Cd  i4Hofs  Ihxi^  KvL'Mng  Fines 
To  SAC  to  Aid  Reserve  Fund; 
SC  Tables  Move  for  Approval 

Monday,  Jan.  16  -  Tlie  allocation  of  Dirty  Rushing  lines  was 
the  main  topic  of  discussion  at  tonij;lit's  Collcj^e  (.'oinicil  mcctinff. 
Chip  Mann,  '56,  head  of  the  Student  Activities  Council,  hrouf^lit 
up  the  (|uestiou  of  what  to  do  with  the  $2,200  in  fines  taken  fioni 
eij^ht  fraternity  houses  as  the  result  of  dirty  rnshinff  violations 
tliis  fall. 

Knipliasi/iuf;  the  fact  that  the  SAC  reserve  fund  has  been  cut 
in  lialf  dnriiij;  recent  years,  Mann  proposed  that  the  nionev  he 
placed  in  the  fiuid  for  use  in  aidinj^  student  orf^ani/ations  "that 
have  debts  incurred  in  the  past  which  they  are  unable  to  pay". 

Following  Involved  debate,  the  C.C.q 

-loted   to   give   the   money   to   tlie     _     ,  _  _ 

SAC   subject   to    the   approval   of    OcOUteYS  PvCpClTC  FoT 
the    Social    Council.  .iii         oiii 

At  a  meeting  on  Tuesday  ev-       FOTtnidQulc     Sch€dnle 
ening  the  SC  postponed  vot- 
ing    on     the     motion     until 
representatives  had  consulted 
their  individual  houses. 

SAC   Under    CC   Control 

The  motion  was  pa.ssed  only  al- 
ter it  had  been  ascertained  that, 
the  CC  would  have  the  ultimate 
control  over  the  use  of  the  funds. 
The  SAC  was  created  by  the  CC 
and  thus  Is  responsible  to  the  CC 
for  all  of  its  transactions.  This 
point  was  made  so  that  the  CC 
might,  if  it  wished,  use  the  money 
for  purposes  other  than  the  aiding 
of  extra-curricular  organizations. 
It  was  suggested,  for  instance, 
that  part  of  the  fine  money  be 
used  to  erect  a  bulletin  board  out- 
side of  Hopkins  hall. 

Mann  was  careful  to  explain 
that  the  additional  funds  would 
not  be  used  simply  to  "bail  out" 
any  organization  in  debt.  Some 
groups,  he  said,  are  suffering  be- 
cause they  are  trying  to  repay 
debts  which  they  did  not  incur.  In 
many  cases,  they  have  "no  hope" 
of  repaying.  Activities  at  Williams 
are  divided  into  profit  and  non- 
profit organizations.  It  is  the 
profit-making    organizations   that 

aulrv  i  ,  aL.v.uiUiii6    iu  ,,1111*11,  iji-Ct.u3». 

any   money   made   during   a   year 
must  be  used  to  pay  back  debts. 

Fresh  and  Uppcrclassmen 

In  order  to  better  the  relations 
between  the  freshmen  and  upper- 
classmen,  the  CC  discussed  a  plan 
by  which  fraternity  men  could 
have  the  chance  to  eat  in  the 
Student  Union  on  guest  nights. 
Jack  Love,  '58,  proposed  that  fit-

Saturday,  Jan.  21  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  Debating  Team,  the 
Adelphic  Union,  faces  a  tough 
schedule  for  the  second  term.  In 
the  past  few  years  this  organiza- 
tion has  done  an  admirable  job 
both  in  its  debating  and  the  quali- 
ty of  men  it  has  drawn  to  its  or- 
ganization. 

At  present  the  debaters  are  pre- 
.paring  for  their  encounter  with 
the  University  of  Conn,  on  Feb. 
11.  On  the  nth  and  18th  of  that 
month  the  club  will  travel  to  M.I.T. 
and  McGill.  The  following  week 
the  Williams  team  will  vie  with 
the  University  of  Buffalo  and  on 
Mar.  2  and  3  they  will  meet  Har- 
vard. At  each  of  these  schools  the 
national  topic.  "Guaranteed  An- 
nual Wage",  will  be  debated. 

Legalized  Gambling  will  be  the 
topic  debated  when  the  Adelphic 
Union  meets  Smith  at  New  Bri- 
tain on  Mar.  21.  The  Frosh  squad 
of  the  debating  team  has  Har- 
vard Brooks  and  Kent  remain- 
ing on  its  schedule.  On  Feb.  13  at 
8  p.m.,  in  3  Griffin  Hall,  the  an- 
nual freshman  debate  will  be  held 
with  $20  going  to  the  winner  and 
a  $10  prize  going  to  the  runner 
up.  This  debate  is  open  to  all  in- 
terested freshmen. 

At  an  election  preceding  the 
Gargoyle  panel  last  Thursday  ev- 
ening, John  Struthers  '59  and  Bay 
Klein  '59  were  chosen  freshman 
representatives  to  the  executive 
committee  of  the  Adelphic  Union. 


Friday,  Jan.  20  -  A  concert  of 
four  sonatas  for  the  violin  and  pi- 
ano was  presented  tonight  in  Cha- 
pin  Hall  by  Marlyn  Crittendon, 
violinist  and  Walter  Nollner,  pi- 
anist. 

The  concert,  another  addition 
to  a  year-long  program  commem- 
orating the  birth  of  Wolfgang  Mo- 
zart on  Jan.  27,  1756,  featured  tv/o 
sonatas  by  Mozart.  The  first  work 
performed  was  his  Sonata  in  C 
Major,  a  short  work  noted  for  its 
directness  and  engaging  simpli- 
city. Tlie  program  was  climaxed 
with  Mozart's  powerful  and  bril- 
liant Sonata  in  A  Major. 

Two  outstanding  .sonatas  by 
Beethoven  and  Brahms  completed 
the  concert.  Beethoven's  Sonata 
in  C  Minor  is  widely  regarded  as 
his  greatest  work  for  the  violin 
and  piano  while  Brahms'  Sonata 
A  Major  is  one  of  his  most 
mature  works. 

Extensive  Musical  Backgrounds 

Miss  Crittendon  has  been  a 
member  of  the  AU-Amerlcan 
Youth  Symphony  under  Leopold 
Stokowski  and  the  National  Sym- 
phony under  Hans  Kindler.  For 
the  past  seven  years  she  has  been 
concert  mistress  of  the  Springfield 
Symphony   Orchestra. 

Mr.  Nollner  came  to  Williams 
in  1950.  Since  then  he  has  ap- 
peared at  Chapin  Hall,  at  Town 
Hall  in  New  York  City  and  with 
the  Berkshi'e  Symphony  Orches- 
tra.

Saturday,  Jan.  21  -  Fifteen 
Williams  seniors  who  intend  to 
continue  study  in  their  major 
fields  will  take  Graduate  Record 
Examinations  in  WiUiamstnwn  to- 
day. These  exams  are  designed  to 
inform  graduate  schools  of  the 
background  and  ability  of  appli- 
cants. Some  schools  use  them  as 
a  gauge  for  determining  accep- 
tance; others  pay  little  attention 
to  them. 

For  Williams  students  these  ex- 
ams are  relatively  unimportant. 
"Williams  has  a  very  excellent 
standing  in  most  graduate  schools 
in  the  country,"  said  Professor 
Theodore  Mehlin,  who  administers 
the  exams  here.  "Usually  grades 
and  departmental  recommenda- 
tions go  a  long  way  In  determin- 
ing acceptance." 

Divided  In  Two  Parts 

These  Graduate  Record  exams 
are  divided  into  two  parts.  In  the 
morning  a  two-and-one-half  hour 
test  will  determine  the  "verbal 
and  quantitative  abilities"  of  ap- 
plicants in  all  fields.  A  three-hour 
afternoon  exam  tests  the  appli- 
cant in  his  major  field.  Prepared 
by  the  Educational  Testing  Ser. 
vice  in  Princeton,  which  also  pre 
pares 

tests    are    given 
times  a  year. 

They  will  be  given  again  at 
RPI  on  April  28th.  But  by  then, 
according  to  Professor  Mehlin, 
most  graduate  schools  will  have 
filled  up  their  lists  tor  next  fall. 

Examinations  for  application  to 
specialized  graduate  schools  will 
be  given  next  semester.  Exams  for 
business  school  will  be  given  Feb- 
ruary 2nd.  It  is  too  late  to  register 
for  this  exam  now.  Application 
for  the  National  Teacher's  tests 
must  be  filed  by  January  '^Tth 
for  law  school  exams,  by  Pebru 


Saturday,  Jan.  21  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  Chapel  has  an- 
nounced its  schedule  of  speaker.^ 
for  the  second  semester  of  the 
current  school  year.  Many  of  the 
speakers  will  be  newcomers  to  the 
Williams  campus,  but  there  are 
also  several  famihar  names  on 
the  list. 

Among  the  newcomers  is  Rabbi 
Judah  Cahn.  who  will  speak  in 
Thompson  Memorial  Chapel  in 
the  first  service  of  the  semester. 
Rabbi  Cahn  is  from  Lawrence. 
Long  Island.  The  Very  Reverend 
Francis  B.  Sayre,  Jr..  Dean  of  Na- 
tional Cathedral  in  Washington, 
will  speak  at  Williams  for  the 
first  time  on  February  26.  Rev- 
erend Sayre  was  to  have  preached 
in  the  Chapel  last  winter,  but  bad 
road  conditions  prevented  his  ar- 
rival. 

Tillich   to   Return 

Two  other  newcomers  will  speak 
on  March  11  and  18.  On  the  fiist 
date,  Professor  Richard  Niebuhr 
will  deliver  the  sermon.  He  is  the 
brother  of  the  well-known  Rein- 
hold  Niebuhr,  and  is  a  prominent 
theologian  in  his  own  right.  The 
following  Sunday  Dr.  Paul  Scherer 
of  Union  Theological  Seminary 
will  preach. 

At  the  Homecoming  service, 
Williams  students  and  their  guests 
will  hear  The  Reverend  A.  Gra- 
ham Phillips,  who  is  now  in  his 
twenty-sixth  year  as  Chaplain  of 
Phillips  Andover  Academy.  The 
first  Sunday  after  vacation  will 
bring  another  familiar  speaker  to 
the  pulpit.  President  Herbert  Ge- 

gical  Seminary,  who  spoke  here

of  the  guest  speakers  to  partici- 
pate in  discussions.  On  these  days, 
the  service  will  take  place  at  five 
o'clock.  This  will  be  followed  by 
informal  dinner  in  the  Congrega- 
tional Church  and  the  discussion,

already  been  selected.  Dean  Sayre. 
Professor  Niebuhr.  Professor  Till- 
ich, and  Dr.  Robinson  will  be  the 
guest  participants.

doors  positively  will  be  closed  as 
soon  as  the  1040  seats  are  filled. 
Needless  to  say,  the  early  bird

For  those  not  attending  the  jazz 
concert,  skiing  will  be  available 
on  Saturday  night  at  Sheep  Hill. 
This  is  an  innovation  on  trial 
this  year. 

To  satisfy  those  with  a  taste 
for  the  finer  things  in  life,  the 
Carnival's  contribution  to  the 
world  of  art,  snow  sculpture,  pro- 
mises to  be  challenging,  if  nothing 
else.  For  example,  in  front  of  the 
Student  Union,  a  gigantic  takeoff 
on  a  nationally  advertised  beer, 
(the  one  with  the  three  rings)  will 
be  "sculpted".

EDITORIAL 

Record  Policy 

Freedom  of  .s]H'ech,  press  and  thought  are  three  vaKue  ab- 
straet  terms  having  paranioimt  importance  in  any  demoeratic  so- 
ciety. The  campnses  of  .\inerican  colleges  and  universities  play 
a  highly  important  role  in  the  development  and  mainteiuuice  of 
these  ideals.  The   assumption  is,   of  course,  that   apathy   is   not 

f)reseiit.  Howe\er,  indifference  and  lack  of  concern  far  too  often 
ead  to  stagnation  of  thought. 

It  is,  therefore,  the  |)rimary  aim  of  the  new  RECORD  BOARD 
to  stimulate  student,  faculty  and  alumni  interest  in  the  activities 
and  affairs  of  Williams  C;ollege.  Tlie  RECORD  considers  itself 
free  from  any  domination  bv  any  particular  segment  of  the  col- 
lege. There  i.s  no  element  that  should  not  come  under  critical 
aiialysis  when  such  is  warranted.  At  the  same  time,  the  RECORD 
does  not  be!ie\e  that  the  best  editorial  policy  is  solely  to  criti- 
cize the  administration  or  parts  of  the  faculty.  Such  a  purely  ne- 
gative attitude  is  unhealthy  and  unintelligent. 

The  approach  of  the'  RECORD  shall  be  affirmative  in  the 
sense  that  it  shall  support  whatever  measures  or  policies  it  deems 
most  beneficial  to  the  college  community.  Tlie  RECOHD  wel- 
comes comments  on  its  editorials  or  on  the  college  policies.  For 
this  reason,  the  RECORD  will  print  anonymous  letters  provided 
the  author  is  known  to  the  RECORD.  Under  no  circumstances 
will  tlie  name  of  the  writer  be  disclosed  to  anyone  if  so  desired. 

One  of  the  most  beneficial  aspects  of  education  can  result 
from  the  attempt  by  writers  to  sell  tlieir  ideas  on  the  free  market 
of  thought. 


ROTC  to  Start  Condensed  Course 
For  '58,  '59,  ^Record'  Learns 

Thiusday,  Jan.  19-  Williams  students  enrolled  in  first  and  sec- 
ond year  .'\FROTC  courses  will  ]>robahly  be  allowed  to  comiilete 
a  condensed  program  at  Williams  with  commissioning  to  occur  at 
the  year  of  graduation,  the  RECORD  learned  today.  This  is  con- 
trary to  a  iircvious  Air  Force  edict  which  had  given  little  hope  for 
the  continuation  of  the  program  for  the  freshmen  and  sophomore 
students  in  ROTC. 

The  condensed  program  was  made  necessary  by  the  planned 
disestablishment  of  the  local  detachment  in  June,  195V.  Details 
are  presently  being  worked  out  and  approval  is  definitely  expec- 
ted from  Air  Force  lieadtinarters  in  Washington. 

The  program  was  favorably  received  by  sophomores  who  were 
notified  of  the  proposed  (ilaii  by  Maj.  Clyde  W.  Huether,  professor 
of  air  science  and  tactics  at  Williaius.  A  similar  reactitm  is  expected 
from  freshmen,  who  will  be  told  officially  in  the  near  future.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

THE  U.  S.  NEWS  AND  WORLD  liKl'ORT,  January  (>,  Page 
KKS,  ill  smiuning  up,  TME  COMMUNIST  I'ARTV  OF  THE  UNI- 
T1';D  STATES  OF  A.MERICA,"  issued  by  the  Seiiat.-  Internal 
Security  Siibcoiiiiiiittee  on  necember  21,  1955,  sets  fintli  a  list 
ol  most  typical  sponsors  of  Communist  front  orgaiii/ations  in  the 
past.  Coining  down  to  the  S's,  we  find,  "Selnmuui,  Frederick  L.". 

C;iIRIST'lAN  EC0N0MK;S  hir  Deeember  27,  1955,  states, 
•A  widely  eirciili'teil  text,  SON'IKT  POEIITCS  AT  HOME  AND 
AHROAr:),  by  Professor  Frederick  L.  Schmnan  of  Williams  Col- 
lege, declares  that  Stalin  'displayi'd  no  bloodthirsty  passion  to 
externiinate  opponents,  but  on  the  contrary,  acted  with  remark 
able  jjatience  and  toleration  in  an  effort  to  conciliate  and  re- 
convert the  dissenters.'  " 

On  the  front  page  of  the  RECORD  for  Saturday,  Deeem 
her  3,  was  the  story,  "Speaking  more  specilieally.  Professor  Scbu 
man  olwerved  that  no  nation  wants  a  ii'-unified  Clermauy  .  .  .  and 
even  Germany  does  not  really  desire  it. " 

The  above  constitutes  the  reasons  why  oiu'  alnininis  will  not 
contribute  any  money  to  the  support  of  Williams  t College. 

Academic  freedom  means  freedom  from  control  bv  the  (;o\- 
eniment.  Academic  freedom  does  not  give  any  professor  license 
to  embarrass  the  C^ollege  by  his  activities  and  bis  statements,  such 
as  his  one  about  Stalin,  which  are  patently  not  true  and  easily  dis- 
provahle. 

Tnitli  never  goes  out  of  fashion  and  is  presimiablv  the  first 
goal  of  education.

"There  I'.v  nothing  so  powerful  ax  the  tmth"—Da.n\e\  Webster 
It  is  indeed  gratifying  to  see  that  one  so  occupied  with  seeking 
out  the  truth  himself  (see  above)  should  he  a  Williams  aluiiinus. 
One  experiences  a  keen  sense  of  joy  upon  reading  the  words  of 
Daniel  Webster  at  the  bottom  of  .Mr.  Loeb's  stationery.  For  in- 
deed what  could  he  more  powerful  than  pure  truth,  ('specially 
when  uttered  by  a  "Son  of  Eph"  as  the  .Mumni  Hulletiii  calls  old 
gratis.  I,et  lis  Imtlier  peruse  .\lr.  I.oeh's  stationery,  for  is  it  not 
true  that  you  can  always  tell  a  Coiiiinniiist  by  his  letterhead?  If 
we  accept  this  logical  hypothesis  we  may  travel  one  step  further 
to  say  that  we  can  always  determine  staimch  defenders  of  1111'' 
TRUTH  bv  tlieir  letterheads.  Reail  on. 

.■\t  the  lop  in  blazing  hliu'  letters  are  the  worils  ASSOCIATED 
NEWSPAPERS,  INC.  To  the  right  are  listed  five  upper  New  Eng- 
land  newspapers  ol  uniiiipeiichable  eharaeter.  Prominent  on  the 
list  is  the  name  of  that  sentinel  of  truth,  77ic  Mwiehester  Ihiioii 
Lender.  Only  one  who  lives  in  New  Ihnnpshire  can  appreciate 
the  truth  of  this  slatcmeut. 

On  the  hit,  under  ASSOCI.'Vll'lD  NEWSPAPERS,  is  the  ad- 
dress ol  the  heail(|iiarlers  which  rules  this  \:is(  empire;  Reno,  Ne- 
vada, P.  O.  Ro.\  Hill,  'lelephone  .■V.'5,S9().  At  first  it  may  seem  i„. 
eougruoiis  that  mie  who  writes  the  editorials  for  a  vast  chain  of 
newspapers  should  set  himself  up  in  Reno.  Rut  when  you  really 
consider  it  yini  mnsi  agree  with  us.  It  is  tot;illy  ineomprehensiblc. 
However,  we  iinisl  consider  the  fact  that  to  get  at  the  truth  yon 
must  be  conmletelv  objective.  "Ya  gotta  g<'t  perspective,"  Mr, 
Loeb  would  doubtless  agree,  though  in  more  grammatical  terms. 

In  expressing  (iod's  own  truth,  one  must  be  precise  and  lo- 
gical. Precisely  this  is  what  .Mr.   I.oeb  has  done.   I,('adiiig  off  he 


says  that  Profi 


Schuman's  name  has  been  found  to  be 


among 


the  "most  typical  sponsors  ol  Coinmimist  front  organizations  in 
the  |)ast".  lie  lollows  by  stating  that  Proh'ssor  Seliuiuan  said 
that  Stalin  nnide  an  effort  to  "conciliate  :ind  reconvert  the  dis- 
senters". 'I'lieii  he  savs  that  Prolessor  Schiiman  said  even  Cermany 
does  not  really  desire  reiiiiilic:itioii.  lie  says  Sehnman's  state- 
ments are  "patently  not  true"  and  "e:isilv  dispro\able'.  Obviously 
Mr.  I.oeb  has  faith  in  the  nieiilalitv  of  the  Williams  student  hodv. 
He  does  not  even  feel  the  need  to  refute  Mr,  Scliuiii:m's 
st:iteiuents.  He  knows  that  Willianis  sliulents  «'ill  aiitoiiiatieallv 
regard  these  statements  as  false.  Mr.  I.oeb  is  good,  lie  is

William.s  skiers.  Captain  Petor

la.st  week  for  an  indefinite  period 
of  time. 

Clark,  practicing  down-hill  on 
the  ley  slopes  of  Mad  River  last 
weekend,  broke  his  shoulder  blade 
when  he  hit  a  stump  in  an  attempt 
to  avoid  people  blocking  his  way. 
He  may  be  able  to  compete  in  the 
Williams  Winter  Carnival,  but  will 
be  lost  to  W'lliams  at  Dartmouth

mononucleosis,  and  will  be  off  skis 
for  an  indefinite  period  of  time. 
He  will  miss  Dartmouth  Carnival. 

With  exams  coming  up  and  with 
the  poor  skiing  conditions  around

limited  their  practice  to  running 
laps  to  keep  in  shape.

For  Fifth  Victory 

Morton  and  Wiimott 
Lead  Purple  Scoring 

In  82-75  Triumph 

Tuesday,  Jan.  17  -  The  fresh- 
man basketball  team  gained  its 
fifth  victory  against  two  losses 
tonight  by  defeating  a  strong  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts  five,  82- 
75,  at  Lasell  Gymnasium. 

Jeff  Morton,  six  foot  five  inch 
center,  once  again  paced  the  year- 
lings as  he  netted  twenty-two 
points  on  eight  field  goals  and 
six  foul  shots.  In  addition  to  his 
fine  .shooting,  Morion,  who  leads 
the  frosh  in  both  total  scoring 
and  rebounds,  played  an  excellent 
all-round  game. 

Williams   Gains 
Large  Halftime  Lead 

Williams  led  throughout  the 
contest,  but  permitted  a  thirteen 
point  half-time  lead  to  dissipate 
to  a  three  point  edge  midway  in 
the  final  quarter.  At  this  point  the 
Eph  cagers  put  on  the  pressure 
and  restored  their  lead  to  seven 
points  and  victory. 

Morton,  who  garnered  sixteen 
points  in  the  first  half  and  sharp- 
shooting  guard  Pete  Willmott,  vho 
scored  ten  points  in  the  second 
quarter,  were  responsible  for  Wil- 
liams' heavy  scoring  In  the  first 
half. 

Excessive  personal  fouling  near- 
ly cost  Williams  the  contest  as 
Massachusetts  scored  twenty-seven 
points  on  foul  shots  as  compared 
to  only  sixteen  for  the  Ephmen. 
Phil  Brown  and  Bob  Parker  were 
particularly  guilty  of  committing 
infractions,  and  both  were  re- 
moved from  the  game  with  five 
fouls  apiece.

Hockey  Team  Defeats  Army,  4  -  3; 
Gallun,  Leinbach,  Marr  Stand  Out 


Wednesday,  Jan.  18  -  The  Wil 
Hams  hockey  team  evened  its  re 
cord  at  3-3  this  afternoon  as  it 
held  on  for  a  4-3  victory  over  a 
tough  Army  six  on  the  Smith  rink 
at  West  Point.  Jumping  off  to  a 
quick  2-0  lead  in  the  first  period, 


guard  positions  respectively  for 
the  Eph  five,  each  contributed  sev- 
enteen points  to  the  Williams' 
scoring  total.  Both  backcourt  men 
played  outstanding  floor  games 
and  .set  up  numerous  Eph  tallies. 
The  Eph  victory  marks  the  fifth 
triumph  for  the  steadily  improv- 
ing frosh  squad.  Following  an  ini- 
tial loss  to  Union,  the  yearlings 
beat  Trinity-Pawling,  Mount  Her- 
mon,  Siena,  and  North  Adams 
State  Teachers  before  being  de- 
cisively defeated  by  a  powerful 
Dartmouth  squad.  If  their  play 
continues  at  the  same  high  level 
displayed  In  tonight's  win  over 
Massachusetts,  the  frosh  may  con- 
ceivably yin  all  of  their  remain-

Coach  Mccormick's  .squad  was  a- 
head  all  the  way.  However,  it  was 
Williams  goalie  Dick  Marr,  with 
a  strong  defense  in  front  of  him, 
who  insured  the  win.  turning  back 
13  shots  in  the  final  period  after 
the  score  was  4-3. 

The  visitors  held  the  upper  hand 
for  tlie  first  two  periods  as  they 
controlled  the  puck  and  peppered 
Cadet  goalie  Jim  Lueders,  who 
stopped  29  shots  during  the  game. 
After  several  thrusts  by  each  team 
had  been  unsuccessful,  the  Ephs 
scored  twice  within  twenty  sec- 
onds to  gain  a  lead  they  never 
relinquished.  With  12:50  gone  In 
the  opening  stanza.  Bob  Leinbach 
flipped  in  the  rebound  from  a  shot 
by  defen.seman  John  Holman.  Im- 
mediately after  this,  at  13:10,  the 
visitors  registered  again  as  Dick 
Gallun  beat  Leuders  on  a  pass 
from   Leinbach. 

Bethune  Srores  Third 
Although  Army  cut  the  margin 
to  one  goal  at  the  end  of  the  peri- 
od wht'n  Marr  failed  to  stop  a 
hard  drive  by  Captain  Ralph  Ches- 
nauskas,  who  was  assisted  by  Het- 
tinger and  A.sbury.  Williams  still 
pressed  hard  on  the  offense.  At 
the  13:30  mark,  Captain  Bob  Be- 
thune made  it  3-1  on  a  fine  play. 
Gallun  picked  the  puck  up  and 
skated  in  on  the  defense.  Drawing 
the  right  defenseman  with  him, 
he  dropped  the  puck  perfectly  to 
Bethune.  who  split  the  defense  md 
drilled  a  hard  shot  into  the  cor- 
ner of  the  net.  Once  again  the 
Cadets  fought  back  with  a  tally 
as  this  time  Bill  Larr  shot  the  disc 
by  Marr  w^ith  an  assist  from  Prcss- 
ner.  The  time  of  the  goal  was  15: 
35. 

Pressing  hard,  tlie  Purple  squad 
upped  the  score  to  4-2  when  Dick 
Flood  batted  In  a  rebound  w.tli 
only  1:35  gone  in  the  final  ses- 
sion. After  taking  a  pass  from 
Doug  Poole,  center  Dave  Cook  took 
a  shot  which  Lueders  kicked  out, 
but  Flood  was  there  to  flip  in  the 
rebound.  Trying  to  protect  their 
lead,  the  Ephs  now  played  more 
defensive  hockey  for  the  remainder 
of  the  game.  Goalie  Marr,  after 
defenseman  Ed  Hickey  beat  him 
at  7:35  on  passes  from  Art  Bou- 
dreau  and  Prossner,  stopped  all 
other  Army  thrusts. 

This  was  an  especially  good  vic- 
tory for  the  Eph  six  as  this  same 
Army  team  edged  Amherst,  4-3, 
and  extended  Princeton  in  losing 
6-5.  After  its  next  game  on  Feb. 
4  against  powerful  R.P.I. ,  Wil- 
liams will  play  Harvard,  Dart- 
mouth, Tufts,  Middlebury,  Hamil- 
ton and  Amherst  twice.

Tuesday,   Jan.    17    -    Coach    Al 

Shaw's  varsity  basketball  team 
won  its  seventh  game  by  defeat- 
ing the  University  of  Massachu- 
setts, 82-69.  at  Lasell  Gym  tonigrht. 
Co-captains  Wally  Jensen  and 
Bob  Buss  paced  the  Ephmen  with 
26  and  24  points,  respectively, 
while  Wall  Shipley  hit  for  17. 

Controlling  both  backboards, 
the  Purple  ran  up  a  29-10  lead  in 
the  first  quarter.  Jensen  and  Buss 
did  all  the  scoring  as  the  Shaw- 
men ran  up  eleven  consecutive 
points  to  close  out  the  opening 
period.  During  the  second  quarter, 
the  home  team  led  by  as  much  as 
21  points  when  Shipley's  hook  shot 
made  the  score,  35-14.  A  U.  Mass. 
all-court  press  was  Ineffective  a- 
gainst  Jensen's  superior  dribbling. 
Jensen  Tallies  26 
The  visiting  Redmen  attempted 
a  comeback  at  the  start  of  the 
second  half  with  Williams  leading, 
44-27.  Jack  Foley,  high  man  for 
the  losers  with  18,  Paul  Aho.  and 
George  Burke  brought  the  losers 
back  into  the  game  with  a  nine 
point  spree. 

A  foul  .shot  and  tap-in  by  Buss 
and  Jensen's  driving  lay-up  put 
the  Ephmen  ahead,  49-36.  After 
Foley's  free  throw  missed  the 
mark.  Jensen  hit  on  a  foul  shot 
and  Buss  followed  with  another 
tap-in  as  Williams  led  by  17  points. 
Jensen  was  the  main  reason 
UMass'  full  court  press  didn't  stop 
the  Eph  offense.  Most  teams  will 
combat  a  pressing  defense  by 
working  give-and-go  pass  plays. 
Not  Williams.  All  they  did  was 
throw  the  ball  into  Jensen  and  let 
him  dribble  downcourt.  His  ball- 
handling  left  the  crowd  gasping  as 
he  dribbled  around  almost  the 
entire  Redman  team  in  getting 
across  the  midcourt  line. 

The  wirmers  continued  to  domi- 
nate play  in  the  fourth  quarter  as 
their  lead  ranged  between  15  and 
20  points.  The  victory  put  Wil- 
liams' record  at  7-2  while  the 
Redmen  dropped  their  fifth  de- 
cision in   13  starts. 

EXTRA  POIN-rS  .  . .  Jensen 
."trengthened  his  hold  on  first 
place  in  the  Western  Massachu- 
setts scoring  race  . . .  Dave  Bartley

.  . .  Among  the  recemt  victims  of 
the  Redmen  was  Springfield  Col- 
lege, whom  the  Ephmen  meet  on 
February  8  . .  .  The  taller  home 
team,  led  by  6'  7"  Shipley,  Buss, 
Jim  Symons,  and  John  Lewis,  had 
a  big  advantage  under  the  boards.

Satuiday,  Jan.  21  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  Glee  Club  will  pre- 
sent the  first  Willinmstown  con- 
cert of  this  season  in  a  Joint 
performance  with  the  Radcliffe 
Choral  Society  on  Sunday.  Feb. 
15  in  Chapln  Hall.  The  proRram

foim.ed  in  its  entirety.  This  per- 
formance of  the  "Vesperae  de

ficant because  it  marks  the  first 
time  that  a  concert  given  in  Wil 
liamstown  by  the  Glee  Club  has 
included  an  orchestral  accompani- 
ment, and  because  the  edition  us-

pared by  Mr.  Nollner.  As  a  result 
of  this  edition,  a  number  of  other 
colleges  have  scheduled  the  work, 
including  Wesleyan,  Sarah  Law- 
rence, Colby  Junior  College,  and 
Haverford. 

The  text  is  composed  of  five 
psalms,  plus  the  "Magnificat", 
the  canticle  of  Mary.  It  will  fea- 
ture a  vocal  quartet  of  two  Rad- 
cliffe students  and  two  Williams 
students.  The  Williams  members 
are  Fred  Lipplncott  '56,  and  Ni- 
cholas Wright  '57,  both  active  in 
Williams  musical  organizations;

Williams  College  Choir,  and 
Wright  as  Director  of  the  Wil- 
liams Madrigal  Singers.

movement  of  the  Mozart  will  be 
sung  by  Marjorle  Kember,  a  re- 
sident of  Pittsfield,  Ma.ssachusetts, 
and  for  two  seasons  a  member  of 
the  Opera  Department  of  the 
Berkshire  Music  Center  at  Tangle- 
wood.

quent appearances  of  this  group, 
in  this  country  and  abroad,  are  a 
number  of  performances  at  Tan-

Club,  with  which  it  has  made  a 
number  of  commercial  recordings 
in  conjunction  with  the  Boston 
Symphony.  These  recordings,  not-

close  the  first  half  of  the  program 
with  a  composition  for  men's 
voices  by  the  Fi'ench  composer

Quia  Refugium".  The  accompani- 
ment for  this  will  be  performed  on

CC  Formulates  Election  Plans;  Approves 
Proposal  Extending  Examination  Period; 
Upholds  Trustees'  Stand  on  Fraternities 


Moiulay,  I'Y'b.  C  -  The  Collejrc  Council  this  eveiiiiiK  formulated 
plans  for  the  coniiiif;  CC  elections  to  he  held  on  Thursday,  Feh.  16. 
In  addition  the  Council  passed  Ted  Wynne's  motion  calling  for  a 
longer  examination  period.  Also,  at  a  special  meeting  last  Thurs- 
day, the  CC  passed  a  resolution  supporting  the  Trustees'  statement 
regarding  (|ualilicati()ns  for  admission  to  fraternities. 

Don  O'Brien,  'S6,  announced  the  election  plans  which  were 
accepted  hy  the  CC;.  Nomination  forms  may  be  obtained  from  all 
Mouse  presiilents,  the  President  of  tiie  JA's,  and  from  Senor  de  La- 
higuera  in  the  Student  Union  starting  Wednesday,  Feb.  8.  Each 

nomination  petition  must  be  sign-  O . 

ed  by  40  students  and  a  student 
may  sign  only  three  petitions. 
O'Brien  Scores  Reticence 
All  petitions  must  be  in  the 
hands  of  the  Rules,  Nominations 
and  Elections  Committee  (O'Brien, 
Frank  Dengel,  '57,  Dee  Gardner, 
'57,  and  Larry  Nllsen,  '58),  by  7;  30 
next  Monday  evening.  Elections 
win  be  held  the  following  Thurs- 
day. O'Brien  expressed  the  hope 
that  any  peison  interested  in  run- 
ning for  office  would  not  be  reti- 
cent about  getting  someone  to 
nominate  him.  In  the  past,  he  said, 
many  worthwhile  persons  liave  es- 
caped attention  by  falling  to  ade- 
quately express  their  Interest  ii. 
the  CC.  O'Brien  also  noted  tht 
poor  attendance  at  recent  elec- 
tions and  launclied  a  plea  that  al 
students  sliow  up  at  the  Studen. 
Union  polls  next  Thursday. 
Wynn  Resolution 
Wynn  said  that  his  plan  has  met 
with  the  unofficial  approval  of  the 
Registrar.  If  faculty-adminlstra- 
tion-Trustee  action  Is  favorable, 
there  Is  a  chance  that  the  new 
plan  will  go  into  effect  next  year. 
The  motion  read: 

"That  the  present  examina- 
tion period  be  extended  to  in- 
clude: 

1-A  three  day  reading  period 
before  examinations.  2-A  more 
uspfn]  .spme.stn^'  break  when 
examinations  are  ended. 
Should  classes  end  on  Satur- 
day, examinations  should  not 
begin  until  the  following  Wed- 
nesday, instead  of  on  the  fol- 
lowing Monday  as  under  the 
present  system. 

Upholds  Trustees 
In  a  special  session  last  Thurs- 
day evening  the  CC  endorsed  the 
following  statement  by  the  Ti'us- 
tees-  regarding   the    admission   of 
individuals  to  fraternities. 
"In    elections    to    fraternities 
. . .  the  board  holds  that  each 
undergraduate  should  be  ac- 
corded   whatever    recognition 
he  merits  as  an  individual  ac- 
cording to  his  ability,  achieve- 
ment, personality,  and  charac- 
ter. 

"And  further  emphasizes  its 
position  that  no  fraternity 
may  operate  on  the  Williams 
campus  whose  Williams  Chap- 
ter is  not  free  to  elect  to  mem- 
bership any  Individual  on  the 
basis  of  his  merits  as  a  per- 
son."

one  assistant  professor  and  31  fac- 
ulty appoinlmenls  were  made  by 
the  Williams  Ti'ustees,  it  was  an- 
nounced recently  by  President 
Baxter. 

William  G.  Cole,  college  chap- 
lain, has  been  promoted  to  Cluett 
Professor  of  Religion:  William 
Pierson  has  been  advanced  to  pro- 
fessor of  art;  and  C.  Wallace  Jor- 
don  is  now  professor  of  mathema- 
tics. 

Associate  Professors 

Promoted  to  associate  professor 
was  Irwin  Shalnman  of  the  De- 
partment of  Music;  John  A.  Mac- 
Fayden  was  appointed  to  assistant 
professor  in  the  Geology  Depart- 
ment. 

