WILLIAMS COLLEGE 




SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1952 



PRICE 10 CENTS 



College Releases Student Union Plans; 
Garfield Club Announces Dissolution 



College Operates 
Cltth Dining Room 
For N on- Affiliates 

Kahn Criticizes Trustees 

For Neglect of Issue; 

Ex-Club Men Unite 



by Charles Fisher '54 

Saturday, Feb. 2— The Garfield 
Club went out of existence as a 
social unit at midnight, January 
31. The college took over the for- 
mer Club facilities in Currier Hall 
today as a dining hall for non- 
affiliates. 

The move grew out of the Club's 
December resolution to disband 
unless positive steps for total 
rushing wei'e instituted by the be- 
ginning of Spring Term. 

Total Rushing League 

Following the Club's dissolu- 
tion several non-afflUates formed 
plans for an organization to carry 
on action for total rushing and to 
Include non-afniiatcs, students in 
fraternities, faculty, and alumni 
Interested in reform of the col- 
lege social system. 

At the same time, former Club 
members were given the oppor- 
tunity to sign a pledge agreeing to 
turn down fraternity bids until 
totul i"ui>l*iiiie uii campus 'utcuiiies 
a fact. More than 145 non-affili- 
ates have signed the agreement. 
Club Dissolution 

In a Currier Hall meeting last 
night, Harold Kahn, '52, president 
of the former Garfield Club, offi- 
cially dissolved the non-fratem- 
Ity organization by a simple de- 
claration to that effect in his cap- 
acity as president. Following the 
declaration, all physical property 
of the Club immediately reverted 
to the college, owners of Currier 
Hall. Beginning with breakfast to- 
day, the college undertook the 
serving of meals In Currier Hall, 
retaining the Club's kitchen staff 
and waiters. 

Commenting on the Club move, 
Kahn termed the idea of the Club 
as a strong. Independent social 
unit "a social myth" and critic-

Matthews Urges 
Ideas in Science 



Ideas, Experimentation 
Needed for Progress 



Thursday. January 31 — Pro- 
fessor Samuel A. Matthews of 
the Biology Department em- 
phasized in a lecture entitled 
"Gadgets and Ideas in Science" 
the importance of ideas and ex- 
perimentation over the develop- 
ment of gadgets. Matthews, chair- 
man pro tempore of the faculty, 
delivered his lecture In the 
Thompson Biology Laboratory. 

Too many scientists spend their 
time playing with gadgets instead 
of Investigating and proving 
ideas, according to Matthews. 
These "push - button scientists" 
fall to realize that basic scientific 
principles spring from ideas and 
not from doodads. Although these 
devices are useful and necessary 
tools, they must not be given pri- 
mary importance, but must be 
relegated to their proper position. 

After developing his idea by 
pointing out the achievements of 
men who worked through experl^ 
mentation, Matthews closed by 
saying that gadgets have provided 
new methods of precision and are 
of tremendous value. Ideas, how- 
ever, should be proven by experi- 
ment with the aid of gadgets for 
true scientific advance. 



Ex-Club Men on Spring Street 




President lOmeritu.s Hul Kann 'S2 reads the Adviser from the 
steps uf Mike's College Restaurant, 

Non-Affiliates Assemble on Spring 
Street for Post-Dissolution Lunch 



Friday, Feb. 1— In a mass ilemonstration, the members of the 
cx-Gariield (Mub unanimously t-liose the two Spring Street eating 
emporiums, Mike's and the Gym Lunch, for their first meals as 
non-affihates today. 

Tlie crowd reached its |)eak sliortly after twelve o'clock. 
Amid flashing cameras and loud applause, Hal Kahn, '52, on the 
steps of Mike's, read the Adviser to the assembled throng. 

Positive Step ^ '- 

Kahn summed up the situation 
in these words: "As of this mom- 



ent we haven't been told person- 
ally by the college about the food 
situation, and we've come to the 
only two places left for us. We'll 
have to eat here until we get fur- 
ther word from the administra- 
tion. If they tell us their plans 
about feeding us, we'll definitely 
cooperate in every way." 

Matt Markotlc, '52, approving 
the student downtown gathering, 
said, "I see this as a positive step 
showing the unity of the non- 
sifllUates -Nmii-is-thcJ^i m f ^''- -fur- 
ther definite action. Continuation 
under this system is impossible." 
Situation Unsatisfactory 

Sam Humes, '52 felt that: " So 
tar, the college has given no in- 
dication as to eating facilities. The 
situation is very unsatisfactory, 
nor do I look to the prospect of 
communal eating. I am disap- 
pointed in the college's inadequate 
action." 

Ted Cochinos and Jack Rose 
were heard to say: "We'd like to 
see this every day, and we'll give 
them what they're looking for. 
We just wish they wouldn't come 
down in a body. We will be open 
breakfast, lunch, and supper. We 
re prepared so there'll be no 
waiting."

Gargoyle, i4fnfcerst Honor Society 
Discuss Williams' Social Difficulties 



Callaghan Lists Problems 

Of Deferred Rushing; 

Foehl Outlines Plans 

Amherst, Feb. 4— Amherst Pres- 
ident Charles Cole and Williams 
Treasurer Charles A. Foehl, Jr., 
were the principal speakers at the 
annual Gargoyle-Scarab dinner to- 
night at the Lord Jeff Inn, in the 
absence of Williams President 
James P. Baxter. III. who was 
unable to attend. 

Discussion at the meeting cen- 
tered on recent developments in 
the fraternity situation at Wil- 
liams. Mr. Foehl reviewed the 
problem here and outlined the 
plan of the trustees for deferred 
rushing, freshman dining, and a 
Student Union building, while 
President Cole explained the Am- 



herst system of deferred rushing. 
Callaghan Speaks 

William D. Callaghan '52, presi- 
dent of Gargoyle, spoke on the 
pros and cons of deferred rushing. 
Howard Burnett, president of 
Scarab, acted as toastmaster and 
opened the meeting to informal 
discussion at the conclusion of the 
talks. 

Scarab is the senior honorary 
society at Amherst, and its re- 
quirements for membership and 
services to the college closely 
parallel those of the Gargoyle So- 
ciety at Williams. The custom of 
annual meetings between these 
two groups was established in or- 
der to provide an opportunity for 
an interchange of ideas on current 
problems. The place of meeting 
alternates each year between Wil- 
liams and Amherst.

Saturday, Feb. 9- The Buildings anil Ground Gommittee of the 
Hoard of Tiustees announced today that architects have begun 
plans for the Student Union Ijuildinn ])roposed by the Trustees 
on January 22, 1952. Williams Treasurer Charles A. Foehl stated 
that the college is "rushing all jjlanning, in the hope that groimd 
may be broken this summer and building finished by the fall 
of 1953". 

Architects are considering the area lying between the Fresh- 
man Quad and the President's house us a possible location. Tlie 
Trustees decided the Student Union and freshman eating facili- 
ties should be incorporated in the same building. Several major 
criteria for construction of tlie Student Union include a dining hall 
large enough to aeeomniodate

Wesleyan DV Chapter 
May Face Suspension 

Defies National's Ruling, 
Initiates Negro Student 



a tiestniian class of 300 with 
separate dining facilities for up- 
perclassmen, faculty, alumni, par- 
ents and guests and a large cen- 
tral kitchen to supply both dining 
liall.s with the best food at the 
lowest possible cost." 

Recreation Areas Planned 
The plans call for freshman so- 
cial facilities, including a game 
room, one large lounge which 
could accommodate lecture and 
film audiences, and a smaller 
lounge. Lounge space will be pro- 
vided for Student Union activities, 
and w^ill be adaptable, in some 
cases by subdivision, to such ac- 
tivities us lectures meetings, 
dances, and films. 

A snack bar open to all students, 
including freshmen, will be con- 
structed in the building, and of- 
fices are planned which will house 
as many student activities and 
organizations as design and con- 
struction permit. 

Music A Possibility 
Together with plans for Stud- 
ent Union game facilities, in- 
cluding ping-pong and billiards, 
one college official said that piped- 
in phonograph concerts may be 
installed in the new buildings. If 
social units so desire, warehouse 
and refrigeration facilities open to 
all campus social groups may be 
housed in the Union. 

Representatives of the Boston 
architectural firm of Perry, Shaw 
and Hepburn, Kehoe and Dean 
have been engaged to draft build- 
ing plans. Requests for government 
allocation of restricted materials, 
such as steel, will be made at the 
proper time. 

The Trustees making the report, 
are Mr. Henry Flynt, Sr., of 
Greenwich, Conn., chairman of 
the trustees' committee on build- 
ings and grounds, Mr. Aurthur 
Santry of Boston. Mr. G. Dykeman 
Sterling of Maplewood. N. J. and 
Mr. Ferdinand K. Thum of Wy- 
omissing, Pa. 



Middletown, Conn., Jan. 19 — 
Despite the house's possible sus- 
pension from the national frater- 
nity a Negro. Edgar F. Beckham of 
Hartford, was one of the seven 
pledges taken into full member- 
ship at the Wesleyan chapter of 
Delta Upsilon. 

Joseph M. Proud, president of 
DU at Wesleyan and a resident 
of Wllliamstown, announced that 
the house was going on its own 
policy "to initiate on the basis of 
character and personality alone." 
Breaks National Rule 

A rule of the national organiza- 
tion provides that an alumni mem- 
ber may bar a prospective candi- 
date. In ignoring this rule by ac- 
cepting the student over a dis- 
senting alumni vote, the chapter 
faces possible suspension from the 
national fraternity. 

Beckham holds two of the uni- 
versity's major scholarships and 
was a high school honor student. 
He was elected "boy governor" of 
Connecticut at the American Le- 
gion Boys' State in 1950 and 
served as Mayor pro tern of Hart- 
ford's junior City Council.

THE NEW UNION 

The Buildings and Grountls Commitiee ot the Board ol 
Trustees released some preliminary proposals and ideas con- 
cerning the new Student union hmiui.ig today. This addition to 
tue campus adds nothing incompatible to tiie drive lor complete 
memoersaip, but, on the other naiid, it does not get to the core 
ot tue social problem at Williams, l he new building will not 
eliminate tlie unbid, disappoimed man. as long as this man exists, 
tiiere will be agitation lor e(|nal opportunity for social and 
cultural development. We view the Union as a treat that will 
provide a more pleasant Williams College and which will help 
create a more even-Keeled weekend lite lor undergraduates. The 
social system problem has remained m the high clouds of 
discussion tor tiie past six years. Ihe Union represents a concrete 
proijosal vvliieli will no doubt create new torces and ])ressures 
mat may lead to problems that will lorce the desired goal of 
a single Williams. 

We commend the administration hir its decision to build 
a Union that will provide ample and pleasant facilities. The 
building must be attractive enough to niuKe stiitlents use it from 
tlie Start. A half-way job will not draw the students and would 
not be worth the expense. The Union must offer social and 
recreational facilities as good as any ijrovided by the fraternities 
in order to get men from dilferent houses to get together in 
the new building. The proposed plans indicate that this is the 
type of structure that the atlmlmstratioii is contemplating. The 
siiacK bar lor morning colfee or a sandwich after the Hicks should 
be the biggest student drawing card. If it is at all possible, 
student postal bo.xes should be placed in the Union. This add- 
ition would insure the use of the building by at least .SOU students 
per day. Altogether, the game rooms, activity offices, lounges, 
weekend informal dances and other Uiiitm functions should 
attract at least 750 men dail)'. 

The site between the Presidents home and the Freshman 
QuadraiH'le is the best po.ssible choice nnd''r tin; circumstanees. 
Actually the Park Street lot is inneh big.ger than it appears and 
will allow for expansion of the plant slionltl increased food 
expenses force the institution of eommnnal dining. The Union 
will be piaclieally in the center of the campus within a con- 
venient three minute walk from the llbrarv or Hopkins Hall. 

We commend the administration on its decision to spend the 
necessarily large aiiiount to provide a building that will be 
pleasant enough to attract a large number of Williams men. In 
the long run, an expensive building that is used extensively will 
gain more than an unused imattractive campus center. 



Letters to the Editor 



I'o the liditor of the Williams UeeonI: 

Some eminent Williams thinkers liaM' siiggesletl that the 
split on campus was no ordinary split, hut in tact iiuplieil the 
existence ot two worlds - one a .scholastic antl the other a social, 
witn Ihe two revDhing ahont tlillerent poles. Insleail of the 
social eomnmnity eompleineiiting, it has diM'rged ami snblraeted 
the colleges lioni acatlemic hie. Ol e(|nal importance to the 
tiemoralizalion hi the tiarliekl C:lnl) is ihe lael that Iraterinl) 
selectivity has protlueetl Iraternil) norms which snhtract Iroin the 
vigor with whicii a stiitleiit might apply himsell to classroom work. 
It tloesn't seem to me that the Irnslees' moves are going to 
close the gap between the social and academic ends ol the college. 
As long as there is rejectivity anil e.velnsivity, no Iraternity 
"de-emphasis" is going to make the college a eoliesi\e body. Our 
present atlvocates of 'conniiiiiialism ' will admit that as long as 
oiir present selective system reinahis, there will always be a 
strong teinptatioii to leave a Stiulent Union lor those Iraternity 
Irientls to be hmntl in the separate houses. The Trustees' reeom- 
menilations, insleati of being positl\t' nunes alieatl, are rather 
desparate last iihnnte measures to savf al all costs that okl way 
of hie they knew at Williams. It's like tlnowing sandbags into a 
shaky tlike to slave oil the onslauglit ol a menaeing llootl. Soiiie- 
tiines the bags work, but usually the water wins, antl only 
alterwards tlo people decide they iiati better start all over again 
and btiiltl a gootl concrete dam. 

Deny Ivriise's recent letter spoke of the gradual attrition 
of Williams values unless 101)'? riishing was ellected. Does it 
not now seem that our values will be pr()gressi\ely negated, as 
Deny Kruse suggesteil, iintler the impact ol the trustees moves? 
A Stutlent Union antl I'leshnian segregation eonld be excellent 
things, but ask an .\mlieist man for his liirki tlescriptioii of 

'lining up delegations", belore yim form an opinion about 
ilelerred rushing. In atltlition eo'iiimimal eating is a natural 
protlnet ol this "I'laternit)- de-emphasis" program and will 
tiestroy a large tiegree of our small milt \ allies. H\- these values, 
I mean the warmth, strength, and soeial inatiiritv derived from 
constant eompanionslhp with a house ol (it) to 71) meinbeis. 
I still l)elie\c that small units, ineliidiiig 100', of the college, can 
,ifler the most positi\f social baekgroniitl. The present system 
or the aiionviiiilv of ciimnmiialism are negating alternatives to the 

lulv step that should be taktn. 



The Shorb plan is now the most practical way to iiitrodutc 
10(1',! rushing. It ilivides the freshmen class in hall on the basis 
of bids reei'Uftl anil each hiaise must take at least a third from 
each half. Ihe Shorb plan allows a degree ol selectivity, hut dwa 
not lead to tlie damaging situation that the straight bounce phm 
would ha\e. Ihe student body imist take llieir problem in hand 
again, direct the course of the college in a more positive way

January 20, 1952 
To the Editor of the Williams Record: 

Why must the Chapel be lockeil save for Sunday Vespers':' 
On my first return to Williams in three years yesterday, I was 
sorry to find the tloors locked. Let's not forget tliat the enduring 
strength of Williams in days to come will not be in matters 
economic, military, jiolitical, governmental, or social, but in things 
spiritual, moral, and ethical. The first half of this century has 
been plagued with wars, greed, envy, and man's inhumanity t( 
man notwithstandiug technological advance, because we forgo 
we are creatures and not the Creator. In a college of Icarninr 
such as Williams it is tragic to find all buildings open but one 
"Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.'

undetermined until tlie final relay, 
when the Eplmien, forced to com-

By Jack O'Kleffe 

Jan. 19— The Williams wrest- 
ling team suffered its third defeat 
of the .season dropping an 18-13 
decision to Springfield today at 
La.sell Gymnasium. The Maroons 
well balanced team proved to be 
the deciding factor as the Purple 
could win only three matches. 

Dick Gordon, although hamper- 
ed by a weak knee, turned in an 
excellent performance for Wil- 
liams as he pinned George Dyer 
in the 167 lb. match. Bob Hershey 
and Captain Bill Callaghan also 
showed fine form as they won de- 
cisive victories over their oppo- 
nents in the 130 and 157 lb. classes 
respectively.

Springfield, by winning three of

1 Undefeated Williams 
Frosh Battle RPl 



Feb, 9~In a determined effort

hxk scored last year between 
Williams and Amher.st, the Eph 
lioopslers will meet the Sabrinas 
in tile first of this season's pair 
of i;umes tonight at 8:15 in the 
LaSalle Oym. After Icsing to the 
Purpie at Amherst earlier in last 
year'.s season, the Jeffs ended the 
year by journeying to Williamr-- 
town and upsetting the home 
team, thus tying for the Little 
1 hrec Championship. 

The only member of the Am-

contest who will not be in the

last year's captain. The remain- 
ing four return intact along with 
.sophomore Tony Mahar. who gen- 
erally L'cts the job of guarding 
the opiJonent's high scorer. 

Lanky Sterling 'Weaver, who has 
averaged 15 points per game this 
season, and Captain Derry Ben- 
nett, who scored 13 points m last 
season's upset win over the Ephs, 
pace the well-balanced Sabrina 
attack. The other starters are 
Howie Fisher or George Sliglit at 
center and Ken 'Wright or Frank 
Mafiee at forward. 

Itocky Amherst Schedule 
The Lord Jelf record of six wins 
and four losses doesn't appear too 
impressive, but the defeats were 
incurred at the hands of two 
strolls; Ivy League powers. Col'.im- 
bia and Yale, and two formidable 
small college powers in New Eng- 
hnd. Bowdoin and Trinity. 

On the 'Williams side of the 
ledger. Co-captain Wyn Shudt is 
tlie only returning regular. The 
EpfiS w.i; fed the less of last 
year's big forward line w'nieh in- 
cluded Bob Lar.son. Harry Sheehy, 
and Don Speck which proved de- 
cisive in the Purple victory over 
the Jelfs in 1951.

'Williams' Coach Al Shaw stated, 
"We expect a very hard game with 
Amherst. They have more height, 
but we could win if we're able to 
control the backboards." 'With Co- 
captain Diz Cramer out with a 
chronic shoulder injury, the Eph 
line-up will include Shudt. E*ll 
Suessbrick, and the sophomore 
trio. Herb Sniilli. Jack Hawkins,

Down Eph Sextet 

Team Faces Tough Slate 
In Weekend Clashes 



Following recent losses to Ham- 
ilton and Army, the Williams Col- 
lege HocKey leam, with a record 
ol one win m six games, are talc- 
ing part in a weet-end twin l),ll 
wiih Norwicli and Middlebury. In- 
cluded in the season's schedule 
will be additional contests with 
Amherst and Hamilton Colleges 
on February 23 and 27 respectively. 

A fast, hard-checking Hamilton 
sextet turiied bacli Coach Bell's 
skaters by a tj-2 score at the RPI 
F.eldhOLise on January IG, Ihe 
Hcmiiion hne fired three goals 
past goalie Bud Hudson in the 
first nme minutes before Epli de- 
lenseman Ken Perry scored at 
the ten-minute mark. Hamilton 
tallied then- final goals in the 
second period, whue Jo.mny Beard 
ended the scoring at 2;,>,'5 of the 
final canto. 

Army Victorious 

The team travelled to West 
Point on January 19 where it took 
an 8-0 druubaig at the hands of 
a well-trained, fast Army six. Led 
by center Fisterman, who turned 
in the "Hat Trick" for the Point- 
ers, the Cadets scored twice in 
the opening period, five more 
times in the second, and a fmal 
goal m the last period. 

Last evening, Williams faced a 
mediocre Norwich team, which 
ciiried a 3-2 record into the game. 
I'onight, the Eph skaters travel 
to Middlebury where they are sure 
to meet stift' competition from the 
Panther sextet. It is feared tliat 
regular goalie Bud Hudson will be 
side-lined for the remamder of 
the season due to mjuries sustain- 
ed m a recent automobile accident.

race for the coveted crown. To- 
nighi's game will be the 80th re-

sities at Hofstra College today.

ment Should Adopt a Perma- 
nent Program of Wage and

go to the best single debater 
and to the best team. This 
tournament is the first on the 
Williams schedule after yester- 
day's debate with Wesleyan at

erty '53 and George McAleenan 
'52 opposed two Middletown 
orators.

Club Dissolves . . . 

ized the Trustees of the College 
for their "neglect" of total rush- 
iiig, "the most important social 
issue on campus." 

"riici-a Must Be a Change" 

Said K.hn, "When the Garfield 
Club announced Us plan to dis- 
.iolve last December, it was made 
clear that such thought had been 
given long and serious considera- 
tion. We felt that it was more 
important to dissolve a social myth 
th.in to enjoy any social benefits 
which are derived from being 
labeled a 'large, strong, indepen- 
dent social unit.' 

"On January 31, the myth with 
all its fine labels still existed. 
Though the Trustees of the Col- 
lege certainly indicated that they 
were capable of making positive 
and progressive moves (deferred 
rushing and a new student union), 
they continued to neglect the most 
important social issue on campus 
— the fact that 20 percent of the 
college is rejected from the social 
system. 

"By dissolving, we have, I think, 
made things quite clear. There 
will be no more rationalization to 
the effect that everyone at Wil- 
liams has equal social status. I 
think that most of the non-afliili- 
ates feel that by such action as 
the Garfield Club took there will 
necessarily be no 'dying out' of 
the problem at hand; that every- 
one will realize that very soon 
there must be a change." 

Reform League Organizes 

To carry on action for total 
rushing, former club men elected 
representatives to the non-affliliate 
committee of the proposed college- 
wide "League for Total Rushing". 



Wrestling . . . 

This afternoon the matmen v/ill 
seek their first victory as they 
travel to New London to take on 
the Coast Guard Academy. Be- 
cause of numerous injuries to key 
men. the Cadets boast only a 
single victory as against two de- 
feats to date. 

Since the Mariners have also 
bowed to Springfield, losing Satur- 
day 19-11. today's match like last 
year's, is a tossup. Last year the 
Coast Guard Academy downed 
Williams 17-13, in a thriller that 



was not decided until the final 
tend their winning skein to nine. bout. 




WE NEED 
3 WILLIAMS 
SENIORS

the potential to handle, after a reasonable period of 
training, positions of responsibility in our Banking,

Northern Trust Company offers you exceptional oppor- 
tunities. You will work with friendly people in modern, 
pleasant surroundings in the heart of Chicago, the

Williams College, both internally 
and in the eyes of outsiders. In 
improving tile system we improve 
Williams. We want and hope to 
get support from all who share 
our view that deferred rushing, 
although a step in the right direc- 
tion, does not solve the problem. 
Total rushing will do this, we feel.

cated removal of the rule pro- 
hibiting Juniors and seniors from

'Operation Tusk Force' Commmences Once Again 
In Mid-winter Hunt for Columbus' Sepulchre 



Safari to Lenox Site 
Finds Dirt, No Bones 

by Kay Kolligian '53 

During a dull, depressive and 
soundless afternoon, with the thick 
overhanging clouds oppressively 
low in the still, silent sky, a group 
of nine stalking, sinister figures 
advanced stealthily toward the 
dreary tract of land known as the 
House of Columbus (and that's 
not Christopher.) 

Even without such an Edgar 
Allen Poe emphasis, Columbus, 
loxodonta africana extraordinary, 
(translated: "helluva big eleph- 
ant") has again become a topic of 
conversation on the Williams cam- 
pus; and the whereabouts of his 
now century-old remains has 
brought about, with renewed in- 
terest and vigor, weekly "safaris" 
into the deep, dark, dank, dreary 
depths of the Lenox, Mass. estate 
where our loxodonta is supposedly 
burled. 

"Operation Tusk Force" 

For any who came late, "Oper' 
ation Tusk Force" began last sum- 




its a wonder that they will build 
anything more at Willis ms." 
Nothing Comparable 

Dean Scott went on to appeal to 
the self-respect of the freshmen, 
and added thst he had never seen 
such a condition at any other col- 
lege. "In eleven years at Yale", he 
recalled. "I never saw a beer can 
thrown out a window." 

Since the ground is frozen, there 
is no way that the Building and 
Grounds Crew can remove the 
beer cans and other refuse until 
"■pring. The Dean mentioned that 
for three years no solution for the 
problem has been found, but he 
could not conceive "how anybody 
would live in a garbage dump." 
Reflects on College 

In conclusion, the Dean express- 
ed his wish that the freshmen 
would live up to their first term 
scademic record in the other as- 
pects of college life. The condition 
of the quad, he remarked pointed- 
ly, "reflects both on the college 
and on the individuals involved". 

When asked to comment, a 
Freshman who wLshed to remain 
unidentified said. "In reference to 
the Dean's statement about Yale. 
I don't think a Yale Fieshman has 
the strength to throw a beer can 
out the window. I also thtak that 
the blame must be shared by the 
P-Ladies. who leave our rooms in 
such a condition that we have to 
get rid of the mess somehow." 



Saturday. Feb. 9—400 specta- 
tors at Lasell Pool watched a rare 
exhibition as Dick Martin, Rick 
Jeffrey, and Dave Byerly combined 
to set six records and tie two in 
pacing the Purple swimmers to a 
45-;!0 win over Springfield. 

Aftei- Ephs Byerly, Jeffrey, and 
Belash won easily over the visitors 
*n the opening medley i-elays. Don 
Jones suiged ahead of Springfield's 
Ycrzyk in the last few yards to 
cop the 220 yard free style. 
Martin Breaks College Marks 
Then in the 50 yard free-style 
Dick Martin, swimming in his 
first meet after a long period of 
ineligibility, broke the Williams 
and pool records by four tenths of 
a second and tied the New England 
record with his 23.2 effort. 

Martin continued his record- 
breaking, after Springfield's stand- 
out. Huddleston took the dive, by 
racing to a wm in the 100 yard 
free-style event in 51.1 seconds, a 
maik which broke the Williams 
and pool records of 53 seconds 
and tied the New England record. 
Byerly Smashes Own Record 
Dave Byerly broke his own re- 
cently-set Williams record in the 
200 yard back stroke as he edged 
Robbins of Sprmgfield. 

Co-Captain Rick Jeffrey turned 
in the fourth and final record- 
breakmg performance of the day 
in the 200 yard breast stroke, cut- 
ting the college record by 3.8 sec- 
onds, from 2.31 to 2:27.2. 

Jones Double Winner 
Don Jones and Joe Worthlngton 
clinched the Eph victory in the 
440 yard tree-style race by easily 
placing first and second respec- 
tively. The meet ended with the 
visitors winning the 400 yard free- 
style relay.

No Need For Quotas 

The Stalling Coininitti.'e voted on May 6, 1951 in luvoi ol the 
following nioiioii; "that the Committee . . . lecoiiimend tliat the 
Unuei'giin-Uiate (.A)uncil, toUowiug coiisultation with the Graduate 
Coiiiniitiee ot \\illuinis Soeiai Units, estal)lish trateiiiity quotas, 
sul)|eet to the appiosal ot the Collej^e Adininistiution. " We diere- 
toie urge tlie IjL,, the Giaduate Conunittee, and the College Ad- 
niinistraiioM to examine the eonsiderations. 

Because ot tlie tlissolution ot the Garfield Club, we feel it 
is fairly ohvious that there is no need to maintain the 80-20 fra- 
ternny men — nun-alliliates latio. This rule was instituted in the 
first place to guarantee a strong non-fraternity social group. 
Since there is no longer any such organization, there is also no 
longer any need for maiiitainuig its strength. All of the arguments 
voiced in the Sterling Committee report in favor of the present 
system are based on the existence of the Garfiekl Club. The Club's 
dissolution has caiiseil the bottom to drop out of all these argu- 
iiients. 

It has been argiu'd that any rela.xing of the present quota plan 
will eliminate the situation where the non-affiliate body is com- 
posed of both minority and iion-iniiiorit\' groups. If the quotas 
are abandoned along with the institution ' of deferred rushing, 
practically all the men in non-minority groups will be taken into 
fraternities. The implications of such a development are "alarm- 
ing to many in the Williams lamilv." If the present ((iiota svsteni 
is concealing present fraternity \ alue judgments, then it is better to 
drop the i|uotas and present a \alid picture of fraternity ])redjn- 
dices. Deferred rushing and the ri'ininal of t|uotas will hiruish 
concrete proof of the superficialitv and predjudice that govern 
the selection of fraternity men. 

Some on the Sterling Committee argued that the feeling o 
rejection becomes e\ en more acute as tin- number left out of frat 
eniities becomes smaller. The feeling is pretty acute now witi 
one in five left out. lint the maintenance of (piotas would stag 
nate any ino\e to increase gradually the number in houses iinti 
the number of unpledged men becomes so ridiculously small that 
liberal mintletl fraternities would invite these few to join This 
essentially is what has hajDiicned at Princeton and at Amherst 

For the fraternities' sake, it will be financially iiecessary to 
abandon the present 80-20 ratio. Despite what the college says 
It will do through the institution of Campus Business Manage- 
ment, all houses will have to take more members from the upper 
three classes to remain monetarily solvent. 

If any quotas are placed on individual houses to prevent any 
one fraternity from becoming <)\erwheliniugly large in contrast 
to the other 14 houses, we urge that each house be permitted to 
take more than one-fifteenth of each freshman class. This allow- 
ance wil permit a fov hous.'s to take tlu^ last few unim'ited men 
should there be only a very small number of them. This ad- 
mittedly, is bringing total rushing in through the back door', but 
the back door is a better entrance than nony-at all.

by Chuck Lange 

There is a danger thai the Williams eanipus will resolve it- 
sell inlu its traditional lethargy now that the Trustees ha\(' re- 
inlorci'd tlie sialus i|no ol the soeiai system. I.el us not delude 
onrscKes iiilo thinking that the sto|)-gap measures of deferred 
rushing and freslmiaii eating will pro\e acceptable to either the 
liaternities or non-alliliates. liach group has an equal stake in op- 
posing this comproinise. 

liie thssaiislaclion of die non-alliliati's is e\'incetl by llii' 
commendable dissolution of the Carfield Club. Its erstwhile iiiein- 
bers realize only too well that their feeling of rejection and 
second-rate citizenship will continue so long as the slinlent hiidy 
is fraternity-oriented rather than colk'ge-oriented. Under the new 
set-up, freslnnen will be more fralernilv-nhndeil than ever, since 
they will look lorwartl to (he tlay when the\' can enjo)' tlii' gra- 
cious li\ ing of the eating-clnb. 

I'iiiaiuUd I'hivut 

Fraternities, on the othi'r hand, are faced with the probli'iii 
of total rushing slipping in the back door. Many fraternity dining 
lialls are linanciallv in llii' retl alread\', anil with the elimination 
of a Ireshnian delegation, oM'rhead anil opriatiug e.vpensi's 
will loree the fraternities to accept the upper-class uon-alliliates 
to avoid baukruplcN'. It is naive to expect the college to lu-lp fra- 
ternities by iiieans of a CUM central warehini.se, when the pro- 
posed e.\pciulitures on the lu'W Student Union are woefully in- 
adequate. 

Connnnnal eating is the on!)' wa\' in which (he dilemmas ol 
both tile Iralernities and the non-allilia(es can be resoK'ed. The 
financial ad\antagc for the fraternities is ob\ ions, since it would 
eliminate the inevitable iusoKency with which they are con- 
fronted. 

('()//('gc ( '\iilij 

It is the social benefits ol communal ealing, however, that 
would justify such a radical mine, by gatlu'ring the college com-

and fired an amazing total of 
thirty shots at the Williams cage 
before the frame ended.

half. Amherst pulled away from 
^"il'iams in the third period to 
win 5S-45 in a Little Three en- 
•.■^unte!■ tonight before a capacity 
crowd at Lasell gym. The victory 
out the Lord Jefis in the lead in 
the Little Three race with a 1-0 
'•ecord ahead of Williams' 1-1 and 
Wes:Hyan'.s 0-1. 

Led by Howie Fisher's seven 
'luick points. Amherst moved out 
to a 41-34 advantage at the three- 
'luarter mark and was never head- 
ed. A bucket by Walt Greer and a 
free throw by Herb Smith brought 
Williams to 41-37 at the start of 
the final stanza, but Derry Ben- 
nett, the cool Amherst captain, 
broke the contest wide open with 
eight points in the last quarter. 
Bennett Leads Jeffs 

The dillerence between the two 
teams pro\ed to be the Amherst 
height advantage and the superb 
play of Bennett. The Sabrina lead- 
er was devastating under the de- 
fensive backboard, directed the 
semi-freeze put on by the Jeffs 
near the end of the third quarter, 
and clinched the victory with his 
scoring spree in the closing min- 
utes. 

The scoring of Fisher and Ster- 
ling Weaver and the floor game 
of Tony Mahar also helped to 
give Sabrina the edge. Bennett. 
Mahar. and Ken Wright played 
the entire 40 minutes for Amherst.

Outstanding for the Ephmen 
was Herb Smith who kept his 
team in the game by scoring 20 
points on a variety of fine shots 
from all over the court. The per- 
formance of Jack Hawkins in the 
fourth quarter also was notable 
as he harried the Amherst attack 
with Interceptions and inspired re- 
bounding. 

Williams started quickly and 
scored the first five points of the

Saturday, Feb. 9— After jump- 
ing off to an early first period lead, 
the Williams Freshman basketball 
te.-.m coasted to a 57-42 win over 
the R.P.I. Frosh. It was the ninth 
victory in a row for Bobby Coombs' 
men, who played without the serv- 
ices of their tall center Tony 
Moro, who was injured in prac- 
tice. 

Though hurt by Moro's absence, 
the frosh had little trouble in 
downing the shorter Rensselaer 
quintet. 

Fred Broderick was instrumental 
in puttting the Purple out in front 
as he scored nine quick points in 
the early minutes to help the Ephs 
take an 11-3 lead. 
Wilson, Henry Control Rebounds 

With Ron Wilson and J. C. 
Henry controlling the boards, Wil-

Engineers tried to get back into 
the game in the second half but 
heir efforts fell short and the 
Purple coasted in with the re-

Wednesday, Feb. 13 — Coach 
Chaffee and number one man Dick 
Squires, recently declared eligible, 
will lead the Williams squash 
team to Hanover for its match 
with the twice-defeated Dart- 
mouth nine today. Both teams 
have been defeated by Army by a 
score of 0-3. 

Dartmouth's first three, Addis, 
Fisher i.nd Foster are highly re- 
gai-ded, but the rest of the sqiuid 
is reputedly not loo impressive. 
Starting for Williams will be; 
Squires, Soapy Symington, Chris 
Ihoron. Captain Ray George, 
John Brownell, Tom Adkins, Todd 
Tillinghast, Doric Friend and Al 
Fulker.son, in that order.

fought Freshman squash match 
liere today. Williams defeated a 
Harvard aggregation by a score of 
8-1. with George Kesel, playin,; 
number one, losing the only 
match, to Paschal. 

The win was not nearly as easy 
for the Purple as the score in- 
dicates, since four of the yearlings 
were carried to five games.

Eastern Colleges 
Initiate Advanced 
Teacher Training 

Williams Joins Program 

For Study At Harvard 

School of Education 



Wednesday, Feb. 20 -Williams 
and 19 other Eastern colleges 
have joined with the Harvard 
Graduate School of Education, 
and the Harvard and Radcliffe 
Graduate School of Art.s and Sci- 
ences to inaugurate a cooperative 
proRram to train elementary and 
secondary school teachers. The 
purpose of this pronram is to in- 
crease the number of qualif ed 
college graduates enterlnu the 
public schools' teaching ranks. 

The Fund for the Advancement 
of Education Is supportinti the 
program with $78,000 annually 
for three years, $45,000 tor fellow- 
ships, and $33,000 to support the 
instruction and administration of 
the plan. 

President James B. Conant of 
Harvard ha.s announced that fel- 
lowships will be granted to grad- 
uates of the twenty colleges in 
the program. The graduates will 
spend a year at Harvard investi- 
gating the ways of relating the 
liberal arts program with grad- 
uate study in education while 
serving apprenticeships in teach- 
ing. 



Noljle and Dr. E. J. Couehlin. a 
local practitioner, are leading the 
course. 

Tlie opening lecture was given at 
9 p. m. last night in the SI. John's 
parish house, but .iuniors and 
seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six Tuesday night meetings, 
terminating the week before Eas- 
ter recess. 

InformalUy Stres.scd 

Allhougli the course has been a 
Williams standby since the war, 
this year's series hopes to attract 
more participants by emphasizing 
a greater degree of informality

exact whereabouts of the 12 thou-

for one-hundred years. 

After extensive research Into

Included in the chase for the ijrize

the proverbial "bull-moose", dig-

Eastern Colleges 
Initiate Advanced 
Teacher Training 

Williams Joins Program 

For Study At Harvard 

School of Education 



Wednesday. Feb. 20— Williams 
and 19 other Eastern colleges 
have joined with the Harvard 
Graduate School of Education, 
and the Harvard and Badcliftc 
Graduate School of Arts and Sci- 
ences to Inaugurate a cooperative 
program to train elementary and 
secondary school teachers. The 
purpose of this program is to in- 
crease the number of qualified 
college graduates entering the 
public .schools' teaching ranks. 

The Fund for the Advancement 
of Education is supporting the 
program with $78,000 annually 
for three years, $45,000 for fellow- 
ships, and $33,000 to support the 
Instruction and administration of 
the plan. 

President James B. Conant of 
Harvard has announced that fel- 
lowships will be granted to grad- 
uates of the twenty colleges in 
the program. The graduates will 
spend a year at Harvard investi- 
gatftig the ways of relating the 
liberal arts program with grad- 
uate study in education while 
serving apprenticeships in teach- 
ing. ' 



Noblo and Dr. E. J. Coughlin, a 
local practitioner, are leading the 
course. 

Tlie opening lecture was given at 
9 p. m. Ia.st night in the St. John's 
palish house, but juniors and 
seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six Tuesday night meetings, 
terminating the week before Eas- 
ter recess. 

Informality Stressed 

Although the course has been a 
Williams standby since the war, 
this year's series hopes to attract 
more participants by emphasizing 
a greater degree of informality 
and a broader view of the subject. 

Dr. Noble is handling the moral 
and spiritual aspects, while Dr. 
Coughlin is lecturing on the phy- 
sical side of the marriage. The 
first part of the meeting is a 
half hour talk by either Dr. Noble 
or Dr. Coughlin. while the remain- 
der is devoted to an open discus- 
sion, with the added attraction 
of refreshments. 

Proposed Topics 

Among the topics suggested last 
Wednesday by the house repre- 
sentatives are the questions ot 
preparation for marriage, sexual 
behavior before and after mar- 
riage, and psychological adjust- 
ments to the marital status. 

On the physiological side, it 
was proposed that Dr. Coughlin 
consider in his talks such problems 
as child training and the relation- 
ship of sexual behaviour to parent- 
hood.

muzzle under the edge of a rug. 
One shot — a "short" shell — 
had been tired from it. 

Officials completed their on-the 
scene investigation by 8:30 last 
night, but continued to work un-

John Hewett Qualifies for Coveted 
American Alpine Club Membership 



Wednesday, Feb. 20— John He- 
wett '53, recently elected to the 
American Alpine Club, became 
the youngest alpinist in the his- 
tory of the organization to receive 
such an honor. Despite his youth, 
Hewett has a long and impressive 
list of ascents to merit his mem- 
bership. 

The Club Itself is a select or- 
ganization of 406 mountain climb- 
ers, the vast majority of whom 
are residents ot the United States. 
It maintains headquarters in New 
York City and supplies its mem- 
bers with much climbing infor- 
mation, some in its regular pub- 
lications and some on request. 
Recommend and Approval 

In order to qualify for member- 
ship in the American Alpine Club, 
an applicant must have sufficient 



climbing experience, be recom- 
mended by at least two members, 
and approved by the Club as a 
whole. 

Hewett was nominated for mem- 
bership by Adams Carter, his close 
friend and climbing companion. 
He first met Carter when the 
latter became a teacher at Milton 
Academy, Hewett's prep school. It 
was under Carter's influence that 
John became an avid and expert 
climber. 

As a member and later president 
of the Milton Academy Moun- 
taineering Club. John gained his 
first actual climbing experience. 
He was active in the organization 
when Carter Joined the Milton 
faculty, and the two have led 
climbing groups on trips to the 
west for the past two jrears.

Saturday, Feb. 16— Attracting 
three of the top ski teams in the 
country, the Williams Winter Car- 
nival scorned the snowless wastes 
of Williamstown and took to the 
slopes of Mount Greylock and 
Goodell Hollow. The best in ski 
thrills awaited the comparatively 
few spectators who braved the 
cold and the climb to watch the 
events. The team title finally 
went to Mlddlebury after a nip 
and tuck battle with Dartmouth. 
The winner's captain, Dick Ire- 
land, won Saturday's jumping to 
give his team the margin of vic- 
tory over the Indians — 587.63 
to 584.33. Ireland, who also plac- 
ed sixth in the downhill and 
seventh in the slalom, received the 
coveted Williams Skimeister Tro- 
PUy for the best individual show- 
mB over the two day competition. 
Collins Stars 
Williams repeated and possibly 
exceeded its tlflne showing at the 
Dartmouth Carnival last week, 
lops 01 the class B teams, the 
Ephmen scored heavily in the 
downhill, placing third, ahead of 
such powerful competitors as New 
Hampshire and Bowdoin. 

Ned Collins '52 was the indivi- 
dual star for the host team. He 
placed seventh in the downhill, 
fourteenth in the slalom, and 
ninth in the jumping. Stu Chase 
and Pete Callahan in the slalom 
and Doug Wilson, Bob Tucker, and 
Joe Foote in the cross country 
were also outstanding for the 
Ephs. 

Burden Combined Winner 
Dnug Burden of Mlddlebury, 
winner of both the downhill and 
the slalom the previous week, was 
forced to be content with seconds 
this time, bowing to Klrby of 
Dartmouth in the former and to 
team-mate Gale Shaw in the lat- 
ter. Burden and Shaw were one- 
two in the Alpine combined. 

After falling behind Mlddlebury 
in Friday's events. Dartmouth 
staged a strong comeback in the 
Nordic events on Saturday. Trem- 
blay, Agan. and Drury of the In- 
dians took the first three places 
in the Nordic combined, but the 
Blue and White stayed close e- 
nough for Ireland's winning jump 
to provide the margin ot victory.

Faculty Club Dance 
Attracts Large Crowd 

Saturday Feb. IB— While the 
rest of the campus was in the 
middle of the Winter Carnival 
festivities, the faculty enter- 
tained them.selves at the Facul- 
ty Club dance which ran from 
nine last night until one o'clock 
this morning. Total attendance 
was estimated at 60 persons by 
Richard O. Rouse, entertain- 
ment committee chairman in 
charge of the dance. 

For the sake of contrast to 
the sub-zero weather that had 
prevailed for the last few days, 
the profs planned their deco- 
rations around a spring motif. 
A large and potent punchbowl 
provided a continual fountain 
of enjoyment, as the professors 
and their wives danced to the

Breakfast in Bed 



Still jubilant over the success of his first 
private showing, garrulous, bandy-legged painter 
Robert Seaman (pronounced Rowbear Seemawi 
summed his triumph with simple modesty: "I 
pick up where Rubens left off and carry things 
much further." The critics, who are still dribbling 
over Seaman's colossal canvas. "Breakfast in 
Bed", were inclined to agree. Said one: "He 
makes the hard line quiver with life; he can 
plunge with equal, ease into the voluptuous depth 
of the Baroque or the flat surfaces of modern- 
ism." 



Seaman's artistic pose is as unconventional 
as much of his work. Explaining his unorthodox 
gymnastics before the canvas, the energetic ar- 
tist said slyly, "I paint what I feel. It takes 
strength." Large, knobby hands, in contrast to 
the long and delicate fingers usually a.ssociated 
with his vocation corroborated the artist's state- 
ment. Aware that the reporter was looking at his 
hands, Seaman gestured toward a pile of house- 
painter's brushes, and remarked with pride that 
he had long ago rejected small bristles. 

