 
the  Rev.  Dr.  A.  Grant  Noble,  chairman, 
in  a  recent  interview.  China,  Great 
Britain,  Greece,  Holland,  and  Russia  are 
the  five  members  of  the  United  Nations 
represented  in  the  committee. 

"Each  individual  committee,"  said  Dr. 
Noble,  "will  remain  intact  to  present  pro- 
jects for  the  specific  relief  of  one  nation." 
From  time  to  time  there  will  be  Allied 
Relief  group  projects,  such  as  the  tag  day 
scheduled  for  Saturday,  from  which  the 
proceeds  will  be  shared  equally  by  the  five 
organizations.  The  allied  committee  was 
formed  as  a  result  of  suggestions  by  towns- 
people and  chairmen  of  the  various  relief 
organizations. 

Benefit  for  Chinese  Relief 

An  individual  project  for  the  benefit  of 
Chinese  relief  will  be  presented  by  the 
United  China  Relief  committee  next 
Wednesday,  Prof.  James  B.  Pratt,  chair- 
man, announced.  The  program  for  aiding 
the  United  States' ally  is  a  lawn-party  at 
the  garden  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  H.  Botsford 
on  North  Street.  A  fortune-teller,  mys- 
tery side-show,  baby  show,  and  refresh- 
ments are  among  the  attractions  included 
on  the  program.  Mr.  Botsford  is  a 
graduate  of  the  Class  of  1882.

3  Freshmen  Play  in  6-1 
Defeat     by     Conomatics 

by  Dave   Thurston  '44 

Coach  Charlie  Caldwell's  up-and-down 
baseball  team  meets  Amhersl  tomorrow 
afternoon  at  2:30  on  Weston  Field  in  the 
sole  Saturday  athletic  attraction  of  house- 
party  weekend  when  it  tries  lo  make  it 
three  straight  over  the  Sabrinas  since 
Rollo  Smith's  8-3  victory  earh  this  spring. 
Twi'  weeks  ago  Bill  Dimovan's  strong 
right  anil  set  the  Jeffs  down  with  but  seven 
hits  .fiat lered  over  six  innings,  and  accord- 
ing Id  all  pre-game  plans,  he  will  be  on 
the  mntiiid  again  timiorrow. 
Lally  on  Mound 

Ctiplain  Jack  Lally  or  Smith  will  be 
the  opposing  pitcher,  with  Lallv  likely  to 
get  the  nod  as  he  held  the  Ephs  hilless 
for  five  innings  in  their  previous  meeting 
this  summer.  Smith,  although  twice 
victor  over  the  Purple  in  seasons  past, 
was  touched  for  all  of  the  Ephs'  eight 
hits  and  six  runs  before  being  relieved  by 
Lally. 

Last  Saturday's  6-1  defeat  at  the  hands 
of  the  Cone  Automatic  Machine  Company 
nine  saw  three  freshmen  in  the  line-up, 
as  Coach  Caldwell  took  advantage  of  the 
new  freshman  eligibility  ruling.  Bernie 
LeSage  was  behind  the  plate,  with  Jim 
Young  and  Al  Dulcan  playing  first  base 
and   shortstop. 

Rally  Stops  Williams 

Going  behind  by  a  run  in  the  first  of 
the  second  the  Purple  came  back  to  tie 
the  score  in  their  half  of  the  canto.  But 
a  four-run  Conomatic  rally  in  the  fifth 
coupled  with  another  counter  in  the 
ninth  were  too  much  for  the  weak-hitting 
Ephs. 

Williams'  sole  run  in  the  last  of  the 
second  was  unearned,  as  were  the  four 
Conomatic  tallies  in  the  fourth.  Gunner 
Hayes  walked,  took  third  on  Young's 
sharp  single  to  left  center,  and  completed 
the  circuit  when  the  center  fielder  allowed 
the  ball  to  pass  him. 

Bridgewater  Oats  Double 

The  Ephs'  only  other  threat  came  in  the 
last  of  the  eighth,  when  they  garnered 
two  of  their  four  safeties.  Donovan  led 
oflf  with  a  single  to  right.  Dick  Emery 
looped  a  sure  hit  over  second  base  only 
to  have  center  fielder  Lynk  race  in  and 
rob  him  with  a  sensational  shoe-stting 
catch.  John  Bridgewater  kept  the  rally 
alive  with  a  resounding  double  to  left 
center,  sending  Donovan  to  third,  but 
Captain  Bill  Schmidt  and  Hayes  both 
fanned  to  end  the  spurt.

As  the  world  conflict  roars  to  the  end  of

Application  Is  on  File 
For  N.Y.A.  Student  Aid 

Scholarship     Men     Given 
Chance    to    Earn    Cash 

Application  for  student  aid  from  the 
National  Youth  Administration  funds  was 
filed  this  week  by  Mr.  .Albert  V.  Osterhout 
'06,  head  of  Student  Aid.  Although  the 
plan  for  helping  college  students  was 
initiated  last  year,  it  never  was  put  into 
full  effect  at  Williams. 

Under  the  N.  Y.  A.  system  students  are 
employed  in  campus  administration  work 
such  as  mimeographing  and  clerical 
assistance.  Each  month  ti  work  card 
detailing  the  time  spent  on  each  job  and 
total  working  hours  is  compiled  by  the 
Student  Aid  office  for  ever\  student  re- 
ceiving assistance. 

$20  Monthly  Limit 
This  card  is  sent  to  Boston  N.  Y.  A. 
headquarters,  and  a  check  is  mailed 
directly  from  Bo.ston  to  the  individual 
.students.  A  limit  of  $20  per  month  is 
placed  on  the  earnings  of  any  single 
student. 

In  effect  only  four  months  last  year,  the 
program  enabled  39  scholarship  men  to 
cam  extra  money  for  their  education.  A 
total  of  approximately  $1,500  was  paved 
to  Williams  students. 

This  semester's  application  calls  for  a 
larger  appropriation  than  last  year's,  but 
because  of  the  limited  funds  with  which 
the  N.  V.  A.  is  operating,  the  Williams 
allocation  will  probably  be  reduced,  A 
decision  will  be  made  within  the  next  few- 
weeks;  and  as  soon  as  Mr.  Osterhout  re- 
ceives definite  word,  the  plan  will  be  put 
into  effect. 


Fraternities  Will  Pay 
Electricity  Charges 
Through     CBM     Set-Up 

Strict  Economy  Urged 

/ly  CiEOWiK  y .  Nkhrhas,  '44 

In  one  of  the  first  significant  niox'os 
toward  reducing  fraternity  expenses,  Frank 
R.  Thorns.  Jr.  '.W,  manager  of  Campus 
Business  Management  at  Williams  Col- 
It  ge,  announced  today  that  sa\'ings  up  to 
$1200  ytarlv  for  Williams  houses  have 
been  made  possible  by  a  new  .igreement 
between  the  college  and  the  .Northern 
Berkshire  ('.as  Compans',  which  supplies 
electric  service  to  the  W  illiamstown  area. 

Under  the  new  setup  the  college  will 
pay  one  monthly  bill  covering  electricity 
charges  for  the  fraternities  as  well  as  for 
all  its  btiiltlings.  The  fraternities  will  be 
billed  by  and  pay  to  Campus  Business 
Management  their  proportionate  charges 
at  the  special  college  rate,  and  CBM  will 
then  reimlnirse  Treasurer  Charles  D. 
Makepeace  '00  the  total  amoiint  due  from 
tlu'  houses. 

Slalonu'iit  liy  'I'lioiiis 

"CUM  is  ideally  set  up  to  act  in  this 
litiison  capacity."  said  Manager  Thorns 
tcda\,  "and  by  doing  so  will  free  the 
college  ireasurer's  ollice  from  the  burden 
of  .iclcling  considerably  to  its  already  heavy 
bookkeeping  duties." 

.Negotiations  for  the  agreement,  which 
ha\e  been  going  on  for  several  months, 
were  completed  in  time  to  institute  the  new 
rate  as  of  August  1.  "Credit  is  due  to  IC. 
Herbert  Botsford  '82,  of  Williamstown. 
for  initiating  the  idea,"  Tlionis  stated, 
"to  the  college  for  following  through  and 
compleling  iiegotititions.  aiul  to  the  utility 
for  its  willingness  to  consider  favorably  the

Classes   for   Freshmen 

Five   Week   Course   Begins 
on   Monday,   August   17 

William  G.  I'errs,  assistant  to  the  Dean, 
is  this  week  sending  notices  to  all  members 
of  the  Class  of  1946  whose  scores  on  the 
reading  tests  given  during  the  orientation 
program  indicate  that  they  wimld  benefit 
from  instruction  in  reailing  skills.  Sixty 
students  took  the  course  last  year  and 
registered  an  average  iniprovement  of  over 
fifty-seven  percent,  although  in  individual 
cases  the  figure  ran  as  high  as  two  hundred 
per  cent. 

The  course  is  entirely  optional,  and  the 
first  organization  meeting  will  be  held

Tliis  .s])a('o  lias  been  rcsn-ved  —  rcservi'd  in  pa.sl  year.s  lor  an  edit 
like  "Tlic  Import iiiice  of  Not  ]5eing  Earnest"  which  appeared  here  in 
tiic  fall  of  19  10,  or  for  a  "pome,"  "Hou.separtie.s  on  the  Eve,"  written  in 
May  19U,  or  for  "'Is  Democracy  Doomed.'",  a  half-smile,  half-frown  ed- 
itorial of  last  fall. 

The  houscparty  story  for  .Vugnst  1942  is  on  page  one.  The  .story 
behind  that  story,  a  2()()-word  "Eat,  Drink,  and  15c  Merry"  editorial, 
might  have  a])pearcd  here.  It  won't.  "The  Importance  of  Not  Being 
Earnest"  is  now  obviously  an  anachronism.  For  the  fir.st  time  we  find 
our.selves  disapproving  a  weekend  of  unnecessary  ex])enses,  a  weekend 
wlicn  Williams  might  have  raised  thousands  of  dollars  for  guns  and 
bullets,  hut  instead  is  being  credited  by  the  Amherst  Sliithmt  and  others 
with  a  "more  acute  and  universal  i)arty  instinct."  Now  this  space  is 
reserved  for  more  serious  comment  —  this  week  and  other  weeks. 
Is  The  P.  T.  Program  Working? 

,\t  the  beginning  of  the  pi'cseiit  term,  the  physical  education  de- 
l)aitnieut  initialed  compulsory  I*.  T.  for  all  clas.ses,  witii  drills  in  calis- 
thenics re<(iiire(l  of  each  undergraduate  once  a  week.  It  was  a  wartime 
step,  taken  in  response  to  the  .\rmy's  ivcjuest  that  all  colleges  cooperate 
in  the  drive  to  put  .Vinerica's  youth  in  loj)  physical  .shajjc.  It  was  a  .step 
which  we  con.sider  a  half-way  measure,  uiiwortliy  of  the  tradition  of  a 
college  I'ouikUmI  by  a  soldier. 

With  the  Uini  already  nearly  half  gone,  there  are  still  some  .students 
will)  liav<'  never  attended  a  calisthenics  drill.  There  are  many  more  who 
parlici|)ate  in  some  sport  only  once  a  week  at  the  most.  Students  in 
beginner's  golf,  for  cxaiiiple,  hit  around  thirty  balls  a  week  in  farcical 
pre|)arati()n  for  the  gruelling  demands  of  the  armed  services.  And  very 
few  have  acted  on  the  physical  education  department's  suggestion  that 
each  student  inaugurate  a  complementai'y  training  ijrogram  of  his  own. 

The  undermanned  ])hysical  education  de|)artnient  is  doing  the  best 
it  can.  iVlost  of  the  ras/xmsihility  for  llie  iinsalisfadury  state  of  affairs  falls 
III!  the  iiiiliridiiul  student.  In  fact,  i)robably  no  amount  of  enforcement 
could  produce  any  beneficial  effects  in  the  physical  condition  of  those 
undergi'ailuates  who  have  neither  the  physical  nor  mental  energy  to 
comply  with  a  college  regulation  which  is  of  national  im])ortance. 

The  poor  jjliysica!  condition  of  a  good  many  students  at  Williams  is 
i)ad  enough.  The  nieiilal  attitude  it  implies  is  worse.  We  are  at  war, 
and  losing.  We  won't  win  this  war  until  each  individual  makes  up  his 
mind  to  accept  iiis  own  responsibilities.  We  won't  win  this  war  until, 
as  one  professor'  [)iits  it,  "we  prove  we  are  capable  of  accepting  the  re- 
s|)oiisibility  of  cilizen.ship  in  a  democracy  by  always  endeavoring  to  do 
more  than  is  re(|uire(l."  Then,  and  oidy  then,  will  the  collective  force  of 
these  indi\  idual  resolutions  add  up  to  victory. 

No  One   Will   Like  This 

.\o  one  will  like  this  editorial,  for  it  criticizes  us  all  for  participating 
in  an  unnecessarily  ex|)ensive  houscparty.  It  criticizes  undergraduates 
for  their  rcsponssc  to  the  j)hysical  pre])aredness  jjrogram,  and  the  ad- 
ministration for  its  failure  or  iiiai)ility  to  make  that  program  more 
coniprehensive.  We  might  go  on  to  criticize  the  facts  that  attendance  at 
good  lectures  on  the  conduct  of  tiie  war  is  amazingly  slight,  that  some 
students  consider  reserves  as  one  last  opportunity  for  an  all-out  fling, 
that  few  students  buy  war  stamps  regularly.  But  we  get  rather  sick  of 
criticizing  ourselves  for  a  laxity  we've  all  seen  for  months  but  haven't 
yet  done  anything  about. 


WAR  AID 


Amherst- Williams  Relations 

To  The  Editors  of  Tmo  IlFcom): 

This  weekend  the  varsity  baseball  team  will  play  a  second  game 
with  Amherst.  The  whole  college  is  well  aware  by  now  of  the  unpleasant 
incident  which  occurred  during  the  July  game  at  Pratt  Field.  It  is  un- 
fortunate that  .so  many  athletic  contests  with  Amherst  in  recent  years 
have  been  marred  by  similar  events.  While  it  is  no  doubt  true  that  bad 
feeling  has  existed  at  times  between  the  athletes  of  the  two  colleges, 
nevertheless  the  spectators  frequently  are  equally  responsible  in  encourag- 
ing and  inciting  brawls. 

After  the  Amherst-Williams  ba.sketball  incident  last  spring,  Charles 
H.  Tower  '12  wrote  an  excellent  letter  to  Tiiio  Recokd  on  a  similar 
subject  vvliich,  unfortunately,  was  pretty  generally  ignored.  He  pointed 
out  that  an  ardent  desire  to  win  does  not  necessarily  include  poor  sports- 
man.ship,  unfair  tactics,  or  bad  manners.  Most  athletes  participating 
ill  any  sport  generally  agree  that  unnecessary  argument,  personal  animos- 
ities, and  bad  feeling  detract  from,  rather  than  add  to,  the  gratification 
of  winning  or  the  enjoyment  of  competition. 

Both  the  Williams  and  Amherst  teams  are  anxious  to  avoid  in  the 
future  any  repetition  of  certain  past  experiences.  It  is  our  desire  to 
play  a  hard  but  clean  game  this  Saturday.  Therefore  we  would  greatly 
appreciate  the  cooperation  of  all  Williams  students  and  guests  in  re- 
fraining from  unnecessary  hooting,  jeering,  and  personal  remarks  which 
might  only  serve  to  delay  the  game  or  create  bad  spirit  between  the  two 
colleges.

ness, ilesigneil  to  copo  with  any  possible 
disaster.  Air  raid  defense  ineclianisnis 
liave  lieen  perfected,  and  plans  for  tlie 
rcceptioii  and  care  of  evacuees  liave  l)een

town  area  working  on  war  contracts  have 
been  put  under  semi-military  police 
protection  and  Kovernnicntal  supervision. 
I'^iriners,  hard-pressed  by  the  local  labor 
shortage,  are  receiving  work  aid  from 
Williams  students.  (See  story  on  page  1.) 
Aid  tu  U.  S.  O. 
Specific  steps  already  taken  to  aid  the 
national  war  effort  incliifle  the  present 
drive  by  the  Williamstown  air  raid 
wardens,  under  the  direction  of  Elmer  ('■. 
Noble,  to  collect  old  phonograph  records. 
This  campaign  has  a  dual  purpose:  (1)  to 
provide  a  source  of  reclaimable  shellac  to 
supplement  the  government  reserve,  fast 
diminishing  since  the  Japanese  conquest  of 
the  Ease  Indies;  and  (2)  to  provide 
revenue  for  the  USO  by  the  sale  of  the  old 
recordings.  The  Salvage  committee  is 
also  collecting  fats  from  which  glycerine, 
valuable  in  the  manufacture  of  explosives, 
may  be  extracted. 

Another  aid  to. the  nation's  war  indus- 
tries is  the  proposed  tin  can  drive  which 
will  be  under  the  general  supervision  of 
Wallace  K.  (ireen,  chairman  of  the  local 
Salvage  Division  of  the  Massachusetts 
Commiitee  on  Public  Safety.  At  present 
this  committee  is  providing  fre.'  deinon- 
stiations  in  canning  techniques,  stressing 
the  eeononiical  use  of  sugar. 

b'ollowing  an  order  by  Ciovernor  Lev- 
erett  I..  Saltonstall,  Professor  Mears  is 
condueiiiig  a  survey  on  the  needs  of  every 
oil  burner  in  Williamstown  and  the  possi- 
bility of  conversion  to  coal.  In  the  face  of 
a  threatened  fifiy  per  cent  rcductiim  in  the 
available  fuel  oil  supply,  it  is  important, 
according  to  Dr.  Mears,  that  adecpiate 
heating  plants  be'  provided  to  prevent 
freezing  of  plumbing  facilities  ciuring  the 
winter,  as  well  as  to  protect  the  general 
public  health. 

I'repureil  ftir  KvueiuM's 
I*rovisions  have  been  made  for  c.iring 
for  more  than  150  evacuees,  who  will  be 
registered  in  the  gym.nasium,  given  metlical 
treatment  at  the  post  olifice  or  Thompson 
Infirmary,  possibly  housed  in  college 
buildings,  and  probably  fed  at  various 
Williamstown  churches. 

.-\ir  raid  precautions  in  Williamstown 
begin  at  the  connmmicaiions  center,  where 
four  private  telephone  lines  are  kept  open 
twenty-four  hours  a  day.  In  case  the 
"red  light"  should  l)e  flashed  from  Boston, 
It  least  thirty  calls  woulil  go  out  over  this 
communications  netwcrk  simultaneously 
with  the  warning  blas.s  of  the  various 
sirens  and  bells.  In  all  of  Williamstown 's 
fourteen  districts  blackout  regulations  are 
enforceil  by  speciall\-  ili'imtized  air  raid 
wardens,  who  have  been  trained  in  the 
techniques  of  dealing  with  homljs  and 
gases  of  all  kinds. 

In  the  event  of  an  .utual  attack,  first 
aid  heatlquarters  will  be  established  in  the 
basement  of  the  post  olfuv;  ambulances, 
170  emergency  vehicles,  and  demolition 
squads,  will  be  standing  by  to  assist  in 
rescue  work;  specially  trained  police  and 
firemen  will  supplement  the  regular  forces; 
and  decontamination  crews  will  deal  with 
any  poison  gases.  I'lans  arc  now  toeing 
developed  for  a  system  of  short  wave  radio 
communication  in  case  the  telephone  net- 
work is  put  out  of  order. 

The  Committee  on  Public  Safety  is 
organized  to  deal  with  such  accidents  as 
the  recent  nearby  crashes  of  Army 
Bomljers,  and  has  set  up  mountetl  patrols 
for  duty  in  difficult  terrain.  Ski  patrols 
have  also  been  organized  to  operate 
throughout  the  winter.

Golfers  Drop  Match 
To  North  Adams  C.C. 

Dick  Baxter's  varsity  golf  team  suffered 
a  7^-4^  setback  at  the  hands  of  North 
Adams  C.  C.  Wednesday  in  the  first  of  :i 
series  of  matches  with  nearby  country 
clubs.  In  the  first  foursome  Fred  Barnes, 
Williams  captain,  and  Munro  Steel  teamed 
to  good  advantage  to  down  Bing  Hunter 
and  Dave  McClelland,  21-^.  Steel  canned 
a  four  foot  birdie  putt  on  the  final  green 
to  halve  the  back  nine  and  clinch  the 
match. 

Bill  Todd,  one  of  two  freshmen  on  the 
squad,  tiiul  Bob  Wright  brought  home  the 
other  two  jioints  with  Todd  getting  the 
best  nine  hole  round  of  the  ilay.  He 
toured  the  tricky  nine-hole  North  Adams 
course  in  3,S  the  second  time  aroitnd. 

The  Bob  Maxfield-AI  Waycott  and 
Joe  Lee-Chuck  ^'eiser  pairs  were  blanked. 
Four  mainsta\s,  Pete  Davis,  Charlie 
Heucr,  Don  Lindsay  and  Bob  McKee, 
were  unable  to  make  the  trip  for  the 
twilight  match. 

Lindsay  advanced  to  the  finals  of  the 
college  championship  last  week  with  a 
victory  over  Stwl.  In  the  only  other 
match  played  McKee,  the  defending 
champion,  ousted  Captain  Barnes  2-up 
in  the  quarter  finals.  Lindsay  will  meet 
the  winner  of  Monday's  Heuer-McKee 
match  for  the  title. 


Selective  Service 
Information 


{As  an  aid  to  iiuderslandiiig  the  opera- 
tion of  the  Selective  Service  Act,  to  prevent 
undue  alarm  concerning  the  processes  of 
induction,  and  to  clear  up  misinformation 
liased  on  unfounded  rumors,  The  Record 
publishes  the  following  condensed  analysis 
of  the  draft  system,  released  by  Acting  Presi- 
dent Richard  A.    Newhall. — The  Editors.) 

Registration — Registration  of  all  those 
eligible  for  inililary  service  includes 
everyone  between  the  ages  of  twenty  and 
fort\'-five.  Registration  cards  are  num- 
bered by  Int. 

'Questionnaires  —  General  Stdective 
Service  questionnaires  are  then  sent  out 
according  to  these  tissigned  nund)ers. 
(These  are  not  the  occupational  question- 
naires, which  are  also  distributed  through 
the  Selective  Service  System,  but  which 
have  nothing  to  do  with  the  draft.) 

Preliminary  classification  —  E\'er\'- 
one  is  immediately  classified  when  the 
c|uestionnaires  are  returned  to  the  local 
draft  board.  Married  men  with  dependents 
are  automati(';ill\  deferred  and  phiced  in 
class  III-A.  .All  others  are  tent;itively 
placed  in  ]-A,  unless  it  is  shcjwn  that  they 
are  necessar\-  in  some  occupation  closely 
connected  with  the  public  health  and 
interest,  or  with  national  offense.  No 
formal  notice  of  this  tentative  I-A  class- 
ification is  sent  to  the  registrant,  but 
according  to  his  number  on  the  I-A  list 
he  will  receive  an  order  to  report  for  his 
fir'-l  physical  examination,  which  is  called 
a  "screening." 

Physical — The  "screening"  is  a  super- 
ficial medical  examination  which  includes 
a  blood  test.  Nearly  ewry  man  passes 
it. 

Definite  classification — E\er\  ni.in 
classified  as  tentative  I-A,  who  passes 
the  "screening",  is,  at  the  meeting  of  the 
local  board  following  the  "screening", 
classified  as  definite  I-A,  and  a  card  to 
that  effect  is  sent  to  him.  On  receipt  of 
this  card  he  has  ten  days  in  which  to  ob- 
ject to  such  classification  if  he  has  good 
grounds  for  objection,  and,  if  necessarv', 
to  appeal  from  the  decision  of  the  local 
board.  Otherwise  he  remains  on  the  list 
of  those  subject  to  call. 

Call  for  induction — When  the  local 
board  gets  an  order  to  send  a  quota  of 
men  to  the  Army,  it  selects  the  men  from 
the  list  of  eligibles  according  to  their 
serial  numbers.  An  order  to  report  for 
induction  is  sent  to  these  men  ten  days 
before  the  date  of  induction.  .After  re- 
ceiving such  order  a  man  cannot  enlist  or 
ask  to  have  his  case  reconsidered.  At  the 
induction  center  each  man  is  given  a 
thorough  physical  examination.  If  he 
passes  this  he  is  enlisted  immediately  and 
sworn  into  the  Army.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  AUGUST  7,  1942 


Alumnus  Gives  Needed 
Chemicals  to  Williams 

'Record'      Article      Brings 
College  Two  Truckloads 

With  the  arrival  of  several  hundred 
dollars  worth  of  eheinicals,  nuwt  of  them 
unobtaiiialile  ill  i  resr'nt,  the  crucial 
shortage  of  chemicals  in  the  IJep.irtinent 
of  Chemistry  has  been  relieved.  Second- 
hand, they  are  a  gift  to  the  college  of  an 
alunnuis  ttho  foiuid  himself  in  a  position 
to  help  Williams  with  two  large  truckloads 
of  both  organic  antl  inorganic  supplies. 
.Some  stocks  will  be  enough  to  last  ten 
years,  Prof.  John  K.  King  predicted. 

The  alumnus  became  aware  of  the 
critical  situation  through  an  article  written 
by  a  Record  reporter,  which  app.'ared 
two  weeks  ago,  and  was  reprinted  in  the 
public  press.  "Beyond  any  doubt,  Wil- 
liams now  has  the  finest  dye  collection 
of  any  college  in  America,"  said  Professor 
King,   "thanks  to  this  timely  donation." 

At  the  same  time  negotiations  with  the 
WPB  to  secure  a  badly-needed  analytical 
balance  were  net  succeeding  so  well. 
The  balance  contains  a  small  amount  of 
brass,  but  the  necessary  priority  rating 
has  thus  far  been  denied.  In  resi)onse  to 
his  request  for  the  balance.  Professor 
Kijig  received  the  following  communica- 
tion from  the  WI'B.  "It  is  the  policy  of 
the  War  Production  Hoard  to  endea\or 
to  keep  all  iiislivutinns  in  operation  at  their 
pre-war  le\el  as  long  as  possible,"

Tennis  Team  Weakened 
With  Hunt  out  of  Play 


Net      Captain 
Appendicitis 


Undergoes 
Operation 


Chances  for  a  successful  tennis  season 
suffered  a  severe  jolt  when  Tod  Hunt, 
captain  and  prospecti\e  number  one  man 
of  the  varsity,  was  stricken  with  appen- 
dicitis and  operated  on  Tuesday.  The 
Rockwood  Tenni.-;  Tournament,  in  which 
Hunt  was  seeded  first,  will  be  delayed 
until  the  diminutive  junior  returns  to 
action  some  time  in  September. 
Yale  Here  Today 

Hunt  had  taken  the  lead  with  Manager 
Jim  Martinez  in  organizing  a  varsity 
team  antl  arranging  a  schedule  of  matches 
in  the  absence  of  Clarence  Chafec,  the 
regular  tennis  coach.  The  sejuad,  slated 
to  pla\-  against  Yale  Frithu',  will  present  a 
consitlerably  weakenetl  lineup,  since  Huiit 
will  definitely  be  out  of  action  and  Dick 
Means,  tentatively  filling  the  number 
five  slot,  is  out  for  football  and  probably 
will  not  |)lay.  Under  these  circumstances, 
Dick  Hole,  George  Schmid,  Dick  King, 
Gordie  Michler,  Stu  Wilson  and  Les 
Havens  in  that  ortler  are  slated  to  make  up 
the  si.x-man  team. 

Accordi.'ig  to  L'ncle  Ed  HuMock,  the 
Rockwood  Tournament  will  be  heltl  up  at 
least  a  month  until  Hunt  recuperates. 
The  competition  had  advanced  to  the 
semi-finals  round  as  Dick  Hole,  seetled 
secontl,  beat  Frank  Wozencraft  easily. 
George  Schmid  and  Dick  King  arc  the  re- 
maining contestants  that  have  not  been 
eliminated.

In  the  most  .severe  accident  since  the 
recent  pheiiomijial  increase  in  bicycles  on 
the  campus,  John  L.  Tyler  '4.S  and  Fred- 
erick M.  Myers  '43  met  at  the  corner  of 
the  Edward  Clark  Geology  Laborator>- 
nearest  the  Old  Faculty  Club  yes.erdas- 
at  12:30  p.m.  in  a  head-on  collision  that 
sent  both  victims  to  the  infirmary  and 
demolished   one  of  the  machines. 

The  accident  occurred  as  Tyler,  coming 
from  Spring  Street,  rounded  the  blind 
turn  and  collidetl  with  Myers,  whose 
vision  was  also  obscured  by  the  corner  of 
the  buililing.  Thrown  violently  to  the 
pavenuMit,  both  students  suffered  serious 
cuts  ajid  liruises  abotit  the  face  and  head. 
Onlookers,  who  disentangletl  them  from 
the  wreckage,  sent  for  Dr.  Kenneth  R. 
McAlpin,  who  administered  first  aid  and 
helped  their  removal  to  the  Thompson 
Infirmary.  Dr.  McAlpin  stated  that  the\- 
would  be  released  from  observation  today. 

Onlookers  reported  that  the  force  of 
the  collision  smashed  the  front  wheel 
fork  of  Tyler's  bicycle,  and  ripped  the  tire 
from  one  wheel  of  Myers'  machine. 
Tyler's  liics'cle  is  believetl  to  be  jjeyond 
repair. 


BASEBALL 


(Continued  from  page  1) 

In  llie  second  the  Conomaties  scored 
their  first  run  when  Don  Kelley  beat  out 
a  slow  roller  and  advanced  to  third  on  a 
sacrifici'  antl  an  infield  out.  Me  scored 
a  moniciu  later  as  Donovan  lost  control 
and  hurled  a  wild  pitch. 

In  the  fifth  a  trio  of  errors  and  four 
hits  after  two  were  out  combined  to  give 
the  visitors  four  unearned  runs.  They 
atlded  iheir  final  counter  in  the  last  frame 
on  a  walk,  a  sacrifice,  and  Orey  Jay's 
.single. 

In  their  final  warm-up  before  the  Am- 
herst encounter  against  the  General 
Electric  nine  at  Pittsfield  last  night, 
Williams  lost  a  7-1  decision.  Gordon 
Johndroe  started  the  game  and  was  suc- 
cessively relieved  b\'  Al  Swain  in  the 
second  and  Bill  West  in  the  fifth.  The 
only  Purple  run  was  scored  by  West  who 
walked  antl  came  home  on  Donovan's 
triple.  These  two  teams  play  a  return 
engagement  next  Wednestlay  at  Weston

Students  Dodge  'Enemy  Planes/  Manoeuvre 
On  Cole  Field  with  Massachusetts  Guard 


Scvoii  Williams  nicii  had  a  taste  of 
waifaiT  last  Tuesdiiy  night  when,  with 
lliirty-two  lUi'inlxTS  of  the  local  Mass- 
MiluisL'tts  State  (luanl,  they  (lodged 
swooping  enemy  "planes",  skirmished 
uith  "sni|)ers"  on  Cole  Field,  and  learned 
military  essenti.ds  from  l.ientenant  J. 
ICilwin  Hullock. 

Captain  Hrainerd  Mears,  Sr.,  nnistered 
llie  students,  Mcl'hersoii  llolt,  Jr., 
Ilalsey  1).  Howe,  Alan  C.  James,  Hrainord 
Mears,  Jr.,  C.  Gorham  Phillips,  and 
Walter  B.  Stults  '43  and  William  1), 
Brewer  '44,  into  a  special  sfpiad  which 
will  not  heconie  a  member  of  the  regular 
C.nard.  James  was  appointed  acting 
corporal. 

IMiire  SiikIciiIs  Kx|>ccle(l 

Captain  M<'ars  has  already  announced 
that  students  wishing  to  gain  e.xperienc.' 
in  drilling  and  military  tactics  can  train 
with  the  (Uiard  Tuesday  nights,  and  last 
Pncsday's  delegation  is  expecteil  to  be 
only  the  van-guard  of  ihosi'  capitalizing 
on  the  offer. 

Kifles  were  issued  to  regular  guard 
members  in  the  VVilliamstown  Opera  1  fouse 
at  1:M)  p.m.,  and  two  platoons  marched 
out  Southworth  St.  with  the  student  squad 
as  rear  guard  for  manoeuvres.  An  ad- 
vance guard  was  dispatched  at  the  tennis 
courts  when  a  bird-like  "enemy  plane" 
swooped  low  sending  the  guards  scurrying 
for  cover,  and  the  company  moved  on. 
CHlisllieiiif'H  <iii  Cole  Fi<;l<l 

Kifles  weri'  stacked  at  Cole  Field,  and 
Lieutenant   Hullock  led  the  men  in  calis- 


thenics. While  the  seven  neophytes  were 
held  in  reserve  learnijig  the  "School  of  the 
Soldier"  and  essential  Commando  tactics, 
the  first  platoon  advanced  on  "snipers" 
in  the  Cole  Field  brush.  Despite  out- 
standing bravery  on  the  part  of  Private 
Richard  W.  Colmaji,  Jr.,  reinforcements 
were  called  uj)on,  ajiil  the  second  platoon 
was  sent  to  the  "front." 

After  successfully  completing  their 
mission,  the  company  retreated,  reformed 
its  ranks,  and  returned  to  the  Opera 
House  where  the  student  stpiail  was 
instructed  in  the  .Manual  of  Arms  by 
Sergeant  l.ouis  K.  liass,  local  iiir-raid 
ollicial.  Only  casualty  of  the  evening 
was  Lieutenant  Bullock,  who  was  caught 
with  the  barrel  of  a  gun  when  a  student 
erred  in  ,m  about-f.ice.

STUDENT- FARMERS

\'iiried  though  (lie  work  has  be.'ii.  the 
student  opinion  seems  to  he  unifieil:  they 
like  il.  .'\nstin  1'.  Montgomery  '4,S

House. IS  "$2.00,  blood  blisters,  anri  heers," 
but  »ent  on  to  say  that  il  was  healthful 
and  interesting.  He,  like  most  of  the 
other  siudent-farmers,  has  had  varied  jobs 
ami  s|ieaks  of  the  kindness  iit  ihe  farmers. 
iMilk  ami  Cuke 
The  wage  scale  of  thirty  rents  an  hour 
is  -..liisfying  to  undergrailiiaies.  Since 
till  I.inners  are  willing  to  gi\e  them  credit 
for  fractions  of  an  hour,  iuiil  the  work  is 
coiisiilered  amusing  as  well  as  fascinating, 
there  have  been  no  conipl.iiiits  on  this 
score.  One  of  the  farmers  lias  given  his 
hands  refreshments,  his  wile  meetiuij  the 
wagon  loads  as  they  came  into  tile  farm 
\ard  with  ice  water,  milk,  and  cake. 
'Taking:  Ahold  Well' 
Work  has  not  been  so  easy  on  the  Han- 
cock Road  Farm  of  John  Talh.it  where  the 
workers  dug  out  a  barnyard  .um]  set  a  line 
for  a  pipe  transit.  Talbot  complimented 
the  students  for  "taking  ahold  well."  He 
doubted,  however,  "whether  they  could 
stand  the  strain  for  a  cou|  le  of  whiiledays' 
work.  For  the  afternoon  arrangement," 
he  concluded,  "they  work  real  hard,  and 
the  .system  comes  out  just  tine." 

The  farmers  are  still  a  little  le.iry  of 
their  new  hands  in  some  cases.  "They're 
about  as  good  as  you'd  want  with  the 
pitchforks  or  the  haling  rigs,  hut  I'm 
damned  if  I'd  want  any  green  kids  playing 
with  my  stock,"  said  one  dreen  River  man. 
The  students  have  a  countercomplaint. 
They  still  haven't  seen  any  farmers' 
daughters. 

UTILITY  RATE

immediate  signing  of  these  agrk^ements." 

Inasmuch  as  the  Carfield  Club  is 
situated  in  a  college-owned  building,  the 
new  agreement  will  not  affect  its  present 
electricity  charge.^,  but  the  fraternities 
will  now  receive  electricity  at  the  same 
kilowatt-hour  rate  paid  by  the  college  with 
additional  charges  levied  to  cover  normal 
transformation  and  distribution  lo.sses  and 
cost  of  distribution  under  the  new  set-up. 

These  items,  Thorns  pointed  out,  were 
also  included  in  the  old  rate,  and  do  not 
represent  an  abnormal  increase.  Accord- 
ing to  past  figures  on  fraternity  electricity 
expense,  CBM  estimates  that  the  houses 
can  make  savings  up  to  $1200  provided 
strict  economy  in  consumption  is  practised.

Outing  Club  Plans  Cole 
Field  Obstacle  Course 

Will     Approximate     Army 
Model,    Says  Thompson 

"  Thip  Outing  Club  is  considering  the 
construction  on  Cole  Field  of  an  obstacle 
course  patterned  after  those  used  by  the 
Army,"  Leonard  C.  Thompson  '43,  vice- 
president  of  woe,  announced  yesterday. 
This  action  has  been  suggested  to  the 
Outing  Club  by  the  Gargoyle  Society  in 
order  to  further  the  training  of  Williams 
men  for  the  national  war  effort. 

Although  this  is  the  first  announcement 
of  the  idea,  Thompson  and  A.  Barr 
Snively  of  the  athletic  department  have 
been  considering  it  as  a  possibility. 
Princeton  University  has  constructed  a 
course  modelled  after  the  much-photo- 
graphed Army  obstacle  races.  Ideas  re- 
ceived from  the  plans  of  other  courses  will 
be  utilized  in  building  the  individual 
obstacles,  as  will  any  new  ideas  which  will 
prove  useful  in  conditioning  students. 

Thompson  said  that  although  no  action 
has  been  taken  as  yet,  he  was  definitely 
in  favor  of  the  construction  of  such  a 
course.  Outing  Club  members  and  all 
others  who  wanted  to  volunteer  could  carry 
on  the  work. 

Snively  pointed  out  that  Cole  Field 
would,  in  all  likelihood,  prove  to  be  an 
ideal  situation  for  an  obstacle  course. 
The  course  would  start  near  Cole  Avenue 
at  the  far  end  of  Cole  Field  and  run  to- 
wards the  Green  River.  After  crossing 
and  re-crossing  the  river,  it  would  finish 
in  the  woods  beyond  tlie  hockey  rink. 
Such  a  course  would  be  a  mile  or  a  mile 
and  a  half  in  length.

these  rules  may  be  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  Undergraduate  Council  and  if 
necessiiry,  be  referred  to  the  committee 
on  discipline  of  the  college.

With  less  than  two  weeks  to  go  in  the 
interfraternity  softball,  the  Delta  Phis 
have  yet  to  lose  their  first  contest.  Group- 
ed close  behind  them  are  the  Chi  Psi  and 
Zeta  Psi  nines,  with  records  of  Jiine  wins 
and  one  defeat  apiece.  Together  with 
the  D.  U.  team,  which  has  won  five  of 
its  seven  encounters  to  date,  they  form 
the  only  serious  threats  to  a  pennant  for 
the  leaders,  although  the  Alpha  Delts  i 
and  Phi  Gams  still  cling  precariously  lo 
a  .slim  mathematical  chance,  with  three 
defeats  against  them. 

The  schedule  during  the  final  weeks 
provides  plenty  of  thrills,  for  the  three 
top  teams  have  yet  to  meet.  The  D. 
Phis  meet  both  the  Chi  Pais  and  Zetes 
next  week,  and  the  Chi  Psis  and  Zetes 
clash  in  their  last  game  of  the  season 
the  following  Tuesday.  B>'  beating  the 
Chi  Psis  and  Zetes,  the  Delta  Upsilon 
team  can  have  a  shot  at  the  title,  if  both 
clubs  beat  the  Delta  Phis. 

Gilt-edged  pitching  by  Teddy  Rlcharil- 
son  brought  the  D.  Phis  both  of  their 
triumphs  this  week.  Tuesday  the\  knock- 
ed the  Kaps  out  of  the  race  with  a  blister- 
ing attack  that  netted  sixteen  runs,  Ui  the 
Kaps'  3.  F'eaturing  the  offensive  was  a 
first-inning  grand-slam  home-run  liy  Paul 
Heppes  thai  took  the  heart  out  iif  the 
opposition.  Richardson  also  helped  his 
own  cause  with  a  round-tripper.  Wednes- 
day the  undefeated  leaders  were  efleelively 
muzzled  liy  D.U.  flinger,  Denver  Williams, 
but  scored  three  runs  on  no  hits  in  the 
sixth  inning  when  his  support  went  to 
pieces.  Richardson  blanked  the  oppos- 
ition. 

Trailini;  4-2  in  the  seventh,  I  lie  Chi 
Psis  rallied  to  score  six  runs  and  win  8-4. 
A  prospective  Phi  Gam  rall>'  was  halted 
abruptly  by  an  Ed  Pennell-Hank  iVnnell- 
Ted  Halin  double  play.  The\  continueil 
their  winning  ways  on  Frida\'  in  crushing 
the  Kaps,  15-3,  netting  five  runs  in  each  of 
the  first  two  frames.  The  Zetes  kept 
pace  with  them  by  triumphing  over  the 
Theta  Delts,  4-2,  Wednesday  on  two  hits, 
and  rallying  in  the  seventh  to  .score  three 
runs  and  going  (m  to  score  two  more  in 
the  eighth,  to  down  the  Psi  U's  9-7, 
Thursday.  Tom  Lear\'  aided  I  )ick  King 
in  his  ninth  win  by  driving  out  his  second 
homer  of  the  year. 

The  faculty  clul)  broke  even  in  two 
riotous  encounters  this  week,  dropping 
their  second  decision  to  ilie  Phi  Gams, 
11-10,  after  rallying  to  knot  the  count  at 
lO-all,  and  nosing  out  the  Phi  Delts, 
13-11,  later  in  the  week. 

Bitter  intersquad  rivalry  on  the  fresh- 
man baseball  team  conlimied,  with  the 
A  team,  captained  by  I'hil  Ca<ly,  main- 
taining its  domination  of  the  B  and  C 
clubs.  They  lead  the  league  with  a  record 
of  four  wins  and  one  defeat,  followed  by 
C  with  two  wins  and  three  losses,  and  B 
with  two  wins  and  four  h)sses.  Six 
rained  out  contests,  and  two  ties  will  be 
played  olT  this  week.

Rollo  Smith  Hurls 
No-Hitter  Against 
Williams  Saturday 

Amherst  Evens  Summer 
Series,  2-0;  Ephs  Gain 
7-3  Decision  over  G.   E. 

Showing  a  complete  roversal  of  form 
>rom  his  6-3  shellacking  of  two  weeks  ago, 
;<()llo  Smith,  Amherst's  tall  right-hander, 
hut  out  Williams,  2-0,  without  a  hit 
■iaturday  afternoon  on  Weston  Field  to 
he  dismay  of  a  large  houseparty  gather- 
ing. So  far  as  is  known,  this  is  the  first 
no-hit  performance  in  the  eighty-three 
\ears  of  Williams-Amherst  baseball 
rivalry. 

In  gaining  his  third  win  over  the  Purple 
in  as  many  seasons.  Smith  pitched  master- 
ful ball,  giving  up  but  three  walks,  while 
striking  out  five.  In  gaining  this  coveted 
win,  the  Jeff  pitcher  was  aided  by  a 
spectacular  catch  by  Merry  Stiles  in  the 
third  inning  when  the  center  fielder  raced 
to  his  left  and  snared  John  Wakeman's 
long  drive  that  ordinarily  would  have 
gone  for  a  triple.  Other  than  this  smash, 
Smith  had  the  Ephmen  eating  out  of  his 
hand. 

Donovan  Pitches  Well 

Hill  Donovan  pitched  good  ball,  limit- 
ing the  Sabrinas  to  seven  hits  and  issuing 
a  single  base  on  balls.  But  a  pair  of  hits 
in  the  fifth  and  an  error  in  the  eighth 
spelled  defeat  for  the  converted  infieldcr. 

In  the  fifth  Amherst  picked  up  its  first 
run  on  Walt  McNiff's  single  inside  third 
base,  a  sacrifice,  an  infield  out,  and  Joe 
Mill's  single  to  left.  In  the  eighth  the 
Jeffs  scored  their  final  tally.  Smith  got 
the  second  of  his  two  hits,  a  long  drive  to 
left  center  field  that  Carl  Gruber  held  to 
a  single  by  a  beautiful  one-handed  stop. 
Sliles  forced  Sniitli  at  second,  and  Chick 
Koebel  in  turn  forced  Stiles.  Then 
Donovan  put  Koebel  on  third  as  he  threw 
wild  trying  to  pick  him  off  first.  Koebel 
scored  when  Wakenian  let  Captain  Jack 
Lally's  grounder  go  through  his  legs. 
Purple  Scoring  Bid 

In  its  half  of  the  eighth  the  Purple  made 
its  best  bid  to  score.  Dick  Emi^ry  walked, 
and  after  Gruber  struck  out,  Wakenian 
reached  on  Koebel's  jnisplay.  But  here 
Smith  bore  down  and  forced  Bill  Ford  to 
loft  out  to  center  and  Donovan  to  ground 
<mt. 

The   Purple  got   back   in   the   winning 
ways  Wednesday  in  a  twilight  encounter 
with  the  General  Electric  nine  from  Pitts- 
field  when  it  trounced  the  invaders,   7-3,

Gordon  String  Quartet 
To  Open  Music  Season 

Nin-Culmell  Accompanist 
to    Well-Known     Group 

Confronted  with  the  opportunity  of 
presenting  one  of  the  three  ranking  string 
quartets  in  the  country,  the  Thompson 
Concert  Committee  departed  from  its 
■  policy  of  never  sponsoring  a  single  per- 
formance to  announce  that  the  Gordon 
String  Quartet  will  play  in  Chapin  Hall 
Thursday  evening. 

The  unusual  concert  was  made  possible 
only  because  the  ensemble  has  been  tour- 
ing the  Berkshires  during  the  summer 
months  and  was  available  just  before  its 
performance  in  Pittslield.  The  quartet 
recently  presented  a  recital  at  Middlebury 
College  and  was  enthusiastically  received 
by  a  capacity  audience  of  600  students. 

The  program  will  be  highlighted  by  the 
presentation  of  a  quintet  by  Joaquin  Nin- 
Culmell,  assistant  professor  of  music,  who 
will  act  as  accompanying  artist.  In 
addition,  the  musicians  will  play  a  quartet 
by  Beethoven  and  one  by  Sibelius,  a 
masterpiece  seldom  heard  in  this  country. 

Mrs.  Robert  Allen,  who  was  recently 
appointed  publicity  director  for  the

Play  Next  Weekend 

Miss  Barbara  Murphy, 
Neilson,  Kraft,  Are  Cast 
in  Three  Leading   Roles 

by  A.  Henry  Hedden,  Jr.  '44 

Cap  and  Bells  Inc.  presents  The  Front 
Page,  its  major  production  of  the  summer 
season,  next  Friday  and  Saturday  even- 
ings, August  21  and  22,  at  8:30  p.  m.  on 
the  main  stage  of  the  Adams  Memorial 
Theatre. 

Charles  MacArthur  and  Ben  Hecht 
have  collaborated  in  writing  The  Front 
Page — the  movie  His  Girl  Friday  was  later 
based  on  it.  Hailing  from  Nyack,  N.  Y. 
and  having  worked  together  on  several 
occasions,  both  Hecht  and  MacArthur  are 
well-known  in  the  literary  world  as  play- 
wright authors,  and  motion piclurescenario 
writers. 

Enlivened  Rehearsals 

With  almost  tlinr  iveeks  of  rehearsals 
as  a  foundation  anil  the  houseparty  and 
hour  test  hurdles  passed,  the  production  is 
beginning  to  swin^  u^io  shape.  Between- 
acts  song  fests  parlii  ipated  in  by  members 
of  the  cast  and  (entering  on  Frank  C. 
Goodrich  '45  and  liis  guitar  has  been  the 
scheme  for  enlivening  these  rehearsals. 

The  lead  role  of  Hildy  Johnson,  ace 
newspaper  reporter,  goes  to  John  E.  Neil- 
son  '44.  Neilson  has  had  previous 
A.  M.  T.  stage  experience  through  his 
appearances  in  Much  Ado  About  Nothing 
and  the  Art  of  the  Theatre'sGreen  Pastures. 

Miss  Barbara  Murphy  of  North  Adams, 
an    undergraduate    at    the    New    Jersey 
College  for  Women,  is  cast  in  the  leading

In  the  face  of  wide-spread  Indian  riots 
throughout  Hondiay  last  Tuesday  Profs. 
Max  Lerner  and  Frederick  L.  Schuman, 
emphasizing  that  "to  fail  on  the  question 
of  India  is  to  fail  on  one  of  the  crucial 
fronts  of  the  war,"  urged  President 
Franklin  D.  Roosevelt  to  take  the  lead 
"in  bringing  about  a  meeting  of  minds 
which  will  resolve  the  danger"  in  a  431- 
word  telegram  to  the  White  House. 
Indian  CcHiperution  Sought 

"We  respcctfulh'  suggest,"  read  the 
telegram,  "a  jjroposal  from  the  President 
of  the  United  States  in  the  name  of  the 
American  people  to  all  the  other  United 
Nations,  for  the  innneiliate  submission  to 
arbitration  of  the  terms  on  which  India's 
liberation  and  India's  full  and  voluntary 
participation  in  the  allied  war  effort  can  be 
achieved." 

The  proposal  would,  according  to  the 
telegram,  provide  for  the  release  of 
members  of  the  Indian  National  Congress 
now  imprisoned  and  an  agreement  by  the 
Indian  leaders  to  "call  off  passive  resis- 
tance and  cooperate  with  the  war  effort 
during  the  waiting  period,  pending  the 
arbitration  of  the  dis]]ute." 
TiiiK'  Limit 

A  definite  time  limit  for  arbitration 
would  be  set  under  the  Lerner-Schuman 
proposal,  and  as  is  the  case  in  all  disputes 
settled  by  such  means,  the  agreement 
would    involve    prior  obligation   on   both 


parties  to   abide  b\-   the  decision  of    thi' 
tribunal. 

Outlining  a  tribun.il  of  arbitration 
which  would  include  representatives 
selected  by  the  governments  of  the  United 
Kingdom,  the  United  States,  the  .Stjviel 
Union,  and  the  Kepublic  of  China,  Pro- 
fessors Lerner  and  Schuman  asserted  th.u 
the  problem  has  assumed  tremendous 
proportions,  and  must  be  dealt  with  by 
cooperative  means. 

Victory  'Mortally  Eritlanjjered' 

"We  are,"  ran  the  telegram,  "dv'oply 
distressed  by  the  tragic  conflict  which  has 
broken  out  in  India,  by  which  th"  iill  iin.ite 
victory  of  the  United  Nations  is  mortally 
endangered.  The  American  gov.Tninent 
and  people  have  a  stake  in  the  Indian 
situation  which  they  cannot  lijjhtly 
disregard." 

Professors  Lerner  and  Schuman  de- 
plored the  inability  of  (ireat  Britain  and 
the  Inditm  parties  to  reach  a  decision  "as 
to  the  terms  on  which  the  Indian  people 
are  to  enjoy  'the  right  of  all  people  to 
choose  the  form  of  government  under 
which  they  will  live.'  "  It  will,  they 
affirmed,  "call  in  question  tlu'  cffectiwness 
of  the  Atlantic  Charter."

Centipede  Six-Seater  Cycle  Sees  Service; 
Carries  Half -Ton  of  Husky  Williams  Men 


by  Bruce  McClellan  '45 
Six,  not  sex,  was  the  uniquely  out- 
standing feature  of  a  Houseparty  saving- 
for-the-war-elTort  multipile  place  bicycle 
that  served  as  transportation  for  a  sextet 
celebrating  last  week's  hay  frolic.  Tripling 
the  bicycle  built  for  two,  the  centipede 
product  of  American  ingenuity  carried 
over  a  thousand  pounds  of  Williams  men 
to  the  functions  of  the  weekend  at  a  con- 
siderable saving  of  gasoline  and  rubber. 

Bicycle  Etiquette 

Houseparty  guests  first  glimpsed  the 
bike  as  it  raced  down  Spring  Street  to  the 
Amherst  baseball  game  and  went  once 
around  the  track  in  the  middle  of  the  first 
inning.  Each  of  the  six  who  pumped  the 
machine  wore  a  white  coat,  dark  glasses, 
and  gloves  in  the  best  tradition  of  nine- 
teenth-century bicycle  etiquette. 

The  one  unpleasant  feature  of  the 
machine  was  revealed  by  Edward  L. 
Emerson  '43,  when  he  said,  "The  thing  is 
fine  to  get  around  on;  but  you  can't  take  a 
bike  dancing  even  though  you  can  park 
with  it.  I  wish  I  had  a  date.  She  lives 
in  California." 

Owned  by  Henry  N.  Flynt,  Jr.  '44,  the 
bike  was  built  in  189S  by  a  firm  in  Boston 


for  the  use  of  the  King's  County  Wheelmen 
— a  Brooklyn  bicycle  club — and  handed 
down  through  a  great  uncle  to  its  present 
owner.  When  built,  the  bike  was  con- 
sidered completely  practical  despite  the 
fact  that  it  weighed  over  200  pcmnds  and 
had  no  brakes. 

Secret  Practices 

Even  with  the  addition  of  a  hand  brake, 
it  took  the  group  two  practices  to  feel 
reasonably  safe  operating  the  machine. 
Secret  practices  were  held  Thursday  night 
on  Weston  Field  and  Saturday  morning 
on  the  Green  River  road.  Because  the 
bike  is  geared  for  racing,  the  group  found 
their  greatest  difficulty  in  climbing  hills. 

The  riders  claim  that  each  seat  has  a 
special  function  to  be  mastered.  Thomas 
W.  Leary,  Jr.  '43  revealed  confidentially 
to  a  Record  reporter,  "I  don't  have  to 
pedal.  My  only  job  is  balancing.  Even 
then  I  sometimes  catch  crabs." 
Brakaman  Drags  Feet 

Only  the  front  handlebars  are  used  to 
steer,  and  the  sixth  man  must  help  to 
brake  by  jumping  off  and  dragging  his 
feet.  The  drive  seat  (should  you  evet 
have  a  chance  to  ride  such  a  bike)  is

4  New  P.T.  Sports 
Start  September 

Classes  Begin  in  Boxing, 
Basketball,  Swimming, 
Wrestling,    Says    Bullock 

With  the  beginning  of  varsity  fall 
sports  in  .September,  I'.  T.  classes  in 
basketball,  boxing,  swimming,  and  wrest- 
ling will  be  inaugurated,  st.ited  J.  Edwin 
Bullock,  assistant  professor  of  physical 
education,  yesterday.  Since  .dl  the  P.  T. 
instructors  will  he  coachiiit;  .i  sport  at  that 
time,  these  classes  will  all  be  finished  by 
4:00  in  the  afternoon, instead  of  continuing 
imtil  6:00  .is  they  arc  now. 

The  various  1'.  T.  classes  will  be  divided 
into  four  scpiads  which  will  participate 
respectively  in  the  four  sjiorts,  T+iese 
squads  will  last  approximately  si.v  weeks 
apiece,  with  undergraduates  being  shifted 
from  one  squad  to  another  as  tliey  become 
reasonably  proficient  in  each  activity. 
Jiii.lilsu  IncludtuI 

Mr.  Bullock  said  that  the  wrestling 
class,  which  he  will  instruct,  will  include 
not  only  collegiate  wrestling,  but  also  jiu 
jitsu.  Likewise,  swimming,  under  Coach 
Robert  B.  Mair,  will  probably  include 
such  activities  as  keeping  afloat  when 
fully  uressed.  Boxing  will  be  taught  by 
Anthony  Plansky,  while  Richard  W.  Col- 
man  will  be  in  charge  of  the  basketball 
class. 

Sometime  in  late  fall  or  early  winter 
P.  T.  clas.ses  in  apparatus  work,  skiing, 
and  squash  will  start.  Messrs.  Muir  and 
Plansky  will  handle  sipiash  in  the  absence 
of  Lieut.  Clarence  C.  Chaffee  who  is  in  the 
Army  Air  Corps,  while  Messrs.  Bullcck 
and  Colman  will  instruct  the  gymnastics. 
As  yet,  a  skiing  coach  has  not  been  ap- 
pointed. 

With    the   beginning  of    these   classes,

Ball  Games  Banished 
From  Laboratory  Field 

At  the  suggestion  of  a  trustee,  the  col- 
lege will  soon  reseed  the  entire  laboratory 
campus,  install  a  concrete  curbing  from 
the  Hopkins  steps  to  the  GargoN'le  fence, 
and  lay  cement  or  gravel  walks  where  the 
present  footpaths  have  been  worn.  No 
baseball  games  will  be  permitted  on  the 
lab  field  in  the  future. 

The  practice  of  playing  softball  games 
there  in  the  past  has  caused  considerable 
disturbance  to  students  in  the  over- 
crowded Physics  Lab,  and  has  worn  off  the 
grass.  The  new  curb  is  designed  to  pre- 
vent automobiles  from  turning  on  the 
lawn  in  front  of  Jesup  Hall.

Is  The  p.  T.  Program  Working?  (Con't.) 

Tlii.s  week  the  Dean's  Office  litt.s  placed  a  man  on  iio-cnl.s  for  two 
wcek.s  because  he  failed  to  respond  to  a  V.  T.  .stinimons  card  for  con- 
.seciitive  cntliiif;,  and  lia.s  Inriied  over  to  the  Coinmitlce  on  Di-sciplinc 
aiiotlier  .stiulenl  wlio  .signed  up  for  a  day's  credit  in  golf  l)nt  failed  to 
])lay.  The  (Committee  in  turn  placed  thi.s  man  on  i)robati()ii  for  the  re.st 
of  the  .semester.  These  positive  steps  to  enforce  the  war  P.  T.  iirogram 
offer  clear  evidence  that  the  college  is  willing  to  stej)  in  if  iindcrgradnate.s 
continue  to  disregard  a  primary  Williams  obligation. 

The  Dean's  Office  has  also  released  to  TiiJO  Kkcoui)  a  summary  of 
all  the  laws  governing  P.  T.  attendance,  which  is  jirinted  on  page  one. 
("on.se(|uently  ignorance  of  the  law  will  no  longer  .serve  as  a  valid  exeu.se, 
nor  will  undergraduates  have  a  right  to  expect  tiiat  the  unnecessary 
leniency  of  former  days  i.s  to  be  continued. 

From  P.  T.  Director  Bullock,  we  received  the  following  .statement 
yesterday:  "We  are  aware  of  the  fact  that  there  is,  as  always,  a  certain 
small  gronj)  attempting  to  get  by  with  the  least  possible  effort  and  they 
perhajis  spend  much  time  and  energy  in  dodging  V.  T.  Kventually  we 
catch  up  with  them  and  the  Dean  does  the  rest."  But  we  are  convinced 
that  the  "certain  group"  is  far  frtmi  ".small,"  and  believe  another  week 
of  .strict  enforcemenl  by  the  Dean's  Office  will  conclusively  prove  it. 
And  11  four  weeks,  when  we  again  report  to  the  college  comnuinity  on  the 
P.  T.  program,  wo  hope  to  declare  thiit  ijcnaltics  are  administered  not 
"eventually,"  but  immediately. 


Elections  and  the  'House  Line' 

This  week  members  of  the  three  upper  cla.s.ses  nominated  their 
])residenlial  and  Honor  System  representatives  —  nominated  them  under 
I'ndergraduatc  C'oiinei!  rules  much  as  they  did  last  year  and  the  year 
before. 

They  Moiniiiatcd  their  candidates  and  few  cpieslioncd  those  rules; 
few  wondered  whether  something  wasn't  wrong.  Something  was  wrong. 
The  members  of  the  three  upper  classes  were  not  and  are  not  a.ssured  they 
will  have  the  best  possible  representation.  Combined  with  general 
student  apatliy  and  liie  evil  of  simultaneous  presidential  and  Honor 
System  nominations  and  election,  the  "house  line,"  an  almost  inviolable 
tradition  that  meinhers  of  a  social  unit  delegation  will  back  one  of  their 
number,  has  jilaced  house  |)restige  above  individual  merit  in  selecting 
class  officers. 

The  nomination  of  a  candidate  now  de])ends  on  his  ability  to  olitain 
only  a  few  ont-of-hou.se  votes,  and  while  a  candidate  may  receive  a  num- 
ber of  votes  for  |)resideiit  and  some  more  for  Honor  System  representative, 
his  total  in  either  may  be  insufficient  to  secure  his  nomination.  At  the 
same  time  few  voters  look  beyond  the  "house  Hue."  Few  consider  thai 
the  three  unsuccessfnl  presidential  candidates  might  be  better  fitted  for 
the  Honor  System  position  or  vice  versa,  and  that  in  the  past  good  men 
have  been  "shelved  "  Few  voters,  in  effect,  consider  their  choice  .seri- 
ously. 

This  week  there  was  ample  evidence  of  the  "house  line."  The  iii- 
cogruity  of  simultaneous  nomination  and  election  again  made  itself  felt. 
Although  a  member  of  the  Honor  System  Committee  is  elected  for  the 
duration  of  his  college  career,  almost  every  member  of  the  present  com- 
mittee received  votes  for  renomination. 

The  Undergraduate  Council  Flections  Committee  ha.s  taken  stejis 
whieh  will  partially  remedy  the  second  fault.  .Vlthough  nominations  for 
the  two  positions  will  remain  intact,  the  final  election  ballots  for  Honor 
System  representative  will  be  (hstril)ute(l  Monday,  before  and  .se])arate 
from  those  for  class  president  because  of  the  greater  importance  of  the 
Honor  System  position  and  to  provide  a  fair  election  for  those  men  nom- 
inated for  both  positions. 

The  problem  of  simultaneous  nomination,  the  "hou.sc  line,"  and 
student  apathy  remain.  The  first  must  be  provided  for  through  direct 
Undergraduate  (\)uiicil  Icgi.slation  now.  The  .second  and  third  can  be 
corrected  through  IJ,  ('.  ajipeal  to  the  student  body  for  more  general 
recognition  of  the  importance  of  elections,  and  through  class  meetings 
especially  for  the  purpo.se  of  nomination.  So-called  "dinner  table  voting," 
which  leads  directly  to  the  "house  line,"  mu.st  and  can  be  eliminated.

department  has  definite  objectives  which 
may  be  stated  tiriefly  as  the  development 
of  organic  xigor;  neiiro-nuiscular  co- 
ordination, balance  and  skills:  iho  develop- 
ment of  interpiet.itive  power  an<l  judge- 
ment; the  development  of  emotional  con- 
trol, the  competitive  spirit  an<l  the  will  to 
win;  the  development  of  cooperation,  team 
play  and  leadership. 

Our  problem  is  not  one  of  muscles  alone 
but  it  is  to  assist  in  ileveloping  these 
qualities  in  nearly  800  stuilents  who  have 
varioHsteniperanients,  attitudes, capacities, 
and  degrees  of  physied  fitness. 

We  agree  that  ilaily  P.  T.,  especially 
at  this  time,  would  be  more  beneficial 
than  three  periods  per  week.     Because  a 


crowded  academic  schedule  has  priority 
rights  (claims)  on  the  studL-nts'  time  it  is 
difficult  to  arrange  a  suitable  P.  T. 
schedule  Many  students  rciiort  in  three 
dilTorent  class  hours  because  they  do  not 
have  the  same  hour  open  for  P.  T.  three 
times  per  week.  When  P.  T.  clas.sos  ,ire 
scheduled  between  two  academic  classes 
it  cuts  the  time  for  actual  work  to  .W 
minutes  in  the  gymnasium  and  2,S  minutes 
on  the  tennis  courts  because  we  musl 
allow  time  for  dressing  and  showers.  With 
all  four  classes  taking  P.T.  wo  now  have 
i2  periods  per  week.  Eight  of  these  will 
have  to  be  discontinued  Septeniber  1st 
when  the  Fait  intercollegiate  s<iuads  start 
practice. 

At  the  beginning  we  gave  the  freshman 
class  a  physical  fitness  test  .md  di\  ided  the 
class  into  four  groups  .according  to  their 
physical  fitness  indices.  We  hoped  to 
have  each  section  in  a  different  period  so 
wc  might  give  them  special  instruction 
that  some  needed.  This  plan  could  not 
l)e  worked  Irecause  tlicir  academic  classes 
had  l>cen  scheduled  earlier  and  the  differ- 
ent groups  could  not  be  kept  scparatc.l. 


Contrast  this  situation  to  the  Army, 
Na\-y,  and  Marine  camps  where  men  who 
have  passed  rigid  physical  examinations 
are  gi\en  six  to  eight  hours  of  vigorous 
physieil  activities  daily.  By  comparison 
it  takes  us  three  weeks  to  accomplish  the 
equivalent  of  one  day's  work  in  the  train- 
ing camps.  .Should  the  results  be  the 
same?  ^'.)ur  editorial  suggests  that  they 
should. 

'then  there  are  certain  pressure  groups 
who  want  something  different  because 
"it  is  good  exercise".  Farming  for  P.T. 
credit  was  s|)onsored  by  such  a  group  and 
the  idea  was  supported  by  the  Record. 
Your  issue  of  August  7  pictured  an  under- 
graduate supposedly  milking  a  left- 
handed  cow  for  P.  T.  credit.  An  article 
in  the  same  issue  states  that  farm  work  has 
l)een  varied,  "  .  ranging  from  digging 
topsoil  from  under  a  prospective  hen  house, 
through  hay  pitching  and  sheep  lierding, 
to  chopiiini;  the  weeds  and  grass  around 
(he  IS'W)  llonsj,  a  local  restaurant."  ll 
states  that  one  undergradu.ito  benefitted 
greatly  by  the  experience  to  the  tune  ,il 
"$2.00,  blood  blisters,  and  beers". 

We  are  in  favor  of  helping  the  farmers 
but  that  is  not  P.T.  Is  farming  more 
closely  related  to  P.T.  than  to  History, 
Economies.  Chemistry  or  Biology?  The 
"farmers"  were  not  excused  from  these 
courses  so  the  1896  House  might  be  made 
more  attractive  from  the  outside.  Why 
not  call  this  ",..  ..farcial  preparation  for 
the  gruelling  demands  of  the  armed 
services"  instead  of  picking  on  the  student 
who  hit  only  thirty  balls  while  taking  a 
lesson  in  beginners'  golf?  Thisstudeot  was 
required  to  take  two  golf  lessons  in  ad- 
dition to  one  period  of  calisthenics  for  the 
week. 

\ou  assumed  that  all  the  undergrad- 
uates would  eventually  lie  in  the  armed 
forces  and  that  the  sole  purpose  of  the 
department  was  to  prepare  them  for 
combat  with  the  enemy.  In  a  letter  to 
the  President  of  the  American  Association 
of  Health  and  Physical  Educ.ition,  Lieu- 
tenant W.  B.  Bayless,  U.  S.  Navy  Divis- 
ion of  .'\\iation  Training  wrote,  '  The 
'will  to  win'  spirit  is  considered  the  most 
important  factor  for  a  successful  Na\'al 
a\'iator.  Therefore,  il  will  iiol  he  necessary 
for  good  avialon  to  be  super-men  from  a 
physical  standpoint  as  long  as  the>'  have 
that  competitive  spirit  which  is  developed 
in  the  field  of  sp.)rt".  (The  italics  are 
mine.)  We  believe  that  golf  can  con- 
tribute something  toward  the  develop- 
ment of  this  spirit. 

We  realize  that  in  this  w.ir  it  is  a  case  of 
winner  take  all  and  that  there  is  no  prize 
for  second  place.  Our  program  of  activ- 
ities is  designed  to  develoj)  the  qualities 
stated  at  the  beginning.  Thes-.-  (pialities 
are  desirable  in  citizens  and  soldiers. 
We  believe  that  any  specialized  activity 
that  is  purely  military  in  purpose  and  scope 
should  be  left  to  the  experts  in  ch,-  train- 
ing canii>s. 

.^s  for  the  departnu'it  being  under- 
manned, we  do  miss  the  services  of  Mr. 
Chaffee  who  was  our  most  proficient  in- 
structor in  tennis  and  scpiash.  Wc  have 
made  adjustments  so  these  classes  are  in 
capable  hands.  In  the  inter-collegiate 
athletics  division  there  is  no  one  to  take 
Mr.  Chaffee's  place  as  coach  of  the 
\arsity  and  freshman  teams  of  tennis  and 
S(|uash  but  these  teams  are  not  under  the 
direction  of  this  department. 

We  are  aware  of  the  fact  that  there  is, 
as  .dways.a  certain  small  group  attempting 
to  get  by  with  the  least  po.ssilile  effort  and 
they  perhaps  spend  much  time  and  energy 
ill  dodging  P.T.  Eventually  we  catch  up 
with  tnem  and  the  Dean  docs  the  rest. 

Although  you  may  have  noted  that  all 
the  inferences  of  your  editorial  do  not 
meet  with  our  approval,  we  believe  that  it 
was  necessary  and  hope  that  some  good 
will  come  from  the  discussion  you  may 
have  started.

(Our  thanks  to  Mr,  Bullock  for  helping 
The  Record  bring  before  the  college  many 
of  the  fads  concerning  P.T.  Wc  still  stand 
behind  the  student-farmers;  certainly  they 
get  more  exercise  than  athletic-managerial 
compels,  who  get  two  P.T.  credits  weekly 
while  they  compete. — The  Editors.)

Travels      to      Tanglewood 
at     Koussevitsky's     Bid 

The  Williams  Glue  Club  immberiiiK  59 
leaves  for  the  Berkshire  Keslival  at 
Tanglewood  this  Saturday  to  sing  that 
evening  in  a  mixed  chorus  of  200  in 
Beethoven's  Ninth  Symphony  with  the 
student  orchestra  of  the  Berkshire  Music 
Center. 

With  Robert  G.  Barrow  as  director,  the 
Glee  Club  has  been  rehearsing  since  the 
lirst  week  in  July  for  the  concert  under 
Koussevitsky,  and  during  this  week  he  has 
been  assisted  by  Mr.  Hugh  Ross,  for  two 
years  connected  with  the  Berkshire 
I'estival. 

Mr.  Ross,  of  the  Schola  Cantoruin  of  the 
Juillard  School  of  Music,  is  assisted  this 
vear  by  Mr.  Iver  Jones,  and  with  Mr. 
Harrow  they  have  collected  the  chorus  and 
arranged  for  the  concert. 

This  concert  is  the  lirst  appearance  of 
,ny  Williams  organization  at  Tanglewood, 
Ijut  the  present  shortage  of  male  singers 
may  mean  the  Glee  Club  will  have  an 
opportunity  to  appear  alone  there  later  in 
(he  season.

"While  expanding 
golf  has  provided  W 
ti.illy  its  strongest  links  sciuad  in  a  decade. 
It  has  also  unfittingly  assured  college 
golfers  of  a  well-conditioned  course," 
I>ick  Baxter  declared  yesterday  as  he 
re\ii"wed  the  effects  of  the  war  o'l  jjolf  at 
Williams. 

Dick,  pro  at  Williamstown's  Taconic 
Coif  Club  and  college  golf  coach,  went  on 
to  explain  a  bi..  "We're  getting  an 
tiverage  of  .SO  student  golfers  a  day  now, 
and  with  practically  no  tourist  play  this 
summer,  this  student  turnout  has  helped 
no  end  in  enabling  us  to  meet  {■xpeiises  and 
keep  the  course  ope.n." 

.AKHi><taiit  Pro  Lea\iiijL!; 

Wi.li  the  labor  problem  getting  more 
critical  every  day,  Dick  expressed  the 
beliel  that  students  may  have  to  pitch  In 
and  spend  free  time  working  on  the  om-se 
next  summer.  Assistant  pro  Harold 
Perry  is  to  be  drafted  Monday,  anil  alter 
Labor  Day  only  two  men  will  be  on  hand. 
Perry  has  been  connected  with  the  club 
for  LS  years.  Beginners'  golf  will  bc' 
dropped  from  the  P.  T.  program  alter 
Labor  Day  so  Dick  can  spend  more  time 
on  the  course. 

In  spite  of  the  labor  problem  the  eoiiise 
is  in  ixcellejit  shape  and  compalsory  P.  T. 
has  caused  the  greatest  influx  in  play  since

"The  increased  ijlay,  along  with  llic 
fact  that  it's  summer,  and  the  boys  have 
three  months  of  golf  behind  t'lem,  has 
de\-i'loped  at  least  ten  men  who  consis- 
tently break  80  on  the  par  7.S  layout,"  s.ii  I 
the  coach,  getting  around  to  his  squad,

Frosh  Hat  Committee 

Purple     Knights     to     Play 
at  Gym  Dance,  Aug.  29 

Robert  B.  Kittredge  '4.S,  president  of 
the  I'ndergraduate  Council,  appointed  at 
this  week's  niet'ling  a  committee  to  look 
into  the  matter  of  freshman  hats.  H. 
Maynard  Oliver  '43  is  chairman  assisted 
by  David  W.  Brown  and  George  D. 
Lawrence  '43.  The  committee  will  in- 
vestigate the  matter  ami  suggest  a  policy 
to  be  followed  regardiiii;  the  length  of  time 
the  hats  are  to  be  worn  and  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  rule. 

The  U.  C.  also  strongly  recommends 
that  all  students  equip  their  bicycles  with 
lights  and  cease  from  riding  on  sidewalks. 
The  student  governing  body  warns  that 
local  action  will  soon  be  taken  unless  the 
matter  is  settled  at  once. 

The  U.  C.  has  passed  on  a  petition 
presented  to  them  for  the  scheduling  of  a 
dance  in  the  Lasell  G>'mnasium  August 
29.  The  petition  was  recently  passed  by 
the  S.A.C.  The  Purple  Knights  will 
provide  the  music. 

Rev.  A.  Grant  Noble,  chairman  of  the 
Allied  Relief  Committee,  announced  to- 
day that  $500  had  been  collected  in  the 
weekend  sale  of  tags.  Each  of  the  five 
branches,  including  China,  Great  Britain, 
Greece,  Holland,  and  Russian  relief,  will 
receive  $100.  "This  response  was  much 
above  our  most  optomistic  hopes,"  de- 
clared Dr.  Noble.

new  to  the  A.  M.  T.  stage.  Miss  Murphy 
has  had  considerable  college  dramatic 
experience  through  her  acting  in  such  plays 
as:  Brother  Rat,  Flyaway  Home,  Gloria

Bayard  R.  Kraft  '43  is  cast  in  the  other 
lead  role  of  Walter  Burns,  managing  editor 
of  the  Herald  Examiner.  Having  parti- 
cipated in  summer  theatre  acting  and  held 
lead  parts  in  both  Marco  Polo  and  Much 
Ado  About  Nothing,  Kraft  is  well  fitted  for 
the  role. 

Described  as  "atmospherically  veracious 
and  emotionally  exciting,"  The  Front  Page 
is  a  good  newspaper  play  with  a  breathless 
melodrama  superimposed  upon  it.  It  is 
loud,  rapid,  coarse,  and  unfailing  enter- 
tainment. Brooks  Atkin,son  of  the  New 
York  Times  describes  the  play  in  the 
following  terms,  "Set  in  the  press  room  of 
the  Criminal  Courts  Building  in  Chicago, 
it  stirs  up  reporters,  criminals,  politicians, 
wives,  and  sweethearts  into  a  steaming 
broth  of  excitement  and  comedy."

Faced  with  the  prospect  of  jihiying  no 
outside  gtimes,  the  varsit;'  hicrosse  team 
is  planning  to  meet  the  Mohawk  .\thletic 
Club  ;it  Schenectady,  N.  \.  .August  22  and 
tigain  in  a  return  game  iit  Williamstown

The  .Mohawk  Club  consists  mainly  of 
Union  graduates  and  General  Electric 
Employees.  "Since  they  are  older  men," 
commented  Coach  Whoops  Snively, 
"they  |)lay  a  clever  game  and  use  all  the 
tricks,  which  shouhl  make  the  t  ,vo  games 
plenty  interesting." 

.-Mthough  he  has  not  derided  definitely 
who  will  take  the  field  in  the  starting 
line-up,  Coach  Snively  revealed  that  Bob 
Buck,  Rog  Hubbell,  and  Don  Lindsay 
will  probably  make  up  the  inner  attack, 
and  Captain  Dave  Brown  will  be  in  the 
goal.  Ed  .Sheffield  will  definitely  figure 
in  the  starting  line-up.  Coach  Snively 
added,  but  the  position  he  will  |)lay  is 
undecided.

pitched  six-hit  ball  until  he  retired  in  favor 
of  a  pinch-hitter  in  the  eighth.  In  the 
meantime  the  Purple  wasted  little  time  in 
getting  revenge  for  their  earlier  7-1  de- 
feat by  the  Plastics,  as  they  pounded  out 
eleven  safeties  for  seven  tallies.  .Six  of 
these  binglcs  came  off  the  bats  of  the  three 
freshmen  in  the  line-up,  with  Al  Dulcan 
leading  the  way  with  three  for  three.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  AUGUST  14,  1942 


M.  J.Boniiy  Noted  Economist,  Says  Battles,  Not 
German  Economic  Collapse,  Will  Win  War 


"Tin-  riiitod  Nalions  will  nut  win 
World  War  II  by  tlic  icondinic  collapse 
of  (KTiiiaiiy,"  stati'd  Morilz  J.  Bonn, 
world  riMiimni'd  I'l-ononiist,  in  an  interview 
yesterday,  as  he  took  time  off  from  the 
rewriting  of  his  Crumhlinf.  of  Empire. 
which  first  appeared  in  lO.iS.  "There 
never  has  been  a  lar^je  war  \el  which  has 
not  liei'M  won  on  the  baltlefiehl." 
Working  in   Williamstown 

A  professor  at  the  l.oiulon  School  of 
Economics  and  at  several  American 
universities  since  his  departure  from 
Ciernuiny  in  1933,  Dr.  Bonn  is  spending 
his  vacation  in  Williamstown  where  he  is 
making  u«e  of  the  Stetson  Library  in  his 
work.  Dr.  Bonn  first  came  here  in  1924 
when  he  delivered  a  lecture  on  "The 
Crisis  of  European  Democracy"  at  the 
Institute  of  Politics.  He  also  spoke  here 
two  years  later  al  a  round  table.  .Since 
that  lime  he  has  heconie  an  Enjjlish 
cit  izen. 

"Germany's  financial  set-up  is  neither 
socialism  nor  slate  capitalism."  Dr. 
Bonn  declared.  "The  possession  of  prop- 
erty is  recognized,  but  the  use  of  properly 
is  completely  controlled:  Germans  are 
allowed  to  make  money,  but  not  allowed 
to   use  it." 

Technical  Directors 

The  farmer  and  manufacturer  are  nolh- 
mn  more  than  technical  directors  of  their 
respective  enterprises,  he  wenl  on.  Dr. 
Bonn  amplified  this  by  sayinR  that  they 
are  told  what  to  produce,  where  to  get  the 
raw  materials  and  ihe  labor,  and  what  to 
do   with  the  finished  product,  with  prices

"The  government  obtains  its  income  by 
issuing  treasury  bills,"  he  continued. 
"Since  many  people  have  good  incomes 
ami  alniosi  all  goods  are  rationed,  there  is 
a  good  deal  of  surplus  cash  in  the  country." 
The  (lerman  nmst  put  his  extra  money 
either  in  a  hank  or  his  own  pocket.  "In 
llie  bank  it  is  from  time  lo  time  recjuired 
lo  be  used  to  subscribe  to  government 
hjaiis.  'Those  who  hoard  their  money  in 
any  great  amounts  find  it  very  hard  to 
explain  to  the  government,"  he  saiil. 
Economic  Difficulty 
"As  long  as  the  war  goes  well,  Ger- 
many's economic  systeiu  will  not  back- 
fire," Dr.  Bonn  went  on.  "Economic 
difficulty  would  arise  if  the  total  output 
of  goods  is  no  longer  physically  large 
enough  to  keep  the  workers  able  to  do 
their  work  efficienlly."  If  such  a  con- 
dition arises,  he  implied,  the  Germans 
will  alreadv  be  losini;  I  he  war  on  the  battle- 
fields. 

"Germany's  financial  status  has  been 
greatly  bettered  by  I  he  exploitation  of  the 
conquered  countries."  he  asserted,  "for 
not  only  have  the  Nazis  supported  their 
armies  on  their  subjugated  territories,  Ijut 
they  have  drained  con<iuered  manpower 
into  German  war  industries."  Now  the 
Germans  are  having  their  greatest  econ- 
omic troubles  in  securing  enough  workers 
for  their  war  industries,  he  added. 

Dr.'  Bonn  claimed  that  there  was  a 
certain  amount  of  black  market,  with  the 
party  members  the  gri'atest  offenders, 
since  they  are  not  bound  by  the  laws. 
He  declared  that  they  carry  on  a  lot  of 
bo()lle},'ging  not  only  for  ihemselves  but 
for  other  people. 

"1  do  not  think  thai  il  is  possible  for 
Germany  to  conquer  the  I'nited  States," 
he  concluded.  "But  if  Germany  is  not 
defi'aled,  any  peace  thai  arises  will  not  be 
a  i)eace,  but  niereh"  an  annislice."

Intranuiral  Softball  enters  its  final  week 
of  scheduled  competition  with  the  Delta 
Phi  nine  still  sporting  an  undefeated 
record.  Results  of  the  past  week's  play 
finds  the  Chi  Pais  in  undisputed  pos- 
session of  the  second  slut,  t he  Zetes  having 
dropped  two  encounters.  The  D.  U.'s, 
by  virtue  of  three  wins,  sneaked  into  third 
place  knocking  the  Zetes  from  a  tie  for 
seconil  to  fourth.  'Three  wins  and  no 
losses  boosted  the  Phi  Gams  another 
slot  while  the  Phi  Delts  jumped  from 
ninth  to  sixth  position. 

The  D.  U.'s  and  Chi  Pais  still  have  a 
bare  lualhematical  chance  of  capturing 
the  title  if  they  win  the  rest  of  their  games 
while  the  D.  Phis  drop  their  last  three 
contests. 

Having  downed  the  Chi  Psis  by  a  6  to 
3  score  on  'Tuesday,  the  Delta  Phis  are 
scheduled  lor  another  thriller  Friday  when 
they  encounter  the  Zetes. 

'The  Zetes  figured  in  two  outstanding 
games  of  ihe  week,  losing  both  of  iheni, 
to  the  Phi  Gams  12  to  3,  and  to  the  D.l'.'s 
7  to  1 . 

In  their  crucial  encounter  with  the 
D.  Phis,  the  Chi  Psis  usually  light  field- 
ing fell  down  in  the  clutches  lo  make  the 
scattered  1).  Phi  hits  more  than  enough. 
Four  cjf  the  first  five  Chipsies  connected 
for  solid  blows  and  a  three  run  burst  was 
fashioned  around  Dave  Thurston's  double. 
D.  Phi  pitcher  'Ted  Richardson  then 
throttled  the  opposition  for  the  rest  of 
the  game  allowing  no  further  hits.  In 
their  other  game  the  Delta  This  crushed 
pitcher  Tom  Hoover  and  the  A.D.'s  in 
administering  a  10  to  2  sct-baek  featured 
by  a  homer  and  triple  by  the  winner's 
Tom  T'owler. 

'The  Phi  Gams  surprised  the  Zetes 
12  lo  3,  slugging  their  way  to  victory  l)e- 
hind  pitcher  Tom  Powers  who,  in  turn, 
aided  his  cause  with  a  resounding  homer. 
The  Phi  Gams  added  two  more  to  the 
win  column  b>*  downing  ihv  Alpha  Delts 
and  Sigs  by  3- 1  and  5-4  scores  respectively. 

The  pitching  of  Denver  Williams  plus 
good  fielding  and  hitting  set  the  D.  U.'s 
back  into  the  race  with  a  week's  r<'Cord  of 
three  wins  and  no  defeats.  Highlighting 
this  record  was  yesterday's  7  to  1  win  over 
the  Zetes  built  around  a  fourth  inning 
splurge  when  the  winners  piled  up  all  of 
their  runs. 

The  faculty  nine  recovered  from  last 
week's  debacle  with  the  Phi  Gams  to 
defeat  both  the  D.  1  .'s  and  A.  D.'s  in 
priming  themselves  lor  next  week's  en- 
counter with  the  Delia  Phis.  Outstand- 
ing in  the  7-4  win  o\er  the  D.  U.'s  was 
Frankie  Themis'  stellar  playing  at  short- 
stop while  Tom  Wood,  converted  to  left 
field,  provided  the  fielding  spark  for  the 
8-2  win  over  the  A.D.'s.  A  triple  with 
the  bases  loaded  off  the  bat  of  hard-hitting 
I'"rcd  Stocking  aided  Charlie  Keller  to 
victory  against  the  Alpha  Delts. 

Freshman  inters(|uad  baseball  finds 
team  A  still  clinging  to  the  number  one 
jjosition  despite  two  losses  in  this  week's 
play.  In  second  place  is  team  B  with 
an  even  five  hundred  average  of  four  wins, 
four  losses.  Team  C  trails  with  three 
wins  and  four  defeats.  T'eature  play  of  the 
week  was  a  triple  play  pulled  bj'  team  A. 
Bob  Weintraub  lined  out  to  second  base- 
man Phil  Cady  who  in  turn  pegged  the 
ball  to  Bill  Arkin  at  third  nipping  George 
Wright  olT  the  bag.  Arkin  relayed  the 
ball  to  first  baseman  Bob  Broman  catch- 
ing Bob  Durkee  for  the  third  out. 

Interclass  golf  starts  next  week  with 
freshman-sophomore  and  junior-senior 
matches  scheduled.  Captains  for  the 
respective  four-man  teams  are:  seniors,

I.eetnring  to  a  jiicked  group  of  high- 
ranking  .■\rniy  officers  in  the  University  of 
Virginia's  Clark  Hall,  Prof.  M,ix  I.ernerof 
the  political  science  department  played 
one  of  the  most  important  teaehi  ig  roles 
in  the  coieUry  this  June  while  on  vacation 
from  Williams.  The  Army,  training  its 
first  class  of  military  governors  for  future 
U.  .S.-occupied  foreign  lands,  chose  Dr. 
Lerner  to  teach  classes  in  the  character  of 
the  C.erman  and  Italian  mind  and  ideo- 
logy. 

Dual  Problem 

"Our  problem  is  a  dual  one,"  Dr.  Lerner 
|)ointed  out.  "Wo  must  understand  the 
mentality  of  the  (k'rinan,  Italian,  and 
Japanese  people  to  be  able  to  deal  with 
th.?m,  as  well  as  learn  the  techniques  of 
civil  administration  to  keep  our  basic 
public  services  going  in  the  face  of  hostile 
and  bitter  nations." 

The  plan  of  this  now  Army  measure, 
originated  by  several  of  the  younger  offi- 
cers in  the  war  department,  has  been  well- 
prepared.  Dr.  Lerner  said.     In  the  wake 


of  advancing  United  States  military  iurm 
the  commanding  general  in  each  llu'.uor 
of  war  will  apjioint  a  civil-affairs  ollie<  i  and 
staff  to  replace  local  government,  si  i  up 
courts,  and  preserve  order  until  pe;ir,'  is 
e.rtahlished. 

Muck  Triiilit 
In  prep<iration  for  this  task  officeis  in 
the  Army's  new  school  stage  mock  liials, 
study  military  and  civilian  governn  at, 
history,  social  psychology,  and  geopoli, ics. 
The  experienc'.'s  of  the  armies  of  ocmpa- 
tion  in  the  first  World  War  have  also  !i,cn 
studied  very  carefully.  Dr.  Lerner  .  y. 
plained.

'Record'  Presents  Outline  of  Opportunities 
For  War  Service  Available  to  College  Men

(This  is  the  fint  of  two  arlides  designed

for  college  men  in  the  various  brunches  of

In  all  branches  of  the  nation's  war 
efTort,  military,  governmcnail,  ijidustrial, 
agriculiural,  and  civilian,  opportunides 
for  patriotic  service  are  open  lo  eolU'gv

those  openi.ngs  are  in  the  draft  and  on  a 
deferred  basis  in  the  Army,  .Army  .Mr 
Corps,  and  Civilian  Aeronautics  .'\dniinis-

The  Draft:

types  of  training  which  ([ualify  draftees 
for  the  specific  schools  follow:  general 
business  management — yuarteriiiiister 
Corps;  electricil  engineering — Signal 
Corps;  engineering  Corps  of  Engineers; 
a.nd  economics  and  banking — Finance 
Department.  Applicants  not  prepareil  in 
any  of  these  fields  may  be  best  fitted  for 
the  Army's  combat  branches — the  infan- 
try, armored  force,  ca\alry,  chemical  war- 
fare, or  field  artillery  tmits. 

Through  this  deniocratically  planned 
system  college  students  have  the  best 
chance  for  advancement ;  at  present  over 
ninty  per  cent  of  all  oliicers  have  at  least

56%  of  Students 
Receive  Warnings 

Upper-Class  Notices  Are 
Heaviest  in  Six  Years; 
1946    Worst     Since    1929 

Ay  Paul  L/Etisls  '44 

(The  Record  reporter  has  drawn  the 
conclusions  j^resented  below  aftiT  a 
thorough  survey  of  the  sixteen  social 
groups. — The  Editors.) 

The  Dean's  Oliice  this  week  issued 
warnings  to  56.1',  of  Williams  students, 
representing  the  larije -i  percentage  since 
the  fall  semester  in  r'36.  This  rise  was 
felt  in  all  four  classi-,  although  the  fresh- 
man mark  of  69',  rclipsesall  marks  since 
the  fall  of  1929. 

In  discussing  the  widespread  increase  in 
warnings,  Thomas  J.  Wood,  director  of 
admissions,  said,  "This  increase  is  due  in 
part  to  students  taking  courses  in  which 
they  do  not  have  the  recpiisite  aptitude,  in 
order  to  compb  with  reserve  reciuirements. 
There  are,  however,  a  sufticient  number  of 
warnings  in  normal  courses  to  raise  the 
percentage  above  average." 

Performances  of  Freshmen 

Attention  was  again  focussed  on  the 
performances  of  the  freshmen  of  the 
various  social  groups.  There  is  a  very 
real  connection  between  the  house  attitude 
towards  the  scholastic  performances  of  the 
freshmen,  and  their  marks.  This  attitude 
manifests  itself  in  two  ways: 

1)  It  influences  some  houses  in  the 
order  of  their  final  lists  during  rushing. 
'This  is  not  widespread,  and  every  house  on 
the  campus,  without  exception  will  take 
one  or  two  "scholastic  risks"  to  get  a  good 
man.  But,  as  Thomas  S.  Powers,  '43, 
Phi  Gamma  Delta  president  said,  "What 
good  does  it  do  you  to  got  a  good  man  for 
only  three  months?"  Some  of  the  houses 
that  took  into  account  the  scholastic 
records  of  the  class  of  1946  were  Phi 
Gamma  Delta,  Phi  Sigma  Kappa,  and 
Sigma  Phi.  The  effects  of  this  are 
apparent  in  the  chart  of  freshman  warn- 
ings. Statistics  on  members  of  the  class 
of  1946  were  made  available  to  all  frater- 
nities through  the  rushing  office  in  June. 

Perfunctory  Motions 

2)  Measures  are  taken  to  help  freshmen 
in  their  studies  after  pledging.  Some 
houses  adopt  an  aggressive  program,  while 
others  go  through  pcrfunctorj-  motions. 
'The  techniques  of  giving  aid  vary  widely. 
Most  houses  have  scholarship  committees 
of  one  kind  or  another.  One  of  the  most 
popular  methods  of  help  is  posting  a  list, 
or  otherwise  notifying  the  freshmen,  of 
juniors  and  seniors,  and  the  departments 
in  which  they  are  majoring.  Other  houses 
select    qualified    upperclassnien    to   tutor

In  tile  seventh  the  ice  was  broken,  with 
each  team  tallying  a  run,  but  it  was  not 
until  the  tenth  that  the  Ephs  could  bunch 
enough  of  their  nine  hits  to  counter  again. 
Donovan's  low  drop  was  so  etfeclive  in

Schuman  Predicts  Fall  of  India  to  Japanese; 
Only  Roosevelt  Action  Can  Prevent  Disaster 


"If  there  is  no  action  by  the  President 
of  the  United  .States  to  settle  the  conflict 
in  India  within  six  weeks,  India  will  be 
occupied  by  the  enemy  within  the  next 
six  months,"  predicted  Frederick  L. 
Schuman,  Woodrow  Wilson  Professor  of 
Ciovernmcnt,  Saturday  in  a  Political 
Science  ,S  lecture.  This  warning  followed 
by  four  days  his  a.nd  Prof.  Max  Lerner's 
4.^1-word  tctegram  to  President  Roose- 
velt urging  the  Chief  Executive  to  arbi- 
trate the  Indian  problem. 

Will  Crush  Resistaiire 

"Furthermor,^,"  declared  Dr.  Schuman, 
"If  India  falls  to  Japan,  the  resistance  of 
China  and  Russia  will  be  crushed,  the 
enemy  will  be  supreme  in  all  of  Europe, 
and  another  attempt  at  an  in\asion  of 
Britain  will  begin." 

In  an  interview  yesterday,  Mr.  Schuman 
revealed  that  no  acknowledgement  has 
been  made  by  the  White  House  of  his  and 
Dr.  .Lerner's  telegram. 

"Yesterday,"  lectured  Dr.  Schuman, 
"the  United  Nations  celebrated  the  first 
annivers<iry  of  the  Atlantic  Charter,  yet 
despite  the  clause  that  we  shall  'respect 
the  right  of  people  to  choose  their  own 
government,'  no  mention  was  made  of 
India  by  any  of  our  leaders." 

Political  Blunder 

Professor  Schuman  referred  to  Britain's 


recent  Amcry  decri'e,  which  dissolved  the 
All  Indian  National  Congress  and  jailed 
Mohandas  K.  C.andhi  and  other  prominent 
Indians,  as  one  of  the  greatest  political 
blunders  ever  made  by  the  British. 

One  of  two  things  will  restilt  from  this 
blunder,  he  stated.  Either  the  Congress 
will  be  crushed  or  there  will  lie  a  civil  war 
in  India,  with  the  British  oppressing  the 
Indians  in  a  worse  manner  than  that 
Japanese  or  Nazis  have  yet  had  to  employ. 
"If  Congress  is  crushed,  then  the  Japanese 
will  complete  the  contjuest  of  India  with 
the  aid  of  the  Indians  within  three  months. 
If  there  is  civil  strife,  then  th.'  Japanese 
will  conquer  India  within  six  months,  with 
the  aid  of  sullen,  disillusioned  Indians." 
Aiiti-Itrilisli  Keeling 

All  of  this  will  result  in  "an  enormous 
increase  in  anti  British  feeling  in  China, 
Russia,  and  the  Ihiitcd  States,"  he  con- 
tinued. "There  will,  moreover,  be  a 
growing  conviction  of  colonials  and  of  all 
the  people  in  the  world  that  there  is  little 
to  choose  between  the  United  Nations  and 
the  Axis,  that  the  British  ruling  class  is  as 
bad,  if  not  worse,  than  the  Nazis  and  the 
Japanese." 

The  only  way  that  this  situation  can  be 
avoided,  he  asserted,  is  by  the  intervention 
of  President  Roosevelt  in  the  name  of  the

A.E.RC.Enlistment 
Party  Set  to  Visit 
Campus  Thursday 

Those  Planning  to  Join 
Urged  to  Take  Action; 
Williams  Quota  Unfilled 

.Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
announced  Wednesday  that  the  Mead- 
(|iiarters  for  the  First  Corps  Area  of  the 
r.  S.  Army  in  Hoston  plans  to  send  an 
enlistment  party  of  the  Army  Enlisted 
Reserve  Corps  to  the  Williams  campus 
next  'Thursday,  August  27.  'This  visit 
will  provide  an  opportunity  for  all  those 
students  |)laiinin^;  to  join  the  A.  E.  R.  C. 
to  complete  their  enlistment  and  be  offi- 
eialh'  sworn  in. 

Equivalent  toV-1 

'The  \.  E.  R.  C"..  till'  .Army  equivalent 
to  the  Navy's  special  \'-l  program,  is  de- 
signed to  insure  for  the  Army  a  future 
source  of  qualilied  officer  candidates. 
I'nder  preseni  conditions  the  War  Depart- 
ment believes  that  the  large  niajorily  of 
.students  should  remain  in  college,  but  if 
the  necessitN  of  war  demands,  the  Secre- 
tar\'  of  War  may  call  all  members  of  the 
Enlisted  Reserve  to  active  rluty. 

An  h.  K.  R.  C.  quota  has  been  estab- 
lished for  the  First  Corps  Area  embracing 
most  of  .\ew  England.  Williams  has  been 
assigned  a  share  in  this  (|Uota — to  be 
distributed  among;  the  four  cla.sses,  the 
lari;est  to  freshmen,  the  smallest  to  seniors. 
Quota  Not  Exceeded 

To  date  the  total  college  quota  has  not 
been  exceeded.  Howe\er,  in  the  e\eiit 
an\-  individual  class  quota  is  over  sub- 
scribed, it  is  possible  that  adjustment  may 
he  made  through  discussion  between  the 
Army,   the    individual,    and   the  college. 

Since  this  is  probably  the  only  time  this 
yenr  th.Hl  ;mi  A.  E.  k.  C,  .-nlistmcnt  party 
will  visit  the  Williams  campus.  Dr.  New- 
hall  urges  all  students  planning  to  enlist 
to  do  so  at  this  opportimily.  'The  Army 
Wiiiils  to  clear  up  the  enlistment  of  the 
four  classes  now  in  college  this  fall.  In 
the  future  only  incoming  freshmen  will  be 
enlisted.

Koussevitsky  Praises 
Glee  Club  Performance 

Singing  of  Male  Parts 
Unsurpassed,      He     Says 

liefore  an  audience  of  between  (\vv  and 
six  thousand  the  Williams  Glee  Club  sang 
last  Saturtla>'  evening  at  the  Berkshire 
Festival  in  a  mixed  chorus  Beethoven's 
Choral  Symphony,  the  male  parts  of 
which,  according  to  Conductor  Sergei 
Koussevitsky,  were  sung  as  well  as  he  had 
ever  heard  them. 

In  a  conversation  with  Robert  G.  Bar- 
row, director  of  the  Glee  Club,  and  Hugh 
Ross,  who  is  coiiiH'Cted  with  the  Festival, 
Mr.  Koussevitzk\  gave  the  greatest  praise 
to  the  perfoiniance  and  particularly 
lauded  the  male  parts  of  I  he  chorus. 
OtTiitted  from  Program 

The  chorus  consisted  in  all  of  180 
singers,  ninety  of  them  being  female  stu- 
dents from  the  Berkshire  Music  Center. 
Of  the  remaining  number,  fift\-nine  were 
members  of  the  Williams  Cdee  Club, 
though  nil  mention  of  this  was  made  by  the 
programs  given  out  at  the  concert. 

The  performance  took  ])lace  after  a 
brief  rehearsal  under  Mr.  Koussevitzky  in 
the  aftenionn,  the  music  being  played  by 
the  student  orchestra  of  the  Berkshire 
Music  Center.

to  the  mother  of  I^anman  T.  Holmes  '11,  who.sc  twin  brother,  Lieut.

WARNINGS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
freshmen    in   courses  in    which    they    are 
having  difhcully. 

Chi  Psi,  Kappa  Alpha,  and  Phi  Gamma 
Delta  re(|uire  that  freshmen  record  their 
marks  on  a  large  chart  as  they  come  in,  and 
this  technicpie  is  being  adopted  by  other 
houses.  The  Delta  Psi  scholarship  com- 
mittee appoints  members  to  discuss  their 
papers  and  hour  tests  with  freshnuii, 
giving  special  attention  to  marks  of  C-  or 
wor.se,  and  also  tries  to  help  with  papers 
before  they  are  handed  in . 

5  Nights  Each  Week 

The  study-hall  method  is  widely  used. 
Some  fraternities  make  attendance  at  the 
Stetson  Library  compulsory  (or  freshmen 
several  nights  a  week,  until  they  raise  all 
their  grades  to  C.  The  Chi  Psis  hold 
study  ball  live  nights  a  week  for  those  wit  h 
more  than  two  warnings.  Alpha  Delta 
Phi  holds  its  study  hall  in  the  house,  but 
other  fraternities  reject  this  method  be- 
cause it  does  not  give  results.  Zela  Psi, 
initiating  a  study  hall  s\-stein.  has  ex- 
tended compulsory  attendance  to  sopho- 
mores in  difficulty. 

Most  of  the  fraternities  have  some 
mechanism  for  contacting  the  faculty  in 
efforts  to  help  the  first  year  men.  Sigma 
Phi  invites  members  of  the  faculty  to 
spoak  on  alternate  VVodnesclay  nights,  and 
the  Phi  C.amma  Delta  and  Hcta  Thet.t  Pi 
send  cards  to  professors  aski'i^  for  sug- 
gestions in  helping  nnvi.  Conferences 
between  seniors,  freshmen,  and  facult\ 
represent  a  metho.l  of  help  that  has  not 
been  employed  to  any  great  extent. 

Rcronimoiid  Kcuiliii^  Cloiime 

Kappa  Alpha  and  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
are  quick  to  refer  freshmen  in  difficulty  to 
William  G.  Perry,  assistant  to  the  Dean, 
for  instruction  in  study  methods,  and  re- 
commend the  reading  course  he  gives  each 
semester. 

Frank  R.  Thorns,  '^0,  resident  manager 
of  the  Campus  Business  IVIanagemcnt,  has 
stressed  the  importance  of  scholastic  help 
from  the  social  groups,  as  it  affects  the 
economic  welfare  of  each  group,  in  a  letter 


j      Because  of  the  draft  Joseph  J.  Lee,  a

their   power   to    insure    themselves   from 
further  loss  by    members   being  dropped 
because  of  low  academic  standing. 


Study  Charts 

"Some  houses  already  have  set  up 
systems  to  handle  this  problem,  and  it 
seems  to  me  only  good  sense  to  do  such  a 
thing  before  any  damage  has  been  do:u^ 
In  the  past,  fraternities  had  schedul 'd 
study  sessions,  study  charts,  study  p;'riods 
at  the  house,  tutoring,  etc.  after  they  dis 
covered  th  it  a  man  was  weak  in  one  or 
more  subjects. 

"With  only  three  classes  in  college-  after 
I'ebruary,  it  will  be  nccess^iry  to  openite 
as  economically  as  possible.  Taking  this 
step  will  prevent  further  aggravation  of  a 
problem  that  is  going  to  be  with  us  any- 
way."

Correctible  to  20/ 40 

A  physical  examination  according  to 
Army  standards  must  be  taken  by  each 
applicant  before  enlisting.  The  Army 
plans  to  accept  candidates  with  a  visual 
accuity  of  20-200,  if  correctible  to  20-40. 
Those  who  rate  lower  than  20-100,  but  not 
lower  than  20-200,  will  be  eligible  for 
ccmimissions  in  the  Medical  Adminis-

the  Ordnance  Department,  the  Chemical 
Warfare  Department,  the  Adjutant  Gen-

Service  of  the  Army  Air  Force. 

Professor  Newhall  also  revealed  the 
possibility  of  there  being  a  joint  recruiting 
party — made  up  of  representatives  of  the 
A.  E.  R.  C,  the  Navy  \-l  program,  and

Amherst  Harvesting  Onions 

Onions,  potatoes,  tobacco,  and  dairy 
products  are  the  chief  crops  heing  harvest- 
ed in  the  vicinity  of  the  college,  and  they 
liave  caused  a  mobilization  of  under- 
.^raduate  labor  that  is  unprecedented  in 
Amherst  College  history.  Any  afternoon 
during  the  summer,  a  dispatcher  nia\'  be 
seen  standing  in  fnmt  of  the  large  Alumni 
('■ymnasium,  sending  off  truckloads  of  from 
three  to  thirty  boys  with  the  local  farmers

however,  the  terms  "Kauntleroy"  and 
"Oswald,"  once  common  in  the  fields  and 
warehouses,  have  (lied  out  enliiel>-. 

Ideal   for  Job 

I'he  farmers  are  verj'  ph-asid  with  the 
help  they  are  getting.  Their  opinions 
coincide  in  great  part  with  the  men  in 
this  vicinity  who  have  been  using  Williams 
undergraduate  aid:  they  believe  that  even 
I  hough  students  mi,nht  not  be  able  to  carry 
the  work  load  throughout  a  ten  hour  da\- 
j  over  any  period  of  time,  on  the  afternoon 
basis,  they  are  ideal  fcjr  the  jiih. 

The  faculty  and  college  authorities  are 
also  plainly  in  favor  of  the  plan,  with 
several   of  their  number  actualU-   taking

pay  the  prevailing  scale  of  wage  for  their 
help,  and  Amherst  men  have  been  garner- 
ing fifty  cents  an  hour  for  their  trouble, 
with  the  weekly  record  of  ten  dollars  now 
established.  The  plan  has  by  no  means 
hit  its  peak  w'ith  one  orchardist  calling 
for  forty  men  over  the  week-end  in  earh' 
.September.  He  has  promised  to  trans- 
port, feed,  and  provide  sleeping  (iiiarters 
for  his  apple  pickers.  The  college  has 
granted  permission  for  the  men  signed  b\ 
this  farmer  to  take  the  necessary  cuts. 
P.T.  Credit  for  Farming 

The  Amherst  student-farmer  project  is 
a  formal  part  of  the  college  athletic  cur- 
riculum. When  the  call  came  into  the 
college  authoiities,  it  was  turned  over  to 
Albert  K.  Lumley,  cross  country  coach, 
and  the  work  immediately  took  the  place 
of  running,  with  credit  given  on  physical 
training  bases.  At  this  writing,  the  farm 
project  has  a  larger  registration  than  base- 
ball, soccer,  lacrosse,  and  summer  football 

The  predominantly  Polish  population 
of  the  valley  was  freely  contemptuous  of 
the  college  youths,  whom  they  connected 
with  snappy  convertible  cars  and  playful 
Smith  College  girls,  when  they  first  took 
to  the  fields.     Now  that  the  work  they

U.C.  Passes  New  Laws 
OnPost-Season  Rushing 

Governing      Body     Warns 
P.    T.    Is    Regular    Class 

Monday  the  Undergraduate  Cmincil 
took  action  on  the  post-season  rusliiiig 
rules.  The  old  law  read  that  during  iln- 
two-week  neutral  period,  houses  could 
not  entertain  any  freshmen  in  whom  thi\ 
were  interested. 