Two  Williams  seniors,  James

Eph  Alumni  Fund  Hits  All  -  Time  Record; 
4,959  Make  Donations  to  Annual  Drive 


Wetlnesday,  Feb.  8  -  The  annual  Williams  College  Alumni 
Fluid  Dri\-e  has  exceeded  the  goal  set  for  the  three-month  contrib- 
uting period  for  the  sixth  consecutive  year,  with  an  all-time  high 
of  $222,934  from  4,959  donors,  according  to  the  office  of  Charles 
».  Hall,  alumni  secretary.  Uavid  B.  Matliias  '26,  vice  president  of 
The  Bankers  Trust  Co.,  New  York  City,  headed  the  campaign 
which  had  its  sights  set  on  $200,000.  The  class  of  1910  proved  it- 
self to  have  been  associated  with  the  largest  overall  contribution  - 
$9,973. 

Tl.e  present  day  fund  drives  present  a  slight  change  of  per- 
sonality and  essence  from  those  of  pie-19.'39  days  when  an  average 
of  fewer  than  2,000  alumni  brought  in  about  $20,000.  Following 
the  war,  in  1946,  donations  rose  to  $56,716.  The  drive  received  a 
temporary  suspension  in  1948  and  1949,  when  the  building  and 
endowment  campaign  was  awarded  preference,  but  since  then 
there  has  been  no  stopping  the  steadily  rising  totals.  With  the  lead- 
ership of  Chairman  Jay  B.  Angcvine  '11  of  Belmont,  the  three  suc- 
ceeding drives  netted  $61,685  in  1950,  $115,277  in  1951  and  $135,- 
302  in  1952.  Last  year,  Webster  Atwell  '21  of  Dallas,  Texas,  in  his 
second  year  as  chairman,  directed  a  successful  $194,498  drive. 

A  recent  innovation  to  the  Alumni  Fund  Drive  is  the  non- 
alumni  parents'  donating  contingent  which  also  set  a  record  in 
1955,  this  being  the  the  third  consecutive  year  for  Ingher  totals. 
Under  the  helm  of  |oseph  H.  King,  president  of  the  Union  securi- 
ties Corp.  in  New  York  City,  534  parents  enntributed  $42,592.  In 
1953,  the  non-alumni  parents  gave  $9,700  and  in  the  1954  drive, 
the  sum  mu.shroomed  to  $39,000. 


AFROTC  Status 
Stays  Tentative 

Saltonstall  Announcement 
Raises  New  Questions 


Monday,  Feb.  6  -  The  Williams 
College  AFROTC  detachment  once 
again  found  Itself  not  certain  as 
to  its  future  status  today  following 
substantiated  reports  that  It  was 
among  a  number  of  imlts  previous- 
ly slated  for  disestablishment  in 
June  1957.  As  of  this  evening  the 
decision  regarding  maintaining  the 
unit  was  to  go  to  a  faculty  com- 
mittee for  action  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible. 

The  original  announcement  a- 
bout  tire  Air  Force's  reversal  came 
from  the  office  of  Massachusetts 
senator  Level  ett  Saltonstall.  The 
senator's  announcement  stated 
ihat  the  Williams  detachment 
would  be  reactivated  and  main- 
tained If  the  college  so  requested, 
uocal  commander  Maj.  Clyde  W. 
xfuelher  met  with  President  Bax- 
-er  this  morning,  at  which  time  no 
definite  conclusions  were  reached. 
Others  Involved 

Amherst,  Harvard,  Tufts,  and 
-jowell  I'echnological  Institute  are 
•he  other  Massachusetts  institu- 
jons  affected  by  the  Air  Force 
-.ecision,  according  to  published  re- 
ports originating  in  Washington 
last  Saturday. 

According  to  the  ROTC  office 
liere,  sophomores  presently  enroll- 
ed in  a  condensed  course  of  second 
and  third  year  Air  Science  running 
concurrently  will  continue  unless 
the  faculty  requests  continuation 
of  the  Reserve  Office  program 
here.  In  such  a  case  the  condensed 
course  will  revert  to  a  normal 
course,  and  the  freshmen  who  pre- 
sently will  be  unable  to  receive  an 
Air  Force  commission  for  work  at 
Williams  will  be  allowed  to  con- 
tinue. In  case  of  cuiilinaaace,  a 
new  freshman  ROTC  class  would 
be  enrolled  next  year.

Lecturer  Notes  History 
Of  Jazz  Development, 
Sees  'Way  of  Life' 


Friday,  Feb.  3  -  Before  a  large 
and  attentive  audience  in  the  Bax- 
ter Hall  Rathskellar,  Dr.  Marshall 
Stearns  lectured  on  "Prospectives 
in  Jazz"  saying  that  jazz  "has  tre- 
mendous effect  on  the  American 
culture".  Dr.  Steams  pointed  out 
that  Jazz  has  circled  the  globe  in 
the  past  fifty  years  and  that  it  is 
chiefly  an  American  contribution. 

In  attempting  to  define  Jazz, 
three  characteristics  must  be  kept 
in  mind,  he  declared.  It  has  a 
"horizontal  flow  of  rhythm".  Also 
Important  is  an  "expressiveness" 
close  to  the  human  voice.  Finally, 
Dr.  Steams  stated  that  jazz  must 
possess  an  "immediacy"  or  a  sense 
of  feeling  in  the  music.  Jazz  is 
"based  on  improvisation",  he  em- 
phasized. Humorously  he  inter- 
jected, however,  that  Fats  Waller 
once  quipped  to  a  woman's  ques- 
tion on  a  definition  of  Jazz,  "Ma- 
dam, if  you  don't  know  by  now, 
don't  mess  with  It". 

Foreign  Influence  Noted 

Dr.  Stearns  went  on  to  say, 
"Jazz  has  been  blending  for  three 
hundred  years".  While  it  has  come 
into  its  own  in  the  United  States, 
Jazz  definitely  carries  a  European 
and  West  African  influence.  Eu- 
rope has  contributed  to  the  har- 
mony of  Jazz  and  West  Africa  has 
promoted  the  rhythm.  The  melody 
of  the  music  may  be  attributed  to 
a  blend  between  the  two  foreign 
elements. 

The  development  of  Jazz  in  this 
country  has  come  In  "waves",  he 
declared.  It  progressed  North 
from  the  South,  from  the  Negro 
to  the  White,  and  from  the  coun- 
try to  the  city. 

Collece  Jazz  Courses  Promoted 

Dr.  Stearns  concluded  his  talk 
by  expressing  the  desire  that  A- 
merlcan  colleges  and  universities 
adopt  full  scale  courses  in  Jazz.  He

Wednesday,  Feb.  8  -  Before  an 
overflow  crowd  in  room  111  of  the 
Thompson  Biology  Laboratory  last 
Thursday,  Professor  Luther  S. 
Mansfield  of  the  English  Depart- 
ment opened  the  annual  faculty 
lecture  series  with  an  analysis  of 
the  controversial  novelist  William 
FauU.nc:.  Tomorrow  at  4  Profes- 
sor Shainman  will  speak  on  "Mo- 
zart's Last  Year". 

Asserting  that  Faulkner's  Yok- 
napatawpha  County  is  the  best- 
known  fictional  locale  in  the  Uni- 
ted States.  Mansfield  answered  cri- 
tics of  the  passion,  violence  and 
decadence  of  its  inhaoitanis  as 
pictured  by  Faulkner  by  pointing 
out  that  Hawthorne  and  Melville 
spiced  their  stories  with  similar 
ingredients. 

Mansfield  asserted  that  Faulk- 
ner glorifies  in  his  novels  "Those 
who  endure",  holding  up  the  ra- 
ther negative   values   of   patience  j 
and   submission.    He    sees   Faulk- 
ner's frequent  degeneration  fiom  i 
eloquence    to   long-windedness   as 
a  tacit  acknowledgement  of  an  ul-  j 
timate  failure   in  his   own  meta-  i 
physical  outlook. 


Sermon  in  Chapel 

Preacher  Urges  Balance 
Between  Acts,  Words 


Sunday.  Feb.  5  -  There  has  been 
a  revival  in  "institutional"  reli- 
gion, pointed  out  Rabbi  Judah 
Cahn,  using  the  accumulating 
number  of  new  churches  and  syna- 
gogues as  an  example.  Rabbi  Cahn. 
of  the  Temple  Israel  in  Lawrence, 
Long  Island,  and  a  board  member 
on  the  NAACP,  went  on  to  say 
that  it  is  difficult  to  determine 
the  growth  of  "philosophical"  re- 
ligion. 

I  Expressing  the  belief  that  there 
should  be  a  balance  between  the 
"institutional"  and  tire  "philoso- 
phical" aspects  of  religion,  he  de- 
clared that  religious  institutions 
should  "come  out  squarely  with 
the  simple  statement  that  all  men 
are  brothers".  Men  shall  be  judged 
"by  their  acts,  not  by  their  words", 
he  continued.  "This  is  the  true 
way  to  test  religious  faiths." 

Rabbi  Cahn  further  said  that 
since  "one  God  has  created  us  all", 
every  religious  faith  possesses 
some  truth.  None  possess  "the 
wliole  truth".  He  concluded  saying 
that  no  religious  faith  should 
"tear  down  a  single  part  of  the 
human  race". 


Sigma  Phi  Chapter  Holds  Meeting 
With  National  on  Prejudice  Issue 


Monday,  Feb.  6  -  A  group  of 
undergraduates  from  the  Williams 
Chapter  of  the  Sigma  Phi  Society, 
led  by  house  president  Bob  Be- 
thune.  Journeyed  to  New  York  this 
weekend  to  discuss  with  members 
of  Sig  Phi's  national  the  pledging 
of  two  Negro  students  this  fall. 
The  meeting  came  as  the  result  of 
a  resolution  passed  by  the  frater- 
nity's National  Standing  and  Ad- 
visory Committee,  in  January,  to 
the  effect  that  (1)  in  not  consult- 
ing alumni  and  trustees  before 
pledging  the  two  students,  the 
Williams  chapter  acted  "selfishly 
and  irresponsibly",  and  (2)  that 
if  the  two  Negroes  were  initiated, 
the  house  would  be  Interpreted  by 
this  action  as  having  chosen  to  be- 
come "in  spirit"  a  local  fraternity. 

This  stand  was  challenged  by 
President  Bethune  and  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Williams  chapter.  As 
the  national  Sigma  Phi  organiza- 
tion has  no  racial  clauses,  they 
held  it  their  right  to  pledge  and 
initiate  whom  they  chose.  This 
view  was  backed  up  by  the  Trus- 
tees of  Williams'  chapter,  as  well 
as  by  the  administration.  Trustees, 
and  students  as  represented 
through  the  College  Council. 
No   Clauses 

At  present  there  are  no  frater- 
nities at  Wllliains  with  any  dis- 
criminatory clauses.  This  is  in  ac- 
cordance with  a  ruling  by  the 
Trustees  (see  CC  story)  which  for- 


Report  On  Weekend 
Appears  in  TIME 

Wednesday,  Feb.  8  -  Eighteen 
ministers  from  eleven  different 
countries  made  a  special  trip  to 
Willlamstown  last  weekend.  So 
special,  in  fact,  that  Time  Maga- 
zine is  covering  their  visit  in  this 
week's  issue.  One  reason  for  the 
trip  was  to  relax  after  their  mid- 
year exams  at  Union  Theological 
Seminary.  Far  more  important, 
these  foreign  clergymen  came  here 
to  celebrate  the  150th  anniversary 
of  the  founding  of  the  American 
foreign    missionary  movement. 

The  beginnings  of  American 
missionary  work  can  be  traced 
back  to  a  day  in  August,  1806, 
when  a  small  group  of  Williams 
ireshmen  were  walking  in  the 
lields  near  College,  discussing  re- 
ligion. Suddenly  a  thunderstorm 
came  up.  The  students,  Samuel 
Mills,  James  Richards,  Francis 
Robbins,  Harvey  Loomis,  and  By- 
ram  Green,  dove  under  a  haystack 
to  be  protected  from  the  rain. 
Crucial   Decision 

When  the  storm  had  cleared, 
they  had  come  to  a  decision:  the 
world  needed  saving;  THEY  must 
try  to  save  it.  They  would  be  A- 
merica's  fiist  foreign  missionaries. 
They  completed  their  courses  at 
Williams  and  went  on  to  theolo- 
gical school.  Fiftully,  111  1815  they 
sailed  for  India  to  carry  out  the 
oath  they  swore  under  the  hay- 
stack in   1806. 

As  Reverend  Fox  of  the  First 
Congregational  Church  observed 
last  week,  "What  a  strange  twist 
of  fate.  One  hundred  and  fifty 
years  ago,  six  Williams  men  con-

bids  such  limitations  on  member- 
ship. 

Bethune  was  optimistic  concern- 
ing the  outcome  of  the  eleven 
chapter  meeting.  As  evidence,  Be- 
thune cited  the  definite  support 
of  at  least  four  other  chapters  be- 
fore the  meeting  began.  A  definite, 
public  statement  concerning  Sigma 
Phi's  national  status  will  be  re- 
leased on  Tuesday,  Feb.  7. 


Wednesday,  Feb.  8  -  In  a  critical 
analysis  of  the  pressing  problem  of 
increased  enrollment  on  the  Amer- 
ican college  campus  today,  Henry 
Steele  Commager,  Professor  of  A- 
merican  History  at  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, recently  asserted  that  the 
most  serious  issue  facing  higher 
education  is  not  that  of  material- 
istic facilities  but  rather  the  rais- 
ing of  intellectual  standards,  im- 
perative to  mature  students.  The 
problem,  which  has  received  curi- 
ously little  attention,  was  revealed 
in  a  New  York  Times  article  of 
January  29  by  Professor  Com- 
mager. Commager  said  that  "par- 
ents, faculty  and  administrators 
should  be  prepared  to  yield  to  stu- 
dents a  more  important  role  in  all 
phases  of  college  education  than 
they  possess  today." 

Because  this  nation  is  wealthy 
enough  to  accommodate  the  pro- 
ducts of  prosperity  and  increased 
birth  rate,  "the  problem  isn't 
bricks,  it's  brains".  There  aren't 
enough  adequate  scholars  to 
shoulder  the  burden,  due  to  the 
competition  afforded  by  the  Na- 
tional and  State  governments  and 
in  other  areas  of  opportunity. 
Possible   Solutions 

Looking  ahead.  Professor  Com- 
mager offered  some  possible  solu- 
tions. One  would  present  an  over- 
hauling of  the  heavily  emphasized 
lecture,  this  plan  putting  more 
stress  on  the  individual  responsi- 
bility of  the  student  and  less  on 
the  "spoonfeeding"  process  often 
present.  Another  suggestion  in- 
volves concentration  of  students 
In  certain  fields  by  establishing 
schools  of  specialized  study  rathei 
than  having  so  many  schools

Loeb  At  Low  Ebb 

When  a  newspaper  recoi\'es  a  letter  of  tlie  eharaeter  ot  Mr. 
Loeb's,  it  is  confronted  witli  the  diffieiillv  of  how  to  reply.  Thi're 
are  tour  alternatives  of  dealinjr  witli  the  prol)k'in.  First;  refuse  to 
jjriiit  the  letter.  This  would  be  teniptinsr  as  tlie  contents  seem  ab- 
surd and  unwortliy  of  being  printed.  I  lie  daiij^er  liere,  however, 
is  tuat  Mr.  Loeb  would  use  tlie  omission  to  attempt  to  convince 
people  of  the  validity  of  Ins  argument.  A  second  alternative  woukl 
be  lo  print  tlie  note  replyini;  witli  ridicule.  This,  in  lact,  was  the 
original  choice  of  the  at,(JUUU,  mainly  because  we  Iclt  that  to 
repiy  seriously  would  imply  that  the  KhCOKU  regardetl  the  letter 
as  deserving  more  serious  attention  than  we  felt  it  ditl.  Thi'  danger 
of  such  an  approach  is  that  the  UliCOfiD  is  lowering  itself  bv  em- 
ploying Loebian  methods.  Coiise(|iieiitlv,  as  Mr.  Loeh  stoops  lower 
aiKl  lower,  this  newspaper  would  be  lorccd  into  a  less  and  less 
responsible  argument  as  was  accurately  pointed  out  in  Mr.  Ua\id- 
soa  s  cnticisni. 

A  third  alteriiati\e  was  to  ])rint  the  letter  offering  no  repiv  in 
the  hope  that  all  would  see  that  the  letter  wa.s  obviouslv  absurd. 
lliis  would  he  cowardly  and  could  periuit  .Mr.  I.oi'l)  to  remain  ini- 
cheeked  in  his  attempt  to  injure  the  innocent.  The  final  a|iproaeh, 
and  the  method  the  KECOUD  is  now  convinced  is  the  onlv  \alid 
one,  IS  to  gi\e  a  reasoned  reply.  This  is  distasteful  in  that  we  are 
forced  to  admit  that  Mr.  Loeb  deserves  serious  replv.  but,  unfor- 
tunately, we  must  answer  to  the  Loebs  and  the  Westbrooks  for 
freedom  of  thought  is  not  maintained  by  a  haughtv  attitude.  .\ll 
too  often  in  the  past  few  years,  many  of  our  fellow  conntrymen 
lia\e  been  cowardly  or  remained  above  it  all  in  the  face  of  the  at- 
tacks of  tlie  Loebs. 

I'irst  of  all,  it  shoud  be  pointed  out  tliat  Mr.  Loeb  does  not 
make  any  direct  accusation  concerning  Professor  Schuman.  Instead 
he  uses  the  fairly  common  techuitpie  of  innnendoes  tiesigned  to 
lead  tue  reader  to  one  inevitable  conclusion.  He  merely  i|Uotcs 
tlircc  pnblicadons  and  concludes  that  he  is  not  contribntiug  any 
nioniy  to  tlie  support  of  \V'illianis  College.  .\h.  Westbrook's  letter 
of  agreement  is  basically  of  the  same  substance  although  written 
ill  a  more  confused  style.  Needless  to  say,  both  slanderous  letters 
ar';  designed  to  play  on  peojile's  fear  ot  Communism. 

Perhaps  .Mr.  Loeb  and  .Mr.  Westbrook  should  be  reminded  that 
there  is  no  person  of  such  e.\alted  position  that  he  should  prescribe 
to  mankind  what  shall  be  orthodox  in  politics,  religion  or  thought. 
Mr.  Loeb,  who  says  that  he  considers  truth  the  first  goal  of  eiluca- 
tioii,  should  certainly  realize  that  freedom  of  iii(|uiry,  freedom  of 
teaeliing,  freedom  of  dissent  and,  most  important,  freetlom  of  mind 
are  all  necessary  for  the  attainment  of  truth. 

It  is  especially  distasteful  to  see  some  person  so  dedicated  to 
liberal  democracy,  as  is  .Mr.  Schuman,  accusi^d  by  the  use  of  innu- 
endoes of  communist  sympathies.  The  Williams  RECOUD  does 
not  feel  that  it  must  point  out  how  very  highly  regarded  he  is  by 
his  profession.  We  thank  him  hir  his  relentless  contributions  to 
education.  Those  students  who  have  studied  under  him  have  been 
particularly  impressed  by  his  tireless  search  for  the  truth.  Such  a 
search  is  directly  antithetical  to  Comuiunisin. 

Professor  Schiuiian,  like  all  members  of  the  academic  world, 
must  have  intellectual  freedom.  If  by  upholding  this  right,  we  must 
ourselves  become  targets  of  smears  by  mis-guided  ]iatriots,  then 
it  must  be  so.  That  penalty  is  not  as  great  as  the  denial  of  the  stim- 
ulation and  progress  which  is  received  from  an  unfettered  faculty. 

Behind  Greek  -  Lettered  Doors 


At  a  time  when  racial  segregation  has  become  a  burning  na- 
tional issue,  it  is  heartening  to  note  that  libertv  and  equality  are 
quietly  practiced  in  some  quarters  of  the  country.  The  most  recent 
evidence  of  this  is  the  pledging  of  two  Negro  students  by  a  Wil- 
liams fraternity.  In  a  recent  resolution  mailed  to  the  .3,()(M)  national 
members  of  Sigma  Phi,  the  National's  Standing  and  .Vdvisory  Com- 
mittee warned  that  continuation  of  this  stand  might  lead  to  a  for- 
feit of  the  Sig's  national  affiliation.  The  stand  of  the  chapter  to 
continue  plans  to  initiate  the  two  boys  on  Feb.  LS  has  received 
strong  siqjport,  however,  by  the  alumni  trustees  of  the  cha|)ter. 

There  have  been  many  noiile  thoughts  expressed  about  seg- 
regation and  racial  discrimination  over  the  past  few  years.  Senti- 
ment on  the  subject  culminated  with  the  recent  Supreme  Court 
decision  against  segregation.  It  appears  that  many  supposedly 
well-educated  men  —  educated  in  the  humanities  and  classics  — 
merely  pay  lip  service  to  the  belief  in  the  "equality  of  man ". 

The  issue  at  stake,  however,  involves  more  than  an  act  of 
"equality  of  man".  The  two  men  in  (luestion  were  pledged  because 
they  were  wanted  in  the  fraternal  bond.  Their  indi\idual  merits 
were  responsible  for  tlie  bids  tliey  received  from  the  fraternity 
There  was  no  desire  by  the  chapter  to  raise  the  banner  of  right- 
eousness. Independent  thinking  and  integrity  of  thought  and  action 
were  exercised  on  the  part  of  the  actives.  This  is  really  the  issue 
at  hand.  Are  we  going  to  foster  independent  thinking  apart  from 
group  and  outside  pressures?  Or  is  this  free  thought  to  be  sup- 
pressed? If  wc  allow  it  to  be  go\-erued  by  external  pressures,  then 
wc  are  being  traitorous  to  our  own  integritv  of  thought  and  action. 
The  biggest  sacrifice  we  can  make  is  to  K>t  our  minds  be  hypnotized 
Iiy  an  outside  power.  But  it  takes  courage  to  let  our  thinking  die 
tatc  our  lives.  And  this  is  the  kind  of  courage  that  Sig  Phi  has  dem- 
onstrated in  its  recent  action. 

Critics  of  fraternities  slionld  take  note  of  the  .serious  thinking 
displayed  and  examine  the  behavior  of  their  own  contemporaries. 
Recent  events  indicate  that  clear  and  unbiased  thinking  exist  he- 
hind  Greek-lettered  doors.  Bernard  (barman,  in  the  lirrkxhirc  Eu^Jc, 
puts  it  well  when  he  says,  "thev  have  merely  given  us  another  bit 
of  evidence  that  the  much-slandered  'younger  generation'  is  not 
all  frivolity .  .  .  From  our  scat,  it  appears  that  the  young  men  are 
more  in  touch  with  their  time  than  many  of  their  elders."

To  tlie  Editor  of  tlie  RECORD: 

Alter  reading  the  "lU'liUalioii  and  Reply"  to  Mr.  I.oeb's  letter 
of  last  Salnrday,  I  eoulil  not  help  but  feel  Ihal  ihe  Rl'X.'OUU  has 
rtgressitl  to  the  grade  school  stage  where  accusations  are  met  only 
by  further  imid-shnging. ,  ,,  . 

The  basic  statement  of  Mr.  Loeb's  letter  was  that  Mr.  Fred- 
rick L.  Schuman  of  the  Williams  College  lacully  was  named  by 
the  U.  S.  News  ami  \\  orld  Report  as  a  sponsor  ol  tJoummnisL 
Iront  organizations.  .Vfter  reatling  this  slatenient,  or  aeeusation  ii 
yon  will,  1  glancetl  to  the  next  column  and  was  met  by  the  im- 
pressive heailing,  'Refutation  and  Reply'.  I  felt,  'Well,  here  tin 
question  will  be  auswercti,  ami  .\lr.  Sclmuum's  name  will  be  cleareu 
Irom  all  redilish  taint."  What  a  misconception!  lusteatl  I  found 
five  poorly  written  paragraphs  ol  ab.solntely  nothing.  .Vt  no  time 
was  the  accusation  coneeriung  .Mr.  Schuman  "relnted",  only  his 
assumption  of  certain  of  .Mr.  Seliumans  statements  about  ole  Jot 
Stalin,  e\erybotly  s  pal,  and  of  Cerman  re-nnilieation.  What  has  the 
RECORD,  ami  .Mr.  Rose  in  particular,  to  gain  Irom  these  snide 
relerences  to  .Mr.  Loeb's  stationer)',  his  ofliee,  the  hid  that  "Va  got- 
ta get  perspeetixe'",  etc.?  That  in  no  way  answers  the  (|uestion  — 
"Are  Williams  College  nntlergratluates  being  taught  by  Comimmist 
affiliates  or  sponsors  '  I  am  slightly  more  interested  m  this  ques- 
tion than  in  Mr.  Loeb's  Reno  phone  number. 

Leave  the  smear  jobs  to  the  politicians!!

To  the  Editor  of  tlie  RECORD; 

"A  diplomats  words  must  liii\e  no  relation  to  actions  —  other- 
wise what  kind  of  diplomacy  is  it?  Wortls  are  one  thing,  actions 
another.  Good  words  are  a  mask  lor  the  concealment  ol  bail  deeds. 
Sincere  diplomacy  is  no  more  possible  than  dry  water  or  iron 
wood." 

I  refer  to  your  editorial  p;ige  of  the  January  21st  issue,  the 
letter  irom  the  distinguished  editor  William  Loeb,  and  the  article 
Rettitatiou  ami  Repiy  . 

1  am  unable  to  see  either  refutation  and  rcjjly  in  the  ;irticlc, 
and  a  gooti  tleal  ol  juvenile  irony  is  its  cliici  constitnenl. 

I  l)elie\c  that  the  al)o\e  t|tiotation  from  a  once  \ery  promin- 
ent heati  ol  a  powerhd  nation,  is  ample  enough  justilication  tor  the 
apparent  approval  ol  your  ethtorial  stafl  ol  the  reported  slalcments 
oi  I'rol.  Scnuman,  wnosc  words  arc  gootI  when  they  come  Imni 
iiis  own  pregnant  mind,  and  perhaps  even  better  when  the)'  ;ire 
copietl   Irom   pnlillcity  releases  ol   the  Kremlin. 

I  ha\e  ncMT  known  .Mr.  Stalin,  nor  .Mr.  Sclumi;in  either.  To 
ihe  liest  ol  my  inlorniation  and  belief  the  i|uotalion  above  is  from 
Stahn,  ;iiul  the  relerences  to  the  .McCarthy  (.tJharliej  act  ol  the 
V\illi;iins  prolessor  are  taken  from  the  recortis  ol  hearings  before 
a  <..()ngression;d  Committee. 

Now  Williams  students  (|uite  possibly  do  not  need  this  infor- 
mation. It  is  possible  that  .Mr.  Loeb  thinks  better  ol  their  intelli- 
gence than  tloes  Stephen  C.  Rose,  tint  il  they  do  sei'k  enlighten- 
ment it  is  not  at  all  dilfictilt  to  get  it.  The  intimate  history  ol  the 
Huge  eoudueted  by  the  gentle  and  solicitous  heart  ol  .Stalin  is 
available  —  no  doubt  in  the  library  of  Williams  College  —  and  if 
not  there,  certainly  in  the  private  library  of  Fredrick  L.  Schuman. 

.\nd  then  again  there  are  no  doubt  certain  etlitors  who  iirefer 
not  to  be  enlightened.

Down  Eph  Squad; 
Dick  Marr  Stars 


Purple  Registers  First, 
But  Engineers  Score 
3  in  Second  Period 


Troy,  N.  Y„  Feb.  4  -  Although 
playing  one  of  the  best  games  of 
the  season,  llie '  Williiims  hockey 
team  could  not  equal  the  team- 
work of  a  fine  RPI  squad  as  the 
Ephmen  went  down  to  a  5-2  defeat 
tonlKht  at  the  victors'  rink  here. 
The  Engineers,  con,sistently  rated 
among  the  top  collegiate  hockey 
teams,  kept  the  pressure  of  the 
Williams  defense  throughout  the 
game. 

Goalie  Dick  Marr  was  a  standout 
performer  for  the  Eph  team.  He 
was  peppered  with  53  shots  by  the 
hard-hitting  winners  and  drew 
many  ovations  from  the  large 
crowd  for  his  alert  and  acrobatic 
goal  tending. 

Poole    Hurt 

Doug  Poole,  right  winger  for  the 
Ephs,  was  hurt  in  the  game  as  he 
bumped  heads  with  another  player 
and  was  knocked  out.  However, 
after  further  examination  by  me- 
dical autliorities,  he  was  pronounc- 
ed healtliy  and  should  not  be  lost 
to  the  team  for  too  long  a  period. 

Williams  drew  first  blood  when 
center  Dave  Cooke  slammed  home 
a  ten-footer  at  6:03  of  the  first 
period  on  a.ssists  by  Dick  Flood 
and  Poole.  In  the  third  period  Bob 
Leinbach  slapped  in  the  Ephmen's 
other  point. 

Scoring  once  in  the  first  and 
third  periods,  and  three  times  in 
the  second,  RPI  overwhelmed  the 
Ephmen,  Frank  Chiarelli  scored 
twice,    in    the   second   and    third 


Eph  Runners  Third 

In  N.  Y.  Mile  Relay 


New  York,  Feb.  4  -  Coach  Tony 
Plansky's  winter  track  team  jour- 
neyed to  Madison,  Stiuare  Garden 
today  to"  participate  in  the  mile- 
relay  event  of  the  Millrose  Games. 

'I'he  Eph  relay  team  placed  third 
beliind  iWaryland  and  Holy  Cross 
in  the  event,  and  beat  out  Colum- 
bia and  Brown.  Tim  Hanan,  Steve 
Carroll,  Andy  Smith,  and  Bill  Fox 
ran  in  that  order.  The  Purple  time 
was  3:29.6,  with  Fox  running  the 
anchor  in  51.0. 

Dartmouth  Places 
First  at  Carnival 


Saturday,  Feb.  4  -  As  the  46th 
annual  Dartmouth  Winter  Carr.i- 
val  ended  today,  the  WilUams  ski 
team  came  home  with  a  sevenlli 
place  in  the  two  day  contest.  There 
were  six  events,  and  the  Ephmen 
wound  up  with  a  total  of  522.77 
points.  Dartmouth  nosed  out  Mid- 
dlebury  for  top  honors  by  a  score 
of  579.69  to  579.59. 

Phil  Palmedo  placed  in  every 
event  and  took  fourteenth  in  the 
.slalom.  Pete  Elbow  also  scored  in 
all  events,  including  ninth  in  the 
Nordic  combined.  Jim  Becket  plac- 
ed in  all  but  the  cross-country, 
and  earned  a  good  eleventh  in  the 
downhill  event.  Captain  Pete 
Clark  and  Chip  Wright  also  helped 
the  Purple  score  along. 

The  Ephmen  as  a  team  captured 
sixth  in  two  events,  seventh  in  two 
events,  and  eighth  In  two  events. 
Behind  Dartmouth  and  Middle- 
bury  in  the  final  totals  were  New 
Hamp.shire,  Vermont,  St.  Law-

1  rounces  Coast  Guard  Academy,  89  -  73 
As  Buss,  Jensen,  Shipley,  Symons  Star 


Saturday,  Feb.  4  -  The  Williams 
basketball  team  successfully  re- 
bounded from  its  surprising  defeat 
at  the  hands  of  Middlebury  before 
exams  to  nip  an  unexpectedly 
strong  New  York  Athletic  Club 
squad  92-89  on  Wednesday,  Feb.  1 
m  New  York  and  to  trounce  Coast 
Guard  Academy  89-73  tonight  on 
Its  home  court. 

Williams  appeared  to  be  headed 
for  an  easy  victory  against  the 
N.Y.A.C.  as  the  Ephs  opened  up 
an  imposing  fifteen  point  lead 
late  in  tlie  first  half  mostly  as  a 
result  of  the  fine  shooting  of  co- 
caplains  Bobby  Buss  and  Wally 
Jensen  who  caged  thirty  and 
twenty-five  points  respectively. 
Symons  Plays  Well 

As  the  second  half  progressed, 
the  N.Y.A.C.  steadily  reduced  the 
Eph  lead  until  there  was  only  a 
two  point  difference  between  the 
teams  with  but  two  minutes  re- 
maining to  play.  At  this  stage  the 
consistent  outside  set  shooting  of 
Jim  Symons  not  only  kept  the 
Ephs  in  the  contest  but  insured  a 
Williams'   victory. 

Although  he  garnered  a  respec- 
table sixteen  points,  Symons'  tiue 
value  to  the  team  can  be  recog- 
nized only  nhen  it  is  realized  that 
he  had  a  very  high  shooting  per- 
centage and  .scored  most  of  his 
baskets  at  crucial  moments  during 
the  game. 

Ephs  Tied  with  Coast  Guard 
at   Half 

As  in  the  N.Y.A.C.  game  Wil- 
liam.? gained  a  quick  lead  against 
Coast  Guard  and  led  8-0  early  in 
the  first  quarter  before  Coast 
Guard  even  scored.  The  Cadets 
proceeded  to  cut  the  Eph  lead  to 
two  points  at  the  quarter  and  to 
tie  the  game  at  35-35  at  halftime. 

Highscoring  guard  Ernie  Allen 
paced  the  Coast  Guard  rally  as  he 
iepeatedly  tallied  with  an  ac- 
curate set  shot  from  the  cornei 
Also,  Williams'  loose  baU  handling 
and  failure  to  guard  against  fast 
breaks  contributed  to  the  Coast 
Guard   comeback. 

Jensen   Scores   30 

Williams    outscored    its    oppo- 


nents by  five  points  in  the  third 
quarter  and  continued  to  increase 
its  lead  in  the  fourth  quarter  un- 
til a  sixteen  point  margin  of  vic- 
tory was  reached  when  the  final 
whistle  blew. 

Wally  Jensen  sparked  the  Eph 
offensive  spurt  as  he  contributed 
thirty  points  to  the  Williams'  scor- 
ing total.  Jensen  scored  eleven 
field  goals,  mostly  jump  shots, 
and  eight  fouls  out  of  eight  free 
ihrow  attempts. 

Shipley  Good 

Walt  Shipley  played  one  of  his 
better  games  at  center  as  he  scor-  i 
ed  eighteen  points  and  helped  the 
Ephs  control  the  boaids.  But  once 
again  much  of  the  credit  for  the 
victory  must  be  attributed  to  the 
unspectacular  but  consistently 
fine  play  of  Jim  Symons,  who, 
making  a  large  percentage  of  his 
sliois,  accounted  for  eighteen 
points  and  also  paced  the  Ephs 
under  the  boards  as  he  picked  oft 
sixteen  rebounds. 


Varsity  Hoopsters 
To  Play  Maroons 

Wednesday,  Feb.  8  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  varsity  basketball 
team  plays  host  to  the  Invading 
Maroon  and  White  of  Springfield 
College  in  the  Lasell  Gymnasium 
tonight  at  8:30.  This  will  be  the 
twenty-first  meeting  between  the 
two  Massachusetts  scliools,  Spring- 
field having  won  fifteen  to  Wil- 
liams' five.  Playing  at  Springfield 
last  year,  the  Ephmen  defeated 
the  Maroon  and  White  85-75. 

Although  the  visiting  cagers'  re- 
cord is  not  very  impressive,  it  is 
expected  that  they  will  give  the 
comparatively  short  Williams  team 
quite  a  lot  of  trouble.  Touring  the 
south  in  early  December,  the 
Springfield  five  suffered  three 
losses  at  the  hands  of  University 
of  Tennessee,  Tulane  University, 
and  East  Tennessee  State.  The  fol-

74  MAIN  STREET  NORTH  ADAMS 


Monday,  Feb.  6  -  The  freshman 
frogmen  pulled  a  close  one  out  of 
the  fire  this  afternoon,  to  beat  a 
strong  Hotchklss  varsity,  41-36. 
Sparked  by  the  record  perform- 
ances of  Ephman  Chip  Ide  and 
Capt.  Paul  Wachendorfer  of 
Hotchkiss,  the  two  teams  reached 
the  final  event  with  the  visitors 
clinging  to  a  two-point  lead.  A 
mark-setting  win  in  the  relay  gave 
the  junior  Muir-men  their  sixih 
straight  win. 

Williams  drew  first  blood  in  the 
medley  relay,  but  Coach  Bill  01- 
sen's  splashers  steadily  closed  the 
gap  in  the  next  three.  Since  the 
medley  relay  was  making  its  first 
appearance  in  the  Purple  pool  to- 
day, the  winning  time  of  1:55.2  is 
the  record. 

Hotchkiss  moved  out  front  in 
the  dive,  and  stayed  there  through 
the  last  three  individual  races, 
despite  frosh  firsts  in  the  100  yd. 
freestyle  and  100  yd.  backstroke, 
by  Reeves  and  Tatem  respectively. 

The  100  yd.  breaststroke  saw  the 
Lakeville  star,  Capt.  Paul  Wach- 
endorfer, turn  in  a  new  pool  mark 
of  1:2.1.  This  was  not  .surprising, 
as  he  holds  the  National  Prep- 
school  record  ot  1:1.3. 