Wlien told that LEER was planning an ar-

the inner studio, the Leer interviewer sat by as 
Seaman, with quick, powerful strokes, dipped his 
brush into another masterpiece. His feverish 
activity cea.sed as .suddenly as it had begun, and 
Seaman announced with a sigh that the artistic 
urge had left him. Turning, the master painter

spired liis sensuous 5 x 12 feet "Breakfast in

"I like apples. They're Rood to eat, so I started 
to paint an apple and one thing led to another." 
"The Discussion on MarriaRe", while con- 
taining obvious Freudian overtones (note the 
stairs which dominate the center of the picture), 
still puzzles local experts, who are uable to un- 
derstand the comparison between th<- cold fish 



and the female form. Seaman's somewhat warp- 
ed imagination produced a startling and original 
subject in a style reminiscent of George Braque's 
overlapping, transparent planes. 

Drawing from the Bible for the subject of 
his provocative surrealistic work, "The Burning 
Bush", the artist imparts his passion for life to 
the famous phrase from Ecclesiastes. He has cap- 
tured the awe with which man viewed the mira- 



cle of the burning bush, and the very flames 
seem to shimmy like a belly-dancer before the 
observer.

presentation of Boccaccio's "Decameron,"

three of the top ski teams in the 
counuy, the Williams Winter Car- 
nival scorned the snowless wastes 
of Williamstown and took to the 
slopes of Mount Greylock and

cold and the climb to watch the 
events. The team title finally 
went to Middlebury after a nip 
and tuck battle with Dartmouth. 
Tile winner's captain. Dick Ire- 
land, won Saturday's jumping to

After extensive research into

three of tne top ski teams in the 
country, the Williams Winter Car- 
nival scorned the snowless wastes 
of Williamstown and took to the 
slopes of Mount Greylock and 
Goodell Hollow. The best in ski 
thrills awaited the comparatively 
few spectators who braved the 
cold and the climb to watch the 
events. The team title finally 
went to Middlebury after a nip 
and tuck battle with Dartmouth. 
The winner's captain, Dick Ire- 
land, won Saturday's jumping to 
give his team the margin of vic- 
tory over the Indians — 587.63 
to 584.33. Ireland, who also plac- 
ed sixth in the downhill and 
seventh in the slalom, received the 
coveted Williams Skimeister Tro- 
phy for the best individual show- 
ing over the two day competition.

exceeded its nflne showing at the 
Dartmouth Carnival last week, 
lops ol the class B teams, the 
Ephmen scored heavily in the 
downhill, placing third, ahead of 
such powerful competitors as New 
Humpshire and Bowdoin. 

Ned Collins '52 was the indivi- 
dual star for the host team. He 
placed seventh in the downhill, 
fourteenth in the slalom, and 
ninth in the jumping. Stu Chase 
and Pete Callahan in the slalom 
and Doug Wilson. Bob Tucker, and 
Joe Foote in the cross country 
were also outstanding for the

Burden Combined Winner 
Doug Burden of Middlebury,

the slalom the pievious week, was 
foi-ced to be content with seconds 
this time, bowing to Klrby of 
Dartmouth in the former and to 
team-mate Gale Shaw in the lat- 
ter. Burden and Shaw were one- 
two in the Alpine combined. 

After falling behind Middlebury 
in Friday's events, Dartmouth 
staged a strong comeback in the 
Nordic events on Saturday. Trem- 
blay, Agan, and Drury of the In- 
dians took the first three places 
in the Nordic combined, but the 
Blue and White stayed close e-

John Hewett Qualifies for Coveted 
American Alpine Club Membership 



Wednesday, Feb. 20 — John He- 
wett '53. recently elected lo the 
American Alpine Club, became 
the youngest alpinist in the his- 
tory of the organization to receive 
such an honor. Despite his youth. 
Hewett has a long and impressive 
list of ascents to merit his mem- 
bership. 

The Club itself is a select or- 
ganization of 406 mountain climb- 
ers, the vast ma.iorily of whom 
are residents of the United States. 
It maintains headquarters in New 
York City and supplies lis mem- 
bers with much climbing infor- 
mation, some in its regular pub- 
lications and .some on request. 
RecommonH and Approval 

In order to qualify for membcr- 
,ship in the American Alpine Club, 
an applicant must have sufficient 



climbing experience, be recom- 
mended by at least two members, 
and appioved by the Club as a 
whole. 

Hewett was nominated for mem- 
bership by Adams Carter, his close 
friend and climbing companion. 
He first met Carter when the 
latter became a teacher at Milton 
Academy, Hewett's prep .school. It 
was under Carter's influence that 
John became an avid and expert 
climber. 

As a member and later president 
of the Milton Academy Moun- 
taineering Club. John gained his 
first actual climbing experience. 
He was active in the organization 
when Carter .tolned the Milton 
faculty, and the two have led 
climbing groups on trips to the 
west for the past two I'ears.

The Childhood of Charley Keller 



Cliarley Keller, aullior. athlete, gourmet, and 
stiitesman. today stands as the biggest unknown 
in the confusion of pre-convention politics. 
"Choose Charley" clubs spring up daily all over 
the country as enthusiastic young political ama- 
teurs, in a common hunger for a "solid man" 
in the White Hou.se, look more and more to 
Charley. Cynical politicos, ward heelers, and 
committee men are looking and a.sking questions. 
Said Ohio's Bob Taft, another candidate, "What 
Is this man? How docs he stand? Can he run?" 



This week LEER takes a look at Keller the 
man. in an attempt to show how his life back- 
ground molded his present stature. 

Charley is playing coy. as support for his 
campaign begins to gain momentum. Last week 
in Paris as International Food Surplus Direc- 
tor. Charley tossed a terse "no comment" to 
reporters who cornered him outside his favorite 
French pastry shop. 

As a white-bucked undergraduate at Yale. 
Charley first showed the executive ability which 



his supporters feel make him a natural for the 
White House. New Haven remembers Charley 
as the man who put Skull and Bones on its 
feet. As Club treasurer during his senior year, 
he cut food costs to the bone by purchasing 
unbelievably cheap supplies from new and un- 
tried .sources. Said Charley in later years, laugh- 
ing heartily over his college days. "It's an old 
trick I learned as a kid when my candy allow- 
ance ran low." <See Picture'

the crash of '29, Charley invested his meager

a meteoric rise to military fame as a blimp pilot

Carnival Attracts 400 

Well iced mountains and martinis have 
lured 400 recorded females to Williams for this 
famous winter weekend. The LEER returns miss- 
ed the magic 500, but many non-affiUates are 
entertaining unpubliclzed lovelies, due to the 
mass boycotting of the Old Garfield Club list. 

A traditional favorite, Smith again leads 
the pack with sixty-eight entries in a fast heat. 
For the first time since Helen Hokinson, one de- 
fiant fraternity, the callous Kaps, managed to 
shut out the Northampton girls. A genteel score 
and a half of Vassar delegates nudged aside 
Holyoke for second place honors, as South Had- 
ley sent a scant twenty-five. Skidmore and 
Wellesley made faint bids for fame with twelve 
and nine offers i-espectlvely while distant North- 
western sent six. 

Among the fraternities the well bred Saints 
took the lead in lust with thirty-four contribut- 
ing brethren. Hot on their necks were the Alpha 
Dclts inviting thirty-three visitors. The Phi Delts, 
Slgs, and Zetes drew thirty-one per house.

Skiers' Paradise 



Long known as a spectacular ski center, Wil-

thousands to its silky snow slopes. Nestled in

splendor to the fortunate tourist. The snow never 
melts. 

As the crowds stream down from the majestic 
Taconic Trail and along lovely old route seven 
into "the village beautiful" they are treated to 
the sight of silvery human snow birds plum- 
meting down the sheer slopes of Sheep Hill. One 
of the nation's most fabulous ski areas, the 
slope is constantly thronged with cold weather 
.sports enthusiasts from the four corners of the 
elobe. 

At nearby Cole Field Rink, the world-re- 
knowned Williams hockey team may be seen 
practicing at almost any hour of the day or 
night under the expert tutelage of their auburn-

Faculty Club Dance 
Attracts Large Crowd 

Saturday Feb. 16 — While the 
rest of the campus was in the 
middle of the Winter Carnival 
festivities, the faculty enter- 
tained themselves at the Facul- 
ty Club dance which ran from 
nine last night until one o'clock 
this morning. Total attendance 
was estimated at 60 persons by 
Richard O. Rouse, entertain- 
ment committee chairman In 
charge of the dance. 

For the sake of contrast to 
the sub-zero weather that had 
prevailed for the last few days, 
the profs planned their deco- 
rations around a spring motif. 
A large and potent punchl)owl 
provided a continual fountain 
of enjoyment, as the professors 
and their wives danced to the 
music of Al Trudel and his

a 



It is not ea.sy to be a Promisiiii; Youni; Ac- 
tor. The well known critic Brooks Barnes lia.s 
I'volved the now famous "three point index of 
Success" which briefly summarizes some of tlie 
<iualilies which a man must have. To fill the 
bill he must first have all the qualities of an 
Air Corps Staff Officer. That is he must be "le- 
al" to the verge of fanatici.sm "honest" to the 
cdBC of hypocrisy, ".sympathetically undeistand- 
ini!" to the brink of mawkishness. and "willinn 
to subordinate himself" to the very border of 
oblivion. Secondly, he must be an expert in many 
fields, including art, music, geophysics, physio- 
botony, neuro-siuuery. palcospastoloiiy. and ap- 
plied seismology. Tliirdly. for audience i ppeal 
and publicity purposes, he must be loothily, sexy, 
a bit unbalanced, athletic, da-shing and a bit 
vil. .lolui Stone fills all these leouircment.s. 



He has been forged out of the steel from which 
all our greatest actors, such men as Claude Jar- 
mon Jr. and Randolph Scott, have come. 

Stone was born at a young age, of average 
l)arents. From birth he was esrmarked for the 
.s.age. He was the only baby on his block with 
sparkling blue eyes, an inherent knowledge of 
' oophysics, and pencil-line wax mustache. At 
the age of two he gave the first indications that 
h s person lily was .suitable for a stage career 
when with diabolical cunning he lured his 
cr ppled maiden aunt to the head of the cellar 
stairs, and then hurled her to her death in the 
bi'sL Richard Widmark style. 

At the age of four, John became an adven- 
turer, developing the characteristics of a Pro- 
mising young actor through extensive travel. As 
'v't' ng a man carrying on in the best tradi- 




A lover of all animals, John plays after rehearsal

Eastern Colleges 
Initiate Advanced 
Teacher Training 

Williams Joins Program 

For Study At Harvard 

School of Education 



Wednesday. Feb. 20-Williams 
and 19 other Eastern colleges 
have ioined with the Harvard 
Graduate School of Education, 
and the Harvard and Badcllffe 
Graduate School of Arts and Sci- 
ences to inaugurate a cooperative 
program to train elementary and 
secondary .school teachers. The 
purpose of this program i.s to in- 
crease the number of qualified 
college graduates entering the 
public schools' teaching ranks. 

The Fund for the Advancement 
of Education is supporting the 
program with $78,000 annually 
for three years, $45,000 for fellow- 
ships, and $33,000 to support the 
Instruction and administration of 
the plan. 

President James B. Conant of 
Harvard has announced that fel- 
lowships will be granted to grad- 
uates of the twenty colleges in 
the program. The graduates will 
spend a year at Harvard investl- 
gatJhg the ways of lelating the 
liberal arts program with grad- 
uate study in education while 
serving apprentlce.shlps in teach- 
ing. 



Noble and Dr. E. J. Coughlin. a 
local practitioner, are leading the 
(■nurse. 

The opening lecture was given at 
!) p. m. last night in the St. John's 
parish house, but juniors and 
seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six Tuesday night meetings, 
terminating the week before Eas- 
ter recess. 

Informality Stres.sed 

Althougli the course has been a 
Williams standby since the war, 
this year's series hopes to attract 
more participants by emphasizing 
a greater degree of informality 
and a broader view of the subject. 

Dr. Noble is handling the moral 
and spiritual aspects, while Dr. 
Coughlin is lecturing on the phy- 
sical side of the marriage. The 
first part of the meeting is a 
half hour talk by either Dr. Noble 
or Dr. Coughlin, while the remain- 
der is devoted to an open discus- 
sion, with the added attraction 
of lefreshments. 

Proposed Topics 

Among the topics suggested last 
Wednesday by the house repre- 
sentatives are the questions of 
preparation for marriage, .sexual 
behavior before and after mar- 
riage, and psychological adju-st- 
ments to the marital status. 

On the physiological side, it 
was proposed that Dr. Coughlin 
consider in his talks such problems 
as child training and the relation- 
ship of sexual behaviour to parent- 
hood.

program with $78,000 annually 
for three years. $45,000 for fellow- 
ships, and $33,000 to .support the 
instruction and administration of 
the plan.

lowships will be granted to grad- 
uates of the twenty colleges in

IJarish house, but juniors and 
.seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six IXiesday night meetings,

ter recess. 

Informality .Stressed 

Altlioimli the course has been a 
Williams standby since the war. 
this year's series hopes to attract 
more particiiJants by emiihasizing 
a greater degree of informality 
and a broader view of the sub.iecl. 

Dr. Noble is handling tile moral 
and spiritual asiJects. while Dr. 
Coughlin is lecturing on the phy- 
sical side of the marriage. The 
first part of the meeting is a 
half hour talk by either Dr. Noble 
or Dr. Coughlin. while the remain- 
der is devoted to an open di.scus- 
sioii. with the added attraction 
of refreshments. 

Proposed Topics 

Among the topics suggested last 
Wednesday by the house repre- 
sentatives arc the questions of 
preparation for marriage, sexual 
behavior before and after mar- 
riage, and psychological ad.iu.sl- 
mcnts to the marital status. 

On the ph,v,sioloRlcal side, it 
was proposed that Dr. Coughlin 
consider in his talks such problems 
as child training and the relation- 
.ship of sexual behaviour to parent- 
hood .

After extensive research into

About a week ago, with the balm

of experts, and the stamina of 
the proverbial "bull-moose", dic-

got LOST! All recollections of the 
exact whereabouts of the 12 thou- 
.'and pound beast was forgotten - 
for one-hundred yeare. 

After extensive research into 
m- ny yellowed documents, legends 
old wives' tales, etc. combined with 
a few dubious eye-witness reports 
Olid mystical prophesies, "Opera- 
tion Tusk Force" got underway. 
Included in the chase for the prize 
loxodonta (worth some $25.00 to 
the Williams Record) were var- 
ious groups from Williams. "I feel 
like a 'bull-moose' " exclaimed one 
of many itinerants on the first of 
the Teddy Roosevelt-type big game 
hunts. 

About a week ago, with the balm 
of Spring upon us. "Operation 
T-F" was resumed. With the .skill 
of experts, and the stamina of 
the proverbial "bull-moose", dig- 
ging commenced. Picks and shov- 
els hit the semi-frozen turf. Pro- 
fuse oaths struck the air! And 
four hours later, six feet of sod 
had been unearthed — but still no 
signs of the pet loxodonta . . . And 
the shades of evening wore on the 
dank earth was replaced, and for 
the time being, at least, the House 
of Columbus remained undisturbed 
by mortal hands.

Eastern Colleges 
Initiate Advanced 
Teacher Training 

Williams Joins Program 

For Study At Harvard 

School of Education 



Wednesday, Feb. 20— Williams 
and 19 other Eastern colleges 
have joined with the Harvard 
Graduate School of Education, 
and the Harvard and Radcliffe 
Graduate School of Arts and Sci- 
ences to Inaugurate a cooperative 
program to train elementary and 
secondary school teachers. The 
purpose of this program is to in- 
crease the number of qualified 
college graduates entering the 
public .schools' teaching ranks. 

The Fund for the Advancement 
of Education Is supportlnK the 
program with $78,000 annually 
for three years, $45,000 tor fellow- 
ships, and $33,000 to support the 
instruction and administration of 
the plan. 

President James B. Conant of 
Harvard has announced that fel- 
lowships will be granted to grad- 
uates of the twenty colleges in 
the program. The graduates will 
■■ipend a year at Harvard investi- 
gatftig the ways of relating the 
liberal arts program with grad- 
uate study In education while 
serving apprenticeships in teach- 
ing. 



Noble and Dr. E. J. Coughlin. a 
local practitioner, are leading the 
course. 

The opening lecture was given at 
9 p. m. last night in the St. John's 
parish hou.se, but juniors and 
.seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six Tuesday niuht mectinus, 
terminalinK the week before Eas- 
ter recess. 

Informality Stressed 

AllhouBh the coui'.se has been a 
Williams standby since the war, 
this year's .sei'ies hopes to attract 
more participants by emphasizing 
a greater degree of informality 
and a broader view of the subject. 

Dr. Noble is handling the moral 
and spiritual aspects, while Dr. 
Coughlin is lecturing on the phy- 
sical side of the marriage. The 
first part of the meeting is a 
half hour talk by either Dr. Noble 
or Dr. Coughlin. while the remain- 
der' is devoted to an open discus- 
sion, with the added attraction 
of refreshments. 

Proposed Topics 

Among the topics suggested last 
Wednesday by the house repie- 
sentatives are the questions of 
preparation for marriage, sexual 
behavior before and after mar- 
riage. and psychological adjust- 
ments to the marital status. 

On the physiological side, it 
was proposed that Dr. Coughlin 
consider in his talks such problems 
as child training and the relation- 
ship of sexual behaviour to parent- 
hood.

"Pool Room" Favorite 

Perhaps the most popular paint- 
ing on display is the work of an 
American Negro, Jacob Lawrence. 
His "Pool Room" is drawn in such 
great detail that it even show's

curling up from the edge of a pool 
table. 

Tile scenes vary from a large.

Uifle Found 

Investigators found the body ly- 
ing face upward on a couch in the 
;oom. Some four feet away, be- 
neatli a double-decker bed. lay a 
'jolt action .22 caliber rifle, its 
muzzle under the edge of a rug. 
One shot — a "short" shell — 
had been fii-ed from it. 

Officials completed their on-the 
scene investigation by 8:30 last 
night, but continued to work un- 
til early this morning at a Spring 
Street funeral home. 



John Hewett Qualifies for Coveted 
American Alpine Club Membership 



23 i last night by 

pector Richard 

2ld and noted 

School pathol- 

Dea. 

tbuiiiaiiic, it member of Beta 

Theta Pi. was the son of Mr. and 

Mrs. Millard Romaine of 3726 

Davenant Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Wednesday, Feb. 20 — John He- 
wett '53, recently elected to the 
American Alpine Club, became 
the youngest alpinist in the his- 
tory of the organization to receive 
such an honor. Despite his youth, 
Hewett has a long and impressive 
list of ascents to merit his mem- 
bei'ship. 

The Club itself is a select or- 
ganization of 406 mountain climb- 
ers, the vast majority of whom 
are residents of the United States. 
It maintains headquarteis in New 
York City and supplies its mem- 
bers with much climbing Infor- 
mation, some in its regular pub- 
lications and some on request. 

Recommend and Approval 

In order to qualify for member- 
ship in the American Alpine Club, 
an applicant must have sufficient 



climbing experience, be recom- 
mended by at least two members, 
and approved by the Club as a 
whole. 

Hewett was nominated for mem- 
ber.ship by Adams Carter, his close 
friend and climbing companion. 
He fiist met Carter when the 
latter became a teacher at Milton 
Academy, Hewett's prep school. It 
was under Carter's influence that 
John became an avid and expert 
climber. 

As a member and later president 
of the Milton Academy Moun- 
tnineerlng Club, John gained his 
fir.st actual climbing experience. 
He was active in the organization 
when Carter joined the Milton 
faculty, and the two have led 
climbing groups on trips to the 
west foi' the past two years.

STONE, LATHROP EXCEL 
IN SHAW'S "PYGMALION" 

♦ /(// .\itliiir Lctill. Jr. ,52 

We all had a "bloocly" hikkI tiiiiu last week at tlie AMT pio- 
diic'tioii of Sliaw's •PyK'nalioii '. A hcMiililullv-balaiiced and well- 
rounded east presented lor the eaniival erowd a divertinjr spectaele 
ol a eockney llowei-f^irl who develops in six months into an almost 
pirteet lady of lashion through the aj^eney of a skilled phonetician 
who has taken her in hand. 

'Hiis is not one of Shaw's best plays-iior, by a Ion;; shot, one 
of his easiest to prodnee. II a p\ay has depth and signifieance, it 
should survive outside, as well as in the theatre. Tragedy or eoin- 
cdv, lantasy or laree, it should stay with us from }o<)tli);hts to

stand criticism, convince us that its allegiance is to life. JlilariousI 
ellective in the theatre, "Pygmalion" may be said to expire \vi 
the tenancy ol our .seats. 

Superb Cast q- 

Such a play put-s the burden of 
production squarely on the shoul- 
ders of the cast. It cannot stand 
by iUself. but must depend entirely 
upon the oriKlnality and resource- 
fulne.ss of the players. Probably 
I'VKmalion ought to be rehearsed 
by a company of well-blended 
Kcniuses for a year before the cur- 
lam Is raised. But our theatre is 
not orsanlzed for such heroic en- 
terprises. What we got at the AMT 
lasi week was not perfect, but it 
was original, inspired at times, 
and extremely hlKh-minded — 
all in all, one of the most accomp- 
lished Jobs seen around here for 
many a day. 

Where there is so much sub- 
stance I much of 11 unrefined and 
aimless, to be sure i the manner of 
the performance Is a thing of 
lirsi, importance. Under the direc- 
iion of William Martin, the man- 
ner of this one was unapproach- 
able. It's always a delight to .see 
such a degree of technical pro- 
ficiency on an amateur stage. 
Stone Stars 

The part of Professor Hlggins, 
who takes up the flower girl, tea- 
ches her to talk like a duchess, 
passes her in society, and forgets 
meanwhile that she is a human 
being, is at best, hard enough. The 
hero may all too readily appear to 
be oppressive, selfish, and unkind. 
John Stone avoided this inaccu- 
rate interpretation by portraying 
Higgins as a sort of childlike gen- 
ius. And it is this quality In Hig- 
gins that makes him appear will- 
ful, stubborn, and forgetful of o- 
Ihers.

have joined with the Harvard 
Graduate School of Education, 
and the Harvard and Radcllffe 
Graduate School of Arts and Sci- 
ences to Inaugurate a cooperative 
program to trato elementary and 
secondary school teachers. The 
purpose of this program is to in- 
crease the number of qualified

Dr. Noble Directs 
Marriage Course 

Minister, Physician Give 
Lectures, Guide Talks 



Wednesday. Feb. 20— The Rev- 
erend A. Grant Noble met with 
representatives of the campus 
fraternities last Wednesday to 
decide what topics are to be dis- 
cu.ssed in the foith-coming series 
ci lectures on marriage. Doctor 
Noble and Dr. E. J. Coughlin, a 
local practitioner, are leading the 
course. 

The opening lecture was given at 
9 p. m. last night in the St. John's 
parish house, but juniors and 
seniors may still enroll. There will 
be six Tuesday night meeting.s. 
terminating the week before Eas- 
ter recess. 

Informality Stressed 

Although the cour.se has been a 
Williams standby since the war, 
this year's series hopes to attract 
more participants by emphasizing 
a greater degree of informality 
and a broader view of the subject. 

Dr. Noble is handling the moral 
and spiritual aspects, while Dr. 
Coughlin is lecturing on the phy- 
sical side of the marriage. The 
first part of the meeting is a 
half hour talk by either Dr. Noble 
or Dr. Coughlin. while the remain- 
der is devoted to an open discus- 
sion, with the added attraction 
of refreshments. 

Proposed Topics 

Among the topics suggested last 
Wednesday by the house repre- 
sentatives are the questions of 
preparation for marriage, .sexual 
behavior before and after mar- 
riage, and psychological adjust- 
ments to the marital status. 

On the physiological side, it 
was proposed that Dr. Coughlin 
consider In his talks such problems 
as child training and the relation- 
ship of sexual behaviour to parent- 
hood.

of 400 dates invading Williams- 
Lown. this weekend, the WOC 
spjnsoi-ed Winter Carnival ran 
smoothly despite the weather, 
back of snow dissolved all snow 
•sculpture plans, but enough was 
found for a successful ski meet. 

The bands of Billy Butterfield 
and 1'eddy Wilson took the spot- 
light at the Friday night dance 
and the coronation of the Carni- 
val Queen climaxed the evening. 
Saint Anthony's candidate, Anne 
Williams of Connecticut College, 
reigned supreme. 

Concert, Play 

After a day at the ski meet and 
the usual round of house cocktail 
parties. Williams men and their 
dates were offered varied enter- 
tainment on Saturday evenmg. A 
jazz concert by Peanuts Hucko 
and his outfit, and the AMT pro- 
duction of Shaw's "Pygmalion" 
oulii played to capacity crowds. 

Dances at the Beta. Phi Delt, 
Delta Phi, Theta Delt, AD and 
daint houses attracted many 
couples and stags later in the 
evening. Sunday brought the 
grand finale with milk punch 
parlies and jazz bands holding 
lorth at many fraternities.

Pictures of City Life 

Alumni Invited to Attend 
Special Sunday Exhibit 

Thur.sday. Feb. 14 — "The City." 
an exhibition of paintings depict- 
ing various aspects of cities and 
city life, went on display at the 
Lawrence Art Museum today

artists from both Europe and A- 
merica present views of Paris and 
Prague, as well as cities in Italy 
and Russia. 

"Pool Room" Favorite 

Perhaps the most popular pamt- 
ing on display is the work of an 
American Negro, Jacob Lawrence. 
His "Pool Room " is drawn in such 
great detail that it even shows 
the smoke of a lighted cigarette 
curling up from the edge of a pool 
table. 

The scenes vary from a large.

startiut; the term on the wroni; foot with the first week's assii;n- 
meuts neglected, the |iledires must Ix' interrnpled in the mitUlle of 
the stretch riirlit before hour e.\ams. The C^erman, (^hemistrv. and 
Physics Deiiartments usually scbediile two liom- tests and a half 
hour test sometime durinjr each ternt. Tliis year's Hell Week cuts 
into the middle of the first of diese e.vajniiiations. Rightly eiioui;h, 
tlie collei^e shortened the customary Hell Week to two da\'s so 
that tlie traditional liazinu; period is not only a token of its former 
self. Still, this token, eomini; as it does in the middle of some 
freshman e.\auis. is an e.\;uiiple of bad planning. In the future we 
liope that Hell Week will be seliednled at its proper time, that is. 
at the \'ery beyiuniiin of the second term. We also feel that the 
shortened period of hazint; sliotild be continued, since house 
unity must be built up diirini; the entire year and caiuiot be pro- 
duced in a week of scariim the freshmen. 

if house unity is the desired result, the fraternities should 
follow the example of Beta Tlieta Pi and institute a "Help We<'k' . 
The Betes this year are vohmti'erini; to aid Williamstown ami 
North .\dams welfare oriranizations. The uiemliers do this work on 
a voluntarv basis, and the entire tratcrnity is |)articipatiuf; in the 
venture. House unity and spirit should increase more with upper- 
classmen workiiii; with tlie pletln;es rather llian against them. Tliis 
example of the lieta house should Ih'couk' the nniyersal I'jractiee 
oil the Williams campus. If all the eneru;\ of Hell Week must be 
dirowii tiround, then put it to a useful task and j;et .something 
constrMcti\ (' rather than destructive accomplished. 

A little lia/inj; mav be ;i trood thiui;; lor some of the "wise" 
members of the pledge classes, but the wholesale i)svcholo,!i;ical 
unrest that is forced on almost all the uninitiated is uncalled for. 
Quoting from a letter to tlie lUiCORD, written by Junior C>lass 
President Robert Shorb dininir his freshman year, we a^ree that 
"the process ol surroundinir a pledi^e with a uuniber of stone- 
faced, ob-so-serious upperelassmen. who then turn on a diatribe of 
questions and criticism, probinjr for a weak point in the pledt;e's 
character is bad enouyli, but the extent to which it is carried is iar 
worse." This foolishness is the fol de rol tliat makes Hell Week 
so iufintile. Hazing may be all rii^lit as lonj^ as it is fairly comical, 
even to the freshmen who are forced to go throui;h with it, but 
these prying (|uestioiis are certainly niinecessary. Nobody can reg- 
ulate this malpractice except be officers of the individual houses. 
We feel that any disconcerting thrusts into the jiersonal matters 
of a pledge are entirely out of jilace in fraternity initiation.s. The 
initiators .should limit tlieir actions toward the freshmen to siieli 
humorous trivia as re(|uiring a pledge to collect a coin .s(|uashed by 
the Minuteman, but should not harass the freshmen about their 
personal lives. Resides, this sort of <|uestionning usually reveals the 
upperclas.smen who haye been frustrated in their attempts lor 
leadership and who are trying to raise their self-esteem through the 
use of this novel power. This is hardly a mature attitude for upper- 
classmen to take. This weekend, we hope that fraternity initiators 
will exeicise more sensiti\'e judgment in their efforts to emphasize 
the lowly state of the pledges. 



Letters to the Editor 



Alumni (Contributions 

Feb. 1-1, 1952 
To llif Editor ()/ thr Williaim HECOlil): 

It is with great regret that 1 am writing to advise you that, 
for the ijresent, at least, 1 do not feel that I can make any more 
eoutribntions to Williams. Aftei reading wiMi some eire the con- 
tents of the Report of the Committee On (.'ainpns Problems, 1 can- 
not help but beliex'c that money 1 may haye available for educa- 
tional institutions would be better used elsewhere 

1 ha\'e a profound alfectiou for Williams and a sense ot grati- 
tude for the education 1 recei\'ed there, but even those cannot 
oyercome m\' distaste for the principles embodied in tlitj Report. 

If there is one jirime issue in the world totlay (and lor the 
past two decades) it is that of totalitarianism \s. democracy, and 
except hir the physical threat posed by the totalitarian powers 
themselyes, 1 feel that the greatest danger to our way ol hie is 
from nndeiuoeratic practices in our own country. These nraeliees 
are being encouraged and fostered at Williams as a result ol this 
Report. 

1 realize that tlie situation is no different than it has been tor 
the past generation, at least, but the world has moyed on and the 
crisis has become greater-aiid vet Williams remains unmoved. 
When this position' is contrasted with the Irailblazing in human 
freedom at some colleges, and eyen with the more moderate, but 
refreshing, changes m'atle at Amherst and Princeton, 1 can only 
reach the conclusion that surely money can be put to better use 
than at Williams. 

I hiund particularly distasteful that section of the report read- 
ing: 'If the character of die fraternities were to be chaiigetl as 
liroposed, it is doidittui if such Alumni support would be forth- 
coming in a future jierioil of fin;incial stress . . ." That statement 1 
would be ashamed to show to anyone who might feel as 1 ilo, that 
the .American Dream is something more than a selling teclini(|iie to 
entice the innocent. 

It is with a real ))ang that 1 write this letter, but in view of 
the ileeision r<'aelied, I cannol do odierwise. 1 can only express 
the hope that those who fought against the reiiort will, at a later 
date, emerge as the domintmt group so that I can reinstate luv 
contiibntions to Williams. 

Very truly yours.

To llir Editor of the Willidiiis liECOHP: 

\s undergraduates we woiiltl like to add our protests to those 
of Newton P. Darlington, jr. IS. against the practice of locking the 
Chapel uhen it is not being used for services. We believe the 
Chapel should remain the oin' building on the eainpns where the 
undergraduate can go day or night for (|uiet devotion and medita- 
tion. 

If the college is truly concerned with the religious life of the 
student, it should iinmediateh' discontinue the ])ractiee of locking 
the Chapel and should jirovide lighting in the evening as well. 

Oilier than thi' need lor a |)lace lor student devotion and med- 
itation the College should eonsiiler the efleet which the presence of 
a locked Chapel must litive upon the visitors to the (x)llege and 
pidspeci i\ (' students and their parents. We .should open the Chapel 
up now.

THE NEAREST FLICK 



hil Bruce Palmer 
Wcdncsdaij (iml Tlwrsdai/ A dreadful series of events leads to the 
great Whiskey Panic of fortv-five on the island of Toddy in Scot- 
land in the English flick "Tight Little Island". Rravely the islanders 
rally and with the aid of a wrecked ship they restore the proper 
alcoholic ratio to their homeland. The ratio .seems to run .some- 
where around a (|uart a day per person. The dark forces of the 
revenue department seek to combat this on purely moral grounds. 
Needless to .say they meet firm, wily resistance. Love rears its 
head, just why it should is hard to say, hut it adds rather than 
detracts from the story. Joan Greenwood, who was in "Kind 
Hearts and Coronets", is the female involved. She plays hard-to- 
get' in a decidedly female dog-like manner, but relents in the end. 
Tliere is plenty of humor invoKcd in the flick, provided by a group 
of pretty colorful characters, all fanatically devoted to Scotch. Tlie 
film was around last year and if you missed it then, take it in. 
Tltev teil me this is a prere(|uisite for all Kappa Betes. If you get 
nabbed by an ABC man. don't give your right name; tell them yon 
go to Vassar and just dropiied by for the show. 



Undergraduate Democracy 

February 12, 1952 
lo llir Editor of the Willintm HECORD: 

My attention has been called to the action of a combined Phi 
Hela Kapi)a-C;argoyle Committee which "registered their senti- 
ment l)y endorsing complete fraternity membership". 

II in making Hiis decision they were influenced by a desire to 
sp;U(' any undergraduate the heartache which non-inembcrship in 
a Iraferiiitv is assumed to cause, how can they logically oppose 
siiiiilarly complete membership in Phi Beta Kap|)a and Gargoyle':' 
The maddest of FDR New Dealers have never attempted to 
abolish the possibility of heartache in the case of die citizenry at 
large, but apparently what those paternalistic vote-grabbers balked 
at does not faze the regimenters of Billville. 

.\t a meeting of the Williams Alumni Club of Washington a 
vear or so ago the principle speaker, a member of die faculty, told 
lis a sob story in the course of which he pictured "a young man 
whose whole life was embittered" because he failed to get a bid 
from a fraternity. My reaction to that maudlin noii.scnse was to 
wonder what luid happened to erstwhile recinirements of member- 
ship in the Williams faculty. 

Here in the nation's Capital the President has luncheon and 
dinner guests every day. Should the fact that 1 have never re- 
ceived such an invitation break my heart and embitter me't' Can 
yon imagine the Congress being .so asinine as seriously to try to 
enact legislation making citizenship automatically entitled to plant 
their legs under the Truman table? 

In my day the Junior Class perched atop the fence in front of 
the labs, while the Senior Class members of Gargoyle walked be- 
hind them, tapping those men whom they wanted in the honorary 
society. Can would-be abolitioinsis of heartache conceive of any- 
thing more cruel than that? Done in die blazing sunshine before a 
(^ommencemeut crowd! 

In view of their endorseiiieiit of complete fraternity meinber- 
sliip, how can CJargoyle this June fail to tap every member of the 
Junior Class?

WHAT MANUFACTURING IS 

Muniif.ictunnjz comprises all the activities essential to 
translarinf! engineering designs into finished prixhicts. 

This means that there are satisfying, reu iinling caieers 
in manufaeturing supervision and as technical specialists 
in such important areas as purchasing, manufacturing 
engineering, prcxliietion, and wage rate work, and in the 
.specialized functions within each one. These include tech- 
nical specialties: value analysis, materials handling, opera- 
tion planning and nieth<xls analysis, inventory control, and 
motion time study. 

Men holding such jobs arc finding them challenging 
because of the skills, imagination, and nnderstaniling they 
require . . . are finding them rewarding in prolessional 
prestige and personal achievement. 

AIMED AT THE NEED 

lo train men lor such positions is the objective of the 



.Manufaeturing Iraining Progniin, newest mcinbcr of the 
well-Unoun group of comprehensive Compan\'-\vide train- 
ing programs Test, Chemistry and Metallurgy, Physics, 
Business Training, and Advertising. 

At the conclusion of the Program, members fit into 
some phase of (ieneral I'.lectric manufaeturing, with their 
on-the-job progress being carefully followed to assure the 
most effective utilization of tlieir skills. Recently, our 
Ci-I''. manufacturing groups surveyed ilieir future leader- 
ship requirements. Within the next five years, their needs 
for new leaders in direct supervision alone will exceed 
1300 men! 

OPPORTUNITY . . . AND YOU 

If a career in manufaeturing at ( ienerni Flectric interests 
you "-and if you have a technical ediiearion or a general 
education with marked technical emphasis talk with the 
General I'.lcctric representative when he visits your

Martin Smashes Record 
In 220 Yd. Freestyle 

By Jud Klein 

Wednesday. Feb. 13^Sparked 
by Dick Martin's i'ecord-breaking 
peiformaiiee in the 220-yard free- 
style, coacli Bob Muir's Eph tank- 
ers administered a 52-23 thumping 
to the University of Connecticut 
this afternoon in Lasell Pool. 

Martin's 2:12.3 clocking shatter- 
ed llie existing Lasell Pool, 'Wil- 
liains, and New England intei'col- 
legiale records for the 220. The 
previous New England mark of 
2:12.5 was .set by Bowdoin's Doug 
-.11 two years ago. 

Four 1-2 Finlsties 
Except for Jefl Beckingham's 
new Connecticut backstroke rec- 
ord of 2:'J4.3. the U Conn forays 
into the point column were few 
and far between. Williams .scored 
1-2 finishes in four events, with 
Marlm and Joe Worthington fir.st 
.uiniiig llie trick in the 220. 

Max Rogers and Al Post com- 
iiined for eight points in the div- 
ing. Martin and Belash bettered 
Conneclicut's entries in the 100- 
yard sprint, and Charlie Douglas 
and Bob Brayton monopolized the 
breastslroke for the Ephs. 

Worthington Wins 440 
Connecticut's Jim Zuccardy fin- 
ished first in the 50. but Belash 
and Hank Molwitz claimed the 
place and show spots for the Eph- 
.nen. Likewise. Dave Byeiiy and 
Al Melzger neutralized Becking- 
iiam's win in the backstroke by 
taking second and third. 

Worthington copped a first in 
the anti-climatic 440 freestyle, 
aid Don Jones. Bela.sh, Sam Kim- 
beiiy. and Martin outdistanced a 
Connecticut fouisome in the final 
400-yard relay to enlarge the gap 
even more.

diiul charm unci humor into the 
P-.rt, ar.d remude the professor 
into quite iih eiitertainhig and 
lilieahle Kiiy. His bits of business, 
elfin smile, and vocal flexibility 
were valuable contributions lo the 
prodticlion. His exceptional tim- 
ing brouBht down the house in 
the final act when he mounted a 
hassock and thundered "Victory, 
victory . . ." 

This was, by no means, a unique 
or lucky momeiit. A smile, a flick 
of his hand, or a dramatic pause 
brought to life many lines which 
miKht have remained obscured by 
a less sensitive ivading of the part. 
His movements, fin'lhcrmore, were 
at such dizzyinK speed that every^ 
thing had a tendency to seem 
much funnier than it really was. 
Stone's poli.shed performance re- 
tlected, not only a keen under- 
standint! of the part, but also a 
r^.ther thorout^li awareness of the 
underlying Shavian philosophy

Lathrop Shines in Debut 

The character uf Eliza Doolittle 
was not only faithfully imagined, 
but freely and finely projected by 
Mary Liithrop. student at the Bux- 
ton School, who made her initial 
appearance on the AMT stase last 
week. Her Eliza was a woman of 
feelinn. temperament and idio- 
syncrasy. rauKing in mood and 
manner as a creatiue ranges in 
life. The tran.sform;ition she ef- 
fects between the cockney flower- 
Rirl and phonetic doll is fully and 
be.jUlifully resourceful. 

M ss Lathrop's best scene came 
in tl"-3 second act as Mrs. Higgins' 
tea where Eliza makes such a 
brave showing with all the h's 
going well. Her "bloody" is the 
climax of slips which Shaw has 
rigged to give them both a diver- 
ting and a pathetic interest. This 
part requires a great deal of ver- 
.satility — vocal and emotional. 
Miss Lathrop appeared to have 
plenty of both.

'50 Fund Drive Mark 



Saturday, Feb. 23 — Alumni con- 
tributed $115,277 to college cof- 
fers In a record-breaking 1951 
fund drive which ended at mid- 
night on January 31, Tire total 
although surpassing the cam- 
paign's goal by only $277, nearly 
doubled the previous all-time re- 
cord of $82,000, ,set in the 1950 
drive, Charles B. Hall '15, Execu- 
tive Secretary of the Alumni Fund, 
Indicated that the 3,617 donors 
responding to this year's appeal al- 
so constituted a record. 

Proceeds from the drive have 
been turned over to tlie Board of 
Trustees for general application 
to college expenses. No specific 
objectives are cited in applying 
for contributions, and the cam- 
paign is waged chiefly through 
mall and phone calls by class a- 
gents and regional committees. 

The 1952 campaign will be 
launched in Williamstown with a 
meeting and dinner on the weelt- 
end of the opening home football 
game, Mr. Hall has revealed. Un- 
til 1950, the yearly appeal had 
been opened with a ceremony in 
New York, and the move to Wil- 
liamstown was made last fall to 
bring alumni closer to the campus.

Rumbling, Canvas 
Fail to Halt Work 
At West College 

Pre-Blaze Pipes Warm 
Masons as Frame of 
Roof Goes in Place 



by Krcag Donovan. '54 

Saturday, Feb, 23— The current 
rumblings from within the walls 
of West College are indications 
of considerable reconstruction. All 
is not as mysterious as the cloth 
coverings, placed on the windows 
to keep out the cold, might seem 
to indicate. 

Protruding from the west wall of 
the building, a noisily vibrating 
pipe is evidence of the constantly 
beating cement mixer. A squad of 
masons is presently erecting walls 
of tile blocks on the second and 
third floors, and these stories have 
already begun to reveal their e- 
ventual patterns. 

Middle Stories Advanced 

Steel door frames, the basic 
pipes in the plumbing system, and 
the metal framework of the stair- 
ways are now in place. Th^ heat- 
ing .system is still in service and 
many of the workmen are kept 
warm by the radiators of the pre- 
blaze structuie. 

As yet the first and fourth 
floors of this dormitory show little 
of the rejuvenation of the middle 
stories. When the steel frameworl; 
for tlie cupola was hoisted into 
place Tuesday, it marked the be- 
ginning of the actual reconstruc- 
tion of the roof. Previously, the top 
of the building had been left as a 
bare, concrete surface. 

Despite the fences and signs of 
secrecy, the rebuilding of West 
College is progressing normally 
(ind rapidly. Completion of the 
building is expected before the 
return of the .students next fall.

Sunday, Feb. 17 — In a bold but 
financially unsuccessful effort to 
prove that even a book store can 
be a popular resort during House- 
party. Washburne's emporium on 
Spring Street provided flaming 
additions to the tone of the fes- 
tivities with an array of various 
books on sex, drinking, and fairy 
tales this weekend. 

With a sign, conceived by Ida 
Kay. "Ennui? Incompatible-Try 
these for your weelcend reading 
pleasure", the display included 
such best-sellers as "Physical At-

"Ideal Marriage- Its Physiology

In addition to the drinkers*

Several crossword puzzles were on 
sale also, but merely collected 
dust.

Players Incorporated to Present 
"School for Wives" Here Feb. 27 



Saturday. Feb. 23— "The Scliool 
for Wives", a famous French com- 
edy by the 17th century playwrite 
Moliere, will be produced by Play- 
ers Incorporated at the Adams 
Memorial Theatre Wednesday, 
February 27, at 8:30 P. M. Players 
Incorporated is a travelling com- 
liany from Washington. D. C. 
which takes professional theatre 
to people all over the country. 