The  student  governing  body  has  now 
i  added  to  the  rules  so  that  they  coincide 
with  those  instituted  during  the  periml 
belnre  regular  rushing.  Members  of  ,i 
hou-r  which  have  g;iven  a  bid  to  a  certain 
freslmian  must  not  have  any  contaei 
with  him  whatsoever  during  the  neutral 
period.  Freshmen  will  now  be  told  what 
fraternities  are  interested  in  them  al  the 
beginning  of  the  two-week  interval,  in- 
stead of  just  before  the>'  are  pledged. 
I  he  penalty  for  breaking  these  rushing 
rules  will  he  a  six  month  period  in  which 
no  freshman  can  be  pledged  to  the  offend- 
ing  house. 

P.  T.  Now  Enforced 

The  I'ndergraduate  Council  has  in- 
structed its  members  to  warn  their 
fraternities  that  P.  T.  is  now  considered  a 
regular  class  and  pen.ilties  for  over  cutting 
and  consecutive  cutting  will  be  enforced. 
The  student  gii\<  rning  body  also  asks 
that  undergraduate  ■  register  their  bicycles. 
Mert  O'Dell,  c.iiiipus  night  watchman, 
has  provided  a  bn\  on  the  first  floor  of 
Jesup  Hall  in  which  these  registrations 
can  be  placed.  Students  should  put  their 
name,  the  color,  make,  and  number  of  the 
bicycle  on  the  card. 

College  Band  Gets  New 
Outfits  for  '42  Season 

A  newly-reorganized  Williams  College 
Band,  with  new  music  and  new  uniforms, 
will  open  operations  for  the  coming 
\ear  with  a  meeting  on  Monday  at  7:30 
in  Jesup  Hall.  All  prospective  members, 
including  freshmen,  are  expected  to 
attend. 

Among  the  novel  innovations  of  the 
40-piece  organization  is  an  arrangement  of 
"The  Mountains,"  properly  orchestrated 
by  Joaquin  Nin-Culniell,  assistant  pro- 
fes.sor  of  music,  for  the  first  time  in  the 
histor\'  of  the  c<}llege.  Several  new 
inarches  will  also  be  added  to  the  band's 
repertoire. 

Five  marching  drills  and  at  least  three 
musical  rehearsals  are  planned  before  the 
opening  appearance  of  the  organizatiim 
at  the  first  home  football  game  against 
Middlcbury,  September  26.  By  that  time 
last  year's  caps  and  capes  will  definitely 
be  discarded  In  favor  of  a  new  uniform 
which  is  now  being  designed  and  approv- 
ed.

Bomber  Crash  Kills 
Von  Kuster  Ex-'41 

Best  Friend  Also  Badly 
Injured  When  U.S.  Plane 
Strikes     African     Desert 

While  piloting  a  I'.  S.  Army  bomber 
over  a  desert  region  of  Africa  several  weeks 
ago,  I'aul  von  Ruster,  Jr.  ex-'41  crashed  lo 
his  death,  according  to  a  War  Department 
telegram  recently  sent  to  his  parents,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Paul  von  Ruster  of  Minneapolis, 
Minn.  Severely  injured  in  the  crash  was 
von  Ruster's  boyhood  friend,  William 
Waters,  wdio  was  acting  as  navigator  on 
the  bomber. 

Sudden  Change  in  Orders 

No  further  details  of  the  accident  were 
related  by  the  telegram.  Von  Ruster, 
however,  had  not  been  in  Africa  long, 
because  two  weeks  liefore  the  arrival  of  the 
telegram,  he  had  telephoned  his  parents 
from  West  Palm  Heach,  Fla.  Detailed 
by  the  10th  detachment  of  the  Army  Air 
Force  to  the  air  ferry  c(nnmand,  he  had 
been  sent  to  Africa  under  a  sudden  change 
in  orders.  Until  shortly  before  his  de- 
parture for  Africa,  von  Kuster  had  been 
scheduled  to  take  a  bnniber  to  China. 

After  leaving  Williams  at  the  end  of  his 
.sophomore  year,  von  Kuster  went  to  the 
I'niversity  of  Minnesota,  in  order  to 
specialize  in  aeronautics.  He  enlisted  in 
the  Army  Air  Force  on  July  16  of  last 
year,  and  took  his  basic  training  at 
Bakerslield,  Cal.,  wheie  he  was  awarded  a 
medal  as  the  outstanding  cadet  in  his 
class.  He  was  later  connnissionecl  a 
lieutenant  at  Luke  F\M.  Ariz. 
'A  Great  Pilot' 

According  to  Waters'  father,  the  news 
that  von  Kuster  was  lo  pilot  the  bomber 
on  which  his  son  was  m  r\ing  as  navigator, 
was  extremely  pleasant  to  both  father  and 
son.  Waters  spoke  of  von  Ruster  as  "a 
great  pilot." 

\'on  Ruster,  who  was  t  went\-three  >ears 
(jlil  at  the  time  of  his  death,  was  a  member 
of  Theta  Delta  Chi  at  college.  During  his 
first  year  at  Williams,  he  wrestled  on  the 
freshman  team.

Indian  leaders  like  it  or  not. 

(Jiioting  Winston  Churchill  as  having 
said:  "Sooner  or  later  you  will  ha\'e  to 
crush  Gandhi,  the  Indian  Congress,  and  all 
they  stand  for,"  Dr.  Schunuin  pointed  out 
that  I  lie  British  themselves  have  not  been 
able  and  will  not  be  able  li  settle  their 
(liff.  leiices  with  the  Indians. 

If  IVesidcnt  Roosevelt  intercedes.  Dr. 
Scliiiinnn  claimed,  an  agreement  must  be 
reached  whereby  the  British  release  all  of 
their  iiolitical  prisoners  in  India  and  the 
Indians  in  turn  call  olT  their  threats  of 
c'i\il  disobedience.  As  far  back  as  1940, 
he  explained,  the  British  have  held  some 
■lO.OOO  political  prisoners.

made  permanent  after  the  war."  Monday 
evening,  August  31,  they  will  meet  John  J. 
Egan  and  Douglas  D.  Royal,  who  reached 
the  finals  by  out-pointing  Newton  P. 
Darling  and  Leonard  B.  Sclilosser,  when 
they  will  debate  for  the  fresh  man  cham- 
pionship on  either  the  retail  sales  tax  or 
wage  ceiling  problems. 

It  is  expected  that  the  Adelphic  Union 
itself  will  send  six  teams  into  the  All- 
College  tournament  which  will  begin 
I'hursday,  September  10.  The  revelation 
that  there  are  several  good  teams  in  the 
freshman  tournament  promises  strong 
competition  from  the  class  of  1046.  Com 
pulsor\'  chapel  or  divisional  re(|uirements 
in  a  war  curriculum  will  be  two  of  the 
topics  offered  applicants  who  will  be 
allowed  to  decide  the  tournanu'iit  topic. 

The  teams  will  be  composed  of  two  men 
each,  and  applications  must  he  on  Assis- 
tant Professor  Robert  F.  Young's  desk  by 
Tuesday,  September  1.  Single  applica- 
tions will  be  accepted,  and  the\  will  be 
teamed  at  the  applicant's  convi'iiience  by 
the  Adelphic  Union. 

The  varsity  debate  squad  will  maintain 
the  affirmative  of  the  topic  "Resolved: 
That  Congress  shall  impose  a  retail  sales 
tax"  against  Dartmouth  in  Griffin  Hall 
Saturday,  August  29.  If  any  non-member 
of  the  Union  is  interested  in  this  topic,  he 
.should  get  in  touch  with  Professor  Young 
or  Frederic  S.  Nathan  '43,  president  of  the 
Adelphic  Union.

SERVICES 


Local  Record  Drive 
Collects  3,550  Discs 

The  Williamstown  drive  to  collect 
victrola  records,  part  of  a  nation-wide 
program  to  salvage  valuable  shellacs  and 
provide  entertainment  for  ser\'ice  men, 
ended  last  Saturday  night  with  a  total  of 
35,S0  records  contributed.  Although  the 
sum  is  just  800  short  of  the  prescribed 
quota,  Frank  Laniphicr,  chairman  of  the 
drive,  .iiiiiounced  that  he  was  pleased  with 
the  results,  because  for  a  town  its  size 
Williamstown  had  an  unusually  high 
quota  lo  fill. 

The  national  drive  ainasseil  27  million 
records,  he  said.  Williams  College  itself 
furnished  at  least  1500  of  the  discs  col- 
lected locally.  Merton  O'Dell,  campus 
policeiiian,  received  praise  from  Lainphier 
for  his  part  in  the  drive.  O'Dell  gathered 
360  records  from  students  |)ersonally  and 
hamled  them  in,  as  well  as  taking  care  of 
records  that  were  contributed  in  good 
condiiion. 

One  of  the  most  oiit.-il.inding  contri- 
butions, pointed  out  l.aniijhier,  \\as  the 
gift  of  a  complete  symphony  to  the  drive 
by  Dr.  X'anderpoel  .Adriance  '10. 

The  rjcords  htive  been  packed  in  ten 
Iwj.xes,  each  contaii'ing  from  100  to  .>00 
discs,  and  w'll  he  sent  to  the  Columbi  i

they  tilled  the  bases  with  none  out,  but  a 
pair  of  force  outs  at  the  plate  and  a  lon^ 
fly  ended  the  canto  without  damage. 

On  their  side  of  the  ledger,  the  Eplis 
played  good  ball  behind  Donovan.  In  the 
seventh  after  a  walk,  a  sacrilice,  and  Chet 
Massa's  double  produced  the  visitors'

Ueilly  led  off  with  a  single,  advancing  to 
third  on  a  sacrilice  and  an  infield  out, 
Dulcan  then  drove  him  home  with  a  single 
through  the  box. 

In  the  eighth  and  ninth  the  Purple  went 
down  in  order,  but  Bridgewater  started 
the  tenth  with  a  line  single  to  left,  Dulcan 
bunted  him  to  second  from  where  he

Sophomore  Never  Down

OIT  to  ;i  quick  three  up  leatl  on  the  first 
six  holes,  sophomore  Charlie  Heuer  hung 
on  to  top  Don  Lindsay,  4  and  3,  last 
Monday  a.nd  win  the  annual  college  golf 
championship.  The  later  half  of  the 
match  was  a  gi\'e  and  take  duel  with 
Heuer's  strong  start  ])roving  the  deciding 
margin  in  his  third  tournament  victory 
this  summer.  He  won  the  Taconic 
Invitation  several  weeks  ago  a.nd  during 
vacation  annexed  the  Philadelphia  junior

Several  hooked  dri\es  .uid  a  stubborn  \ 
ptittcr  proved  Lindsay's  dawnfall,  Heuer: 
split  the  middle  with  long  hits  off  the  tee  i 
and  o.nly  once  did  lie  miss  the  fairway  in  ! 
this  department,  Lindsay  failed  to  match  ' 
this  tee-to-green  play  ,ind  could'i't  make 
it  up  w  ith  recovery  p., its,  i 

Heuer  took  the  first  with  a  biril  and  a  | 
string  of  five  regiilatiiin  pars  added  two 
more  holes,  the  fotirili  ami  the  sixth,  before 
Lindsay  had  his  lirst  opening.  After  the 
seventh  was  liahi'd  in  bogeys,  Lindsay 
made  a  great  reeoNery  to  take  the  short 
eighth  with  a  four.  Heuer  was  trapped  i 
and  three  luitteil. 

The  margin  went  to  three  again  at  the . 
turn  as  Heuer  hit  the  long  par  five  ninth  | 
in  two  and  holed  out  with  a  birdie  four.  \ 
He  wi'nt  four  up  on  eleven,  but  Lindsay 
missed  six   Uv.x  putts  on   the  tenth  and 
twelfth  to  liabi'  die  holes.     Lindsay  won 
the  thirteen  v\  ilh  a  par  but  it  was  all  over 
when   he  misseil  the  green  on  the  short 
fifteenth  and  Heuer  registeretl  a  par  three. ; 

Heuer.  lasi  \  ear's  ruiDier-up.  won  his  [ 
w-ay  to  the  final  with  5  antl  4  victories  a.nd  ! 
was  never  dow  'i  to  Lindsay.  He  beat  i 
Mill  Schlosser,  Bill  Courter,  anil  Bob! 
McKee,  the  defending  cham|)ion.  He  i 
tied  for  medalist  honors  in  the  qualifying 
round  with  Pete  Davis.  Lintlsay,  on  the 
other  hand,  had  a  tough.'r  time  of  it. 
downing  Jo'.'  Lee  in  the  opening  round  and 
then  upsetting  Davis  and  Munro  Steel. 

Three  Williams  golfers  entered  the 
\orth  Adams  Invitation  tournament  lasI 
weeke'id.  Joe  Lee  won  the  third  flight 
while  Heuer  and  Capt.un  I'red  Barnes

eliminated.  Barnes  scored  76  in  the ,

WILLIAMS  COLLEGE, 


James  Announces 
Approved  Rushing 
Program   for  Fall 

No  Prowling,  Short  Hours, 
and  Dinner  Dates  Are 
Included     in     Procedure 

The  F'all  Rusliiiif;  Program  as  released 
Ijy  KushiiiK  Chairman  Ahin  G.  Jamrs  '43 
\ tsterday  will  bcRin  on  October  3  and  will 
incorporate  several  technical  changes  and 
,1  general  condensation  of  the  June  pro- 
cedure. The  portion  of  the  sixty-odd 
Ireshnien  to  be  alloted  to  each  social 
organization  has  tentatively  been  set  at 
three. 

Though  Chairman  James  amiuunced 
that  the  present  plan  "seeks  In  make  no 
alterations  in  the  spirit  of  that  program  as 
approved  by  the  Undergraduate  Council," 
earlier  this  year,  it  does  feature  three 
direct  changes  in  its  new  application. 

Foremost  of  these  innovations  is  the 
elimination  of  the  prowling  period,  which 
is  designed  to  cut  three  days  from  the 
usual  rushing  time.  T"he  unusually  small 
number  of  entrants  is  making  this  moxi' 
possible. 

Four  at  Dinner 
Kor  the  same  reason,  the  economy  real- 
ized in  dispensing  with  the  dinner  date  in 
the  first  1942  Rushing  Period  will  be  of  no 
great  importance,  and  houses  are  allowed 
to  entertain  the  prospective  pledges  at  the 
dinner  table.  This  change  is  being  met 
with  great  approval  in  the  campus  where 
tlu'  dinner  dale  is  considered  the  fairest 
and  most  potent  rushing  tactic.  With  no 
(■\lra  help  ami  little  extra  footl  needed  to 
handle  the  calculated  four  rushees,  the 
popular  old  custom  is  well  in  keeping  with 
I  he  restrictions  set  by  the  times. 

For  the  benelit  of  all  involved,  the 
ever)ing's  rushing  h.is  been  shortened  in 
hours  if  not  in  actual  dates,  the  first  period 
still  divided  into  sixteen  sections  and  the 
second,  into  six.  Beginning  with  the 
dinner  date  on  Sunday,  October  18,  how- 
ever, the  meal  will  extend  over  a  full  hour 
and  the  subseiiuent  dates  for  no  more  than 
forty-five  minutes. 

Shorter  Periods 
In  the  second  period,  the  dates  will  also 
be  no  more  than  forty-five  minutes,  hut 
the  dinner  date  will  not  be  used  and  the 
rushing  will  start  at  7:00  p.  m.  This 
device  gives  the  same  number  of  dates  as 
heretofore,  and  the  same  preferential  and 
sub-preferential  arrangement  combined 
with  a  great  shortening  of  time.  Ihc

D.  Brown  Assumes 
3-Sport  Captaincy 

To  Lead  Cross-Country; 
Plansky  Calls  Practice 
for     Four-Meet     Season 

Traditio'i  fell  by  the  wayside  Tuesday 
evening  when  David  W.  Brown  '4.S  was 
elected  captain  of  the  1942  cross-councry 
team,  making  him  the  only  college  athlete 
in  recent  Williams  history  to  hold  the 
captaincy  of  three  varsity  sports  simul- 
taneously. This  summer  he  piloted  the 
lacrosse  team  from  the  goal  and  was  named 
to  lead  the  ski  team  at  the  close  of  the 
w  inter  season. 

Brown,  a  member  of  Theta  Delta  Chi, 
is  also  a  Gargoyle,  a  member  of  the  Under- 
graduate Council,  president  of  Purple  Key, 
chairman  of  undergraduate  treasurers,  and 
a  member  of  the  Williams  Outing  Club. 
He  has  for  two  seasons  played  goalie  on 
the  lacrosse  outfit,  and  last  winter  annexed 
second  place  in  the  National  Amateur 
Skiing  Championshipfi. 

Practice  Under  Way 

Under  the  watchful  care  of  coach  Tony 
Plansky,  this  season's  crop  of  potential 
cross-country  men  reported  for  the  first 
practice  of  the  summer  term  Tuesday 
afternoon.  With  his  eye  on  a  successful 
defense  of  the  Little  Three  crown,  Coach 
Plansky  hopes  to  mold  a  strong  team  from 
liis  roster  of  three  returning  squadmen  and 
several  promising  sophomores  up  from 
last  year's  freshman  ag2rega,.ion.

Niebuhr  has  been  preaching  the  tloctrine 
of  "Militant  Christianity"  since  the  out- 
break of  the  war.  He  has  stood  firm  in 
opposition  to  the  pacifist  movement  spon- 
sored by  the  Christian  Century,  and  has 
won  acclaim  by  his  definition  of  a  Chris- 
tian's place  in  a  fighting  world.

Apple-pickers  and  Lake 
Fail  to  Stop  Smedley 

Despite  the  economic  coercion  of 
three  apple-pickers  and  the  annual 
caustic  comments  of  the  Boston 
American's  Austen  Lake,  construction 
work  to  beautify  the  lab  campus  goes 
on,  under  the  rigid  supervision  of 
Perry  A.  Smedley,  superintendent  of 
grounds  and  buildings. 

On  the  first  day  of  work  three  men 
twice  demanded  higher  wages  or  a 
return  to  apple-picking.  Smedley 
returned  them  to  apple-picking.  A 
second  obstacle  was  sportswriter 
Lake's  annual  lament  that  at  Williams 
"every  grass  blade  is  combed  like  a 
gigolo's  scalp  and  every  sidewalk 
manicured  like  a  dainty  lady's  finger- 
nails." 


Baxter  Returns  From 
Assignment  In   London 

President  James  Pliinney  Baxter,

Washington,  U.  C,  after  five  weeks 
in  London  on  a  "special  mission"  for 
the  W'ai   Information  Service. 

It  is  expected  that  Dr.  Baxter  will 
be  in  Williamslown  for  a  short  sla\ 
ne.xt  week.  In  order  that  he  might 
have  suflicient  time  to  accomplish 
bis  task  in  the  British  capital,  the 
tru.stres  of  the  college  voted  last 
month  to  extend  Dr.  Baxter's  lea\(nf 
absence  until  October  11,  when  he  will 
return  to  Williamstown  to  assume  his 
presiiii'iitial  duties  on  a  five-day  w cek-

Students   to   Test 
Political  Attitudes 

Will  Investigate  Records 
Of  Congressmen ;  Plan 
Public    Opinion    Survey 

C(ni\inced  that  the  "riirreiu  congress- 
ional eampaigns  will  ha\e  a  critical  effect 
on  the  ability  of  the  liiited  States  to 
part  ieipate  effectively  in  winning  both  the 
war  am!  the  peace,"  Instructors  Thomas 
II.  LaiM}n  and  James  M.  Burns  '39  have 
decided  to  send  their  14(1  Political  Science 
1-2  students  into  the  political  arena  itself 
for  a  weekend  of  opinion-sampling  to  dis- 
cover tlie  attitude  of  John  Q.  Public 
towards  his  Congressman's  past  record 
and  present  platform. 

Armed  with  a  theoretical  basis  of 
American  government  acquired  in  class- 
rooms, the  amateur  Dr.  Gallups  will 
attempt  to  gain  first-hand  knowledge  of 
the  practical  workings  of  eoiitenii)orar\' 
pcilit  ics  as  lhe\' affect  the  man  inihe  street. 
From  this  insight  into  public  opinion,  and 
on  the  basis  of  their  field  investigations 
conducted  over  the  Labor  Day  weekend, 
the  students  will  try  to  predict  the  out- 
come ot  tile  congressi(»iial  race  in  their 
district. 

Congressman  and  Ten  Voters 

Everyniic  will  lirst  stud\'  the  voting 
record  of  the  Congressman  who  represents 
his  home-town  district,  and  then  write  his 
representative  for  an  explanation  of  the 
reas(jns  behind  his  stand.  The  next  step 
will  be  to  present  this  record  to  at  least  ten 
voters  from  as  wideU'  divergent  economic 
and  social  groups  as  po.ssible,  tabulating 
their  reactions  indi\'idually. 

Each  student  will  then  make  an  eval- 
uation   of    thi'    [lolitical    situation    in    his

Tweedy '42  Killed  While 
Bombing  Jap  Warship 

Helps  Sink  Kaga  Carrier 
In     Battle     of     Midway 

Details  concerning  the  death  of  Albert 
W.  Tweedy  ex-'42  during  the  Battle  of 
Midway  Island  on  June  4  and  5  have  just 
reached  the  Alumni  Office,  according  to 
Edwin  H.  Adriance  '14,  Alumni  Secretary. 
In  the  July  10  issue  of  The  RECORD, 
Tweedy  had  been  reported  missing  after 
the  battle,  in  accordance  with  information 
previously  sent  the  Alumni  Office  by 
Richard  M.  Whidden  '42,  secretary  of 
last  year's  graduating  class. 

In  a  letter  by  one  of  Tweedy's  .squadron 
mates  to  the  former's  mother,  it  is  .stated 
that  he  had  been  killed  on  June  4  by 
Japanese  anti-aircraft  fire,  after  his 
bomber  had  dropped  a  cargo  of  heavy 
bombs  upon  one  of  the  two  Japanese 
carriers  sunk  during  the  battle.  It  is 
believed  that  as  the  bomber  pulled  away 
from  its  target,  it  was  critically  hit  by  the 
barrage  of  "ack-ack"  fire  sent  up  by  the 
Japanese. 

One  Huitdred  Percent 

The  writer  of  the  letter,  an  Amherst 
graduate  of  several  years  ago,  went  on  to 
.say  that  Tweedy  must  have  at  least  had 
the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  he  had 
done  a  "one  hundred  percent"  job  in

'44  Quota  Oversubscribed 
The  President's  Olliee  reveals  that  the 
junior  class  quota  has  been  heavily  iiver- 
subscribed.  In  the  light  of  this  situation 
a  committee  of  six  faculty  members, 
headed  by  Acting  President  Kicbard  .'\. 
Newhall,  has  selected  enough  men  to  till 
this  (piota. 

To  relieve  the  situation  as  much  as 
possible,  most  of  the  juniors  have  been 
given  earl\  appointments  with  the  enlist- 
ment board.  If  any  of  these  men  have 
alread\'  joined  some  other  branch  of  tbi; 
service  or  do  not  wish  to  enlist  in  the

50%  of  Applicants  Are 
Tentatively         Accepted 

Of  fifty  students  applying  yesterday  in 
the  Lasell  C.ymnasiuni  for  enlistment  in 
the  U.  S.  Navnl  reserve,  both  \-l  and 
V-7  programs,  the  visiting  Joint  College

applicants  pending  further  information. 
Williams  shares  honors  with  .Amheriit  in 
being  the  first  colKge  visiteu  by  the  Board 
this  summer. 

Providing  the  twenty-five  men  are 
finally  accepted,  they  will  be  sworn  in 
about  two  weeks  from  today.  During  the 
one-day  stand  sixty  to  sixty-five  inquisitive 
prospective  Apprentice  Seamen  and  Mid- 
.shipmen  stopped  in  at  the  gymnasium  to 
iiiquire  about  the  programs  and  take  the 
physical  exams.  The  steady  influx  of 
students  helped  to  relieve  the  heavy 
pressure  on  the  Army  Reserve  Corps  en- 
listments, which,  unlike  the  U.  S.  N.  R., 
has  a  definite  quota. 

"It  was  as  good  a  turnout  as  we've  had," 
said  Ensign  William  Shelmerdine,  Jr. 
U.  S.  N.  R.,  one  of  the  members  of  the 
Board.  Throughout  the  day  the  officers 
handed  out  forms  to  students,  adminis-

Hell  Week  In  Wartime 

TiiK  Rf.cokd,  October  10,  1941:  "William.s  fraternity  men  have  al- 
ways felt  that  it  i.s  a  jirivilege  to  be  a  fraternity  man.  They  have  al- 
ways felt  that  fre.shmen  .sliould  realize  initiation  night  means  much  more 
than  a  long-awaited  jaunt  to  the  goat  room.  And  because  they  have 
always  felt  this  way,  Williams  fraternity  men  have  long  supported  Hell 
Week. 

"But  it  is  impossible  to  believe  that  the  ])rc'sent  'wet'  acts  of  Hell 
Week  —  threats  of  branding,  twenty-mile  hikes  on  wintry  nights,  jjarad- 
ing  with  guns  before  the  gym  —  have  ever  convinced  a  single  freshman 
that  he  was  about  to  share  in  a  great  privilege.  It  is  impossible  to  believe 
that  drinking  twenty  glasses  of  water  at  a  single  meal  or  being  threatened 
with  'black  marks'  has  ever  i)repared  a  single  freshman  for  the  proper 
exercise  of  that  privilege." 

And  July  31,  1912:  "The  'atrocities'  of  Hell  Week  can  be  completely 
abolished  by  swift  Untlergraduatc  Council  action.  Fraternity  induction 
proceedings  shoukl  be  restricted  to  formal  initiation  and  the  memorizing 
of  pertinent  house  data.  Economy  of  time  and  money,  the  necessity  for 
emphasizing  scholarship  over  ridiculous  stunts,  the  obligation  to  face 
present  events  seriously  and  rationally  all  make  the  abolishment  of  the 
old  Hell  Week  absolutely  essential." 

But  today,  less  than  a  week  before  the  first  wartime  Hell  Week  begins, 
we  find  that  the  Undergraduate  Council  has  been  unwilling  to  pass  an 
iron-bound  rule  that  Hell  Week  activities  be  restricted  to  no  more  than 
three  days.  True,  the  U.  C.  has  "recommended"  that  IlcU  Week  not 
start  before  Monday,  and  has  ruled  that  it  end  Thursday.  True,  also, 
that  the  U.  C,  has  "urged"  that  no  fraternity  force  its  pledges  to  go 
through  any  antics  outside  the  house  proper.  But  this  is  not  the  action 
which  public  opinion  will  demand  of  Williams  fraternities;  nor  is  it  the 
action  needed  to  guard  the  freshman  class,  heaviest  warned  since  1929, 
against  unnecessary  waste  of  study  time  and  energy  next  week. 

This  .summer,  while  the  government  dogmatically  asserts  that  every 
college  man  has  a  strict  obligation  to  tackle  his  work  to  the  best  of  his 
ability,  some  Williams  fraternities  are  considering  the  old  four  or  five  day 
Hell  Week.  This  will  result  in  an  unnecessary  waste  of  study  or  recrea- 
tion time  for  all  undergraduates  concerned,  will  give  the  community  the 
reasonable  impression  that  we  are  still  overly  engrossed  in  our  own 
frivolous  good  times,  and  will  ]}lace  the  heavily  warned  class  of  1946  under 
trivial,  but  nerve-wracking  and  time-expending,  obligations. 

This  is  our  belief:  Hell  Week  should  be  restricted  to  the  learning  of 
fraternity  history  and  ideals,  and  to  the  formal  processes  of  initiation. 
Everything  else,  whether  "wet"  act  or  other  device  to  produce  fear  or 
humiliation,  should  be  abolished.  If  freshmen  cannot  obtain  delegation 
solidarity  without  the  old  Hell  Week,  if  they  cannot  ai)preciate  the  real 
privilege  of  belonging  to  a  Williams  fraternity  without  being  harassed 
by  adult  men,  if  ujjperclassmen  are  unwilling  to  give  up  the  "idiocies"  of 
Hell  Week  because  lliey  must  have  revenge  for  their  own  freshman  year's 
"taking  down,"  llien  Williams  fraternities  are  not  founded  upon  firm  rock. 


Letter  to  the  Editor 


The  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 

An  Evaluation  —  1941-1942 

The  enthusiastic  reception  accorded  Cap  &  Bells'  production  of  The 
Front  Page  last  Friday  and  Saturday  must  have  been  gratifying  to  di- 
rectors Max  Flowers  and  Oren  Parker,  and  to  all  those  who  helped  make 
the  play  successful.  But  above  all,  we  hope  the  enthusiasm  of  the  audi- 
ences on  those  two  nights  signifies  the  beginning  of  a  dramatic  rejuvena- 
tion at  Williams. 

A  year  and  a  half  ago,  when  the  .ji.lOO.OOO  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 
was  first  o]K'neil  to  the  ])ublic,  all  of  us  hoped  that  the  long-suffering 
Williams  dramatic  groujis  would  at  last  be  given  a  new  deal  —  an  o|)por- 
tunity  to  develop  their  talents  in  a  theatre  that  one  prominent  drama 
critic  has  called  the  "finest  exiicriniental  plant  in  America." 

But  these  expectations  were  too  sanguine.  The  necessary  supervision 
of  the  use  of  the  theatre  facilities  turned  into  a  system  of  red-tapism  which 
discouraged  many  groups  from  production  efforts  they  otherwise  would 
have  made.  Misunderstandings  between  undergraduates  and  faculty 
over  the  use  of  the  theatre  left  the  public  confused  and  puzzled.  Some 
flay  the  new  Theater  Production  Council  as  "the  keystone  of  the  present 
hierarchy  of  red  tape,"wliile  others  believe  "better  cooperation  between 
the  AMT  and  outside  producing  groups  will  now  be  possible."  Of  only 
one  thing  can  we  be  certain:  that  not  until  recently  has  the  AMT  started 
on  the  long  path  towards  becoming  the  living  center  of  campus  creative 
effort  and  entertainment. 

We  fully  realize  that  in  the  establishment  of  the  new  theatre  many 
problems  arose  which  faculty  and  undergraduates  had  never  confronted 
before.  We  refrained  from  editorial  comment,  first  because  we  found  it 
difficult  to  get  a  clear  picture  of  AMT  difficulties,  and  second  because  we 
lacked  constructive  .suggestions.  Sometimes  we  felt  the  plays  produced 
were  of  a  complicated  character,  and  afforded  little  training  opportunity 
for  inexperienced  candidates.  Sometimes  we  felt  too  much  emphasis 
was  laid  on  technical  training  in  production  and  on  the  manufacturing 
of  scenery.  Sometimes  we  felt  publicity  was  extremely  poor.  Sometimes 
we  thought  the  trouble  was  in  the  directing,  sometimes  in  the  acting. 

We  don't  pretend  to  know  what  lay  back  of  our  past  dissatisfaction 
with  AMT  offerings,  but  we  do  know  that  The  Front  Page,  the  recent 
successful  one-act  plays,  the  coming  performance  of  Trial  by  Jury,  which 
AMT  is  staging  with  cooperation  from  the  Glee  Club,  and  the  future 
offering  of  Fall  of  the  City  give  hope  that  the  AMT  will  now  realize  its 
great  potentialities. 


To  the  tiditors  of  'I'HB  RECORD; 

As  1  have  observed  ttie  effects  on  campus 
opinion  of  certain  criticisms  of  ttie  war 
efforts  of  the  United  Nations,  it  has  seemed 
to  nie  lliat  tlie>-  have  failed  to  accomplish 
their  intended  purpose.  That  purpose, 
beyond  a  doubt,  was  to  malce  people 
realize  the  gravity  of  the  situation,  and  so 
to  spur  them  to  redouble  their  efforts.  To 
a  considerable  extent,  however,  it  has 
seemed  to  me  that  much  current  criticism 
has  served  chiefly  to  arouse  distrust  of  our 
own  government  and  its  allies,  and  to 
paint  such  a  picture  of  the  futility  and 
inadequacN'  of  the  war  efforts  of  the  United 
Nations  as  to  produce  hopelessness  and 
apathy. 

A  case  in  point  is  the  current  criticism  of 
the  British  handling  of  the  Indian  crisis. 
Adniitling  that  there  is  ample  ground  for 
criticism,  what  should  be  the  purpose  of  it? 
Surely  not  to  create  the  impression  that 
the  British  government  is  solely  to  blame 
for  the  present  impasse,  or  that  ininietliate 
grant  of  independence  to  India  would  at 
once  solve  all  problems  and  involve  no 
risks.  Yet,  unless  I  am  much  mistaken, 
such  are  the  ideas  that  many  Americans 
now  hold.  The  result  of  criticism  which 
leaves  such  impressions  is  to  arouse  hatred 
and  distrust  of  the  English  willioul  in  the 
slighlest  imy  contributing  to  a  solution  of 
the  problem.  It  is  to  play  into  the  hands 
of  isolationists  like  Senator  Reynolds,  who 
care  nothing  for  India,  but  who  see  a 
magnilicent  opportunity  to  advance  their 
campaign  of  isolationism  under  cover  of  a 
pretended  zeal  for  American  principles  of 
freedom. 

Just  so  the  idealists  of  1919-20,  who 
criticized  President  Wilson  for  making 
certain  concessions  at  Versailles,  played 
into  the  hands  of  isolationists  and  partisan 
politicians  and  contributed  nuich  to  the 
defeat  of  the  treaty.  The  ill  effects  of 
their  criticisms  did  not,  unfortunately,  end 
there,  for  just  because  they  were  made  by 
sincere  idealists  many  Americans  are  still 
persuaded  that  nothing  good  can  ever  be 
expected  from  Europeans,  and  that  they 
can  never  be  persuaded  to  co-operate  sin- 
cerely in  any  kind  of  effort  for  the  main- 
tenance of  peace.  The  results  in  1919-20 
were  the  failure  of  the  United  States  to 
enter  the  League  of  Nations  and,  what  was 
worse,  an  enduring  legacj-  of  prejudice  and 
distrust  of  Europeans  which  remains  to 
this  day  as  one  of  the  chief  obstacles  to 
American  participation  in  an\-  kind  of  an 
international  organization  for  the  preser- 
vation of  peace. 

Criticism  to  be  helpful  should  be  timely. 
The  kind  of  criticism  which  is  invaluable 
at  one  time  may  be  positively  harmful  at 
another.  Numerous  instances  could  be 
cited  where  impatient  idealists  have  done 
almost  irreparable  harm  to  the  cause  which 
they  wished  to  advance.  The  Abolition- 
ists may  be  cited  as  a  pertinent  example. 
After  doing  invaluable  work  in  arousing 
American  opinion  io  tlie  evils  of  slavery 
they  became  impatient  and  embittered 
because  they  could  not  secure  speedy 
political  action,  denounced  the  government 
and  the  politicians,  and  stigmatized  the 
Constitution  as  a  covenant  with  death  and 
an  agreement  with  hell.  When  therefore 
the  South  rebelled,  they  would  do  nothing 
to  help  preserve  the  Union.  If  they  did 
anything  during  the  dark  days  of  1861-65 
except  to  indulge  in  savage  criticism,  his- 
tory docs  not  record  the  fact.  It  was  not 
the  Abolitionists  but  Lincoln,  the  patient 
and  magnanimous  statesman,  who  said 
that  he  would  save  the  Union  with  or 
without  slavery,  who  both  saved  the  Union 
and  destroyed  slavery. 

The  moral  of  this  is  not  that  criticism 
should  be  withheld,  much  less  suppressed, 
but  that  at  a  time  like  this,  when  every- 
thing conduces  to  discouragement,  and 
when  it  is  easy  to  fall  into  the  apathy  of 
despair,  those  who  are  in  a  position  to 
influence  public  opinion  should  consider  it 
an  obligation  to  avoid  arousing  feelings  of 
hatred  or  prejudice  against  those  who  are 
fighting  with  us,  whether  they  be  Russians 
or  English,  that  they  should  consider  it  an 
obligation  so  to  criticize  the  war  effort  of 
our  own  government  as  not  to  leave  the 
impression  that  our  cause  is  already  lost.

Whittemore   Named 
To   Assist   Osterhout 

Charles  P.  Whittemore  '43  was  yester-

Grid  Squad  Practices 
Feature   Calisthenics 

Football  wasn't  football  for  fifty- 
five  varsity  candidates  who  this  week 
went  through  their  first  full-squad 
practices.  Fundamentals  and  calis- 
thentics  were  stressed  as  Fielding 
Simmons  was  heard  to  mutter  some- 
thing about  footltiU  training  being 
five  times  hiirder  iliaii  any  the  Navy 
recjuired.  Conlaei  work  to  satisfy 
the  he-men  begins  this  week.  To 
keep  his  squad  cm  e<lge  Coach  Charley 
Caldwell  promises  a  cut  just  before 
Labor  Day  vacation.  Because  of  the 
four  day  lay-off  over  the  Sept.  6  week- 
end, Caldwell  is  planning  to  hold  full 
practice  this  Saturday.

Students  Top  Navy 
In  Physical  Tests 

Bullock  Claims  They  are 
'Not  Valid  or  Reliable 
Measures      of      Fitness' 

The  average  Williams  undergraduate 
can  do  23.7  push-ups,  9.3  pull-ups,  43.9 
body  levers,  and  can  broad  jump  89.9 
inches  from  a  standing  position,  accord- 
ing to  the  results  of  the  Navy  tests  given 
last  week  in  the  gym  by  the  physical 
education  department.  In  each  event  the 
students  bettered  the  Navy's  mean  of  16 
push-ups,  8  pull-ups,  15  body  levers,  and 
78  inches  in  the  broad  jum|). 

Claiming  that  these  tests  "are  not  a 
valid  judge  of  a  man's  physical  condition," 
J.  Edwin  Hullock,  assistant  professor  of 
physical  education,  yesterday  stated  that 
they  are  used  by  the  Navy  to  determine 
the  physical  strength  and  stamina  of  their 
recruits. 

Tests  Not  'Reliable' 
Furthermore,  he  asserted,  they  are  not 
"reliable"  because  of  the  varying  degrees 
of  strictness  with  which  they  may  be  con- 
ducted. This  he  illustr.ited  by  comparing 
Williams  with  Amherst.  In  the  two 
"exact"  tests,  the  stan<ling  broad  jump 
and  the  pull-ups,  the  two  colleges  averaged 
nearly  identical  scores.  Hut  in  the  other 
two  exercises,  which  may  be  performed 
with  less  exertion  by  using  incorrect  form, 
Williams  outclassed  Amherst  by  four 
push-ups  and  twenty-six  body  levers. 
This  large  discrepancy  was  obviously 
not  all  caused  by  the  eight  weeks  of  calis- 
thenics that  Williams  had  before  the  tests, 
he  intimated. 

Most  outstanding  performance  was 
made  by  David  W.  Brown  '43,  three 
sports  captain,  when  hv  chinned  himself 
twenty-six  times,  six  more  than  his  closest 
rival.  Other  event  Icafkrs  were  Robert 
n.  Gurney  with  fifty-two  push-ups, 
Wilder  Gutterson,  Jr.  who  leaped  109 
inches  in  the  broad  jump,  and  J.  Hunter 
White  '45  with  185  body  levers. 

Freshmen  Weakest 

The  Class  of  1944  attained  the  highest 
averages  in  both  the  pull-ups  and  push 
ups,  while  1943  led  in  the  broad  jump  and 
1945  outclassed  the  college  in  body  levers. 
The  freshman  class,  weakened  because  one 
of  its  members  passed  out  during  the  test, 
placed  last  in  each  event. 

Other  class  winners  in  the  body  levers 
were  Thomas  H.  Powers,  Jr.  '43,  107; 
William  H.  Todd  '46,  150;  and  Henri  C.  A. 
Van  Stolk  '44,  165.  David  H.  Uradley, 
Edward  B.  Mulcahy  '44,  and  Bertram  A. 
Tunnel  I  '43  led  their  classes  in  push-ups 
with  lilt)',  while  Patrick  R.  Whiteley  '46 
paced  the  freshmen  with  forty-seven. 

Erik  lirown,  J.  Peter  McNerney  '45,  and 
Winston  V.  Morrow  '46  headed  their 
respective  classes  with  twenty-  pull-ups. 
There  was  a  triple  tie  of  eighteen  pull-ups 
between  Sam  Hunter,  Peter  J.  Swayze, 
and  \'an  Stolk  for  the  leadership  of  the 
Class  of  1944.  Van  Stolk  was  the  only 
student  who  led  his  class  in  more  than  one 
e\Tnt. 

In  the  broad  jump,  James  E.  Draper 
'4(),  Sam  W.  Maples,  and  C.eorge  F. 
Schmid,  Jr.  '44  recorded  jumps  of  108 
inches,  while  Baseball  Captain  William  C. 
Schmidt,  Jr.  led  the  seniors  with  106 
inches.

Loses,  9-0,  to  Elis  And, 
9-1,     to     Country     Club 

Mljms  Army-claimed  Coach  Clarence  C. 
Chaffee,  the  summer  varsity  tennis  team 
travelled  last  weekend  to  New  Haven  and 
Greenwich  ojily  to  bow  before  powerful 
Vale  and  (;reenwich  Country  Club  teams 
9-0,  and  9-1.  Captain  Tod  Hunt  was  out 
of  play  dtie  to  an  operation. 

Playing  Saturday  Cleorge  Schmid  chalk- 
ed up  the  only  Williams  victory  of  the 
weekend  when  he  came  from  behind  to 
take  Southbert  of  the  Greenwich  Countrv' 
Club  1-6,  6-2,  6-2.  In  the  number  one 
slot  at  ^'ale  Schmid  drew  Irving  Dorfman, 
Junior  Davis  Cup  player,  and  was  trounc- 
ed 6-2,  6-0. 

Dick  Hole  lost  his  chance  to  down 
nationally-placed  Cliff  Sutter  at  Green- 
wich when  his  point-getting  serve  cracked 
at  set-point  in  the  third  set,  and  Sutter 
took  the  next  two  games  for  the  m.itch 
5-7,  6-0,  7-5.  Making  every  game  close. 
Hole  went  down  fighting  the  day  before  at 
the  hand,s  of  Yale's  Blair  Hawley  6-3,  6-4. 

The  number  one  doubles  team  of  Hole 
and  Schmid  extended  their  Yale  oppon- 
ents, Dorfman  and  Hawley,  by  taking 
the  first  set  that  the  Eli  pair  has  lost  this 
season.  The  match  was  nip  and  tuck 
until  the  very  end  when  the  New  Haven 
racqtietmen   clinched    it  at    6-8,  75-,  6-4. 

Golfers  Top  NACC 
For  First  Victory 

Barnes,  Heuer  Shoot  69 
Bestball,  Win  Three  in 
8^-3^    Rout    at     Taconic 

At  full  strength  for  the  first  time  this 
season,  Dick  Baxter's  college  golf  team  hit 
its  stride  and  avenged  an  earlier  defeat  by 
North  ,\danis  Country  Club  with  an  8J- 
H  triumph  in  last  Sunday's  return  match 
on  the  Taconic  Club  Course.  It  was  the 
team's  first  victory  in  its  two  starts. 

The  visiting  linksmen  came  out  on  top 
in  only  one  foursome  as  good  teamwork 
by  Fred  Barnes,  Williams  captain,  and 
Charlie  Heuer  in  the  first  match,  and  Bob 
McKee  and  Chuck  ^'eiser  in  the  fourth, 
produced  3-0  sweeps  for  the  college. 

Barnes  and  Heuer  hung  upafour-under- 
par  69  bestball  in  topping  Bill  Lindsay  and 
Dave  McClelland,  winner  and  runnenip 
respectively  in  the  recent  North  Adams 
tourney,  5  and  4.  The  pair  scored  seven 
birds  on  the  round  and  took  all  three 
points  by  derisive  margins. 

McKee  ami  Veiser  won  by  3  and  2  while 
the  other  Williams  points  went  to  Munro 
Steel  and  Hob  Wright.  Playing  in  the 
third  foursome,  the  Steel-Wright  duo 
rallied  after  halving  the  first  nine  holes  to 
take  a  2  and  1  victory.  In  the  second 
match  Pete  Davis  and  Chub  Moore 
bowed  to  North  Adams'  Pierpan-Flynn 
duo,  6  and  4. 


Rev.  Eugene  C. 
To  Preach 


in 


Blahe 
Chapel 


"What  Are  We  Reallj-  I'ighting 
For?"  will  be  the  subject  which  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Eugene  C.  Blake,  pastor  of 
the  Pasadena  Presbyterian  Church 
in  Pasadena,  Calif.,  will  discuss  next 
Sunday  night  in  the  final  sermon  on 
the  general  topic,  "Christian  Faith 
in  a  Democracy." 

Dr.  Blake  was  formerly  pastor  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in 
Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  lectured  on 
Religion  at  Williams  during  the  aca- 
demic years  1937-38  and  1938-39. 


College  to  Debate 
Compulsory  Chapel 

Tourney  Begins  Sept.  11; 
Varsity  vs.  Dartmouth 
Tomorrow         Afternoon 

The  highly  controversial  issue  of  com- 
pulsory chajiel  at  Williams  has  been 
chosen  by  the  Adelphic  Union  as  the  topic 
for  its  All-College  tournament  which  will 
start  Friday,  September  11.  Deeming 
this  a  subject  close  to  every  student,  and 
therefore  capable  of  attracting  a  large 
number  of  debaters,  Frank  M.  Wozen- 
craft  '44,  chairman  of  the  tournament, 
announced  this  week  that  every  under- 
graduate, "regiirdless  of  class  or  i)revious 
experience,"  is  invited  to  enter  the  debates. 

Thoiuas  S.  Walsh  and  Frank  M.  Wozen- 
craft  '44  will  uphold  the  affirmative  of  the 
topic  "Resolved:  That  a  retail  sales  tux 
shall  be  imposed  by  the  federal  govern- 
ment for  the  duration"  against  a  negati\'e 
team  from  Dartmouth  Saturday  afternoon 
at  3  o'clock  in  Griffin  Hall.  .\  problem 
that  has  been  of  concern  toeconomistssince 
the  outbreak  of  war,  the  sales  tax  issue 
should  attract  many  undergraduates  and 
faculty  members.  Thi  Dartmouth  team, 
composed  of  Robert  McQtieen  and  Wil- 
liam Remsen  '42,  journeys  to  Williams  in 
spite  of  the  pressure  of  examinations. 

Appliciuits  for  the  All-College  tourna- 
ment must  sign  the  forms  in  Griffin  or 
Hopkins  by  Tuesday,  September  1.  .Six 
Adelphic  Union  teams  are  already  regis- 
tered, and  it  is  expected  that  eight  or  ten 
non-Union  teams  will  enter  the  opening 
round.

seamen,  or  be  given  the  chance  to  apply 
for  \'-5,  Ihey  will  have  the  same  chance 
f<ir  atlvancement  as  any  one  else  in  their 
position,  though  it  is  likely  that  they  will 
qualify  for  special  training  more  quickly 
than  less  educated  volunteers.  In  regard 
to  this,  a  Naval  Selection  Board  has  been 
instituted  which  recommends  enlisted 
men  for  conunissions. 

All  stiulents  on  application  are  divided 
into  general  and  special  groupings;  the 
V-1  and  V-7  are  the  general  groups,  and 
the  V-IS  and  V-7S  the  special  groups.  The 
physical  requirements  for  the  special 
groupings  are  lower,  and  some  major  in 
engineering,  mathematics,  physics,  chem- 
istry, meteorology,  or  business  adminis- 
tration is  necessary.  Upon  graduation 
those  in  the  special  groui)s  will  enter  some 
specialized  service  of  the  Navy. 

Class  V-4,  intelligence,  has  been  .set  up 
for  those  (lualilied  college  graduates  who 
have  the  necessary  linguistic  and  mathe- 
matical requirements.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  AUGUST  28.  1942 


Intraniiiial  softljall  has  complc-ti'd  its 
second  wrck  of  posl-scasdii  play  aiul  with 
it  thi'  yit  iiiultfratiil  Delta  Phi  iiiiu' 
fiiuls  itself  in  ahsolute  possession  of  the 
campus  crown  —  no  other  team  having 
the  barest  mathematical  chance  of  finish- 
inK  with  even  a  tie  for  the  number  one 
sh)l.  Last  Thursday  Delta  Upsilon 
had  the  only  team  in  a  position  to  turn 
the  trick  and,  by  the  next  afternoon, 
after  IdsinK  a  len  inninj;  heart-breaker  to 
the  Chi  Psis,  even  they  were  out  of  the 
race. 

The  Chi  Psis  held  a  particularly  im- 
portant role  in  the  past  week's  play  in 
entrenching  themselves  in  the  seccmd  spot 
and  blasting  the  D.  U.'a  hopes  of  tying 
for  the  league  lead.  The  crucial  D.  U. 
game  was  a  well-pitched  and  lighlly- 
played  one  until  the  fatal  tenth  when  a 
third  base  error  gave  Dick  Lambert  the 
nod  over  the  D.  L'.'s  Denver  Williams. 
Hank  and  Ed  Pennell  teamed  to  provide 
the  hitting  power  for  the  Alpha  Delt 
Kame,  the  former  slanmiing  a  three-run 
homer  and  the  latter  providing  the  margin 
for  victory  with  his  timely  single.  Lam- 
bert again  pitched  the  Chipsies  to  victory; 
this  time  it  was  eight  imiings — the  score 
7  to  4. 

The  Phi  Ganas  boosted  themselves  into 
the  third  position  with  two  wins.  They 
now  have  a  chance,  by  garnering  a  victory 
in  their  last  game,  to  end  the  season  in  a 
tie  for  second  with  the  Chi  Psi  nine. 
ruesda\-  the  Phi  Gams  trounced  the  Phi 
Sigs  18  to  12  in  a  terrific  slugging  duel. 
With  the  score  knotted  at  nine  apiece  in 
the  seventh,  the  Fijis  ran  up  nine  more 
runs  in  one  inning  to  clinch  the  game. 
In  their  other  contest  the  Phi  Gams  added 
insult  to  injury  in  setting  the  D.  U.s 
down  to  the  tun<'  of  12  to  4.  With  Herb 
Spring  pitching  and  the  score  tied  at  .1 
all.  Phi  Wilson  broke  the  tie  and  sparked 
his  team  to  victory.  Dan  Case  completed 
the  debacle  with  a  grand  slam  homer. 

The  Sigma  Phi  team  was  the  third 
outfit  to  register  two  victories  in  the  past 
week's  play.  Trailing  3  to  0  in  the  seventh 
and  with  two  out,  the  Sig's  Bcjb  Olcott 
homered  with  two  men  on  to  tie  the  count. 
In  rapid  succession  Hob  Nel.son  singled  and 


Dick  Hunsdotfer  hit  another  homer  to 
snatch  the  victory  from  the  Theta  Delta. 
With  George  Suniers  hurling,  the  Sigs 
s(|ueaked  by  the  Saints  and  chalked  up  a 
close  7  to  6  win  in  their  other  game. 

The  faculty  nine,  placing  in  the  newly 
ac(|uired  Weston  Field  Howl,  tlropped  a 
close  one  to  the  Chi  Psis  on  Monday, 
3  to  2.  On  Wetlnesdax',  however,  the 
profs  were  able  to  regain  stride  and  bested 
the  Betes  4  to  i  behind  the  steady  pitch- 
ing of  Charlie  Keller.  Although  the  game 
was  a  free-hitting  one,  both  the  Betes' 
Ziggie  Steel  and  pitcher  Keller  were 
parsimonious  in  giving  hits  when  the  chips 
were  down. 

The  Garfield  Club  captured  the  intra- 
mural tennis  crown  by  shutting  out  the 
Psi  U.s  2  to  0  in  the  finals.  Bob  \''iner 
and  Al  Dulcan  teamed  in  giving  the  Club 
the  nod  over  the  Psi  l'.'s  .Steve  Kent  and 
Charlie   Rowley.

Hypothetical  Team 
Picked  by  Caldwell 
After  Two  Weeks 

Football  Squad  Practices 
Offensive  Ground  Play; 
Passing    in    Background 

Who  would  pliiy  if  Williams  had  a 
\,irsity  footliall  game  tomorrow?  Coach 
(harlie  Caldwell  this  wwk  picked  a 
in  pothetical  team  hut  wariied  first  that 
after  two  weeks  of  practice  the  s(|uad  out 
lor  football  is  still  far  froui  being  a  team 
^iiid  that  no  positions  on  the  eleven  are 
ilincheil. 

Caldwell's  eleven  will  work  ofTensively 
from  the  familiar  single  wing-back  and 
inibalanced  line,  but  don't  be  surprised  if 
some  baffling  new  plays  come  out  of  the 
old  combiiiation. 

Itloekiiif:,  'riming.  Offense 

With  the  accent  falling  heavily  on 
blocking,  timing,  and  offensive  play  (he 
Eijhnien  have  so  far  had  little  defensive 
practice.  It  is  a  safe  bet  that  Charlie  will 
use  his  changing  system  of  defense. 

In  two  weeks'  practice  the  team  has 
concentrated  primarily  on  ground  plays. 
They  have  learned  a  series  of  s|)inner  plays 
and  started  learning  another  series  of 
ground  plays.  Aerial  offense  has  so  far 
bien  kept  under  cover  as  the  eleven  has 
learned  only  three  pass  plays. 

The  first  backfield  of  Caldttoll's  hy|)o- 
llietical  team  wocdd  include  C.unner 
1  laves.  Hill  Orr,  Tom  Towers,  and  Hill 
Schmidt,  all  veterans  from  the  1'>+1 
eleven.  Keaily  to  go  in  at  a  moment's 
nctice  would  l)e  the  second  backfield  — 
Jdlinny  Mridgewater,  Marry  Downs,  Hill 
ICIdir.  and  Hob  Nichols.  Other  back-; 
who  might  be  used  ari'  llowe  Adams. 
Larry  Hrasliears,  Jack  Cdasgow,  I'at 
lliui'ins,  and  iinb  Ruth. 

WulliK'i'  Hiu:k  HI  Kiid 

The  li'ft  and  right  ends  would  probably 

be   Jerry   Oberrender   and    Hob    Wall, ice. 

I.ikely  to  play  at  right  end  would  be  joe 

Chapuk  and  Carl  Ciruber.      Dick   .Means

"Although  their  whole  governmental 
technifiue  today  is  not  democratic,  it  will 
be  up  to  the  United  Nations  to  furnish 
the  basis  for  a  new  world  community," 
declared  the  Rev.  Dr.  Rcinhold  Niebuhr, 
professor  of  Christian  ethics  and  philo- 
s"phy  at  the  I'uion  Theological  seminary, 
ill  his  address  on  "Reason  and  Force  in 
International  Relations"  in  Jcsup  Hall, 
Monday. 

Speaking  before  a  large  audience  in  the 
lirst  program  presented  by  the  Williams 
Lecture  Committee  this  season,  Dr. 
Niebuhr  emphasized  the  relationship 
between  reason,  and  power  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  balance  of  power.  Des- 
cribing reason  as  "the  basis  of  justice" 
and  power  as  "the  organizing  principle," 
he  pointed  out  that  both  were  indispens- 
able to  international  peace  but  empha- 
sized that  world  cooperation  must  go 
deeper  than  the  principle  of  the  balance 
of  power.  The  balance  of  power  tenet,  Dr. 
Niebuhr  stressed,  is  one  of  anarchy  and 
must  necessarily  resolve  itself  into  poli- 
tical war. 

Appeals  {or  Brotherhood 
Following  an  introduction  by  the  Rev. 
A.  Grant  Noble,  college  chaplain,  Dr. 
Niebuhr  pointed  out  the  unity  of  body, 
spirit,  and  mind,  and  the  influence  they 
liave  on  "the  will  to  power"  that  has 
distinguished  man  and  international  rela- 
tions. The  human  mind  represents  "des- 
tructive and  creative  instincts  curiously 
compounded."  He  went  on  to  explain 
how  the  "element  of  force  and  the  pinnacle 
<if  reason"  combined  in  man  result  in  the 
power  politics,  exploitation  and  injustice 
"f  the  day.  Dr.  Niebuhr,  noted  as  an 
author  and  lecturer  as  well  as  a  theologian, 
concluded  with  a  ringing  appeal  for  a  new 
brotherhood  of  nations  based  upon  the 
■■cason  of  justice  and  the  force  and  domi- 
nance of  the  United  Nations. 


An  obstacle  course  120  yards  long  has 
been  pl.inrnd  b>  J.  f.dwlii  Dullock, 
assistant  professor  of  physical  education, 
and  will  be  built  ininu'dialely  for  trainint; 
physical  education  classes.  To  be  placed 
behind  the  Weston  Field  concrete  baseball 
bleachers  and  used  in  cniijunclion  with  the 
track,  the  five-lane  coiirsr  will  incorporate- 
eight  of  the  best  featuns  from  Army  and 
Navy  hardening  riiii' 

To  Be  Used  Alternately 
When  the  course  i~  completed,  physical 
education  classes  will  alternate  with 
calisthenlics,  crossinuntry,  and  soccer  to 
go  through  the  run  every  fourth  class 
period.  Wrestling,  swimming,  boxing, 
and  basketball  will  imt  begin  for  Phy.sical 
Education  groups  until  the  weather  is 
colder  and  the  da\  s  are  shorter. 

The  procedure  in  using  the  course  was 
outlined  by  Mr.  Bullock:  "We'll  .send 
them  around  the  track  a  couple  of  times 
and  then  through  the  run.  Because  the 
obstacles  are  so  close  together,  we'll  be 
able  to  supervise  the  course  closely  and 
keep  it  as  safe  as  possible."

Fraternities   Initiate 
129  Members  of  '46; 
Defy  U.  C.  Requests 

In  widespread  defiance  of  an  Under- 
graduate Council  recommendation  that 
Hell  Week  activities  be  confined  within  the 
respective  fraternity  houses,  more  than 
half  of  Williams'  fifteen  secret  organiza- 
tions continued  their  prc-Pearl  Harbor 
Hell  Week  policies,  conducting  their 
initiations,  in  part  at  least,  outside  the 
houses.  One  hundred  and  twenty-nine 
men,  65.8%  of  the  class  of  1946,  were  in- 
ducted into  the  fraternities  in  this,  Wil- 
liams' first  summer  initiation. 

Another  U.  C.  recommendation,  that 
Hell  Week  activities  not  begin  until 
Monday,  was  similarly  disregarded  by  at 
least  six  social  groups,  and  pajaniad 
freshmen  were  the  rule,  rather  than  the 
exception,  on  campus  Sunday  night.  In 
recommending  these  wartime  changes  in 
the  traditional  Hell  Week  procedure,  the 
student  governing  body  left  the  matter  to 
the  discretion  of  the  individual  houses, 
but  less  than  a  handful  complied. 

Combined  in  the  past  with  Midwinter 
Homecoming  on  the  third  weekend  in 
February,  this  year's  initiation  draws  less 
alumni  to  Williamstown  than  ever  before. 


The  Williams  College  Glee  Club  and

Hen-Fruit  Cackleberries 

That  good  old  reliable  dean  of

"EGGS — Think  of  the  hands  across

reach  for  eggs  as  handy  as  they  are 
to  most  of  us  in  the  good  old  l'.  S.  A.

how  delicious  a  fresh  cackleberry 
can  be."

Marine  Corps,  in  which  he  bad  been  a

Mr.  Osterhout  spoke  of  Fo.x  with  the 
warmest  praise.  "He  was  a  wonderful 
person,"  he  diehired,  "anil  one  of  the 
most  popnler  men  that  e\'er  came  to  this

Charles  R.Keller  Heads 
New    War   Committee 

U.  C.  Chooses  5  Students 
to    Work    with    Faculty 

Last  week  the  Committee  on  the  State 
of  the  College  in  a  World  tit  War  was 
formed  under  the  chairmanship  of  Charles 
R.  Keller,  associate  professor  of  history. 
The  purpose  of  the  committee  is  to  lind  out 
whether  Williams  is  doing  its  part  with  the 
greatest  possible  effectiveness  in  contri- 
buting towards  winning  the  war. 

S  Faculty  on  Committee 

The  committee  appointed  by  Acting- 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall  includes 
Dean  Halfdan  Gregersen;  Alton  H. 
Gustafson,  assticiale  jirofessor  of  biology; 
Dr.  Keller;  Donald  E.  Richmond,  Fred- 
erick Latimer  Wells  Professor  of  Mathe- 
matics; and  Thomas  J.  Wood,  director  of 
admissions,  who  will  work  with  the  follow- 
ing students  appointed  by  the  Under- 
graduate Council;  John  C.  Fuller,  Alan 
G.  James,  Robert  B.  Kittredge,  C.  Gorham 
Phillips,  and  Thomas  B.  Powers,  Jr.  '4.?. 

According  to  Mr.  Keller,  the  committee 
has  been  formed  to  take  slock  of  the  con- 
ditions existing  at  Williams  today  and  to 
reconnnend  possible  solutions  to  problems 
which  confront  the  college  and  the  under- 
graduate body.  The  committee  has  al- 
ready conferred  with  the  phj'sical  educa- 
tion department  on  more  rigid  enforce- 
ment of  the  at  tendance  of  P.  T.  classes  and 
has  approved  the  department's  proposal 
for  an  obstacle  course  similar  to  that  used 
in  commando  training. 

One  of  the  reasons  for  the  formation  of 
the  committee  was  the  increase  in  College 
Scholastic  warnings  this  summer.

An  Unjust  Law 

Every  houseparty  the  Undergraduate  Council  announces  that  "girls 
arc  allowed  in  the  college  dormitories  from  11 :00  a.m.  to  7:00  p.m.  and  at 
no  other  time."  Tlii.s  year-h)iig  college  rule  in  the  past  has  been  as  fre- 
quently violated  as  it  has  been  infrequently  enforced,  and  consequently 
a  basic  inequality  in  it  was  not  revealetl  until  recently,  when  the  college 
decided  to  renew  strict  enforcement. 

The  inequality  ari.ses  from  the  fact  that  the  Gaifield  ('lub,  which 
ceiilors  around  the  two  bottom  floors  of  college-owned  Currier  Hall,  has 
no  small,  informal  living  rooms  in  which  its  members  can  legally  entertain 
woman  guests  after  7:00  i).in.,  whereas  the  college  docs  not  ])rohibit  any 
friitci-nity  from  entertaining  women  after  that  hour.  This  inequality 
results  from  the  college's  apjilication  of  the  7:00  p.m.  rule  lo  the  top  floors 
of  Currier  Hall,  the  ('lub's  counter])art  to  informal  fraleiiiily  living  rooms. 

To  remove  this  injustice,  the  college  should  permit  the  Club  to  make 
its  own  rules  concerning  the  entertaining  of  women  guests  in  Currier 
Hall,  just  as  the  fraternities  are  permitted  to  regulate  their  own  conduct 
of  such  mailers.  These  rules  could  be  evolved  by  the  Club  with  the  help 
of  its  faculty  adviser  and  the  dean.  By  this  reform,  the  Club  would  have 
a  building  regulated  on  the  same  democratic  basis  as  the  fraternities. 

We  recomnu'Md  this  reform  not  only  for  its  short-term  benefits  in 
the  removal  of  a  glaring  injustice,  but  also  because  the  most  beneficial 
means  of  making  a  people  assume  responsibility  is  to  give  them  re- 
sponsibility. At  present  there  is  a  difference  of  opinion  in  the  Adminis- 
tration respecting  this  general  principle.  We  join  the  vast  majority  of 
AVilliams  undergraduates  who  continually  demand  more  student  govern- 
ment because  that  is  the  means  by  which  each  of  us  can,  with  .self-respect 
and  justice,  a.ssume  responsibility.  We  strongly  hope  that  the  college 
will  not  continue  to  inflict  an  injustice  u])on  the  members  of  the  Garfield 
Club  because  of  the  inequality  arising  from  the  enforcement  of  the  7:00 
I).m.  rule.  ,  '  '  ;

Letters  to  the  Editor 


To  the  Editors  of  The  Record; 

In  a  recent  number  of  The  Record,  the 
account  of  the  last  Williams-Amherst  base- 
ball game  contained  the  statenieiu  that 
the  no-hit  performance  by  the  Amherst 
pitcher  was  believed  to  be  the  first  in  the 
history  of  Williams-Amherst  conipelilion. 

Although  it  is  a  somewhat  painful  duty, 
respect  for  our  old  rivals  coni|)els  nie  to 
advise  you  that  in  May,  1909,  .MeClure, 
Amherst  pitcher,  performed  the  same  feat 
against  us.  The  gatue  is  described  in 
The  Williams  Record  of  Ma\-  27,  IQ09. 

I  am  sorry  not  to  be  able  to  meiuion  a 
Williams  "no-hitter"  against  Amherst,  but 
perhaps  someone  whose  memory  goes  back 
further  th.an  mine  can  bring  one  to  light. 
{Signed)  Abbott  P.  Mills '11 
P.S.  I  do  not  have  available  the  1910 
Records,  but  I  have  a  vague  recollection 
that  McClure  may  have  pitched  a  second 
no-hit  game  against  us  in  that  year. 

{Well  might  Reader  Mills  remember 
McClure' s  no-hit  performance,  for  it  knocked 
twenty-nine  points  off  his  .310  hatting 
average.  On  May  19,  1910  McClure  hurled 
another  no-hitter,  defeating  H'illtams,  2-0.

Editorial  Policy 

To  the  Editors  of  The  Record: 

No  end  impressed  by  the  character  of 
editorials  and  editorial  policy  of  The 
Record  during  recent  months.  Con- 
gratulations on  your  constructive  approach 
which  faces  significant  campus  facts  in  a 
direct  and  well  thought  out  manner.  A 
vigorous  and  alert  student  publication  is 
needed  now  as  never  before  to  serve  as  a 
strong  reminder  that  Williams  has  a  real 
responsibility,  a  dynamic  role  to  pla\. 
Yesterday  is  gone;  men  not  boys  is  the  cr\- 
of  the  hour.  .  men  who  have  learned  to 
coordinate  body,  mind  and  spirit .  .  men 
who  have  learned  to  put  first  things  first 
on  every  front.  Lacking  this  objective, 
the  College  becomes  as  a  stumbling  block 
in  our  time.  To  faculty,  Student  Hoily 
and  Alumni  your  editorial  punches  have 
come  as  a  vital  stimulus  toward  mainten- 
ance of  the  track  of  common-sense.  Ma\' 
you  continue  to  keep  the  cob-webs  of 
inefiiciency  and  indifference  from  the 
Williams  scene.

Robert  H.  Kittredge  '43,  president  <it 
the  I'nilergraduate  Council,  declared 
toda>  that  he  hoped  all  social  units  would 
postpone  house  elections  until  the 
U.  C.  announces  a  new  plan  for  an  "under- 
graduate representative  system"  of  stu- 
dent government.  Kittredge  was  unable 
to  give  details  as  to  what  form  the  U.  C. 
proposal  would  take,  but  he  did  indicate 
that  information  would  soon  be  forth- 
coming from  the  Council. 


The  Dean's  Office  this  week  announced 
the  resignation  of  Charles  F.  Yeiser  '43 
and  Charles  F.  Cole  '45.  Both  plan  to

W.C.A. Chest  Fund  Drive 
Set  for  Sept.  14, 15, 16 

Minimum     Called     $4000, 
Real     Need     $600    More 

On  .Sept.  14,  IS,  and  16,  the  Chest  Fund 
Conunittec  of  the  Williams  Christian 
Association  will  conduct  its  eighteenth 
annual  drive,  with  a  minimum  goal  set  at 
S4000  and  the  real  need  expressed  as 
being  S4,600. 

The  accelerated  college  program  has 
altered  the  number  of  drives  to  one  every 
other  semester  and  brought  a  consequent 
reduction  in  the  budget.  A  new  emphasis 
has  been  put  on  collection  for  war  relief 
agencies,  and  all  money  collected  for  these 
is  to  be  handled  through  the  local  chapter 
of  Allied  War  Relief.  The  budget  as 
outlined  by  the   committee  follows: 

Minimum     Real  Need 


Indian  Situation 

To  the  Editors  of  The  RECORD: 

If  Frederick  L.  Schuman  would  mark, 
learn  and  inwardly  digest  the  Indian 
situation  more  justly  and  carefully,  he 
would  be  more  guarded  in  his  statements. 
It  would  be  of  benefit  to  him  to  read  the 
article  by  Sir  Stafford  Cripps  in  the 
magazine  section  of  the  New  York  Times 
of  August  23. 

I   regret  that   you   publish   such  state- 
ments which  may  influence  the  young  men 
wrongly  and  hurt  our  cause. 
{Signed) 

W.  K.  Odell 

( What  has  really  hurt  our  cause  is  the 
lack  of  more  men  like  Mr.  Schuman  who 
are  willing  lo  speak  on  India  realislically 
without  glossing  over  Great  Britain's  errors. 
Constructive  criticism  of  an  ally,  like  con- 
structive criticism  of  the  Roosevelt  Adminis- 
tration, is  equally  valid  in  war  as  in  peace.

Williamstown  Ready  Within  Six  Hours 
To  Shelter  Over  a  Hundred  Evacuees 


"Within  six  hours  after  notification  by 
the  Massachusetts  Civilian  Defense  head- 
quarters, Williamstown  will  be  able  to 
take  care  of  at  least  1 20  evacuees  from  such 
cities  as  Boston,  Springfield,  Worci'ster, 
and  even  Hartford,"  John  Allison  '23, 
chairman  of  both  the  Civilian  Defense  and 
Red  Cross  Disaster  Committees  in  Wil- 
liamstown,   declared    yesterday. 

"Although  we  have  notified  the  Civilian 
Defense  authorities  that  we  have  ample 
accommodations  for  as  many  as  120 
refugees,"  Mr.  Allison  went  on,  "there  is 
always  the  possibility  that  we  might  have 
a^  jnany  as  400  or  500  evacuees  on  our 
hands,  should  the  larger  cities  in  Mass- 
achusetts be  very  severely  bombed.  In 
that  case,  we  would  be  unable  to  care  for 
all  these  people  with  our  present  housing 
iirrangements,  ujdess  the  college  came  to 
our  aid.  Fortunately,  we  have  been  told 
tliat  if  such  an  emergency  did  occur,  Wil- 
liams will  cooperate  with  the  local  Civilian 
Defense  and  Red  Cross  to  the  fullest 
«tent." 

RefuKees  in  AMT 
Mr.    Allison    stated   that    if   only    1 20 
evacuees  are   assigned  to    Williamstown, 
ihe  present  arrangements  will  prove  com- 
pletely satisfactory.     The   buildings  that 
have  been  made  ready  for  occupation  by 
refugees  are  the  Adams  Memorial  'I'licator, 
the  Mitchell  School,  the  (irange  Hall,  the 
Opera  Mouse,  and  the  Broad  Brook  School 
in    the    nearby    village   of    While   Oaks. 
Sanitary  conditions   in  all    these   shelters 
are  well  above  the  standard  demanded  by 
Civilian  Defense  heachiuarters  in  Boston. 
Sleeping  facilities  in  the  Adams  Memori- 
al Theater  will  be  provided  by  several  of 
the  fraternity  houses  along  Main  Street,  \ 
Mr.  Allison  continued.     Cots  and  blankets 
can    be    quckly    carried    across    to     the 
theater,  when  it  is  learned  that  evacuees 
are  being  sent  to  the  Berkshire  region  for 
safety.     The   four  other  shelters   will   be 
equipped  with  cots  and  bedding  donated 
by  the  townspeo|)le,  or  supplied   by  the 
Red  Cross.     Mr.  Allison  added  that  the 
theater  w  ill  be  able  to  house  approximately 
forty    homeless    people,     with     evacuees 
sleeping  in  the  basement. 

llcadquurtci-ft  in  Gym 
Both  Civilian  Defense  and  Red  Cross 
headquarters  will  he  establisheil  in  the 
Lasell  Gynmasium,  as  soon  as  an  emer- 
.gency  arises.  In  addition  to  serving  as 
the  center  of  operations  for  all  committees 
of  registration,  transportation,  food  and 
supply,  and  health,  the  gym  will  be  used 
to  house  refugees  in  case  more  than  the 
anticipated  120  arrive.  To  meet  such 
an  emergency,  the  college  will  requisition 
the  day-beds  from  dormitory  studies, 
and  move  them  into  the  gymnasium.  Mr. 
Allison  added  that  the  college  has  a  limited 
supply  of  blankets  and  sheets  on   hand. 


which  can  be  used  to  supply  those  refugees 
stationed  in  the  gym  with  bedding. 

ff  the  occasion  demanded  it,  Mr. 
Allison  said  that  some  dormitories  might 
be  turned  over  to  the  Civilian  Defense 
authorities  to  serve  as  shelters.  The 
Williams  Annex,  for  instance,  can  be 
speedily  made  ready  for  such  use. 
t;hurclic»  Are  KitelienH 

The  local  Congregational,  Mi'thodist, 
Baptist  and  Episcopal  churches  will  serve 
as  feeding  stations  for  the  evacuees.  As 
all  these  buildings  have  their  own  kitchens 
for  church  suppers,  they  are  considered 
perfectly  fitted  for  the  task  of  cooking 
food  for  large  numbers  of  peopl<'.  Both 
the  local  Grange  and  the  Mitchell  and 
Broad  Brook  schools  are  also  e(|uipped 
with  kitchen  facilities.  Mr.  Allison  dis- 
closed that  there  is  probably  enough  food 
at  the  local  stores  to  provide  at  least  two 
or  three  meals  for  the  refugees,  .\fter 
that  time,  the  Civilian  Defense  comniiuee 
will  have  to  get  supplies  from  whcjKsale 
stores  and  warehouses  in  North  Adams  and 
Pittsfield.  A  survey  has  been  takiii  of 
local  store-houses  to  get  an  idea  of  how 
much  food  the\'  can  provide. 

All  necessary  supplies  of  food  and  ilolh- 
ing  will  be  bought  by  the  Civilian  Diiiiisr 
authorities  with  requisition  blanks  giscn 
them  by  the  Red  Cross.  These  blanks 
will  act  as  payment  until  appropriations 
bv    the    state's    Civilian    Defense   boaril

Trucks,  Cars,  Stalion-Wapons 

In  ail  probability,  evacuees  w'ill  be  sent  : 
io  Williamstown  by  railroad.  Thesi' 
I  special  trains  will  be  met  at  the  station  by 
cars,  trucks,  and  station-wagons  donated 
by  hundreds  of  volunteers,  who  have 
responded  to  the  transportation  com- 
milter's  plea  for  transportation  facilities. 
The  station-wagons  can  be  used  as  ini- 
pro\  i.^ed  ambulances,  should  there  be 
wounil.'d  persons  among  the  refugees.  Mr. 
Allisnii  stated  that  this  was  improbable, 
howcMT,  since  Williamstown  does  not 
possess  the  medical  facilities  needed  to 
handle  the  badly  injured. 

The  e\'acuees  svill  then  be  taken  directly 
to  the  Lasell  (i\-mnasium,  where  they  will 
be  registered  ;md  submitted  to  a  medical 
examination  under  the  direction  of  Or. 
Kenneth  R.  McAlpin,  of  the  Williams 
Health  Department.  Those  evacuees  found 
to  be  suffering  from  disease  or  sickness  of 
any  sort  will  be  segregated  from  the  others, 
and  sent  to  the  North  Adams  Normal 
.School,  which  has  recently  been  equipped 
for  hospital  purposes.  Those  considered 
in  good  health  will  be  assigned  to  the 
dilTerent  shelters.  Exlni  clothing  will  be 
provided  through  priv  .ive  donations,  or  the 
Red  Cross  commiitoe,  which  has  been 
making  socks,  swcilers.  suits,  and  dr.'sses 
for  more  than  a  vrar. 

'Gulielmensian'  Elects 
Five  Sophs  to  Board 

As  a  result  of  a  live-week  competition, 
Stuart  F.  Coan,  IClbert  H.  Loughran, 
Henry  L.  McCorkle,  Arthur  B.  McComb, 
Willard  H.  I'earsall,  and  Philo  C.  Wilson 
'45  have  been  elected  to  the  editorial 
board  of  the  Guhdmensian. 

These  five  men  will  compete  with  John 
J.  Angevin  and  Peter  J.  McNerney  '45, 
who  were  chosen  last  year,  for  the  pos- 
itions of  Editor,  Managing  Editor,  Senior 
Associate  Editor,  and  Sports  Editor  in 
their  junior  year. 

The  editorial  board  competition  for  the 
class  of  1946  will  start  next  week. 


NYA  Grants  Williams 
Funds  for  Student  Aid 

Consistent  with  the  governmental  ruling 
of  last  week,  National  Youth  Adminis- 
trati(m  funds  will  again  pour  into  Williams- 
town to  aid  students  ccmlributing  to  their 
own  support  or  tuition,  Albert  V.  Oster- 
hout  '06,  executive  secretary  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Student  Aid,  announced  today. 

Tuesday  was  the  da\-  set  for  official 
reopening  of  the  plan  which  has  been  much 
discussed  in  the  last  half  year.  Though 
the  allotment  sent  to  Williams  has  suffered 
the  universal  forty  per  cent  cut  levied  on 
the  entire  appropriation,  Mr.  Osterhout 
characterized  the  curtailment  as  "quite 
natural"  and,  went  on  to  add  that  the 
college  plans  to  employ  more  men  this 
year  than  before  in  spite  of  the  loss  of 
funds. 

The  full  allotment  sent  to  Williams  last 
year  was  never  expended,  mainly  because 
of  an  interruption  last  January,  when  all 
funds  were  cut  off  pending  discussion  and 
examination  of  the  project  by  the  govern- 
ment, and  also  because  the  plan  started 
late  at  this  college.  Last  year  forty  stu- 
dents participated  in  the  plan,  helping  in 
secretarial  and  laboratory  work,  as  well  as 
in  correcting  and  filing.

substituce  for  Wallace  at  left  end. 

Holiling  down  starting  tackle  positions 
would  be  John  Stiegman  and  Art  Vorys. 
Stiegman,  a  guard  in  the  1941  season,  has 
been  changed  to  tackle  to  help  bolster  a 
position  greatly  weakened  by  the  loss  of 
last  year's  first  four  tackles.  Others  who 
might  take  over  the  position  would  be 
Crunden  Cole,  Bob  Gardner,  and  Colby 
Wilson.

Tom  Bulifinton,  Ed  Mulcahy,  Gene

John  Wakeman  would  fight  it  out  for  the 
two  guard  positions  while  the  center  is 
hold  down  by  Captain  Bill  Courter  and 
ably  seconded  by  freshman  Gene  Detmer. 

At  the  end  of  this  week  a  rut  will  be 
made  of  all  players  who  would  have  a 
better  chance  for  experience  on  the  junior 
varsity  football  team.  These  men  will  be 
joined  by  the  thirty  who  have  already 
signed  up  for  junior  varsity  football. 


20  Sign  for  All-College 
Debating    Tournament 

Dartmouth     Nips    Varsity 
on    Sales    Tax    Problem 

Twenty  undergraduates  have  signified 
their  intent  to  participate  in  the  Adelphic 
Union's  All-College  tournament,  according 
to  Frank  M.  Wozencraft  '44,  chairman  of 
the  event.  At  a  meeting  Tuesday  they 
definitely  decided  to  debate  on  the  com- 
pulsory chapel  question,  and  voted  to 
liostpone  the  opening  round  from  Friday, 
Seinember  11  to  Tuesday,  September  15. 
'Suak  llio  Poor' 

The  varsity  debating  team  lost  a  split 
decision  to  Dartmouth  in  Griffin  Hall 
Saturday  afternoon  when  they  failed  to 
con\'ince  the  audience  of  more  than 
twenty-live  undergraduates  and  faculty 
members  "That  Congress  should  impose  a 
retail  sales  tax."  Wozencraft  and  Thomas 
S.  Walsh  '44,  arguing  that  the  t.ix  would 
be  an  added  source  of  revenue  and  a  check 
on  inflation,  did  not  successfully  prove 
that  the  measure  would  not  "soak  the 
poor."  The  two  judges,  Fred  II.  Stocking 
and  William  S.  Dix,  Jr.,  English  instruc- 
tors, failed  to  agree  on  a  decision,  so  the 
audience  vote  for  the  negative  was 
decisive. 

The  following  teams  have  already 
entered  the  All-College  tournament: 
Richard  C.  Acker  and  James  F.  Pritchard 
'44;  JohnaChan  C).  Biniie  '43  and  Paul  L. 
Kohnstamm  '44;  Murry  L.  Cohen  and

Headed  by  Captain  Larry  Thompson 
and  five  other  lelternien,  forty  candidates 
reported  to  Coach  Ed  liullock  for  the  first 
varsitj'  soccer  practice  Tuesday.  Besides 
Thompson,  liol)  Bensen,  Bill  Brewer, 
Gordon  Getsinger,  Carter  Hall,  and  I'rank 
Wozencraft  returned  to  provide  a  nucleus 
for  the  1942  squad. 

With  a  five-s;anie  schedule  ahead,  Bui 
lock  plans  to  stress  fundamentals  for  the 
next  two  weeks  before  settling  down  to 
the  task  of  picking  a  first  eleven.  Practices 
will  be  held  dailv  at  4;00  p.m.  on  Cole 
Field. 

No  J.  V.   for  Subs 

In  spite  of  the  freshman  eligibilit\'  rule, 
it  has  been  decided  to  retain  a  freshman 
team  rather  than  start  a  J.V.  outfit  for 
second-stringers.  Outstanding  yearling 
bcjoters  may  be  added  to  the  varsity 
s(|uad.  The  freshmen,  coached  by  Bob 
Miiir,  will  not  be  called  out  until  after 
Labor  Hay,  when  they  will  start  practice 
for  their  four-game  schedule. 

Both  schedules  include  the  traditional 
Little  Three  games,  but  transportation 
dirficulties  have  made  it  impossible  to 
book  two  other  soccer  ri\'als,  Yale  and 
Hamilton.  This  year  the  .\niherst  soccer 
games  will  be  played  on  the  day  of  the 
Weslejau  football  game,  instead  of  on  the 
morning  of  the  Amherst  football  encount- 
er, November  14. 

OBSTACLE  RUN 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

"ditch  jumping"  have  been  eliminatefl 
because  of  the  danger  of  turned  ankles  if 
such  olistacles  are  made  difficult  enou>.di  to 
be  worthwhile.  Since  it  would  spoil  the 
continuity  of  the  course,  there  will  be  no 
rope  clinib.  Spaced  appro.ximately  ten 
yards  apart,  each  obstacle  is  ilesigned  to 
be  e(|ui\;dent  to,  or  harder  than,  those  al 
Army  and  Nav>'  camps. 

Bear  Cage'  Difficult 

I  he  "jungle  climb"  or  "bear  cage"  is 
the  most  difficult  of  the  obstacles  planned. 
It  is  made  up  of  four  log  walls  six  feet  high 
placed  across  the  run.  To  pass  the  bai- 
liers  (he  runner  must  climb  over  the  lirst, 
under  the  second,  over  the  third,  and  under 
the  last. 

I'nique  to  the  Williams  layout  is  the 
forty-six-foot  zig-zag  run.  Each  running 
aisle  will  be  bounded  by  low  wooden  rail- 
ings that  force  the  racer  into  a  criss-cross 
pattern. 

The  seven-and-a-half-foot  bare  wall 
tliat  is  the  last  obstacle  is  higher  li\-  six 
inches  than  the  wall  specified  for  climbing 
by  the  Army.  The  Army  also  specifies 
toe-holes  for  the  wall  while  Williams  men 
will  be  required  to  clinib  a  perfectly' 
smooth  surface. 

Horizontal  Ladders 
To  strengthen  arm  muscles  the  course 
includes  a  set  of  horizontal  ladders  fifteen 
feet  long  and  eight  feet  high.  'The  runner 
must  go  the  whole  length  of  the  ladder 
without  touching  the  ground  to  complete 
the  course  successfully. 

Actual  practice  for  warfare  is  simulated 
when  each  man  must  crawl  for  thirty  feet 
under  wires  twenty  inches  high.  Mr. 
Bullock  commented,  "We  definitely  will 
not  use  barbed  wire." 

Other  conditioning  devices  will  be  a  two- 
and-a-half-foot  hurdle,  a  twelve-foot  lad- 
der and  jump,  and  a  pair  of  two-foot 
underpasses  with  a  four-foot  hurdle  in 
between.

Winch  Offers  Machine 
Shop  Training  Course 

All    Students       Interested 
Should     Enroll    Sept.    2 

Those  interested  in  taking  machine 
shop  training  as  prei)arati(;in  for  military 
service  or  for  an\'  other  reason  are  urged 
t(i  attend  a  meeting  in  the  physics  lecture 
room  at  8:00  p.  m.  next  Wednesday  to 
enroll  in  the  third  of  a  series  of  machine 
courses.  'The  second  of  these  fifteen-week 
courses  will  end  a  week  from  today,  stated 
Prof.  Ralph  P.  Winch  of  the  physics 
department,  who  conducts  the  machine 
training.  If  there  is  sufficient  interest 
the  third  will  begin  September  14. 

Students  taking  the  training  will  learn 
how  to  operate  lathes,  milling  machines, 
shapers,  and  planers.  Since  the  purchase 
of  two  automobile  engines  in  June  em- 
phasis will  be  placed  on  the  study  of 
internal  combustion  engines.  'The  sche- 
dule will  consist  of  one  three-hour  class 
each  week  for  each  member  of  the  course. 
Machinist's  Mate  Training 

Although  students  will  receive  no  college 
credit  for  this  course.  Professor  Winch 
feels  that  the  instruction  will  be  a  definite 
aid  to  those  planning  to  enter  the  air  or 
tank  corps,  act  as  machinist's  mate  on  a 
ship,  or  those  who  wish  to  improve  their 
rating  in  the  Marine  Corps. 

This  machine-shop  training  has  been 
inaugurated  at  Williams  by  Professor 
Winch  to  keep  the  C(illege  in  step  with 
similar  opportunities  (iffered  by  the 
government  to  non-students.  'The  first 
course  was  restricted  to  seniors  and  those 
registered  in  the  draft,  while  the  second 
course  was  open  to  all  and  included  two 
faculty  members.  The  new  scries  of 
classes  will  also  be  open  to  all  who  are 
interested. 


SERVICES 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Civil  Service  exams  will  place  one  million 
people  in  the  next  year.  Latest  needs  lie 
in  the  fields  of  communications,  en- 
gineering, psychology,  economics  (espe- 
cially accounting  and  statistics),  radio  and 
sound,  physics,  meteorology,  public  ad- 
ministration, clerking,  and  stenography. 
The  Federal  Bureau  of  Invcsligalion  is 
looking  for  college  and  law  schools  grad- 
uates with  a  knowledge  of  some  foreign 
language,  and  with  the  capacity  for 
analysis  and  investigation.  In  addition 
to  work  as  Special  Agents,  laboratory, 
radio,  and  clerical  positions  are  also  open 
in  the  F.  B.  1. 


Harriers  Start  Work 
On  Regulation  Course 

Bolstered  hy  the  addition  of  several 
new  prospects  for  varsity  service,  the  cross 
country  stiuad  early  this  week  shifted  from 
calisthenics  and  warming-up  exercises  to 
the  regulation  course  as  practice  began  in 
earnest  for  the  fall  schedule. 

With  Captain  Dave  Brown,  Maurie 
Goodbody,  and  Ed  Sheffield,  all  back 
from  last  year's  team,  piaetices  will 
concentrate  on  regular  running  of  the 
inter-collegiate  two-and-a-half  mile  course 
until  the   Middlebury  meet  October  9. 

'The  return  of  Hack  Nielson,  winner  ol 
the  Little  'Three  freshman  championship 
two  seasons  ago,  raised  hopes  for  a  strong 
team.  Out  all  last  year  with  an  ankle 
injury,  Nielson  returned  to  the  s(|uad 
Monday  and  has  shown  considerabli^ 
promise   in   the    practice  runs   this   week. 

B\'ron  George  looms  as  the  number  one 
freshman  threat  on  the  s<|uad,  and  may  see 
regular  varsity  service  in  the  four-meet 
schedule  that  commences  early  next  month. 
Star  performer  on  the  Poh'  Prep  track 
team  last  \'ear,  Geerge  annexed  the  New 
York  City  mile  championship  this  spring 
and  turned  in  outstanding  performances  in 
dual  meets.

Eleven  Lacks  Drive 
With  Three  Weeks 
Gone  in  '42  Season 

Poor  Interest,  Absences 
Handicap  Chances  For 
Building  Winning  Team 

by  15BUCE  McCl.Ei.bAN  '45 

MissiiiK  tlii'ir  assignments  and  for- 
j;,  1 1  ing  their  plays  during  thf  ganu' 
sciininiam'  tliis  Weilncsday,  the  varsity 
fiiotball  team  fail<'<l  to  show  even  the 
ixginninsjs  of  a  polish  after  three  weeks  of 
practice.  Lack  of  interest  and  continual 
ahsences  have  been  major  factors  in  the 
slow  progress  the  squad  is  making. 

During  early  |)ractice  Coach  Charlie 
Caldwell  attributed  ragged  playing  to 
inexperience.  There  has  been  so  lillle 
improvement,  however,  that  he  is  loving 
with  the  idea  of  picking  twenty-hvi'  men 
for  a  travelling  game  s(|ua(l. 

Signs  (](  sloi)py  playing  became  evident 
in  the  Tuesday  alternoon  signal  diill 
called  b>-  Caldwell  to  work  off  the  effects  of 
a  four-day  vacation  from  practice.  Ctit  to 
fifty  of  the  most  promising  players  and 
using  Cole  Kield  for  the  first  time,  the 
eaTididates  ccnilinually  missed  their  timing. 
Whether  It's  Worthwhile 

A  full  ganu'  scrimmage  run  Wednesday 
afternoon  found  the  hacklield  men  running 
weakly  and  blocking  poorU'.  At  the 
same  time  linemen  were  loafing  or  charging 
only  slowly.  Caldwell  says  that  his  men 
aren't  thinking  about  football  excc-pt  to 
wonder  whether  it's  worthwhile. 

A  pessimistic  Wl'H  bulletin  (|Uoled  in 
Time  as  contending  ihat  football  is  in  its 
last  year  has  helped  to  dampen  Eph  spirits. 
Helping  also  to  cut  enthusiasm  is  the 
rumor  that  l.?0  men  will  resign  from  college 
al  the  end  of  lids  semester. 

.■■\  nioie  tangible  lilndi.oice  to  Caldv.ell'.i 
training  program  has  been  the  average 
daily  ahsences  of  from  ten  to  twelve 
players.  At  \Vednes(la>'s  game  scrim- 
mage six  men  were  missing  from  the  first 
three  teams. 

With  little  advance  information  about 
Middleburx',  Caldwell  has  been  aiming  lor

A  Community  Project 
As  described  by  Max  Flowers,  director 
of  the  AMT,  the  productions  represent 
tlie  nearest  thing  to  a  community  project 
yet  achieved  in  the  College  Theatre.  Final 
fiKiires  show  that  thirty-eight  of  the 
seventy-six  actors  and  actresses  partici- 
pating in  the  program  come  from  the 
surrounding  community — Williamstown, 
North  Adams,  and  Adams. 

The  lead  role  in  Fall  of  the  City  is  unusual

Through  Allied  Relief 

Main  items  on  this  year's  ilrive  ai'e  War 
Relief,  for  which  S700  has  bei'U  ajipro- 
priated,  and  the  Williamstown  Boys' 
Club,  which  will  receive  SIOOO.  'This 
year,  the  second  in  which  the  former  item 
has  appeared  on  ihi'  proposed  budget,  will 
see  the  money  collected  for  this  cause 
handled  through  the  local  chapter  of 
Allied  War  Relief. 

The  committee  feels,  however,  that  the 
important  investmensts  begun  in  former 
years  should  at  all  costs  be  continued,  and 
in  line  with  this  the  largest  sum  on  the 
budget  is  intended  for  the  Boys'  Club,  an 
organization  which,  under  the  supervision 
of  the  WCA,  sponsors  social  and  athletic 
programs  for  the  youth  of  Williamstown. 
Additional  Equipment 

Having  maintained  a  cam|)  situated  on 
Northwest  Hill  for  eight  weeks  during  the 
sunntier,  the  club  will  continue  to  function 
as  usual  this  winter  under  the  direction  of 
Edward  R.  Howe  '44.  Out  of  the  surplus 
of  last  year's  drive,  $250  was  spent  on 
additional  e(|uipinent  for  the  Boys'  Club 
building  <in  Cole  Avenue. 

Again  $700  will  be  donated  lo  Student 
Religious  Aid,  as  a  source  of  help  for  those 
.students  in  need  of  linancial  assistance 
throughout  the  campus,  while  S200  will  go 
to  Community  Welfare  to  be  given  directly 
to  the  Welfare  Association  of  Williams- 
town.

For  college  religious  work  the  budget

Stimson  Sees  Students 
In  Armed  Forces  Soon 

Secretars  of  War  Henr\  L.  Stimson, 
according  to  an  Associated  Press  dis- 
patch, yesterday  issued  notice  to  student 
members  of  the  Army  Knlisted  Reserve 
Corps  that  they  face  call  to  active  military 
duty  on  reaching  the  mininuim  legal  age 
for  service,  which  at  present  is  20  years. 
With  the  increasing  war  demands  for 
manpower  making  this  action  necessar\', 
Secretary  Stimson  indicated  that  the 
calling  up  of  reser\ists  will  not  start  until 
the  completion  of  the  college  semester 
beginning  this  September. 

In  line  with  Secretary  .Slimson's  notice, 
Williams'  student  members  of  the  AERC, 
who  are  of  the  legal  age.  may  e.xpect  to  be 
calleil  to  aetix'e  dut\'  flii\'  time  after

Inder  ecnidilions  al  the  lime  of  ihi- 
creation  of  tlm  Eiilist<'d  Reserve,  the  War 
|)i|iartiiienl  held  the  belief  thai  the  large 
majority  of  students  shoulil  remain  in 
college,  but  if  the  necessity  of  war  de- 
manded, the  Secretary  of  War  might  call

War  Loans  Will  Aid 
Top   Science  Majors 

Under  the  new  student  war  loan  pro- 
gram, recently  announced  1)\  .Xcting- 
Director  Kendric  M.  Marshall,  students 
working  on  an  "accelerated  program"  who 
maintain  satisfactory  scholarship  (C 
average  or  better)  are  eligible  lo 
receive  government  loans  limited  to 
tuition  fees  plus  S25  per  month  if  they  arc 
majoring  in  clieinistr\-,  physics,  engineer- 
ing, dentistry,  medicine,  or  pharmaceutics. 

No  further  information  has  been  re- 
leased concerning  the  new  program  which 
is  lo  be  administered  by  the  Office  of 
Education,  is  designed  to  fill  shortages  of 
trained  personnel  in  \ital  war  services,  and 
calls  for  a  S.S,00(),nOO  Congressional 
appropriation. 

A  more  direct  instance  of  the  Williams- 
science-war  situation  was  revealed  today 
in  a  letter  from  the  father  of  Paul  L. 
Kohnslamm  '44  to  Dr.  J.  Fiteh  King,  head 
of  the  Chemislrx'  neparlment,  in  which 
Mr.  Kohnslamm  offered  Pnifessor  King 
supplies  from  II.  Kohnstamm  &  Co.  if  need 
arose.  'The  latter  plant  has  been  making 
chemicals  for  printers  ink,  laundry  sup- 
plies, candy  flavorings,  and  dves  since 
1851. 

(But  since  Albert  Grindy  '16  has  already 
d(maled  a  two  to  ten  years  supply  of 
chemicals  lo  the  college  there  appears  to 
be  no  such  shortage  present. Professor  King 
has  added  further  that  the  department's 
A-2  priority  rating,  issued  in  the  summer 
of  1941,  has  been  rai.sed  by  the  WPB  to  an 
A-1-a  rank  which  he  believes  will  insure 
an  additional  supply.

by  the  1911  board. 


A  Primary  Choice 

Here  in  Williainstown  next  Tuesday,  the  Republicans  of  a  small 
section  of  Massachusetts  will  play  their  part  in  deteiniining  the  destiny 
of  America  in  today's  war  and  tomorrow's  peace,  llaymond  L.  Buell, 
comparative  political  newcomer  and  aggressive  Willkie-ite,  will  contest 
tlie  Republican  nomination  in  the  First  Massachusetts  Congres.sional 
District  with  Allen  T.  Treadway,  old  guard  Representative  of  twenty- 
nine  years  experience. 

The  siip|)orters  of  Mr,  Treadway  have  charged  that  candidate  Buell 
is  "an  academic  theorist  with  no  [iractical  knowledge  of  domestic  and 
world  affairs  and  no  proven  ability  to  understand  political  problems," 
They  claim  for  Mr.  Treadway  "a  long  record  of  wise  and  constructive 
statesmaiLship."  Wc  fail  to  see  how  any  voter  who  takes  the  trouble  to 
look  at  the  record  can  pay  any  serious  attention  to  either  of  these  claims. 
Here  arc  the  facts  on  Mr.  Treadway: 

Treadway's  Record 
In   19:59  Treadway  voted  against  the  fortification  of  (iuam. 
In  1939  Treadway  voted  against  the  repeal  of  the  arms  embargo 
In  I9,'$9  Treadway  voted  against  ai)i)r(ipriatioiis  for  military  aircraft. 
In   1911  Treadway  defieil  Wendell  Willkie's  Rei)ublican  leadership 
to  vote  against  the  Leiid-Lea.se  Act. 

In  the  .same  year  he  voted  against  the  extension  of  the  draft. 
And  only  three  weeks  before  Pearl  Harbor  Treadway  voted  against 
lifting  "combat-zone"  restrictions  on  the  shipment  of  Lend-Lea.se  ma- 
terials to  those  fighting  the  common  enemy. 

In  .short,  "Treadway's  record  is  one  of  coiusisteiit  champion.ship  of 
the  self-strangulation  of  American  trade,  of  narrow  isolationi.sm,  and  of 
opjiosition  to  all  attcin|)ts  to  establish  a  wori<l  order  which  might  assure 
peace  and  ])lenty  to  .\mericans  and  to  other  free  i)eoples."  (Frederick 
L.  Scluiman  in  a  letter  to  the  North  Adams  Transcript.) 
On  the  other  hand,  here  are  the  facts  on  Buell: 

BuelPs  Record 
In  the  si)riiig  of  19.'i9  he  published  his  I'oland:  Key  lo  Europe,  which 
clearly  foresaw  liow  and  where  the  second  World  War  would  begin. 

In  1910  lie  published  his  Isolated  America,  which  warned  America 
of  the  tragic  consequences  of  isolationist  neutrality  and  of  the  desperate 
urgency  of  opjiosing  with  all  our  strength  the  Fascist  attempt  to  ccm(|uer 
the  world  if  we  would  hojje  to  preser\'c  our  own  freedom. 

From  1927  to  19.39,  first  as  research  director  and  later  as  president 
of  liie  Foreign  Policy  Association,  he  brought  together  and  administered 
with  rare  skill  the  mo.st  important  groui)  of  scientific  workers  in  tlie 
T.Iniled  States  in  the  field  of  world  affairs. 

In  1910  he  was  a  prominent  member  of  Wendell  Willkie's  camjiaign 
staff. 

At  the  same  time  that  he  has  demonstrated  his  thorough  understand- 
ing of  world  politics  as  a  leading  author  and  educator,  he  has  iiroved  iiis , 
ability  to  handle  |)ractical  iirobicnis  in  many  ]>olilical  conferences  and 
executive  positions.  In  other  words,  again  to  quote  Mr.  Schuman, 
Bnell  "has  had  extensive  practical  experience  over  a  long  ])eriod  of 
years.  .  and  has  always  displayed  a  firm  gra.sp  of  world  realities  and  a 
clear  vision  of  the  responsibilities  which  America  must  assume  if  tlie 
United  States  and  the  United  Nations  are  to  win  the  war  and  the  peace." 
In  the  face  of  the  records,  the  duty  of  the  Republican  voters  in  this 
community  seems  clear.  They  must  choo.sc  between,  on  the  one  hand, 
the  bankrn]>t  leadership  of  a  man  whose  twenty-nine  years  of  Congression- 
al experience  "have  consisted  for  the  most  jiart  of  reasoning  wrongly  from 
wrong  premises  to  wrong  conclu.sions  and  then  voting  wrongly  on  almost 
every  i.ssue  in  the  field  of  foreign  relations";  and  on  the  other,  the  dynamic 
state.smaii.ship  of  a  man  whose  elect  On  will  go  far  toward  making  the  next 
.Congress  "a  Congress  of  leaders  who  see  far  and  who  .see  straight;  a 
Congress  for  Victory,  in  war  and  peace  alike." 

If,  then,  the  Republicans  of  this  community  arc  to  fulfill  their 
obligation  as  citizens  of  America  and  of  the  world,  they  must  cast  t  heir 
primary  vote  for  Raymond  Buell. 


Only  by  decisive  action  to  integrate 
the  college  moreclo.sely  with  the  war 
effort  can  thecommitteeelimiiiate  the 
present  confusion  and  discontent. 
Furthermore,  the  new  war  board  has 
the  responsibility  of  killing  rumors 
which  ereateuncertainty,  Itssquelch- 
iug  of  the  recent  rumor  that  the 
faculty  wants  to  put  all  undergrad- 
uates on  no-cuts  represents  a  forceful 
step  in  this  direction.  Dean  Greg- 
ersen,  a  member  of  the  committee, 
said  yesterday  that  no  .such  acton 
was  eonlem])lated  by  the  faculty, 
nor  would  any  major  change  in  the 
cut  laws  ever  be  taken  without 
first  consulting  the  students. 

The  need  for  a  studeut-i'aculty 
body  which  has  the  power  to  legislate 
on  mutual  problems  becomes  more 
obvious  every  day,  particularly  be- 
cause the  creation  of  the  new  war 
committee  represents  definite  |)ro- 
gress  in  this  direction.  If  the  cut- 
ting system  is  not  working,  a  stu- 
dent-faculty representative  body 
could  logically  tackle  the  iiroiilem. 
Likewise,  such  a  body  could  survey 
the  P,  T,  set-up,  which  we  believe 
has  made  stupendous  gains  during 
the  last  four  weeks;  investigate  the 
need  for  more  war  courses;  help 
solve  the  injustices  arising  from 
the  enforcement  of  the  7:00  p.m. 
wonicn-in-dormitory  rule;  and  part- 
icipate further  in  .solving  many  other 
l)roblems  which  are  now  preventing 
Williams  from  doing  its  best  with 
this  war.  We  ho])e  the  I'ndergrad- 
uatc  Council,  in  evolving  a  new 
form  for  student  government,  will 
incorporate  in  its  projjosals  the 
student  -  faculty  body  which  ha.s 
already  been  i)resaged  by  the  new 
war  committee.

The  New  War  Committee 

Last  week  the  Committee  on  the  State  of  the  C-ollege  in  a  World  at 
War  was  formed,  con.si.sting  of  five  faculty  members  and  as  many  under- 
graduates. Its  |)urpo.se  is  to  di.scover  whether  Williams  is  doing  its  part 
with  the  greatest  po.ssible  effectiveness  in  contributing  towards  winning 
the  war.  Of  course  this  committee  will  discover  that  the  college  is  not 
making  its  best  jio.ssible  contribution.  Our  present  low  morale  i)roves 
this.  Several  facts  of  the  past  summer  —  particularly  coiicerniiig  P,  T., 
housej)artics.  Hell  Week,  and  warnings  —  reveal  that  our  esprit  de  corps 
i.s  far  below  the  interventionist  spirit  of  Williams  in  spring  19H. 

The  new  war  committee  faces  a  gigantip  task  in  finding  out  the  facts 
responsibile  for  our  low  morale,  and  in  evolving  remedies  where  possible. 


When  The  Record  went  to  press,  the 
following  were  in  the  Tlionipsoji  Infirmary: 
Montgomery,  Morgan  '4,?;  Given,  RatlifT 
'44;  Elder,  Henry,  and  Older  '45. 

Hecause  the  beginning  of  the  fall 
athletic  season  and  the  second  harvest  of 
local  crops  coincide,  an  acute  need  for  help 
on  local  farms  has  arisen.  Any  under- 
graduates able  to  engage  in  the  harvesting 
work  and  with  a  free  afternoon  should 
register  with  Mr.  Osterhout  in  5  Hoplcins 
Hall  at  their  earliest  convnience, 

VANDALISM 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
feet  tall,  hatless,  well-dressed,  and  with  a 
small  moustache.  The  other  vandal  was 
described  as  about  live  feet  eight  inches  in 
height,  dark-coniplexiiimd,  with  hair 
parted  in  the  middle,  wearing  a  brown 
suit  and  no  hat. 

The  interior  of  the  lini  was  thoroughly 
wrecked.  Charcoal  from  the  fireplace 
was  fr)und  strewn  on  the  floor.  Tables 
and  chairs  in  the  dining  rooms  and  bar 
were  destroyed,  and  pickets  were  kicked 
out  of  the  main  stairway. 

Working  with  Chief  Royal  on  the  case 
is  State  Detective  John  K.  Horgan  of 
Pittsfield.  Further  developments,  such 
as  reported  theft  of  licpior  from  the  bar, 
may  come  to  light  in  the  near  future, 
authorities  claim. 

Mrs.  Bolster  is  receiving  medical  atten- 
tion for  injuries  and  severe  shock. 


iicmgv  M.  Hopkins 

The  Record  extends  its  sympathy 
to  the  f.iniily  of  the  late  George  M. 
Hopkins  —  for  many  years  a  prom- 
inent merchant  in  Wiltiamstown  and 
always  a  respected  friend  of  Williams.

Glider  Service  Offers  Openings  to  College 
Men   Without   Requirements  of  Air  Force 


by  LESTON  L.  Havens  '45 

(Tliii  is  the  fourth  in  a  series  of  articles 
designed  to  give  a  comprehensive  view  of  the 
opportunities  available  to  college  men  lor 
pulrioiic  service.     The  Editors.) 

For  those  wishing  to  fly  and  unable  to 
meet  the  more  rigid  physical  and  educa- 
tional requirements  of  aviation  cadets, 
there  's  ava'laWe  the  opportunity  of  be- 
loining  glider  pilots  in  the  newest  and  most 
promising  outgrowth  of  the  Army  Air 
I'orce. 

No  longer  does  the  glider  service  de- 
mand previous  flight  experience.  Pros- 
jH'Ctivf  candidates,  between  the  ages  of  18 
anil  36,  now  have  only  to  ])ass  physical  and 
mental  tests.  Mental  examinations  are  of 
ilie  aptitude  type,  requirements  being 
somew  hat  reduced  from  those  demanded  of 
aviation  cadets,  and  for  the  physical  ex- 
.unination,  though  the  same  as  for  flying 
duty,  demands  are  also  lower. 

Private  and   Klyiiif;   Pay 

The  course  of  instruction  lasts  13  weeks 
and  is  divided  into  two  parts.  The  first, 
preparatory  in  nature,  consists  of  learning 
to  fly  a  light  airplane,  the  second  part, 
training  in  glider  piloting.  As  a  student, 
the  trainee  is  enlisted  in  the  Army  Air 
Korces  as  a  private  and  receives  flying  jjay 
in  addition  to  his  regular  salary.  Upon 
successful  completion  of  the  course,  he 
receives  the  rank  of  staff  sergeant  with 
flying  pay,  a  few  outstanding  members  of 
each  class  being  commissioned  second 
lieutenants  in  the  Army  and  receivin(;  fly- 
ing pay  in  that  grade. 