With  only  the  200  yd.  freestyle 
relay  to  go,  the  score  stood  at 
Hotchkiss,  36;  Williams,  34.  A 
tense  and  excited  crowd  saw  Bill- 
villite  Jack  Hyland  get  off  to  a 
good  start.  Frost  and  Wipper  kept 
the  Olsen-men  a  yard  or  so  be- 
hind, and  anchorman  Ide  cinched 
the  race,  the  meet,  and  a  frosh 
record  of  1:37.9. 

The  highlight  of  the  day  for 
Williams  was  Chip  Ida's  time  of 
23.1  seconds  in  the  50  yd.  free- 
style, a  seven-tenths  reduction  of 
the  old  record.  His  total  of  6  and 
three-quarters  points  was  matched 
by  Ephmen  Reeves  and  Tatem, 
with  Wipper  and  Mennen  close 
behind.  Wachendorfer.  Starkwea- 
ther and  Hixon  were  high-scorers 
for  the  visitors. 

The  next  home  meet  will  be  a- 
gainst  Deerfield  on   Feb.   13,   and 
on  Mar.  3  the  Amherst  frosh  will  i 
have    their    chance    at   WilUams-  j 
town. 


By  Chester  K.  Lasell 

Saturday,  Feb.  4  -  Tlie  Williams 
varsity  swimmers  remained  un- 
beaten this  afternoon  as  they  over- 
whelmed visiting  Springfield,  last 
year's  New  England  Champions, 
by  a  54-30  score  in  Lasell  Pool. 
In  winning  their  third  consecutive 
meet,  tlie  Muirmen  took  eight 
first  places  out  of  ten  events,  los- 
ing only  the  50  yard  freestyle  and 
the  final  race,  the  400  yard  free- 
style relay. 

The  home  team  jumped  off  to  a 
5-0  lead  as  the  300  yard  medley  re- 
lay team  of  Dave  Cunningham. 
Fred  Corns  and  co-captain  Bill 
Jenks  outdistanced  Bob  Kurtz,  Ted 
Belanger  and  Gene  Wilk  in  a  time 
of  3:07.6.  After  Cunningham  had 
opened  up  a  fifteen  foot  lead  in 
the  first  100  yards,  breaststroker 
Corns  held  it  and  Jenks  lengthen- 
ed the  winning  margin  to  twenty 
feet  at  the  finish.  Distance  star 
Pete  Dietz  kept  his  two-year  un- 
defeated skein  in  the  220  freestyle 
intact  when  he  beat  out  Maroon 
co-captain  Art  Schoneiter  by  just 
over  six  feet  in  the  next  event.  The 
other  Springfield  co-captain  Jim 
Gaffney,  was  third  with  the  win- 
ning time  being  2:15.3. 
Severance,   Grossman,   Jenks    Win 

The  visitors  scored  their  first 
win  in  the  50  yard  freestyle  as 
junior  Jim  Clarke  set  a  new 
Springfield  College  record  in  edg- 
ing Williams  co-captain  Kirt 
Gardner  out  by  a  handlength  in 
the  excellent  time  of  23.7.  Carl 
Sameulson  of  the  losers  was  third. 
With  the  score  now  standing  at 
13-10  for  the  home  team,  the  Pur- 
ple proceeded  to  take  six  firsts, 
three  seconds  and  two  thirds  in 
the  next  six  events  to  make  the 
margin  54-23  with  only  the  final 
relay  to  go  and  thus  turn  the  meet 
into  a  strictly  one-sided  affair. 

Sophomore  star  Bob  Severance 
won  the  150  individual  medley  by 
five  feet  over  Dick  MacDonald  of 
Springfield  in  a  time  of  1:40.7. 
with  the  Maroon's  Jack  Welch 
third.  Following  this  impressive 
performance,  the  large  crowd  saw 
ace  diver  Buster  Grossman  return 
to  winning  form  after  his  loss  in 
the  UConn.  meet  as  he  amassed 
an  outstanding  total  of  107.75 
points  for  8  dives,  missing  his  own 
recoid  set  last  year  by  only  .03 
of  a  point.  Bob  Jones  of  Williams 
finished  second  in  this  eveiit  with 
the  visitors'  Lou  Ringer  behind 
him.  Jenks  and  Gardner  took  first

by  journeying  to  Princeton  Friday 
night  and  to  Annapolis  Saturday 
only  to  be  nipped  by  Princeton  5-4 
in  an  even,  hard-fought  match 
and  to  be  soundly  trounced  by  Na-

contest.

glen 


much  too  tough  for  the  Ephmen 
as  cocaptain  .Scotty  Wood  emerg- 
ed as  the  lone  Williams'  individual 
winner.  Wood,  playing  in  third 
position,  triumphed  over  Tom 
Lynch  in  three  straight  sets  15- 
12,  15-7,  15-10. 

Stafford  Extends  Clark 

Ollie  Stafford,  playing  in  the 
number  one  position  for  Williams, 
was  the  only  Eph  player  even  able 
to  carry  his  opponent  to  five  sets 
before  losing  his  match.  He  was 
defeated  by  Don  Clark  15-7,  9-15, 
16-17,  15-12,  15-13. 

In  contrast  to  the  decisive  de- 
feat administered  at  the  hands  of 
Navy,  Williams  lost  to  Princeton 
in  an  extremely  close  match.  Sam 
Eells  and  Tom  Shulman,  seated 
fourth  and  seventh  respectively  on 
the  Williams  squad,  both  extended 
their  opponents  to  five  sets  before 
bowing.  Had  either  Eells  or  Shul- 
man been  able  to  win,  the  one 
game  margin  of  Princeton's  vic- 
tory w'ould  have  been  transformed 
into  a  Williams  triumph. 
Four  Ephmen  Win 

Stafford,  Tom  Jones,  Rogers 
Southall  and  Dick  Ennis  all  won 
their  matches  against  their  Prince- 
ton opponents.  Stafford  edged 
"Van"  Van  Ripen  15-9,  11-15.  15- 
11.  16-13.  Second  seeeded  Jones 
beat  Jim  Farrini  15-11,  15-9,  15-17. 
Southall  and  Ennls  both  triumph- 
ed in  four  sets. 

Scotty  Wood,  Charlie  Alexander 
and  John  Barton  were  fairly  de- 
cisively beaten.  Eells  and  Shul- 
man. however,  both  lost  in  very 
tight  matches.  After  dro-iping  the 
first  two  sets  to  Terry  Evans  by 
scores  of  15-8  and  16-13,  Eells 
rallied  and  won  the  next  two  sets 
15-12,  15-6  only  to  droD  the  de- 
ciding   fifth    set    8-15.

by  Springfield's  Kurtz  to  beat  him 
by  four  feel.  Dieti  won  his  third 
straight  440  yiiid  freestyle  of  the 
season  wher  he  defeated  Schonei-

tianity to  the  uncivilized  peoples 
of  Asia.  Now,  one  hundred  anu 
fifty  years  later,  ministers  from 
these  very  mission  countries — In- 
dia, China,  Japan,  Egypt,  Peru, 
Korea,  Syria,  Thailand,  Australia, 
Nigeria,  Cuba — have  come  bringing 
Christianity  back  to  us." 

Rockefeller  Foundation  Grant 

These  eighteen  ministers  came 
to  the  United  States  to  do  some 
special  study  at  Union  Theological 
Seminary.  The  Rockefeller  Foun- 
dation has  granted  Union  a  half 
a  million  dollars  to  subsidize  a 
five  year  program  of  this  special 
study. 

Each  year,  of  which  this  is  the 
first,  25  outstanding  young  clergy- 
men from  all  over  the  world  are 
chosen  to  come  to  Union  for  one 
year.  Tills  year's  delegation,  of 
which  two  are  women,  ranges  from 
27  to  49  years  of  age.  Fifteen 
countries  are  represented. 
Give  Guest  Sermons 

Reverend  Fox  of  the  First  Con- 
gregational Church  conceived  the 
idea  for  the  weekend,  and  it  was 
he  who  invited  the  group  to  come 
up  here.  Later  he  contacted  the 
WCC,  Reverend  Cole  the  College 
chaplain,  and  all  the  other  minis- 
ters in  the  Berkshire  area. 
Through  the  other  ministers  he 
arranged  that  each  of  the  eighteen 
visiting  clergymen  appear  as  a 
guest  preacher  in  a  different  Pul- 
pit on  Sunday  morning. 

Through  the  assistance  of  Dave 
Loomis  '5(i.  iuid  Bob  Clark  '57,  of 
.he  WCC,  Reverend  ro.\  plaimed 
.hat  each  of  the  eighteen  clergy- 
men would  have  two  student  es- 
jorts  tlirough  most  of  their  stay 
in  Willianistown.  Each  of  the  fra- 
lernities.  the  freshman  cla.ss,  and 
the  non-affiliates  played  host  to 
one  of  the  ministers  during  mo.st 
of  Saturday  and  part  of  Sunday. 
The  Clergymen  ate  lunch  Saturday 
and  Sunday  in  the  houses  and  in 
ihe  Student  Union. 

Besides  religious  conferences,

Radcliffe,  Williams  Choral  Groups 
Sing  Stirring  Mozart  ^Vesperae^ 

Sunday,  Feb.  5  -  This  afternoon  in  Chapin  Hall  the  liadcliffe 
Ciioral  Society  and  tlie  Williams  College  Clee  Club  piesenled  a 
joint  concert  ol  choral  music.  The  Feature  work  on  tlie  program 
was  the  "Vesperae  de  I'Joiniiiieu",  one  oi  the  lesser  known  works  ol 
Mozart.  This  perlormaiice  was  signilieaiil  both  musically  and  in 
Ihe  histor)'  of  the  (dee  tlhib.  It  was  the  lirst  time  the  t;iee  Club

sisting ol  local  iustrumentalisls.  comprised  six  violins,  two  triiinpets, 
and  a  t\'inpaiu.  The  t^iiapin  Hall  organ  was  played  bv  I'rolessor 
Kobert  Harrow. 

The  programining  ol  a  work  ol  this  si/.e  is  ambitious,  to  say 
the  least,  and  it  was  in  this  ease  exceptionally  well  leali/.ed.  While 
both  the  Hadelille  and  the  Williams  groups  had  rehearsed  the 
Mo/.ait  separately,  they  did  not  get  togelber  lor  a  joint  relieaisal 
until  the  tlav  belore  the  peiloiuianee.  'Ihe  oreheslia  had  rehearsed

Teaching 


"wliii'li  act  as  if  the  burden  of 
maintaining  the  whole  carpus  of 
learning  rested  upon  them." 

"A  thiid  method",  Commager 
explained,  "is  a  catting  down  of 
the  paraphernalia  of  education 
such  as  required  courses,  exami- 
nations, grades,  credits  and  also 
of  administrative  overhead." 
Standards  and  Exprrtationg 

The  most  valuable  approach, 
and  crux  of  the  matter,  is  to  make 
college  students  more  responsible. 
"Let  them  educate  themselves  and 


'  thus  hold  a  vigorous  and  creative 
role  in  higher  eduealion".  Profes- 
sor Commager  emiiliasized.  "The 
students    must    be    provided    wltli 

I  intellectual,  pli.v.sical  and  moral 
guidance  to  protect  them  against 
"revolutionary"  ideas  and  associa- 
tions"— That  is  the  popular  credo 

;  and  as  the  writer  .says,  a  false 
principle.  Because  tlie  young  con- 

'  form  to  wliat  is  expected  of  them 
"it  is  es.sential  that  we  fix  our 
standaids  and  our  expectations 
high  and  respect  the  intelligence. 
Individuality  and  maturity  of  the 

j  college  student".

first  meet  in  1935.  he  was  cho.sen 
captain  of  the  Lebanon  Higli 
School  team  for  his  junior  and 
senior  years.  This  paiticirlar  in-

of  New  Hampshire  and  immediate- 
ly made  the  varsity  in  his  first 
year.  While  he  was  there.  New 
Hampshire  boasted  one  of  tile 
strongest  ski  teams  in  the  east, 
either  winning,  as  it  did  in  his 
fre.shman  year,  or  finishing  in  the 
top  three,  in  the  Dartmouth  Car- 
nival.

Coach  Townsend  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  famed  Army  ski  troops. 
He  took  part  in  the  invasions  of 
Kiska  in  the  Aleutian  Islands  and 
Italy,  where  he  was  wounded  in 
action.  Due  to  this  injury,  he  was

competition  in  the  world  which 
he  was  to  face  the  next  February.

New  York.  Feb.  8  -  The  na- 
tional officers  ot  the  Sigma  Phi 
fraternity  dropped  all  suspen- 
sion charges  against  its  Wil- 
liams chapter  for  the  pledging 
of  two  negro  students.  In  a 
meeting  here  today,  the  na- 
tional fraternity's  Standing 
■Advisory  Committee  said  that 
its  "Williams  chapter  has  not 
now  nor  has  it  ever  been  sus- 
pended or  expelled  and  that 
there  Ls  no  present  intention  of 
taking  such  action". 


Friday,  Feb.  10  -  Word  ha.s  it 
that  this  is  Winter  Carnival  Week- 
end at  Williams  College.  Scattered 
reports  received  from  fairly  reli- 
able sources  all  over  the  country 
tend  to  indicate  that,  true  t,o  form, 
the  world-famous  winter  spectacle 
is  making  its  annual  appearance. 

Scientists  in  Berkley.  Californi- 
a.  report  .strange  disturbances  in 
Northwestern  Ma.ssachu.setts:  the 
Annhauser-Busch  Brewing  Com- 
pany of  St.  Louis  boasts  a  tre- 
mendous upsurge  in  New  England 
sales  this  week;  College  Professors 
all  over  the  country  complain  of 
a  piolonged  day-dreaming  and 
lack  of  attention  among  their  fe- 
male students  i  particularly  among 
the  more  attractive  ones  i ;  high- 
way officials  have  turned  out  in 
full  force  to  cope  with  the  bumper- 
lo-bumper  traffic  mysteriously 
pouring  in  from  all  directions; 
even  the  Boston  and  Maine  Rail- 
road. President  Patrick  B.  McGin- 
nis  not  withstanding,  delightedly 
claimed  an  increase  in  passenger 
revenue  for  the  first  time  in  127 
years. 

The  Early  Birds 

It  all  began  yesterday  morning 
when  the  advance  vanguard  of 
the  hundreds  of  comely  beautie.-. 
of  varying  degrees  of  voluptuous- 
ness began  to  brighten  the  campus 
and  its  winter  weary  inhabitants; 
eye-catcliing  entries  for  the  snow 
sculpture  contest  among  the  fra- 
ternities along  with  tlie  major 
masterpiece  at  the  Student  Union, 
also  add  to  the  festive  atmosphere. 

The  organized  proceedings  swing 
into  high  gear  tonight  wlien  John- 
ny Mical  plays  for  dancing  In  the 
Baxter  Hall  Freshman  Dining 
room,  skillfully  decorated  in  a 
winter  motif.  Meanwhile.  Cozy 
Cole's  well-known  dixieland  outfit 
will  be  blasting  downstairs  in  the 
upperclass  Lounge.  At  intermis- 
sion, of  course.  Cozy  will  conduct 
one  of  his  own  stylized  jam  ses- 
sions followed  by  the  famous  Hon- 
ey Dreamers'  smooth  and  spark- 
ling contribution  to  the  fun  and 
frolic.

SC  Votes  To  Kill 
Baxter  Hall  Plan 


Friday,  Feb.  10  -  Last  Tuesday 
night  the  SC  voted  down  and 
killed  the  Nilsen-Yankus  plan  for 
fraternity  members  to  eat  in  the 
freshman  dining  room  this  semes- 
ter. Though  only  11  houses  were 
represented  at  the  meeting,  the 
proposal  was  turned  down  by  a 
safe  margin.  Tlie  idea  had  been 
pa.ssed  by  the  College  Council. 

The  Nilsen-Yankus  plan  pro- 
vided that  every  three  weeks  of 
the  second  semester,  each  house 
send  five  members  over  to  eat  with 
the  freshmen.  Throughout  the 
term,  this  means  that  each  house 
would  have  sent  25  men. 

Criticism   of   Plan 

The  main  objection  that  turned 
up  in  the  SC  meeting  was  that 
it  would  lead  to  a  great  deal  of 
dirty  rushing.  Others  felt  that 
this  effort  is  "too  little  and  too 
late". 

Two  other  subjects  came  up  at 
the  Tuesday  meeting.  First.  Dean 
Brooks  discussed  houseparty  plans 
and  rules.  Second,  the  problem  of 
allocating  the  $2200  in  dirty  rush- 
ing fines  was  again  raised.  The 
consensus  was  for  giving  it  to 
the  SAC. 


THE  WILLIAMS  HECOHU,    SATUKDAV.  FEBHUARY  11.  1956 


Sam  Stud  Snow  Sculpture  Slaying 
Solved  By  Silent,  Snooping  Sleuth 

by  Joe  Albright 

Tlie  housepaity  crowd  was  deeply  saildeiied  tonij^lit  to  learn  of 
the  traj^ic  demise  of  VVilliains'  first  citizen,  Sam  Stiitl.  Sam  was  the 
victim  of  a  hizarre  fire-axe  and  hat-pin  murder.  He  was  foiMiil  at 
6:30  p.m.  by  one  of  the  judgis  of  the  snow  sculpture  contest,  who 
had  become  suspicious  when  tlic  prize-wiiininf;  entry  had  sucldeniv 
been  transformed  and  renamed  "trainwreck". 

Ever  since  the  late  .Mr.  Stud  had  Jane  Uus.sell  to  his  hi(j;h  .scluwl 
junior  prom,  some  people  ha\e  asserted  that  bis  techni((ue  was  ra- 
ther smooth.  He  came  to  Williams  three  years  aj^o  on  the  .Miildooi. 
scholarship  for  indoor  athletes.  Since  that  time,  he  has  won  man\ 
brilliant  campaigns  in  Northampton,  Pouf;hkeepie,  and  Saratoga. 
Last  year  he  renounced  his  amateur  standing  to  accept  a  new  post, 
assistant  professor  at  Williams.  Professor  Stiul  was  the  fir.st  man 
e\er  to  attain  |)rofessor's  rank  during  bis  sophomore  year.  ILs  l^eld. 
natmally,  is  "Sex,  love  and  marriage". 

RECORD  to  the  Rescue 

On  hearing  of  tlie  death  of  "one-date  Sam",  the  ever-alert, 
e\er-crusading  KECOHD  dispatched  one  of  its  19  ace  reporter.-, 
to  the  scene  of  the  crime.  Our  reporter  went  straight  to  Sam  Stud  s 
bedroom.  He  knew  what  he  was  looking  for:  Sam's  famous  note- 
book. It  was  hanging  in  its  usual  place,  from  a  string  on  the  left 
bed-post.  In  tliis  notebook  our  sleutli  found  the  clue  that  cracked 
the  case.  Here  is  what  he  found  in  the  notebook. 
Friday,  Feb.  10 

Janey  —  8:30  train  in  Billville.  Scouting  report:  she  is  apt  to 
be  strong  ui  first  (juarter,  so  take  it  slow.  Powerful  forward  wall, 
but  weak  around  ends  and  in  secondary.  Pass  defense  erratic.  Al- 
ways a  sucker  for  the  scotch-and-water  play.  Try  tlie  run-pass  op- 
tion and  belly  series.  When  she  gets  behind,  her  defense  falls  apart 
completely. 

Kitsy  —  4:30  P.  M.  at  house.  Scouting  report:  very  dangerous 
in  first  rounds.  Has  been  known  to  cut  opponents  long,  tleep  and 
continuously.  However,  she  tires  easily  and  has  never  gone  15. 
When  tired,  she  will  try  to  force  clinches.  Has  had  nearly  70  fights 
without  being  knocked  down.  All  preliminaries;  this  is  her  first 
main  event. 

Schedule  —  9:00  a.m.  Training  meal.  Drink  a  cpiart  of  cream  to 
coat  stomach.  Follow  with  two  slugs  of  olive  oil.  Down  two  no-doz 
pills. 

9:30  —  Meet  Janey  at  train.  Use  grectnig  16b.  Take  her  hags  up  to 
the  house.  WALK!  Do  not  drive.  Tell  her  how  you  hurt  your  arm 
skiing  (Line  —  "I  cauglit  an  edge  in  a  practice  run  at  Cortina".) 
When  she  offers  to  carry  her  bag,  let  her. 

9:59  —  Take  her  to  Phil,  class.  This  step  must  be  timed  correctly, 
so  that  you  will  have  to  sprint  the  last  200  yards.  Have  questions 
])re])ared  to  ask  instructor,  in  case  lecture  is  not  dull  enough.  Ex- 
ample, "How  do  the  ethnic  theories  of  Plautinus  influence  Schop- 
enhaur's  jshilosophy  of  animal  husbandry?"  Prepare  several,  for 
instructors  ha\e  a  nasty  habit  of  giving  good  lectines  during  house- 
party. 

10:20  —  By  this  time  Janey's  resistance  will  be  mighty  low.  She 
has  arm  fatigue  from  carrying  her  95  pound  suitcase  a  (|uarter  of 
a  mile  up  a  hill,  leg  fatigue  from  sprinting  to  class,  and  brain  fa- 
tigue from  the  philosophy  lecture.  In  addition,  she  had  to  get  up 
at  5:00  a.m.  to  catch  the  train.  Tlirough  this  combination,  she 
ought  to  be  sound  asleep  with  her  head  on  your  shoulder.  If  so, 
poke  her  and  whisper  some  sweet  nothing  in  her  ear,  like,  for  ex- 
ample, "Didja  know  that  Aristotle  was  Greece's  foremost  advo- 
cate of  free  love'?"  When  she  goes  back  to  sleep,  poke  her  again. 
10:50  —  Bell  rings.  Time  to  start  offensive  meneuvers.  Start  with 
the  queen  gambit,  i.e.,  "if  the  guys  in  the  house  vote  for  it,  would 
you  mind  being  in  the  carnival  queen  contest?"  Remember,  she 
has  been  queen  at  Dartmouth  for  two  years  running,  so  she  may 
not  fall  for  this. 

10:59  —  Ask  her,  "Sprechen  Sie  Deutsch,  bitte?"  If  she  says,  "Did  I 
do  what  this  morning?"  and  tries  to  belt  you,  it  is  a  good  indication 
that  she  doesn't  take  German.  Therefore,  take  her  to  German  class. 
(Note:  If  she  says  "Ja,  gewiss!",  you  are  sacked.  Cut  German  and 
audit  Spanish  3-4.) 

11:51  —  Bell  has  rung.  The  chances  are  Janey  will  have  had  enough 
of  the  higher  things  in  life  for  one  day.  Proceed  to  the  house,  so 
as  not  to  miss  the  sour  hour.  Down  five  or  six  sours  very  tpiickly. 
With  any  luck,  she  will  have  matched  you.  This  will  put  her  well 
on  her  way,  as  she  has  had  no  breakfast  or  lunch,  and  hardly  any 
sleep.  Concentrate  on  your  groimd  offense,  but  vary  with  long 
pa.sses. 

4:30  —  This  is  the  absolute  deadline.  Take  her  to  her  room  to 
change.  You  must  conserve  your  strength,  so  let  her  carry  her  bag. 
Again,  your  skiing  injury  routine.  Say  good  night  to  her  —  variation 
3c.  She  will  be  so  punchy  she  won  t  be  able  to  tell  that  it  really 
isn't  night  at  all. 

5:00  —  Combination  of  whiskey  sours,  two  excruciatingly  boring 
classes,  and  arm  fatigue  from  carrying  suitcase  wiU  tend  to  make 
her  a  little  tired.  Suggest,  in  a  hyper-goodguy  tone  of  voice  that 
she  take  a  little  nap  before  dinner,  and  lend  her  your  alarm  clock. 
5:02  —  Get  into  your  car  which  is  parked  around  comer  and  drive 
to  grim  gym,  for  another  training  meal.  One  quart  cream,  two 
western  sandwiches  and  a  no-doz  pill. 

5:07  —  Drive  to  house.  Kitsy  will  be  there  waiting,  as  she  got  a 
ride.  Start  right  off  with  the  carnival  queen's  gambit.  Previous 
tests  have  shown  that  Kitsy  drinks  whiskey  sours  at  the  rate  of  12 
per  hour,  and  she  has  been  waiting  since  4:30.  Therefore  she  will 
fall  for  this  plot,  guaranteed.  Follow  this  with  a  stepover  toehold 
and  a  full-Nelson  takedown.  Then  give  her  the  "You  are  the  softest" 
technie|ue,  culled  from  "The  Tender  Trap". 
5:30  —  Drive  Kitsy  down  to  her  room,  which  is  across  the  hall  from 
Janey's.  While  Kitsy  is  changing,  tiptoe  into  Janey's  room  and  timi 
off  the  alarm  clock. 
5:45  —  Back  to  house.  Everyone  else  is  down  in  the  bar  drinking 
keg  beer.  Kitsy  is  allergic  to  same,  but  her  love  for  whiskey  sours 
is  prodigious.  Therefore,  you  will  have  but  little  trouble  in  induc- 
ing her  to  come  up  to  your  room  where  you  just  happen  to  have 
more  sours.  From  then  on,  ad  lib.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  while  Kitsy 
is  drinking  sours,  you  might  just  as  well  go  talk  to  your  room-mate  s 
girl.  After  all,  he  is  working  on  the  snow  sculpture,  and  she  will  get 
very  lonesome  ....  fust  in  case,  she  goes  wila  for  technicjue  82a  .  .  .

Tliis  weekciul  iiiiuks  a  tiiiii'  in  tlif  Wiiliams  sporliiij^  scene 
wlii'ii  skiiiij;,  iioiinally  a  partitipatioii  activity  lor  inaiiv  Kphinen, 
Ih'coiiic's  a  spectator  sport  for  students  and  (lieir  dates.  'Vhv  l)est 
eollef^iate  skiers  in  the  nation  will  i;o  schussinn  down  Ml.  (key- 
lock's spceily  Tliuiideibolt  Trail,  juinpinf^  off  tlu-  (ioodall  Hollow 
platform,  and  racing  thron^li  nine  miles  ot  Savoy  State  forest. 
These  sports,  especially  tlie  spectacular  jnnipinn  Sunday  mornini;, 
should  draw  a  lar^e  crowd  ol  viewers  willing  to  brave  the  cold  in 
orilcr  to  vicarionslv  nain  the  thrills  of  spei'dint;  down  the  licach- 
erous  trails. 

Many  top  skiers  will  ))rov  ide  action  and  excitement  for  those 
willins^  to  net  up  early  enough  Saturday  inorning  to  hike  up  tiie 
Tliunderholt  trail.  Uovyevi'r,  the  absence  of  one  skier  is  as  nevvs- 
vv'orthv  as  the  presence  of  all  the  rest,  lie  is  t.'hico  li;aya,  a  Dart- 
month  student  who  has  just  returned  from  (^)rtina,  Italy,  where 
he  represented  his  country,  japan,  in  the  Winter  Olympic  Cliuiies 
just  completed.  Igaya  finishi'd  second  in  the  Olympic  slalom  eyent 
and  would  have  been  a  suri'  favorite  to  run  away  vyith  that  race 
here.  Unfortiniately,  studies  came  first.  C.'hico  is  Hiving  up  this 
weekend  of  skiing  in  order  to  take  niake-u|)  e.\ams  at  Dartmouth. 

In  trying  to  predict  the  vyinner  of  the  (larnival,  a  cohunuist 
can  not  go  too  far  out  on  a  limb.  Year  in  and  year  out,  three  schools, 
Dartmouth,  Middleburv  ami  New  Hampshire,  dominate  the  conr 
petition.  The  Williams'  carnival  should  duplicate  last  vyeek's  close 
race  between  fJartmonth  and  Mitldlebury  at  the  Dartmouth  Clar- 
nival.  Less  than  a  ])oint  separated  the  two  teams  at  the  close  of 
competition  as  Dartmouth  won  its  own  meet.  This  weekend  should 
prove  to  be  about  as  close.  ' 

In  rcyievying  the  snimnaries  of  the  Dartmouth  nn'ct,  one  fact; 
stands  out  above  all.   Dartmouth,   vyith  a   levy  outstanding  skiers, 
dominates  tlu-  first  place  position  in  most  events.  Hut  MicUUebiu'y, 
])icks  up  its  points  by  gaining  a  great 
eyeii  though  he  didn  t  vyin  any

till'  tournament. 


Egil  Stiginn,  a  native  of  Norway,  leads  the  Creeu  skiers.  He 
won  tlu'  Slalom  at  tlu'  Dartmouth  Carnival.  I'ete  fCirby,  a  h)rnier 
Canadian  f''IS  team  member,  is  another  man  to  watch  along  vyith 
Dave  llarvyood,  an  ace  .\lpine  skier,  llarwood  took  high  places 
in  both  the  slalom  and  dovynhill  races  at  Dartmouth.  |ohn  Seely,  a 
VVilliamstovyn  resident,  is  a  leading  cross-country  man. 

Middlebury  aces  include  lieattie,  an  all-around  man;  Erauk 
Jlnrt,  an  I'xcelient  .Mpine  and  cross  country  runner;  and  Norm 
Cunimings,  a  jumper.  Cmnmings  attended  the  Olympic  jumping 
trials.  Leader  of  the  New  Hampshire  club  is  |on  Hiisnaes.  ;i  Nor- 
wegian vyho  vyor]  the  Dartmouth  Nordic  Combined  event.  Dick 
Eield  and  l^ick  Osgood,  two  men  who  vyeri  invited  to  tlu'  Olym- 
pic trials,  also  will  ski  lor  Nevy  Hampshire.  Briefly,  tlu'se  are  the 
men  and  teams  to  vyatch  over  the  weekend. 

Perhaps  it  is  unpatriotic  not  to  mention  Williams  once  in  this 
column,  but  their  chances  ot  vyimiing  the  meet  or  an  eyent  are 
almost  nil.  However,  don't  count  the  tsphmen  short.  Haying  re- 
gained their  Class  A  ranking  last  year,  they  arc  shovyiiig  up  well 
;igainst  .some  of  the  best  collegiate  skiers  in  the  east.  The  team  was 
hurt  by  the  loss  of  eajitain  Pete  Clark  because  of  a  broken  shoulder 
blade.  Clark  was  an  ex|H'riencetl  Alpine  skier. 


Friday,  Feb.  12  -  Here  is  a  bIos- 
sary  of  ski  terras  and  evonts  tluit 
may  cause  confusion  vvlien  watch- 
InB  or  reading  about  tomorrovi's 
meet. 

Six  events  count  for  points  in  a 
slci  meet.  Tliey  are  the  downhill 
race,  the  slalom,  the  alpine-com- 
bined, the  jump,  the  cross-country 
race,  and  the  no:  die-combined. 
PollowinB  is  an  explanation  of 
the    events: 

Alpine:  Tlie  downhill  and  slalom 
events.  So  called  because  this  type 
of  skiing  originated  in  the  Alps. 
Besides  being  awarded  points  for 
finishing  high  in  the  individual 
downhill  and  slalom  races,  skiers 
get  points  in  the  alpine-combined. 
The  winner  of  this  is  tlie  best  in 
both  events,  although  he  does  not 
have  to  win  either. 


upliills,  rough  terrain  and  tricky 
downhills  witli  few  flat  spots.  The 
Williams  course  is  known  as  a 
rough  test  of  a  skier's  endurance. 
The  race  must  begin  and  end  at 
the  same  area  to  insure  the  same 
number  of  uphills  as  downhills. 

Jump:  Scored  on  a  combination 
ot  distance  and  jumping  form.  The 
competitor  is  Judged  on  the  steadi- 
ness ot  flight  and  smoothne,ss  of 
landing. 

Skimeister:  The  best  all-around 
skier.  He  gains  the  most  total 
points  in  all  events  and  is  the 
most  respected  by  all  the  other 
skiers. 

Schuss:   A  straight,  steep  ulope.

Nordic:    The   jump    and   cross-    ■ 
country  events.  So  called  because  ! 
this   type  of   skiing   originated   in  i

Saturday.  Feb.  U  -  Competitors 
in  today's  downhill  and  slalom 
races  will  be  running  on  one  of 
the  four  best  racing  trails  in  the 
East. 

Mt.  Greylock's  Thunderbolt 
trail  is  known  throughout  the  area 
as  a  nightmare  for  speed  skiers. 
It  is  the  fastest  and  most  danger- 
ous trail  that  college  teams  will 
race  this  year.  Along  with  three 
other  Eastern  racing  trails,  it  has 
been  given  a  Class  A  ranking.  Ski- 
ers have  been  timed  averaging  over 
60  miles  per  hour  over  its  rough 
course. 

One  feature  of  the  Thunderbolt 
trail  is  the  great  variety  of  its 
slope.  It  ranges  from  long,  steep 
portions  where  the  skiers  must 
keep  full  control  of  themselves 
while  .schussing  down  at  great 
speed  to  bumpy  traverses  of  fairly 
level  ground.  All  this  as  the  trail 
curves  down  the  side  of  Mt.  Grey- 
lock,  the  highest  peak  in  Massa- 
chusetts, 

The  "Needle's  Eye"  provides  an 
exceptionally  tough  test  for  the 
skier.  It  is  a  narrow,  sharp  corner 
with  a  reversed  bank.  The  trail 
turns  to  the  right  while  the  hill 
slopes  to  the  left,  making  it  easy 


Downhill  Race:  Run  against  the 
clock  downhill  and  involves  con- 
trol while  moving  at  a  high  speed. 

.Slalom:  A  race  against  time 
through    gates,    which    are    flags 

set  in  pairs.  It  emphasizes  speed 

and  control.  Points  are  taken  off 
for  the  competitor  to  run  off  the  i  ^^  j^^  ,^,j.,.  j^j,,  j„  g„  through  the

Townsend  Former  Olympic  Ace 

1940  ;ilter  captaining  the  ski  team  in  his  last  year.  During  that  year 
he  tia\clled  out  to  .Seattle  where  he  won  the  National  uordic  com- 
bined ehampionship  loi  the  second  time.  Alter  graduating  witli 
his  ,\.  H.  degree,  Townsend  returned  for  one  more  year  to  work  lor 
his  Master's  degree  in  Biology,  which  he  receiyed  belore  being 
t;dled  to  Williams.  Before  leaving  lo|-  Williamstown  in  September 
of  19.50,  he  was  ;i  member  of  the  U.  S  team  which  competed  In  the 
!•'.  I.  S,  World  Ski  (,'liampionsbips  at  Bumford,  Me. 
C.iiiiclicn  yi/)/i.v  to  "A"  lidliiif^s 

In  bis  first  season  as  Williams  coach,  Town.send's  tireless  el- 
forts  and  steady  interest  brought  his  team  a  victory  in  the  Class  B 
(;liampionships  at  Lydonyille,  Vt.  Ciordon  .McWilliams  captained 
the  Lpbs.  The  19.5l-.j2  season  saw  Williams  again  win  the  Class  B 
but  also  the  s(|u;id  gained  a  Class  A  rating.  Tliis  team  was  led  by 
(Japlain  Neddie  (iollins.  who  was  the  best  skier  Townsend  has  as 
yet  coached  in  the  downhill  slalom.  (Collins  could  beat  such  stars 
as  Daitmouth's  B;ilph   Miller. 

In  l9.52-.>3  Townsend  coached  his  team  to  a  strong  lourth 
place  finish  in  (Jla.ss  .\  with  New  Hampshire  placing  third  by  only 
.03  of  a  point.  (;aptain  Bob  'Tucker,  outstanding  in  the  cross-coun- 
ti\',  led  this  powerlnl  s<|uatl.  'The  next  season  saw  the  Ephs  lose 
tbeii-  Class  A  standing  by  placing  ninth  inider  Captain  Joe  Foote, 
another  fine  cross-country  skier.  Town.send's  team  regained  its  A

Ephs,  Alfred  Open  Cage  Rivalry 
In  Big  Houseparty  Battle  Tonight 


Friday,  Feb.  10  -  In  the  1956 
Winter  Carnival's  first  athletic 
contest.  Coach  Al  Shaw's  Purple 
quintet  will  talce  the  floor  auainst 
the  Alfred  College  Saxons,  Satur- 
day at  8:15  p.m.  This  will  marl: 
the  first  time  Williams  and  Alfred 
have  met  on  a  basketball  court. 

The  Saxons  boast  a  five  and 
five  won-lost  record  but  four  of 
their  five  wins  have  come  In  away 
games.  In  addition  to  their  vic- 
tories, the  Saxons  have  lost  two 
games  by  very  slim  margins.  The 
University  of  Buffalo,  usually  a 
national  basketball  power,  eked  out 
only  a  two-point  decision  over  the

Alfred    cagers,    and    Colgate    was 
lucky  to  do  the  same. 