Walter Kerr, author and direc- 
tor of the recent musical hit 
"Touch and Go" and drama critic 
for the Herald Tribune, directs the 
liroduction, which has a cast of 
fifteen actors. The three leading 
roles of "The School tor Wives" 
are: John Marzocco as Oronte; 
Henry Sutton as Henriques: and 
Oil Rathbun as Chrysolde. 

Produce Many Classics 

Players Incorporated have pro- 
duced many classics in the past 
few years, and their repertoire in- 
cludes 200 performances of Shake- 
speare's "Much Ado About Noth- 
ing", and G, B, Sliaw's "Arms and 
the Man". With these two plays 
and many others, the troupe has 
toured virtually the entire country. 



"The School for Wives" has fre- 
quently been acclaimed as the best 
play ever written by Moliere who. 
in turn, has been called the great- 
est writer of comedy in Frencli 
history. All of Moliere's dramas 
were written in the 17th century 
and he forms part of the trio of 
Cornellle. Rasine and Moliere 
whose works dominated this "Gol- 
den Age" in French literature. 
Criticized at First 

When first produced. "The 
School for Wives" was strongly 
criticized for not having conform- 
ed to the standard of the typical 
contemporary comedy. In place of 
slap-stick and physical action. Mo- 
liere substituted psychological 
drama and a subtle type of humor. 

Once the "School for Wives",be- 
came established, it was presented 
regularly at the Comedie Fran- 
caise In Paris.

sibility to assistants Ida Kay and 
Rick Wheeler '52. Wa,5hburne con- 
tinued, "I'm too old to be interest- 
ed In .sex. but Ida and Rick. . ." 

Clarifying the situation, Wheel- 
er declared that "the minute Ray 
walked out, Ida and I stripped the 
window while the old cat's away, 
the mice will play", Ida Kay, un- 
fortunately, could not be reached 
for comment, 

Wheeler maintained that "two 
Buxton youngsters were the first 
ones attracted to the display, and 
after that it snowballed, for no 
one could resist it". Sales records 
showed, however, that only three 
persons were sufficiently snowed 
to purchase one of the specimens.

Among those notables who com- 
plimented the mutinous assistants 
for the eye-catching spectacle, 
Wi'ie Clay Hunt and A. Grant No- 
ble. Wheeler imagined that they 
had different motives, however. 

Washburne remarked that he 
W;is skeptical at first, but fin- 
ally managed to see some .sense 
in 11. "I'm thankful there were no 
nudes", he .said. "I draw the line

Eph Five Rallies 
In Third Quarter 
To Narrow Gap 

Wesleyan Attack Shines 
As Victors Gain First 
Little Three Triumph 

By Gerry Davis '54 

Middletown. Conn. Feb. 20— A 
devastatingly accurate Wesleyan 
set-shooting offense handed Coach 
Al Shaw"s Purple quintet their 
second Little Three loss tonight 
by the score of 69-57. 

For Williams, this was their 
fifth successive loss, giving them 
a season record of six and eight, 
with a one and two mark in Little 
Three competition. 

Wesleyan Leads 

A red headed substitute. Nelson, 
playing In place of the injured 
Teachout, spelled the difference as 
he hit for 18 points, mainly on 
long, one-handed shots in the first 
and second periods, to spark the 
Cardinals to a 40-23 half-time lead 

While Wesleyan was amassing 
tills margin as the result of a 
phenomenal 47 per-cent shooting 
average the Ephnien could do little 
save futilely foul the opposition, 
resulting in Herb Smith's piling up 
four personal fouls midway 
through the second quarter while 
Bill Sue.ssbrick committed three. 
Williams Rallies 

A revamped Williams team took 
the floor for the second half and 
quickly proceeded to put themselv- 
es back In the game. Willi Smith 
sitting on the bench. Bob Depopolo 
took over at the right forward po- 
sition and spearheaded tlie third 
period offensive which saw the 
Ephmen outscore Wesleyan 19-9 
and narrow the gap to 48-42 with 
ten minutes to play. 

In spite of a full court press 
which was employed throughout 
the final quarter, the Ephmen 
found themselves once again sty- 
mied by the Wesleyan offense. 
Points were traded on an even ba- 
sis for the first five minutes of 
tlie period, but two quick baskets 
by the Cardinal's May, who was 
high scorer with 20 points, with 
four minutes to go put the game 
on ice, giving Wesleyan their third 
\iclory against ten losses.

Plansky Receives Track Honors 
For N.E. Sports Hall of Fame 

Saturday, Feb. 23 — In 1920, a young man named Tony Plansky 
Kraduated from Georgetown University, carrying with him one of 
the most brilliant athletic careers known to the nation at that 
time. On the gridiron, as well as on the cinder-paths, the big boy 
from South Boston excelled to a perfection which caused many to 
liken the "Georgetown Great" to the immortal Jim Thorpe. 

Plan.sky's name found mention on .several of the mid-1920 
All-America erid teams. In track, he captured the National De- 
cathlon Championship in 1924; he took the intercollegiate honors 
for the .same events in 1925. 1926. and asain in 1928 when he 
placed fir.st in the Penn Belays. 

After a professional football career with the New York Giants 
had brought further acclaim, Plansky entered the professional 
ba.seball ranks where he en.toyeri two very succe.ssful years. 

With such an illustrious record, it was with fitting 'tribute 
that Tony Plansky should be elected to the New England Sports 
Hall of Fame, for in the minds of many sports fans of yesteryear, 
Plansky remains as the greatest all-around athlete ever developed 
in New England. It was All American Benny Friedman who said 
of Plansky: "He was one of the most magnificent athletes I have 
ever known."

LUCKIES TASTE BETTER 1 

The difference between "just smoking" and 
really enjoying your smoke is the taste of a 
cigarette. You can taste the difference in the 
smoother, mellower, more enjoyable taste of a 
Lucky . . . for two important reasons. First, 
L.S./M.F.T.— Lucky Strike means fine tobacco 
. . . fine, mild tobacco that tastes better. Second, 
Luckies are made to taste better . . . proved best- 
made of all five principal brands. So reach for a 
Lucky. Enjoy the cigarette that tastes better!

Wesleyan Today; 
In Medley Relay 

Martin Duels Barth 
In Feature Contest 

By Jacli Marr 

Sat., Feb. 23— A powerful Wes- 
leyan swimming team will invade 
the Lasell Gymnasium pool this 
afternoon as the Eph mermen 
open their drive for the 1951-62 
Little Three title. Wesleyan, with 
five victories in seven starts should 
provide strong opposition for the 
twice-beaten Ephs. 

I'he Cardinal standouts include 
Captain Dick Barth in the dashes 
and Jan Vandenberg in the dis- 
tance events. Barth, imbeaten this 
year, will be hard pressed in his 
duel with Williams record-break- 
ing Dick Martin, while Vanden- 
berg, a consistant double winner 
all season, may meet his match in 
Ephs Don Jones and Joe Worth- 
ington. 

Todays meet may provide an- 
Ephs Seek New Record 
other Williams record, as the med- 
ley relay combine of Dave Byerly, 
Rick JeiTrey, and Dick Martin or 
Don Jones could easily better the 
pool and Williams records. In the 
Connecticut meet the record was 
narrowly missed, and the return of 
the then-injured Rick JeiTrey may 
provide the needed spark. 

Another record po'-sibility exists 
in the 50 yd. dash where Dick 
Martin, recent bi'eaker of three 
records will be facing Dick Barth, 
who may force him to his best 
time of the season. In the diving, 
Ephs Max Rogers and Al Post face 
Redbird Bill Meyer. Here Rogers, 
a consistant point-maker all sea- 
son, should gain the nod. 

Track Squad to Run 
In N. Y. Tournament 

Now York. Feb. 22 — Twelve 
members of the Williams win- 
ter track squad will compete 
in a total of six events in the 
I. C. A. A. A. A. championship 
meet in Madison Square Gar- 
den this weekend, according to 
Coach Tony Plansky. 

Eph entries tentatively in- 
clude Jack Brody, Al Fletcher 
and Bill Miller in the sixty- 
yard dash, George Steinbrenner 
and Dick Walters in the hur- 
dles, Ted Cypiot and George 
Kelsey in the high jump, and 
Joe Rice in the mile. In addi- 
tion. Plansky has listed Pete 
Cosgriff, Dana Fearon, John 
Freese and Bob Jones in an 
unusually strong field in the 
600.

Friday, February 22 — The Tippy 
Committee, a group comprised of 
the giaduate heads of Williams 
,social units, I'ecommended unani- 
mously this afternoon to do away 
with all pre-initiation hazing and 
replace the traditional Hell Week 
with a Help Week. 

Meeting with the Undergiad- 
uate Council, the Tippy Commit- 
tee proposed this change as a 
measure to gain more beneficial 
lelations with surrounding com- 
munities and to accomplish some- 
thing useful with all the energy 
that is now devoted to hazing. 
No RushinK Quota.s 

UC Rushing Committee Chair- 
man Elliot Curtis '52 reported 
the UC recommendations con- 
cerning the elimination of frater- 
nity quotas to the Tippy Com- 
mittee for its consideration. Ac- 
cording to the proceduie set up by 
the Sterling Committee, the i-ec- 
ommendations of both these com- 
mittees must be given to the ad- 
ministration which will make the 
final decision. 

The Tippy Committee stated 
that it would make its report on 
quotas before the beginning of 
post-sea.son rushing this spring. 

In an effort to strengthen dis- 
cusion between the graduate and 
undergraduate groups, the Tippy 
Committee Invited members of the 
1952-53 Undergraduate Council to 
attend a meeting in New York City 
this spring. No definite date was 
set for the meeting.

light of their alumni home-com- 
ing festivities, the Chi Psi's ded- 
icated a new room in their cellar 
to the late John L. Goodbody '08. 
an active elder of Chi Psi who 
who died last year. 

Started last winter under the 
direction of Douglas Jolin,son '51. 
all the woik on the room was done 
by the Chi Psi undergraduates. 
Last summer the corporation of 
Chi Psi built the new stairway 
which leads into the I'oom. 

Large Bar 

Functioning as a site for par- 
ties, the room is constructed of 
plywood panel walls, with a gray 
cement floor. A .spacious bar, com- 
plete with brass rail and dark red 
linoleum covering, provides tlie 
main attraction. 

Fluorescent lights inset in the 
ceiling and corner tables with 
seats built in the walls add a club 
atmosphere. Hanging on the wall 
adjacent to the bar is a plaque in 
honor of "Uncle John", as he was 
known to the Chi Psi's.

larship students' grades revealed 
that the Sophomore class had the 
highest average for both Tyng 
and regular scholarships, with 4.49

also indicates that the freshman 
Tyng scholais got a higher aver-

The Tyng average of 4.48 and 
the legular of 3.8 gave the cla.ss of 
'52 a second place for both groups. 
The freshman Tyng scholars' 
unusually high 4.38 average rank- 
ed behind the senior average, but 
the freshmen with regular scho- 
larships only attained a 3.34 aver- 
age, putlng them last in that

R.P.I. to Present 
Famous English 
Ballet Performers 



Dame Ninette deValois 

Directs Sadler's Wells 

Theatrical Company 



Wednesday. Feb. 27 — England's 
woiid famous Sadler's Wells Tliea- 
trc Ballet will appear in Troy for 
one performance on the night of 
Maich 12. according to R.P.I, pub- 
licity officers. The traveling Lon- 
don company, which has broken 
all attendance recoi-ds in its two 
American tours, will be presented 
al the R.P.I. Field House. 

Directed since its birth by Dame 
Ninette deValois. the group has 
received the highest acclaim from 
critics and public, and its fore- 
most stai-s. such as Margot Fon- 
tcyn and Moira Shearer, are class- 
ed with the outstanding names 
of contemporai'y ballet. 

Active Since 1931 

The company's name is derived 
from its base at London's Sadler's 
Wells Tlieatre, a structure dat- 
ing back to Shakespeare's day. Its 
ballet histoi-y started in 1931 and, 
except for a brief wartime shut- 
down, it has operated successfully 
evei- since. Last summer the bal- 
let gioup. which works in a.sso- 
ciation with the government Aits 
Council, was featured at the Fes- 
tival of Gieat Britain, 

Two weeks befoi-e the tickets for 
the March 12 presentation in Troy 
weie put on sale, forty pages of 
mail and telephone ordeis had 
been received, and officials state 
that the demand continues to be 
heavy. Seats are still available, 
however. 



Wednesday, Feb. 27 — The usual 
routine of campus activities was 
changed considei-ably last week 
by the advent of the annual fra- 
lernity hell week. Several of tlie 
iJiojects assigned to the hapless 
pledges contributed much to the a- 
musement of the whole student 
body. 

Tcvliaps the mast spectaculai 
house in tire humoi'ous hazing de- 
partment was Phi Delta Theta. 
While one of the pledges sat as- 
tride a large snow mound on the 
front lawn and shouted the time, 
others wei'e seen wheeling such 
vehicles as baby carriages and 
children's carts to their cla.sses. 

Scalping 

The annual rivalry between the 
Theta Delts and the Psi U's pro- 
duced some bald freshmen in the 
foimers delegation. Wlien sent to 
Si.eai a mounted fish from the Psi 
U clininy room tlrree Theta Delt 
iieupnyies were caught, and all 
emerged with shaved heads. 

On ihe more sei'ious side of tire 
iCdger, tlie Betas instituted a help 
week instead of the usual hell week 
I'li? members, as well as the pled- 
ges, volunteered their services to 
the cHy of North Adams and spent 
Thursday in a snow clearance pro- 
ject. 

After the initiations on Friday 
and Saturday evenings, the var- 
ious fi-aternities settled back to 
the noi'mal college life. 



Language Groups 
Meet in Currier 



Speaking English Banned 
At Dinner Gatherings 

Three nights a week the Col- 
lege sets up at Currier Hall spe- 
cial dinner tables for language 
students, in order to give them a 
better speaking knowledge of 
French. Spanish, and Gei'man. 
There are usually several language 
instructors present, who join in 
the dinner conveisation where no 
English is the rule. 

The Spanish table leads off the 
weekly schedule on Monday night, 
with the Flench taking over on 
Tuesday and the Geiman on Wed- 
nesday. Tlie dinner, to which all 
students aie invited, is served at 
6:30 p.m.. and usually ends with 
coffee at about 7 p.m. 

Some knowledge of the lan- 
guage is advi.sed unless the diner 
cares to starve to death. These 
language meals were orlghially 
started by the now extinct Oar- 
field Club and have been continu- 
ed by the college. 



Hawkins' Baskets 
Provide Triumph 
In Overtime Play 

Smith Captures Scoring 

Honors, Paces Team; 

Visitors Rally Late 



by Jud Klein '54 

Saturday. Feb. 23 — Jack Haw- 
kins sank the second of a pair of 
fi'ee thiows with only 19 seconds 
remaining in a double overtime 
pei'iod to provide Williams with 
a 53-52 victory over Worcester 
Polytechnic this afternoon. A Win- 
ter Homecoming throng of nearly 
1000 jammed Lasell Gym to wit- 
ness the loosely played, but hair- 
raising contest. 

The win snaps a four-game los- 
ing streak for Coacli Al Shaw's 
cagers. The Ephmen remain inac- 
tive now until Friday night, when 
they take on a highly-touted 
Spi-inpfield quintet hei-e. 

.Smith Hot Early 

Hawkins, playing in an unac- 
customed substitute role, also 
came through three times to tie 
the score in the pressure-laden ac- 
tion after W.P.I, rallied to forge 
ahead for the first time with just 
five minutes remaining. The Eph 
foiward ended the afternoon with 
a game total of ten points' four 
of th»m coming in the cHmatic 
second overtime session, after en- 
tering the fray in the second per- 
iod. 

It was sophomore scoring ace 
Herb Smith, however, who held a 
iTvamped Purple lineup together 
throughout a poorly played first 
half. Outscoring the entii'e W.P.I, 
team foi' tlie first two quartei-s. 
Smith counted on eight of eleven 
shots to spark single-handedly the 
Ephs to a 25-16 halftime advan- 
tage. 

Switch from Zone 

Switching from their previous 
zone defense. Worcester took ad- 
vantage of a cooled-off Smith to 
stage a late third period i-ally 
which enabled them to take a 
41-40 lead willi five minutes re- 
maining, when substitute Doug 
McLaren netted seven straight 
points. W.P.I, center Hai-ry Brown 
a bulwark under the boards all af- 
ternoon, scored on a hook and a 
tup to bring his total to 20, second 
beliind Smith's 21 points in the 
game's personal scoring. 

Successful fi-ec tlirows by Haw- 
kins and surprise-starter Bob De- 
Popolo, and a comer set by Co- 
Capt. Ed Shudt kept the Eph def- 
icit at one point. Then with 58 
seconds left. Walt Creer sank his

score at 45-45. Brown's last-

Reals on Fraternities 



,„ , . Fcliiiiaiv 20, 1952 

/ () the tdilor of the Willium.i F.ECOHD: 

III the Williaiiis REC;OFD of Feb. 20 Ilavdfn Talliot '03 
.stoics a Sonne! point at^aiiist diose who lecoiiimfiulcil coinpletf 
hateniitv nicnibfisliip on the jrionnd that ihi' evil to In- rcnicclied 
is the piMsoiial hcailach<'S of thosi- who don't get into fratcinitie.s. 
Bill he is wiony in snpposiii^ that failnic to ijet into other liroup.s 
is Inllv analojrons to failure to net into fraternities. The difference 
is this: the noii-fraternitv itndent at Williams not only fails to 
make a Irateruitv, hut in .» very real and painful sense he feels 
e.\eluiled from membeishio in the collej^e commnnitv. Tliis is be- 
cause in the absence of eollei;c provision of physical facilities for 
the social life of all Williams students, the social dimension of 
campus activity has necessarily become centered in the fraternities 
as pri\ate orfanizatious. This is the institutional evil for which the 
proposed Student Union is the correct atteinpt at solution. 

Where Mr. Talbot fails to ackiiowledije a irciuiine evil, Fred 
II. Hotb '21 withdraw' from his rcs])onsibility as an ahininus to 
combat from within the imperfections of his Alma Mater. I do 
not 'lere discuss his thoujilitless assumption that the fraternities 
at Williams are irrevelant to the meanini^ of the institiition and 
hence that it is shod.ly j'Tonnd to be concerned to maintain the 
kind of college that most alumni will support. Quite apart from 
this. I deplore the h- ir ^veather loyalty so moralistically proclaimed 
bv Mr. Roth. Whar no.ssible evidence is there of the "profound 
affecfioii h)r Willi: ms" which he boasts when he withdraws his 
iirac'ical support ( n the occasion of a connuittee rejiort of which 
he (rsani)ro\es? T.^e test of loyalty is remaiuini; within the family 
evei> when von ft el forced to condemn what some of its nienibers 
have done. Mr. F.ith dunks the test.

Current Williaiiij^iana 



Bi/ John H. Alhiii 

Back in the beKiiminj^ of No\cmber, the REC^ORD ran a 
cartoon depictinf; what humorously was thought to be "what the 
average Williams man wears." Picturinj; a fairly frrotesc)iie under- 
siraduate, the cartoon exhibited a stranjje assortment of rep and 
non-Ivy attire. But just how "shoe" is the average Williams student':' 
Intrigued bv the (juestion and also re(|uired to write a )iaper on 
the subject for History 9-a, 1 determined to take a poll and estab 
lish some facts about the averasfe E))h wardrobe. 

Emplovinjr the random samplini; method of tondiictin)i a 
poll,! inter\iewed some fifty underi;raduates selected by taking 
every twentieth man from the collejre address book. The end 
result is supposed to be within five to eight per cent of the sartorial 
situation on the campus. 

This poll proved, of coiuse, that Williams is a j^retty re]5 
place. But the degree of the standardization is (juite smprising. 
The dress uniform— grey flannel slacks, a tweed or Shetland coat, 
an Oxford cloth shirt with buttondown collar, a striped tie, argvles, 
and plain toed shoes, can b(^ worn by over in'i\etv per cent of the 
nndergraduate body. If statistics interest you, wade through a few 
of these. Sixty-six per cent own at least one Oxford grey Haniu'l, 
single breasted .suit. Worsteils and tweeds follow next in popu- 
larity. Single breasted suits outmimber double brea.sted models 
by four to one. The average undergraduate owns two and three- 
fifths winter suits and one and three-fifths tweed or Shetland S))ort 
jackets. Corduroy seems to be definitely out of taste as over two 
thirds do not own sport coats of this type. Bla/ers and plaids are 
not the rage that advertisers claim, as only one-fourth own prep 
school or college blazers and only one-fifth sport have tartan 
jackets. Cashmere sport coats are way down the line with a small 
six per cent owning this tyjie. The average total nuinber of sport 
jackets lies somewhere between two and three per student. 
92% Wi//i Fhiwel Pants 

In pants flannel is by far the most popidar material. Gabardine 
comes next in liiu'. The number of odd dress slacks varies a good 
deal with indi\'idual students, the lowest number being zero and 
the highest ten pair. The median liiu' falls close to three. .X luxury 
item, DAKS are found only in a six per cent minority, the same 
.si.x per cent that wear cashmere coals. Only eight per cent of the 
college do not own a pair of odd grey flannels or an Oxford grey 
flannel suit. 

The Williams shirt preference is overwhelmingly the Oxford 
cloth, buttondown collar model. Only eight per cent fail to own 
at least one of these. The individual coimt of dress shirts with all 



styles of collars varies a good deal, the lowest number recorded 
being six and the highest, twenty-four. The average number of 
student shirts is approxiinateb twcKf anil a half. Only a tenth ol 
the students have bought pink coloicd shirts, hut twenty per cent 
own at least one of the round collar type, I'ractically no one seems 
to buy more than two of this latter style. Fi\c-sixths ha\c solid 
blue Oxfords. Figures prov<' that the freshman who wants to get 
the really correit collegiate wardrobe should purchase bis white 
and blue buttondowns in a ratio of lour whiles to one bine, al- 
though some tasteful dressers have been known to viokile this rule 
at limes. Oidv the Brooks Brothers and (lliipp shoppers (lilleen 
per cent of the polices) weai the pulloN'cr shle shirt. E\eryone 
has at least one white shirt, oddly enough. 

Ninety per cent ha\e argyle hose, and a slightly larger per- 
centage possess solid color, ribbed, woolen socks. Three-fourths ol 
the students own more woolen socks than those made oul ol any 
other material. Twenty-five per cent have silk hose, but the ma- 
jority of these are used onK' on formal occasion. Nylon doi's not 
seem to be popular with manv, but those who ha\e any socks ol 
this material usually stick pretiominantlv to it. One student claims 
ownership to ninety pair of soiks, but sixteen pair is ;i much more 
a\'erage figure. 

William B. Jones and Richmoud II. ()'!lile\ in their \()luine 
of advice to eastern collegi' coeds entitled, "Weekend, :i Cirls' 
Cuide to the College Weekend " say of the average Williams man's 
footwear: "The man who hasn't got on his white bucks, properly 
sculled of comse, is an outcast. Tlu'V usually appe;n' betore the 
ice is out of the river in the spring and ne\ei conn- oil till its time 
for galoshes again." If this statement is true, then a large forty- 
foiu- (ler cent of Williams men are outcasts. When the large num- 
ber of non-white buck wearers becomes well known, undergrad- 
uates will probably rush out and buy up the local supply to get 
Williams back in the kind reg;u(l of true l\y Leaguers [ones and 
O'Riley. Plain toe cordovans are the most popular tlress shoe with 
sixty per cent having at least one jjair of this Uiie. Scotch grains 
follow next at the fortv-six i^er cent mark. Loafers seem to be just 
as popular percentagewise as white bucks. 

Striped Ties All But Uuicersvl 

Neckwear is a difiicult item to poll. First of all, nobody wants 
to coimt up all his countless ties and secondly, nobody knows the 
diderence between wool chalets and ancient madders or between 
reps and regimentals. In spite of these dilliculties, nin<'ty-h)ur jier 
cent acknowledge owniership to at least one striped tie, and the 
majority have a small number ol solids, plaids, bows, knits, foul- 
ards, chalets and ancient mailders. Most of the polices merely 
lnin|5ed tlu'sc last three categories into the single tvpe ol sniiill pat- 
terns in general. For a sim|)le explanation ol dillerenti'S in textine, 
material, pattern, and worth see either the House ol Walsh or the 
Williams Co-op. The foin-in-h;m(l knot beats out the larger Wind- 
sor by ten jicr cent of the undi'rgradnates on cam|5ns. Most Wind- 
sor tiers, however, stipulate ;i half-Windsor or a very tight full 
Windsor. Loud, large pattern ties are in evidence in only a twen- 
tieth ol the men polled. Some, however, admitted concealing a 
few for vacations in the Midwest. 

/•'(■((• \'r,s7,v. Hats. Black Shoes 

A lew final details. Oidv an insignificant lour per cent ever 
wear a vest matching a suit. A fifth have plaid or tattersoll waist- 
coats, but ninety-five per cent state that thev generally never wear 
a \est. Four per cent admit donning a felt hat when it is not rain- 
ing, but the rest limit wearing any sort of dress head wear to such 
inclement weather. Black shoes are worn only for .\FIU)TC. Naval 
Reserve, and formal occasions Fortv-six per cent find tlieinscKes 
more clothes-conscious since entering VVilliams, thirty-four per 
cent are imchanged, and twenty per cent are less clothes conscious 
at Williams. 



I In spite of the degree that Williams men conform to this pat. 

tern of tweedy, lollegiate dress, ther<' is a leeliug that to dress 
in the "Princeton Charlie" fashion is .somewhat degrading. For ex-

waidrobe including lhirt\' icgiuieiit;il lies, said, "I'm definitely not

feat today against a strong Wes-

inerican Civilization at Brandeis 
University, lecturer at New York's 
New School of Social Research, 
and columnist for the "New York 
Post", delivered a speech on "1952: 
Men and Ideas" in Je.sup Hall at 
8 p.m. this evening. 

Dr. Lerner. Professor of Politi- 
cal Science at Williams from 1938 
to 1943. called the campaign year 
a "year of .shows", particularly 
in this era of television. 

Taft Called Archaic 

In a run-down of the various 
Republican candidates. Dr. Lcmer 
called Senator Robert A. Taft 
"one of the greatest minds of the 
nineteenth century." maintaining 
that the Ohioan's political policies 
showed little progress from those 
of his father. William Howard 
Taft. 

"Taft's .strength lies in the past 
failures of the Republican can- 
didates." said the lecturer, as he 
characterized Thomas E. Dewey's 
11)48 campaign as "positive geniu.s 
111 snatching defeat from the very 
.laws of victory." 

Favors Warren 

Dr. Lerner. speaking frankly 
from a liberal's viewiJoint. named 
Governor Earl Warren of Calif- 
ornia the only non-conservative 
Republican candidate. He called 
General Eisenhower a con.servative 
attempting to remain above po- 
litical conflict. 

Douglas MacArthur. he feels, 
will make a strong impression at 
the Republican convention and 
may prove like "the man who 
came lo dinner." His nomination, 
however, would involve a liighly 
dangerous experiment with a 
"man on hor.seback". 

Truman To Run? 

If corruption remains a major 
issue. Dr. Lerner believes that 
President Truman will not run, al- 
though he does want another 
term. Senator Esles Kefauver of 
Kentucky and Govenor Adlai

Van Dusen Secretary,

Wednesday. Feb. 27— Howard 
Babcock '53 was elected President 
of the Williams' Christian Asso- 
ciation succeeding Jack Harris '52. 
Biuce Van Dusen '53 replaces Jim 
Henry '52 as Secretary, and Dave 
Burgher '53 takes over the treasu- 
rer's position vacated by Hodge 
Markgraf. '52. 

Besides his duties connected 
with the WCA. Babcock is also a 
member of the varsity soccer and 
biiseball teams, a member of the 
Student Activities Council and 
Business Manager of the Gul. Van 
Dusen lias earned a position on 
the varsity lacrosse squad, and a- 
long with Babcock shared the 
managerial duties of the Wil- 
liamslown Boys' Club. As past 
head of the Activities and Welfare 
Committee of WCA, Burgher also 
headed the Scout Fraternity, is 
president of the Plying Club, and 
a member of tlie SAC. 

Some time in tlie near future 
Pii'sident Babcock hopes to ar-

Ileal perception which by force of 
isKiil and literary maneuvers evol-

Production '(Tnpretentions' 

Wednesday's production bore 
ihroughout a delightful aura of 
happiness. Full of sympatliy for 
young love and natural gaiety, 
Moliere's creation becomes a high- 
ly zcstful and unreflective exer- 
cise. It is to the credit of the cast 
that much humanity permeated 
this unpretentious comedy. Agnes 
is thus .seen as a charming inno- 
cent, and even Arnolph is a sym- 
pathetic figure whose debacle 
comes when he desires something 
contrary to nature and common 
sense. 

We have here a leal and rather 
interesting plot with no creeping 
investigations which fail to fur- 
ther the action. The naive con- 
fessions of Agnes together with 
the unguarded confidence reposed 
by Horace in his rival, and tlie 
stifled rage of Arnolph against 
both, form a series of comic scenes 
of the most amusing, and at the 
same time, of the most i-efined 
description. 

Vehicle for .\rnulph 

Wlien you get right down to it. 
this engaging comedy is pretty 
much a solor affair. Arnolph mo- 
tivates and .sustains the action 
almost continually. He is onstage 
for all but four minutes of the 
performance and he delivers no

Cap & Bells Begins Preparations 
For Pirandello s Play, 'Henry IV 



Conovitz to Take Lead; 

Bryant Directs AMT's 

New Italian Tragedy 

Now in rehearsal, Luigi Piran- 
dello's modern Italian tragedy, 
"Henry IV" opens on the .stage of 
the Adams Memorial Theatre for 
a three-day rini beginning March 
26 

Director David C. Bryant, Jr. 
described the season's fourth stu- 
dent production as one of the 
most difficult undertaken in re- 
cent years because of complex plot, 
varied characterization, and lavish 
scenery and costoming. 
Casting Problems 

The large number of Important 
speaking roles in the play further 
complicated the director's pro- 
blems. The list of principles in- 
cludes Martin Conovitz '53 as 
Henry IV, Sally Long as the Mar- 
cliloness Matilda Spina, Dorothy 



Sprague as Frlda, and Joseph De- 
wey '52 as Baron Belcredi. 

Other students taking major 
parts are Theodore Weems '55 as 
Dr. Genoni. Daniel Miller '55 as 
Harold. John Johnston '54 in the 
role of Landolph. Thomas Bell '55 
as Ordulpli. Gilbert Holtzman '53 
playing Berthold. and Timothy 
Beard '53 as John. 

Friens Insanity 

The plot is based around action 
which sees a modern-day Italian 
aristocrat, pretending in.sanity, 
assume the role of King Henry W. 
tenth century German emperor. 
His family. In efforts to cure him, 
drive him to disaster. 

Set in modern-day Italy, the 
three-act tragedy takes place a- 
galnst the background of a re- 
constructed tenth century palace. 
William Schneider '52 designed 
the play's two sets. Production 
manager is John Lar.son '53, and 
Dave Hud.son '53 is stage manager. 



Student-Faculty Control, 
New Kitchen Facilities 
Planned for Next Fall 



Saturday. March 1 — Beginnuig 
next fail, a temporary Student 
Union will be in operation at the 
IJicscm Alumni Hou.se near the 
loot of Spring Street, Following 
the Alumni Banquet last Sunday, 
the Executive Committee of the 
Society of Alumni offered the col- 
lege the use of its building until 
a permanent Student Union can 
be constructed. 

At present, the Alumni House 
consists of three large lounging 
rooms and a small bar. The only 
alterations w-ill be the addition of 
a wing at the east end of the 
building to house the West College 
Room and a .small kitchen with 
.sandwich and snack facilities. 
Rustic Decor 
Constructed in 1941. largely 
through the work of Ralph Per- 
kins '09. the building bears a pre- 
vailing rustic and colonial at- 
mosphere. The large and high- 
ceilinged Dodge Memorial Room 
which comprises the present east 
wing is graced by ceiling beams, 
an upright piano, a deerhead. and 
a large fireplace topped by a win- 
ter view of Mt. Greylock done ui 
oils by Dwight Shepler '28. 

A smaller but equally impressive 
north room is similar in decor, 
with writing desks, game tables, 
a fireplace and two large murals 
of Colonel Eph Williams by Stan- 
ley Rowland. These two large 
lounges are joined by a low-ceil- 
inged. intimate room which leads 
off the entrance hall and contains 
;i iliir SHiT-rol lahlps. and i\ wealtl^ 
of photographs and sketches on 
the walls. 

Alumni Retain Use 
At present, the house also con- 
tains a small kitchen, a cloak 
room and a lavatory, along with a 
powder room and rooms for three 
faculty members upstairs. The new 
wing will lead olf the Dodge Room, 
and its addition should tuni the 
building into a creditable .social 
center for alumni and students. 

The house is expected, however, 
to revert to the use of the alumni 
on big weekends such as last 
week's Homecoming. 

Before students can secure the 
use of the building, an effective 
system of management must be 
decided upon, Ii is probable that 
a joint board oi students and fac- 
ulty will be selected to handle the 
affairs of the Union 



College Ike-Men 
Initiate Campaign 

Treadway Opens Drive 
As Group Organizes 



Thursday. Feb. 28— Backers of 
General Dwight D. Eisenhower for 
President gatliered at the Wil- 
liams Inn tonight for an organ- 
izational meeting of the Berkshire 
County campaign. Tlie meeting 
was sponsored by the Williams 
College Ei.senhower-for-President 
committee, and was open to all In- 
terested. 

Speaking at the meeting was 
Richard Treadway of Stuibridge 
who is a member of the Massachu- 
setts Eisenhower committee, and 
who has taken a leave of absence 
as President of the Treadway Inns 
to devote full lime to the cam- 
paign. Another speaker was Atty. 
Harry Glovsky of North Adams, 
Eisenhower Chairman for Nor- 
thern Berkshire County. 

The Williams committee, head- 
ed by James P Baxter. Ill, is 
sending 2000 letters lo registered 
Independanl and Republican vot- 
ers in the area urging their sup- 
port. Its appeal centers on the 
statement that "El.senhower is 
not only the man to unify the 
country and restore strength and 
prestige to the national admin- 
istration, but is also the man to 
bring us lasting peace".

Vote on McCIellan Plan 
A Vital Necessity 

Action to proiiurtc tlio is.sue of total fiatcmity membership 
reached a i)eak last month with the all-collcire vote on the .stniif;ht 
bomice plan and then dropped almo.st out of e.xistence on the 
canii«i.s. Final examinations, the Trustees ainionncement of coni- 
mun:'l freshman eatinij and plans for a Student Union, house- 
part\, hell week, and the Rmuaine misfortune have all eomhined 
to draw tlie center of campus attention a\\a\' from the (|ni'Stion of 
coinplete fraternitv membership. Hut this issue, this matter of 
vital concern just will not be forced into the baeku;ronnd for lonjr. 
.Afjaii the issue has come to the forciiround. 

(.'ertainlv the Leai!;e for Total Membership has a \alid arj^u- 
nienf for proposing another student \'otc on the 100'/ member.ship 
P'()hl"ni at this time. Nothini; in the last \()te would indicate that 
the vote was an all inclusi\i' Note that determined that all wavs 
and means for this reform would be nnacci'iitable to Williams 
underjiradnates. jannarv's xote merel\- proved that the so-called 
"straight bounce |)lan" was not the most desired plan. In all fair- 
ness to the advocates of complete memberslu'i") who felt the straight 
bounce would lead to too i^reat a decree ol house strati! ication. 
another vote nmst be planned. This vote must determine whether 
there are enouL'h backers of a more egalitarian ]ilau to ]iut total 
membi'rship into effect. 

In view of the Trustees' action to institute deferred rushiui; 
and communal freshman dinius^, it becomes more imperative that 
a vote on a plan designed to eliminate lunise stratification be 
considered as sooji after the new Underijradnate Coimcil takes 
over on March 10 as jiossible. Such spe<'d is called for because 
of the limited amount of time between the time the 1952-53 
(Council jrnins control and the beninninsr of Sjirinn Vacation. 

Deferred rnshinn will obviouslv cause an increase in the 
percentage of frato'rnitv men from the nppi'r three classes. \Vhen 
the new svstem of sophomore rushing uoes into effect, both the 
houses and the men beinu rn.shed will know more about the 
actual situation of house ranking. The houses will know which are 
the most desirable men, and the rnshees will know which houses 
are the best. Athletes will be drawn to athletic houses to a jr'eiiti'i' 
degree than is now the case. All the stratification that will result 
from deferred rushing will be harmful to the Williams social 
system. Perhaps the greatest advantage of Freshmen Week pledg- 
ing is the residtant comiiarative etiualitv of houses, where each 
is a small cross section of Williams as a whole. Broadening of 
liersonalitv and contacts with all tyjies of students are the great- 
est arguments against stratification. If some egalitarian plan such 
as the McCIellan Plan is not seriously considered and ado))ted 
before deferred rushing becomes a realitv, the advantages which 
Williams now enjoys under non-stratification will be lost. Wi- 
urge the present Undergiaduate Council and its successor to 
consider that deferred rushing will bring stratification unless the 
student body accepts some e<|ualizing plan before the fall of 1953. 




Letters to the Editor 



Union Exterior 

Fehruarv 9, 1952 
To the Editor of the Record: 

Congratulations on vour sensible and moderate editorial "Tlie 
New Union". I particularlv like vour idea that "the huilding must 
he attractive cnouaJi to make stmlenln use it jrom the utart". 
(italics mine). 

In inv opinion, "attractive" needs to be interpreted primarily 
in terms of those who will use this building, not in terms of a 
theory of architecture which has jilagued this campus for aiiprox- 
imately a hundred years. Why is it that the Art Department 
caimot in good conscience, much as it would like to do so, wax 
enthusiastic about the design of anv building erected for Williams 
students since the Lawrence Hall octagon (1846)? Lehman Hall 
and the S[)uash Comts, jierhaps; the interior of the Theater, cer- 
tainly, but as certainly not its exterior. The Science Labs are 
excellent remodelling jobs, and the Biology Lecture Hall is 
exactly what I mean by 'attractive", though the outside does not 
create anv such expectation. 

We have been bewitched (bothered and bewildered) by 
Georgian and Gothic dreams. We have taken an attitude which 
would have prevented, in their day. the invention of the very build- 
ings we have sought to imitate. But even good imitations (Chajiin) 
sometimes make inefficient solutions for modern use. Fortunately 
for the futme. today'.s costs preclude a repeat of such extrava- 
gances. 

Perhaps I am mistaken, but 1 believe there is strong and 
growing .student sentiment (bv no means a merely local peculiar- 
ity) for a fine modern building on the Williams campus. Not one 
of glass and concrete, but one showing a fresh use of traditional 
materials deriving from the needs of the building itself. To 
be clear, I mean a building like the new MIT dormitory, rather 
than tlie new CJraduate Center at Harvard. We could have had 
a theater comparable to Wisconsin's, outside as well as inside. 
Now we have another chance in the Student Union, and the site 
chosen olfers fascinating po.ssibilities. Vassar. plagued by much 
worse architecture than ours, has an interesting new dormitory 
whicli, I am informed, the girls would rather live in than in the 
several earlier confections. 

Tlie most important thing about our new Student Union 
if seems to me, is that it should be attractive to Williams students. 
its exterior as well as its interior. Tliose of us who are older 
.shoidd remember that time marches on - even in institutional 
architecture where it is likely to be very heavy-footed. 

Sincerely, 

S. Lane Faison, Jr. 



Open Letter to the UC 

Fchrnary 28, 1952 
Open Letter to the UC: 

liie piupose of this letter is to request that the UC sponsor 
another vote on the (|nestioii of total niembcr.ship in fraternities, 
this time under a plan which will be more acceptable to all 
parties - tlie Mctllellaii Plan.' 

We teel that since the last college vote, two very ijnporlant 
lacts are evident. Tlu' first is that niaiiy votes against the plan 
»l total menihersbip were not against total nienibeisliip, hut rather 
against the "straight hoimcc system" which some advocates ol 
total membership could not, in all good conscience, accept as an 
inprovemeiit. 

The second is the action of the Board of Trnst<-es which in- 
stitutes deferred rushing and freshman cDinniniial i-ating as ol 
J953. Assmning about fifty men to he about the avcrag<' imniinuj]. 
which each liou.se at Williams needs to break even on dining room 
and kitchen costs, the Trustee clirectivo means that the lift)- men 
Number 7 '"'"'.' ^^' *'.''^'-'" f''"'" t'l'' upper three classes instead of, as prev ious- 
ly, from four classes. Allowing lor some .scholastic mortality and 
other reasons for dropping out of college this means that each 
Iraternity must then pledger// k'asi twenty men at the proper time, 
and thus insure their own financial sob ency. 

This means, in effect, that iwaih/ all Williams men will in 
the future be pledged to houses; probably no more than ten or 
fifteen men will be left out each year. We'fi'i'l that a veiy strong 
case could be made out, iu the name of humanity, iinre and 
simple, tor the adoption of total rushing. For the "left-outs" after 
1953 tlie situation will be nearly iutoleralile; instead of having 
about twenty per cent of the college to consort with, these men 
will be 111 the muiority of about five per cent. They will he iirae- 
ticaliy incapable of any activity, and we fed, seriously emotionally 
ctamaged by knowing that they are the one man out of twenty 
wlio was considered impossible to live with by fiffeeii different 
ami imlependeut luiits of theii fellow Williams liieu. 

Furthermore, absorbing these men nierely means that each 
louse would hav e to take only one, or at most two more men We 
leel that the true Ix-iiefits of Iraternity living and .sociability will 
not be (hiniaged by the addition of these one or two men since 
111 tact the traternity's Ireedom to reject is alrc^ady seriously ini- 
pairetl l)v delerred rushing, which in turn hirces large delegations 

We leel that adoption ol total uieiiibership will serve to im- 
prove the campus situation gi-nerallv ami .stop the harmhil publi- 
city cucnlatmg that "Williams thinks this is LS.52 and not 19.52" 
We leel that this adoption hv the student body of Williams will 
not <>i,lv impair the Iraternitv s benehts to anv serious extent but 
will improve the academic and .social climate here on campus 

-Vccordingly we are suggesting that the UC vote to have a 
campus-wide vote on the .McCIellan plan, and endorse this plan 
It will, we leel, retain a certain amount of selectivity which men 
111 ratennties so want, while at the same time it will not result iu 
a dangerous stratification or "typing of houses," such as many 
feared the straight hounce would. The .McCIellan Flan comes 
closest we feel to recouciling those two inipoitaiit points of "iiicln- 
sion instead of exclusion" and fuller campus dcmocracv, on the 
one hand and tlir' right of a man to choose his friends, and select 
Ins Inothers . on the other which we will continue to respect in 
accordance with this plan.

Wfl.vter"' ^""'""'"^ ''''"''' '" "'"'"'" '" "" "/"'" letter to President 

r R '1 IT, '.'■"'.''■/" "■"■"'',' '^'''"'' '^2 Ex-president of the former

problem. I beiewitb respectfully submit a suggestion that might 
help implement the Fnistees' decision. 

It seemed that die only tiling that was holding hack deferred

iiispectmg the fac;ilities iu Curric-r Hall it looks as if that hall

fa 1 of 1952 ,nste:.d of the fall of 19.53. Under this plan all noii- 
iithhates would eat in Currier Hall. 

If this isn't ])ossihle then it might be feasible to feed the 
upper class ii.m-aHiliates in the Alumni House. If the kitchen 
taei ities m the Abunni J-Iouse aren't ade(|iiate then the College 
could fix It up on a temporarv basis until such time that the new 
eating hall would be huilt. 

In offering this suggestion it might appear that I am being 
impulsive and a hit over anxious, but this is because I and others 
liave been frustrated in our attempts to see the will of the College 
community put into effect. I am writing this letter with the hope 
that the suggestions made when put into effect would relieve the 
present situation and that it will jret fair consideration from you.