For  those  applicants  with  pilot's  lici'iiscs

In  the  case  of  training  siu<lents  without 
flight  experience  the  first  weeks  are  de- 
voted to  flying  light  planes,  and  the  last 
stage  to  the  all-important  dead  stick  land- 
ing. When  they  have  finished  their 
a'rphine  flying  courses,  all  students  move 
to  the  Air  Force  gi'der  schools.  These  are 
situated  in  somp  of  the  most  attractive 
parts  of  the  country,  the  Southeast  Train- 
ing Center,  for  instance,  having  glider 
schools  at  Cirand  Forks,  N.  D.,  Janesville,

Delta  Phi  Claims  Mythical  Softball   Title; 
Defeated  Faculty  Club  Is  Host  at  Dinner 


With  the  same  master  stroke  the  Delta 
Phi  Softball  team  annexed  the  mythical 
college  championship  and  overcame  trad- 
ition yesterday  noon  by  turning  back  the 
Faculty  nine  4  to  2  on  the  hitter's  new 
Weston  F'ield  stadium,  and  later  enjoying 
a  uniiiue  repast  at  the  Faculty  Clubhouse. 
Save  for  a  rare  football  banquet  this  was 
the  first  student  dinner  ever  enjoyed  at 
the  professorial  sanctum  sanctorum. 

Climaxing  the  campus  world  series,  the 
facultN-  hospitality  was  suiumed  up  by  the 
nine  old  men's  star  twirler,  Charley  Keller, 
who  connnented,  "After  all,  we've  pla\ed 
ball  before,  but  as  for  having  students 
here  for  dinner.  .  . !" 

It  all  started  when  the  D.  Phis  dropped  a 
close  5-4  decision  on  their  home  sod  sewral 
weeks  ago  but  succeeded  in  winning  the 
veterans'  acceptance  to  dinner.  There 
follow<'d  a  second  encounter  last  wi'ek 
featuring  a  12-1  batfest  in  favor  of  the 
intramural  leaders  which  evened  the  series 
count.  Yesterday's  victory  thus  definite- 
ly established  the  D.  Phis,  who  have  won 
fourteen  and  lost  one  (to  the  facuU\-). 
claim  to  the  college  title. 

Delta  Phi   Inning 

The  game  itself  was  decided  in  the  first 
three  innings  of  play  and  thereafter  both 
teams  seemed  pre-occupied  with  other 
ideas  —  dinner  perhaps.  Benfield  led 
off  for  the  visitors  with  a  line  single  off 
Killer  Keller,  followed  by  a  le.\as-league 
double  b\-  Fowler.  When  Heppes  reached 
first  on  a  base  hit,  Roy  Tolles  stepped  up 
to  the  plate  and  cracked  a  resounding 
double  off  the  centcrfield  bleachers, 
cleaning  the  bases  and  knocking  in  three 
runs  e.stablishing  himself  on  second. 
The  old-timers  struck  back  in  the  same 
frame  after  Richardscjn  issued  a  pass  to 
Buffinliin,  Young  singleil,  and  Larrupin' 
I'red  Stocking  lifted  a  double  to  right  field, 
bringing  in  one  tally. 

In  the  third  canto  the  Delta  Phis  gained 
their  linal  marker  as  Fcjwler  started  off 
with  a  bingle.  Heppes  was  out  at  third 
on  a  hard  throw  in  from  center  by  Gilletl; 
and  T'olh's  repeated  by  driving  the  fourth 
run  in  with  a  secimd  drive  to  center.     The 


iiming  closed  when  speedster  T.  J.  Wood 
raced  up  against  the  left  field  fence  to  rob 
pitcher  Richardson  of  a  sure  hit.  In  their 
half  of  the  frame,  the  Faculty  chalked  up 
their  second  and  final  score  when  a  duo  of 
errors  combined  with  I'red  Stocking's 
blast  to  right  field  t<i  drive  in  Buffinton, 
who'd  been  walked  earlier. 

I  )espite  Faculty  thr<'ats  of  "no  des.sert", 
substitute  umpire  Walt  Kosar  officially 
<iiiled  the  ganu-  at  5:45  p.m.,  when  the 
students  triumphanth'  marched offfortheir 
victory  buffet-dinner,  later  followed  by 
an  extensive  lour  of  the  modern  clubhouse. 

In  addition  to  the  members  of  both 
teams,  the  wives  of  the  facult\-  players 
were  present  at  dinner.  Other  guests  in- 
cluded Ed  Pennell,  who,  according  to 
hurler  Keller,  "umped  most  of  our  games" ; 
and  Art  Stevenson,  permanent  scribe  and 
keeper  of  the  score  for  the  Delta  Phis. 


Kirkwood  Exhibition

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY.  SEPTEMBER  11,  1942 


Garfield  Club  Asks  More  Responsibility, 
Petitions  for  Control  of    Currier    Hall 


AiKitlicr  sti-|)  toward  llic  achirvfiiii'iit 
of  .■iTcctivc-  imilergradiKite  govcrmiK'Ht, 
5S  urged  by  a  Recoku  iditorial  List  week, 
will  bv  rfalizod  if  tlic  C'uliegc  a<liniiustr;\- 
tion  acts  on  a  pftitidii  dniwii  up  vl'sIit- 
day  liy  the  C.arficld  Club  to  gain  a  "trans- 
fer of  rcs|)onsil)ility"  to  C'lul)  e\eeutives  for 
the  government  of  Currier  Hall.  Re- 
stricted to  the  use  of  the  two  downstairs 
loungis  in  Currier,  Chd)  nu-inhers  have 
found  theniseUes  without  the  means  (or 
iMitertaining  guests  privately  after  supper, 
especially  since  the  College  has  begun 
stringently  to  enforce  its  long  dormant  rule 
that  "No  women  are  allowed  in  the 
dormitories  between  7:00  p.m.  and  11;00 
a.m." 

Certain  that  any  rules  o(  disciiiline  can 
be  better  enforced  by  a  student  discipline 
committee,  Club  leaders  were  moved  to  act 
by  the  desire  of  the  majority  of  the  mem- 
bers to  be  granted  the  use  of  upstairs 
Currier  Hall  rooms  as  pri\-ate  living  rooms 
for  the  entertainment  of  guests,  as  is  the 
present  custom  at  the  fraternity  houses. 
With  lapses  of  time  occurring  between 
supi)er  and  the  beginning  of  most  college 
dances,  and  with  all  public  gathering- 
places  closed  after  midnight  Saturdajs, 
Club  members  are  now  forced  to  visit 
fraternit\-  houses  where  upstairs  ro(nns 
are  considered  as  living  rooms,  and  where 
fraternity  men  govern  their  own  actions, 
pledged  to  a(  t  as  "gentlemen."  The  only 
alternative  in  the  past  has  been  the 
conuiioii  practice  of  entertaining  guests  in 
Currier  Hall  rooms  in  violation  of  the  rule 
which  the  College  Administration  ad- 
mitti'dly  has  been  unable  to  enforce. 
Policing   Dislusteriil 

That  those  who  have  been  punished  for 
violation  of  the  rule  deser\-e  such  punish- 
ment, no  one  in  the  Club  denies,  but  th.' 
feeling  is  general  that  had  the  Club  been 
in  charge  of  disciiiline  at  the  time,  more 
respect  for  anv  rule  would  have  been 
wid<'spread,  and  that  future  policing  by 
college  agents  wOuld  be  distasteful. 

At  a  meeting  Wednesday  i'\ening,  the 
Ctiib  heard  Dean  HaUdan  (iregersen  tell 
them,   "I  don't  like  the  rule  as  it  stands

any  more  than  you  do.  Hut  as  long  as  it 
stands.  I  nuist  enforce  it."  Several  Club 
men  then  expressed  the  opinion  that  any 
rule  can  be  better  enforced  by  willing 
students  than  by  "soft-shoed  college  cops." 
They  reasserted  their  belief  that  the 
assiunption  of  responsibilit>'  b\'  the  Club 
would  make  for  more  realistic  rules,  and 
for  elTective  enforcement  of  those  rules. 
Uechired  Clul)  Trcsident  Walter  H. 
Stults  '4.^,  "We  can  certainly  do  as  good  a 
job  as  the  houses  in  governing  ourselves, 
and  1  think  we  dc'servc  the  responsibility. 
The  Club  is  sujiposcd  to  have  equality  with 
the  fraternities,  and  the  ability  to  enter- 
tain guests  is  an  important  part  of  this 
ecpiality." 

For    Ml   Otiriiiitftries 

Alan  K.  liurich  '4,S,  stresseil  the  idea 
that  just  as  the  College  has  found  the 
Honor  .System  in  the  classroom  to  be  the 
most  effective  method  of  discipline,  "bo 
will  they  find  that  the  Honor  System 
in  social  discipline  will  bring  a  healthier 
respect  and  better  observance  of  rides." 
He  went  on  to  propose  .1  committee  system 
for  all  the  college  dorms. 

Undecided  as  to  what  body  has  the 
ultimate  authority  for  deciding  such 
matters,  the  petition  committee,  appointed 
by  .Stults,  and  consisting  of  Frederic  S. 
.Nathan  and  Walter  1'.  Kosar  '43,  Henry  L. 
N'iemitz  '44,  Peter  D.  Silverstone  '45, 
and  Robert  D.  Coye.  Jr.  '46,  decided  to 
aihlress  their  request  to  the  president 
directly.  An  appropriate  petition,  having 
the  full  support  of  Deati  Ciregersen  and 
James  M.  Burns,  Club  advisor,  is  being 
circulated  today  and  will  be  forwarded  to 
the  President's  Office  some  time  next 
wi'ek. 

CHEST  FUND 

(Continued  from  p;it;('  1) 
witiler,  will  be  patterned  alter  last  \'i'ar's 
which  featured  round  table  discussions  in 
Jesup  Hall.  Deputations,  the  sending  of 
students  to  help  in  the  churches  arouiul 
W'illiamstown,  began  again  afti'r  Labor

Appropriations  of  S45()  and  S250  have

Baxter's    Tourney     Bids 

kealiztition  of  Dick  liaxter's  plans  for  ;i 
weekenil  of  inter-collegiate  golf  competi- 
tion in  Williamstown  became  a  probability 
last  week  when  N'ale,  New  England  and 
Eastern  college  title-holder,  and  Dart- 
mouth accepted  invitations  to  compete 
with  Williams  and  other  iNew  England 
teams  on  the  Taconic  course  September 
l<)andiO. 

Of  the  three  other  NEICi.'K  squads 
invited.  Harvard  and  Holy  Cross  have  not 
replied  and  Brown  declined  because  of  a 
conllict  with  examinations.  Even  if  llar- 
vtird  and  1  loly  Cross  return  negative 
answers,  it  is  expected  that  the  Elis  and 
Dartmouth  will  still  be  willing  to  come  to 
Williamstown  to  play  a  three-team 
tourney. 

llarMird  ur  I{ouiitl-l(i>liln 

Ua.xter  originally  planned  36  holes  of 
medal  pla>-  Saturday,  with  the  two  to|i 
teams  meeting  .Sunday,  a  competition 
identical  with  last  spring's  NTCK'i.^ 
championships,  but  Brown's  refusal  has 
force<l  consideration  of  a  round-robin. 
The  medal  play  tourney  will  he  held  if 
both  llarxard  and  Holy  Cro.ss  accept, 
while  the  round-robin  type  of  play  is 
pljinned  if  only  three  or  four  teams  com- 
jjetc. 

Pending  acceptance  of  the  alternate 
tournanunt  by  Albert  \'.  Osterhout  '06, 
graduate  intinagcr  of  athlet'cs,  \ale  and 
Dartmoiitli  will  be  asked  to  play  here 
regardless  of  the  decisions  receivcil  from 
flarvard  and  Holy  Cross.  The  original 
plan  lias  already  been  passed  by  Mr. 
Osterhoiit.

knowledge  of  world  affairs  anil  al)ilit\"  to 
foresee  future  trends.  His  record  as 
teacher  of  world  politics  at  Harvard,  Vale, 
Princeton,  Columbia,  the  I'niversity  of 
California,  and  the  Fletcher  School  of  Law 
antl  Diplomacy,  as  well  as  his  participation 
in  immerous  political  conferences  are  also 
singled  out  in  the  letter. 

According  to  national  news  sources, 
including  Time  magazine,  Buell  stands  at 
least  a  hfly-lifty  chance  of  taking  over  the 
29-\ear  old  post  held  by  the  man  who 
opposed  such  measures  as  the  proposed 
fortification  of  Guam  in  1939,  the  repeal 
of  the  arms  embargo,  the  Lend-Lease  Bill, 
the  extension  of  the  dr.ift,  and,  less  than 
three  weeks  before  Pearl  Harbor,  the 
shipment  of  lend-lease  materials  to  those 
lighting  the  common  enemy.  Time  stated: 
"The  histories  of  Messrs.  Buel!  and 
Treadway,  as  well  as  that  of  the  First 
Massachusetts  District,  will  be  determined 
in  a  ding-dong  scramble",  and  prominent 
state  newspapers  have  followed  the  cam- 
l)aign  closely. 

Economic  Association 
Met  Here  on  Saturday 

The  Economic  Histors  .Association  held 
its  second  annual  meeting  in  Williamstown 
last  week-end.  The  association,  made  up 
primarily  of  university  and  college  pro- 
fessors, held  its  first  meeting  last  year  at 
l^rinceton  University.  The  members  were 
welcomed  by  President  James  P.  Baxter, 
3rd  at  their  first  conference  of  the  week- 
end. 

The  principal  speakers  were  Frank  H. 
Knight,  University  of  Chicago;  J.  Mau- 
rice Clark,  Columbia  Iniversity;  G. 
Heberton  Evans  Jr.,  Johns  flopkins  Uni- 
versity, and  John  Nef  also  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago.  ICach  man  is  a 
specialist  in  his  own  held. 

The  weekend  conference  included  a  trip 
to  the  Mount  Hope  Farm,  and  a.  banquet 
at  the  Williams  Inn  on  Saturday  night. 
Etbvin  F.  Gay,  President  of  the  Asso- 
ciation, former  professor  at  Harvard  and 
now  director  of  the  Huntington  Library 
in  ,San  Marino,  Calif.,  has  been  a  frequent

Lerner    Terms     Presidential     Message 
Heartening  Demonstration  of  Leadership 


by  David  W.  Thurston  '44 

Max  Lerner,  professor  of  political 
science,  yesterda>-  termed  President  Roose- 
velt's Labor  Da\-  radio  message  as  "one  of 
the  most  heartening  demonstrations  of  the 
Chief  Executive's  leadership  that  we  have 
had  in  some  time." 

"The  most  important  phrase  in  this 
speech,"  declared  Dr.  Lerner,  "is  'This  is 
the  t(jughest  war  in  history,'  for  it  shows 
the  President  is  determined  that  we  are 
not  going  to  lose  the  war  because  of  in- 
action on  the  home  front.  The  President 
knows  that  this  democracy  will  Itise  the 
war  if  it  is  not  a  strong  state,  and  he  also 
knows  it  can  be  strong  without  being 
tyrannical." 

"We  are  not  going  to  win  this  war  unless 
we  have  a  realh'  great  people,  a  great 
leadership,"  continued  the  author  of  the 
widely-read  Ideus  for  Ihe  Ice  Age.  "The 
people  have  not  stood  up  to  their  full 
moral  stature — we  are  still  bewildered,  we 
are  still  'circusing'  the  war  as  a  great 
spectacle.  We  are  eventualK'  capable  of 
this  moral  greatness:  we  are  bi'ginning  to 
wake  up." 

'Congress  Has  Abdicated' 

"The  Congressional  reaction  to  the 
President's  talk  was  on  the  whole  sensible, 
with  the  exceptions  of  Senators  Taft  and 
LaFollette,  as  the>  know  that  the  Presi- 
dent is  on  good  realistic  ground,"  I  )r. 
Lerner  went  on.  "Congress  has  alreacK' 
abdicated  from  its  decisive  function  and  in 
a  democracy  when  one  branch  abdicates, 
the  other,s  must  take  up  the  slack." 

Dr.  Lerner  <lid  not  wish  to  predict 
whether  the  Congress  would  act  on  the 
establishment  of  a  price  ceiling  and  the 
passage  of  the  tax  bill  before  October  1  as 
the  President  demanded,  but  if  it  does  not 
act,  then  Dr.  f.erner  feels  the  President 
will  be  true  to  his  word  ;ind  will  establish 
them  by  executive  decree. 

Military  and  Economic 

"This  is  fiillx  within  the  Chief  Execu- 
tive's powers,"  he  asserted,  "for  during 
war  he  is  not  only  the  military  com- 
mander-in-chief, but  also  the  economic 
commander-in-chief.  There  are  precedents 
for  this  move  in  the  Lincoln,  Wilson,  and 
Theodore    Roosevelt    administralions." 

Should  the  Piesident  be  forced  to  take 
this  matter  into  his  own  hands.  Dr.  Lerner 
feels  it  would  have  no  effect  upon  the 
coming  elections,  "except  to  make  people 
more  and  more  convinced  that  the  Con- 
gress is  not    our  strongest  line  of  offense 


ol 


and  defense."    This  is  apparent  fmin  i],, 

lack  of  interest  in  the  primaries,  hecliiiim-d 

'Sadly  Deficient' 

"There  are  three  important  lypi 
leadership — military,  economic,  and  (,,„. 
gressional."  Dr.  Lerner  tabbed  the  injlj. 
tary  leadership  "good,  so  far  as  it  hits  l.rcn 
tested,"  and  our  Congressional  as  "sadly 
deficient."  "There  will  have  to  ij^. 
important  changes  in  the  economic  liiirh 
command,"  hi'  said,  "for  we  are  not  by  any 
means  hitting  on  all  cylinders  in  the 
economic  war." 

"Over  all  of  these  leaderships,"  Leincr 
concluded,  "is  the  presidential.  We  h.tvf 
been  waiting  for  presidential  action  to 
stimulate  Congressional  leadership  iM, 
was  just  done.  We  are  still  waitini;  \.,r 
him  to  reorganize  the  economic  li;t;h 
command",  he  stated.  "On  the  iiiilit;ny 
front  his  speech  seemed  to  promise  aciinn 
in  opening  a  second  front  soon.  Rut  u<- 
must  wait  until  these  words  are  transkii.  d 
into  actions."

Goal  Set  at  $4,000 

Thompson  Reveals  $4015 
Given  to  Drive  in  Four 
Days  of  Annual  Appeal 

I  lit'  eightfcnth  annual  CliL-st  Fund 
I)iivi'  of  the  Williams  Christian  Asso- 
ciation went  over  the  top  of  its  niinimuni 
gdiil  last  night  with  the  collection  and 
plrtlKinK  of  $4015  in  the  four  days  of  the 
appeal,  announced  Leonard  C.  Thompson 
'1,;.  Chairman  of  the  Committee  and 
president  of  the  WCA.  "To  the  collec- 
tors," said  Thompson,  "much  praise  is  due 
fur  a  good  job  well  done." 

The  drive,  soliciting  the  entire  college, 
liiijan  Monday  evening  with  a  collectors' 
liaiiqui't  at  the  Kappa  Alpha  House  and 
continued  through  Thursday  night.  Prin- 
cipal speaker  for  the  bani|uet  was  (iarilner 
Knight,  president  of  the  Pittslield  Com- 
munity Chest  and  actuary  of  the  Berk- 
shire Life  Insurance  Co. 

High  Ratio  of  Cash 

Encouragingly  high  this  year  is  the 
r.itio  of  cash  given  to  pledges  made, 
although  an  estimate  of  $6.50  as  the 
average  contribution  per  man  ranks  about 
SI. 00  below  the  average  giveii  last  year. 
I'.mphasis  of  this  drive  has  again  been  laid 
on  the  Boys'  Club,  which  is  to  receive 
$1000,  and  on  War  Relief,  for  which  $700 
has  been  appropriated. 

To  Student  Religious  Aid  ancjther  $700 
will  be  donated,  while  $200  will  go  to 
Community  Welfare  to  be  given  to  the 
Welfare  Association  of  W'illianistown. 
College  religious  work  will  receive  $300. 

Appropriations  of  $100  have  been  made 
to  the  Grenfell  Mission  and  the  Tuber- 
culosis Fund.  Lingnan  I'niversity,  near 
Canton,  China,  will  this  year  receive  $1.50, 
while  $450  and  $250  are  to  be  donated  to 
the  American  Red  Cross  and  WCA  emer- 
gency fund  respectively.  The  budget 
also  contains  $50  for  the  Student  Chris- 
tian Movement. 

Jane  Newhall  Enlisted 
In  Navy  WAVE  Service 

Is  First  of  Volunteers 
from     North     Berkshire 

Adding  to  a  faniib-  record  of  military 
.service.  Miss  Jane  Newhall,  daughter  of 
Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall, 
enlisted  in  the  women's  auxiliary  of  the 
I  -  S.  Naval  Reserve  (WAXES)  last  week, 
being  sworn  in  as  the  first  volunteer  from 
Northern  Berkshire.  The  first  Berkshire 
County  representative  was  Miss  Ann 
L)ii  ly  of  Lee,  sister  of  James  S.  Deely  '43. 

Miss  Deely,  a  graduate  of  Manhattan- 
ville  College  this  year,  will  be  called  with 
ahout  900  other  WAVES  to  Northampton 
on  October  6  to  begin  training.  Miss 
Newhall,  graduated  from  Smith  this  June, 
hopes  to  be  assigned  to  the  first  ofTicer 
tr.Tiuing  group  which  will  be  indoctrinated 
ill  Northampton,  but  as  yet  she  has  not 
received  her  orders. 

Is  Apprentice  Seaman 

As  an  Apprentice  Seaman  in  the 
WAVES  Miss  Newhall  will  receive  a  four 
months'  basic  training  course.  The  ser- 
vice contains  three  units,  into  one  of 
which  she  will  be  allocated  after  the 
course.  Since  she  lacks  technical  or 
ailniinistrative  training,  Miss  New^hall 
fiels  that  she  might  be  placed  in  the 
coniniunications  division,  rather  than  the 
specialized  and  organizational  branches. 
Substituting  women  for  men  in  these  lines 
will  leave  nicn  free  for  combat  service. 

A  desire  to  make  a  positive  contribution 
toward  the  war  cfTort  and  a  chance  for 
iKivelty  and  adventure  were  cited  by  Miss 
Newhall  as  her  basic  reasons  for  joining 
Ihe  WAVES.  Since  she  was  in  the  midst 
"'  exams  at  Smith  when  the  Army  parallel 
program  (WAACS)  came  out,  she  did  not 
consider  enlisting  in  this  service. 

Follows  Family  Tradition 
Military  service  is  a  family  tradition 
with  the  Newhalls.  Acting  President 
Newhall  was  a  licutetiant  in  the  28th 
Infantry,  First  Division  and  Mrs.  Newhall 
*rvecl  in  the  Smith  College  Relief  Unit

Caldwell  Switches 
Training  Emphasis 
To  Defensive  Play 

Team  Spirit  on  Upswing 
with  Middlebury  Game 
Only    One    Week    Away 

Emphasis  in  varsity  footliall  training 
this  week  shifted  from  offense  to  defense 
as  Coach  Charlie  Caldwell  began  to  bring 
his  team  to  a  peak  for  its  debut  on  Weston 
Field  next  Saturday  against  Middlebur\-. 
With  the  lirsl  game  only  a  week  away, 
team  spiiit  is  on  the  upswing,  but  ab- 
sences are  still  cutting  into  the  effective- 
ness <if  the  daily  practices. 

Schmidt,  Hayes  Pass 
Attention  was  centered  early  in  the 
week  on  completing  a  series  of  pass  pla\s. 
Bill  Schmi<lt  and  Gunner  Haxeshave  been 
rapidly  improving  their  passing  arms,  and 
this  week's  work-outs  indicate  that  the 
Eph  aerial  attack  will  !>c  stronger  than 
previoush'  expected. 

Practical  defensi\<'  i  ^perience  was  pro- 
vided on  Wednesihn  when  the  second 
team  was  given  the  b.ill  on  the  five-yard 
line  and  told  to  score  as  (luickly  as  possible 
against  the  opposing  lirst  eleven.  With 
their  backs  to  the  wall  the  first  squad 
looked  green  but  h;id  ihc  light  to  tie  up  the 
B  team  offense. 

The  swelterini;  Ileal  during  the  week 
conditioned  Caldwell's  men  against  a 
repeat  petfornianee  of  last  year's  heat- 
caused  Princeton  debacle.  That  the

Dean  Grants  Club 
Dormitory  Control 

Undergraduates  Accept 
Discipline  Responsibility 
over     Currier     Building 

The  awaited  first  movi — "a  temporary 
step" —  toward  the  achievement  of  better 
undergraduate  governniini  was  taken 
this  week  when  Dean  llalfdan  Gregersen, 
acting  upon  the  re(|uest  and  petition  ol 
the  Garfield  Club,  granted  partial  control 
'if  discipline  in  Currier  Hall  to  a  Club 
riimmittee.  This  move  follows  the  Club's 
pc'titi<m  for  more  responsibility,  and  a 
KecORD  editorial  urging  elimination  of  a 
"glaring  injustice"  to  the  Club. 

Stults  '43  Heads  Comtnittee 

The  new  government  will  consist  of  an 
■  iifcircement  committee,  headed  by  Presi- 
dent Walter  E.  Stults  '4,?,  and  including 
Kobert  W.  Hinman,  Club  vice-president, 
and  Murray  Cohen  '43.  The  group  will 
liii\e  control  over  <'nforcement  of  college 
1  uUs  in  Currier  Hall,  but  will  not  have  the 
power  of  making  its  own  rules,  as  asked  in 
the  petition. 

Because  the  committee  has  not  been 
granted  the  complete  "transfer  of  respons- 
ibility", the  college  rule  stipulating  that 
women  must  be  out  of  the  dormitories  by 
■/  p.  ni.  will  continue  in  force,  but  the  com- 
mittee ma\"  arrange  with  the  Dean  for  an 
extension  of  hours  on  certain  weekends. 
Gregersen  Statement 

"We  >ha\\  watch  the  expiriment  at 
Currier  Hall  with  interest,"  remarked 
Dean  C.icger.sen.  "We  feel  thai  the  Gar- 
field Club  will  successfully  assume  its 
respiiii-ibility,  and  will  merit  its  govern- 
nienl." 

Pr(>ident  Stults  declared  that  "the  Club 
is  grateful  for  this  partial  recognition  of 
its  n(|Uests.  This  development  is  by  no 
means  the  full  measure  of  responsibility 
and  control  which  we  seek,  but  we  are 
obligated  to  the  whole  school  to  make  our 
government  work,  and  thus  prove  this  an 
efficient  form  of  dormitory  discipline." 


'Record'  Poll  Reveals  75%  of  Undergraduate 
Body  Favor  Abolition  of  Compulsory  Chapel 


(.Tins  story  is  presented  in  order  that 
Williams  College  will  know  how  under- 
graduates jeel  about  compulsory  chapel. 
The  editors  believe  compulsory  should  not 
be  abolished.  This  represents  a  complete, 
we  .feel  itistified,  reversal  of  policy  since 
1935,  when  the  editor  quoted  below  was 
writing.  But  50%  of  tlw  staff,  and  TS''/,.  of 
the  undergraduate  body  have  a  different 
belief,  and  consequently  wc  are  making  the 
story  below  available  to  all.  Those  who 
believe  abolition  of  the  compulsory  element 
desirable  can  make  their  opinion  felt  through 
the  new  student  government  Executive  Com- 
mittee now  proposed  by  the  U.  C. — The 
Editors), 

by  Philip  K.  Hastings  '44 
Last  week  75%  of  thestudcnt  body  voted 
to  abolish  compulsory  chapel.  The  poll 
was  conducted  by  THE  RECORD  in  order 
to  obtain  undergraduate  opinion  regard- 
ing the  clement  of  compulsion  now  existing 
in  religion  at  Williams.  The  last  such 
poll  was  held  here  in  1938  when  54.3%  of 
the  student  body  voted  to  maintain  forced 
attendance  at  chapel  once  a  week. 
Daily  Chapel  Almlishcd 
Until  1935  Williams  men  were  com- 
pelled to  attend  daily  chapel  in  addition  to 
a  Sunday  service.  At  this  time  a  move- 
ment arose  to  abolish  compulsory  daily 
chapel,  and  it  was  successful.     During  the 


coiitro\'ersy  The  RECORD  printed  .t  series 
!  of  editorials  in  favor  of  aVjolition.  "Chapel 
has  long  lacked  the  character  of  a  religious 
!  service.  The  presence  there  of  so  many 
liy  coercion  and  reluctantly  created  a 
I  condition  unfavorable  to  religious  worship, 
and  the  result  was  a  service  which,  far 
from  promoting  the  religious  life  of  the 
college,  actually  had  an  adverse  effect." 
The  editorials  went  on  to  say  that  "com- 
pulsory chapel  robs  a  man  of  precisely  the 
thing  that  may  make  him  religious — his 
power  to  energize  his  own  choice." 
Previous  Rccoril  Statcnipiit 
After  the  issue  had  been  settled  THE 
Record  printed  in  its  editorial  colunm  the 
following  statement;  "So  far  not  a  word 
has  been  breathed  about  compulsory 
Sunday  chapel.  As  a  necessary  evil  it 
may  have  to  remain  a  Williams  institution 
for  many  years  to  come.  But  compulsory 
religion  on  Sunday,  though  lasting  for  an 
hour,  is  no  holier  than  compulsory  religion 
on  a  week  day.  Now  that  the  inherent 
contradiction  of  the  latter  has  been  ad- 
mitted, the  former  must  openly  and  con- 
f?ssedly  be  maintained  inerely  to  keep 
students  in  town  over  the  weekend.  It 
seems  unlikely  that  this  will  prove  in  the 
long  run  to  be  a  satisfactory  basis  for  the 
expression  of  religion  through  worship."

Marines  to  Begin 
Training  Reserves 

Correspondence  Course 
Will  Teach  Essentials 
of     Marine     Knowledge 

Definite  action  on  the  part  of  the  United 
States  Marine  Corps  to  pre|)are  men  in 
colleges  who  are  members  of  the  Corps 
Reserve  for  future  military  service  was 
taken  last  week  with  the  institution  of  a 
correspondence  course  containing  the 
essentials  of  Marine  knowledge. 
Applications  Sent  Out 

All  members  of  the  Marine  Reserve  who 
are  now  in  college  have  received  applica- 
tion blanks  for  the  course,  which  is  to  be 
run  on  a  purely  voluntary  basis  over  a  six 
month  period.  The  first  set  of  weekly 
lessons  are  expected  to  arrive  shortly. 

The  participants  in  the  course  are  to  be 
given  no  definite  time  schedule  on  which 
to  work,  and  may  proceed  at  their  own 
convenience,  mailing  each  completed 
assignment  back  to  the  Marine  Corps 
Schools  at  Quantico  for  correction.  Indi- 
vidual records  of  advancenu'nt  will  be 
kept  there,  and  students  will  receive  a 
certificate  from  the  Corps  on  completion 
of  the  course.  In  his  letter  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Reserve,  the  course  director 
emphasized  the  fact  that  the  lessons  are  in 
no  way  intended  to  interfere  with  the

College  Votes  Thursday 

Robert  B.  Kittredge  '43,  President  of 
the  Undergraduate  Council,  announced 
this  week  .i  proposed  plan  for  elTective 
student  government.  The  plan  calls  for 
the  creation  of  an  Executive  Committee 
of  Student  Government  which  will  be 
responsible  to  the  student  Ijody.  It  will 
consist  of  the  four  class  jiresidents,  the 
president  of  the  Inter-fraternity  Council, 
and  two  other  members  from  the  senior 
class,  elected  by  the  si'iiiiir  class.  Kittredge 
has  called  a  college  meeting  on  September 
24.  at  7:,S0  p.m.  in  Chapin  Mall  to  vote 
on  the  proposed  plan. 

In  place  of  the  old  Undergraduate 
Council  will  be  the  Executive  Committee 
of  Student  Goxernnient  and  an  Inter- 
fraternity  Council.  The  Executive  Com- 
mittee will  be  delegated  enough  ])ower  to 
handle  student  government  effectively 
while  the  Inter-fraternity  Council  will 
legislate  and  enforce  regulations  on  all 
extra-curricular  activities  which  directly 
concern  the  social  groups.  Heads  of 
houses  will  automatically  be  appointed 
to    this    council. 

The  Undergraduate  Council  presents 
four  arguments  for  innovating  the  new- 
plan. 

KeasoiiH    Uyr    Keviaion 

1)  The  proposed  Inter-fraternity 
Council  can  devote  its  time  to  purely 
fraternity  matters  and  the  petty  details 
which  bog  flown  the  U.  C.  as  it  exists  now. 
Vital  questicns  will  now  be  shifted  to  the 
Executi\e  Committee. 

2)  The  very  nature  of  the  U.  C,  with 
its  elections  on  a  fratenuty  basis,  makesfor 
faction  in  student  government  policy. 
.Spoti>  membership  has  resulted  in  in- 
elTcrti\i'  leadership.  A  large  unwieldy 
grou|),  looking  after  fraternity  r.ilhcr 
than  college  welfare,  has  precluded  tlic 
possil)ilit\'  of  students  taking  sonu'  hand 
in    matters  of  C(;lU'ge   policy. 

Lower  CUikk  Kepresentativcs 

3)  The  new  system  pro\'i<les  for  lower 
class  representation,  for  the  real  leaders 
of  each  class  will  be  members  of  the 
Executive  Commiitee.  Men  elected  to 
such  positions  will  be  natural  leaders, 
an<l  by  the  iin])ortanee  of  their  positions, 
these  men  will  be  ins|)ired  to  conduct  their 
affairs  to  the  best  interests  of  the  college. 
Lower  class  representation  in  student 
government  should  make  elections  have 
more  meaning,  and  should  tend  toward 
greater  cohesion  in  undergraduate  opinion 
and  action. 

4)  In  order  that  undergraduates  may 
take  a  more  active  part  in  problems  of  the 
college,  the  student  body  must  establish 
an  organ  capable  of  inspiring  confidence 
in  both  students  and  faculty.  We  be- 
lieve that  the  proposi'd  Executive  Com- 
mittee, with  the  interests  of  the  student 
body  .18  a  whole  to  look  after,  will  in- 
evitably provide  greater  faculty-student 
cooperation.  We  believe  that  we  are 
setting  the  scope  for  enlarging  the  scope 
of  student  government,  an<l  that  by  a 
show  of  initiative  will  encourage  the 
faculty  to  provide  for  greater  student 
participation  in  the  decisions  which  make 
college  policy.

The  following  is  the  proposerl  constitu- 
tion:—

A  Gain  For  Student  Government 

III  tile  fall  of  I'^.il  tlie  student  liody  almost  iiiiaiiinioii.sly  approved 
a  new  eonstitiition  for  student  K<>veninieiil  at  NVilliimis  College.  That 
new  form  of  government  represented  a  distinct  iinprovenieiit  and  worked 
efficiently  for  several  years.  Hut  today,  less  than  ten  years  after,  what 
was  a(le(|iialc  is  adeiiiiate  no  longer.  During'  llie  past  two  years  the 
.shortconiings  of  the  riidergTadiiate  Council  have  lieeoine  iiicrea.singly 
more  apparent. 

Today  tlie  riidergradiiate  Coiiiicil  projioses  a  new  constitution  pro- 
viding for  a  seiiaratioii  of  ])owers  between  an  Inli-r-fraternity  Council 
and  an  K.xecutive  Coniniittee.  That  constitution,  jirinted  in  today's 
i.s,sne.  is  a  tlocunient  which  we  iiiuiiialifiedly  aiiiirove,  for  more  aggressive 
leadership,  with  no  relaxation  of  student  reiiresenlation,  will  be  made 
liossiiile  under  its  framework  of  law.  President  Kobert  B.  Kittrcdge 
and  liis  siiecial  committee  deserve  tlie  warm  prai.se  of  every  student  anx- 
ious for  self-government. 

There  are,  however,  two  proimsals  which  the  new  constitution  fails 
to  make.  These  omissions  can  be  remedied  soon  after  the  new  govern- 
iiieiil   .starts  to  function. 

First,  the  section  reading,  "'Matters  of  undergradiiate  discipline 
which  are  not  liaii<lled  by  the  college  Committee  on  Dis(i])liiie  or  whicli 
are  refcricd  to  the  Executive  Committee  by  the  Dean  shall  be  dealt  with 
by  the  Kxeciitive  Committee,"  is  a  hall-way  measure.  The  ability  to 
enforce  legislation  is  essential  to  effective  undcrgradiiale  government, 
and  for  this  reason  we  are  convinced  that  the  ]>owcrs  of  llie  Committee 
on  Disciiiline,  now  in  the  hands  of  four  faculty  members  and  two  iiiider- 
gradiiates.  iiiiisl  lie  given  to  the  Executive  Committee.  This  is  a  revolu- 
tionary iirojiosal,  1ml  nevertheless  an  ah.soliitely  necessary  step  which 
undergraduate  .self-governnient  must  soon  take.  Such  action  can  better 
be  taken  under  the  new  constitution  than  before  its  ado|)lioii. 

Sectmd,  some  provision  must  be  made  for  undergraduate  represen- 
tation at  faculty  ineeliiigs.  Student-faculty  interdependence  .should  he 
recognized;  an  iinderstandiiig  of  the  student  viewjioint  is  as  necessary 
to  faculty  legislation  as  realization  of  faculty  aims  is  to  student  morale. 
The  Conimittcc  on  the  State  of  the  (/illege  in  a  World  at  War,  composed 
of  five  faculty  inenibers  and  as  many  iinilergradiiates,  has  already  proved 
that  the  jioolingof  ideas  between  faculty  and  students  can  pay  tremendous 
dividends  in  terms  of  more  effective  deterniinatioii  of  policy  and  of  strong- 
er implementing  of  proi>osals.  In  tlic  near  future,  the  new  Executive 
('ommittee  must  evolve  a  student  governineiital  system  in  which  it  has 
definite  power  lo  legislate  with  the  iiieiilly  on  mutual  problems. 

.V  college  meeting  next  Thursday  in  Chapin  Hall  will  decide  the 
future  of  sliideiit  govcnimciit  at  Williams  College.  Each  of  us  has  a 
double  responsibility  on  that  tlate:  to  he  present,  to  vote  yes.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  SEPTEMBKlt  18,  1942 


Perry  Finds  V-1  Qualifying  Exams  Emphasize 
Liberal  Arts  Courses  As  Well  As  Technical 


The  Joint  Army- Navy- Mariiiu  Corps- 
Coast  Ciuinl  Collegiate  I'rocurement  Com- 
mittee this  week  released  to  the  Dean's 
( )llice  a  sample  of  the  second  year  Naval 
(|iialification  examination  for  the  V'-l 
reserve.  William  C",.  I'erry,  assistant  to 
ihe  dean,  commented  on  the  test,  "Judging 
purely  from  the  sample  given,  I  would  say 
ihat,  although  basic  mathematics  and 
physics  are  recpiired,  the  average  student 
would  cpialify  himself  for  the  examination 
as  well  or  hotter  through  the  lil)eral  arts 
courses  as  he  would  thronnh  technical 
courses." 

Tlirce  Purl  Kxain 

The  sample  examination  was  divided 
into  three  parts, — general  verbal  aptitude 
and  training,  mathematics,  and  physics. 
In  the  first  part  the  students  are  asked  to 
deal  with  distinctions  between  words  and 
to  arrange  words  in  regard  to  their  simi- 
larity and  dissimilarity,  much  as  in  the 
f.ishion  of  the  scholastic  aptitude  tests. 
In  one  sample,  a  set  of  four  words  is  given 
with  the  object  to  match  a  pair  of  op- 
pj)sites.  They  include  such  words  as 
"incipient,"  "amenable,"  "spurious,"  and 
"taciturn." 

KiiiphiiKi/.L-  Liheriil  .\rls 

"The  standards  of  qualifications  as  laid 
down  by  the  Navy  in  this  particular 
sample  emphasize  a  more  ad\'anced  stan- 
(hird  of  liberal  education  than  of  a  teelinl- 
cal,"  Mr.  I'erry  asserted.  "The  work  that 
recruits  are  going  to  do  is  technical,  and 
their  training  will  be  technical,  but  in  the 
general  classifications,  the  Navy  appears 
to  want  recruits  to  bo  able  to  sec  \erb;d 
and  liberal  arts  distinctions,  as  well  as 
demanding  that  they  handle  figures." 

Mr.  I'erry  cpialified  his  statement  I  y 
adding,  "These  remarks,  based  on  a 
sample  of  the  second  year  \'-l  (pialifying 
examination,  in  no  way  modify  the  Navy's 
need  for  advanced  technical  men.  If  the 
samples  indicate  the  level  of  difficulty  and 
not  merely  the  form,"  Mr.  Perry  went  on, 
"the  general  wrbal  aptitude  test  appears 
to  be  the  hardest. 

I'liinlH  l<>  Naval  .\<'a<li-my 
"The  j.revalent    restlessness  of  college 
students    is  due   in    part    to   the    lack  of 


|)erception  of  the  applicability  of  a  liberal 
arts  eilucation  to  their  |)ersonal  situation 
and  to  the  world  situation.  The  long 
range  value  of  a  liberal  arts  education  is 
the  same  as  it  always  was,  but  the  (|uestion 
of  innnediatc  |)racticability  looms  abnor- 
mally large  because  of  the  war.  The  test 
should  be  a  reassurance  to  the  students  of 
the  immediate  value  of  a  liberal  arts 
education,"  said  he. 

Mr,  I'erry  noted  that  at  the  Naval 
.•\cadeniy  at  Annapolis,  which  is  a  spi-cial- 
ized  college,  they  svill  maintain  the  same 
standards  of  English,  history,  and  other 
liberal  arts  subjects.  Kighty  |)er  cent  of 
the  oHicers  in  the  Army  are  college  grad- 
uates, yet  for  the  whole  army  officers 
and  enlisted  men — the  figure  is  bm  twelve 
|)er  cent,  Mr.  I'erry  averred.

Cut  off  last  month  from  a  large  portion 
of  radio  listeners  in  the  freshman  (|uad  li\' 
the  college's  unexpected  removal  of  com- 
munication wires,  WMS  may  once  again 
be  heard  in  Williams  and  Sage  Hall-., 
John  0.  Copley  '44,  technical  manager  nf 
the  campus  radio  station,  ann(iuncr(l 
yesterday.  He  said  that  the  college 
decided  to  cut  down  the  wires  early  in 
August,  w'hen  they  were  considered  both  I 
iin  ighlh'  and  dangerous. 

Will  Rewire  Quad 
'I'iaii^  are  now  under  wa\',"  the  lecl)- 
ni  al  nian.iijef  went  on,  "bt  let  the  fierli- 
nien  lune  in  on  WMS  sometime  in  the 
ver\  mar  future.  Ever  since  last  month, 
when  nur  coniniunicaticin  wires  between 
Hopkins  Hall  and  Sigma  Phi  were  torn 
down,  wr  have  not  been  heard  in  the  quad 
at  all  well,  liecausi-  the  freshmen  com- 
prise a  good  bit  of  WMS's  radio  audience, 
sometliing  had  to  be  tlone  si)eedil\." 

C(jple\'  also  stated  that  although  ;i  few 
of  the  fraternities  had  cinnplained  that 
they  were  unahle  to  hear  WMS,  the  sta- 
tion was  unable  to  remed\"  the  situation 
at  the  present  lime.  The  New  England 
Ti'lephcine  and  Telegraph  Company,  from 
whom  WMS  has  rented  wires  to  several  of 
the  fraternities,  would  not  be  able  to 
install  an\-  more  comnumication  line^ 
for  the  station  until  the  war  is  over 
Wire,  which  has  becnnie  essential  to  the 
war  effort,  can  be  installed  only  for  the 
most  vital  needs.

WMS  has  now  heijun  an  hour  program

a  Gilbert  and  .Sulli\an  show,  in  response 
to  a  survey  that  was  recenth-  made  of  all 
the  fraternities.  This  survey  revealed  a 
large  demand  for  more  classiciil  music, 
and  also  for  light  opera. 

Robert  W .  Ilinman  '43,  president  of

CHAPEL  POLL 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
i)|jinioiis  Ke^isU'red 

In  last  week's  \"ote,  students  were  asked  ' 
to  give  reasons  to  back  np  their  decisions. 

From  the  75' ,  wliot'a\<»redal>filitif>ii. 
llie  following  reasons  were  preseiilecl:- 

"I  think  that  ihe  whole  si)irit  of  chapel 
is  ruined  by  forcing  a  person  to  go." 

"Religion  has  never  been  successfully 
imposed  on  anyone.  Compulsion  itself, 
helitiles  the  spirit  in  which  religion  must 
he  accepted  to  be  of  \'aUie." 

"Hasicidly  religion  should  lie  a  m.itter  of 
\'olition  ratherthan  compulsion." 

"Compulsion  deadens  ihe  beauty  of 
religion.  The  only  beaut\  in  the  service 
is  the  choir." 

"Chapel  now  hasn't  cwn  .i  suggestion 
of  religious  atmosphere  students  are 
studying,  sleeping " 

"Religion  is  a  thing  that  comes  from 
within,  ^'on  absolutely  can't  force  reli- 
gion into  anyone." 

"Makes  for  hypocrisy  and  antipathy  to 
religion." 

"Because  forcing  a  man  into  a  chapel 
causes  him  to  react  negatively,  hence  he 
goes  to  sleep.  He  would  get  far  more  good 
from  drifting  willingly  into  chapel  a  few 
times  a  year  than  when  forced  c\'ery 
Sunday." 

"Religion  is  a  i)crsonal  matter  and  not 
one  that  needs  to  be  aired  in  'mass'  dis- 
plays." 

'I'he  following  arc  Boiiie  llial  were 
proposed  in  defciiHC  ol'  compulsory 
ehnpel : 

"What  the  world  needs  today  is  to 
become  conscious  of  God  again.  ' 

"Nice  old  tradition." 

"It's  an  essential  part  of  a  Williams 
liberal  arts  education.  Also  it  gets  the 
college  together  once  a  week." 

"Chapel  should  be  considered  an 
essential  part  of  every  man's  educ.ition  as 
much  as  any  required  course.  It  is  worth 
while  to  force  religion  on  certain  students 
in  order  to  get  them  to  think  about  the 
church  and  religion." 

"A  swell  place  to  sober  up  after  an 
av'crage  weekend  of  dis-regimenlation."

lost    as    much    as    ele\'en    pounds    (hiring 
pracliers. 

No  Serious  Injuries 

Caldwell  has  been  forlunate  this  season 
in  not  losing  any  of  his  men  because  of 
serious  jiractice  injuries.  Scholastic  cas- 
ualties have  made  deeper  iinoads  into  hi^ 
squad  as  a  back,  guard,  and  tackle  have 
been  tnrced  to  leave  practice  until  after 
mid-\'ear  examinatit)ns. 

The  tesam  that  Captain  Bill  Courier 
will  lead  to  ne.\l  Saturday's  kick-ofT  is  now 
virtually  decided.  Since  the  tradilional 
Cahlwell  policy  is  fre<iuent  substitution, 
it  is  likely  that  all  of  the  men  on  llu'  lirsl 
two  teams  will  see  ser\'ice. 

Captain  C(mrter  will  probabK'  be  a 
ixly  nunute  phner  al  his  keystone 
position  in  the  center  of  the  line.  .No 
other  candidates  for  this  position  ha\e 
sIkjwu  iIk'  abilit\'  to  replace  Courier  for 
an\'  length  of  lime. 

Renzi  at  Guard 

The  liiu'..  irrepressible  and  consistent 
spark  plug,  Ralph  Renzi,  has  clinched  one 
of  the  guard  [lositions  Hanking  Courtei . 
Fighting  it  nut  for  the  other  guard  posi- 
tions are  Kd  Spaelh  and  John  Wakeman. 

John  Si  legman,  a  guard  in  the  1941 
season,  has  capably  taken  over  a  starting 
tackle  slot,  but  will  have  to  keep  stepping 
to  stay  ahead  of  versatile  Bob  Gardner, 
who  is  working  out  as  both  a  center  and 
tackle.  The  oilier  tackle  position  is  a  toss 
up  between  Art  \  cirys  and  Coby  Wilson. 

\'cteran  Bob  Wallace  has  been  making 
spectacularK'  elTective  pass  catches  and  is 
a  sure  bet  to  lake  the  brunt  at  the  right 
end  of  the  line.  Carl  Gruber  an<l  Dick 
Means  are  neck  and  neck  for  the  left  end 
position,  but  hard  hitting  Andy  Knox  is 
not  far  behind. 

Experience  is  the  keynote  of  the  first 
backlield.  SpeedsKTS  Schmidt  and  Hayes 
will  do  the  bulk  of  the  end-around  and 
broken  field  running.  Bill  Orr  looks  like 
a  sure  thing  for  power  plays  through  the 
line,  and  Tom  Powers  does  some  \'aluable 
blocking  as  well  as  calling  the  plays.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  SEPTEMBER  18,  1942 


'Better  Organization,  Greater  Leadership, 
Firmer  Resolve/  Lerner  Asks  of  Williams 


"Voii  don't  chaiiKc  from  things-;is-iisu;il 
to  things-in-wartime  iueri'K-  l)y  doing 
thint's-as-tisual  fifty  |jercent  more."  Thus 
Professor  Max  I.frni'r  attacked  in  a  speech 
over  VVMS  last  Thiirsilay  night  Williams' 
p.irt  in  the  national  war  effort. 

Asking  what  it  is  "that  constitutes  the 
health  anil  strength  of  nations."  Mr. 
I.t-rner  called  for  "better  organization, 
greater  leadership,  firmer  moral  resolve" 
as  \ilal  both  to  country  and  to  college. 

KforKUiiizf  l*ri-»«iit  'ruleiils' 

Students  throughout  the  college,  he 
asserted,  "have  an  uneasy  sense  that  there 
are  a  lot  of  things  they  should  be  si)ending 
their  time  on  which  will  fit  them  much 
more  adequately  for  their  jobs  during  the 
next  five  years  than  they  are  now  being 
fitted."  Terming  the  question  not  one  of 
adding  or  dropping  courses,  Mr.  l.erner 
called  It  rather  a  matter  "of  planning  and 
reorganizing  the  material  and  talents  that 
we  have  already  among  students  and 
tacidty." 

In  respect  to  its  need  for  leadership  a 
college  is  not  far  dilferent  from  any  other 
institution  in  the  nation,  he  asserted,  de- 
manding "Look  into  your  hearts  and  ask 
yourselves — those  of  you  who  are  in 
positions  of  leadership  among  the  student 
hody  -whether  you  are  exerting  that 
leadtTship." 

('.ui\»  for  Fighting  Faith 

"There  can  be  no  democratic  health  in 
the  whole  political  body,"  Mr.  l.erner 
went  on,  "if  we  give  only  lip  service  to 
democracy   in  the   colleges,  if  we  do  not 


in  the  world—then  I  don't  think  we  can 
make  a  fighting  faith  out  of  it." 

More  than  the  inculcation  of  knowledge 
Mr.  l.erner  asserted  to  be  the  duty  of 
education;  "it  must  also  be  the  task  of 
educati<ni  to  instill  the  belief  without 
which  all  bullets  are  blind  and  all  know- 
ledge aimless.' 

Closing  the  speech  with  an  exhortation 
to  Williams  men  to  think  constructively 
on  the  war,  .Mr.  l.erner  s;iid,"This  is  the 
time  for  toughness,  a  time  of  preparation, 
a  time  for  the  quiet  core  of  conviction 
which  alone  can  win  wars  because  it  alone 
is  great  enough  to  meet  the  demands  of 
life."

(The  iiimluhle  iincertinnlies  of  war-lime 
condilioiis  have  made  it  impossible  for  aiiy 
news  aneticy  lo  speak  with  authority  uii 
matters  concerning  the  armed  forces  and 
their  plans  for  recruiting  manpower.  No 
guarantees  can  he  made.  THE  RECORD  Kill 
try  to  culled  and  publish  the  latest  infor- 
mation concerning  the  military  services  us 
soon  us  such  information  is  released  by 
recognized  uiithortties. — The  Editors.) 

In  a  memorandum  to  the  members  iil 
the  Faculty  released  Tuesday,  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall  called 
attention  to  the  following  statement 
issued  by  the  American  Council  on  Eiduca- 
tion  as  an  interpretation  of  Secretary 
Stimson's  recent  announcement  relative 
to  the  War  Department's  policy  covering 
the  Arm\    Eidisted  Reserve  Corps. 

The  Secretary's  statement  and  con- 
ferences belli  by  the  officers  of  lhi>  .'\ineri- 
can  Comicil  with  Army  represeiuatives 
lead  the  Council  to  offer  the  folhiwing 
conclusions  as  a  guide  to  college  and 
universits-  students. 

Conclusions   of   Council 

"1.  There  is  no  indication  that  the 
Army  will  call  to  active  dut\  members 
of  the  .AERC,  or  those  enlisting  during 
the  semester,  prior  to  the  end  ol  the  term 
or  semester  beginning  in  Septeiidier  even 
though  they  are  or  become  of  Selective 
Ser\'ice  age. 

"2.  In  the  future  the  same  principle 
will  apply;  that  is,  men  in  the  .'\ERC  will 
probalih  not  be  called  to  active  duty  until 
the  end  of  the  semester  or  term  in  which 
they  reach  approximate  Selective  Service 
age. 

"3.  It  is  now  planned  that  Selective 
Service  age  will  be  interpreted  at  the 
equivalent  age  at  which  a  man  would 
otherwise  be  inducted  through  .Selective 
Servici — approximateU'  20  \xars  and  6 
months. 

"4.  The  Army  intends  to  use  the 
facilities  of  the  colleges  and  universities 
for  such  training  as  ma\  he  amsidered 
ni'cessary    for   future   officer   candidates. 

"5.  There  is  no  indication  that  the 
Navy,  Marine  Corps,  or  Coast  Guarel  will 
make  a  similar  change  in  their  respective 
Reserve  Corps  plans. 

"6.  As  previously  announced,  the  Re- 
cruiting Team  from  all  Services  will  be- 
gin the  visits  to  college  campuses  on 
Sejjtember  15th." 

War  Dep't  Bulletin 

The  War  Department,  in  its  mo.st  recent 
iiliicial  bulletin  to  the  college  concerning 
the  AERC,  states  the  following: 

"When  enlisted  reservists  are  called  to 
active  duty,  the  Army  will  determine  what 
further  training  is  reciuired  to  qualify 
these  men  for  militar\  duty.  For  this 
purpose  the  War  Department  will  adopt 
such  methods  and  utilize  such  facilities 
of  their  own  or  of  the  colleges  as  will  best 
meet  the  current  military  requirements. 

"In  general,  training  after  call  to  active 
duty  will  be  highly  specialized  to  qualify 
the  men  for  specific  military  duty.  Such 
training  will  be  given  only  as  reciuired  by 
military  necessity  and  will  be  concentrated 
into  the  minimum  time  period.  Plans 
under  consideratiini  coiuemplate  an  R.O. 
'I'.C.  training  program  modified  to  con- 
form to  this  policy." 

The  President's  Ofiice  also  released  the 
information  that  the  Na\y  and  Marine 
Corps  Reserves  have  not  set  up  definite 
(luotas  of  enlistment  for  individual  col- 
leges. Every  possible  candidate  will  be 
inducted  if  he  demonstrates  officer  ability 
and  can  fulfill  the  standard  requirements. 

NEW  COURSES 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Give  College  Credit 

Both  courses  are  on  a  more  elementary 
basis  than  that  provided  by  Physics  5-6 
and  11-12.  These  two  standard  subjects 
of  the  Physics  department  can  lead 
directly  to  a  second  lieutenant's  com- 
mission in  the  Signal  Corps,  when  accom- 
panied by  a  college  degree.  Both  the  new 
courses  in  Electricity  and  Electronics 
would  receive  college  credit  for  two  present 
subjects,  although  nut  eligible  for  credit 
in  the  physics  major.  Only  Electricity 
5b,  however,  could  be  elected  alone. 

Candidates  for  these  possible  courses, 
who  are  in  the  Eidisled  Reserves,  and  who 
will  be  twenty  \ears  old  before  the  end  of 
the  next  semester,  will  be  given  first  pre- 
ference. Students  will  further  be  selected 
on  the  basis  of  previous  grades,  while 
others  will  be  admitted  if  room  permits. 

All  those  interested  in  these  two  sub- 
jects, but  who  are  unable  to  be  present  at 
the  meeting  on  Monday  evening,  should 
visit  the  Physics  department  sometime 
Monday. 


Three  Teams  Advance 
To  Debate  Semi-Finals 

Varsity,    Freshman    Team 
Busy    in    Coming    Week 

Rolx'rt  L.  \'iner  '43  and  Milton  Prigoff 
'44,  upholding  the  negative  of  the  subject 
"Kesolved;  That  compulsory  chapel 
should  be  abolished,"  upset  the  second- 
seeded  team  of  Everett  F.  Fink  and  Peter 
D.  Silverstone  '45  Thursda)'  afternoon, 
becoming  the  third  semi-finalists  in  the 
Adelphic  Union's  All-College  debate  tour- 
nament. The  third  negative  team  to  win 
out  of  four  debates  held  so  far,  \iner  and 
Prigoff  were  successful  in  defending  the 
institution  which  is  at  present  under 
attack. 

Dickinson  R.  Debevoise  and  Wallace 
B.  Thompson,  Jr.  '46  will  face  a  team  from 
Middlebury  at  3:30  Friday  afternoon, 
as  the  Freshman  Debate  Council  opens  its 
season.  They  will  negate  the  proposition 
that  "Congress  shall  conscript  all  labor 
{men  and  women)  foi-  war  work." 

Sales  Tax  Delmle 

The  Lions  Club  noon  luncheon  Thurs- 
day, Septenber  24  will  be  the  scene  of  a 
"model"  debate  between  four  Adelphic 
Union  members.  Johnathan  0.  Birnic 
'43  and  Paul  L.  Kohnstanun  '44,  tourney 
semi-finalists,  will  uphold  the  affirmative 
of  the  topic,  "Resolved:  That  Congress 
shall  impose  a  retail  sales  tax  for  the 
duration",  agaitist  Fink  and  Silverstone, 
at  the  Williams  Inn. 

The  keynote  lor  the  All-College  tourney 
thus  far  was  set  Tuesday  afternoon  when 
Harvey  C.  Jewett  '44  and  Leston  L. 
Havens  '45  dele.iteil  the  freshman  affirma- 
tive team  of  Roger  Ernst  and  Edward 
Rosen  in  a  first-round  contest.  The 
quarter-finals  got  under  way  Tuesday 
evening  when  llirnieanci  Kohnstamm  out- 
pointed aflirni.itivcs  Fri'deric  -S.  Nathan 
43  and  Robert  R.  I.uttroll  '44. 

Walsh.  Wozencrafl  Pressed 

The  top-seideel  team  of  Thomas  S. 
Walsh  and  Fr.uik  M.  Wozencraft  '44  were 
pressed  to  defeat  freshmen  Ralph  .\. 
Caves  and  Robert  K.  Lesser  Wednesday 
evening,  but  they  succeeded  as  the  only 
affirmative  team  to  win  thus  far. 

After  Jewett  and  Havens  meet  Richard 
C.  Acker  and  James  V.  Pricchard  '44 
Monday  afternooji,  the  (luarter-final  round 
will  be  completed,  and  the  chapel  topic 
will  be  abandoned  for  a  subject  of  national 
importance,  possibly  economic  ])lanning, 
it  was  announced  by  Assistant  f^rof. 
Robert  1".  ^'oung,  debating  coach  and 
Adelphic  Union  adviser. 

SOCCER 

(Continued  from  page  3) 
May  Change  Amherst  Date 

With  the  toss  by  graduation  of  Captain 
Joe  Cochran,  Binnie  Barnes  and  Norm 
Lowell,  the  defense  prospects  are  weak. 
Sophomore  Tom  Hoover  and  Bill  Morrisey 
are  fighting  it  out  for  goalie  while  the  full- 
back posts  ar<'  still  completely  uncertain. 
Steve  Kent,  in  his  first  year  of  soccer  com- 
petition. Hill  Klopnian,  Dave  Thurston 
and  Chink  Walker,  all  numeral  winners, 
are  the  leading  contenders. 

Walt  Stultz.  playing  manager,  is  trying 
to  move  the  Amherst  game  ahead  a  day 
from  Saturday,  November  7  to  Friday,  so 
the  squad  can  be  in  Williamstown  for  the 
Wesleyan  football  game. 

Over  thirty-five  freshmen  have  been 
working  out  with  Bob  Muir  since  Labor 
Day.  More  than  half  of  the  yearlings 
have  had  soccer  experience,  but  so  far 
Muir  has  not  picked  any  individual  stand- 
outs. Two  evenly  matched  teams  have 
been  formed  and  will  play  each  other  once 
each  week.  A  schedule  change  is  also  in 
the  offing  for  the  freshmen  as  attempts  are 
being  made  to  shift  the  R.  P.  I.  game  from 
October  3  to  a  later  date.

Outline  for  Flying 
Program  Revealed 

Training  of  Civilian  Pilots 
Proposed  Here,  Pending 
College        Authorization 

Tentative  plans  for  a  governuH'tit- 
spunsored  Civilian  Pilot  Training  program 
'CI'T)  at  Williams  were  announced  this 
week  by  Charles  C"..  Abbott  '4,?,  president 
1)1  the  Flying  Club.  Pending  the  appro- 
bation of  college  authorities,  the  project 
ftill  offer  a  limited  number  of  Williams 
students  and  approxim.itcly  thirty  govern- 
ment appointees  the  chance  to  receive 
olficial  flight  training  for  the  armed 
services. 

Prnliabic  Trainiiifi  Field 

In  the  event  that  college  sponsorship  is 
obtained,  a  training  field  will  be  estab- 
lished on  a  farm  in  South  Williamstown 
I"  longing  to  Donald  Cole,  which  was  used 
by  the  Flying  Club  before  Pearl  Harbor. 
•'\n  independe'it  flight  operator,  Newton 
Keid,  head  of  the  Reid  School  of  Aero- 
iiiutics,  whose  Poughkeepsic  air  base  was 
recently  taken  over  by  the  Army,  has 
olTered  to  remodel  the  field  to  government 
specifications  at  his  own  expense  and  then 
obtain  a  franchise  from  the  government  to 
operate  the  school. 

Confirmation  by  the  college  of  this 
program  implies  that  Williams  will  provide 
facilities  for  the  ground  courses,  supplying 
essentials  like  navigation  and  meteorology 
teachers,  pistol-shooting  instruction,  mili- 
tary discipline,  and  room  and  board, 
"nder  this  plan  the  government  will 
reimburse  the  college  for  housing  and 
teaching  expenses. 

"Help  War  Effort" 

"A  CPT  program  would  help  to  offset 
the  inevitable  enrollment  slump,"  said 
Abbott,  "as  well  as  provide  an  excellent 
chance  for  the  college  to  help  the  war 
I'Tort.  If  the  project  is  put  into  effect,  it 
will  be  a  long-run  set-up  that  will  benefit 
the  college  after  the  war,"  Abbott  ex-

New    Constitution 

Inter-fraternity  Council 
Executive  Committee, 
To  Take  Over  Nov.  9,  10 

hy  I'HiLiP  K.  Hastings  '44 

Last  nij;ht  at  a  college  meeting  in 
Chapin  Hall,  the  student  body  voted, 
,?0,S-IO,  in  favor  of  the  new  plan  for  student 
go\ernment  proponed  by  the  present 
Undergraduate  Council.  The  proposal 
embodies  the  formation  of  an  Inter- 
ftaternity  Council  which  will  fake  cjlhce 
November  9,  and  a  seven-man  Executive 
Ccjuiniittee  which  will  hold  its  lirst  meeting 
November  10. 

Major  Objection 

At  the  meeting  ("■.  I'aid  lleppes  '43 
voiced  the  only  major  objection  to  the 
constitution.  He  favorcil  a  change  in  the 
method  of  electing  the  cl^i^s  representatives 
to  the  Executive  Committee.  Instead  of 
class  presidents  automatically  becoming 
members  of  the  comniittee,  he  proposed 
that  special  class  ( lielinns  be  held.  Al- 
though Heppes  r<(eived  much  applause, 
the  overwhelming  majority  of  those  pre- 
sent favored  the  constitution  as  read. 

The  Inter-fraternit\  Council  will  be 
composed  of  thi'  si\teen  house  presidents 
and  will  "legislate  and  enforce  regulations 
on  all  extra-cunicular  activities  which 
directly  concern  the  social  groups." 

In  addition,  "the  council  shall  have  full 

power    to    interpii't,    to    enforce,    and    to

100  Student-Farmers 
Work  1200  Aggregate 
Hours,  Gain  40%  Raise 

After  two  months  of  pitching,  raking, 
picking,  and  digging,  the  Williams  Student- 
Farmer  Project  sat  back  and  looked  at 
itself  this  week  to  find  that  its  contribution 
towards  the  alleviation  of  the  local  labor 
shortage  had  totaled  over  1200  aggregate 
hours  of  work.  Over  a  hundred  different 
students  had  signed  to  labor  on  the  farms 
of  twenty-one  nearby  farmers,  and  their 
performance  had  been  good  enough  to 
raise  some  wage  offers  from  thirty  to  fifty 
cents  an  hour. 

The  dark  cloud  arising  from  the  coinci- 
dental arrival  of  early  fall  sports  and  late 
summer  crops  was  dispelled  this  week  by 
a  fifty  percent  increase  in  the  volunteer 
registration  resulting  from  a  daily  plea 
broadcast  by  Albert  V.  Osterhout  '06, 
coordinator  for  the  plan.  The  call  even 
lured  an  alumnus,  Theodore  A.  Fowler  '42, 
returned  for  a  vacation,  and  sent  him  into 
the  local  fields  for  a  week's  work. 

The  work  has  been  varied  anil  interest- 
ing: the  farmhands  have  built  and  filled 
silos;  dug  potatoes,  ditches,  and  founda- 
tions for  chickenhouses;  and  gathered  in 
hay,  grain,  apples,  tomatoes,  and  the 
winter's  firewood.  In  some  cases,  they 
have  also  handled  sheep  and  cattle.

Bicyclists  Humiliated 
By  Accident  at  Smith 

Proof  that  a  six-man  bicycle  is 
distinctly  a  practical  mode  of  trans- 
portation was  given  last  weekend 
when  five  Zeta  Psi  cyclists  and  i-ne 
inexperienee<l  Chi  Psi  drove  the  now 
famous  eeiitipede  contraption  to 
.Smith  e<  liege  from  (jreenfield.  a  dis- 
tance of  twenty  miles.  Hopes  for  a 
.riumphent  appearance  before  i^OO 
Smith  t;irls  were  shattered  when  the 
ilrive  ch.iiii  got  out  of  line  nee.r  the 
athletic  field  where  the  Freshman  and 
.Sophomore  classes  were  assembled. 

Ine.siierienced  cyclist  I. on  C.  llill

admire  the  view,  causing  the  chain 
to  slip  from  the  sprocket,  and  bringing

New  Math  Course  Will 
Be  Taught  Next  Term 

Preparation      for      Armed 
Forces    to     Be    Stressed 

In  compliance  with  the  suggestion  of 
military  authorities,  the  Mathematics 
department  has  announced  a  new  course 
which  will  offer  to  students  not  planning 
to  go  int(j  higher  math  the  practical 
funtlamentals  necessary  in  many  special- 
ized branches  of  the  armed  forces. 

The  new  course  has  been  designated 
Math  2b,  and  will  be  presentetl  as  an 
alti'rnaiive  to  Math  la  to  those  enrolled  in 
the  elementar\'  math  course.  It  will 
emphasize  ehnnents  of  solid  geometry  and 
spherical  trigonometry  that  will  qualify 
students  for  induction  into  thi-army,  nav\'. 
navy  reserves  and  in  either  of  the  air 
forces  as  bombardier,  navigator,  or  pilot. 

Receive  College  Credit 

Math  la,  the  original  second  semester 
of  the  l-la  secpience,  concerns  analytical 
geometry  and  elementary  calculus  and  is 
a  prerequisite  to  induction  into  the  air 
forces  as  a  photographer.  lioth  cinirses 
will  receive  college  credit  but  Math  2b 
will  not  be  eli;^ible  for  credit  in  a  math 
major. 

This  action  in  instituting  a  new  course 
was  taken  by  the  department  upon 
recommendation  by  a  ecmference  of  Mill- 
western  educational  leaders  anil  military 
authorities  at  Northwestern  l'niversit\' 
late  in  June.  Suggestions  to  the  mathe- 
matics departments  ol  all  colleges  and 
universities,  with  a  view  toward  prepar- 
atiim  for  induction  of  stu<lents  into  the 
armed  forces,  were  formulated  and  dis-

Berkshire's  Zoot  Soot  Burglar  Blames  Beer; 
No  Woman  in  Case  of  the  Pilfered  Plumage 


by  Paul  Detels  '44 

Climaxing  a  three-state,  twelve-hour 
search,  local  police  broke  the  peaceful 
repose  of  Howard  Bacon  as  he  la\  under 
a  banyan  tree  in  the  laconic  Woods  earlier 
this  week,  clad  in  borrowed  plumage, 
stolen  from  the  too-trusting  occupants  of 
Berkshire  Hall. 

The  bloodhounds  were  set  in  motion  b\' 
John  Sharpe  '44,  whose  racy  green  sport 
jacket  Bacon  had  singled  out  from  the 
rest  of  his  booty  as  the  best  to  wear. 
Sharpe  had  returned  from  a  Mimday 
morning  seminar  to  find  the  stranger 
preening  himself  in  his  best,  and  had  re- 
ceived the  explanation  that  Bacon  was  an 
old  drinking  buddy  of  Sharpe's  room- 
mate. He  professed  to  have  a  wife  and 
three  kids  in  Texas. 

Levy  in  the  Nude 

Sharpe  left  the  roimi  to  find  his  room- 
mate and  ctmfirm  the  story,  leaving 
Herbert  Levy  '44  to  prevent  any  retreat  on 
Bacon's  part.  Unfortunately,  Levy  was 
au  naturel,  having  just  concluded  a  brisk 
morning  shower,  and  when  the  stranger 
voiced  his  yearning  for  a  cup  of  coffee  and 


got  up  to  leave,  Levy  found  himself 
powerless  to  follow.  He  hurried  to  his 
room,  only  to  find  that  the  cupboard  was 
bare.  Bacon  had  effect  ualK  cut  off 
pursuit.  Darting  from  the  building,  he 
hopped  on  a  bicycle,  and  scorched  off  in 
Sharpe's  best,  clutching  to  his  bosom  the 
finery  of  half-a-dozen  Berkshire  occupants. 
ISO  Mile  Drag-net 

Called  into  the  case,  the  police  threw 
out  a  150-milc  drag-net.  Thex  traced  the 
trail  to  where  he  reclined  in  the  leafy 
shade,  sleeping  heavily.  Arraigned  liefore 
Judge  Israel  Ruby  later  in  the  week. 
Bacon  pleaded  intoxication,  and  was  held 
for  trial  next  Monday  morning  in  the 
Williamstown  court.  Evidence  has  been 
brought  forward  to  support  his  contention 
that  he  had  over-indulged  in  yeast - 
gathering  the  night  before,  and  investi- 
gation revealed  that  he  had  spent  the 
night  in  the  bed  of  John  Duflield  ex-'44, 
who  left  college  recently. 

To  date,  no  amount  of  interrogation  by 
official  and  un-official  ferrets  had  yet 
uncovered  a  woman  in  the  case.

Purple  Knights  to  Play 
At  First  Football  Dance 

Glee  Club  Will  Sponsor 
Affair     Saturday     Night 

Lasell  Gymnasiunt  will  be  the  scene  of 
the  first  social  attraction  of  the  fall  seasmi 
tomorrow  night  whim  the  Purple  Knights 
entertain  at  the  Miihllebury  Football 
Dance  from  9:00  until  midnight. 

The  dance  is  to  be  run  by  the  Glee  Club, 
which  has  contracted  the  services  of  the 
college  dance  band  for  the  night.  The 
affair  marks  the  seconil  appearance  of  the 
Purple  Knights  this  year,  the  orchestra 
having  played  in  conjunction  with  the 
Baden  Lewis  Grange  Band  for  the 
Allied  Relief  benelil  last  month. 

Robert  B.  Kittredge  '4,^,  manager  and 
lead  trumpeter,  disclosed  that  the  Middle- 
bury  affair  was  contracted  suddenly  last 
week,  and  that  consequently  the  Purple 
Knights  have  not  had  a  great  deal  of  time 
in  which  to  practice  new  arrangements. 
A  large  number  of  new  jiieces  were  added 
to  the  band  repertoire  before  the  Allied 
Relief  dance,  however,  and  the  Knights 
should  find  no  trouble  in  supplying  music 
in  quantity. 

Bertram  A.  Tunnell,  Jr.  '43,  in  charge  of 
arrangements  for  the  dance,  stated  that 
the  dance  will  be  held  in  the  smaller 
gymnasium,  and  that  colored  lights  will 
supply  the  decorations.  The  price  of 
admission,  which  is  set  at  S.55  a  person, 
is  regarded  as  low  enough  to  insure  a  large 
turnout.  A  disappointment  to  many  will 
be  the  absence  of  the  Octet,  which  is  saving 
its  wares  for  the  next  public  opportunity 
to  sing.

Thoughts  On  Next  Semester 

Witli  les.s  tliaii  u  week  left  before  mid-year  exams,  most  undergrad- 
uates will  be  hard  pre.s.sed  tf)  spare  enough  time  to  attend  the  football 
rally  touiglit,  the  Middh-bury  game  tomorrow,  and  to  entertani  the  young 
fighters  who  represent  our  allies  here  this  weekend.  Consequently 
several  projxjsals  designed  to  integrate  the  college  more  closely  with  the 
war  effort  must  wait  until  the  beginning  of  next  semester  before  they  can 
be  put  into  etlVet.  Four  of  these  ideas  we  will  foreshadow  now,  for  these 
proposals  merit  consideration  by  all  undergrailuales. 

First,  Williams  needs  a  .scrap  metal  campaign  at  the  earliest  possible 
moment.  .Vlreudy  a  group  of  freshmen  arc  evolving  a  plan  whereby  the 
college  can  coiilribule  a  maximum  of  its  unneeded  metal  to  the  nation. 
The  Gargoyle  i'eiice,  ornate  grill  work  on  the  geology  lab,  old  furnaces 
and  pipes  in  college  and  fraternity  buildings,  metal  fence  posts  to  preserve 
grass,  unused  boot  serajjcrs  on  local  ))orches,  and  broken-down  radiators 
arc  metal  objects  which  could  serve  more  usefully  in  the  form  of  bullets, 
rifles,  or  tanks.     The  sera])  metal  drive  will  begin  the  week  of  October  19. 

Second,  undergraduates  are  now  planning  to  conduct  a  campus- 
wide  war-bond  pledge  camiiaign  early  next  semester.  This  drive  will  be 
cimdiictcd  through  the  .social  units:  its  goal  is  to  secure  from  each  of  us  a 
pledge  to  buy  at  least  a  quarter's  worth  of  war  .stanii)s  regularly  each  week 
at  the  "Willianistown  Post  Office.  .V  few  houses  have  already  signed  all 
their  members  to  i)urchase  .stam])s,  and  after  the  second  .semester  starts, 
every  student  will  have  a  similar  opportunity. 

Third,  next  semester  we  must  face  the  problem  of  giving  Physical 
training  a  still  more  important  i)lac('  in  the  curriculum.  At  present 
.schednliiig  of  P.  T.  cla.sses  comes  after  .scheduling  of  all  other  courses; 
unilergradiiates  do  not  get  three  hours'  exercise  each  week,  since  at  least 
one  hour  of  that  time  is  .spent  in  changing  clothes  and  taking  showers. 
It  has  been  suggested  from  several  (|uarters  that  the  college  modify  its 
rules  to  require  that  the  three  lower  cla.sses  take  four  courses  a  year,  and 
seniors  take  three,  while  at  the  same  time  each  undergraduate  take  a  full 
hour's  exerci.se  five  days  per  week  (this  means  an  hour-and-a-half  P.  T. 
period  each  day).  While  we  like  the  propo.sed  increase  in  Physical  Train- 
ing, we  are  fearful  lest  such  a  plan  undermine  Williams'  .scholastic  stand- 
ing. Con.setiuently  we  offer  this  suggestion  to  faculty  and  students  mere- 
ly as  a  starting  point  in  their  efforts  to  develop  a  curriculum  which  jilaccs 
greater  emphasis  on  physical  fitness  than  ours  does  today. 

Fourth,  during  the  coming  .semester,  student-faculty  coo])eration 
must  continue  to  improve.  Undergraduates  can  contribute  to  this  im- 
provement by  making  certain  that  they  elect  competent  and  aggressive 
leaders  for  the  new  student  governmcnl  adopted  yesterday.  Further, 
they  can  fulfill  their  re.s])on.sibilities  in  enl'orcing  driving  regulations  (as 
they  are  now  doing  .so  effectively)  to  prove  undergraduates  deserve  a 
greater  share  in  evolving  and  administering  college  laws.  Lasitly,  various 
undergradnalc  groups  can  take  the  initiative  in  helping  Williams  con- 
tribute to  the  war  effort,  just  as  the  1'.  ('.  did  recently  in  voting  for  a  very 
inexpi-nsiiv  weekend  next  November  ()-!i.  The  faculty,  on  the  other  hanil, 
can  continiie  its  present  efforts  to  make  its  curricular  offerings  extremely 
pertinent  to  a  world  at  war.  'i'he  math  and  physics  departments,  for 
example,  have  again  adopted  new  eonr.ses  which  will  help  develo])  in- 
telligent fighting  men.  American  History  can  give  greater  emphasis  to 
•Japanese-American  relations;  the  Iviglish  De])artmcnt  can  draw  from 
English  translations  of  great  Russian  masterpieces  (for  example,  selec- 
tions from  War  and  Peace  might  po.ssibly  replace  Conrad's  Victory  in  1-2) 
—  these  are  examples  of  course  changes  that  will  not  be  an  acknowledge- 
ment that  liberal  arts  has  failed,  hut  which  will  as.sert  liberal  arts'  ability 
to  ilraw  from  its  vast  resources  the  material  most  pertinent  to  .\merica 
of  1942.  Of  course  the  faculty  itself  can  best  decide  what  specific  course 
modifications  should  be  made.  We  make  this  suggestion  not  as  a  war 
expedient,  but  because  we  feel  continual  change  and  progress  is  essential 
to  the  advancement  of  our  lilieial  arts  tradition. 

All  of  us  mu.st  realize  next  .semester  that  the  Williams  curriculuin  and 
way  of  life  should  not  be  completely  changed  because  we  are  at  war.  Hy 
our  .suggestions  on  next  semester's  activities  we  do  not  wi.sh  to  give  the 
erroneous  impression  that  Williams'  values  do  not  hold  good  in  wartime. 
The  war  has  cry.stallizcd  the  weaknesses  and  illuminated  the  strengths  of 
Williams  ('ollcge.  Our  efforts  today  to  make  sen.sible  improvements  in 
our  curriculum,  our  activities,  and  our  outlook  on  life  alone  can  insure  the 
survival  of  all  that  is  strong  at  Williams. 


ON  WILLIAMS

psac:'  '00,  college  treasurer,  while  hcsi.at- 
ing  to  state  the  number  of  studivits  hcol's- 
sary  to  keep  the  college  open,  affirmed  that 
there  is  no  danger  of  the  colle;.;e  closing 
after  February  or,  probably,  ai  any  later 
date.  It  is  significant  thr.t  tin-  iru^tees 
ha\e  already  voted  a  college  cilendar  ex- 
tending to  October  194.'!. 


HejMirts  that  geology  would  not  he  included 
on  lite  college  curriculum  after  l',hniarywere 
denied  today  by  Prof.  Elwyii  I..  Perry. 
"There  may  have  to  be  some  cmiailment  in 
geology  courses  due  to  the  diffiridty  of  ob- 
taining a  staff,"  he  said,  "but  geology  will 
definitely  be  included  in  the  college  cur- 
riculum next  year."  Curtailment  of  courses, 
moreover,  is  not  definite,  and  it  may  be 
found  that  no  such  step  is  necessary. 


Rumors  circulating  to  the  clTect  that  the 
facuUy  is  considering  plaeing  the  entire 
student  body  on  no-cuts  are  likewise  un- 
founded. On  Septendjer  10  1  )ean  1  lalfdan 
('■rriiersen  stated  that  no  such  action  has 
been  contemplated  by  the  f.iculty. 


.Some  undergraduates  have  affirmed  thjt 
at  least  130  men  plan  to  leav  college  after 
mid-year  examinations.  There  is  nothing 
to  indicate  that  such  is  the  case.  No  one 
is  certain  as  to  the  number  tearing  college 
in  October.  Certainly,  however,  the  college 
has  held  its  own  in  enrollment  to  date.

Letter  to  the  Editor 


To  the  Editors  of  The  Record: 

This  letter  probably  amounts  to  the 
conventional  "too  little,  too  late."  What 
it  has  to  say,  however,  may  still  carry 
some  weight.  In  last  night's  meeting  in 
Chapin  Hall  to  ratify  the  newly  drafted 
constitution,  proceedings  were  carried  on 
in  a  distinctly  Hitler-like  atmosphere 
which  precipitated  little  constructive  dis- 
cussion.    This  was  probably  unintentional 


Contrary  to  sonic  opinion,  students  will 
be  iK'rniitted  to  continue  with  Physics  2 
if  they  have  passed  Physics  1  with  a  D- 
minus  or  better.  According  to  Prof. 
Franzo  H.  Crawford,  however,  a  grade  of 
C  or  better  will  be  required  for  students 
planning  to  enter  acl\'anci'd  courses  in 
I'ebruary.  Exceptional  cases  with  a  D- 
plus  or  D  may  be  perniittecl  to  continue

Nevertheless  this  atmosphere  did  exist. 
As  a  result,  the  constitution  was  ratified 
as  originally  drafted  ami  as  such,  included 
one  serious  defect. 

The  Executive  Conuiiittee  of  seven  is 
supposed  to  be  a  hard-headed  council 
capable  of  handling  C(illei;e-wide  problems 
of  vital  interests  to  students,  and  is  sup- 
posed to  attract  the  respect  of  faculty  and 
trustees.  How  can  the  committee  do  this 
when  it  has  an  elective  system  which  will 
not  get  the  most  desirable  men  for  the 
job?  Four  of  the  men  on  the  Executive 
Committee  are  to  be  the  presidents  of  the 
four  classes.  In  most  cases  in  the  past, 
these  men  have  been  the  "nice  guys"  or 
the  athletes  who  may  be  perfectly  amiable 
chaps,  but  who  do  not  possess  the  neces- 
sary mental  capacity  or  sense  of  responsi- 
bility to  carry  im  such  a  supposedly  im- 
portant job.  There  is  a  better  way  of 
choosing  the  true  campus  leaders: 

Let  the  menit)ers  of  each  class  in  each 
house  elect  their  representative;  then  let 
each  class  as  a  whole  nominate  four  of 
these  sixteen;  after  which  each  class  as  a 
whole  will  elect  one  of  these  four.  This 
system  is  predicted  on  the  belief  that  each 
man  knows  the  truly  competent  leaders  in 
his  house  better  than  any  outsider,  and 
that  by  so  electing  these  men,  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  is  guaranteed  of  at  least 
a  plurality  of  real  leaders. 

If  enough  .sentiment  is  attracted  in 
support  of  this  plan,  something  can  be 
done  to  amend  in  this  fashion  what  is 
otherwise  a  thoroughly  sound  and  pro- 
gressive document.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  SEPTEMBER  25.  1942 


Russian  Novelist  Tells  Impressions  of  Life 
At  Williams;  Completes  Novel  on  War  Here 


by  CU8HING  StROUT  '45 

"Nothing  in  Europe  can  possibly 
iiifasurc  up  to  the  American  schooling 
>ystom,"  commented  Mrs.  Bozidar  Alek- 
>aiider,  Russian  refugee  and  novelist,  who 
lias  been  completing  her  latest  novel  while 
living  at  the  Williams  Inn  this  summer 
ttith  her  \'ugi)slav  husband  and  "adopted" 
I'reiich  refugee  child.  "In  America," 
she  said  with  enthusiasm,  "whole  towns 
:,pring  up  around  the  colleges  which  are 
ihe  real  nerve  centers  of  the  community 
lite,  as  at  Williams." 

Mrs.  Aleksander,  who  writes  under  her 
maiden  name  of  Irina  Kunina,  expressed 
lur  impression  of  American  education  as 
"perfectly  amazing."  Since  colleges  be- 
(iinie  community  centers,  the  novelist 
Ifels  that  the  emphasis  is  placed  on  the 
lising  generation,  imparting  a  very  pro- 
gressive tone  to  American  life.  She  said 
ihat  she  and  her  husband  had  taken  great 
interest  in  observing  Williams,  its  library, 
faculty,  and  classes,  as  an  example  of  this 
situation. 

First  Impression 

One  of  the  first  things  about  America 
that  impressed  her  was  the  "complete 
ali.sorption  of  Russian  immigrants  by  the 
Inited  States."  "In  Yugoslavia  where 
the  language  spoken  is  very  similar  to 
Russian  the  Russian  still  maintains  his 
independent  characteristics."  Mrs.  Alek- 
sander pointed  out,  "anywhere  in  h^urope 
a  Russian  is  always  Russian,  but  when  he 
ccjnies  to  America  —  presto!  — he's  an 
American  in  thought,  feeling,  and  iiiur- 
est." 

Both  the  novelist  and  her  husband  who 
arrived  in  America  simultaneously  with 
the  signing  of  the  German-Yugoslav  pari 
in  late  -March  of  1941,  expressed  interest 
in  the  question  of  political  feeling  among 
the    students.     In     Europe,     Mr.     Alek- 


sander   pointed    out,    the   students    take 
political     theories     very     seriously     and 
organize  to  defend  their  beliefs. 
Healthy  Situation 

His  wife  suggested  that  here  the  empha- 
sis is  placed  on  sports  rather  than  politics, 
and  they  both  agreed  it  was  a  "far  more 
healthy"  situation.  In  Europe,  Mr.  Alek- 
sander said,  universities  too  often  became 
leftist  centers  of  resistance. 

Questioned  about  her  attitude  toward 
the  current  internaticmal  crisis,  pretty, 
red-haired  Mrs.  Aleksander  said  that  she 
saw  the  problem  in  an  over-simplilied, 
almost  primitive  way.  "To  light  fascism 
and  defeat  Hitler  are  the  dominant  forces 
in  my  ideology,  and  I  cannot  at  present 
see  the  problem  in  anything  but  this 
primitive  light,"  she  claimed. 

Purpose  Expressed 

Her  experiences  in  fi^urope  throughout 
Hitler's  rise  to  power  could  not  make  her 
anything  but  single-minded  in  deter- 
mination to  win,  she  explained.  As  a 
writer  she  expressed  this  purpose  through 
the  hero  of  her  new  book.  One  Man's  Land. 

Inspired  by  the  human  heroism  and 
tragedy  at  the  fall  of  Uunquercpic,  ihe 
novelist  moved  to  an  isolated  hou^c  in 
Switzerland  where  she  could  not  hear  the 
cannons  roar,  and  began  to  virhvOne Man's 
Land.  The  story,  told  against  a  detailed 
historical  background,  portrays  the  drama 
of  the  small  nations  and  individuals 
caught  in  the  European  maelstrom. 

Beginning  with  September  3,  19,S9,  the 
novelist  shows  how  the  former  "no  man's 
land"  between  France  and  German),  in 
fact  all  Europe,  has  become  one  niaii'n 
land — the  property  of  Adolf  HilUi. 
Written  in  Russian  the  book  will  probabh 
lie  translated  and  published  in  New  York 
Ciiv.

plained.     "If    the    i)lan    is    accepted    by 
October  1,  it  can  be  in  operation  by  the 
first  of  the  year," 

A  similar  proposal  was  suggested  in 
1940,  but  it  was  turned  down  because  at 
that  time  the  college  was  expected  to 
underwrite  the  cost  of  equipment  and 
field-construction.  The  present  plan  does 
not  entail  any  of  thes.'  objections,  Abbott 
pointed  out,  since  Reid  has  offered  to 
provide  six  planes  and  six  instructors,  as 
well  as  assuming  responsibilities  for  the 
field,  which  is  now  being  surveyed. 

Although  no  definite  statement  has  been 
made,  Abbott  was  of  the  opinion  that  the 
i^chool  W'Ould  be  a  .Navy  project  catering 
to  members  or  potential  members  of  the 
\'-5  program.

Dr.  Albert  B.  Fruiiklin,  3rd.  assistant 
professor  of  Romanic  languages,  plans  to 
leave  college  October  1  for  the  University 
of  Maryland,  where  he  has  been  called  as 
associate  professor  in  the  Modern  Lang- 
uages department.  Dr.  Franklin  will 
teach  a  survey  course  in  Spanish  American 
literature  and  one  on  Latin  American 
problems.

participate  in  six  sp:)rts.  Boxing,  wrestl- 
ing, swimming,  basketball,  apparatus 
work,  and  sipiash  will  be  required  for  all 
members  of  V.  T.  clnssos. 


A  rumor  thai  the  college  definilely  plans 
on  granting  'war  diplomas'  is  completely 
unfounded.  According  to  the  last  official 
statement,  Williams  will  not  grant  such 
diplomas  to  students  leaving  college  to 
enter  various  branches  of  Ihe  armed  service. 
President  James  P.  Baxter,  III,  stated  on 
April  12,  1941,  that  while  he  admired  the 
patriotism  and  couraf'-  of  Williams  under- 
graduates entering  th-  Army  or  Navy,  he 
did  not  know  of  a  si:igte  university  where 
"such  commendable  anion"  could  lake  the 
place  of  a  full  year  of  academic  work. 
In  1918  Williams  awarded  'war  diplomas' 
to  many  seniors  called  in  May  of  that  year, 
but  none  were  granted  to  students  whose 
standing  was  dubious  or  to  those  called  to 
service  al  the  end  of  their  junior  year. 


There  is  no  factual  basis  for  a  common 
belief  that  Pri'.sidnit  James  P.  Baxter,  III, 
will  not  return  in  October.  As  far  as  any 
authorit;'.ti\e  source  knows,  President 
Baxter  will  return  to  assume  his  duties  on 
a  five-da\-wei'kl>'  basis  the  second  week  of 
next  month.

liave  no  plans  for  entering  some  branch  of

Noble  Calls  For  Rebirth  of  Discipline,  Faith 
For  Improvement  of  Undergraduate  Morale 


"I  have  to  say  that  while  the  morale  has 
been  good,  it  has  not  been  good  enough — 
not  good  enough  to  win  the  war",  stated 
the  Rev.  A.  Grant  Noble,  college  chaplain, 
in  an  informal  radio  talk  over  station 
VVMS  last  Thursday  night. 

Dr.  Noble,  first  in  a  series  of  speakers  to 
address  the  college  connnunity  on  matters 


them  with  his  heart  as  well  as  his  mind, 
when  he  lives  by  them  and  dies  for  them." 
The  lighting  faith  that  the  speaker 
called  for  entails,  he  stated,  "the  belief  that 
people  are  made  in  the  inuige  of  God,  that 
we  are  all  e<|ual  before  Him  and  among 
ourselves;  that  man  has  an  immortal  soul; 
that   it  is  this  (|uality   wdiich   makes  him 


of  impoi  tance  to  Williams  at  War,  praised  [  inlinitely  more  valuable  than  anything  else 


the  sacrifices  that  undergraduates  and 
faculty  have  made  in  the  war  effort,  anil 
called  for  a  rebirth  of  inspiration,  disci- 
pline, and  fighting  faith  for  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  winning  spirit. 

"Morale  Good  Under  Conditions" 

Answering  critics  of  college  morale 
Dr.  Noble  pointed  out  that  "the  morale 
has  been  good — ver>-  good  under  the 
conditions".  In  citing  the  cases  of 
institutions  that  have  not  adopted  the 
accelerated  summer  schedule,  he  asserted 
that  almost  without  exception  representa- 
tives ol  those  colleges  have  expressed  the 
wish  that  they  had  followed  the  current 
trend  and  had  ordained  year-round 
scholastic  sessions. 

Individual  Discipline  Needed 

"What  we  are  deficient  in  is  a  real  si'use 
of  what  discipline  means.  Some  weekends 
during  this  summer  have  all  too  clearly 
shown  this.  We  need — all  of  us— a  great 
deal  more  steel  in  us."  Dr.  .Noble  called 
for  the  development  of  the  democratic 
discipline  from  within  the  individual,  a 
kind  of  steel  that  must  lie  developed  now 
for  use  in  the  life  that  uinlergraduates 
will  soon  enter.

Richmond  States  Five 
Bases  for    Philosophy 

Philosophical    Union  Talk 
Emphasizes      Individual 

Seeking  "bases  on  which  to  build  a 
philosophy  that  says  'yes'  to  life,"  Dr. 
Donald  E.  Richmond,  Frederick  Latimer 
Wells  Professor  of  Mathematics,  spoke 
to  an  overflow  audience  in  Griffin  library 
last  night  on  "Afiirniations:  An  Amateur 
Philosophy,"  as  a  presentation  of  the 
Philosophical  I'nion.  Professor  Rich- 
mond's lecture  expressed  a  belief  that 
"each  individual  has  a  unique  contribution 
to  make  by  being  himself." 

Prof.  Richmond  affirmed  five  positive 
bases  of  judgment  which  he  held  to  be  the 
main  tenets  of  his  philosophy.  "Man 
thinks"  and  "people  differ  in  what  they 
think"  were  his  initial  affirmations,  that 
were  obxinus,  but  irrefutable,  ho  believed. 
The  two  statements  he  evolved  from  these 
were  that  "every  man  must  trust  his  own 
insight"  and  that  "man  makes  himself  in 
the  light  of  his  insights  and  the  goals 
which  he  sets  for  himself." 

Convinced  that  man  had  freedom  of  will, 
Prof.  Richmond  claimed  that  "we  must  at 
least  allow  the  freedom  of  choice  that  en- 
ables us  to  accept  or  reject  determinism." 
Out  of  this  concept  he  developed  his 
climactic  affirmation  that  "man  feels 
responsible  to  himself  for  making  his  life 
and  gains  his  deepest  satisfaction  from  the 
acceptance  of  this  responsibility." 

Protesting  against  the  modern  tendency 
to  regard  evil  as  a  mere  convention.  Prof. 
Richmond  pointed  out  that  the  "times  are 
favorable  for  the  rediscovery  of  the  exist- 
ence of  evil  in  case  we've  forgotten  it." 
Man's  natural  pursuit  is  of  the  civilized, 
good  life,  he  claimed,  and  "we  must  find 
a  convincing  critiipte  of  satisf,action  for  it." 


in  this  world  or  universe. 

"He  recalled  that  it  was  this  belief  that 
gave  birth  to  democracy,  and  went  on  to 
stress  the  point  that  it  is  only  faith  of  this 
calibre  that  will  preserve  it.  "We  need 
men  in  Williams  College,  in  other  colleges 
and  universities,  and  in  this  nation  to 
proclaim  this  faith.  We  need  men  to 
believe  in  it  and  to  live  by  it." 

College    to    Cooperate 
In  Local  Salvage  Drive 

In  a  mo\e  to  cooperate  with  the  Wil- 
liamstown sahage  drive.  Prof.  Winthrop 
11.  Root,  directing  defense  measures  for 
the  college,  this  week  summoned  the 
undergraduate  air  raid  po.st  wardens  to  a 
meeting  at  the  Williamstown  High  School 
at  7:45  tonight.  Mr.  H;dward  French,  a 
salvage  official  for  North  Berkshire,  will 
discuss  the  part  that  wardens  can  play 
in  helping  to  put  the  drive  over.

extends  to  all  corners  of  the  campus  and 
which  will  include  a  canvass  of  fraternity

Walton,  Former  Latin  and  Greek  Instructor, 
Acts  as  Volunteer  in  Fight  Against  Typhus 


/)>■  Oliver  J.  Kellek  '45 

Serving  as  a  l)ri'«liiiK  urouiuls  for  lici-  is 
a  far  cr>  fmm  liacliiTin  Creek  and  Latin 
im  the  Williams  faiullv.  Tlial,  however, 
is  the  fashion  in  which  Francis  K.  Walton, 
I'h.  I).,  and  an  inslructor  in  the  classics 
last  year  at  ccillej;e,  is  now  si-rvinj;  his 
counlry  in  ihe  liuht  against  typhus. 

I'nable  to  actively  lit;ht  for  the  I'nited 
Slates,  lieint;  the  product  of  many  genera- 
tions of  Quakers,  Walton  left  Williams 
last  year  to  enter  a  conscientious  objectors' 
camp  at  West  Coniplon,  New  Hampshire. 
I'nlil  recently,  he  was  (jccupied  there  with 
ciMislruclion  work  and  road  repairs. 
Experimental  Powders 

.■\^  tile  threat  of  t\  phus  steadiU'  spread 
o\er  luirope,  American  scientists  became 
(lisperale  to  lind  some  remedy  for  the 
dread  disease.  .As  the  carriers  of  the 
disease  are  lice,  they  have  been  experi- 
nientinj;  with  various  powders,  which  ihey 
liopi'  will  destroN  the  vermin.  The  only- 
way  to  test  the  effectiveness  of  these 
powders  is  to  spray  them  upon  human 
beings,  and  then  infest  these  human 
liuinea  pigs  with  lice. 

One  of  thirty-live  coi\s(ientious  objec- 
tors at  West  Compton  to  voUmleer  lor 
this  e.'ilreniely  unpleasant  work  was 
Walton.  The  experiment,  known  as  the 
"L(juse  I'roject"  by  these  volunteers,  is 
under  the  direction  of  the  Kockefeller 
Institute.  .As  Walton,  himself,  expressed 
it  in  a  letur  lo  Dean  Halfdan  Gregersen, 
"We're  each  to  .it'ford  'hospitality'  to  50  ot

Conditions  of  Filth 

The  \'olunleers  will  live  under  conililions 
of  hith  closely  approximating  those  of 
actual  battle-fields,  or  areas  devastated  by 
war.  Kor  three  weeks  they  will  live  in 
lice-infested  clothing,  forbidden  to  wash  or 
change  any  of  their  vermin-ridden  gar- 
ments. During  this  period,  they  will  be 
sprayed  with  such  powders  as  pyrethrum, 
which  is  made  from  pollen.  Walton 
added,  "Of  course  we'll  be  completely 
isolated  and  won't  return  till  we've  been 
thoroughly  decontaminated." 

Walton,  according  to  Mrs.  James 
Phinney  Baxter,  "is  a  hero,  and  an  honor 
to  Williams  college.  Those  of  us  who 
knew  him  rememlur  liim  as  a  painfully- 
clean  person.  I  lie  fact  that  he  has 
volunteered  for  surli  distasteful  work  is  an 
act  of  sheer  heroism  on  his  part."

Irregular  Attendance 
Hampers  Soccer  Drills 

Jospe,    Rehbein    Top   Fast 
Developing    1946    Squad 

Plagued  b\'  lax  attendance  at  daily 
practice's.  Coach  Kd  Bullock  made  little 
progress  with  his  soccer  scpiad  last  week. 
With  half  the  candidates  reporting  one 
day  and  half  the  ne.xt,  all  attempts  to  find 
clicking  olTensive  and  defensi\e  combin- 
ations failed. 

Bullock  \iewed  the  irregular  turnouts 
with  concern.  Exams  begin  ne.\t  week 
and  will  probably  result  in  a  continuation 
of  this  lack  of  cooperation.  With  two 
games  sciu-duled  iluring  vacation,  pros- 
pects for  fielding  a  well-coordinateil,  e\- 
jierienced  team  have  taken  a  tumble. 

With  veterans  Carter  Hall  and  Ceorge 
Simson  at  the  outside  posts,  sophomores 
have  continued  to  see  play  in  the  line. 
Hall  and  (ius  Gutterson,  both  halfbacks, 
are  being  tried  on  the  outsitle  of  the  line 
in  the  oiil\  two  shifts  to  date. 

Under  Hob  Muir,  the  freshman  sciuad 
has  been  working  daily  and  is  shaping  up 
well.  .Muir  has  two  teams  for  iiilrasi]iiad 
games  and  an  eleven  composed  of  men  from 
both  these  teams  has  scrimmaged  the 
varsity   lacli    Tuesday  and    Thursday. 

Al  Kehbein,  a  South  American,  and 
Koger  Jospe,  who  came  to  tlii>  country 
from  Brl;.;iimi,  have  been  stanilouls  on  the 
yearliii'^  line.  Em  Brown  and  l.oti  Lincoln 
are  otiii  i  top  line  men,  while  the  defensive 
side  ha>  been  ilominated  by  goalie  John 
Mitchell  and  Don  Stone,  a  fullli.ick. 

The  freshman  opener  against  K.  P.  I. 
has  berii  moved  back  to  Saturda> ,  Dclober

offensive  ball  carriers  and  a  blocking  half 
is  needed  to  give  them  interference. 

*'HackH    t*»    Biini^' 

The /J(n7o/;  Herald  saiil  of  the  Williams 
backfield,  "Williams  has  S|ieed  and  backs

Cdtich  Sam  Ciuarnaccia's  Panthers.  He 
has  ten  backs  returning  anil  will  start  a 
combination  of  three  Irtteriiien  and  an 
oiiLStanding  sophomore  ipiarterback. 

Hob  Sheehan  at  fallback  will  help 
Harold  Hollistcr  and  John  Urban  at  right 
.mil  left  halfback.  Sophomoro-  Edward 
Cooke,  who  will  call  tlv  sisnals,  was  a 
starter  on  the  1945  yearling  si|uad.  Right 
halfb.ick  Hollister  did  not  play  against 
Williams  last  year  beciiise  of  an  injury, 
1  but  he  promises  to  be  .in  outstanding 
broken-field  man.

positions  respectively. 

TaekU'  l*osi 

Question  mark  of  the  line  is  the  tackle 
post.  Art  Vorys  plays  a  dependable 
offensive  game,  but  will  probably  be  re- 
|)laccd  by  Coby  Wilson  if  defensive  work 
is  needed  in  that  position.  hwAy  Knox 
can  also  expect  to  see  ser\ii'e  at  left  end.

Middlebury's  line  is  an  unknown  quant- 
ity. Many  of  last  year's  linemen  have 
been  shifted  to  different  positions,  and  Ic 
remains  to  be  seen  how  they  will  play  in 
their  new  berths.  Al  Boisscxain,  200 
pounds  of  right  tackle,  threatens  to  stall 
off-tackle  plays.  Freshman  Charlie  Puksta 
[days  center  and  has  shewn  impressive 
defensive  play  in  backing  up  the  line.

5  Points  from  Top  Two 
Foursomes  Clinch  Win; 
Middlebury    Plays    Here 

The  Williams  golf  team  toppled  I  )art- 
niouth,  5i-3i,  last  Saturday  as  the  pro- 
posed informal  round-robin  of  college  golf 
teams  in  Williamstown  liiially  resolved 
itself  into  a  dual  match  between  the 
Hanover,  New  Hampshire,  si|uail  and  the 
ICphmen. 

Close  on  the  heids  of  this  victorN'  came 
the  announcement  that  the  golfers  will 
meet  Miikllebury  College  here  next 
Monday.  The  match  will  start  at  3:00 
p.  m. 

Barnes,  Heuer  Win 
Williams  gained  its  advantage  over 
Dartmouth  in  the  lirst  two  foursomes,  a 
rally  by  the  losers  carr>iiig  the  iinal  match. 
Captain  Fred  Barnes  ami  Charlie  Heuer,  : 
college  champion,  hit  a  mid-match  hot 
streak  to  sweep  all  three  points  in  the  top 
foursome,  while  Miiiiro  Steel  and  Pete 
Davis  accounted  for  two  more  in  the  next 
group. 

Barnes  and  Heuer  scoretl  the  widest 
victory  margins  of  the  day  as  all  but  one  of 
their  points  was  decided  by  the  rifteentli 
hole.  In  the  best  ball  play,  the  pair 
toppetl  Buzz  Cutting,  the  Dartmoutb 
captain,  and  Stan  Rice,  recent  runnerup 
in  the  New  Hampshire  amateur,  4  and  3. 
Trailing  b\'  two  holes  at  the  sixth,  they 
chalked  up  h\e  biiils  in  eight  holes  to,  go 
two  M\i.  P;irs  on  14  and  l.S  closed  the 
match. 

Bestball  69 

Heuer  starti  il  tlie  rally  with  a  three-foot 
bird  on  6  and,  alter  three-puttinji  the  next 
hole,  fired  birdies  on  8,  <),  and  11.  He 
also  won  ten  with  a  ])ar  to  make  il  four  in 
a  row.  Both  golfers  bogieil  12,  hut  then 
Barnes  turned  in  the  tifth  bird  with  a  side- 
hill  IS-foot  putt  on  13.  Barnes  added  a 
bird  on  the  home  hole  to  give  a  Iinal  best- 
ball  of  69. 

Heuer  needed  his  four  birds  against 
Cutting  in  the  hrst  individual  match. 
Cutting  went  out  in  35,  one  under  par, 
but,  starting  with  the  short  eighth,  lost 
live  holes  in  a  row  to  bow  5  and  3.  Kice 
birdii'd  the  lirst  to  take  an  early  edge  on 
Barnes,  but  the  Williams  captain  squared 
the  match  at  the  third  and  four  holes  later 
went  ahead  to  stay,  winning  3  and  2. 
Steel  Wins 

.Steel  and  Davis  shot  a  73  hestball, 
downing  Fred  Coldwell  and  John  Truxel 
3  and  2.  .Steel  won  his  match  from 
Truxel,  coming  back  in  38,  while  Davis 
bowed  to  Coldwell  3  and  2. 

The  last  foursome  was  a  see-saw  match 
all  the  wa\-  with  freshman  Al  Waycott 
scoring  the  hnal  Williams  half-point.  He 
tietl  Shorty  Robinson  on  the  Iinal  hole. 
Dartmouth's  John  Handwerg  came  from 
behind  to  betit  Bob  McKee  2  and  I  in  the 
sixth  singles  match.  Dartmouth  won  the 
bestball  2-iip.