Scoring  Punch 

Millard  Evak,  a  6'  4"  forward, 
who  returned  to  college  for  his 
senior  year  following  military  ser- 
vice, is  Alfred's  biggest  scoring 
threat.  He  holds  nearly  all  of  the 
school's  scoring  records,  many  of 
which  were  formerly  held  by  6'  7" 
Bob  Corwln,  who  still  plays  center. 
John  McNamara,  the  other  for- 
ward, also  consistently  scores  In 
double  figures.  As  a  team,  the 
high  scoring  Saxons  have  averaged 
70.2  points  per  game  to  their  op- 
ponents 68. 

On  February  14,  the  Ephmen 
will  journey  to  R.P.I.  The  Engin- 
eers play  many  of  the  same  teams 
that  Alfred  plays,  and  have  been 
hovering  around  the  .500  mark  all 
sea-son.  Captain  Bob  Pagano  leads 
Rensselaer's  well  balanced  offense. 

After  losing  to  Middlebury,  the 
Williams  team  edged  out  a  strong 
New  York  Athletic  Club  aggrega- 
tion, 92-89,  on  Feb.  1.  Buss  and 
Jensen  were  high  scorers  for  the 
evening.  In  its  contest  with  the 
Coast  Guard  Academy,  Jensen 
starred  again  by  netting  30  points, 
and  the  Eph  five  took  the  game 
by  a  comfortable  89-73  margin. 

Last  Wednesday  in  the  Lasell 
Gymnasium,  Williams  dropped  its 
fourth  game  of  the  campaign  in  a 
sloppy  contest  with  Springfield 
College,

squad,  have  put  the  slopes  in  fine 
condition.  Williams  Coach  Ralph 
Townsend  commented  that  "This 
year  we  have,  because  of  careful 
organization  and  a  bit  of  luck,  the 
best  conditions  In  many  years  for 
a  Williams  Carnival  Ski  Meet". 

The  weekend  .skiing  schedule 
will  lake  place  both  Saturday  and 
Sunday,  with  the  downhill  at  9:30 
and  the  slalom  at  1:30  tomorrow 
on  Thunderbolt  Trail.  The  events 
Sunday  will  be  the  Cross-country 
at  9  in  Savoy  State  Forest,  and 
the  jumping  at  Goodell  Hollow, 
South  Williamstown,  at  1:30. 
Dartmouth,  Middlebury 
^  Continue  Rivalry 

Dartmouth  skiers,  who  edged 
Middlebury  by  one-benth  of  a 
point  last  week  at  the  Hanover 
Carnival,  will  battle  it  out  again 
this  weekend  with  the  Panthers. 
Coach  Walt  Prager's  Big  Green 
entries  include  Captain  Pete  Kirby, 
Class  A  rated  skier,  who  finished 
seventh  In  the  NCAA  slalom  last 
year  and  managed  a  thirteenth  in 
the  downhill  despite  a  broken  ski, 
and  Egil  Stigum.  who  finished 
second  and  third  in  the  NCAA 
downhill  and  slalom  respectively. 
The  Panthers,  who  lost  their  regu- 
lar coach  Bobo  Sheehan  to  the 
Olympic  squad,  boast  Captain  Jack 
Seattle,  who  won  the  skimelster 
award  at  Hanover  last  week,  and 
Norm  Cummings,  who  placed  first 
in  the  Jumping  events. 

Townsend  Predicts  Fourth 

Williams  Coach  Ralph  Town- 
send  commented  frankly  on  the 
Ephmen's  chances  ever  the  week- 
end, predicting  a  fourth  behind 
Dartmouth,  Middlebury,  and  the 
University  of  New  Hampshire. 
Townsend,  at  the  beginning  of  the 
season,  thought  the  team  would 
be  weak,  but  he  commented  that 
they  have  good  potential,  and  after 
a  recommendable  showing  at  Han- 
over last  week,  should  finish 
fourth.  Hampered  by  a  lack  of 
snow  and  cancelled  meets,  the 
Ephmen  have  taken  a  fourth  at 
Lyndonville  and  a  seventh  at  the 
Dartmouth    Carnival. 

Clark   Hopes  to  Compete 

Captain  Pete  Clark,  who  injured 
his  shoulder  in  recent  practice, 
hopes  to  start  today,  and  could 
be  a  great  asset  to  the  Purple 
team.  Competing  in  the  slalom 
and  downhill  along  with  Jack 
Wright,  Phil  Palmedo,  and  Jim 
Becket,  Clark  will  be  replaced  by 
Hugh  Clark  if  he  is  incapacitated. 
In  the  Cross-country,  Townsend 
plans  to  use  Pete  Elbow,  Hugh 
Clark,  Palmedo,  Becket,  and  Reg- 
gie Plesner,  while  the  jumping  will 
be  done  by  Elbow,  Hugh  Clark, 
Palmedo,  Becket  and  Tony  Smith. 
Both  Palmedo  and  Elbow  scored 
in  every  event  at  Hanover  last 
week. 

The  University  of  New  Hamp- 
shire is  a  probable  third  in  this 
meet,  but  could  press  Middlebury 
and  Dartmouth.  Paced  by  Norwei- 
gan  skier  Jon  Rllsneas  who  won 
the  Dartmouth  jump  and  the  Nor- 
dic Combined,  and  Dick  Field  and 
Dick  Osgood  who  both  won  Olym- 
pic tryouts,  they  possess  a  fine 
team.  All  of  the  top  teams  are 
pointing  towards  the  Class  Cham- 
pionship next  week  at  Middlebury, 
and  the  competition  should  be 
keen. 


If  you  ore  a  sophomore  and  plan  on  buying  a  new  Ford  (the

Educator  Attacks 
Diplomas  For  All 

Wright  States  Views 
In  Magazine  Piece 

Monday,  Feb.  6  -  In  an  article  in 
the  Education  section  of  the  cur- 
rent issue  of  "Newsweek",  the  Pre- 
sident of  Smith  College,  Benja- 
min F.  Wright,  blasted  the  prin- 
ciple of  college  education  for  all. 

Pres.  Wiight  maintained  that, 
although  the  so-called  "rising 
tide"  of  students  should  be  a  cause 
for  serious  thought,  "to  talk  of  a 
liberal  college  education  for  all 
...  is  sentimental  and  dangerous 
nonsense".  He  described  this  idea 
of  universal  higher  education  as 
the  result  of  a  false  concept  of 
Jacksonian  and  Jeffersonian  de- 
mocracy, and  blamed  "soft-heart- 
ed reformers  "  for  its  growth. 

Agrees  With  Jefferson 

The  former  professor  of  govern- 
ment agreed  with  the  opinions  of 
Thomas  Jefferson  on  the  subject 
of  education.  Jefferson  was  a  lead- 
ing advocate  of  free  public  educa- 
tion, but  repeatedly  expressed  his 
belief  in  the  inequality  of  intellec- 
tual capacities  and  attainments. 
"Both  the  amount  and  the  kind 
of  I  the  individual's)  education," 
concluded  Wright,  "should  de- 
pend upon  his  capacity  and  pur- 
pose, because  therein  lies  the 
relevance  of  his  philosophy  for  the 
problems  of  the  years  ahead." 

sented  February  23-25. 

The  program,  called  "An  Even- 
ing of  Words  and  Music",  will  in- 
clude contemporary  American 
works  designed,  according  to  Mat- 
thews, "to  appeal  to  all  kinds  of 
tastes". 

The  Plays 

The  plays  which  have  been  chos- 
en aie:  "The  Wonder  Hat",  by  Ben 
Hecht  and  Kenneth  Goodman, 
which  is  a  farce  based  on  the  Har- 
lequin-Pierrot-Columbine theme; 
a  tragedy  by  Tennessee  Williams 
called  "Portrait  of  a  Madonna"; 
George  M.  Cohan's  "The  Farrell 
Case" — which  Matthews  classifies 
as  "out  and  out  slapstick";  and 
"The  Telephone",  a  short  comic 
opera  by  Gian  Carlo  Menotti.

Wyckofi  Announces  Commencement 
Of   Visits  by  Personnel  Directors 


Is  Self  -  Government  Possible? 


Thursday,  Feb.  9  -  Mr.  William 
Wyckoff,  Dliector  of  the  Place- 
ment Bureau,  ha.s  announced  that 
startinf!  Monday,  two  or  three 
company  personnel  directors  from 
many  organizations  will  be  on 
campus  each  week  for  the  purpose 
of  looking  over  seniors  with  an 
eye  to  employment.  These  visit.s 
by  the  directors  will  continue  until 
the  start  of  spring  vacation. 

Many  representatives  of  indu.s- 
try,  banks,  Insuiance  companies 
and  other  such  organizations  have 
alieady  signed  up  and  the  re- 
maining openings  are  fast  benii,' 
filled.  The  New  York  Trust  Com- 
pany, Vick  Chemical  Company, 
and  Waner-Lambert  Pharmaceu- 
tical Company  are  among  some  of 
the  companies  that  will  send  di- 
rectors the  I'emalnder  of  the  week, 
and  these  are  representative  of  the 
organizations  that  will  visit  Wil- 
liams within  the  ensuing  month 
and  a  half. 

Draft  Statu.s 

The  majority  of  the  groups  will 
Interview  all  comers,  disregarding 
military  status,  although  a  few 
prefer  those  men  who  are  draft 
exempt.  The  bureau  Itself  will  no- 
tify the  seniors  concerning  those 
positions  for  which  only  draft  ex- 
empt candidates  qualify.  The  fol- 
lowing quote  states  the  case  for 
many  recruiting  companies.  "The 
position  of . .  .  cour)  . . ,  company 
is  that  selection  will  be  made 
without  regard  to  draft  or  reserve 
status.  We  have  confidence  that 
even  brief  experience  with  oui'  or- 
ganization will  engender  an  en- 
thusiasm for  . .  .  louri  .  . .  company 
which  will  brine  the  trainee  back 
to  us  after  an  Interval  of  military 
service," 

Some  groups  offer  opportunities 
for  underclassmen  who  wish  to 
secure  positions  for  summer  em- 
ployment. There  is  one  stipulation 
attached  to  this  however,  that  be- 
ing that  the  applicant  must  ex- 
press a  desire  to  work  In  his  posi- 
tion over  an  extended  number  of 
years, 

"Job-Getting  Techniques" 

In  view  of  this  approximity  of 
the  inteiviews  Mr.  Wyckoff  gave 
a  talk  tonight  on  the  subject  "Job- 
Qetting  Techniques"  to  an  audi- 
ence composed  mostly  of  seniors.

IStii    Century    Artist 

Albrecht  Durer's  Work 
Receives  World  Praise 


Wednesday,  Feb.  15  -  The  exhi- 
bit currently  showing  in  the  Law- 
rence Art  Museum  is  entitled  "The 
World  of  Albrecht  Durer".  In  the 
show  are  a  series  of  around  40 
woodcuts  and  engravings  by  this 
famous  German  artist.  In  the 
words  of  the  head  of  the  Art  de- 
partment, Professor  Faison,  "Tliese 
prints  represent  some  of  the  best 
examples  of  Albrecht  Durer's 
work". 

The  Lawrence  Gallery  is  rent- 
ing the  exhibit  from  the  American 
Federation  of  Arts,  a  national 
foundation  whose  purpose  is  to 
circulate  shows  for  the  museums. 
These  Albrecht  Durer  prints  are 
owned  by  the  National  Gallery  in 
Washington,  and  by  the  Ro.sen- 
wald  Foundation. 

Durer  worked  around  the  turn 
of  the  fifteenth  century.  The 
prints  of  this  exhibition,  all  ori- 
ginals, were  created  in  Nuremburg. 
Through  the  years,  critics  have 
rated  Durer  one  of  the  great  geni- 
uses in  the  world  of  art.  His  influ- 
ence has  been  compared  with  such 
other  greats  as  Michaelangelo  or 
Leonardo  da  Vinci. 


Ill  IIk'  Sprinj^  ol  1954,  the  students  passed  a  new  constitution 
desij^ned  to  "toster  a  spirit  ol  miily  and  cooperation  ainoiii;  tlie 
students  ol  the  coljejje'  aiid  "to  de\<'lop  ainoiif^  the  students  a 
sense  ol  nersouai  responsibility  lor  their  conduct  and  the  wellarc 
of  the  collej^e. '  It  is  rather  ol)\'ious  to  any  oi)ser\'er  that  tlie  prin- 
ciple purpose  ol  the  louuders  is  not  beinf^  lullillcd.  Hut  the  fact 
still  reinaius  that  the  Wjllianis  student  has  a  remarkable  oppor- 
tunity to  make  self-i^overiunent  more  of  a  reality  thaii  it  has  been. 

(.'outrarv  to  popular  opinion,  the  CJollej^e  Council  is  luil  just 
a  forum  ol  opinion.  Halher  it  is  accoimtablc  to  the  students.  It  can 
act  for  all  students  and  can  speak  in  the  luime  of  the  whole  student 
body.  Such  a  coherent  i;overniui^  coimcil  can  coimnand  more  re- 
spect and  importance  in  the  eyes  of  the  administration,  the  faculty, 
tlie  aliiiuiii  and  the  students  theuiselyes.  lloweyer,  in  order  to 
work,  the  (.'olli'He  Council  i/iii.v/  commaiid  such  res|)ect  from  all 
these  elemeiits.  Delectioii  by  any  one  ol  these  f^roups  can  mean 
liustratlon  lor  the  objectixes  ol  tlie  fioycrnmeiit.  lias  anyone  ever 
slopped  to  calculate  the  barf^ainiiif^  power  of  a  unified  student 
body? 

Hespect  cannot  he  e.xpectetl  when  class  officers  and  repre- 
seutatiM's  to  the  Collei^e  Council  aic  elected  by  a  miuorit\'  ol  the 
student  body.  .\t  the  same  time  the  (puility  of  the  elected  must 
also  recei\'e  uioie  consideration.  Our  leaders  must  haye  the  de- 
yotioii  to  the  eolleije  aiid  Ihi'  lime  lU'crsdn/  to  enable  th<'  (.'ollep' 
Coimcil  to  rise  to  the  h<'inhts  it  is  capable  of  attaiiiiiii;.  It  is  not 
too  unreasonable  to  expect  tlu'  Williams  mail  to  elect  responsible 
and  capabh'  representatix cs  with  an  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the 
entire  collej^e. 

The  apathy  which  has  become  an  integral  part  of  the  fabled 
casualiiess  of  the  Williams  man  must  be  replaced  by  a  concern

Ephs  Ready  to  Return  to  Reality;

Williams  Winter  Carnival  is  his- 
tory now.  but  Ephs  the  campus 
over  may  rest  easy  with  the  know- 
ledge that  Omar  Khayyam,  gazing 
down  from  his  Bacchanalian  Val-

satisfied  and  ready  to  attack  the

Shainman  Sneaks 
On  Mozart's  Life 
In  Faculty  Series 

Lecturer  Stresses  Year 
Of  Composer's  Death; 
Cites  Prolific  Worlts 


Thursday,  Feb.  9  -  Professor 
Irwin  Shainman  gave  the  second 
in  a  series  of  faculty  lectures  to- 
day in  the  Thompson  Biology  Lab- 
oratory. His  subject  was  "Tire  Last 
Year  of  Mozart". 

Stressing  Mozart  as  an  artist 
and  an  individual,  Shainman  re- 
lated the  chronology  of  the  musi- 
cian's life  in  1791.  Although  he 
died  at  35,  this  composer  was  a 
musical  genius  at  the  age  of  six 
and  in  his  twenty-nine  year  ca- 
reer he  wrote  over  six  hundred 
works.  Sensing  his  appi'oaching 
death.  Mozart  strained  to  utilize 
his  abilities  to  the  utmost  during 
his  last  months.  Fi'om  January  to 
November,  despite  a  serious  ill- 
ness, he  wrote  two  operas;  "The 
Magic  Fl.ite"  and  "The  Clemency 
of  Titus"  as  well  as  a  Requiem 
Mass. 

Mozart  Considered  a  Failure 

Although  the  composer  himself 
received  very  little  recognition  or 
monetary  return  for  his  efforts, 
his  last  days  were  brightened  to  a 
certain  extent  by  the  comparative 
popular  acclaim  for  the  last  of 
his  operas.  On  December  5th.  his 
condition  greatly  weakened  by  ex- 
cessive work,  he  died.  To  this  day. 
the  whereabouts  of  his  grave  is  un- 
known although  his  works  remain 
as  a  monument  to  him. 

Professor  Shainman  further  ex- 
plained the  reasons  why  Mozart 
was  considered  a  failure  in  his 
own  time  and  for  many  years  to 
come.  First,  the  man  himself,  be- 
cause of  his  brilliance  and  long 
career,  became  more  arrogant  and 
conceited  as  years  passed.  He  had 
no  real  friends  and  could  not  ad- 
Just  himself  to  the  patronage  sys- 
tem. The  audiences  of  his  time 
were  extiemely  fickle  and  often 
abusive  and  most  of  Mozart's 
works  were  never  fully  understood 
or  appreciated. 

Shainman  answered  a  long-con- 
troversial question:  How  much 
could  Mozart  have  improved  if  he 
had  lived  longer?  The  lecturer  sug- 
gested that  as  an  artist,  Mozart 
certainly  had  achieved  matuiity, 
the  greatest  proof  of  this  fact  ly- 
ing in  the  genius  of  his  prolific 
compositions.  Shainman  ended  his 
lecture  by  reminding  the  audience 
that  the  works  of  Mozart,  on  this 
the  200th  anniversary  of  his  birth- 
day, are  more  popular  than  ever 
before.

Meetingrs  Planned 

Several  important  meetings  will

pel will  be  led  by  the  Rev.  A.  Gra- 
ham Baldwin  '25. 


upon  the  abilities  of  the  candi- 
dates to  serve  on  the  CC  rather 
than  upon  mere  popularity. 

In  an  editorial,  THE  RECORD 
also  called  for  careful  considera- 
tion of  the  candidates  up  for  of- 
fice stating  that  strong  self-gov- 
ernment at  Williams  is  a  possi- 
bility. 

The  Candidates 

There  was  certainly  no  apathy 
during  the  nomination  period.  For- 
ty-five petitions  from  all  four 
classes  were  turned  into  the  Elec- 
tions Committee  last  Monday  ev- 
ening. Each  nominating  petition 
was  signed  by  forty  or  more  :~tu- 
dents.  No  student  was  allowed  to 
sign  more  than  three  petitions. 

The  high  number  of  petitions 
came  from  the  sophomore  class 
witli  fourteen  nominations  for 
four  positions.  The  Juniors  were 
next  with  twelve  candidates  lor 
five  offices.  The  freshman  class 
followed,  nominating  eleven  men 
for  the  three  positions  open.  Last 
were  the  seniors  who  handed  in 
eight  nominating  petitions  for  the 
two  open  offices. 

The  election  results  will  be  tab- 
ulated on  Thursday  evening  and 
will  be  announced  in  Saturday's 
RECORD.  The  newly  elected 
Council  will  hold  its  first  meeting 
next  Monday  evening.  As  usual 
all  students  not  on  the  CC  are 
welcome  to  attend,  ask  questions, 
and  make  any  suggestions  which 
they  have  on  their  minds. 


Buchanan  Speaks 
Of  Basic  Mid-east 
Misunderstanding 

Lecturer  Describes  East 
As  Primarily  Nomadic; 
Calls  West  Invaders 


Wednesday,  Feb.  15  -  Before  p, 
small  crowd  present  at  the  third 
meeting  of  the  International  Re- 
lations Club,  Writer  and  Educator 
Scott  Buchanan  spoke  last  Tues- 
day on  "War  and  Peace  in  the 
Middle  East". 

Refusing  to  discuss  the  practi- 
cal political  and  economic  ele- 
ments of  the  current  Middle  Ease 
crisis,  he  traced  some  cultural 
and  political  threads  which  have 
led  to  misunderstandings  between 
this  area  and  Western  nations. 
Westernization  and  Algebra 

Mr.  Buchanan  emphasized  that 
by  Introducing  industrial  and  mili- 
tary techniques  into  the  nomadic 
Islamic  civilization,  the  West  has 
created  dangerous  problems  In  the 
Middle  East.  The  danger,  however, 
is  mutual:  for  the  Arabs  have 
given  us  algebra — something  in- 
congruous with  Western  thought. 

Consequently,  proposed  Mr.  Bu- 
chanan. Western  culture  (since 
Descartes)  has  been  algebraic.  De- 
fining algebra  as  "the  reunion  of 
fiagments".  he  showed  that  mani- 
pulation of  symbols  is  present  ev- 
erywhere, and  is  the  cause  of  the 
frustration  of  twentieth  century 
searches  for  truth.  "We  took  this 
mathematical  system  from  the 
Arabs  as  a  superficial  trick,"  he 
said,  "without  understanding  Its 
true  nature".

Schuman  Replies 


To  tlie  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

Fiiciiltv  nit'inbers  "on  sal)batical"  are  not  iiero.  Tlu'v  relax,  as 
is  well  known,  in  Bennncla,  tanning  in  the  siui,  or  in  Moscow,  get- 
ting new  instrnctions  from  Stalin's  ghost.  My  astral  alter  <'^o,  liow- 
ever,  has  espied  in  vonr  estimable  jomnal  a  masterly  letter  Irom 
a  distinguished  alumnns.  followed  by  many  colunnis  of  other  let- 
ters antl  comments.  Too  much  is  enough.  Vet  I  feel  in  duty  boimd 
to  add  my  bit,  lest  the  haystack  be  lost  among  the  needles. 

Our  alumnus,  who  merits  oiu'  sympathy  in  his  hard  task  of 
rationalizing  his  refusal  to  contribute  to  his  dlma  inatcr,  is  a  suc- 
cessful publisher  of  the  type  once  described  as  sallow,  jaundiced, 
or  oclierous.  His  letter,  like  his  journalism,  exemplifies  the  cardinal 
principle  of  this  perycrted  but  popular  and  profitable  form  of  "re- 
porting." The  principle  is  well  put  in  the  current  issue  of  "The  .\p- 
jieal  to  Reason",  written  by  my  good  friend,  liawrence  Dennis:  "\ 
think-piece  has  little  sales  yahie  for  the  communications  media. 
.\  smear-piece  always  has  sales  appeal.  Trying  to  point  out  error 
usiuilly  fails  to  interest  many  readers  or  listeners.  Denouncing 
guilt  nlwiiys  gets  a  big  audience." 

Oiu'  alumnus  is  something  of  a  yictini  of  "cidtmal  lag,"  since 
such  demmciatious  no  longer  command  the  audience  they  once 
did  in  the  glory-days  of  the  junior  Senator  from  Wisconsin.  Yet 
his  technique  is  still  descrying  of  analysis.  As  here  illustrated,  it 
faithfully  follows  three  familiar  precepts:  (a)  always  (|uote  sec- 
ondary soinces;  (b)  always  quote  out  of  context;  and  (c)  always 
imply  guilt  by  association  or  coincidence. 

SOVIET  POLITICS  is  readily  ayailabic  in  all  good  public 
libraries,  including  those  in  Nhmchester,  N.  H.,  Reno,  Ney.,  and 
Williams  College.  The  passage  ejuoted  out  of  context  by  "C^hristian 
Economics"  appears  on  P.  198  and  is  a  correct  statement  of  Stalin's 
treatment  of  his  0])pouents  in  the  1920's,  not  in  the  1930's.  The 
"macabre  drama"  (p.  263)  of  the  later  Great  Purge,  with  its 
"shocking  abuses  and  injustices"  (p.  264)  and  \yith  "thousands  of 
iimocents  lirnn'dated"  in  a  fashion  "wholly  obnoxious  in  ethics  and 
law"  (p.  268),  is  fully  described  on  ])p.  2.56-269  of  the  same  book. 

As  for  "typical  sponsors  of  Commimist-front  organizations, " 
our  alumiuis  relies  on  "U.  S.  News  and  VVorkl  Report",  paraphras- 
ing the  fantastic  "Handbook  for  Americans"  issued  by  a  suhcom- 
mitt'.'c  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  the  Judiciary.  In  this  scurrilous 
document  many  reputable  organizations  and  many  of  the  leading 
writers  and  educators  of  America  are  smeared,  with  no  notice,  no 
hearing,  no  semblance  of  due  process  or  inyestigation  of  the  facts, 
and  no  authority  from  the  Senate  or  anyone  else  to  isue  a  libel  — 
all  in  the  best  tradition  of  a  now  discredited  McCarthyism. 

In  the  lexicon  of  Senator  Eastland,  and  of  our  alumnus,  a 
"Commiuiist-front  organization "  is  any  organization  of  whose  pur- 
pose one  disapproycs.  Under  the  laws  of  the  United  States,  a  Com- 
mmiist-front  organization  is  one  found  to  be  such,  after  fair  and 
careful  in(|uiry,  by  the  Subyersivc  Activities  Control  Board,  with 
tinal  determination  of  guilt  vested  in  the  federal  courts.  No  mem- 
ber of  the  Williams  faculty  lies  ever  knowingly  belonged  to,  or 
supported  any  such  organization. 

"Truth  never  goes  out  of  fashion  and  is  presumably  the  first 
goal  of  education."  In  this  our  alumnus  is  utterly  right.  Tlie  rest 
of  his  letter  suggests,  alas,  that  his  Williams  education  was  wasted. 
May  he  vet  see  the  light,  as  it  is  seen  by  the  writer  of  "Refutation 
and  Rejily"  and  of  the  Editorial  of  February  8  —  to  whom  I  luim- 
bly  tender  thanks  for  seeing  through  a  shameless  fakery  and  tor 
imderstanding  that  the  searcli  for  truth,  however  difficult,  rec|uires 
always  a  passion  for  factual  accuracy  and  for  honesty  of  purpose. 

Yours  sincerely, 
Frederick  L.  Schuman

To  the  Editor  of  the  HECORO: 

Certainly  Sigma  Phi  deserves  tlu'  warmest  support  ol  all  Wil- 
liams men  in  its  pledging  of  two  Negroes  in  deliauee  ol  its  nation- 
al organization.  No  ethically  sensitixc  person  can  any  longer  toler- 
ate such  \iolations  of  human  brotlu'rhood.  .And  yet.  1  can  not  but 
feel  there  is  an  element  of  hypoeraev  in  the  situation  at  Williams 
that  should  be  exposed  and  tienoimeed.  Tin'  Trustees  h;i\t'  said 
that  no  fiateruitv  with  discriminatory  policies  will  Ix'  allowed  to 
operate  al  Williams,  and  apparently  no  fiaternily  eonstitnlidu  has 
such  clauses,  but  discrimination  can  be  just  ;is  deadU'  when  enlore 
eil  by  a  resolution  of  the  national  eonvcntion  ol  the  Iraternity.  a.s 
h;is  been  shown  in  the  ease  of  Sigma  Phi.  I  know  ol  at  least  one 
other  fraternit\-  al  \''illiams  which  has  such  :i  standing  resolution, 
and  only  a  few  years  ago  the  1).  U.  chapter  al  Wesleyan  was  e\- 
lielled  for  pledging  a  Negro.  .\re  we  not  proclaiming  our  \irtue 
while  at  the  same  time  (juielly  |)raetieing  the  \  iie  ol  disirinina- 
tion?  Let  the  fraternities  be  sincere  and  frankly  repudiate  such 
resonltions.  1  can  only  hope  that  Sigma  Phi  will  remain  lirm  in 
their  resolution  and  not  later  r('\erse  it  .  .  .

If  we  examine  the  rides  of  conduct  by  which  a  Williams  stud- 
ent is  to  abide,  we  will  find  very  few  specific  "Yon  nmst  not  do 
this"  type  of  rules.  Rather  the  one  great  eommandmeut  by  which 
we  are  to  conduct  onrselyes  is  that  a  Williams  Man  nmst  behayit 
as  a  gentleman  at  all  times. 

Willi  this  premise  in  mind,  now  let  us  look  back  to  the  Spring- 
field Basketball  game  ol  last  Wednesday.  Springtiekl  phiyed  a  bet- 
ter game  than  \Villiains.  The  proof  of  this  is  obvious  from  the  raft 
of  basketball  statistics  which  were  kept  during  tlu'  game.  Spring- 
field also  plaxcd  a  "clean"  game  and  on  the  whole  displayed  good 
sportsmanship.  This  last  statement  also  applies  to  the  Williams 
team.  Yet,  what  kind  ol  sportsmanship  did  we,  the  Williams  Root- 
ers, show  to  our  opponents?  Oin-  attitude  was  completi'ly  negatixc. 
The  number  ol  cheers  we  gave  oiu'  team  eonid  be  counted  on  ones 
fingers,  but  we  would  need  an  I.  B.  M.  computer  to  keep  accomit 
of  the  number  of  cat  calls  we  ga\e  flu-  Springfield  players,  the 
number  ol  times  we  hissed  while  the  opponents  shot  fouls,  and  the 
munber  ol  side  line  exijerts  who  shook  lists  and  made  cheap  in- 
sulting remarks  as  to  the  integrity  and  ability  ol  two  recognized 
basketball  officials.  It  was  also  interesting  to  note  that  those  most 
vehement  in  the  expression  ol  their  opinions  were  the  lirst  to  walk 
across  the  floor  to  get  out  of  the  gym  while  as  much  as  three  min- 
utes remained   in   the  game   time. 

On  the  exhibition  ol  such  behavior  can  there  be  any  doubt 
as  to  wh\'  we  can't  book  the  "good  "  teams  to  play  on  our  courts 
like  those  with  which  .\mherst  plays?  Is  there  any  doid)t  as  to  why 
WilliaEiis  finds  it  so  dillieult  to  get  basketball  officials?  Is  there  an\' 
doubt  as  to  how  the  'Williams  (K'utlemen  "  will  be  thought  of  in  the 
eyes  of  players  and  coaches  ol   our  opponents   in  the  Intm'e?

FAMOUS  LAW  (ASKS:  NO.  1  — GIIANSMIKE 
vs.  MIDDLE  ATLANTIC  BUS  AND  DRAY  CO. 

Gransmirc,  the  plaintifT  in  thi.s  oeldiraled  cise,  lived  witli  hi,s 
daughter  Ernest  and  a  tanarv  named  Wliirlaway  on  Kim  Street 
ill  Cooch,  Delaware.  The  Middle  Atlantic  Bus  and  Dra.v  Co. 
.started  operating  a  Inis  line  on  Klni  SIreei.  The  passing  hiiscs 
caused  a  cut-glass  chandelier  in  the  (Jnmsmires'  living  nium 
to  begin  tinkling.  The  chandelier  tinkled  in  the  kc.v  of  K-llat. 
This  so  unnerved  the  canary,  Whirlaway,  whose  key  was  C- 
sharp,  that  the  poor  bird  moulted  out  of  .season,  caught  a  chill, 
and  died  untimely. 

Ernest,  Gransmire'a  daughter,  was  herself  .so  unsettled  by 
the  death  of  the  canary  that  she  llunked  her  final  exams  at  the 
lioar's  Head  Beauty  and  Barber  College,  where  she  had  been  a 
promising  student,  nia.joring  in  Ijangs.  .Now  removed,  willy- 
nilly,  from  the  skilled  labor  ni.-u-ket,  Ernest  found  work  carry- 
ing  u  sandwich  sign   for   the  old    \'ienna   t^how   Mein   parlor. 


.iSf%«'4:**» 


Here  she  met  u  bus-boy  named  Crunch  Sigafoos.  Although 
Crunch  was  not  especially  attractive  -  he  had,  for  one  thing,  a 
large  bushy  tail  he  wai*  alway.s  clean  and  neat  and  kept  his 
shoes  shined,  and  after  a  decent  interval,  he  and  Erne.st  were 
married. 

Ernest  .soon  learned  that  Crunch's  large  bushy  tai'  was  not 
as  anomalous  as  .she  had  supposed:  Crunch  was  a  we'-ewolf. 
After  a  while  Ernest  got  sick  of  slaying  home  al  night  while 
her  husbiind  went  prowling  alioul,  so  she  asked  him  to  chang" 
her  into  a  werewolf  too,  which  he  did  with  an  ancient  Transyl- 
vanian  incantali(m.  Then,  together,  the  two  of  them  would 
lope  out  each  night  and  meet  a  lot  of  other  werewolves  and 
maybe  kill  a  few  chickens  or  hear  some  book  reports  or  just 
lay  around  and  shoot  the  l)reeze. 

Meanwhile,  Ernest  and  (brunch's  lamllady,  a  miser  named 
Mrs.  Augenblick,  noticed  that  FIrnest  and  Crunch  never  used 
their  room  at  night,  so  she,  in  her  greed,  started  renting  it  to 
transients.  One  night  a  Mr.  Ffolliett  stayed  there.  In  the  morn- 
ing while  brushing  his  hair,  he  took  a  bottle  that  looked  like 
hair  tonic  out  of  the  cabinet,  jioured  some,  and  rubbed  it 
vigorously  into  his  scalp.  Unfortunately,  it  was  not  hair  tonic, 
but  a  bottle  of  glue  which  Ernest  had  bought  to  mend  a  model 
airplane  that  Crunch  had  given  her  for  their  paper  wedding 
anniversary. 

As  a  result  of  Mr.  I-^folliett'a  grisly  error,  he  was  unable 
to  remove  his  hat  and  was,  therefore,  barred  from  his  usual 
occupation  which  was  lecturing  to  women's  clubs.  He  sued  Mrs. 
Augenblick,  who  sue<l  Ernest,  who  went  to  her  father,  who  sued 
the  Middle  Atlantic  Bus  and  Dray  Co.  who  had  started  the  whole 
horrid  chain  of  events. 

"Ladies  and  gentlemen,"  said  the  defense  attorney  in  hia 
opening  address,  "this  ca.se,  though  very  ramified,  is  covered 
by  law.  Indeed,  every  facet  of  life  is  covered  by  law.  Law 
governs  the  homes  .you  live  in,  the  cars  you  drive,  the  food  you 
eat.  Even  the  cigarette  you  smoke  is  strictly  regulated  in  its  pur- 
ity and  uniformity.  The  gentleness,  however,  is  Philip  Morris's 
own  ilea.  Out  of  their  vast  experience  as  tobacco  people,  out 
of  their  profound  regard  for  the  astuteness  of  your  palate, 
the  makers  of  Philip  Morris  have  evolved  a  gentle,  new  cigarette, 
with  a  taste  as  mild  as  a  May  morn,  as  subtle  as  gossamer,  as 
welcome  as  money  from  home.  I  thank  you." 

Whereupon  everybody  rushed  to  the  tobacco  counter  to  buy 
bright  red,  white  and  gold  packs  of  Philip  Morris  and  were  all 
rendered  so  amiable  after  a  few  gentle  puffs  that  the  whole 
complicated  case  was  dropjicd.  This  later  became  known  as  the 
Delaware  Water  Gap.  cmh  siinim.i..  use

the  score  remained  tied,  but  the 
rough  game  was  not  without  its

ties, the  appearance  of  the  Am-

puted goal,  and  constant  heckling 
from  the  bla.sed  crowd  highlighted 
the  colorful  game. 

With  the  Williams  team  pressing

Williams  Upsets  Yale  In  Squash; 
Jones'  Win  Clinches  5-4  Triumph 

/)(/  Karl  llirsluiuiii 

Friday,  Feb.  10  -  The  Williams  College  s(|nash  team  turned 
in  one  of  its  biggest  upsets  in  recent  \ears  bv  defeating  a  highly 
touted  Vale  squad  in  a  Frank  Merriwell  .5-4  finish.  The  Lasell 
S(|nash  Courts  were  the  scene  of  action  for  the  Ifonseijartv  crowd 
of  several  hundred  who  also  watched  the  Yale  freshmen  rout  an 
unseasoned  Williams  frosh  team  in  a  convincing  9-0  fashion. 

The  Eph  varsity,  after  drop]iing  a  heartbreaker  to  Army,  and 
losing  to  both  Princeton  and  Naxy,  Hiiallv  caini'  through  in  the 
form  which  C^oach  (JIarence  C^haffee  has  lioijcd  thev  would.  The 
Williams  team  plaved  with  a  spirit  and  determination  which  was 
felt  in  the  gallery  in  e\ery  match.  It  was  a  diflicult  task  for  the 
Vale  ]ilayers  to  contend  with  seeming  winners  which  were  returned 
for  placements,  and  this  is  exactly  what  was  ha]5peuing  through- 
out the  afternoon. 