Ray's Praise 

^ . February 26, 1952 

To the Editor of the RECORD: 

I noticed that the distinguisbed name of C. Elliot is buried 
way down among the "a.ssociate editors" of your worthy journal. 
Because of the rich contribution he made to your February 23rd 
issue in his brilliant article on sex-as-hiiind-in-Spring-Street win- 
dows we think he should be summarily elevated to .some point 
nearer to the one you so deservingly hold. 

Of course in this instance we are prejudiced, hut we think 
that articles as pithy as this help much to give the HRCX)RD a 
special kind of color which it has sadly lacked in the drah days 
of the recent past. 

Everyone liere was deeply appreciative of the spirit, accuracy 
and fine jmirnalistic style that the aforementioned Mr Elliot 
blendtHl together so neatly in this small masterpiece. I

THE WILLIAMS RECORD SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1852 



HEADLINER 



By KolUKlaii 

111 Seplember, 1950, the WilUiims College athletic staff was blessed 
with the addition of former Olyiripic tompetltor, Ralph Townsend, 
who was appointed to fill the capacity of sklinit coath. Today, after 
only a >«''>«■ *"<• " '"'"■ ""^ "niastermlnd" is on the verge on closing 
out one of the most successful skiing seasons Williams College han 
known in many a year. 

Replacing former coach, Jim Parker, Townsend also assumed 
handlinK of frosh football with Bobby Coombs and this Spring, he 
will take over reins for the varsity lacrsse team. Hwever, It Is the 
winter sport In which the diminutive mentor excels. 

With the loss of only Captain McWilliams from last year's squad 
(and with the arrival of long awaited decent skiing conditions) Town- 
send has been able to bring along and develop many of the potentially 
talented men into top-notch performers. Sophomore Joe Foote has 
reifived well-deserved praise for his remarkable improvement in both 
the cross country and jumping events. Bob Tucker is another who has 
eorne a long way under the two-year tutelage of Ilalph Townsend, a- 
long with a host of others. 

Placlni! sixth at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival was. In Ralph's 
mUid, the hiKh point of the sea.son, as the Purple were able to pull 
ahead of two Class A teams, SI. Lawrence and Syracuse. Captain Ned 
Collins, and Pete Callahan w,.>re both Instrumental in the team's top 
showing. 

Last week at Lyndonville, Vermont, without the services of the 
injured Ned Collins, the WilMams stalwarts successfully defended 
tlic c;iass B title, finishing well aliead of the runner-up Bowdoin crew. 
Both the jumping and cross country events were monopolized by Wil- 
liams winners, as the Ephmen for the second year in a row earned a 
pliue in the Class A finals. 

Tills week-end finds Coacli Townsend leading Ills crew of "snow- 
men" into the A ranks where tlie Ephmen will oppose nine top col- 
lege teams. Middlebui-y, Dartmouth. New Hampslilre, Vermont, Sy- 
racuse. St. Lawrence and R.P.I, are the other U.S. entries, while from 
north of the border in Canada come stars from McGlll and Laval Uni- 
versities. Should the William'; men place in any one of the first 
seven spots, then they would be automatically eligible for Class A 
rating come next winter. 

Townsend feels that the team spirit this year has been exception- 
ally high and he could not emphasize enough that "the success 
axhievcd by the skiing team this year has been duo to th fact that 
they have worked together as a unit, as a group, — as a team. Indi- 
vidualism (tempting as it may bei and all the glory that goes with 
heing the Individual star have been sacrificed for teamwork!" And 
jjisl take a look at the results: a very bright showing at Dartmouth, 
a victory at Lyndonville, and high hopes for success against the top 
skiing powers of the East. 

The cioss country and downhill competition will be running at 
While Face Mountain. close-b.\ New York's beautiful Lake Placid. 
The slalom and jumping events take place at Canton, N. Y., sight of 
St. Lawrence University. 

Hopes a re that Ned Collins' wrenched knee will be well healed 
for the non-intercollegiate "Harvard Slalom" at Bromley on March 9.

Three battle which will close out 
the mat season at each school. 

Dethroned as Little Three 
champions for the first time In 
four years by Wesleyan last Sat- 
urday, the Purple Varsity Is still 
.seeking its first win as against 
five losses. Amherst numbers a-

Frosh Racquetmen Face 
Jeff Yearlings Today 

Tuesday, Feb. 16 — Travelling 
to Middletown today the Wil- 
liams freshman squash team 
easily whitewashed a weak Wes- 
leyan .squad 9-0. The victory 
enabled the yearlings to cap- 
luie one leg on the Little Three 
crown. The Wesmen were pow- 
erless against the Eph frosh, 
dropping all twenty-seven 
games played. 

This afternoon the fresh- 
men will try for the Little Three 
championship, playing host to 
an Amherst team which has al- 
so trounced Wesleyan by a 9-0 
score. With few changes. Coach 
Chaffee expects to send the 
same men into the Amherst 
match who swept the Cardinal 
encounter. The provisional 
lineup comprises Kesel, Cluett, 
Lindsay, Wierdsma, Schenck, 
Heppenstall, Quinn. Forten- 
baugh and T. WTilte.

Williams Mermen Meet Amherst 
For Little Three Championship 



Martin, Jones, Rogers 
Spark Purple Squad 
In Sprints, Diving 

by Ted Oviatt 

Saturday, March 1— The Wil- 
liams varsity swimmers travel to 
Amherst today for their final 
meet of the season. The Little 
Three championship will be at 
stake, since both teams have 
trounced Wesleyan. 

Past performances seem to give 
the Ephmen a slight edge, but the 
rivalry between the two schools is 
always sufficient to foil compara- 
tive time predictions. Both teams 
made good showings against the 
Bowdoin natators and lost by 
slight margins. 

Martin Favored 

Williams star Dick Martin is 
expected to bring home victories 
in both the 50 and the 100 yard 
free-style, although he will en- 
counter strong opposition from 
Tate and Krudenier of Amherst. 
John Belash and Sam Klmberly 
serve to give added strength to 
the Eph sprint department. 

Two outstanding performances 
against Wesleyan last week give 
Williams high hopes in two other 
events. If they can repeat these 
feats, Don Jones in the 220 yard 
free-style and Max Rogers in the 
diving are likely winners.

Ephmen to Defend 
Little Three Crown 

by Ned HepenstaU '55 

Wednesday, Feb. 27— The Wil- 
liam.s squash team split two mat- 
ches this week, travelling to Wes- 
leyan yesterday to trounce the 
Cardinals, 9-0, in an effort to re- 
tain their Little Three champion- 
ship, but bowing to a visiting 
Yale team 7-2 today. 

A highly-touted Yale team 
came lo Williamstown with a re- 
cord .showing but one loss, a 5-4 
defeat at ihe hands of Army, 
which had in turn beaten the Ephs 
G-3. Oi added interest was the 
attraction of the Squires-Murphy 
match, which determined the 
number two-seeded man in the 
comiim intercollegiate matches. 
Murphy Beats Squires 

A packed gallery was on hand to 
watch Dick Squires, Purple ace, 
battle Blair Murphy, Yale's top 
man. Squires had beaten Murphy 
over Clirlstmas vacation, but had 
lost in the intercoUegiates last 
year. Murphy bested Squires in 
three straight games, 15-14; 15-11, 
and 15-6, keeping the upper hand 
in every game with his aggressive 
game and tricky corner shots. 

"Soapy" Symington, playing 
number two, beat Ewing of Yale 
3-1 in a hard-fought match. 
"Soapy's" varied serves and cross 
court game kept Ewing on 
the defensive all throughout the

Clinton, N.Y., Feb. 27 — Hamilton's 
Blue and White sextet came from 
behind tonight with a three goal 
final frame to pace an underman- 
ned Williams liockey team 5-2 
The win was Hamilton's fifth of 
the season, and the second at the 
expense of the Bellmen. 

Showing their customary first 
period strength, the Ephs scored 
after only a minute of scrimmage 
as John Beard streaked inside 
Hamilton defensemen to slap in a 
Pike-Harvey pass set up. Bod 
Starke, Purple goal tender, shut 
out the opposition until at 2:03 
of the second frame Wing Tom 
May hit the cage with screen shot. 
Beard Nets Second 

Less than three minutes remain- 
in the second period when the 
Williams first line followed a tie- 
breaking Hamilton marker with a 
goal of its own. Beard, again tak- 
ing passes from Pike and Harvey, 
rifled a corner shot through goal- 
ie Gauder's pads to even the count 
at 2-2. 

With injuries having cut the 
Williams line up to a single de- 
fense and two lines without re- 
placements, the team's chronic 
3rd period collapse was inevitable

Fate of Oldest College Observatory

■"I'Ir' lirst pi'iiiiaiii'iit Anu'iicaii ohsi'iAutorv is still staiidiiiH," 
Professor T. 11. Salloril proudly proi'laiiiicd in lfiS,S, in an ailclress

and, while astrouoMiital activities takt' place in niodeiu (|Maiteis 
ill the jilivsics hiiikhiin, it leinaiiis a curious and little-known 
part of the caiiipns' past. 

The explorer will find on the first iloor a central rotunda and 
two winjis. The heinis|)herical ceiliuii of the rotunda is dark blue, 
and paper stars pasted on it represent Williams' limited claim to it's 

beine the oldesi pianetariuai O — — • 

this country. Antique astronom- 
ical equipment is scattered about; 
some of the original instruments 
ai-e still in the west wing. 
Dome Lost 
Up in the revolving dome is a 
telescope mounted there in 1852; 
the fate of the orisiinal one, and 
also of the hemispherical dome 
which the present water-tower 
affair has since replaced, remain 
one of the astronomy depart- 
ment's unsolved mysteries. 

A look out the window tells the 
reason for the building's present 
d.suse. Trees hide the southern 
skies, while at night the lights of 
the campus and Spring Street 
make observation in other direc 
lions impossible. Most of the ma- 
teriiii, wonderful in its day, is 
now outdated, and the building 
coniuins no heat or running wa- 
ter, i'he last class before the move 
to the physics building met there 
in liij fall of 1950. 

Once Busy 
Eijcted at a cost of $2,075 in 
1838, largely through the efforts 
of professor Albert Hopkins, who 
quarried some of the stones for 
ils walls himself, it once stood in 
the center of the Berkshire Quad 
and was the scene of much ac- 
uiviiy. Although the off-campus 
I'ield Memorial Observatory stole 
its thunder for a while after 1882, 
that fell into disuse, and in 1922 
astronomical activity moved back 
to the old building. In the mean- 
time, it had been moved to its 
present position, where the Smed- 
ley Terrace was built around it 
in 1908. 

Plans have been suggested for 
preserving this distinquished relic 
as an astronomical museum. The 
central rotunda could be convert- 
ed into a small-scale plantearium 
while the wings might house dis- 
plays of Early American instru- 
ments. But, at present there is 
little activity in the oldest as- 
tronomical observatory still in 
existance in the United States. 



Wednesday, Feb. 27— "A Career 
in Banking", a speech given to- 
night in the Chi Psi House by 
Herbert Holden '42, Assistant 
Cashier of the National City Bank 
of New York, was the first in a 
series of vocational guidance talks 
sponsored by the Placement Bu 
reau. These talks will be given 
periodically by alumni who have 
been successful in their various 
fields, and a question and dis- 
cussion period will follow each. 

President James Phinney Bax- 
ter III '14 and Paul Wright '27 
nead of ihe math department at 
Groton School, will be the princi 
pal speakers on the topic. "Tea 
ch«ng as a Career", to be discussed 
on Wednesday, March 5, at 7; 30

and college teaching will be cov- 
ered by President Baxter, while 
Mr. Wright, a member of long 
standing of the Groton family, 
will iittack the problem from the 
piep school side. 



Lerner . . . 

Stevenson of Illinois appear as the 
most popular candidates if Mr. 
Truman declines the nomination. 

Dr. Lerner, who said, "I'm just 
mild about Harry," named his 
choices for the Democratic nom- 
ination: Justice William O. Doug- 
las of the Supreme Court, and for- 
mer OPA administrator Chester 
Bowles. 

Stressing the fact that all can- 
didates are bound by an environ- 
ment of Cold War diplomacy- and 
economics. Dr. Lerner condemned 
the present arms race as the 
world's most serious problem. He 
stated, however, that future his- 
torians will praise the Truman 
administration for its vigorous 
policy, citing the Atlantic Pact, 
NATO, and the Marshall Plan as 
especially strong points. 

In closing. Professor Lerner rec- 
ommended that the U. S. level oft 
its re-armament program, make 
use of economic and ideological

Snow Brightens 
Sheep Hill Hopes 

Canning Feels Ski Slope 
May Not Lose Money 

Monday, Feb. 25— Gordon Can- 
ning '53, student manager of the 
Sheep Hill ski run, announced to- 
day ihat the local slope may be 
able to pay tor itself this winter 
for the first time in three years. 
Shjep HUl Wi.s formerly operated 
oy tiie Williams Outing Club, but 
was later turned over to college 
administration because of the 
large losses incurred in recent 
years. 

Poor conditions in the past few 
years have strictly curtailed the 
amount of skiing in this locality, 
allowing only five of an expected 
forty-two days last year. The 
management of the run was op- 
pressed with similar conditions 
this year until the advent of the 
phenomenal flurry which blan- 
keted illiamstown two weeks ago. 

Last weekend proved to be a 
blessing as 280 skiers Invaded the 
slopes to test and perfect their 
abilities. Response to night skiing 
last Friday did not reach expec- 
tations, but the management plans 
to continue this opportunity on 
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday 
nights as long as there is suffi- 
cient snow.

Phelps to Presidency 

Tuesday, Feb. 26— The Tra- 
vel Bureau held its annual e- 
lection of officers today at 5:30 
in Jesup Hall. Elected president 
was Charles Phelps '53, a mem- 
ber of Sigma Phi. The other 
two officers are John Mabie 
■54, vice president, and Steve

ger. 



Hockey . . . 

Starke at 1:11 to give his team 
a one goal margin. 

George Crowley, wing for the 
second Hamilton line, scored at 
mid-period, beating Starke on a 
long shot from the left side of the 
rink. At 19:25 the third goal of 
the period, picked up by Tom 
May. concluded the scoring with 
Williams trailing 5-2. 

Assuming that weather per- 
mits, the team will take on Nor- 
wich at the Cole Field rink Sat- 
urday night at 7:30. Having drop- 
ped an earlier encounter to Nor- 
wich 7-2, the team will have to 
flght to win this one. 



Swimming . . . 

swimming in the number two spot 
for Amherst in this event, while 
Dave Byerly will carry the Wil- 
liams colors. 

Geitner of Amherst and Rick ■ 
Jeffrey will battle it out in the 
200 yard breast-stroke, while 
Baum of Amherst and Douglas of 
Williams will be equally close for 
the third spot. 

Coach Muir feels that the out- 
come of the meet could well be de- 
cided by the final relay. Although 
Amherst, with Waste. Geitner, and 
Tate, will be very strong in the 
opening medley, the power of the 
Williams aggregation makes this 
race a toss-up. 

The 400 yard relay will be an- 
other close one, and this provides 
an exciting setting for the event 
that perhaps will decide the Little 
Three championship. 

Frosh Underdogs 

At the same time the Eph 
freshmen will oppose the Lord 
Jeff yearlings in a Little Three 
contest. Amherst has the edge, but 
the performances are close enough 
so that anything can happen. 

Pete Hunt appears to be the best 
in the field in the 100 yard free 
style. In addition Gene Latham in 
the 200 yard free-style and Eric 
Gustafson in the 200 yard breast- 
stroke are also possible Eph win- 
ners. 



Players . . . 

less than eight monologues. In 
Jie guise of J. Robert Dietz Ar- 
nolph is both easily comprehend- 
ed and directly sympathetic. In- 
asmuch as Mollere wrote no ex- 
tensive stage directions, Dietz' in- 
terpretation was extremely ori- 
ginal and high-handed. Bits of 
Da.siness such as his ladder climb, 
cane waving, and variety of ex- 
pressive motions made the lines 
seem even funnier than the way 
Mollere wrote them. 

Every once in a while we run 
into one of those extremely talene- 
ed performers whose very pre- 
sence on stage, tor no apparent 
reason at all, is enough to send us 
into paroxysms of laughter. Louis 
Camuti. Jr. as the notary falls in- 
10 thi.s category. Perhaps it was 
his cal-likc walk, his facial ex- 
pressions, or the way he spoke 
nis lines; I'm not quite .sure 
which; but Mr. Camuti was cer- 
tainly a very funny fellow. 

The .sporting cast headed by 
William Kearns as Alain, Bren- 
nan Moore as Horace, and Pat 
Barnett as Georgette were equal- 
ly effective. They gave the pro- 
duction a pace and rhythm which 
the original verse version must 
have had considerable difficulty 
to sustain. The delightful variety 
of walks, capers and gambols dis- 
played by this dynamic group 
was original and hilarious.

New Amherst Total Rushing Plan 
Stresses Flexible Quota System 



Proposal Secures 
Conditional Favo 



Undergraduate Leaders 
Vote Approval, 28-14 



by Charles Elliott '54 

Amherst, Feb. 25— A petition foi- 
total rushlnn won conditional ap- 
IHOval by undergraduate leaders 
here tonliiht. The new plan em- 
phasizes the fact that no house 
is forced to take men they do not 
want. 

Designed by three upperclass- 
men. the proposed proRram in- 
tends to miike It mathematically 
Ijosslble for all freshmen who de- 
.siie to afflllat* with a fraternity 
to Join a house this year. 
New Quota System 

A revised .system of determln- 
iiiR quotas constitutes the basis 
of the plan. Any freshmen de- 
.siiing to Join the Lord Jeff Club, 
Amherst's counterpart of the old 
Garfield Club, are free to do so at 
any time during the rushmg sea- 
.soii, which starts Sunday. 

Under the program submitted, 
no change in the present rushing 
procedure would take place until 
I he final night when appointments 
for the last rushing and bidding 
are made. 

Quota Determination 

At this time a quota is deter- 
mined by dividing the number 
of men desiring to affiliate with 
fralernities by 13, the number of 
liou.ses at Amherst. If this num 
ber of men is not evenly divisible 
by 13. the quota is set so that 
the number of men left over, 
termed a surplus. Is no more than 
12. 

After setting the quotas, the 
legular rushing .schedule would 
then continue until only two pla- 
ces remained open in the whole 
ystem. These places could both 
be in one house or divided between 
two houses. 

Pledging of Surplus 

Pledging of the surplus would 
occur by raising the quota so that 
the number of the surplus would 
exactly equal the vacancies thus 
created In the houses. If the sur- 
IJliis left over after determining 
ih( original quota were 12, the 
quotas of 12 houses would be

Hershey Sets March 10 Deadline 
For Selective Service Examination 



Mttirmen Capture 
TenthConsecutive 
Little Three Title 



National Head(|uarteis of tlie Selective Service System an- 
nounced that applications for the .April 24 Selective Service quahfi- 
catioii Test must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 10. 
(Jeiieral Lewis li. Hershey s ollice estimates that upwards to 
1(X),0(M) iiieii will take this test, which will be that last given dur- 
ing the current academic year. The results will he used by the 
local boards in deciding the students' deferment status. 
Applicat ion Instructions 
following the instructions of a bulletin which may be ob- 
tained along with tile application, the student .should fill out his 
a|)plicatioii immediately and mail it in the envelope providetl. It 
should be empliasiziil that oiih those students who have not yet 

O taken the deferment test are eli- 
gible. 

Many students have been con- 
fused in differentiating between 
the 1-S and 2-S deferments. The 
2-S classification which is con- 
sidered on the basis of class 
standing or the Qualification test, 
is discretionary on the part of the 
local board and may be granted 
each successive year. 

The 1-S classification is provi- 
ded for by law. Any college stu- 
dent ordered to report for induc- 
tion while satisfactorily pursuing 
a full time course Is entitled to 
this deferment until he finishes 
his academic year. He may be 
given only one such deferment, 
and it is his duty to notify his lo- 
cal board of his status when he 
receives the order for induction. 



UC Hears Final 
Committee Report 

Entertainment Committee 
Announces Dissolution 



Monday, March 3— The Un- 
dergraduate Council armounced 
tonight that its Entertainment 
Committee had been dissolved be- 
cause of failure to direct the social 
life of the college effectively. In 
its report the committee gave four 
reasons for its failure. 

First, the committee lacked in- 
fluence because not all social u- 
nlts were repi^sented. Second, 
many of the reports and recom- 
mendations submitted to the ad- 
ministration were not acted upon. 
Third, the committee could not 
enforce their rules. It could only 
recommend action to the houses. 
Finally, the problem of the mflux 
of students from other colleges 
during housepartles could not be 
met successfully. 

Recommends Party Rules 

In the report of the Discipltoe 
Committee new rules for house- 
parties and disciplinary action 
were recommended. The playtag 
of bands and organized drinking 
on the Sunday of houseparty 
would be abolished because of the 
complaints of several townspeople, 
if the new regulations go toto ef- 
fect. The committee also stated In 
its report that, while the house 
rules concerning drtaking and cur- 
few need not be changed, they 
should be strictly enforced. 

The committee also felt that 
the responsibility for conduct dur- 
ing houseparty should not fall 
solely on the house president. 



Martin Sets N. E. Mark 
In 50 Yd. Freestyle, 
Pool Record In 100 

by Jack O'Kieffe '54 

Amherst, March 1 — Winning 
seven out of nine events, the Wil- 
liams College swimming team 
crushed the Amherst mermen 48- 
27 at Pratt Pool this afternoon. 
Dick Martin broke records in the 
50 and the 100 yard free-style e- 
vents to pace the Purple swim- 
mers to their tenth straight Little 
Three Championship. 

Williams started in fine style, 
taking the first five events. Dave 
Byerly and Co-captains Rick Jef- 
frey and John Belash won the 
300 yard medley relay. Don Jones 
came from behind to edge Don 
Wasle of Amherst In the 220 yard 
free-style, turning In a fast 2.15.2. 
Martin Sets N. E. Record 

The New England record for the 
50 yard free-style was eclipsed 
when Martin won the event in 23.1 
knockmg one-tenth of a second off 
the former mark. Previously he 
had tied the record when he did 
23.2 in the Springfield meet. 

Max Rogers and Al Post formed 
a neat "one-two punch" in the 
diving, taking eight points in the 
event. Their efforts gave Williams 
a comfortable margin of 23-9. 
Pool Mark Broken 

Martin, deciding that one rec- 
ord was not enough for an after- 
noon's work proceeded to set a 
new Pratt Pool mark for the 100 
yard tree-style. Turning in 51.2, 
he came within one-tenth of a 
second of his own New England 
record. Jeff Mercer Tate barely 
edsed out Belash for second place. 

The Sabrinas took their only 
fir.st in an mdividual event when 
Mike Cabour beat Byerly in the 
200 yard back-stroke. Sophomore 
Charlie Douglas put on a flne ex- 
hiljitlon when he nosed out Cap- 
tain Rick Jeffrey m the 200 yard 
breaststroke, making it another 
1-2 nnlsh for WiUlams, 
Jeffs Win Relay 

Joe Worthington managed to 
edge teammate Jones to take the 
440 yard freestyle. The meet look- 
ed like a rout until the Amherst 
400 yard freestyle relay team took 
tlic last event. 

The next meet for Coach Bob 
Muir's natators who finished the 
season with a 6-2 record, will be 
the New England Championships. 

Don Jones, 220 and 440 yard 
freestyle winner last year, will be 
defendtag his titles in this meet.

Selectmen Seek New Policeman For Williamstown; 
Financiers Slice RoyaPs Request For Two Men 



Chief Makes Appeal 
On Population Basis 

by Kreac Donovan '54 

Saturday, March 1 — Chief Ro- 
yal announced that the Williams- 
town Finance CImmittee has ap- 
proved the addition of another 
officer to the local police force. 
Although the new man has not 
yet been named. It is expected that 
the Board of Selectmen will be- 
gin shortly to consider applica- 
tions. 

Originally, Royal had requested 
two additional officers. He noted. 
In his 1951 Police Dept. Report 
that "standard police procedure 
is to have one officer per thou- 



sand population." The chief went 
on to explain that he and his two 
assistants could not adequately 
supervise the area's 5,000 popula- 
tion. 

Partial Solution 

Town financiers, after exam- 
ining the matter, decided to halve 
the Police Department's request. 
Royal had previously revealed 
that the addition of one man 
would "partially solve the pro- 
blem." 

Currently, the Wllliamstown Po- 
lice Force consists of Chief Royal, 
Officer Melvin F. Thomason and 
Officer Stephen L. Polrot. Besides 
their Water Street office, the force 
is equipped with a station trans- 
mitter, and two 1950 Pontiac radio 



cars. 

Standard procedure for the pre- 
sent staff is to have two officers 
on duty at all times, one cruising 
in a radio car and the other in 
the office. 

A fact little known by th com- 
munity is that Wllliamstown has 
one of the best trained small town 
police forces In the nation. Both 
officers are currently enrolled in 
an 11 week training course given 
by the Federal Bureau of Inves- 
tigation in North Adams. 

In addition to this program, the 
force makes use of the State Po- 
lice Training School In Framing- 
ham, which offers the only state 
course in the country run exclu- 
sively for municlpallltes.

Thanks To The Alumni 

The Executive Clomuiittec of the Society ol Aliiinui has oll'ered 
the .'lunini House to the luiderf^radnates for their use nutil the 
new Student Union becomes a reality in the fall of 1953. Openiuf; 
this building to underpaduates is (|uite a break in tradition and 
is a sacrifice on the part of the ahnnni body wlio view the bnild- 
inj; traditionally as a sacrosanct area strictly olf bounds lor stu- 
dents. For its generous offer of its Willianistown !K'ad(|uarters, 
we niiist thank the E.xecutive Committee and the rest of die body 
of alunnii who are willing to see their building receive the hard 
use that undergraduates will give the center during the next fall 
and spring terms. We appreciate greatly tliis contribution by 
the alumni to die needs of undergraduate life at Williams. 

On the other side of the picture, undergraduates who will 
.see that the building receives a great deal of n.se, esiieciallv on 
weekends when informal dances may be held, must see to it that 
the building is taken care of during its one vear lease to the 
college student bodv. The board of facultv and student governors 
should be chosen soon after the new Undergraduate Council 
convenes next week and should begin planning the activities that 
will be carried on in the center so tliat inaximnm use can be 
gained from this contribution from die Society of .MnmiLi. The 
efficiency with which the Alumni House student center is run will 
prove a good test case for the new largei- building that will be 
constructed on [-"ark Street next vear. 

THE NEAREST FLICK I 



/)(/ Bruce I'ulmcr 
Wedncsdui/ and Tliursdcn/ I went away for the weekend but they 
made me write this anyway. Cal tells me he's got a reshowing of 
a niiddle-aged musical, "Royal Wedding". Song, dance and laugh- 
ter with aged Fred Astaire, |ane Powell, Peter ( l-look-like-a-Yalie) 
Lawford and, of all people, Winnie Clmrcliill's daughter Sarah. 
How she got in the picture 1 haxe nu idea, but it's a good show. 
For the low-brows, Ed Wyun's son. Keenan injects huniorous-ty[)e 
stuff. Everybody gets manietl but Keenan, he's the comic, you 
see. The only comics that get married and live happily etc. are 
Hob HoiH' and Red Skelton. Kennan never gets married. Faultless 
Fred nimble-foots through e\ervthing from an Afro-Cuban stomp 
to a Viennese waltz witli equal grace. Some guys just never giow 
old. Jane Powell gets olf some ni^per-register warbles and a few 
duets witii Fred. Pretty good plot for a musical with technicoloi- 
and all the works. Huge sets and a cast of millions. Not C|uite as 
good as "American in Paris", but pretty fair. 

The double feature "The Galloping Major" makes the whole 
business a pretty great show. This is a kind of different "Tight 
Little Island", lots of the same |5eople, different story. Horses 
instead of booze, needless to say it lacks something, but comes out 
as a pretty funny show. With die exce)ition of "The Lavender Hill 
Mob" I have seen very few British comedies that I thought were 
really uproarious.! don't think this is hilarious, but it has its mo- 
ments. The Boy Scout sincerity of some of the characters is more 
frightening dian amusing sometimes. Despite this there is a cer- 
tain amount of good humor; it makes a good show along widi 
"Royal Wedding". , , ,. 
Fridiiii and Saturdati Another double feature, "Rhubarb and 
"Cross-something-or-other". I've never seen either one so, but I \e 
read the book called "Rhubarb" by H. Allen Smith. All about eats 
and baseball teams and nymphomaniacs, prettv .strange story as 
you may guess. The storv was very fuim\- and the movie coidd be 
too - but vou know Hollywood. It had a lady weight-lifter in it 
and a cat, who inherits a fortune and a baseball team. People who 
have seen it told me that it's great, I think I'll see for myself. The 
co-feature stars Rhonda Fleming. She's stacked; take it from there 
— your guess is as good as mine^_ 



The Tippy Caiinmittee studying undergraduate |)robleins 
reeenflv urged to abolish all pre-initiatiim hazing, and to replace 
the traditional Hell Week with a Help Week. Such a modification 
would necessitate a change in one of the college's oldest traditions, 
.'\u opinion survey e<indncted by the UK(;()R1), reveals varied 
campus reaction to this proposal. 

Michael Lazor '53, AD- .\ constructive Hell Week is an excel- 
lent idea. It would be impractical, however, to attempt a substan- 
tial project if Hell Week were to last from only Thursday to 
Saturday. If Hell Week were reinstated as die first full week of 
the second term, it would be possible to aecom|)lisli something 
worthwhile. Instead of atteiii])ting local projects as did the betes. 
I would recommend improxcmeiits in the physical slant ol our 
fraternity. 

Dean Hiihcit H. II. hrooks- - I believe that the process of pre- 
paring a pledge for initiation as well as die ceremony itself should 
be one in which both the dignity of the indisidnal and the prestige 
of the house are enhanced. Few, if any, elements of die present 
Hell Week serve this purpose. The substitution of |)sycli(>logical 
pain for physical abuse is merely a subtler means of degrading the 
individual. 1 am delighted that the Tippy (Aiinniittee has empha- 
sized the need for a (iroeednre in which iiidi\'idual initiates, with- 
out loss of jjersonal freedom or dignity, join with odiers in a 
constructive common effort. 

Can/ Lcinhach '55 - DKF. - Now being in a position to look 
at it from both sides, 1 beliexe that Hell \Veek aptly serves its 
purpose of uniting die pledge classes of the \arious houses. But a 
Help Week would be beneficial to both the neighboring towns- 
people and college-town relations. Therefore the best solution 
would bi' a eomhinatioii of the two: A "help" program combined 
with inforiual meal-time hazing. 

Tom Ecaii.s '52, DU- 1 feel diat Hell Week, originally designed 
-o con\ ince the fraternity pledge ol bis sub-hunian status, should 
today serve the purpose of instilling cohesion and spirit in the 
pledge group. If this can be done wliile fostering eonstnictive 
ends siinultaiieously, so iniicli the better. 

Reverend A. Grant Noble - 1 diiiik. on the whole, that diere 
v\'as a completely different atinos|)bere in the days when Hell 
Week was started and that it is out of place now. I'"verythiiig else 
ill college life has changed and so should Hell Week. It is a phase 
of college life in which we are far behind. The college would be 
kee|)ing up with the times with a Help Week, .'\t any rate, some 
Form ot constrneti\'e work should be instituted for the good of 
the communitv, the college, and the bouses. 

Robert Cloiitier '54, Psi U - I am in favor of a constructive 
Hell Week. However, just what is constructive and what is not, is 
open to debate-. The Tippy Committee seems to be taking a dark 
view of some of the proceedings taking place during the tradi- 
tional hazing jieriod. Shovelling snow is indeed generous, but I fiiul 
it difficult to generate any sort of congenial spirit regarding the 
city of Nordi Adams, long a Foreign Legionaire outpost. Tliere is 
certainly room for more sober and constructive activities during 
Hell Week, but let's not overlook die constructiye nature of hazing 
itself, when it is moderated with iiitelligenee and a sense of 
humor. Let's eliminate the iron maiden and the thumb screws, 
but don t shovel snow for North .\dams!

by Ned Heppeiutal '55 

Saturday. Mar. 1 — The Williams 
Varsity Squash team trounced tlic 
vLsltlng Amherst nine 7-2 today to 
win their second straight Little 
■lliree Championship. The Fresh- 
iiiuii also won handily, besting the 
Lord Jell Frosh 8-1 and taking 
another Uttle Three Title. 

Dick Squires bi'eezed through 
Ins match with the Jells' top play- 
er Dickinson, outplaying him to 
win in three games. 15-12, 15-7. 
and 15-14. Chris Thoron moved 
up to play number two in place of 
Soupy Symington, who was un- 
able to play because of death in 
Uu' family, and had no trouble 
Willi Walter, taking him in three 
straight game.s. 15-6. 15-9, and 
16-7. 

Brownell, Georre Win 

I'he Purple continued to rack 
lip points as Captain Ray George 
and John Brownell easily topped 
their opponents in straight games. 
Tom Brucker. however, was upset 
by the JelTs' Gardner. 3-1. 

The Ephs came right back as 
lorn Adkins. Todd Tilllnghasl. 
unci Al Fulkerson all racked up 
\iins while the Jeffs were getting 
tliL'ir last point on Townsend's win 
over Hank Schrier. On Friday

to Harvard where Dick Squires 
will lead the squad into the Inter- 
collegiate Championships.

defeat 15-14 today at the hands

Saturday. Mar. 1— Cold weather 
save Couch Bell's win starved skat- 
ers the seeming advantage of play- 
ing tonight, for the first time this 
.sea.son. on "home ice". A hard 
skating Norwich sextet was too 
much for the Ephs. however, as 
the 7-2 final score in its favor 
duplicated the lesult of a previous 
encounter between the two clubs. 

In an effort to give more scor- 
ing potential to the team. Coach 
Bell attempted a line change 
wliich saw Captain Harvey shifted 
to the second line and Dewey 
Renolds elevated to the first. Four

Eoh Casers Seek 
Little Three Tie 
In Jeff Contest 



Ephs Could Gain Triple 
Tie by Downing Rivals 
In Year's Key Game 

In what is undoubtedly their 
most imiJortant game of the year, 
the Williams basketeers will meet 
the powerful Amherst cagemen 
Saturday at the Sabrina gym. 
Since a victory in this game will 
give the Ephs a triple tie for the 
Little Three down, the Purple will 
go all out to win this contest. 

When the two clubs met on Feb- 
ruary 9. it was the Sabrinas who e- 
merged the victors, but only after 
a fighting game. Despite the dis- 
advantage of playing on Amherst's 
home court, the Ephs are now gi- 
ven a good cliance to upset the 
Jeffs as a result of their fine 
sliowlng against Springfield. 
Ephs Win Two Straight 

Since the first Amherst game, 
the Ephmen have split four games. 
After dropping contests to Mld- 
dlebury and Wesleyan. the Shaw- 
men bounced back to nip W.P.I. 
in double overtime, and followed 
this with a one-point victory over 
Springfield. 

Amherst, however, enters the 
game fresh from a lopsided win 
over R.P.I, which they downed 
Saturday 70-46. Other Amherst 
games since the Williams con- 
test include wins over Wesleyan 
and Brown, and losses to Army 
and New Hampshire. The Cards 
have finished their Little Three 
season with a 2-2 mark. An Eph 
win Saturday would give both Wil- 
liams and Amherst the same 2-2 
mark, and would create a triple tie 
in the small school circuit.

Frosh Hoopsters Down Pittsfield; 
Humble Darrow School, Fort Dix 



Saturday. March 1 — Coach Bob- 
by Coombs' high-flying freshman 
basketball team added three more 
games to its win column this 
weekend. After downing Pittsfield 
High 56-47 last night, the yearling i 
hoopsters played a double-header 
this afternoon, beating Dari'ow | 
School 40-25 and trouncing Fort | 
Dix 66-44. I 

Pittsfield took a fast opening 
lead, but the Williams play im- 
proved greatly and the Purple led 
28-17 at the half way mark. When 
the high .schoolers' Jack Brennan 
fouled out early in the second 
stanza, the high scoring of Ron 



We conducted a poll of '41 graduates to find out: 

HOW HAVE THEY MADE OUT IN 
10 YEARS WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC? 



Here are the results; 

1. TRAINING. On ihe average, college graduates who 
came with General Electric in 1941 have laken between 
three and four Company-run training courses. Some have 
taken as manv as seven. These have included courses in 
business management and accounting, in sales, manufac- 
turing, and in many phases of engineering. Graduates re- 
port that this training has been a big help in furthering 
their careers. As one expressed it: "These courses arc 
essential to certain fields of endeavor — so essential I am 
still signing up for aildilioiial courses." 

Olhar comment*: "These programs are not the purely 
academic ones nf school days. They are practical, interest- 
ing, enable one In do a lietler job and enjoy il more.'' 
"The G-E Sales Training Program was definitely instru- 
mental in helping me find my present position." The train- 
ing programs have been a very essential link between my 
college training and my present work." "I wish I could 
have known then how valuable these courses were going 
to be later." "They ronlirmcd my original opinion that 
G.E. offered the best training for engineers.!! 

2. EXPERIENCE. These graduates have had an average 
of three different rotating assignments in various phases 
of tlie Company's work. A typical example included assign- 
ments in radio test, in motors and generators, and in the 
industrial control development laboratory. Graduates ex- 



press three main benefits derived from ihe G-E rotational 
job programs; 

a. They provided opportunities for deciding on a deft- 
nite field of interest. Typical comment: "I didn't know 
what kind of work I wauled to do. Rotating assignments 
helped me make up my mind." 

b. They conipleinenled college triiining with practical 
experience. "Tliey helped me reali/e methods of manu- 
facture and testing of different apparatus." 

c. They provided valuable associations and conlarts. 
"Changing jobs five times brought me a variety of friends 
and contacts I'm still grateful for." 

3. PROGRESS AND ADVANCEMENT. 88 per cent 
reported that they felt their progress in General Electric 
has been satisfactory. Nine per cent described their progress 
as "average, so-so,'I with three per cent reporting "un- 
satisfactory." 

Commenit: "It's been no Horatio Alger success story, 
but I feel pretty good about it." "If next 10 years have 
the same trend, will be very happy." "Satisfactory and 
entirely fair.'- "I don't know anyone on the outside who 
has done any better in the same time." "Satisfactory. 
I've been a G-E salesman, field engineer, and am now 
group leader in a G-E design engineering departmenl." 
"I have felt like a kid in a candy story owned by his 
father. There are lots of choices and his only problem it 
to pick out what he likes best.'* 



Wilson and Charlie Shaw paced 
the freshmen to their eventual 
victory. 

Bossidy Stars 
Larry Bossidy. Pittsfield's stocky, 
.six foot forward, was easily the 
outstanding man on the floor. A 
rough and tumble scrapper, he 
scored fifteen points on six baskets 
and three foul shots. 

In today's dual program. Coach 
Cooinub uacu a different squad for 
each game. Opening against Dar- 
row. the frosh quintet was led by 
Bert Sosnow who tallied 11 points. 
He was assisted in the Williams 
win by George Ramsey who hoop- 
ed nine and Fred O'Leary who 
dipped in seven counters for the 
freshman team. 

Fort Dix Falls 

The Coombsmen played what 
their coach referred to as 'their 
best half of the season" in the 
opening session against Port Dix. 
Completely overpowering the army 
company, the freshmen led 41-16 
when the mid- way buzzer sounded. 
High scorers in this tilt were Wil- 
son with 16. Broderick with 14, 
Laitman witli 13 and Henry with 
11 points. 

Playing for the Fort Dix quintet 
were two Williams graduates, Don 
Speck '51 and Howie Smith '51. 
Speck pbyed forward for last 
years Eph hoopsters, while Smith 
wa3 ii gjard on tlie varsity foot- 
ball .squad and played intramural 
basketball.

Ephs Clinch Victory On 
Basket by Depopolo; 
Smith, Shudt, Excell 



by Bill Redman '54 

Friday. Feb. 29— The Williams 
basketball team staved ofl a last 
quarter rally by Springfield to up- 
set the highly-touted Maroons, 58- 
57. in a thrilling contest tonight 
in Lasell Gym. The victory boosted 
the Ephs' i-ecord for the sea.son to 
the .500 mark, nine wins against 
the .same number of defeats. 

With less than two minutes re- 
maining and the score deadlocked 
at 55-55. Co-captain Ed Shudt 
converted on a toul shot. Shortly 
thereafter Bob Depopolo picked up 
a loose ball and sank a one-hander 
while falling away from the basket 
to put the Purple ahead 58-55. 

Ephs Put On Freeze 
Captain Jim Pelcher a consistant 
performer for Springfield all eve- 
ning, popped a jump shot with one 
minute remaining to bring the 
score to 58-57. At this point Wil- 
liams started a freeze, but after 
committing several fouls, the Ma- 
roons managed to tie up Shudt. 
A Springfield man took the tip 
but travelled with the ball and 
Williams retained possession for 
tlie few remaining seconds. 

The Ephs grabbed a quick 9-1 
lead in the first five minutes and 
were on top 17-10 at the quarter 
mark. Mike Lazor. Jack Hawkins, 
and Herb Smith were outstanding 
for the Ephs under the backboards 
while Walt Creer, Hawkins, and 
Smith led the scoring during this 
period. 

Sehutts Sparks Maroon Rally 

Rangy Al Schutts. high-scoring 
Maroon center, was held to a 
single field goal In this period as 
three Purple players converged on 
him whenever he received a pass. 
However in the second quarter he 
broke loose for 14 points on a 
series of jump shots and tip-ins 
to pace a flurry which gave 
Springfield a 37-36 halftime lead. 

In the third stanza the Wil- 
liams attack gained momentum,

THE WILLIAMS HECOKD WEDNESDAY, MAHCH 5, 1952 



Overwhelming Williamstown Vote 
Approves Fluoridination of Water 

hij Hill \V mile II 
l''liii)iiiliii;itiiiii. llic process ill adiliim lluoriuc to 'liiiikiiiii, 
water ti) pivM'iit tixitli lU'cav, was rcLviitlv appicnctl 1)V Williuiiis- 
towii voters 1)V a \i)te ol .'302 to (). A siiiii ol $1,500 was appro- 
priated to canv out the projjrain. 

Dr. Aiulreu H. Kiiowhind and Dr. Da\id A. Frank, hotli 
local dentists, spoke at the town iiieetiiii^ in support ol fluoridina- 
tion antl poinli'd (lot the siieiess whieh many othei eounnunities 
have had with similar proi;rains. Wisconsin has heen a leailer in 
this lield and has reported up to ()5 percent reduction in ca\ities 
anionic children. 

Objections to fluoridination . 

have decreased markedly in the 
last few years as the program has 
established itself as safe and ben- 
eficial. Those objections which 
still linger come mostly from 
those who feel thai any form of 
medication is a personal matter 
and should not be forced upon the 
individual. 

Dentists point out that, while 
fluorine can be applied directly 
10 llie teeth, it is not as effective 
as when added to drinking water 
and can never hope to benefit 
nearly as many people. These ben- 
efits stand out clearly in light of 
estimates which sliow that 75 per- 
cent of the population needs den- 
i.,l attention. 

Entirely Safe 

Flouridination may be carried 
out witli complete safety and has 
recpiv'ed the support of Dr. T, V, 
O. Limy. Director of Health at 
Vvill.ams. Fluorine is a natural 
elernjnt found in most drinking 
walci- although the amount is ap- 
pr,jx..nately one-tenth that need- 
ed to effectively prevent decay. 

Ihose who profit most from 
such a program are small child- 
ren whose teeth are still in the 
process of forming. Adults who 
have just started using fluoridin- 
ated water will benefit to some 
excent but it is the next genera- 
tion which will receive the great- 
j.^t protection. 

Low Cost 

The fluorine compound which 
is added to the water is relatively 
Simple and the process does not 
require a large initial investment. 