In  honor  of  the  victorious  Purple  eleven,  a  rally  will  be  held  at  X.15  tomorrow 
morning  in  front  of  Chapin  Hall,  band-master  Donald  L.  Fuchs  '44  declared  to- 
night. "The  band  will  be  at  Chapin,  where  we're  going  to  form  a  victory  march 
down  to  the  railroad  station  to  welcome  the  team  home,"  Fuchs  said.  "Let's

*Game  a  Triumph  in  WMS  History'  as  College  Hears  Win; 
.,#  Students,  IVlerchants  Finance  Broadcast  from  Tigertown 


"Today's  broadcast  was  a  triumph  in 
the  history  of  WMS,"  Robert  W.  Hin- 
man,  president  of  the  college  radio  sta- 
tion, declared  after  the  game.  "I  don't 
think  that  we've  ever  had  better  luck 
with  a  broadcast  of  a  game  away  from 
home,  although  I'll  admit  that  the  whole 
project  was  a  rather  risky  venture." 

The  idea  of  broadcasting  the  Princeton 
game  came  from  both  Nion  R.  Tucker,  Jr. 
'44  and  Harold  T.  Johnson  '43,  Hinman 
continued.  After  talking  over  the  possi- 
bilities of  the  success  of  such  a  broad- 
cast with  Tucker,  Johnson,  the  business 
manager  of  WMS,  approached  Einman 
with  their  suggestion  on  Tuesday  noon. 
Owing  to  the  expense  of  the. broadcast, 
Hinman  admitted  that  he  had  his  doubts 
as  to  whether  they  could  pay  the  neces- 
sary expenses. 

IiitCKrily  of  Sludciils 

"We  finally  decided  to  rely  on  the  in- 
tegrity of  the  Williams  student,"  Hin- 
man continued.     "On  Tues.lay  night  we

campus  to  ascertain  how  many  fellow. s 
would  be  willing  to  pledge  fifty  cents  or 
le.ss  to  hear  the  game  broadcast.  The  re- 
sults of  this  survey  were  so  successful 
that,  added  to  the  fact  that  seven  mer- 
chants on  Spring  Street  said  they  would 
sponsor  the  broadcast,  we  felt  we  could 
take  the  risk  of  spending  over  $125  for 
bringing  the  game  to  Williamstown."  If 
all  pledges  are  collected,  the  money  gain- 
ed from  both  the  students  and  the  ad- 
vertisers should  cover  the  costs. 

Deciding  definitely  to  broadcast  the 
game  on  Thursday  night,  WMS's  tech- 
nical crew,  under  the  direction  of  John 
0.  Copley  '44,  began  to  work  feverishly 
to  repair  wires  to  the  Freshman  quad  and 
to  several  of  the  fraternities,  where  the 
reception  had  recently  been  reported  as 
poor.  Working  not  only  during  the  day- 
time, but  also  throughout  Thursday  and 
Friday  nights,  the  technical  men  finally 
managed  to  complete  their  job  about  7.30 
on  Saturday  morning. 

Fla((scd  Truck  lo  Priiicelon 

Copley,  in  charge  of  the  broadcasting 
apparatfls  at  Princeton,'  ha'd  missed  the 
seven  o'clock  bus  from  Williamstown, 
owing-  to  his  work,  in  repairing  the  net- 
work's line..  IXltKough  it  was  the  last  bus 
that  could  get  him  down  to  Palmer  Sta- 
dium in  time  for  the  match,  he  succeeded 
in  flagging  a  truck,  hebded  in  that  general 
direction.  Arriving  at  Princeton  just  be- 
fore the  game  started,  he  was  three 
minutes  late  in  getting  the  broadcast 
underway. 

In  spite"  of  this  tnindr^dehiy,  Hinrnan 
declared  that  he  felt  the  broadcast  had 
b?en  a  great  soccesn.  "AH -the -credit 
must  go  to  Hal.JohTiapn,".he  went  on, 
"because,  fn  addition  to  getting  the  idea 
for  the  hroadcast,  he  did  a  fine  job  of 
announcing.  I  also  want  to  thank  the 
advertisers  of  the  broadcast,  and  the  un- 
dergraduates, who  pledged  their  support. 
We  got  such  an  enthusiastic  response  to 
our  survey   of   Tuesday  night,   that   I 


doubt  if  we  will  have  to  ask  the  pledgers 
to  pay  more  than  forty  cents  apiece." 

Play-By-I*Luy  Account 

Practically  all  the  Williams  student 
body,  who  were  not  engaged  in  frantic 
preparation  for  final  examinations,  spent 
Saturday  afternoon  beside  their  radios. 
Wherever  one  went  over  the  campus,  he 
could  hear  Johnson's  voice  giving  a  play- 
by-play  account  of  the  game.  Hinman 
,confes.sed  that  the  reception  of  the  game 
had  been  unusually  fine  throughout  the 
entire  college. 

Although  it  had  first  been  planned  to 
have  the  game  relayed  only  to  the  audi- 
torium in  Jesup  Hall,  it  was  later  decided 
to  rely  on  the  pledges  of  the  undergrad- 
uates, and  have  the  contest  broadcast  to 
all  dormitories  and  houses.  Hinman  de- 
clared that  he  hoped  all  students  who  had 
listened  to  the  game  would  be  willing  to 
help  WMS  in  ii.leviating  the  expenses  of 
the  broadcast. 


hy  Fred  IJarnt's  '  V.i 

Saturday,  October  3  -  The  ghosts  of  nine  former  Williams  losses  to 
Princeton  suddenly  came  to  life  with  stunning  vengeance  this  after- 
noon when  a  traditionally  underdog  Williams  eleven  turned  back  all 
threats  from  heavily-favored  Princeton  to  triumph,  19-7. 

It  was  not  a  mightier  Princeton  eleven  that  went  down  to  defeat 
in  the  brilliant  afternoon  sun.shine,  foi'  the  Purple  equalled  the 
Tigers  in  the  line  and  outweighed  them  slightly  in  the  backfield. 
Rather  it  was  a  fighting  heart  that  finally  quelled  the  New  Jersey 
eleven,  for  the  Purple  came  from  behind  to  score  this  triumph  ~  - 
probably  the  most  memorable  in  recent  hi.story. 

Bill  Schmidt,  Gunner  Hayes  and  Pat  Higgins  were  the  men  who 
crossed  the  Tiger  goal  line  for  Williams,  and  it  was  Schmidt  who 
set  the  team  off  to  its  victory  march  with  a  brilliant  thirty-eight  yard 
jaunt  in  the  second  period  after  he  had  seemingly  been  tackled  at 
his  own  line  of  scrimmage. 

A  major  factor  in  the  afternoon's  victory  was  the  kicking  of  Tom 
Powers,  who  continually  set  Princeton  back  deep  in  its  own  territory. 
In  the  second  period  he  pulled  his  team  out  of  a  deep  hole  with  a 
towering  60-yard  boot  from  behind  his  own  goal  line,  after  Princeton 
had  been  stopped  on  the  2. 

When  both  teams  left  the  field  for  the 
half,  Princeton  held  a  7-6  lead  and  it 
looked  as  though  the  precedent  set  in 
former  years  was  to  hold  true  —  that  a 
good  little  college  team  cannot  defeat  a 
good  big  college  team. 

llaycM  Takes  Charlie 

But  four  minutes  after  the  opening  of 
the  second  half  Hayes  put  tradition  out 
of  the  limelight,  when  he  took  Bob 
Perina's  punt  squarely  on  the  fifty  yard 
line  and  set  sail  on  a  touchdown  jaunt 
that  gave  Williams  a  lead  that  it  never 
relinquished. 

These  points  would  have  been  sufficient 
as  the  matter  turned  out,  but  just  to 
make  the  victory  a  touch  more  sweet  the 
same  irrepressible  Hayes  wheeled  in  his 
tracks  five  minutes  later  and  tossed  a 
pass  to  freshman  star  Pat  Higgins  who 
gathered  the  ball  in  on  the  Tiger  30  and 
raced  across  the  goal  line  with  five  yards 
of  golden  sunshine  between  him  and  Bob 
Perina,  nearest  potential  tackier. 

Marshall  Scores  for  Tincra 

That  was  how  the  points  were  scored  on 
this  memorable  afternoon,  but  the  way 
that  Princeton  was  held  on  the  ground  by 
a  fighting  Williams  line  was  even  more 
of  a  tribute  to  the  men  who  finally  tri- 
umphed in  this  old  rivalry.    Three  times 


during  the  first  half  the  Tigers  .smashed 
downfield.  Once  .sophomore  Dave  Mar- 
•shall  hit  pay  dirt,  but  twice  the  red-hot 
Williams  line  stalled  the  offen.se  —  once 
at  the  '2-yard  line  and  once  at  the  three, 

r.upl.  Courier  Slurs 

Captain  Bill  Courter  played  himself  a 
whale  of  a  game  in  backing  up  the  line, 
and  along  with  credit  for  hts  sterling  play 
goes  praise  for  the  remainder  of  a  line 
that  held  the  Tiger  running  attack  to 
sixty-three  yards  overland,  while  shoving 
the  Princeton  forwards  back  enough  to 
let  the  Williams  backs  through  for  128 
yards. 

WillianiH  Line  Powerful 

But  more  should  be  said  about  the 
Williams  line  for  the  way  that  it  kept 
the  Princeton  pass  attack  from  bein? 
more  effective  than  it  was.  Traditionally 
a  passing  team  —  from  erstwhile  star 
Dave  Allerdice  to  current  Bob  Perina  — 
the  Orange  and  Black  to.ssed  thirty-one 
passes  during  the  course  of  the  afternoon, 
but  so  potent  was  the  Purple  line's  charge 
that  only  twelve  times  did  the  sensational 
senior  back  hit  the  target.  In  all  Prince- 
ton lost  something  over  fifty  yards  when 
Perina  was  nailed  behind  the  line  of 
scrimmage  while  attempting  to  pass.

On  The 
Sidelines 


With  considerable  statistical  flourish  of 
his  own,  Professor  Newhall  put  the  finish- 
ing touches  on  his  part  in  the  controversy, 
by  revealing  that,  in  the  Williams  grad- 
uating class  of  1942,  only  seven  men  out 
of  140  failed  to  offer  American  history

Lewis  Carrol. 

It  took  a  while  for  our  old  Cow  to  get 
rolling.  Princeton's  first  period  touch- 
down was  just  what  the  Bengal  town  and 
all  the  experts  predicted.  Those  two  goal- 
line  stands  must  have  exasperated  the 
Princeton  {[uarterback,  but  he  didn't  take 
the  hint,  or  he  would  have  quit  right  then.

According  to  Professor  Newhall's  letter 
there  are  seven  such  courses  now  being 
offered  at  Williams,  and  on  the  average 
"ten  per  cent  of  all  the  courses  taken  by 
students  in  this  class  (1942)  dealt  with 
American  topics.  This  is  the  equivalent 
of  more  than  two  courses  per  student." 
"If  these  figures  apply  in  any  comparable 
.  .,  the  indict- 
ment which  the  Timcn  has  drawn  .  .  . 
becomes  ridiculous,"  said  Professor  New- 
hall.

Wily  Charlie  Caldwell  must  have  spent 
some  time  on  pass  defense  since  the 
Middlebury  game.  The  supposedly 
formidable  pass  combination  of  Perina 
and  Schmon  was  completely  squelched. 
Charging  Williams  linemen  forced  the 
New  Jersey  backs  to  lose  ground  con- 
stantly as  they  tried  to  find  open  re- 
ceivers for  their  thirty-one  attempted 
aerials. 

Amherst  and  Wesleyan  coaches  will 
quail  when  they  read  about  Gunner 
Hayes'  arc  to  Pat  Higgins  for  seventy 
yards  and  a  touchdown.  They've  always 
got  to  worry  about  Hayes'  riding  arm. 
He's  quite  a  thorn  in  their  sides;  if  he 
can't  find  an  open  man  he'll  more  than 
likely  run  the  ball  for  a  first  down.  Watch 
out  you  .feffs. 

Wesleyan  must  be  pretty  low  anyway. 
Bowdoin  beat  them  today,  18-0.  Is 
Bowdoin  good  or  Wesleyan  bad?  We're 
inclined  to  think  that  Bowdoin  must 
have  an  all-right  team.  Perhaps  the 
toughest  game  left  on  the  Eph  schedule, 
is  going  to  be  played  October  10  in  Bruns- 
wick. 

Amherst  took  the  field  this  week  for  the 
first  time  and  showed  scoring  ability 
against  Springfield  by  chalking  up  a 
27-19  win.  Whether  Amherst  beat 
Springfield  on  the  .strength  of  its  own 
power  is  a  matter  of  doubt.

U.  S.  History  Stand 

Calls  Times'  Required 
Plan  'Ridiculous'; 
Cites  Williams' Case 

Clarifying  his  own  position  in  a  con- 
troversy begun  last  June  in  the  columns 
of  the  New  York  Times  over  an  alleged 
neglect  of  American  history,  traditions, 
and  ideals  in  the  college  curriculum.  Act- 
ing President  Richard  A.  Newhall  de- 
clared last  week  that  the  "failure  of  Wil- 
liams College  to  require  a  course  in  Amer- 
ican history  ...  is  not  .  .  .  subject  to 
the  strictures  which  the  Times  discussion 
of  this  matter  implies." 

Not  Printed  in  'Times' 

In  a  lengthy  letter  to  the  editor,  which 
was  not  printed  in  the  Times,  but  which 
appeared  in  the  Springfield  Republican, 
Professor  Newhall  challenged  the  edi- 
torial assertion  of  the  Times  that  "courses 
in  the  history  of  the  United  States  be  re- 
quired of  all  students  in  our  colleges  and 
universities  regardless  of  their  academic 
programs."  The  basis  of  the  Times' 
stand  was  a  nation-wide  survey  completed 
three  months  ago,  which  undertook  to 
prove  by  a  mass  of  figures  and  percentages 
that  since  most  American  colleges  did  not 
require  students  to  take  American  his- 
tory, these  same  neglected  students  lack- 
ed a  truly  patriotic  appreciation  of  the 
American  heritage  which  they  are  striv- 
ing to  protect  on  the  world's  battlefronts 
today.

Tiger  Rush  Checked 

The  second  half  was  pretty  much  all 
Williams  if  one  takes  a  look  at  the  chart 
of  the  game,  for  only  twice  did  the  Tigers 
ever  get  up  over  the  fifty  yard  line  on 
sustained  drives. 

With  time  running  out  Princeton  start- 
ed back  on  its  own  two  yard  line  with  a 
burst  of  power  that  might  well  have 
brought  a  touchdown.  But  after  throw- 
ing passes  to  Captain  Dick  Schmon  on 
three  plays,  the  Tigers  tried  a  fourth  pass 
that  boomeranged  into  the  waiting  arms 
ot  Williams'  quarterback  Tom  Powers 
and  after  that  bit  of  play  it  was  only  a 
matter  of  time  till  the  game  ended.

Irked  by  thf  clamor  of  protest  which 
^lilted  the  recent  announcement  thai 
most  college  reservists  will  probably  be 
i-,illed  up  early  next  year,  Secretary  of 
War  Henry  L.  Stimson  answeretl  his 
critics  last  week  with  a  flat  denial  of  the 
charge  that  the  Army  Enlisted  Reserve 
plan  means  the  "end  of  all  higher  educa- 
lion." 

The  Secretary  of  War  called  this  atti- 
iiide  a  "misapprehension,"  but  his  state- 
ment that  "the  Army  is  in  need  of  men  of 
specialized  training,  particularly  in

cine, offered  scant  encouragement  to 
liberal  arts  colleges.  He  scored  alarmed 
educators,  however,  for  jumping  to  con- 
clusions, and  insisted  that  "the  notice  that 
the  call  to  duty  would  come  early  in  1943 
should  not  have  occasioned  great  surprise." 
Proceed  with  Studies 

Stimson  suggested  that  "young  men 
who  have  joined  the  Army  Enlisted 
Reserve  or  who  now  enlist  in  it,  should 
proceed  with  their  studies  until  they  are 
called  to  active  duty."  "When  they  arc 
called,"  he  said,  "the  Army  will  utilize  for 
their  further  training,  such  facilities  of  its 
own  as  it  ma\-  have  or  of  the  colleges  as  it 
deems  best  to  meet  military  requirements 
as  they  then  exist ." 

A.  C.  E.  Issues  Statement 

Sinmltaneous  with  the  Stimson  state- 
ment came  a  bulU'tin  issued  by  the 
American  Council  on  Educaticm,  which 
slated  that  it  is  probable  that  the  Selective 
Service  Act  will  lie  revised  to  permit 
ilraftees  in  the  second  semester  of  a  college 
\ear  to  linish  out  that  term  if  they  wish. 
The  special  release  further  revealed  that 
the  much-discussed  proposal  to  lower  the 
draft  age  will  probably  not  be  acted  on 
until  after  Christmas  of  1943,  and  that  the 
minimum  age  will  more  likely  be  set  at 
nineteen,  rather  than  eighteen. 

The  Navy  Department  has  announced 
that  because  the  need  for  naval  officers  is 
regulated  by  the  available  ships  afloat,  it 
is  unlikely  that  any  change  in  their  pro- 
gram will  take  place  in  the  near  future. 
Ihe  Marines  and  the  Coast  Guard  have 
made  no  announcements  of  proposed 
changes,  but  their  representatives  have 
warned  that  should  the  exigencies  of  the 
war  require,  reservists  will  be  called  to  the 
( iilors  immediately. 

Williams  Golfers  Blank 
Middlebury  In  Wind-up 

Davis,  Steel  Set  Scoring 
Pace    in    Cold    Weather 

With  high  winds  and  the  first  touch  of 
biting  fall  weather  hindering  the  play  of 
l)ol  h  teams,  Williams'  golfers  romped  over 
a  weak  Middlebury  sextet,  9-0,  on  the 
Taconic  course  last  Monday.  It  was 
their  second  win  in  as  many  inter-colle- 
giate .starts  since  June. 

From  all  appearances,  the  match  was 
the  season's  golf  wind-up.  A  combination 
of  I'Viday  afternoon  exams  and  vacation 
have  forced  the  golfers  to  refuse  an  invi- 
tation to  play  against  Colgate,  Dart- 
mouth and  Middlebury  Saturday,  October 
10  in  Hanover,  New  Hampshire. 
Heuer  Battles  Young 

Only  in  the  first  foursome  was  the  inatch 
close.  Here  a  stubborn  fight  by  Sandy 
Young  and  Bill  Engesser  carried  Captain 
Fred  Barnes  and  Charlie  Heuer  to  the 
eighteenth  green  before  dropping  the 
bcstball  point.  In  the  top  individual 
'Hatch  Heuer  downed  Young  2  and  1  after 
leading  by  four  holes  at  the  turn.  These 
two  were  the  only  matches  that  lasted 
beyond  the  fourteenth  green.  Barnes 
topped  Engesser  6  and  5  for  the  third 
point  in  this  foursome.

Cow  Stalks  Tiger  in  Tenth  Game 
Of  Williams-Princeton  Grid  Series 

Impressive  Purple  Ground  Offense  Crushes 
Middlebury,   41-0,  in   Season   Opener 

by  Bruce  McCleixan  '45 

The  gho.sts  of  nine  previoii.sly  di'leated  Williams  elevens  will  be 
watcliiiig  from  the  parapets  of  Palmer  Stadium  this  Saturday  when  the 
1942  Epii  .squad  takes  the  field  against  Princeton.  After  flattening 
Middlebury,  U-O,  last  week  the  Purple  squad  holds  a  jiaper-rating 
equal  to  the  1911  team  that  lest  to  Princeton,  20-7,  after  tronncing 
Middlebury,  :$3-0. 

This  year's  squad  lacks  the  husky  and  aggressively  experienced 
linemen  of  the  1941  season  but  makes  up  for  this  loss  with  a  surplus  of 
fast  backs  who  are  equal  or  better  than  any  combination  carrying  the 

ball  last  year.

WMS  Plans  to  Air 
Princeton  Contest 

Financial  Aid  Necessary 
to  Alleviate  High  Cost; 
Student   Pledge   Sought 

The  Princeton  game  will  be  broadcast  to 
Willianistown  by  WMS  sometime  Satur- 
day afternoon,  if  a  sufficient  number  of 
students  pledge  themselves  to  pay  fifty 
cents  or  less  to  alleviate  the  expenses  of 
telephoning  the  game  from  Princeton, 
Robert  W.  Ilinnian  '43,  president  of  the 
college  radio  station  announced  yesterday. 
BroadcaHl  in  Past  Years 

Under  ordinary  circumstances  such 
financial  aid  from  the  student  body  would 
not  be  necessary,  for  the  Princeton  game 
has  been  broadcast  by  WMS  in  past  years, 
without  the  necessity  of  appealing  to  the 
undergraduates.  This  year,  however, 
Hinman  said  war  time  conditions  have 
made  telephone  costs  much  more  expensive 
than  they  were  in  other  years. 

Hinman  stressed  the  fact  that  the  more 
students  who  pledge  to  support  the  costs 
of  broadcasting  the  game,  the  less  each  of 
them  will  have  to  pay.  If  a  large  enough 
number  of  undergraduates  ofTcr  to  con- 
tribute, the  game  will  be  broadcast  to  all 
houses  and  dormitories  where  WMS  has 
installed  transmitters.  The  early  plan  to 
relay  the  game  only  to  the  auditorium  in 
Jesup  Hall  has  been  discarded,  Hinman 
added. 

All  Help  Needed 

A  two-day  survey  of  the  number  of 
students  who  would  be  willing  to  pledge 
their  financial  support  will  be  completed 
this  evening.  "Don't  be  a  slacker", 
Hinman  declared,  "and  try  to  hang  on  to 
the  coat  tails  of  some-one  who  docs 
pledge  their  help.  If  enough  fellows 
promise  to  contribute,  the  expense  per 
each  student  will  be  next  to  nothing." 

All  in  all,  the  total  expenses  of  broad- 
casting the  game  to  Willianistown  will  be 
at  least  $125.  While  approximately 
ninety  dollars  of  this  sum  will  pay  for  the 
telephone  lines  themselves  the  other 
thirty-five  will  take  care  of  transportation

Large  Group  Hears 
War  Heroes  Speak 
In  Jesup  Assembly 

Houses  Hold  Discussions ; 
Russians  Demand  2nd 
Land    Front    in    Europe 

hy  Edward  J.  Block  '45 

Speaking  brokenK,  fluently,  or  in  a 
forcigh  language  according  to  their  varying 
nationalities,  live  I'nited  Nations  war 
heroes  climaxed  several  inforjiial  dis- 
cussicms  by  addressing  a  large  audience  in 
Jesup  Hall,  Sunday  evening.  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall  conducted 
the  war  rally. 

Introduced  by  Miss  Monica  Owen, 
assistant  conference  secretary  of  the 
International  Student  .Service,  each 
speaker  emphasized  the  part  that  men  of 
the  student  age  were  playing  in  their 
respective  countries  to  bring  the  war  to  a 
successful  conclusicjn.  Each  expressed 
faith  in  the  ultimate  victory  of  the  United 
Nations  cause. 

'Death  to  Fascism' 

The  two  Russian  representati\'es,  speak- 
ing dramatically  in  their  native  timgue 
with  an  interpreter,  were  particularly 
vociferous  in  iheir  demands  for  an  imme- 
diate second  front. 

"Our  youth  hasn't  spared  blood,  or, 
more  precious,  lives  to  light  for  what  they 
belie\e  in,"  declared  Nicolai  Krasav- 
chenko,  fortifications  and  supply  engineer 
of  the  Moscow  defenses.  "We  will  be 
more  grateful  to  those  who  prove  their 
good  faith  by  deeds  instead  of  words," 
Krasavchenko  added. 

His  countryman,  Lieutinani  X'ladimir 
Pchelinstsev,  a  sniper  on  the  Leningrad 
front  with  152  dead  Nazis  to  his  credit, 
stated  that  "ninety  percent  of  the  total 
German  forces  are  lighting  on  the  Eastern 
front,  the  greatest  fnmt  of  the  second 
World  War,"  before  concluding  with  his 
dramatic,  "death  to  Ka.scism." 

Miss  Lung  Wang,  a  famous  Chinese 
actress  originally  scheduled  to  appear,  was 
unable  to  accompany  the  war  hero 
eiilouriijie  and  was  replaced  by  Ming  Tai 
Lee,  a  mining  engineer  now  studying  at 
the  I'niversity  of  California.  Mr.  Lee 
stressed  the  difficulties  of  students  in 
China  during  the  war  and  expressed  con- 
fidence in  the  triumph  of  the  United 
Nations, 

British  Officer  Speaks 

Captain  Peter  Cochrane,  1).  S.  C,  of  the 
British  arm\'  who  was  decorated  for 
service  in  Africa,  emphasized  mental 
preparation  for  liattle  among  students, 
declaring,  "You  are  not  an  efficient  fight- 
ing man  unless  ycm  know  what  \()U  are 
fighting  for.      Think  now !" 

Raden  Kadir,  Javanese  knight  of 
Orange-Nassau,  described  the  preparations 
for  war  in  the  Dutch  East  Indies  and  the 
gallant  struggle  against  the  Japs  which 
proved  tragically  futile.  Mr.  Katlir  also 
closed  with  an  optimistic  prophecy  for  the 
future. 

Acting  President  Newhall,  himself  a 
veteran  of  the  first  World  War,  opened  the 
rally  by  reminding  armchair  strategists 
that  "we  are  now  one  of  the  United 
Nations;  it  contributes  nothing  to  our 
cause  to  indulge  in  'constructive  criticism' 
of  our  allies."  The  war  ralK'  followed  a 
number  of  receptions  for  the  individual 
visitors  at  the  various  social  organizations 
on  campus.

Standing  on   Varsity 

Stanley  King,  president  of  Amherst, 
announced  Tuesday  night  that  fresh- 
men and  transfers  would  be  allowed 
to  participate  in  varsity  athletics  for 
the  duration.  The  announcement 
came  at  the  opening  of  the  college's 
122nd  year. 

President  King  stated  that  the 
faculty  had  granted  this  permission 
"with  reluctance."  Amherst  thus 
finally  joins  the  ranks  of  Williams  and 
Weslcyan,  which  voted  for  freshman 
participation  some  "time  ago.  Tufts 
now  remains  the  only  New  England 
college  to  retain  the  anti-freshman 
rule.

IN  WARTIME 


-BV   THE  1CU1T0RS= 


A  Review:  February    September,  1942 

Since  I^Oi  the  ictiriiif;:  editors  mid  iiuiiiagi'i-.s  of  TiiK  Rioroui)  liuve 
devoted  tiieir  final  editorial  to  the  radical  la.sk  of  criticizing  them.selves, 
of  .siiinmariziii},'  briefly  wiiat  have  been  their  major  .succcs.se.s  and  failures. 
■\Ve  of  l')i:5  have  edited  llii.s  newHiJaper  diiriiif;  day.s  of  revolutionary 
c-liaiige  at  Williani.s,  and  eon.se<|iieiitly  traditional  .standards  cannot  help 
us  determine  what  we  liavc  accomi)li.shed  in  publishing  twenty-eight 
issues  of  a  warliiiie  Ukcoki). 

Frankly,  we  do  not  know  what  successes,  if  any,  we  have  achieved. 
Eleven  proposals  made  in  these  columns  since  Kebruary  I  have  been 
a(loi)ted  by  various  college  organizations  or  individuals,  but  we  are  under 
no  delusion  that  all  these  acts  sprang  from  our  editorials.  We  fully  real- 
ize that  many  of  the  ideas  which  we  supported  have  been  jHit  into  action 
by  organizations  wlio.sc  nieinbers  and  leaders  got  their  ideas  iiidei)endent 
of  us.  We  list  llie.se  achievenienls  to  reveal  what  other  undergraduates, 
faculty  members,  and  alumni  have  accomplished,  and  to  show  what  we 
have  stood  for  this  year: 

\Mial  Vi  e  Have  Stood  For 

The  delegation  of  ])o\ver  from  faculty  to  llndergiiidiiate  Council  for 
cnforcenu'iit  of  college  driving  rules; 

The  college's  siijiport  of  Russian  War  Relief,  the  \\C\  Chest  Fund, 
and  the  gift  of  the  Whittlesey  Room  to  Fort  Devcns; 

.Vdoplion  by  the  sixteen  fraternities  of  Campus  Business  Manage- 
menl; 

.Vbolition  of  the  rule  which  puts  legacies  in  a  false  position  of  in-efer- 
eiicc  at  the  top  of  final  bid  lists  during  rushing; 

Institution  of  the  Student-Farmer  I'roject  which  now  has  over  1200 
hours  of  undergraduate  work  to  its  credit; 

Adoplidii  by  the  college  of  conii)iil.sory  Physical  Training  for  all 
classes ; 

Api)roval  by  the  S.  A.  C.  of  inex])eiisivc  houseparty  ])lans  for  the 
duration; 

Hiiilding  of  an  obstacle  course  for  P.  T.; 

Securing  tiie  delegation  of  power  from  the  faculty  to  the  Garfield 
Club  for  partial  .self-government  of  Currier  Hall; 

Toughening  of  enforcement  of  P.  T.  rules; 

Adoiition  by  the  undergraduates  of  a  more  effective  Constitution 
for  Student  Covcrnment. 

Although  we  cannot  tell  what  ])art  our  editorials  i)layed,  if  any,  in 
the  eleven  achievements  just  listed,  we  do  know  in  what  ways  we  have 
failed,  for  our  failures  can  be  measured  in  terms  of  editorial  propo.sals 
that  have  not  been  favorably  received  by  niajority  opinion.  Our  failures 
are  serious  because  lliey  indicate  where  we  have  been  unable  to  iiut  acros'^ 
our  beliefs.     Despite  our  editorials: 

Where  We  Ha\«'  l'"ailed  I 

Physical  Training  still  holds  a  reliilively  uiiimi)ortant  position  in  onr 
wartime  cinriculum,  and  progress  towards  the  goal  of  daily  P.  T.  is  being 
made  but  slowly. 

The  faculty  has  no  more  iiarticipation  in  what  the  trustees  do.  and 
the  undergraduates  very  little  more  |)articii)atiou  in  what  the  facnily 
does,  than  before  we  entered  Williams. 

.\1  though  the  ability  to  enforce  legislation  is  es.sential  to  effective 
undergraduate  government,  the  new  Executive  Committee  lacks  Ijic 
powers  which  now  belong  to  the  faculty's  Committee  on  Disci|)line. 

The  college  has  not  yet  donated  blood  to  the  Blood  Service  of  the 
American  Red  Cross. 

Hell  Week  in  wartime  has  not  been  restricted  to  the  learning  of 
fraternity  history  and  ideals,  and  to  the  formal  i)roce.sses  of  initialion. 

The  "house  line,"  an  almost  inviolable  tradition  that  members  of  a 
.social  unit  delegation  will  back  one  of  their  number,  continues  to  place 
hou.se  prestige  above  individual  merit  in  selecting  class  nominees. 

The  average  student  still  voles  only  apathetically  in  college  eleclions, 
still  does  not  bother  to  att<'nd  college  meetings,  .still  fails  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  concert,  leclnre,  or  dramatic  op])ortunities  offered  here. 

But  we  cannot  believe  lliese  failures  belong  to  us  alone.  They  be- 
long to  every  member  of  the  college  eommiinity  who  allows  an  inbred 
conservatism  and  an  iiiexplaiiiable  distrust  of  innovation  to  sabotage 
most  of  the  progressive  jjioposals  ])resente(l  here  and  elsewhere.  Our 
failures  belong  to  tlio.se  undergraduates  who  do  not  yet  know  how  to  do 
their  best  by  this  war  because  they  still  think  in  terms  of  Hell  Week  and 
luniseparties,  not  war  stamps  and  .secinid  fronts.  At  times  we  have  been 
guilty  of  eon.servatisni.  mistrust,  and  business  as  usual  ourselves.  We 
hope  our  .sneccs.sors  will  never  be,  and  that  they  will  rectify  many  of  the 
mistakes  and  failures  which  we  are  leaving  them.  We  believe  their 
oi)portuiiity  for  jjrogressive  action  is  great,  for  the  low  morale  of  last 
.summer  and  the  concept  of  business  as  usual  at  William.s  are  both  reced- 
ing into  the  background  today. 

We  are  glad  to  liave  had  a  part  in  gearing  a  new  William.s  to  the  cau.se 
of  the  riiited  Nations.  We  are  glad  our  ex|)eriences  on  Tlir  Rict  oni)  have 
cemented  our  faith  in  man's  ability  to  do  things  for  him.self,  to  master  his 
own  destiny,  to  prove  that  Jeffer.son,  not  Hamilton,  was  right.  .Viid  we 
are  glad  that  we  are  being  succeeded  by  men  who  feel  that  victory  in  the 
war  and  in  the  pence  is  the  main  responsibility  of  Williams  College,  and 
who  are  convinced  that  the  Williams  faculty  and  nndergraduales,  what- 
ever their  shortcomings,  will  mea.siire  up  to  the  challenge  of  that  resixiiisi- 
hility.

Williams  cheerleaders  have  generally  left 
something  to  be  desired.  At  the  Middlehury 
game  Saturday  this  year's  edition  of  the 
staff  appeared  Utile  better,  failing  to  live  up 
to  the  good  standard  set  by  Friday's  rally. 
Joking  and  lack  of  concentration  character 
i:ed  the  day.  The  Williams  staff  must 
realize  that  cheerleading  is  more  than  an 
opportunity  to  wear  white  flannels  once  a 
week ;  it  is  a  iob,  a  tough  iob,  one  which  must 
lie  done  well.

The  Bengals  marched  einhly-five  conse- 
cutive yards  on  the  ground  for  their  (irst 
tally  against  1-akehurst. 

Later  in  the  ganie  Princeton  uncovered 
a  passing  attack  when  Bob  Perina's  passes 
to  Captain  Dick  Schnion  put  the  ball  over 
the  double  stripe  for  the  Tillers.  Last 
\-ear  Perina's  passes  tallied  the  winning 
Inuchdowns  against  Williams. 

.Midcllebury  gained  ninety  yards  Satur- 
day Ijy  completing  four  out  of  twelve 
pas.ses  through  the  Williams  defense. 
Omch  Charlie  Caldwell  will  have  lo

The  starling  lines  both  weigh  in  at  186 
pounds  averagi'  while  the  Princeton  back- 
lield  averages  four  pounds  less  than  the 
180  pound  average  weight  of  the  Kph  ball 
carriers.  Coupled  with  Williams'  speed, 
this  slim  weight  advantage  should  give  the 
Purple  backs  a  slight  theoretical  advan- 
tage. 

In  crushing  the  Panthers  last  Saturday 
Williams  gained  an  impressive  net  total 
of  ,?37  yards  rushing  while  holding  the 
Panthers  to  thirty-three.  Williams' 
speedster  halfbacks,  Gunner  Hayes,  Pat 
Higgins,  Red  Nichols,  and  Bill  Schmidt 
marked  up  long  gains  almost  at  will,  and 
Bil  Orr  consistently  pushed  his  way 
through  center  to  the  secondary. 

Schmidt  tallied  the  game's  initial  six- 
pointer  after  Williams  took  the  ball  on  the 
opening  exchange  of  punts  and  drove 
through  the  Vermont  center  for  four  con-

he  took  the  ball  over  the  line  from  the

visitors  back  where  they  could  make  no

Although  Middleliury  was  cooked  to  an 
extravagant  41-0  tune  on  the  Williams 
gridiron  last  Saturda\,  the  game  was  no 
yardstick  to  compare  ihe  Kph  sipiad  willi 
other  college  teams.  The  Panthers  proved 
to  be  little  belter  than  a  good  prep  school 
team. 

■|"he  lighting  efTorls  of  their  whole  squad 
were  sabotaged  b\  the  pitifully  weak 
center  of  the  line.  To  help  his  line  the 
visitors'  coach  pushed  his  6-2-2-1  defense 
in  so  close  to  the  scrimmage  line  that 
Williams  aerial  plays  were  virtual  cer- 
tainties. Over-shifling  also  weakened  the 
line  still  further. 

'I'his  same  weak  line  completely. bottle- 
necked  the  polentialh-  powerful  "T" 
formation  used  In  the  visitors.  Pre- 
ret|uisite  of  the  Koekne  s\stem  is  a  strong 
line.  Deception  can  be  extremeh-  effec- 
tive with  the  "'I'"  formation,  but  the  e.xtra 
razzle-dazzle  is  secured  only  at  the  cost  of 
greater  protection  for  ihe  backs. 
Notes 
Even  though  freshman  Pat  Higgins 
didn't  start,  we  put  our  money  on  him  as 
potentially  Williams'  best  all-around  back. 
Wait  until  he  fing(l>  what  he  learned  in 
prep  school. 

Though  we  diilii'i  need  the  distance, 
it's  nice  to  know  that  I'om  Powers  can 
average  44  yards  (or  live  punts  during  the 
game. 

Princeton 
This   intrepid   reporter  is  travelling  to 
Princeton  in  the  vague  hope  Williams  men 
all  hold  that  some  tlay  ihere's  going  to  be 
an  upset  in   Palmer  slailium.     The  odds 
are  pretty  long  even  if  you  happen  to  sit 
cm  the  Eph  side  of  ihe  bowl. 
Clarkson 
We  hope  you  didn't  ask  the  same  girl 
for  the  weekend  of  Oct.  10  that  you  did  for 
the    Middlebur\     game.     S\racuse    beat 
Clarkson    58-0    last    week.     In    the    last 
(juarter  Coach  Ossie  Solem  told  his  team 
not  to  score  again. 

They  tried  six  lield  goals.

LYON 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Althcmgh  his  parents  have  ncd  learned 
where  the  air  battle  took  place,  his  mother 
said  that  she  assumed  that  he  was  hos- 
|)ila!ized  in  England.  Lyon,  who  enlisted 
in  the  Royal  Canadian  Air  Force  at 
Montreal  in  June,  1941  after  linishing  his 
sophomore  year  at  Williams,  was  at- 
tached to  the  bomber  command.  After 
training  in  Canada,  he  \v;i>  sent  over- 
seas last  March. 

■file  lir.st  word  of  Lyon's  injury  reached 
his  parents  from  his  wife,  the  former  Helen 
Suzelte  Gale,  of  Quebec,  Canada,  whom  he 
married  last  February  shiulb'  before  his 
departure  for  England.  I'wo  months  ago, 
Lx'on's  parents  had  received  an  enthu- 
siastic letter  from  him,  in  which  he  de- 
clared that  he  was  "ready  to  go."  This 
was  the  last  word  the\'  had  heard  of  their 
son  until  the  news  of  his  being  wounded 
reached  them.  His  father  has  cabled 
I'riends  in  London  in  an  atlempl  "to  try  to 
get  in  touch  with  him." 

Lyon,  now  twenty-lwo  years  old, 
entered  Williams  in  the  fall  of  19,19,  after 
graduating  from  the  Kent  School.  He 
was  a  member  of  Sigma  Phi.  He  played 
freshman  baseball,  and,  during  his  last 
year  in  college,  was  on  the  varsity  foot- 
ball stjuad.     His  home  is  in  Narberth,  Pa. 

Boys'  Club   Reopens 
As  Seventy  Register 

The  Williamstown  Boys'  Club,  uniler 
the  auspices  of  the  WCA,  has  been  pre- 
paring for  its  fall  and  winter  activities 
during  the  last  two  weeks,  as  almost 
seventy  boys  signed  up  for  ihe  season. 
The  Rev.  Charles  R.  Monteilh  '42  is  in 
charge  of  the  Club,  while  Williams  stu- 
dents are  serving  as  junior  counselors. 

The  main  problem  confronting  the 
board  of  directors  is  the  shortage  of  stu- 
dents willing  to  work  at  the  Club.  Ed- 
waril  R.  Howe  '44,  secretary  of  the  Boys' 
Club,  hopes  that  more  men  will  take  part 
after  mid-year  exams  are  finished.  "Al- 
though we  have  only  eight  students  signed 
up,"  says  Howe,  "others  have  spoken  to 
me  on  this  subject.  I  think  we  will  have 
a  full  quota  of  about  fifteen  men." 

The  Boys'  Club  building,  loeateil  on 
Cole  Avenue,  is  replete  with  basketball 
court,  ping  pong  and  pool  tables,  and 
a  radio.  It  is  open  six  days  a  week  from 
2:30  to  5:30  anil  from  7:30  to  9:00  p.m. 
to  all  Williamstown  boys  who  have  mem- 
bership cards.  Games  are  organized 
during  these  periods  for  all  who  want  lo 
take  part. 


Soccer  Team  Plays 
Two  Vacation  Tilts 

Springfield,  R.P.I.  Oppose 
Booters  in  Cole  Field 
Contests  October  10,   17 

With  games  against  Springfield  and 
K.P.I,  scheduled  October  10  and  17, 
Coach  Ed  Bullock  this  week  began  pulling 
his  soccer  squad  ihrough  uvo-hour  scrini- 
inages,  lielween  ihi-  first  and  second  teams 
and  .igainsl  the  freshmen,  in  an  attempt 
to  find  a  consistent  offensive  and  defensive 
combination. 

Injuries  and  lax  attendance  have  hamp- 
ere<l  Bullock's  efTorts,  but  by  holding  two 
hour  drills  ever>'  afternoon  through  ihe 
examination  period,  he  hopes  lo  have  the 
squad  in  shape  for  the  opener.  The 
R.P.I,  encounter  will  be  played  with  bul 
a  single  day's  practice  after  a  week's  la>- 
off,  caused  by  the  vacation  after  exams. 
Stults  Wins  Position 

The  fitsi  learn  this  week  has  seen  Wall 
Stults  holding  down  the  center  position 
in  the  absence  of  Larr\'  Smith,  speedv' 
sophomore  forward,  who  is  oiil  with  a 
knee  injury.  When  Smith  returns  to  the 
s(|uad,  either  he  or  Stults  ma\'  be  shifted 
to  one  of  the  inside  positions,  for  lhe\-  have 
been  the  leading  scorers  in  scrimmages. 
At  the  insiile  posts  letterman  Hill  Brewer 
and  soijhomore  Bill  Eyre  ha\'e  been  play- 
ing aggressive  soccer  and  should  get  the 
nod  over  Nip  Wilson.  Carter  Hall,  last 
fall's  right  halfback,  has  been  shifted  to 
right  outside,  while  anolher  veteran, 
George  Simson,  is  at  oulside  left. 
Thompson    at   Center   Half 

Captain  Larry  Thompson  has  been  a 
fixture  at  center  halfback  where  he  has 
sparked  the  eleven's  ol'I'etiM'  and  defense. 
At  left  half,  Frank  VVozeneraft  was  the 
leading  contender,  but  att  ankle  injur\' 
has  krpl  him  out  of  act  inn  for  a  week. 
He  will  likely  be  ready  lor  play  before  the 
Springlield  game.  Right  halfback  is  si  ill 
open,  with  Cjordon  Gelsinger  and  Deiiin 
X'olkmann  fighting  it  oul  for  th<'  position. 

The  fullback  positions  are  still  the  nmsl 
unsettled.  Dave  Thurston  and  Chink 
Walker  have  been  pla\'ing  on  the  first 
team  for  the  past  week,  but  Bill  Klopman 
and  Gordon  Michler  are  pressing  them 
steadily.  Al  James,  laid  up  with  a  char- 
ley-horse,  will  be  ready  to  pla\'  in  a  few 
days  to  make  it  a  five-cornered  fight  for 
the  two  fullback  spots.  Tom  Hoo\ei 
has  the  goalie  post  just  abimt  clinched, 
although  Hill  Morrisex  cannol  be  con- 
sidered out  of  the  running. 


GLEE  CLUB 


(Continued  from  page  2) 
\as.s;ir  Glee  Club,  consideretl  the  best 
feminine  choral  group  in  the  East,  will 
join  the  Williams  organization  on  Decem- 
ber 13  for  a  joint  concert.  Following  the 
\assar  appearance,  the  (dee  Club  will 
join  with  the  local  Bach  Chorus  sometime 
in  December  or  early  January  for  its 
second  concert. 

Still  in  the  process  of  formulation  is  the 
Wellesley  concert,  which,  if  given  at 
Williamstown,  will  feature  the  joint 
appearance  of  the  Wellesley  (lice  Club  and 
an  enlarged  Williams  Choir  in  a  Sunday 
afternoon  Chapel  performance.  If  the 
concert  is  hehl  at  Wellesley,  the  same 
arrangement  is  expected  to  be  followed, 
with  the  two  groups  joining  in  a  chapel 
appearance. 

TruiiNporlalion  Acuite  l*ri>lilcin 

Almost  certain  to  be  contracted  is  the 
concert  with  Bennington,  which  will 
present  the  Williams  organization  in  con- 
junctit.)n  with  the  Bennington  .Symphony 
Orchestra  or  with  vocal  soloists  front 
Bennington.  Because  of  relative  sim- 
plicity in  transportation,  the  concert  is 
expected  to  be  arranged  delinitely  within 
a  short  time. 

The  main  obstacle  to  the  ('■lee  Club  is 
the  current  transportation  problem,  which 
may  prevent  long  trips  and  make  the 
movement  of  the  whole  organization  too 
expensive.  The  ileliniie  appearance  with 
X'assar  and  the  summer  performance  of  the 
(dee  Club  with  Serge  Koussevitsky  at 
Tanglcwood,  howex'er,  ha\e  made  it  as 
active  as  any  college  musical  organization 
during  the  presenl  year.

Second  Semester 

High  School  Graduates 
Dominate  1946-0  Group; 
Pledge    Night    Saturday 

by  John  H.  Winant  '45 

following  close  behind  the  Presidential 
plea  for  a  lower  induction  age,  the  second 
section  of  the  class  of  1946,  sixty-eight 
strong,  invaded  Williamstown  a  week  ago 
Wednesday  night  to  begin  four  days  of 
meetings  and  conferences  designed  to 
acclimate  them  to  college  life. 

S8%  from  High  Schools 

Designated  1946-0,  as  differed  from 
1946-J,  the  larger  section  entering  in  June, 
the  class  draws  its  membership  predomi- 
nantly from  high  schools.  Breaking  the 
conventional  Williams  tradition  of  pre- 
paratory school  supremacy,  the  group 
contains  a  fifty-eight  per  cent  high  school 
complement,  as  opposed  to  the  average 
thirty  per  cent  figure  during  recent  years. 
Among  the  members  are  five  sons  of 
Williams  alumni. 

The  group  began  their  orientation 
program  with  a  series  of  conference 
sessions  with  faculty  advisers  Thursday 
morning,  and  followed  through  with  the 
ICnglish  Placement  Test  and  the  first  class 
meeting.  Convening  in  Jesup  Hall  Audi- 
torium, bfificials  of  the  administration  and 
athletic  department  extended  a  welcome 
in  the  form  of  short  addresses  covering 
the  various  sides  of  college  interest. 
New  (Jovfrnmcnt  Explained 

Other  meetiniis,  at  which  the  renovated 
plan  of  student  government  and  the 
functions  of  the  Honor  System  were  ex- 
plained, followed  on  Kiiday  and  Saturday, 
along  with  the  official  college  welcome  and 
address  of  President  James  P.  Haxter,  111 
'14  who  hns  returned  to  Williams  on  a 
five-day-a-week  basis  for  the  term.  (See

War  Needs  Evolve 
Two  New  Courses 

Chemistry  Department 
Adds  Pre-Med  Classes ; 
Revises      Senior      Major 

In  line  with  the  policy  of  preparing 
undergraduates  for  present  needs  in  the 
service  of  the  nation,  the  chemistry  depart- 
ment this  week  announced  the  revision  of 
one  course  and  the  creation  of  a  second  to 
equip  future  doctors  and  chemists  with  the 
knowledge  essential  for  war  work. 

Future  Trends  Unpredictable 

Although  a  previous  announcement  from 
the  department  stated  that  no  revisions 
were  being  contemplated  because  of  peak 
enrollment,  taxed  equipment,  and  the 
necessity  of  a  sound  basis  in  the  field  before 
advanced  training,  the  exigencies  of  the 
war  have  necessitated  the  changes.  Both 
courses  are  to  begin  this  semester  on  the 
new  basis,  but  future  trends  in  the  depart- 
ment are  unpredictable,  and  other  re- 
visions may  have  to  be  made  by  next  year. 

Chemistry  12,  created  to  meet  the  needs 
of  students  who  desire  entrance  into 
medical  school  before  present  schedules 
will  allow  them,  will  condense  the  material 
now  given  in  Chemistry  7-8,  laying 
emphasis  on  pre-medical  points.  Under 
the  new  plan,  undergraduates  can  gain 
admission  to  most  medical  schools  by  the 
end  of  their  junior  year.  At  this  point, 
approximately  23  students  have  enrolled 
in  the  course,  which  had  its  first  meeting 
of  the  semester  this  morning  at  1 1 :00. 
Five  Main  Divisionk 

Chemistry  10,  which  has  been  drasti- 
cally overhauled,  will  now  concentrate  on 
individual  and  group  instruction  in  specific 
fields,  with  emphasis  on  relations  to  the 
War-world.  The  material  to  be  covered 
in  this  course,  which  is  the  senior  major 
sequence  subject,  is  divided  into  five  main 
divisions.  The  first.  Metallography,  will

Sophomore*  Stripped 
As  '46-J,-0  Join  Forces 

1946-0  against  1946-J;  1946's  to- 
gether against  the  sophomores;  and 
nobody  to  lead  anybody.  Last  night 
a  jumbled,  slow  starting,  and  all  but 
abortive  reincarnation  of  the  peren- 
nial freshman-sophomore  strunKle 
wandered  over  the  campus,  flared  for 
a  few  minutes  in  front  of  M(]rgan 
Hall,  sputtered  at  Hell's  Entry  ami 
then  rekindled  and  swept  over  t(j  the 
Berkshire  Quad  and  back,  ending  in 
a   clothes-littered    Freshman    Quad. 

Formally  dressed,  sweatered,  and 
pajama-ed  juniors  and  seniors  pro- 
vided the  main  vocal  impetus,  stand- 
ing in  the  freshman  van,  urging  them 
into  Morgan,  keeping  them  froiii 
falling  victims  to  a  lack  of  leadership. 
It  was  no  Stalingrad.  The  Marine 
recruiting  officers  would  have  been 
disappointed.

absence  to  Frederick  L.  Schuman,  Wood- 
row  Wilson  Professor  of  Government,  for

Friend  of  Williams 
Bequeaths  $50,000 
For  Use  of  College 

The  college  that  his  .son-in-law  and 
three  grandsons  attended  was  remembered 
recently  in  the  will  of  the  late  Ellis  P. 
Earleof  Montclair,  N.  J.,  who  bequeathed 
the  sum  of  $50,000  for  the  use  of  Williams 
at  its  own  discretion.  Mr.  Earle,  long 
ntercsted  in  the  college  through  his 
family,  was  for  many  years  a  prominent 
figure  in  Canadian  and  American  mining, 
maintaining  his  offices  in  New  York  City. 

He  was  instrumental  in  creating  the 
New  Jersey  State  Board  of  Control  of 
Institutions  and  Agencies,  which  regulates 
all  public  institutions  in  that  state,  and 
for  twenty  years  served  as  its  president. 

His  son-in-law,  Henry  R.  Johnston  '09, 
is  prominent  among  Williams  alumni, 
having  served  as  a  member  of  the  College 
Board  of  Trustees  for  the  term  1926-31. 
He  is  also  the  donor  of  the  Johnston 
Trophy,  emblematic  of  the  friendly  com- 
petition in  athletic  and  scholastic  contests 
between  Williams  and  Amherst.  Johns- 
ton's sons,  Douglas  '3i,  David  '39,  and 
Alexander  '41,  were  all  prominent  in 
college  activities.

Caldwell  Eleven  Ready  for  Clash 
With    Underdog  Tufts  Tomorrow 

Comparative  Game  Scores  Give  Purple  Edge; 
Ephs  Seek  Twelfth  Win  in  Series 

by  Bruce  McClellan  '4.S 

With  heavy  odds  against  them  the  Fufts  eleven  will  invade  Williamstown  this 
Saturday  to  meet  an  undefeated  F^ph  squad  at  2:30  p.  m.  on  Weston  F'ield.  The 
opening  whistle  will  lind  both  teams  in  top  shape  for  the  llfteenlh  game  of  a  lift \- 
seven  year  rivalry. 

Williams  will  be  seeking  its  twelfth  win'f' 
in   the    series    against   the    Jundjos.     The 


visitors  this  yi'ar  have  won  only  one  game, 
and  have  lacked  olTen.sive  power  to  back 
their  strong  defensive  spirit. 

Purple  Highly  Favored 

The  Medford  eleven  bowed  to  Bowdoin, 
13-0,  and  heal  Middlebury  by  a  t  wo  touch- 
down niargin.  Bates  and  Boslmi  Iniver- 
sity beat  Tufts  by  single  tallies.  Williams' 
decisive  wins  over  both  Middlcbury  and 
Bowdoin  give  the  Purple  an  edge  on  the 
basis  of  comparative  scores. 

Coach  Lewis  Manly  carries  a  small 
squad  built  around  eight  returning  letter- 


men  who  will  remember  the  34-7  whipping 
handed  tbeni  b\'  the  I'Ml  Purple  squad. 
With  freshmen  still  ineligible  at  Tufts,  new

Scrap  Drive  for  Metal 
Amasses  Over  125  Tons 

Search        for        Fraternity 
Salvage    Begins    Oct.    26 

Boilers,  bathtubs,  safes,  fences,  and 
even  a  suit  of  armor  have  been  brought 
together  in  a  bizarre  collection  of  scrap 
accumulated  as  a  result  of  the  local  salvage 
drive  for  metal  which  has  amassed  over 
1 25  tons  the  past  three  weeks,  according  to 
Wallace  E.  Green,  chairman  of  the  salvage 
committee.  Looting  of  the  fraternities 
for  unused  metal  will  begin  Monday  in  a 
campaign  initiated  by  two  freshmen. 
Marry  N.  Bane  and  James  M.  Smith,  at 
the  suggestion  of  Thomas  J.  Wood, 
director  of  admissions. 

Deposit  Bins  Erected 

Air  raid  wardens  under  the  direction  of 
Elmer  B.  Noble,  chief  air  raid  warden, 
have  canvassed  every  home,  place  of 
business,  and  farm,  evaluating  the  amount 
of  available  scrap  and  sending  trucks  to 
collect  it.'  Deposit  bins  have  been  erected 
at  Main  Street,  Cole  Avenue,  Bryant's 
Barn,  the  South  Center  School  in  South 
Williamstown,  the  Broad  Brook  School  in 
White  Oaks,  and  West's  filling  station  on 
Spring  Street. 

School  children  have  been  cooperating 
effectively  in  the  drive  ever  since  its 
inception  three  weeks  ago,  bringing  in 
lighter  scrap  and  forming  a  collection  of 
keys.  The  Williamstown  High  School 
staged  a  "scrap  dance"  at  the  Mitchell 
auditorium  last  week  and  charged  an 
admission  price  of  ten  pounds  of  scrap.

Purple  Key  Dance  Will 
Benefit  Training  Table 

War      Relief      Party      Set 
For   Following   Weekend 

The  Purple  Ke\ ,  s|)onsor  of  tomorrow 
evening's  dance  at  l.asell  ('i\ni,  announced 
Wednesday  that  all  prolits  will  go  to  the 
training  table.  David  W.  Brown  '43, 
Purple  Key  presi<lent,  said,  "This  year, 
even  more  than  in  the  past,  the  training 
table  has  had  to  give  many  waiting  jobs. 
As  we  have  an  excellent  team,  the  under- 
graduates should  show  their  appreciation 
by  attending  the  ilance." 

New  Popular  Songs 
The  Purple  Knights  will  furnish  the 
music,  beginning  promptly  at  9:00  and 
continuing  with  brief  intermissions  until 
midnight.  Donald  L.  I'uchs  '44,  manager 
of  the  Knights,  said  that  although  the 
orchestra  had  not  had  much  time  for 
practice  recently,  it  will  be  prepared  to 
play  some  popular  new  scnigs  including 
White  Christmas,  Manhallaii  Serenade,  and 
Mister  Five-by-Five. 

A  series  of  Allied  War  Relief  dances  is 
to  be  inaugurated  Friday,  October  30. 
Two  orchestras  will  be  on  hand  to  play 
continuous  music;  the  Purple  Knights  and 
Baden  Lewis  of  North  Adams,  famed 
player  of  round  and  square  dance  music. 
Joe  Face  of  Troy  will  act  as  caller.  The 
proceeds  of  this  dance  will  be  divided 
equally  among  China,  Great  Britain, 
Greece,  the  Netherlands,  and  Russia. 

Tickets  for  tomorrow  night's  dance  are 
eighty-five  cents.  They  may  be  purchased 
from  house  heads,  while  the  members  of 
the  football  team  will  sell  tickets  at  the 
door  on  dance  night. 


President  Will  Spend 
Five  Days  Here,  Two 
in  Nation's  Capital 

Chapel  Speaker  Sunday 

President  James  P.  Baxter,  111  '14 
returned  this  week  to  the  desk  in  No.  1 
Hopkins  Hall  which  he  left  in  August, 
1941,  when  he  assumed  the  office  of  I  )eputy 
Coordinator  of  Information,  under  Col. 
William  J.  Dcmovan.  President  Baxter 
will  continue  his  war  work  on  a  two-day 
per  week  basis,  spending  the  rest  of  his 
time  as  Williams'  chief  executive. 
Will  Speak  in  Chapel 

Dr.  Baxter  will  make  his  lirst  appear- 
ance since  June  before  the  entire  college 
when  he  delivers  an  address  on  Williams' 
position  in  a  world  at  war  during  vesper 
services  Sunda\  evening  in  the  Thompson 
Chapel. 

In  aildition  to  his  Washington  and 
Williamstown  executive  work.  Dr.  Baxter 
has  gone  back  to  the  classroom,  where  he 
is  teaching  and  lecturing,  together  with 
Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall,  in, Political 
.Science  4,  the  course  which  Professor 
Fri'derick  L.  Schuman  abandoned  when  he 
went  to  Washington  last  week.  The 
Presideiu  will  also  deliver  lectures  on 
American  diplomatic  history  in  conjunc- 
ti(m  with  History  10. 

Put  Under  Arnrxy,  Navy 

Appointed  by  Colonel  l)ono\'an,  then 
the  Coordinator  of  Information,  Dr. 
Baxter  remained  in  the  same  position 
when  Elmer  Davis  became  chief  of  the 
newly-created  all-inclusive  OHice  of  War 
Information.  Donovan's      department 

then  became  known  as  the  Ofiice  of 
Strategic  Services  and  was  put  under  the 
general  staffs  of  the  .'\rm\'  an<l  Nav\'. 

Acting  under  secret  orders,  and  with 
his  leave  (jf  absence  from  Williams  ex- 
tended until  October  II,  l)epul\  Coor- 
dinaloi  Baxter  flew  to  England  last  Jul\. 
His  mission  is  still  clouded  l)\"  cen>.nrshii). 
Flies  to  Washington 

At  present,  Dr.  Haxter  plans  to  divide 
his  time  b\  tl\ing  to  Washington  Monday 
nights,  returning  by  plane  or  car  each 
Thursday  morning. 

Next  week  President  Baxter  will 
further  add  to  bis  tasks  when  he  accepts 
Harvard  President  James  B.  Conant's 
invitation  to  speak  at  the  Association  of 
American  College  Presi(U'rits  in  Philadel- 
phia, lie  will  take  part  in  a  discussion  of 
the  situation  of  colleges  in  the  war  pro- 
gram. 

CBM  Initiates  Uniform 
HouseAccountingNov.l 

The  Campus  Business  Management 
under  the  direction  of  Frank  K.  Thonis,  Jr. 
'30  will  take  a  big  step  fcnward  the  lirst  of 
next  month  when  its  initial  majiir  objective 
will  be  achieved  with  the  introduction  of 
a  uniform  system  of  bookki'eping  for  all 
fraternities.  In  conjunction  with  this 
move,  budgets  for  a  new  twelve-month 
fiscal  year  and  monthly  report  forms  will 
be  instituted  as  part  of  the  new  program. 
Uniformity  of  Bookkeeping 

In  addition  to  uniformity,  the  innova- 
tion will  offer  many  other  advantages  to 
meet  the  pressures  of  econcmiy  and  time  in 
a  war  crisis.  By  a  simple  adaptation  of 
of  the  kind  of  books  now  in  use  at  one  of 
the  fraternities,  this  plan  eliminates  the 
cost  of  new  forms  and  has  the  advantage 
of  completeness  without  .sacrifice  of  clarity. 
With  little  study  anyone  can  learn  how  to 
keep  the  books — an  important  feature  in 
view  of  the  more  rapid  turnover  in  the 
personnel  of  house  treasurers. 

Time  spent  on  bookkeeping  will  be  kept 
to  a  minimum  and  in  a  sense  the  new 
system  is  self-balancing.  The  real  gain  or 
loss  of  a  house  can  be  easily  computed  at 
definite  periods.  Complete  results  for 
each  month  will  be  ta\)ulated  in  the  report

Where  We  Stand 

Almost  elcvtii  iiioiitlis  liavf  (■lai)sed  since  llie  cditoi'  of  The  RECOiti) 
.said,  "(ieiitlcimii,  il  is  lu'iv."  Alino.st  eleven  moiitlis  have  elapsed  .since 
on  Deeemher  «,  1^11,  lie  said.  "Two  decades  ago  il  was  another  genera- 
lion's  war.     This  (nic  is  ours," 

Today  almost  iinylhiii}''  we,  tiie  Ihirty-eightli  editorial  hoard  ()f 
Tin;  Wii.i.iA.Ms  Recohi),  can  say  would  be  trite.  Hut  this  war  hasn't 
been  ours;  others  have  I'oiiK'lil  i"  "iir  ])laces  all  over  the  world.  We've 
been  liviiif;'  on  l)oi-i-o\ved  lime,  .some  editors  have  .saiil. 
Liberal  Arts  The  Fxitiire 
Williams  Collese  has  ehaii^ed  a  lot  in  eleven  moiillis;  unprecedented 
limes  have  activated  unpi-ecedeiited  cbaiifie  in  every  liberal  arts  institu- 
tion. IJut  Williams  is  still  Williams,  and  liberal  arts  is  still  liberal  ai-ts 
despite  .siinmier  sessions  and  speed-ups.  Some  of  the  nation's  leaders 
have  challeuKeil  the  right  of  liberal  arts  to  existence  in  wartime.  A 
news  stoi-y  covering  the  Congressional  debate  on  drafting  eighteen-  and 
iiincteen-year-ohl  men  quoted  North  ("ai'olina's  Rcin-eseiilative  C'ooley 
as  follows  and  I'an: 

■'/'(/  he  williiifi  to  liaio  all  the  ediiralimial  institiiliona  of  the  country 
whiili  arc  Imi-hing.  philosophy,  latin,  and  sociology  and  smli  hunk  turned 
over  to  traininii  sUidouh  for  u-ar,  hut  there's  no  .such  proposal  up  here. 
"Mr.  Cooley's  slalemeiits  were  applauded." 

We  applaud  Mr.  Cooley's  idea  that  students  must  take  more  active 
particii)ati<)ii  in  the  war;  we  cannot  ai)plaud  his  tactic,  for  we  do  not  think 
of  "philosoi)hy,  Latin,  and  sociology  and  such  "as  "bunk."  We  agree 
that  liberal  arls  as  such  seems  to  have  lost  all  ineauiiig  in  the  face  of  the 
job  at  hand.  Many  lihei-al  arts  stinlents  a.sk  lor  nothing  moi-e  than  an 
opi)(>rtiinity  to  make  this  war  their  war.  It  now  ai)pears  that  op])ortuiiily, 
in  one  form  or  another,  will  be  given  them  —  anil  .soon. 

Hut  until  that  lime,  a  sincere  effort  to  ilevelop  physically  and  mental- 
ly will  be  our  best  cuntrihution  to  the  can.se  of  the  United  Nations.  And 
until  that  time  tlieie  is  much  to  be  done  liiic  at  Williams  wiiei-e  they  ai-e 
still  "teaching  pliilo.sophy,  Latin  and  smiology  and  such  bunk."  We, 
the  thirty-eighth  hoai-d  of  editoi-s,  will  diilieale  ourselves  to  the  realiza- 
tion of  a  i-emucil  war  prof^rani;  we  will  attempt  to  bring  about  a  rebirth 
of  the  aggressive  spirit  which  charaetiri/.ed  the  Pre-1'earl  IlarborWilliams. 
A  Program  for  I  be  I'roseiil 
In  line  with  this  jwlicy  we  will  at  this  time  support  an  eight-point 
program : 

I — Wo  vvill  urge  a  faculty  lecture  series  on  the  condnct  of  the  war  and 
on  peace  aims  as  a  prerequisite  for  the  rebirth  of  high  morale  at  Williams. 

11 — We  will  wholeheartedly  hack  the  college  ,scia|)  metal  drive  i)roposcd 
by  a  group  of  freshmen  for  the  near  future.  The  (largoyle  fence,  ornate 
grill  work  on  the  geology  lab,  old  fiiniaces  and  jiipes  in  college  and  frater- 
nity buildings,  metal  fence  po>ls  In  i)re.serve  grass.  unu,sed  boot  .scrai)ers 
on  local  i)orches,  and  hrokeiiiliiwn  I'adiators  are  metal  objects  which 
could  .serve  more  usefully  in  tin  rnim  of  hiillels.  rifles  and  tanks. 

Ill — We  will  support  any  and  all  war  slainp  or  war  bond  drives  on 
campus.  Among  oilier  things.  I  he  I'lirple  Key  might  anctiou  the  Wes- 
leyan  game  hall,  antogiaplic(l  by  the  ca|)laiiis,  to  the  highest  war  bond 
bidder  between  the  halves  on  Nnvcinbcr  7.  The  Interfratemity  Council 
might  take  definite  .steps  Inwaiil  the  establishment  of  regular  weekly 
investnienl  plans  in  eaeli  of  llir  fraternities. 

IV — We  will  investigate  llie  advisability  of  further  em])hasis  on  the 
])hysical  training  prognm  al  Williams.  Increasing  P.  T.  jieriods  by 
half  an  hour  or  a  five-da\  I'.  T.  week  must  be  considered  as  distinct 
possibilities  for  the  near  fiiliiie. 

V — Till'.  Recohi)  will  eiiiiliiiiie  In  back  llie  C'ampus  Business  Manage- 
ment office  and  will  cniiliiinr  to  reeoinmeiul  strict  economy  wherever 
possible. 

VI — We  will  .sniiport  llir  res  ilali/,eil  undergraduate  governing  body  and 
will  advocate  student  rr|ires(iilatii)ii  at  faculty  meetings  of  mutual 
stuilent-faculty  concern. 

VII — We  will  back  any  rMlimial  plan  for  reorganizing  the  ])ublicity  set- 
up at  Williams  College. 

VIII — Wc  shall  eonliiHie  I  lie  now  traditional  fight  against  the  idiocies 
of  Hell  Week  and  the  fre.shman-sophomore  riot. 


SCRAP 


(Coiithuicd  from  ijage  1)

In  the  basinient  of  Hopkins  Hall  Bane 
and  Smith  found  a  four  and  a  half  ton 
boiler — equivalent  in  weight  to  an  arm\ 
whippet  tank— which  was  removed  to  the 
scrap  pile.  They  plan  to  ha\i'  two  fresh- 
men in  each  house  prowl  for  available 
scrap  in  attics  and  cellars  Monda\  and 
hope  members  of  the  Class  of  the  1946-0 
also  will  volunteer  as  helpers  in  the  search. 


Williams  in  wartime  has  begun  a  new 
semester,  the  third  since  the  shattiiinK 
attack  on  Pearl  Harbor  last  Deceiiibir 
And  during  the  past  eleven  hectic  inoMlhs 
of  almost  continuous  session  the  cnlhgi. 
has  iiiulergone  severo  stresses  which  liaM 
strained  some  of  Williams'  tradilion.d 
ideas  to  the  breaking  jjoint,  and  enos 
sitated  a  revaluation  of  tlios:'  ideas  in 
terms  of  larger  issues.  Old  coiuepts  lia\e 
been  tested  in  the  crucildc  of  modern  war 
and  in  some  instances  have  been  lounil 
wanting.  New  ideas  have  takon  tluir 
place. 

'this  process  of  change,  presased  o\  ei  a 
year  ago  by  the  aggressive  Williams  spirit 
of  pre-Pearl  Harbor  days,  is  at  bi»t  a 
dani;i-roiis  one.  At  Williams  it  has  been 
essejilially  sane,  but  the  job  is  by  no  means 
done.  We  must  not  fear  what  must  be. 
We  must  face  facts,  and  .ul  with  calm 
assurance,  born  of  careful  ivfk'Ctioii,  We 
must  not  oppose  change  and  elin^  to  the 
illusion  of  a  static  world.  We  must  em- 
brace intelligent  change  as  a  sure  sign  that 
we  are  no  longer  bogged  down  in  the  con- 
fused indecision  cliaricterislic  of  so  much 
of  .American  thought  in  the  past  decade. 


Largely  responsible  for  the  successful 
development  of  a  new  and  responsible 
attitude  of  mind  at  W'illionis,  for  the 
maintenance  of  academic  cquiiihrinm,  and 
for  laying  the  ground-work  of  Williams 
cooperation  in  the  war  effort,  has  been 
Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall,  acting 
president  of  the  college  for  the  past  fourtccit 
months.  .'Stepping  into  the  breach  when 
President  James  P.  Baxter,  III  '14  was 
called  to  Washington  in  August  of  1941, 
Professor  Newhall  has  done  a  fine  admin- 
istrative iob  during  some  of  the  most  trying 
months  in  the  history  of  the  college.  He 
deserves  the  gratitude  of  the  undergraduate 
body  and  of  all  who  are  interested  in  the 
welfare  of  Williams.  Now  that  President 
Baxter  is  back,  Professor  Nitwhall's  iob 
is  over.  But  we  shoidd  be  reaping  future 
dividends  from  his  work  of  the  past  year  for 
some  time  to  come. 


One  of  the  best  editorials  we  have  seen 
recently  in  a  college  iiewspa|)er  appeared 
Saturday,  October  .<  in  the  Daily  Prince- 
Ionian.  It  advocated  the  complete  de- 
mocratization of  I'lineeton's  entrance  re- 
quirements, which  now  exclutlo  negroes. 
Though  the  negro  proMcm  is  not  an  issue 
at  Williams,  the  discussion  now  raging  at 
Princeton  exemplifies  t,ic  urgent  need  for 
an  unceasing  battle  fnr  principles  on  the 
home  front  as  well  as  lor  a  milittiry  victory 
on  the  battle  front. 

The  war  is  no  excuse  for  Americans  to 
forget  the  pecan  pickers  in  San  Antonio, 
or  for  England  to  iiegleet  the  welfare  of  her 
millions  of  wards  in  Imlia,  blinded  by  the 
brilliance  of  what  Churchill  has  called 
"the  brightest  jewel  in  our  imperial 
crown,"  Before  our  cLiims  to  democratic 
humanitarianism  can  carry  much  con- 
viction to  the  other  peoples  of  the  world, 
we  must  set  our  own  house  in  order. 


Trivial,  yet  indicative  of  a  laxity  in 
attention  to  details  and  in  academic  dis- 
cipline, is  the  rather  notorious  dilatoriness  of 
certain  professors,  who,  when'fWK  Record 
went  to  press  last  night  had  failed  to  return 
the  marlis  of  those  who  enclosed  postcards 
in  their  exam  hooks  over  two  weeks  ago. 
Also  trivial,  but  nonetheless  annoying,  is 
the  practice  of  some  professors  in  keeping 
books  out  of  tite  library  for  months  at  a  lime. 


Rumors  circulating  to  the  effect  that  the 
Thanksgiving  vacation  will  be  extended  to 
include  Friday  and  Saturday,  November 
27  and  28,  were  denied  today  by  President 
H.axtor.  As  stated  in  the  official  college 
calendar,  the  only  holiday  will  he  on 
Thursday,  November  26,  Thanksgiving 
Day. 


Liltewise  unfounded  is  the  report  that 
the  War  Department  has  sent  requests  to 
all  colleges  asliing  them  to  close  tlwir  doors 
during  the  month  of  December,  so  that  stu- 
dent vacation  travel  will  not  interfere  with 
the  proposed  Christmas  leave  for  all  service 
men.  The  railroads,  however,  have  in  the 
past  requested  that  civilian  travel  be  planned, 
whenever  possible,  so  as  not  to  interfere  with 
the  transportation  of  men  in  the  armed 
forces.

Holy    Cross    Here    Soon 

Post-war  economic  planning,  the  Indian 
problem,  and  the  wartime  status  of  col- 
lective bargaining  represent  a  few  of  the 
problenis  which  the  Adcjphic  Union  will 
debate  as  it  heads  this  week  into  its  busiest 
season  in  years.  With  two  college  tourn- 
aments yet  to  be  completed,  and  with  a 
tentative  schedule  of  at  least  two  inter- 
collegiate tourneys,  two  round  table  dis- 
cussions, and  a  home-and-home  single 
debate  within  the  next  month,  the  Union 
is  urging  non-members  to  try  out  for  de- 
bates and  to  become  eligible  for  mem- 
bership if  they  participate.

Old  Textbooks  Sought 
For  Allied  WarCaptives 

Math,  Chem,  and  Physics 
Are      Favored      Subjects 

Sometime  within  the  next  week,  Wil- 
liams students  will  be  called  upon  to 
donate  old  textbooks  to  the  Williams 
Christian  Association,  Leonard  C.  Thomp- 
son '43,  president  of  the  WCA  announced 
yesterday.  These  books  will  be  sent  to 
Allied  war  prisoners  in  German  intern- 
ment camps,  where  the  .Nazis  have  allow- 
ed their  captives  to  set  up  temporary 
schools. 

Thompson  said  that  Alan  Booth,  gen- 
eral secretary  of  the  International  Stu- 
dents' Service,  inaugurated  this  plan. 
Booth  flew  to  tnis  country  from  England 
about  three  weeks  ago. 

Thompson  said  that  the  Iwioks  the  ISS 
wanted  most  were  those  ilraling  with 
chemistry,  physics,  and  mathematics. 
\t  first  the  books  will  be  donated  by 
voluntary  contributors.  If,  however,  this 
plan  fails  to  produce  desirtti  results,

Polar  Bears  Make  Stand, 
Falter  to  Lose,  19-0; 
Engineers  Drubbed,  52-0 

CrashiriK  thiouuli  lUiwcloin,  19-0,  and 
Clarkson,  52-0,  tlic  Willianis  varsity  foot- 
ball team  in  the  last  two  weeks  reached 
the  seasun's  half-way  mark  undefeated 
and  untied.  Playinj;  at  Williams  October 
10,  the  Kphmen  flattened  Clarkson  with 
l  the  second  team  taking  the  brunt  of  the 

play.  The  stubborn  Howdoin  Polar  Bears 
threatened  to  score  in  the  first  half  of  the 
i{ain(^  played  at  Brunswick,  October  1  7, 
but  linally  fell  victim  to  the  Purple  jug^er- 
nnut. 

Veterans  Three  Deep 
Running  up  an  average  of  thirty-three 
points  in  each  of  the  season's  four  games.  | 
the  Purple  powerhouse  has  chalked  up  1.31 
points  and  only  yielded  the  seven  points 
made  b\'  Princeton.  Bt-'cause  of  experience 
gained  in  the  Bowdoin  and  Clarkson 
games.  Coach  Charlie  Caldwell  now  has 
veteran  players  three  deep  in  every 
position. 

Coby  Wilson  recovered  a  fund.)le  on  the 
Bowdoin  live-yard  line  to  set-up  the  first 
Eph  touchdown  last  Saturday.  Bill 
Schmidt  went  around  right  end  for  the 
six-pointer  after  Zalior  had  plunged  to  the 
three-yard  marker. 

With  half  of  tile  third  period  gone, 
Gunner  Hayes  passed  thirty-si.\  yards  to 
Pat  lliggins,  who  took  the  ball  into  the  end 
zone  on  a  dead  run  for  the  second  Williams 
score.  Late  in  the  same  periotl  Hayes 
took  Heckler's  punt  on  the  Bowdoin 
forty-five,  faked  a  lateral,  and  chalked  up 
the  final  .score. 

21 -Yard  Loss 
After  being  stalled  during  the  llrst 
period,  the  Ephnien  eaiiie  back  in  the 
second  frame  as  Hayes  and  Orr  galloped 
through  the  Polar  Bear  line  on  successive 
plays  to  the  Bowdoin  six.  The  Purple  lost 
their  advantage  when  Schmidt  was 
thrown  for  a  twenty-one-yard  loss. 

With  two  first  clowns  on  the   Bowdoin 

six-yard  line   Williams    threatened   twice 

fji       more  in  the  second  period  but  could  not 

;^        advance  the  ball   to  the  diagonal  stripes. 

;•         Pat  Biggins  was  twice  caught  from  behind

Fifty  Men  Answer  Call 
For  Varsity  Swimming 

Ephmen    Open    Season    In 
December    Against    RPI 

Fifty  aspirants  to  varsit\  berths  on  the 
C(miing  season's  Purple  swimming  team 
responded  to  Coach  Bob  Muir's  initial 
call  for  candidates  Wednesday  afternoon 
at  4:00.  The  Williams  metmen  are  slated 
to  meet  R.P.I,  in  the  Lasell  Pool  early 
in  December,  and  Muir  plans  to  have  his 
charges  in  excellent  condition  for  the  open- 
ing contests. 

Early  Leads  Squad 
Muir  staled  that  although  it  was  too 
early  in  thesea.son  to  predict  what  kind  of 
a  team  Williams  will  have,  outstanding 
veterans  reporting  for  conditioning  in- 
cluded Captain  Donn  Early,  ace  sprinter, 
distance  man  l.en  Eattm,  diver  .W  See, 
breast  stroker  Hank  Hewetson.  and  back- 
strokers   Ross  Macd(mald  and  Gob   Mist. 

Standouts  of  last  winter's  top-notch 
freshman  squad  answering  the  first  call 
included  backstroker  Hick  Ralfnian  who 
holds  the  Lasell  Pool  freshman  record  time 
for  his  event.  Bill  Case,  winner  of  the 
Prince  and  the  Bowker  Cups  for  Willianis 
swimmers  last  winter;  and  breast-strokers 
Frank  Davies  and  Bill  McCord.  In 
addition,  a  host  of  upperclass  and  1946 
newcomers  were  on  hand  for  the  Wednes- 
day practice.

Fresh  Soccermen  Win 

Fast   J.    V.    Team    Victor, 
33-0,     as     Cobden    Stars 

With  the  varsity  football  .sc|uad  in 
Brunswick  last  Saturday  battling  a 
stubborn  Bowdoin  eleven,  two  Williams 
teams,  junior  varsity  football  and  fresh- 
man soccer,  remained  at  home  to  score 
notable  victories  over  Nichols  Junior 
College  and  R.  P.  I.,  respectively.  The 
jayvees  swamped  a  heavier  Nichols  eleven, 
33-0,  while  the  yearling  soccermen  rallied 
to    defeat      R.  P.  I.,  2-1. 

Flips  Pass  to  Leary 

Dick  Cobden  led  the  jayvees  to  their 
victory  going  over  for  two  touchdowns 
himself  and  (lipping  a  pass  to  Tom  l,rar\ 
for  a  third  score.  Dick  Pratt  scored  once 
and  senior  Jim  Drace  snagged  a  pass  and 
raced  over  for  the  final  touchilowii. 
iMillowing  a  Williams  score  early  in  the 
first  period  the  visitors  tightened  their 
defense,  nionientarily  holding  the  Purple. 
In  the  second  half,  however,  the  shifty 
jayvee  backs  broke  loose  again  to  net  two 
touchdowns  in  each  quarter. 

The  probable  starting  line-up  against 
Middlebury  has  Tom  Leary  and  Brooks 
Wood  at  ends,  and  Tom  Keirnan  and  Ken 
Case  at  tackles,  both  of  whom  have  pre- 
vious varsity  experience.  Nip  Mears  and 
Hank  Pennell  are  the  first  string  guards 
while  freshman  Johnnie  Cleveland  will  be 
in  at  center.  In  the  backfield  are  Dick 
Pratt,  Jim  Crawford,  Em  llerndon,  and 
Dick  Cobden. 

Came  from  Behind 

Behind  the  offensive  powir  of  Emmie 
Brown  and  Pat  Whiteley,  who  each  .scored 
one  goal,  and  the  steady  game  at  center 
played  by  Al  Rehbein,  the  freshman 
soccer  team  came  from  behind  to  down 
R.  P.  I.  in  the  second  half  of  their  game  on 
Cole  Field. 

.'\lt hough  playing  goixl  steady  ball 
thniiitjhout,  the  Williams  team  was  unable, 
iluring  the  first  half,  to  accusiom  itself  to 
the  peculiar  and  clever  ball  haiullingof  the 
Engineers.

Purple  Team  Ranked 
Fifteenth  in  East  By 
Lambert  Committee 


It  is  a  matter  of  record  that  the  Foot- 
ball A.  A.  of  Cnester,  England,  used  the 
head  of  a  Dane  for  its  first  football. 
Harvard  dignitaries  banned  football  from 
the  Yard  in  the  middle  of  the  nineteenth 
century  on  the  grounds  that  "It  is  silly  to 
haw  a  boxing  match  over  a  bag  of  wind." 
.Since  then  the  pigskin  struggle  has 
become  refined  to  a  game  of  many  compli- 
cations and  rules.  You  can  no  longer 
punch,  hold,  or  clip.  The  pile-on  and 
flying  tackles  of  not-so-long-ago  have 
been  ostracized. 

Spirit,  Wcif;ht  and  Speed 
But  gridsters  still  play  a  g-anie  that  is 
essentially  a  rough  and  tumble  exhibition 
of  physical  prowess.  Fighting  spirit, 
weight,  and  speed  advantages  are  counted 
among  the  major  factors  deciding  grid 
match. 

Smart  signal  calling  is  essential  to  get 
the  right  amount  of  beef  at  the  right  spot 
at  the  right  time,  (jgqd  coaching  is 
necessary  if  each  player  is  to  play  most 
effectively. 

Everyone  would  concede  that  these  are 
the  elements  decisive  to  the  outcome  of 
any  game.  Most  Williams  men  would 
contend  that  Charlie  C'aklwell's  squad  has 
combined  all  of  these  qualities  in  admirable 
proportions. 

Important  Component 
But  there  is  another  coniponont  in  the 
football  formula  that  is  not  so  commonly 
recognized.     It  is  particularly  evident  in  a 
small  college.     The  attitude  of  the  stu- 
dent body  plays  an  important  part  in  the 
win-loss  record  of  any  lootball  team.

With  one  regatta  already  in  its  wake, 
the  Williams  Yacht  Club  is  looking  for- 
ward to  two  or  three  more  meets  before 
the  fall  season  conies  to  a  close.  Opening 
its  schedule  in  a  pentagonal  meet  at  New 
Lond(m,  Conn.,  October  11,  the  Purple 
sailors  managed  to  capture  third  place 
behind  a  victorious  M.I.  T. 

The  Willianis  club  has  recently  been 
invited  to  the  sc'cond  annual  Erwin  H. 
Schnell  Trophy  Open  Inter-Collegiate 
Regatta  at  the  Charles  River  Basin 
November  1.  On  the  following  Sunday, 
yearling  yachtsmen  will  see  action  in

Soccer  Team  Tops 
Mass.  State  After 
Vacation  Defeats 

Flynt,  Brewer  Pace  Win; 
Springfield,  R.P.I.  Score 
Over     Bullock's     Eleven 

The  Williams  soccer  team  finally  caught 
fire  Wednesday  as  it  rallied  from  defeats 
by  Springfield  and  R.  P.  I.  to  trounce 
Mass.  State,  S-0,  at  Amherst.  Back  in 
the  regular  practice  routine  after  irregular 
workouts  during  exams  and  a  complete 
layolT  over  v.acation,  Ed  Bullock's  eleven 
completely  dominated  |)lay  as  the  State 
squad  threatened  only  in  the  second 
period. 

Flyiit  Nets  Three 

Henry  Flynt  and  Bill  Brewer  took  care 
of  all  the  scoring  with  Brewer  breaking  the 
ice  midway  in  the  first  period.  Flynt 
tallied  three  of  the  Purple  points,  getting 
one  in  the  second  period  and  two  In  the 
fourth.  Brewer's  other  goal  also  came  in 
the  big  fourth  quarter. 

CJordon  Cictsinger  starred  at  fullback, 
teaming |with  Captain  Larry  Thompson, 
halfback,  to  pace  a  coordinated  defense. 
Cory  Wickersham  stood  out  on  the  line. 

The  hooters  returned  from  \acation  a 
day  early  to  meet  R.  P.  I.  here  last  Satur- 
day and  were  outclassed,  4-0.  Well 
stocked  with  skilled  ball  handlers  from 
South  American  and  Mexican  ranks,  the 
R.  P.  1.  sciuad  played  aggressive  soccer 
and  backed  by  Schultz,  ace  goalie, 
squelched  the  Williams  attack.

Middlebury  Conquers 
Eph  Runners,  24  to  31 

Middlebury  athletic  teams  attained 
some  measure  of  revenge  for  the  utter 
rout  of  their  football  ell  \cii  at  the  hands  of 
the  Eph  .stiuad  alniosi  ,i  month  ago  when 
the  Blue  and  While  runners  vanquished 
Coach  Tony  Plaiisk\ 's  men  in  the  open- 
ing cross-country  niatcli  of  the  season  on 
October  9  by  a  score  of  24-31. 

Although  Coach  Plansky's  star  pacers, 
Dave  Brown  and  Maurie  Goodbody, 
captured  first  and  third  positions,  the 
Middlebury  runners  provetl  to  be  the  more 
powerful  unit,  taking  second,  fourth,  and 
fifth  slots  aiul  on  down  to  the  eighth  man. 
Bud  Hartnian  of  the  Eph  team.  Brown's 
time,  although  far  from  the  record,  was  a 
good  twenl\-one  minutes  and  thirt\-nine 
seconds. 

The  second  cross-count r\  match  takes 
place  tomorrow  noon  against  Vermont. 
The  freshman  runners,  their  first  meet  with

PRIME,  GUTHRIE 

(Continued  from  page  3) 

Shortly  after  his  graduation  from  Wil- 
liams in  I9.i7,  (Juthrie  began  to  teach  at 
l.ingnan.  By  the  time  war  had  broken 
out  between  the  Inited  Nations  and 
Japan,  the  university  had  been  removed  to 
Hong  Kong  from  othei  areas  already 
ile\astated  by  war.  When  Hong  Kong 
was  attacked  by  the  Japanese,  Guthrie 
immediately  joined  a  Home  (Juard  known 
as  the  "Hong  Kong  N'oluntcers."  He 
could  have  sought  safety  as  a  civilian,  but 
he  iireferred  to  take  his  chances  with  the 
British  troops. 

Ill  a  letter  to  the  Alumni  Office, 
Harold  C.  Kose,  :i  close  friend  of 
(julhrie's,  wrote,  "He  has  since  been,  as 
far  as  we  know,  interned  as  a  prisoner  of 
war  and  is  believed  still  to  lie  in  Hong 
Kong.  This  was  eiinfirnied  when  the 
Gripslwim  came  in  :ind  we  personally  talk- 
ed to  Guthrie's  ex-roonimale,  a  member  of 
the   Lingnan  staff." 

Even  after  the  seige  of  Hong  Kmig  was 
ended,  Guthrie  might  have  returned  to  the 
Inited  Stall's  in  civilian  status,  but  he 
chose  to  sta\  at  his  post.  B\-  refusing  to 
throw  asi<le  his  fighting  eiiniiimenl  and 
thus  again  becoming  :i  civilian,  Guthrie 
voluntarily  gave  up  his  clianee  to  return 
to   the   I'nited    Stales   on   the  Gripshobn.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  OCTOBER  23,  1942 


On  the  Sidelines 

(Continued  from  paKC  4) 
to  the  I'ost  Ofl'iii'  you  can  licar  Kpli  liupe- 
fuls  voice  such  plimscs  iis,  "unilofcatod 
team",  "beat  I'rincetou  again",  "crush 
Amherst."  It's  much  too  early  to  crow 
about  a  season  that  is  only  half  over. 
Tuiigli  SIkIjUiik  Ahead 

True,  Captain  C'oiirter's  ele\en  has 
played  some  remarkable  football,  but  it 
has  a  tough  schedule  still  on  its  hands. 
Its  chances  are  only  handicapped  by  over- 
confidence  that  saps  aggressiveness. 

If  those  in  the  ICph  stands  at  the  com- 
ing g.inies  sit  back  eonteiuedly  and  wait  for 
their  team  to  win,  they  are  themselves 
hindering  the  chances  of  a  spectacular 
fin.de  for  Williams  football. 

Wiiiniiif;  l.ikc  Weather 

Little  Three  games  never  have  been 
pushovers  regardless  of  the  odds.  Wit- 
ness Williams  victory  over  highly-favoretl 
Amherst  three  years  ago.  It  is  a  common 
axiom  that  l.ittle  Three  contests  are  as 
unpredictable  as   New    Kngland  weather. 

It's  going  to  take  lots  of  spirit  in  the 
student  body  as  well  as  a  good  football 
team  to  beat  the  J.'ffs.  Maybe  that 
margin  in  spirit  is  all  we'll  have  to  bank 
on.  Fielding  Simmons  has  been  scouting 
Amherst,  and  he  reports,  "It's  the  best 
■  team  they've  had  in  five  years." 
Jayvec  Fuotlmll 

The  jayvee  debut  on  Cole  Field  last 
Saturd.iy  showed  a  re-incarnated  Snively 
team.  Phoenix-like,  but  no  thing  of 
beauty,  the  juniors  rose  from  the  ashes 
of  the  old  freshman  team  to  crush  Nichols 
Junior  College.  We  hand  a  long  over-due 
boiuiuet  to  Whoops  Snively  and  his 
eleven  for  keeping  alive  the  traditions  of 
past  yearling  squads.        Bruce  McClellan

of  the  obstacle  course  and  an  explanation 
of  the  aims  of  the  Athletic  Department. 
Director  of  Admissions,  Ihomas  J.  Wood, 
'32  obliged  with  a  personal  demonstration 
of  the  obstacle  course,  covering  the  difficult 
run  in  fifty-eight  seconds. 

KiiHhiiig  EntlH  Tonight 

The  program  was  brought  to  a  close 
Sunday  with  an  afternoon  meeting  at 
which  Frank  R.  Thorns,  Jr.  '30,  college 
arbiter,  and  Alan  G.  James  '43,  under- 
graduate rushing  chairman,  explained  the 
workings  of  the  college  rushing  system, 
which  went  into  operation  Sunday  night. 
Rushing  is  to  continue  through  tonight, 
when  the  sub-preferential  and  preferential 
dates  will  be  held. 

Pledging  will  take  place  at  dinner  to- 
morrow night,  when  an  allotment  of  three 
men  will  enter  each  of  the  15  fraternity 
houses.  The  final  event  of  the  orientation 
session  was  the  tea  and  reception  for  the 
group  at  the  home  of  Presiilent  and  Mrs. 
Baxter  Sunday  afternoon.  Here  the 
members  were  given  the  opportunity  of 
meeting  college  officials  and  members  of 
the  faculty. 

The  addition  of  the  sixty-eight  October 
entrants  raises  the  total  of  the  freshman 
class  to  266  members,  surpassed  in  size 
only  by  the  class  of  1945,  which  had  284 
entrants  in  September,  1941.  The  largest 
delegation  of  1946-0  comes  from  New 
York  State,  which  sends  twenty-five  men. 
Massachusetts  boasts  of  eleven  entrants, 
while  Pennsylvania  and  New  Jersey  send 
seven  and  five,  respectively.  Thirteen  of 
the  new  freshmen  are  recei\ing  scholarship 
aid  from  the  college. 

SOCCER 

(Continued  from  paKi'  4) 
brilliant  offensive  game  for  the  visitors, 
running  up  three  goals.  Calero  scored  the 
first  goal  of  the  game  early  in  th'e  first 
period.  Dave  Thurston  and  (jetsinger 
were  the  Williams  standouts. 

Two  injuries  in  this  game  hit  the  Wil- 
liams squad  hard.  Larry  Smith,  sopho- 
more lineman,  broke  his  leg  and  w  ill  be  out 
for  the  remainder  of  the  season,  while 
Chink  Walker,  regular  fullback  also  up 
from  last  year's  freshman  team,  aggra- 
vated a  troublesome  charley-horse. 

Springfield  ran  up  a  3-2  count  to  down 
the  Ephmen  in  the  opener  just  before 
vacation.  F-aton  paced  last  year's  inter- 
collegiate champs  to  victory  with  two 
goals.  Trailing,  2-0,  at  the  half.  Brewer 
and  Smith  scored  for  Williams  in  quick 
succession  in  the  third  period.  But 
Springfield  came  right  back  in  the  same 
period  to  score  the  winning  goal.  Tom 
Hoover  liirned  in  the  defensive  highlight 
with  a  sensational  stop  of  a  Springfield 
goal  shot. 


RAMPANT  EPHS 

(Coininiu'd  from  pajic  4) 
after  taking  ground-gaining  laterals  from 
Schmidt  and  Haye.^. 

Nimble-Footed  Backs 

I'sing  the  second  team  players  for  all 
but  ten  minutes  of  the  game,  Caldwell  had 
little  difticulty  steering  his  team  to  the 
52-0  steamroller  win  over  Clarkson,  The 
Purple  scored  on  Clarkson  seven  pla\'s 
after  the  opening  kick-olT  and  went  on  to 
tally  at  least  once  in  every  period  as 
nimble-footed  Eph  backs  crossed  the 
double  line  almost  at  will. 

Bill  .Schmidt  ran  for  a  total  of  104  yards 
in  the  li\'e  times  he  handled  the  ball.  The 
Purple  covered  386  yards  of  Weston  Field 
grass,  rushing  for  a  total  of  nineteen  first 
downs.  Clarkson  was  held  to  one  first 
down  and  fifteen  yards  gained  rushing. 

When  the  varsity  eleven  took  over  at 
the  beginning  of  the  second  half,  the  Eph 
second  team  had  already  been  lead  to  tliree 
touchdowns  by  Red  Nichols  and  Bob 
Zabor 

Pat  Higgins  and  Bill  Schmidt  each 
broke  through  the  New  York  team  for 
touchdown  runs  two  minutes  after  they 
entered  the  game.  Four  plays  after 
Schmidt  had  run  back  a  punt  sixty-eight 
yards  for  a  tally,  Pat  Higgins  went  off- 
tackle  on  the  Clarkson  forty  and  scored 
standing  up  after  throwing  off  foui  would- 
be  tacklers. 

Nichols  Around  End 

Williams  scored  first  on  a  reverse  b\' 
Howie  .Vlanis  from  the  eighteen-yard  line, 
and  Nichols  passed  to  Freshman  Bill 
Shellenberger  for  the  second  tally.  Nichols- 
scored  around  the  visitors'  left  end  two 
minutes  before  the  half  and  chalked  up 
another  six-pointer  when  he  ran  nineteen 
yards  in  the  last  period. 

Bob  Zabor  scored  twice  in  the  last 
period  on  spinners  through  the  center  of 
the  line.  Still  looking  for  a  plncekicker 
Caklwell  tried  out  Schmidt  anil  Powers. 
Powers  converted  three  points  and 
Schmidt  one.

No.  1' 


Students  Petition 
Congress  to  Stop 
Delaying  Draft  Bill 

'Hell-Bent  for  Elections' 
Politics  Seen  in  Year's 
Training        Amendment 

hy  Peter  D.  Silverstone  '45 
Williams  approached  its  pre-Pearl 
Harbor  leadership  of  collegiate  opinion 
Sunday  night,  when  the  Adelphic  Union 
sent  a  petition  signed  by  over  400  under- 
graduates to  Congress  protesting  the  one- 
year  training  amendment  which  the 
Senate  recently  tacked  on  the  18-19  year 
old  draft  bill. 

Firmly  behind  the  draft  bill  as  such,  but 
irked  by  the  stubborness  of  "hell-bent  for 
election"  congressmen  who  have  delayed 
its  passage  and  obstructed  its  effectiveness, 
leaders  in  the  Adelphic  Union,  together 
with  other  interested  undergraduates  who 
will  be  directly  affected  by  the  measure, 
gathered  Sunday  night,  drew  up  the 
petition  and  an  accompanying  letter,  and 
then  canvassed  the  campus  for  signatures. 
The  petition,  with  300  signatures  affixed, 
and  the  letter  were  sent  immediately  to 
Hon.  Andrew  J.  May,  chairman  of  the 
House  military  affairs  committee,  whose 
group  must  pass  on  the  measure  before  it 
can  become  law.  A  second  letter  con- 
taining 111  additional  signatures  was  sent 
out  Monday. 

Moral  Strength 
Terming  the  petition  "a  most  encourag- 
ing sign  of  a  growing  political  awareness  of 
Williams  students,"  Prof.  Max  Lerner^ 
long  an  advocate  of  student  activity  as  an 
instrument  of  political  pressure,  called  the 
protest  "an  act  of  moral  strength." 

Pledging  full  support  to  the  18-19  year 
old  draft  bill,  but  urging  that  "military 
not  political  consideraticns  should  deter 
mine  the  extent  of  service  of  youths  under 
20,"  the  letter  which  accompanied  the 
petition  noted  that  "the  O'Daniel  amend- 
ment was  supported  by  many  of  the 
notorious  pre-war  isolationists  and  war- 
time obstructionists."  It  concluded  with 
the  stinging  challenge,  "Even  a  Congress 
'hell-bent  for  election'  must  do  its  share 
for  victory." 

Prominent  Press  CiivcraBe 
Transmitted  to  the  entire  eastern  sea- 
board by  the  Associated  Press,  the  story 
of  Williams'  petition  received  prominent 
coverage  in  the  New  York  Times,  the 
Boston  Herald,  and  the  Springfield 
Republican.  Declared  Frederic  S.  Nathan

U.C.  Names  Nov.  10 
For  New  Elections 

Juniors  Pick  Two  Men 
for  Executive  Posts ; 
Houseparty     Rules     Set 

First  elections  of  class  representatives 
lc>  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  new 
Student  Government  will  be  held  Tuesday, 
November  10,  the  Undergraduate  Council 
Elections  Committee  announced  following 
the  weekly  UC  meeting  last  Monday. 
At  that  time,  the  Class  of  1944  will  elect 
two  of  its  members  by  balloting  through 
the  houses  to  join  the  presidents  of  the 
three  lower  classes  and  the  president  of  the 
Interfraternity  Council  on  the  first  Execu- 
tive Committee. 

Two  Best  Qualified 

With  both  the  class  and  Interfraternity 
Council  presidents  already  members,  and 
hence  ineligible  for  election,  John  C. 
Fuller  '43,  chairman  of  the  UC  Elections 
Committee,  emphatically  stressed  that 
"the  members  of  the  Junior  Class  must 
elect  their  two  best  qualified  men,  men 
capable  of  initiative  and  leadership  who 
will  be  able  to  fulfil  the  important  task  of 
giving  the  new  student  government  a 
successful  start." 

No  Bands  Friday 

At  the  same  time,  Robert  B.  Kittredge 
'43,  President  of  the  Undergraduate 
Council,  announced  houseparty  plSfts  for 
Wesleyan  weekend,  November  6,  7,  8.

Woodward's  Jibes  Draw  Angered  Response 
From  Aroused  Alumni,  Undergraduate  Body 

In  a  verbal  blast  that  has  not  seen  a  counterpart  since  Boston's  Austen  Lake 
turned  the  heat  on  Williams  some  two  years  ago,  Stanley  Woodward,  Amherst- 
bred  sports  columnist  of  the  New  York  Herald  Trihtme,  devoted  over  a  column 
and  a  half  of  space  during  the  past  week  to  a  sound  thrashing  of  the  college,  basing 
his  argument  on  premises  that  found  Williams  men  fast  to  retaliate. 
Sam's  Salient  Facts 


Last  Thursday's  Tribune  started  the 
ball  rolling,  when  Woodward,  in  reply  to  a 
request  from  Francis  V.  V.  Adriaiice  '2.S 
for  more  publicity,  called  on  his  friend 
Sam,  bartender  at  the  Nassau  Tavern  in 
Princeton,  for  a  few  salient  facts  about  ihe 
school  in  the  Berkshires.  Friend  Sam,  lo 
the  ire  of  Williams  followers,  stated  that 
"no  such  flood  of  money  has  been  poured 
over  the  bar  of  his  hostelry  since  the  Wil- 
liams mob  was  in  town,"  and  went  on  to 
say  that  "they  must  have  more  dough  at 
Williams  than  they  do  at  Harvard,  Yale 
and  Princeton."  To  keep  the  information 
on  a  pecuniary  scale,  Woodward  then 
related  the  story  of  how  he  was  once  given 
a  "rubber"  check  by  a  Williams  man. 
From  these  assertions  arose  the  mael- 
strom of  counterattack  that  rated  a  full 
column  in  yesterday's  Tribune. 
Students  This  Year 

Woodward's  second  attack  on  this 
institution  contained  a  short  history  of 
Williams  and  its  relations  with  Amhersi 
and  numerous  quotations  from  the  man\ 


British  Navy  Chaplain 
To  Speak  in  Chapel 
Service  This  Sunday 


letters  and  telegrams  he  has  received 
during  the  past  week.  In  closing  his 
column,  he  asserted  that  "we  (Amherst) 
arc  playing  students  this  year",  and  so 
drew  the  conclusion  that  Williams  would 
win  the  annual  football  tilt.  Purple  fans 
were  left  in  the  dark  as  to  the  cryptic 
meaning  of  this  statement:  whether  he  was 
implying  the  subsidization  of  athletics  at 
Williams,  or  whether  he  was  asserting  that 
Amherst  has  in  past  years  supplied  its 
football  teams  with  non-students. 

Amherst  An  Offshoot 

He  related  the  story  of  the  founding  of 
Amherst  by  dissatisfied  Williams  men,  and 
quoted  the  Encyclopedia  Americana  in 
describing  his  Alma  Mater  as  "one  of  the 
Ijest  known  institutions  of  learning  in  the 
United  States."  Continuing  the  descrip- 
tions of  inter-college  relations.  Woodward 
stated  that  after  the  shock  of  Amherst's 
founding,  Williams  modeled  itself  closely 
after  the  lines  of  its  offshoot  and  conse- 
quently grew  to  its  present  stature.

Eight  teams  of  debaters  representing 
four  !vi<linK  eastern  c<!lleges  will  argue 
their  way  through  three  rounds  of  debates 
in  Grifiin  Hall  tomorrow  afternoon  in  an 
attempt  to  decide  whether  "The  Federal 
government  shall  establish  and  maintain 
a  planned  economy  after  the  war."  Two 
old  rivals  of  Williams,  Bowdoin  and

'43  Meeting  to   Elect 
Officers  Lacks  Quorum 

Seniors    Plan    Class    Gift; 
Name  Nov.  3  for  Voting 

Lack  of  a  quorum  at  a  Senior  Class 
meeting  last  night  forced  postponement  of 
the  election  of  permanent  class  officers 
until  Tuesda)',  November  3.  Comment- 
ing on  the  coming  meeting  John  C,  Fuller 
'43,  chairman  of  the  elections  committee, 
asserted  "the  entire  class  will  be  e-xpected 
to  turn  out  next  Tuesday,  and,  quorum  or 
no  quorum,  the  elections  will  be  held," 

Those  present  last  night  did,  however, 
decide  to  follow  the  precedent  set  by 
previous  classes  by  establishing  an  endow- 
ment life  insurance  plan  for  the  benefit  of 
the  college.  The  money  accumulated  b\' 
the  plan  will  be  turned  over  to  the  college 
in  the  form  of  a  gift  at  the  25th  reunion  of 
the  Class  of  1943.  In  past  years  this  sum 
has  ranged  up  to  $  20,000. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Edward  C. 
Brown,  Jr.  who  recently  left  college  to 
jom  the  Navy  Air  Force,  those  present 
chose  a  Senior  Class  committee  to  carry 
out  the  plan.  This  committee  expressed 
the  hope  that  all  members  who  were  not 
present  will  participate  in  the  endowment 
plan  which  will  go  into  effect  soon  after 
the  permanent  officers  are  elected  next 
Tuesday.  The  group  also  made  it  clear 
that  faiiiire  of  the  remainder  of  the  class  to 
participate  would  have  no  effect  on  the 
carrying  out  of  the  plan  selected.

by  Ch.'VRlie  HeueR  '45 

With  a  5-1  defeat  by  Amherst  already 
marring  its  Little  Three  record,  Wesleyan's 
soccer  squad  will  invade  Williamstown 
tomorrow  afternoon  to  provide  Williams' 
botters  with  their  iirst  Little  Three  test. 
The  game,  the  last  home  encounter  for  the 
Purple  this  fall,  will  be  played  at  1:00  on 
Cole  Field. 

Lost  to  Amherst,  Yale 

This  season's  Cardinal  offensive  com- 
binatiim  of  Dimes,  Cunningham,  Low, 
Ma\'  and  Loveland  has  led  the  way  in 
chalking  up  three  wins  to  date.  Brown, 
Connecticut,  and  Coast  Guard  have  bowed 
to  Coach  Hugh  McCurdy's  elevi'O,  with  a 
victory  over  a  team  of  British  sailors  and 
losses  to  Amherst  and  Yale  rounding  out 
the  1942  record. 

A  sophomore  goalie,  Roy  Zeigler,  has 
set  the  defensive  pace  for  the  W'esmen, 
along  with  Jim  Potter  and  Chuck  Crowell. 
Zeigler  has  made  consistently  good  saves 
in  the  five  college  games,  but  \'ale  and  the 
Jeffs  made  things  a  little  too  hot  in 
Wesle\an  territory.  Crowell  was  injured 
against  Yale,  but  will  probaldy  be  in  shape 
to  play.  If  not.  Bob  Walsh  will  take  over 
the  .starting  assignment.

The  Rev.  Launcelot  Fleming,  chaplain 
in  the  British  Iteyal  Navy,  will  preach  at 
the  regular  Sunday  afternoon  Vesper 
Services  this  week,  it  was  disclosed  yester- 
day. Fresh  from  the  battle-ridden  Med- 
iterranean area,  where  his  ship  was  badly 
damaged  in  the  Battle  of  Crete,  Mr. 
Fleming  will  replace  College  Chaplain  A. 
Grant  Noble  in  Sunday's  service. 

A  graduate  of  Rugby  and  Cambridge 
University,  Mr.  Fleming  came  to  America 
for  graduate  work  at  Yale  University, 
where  he  received  an  M.  S.  degree  in 
Geology.  Upon  his  return  to  England  he 
entered  the  ministry  and  was  appointed 
chaplain  of  Trinity  Hall,  Cambridge.  In 
1934  he  accompanied  the  British  Graham- 
land  Expedition  to  the  Antarctic  as  chap- 
lain and  geologist,  and  upon  his  return  was 
awarded  the  King's  Polar  Medal  for  having 
completed  the  longest  dog-sled  trip  ever 
made  by  man. 