Jones'  Wiu  Decisive 

The  odd  numbered  matches  were  plaved  fir.st.  and  the  Eph- 
mcn  pulled  out  to  a  (|uick  4-1  ad\antage  bv  winning  the  first,  third, 
fifth  and  seventh  matches  while  only  dropping  the  uninber  nine 
contest.  Here,  Vale  made  a  stand  in  the  eyeii  matches,  and  it  aji- 
peared  for  a  time  as  if  they  would  win  all  four  to  insure  an  Eli 
victory.  Tom  [ones,  playing  in  the  number  two  match,  finally  se- 
cured a  Williams  triumph  after  being  down  two  games  to  none, 
bv  winning  the  next  three  in  .spectacular  fashion. 

Jones'  Vale  opponent.  Eric  Nleyer,  junii^ed  off  to  an  earh'  lead 
as  he  kept  his  shots  dcei)  in  the  corners  and  effectively  kept  con- 
trol of  the  T.  The  Ejili  player  was  kept  off  balance  and  forced  into 
numerous  errors  bv  the  severity  and  decciitivenes  of  Meyer's 
game,  .\fter  losing  1.5-(S  and  18-15,  (ones  seemed  to  regain  bis 
touch  and  played  brilliantly  to  win  the  next  game.  1.5-1. 
Stafford  Scores 

After  the  intermission,  the  ])ressure  was  kejjt  con.stautlv  on 
Meyer,  and  he  lost  the  fourth  game.  1.5-7.  to  s(|uare  the  match  at 
two-all.  In  the  fifth  and  d<'ciding  game.  |oiies  made  some  of  the 
most  .spectacular  and  thrilling  gets  of  the  afternoon  as  the  match 
seesawed  back  and  forth  until  14  all.  Here  a  match  of  one  point 
was  called  and  the  Williams  racquet  man  won  to  clinch  a  team 
victory. 

Ollic  Stafford  |ilayed  the  first  match  for  Williams,  and  reg- 
i.stered  a  key  upset  as  he  \an(]uished  Yale's  ace  Zimmerman  bv  a 
1.5-13.  15-13.  9-15.  15-5  score.  Stafford's  delicate  shots  and  great 
depth  proved  the  undoing  of  Zimmerman  who  tried  ineffectively 
to  counter  with  the  same  wea))ons.  Scott  Wood  also  woii  an  ini- 
pre.ssive  victory  at  number  3.  15-S.  15-1.  11-15.  11-15.  1.5-12.' 

The  other  Williams  winners  were  Rogers  Southall  who  won 
in  five  games  and  Tom  Shnlman  who  scoretl  in  three.  Sam  Eells, 
John  Barton,  Dick  Ennis,  and  Bill  Weaver  made  up  the  rest  of  the 
Eph  squad.

er was  Bill  Smith,  a  Dartmouth 
sophomore  from  Pittsfield,  who 
finished  no  lower  than  fourth  in 
all  events  except  the  jump,  where 
he  was  Uth,  and  thus  won  the

victors  were  Pete  Kirby,  Dart- 
mouth captain,  in  the  downhill, 
and  Egil  Stlgum,  also  of  the  Big

mouth squad  piled  up  its  winning 
edge  in  yesterday's  action  as  it 
dominated  the  alpine  events.  Fol- 
lowing Kirby  in  the  downhill  were 
Stigum  and  Smith  in  second  and 
third,  while  Dave  Harwood  was 
16th.  Middlebury  had  Frank  Hurt 
In  fourth  along  with  Tom  Burns,

in  the  slalom  as  after  Stigum,  who 
hurtled  down  the  speedy  Thunder- 
bolt Trail  to  win  in  93.5.  came 
Harwood  in  second.  Smith  tied  foi

Today's  cross-country  event  over 
the  9  mile  Savoy  State  Forest 
course  was  won  by  Osgood  in 
0:54.20.  Twenty-eight  seconds  af- 
ter him  came  John  Ceely  of  Dart- 
mouth with  Pete  Labeenpera  of 
Middlebury  placing  third  and 
Smith  of  Dartmouth  coming  in 
fourth.  Pete  Elbow  finished  fifth 
for  Williams.  New  Hampshire,

strong  Coast  Guard  squad  by  the 
narrow  margin  of  one  point.  12- 
11.  The  meet  was  tied  at  the  end

a  lead  they  never  lost. 

John  Evans  opened  the  match 
for  Williams  in  the  123-lb.  class

sion to  Moorehead.  However,  Ted 
McKee  in  the  130-lb.  division  put 
the  Ephs  into  the  lead  by  pinning 
Reg  Ducote  in  the  sensational

In  dlscas.sing  the  major  ways  and

Paul  Boynton's  book  "Six  Way.s  To

that  one  could  look  for  a  job  are 
the  Fedcnil  and  commercial  agen- 
cies and  especially  the  College 
Placement  Bureau. 

Mr.  W.vckoff  also  reviewed  a 
Memorandum  that  had  been  hand- 
ed to  all  the  seniors  on  how  to  act 
during  an  interview.  He  stres.sed 
sucli  points  as  neatness,  knowledge 
of  the  company  and  courleousness. 
He  also  suggested  .some  other  read-

helpful  hints.  The  meeting  was

Wednesday,  Feb.  15  -  President 
Baxter  announced  today  that  the 
Faculty  Committee  on  Cuts  has 
withdrawn  its  earlier  recommen- 
dations for  further  study.  The 
faculty  group  will  attempt  a  re- 
draft of  their  proposals  next  week. 
Full  consideration  will  be  given 
to  the  cut  report  by  the  Gargoyle 
Society  and  the  studies  of  other 
student  committees. 

The  Gargoyle  committee  enu- 
merated three  principal  objections 
against  the  faculty  plan  when  it 
presented  its  own  report  early  in 
January.  The  first  objection  was 
against  the  plan  which  allowed 
a  student  to  go  through  an  entire 
term  before  he  was  checked.  In 
the  second  place,  Gargoyle  opposed 
as  "incongruous"  the  faculty-pro- 
posed penalty  of  an  extra  course 
imposed  on  a  student  who  dealt 
irresponsibly  with  his  cuts.  The 
thiid  protest  .said  that  "a  violation 
carries  all  the  way  through  a  stu- 
dent's college  career"  under  the 
faculty  propo.sal. 


Exhibition  In  Library 
Shows  Forger's  Art 


Saturday,  Feb.  18  -  "Fakes, 
Phonies,  and  Facsimiles,  An  Ex- 
hibition of  Books  That  Are  Not 
What  They  Seem"  is  the  subject 
of  the  exhibition  now  on  display 
in  the  Chapin  Library  of  Wil- 
liams College.  The  outstanding 
exhibit  is  an  artificial  first  edi- 
tion of  Elizabeth  Barrett 
Browning's  "Sonnets  from  the 
Portuguese",  which  was  valued 
at  $1200  before  it  was  exposed. 
Other  examples  of  the  forger's 
art  include  a  copy  of  the  Span- 
ish edition  of  a  pamphlet  by 
Columbus  announcing  the  dis- 
covery of  America,  a  portrait  of 
Shakespeare,  and  a  letter  from 
Jesus  Christ.  Some  of  these 
forgeries  were  done  with  the 
intent  to  deceive,  while  others 
are  honest  reproductions,  but 
all  of  them  have  succeeded  in 
fooling  many  people. 

Also  on  exhibition  in  the  li- 
brary are  a  group  of  early  edi- 
tions of  the  classics.  Many  of 
these  editions  were  printed  be- 
fore 1500  A.D. 


English  Department  Settles  New  Honors  Program; 
Candidates  To  Choose  Thesis  or  Senior  Seminars 


Editor's  note: 

Last  nccemher  the  Wmtaim  Col- 
lenv  Curriculum  Commiltcc  ammuuc- 
cd  that  a  new  hnmirs  jjmgrrtiii  had 
been  set  up.  desiftned  to  he  flexdjic 
and  udaptahlc  to  the  iweds  of  all 
departments.  Four  alterniilive  routes 
were  outlined  Inj  which  a  .iludcnt 
mi^ht  obtain  a  dcitree  witli  homrs, 
and  it  was  left  iij)  ("  llie  discretion 
of  the  individual  departments  as  to 
which  route  or  routes  were  be.il  suit- 
ed to  its  particular  needs. 

Since  this  announcement  (see  the 
December  7  issue  of  the  RECORD) 
the  various  departments  have  arrant:ed 
their  pronrams.  and  all  of  the  pro- 
KTam.s  have  received  faculty  appro 
val.  /n  an  effort  to  acquaint  the  stu- 
dent body  tcith  the  new  system,  the 
RECORD  will  run  a  series  of  de- 
tailed articles  describinn  how  the  new 
system  affects  honors  candidates  in 
each  couise.  In  tliLi  issue  the  English 
department  will  be  discussed. 

According  to  Professor  Robert 
Allen,  during  the  past  two  years 
the  English  Department  has,  in  a 
sense,  anticipated  the  new  honors 
program.  Rather  than  having  the 
honors  candidate  spend  two  years 
writing  a  thesis,  he  has  been  re- 
quired to  attend  two  seminars  In 
his  Junior  year,  and  then  devote 
his  entire  Senior  year  to  the  pre- 
paration of  a  thesis  on  a  specific 
topic.  Under  the  new  system,  how- 
ever, candidates  for  English  hon- 
ors have  two  choices  open  to  them; 
they  may  follow  the  previous  de- 


partmental program,  or  they  may 
participate  in  two  more  honors 
seminars  in  their  Senior  year,  ra- 
ther than  writing  a  thesis. 

Beginning  next  fall,  candidates 
for  English  honors  in  the  Class  of 
1958  will  be  enrolled  in  English 
SlOl  (the  "S"  stands  for  "seminar 
course").  This  course  is  an  "in- 
troduction to  various  approaches 
to  the  study  of  literature"  and  will 
be  "required  of  and  limited  to 
candidates  for  honors  in  English". 
The  prerequisite  for  this  course  is 
English  3-4.  Normally,  the  regular 
5-6  sequence  course  will  also  be 
taken  in  the  Junior  year. 
Two  Choices  for  Second  Semester 

The  honors  student  in  the  Class 
of  '58  has  his  choice  of  two  hon- 
ors .seminars  in  the  second  se- 
mester. He  may  elect  English  S104, 
which  delves  deeply  into  English 
Comedy,  or  he  may  choose  English 
sue.  The  latter  is  entitled  "Mas- 
ters of  Prose  Fiction"  and  Is  a 
study  of  romance,  realism,  and  sa- 
tire before  1740.  These  seminars 
will  not  be  offered  in  the  1957- 
1958  school  year,  but  three  other 
honors  seminars  will  be  given  in- 
stead. 

Having  completed  the  required 
two  semesters  of  seminars,  the 
honors  candidate  may  choose  his 
course  of  action  for  the  Senior 
year.  Those  who  wish  to  continue 
honors  study  by  the  seminar  me- 
thod may  enroll  for  two  more  hon- 


ors seminars.  This  program  is  de- 
signed for  the  student  who  wishes 
to  broaden  his  literary  backgroimd 
rather  than  doing  specialized.work. 
Senior  Year  Alternatives 

There  are  three  different  semi- 
nars to  choose  from  in  each  se- 
mester of  the  senior  year.  Stu- 
dents who  follow  this  pattei'n  must 
take  a  special  honors  examination 
at  the  end  of  the  year.  The  exam 
will  cover  not  only  the  material  in 
all  of  the  regular  sequence  courses, 
of  the  major,  but  material  from 
the  four  honors  seminars  as  well. 
Total  writing  time  will  be  seven 
hours,  divided  into  convenient  por- 
tions. 

Seniors  who  wish  to  specialize 
may  follow  the  existing  depart- 
mental program,  that  of  taking 
English  103-104,  in  which  a  thesis 
is  written  under  the  guidance  of 
a  member  ol  the  department.  Hon- 
ors candidates  should,  if  possible, 
elect  in  the  second  semester  of  the 
Junior  year  a  seminar  dealing  with 
the  subject  on  which  they  wish  to 
write  a  thesis.  The  honors  thesis 
replaces  part  of  the  final  honors 
examination,  so  that  total  writing 
time  is  only  four  hours.  It  should 
be  remembered  that  which  ever 
plan  the  honors  candidate  selects, 
he  must  take  English  19-20  in  his 
senior  year.

Alpha  Delt;  Betes,  KA,  Phi  Gam,  Psi  U; 
Theta  Delt,  Zetes  Choose  1956  Officers 

Friday,  Feb.  17  -  After  annoinicements  of  election  results 
from  four  fraternities  late  last  night,  a  total  of  seven  houses  had 
determined  their  1956  slates  last  week. 

These  were:  ,\lpha  Delta  Phi,  Beta  Theta  Pi,  Kappa  Alpha, 
Phi  Gamma  Delta.  Psi  Upsilon,  Theta  Delta  Chi,  and  Zeta  Psi. 

Alplm  Delta  Phi 
Football  and  baseball  player  Dick  Fearon,  '57,  was  chosen 
piesident  of  AD.  Currently  vice  president  of  the  JA's,  Fearon 
has  been  on  the  collej^e  coimcil  for  three  years.  The  .\lpha  Delts 
elected  Bob  Leinbach,  '57,  vice  president,  and  Frank  Dengel,  '57, 
and  Charlie  Gilchrist  '58,  Secretaries. 


Thursday,  Feb.  16  -  In  an  elec- 
tion attended  by  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  Williams  student  body 
fourteen  men  were  chosen  to  fill 
positions  on  the  1956-57  College 
Council.  They  were  Tom  Yankus 
and  Phil  Palmedo,  both  seniors; 
and  Dick  Repp,  Frank  Dengel, 
Dick  Fearon,  Bill  Scoble  and  Dee 
Gardner  from  the  junior  class. 
The  sophomores  elected  Larry 
Nilsen,  Jack  Love,  Whitey  Kauf- 
man, and  Ted  Wynn,  while  the 
freshmen  gave  majority  votes  to 
Bruce  Listerman,  Dick  Jackson, 
and  Hank  Foltz.  Of  the  incum- 
bents, all  but  three  have  served 
on  the  Council  before. 

The  most  significant  fact  of  the 
election  was  the  increase  in  the 
electorate.  Three-fourths  of  the 
student  body  tui'ned  up  at  the 
Student  Union  polls.  Only  fifty 
per  cent  voted  last  year.  The  fresh- 
men pulled  the  most  unprecedent- 
ed surprise.  With  the  aid  of  an 
absentee  ballot  from  the  infirmary 
the  class  gained  the  magic  goal 
of  100  per  cent  voting.  The  jim- 
iors  and  seniors  proved  apathetic 
with  sixty-six  arrt  fifty-two  per 
cent  votes  respectively. 
■Voting  Close 

The  top  three  freshmen  won 
with  substantial  pluralities.  The 
sophomore  candidates  came 
through  on  slimmer  margins  in  the 
last  two  offices.  The  same  was  the 
case  in  the  junior  class.  In  the 
senior  balloting,  the  winners  were 
fairly  well  ahead  of  the  field. 

Senior  president  Yankus  won 
that  office  for  the  fourth  time 
in  his  college  career.  A  DU,  he  is 
a  member  of  Gargoyle,  a  former 
JA,  and  Vice-President  of  his 
house.  Palmedo,  elected  Secretary- 
Treasurer,  is  a  member  ol  St. 
Anthony  Hall,  President  of  Gar- 
goyle, a  former  JA,  Advertising 
Manager  of  the  RECORD,  and 
is  on  the  skiing  and  soccer  teams. 

Repp,  re-elected  again  as  Jun- 
ior president,  is  a  Beta  Theta  Pi, 
See  Page  4,  Col.  5 


Beta   Theta   Pi 

The  Betes  chose  Dick  Repp  '57, 
pi-esident.  Repp — also  a  JA — has 
been  class  president  for  the  past 
two  years  and  plays  varsity  soc- 
cer. Dick  Oilman  '57,  was  named 
vice-president;  Don  Smith  '57, 
treasurer;  and  sophomore  Karl 
Hirshman  secretary. 

Kappa  Alpha 

The  Kap  house  announced  after 
midnight  last  night  that  former 
treasurer  Sandy  McOmber  '57,  is 
theii-  1956  president.  Active  in  the 
woe  and  a  JA,  McOniber  is  busi- 
ness manager  of  the  RECORD 
and  has  been  on  the  swimming 
team.  Chosen  vice-presidents  were 
Dick  Flood  '57,  and  Don  Becker 
'57.  Chairman  of  the  recent  Win- 
ter Carnival,  Bill  Martin  '57,  was 
elected  secretary,  and  sophomore 
Dave  Wood  '58,  treasurer. 
Phi  Gamma  Delta 

The  Phi  Gam  house  chose  Tra- 
vel Bureau  Vice-president  Jim 
Smith  '57,  president  for  this  year. 
Active  on  the  RECORD  and  in 
the  WCC,  Smith  has  played  foot- 
ball and  lacrosse.  Other  new  Phi 
Gam  officers  are:  secretaries  Bob 
Lombino  '57,  and  John  Jakubow- 
skl  '57;  treasurer  Prank  Moore  '57; 
and  historian  Tex  Vogt  '58. 
Psi  Vpsilon 

Ben  Wooding  '57,  chosen  pre- 
sident of  Psi  U,  has  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  glee  club  and  choir. 
Elected  vice-presidents  were  Jun- 
ior Adviser  Duke  McCausland  and 
tennis  and  squash  player  Bob 
Ohmes  '57.  Other  Psi  U  officers 
are  secretaries  Spence  Jones  '58,

Shawmen  Play  Host  To  Amherst 
In  Important  Little  Three  Contest 


by  Barry  Holt 

Saturday.  Feb.  18  -  Tlie  Sabrinas  of  Amherst  College  invade 
Lasell  Gymnasium  tonight  to  encounter  the  Williams  varsity  bas- 
ketball team  before  a  large  Winter  Homecoming  crowd.  This  will 
be  the  second  Little  Three  contest  for  each  school,  both  squads 
having  beaten  Wesleyan.  In  two  meetings  with  the  Sabrinas  last 
season.  Williams  won  one  and  lost  one  but  went  on  to  win  the 
Little  Three  crown  with  a  record  of  .3-1.  After  losing  to  the  Purple 
and  White  team  down  at  Amherst  last  season,  the  Ephs  set  back 
the  Sabrinas  at  home  in  one  of  the  most  exciting  games  of  the  year. 

.Amherst's  1955-1956  basketball  team  is  led  by  Captain  Doug 
Hawkins  who  is  cmrentiv  averaging  15  points  a  game.  A  tre- 
mendous rebounder-  at  his  center  position,  he  is  a  definite  threat 
to  the  Williams  offensive  attack.  Dick  Anderson  will  start  at  one 
forward  with  Sojihomore  Bill  Warren  at  the  other.  Warren  is  the 
high  scorer  for  the  visitors,  averaging  over  18  points  a  game.  At 
tlie  guard  positions  for  .\mherst  will  be  Biff  Knight  and  Phil  Has- 
tings. .'Mso  likely  to  see  a  good  deal  of  action  are  Hank  Pearsall 
and  Dick  Jenkins. 

Amherst  Has  Fitie  Defense 
Although  the  ,\mherst  team's  record  of  11  wins  against  6  de- 
feats is  not  particularly  impressive.  Coach  Rick  Wilson's  aggrega- 
tion will  be  the  shght  favorites  tonight  in  view  of  their  sensational 
99-55  victory  over  the  Cardinals  of  Wesleyan  last  Saturday  night. 
The  Sabrinas  have  played  very  tough  competition  and  for  this  rea- 
son their  record  does  not  give  a  true  picture  of  their  strength.  As 
a  squad,  the  visitors  have  held  their  opponents  to  an  average  of 
less  than  60  points  a  game  while  scoring  over  70  themselves.  Am- 
herst ranks  quite  high  nationally  among  small  colleges  in  defense. 
Their  pressure  defense  tries  to  keep  the  opposition  from  moving  the 
ball  past  mid-court.

Examination    Reprieve 

At  their  )ami;ifv  fitli  mc'ctiiijr,  tlic  Collet'  Council  iiiiani- 
nioiislv  appioNod  the  'riiicc  Dav  Ui'aclinj;  Plan  piosi'iilfd  bv  I'l'il 
Wviiii,  Spccificallv,  the  i(\sr)ltitioii  reads:  "That  the  present  e\a- 
iiiiiiatioii  period  he  extended  to  include:  1-  .\  three  dav  readiiii^ 
period  before  examinations,  2-  A  more  nsehil  semester  break  when 
exainiiiatioiis  are  ended.  For  example,  shoidd  classes  eiul  on  Sat- 
urday, exainiiiations  should  not  begin  initil  the  folluwinn  Wed- 
iicsda)'  instead  ot  the  follovvinfr  Monday  as  woidd  be  the  ease 
under  the  present  svsti'ni. 

So  far  the  only  objection  to  the  proposal  is  that  the  jilan  will 
not  encourage  the  "CJentlenien  C  '  student  to  any  new  endeaNor. 
Needless  to  say,  it  is  \cry  possil)le  that  some  Williams  men  will 
not  take  advantage  of  the  three  day  reading  |)eriod  and  will  ins- 
stead  consider  it  a  vacation  prior  to  the  one  after  exams.  llowe\i'r. 
as  valid  as  tins  arginnent  may  be,  it  hardiv  justifies  neglecting 
the  rest  of  the  student  body. 

Under  the  jiresent  system,  most  students  are  coinpelled  to 
face  their  exains  on  a  day  to  day  basis  seldom  content  with  tiie 
extent  of  their  preparation  and  therefore,  often  dissappointe;l 
with  their  residts.  Three  additional  davs  would  be  considered  a 
blessing.  Since  this  plan  has  receivetl  uiianinrons  support  from  the 
CC  and  tentative  support  from  the  Dean  and  the  Registrar,  the 
Record  is  convinced  that  the  VVynn  Proposal  heartedly  deser\'es 
the  serious  consideration  of  the  faculty,  administration  and  trus- 
tees. We,  in  fact,  are  hopeful  that  the  plan  will  go  into  effect  in 
19.36-57. 


PERSONAL  SLANT 


hi/  Tom  DcLoiifi 


The  music  room  of  the  library's  new  addition  now  imder  con- 
struction shows  promise  of  reviving  interest  in  modern  contem- 
porary music  at  Williams  College.  This  expanding  area  of  music 
has  been  neglected  and  ignored  while  the  extremes,  the  .Spring 
Street  Stonipers,  and  the  favored  classics  of  the  Music  Department, 
have  shared  the  limelight. 

.Since  19.37  when  Paul  Whitenian  donated  his  valuable  col- 
lection of  original  manu.scripts,  orchestrations,  and  recordings  to 
the  college,  proper  recognition  and  exhibition  have  not  been  ac- 
corded to  tliis  gift.  Original  recordings  of  the  Whiteman  Orches- 
tra of  the  192()'s  and  '.3()'s  have  become  a  distinct  part  of  American 
music.  Wliiteman's  techniques  and  arrangements  have  formed  a 
basis  ainong  many  distinguished  composers.  Yet  few  on  the  Wil- 
liams campus  are  aware  of  the  availability  of  the  .several  hundred 
Whiteman  records,  which  include  works  composed  bv  George 
Gershnian,  Morton  Goidd,  Ferde  CJrofe  and  Clole  Porter.  They 
haw  been  literally  buried  in  the  library  phonograph  collection. 
The  original  nianuscriiits  and  arrangements  together  with  other 
Whiteman  memorabilia  are  almost  secretively  preserved  in  a  back 
room  of  the  College  Chapel.  Because  of  a  lack  of  interest,  as  well 
as  ignorance  of  the  collection,  a  large  part  of  the  material  has  been 
out  on  loan.  The  tlhapel  basement  has  become  a  sanctuary  h)r  the 
remains  of  Eph  Williams.  Let  us  hope  that  we  ha\e  no  further 
burials,  hnnian  or  otherwise,  in  college  buildings. 

The  |)urpose  of  Wliiteman's  gift  was  to  cultivate  an  interest 
in  .\inerican  music.  This  best  can  be  achie  cd  by  a  inusie  room 
with  facilities  to  display,  study,  and  enjoy  the  Whiteman  collection 
as  well  as  all  types  of  music.  It  is  hoped  that  such  a  room  will  be 
a  stimulus  in  reviving  an  interest  in  the  field  of  music.

An  Opinion  on  Rushing 

hi)  joe  Alhrif^lil 

It  is  high  time  for  everybody  to  do  some  serious  thinking  about 
our  dirty  rusliing  problem.  Lei  us  face  facts  ■  every  year  it  gets 
worse  instead  of  bttlei.  In  19,5.5  al  least  eight  out  of  oui  15  houses 
hioke  the  rushing  code.  \V<'  are  forced  to  wonder  whether  ne.xt 
year  th<'  figinc  will  not  be  eight,  but  ten  or  12  or  excn  15.  If  the 
responsible  people  do  not  fritter  away  the  next  three  months,  there 
is  enough  time  to  find  a  good  solution  to  the  problem,  lint  the 
time  to  sweat  it  out  is  now,  not  next  October. 

Immediately  after  rushing  last  Septembei,  the  Social  (,'ouncil 
ofleri'd  a  dramatic  deal  to  the  fraternities.  Kaeh  house  was  invited 
CO  admit  they  had  dirt\-  rirshed.  If  they  conlessed  volnntarily, 
tl.ere  would  be  no  further  (|iiestions  and  the  punishment  would 
be  just  ;i  $301)  fine.  .VclualK'  this  took  all  the  sting  out  of  the  rule- 
i)( ok  punishment,  which  consists  of  social  probation  for  two 
months,  loss  of  pli-dges  and  the  fine.  l''.ight  of  the  15  houses  tinned 
Ihemselves   in. 

The  (m  Dollar  Deal 

Disiegarding  legal  and  e\en  ethical  issues,  this  $3(H)  deal  was 
cerlainly  a  step  forward.  First,  not  everyone  had  reali/.etl  that  dirty 
rushing  was  (|uite  so  wides|)read.  The  sliock  of  knowing  that  a  ma- 
jority of  the  houses  broke  the  rules  may  force  the  right  people  to 
take  action.  Second  and  probably  most  important,  it  relieved  much 
intt'r-house  suspicion  and  backbiting. 

The  .$300  deal  may  not  have  shown  enough  foresight.  It  cre- 
ates a  ticklish  situation  for  next  year.  If  the  houses  figure  that 
tliey  will  again  he  able  to  whitewash  their  illegal  actions  by  pay- 
in;'  $'^()(),  there  will  be  more  dirty  nisliing  than  ever  before.  From 
a  slrielly  financial  viewpoint,  it  is  clearly  feasible  to  kick  in  $.300 
for  a  full  pledge  class. 

I'iiic  Mcam  Liltle  To  Houses 

II  by  dirty  rushing,  the  house  .secures  just  one  more  pledge, 
this  one  pledge  will  pay  the  fini>  many  times  ()\er  in  his  three 
years  in  the  house,  .\ctnallv  one  big  weekend  can  cost  a  house 
$300  or  more.  What  is  even  more  frnstrating  is  that  in  nearly  all 
cases  the  dirty  rushing  fines  were  p;iid  by  fraternity  alumni  and 
|)arents.  Thus  the  penalty  never  touches  the  guilty  individuals. 

Well  then,  what  can  be  done  to  improve  the  system  for  the 
Class  ol  '5^)?  There  is  one  answer  brewing  in  high  circles  which 
to  us  is  one  of  the  grimmest,  most  cynical  ideas  yet  tlevi.sed.  One 
spokesman  has  expressed  it  as  follows,  "What  they  should  do  is 
remo\e  fill  rushing  rules.  Then  there  could  be  no  such  thing  as 
diri\'  rushing." 

Ostricli-Likc  Psijcholoffj? 

I'"irst  of  all,  in  practice  it  is  clearly  impossible  to  remove  "all" 
rules  about  rnsliiiig.  Or  would  you  allow  the  fraternities  to  cajole 
the  freshmen  b\'  means  of  champagne,  sirloin,  and  sex':'  Would 
yon  permit  the  1.5  houses  to  slander  each  other  freely':'  These  anil 
a  lujst  ol  other  nasty  situations  could  arise  without  any  rules  at  all. 

Supposing  that  some  of  the  rules  were  rela.xed,  would  that 
help':'  Specifically,  .some  people  are  advocating  the  legitimacy  of 
])ackage  deals  and  free  communications  about  pledging  during 
the  freshman  year.  It  seems  to  us  that  this  theory  is  all  wet.  .'\ny 
relaxation  ol  the  rules  at  this  time  would  be  wrong.  To  relax  the 
rules  is  to  admit  defeat.  .\iid  jnst  think  how  unpleasant  it  would  be. 
For  it  would  amount  to  a  rush  week  that  lasted  a  full  year  — 
hardly  a  pleasant  prospect,  either  for  the  freshmen  or  the  fraternity. 

What  Can  He  Done 

This  year  at  least  eight  houses  broke  the  rushing  rules,  under 
tlic  threat  oi  two  months  of  social  probation,  a  fine,  and  loss  of 
pledges.  It  is  ol)\  ions  that  siinii'  stiffer  penalty  should  be  devised. 
The  difficulty  is  that  dirty  rushing  is  nearly  a  perfect  crime.  This 
year  it  would  ha\e  taken  an  army  of  Pinkertons  to  prove  dirtv 
rushing,  if  the  houses  had  chosen  to  deny  it. 

One  solution  comes  to  mind.  This  is  a  desperate  measure, 
and  it  cannot  be  tbouglit  of  lightly.  Hnshiiig  cotdd  be  put  under  the 
honor  .system  code.  Spccificallv,  everyone  should  sign  a  pledge  after 
rushing,  not  before.  Then  it  would  he  just  as  dishonorable  to 
dirty  rush  as  it  is  to  cheat  on  an  exam.  The  penalty  could  he  just 
as  stiff  as  well.  Not  only  would  individuals  he  less  likely  to  dirtv 
rnsh,  hilt  also  the  freshmen  would  more  likely  be  disgusted  by 
it.  if   it  were  made  a  matter  of  honor. 

One  Mure  Possibiliti/ 

There  is  one  more  solution.  This  one  we  tend  to  trust  more 
than  the  last  one.  It  is.  (|uite  simply,  to  move  rushing  back  to  Feb- 
ruary. It  takes  the  houses  a  certain  amount  of  time  to  figure  out 
whom  they  would  like  to  dirty  rush.  If  rushing  were  in  February, 
the  bouses  would  literally  not  have  enough  time  to  mobilize  tbeir 
dirty  ni.shing  cainpagnes.  This  .sounds  ridiculous  at  first.  But  re- 
member, and  this  is  clinically  proven,  that  .'\mlierst  has  February 
rnshing  and  they  are  not  plagued  hv  dirty  ru.shing. 

There  is  another  side  to  the  coin.  If  rushing  were  moxcd  back 
to  freshman  year,  it  would  ea.se  the  financial  strain  on  the  houses. 
With  foui-  classes,  each  house  would  have  nearly  60  members, 
whereas  now  they  have  around  4.5.  Due  to  wholesale  buying  of 
food,  etc.  a  house  cannot  operate  efficiently  much  below  4()  mem- 
hers.  Losing  a  pledge  class  with  four-class  rushing  is  not  desirable, 
hut  in  three-class  rusliing  it  can  spell  financial  diaster.  Thus  there 
is  much  more  pressure  to  dirtv  rush  under  the  deferred  plan. 

Opposition  To  I'vcshinaii  Hi(.s7iiiig. 

The  problem  of  moving  mshing  back  affords  no  pat  answers 
Oiu-  can  cite  several  other  arguments  for  it  —  namely  the  preven- 
tion of  house  stratification  and  the  increased  social  benefits  to  the 
freshmen.  But  there  are  some  ajjjiaient  drawbacks,  too.  Last  y<!ar 
when  President  Baxter  tinned  down  the  Ad  Hoc  Committee  |ieti- 
tion  for  freshman  rushing,  he  cited  three  reasons  why  at  that  time 
rushing  could  not  be  moved  back. 

First,  he  h'lt  that  his  new  system  deserved  a  fair  trial.  It  has 
now  had  its  fair  trial;  we  helie\e  on  the  basis  of  the  widespread 
dirty  rushing  that  the  new  system  has  jiroved  to  be  impractical. 

Second,  he  insisted  that  the  new  Student  Union  would  go  to 
waste  if  the  fiesbmen  were  in  fraternities.  This  is  a  valid  point.

New  difficulties  arise  as  newspapers,  newscasters,  and  angry

him.  How  l'"ord  solves  his  dilemma  turns  out  to  be  lairly  conven- 
tional, but  the  film's  basic  theme  leaves  much  food  for  thought. 


However,  we  feel  that  a  suitable  compromise  can  be  worked  out. 
whereby  the  freshmen  could  eat  onK-  two  of  their  meals  per  week 
in  their  houses. 

President  Baxter's  third  point  is  that  detr'rred  rushing  creates 
cla.ss  unity.  Utuler  our  plan,  the  freshmen  would  eat  19  meals  a 
week  together.  This  seems  to  point  to  nearly  as  much  iinitv  as  21. 
Even  .so,  theie  is  serious  doubt  whether  class  spirit  actually  does 
get  strimger  during  the  second  seuu'ster.  During  the  past  two 
years,  the  temlencv  has  been  to  break  up  into  cliques  rather  than 
to  unite.  There  are  team  cli(|ucs.  I'litrv  cliiiues.  dining  room  eliipies. 
We  admit  that  these  divisions  are  mori'  plastic  th;in  the  (Jreek  let- 
ter clicjues;  hut  .somehow  the  word  fraternity  has  a  nicer  .sound 
than  the  word  cli(|ue.

only  player  who  experienced  any 
difficulty  as  he  won  his  match 
after  dropping  both  the  first  and 
fourth  games.  John  Barton,  co- 
captain  of  the  squad,  was  the  only 
Eph  to  lose.  He  dropped  his 
match  by  a  16-14,  16-15  and  15- 
10  score. 

Williams  Runs  Out  Matcli 

Tom  Shulman,  Dick  Ennis,  and 
Dooales  Weaver  ran  out  the  re- 
maining matches  for  Williams  In 
a  convincing  fashion  to  give  the 
Ephs  the  final  victory.  On  Thurs- 
day, the  Ephmen  journey  to  Hart- 
ford, Connecticut  to  take  on  the 
Hartford  Raquets  Club  in  what 
promises  to  be  a  tough  match. 

The  Williams  Ireshmen  were 
swamped  by  their  more  experi- 
enced Deerfield  opponents  in  the 
Lasell  squash  courts.  The  visitors 
won  all  the  matches  except  the 
number  nine  contest  in  which  Mike 
Baring-Gould  beat  Bradley,  6-15, 
15-4,  12-15,  15-6,  and  15-10.

Wednesday.  Feb.  15  -  The  Wil- 
liams freshman  basketball  team 
defeated  the  Siena  yearlings,  77- 
66  tonight  in  Lasell  Gym.  Wil- 
liams led  throughout  the  game 
against  the  shorter  Siena  team, 
but  hustle  and  alert  play  kept  the 
visitors  always  in  contention. 

The  Ephs  jumped  off  to  an  early 
lead  and  led  by  fifteen  points  at 
one  time,  before  Siena  cut  the 
margin  to  three  early  In  the  sec- 
ond quarter.  Williams  then  ral- 
lied to  lead  again  by  fifteen  at 
halftime,  44-29.  In  the  second  half 
Siena  never  came  closer  than  nine 
points,  as  the  Ephmen  coasted  to 
their  ninth  victory  of  the  season 
against  only  two  defeats. 

Control  Boards 

Balanced  scoring  highlighted 
Williams  attack,  as  all  five  starters 
scored  in  double  figures.  Jeff  Mor- 
ton, Bob  Parker,  and  Pete  Will- 
mott  each  collected  16  points  to 
pace  the  Ephs,  while  Bill  Hedeman 
scored  14  and  Phil  Brown  netted 
13. 

Brown  led  the  team  in  rebounds 
with  16,  as  Coach  Coomb's  taller 
squad  controlled  the  backboards. 
Co-captain  Joe  Weaver  was  high 
point  man  for  Siena  with  22 
points,  and  his  deadly  shooting 
paced  the  attack  of  the  visitors 
from  Albany,  N.Y.

Eph  Sextet,  10  ■  3 

Cleary  Leads  Team 
With  Three  Goals 


Cambridge,  Mass.,  Feb.  14  -  The 
Williams  hockey  team  met  a 
strong  Harvard  six,  currently  lead- 
ing the  Ivy  League,  here  this  af- 
ternoon on  the  Watson  Rink  and 
came  away  the  victim  of  a  10-3 
drubbing.  After  playing  inspired 
hockey  for  the  first  two  periods, 
when  the  home  team  led  by  only 
3-2,  the  Ephs  fell  apart  in  the  final 
session  as  the  Crimson  scored  7 
times.  Goalie  Dick  Marr  was  out- 
standing for  the  losers,  stopping 
46  shots,  of  which  20  came  in 
the  second  period. 