Although Williamstown voters 
have approved fluoridination, 
the program has yet to be 
passed by the Massachusetts Board 
of Health. Their approval, how- 
ever, is almost a certainty.

Leaders Vote 

Submitted to two Amherst socie- 
ties. Sphinx and Scarab, and to 
the Student Council, 50 under- 
graduate leaders voted on the 
plan. Out of 45 returns, 28 sup- 
ported the proposal, 14 were op- 
posed, and three abstained. 

Several of those voting in favor 
of tlie plan expressed reservations 
about certain provisions of the 
program, especially point four of 
the ixuition. Many who cast neg- 
ative ballots agreed with the plan 
ill principle, but disagreed with 
its mechanics. 

President Cole praised the plan 
■because it gives the fraternities 
a chalice for 100 per cent rushing 
w.thout forcing them to take any 
men they may not want. Although 
I have certain reservations, after 
a surplus glance it looks like a 
good plan."

Art Professor Explains 
Effect on Arcftitecture 

Thursday, l''eb. ^8 Associate 
Professor of Art Whitney S. Stod- 
dL.rd di.scu.ssed the inlluences of 
Snger's twelfth century school of 
artists on Gothic architecture be- 
fore a capacity audience in Law- 
rence Hall this afternoon. This 
was tile fifth in the annual spring 
series of eight lectures by mem- 
bers of the faculty. 

Professor Stoddard pointed out 
that the .sculpturing, done at the 
..bbey of Saint-Denis, in the prov- 
ince of Ile-de-France, by Suger 
and liis students, formed the basis 
for subsequent Gothic architec- 
lural development. He went on to 
investigate the possible sources 
which may have influenced Suger's 
style. 

The lecture was illustrated by 
slides of the cathedrals of Saint- 
Denis, Chartres, Notre Dame de 
Paris, Reims, and others, as Pro- 
fessor Stoddard traced the origins 
of Suger's architecture to the 
French Province of Burgundy,

Williams English Prof. 
Gives Second Sermon 
In Revamped Services 



Saturday. March 8 Bucominc 
increasingly disturbed over the 
IJoor tui'noul of seniors answering 
job interviews, the Placement 
Bureau has stated that it is em- 
barrassing to have recruiters feel 
it necessary to call off a visit to 
the campus because of the appar- 
ent lack of interest. So far the 
Bureau has organized interviews 
for only 34 seniors on the "Active 
List". 

In two instances visitors can- 
celled their plans due to the short- 
age of interested .students, and two 
other recruiters kept their engage- 
ments only becau.se they had pre- 
viously plaiuied to be in the North 
Adams area. William O. Wyckotl. 
head of the Bureau, added that 
employers are interest<>d in .seniors 
"regardless of draft status." 
Kegrets Student Apathy 

An especially discouraging in- 
stance is the fact that, in view of 
the widespread interest in adver- 
tising, only six men signed up for 
a conference on this .subject last 
week. It was pointed out that if 
it were po.ssible to acquaint seniors 
with each company's offers better 
iv.sults might be obtained. 

It was suggested that .seniors 
on the Active List who have al- 
ready taken jobs, been accepted to 
graduate school or who are reluc- 
tant to accept interviews should 
ask to have their names placed on 
the Inactive List so that the Bu- 
I'eau may concentrate on those who 
need help. 

Talk on .lournalisni 

Next in a series of vocational 
guidance talks is a speech entitled 
"Journalism as a Cai-eer". to be 
given by Lawrence K. Miller '31. 
Editor of the Berkshire Eagle. The 
talk will lake place at 7:30 Wed- 
nesday night in Currier Hall. 

The Placement Bureau is spon- 
.soring an exhibit in Stetson Li- 
brary, consisting of vocational lit- 
erature of interest to seniors. Ma- 
terial from graduate schools and 
many corporations is included. 



Saturday. March 8— Professor 
Nelson S. Bushnell '20 of the Eng- 
lish Department will speak al the 
chapel service tomorrow evening. 
This will be the second in a series 
of sermons by members of the fac- 
ulty. David Mills '52 will conduct 
ihp service. 

Graduating from Williams in 
ISao, Professor Bushnell entered 
Harvard Law School. After a pre- 
liminary law career, he decided 
that he preferred teaching to a 
legal practice. He received his 
Ph D. degree from Harvard in 1928 
and has been a member of the 
Williams faculty since 1931. 

Taught in India 

During World War II. Professor 
Bushnell served with the Air Force 
in India. Lured by the stories of 
Kudyard Kipling, he had enter- 
tained a desire to visit India, and 
considered the opportunity offer- 
ed him by the goveinment very 
fortunate for him. 

In 1949-50, Profes.sor Bushnell 
WHS granted a leave of absence 
fiom William!!, and returned to In- 
dia as a lecturer In English Llteia- 
iiire at St. Steven's College in 
t)elhl. He considers this school the 
closest counterpart to an institu- 
tion like Williams In India.

Ballet Comoanv

Saturday. March 8— "Coppelia". 
one of the ballet woild's most fam- 
ous productions for the past 70 
years, will be piesented in a full 
length thi-ee-act performance by 
the internationally known Sadler's 
Wells Theatre Ballet on Wednes- 
day. March 12 at the RPI field 
house in Troy. The ballet will be 
directed by Dame Ninette deVal- 
ols. and boasts a company of fifty

phony orchestra. 

Headed by such outstanding 
soloists as Romayne Austin. David 
Blair and Svetlana Beriosova. the 
production has been acclaimed by 
the Montreal Star as combining 
"all the charm of the old version 
with a freshness and atmosphere 
of youth and enthusiasm that is 
wholly delightful." 



Co-Captain Elect 

Loss of Star Sprinter 
May Deprive Williams 
Of Olympic Prospect 

Saturday, March 8— The 1952- 
.i3 Williams swimming team may 
l)e dealt a severe blow this June 
in the lo,ss of co-captain and ace I 
sprinter Dick Martin. This is the ! 
Uire outlook facing the Eph swim- j 
mers. for Martin, victim of a mix- | 
up in Navy records, may be called 
out of the PittsHeld Naval Reserve 
unit to active duty. 

As Martin has not yet received 
his orders, the prospect of his be- 
ing called is still in the neai'- 
rumor stage, but Martin feels that 
there is a good chance that he will 
be summoned. Should he receive 
such orders, he would have the 
right to appeal his case, and might 
be granted a deferment in order 
to finish his .studies. 

May Miss Olympics 

If Martin is called, the Eph mer- 
men would be hard pressed to find 
a replacement. Recently elected 
Co-captain for next season along 
with Don Jones, Martin has set 
records in three events this season 
and is highly regarded as a pros- 
pect for the Summer Olympics at 
Helsinki this July. 

Coach Bobby Muir, when ques- 
tioned about Martin's Olympic 
chances, remarked: "I have had 
several boys make the Olympic 
team, and 13 boys have won na- 
tional championships in various 
events. I believe he iMai'tin) 
could make the 1952 Olympic 
team with the proper opportuni- 
des."

College President 
To Address N.A. 
Eisenhower Club 



Anticipates Republican 

S'weep Should General 

Receive Nomination 



.Saturday. March 8— President 
James P. Baxter III will speak 
Monday evening at an organiza- 
tional meetmg of the "Eisenhower 
for President" Club for the North 
Adams - Clarksburg - Florida dis- 
trict. The meeting will be held at 
the Richmond Hotel in North Ad- 
ams at 8:00 p. m. 

Setting forth his reasons for 
lending his support to General 
ELsenhower, the President has as- 
serted. "I came to know General 
Eisenliovi'er by doing some work 
for him in 1942 and in 1946-47. 
and by serving with him on the 
Service Academy Board in 1948- 
49. His qualities of leadership, ad- 
ministrative ability, and grasp of 
foreign and domestic problems im- 
IJiessed me deeply. No great Amer- 
ican leader today seems to me so 
human, .so dh'ect and .so kindly. 
Ike .\ppeuls to All 

"If nominated. I believe he can 
sweep the country, polling not only 
the full Republican strength, but 
most of the Independents whose 
support is needed for victory, and 
the many Democrats who frankly 
admit it is time for a change of 
party. 

"Almost everyone agree-; that if 
General Eisenhower is nominated 
he will be elected. But it will take 
organization, hard woi-k, and I'eal 
grass roots effort to ti'anslEte the 
strong popular sentiment nto 
delegate strength." 

Lauds Student Effort 

On the local scene President 
Baxter is chairman of the "Eisen- 
hower for President" organization, 
recently founded by students un- 
der the leadership of three fresh- 
men. Richard S. Beatty, Diiane T, 
Sargis.son. and Garret Schenck 
and since augmented by many 
townspeople. 

He has stressed the importance 
of the town-wide canvas being 
conducted by the students, as well 
as the value of the experience. As 
a Williams undergraduate in 1912. 
President Baxter gained similar 
experience as secretary of the 
"William Howard Taft for Presi- 
dent" organization.

ht over a century of student — Sprini^ Street relatioms, few

lectures this evening before the 
combined History 16 sections. The 
topic under discussion was; "Liter-

States". 

These lectures are a division of 
the regular History 16 course, 
which consists of the study of 
American busiress in the years 
following the Civil War and of 
business trends in the 1920's. The 
History Department has instituted 
these lectures to "broaden the 
analysis of these areas of study".

Members of departments other 
than history have given fullest 
support and cooperation. This af-

If You Don't Want Harry 

ur if you fet'l strongly about any otlu-r caiiclidatc lor tiu' 
luitioii's highest oliice, tueu e.xercise tlic Dasic responsibility of 
every citizen and make sure you will be al)le to \ote in ne.xt Nov. 
embirs presidential election, .-\ppro.\iniately 50'* of the present 
until rgradnate body will be ot voung age anil because of the wide 
\ariety ol registration regulations across the country, many stu- 
dents will lose their voting franeUisc unless they register over 
Spring X'acation. .\ five minute call at tlie office of your home 
town clerk will gi\e yon all the iiilonnation you need alxiiit pri- 
mary and national elections and about ahseiitee ballots. .Members 
ot the Class of 195:3 will lia\e lo cast their votes by absentee 
ballots and inan\' of those graduating m June will be in the armed 
forces and will na\e to make similar arrangeinents. 

iNovember may seem a long wa\' off, but a more immediate 
and pressing problem is that ot Stare primaries. At present the 
presidential candidates of the two major national parties arc still 
very much up in the air of political speculation and undergrad- 
uates may find that tliey can east decisive primary \otes during 
Easter vacation. We commend heartily the political awareness ot 
those on campus who ha\e formed chilis around college to tluow 
their weight behind the candidates ot their choice. But the five- 
hundred odd votes represented by the present upperclassnien 
are etjually as important as the propagaiuui value ot such organ- 
izations. A sense of social awareness and political responsibihty 
was exhibited by undergraduates during the past few months witli 
the votes on fraternity membership at Williams. But as college 
represents in capsule form the society as a whole into which we 
will soon matriculate, it is -.ital that we assuiue the habits of good 
citizenship as soon as we are eligible to exercise our political 
rights and responsibilities. 

Mountain Slopes Claim Victims 
From Novice Ranks As Three 
Exchange Boards For Crutches 

by Ned HcppcnstaU 

As central New England's most prosperous winter for skiing 
in recent years comes to a close, it is of interest to note the 
physical repercussions on the eager but unenlightened Williams 
men who have "hit the slopes". With the exception of Coach 
Towiisend's star captain, .Ned Collins, who has been inactive with 
a wrenched knee, by and huge the accidents have affected "green" 
skiers. 

A typical sufferer is Sandy Brown, who (according to his 
associate skiers-not him) was breezing merrily down a Dutch 
Hill slope when an attractive and (juite adept female skier 
whizzed past. Perhaps for fear of the severe blow to his pride at 
being outdone by the weaker sex, or perhaps in an attempt to ex- 
hibit to his iniknown companion his prowess "on the boards", 
Sandy hastened his descent flew past the girl, lost the trail, and 
1 leaded toward a tree. Result: a broken leg. 

Broiulci/ Takes Friend 

On Friday a brave but inexperienced Doric I'rieiid hazarded 
the treacherous Bromley slo|ies, suffering a badly-sprained ankle 
and an even worse-sprained ambition. Soon after f)orie took his 
fatal fall, two hefty ski patrolmen came and carted him off on a 
toboggan past staring people to the first aid station. Doric was 
beginning to think that the four dollars he had paid for the tow 
had not been completely wasted in \ iew of tiie excellent medical 
service he was receiving. 

He was indeed shocked when, after a pretty attendant asked 
him a few <|uestions in which she learned that he was an inex- 
perienced skier, he was casually dismissed with the advice that he 
should take skiing lessons. Having trawled meekly out of the first 
aiil station, he was given the attention he .so badly needed by a 
kind ladv who very heartilv sympathized with him in his pained 
maltreatinent from the station, and his spirits were brightened. 
When he got a letter recently from the kind lady asking him to 
come to the "beginner" ski lesort she owned, he was convinced 
of the hard-bitten cmnmerciali.sm of the mountain merchants. 

Sportsiiuiii Maimed 

C Harold Mott, well known for his grouse and duck shooting 
triumphs, re'ceiitly suffered a similar iiidignitv while developing 
his new winter interest. Unable to afford the gilded slopes of Mt. 
Tremblant or Stowe, he sustained his injnrv. (liagnosed as a club 
foot by Dr. Urniy. in the modest pastures of Dutcli Hill. 

Mistaking a sturdy oak for the 189(5 House, Mott crashed into 
the timber, and was oniv saved from hirther peril by a toboggan 
brigade from Pine Oibble School. With the aid of Cal King's taxi 
service, the victim has been able to maintain his perfect classroom 
attendance record. 



bij Ted Tern/ 
In the social "no inan'i land" between complete Iraternity 
memliership anil the status ijuo, the anxious policy makers ol 
Williams have found solace in the proposal hir deferred rushinu. 
'lliis plan provides no solution for the present problem, while 
creating a new list of potential ills. 

Deferred ru.shing stalemates any efhirt to provide gratis fra- 
ternity membership tor all iindergiaduates. The bitterness of re- 
jectioii at the end of a year will greatly exceed the disappointment 
of first week exelusion. The other side ol this proposed coin is a 
threat to the fraternity. Weakened by attrition, rather than 
altruism, the individual house will he forced to bid men normally 
unsolicited by the members, in terms of total absorption, the 
greatest probable accomplishment will be a vicious 90-10 ratio ol 
membership. 

A C'oW Winter for Treshnien 

The plan reduces the initial college year to nine months of 
spartan severity. Denied access to the entertaimiicut and transpor- 
tation offered by the fraternity, the freshman will inherit the dis- 
mal social facilities of Spring Street or the limited offerings ol a 
student union. His lot will hi weighted with the frantic and ex- 
tended struggle to enter the fraternity of his choice. In place of 
fostering class spirit, prolonged anxiety and competition will stress 
the individual and his cliijue, both fashioned to make the candi- 
date palatable to fraternity tastes. 

For the houses deferred rushing spells linaneial anemia. Out 
of the urge for self preser\ation the fraternity will acijuiescc to 
unwanted increases in delegation ijuotas. .\s a by-product of the 
new teclmiiiuc, desparatc rivalry and elaborate chicanery will 
appear, bring ailditional rushing expenses as baggage. The re- 
sulting evil will be the effect upon the atmosphere ol the indivi- 
dual houses. Group or "package ' joining on the part of the fre.sh- 
nicn, well congealed in cliques after a long, lonely year, will in- 
crease the polarization of fralernitics in their types and interests. 
Inevitably the fraternity will fail in its dlmiiishing attempts to 
maintain a mixed pattern within the hibric of its membership.

'/',) the Editor of the liECOlW: 

1 was very interested to read in the Williuuis HECOHD of 
Feb. 27, 1952 the article by John II. Allan in which he comments 
the irony of humorous references to the "dies unifomr' of (1,^ 
average 'Williams student. This article has scored a pertinent point 
1 believe, in bringing to the fore an observation of fact which so 
many are prone to self-consciously deny. 

Reliable polling techniiiues and valid conclusions Uierefrom 
are two entirely dilferent processes, however. Whereas we may 
find evidence of uniformity of dress on the Williams campus, 
1 hardly think that any conceivably significant percentage ot 
haternitv members will agree that "ol Williams institutions, 
clothing is most important in relationship to the fraternity." jj 
seems a great error to assume that a convention of dress can be 
interpreted as a motive hir evaluation of the worth of fraternity 
nieinbers. 

If this be the case, however, there are a great many of us in 
fraternities who must he resigned to remain as "outcasts " witli 
"two strikes against us from the start." But we shall continue tu 
liel that there are a few Williams institutions which have signj.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1952 



HEADLINER 



By KulliKian 

Btkck In UetcmbBr, the luss ol Hit Cramer dealt a severe blow tu 
Coach Al Shaw'K hopes tor nioidiiit- a team whieh eould perhaps come 
close to eiiualiiliiK the perl'ormaiu'e of his great Larson-Sheehy qulii- 
let. The preseiiee of Cramer alonu with Kd Shiidt gave Shaw two 
well seasoned and poised veterans to paee a team whieh would obvi- 
ously lack experienee and ronlldenee. The sophomore trio of Hawkins, 
freer, and Smith coupled with the veteran Williams ro-eaptains mlRlit 
very well have turned the tide in our favor on more than one oecasion 
where live or six points made the dilTerencc. 

However, with Cnimer out of action due to a chronic shoulder 
injury, Shaw was foreed In experimenl with a number of variations 
In his line-up in an attempt to find a winninK combination. 

Ho often has eome the ery from armchair strategists — "Well just 
wait till next year." With a winning: frosh live, sperulatlon for 1953 
could hardly be avoided. However, no coach is in a position to dream 
about what's to happen come next year, lleie and now are his main 
worries, and his Job is to deal with the situation at hand. 

In liiiht of Ihl.s fact, I feel that with the relatively "green" squad 
Al Shaw found available for his Til-.'ja team, he ha.s woi'ked wonder.s 
to keep them al the .500 maik. 

TunlKht it's Amherst. The bie one! The last one. Making the trip 
with the Williams squad will be co-captain Cramer, uniformed and 
ready for action against the powerful .lell quintet. Not only has his re- 
turn strengthened the suuad, but also it has given a certain rejuvena- 
tion of spirit. They'll be going all out for the win tonight. Let's get 
down and give them all the support we can. 

Picture, if you will, the Hlorious maKUiflcence of the Lasell basket- 
ball court UPSTAIRS. With all the advantages of the proverbial 
"bandbox", this floor provides the site for all intiamural contests 
ihrouKhout the year. Poor 'Harry Hoop"! So many frustrations of 
ihls would-be court flash are only heightened by low-hanwing rafters, 
pregnant floois, close-by radiators, and supporting pillars. In addition 
to these, we find nine other obstacles i teammates included i racing 
about the floor with "an intent to kill" manamnK their every move. 

With the intra-mural league championship in the balance, the 
DKE'S met the Dll's, (Nulf said'.' I The combatants took the floor 
amidst a flourish of sanguinary oaths, and the battle was on. After 
an 11-11 half-time score, the even pace was kept throughout the sec 
»nd half as well. With but a minute remaining in the combined 
urestllng-football-basketball display, a tie score still prevailed. As the 
seconds waned, the referee's blast sounded and I'KTE STERLING 
strolled to the foul line for the "Old Crow's ". I'ete's toss was good and 
the Columns of Kpsilon struggled through with an fH-17 victory. 

My apologies to Capt. O. M S.. Ill and the winter Uack team 
for recent omission of the results of the Knights of Columbus track 
meet in N. Y. a week ago. With due respect to my former boss. I'd 
like to .say that the Williams cindermen represented one of the only 
small college entries on the program. Running in a heat with teams 
Irom N. Y. U., Holy Cross, Pcnn State and St. John's the Purple mile- 
relay team trailed the victors bv a scant four .seconds, posting their 
best time for the entii-e season. George Kelsey placed fifth in the high 
jump. 




Captain Kay George of the Wil- 
liams College Squash team will be 
one of four entries at Harvard to- 
day. 



Skiers Compete 
In Bromley Meet 

Townsend Enters Four 
In Giant Slalom Field 



Saturday, Mar. 8 — Coach Ralph 
rownsend's skiers compete with 
the East s best teams in the Har- 
vard Collegiate Giant Slalom 
at Big Bromley today. Th,.' meet 
is comprised of two run.i, one to 
be lield this morning and the 
other in the afternoon. 

A field of more than ten teams 
is expected for the annual event, 
including Harvard. Vermont, Nor- 
wich. Bowdoin. Mlddlebury, Dart- 
mouth, and other Eastern Colleges 
which will vie with the Ephs for 
ti'am honors. 

Still handicapped by the lass of 
Captain Ned Collins. Townsend 
will enter only four skiers. Bob 
Tucker, Stu Chase, and Pete Cal- 
lahan, Williams' three leading 
point-getters in slalom events this 
year, and Putte Westergaard will 
compete for the team and indivi- 
dual titles at Bromley. 



Squashmen Enter 
National Tourney 
To End Campaign 

Four Men to Compete 
In U.S. Championship; 
Squires Seeded Third 

by Bob Goldstein 

Friday, Mar. 7— Coach Clarence 
Chaffee .sent a four-man Williams 
delegation down to Harvard today 
to take part In the National Inter- 
collegiate Squash Championships. 
Representing Williams are Dicii 
Squires. Soapy Symington, Ray 
George and John Brownell. Chis 
Thoron, the number three man, 
chose not to make the trip. 

The tournament is based on In- 
dividual play; no team champion- 
ship will be decided. Chaile; IJf- 
ford of Harvard, runner up last 
.year, will, in all probability, oe 
.seeded fli'st, while Blair r/urphy j 
of Yale and Squires will receive [ 
either .second or third r.'-.nking. . 
Squires-Murphy Rivalry j 

The keenest rivalry at the tour- 
ney will be between Squiies and 
Murphy. The two have split two 
decisions this year, and if neither 
is upset, they stand a good chance . 
of meeting in the semi finals. La.si 
year Murphy, seeded third, tupped 
Squires 3-1 in the third round. 
None of the other Williams en- 
trants have participated before. 

Coach Chaffee is quite optimis- 
tic over the chances of his teo.m 
He feels that "Squires should 
reach the semi finals", and al.so 
exclaimed that "This is the strong- 
est team we have entered in tl e 
IntercoUeglates in some time". 
Upsets Possible 
Aside from the four probably 
seeded stars. Coach Chaffee ex- 
pects to see several others provide 
some .stiff competition for any op- 
ponent. Among those falling into 
this category are Jim Bacon and 
Dave Watts of Harvard: Sandy 
Ewing of Yale: Cecil North of 
Princeton: and Symington i>nd 
George, of Williams.

After establishing himself as a consistent winner a year ago, 
Dick Maitin was faced with an ineligibility status tliis year

In his first jneet, agaiiist SpringlicUl, .Martin nipped sec-

by Pete Goldman 

Coach Al Shaw's varsity cagers 
will be fighting to repeat last 
year's tie for the Little Three titl"? 
when they take on a favored Am- 
herst club on the Sabrina court 
tonight. The Ephs show a single 
\ictory in three title contests to 
date. 

The Jeffs, who carry a in-7 oai'd 
into the final game, saw then- 
hopes jarred when the Wesleyan 
Cai-dinals eked out a one-point up- 
set victory in Middletown two 
weeks ago. However, the host ag- 
gregation boasts a height advan- 
tage over the Ephs which enabled 
them to pull out a 56-45 wm in 
I their first encounter with the 
I Shawmen earlier in the season. 
I Ephs Given Strong Chance 
I According to Shaw, the Ephs 
I have a fair chance for a victoiT 
I and a three-way title deadlock, 
given the brand of offensive re- 
bounding they displayed against 
Springfield last Friday. The Wil- 
liams coach points to six-foot-flve 
pivotman Howie Fisher, forward 
Sterling Weaver and team captain 
Derry Bennett as the key men in 
the Sabrina attack.

Williams Sextet, 11-2 

Middlebury, VI., Mur. 4— The 
Williams hockey team suffered 
its 11th defeat of the season to- 
day as the powerful Panthers 
of Middlebury 

Ihe injury-ridden Ephs, 
playing without the .services of 
Captain Jim Harvey, could do 
little to slop the strong Puii- 
Iher sextet. The only bright 
spots in an otherwise dismal e- 
vening came in the first period 
when Ted Mitchell, faking the 
Middlebury defense aside, 
flashed across the net to score 
cleanly, Ted Irwin scored the 
other Eph goal.

Monday. March 10- At the first 
ineeling of the Student Activities 
Council under the direction of its 
new olliccrs. Flying Club President 
Dave W. Bur!,'her asked for a 
$1400 loan for the purchase of a 
newer second-hand plane. The 
loan, if granted, would then be 
■idded to the $400 which would be 
received from the sale of the plane 
now 111 use. and the faster, more 
eiriclent one would be bought. 
When the original proiiosal came 
111), the Plying Club asked for a 
direct loan. but. due lo the finan- 
cial status of the SAC. the execu- 
tive committee, which met .several 
days iiKO. decided that such a loan 
was imiJo.ssible, Burtdier then 
worked out a plan whereby tlu> 
loan would be made by the Wil- 
lamstown Bank and would be un- 
derwritten by the Activities Coun- 
cil. 
Meniiiers I'ersonally Kesponsiblr 
Besides the undcr-writinu the 
SAC will have an agreement with 
•he twenty members of the Flying 
Club by which they will be per- 
■onally responsible to the SAC if 
anything goes wrong. The plan 
also slates that if the new plane 
is bou,«ht. the debt must be reiiaid 
in two to three years. To insure 
this i-epayment in the quickest 
possible time, the flying rates will 
be raised lo $4.00 per hour, and 
the iJlaiie will be a\'ailable and 
ready for a larger number of fly- 
ing hours. 

The council decided Ihi.s after- 
noon to think the problem ovei- 
in a little more detail and come lo 
their final decision in the very 
near future. Several minor pro- 
blems concerning liability and col- 
ILsion must be considered first. 

Michigan Reveals 
Rushee Scarcity 

New Dorms Draw Men 
Away from Fraternities 

Ann Arbor. Mich.. March 10 — 
Fraternity rushing .seems to bring 
up all .sorts of varied problems on 
the nations' campu.scs. At the Uni- 
versity of Michigan, fraternities 
are running into diiTiculty trying 
to get enough men to pledge, the 
Michigan Daily reports. 

The university's new dormitories. 
IJossessing more than adequate 
facilities, have caused students to 
feel that they can satisfy their in- 
dividual tastes and needs .satis- 
factorily in the college residence 
halls. 

During the recent rushing sea- 
son on the Michi.gan campus, resi- 
dent of the new Gomberg House 
placed an ad in the Daily an- 
nouncing "rushing hours for all 
aflilintes who desire to pledge." 
One of a .series of buildings known 
as the new "South Quad." Gom- 
berg is putting up stiff competi- 
tion for the fraternities which 
wish to pledge men who feel more 
than satisfied where they are. 
Must Slay Solvent 

The university plan of building 
plush dormitory facilities has 
cau.sed the number of Michigan 
fraternities to drop considerably 
since the pre-war period. Accord- 
ing to a university ruling, houses 
which cannot remain solvent fi- 
nancially must close. A number of 
fraternities have been forced to 
dissolve from a lack of men who 
wished to pledge.

be referred to tin- student body for 
a vote. 

^ New Comniiltee 

After viewing tlie efficiency of 
the present Council. Duffleld sug- 
gested the institution of an Exec- 
utive Committee which might out- 
line work and initiate legislation. 
The new committee would be com 
posed of the UC officers and the 
chaii-men of all the current com- 
mittees of the Council. 

Duffleld further urged propor- 
tional representation on the UC 
for the non-afflliates. This mo- 
tion was followed closely by a pro- 
posal for a vote on a new plan for 
total membership In fratcmilies. 

Al.so contained in Duffleld's re- 
port was a plan foi' Ihe revision 
of membership on the Di.scipline 
Committee. He suggested that all 
UC committees should contain on- 
ly Council members.

Dear Sir: 

1 have chosen you from aiiiong thoiisamls to be my represent-

Reason: l'"or the last llircc weeks I liaxc reeeiveil in my niail- 
l)o.\ ads, church schedules, aunoimceineiils of while elephant sales, 
anil bills, Mv roommates, on the other hand, ha\e receivi'd such

Result: I am organi/.ing a campaign of Letters for Lucy, the 
smashing climax of which is lo he L-D;i\', the 27tli of March.

.\nii hir tiiose interesled, there is tiie following corollary:

I am at licmiiiigtou. I slanil at tlie iiottom of a neat stair-

A lace peers Uoii, hums a eigaretie, and vanishes. I do a jig; I 
wear liiiiuv clothes and make inniiy laces ;md tell Iniiiiv gags, the

sits ([uietly, iiut soiueliow veil know lie is Uncouvenlioiiai. I'er- 
lia])s it is till' wav he smokes ills cigarette llirough his nose. The 
ginmiie is unimportant; the nsult is fatal lo the p;ilpilaliiig heart 
of the Heimmgton "lille". "lleie is a man," she says tliickiy to her- 
self, "who does wliatever lie likes in spite of conventioii. " .\nd 
lier I'ves glow dim red slits.

.\n excellent plan has been developed by a friend, and I 
lepetil il here in its eutirty. I'lrst vou must buy a copy ol James 
Joyces "Ulysses in a seconil-haiiil liook store in New York, look- 
ing siiarpiy lor a beaten copy. Unless you have extraordinary 
hick, il will next lie necessary lo leave your copy out in the riiiii 
lor al least two weeks, ami upon bringing it inside, "earmark

beanliliilly liirned |)lir;i.si's that appear in the thesis. .Make a fi'vv 
;illiisions lo Sanskrit proverbs, and copy ti lew strong criticisms. 
Tiieii the hook is leailv to be thrown on your ilesk. The ellecl 
is a strong one. Here is a book vim liave obviously read a tlioii- 
saiid tiiiies (you can suggest this i)v meiitioning that vou never 
gel tireil ol it); it is worn anil liionglitover (wiluess tiie notes), 
llie cheapness ol the eilition shows that it is the guts, not the 
cover, tlial yon are iiiteresteii in. 'ilie girl's eves will i)urii 
fiercely wilii liored envv. and vou have niched another crevice 
into her soul." 

"The lact that Bruce I'aliiiei, the inventor ol this luelhod. 
has been notably imsiicccssfnl vvitii il is not so inucii the fault ot 
the coiiceplioii. It is rallicr due lo tile ililliciilty of looking aes- 
llielieallv wan wiien \'on weight over 2110 iiis. The giinmic is sound.

A lew raiiiloin notes iiuiv givi you some iilcas: 

Knovvii till obscure school ol modern dance tiuil relet to all

Call Kaffa meaningless and pr;iise Dostoyevsky as the lore- 
rmiiier ol l''reuil. (Tiiis is eipiaiiv good in reverse, in whicli case 
vou mereiv refer lo Kalka as elaboraliug I'reuil.) 

II is not a hail iilea to have been in love with a girl whose 
parents ohjecteil to vou liecanse vou were going to be a com- 
poser (writer, painter, actor, sculptor, etc.) Tins gives von a 
strong iiasis tor cvnii-ism and hate ol convention. 

The truth, alter all, is ilolelnllv siiii|)li'. II von don I like the 
Beiiuinglon wav ol liie. the artilices will do von no good, lor 
yon can never enter into them with conviction and ahamloii, .\iid

HoudiniLikeThief 
Burglarizes Co-Op 

Locked, Empty Register 
Baffles Investigators 



Monday. March 3— A burglar 
broke into the Williams Co-op 
and stole $50 in cash and an un- 
determined amount of merchan- 
dise, last nlBht. Police as yet have 
no clues as to the intruder's iden- 
vity. 

Jack Henderson, operator of the 
store, reported that his tailor. 
Giacomo Cattoli. had discovered 
the theft when he arrived for 
work at 8 a. m. thi.s morning. Cat- 
toti found the dooi from the roof 
to a pentiiouse atop the one story 
structure had been forced open. 
Further investigation disclosed 
that the burslar had left by a 
rear door on the first floor. 
Cash Register Locked 

Mr. Henderson was unable to 
explain how the cash register from 
which the money was stolen had 
been locked by the bandit before 
he left. The only way to lock tiio 
register, Mr. Henderson explained. 
is with a key which was not in the 
store at the time. 

After he had called Chief of 
Police Royal. Mr. Henderson dis- 
covered one set of tracks ap- 
proaching and one leaving the rear 
of the establishment. Chief Royal 
checked all fingerprints found m 
the store but was unable to reach 
an immediate conclusion.

and making possible a Lord Jeti: 
fast break that ran the Purple rag- 
ged and made the .score 54-28 at

Williams employd a full court 
press through most of the final 
period, but to no avail as the 
Sabrinas jealously maintained pos- 
session 01 the ball until the clos- 
ing miimtes, when play became 
sloppy on both sides. Sandy Lait- 
man netted four more points in 
this time to lead the Williams

Scott and Allen shared Amherst 
pointmaking honors with 18. 

P.O. F.T. T.P. 



Thursday. March 6 — "Man is a 
prisoner within his own ideas of 
reality ... he must pursue each 
truth to fi^ee himself." concluded 
David Park, assistant professor of 
phy.sics, speaking this afternoon 
on "Pythagoras Bound." The sixth 
in the spring term series of faculty 
lectures given in the biology lec- 
ture hall, the talk was based on 
the principle of Pythagoras that 
mathematics is the key to reality. 

Park traced the attempts of 
man from Euclid to Einstein to 
•relate the human to the divine 
nature of mathematics." In clos- 
ing, he cited Einstein's philosophy 
that, since experimentation alone 
fails to reveal the fundamental 
truths of the world, the philoso- 
pher should combine "the reason- 
ing mind and an idea of what is 
re:,l," to understand "the reality 
of lite."

Santiago newspapers "La Nacion 
and "Los Tiempos", Davila was 
Chilean Ambassador to the United 
States from 1927 through 1931 and 
provisional president of Chile in 
1932. 

For three years, 1943-1946, he 
was a member of the Council of 
the United Nations Relief and Re- 
habilitation Administration. Dr. 
Davila became one of the IB mem- 
bers of the UN Economic and Se-

Dr. Davila has received honor- 
ary degrees from Columbia Uni-

"crucial position" because of the 
scarcity of rushees. The absolute 
minimum number of men that 
must be pledged is 350 if the 
Michigan houses are to remain in 
existence, according to one Michi- 
gan Inter --fraternity Council 
, spokesman. 

i Other reports indicated that 
I spring season pledging w'ill reduce 
this number to somewhere nearer 
the number of men who are will- 
ing to leave the new Michigan 
dormitories. Alumni support was 
also suggested as a means for re- 
maining solvent should some

grims." 

Turning to the field of educa- 
tion. Lait and Mortimer sum- 
marize their views in this way: 
"Americans are over - educated 
boobs, no longer taught the three 
R's. which are 'bourgeois and old- 
fashioned.' Now we learn how to 
conform while the schemers and 
dreamers overrun our schools and 
colleges." 

Throughout the surrounding 
area, the authorities have also be- 
gun to crack down on the book- 
sellers. The "advice" to cease sales 
reached at least one local estab- 
lishment in the phraseology of an 
order. 

Law Suits 

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sheriff H. 
Blaine has stated that a $500,000 
libel suit will be filed against Lait 
and Mortimer. They describe Tulsa 
as "practically lawless" and criti- 
cize Blaine's law enforcement. 

Meanwhile, in Seattle, Dave 
Beck, international vice-president 
of the powerful A. F. of L. Team- 
sters Union, notified all book deal- 
ers in Washington that he will 
bring immediate suit against them 
for libel if they a.ssist in tlie sale, 
circulation, or distribution of this 
book.

topped by Dewey of Yule, 12-15, 
.7-10, 15-14, 15-11. 

Krownell .Also Surprise 

Sophomore John Brownell also 
proved a surprise as he turned 
back two opponents before suc- 
cumbing to Potter of Navy, 18-17, 
l,>>-6, 13-15, 15-14. Brownell was 
entered in the Intercolleglates only 
when Chris Tlioron decided not 
lo make the trip. 

The number five ranked Eph- 
man won his first two matches 
handily, turning back Dartmouth's 
Bill Fisher 15-5. 15-9, 15-7 and Bill 
Banks of Amherst 15-10, 15-13, 
8-15, 15-6. II took the Middies's 
number two player to knock Brow- 
nell out of the tournament. 
Wood I'resses Squirt's 

Runner up Dick Squires drew a 
lirst round bye. and then preceded 
to route Dickenson of Amherst, 
giving up only 19 points. The next 
match saw Sciuires up to the oc- 
casion in an encounter which 
must have proved (luite monoton- 
ous for the scorer. WatUs of Har- 
vard bowed to the Eph star, 11-15, 
15-11. 15-11, 15-11. 

Sciuires' toughest match, aside 
from the one with Utiord, came 
in Ihe quarter finals. Wood of 
Yale battled all the way. but 
couldn't quite make it. Squires 
winning 15-14, 15-13, 10-15, 15-13. 

The tournament lost niuch of

Miller Stresses Small 
Town Advantages 

Wednesday Mar. 12 — Speaking 
tonight in the Currier Hall lounge 
Lawrence K. Miller '31, editor and 
co-owner of the "Berkshire Eagle". 
Pittsfield. Mass.. outlined the ad- 
vantages for the college Braduate 
on a small-town newspaper. 

Mr. Miller's talk was the third 
in a series of informal vocational 
guidance lectures sponsored by the 
collcKe Placement Bureau. 
Chance for .Advancement 

"The .smaller the situation the 
better for the young reporter", 
commented Mr. Miller. "A good 
reporterial job on a small town 
paper can lead to any number of 
good positions elsewhere." He 
went on to cite a number of well- 
known journalists who first re- 
ceived their start on .small publica- 
tions. 

The young reporter, according 
to editor Miller, has a better 
chance to show his abilities on the 
small-town daily with its limited 
staff and varied work. "Many able 
youngsters go years without ad-

Davila Discloses 
Economic Threat 



New World Must Unite 
Against Europe, Africa 



Thursday. March 13 — "The 
whole standard of living in our 
countries lof the Western Hemis- 
phere! is threatened by competing 
economies" stated Dr. Carlos Da- 
vila. Chilean writer, diplomat, and 
former member of the Council of 
UNRRA. at a lecture tonight un- 
der the auspices of the Williams 
Lecture Committee titled "Latin 
America Today," 

"Europe is an historical expres- 
sion and . . . Africa does not exist 
anymore." according to Dr. Davila. 
We are living in a three-world 
panorama of Eurasia, Eurafrica, 
and the Americas. The United 
States and Latin America must 
band together against the rest of 
the world if we are to maintain 
our present standards of living. 
Eurafrica n Development 

The Eurafrican development is 
one of the chief threats to Ameri- 
can conomic power and the United 
States is aiding it revealed Dr. Da- 
vila. "Marshall plan dollars" have 
been siphoned off for African 
Improvement to the tune of nearly 
one billion dollars including such 
items as two million to build up 
diamond mines of French poss- 
essions. 

An attempt is in process to tele- 
scope into 10 years the develop- 
ment in Africa which required 300 
years for Western Europe, 100 for 
the U. S., and 30 tor Russia. These 
state-operated, slave labor projects 
already export as much cotton as 
the United States and large quan- 
tities of such Latin American ex- 
port Items as coffee, sugar, ba- 
nanas, cocoa and tobacco. 



Jeff Club Stages 
Walkout in Fiery 
CommitteeDehate 

Nonfraternity Delegation 
Exits as Council Denies 
Hearing on Club Motion 

Amherst, March S — Representa- 
tives of the Lord Jeff Club walked 
out of a Hou.se Membership Com- 
mittee meeting tonight as a result 
of the refusal of the HMC to re- 
consider a proposal to put tire 
club's rushing under faculty super- 
vision. 

"I'lic plan was put forth at a re- 
cent forum, Including faculty and 
.student views, which discus.sed the 
club's membership in the HMC. 
The Lord Jeff representative ex- 
plained that separation from the 
Committee was necessary because 
the club could not rush on an 
equal basis with frateiTiltie.'i. 
Cites Club's Beliefs 

He clarified this by citing the 
beliefs that "every .student is en- 
titled to equal intellectual and so- 
cial opportunities" and that "no 
.student has the right to judge the 
merits of another student". There- 
fore, he said, the Lord Jeir Club 
should not be forced to abide by 
the same rushing rules which ap- 
ply to the fraternities. 

Tlae HMC formally expressed 
the hope that the Club representa- 
tive would continue to attend the 
meetings as a participatini! mem- 
ber. The Committee explained 
that no further action could be 
taken on the proposal until its 
next meeting with the Graduate 
HMC.

Heads Astronomy Dept. New History Theory 



Saturday. March 15 — Professor 
Theodore G. Mehlin, Field Me- 
morial Professor of Astronomy at 
Williams, is scheduled as Chapel 
speaker at the evening .services 
tomorrow. Professor Mehlin. sole 
member of the Astronomy Depart- 
ment, holds degrees from Drake 
University, the University of Chi- 
cago and Amherst College. 

Mehlin won his graduate degree 
in astronomy at Yale, after which 
he returned to Drake to teach for 
six years. He arrived at Williams 
ten years ago. and aside from his 
regular teaching he conducted sev- 
eral V-5 and V-12 classes in navi- 
gation during the war. 

With the additional interest in 
navigation that has occurred in 
the past year, Mehlin has found 
it necessary to increase the class 
to tliree sections. He has written 
a textbook in astronomy which he 
uses in his classes in manuscript 
form but as yet has not had pub- 
lished.

can Frontier." Mr. Bastert, a lec- 
turer tor the Williams History de- 
partment gave the next to last lec- 
ture in tlie Faculty Lecture Series. 
'Ihe lecture began with a descrip- 
tion of the mode of thinking of 
the American historian previous 
to the Civil War. Bastert pointed 
out that the generally accepted 
theory was that all American pro- 
gress in the new nation had it's 
foundation in Europe. This was 
due to the hold over of ideas 
brought over by the early settlers. 
New Tlieory After Civil War

All hiring is done at the com- 
pany's offices in Fairbanks. Appli- 
cants must be at least 18 years of 
age and must pass a physical ex- 
amination. Selection of the suc- 
cessful candidates for the Boston

portation costs and high living 
expenses of Alaska to "consider 
the matter carefully,"

Extra Man on Force 

Saturday, March 15 — Chief 
George Royal's Willlamstown 
police force will receive a fourth 
man as soon as the town Board 
of Selectmen announces its 
choice for the post. The three

acted as special constable fur 
several years, has had any pre- 
vious police experience. Selec- 
tion, however, according to Se-

Calls Taft Green 
In Administration 



Likens Ohio Senator 
To Pierce, Harding 



Noith Adams, March 11 — Gen- 
era! Dwight D. Eisenhower not 
only would draw more votes than 
Senator Robert A. Taft, but also 
is better qualified to become Presi- 
dent. ,J;iines P. Baxter III a.sstrted 
at a rally of Berkshire County 
Republicans at the Hotel Rich- 
mond last night. 

"No presidential candidate." 
President Baxter stated, "has any- 
thing like General Eisenhower's 
preparation in the field of foreign 
affairs and national defense." Mr. 
Baxter, w ho has known Eisenhow • 
er since 1942. reviewed the Gen- 
eral's record in handling difficult 
administrative ta.sks, and scored 
Senator Tatt's inexperience in this 
field. 

Cites Precedents 

"Of the senators who liave be- 
come presidents." Mr. Baxter re- 
minded his audience, "the most 
successful have liad diplomatic or 
administrative experience, eiihcv 
as governors of states or in tire 
army. Among the senators whose 
experience — like Sen. Tatt's and 
President Truman's — was confined 
to tile senate, we have had iuch 
outstanding failures as Pierce. 
Buchanan, and Harding." 