For  the  past  two  years  he  has  been 
stationed  with  a  battleship  of  the  British 
Navy  carrying  a  complement  of  some  1200 
men.  Because  of  wartime  censorship  he 
is  not  allowed  to  reveal  the  name  of  his 
ship,  but  has  stated  that  it  was  active  in 
the  Mediterranean  engagement,  following 
which  it  made  its  way  to  America  by  way 
of  the  Suez  Canal  and  the  Cape  of  Good 
Hope. 

War  Relief  Committee 
Stages   Benefit  Dance 

Two    Orchestras    to     Play 
Tonight   in   Lasell    Gym 

The  Williamstown  Allied  War  Relief 
Committee  will  give  a  dance  in  Lasell  Gym 
tonight  for  the  benefit  of  Britain,  China, 
Greece,  the  Netherlands,  and  Russia.  The 
proceeds  from  the  dance  will  be  divided 
equally  among  these  five  nations,  it  was 
announced  this  week. 

Following  the  successful  procedure  of 
the  last  Allied  Relief  party  in  August,  two 
orchestras  will  be  on  hand  to  furnish  con- 
tinuous nnisie,  Baden  Lewis  and  his 
five-piece  group  will  play  square  dance 
melodies,  while  the  Purple  Knights  will 
offer  popular  numbers,  Joe  Face  of  Troy 
will  act  as  ealK-r  for  the  square  dances. 
Four  Diinecs  And  Chairmen 

This  dance  is  to  be  the  first  in  a  series  to 
aid  Allied  War  Relief,  Prof.  Orie  W.  Long, 
dance  chairman,  stated,  "The  Allied  War 
Relief  Conmiittee  is  composed  of  the  chair- 
men of  the  separate  committees  on  war 
relief  for  five  nations,"  said  Professor  Long, 
"We  plan  to  ha\e  at  least  four  more  of 
these  benefit  dances  in  the  course  of  the 
year  with  a  different  member  of  the  com- 
mittee as  chairman  each  time," 

"We  have  decided  that  a  dance  is  the 
best  channel  for  entertainment  in  behalf 
of  war  relief,"  Professor  Long  continued. 
It  offers  a  good  opportunity  for  the  college 
and  the  town  to  join  in  a  common  cause,

Japan's  Challenge 
Greater  Sacrifice^ 
Discipline  -  Baxter 

Condemns  Slangy,  Slovenly 
Speech,  Math  Defects; 
Closing  in    Feb.    Denied 

Calling  on  every  Williams  man  to  take 
up  the  Japanese  challenge  that  we  have 
"failed  to  develop  the  spirit  of  discipline 
and  the  spirit  of  self-sacrifice",  Pres, 
James  P,  Baxter,  III,  told  a  large  student 
congregation  in  the  Thompson  Memorial 
Chapel  Sunday  afternoon  "to  get  with  all 
the  will  in  you  and  the  help  we  can  give 
you,  all  the  physical,  educational,  and 
spiritual  preparation  you  can," 

Taking  as  his  text  the  parable  of  the 
talents.  Dr.  Baxter  emphasized  that  "it  is 
not  the  policy  of  the  faculty  and  the 
trustees  to  fold  up  the  col  lege  in  February; 
it  is  our  policy  to  oiler  it  to  the  armed 
forces  for  any  purjiosi'  w'hatever,"  if  we 
closed  up,  he  went  on,  "we  would  be  like 
the  man  who  put  his  talent  in  the  ground," 
Adjustment  Difficult 

"Slang,  slovenly  ways  of  speech,  lack  of 
mathematical  training",  he  strongly  con- 
demned "as  an  expression  of  the  absence, 
of  discipline,"  Our  practice  has  been  to 
do  nothing  that  was  not  a  "downhill  pull", 
and  because  of  this,  a  factor  that  the  laxity 
of  class  attendance  has  reinforced,  "men 
will  find  it  harder  to  adjust  themselves  to 
theser\ices," 

"Our  job  is  to  look  at  the  beam  in  our 
own  eye,"    Dr,  Baxter  declared,  and   on 
that  score  "we  have  done  a  wretched  job," 
Nation  Ahead  of  C^apitol  Hill 

On  the  matter  of  self-sacrifice,  Dr, 
Baxter  found  little  to  worry  about  in  the 
ranks  of  those  fighting  "the  forces  of  evil". 
On  the  contrary  "one  of  the  paradoxes  of 
the  situation  today  is  that  the  people  are 
so  far  more  ready  for  self-sacrifice  than  the 
leaders  on  Ca]iitol  1  lill  dri'ain  of," 

Scotching  the  rumor  that  "this  is  a  rich 
man's  war  anil  a  poor  man's  fight,"  Ur, 
Baxter  emphasized  that  all  will  come  out 
of  this  war  poorer,  that  is,  all  but  those 
below  the  level  of  subsistence.  That 
"this  is  an  old  man's  war  and  a  young 
man's  fight",  I^r,  Baxter  denied,  too, 
asserting  that  it  litis  been  forced  on  young 
and  old  alike.  "There  is  no  one  I  know  of 
that  would  not  rather  fight  himself  than 
have  his  children  fight,  and  if  there  is  one, 
I  don't  want  to  know  him." 

In  All  But  Spirit 

Because  this  is  the  greatest  war  in  the 
history   of    the    world,    li.>   asserted,    the 
government   has   been   forci^d    to  call   on

"The  Abdication  of  Responsibility" 

'I'lic  I'liitcd  States  cried  out  for  Iciuli'r.shij)  last  wcc-k.  In  Wash- 
iiif^lori  "the  aliilicatioii  of  rospoii.sibility"  tlmt  Moritz  J.  IJonn,  former 
cliiiiKcllDr  of  Munich  liiiviT.sity,  (lescril)O(l  as  the  great  failing  of  the 
Weimar  R(|)iil)lie  and  of  ilemocracy  evorywliere  ro.se  to  new  highs.  For 
tliis  week  a  ( 'oMf,'re,ss  "lieli-heiil  for  election"  haggled  over  beer  and  prosti- 
tutes near  Army  cam]).s  and  added  riders  to  obstruct  and  delay  the 
eighteen-  and  nineteen-year-old  draft  bill.  Thi.s  week  a  .second  front  for 
Ru.s.sia  .seeiiicd  .shelved  until  1913. 

Tresideiit  Kraiikliii  1).  l{<)o.sevelt  and  Chief  of  Staff  General  George  C. 
^Marshall  considered  tlie  ininiediate  passing  of  the  draft  bill  without 
restrictions  essential  to  the  United  Nations'  war  effort.  But  Congress 
had  gone  home  to  patch  it.s  fences;  Congress  had  abdicated  its  responsi- 
bility. The  men  on  Capitol  Hill  would  probably  act  ajter  the  elections, 
po.ssibly  too  little,  too  late. 

Wendell  L.  Willkie  in  Monday  night's  speech  quoted  "the  wisest 
man  in  China"  as  saying:  "When  the  aspiration  of  India  for  freedom  was 
))iit  asitle  to  some  future  date  it  was  no  Great  Britain  that  suffered  in 
public  esteem  in  the  Far  East.  It  was  the  United  Slates."  The  Far 
East  waited  and  expected  American  action,  but  none  was  forthcoming, 
for  we  had  abdicated  our  rcspon.sibility,  had  declared  India  England's 
problem. 

And  while  all  Asia  watched,  the  nation's  leaders  continued  to  speak 
of  a  second  front  in  vague  terms.  They  seemed  to  forget  necessity;  they 
looked  to  feasibility.  Hut  the  people  were  ready  to  make  sacrifices. 
"One  of  the  i)arailoxes  of  the  situation  today,"  said  rre.sident  James  P. 
Baxter,  111  in  his  chapel  address,  "is  that  the  people  are  so  far  more  ready 
for  self-sacrifice  than  the  leaders  on  Capitol  dream  of." 

Sunday  night  a  majority  of  the  students  of  Williams  (Allege  filed  a 
petition  with  the  llou.se  of  Representatives  favoring  tiie  eighteen-  ant 
nineteen-year-old  draft,  but  asking  the  defeat  of  Senator  O'Daniel's 
amendment.  The  students  who  signed  that  petition  include  many  who 
will  be  most  affected  by  the  lowering  of  the  draft  age.  They  want  to 
fight.  They  see,  as  only  Congress  does  not,  that  the  O'Daniel  amend 
nient  can  only  result  in  delaying  victory. 

We  ask  our  leaders  for  Icader.ship.  We  ask  them  for  a  resumption 
of  responsibility.  We  do  not  stand  with  Russia's  communism  or  Eng- 
land's imi)erialism,  but  we  do  believe  we  must  fight  with  and  for  the 
United  Nations,  not  alone  for  the  United  States.

ON  WILLIAMS 
IN   WARTIME 


=  HV   THE   KDITORS^ 


SexiTal  days  ago  there  came  to  the  <lesk 
of  the  editor  of  'I  IIERlCCORDa  letterfrom 
the  .American  Women  Against  Com- 
munism re(|uesting  this  paper  to  give 
prominent  publicity  to  a  speech  delivered 
in  Congress  liist  January  by  Hon.  Clare  !•.. 
I  loflnr.in.  Republican  representative  from 
Michigan.  Many  readers  of  The  RECORD 
may  remember  Mr.  Hoffman  as  the  author 
of  Mouse  Resolution  No.  42.'),  recommend- 
ing an  investigation  of  the  allegedly 
teasonable  activities  of  such  organizations 
as  Ckirence  K.   Streit's  Union   Now. 

Tlie\'  may  also  remember  that  Mr. 
HotTman's  resolution  was  supported  b\' 
invidious  |)ropaga.nda  and  vicious  personal 
slander  directed  against  such  supporters 
of  a  sane  approach  to  the  post-war  world 
peace  problem  as  Prof.  Frederick  I.. 
Schuman,  who  was  attacked  in  a  series  of 
circukirs,  replete  with  erroneous  cpiota- 
tioiis,  ;is  a  black  schemer  i.n  a  plot  to  set 
up  a  world  government. 

Hut  iipparcntly  the  American  Women 
Against  Communism  do  not  remember 
this  incident,  or  The  Record  editorial 
stand  regarding  it.  Otherwise  they  would 
not  have  asked  The  Recoru  to  give 
publicity  to  their  unsupported  ch:irge  that 
certain  unnamed  government  officials 
are  in  the  employ  of  the  Communist 
Party,  ami  are  taking  orders  from  Moscow. 
The  Record  stated  last  April  3  that  this 
sort  of  "stupid,  irresponsible,  information, 

is  neither  complete,  relevant,   nor  in- 

telligejvt.  This  is  the  prejudiced,  warped 
thinking  which  breeds  di.ssent  and  dis- 
cojitent  within  America."  Today  we  see 
no  reason  for  changing  th.it  judgment, 
and  the  only  kind  of  publieit\  we  propose 
to  gi\e  such  recommeiuhitions  is  to  say 
that  ihey  represent  a  threat  to  the  Ameri- 
can war  effort,  and  hence  to  a  United 
Nations  victory. 

"ihe  fact  that  the  United  .Slala,  is  forced 
tojifjil  on  tlte  side  of  Russia  dors  not  change 
for  a  moment  our  basic  opfiosilioti  to  Com- 
munism," says  another  circular  sent  out 
by  Ihe  American  Women  Against  Com- 
munism. They  are  right  in  insisting  on 
uncompromising  principles  for  winning 
ihe  u'ur.  Yet  they  themselves  are  destroying 
the  unity  essential  to  victory  by  their  dis- 
regard for  the  democratic  principle  of  fair 
and  open  argument.  Their  irwn  epithet, 
so  often  directed  against  the  bogey  of  Com- 
munism, may  be  turned  to  brand  them 
also  as  irresponsible  "enemies  within  our 
gates." 

For  six  days  at  the  beginning  of  the 
present  semester  Williams  social  units 
rushed  a  new  freshman  class  of  only  sixty- 
eight  men  in  the  appro\ed  candy  and  cider 
man,iier.  For  six  days  the  potential  values 
of  a  college  education  in  wartime  were 
pushed  into  the  background  while  the 
importance  of  superficialities  was  em- 
phasized. The  result  was  a  colossal  waste 
of  time,  energies,  and  money,  three  things 
which  today  are  precious.  Though  we 
usually  dislike  to  indulge  in  editorial 
post-mortems,  these  facts  do  signify  that 
Williams  men  ha\e  not  yet  begun  to 
practice  what  they  preach.  They  can 
sign  petitions,  yet  when  confronted  with  a 
concrete  opportunit\  to  cut  down  on 
unnecessary  spending,   they  do   nothing. 

At  least  sixty  pounds  of  scrap  metal  was 
stolen  from  the  pile  in  front  of  the  Deke 
house  some  time  diirinf^  the  past  week.  In 
peace  time  such  an  action  would  be  criminal. 
In  wartime  it  amounts  to  treason.  Al- 
though there  is  not  much  individual  Wil- 
liams students  can  do  to  apprehend  the 
culprit,  this  incident  should  act  as  an 
added  incentive  to  redouble  our  salvage 
efforts  in  order  not  lo  betray  our  fighting 
men  on  the  battlefield  with  desertion  on 
the  home  front. 

Stanley  Woodward's  comments  on  Wil- 
liams in  recent  issues  of  the  New  York 
Herald  Tribune,  whcisr  sports  pages  he 
adorns  with  a  daily  column,  have  suc- 
ceeded in  proving  nothing  except  that  Mr. 
Woodward's  sense  of  humor  is  rather  dis- 
torted. It  is  unfortunate  that  so  many 
Williams  supporters  Iku-c  taken  these 
rather  ludicrous  aliempts  at  humor 
seriously,  since  their  righteous  indignation 
can  have  little  effect  hut  to  encourage 
further  derogtitory  remarks. 

Herbert  Holden,  Jr.  '42,  who  reputedly 
"washed  out"  of  \->.  is  on  the  contrary, 
still  very  much  in  the  Navy  Air  Force. 
He  is  now  stationed  in  St.  Louis,  Mo., 
where  he  was  transferred  from  preliminary 
training  at  Chapel  Hill.  N.  C.

How  YOU  can  help  her 
speed  vital  war  calls 

WHEN  you're  about  to  telephone,  remember  that 
the  wires — especially  Long  Distance  circuits— are 
busier  than  ever  before,  with  war  calls.  We  can't  build 
new  equipment  to  carry  the  load  because  the  materials 
we  need  are  going  into  ships  and  planes  and  shells. 

Here's  how  you  can  help  to  keep  the  lines  open  for 
war  calls.  Unless  your  message  is  really  urgent,  please 
don't  use  Long  Distance  service.  But  if  you  must, 
please  make  your  calls  as  short  as  you  can. 

Thanks! — we  know  you'll  be  glad  to  help!

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY.  OCTOBER  30.  1942 


High-Scoring  Ephs 
Gun  for  Dutchmen 

Clash  with  Undefeated 
Union  at  Schenectady; 
Tufts      Swamped,      47-6 

with  a  record  of  scoring  better  than  a 
point  every  two  minutes  in  running  up  five 
crushing  victories,  unilefeated  Williams 
will  collide  with  unbowed  Union  at  2:00 
p.  m.  in  Schenectady  tomorrow.  The 
twenty-seventh  game  of  a  ri\tilry  started 
ill  1887  will  see  the  Purple  enter  the  fray  a 
heavy  favorite  after  grinding  Tufts  into 
the  ground,  47-6,  last  Saturday. 

In  tying  Trinity,  19-19,  nosing  out 
Middlebury,  14-1.3,  and  smashing  Hobart, 
Vermont,  and  RPI,  Coach  Art  Lawrence 
of  the  Schenectady  eleven  has  capitali?,ed 
on  the  rifle  passing  arm  of  his  ace  freshman 
fullback,  Hal  Enstice.  liniinwork  in 
surprise  aerial  plays  has  been  provided  by 
quarterback  Reggie  Carroll,  who  is  re- 
putedly the  smartest  signal  caller  at  Union 
in  recent  years. 

Slasiiing  EikIs 

The  strong  Carnet  line  has  been  a  major 
factor  in  the  Dutchmen's  unblemished 
record.  Anchored  on  two  slashing  defen- 
sive ends.  Cliff  Piatt  and  Johnny  Newton, 
the  Union  front  wall  held  \'ermont's  high 
scoring  LaPointe  to  one  touchdown. 

As  the  Purple  squad  for  the  first  time  in 
recent  years  made  a  readable  rating  in  the 
Associated  Press  sports  writers'  poll, 
Coach  Charley  Caldwell  put  his  men 
through  stiff  pass  defense  drills  all  this 
week.  With  Gunner  Hayes  back  in  play 
the  team  roster  is  complete  with  the 
doubtful  exception  of  (juarterback  Tom 
Powers. 

Although  halfback  Bill  Schmidt  has 
chalkeil  up  an  average  of  10.6  yanis  |)er 
carry  to  liilly  forty-three  points  and  rank 
fifth  in  scoring  among  eastern  backs, 
freshman  Pat  Miggins  is  not  far  benind  in 
competition  for  tlie  coni])anion  berth  to 
Gunner  Hayes.  Red  Nichols'  cagey  and 
often  brilliant  running  in  the  Tufts  game 
has  started  the  Union  scout  writing 
furiously  about  interchangeable  Eph  re-

Van  Deusen  '44  Heads 
WMS  for  Coining  Year 

Broadcast       of      Amherst 
Football   Game  Planned 

At  an  election  in  Jesup  Hall  yesterday, 
WMS  chose  L.  Marshall  \an  Deusen  '44 
to  head  the  network  for  the  nMiiiiig  year 
and  Edwin  Gasperini  '4,S  to  act  as 
secretary.  The  results  of  this  year's 
com|)etition  were  announced  at  the  same 
time,  with  the  appointment  ul  the  follow- 
ing officers:  Henry  E.  Niemilz  '44,  busi- 
ness manager;  Edwin  Clasperini  '4.S,  chief 
announcer;  and  Oliver  J.  Keller  '4.S,  pro- 
duction manager.  William  Walker  '45 
won  the  post  of  assistant  iirodiKiion  man- 
ager and  John  O.  Copley  '44  was  retained 
as  head  of  the  technical  deparmient. 
More  DivcrHity 

When  asked  about  policy  for  the  com- 
ing year.  Van  Deusen  declared:  "Wr  hope 
to  continue  the  fi,ne  work  of  Hob  liinman 
and  his  board.  Our  chief  emphnsis  will 
lie  on  diversity  of  programs,  and  \vi-  are 
planning  more  news,  forums,  classical  and 
jazz  music,  and  other  features  whirli  will 
appeal  to  a  wider  audience." 

Foremost  among  the  new  proposals  is 
a  proposed  broadcast  of  the  .XmluTst 
game  November  14.  The  new  prcsldont 
emphasized,  however,  that  at  ijresciii  the 
arrangements  have  not  been  cnniplned 
and  that  the  plans  are  only  tent;ili\>'. 
Kcbroadcast  Through  FiM 

"Many  technical  improvements  are  in 
sight,"  continued  Van  Deusen.  "We 
have  just  obtained  a  frequency  modula- 
tion receiver  and  will  put  it  into  opcralidii 
as  soon  as  possible.  With  this  appaniiiis, 
WMS  will  be  able  to  rebroadcast  niiisinil 
shows,  speeches,  and  news  so  that  tlie 
college  can  receive  them  free  from  static .' 

PETITION 

(Continued  from  pajje  1) 
'4,^,    retiring    president    of   the   Adelpliic 
Union,  "The  petition  is  important  because 
it  represents  the  opinion  of  those  who  will 
be  most  affected  by  the  measure." 

News  from  Washington  concerning  the 
bill  states  that  the  obstructionist  amend- 
ment has  delayed  passage  of  the  bill  until 
after  next  week's  election,  against  the 
wishes  of  President  Roosevelt  and  General 
Marshall.

saw  \'ividly  in  the  greatest  airfield  in

that  exemplified  llie  heroism  of  English- 
men who  had  i;i^'.'n  their  lives  in  another

Some  of  the  most  interesting,  and 
ccriainl>'  some  of  the  most  authoritative 
opinions  on  last  week's  Tufts-Willi;ims 
game  came  from  the  Tufts  |>layers  them- 
selves and  their  coach,  Lew  Manly.  They 
were  all  standing  in  the  Williamstown 
station  Saturday  night  waiting  for  their 
train,  when  Manly  asked  his  first-string 
end  what  he  thought  of  the  game. 

"Well,  I  can  say  I  never  saw  so  man>- 
clips  in  one  game  in  my  life,"  he  com- 
mented. "I  don't  mean  to  gripe.  I  just 
mean  those  guys  were  plii>'ing  for  every- 
thing, throwing  blocks  all  over  the  place, 
and  half  the  time  not  even  bothering  to  get 
in  front  of  us.  1  iie\er  saw  so  many  guys 
running  downfield  llirowiiig  blocks.  They 
weren't  trying  to  play  dirty,  because  that's 
the  cleanest,  hardest  ball  we've  played 
this  year." 

Kir.sl  or  I'lmrlh? 

"The  worst  thing  about  that  team,"  a 
short  guard  said,  "is  that  1  get  in  there  and 
can't  tell  the  difference  between  tile  first 
team  and  the  third  team.  I  play  the 
whole  game  and  can  hardly  see  in  the 
fourth  quarter,  and  new  guys  keep  coming 
into  the  game  to  play  agiunst  me.  One 
man  starts,  and  I  don't  even  get  used  to 
his  face,  and  bang,  they  got  a  new  fresh 
man  in  there!  And  before  I  know  it,  I'm 
playing  against  a  third-string  guard,  and 
he's  just  as  good  as  the  guy  who  started. 
Which  team  <lid  they  start  anyhow? 
Everybody  tells  me  it  was  the  second  team, 
but  1  can't  see  the  diOeience  in  them." 

Lew  Manly  himself,  at  a  dinner  in 
North  Adams  Monday  night  after  the 
game,  said,  "against  us  they  used  three 
teams  and  the  offensive  p;)wer  of  each  was 
equally  good." 

Penalties  unci  Spirit 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Tufts  had 
no  penalties  at  all  called  against  them,  but 
it  is  often  hard  to  tell  whether  this  is  a  sign 
of  lieads-up  football  or  a  tip-off  that  the 
team  lacks  drive  and  spirit.  Bernie 
Hierman,  on  the  eve  of  his  game  with 
Notre  Dame  two  weeks  ago,  was  quoted  as 
saying  he  was  worried  about  his  Iowa  Pre- 
Flight  team  because  they  had  had  pr:icti- 
cally  no  penalties  called  against  them,  anrl 
he  was  sure  they  didn't  have  enough  spirit 
and  drive.  Results  certainly  proved 
Bierman  right. 

Williams,  having  throttled  the  T- 
foniration  of  both  Tufts  and  Middlebury, 
once  again  has  proved  the  old  adage  that 
they  p;iy  off  on  the  men,  and  not  the 
system.  We  saw  the  Chicago  Bears  and 
their  crushing  T  on  display  in  Boston 
agaiii.st  the  handpicked  Army  All-Stars, 
and  it's  a  frightening  sight  to  see  men  like 
Stydahar,  Bray,  Turner,  I'ortmann,  and 
Artoe  clearing  the  way  for  :igitated  beef 
likeOsmanski,  Famiglietti,  and  Nolting. 
Stuck  at  Scrimmage 

.^nd  then  the  following  week  Middle- 
bury, with  virtually  the  same  formation, 
and  many  of  the  same  plays,  had  a  hard 
time  getting  their  backs  p;ist  the  line  of 
scrimmage.  Perhaps  a  lairiT  comparison 
would  be  between  Middlebur\-  and  Tufts, 
who  used  a  modified  T.  The  two-back 
was  often  standing  to  one  side  of  the 
center,  and  the  ball  was  gi\en  directly  to 
the  halfback.  At  other  times  the  (piarter- 
back  received  the  ball  on  a  direct  pass  from 
center,  and  during  Tufts'  one  concerted 
drive  from  their  own  forty  to  the  Williams' 
seventeen,  three  bucks  right  olT  guard  with 
Chicago  Bears  plays  helped  gain  the  43 
yards.

DANCE 

(Continued  from  page  I) 

The  sale  of  tickets  in  Williamstown  has 
been  quite  successful,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped 
that  the  undergraduates  will  respond  as 
well." 

Several  unique  features  characterize  the 
War  Relief  dance.  Twenty-five  members 
of  the  Massachusetts  State  Guard  will  act 
as  police  and  supervise  all  parking.  Inside 
the  gym  a  committee  will  be  prepared  to 
sell  war  stamps  to  all  dancers.  Finally, 
refreshments  will  be  served,  an  unusual 
feature  of  local  dances. 

All  tickets  cost  fifty  cents  and  may  be 
purchased  from  the  heads  of  the  houses 
and  the  Garfield  Club.  The  War  Relief 
Committee  hopes  that  students  will  be 
willing  to  buy  tickets  whether  they  will  be 
able  to  come  or  not.  The  dance  com- 
mences at  9:00  p.  m.  and  will  continue 
until  l;00a.  m.

serves. 

Stubborn  Tufts  held  the  half-time  score 
last  Saturday  to  14-6,  but  withered  as  the 
Purple  turned  on  the  heat  in  the  second 
half  to  run  up  four  touchdowns  in  six 
niiimtes.  Pat  Higgins,  Red  Nichols,  and 
Johnny  Bridgewater  more  than  filled  the 
slioes  of  absentee  speedster  Gunner  Hayes 
and  ailing  signal  caller,  Tom  Powers  in 
running  through  Jumbo  opposition  to  put 
the  final  score  at  47-6. 

Two  Touchdowns  I'roni  tlentcr 

Center  Jack  Glasgow  intercepted  two 
passes  and  ran  thirty  and  twenty  yards 
over  the  Jumfio  double  line  (sec  front 
pagecut)  to  tie  with  Hill  Schmidt  for  high 
scoring  honors.  Pat  Hingiiis  opened  the 
.scoring  with  his  six-point  arc  to  Bill 
.Schmidt  over  the  \'isitors'  goal  and  kept 
driving  to  mainspring  two  more  Eph 
touchdowns  and  tally  one  for  himself. 

Bob  Sherry  snagged  left -bander  Charlie 
h'ortin's  pass  from  a  fake  end  run  and 
loped  over  the  goal  standing  up  to  mark 
the  second  score  of  the  season  against  the 
Purple.  Heartened  Tufts  took  the  cue 
from  this  second  period  rally  and  drove  to 
the  Eph  seventeen,  but  were  stopped  when 
Bill  Schmidt  intercepted  in  the  Eph  end 
zone. 

Desperate  Dofi-nsc 

The  final  period  found  the  Caldwell 
machine  gummed  by  a  desperate  Tufts 
defense.  Three  long  runs  l)y  Bill  Schmidt, 
Johnny  Bridgewater,  and  Red  Nichols  put 
the  ball  inside  the  ten  yard  line.  The 
Jumbos  held  for  downs  each  time,  once 
within  the  two  yard  line,  but  were  finally 
scored  on  in  the  final  minutes  as  Jack 
(ilasgow  intercepted  and  six-pointetf  for 
the  second  time. 


JAYVEES 

(Continued  from  page  3) 
over  a  single  tally  which  was  matched  by 
the  Purple  when  Bill  Weiizel  scored  on  an 
end  run. 

Again  making  a  valiant  stab  at  victory, 
Middlebury  broke  loose  twice  in  the  fourth 
quarter  to  run  their  score  up  to  19  points, 
.but  the  Ephs  had  already  clinched  the 
game  with  Wenzel's  third-t)uarter  touch- 
down. 

The  Jayvees  take  on  S|)ringfield  College 
on  Cole  Field  tomorrow  afternoon  in  a 
game  which  should  be  tougher  than  the 
.Middlebury  contest  but  which  the  Jayvees 
are  expected  to  take  in  their  stride. 

The  yearling  harriers  took  a  decisive 
beating  at  the  hands  of  Mount  Hermon  on 
the  freshman  course  here  last  Saturday. 
Led  by  Newcomer  who  covered  the  2.1 
mile  course  in  11:58.5  the  visitors  triumph- 
ed 18-37.  Newcomer's  run  was  the  best 
freshman  time  on  the  course  in  the  last 
ten  years. 

Art  Catotti  led  the  Purple  runners  across 
the  finish  line  placing  third  behind  Burke 
of  Mount  Hermon.  Larry  Harris,  Phil 
Smith,  Byron  George,  and  Ted  Nierenberg 
were  the  next  of  the  Williams  men  across 
the  line,  taking  eighth  through  eleventh 
places  in  the  above  order. 

The  freshman  soccer  team  prepared  this 
week  for  its  tilt  with  Deerfield  at  2 :00  p.  m. 
on  Cole  Field.  The  team  is  much  im- 
proved this  week  according  to  Coach  Bob 
Muir.  Al  Rehbein  and  Roger  Jospe,  both 
out  for  some  time  with  injuries,  will  be 
back  in  the  line-uj). 

At  a  meeting  of  the  squad  yesterday 
afternoon  Emm>-  Brown  and  Pat  Whiteley 
were  named  co-iaptains  of  the  yearlings. 

Coach  Muir.  although  not  over-opto- 
mistic  feels  that,  supported  by  Jack 
Mitchell,  one  of  the  best  freshman  goalies 
Williams  has  had,  as  well  as  Pat  Whiteley 
at  halfback  and  Kmmy  Brown  at  left  wing, 
the  team  looks  stronger  and  has  a  full 
chance  of  downing  Deerfield.

Council  Meeting,  Class 
Elections   Next    Week 

New  Organizations  Take 
on      Governing      Duties 

Phe  new  student  government  consti- 
tution, ratified  September  24  by  the 
student  body,  «ill  become  effective  next 
week  with  the  first  meeting  of  the  Inter- 
fraternity  Council  Monday  night  and 
class  elections  of  three  members  of  the 
Executive  Conmiittee  on  Tuesday  and 
Thursday. 

At  its  initial  meeting,  the  Council,  com- 
posed of  the  sixteen  social  group  heads 
elected  this  week,  will  elect  a  president 
;md  a  secretary.  The  president  of  the 
SAC  and  the  cditor-in-chicf  of  The 
Record  are  ineligible  to  hold  the  presi- 
dency of  the  Council  and  to  represent  that 
group  on  the  Executive  Committee. 
Elect  Fresh  Leader 

The  Executive  Committee  will  meet  as 
soon  as  possible,  probably  Monday, 
November  16.  Besides  the  fraternity 
representative,  two  additional  junior  mem- 
bers and  a  freshman  class  president  have 
yet  to  be  elected.  John  Bridgewater.III 
'44  and  Arthur  I.  Vorys  '45,  presidents  of 
their  respective  classes,  are  automatically 
members.  The  first  Executive  Com- 
mittee will  not  include  any  senior  class 
representatives,  since  they  would  not  be 
able  to  serve  a  full  term  of  office. 

Tuesday  noon  the  juniors  will  vote  by 
liallot  through  the  houses  to  elect  two  of 
their  class  to  the  Committee.  The  fresh- 
men will  elect  a  class  president,  who  auto- 
matically serves  on  the  Executive  Com-

education  after  the  pnssage  of  the  lowered 
Selective  Draft  bill  and  a  resolution  to 
stress  intramur.il  athletics  to  relieve  the 
transportation  shortage  were  proposed 
last  week  by  the  Associatiim  of  American 
Colleges.  Present  at  the  special  Phila- 
delphia meeting  were  five  hundred  presi- 
dents and  (leans,  among  them  Williams' 
chief  executive  James  P.  Baxter,  III. 
Close  Down  Campuses 

Turning  their  attention  to  the  issues 
that  are  foreshadowed  by  the  18-19-year- 
old  draft  bill,  many  educators  reported 
that  unless  some  plan  was  adopted,  their 
campuses  might  he  forced  to  close  down. 

Official  estimates  received  from  451 
representative  universities,  colleges,  and 
technical  schools  in  all  parts  of  the  nation 
indicate  that  a  large  majority  have  de- 
creases of  five  to  fifty-eight  per  cent  in 
full-time  students  over  their  fall  enroll- 
ments last  year,  which  were  in  turn  neai  ly 
ten  per  cent  under  1940  figures. 
Large  Frosh  Classes 

Others  such  as  Harvard,  Princeton,  and 
Yale  have  only  managed  to  maintain 
undergraduate  numbers  by  the  admission 
of  unusually  large  freshman  classes. 
Williams'  enrollment  has  remained  sub- 
stantially unchanged,  less  students  having 
been  lost  at  the  end  of  the  last  semester 
than  after  the  same  period  in  the  previous 
year. 

The  plan  adopted  by  the  association 
and  proposed  to  the  consideration  of  the 
military  authorities  was  prepared  by  the 
committee  on  the  relations  of  higher 
education  to  the  Federal  government, 
appointed  by  the  American  Council  on 
Education,  and  headed  by  Dr.  Edmund 
E.  Day,  president  of  Cornell  University.

last  from  November  10  until  the  issue

by  the  editors  during  the   meeting. 


Gargoyle  Suggests 
Publicity  Revisions 

Recommends  Director 
with  Full-time  Helper 
to      Disseminate      News 

"To  advance  the  best  interests  of  the 
college  through  the  dissemination  of 
Williams  news,"  the  Undergraduate  Gar- 
goyle Society  h:is  recommended  to  the 
President  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  that 
a  publicity  office  be  set  up  with  complete 
facilities  for  the  use  of  a  half-time  director 
and  full-time  assistant.  The  vote  of  the 
society,  which  w;is  unanimous,  followed 
a  two  month  discussion  and  study. 
No  More  Than  2  Duties 

Gargoyle  also  recommended  that  the 
director  be  a  man  holding  a  position  on  the 
faculty  or  in  the  administration,  that  he 
have  no  more  than  these  two  duties  to 
fulfill,  and  further,  that  the  assistant  as 
his  secretary  have  complete  responsibility 
for  making  certain  that  the  business  of  the 
office  be  effectively  carried  out.  "We 
present  this,"  C.  Ciorham  Phillips  '43, 
president  of  Gargoyle,  declared,  "as  a 
proposal  which  will  he  vital  to  the  college 
at  the  end  of  the  war." 

Asserting  "The  nature  of  the  times 
makes  it  irnperative  the  name  of  the 
college  and  the  numerous  benefits  it  has  to 
offer  be  kept  constantly  before  the  nation 
as  a  whole,"  the  report  stated  that  the 
existence  of  articles  unfavorable  to  Wil- 
liams and  the  general  scarcity  of  news  in 
the  local  and  metropolitan  papers  neces- 
sitate some  action. 

Competition  Between  CollcgCH 

Citing  such  colleges  as  Amherst,  Lehigh, 
Dartmouth,  Hamilton,  and  Lafayette  as 
having  full-time  directors  of  publicity,  the 
society  expressed  the  feeling  that  since 
Williams  is  in  competition  with  these 
institutions  and  many  others  for  an  en- 
rollment of  high  calibre,  it  is  vital  to  the 
future  of  the  college  that  a  publicity  office 
be  created  which  can  do  the  job  ade- 
quately. 

The  resignation  of  James  MacO.  Burns, 
former  instructor  in  political  science, 
assistant  secretary  to  the  president,  and 
general  mant^er  of  college  publicity, 
offers,  the  report  states,  the  opportunity 
of  regenerating  the  system.  Mr.  Burns,

Purple  Favored  to  Down 
Visitors  for  First  Leg 
of    Little    Three    Series 

by  Britce  McCl.lJl.t.AN  '45 

Undefeated  Ephnicn  will  be  fighting  to 
break  the  traditiontil  Little  Three  upset 
hex  when  the\  meet  the  underdog  Car- 
dinals on  Weston  Field  at  2:30  p.  m.  to- 
morrow. Muscle-toning  drills  and  stren- 
uous practices  of  the  last  week  have 
gunned  the  Purple  squad  to  its  Princeton- 
busting  perfection  for  the  first  leg  of 
Potted  l\y  competition. 

h'resh  from  downing  scrappy  Union 
with  a  last  period  offensive  spurt.  Captain 
Courter's  gridmen  are  set  to  stand  off 
Wesleytm  efforts  to  settle  accounts  for  the 
40(1  and  25-0  drubbings  handed  out  by 
I'MO  and  1941  Williams  elevens.  An  Epii 
victory  would  be  the  twenty-ninth  in 
fift>  gtimes  played  since  the  series  began 
in  1881. 

Throiifih  the  Wringer 

The  Caldwellmen  enter  1942  Little 
Three  series  with  a  record  of  scoring  219 
points  to  average  36-5  points  each  game 
and  run  Middlebury,  Princeton,  Clarkson, 
Bow<loin,  Tufts,  and  Union  through  the 
wringer.  Hill  Schmiih's  (|nicksilver  run- 
ning has  tied  him  with  Rochester's  Jim 
Secrest  for  second  place  in  Eastern  intli- 
vidual  scoring  and  has  led  the  firebrand 
Purple  backs  in  piling  up  one  of  the  highest 
game  averages  in  the  country. 

With  an  eye  towards  the  strong  Jeff 
line  he  meets  next  Saturday,  Caklwell  has 
stressed  passing  offense  in  practices  this 
week.  Working  six  different  passers,  the 
home  coach  has  been  building  a  system 
that  promises  to  be  an  eye  opener  to- 
morrow, llaverford  scored  its  winning 
tallies  via  the  air  against  the  Wesmen,  and 
the  Connecticut  squad  will  have  to  move 
fast  to  keep  pace  with  the  stcpped-up  Eph 
aerials. 

Stumpede  of  I'olar  Hears 

The  inexperienced  Middletown  squad 
that  fizzled  in  o|)L>ning  losses  to  Coast 
Guard  and  Bowdoin  came  back  to  take 
Connecticut  and  Swarthmore  but  then 
was  squelched  by  linbowed  Amherst  and 
Haverford.  Comparing  Williams'  19-0 
win  over  Bowdoin  and  the  Polar  Bears' 
18-0  stampede  over  Wesleytin  gives  the 
Ephs  a  decided  thcoretictd  advantage. 

Since  that  game  at  Brunswick  the 
Cardinals  have  reportedly  come  a  long 
way.  The  serious  injury  of  four  key 
players,  including  Captain  Bert  Vander- 
clute,  during  the  Haverford  scrap  last 
week  endowed  Coach  Wes  Fessler  with  a 
brand  new  set  of  headaches.  He  lost  two 
starting  backs,  a  starting  tackle,  and  a

Fivi'  liiiiKlrcil  collcgf  |)rfsi(lent.s  including  Williams'  James  P. 
BaxliT,  III  proposed  h  |)laii  for  the  creation  of  an  Enlisted  Training 
Corps  ill  institiitions  of  liigher  learning  throughout  the  country  at  a 
special  meeting  of  the  Association  of  American  Colleges  last  week. 
(See  slory  on  page  I.)  The  old  "side-thcir-hrcad-is-huttered-on"  cries 
were  lieard  in  .some  (puu'ters,  hut  public  and  ue\vs])a|)ers  alike  generally 
greeted  the  proposal  for  what  it  was  —  a  clear  statement  of  where  the 
colleges  stand,  a  dear  statement  of  the  fact  that  colleges,  even  liberal 
arts  institutions,  have  something  practical  to  offer  a  nation  at  w-ar. 

The  colleges  await  a  similarly  clear  statement  telling  where  the  War 
Department  stands.

ENLISTED  CORPS 

(Continued  from  pane  tl 
and  C^)ast  Guard,  to  be  located  at  approv- 
ed institutions,  'the  corps  will  be  (jpen  to 
gradiiatij's  (if  high  .schools  and  others  of 
:e(|uiyaUaitj>  education,  17  years  or  over, 
who  i^ieet  cotmx-tilive  standards,  ba.sed 
on  .q\ii)ta.!i'  o£.  (Jie/iirmed  fmces.  Also 
recommended  was  the  |)lati  that  inducted 
men  from  Amiy  and  Navy  centers  be 
given  a  foiiftec'n'-woek  course  in  basic 
training  at  the  college  or  university, 
emphasis  tieing  iJaced  on  collegiate 
courses  such  as  math,  ph\sies,  and  other 
sciences. 

It  was  further  propo.sed  that  enlisted 
candidates  pursue  year-round  curricula, 
extending  four  semesters  in  length,  to  be 
agreed  upi  n  by  the  proper  nnlitary  and 
educational  aiahorities.  Further  special- 
ized or  prof,  ssienal  training  would  be 
assigned  after  the  passing  of  suitable 
teats.  Kniisted  men  wimid  receive  base 
pay  and  subsistence  while  attending 
college'. 

New  'Curricular  Concentration' 

'I'o  gear  the  program  closer  to  the  war 

effort,   a  new   "curricular   concentration" 

in  the  first  two  years  of  the  college  cour.se 

was  also  proposed.     Additional  emphasis 


will  be  placed  on  mat  hematics,  physics, 
chemistry,  foreign  languages,  physical 
fitness,  English,  and  .-Kmeiican  history, 
the  latter  to  include  reference  to  European 
events  and    the    present    world   situation. 

.As  assistance  in  relieving  the  transporta- 
tion shortage,  the  association  voted  to 
stress  intramural  over  intercollegiate  ath- 
letics. The  conclusion  of  each  season 
might  feature  a  cimtest  between  two 
neighboring  institutions,  it  was  suggested. 

X'oting  to  place  their  physical  plants, 
personnel,  and  other  resources  at  the 
service  of  the  nation,  the  delegates  further 
suggested  that  colleges  do  not  ask  for 
deferment  of  their  students  from  militar\- 
service,  but  urge  the  selection  of  men  for 
college  instruction  on  the  basis  of  demo- 
cratic e(|ualit\'  and  demonstrated  abilitx'.

F.  Myers,  chaii-nian  of  the  higher  educa- 
tion de|)aitment  <if  New  York  l'niversil\-, 
advocating  the  insertion  by  Congress  into

dents to  finish  theii  academic  year,  uas

The  college  d-.'liating  championship  was 
awarded  to  the  team  of  Thomas  S.  Walsh 
and  Frank  M.  Wozencraft  '44  last  Frida\-

Robert  I^.  X'iner  '43  and  Milton  I'rigoff 
'44  in  the  final  round  of  the  AII-("o||ege 
tournament. 

Debating  the  question,  "Resolved:  That 
The  federal  government  should  take  ad- 
ministrative action  to  allocate  resources 
and  the  factors  of  production,"  both  teams 
imide  use  of  the  Keynes  economic  theory, 
with  the  negative  side  gaining  the  advan- 
tag,'.  Judges  were  Alan  .S\veez\',  asso- 
ciate professor  of  economics;  ICugene  S. 
ICIise,  economics  instructor;  an<l  Fred  II.

Debaters'  Tournament.  I-;rnst  and  Nicr- 
cnberg will  argue  that  the  tiniteil  Nations 
should  form  a  federal  union,  while  Egan 
and  Royal  refute.  These  teams  will  engage 
MIT's  freshman  debaters  Friday  on  the 
same  topic  in  a  home-and-home  event,  one 
ilebate  of  which  will  be  held  in  ( .rilfin  Hall

Bowdoin's  debaters  walked  off  with  top 
honors  in  the  Adelphic  Union's  four- 
college  tournairiont  Saturday,  winning 
four  out  of  six  decisions.  Williams  and 
MPiddlebury,  by  winning  three  victories 
apiece,  tied  for  second  place,  while 
Swarthmore  dropped  four  decisions  to 
finish  last. 

Williams'  PrigofT  tied  with  Jack  Fahcy 
of  Bowdoin  for  top  speaking  honors,  and 
received  a  prize  of  war  staiups. 


ON  WILLIAMS 
IN  WARTIME 


,UV  TilK  KUITOltS^ 


Toiiight  luarks  the  official  opening  of 
another  "weekend  of  laughter"  in  Wil- 
liamstown.  While  free  men  are  dying  on 
the  world's  battlefronts  in  the  defense  of 
democracy,  Williams  plays.  But  tonight 
Williams  men  will  approach  this  third  w.ir- 
time  houseparty  soberer  and  wiser,  and 
their  playing  will,  as  a  consequence,  be 
more  meaningful.  For  the  privilege  to 
relax  ;ind  laugh  is  a  necessary  part  of 
democracy.  It  is  a  generous  luxury  un- 
known and  undreamed  of  in  totalitarian 
countries  where  the  symbol  of  the  grim 
god  of  greed  reigns  supreme.  It  is  a 
privilege  we  should  enjoy  actively,  not 
passively.  For  by  remembering  what  our 
freedom  means,  we  must  inevitabi)'  con- 
tribute to  a  stronger,  tougher  fighting 
morale,  because  we  realize  that  the  full 
life  is  at  once  man's  most  vital  incentive  to 
win  the  war,  and  also  his  liest  guarantee  of 
a  sound  and  just  peace. 


The  fads  of  the  encouraging  move  by  slu- 
ilcnls  and  faculty  to  establisli  a  blood  bank 
in  Willinmstown  are  told  in  a  story  on  page 
^.  'flir  slory  behind  this  action,  long  advo- 
cated by  I'm!  Record, istliefiirlher implied 
fad  that  Williams  men  are  not  only  be- 
coming alive  to  their  responsibilities,  bul  are 
now  .sufficiently  concerned  over  them  to 
initiate  constructive  steps  for  directly  aiding 
the  war  effort. 


This  column  has  been  severely  criticized 
for  the  allegedly  too-blunt  remiirks  printed 
last  week  concerning  the  failure  of  Wil- 
liams social  groups  to  cut  down  on  im- 
neeess-iry  spending  during  rushing.  One 
irate  fraternity  man  chargeil  t  hat  his  house 
had  economized,  an,l  that  even  if  other 
houses  had  not,  the  method  of  "hitting 
people  over  the  head  with  a  sledge- 
hammer" was  exactly  the  wrong  technitiue 
for  obtaining  reform.  We  answer  by 
saying  that  we  did  not  mean  to  imply  a 
blanket  indictment  of  all  houses,  but  that 
we  were  merely  pointing  out  a  general 
trend,  and  trying  to  fulfill  our  fimction  ;is 
a  clearing  house  for  editorial  opinion.  We 
are  glad  that  our  comments  last  week  did 
not  fall  on  de,af  ears,  but  rather  stinuilateil 
further  discussion.  We  certainly  never 
intended  to  hit  anyone  over  the  head  with 
;i  sledge-hammer,  and  the  voices  of  our 
critics  are  ample  testimony  that  we  have 
tiot  as  yet  knocked  aiu-one  out. 


//  //(('  problem  of  maintaining  an  ade- 
quately staffed  faculty  becomes  serious,  why 
not  investigate  the  possibility  of  inviting 
professors  recently  retired  to  return  to 
teaching? 


The  voters  of  the  second  Berkshire 
representative  district,  which  includes 
Williamstown,  expressed  their  opinion  on 
the  question  of  a  world  federation  in  no 
uncertain  terms  last  Tuesday  when  they 
voted  712  to  189  in  fa\-or  of  requesting  the 
President  and  Congress  to  call  a  conven- 
tion at  the  earliest  |)ossible  moment  for 
framing  a  world  go\ermnent.  The  refer- 
endum was  placed  on  the  ballot  by  petition 
in  thirty-nine  other  Massachusetts  dis- 
tricts, and  was  supported  by  Prof.  Fred- 
erick L.  Schuman  ;is  a  means  of  expressing 
|)tiblic  opinion  on  the  vital  question  of  the 
free  and  just  organization  of  the  post-war 
world. 


The  persistent  rumor  that  all  civilian 
railroad  travel  will  be  suspended  after 
December  15  in  order  to  facilitate  the  trans- 
portation of  service  men  on  Christmas  leave  I 
has  been  denied  by  the  local  office  of  the 
Boston  and  Maine  Railroad.  According 
to  an  announcement  yesterday  local  and 
national  service  will  be  unimpaired  by  the 
^Anticipated  heavy  troop  load. 


Phi  Beta  Kappa  Elects 

Four  Men  from  1943 

William  C.  Brewer,  Jr.,  John  T. 
Finkenstaedt,  John  F.  Morgan,  and 
Merwin  A.  Sheketoff  '4.3  were  elected 
to  the  Williams  chapter  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  last  week,  C.  Gorham  Phillips 
'43,  chairman-secretary  of  the  schol- 
iistic  society,  announced  Monday. 

These  four  men  swell  1943's  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  delegation  to  twelve, 
eight  scholars  having  been  elected 
last  June.  Phillips  revealed  that  the 
next  Phi  Beta  Kappa  elections  will 
talce  place  in  February,  when  men 
from  1944  and  1943  will  be  considered 
for  membership. 


Before  you  call  Long  Distance, 
please  ask  yourself: 

1 .  Is  it  really  necessary? 

2.  Will  it  interfere  with  war  calls  ? 


TELEPHONE  lines  —  especially  Long  Distance  circuits 
—are  crowded  as  never  before,  these  war  days.  Mate- 
rials to  build  new  lines  —  copper,  rubber,  nickel are 

needed  for  the  shooting  war.  So  we  must  get  the  most 
out  of  present  facilities. 

You  can  help  us  keep  the  wires  clear  for  vital  war  calls 
if  you  will  do  these  two  things:  (1)  Don't  call  Long  Dis- 
tance unless  it's  urgent;  (2)  Call  by  number  if  possible 
and  please  be  brief.  Thank  you!

May  Request  Blood 
Donors  Here  Soon 

Mrs.  Baxter,  Maulsby 
See  Possibilities  For 
Local    Red    Cross    Bank 

Ruceiit  evidences  of  an  eaKeriuss  on 
the  part  of  the  undergraduate  Ijudy  to 
do  something  imniediatelj'  constructive 
in  the  war  effort  have  led  a  small  grouii 
of  faculty  and  college  leaders  to  investi- 
gate the  possibilities  of  a  blood  bank  for 
Williamstown. 

Realizing  that  the  Kcd  Cross  has  been 
appealing  in  other  parts  of  the  state  and 
nation  (or  voluntary  dtmations  of  human 
blood,  Mrs.  James  Baxter,  III  and  Allen 
F.  Maulsby  '44  this  week  sent  inquiries 
to  Pittslield,  Albany,  and  Troy  to  deter- 
mine whether  Red  Cross  units  in  these 
cities  have  duplicated  the  work  done  in 
Boston  and  other  large  New  England 
communities, 

Use  Powdered  Blood 

The  general    appeal    for   human    blood 

is  based  on  the  fact  that  modern  warfare 

inflicts  new  wounds  which  must  be  treated 

on     the    spot     with     blood    transfusions.

The  Dean's  Office  this  week  announced 
that  John  E.  Wilson  '44  has  resigned 
from  college.  He  will  enter  farm  work  for 
the  duration. 


The  League  A  Intramural  stalemate  was 
broken  yesterday  as  the  Alpha  Delt  power- 
house copped  a  bitterly-contested,  5-4 
decision  from  UU  and  moved  into  the 
post-season  play-off  against  a  D.  Phi  eight 
which  finished  its  undefeated  conquest  of 
League  B  by  polishing  off  theiPhi  Gams, 
5-3.  hCmploying  a  devastating  spread 
formation,  the  Alpha  Delt  speedsters 
must  now  hurdle  the  D.  Phi^obstacle  in 
order  to  challejige  the  Amherst  touch 
football  champions  the  morning  of  Novem- 
ber 14.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  NOVEMBER  6.  1942 


Booters,  Harriers  Seek  Little  Three  Championships 


All-Important  Jeff 
Clash  Ends  Season 
for  Soccer  Team 

Volkmann's  Goal  Defeats 
Wesleyan,  1-0,  Setting 
Up  Championship  Game 

The  1942  Little  Three  soccer  title  will 
be  at  stake  at  Amherst  tomorrow  wlien 
an  imdefeated,  untied  Lord  Jeff  squad 
plays  host  to  Coach  Ed  Btllock's  rising 
Williams  hooters.  The  Eph  eleven  has 
scored  sliutout  wins  in  its  last  two  starts, 
tnpplins  Wesleyan,  1-0,  last  Saturday, 
but  Amherst  boasts  a  string  of  five 
straight,  including  wins  over  Dartmouth 
and  Yale  and  a  5-1  rout  of  the  Wesmen. 

Led  by  Co-Captains  Talc  Seelye  and 
Hed)  Gray,  the  Sabrinas  have  run  up  a 
total  of  twenty-five  points,  an  average  of 
five  per  game,  while  freshman  goalie 
Jack  Marintyre  has  allowed  a  total  of 
four  opposing  markers. 

Paced  by  9  liettermen 

Nine  lettermen  from  last  year's  un- 
beaten team  which  topped  Williams,  3-0, 
will  again  see  action.  Seelye,  Gray  and 
Stiles,  the  three  scorers  last  fall,  will  all 
start  tomorrow.  The  war-time  freshman 
cligiliiiity  ruling  has  given  Coach  Eli 
Marsh  six  yearlings,  thrc'e  of  whom  started 
at  \\esle\an  and  contributed  a  pair  of 
goals  to  the   winning;  total. 

Coach  Bullock  announced  that  nineteen 
Williams  players  will  make  the  trip  to 
Amherst,  with  the  .starting  lineup  prob- 
ably being  the  same  as  that  .vhich  began 
against  Wesleyan.  With  the  e.vception 
of  Larry  Smith,  sophomore  center  for- 
ward who  is  out  for  the  season  with  a 
broken  leg,  the  team  will  be  at  full  strength 
for  the  encounter.  Dave  Thurston,  on 
the  shelf  for  a  week  with  a  foot  injury, 
will  make  the  trip  and  should  be-  in  shape 
to  see  some  action. 

Nip-and-Tuck    Battle 

Dcnnie  Volkmann's  third  peiiod  goal 
provided  Williams'  margin  of  victory 
against  Wesleyan  on  Cole  Field  last 
.Saturday,  as  the  Purple  earned  its  first 
leg  on  the  Little  Three  crown.  It  was  a 
tight  game,  with  the  visiting  Wesmen 
dominating  the  offensive  play  for  the

Purple  Avalanche  in  Final  Period 
Smothers  Threatening  Union,  41-15 

Dutchmen  Score  on  Passes  and  Blocked  Kick 
As  Ephmen  Coast  on  Opening  Tallies 

After  feathering  its  nest  with  three  touchdowns  in  the  first  half  of  the  Union 
game  played  at  Schenectady  last  Saturday,  the  Eph  football  eleven  took  it  too 
easy  in  the  third  quarter  and  let  the  previously  undefeated  Dutchmen  pile 
up  fifteen  points.  Bob  Wallace's  interception  of  a  Garnet  pass  in  the  final  period 
started  the  Purple  avalanche  that  gave  Williams  three  tallies  in  the  last  five 
minutes  of   play  and  rolled   up  the  final  score  to  41-15. 

Purple  backs  steeplechased  past  block-^' 
flattened    Dutchmen    for    a   total   of    234 


yards  gained  on  rushing  plays  and  used 
Coach  Charlie  Caldwell's  hocus-pocus 
reverses  to  pile  up  a  high  total  yardage 
on  runbacks.  Flipping  ten  passes,  the 
Ephmen  completed  five  and  marked  up 
an  aerial  touchdown  as  Pat  Higgins  passed 
sixteen  yards  to  Johnny  Bridgewater  in 
the  second  (|uarter. 

Five  Aerials  Rebound 

Williams'  air-tight  line  gave  up  only 
twenty-eight  yards  to  repeated  Union 
ground  attempts  as  diminutive  guard 
Ralph  Renzi  burrowed  again  and  again 
into  the  Garnet  backfield.  The  Eph 
aerial  defense  was  charged  with  two  touch- 
down errors  but  had  five  interceptions 
on  I  he  credit  side  of  the  ledger. 

In  topping  by  two  points  the  total 
scoring  successes  of  five  previous  Eph 
oppcments.  Union's  quarterback  Reggie 
Carroll  capitalized  on  the  robot-passing 
of  freshman  ace  Hal  Enstice.  Right  end 
Jack  Newton  twice  snatched  Enstice 
aerials  and  crossed  the  double  line  into 
pay  dirt.

Unbeaten  Jayvees 
To  Meet  Amherst 

Freshman  Soccer  Squad 
Also  Tackles  Sabrinas 
After       Deerfield       Loss 

The  Purple  junior  varsity  football  and 
freshman  soccer  squads  will  tackle  the 
Amherst  teams  at  Amh<rst  Saturday  in 
their  final  games  of  the  season.  The 
jayvee  game,  originally  scheduled  for  Nov- 
ember 24,  was  advanced  to  this  weekend 
by  special  notice  Tuesday. 

The  football  squad  boasts  an  unde- 
feated, untied  season  of  tliree  victories  in 
games  against  Nichols  Junior  College, 
and  the  Middlebury  and  Springfield  jay- 
vees. The  team's  power  has  been  weak- 
ened, however,  by  the  loss  of  passer  Dick 
Cobden  and  several  others,  and  as  a  result 
only  twenty-one  men  are  expected  to  make 
the  trip. 

Regulars  in  Front  Wall 

Em  Hearndon,  Dick  Pratt,  and  Jim 
Crawford  will  spark  the  backfield  with 
reverse  plays  that  have  been  practised 
during  the  past  week.  The  front  wall  will 
include  regulars  Johnny  ('leveland,  Tom 
Leary,  Nip  Mears,  and  Hank  Pennell. 

Scoring  once  in  each  period  the  jayvees 
trounced  Springfield  College  here  last 
Saturday,  26-0.  Pratt  raced  around  end 
on  the  first  Williams  play  of  the  game  to 
score  the  initial  touchdown.  Cobden 's 
pass  to  Tom  Leary  accounted  for  a  score  in 
the  second  period  while  Jim  Crawford 
climaxed  a  down-the-field  march  in  the 
third  quarter  when  he  bucked  over  the 
line  for  the  third  touchdown. 

Boykin  Defensive  Star 

Cobden  again  scored  in  the  final  frame 
when  he  took  a  Springfield  punt  on  his 
own  35-yard  line  and  race  65  yards  for  the 
final  tally.  Springfield  never  got  its 
offense  started  as  the  defensive  play  of

PLUNKETT  STUDIO 

38  Spring  Street 
Tel.  196 


Just  twenty-five  years  ago  tomorrow, 
Williams  and  Wesleyan  met  in  their 
annual  game  in  much  the  same  atmosphere 
as  pervades  Williamstown  today.  The 
front  page  news  on  Sunday,  November  4, 
1917  told  of  the  continued  German  ad- 
vance into  Northern  Italy,  and  the  sports 
pages  worried  about  whether  major 
league  baseball  would  continue  during 
the  next  summer.  And  the  one  and 
only  Benny  Boynton  saved  the  day  for 
Williams  by  his  brilliant  play  in  the 
second  half,  helping  to  hold  a  strong 
Wesleyan  team  to  a  scoreless  tie.  The 
only  threat  of  the  game 
Dropkick  came     late    in     the     last 

from  the  35  quarter  when  Boynton 
tried  a  dropkick  from  the 
35-yard  line  which  fell  short.  Although 
dropkicking  is  an  art  which  has  virtually 
disappeared  since  1917,  tomorrow's  cir- 
cumstances for  the  fifty-first  meeting  of 
the  two  teams  seem  to  be  little  different 
from  what  they  were  twenty-five  years 
ago. 

The  name  Boynton  always  brings  a 
light  into  the  eyes  of  old  graduates  as 
they  recall  the  man  who  was  Ail-American 
r|uarterback  in  1919-20,  and  was  cim- 
sidered  one  of  the  gieatest  quarterbacks 
of  his  decade.  He  was  captain  of  both 
the  varsity  football  and  baseball  teams 
and  played  left  guard  on  the  starting 
basketball  lineup.  Boynton's  athletic  skill 
even  extended  into  Cabe  Prindle's  pool- 
room, where  he  was  as 
One-Man  adept  as  he  was  on  the 
Team  football  field.     After  being 

what  amounted  to  a  one- 
man  team  in  1917,  Boynton  left  college  to

Dave  Brown  Leads 
Distance  Runners 
On  Cardinal  Course 

Coach  Plansky  Depends 
on  Captain  to  Secure 
Individual  Honors  Today 

by  Ed  Block  '45 

Held  back  all  year  by  recurrent  hi; 
injuries  to  key  men,  the  cross  country 
team  will  be  out  today  to  salvage  tin- 
Little  Three  crown  from  an  otherwise 
mediocre  season.  Paced  by  Captain  Dave 
Brown,  the  jayvee  and  \';irsity  harrier: 
will  toe  the  starting  line  at  Wesleyan  at 
3:00  and  3:30  this  afternoon  for  the  hii; 
triangular  meets  of  the  year. 

On  the  basis  of  previous  performances 
and  the  nature  of  the  Wesleyan  coursi . 
Coach  Tony  Plansky  expects  Captaie 
Brown  to  capture  individual  scoring  honor,, 
and  give  the  varsity  squad  a  much-needed 
start  in  the  right  direction.  Brown  has 
been  the  one  redeeming  feature  in  three 
disheartening  meets,  placing  first  in  each 
easily  and  establishing  the  iron-man 
record  of  going  through  an  entire  season 
without  a  serious  tie-up.  In  practices. 
Brown  has  unofficially  broken  the  Wil- 
liams course  record. 

Void  Between  First,  Fifth 

Brown  will  lead  a  contingent  of  seven 
varsity  runners,  including  Maurie  Good- 
body,  Ed  Sheffield,  Paul  Heppes,  Bud 
Hartman,  Fran  Lathrop,  and  Larry 
Harris.  The  final  score  will  probably  rest 
on  whether  someone  will  be  able  to  fill  in 
the  void  that  has  cropped  up  in  other 
meets  between  first  and  fifth  places. 

The  most  serious  opposition  today  is 
expected  from  a  Wesleyan  squad  that  has 
lost  its  four  meets  with  Coast  Guard,  Yale, 
Tufts,  and  Springfield.  In  Captain  Bernie 
Giza ,  and  Dave  Robinson  theCardinals have

THE  WILLIAMS  RE(  OHl).  FRIDAY,  NOVKMIJKR  6.  1942 


Chalk  Talk 


'  :,  (Conllnucd  from  iia«L'4) 

join  the  Mariiu'  Air  Corps  as  a  KuniU'iy 

stTgcant. 

Real  proof  of  his  iihility  came  when  he 
returned  to  Will;anis  in  1919  and  was 
elected  football  caplain.  That  year  his 
team  scored  132  points  to  its  opponents' 
19,  and  ended  a  highly  successful  season 
with  a  decisive  30-0  victory  ovi-r  Anihersl. 
Speaking  of  this  team,  Bill  Corum  saiil 
in  his  column  on  January  II,  1941,  "Mosl 
football  fans  will  remember  Benny  Boyn- 
lon.  All  Williams  men  will.  Your  cor- 
respondent always  will.  For  in  the  first 
football  game  I  ever  saw  in  the  East,  this 
chunky  Texas  tornado  did  a  one-man  job 
that  was  (uily  a  little  short  of  mayhem  on 
a  Columbia  team  in  New  York  City.  He 
was  a  whale  of  a  player  in  anybody'  ssuit." 

Benny  Boynton  will  not  be  on  the  field 
tomorrow,  but  there  will  be  plenty  of 
men  worth  watching,  some  of  the  best  ef 
whom  the  three  hundred  fifty-seven  are 
apt  to  neglect.  For  instance,  try  keeping 
an  eye  particularly  on  the  men  in  front 
of  the  ball  carrier,  hecause  these  are  the 
boys  they  really  pay  off  on.  Watch  the 
line  drop  back  on  kick- 
Watch  the  offsaiul  punts  to  give  the 
Interference  .iafely  man  real  protec- 
tion. Walch  the  men 
laying  down  field  blocks,  especially  the 
right  end,  whose  particular  job  this  is. 
Notice  the  weakside  guard  and  the  out- 
side tackle  often  pulling  out  on  running 
plays  to  lead  the  interference,  and  see 
how  the  bad  carriiTS,  especially  I  laves, 
Schmidt,  and  Nichols,  set  up  blocks  on 
the  opposing  secondary  by  feinling  the 
Wesleyan  man  into  position  so  that  ihe  i 
inti'rfei-enci'  can  get  a  good  angle  on  liini.  i 

One  of  the  surest  signs  of  a  really  firsl- 
class  football  team  is   its  ability  to  send 
men  downfield  to  clear  out  the  secondary,  ] 
after  primary  blocks  have  been  thrown,  i 
In  the  advanced  stages  of  the  training  of  ! 
Colonel  Bob  Ne\  land's  sen.sational  Army 
All-Star  team,  every  man  was  fined  who 
did  not  get  up  after  delivering  his  initial 
bh)ck   and    at    U'ast   try   to    eliminate   a 
backer-up.     Watch  for  this  in  the   game 
tomorrow.      The  si/e  of  the  final  score  will 
certainly  depend  to  a  large  extent  upon  it.

The  yearling  socc-r  team  faces  the 
Andierst  junior  varsity  hooters  at  Amherst 
tomorrow  afternoon.  The  freshmen  enter 
the  contest  with  a  record  of  one  win  and 
one  defeat,  but  with  their  constant  im 
provement  throughout  the  season  coupled 
with  excellent  spirit  the  team  has  a  good 
chance  for  victory,  according  to  Coach 
Hob  Muir. 

On  the  basis  of  comparative  scores 
Williants  has  a  slight  edge.  The  liphmen 
held  IJeerfield  to  a  2-0  score  on  Cole  Field 
last  .Saturday  while  Deerfield  has  trounced 
Amherst.  Fullbacks  Tom  Hyndman  and 
Don  Stone,  aided  by  the  able  goal  play  of 
Jack  Mitchell,  averted  many  scoring 
threats.  Co-captain  Whiteley  at  center 
half  also  showed  up  well  again.sl  the  Crcen

spectacled  man  leading  by  means  of  a  leash  elc'ven  swart  huskies.  They  wear  overalls, 
and  on  their  heads  are  miners'  lights.  After  much  shouting  of  commands  by  the  man 
wearing  the  bifocals,  (Men  won't  complete  passes  for  a  coach  who  wears  glasses)  he 
makes  himself  understood,  and  they  are  seated  at  a  table,  and  the  coach  orders  110

set  the  pace.  The  sophomore  goalie

Split  Two  Decisions 

The  Amherst  harriers,  also  bolstered 
ci)]i.siilerai>ly  by  a  freshman  delegation, 
have  hniken  even  on  the  season,  beating 
Mass.  State  and  losing  badly  to  the  strong 
Coast  C.uard  s(|iia(l.  Captain  johnny 
\'aleniine  and  Ted  .Anderson  will  be  the 
men  to  watch  from  the  Lord  JelT  team. 

l''roni  the  Williams  point  of  view,  the 
season  thus  far  has  been  a  disappointing 
one.  .\n  e|)idemic  of  shin  splints,  pulled 
tendons,  and  twisted  ankles  figured  prom- 
inently in  the  three  defeats  pinned  on  the 
home  forces  by  .Middlebury,  \ermont,  and 
Cnion.  The  first  two  meets,  lost  by 
identical  24-.^l  scores,  were  run  over  the 
loc.d  course,  a  distinct  advantage  on 
which  the  Ephmen  di<l  not  capitalize.  The 
final  shellacking,  administered  at  Schenec- 
tady, saw  the  ['iirple  severely  handicapped 
by  the  hard  surface  pavement  of  most  of 
the  I'nion  course. 

The  junior  varsity  outfit  is  more  or  less 
of  an  unknown  quantity,  since  most  of  the 
season  has  been  spent  running  longer 
routes  than  the  two-mile  jayseo  course  at 
Wesleyan.  Ray  Ashley,  Bill  Snyder,  Ted 
McKarland,  Paul  Agnew,  Art  Catotti,  Ted 
Murphy  and  Byron  George  will  be  the 
jayvee  starters. 


(Continued  from  paac  3) 
This  has  been  accomplished  in  Hrilain 
l)N  the  develo|)inent  of  a  techni<|ue  for 
powdering  blood  and  shipping  great 
tiuantilies  of  it  in  dry  form  to  the  battle- 
fields where  it  is  usable  when  mixed  wilh 
hot  water.  It  is  a  known  fact  that  the 
use  of  such  transported  blood  saved  many- 
lives  on  liataan. 

Blood  donors'  leagues  have  grown  up 
thrimghoul  America  and  il  is  believed 
that  such  a  projecl  could  be  undertaken 
in  Williamslown  if  the  demand  weie  great 
encmgh.  .'\l  preseiU,  hospitals  have  been 
paving  fees  for  ri-gular  donations  of 
blood,  but  the  Red  Cross  is  conducting 
a  voluntary  campaign.  I'nder  the  pro- 
posed plan,  a  Ued  Cross  unit  would  spend 
a  week  in  Williamstown  at  specified 
intervals,  at  which  time  an  expected 
three  to  five  hundred  subscrihers  would 
give  their  blood  under  the  supervisi(m 
of  a  doctor  and  a  trained  nurse,  or  two 
trained   nurses. 

"If  we  could  not  get  a  permanent 
blood  receiving  station  here,"  Mrs. 
Baxter  declared  "perhaps  we  could 
arrange  for  one  of  the  motorized  blood 
banks  to  stop  in  town  regularly  to  receive 
donations."  Mrs.  Baxter  was  referring 
to  the  motorized  cavalcades  of  specialists 
which  tour  the  suburbs  of  such  large 
cities  as  Chicago  in  collecting  donations.

are  running  to  and  frn  but  mostly  fro,  toting  llieir  human  cargoes  away  from  the  melee. 
Our  sophomore  looks  on  all  the  time  with  incnasing  disdain  —  his  eyebrows  arch,  his 
nostrils  begin  to  dilate,  his  fury  abates  oidy  long  enough  to  allow  him  to  blurt  out  an- 
other reciuest  for  a  "Rutli-Tutti  Fin  Sling  wilh  plenty  of  Agnew." 

Slowb  ,  almost  imperceptibly,  the  tumult  and  the  shouting  die,  the  undergraduates 
and  iheir  footmen  depart.  The  last  to  go  turns  back  with  his  hand  on  the  doorknob, 
and  f<ir  the  first  time  addresses  the  figure  at  the  other  end  of  the  bar.  ■■^'ou've  got  less 
hair  than  \iiur  picture  has." 


Williams   Leads   Draft 
Rider    Protest  Action 

Thirty       Colleges       Asked 
to      Petition       Congress 

With  events  in  Wash-ngton  threatening 
acceptance  by  the  House  of  Representa- 
tives (if  the  Senate's  amen<lment  to  the 
new  draft  bill  re(|uiring  one  xear's  training 
for  18-l''\car-olds  prior  to  active  service, 
live  undergraduate  leaders  Monday  nighl 
asked  thirty  leading  eastern  colleges  to 
follow  Williams'  example  and  petition 
Washington  for  the  defeat  of  the  rider.        j 

Hearlened  by  the  reply  of  .Senator  Alben  ] 
W.  Barkle\-,  Senate  majority  leader,  lo  the  | 
petition  signed  by  400  undergraduales  and  | 
sent  by  the  Adelphic  I'nion  last  week,  tin- 
student   representatives   sought    to    unili' 
collegiale   opinion    firmly   against   further 
delays  on  the  draft  bill.     Senator  Harkley 
wrote,  "1  deeply  appreciate  and  cinnniend 
the    allilude   taken    by    the   studeius   of 
Williams  College." 

The  message,  sent  to  such  college's  as 
Andierst,  Dartmouth,  Harvard,  Princeton, 
Wesle\an,  Yale,  and  twenty-four  others, 
asked,  "Will  you  join  other  eastern  col- 
leges in. ..asserting  that  American  >iuuh  is 
willing  lo  serve  unconditionalb  and  does 
not  wani  to  he  tied  to  Congress'  apron

Orr  plungetl  off-tackle  after  Pal  Higgins 
and  Bill  .Schmidt  hail  sparked  a  fifty- 
yard  march.  Schmidt  flashed  fifty-five 
yards  on  a  punt  return  for  the  second  goal 
and  was  soon  matched  by  Johnny  Bridge- 
water,  who  snagged  I'at  Higgins'  pass  and 
carried  it  over  the  double  slripe  to  put 
the  half-lime  score  at  21-7. 

Ruffled  by  undue  cheering  that  ilis- 
torted  signals.  Captain  Bill  Courier's 
squad  hogged  ilown  to  a  disappointing 
lliird  i|uarter  and  bareh'  managed  to  stay- 
on  even  terms  with  the  Dutchmen.  Air 
su|)eriority  threatened  to  give  I'nion  the 
decision  as  the  Garnet  sUibbornly  forced 
their  way  into  the  Pur|)le  half  of  the  field. 
Piatt  Breaks  Through 

ClilT  Plait  pushed  through  in  the  open- 
ing minutes  of  the  fourth  quarter  to  block 
Bill  Schmidt's  kick  from  the  end  zone 
and  notch  two  points  for  I'nion.  Shortly 
afterwards  Enstice  found  his  way  to  the 
Eph  diagonals  via  the  air. 

Stung  into  action  the  Purple  founti 
themselves  and  nearly  doubled  their 
score  in  the  remaining  five  minutes  of  the 
game.  Hours  of  practice  bore  fruit  as 
Bob  Wallace  reversed  to  Gunner  lla\es 
after  a  pass  interception  on  the  Williams 
thirty-seven  and  Ha\es  reached  the  Inion 
nine  before  being  spilled.  Bob  Zahor 
pushed  through  !nr  ihe  t;ill\  on  his  third 
plunge. 

Hayes  went  forl>-lwo  yards  olT-lackle 
to  score  again  after  Williams  lot)k  litle 
to  the  ball  in  midfield,  and  Schmidt  went 
over  for  the  sirimd  time  when  he  look

War  Under -Secretary 
Hails  Protest  Action 
As  'Great  Assistance' 

In  a  letter  sent  Tuesday  to  ('.  (lorham 
rhillips  '4.^,  (largoyle  president,  Under 
Secrctary  of  War  Robert  P.  Patterson 
lauded  "the  splendid  example  of  Williams 
College"  in  leading  the  protest  movement 
against  the  year's  training  anicMidment 
which  the  Senate  attempted  to  aitach  t(i 
the  18-19  year  old  draft  bill. 

Spurred  on  by  the  recjuesl  of  fi\c  W'il- 
lianis  undergraduates,  se\eral  colleges, 
including  Amherst,  Dartmcjulh,  and 
Princeton,  this  week  petitioned  Congress 
to  kill  the  restrictive  amendnienl.  The 
action  thus  foHowed  the  example  of  the 
Williams  petition,  originated  by  Mcrwin 
A.  Sheketoff  '43  and  signed  by  over  four 
hundred  undergraduates  two  weeks  ago, 
Patlerscjn's  letter  follows; 

"President  liaxter  sent  me  a  cony  of  ihe 
telegram  which  you  and  your  fellow  siu- 
dents  sent  to  other  colleges  urging  ihe  j 
rejection  of  the  O'Daniel  aniendm "nt. 
The  splendid  example  of  Williams  Cullrijc 
was  followed  by  other  colleges  and  wa..  of 
very  great  assistance.  It  demonstminl 
that  those  most  affected  were  reailx  i!i

Ephs  Square  Off  for  Amherst 
After  31-6  Cardinal  Knockout 


Wesmen  Fall  Before 
Break-Away  Offense, 
Downfield  Blocking 

Schmidt    Tallies   Four 

Bill  Schmidt  romped  to  pay  dirt  four 
times  and  set  up  a  fifth  tally  with  a  long 
end  run  in  sparking  the  Eph  eleven  to  a 
31-6  trouncing  over  Wesleyan  in  the  game 
played  last  Saturday  on  Weston  Field. 
In  marking  up  their  seventh  decisive  win 
of  the  season  to  remain  undefeated  and 
untied,  the  Williams  team  scored  on  break- 
awa\s  but  did  not  unleash  any  impressive 
offensive  power  against  the  heavy  Card- 
inal line. 

Disastrous   Punt 

Schmidt's  touchdown  runback  of  the 
first  Wesleyan  punt  gave  the  visitors  an 
unpleasant  six-point  jolt  that  was  re- 
Ideated  in  the  second  jjeriod  when  he 
returned  from  his  own  twenty-five  to 
reach  the  Wes  diagonals  behind  deadly 
Eph  interference.  A  box-car  hole  over 
right  tackle  gave  the  elusive  halfback  a 
chance  to  pick  his  wa\  to  a  third  period 
tally,  and  Hayes'  thiriy-four  yard  pass 
carried  him  over  the  goal  in  the  fourth 
frame. 

The  Cardinal  scored  in  the  first  Canto 
when  Sadowski  threw  a  pass  over  the 
double  stripe  after  returning  a  weak  punt 
deep  into  Williams  territory.  Captain 
Courter's  men  had  been  set  back  on  their 
heels  In-  an  intercepted  pass  and  a  penalty 
that  gave  Wesle\an  a  first  down  on  the 
Purple  twenty.  Sadowski's  first  pass  was 
dropped,  but  Wesleyan's  Buckle>'  snagged 
a  second  pass  to  grab  the  Wesmen  a 
c(msolation    prize. 

Higgins  Now  Nineteenth 

Pal  Higgins  marked  up  the  third  Eph 
touchdown  by  plunging  over  from  the 
Wesle\an  six  in  the  closing  minutes  of  the 
second  quarter.  Schmidt  ran  around  his 
own  right  end  for  thirty-four  yards  to 
set  up  the  tally  that  tieil  Higgins  with 
Amherst's  Jim  Carey  and  Bob  Agnew 
for  nineteenth  place  in  eastern  individual 
high  .scoring. 

Line  play  in  the  first  hall  was  stiff  and 
ei|ual,  but  Captain  Bill  C(mrter,  John 
Stiegman,  and  Ralph  Renzi  came  out  in 
the  second  half  to  smear  Wesnian  Billy 
.Sadowski  for  thirty-five  yards  on  two 
opening  pass  plays.  Onl\'  Sadowski's 
(rouble-making  punts  kept  the  Cardinals 
from  being  caged  into  their  own  half  of 
the  gridiron  during  the  rest  of  the  game. 
(See   WESLEYAN  GAME  Page  2) 


First  Honor  Sys- 
tem representative 
from  the  class  of 
1946  is  Frederick 
H.  Norton,  Jr., 
of  Gloucester. 
Elected  along  with 
Hyndman,  he  is 
a  member  of  Chi 
Psi,  and  attended 
the  Middlesex 
School  before 

L'ntering  Williams  this  summer.  He  is 
engaged  in  Williamstown  Boys'  Club  work 
for  the  WCA  and  is  out  for  the  wrestling 
team. 

Orr,  Swain,  and  Hyndman  will  join 
Oeorga  E.  Stanley,  Jr.,  John  Bridge- 
water,  HI,  and  Arthur  I.  Vorye  as 
members  of  the  EC.  Stanley  received  his 
position  on  the  committee  by  being 
elected  president  (see  column  4  at  right) 
of  the  new  Interfraternity  Council. 
Bridgewater  and  Vorys  receive  their 
positions  ex  officio  the  presidencies  of  the 
junior  and  sophomore  classes.  No  more 
elections  will  be  held  this  year  for  positions 
on  the  EC,  as  members  of  the  class  of 
1943,  the  only  group  not  to  fill  its  quota, 
cannot  complete  a  full  year  of  service  and 
consequently  will  not  be  elected. 


'Events  Justify  Hull's  Vichy  Policy'  -  Baxter; 
'Only  If  French  Don't  Resist/  Replies  Lerner 

The  rapid  turn  of  events  which  this  week  saw  the  American  arm\-  open  a 
second  front  in  northern  Africa,  and  which  led  to  a  new  state  of  relations 
between  the  United  States  government  and  the  puppet  government  of  Vichy, 
France,  appears,  according  to  President  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  to  bear  out  the 
validity  of  the  State  Department's  so-called  "appeasement"  policy  toward  Vichy. 
Lecturing    to    his    Political    Science    4'*' 

class  Monday  morning.  President  Baxter 

declared     that     the    State     Department 

preserved    "good     relations    with    Vichy 

primarily  with   a   view   to  a   landing   in 

North  Africa  at  the  right  moment."    He 

quoted  Secretary  of  State  Cordell  Hull's 

press  release  stating  that  he  maintained 

relations  with  Vichy  chiefly  so  that  we 

could  strike  when  the  proper  time  came. 
Softening  The  Africans 
"The  twenty  State  Department  attaches 

whom  we  kept  in  North  Africa  supervising 

the    distribution    of    American    supplies 

were    of   invaluable   service    in   softening 

up  the  territory  for  the  invasion,"  con- 
tinued   President    Baxter.      He  cited   as 

evidence   of    their   success    that    Algiers 

fell    in    seventeen    hours. 
Professor    Max    Lerner,    also    of    the 

political    science    department,    but    long 

an  outspoken  critic  of  the  State  Depart- 
ment's Vichy  policy,  is  skeptical  still  as 

to  whether  we  could  not  have  done  better 

by  breaking  sooner  with  Vichy.   He  cites 

Dakar  as  an  example  of  a  strong  fortress 

which  might  have  been  easily  won   two 

years  ago  before  the  Nazis  had  a  chance 


to  fortify  it.  Professor  Lerner  (|uestions 
whether  the  wait  to  strike  was  worth 
the  disillusionment  we  caused  in  the 
French  people  as  to  our  true  intent. 
If  They  Fight... 

In  an  editorial  entitled  The  Tide  of  The 
War  has  Turned  in  the  November  16 
issue  of  New  Republic,  Dr.  Lerner  writes, 
"There  will  be  many  who  will  point  to 
the  present  American  action  as  proof 
of  the  wisdom  of  the  appea.sement  policy 
the  State  Department  has  thus  far 
followed  toward  Vichy,  But  that  would 
be  to  prejudge  the  outcome.  If  the  Vichy 
regime  exerts  only  a  formal  amount  of 
force  to  save  its  face,  the  State  Depart- 
ment policy  will  have  been  largely  justi- 
fied. If,  however,  it  lights  with  all  its 
strength,  then  we  will  be  in  the  position 
of  having  given  the  Vichymen  time  to 
organize  their  strength,  strip  their  armies 
of  Nazi  influence- — and  we  will  have  no 
returns  to  show  for  it. 

Ancient  History 

"Yet  that  must  not  be  stressed.     The 
record    of    Vichy    appeasement    is    now

Although  no  business  meetings  have 
been  hekl  as  yet,  the  IF"C  has  been  work- 
ing in  conjunction  with  Robert  B.  Kitt- 
redge  '4,^,  retiring  I'C  president,  in  laying 
out  plans  for  concerted  action  during  the 
coming  months.  The  new  legislative

most  of  the  fimctioiis  of  the  old  UC. 
Next  TiK'sila)-  the  body  will  convene

it  will  oversee  all  problems  concerning 
fraternities  as  a  bod\',  including  the  form- 
ulation of  housepart\'  plans  and  the  estab-

ment of  post-season  rushing  will  also  be 
discussed  at  the  meeting  Tuesday,  as 
well  as  wartime  fraternit\'  proldems  and 
duties. 

Real  Action  Necessary

new  arrangement  of    undergraduate  leg-

FoiU  Disciplinary  Coup 

While  the  keepers  of  the  Hopkins 
Hall  dungeon  were  readying  their 
cubical  for  its  first  occupant  since  a 
nameless  student  set  fire  to  East 
College  in  1841,  and  Director  of  Ad- 
missions Thomas  J.  Wood,  Jr.,  was 
lubricating  the  ancient  Mark  Hopkins

bers of  the  Dean's  staff  set  out  to 
vindicate  Arthur  W.  Howe,  III  '4.S, 
who  had  been  meted  the  penalty  of 
eternal  probation  for  cutting  four 
consecutive   weeks   of  classes. 

It  was  not  until  Police  Chief  George 
A.  Royal  and  company  had  set  out 
on  the  trail  of  the  hapless  undergrad- 
uate that  light  was  shed  on  ihe  fact 
that  Howe  left  college  at  the  end  of 
the  first  term  to  begin  Navy  V-.S

A  poll  of  ihe  undergraduate  body  will 
be  ctmducted  Monda\  lo  determine  how 
many  students  are  seriously  interested  in 
contributing  to  the  proposed  Williams- 
town blood  bank,  Allen  F.  Maulsby  '44, 
leading  undergraduate  exponent  of  the 
plan,  announced  toda\ .  Knowledge  that 
both  Bowdoin  and  Carnegie  Tech  stu- 
dents are  active  in  blood  d(mors'  leagues 
has  added  stimulus  lo  the  campaign  begun 
last  week  for  facilities  in  Williamstown, 
and  Maulsby  wishes  to  determine  whi'ther 
such  a  project  would  receive  the  same 
support  here. 

Both  these  other  colleges  have  arrange- 
ments with  local  hospitals  in  co-operation 
with  the  Red  Cross  drive,  and  under- 
graduates  donate   regularly. 

Called  Upon  When  Needed 

Dr.  Edwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  Health 
and  Athletics,  working  with  Mrs.  James 
P.  Baxter,  3n\,  and  Maulsby,  recently 
learned  that  there  is  now  a  blood  bank  in 
Schenectady,  and  that  Albany  is  planning 
a  mobile  unit  which  will  tour  the  country- 
side. Whether  the  Albany  unit  will  l>e 
able  to  visit  Williamstown  is  not  yet 
known,  but  Dr.  Locke  has  expressed 
Williams'  desire  to  cooperate,  and  has 
been  assured  by  local  authorities  that  he 
will  be  called  upon  when  needed. 

"This  is  the  type  of  thing  which  every 
Williams  man  can  get  into  as  a  direct 
contribution  to  tbe  war  effort,"  Maulsby 
pointed  out.  "But  I  only  want  those  who 
are  sincerely  interested  in  donating  blood 
to  signify  that  intent  in  the  poll  Monday."

On  the  Home  Front 

Two  weeks  ago  Williiiin.s  led  ,several  oilier  Easlern  eolleges  in  i)elition- 
in^'  ( V)iif,'i'c,s,s  aKiiiiist  tlie  O'Daiiiel  rider.  The  leadershij)  siiown  in  that 
move  was  adiiiirahle,  i)iit  lo  date  Williams'  leadersliii)  has  been  re.strieled 
lo  letter-writing,  riidergradiiute.s  have  made  few  attenii)ts  at  playing 
a  more  aetive  part  in  this  war.  Ours  is  still  among  the  few  eolleges  and 
universities  thai  have  not  .si)onsored  a  War  IJoiid  or  War  Stani)) 
drive.  Ours  is  still  among  tlio.se  that  have  rejeeted  the  idea  of  auction- 
ing a  "^■ietor\■  Football"  to  tie  highest  War  IJoiid  bidder  de.spite  its 
proven  suecess.  And  where  .sueh  attemiits  liave  been  made  they  have 
laeked  necessary  authority. 

The  ISoani  of  Trustees  l)alked  the  lone  undergraduate  effort,  the 
recent  .scrap  iiiclal  drive,  at  the  half-way  mark  when  it  forbade  the  re- 
moval of  such  "traditional"  fixtures  as  the  fence  between  the  physics  and 
eliemistry  labs,  the  fence  behind  Ooodrich  Hall,  the  (iargoyle  fence,  the 
\iiie  |)roteetors  in  front  of  (ioodrich,  and  the  numerous  boot  .scra])ers  on 
front  steps  al'  over  ciinipiis.  These  and  oilier  valuable  .sources  of  .sera)) 
metal  might  better  be  used  to  jircscrve  the  traditions  for  which  we  are 
really  fighting  this  war. 

.Vii  outraged  Daily  I'liiwvloiiifiii  editorialized  last  week:  "It  lias  been 
several  months  since  War  Hoiids  have  been  even  menlioued  officially  on 
the  Princeton  campus."  War  lioiids  have  never  been  mentioned  officially 
on  the  Williams  camims. 

'i'he  purpose  of  the  Committee  on  the  State  of  the  College  in  a  World 
al  War,  set  up  in  early  September,  was  avowedly  lo  "find  out  whether 
Williams  is  doing  its  part  with  the  greatest  ])ossible  ell'ectiveness  in 
eoiilributing  towards  winning  the  war."  That  committee  was  appointed 
lo  do,  and  did  a  half-way  job.  Its  members  must  have  come  to  the  con- 
clusion tlial  Williams  is  not  doing  its  pari;  yet  it  has  lapsed  into  non- 
exisleuce  wilhoul  .so  much  as  making  a  formal  rei)ort  to  the  undergraduate 
body. 

There  can  be  no  fiirllier  efforts  for  an  effective  .scrap  iiielal  drive  as 
long  as  llie  truslees  coiitiiiiie  to  prohibit  lemoval  of  so-called  "traditional" 
fi.xtnres,  hut  lliiee  moves  now  appear  essential  if  Williams  is  to  play  its 
immediate  role  in  this  war, 

1)  A  comniitlee  to  investigate  possibilities  for  more  acliveeooiiera- 
tioii  with  the  war  effort  and  to  act  on  its  findings  .should  be  established 
immedialely. 

2)  On  Monday  Allen  K,  Mantsby  'II,  leading  undergraduate 
exponent  of  the  jjroiiosed  Blood  Hank  program,  will  poll  the  student  body 
to  determine  the  number  of  volunteer  blood  donors  available  in  the  event 
that  such  a  i)laii  will  be  made  jiossible  al  Williams.  The  college  must 
res|)oii(l  favorably  in  that  poll. 

;i)  The  newly  formed  Iiiterfralernily  Council  or  a  reorganized  War 
Committee  niusl  lead  the  college  in  an  ell'eelive  War  Bond  or  War  Stanii) 
drive.

WESLEYAN  GAME 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

The  Purple  frontwall's  downfield  block- 
ing paved  the  road  for  touchdown  runs  as 
Caldwell  peel-back  specials  took  out  two 
and  three  men  at  a  time  to  prove  the  most 
dangerous  weapon  on  the  field, 

Wesleyan  Captain  VanderClute  played 
a  defensive  game  that  was  a  thorn  in  the 
Eph  side.  His  work  was  matched  by 
Williams  Captain  Bill  Courier  who  played 
wherever  the  liall  was,  and  stopped  a  sure 
Williams  score  when  he  caught  up  with 
goal-bound  Tex  Maynard  and  knocked 
him  out  of  bounds. 


Two  weeks  ago  'I'HE  UECORD  slated 
editorially  that  in  ordiT  to  win  the  war 
and  secure  our  victory  in  a  just  pe:ice 
Americans  nuisl  not  think  in  terms  of  a 
selfish  I'liited  Stales  triuni|ih.  but  nilher 
in  terms  of  an  unselfish  triumph  for  llu' 
United  Nations.  This  is  a  concept  which 
has  amused  considerable  rightecms  in- 
dignation among  the  "holie  -than-thon" 
patriots  who  slill  feel  ll  at  a  pitifulh'  slow 
Americi,  which  for  years  has  dodged  worlil

dictate  to  her  allies,  Russia  and  ('hina, 
whose  gallant  resistance  staved  olT  a 
totalitarian  triumph  while  Americans 
were  stalling  through  the  dark  hours  of 
I'MO -11, 

We  cannot  be  morally  consist eiU  and 
allow  ourselves  to  look  down  our  noses 
at  ihe  Russian  accomplishnienls,  Hut 
more  important  than  this  we  nuisl  realize 
that  the  shortest  road  to  a  complete  vic- 
tor\'  in  ihe  practical  sense  lie-  through 
unselfish  cooperatiim  wi.h  all  our  allies. 
And  furlhermore,  this  kind  of  cooperation 
istheiMih'  method  liy  which  we  C!Ui  hope  to 
obtain  the  kind  of  peace  we  want — a  peace 
free  from  hateful  recriminations  an<l

I'lii-  vino  described  above  is  esseiiliaUy 
u'lutl  Wendell  Willkie  was  driving  al  in 
his  report  lo  the  A  imrican  people  some  weeks 
ago.  It  is  both  ideological  untl  practical. 
The  events  of  the  past  few  days,  far  from 
outnioding  these  ideas,  have,  on  the  contrary, 
presented  tis  with  a  concrete  example  of 
what  cooperation  can  do.  And  more  im- 
portant still  are  Ihe  possibilities  for  farther 
cooperation  with  liusiia,  if  the  southern 
Mediterranean  shipping  lanes  can  be 
opened  up  to  supplement  the  always 
I  dangerous  Murmansk  route.  In  Ihe  first 
\  flush  of  victory  and  consequent  optimism 
we  should  not  forget  that  we  have  a  long  way 
to  go.  and  thai  the  fruits  of  victory  will  not 
he  exclusively  ours. 

The    following    letter   appe;u'ed    in    the 

Daily    Princelonian    some    weeks    ago    in 

connection    with    the   controversy    raging 

about  the  admission  of  negroes  to  Prince- 

1  ton  t'niversity.     It  is  reprinted  here,  nol 

iiecause  the  negro  problem  is  an  issue  at 

I  Williams,    but    because   we    think    it    has 

something  to  say   about    democrac\'   and 

1  the  race  problem, 

"Informed  of  the  C(jntroversy  over  the 
admittance  of  Negro  sliidents  to  Princeton 
Iniversity,  I  deem  it  imperative  that  you 
weigh  the  views  of  a  Negro  youth  whose 
choice  of  a  college  w.is  decidedly  affected 
'  by  racial  barriers.  I  was  born  and  bred 
in  Princeton.  The  events  of  your  uni- 
versity during  the  past  decade  are  among 
the  most  intimate  of  my  childhood  mem- 
ories. I  saw  your  Bill  lionthron  challenge 
Glenn  Cunningham.  I  cheered  for  Le 
i  \an,  Fairnian,  and  Ceppi  when  the 
Bengals  were  invincible,  t  feel  that  I  am 
just  as  much  a  son  of  Old  Nassau  as  many 
of  you  are. 

"My  plea  is  not  the  sob  story  of  an 
irresponsible  person  who  has  committed 
a  crime;  although  I  may  be  considered 
criminal  for  destroying  your  fallacies  and 
corrupting  your  illusions  concerning  the 
Negro  and  "his  place,"  I  am  making  no 
appeal  to  your  emotions;  my  only  purpose 
is  to  authentically  define  the  desires  of 
Negro  youth  and  to  eradicate  any  ideas 
concerning  his  complacency. 

"If  you  discriminate  iigainst  me  because 
I  am  uncouth,  I  can  liecomc  mannerly. 
If  you  ostracize  me  becmse  I  am  unclean, 
I  can  cleanse  myself.  If  you  segregate 
me  because  I  lack  knowledge,  I  can  be- 
come educated.  But  if  \ou  discriminate 
against  me  because  of  ray  color,  I  can  do 
nothing.  God  gave  me  my  color.  I  have 
no  possible  protection  .igainst  race  preju- 
dice but  to  take  refuge  in  cynicism,  bitter- 
ness, and  hatred.

You  can  help  save 
29,000  hours  a  day 

ONE  second  saved  in  each  of  the  106  million  telephone 
calls  made  every  day  would  add  up  to  well  over 
29,000  hours— would  help  greatly  to  keep  lines  open  for 
vital  military  and  war  production  calls. 

A  single  second  is  that  important.  So  answer  promptly, 
giving  your  location  and  name,  and  keep  your  conver- 
sation brief.  When  making  a  call,  be  sure  you  have  the 
right  number— use  the  directory — call  Information  only 
when  it's  really  necessary.  And  please  don't  use  Long 
Distance  to  defense  areas  unless  your  call  is  urgent. 

The  Bell  System  has  a  big  job  to  do.  By  saving  seconds

That  Wesleyan  game  was  the  first  of 
what  was,  and  still  is,  virtually  a  two-game 
schedule.  The  next  one  comes  tomorrow 
against  Stan  Woodward's  club,  which  by 
some  miraculoush-  clever  publicity  or 
rather,  lack  of  it,  has  been  established  as 
the  underdog,  knrnor  has  it  that  even 
the  smart  money  on  Broadway  is  on 
Williams,  giving  Amherst  as  much  as 
thirteen   points. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable 
jobs  of  surreptitiously  Iniilding  up  con- 
fidence that  we  have  seen  in  some  time. 
As  far  as  we  can  see,  Lloyd 
The  Jordan  Jordan  and  his  coaching 
'Daily  News'  staff  even  run  the  Am- 
herst press  bureau,  as 
evidenced  by  the  report  they  sent  into 
the  New  York  Herald  Tribune  a  da>-  or 
two  ago.  There  were  about  four  inches 
devoted  to  the  thorough  trimming  Wil- 
liams had  given  \\'esle\'an,  and  about  foiu' 
lines  saying  that,  oh  yes,  incidentally,  a 
few  men  turned  out  for  practice  yesterday 
and  Jordan  sent  them  through  signal  drill. 

As  a  result,  Amherst  has  gotten  itself 
into  the  extremely  rare  and  enviable 
position  of  having  everything  to  gain  and 
noth.ng  to  lose,  with  Williams  holding  the 
well-known  bag  no  matter  who  wins  on 
Sr.turday.  If  Jordan  is  beaten,  the  alumni 
have  nothing  to  complain  about  because, 
naturally,  those  big  powerful  titans  who 
came  rolling  out  of  the  lierkshires  should 
have  won.  Weren't  the\-  voted  the 
twentieth  best  team  in  the  country  last 
week  by  dozens  of 
A  Silent  sportswriters?     While 

Tub-Thumping  ])oor  little  Amherst, 
which  has  only  been 
scored  on  once  in  four  weeks  and  which 
has  a  weight  advantage  over  Williams  of 
seven  poimds  per  man  in  the  line,  goes 
(|uietly  and  l)lissfully  on,  completely 
ignored  and  forgotten.  And  think  of  the 
strategic  position  this  leaves  the  vitupera- 
tive Stanle\".  He  will  have  no  trouble

Jayvees  Tie  Jeffs,

Cobden  Passes  to  Leary 
for  Tally;  Whistle  Halts 
Game  on  One- Yard  Line 

After  being  outplayed  for  the  first  three 
periods  by  a  stubborn  .Amherst  eleven 
last  Saturday,  the  Williams  junior  varsity 
I'oolball  team  struck  back  in  the  final 
minutes  of  the  game  to  tie  the  score  13-13. 

.Amherst  tallied  in  the  first  period  push- 
ing the  ball  over  from  the  2-yard  line 
after  a  long  drive.  The  conversion  was 
good,  and  the  home  team  led  7-0.  Williams 
ccmid  not  break  free  to  score  until  the 
third  period  when  Dick  Cobden  swung 
around  his  own  right  end  on  a  reverse 
and  scampered  down  the  sideline  un- 
molested. Jim  Crawford  con\'erted  by  a 
place  kick  tying  the  score  up  at  7-7. 
Again  in  Position 

The  Sabrinas  rallied  antl  soon  scored 
through  the  middle  of  the  Purple  line 
from  the  forty-yard  stripe.  The  kick 
went  wide  and  Amherst  led  13-7.  With 
but  five  minutes  of  play  remaining  the 
Jeffs  were  again  in  scoring  position.  The 
Williams  line  held,  however,  and  the 
Purple  took  the  ball  on  downs. 

Cobden  faded  back  into  the  end  zone 
on  the  second  play  after  the  goal  line  stand 
and  threw  a  long  pass  to  Dick  Lambert 
who  fought  to  the  midficUl  but  could  not 
break  loose.  Another  heave,  Cobden  to 
Brooks  Wood,  carried  to  the  Amherst 
twenty,  and  a  Cobden  to  Leary  toss  into 
the  end  zone  deadlocked  the  contest. 
Crawford's  kick  fell  wide. 

With  One  Yard  to  Go 

With  little  more  than  two  minutes  of 
pla)-    remaining,    the    Ephs    kicked    off.

Seelye's  Overtime  Score 
Decides;  Tinier  Nullifies 
Would-Be     Eph    Victory 

by  ClIAKl.lK  IllUKK  '4.S 
Father  Time  called  th<'  turn  in  last 
Saturday's  Amherst-Williams  soccer  battle 
at  Amherst  as  the  Jeffs  eked  out  a  1-0 
overtime  win  to  retain  their  Little  Three 
championship.  Co-Captain  Talc  SeeKc. 
leading  scorer  in  the  New  England  Inler-

past  goalie  Tom  Hoover  at  the  close  of 
the  first  e.xtra  period, 

Robbed  By  Second-Hand 
N(]t  conceded  a  chance  against  I  lie  un- 
defeated Sabrina  s(|u;id  which  had  ascr- 
ageil  five  points  a  game,  Ed  Bullock's 
Williams  eleven  came  within  two  seconds 
of  Ujjsetting  the  dope  when  Bill  Brewer 
booted  what  appeared  to  l)e  the  winniiig 
goal  just  as  the  regulation  game  ended, 
only  t(]  have  it  nullified  b\-  tin'  timer's 
watch.  The  clock  had  run  out  behind  the 
backs  of  both  referee  and  pla\ers,  and  it 
was  not  until  several  seconds  later  that 
those  on  the  field  got  the  signal  that  the 
Wiekersham-Flynt-Brewer  scoring  play 
was   ju.st   an    off-the-record   incident. 

OffensiveK'  the  game  was  dominated  b\' 
Anihersl,  with  the  Ephmen  holding  their 
own  only  during  the  second  ([uarter  and 
parts  of  the  fourth  and  (ucrlime  periods.

Eph  Harriers  Win 
Little  Three  Title 

Brown   Gains   First   Place,  j 
Nearly     Breaks     Record ; 
Final    Score    Is    32-43-48 

Paced  by  Captain  Dave  Brown,  the 
Williams  harriers  climaxed  a  relatively 
poor  season  by  pinning  a  resounding  de- 
feat on  their  Little  Three  rivals,  Amherst 
and  Wesleyan.  The  Eph  runners  took 
four  of  the  first  ten  places  in  building 
up  a  32-43-48  advantage  over  their 
traditional  adversaries. 

Captain  Brown,  winning  his  fourth 
meet  easib',  came  within  eleven  seconds 
of  beating  the  \\\'sle\'an  course  record 
set  in  1936.  Infamiliar  as  he  was  with 
the  Cardinal  layout.  Brown's  mark  of 
24:21.0  seconds  eclipsed  the  efforts  of  the 
second-place  Wesman,  Bernie  Giza,  Ijy 
forty  yards. 

Post-Epidemic  Power 

At  full  strength  for  the  first  time  this 
year  following  an  epidemic  of  injuries, 
the  whole  squad  gave  a  good  account 
of  itself.  Maurie  Goodbody,  bothered 
in  the  past  two  meets  by  shin  splints,  took 
third  place,  Paul  lleppes  came  in  sixth, 
and  Ed  Sheffield  ran  eighth.  Fran 
Lathrop,  Bud  Hartman,  and  Larry  Harris 
trailed  in  the  fourteenth,  sixteenth  and 
.seventeenth  positions.  Ted  Anderson  led 
the  Amherst  contingent  placing  fourth. 

Retaining  the  Little  Three  champion- 
ship over  the  four-mile,  gently  sloping 
Wesleyan  course,  took  much  of  the  sting 
out  of  the  three  defeats  already  suffered 
by  the  Purple  harriers.  Injuries  and  the 
best  Union  outfit  in  years,  according  to 
Coach  Tony  Plansky,  jjlayed  prominent 
parts  in  these  disappointing  performances.

finding  justification  for  a  beating  if  Am- 
herst does  lose,  and  it's  frighteningto  think 
what  we'll  sec  in  the  Sunday  paper  if 
they  don't.  Let  us  hereby  extend  our 
heartiest  congratulations  to  the  pro- 
fessional tub-thumper,  or  whoever  is 
responsible  for  the  A-1  job  of  hushing  up 
Amherst   football. 

Amherst  had  three  scouts  at  our  game 
hist  Saturday  and  there  is  no  doubt  that 
they  found  out  what  a  looping  defensive 
line  can  do  to  the  vaunted  Williams  run- 
ning attack.  \'ery  often  only  the  Wesleyan 
ends  would  charge,  with  the  rest  of  the 
line  swinging  back  and  following  the  ball 
carrier.  N'anderClute, 
A  Murderous  who  for  our  money  was 
Looping  Line  one  of  the  best  men  on 
the  field,  was  going  in 
and  out  of  the  line  soquickly  thatthcwhole 
defensive  complexion  of  the  Wesleyan 
team  changed  constantly.  This  proved  to 
be  confusing  and  efficient  for  the  first  half, 
but  then  Williams  started  to  pass  which  is 
the  one  thing  that  will  murder  a  looping 
line.  If  there  is  one  glaring  weakness  of 
the  Williams  team  it  is  the  lack  of  a  truly 
formidable  pass  offense,  proven  by  the 
fact  that  we  ne\er  really  got  rolling 
against  Wesleyan. 

Watch  out  for  this  looping  line  to- 
morrow, and  also  pra\'  that  Amherst 
doesn't  take  advantage  of  the  fact  that  the 
center  of  the  Willianis  line  practically 
never  charges  the  kicker,  l)ut  instead  drops 
hack  to  block  for  tht'  safety  man.  This 
is  a  perfect  opening  for  a 
Opening  for  flat  pass  or  a  wide  end 
A  Flat  Pass  sweep  from  deep  kick 
formation,  and  if  this 
Agnew  is  as  fast  as  be  is  reported  to  be 
there  is  great  clanger  fnjni  this  direction. 
In  spite  of  all  this  pessimism,  we  still 
think  that  Williams  is  belter  by  a  touch- 
down or  more,  and  now  we're  looking  tor 
some  Amherst  money  that  says  no.

Resorting  to  a  desperate  aerial  attack 
Amherst  lost  the  ball  when  Dick  Pratt 
intercepted  a  pass  at  niidfield.  The 
Purple  passing  division  went  to  work  once 
more  as  Cobden  dropped  back  into  his 
own  territory  for  a  toss  that  carried  lo 
Tom  Lear>'  on  the  Sabrinas'  six-\ard 
stripe.  The  heave  would  have  meant  the 
winning  touchdown  had  not  Leary's 
knee  touched  the  ground  as  he  made  the 
catch.  Two  line  bucks  and  a  reverse 
carried  to  the  one-yard  marker  where, 
witli  the  Ephs  preparing  to  make  the 
supreme  effort  to  break  the  deadlock,  the 
final  whistle  blew.

He  had  entered  active  service  se\-eral

In  a  letter  to  Mr.  Adriance  which 
reported  the  death,  John  C.  Leslie,

from  the  University  of  Califcn-nia,  Lil-

MacKay  Posthumously 
Awarded  Silver  Star 

The  Silver  Star  has  been  posthumously 
awarded  to  Donald  S.  MacKa\ ,  Jr.  ex-'41, 
previously  reported  niLssing  in  the  March 
20  issue  of  The  Record.  The  presenta- 
tion was  made  by  the  "Conmianding 
General,  Allied  Air  Forces,  Scnithwest 
Pacific  Area,    for  gallantry  in   acticm." 