In  losing  its  fifth  game  against 
four  wins,  Williams  scored  first 
when  Dave  Cook  slipped  the  puck 
by  all-league  goalie  Chuck  Flynn 
with  only  44  seconds  gone.  Har- 
vard tied  it  up  at  12:04  when  Bob 
Cleary  beat  Marr  on  passes  from 
O'Malley  and  Noyes. 

Man's  sensational  saves  In  the 
second  period  kept  the  Harvard 
lead  down  to  only  one  goal.  Bob 
Little  and  Cleary  registered  for 
the  winners  and  Doug  Poole,  at 
17:19,  scored  for  the  Ephs  on  a 
pass  from  defenseman  Rick  Dris- 
coll.  After  Cleary  put  the  puck  by 
Man-  for  the  third  time  at  3:24 
of  the  last  period,  Pete  Summers, 
Mario  Cell,  and  Dan  Ullyot  and 
Joe  Crehore,  twice,  all  scored  to 
turn  the  game  into  a  rout.  De- 
fenseman George  Welles  tallied 
the  only  Eph  third  period  goal, 
unassisted,  at  7:32.

Undefeated  Frosh 
Swimmers    Face 
Strong   Deerfield 


Wrestlers  Risk  Perfect 
Record  Against  Kent; 
Cagers    Meet    R.P.I. 


Saturday,  Feb.  18  -  Three  fresh- 
man teams  will  be  In  action  at 
home  this  weekend.  The  swim- 
ming team  plays  host  to  Deerfield. 
the  wrestlers  take  on  Kent  and 
the  freshman  basketball  team 
meets  R.P.I.  The  frosh  sv/immtng 
team  will  meet  one  of  its  toughest 
opponents  of  the  year  when  it 
tangles  with  Deerfield  at  3:30  this 
afternoon  in  the  Williams  pool. 
In  a  recent  win  over  Dartmouth, 
Don  McPhee  and  Don  Gibbon  of 
Deerfield  set  records  in  the  100 
and  200  yard  freestyles,  respec- 
tively. 

Clean  Slates  at  Stake 

The  Williams  team  has  a  3-0  re- 
cord with  victories  over  R.P.I.,  Al- 
bany and  Hotchklss.  In  practice 
Alex  Reeves'  best  time  in  the  100 
yard  freestyle  has  been  52.8  while 
McPhee's  record-breaking  time 
was  52.6.  Chip  Ide.  undefeated  in 
the  50  yard  freestyle,  holds  the 
frosh  record  of  23.1  and  the  200 
yard  freestyle  relay  team  of  Alex 
Reeves,  Chip  Ide,  Nick  Frost  and 
Jack  Hyland  holds  the  relay  re- 
cord of  1:37.  Team  depth  will  be 
the  decldi'-"'  factor  in  overcoming 
the  Dec  .leld  team. 

This  afternoon  at  Lasell  Gym 
the  frosh  grapplers  take  on  a 
tough  Kent  team.  With  a  5-1  re- 
cord the  Kent  wrestlers  have  an 
experience  advantage  over  Wil- 
liams. Coached  by  Jim  Ostendarp, 
the  Ephmen  haven't  lost  a  bout, 
winning  matches  from  Tufts  and 
Mt.  Hermon.  Ed  Sage,  an  aggres- 
sive gi-appler  in  the  177  pound 
class  will  be  taking  on  Kent's 
number  one  man. 

The  frosh  quintet  faces  R.P.I, 
tonight  on  the  Purple's  home 
court.  According  to  Coach  Bobby 
Coombs,  R.P.I,  has  both  speed 
and  height.  Phil  Brown  will  be 
replacing  Hans  Halllgan  in  the 
usual  starting  line-up  of  Jeff  Mor- 
ton, Pete  Willmott,  Bill  Hedeman 
and  Bob  Parker.

duce  the  deficit  to  nine  points  in 
the  second  quarter  and  the  first 
half  ended  with  the  home  team 
leading  33-24. 

Shipley  Stars 

R.P.I,  was  paced  In  the  first 
half  by  forward  Bob  Hantho.  who 
accounted  for  seventeen  points. 
Hantho  exhibited  an  extremely 
deadly  jumpshot.  scoring  more 
than  half  of  the  home  team's 
points  in  the  first  two  periods. 

The  Purple  offense  was  stymied 
during  the  first  halt  as  usually 
high-scoring  co-captains  Bob  Buss 
and  Wally  Jensen  contributed  but 
two  points  between  them.  Only 
the  superb  offensive  and  defensive 
play  by  center  Walt  Shipley  kept 
the  Ephs  in  the  game.  Shipley 
scored  twenty  points  for  the  en- 
tire contest  and  rebounded  very 
well  in  the  second  half. 
Ephs  Gain  Lead 

Williams  displayed  strong  come- 
back ability  as  it  overcame  the 
Rensselaer  lead  in  the  third  quar- 
ter and  forged  ahead  by  three 
points  45-42.  The  Ephmen  retained 
this  edge  throughout  the  fourth 
quarter  and  won  despite  determin- 
ed R.P.I,  efforts  to  reverse  the 
outcome. 

Wally  Jensen  sparked  the  Eph 
resurgence  in  the  second  half  by 
tallying  fifteen  points,  mostly  on 
short  jump  shots  and  fouls.  Jen- 
sen was  particularly  effective  from 
the  foul  line  as  he  garnered  nine 
fouls  out  of  ten  attempts. 
Sideline  Shots 

The  fact  that  the  Purple  com- 
mitted only  eight  fouls  during  the 
entire  game  proved  to  be  of  great 
benefit  to  the  Ephs  as  R.P.I.'s 
scoring  from  the  foul  line  was  lim- 
ited to  seven  points  compared  to 
19  for  Williams  . . .  The  Purple 
have  now  won  fourteen  out  of  the 
21  games  in  the  series,  which  be- 
gan in  1901.

Blanks  Freshmen 


Visitors  score  3  Goals 

In  Vital  Last  Period 


Wednesday,  Feb.  15  -  Exploding 
for  three  goals  in  the  final  period, 
the  Hotchkiss  pucksters  blanked 
the  Williams  Freshmen.  3-0.  To 
open  this  two-minute  scoring 
splurge,  Bramhall  skated  around 
the  Ephs'  defense  and  shoved  the 
puck  into  the  left  corner  of  the 
goal  while  skating  in  from  the 
right. 

Forty-seven  seconds  later  Brown 
took  Hopkins'  pass  and  ricocheted 
it  oft  Peter  Guy's  pads  for  the 
score.  The  final  tally  came  at 
10:38.  After  Guy  had  kicked  out 
two  consecutive  shots,  Chadsey 
slapped  the  puck  Into  the  twines 
before  the  defense  could  clear  the 
rebound.

Sabrinas'  Record 

The  Sabrinas  opened  the  season 
by  losing  to  Harvard  by  7  points, 
but  snapped  back  with  two  vic- 
tories over  American  Internation- 
al College  and  Army.  The  Purple 
and  White  lost  their  next  encoun- 
ter to  Yale  In  a  heartbreaker.  58- 
57,  as  Yale  scored  the  winning 
basket  with  only  15  seconds  re- 
maining. After  losing  to  M.I.T., 
the  Amherst  squad  traveled  to 
Colby  College  in  Maine  to  com- 
pete m  the  New  England  Tourna- 
ment over  the  Christmas  Holidays. 
Although  losmg  to  Colby  and  Uni- 
versity of  Mass..  the  Sabrinas  de- 
feated Bowdoln,  Brown,  and  Har- 
vard to  gain  third  place.  Back  in 
regular  season  play  after  Christ- 
mas, Amherst  has  beaten  Norwich, 
Brown  again,  Springfield,  Union, 
R.P.I. ,  and  Wesleyan,  while  losing 
only  to  their  neighbors,  U.  of 
Mass. 

The  Ephs  caiTy  into  tonight's 
contest  an  11  and  4  record,  their 
latest  success  being  at  the  expense 
of  R.P.I,  on  Wednesday  night  at 
Troy.  The  Purple  team  opened 
their  campaign  by  beatinc  Union 
and  Boston  College,  the  latter  be- 
ing an  overtime  upset.  However, 
the  Ephs  dropped  theii'  next  two 
games  to  Ti-inity  and  Hofstra, 
the  latter  currently  sporting  a 
17-1  record.  The  first  weekend  af- 
ter the  Christmas  Recess,  Coach 
Shaw  took  his  team  to  Maine 
where  they  put  down  Bowdoln  and 
Bates  by  tremendous  scores.  Wil- 
liams continued  their  winning 
ways  by  beating  Hamilton,  Wes- 
leyan, and  U.  of  Mass.  Following 
these  successes,  the  Ephmen  suf- 
fered their  worst  defeat  of  the 
season  at  the  hands  of  Middlebury, 
and  after  mid-year  recess,  the 
hoopsters  knocked  off  N.Y.A.C. 
and  the  Coast  Guard  before  drop- 
ping an  exciting  game  to  Spring- 
field. Over  Wmter  Carnival  Week- 
end the  Williams  team  easily 
trounced  Alfred. 

Jensen  Leadine:  Scorer 

Coach  Al  Shaw  is  expected  to 
go  along  with  his  regular  starting 
line-up  tonight.  With  very  little 
assistance  from  the  bench,  this 
group  has  averaged  70  points  a 
game  this  season.  At  center  will 
be  big  Walt  Shipley  while  Bob 
Buss  and  Jim  Symons  will  start 
at  forwards.  Wally  Jensen  and 
either  John  Lewis  or  Andy  Santos 
will  play  at  the  guard  positions. 
Lewis  has  missed  the  last  two  con- 
tests due  to  a  throat  infection; 
however,  Andy  Santos  has  done  a 
fine  job  as  his  replacement.  Lead- 
ing the  Ephs  in  scoring  is  Jensen 
with  an  average  of  20  points  a 
game  followed  by  Buss  and  Ship- 
ley with  averages  of  17  and  15 
points,  respectively.  Symons  is 
the  leading  rebounder  of  the  squad 
followed  by  Buss  and  Shipley.

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD,  SATURDAY.  FEBRUARY  18,  1950 


Professor  C.  F.  Rudolph  Delivers 
Third  Lecture  in  Faculty  Series 


C/iapeJ  Commirt€€  I  Homecoming  .  .  . 

Suggests  Changes 


Talk  Discusses  Change 
In  Opinions  on  Nature 
Among   Williams  men 


Assistant  Piofessor  C.  Frederick 
Rudolph  of  the  History  Depart- 
ment presented  the  third  weekly 
faculty  lecture  in  the  annual  series 
at  the  Thompson  Biological  La- 
boratory last  Thursday.  Professor 
Rudolph  examined  the  Williams' 
man's  use  and  interest  in  his  na- 
tural surroundings  in  the  mid- 
Nineteenth  Century,  and  entitled 
his  lecture  "Nature — From  the 
Sublime  to  the  Muscular". 

Student  pressures,  according  to 
Rudolph,  were  strong  in  effecting 
an  overall  change  of  attitude  in 
Williams  men  toward  Nature's 
purpose  from  that  of  the  1820's — 
as  primarily  to  give  witness  to 
God's  majesty — to  the  complete 
secularization  of  Nature  by  the 
late  1860's.  Undergraduate  inno- 
vations were  cited  as  evidence  for 
the  metamorphosis.  Signposts  of 
change  mentioned  by  Rudolph  in- 
cluded a  college  Lyceum  of  Na- 
tural History,  foreign  scientific  ex- 
peditions, the  continual  rebuild- 
ing of  the  continually  burned- 
down  gymnasium,  the  worship  of 
Ralph  Waldo  Emerson,  and  the 
playing  of  the  first  intercollegiate 
baseball  game  with  Amherst  in 
1859. 

Rudolph  laid  particular  stress 
on  the  extra-curricular  Lyceum  of 
Natural  History  which  rivalled  the 
best  of  its  kind  in  pre-Civil  War 
United  States.  The  first  collegiate 
foreign  scientific  field  trips  going 
as  far  away  as  Nova  Scotia  and 
Yucatan  were  sponsored  by  the  Ly- 
ceum and  its  interests  included 
volcanoes  and  giraffes;  its  collec- 
tion included  a  monkey  skin,  an 
Arab  tent,  and  a  collection  of  As- 
syrian bas  reliefs  (later  willed  to 
the  Art  Department). 

Muscle  Consciousness  hit  Wil- 
liamstown  in  the  1840's,  although 
the  first  pi'ofessor  of  Physical' 
Education  handled  not  only  ath- 
letics but  verbal  education  as  well. 
The  influence  of  the  British  was 
found  in  the  formation  of  a  cricket 
club  and  croquet  on  the  Williams 
campus  mirrored  an  energetic  na- 
tional movement.  Sport  came  into 
its  own  in  this  period,  said  Ru- 
dolph, and  intercollegiate  contests 
began  to  take  the  prominent  role 
they  now  occupy. 

With  the  triumph  of  Athletics 
and  the  building  of  Mission  Park 
around  the  Haystack  Monument 
to  beautify  the  town  landscape, 
Rudolph  saw  the  final  triumph  of 
materialism  and  secularization  of 
the  Williams  attitude  toward  na- 
ture. The  new  Williams  man  in 
the  latter  half  of  the  19th  Cen- 
tury would  work  to  get  enough 
money  to  return  finally  to  a  sum- 
mer residence  in  the  "Village 
Beautiful". 


Honors  Plan  .  .  . 

'57  may  likewise  be  affected  by 
the  broadened  program.  According 
to  Professor  Allen,  Head  of  the 
English  Department,  two  students 
who  were  not  previously  candi- 
dates for  honors  have  been  at- 
tracted to  the  program  by 
the  seminar  alternative.  Generally 
speaking,  those  who  wish  to  take 
four  semesters  of  honors  seminars 
must  decide  on  honors  candidacy 
by  the  second  semester  of  the 
Junior  year,  but  those  who  wish 
to  get  a  degree  with  honors  by  the 
thesis  method  may  make  up  their 
minds  as  late  as  the  senior  year. 
In  the  very  rare  case  where  a 
student  who  wishes  to  be  an  hon- 
ors candidate  did  not  take  Eng- 
lish 3-4  in  his  sophomore  year. 
Professor  Allen  indicated  that  a 
program  might  conceivably  be  for- 
mulated whereby  honors  work 
would  be  possible.  All  the  honors 
seminars  except  the  previously 
discussed  SlOl  course  are  open  to 
Individuals  outside  the  English 
major.  For  most  of  these.  English 
1-2  or  fulfillment  of  Division  I 
requirements  is  sufficient  grounds 
for  admission.

Saturday.  Feb.  18  -  Seven  re- 
presentatives from  the  cabinet  of 
the  Williams  College  Chapel  re- 
cently completed  a  study  of  dally 
uid  Sunday  services.  Tlie  commit- 
re  was  comprised  of  Eric  Butler, 
='"\vii>  DeLong,  Tony  Furgueson. 
^  1  Malcolm.  Steve  Morse,  Dave 
"  ven,  and  Dick  Repp,  all  from 
i!:'  i^lass  of  '57. 

After  much  consideration  the 
committee  decided  to  retain  the 
oresent  form  of  Sunday  service, 
■'lowever.  they  suggested  that  Pro- 
fessor Barrow  and  Reverend  Cole 
choose  a  new  hymnal  which  would 
offer  a  wider  variety  ol  hymns 
than  the  present  books.  The  ac- 
quisition of  this  new  hymnal  is 
now  under  serious  consideration 
by  the  administration. 

More  Flexible  Schedule 

Many  suggestions  for  changhig 
the  daily  services  came  from  the 
committee.  One  was  to  make  more 
flexible  the  present  schedule  al- 
lotting three  services  to  a  faculty 
member  and  two  to  a  student.  An 
arrangement  of  two  and  three  ser- 
vices respectively,  depending  on 
the  persons  concerned,  was  pro- 
posed. Another  suggestion  was  to 
keep  the  Chapel  open  and  lighted 
until  10  p.m.  and  to  have  either 
Bibles  or  books  of  prayer  in  the 
pews  for  private  meditation. 

It  was  also  suggested  that  the 
speakers  be  provided  a  bibliog- 
raphy of  materials  available  in 
the  Library  for  use  in  the  services. 
This  would  give  more  variety  to 
the  services  by  supplementing  and 
replacing  scripture  readings.  Fi- 
nally, the  committee  wanted  the 
Chapel  to  make  the  nature  and 
benefits  of  the  noon-day  service 
more  widely  known  throughout 
the  faculty  and  student  body. 

The  Chapel  urged  students  who 
have  suggestions  in  regard  to  any 
aspect  of  the  Chapel's  program  to 
raise  them  with  their  representa- 
tives.

History  Departments  Announce 
New  Program  ior  Honors  Work; 
Adopt  Three  Alternative  Plans 

by  Dick  Davis 
Editor's  note: 

This  is  the  second  in  a  series  of  features  concernini:^  the  ren- 
ovated honors  program.  In  this  issue  the  llislorii  and  the  Ameri- 
cim  llistorij  and  Literature  l^epurlments  will  he  discussed. 

Ill  the  past,  candidates  for  the  degree  with  honors  in  History 
liave  been  limited  to  one  program,  that  of  writing  a  thesis  in  a 
two  year  period,  beginning  witli  tiie  Chiss  of  '58,  two  atlditional 
routes  wiU  be  opened  by  which  an  honors  degree  nuiy  be  obtained. 
The  Class  of  '5/  nnist  continue  under  the  present  plan. 

As  hi  the  Enghsh  Department,  all  candidates  ior  honors  will 
be  required  to  tal<e  an  introductory  course  in  research  and  writ- 
ing. This  course  is  entitled  History  SlOl,  and  uses  the  topic  "The 
Era  of  World  War  1"  as  the  basis  of  study.  Heretofore,  this  course 
was  one  of  strictly  mechanics,  with  no  suljject  matter,  On  coinple 

tlon   of    this   course,   the   honors  ., ^^__ 

candidate  may  choose  any  one  of 
three  programs  for  the  remainder 
of  his  Junior  and  his  senior  years. 

The  Three  Alternatives 
If  his  Interests  lean  toward  spe- 
ciallzatlon,  the  student  may  eleci, 
to  follow  the  past  system,  and 
spend  the  remaining  three  semes- 
ters writing  an  honors  thesis.  If 
he  so  chooses,  the  honors  candi- 
date may  lake  any  of  the  seminars 
as  an  elective  course,  and  will 
only  have  to  take  the  standard 
four  hour  major  examination  be- 
fore graduation. 

The  second  alternative  also  re- 
volves around  a  thesis,  but  the  pro- 
ject is  limited  to  two  semesters 
rather  than  three.  Honors  aspir- 
ants who  select  this  course  of  work 
will  take  a  second  honors  seminar 
in  the  second  semester  of  their 
Jumor  year,  then  embark  on  the 
preparation  of  a  thesis  in  the 
senior  year.  These  candidates  will 
take  the  regular  examination,  with 
additional  testing  on  theh  semi- 
nar work. 
Seminars  in  other  Departments 
Thpvp  is  ypt  p  IbivH  pllprnntivp 
This  Is  the  most  radical  develop- 
ment, and  consists  of  a  two-year 
program  of  honors  seminars.  In 
each  semester  of  the  Junior  and 
senior  year,  the  honors  student 
must  take  at  least  one  honors  se- 
minar, but,  with  the  permission 
of  the  department,  one  of  these 
may  be  elected  from  those  offered 
by  other  departments.  Thus,  a 
"parallel"  honors  seminar  might 
be  taken  in  the  English  Depart- 
ment, for  instance.  At  the  end 
of  the  senior  year,  those  who  have 
participated  in  this  program  will 
be  examined  on  all  work  in  their 
honors  program. 

American  History  and  Literature 
The  number  and  types  of  pro- 
grams open  to  students  wishing  to 
do  honors  work  in  American  His- 
tory and  Literature  are  Identical 
with  those  offered  by  the  History 
department.  Beginning  candidates

must  enroll  in  the  same  SlOl  se- 
minar, and  afterwards  have  the 
same  three  alternative  routes  from 
which  to  select.  Many  of  the  same 
seminars  are  Riven  in  both  detinvt,- 
ments. 

As  In  every  other  major,  the 
regular  sequence  courses.  History 
5-6  and  19-20,  must  be  taken  a- 
long  with  the  honors  program.  The 
natural  prerequisite  is  History  3-4, 
taken  in  the  sophomore  year,  but  it 
is  not  Impossible  for  students  who 
did  not  take  3-4  in  the  sophomore 
year  to  do  History  honors,  pro- 
vided that  acceptable  grades  were 
received  in  1-2  or  la-2a.  Also,  at 
the  discretion  of  the  department, 
seniors  previously  not  committed 
to  honors  work  may  enter  the  pro- 
gram. 

Honors  students  outside  the  His- 
tory and  American  History  and 
Literature  majors  are  eligible  for 
entrance  into  the  honors  seminars. 
After  the  first  semester  of  the 
1956-57  school  year,  no  less  than 
two,  and  often  three  or  four  semi- 
nars will  be  offered.

In  MIT  Incident 


Lord  Jeffs  Stave  Off  Williams'  Second  Half  Rally 
To  Gain  Second  'Little  Three'  Victory,  61-57 


Saturday,  Feb.  18  -  Before  a 
large  Winter  Homecoming  crowd 
In  the  Lasell  Gymnasium,  the  Wil- 
liams varsity  basketball  team  was 
edged  tonight,  61-57,  by  a  sti'ong 
Amherst  squad.  Although  coming 
within  one  point  of  the  visitors 
with  seven  minutes  remaining  In 
the  contest,  the  Ephs  never  held 
the  lead.  This  victory  gives  the 
Jeff  squad  the  undisputed  lead 
for  the  Little  Three  basketball 
crown,  although  they  must  face 
the  Ephmen  in  a  return  engage- 
ment on  March  3  at  Amherst. 

From  the  looks  of  the  opening 
quarter.  It  appeared  that  the  Wil- 
liams team  would  be  no  match  for 
the  taller  Jeff  squad.  Led  by  their 
two  6  foot  five  inch  stars,  Doug 
Hawkins  and  Bill  Warren,  the  vi- 
sitors' superior  team  work  proved 
the  difference  as  they  led  at  the 
quarter,  21-11. 

Amherst   Defense    Holds 

The  story  of  the  second  quarter 
Is  similar  to  that  of  the  first  peri- 
od. While  the  Jeff  players  were 
consistently  hitting  from  the  In- 
side, the  Ephmen  were  having 
trouble  solving  the  Amherst  de- 
fense. When  the  buzzer  sounded 
ending  the  first  half,  the  score-

Accidental  Drowning 
Starts  Controversy 

Wednesday,  Feb.  22  -  Reactions 
varying  from  outright  horror  to 
noncommittal  speculation  reigned 
both  on  and  off  the  MIT  campus 
this  week  as  an  aftermath  of  the 
accidental  drowning  of  a  frater- 
nity pledge  during  a  Hell  Week 
stunt  there  last  week. 

Out  on  a  long,  lonely  midnight 
hike,  Thomas  L.  Clark,  a  DKE 
pledge,  fell  through  the  ice  cover- 
ing Cambridge  reservoir  and 
di  owned.  The  body  was  found 
after  an  eight-day  search  by  skin 
divers  in  40  feet  of  water. 
Reaction   Varied 

Reaction  to  the  unfortunate  ac- 
cident from  both  college  official.s 
and  interested  outsiders  has  been 
of  a  varied  nature.  Among  the 
more  outspoken  understandajilj 
was  the  youth's  father,  Alfrec 
Claik  of  Harvey,  111.,  who  said  hi.s 
son  was  the  victim  of  a  "crimina- 
fraternity  stunt".  He  called  for  a 
national  law  forbidding  similai 
practices  in  the  future. 

In  this  connection,  the  Massa- 
chusetts State  Legislature  is  re- 
ported to  be  considermg  a  bill  oi 
ihis  type.  One  MIT  spokesman 
.ermed  treatment  of  pledges  there 
'pilmitive"  and  lamented  the  fac.

are  "fraternities  of  men  at  Mil 
rather  than  MIT  fraternities". 
President  Killian,  Jr. 

On  a  calmer  level,  MIT  Presi- 
dent James  R.  Killian,  Jr.,  in 
clearing  DKE  of  responsibility, 
said  that  the  house  was  a  victim 
of  "long-practiced  traditions  and 
procedures".  However,  Dr.  Killian 
added  that  these  traditions  and 
procedures  "can  no  longer  be  tol- 
erated  at  MIT  or  anywhere  else". 
He  added  that  MIT  "will  use  every 
possible  means  to  eliminate  those

Hell  -  Week  Examined 


There  is  a  definite  connection  between  liappenines  on  other 
eani|5iisiis  and  at  WiUianis  College.  Students  here  should  take  note 
ol  this  tact  when  they  lead  of  tlie  traj^ic  death  of  an  18-year  old 
MIT  fresiiinan  as  a  result  of  a  fraternity  initiation  stunt.  Since  the 
same  niethoils  of  hazing  practiced  by  Williams  fraternities  could 
end  in  a  similar  nmieeded  tragedy,  it  would  be  well  for  Williams 
Iraternity  men  to  examine  their  own  positions  on  tlie  hazing  of 
pledges. 

Tiie  time  to  do  something  is  now,  before  any  serious  conse- 
(|nences  result  from  similar  outmoded  and  silly  practices  carried 
on  in  fraternities  here.  Dr  James  R.  Killian  Jr.,  president  of  MIT, 
was  entirely  correct  in  issuing  a  statement  saying  that  "The  Mas- 
sachusetts Institute  of  Technology  will  use  every  means  and  power 
at  its  disposal  to  eliminate  those  excesses  associated  with  hazing 
()i-  initiation  which  might  possibly  lead  to  accidents  or  which  are 
phvsieallv  or  mentally  hazardous .  .  ."  But  he  is  only  locking  the 
l)arn  tlnor  after  the  horse  has  been  stolen.  It  is  too  late  to  bring 
the  stntlent  back  to  life,  but  jjerhaps  some  good  may  be  salvaged 
from  his  death  if  it  can  result  in  a  change  in  attitudes  on  college 
campusns  across  the  country. 

Tlie  entire  institution  of  hazing  can  come  under  in(|uiry  by 
llioughtftd  and  matine  people.  Does  the  ability  to  make  your  way 
back  from  the  top  of  Mt.  Greylock  on  a  freezing  night  really  lead 
to  the  growth  of  a  better  man?  Other  practices  also  may  go  on 
duriug  initiations  that  are  also  degrading  and  harmful  to  a  stud- 
ent, both  phvsieallv  and  mentally. 

Next  year,  when  fraternity  men  are  planning  Hell  Week  for 
the  pledges  and  the  ciiu-stion  of  midnight  rides  or  other  dangerous 
procedures  comes  up.  remember  what  happened  at  MIT  last  week. 
Also  remember  that  it  can  happen  here.  Deatli  is  only  the  extreme 
ease,  but  the  practice  of  hazing  does  bring  about  many  less  seri- 
ous but  more  frequent  injuries  to  the  minds  and  bodies  of  the 
pledges.  Because  of  these  more  normal  injuries,  the  MIT  incident 
shoidd  cause  us  to  re-evaluate  a  custom  we  tend  to  accept  with- 
out thought.

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


Colorful  Career  of  Late  George  Rudnick 
Stimalates  Fantastic  Rumors  Of  Riches 
Of  Man  Who  Parlayed  Rags  to  Laundry 

by  Siiiwml  Bunch 
"Any  old  clothes  for  Georger'"  Tlie  likeable  iiiau  moved  t|uick- 
ly  between  tlie  dorms  and  the  treshman  rooming  houses  on  lloxey 
Stieet.  Morris  Rudnick,  better  known  to  Williams  students  as 
'  George  ■  thanks  to  Al  Osterhaut  13  who  gave  him  the  monicker 
in  a  RECORD  advertisement,  was  making  his  rounds.  I'or  genera- 
tions following  his  arrival  in  1902  at  the  Billville  station,  "George" 
was  a  well  known  figiue  around  tliese  parts.  "Dear  Boy,'  he  would 
say,  "let  George  do  itl"  Here  is  the  stoiy  of  the  man  luniself 

Campus  rumors  in  the  '2Us 
placed  Uudiiick  among  the  tweu- 
ly  live  richest  men  m  the  Uni- 
ted States.  Naturally,  these  weic 
exaggerations,  but  a  keen  busi- 
ness sense  brouglit  success  to  the 
old  clotlies  dealer,  in  the  early 
days  George  bought  students 
clothes  at  tuesale  prices  and  sold 
tliem,  at  a  profit,  ot  course.  "Vim 
pro  tsent',  George  would  say 
Only  a  one  per  cent  protit.  liut 
genuine  ability  and  his  likeable 
personality  helped  him  along  the 
path  to  local  tame  and  fortune 
He  "cut  tlie  book" 

George  was  supposed  to  be  a 
penny-hoarder,  or  so  lie  seemed 
to  the  students  ot  the  day.  In  ra- 
ther shabby  clothes  he  dressed 
die  part.  When  he  "Cut  the 
book  °  and  let  chance  take  its  part  in  his  deahngs  he  rarely 
lost  much.  The  day  after  Rudnick  concluded  a  successful  deal  a 
student  who  had  sold  some  clothes  at  a  ridiculously  low  price  was 
likely  to  be  met  by  the  jovial  man.  "1  schtock  youl'  Rudnick  would 
exclaim,  and  botli  would  laugh. 

from  a  little  store  near  the  railroad  station,  George  moved  to 
his  present  location,  in  a  building  now  gone.  One  totally  unverified 
stoiy  Claims  tliat  put-iic  baths  lor  students  were  located  in  tlie 
oasement  ot  his  establishment,  but  so  far  no  alumnus  interviewed 
can  remember  anything  except  a  cleaning  and  pressing  shop  in 
iiiat  basement. 

1  ne  old  clothes  business  faded  and  tlie  cleaning  establishment 
grew.  1  hanks  to  the  three  Rudnick  brothers  (two  of  whom  are 
vmliams  graduates)  the  business  is  still  thriving.  One  of  the  cam- 
pus s  most  colorful  characters  passed  into  liistory  some  years  ago, 
out  to  many,  many  alumni  the  memory  of  this  man  lives  vividly  on. 
Authors  note: 

"' Cuttini^  the  book"  was  a  practice  used  wlien  Rudnick  and  a  stu- 
dent disagreed  as  to  a  price.  A  book  was  opened  three  times,  and 
the  last  digit  of  the  right  hand  page  number  was  taken  and  added. 
The  man  with  the  highest  total  {27  was  of  course  nuiximum)  won, 
except  that  three  ones  beat  all  comers.  Winner  got  his  price,  and 
Rudnick  got  quite  a  reputation.  The  idea  seemed  to  appeal  to 
the  Williams  nuins  sense  of  gambling. 


Division  Courses  and  the  Divided  Mind 


L  u  p  o 

Skilled  Shoe  Repeat 
foot  of  Spring  Street 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

There  exists  in  the  Williams  community  today  an  unhealthy 
cold  war  between  the  fraternities  and  the  "Administration".  This 
cold  war  is,  as  all  are,  characterized  by  an  absence  of  open  and 
honest  discussion  as  to  die  bases  for  the  split  and  of  ways  and 
means  of  removing  this  split,  or  basic  differences,  between  the  two 
groups.  The  fraternities  feel  that  the  administration  is  "out  to  get 
diem",  to  destroy  what  is  essentially  a  group  of  students  who  want 
to  live  together  and  be  left  to  administer  themselves,  the  inherent 
mere  educational  benefits  of  which  are  unquestioned. 

The  ".Vdministration"  feels  diat  fraternities  are  snobbish  and 
undemocratic.  They  feel  that  the  presence  of  fraternities  creates 
artificial  and  arbitrary  social  barriers  to  a  free  and  natural  life  at 
college.  The  facts  bear  them  out;  there  is  a  social  stigma  attached 
to  those  who  do  not  join  houses.  This  reflects,  of  course,  not  on  the 
non-affiliate  but  on  those  who  are  naive  enough  to  think  in  such 
terms. 

The  fraternities  feel  on  the  other  hand  that  they  have  a  right, 
as  all  institutions,  to  run  themselves  as  they  choose.  Fraternities 
don't  claim  to  be  "democratic",  (except  within  their  own  admin- 
istration), they  claim  to  be  selective  and  to  respect  the  rights  of 
each  individual  in  the  house  to  live  with  whom  he  pleases.  They 
feel  that  in  the  past  few  years  the  administration  has  violated  that 
riglit.  Facts  bear  out  this  contention  also;  deferred  rushing  has 
made  it  economically  impossible  for  the  fraternities  to  be  as  se- 
lective as  they  once  were. 

Both  sides  have  been  wronged,  in  their  own  terms;  the  fra- 
ternities in  being  forced  to  be  less  selective  and  the  "administra- 
tion",  while  championing  the  cause  of  a  free  and  equal  life  at  Wil- 
liams, put  up  with  these  societies  which  prevent  it. 

The  reason  for  the  Administration's  viewpoint  is  that  fra- 
ternities have  become  on  the  Williams  campus  "too  big  for  their 
britches '.  They  have  grown  from  small,  individual  reading  or  eat- 
ing grou])s  into  large,  competitive  social  groups  whose  ends  (liv- 
ing a  wholesome,  well  rounded  life)  have  become  confused  with 
their  means  (getting  the  men  to  live  with),  until  these  means 
become  ends  and  the  end  is  only  judged  relative  to  other  frater- 
nities. Fraternities  have,  therefore,  grown  too  large  for  their  orig- 
inal purpose  and  due  to  the  fact  that  the  great  majority  of  upper- 
classmen  belong  to  this  .system,  a  stigma  of  inferiority  has  been 
put  on  those  who  don't  want  to  join  in  or  those  who  can't  live  up 
to  the  standards  .set  by  the  participants. 

On  the  assumption  that  both  fraternities  and  the  "Adminis- 
tration" are  here  ostensibly  for  the  same  purpose,  that  is  to  help 
the  student  learn,  there  should  be  no  basic  quarrel  between  them. 
Cooperation  and  compromise  have  always  settled  differences,  and 
have  never  satisfied  ijotli  parties  completely,  but  are  necessary. 
All  institutions  under  stresses  either  bend  or  break.  Fraternities 
in  this  case  are  not  masters  of  their  own  fate  and  must  bend  more 
if  the  ".Administration"  is  not  going  to  use  its  power.  Tlie  com- 
promise here  proposed  is  "total  opportunity"  with  second  semes- 
ter rushing. 

The  writer  cf  this  letter  speaks  as  an  individual  expressing 
personal  opinions  but  docs  treat  as  a  basic  assumption  the  ".Acl- 
ininistration's"  dislike  of  the  fraternity  system  as  it  exists  here  at 
Williams  and  will  not  institute  actions  inconsistent  with  its  be- 
liefs. The  writer  feels  that  unless  fraternities  initiate  positive  ac- 
tion they  will  be  letting  themselves  down. 

Respectfully  yours,

Bi/  Stephen  C.  Rose 
.  It  is  interesting  to  wonder  how  many  students  go  through  Wil- 
liams with  tiie  vaguest  idea  of  what  they  wish  fo  become.  The 
usual  answer,  perhaps  u  justifiable  one,  is.  "I  don't  know".  This 
is  fine  for  fieslinieii.  But  when  a  legion  of  seniors  part  their  hair 
carefully  for  job  interviews,  still  with  little  notion  of  what  they  arc 
good  for,  the  (juestion  becomes  rather  serious. 

The  fact  is  that  Williams  does  not  offer  its  students  a  course 
of  study  by  which  their  "ultimate  concerns"  can  be  made  known 
unto  them,  in  the  words  of  the  clergy.  In  order  to  avoid  the  charge 
of  vagueness,  let  us  be  specific.  In  the  first  place,  Williams  operates 
on  tlie  assumption  that  students  are  too  iimnature  to  be  individ- 
uals. The  college,  calling  itself  "Liberal  Arts",  imposes  a  tlirei' 
division  re(|iiireinent  on  students,  designed  to  make  its  uiidergrad 
nates  "well-balaiicd".  We  would  submit  that  a  student  can  be- 
come so  well  balanced  that  he  is  worthless  to  society.  Those  wIk, 
have  mastered  a  certain  discipline,  art,  Christianity,  or  perhaps  a 
l)iaiicli  of  philosophy,  will  realize  that  the  complex  world  becomes 
simpler.  Certainly  there  are  those  who  lack  the  perseverence  to 
master  a  discipline.  However,  there  are  many  who  can,  and  would 
were  they  given  the  opportunity^ 

Student  are  not  so  immature  t)iat  they  mu.st  be  led  througli 
the  precious  four  years  of  college,  forccil  to  take  courses  in  whicli 
tliey  have  absolutely  no  interest.  Not  until  the  junior  year  is  tin- 
student  given  anything  which  approaches  freedom  of  choice.  Sure 
ly  an  eighteen-year  olcl  has  the  maturity  and  experience  to  know 
whether  he  needs  two  more  years  of  science. 