"William H. .Seward was the I\';r. 
Republican of 1860." the Puiit.xr- 
Prize-winniiw historian continued. 
'He was not only a great senator, 
but had served two successful 
terms as governor of New York. 
Yet the Republican convention in 
Chicago passed him o\'er for a 
man named Abraliam Lincoln — 
and certainly none of us has ever 
regretted t.liat decision." 

Pick a Winner 

Mr. Baxter averred that he was 
"not here to run down any re- 
spectable candidate." but thai "in 
U. S. politics it has always been 
fair to question: which candidate 
is most likely to win'.'" Using the 
analogy of a football game, he 
commented that both Taft and 
Eisenhower would plug the line 
well, "but Ike can make end runs 
that are bound to bring in mil- 
lions of extra independent votes." 

"A five-star general is at the 
disposal of his government tor 
lite," Mr. BaNter remarked. "We 
as supporters must be prepared to 
win the nomination tor him 
whether he is here or not."

Letters to the Editor 



LOEB REVISITED 

To the Editor of the RECORD: 

With .so inaiiv articles a])pcarinir in tlic Williain.s Coilcire 
RECXJRD opcniv Favoring .sociali.stic tciidcncie.s, in connection 
with the fraternity system in particular. 1 am writinir to call 
attention aj^ain to a teles^iam from William Loeb, '27, of Man- 
cliester. New Hampshire. 

This concise messajre is as soimd as any editorial matter that 
I liave seen ap|)ear in your ])iiblication in recent years. I am 
writinjr as an older akimnus to suggest that tliis message from 
Mr. I,oel) he repeated, if possible, on the front page of yom' 
RECX)HD. To my mind, it should tend to straighten out a lot of 
vouthful, clouded thinking among the student body. You shonld 
vyell be able to afford to give it sjiace a second time. 
Darwin's Dai/ 
"Coiigratidations to the student body on defeating the equal- 
itarian i)ro])osal that all students be taken into fraternities. 
Regardless of any faidts the fraternity system might ha\e, the 
entire ]5rocess of life is selective, the able coming to the tO]5 and 
the imable falling to the bottom. While a res]5onsibility rests on 
society to ameliorate the lot of the unable, attem]5ting to do away 
with the selective process results in a levelling down which in 
the end results in a miserable mediocrity and the sort of economic 
sterility which is best exemplified by tlie current-day England, 
strangled by socialization. 

Yom- cam)-)us \ote was perhaps indicative that students of 
19.'52 are going to reject the reactionary e(|na!itarian doctrines 
in fa\'or of the idea that e\eiy man has a light to rise as high 
as his talents and contributions to society allow." 

William Loeb '27 - Pres Union Leader Corp. 

Manchester, New Hampshire 
Sincerely, 

T. H. Irwin '18 
Editor's Note: The controx ersial Mr. Loeb was mentioned by 
Joseph and Stewart Alsop in their "Matter of Fact" column in 
the New York Herald Tribune on March 10, describing the politi- 
cal atmos|>here in New Hampshire as it affects the presidential 
campaigns. We re|3rint this paragraph only to shed light on this 
outspoken leader of the opposition to the editorial policy of the 
RECORD. 

"And there is nothing reassuring about the peculiar brand of 
journalism represented by tlie ]5oIitically potent "Manchester 
Union Leader,' whose pnbhsher, VVilliam Loeb is always carrying 
a loaded pistol with him, and is given to publishing (with pious

Saint Soph Wins Clothes Contest 
SampleSy Circulars Snow Victor 

by CItiulcs fisher 

"This has got to stop", sophomore Peter Loiseaux grimly 
warned this week as some 200 adx'crtisements, circulars, frei' offers, 
catalogues, and samples began pouring into his mail box at an 
ayerage late of twenty a da\'. 

Loiseaux's troubles started from the moment he (licked up 
an air-mail special-delivery letter (joslimuked Phoenix, .Arizona, 
from the "Society for lmpro\cment of Men's C;lothes in College 
Fraternities." The Society had named him "The liest-Dressed 
Fraternity Youth in America" - a distinction that Pete, grinning 
shyly, tried to duck. 

"Well Equipped Wardrobe" 

Rut the letter was ex]ilieit, citing his !?.-37,797.fi9 wardrobe 
as "well eipiipped even for St. Anthony's Hall, . ." The letter con- 
tinued, "We think that you would be interested to know whv we 
chose you . . . here are our reasons. You own: 17 jiairs of shoes 
(1.3 ])lain-toed cordovans, ;3 scuffed white buckskins and 1 jiair 
moccasins), 94 neckties (,5.5 regimental stripes, .32 imported ancient 
madders, 6 silk foulards, and i Official Delta Psi String Tie) . . ." 

The list continued: '. . . .« shirts, 77 pairs of imixirted English 
Argyle socks, 3 tu.xedos, 5 full-dress suits. 9 US.\-AFROTC dress 
uniforms, 7 Rrooks Brothers gray llaiinel suits. 6 pairs of gray 
flannel DAKS, .36 silk handkeicliiefs, 3 Chesterfields, iS raccoon 
coats (one for each football game) 7 hand-made felt hats (one 
for each day of the week) 4 Harris Tweed and 5 cashmere sijorts 
coats. . ." 




■'" *•'*"■■- •* Lt'st''drows 
The list grew " 7 ordinary English tweed coats ( for 'rough- 
ing It) 9 silk scarves, 7 ski parkas (Austrian hand-made) 14 
Brooks Brothers seersucker suits, 12 Palm Beach suits, 15 pairs of 
knee-length nylon shorts (for hiking) 13 pairs Austrian ski-boots. 
14 imported Irish liiiiii suits, 12 imported silk bathrobes, 6 polo 
coats, 2 plaid and S "Glo in the Dark" bathing suits, 7 beachrobes, 
17 tattersoU vests, 13 inlaid ski caps, 6 hand-made riding boots, 
4 pairs imported riding pants, .33 plaid horse blankets, 6 riding 
jackets and 365 silk pajamas (one for each night) ..." 
"The Priee of Fame" 
Loiseaux's satorial achievement soon brought letters from all 
oyer the country which daily threatened to swamp local Post 
Office facilities. Most of the writers tlid their best to lure Pete out 
of Williamstown and into more profitable fields, educational, busi- 
ness and military. "Pete's got to pay the jjriee of fame" decided 
two unidentified Phi Delt swimmers, both long-time admirers of 
Loiseaux's wardrobe. 

From the military attache, French Embassy, Washington, 
came an inspiring letter to "Mr. Pierre Loiseaux" ugring a career 
in the French Foreign Legion. The letter extolled past glories of 
such I,egion regiments as "the 12th Foreign Infantry Regiment 
which distinguished itself early in the war losing nine-tenths of 
its men . . ." or "the three Legion units which fought with distinc- 
tion in Tunisia . . . loosing two-thirds of their personnel . . ." The 
letter concluded hopefully . . . "It should be emphasized that vol- 
unteers in order to enlist must report to Legion Headepiariers, 
I Sibi-bel-Abbes, Algeria, or any Legion iiost in France, Germany!

Coach Ralph Townsend's varsity 
skiers, handicapped by an unco- 
operative weather man and the 
injury Jinx that struck every- 
where on the winter sports scene, 
improved on their championship 
showing of last year. In the eyes 
of Coach Townsend, the Ephs 
turned in a highly creditable sea- 
son's record. 

Townsend. an Olympic and 
F. I. S. star in his own right, saw 
his charges get off to a slow start 
over the Christmas holidays with 
a last-place finish in the Inter- 
collegiate Ski Meet at Lyndon- 
ville. Vermont. After their inaus- 
picious debut, however, the skiers 



took ninth place in a 22-team

AMERICA'S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF CIOARETTKt 



By BUI Redman '54 

In the process of rebuilding after 
one of the most successful seasons 
in Williams history, the 1951-52 
basketball team closed out the 
campaign with a record of 9 wins 
and 10 losses. Coach Al Shaw sta- 
ted. "The loss of Sheehy, Larson. 
Speck, and Morse from last year's 
starting five created a huge gap. 
but the boys did a fine Job." 

The Purple started the season 
with tliree easy victories before 
runninj! afoul of the strong Queens 
and Hofstra teams in the Hofstra 
Tournament over the Christmas 
holiday.s. They split four games 
in early January and then hit 
their iieak just before finals by 
beatiii;^ Bill Prevey and Co. from 
Massachusetts, 58-57 and downing 
Wesleyan 59-29 in their outstand- 
ing defensive performance of the 
year. 

Ephs Upset Springfield 

Following this the Ephs hit the 
doldrums with five consecutive de- 
feats including Little Three losses 
to a powerful Amherst team and 
revamped Wesleyan. Siena, spark- 
ed by Captain Billy Harrell drub- 
bed the Shawman 69-45 in the 
worst defeat of the season for>the 
squad. 

The Purple came back to edge 
Worcester Polytech 53-52 and up- 
set the highly-touted Springfield 
aggregation, which included All 
New England center Al Schutts. 
58-57. The final game of the sea- 
son saw the Ephs up against the 
Lord Jeffs from Amherst for the 
second time. At half-time the score 
was tied but the superbly-balanced 
Sabrina team pulled away in the 
third period to win 67-58.

Saturday. March 16 — Despite 
the loss to the Amherst quintet. 
Coach Bobby Coombs' freshman 
basketball team completed a win- 
ning season, with thirteen victories 
to their credit against only two 
losses. The two losses, to Amherst 
and the Siena Junior Varsity are 
partly due to the loss of center 
Tony Moro and forward Tom 
White. 

Although the team ended with a 
13-2 record tlie loss to Amherst 
prevented retaining the Little

Three contest the frosh easily 
downed Wesleyan in Lasell Gym 
a 68-47 score. With Moro sidelined

Ed Wcadoik '54 

A siiij^le vittorv in thirti'on attempts obviously limits any 
praise for tlie reeoril ol C^oacli Hell and his skaters. In spite ot 
a lack ol spectator su[)port, however, and an almost continuous 
strmn of resoundiun defeats, the spirit of the si|uad was amazing;. 

Uepeatcdiv tliKinj^hoiit the season the sextet tackled the best 
collegiate teanrs in tlie nation, and cauii' up with tjoals in almost 
every encounter. |ohn Pike, Capt. Harvey antl Ted Mitehell pro-

most of the games. 

Starke Shines at Goal 

Sophomore Rod Starke, leaving 
his spot at defense by mid-season 
to take over net tending duties 
from injured Bud Hudson, accom- 
plished a spectacular bit of read- 
justment to emerge as a topflight 
goalie by the close of the season, 
averaging over thirty saves per 
game. 

John Beard, high scorer for the 
team, along with second line stal- 



depth on the team combined with 
a series of injuries deprived Wil- 
liams of a third line. This absence 
led to an inevitable third period 
exhaustion of the first two lines. 

Traditionally poor skating con- 
ditions at Williamstown did little 
to help a team that needed prac- 
tice, but it was the extremely stiff 
competition the Purple faced in 
such teams as Brown, St. Lawrence 
and RPI that was the fundamental 
difficulty.

and Jack Hawkins started almost 
every game. Bill Suossbrick who 
played with a brace on his back 
was tlie fifth starter through the 
first three-fourths of the season. 
Mike Lazor won the nod for the

Coach Coombs said tht this

favorably with the unbeaten frosh 
quintet of 1947-48. He added that 
he expects Moro, whose 150 points 
in only eight games, gave him tlie 
high-scoring honors. White, Wil-

Harvard handed the Ephmen 
their second defeat of the season 
before a houseparty crowd by a 
7-2 count, as only George and 
riUlnghast were able to win 
against the powerful Crimson. 
Trinity and Wesleyan were easy 
marks as the Purple rolled into 
high gear, swamping the opposi- 
cion by 8-1 and 9-0 scores. 

Soapy Symington and sopho- 
more ace John Brownell were the 
only Ephmen able to gain vic- 
tories as the Yale juggernaut 
swept to a 7-2 triumph in aveng- 
ing its previous year's defeat. A 
successful defense of the Little 
Three Crown through a 7-2 de- 
feat of Amherst ended the season's 
dual matches before the Intercol- 
legiates at Harvard. 

Squires Bunner-up 

While three other Ephs reached 
the third round of competition be- 
fore being eliminated in the Na- 
tional tournament, it was Dick 
Squires who stole the show by 
fighting his way up to the finals 
before he was defeated 3-1 by 
first-seeded Charlie Ufford of Har- 
vard. This marked the first time 
in Purple annals that anyone had 
progressed beyond the quarter- 
final round. George, Brownell, and 
Symington were the other Eph- 
men to compete with such success. 

Prospects for next year are very 
bright. Coach Chaffee will have 
the nucleus of returning lettermen 
Squires, Symington , Brownell, 
Brucker and Fulkerson about 
which to mold his team, with a 
number of good Freshmen comint; 
up from the Little Three Cham- 
pion Yearlings to fill out the squad. 
Help will also be expected from 
upperelassmen Friend, Billings and 
Schrier. 



Bastert ... 

lie called the American Frontier. 
According to Turner's hypothesis, 
the importance ot the land In the 
westward expansion, was the chief 
fuctor in deciding American pro- 
gress. 

Turner's theory might be sum- 
med up in his own words: "The 
frontier shaped America no less 
than it shaped the pioneer". It was 
lurner's theory that the tree lands 
of the West served to decrease the 
economic restraints of the east, 
and that vices of the West were 
temporary and that cultural ad- 
vancement would come later. ^^^ 
Lecturer Disagrees 

After explaining all this, Bastert 
proceeded to give his reasons why 
he and many other modern his- 
torians believed that Turner's liy- 
pothesis was incorrect. He closed 
his lecture with the following 
statement. 

"I place my trust in the minds 
of men, seeking solutions by in- 
tellectual tools rather than by 
drift and habit, bold to find new 
ways of adjustment, and strong in 
the leadership that spreads new 
ideas among the peoples of the 
world; committed to the faith in 
peace on earth and ready to use 
the means of preserving it. Amer- 
icans, I hope will, not disagree."

Triumphal Finale 

Saturday. March 15— A lino

Championships and the dual meet 
defeat of Amherst were the only 
bright spots of the 1951-2 Wrestl- 
ini! season, which saw the Purple 
matmen emerge with a 1 and 5 
record. 

Misfortune befell the Ephmen 
in their first contest against a 
strong Harvard team, as ace 
heavyweight Pete Sutherland was 
injured and knocked out of com- 
petition for the entire season. Tlie 
Purple then dropped three in sue -

Springfield 13 - 18. and Coast

opponent as the Purple sought to 
defend their Little Three Crown 
of three years tenure. Despite in- 
dividual victories by Bill Callag- 
han. who went through the season 
undefeated, Bob Shorb and Dick 
Edwards, the Ephmen were de- 
feated 19-9 as Wesleyan won the 
Little Three Title. 

Amherst was the scene of the 
final dual meet and the only Pur- 
ple win of the campaign, as the 
Ephs routed the Sabrinas 19-11. 
gaining second place in the Little

commented the Plttsfleld editor. 
We, however, don't try to 
hide our reporter's talents under 
a basket. . . 

Living Conditions 

Noting that many reporters who 
first started out with city papers 
later switched to small town 
dailies. Miller pointed to the rela- 
tive comforts of the small town 
way of life. "But frankly," warned 
tlie editor, "it won't be easy at 
first for the married man. Have 
you ever tried supporting a wife 
and kids on fifty dollars a week'?" 

Mr. Miller urged anyone start- 
IrK out in journalism to pick his 
paiier carefully, avoiding the tab- 
loids and the chain paper whose 
news slant, fixed editorial policy 
and "frank sensationalism" ac- 
cording to the Berkshire editor, 
destroy the paper's integrity. "Get 
on the right paper", he empha- 
sized, "not one which has the in- 
teKiity of a Five and Ten Cents 
store window display." 

Cut Throat Competition 

"Sensationalism has no part in 
the small town paper" continued 
Mr. Miller, taking his own paper 
as an example. The small town 
paper, without local competition, 
can avoid sensationalism, the edi- 
tor stressed. "Cut throat competi- 
tion among city dailies brings in 
.seii.sationalism while integrity is 
one of the strengths of a monopoly 
like ours . . We can avoid being 
dogmatic in our editorials and 
flamboyant in our stories. . ." 

"Independence, freedom from 

outside pressure, a chance to help 

the community — these are some of 

the advantages of our monopoly

Saturday, March 15 — An inspcc-

headed by Col. A. T. Prontczak, 
conducted the annual federal in- 
spection of the Williams APROIC 
unit today and yesterday. The 
KToup came from headquarters, 
I'irst Air Force, located at Mitchell

Friday, Including an officer devel- 
opment course In which student 
lectui'ers spoke. Today was devot-

Willi unit officers. 

Superior in Past 

Yesterday President James P. 
Baxter III held a luncheon at his 
liome for the inspectors and tlie 
officers of tlie Williams unit. Last 
evening members of the college 
ROTC staff held an informal gath- 
ering at the Faculty Club in honor 
(if tlie visitors. 

For the last three years the 
Williams unit has won superior 
ratings. Since that time these 
awards have been eliminated. 
However, Col. John Lawrence, 
ROTC commander, said, "I'm con- 
fident that due to our increa-sed 
activity piogram, doubled enroll- 
ment, and overall high caliber of 
perfoimance. we will present as 
good a showing this year as we 
liave In the past." 

Increased Activity 

The inci-ea-sed activity program 
includes a mimeographed ROTC 
newspaper, called the "Military 
Secret." which is put out monthly 
by a staff of six undergraduates 
headed by Arthur Levitt '52. It Is 
about ten pages in length. The 
Rifle Team, also new. has already 
conducted several mail matches, in 
which scoi'es are mailed between 
teams. 

The recently installed drum and 
bugle corps and honor drill team 
will perfoim when drill begins 
again sometime after spring vaca- 
tion. Last year's enrollment of 
about 200 in the Williams unit has 
neaiiy doubled this year, and 
future expectations are even high- 
er.

Tuesday. March 18 — In an effort 
to improve the limited recreational 
facilities now offered to Williams- 
town high school students, the 
local chapter of the United Chris- 
tian "i'outh Movement is making 
plans to convert the now unused 
Williamstown Opera House, locat- 
ed on Water Street across from 
Grundy's Oarage, Into a youth 
center. 

Members of local churches have 
formed a committee which agrees 
to give over the center, when 
completed .to the town on a non- 
denominational basis. 

ColIcKe Owned 

Raising $400 to rent the opera

raising money and generally fur- 
thering the plan. 

Before the construction of the 
Adams Memorial Theatre, all col-

Flying Club Buys 
New Cessna 140 



Cost Met by Loans, 
Sale of Old Plane 

Monday. Maich 17- David Bur- 
gher '53, president of the Flying 
Club, announced the purchase of 
a new club plane at a meeting in 
.Jcsup Hall this evening. The plane 
a used Ces.sna 140, is expected to 
be capable of greater speed and 
operating economy than the one 
previously used. 

Finance to meet the $1800 price 
for the new plane was derived 
fi-om three souices. The sale of the 
club's, Aeionca bi-ought $400 
while $700 was loaned by members 
of the oiganization. A Williams- 
town bank loaned the final $700, 
to be repaid quarterly by the club. 
This loan was underwritten by 
the SAC. 

First Attempt Falls 

Pi-eviously the Plying Club had 
asked for a direct loan of $1400, 
but this proposal was tui-ned down 
by the SAC due to lack of funds. 
The executive committee of the 
council however, suggested an al- 
ternative plan whereby the loan 
might be made by a bank and 
undei-written by the SAC. This 
plan was altered so as to reduce 
the amount of the loan and relieve 
some of the pressuie on the coun- 
cil. 

A new constitution was read by 
Peter Mczey '52. After dtscussion 
of several articles and by-laws, 
the document was ratified and 
.signed by the 15 membeis pre- 
sent. Included in the rules and by- 
laws wei-e regulations aimed at 
better regulating reservation of the 
plane, and more equal allotment 
of flying time. 

Fines To Be Levied 

In order to aid in raising money 
towaid payment of the club debt, 
certain fines were thought advis- 
able. Also. It was decided that full 
charge should be made to those 
who signed for the plane at defi- 
nite houis and who fail to make 
use of it. 



Sunday. Maixih 16— President 
James P. Baxter III said today 
that after consulting with student 
Kioups, trustees, alumni and fac- 
ulty members he found "no ade- 
quate grounds" for attempting to 
institute deferred rushing before 
completion of a student union 
building and f i-eshman center in 
1953. 

"We want to start deferred 
rushing off under the best pos- 
.sible auspices." he said, "not in a 
makeshift or hasty fashion," 
Discussed Matter "Afresh" 

The Williams trustees voted last 
January 19 to inaugurate deferred 
lushing when the new building 
projects are completed in the 
autumn of 1953. 

The president .said he had "dis- 
cussed the matter afresh" with 
I the Undergraduate Council and 
I members of the Sterling Commit- 
tee in tlie light of some student 
feeling that defei-red ru.shing 
.should be put into effect at once. 

He .said that neither group con- 
curred with the pi-oposal. 

Therefoi'e. he said, "there seems 
to me to be no adequate grounds 
for me to recommend to the 
Board of Trustees that they re- 
considei- their action of January 
19." 

President Baxter also discussed 
the question March 12 at a 
luncheon meeting with members of 
the steering committee of the 
League for Total Membership and 
Associate Professor James M. 
Burns. The proposal to advance 
to next fall deferred rushing and 
separate fieshman dining was 
made by Seth L. Shapiro '53 in a 
recent letter to the editor of the 
RECORD. 

The League for Total Member- 
ship is composed of students, 
faculty mcmbei-s. and alumni whn 
favor the adoption of a system of 
complete fraternity membership at 
Williams. N. Arnold Levin '52 is 
chairman of the steering commit- 
tee, which comprises 12 members 
elected from the membership of 
the League. 

Support McCleUan Plan 

Louis P. Remick '53. member of 
the steering committee, reports 
that the league Is currently devot- 
ing Its efforts to the adoption by 
the college the McCleUan Plan to 
prevent stratification of fratei-nity 
houses under a system of defen-ed 
rushing. 

Remick added that the forth- 
coming student union building 
"will aid In pioviding social facili- 
ties, as did the Garfield Club, but 
win not be a solution to the piob- 
lem. We of the league think that 
total rushing Is the only solution 
to the basic problem of the non- 
fraternity man." 



Baxter Signs Freedom Message 
Broadcast to Communist Peoples 



Appeal Requests Russia 
To Revive Principles 
Of 1917 Revolution 



cr 



Wednesday, March 12 — Presi- 
dent James P. Baxter HI was 
among a group of 60 prominent 
Americans who signed a message 
which was bioadcast to the Rus- 
sian people today calling for a 
"new triumph of freedom" In the 
Communist country. 

The message, commemorating 
the thirty-flfth anniversary of the 
democratic Russian Revolution of 
March 12, 1917. was sent to Rus- 
sia and all countries behind the 
Iron Curtain by the Voice of 
America. Radio Pi'ee Europe, and 
other Western information .serv- 
ices. 

Senators Join 

Signed by well-known citizens. 
Including a bi-partisan group of 
U. S. Senators, the message maiks 
the overthrow of Czar Nicholas 
and the establishment of a repub- 



lic later destroyed by an armed 
Communist coup. 

The signers stated "We re.iect 
as a libel on all humanity the 

' Kremlin's efforts to convince us 
that the ideals of liberty and jus- 

I tice which inspired you in March 

1917. no longer live in your hearts." 

Recall Liberty 

' They recalled that the first acts 
of the revolutionary government 

I at that time provided freedom of 
speech, press, and assembly, liber- 
ated political prisoners, ended re- 
ligious and racial restrictions, 
abolished the secret police, and 
set up machinery for establish- 
ment by universal suffrage of a 
constituent assembly. 

"We know." the message con- 
cluded, "that until the democratic 
principles which inspired you 
thirty-five years ago achieve their 
secure triumph, the United States 
and other free nations, as well as 
the nations held in captivity by

Chapin Exhibit Honors 
Harriet Stowe Classic 



Display Features Copies 
Of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' 



Wednesday. March 19— The one- 
liundredth anniversary of the pub- 
lication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be ob- 
served tonight in Chapin Memorial 
Librai-y at 7:30 p. m. Mr. Luther 
S. Mansfield. Associate Professor 
of English, delivers a talk In con- 
nection with the librai-y's display 
of original and early editions of 
'Uncle Tom." 

Mr. Mansfield's lecture will be 
followed by scenes from Florence 
Byerson and Colin Clement's 
"Harriet." 

The exhibition, prepared by 
Martin K. Howes, Chapin Library 
Custodian, includes a first edition 
copy of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" pub- 
lished in 1852 by John P. Jewett 
and Co. of Boston. Prior to 1852, 
the book had appeared in serial 
form in the "National Era," a 
leading anti-slavery weekly. 

Foreign Translations 

Included in the exhibition will 
be an early English edition of the 
novel in 13 weekly parts with illus- 
trations by George Cruikshank 
along with "The Uncle Tom's 
Almanac." Early editions in 
Flench and German, contempo- 
rary criticisms, an early dramatic 
version, and other writing by Mrs. 
Stowe form the remainder of the 
exhibition. 

Mrs Stowe's first published lit- 
erary work, "Prize Tale; A New 
England Sketch", published at 
Lowell, Mass. in 1834 is perhaps 
her best known work besides 
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." A first edi- 
tion of this novel, one of four 
copies owned by public libraries, 
will be on display. 

Over 6,000,000 Copies 

"Uncle Tom's Cabin," hailed as 
the "Iliad of the blacks," was im- 
mediately a best seller and was 
translated into 40 foreign lan- 
guages. It seems probable that 
over three million copies of the 
book have been sold in the United 
States with the total world-wide 
distribution probably exceeding 
six and a half million, 

A year after the publication of 
"Uncle Tom," Mrs. Stowe prepared 
a "Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 
which she accumulated a large 
number of documents and testi- 
monies against the slavery evil. 
Two variant copies of the first 
edition of this book are on exhibit, 
one in paper covers and the other 
In original cloth boards. 

The scenes from "Harriet," di- 
rected by William J. Martin of the 
Adams Memorial Theatre, will cast 
Eve Child as Harriet. Other roles 
will be played by Dorothy Little, 
Jean and Betsy Bi-yant, Timothy 
Beard '53, Robert Burioughs '54, 
John Stone '52, Russell Carpenter 
'54, and Seth Schaplro '53.

The construction of four false 
cliimneys on top of West College 
during recent weeks may appear 
cui'ious since the building will have 
neither fireplaces nor a heating 
system of its own when the pres- 
ent i-econstruction is completed ')y 
the opening of college next fall 

Interviewed bricklayers failed to 
give any explanation for the new 
addition which did not adorn the 
building before It was gutted by a 
Christmas vacation fire in Janu- 
ary. 1951. 

Member of the art department, 
however, revealed that the 16 foot 
brick structures were necessary to 
insure architectural and historical 
suitability. Built in 1791. the orig- 
inal West College belonged to a 
period when heating was done 
completely with fireplaces. Hence 
chimne.vs were an indispensable 
part of construction. 

Practical Uses 

Mr. Peter Welanetz. Superinten- 
dent of Buildings and Grounds 
stated, however, that the chim- 
neys will have other than aesthetic 
value. Although no fireplaces are 
to be installed in the reconstruct- 
ed suites, the chimneys will be 
used as outlets for the air circulat - 
ing ducts from the stairwells. 

Vents will also open into the 
chimneys from the bathroom ven- 
tilation system or from the sewer 
gas venting system. Exhaust from 
the emergency lighting plant in 
the basement will also be conduct- 
ed out one of the chimneys, which 
will also serve as foundations for 
lightning i-ods. 

Another change designed to 
achieve a greater degree of his- 
torical accuracy is seen In the 
changed cupola which is higher 
and nari'ower than its predecessor. 



Plan to Cut Down 
Uninvited Visitors 



College Inaugurates 
Guest Card System 



Monday. March 17— A new set 
(if college rules designed to limit 
1 he influx of uninvited visitors on 
liouseparty weekends, keep Sun- 
day houseparty activities "small, 
informal and quiet," and restrict 
the number of social occasions 
financed out of house funds, has 
been announced to the UC by 
Dean Brooks. Commenting on the 
new rules. Dean Brooks said that 
the houseparty visitor problem has 
increased in all New England col- 
leges since the war. He indicated 
that several other colleges will 
soon join with Williams in estab- 
lishing a guest card system, under 
which identification of visitors at 
fraternity dances will be enforced. 
Sunday Parties 

Siiiee the holding of joint fra- 
ternity functions on Sunday makes 
it dilTicult for house officers to 
maintain the necessary decorum. 
all activities on Sunday have been 
confined to single fraternities. 
Anything which might attract 
outside attention has been ruled 
out by the Dean. 

In line with the report of re- 
tiring Chairman George Bartlett 
of the UC Entertainment Commit- 
tee that its operations have been 
ineffective. Dean Brooks an- 
nounced that he has taken over 
the job of handling applications 
tor social functions in fraternities. 

Curfew hour for women in Pi-a- 
ternlty Houses have been stand- 
ardized for the entii'e college.

Publisher Charges 'Official Intimidation' 



Saturday, Mar, 15 — Reversing a 
previous statement Gov, Paul A, 
Dever declared that the contro- 
versial book, "USA Confidential" 
has not been officially banned, 
Dever told the press last night 
that "There has been no ban nor

However, Samuel Post, of the

that Murphy had "merely passed 
out advice." 

Murphy's "advice" was stimu- 
lated by Harvard graduates who 
were concerned with the book's 
attacks on their school. Several 
faculty members of the Harvard 
Law School, however, declared 
that Murphy had acted beyond his 
jurisdiction.

Raymond Washburn, owner of 
the College Book Store, declared 
that he was elated to hear Dever's 
statements. During the so-called

Non-Affiliate Representation 

For ()\iT a liioiitli the uoii-lratcniitv nicii at Williams ha\(.' 
luul no voice in campus <j;o\cniniciit. Since tlic ri'sit;nation of 
the C^artiekl Chil) reprcseiitati\cs from tlie Undi'ri^raduale Coun- 
cil, tlie colletje i;(i\ crnmenta! hoclv has hi'cn composed strictly of 
fraternity men. One fifth of the eollcne has no sav in student 
affairs. If the collci^e desires to seek out nou-affiliate opinion on 
some important issue such as the ])laiininn of the new Student 
llnion it can turn to no official source h)r its information. .Mthoiiirli 
it is true that the ( Garfield CMuh i^ave up its riijht of re|)resentati()u 
of its own fri'e will, it is also true that it is unlair that oni' out ol 
every live stuileiils should have no voice in campus gONcnimcnt. 
Ortainlv all Williams men should be represented if the Vmlcr- 
<S,raduiitv Ooimcil is to li\e up to its name ami not become an 
Intcrfidtcnuli/ ( ;ouncil. 

We do not pi'0|5ose to jjamper the non-affiliates who i;ave up 
their UC ])osts of their own fiec will. The whole college however, 
must be represented on the student i;o\erninii; board. Therefore 
we urjre the present Undert^raduate Council to study means tor 
leestablishiuir all-iollej^e inemhership to the UC. We see two wavs 
of doinir this. The non-alhliates could vote by clas.ses and elect 
one reiiresentative ]Kt class. This would gi\c this fifth of the 
eolk'ne one sixth of the votes on the UC. It would mean that one 
man would speak for fifty fellow students. This is aliiu)st <'.\actly 
the same ratio of representative to represented that the Irateiiiitii'S 
enjoy at presi-nt. If the non-affiliate election were carried out on a 
class basis anti ukmi who do not eat at (^mrier Hall were insured 
llu' ri<;ht to vote in these elections, no stigma of hypocrisy coidd 
be attached to e.\-Garfield CJlnb men who fa\ored the CHub's 
dissolution. 

The other solution to this problem would be to change the 
(iresent basis for ehoosinu; UC members. This would entail takius; 
UC membership out of the houses. .Although this miij;ht seem 
unfeasible at first, it would l)e entirely possible to have house 
officers working under the Dean's office take chari^e of enlorciiii; 
house social rules while a se]5aratc bodw elected from the eolley;e 
as a whole and perhajis includin<; certain campus activ ities, nm 
the political life of Williams. This action would rciluee the houses 
to a true social unit status and woukl tleeniphasize the political 
importance of fiatcruities on campus. 

Sonic change from the present situation is needed. ;\tl Wil- 
liams must take ])art in the nninins; of imdcri^radiuite affairs. The 
Undergraduate Comicil iinist tlecide to undertake one of these two 
alternati\es to reinstate lull campus representation.

The other day my attention was ealli'tl to an old f'rieiul of 
mine who had spent a suTnmer tourina; Europe and was still re- 
coverinj^ from his French accent. lie is a likeable chap hut impres- 
sionable to a fault and since he lias been back there have been 
moments when even his hi'st friends have crini^ed. 

Me was easier to brinir fruit to a buddinp; romance the seeds 
of which were sown on fi)rcij;;n soil. Torn between a range of poses. 
he pondered several epistulary approaches to the young lady. Ik'i 
name was Wendy. 

Tlic Contincnlii] Approach 
Chere Wendie, 

Ah, it has been so long! 1 remember well Capri . . . and vou. 
The olive trees in bloom and the intimate piaza, C'est tres char- 
mant! Ah, those supeih people! I knew those people. I used to 

walk in the hills after tea at the hotel. But around us both you 

and me — the aziire-hhu- sea. the robins-egi;-blue sky, those 
emerald colored hills. There was a beauty. Gone now. But ))er- 
haps you and I shall meet as^ain. \ j^lass of wine ... a small cafe , . , 
von , , . and ... I . . , 

The Cnoil-fcUotc Approach 
Hi Wendy! 

Boy it's great to he back in the old country, eh! It was great ' 
to he in Europe, too! Well, how have vou been'? I've been "kickin' i 
around"! But it's great to be back in college again, even if Europe ! 
was fun, too! I met Tetl the other day. Yon remember Ted, don't 
vou? He's a riot! I think vou met him, but anyway, he's (). K, 1 
sure would like to see you again! We could really gc?t together 
and have a great time! Well, take care of yourself, kid! Don't 
take any uranium knickles (ha), and , , , 

The Tom Soul Approach 
Wendy — 

The melting snow is rmuiing in gentle tricklets over the win- 
dow next to me. Outside the rpiiet of the cool bleak day sends 
small children scurring to their homes and the warm firesides. It 
is beautiful, winter. Oil, severe, cold winter! Honest winter! The 
pure snow purges the heart, which, turning like the friglitened 
doe at eventide, follows a hidden trail to its home, its seclusion. 
How beaiitifid it must hi' to find one cherished thing to fiirust in 
our storm-tossed world. I recall now a distant wind that blew 
across the stillest Seine, and vou were there , , . Paris ami von . , . 
Praniatic Talc Approach 

\ man was walking along the cold, dark jiuigle path, lie held 
his coat tight against the wind that whipped through the wet trees, 
and he sfiuinted against the swirling leaves. His face was thin and 
(lale, his hands honey and bhu-. He fought on a way, then suddenly 
sat down, drawing his coat tighter. His hair was blown and 
matted, and bis thin hands kneaded the coat. "It's been a long 
time now," he thought, "It was one of those sunny Paris days in 
June . . . 

The I'liniii/ Fable Approach 

Wendy, I was walking along a wigglv little road on a for- 
gotten island, when I came across a jollv aardvark. 

"Hello, Aardvark. " I laughed. 

"Hello, Hinnan. " he chuckled. 

"How are you, .Aardvark, " 1 chortled. 

"Not so well," he giggled . . .

" coui-aKBOus aspirants of physical combat, "lis Rugby time 
(iiice again. 

With the glories of the past gridiron season complete and filed 
away In the nnnals of Williamsiana, there appealed recently a 
iiminiscenl but curious spectre. It was the shadow of football's aged 
iiiicestor, Rugby! 

As the spring approaches, and vacation draws near, students at 
miiiiy colleges head southward, destination: Berniuda. Kach year 
.,t this time, also, Fan- American Airlines (purely lor publicity rea- 
sons) provides an all expense paid trip for any and all comere' 
representliiK their college In the Hermuda Invitalionai Kugby Matches. 
Having visions of the island's luxurious splendor, two men from Wil- 
liams set to work to form an "lOph fifteen". (That's a new one. Ed. 
note: Each team will field l") combatants.) With entries from Har- 
vard, Yale, and Princeton it was decided by Coaches Jack Melcher 
and Kudy (iarfield. of AII-Ann-rica Chess fame, that their team also 
would provide a feature atlracdon lor i'an-American. (With all 
cvpenses paid, why not'??) 

poR THOSE who are unaccniainled with the game of Rugby, may 
I enlighten you. Each team Is "equipped with" 15 gladlator.s. 
lined up on an oversized football field with an oblate .spheroid at the 
line of ".scrummage". (Yes the word is ".scrummage") Somebody 
yells "GO!" and all Hell breaks loo.se. After the fir.st 15 minutes of 
play if thei-e are no serious casualties, llie contest is stopped — lack 
of .spirit. At half-time, grounds crews are employed to clear the field 
of all debris which may have collected ^ arms. toes, teeth, etc. Score 
Is kept according to how many men are killed on each side. 

Unlike our football, time-outs are not allowed. Forward passing 
is illegal as Is duwnfield interference. After the bail is put in play 
al "scrummage" a "scrum" starts. With neither team wearing any 
lirotective equipment, the offensive team attempts to put the in- 
flated hide over the opponents goal line by any means they are, 
physically capable of. ramiliar to the l{erniu<la affairs are many 
performers either obviously in need of or <'ompietely saturated with al- 
coholic stimulants — for medicinal purpose of course. 
P rUANGELY enough, a decided lack of intcwst thwarted the hopes 
of Lords Melcher and Garfield. "The trouble was," stated 
playcr-coach-manager Melcher. "everyone was afraid that once we 
i;ot down there, that we might really have to play." If spirit and sup- 
port arc high enough next season, however, the invitation still holds. 
What .say, you athleU's — "A spot of tea after the bloody Ijout?"

fifth match, Charles "Soapy" 
Symington defeated John Brownell 
to win the 1952 Williams College 
Squash Championship. 

After dropping the first game, 
Symington won two straight 15-11 
and 15-C to take the lead. Brownell 
evened the count with a 15-8 vic- 
tory in the fourth game, but Sym- 
ington bested the sophomore in 
the last contest to cinch the title. 

In reaching the final round, 
Symington downed, in order, Pete 
Pickard, Hank Schrelr, and Tom 
Adkins, after drawing a first 
round bye, and then blasted third 
seeded Ray George off the court, 
3-0. 

Squires Forced to Default 

Brownell, displaying winniii;! 
form, earned the right to meet 
Symington in the finals by van- 
(lui.shing five opiionents, including 
a 3-0 semi-final win over Tom 
Blacker. 

Top-seeded Dick Squires, last 
year's title holder, was forced to

To Begin This Week 

Closing the regular season with 
a victory over the previously un- 
I beaten Phi Gams, the Deke cagers 
finished In a fir.st.-place tie with 
the Fiji's in Tuesday League in- 
tramural play. The Thursday di- 
vision which clo.sed its scheduled 
activities arch 6 al.so wound up in 
a dead heat between the AD's and 
the Chi Psi's. 

i The Dekes' 22-14 win over Phi 
! Gam. v\'ith Chuck Salmon's 10 
points setting the pace, made the 
victors slight favorites in the forth 
coming playoff game. The teams 
had identical 6-1 records for the 
season. 

AD's Also Favored 
Meanwhile, the once-defeated 
AD's were given the edge over 
the Chi Psi's by virtue of a 22-14 \ 
victory in their last outing. The 
underdogs, however, present the 
top one-two scoring punch in in- 
tramural circles in Paul Doyle and 
Ken Heekin. Neither divisional 
playoff date had been set at press 
time. 

Elsewhere in the Tuesday brac- 
ket, the Phi Sigs i4-3i and the

Bowdoin Presents 
Major Opposition 

Eph Hopes Depend 
On Martin, Jones 

by Jud Klein, '54 

Sunday, Mar. 16— The NEISA 
championships, scheduled for Mar. 
21-22 at M.I.T., figure to develop 
into a private two-college affair, 
at least in the eyes of Bob Muir. 
The Eph swimming coach, as well 
versed as any on the water sport 
hei cibouts. sees only one major 
barrier — Bowdoin — between the 
Pui|)le and the coveted New Eng- 
land intercollegiate team title. 

Williams' chances depend main- 
ly on their ace freestyle pair of 
Dick Martin and Don Jones, the 
meet's only two-event winner a 
yeai' ago. Although Trinity's and 
Brown's 48 points apiece of a 257 
total was tops last year, Muir 
thinks a less-evenly matched field 
should force the winners score 
this time well into the 50's. 
Jones Eph 220 Candidate 

If Muir dares use Martin in the 
opening 300-yd medley relay, 'Wil- 
liam.s .should walk away with the 
event. In order to save the strap- 
ping sprinter for later tests, how- 
ever. Muir likely w'ill start Dave 
Byeily, John Belash, and Rick 
Jeffrey. The latter trio has post- 
ed limes about on a par with the 
other top entries. 

Jones is defending 220-yd. free- 
style champion, but Brown's Jim 
Cameron holds a dual-meet de- 
cision over him. Bowdoin's Bob 
McGrath and Amherst's Roy Gree- 
ber also are strong in the event. 
Other Eph possibilities in the 220 
are John Beard. Joe Worthington, 
and even Mariin. who holds the 
New England record. 

Martin Holds 50 Mark 

Martin also holds the New Eng- 
land 50-yd. sprint record, but fa- 
ces strong competition from Ralph 
Brisco of Brown, Merc Tate of 
Amherst, Wesleyan's Dick Barth, 
winner last year, and McGrath, 
the previous record-holder. 

The Purple's Max Rogers will 
probably rate no better than a 
third or fourth in the dive. De- 
fending champion Larry Boyle of 
Bowdoin, Springfield's Pat Hud- 
dleston, and Brov\n's Dick Pfann- 
kuc appear to be the cream of the 
divers.

New Faculty Committee 

To Designate Students 

For Graduate Aid 

Wedncsdiiy, Miuch 19 — Mole 
tlmn $10,000 ill prizi^s and griid- 
uate scholuiships for the comiiv; 
>e 1- are at stake for outstanding 
Williams seiiiois who file upphca- 
tions by March 25.

them providing for study abroad, 
will be decided Manh 27 by a i4- 
man faculty ComiiiiUee on Prli'.es 
and Graduate FcUowships. 
StreamliniiiK Move 

The new commilU'e, headed by 
President James P Baxter III, 
was created in a streamlinhiK 
move to replace six separate com- 
mittees which for years had divid- 
ed the Job of making awards. 

Under the old sysiem. President 
Ba.xter said, "There was the con- 
stant risk that we did not always 
give the necessary information to 
all possible candidates or that we 
did not always have before us the 
best possible candidates." 

Applicants for awards must file 
papers by March 25 with Henry 
i'lynt, Jr.. student aid director. 
Scholarship Awards 

AmoiiB this year's awards, total- 
ing more than $10,000, are the 
Horace F. Clark Prize scholarship, 
providing two one-year graduate 
tcholarshlps of $500 each in any 
field of study: the Conant- Har- 
rington prize "to that senior best 
suiied for graduate study in bic- 
logy": and the Hubbard Hutchin- 
son Memorial scholarship for two 
years of graduate study at $3,000 
a year. 

The winner of this Hutchinson 
scholarship should have shown 
creative talent in music, writing, 
or painting, but applicants of out- 
standing ability in philosophy cr 
the sciences will be considered if 
there is no satisfactory applicant 
in the arts. 

Other scholarship awards in- 
clude the Charles Bridgen Lansing 
scholarship in Latin and Greek, 
the John Edinund Moody scholar- 
ship, providing for two years of 
study at Oxford University in Kng- 
lanri. and the Cavvoll A. Wilson 
scholarship, also providing for 
post-graduate study at Oxford.

Swimming . . . 

The 100 yd freestyle could de- 
develop into a re-run of the 50. 
Hie same favorites rule, with 
Martin again owning the best 
lime. Belash, John Beard, and 
Sam Kimberly also are Williams 
entries. 