The  above  quotation  appeared  in  a 
letter  to  MacKay's  parents  from  the 
Adjutant  General.  The  letter  also  en- 
closed the  following  citation  by  the  Com- 
manding General  for  their  son's  conduct; 

"Although  he  knew  that  the  enemy 
would  be  on  hand,  not  onl\-  with  heav\- 
anti-aircraft  fire,  but  also  with  an  un- 
known number  of  fighter  aircraft.  Sergeant 
MacKay  volunteered  for  this  mission 
without  the  slightest  hesitation.  On 
February  20,  1942,  this  flight  made  an 
attack  on  a  group  of  Japanese  naval 
vessels.  This  bombing  took  place  amid 
a  hail  of  anti-aircraft  fire  and  in  the  face 
of  an  attack  from  enemy  Zero  fighter 
planes.  A  successful  bombing  resulted, 
but  his  plane  was  damaged  and  fell  into 
the  sea  after   the   dive   was  completed."

the  Weslejan  game,  Caldwell  has  been 
drilling  to  make  something  more  than  a 
spare  tire  out  of  his  passes.  Last  week's 
exhibition  showed  potentialities  but 
certainly  was  not  evidence  of  a  full  fledged 
passing  attack. 

A  Roundabout  Edge 

Biggest  feather  in  the  Amherst  cap  is 
their  6-0  win  over  otherwise  undefeated 
Rochester.  The  lone  score  was  smashed 
over  right  tackle  after  it  had  been  set  up 
by  a  long  |)ass.  Last  week  Rochester 
crushed  Union,  40-2,  to  give  Amherst  a 
roundabout  comparative  edge  over  the 
Williams  eleven  that  topped  I'nion,  41-15. 
The  Jeffs  have  also  subdued  Springfield, 
Bowdoin,  Wesle>an,  Mass.  .State,  and 
Trinity. 

Sabrina  Coach  Lloyd  Jordan  has  built 
his  team  around  the  hard-hitting  play  of 
his  toughened  backs.  Bob  Agnew,  Jim 
Carey,  Rollo  Smith,  and  Chick  Koebel 
have  never  been  stopped  within  their 
opponents'  ten  yard  line,  and  half  of 
the  twenty-four  Jeff  tallies  have  been 
scored  on  plunges.  Each  back  passes, 
and  Smith's  out-of-bounds  kicking  artistry

Campus-Wide  War 
Stamp  Campaign 

Pledging  to  Start  Soon; 
Actual  Collections  Will 
Begin  Week  of    Nov.  30 

by  Oliver  J.  Keller  '45 

In  a  determined  effort  to  boost  the 
sales  of  War  Stamps  and  Bonds  among 
students,  the  Purple  Cow  has  initiated 
The  Williams  War  Stamp  Drive,  a  plan 
(if  weekly  pledges  from  everj'  social  unit 
on  campus.  Pres.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd 
lias  expressed  whole-hearted  support  for 
the  program,  and  it  has  been  endorsed 
by  the  Executive  Committee  and  Inter- 
fraternity   Council. 

Selected  for  Task 

Representing  the  War  Stamp  drive 
in  every  house  will  be  an  undergraduate 
selected  for  the  task  by  the  respective 
house  Presidents.  These  representatives 
must  be  chosen  by  the  fraternity  and 
Garfield    Club   heads   by   Sunday. 

Although  the  War  Stamp  sale  is  spon- 
sored b\-  the  Purple  Cow,  a  committee 
composed  of  students  in  various  college 
activities  will  be  in  charge  of  the  drive. 
Charles  W.  Schlosser  '44,  chairmaEi  of 
the  committee,  declared  that  the  actual 
collection  of  pledges  made  this  Wednes- 
day would  not  begin  until  the  week  of 
November  30. 

No  One  Forced  t€>  Contribute 

Schlosser  emphasized  that  no  one  would 
be  forced  to  pledge  weekly  support  of 
the  stamp  drive.  Once  the  student  has 
pledged  a  contribution,  varying  from  ten 
cents  to  several  dollars,  however,  he  will 
be  expected  to  turn  in  the  sum  pledged 
to  the  representative  of  the  drive  in  his 
snrial    unit,     he     s.iid. 

'Keep  lip  Weekly  Pledges' 

"The  most  important  thing,"  Schlosser 
declared,  "is  to  keep  up  the  weekly 
pledges.  Every  student,  who  says  that 
he  will  pay  such  and  such  an  amount, 
willjbe  expected  to  pay  his  house  repre-

Bridge  water  New 
President  of  E.  C. 

I.  F.  C.  Chooses  Leaders 
for  Five  Committees ; 
Bond    Drive    Approved 

In  action  taken  this  week,  John  Bridge- 
water,  III,  '44  was  elected  president  of 
the  Executive  Committee,  and  the  Inter- 
fraternity  Council  approved  a  College 
War  Bond  drive  sponsored  by  the  Purple 
Cow.  The  IPC  also  appointed  chairmen 
for  its  committees  and  discussed  setting 
a  date  for  initiations  of  the  1946-0  fresh- 
men. 

After  his  election  the  new  president 
voiced  a  hope  to  meet  effectively  the 
problems  of  his  committee  and  outlined 
a  plan  by  which  Robert  B.  Kittredge  '43, 
former  president  of  the  defunct  Under- 
graduate Council,  will  attend  the  opening 
meetings  in  an  advisory  capacity.  In  the 
same  elections  William  T.  Orr  '44  was 
chosen  secretary. 

DutiM  o{  Old  UC 

Donald  M.  Lindsay  '44  was  appointed 
Rushing  Chairman  of  the  Interfraternity 
Council,  and  M.  Michael  Griggs  '44 
will  take  over  the  Elections  committee. 
Edwin  S.  Sheffield  '44  will  be  Athletic 
Chairman,  and  Paul  L.  Kohnstamm  '44 
is  in  charge  of  the  financial  committee. 
These  committees  will  take  over  the 
duties  and  organization  of  the  old  Under- 
graduate Council's  corresponding  groups. 

First  action  taken  by  the  Interfraternity 
Council  was  the  approval  of  a  War  Bond 
and  Stamp  promotion  plan  to  be  devel- 
oped by  the  Purple  Cow.  As  soon  as  the 
necessary  printing  can  be  finished,  the 
plan  will  go  into  effect  on  a  campus-wide 
basis.  The  campaign  will  be  started  at 
a  meeting  of  house  presidents  next 
Monday   night.

345  Men  Would  Give 
To  Red  Cross  Blood 
Bank,  Query  Reveals 


Undergraduate  response  to  the  Blood 
Bank  query  circulated  in  the  social  groups 
this  week  by  Allen  F.  Maulsby  '44  was 
"quite  heartening,"  with  345  men  signify- 
ing their  willingness  to  give  blood  to  the 
Red  Cross  when  called  upon.  Theta 
Delta  Chi  made  the  most  favorable  show- 
ing as  26  out  of  40  men  declared  themselves 
ready  to  aid. 

Maulsby  noted  that  enough  had  signed 
to  make  the  project  feasible,  and  that 
when  the  time  came  to  donate,  he  was 
convinced  there  would  be  additional 
applications.  Excluding  the  Garfield  Club, 
an  average  of  seventeen  men  per  house 
signed. 

Word  is  now  awaited  from  Albany  or 
Schenectady  as  to  when  the  Red  Cross 
can  send  a  medical  group  or  a  mobile  unit 
to  Williamstown  to  accept  a  pint  of  blood 
at  regular  intervals  from  the  donors. 
It  is  expected  that  the  unit  will  have  lo 
spend  a  week  here  each  time. 

Concert  Series   Opens

Noted      Pianist     Conducts 
Rochester    Philharmonic 

The  Thompson  Concert  Committee 
announced  its  plans  for  four  concerts 
during  the  1942-43  season  last  Wednesda>-. 
The  nunilier  and  consequently  the  price 
of  the  concerts  has  been  reduced  in  view 
of  the  war  eniergenc\',  Treasurer  Donald 
L.  Fuchs  '44  staled. 

"W'e  have  tried  to  plan  a  scries  of 
concerts  that  will  have  a  more  definite 
appeal  to  the  student  body  than  in  past 
years,"  Fuchs  added.  Our  theme  is  to 
interest  the  students  in  the  concerts  more 
than  ever  before."  With  this  idea  in 
mind  the  Committee  has  chosen  for  its 
first  two  offerings  concerts  that  will  be 
of  th<'  greatest  interest  so  that  the  seniors 
may  take  advantage  of  them  before  leav- 
ing college  in  Fel)ruar\ . 

Nin-Culmell  Guest  Artist 

The  Rochester  Philharmonic  Orchestra, 
conducted  by  rcknouncd  pianist  Jose 
Iturbi,  will  open  the  season  December

tion of  Ituilii,  Joaquin  Nin-Culmell, 
Williams  music  instructor,  will  appear  as 
a  piano  soloisL 

The  second  concert  will  feature  soprano 
Anne  Brown,  Broadway  star  of  Porgy 
and  Bess.  Miss  Brown  will  appear  in 
Chapin  Hall  Jantiaiy  12  as  pdrt  of  her 
first  concert  lour.  She  has  bfecn  \'er\ 
successful  in  New  York,  for,  as  one  re- 
viewer stati^d,  "Her  voice  is  one  of  the 
loveliest  heard  on  the  concert  platform 
in  several  years." 

'Grand  Prix'  Recipient 

Ruggiero  Ricci,  will  play  at  the  third 
in  the  series,  but  the  date  has  yet  to  be 
announced.  Beveridge  Webster  will  close

Unprecedented  in  the  history  of  the 
Williams  Christian  Associiition  was  the 
election  of  Sophomore  Arthur  I.  Vorys 
last  night  to  the  presidency\)f  that  organ-

Class  of  1945,  was  co-captain  of  the  fresh-

Colleges  Throughout  Nation  Geared  to  Train 
550,000   Students,  Service  Men   for  War 

Through  programs  that  foreshadow  Williams'  future,  colleges  and  universities 
throughout  the  country  have  geared  their  facilities  to  the  needs  of  the  nation's  all- 
out  military  effort.  Already  cooperation  with  the  armed  services  has  transformed 
traditionally  quiet  campuses  into  huge  training  centers  where  during  the  coming 
year  a  minimum  of  550,000  men  will  be  prepared  for  the  mental  and  physical 
rigors  of  modern  war. 

Accommodated  Visiting  Teams 

Representative  of  the  colleges  thus  co- 
operating with  the  armed  forces  is  Dart- 
mouth, where  the  Naval  Training  School 
has  requisitioned  five  dormitories  and 
the  David  Field  House,  formerly  used  to 
accommodate  visiting  teams.  Also  rented 
are  the  Freshmen  Commons,  an  ad- 
ministration building,  study  hall  space, 
and  thirteen  classrooms. 

To  the  WAVES  who  arrived  October  6, 
Smith  College  has  lent  three  dormitories, 
provided  facilities  for  classes  and  lectures, 
and  made  available  the  athletic  fields. 
Congestion  near  the  buildings'  where 
courses  are  attended  by  both  WAVES 
and  regular  students  has  necessitated 
the  staggering  of  class  hours. 

Floor  of  Claasrooms 

Mount  Holyoke  has  turned  over  to  the 
United  States  Navy  two  college  residence 
Halls  and  a  floor  of  classrooms.  This 
week  320  officer  candidates  of  the  Women's 
Naval  Reserve  arrived  to  begin  a  six- 
week  indoctrination   program. 

At  Princeton  three  different  parts  of 
the  armed  forces  are  making  use  of 
facilities.  Groups  of  naval  aviation  cadets, 
deck  officers,  and  officers  of  the  Army 
Post  Exchange  are  all  receiving  training 


on  the  university  campus. 

The  present  academic  year  will  see 
250,000  men  sent  b>-  the  services  to  the 
colleges  for  specialized  training,  a  number 
which  before  the  year  has  ended  may  be 
greatly  increased.  Another  250,000  are 
to  be  trained  by  the  colleges  themselves 
under  the  Student  Enlisted  Reserve  and 
ROTC  programs. 

Corraapondence  Course 

Besides  this,  through  the  seventy-seven 
colleges  participating  in  the  Army's 
correspondence  course  program,  50,000 
men  now  in  uniform  will  receive  instruc- 
tion. 

In  many  respects  the  Army  and  Navy 
plans  have  meant  the  development  of 
schools  within  schools,  the  services  having 
their  own  books,  regulations,  and  often 
completely  separate  faculties.  Training 
periods  vary  from  one  month  to  six  and 
average  four. 

By  contractual  arrangements,  the  col- 
leges are  repaid  for  the  cost  of  feeding, 
housing,  or  training  the  men  in  uniform. 
In  some  instances  the  military  authorities 
have  taken  over  most  of  the  dormitories 
on  the  campus,  and  there  the  students 
have  been  forced  to  double  up  in  fraternity 
houses  or  board  out  in  nearby  towns. 


Smith's  88- Yard  Boot 
Decisive  Factor  On 
Wind-Swept  Gridiron 

Purple  Tallies  on  Pass 

A  spirited  Sabrina  eleven  came  from 
behind  to  score  twice  in  the  last  five 
minutes  of  play  and  down  previously  un- 
defeated Williams,  12-6,  on  Pratt  Field 
last  Saturday  as  a  biting  cold  and  strong 
wind  cut  capers  with  both  players  and 
spectators.  The  victory  was  Amherst's 
first  over  the  Purple  since  1938  and  gives 
the  Jeffs  the  Little  Three  crown  as  well  as 
a  perfect  record  for  the  1942  season. 
Knocked    on   Jeff   Door 

The  Ephnieii  outplayed  Amherst  for 
three  periods  liul  stalled  each  time  they 
knocked  on  the  Jeff  door  until  the  third 
pericxl  when  Mill  Schmidt  snatched  Gun- 
ner Hayes'  twent\'-five  >'ard  pass  in  the 
end  zone.  When  Rollo  Smith's  punt  in 
the  first  play  of  the  fourth  (|uarter  was 
pushed  eighty-eight  yards  by  the  wind 
to  the  Williams  two,  the  Caldwellnien 
were  janmied  into  defensive  territory  and 
never  again  were  able  to  work  into  the 
open. 

Hy  intentionally  kicking  out  of  bounds 
at  every  opportunity,  the  Amherst  punt 
artists  kept  the  ball  away  from  Bill 
Schmidt  and  the  open  field  speed  that  has 
put  him  high  up  in  the  ranks  of  Eastern 
individual  scorers.  Schmidt  showed  his 
calibre  by  playing  a  better  game  through 
the  line  than  he  has  against  any  of  this 
season's  opponents. 

Usual  Deadly  Accuracy 

Captain  Bill  Comtcr  backed  up  the 
line  with  his  usual  deadly  accuracy,  and 
Ralph  Renzi  was  unstoppable  from  his 
position  at  guard.  John  Stiegman  pushed 
through  the  special  blocking  assignments 
designed  for  him  by  Lloyd  Jordan  to 
crash   Amherst  ball  carriers  continually. 

The  bulldog  Sabrina  defense  was  built 
around  cagey  Captain  Bud  Hassu  at  left 
end  anil  Dick  Kimball,  left  guard,  who 
made  a  strategic  recovery  of  a  Williams 
fumble  in  the  last  frame.  Tackling  was 
hard  and  clean  on  both  sides  with  the 
referee  l)lowing  his  whistle  for  only  one 
five-yard  penalt)'  on  each  side.

'Thunder  Rock'  Begins 
Full  Cast  Rehearsals 

Claiming  distinction  as  the  first  full 
length  play  produced  in  the  AMT  to  be 
organized  and  directed  entirely  by  under- 
graduates. Thunder  Rock,  the  Cap  and 
Bells  production  scheduled  to  appear  on 
December  11  and  12,  has  completed 
casting  and  has  gone  into  the  early  re- 
hearsal stage. 

A  complement  of  twelve  actors  and 
actresses  drawn  from  the  ranks  of  the 
student  body  and  the  l(x;al  townspeople 
are  on  hand  for  daily  rehearsals  under  the 
leadership  of  Charles  W.  Moore  '43,  who 
will  direct  the  play  in  the  absence  of  Max 
Flowers.  It  was  announced  Wednesday 
that  Mrs.  Robert  G.  Barrow  will  fill  the 
role  of  "Melanie,"  a  part  not  previously 
assigned.  Bayard  R.  Kraft  '43,  Cashing 
Strout  '45,  and  Mrs.  Carl  S.  Hoar  will 
act  the  lead  parts. 

Lighthouse  Introvert 
An  unusual  blend  of  fantasy  and  current 
significance,  Thunder  Rock  played  to 
capacity  audiences  in  London  during  the 
height  of  England's  peril.  Written  by 
Robert  Ardrey,  the  plot  is  concerned  with 
a  young  man  who  loses  faith  in  the  world 
and  secludes  himself  in  a  lighthouse. 
His  conversion  to  a  more  healthy  outlook 
by  real  and  ghostly  visitors  comprises 
the  struggle  of  the  play.

The  Opportunity  for  Leadership 

1/iist  week  .six  im'iuher.s  of  a  new  Executive  Coiniiiiltec  of  Student 
Government  at  Willium.s  College  met  for  the  first  time.  Behind  that 
foininittee  lay  a  re])re.seiilative  tradition  Imilt  up  over  a  period  of  eight 
years  by  I'lidergraduate  Couneil.s  that  were  eitiicr  unwilling  or  unable 
to  lead  canipu.s  opinion,  that  followed  in.stead. 

Ahead  of  that  committee,  and  its  sub.sidiaiy,  liie  Inlerfraternity 
Council,  lies  an  opportunity  and  a  responsibility  to  iis.sume  the  students' 
role  in  lea<ling  a  college  (luring  tliis  crisis  year.  Ahead  lies  the  oi)])ortunity 
and  responsibility  to  take  the  initiative,  to  establish  authority,  to  gain 
recognition  of  undergraduate  and  faculty  bodies  alike  where  before  there 
has  been  tio  initiative,  no  authority,  no  recognition.  .\  new  constitution 
has  eliininateil  many  of  the  weaknes.ses  and  inadequaeie  sof  undergraduate 
leadershii)  at  Williams. 

There  is  much  to  be  done.  As  yet  no  provision  has  been  made  for 
undergraduate  representaticni  at  faculty  meetings  dealing  with  matters 
of  mutual  interest,  yet  the  value  of  student-faculty  interdependence  has 
already  been  ])roved  by  the  Committee  on  the  State  of  the  College  in  a 
World  at  War,  composed  of  five  undergraduates  and  five  members  of 
the  faculty.  As  yet  no  steps  have  been  taken  toward  granting  under- 
graduate government  the  i)()wers  iiece.s.sary  to  support  responsible  legi.sla- 
tioii,  and  these  powers  remain  in  the  hands  of  the  Committee  on  Di.scipline. 
As  yet  nf)  War  Committee  to  organize  Williams'  contribution  to  the  war 
effort  has  been  established.

"Could  you  look  a  <l\ing  man  in  the

ence  and  apathy  of  manv  Americans  to 
the  horrors  of  the  conflict  raging  all 
about  them. 

\'iciously  attacking  the  "cream  pufl" 
life  of  many  Americans,  journalist  St.

and  ghastly  scenes  he  had  witnessed

Bomb  After  Bomb 

While  in  the  city  of  Corinth,  Greece, 
the  newspaperman  witnessed  the  German 
bombing  of  a  Greek  hospital  train. 
Flying  in  low,  the  enemy  planes  dropped  I  P'»g'-''  ^nd  for  endorsing  Mr.  Woodward's 


For  some  weeks  prior  to  the  Amherst- 
Williams  football  game  last  Saturday, 
Stanle\  Woodward,  sports  editor  of  the 
New  \'()rk  Herald  Tribune,  indulged  his 
journalislic  sense  of  humor  by  directing  a 
barragi'  of  derogatory  remarks  at  Wil- 
liams, its  football  team,  its  coach,  and  the 
student  body  in  general.  His  implica- 
tions regarding  alleged  professionals  play- 
ing for  Williams  and  his  remarks  on  the 
alcoholic  capacity  of  Williams  men's 
stomachs  were  obviously  blows  below  the 
belt.  I  n  spite  of  Mr.  Woodward's  avowed 
aim,  which  he  revealed  last  Friday  morn- 
ing in  the  Amherst  chapel,  when  he  said 
that  his  diatribes  were  designed  as  "a 
trap  to  catch  tho.se  suckers,"  most  Wil- 
liams men  thought  it  rather  apparent  that 
Mr.  W'(jcjdward  was  blowing  his  own  horn, 
and  not  acting  as  a  spokesman  for  Am- 
herst College.  Nor  do  we  think  that  our 
football  team  was  trapped  by  the  ubiquit- 
ous Ml.  Woodward  on  Pratt  Field  last 
Saturda>.  They  were  beaten  fairly  by 
superior  play — two  requirements  that 
certainly  do  not  fit  the  New  ^'l)rk  cor- 
respondent. 

As  long  as  Mr.  Woodward  confined  him- 
self to  the  pages  of  the  Herald  Tribune,  it 
seenu'd  obvious  that  Amherst  men,  as  well 
as  Williams  men,  must  object  to  the  type  of 
puhlieitv  they  were  getting  in  New  York 
and  throughout  the  nation.  But  in  the  post- 
game  I'xlra  of  the  Amherst  Sludenl,  out 
last  Saturday,  appeared  some  "\'iews  of 
Sports,"  in  which  Mr.  Woodward  under- 
took to  deliver  himself  of  some  oracular 
.statements  intended  as  advici'  lo  under- 
graduates of  both  Amherst  and  Williams. 
He  recommended  that  Amherst  men  dis- 
card their  "mackinaws  and  cow-boots.  .  . 
which  ilo  not  ordinarily  appeal  lo  Williams 
sensibilities."  He  recommended  that  Wil- 
liams men  discard  their  hauteur,  which 
is  not  only  annoying  to  Amherst  men,  but 
"heaxen  knows...  is  tough  enough  for 
anyone  to  take."  In  place  of  the  alleged 
Williams  hauteur  he  suggested  we  get 
"tough."  These  recommendations  are 
Mr.  Woodward's  hopes  for  the  future. 
But  "right  now,"  he  says,  "w^e  don't  like 
von,  and  somehow  we  don't  think  you  like 
us  either." 

For  these  brilliant  remarks  the 
chairman  of  the  Student  expressed  his 
"gratitude,"  and  thanked  Mr.  Woodward 
for  "stopping  long  enough  from  the 
pursuit  of  weekend  revelry  to  produce  this 
crolumn  for  the  readers  of  the  paper." 
The  editor  went  on  to  say.  "We  want  him 
lo  know  that.  .  .in  his  sentiments.  .  .we  are 
behind  him  to  a  man."  We  at  Williams 
appreciate  Mr.  Woodward's  condescention 
(we  don't  like  that  word  "hauteur")  in 
advising  us  how  to  conduct  ourselves  on 
the  Amherst  campus  in  the  future.  And 
acting  on  his  advice  we  would  like  to  pull 
on  our  cow-boots  and  express  our  dis- 
appointment with  the  Student  for  printing 
such  puerile  comments  on  their  editorial

1944  Gargoyle  Tapping 
Set  for  Dec.   or  Jan. 

Triulition  will  be  radicalK'  broken 
this  winter  when  for  the  first  time  in 
forty-eight  years  the  Gargoyle  .Sociel\' 
will  tap  its  junior  delegation  in  either 
January  or  December  and  hold  the 
annual  ceremony  in  Chapin  Hall 
instead  of  on  the  lab  campus.  Fast 
•spring  the  accelerated  college  program 
advanced  the  tapping  from  the  custom- 
ary date  of  Memorial  Day  to  May  2. 
Gargoyle  President  C.  Gorham 
Phillips  '43  stated  that  if  announce- 
ment of  the  calling  of  the  AERC  be- 
fore graduation  comes  within  the  next 
two  weeks,  tap  day  will  be  sometime 
in  December.  If  no  such  announce-

bomb  after  bomb  on  the  unprotected 
train  laden  with  wotinded  and  suffering 
men.  The  smell  of  burning  flesh,  "sick- 
ening sweet",  filled  the  air  as  the  train 
caught  fire  trapping  many  of  the  injured 
men. 

After  the  death-dealers  had  completed 
their  bloody  mission,  a  handful  of  Greek 
nurses  (doctors  are  at  a  premium)  he- 
roically set  to  work  aiding  the  men  who 
had  some  chance  for  survival.  "Flopeless" 
cases  and  dismembered  parts  of  human 
bodies  were  placed  together  in  one  large 
pile  in  the  attempt  to  restore  order  from 
chaos.  Through  that  mass  of  broken 
liones,  arms,  legs,  and  nia.shed  heads, 
correspondent  St.  John  later  conducted 
a  search  because  he  had  hearti  that  there 
was    an    American    in  it. 

'Straight  from  Shoulder' 

St.  John  also  spoke  "straight  from  the 
shoulder"  when  he  described  the  brutal 
attack  on  a  British  hospital  for  th<'  blind. 
With  no  military  reason  for  the  attack 
and  no  military  objective  near,  German 
fighter  planes  not  only  bombanled  the 
hospital  but  machine-gunned  victims 
lucky  enough   to  survive. 

Returning  to  the  attitude  of  most 
Americans  to  the  war,  the  traveler  ex- 
pressed satisfaction  with  mosi  of  his 
countrymen  but  denounced  individuals 
who  believe  that  they  are  helping  to  win 
the  war  by  buying  quart  bottles  of  beer 
insti-ad  of  pints  in  order  to  siive  the  metal 
caps.  Hoarders  and  advertisements  such 
as  the  New  ^'ork  department  store's 
$300  air  raid  warden's  outfit  under  the 
motto:  "Be  chic  while  you're  being 
patriotic,"  tlisgusted  this  man  who  has 
seen   the   Nazi  tyrannj-   at  its   bitterest. 


sentiments."  If  we  must  be  brutal,  we 
would  like  to  say  that  in  adopting  and 
supporting  Mr.  Wooduard,  the  Student 
has  adopted  his  journalistic  tactics,  which 
are  nothing  to  express  "graditudc"  for. 
Mr.  Woodward  didn't  stop  long  enough 
from  the  weekend  revelry  to  write  much 
of  a  column.  Apparently  the  Student 
didn't  stop  at  all. 

The  rumor  thai  a  faculty  meeting  has 
already  decided  to  follow  Cnrnell's  lead,  and 
abolish  the  regular  Christmas  vacation  in 
favor  of  a  single  holiday  December  25,  is 
without  foundation,  according  lo  a  denial 
issued  from  the  president's  office  yesterday. 
The  ODC,  however,  has  as  yet  made  no 
definite  announcement  of  their  position  on 
this  matter. 

The  recent  practice  nf  certain  individu- 
als in  answering  to  the  roll  call  for  five 
or  six  of  their  friends  in  P.T.  classes  is  both 
a  violation  of  the  spirit  of  fair  play  and 
honor  expected  of  a  Williams  man,  and 
an  attack  on  the  war  effort  through 
sabotaging  the  physical   fitness  program. 

The  rumor  that  all  Marine  Candidate 
Class  men  will  be  called  for  active  service 
December  7  is  incorrect,  Dr.  Samuel  A. 
Matthews  announced  today.  The  basis 
for  the  belief  is  undoubtedly  the  statement  of 
Captain  Morgan  of  the  Marine  Corps  al 
the  joint  procurement  meeting  Monday 
night  that  "A  change  is  now  being  made  in 
Marine  plans.  After  December  7,  those 
men  that  are  called  from  3D  will  be  sent 
for  twenty-four  weeks  of  basic  training." 
Dr.  Matthews  explained  that  "the  college 
graduate  members  of  class  3D  will  be  called 
first.  But  at  present  there  is  no  change  in 
plans  for  calling  up  the  reserves."

by  Rollo  Smith's  eighl\ -eight  yard  punt, 
the  Eph  eleven  made  an  inspired  stand 
on  their  own  two  and  kicked  out  to  their 
own  forty-three.  But  the  Sabrinas  punch- 
ed back,  and  Chick  Koebel  went  over  his 
left  tackle  to  tie  the  game  at  6-6.  A  poor 
pass  from  center  gave  the  Williams  line 
time  enough  to  smother  the  e.\tra  point 
thai  nnght  have  put  Amherst  ahead. 

Minutes  later  Rollo  Smith's  pa.ss  was 
caught  by  Bob  Agnew  as  defenseman 
Gimner  Hayes  just  missed  knocking  it 
down.  The  extra  point  was  missed,  and 
Andierst  fought  off  a  vicious  Williams 
attempt  to  tally  again.

To  Pre-Season  Practice 

Promising     Recruits     Aid 
Green    Team's   Chances 

Under  the  watchful  care  of  Coach  Ed 
Bullock,  one  of  the  largest  wrestling 
squads  in  college  history  has  been  rounding 
intt)  shape  for  the  past  two  weeks  in 
preparation  for  the  winter  schedule. 
Led  by  Captain  Rob  Jones,  ace  Purple 
grappler  who  walked  off  with  the  175- 
pound  laurels  at  the  New  England  Colle- 
giate championships  last  year,  the  squad 
has  been  concentrating  on  basic  holds 
and  positions,  and  will  be  ready  for 
regular  practice  matches  soon.

looms  as  the  number  one  threat  of  the 
season,  with  an  undefeated  record  behind 
him  in    last  winter's  bouks. 

Kspecially  noticeable  are  the  absences

'Competition   Exceptionally  Close' 

Richard  G.  KiiiK.  1944  manager,  stated 
that  "The  reason  for  the  change  in  policy- 
having  co-managers  instead  of  the  usual 
winner  in  sophomore  year — is  because  the 
competition  was  exeeptionalK'  close  and 
any  other  decision  would  he  unfair.  The 
three  compets  this  year  did  the  work 
that  ten  men  did  in  previous  seasons. 

Goodhart  comes  from  Syracuse,  N,  Y.,

Barter,  5  Veterans 
Lead  Court  Drills 

Captain  Sends  23  Men 
Through  Ground  Work 
in      Burnett's      Absence 

Tnder  the  leadership  of  Captain  Jack 
Barter,  twenty-three  varsity  basketball 
candidates  have  been  working  out  on  their 
own  for  the  past  three  weeks  in  Lasell 
Gym.  Coach  Dale  Burnett  is  not  ex- 
pected to  return  to  Williams  from  his 
football  coaching  position  with  the  Patter- 
son (N.  J.)  Panthers  until  December  first 
so  Barter  is  sending  the  scpiad  through 
drills  in  ball  handling  and  defense  in 
preparation  for  a  jjroposeil  Iwelvc-ganie 
schedule. 

Saw  a  Lot  of  Action 

Barter,  high  scorer  last  season  with  116 
points  in  twelve  j;ames,  tops  six  returning 
Icttermcn  from  the  1941-42  Little  Three 
runnerup  team.  Don  Lindsay,  Roy  Tolles, 
Bob  Wallace,  who  will  join  the  practices 
next  week,  and  Barter  were  all  on  the 
starting  quintet  while  John  Bridgewater 
and  Monk  Stanley  played  a  lot  of  ball 
all  through  the  season. 

Ten  sophomores,  most  of  whom  saw 
action  on  the  hot  freshman  team  of  a  year 
ago,  comprise  the  boih  of  the  squad.  Dick 
Hole,  Carl  Gruber,  and  Dick  Cobden 
held  down  positions  on  the  first  five  with 
Holt  and  Nes  Bangs  and  Andy  Knox 
playing  in  the  alternate  group.  Bole  and 
Bolt  Bangs  led  the  1945  scoring  as  the 
varsity  barely  nosed  out  this  fast-breaking 
outfit  in  a  game  last  February,  56-52. 
Possibility  of  Frosh  Five 

So  far  no  freshmen  ha\('  been  working 
out  with  the  upperclassmen.  Several 
have  handed  their  names  in  to  Hartcr, 
but  nothing  has  been  decided  about  the 
policy  toward  the  yearlings.  It  is  still 
quite  possible  that  a  1946  team  will  be 
organi/etl   iiiuler  Coach   Dick  Colman. 

The  varsity  schedule  has  not  been 
officialK-  released.  To  date  seven  games 
on  a  planned  twelve-game  calendar  have 
been  confirmed  and  the  return  of  Spring- 
field to  the  Purple  court  list  after  a  lapse 
of  several  years  is  in  the  offing.  Trans- 
portation problems  and  vacation  conflicts 
with  Amherst  and  Wesle\an  have  com- 
plicated the  scheduling  problem.  The 
opening  date  will  probably  be  December  5. 


Football  Team  Breaks 
College  Runback  Record 

Paced  by  Bill  Schmidt's  five  touch- 
down runs,  the  varsity  football  team 
has  broken  the  all-time  collegiate 
record  for  average  distance  of  run- 
backs  of  punts.  In  runs  from  fifty- 
three  to  seventy-five  yards  long  the 
purple  break-away  artists  have  aver- 
aged 24.6  yards  per  punt  return. 
This  is  despite  a  goose  egg  chalked  up 
in  the  runback  division  of  Amherst 
statistics.  The  old  record  was  set 
last  year  when  Colgate  averaged  18.6 
\ards  per  try.

It'sall  over  now  except  for  the  inevitable 
Monda\  morning  quarterbacking  and  re- 
hashing, and  it  is  hard  to  believe  that  the 
beautiful  dream  of  seeing  the  first  unde- 
feated and  untied  football  team  in  Wil- 
liams' history  has  been  shattered.  It  is 
easy  tosecond  guess  any  football  game,  but 
at  the  risk  of  being  considered  a  grand- 
stand quarterback,  we  are  going  to  men- 
tion a  few  things  which  were  noticed  last 
Saturday.  .Mthough  others  have  already 
mentioned  most  of  them,  the  following 
observations  are  made  entirely  from  a 
Williams    viewpoint. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  last  Saturda\- 
Amher.st  had  a  better  football  team  than 
Williams.  Its  line  was  consistently  get- 
ting the  jump  both  offensively  ami  de- 
fensively, particularly 
I'iled  Uj)  when  they  were  on   the 

Behind  I.iiH'  defense.  Time  and  again 
Williams'  running  plays 
were  piled  up  behind  the  line  of  scrimmage 
because  the  middle  of  the  Amherst  line 
was  charging  faster  than  Williams.  This 
was  most  noticeable  when  Stiegman  pulled 
out  to  lead  the  interference,  and  Kimball, 
number  73,  came  rushing  through  the 
hole.  .Any  number  of  times  he  tackled 
ballcarriers,  especially  Hayes,  before  they 
coud  gel  started,  and  it  was  hard  to  .see 
any  man  on  the  field  who  played  a  better 
game  than  this  big,  fast  guard. 

The  sloppy  ground  conditions  were  un- 
doubtedly a  blessing  to  the  bigger,  harder- 
running  Amherst  backs.  Hayes  and 
Scbmidl  rely  for  their  elTectiveness, 
deceplion,  and  speed  upon  their  ability 
to  cut  fast,  and  this  was  impossible  on  a 
field  that  was  covered  with  mudily  areas, 
despite  the  extreme  cold.  The  biting 
wind  was  a  tremendous  advantage  to  the 
team  that  had  it  at  its  back,  but  Amherst 
took  far  more  advantage  of  this  than 
Williams  did.  Smith's  punt,  travelling 
sevent>-six  yards  from  the  scrimmage  line 
was  the  longest  we  have  ever  seen, 
and  put  Williams  in  a  hole  from  which  it 
never  recovered.  Just  why 
Less  Than  Powers  was  so  intent  on 
20  YarcLs  kicking  out  of  bounds,  and 

thereby  averaging  less  than 
twent)-  yards  a  kick  when  he  was  going 
against  the  wind,  we  don't  know.  Gruber 
and  Wallace  were  certainly  down  fast 
enough  to  get  the  safety  man,  and  by 
angling  his  kicks  as  he  did.  Powers  failed 
to  accomplish  the  one  thing  Williams  really 
needed  after  they  got  their  six  points: 
lliey  had  to  get  out  of  the  shadow  of  their 
own  goal  line  and  get  olT  the  defensive, 
which  was  becoming  desperate. 

Despite  all  of  Charlie  Caldwell's  warn- 
ings that  this  was  going  to  be  a  tougher 
game  than  Princeton,  we  couldn't  help 
hut  get  the  feeling  that  everyone  was  a 
little  too  sure  of  himself.  Perhaps  this  is 
unjustified,  but  the  feeling  was  certainly 
prevalent  in  the  Williams  stands,  where  it 
was  believed  to  be  just  a  matter  of  time 
before  Ha\es  or  Schmidt 
llreak  Loose  would  break  loose  a 
l''<>r  Scores  couple  of  times  and  sew 

up  the  game.  Amherst 
(luickly  proved  how  wrong  this  was,  and 
exploded  the  myth  held  b\  many  that  this 
Williams  team  was  so  fast  and  high-power- 
ed that  it  couldn't  be  beaten.  The  team 
had  gotten  along  all  right  up  until  last 
weekend  without  any  passing  threat  to 
speak  of,  and  still  less  pass  defense,  but 
Amherst  showed  them  how  badly  they 
needed  both.  The  explanation  for  the 
loss  is  really  quite  simple.

is  expected  at  practice  next  week. 

As  yet  only  one  match  has  been  con- 
tracted for  the  team,  although  others 
arc  expected  within  the  next  few  weeks. 
The  one  certain  date  is  that  with  Spring- 
field January  30.  Coach  Bullock  will  not 
know  until  the  schedules  are  completely 
lined  up  whether  there  is  to  be  a  separate 
freshman  team.

WILLIAMS  COLLEGE, 


FRIDAY,  DECEMBER  1,  1942 


No.  21 


January  16^7  Date 
Set  for  Curtailed 
Annual  Conference 

Roper  and  Walsh  Accept 
Bids  to  Speak  on  'War 
and    Peace'    at    Session 

by  Peter  D.  Silverstone  '45 

Compact,  direct,  and  geared  specifical- 
ly to  the  needs  of  college  men  who  are 
about  to  go  to  war,  the  annual  Williams 
Conference  on  current  affairs,  called  this 
year  "War  and  Peace,"  will  be  held 
Saturday  and  Sunday,  January  16  and  17, 
it  was  announced  this  week  by  the  Lecture 
Committee's  appointed  Conference  Chair- 
man L.  Marshall  Van  Deusen  '44. 
Few  Big  Names 

For  several  years  an  event  attracting 
nationwide  attention  because  of  the  calibre 
and  reknown  of  participating  speakers  and 
the  pertinence  of  topics  discussed,  the 
Conference  was  formerly  held  in  the  spring, 
drawing  crowds  of  interested  spectators 
froiii  all  over  the  East.  This  season, 
owing  to  the  curtailment  of  civilian  travel 
by  the  Onr,  few  "big-name"  men  who 
would  draw  a  large  number  of  visitors  to 
Williamstown  have  been  invited,  although 
those  who  have  been  asked  are  all  experts 
and  recognized  authorities  in  the  fields  of 
economics,  government  administration, 
military  and  political  science,  and  soci- 
ology. They  include  many  of  the  Wil- 
liams faculty  now  In  war  service. 
Walsh  and  Roper 

Acceptance  has  already  been  received 
from  Elmo  Roper,  director  of  the  Fortune 
public  opinion  poll,  who  is  now  working  in 
the  Office  of  War  Information.  Prof. 
J.  Raymond  Walsh,  noted  labor  economist 
and  popular  faculty  member  who  resigned 
two  months  ago  to  become  the  Director 
of  Education  and  Research  for  the  CIO, 
has  also  consented  to  head  a  round  table, 
it  was  announced  by  Chairman  Van 
Deusen. 

Rather  than  being  a  show  for  the  public, 
this  year's  conference  will  be  directed  to 
the  students  as  a  means  for  giving  them 
concrete  thoughts  on  "War  and  Peace" 
before  they  go  Into  the  armed  services, 
many  of  them  a  month  later.  Dr.  Max 
Lerner  has  suggested  as  a  subtitle  for  the 
Conference,  "Ideas  for  the  Knapsack," 
for  the  contributions  of  visiting  authorities 
will  be  valuable  to  fighting  men  and  to 
men  who  must  plan  a  post-war  world. 
de  Losada  and  Lin  Yutang 

Others   who  have   been    invited   to  the 
Conference  include  Senator  Claude  Pepper,

Alonzo  Hearne  '42  Dies 
In  Night  Club  Disaster 

Companion  A.  V.  Lee  '42 
Escapes    Harm    in    Fire 

Alonzo  G.  Hearne,  Jr.  '42  was  among 
the  490  victims  of  last  Saturday  night's 
tragedy  at  the  Cocoanut  Grove  In  Boston, 
when  a  fire,  started  either  by  the  match  of 
a  busboy  or  faulty  electrical  connections, 
reduced  the  once  gay  restaurant  and  dance 
hall  to  a  smoking  shambles  in  less  than  an 
hour.  Hearne,  an  ensign  in  the  Naval 
Reserve,  was  attached  to  the  Navy 
Supply  Corps  and  had  been  stationed  at 
the  Harvard  Supply  School  at  the  time 
of  his  death. 

The  exact  nature 
of  Hearne's  death 
has  not  yet  been, 
and  may  never  be, 
ascertained.  It  is 
generally  believed 
that  he  had  enter- 
ed the  night  club 
with  a  former  Wil- 
liams classmate, 
Arthur  V.  Lee. 
Sometime  during 
the  evening,  the  friends  became  separated. 
When  the  fire  burst  forth  in  the  Melody 
Lounge  directly  beneath  the  main  floor 
of  the  Cocoanut  Grove,  Lee  was  able  to 
escape  from  the  fire  trap,  before  the  flames, 
travelling  with  terrifying  rapidity,  closed 
off  those  exits  which  hhd  not  been  locked 
or  bolted.

After  A   Year 

Four  Navy  men  visited  Williamstown  Tuesday  to  discuss  possible 
arrangements  for  accommodating  Navy  trainees  at  the  college. — President 
Jame.s  P.  Baxter,  IJrd. 

It'.s  been  a  year  now  —  a  year  of  war,  a  year  of  liale,  a  year  of  change. 
The  change,  or  most  of  it,  lia.s  been  for  the  better.  War  lias  given  u.s  a 
laboratory  in  which  to  test  our  institutions  and  traditions;  war  has  pro- 
vided an  opportunity  to  weed  the  bad  from  the  good.  The  college  has 
slowly  adapted  itself  to  a  wartime  existence;  some  of  the  manifestations 
of  that  gradual  change  appear  in  the  headlines,  all  from  the  post-Pearl 
Harbor  issues  of  this  newspaper,  printed  above.  The  speed-up,  the 
streamlined  curriculum,  the  new  physical  program,  Campus  Business 
Management,  and  other  moves  for  economy  were  all  stei).s  in  the  direction 
of  filling  the  place,  if  such  there  be,  of  a  liberal  arts  college  in  wartime. 

It  now  appears  Williams  will  undergo  the  greatest  change  of  all. 
President  Baxter's  statement  last  Tuesday  revealed  little  that  Williams 
men  do  not  already  know.  That  the  Navy  will  have  a  number  of  trainees 
here  before  February  seems  almost  certain.  The  Presitlent's  Office, 
however,  has  not  released  any  information  regarding  an  agreement  with 
the  Navy.  We  are  not,  nor  is  anyone  not  connected  with  the  President's 
Office,  now  in  the  position  to  confirm  or  deny  rumors  that  have  been 
circulating  on  campus.  Should  such  an  agreement  be  reached,  however, 
it  will  be  the  final  measure  of  i)articipation. 

But  much  of  the  Williams  of  December,  1941,  has  stayed  around. 
Fifty-seven  of  us  left  for  the  armed  service,  but  the  rest,  those  who  could

Pearl  Harbor  Anniversary  to  Find 
Williams  Active  on  All  War  Fronts 

1200  Alumni,  Half  Student  Body,  15  Faculty 
Connected  with  National   Services 

by  Charles  H.  Heuer  '4.S 

Despite  studt'iit  apath)'  towards  scrap  and  stamp  drives,  Williams  is  gradually 
bung  converted  Id  a  wart  mc  institution, icoritributing  manpower,  speed-up  educa- 
tion, and  civilian  participation  in  the  war  effort. 

A  year  after  I'earl  Harbor,  over  1200  Williams  alumni  arc  active  in  .Mlied  armed 
forces,  nearly  half  of  the  undergraduate  body  has  enlisted  in  the  reserve  corps  of 
I'icfs,     and     fifty-seven* 


the  various  servic 
students  have  resigned  from  college  to 
enter  active  service.  Thirteen  Williams 
inen  have  lost  their  lives  during  the  first 
year  of  war,  and  five  more  have  been 
listed  as  injured,  captured,  or  missing. 
Army,  Nuvy,  Farms 

Student  enlist  nieius  have  been  divided 
largely  between  the  Army  Enlisted  Re- 
serve Corps  and  the  various  Naval  Re- 
serves. The>  lia\e  sworn  in  181  and  10'< 
men  respectively,  while  the  Army  Air 
Corps  and  the  Marine  Corps  have  totaled 
thirty-nine.  Students  have  also  volunteer- 
ed labor  to  the  surrounding  farms,  helping 
to  relieve  the  farm  labor  shortage. 

The  manpower  contribution  has  not 
stopped  with  students  and  alumni.  Fifteen 
members  of  the  faculty  have  been  granted 


leaves  of  absence  to  take  upwartimework. 
Pres.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  while  no  longer 
on  leave  of  absence,  is  still  working  two 
days  a  week  in  Washington. 

Towards  Physical,  Technical 

The  college,  its  calendar,  curriculum, 
and  athletic  program  have  been  drastically 
revised  in  an  effort  to  adapt  a  liberal  arts 
college  to  the  needs  of  the  war  effort. 
Working  on  a  three-semester  year,  the 
college  program  has  turned  toward  an 
emphasis  on  physical  fitness  and  technical 
study  never  before  realized  at  Williams. 

Compulsory  P  T  has  been  extended  to 
all  undergraduates,  and  although  enforce- 
ment  was   slow    in   being    realized,     the 
physical    education    department    is    now

New  Indoor  Obstacle  Run/Patriotic'  Football 
Link  Amherst  Athletics  with  War  Effort 


An  indoor  obstacle  course  and  increased 
emphasis  on  intramural  and  PT  sports 
will  keynote  Amherst's  winter  athletic 
program  in  an  attempt  to  link  Lord  Jeff 
activities  even  more  closely  with  the  war 
effort  than  extensive  PT  play  and  "patri- 
otic" football  did  this  fall.  With  wrestl- 
ing already  dropped  and  swimming  on  the 
way  out,  the  intercollegiate  schedule  has 
been  drastically  cut  and  will  probably  be 
limited  to  basketball. 

Through  a  Tire 

Believed  to  be  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the 
country,  the  new  obstacle  course  will  be  a 
regular  part  of  the  coming  physical  educa- 
tion program.  Designed  by  Al  Lumley, 
Jeff  track  coach,  the  Pratt  Cage  run  is 
172  yards  long,  contains  all  the  events  of 
the  outside  course,  closer  together  and  in 
tougher  form,  and  features  a  new  trick, 
diving  through  a  rubber  tire  suspended 
four  feet  in  the  air.  Rope  climbing,  rope 
swinging,  and  running  on  tree  stumps  are 
novelties  of  Lumley's  course  which  have 
been  sacrificed  for  other  emphases  in  the 
Williams  set-up. 

The  indoor  commando  course  was  used 


publically  for  the  first  time  November  14 
in  Amherst's  third  sports  exhibition  since 
June.  This  time  alumni  and  Williams 
men  were  the  guests  as  eight  Purple  and 
White  athletes  raced  Springfield  in  time 
and  form  trials.  Commando  swimming 
tactics,  much  the  same  as  those  stressed 
by  swimming  Coach  Bob  Muir  at  Wil- 
liams, and  a  group  obstacle  demonstration 
followed.  Earlier  in  the  year  the  Jeff 
students  met  two  Army  teams  on  the 
outdoor    course, 

'Preparadnew  for  Service' 
During  the  past  fall  all  Amherst's  sports 
have  been  pointed  toward  preparation  for 
military  service.  Intramural  obstacle  races 
have  been  included  in  the  regular  social 
group  competitions,  and  varsity  sports, 
according  to  Lloyd  P.  Jordan,  director  of 
athletics,  have  lost  some  of  their  inter- 
collegiate competition  flavor  and  arc  re- 
modeled on  a  "preparedness  for  service" 
basis. 

At  the  rally  at  Amherst  before  the  foot- 
ball game,  CoacB  Jordan  told  alumni  and 
students  that  his  football  practices  had

Gunner  Hayes 

Grid  Team  Elects 
Hayes  1943  Captain 

Backfield  Star  Praised 
by  Expert  Bill  Stearn; 
Banquet  This  Thursday 

Robert  G.  "Gunner"  Hayes  '44,  power- 
laden  tailback  of  this  fall's  once-beaten 
eleven,  was  elected  capiain  of  the  1943 
team  al  a  meeting  of  the  entire  squad  last 
week.  For  the  past  two  seasons  Ha\cs 
has  been  a  first-string  performer  on  the 
varsity,  pacing  the  ground  and  aerial 
attack  from  his  halfback  post. 

Princeton  Weekend's  Best 

Out  of  service  a  good  part  of  this  year's 
campaign  owing  to  an  ankle  injury  suffered 
in  the  early  Princeton  game,  Hayes  was 
not  able  to  see  full-time  duty  in  most  of 
the  succeeding  victories  and  was  slowed 
down  coiisideraljly  for  the  remainder  of 
the  season.  A  53-yard  runback  of  a 
Princeton  punt  for  the  touchdown  that 
put  Williams  out  in  front  of  its  favored 
rival,  and  a  25-yard  pass  for  another 
touchdown  later  in  the  same  game  was  the 
basis  of  spurts  expert  Bill  Stern's  choice  of 
Hayes  as  tlii'  outstanding  Eastern  gridster 
of  that  weekend.  Defensive  work  at  half- 
back and  In  safety  slot  by  the  captain- 
elect  was  Instrumental  in  keeping  op- 
position scoring  to  46  points  for  the  season, 
compared  with  256  for  the  Purple. 

' ...  In  These  Times' 

Asked  about  the  possibilities  for  foot- 
ball next  season,  Hayes  declared,  "The 
chances,  of  course,  are  uncertain,  but  I 
think  the  authorities  will  encourage  foot- 
ball if  they  can.  It's  good  training,  par- 
ticularly in  these  times." 

Coming  to  Williams  from  E.xeter,  Hayes 
is  a  Tyng  Scholar  and  vice-president  of 
Delta  Kappa  Epsiloii.  Besides  playing 
football,  he  is  an  outfielder  on  the  varsity 
baseball  team,  and  is  at  present  out  for 
the  basketball  s(|uad.  He  succeeds  Wil- 
liam F.  Courter  '4,?  as  captain  of  the 
eleven. 

The  football  season  will  be  brought  to 
its  official  termination  next  Thursday 
night,  according  to  Coach  Charlie  Cald- 
well, when  the  squad  will  be  banqueted  at 
the  Pittsfield  Countrv  Club. 


Local  Schools  Outatrip 

College  War  Pledge 

A  sixty  per  cent  undergraduate 
representaticjp  in  War  Stamp  pledges 
leaves  Williams  far  in  the  wake  of  the 
local  grammar  and  high  schools,  which 
are  at  present  contributing  over  $75 
more  pef  week  than  the  sum  promis- 
ed by  the  college  students. 

With  an  enrollment  of  almost  800, 
the  Williamstown  students  aiie  giving 
an  average  of  $325  every  week,  while 
college  undergraduates  are  expected 
to  hand  in  approximately  $225  as  their 
contribution.  One  of  the  few  notice- 
ably bright  notes  in  the  drive  is  the 
pledge  of  one  senior  to  buy  a  $25 
bond  each  month. 


Joseph  Harsch  '27 
Analyst,  Reporter, 
Lecturing    Sunday 

Author  of  'Pattern  of 
Conquest'  Was  at  Pearl 
Harbor  During  Bombing 

Exactly  one  year  after  he  watched  the 
first  Japanese  bombs  strike  Pearl  Harbor 
and  plunge  the  I'nited  States  Into  World 
War  II,  Joseph  C.  Harsch  '27,  famed 
Williams  graduate,  author,  and  foreign 
correspondent,  will  speak,  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Lecture  Committee,  in 
Jesup  Hall  Sunday  at  7:45  p.m.  on  the 
subject,  "How  the  War  Is  (joiiig." 
'The   Best   Guide' 

Long  a  foreign  correspondent  for  the 
Christian  Science  Monitor,  Mr.  Harsch 
spent  several  years  in  Europe  watching 
Hitler's  rise  and  the  decline  of  democratic 
diplomacy.  The  fruits  of  his  research 
were  compiled  In  the  book,  Pattern  of 
Conquest,  published  in  August,  1941. 
This  work  has  been  called  by  a  noted 
critic  "the  best  guide  to  an  understanding 
of  present-(la\  Germany  and  its  alms  yet 
offered  the  Ame'rlcan  public." 

Quitting  Berlin  for  an  Hawaiian  vaca- 
tion in  late  1941,  Harsch  was  not  destined 
to  escape  work,  as  he  found  himself  in 
the  midst  of  the  Pearl  Harbor  raid. 
Plunging  into  the  task  of  reporting  the 
war  In  the  Pacific,  Mr.  Harsch  began  a 
series  for  the  Monitor,  and  wrote  several 
special  features  for  the  New  York  Times. 
He  has  just  returned  from  the  South 
Pacific,  where  he  spent  some  time  at 
General  MacArthur's  headquarters. 
Foundation  with  Newhall 

As  an  undergraduate  at  Williams  frr>m 
1923  to  1927,  Harsch  laid  a  foundation 
for  his  reporting  work  by  studying  under 
Prof.  Kichard  A.  Newhall  the  writings  of 
Jean  Froissart,  fourteenth  century  his- 
torian and  ractJiiieui .  Di.  Newhall  has 
called  Harsch's  work  "one  of  the  most 
successful  projects  I  have  ever  had  with  a 
senior."  Harsch  was  business  manager 
of  the  Graphic  campus  llterar\'  magazine, 
forerunner  to  the  Sketch  and  Purple  Cow. 
He  was  a  member  of  Cap  iS;  Bells,  and 
attended  meetings  of  the  Cerclc  Franqaise. 

After  his  graduation,  Harsch  spent 
two  years  at  Corpus  Christi  College  in 
Cambridge,  England,  from  whence,  in 
1930,  lie  went  directly  into  the  Wash- 
ington Bureau  of  the  Monitor.  In  1936 
he  covered  the  London  Naval  Conference. 
From  October,  1939  to  January,  1941, 
he  wrote  from  Berlin,  analyzing  and  re- 
porting the  Nazi  regime.

concei)tion  of  his  role  had  changed  but  little  after  twelve  month.s  of  war 
Student-farmer  work  programs,  petitions  to  Congres.s,  scrap  metal  and 
War  Stamp  drives  —  these  were  the  work  of  the  few  rather  than  the 
many.  The  undergraduate  responded  to  the  summer  semester  with  the 
highest  warning  rate  in  six  years;  to  the  streamlined  P.T.  program  with 
unlimited  cutting  and,  in  some  cases,  dishonorable  violation  of  college 
regulations.  In  the  box  (see  column  4  on  page  1)  is  his  response  to 
the  War  Stam))  Drive. 

Williams  is  now  entering  its  second  year  of  wartime  existence.  The 
proposed  accommodation  of  Naval  trainees  may  he  the  first  indication 
of  complete  participation  in  the  nation's  war  effort,  of  the  end  of  apathy 
and  vacillation.

NOTICE 


When  The  Record  went  to  press  last 
night,  the  following  were  in  the  Thompson 
Infirmary:  Bridgewater  '44,  Boynton  '45, 
O.  J.  Hart  '45,  and  Runals  '45. 

Matthews  Named 
To  EC  Advisorship 

Post  to  Promote  Added 
Cooperation  Between 
Faculty    and     Students 

The  E.xecutive  Committee  took  the  first 
step  toward  more  faculty-student  co- 
operation in  solving  mutual  problems  last 
week  when  it  voted  to  have  Samuel  A. 
Matthews,  assistant  professor  of  biology, 
sit  in  on  EC  meeting  which  concern  sub- 
jects of  interest  to  both  student  and 
faculty.  Mr.  Matthews  has  accepted  I  he 
position  and  will  represent  the  faculty  in  a 
non-voting  capacity. 

Matters  of  Mutual  Interest 

In  announcing  this  decision,  Committee 
President  John  Bridgewater,  III  '44  said 
"this  move  has  been  made  so  that  the  EC 
will  have  a  chance  to  know  how  the  faculty 
.stands  on  matters  of  mutual  interest,  and, 
equally  important,  so  that  students' 
views  could  have  representation  at  faculty 
discussions." 

Bridgewater  also  announced  that  Allen 
W.  Swain  '44  has  been  named  chairman 
of  the  new  Driving  Committee,  made  up 
of  all  six  members  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee. Enforcement  of  the  rules  is  now 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  EC,  but 
penalties  will  be  the  same  as  under  the 
old  Undergraduate  Council.  The  Com- 
mittee asks  for  absolute  compliance  to 
the  non-Williamstown  driving  regulation 
both  as  a  patriotic  move  in  eliminating 
unnecessary  use  of  cars  and  as  an  aid  to 
keeping  in  good  physical  condition. 
New  System  for  Numerals 

The  IPC  also  made  provisions  for  junior 
varsity  football  awards.  Freshmen  recom- 
mended by  the  coach  have  received 
numerals,  while  upperclassmen  will  be 
eligible  for  minor  letters.  Any  freshman 
who  was  on  the  varsity  squad  and  did  not 
earn  a  major  letter  may  receive  numerals 
on  recommendation  by  the  coach.  In 
joint  action  with  the  Purple  Key,  the  IFC 
recommended  the  awarding  of  numerals 
to  varsity  managerial  compels. 

December  18  was  recommended  by  the 
Council  as  the  date  for  coming  fraternity 
initiations. 


Stamp  Sales  Drive 
Begun  Wednesday 

500     Pledges     Recorded; 

Kaps,  Phi   Gams,  Saints 

Give  Plan  100%  Support 

The  Williams  Victory  Committee  has 
wound  up  final  preparations  for  the  All 
College  stamp  drive  which  swung  into 
action  this  week.  Although  preliminary 
arrangements  were  prolonged,  the  war 
stamps  and  collection  b(j.\es  were  finally 
placed  in  the  hands  of  the  committee 
representatives  in  each  house  and  the 
Garfield  Club  by  Wednesday. 

Only  Three  Ail-Out 

To  date  only  three  social  groups  have 
pledged  100%  support:  Delta  Psi,  Kappa 
Alpha,  and  Phi  Gamma  Delta.  The 
pledges  on  record  approximate  500, 
comprising  a  weekly  purchaseof  $250worth 
of  stamps  or  an  average  of  about  fifty 
cents  per  pledge.  Zeta  Psi  held  the  high 
est  average  per  pledge  with  $1.40  from 
each  supporter.  Sigma  Phi  was  second 
with  sixty-three  cents. 

Through  the  week  students  are  expected 
to  purchase  the  stamps  up  to  the  amounts 
they  have  pledged  and  each  will  be  sup 
plied  with  a  stamp  book  containing  space 
for  stamps  up  to  the  value  of  one  bond 
Among  the  smaller  social  groups  the  dis 
tribution  of  stamps  will  be  entirely  on  the 
honor  system,  each  man  securing  hi 
stamps  himself  and  depositing  the  re 
quisite  money,  though  the  larger  groups 
nia>-  find  it  necessary  to  alter  this  plan 
for  efficiency.  The  RECORD  will  publish  a 
weekly  summary  of  the  percentage  of 
pledges  fulfilled  by  each  house.  Men 
leaving  college  are  automatically  released 
from   their  obligation  upon  departure. 

Full  Fledged,   Independent 

The  Williams  Victory  Committee  is 
the  result  of  a  move  begun  by  the  Purple 
Cow.  Chairman  C.  William  Schlosser  and 
Bernard  Bailyn  '44,  business  manager 
and  editor  of  the  Purple  Cow,  respectively, 
and  James  F.  Pritchard  '44,  treasurer  of 
the  Committee,  comprise  the  administra- 
tive body  for  the  drive.  Now  sanctioned 
by  the  Executive  Committee,  the  Student 
Activities  Council,  and  President  James 
P.  Baxter,  3rd,  the  Williams  Victory 
Committee  ranks  as  a  full-fledged,  in- 
dependent, campus  organization  entirely 
under  student  management. 

'43  to  Hold  Banquet 
Instead  of  Class  Day 

Robert  B.  Kittredge  '43,  president  of 
the  senior  class  and  chairman  of  the  Class 
Day  Committee,  announced  last  week 
that  due  to  the  winter  Commencement 
date,  Williams'  ISOth  graduating  class 
would  not  have  the  traditional  class  day 
ceremonies.  Instead  the  Committee  has 
planned  a  banquet  for  parents,  friends,  and 
alumni  Tuesday,  February  16,  the  night 
before   Commencement. 

At  the  same  time,  Frederick  R.  Barnes 
was  named  Class  Historian,  William  G. 
Morrisey,  III,  Class  Poet,  and  Malcolm 
S.  MacGruer,  Pipe  Orator.  The  Class 
Poem  and  Pipe  Oration  will  be  given  at 
the  banquet. 

The  ivy  planting,  a  Class  Day  ceremony, 
will  not  be  held  this  winter.  The  ivy 
will  be  temporarily  planted  in  a  pot  and 
replanted  in  the  spring.  As  a  result,  no 
Ivy  Poet  or  Ivy  Orator  was  named. 


ON  WILLIAMS 
IN  WARTIME 


-BY  THE  EDITORS;: 


Although  a  considerable  amount  of  gold 
braid  has  been  seen  in  and  around  No.  1 
Hopkins  during  the  past  few  days,  no 
official  confirmation  or  denial  has  been 
forthcoming  regarding  the  many  rumors 
about  the  alleged  plan  to  utilize  Williams' 
facilities  for  training  naval  cadets.  The 
only  news  that  has  leaked  out  of  the 
president's  office  is  the  statement  that  a 
definite  announcement  will  be  made  in 
the  near  future,  probably  next  week. 

According  to  present  plans  the  Annual 
Williams  College  Conference,  to  be  held 
January  \6and  17 ,  will  be  organized  around 
the  general  topic  "War  and  Peace,"  with 
special  emphasis  on  the  role  of  the  student 
in  winning  the  war  and  securing  a  just 
settlement  of  the  post-war  world  {see  page 
1).  The  very  recognition  of  this  problem 
and  its  proposed  discussion  around  the 
conference  table  constitute  one  technique 
for  solving  it. 

If  those  who  will  soon  be  marching  off 
to  war  can  achieve  a  sense  of  personal 
responsibility  and  a  feeling  that  they  have 
a  personal  stake  in  this  war  their  efforts 
as  soldiers  in  the  front  lines  will  be  more 
meaningful.  And  if  their  fighting  is 
meaningful,  it  must  necessarily  be  more 
effective.  If  these  same  soldiers,  when 
confronted  with  the  major  burdens  of  fram- 
ing a  just  peace  and  avoiding  the  mistakes 
of  the  1 920's,  can  add  to  these  personal  feel- 
ings a  realization  of  the  communal  conse- 
quences of  their  decisions,  they  will  have 
advanced  a  long  way  on  the  road  to  achiev- 
ing the  kind  of  world  all  liberal  democrats 
envision.  Therefore,  it  is  our  hope  that 
this  year's  Conference  will  help  crystallize 
the  thinking  of  our  future  soldiers  on  their 
personal  and  communal  responsibilities 
and  rewards.  This  would  be  a  real  national 
contribution  of  Williams  in  wartime. 

An  item  on  page  1  tells  the  rather  un- 
flattering story  of  Williams'  response  to 
the  Victory  Drive  inaugurated  by  the 
Purple  Cow  last  week.  It  reveals  that  on 
the  first  anniversary  of  Pearl  Harbor  stu- 
dents in  the  Williamstown  public  schools, 
with  an  enrollment  only  slightly  exceed- 
ing that  of  the  college,  are  weekly  giving 
nearly  $100  more  for  the  purchase  of  war 
stamps  than  the  estimated  total  of  under- 
graduate pledges  here.  The  figures  speak 
for  themselves,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  be- 
labor an  already  obvious  point  with  further 
editorial  comment.  Suffice  it  to  say  that 
after  a  year  of  fighting  by  our  soldiers,  a 
responsible  readjustment  of  the  whole 
attitude  of  the  student  body  is  apparently 
still  lacking.  Certainly  it  is  going  to  take 
more  than  800  quarters  to  put  Williams 
in  the  war! 

Two  Williams  alumni  of  recent  years 
were  honored  not  long  ago  by  the  No'nl 
Reserve  Midshipmen's  School  in  New  York. 
In  the  school's  Ninth  Class  of  approximately 
1100  men,  William  M.  Sebring,  Jr.  '41, 
was  awarded  a  sword  at  Regimental  Review 
for  being  selected  the  outstanding  midship- 
man of  the  Second  Battalion.  Sebring,  a 
company  commander  during  his  three 
months  as  a  V-7  midshipman,  will  graduate 
December  2.  A  similar  honor  was  con- 
ferred a  month  ago  on  R.  Cragin  Lewis  '41, 
when  he  was  presented  a  sword  by  Rear 
Admiral  Randall  Jacobs  in  ceremonies  at 
the  New  York  Yacht  Club  for  placing 
second  among  the  1200  Midshipmen  of 
the  Eighth  Class. 

JEFF  SPORTS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
emphasized  offense,  defense,  mobility, 
striking  power,  and  condition  in  an  at- 
tempt to  fit  a  squad  of  men  for  active 
duty  in  the  armed  services,  not  essentially 
to  build  a  winning  football  team.  In  the 
Boston  Herald  earlier  he  was  quoted: 
Football  is  just  a  part  of  the  physical 
education  program  that  has  been  installed 
here,  and  nobody  is  going  to  have  much 
time  to  think  about  the  Williams  game 
until  Saturday  afternoon." 

CONFERENCE 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Liberal  Florida  legislator  and  statesman; 
Max  Werner,  military  analyst  and  author 
who  predicted  Russia's  ultimate  victory 
at  the  Spring  Conference  last  March; 
Milo  Perkins;  Russell  Davenport;  Ernest 
K.  Lindley;  and  Lin  Yutang.  Faculty 
members  on  leave  in  Washington  who 
have  been  asked  include  Profs.  Paul 
Birdsall,  Robert  R.  R.  Brooks,  Frederick 
L.  Schuman,  Vincent  M.  Barnett  Jr., 
Philip  H.  Coombs,  Enrique  de  Lozada, 
Bertrand  Fox,  and  Donald  H.  Wallace 
are  also  expected  to  participate. 


WHICH  would  you  vote 
"most  likely  to  succeed?" 

"The  Aircraft  Warning  System  gives  a  single  plane  on  ground 
alert  the  equivalent  striking  power  of  16  planes  on  air  patrol." 
This  startling  statement  comes  from  England. 

Our  country's  Aircraft  Warning  Service — quite  similar  to 
England's  —  keeps  a  constant  check  on  the  flight  of  all  aircraft. 
Should  the  need  arise,  it  is  prepared  to  send  fighter  planes  aloft, 
to  mobilize  and  direct  ground  defense  forces,  to  warn  endangered 
areas.  Every  step  in  its  operation  requires  the  fast,  accurate 
communication  of  the  telephone. 

This  is  just  one  of  the  many  wartime  jobs  that  are  keeping 
telephone  lines  busier  than  ever  before.  To  help  us  keep  lines 
clear  for  vital  military  and  industrial  calls,  please  avoid  using 
Long  Distance  to  war  activity  centers  unless  the  call  is  urgent.  And 
please  keep  all  your  telephone  calls  as  brief  as  you  ca  i>.  'I'hank  you.

Debaters  Discuss 
Drafting   Women 

Stress  War  Need  During 
Wellesley  Round  Table; 
'46    Seeks    Fourth    Win 

Dartmouth,  Wellesley,  and  Williams 
debaters,  continuing  a  three-cornered 
rivalry  begun  last  March,  forgot  major 
difTerences  in  a  round  table  discussion 
Saturday  afternoon  at  Wellesley,  and 
reached  the  conclusion  that  "it  will  be 
necessary  to  draft  women  to  replace  male 
workers."  Johnathan  Birnic  '43,  Paul  L. 
Kohnstamm  '44,  and  Peter  D.  Silverstone 
'45  presented  the  Adelphic  Union's  pos- 
ition urging  the  conscription,  while  Turpin 
of  Dartmouth  suggested  that  all  other 
manpower  reserves  be  tapped  first. 

The  Williams  team  was  saddened  to 
learn  Sunday  morning  that  Miss  Jac- 
queline Weiss,  Wellesley's  most  active 
participant  in  Saturday's  discussion,  died 
that  night  in  the  Boston  night  club  fire. 

Freshman  debaters  won  their  third 
straight  decision  Saturday  in  GrilTin  Hall 
when  they  defeated  Deerficld.  James  A, 
Smith  and  Dickinson  R.  Debevoise,  fac- 
ing his  alma  mater,  argued  that  it  would 
be  necessary  to  conscript  all  manpower 
for  the  war  effort.  Previously,  the  other 
freshman  debaters  had  scored  two  vic- 
tories over  MIT,  and  had  engaged  in  a 
non-decision  discussion  with  Middlebury. 
The  Freshman  Council  will  seek  its  fourth 
victory  against  no  defeats  when  it  faces 
Andover  next  Friday  in  Griffin  Hall. 
Split    Eight    Decisions 

A  hastily  assembled  varsity  debating 
team  broke  even  at  the  Dartmouth 
tournament  two  weeks  ago,  winning  four 
and  losing  four  decisions.  Hampered 
because  of  illness,  and  the  inability  of 
designated  members  to  make  the  trip,  ihc 
Adelphic  Union  sent  Silverstone  and 
Theodore  Nierenberg  '46  to  present  a 
plan  for  the  solution  to  the  Indian  prol)lem 
by  granting  an  independent  government. 
Thomas  S.  Walsh  '44,  and  Leston  L. 
Havens  '45,  notified  of  the  trip  only 
twenty-four  hours  in  advance,  took  the 
negative  side,  taking  one  out  of  four 
decisions  while  the  affirmative  was  winning 
three. 

Williams  registered  triumphs  over  Am- 
herst, Bates,  which  tied  for  first  place, 
Colgate,  and  Vermont.  Thirteen  col- 
leges participated  in  the  two-day  event, 
Williams  tying  Amherst  for  sixth   place.

PARAGRAPHS 
IN  THE  NEWS 


The  Dean's  Office  this  week  announced 
that  the  following  have  resigned  from 
college:  Stein  and  F.  R.  FUher  "44,  who 
are  to  be  inducted  into  the  Army;  Pinker- 
ton  '45,  who  has  enlisted  in  the  Marines; 
Berky  '45,  who  is  entering  the  Naval  Air 
Corps;  and  Cutler  '46-0,  who  is  enlisting 
in  the  Army. 


According  to  an  Associated  Press  dis- 
patch issued  this  week,  Williams  led  all 
Eastern  football  teams  this  season  in 
average  points  scored  per  game.  With  32 
points  a  contest,  the  Purple  outdistanced 
Rochester,  with  30.2,  and  Boston  College, 
with  29.  On  a  national  basis,  the  team 
was  third,  behind  Tulsa's  42.7  mark  and 
Georgia's  33.3. 

Alan  G.  James  '43  this  week  issued  a  call 
to  all  seniors  who  have  signed  up  for  the 
joint  class  insurance  policy  to  make  their 
first  $7.50  payments  to  him  before  the 
Christmas  vacation.  Owing  to  the  pos- 
sibility that  some  members  of  the  class 
may  not  return  after  the  recess,  he  ex- 
pressed the  desire  to  clear  up  the  business 
at  the  earliest  possible  date.  Any  mem- 
bers who  are  interested  in  the  plan,  which 
constitutes  the  class  gift  to  Williams,  and 
who  have  not  yet  signed,  are  urged  to  see 
James  at  their  first  convenience. 


William  J.  Nelson  '45  was  elected 
president  of  the  College  Band  at  a  meet- 
ing Tuesday  night.  Also  elected  were 
Elbert  H.  Loughran  '45,  vice-president, 
and  Walter  A.  Bell  '45,  business  manager. 

Appointed  executive  secretary  of  the 
Nonferrous  Metals  Commission  created

Purple  Key  Elects 
Lindsay  President 

Drops  Ineligibility  Rule; 
Managers  to  Prepare 
Reports    on    Their  Jobs 

Donald  McK.  Lindsay  '44,  of  Decatur, 
III.,  was  chosen  president  of  the  Purple 
Key  for  the  coming  season  at  a  meeting  of 
the  athletic  managers,  held  in  Jesup  Hall 
last  night.  The  Purple  Ke>  also  took 
steps  to  streamline  its  organization  and 
keep  abreast  of  wartime  conditions  as  it 
passed  a  resolution  requiring  managers  to 
submit  reports  concerning  their  respective 
duties  and  opened  athletic  competitions  to 
underclassmen  belonging  to  the  same 
social  units  as  the  managers. 

Record    of   Responsibilities 

Lindsay,  the  new  head,  won  the  football 
competition  his  sophomore  >ear  and  will 
assume  the  duties  of  varsity  manager  next 
fall.  He  has  also  participateil  in  varsity 
basketball  and  lacrosse,  is  a  Junior  Adviser, 
and  is  affiliated  with  Zeta  Psi. 

According  to  retiring  Pres.  David  W. 
Brown  '43,  managers'  reports  will  be  re- 
quired because  "with  no  one  certain  as  to 
the  future  of  college  athletics  because  of 
war  demands,  it  seemed  advisable  to  have 
a  record  of  the  responsibilities  of  the 
managers  of  the  various  sports.  Thus, 
when  the  normal  Williams  program  is 
restored,  future  managers  will  have  a 
better  idea  of  what  their  duties  are,  and 
those  of  the  graduate  manager  of  athletics, 
will  be  considerably  lessened.  " 

These  records  will  also  aid  managers  in 
the  near  future  whose  training  for  their 
posts  has  been  limited  to  one,  instead  of 
the  usual  two  years. 

The  present  difficulty  in  getting  compels 
tor  managers'  posts  necessitated  the  new 
rule  allowing  men  in  the  same  houses  as 
incumbent  managers  to  enter  the  com- 
petitions. "It  will  be  a  temporary,  not  a 
permanent  policy,"  Brown  said,  "as  the 
other  method  is  more  healthful  and 
eliminates  charges  of  favoritism  in  de- 
ciding competitions."

Oflicial  release  of  the  1942-43  basket- 
ball schedule  with  Amherst's  absence 
standing  out  like  a  sore  thumb,  and  Dale 
Burnett's  arrival  in  Williamstown  to  take 
over  the  coaching  duties  are  the  top 
developments  on  the  Williams  court 
scene  this  week.  The  team  will  play  ten 
games,  opening  at  home  next  Thursday 
against  the  only  complete  newcomer, 
Arnold  College  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 
Under  Burnett's  Eye 

Coach  Burnett  returned  to  Williams- 
town Monday  night  and  took  over  the 
team  for  the  first  time  Tuesday  after- 
noon. With  four  weeks  of  conditioning 
under  Captain  Jack  Harter  already  be- 
hind them,  the  men  went  through  an  hour- 
long  scrimmage  with  Burnett  getting  his 
first  look  at  a  flock  of  s(jphomore  candi- 
dates from  the  referee's  position. 

Wednesday  the  squad  drilled  on  plays 
and  three  fives  alternated  in  another 
scrimmage.  Practices  have  been  moved 
ahead  from  4:30  to  4:00  to  speed  up 
preparation  for  the  game  with  Arnold. 
Four  holdovers  from  last  winter,  Harter, 
(See  BASKETBALL   page  4) 


Thunder  Rock' Will  Be 
Presented  on  Dec.  1 0,1 1 

Thunder  Rock,  feature  Cap  &  Bells 
production  of  the  winter  season,  will  be 
presented  next  Thursday  and  Friday 
evenings,  December  10  and  11,  at  8:30 
on  the  main  stage  of  the  Adams  Memorial 
Theatre.  A  previously  scheduled  basket- 
ball game  necessitated  the  change  from 
December  11  and  12,  the  original  per- 
formance dates. 

Organized  and  directed  entirely  by 
undergraduates,  the  presentation  will 
culminate  a  long  series  of  rehearsals  and 
.set  construction  sessions.  The  char- 
acterization of  many  of  the  parts  has  been 
found  difficult  since  they  are  supposed  to 
gather  theatrical  intensity  as  the  per- 
formance progresses.  Cockneyand  Austrian 
accents  further  complicate  the  production 
but  Willy  K.  LeFevre  and  William  Win- 
dom  '46,  have  mastered  the  foreign 
dialects   without   undue  effort. 

The  play  will  be  directed  by  Charles  W. 
Moore  '43,  noted  for  his  performance  of 
the  part  of  Walter  Burns  in  'The  Front 
Page,  Cap  &  Bells'  last  major  production. 
The  lead  role  is  in  the  capable  hands  of 
Bayard  R.  Kraft  '43,  whose  acting  experi- 
ence includes  work  in  Williamstown  pre- 
sentations of  Marco  Polo,  Much  Ado 
About   Nothing,  and  ']'he  Front  Page.

in  its  first  week  of  actual  collections,  while 
the  blood  proposal,  given  its  original 
impetus  by  Mrs.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  is

In  nieniorlani,  we  feel  that  our  senti- 
ments are  best  expressed  by  Bob  Dunbar, 
Boston  Herald  columnist,  "Alonzo  Hcarne 
of  Williams  was  one  of  the  finest  ends  we 
have  ever  seen,  likewise  a  fine  sportsman, 
one  of  the  greatest  of  Williams  athletes, 
and  his  loss  was  a  sharp  shock  to  us." 

Please  let  us  sincerely  apologize  to 
Tom  Powers  for  acciis- 
Intentionally  ing  him  in  our  last  col- 
Kicked  Out  umn  of  intentionally 
kicking  out  of  bounds 
at  Amherst.  It  has  been  emphasized 
that  he  was  not  trying  to  kick  out,  but 
was  doing  his  best  to  get  as  much  distance 
as  possible  under  extremely  difficult  con- 
ditions. We  said  at  the  beginning  that 
we  were  writing  the  comments  from  the 
viewpoint  of  the  admittedly  unauthorita- 
tive Williams  man  in  the  stands,  but  per- 
haps tliis  was  not  sufficiently  stressed,  and 
we  stand  corrected.  We  still  w-onder 
whether  or  not  it  was  the  Williams  left 
guard's  fault  that  Kimball  of  Amherst 
was  getting  through  so  fast  to  add  to 
Power>'   worries. 

One  uf  the  big  questions  in  our  minds 
ISst  Friday  was  whether 
Redoubtable,  to  go  to  Boston  just  to 
Unbeatable?  get  a  look  at  the  redoubt- 
able, unbeatable  Boston 
College  football  team.  We  decided  a- 
gainst  going,  and  from  all  the  reports, 
that  was  the  right  decision.  Our  desire 
to  see  this  BC  outfit  in  action  waa  height- 
ened by  the  various  reports  of  the  previous 
week,  iiarticularly  those  by  Coach  Denny 
Myers,  who  called  it  "a  team  coaches  pray 
to  get."  Currivan,  Holovak,  Naumetz, 
and  Canale  were  good  enough  to  make 
any  team  in  the  country,  presumably 
including  the  Chicago  Bears.  Greasy 
Neale,  coach  of  the  professional  Phila- 
delphia Eagles,  said  he  had  only  one  man 
good  enough  to  make  the  BC  starting  line- 
up. And  Gloomy  Gil  Dobie,  BC  coach, 
who  has  never  yet  been  a  man  to  go  over- 
board in  praise  of  any  individual  or  team, 
said  that  the  great  Cornell  teams  of  the 
George  Pfann  era,  which  were  coached 
by  him,  were  no  match  for  the  Boston 
College  team.  Dobie  went  on  to  say 
that  O'Rourkc,  had  he  been  at  BC  this 
year  instead  of  in  1940,  would  have  been 
used  only  when  the  occasion  demanded, 
presumably  for  nothing  but  passes. 

But  alas,  the  big  beautiful  bubble  has 
been  broken  by  an  insig- 
Reading  nificant  Holy  Cross  outfit 
Clippings  which  had  lost  four  games 
and  went  into  Fenway  Park 
at  the  short  end  of  four  to  one  and  on  up- 
wards. Apparently  there  must  have  been 
some  reading  of  clippings  going  on  in  the 
BC  locker  room,  and  this  coupled  with  an 
inspired  team  playing  the  game  of  its  life, 
was  a  lot  more  than  the  Sugar-Bowl- 
bound  BC  boys  could  handle.

(Continued  from  page  3) 

Roy  Tolles,  Don  Lindsay,  and  Bob 
Wallace,  are  on  deck  for  starting  posts 
Thursday.  Lettermen  Johnny  Bridge- 
water  and  Dick  Hole,  sophomore  ace, 
top  a  long  list  of  contenders,  mostly 
sophomores,  for  the  fifth  position. 
Amherst  Unbooked 
Amherst  is  conspicuously  absent  from 
the  current  schedule.  Vacation  and  exam 
conflicts,  along  with  the  hesitancy  of 
Lord  Jeff  athletic  officials  in  making  future 
intercollegiate  sports  plans,  have  been  the 
main  obstacles  to  reaching  an  agreement. 
The  Jeffs  are  definitely  playing  basketball 
this  winter  and  the  question  is  still  under 
discussion.  Amherst  has  filled  its  pre- 
Christmas  dates  with  nearby  service  fives 
and  must  close  its  season  by  January  21 
because  of  exams.  The  only  Eph  open 
date,  January  20,  is  being  held  in  the  hope 
that  the  game  can  be  played  then.  Wes- 
leyan  is  still  booked  for  both  home  and 
away  engagements.

Fever- Pitch  Excitement,   Military

College  Transformed   into  Armed   Camp 
By    Four  Distinct  Training  Groups 

iyjoiix   H.  WiNANT   '45 

Although  one  >ear  has  wrought  many  changes  in  a  Williams  at  war,  it  will  not 
be  until  the  arrival  of  the  naval  training  group  that  the  campus  will  take  on  an 
appearance  reminiscent  of  the  hectic  \ears  1917-18,  when  fever-pitch  excitement  and 
pervasive  military  spirit  saw  the  college  transformed  into  an  armed  camp,  with 
four  different  training  organizations  operating  on  a  year-round   seliedule,

U.  S.  Army  to  Train 
Air  Cadets   at  Yale; 
Men  Due  in  January 


Yale  University  followed  the  precedents 
of  many  leading  colleges  throughout  the 
country  this  week  when  it  leased  half  its 
living  facilities  and  one-third  of  the  rest 
of  its  campus  to  the  United  States  Army 
for  use  as  a  Prc-Flight  Training  School. 
The  first  contingent  of  the  Air  Forces, 
2O00  officers  and  600  non-commissioned 
men,  will  arrive  on  the  Yale  campus  next 
month. 

The  new  Army  Pre-Flight  School  will 
be  completely  under  Army  conmiand  and 
its  only  connection  with  Yale  will  be  the 
renting  of  the  physical  facilities  for  the 
housing,  feeding,  and  training  of  the 
soldiers  and  officers. 

Yale's  liberal  arts  program,  regular 
educational  purposes,  and  B.A.  degree 
will  not  be  sacrificed,  however,  according 
to  Dr.  Charles  Seymour,  president  of  the 
New  Haven  institution,  as  "the  university 
has  reserved  for  its  own  use  all  the  neces- 
sary housing  and  teaching  facilities  which 
it  may  need." 

Drafted  men  in  the  Army  and  Navy  that 
may  be  sent  to  Yale  for  special  training, 
exclusive  of  the  Air  Corps,  will  be  taught 
courses  by  the  Yale  faculty  and  will  be 
considered  by  the  authorities  as  a  part 
of  the  regular  student  body.

Plans  for  the  1943  Williams  Conference 
on  current  affairs,  entitled  "War  and 
Peace,"  and  scheduled  for  January  16 
and  17,  took  shape  rapidly  this  week,  as 
Chairman  L  Marshall  \'an  Deusen  '44

Warns  That  Hitler  Can 
Stage  Strong  Defense ; 
Hits  U.S.  Franco  Policy 

6y  PkTER  D.  SlLVERSTONlC  '45 
Back  at  Williams  after  fifteen  years  of 
touring  the  world  and  reporting  and 
analyzing  its  changing  events,  Joseph  C. 
Harsch  '27  warned  a  Jesup  Hall  audience 
.Sunday  night  that  "Hitler  is  capable  of 
fighting  a  defensive  war  on  the  fortress 
which  is  the  continent  of  Europe,"  and 
that  any  talk  of  the  war's  being  over  in 
1943  just  because  we  have  assumed  the 
offensive  is  "utter  tonimyrot." 

'Siege  Which  Is  to  Conae' 
Addressing  an  assembled  ISO  students, 
faculty,  and  townspeople,  Harsch,  author 
of  I'allern  of  Conquest  and  countless  articles 
on  Hitler's  domain,  sharply  criticized 
tho.se  who  think  the  German  power  will 
collapse  suddenly,  declaring  that  such 
collapse  could  only  come  "because  of

Lindsay   '44  Named  IFC 
Head  Replacing  Stanley 

Donald  McK.  Lindsay  '44  of  Decatur, 
III.  was  elected  Tuesday  to  replace  George 
E.  Stanley  '44  as  president  of  the  Inter- 
fraternity  Council.  Stanley's  term  as 
president  was  ended  by  a  draft  board  re- 
examination that  resulted  in  his  immediate 
call  to  the  service. 

"We  will  try  to  keep  the  fraternities 
running  and  to  cooperate  tis  fully  as  pos- 
sible with  the  Executive  Committee," 
said  Lindsay  as  he  promised  a  continua- 
tion of  the  policies  initiated  by  the  pre- 
ceding president.  ]\'I.  Michael  Griggs  '44 
will  continue  as  secretary  of  the  under- 
graduate organization. 

A  graduate  of  IJeerfielil,  Lindsay  it. 
rushing  chairman,  football  manager,  and 
president  of  Purple  Key.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  varsity  basketball  and  lacrosse 
teams  and  is  president  of  Zeta  Psi. 

Draft  Deferment  Open 
For  Chemistry  Majors 

Prof.    King    Will    Arrange 
Special     Service    Status 

Chemistr\  siudents  are  still  to  be 
maintained  in  Class  2-A,  Professor  J. 
Fitch  King,  chairman  of  the  chenustrx- 
department,  announced  recently,  referring 
to  information  he  had  received  from 
Consultant  Hillings  of  the  War  IVIan- 
power  Commission,  and  both  President 
Holmes  and  Secretary  Parsons  of  tlu? 
American  Chemical  Society.  Professor 
King  stated  that  any  .sophomores,  jimiors, 
and  seniors  who  have  not  alread\"  been 
placed  in  Class  2-A  should  inuiKMlialely 
see  him  about  petitioning  the  Appeals 
Board  or  even  finalh'  taking  the  appeal 
to  Washington. 

'Don't    Join    Reserves' 

Chemistry  .studeiUs  are  not  needed  for 
the  armed  forces,  but  they  are  desperateh- 
in  demand  in  war  products  industries. 
This  fact  is  subtantialed  by  a  letter  of 
.Secretary  Parsons.  "We  are  doing  all 
we  can  to  see  that  students  in  chemistry 
and  chemical  engineering  are  allowed  to 
complete  their  studies.  They  should  not 
join  the  reserves.  Chenucal  training  is 
not  needed  in  the  arnu'd  forces.  The 
demand  of  war  industries  is  increasing 
and  the  shortage,  which  is  already  critical, 
will  become  even  more  acute." 

In  Occupational  Hulletin  No.  10,  a 
registrant  who  is  preparing  in  a  specialized 
field  such  as  chemistry  may  be  considered 
for  deferment  from  the  draft  at  the  close 
of  his  sophomore  \ear  in  a  recognized 
college  or  university.  Professor  King 
points  out  that  Williams  is  among  the 
12,S  schools  accredited  by  the  American 
Chemical  Society. 

He  advises  chemistry  students,  in 
answering  their  draft  questionnaires,  to 
obtain  Affidavit  Form  42A  from  him  and 
also  a  letter  from  him  telling  the  draft 
headquarters  about  their  work.

It  is  iiMderstoo<l  that  Williams  is  to  be  one 
of  twent\'  colleges  selected  for  this  type  of 
school,  only  one  other  of  which  is  in  Xi-w

'This  Isn't  Business  As  Usual' 

This  arit'iiioon's  aiinouiiceinent  l)y  I'l'es.  James  P.  Baxter,  Srd, 
inean.s  a  lot  more  than  change  for  every  William.s  man.  This  after- 
noon',s  annouiiccment  means  resptmsibility  as  well  —  responsibility  for 
llif  elVective  adaptation  of  this  college  to  a  real  and  meaningful  wartime 
existence.  Tlie  effect  of  the  arrival  of  200  naval  trainees  on  January  7 
and  of  sni).s((iiient  .shifts  until  the  600  maximum  (piota  is  filled  will  be 
f;ii-reacliiiig.  Dormitory  changes,  the  demise  of  the  Garfield  Club  as  a 
pliysical  unit,  changes  in  the  college  calendar  and  in  class  schedules  are 
hut  a  few  of  liic  consc(|uenccs  involved.  The  ability  of  the  undergrad- 
uate body  lo  itdai)t  it.self  to  these  and  other  new  conditions  will  in  part 
determine  the  justification  of  this  college's  existence  in  wartime.  Said 
I'lesident  Baxter  today,  "This  isn't  business  as  u.siial." 

Small  indeed,  however,  seems  the  "sacrifice"  of  the  undergraduate 

body  as  compared  with  the  stress  which  will  be  laid  on  the  faculty  and 

the  administration.     Forty-four  faculty  members  will  teach  an  average 

of  Iwenty-foiir  hours  each  per  week.    The  iieacc-time  norm  was  from 

nine  to  twelve  hours  each  week.     Added  duties,  added  responsibilities 

have  been  assume<l  by  the  college  not  because  it  will  realize  financial   P^P'-  '"  '^e  world  could  ">-"f|;;^|";^;;

hopeless  odds  in  an  individual  assertion  of 
his  will.  The  results  proved  the  sufticiency 
of  the  means.  Like  their  English  brothers 
who  lay  on  their  backs  on  the  bloody  sands 
of  Dunkirk  firing  impotenlly  at  the  div- 
ing .Stukas,  Americans  at  Pearl  Harbor, 
in  defeat,  gave  forth  a  final  \alidation  of 
democracy. 

But  what  have  we  done  with  the  epics 
of  Dunkirk  and  Pearl  Harbor?  We  have 
neglected  their  lesson,  and  turned  the 
stufi'  of  their  greatness  over  to  the  ad- 
vertising men,  who  have  rewritten  the 
text,  and  splashed  it  across  all  the  news- 
papers in  the  country,  trying  to  turn  de- 
feat into  victory.  We  ha\e  argued  about 
superficialities,  and  have  neglected  the 
true  lesson   of  Pearl  Harbor  by  denying 


A  \ear  after  Pearl  Harbor  the  Na\-y 
has  released  the  full  story.  Critics  of  the 
powers  that  be  have  iiuniediately  jumped 
to  the  aUack,  demanding  to  know  why  ihe 
details  were  withheld  long  after  they  were 
of  any  value  to  the  enemy.  Supporters  of 
the  Nav\'  have  countered  by  claiming 
that  this  technique  was  a  necessary  morale 
measure  designed  to  thwart  a  threatened 
wave  of  defeatism  which  would  have  been 
fatal  lo  the  offensive  spirit  necessiiry  lo 
win  ihe  war.  Again  the  critics  point  out 
that  such  questionable  propaganda  tech- 
niques will  surely  undermine  an  already 
shake\  public  confidence  in  any  fuuire  an- 
nouncements of  the  governmeiil.  Round 
and  round  the  argument  goes,  while  in 
the  middle  of  the  whirlpool  the  central 
fact  is  ignored  by  both  sides,  glossed  over 
by  the  journalistic  veneer  of  ihe  super- 
lative-makers. 

Pearl  Harbor,  like  Dunkirk  and  Sing- 
apore, was  a  debacle,  a  catastrophic  rout 
in  the  niilitrry  sense.  Whatever  was 
salva.mcl  from  the  wreckage  was  not  due 
to  an\-  military  plan  or  cooperative 
organization,  but  rather  to  Individual 
action;  and  therein  lies  a  greater  epic  than 
anything  all  the  headlines  in  all  Ihe  news

Letter  to  the  Editor 


I'o  Ihe  Editor  of  THE  RECORD: 

In  order  to  clear  up  misunderslnndings 
concerning  the  new  system  of  bl.ickout 
sign.ds  a  brief  stalemenl  will  not  lie  |oul 
of  phice. 

The  first  whistle  signal  merely  c;dls 
ihe  Civilian  Defense  personnel  lu  the 
alert.  Lights  need  not  be  blacked  out. 
The  post-wardens  take  their  stations  and 
prepare  for  action.  The  general  public  is 
not  effected.  The  signal  is  three  short 
blasts  and  one  long,  repeated.  In  Wil- 
liamslown  street  lights  will  go  oiii  s(]on 
after  this  signal  sounds;  traffic  eonlimies 
on    Unv   beam    beaillights.   very  slowly. 

The  .sectmd  whistle  (a  series  of  short 
blasts)  means  that  all  blackout  regulations 
go  into  effect.  Traffic  draws  to  the  side 
of  the  road  and  extinguishes  its  lights; 
persons  on  the  street  seek  shelter;  all 
lights  are  to  be  put  out  or  blackcnil 
curtains  drawn.  All  College  buildings 
iTiust  be  blacked  out  at  the  sounding  of 
second  whistle  signal. 

'The  all-clear  signal  (two  long  lil.ists. 
repeated)  marks  the  end  of  the  bl.ickcnit. 
Street  lights  will  go  on  shortly  before  the 
all-clear  is  souniled. 

Neither  students  nor  College  post- 
wardens  should  interfere  with  traffic 
which  will  be  handled  by  the  special 
police  or  town  wardens.  Some  emergency 
traffic  will  have  to  iiiovc. 

A  practice  hUickont   will  be  held   next 


aerology  and  engines  three  hours  a  week 
for  three  weeks. 

.Similarly  inatheniatics  will  be  given 
twice  a  day  six  times  a  week  for  three 
weeks.  Following  this  most  of  the  math 
instructors  will  teach  classes  in  the  theor\' 
of  flight  one  hour  a  day  six  times  a  week 
from  the  fourth  week  through  the  tenth. 
Familiarization  with  aircraft  will  be 
stressed  in  the  remaining  two  weeks. 

In  addition  throughout  the  whole 
period  each  cadet  class  will  receixc  in- 
stntction  in  communications  one  hour 
per  day. 

LIBERAL  ARTS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
to   run    at  least  one   course  and    thereby 
keep  alive  the  mtijority  of  liberal  arts  de- 
l^artments. 

Navy  Cliaiiges  Few  Facilities 

With  the  exception  of  moving  freshmen 
out  of  Sage,  Williams,  and  I^ehman  Halls, 
college  facilities  for  returning  students 
will  be  changed  little  by  the  presence  of 
the  Navy.  The  freshmen  nuist  move  be- 
fore Christmas,  but  a  specific  date 
has  not  so  far  been  set.  The  frater- 
nities will  absorb  as  many  freshmen  as 
possible,  and  those  remaining  will  be 
placed   in  other  dormitories. 

Members  of  the  Garfield  Club  will  eat 
with  the  fraternities.  The  group  going 
to  each  house  will  be  selected  b\  a  num- 
erical lottery  similar  to  that  used  in  the 
first  period  rushing  dates  last  fall.  This 
lilan  will  help  the  fraternities  weather 
wartime  ctmditions  and  will  at  the  same 
lime  provide  adequate  eating  facilities 
for  the  entire  college. 

P.  T.  Progrnm  Same 

The  Navy  will  use  the  gymnasium  and 
athletic  ficld,s  jointly  with  Williams  under- 
graduates, but  the  physical  education 
programs  of  the  two  organizations  will  re- 
main completely  independent.  Physical 
training  for  students  will  remain  basicly 
the  same  as  at  present.  The  continuation 
of  athletic  teams  depends  almost  entirely 
upon  the  number  of  students  returning. 


nd  of  preferential  ratings  under  the  vari- 
oul  reserve  plans.  11  means  that  college 
men  are  no  longer  considered  a  privileged 
group,  and  that  they  must  prove  their  merit 
in  competition  with  other  Americans.  They 
lose  their  aristocratic  privilege  of  enlisting 
in  a  reserve  and  gelling  an  automatic  shot 
at  a  commission.  Bui  ihey  gain  on  oppor- 
tunity lo  prove  the  value  of  their  education. 

For  Williams  men  Ihe  new  plan  will 
actually  be  a  test  of  a  liberal  arts  education. 
Educational  sceptics  and  advocates  of 
technical  specialization  have  long  questioned 
the  value  of  literature  and  philosophy  in  a 
world  where  guns  and  bullets  seem  to  reign 
supreme.  Under  the  new  man-power  draft, 
aptitude  and  achievement  tesb  will  determine 
the  position  for  which  nrry  draftee  is  best 
suited.  Liberal  Arts  slud':nts  will  match 
their  mental  training,  poise,  and  ability 
to  learn  against  the  field  --  agaimt  special- 
ists and  non-specialists,  against  educated 
and  uneducated.  Their  performance  will 
be  a  concrete  answer  to  Ihe  sceptics. 


Warnings  came  out  last  Wednesday. 
The  over-all  averages  were  only  slightly 
above  those  of  last  semester,  which  was  the 
worst  in  six  years.  Apparently  there  are 
still  plenty  of  Williams  men  around  who 
insist  that  a  cademic  achievements  have 
nothing  to  offer  in  wartime.  Yet  these 
same  students  who  implicitly  deny  the 
value  of  their  education  !)>■  loafing  along 
on  warning  grades  don't  seem  to  feel  that 
the  Army  has  anything  to  offer  either. 
They  are  still  here,  living  a  daily  paradox. 

Without  reference  to  the  larger  question 
of  college  for  the  Army,  it  seems  obvious 
that  the  student  who  loses  academic 
interest  must  find  some  new  interest  or 
become  a  total  loss,  his  energies  and  talents 
wasted.  If  he  makes  the  decision  to  stay 
in  school,  he  must  follow  out  the  logical 
implications  of  his  act,  and  fulfill  his  duties 
as  a  student.  Otherwise  his  decision  has 
been  a  lie.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  SATURDAY,  DECEMBER  12,  1942 


Army  Party  Arrives 

For  Enlistment  Today 

In  accord  with  President  Roose- 
velt's executive  order  last  Saturday, 
all  voluntary  enlistment  in  either  the 
Army  or  Navy  has  been  terminated, 
and  only  those  who  recorded  their 
desire  to  join  the  AERC  before 
December  S,  are  within  the  college 
quota,  and  have  passed  the  physical 
examination  may  now  do  so.  An 
AERC  party  arrived  today  to  com- 
plete  the   enlistment   of    these   men. 

Since  mental  tests  for  the  Army 
Air  Corps  will  not  be  given  in  Wil- 
liamstown,  Army  authorities  have 
suggested  that  those  who  wish  to  be- 
come aviation  cadets  should  join  the 
AERC  now,  and  transfer  to  the  Air 
Corps  at  the  time  of  their  induction. 
Students  who  secured  application 
blanks  for  the  Marine  Corps  Reserve 
before  December  5  ma\'  complete 
their  induction  by  j^oing  to  Springfield 
before   December    l.i. 


Thompson  Series  Open 
With  Rochester  Concert 

Jose  Iturbi,  Joaquin  Nin-Culmell,  and 
the  Rochester  Philharmonic  Orchestra 
launched  the  1942-43  Thompson  Concert 
Series  Tuesday  night  before  an  apprecia- 
tive crowd  of  500  students,  faculty  mem- 
bers, and  townspeople  in  Chapin  Hall. 

Iturbi,  who  has  appeared  in  Chapin 
Hall  in  the  past  as  concert  pianist,  and 
the  Orchestra  played  three  scheduled 
pieces  and  Schubert's  Kosaniunde  as  an 
encore.  Nin-Culmell,  Williams  musical 
instructor,  gave  Heelhoven's  Piano  Con- 
certo No.  4  for  his  piano  solo. 

After  the  concert,  llurbi  staled  that  the 
response  had  been  "excellent."  Donald 
L.  Kuchs  '44,  treasurer  of  the  Thompson 
Concert  Committee,  announced  that  the 
turn-out  was  "very  satisfying"  and  hoped 
that  the  remaining  concerts  in  the  current 
series  would  be  as  well  r(cei\ed. 

Anne  Brown,  negro  .soprano,  will  appear 
in  the  next  ccmcert  January  12.  This 
will  be  Miss  brown's  first  tour  since  her 
Broadway  success  in  Porgy  and  Bess.

Lerner  Revises  *It  Is  Later  Than  You  Think/ 
Prepares  Aristotle  Preface,  Book  on  Holmes 

With  three  books  in  preparation  and  a  fourth  being  organized,  Prof.  Max  Lerner 
is  working  overtime  to  meet  a  publication  schedule  that  includes  a  revision  of  It 
Is  Later  Than  You  Think,  an  analysis  of  the  works  of  Justice  Holmes,  and  an 
introduction  to  a  Modern  Library  edition  of  Aristotle's  Politics.  The  New  Federalist 
is  the  title  of  a  group  of  writings  which  Mr.  Lerner  is  organizing  to  envision  the 
shape  of  future  American  government. 


The  Record's  only  other  rival  in  the 
coverage  of  local  events,  Williamstown 
High  School's  newspaper.  Spirit,  had  the 
following  comment  in  its  December  4th 
issue:  "  'Cwen'  wants  to  know  how  >()U 
go  about  meeting  a  Williams  boy  —  are 
you    kiddin'??.'" 


Joseph  B.  Joiinson,  assistant  professor 
of  historj-,  will  leave  Williams  next 
Wednesday  to  take  up  a  research  post  in 
Washington  in  the  Division  of  American 
Republics.  This  l)ranch  is  under  the 
State  Department  and  is  the  special 
brainchild  of  I'nder-.Secretary  of  State 
Sumner     Wells.  I'rofessor     Johnson's 

classes  in  Histor\  ^-■\  will  be  taken  over 
by  Charles  R.  Keller,  assi'ciate  histor\- 
professor. 


Editorials  for  'New  Republic' 

Besides  lecturing  in  Political  Science  5-6 
and  19-20,  Dr.  Lerner  also  manages  to 
write    weekly    editorials    for    the     New 


I  literary  success.  Modified  and  brought 
up  to  date,  the  new  edition  will  contain 
an  additional  chapter  covering  1938-1943. 
which  ponders   'How  Late  Did  It  Prove?"

work  now  is  readying  his  latest  books 
for  the  publishers. 

The  first  of  his  tasks  is  revising  //  /.« 
Later  Than  You  Think  for  its  fifth  priTiiing 
in  mid-February.  First  appearing  in 
1938,   this   book    was    Dr.    Lerner's     first 


almost  pro\'e(l  too  late,  and  that  if  we  have 
saved  oinselves,  we  did  it  just  in  time. 
Divided  into  five  p:irls,  the  new  chapter 
links  the  sid)heads,  "The  Anatomy  of 
Survival";  "The  Revolutionary  Cycle," 
a  study  of  the  'People's  War':  "Plato's 
Cave  Today":  "Oidy  A  (ireat  People,"  a

Undergraduates  Buy 
More  Stamps,  Bonds 
Than  Number  Pledged 


Williams  undergraduates  have  turned 
in  more  than  fifty  dollars  over  the  amount 
they  pledged  themselves  to  pay,  C. 
William  Schlosser  '44,  chairman  of  the 
Williams  Victory  Committee,  reported 
yesterday  in  estimating  the  sum  of  money 
that  had  been  returned  to  the  War  Stamp 
committee  last  week  from  the  Garfield 
Club  and  fraternities. 

Although  $240  had  been  pledged  for  the 
purchase  of  the  stamps  and  bonds,  approx- 
imately $285  was  turned  in  by  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  various  .social  units. 
This  result,  according  to  Schlosser, 
appears  to  make  unnecessary  the  plan  of 
setting  up  a  large  score  card  at  the  triangle 
of  the  intersection  of  Main  and  Spring 
Streets,  which  would  have  revealed 
whether  each  social  group  had  bought  the 
number  of  stamps  their  members  pledged.

In  one  of  the  wildest  opening  games 
the  Lasell  court  has  seen  in  recent  jears, 
Roy  Tolles  hung  up  si.\teen  points  to 
spark  Williams'  veteran  five  to  a  41-40

Long  shots  from  all  over  the  court  were 
the  order  of  the  evening  against  Arnold, 
as  the  teams  dropped  twenty-five  set

Matmen  Arrange 
Round-Robin  Bouts 

Two  Matches  Arranged, 
Others  Tentatively  Set 
for    January     Schedule 

PoiiUinn  toward  the  tentatively 
scheduled  match  with  MIT  January  9, 
the  varsity  wrestling  squad  this  week 
settled  down  to  the  serious  business  of 
elimination  trials  for  positions  on  the  first 
team. 

Coach  Ed  Bullock  at  a  meeting  Tues- 
day afternoon  explained  that  a  round-robin 
method  would  be  worked  out,  whereby 
each  member  of  the  squad  will  have  the 
chance  to  wrestle  a  regulation  bout  with 
every  other  squad  member  in  his  weight 
class.  By  this  medium,  Bullock  hopes  to 
be  able  to  choose  the  best  men  in  each 
class  for  ser\'ice  in  the  varsitx'  matches. 
Ironed  out  Kinks 

After  three  full  weeks  of  regular  practice, 
the  .squad  has  ironed  out  most  of  its  kinks 
and  has  been  concentrating  on  practice 
bouts  in  the  daily  workouts.  Standouts 
are  Co-Captains  Bill  Klopman  and  Rob 
Jones,  New  England  17S-pound  titlist, 
and  Freshman  Mort  Quantrell.  Klop- 
man, out  all  last  winter  with  an  injured 
arm,  will  see  action  in  the  15S-pound 
bracket,  while  Jones  will  drop  to  the  165 
class  this  season  to  make  way  for  Quantrell 
in  the  175  division.

Yale  Is  New  Opponent 
On'43  Football  Schedule 

Yale  returns  to  Williams'  1943  football 
schedule,  replacing  Princeton,  after  an 
absence  of  twenty-one  years,  the  office 
of  the  graduate  manager  of  athletics  an- 
nounced this  week  as  it  released  the  com- 
plete schedule  for  next  season.  In  the 
sixteen  games  played  between  these 
institutions,  Yale  has  not  been  defeated, 
winning  fifteen  by  shutouts. 


Colleges  Plan  Continuance  of  Football  in  '43; 
Eastern  Association  Asks  Washington  Stand 

Even  while  uncertainty  grew  as  to  the  number  of  available  college  students  in 
1943  and  the  OUT  took  a  tighter  grip  on  control  of  attendance,  the  main  source  of 
financial  revenue  for  intercollegiate  athletics,  colleges  all  over  the  country  made 
plans  last  week  to  continue  athletics  as  much  as  possible. 