Let  the  students  decide  their  courses  for  themselves.  If  they 
wish  the  smattering  of  knowledge  in  numerous  fields  wliich  the 
Liberal  Arts  college  demands,  let  them  determine  this  course  on 
their  own.  Perhaps  seniors  would  have  more  assurance,  had  they 
followed  a  self-determined  schedule.

THE  CARE  AND  FEEDING  OF  ROOM-MATES 

Today  we  take  up  room-tnatos,  a  delifiihtful  phenomenon  of 
American  college  life.  Having  a  room-mate  is  not  only  heaps  of 
fun ;  it  is  also  very  educational,  for  the  proper  study  of  mankind 
is  man,  and  there  is  no  better  way  to  learn  the  dreams  and 
drives  of  another  human  being  than  to  share  a  room  with  him. 

This  being  the  case,  it  is  wise  not  to  keep  the  same  room-mate 
too  long,  because  the  more  room-mates  you  have,  the  more  you 
will  know  about  the  dreams  and  drives  of  human  beings.  And 
that's  what  we're  all  after,  isn't  it? 

So  try  to  change  room-mates  as  often  as  you  can.  A  recent 
study  made  by  Sigafoos  of  Michigan  State  shows  that  the  beat 
interval  for  changing  room-mates  is  every  four  hours. 

Now  let  us  discuss  how  to  go  about  choosing  a  room-mate.  Most 
counselors  agree  that  the  most  important  thing  to  look  for  in 

room-mates  is  that  they  be 
people  of  regular  habits.  This, 
I  say,  is  arrant  nonsense.  Wliat 
if  one  of  their  regular  habits 
happens  to  be  beating  a  great 
gong  from  midnight  to  three 
a.m.?  Or  growing  cultures  in 
the  tooth  glass?  Or  reciting 
the  Articles  of  War?  Or  peanut 
brittle? 

Regular  habits  indeed!  I  say 
that  beyond  quibble,  far  and 
away  the  most  important  qual- 
ity in  room-mates  is  that  they 
be  exactly  your  size.  Otherwise 
you  will  have  to  have  their 
clothes  altered  to  fit  you,  which 
can  be  a  considerable  nuisance. 
In  fact,  it  is  sometimes  flatly 
impossible.  I  recollect  one  time 
"~  I  roomed  with  a  man  named 
Tremblatt  Osage  who  was  just 
under  seven  feet  tall  and  weighed  nearly  four  hundred  pounds. 
There  wasn't  a  ble.s.sed  thing  I  could  use  in  his  entire  wardrobe— 
until  one  night  when  I  was  invited  to  a  masquerade  party.  I 
cut  one  leg  off  a  pair  of  Tremblatt's  trousers,  jumped  into  it, 
sewed  up  both  ends  and  went  to  the  party  as  a  bolster.  (Inci- 
dentally, I  took  second  prize.  First  prize  went  to  a  girl  named 
Antenna  Wilkins  who  poured  molasses  over  her  head  and  went 
as  a  candied  apple.) 

But  I  digress.  Let  us  get  back  to  the  qualities  that  make  de- 
sirable room-mates.  Not  the  least  of  these  is  the  cigarettes  they 
smoke.  When  we  borrow  cigarettes,  do 
we  want  them  to  be  harsh,  shoddy,  and 
disdainful  of  our  palates?  Certainly 
not!  What,  then,  do  we  want  them  to 
be?  Why,  we  want  them  to  be  gentle, 
delicately-reared,  and  designed  to  suit 
the  tempo  of  today's  broader,  easier 
life!  And  what  cigarette  is  gentle, 
delicately-reared,  and  designed  to  suit 
the  tempo  of  today's  broader,  easier 
life?  Why,  Philip  Morris,  of  corrisl 
(I'll  bet  you  knew  it  all  the  time!) 

To  go  on.  In  selecting  a  room-mate, 
take  great  pains  to  find  someone  who 
will  wear  well,  whom  you'd  like  to  keep 
as  a  permanent  friend.  Many  of  his- 
tory's great  friendships  first  started  in 
college.  Are  you  aware,  for  example, 
of  the  remarkable  fact  that  Johnson 
and  Bosweli  were  room-mates  at  Ox- 
ford in  1712?  What  makes  this  fact 
80  remarkable  is  that  in  1712  Johnson 
was  only  three  years  old  and  Boswell 
had  not  been  born  yet.  But,  of  course, 
children  matured  much  earlier  in  those 
days.  Take  Wolfgang  Amadeus  Mozart 
who  wrote  his  first  symphony  at  the 
age  of  four.  Or  Titian,  who  painted  his  first  masterpiece  at  five. 
Or  Hans  Otto  McGrath,  who  was  in  many  ways  the  most  remark- 
able of  all;  he  was  appointed  chief  of  the  Copenhagen  police 
department  at  the  age  of  six ! 

(It  must  be  admitted,  however,  that  the  appointment  was  less 
than  a  success.  Criminals  roamed  the  city,  robbing  and  looting 
at  will.  They  knew  young  McGrath  would  never  pursue  them; 
he  was  not  allowed  to  cross  the  street. )  euu  bhihuii,  iih

Deerfield  Mermen 
Nip  Frosh,  49 -28 


Saturday.  Peb.  18  -  The  fresh- 
man swimming  team  suffered  Its 
first  defeat  of  the  year  today  at 
the  hands  of  a  very  powerful  and 
determined  Deerfield  squad  49-28. 
Despite  the  seeming  lopsldedness 
Indicated  by  the  score,  the  meet 
was  not  decided  until  the  last  two 
relays,  both  of  which  were  won 
with  less  than  a  second  margin. 
Three  records  fell  during  the  meet, 
including  a  long-standing  100  yard 
freestyle  record  which  Chip  Ide 
lowered  to  52.3  seconds. 

The  Williams  frosh  took  an  early 
lead  as  Jack  Hyland  and  Nick 
Froshs  wept  the  50.  The  lead 
slowly  dwindled  as  Deerfield  set 
such  men  as  Bob  Gibbon,  who  tied 
the  Deerfield  record  of  2:03.7  In 
the  200.  against  the  Ephs.  Hyland, 
Ide  and  Henry  Tatem  turned  In 
the  only  wins  of  the  day  for  the 
hosts  In  the  50.  100  and  100  back- 
stroke. 

The  most  exciting  race  of  the 
day  pitted  co-captaln  Chip  Ide 
against  Deerfleld's  ace  sprinter 
Don  McPhee.  and  Ide  barely 
touched  out  the  visitors'  star  to 
win  the  event.  The  200  yard  med- 
ley relay  team  of  Tatem.  Scott 
Lowry.  co-captaln  Alex  Reeves 
and  Mike  Wlpper  was  nipped  to 
give  Deerfield  the  decisive  points. 


Dartmouth  Beats 
Williams  Skaters 
In  4-3  Encounter 

Indians  Assure  Victory 
On  Last  Period  Goals ; 
Cook  Scores  Three 


Monday.  Peb.  20  --  The  Dart- 
mouth Indians  came  to  town  this 
afternoon  and  left  the  owners  of 
a  4-3  win  over  the  Williams  hoc- 
key team  In  a  sloppily-played 
game. 

Williams  scored  first  when 
Dave  Cook,  by  far  the  outstanding 
all-around  player  of  the  game  for 
the  Ephs.  got  the  first  of  ;his 
three  goals.  Taking  a  pass  In 
front  of  the  cage  from  Doug 
Poole,  the  current  team  high- 
scorer  beat  goalie  John  Scully 
with  only  1:05  gone.  Defenseman 
Tony  Olttes  tied  It  up  for  Dart- 
mouth at  7:28  on  a  thirty-footer 
fired  past  Eph  net-minder  Dick 
Marr's  outstretched  glove. 
Cook  Tallies  Second 

Cook  made  it  2-1  at  6:50  of 
the  second  session  with  a  siz- 
zling slap  shot  from  Just  inside 
the  blue  line  which  caught  Scully 
flatfooted.  Poole  and  Dick  Flood 
assisted  on  the  tally.  At  9:53  a 
3  on  1  break  enabled  Dave  Chapln 
to  even  the  score  for  the  Indians 
as  he  took  a  pass  from  Don 
Thomas  and  came  in  all  alone 
on    Marr. 

Lanlgan  scored  his  first  third- 
period  goal  at  5:00  when,  with 
the  Ephs  one  man  down,  he  cir- 
cled the  cage  and  slipped  the 
puck  by  Marr.  His  second  score 
at  9:16  provided  the  margin  of 
victory  even  thou;gh  Cook  got 
his  third  goal  with  13:34  gone 
on  another  blue-line  shot.  Marr 
stopped  22  and  Scully  made  34 
saves  In  the  game  with  several 
of  each  player's  being  of  the 
spectacular  variety.

Frosh  Hoopsters  Down  Engineers; 
Parker  Paces  Ephs'  72  -  67  Win 


Saturday.  Feb.  18  -  The  Wil- 
liams Freshman  basketball  team 
defeated  a  good  R.P.I,  frosh  squad 
tonight  In  Lasell  Gym,  72-67.  The 
frosh  led  all  the  way  against  the 
visitors  from  Troy,  N.Y.,  in  gain- 
ing their  sixth  straight  victory 
and  raising  the  season  record  to 
10-2. 

Led  by  Bob  Parker's  deadly 
shooting.  Williams  jumped  into 
an  early  17-1  lead,  only  to  have 
R.P.I,  come  roaring  back  with 
eleven  straight  points  against  the 
Ephs  sliding  zone  defense.  The 
Engineers  narrowed  the  margin  to 
three  points  midway  through  the 
half,  before  the  Ephmen  pulled 
away   to   a  40-28  halftlme  lead. 


R.P.I,  quickly  narrowed  the  ga)) 
after  the  intermission,  and  the 
second  half  was  close  all  the  way, 
with  the  Purple  holding  on  to  win 
by  five  points. 

Guard  Bob  Parker  took  scoring 
honors  for  Williams  with  10  field 
goals  and  4  foul  shots  for  24  points, 
while  center  Jeff  Morton  led  in 
rebounds  with  19.  Morton  and  Bill 
Hedeman  each  collected  7  baskets 
for  14  points,  and  Pete  Willmott 
netted  6  goals  for  12  points.  Phil 
Brown  rounded  out  the  Eph  scor- 
ing with  8  points,  as  the  frosh 
tossed  in  33  field  goals,  but  made 
only  6  of  18  foul  shots.

yVhat  young  people  are  doing  at  General  Electric 


?  ^  Young  manager 
handles  finances  for 
M0,000,000  business 

General  Electric  is  made  up  of  more  than 
90  product  departments  that  operate  as  in- 
dividual "businesses"  —  each  conducting  its 
own  legal,  financial,  manufacturing,  engi- 
neering, marketing  and  research  activities. 
One  of  the  most  important  of  these  busi- 
nesses is  the  Technical  Products  Department 
that  makes  broadcasting  and  communica- 
tions equipment  and  semi-conductor  devices. 
■Responsible  for  managing  the  finances  of 
this  $40  million  business  is  Robert  H.  Piatt 

Piatt's  Work  Is  Important,  Responsible 
In  the  next  ten  years,  the  Technical  Products 
Department  is  expected  to  reach  the  $100 
million  mark  —  more  than  doubling  its 
present  size.  This  is  a  big  job.  And  it  requires 
Piatt  to  keep  tabs  on  everything  from  tax, 
cost,  and  general  accounting  to  payrolb, 
budgets  and  measurements,  credits  and  col- 
lections, and  internal  auditing. 

25,000  Colleie  Graduates  at  General  Electric 
Experience  gained  in  the  Business  Training 
Course  and  as  a  traveling  auditor  gave  Piatt 
a  variety  of  financial  experience.  Like  each 
of  our  25,000  college-graduate  employees, 
he  was  given  the  chance  to  grow  and  realize 
his  full  potential.  For  General  Electric  has 
long  believed  this:  When  fresh  young  minds 
.are  given  the  freedom  to  make  progress, 
everybody  benefits  -  the  individual,  the 
company,  the  country.

Dartmouth  Noses  Out 
Midilebury  for  Title 

Elbow,  Clark  Pace  Ephs 
To  7th  in  Ski  Meet 


By  Reg  Plesner,  '56 

Middlebury,  Vt..  Feb.  19  -  It 
looked  after  yesterday  as  though 
Middlebury  might  again  win  the 
Eastern  Intercollegiate  Ski  Cham- 
pionship. But  though  they  beat 
Dartmouth  in  the  Jump  as  ex- 
pected, their  Nordic  combined 
score  dropped  well  below  Dart- 
mouth to  give  them  a  second  in 
the  meet  only  four  tenths  of  a 
point  behind  first  place. 

"Sever"  Without  Luck 

But  for  Williams,  the  weekend 
was  not  a  roaring  success;  har- 
assed by  poor  luck,  Inexperience, 
and  the  number  "seven".  In  the 
downhill,  won  by  Igaya,  only  one 
out  of  four  men.  Peter  Clark  had 
a  standing  run.  and  came  in  thir- 
teenth. Palmedo  and  Becket  came 
in  twenty-eighth  and  thirty-first 
and  the  team  got  a  seventh.  In 
the  cross-country,  won  by  Richard 
Osgood  of  New  Hampshire.  Pete 
Elbow's  sixteenth  was  followed  up 
by  Becket's  twenty-ninth  and 
Plesner's  thirty-first  place  to 
leave  the  team  in  seventh  again. 
In  the  slalom  on  the  Ross  Trail 
set  by  George  Macomber  and  won 
by  Egll  Stlgum  the  team  managed 
to  come  in  sixth  but  returned  to 
seventh  in  the  alpine  combined. 
Tony  Smith  and  H.  Clark  were 
30th  and  37th.  Though  Elbow 
took  fourteenth  In  the  Jump,  the 
team  placed  seventh  and  thus 
established  firmly  their  final  po- 
sition of  seventh  In  the  meet.  New 
Hampshire  was  third.  Vermont 
fourth,  Norwich  fifth.  St.  Law- 
rence sixth.  Harvard  eighth, 
Syracuse   ninth   and  MIT  tenth.

Early  Lead  Gives 
Ephs  Big  Victory 

By    David    Sims 

Saturday.  Feb.  18  -  A  well- 
conditioned  and  fighting  Williams 
Varsity  Wrestling  team  gained  a 
sufficient  lead  in  the  light  weights 
to  upset  Colgate  this  afternoon  16- 
14  before  a  large  Homecoming 
crowd.  The  Purple  .squad,  with  un- 
tiring devotion  since  the  Mid- Win- 
ter vacation,  had  built  up  a  spir- 
ited and  excellently  conditioned 
team  which  today  would  not  lose 
to  powerful  Colgate.  Too  much 
credit  cannot  be  given  to  Coaches 
Ed  Bullock  and  Jim  Ostendarp. 
Captain  Jock  Duncan  and  every 
individual  member  of  the  entire 
squad. 
McKee,   Hutchinson,  Howard  Win 

Colgate,  unable  to  put  up  a  man 
in  the  123-lbs.  class,  was  forced 
to  forfeit  the  individual  match  to 
John  Evans,  and  the  Purple  led 
5-0.  Wrestling  at  130-lbs.,  Ted 
McKee  gained  a  quick  lead,  and  at 
the  end  of  the  second  period  led 
9-4.  Outconditlonlng  his  Raider 
opponent,  McKee  was  fighting  for 
a  pin  when,  at  7;  15  of  the  last 
period.  Colgate  had  to  forfeit  the 
full  five  points  when  their  man 
seriously  injured  himself.  Jim 
Hutchinson  then  hardily  whipped 
his  man  at  137-lbs..  running  up  an 
eaiiy  lead  and  completely  domin- 
ating the  match  for  an  11-4  de- 
cision. Carter  Howard  continued 
the  Ephmen's  winning  ways, 
though  having  to  come  from  be- 
hind to  do  it.  Wrestling  at  147- 
Ibs.,  Howard  was  taken  down  in 
the  first  period  and  trailed  2-0. 
An  escape  and  a  take-down  put 
him  back  in  the  lead  and  points 
for  a  penalty  and  time  in  the  last 
period  gave  him  the  decision.  5-2. 

Trailing  16-0  with  four  matches 
to  go,  the  Red  Raiders  put  on  the 
pressure.  When  Dave  Andrews, 
probably  the  best  wrestler  on  the 
team,  was  stopped  8-4  by  an  ex- 
cellent Colgate  matman  and  Gene 
Sullivan  also  lost  a  decision.  8-2, 
the  score  closed  to  16-6.  The  re- 
maining two  Eph  wrestlers,  Ted 
Baumgardner  and  Pete  Carney, 
both  weighing  about  170  lbs.  had 
to  wrestle  in  the  177-lbs.  and  the 
unlimited  classes  respectively.  The 
Ephmen  were  assured  of  a  tie, 
but  two  pins  would  end  their  quest 
for  an  upset. 

Baumgardner,  facing  a  superior 
opponent,  was  pinned  at  2:37  of 
the  first  period,  but  Carney,  spot- 
ting forty  lbs.  to  his  man,  held  on. 
and  although  losing  the  decision 
5-2,  his  determination  prevented 
a  pin  and  secured  an  upset  win 
for  the  Ephmen.

In  Mile  Relay  Race 

Wednesday,  Feb.  22  -  The  Wil- 
liams Winter  relay  team  is  train- 
ing hard  for  the  IC4A  meet  on 
February  25,  in  Madison  Square 
Garden.  The  games  draw  teams 
from  many  top  track  colleges  In 
the  East.  Entered  only  in  the  mile 
relay  race,  the  Eph  squad  will  face 
some  of  the  nation's  finest  winter 
track  quartets  In  a  race  that  pro- 
mises rugged  competition  and  fast 
times. 

Coach  Tony  Plansky's  indoor 
runners  are  led  by  the  only  hold- 
over from  last  year's  squad.  Cap- 
tain Tim  Hanan.  A  star  football 
halfback,  he  is  extremely  fast 
over  the  quarter  mile  route,  and 
holds  the  lead-off  position.  Speed- 
ster Andy  Smith  fills  the  number 
three  slot  on  the  current  squad. 
Captain-elect  of  the  Spring  cln- 
dermen.  Smith  Is  primarily  a 
sprinter,  running  the  100  and  220 
In  9.9  and  21.4. 

Sophomore  Bill  Fox.  probably 
the  fastest  man  for  the  distance, 
has  run  at  the  anchor  post  during 
most  of  the  season,  recording  con- 
sistently fast  times  for  the  quarter. 
The  second  leg  has  been  run  by 
four  different  men  at  various 
times:  Dick  Clokey,  Bob  Rayns- 
ford.  Steve  Carroll,  and  John 
Schlmmel.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  22,  1956 


French  Professor  Grant  Prepares 
To  Write  Book  on  Study  of  Zola 


Uses  Sabbatical  Leave 
To  Sliidy  Old  Novels 
In  Parisian  Library 


Wednesday.  Feb.  l!2  -  Professor 
Elliott    M.    Grant,    head    of    the 
French  Department,  has  retiu'ned  | 
to  Williams  thi.s  term  after  a  one  I 
semester  .sabbatical.   Grant   .spent 
the  last  si.\  weeks  of  his  leave  in 
Paris    whe:e    he    studied    at    the 
French  library,  Le  Bibliolcque  Na- 1 
lional.    During    the    first    half    of 
his  absL'nce  he  stayed  at  hi.s  house 
in  New  Hampshire  and  worked  in 
Dartmouth's   library. 

Professor  Grant's  project  durlne 
the  sabbatical  was  a  close  study  of 
the  works  of  Emile  Zola,  the  great 
French  novelist  of  the  second  half 
of  the  nineteenth  century.  He  has 
already  published  three  articles  on 
Zola  in  learned  periodicals,  and 
now  he  is  taking  notes  in  order  to 
w:i!c  a  book.  He  has  a  study  sche- 
dule worked  out  so  that  he  ■will 
be  able  to  start  writing  about  a 
year  from  June. 

Zola  Manuscripts 

Disresardhig  all  other  Parisian 
attractions,  the  Paris  library  is 
the  best  in  the  world  for  the  study 
of  Zola,  says  Professor  Grant'. 
They  have  a  collection  of  all  Zola's 
original  manuscripts,  a  gift  from 
ih.c  novelist's  widow.  Since  this 
is  sucli  a  priceless  collection,  spe- 
cial permission  is  required  to  use 
it. 

According  to  Grant,  tiie  valuable 
part  of  these  manuscripts  for 
.scholarly  research  is  not  the  texts 
oi  the  novels,  for  they  have  all 
bCL'n  published.  However,  the 
manu.scripts  also  include  Zola's 
origuial  chapter  by  chapter  out- 
lines and  his  preliminary  char- 
acter sketches. 

Grant's  Method 

Professor  Grant's  method  of  at- 


Basketball  .  .  . 

period,  the  home  team  kept  with- 
in a  few  points  of  the  visitors. 
When  the  clock  registered  seven 
minutes  to  go,  Bob  Buss  brought 
the  home  aggregation  within  one 
point  of  the  Jeffs  with  a  push 
shot.  However,  the  Jeffs  once  a- 
gain  took  command  and  led.  57-51. 
with  two  minutes  remaining. 

Con.secutive  jump  shots  by  Lewis 
and  Jensen  gave  hope  to  the  Wil- 
liams rooters,  making  the  score, 
59-57.  with  only  45  seconds  left 
on  the  clock.  Hastings  of  the 
visitors  was  fouled  but  missed  his 
first  free  throw  as  Buss  took  the 
rebound.  Behind  by  only  two 
points,  Williams  now  held  posses- 
sion ij'.  the  ball,  but  the  official 
called  a  walking  violation  on  Lew- 
is with  30  seconds  remaining.  The 
Jeffs  held  po.ssession  of  the  ball 
and  Hastings  added  two  points  on 
fouls  to  make  the  final  score,  61- 
57. 

Hawkins  High  Scorer 

High  scorer  of  the  contest  was 
the  Jeffs'  big  center,  Hawkins, 
who  tossed  in  20  points.  Shipley 
and  Jensen  both  scored  17  for  the 
Eph  squad.  JeiLsen  was  held  to 
only  4  points  in  the  first  half  but 
found  the  range  in  the  second 
half. 

On  Wednesday  night,  the  Ephs 
travel  to  meet  the  Univer.sity  of 
Vermont  at  Burlington.  The  Cata- 
mounts have  a  veteran  team  which 
holds  a  7  and  7  record  this  season. 
Last  year  Williams  defeated  the 
Vermont  squad,  82-65. '

Dean  Sayre  To  Talk 
At  WCC  Conference 


•Ihe  Williams  Colleue  Chapel 
has  announced  the  first  speaker 
m  iti  newly  inaugurated  Sun- 
day night  supper  program.  Tliis 
Sunday  the  'Very  Rev.  Francis 
Sayre,  Dean  of  the  Washington 
Cathedral,  ■Washington,  D.C., 
will  deliver  the  sermon  at  a 
5  p.m.  Chaiiel  service.  Iimnedl- 
ately  after  the  service  a  liam- 
buiger  supper  will  be  served  in 
the  Congregational  Church  for 
all  students  and  faculty  inter- 
ested in  meeting  and  talking 
with  Dr.  Sayre. 

J'oUowlng  the  supper  Dr. 
Sayre  will  speak  on  the  contro- 
versial topic,  "How  Real  is  the 
Religious  Revival'?"  The  talk 
will  concern  itself  with  the  sin- 
cerity of  the  recently  increased 
body  01  church-goers.  A  dis- 
cussion will  follow. 


tack  is,  in  his  own  words,  "an 
objective  historical  approach  to  lit- 
erature". This  is  to  be  distinguisli- 
ed  from  either  a  strictly  histori- 
cal or  a  purely  literary  approach. 
Grant  says  that  he  compares  the 
outlines  and  sketches  m  the  manu- 
scripts with  the  finislied  novels  to 
get  to  a  deeper  insigiit  into  the 
workings  of  Zola's  mind. 

When  asked  what  else  he  did  in 
Paris  besides  studying,  he  was 
quick  to  assure  us  that  the  library 
was  not  open  at  night.  His  night 
life  consisted  solely  of  the  opera, 
"La  Comedie  Francaise".  One  du- 
bious statistic:  he  claims  he  made 
not  even  one  trip  to  tlie  "Follies 
Bergeres".

Says  Belief  Must  Push 

Farther  Than  Reality 


Sunday,  Feb.  19  -  Siiylng  that 
the  "face  the  facts"  attitude  of 
the  world  today  is  resulting  in 
"sheer  conservatism"  in  thought 
and  religious  belief,  llie  Reverend 
William  G.  Cole,  speaking  at  tlie 
11:00  a.m.  service  in  llie  Williams 
College  Chapel,  said  tliat  people 
must  overcome  reality  for  a  more 
unquestioning  faith. 

According  to  Professor  Cole,  it 
is  this  wrestling  with  reality  which 
puts  so  many  things  beyond  the 
realm  of  possibility. 

Using  Matthew  i);2>J — "Accord- 
ing to  your  faith,  be  it  unto  you" — 
as  the  basis  for  his  sermon,  Pro- 
lessor  Cole  said  that  "It  is  faitli 
which  makes  the  impossible  hap- 
pen. The  lame  can  walk,  the  deaf 
can  iiear,  the  blind  can  see — ac- 
cording to  your  faith." 

Declaring  that  "We  move  for- 
ward on  tile  shoulders  of  those  wlio 
nave  had  the  faith  to  brave  the 
swainps  of  the  impossible,  the  un- 
uiiknown".  Professor  Cole  cited

cidents". 

beveral  high-ranking  officials  at 
ouier  colleges  in  tile  Boston  area 
counnemed  on  the  situation  at 
men  respective  schools.  Harvard 
Dean  Dt'unar  Leighton  said  "We 
simply  don't  have  that  sort  of 
tnmg  liere".  Bi.ston  College  Dean 
Rev.  J.  L.  Shea,  S.  J.,  stated,  "We 
would  never  permit  ttrouble  along 
those  lines  1".  Boston  University's 
Dean  J.  P.  McKenzie  noted  that 
students  theie  of  their  own  accord 
replaced  "Hell  Week"  witli  a  "Help 
Week"  with  pledges  doing  volun- 
teer work  in  hospitals.

Juniors  selected  on  merit  and  in-

Problems  which  such  a  group 
could    discuss    are:    improvements :  the    1946   Employment  Act.  since 


of  the  Williams  managerial  sys- 
tem, an  effective  .system  for  meet- 
ing visiting  teams,  and  reasons 
for  the  feeling  that  it  is  "taboo" 
to  wear  a  Williams  letter. 

Edgar  believes  that  a  revitalized 
Purple  Key  could  gain  prestige  and 
serve  as  an  effective  link  between

Panelists  Discuss 
Donely,  Fetter, 

Tuesday.  Feb.  21  -  "Should  the 
Government  Enforce  Desegrega- 
tion in  Southern  Schools?"  was  the 
inpic  disci  ssed  this  evening  in  the 
Rathskellar  of  Baxter  Hall  by  the 
fifth  in  a  series  of  Adelphic  Union 
panels. 

Dave  Loomls  '56.  serving  as  mod- 
e:ator,  was  introduced  by  Dave 
Kleinbard  and  opened  the  program 
by  acquaintini?  the  audience  with 
the  history  of  the  May,  1954,  Su- 
preme Court  decision  which  abol- 
ished segregation  in  U.S.  schools. 
Loomls  pointed  out  that  the  de- 
cision based  on  the  14th  Amend- 
ment of  the  United  States  Con- 
stitution has  caused  an  upheaval 
of  race  relations  in  the  South.  He 
cited  a  reactionary  spirit  in  the 
Southern  states  affecting  both  Ne- 
groes and  Whites  and  noted  its 
con.sequences.  Noting  that  the 
North  has  also  been  sthred  up  by 
the  issue  and  that  conflicting 
views  have  arisen  regarding  the 
situation  throughout  the  United 
States.  Loomls  explained  that  the 
panel  was  des  gned  to  show  the 
main  views  on  the  problem. 
Moderate   Southern  View 

Announcing  thai  he  wasn't  a 
southerner.  Rod  Ward  '56,  'ihe 
first  panelist  to  speak,  offered  his 
interpretalion  of  the  mode,  ale 
Southern  view,  "The  southerner  is 
by  nature  a  strong  indivlduaUst". 
explained  Ward.  He  continued, 
saying  that  the  .southerner  will 
protect  his  way  even  if  it  means 
violence.  Ward  mentioned  that  'the 
South  considers  the  NEgro  infer- 
ior in  many  respects;  also  there  is 
a  feeling  In  the  South  that  non- 
southerners  have  failed  to  appre-

ciate  what  the  southerner  has  done 
in  his  own  way  to  aid  the  Negro  In 
the  last  fifty  years. 

In  conclusion  Ward  emphasized 
three   things:   1.  The  South  feels 
desegrrgation   is  being   forced   on 
i  it  by  people  ignorant  of  the  situ- 
lation.   2.   Haste   in   enforcing   de- 
segregation  would    be   dangerous. 
3.  Peace,  opinion,  and  the  life  of 
a   Sotlhe;n  White   must  be  con- 
sidered. 
Respect  For  the  Supreme  Court 
Sandy    Fetter    '58,    represented 
the  Northern  view  on  desegrega- 
tion. Before  offering  his  view,  Fel- 
'  ier  posed  two  (lueslions  which  ask- 
ed if  the  desrgre.t'ation  law  should 
have  b:en  made  at  this  time  and 
if  so,  how  should  it  be  enforced? 
Regaidless  of  the  answer  to  these 
queries,   he  fel'   the  people  must 


respect  the  decision.  "The  North 
feels  it  had  to  be  done  now  to 
bring  gradual  pressure  on  for  a 
change",  said  Fetter,  Citing  some 
examples  which  showed  the  need 
for  a  change. 

In  offering  the  Northern  view 
Fetter  repeatedly  supported  the 
desegregation  order  and  emphasiz- 
ed that  "the  best  reason  for  having 
de.scgrtg.Ttion  was  to  get  It  on  the 
record,  to  p:ovide  steady  prcs.surc. 
and  lo  keep  the  public  aware  of 
the  problem".

Opening  his  argument  for  states 
'  r  ghts.   Bill   Quillen   '56,   declared, 
I  "II  will  be  a  long  time  before  the 
'law  of  the  land'  in  principle  will 
be  the  'law  of  the  land  in  prac- 
tice' ".  Quillen  made  It  clear  that

THE  SOPH  COUNCIL 


If  the  Soplioniori'  C.'oiiiieil  were  asked  on  wliat  ^rouiKls  it  just- 
ifies its  e.\ist("iite,  the  answer  would  be  as  nebulous  as  the  orirani- 
zation  itself.  One  has  the  rii;ht  to  wonder  how  sueh  a  noble  idea 
eoiikl  result  in  sueli  an  obvious  failure.  The  reason  is  fairly  sini]jle. 
The  (louncil  has  lost  sij;ht  of  its  orii^inal  purpose.  The  leadership 
is  uneoneerned,  the  members  remain  laekadaisieal  and  the  results 
amount  to  little  more  than  feeble  attempts. 

The  unfortunate  aspect  of  the  entire  affair  is  that  the  Sojiho 
more  Couiieil  can  be  an  effective  body  serving  as  a  link  betweer 
the  upperclassmen  and  the  freshmen.  \n  ingredient  of  interest 
would  render  the  car  pool  purposeful  and  the  Frosh-Soph  Smashe; 
enjoyable. 

The  Record  advances  three  suggestions  that  would  permi 
the  Soph  Council  to  rise  to  its  full  capabilities:  1-  ,\llow  the  coun- 
cil to  elect  its  own  officers  instead  ol  ha\ing  the  alrcadv  over- 
bindened  Class  President  serve  as  Chairman;  2-  Regular  meetings 
as  well  as  joint  meetings  with  the  Freshman  Council  and  the 
Freshman  Social  Council;  3-  Permit  the  Sophomore  Council  Chair- 
man to  consult  with  the  Social  Council  or  the  College  Council 
when  a  problem  arises  re(|uiring  their  attention. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  Sophomore  Council  will  consider  these 
proposals  and  attemi5t  to  iDerform  a  more  beneficial  service  to  the 
Freshmen  and  the  college  as  a  whole. 


A  Revised  Purple  Key 


A  new  revitalized  Purple  Key  is  definitely  needed  on  the  Wil- 
liams cani]5us.  The  Cargoyle-proposed  constitution,  which  the  old 
Purple  Key  ado])ted  before  it  disbanded,  will  go  a  long  way  to- 
wards satisfying  this  need.  During  the  ]iast  years,  the  Key,  which 
consisted  ol  team  captains  and  managers,  was  non-functioning. 
Its  main  purpose  was  to  act  as  a  reception  committee  for  all  visit- 
ing athletic  teams  as  well  as  cooperating  with  the  Departinent  of 
Athletics.  Needles  to  say,  the  Purple  Key  failed  to  fulfill  these 
basic  aims. 

The  new  Gargoyle  constitution  offers  three  major  changes :  1- ) 
"It  would  be  a  Junior  organization  instead  of  automatic  member- 
ship for  captains  and  managers.  2-)  The  size  would  be  reduced 
from  a  flexible  number  aroimd  thirty  to  a  set  number  of  twelve. 
3-)  .Members  would  be  elected  to  the  Purple  Key  on  merit  only 
whether  they  be  athletes,  managers,  or  just  students  interested  in 
athletics  at  Williams." 

There  is  little  doubt  that  the  selection  of  juniors  would  make 
for  a  more  active  organization.  They  will  not  be  as  burdened  with 
other  activities  such  as  is  the  case  with  seniors.  At  the  present  time, 
the  only  honor  a  student  can  receive  at  the  end  of  his  sophomore 
year  is  selection  as  a  Junior  Advisor.  Another  wonderful  improve- 
ment is  the  reduction  in  size  which  should  build  for  a  more  efficient 
working  unit. 

Cajitainship  and  managership  under  the  old  Purple  Key  were 
equated  with  interest  in  athletics  at  Williams.  Results  have  shown 
to  the  contrary.  The  idea  of  selecting  am/  interested  student  on  the 
basis  of  merit  alone  is  in  itself  a  prestige  building  factor.  The 
many  students  that  are  sincerely  concerned  with  improving  the 
athletic  setup  will  be  able  to  put  their  enthusiasm  to  work  in  the 
new  Purple  Key. 

A  devoted,  intelligent  group  will  have  a  voice  hi  deciding 
athletic  |iolicy  through  its  two  seats  on  the  Athletic  Council.  Not 
only  that,  but  it  will  provide  the  only  direct  liason  between  the 
Athletic  Director  and  the  student  body.  This  will  give  the  students 
an  opportunity  to  make  enlightened  criticisms  that  can  lead  to 
changes  in  policy. 

One  of  the  suggestions  advanced  by  the  Gargoyle  plan  con- 
cerns Homecoming  Weekends.  On  these  occasions,  there  is  a  not- 
iceable lack  of  social  events  to  entertain  the  alumni,  their  guests, 
as  well  as  students  after  the  athletic  contests.  The  new  Purple  Key 
could  fill  this  void  by  sponsoring  dances  and  other  forms  of  enter- 
tainment. 

The  new  Purple  Key  would  be  an  autonomous  grouj)  respon- 
sible only  to  the  idea  of  improving  athletics  at  Williams.  As  such, 
with  an  enthusiastic  membership,  it  can  do  a  great  deal  for  the 
college.  The  new  constitution  seems  to  provide  a  framework  for 
an  effective  organization. 


TalcDted    Dean's    Varied    Musical   Ventures 

Attract    Equally    Wide-Ranged    Audiences 


Hi/  Siiiunil  liumli 

If  you  closed  your  eyes  it  soumled  like  an  after-dinner  con- 
cert at  a  seventeenth  eentiiry  estate  in  Fnrope,  but  with  them 
open  you  could  plainly  see  that  the  flowing  nielodv  was  coming 
from  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  Ficshmcii.  Roy  l.aiiison  had  just 
bent  over  and  extracted  a  recorder— an  F.lizabethan  llute  to  most 
pi'ople— Irom  his  bulging  briefcase.  It  was  also  obvious  that  lie 
li;mdled  this  instrument  as  adroitly  as  his  hot  clarinet,  lor  which 
he  is  better  known  in  Williams  music  circles. 