Amherst's Don Wassie appears 
as a good bet to ivpeat his win of 
a year Lgo in the 200-yd. back- 
stroke, although McGrath has 
ttliippi'd him. Bowdoin's Bob Ar- 
wezon and the Eplis' Dave Byerly 
aiso might surprise. 
Jeffrey, Douglas in Breaststroke 

Muir rates the breaststroke one 
of his strongest events, with Jef- 
frey and Charlie Douglas slated 
to enter. Springfield's Bill Yorzyk 
owns the only clocking better than 
Jeffrey's fastest. 

The only loss which Jones has 
suffered in the 440-yd. freestyle 
since his victory in last year's 
New- Euglands came at the hands 
of teammate Worthington. Outside 
competition likely will come from 
Wesleyan's Jan Vandenburg and 
Tom Lyndon of Bowdoin. 

Huwdoin Relay Favorite 

Muir intends to send Worthing- 
ton into the 300-yd. individual 
medley against .such versatile stars 
as Cameron, Yorzyk, and Arwezon, 

Bowdoin should cop the final 
400-yd. freestyle relay without 
much trouble, but the Purpda 
quartet of Martin. Jones, Belash, 
and either Kimberly or Beard 
could easily cop second. 



Intramurals . . . 

Edging into the cage spotlight, 
the interfraternily volleyball race 
got underway Monday, as the Psi 
U's faced the Betes, Phi Sig squar- 
ed off against AD. Phi Delt met 
Zeta Psi and the Kaps took on a 
power-laden faculty aggregation. 

The long overdue consolation 
round of the inter-house squash 
tourney has been delayed again 
by the lack of suitable runoff date. 
The Phi Delts and the Zetes ad- 
vanced to the quarter finals with 
victories over Phi Gam and DU. 
respectively, in the second round. 
The Phi Delts meet the winner of 
the Saint-Beta contest, while the 
Zetes take on the Psi U-D Phi 
victor. 

The winner of the consolation 
round takes on the Sig Phi's foi 
.-;econd place in the final standings. 
The Sigs fell before the Chi Psi's 
in the championship final.

lilhil uninvited quests from creating; rowdy scenes on the Williams

was being victimized.

,is a very rare early sixteenth centur\' tapestry woven in Tournai 
repi'csenting "Mope" or "The Consolation of the Three \'irtues." 

In the basement of the building lecreatiou facilities are |)ro- 
\ide(l for the lacult\'. These include two bowling alleys, ping pong 
tables, billiard tables, and two .shuffle board courts. On the 
second floor there are two guest rooms that may be reser\ed hv 
any club member. Another outstanding featiuc is the dining room 
where club members may gi\(' piixatc paifics. The building was 
furnished b\' Mr. Williams with mau\' pieces from his home anil 
fioni other southern estates. 

Waterman Board Chairman O 



Thursday, March 20 — Before a 
near capacity crowd in the Thomp 
son Biology Laboratory today, Mr, 
Jack B. Ludwig. instructor in Eng- 
lish, delivered the final lecture 
in ihe Faculty Lecture Series, Mr, 
Ludwig's talk entitled. "Art and 
The Audience", pointed out the 
attitude of the modem public's 
attitude toward modern literature. 

Mr. Ludwig accredited the ori- 
gin of the present attitude toward 
modern literature to the change 
from art as art to art as a craft. 
This was brought about when au- 
thor:; '"pped writing for the de- 
sires o ,5atrons, and yielded to the 
requirements of the publisher, the 
reader and the reviewer. 

He then pointed out the diverse 
schools of thought about modern 
writing, sa.ving that literature is 
called obscure, unrealistic, and in 
some cases fantasy. He concluded 
with the statement that the scien- 
tist gets complete freedom and is 
never .judged for his accomplish- 
ments, and all that the artist asks 
is not to be pre-judged. 



donnelly Receives

Inspechon to Empliasize 

Clean Eating Facilities 

Sanitary Provisions 



Saturday, Mar. 22 — After many 
years of apathy toward the sani- 
tation problem of Willlamstown's 
restaurants and drugstores, the 
Board of Health has decided to 
undertake a "clean up or shut 
down" campaign. This action is 
being directed by chairman Lois 
Demayo. and he will be assisted by 
Dr. Thomas Urmy, who recently 
became a member of the board. 

Last f;ill all restaurants in this 
area received a special sta'^e in- 
spection, after which it was re- 
ported that, although 70"- of them 
were in respectable condition, the 
remainn;': 30';; needed much im- 
provemmt. Some establishments 
received scores as low as fifty out 
of a po : ible one hundred points. 
Individual Scores Not Released 

No flf ures for individual res- 
taurant^ will be released, since the 
Board ol Health hopes that it can 
accomplish what is needed in a 
"gentleman-like" manner. In gen- 
eral the cleanliness of the facili- 
ties and the sloppy handling of 
the food are the two things which 
must bf improved. 

During the last few years this 
same problem has arisen numer- 
ous times, but lack of action by 
town officials resulted in no im- 
provements. The Board has mow 
taken complete control and has 
the authority to force action from 
the drugstores and restaurants. 

As a part of the general "clean- 
up" and sanitation program, the 
Board plans to conduct a rabies 
clinic sometime next week.

Saturday, Mar, 22— "The Power 
of God in Daily Living", a preach- 
ing and healing mission conducted 
by the Reverend aird Mrs, Edgar 
Sanford. will center around a 
series of services at the St. John's 
Church, March 23-27. 

Operating on the principle that 
the diseases of many people lie in 
their minds, not in their bodies, 
the mission alms (o help individ- 
uals apply faith to everyday life. 
The leaders of the mission claim 
they see "no conflict between the 
use of spiritual means in healing 
and medical practice". 
Not a Cult 

Mrs. Sanford asserts that the 
mission is not a cult or a fad and 
it does not bear any relation to 
Christian Science. Interested in 
theories only as they apply to the 
practice of healing, she beli-Eves 
that "the church universal is suf- 
ficient framework for the develop- 
ment of the recreating power of 
God." 

Author of "Healing Light" and 
"Oh. Watchman' Mrs. Sanford 
claims to have Iconed "through 
experiment and ijvayer those ad- 
.iustments to Gori that set free 
His power to heal". "Healing 
Light", which has sold nearly 
100,000 copies, tells of various 
people she has heliied and healed. 
Conduct Classes 
Although Mi^Satpford is the 
rector of parl^nSm 'Westboro and 
Hopklnton. Mass.. Mrs. Sanford 
conducts classes and gives lectures 
In several cities and other commu- 
nities The Reverend and Mrs. San- 
ford have Just returned from a 
mission in Charlotte. S, C. and 
similar conferences have been 
held throughout the United States 
and in England and Canada. 

The mission has scheduled a 
morning talk each day by Mr. 
Sanford. followed in the evening 
by a series of lectures by Mrs 
Sanford. Holy Communion viU

Hang on the Bell, Nellie . . . 

\l(>n(la\', till' .uliiiiiiistratidii aiiiiimiici'il its new set ul social lulcs 
to the C'oii.sti'niatioii of some and to tlic ri'llcl of others. It was evi- 
dent that the situation deinancled a ehaime h)r some time l)eeanse 
ol tile e\'er inereasiiiy; disregard tor student social rnles. Student 
jfowrmiient was nnahle to eope ade(|natelv uith the situation, and 
the Dean's Oltiee and the Oiseipline (.'ominittee were loncd to 
.step in. The new rules re|)resent almost entireU a desirabli' step 
toward an imprmeinent o\-er the social situation that existed prior 
to Mouihiv niL;ht. \t iiiiK' one point do we dissent IVom auri'einent 
with the remilatioiis and think that a niore liberal snbslitiiti' wonld 
he better. 

Kstablishin-^ (lie i;nest card s\'stein to close Williams week- 
ends to the uninvited, 'prolessional' weekentler will ipiiet down 
lionseparties ami result in what is a more pleasant time for a 
laiije number ol Williams men. Since other colleges are '^I'ini^ to 
institute the same svstem and since the collen<' is still allouini^ a 
number of quests (the exact figure is b\- no means sacred for all 
time) to come to Williams on housepart\- weekends. Miere is no 
reason to find fault with this rule. Indeed, the undernradnates 
must aid die Dean's Office in seeint; that this rule is carried out in 
order to make Williams weekends more enjoyable. I'olice are 
iiecessar\- to enforce this rule, hir Iraternitx- officers. Iia\ ini; dates 
themselves in man\' cases, wonld be powerless ai;aiiist a mob of 
outsiders who wished to muscle their wa\' into a house dance. 

The restrictions placed on Suiida\ lraternit\' social lunetions 
diirint; hoiisepart\ are easib' understandable. Tliex were put into 
effect niainlv to maintain the obser\aiice of tlii' traditional mores 
ol the town. The new role will not cut down on the actual amiiunt 
of partvini;. but will only lessen outside noise. The tovMispeopU^ 
at least deserve this much. 

The new regulations on lionse taxes for li(|iior make certain the 
riiilit of each individual to choose for liimsell whellier or not he 
will drink. This rule will not alter apprcciabb' the campus situation, 
but it will t;i\e e\('r\- student the ueniiine op])ortnnit\- to decide 
for himself what kind of a time he is sjoiiii; to ha\"e on a Williams 
weekend. N'o bouse needs to lia\c more than fi\e occasions per 
\'ear that rei|nire a blanket house tax. (.'asli-on-the-barrel b\' onlv 
those who want to particiiiate is the onb' wa\' to be lair to all. 

Regular Weekend Curfew . . . 

The ureat maioritv of tlie rnles have a i^ood deal of reason be- 
hind them. The drinkini; tax rule insures tlu' riijht of a i^erson 
to exercise his own personal jndtjment. the i;nest card rule will 
eliminate one of the i;reatest .sources for tlu' dei;en(ration of Wil- 
liams lionseparties. (|nietiii'4 Snnda\' lesti\ities will |ilease the 
towns|5eo|ile. and the eaih Siindax' in'uht curfew for h(nisepart\' 
weekends will sjet things back to normal at a more reasonable 
time. But the new curfew lor ici^nlar weekend iii<^hts is too harsh. 
Except lor the trianmial lionseparties. Williams is a prettv dead 
place socialK'. This lack ul social activity causes a mass exoilns 
from the campus e\er\- uerkend, while those that do stav in Wil- 
liamstown ha\e nowhere to yo besides their fraternitv houses. 
Massachusetts blue laws prevent students from ijoini; out to nearln- 
bars, and so tliev must make the longer trip to New York State il 
thev want to stav out )iasl the house deadline. This will jirobalilv 
end in a i)roblem that is ol iiiiich greater concern tlian the amoniit 
of adverse publicit\' thai llie later curfew caused. lionseparties 
were a problem that needed to be checked, but ret;ular weekend 
beha\ ior presented no e\ idence that a clianm' was needed. Staiid- 
ardi/iiit; the curfew hours lor all honsi's helps ]ire\ent confusion. 
Iiiit cnttin'4 down the lidiirs for women in the fraternities to 1 a.m. 
liears shades of the "lights out. it's ten oeloek. boys ' routine thai is 
fittinji; for a vonnyer i;i"ii|'. W<' f*''"' t'l-'t •> 2;00 a.m. curfew would 
be more sensible and all ".^ether within the riijlits ol collef;<' a'^e 
people who ha\e not '^is.ii fair cause for this particular stvinfi;enc\. 

However, the new Williams social rnles arc now in efhet. 
Mass breakini; of these lules will lead only to a t;reater number of 
dismissals. We think nll■^l of the rules are an improvenient, but 
as hir the reynlar weekrnd curfew hours, we concur with the idea 
ol Lincoln when he said 'We think the . . . decision is erroneniis. 
We know that the court lliat made it has often (nerruled its own 
dieisions. and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this. We 
offer no resistance to it."

The administration must be told that diis solution is not accep-

these measures liave been imposed, it is up to the students, re<r;i|.d.

Letters to the Editor 



1066 AND ALL THAT 

To the Kditor of the HKCOlil); 

The manner in which the new rules were imposed upon the 
student IiikK' makes a niockerv of the idtniistie prolest;itioii that 
student noverniiicnt exists to cmmi tlu' slinlitesl decree at Wil- 
liiuMS. Hules ;ue made to correct evils. The onlv reason we can as- 
sign to the admiiiistratioii's reticence to explain the Iciiiale curlew 
clause is their desiie to side-step eiiibmassiiii; dociiuienlation. 
The iiKiture man castini; even a cnrsorv i;laiiee ;U the new rules 
can discern tlu' tliouiihts which losteri'd them. 

It is always me;iiiini;ful to look to the past hir tried and practi- 
cal solntiuns to prohlenis. Mcilieval mores, though nccasioiudlv 
unwieldy, always faced social difficulties with laudable straii^bl- 
lorvvartlness ami simplicity. .No I'uibarasscd skirtini; ol the icnlral 
problem hv our h'udal hirheais! Thev iiiveutcti a device which can 
lie turned to with lbc> assnrily of past success: the chastity belt. 
.\nv u;i)veriiiu'j, hod\ which, recoiling Irom the pi'rlidiousness ol 
its iivvii tlionnlits. obtains solace in restrictiun the actions ol others, 
would do well to resort to such mechanical salei;uards. 

I'lowiiii; thr(ii|ij;b the nioniss of recent administrative einbar- 
assinent, the esseiiti;d issue is obvious. Thi' suliitidu is even more 
obvious. If the problem the administration implies exists in lact, 
the curlevv is but a harrvinj; force; if the pruhleui does not exit 
neillier slioulil the curlew,

To Ihe I'dilor of the RKa)RD; 

The student both' of Williams should be justK alarmed at the 
eucroachment of the .Administration upon uiideri;radnate rit^lits. 
The new conduct rules, spetihcally Ihe limilation ol Irateruitv 
parlies and the eiiforceiiieiit ol an arhitrarv iiirli'W. are uncalled 
tor. (.,'apilali/iii,n on the impression left bv a draiii;ilic and tr;i<j;ic 
Wiiitei- Carnival, the culletje hopes to push llirout;h a set ol rci^u- 
lalious which will limit to some dci^ri'c Ihe Ireedom ol tlu' stiulent. 
The important point is not that the possibility ol evasion miij;ht 
still exist niidi'r these new rules, but that the college is takini; oul 
of the sludent's hands the rit^ht to dircrt bis own iiehav ior. 'I'lu'sc 
rules V iolatt' the principles of personal responsibility which Wil- 
liams trii's to bister in tlie iiuik'iu;iadiiale. ;\s we learn in onr l'',ph 
Williams llaiiilhook— "It is the aim of the collei^e to develop in 
the students a sense of personal respoiisibibtv lor t;o(id order. The 
colleL;e insists on i;ood taste luid i;enlleinanly conduct. 'I'lie rules 
are lew and explicit. . ." Not only are these new restrictions con- 
trary to ihe spirit of the schoiil. but the\- will punish the whole 
for ilie tnnis'j;ressioii of a distinct minority. 

I ask what these rules hope to cure, except )iossiblv to show 
the iiidi<,;iiatioii ol a rii;hteoiis faculty. .\re they worried about 
the fraternitv curfew hecause their i)ii])ils aren't ijettini; I'lioueb 
sleep or hceause of rmnored promiscnitvr' 1 think not. Do thev 
think bv enmeshing a social function or parly in red tape and reg- 
ulalion. they are curing an ev il? I doubt it. Not only are these new 
rnles unjiislified and pointless as a cure, but they presuppost' an 
evil that does not I'.xisl. 

.Mso. if we must have new rules, wliy not have the collei;<' 
state the specilic grievances and situations vvliicb it wishes reme- 
died to Ihe Underyradnate (aiuncil, and then let Ihe I'C and the 
student liodx' determine what ri'i^ulatiou it thinks ahsohilely lue- 
essarv to remedy the specific evil 'I'o m;ike the \JC. merely a 
strong arm man lor an athninistration dictalum iiiiderim'iies Ihe 
initiative as well as the responsibility h>r effective stiulent noveiii- 
ment. 

What I would like answered is: 

(1) What are the specific f^rievaiices which make the 

rnles necessary':' 
Does tlie .Ulministratiou reallv believe that their new 

rnles will cure some existing evil':' 

If rei^ulation is reallv necessary, why can it not eon;e 

from our own Underi;raduate Council in which we 

have some voice'?

Cheers for T. II. Irwin 18 and his line letter! Ills kind ol star-

ordered to protcet us eloiidv-lieaded voimt;iiiis trom the salinon- 
cdlored Ueaction of E(|n;ditv that links evervvvliere these days, 

Mr. Irwin is really on his toes all rinlil; the Iriiternitv system 
dues indeed pre])ure our untried, t^rav-flanncled souls hir th" 
s(|iiared circle ol life, and as such is a real blcssini^. Rejection 
is sometliiiii; we're all bound to face eventuallv, whetber it con- 
cerns the T<'m|ieraiice Leaj^ne or the North Kickapiio (aill Club 
and Maieliiiig Society. 

Rut while the traternities are nobly doiiii; their |)art in sliow- 
inH the thorny road ahead, tlie le;icliiim melliods here at Williams 
are woefully inadeipiate in this vital department and even redo- 
lent of l''(|ualitarian doctrines. The hicidtv pi'rsisls in wasting 
valuable lime with abstruse intellectual trivia, when what thev 
should he doinu; is teachiuii us how not to be rejected bv clain|->iii'4 
ddvvu and dispensiui^ E grades to the dullards who don't sport 
white bucks (scuffed, prc'ferablv) ;iiid at least uiie change of 
blue denim. With tlie lesson ol lejeclion in the classroom, wed nil

I do hoiic that sometbing will lie (hiiie soon along these lines 
because, just now I'm worried sick that society will be too much

IN THE HISTORY of Williams College, there have been a num- 
ber of outstanding figures in the field of sports, men who have 
lai.sed Williams lo the place it now occuple^ m the small college ranks. 
Immediately brought lo mind are such pi rformers as Harry Fisher. 
Benny Boynton. Pete DeLisser. slashing and crashing their way to 
fame; and there was Bill Fowlc. Bill I'ult 

But there are those you don't think 
present on the field, but wat^liini; anxious 
are the minds behind the teams, the men 
players. Williams fans, younjf and ctid ea 
a long line of uutstandini; eoiches Hh<i 
share in developing men which Williani>. 
claim. "Uncle .lack" Coombs, Tony Fla 
Ken Watters are hut a few of tlie color! ii 
another. To those who have known and 
(liafTec has provided a leadership and \ 
will not be forgotten, 

IN 1924, Challee graduated from Brov.n University where he had 
earned letters in football, basketball, ba.seball. and tennis. He 
reminisces about the time when the Brown basketball team travelled 
to Williamslowii back in 1924. "The great Harry Fi.sher was playing 
for Williams thai year," Chafe recalls, "and we got killed, 41-11." 
Chafe, I might add. playing forward foi the Bruins scored nine of 
their eleven points. Chaffee earned himself a top position on the tennis 
team in his junior year, and thus embarked on his court career. For 
two years he played in Ihe number one and two spots for Brown. 

In 1937, Clarence Chaffee came to Williams. Omitting the war 
years, during which he served as an .Air lorce Major, Chafe has had 
ten seasons in tennis and s(iuash here at Williams, in addition to three 
.\ears as head soccer coich. In Tennis, h' has compiled a truly amaz- 
ing record, taking six Little Three Chamiiionships. Against Amherst, 
his teams have won eight of the ten mairhes. 

IT WAS in 1946. Chaffee's first ,y< , ; back after the war. that 
Williams rmished second behind ;. powerful Yale team in the 
IntercoUegiates. Dick Hole and Fred Scnijner, playing in Ihe doubles 
finals, were on the verge of victory with a number of match points, 
but the two Yale greats. Carl Badger and Billy Ylivasaker edged them 
in the grueling four hour marathon whicli ended after 72 games. Five 
limes. Williams has walked off with the N E. I doubles championship, 
and twice with ihe singles crown. 

Our victory against North Carolina last Spring was, in Chafe's 
mind his greatest team victory. The match with Amherst was almost 
e(|ually as gratifying as Dick Stiuires and Tommy Kent slammed Billy 
Smith and Kd Wesley of Amherst preventing the Jeffs from taking the 
< uvcted "Eight-Point" Trophy. 

IN SQUASH two years ago. the win over Harvard's lop national 
ranking team marked another great moment in Ihe career of 
the Williams coach. Thai team, led by such stand-outs as Captain 
I-fichie Allen and Rog Dickinson "was the finest team I ever coached." 
.■^aid Chafe. "Four of the men had never held a squash racket before 
they came to Williams." And by the time Ihey left, they could be 
ranked with the best. "In Rog Dickinson, I found the greatest competi- 
tor I've ever had the privilege to cosich. He'd go for anythin cause 
he never wanted to be beaten." 

Dick Squires. "Soapy" Symington, and Captain Hank Norton will 

provide the nucleus for the 1952 

squad, with a number of promis- 
ing sophomores coming fast. On

Rat Chase Fails 
To Trap Animal 

Monstrous Rodent Lurks 
In Morgan Basement 

by Les Nichols 

Friday, March. 21- Nerves of 
students In MorKiin Hall neared 
the breaking point today as a de- 
termined investigation by college 
officials failed for tlif tilth straight 
day to locate what one terridsid 
student described as "the biggest 
lat I ever saw." 

Panic-stricken students, dissat- 
isfied with the efforts of Superin- 
tendent of Buildings and Grounds 
Peter Welanetz's hand - picked 
crew in combing the cellar of the 
dormitory, threatened to take 
matters into their own hands. 

Morganites I'anicked 

Discovering the rat last Sunday 
on the third floor, Tim Tully '55 
estimated the rodent to' be "at 
least 15 inches long and 6 inches 
thick." Tully claims that the rat 
ran out of an old rug, and dis- 
appeared down a hole in the floor. 
An investigation by Chief Royal 
determined the opining to be 
exactly 2 13/16 inches wide. 

Almost immediately after TuUy's 
discovery, students from all over 
the building reported seeing 
rambling rodents of various sizes 
on landings, in halls, and in bath- 
rooms. Blind leads required sev- 
eral hours' investigation before all 
of the wary frosh would return to 
their rooms. Tlie most promising 
lead, however, was eliminated 
when a search of the closet used 
by the building's cleaning ladies 
to store their equipment failed to 
reveal mice, rats, or any other 
form of diversion. 

Bob Carey '55, under police 
questioning, claims to have heard 
"unusual scratchings" near his 
room for several weeks prior to 
the appearance of the rat, but, 
attributing the disturbance to the 
shuffling of cards in the next 
room, never mentioned it. Local 
police liave requested a geiger 
counter from the. state police, m

es will lead them to the fugitive

positions on the six-man team, 
with Mauro. the star of last year's 
Frosh team, conceded the best

13 Lettermen Back 

Townsend is cautiously non- 
committal about Eph prospects 
this spring, but is obviously pleased 
by a large preliminary turnout of 
45 candidates, almost double that 
of a normal spring-football year. 

Included are 13 returning letter- 
men from last year's varsity whicli 
won four and lost three: defense- 
men Pete Ingersoil. Dick Ca/e, 
and Capt. Ptge L'Hommedieu; 
midfielders Hodge Markgraf, Duke 
Curtis, Neil Cha.se, Ed Shudt, and 
Ted Johnson; attackmen Ted 
Mitchell, Steve Whittier, Dave 
Harrison, and Bruce Van Dusen; 
and goalie John Sylvester. 

A host of candidates, headeu 
by goalie Rod Starke, are on hand 
from the freshman team which 
Townsend piloted to a 4-1 mark 
last spring. Also back are Tony 
Stolz, Cal Collins. Don Bayer, Lar- 
ry Donoho, Dave West, Stu Chase, 
Hugh Murphy. Dave Wliiteford. 
and Jolin Loomis.

the Psi U's kept pace by downing 
! Beta and Phi . Sig. The Betes 
handed the Kaps their second 
straight loss on Wednesday, while 
the Phi Delts prepped for the 
faculty contest with a win over 
tlie hapless Zetes. 

Phi G.ims Take Two 
In Tuesday-Thursday league tKe 
'hi Gams opened with trlumplis 
over the Dekes and the Saints, 
while D. Phi waylaid the Sigs and 
the Theta Delts; DU clipped Chi 
Psi and Sig Phi. The Theta Delts 
had opened with a victory over the 
Saints, and the Dekes came back 
to trounce the Chi Psi's on Thurs- 
day. 

Commenting on his team's sav- 
age play, one faculty star said, 
"Nice guys don't win pennants. We 
may not take the championship, 
but you can bet we'll have a hustl- 
ing ball club all the way." In ad- 
dition to the trio of Shaw. Bell 
and Ramsdell, the faculty starters

members, and some local citizens 
are invited to join. 

Wlien he turned the keys over 
to President Baxter on January 
6. 1939. Clark Williams expressed 
the hope that the building would 
be a place where faculty friend- 
ships would be made and would 
increase. 

Contributed to Squash Courts 

Although the faculty house is 
the biggest single memorial to 
Clark Williams, the donor had 
ilso contributed to other projects 
including the squash courts. How- 
ever. Mr. Williams had always 
been especially interested in aid- 
ing the faculty and had often in- 
vited faculty members to visit his 
southern estate. It was in appreci- 
ation for these things that some 
of the faculty members presented 
the donor with the tea and coffee 
service which is now in tlie din- 
ing room. 

In the 13 years since the dedi- 
cation tile building has indeed 
lived up to the hopes of the donor 
— that it would be a place where 
the faculty would gather and 
cement friendships.

Always a sucker for attractive bait, our aquatic

on the quick-trick cigarette hook! But he wormed 
his way out when he suddenly realized that 
cigarette mildness can't be tossed off reel lightly. 
Millions of smokers have found, too, there's only 
one true test of cigarette mildness. 
It's the sensible lesl-the 30-Day Camel 
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try 
Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day, 
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments!

History Course Proves 
Tough for Yearlings 



Although many of the freshmen 
taking the ChemLstry la cour.se 
will probably argue quite vehe- 
mently to the contrary, statistics 
released by Dean Scott's office 
prove beyond any doubt that this 
course was the biggest freshman

enrolled students i-cceiving A's in 
the Chemistry la course were the

On the other hand, the course 
proving most difficult for a stu- 
dent to rate an honor grade was 
the History l cour.se in which 3

ceived A's. Economics and Air

The course producing the great-

Selectivity Essentia! 

Humorous writing is something 
rare and special: it's easy to get 
"just a wonderful idea! " — but it's 
enormously difficult to execute this 
idea. I'd guess that the editor of 
a successful Cow would feel oblig- 
ed to reject 90'; of his contribu- 
tions, and then work like a dog 
at revising and polishing the 109; 
he considered usable. The former 
Cow, dedicated to monthly appear- 
ances, looked as though its editor 
used all 100'''; of the contributions 
without any serious re-workins;, 
threw in a few items from back 
issues, and finally dashed off a 
bunch of fillers during a visit to 
the printer. 

The new Cow has been launched 
with gre.'' gusto, but a cool eye 
will immediately . th^t it is 
distressingly uneven. In places it 
shows signs of promise: but many 
of its pages are gloomy reminders 
of what caused its predecessor to 
expire.

There are signs of hope in the

issue ha.s been rescued, tor ex-

including two serious articles: a 
succlnt. informative little essay on 
Argentina's Eva by Anson Piper: 
and a sober but devastating edi-

more than a glimmer of hope in 
the third item which is worth

Letters to the Editor 



REORGANIZE UC 



WE OTHER DAY 



by R. Bruce Carrington 

According to a report appearing 
in the March 16th TIMES iSec, 1 
p 23:1) Pravda is dissatisfied with 
the Russian drama. I have 
ahvays toUowed with great inter- 
est the reports ot what Pravda is 
and isn't satisfied with, and I 
tliink it is rewarding, I remember 
the wonderful report of a mpeting 
held in some town assembly a 
while back to denounce jazz. The 
comrades were shouting each other 
down and proclaiming that jazz 
was as 'bourge" as they come, 
when in came a jazz band playing 
"Struttin' with Some Barbecue", 
whereupon everyone leaped to his 
booted feet and cheered Ru.ssianly. 
The result was that until Pravda 
really lowered its verbal boom, 
peasants throughout those old So- 
cialist Republics were digging po- 
tatoes in syncopated time, 

Pravda, however, won out that 
time, and it looks as if it is plan- 
ning another victory. It wa.s ciuot- 
ed as calling playwrights ■un- 
realistic", and spoke of the plays 
as being full of "false negative 
types of persons who needed clean- 
ing in the clean water nf sharp 
sat're." They denounced .slereo- 
tvpes, and demanded that play- 
wrights create fresh ncu- dramas 
with fresh new Russia, In the 
light of these suggestions. I would 
submit to Pravda the following 
short play for their consideration. 
The scene takes place in the Wil- 
liamstok Inflrmariski somewhere 
in Russia:

comrade boy in the end room, , .

they start delivering them to

I o tlu' Kilitor of the KECOHD: 

The editorial in the March 19 edition ol the Uecord broiiKht 
to the limelight one of the most basic problems now oii the Wil- 
liams Colle.nc campus, namelv, tbe present system ol representa- 
tion on the UiiderKiaduate Council, .\s of now, representation is 
based primarily on social unit delenatioiis (president ol each 
of the 15 houses, represi'iilatives of certain campus acti\'ities, 
and class presidents), One-llfth of the student body, the non- 
alliliates, have no \()ice in the Council, 

Under die status <|uo at Williams t:olle}^e, non-allillate repre- 
sentation is impossible, since the former members ol the (Jar- 
field i:liib on I'cbruarv t expressed then' desire to remain no longer 
as a social unit. Therefore, to acceiit ri'preseiitation (in a coiineil 
composed of house presidents would be, in elleet, to i;i\c the tiar- 
field Club a rebirth. There is one alteriiati\e, that is to choose 
deleirates by classes. 

We, die undersij^neil, recommend as a solution to this problem 
that each class select four delegates as its represiitati\'es on tbe 
VC. Under this .s)stein the ckiss prt'sidents, who are now iircsent 
ill the Council, would retain their ])osts, and would be joined by 

the \ ice-presidents of each class, the honor co ittee represeuta- 

li\es, and a fourth delegate, .Also represented ou the Council woukl 
be the leaders of die campus activities, who are now scrvui}!; on 
the Council, 

Naturally, this solution would only jjiove workable it class 
elections received more enthusiastic siip|)ort from each member ol 
the student body. Under our recoinmendation, with class elections 
ineauinir more than merely popularity contests, the students, we 
hope, would realize the importance of the elections, and would 
select the most ciiialified meiiibers of their class, 

.\ll class functions would be handled by the tour UC repre- 
seiitati\es, and the present system of class orj^ani/ation by social 
units would be abolished. The four elected ollicers would ha\e 
the power to select other lueinbers of their class to aid them in 
runniiiti; lunise parties and other class functions. 

We also uri^e the acce|itaiice of the sugj^estion that "enlorce- 
meut of house social rules" could be accomplished by "house 
ollicers working under the Dean's office". 

We oiler this as the most feasible solution to tbe present UC 
))roblein.

rests on society to ameliorate the lot of the "unable", attempting 
to do away with discrimination would defeat our whole puipose 
in the first place by lessening our superiority based on natural law,

THE WILLIAMS RECORD WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1952 



BY JOVE - I'll be blessfd if we dicUrt find ii touch of Jolly /)lld 
England in oui- back yuid uiice ;iniiiii this pu.sl week-end. 
Peiclied atop our vaiilane point on the fouith flooi' of the Hopkins 
Obscivutoi-y. we were able to view the Koinus-on many miles below 
at the SpriiiB Stieet squash courts with \hw greatest of ease, as 
■•MasUT" Chaffee's racciuetmeii gave oui- visitoi's from Cambridge, 
England a lather rough time uf it with a 5-1 trouncing on Satui-day 
afternoon. Such was the throng that invaded the gallery that we 
vi.fie forced to our lofty retieat. 

I'eerlng through our BO-iiuh rcfriulinK telescope, we were able 
to catch a bird's-eye view of oiu- of the most oxcitiiis matches of 
the afternoon, between Captain Kuy (leorije and I'eter Gautler- 
Smilh. I'layine i" the numlier three position, the Knglishman pres.sed 
Georifc several times with terrific l)a('khand and corner shots, and was 
able to take two of tlu- first tlnec eiimes. Upon a number of ota'asions, 
we were nearly vaulted out of our crows ncsl rest by the tremendous 
ovations rendered hy the spectators. The slender, dark-haired "Tom- 
nij" came back again and again with drives on seemingly hopeless 
shots to down the Williams captain. (iautier-Sniilh took the lead in 
games twice, but in the fourth and fifth contests, he tired, and 
George was able to take the final pair of games by handy margins. 
i KfER the match had been completed, wc .swooped down fiom the 
" Weathcrchild domicile to si)cak with a lew of the visitoi's from 
uciDss the Atlantic , We were csijccially attracted to a lad named 
Tony Swales, playing iiumbcr toui- for the Britishers. The good-looking, 
well-built Englishman levealed the pleasant surpri.se which he had 
expciienced on the tiii) to America thus far. "It's nothing quite at all 
like what we had expected," came his griiming reply. "So far, we've 
really had an exciting time. Aflei- landing here in the United States 
on Thui-sday, we stopped at New Haven foi- our first match," con- 
tinued Tony in his thick English brogue. "With time at a pitmium, 
our visits at each college will be very short. Up to now everything 
has been wonderful; everything, that is, except the scores of our 
matches. We do hope to win one oi- two befoic wc head back home, 
wc really do!" 

Master Swales informed us of the very respectable 11-2 won- 
lost record which his team had iiimpiled against competition in 
England. "I'm afraid that our fortune from here on in will definitely 
be much less impressive." he commented after they bad dropped their 
sci'ond match in three days. 

"In England, our courts are a cood three feet wider and perhaps 
a foot or so longer than the American alleys. " Your roving reporter 
(from the WEATIIEKCIIII.I) KN TEKI'KI.SESI also found that the 
English squash hall was smaller and less lively than the American- 
type ball. We were informed further of still another difference be- 
tween the British and the American game. While we fill nine positions 
in mat«'.h competition, the "Tommies" compcle with a roster of only 
five. 

IIAVING lost their mat<.'h with Yale, .six-zipp. the boys fiom Cam- 
bridge made Williamstown their second stop. Dartmouth, Har- 
vard. Princeton, plus ii number of top Canadian teams will keep the 
Britishers quite busy for the remainder of their three week .iouiney 
to America. 

After the affair was all over, a spot of tea was definitely in order!

Squires a (Question Mark 

Squii-es has asserted that he 
will be ready to play on the tour, 
despite an injuied knee suflered 
late in the squash season. Chaffee, 
however, remained dubious about 
his star's condition as the team 
prepared for the trip.

nals'? Or is it a satire? It lacks 
focus as humor or criticism. And 
as narrative it builds up to the 
climax of an interview with Prof. 
Copeland, and then abruptly stops, 
I'lic reader feels bewildered, and 
mildly cheated. 

The feature called "Simpres- 
iioiiism" f. lis flat on its face; a 
Uale idea carried out with stale 
Uustrations. The drawings spread 
jver the magazine's center pages 
are not made entertaining merely 
by labelling them "Cowtoons." 
They tend either to use frightfully 
ancient gags las in the one about 
storing bathtubs i or to be so poor- 
ly drawn that their point— if any 
—is lost las in the one depicting 
a chapel interior). The page en- 
titled "Blind Date" exhibits the 
type of cartoon which was worked 
to death in the old Cow; one 
hopes that the new Cow can 
escape from this rut into more 
imaginative and more carefully 
executed cartooning such a.s Bod 
Stites' nice set of parodies called 
"Blood Bank." 

More Misses 

"Love Among the Ruins," a poem 
about the love affair of a garbage- 
collector, . . . need I say more'.' The 
subject is hilarious, simply hilar- 
ious; therefore the poem treating 
the subject will necessarily be a 
booming success, say the editors, 
who apparently never thought of 
returning it to the authors for 
much-needed cutting and revision, 

Ihe photography section is a 
new idea, and a good one. The por- 
trait of M, rch's Cow-Girl would 
embcUisli any dormitory wall. But 
the collection of pictures on Page 
27 is downright embarrassing. Two 
of them are just dull, one of them 
We have seen many times before, 
and the other two are associated 
in our minds witli horrifying news 
releases which accompanied the 
s. me or similar pictures in recent 
years. There is nothing liumorous 
in the pain-wracked faces of star- 
ving women in India, or in plight 
of g r!s who ha\'e been driven to 
prostitution. . Will the Cow editors 
NEVER get over the childisli no- 
tion that sex is intrinsically fun- 
ny? i Nor is there anything amus- 
ing in Williams students using 
these pictures to parade their ig- 
norance of the world in which 
they live. 

Help Needed 

As for the thirty "fillers" i scraps 
of prose or verse set off by cow 
f„cesi. all but eight or nine should 
have been stored in a desk 
drawer until the editors could re- 
\'iew them under the sober light

of another day. 

There is a cartoon on page 22 
showing copies of "Comment" 
committed to flames and thereby. 
I presume, symbolically predicting 
tile end of the Cow's literary rival 
As a former member of C^ommenl's 
editorial board, I can vouch for tlie 
fact that the magazine turned 
down a large percentage of its con- 
tributions, and that most of the 
material which was ultimately 
printed had been re-worked many 
times. The t'ow's board will ha\e 
to be equally rigorous if they ex- 
pect their magazine to eliminate 
Comment or even if they hope to 
save it from the fate of its pre- 
decessor. 

Since the undergraduates will 
probably respond more enthusias- 
tically to the new Cow than I do. 
I am not worried about any ill 
effects which this sour review may 
have on sales. Let me close by 
wisliing the new Cow well. Its edi- 
tors liave opened the magazine 
with a desperate plea for contri- 
butions; they clearly need help. I 
hope Williams students will res- 
pond with vigor and that future 
i.ssues will make this one look 
iick even in their eyes.

To Enjoy Holiday 
Trip to Bermuda 



Beach Parties, Athletics 

To Highlight Schedule 

Of Island Vacation 



Charles Elliott '54 

Friday. March 28 — Under the 
wulchful eye of the Travel Bureau, 
vh'hl students will forsake muddy 
Williamstown tomorrow tor the 
beautiful beaches of balmy Bermu- 
da. Ably chaiwroned by Mac Mc- 
Connick '52, the ki'oup will take 
oir via Pan-American provided all 
pass customs, and will return Ap- 
ril 8. 

The island has prepared for the 
invasion by scheduling two Col- 
IcKc Weeks, featuriuK beach and 
coiktail parties, trips around the 
island, tennis and nolf tourna- 
ments, and a formal dance. Girls 
from Bradford, Wells, Vassar, and 
Holyoke ought to provide suitable 
entertainment for the Williams 
regiment. 

riaces of Interest 

Main center of attraction in the 
Clown colony, accoi'dlng to a vct- 
eran. lies in and ai-ound the Elbow 
Beach Surf Club with its accom- 
modations for dancing, diinking. 
and swimming .Collectivism has re- 
placed individualism in that 
gioups of females from each school 
give open house cocktail parties 
in the afternoons. 

Othei- activities which visitors 
have found worthwhile include vi- 
.slts to famous Crystal Caves, com- 
plete with stalactites and stalag- 
mites, and to Devil's Hole, whei'e 
exotic fish abound. 

In addition to its distinction as 
the oldest .self-governing British 
colony. Bermuda is noted for its 
ultra-low price of alcohol. 



To Achieve Total 
Membership Goal 



Recent "Bicker" Period 

Reverses Two Year 

Rushing Standard 



Princeton, N. J., March 25 — 
Total rushing of sophomores at 
Piinceton appears to have receiv- 
ed a setback as the trend toward 
complete membership in the Pros- 
pect Sti'eet clubs begun by the 
present senioi- class and continued 
last year by the cla.ss of '53, .seems 
to have been reversed for the time 
being. 

Two years ago, the class of '5L! 
petitioned the eating clubs to take 
all or none, and succeeded in forc- 
ing through 100'.; memtaer.ship. 
Last year's "bicker", or rushing 
period, was hailed by Princeton 
Dean Francis Godolphin as ach- 
ieving this .same goal "without 
tension". This time, in the "bick- 
I er" period starting February 7. the 
728 sophs failed, despite agitation 
by campus leadei-s to bring about 
total membership. 

Financial Trouble 
1 Some of the clubs fell it neces- 
sary to take in large delegations 
I to meet rising food costs. At pre- 
I sent, weekly board bills in the 
I clubs avei'age over $18. Moreover, 
I it is feared that under the present 
I system one or two of the seven - 
I teen clubs may become "dumping 
I grounds" for unwanted Tiger 
j sophs. 

I That the Court Club was able 
j to take in only seven new mem- 
I bers this year, suggests the possi- 
: bility that several of the less pop- 
I ular clubs may be forced out of 
I existence by rising costs and dwin- 
' dling enrollments.

Monday, March 24 — Workmen 
of the Kullahur Brothers Con- 
struction Company, Sai'ris Falls, 
Mass., started preparations today 
for resurfacing of Route 43, which 
connects South Williamstown with 
Hancock, New York Route 22, and 
points south. 

The prcicct is being financed by 
the state under a secondary feder- 
al grant-in-aid. and will entail a 
cost of $325,000. State plans call 
for the complete replacement of 
the present two-lane, trap rock- 
and-tar surfaced road with a new 
macadam .surface. 

Engineers will lay the founda- 
tion of the new road slightly to 
the south of its former location, 
and have designed the new high- 
way to allow for wider shoulders, 
moderation of the steeper grades, 
and smoother curves. Under fed- 
eral regulations, no curve of the 
artery will have less than a 1000 
foot radius. 



Sunday. Mai'ch 23 — Continuing 
Williamstown's crime wave, two 
burglai's broke into the College 
Pharmacy tonight and stole $25 
in cash and an undetermined a- 
mount of merchandise. Police are 
still baffled as to the identity of 
the culprits. 

Accoiding to proprietor Joseph 
(Uea.son. the intruders came 
thiough the back window and 
climbed down the shelves at the 
rear of the store, using a step 
ladder. The bui'glars made then- 
exit through the back door, which 
had been locked from the outside. 

The only available clue found 
thus far consists of two bottle 
openers, left by the burglars. 
These were found in the back of- 
fice of tlie store, along with an 
empty quart bottle of beer, two 
m.ugs, and a saltcellar, all belong- 
ing to the pharmacy, and indicat- 
ing that the thieves were in no 
hurry. Gleason commented that he 
would be glad to return the open- 
ers to their owners on request. 



Sharpshooters Enjoy 
Bear, Coon Meat 

Thursday. March 20— The Wil- 
liams Gun Club sponsored a din- 
nei at the 1896 House as the first 
in a scries of functions in which 
the club and local shooting en- 
thusiasts will .ioln interests. Club 
President Ted Cart '53 headed the 
planning foi' the dinner, tlie chief 
attraction of which was the serv- 
ing of bear and coon meal ob- 
tained by various membei's of the 
community this fall. 

"Whip" PeriT. who w-as in 
charge of obtaining the food 
brought out thirty pounds of bear 
meat and three coons for the 
twenty-two people to en.ioy. It was 
the first time that many of the 
guests had tasted such rustic del- 
icacies. The Gun Club held .shoots 
every Sunday afternoon of the fall 
in Thanatopsis Glen to which peo- 
ple of the community were invited, 
and next year a closer joint re- 
lationship Is planned.

dents, the concert will also include

Junior Class Plans 
Chapin Jazz Show 



Friday. March 28— On the band- 
stand foi- Spring Houseparty. May 
2-4. will be Will Bradley and his 
orchestra, featuring vocalists Mary 
Scott and Hal Jones. The Junior 
Class housepai'ty committee has 
also scheduled the annual class 
picnics and a tentative jazz con- 
cert. 