Football  schedules  for  next  fall  were  released  by  many  individual  colleges,  includ- 
ing Williams,  while  the  Big  Ten  and  Eastern  Intercollegiate  Associations  re- 
vised schedulea.-or-reaffirmed  their  belief  that  football  makes  a  definite  contribution 
to  the  war  effort.  The  Eastern  athletic 
directors,  meeting  in  "New  York,  definitely 
went  on  the  offensive,  pointed  to  their 
plans  for  continuance  of  all  sports  in  1943, 
and  asked  for  an  official  "green  light" 
from  Washington. 

Many  Worthwhile  Purposes 

A  resolution  adopted  by  the  Eastern 
Intercollegiate  Football  Association  key- 
noted  this  nation-wide  move  for  continua- 
tion of  inter-school  competition.  The 
group  declared  that,  while  transportation 
must  be  minimized,  contact  sport  com- 
petition, both  from  the  physical  training 
and  the  recreational  value  to  players  and 
spectators,  "would  serve  all  of  its  many 
worthwhile  purposes  better  than  could  any 
program  devoid  of  the  aspects  of  true 
competition." 

The  Big  Ten  voted  to  continue  sports 
as  long  as  they  could  be  financed, referring 
of  course  to  the  prospects  of  limited  attend- 
ance as  foreshadowed  by  the  recently  re- 
quested ban  on  bowl  game  travel.  The 
limit  on  games  was  raised  from  nine  to 
ten,  so  long  as  the  extra  game  is  with  a 
service  team.  In  a  move  to  cut  down 
travel,  the  officials  decided  to  suspend 
restrictions  on  the  site  of  non-league 
games. 

Uncertainty    of   Future 

Although  Missouri  Valley  Hi(;  Six  heads 
noted  ihe  uncertainty  of  the  college's  war- 
time future,  they  too  announced  that  if 
permitted  to  do  so,  the  Conference  would 
go  through  with  its  1943  schedule  in  all 
major  sports. 

The  Rocky  Mountain  Conference  is 
trying  to  work  out  a  way  to  continue  foot- 
ball in  some  form,  but  until  a  proposal  by 
a  Denver  sports  writer,  intercollegiate  play 
was  on  the  way  out.  The  Hig  Seven  is

Hockey  Team  Practices 
For  Shortened  Schedule 

Kittredge     Leads    Squad 
in  Three -Game  Season 

Coach  Whoops  Sniveley's  varsity 
hockey  squad  got  its  first  taste  of  ice  for 
the  1942-43  season  Monday  when  or- 
ganized practice  began  with  a  drill  on  the 
frozen  Cole  Field  pond.  Open  water  in 
one  corner,  due  to  prolonged  autumn 
temperatures,  has  made  the  varsity  rink 
as  yet  unfit  for  daily  use. 

The  war-shortened  schedule  of  three 
games  includes  matches  against  Harvard, 
Middlebury,  and  West  Point  as  well  as 
the  annual  Lake  Placid  Invitation 
Tourney.  The  season's  opener  is  with 
Harvard  at  home  on  January  16.  The 
Middlebury  and  West  Point  contests  will 
be  played  on  the  road  January  20  and 
January  23,  respectively. 

Soph  Lines  Almost   Intact 

The  club  shapes  up  as  potentially  strong 
despite  the  return  to  action  of  but  two 
members  of  last  year's  first  and  second 
lines.  This  is  mainly  because  the  first 
two  lines  from  the  1945  freshman  outfit 
have  reported  for  duty  almost  intact, 
bringing  with  them  a  competent  goal- 
tender  and  defense-man. 

Captain  Bob  Kittredge,  center  and  sole 
returning  member  of  last  winter's  first 
line,  will  be  forced  to  uncover  another 
pair  of  wings  to  replace  Red  Nichols  and 
Ted  Brown.  For  one  of  these  spots  Jack 
Talbot,  only  holdover  from  the  second 
forward  wall,  is  a  strong  contender,  but 
he  will  face  stiff  competition  from  the 
large  sophomore  aggregation  and  possibly 
from  some  of  the  1946  wings,  who  are  at 
present  of  unknown  calibre.

52%  of  Students  Get 
Semester  Warnings 

In  one  of  the  heaviest  second  semester 
academic  warning  periods  in  recent  \ears, 
the  Dean's  Office  this  week  issued  warn- 
ings to  fifty-two  per  cent  of  the  student 
body.  This  figure  ranks  just  below  that 
of  last  semester,  highest  in  six  years,  when 
fifty-six  per  cent  of  all  undergraduates 
were  warned. 

The  total  number  of  warnings  issued 
shows  that  765  marks  were  posted  —  six 
less  than  the  total  number  of  men  in 
college  last  week.  Although  records  are 
not  kept  in  the  Dean's  Office  on  second 
semester  warnings,  it  is  probable  that  this 
year's  total  ranks  above  that  of  recent 
years. 

Both  divisions  of  the  freshman  class 
led  the  college  in  percentage  of  men 
warned,  with  sixty-six  per  cent  of  1946-J 
and  sixty-eight  per  cent  of  1946-0  receiving 
conditional  and  failing  marks.  Seniors, 
with  thirty-seven  men,  had  the  lowest 
percentage — twenty-eight.  Intermediarj 
were  the  junior  and  sophomore  class<s, 
with  forty-seven  and  fifty-four  per  cent 
respectively. 

With  368  men  entirely  clear  of  warning 
marks,  those  who  did  receive  the  low 
grades  averaged  1.89  warning  per  man, 
far  below  the  mean  established  last 
semester,  when  posted  marks  were  ex- 
ceptionally   low.

service  in  some  branch,  while  the  stiideiit 
batlalion  grew  to  almost  400. 

Intensive  Summer  Heat 
When  the  summer  of  1917  cume,  a 
second  iraiiiinn  Kroup,  the  Williams  suni- 
nier  camp,  took  over  the  campus.  For  two  i 
mouths  260  youny;  men,  mostly  Williams 
undergraduates,  went  through  a  rigorous  j 
course  that  conformed  to  the  training 
given  in  regular  army  camps  of  the  day. 
Four  infantry  companies  were  kept  on  the 
run  from  6  a.m.  until  9:30  p.m.  with  si.\ 
full  hours  of  instruction  during  the  day 
and  two  hours  of  theoretical  training  at 
night.  In  addition,  parades,  inspections, 
and  drills  took  up  much  time.  Despite 
the  fact  that  the  heat  that  summer  was 
particularly  intensive,  the  report  of  Major 
General  William  A.  Pew,  director  of  the 
camp,  states  that  "there  were  no  heat 
prostrations,"  and  that  the  students 
carried  on  well  at  all  times. 

The  following  summer  Williamstown 
was  chosen  as  the  site  of  the  New  England 
College  Military  Camp,  at  which  some  200 
undergraduates  from  seven  of  the  smaller 
colleges  in  the  district  were  put  through 
the  same  rigorous  course  as  that  con- 
ducted in  1917. 

Calibre  of  Worli  Differed 
The  fall  of  1918  saw  the  organization 
of  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps 
(SATC),  which  was  instituted  at  almost 
all  important  colleges  and  universities  in 
the  country.  Certain  entrance  modific9- 
tions  had  to  be  adopted  by  the  college  in 
order  to  carry  on,  as  the  calibre  of  work 
done  under  the  SATC  difTered  radically 
from  that  of  the  regular  DA.  course.  No 
absolute  requirements  were  made  of  any 
candidate  for  admission  to  Williams  other 
than  the  completion  of  a  four-year  high 
school  course  and  average  ability.  Later 
on,  even  these  stipulations  were  dropped, 
as  the  government  took  (i\er  the  matter  of 
placing  men  in  college  (orps. 

Men  in  college  were  required  to  be 
between  the  ages  of  eighteen  and  twenty, 
and  chances  of  staying  in  college  from 
time  of  acceptance  varied  from  three  to 
nine  months.  Vacations  were  cancelled, 
dormitories  were  set  up  in  barrack  fashion, 
equipment  was  furnished  by  the  govern- 
ment, and  the  students  each  received  a 
private's  pay  of  $30  a  month.  Opening 
with  some  350  men,  the  college  was  quickly 
depleted,  and  by  November  almost  100 
had  been  called  to  duty  elsewhere. 
Seamanship,  Semapliorc  Courses 
A  special  unit  of  the  corps  comprised 
the  naval  section,  which  trained  thirty- 
two  men  for  sea  duly.  The  naval  section 
lived  and  worked  with  the  army,  except 
that  it  took  courses  in  seamanship  and 
.Semaphore.  The  schedule  of  the  SATC 
saw  that  the  students  were  on  duty  from 
6:15  a.m.  until  10:00  p.m.,  and  that  they 
devoted  eleven  hours  a  week  to  strictly 
military  training  and  forty-two  to  study 
in  allied  subjects. 

Demobilization  of  the  unit  came  Decem- 
ber 12,  bringing  affairs  at  the  college  to  a 
quick  and  unexpected  turn.  The  thirty- 
one  students  who  had  been  at  the  college 
as  regular  students  during  tlie  war  con- 
tinued their  courses  with  little  change. 
Those  who  had  been  in  the  SATC  re- 
turned to  the  regular  academic  schedule 
at  the  opening  of  the  winter  term  in 
January,  1919,  and  freshmen  admitted  at 
that  time  were  to  be  given  credit  for  a  full 
year's  work  if  they  completed  all  courses 
.satisfactorily  in  June,  and  if  the\'  had  come 
from  the  armed  service. 

By  February  the  college  was  returning 
to  its  normal  life  again,  and  the  regular 
U.A.  program  took  over  for  the  more 
glamorous  and  more  rigorous  military 
training.  The  last  vestige  of  war,  an 
inactive  ROTC,  remained  for  a  short 
time,  and  then  passed  on  in  the  swing 
back  to  normalcy.

in  the  440  last  Wednesday,  and  both  arc 
slated  for  action  today. 

Ship  Rudolph,  Al  Sec,  and  Bob  Nelson 
will  tackle  the  Engineers  in  the  diving 
department.  Rudolph,  ace  of  last  year's 
yearling  divers,  bids  to  place  high,  and 
freshman  Nelson  should  hold  his  own  in 
varsity  competition. 

Last  year  at  Troy,  N.  Y.,  the  Ephmen 
eked  out  a  slim  38-37  win  over  the 
Engineers  as  Sam  Bacon  smashed  pool 
records  in  the  220  and  440-yard  freestyles. 
Coach  Bob  Muir  is  expecting  another  close 
battle  today,  as  both  teams  will  be 
strengthened  by  the  addition  of  freshmen. 

Thus  far  there  are  only  three  other 
meets  scheduled,  Manager  Murry  L. 
Cohen  '43  announced  yesterday.  Follow- 
ing a  meet  with  Mass.  State  at  Amherst 
January  9,  the  tankmen  will  engage 
Wesleyan  here  January  16  and  will  close 
the  season  with  Springfield  on  the  Gym- 
nasts' home  ground. 


WRESTLING 

(Continued  from  page  4) 

Bill  Inibrie,  varsity  121-poundcr  last 
season,  has  come  up  to  128  for  this  winter's 
schedide,  leaving  the  lightweight  spot 
open.  At  present  Freshman  Keith 
Petersen  looms  as  the  logical  successor 
to  the  flyweight  berth,  although  com- 
petition among  the  few  men  in  that  class 
is  high. 

Team  Plans  Dented 

The  loss  of  Andy  Berky,  last  year's 
freshman  16S-pound  star,  to  the  Naval 
Air  Corps  puts  a  dent  in  team  plans.  The 
outstanding  grappler  of  the  1942  yearling 
team,  Berky  was  expected  to  set  an  im- 
pressive record  this  seasr)n.  Art  Vorys, 
Gil  Spencer,  and  freshman  Norm  Root  are 
the    contenders   for    first    honors    in    the

heavyweight  spot.  The  departure  of

spring  left  the  slot  wide  open  for  com-

that  N'orys,  last  year's  freshman  heavy- 
weight, will  take  over. 

The  match  with  MIT  is  the  second 
contracted  for  the  winter  season,  although 
plans  are  being  made  to  include  several 
other  teams  on  the  schedule.  Springfield 
on  January  30  is  the  only  other  meet 
listed  at  the  moment  that  has  been  defin- 
itely arranged.

Lonely,  Pleading  Soothsayer 

111  iiiDikTiiiziiiK  this  work,  which  was 
puhhshcil  whin  I'rofrssor  LoniiT  was  a 
lijiiely  soothsayer  pleadinj;  for  an  intul- 
hiiurit  disavowal  of  isiilationisin,  he  has 
added  ,i  postscript  to  each  chapter,  deal- 
ing with  criticisms  which  wiTe  raised  by 
scholars  on  his  approach  to  the  material. 
Anions  notalile  idea  mollifications  brought 
on  by  the  war  is  "a  shift  in  emphasis  from 
production  planning;  to  public  spendins; 
as  an  active  techniijue."  This  amounts  to 
a  movement  toward  Keynes,  observes 
Dr.  I.enier. 

March  10  has  been  set  as  the  publication 
date  for  Professor  Lcrner's  seconil  new 
work,  The  Mind  nnd  Faith  of  Justice 
Holmes,  which  is,  accordinj;  to  its  author, 
"twu-thirds  Holmes  and  one-third  l.erner.' 
In  this  volume,  the  meditative  writings 
and  most  famous  decisions  of  the  eminent 
jurist  are  analyzed,  and  their  relation  to 
past  and  present  law  and  society,  as  well 
as  their  adaptation  to  the  present  are 
clearly  depicted  by  Dr.  l.erner. 

Greek  Philosopher's  Ideas 

A  Modern  Library  edition  of  Aristotle's 


Politics  will  appear  later  in  March,  with 
a  Lerner  introduction  similar  to  that  which 
j  appeared  in  the  Modern  Library  volume 
on  Macciavelli  a  year  anil  a  half  ago.  In 
it.  Dr.  l.erner  will  analyze  the  Greek 
philosopher's  political  ideas  in  relation  to 
his  broader  philosophy  and  to  relevant 
ideas  today. 

The  New  Federalist,  a  collection  of 
writings  which  envisions  the  shape  of 
future  American  government,  is  now  in 
the  process  of  organization,  and  Dr. 
Lerner  does  not  believe  it  will  be  ready  for 
publication  until  the  end  of  next  summer.

Lindsay  converted  five  out  of  six,  while 
the  visitors  collected  only  two  for  eight 
free  throws. 

With  ten  minutes  to  go  the  Ephs  trailed, 
36-30,  but  four  minutes  later  Tolles  topped 
four  markers  by  llarter  with  a  looper  from 
near  mid-floor  to  climax  a  determined 
rally  and  tie  the  count.  Then  Lindsay 
sandwiched  goals  b>-  Tolles  anil  Arnold's 
Stan  Mascniec  witli  a  foul  anil  followup 
to  provide  the  final  margin  with  three 
minutes  .still  remaining.  For  the  first 
time  during  the  game,  Williams  dominated 
the  backboards  in  the  final  minutes, 
holding  the  visitors  to  a  single  basket  by 
\'inc  Joy.  Alex  Scmincovilch's  missed 
foul  anil  a  spectacular  l>lock  b\'  Bob  Wal- 
lace of  another  try  b\  Joy  precedeil  an 
Arnold  time-out  with  fourteen  seconds  to 
go.  In  a  last  ditch  try  .Semincovitch 
gunned  from  mid-floor  and  Lindsay  came 
out  with  possession  as  tlie  final  whistle 
blew. 

In   Air  at   Whistle 

The  first  half  was  twenty  minutes  of 
trading  long  shots,  with  the  visitors 
gaining  the  edge,  21-19,  on  a  set  shot  by 
Mascniec  which  was  still  in  the  air  as  the 
period  ended.  Tolles  ke|)t  the  quintet 
in  the  game  during  the  first  flurry  with 
four  straight  scores.  The  lialf  wound  up 
in  much  the  same  manner  as  the  game, 
but  the  visitors  turned  the  tables,  rallying 
from  a  four  point  deficit  with  five  minutes 
left  to  take  the  lead.  Mario  Ponselle, 
high  man  for  the  losers,  got  eight  points  in 
this  half.

AMERICAN  Oil  EUROPEAN  PLAN      OwnwManaaei,  r»ak  K.  Thami,  Ir.,  '10 


X'ermont  will  bring  three  men  here  to- 
night who  saw  action  in  the  Catamounts' 
56-28  thumping  at  the  hands  of  Williams 
last  winter.  Last  year  the  Vermont  squat! 
came  back  to  annex  the  state  title  and 
Burnett  expects  a  tighter  game  against  a 
much  stronger  five. 

Captain  Don  Johnson  will  lead  seven 
Wesleyan  lettermen  here  Wednesila\' 
night  as  the  nucleus  of  a  strong  contingent 
that  has  gained  a  little  much  needed  height 
over  Coach  Wes  Fesler's  spotty  1941-42 
five.  .Soplioinores  up  from  last  year's 
Little  Three  champs  and  new»freshmeii 
have  bolstered  the  Cardinal  prospects. 
Stress  Uull-IIaiidling,  Passing 

Williams  practice  sessions  this  week  will 
be  devoted  mainly  to  drills  in  ball-handl- 
ing anil  passing,  two  aspects  which  ha\'e 
been  slighted  so  far.  Workouts  for  the 
Arnold  game  showed  carelessness  and  un- 
certaint\  in  these  fundamentals.  Burnett 
announced  \esterday  that  he  would 
pri)bal)l\-  start  the  same  five  tonight  that 
took  the  floor  Thursday. 

In  a  preliminary  game  Thursday,  the 
Williams  junior  varsity  topped  the  fresh- 
men, 32-24.  John  Wakeman  led  the 
jayvee  squad  with  nine  points,  but  Stan 
Altshuler,  \earling  ace,  took  top  honors 
for  the  game  with  thirteen  markers.

FOOTBALL 

{Continued  from  page  4) 
now  consiilering  liivision  of  the  squads  into 
three  classes —  under  ISO  pounds,  150-175 
pounds,  and  lieav>'weights.  This  woulil 
keep  150  men  in  uniform  and  solve  the 
financial  end  by  providing  at  least  one, 
sometimes  two  games  a  week  on  each 
campus. 

Complete  abolishment  of  intercollegiate 
jilay  in  the  twelve-school  Southeastern 
Conference  is  a  distinct  possibility.  The 
league  was  still  working  on  a  means  of 
maintaining  football  \\'ednestia\'  as  con- 
ference officials  prepared  to  meet  this 
weekend. 

Small  colleges  have  been  the  hardest 
hit,  but  most  arc  in  the  same  position  as 
Williams  ■ —  retaining  coaches,  making 
schedule  contracts,  anil  then  sitting  back 
to  await  the  effect  of  the  teen-age  draft, 
work  on  the  position  of  reserves,  and  the 
extent  of  the  curtailment  of  civilian  use  of 
transportation  facilities.  A  few,  however, 
have  already  announced  intentions  of  dis- 
continuing football. 

HOCKEY 

(Continued  from  page  4) 
last  year  teamed  with  Charlie  Wheeler  to 
form  the  nucleus  of  the  freshman  club,  are 
on  the  lookout  for  varsity  posts,  while 
center  Jerry  Pratt,  flanked  by  Pete  Rice 
and  Cory  Wickersham,  will  offer  the  only 
line  which  has  had  experience  as  a  unit. 
For  his  defense,  Coach  Sniveley  can 
again  count  on  the  services  of  veterans 
Crtinny  Cole,  Bernie  lioykin,  and  Ed 
McFarlan,  with  stiff  competition  from 
Sophomore  Les  Johnston,  luaking  this 
department  perhaps  the  most  reliable  of 
the  team.  In  the  nets  there  is  a  wide- 
open  scramble  to  fill  the  shoes  of  former 
Captain  Marsh  Hannock,  with  Andy 
Black,  Al  James,  Dave  Goodhart,  and 
Wally  Cole  all  fighting  to  gain  starting 
positions. 

HARSCH 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
internal  changes  in  Germany  far  more 
extensive  than  we  have  any  right  to 
count  on."  The  chances  of  this  occurring 
are  five  out  of  a  hundred,  he  said.  By 
fighting  in  North  Africa,  the  Williams 
alumnus  continued,  we  have  not  yet  be- 
gun to  win  the  war,  but  have  started  to 
"invest  the  fortress  for  the  siege  which  is 
to  come." 

Basing  his  assertion  that  Germany  will 
fight  to  the  bitter  end  on  the  fact  that  the 
Germans  fear  defeat  more  than  anything 
else,  Harsch  cited  many  examples  proving 
that  the  Germans  know  they  arc  "the 
most  hated  people  that  ever  lived."  "They 
dread  what  liberated  Czechoslovaks,  Poles, 


Norwegians,  Dutchmen,  and  Frenchmen 
will  do  to  them  if  they  lo.se,"  observed 
Harsch, 

An  eyewitness  to  the  Pearl  Harbor 
attack,  Harsch  described  the  details  of 
the  raid,  and  noted  that  the  crippling  of 
five  out  of  eight  battleships  was  "a  very 
good  thing"  for  the  Navy,  for  it  freed  the 
high  command  of  the  "paralysis"  which 
had  led  them  to  depend  on  the  dread- 
nought as  the  basic  fleet  unit. 

Describing  his  journey  with  Admiral 
William  F.  Halsey's  fleet  during  the  Gil- 
bert and  Marshall  Lslands  attack,  Harsch 
explained  that  Halsey  demonstrated  that 
a  rapidl)'  moving  task  force  of  aircraft 
carriers,  cruisers,  and  destroyers  is  a 
much  more  effective  fighting  unit.  "Pearl 
Harbor  took  the  Navy's  mind  off  the 
impediment  of  battleships,  and  showed 
us  the  way  to  wage  successful  Pacific 
warfare,"   he  noted. 

Terming  General  Franco  a  man  with 
more  potential  power  over  the  fate  of  the 
world  than  any  individual  alive,"  Harsch 
bitterly  attacked  the  American  policy 
of  aiding  him  at  the  expense  of  his  Loyalist 
democratic-  enemies. 

"We  took  the  pressure  off  China  and 
India,  anil  we  probably  saved  Siberia  by 
attacking  in  the  Solomons  when  we  did," 
declared  Harsch  in  answer  to  a  c|iiery  on 
the  Pacific  war.  Me  described  our  attack 
as  a  "tactical  offense  in  a  plan  of  strategical 
defense."

Harter  Gets  13  Points; 
Vermont  Tops  Purple, 
38-36,  in  See-Saw  Clash 


Garfield  Club  Suspends  31 -Year  History  As 
Fraternities  Sense  Necessity    of    Merging 


Coach  Dale  Burnett's  basketball 
team  meets  St.  Michael's  at  8:30  to- 
morrow night  on  the  Lasell  court. 
With  two  wins  already  on  the  record, 
the  Ephs  will  be  out  to  repeat  last 
year's  47-44  win.  The  freshmen  will 
meet  Williamstown  High  in  a  pre- 
liminary game  at  7:00. 


Williams'  court  five  came  back  from 
Saturday's  two-point  loss  to  the  Uni- 
versity of  Vermont  to  open  its  Little 
Three  Campaign  with  a  victory  over 
Wesleyan  here  Wednesday  night,  handing 
the  Cardinals  their  second  setback  in  as 
many  starts,  51-42.  Captain  Jack  Hartcr's 
corner  set  shot  gave  the  Purple  shooters 
the  (Ipening  jump  on  the  Wesmen  and 
despite  some  ragged  play,  they  were 
never  headed.  Twelve  quick  point.s  in 
the  final  five  minutes  broke  a  39-39  tie 
to  put  the  game  on  ice. 

Uncoordinated     Zone 

Harter  set  the  Williams  scoring  pace 
with  thirteen  points,  but  four  teammates 
hit  the  cords  for  eight  or  more  counters 
as  the  Burnett-coached  scjuad  pulled  a 
weave  offense  out  of  the  bag  which, 
although  seldom  worked  for  lay-ups,  went 
a  long  way  to  further  upset  an  already  un- 
coordinated Wesleyan  zone  defense.  Top 
scoring  honors,  however,  went  to  [Job 
Steinbruch,  Wes  sophomore,  who  capital- 
ized on  a  deadly  one-hander  and  several 
lay-up  chances  to  the  tune  of  sixteen 
points. 

Intermission  found  Willi;'jns  leading, 
23-18,  after  a  slow,  sloppy  twenty  minutes, 
but  better  ball-handling  by  both  clubs  and 
a  short-lived  Cardinal  rally  turned  the 
game  into  a  fast-moving  duel.  After 
three  deadlocks  in  the  thirty  bracket, 
Harter  dropped  two  in  a  row  to  make  it 
43-39  and  pave  the  way  for  an  nll-VVil- 
liams  windup.  Don  Lindsay  and  Stein- 
bruch traded  one-handers  and  a  Wes  foul 
toss  ran  the  count  to  45-42.  Here,  with 
only  some  eighty  seconds  remaining,  Dick

IFC  Acts  on  Problems 
of   Garfield   Dispersal 

Martin    Succeeds    Lindsay 
As    Rushing    Chairman 

By  stabilizing  campus  board  bills, 
setting  the  house  ([uotas,  and  providing 
for  waiters,  the  Interfraternity  Council 
this  week  acted  to  remove  the  most 
pressing  of  the  problems  involved  in 
shifting  members  of  the  Garfield  Club 
from  their  eating  facilities  in  Currier  Hall 
to  the  various  fraternities. 

At  the  same  meeting  C.  Hugh  Martin, 
Jr.  '44  was  named  to  replace  Donald  McK. 
Lindsay  '44  as  rushing  chairman.  The 
post  was  vacated  when  Lindsay  was 
chosen  president  of  the  council  to  succeed 
George  E.  Stanley  '44,  who  was  drafted. 
Minimiu  Fiscal  Adjustments 

A  weekly  board  of  $10.50  was  decided 
upon  as  a  fair  mean  between  the  $10.00 
Garfield  Club  rates  and  the  slightly 
higher  rates  which  fraternity  members 
are  now  paying.  The  stabilized  board 
will  help  to  minimize  the  financial  adjust- 
ments made  necessary  by  changes  from 
the  club  to  fraternities. 

A  quota  of  ten  Club  members  for  each 
social  group  was  set  by  the  Interfraternity 
Council  as  a  practical  number.  Whether 
or  not  this  quota  is  filled  depends  on  the 
numerical  lottery  used  to  divide  the  club 
and  also  on  the  number  of  waiters  sent 
to  each  house. 

The  waiters  from  the  Garfield  Club  will 
be  assigned  by  Albert  V.  Osterhout, 
executive  secretary  of  the  Student  Aid 
Committee,  and  Frank  R.  Thorns,  Jr., 
campus  business  manager.  They  will 
take  into  account  the  number  of  waiters 
working  in  the  houses  at  present  and  the 
financial  ability  of  each  group  to  absorb 
extra  waiters.

If  the  Army  Enlisted  Reserve  is  called 
next  February,  fraternities  at  Williams  will 
face  combination  or  extinction.  Accord- 
ing to  approximate  figures  compiled  by 
the  Dean's  Office  there  will  not  be  a 
fraternity  on  campus  even  at  the  beginning 
of  next  semester  able  to  maintain  a  sound 
financial  standing. 

The  addition  of  members  of  the  Garfield 
Club  to  each  house  will  help  bolster  I  he 
social  groups  for  the  remainder  of  this 
academic  year,  but  the  real  problem  lies  in 
the  decrease  of  boarders  in  individual 
houses.  Every  house  depends  upon  room 
rentals  for  the  major  part  of  its  income. 
Only  About  30O  Students 

In  his  speech  to  the  college  last  Satin- 
da\-  Pres.  James  P,  Baxter,  3rd  revealed 
that  he  believed  the  Army  Enlisted  Re- 
serve would  be  called  by  the  end  of  the 
present  semester.  Such  action  would  ciil 
the  student  body  to  approximately  301)

minority  of  Army  Air  Forces  men. 

Director     of     Admissions     Thomas    J.

when  he  revealed  the  results  of  a  check  on

From  the  first  "smoker"  held  in  the 
"Common  fteom"  on  the  evening  of  Tues-

banquet  of  the  Garfield  Club  Monday

members  In  their  Currier  Hall  dining 
room  for  the  duration,  stretches  a  thirty-

by  the  campus  non-fraternity  social 
group.  It  is  a  history  now  temporarily 
suspended  by  the  war's  necessitating 
Navy  use  of  house  facilities. 

On  Present  Site 

Before  1900,  all  non-fraternity  men, 
and  some  fraternity  men  also,  ate  at  a 
boarding  house  on  the  present  site  of  the 
Stetson  Library,  called  "College  Hall." 
It  was  run  by  the  college,  and  a  week's 
board  was  three  dollars.  Inexpensive  even 
In  those  times  when  the  dollar  was  worth 
more  than  It  is  today.  There  was  no 
social  organization  of  an>'  sort  at  College 
Hall;  It   was  merely  a  boarding  house.

Richard  Ragle  Ex-'45  and  Fellow  Ambulance 
Driver  Capture  Seven  Armed  Nazi  Soldiers 


With  the  curt  order,  "Pile  your  guns 
here  at  our  feet,"  Richard  H.  Ragle  ex-'45 
and  companion  Henry  L.  Pierce,  unarmed 
volunteer  ambulance  drivers  in  Lybia, 
early  this  month  captured  seven  starving 
German  soldiers,  remnants  of  Field 
Marshall  Erwin  Rommel's  fleeing  Afrika 
Corps. 

The  affair  started,  according  to  Pierce 
in  a  recent  letter  to  his  parents,  when  he 
and  Ragle,  free  for  a  few  hours  from  the 
task  of  succoring  both  German  and 
British  wounded,  decided  they  would 
take  a  swim.  "Dick  Ragle  wanted  to 
show  me  a  lovely  spot  where  he  had  been 
camped  before,"  wrote  Pierce,  "and  where 
there  were  some  palm  trees,  grass,  and  a 
lovely  beach.  We  parked  the  attibulance 
under  the  first  grove  of  palms,  locked  it 
and  started  for  the  beach  when  we  heard 
a  noise  in  the  other  group  of  palms." 

The  noise  came  from  seven  starved 
Nazi  soldiers,  who  had  been  living  on  a  diet 
of  palm-tree  berries,  boiled  in  water. 
Strolling  over  to  the  grove  from  which 
the  sound  had  come,  Ragle  and  Pierce 
discovered  the  Germans  only  too  eager  to 
surrender.  One  of  them  was  desperately 
waving    a    white    towel.    After   putting 


down  their  rifles  immediately  at  Ragle's 
command  the  Nazis  were  asked  if  they 
had  eaten.  To  their  negative  reply,  the 
two  ambulance  drivers  proposed  a  feast  of 
macaroni,  which  they  had  been  saving 
for  themselves  as  a  special  treat. 

"Lunch  was  a  very  pleasant  affair," 
Pierce  continues  in  the  letter,  "with  them 
(the  Germans)  hauling  water  to  wash  and 
cook  with."  After  lunch.  Pierce  made  the 
discovery  that  he  had  lost  the  keys  to  the 
ambulance.  So  all  of  them,  Ragle,  Pierce, 
and  their  seven  Nazi  captives,  joined  in 
the  hunt  for  the  keys.  It  turned  out  that 
Pierce  had  had  the  keys  all  the  time,  but 
had  forgotten  where  he  had  put  them  dur- 
ing the  excitement  of  the  capture.  He 
confesses  in  the  letter,  "I  had  hidden  them 
so  that  if  there  was  any  trouble,  they 
couldn't  make  us  drive  off." 

The  keys  found,  the  Germans  were  just 
on  the  point  of  being  herded  into  the 
ambulance  for  a  journey  back  to  the 
British  headquarters,  when  a  New  Zealand 
lieutenant  and  his  men  passed  by.  They 
were  hailed  by  Pierce  and  Ragle,  and,  for 
a  minute,  Pierce  goes  on,  "we  stood  in 
more  danger  from  them  than  the  Ger-

Roosevelt  Honors 
Albert  W.  Tweedy 

Navy  Cross  Posthumously 
Awarded  for  Heroism 
During    Midway     Battle 

The  Navy  Cross  with  citatum  has  been 
posthumously  awarded  to  Albert  W. 
Tweedy  ex-'42,  first  lieutenant  in  the 
U.  S.  Marine  Air  Corps  Reserve,  who  was 
killed  during  the  Battle  of  Midway  June 
4  and  5  after  attacking  the  Japanese  alr- 
craft-tarriei  Agaga.  In  a  iccent  letter  to 
Tweedy's  parents.  Col.  John  Dixon  of  the 
U.  S.  Marine  Corps  notified  them  that 
President  Roosevelt  had  authorized  the 
award  for  their  son's  heroic  cf>nduct  dur- 
ing that  action. 

'Withering  Fire' 

The  citation  with  the  Navy  Cross  read: 
"For  extraortllnary  heroism  as  a  pilot  in 

Marine  Scout-Bombing  Squadron    

during  action  against  enemy  Japanese 
forces  in  the  Battle  of  Midway  on  June 
4,  1942.  During  the  initial  attack  upon  an 
eneiTiy  aircraft  carrier.  First  Lieutenant 
Tweedy,  then  .Second  Lieutenant,  In  the 
face  of  withering  fire  from  Japanese 
fighter  guns  and  anti-aircraft  batteric-, 
dived  his  plane  to  a  perilously  low  altitude 
before  releasint;  his  bf)nib.  His  cool 
courage  and  conscientious  devotion  to 
duty  were  in  keeping  with  the  highest 
traditions  of  tlie  United  States  Naval 
Service." 

Twieedy's  death  was  first  reported  In 
The  Record  of  July  10,  Further  de- 
tails of  his  part  in  the  Battle  of  Midway 
were  printed  In  the  August  28  Issue.  In 
thatissuca  squadron  mate, and  an  Amherst 
alumnus,  was  quoteil  in  his  account  of  the 
battle.  He  wrote  that  Tweedy's  plane 
had  either  been  shot  to  pieces  by  the 
intense  barrage  of  anti-aircraft  fire,  or 
put  out  of  action  b\  the  swarms  of  Zero 
fighters. 

Considered  '4.0'  Flyer 

A  gunner  in  the  writer's  squadron  felt 
certain  that  Tweedy  had  completed  his 
mission  and  was  even  leading  the  first 
division  of  American  bomhers  away  from 
the  Agaga  when  his  plane  was  hit.  Tweedy 
was  considered  a  "4.0"  flyer  —  a  high 
compliment  among  aviators. 

Tweedy  left  college  at  the  end  of  his 

sophomore     year     to    enlist     in    Marine 

Aviation.     As  an  aviation  cadet,  he  was

During     World     War     I 

Harry  Augustus  Garfield  '85,  LL.I)., 
L.H.D.,  eighth  president  of  Williams 
College  and  nationally-known  figure  In 
public  affairs,  died  of  natural  causes 
Saturday  morning  in  his  apartment  at 
the  Williams  Inn.  At  his  bedside  were 
members  of  his  inuncdiate  family. 

Eldest  son  of  James  Abram  Garfield  '56, 
twentieth  President  of  the  United  States, 
President  Emeritus  Garfield  was  for 
twenty  -  five  years  heail  of  the  college. 
His  most  important  work  affecting  the 
nation  as'  a  wliole  was  in  the  capacity  of 
national  fuel  administrator  during  World 
War  I. 

Outstanding  Undergraduate 

While  a  student  at  Williams,  Dr. 
Garfield  was  one  of  the  most  outstanding 
men  of  his  day,  attaining  positions  on  the 
footb.ill  team  for  three  years,  receiving 
honors  in  several  subjects,  and  being 
appointed  editor-in-chief  of  the  Atheneum 
during;  his  junior  year.  He  was  later 
elected  class  president  and  class  day 
orator.  After  graduation,  he  taught  for  a 
year  at  St.  Paul's  School,  and  then  entered 
the  study  of  law  at  Columbia  University 
and  Oxford. 

Upon  his  return  to  America,  he  was 
admitted  to  the  Ohio  Bar,  and  established 
law  offices  in  Cleveland  In  partnership 
with  his  brother  James,  who  was  later  to 
become  I'nltcul  States  Secretary  of  the 
Interior.  Through  his  work,  the  Cleve- 
land Municipal  Assoclati(jn  was  formed  to 
put  down  the  boss  rule  that  had  corrupted 
business  and  government  in  that  city.  In 
a  series  of  stump  speeches  all  over  the 
city,  Dr.  Garfield  aroused  the  citizens  to 
his  cause,  and  ultimate  success  met  his 
efforts.  Later  he  was  elected  president 
of  the  Cleveland  Chamber  of  Conmierce. 
He  was  also  an  organizer,  trustee,  and 
vice-president  of  the  Cleveland  Trust 
Compain',  and  an  organizer  of  the  Cleve- 
land Water  Company. 

Friendship  with  Wilson 

After  teaching  law  for  five  years  at 
Western  Reserve  University,  he  was  called 
to  Princeton  to  fill  the  chair  of  politics. 
From  1903  until  his  call  to  the  presidency 
of  Williams  he  remained  at  Princeton, 
cultivating  there  a  deep  friendship  with

The  Tale  of  Two  Systems 

First  the  Garfield  Club  and  .... 

One  hiindred  and  ninety  members  of  the  Oarfield  Club  will  eat 
together  in  Currier  Hall  for  the  last  time  Monday  evening.  On  January 
4,  (Jarfield  Club  men  will  eat  with  members  of  the  fifteen  other  social 
units;  undergraduate  life  will  center  on  fraternity  row.  And  in  every- 
thing but  the  actual  .sense  of  the  word,  the  Garfield  Club  will  die  next 
^Monday.  For  in  everything  but  the  actual  sense  of  the  word  the  Gar- 
field Club  wasn't  a  club  —  it  was  an  eating  house.  Petty  factions  and 
cliques  split  its  niembershi])  a  hundred  different  ways.  There  was  no 
unity;  there  were  but  few  attempts  at  that  goal.  The  Garfield  Club  was 
not  what  it  might  have  been,  what  it  should  have  been.  The  force  which 
should  have  been  exerted  on  campus  by  a  social  unit  of  nearly  two  hundred 
men  has  been  lacking  ever  since  its  organization. 

We  do  not  here  attack  the  (iarfield  Club  system  as  a  system ;  its  role 
at  Williams  College  should  have  been  tremendous.  We  do  condemn  the 
Garfield  Club  .system  because  it  has  not  fulfilled  that  role.  And  we  look, 
then,  for  the  rebirth  of  a  club  —  not  the  club,  but  a  club.  We  look  for 
the  establishment  of  a  social  organization  which  will  jilay  the  part  the 
Garfield  Club  might  have  played,  of  an  organization  with  esprit  de  corps, 
of  an  organization  that  is  an  organization  and  not  a  grou])  of  factions  and 
cliques. 

The  problem  of  fraternity-Garfield  Club  integration  has  yet  to  be 
solved.  New  living  and  eating  habits  will  inevitably  result  in  an  initial 
awkwardness,  but  the  transition  must  be  effected  as  tiuickly  and  as 
easily  as  possible.  It  is  difficult  to  see  any  but  a  superficial  connection 
between  the  war  effort  and  this  adjustment  of  living  conditions.  It  is 
hard  to  see  how  firing  a  gun  in  Algeria  can  be  related  to  the  successful 
merger  of  fraternity  and  Club  groups  on  the  Williams  campus.  But  there 
is  a  connection;  the  common  denominator  is  the  spirit  of  cooperation 
which  is  fundamental  to  the  American  war  effort.  The  Garfield  Club 
has  made  a  sacrifice,  has  accepted  the  offer  of  fraternities  to  make  use 
of  their  eating  facilities.  The  cooperation,  like  the  arrangement  must  be 
two-sided.  There  can  be  neither  resentment  nor  sabotage  in  this  im- 
])rovised    system. 

....  then  the  Fraternities 

There  has  been  much  to  say  against  the  fraternity  system;  we've 
said  much  in  these  columns.  The  feeling  expressed  by  at  least  one 
fraternity  man,  that  a  college  newspaper  lias  no  right  to  di.scuss  such 

"hallowed,  traditional,  private  matters  as  fraternities,"  exemplifies  much   ciirriculiim  coniiiiittcr  because  the  recoiii- 
of  what  is  wrong.     Perha])s  the  fraternities  .should  have  been  first  to  go 
but  the  demands  of  war  are  not  governeil  by  moral  issues.     There's  al,s( 


ON  WILLIAMS 
IN   WARTIME 


=  HV  THE  EDITORS- 


'riic  IC.xeciilive  Committee  of  student 
govcTumont  recently  announced  its  de- 
cisit)!!  to  include  a  non-voting  faculty 
representative  at  discussions  of  mutual 
interest  to  the  faculty  and  student  bodies. 
That  move  represented  a  partial  solution 
of  one  cif  Williams'  most  serious  problems, 
but  most  of  lis  knew  there  woidd  be  no 
recognition  of  student  government  on  the 
part  of  the  faculty;  student  representation 
at  facult>'  meetings  on  problems  of  mutual 
interest  or  a  liaison  committee  of  factdty 
and  tnidergraduate  leaders  for  discussion 
and  action  based  on  their  findings  would 
never  he  realized. 

This  expression  of  the  desire  for  closer 
cooperation  between  the  two  bodies  would 
go  unnoticed  as  had  others  in  the  past. 
The  chairman  of  the  faculty  would  smile 
and  say  that  student  government  had  tlone 
nothiiin  to  justify  such  responsibility;  we 
would  protest  that  it  hadn't  been  given  a 
chance.     But  the  matter  would  be  closed. 

The  matter  would  be  closeil  as  other 
matters  have  been  in  the  past.  A 
"canned  news"  item  from  the  Office  of 
War  Information,  "Pearl  Harbor  —  A 
Time  to  Take  Stock,"  recently  posed  two 
questions  to  students  at  colleges  through- 
out the  nation. 

1.  Does  your  college  have  a  war  council 
or  comparable  organization}  If  not,  is 
the  sliiilent  government  body  taking  steps 
to  organize  one} 

The  answer  is  no  — ■  no  because  the 
faculty  balked  on  that  score  too;  no  be- 
cause a  student-organized  council  with- 
out the  sanction  of  the  f.iculty  could 
accomplish  nothing;  no,  because  the 
faculty  has  refused  to  sanction  such  a 
council,  because  even  last  summer's  War 
Committee,  composed  of  five  faculty 
members  and  five  undergraduates,  was 
not  given  the  authority  to  act  on  its 
findings  and  was  allowed  to  die  out. 

2.  Does  your  campus  war  program 
provide  for  efficient  handling  of  the  follo^o- 
ing  war  activities: 

A  student  curriculum  committee  to  study 
needed  changes  brought  about  by  war} 

A  discussion  program  on  war  issues  and 
post-war  problems? 

There  were  a  number  of  things  listed. 
Some  would  be  impossible  at  Williams; 
we  cotild  answer  "yes"  to  a  few.  For 
most  of  them,  and  for  the  two  specifically 
mentioned  above,  the  answer  was  no,  it 
does    not.      It    does    not    provide    for    a 


mendations  made  on  that  score  by  the 
late  and  regretted  War  Committee  were 
received  by  some  of  the  faculty  with 
a  strong  argument  for  the  existence  of  that  .system,  one  we'd  hesitate  to  ;  le.scntment.  It  does  not  provide  for  a 
attack.  We  firmly  believe  the  merits  of  the  fraternity  .system  outweigh  |  discussion  program  because  the  adminis-

fraternities  as  units  will  be  impossible  despite  financial  aid  by  (iarfield

fraternity  income  after  .lanuaiy  will  threaten  the  financial  stability  of  all 
but  the  strongest  houses  on  campus. 

One  answer  lies  in  I'rateriiily  consolidation  to  about  six  active  units. 
Each  active  Inui.se,  if  such  a  plan  were  effected,  would  then  provide  eating 
facilities  for  api)roximately  fifty  uiiilergraduates,  rooms  for  fifteen.  War 
conditions  may.  at  soine  future  (late,  necessitate  Ica.sing  of  all  fraternities

When  The  Record  went  to  press  last 
night  the  following  were  in  the  Thompson 
Infirmary:  Branson,  R.  F.  Wright  '43, 
Bar.samian  '44,  Crackncll,  and  Gilday  '46. 


and  murmurings  to  the  contrary,  no  shortage 
of  liberal  arts  instructors  is  now  apparent, 
and  'where  such  shortages  should  arise,  the 
college  now  plans  either  to  recall  retired 
professors  or  to  procure  new  men  to  fill  the 
vacancies. 

While  instruction,  hours  of  the  faculty 
members  affected  by  the  Navy  program  will 
increase  on  the  average  by  three  hours  each 
per  day,  the  science  departments  will  remain 
virtually  intact,  and  instruction  in  all  de- 
partments will  continue  except  where  de- 
creased enrollment  in  .tome  courses  does  not 
warrant  it. 

President  Baxter's  announcement  shows 
where  Williams  College,  as  a  liberal  arts 
institution,  stands.  Al  the  same  time  ii 
clarifies  the  issue  discussed  above  and 
invalidates  the  argument  of  some  members 
of  the  factdty  that  conditions  after  graduation 
in  February  would  preclude  ihe  necessity 
for  a  War  Committee,  for  an  estimated 
300  undergraduates  Williams  College  will 
remain  Williams  College — separate  and 
distinct  from  the  Navy  school.  For  them 
the  needs  of  Williams  College  will  he  the 
same  after  February  loo. 

The  rumor  that  members  of  the  Arm\- 
Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  will  be  called  to 
active  duty  early  in  Januarj-  has  been 
denied.  AERC  men  will,  according  to 
the  announcement  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment, receive  orders  at  that  time,  but 
none  will  be  expected  to  report  im- 
mediately. It  is  believed  that  members 
of  the  AERC  will  be  called  to  active  duty 
shortly  after  the  end  of  the  semester.

CBM  Bookkeeping  Plan 
Proves  Itself  in  Houses 

I  mprovement     Prevents 
Mythical    Paper    Profits 

F'rank  R.  Thorns,  Jr.,  campus  business 
manager,  stated  this  week  that  the  system 
of  uniform  house  liookkeeping  Instituted 
by  CBM  Noveml)er  1  is  now  firmly 
established  and  meeting  with  the  approval 
oi  house  treasurers  and  stewards.  The 
method  has  standardized,  simplified,  and 
cut  the  costs  of  house  accounting  forms  to 
a  minimum,  and  has  also  provided  a  known 
plan  that  can  be  kept  regardless  of  changes 
in  individual  treasurers  because  of  wartime 
exigencies. 

A  slight  improvement  has  also  been 
made.  Thorns  announced,  that  will  see 
account  Ijooks  held  open  for  an  additional 
week  at  the  close  of  each  month  so  that 
any  late  bills  contracted  during  the  month 
may  be  paid  from  revenue  collected  thr- 
oughout that  month.  In  this  manner,  a 
favorable  balance  that  is  purely  m>thical 
cannot  be  carried  over,  and  a  better 
picture  of  the  house's  finances  during  each 
succeeding  month  is  portrayed. 

The  Undergraduate  Treasurer's  Com- 
mittee, at  a  recent  meeting,  adopted  the 
college's  dormitory  policy  in  regard  to 
the  payment  of  rebates  on  house  room 
rents.     Under  this  scheme,    if  a   man   is 


forced  lo  report  for  active  military  duly 
before  the  end  of  the  semesl<'r,  the  social 
units  will  remit  the  portion  of  his  rent 
dating  from  the  time  of  his  actual  entrance 
into  assigned  service. 

In  regard  to  board  ri'fimds  of  men  leav- 
ing Williams,  the  expression  of  (jpinion 
by  the  treasurers  of  the  sixteen  organiza- 
tions indicated  that  one  full  week  (if 
board  would  have  lo  be  missed  by  the 
dividual  concerned.  Otherwise,  thepresenl 
fairly  low  board  rates  would  not  be 
possible. 

NAZI  CAPTIVES

mans,"  for  the  New  Zealanders  advanced 
on  the  group  with  drawn  rifles. 

After  the  Germans  had  been  turned  over 
to  these  men,  the  ambulance  drivers  were 
casually  asked  if  they  had  "frisked"  the 
Germans  for  hidden  weapons.  "We  saiil, 
'No,'  although  we  cooked  lunch  and  have 
been  with  them  for  an  hour  and  a  half," 
Pierce  admitted.  "You  should  have  seen 
the  New  Zealanders'  expression.s.  Well, 
we  finally  had  our  swims." 

Ragle,  who  left  Williams  last  February 
after  five  months  in  college,  was  pledged 
to  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon.  He  played 
halfback  on  the  freshman  football  team. 
He  joined  the  American  Field  Services 
almost  immediately  upon  his  departure 
from  Williams.  Pierce  graduated  from 
Harvard  in  1933.

GARFIELD  CLUB 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
husband,  the  noted  lithographer),  and  in 
the.  fall  of  n09  Currier  Hall  was  com- 
pleted, and  Pres.  Harry  A.  Garfield 
offered  it  to  the  Commons  group,  which 
was  as  yet  unorganized.  The  non- 
fraternity  men  moved  into  the  building, 
making  use  of  the  upper  and  lower 
lounges  and  the  niodern  dining  room,  and 
housing  themselves  in  new  bedrooms 
upstairs.  This  single  mcjvement  gave  the 
grotip  the  unity  which  it  had  lacked  in 
College  Hall,  and  demands  for  an  active 
social  organization  were  met  when  a  group 
of  enthusiasts  arranged  the  formation  in 
1911  of  an  "informal  organization  which 
is  to  be  the  'Conmions  Club'."  Its  mem- 
bership was  to  consist  of  all  non-fraternity 
men  who  wished  to  join,  and  its  object 
"to  foster  a  democratic  spirit  and  in- 
crease the  attractiveness  of  the  Ciminions 
quarters  as  a  rallying  place  for  all  under- 
graduates," A  Board  of  Governors  super- 
vised, and  committees  were  appointed  to 
arrange  dances,  smokers,  and  other 
entertainment,  the  first  such  affair  being 
held  October  24  of  that  year. 

Complaints  about  the  food,  and  lack 
of  group  unity  and  interest  still  hampered 
the  Club,  and  its  membershii)  dropped 
from  its  previous  maximum  of  thirty-five 
men.  It  was  obvious  to  a  few  that 
something  had  to  be  done  to  assure  the 
Club's  future  success,  so  the>-  succeeded, 
on  December  21,  1914,  in  getting  student 
management  for  the  organization  when 
the  Hoard  of  Governors  signed  a  contract 
with  the  treasurer  of  the  College  re- 
lin(|i'ishing  control. 

The  new  student  management  stimulat- 


ed a  growth  in  Club  membership,  and 
modernization  and  refurnishing  of  the 
nxmis  from  1924  lo  1925  brought  an  in- 
creasingly influential  group  to  Currier 
Hall.  An  athlotic  power,  the  Club  bested 
the  fraternities  for  several  years  for  the 
Trophy  cup,  and  in  1926  eleven  Club 
men  were  on  varsity  teams.  With  an 
influx  of  new  scholarship  men,  its  scho- 
lastic standing  grew  so  that  il  has  con- 
sistently ranked  within  the  top  three 
social  groups.

FRATERNITIES 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
the  number  of  reservists  in  college.  In 
relation  to  the  social  groups  Mr.  Wood 
said,  "I  don't  see  how  fraternities  can 
operate  with  such  a  limited  number  of 
students  returning  in  February." 
"Fraternities  Must  Combine" 

Frank  R.  Thoms,  Jr.  campus  business 
manager,  suggested  that  "fraternities 
must  combine  if  they  are  to  keep  going. 
Any  attempt  at  alignment  by  the  frater- 
nities themselves  will  result  in  confusion 
unless  controlled  impersonally." 

The  fraternity  side  w.is  stated  by 
Donald  McK.  Lindsay  '44  president  of 
the  Interfraternity  Council.  "It  is  too 
early  to  see  just  what  the  status  of  the 
houses  will  be  next  semester.  If  the 
number  of  houses  must  be  limited,  the 
ilecision  cannot  be  arbitrary,  but  must  be 
drawn  up  in  part  by  the  fraternities. 
6  Boarders  Per  Fraternity 

Actual  figures  show  that  if  the  seventy 
thirt>-  ratio  is  maintained  between  stu 
dents  living  in  fraternities  and  those  in 
dormitories,  only  ninety  to  one  hundred 
men  would  live  in  fraternit;-  houses.  This 
figure  breaks  down  further  to  six  boarders 
for  each  of  the  social  groups. 

More  complications  are  added  when  it  is 
realized  that  these  figures  are  taken  on  an 
average  basis.  The  dean's  office  expects 
that  some  houses  may  have  as  few  as  one 
or  two  men  boarding.  The  treasurer's 
oflice  hesitates  to  alter  the  sex'enty-thirty 
ratio  because  such  action  would  result 
either  in  inefficient  partial  use  of  eating 
facilities  or  arbitrary  assignment  of 
boarders  to  fraternities.

Hole  dropped  two  nipiil-fiie  clinchers.  At 
the  teii-secoiul  mark  Johnny  liridguwater 
put  the  total  over  fifty  on  his  fourth  hoop. 
Hole  played  a  bang-up  game  on  hoth 
offense  and  defense,  getting  five  baskets 
in  ten  tries  and  making  several  steals 
when  the  visitors  were  driving  for  the 
lead.  Wallace  and  Tolles  also  showed 
well  in  the  back  court.  On  offense 
Lindsay  did  his  best  job  to  date  from  the 
pivot  post,  while  Wallace,  the  only  Eph 
starter  who  failed  to  collect  four  baskets, 
was  so  bottled  up  in  front  of  the  Wes  zone 
setup  that  he  was  held  to  five  shots,  col- 
lecting his  lone  bucket  from  near  mid-floor. 

Comeback  Spurt  Died 

Against  \'ermont  the  coiirtnien  dropped 
from  five  points  in  front  to  a  si.\-point 
deficit  in  the  first  five  minutes  of  the 
second  half,  and  when  a  comeback  spurt 
died  out,  woimd  up  on  the  short  end  of  a 
38-36  count.  Larry  Killick,  N'ermont 
forward,  was  top  man  with  seven  baskets

Bill  Schmidt  Elected 
Squash    Team  Captain 

William  C.  Schmidt,  Jr.  '43,  of 
Philipse  Manor,  N.  Y.,  was  elected 
captain  of  the  1943  si|uash  team  at  a 
meeting  held  this  week.  Last  year

feating favorite  Dude  Hemphill  e.\- 
'43  in  the  final  round.

JV's  Outswim  RPI 
In  Season's  Opener 

Yearling  Quintet  Bows 
to  Adams  High,  41-39 
in  Last  Thirty  Seconds 

The  JV  swimming  team  opened  its 
season  with  a  victorx'  last  Saturday  when 
it  downed  the  RPI  jayvees,  39-35,  in 
Lasell  Pool,  while  the  yearling  quintet 
lost  its  opener  to  Adams  High  by  a  41-39 
count  in  a  prelim  to  the  varsity  game 
with  Weslcyan  on  the  home  court  Wednes- 
day night. 

In  the  swimming  meet  the  Purple  JV's 
dropped  behind  in  the  first  race  when 
Dinhoffer  of  RPI  came  from  behind  to 
nose  out  freshman  Duil  Taft  in  the  final 
lap  of  the  300-yard  medley  relay,  but  the 
Lphmen  came  back  fast  in  the  220-yard 
free-st\le  when  Pete  Lanier  and  Jon 
W  ilfordswam  under  the  wire  first  and  third 
respectively.  Sam  .Maples  and  Harry 
Earle  scored  in  1-2  order  in  the  fifty  to  give 
the  Purple  a  lead  that  it  never  lost. 
Only  Double  Winner 

Al  See  easily  captured  the  dive  for 
Williams,  while  freshmen  Harry  Earle 
and  Zander  Budge  placed  first  in  the 
100-yard  freestyle  and  the  LSO-yard  back- 
stroke respectively  to  lengthen  the  Eph 
lead.  Dieck  of  RPI  finished  ahead  of 
Helms  and  Townsend  in  the  200-vard 
breast  stroke,  but  senior  tankman  Pete 
Lanier,  the  only  double  winner  of  the  day, 
put  the  Purple  back  in  the  win  column 
with  a  victory  in  the  440,  while  Wilford 
placed  third  behind  IJryce  of  RPI, 
finishing;  in  exacth'  the  same  order  as  in 
the  220.

Swimming  Program  Goes  All-Out  to  Meet 
Wartime  Problems  and  Train  Service  Men 

Bob  Muir's  swimming  program  has  gone  all-out  to  meet  the  wartime  problems 
of  competitive  intercollegiate  sports,  and  at  the  same  time  train  draft  and  reserve- 
age  students  in  the  fundamentals  of  life-saving.  Physical  training  classes  are 
included  in  the  plan  to  teacli  every  Williams  student    to  save    himself   and   others 

should  he  be  thrown  into  the  water  while  serving  with  the  Army  or  Navy. 

A. 

Builds  up  Racing  Spirit 

With  the  number  of  meets  drastically 
curtailed, Muirhas  set  up  a  system  of  week- 
ly intramural  matches  between  Purple  and 
Gold  teams,  chosen  from  his  unusually 
large  scpiad  of  forty-two  men.  The 
meets  build  up  racing  spirit,  keep  the 
entire  s(|uad  at  top  form,  and  arc  held  on 
a  regular  schedule  with  officials  and  scor- 
ing. 

In  addition  to  these  meets  the  Prince 
and  Bowker  prizes  provide  recognition 
for  all-around  swinuning  ability  proven  in 
a  series  of  events  held  between  the  squad 
members  who  have  not  won  varsity  letters. 
One  record  has  already  been  broken  by 
Ross  Macdonald's  24.7  second  fifty-yard 
freestyle  tin)e. 

Although  records  made  are  not  official, 
the    team    winning   each   series   of   three 


meets  is  given  a  banquet.  If  one  team 
predominates,  changes  to  balance  the 
sides  are  made.  In  the  first  two  meets  this 
year  the  final  decision  was  not  made  until 
the  last  event. 

Newly  Discovered  Fact 

All  swimmers  receive  instruction  based 
on  the  newly  discovered  fact  that  the 
breast  stroke  is  the  most  practical  to  use 
for  life  saving  or  staying  afloat.  Until 
recently  the  sidestroke  was  standard  for 
all  of  the  .services.  Investigations,  spurred 
by  the  knowledge  that  both  the  Japanese 
and  Germans  train  their  soldiers  to  use 
the  breast  stroke,  have  since  shifted  the 
training  emphasis. 

Physical  training  classes  go  through  a 
rigid  four  week  course.     Muir  estimates 
that  ninety  per  cent  of  those  who  take  the

A  scpiad  of  twenty  men  will  assemble  at 
Lake  Placid  the  night  of  December  25  to 
represent  Williams  in  the  annual  Lake 
Placid  Club  College  Invitation  Hockey 
Tourney  with  the  Samuel  H.  Packer 
Trophy  again  at  stake.  Colgate,  Cornell, 
Hamilton,  Middlebury,  and  MIT  have 
all  accepted  bids  and  will  provide  the 
opposition  in  hockey's  portion  of  the 
yearly  College  Week  Carnival. 
Speedy  Red  Raiders 

Not  since  1939  has  a  Purple  sextet 
carried  off  the  honors  in  the  Placid 
Tourney,  being  thwarted  in  each  of  the 
last  two  vacation  tournaments  by  the 
speedy  Red  Raiders  from  Colgate,  who 
will  enter  this  year  with  the  hope  of 
bagging  their  third  crown  in  a  row.  Last 
Christmas  a  late  flurry  of  goals  buried 
the  Ephmen  under  a  5-1  count  in  the  final 
contest  of  the  Tourney,  a  similar  fate  as  the 
3-0  whitewashing  applied  in   1940. 

This  year  Williams  will  open  its  assault 
on  the  Colgate  monopoly  by  engaging  the 
Hamilton  pucksters  Saturday,  December 
26,  and  if  victorious  will  take  on  the 
winner  of  the  Cornell-MIT  game  for  the 
right  to  enter  the  finals  against  either  the 
Red  Raiders  or  Middlebury.  Each  team 
plays  a  total  of  three  games  as  a  result  of 
the  special  Consolation  Tourney. 

Coach   Whoops    Sniveley   has   selected 
a   squad   which   will   include   three  lines,

an  RPl  victory  in  tliir  400-yard  freestyle 
relay,  bringing  the  final  score  to  39-35  in 
favor  of  Williams. 

The  freshman  basketball  team  lost  a 
heart-breaker  to  Adams  High  Wednes- 
day by  a  slim  two  point  margin  when 
Zeloga  of  the  visitors  intercepted  a  Wil- 
liams pass  and  sunk  a  lay-up  shot  with 
less  than  thirty  seconds  left  to  play. 

Paced  by  high  scoring  Art  Hurke,  who 
garnered  nineteen  points  during  the  course 
of  the  evening,  the  Ephmen  fought  hard  all 
night  and  grabbed  the  lead  several  times 
during  the  game,  but  a  last  minute  Adams 
spurt  defeated  them. 

The  freshman  fi\e  will  play  its  second 
game  this  .Saturday  against  Williamstown 
High  at  7:00  p.m.  in  the  Lasell  Gym  before

Max  Werner,  Battle 
Strategist,  to  Return 
For  1943  Conference 


Max  Werner,  leading  authority  on 
Russian  military  might  who  urged  swift 
opening  of  the  second  front  when  he  spoke 
at  the  Spring  Conference  here  last  March, 
has  accepted  the  Lecture  Committee's 
invitation  to  participate  in  this  year's 
curtailed  conference  on  "War  and  Peace" 
January  16  and  17,  it  was  announced  this 
week  by  L.  Marshall  Van  Deusen  '44, 
conference  chairman. 

Werner,  author  of  the  recent  best-seller. 
The  Greul  Offensive,  is  an  advocate  of  all- 
out  land,  sea,  and  air  warfare,  and  he  alone 
accurately  predicted  Russian  successes  and 
strength  in  the  Nejv  Republic  at  the  time 
Hitler  attacked.  Mr.  Werner's  name 
adds  to  the  growing  list  of  participants 
which  already  includes  Elmo  Roper, 
Fortune  poll  chief;  J.  Raymond  Walsh, 
director  of  education  and  research  for  the 
CIO;  and  Robert  Sherwood,  playwright 
director  of  the  Overseas  Division  of  the 
OWI. 

Rumors  that  the  conference,  which  will 
not  invite  outside  visitors  as  in  past  years 
because  of  war  limitations  on  transporta- 
tion, would  be  cancelled  because  of  the 
changes  in  the  college  schedule  were  un- 
founded, declared  Chairman  Van  Deusen, 
and  the  conference  committee  is  proceed- 
ing with  plans  which  include  round  tables 
and  open  meetings. 

"We  are  banking  on  student  support  in 
attending  this  conference,"  continued 
Van  Deusen,  and  he  added  that  subjects 
discussed  will  be  of  "great  benefit"  to  the 
student  who  is  about  to  go  into  the  armed 
services. 


GARFIELD 


(Continued  from  page  1} 
President  Woodrow  Wilson,  who  was  later 
to  call  him  into  the  service  of  the  nation. 

In  1908  he  came  t(j  Williams  as  its 
eighth  president,  immediately  revising  the 
curriculum  to  an  equivalent  of  its  present 
status,  and  instituting  honors  work  for 
advanced  students.  During  his  adminis- 
tration, surpassed  in  length  only  by  that 
of  Mark  Hopkins,  Dr.  Garfield  increased 
the  enrollment  of  the  college  by  almost 
400,  and  more  than  tripled  the  endowment 
fund.  High-water  marks  of  his  leadership 
were  the  launchings  of  the  Williams 
Christian  Association  and  the  system  of 
undergraduate  government.  In  1921  he 
founded  the  Institute  of  Politics,  which 
was  for  eleven  >ears  to  draw  figures  of 
international  importance  to  Williamstown 
regidar  summer  conferences. 

When  war  struck  America  in  1917  he 
was  called  to  Washington  to  fill  the  chair 
of  the  government  price-fixing  adminis- 
tration, later  resigning  from  that  job  to 
take  up  the  larger  position  of  fuel  adminis- 
trator. Although  subject  to  severe  criti- 
cism by  numerous  newspapers  on  the 
grounds  that  he  was  not  "experienced" 
enough  a  man  to  handle  such  a  task,  Dr. 
Garfield  took  up  his  work  with  determina- 
tion, and  as  a  result  the  national  output 
of  bituminous  coal  increased  by  five 
million  tons  and  the  output  of  anthracite 
|}y  twelve  million  during  his  first  year  in 
ofiice. 

Under  him,  "gasless"  and  "heatless" 
days  were  instituted  as  a  conservation 
measure.  His  branch  soon  grew  to  be- 
come one  of  the  main  war  offices,  employ- 
ing 1000  people  in  Washington  and  18,000 
over  the  nation 

In  1921,  as  a  result  of  his  work  during 
the  war,  he  was  presented  the  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Medal  b>  Secretary 
of  War,  Newton  D.  Baker. 

In  October,  1933,  exactly  twenty-five 
years  after  his  induction  as  president  of 
Williams,  he  tendered  his  resignation, 
citing  Mark  Hopkins:  "I  wish  to  resign 
that  it  may  not  be  asked  wh>'  I  do  not 
resign."  At  Commencement,  1934,  he 
relinquished  his  presidency  and  set  out  on 
a  world  tour,  returning  to  Washington 
to  set  up  his  home.  He  was  a  frequent 
visitor  at  Williamstown,  and  maintained 
summer  residences  in  Duxbury  and  in 
New  Hamp.shire. 

Funeral  services  were  held  Sunday 
afternoon  in  Thompson  Chapel,  conducted 
by  the  Rev.  Raymond  B.  Blakeney  of  the 
Williamstown  Congregational  Church,  and 
the  Rev.  Dr.  J.  Franklin  Carter,  rector, 
emeritus,  of  St.  John's  Episcopal  Church. 
The  Board  of  Trustees  acted  as  honorary 
pallbearers,  and  members  of  the  Alpha 
Delta  Phi  fraternity  as  active  bearers. 
Members  of  the  faculty  and  staff  who 
served  under  Dr.  Garfield  were  ushers. 
Burial  was  in  the  college  cemetery. 


Yearling  Debate  Team 
Win*  Fourth  Victory 

The  Freshman  Debate  Council  won  its 
fourth  straight  victory  Tuesday  evening, 
as  Roger  Ernst  and  Theodore  Nierenberg 
defeated  the  Princeton  freshmen  on  the 
world  union  problem.  Holding  two  de- 
cisions over  MIT,  and  another  over  Deer- 
field,  the  1946  debaters  have  also  partici- 
pated in  non-decision  discussions  with 
Middlebury   and   Andover. 


In  view  of  the  shortened  semester  and 
the  uncertainties  of  next  year,  the  Adelphic 
Union  voted  Tuesday  to  curtail  its 
schedule  for  the  immediate  future.  De- 
bates will  be  held  during  January  with 
Rhode  Island  State  Teachers  College  and 
RPl,  but  the  planned  Aniherst-Wesleyan- 
Williams  Little  Three  tourney  has  been 
cancelled  owing  to  inability  to  agree  on  a 
date,  it  was  announced  by  Business 
Manager  M.  Atwood  White  '44.

period  all  the  men  go  through  a  specified 
series  of  tests. 

Opening  e.\crcises  work  from  the 
fundamentals  of  the  breast  stroke  up  to  a 
one-mile  continuous  swim  and  a  half-mile 
backstroke  swim.  The  mile  swim  takes 
about  forty  minutes  and  requires  seventy- 
two  lengths  of  the  pool.  These  two  dist- 
ances are  part  of  the  final  examination 
for  swinuiiers. 

Fiecognizing  the  necessity  of  getting 
underwater  (|uickly  when  being  strafed 
in  the  water  by  machine  gun  fire,  Muir 
teaches  a  method  for  going  two  feet  imder 
water  in  approximately  two  fifths  of  a 
second.  To  stay  away  from  burning  oil 
on  the  surface  each  man  is  also  taught  to 
swim  seventy-five  feet  imder  water. 

Life  saving  involves  learning  to  carry 
an  exhausted  but  conscious  swimmer  for 
500  yards.  Mor  advanced  students  aie 
taught  how  to  save  the  imconscious  by 
keeping  a  man  afloat  at  least  five  minutes. 
Muir  plans  to  add  instructions  on  keeping 
afloat  for  five  minutes  while  fully  dressed. 

Athletic  Office  Clears 
Schedule  Confusion 

Changes  in  the  college  calendar  have 
necessitated  the  cancellation  of  two  basket- 
ball games,  a  swimming  meet,  and  two 
wrestling  matches,  Albert  V.  Osterhoiit, 
graduate  manager  of  athletics,  announced 
yesterday.  The  Fel)ruary  27  basketball 
clash  with  Amherst,  however,  and  the 
March  6  rcLurn  engagement  in  Lasell 
Gymnasium  arc  direct  results  of  the  new 
1943  school  year,  while  a  swimming  meet 
with  the  Jeffs  at  Amherst  March  6  has 
al.so  been  made  possible. 

Only  Bright  Spot 

The  office  of  the  graduate  manager  of 
athletics  is  still  attempting  to  arrange 
additional  contests  in  basketball,  swim- 
ming, wrestling,  squash,  hockey,  and 
fencing.  At  present,  the  January  9  home 
meeting  with  MIT  is  the  only  bright  spot 
on    the   matmen's    hori/on.     Middleburv

at  Mid<llel)ury,  Vt.  January  20  is  the  one 
definite  date  for  the  hockey  players  but

to  materialize  next  week.

GARFIELD  CLUB 

(Continued  from  page  3) 

In  March,  1935,  the  name  "Commons 
Club"  was  abandoned,  and  members 
decided  that,  since  the  organization  "is  a 
definite  product  of  President  Garfield's 
planning  and  interest,"  they  wouUl  change 
its  name  to  "Garfield  Club." 

Next  month  the  Garfield  Club  will 
abandon  Currier  Hall  to  the  Navy,  its 
dining  room  will  become  a  Navy  cafeteria, 
and  its  kitchen  will  be  remodeled,  its 
furniture  stored.

and  a  foul,  while    Tolles  hung  up  thirteen 
for  Williams. 

Up.  until  I  he  last  eight  minutes,  the 
game  was  a  liul  ;ind  cold  affair,  with  both 
teams  getting  streaks  of  bad  passing  and 
shooting.  Al  lliat  point  Tolles  sank  two 
in  a  row,  giving  Williams  a  31-30  advant- 
age, and  the  battle  became  a  real  duel. 
A  Tolles  to  Lindsay  basket  and  Harter's 
foul  matched  two  Vermont  scores,  then 
Killick  and  Hole  traded  follow-ups  and

Streamlined  Plans 
Taking  Shape  For 
Annual  Conference 

Parley,  Set  for  Jan.  16,  17, 
Localized  to  Decrease 
Tran'>portation     Needs 

Streamlined  into  an  entirely  new 
pattern,  the  annual  Williams  Conference 
on  current  affairs  is  taking  shape  for 
January  16  and  17  as  smaller  and  com- 
pletely diflferent  than  past  years'  dis- 
cussions. L.  Marshall  Van  Deusen  '44, 
conference  chairman,  has  localized  the 
program  to  students  and  townspeople 
by  eliminating  outside  publicity. 

In  past  years  Williams  Conferences  have 
attracted  nationwide  attention  and  drawn 
prominent  leaders  in  the  fields  of  govern- 
ment, business,  labor,  and  education  to 
Williamstown.  Because  of  the  need  for 
economy  in  time,  money,  energies,  and 
transportation,  the  gathering  will  this 
year  primarily  emphasize  the  students' 
position  in  war  and  post-war  environ- 
ment. 

Military,  Economic,  Diplomatic 

The  general  topic  is  "War  and  Peace," 
which  includes  as  broader  subtitles,  "The 
Course  of  the  War,"  "Post-War  America," 
and  "The  Post-War  World."  Special 
emphasis  will  be  laid  on  military,  econ- 
omic, and  diplomatic  techniques  for 
winning  the  war,  and  the  relations  of 
these    techniques    to   post-war   problems. 

The  list  of  speakers  who  have  accepted 
includes  outstanding  men  of  the  govern- 
ment and  qualified  political  observers 
and  writers.  Besides  the  list  given  below 
other  speakers  who  may  come  are  William 
Y.  Elliot,  Harvard  professor  with  WPB, 
and  Rupert  Emerson,  expert  on  the  Far 
East,  now  with  OPA. 

From  the  Williams  faculty  Pres.  James 
P.\  Baxter,  3rd,'.  Max  Lerner,  Richard  A. 
Newhall,  and  Alan  Sweezy  will  participate 
in  the  discussions.  Others  as  yet  un- 
announced may  also  be  included.  Former 
Professors  Robert  K.  Lamb  and  J. 
Raymond  Walsh  are  also  on  the  list  of 
speakers. 

The  Conference  will  be  conducted  in 
four  sessions.     Round  Table  discussions 
will  be  held  Saturday  and  Sunday  morn- 
(Sm  conference  Faga  6) 

Anne  Brown,  Soprano, 
Gives  Recital  Tuesday 

On  First  Concert  Tour 
Since  'Porgy  and    Bess' 

Anne  Brown,  celebrated  Negro  soprano 
and  Broadway  star,  will  appear  in  Chapin 
Hall  Tuesd.iy  evening  at  eight-thirty  in 
the  second  concert  of  the  1942-43  Thomp- 
son Series.  This  is  Miss  Brown's  first 
concert  tour  since  her  New  York  success 
in  the  title  role  of  George  Gershwin's 
American  folk  opera,  Porgy  and  Bess. 

Although  she  is  most  widely  known  for 
her  portrayal  of  Bess,  Anne  Brown  has 
to  her  credit  performances  as  soloist  with 
the  NBC  Symphony  Orchestra  under  the 
direction  of  Leopold  Stokowski,  with  the 
New  York]  Philharmonic  Symphony,  and 
in  the  Major  Concert  Series  at  the 
Brooklyn  Academy  of  Music.  Last  sum- 
mer she  turned  down  a  $75,000  two-year 
contract  with  Cheryl  Crawford  and 
associate  producers  of  Porgy  and  Bess  in 
order  to  return  to  her  work  as  concert 
artist. 

Bach  and  Handel 

The  program  for  Tuesday  evening 
includes  several  Bach  and  Handel  arias, 
some  works  of  Brahms  and  Schubert,  and 
as  a  finale,  the  popular  Gershwin  selec- 
tions from  Porgy  and  Bess,  including  Miss 
Brown's  own  favorite,  "Summertime." 

Anne  Brown's  musical  career  started 
at  the  age  of  five  when  she  sang  for  soldiers 
at  Camp  Meade,  Maryland,  during  World 
War  I.  Seventeen  years  later  she  made 
her  second  debut  when  Gershwin  selected 
her  for  the  part  of  Bess  and  rewrote  the 
opera  to  give  her  a  starring  role.  Since 
1934  her  popularity  has  increased  until 
now  one  New  York  critic  claims,  "I  would 
travel  almost  any  number  of  miles  to  hear 
Anne  Brown." 


15   Seniors   Complete 
Courses,  Will  Receive 
Degrees  'In  Absentia' 


Fifteen  members  of  the  senior  class, 
acting  under  the  recently  formulated 
plan  to  aid  students  in  completing  their 
college  courses  when  called  into  military 
service  before  the  end  of  the  present  term, 
have  left  college  after  taking  modified 
comprehensives  and  are  now  candidates 
for  degrees  with  the  February  graduating 
group. 

All  fifteen  have  left  Williams  during  the 
past  three  weeks,  and  several  stayed  over 
during  the  Christmas  recess  in  order  to 
finish  their  work  before  final  induction 
into  service.  Earliest  departures  were 
those  of  Hays  G.  Bowne,  Edward  H. 
Pennell,  and  Henry  B.  Penncll,  HI  who 
were  all  called  in  the  draft  before  Decem- 
ber 20. 

Enters  Dutch  Navy 

William  F.  Courter,  Richard  K.  Means, 
and  B.  Whitman  Dennison  all  completed 
their  courses  on  the  final  day  of  college 
before  Christmas  vacation.  Courier  has 
enlisted  in  the  Army  Signal  Corps,  while 
Means  and  Dennison  are  to  enter  Naval 
Pre-Flight  school  January  15.  Henri 
C  A.  Van  Stolk  has  entered  the  Free

Religious  and  social  trends  and  problems 
will  be  discussed  at  a  Trialogue  at  8:30 
Monday  evening  in  Jesup  Hall  in  the 
main  event  on  the  program  for  the 
Williams  Christian  Association's  annual 
Embassy.  The  Trialogue  speakers  will 
be  Father  Vincent  A.  Brown,  St.  Ignatius 
the  Martyr  Church,  Long  Beach,  N.  Y., 
Dr.  Carl  H.  Kopf,  .Mount  Vernon  Congre- 
gational Church,  Boston,  and  Rabbi

The  program,  planned  by  John  Bridge- 
water,  HI  '44,  chairman  of  the  WCA 
Embassy  Committee,  opens  at  5:30  p.m. 
with  a  tea  at  the  home  of  Pres.  James  P. 
Baxter,  3rd  for  the  fifteen  speakers,  the 
heads  of  houses,  and  certain  faculty  mem- 
bers and  wives.  Dinner  at  the  fraternity 
houses,  followed  by  short  talks  by  visit- 
ing ministers  and  discussions,  will  precede

First  Naval  Contingent  Arrives 
For  Ground  Training;  Faculty 
Clarifies  Liberal  Arts  Program 


Straw  Registration  Ends 
Tomorrow;  AERC  Men 
Expected      to      Register 


Plans  for  tlu:  academic  year  starting 
Feb.  15,  1943  wire  outlined  in  Jesup  Hall, 
Tuesday  evening  when  Richard  A.  New- 
hall,  chairman  of  the  faculty.  Prof.  Donald 
E.  Richmond,  and  Associate  Prof.  Charles 
R.  Keller  opened  the  first,  or  straw  regis- 
tration which  will  end  at  noon  tomorrow 
The  dates  of  the  second  period  will  be 
announced  later  but  are  tentatively  set 
for  late  January, 

The  purpose  of  the  straw  registration, 
professor  Richmond  explained,  is  "to 
determine  the  effective  demand"  for 
courses  of  all  students.  Because  courses 
with  small  registrations  may  be  dropped, 
undergraduates  cannot  expect  to  get  all 
courses  listed.  Already  the  number  of 
courses  has  been  reduced  from  205  as  of 
November,  1941  to  the  present  curriculum 
of  137. 

AERC  to  Register 

Professor  Newhall  advised  members  of 
the  Army  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  to 
register  for  the  coming  semester  as,  al- 
though there  has  been  no  official  denial 
of  the  Corps  being  called  in  February, 
unofficial  sources  have  given  indication 
that  induction  is  to  be  later  than  was 
originally  expected.  Those  in  the  air 
corps  of  the  AERC,  Professor  Newhall 
pointed  out,  will,  from  latest  information, 
be  called  up  separately. 

Professor  Nt-whall  also  explained  Selec- 
tive Service  procedure,  stressing  that  only 
after  the  first  physical  examination  was 
there  any  possibility  of  students  being 
inducted.  Information  as  to  classifica- 
tion follows  the  examination  by  at  least

Larry  Durrell,  '38  Grid  Captain,  Pilots  Crippled 
P-40  to  Safety  After  Bombing  Japanese  Base 

His  P-40  riddled  by  the  lethal  ack-ack  fire  of  the  anti-aircraft  batteries  at 
Lungling,  Nipponese  advance  base  near  the  Burmese  border,  Lieut.  Lawrence  R. 
Durrell  '39  was  returning  from  a  successful  raid,  flying  high  over  enemy-occupied 
territory,  when  his  motor  quit.  Only  expert  navigation,  and  a  long  glide, 
climaxed  by  his  bailing  out  at  500  feet,  saved  the  Army  airman,  according  to 
UP    dispatches    just    received     in    this    country.

Bombing  Tougher  Than  Bucking 

The  one-time  Purple  halfback,  active 
with  the  Army  Air  Corps  in  China  since 
August,  1942,  found  bombing  the  bases  of 
the  Mikado's  minions  a  tougher  assign- 
ment then  bucking  Amherst  lines.  Aim- 
ing his  Curtiss  fighter  at  a  target  of 
Japanese  barracks  and  warehouses,  Durrell 
dove  down  through  a  hail  of  hostile  ack- 
ack  shells,  and  successfully  released  his 
cargo  of  small  demolition  bombs,  As  he 
levelled  off  and  made  for  his  home  air- 
port, the  misfiring  of  his  motor,  disabled 
by  fragments  of  a  Jap  shell,  warned  him 
that  the  complete  collapse  of  the  engine 
was  imminent,  and  he  headed  instead  for 
the  nearest  ground  held  by  the  troops  of 
Chiang  Kai-shek.  UP  cabled  his  own 
report  on  what  ensued. 

"I  was  flying  about  five  miles  west  of 
the  Salween  River  with  the  Japs  below 
me  when  my  motor  went  out,"  Durrell 
said.  I  started  sweating  out  that  five 
miles,  getting  lower  and  lower,  but  finally 
crossed  the  river  in  a  long  glide."  With 
the  river  behind  him,  Durrell  was  still 
uncertain  whether  he  was  over  Chinese 


or  Japanese  territory.  The  east  bank  of 
the  Salween  was  under  Allied  control, 
but  recent  reports  had  had  the  soldiers  of 
the  Rising  Sun  forcing  a  crossing  some- 
where along  the  stream. 

Hit  Mountain  Side 

"I  saw  a  patch  of  ground  where  I 
thought  I  could  make  a  forced  landing," 
he  continued.  "But  at  500  feet,  I  saw  the 
landing  couldn't  be  made,  so  I  pulled  the 
plane  up  almost  into  a  stall,  took  off  my 
headgear,  and  jumped.  I  was  in  the  air 
probably  only  four  seconds  and  hit  the 
side  of  the  mountain.  I  bit  hard,  but  I 
wasn't  hurt." 

Fortunately,  that  section  of  the  Salween 
was  in  Chinese  hands,  and  Durrell  soon 
found  himself  surrounded  by  a  number  of 
curious  soldiers.  He  established  his  ident- 
ity as  an  ally,  by  both  waving  the  Chinese 
identification  flag  he  carried,  and  by 
shouting  the  only  Chinese  words  in  his 
vocabulary,  "Hao,  ting  hao."  Not  that 
the  words  themselves  had  any  connection 
with  his  unexpected  descent  upon  the 
soldiers,  for,  when  translated  into  Eng-

Gargoyle  Selection 
Set  for  Thursday 

Simplifiedi  Ceremony 
Breaks  Old  Traditions; 
Staged  in   Chapin   Hall 

Gargoyle  will  tap  its  forty-ninth  delega- 
tion next  Thursday,  January  14  at  4:30 
p.m.  in  Chapin  Hall.  In  what  may  prove 
the  last  such  ceremony  for  the  duration, 
the  1943  members  of  the  senior  honorary 
society  will  elect  their  successors  from  the 
Class  of  1944. 

For  the  second  straight  year,  precedents 
will  be  broken  as  the  accelerated  program 
necessitates  the  advancement  of  the 
exercises  from  the  customary  Memorial 
Day  dale.  Because  of  the  limited  facilities 
of  Chapin  Hall,  the  ceremony  itself  will 
be  simplified  and  the  annual  cla.ss  sing 
will  be  abandoned. 

'Best  Exemplifies  Traditions' 

Gargoyle  has  extended  its  invitation 
to  the  entire  student  body  to  attend  the 
exercise  which  will  include  the  annual 
awarding  of  the  Grosvenor  Cup  to  that 
member  of  the  junior  class  who  "best 
exemplifies   the    traditions  of    Williams." 

In  announcing  plans  for  the  indoor 
ceremony,  Gargoyle  President  C.  Gorham 
Phillip.s  '43  said,  "This  midwinter  cere- 
mony will  not  attempt  to  imitate  Gar- 
goyle's Memorial  Day  tapping  but  will 
be  a  new,  simple  ceremony  whose  primary 
purpose  is  to  continue  the  Society's 
tradition  of  iiublic  selection  of  new  delega- 
tions. Gargoyle  sincerely  hopes  the  Class 
of  1944  will  turn  out  in  full  to  witness  what 
may  be  the  last  Gargoyle  tapping  for  the 
duration." 

Stand  in  Semi-Circle 

The  exercises  will  begin  with  the  sing- 
ing of  the  "Star  Spangled  Banner" 
followed  by  athletic  awards  and  the 
presentation  of  the  Grosvenor  Cup.  The 
1943  Gargoyles  will  then  enter  from  the 
rear  of  Chapin,  march  to  the  front  of  the 
hall  and  stand  in  a  semi-circle  before  the 
stage. 

Members  of  the  Class  of  1944  are  asked 
to  take  seats  in  the  first  fifteen  rows. 
Each  robed  Gargoyle  in  turn  leaves  the 
semi-circle  and  walks  to  the  head  of  the 
center  aisle  where  he  calls  the  name  of  his 
successor.  The  junior  named  rises  and

Seniora  Asked  to  Pay 

Due»  for  Class  Fund 

Alan  G.  James  '43,  secretary  of  the 
Class  of  1943,  urgently  requests  that 
all  seniors  make  their  contributions 
of  $7.50  to  the  class  fund  before 
January  15.  The  senior  donation 
will  be  an  endowment  insurance  policy 
to  be  paid  to  the  college  on  reaching

200  New  England  Cadets 
Report  for  Intensified 
3  -  Month       Instruction 

iyJOHN  H.  WiNANT  '45 

Two  hundred  Naval  Aviation  cadets,  the 
first  contingent  to  enter  the  Navy  Flight 
Preparatory  School  (NKFS)  at  Williams, 
arrived  here  Wednesday  and  Thursday  to 
embark  on  a  twelve-week  ground  training 
course  in  preparation  for  later  flight  in- 
struction. They  are  to  be  joined  at 
monthly  intervals  by  additional  groups  of 
200  until  a  maximum  number  of  600 
cadets  is  maintained  at  the  school. 
Kerhrisleii  WillianiH  Hull 

Allhnunh  actual  classroom  instruction 
will  not  ctjnunence  until  .Monday  morning 
at  7:30  o'clock,  the  cadets  are  being  put 
through  preparatory  training  in  drill 
tactics  and  are  being  given  introductory 
tests  this  week.  The  eight  platoons 
cuniprising  the  group  of  200  are  being 
housed  in  Williams  Hall,  soon  to  be  re- 
christened  for  tile  duration  with  an  appro- 
priate naval  cognomen. 

A  hundred  and  fifty  of  the  cadets  arrived 
here  Wednesday  afternoon  from  Boston 
under  the  supervision  of  Lieut.  Robert 
Fuller  of  the  Naval  Aviation  Cadet 
Selection  Hoard  in  that  cit>-.  The  re- 
mainder, able  to  reach  Williamstown  more 
easily  from  their  own  homes  than  via 
Boston,  reported  yesterday  morning. 
Approximately  151  are  from  Mas- 
sachusetts, while  \'ermcint,  New  Hamp- 
shire, and  Maine  supply  the  rest.  Other 
cadets  from  the  First  Naval  District 
(New  England)  reported  to  Wcsleyan 
Wednesday,  where  a  school  similar  to 
that  at  Williams  has  been  established.

Fraternity  Plans  Hinge 
On  Status  of  A.E.R.C. 

IFC  Approves  Extension 
of    Authority    for    CBM 

Uncertainty  as  to  the  status  of  men  in 
the  Army  ICnIisted  Reserve  Corps  has 
hampered  the  development  of  any  definite 
plans  for  the  combination  of  fraternities 
next  semester.  Primary  steps  were  taken 
Wednesday  night  when  the  Interfraternity 
Council  approved  extension  of  Campus 
Business  Management  to  handle  the 
merging  of  social  groups. 

Earlier  understanding  that  the  AERC 
men  would  be  given  orders  during  January 
was  blasted  this  week  when  Army  sources 
at  the  First  Division  headquarters  in 
Boston  declared,  "Unofficially  we  advise 
students  sworn  into  the  AERC  to  register 
for  the  next  semester."  This  changes 
completely  all  the  definite  figures  compiled 
about  students  returning  in  February. 
Sleep  Full  Capacity 

Should  these  men  be  able  to  complete 
another  semester,  the  college  enrollment 
would  jump  from  the  expected  300  to 
approximately  500.  This  number  of 
men  would  necessitate  keeping  nine,  or 
possibly  ten  houses  open  for  eating 
facilities  alone.  Each  house  woidd  prob- 
ably sleep  its  full  capacity.  Combina- 
tion will  probably  be  necessary  even  with 
the  less  drastic  drop  in  enrollment  because 
some  houses  will  inevitably  be  harder  hit 
than  others. 

Frank  R.  Thonis,  Jr.,  campus  business 
manager,  has  begun  some  preliminary 
work  but  declared  yesterday,  "We  have 
no  definite  plan  and  will  not  be  able  to 
formulate  any  until  we  know  how  many 
students  will  return  in  February."  By 
compiling  lists  of  the  reserve  students  in 
each  house  his  office  has,  however,  laid 
some  of  the  necessary  groundwork.

The  House  That  War  Built 

The  first  200  Naval  Aviation  cadets  arrived  at  the  Williams  Navy 
Flight  Preparatory  School  (NFPS)  for  a  twelve-week  training  course 
We<hie.sday  and  Thursday.  It  was  obvious  that  the  time-honored 
liberal  arts  institution  of  the  Berkshires  would  have  its  face  lifted. 

Looked  upon  by  many  educators  and  by  the  public  alike  as  "a  way 
out,"  America's  institutions  of  higher  learning  had  long  been  courting 
these  and  similar  training  programs.  But  Williams  has  not  entered  this 
program  as  a  means  of  preservation:  Williams  has  leased  many  of  its 
facilities  to  the  Navy  in  an  honest  effort  to  contribute  more  actively  to 
the  war  effort.  We  believe  we  have  facilities  which  can  effectively  train 
future  Naval  officers. 

The  Williams  faculty  has  worked  long  and  well;  the  Committee  on 
Conversion  has  established  a  program  that  will  provide  equally  for  the 
maintenance  of  the  Navy  school  and  of  a  liberal  arts  institution.  Every 
point  of  that  program,  as  released  at  the  college  meetings  of  December  12 
and  January  5,  was  essential  to  the  success  of  college  policy.  Each  step 
was  taken  because  it  had  to  be  taken.  And,  during  the  next  two  weeks, 
the  problems  of  conversion  will  be  even  heavier.  Arrangement  of  a  new 
liberal  arts  curriculum  will  not  be  easy;  .some  undergraduates  will  be 
prohibited  from  taking  courses  on  which  they  had  otherwise  planned. 

Academic  duties,  moreover,  will  be  increased  all  along  the  line; 
many  members  of  the  faculty  will  be  teaching  courses  in  which  they  are 
relatively  inexperienced.  But  the  efforts  of  the  faculty  have  resulted  in 
no  haphazard  schedule;  they  have  placetl  the  college  far  ahead  of  many 
institutions  conducting  similar  training  schools.  Most  important, 
Williams  will  enter  this  phase  of  its  history  determined  to  hold  up  both 
ends  of  its  dual  wartime  role. 


Letter  to  the  Editor 


To  the  Editor  of  The  Record: 

Your  editorial  In  the  hist  i.ssue  of  THE 
Record  surprised  me  greatly.  The  larger 
part  of  the  Garfield  Club  membership 
was  deeply  shocked  by  your  remarks, 
made  at  a  time  when  the  Club  as  a  unit, 
was  making  the  greatest  possible  sacrifice 
to  the  war  effort. 

Yet,  let  that  stand,  for  we  care  less 
about  our  role  as  martyr  than  as  crusader. 

The  untimeliness  of  your  remarks  is 
significant  —  yet  our  objections  go  to  the 
essence  of  your  attack. 

You  found  our  system  objectionable  on 
many  grounds.  You  scored  our  lack  of 
"esprit  de  corps,"  our  factions,  our  fail- 
ure to  assume  leadership.  You  point  to  a 
day  when  the  Club  may  rise  again  to  a 
more  complete  function  on  this  campus. 
Yet,  you  say  we  have  never  assumed  the 
place  which  was  rightfully  ours. 

Answers  Challenge 

The  destructiveness  of  your  tirade  is 
only  a  fraction  of  your  error.  May  I 
answer  your  challenge  by  saying  that  the 
Garfield  Club  has  a  membership  of 
approximately  two  hundred  fellows.  We 
number  one  quarter  of  tho  college,  and 
unfortunately  we  have  been  allotted  but 
one  sixteenth  of  the  inter-fraternity 
representation.  When,  in  class  elections 
we  support  a  single  Club  man  for  office, 
we  are  attacked  on  the  grounds  that  we 
"gang  up,"  We  split  into  groups,  or 
factions  if  you  wish  to  call  it  such,  because 
two  hundred  men  cannot  all  go  to  the 
basketball  games,  chapel  services,  and 
movies  together.  Our  members  are  at- 
tacked as  "spooks"  yfet  the  houses  im- 
mediately try  to  pledge  any  prominent 
member  of  our  group  who  might  be  a 
worthy  asset  to  their  house. 

We  have  not  failed  in  our  efforts.  If 
we  have  not  shown  the  leadership  you 
would  like  to  see,  I  ask  you  what  other 
body  has  produced  the  leaders  we,  as  a 
campus,  so  urgently  need?  Haven't  we 
as  a  social  unit  produced  an  intellectual 
stimulus,  which  compares  favorably  with 
any  group  at  Williams? 

Our  organization  furnishes  its  facilities 
to  every  member  of  our  college  com- 
munity. Its  only  eligibility  test  is  ad- 
mission to  Williams  College.    That  makes 


for  a  democratic  unit,  which  must  neces- 
sarily build  up  the  integrity  and  self- 
respect  of  the  individual.  What  other 
one  factor  in  college  does  more  for  the 
individual  student?  We  as  a  unit  do  not 
aspire  to  build  up  a  social  unit  by  selective 
process.  We  do  furnish  fellowship  and 
good  will  to  the  men  whom  the  fraternities 
have  not  seen  fit  to  honor  to  admission 
in  an  exclusive  social  unit. 

Fulfilled  Function 

Wc  have  fulfilled  the  function  of  taking 
care  of  the  non-fraternity  group  in  our 
college  whose  social  activities  before  our 
advent  were  in  a  vacuum.  This  is  not 
a  ciuestion  of  houses  vs.  the  Garfield 
Club  —  it  is  a  question  of  the  welfare  of 
the  non-fraternity  students  at  Williams, 
We  have  made  living  at  Williams  de- 
sirable for  those  who  for  one  reason  or 
other,  either  of  their  own  making  or  not, 
have  not  been  able  or  desirous  of  entering 
a  fraternity. 

We  both  know  that  only  time  will 
answer  these  questions.  Some  day  the 
campus  will  make  the  crucial  decision  as 
to  the  role  of  fraternities  and  secret 
organizations  at  Williams.  It  is  our  guess 
that  the  democratic  bodies  will  survive. 
Eventually  the  Campus  will  be  a  group  of 
clubs  in  which  selected  fraternities  will 
not  exist.  Make  no  mistake  about  it, 
I  realize  the  great  service  the  houses  are 
doing  for  Williams, 

I  admire  you  for  your  frankness.  How- 
ever, I  cannot  see  that  the  failures  you 
have  shown  are  indicative  of  the  Garfield 
Club, 

(signed) 
Paul  L.  Kohnstamm 
President  of  the  Garfield  Club 

(Editor's  Note:  The  editorial  in  gueslion, 
printed  in  the  December  18  issue  of  this 
newspaper,  was  an  honest  attempt  to 
evaluate,  not  to  attack,  the  Garfield  Club  as  a 
social  unit.  President  Kohnstamm  was 
shocked  to  read  our  remarks,  "made  at  a 
time  when  the  Club  as  a  unit  was  making 
the  greatest  possible  sacrifice  to  the  war 
effort."  He  accuses  us  of  untimeliness. 
We  cannot  consider  our  remarks  untimely, 
for  they  represent  something  we  believe 
ought  to  be  said.  We  pulled  no  punches 
saying  it. 

President  Kohnstamm  points  out  that 
despite  a  membership  of  one  quarter  of  the 
college,  interfraternity  representation  of  the 
Club  is  but  one  sixtunth.    Three  additional 


In  Utceniber  Williams  entered  its 
second  )('iir  of  wartime  existence.  Since 
Pearl  Harbor  undergraduates  have  been 
leaving  college  in  steadily  increasing  num- 
bers. Since  Pearl  Harbor  those  who  have 
remained  behind  have  flocked  to  the 
sciences,  to  mathematics.  The  liberal 
arts  curriculum  next  semester  will  neces- 
sarily be  curtailed.  Do  these  trends 
presage  a  permanent  shift  from  the  liberal 
arts  education  to  specialization  in  narrow 
technical  fields?  Do  they  mean  the  end 
of  the  liberal  arts  education  as  we  knew  it 
before  the  war? 

Printed  below  from  Fortune  magazine 
are  the  opinions  of  prominent  educators 
throughout  the  country: 

Ernest  II.  Wilkins,  Oberlin — "Liberal 
education  has  arisen  to  satisfy  the  fund- 
amental needs  of  civilized  man.  It  will  be 
needed  as  long  as  human  civilization  lasts." 

Henry  M.  H'riston,  Brown — "/  think 
that  the  war  may  welt  provide  a  real  re- 
surgence of  interest  in  the  liberal  ideal — 
not  otherwise  can  freeiom  be  understood, 
much  less  preserved." 

Harold  W.  Dodds,  Princeton — "The 
failures  of  this  generation  have  been  in  the 
area  of  the  will,  not  of  technology. ' ' 

Tlie  Rev.  IIughO'Donnell,  Notre  Dame— 
"Science  and  engineering  are  important  in 
war,  but  unless  these  studies  are  implement- 
ed with  religion,  philosophy,  and  languages, 
we  develop  mechanics,  not  leaders — auto- 
matons, not  men." 

Katharine  E.  McBride,  Bryn  Mawr — 
"  No  country  could  keep  millions  of  people 
trained  to  meet  the  specific  demands  of 
global  war;  they  are  too  extensive.  It  must 
count  on  people  who  can  rise  to  emergencies." 

Franklyn  B.  Snyder,  Northwestern — 
"To  say  that  the  war  will  end  liberal  educa- 
tion is  equivalent  to  saying  that  it  will  end 
sunshine  or  falling  in  love.  In  the  history 
of  universities,  as  in  the  history  of  tlie  human 
race,  wars  are  merely  episodes.  Humane 
culture  has  survived  many  wars  in  the  past 
and  will  survive  the  present.  The  scholars 
of  the  universities  of  Louvain  and  Paris 
kntnv  this  to  be  true;  their  institutions  will 
survive  to  write  the  chronicle  of  the  defeat 
of  the  A.vis." 

Williams  is  now  all-out  to  help  win  the 
war.  But  in  winning  the  war  we  must  be 
careful  not  to  lose  sight  of  the  values  that 
are  a  key  to  lasting  peace.  Liberal  arts 
education  can  provide  the  basis  for  the 
democratic  way  of  life  in  peacetime 
through  a  deeper  understanding  of  our 
cultural  traditions. 

Failure  of  the  War  Department  to  take 
some  definite  stand  on  the  status  of  the 
Army  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  has  thrown 
academic  and  administrative  programs  of 
colleges  throughout  the  nation  into  com- 
plete confusion.  Conflicting  reports, 
official  and  unofficial,  last  September's 
announcement  that  AERC  men  would  be 
called  at  the  end  of  the  current  seinester 
and  this  January's  unofficial  statement 
that  members  of  that  reserve  should  reg- 
ister for  the  coming  academic  year,  have 
balked  ctTorts  of  the  Dean's  Office,  the 
Faculty,  and  Campus  Business  Manage- 
ment to  make  definite  plans  for  the  next 
semester. 

Arrangements  for  fraternity  consolida- 
tion were  advanced  this  week  when  the 
Interfraternity  Council  approved  ex- 
tension of  CBM  to  handle  necessary 
mergers,  but  further  steps  have  been  block- 
ed by  recent  AERC  announcements. 
Should  the  AERC  return  next  semester, 
CBM's  problem  would  be  considerably 
lighter. 

Last  November  The  Record  called 
for  "a  clear  statement  telling  where  the 
War  Department  stands"  with  respect  to 
the  colleges  and  universities  of  the  country. 
We  reiterate  that  plea. 


representatives,  or  even  ten,  however,  would 
have  no  more  than  a  symbolic  significance. 

The  Garfield  Club  has,  as  President 
Kohnstamm  points  out,  "fulfilled  the 
function  of  taking  care  of  the  non-fraternity 
group  in  our  college."  {If,  however,  this 
alone  is  the  function  of  the  Garfield  Club, 
its  membership  must  admit  to  the  truth  of 
our  statement  that  "In  everything  but  the 
actual  sense  of  the  word  the  Club  was  not  a 
club."  We  had  hoped  President  Kohn- 
stamm would  give  us  concrete  instances  of 
the  force  which  should  have  been  exerted 
on  campus  by  an  organization  of  nearly 
two  hundred  members.    He  gave  none. 

We  agree  with  him  that  democratic 
bodies  will  eventually  supplant  secret 
societies  on  the  Williams  campus;  those

The  Cleveland  Citizens  League  lost  its

death  of  Dr.  Harry  A.  Garfield,  presi- 
dent emeritus  of  Williams.  Said  Greater 
Cleveland,  the  bulletin  of  the  Citizens 
League:  "For  more  than  fifty  years,  in 
the  midst  of  a  busy  professional  life,  he 
taught  and  practiced  citizenship  ideals 
which  left  their  impress  on  everj'  com- 
munity in  which  he  lived  and  worked.  His 
was  not  the  citizenship  merely  of  the  class- 
room, but  it  was  till"  practical  citizenship 
which  sought  constantly  by  actual  par- 
ticipation in  public  affairs  to  improve  the 
democracy  under  wiiich  we  live."

lish,  they  merely  mean,  "Excellent,  ex- 
cellent." 

Taken  by  the  Chinese  to  an  English- 
speaking  colonel,  Durrell  was  informed 
that  he  had  landed  only  three  miles  from 
the  Japanese  lines.  According  to  the 
United  Press  dispatch,  however,  the  res- 
cued pilot  felt  that  his  narrow  escape  from 
Japanese  hands  was  nothing  compared 
to  the  trip  through  the  mountains  of 
China  back  to  the  Allied  air  base  of 
Paoshan.  Durrell  referred  to  his  three- 
day  horseback  ride  to  Paoshan  as  the 
"toughest  part  of  the  entire  experience." 

Durrell,  whose  home  is  in  Scarborough- 
on-Hudson,  N.  Y.  enlisted  in  the  air  force 


two  years  ago,  and  received  his  commission 
at  Maxwell  Field.  He  was  sent  to  China 
last  August.  At  Williams,  he  captained 
both  the  freshman  and  varsity  football 
teams.  Elected  to  Gargoyle,  he  was  also 
a  member  of  Chi  Psi. 

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

(Continued  from  page  2} 
democratic  bodies,  however,  will  have  lo 
have  more  for  their  basis  than  did  the 
Garfield  Club.  The  fact  thai,  with  one  or 
two  exceptions,  business  of  Club  meetings 
could  be  suspended  by  a  call  for  a  {generally 
lacking)  quorum  is  in  a  sense  indicative. 
The  fact  that  many  members  of  the  Club 
made  a  practice  of  eating  on  Spring  Street 
from  time  to  time  is  likewise  significant.)

Start  Tomorrow 

Squad  Tops  St.  Michael's, 
35-28,  in  Slow  Game; 
Harter's    Points    Decide 

Going  after  their  fourth  win  in  five  starts, 
Williams'  varsitj'  cagers  talce  the  Lasell 
floor  against  Springfield  College  at  8:30 
tomorrow  night  in  their  first  post-vaca- 
tion tilt.  Wednesday  the  five  returns 
to  the  usual  two  games  a  week  when  it 
plays  host  to  Mass.  State. 

Expected  to  be  in  top  form  for  the  first 
time  since  early  injuries  benched  Bob 
Thompson  and  Harold  Sutcliff,  the  visit- 
ing Springfield  squad  will  be  out  to  atone 
for  a  quartet  of  December  losses.  Only 
one  win  was  sandwiched  in  among  the 
defeats  and  the  squad  gave  its  best  show- 
ing to  date  in  losing  to  Long  Island 
University's  veterans  after  a  good  battle. 
V'ern  Cox  has  been  the  Maroon  pace- 
setter. 

Start  Same  Combination 

For  Williams,  Dale  Burnett  will  prob- 
ably start  the  same  combination  he  has 
floored  in  the  five  previous  games  — 
Captain  Jack  Harter  and  Don  Lindsay 
as  forwards,  Roy  Tolles  at  center,  and 
Bob  Wallace  and  Sophomore  Dick  Hole 
in  the  defensive  spots. 

In  the   final   tilt  before  Christmas  the 

Eph  quintet  caught  on  after  thirty  minutes 

of  slow  ball  to  bury  St.  Michael's  under  a

Although  the  showing  of  the  Williams 
hockey  team  at  the  annual  college  tourn- 
ament at  Lake  Placid  over  the  holidays 
could  hardly  be  called  spectacular,  it  was 
nonetheless  successful.  Winning  the  con- 
solation division  of  a  tournament  with 
only  six  teams  competing  is  not  much  of  a 
feat,  but  the  two  teams  which  beat 
Williams  were  the  event- 
Colgate  Far  ual  finalists,  and  one  of 
Superior  them,  Colgate,  was  so  far 

superior  to  the  other  col- 
leges entered  that  there  could  be  no  doubt 
of  the  final  outcome. 

The  first  game  was  against  Hamilton 
on  the  night  of  Saturday,  December  26. 
Most  of  the  Williams  team  had  arrived 
that  morning  after  no  sleep  on  the  train, 
and  as  a  result  practice  in  the  afternoon 
was  extremely  ragged.  The  team  looked 
little  better  that  night  against  Hamilton. 
Passing  was  sloppy,  and  the  offense  lacked 
spirit  and  drive.  Hamilton  plays  a  slam- 
bang  type  of  shinny,  with  a  lot  of  individ- 
ualism and  little  teamwork,  and  they 
quickly  had  the  Williams  team  so  dis- 
organized that  they  never  really  got  under 
way. 

Williams    was    a    pretty   badly    beaten 
team.     Bob    Kittredge's    brilliant    stick- 
handling    and     hat     trick 
Kittredge's       provided   the  only  bright 
Great  Play       spot  in  a  very  dismal  even-

Swimmers  Clash 
With  Strong  MSC 

Williams  Out  to  Avenge 
Last  Season's  Defeat 
After     Vacation     Layoff 

Seeking  revenge  for  the  heartbreaking 
38-37  defeat  handed  them  last  year,  the 
Williams  varsity  swimming  team  meets 
Mass.  State  at  Amherst  tomorrow  at 
2:00  p.m.  Both  squads  snowed  their 
opponents  under  with  a  flurry  of  firsts  in 
their  opening  meets  but  will  be  handi- 
cappped  by  the  two- week  break  in  practice 
due  to  Christmas  vacation. 

The  Mass.  State  squad  boasts  two  top- 
notch  swimmers  but  was  not  outstanding 
in  reserve  power  when  it  crushed  weak 
Worcester  Tech.,  57-18,  in  their  opener. 
Biggest  loss  to  the  State  team  was  last 
year's  Captain  Joe  Jodka,  who  held  the 
New  England  breaststroke  championship 
and  was  also  a  stellar  freestyle  performer. 
Strong  in  Freestyle 

Coach  Bob  Muir  hopes  to  meet  the 
threat  of  his  opponents'  strong  freestyle 
and  backstroke  men  by  taking  second  and 
third  in  those  events.  Comparative  times 
give  the  Purple  a  good  chance  to  min- 
imize the  individual  performances  of  Mass. 
State  stars. 

Williams'  scoring  ability  has  been  hurt 
by  the  loss  of  first-string  diver  Dick 
Lambert  and  the  probable  absence  of 
backstroker  Ross  Macdonald.  Otherwise 
the  team  is  at  full  strength  for  the  meet. 
Practices  this  week  have  emphasized 
conditioning   after   the  two-week  lay-off. 

Captain  Donn  Early  will  be  in  action 
for  the  first  time  this  .season  in  the  fifty- 
yard  event.  Early  captured  the  lOO-yard 
race  against  RPl  and  was  a  member  of  the 
winning  400-yard  relay  team  in  the  same 
meet,  but  did  not  swim  his  fifty-yard 
specialty.  His  relay  team  is  counted  on 
to  repeat  its  3.47.7  minute  winning  time 
made  against  RPl  with  Dan  and  Bill  Case, 
(See  SWIMMERS  page  6) 

Brown  Leads  Ski  Team 
To  3rd  Place  at  Placid 

Individual  Scoring  Also 
Places      Captain     Third 

Paced  by  the  stellar  performance  of 
Captain  Dave  Brown,  the  Williams  ski 
team  placed  third  at  the  twenty-second 
annual  intercollegiate  ski  meet  sponsored 
by  the  Lake  Placid  Club  January  I  and  2. 
New  Hampshire  annexed  the  title  on  the 
most  consistent  performance  of  the  group 
with  Norwich 
second. 

A  dark  horse 
entrant  in  the 
ski  classic,  the 
Eph  delegation 
distinguished  it- 
self by  taking 
two  first  places 
in  the  five-event 
competition.  Wil- 
Captaln  Brown  liams  led  the  field 

after  the  first  day 
but  later  results  handed  the  decision  to 
New  Hampshire  with  468.09  points. 
Norwich  amassed  462.64  points  for  second 
standing  while  Williams  trailed  slightly 
to  gain  third  place. 

Captain  Brown  was  awarded  third  place 
in  individual  rating,  scoring  446  points  to 
rank  behind  Robert  Sheehan  of  Middle- 
bury  with  469.7  and  Merrill  Barber  of 
Norwich  with  449.4.  Erik  Brown  and 
Otto  Brewer  also  contributed  to  the  sur- 
prising showing  of  the  Ephmen. 

The  cross  country  event,  which  opened 
the  Lake  Placid  meet,  found  Brown  wing- 
ing off  to  a  fast  start  by  taking  first  place 
in  54:35,  a  good  time  on  the  gruelling 
seven-mile  course.  Later  in  the  day 
Brown  placed  fifth  in  the  jumping  com- 
petition, Arthur  Devlin  of  Syracuse

Colgate  Pucksters 
Triumph  at  Placid 

Ephmen  Drop  to  Third, 
Winning  One  of  Three; 
Kittredge,    Boykin    Star 

For  the  third  consecutive  year  the  Red 
Raiders  from  Colgate  made  a  one-team 
show  of  the  Lake  Placid  Club  College 
Hockey  Invitation  Tourney  and  walked 
off  with  the  Samuel  H.  Packer  Trophy 
during  the  Christmas  vacation.  Williams 
slipped  from  its  customary  position  as 
runner-up  and  finished  third  in  a  field  of 
six. 

Virtually  eliminated  from  champion- 
ship competition  by  a  6-3  licking  at  the 
hands  of  Hamilton,  the  Ephmen  were 
blasted  out  of  the  running  when  the  three- 
time  winners  administered  a  conclusive, 
13-4  drubbing  and  went  on  to  whip  an 
All  Star  aggregation  to  cinch  their  superi- 
ority.

explanation  for  the  loss  lay  in  the  failure 
of  the  winjjs  on  all  three  lines  to  face- 
guard  successfully  and  tie  up  their  oppos- 
ing wings.  They  did  not  back-check 
quickly  enough,  and  as  a  result  there  was 
often  a  Hamilton  forward  standing  un- 
covered in  front  of  the  Williams  net. 

With  three  strenuous  practice  sessions 
on  Sunday,  the  squad  began  to  look  more 
like  a  hockey  team,  and  there  were  some 
sentimentalists  who  really  thought  Wil- 
liams would  give  Colgate  a  run  for  its 
money.  Spirit  and  aggressiveness  were 
not  lacking  on  Mon- 
Speed,  Ability  day  night,  but  un- 
Pay  Off  fortunately  there  is  no 

substitute  for  speed 
and  ability  in  the  game  of  hockey.  There 
was  no  one  on  the  Williams  team  who  could 
skate  hard,  fast  and  skillfully  for  any 
length  of  time,  and  the  Ephmen  were  no 
match  for  the  blinding  speed,  finesse,  and 
passing  of  Greg  Batt  and  his  two  wings, 
Wells  and  Oswald.

BASKETBALL 

(Continued  from  page  4) 
Harter   took   top   honors   for  the   second 
straight  game,  running  up  eleven  points, 
five  of  them  in  the  last  four  minutes  to 
put  the  game  on  ice. 

Sloppy  and  slowed  to  a  walk  by  num- 
erous fouls,  the  game  was  characterize<l 
by  spiritless  play  and  little  offense  on  both 
sides.  Williams  had  eighteen  foul  chances 
and  earned  eleven  of  its  total  in  this 
column,  while  the  losers  took  seven,  mak- 
ing only  two. 

Harter  Spreads  Gap 

After  a  clo.se  first  half  which  found  the 
Ephs  in  front,  13-12,  the  fives  continued 
to  trade  shot  for  shot  until  Harter  spread 
the  gap  to  24-20  when  he  was  fouled  as 
he  scored  on  a  layup.  Here,  with  eight 
minutes  remaining,  Williams'  scoring  plays 
began  to  take  their  toll,  both  in  actual 
baskets  and  in  drawing  foul  tosses.  Hole 
got  two  from  the  fifteen-foot  line  and 
Harter  fed  Tolles  to  make  it  28-24,  match- 
ing the  visitors'  two  long  ones. 

With  four  minutes  left  Hole  set  Harter 
up  in  the  corner.  The  Purple  leader 
dropped  that  one,  converted  one  of  a  pair 
of  fouls,  and  wound  up  the  game  with  a 
long  shot  from  the  center.  Lindsay 
scored  during  this  spurt  on  another 
Burnett-drilled  play. 

Second  Team  in  Action 

Only  one  player  got  more  than  a  single 
field  goal  during  the  first  half.  Wallace 
cashed  the  Ephs'  first  three  two-pointers 
before  Tolles  and  Harter  scored  in  the 
last  five  minutes  of  the  period  to  provide 
the  half-time  margin.  The  Williams 
second  five  saw  its  first  real  action  of  the 
year  as  it  worked  four  minutes  in  the 
middle  of  the  half.  A  foul  by  Sophomore 
Andy  Knox  was  the  only  sub  score. 

Six  different  men  hit  the  cords  once 
each  for  the  Saints  during  the  first  twenty 
minutes,  two  of  these  buckets  coming 
when  stray  Will^ims  passes  set  up  ball 
steals.  Joe  Brennan,  visiting  forward, 
followed  Harter  in  the  scoring  with  ten 
points.  He  dropped  three  long  trys  in  the 
second  half  and  got  the  only  two  Saint 
foul  conversions.

HOCKEY 


(Continued  from  page  4) 
saved  his  sextet  from  utter  rout  in  the 
Hamilton  Game  by  scoring  all  three  of 
his  team's  tallies,  the  last  on  a  lightning 
feint  behind  the  opposing  goal  with  but 
one  second  remaining.  Throughout  the 
contest  Coach  Whoops  Sniveley's  men 
were  out-gamed  by  their  scrappier,  more 
aggressive  rivals. 

The  Colgate  match  was  never  in  doubt 
after  an  opening  barrage  which  netted  the 
New  Yorkers  four  goals  in  the  incredibly 
brief  span  of  five  minutes.  Bernie 
Boykin  turned  in  a  stellar  performance  in 
a  shellacking  which  was  otherwise  high- 
lighted for  Williams  only  by  scoring  thrusts 
off  the  sticks  of  Al  Bedford,  Sparky 
Clarkson,  Jack  Talbot,  and  Stu  Wilson. 
Purple  Tops  MIT 

The  Ephmen  hit  a  wiiming  stride  for  the 
first  time  this  year  by  outclassing  MIT, 


4-1,  in  their  concluding  appearance  at  the 
1942-43  Lake  Placid  Winter  Carnival. 
Captain  Kittredge  again  sparked  the 
offense,  scoring  the  two  goals  which  would 
have  been  sufficient  to  whip  the  Engineers 
without  the  tallies  registered  by  Jack 
Talbot  and  Stu  Wilson.  Bernie  Boykin 
chimed  in  with  a  pair  of  assists  vital  to  a 
win  which  placed  the  Purple  above 
Cornell,  MIT,  and  Middlebury  in  the 
final  standings.

Williams'    chances    are    based    solely    on

of  a  point  decision  over  Jack  Winant  in 
the  playoff  finals.  Klopinan  is  staging 
his  first  Williams  mat  appearance  in  two 
seasons,  iiaving  been  out  of  action  last 
winter  with  a  shoulder  injury. 

Veteran  Bill  Imbrie  will  again  fill  the 
121-p()ui)d  bracket,  and  Freeman  BoNiiton, 
wrestlint;  for  the  first  time,  will  take  on 
the  128|)i)und  division.  Although  lack- 
ing in  e>;|)erience,  Boynton  has  turn('<l  in 
cretlit.'ihli-  performances  in  trial  matches, 
and  came  through  to  a  first  team  berth 
by  virtue  of  a  fall  over  Ed  Murpliy. 


Pete  McNerney,  up  from  la.st  winter's 
freshman  combine,  takes  the  136-pound 
berth,  by  virtue  decision  over  Johnny 
Green  in  the  playoffs,  and  Bob  McKee, 
experienced  grappler  who  has  seen  service 
with  both  freshman  and  varsity  teams, 
will  fill  the  145-poun(l  berth.  McKee  and 
I  lowie  Redf ield  provided  one  of  the  most 
clo-sely-contested  playoffs  of  the  week, 
going  into  two  extra  matches  before  a 
decision  could  be   obtained 

Quantrcll  Only   Yearling 

Hank  Strong,  appearing  for  the  Eph- 
men for  the  first  time,  will  appear  al 
165  pounds,  and  Mort  (Jtiantrell,  only 
freshman  member  of  the  team,  will  carry 
the  unlimited  division.  In  a  close  playoff 
match,  Quantrell  gained  a  point  de- 
cision over  Art  N'orys,  last  season's  fresh- 
man heavyweight  performiT. 

Although  the  match  with  .Springfield, 
scheduled  for  January  30,  has  had  to  be 
cancelled,  announcement  was  made  tliis 
week  that  the  team  will  tra\'el  to  Wesleyan 
next  Saturday  to  engage  the  Cardinals  in 
a  Little  Three  contest.

with  a  prodigious  leap  of  forty-one  and  a 
half  meters.     Brown  captured  his  second 
first  place  in  the  combined  crosscountry  i 


and  jumping. 

The  downhill  event  was  also  annexed 
by  Devlin  in  the  very  fast  time  of  1:36.3 
but  Captain  Brown  held  on  to  his  hiijli 
rating  by  finishing  third,  less  than  one 
second  behind  the  winning  time.  Eiiij 
Brown  and  Fielding  Brown  placed' fifd, 
and  twelfth,  respectively. 

Jock  Wilkins  of  St.  Lawrence  and  John 
Gale  of  Middlebury  tied  for  individual 
honors  in  the  slalom,  each  being  clocked 
at  32.3  minutes.

Swimming  star  in  freestyle  races  for 
Mass.  State  is  Bud  Hall,  who  holds  llie 
National  Intercollegiate  100-yard  free- 
style record  at  Sl.l  seconds.  This  is  only 
three  inches  short  of  Johnny  Weismulhi's 
world  record  for  the  same  event.  Swim- 
ming at  Worcester,  Hall  broke  two  New 
England  records  for  short  pool  distances. 
He  swam  sixty  yards  in  29.2  and  100  yards 
in  52.2  seconds. 

Captain  George  Tilley  of  Mass.  .Stale 
is  the  other  high  scorer  for  the  ICph 
opponents.  He  has  consistently  tak™ 
first  place  in  the  backstroke  during  two 
years  of  college  competition.  Anderson 
of  Mass.  State  has  enough  speed  in  the 
freestyle  to  back  up  Hail's  threat  to  the 
Purple.

Roper,  Werner,  Others 
View  'War  and  Peace' 
for    a     Local     Audience 

by  Peter  D.  Silverstone  '45 

Authorities  in  the  fields  of  economics, 
government,  letters,  and  military  affairs 
will  mince  no  words  when  they  meet  at 
3:00  p.m.  Saturday  in  Jesup  Hall  to  re- 
view "The  Course  of  the  War"  in  the 
opening  round  table  session  of  the  curtailed 
fifth  Annual  Williams  College  Conference 
on  current  affairs,  dealing  this  year  with 
the  problems  of  "War  and  Peace." 
Announcement  Wednesday  by  L.  Marshall 
Van  Deusen  '44,  Conference  chairman, 
that  Mayor  Wilson  Wyatt,  progressive 
civil  and  social  reformer  of  Louisville,  Ky., 
would  be  present,  came  soon  after  it  was 
learned  that  Robert  Sherwood,  playwright 
and  OWI  official,  could  not  attend. 

Bowed   to    Restrictions 

Seven  guest  speakers  and  three  prom- 
inent faculty  members  will  participate  in 
the  two-day  event.  Heralded  in  other 
years  by  an  influx  of  visitors  from  all  over 
the  East,  1943's  parley  has  bowed  to 
wartime  transportation  restrictions  by 
curtailing  its  national  publicity  and  is 
directed  primarily  toward  the  student 
body  which  is  readying  itself  for  active 
participation  in  the  war  and  the  peace  to 
follow. 

Participants  will  include  government 
officials  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  Williams' 
chief  executive  and  deputy  administrator 
of  the  Office  of  Strategic  Services,  and 
Elmo  Roper,  public  opinion  authority 
and  director  of  the  Fortune  Survey  of 
Public  Opinion,  also  of  the  OSS.  Econ- 
omists Herbert  Feis  of  the  State  Depart- 
ment; Robert  K.  Lamb,  former  Williams 
faculty  member,  now  staflf  director  of  the 
Tolan  (House)  Committee  investigating 
defense  migration  and  author  of  construc- 
tive criticisms  of  the  war  effort;  and 
Associate  Professor  Alan  Sweezy  of  the 
Williams  economics  department  will  offer 
opinions  with  the  others  at  round  tables 
Saturday  and  Sunday  on  "The  Course  of 
the  War,"  "Post- War  America,"  and  "The 
Post-War  World." 

Active  Social  Reformer 

Max  Werner,  authority  on  Russian 
military  might,  returning  for  the  second 
time  within  a  year  to  Williamstown,  will 
present  a  military  analysis.  Louis  Dolivet, 
editor  of  liberal  magazine  Free  World; 
Frederick  Oechsner,  foreign  correspondent 
and  author  of  This  Is  The  Enemy,  who 
escaped  last  year  from  a  Nazi  concentra- 
tion camp,  and  Prof.  Max  Lerner  of  the 
Williams  faculty  will  represent  the  fields 
of  political  science  and  letters,  while 
Mayor  Wyatt  views  the  subject  in  terms 
of  an  active  social  reformer  who  has 
directed  his  efforts  toward  aiding  the 
Negro. 

Van  Deusen  announced  that  each  round 

table  this  year  will  include  all  the  speakers, 

an  innovation  since  last  year's  round  tables 

were  split  commissions.     He  further  urged

War  Stamp  Campaign 
Nets  $1,000  in  6  Weeks 

A  six  weeks'  campaign  by  the  Williams 
Victory  Committee  for  the  sale  of  war 
bonds  and  stamps  has  already  netted 
more  than  $1000,  it  was  announced  this 
week  by  James  H.  Pritchard  '44,  Com- 
mittee treasurer.  Psi  Upsilon  has  sur- 
passed all  other  campus  social  units  by 
buying  $35  worth  of  stamps  per  week, 
an  average  of  one  dollar  per  week  from 
each  member. 

In  making  his  optimistic  report,  Prit- 
chard declared  that  the  few  houses  which 
had  failed  to  turn  in  pledge  money  were 
no  more  than  a  dollar  or  so  behind,  and 
that  the  campaign  has  been  "highly 
luccessful."

Epht   Snap   State 
Win  Streak,  43-41 

Tolles  Paces  Comeback 
from  Springfield  Loss ; 
Five  at  Army  Saturday 

Roy  Tolles'  brilliant  all-around  play 
in  the  second  half  took  top  honors  yester- 
day afternoon  as  Coach  Dale  Burnett's 
passers  hit  their  hottest  pace  of  the  current 
campaign  to  snap  Mass.  State's  three 
game  winning  streak  by  a  43-41  count  on 
the  home  floor.  After  running  up  a  record 
of  four  wins  in  six  straight  home  games, 
the  team  will  see  its  first  action  away  this 
Saturday  night  when  it  faces  a  rugged 
Army  five  at  West  Point. 

Give  and  Take  Stretch 

It  was  Bob  Wallace  who  finally  pulled 
the  trick  against  the  Staters,  returning  to 
the  game  with  only  1 :51  left  and  dropping 
his  only  second  half  try,  a  set  shot  from 
far  out  on  the  right  side  at  the  forty-second 
mark.  This  bucket  climaxed  a  hectic 
half  that  saw  the  Purple  quintet  rally 
from  a  20-19  intermission  deficit  to  tie  or 
go  one  point  ahead  seven  times  before  it 
took  the  final  winning  margin.  Tolles, 
high  scorer  for  the  Ephmen,  picked  up  all 
of  his  thirteen  points  in  this  give  and  take 
stretch  and  added  some  sterling  defensive 
work  to  his  day's  achievements. 

Offensively  the  game  had  plenty  of 
punch  as  both  teams  exhibited  scoring 
strength  and  Tad  Bokina,  lanky  six-foot- 
seven  State  center,  set  the  season's  high 
for  the  Lasell  court  with  twenty-three 
points.  In  spite  of  Carl  Gruber's  persistent 
efforts  to  keep  this  giant  under  control, 
he  played  the  key  role  for  the  visitors  and

Intramural  Skiing 
Set  for  Carnival 

Curtailed  Transportation 
Necessitates  Changes; 
Slalom,   Jump    Planned 

A  severely  modified  version  of  the  tra- 
ditional Williams  Winter  Carnival,  de- 
nuded of  its  campus-wide  social  activities, 
will  get  under  way  with  an  influx  of  girls 
tomorrow  and  Saturday.  Due  to  drastic 
curtailments  on  travel  and  other  wartime 
difficulties,  the  skiing  part  of  the  program 
will  be  confined  to  intramural  competition. 
Hop  Slalom  and  Jump 

With  normal  carnival  festivities  com- 
pletely impossible,  the  Outing  Club,  in 
conjunction  with  the  varsity  ski  team,  will 
sponsor  a  hop  slalom  and  a  jumping 
exhibition  at  1:30  Saturday  afternoon 
which  will  serve  as  the  last  leg  of  the 
Palmedo  Trophy  competition.  Under- 
graduates who  are  not  on  the  varsity 
skiing  squad  and  visiting  ski  enthusiasts 
will  be  eligible  for  the  slalom  event  on 
Sheep  Hill.  In  accordance  with  the  hop 
slalom  custom,  a  keg  of  beer  will  be  pro- 
vided for  contestants. 

The  annual  intercollegiate  ski  meet 
usually  held  at  the  Carnival  with  six  or 
seven  colleges  attending  has  been  replaced 
by  the  jumping  contest,  the  winner  to  be 
decided  by  a  professional  judge.  Since 
three  of  the  four  events  that  constitute 
the  Palmedo  competition  have  already 
been  run  off,  the  winner  of  the  trophy  will 
be  determined  at  the  exhibition. 

Thus  far  in  the  Palmedo  competition, 
results  are  indecisive.  In  the  slalom  event.

Chapin  Hall  Used 
As  Site  To  Select 
New '44  Delegation 

Annual  Tap  Date  Changed 
Second  Time  in  2  Years; 
Bridgewater    Gets     Cup  . 

The  Record  wishes  to  thank  Gargoyle 
for  delegating  one  of  its  members  to  write 
the  following  story  and  to  supervise  com- 
pletely the  sections  of  the  paper  referring  to 
the  Gargoyle  elections.  Without  Gargoyle's 
cooperation  this  particular  news  would 
have  been  impossible  to  obtain  inasmuch 
as  this  issue  of  The  Record  went  to  press 
this  morning.     The   Editors. 

Departing  from  all  precedent  in  its 
history,  Gargoyle,  the  senior  honorary 
society,  tapped  its  forty-ninth  delegation 
this  afternoon  at  4:30  in  Chapin  Hall. 
Forced  to  modify  its  traditional  cere- 
monies because  of  the  war-accelerated 
program.  Gargoyle  selected  for  the  fourth 
year  in  a  row  its  full  complement  of  twenty 
men. 

In  ordinary  years,  the  ceremony  would 
have  been  held  on  Memorial  day  with  a 
complete  program  of  inter-class  singing 
contests,  but  today  Gargoyle  altered  its 
tradition  by  moving  indoors  for  the  first 
time.  The  1942  Gargoyle  delegation 
broke  with  the  traditional  May  30th  date 
a  year  ago  when  the  speed-up  curriculum 
forced  the  society  to  select  its  1943  delega- 
tion. May  2. 

Stanley  In  Absentia 
The  ceremonies  this  afternoon  opened 
with  the  singing  of  The  Star  Spangled 
Banner  following  which  John  Bridge- 
water  '44  received  the  Grosvenor  Cup, 
awarded  annually  by  the  Undergraduate 
Council  to  that  member  of  the  junior  class 
who  "best  exemplifies  the  traditions  of 
Williams." 

George  E.  Stanley  was  tapped  in 
absentia  because  he  left  college  to  enter  the 
United  States  Army  shortly  after  the  start 
of  the  second  semester. 

Following  is  a  list  of  the  men  who  were 
tapped  and  the  names  of  the  1943  Gar- 
goyles who  tapped  them.

*A  Time  For  Greatness' 

/(  TIME  FOR  GREATNESS  by  Herbert  Agar.  .  ..The  book  whose 
title  has  become  ajighting  slogan.  "It  has  explained  to  my  satis/action  what 
this  icar  Ls  about.  This  will  really  be  a  great  victory  if  the  folks  back  home 
read  .1  TIME  FOR  GREA  TNESS  and  take  it  to  heart."— Sgt.C.F.  Rudolph, 
Jr.,  Camp  Blanding,  Florida." — Advt.  in  the  New  York  Times,  Tuesday, 
January   12. 

Tiiis  is,  indeed,  the  time  for  the  United  Nations  to  be  great.  This 
is,  indeed,  the  time  for  the  United  Nations  to  reaffirm  the  principles  and 
goals  of  World  War  II  that  this  struggle  may  be  more  than  a  mere  repeti- 
tion of  1914-18,  that  the  dormant  forces  of  the  America  First  movement, 
wrong,  but  in  their  own  minds  never  proved  so,  will  not  figure  in  post-war 
considerations. 

Scrambled  i)eace  aims  as  yet  mean  little  to  the  "folks  back  home" 
to  whom  this  former  editor  of  The  Record  refers  in  his  recommendation 
of  Herbert  Agar's  latest  work.  Events  in  India,  the  Senate  handling 
of  the  |)oll  tax  question,  the  affirmation  at  Monday  night's  Embassy 
Trialogue  that  the  end  of  anti-.seniitic  feeling  in  the  United  States  is  not 
in  sight,  have  all  but  negated  the  well-turned  words  of  the  four  freedoms. 
Freedom  can  mean  nothing  to  an  enslaved  world  when  free  nations  in 
part  or  in  whole  reject  the  principles  which  they  represent. 

Greatness  must  come  now.  A  ])ost-war  realization  of  the  aims  we 
envision  must  be  prefaced  by  a  declaration  of  principles,  by  action  based 
on  those  principles  now. 


ON  WILLIAMS 
IN  WARTIME 


=  BY  THE  EDITORS^ 


Some  290  inidergraduate  members  of 
thi;  Army's  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  were 
still  on  pins  and  needles  this  week  as  they 
W'jre  asked  to  register  for  another  semester 
with  no  ofificial  notice  as  to  when  they 
would  be  called  into  active  service. 
Particularly  disturbed  by  reports  that 
other  colleges  had  sent  "definite"  clarifica- 
tion notices  to  their  students,  the  Williams  j 
Reservists  were  anxious  to  learn  whether  | 
they  would  be  granted  another  full 
semester  of  'study  and  be  called  in  May. 

Dr.  Samuel  A.  Matthews,  ERC  repre- 
sentative for  Williams,  asserts  that  the 
last  ofificial  word  he  received  from  Army 
Headquarters,  dated  December  24  states 
merely  that  Williams'  reservists  will  be 
allowed  to  finish  the  semester  ending  two  | 
weeks  hence: 

"By  January  1,  1943,  the  War  Depart- 1 
ment  will  have  completed  its  preparations 
to  call  to  active  duty  enlisted  reserve 
corps  students  covered  by  Section  g(7)  of 
the  Army  Plan.  These  students  will 
thereafter  begin  to  receive  orders  to  re- 
port for  active  duty  at  designated  times 
and  places.  No  order  will  be  given  lo 
report  on  a  date  prior  to  two  weeks  after 
the  completion  of  the  student' s  first  academic 
quarter,  term,  or  semester,  terminating  after 
December  M,  1942." 

Professor  Matthews  observed  that  most 
of  the  confusion  resulted  from  the  fact 
that  some  colleges  began  new  semesters  | 
either  right  before  the  Christmas  vaca- 
tion, so  that  they  are  justified  in  guarantee-  j 
ing  their  men  will  not  be  called  before  late 
April  or  May  —  "the  end  of  the  first

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  THURSDAY,  JANUARY  14,  1943 


On  Williams  In  Wartime 


(Continued  from  page  2) 

semester  ending  alter  December  31,  1942." 
Williams'  semester  ends  early  in  1943, 
however,  thus  making  Williams  reservists 
eligible  for  call  earlier  —  after  February  2 
—  than  many  other  colleges. 

In  an  attempt  to  get  further  specific  in- 
formation on  Williams'  position.  Dr. 
Matthews  spoke  with  Lieut.  Col.  Ed- 
munds of  Boston  on  January  S.  "His 
only  statement,"  continued  Dr.  Matthews, 
"was  an  exhortation  that  Williams  ERC 
men  should  register  for  another  semester." 
Whether  this  meant  that  they  would  be 
allowed  to  stay  a  complete  semester,  or 
that  they  would  be  called  at  any  time 
after  February,  remained  a  mystery.  Dr. 
Matthews  did  say  that  the  Army  is  in- 
sistent that  Reservists  stay  in  College 
until  called,  and  that  those  who  resign 
college  will  be  called  up  within  two  weeks, 
losing  their  early  chance  for  officer  training. 

College  newspapers  throughout  the 
'  East  offered  clarifications  to  their  readers. 
The  Massachusetts  State  Collegian,  auth- 
orized by  the  commandant  of  their  RO  TC 
unit,  announced  with  regard  to  the  ERC, 
that  "it  is  improbable  that  the  majority 
of  men  will  be  called  before  May."  It 
must  be  emphasized  that  this  refers  only 
to  Mass.  State  Reservists.  The  Yale 
Daily  News  announces  a  meeting  this 
week  at  which  their  Bureau  of  Military 
Information  will  clarify  the  Reservist.s 
position,  and  compulsory  attendance  for 
ERC  members  is  required. 

"I  have  published  all  the  official  news 
I  have  on  the  ERC,"  Professor  Matthews 
stated.  "There  has  been  much  specula- 
tion on  the  subject  of  when  men  will  be 
called  from  Williams,  but  I  hesitate  to 
make  unofficial  guesses.  As  soon  as 
further  information  is  received,  it  will  In- 
released  immediately."

Capture  Five  of  Eight 
Bouts;  Slated  to  Meet 
Wesleyan    on    Saturday 

A  relatively  inexperienced  Purple  wrestl- 
ing s(|uad  rose  to  the  occasion  last  Satur- 
day afternoon  in  Lasell  Gym  when  it 
captured  five  of  eight  matches  to  set  back 
a  dogged  MIT  combine,  23-13.  Co- 
Captains  Rob  Jones  and  liill  Klopnian, 
handling  the  175-  and  155-pound  divisions, 
led  the  team  to  its  initial  victory  by 
garnering  eight  Eph  points  between  them. 
Thirty  Pounds  Lighter 

Freshman  ace  Mort  (Juantrell  provided 
the  afternoim's  biggest  thrill  when  he 
overcame  a  thirty-pound  weight  handicap 
in  the  person  of  Walke  to  gain  a  fall  in 
fifty-seven  seconds  of  the  second  period. 
Going  out  of  his  weight  class  for  the  meet, 
(Juantrell  succeeded  in  turning  over  his 
heavy  opponent  with  a  half-nelson  and 
crotch  hold.  Jones  supplied  the  most 
spectacular  bout  of  the  afternoon,  gaining 
a  fall  in  the  third  period  after  a  see-saw 
battle  with  Masnik. 

One  of  Closest  Matches 

MIT's  two  other  wins  came  in  the  145- 
and  165-pound  classes,  when  Hob  McKee 
lost  on  a  [joint  decision  to  Gaillanl  and 
Hank  Strong  was  pinned  by  Ackernian  in 
2:19  of  the  second  period.  Klopnian,  in 
one  of  the  meet's  closest  matches,  out- 
pointed Danisgaard  to  take  the  155-pound 
class. 

A  slightly  altered  Eph  outfit  will 
journey  to  Middletown  this  Saturday  to 
engage  the  Weslcyan  mat  s(|uad  in  the 
schedule's  second  and  final  meet.  .Shifts

NOTICE 


Wesleyan  Cancels 
Swimming  Meet 

Eph  Squad  Downs  MSC 
Netting  43-32  Score 
with    Strong    Reserves 

Sickness  and  lack  of  practice  have 
forced  the  Wesleyan  swimmers  to  cancel 
their  match  this  Saturday  with  the  Eph 
squad  that  last  week  handily  beat  IVIass. 
State,  43-32.  Coach  Bob  Muir  has 
arranged  a  Purple  and  Grjld  meet  to  be 
held  2:30  p.m.  .Saturday  between  the 
members  of  the  Williams  team. 

Cancellation  of  the  Cardinal  meet  is 
only  temporary  and  is  caused  by  the  Naval 
Flight  Preparatory  School  taking  up 
Wesleyan's  swimming  facilities.  Besides 
planning  definitely  on  the  Purple  and  Gold 
meet  Coach  Muir  is  also  exploring  the 
possibilities  of  meets  with  either  the 
Greenwood  Memorial  swimmers  of  Gard- 
ner or  the  OlneyviUe  Boys  Club  of  Prov- 
idence, R.  1. 

Case   Sets   Frosh   Mark 

Against  IVIass.  State  the  Ephmen 
annexed  only  four  firsts  to  their  opponents' 
five  but  had  enough  seconds  and  thirds 
to  take  the  meet  comfortably,  running  up 
a  43-32  score.  Dan  Case,  swimming  the 
first  lap  of  the  freestyle  relay,  lowered  the 
freshman  100-yard  mark  set  by  Jim  La- 
Ment  in  1939  from  55.5  seconds  to  54.6, 
while  the  Maroon  relay  quartet  established 
a  new  Mass.  State  record  in  this  event. 

First  and  second  places  in  the  breast 
stroke  and  440-yard  freestyle  netted 
Williams  sixteen  points  to  clinch  the  meet. 
The  Maroon's  national  intercollegiate 
record  holder,  Bud  Hall,  took  firsts  in 
both  the  fifty  and  100-yard  races,  but 
that  point  advantage  was  minimized  as 
Bill  Case  and  Captain  Donn  Early  took 
second  and  third  in  both  races. 

Hank  Hewittson  and  Frank  Davies 
battled  it  out  in  the  closest  race  of  the 
meet  for  first  place  in  the  200-yard  breast 
stroke.  Hewittson  finally  won  out  to 
chalk  up  2:42.8  for  a  winning  time.  Three 
laps  of  the  freestyle  relay  promised  a  tie 
race,  but  Statenian  Bud  Hall  swam  a 
52.3  second  final  lap  to  give  his  .s(|uad  a 
win  and  break  their  college  record.

Hockey  Team  Plays  MIT 
In  Boston  Arena  Friday 

The  Purple  hockey  team  will  attempt 
a  comeback  from  the  unimpressive  record 
it  posted  in  the  recent  Lake  Placid  tourney 
this  weekend  when  it  travels  to  Bo.ston 
on  the  sole  scheduled  trip  of  the  current 
ice  season  to  engage  MIT  in  the  Boston 
Arena  Friday  night,  and  Harvard  in  the 
Boston  Skating  Club  .Saturday.

however,  pressed  Bokina  for  the  most 
impressive  afternoon's  work,  running  up 
the  remarkable  last  half  record  of  six 
baskets  in  seven  tries. 

Both  teams  found  their  scoring  eyes  in

Williams  getting  seven  out  of  ten  tries

The  spurt  finally  died  and  ten  straight

WCATrialogue  Attacks 
Growing  Anti-Semitism 

The  importance  of  an  interdependence 
of  purpose,  goal,  and  faith  was  the  keynote 
of  a  religious  trialogue  featuring  Father 
Vincent  A.  Brown,  the  Rev.  Carl  H.  Kopf, 
and  Rabbi  Joshua  L.  Liebman  in  the 
Jesup  Auditorium  Tuesday  evening. 

The  speakers  emphasized  two  main 
points  in  the  discussion  which  climaxed 
Tuesday  evening's  WCA  Embassy,  the 
question  of  Jewish  oppression  both  in  this 
country  and  abroad  and  the  extent  to 
which  the  Church  should  actively  par- 
ticipate in  the  solution  of  social,  economic, 
and  political   problems. 

Anti-Semitism  Increasing 

"Anti-semitism  is,  I  am  sorry  to  say, 
on  the  increase  in  this  country  today," 
said  Rabbi  Liebman,  "but  the  real  dif- 
ficulty will  come  after  the  war.  Hitler 
has  at  least  succeeded  in  one  thing  — 
succeeded  in  making  the  Jew  an  object  of 
discussion,  suspicion,  attack.  He  has  won 
his  war  gainst  the  Jew. 

"There  is  less  anti-semitism  in  any 
country  of  Europe  today  than  ever  be- 
fore," said  Rabbi  Liebman,  citing  in- 
stances of  Christian  aid  to  oppressed 
European    Jews. 

Asked  to  clarify  the  Catholic  stand  on 
the  question  of  social,  economic,  and 
political  policy.  Father  Brown  replied, 
"Catholics  are  impatient  that  the  Pope 
has  not  come  out  with  a  clear  declaration 
of  ideas.  The  Pope's  attention,"  he 
asserted,  "is  focused  principally  on  Italy 
which,  contrary  to  general  opinion,  is 
Catholic  individually  but  not  nationally 
or  politically.  Father  Brown  declared 
that  "the  Pope  is  a  prisoner,"  prevented  by 
circumstances  from  making  a  more 
vehement  denunciation  of  totalitarianism.

BASKETBALL 

(Continued  from  page  3J 

Prompted  by  vivid  memories  of  two 
previous  defeats  at  the  hands  of  Bokina 
and  his  Mass.  State  outfit,  Coach  Burnett 
started  Gruber  at  center  in  a  defensive 
move.  Although  he  has  three  inches  on 
regular  Don  Lindsay,  Gruber,  at  six-foot- 
three,  was  no  match  for  Bokina  in  the 
height  column.  He  did  a  good  job  in  face 
of  this  handicap,  slowly  gaining  the  edge 
in  a  hot  individual  duel. 

Late  Eph  Spurt 

A  Springfield  College  squad  that  used 
the  fast  break  and  fore-court  guarding  to 
good  advantage  handed  the  Ephs  their 
second  set-back  last  Saturday  in  a  game 
marred  by  roughness  and  continual  foul- 
ings.  George  Havel,  Maroon  forward,  was 
high  man  with  ten  points  as  the  visitors 
staved  off  a  late  Williams  spurt  to  win 
out,  37-34,  before  a  near  capacity  crowd 
that  was  made  up  largely  of  Naval  cadets. 

Springfield  went  in  front  after  five 
minutes  and  was  never  headed.  After 
a  half-time  count  of  19-14,  Bridgewater 
and  Lindsay  clicked  to  pull  the  Purple  up 
to  21-20,  but  that  was  the  closest  they 
came.  With  less  than  two  minutes  to  go, 
Johnny  Bridgewater  hit  with  a  pivot  to 
make  it  35-34,  but  Havel  followed  quickly 
with  the  clincher.  Dick  Hole  was  out- 
standing for  Williams,  his  defensive  work 
and  ball  handling  doing  much  to  slow 
down  the  aggressive  Springfield  club.

mainder    of    the    tapping    followed    this 
procedure. 

In  compliance  with  a  1932  Gargoyle 
ruling  the  order  of  tapping  was  determined 
by  lot.  Reduced  to  sixteen  by  the  with- 
drawal from  college  of  four  members 
each  of  the  four  officers  tapped  two  men 
this  afternoon.  Tapped  last  year  but 
no  longer  in  college  are  Edward  C.  Brown 
Jr.,  Naval  Air  Corps,  Malcolm  D.  Chirk, 
William  F.  Courter  and  William  C. 
Schrani,  all  United  States  Army. 

In  announcing  the  start  of  Gargoyle 
in  1895,  its  undergraduate  founders  stated 
in  their  announcement  in  the  Williams 
Weekly:  "the  object  of  this  organization 
shall  be  to  discuss  college  matters,  and 
take  active  steps  for  the  advancement  of 
Williams  in  every  branch  of  college  life 
and  work,  and  to  e.xert  itself  against  any- 
thing which  it  considers  detrimental  to 
such  advancement." 

The  announcement  continued,  "Gar- 
goyle shall  consist  of  not  more  than  20 
members  chosen  from  each  Junior  Class 
at  a  public  election  by  the  active  Senior 
members  on  the  30th  of  May.  Those 
men  shall  be  chosen  each  year  who  are 
considered  to  have  the  welfare  and  reputa- 
tion of  the  college  at  heart;  and  who  have 
shown  in  every  way  by  their  college  life 
a  desire  and  ability  to  promote  the  best 
interests  of  Williams."

Vanguard  of  Class  of  '47 
Entering  in  February 
Numbers    Twenty  -  Five 

Compilation  of  registration  figures  this 
week  disclosed  that  528  members  of  the 
undergraduate  body,  including  those  in 
the  ERC,  expect  to  return  to  college  for 
the  beginning  of  the  new  year  February  IS. 
In  addition,  approximately  twenty-five 
incoming  freshmen,  first  contingent  of  the 
class  of  1947,  will  enter  next  month. 

Heaviest  enrollment  was  in  Division  III 
courses  —  astranoniy,  biology,  chemistry, 
geology,  mathematics,  and  physics  — 
accounting  for  forty-six  percent  of  all 
registrations.  The  trend  toward  the 
sciences,  reaching  a  previou  all-time  high 
last  year,  was  even  more  marked  in  this 
year's  enrollment.  Largest  drop  was  in 
Division  I,  where  two  proposed  courses 
were  cancelled  because  of  insufficient  en- 
rollment. English,  however,  underwent 
an  expansion,  with  heaviest  enrollments  in 
the  American  and  modern  British  courses. 
American  History  Expands 

Division  II  courses  —  tocial  sciences 
and  history  —  remained  at  about  the  same 
figures  as  last  year.  American  history, 
reflecting  current  trends,  was  expanded 
considerably.  Of  the  tentative  courses 
announced  two  weeks  ago,  only  three  were 
dropped,  the  two  in  Division  I,  and  the 
newly-formed  Physics  5b.  Numerous  stu- 
dents took  advantage  of  the  19a-20a 
courses  as  electivcs  outside  their  majors. 

Because  of  faculty  teaching  conflicts 
with  the  Navy  school,  a  new  class  period 
extending  from  11:30  until  12:20  in  the 
morning,  will  be  started  next  semester. 
One  course  will  be  held  at  5:00  p.m.,  while 
courses  which  have  regularly  held  after- 
noon hours  in  the  past  will  continue. 
Few  Conflicting  Schedules 

A  faculty  committee  composed  of 
Alton  H.  Gustafson,  Charles  R.  Keller, 
and  Thomas  J.  Wood  worked  out  the 
plans  for  the  new  class  schedules  before 
the  straw  registration  held  two  weeks  ago. 
After  student  returns  had  been  filed,  the

Rushing  Class  of  1947 

February  Group  of  25 
Sent  to  Houses  by  Lot 

Traditional  rushing  formulas  will  be 
discarded  for  the  twenty-five  members 
of  the  class  of  1947  entering  Williams 
this  February.  Rushing  Chairman  C. 
Hugh  Martin,  Jr.,  '44  brought  the 
problem  of  pledging  new  freshmen  under 
discussion  at  the  Interfraternity  Council 
meeting  Monday  evening,  and  it  was 
decided  that  there  would  be  no  formal 
program  of  dates. 

Factors  entering  into  the  decision  were 
the  small  size  of  the  entering  class  and  the 
inconvenience  that  would  be  caused  for 
members  of  the  Garfield  Club  now  eating 
at  fraternities.  Martin  also  brought  out 
that  the  loss  of  time  would  be  out  of  all 
proportion  to  the  number  of  men  pledged. 
Arbitrary  Assignments 

The  problem  of  where  the  new  fresh- 
men should  eat  will  be  met  by  arbitrary 
assignments  to  the  various  social  groups. 
Legacies  will  be  given  preference  and  sent 
to  the  house  with  which  they  have  ties. 
Cases  of  indirect  legacies  will  be  decided 
as  they  arise. 

According  to  present  plans  the  February 
group  will  not  be  oh  silence,  but  will  have 
the  status  of  boarding  members  of  the 
houses  to  which  they  are  assigned. 
Providing  that  a  large  class  is  taken  in 
June,  this  first  group  of  yearlings  will  be 
rushed  then  and  regular  rushing  rules  will 
apply. 

If  the  plan  is  carried  out,  post-season 
rushing  rules  will  not  be  applied  to  any 
of  the  members  of  1947  during  their  first 
semester  in  college.  To  handle  the  prob- 
lem of  adjusting  legacies  and  assignments 
to  houses  Campus  Business  Manager 
Frank  R.  Thorns  will  remain  unofficial 
arbiter.

Potent  Army  Five 
Tops  Purple,  37-25 

3  Seniors  End  Williams 
Court  Careers  Against 
Middlebury    Next   Week 

Diminutive  George  Rebh,  Arni>-  bas- 
ketball captain,  bowed  out  of  West  Point 
athletics  in  great  style  last  Saturday  as  he 
rang  up  thirteen  points  to  lead  his  team 
to  an  easy  37-25  win  over  Williams  in  a 
slow,  low-scoring  game.  Flaying  in  the 
Cadet  field  house  before  a  large  pre-grad- 
uation  crowd.  Army  got  the  jump  on  the 
Ephmen  and  Dale  Burnett's  squad  nivcr 
seriously  threatened. 

Limited  to  38  Tries 

Playing  in  a  ho.stile  gym  for  the  first 
time  this  season,  the  Williams  squad  was 
without  the  services  of  set  shot  artists 
Roy  ToUes,  injured  in  the  Mass.  Stale 
game,  and  Bob  Wallace,  who  is  on  no- 
cuts.  The  Purple  five,  forced  to  bid  for 
baskets  from  short  range,  was  held  in 
check  by  a  tight  man-for-man  defense 
and  an  overwhelming  control  of  the  back- 
boards by  three  towering  Cadet  starters. 
Captain-elect  Janimie  Philpott,  Eber 
Simpson,  and  Geltz.  This  trio  held  the 
Eph  offense  down  to  a  total  of  only  thirty- 
eight  shots,  whil'j  the  victors  mareuvered 
for  fifty-seven  attempts  working  from  a 
deliberate,  methodical  style  of  play. 

Rebh,  a  defensive  stalwart  for  three 
years,  broke  loose  with  eleven  points  in 
the  first  half,  converting  nearly  every 
chance  he  had  with  phenomenal  accuracy. 
Dick  Hole  had  the  task  of  keeping  up  with 
this  fast  red  head  and,  in  spite  of  the 
score-book  totals,  did  a  good  job.  In  the 
second  half  the  Army  leader  was  held  to 
a  lone  field  goal,  but  gave  an  excellent 
defensive  performance  until  taken  out 
with  a  minute  to  go. 

Behind  Rebh  in  the  scoring  came  Phil- 
pott, top  man  for  the  Cadets  last  season 
with  over  200  points,  and  Williams'  John 
Bridgewater,  both  with  eight  counters. 
Jack  Harter,  Eph  captain,  hung  up  seven 
points  in  the  first  twenty  minutes,  but 
was  kept  out  of  the  scoring  column 
thereafter.

Werner  Envisions  Great  Future  for  China, 
Predicts  Nazi  Collapse,  Russo-Jap  Conflict 


by  Peter  D.  Silverstone  '45 
"China  will  become  one  of  a  trio  of 
great  post-war  nations,"  predicted  mil- 
itary analyst  Max  Werner  in  a  mid- 
conference  interview  Saturday  evening. 
He  pointed  to  China's  tremendous  poten- 
tial power,  and  its  growing  organization 
as  evidence  that  it  will  one  day  take  its 
place  beside  the  United  States  and  Russia 
as  homeland  of  one  of  the  world's  greatest 
peoples. 

Don  and  Dnieper 
With  respect  to  the  European  war 
theatre,  Mr.  Werner,  author  of  The  Great 
Offensive  and  prophet  of  Russian  military 
success,  observed  that  "The  German 
military  might  will  be  broken  between 
the  Don  and  the  Dnieper  Rivers."  He 
further  noted  that  it  will  probably  not 
even  be  necessary  for  the  Russians  to 
retake  Kiev  before  they  have  annihilated 
the  wehrmacht.  He  expressed  surprise  at 
the  poor  strategy  of  the  German  military 
leaders,  condemning  them  for  the  set- 
backs. "The  offensive  psychology  did 
not  provide  for  strong  tactical  defense," 
said  Werner.  The  result  was  one  of  the 
greatest  encirclement  actions  in  military 
history. 

"Hitler's  September  speech  announcing 
that  the  object  of  attack  would  be  Stal- 
ingrad was  a  godsend,"  the  noted  military 
authority  said.  He  went  on  to  show  that 
the  Russians  took  Hitler  at  his  word  when 
he  boasted  he  would  concentrate  his 
attacks  in  the  South,  and  that  the  Russians 
were  thus  prepared  to  defend  Stalingrad 
and  to  ready  offensives  in  the  North.

Club  Drafts  Plans 
For  New  Quarters 

Members  Seek  Reunion 
As  Social  Unit ;  Consider 
Forg^et  -  Me  -  Not       Inn 

On  the  heels  of  a  resolution  passed  by 
the  Garfield  Club  membership  on  Dec. 
21,  1942  petitioning  the  college  adminis- 
tration for  "new  quarters  in  which  the 
Garfield  Club  can  resume  its  role  as  a 
united  social  unit,"  college  authorities 
and  Club  officers  this  week  investigated 
the  possibilities  of  obtaining  a  house  to 
replace  the  Club-vacated  Currier  Hall 
dining  room  and  lounges,  now  in  use  by 
the    Naval   Flight  Preparatory  School. 

According  to  Club  President  Paul  L. 
Kohnstamm  '44,  "we  have  looked  into 
several  places  in  town  with  the  former 
Forget-Me-Not  Inn  offering  the  best 
kitchen  facilities,  dining  room  service, 
living  quarters,  and  lounge  room  so  far.

Tea  with  Falkenherg,  Tennis  Against  Budge 
Part  of  Day*s  Work  to  Chaffee  in  Miami 

From  playing  tennis  with  Don  Budge  to  having  tea  with  Jinx  Falkenberg  is  all 
in  a  day's  work  for  ex-Williams  tennis  Coach  Clarence  C.  Chaffee,  who  returned 
this  week  on  leave  after  having  joined  the  Army  Air  Force  seven  months  ago.  Being 
P.  T.  Barnum  to  men  of  four  training  schools  at  Miami,  Fla.,  has  given  him  a 
coat  of  tan  and  a  silver  bar  for  each  shoulder. 
Showed  Moral  Aptitude 

Lieutenant  Chaffee  is  technically  termed 
a  theatre  officer  of  the  Special  Services 
and  his  job  is  to  coordinate  all  the  enter- 
tainment for  the  men  in  training  at  Miami. 
The  Army's  aptitude  test  put  him  into 
the  morale  job  after  he  had  been  taking 
preliminary  training  at  Fort  Meade  for 
physical  education  work. 

Since  then  he  has  been  introducing 
fire-eaters,  snake  charmers,  and  top- 
bracket  artists  like  Constance  Bennett, 
Jinx  Falkenberg,  Andr6  Kostelanetz, 
and  Lily  Pons  before  gatherings  of  up  to 
3000  men.  His  audiences  come  from  two 
basic  training  camps,  an  Officer  Candidates 
School  and  an  Officers'  Training  School, 
all  located  in  Miami  hotels. 

Takes  Oamas  from  Champ 

After  a  few  preliminary  games  with 
Frank  Shields,  the  ex-coach  met  Don 
Budge  and  began  to  play  against  him 
regularly  every  Sunday  afternoon  in  both 
doubles  and  singles.  Chaffee  was  blanked 
in  the  first  sets,  but  says  now  that  he  can 


take  two  or  three  games  every  set  if  the 
World's  champion  isn't  bearing  down  too 
hard.  As  a  hint  to  those  who  might  play 
Budge,  Chaffee  says,  "He  puts  every  shot 
within  a  half  a  foot  of  the  side  stripes." 

Getting  more  serious,  Chaffee  offered 
some  advice  to  men  entering  the  service. 
"Keep  your  mouth  shut  and  never  vol- 
unteer. If  you  shoot  your  mouth  off  you 
get  into  all  kinds  of  trouble.  Just  don't 
buck  the  machine  and  you  get  along  swell 
with  the  Army."  That's  the  philosophy 
with  which  Chaffee  has  managed  to  keep 
his  dignity  as  superior  to  an  office  staff  of 
Broadway  greats.

Mark  Graduation 

Faculty  Club  Reception 
Precedes  Ceremonies; 
Baccalaureate   Waived 

Williams'  second  World  War  II  grad- 
uating class  will  receive  its  diplomas  in 
radically  curtailed  exercises  to  be  staged 
February  3  and  4.  The  shortened  com- 
mencement season,  as  announced  by 
Professor  Karl  E.  Weston,  will  include 
only  a  President's  reception,  a  senior  class 
dinner,  and  the  graduation  exercises. 

Chapin  Hall  will  be  the  site  of  the 
commencement  ceremonies,  which  will 
be  held  this  year  at  10:00  a.m.,  Thursday, 
February  4.  The  traditional  academic 
procession  will  be  eliminated,  but  it  has 
been  announced  that  honorary  degrees 
will  be  given  as  in  the  past. 

Tender  Reception 

February  3  will  see  a  reception  tendered 
by  Pres.  and  Mrs.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd, 
in  the  Faculty  Club.  The  affair  will  be 
held  from  4:00  to  6:00  in  the  afternoon, 
with  an  invitation  extended  to  all  seniors 
and  their  families.  Announcement  was 
also  made  this  week  that  no  tickets  for 
the  graduation  exercises  will  be  issued, 
as  no  great  demand  is  anticipated  this 
year. 

The  senior  class  will  stage  its  own  final 
gathering  in  the  form  of  a  party,  restricted 
to  members  of  that  group,  on  February  3.

Glee  Club  to  Present 
Concert  on  Saturday 

In  possibly  its  last  performance  for  the 
duration,  the  glee  club,  under  the  di- 
rection of  Robert  G.  Barrow,  will  present 
a  free  concert  at  8:00  p.m.  tomorrow  in 
the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre.  In  ad- 
dition to  selections  by  the  entire  organiza- 
tion, the  program  includes  special  num- 
bers by  the  Octet  and  a  newly  formed 
madrigal  group. 

Composed  of  representative  glees  and 
part-songs  of  the  past  400  years,  the 
concert  concludes  with  three  selections 
from  Gershwin's  Porgy  and  Bess  —  "Sum- 
mer Time",  "It  Ain't  Necessarily  So", 
and  "Promised  Land."  A  special  feature 
is  scheduled  in  the  first  appearance  of  a 
twelve-man  group  which  will  sing  mad- 
rigals in  the  informal  manner  of  the 
sixteenth  century,  seated  around  a  table. 
Among  the  songs  they  will  give  are 
"April  Is  in  My  Mistress'  Face"  by 
Merely,  "Ccme  Again,  Sweet  Love"  by 
Dowland,  and  two  rounds,  "Chairs  to 
Mend"   and   "Alleluia." 

The  Octet  is  also  listed  on  the  program. 
Accompanied  by  the  well-known  local 
pianist,  Nathan  Rudnick,  they  will  choose 
"a  varied  group  of  polite  barber-shot 
ballads  and  sophisticated  swing"  from 
their  repertoire. 


Conferees  Concur 
On  Aims  of  Peace, 
Clash  Over  Details 

Collective  Security  Need 
Emphasized  by  Dolivet; 
Baxter,   Werner    Debate 

Ten  months  ago  representative  national 
leaders  at  the  Fourth  Annual  Williams 
Conference  agreed  that  the  prerequisite 
to  an  United  Nation's  victory  was  the 
seizure  of  initiative  on  the  military  and 
ideological  fronts.  Last  weekend  par- 
ticipants in  the  fifth  Conference  were  un- 
animous in  agreeing  that  the  Allies  had 
effectively  taken  the  offensive  in  battle 
operations,  but  had  as  yet  to  formulate  a 
dynamic  alternative  to  Hitler's  New 
Order  that  would  give  to  the  conquered 
peoples  of  the  world  a  stake  in  the  future. 
'Aims'  and  'Terms' 

Just  how  precise  a  formulation  of  Allied 
aims  can  be  made  at  this  point  was  a 
matter  for  argument  in  the  final  panel  of 
the  shortened  three-session  parley,  organ- 
ized around  the  general  theme  "War  and 
Peace."  The  Sunday  morning  round 
table  discussion,  titled  "The  Peace  Settle- 
ment," found  conferees  Dolivet,  Lerner, 
and  Werner  hewing  to  the  thesis  that  the 
aim  of  a  world  guaranteed  by  collective 
security  and  based  on  the  principle  of 
human  freedom  should  be  proclaimed  by 
the  United  Nations  leaders,  while  UP 
official,  Frederick  Oechsner,  recently  re- 
turned from  internment  in  Germany, 
insisted  that  the  United  Nations  were  not 
ready  to  agree  on  peace  terms.  Professor 
Lerner's  introduction  of  a  distinction  be- 
tween 'aims' and  'terms'  failed  to  convince 
the  author  of  This  Is  the  Enemy  that  any 
real  unanimity  of  purpose  could  be  reached 
at  this  time. 

Revolutionary  Arnay 

Louis  Dolivet,  editor  of  the  liberal 
journal,  Free  World,  stressed  the  avidity 
with  which  Europeans  were  awaiting  some 
hopeful  manifestation  from  responsible 
leaders  of  the  United  Nations.  He  re- 
minded the  audience,  "Europe  is  deeply 
democratic.  The  only  decisive  factor  in 
19th  and  20th  century  Europe  has  been 
democracy."  He  went  on  to  observe  that

Sextet  Tops  Panthers, 
Loses  to  MIT)  Harvard 

ICittredge  Leads  Six  To 
Eleventh-Hour  Triumph 

Bouncing  back  from  stinging  defeats 
administered  by  Harvard  and  MIT  on 
their  Boston  jaunt  last  weekend,  Williams' 
hockey  team  pulled  ahead  of  Middlebury 
twice  in  the  final  period  to  salt  away  a 
S-4  victory  in  a  bitterly-contested  game 
on  the  Panthers'  rink  Wednesday  night. 

Captain  Bob  Kittrcdge,  who  later 
scored  the  winning  tally  in  the  third 
period,  put  the  Ephs  out  in  front  against 
Middlebury  as  he  chalked  up  two  goals  in 
the  first  eleven  minutes  of  play,  both 
unassisted.  The  Blue  rallied  in  the 
second  chukker  as  they  whisked  two  pucks 
past  the  Eph  net-minder,  while  freshman 
Jim  Young  tallied  for  the  Purple. 
3rd  Canto  Tells  Tale 

The  pay-off  came  in  the  third  canto, 
however,  as  Al  Bedford  counteracted 
two  Middlebury  successful  attempts  that 
tied  the  score  at  4-all.  Then  it  was  that 
Captain  Kittredge,  with  less  than  four 
minutes  of  playing  time  remaining  in  the 
engagement,  led  the  Snivelymen  to  a 
hard-earned  victory  over  the  Vermonters 
with  his  third  and  final  score  of  the  con- 
test. 

The  Engineers  from  MIT  took  care  in 
the  Boston  Arena  Friday  evening  that  the 
Purple  would  not  repeat  its  4-1  Lake  Placid 
triumph.  Jumping  off  to  a  fast  two-goal 
lead  in  the  first  period,  MIT  traded  a  brace 
of  scores  with  Coach  Whoops  Sniveley's 
men  in  the  second  round  and  went  on  to 
administer  the  knockout  blow  by  register- 
ing the  final  marker  of  the  game  shortly 
before  the  closing  whistle.

The  Recoui)  takes  pleasure  in  announcing  the  winners  of  the  pre- 
liminary competition  of  its  sophomore  editorial  board:  Edward  J.  Block 
of  Scar.silalc,  N.  Y.;  Edwin  Gasperini  of  Great  Neck,  L.  I.,  N.Y.;  Charles 
H.  Heuor  of  Wincote,  Pa.;  H.  Bruce  McClellan  of  Spring  Grove,  Pa.; 
Peter  D.  Silverstonc  of  West  Hartford,  Conn.;  and  John  H.  Winant  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  Beginning  next  semester,  McClellan  and  Winant  will 
compete  for  the  positions  of  editor-in-chief  and  editorial  chairman,  Heuer 
and  Silverstonc  for  the  positions  of  managing  editor  and  assistant  manag- 
ing editor,  and  Block  and  Gasperini  for  the  positions  of  sports  editor  and 
senior  news  editor. 

As  the  result  of  the  two-semester  competition  of  the  sophomore 
business  board  of  The  Record,  James  H.  Dickey  of  Garden  City,  N,  Y. 
was  chosen  business  manager;  Charles  E.  Clapp,  2nd,  of  Dedham,  ad- 
vertising manager;  Luther  L.  Hill  of  Des  Moines,  la.,  circulation  manager; 
and  E.  Stuart  Wilson  of  Newtonville,  oflBce  manager.  These  men  will 
assume  their  new  positions  in  June. 


Half  Won 

This  morning's  headlines  told  of  new  Russian  advances  on  Kharkov 
and  along  the  lower  Don;  of  British  columns  converging  on  Tripoli;  of 
continued  pounding  on  Ihe  Axis-held  cities  in  Tunisia.  This  evening's 
Recohd  carries  the  story  of  how  Max  Werner,  accused  of  overoptimism 
at  the  Fourth  Annual  Spring  Conference  when  he  predicted  the  United 
Nations  would  take  the  offensive  in  1942,  asserted  at  the  fifth  parley 
last  week  that  the  war  is  "strategically  half  won,"  that  victory  in  1943 
is  a  "strategic  possibility." 

The  keynote  of  the  conference  was  not  one  of  easy-going  irresponsi- 
bility. The  war  is  half  won,  agreed  conferees,  but  only  half  won.  Military 
offensives  must  be  followed  by  an  ideological  offensive.  And  that 
offensive  must  come  now.  Said  Louis  Dolivet,  "A  fighting  revolutionary 
army  will  arise  in  Europe  if  we  give  them  hope  of  a  democratic  future  to 
fight  for,  rather  than  exhort  them  merely  to  fight  against  evil." 

And,  with  the  war  half-won,  this  morning's  headlines  gave  no  indica- 
tion that  the  United  Nations  are  now  prepared  to  open  that  psychological 
offensive.  In  England  conservative  leadership  and  liberal  population 
could  agree  on  but  one  principle,  vigorous  prosecution  of  the  war.  Eng- 
land's ])opulation  could  not  wholeheartedly  cheer  Winston  Churchill's 
now  classic  statement:  "We  mean  to  hold  our  own.  I  did  not  become 
the  King's  First  Minister  to  preside  over  the  liquidation  of  the  British 
Empire."  And  while  the  English  people  stood  ready  to  push  aside 
differences  blocking  United  Nations  attempts  at  defining  peace  aims, 
English  leaders  did  not. 

In  the  United  States  isolationists  and  reactionaries  were  as  numerous 
in  public  office  as  before  the  war.  The  Wheelers,  the  Tafts,  the  Nyes, 
the  Fishes,  the  Treadways  still  exercised  their  vote  on  the  floor  of  Con- 
gress. Stand-in  for  the  President,  Henry  A.  Wallace  raised  a  solitary 
voice  for  the  clarification  of  peace  aims  now.  Criticisms,  petty  objections, 
attacks  have  greeted  his  proposals  on  every  side. 

This  morning  the  war  raged  on,  only  half  won.

regrets  to  announce  that  no  prize  will  be 
.iwarded  this  year.  The  committee  feels 
that  the  manuscripts  submitted  were  so 
few  in  number  and  so  poor  in  quality  that 
none  of  them  deserves  the  recognition 
which  the  prize  implies.  This  action  has 
been  taken  not  in  order  to  discourage 
future  competition  for  this  prize,  but  rath- 
er to  encourage  more  students  to  compete 
as  well  as  to  challenge  them  to  greater 
effort.

Returning  to  the  problem  of  the  Far 
East,  Werner  termed  a  Russo-Japanese 
conflict  "inevitable."  He  pointed  out 
that  their  dispute  has  been  seething  for 
much  longer  than  the  American-Japanese 
dispute,  and,  like  the  latter,  must  ultimate- 
ly end  in  war.  Asked  when  he  thought 
this  battle  would  come,  Werner  ventured,

The  Dean's  Office  this  week  announced 
that  the  following  have  left  college: 
Kiernan  '44,  who  has  entered  aviation 
school  in  preparation  for  the  bomber 
Ferry  Command;  Perkins  '48,  who  has

prior  to  entrance  in  meteorological  school; 
and  Vanderhoef  '46-J,  who  has  entered 
the  Army  Air  Corps. 

As  the  result  of  a  competition,  the  Glee 
Club  announces  the  appointment  of 
Elbert  H.  Loughran  '4S  to  the  post  of 
assistant  manager  for  the  school  year 
1943,  to  become  manager  for  1943-1944. 
Thomas  M.  Osborne  '48,  has  been  chos- 
en to  act  as  transportation  manager  for  | 
the  coming  year. 

In  the  three  prize  speaking  contests 
held  this  week  the  following  awards  were

of  Germany."  A  combination  of  Russia 
and  China  in  a  land  encirclement,  and 
the  United  States  in  sea  and  air  action 
could  knock  out  Japan  in  less  than  a  year, 
declared  the  visiting  expert.  "But  some 
part  of  Japan,  if  only  Korea,  must  be 
invaded   by   land,"    he  averred. 

Japan  will  become  a  province  of  China, 
Werner  asserted,  and  will  eventually  be 
swallowed  up  completely.  He  further 
predicted  that  the  Chinese  nation  would 
undergo  the  same  industrial  reconstruc- 
tion that  Russia  underwent  from  1920 
to  1940,  utilizing  all  of  her  tremendous 
resources  of  men  and  materials.  He  does 
not  believe,  however,  that  China  will 
have  to  adopt  the  same  governmental 
form  as  Russia  did,  for  hi-  believes  that 
a  democracy  guaranteed  by  a  world 
collective  security  can  lead  China's 
growth. 

REGISTRATION 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
committee  found  that  no  re-registration 
would  be  necessary  and  proceeded  to  clear 
up  the  few  conflicting  schedules  early  this 
week.  According  to  Professor  Keller, 
main  difficulty  in  the  work  was  the  alloca- 
tion of  teaching  hours  to  faculty  members 
who  are  engaged  in  the  Navy  program, 
and  the  scheduling  of  laboratory  hours. 
The  straw  registration  disclosed  that  433 
students  could  take  all  the  courses  they 
wanted  without  any  conflicts,  and  that 
ninety-four  of  the  remaining  ninety-five 
had  only  one  conflict  to  change. 

The  Dean's  Office  announced  this  week 
that  final  enrollment  for  all  students  will 
be  held  Sunday,  February  14,  from  11:00 
a.m.  until  9:00  p.m.  All  returning  stu- 
dents must  register  at  this  time,  as  first 
semester  classes  are  scheduled  to  begin 
at  7:30  a.m.,  February  IS. 

Chase  '29,  Mott  '18 
Lauded  for  Heroism 

Two  Williams  graduates,  Capt.  Richard 
H.  Chase  '29  and  Col,  John  W.  Mott  '18, 
fighting  on  opposite  sides  of  the  globe, 
recently  were  cited  for  heroism.  Chase 
was  awarded  the  Medal  of  Honor  by 
French  authorities  in  Tunisia,  while 
Mott  received  the  Oak  Leaf  Cluster  to 
the  Silver  Star  for  his  exploits  on  New 
Guinea. 

Faced  with  almost  instantaneous  death. 
Chase,  an  Army  chaplain,  fearlessly 
charged  into  a  battery  of  German  ma- 
chine guns  to  drag  a  badly  wounded 
private  within  the  safety  of  the  American 
lines.  Mott  was  mentioned  for  his 
gallantry  in  leading  American  troops  in  a 
fierce  attack  on  Buna  Village,  where  the 
Japanese  had  concentrated  their  defenses. 

At  Williams  Chase  was  president  of  the 
Christian  Association,  permanent  vice- 
president  of  his  class,  and  a  member  of 
Gargoyle  and  Psi  Upsilon.  Mott  played 
football  and  was  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mons Club.

CONFERENCE 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
no  country  had  ever  voted  the  fascists 
into  power.  "A  fighting  revolutionary 
army  will  arise  in  Europe,"  Dolivet  prom- 
ised, "if  we  give  them  hope  of  a  democratic 
future  to  fight /or,  rather  than  exhort  them 
merely  to  fight  against  evil." 

Both  Dolivet  and  Max  Werner,  battle 
strategist-veteran  of  the  last  conference, 
were  in  accord  that  unless  we  could  furnish 
Russia  and  China  evidence  of  our  post-war 
intentions,  supported  by  immediate  mil- 
itary aid,  the  elements  of  nationalism  in 
each  might  be  able  to  seize  control  in  the 
international  game  of  power  politics  that 
may  follow  on  the  heels  of  the  armistice. 
If  we  declare  ourselves  unalterably  com- 
mitted to  a  program  of  collective  security,

Wes  Matmen  Top 
Unbalanced  Purple 

Register  Wins  in  First 
Five  Matches  to  Take 
Year's  Last  Meet,  17-13 

A  dogged  Purple  mat  squad,  outclassed 
decisively  in  the  lower  weights,  brought  its 
curtailed  two-meet  season  to  a  close  last 
Saturday  in  Middletown  with  a  17-13  de 
feat  at  the  hands  of  Wesleyan's  potent 
combine.  The  match  marked  the  Card- 
inals' third  win  over  Williams  in  as  many 
years,  and  set  them  well  on  the  way  to  their 
third  straight  Little  Three  crown. 

The  first  five  matches  went  in  quick 
succession  to  the  home  team,  one  by  a  fall. 
After  Bill  Imbrie,  staging  his  first  appear- 
ance of  the  year,  had  been  edged  out  of 
the  running  on  a  close  point  decision, 
sophomore  Tim  Tyler  was  outclassed  by 
Brown  on  a  12-6  decision.  Despite  a  stiff 
battle,  his  opponent's  experience  proved 
too  great  an  obstacle  for  recruit  Tyler, 
wrestling  in  collegiate  competition  for  the 
first  time. 

Rout  in  Prospect 

Wesleyan's  Laidler  likewise  outclassed 
Pete  McNerney  to  chalk  up  three  Cardinal 
points  in  the  136-pound  class.  Ed  Block, 
appearing  in  the  Williams  lineup  for  the 
first  time,  was  no  match  for  Kirk,  who 
managed  to  gain  a  fall  in  5:04  with  a  half 
nelson  and  hammer  lock,  to  take  the  145- 
pound  division. 

The  match  began  to  assume  the  propor- 
tions of  a  rout  in  the  ISS-pound  class, 
where  Co-Captain  Bill  Klopman  was 
topped  by  Captain  Bowles  on  a  12-3 
decision.  With  the  result  no  longer  in 
doubt,  Co-Captain  Rob  Jones,  at  165, 
gained  some  measure  of  retaliation  in 
rolling  up  a  10-2  point  decision  over 
Potter,  after  having  come  close  to  netting 
a   fall   on    two   occasions. 

Mort  Quantrell  and  Art  Vorys  followed 
through  to  register  the  only  Purple 
falls  of  the  afternoon  in  one-sided  clashes 
that  took  the  sting  out  of  the  defeat. 
With  a  bar  arm  and  crotch  hold  Fresh- 
man Quantrell  downed  Daisley  in  7:10, 
while  heavyweight  Vorys  ended  his  con- 
test in  exactly  the  same  time  with  a  half- 
nelson  and   bar  arm. 

BASKETBALL 

(Continued  from  paie  1) 
ice  with  a  set  shot,  then  Philpott  and 
Rebii  counted  before  Harter  got  the  first 
five  Williams  points.  Then  Rebh  caught 
fire  and  it  was  Army  all  the  way  until 
halftime    stopped    the   scoring   at    25-16. 

At  the  opening  of  the  .second  half  the 
Purple  quintet  had  its  best  chance  to 
pull  up.  Army  fell  off,  picking  up  only 
one  foul  in  ten  minutes,  but  three  points 
by  Bridgewater  were  the  best  the  losers 
could  muster.  From  26-19  the  Pointers 
pulled  steadily  ahead  as  Williams  netted 
only  two  field  goals  during  the  entire 
second  half.  Only  Bridgewater  and  Andy 
Knox  could  score  in  this  period. 

Captain  Harter,  Tolles,  and  Wallace 
will  see  action  in  Williams  uniforms  for 
the  last  time  a  week  from  tomorrow  night 
when  the  five  plays  host  to  Middlebury. 
This  game  will  decide  a  battle  between 
Harter  and  Tolles  for  the  scoring  honors 
in  their  curtailed  season.  Seven  points 
in  the  Army  game  gave  Harter  the  edge, 
59-58,  and  both  are  twenty  points  ahead 
of  the  next  contender,  Junior  Don  Lindsay. 

Last  winter  Dale  Burnett's  men 
trounced  the  Panthers,  44-31,  in  the  open- 
ing game  of  the  season,  Harter  getting 
fifteen  points  to  nose  out  Fred  Lapham  of 
Middlebury  by  one.  Lapham  will  again 
face  the  Ephmen  this  year,  this  time  as 
captain,  leading  two  other  Middlebury 
lettermen  to  Williamstown.

amounts  to  approximately  one-half  of  our 
present  membership.  A  certain  number 
of  necessary  expenditures  are  foreseen  but 
the  place  is  in  basically  good  shape." 

Combination  Unavoidable 

Frank  R.  Thorns,  Jr.  '30,  IFC-appointed 
official  to  deal  with  the  board  and  room 
situation  for  next  semester,  and  head  of 
CBM,  declared  that  "it  would  seem  thai 
if  the  Garfield  Club  members  do  not  con- 
tinue to  eat  at  fraternity  houses,  some 
form  of  eating  combination  will  have  to  be 
undertaken  by  the  fraternities.  This  is 
unavoidable  because  some  houses  will  be 
too  small  to  operate  and  break  even. 
Such  combination  would  be  but  a  prelude 
to  what  will  undoubtedly  have  to  happen 
later  on  as  more  men  leave  college  for  the 
armed  services." 

Under  the  Club-proposed  plan,  half  of 
its  membership  would  continue  to  eat  at 
the  fraternity  houses  while  the  other  half 
would  n'ake  use  of  the  facilities  of  the  now- 
vacant  Forget-Me-Not  Inn  located  just 
across  Main  Street  from  Currier  Hall. 
Board  would  be  the  same  as  that  now  be- 
ing paid  at  the  fraternities,  and  the  new 
Club  Ik  me  would  have  its  own  kitchen 
staff  and  houseman. 

Officers  of  the  Garfield  Club  are  still 
inspecting  other  prospects  both  as  to 
availability  for  dining  purposes  and  as  to 
use  for  holding  Club  get-togethers,  meet- 
ings, and  social  functions.  "The  Forget- 
Me-Not  seems  to  best  fill  the  bill,  how- 
ever," President  Kohnstanim  stated.  "In 
addition  to  its  spacial  advantages,  the 
college  already  owns  the  building,  and  the 
porch  and  grounds  surrounding  the  house 
are  ideal  for  the  summer."

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  JANUARY  22,  1943 


Conant   Blasts  Liberal  Arts  for  Duration, 
But  Feels  Confident  of  Peacetime  Future 


by  Ralph  A.  Graves  '46 
James  H.  Conant,  president  of  Harvard 
I'niversity,  demanded  a  death  sentence 
for  liberal  arts  education  for  the  duration 
of  the  war  in  his  annual  report  to  the 
Harvard  I'niversity  Board  of  Overseers 
last  Friday  niorninsj.  President  Conant 
recommended  that  the  nation's  collet'es 
be  converted  totally  to  the  war  efTort 
and  placed  under  the  full  jurisdiction  of 
military  and   naval  authorities. 

All  schemes  for  the  continuance  of 
liberal  arts  education  in  wartime,  said 
President  Conant,  "flounder  when  they 
strike  the  facts  of  the  emotional  situation 
created  by  a  war."  The  proposition  goes 
to  pieces  when  one  asks  the  followinR 
questions:  Would  you  want  to  be  one 
of  these  young  men  reserved  for  special 
study  throus;hi>ut  the  war?  Woidd  such 
men  in  fact  be  leaders  among  their  con- 
temporaries who  had  faced  the  hardships 
and  run  tlie  risk  of  war?" 

The  Harvard  president  was  quick  to 
add,  however,  that  he  had  not  the  slight- 
est doubt  that  the  liberal  arts  will  sur- 
vive this  war.  The  humanistic  studies 
are  capable,  in  the  president's  opinion, 
of  surviving  "a  period  of  hibernation 
while  we  win  this  war."  Instead  of  a 
post-war  disintegration,  President  Conant

foresees  "a  new  period  of  growth  and 
evolution.  The  extent  and  speed  of  this 
rehabilitation  will  .depend  on  the  imag- 
ination and  statesmanship  of  those  who 
now  teach  the  liberal  arts."  He  went  on 
to  quote  former  President  A.  Lawrence 
Lowell's  statement  that  institutions  per- 
ish only  "from  lack  of  vigor"  and  de- 
nounced the  mourners  of  the  future  of 
liberal  arts  as  men  lacking  in  faith. 

President  Conant  proposes  to  use  this 
educational  lapse  in  liberal  arts  history 
to  rebuild  and  revitalize  the  educational 
system,  and  with  this  purpose  in  mind, 
he  has  appointed  a  committee  on  "The 
Objectives  of  a  General  Education  in  a 
Free  Society."  This  committee  will  con- 
sider educational  problems  and  goals 
and  the  President  hopes  that  the  results 
may  be  used  to  clean  the  educational 
house  and  have  it  in  readiness  for  post- 
war use. 

President  Conant  emphasized  the  fu- 
ture democracy  of  education.  "The  pri- 
mary concern  of  American  education," 
he  stated,  "is  not  the  development  of  the 
appreciation  of  the  good  life  in  young 
gentlemen  born  to  the  purple.  Our  pur- 
pose is  to  cultivate  in  the  largest  possible 
number  of  our  future  citizens  an  appre- 
ciation of  both  the  responsibilities  and 
benefits  which  come  to  them  because  they 
are  Americans  and  are  free."

CONFERENCE 

(Continued  from  page  3) 
Werner  and  Dolivet  felt  confident  that 
both  Russia  and  China  could  live  peace- 
fully in  the  family  of  nations. 
'SO  to  70  Divisions' 
Saturday  afternoon's  Jesup  Hall  round 
table,  based  on  "The  Course  of  the  War," 
was  devoted  to  a  military  review  and  fore- 
cast by  Werner  and  President  James  P. 
Baxter  3rd,  plus  an  analysis  of  the 
problems  of  the  home  front.  Optimistical- 
ly, expert  Werner  declared  that  "fifty  to 
seventy  additional  divisions  on  the 
European  front  will  bring  early  Allied 
victory."  He  foresaw  as  a  "strategic 
possibility"  the  defeat  of  Germany  in 
1943. 

Baxter  launched  an  attack  on  this  as 
overoptimistic.  Many  of  the  audience 
recalled  that  at  last  March's  Conference 
Baxter  issued  a  similar  warning  when  he 
cautioned  Werner  "for  his  excessive 
optimism  over  the  possibilities  of  a  1942 
Allied  offensive."  (THE  RECORD,  March 
27,   1942). 

Oechsner,  whose  arrival  from  a  German 
concentration  camp  some  months  ago 
filled  headlines,  underlined  the  labor 
problem,  decreasing  production,  and  poor 
morale  as  vulnerable  points  in  the  Nazi 
armor,  but  warned  us  not  to  hope  for  an 
internal  collapse  in  1943.  Terrific  ex- 
ternal pressure  might  bring  about  a  break- 
up in  early  1944,  he  went  on  to  say.  In 
contrast  to  this,  military  analyst  Werner 
saw  the  slowing  of  the  German  war  ma- 
chine as  the  result  of  her  failure  to  effect 
a  successful  over-all  economic  war  plan, 
and  the  collapse  of  her  offensive  strategy. 
'Ta£t-lod  Tory  Minority' 
At  the  same  session  Lerner  and  Elmo 
Roper,  Fortune  poll  chief  clashed  over  the 
home  front.  Assessing  the  November 
elections,  the  Williams  professor  of  po- 
litical science  labelled  the  recent  state- 
ments of  leaders  in  the  Taft-Brickcr  axis 
as  "intellectual  trading  with  the  enemy," 
and  warned  that  this  "Taft-led  tory 
minority"  was  poised  to  destroy  the  gains 
of  social  progress.  Roper  expressed  con- 
fidence that  the  "inherent  common  sense 
of  the  conmion  man"  assures  correct  long- 
range  decisions,  and  laid  the  November 
setback  of  the  New  Deal  to  bad  war  ad- 
ministration and  a  "juxtaposition  of  ideal- 
ism and  Kelly-Nashism." 

The  Saturday  evening  program  com- 
prised formal  addresses  by  Oechsner, 
Roper,  and  Wilson  Wyatt,  reform  mayor 
of  Louisville,  Ky.  The  latter  credited 
the  administration  and  the  people  with 
good  work  in  organizing  for  the  war,  but 
called  for  a  greater  acceptance  of  re- 
sponsibility all  the  way  down  the  line  as 
the  way  to  relieve  our  overburdened 
federal  government.  America's  destiny, 
he  said,  is  to  pioneer  democracy  through- 
out the  world,  and  he  cited  as  a  necessary 
step  the  redistribution  of  earning  capacity. 
He  further  described  his  handling  of  the 
Louisville    Negro    problem. 

Areas  of  Ignorance 
Roper  prescribed  for  the  United  States 
a  program  of  education  implemented  by  a 
governmental  system  for  sampling  public 
opinion.  "We  must  explore  the  areas  of 
ignorance,  and  thus  will  we  find  where  to 
direct  our  educational  program,"  the 
Fortune  opinion  analyst  said. 

In  Sunday  mornings  discussion  of  what 
should  be  done  with  defeated  Germany, 
Werner  advocated  "elimination"  of  the 
three  chief  protagonists  of  German  mili- 
tarism,— the  National  Socialist  Party 
leaders,  the  Junkers,  and  the  military 
caste.  Asked  what  was  to  become  of 
indoctrinated  Nazi  youth,  Oechner  opined 
that  a  military  defeat  would  bring  re- 
vulsion in  young  Germans  against  fascism. 
It  would  then  be  necessary  to  educate 
them  to  our  way  of  life,  he  added. 


Dave  Brown  Captures 
Palmedo  Skiing  Trophy 

Wins   Carnival    Jumpingr; 
Slalom    to    Rowbotham 

As  a  fitting  climax  to  the  four-event 
Palmedo  Trophy  competition,  Dave 
Brown,  captain  of  the  varsity  ski  team, 
put  on  a  sterling  jumping  exhibition  be- 
fore a  hardy  winter  carnival  audience  to 
clinch  the  cup,  emblematic  of  college 
skiing  supremacy.  Johnny  Rowbotham 
annexed  the  'hops  slalom'  event  run  ofT 
later  Saturday  afternoon. 

The  final  tabulation  of  point  totals  found 
Brown  the  winner  with  393  points,  a  bare 
ten  markers  ahead  of  Erik  Brown,  who  fin- 
ished in  the  runner-up  position  Bob  Fisher, 
Denny  Volkmann,  and  Hank  Toll  follow- 
ed in  that  order.  In  addition  to  capturing 
the  jumping  event  with  seventy-two 
points,  the  skiing  captain  won  the  cross 
country  competition,  placed  third  in  the 
slalom,  and  fourth  in  the  downhill  race. 
Fisher  and  Erik  Brown  led  the  field  in 
the    slalom    and    downhill,    respectively. 

The  hops  slalom,  which  replaced  the 
elaborate  intercollegiate  ski  meet  and 
festivities  of  the  regular  winter  carnival, 
was  won  by  Johnny  Rowbotham  in  a 
mixed  field  of  twenty-five.  George  Smith, 
Donald  Rosenberg,  and  Fran  Lathro|) 
placed  in  the  second,  third  and  fourth 
positions.

champing  at  the  bit  after  their  narrow 
10-8  loss  to  Dartmouth  Thursday,  took 
charge  of  the  situation  immediately  and 
administered  a  sound  whitewashing  to 
their  outclassed  opponents.  Only  the 
stellar  goal-minding  of  Al  James  kept  the 
score  from  soaring  into  astronomical 
figures  as  wave  after  wave  of  Crimson 
speedsters  tore  through  the  Williams

Because  commencement  has  been  set  in 
the  middle  of  the  week,  there  will  be  no

diplomas  from  him  after  the  ceremonies 
have  been  closed.

tlie  exigencies  of  wartime  operatiini, 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  workini,'  in  col- 
laboration with  Campus  Business  Man- 
agement, yesterday  approved  two  j;eiieral 
resolutions  adiipted  by  CHM  at  a  New 
York  meeting  last  Friday  reconimeiidint; 
that  "the  physical  facilities  of  (he  social 
units  be  pooled  and  made  available  to  the 
college  for  the  duration  of  the  war." 
Gave  'Certain  Latitude' 

The  trustees  followed  this  up  with  a 
specific  resolution  of  their  ow'n  giving  the 
president  and  treasurer  of  the  college 
"certain  latitude  to  make  adjustments  for 
the  general  interest  of  the  social  units," 
and  made  it  known  that  this  applied 
particularly  to  revision  of  the  now-famous 
70-30  rooming  ratio. 

With  only  300  students  exi>ected  to 
return  next  semester,  Frank  K.  Ihonis, 
Jr.,  resident  manager  of  CBM,  announced 
that  combinations  for  eating  will  definitely 
lie  worked  out  by  February  15,  although 
all  houses  are  expected  to  be  kept  open 
for  rooming.  Me  emphasized,  however, 
that  changes  in  these  arrangements  will 
undoubtedly  be  necessary  in  the  near 
future,  and  that  the  difficulties  will  be 
smoothed  out  as  fast  as  they  appear  by 
cooperative  action  between  CBM  and  the 
college   administration.

■  .  .  Ill  the  opinion  of  our  faculty  and  un- 
i/ergraduates,  the  ideal  Williams  professor. 


11   Members  of  1947 
Will  Enroll  Next  Week 

Will     Graduate     in     1945; 
No     Rushing     Schedule 

Twenty-.seven  freshmen,  the  vanguard 
of  the  class  of  1947  and  one  of  the  smallest 
units  entering  Willianis  since  its  earliest 
days,  will  arrive  on  campus  to  begin  their 
accelerated  cour.se  on  February  12.  A 
larger  complement  to  tlie  class,  second  to 
enter  Willianis  during  World  War  II,  is 
expected  to  arrive  at  mid-years  in  July. 

According  to  the  academic  schedule 
projected  by  the  college  administration, 
the  members  of  this  contingent  will 
graduate  in  October,  1945,  almost  two 
years  ahead  of  their  normal  curriculum. 
Director  of  Admissions  Thomas  J.  Wood 
this  week  announced  that  the  incoming 
freshmen  would  arri\'e  on  campus  Febr- 
uary 12  for  a  curtailed  orientation  pro- 
gram and  would  begin  classes  with  the  rest 
of  the  college  on  the  following  Monday. 
Rushing  Postponed 

Because  of  the  time  and  money  that 
would  be  expended  in  rushing  this  small 
group,  the  Intcrfraternity  Rushing  Coni- 
niittce  two  weeks  ago  decided  that  no 
rush  period  would  be  held  for  the  February 
class.  Instead,  they  will  be  assigned  to 
cat  at  the  various  houses  with  the  Gar- 
field Club  members  until  they  are  joined 
(See  CLASS  OF  1947  pasc  2) 

250  Pre-Flight   Cadets 
Arrive  Here  This  Week 

Two  hundred  and  fifty  Naval  Aviation 
cadets,  the  second  large  group  to  enter  the 
prc-flight  school  at  Williams, willarrive  here 
today  and  Saturday  to  begin  the  three- 
month  ground  course  instruction  that  will 
prepare  them  for  later  flight  training. 
The  quota  of  200  cadets  per  class  has  been 
moved  up  for  this  group,  since  it*  has  been 
discovered  that  an  additional  number  can 
be  accommodated  without  difficulty. 

The  first  200  are  expected  to  arrive  this 
afternoon  from  Boston,  and  are  to  be 
joined  Saturday  morning  by  an  additional 
fifty.  All  the  cadets  are  from  the  New 
England  Naval  District,  with  Mas- 
sachusetts supplying  the  majority.  Sage 
Hall,  recently  evacuated  by  the  college 
freshmen,  will  house  the  new  contingent. 
Claasroom  Instruction 

Classroom  instruction  for  the  cadets  will 
commence  Monday  morning  at  7:30,  with 
time  being  taken  this  weekend  for  drill, 
training  and  preliminary  examinations. 
Because  of  the  enlargement  in  the  Naval 
school,  other  college  classroom  facilities 
will  be  appropriated  than  those  being 
used  for  the  past  month.  In  addition 
to  Hopkins  Hall,  Goodrich  and  other 
buildings  will  be  used  for  Navy  instruction.

Eight  Captains  Leave  College  As  Graduation, 
ERC  Call  Deplete   Winter  Sports  Rosters 

Williams'  winter  sports  teams  lose  eight  captains,  a  captain-elect,  and  many  letter- 
men  this  week  when  graduation  and  the  expected  calling  of  the  ERC  cut  college 
enrollment  by  more  than  half.    Five  of  the  teams  will  take  the  losses    before    the 

end  of  their  regular  seasons. 

4. 


Losing  five  of  the  top  six  men  with 
three  Little  Three  games  still  on  the  card 
for  next  semester,  the  basketball  team 
suffers  the  severest  setback.  Graduation 
of  Captain  Jack  Harter,  May  Tolles,  and 
Bob  Wallace  will  deprive  the  squad  of 
most  of  its  long  range  scoring  punch. 
Dick  Hole,  best  ball  handler  on  the  squad, 
has  already  been  called  in  the  Army  Air 
Corps  and  Johnny  Bridgcwater  expects  to 
go  into  the  ski  troops  through  the  ERC 
before  college  reopens.  This  quintet  has 
picked  up  246  of  the  team's  312  points  to 
date. 

Jeff,  Wes  Losses  Consoling 

Coach  Dale  Burnett's  only  consolation 
lies  in  the  losses  both  Amherst  and  Wes- 
lejan  will  suffer  at  the  hands  of  graduation 
and  resignations.  The  Jeflfs,  undefeated 
in  seven  games  this  winter,  have  already 
lost  Talc  Seelyc,  star  guard,  to  the  Army, 
while  .several  others  graduated  last  week- 
end. Wesleyan  held  exercises  for  some 
sixty  per  cent  of  its  senior  class  last  wirek 
and  several  court  regulars  received 
diplomas. 

Don  Lindsay  will  be  the  only  regular 
returning,  so  Burnett  will  have  to  draw 
on  a  good  supply  of  incoming  juniors. 


Despite  the  loss  of  Captain  Donn  Early, 
Captain-elect  Hank  Hewetson,  and  sev- 
eral other  varsity  men.  Coach  Bob  Muir 
will  still  have  a  strong  tank  squad  to  work 
with  after  vacation.  Freshmen  and  soph- 
omores have  played  a  dominant  part  in 
the  two  wins  chalked  up  so  far,  and 
calling  up  of  the  ERC  will  not  take  a  very 
heavy  toll.  As  far  as  can  be  determined, 
Bill  and  Dan  Case,  Dick  RafTman,  Ship 
Rudolph,  will  be  among  those  back  for  the 
Amherst  meet  in  early  March. 

Eligible  for  Competition 

A  new  Ski  Union  ruling  permitting 
competition  for  the  entire  season  will 
soften  the  blow  of  Captain  Dave  Brown's 
graduation  to  the  ski  team,  but  the  ERC 
will  make  up  for  it.  Brown  will  be  eligi- 
ble to  comp)ete  in  at  least  one  of  the 
carnivals  to  be  held  during  and  after 
vacation.  Captail-clect  Bob  Fisher  and 
Fielding  Brown  will  be  the  only  others 
returning  to  college,  as  most  of  the  outfit 
that  took  third  place  at  Lake  Placid 
during  Christmas  vacation  will  be  in  the 
Army  on  active  duty.

President  Baxter 
Gives  Main  Address 
At  Commencement 

Warns  Against  Propaganda 
to  Split  Age  and  Youth ; 
Wheaton     Valedictorian 

One  hundreti  and  thirty  seniors, 
warned  against  enemy  propaganda  destin- 
ed to  split  youth  against  the  okier  genera- 
tion by  Pies.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  re- 
ceived B. .A.  degrees  liiis  morning  in  Cliapin 
Hall,  in  Williams'  second  World  War  II 
accelerated  graduation.  .Several  of  the 
degrees  were  given  in  absentia  to  members 
of  the  class  of  1943  previously  called  into 
the  armed  forces,  and  President  Baxter 
at  the  same  time  awarded  four  honorary 
degrees  to  outstanding  graduates  and 
facull\    members,  (see  column  3). 

Kosar,    Phillips,   Wheaton 

Besides  Dr.  Baxter  Commencement 
speakers  included  the  following  under- 
graduates; Walter  P.  Kosar;  C.  Gorham 
Phillips,  undergraduate  president  of  Phi 
Bela  Kappa:  and  X'aledictorian  James  O. 
Wheaton,  all  of  the  class  of  1943. 

Time-honored  customs  went  by  the 
waxside,  with  only  three  events  marking 
the  Commencement  program.  Tuesday 
evening  a  senior  part>  was  held  in  the 
Garfield  Club  lounge  in  Currier  Hall  at 
which  time  William  C  Morrissey  and 
Charles  T.  Shea  delivered  the  class  poem 
and  the  pipe  oration,  respectively.  Class 
Day  exercises  were  omitted,  but  the 
class  iv>'  will  be  planted  indoors,  later  to 
be  transplanted  when  winter  has  passed. 
N'esterday  afternoon  President  and  Mrs. 
Baxter  entertained  the  graduating  class 
and  their  families  at  the   Faculty   Club. 

President  Baxter  Speaks 

President  Baxter,  the  principal  com- 
mencement speaker,  warned  the  graduat- 
ing class  of  the  f;icility  of  the  enemy 
propagandist  "to  drive  a  wedge  between 
the  yoiMiger  and  older  generations  and  to 
find  thoughtless  allies  in  both  to  help  with 
the  task  In  pre- Pearl  Harbor  days  the 
trick  w,is  til  describe  youth  as  irrespon- 
sible, self-centered,  deaf  to  fine  phrases 
about  patriotism,  eternal  values,  national 
traditions,  and  unwillingness  to  fight. 
Why  it  was  asked,  should  young  men  fight 
in  old  men's  wars...  wars  begotten  b\- 
imperialists  and  ni  unit  ions  makers,  and 
u.shered  into  the  world  by  bankers  and 
their  puppets?" 

"In  contrast  to  divisive  attacks  of  this 
sort,  convocations  such  as  that  in  which 
we  are  taking  part  here  this  morning  seem 
to  me  to  have  a  special  significance. 
Here  are  assembled  two  generations, 
teachers  and  taught,  sons  and  parents. 
The  younger  members  think  with  grat- 
itude of  the  friendly  collaberation  they 
have  received  from  their  teachers  and  with 
emotions  of  the  sacrifices  their  parents 
have  made.  In  a  small  college  like  this, 
the.se   ties  are  particularly  close.

The  Attack  On  Liberal  Arts 

A.s  Williani.s'  150th  clii.s.s  gruduate.s,  liberal  arts  as  an  educational 
system  i.s  undergoing  the  mo.st  .serious  attack  in  its  history.  That  attack 
comes  not  alone  from  military  leaders  trained  in  the  tradition  of  the 
.sciences;  it  comes  from  outstanding  educators  as  well.  That  attack 
is  not  alone  basetl  on  wartime,  .short-run  analysis;  it  is  long-run  as  well. 
And  as  \'M)  men  of  the  class  of  194.'J  graduate  fourteen  months  after  the 
entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the  war,  Williams  College  and  other 
colleges  like  it  are  ill-prepared  to  weather  criticism.  Many  of  the  basic 
priiicii)lcs  of  the  liberal  arts  education,  or  many  of  the  principles  which 
have  been  considered  basic,  are  on   the  block  —  and  they  are  vulnerable. 

In  Wartime  .... 

All  .schemes  for  the  coiitiiuiance  of  liberal  arts  education  in  wartime, 
■said  James  B.  ("onanl,  president  of  Harvard  University,  "founder  when 
they  strike  the  facts  of  the  emotional  situation  created  by  a  war."  Presi- 
dent Conant  .saw  a  silver  lining  for  liberal  arts  in  the  future,  but  String- 
fellow  Barr's  was  a  more  long-range  criticism. 

That  noted  educator  and  i)resident  of  St.  John's  ('ollege,  Annapolis, 
Md.,  called  the  fact  that  "the  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Navigation  could 
report  several  months  ago  that  68  per  cent  of  a  total  of  4,200  college 
freshmen  'were  unable  to  i)ass  the  arithmetical  reasoning  test'  "  a  "scan- 
dal." Liberal  arts  colleges  might  better  take  this  attack  as  an  occasion 
for  self-examination,  he  points  out;  the  defects  brought  out  by  the  war 
may  have  been  defects  in  peace  as  well. 

But  criticism  goes  still  further.  The  social  systems  at  most  colleges, 
the  Princeton  "Club"  system  and  the  Williams  fraternity  system,  inbred 
in  most  liberal  arts  institutions  over  a  period  of  one  hundred  years,  have 
been  objects  of  constant  and  not  altogether  erring  attack.  The  un- 
democratic nature  of  most  of  the  social  systems,  their  clash  with  the  job 
at  hand,  with  the  job  of  getting  an  education,  their  boasts  that  "this  is 
the  other  side  of  college,"  have  brought  question  into  the  minds  of  many. 

And  in  this  "great  stronghold  of  democracy,"  in  these  United  States, 
education  is  still  for  the  privileged  alone.  Education  has  been  given  not 
.  neces.sarily  to  the  deserving;  it  has  been  limited  to  the  few,  to  the  rich. 

....  And  in  Peace 

The  war  may  have  brought  with  it  the  answer  to  some  of  these  attacks. 
The  fraternity  .system  at  Williams  and  at  other  colleges  is  under  financial 
))re.ssure.  As  a  .system  it  will  survive  this  war,  but  consolidation  will  make 
dee])  inroads  on  it.  And  Dr.  Edwin  S.  Burdell,  director  of  Cooper  Union 
and  an  outstanding  leader  in  the  field  of  education,  has  predicted  that  the 
increasing  reliance  of  private  institutions  on  the  government  in  wartime 
may  well  lead  to  a  post-war  loss  of  independence.  Under  the  Army-Navy 
plan  for  using  the  nation's  colleges,  said  the  Boston  Herald,  "higher 
education  will  be  within  the  reach  of  every  competent  and  physically 
sound  young  man.     May  it  be  a  portent  of  the  peace  to  come." 

Government  intervention  in  the  field  of  education  may  well  be  one 
.solution  to  the  question.  That  it  is  the  only  solution  we  deny.  At  Wil- 
liams mathematics  and  the  sciences  have  been  gro.ssly  underestimated, 
iindcremphasized.  At  Williams  the  fraternity  system  and  other  traditions 
have  been  overestimated,  overemphasized.  And  Williams,  despite  the 
Tyng  and  other  grants,  is  still  a  college  for  the  privileged.  Whether 
colleges  will  become  "permanent  adjuncts  of  bureaucracy,"  said  the 
Washington  Post,  depends  on  the  "colleges  themselves."  Williams,  with 
other  liberal  arts  institutions,  must  evaluate  its  education,  its  traditions. 
Acceleration,  special  course  offerings,  a  Navy  training  unit  —  these 
alone  are  not  the  answer  to  the  attack  on  liberal  arts  education.

COMMENCEMENT 

(Coiitinui-'d  from  paKi'  I) 
reaped  for  the  human  personality.  We 
are  not  dealing  in  mass  production.  We 
have  tried,  whether  parents  or  teachers, 
to  teach  these  boys  as  individuals  ever 
since  they  first  came  into  our  lives,  .  .  . 
There  is  nothing,  I  take  it,  which  dis- 
tinguishes our  way  of  life  from  that  of  the 
totalitarians  more  sharply  than  this 
respect  for  the  human  personality.  And 
it  is  in  our  churches  and  in  our  small 
colleges  that  this  intense  concern  for  the 
individual  best  flowers. 

"(Hitler  once)  declared  that  he  wished 
'to  see  again  in  the  eyes  of  youth  the  gleam 
of  the  Ijeast  of  prey.'  Our  wish  is  different. 
(We)  have  proved  already  that  it  is  not 
necessary  in  war  to  be  imcivilized  in  order 
to  be  victorious,  and  that — as  in  the  days 
of  Socrates  and  Pericles — education  is  a 
spur,  not  a  handicap  to  the  soldier.  On 
land,  I))'  sea,  and  in  the  air  our  boys  will 
prove  this  till  the  day  of  victory. 
Two  Generations 

"While  they  are  doing  this  my  hope  is 
that  they  will  carry  with  them  that  feeling 
of  the  unity  of  the  two  generations  which 
is   so   strong   in  all    of  us    this   morning. 

"Members  of  the  class  of  1943:  You  will 
have,  in  the  armed  services  responsibility 
for  more  than  fighting.  You  must  take 
the  lead  in  your  groups  as  thinkers  as  well. 
You  can  help  to  strengthen  morale  in 
many  ways,  not  least  in  spreading  the 
sense  of  this  wider  comradeship  of  which 
I  speak,  the  unity  of  the  two  generations." 
Privilege,  Reaponsibility 

Valedictorian  Wheaton  emphasized  the 
privileges  and  responsibilities  of  the  grad- 
uating class  both  in  college  and  later  life. 
"It  has  been  our  privilege  —  our  high 
privilege  —  and  our  burden  —  during  the 
past  few  years,  to  examine  old  ideas,  to 
reaffirm  the  truth  of  many  of  them,  and 
to  discover  new  ones.  We  have  now  the 
privilege  of  joining  those  of  our  classmates 
who  have  already  left  to  defend  the  way  of 
life  which  has  secured  to  us  this  chance  of 
freely  examining  our  beliefs... We  have 
the  privilege,"  he  concluded,  "of  defend- 
ing those  ideals  and  ways  of  life  out  of 
which  alone  new  ones  may  grow.  May  we 
be  found  worthy  of  this  task." 

'As    Scientist    Sees   It' 

Walter  P.  Kosar  '43,  this  morning's 
second  commencement  speaker,  outlined 
"Our  Challenge  as  a  Scientist  -Sees  It," 
urging  greater  realization  of  this  nation's 
responsibility  to  the  world.  Each  century, 
said  Kosar,  has  presented  its  challenge  to 
the  United  States.  For  the  refusal  of  the 
last  generation  to  accept  the  challenge  of 
the  twentieth  century,  he  asserted, 
"Americans  today  are  paying  a  heavy 
price.  The  present  generation  now 
acknowledges  the  chidlenge  that  the  last 
generation   did  not. 

"No,  classmates,"  he  concluded,  "we 
are  not  a  lost  generation  as  some  would 
have  us  believe.  For  us  the  living,  one 
of  the  greatest  opportunities  has  been 
presented  to  justif\'  our  existence;  to  see 
to  it  that  those  of  us  who  will  have  made 
the  supreme  sacrifice,  will  not  have  died 
in  vain." 

'Confidence  in  Idealism' 

Emphasizing  "a  renewed  confidence  in 
idealism,"  C.  Gorham  Phillips  '43,  presi- 
dent of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  pointed  to  the 
"religion  of  materialism"  as  the  cause  of 
the  present  world  conflict.  "Today,"  said 
Phillips,  "many  Americans  reject  the 
cynicism  and  materialism  which  has  turn- 
ed the  whole  world  into  a  vast  No-Man's 
Land.  The  class  graduating  here  this 
morning  knows  that  the  facism  without 
the  United  States  and  the  passive  bar- 
barism within  have  been  the  fruits  of  the 
leadership  of  the  practical  men.  To  a 
man,  this  class  must  help  check  the 
materialism  that  only  a  few  years  ago  was 
triumphant  in  America. 

"Americans,"  he  continued,  "can  win 
the  next  peace  only  if  they  thoroughly 
understand  the  implications  of  the  Four 
Freedoms,  only  if  they  are  willing  to 
admit  that  this  is  —  and  rightly  so  —  a 
war  to  make  the  world  safe  for  democratic 
ideals,  only  if  they  realize  that  the  Allies 
lost  the  last  peace,,  not  because  of  idealism, 
but  because  they  abandoned  their  ideals 
at  the  eleventh  hour."

Second  Half  Rally 
Upsets  Middlebury 

Four  Eph  Starters  Wind 
Up  Basketball  Careers 
As    Team     Wins,    47-36 

Ay  Charlie  Heuer  '45 
A  high-powered  second  half  drive  that 
produced  thirty-two  points  in  seventeen 
minutes  gave  Williams  a  47-36  win  over  a 
stubborn  Middlebury  quintet  Saturday 
night,  as  four  Eph  starters  made  the  most 
of  their  final  few  shots  at  the  Lasell  gym 
backboards  before  entering  the  armed 
forces.  All  five  starters  dropped  at  least 
si.v  points,  but  it  was  Don  Lindsay,  the 
only  man  returning  for  next  semester's 
Little  Three  clashes,  who  was  the  spear- 
head of  the  winning  spurl. 

Slow,  Sloppy  First  Half 

The  Purple  left  the  floor  after  a  slow, 
sloppy  first  half  trailing,  22-15.  Play- 
ing without  the  services  of  Dick  Hole, 
sophomore  ball-handling  ace  who  was 
called  to  active  duty  in  the  Army  Air 
Corps  last  week,  they  had  failed  to  work 
plays  and  had  accomplished  little  with  a 
pot-luck  brand  of  ball.  But  the  second 
half  found  the  five  with  a  new  lease  on 
life. 

The  Ephs  started  slowly,  but  at  the 
final  gun,  scoring  had  hit  a  fever  pitch  as 
Coach  Dale  Burnett's  plays  set  up  breaks 
down  the  center  or  pivots  to  the  side  time 
and  again,  running  Middlebury's  man-for- 
man  defense  ragged. 

Three  Times  in  Row 

Johnny  Bridgewater  started  it  off  with 
a  pair  of  lightning  thrusts  after  two  min- 
utes had  passed.  At  the  five  minute 
mark  the  score  was  tied,  25-25,  on  hoops 
by  the  three  graduating  seniors.  Captain 
Jack  Barter,  Roy  Tolles,  and  Bob  Wallace. 
Defensive  alertness,  especially  by  Bridge- 
water,  stopped  the  visitors'  return  drives 
three  times  in  a  row  without  a  shot  at 
the  basket. 

Just  past  the  middle  of  the  half,  Wil- 
liams went  ahead  for  the  first  time  since 
earl>'  in  the  opening  period  when  Tolles 
caught  his  man  napping  and  took  Barter's 
pass  under  the  net  for  an  easy  lay-up. 
Fred  Lapham,  Middlebury  captain,  wiped 
this  out  with  a  long  one  from  near  mid- 
court,  but  Bridgewater's  foul  and  a  pivot 
play  with  Lindsay  on  the  scoring  end  made- 
it  35-34  with  but  four  minutes  left.  Then 
the  Eph  machine  went  into  high,  Lindsay 
getting  two  and  Wallace  one  Ijeforc  the 
visitors  got  together  for  one  last  drive 
that  netted  a  score  by  Jack  McGarry. 
Three  more  Williams  baskets  in  the  final 
minute  provided   the  anticlimax.

completed  its  season  with  a  win  and  a  loss 
on  the  books,  loses  Co-Captains  Bill

by  the  trustees  and  CBM,  but  the  rumor- 
rife  air  as  yet  remains  uncleared  by  any 
definite  action.  The  main  snag  in  negotia- 
tions centers  around  the  difficulty  in 
obtaining  dining  room  facilities  of 
adequate  size. 

According  to  Thorns  there  is  no  prospect 
of  either  the  Army  or  the  Navy  utilizing 
any  of  the  fraternity  houses  this  term.