Bradley, who has been a band- 
leader most of his life, with the 
exception of a brief intei-lude dur- 
ing the war, has been featured 
with his group all over the coun- 
try. Since la.st May, he has played 
in the East for many college 
dances, 

Danceable Music 

Bradley is a firm believer that 
peo|)le who come to dances should 
get dance music instead of novelty 
tunes and progressive tempos. 
Therefore he specializes in melodic 
and danceable music. 

Ted Cart '53, who heads the 
dance committee, plans to have 
Trahen's, a New York firm take 
care of the decorations in the 
gymnasium. No definite plans for 
the decorations have been decided 
as yet. 

Cole Field Picnics 

The tresiiman and sophomore 
classes will have their picnic Sat- 
urday morning on the lower level 
of Cole Field — weather permit- 
ting. For entertainment, the com- 
mittee, headed by Robert Shorb 
'53, plans free beer, a tug-of-war, 
beer relays, and a soft ball game. 

On the upper level of the field, 
the juniors and seniors will have 
their picnic, complete with beer 
relays and a soft ball game, but 
omitting the tug-ot-war. Picnic 
lunches will be provided by the 
various fraternities and the Cur- 
rier Hall kitchen. 

According to Don Rand '53. in 
chaige of the musical activities of 
the houseparty. the dance com- 
mittee hopes to have another jazz 
concert along the lines of the Win- 
ter Carnival jam .session.

Non-affiliates Should Elect 
U. C. Representatives 

In the Mait'h 19 i.s.siic of the Rl'XiOIUJ, uticiitioii was called 
to the eiirreiit need lor noii-affiliate re|ireseiit;itioLi on the Under- 
pachiate Council. Two methods lor nicetinir this piohlcni were 
cited; 1) nou-trateniitv men could liold election.s bv classes to 
choose one UC representative per class, or 2) the entire niake-np 
of the council could he altered so that UC nieinbers are selected 
aecordini; to .sonic nicHiod other than a house represcnlative 
system. 

Non-affiliates who led the recent ino\i' h)r Garfield Club's 
dissolution feel that the second ])lan is the onlv one under which 
tliev can rii;httidlv sit in on the cotineil. Tlicv leel that the UC 
is made u]) of iik uibeis of a social svsteni of which thc\' are not 
a part and with which thev disai^rec. To ;iceept council nieinher- 
shi|i under the present svstein would, tliev think, show that die 
uoii-alliliates condone the social svstein as it now stands. We leel 
diat tin's not eiitirelv true and that certain ]-)oiiits show diat iion- 
alliliate council nieinhershi]) are more im|)ortaiit to die eolleije 
than their refii.sal to remain on the outside of student noxeriiinent. 
It is true that the uKijoritv of the \'otint; inemhers of the UC 
are frateruitv representatives, but it is also true that 2o't of the 
votini; members represent either classes or certain caiii|)iis activi- 
ties. The addition of 4 non-fraternitv ineinhers would increase 
this figure to 3;> I/;3!? so it would be e\en more a UC and not an 
intertraternitv council. The simple mecli;iiiieal details of the laii^c 
uiajoritv of council business would be i;rcallv facilitated if llic 
non-alfiliates were re|5reseiitcd. The i^rcat iiuiss ol work done In 
the UC consists larjrelv of coniuumicatini; material from campus 
orfjani/.ations such as the Placement IJureau to die college iiiulci- 
graduate body. If anytliiu!; \ital to the li\es of underf^raduales 
comes before the council, the UC members usually refer the 
material tpiestion back to a student referendum. To accom]5!ish 
these two functions the UC) niust be set up so that its members can 
fjet in touch with dieir eoustitucuts easilv. The loj^ical way to do 
this is bv elcetinj^ representatives from all the various diniiifr cen- 
ters on eaini)us. If central catinir were in effect then a coniplele 
re\aini)iiiu of the (jrcsent method of selectiuf; UC members could 
be undertaken. 

The non-affiliates will be able to further their cause betlcr 
from within the council than from without. For e.vaniple when the 
college now wishes the opinioi, of the non-fraternity men on such 
imi)ortaut issues as recommendations for die new student uiiiuii, 
the administration has no where to turn. In the case of the all- 
college Bowdoin plan tax, llie non-affiliates will bo made to ])ay 
their share although diex- have no \oice in die decision to levy 
this assessment. The non-:iffiliates are willina; to s^iNc up a voice 
in the running of their iiw n affairs to gain solidarity behind tlieir 
move for complete mcinhcrship. We feel, however, that the non- 
affiliates can still work toward this objective as members of the UC; 
The uon-affiliates will be belter off helpin<» to make decisions that 
affect die entire undergraduate body rather dian letting such de- 
cisions be made by men who may not hold the same opinions at 
all. By becominu; affiliated with the Uudernradiiate Council, the 
ntm-fraternity men will help dieir own lot as well as that of Wil-

TURN THE CRANK 

III die lulilor ol the BKCOBD: 

Belemng to Peter Cosgrills fine letter of die March 22 edi- 
tion ol the hecord, 1 cant help but feel that he made one major 
error. In geiu'ral i agree with his \iews, but that iinst sentence, 
"The student boti)' ol Williams slioukl be justly alaruieil at the 
encioaelnneut ol the adiiiinislratioii upon undcrgraelnate lights ', 
was i|uite a shock. Just what arc these "niidergraduate rights' we 
hear about so often? Arc the)- not mere illusions of sell-goveni- 
meiit, representing a rather feeble attempt by the admiuistration 
to bring np their youthful, shiny-faced boys in a spirit of democ- 
racy where an authoritarian lack of leadership prevails? How can 
ail)- one student, or even all students, lay any claims to specific, 
inherent rights of self-go\eniiuent or even personal integrity'r' 

Our rights are just the limitations, or lack of limitations, the 
adniiuistratiou gi\es us to assure that we grow up in onr educa- 
tional .system widi just enough delnsioi'i of independence to 
assure that our natural, youdilnl tenileucies for expression and 
independence will be smoothed (i\er; and the administration can't 
help but leel thai our personal integrity is only in reality a grow- 
ing ego which must be conti'olled. 

Vou see, we have no "rights ', no morality of our own - Uie 
adiniiiistratiou takes care of that. .\s students we study our texts, 
go to our lectures, take our faclnal, memory e.xams which don't 
test understanding but rather our ability to retain factual doe- 
trine. 

And the adiniuistrahon grants iis a few house parties, an 
undergradnate council, and there is our college. We haven't an 
institution but a machine with a weU-known iiame. The admiui-' 
stiatiou turns the crank and oiil comes the finished product, coiii- 
plete widi facts, a delusion of iiideiiendencc, and name attached. 
That is the \Villi:ims graduate, and the adiniiiistratiou, being 
proud that its name has been allixed to another product, eontiiines 
to turn the crank, set the rules, and adjust the morality in such a 
way diat no graduate will enrl up too iii(lependcnt of what the 
college eonsiilers die norm. 

In conclusion, it seems to me that the admuiistration assumes 
teaching is more imiiortant than learning, directing the student 
more important than self-development, control more iin]K)rtant 
diaii independence and integrity. The college can't project their 
maturity onto us - we must find it for ourselves. Control never 
de\eloi)es integrity, but nioro olleii fanaticism, and yet the admin- 
istration, led by the sui)eilati\c |)ressures of our backwood trustees 
and alimini, can't seem to see this. 

,\iid so we can expect more restraint, less independ(;iice, and 
consequently more artificiality and hypocrisy in social life. The 
words "undergraduate rights" are meaningless.

Holdovers Puffer, Beard 
Return to Mound Duty 



by Pete Goldman '54 

Monday, March 24 — "We won't 
be world beaters, but we'll have a 
pii-lly fair ball club." This was 
Coach Bobby Coombs' appraisal 
of 1952 Williams baseball pros- 
pects as he watched his batlery- 
meii BoiiiB through their paces in 
the; cage today. 

The former major league hurler, 
now in his seventh year at the 
helm of the Eph nine, was quick 
to ({iiallfy his statement. "Pikh- 
ini; is SO't' of the college game", 
he added, "and a lot depends on 
how our stall shapes up. However, 
we liave a veteran nucleus to build 
around and a bunch of good look- 
ing, sophomores coming up." 
Puffer, Beard Return 

The returnees Coombs referred 
to include the brilliant pitching 
duo of last year's Little Three 
chumps, Mike Puller and John 
Board. Puller, a right bander, won 
five games for the Ei)hs last sea- 
.son, including a near no-hittcr 
against Harvard in the finale, 
wliile southpaw Beard notched 
four victories. 

Although Howie Babcock and 
Henry Norwood are the only other 
retuining moundsmen. Coombs has 
added nine sophomores to his stall, 
including Rog Moody. Dewey Rey- 
nold.s, and Paul Murphy. Moody 
was the number one starter for 
last year's freshman nine.

ional Intercollegiate Swimming 
this week-end. ■

The lone Williams entry will

tion's top performers. Martin,

has been placed among the top 
ten swimmers in the country 
for tliose events.

Kappa Epsilon gained a victory in 
the final event, the 200 yd. relay, 
to defeat second place Zeta Psi 
34-21 and capture the Interfra- 
ternity Swimming Meet. Delta Up- 
silon placed third scoring 17)5 
points, only a point and one-half 
in front of fourth scoring Kappa 
Alpha. 

A narrow victory in the 100 yard 
breaststroke by John Allan gave 
the Zetes a 21-16 edge over the 
Deke's with only the closing event 
to be run off. Forced to grab eith- 
er first or second in the relay, the 
DKE's nosed out second place

afternoon well by taking a first in 
the opening 150 yard medley re- 
Icy. Don Wyman added five points 
to the DKE score in the 200 yard 
freestyle. Murray's double victory 
surrounded Boyd Pall's win in the

AMEItlCA'B LIADINO MANUFACTURER OF CIQARITTKS 




HEADLINER

w 



ITH the lapld approach of spring to Willlamstown and en- 
virons the winter sports seasons fade into the past, and must 
be content to rest in the record books for the remainder of their 
existence. It was a winter of ups and downs, with memories both 
good and bad. 

Fresh in our minds is the amazing performance of Bob Muir's 
.swimmers. Dick Martin, one of the mosi outstanding swimmers in 
the history of the school, although severely handicapped by illness, 
came through with twin wins in the New Englands. Over the course 
of the year, however, it was a team performance which brought 
both the Little Three Title and the New England Championship 

With the return of Dick Squires (u eligibility. Coach Chaffee 
was able to guide his relatively inexprrienced squash squad to 
decisive victories over both Wesleyan and Amherst, taking his sixth 
Little Three Crown in a decade of coaching, 

Skiing — great! In his second year at Williams, Coach Ralph 
Townsend not only brought us the Class B title for the second con- 
secutive year, but also gave Williams a Class A rating for 1953. 
AN ENTHUSIASTIC, never-say-die winter track team, under 
the tutelage of Tony Plansky, went all out in its quest for 
victories. Led by Captain George Steinbrenner, the trackmen turned 
in a superb showing in both small college and "big time" competition. 

A thumping win over Amherst for the Purple wrestlers provided 
sweet consolation after an otherwise unsuccessful season. In the New 
Englands. individual crowns were captured by Callaghan, Edwards, 
and Shorb, giving Williams a surprising second place. 

Coach Al Shaw, faced with the loss of four-fifths of his great 
1950-51 basketb::ll team, had to rebuild around a nucleus of inex- 
perienced sophomores. Only with a sensational showing at the Pratt 
Gym were the Lord Jeffs able to take the "Potted Ivy League" Champ- 
ionship. 

piNALLY. we come to the bottom of the ladder — and we all 
know what's there. Yes, hockey! Tacked on to an otherwise 
good winter showing, the hockey season stands out worse than the 
Ijroverbial sore thumb. Winning but one or two games a season is not 
fun. And when the losses come by 12. 15. and 20 goal margins, just how 
long can spirit and desire to play last'.' How much longer must Wil- 
liams hockey squads face teams which obviously outclass them? 
How long will a bunch of hard-working, earnest guys who play for 
the love of the sport, be subjected to the miseries of inadequate faci- 
lities, conditions, and coaching. A cliange must be made, and made 
soon, if hockey is to remain a major sport here at Williams. A change 
must be made if tlie college continues to offer organized hockey 
as an attraction to men entering Williams. 

This problem is one which has been hashed over, and re-hashed; 
it's been run through the pages of the RECORD many times. And if 
you don't believe what we say, just ask any one active on the hockey 
squad. Eirly morning trips to Troy, poor home conditions, unorgan- 
ized practice sessions — the status quo will have to gol 

As we see it, and we would nut be alone in this matter, institu- 
ting an informal hockey jjrogram would provide the most suitable 
means to alleviate the situation until further improvements can be 
effected. 

ELL. we started out with a glimpse back at a winter season 
which in many respects is one to be proud of: but that "sore 
thumb" keeps popping up. getting sorer and sorer.

room, Lucy remai'ked that "only 
Williams men seem to possess a 
sense of humor imwarped by con- 
ceit. From their letters I charac- 
terize the average Williams man 
as a real nice guy decked in 
striped ties and gray flannels. 
Their letters however, suggest that 
they might be rather frustrated, 
and that Williamstown is quite a 
wicked place. I'd rank them sec- 
ond in sex appeal only to the 
Princetonians." 

Although "L" day was still a few 
days ofl' 'March 27 1 the Berk- 
shire County Miss 'Great Har- 
rington I had hopes for many more 
letters: preferably in the good- 
humored, gray-flanneled, sexy, 
Williams style. 



Henry IV . . . 




dialogue. What we have here is 
not the language of real life — but 
a rather specialized idiom whlcn 
bogs down in some over-length 
fii'st act utterances. 

Weems, Dewey Add Humor 

Theodore Weems' characteriza- 
tion of the grotesquely pompous 
Dr. Genoni is faithfully conceived 
and does much to lighten the bui- 
den of Pirandello's heavy-handed 
intellectuality. Similarly effective 
is Joseph Dewey as Belcredi, the 
sceptic and humorist. Together 
with Sally Long, who is most con- 
vincing as Donna Matilda, the 
thiee of them try to tear from 
Henry the mask which he has 
worn so long and bring him back 
again into their life which is void 
of "the pleasure of history." 

These three are most effective 
in tlieir scenes with Heiuy where 
they are nuide to feel the incon- 
gruity of their situation: less so 
in the moments where they appear 
alone and are forced to stand 
or fall on the expository worth 
of their dialogue. Weems' por- 
trayal of the nervous little doctor 
who is filled with so many ridi- 
culous notions of his own impor- 
tance does mucli to relieve the 
monotony of these scenes. This is 
insufficient, however, to build 
these interludes in anticipation of 
Henry's entrances, and they serve 
merely as a series of rather tedious 
expository vignettes. 

Except for the extremely awk- 
v't.rd final scene where Henry 
clumsily runs through Belcredi 
v.'ho is held like a sitting target, 
the production is technically 
jound. The costtunes and sets are 
superb while the lighting is re- 
sourceful and original.

MacManus, Rand Lead 
Vacation Trip Scoring 

By Gerry Davis 

Saturday. April 12 — Hopes for 
a successful season are high in 
the minds of the Purple golfers 
who recently returned from the 
annual southern trip. Meeting 
tome of the southland's outstand- 
ing linksmen without the benefit 
of any winter practice, the Eph- 
men were unable to win any of 
their three matches, but gained 
experience on the trip which 
should prove a valuable asset a- 
gainst northern opposition during 
the regular season. 

After spending three days In 
the vicinity of Southern Pines, 
North Carolina where they played 
their first rounds of golf since 
last fall, the Williams team moved 
1,0 Durham on Thursday, April 3. 
meeting Duke University. Playing 
at the Hope Valley course, the Eph 
men fared poorly with Frank Mac- 
Manus' 71 the outstanding roimd 
m a 24-0 loss under the Nassau 
system of scoring. 

Rand Low Scorer 

Chapel Hill and a match with 
North Carolina was the next stop 
on the Purple itinerary. Morgan 
Coleman was the only man able 
to break the scoring ice as the 
Tarheels triumphed 35-1. Jim 
Tompkins, playing in the number 
three slot came through with a 
fine round, but could not match 
his opponent's sub-par 68. 

The final and most successful 
contest from the Purple viewpoint 
look place Saturday at Charlottes- 
ville against the Virginia Cavaliers. 
Scoring under the customary New 
England three points-per-four- 
some plan, the Ephmen forced the 
Cavaliers to go all out before the 
home team was able to gain a 6-3 
victoi-y. Don Rand's 76 was the 
low Williams score, with Rand, 
playing number five. Moro at 
number four and Kaufman, num- 
ber six accounting for the three 
Purple victories. 



Lacrossemen Win 
One Spring Match 

Gain Needed Experience 
On Southern Journey 

Tuesday, April 8 — Ralph Town- 
send's lacrosse eleven returned 
from their spring vacation .south- 
ern swing today with a 17-5 
tjouncing of North Carolina and a 
wealth of badly-needed game ex- 1 
perience to their credit. The ex- 
i;erience was f.cquired the hard 
way. as the Ephmen absorbed 
.'ihellackings from Army i20-l>, 
Maryland il0-2i. and Virginia 
123-31 in th* trip's other three 
outings. 

rhe Southward excursion was 
not the dismal failure which the 
iatler three debacles would seem 
to indie, te, however, for the Pur- 
ple were playing out of their class 
with practically no previous prac- 
tice, while their opponents had 
been working out for belter than 
a month. 

Van Dusen Nets Six 

Bruce Van Dusen led the April 
2 triumph over North Carolina 
with six goals and four assists. 
Ted Johnson scored four times 
for the Ephs. and Ted Mitchell 
chipped in with two more goals 
ind five assists. 

For the only time during the trip 
the offense was able to function 
.smoothly, and the defense, bolster- 
ed by the steady net-tending of 
goalie Rod Starke, was consistent- 
ly strong. 

Army Rolls Over Ephs 

Army completely overwhelmed 
the Ephmen in the trip's opener 
by tallying ten goals in the first 
period. Sophomore Al Klssack con- 
verted on a pass from Dave White- 
ford for Williams' only goal in the 
20-1 rout. 

Townsend's crew had no better 
luck in their first tussle south of 
the Mason-Dixon line against 
powerful Maryland, as the Terps 
won hf.ndily. 10-2. Van Dusen and 
Bob Utiger scored for the Ephs. 

The Virginia combine scored at 
will against the Purple, running 
the final count to 23-3. 



Wednesday, April 9— With the 
season's opener against Union one 
week off the Williams baseball 
Learn is beginning to take form. 
Coach Bobby Coombs stated, "We 
got ill tv.o days of outdoor prac- 
tice during vacation and have a 
lot of hard work behind us." 

Although the starting lineup is 
only tenlatlve and competition is 
still wide open for several posi- 
iloiis, ilie battery seems to be set 
with last year's starters. Mike Puf- 
fer and Johnny Beard, back on the 
hill and Bob DePopolo once again 
behind the plate. Puffer had a 5-3 
record last year while Beard won 
four and was not defeated. 
Junior Moundsmen 

Howie Babcock will be the third 
in a strong trio of Junior mounds- 
men With Hank Norwood. Dewey 
lieynolds. and Kog Moody behind 
hiin. Norwood is a Junior and the 
l..iu'r two are Sophomores. 

Al first base Pete Callahan and 
Owen Maher are running neck 
and neck while another close race 
exists ai shortstop between Jack 
Hawkins and Chuck Harris. Cap- 
lain Bill Callaghan is a fixture at 
ihe keystone sack witii Dick Sul- 
li\an performing well behind him. 
and Walt Creer appears to have 
the edge at third. 

Connolly Returns 

Rightfielder Pete Connolly will 
be back at his old spot, but the 
other outfield berths are being 
hotly contested by a trio of fast, 
sure fielders. Tommy Dorsey. Tom 
Adkins, a cnnvei'ted catcher along 
with Creer, and Bill Miller. 
Coombs commented that these 
three would make up a fine de- 
fensive outfield, but they lack hit- 
ting power. 

The battiiif; order has not been 
set as yet l)iil the nucleus of a 
haid-hlttin,^ ball club exists in the 
returning regulars. Callaghan hit 
.411 last year. Connolly rapped at 
a .393 clip, and DePopolo hit .333. 
They will be aided by Creer, Haw- 
kins, and Maher. the leading hit- 
ters on last season's frosh team.

McCarthy Speaks 
At Smith on Reds 

Stirs Crowd Emotionally 
In Generalized Speech 

Northampton. April 10— Joseph 
McCarthy, Republican Senator 
from Wisconsin, addressed a 
crowd of 2300 listeners tonight at 
Jolm M Cireeiie Hall, Smitli Col- 
lege. His speecli. sponsored by the 
Smith Young Republican's Club, 
was entitled "Reds in the Govern- 
ment." 

The senator stated that he has 
often been accused of taking ad- 
vantage of his congressional im- 
munity. He declared, however, that 
now he was outside of the senator- 
ial chamber and would definitely 
nante Communists m our govern- 
ment. 

McCarlliy declared that Owen 
Lattimore and Lawrence "liad a 
great affinity for Communist pol- 
icy." and that "Phillip Jessup was 
the second most dangerous man 
in our government." second only 
to Dean Acheson. 

Emotional Presentation 

Although these charges implied 
subversive activities, McCarthy 
never openly said that any of 
Uiese men. some of whom he had 
accused in the Senate, were Com- 
munists. 

McCarthy delivered his speech 
in an emotional manner, pound 
ing on the podium at times and 
continucUy interspersed his talk 
iv.ui renmrKs about his war record 

ni one point, in response to a 
n.ss iruiii ine audience, McCarthy 
commented drily. "Hiss — that word 
oounds familiar." 

jjuiiiig me course of the speccli 
about a liaif dozen people walked 
out oi the aiidilorium. Their exit 
was accompanied by scattered au 
uiCnce approval. 

i-ouowing the speech, questions 
were screened and presented to 
iUcCarihy. Queried whether college 
le.xhers should be required to take 
loyalty oaths, the senator replied, 
■oenalors have to take them and 
I worked hard to take mine. I see 
no reason why American mothers 
and fathers should hire Comma 
nists to teach their sons and 
diUighters treason."

Student Group Seeks Liberal Candidate, 
Boosts Douglas for Democratic Nomination 



Saturday. April 12 — A group of 
students, believing that "a liberal 
candidate for president is need- 
ed by the Democratic Paity in this 
time of world crisis." has formed 
a "William O. Douglas for Presi- 
dent Club." 

The organization is hr;ided by 
Peter Oaks '52. while the other 
officers are Arnold Levin ',^2, vice- 
president. Matthew Markotic '52. 
secretary, Robert Goldstein '54. 
treasurer, and Peter Goldman '54. 
recording secretary. 

Take Russia Seriously 

William Douglas, an associate 
justice on the Supreme Court, has 
declared that the only way to ac- 
hieve pe.,ce in these crucial times 
Is to take Russian offers for peace 
seriously. In the UN at present 
both the United States and the 
Soviet Union continually call each 
others' proposals for disarmament 
farcical. 

Douglas believes that coopera- 
tion Is the only .solution to the 
present pioblem. and that "arma- 
ment for peace" can never be a 
reality. The justice, however, does 



not feel that NATO should be a- 
bandoned. but that while we are 
preparing ourselves for an em(!r- 
gency. we should also attempt to 
solve the dilemma of the cold war. 
The Club feels that Douglass 
pioposal must be endorsed. 
For Civil Rights 

It was Justice Douglas that gave 
the minority decision on the Fein- 
berg law. stating that it was a vio- 
lation of civil rights to force the 
teachers of New York State to 
declare that they had never been 
members of "a subversive oi'gan- 
ization", especially when these or- 
ganizations have never been list- 
ed or defined. 

Douglas has also opposed ilie 
Smith and McCarran Acts for roa- 
.sons similar to those mentioned 
above. The justice has consistanl- 
ly been the most liberal member 
of the Court, while at the same 
time has been, the members of the 
"Douglas for F>residcnt Club" feel. 
the most lealistic man in the gov- 
ernment in the formulation of 
ioreign policy.

Staff Hails New "Cow^^ as Success; 
Readers Call Revival "Best Eve/^ 



May Copy to Contain 
Feature by Watters 

by Bill Warden '54 

Wednesday, April 16 — The flr.st 
issue of the new "Purple Cow", 
wliich went on sale on March 26, 
lias been ajudged a complete suc- 
rcss by the "Cow" staff. Feeling 
they have successfully passed this 
first critical test in the rebirth 
■■>! college humor, the staff is or- 
ganizing a second issue to appear 
in May. 

Approximately one third of tlii 
student body bought the maga- 
zine cither on the newsstand or 
llirough .subscriptions. It is esti- 
mated that at least 90 per cent 
of the students have read it. 
Favorable Letters Received 

The staff of the "Cow", pleased 
with the excellent reception their 



work received among students and 
faculty, were further lauded by 
many letters from parents and 
alumni. Several mentioned the 
issue as the "best 'Cow' they had 
yet seen." 

The rebirth of the "Purple Cow" 
under new management indicates 
a significant trend in many east- 
em colleges. The dirtii of college 
humor in the past few years is 
being remedied by the return of 
a number of Hi!frnor magazines. 
As in the "Purple Cow", most of 
these periodicals include both tlie 
humorous and the .serious aspects 
of campus life. 

May Issue 

The general organization of the 
May issue will be much the same 
as the last. Special features will 
include a humorous story on tlie 
life of a coach by Len Watters. 
and a surpri.se feature.

Highlight Gala Evening 

Monday, April 14— The Fifty- 
fifth Annual Fireman's Ball was 
lield in the Williamstown High 
.School Gymnasium last Monday 
evening under the auspices of the 
Gale Hose Company. The proceeds 
of the ball, which featured Glenn 
Miller's Orchestra iPittsfield), 
were used entirely to supplement 
the Fireman's Benevolence Fund. 

The festivities commenced with 
a band concert given by the or- 
chestra between 8:30 and 9:00. At 
!l:00 the dance officially began as 
cioidon Noble. Foreman of the 
Oale Hose Company, led the 
Chand March. Following that, 
tlicre was dancing in the main 
liallroom and also square dancing 
ill the school cafeteria, led by call- 
er Marty Lamphalr. Music for this 
was provided by the Bennington 
Hot Shots. 

Prizes Given 

The high point of this evening 
of entertainment came when win- 
ners of the raffle, proceeds of 
which also went to the Fireman's 
Benevolent Fund, were announc- 
ed. The Grand Prize was a $100 
Savings Bond. Seventy-five sub- 
sidiary prizes, all donated by mer- 
chants of North Adams and Wil- 
llamstown, were also awarded. 

Several hundred residents of 
WlUlamstown and the surrounding

ing fire chiefs from Pownal, North

North Pownal. 



ADA Holds Panel 
On '52 Campaign 

Party Chairmen, Students 
Discuss Men, Issues 



Monday. April 14 — The Ameri- 
cans for Democratic Action held 
a forum this evening in Griffin 
Hall, dl.scusslng the potential can- 
didates and policies of both the 
Democratic and Republican Par- 
ties. 

Representing the Republican 
point of view were Mr. Robert 
Debevolse, chairman of the Wil- 
liamstown Republican Committee, 
and Richard Duffleld '52. Asso- 
ciate Professor James Burns, 
chairman of Williamstown's Dem- 
ocratic Committee, and N. Arnold 
Levin '52 presented the Democra- 
tic opinions. 

Campaign of Individuals 

Debevolse and Duffleld stres.sed 
the point that the election would 
be decided on the basis of Indi- 
vidual candidates, rather than 
the party. Professor Bums and 
Levin later expressed themselves 
for a campaign based on policies. 

While the Republican Chair- 
man criticized the incumbnnt 
Democrats as "too partisan and 
political minded". Duffleld, said 
that "new blood and new faces 
are needed in Washington". He 
suggested that General Eisenhow- 
er would piovlde a change, but not 
a reaction. 

Professor Bums stated that the 
last two decades had .seen two 
political trends, one toward gov- 
ernment action for the people, 
and the other away from Isolatlon- 
l.sm.

SAC to Determine 
1952 ■ 53 Tax 



Aid Request Deadline 
Set for oril 28 



Monday, April 14 — At a brief 
meeting today the Student Activi- 
ties Council discussed the ur- 
gency of all campus organizations 
in need of grants or loans for the 
next school year to turn in their 
estimated budget by April 28. 

It was pointed out that the pro- 
cedure for granting financial aid 
necessitates a long period of time 
because each request must be in- 
vestigated by the executive com- 
mitte of the SAC and then be vo- 
ted upon by the entire organiza- 
tion. 

Attempt to Cut Tax 

The expen.ses of non-profit cam- 
pus organizations are supported by 
a tax placed on the student body 
through tire social units at the be- 
ginning of cacli school year. Last 
fall the tax was $1.50. and Bob 
French '53. president of the SAC. 
said that he hopes the new tax 
will not be as high. 

Other business that appeared 
before the meeting dlscIo.sed that 
the Purple KniRhts. college dance 
orchestra, had withdrawn $48 
from It's sinking fund. 



UC Votes to Lift 
VpperclassQttotas 

Committee Books Change 
In Off-Weekend Curfew 



Eisenhower Body 
Proves Strongest 

Taft Backers Pessimistic 
On Eve of Primaries 



Monday. April 14— The UC vo- 
ted tonight to accept the recom- 
mendations of the 1951-52 Under- 
graduate Council to II lift all 
quotas before the coming post 
season rushing period, and 2) 
eliminate the rule that no juniors 
or .seniors may be rushed. 

Tliese recommendations, accept- 
ed recently by the Tippy Com- 
mittee, will be put into effect if 
approved by President Baxter. A 
third recommendation, that each 
house's quota for the freshman 
rushing next fall be one-fourteen- 
th of the class, was tabled by the 
Tippy Committee until the April 
28 meeting with the UC in New 
York. 

Barks Curfew Extension 

The Committee supported un- 
animously a proposal to request 
an extension of the off-weekend 
curfew hours. It was decided that 
2 a.m. would be the best hours for 
both Friday and Saturday nights 
of non-party weelcends. 

Believing that a vote this spring 
would do more harm than good, 
the UC rejected the suggestion 
of the League of Total Member- 
ship that a vote be taken on an- 
other complete rushing plan. The 
Committee felt that the student 
body would be apathetic toward 
such a vote right now and that it 
should be postponed until next 
fall. 

The UC decided that the setup 
of the Bowdoln Plan should re- 
main e.s.sentlally unchanged and 
that the quota should again be 
.set at six. 



By John Brownell '54 

Wednesday, April 16— With the 
Massachusetts primaries to be held 
on April 29. the various political 
factions of the Williams student 
body, working in conjunction 
with townspeople and faculty have 
intensified their work of cam- 
paigning for their particular can- 
didates. Student interest has been 
directed mostlj toward the can- 
didacies of Eisenhower, Kefauver, 
and Taft. 

Headlining the ELsenhower drive 
is a meeting tomorrow night at 
7:30 at the Williamstown High 
School in which John Heselton one 
of the presidential delegates from 
this district, will speak. Another 
event of major importance to Ei- 
senhower's backers is President 
Baxter's talk, which he will deliver 
tonight in Pittsfield. 

Ike Receives 80% 

Besides making arrangements 
for Mr. Heselton's speech. Eisen- 
ho'A?r headquarters, situated on 
Main Street, below Currier Hall, 
has been conducting a telephone 
campaign, and is making arrange- 
ments for transportation to the 
polls for those people who can get 
iliere in no other way. 
Thus far things seem to be fairly 
easy for Ike supporters, since, ac- 
cording to a recent poll taken by 
the Political Science Department, 
807r of Williamstown has shown a 
preference for the general. 
Kefauver Group Active 

On the Democratic side, a group 
of Williams students, headed by 
Franklin D. Rudolph '52 and Ri- 
chard Antoun '53 have come out 
as the first organized force in this 
r.rea for Estes Kefauver. 

Antoun, who is actjpg as group 
chairman, says that the purpose 
of the organization is to instigate 
a write-in campaign among the 
residents of Williamstown, North 
Adams, and Pittsfield, 

Work Through Press 

Due to a lack of money, most of 
their work^has been done through 
press releases to the nearby pa- 
pers. Any Berkshire residents who 
are willing to help in any way 
have been urged to get in touch 
with Frank Rudolph here at the 
college. 

In contrast with the Elsenhower 
and Kefauver backers, the group 
representing Senator Taft have 
been doing their campaigning on 
a much more informal basis. Judg- 
ing from the data of polls that 
have been taken, Taft men feel 
that due to insufficient interest in 
western Massachusetts, an all- 
ojt campaign would not be worth- 
while.

BATTLE WITH BLOOD AND IRON 

loiheKilittirof tlieHEC:OHD: 

Never haviiiK taken invself very seriously, I was (|iiite siu 
prised to see 'l.oel) He\ isited " in the betters to the Kditor Column 
111 \dur .March J5 issue. 

Voiir editorial note also inierested iiie. 

l'erlia|)s you would like to see what oeeasioiied the Messrs. 
-Msops rather less than charitable remarks. Knelosed herewith is 
the Iroiit pai^e of our newspaper for March 8 with an editorial, 
whicli minlit interest you heeaiise it has broader implications 
than just tlic .Msop Brothers. 

Jii reference to this .\lsop eoliiinn one of our employees writes 
as follows: '1 read with interest your editorial about profit sharing 
in answer to .Msop. Von mij^lit lui\e trutbfully inentioni'd at the 
time (lia( no other conipany in -Manchester takes care ol its sick 
people the way the Union Leader does. During uiy stay in the hos- 
pital in January and last month, 1 came in contact with a lot ol 
patients, none of whom fared as well as 1 ditl. " 

Insteail of iii(|uiriii)j; as to whether 1 was fair and just in my 
relations with those who work for the Union Lcatler, the Alsops 
pri'fi'rred to answer ad himiiiieiii with the smearing remarks which 
you (|note. 

I'or \ery good and sufficient reasons, 1 certaiiil)' DO carry 
a loaded rexolver under all legal circiimstaiices. 1 most assuredly 
DID publish my birth certilicate, signed by the Presitlcnt ol tlie 
United States, I'heodore Roosevelt, on the front page of my jjapt'r. 
1 did so for a reason which Mr. Alsop \ery coiivcnicntly lorgets. 

Senator Tobey had won a narrow, 1100- vote \ictory in ti 
primary o\cr a W'orkl War II .\ir Force gunner whom the Union 
Leader had supported. One ol the methods the Tobey loUowers 
used to win oxer Powell was (o say that Powell was "the candidate 
of that tiauined Jew from Aew York," referring to myself. The 
birth certificate was published merely to indicate that if Mr. 
i'obi'ys followers could be so factually wrong about me, they 
coiilcl also probably be wrong in their slanders against members 
of tlie |ewish faith. 

The Alsop boys are not only careless with the truth, but thoy 
art' soiiiewliat iiai\e in no( uiKlerstanding that the word "libend ' 
guarantees no halo of saKation around the heads of (hose who 
so name (lieiiisehcs, jiis( as (he adjective "conservatixe" tloes not 
damn its o\\ tier to eternal hell fire. Mr. Alsop's catalogue of iiulix i- 
uuals IS cntirel)' too simple (o euiilorm either to the rules of com- 
mon .sense or reality. 

Knowing hoxv xve edited THE RECORD in my day, 1 thought 
\dii uoiiiil be interested in ALL the facts. 

William Loeb '27 

Ktlitor's note: .Mr. Loeb countered the Alsop attack with a front 
page editorial on .March S I'lititled "Does Alsop Know His Right 
Lrom His Left':'" This defense cited the generous profit sharing 
policx' ol the Manchester Union Leader as an example ol its 
bnexoleiit inauagement. It also explained the nexxspaper's cam- 
paign h)r Taft, asserting that it is the plain people xvlio arc sup- 
porting Taft". Conversely the "confused mind clings almost 
hysterically to Ceneral Liscuhower's coattails". 



Letters to the Editor 



RECORD CONFIDENTIAL 

To die Editor of the RECORD;

a clip))ing of (he editorial entitled ".Another Sedition Act" in the 
Williams' Record of March 12.

of the |)ress. The verv acl of attempted illegal suppression by offi-

To die Editor of die liECOHD: 

In the Satindav. April 12 i.ssiie of (he RECOHD there ap- 
peared ail article on a Douglas For President Club. In the first 
place, no such club has xct been formed. .Sexeral people irere 
discussing potential Democratic candidates. This conversation 
prompted vour reporter to make an inaccurate statement. Not 
only have no officers been elected, as reported in the RECOHD, 
but the views of [nstice Douglas xvere also misrepresented. 

We siiicerelv hope (ha( (he Demoeradc Party will nominate

THE WILLIAMS RECORD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1952 



by Tom BeUbe 



Ycstt'iduy, the major league 
buseball season opened, umld llie 
usual fanfare and publicity. To- 
day, however, represents an even 
more Important opening day to 
Williams adherents, us Bobby 
Cciimibs' 1952 baseball team opens 
its .schedule against Union on 
Wcslon Field. Not to be out-done 
Ijy the so-called prediction experts, 
who have crystal-balled the ma- 
joi.'i tor weeks, here we go In an 
atlempt to foresee the 1952 Little 
Tliree race. 

I'otentially, this year's Eph 
bii-i'ball team is loaded with pow- 
er, mid the outlook for the future 
would .seem unlimited. Potentially, 
tliiit is! For pitching, Coacli 
Coombs Clin cull on either Mike 
Puffer or John Beard, both tested 
vricians who probably would rank 
witli most duos in recent Williams 
history. Completing the battery is 
Bob Depopolo, undoubtedly one of 
till' best defensive catchers in all 
liini' Purple annals, and a Kood 
loiiK ball hitter to boot. 

At second. Coombs has a two 
year veteran, Captain Billy Cal- 
lutlian a .411 hitler last year, 
while Pete Connolly in riijht field 
im lit a .393 clip during the '51 
cioiipalgn. On paper, this is the 
nucleus of a first-rate ball-club, 
but there are many "ifs" to qualify 
thi' potential success of the Purple 
ti'iiin. 

For one thing, Coombs must 
come up with a third pitcher to 
back up Beard and Puffer, for 
Hare are .several spots in the sche- 
dule when three games are slated 



In five oi six days. As of right now, 
junior Howie Babcock is leading 
the crew of pitchers, and although 
he possesses a world ot stuff, he 
has little game experience to give 
liim tliat poise that Is so necessary 
U) a pitcher. Another big question 
mark lo face this year's team, is 
the three sophomores who have 
won starting positions, Walt Creer 
at third, Jack Hawkins at short, 
and Owen Mahar in left field. All 
three hit well as freshmen, 

Still another big worry, is the 
condition of Pete Connolly, who 
is fast becoming known as a sec- 
ond Jim Puchs. Fragile Pete is at 
piesent side-lined with a pulled 
hip muscle, and there is no telling 
how long he will be bothered by 
the affliction. The last big pro- 
blem facing the Ephs, concerns 
cenlei- field, where four worthies 
are battling for recognition. Right 
now. Tommy Dorsey is leading the 
paiade but he has yet to prove 
thai he can hit college pitching, 
and the same might be said for 
the other hopefuls. 

1 realize that 1 sound unduly 
pessimistic in lookinB over the 
season. As a matter of fact, I have 
so much confidence that the soph- 
omores, and Babcock. and Dorsey 
will all come through with flying 
colors, that I'm going out on a 
limb and picking the Ephs to win 
10 out of their 14 games, and also 
to top the Little Three again. 
Here's hoping they can better this. 

. . . And. in case anyone's inter- 
ested, I pick the Indians to beat 
the Phllies in the World Series. 



Lacrosse Team Stresses Offense, 
Defense, in Pre-Season Practice 



Saturday, April 12— After re- 
turning from the southern trip, 
Halph Townsend's varsity lacrosse 
team has settled down to perfect 
both their offense and defense. 
The players gained a chance to 
VMl organized down .south and are 
preparing for Ihe opening game 
with Yale on April 26 at New Ha- 
ven. 

Eleven of last year's lettermen 
are back plus a number of pro-

Vacation Trip Warmup 
Should Prove Asset 



Wednesday, April 16— With the 
season's opening match against 
Bowdoln only a week and a day 
away, Coach Dick Baxter is hope- 
ful th<»t the 1952 varsity golf team 
Will maintain the unbeaten record 
of last year's New England Cham- 
pion team. 

Heading the team lineup are 
Captain Prank MacManus, Ted 
Taylor, and Don Rand, all re- 
turning lettermen, playing m the 
numbers one through three spots 
respectively. Sophomore Ed Mau- 
ro, star of last season's freshmen 
will hold down the number four 
post while Jim Tompkins, another 
veleran letterman will play num- 
ber five. The sixth position is still 
undecided. 

Commenting on the spring trip 
wliich saw his linksmen lose 
ihiee matches Coach Baxter said 
'The main point of the Southern 
nip is to give the men a chance 
10 loosen up after a winter long 
lay-off. The experience we gained 
in competing against some of the 
south's outstanding golfers will 
give us a big jump against Nor- 
thern competition which did not 
have the same opportunity.' 



By Fete Goldman '54 

Wednesday, April 16— When the 
Williams baseball squad squares 
oil against Union in the season's 
opener at 4 p. m. today, Coach 
Bobby Coombs will send either 
Mike Puffer or southpaw John 
Beard to the mound for the start- 
ing assignment. These veterans 
were credited with all of the nine 
Eph victories in last year's play. 

Coombs has been particularly 
pleased with the performances of 
the two hurlers in pre-season 
practice . Puffer worked five no- 
hit innings in an intra-squad 
game Saturday, while Beard was 
almost as impressive, despite a 
brief siieak of wlldne.ss that co.st 
him two runs. 

Lead Oft a Question Mark 

The center field post and the 
lead-off slot in the batting order 
remained the only question marks 
in the Eph starting lineup for to- 
day's game. As the team ran 
through a fhial workout yesterday. 
Coombs had not yet decided 
among Tommy Dorsey. Tom Ad- 
kins. Paul Zeckhausen and Steve 
Klein for the starting job in the 
middle garden. 

Billy Callaghan. team captain 
and a leading Purple hitter last 
season, returns to the keystone 
and will bat second. The third 
slot will be filled by long-ball hit- 
ting Owen Maher. who has been 
shifted to left field from the first 
b.ise position he held as a fresh- 
man. 

Creer. Hawkins Start 

Veleran catcher Bob DePopolo 
has been designated as the clean- 
up hitter, followed by right fleldei' 
Pete Connolly, returning to action 
today after a week's layoff with a 
pulled hip mu.scle. 

Walt Creer. who led last year's 
freshmen in batting, will open at 
third base and bat sixth. Below 
Creer in the batting list are .sopho- 
more shortstop Jack Hawkins and 
first baseman Pete Callahan. 
Ephs Sharp Defensively 

Although hitting during pre- 
season drills was unimpressive, the 
starting lineup has been excep- 
tionally tight defensively and the

Chaffee Predicts Successful Year 
Despite Tennis Trip Record of 1-5 



Par from downhearted despite 
his team's five losses in six starts 
on their spring-vacation southern 
trip. Conch Clarence Chaffee, now 
in his eleventh season at the Eph 
tennis helm, is instead very pleas- 
ed and rosily predicts another suc- 
cessful year. 

Chaffee's optimism stems chief- 
ly from the apparently conclusive 
evidence afforded during the 
southern matches that number 
one man Dick Squires is complete- 
ly recovered. The veteran Eph ace 
had been plagued by injuries to 
both knees, and it was feared that 
he might never regain top form 
this season. 

IMiddlcbury Practice Saturday 

The good news about Squires 



more than offsets the series of 
reversals suffered at the hands of 
Duke i9'/2-4V2i. North Carolina 
113-2 and 10-5i. Virginia (13-21, 
and the Country Club of Virginia 
(7-4). In the trip's final meet- 
ing, the Ephmen finally hit the 
victory column, downing William 
and Maix 5-4. 

A practice till at Middlebury 
Saturday will afford the racquet- 
men their last warmup before em- 
barking upon an ambitious 11- 
match schedule April 24 against 
Bowdoln here.