Incongruous  as  it  mav  seem  with  his  present  position.  Dean 
Lamson  is  e.vceptionallv  well  (jualified  as  a  band  leader  and  inu- 
sician.  He  plays  the  Kith  centurv  recorder  and  the  clarinet,  ami 
his  talents  extend  to  the  tenor,  alto  and  baritone  sa.\  and  to  con- 
ducting a.s  well.  His  audiences  ba\e  ranged  Iroin  a  sm;dl  group 
including  the  present  President  of  the  United  States  to  ;i  capacilv 
crowd  in  Harvard  Stadium,  and  his  musical  interests  run  from 
17tli  century  ballads  through  all  aspects  of  jazz  and  popular 
dance  nuinbers. 


ished  yet;  Eddie  Duchin,  who  needs  no  introduction;  Charlie 
Henderson,  who  wrote  "Deep  in  the  Night"  aiid  was  pianist  for 
Rudy  Valee;  "Pee  Wee"  Russell,  known  to  Nick's  and  Kddie  Con- 
don's; Wright  Uriggs,  who  was  pianist  for  the  group  and  now  lias 
his  own  orchestra  which  has  played  at  Williams  several  times; 
these  and  niauv  more  at  one  time  or  another  played  lor  the  Har- 
vardims  uliile  Rov  l.amson  w;is  the  leader. 


i         the: 
giARVARDlANS 


Then    (at  Harvard) — a  clarinet  at  his  lips 


Familiar  Names 
To  start  near  the  beginning— and  that  is  not  as  long  ago  as 
till'  word  "Dean"  implies  to  some  people— Roy  Lamsoti  was  or- 
g;uiizing  a  band.  The  first  of  se\eral,  this  one  was  at  Cambridge 
High  &  Latin  School.  The  ne.xt  was  at  Harvard  where,  besides 
playing  1st  clarinet  in  the  Harvard  Band,  the  Dean  louiul  time 
to  organize  a  large  dance  orchestra  which  he  called  the  Har- 
vartlians.  Some  of  the  names  on  the  Harvarcli;nis'  roster  are  still 
familiar  today.  Johnny  Green,  who  wrote  "Rody  and  Soul ";  Leroy 
.\nderson,  who  started  out  as  a  string  bass  player  and  hasn't  fin- 


Now  (at  Housepartics) — still  with  his  clarinet 


Oil  the  side  l^amson  served  as  leader  of  the  Gold  Coast  Or 

ehcstr;!  ol  thi'  Harvard  Instrunieiital  Cluhs,  and  I'ven  hinnd  tiim 
lor  studies,  too.  ^'ears  at  Harv;iid  p;issi'd,  and  so  did  simimers  in 
ICuropc,  pl;i\ing  first  with  a  group  of  leading  collegiate  musician! 
on  a  7()-d;i\'  Medilerraue;m  tour,  ami  then  with  his  own  Har- 
\arili;nis  in  Seaudiiiavi;i  ami  CcrmaiiN'  under  the  auspices  of  the 
International  I'"riendship  League. 

/'/(/(/(■(/  ol  W'illiamii 

Rv  this  time,  the  Ilarvardians'  Di.\ie  Band  Combo  had  played 
its  first  engagement  at  Williams  (College,  at  the  Psi  U  house  with 
an  unmoved  President  Carlield  in  atteudimce  the  whole  evening 
The  idea  of  being  Dean  here  was  about  as  far  from  his  mind  as 
possible  at  the  time. 

On  hecoming  a  tutor  at  Harvard's  .Adams  House  and  Rad- 
cliffe  ("it  was  pleasant")  .Mr.  Lamson  ;ic(|nir<'d  ;i  Ph.D.,  and 
though  it  was  in  the  field  of  l'',iiglisli,  ballads  of  the  KiOO's  worked 
their  way  in.  When  J.  P.  Ha.\ter  Hi,  then  lie;ul  of  .\daiiis  House, 
left  Harvard  to  become  president  of  Willi;uns  (College,  Roy  Lani- 
■ion  came  with  liiin.  The  war  took  the  campus'  most  traveled  mu 
■jician  back  to  Europe,  and  after  the  liberation  of  Paris,  weekends 
sitting  in  with  a  jazz  ensemble  were  not  uncommon.

A  Campus-to-Career  Case  History 


Dick  Abraham  of  Bell  Telephone  Laboratories,  here  experimenting 
with  closing  the  loop  on  a  transistor  feedback  amplifier. 


'Tm  working  with  top  names  and  top  talent" 


That's  one  of  Richard  P.  Ahraham's 
commenls  about  his  career  with  Ilell  Tele- 
phone Lahoratories  in  Murray  Hill,  N.  J. 
"In  l')Si,  after  I'd  received  my  M.S.  from 
Stanford,"  Dick  conliniies,  "I  was  inter- 
viewed by  a  nuinher  of  companies.  Of 
these  I  liked  the  Bell  Labs  interview  best 
—  the  interviewer  knew  what  he  was  talk- 
ing ahout,  and  the  Labs  seemed  a  liigh- 
calihcr  place. 

"The  Lahs  have  a  profe.ssion.il  atmos- 
phere, and  I'm  really  impressed  by  my 
working  associates.  As  for  my  work,  I've 
been  on  rotating  assignments  — working 
with  transistor  networks  and  their  meas- 
urement techniques,  studying  magnetic 


drum  circuitry,  and  doing  classified  work 
on  Nike.  This  experience  is  tremendous. 
"In  addition  to  the  job,  I  attend  Lab- 
conducted  classes  on  a  graduate  level 
several  times  a  week.  Resides  that,  the 
Labs  are  hclpinp  me  pet  a  Ph.D.  at 
Columbia  by  giving  me  time  off  to  gel  to 
laic  afternoon  classes.  Thai's  the  kind  of 
co-operation  you  really  appreciate  from 
your  company. 

"What  are  important  to  me  are  the  op- 
porhmilic-  offered  by  the  job  and  the 
work  itself.  My  wife  and  I  own  a  house 
near  Murray  Hill,  and  we've  found  a  lot 
of  friends  through  the  Labs.  All  in  all, 
I  think  I'm  in  the  right  kind  of  place." 


Dirk  Abraham  is  typical  of  the  many  young  men 
who  are  finding  their  careers  in  the  Boll  System. 
Similar  rarccr  opportunities  exist  in  the  Bell 
Telephone  Companies,  Western  EIretrir  and 
Sandia  Corporation.  Your  placement  officer  has

Early  Game  Scoring   Against    TuftS    Sextct 

Porous  Defense  Plagues 
Visiting  Jumbo  Squad 


Burlington,  Vt.,  Feb.  22  -  The 
Williams  College  basketball  team 
Journeyed  to  the  University  of 
Vermont  tonight  and  defeated  a 
Vermont  squad  by  an  Impressive 
86-68  score.  The  Ephmen  were  In 
complete  command  of  the  situa- 
tion from  the  opening  tip-off.  and 
won  going  away.  Throughout  the 
last  18  minutes  of  the  second  half. 
Coach  Al  Shaw  employed  only 
Ills  reserves  as  the  first  stringers 
threatened  to  turn  the  game  Into 
11  farce  In  the  first  half's  action. 

After  the  first  ten  minutes  the 
Ephs  were  never  again  threatened 
as  they  held  a  20-12  advantage. 
The  half  time  score  wa.s  57-22  as 
every  shot  seemed  to  find  its  way 
into  the  hoop.  Wally  Jensen  and 
Bob  BU.SS  led  the  fli'st  half  Wil- 
liams scoiing  splurge  as  they  each 
contributed  nineteen  points  in  the 
first  twenty  minutes  of  the  game, 
.lensen  wound  up  the  evening's 
work  with  a  second  half  field  goal 
10  give  him  a  total  of  twenty  one 
iJOints  and  keep  his  season's  aver- 
age hovering  close  to  the  twenty 
point  a  game  mark. 

The  rebounding  of  Jim  Symons 
and  Walt  Shipley  kept  the  Wil- 
liams control  of  the  boards  both  on 
the  offensive  and  defensive.  In  the 
second  half  Shaw  used  his  reserve 
strength  to  good  advantage  and 
i,'ave  his  regulars  a  rest  before 
I  his  Saturday's  Little  Three  game 
with  Wesleyan.  Mike  Dubroff, 
Marv  Wcinstein,  Ira  Kowal,  Char- 
lie Schweighauser,  and  Andy  San- 
tos kept  the  second  team  going 
and  failed  to  take  the  pressure  off 
a  desperate  Vermont  squad. 

Williams  scored  on  32  field  goals 
and  22  fouls.  The  Ephs  countered 
on  22  out  of  26  free  throws  for  an 
85  per  cent  average. 


Ephs  Seek   Win   In 
Favored    Swimmers 


Saturday,  Feb.  25  -  The  Tufts 
hockey  team,  seeking  Its  fourth 
win  to  bolster  a  3-11  record,  will 
face  the  Eph  Pucksters  this  after- 
noon at  3:15  on  the  college  rink. 
As  the  Jumbos  play  one  of  the 
toughest  collegiate  schedules,  their 
record  does  not  give  a  true  pic- 
ture of  their  ability.  Tufts  has 
beaten  Amherst,  New  Hampshire,  j 
and  Holy  Cross.  Eph  coach  Bill  I 
Mccormick  says  that  the  game 
should  be  a  toss-up.  He  feels  that 
with  Tuft's  weak  defense,  the  con- 
test should  be  high  scoring. 

Cook,  who  scored  a  hat  trick 
against  Dartmouth,  will  pace  the 
Ephs.  Fa.'U-skating  Doug  Poole 
and  Dick  Flood  will  complete  the 
first  line.  Captain  Bob  Bethune, 
a  two-year  letterman,  center  R.A. 
Gallun,  and  Bob  Leinbach  com- 
pose the  second  line.  Rick  Driscoll, 
a  sophomore  with  a  lot  of  poise, 
and  John  Holman  will  hold  down 
the  defensive  positions  with 
Geoige  Welles  and  Howie  Patter- 
son in  relief.  Dick  Marr  will  guard 
the  Purple  nets. 

An  aggressive  attack  charac- 
terizes Tufts'  play.  Last  year  line- 
man Whitey  Hamilton  was  the 
nation's  second  highest  scorer,  ex- 
celled only  by  Harvard's  Bob 
Cleary.  One  of  the  east's  finest 
players,  Hamilton  Is  an  excellent 
skater  and  stick  handler.  Charlie 
Cinto,  an  effective  scorer,  and 
Tom  Nolan,  an  outstanding  stick- 
man,  will  strengthen  the  visitors' 
attack.

Varsity,  Frosh  Face  Wesmen  in  Squash; 
Stafford,  Jones  To  Play  in  Top  Positions 

Saturday,  I-Y-b.  25  -  Coach  Clarence  Chaffee's  varsity  and 
freshmaii  squash  teams  travel  to  .Middlctown,  Conn,  today  to  play 
Wesleyan  rac<)uetmcn.  The  varsity  will  be  seeking  their  fifdi 
win,  against  thi-ee  losses,  while  the  frosh  squad  is  still  trying  to 
win  their  first  match. 

The  Wesleyan  varsity  has  not  made  a  veiy  iinpressive  showing 
thus  far  this  season  and  for  this  reason  is  the  underdog  today. 
The  Cardinals  lack  experience,  with  three  of  the  top  nine  men, 
.Sojiliomores.  They  have  lost  to  MIT,  Harvard,  Trinity,  .\rmy,  Dart- 
mouth, and  Amherst,  while  winning  over  Adelphi  and  Fordham. 
The  score  of  the  match  with  Amherst,  the  defending  I^ittle  Tluee 
champs,  last  Saturday  was  9-0. 

i-'resh  from  an  overwhelming  8-1  victoiy  over  Dartmouth,  the 
Ephmen  arc  out  to  icpeat  last  year's  success  over  the  Cardinals. 
Williams  thus  far  has  beaten  M.I.T.,  Trinity,  Yale,  and  Dartmouth, 
while  losing  to  Princeton,  Navy,  and  Army.  The  highlight  of  this 
year's  schedule  has  been  the  5-4  upset  victory  over  Yale  on  Win- 
ter Cariu'val  weekend. 

The  toj)  niiie  men  who  will  face  Wesleyan  in  today's  match 
are;  Ollie  Stafford,  Tom  Jones,  Scott  Wood,  Sam  Eells,  Rogers 
Southall,  John  Barton,  Tom  Shulman,  Dick  Ennis  and  Bill  Weaver.

By  Chuck  Dunkel 

Wednesday,  Feb.  22  -  The  Wil- 
liams varsity  wrestling  team  lost 
a  hard-fought  match  to  Wesley- 
an this  afternoon  14-8,  in  a  con-

Williams  jumped  into  an  8-0 
lead  against  the  visitors  from 
Middletown,  Conn.,  by  sweeping

9-2.  Jim  Hutchinson  then  defeat- 
ed Huckens  1-0,  to  add  two  more 
points  to  the  Eph  total. 

Wesleyan  Comes  Back 

Wesleyan  then  began  to  roll, 
as  Carter  Howard  lost  to  the  Car- 
dinal captain  Jim  Gramentine. 
and  Dave  Andrews  was  decisioned 
by  Kent  Davies,  before  Gene  Sul- 
livan was  defeated  by  George  Da- 
vies  to  tie  the  score  at  8-8.  Wes- 
leyan swept  the  last  two  matches 
to  record  the  win,  as  Ted  Baum- 
gardner  was  decisioned  by  Tom 
Sorenson,  and  Pete  Carney  was 
outpointed  by  his  heavier  oppo- 
nent, Jack  Dunn. 

The  Eph  frosh  displayed  fine 
team  stiength  in  downing  the  Car- 
dinals to  gain  the  first  leg  of 
the  little  three  championship.  Af- 
ter Bill  Lockwood  won  by  a  for- 
feit, Kurt  Wieneke  and  Larry  Pon- 
doin  gained  quick  pins  to  give  the 
Purple  a  12-0  lead.  Harry  Bow- 
doin  then  lost  on  a  pin.  but  Brad 
Smith  pinned  his  opponent,  and 
Dave  Moore  followed  with  a  de- 
cision to  assure  victory.  Norm 
Walker  then  lost  on  a  decision  be- 
fore Bob  Hatcher  pinned  his  hea- 
vier opponent  to  end  the  match. 


The  Cardinals  will  be  led  by  co- 
captains  Bob  Bretscher  and  Kick 
Stevens,  who  have  been  outstand- 
ing in  an  otherwise  drab  squad. 
Bretscher  swims  the  300  medley 
relay  along  with  Stevens  and  Al 
Kolb,  and  the  final  400  yard  re- 
lay with  Chip  Morgan,  Neil 
Spiingborn,  and  Bill  Caspary.  Ste- 
vens is  strong  in  the  200  yard 
breaststroke  with  Gene  Marks  al- 
so pai'ticipating  in  this  event.  The 
duo  of  Kolb  and  Larry  Marshall 
swim  for  Wesleyan  in  the  200  yard 
backstroke. 

Morgan  In  50,  100 

Morgan  will  be  the  Wesmen's 
chief  threat  in  the  50  freestyle  as 
well  as  the  100.  Opposing  him  will 
oe  co-captain  Kirt  Gardner,  Bob 
Severance  and  Tom  Kellog  in  the 
50  and  Pete  Bertine  and  Tony 
Brockleman  in  the  100.  Claude 
Broncart  and  Jerry  Weinstein  arc 
ihe  Wesleyan  choices  against  Pete 
Dietz  and  Brockleman  in  the  220 
and  440  fieestyle  races.  Eph  div- 
ers Buster  Grossman  and  Bob 
Jones  will  be  opposed  by  Beau 
Freeman  and  Tony  Gale. 

At  3:30  the  once-beaten  Wil- 
liams freshmen  will  swim  the  Wes- 
men. Paced  by  co-captains  Chip 
Ide,  in  the  50,  100  and  final  200 
relay,  and  Alex  Reeves  in  the  100 
and  200  relay,  the  yearlings  are 
also  solid  choices  to  gain  their 
fourth  win.  Jack  Hyland  will  help 
Ide  in  the  50.  Henry  Tatem  will 
swim  the  150  relay  and  the  back- 
stroke, and  Marty  Mermen  will 
lead  the  Ephs  in  the  bieastslroke. 
Ide  will  be  out  to  break  his  two 
records  of  23.1  in  the  50  and  52.3 
in  the  100  while  the  200  yard  re- 
lay team  of  Ide,  Reeves.  Frost  and 
either  Hyland  or  Mennen  may  cut 
this  year's  new  frosh  mark  of  1: 
37.9.

Fischer,  the  Harvard  sextet  re- 
mained undefeated  by  downing 
the  Williams  freshmen.  4-0,  to-

season.  After  a  shaky  first  period, 
the  Ephmen  settled  down  and  held 
their  opponents  to  one  goal. 

The  Crimson  started  fast  with 
three  first  period  goals.  On  as- 
sists from  Spud  Reilly  and  Pete

Political  Science  Department  Offers 

New  Plan  For  Honors  Degree; 

Students  Have  Two  Choices 


By   Diek   Davis 

Editor's  note: 

77i:s  artick'  is  the  third  in  a  scrirs 
comemiun  (he  new  liiinors  proKium. 
Tliis  article  will  ileal  with  the  jira- 
gram  of  the  Fiilitiial  Heieiice  De 
pnrtmcnt.  In  the  next  issue,  the  Ee- 
ttnoniies  major  anil  the  closely  allit'tl 
Political  Economy  major  leill  he  treat 
ed. 

The  Political  Science  Depait- 
ment  offers  two  normal  channels 
to  an  honois  degree,  and  in  ex- 
captional  cases,  a  third  channel 
may  be  opened  to  the  honors  as- 
pirant. As  in  the  honors  programs 
of  so  many  other  departments,  all 
candidates  for  the  honors  degree 
in  Poli-Sci  will  be  enrolled  in  a 
required  seminar  couise,  Poli-Sci 
SlOi.  This  is  the  basic  course  for 
honors  worlc,  and  deals  with  "al- 
ternative approaches  to  the  study 
of    man   and   political   society". 

After  completing  the  ground- 
worlc  course,  the  student  may 
clijose  between  the  normal  two 
and  sometimes  three  alternative 
roULCS.  Ihe  first  possibility  is  to 
taKe  three  more  seminar  courses, 
'the  oih^r  normal  alternative  con- 
sists ol  electing  a  seminar  in  the 
second  semester  of  the  junior  year, 
and  spending  tlie  senior  year  pre- 
paring a  thesis.  The  latter  course 
has  been  the  departmental  pro- 
gram in  the  past,  and  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  all  students  in  the  Class 
of  '57. 

Seminar   Requirements 

The  student  who  decides  to  ob- 
tain his  honors  degree  by  the  se- 
minar route  will  have  his  choice 
of  seminars  in  ilie  second  semes- 
ter 01  boih  his  junior  and  senior 
ycais,  when  two  seminars  are  of- 
fered. In  the  first  semester  of  the 
li)bV-58  scnool  year  (the  senior 
year  for  honors  students  in  the 
new  program)  only  one  seminar 
will  be  offeied.  The  honors  can- 
didate may  choose  freely  among 
these  seminars,  except  that  he  will 
be  expected  to  take  one  in  the 
general  field  of  domestic  politics 
and  one  in  the  general  field  of  in- 
ternational relations  or  compara- 
tive politics.  With  departmental 
permission,  the  candidate  may  re- 
ceive honors  credit  for  a  seminar 
in  another  related  department,  so 
long  as  the  "versatility"  require- 
ment (i.e.  domestic  and  interna- 
tional politics)  is  eventually  ful- 
filled. 

The  thesis  program  is  self-ex- 
planatory. Students  who  for  any 
reason  do  not  make  up  their  ir'nri 
to  embark  on  the  honors  program 
until  their  senior  year  will  be  ob- 
liged to  enter  the  thesis  plan,  ra- 
ther than  the  seminar  system.  As 
in  all  other  majors,  those  students 
who  write  a  thesis  do  not  have  to 
take  so  extensive  a  final  major 
examination  as  those  who  take 
the  seminar  route. 

Exceptional  Case 

In  exceptional  circumstances, 
and  with  special  permission,  a 
candidate  upon  completion  of  SlOl 
may  register  for  individual  reading 
and  research  in  connection  with 
an  honors  thesis  to  be  commenced 
prior  to  the  senior  year.  Such 
a  case  might  be  a  student  desiring 
to  do  graduate  research  work  or 
contemplating  a  caieer  in  govern- 
ment   service.    In   essence,    these

two  games,  appear  to  be  a  greatly 
improved  team.  Coach  Shaw  was 
definitely  not  cocky  about  tonight's 
outcome,  but  neither  was  he  pes- 
simistic. The  Cardinal's  last  vic- 
lOries  include  victories  over  Nor- 
wich 103-62,  and  M.I.T.  by  twenty 
points.  The  Engineers  had  for- 
merly beaten  Amherst.  Milewski, 
Jim  Cobbledick,  Bob  Wuerthner, 
Larry  Tremper  and  John  Watson 
compose  the  probable  Wesleyan 
starting  line-up.  Shaw  pointed  out 
that  Cobbledick  and  Wuerthue; 
are  the  boys  to  look  out  for.  They 
scored  16  and  21  points  respec- 
tively in  the  last  Williams  game. 
Frosh  Seek  Little  Three 
Haing  compiled  a  fine  9-2  re- 
cord going  into  tonight's  game, 
the  Prosh  quintet  appear  to  be 
on  their  way  to  a  Little  Tliree 
Championship.  Leading  the  team 
in  both  scoring  and  rebounds,  big 
6'  4"  Jeff  Mo:  ton  will  start  at 
center.  At  the  guard  positions  will 
be  tire  play  makers  of  the  team, 
Pete  Willmott  and  Bob  Parker. 
Both  players,  with  deadly  accur- 
acy and  good  drive-in  shots,  have 
iparked  the  team  all  year,  aver- 
aging 14  points  a  game.  At  the 
forward  spots  will  be  Bill  Hede- 
man,  ahd  Phil  Brown,  both  good 
rebounders.  Hedeman  is  averag- 
ing over  ten  points  a  game. 

students  will  spend  three  semes- 
ters rather  than  the  usual  two  in 
preparing  their  theses. 

The  normal  students  qualify  for 
honors  by  obtaining  acceptable 
marks  in  Poli-Sci  3-4  in  the  sopho- 
more year.  However,  if  Poli-Sci 
3-4  is  not  taken  until  the  junior 
year,  a  program  for  honors  work 
can  be  arranged.  As  Professor  V. 
A.  Barnett,  head  of  the  depart- 
ment says,  honors  students  are 
often  "strange  animals"  anyway, 
and  the  program  must  be  made 
flexible  for  their  needs. 

All  Political  Science  honors  se- 
minars are  open  to  honors  stu- 
dents in  other  majors,  whether  or 
not  they  desire  to  use  the  course 
for  honors  credit  or  as  an  elec- 
tive. For  most  of  these  students, 
Poli-Sci  1-2,  P.sychology  1-2,  or 
History  3-4  are  the  prerequisites. 


Phi  Betes  Offer 
Panel  Discussion 
On  Tawney  Book 

Prof.  Newhall  Explains 
Religious  Influence  on 
Rise  of  Capitalism 


Wednesday,  Feb.  22  -  Tonight 
tlie  Williams  chapter  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  held  another  in  its  series 
of  discussions  on  great  books, 
great  ideas.  R.  H.  Tawney's  book, 
■Religion  and  the  Rise  of  Modern 
Capitalism",  was  the  topic  under 
discussion.  Acting  as  chairman 
was  T.  Price  Zimmerman. 
Interplay  of  Religion 
and    Capitalism 

Robert  R.  Bottome  Jr.,  the  first 
speaker,  stated  tliat  tire  greatest 
sins  of  the  Middle  Ages  were  av- 
arice and  usury,  but  the  Reforma- 
tion changed  this.  Calvin,  he  em- 
phasized, believed  that  the  object 
of  man  was  to  glorify  God,  and 
man  could  best  do  this  by  means  of 
his  work  and  labor. 

Ogden  Nutting  then  disclosed 
that  the  Reformation  in  England 
at  the  start  was  not  a  change  in 
policy  concerning  personal  gain, 
uater  on,  in  Englaird,  "Economics 
oecame  another  department  of  hu- 
man life".  He  then  explained  that 
r'rotestants  began  to  think  that 
m  order  to  be  a  Christian,  a  per- 
son must  work  and  utilize  his  tal- 
ents. Tawney,  Nutting  stated,  said 
economic  motives  were  servants  of 
good  but  now  were  becoming  an 
undesirable  master. 

Frof.  Newhall  Outlines 
Influence  of  Ethics 

Prof.  William  Gates  stated  that 
lalluenccs  irom  economics  had  a 
gi-eater  effect  than  religious  in- 
iluences  on  the  rise  of  capitalism. 
A  person  uses  something  now  that 
will  benefit  future  generations.  He 
cited  the  example  of  the  West- 
ward movement  in  our  country, 
the  migration  brought  little  ini- 
Lial  wealth  to  the  pioneers.  But 
iheir  settlement  of  the  West  bene- 
liled  future  generations  immense- 
ly. 

Prof.  Richard  Newhall  of  the 
History  department  praised  Taw- 
ney's book  as  "a  scholarly  work 
not  intended  exclusively  to  schol- 
ars, but  quite  useful".  Prof.  New- 
hall then  explained  that  Calvin- 
ism did  not  initiate  capitalism  for 
it  was  already  well  on  its  way. 
Tawney  postulated  that  property 
cannot  be  held  without  responsi- 
bility and  production  should  be 
made  for  use,  not  for  personal  pro- 
perty.

Honor  Society  Elects 
Five  New  Members 


Saturday,  Feb.  25  -  In  le- 
cent  elections  held  by  the  Wil- 
liams chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kap- 
pa, five  members  of  the  class 
of  '56  were  named  to  the  na- 
tional college  honor  society  on 
the  basis  of  their  academic  re- 
cords through  the  first  semes- 
ter. Sigmund  Ronell  Balka,  Al- 
ec Leys  France,  Thomas  Naylor 
Prohock,  John  Michael  Hyde, 
and  Thomas  Emery  Sedgwick 
were  the  seniors  chosen  to  join 
this  exclusive  scliolastic  organi- 
zation. 


Wrestling  ... 

Mass.,  Coast  Guard,  and  Colgate, 
while  bowing  to  Tufts  and 
Springfield,  and  Wesleyan.  The 
line-up  for  tills  match  will  probab- 
ly be  the  same  as  that  which  fac- 
ed the  Wesmen  on  Wednesday. 

The  Jeffs  have  lost  only  once 
this  year,  the  defeat  coming  in  an 
early  season  match  with  Harvard. 
They  have  scored  victories  over  all 
other  rivals  since  that  time,  ex- 
cept for  the  Wesleyan  tie. 

Coach  Jim  Oslendarp  has  a  fine 
freshman  squad,  which  sports  a 
perfect  3-0  mark.  They  had  re- 
corded lop-sided  victoi-ies  over 
Tufts,  Mount  Hermon  and  Wes- 
leyan, losing  only  one  of  sixteen 
matches  in  the  process.  Due  to 
their  fine  record  and  great  ex- 
perience, they  are  favored  to  whip 
the  Jeffs  in  today's  matches.

Economics  Department  Presents 
New  System  for  Honors  Work; 
Alters  Political  Economy  Major 

by  Dick  Duiis 
Editor K  Note: 

This  iatlw  jourth  in  a  scries  of  arliclcx  on  tlic  rcnovAitcd  honors 
proffinii.  The  Economics  and  Political  Ecoiionii/  nuijors  arc  dis- 
cussed. Professor  Cutis,  who  uill  he  Poli-Ee  Honors  Chairmen 
next  i/car,  provided  the  infornintion. 

Tlicrc  arc  two  routes  to  the  de^vv  willi  lioijois  in  luoiioiiiics. 
Each  caiulklatc  will  participate  in  two  seminars  dnrin;;  the  jiniior 
year,  of  which  the  SlOl  course  -  "Vahie,  Distriliution,  and  Wel- 
fare" -  is  re<|uire(l.  This  seminar  will  norjnallv  he  taken  concnr- 
reiitly  with  the  Iseononiics  .'j  secpience  course,  hut  if  registration 
considerations  permit,  an  lionors  seition  in  Ec.  5  will  l)e  set  up 
and  the  two  courses  will  he  intei^rated.  The  prere(|nisile  course 
is  Economics  1-2,  however,  so  that  students  who  did  not  take  Ec. 

3-4   in    the   sopliomore   year   mayO . 

still  qualify   for   the   deKree   with 


Honors. 

After  finishing  this  required  .se- 
minar, the  honors  aspirant  has  a 
choice  of  seminar  courses  in  the 
second  semester.  In  the  1950-57 
school  year,  two  seminars  will  be 
offered  in  the  second  term,  one 
entitled  "Intei'natlonal  Economics 
Thejiy  and  Policy"  and  the  othi'i 
"Ecoiiumlcs  of  Development".  An- 
other seminar  will  be  added  to  tlir 
list  of  alternatives  in  1957-58. 
Juniors  Affected 

The  Junior  year  honors  requin  - 
ments  now  satisfied,  the  candi- 
date has  his  choice  of  two  alter- 
native routes  during  the  senior 
year.  He  may  write  a  thesis,  as  ha.s 
been  the  sole  possibility  in  the 
past,  or  he  may  select  two  more 
seminar  courses.  With  depart- 
mental permission,  he  may  obtain 
honors  credit  for  a  seminar  in  an- 
other department.  Hence  a  stu- 
dent Interested  in  the  economics 
of  mining  might  take  a  Geology  se- 
minar for  honors  credit  in  Eco- 
nomics. 

As  far  as  the  Junior  year  pro- 
Biuiii  goes,  the  new  honors  pian  is 
substantially  the  same  as  the  pre- 
vious one.  Thus  a  Junior  currently 
in  the  program  may  qualify  for 
the  degree  with  honors  under  the 
new  program  by  either  writing  a 
thesis  or  by  taking  two  more  se- 
minars In  the  senior  year.  It  Ls 
pointed  out  that  seminar  students 
must  lake  a  much  more  extensive 
major  examination  than  those  who 
write  a  thesis. 

Political  Economy 

The  degree  with  honors  in  Po- 
litical Economy  is  basically  th3 
same  as  in  Economics.  All  students

CC  To  Investigate  Frosh  Hours; 
Dengel  To  Head  Rules  Committee 

Monday,  Feb.  27  -  In  its  second  meeting  the  newly  formed 
College  Council  this  evening  announced  the  a|)pointn)ent  of  two 
committees  and  outlined  [jlaiis  for  the  spring  term.  The  Committees 
apporntetl  were  the  Holes,  Election,  and  Nominations  Committee 
and  a  special  group  to  investigate  hours  in  Ireshman  dorms. 

F.  R.  Dengel,  ".57,  will  ser\e  as  chairman  of  the  lUiles  Com- 
mittee. Other  members  are  Dick  Jackson,  '59,  Whitey  Kaufman.  '58, 
and  Ted  VVynn,  '58.  This  committee  will  be  in  charge  of  suggesting 
candidates  for  the  Student  Union  Committee  and  the  Honor  Sys- 
tem and  Discipline  Committee,  both  of  which  will  be  chosen  in 
next  Monday's  in<>eting.  in  addition  to  Dick  Fearon,  '57,  Vice- 
President  of  the  CC;  and  Bill  Seoble.  '57,  head  of  the  JA's,  the  Dis- 
cipline Committee  will  be  made  up  of  three  Council  members  and 
three  other  men  elected  by  the  CC  from  the  student  body. 
Frf).s7i  Hours  Commiilce 

The  Committee  to  in\estigate  hours  for  girls  in  Ireshman 
dorms  will  be  headed  by  Seoble.  The  other  members  are  Ross 
Baldessarini,  '59,  Jack  Betz,  '59,  Hank  Foltz,  '59.  Jack  Love,  58, 
Earry  Nilsen,  '58,  and  Dave  Skaff,  '59.  This  group  will  submit  a 
report  next  week  containing  suggestions  to  better  social  privileges 
for  freshmen.  The  Council  took  another  stei)  concerning  tins  prob- 
lim  by  endorsing  a  letter  to  Dean  of  Freshmen  Roy  Eamson,  writ- 
ten by  JA  Dave  C^onnolly,  '57.  The  letter  suggested  that  lecreation 
rooms  ill  the  Student  Union  be  kept  open  until  3;tK)  AM  on  Friday 
and  Saturday  evenings  of  Hoiisejiarty  weekends  and  other  impor 
tant  social  occasions.  The  purpose  of  this  extension  of  hours,  ac 
cording  to  Connolly,  is  to  give  Freshmen  "the  opportunity  to  en 
joy  a  more  varied  social  life." 

President  of  the  CC,  Dee  Gardner,'  "57,  observed  that  much  of 
the  spring  term  would  be  taken  up  in  deciding  on  the  nislung  sys- 
tem, both  in  theory  and  practice,  for  next  year.  In  next  weeks 
meeting  a  Hushing  Committee  will  be  set  uj)  in  order  to  myosti- 
gate  the  problem.  In  the  future  joint  meetings  with  the  Social 
Coimcil  will  be  held  in  order  that  house  views  on  the  subject  may 
be  presented.  Any  CC  decisions  concerning  the  rushing  system 
must  also  be  passed  by  the  SC  in  order  to  go  into  effect.  Among 
the  topics  to  be  discussed  are  dirty  rushing  and  what  to  do  about 
if,  times  for  rushing  next  fall,  and  an  investigation  ot  certain  teat- 
iircs  of  the  system  of  post-rushing  bids  which  was  inaugurated 
this  September. 

Nibcn,  Cflrbwi  Sup^f^estions 

Among  the  ideas  brought  up  in  the  meetings  was  a  proposal 
by  Nilsen  to  look  into  the  idea  of  nominating  candidates  tor  in- 
dividual  offices    (President,   Vice-President,    Representative)    in

Friday,  Feb.  24  -  The  uncer- 
tainty surrounding  the  announced 
disestablishment  of  the  local 
AFROTC  detachment  was  lifted 
this  afternoon  with  the  revelation 
that  President  Baxter  has  sent  to 
Air  Force  headquarters  a  letter 
closing  the  doors  to  the  continua- 
tion of  the  program  at  Williams 
College.  The  unit  definitely  will 
be  closed  in  June  1957. 

President  Baxter's  letter  cli- 
maxes a  long  series  of  events 
which  began  last  fall  when  rumors 
arose  that  the  detachment  would 
be  dissolved  because  it  did  not 
meet  minimum  enrollment  re- 
quirements. The  Air  Force  offi- 
cially dissolved  the  group,  along 
with  units  at  Amherst,  Harvard, 
Yale,  Princeton  and  others  De- 
cember 5. 

Official   Reverse 

FoUowinn  the  announcement  of 
the  Air  Force  decision,  official  re- 
versals jumbled  the  situation  to  an 
extent  that,  until  the  president's 
letter  today,  no  one,  including  the 
ROTC  staff  here,  knew  what  to 
expect.  Headquarters  first  stated 
that  underclassmen  would  have  no 
possible  way  to  complete  the 
course,  and  that  a  condensed 
course  was  not  permissible.  After 
Christmas  and  Just  before  mid- 
years this  stand  was  reversed  and 
sophomores  were  allowed  tc  enroll 
in  a  condensed  second  and  third 
year  course  which  would  allow 
them  to  finish  ROTC  with  the  pre- 
tipnt  jMninv  niot-p^  ^v.^  then  be  com  - 
missioned  upon  graduation. 

After  mid-terms  the  Air  Force 
announced,  through  the  office  of 
Massachusetts  Senator  Leverett 
Saltonstall,  that  the  units  which 
had  been  dissolved  might  be  con- 
tinued if  the  colleges  involved  re- 
quested.

Madrigal  Singers  of  Williams,  Wellesley 
Charm  Congregational  Church  Listeners 


Sayre  Also  Talks 
In  WCC  Meeting 


Sunday.  Feb.  26  -  The  Rev. 
Francis  B.  Sayre,  Jr.,  Dean  of  the 
National  Cathedral  in  Washing- 
ton, DC,  delivered  a  sermon  in 
Chapel  this  afternoon  on  the  im- 
portance of  self-sacrifice  in  the 
Christian  religion.  After  an  infor- 
mal supper  in  the  Lecture  Room  of 
the  First  Congregational  Church, 
Dean  Sayre  expanded  his  ideas  on 
the  role  ot  religion  in  America  to- 
day in  a  speech  and  discussion  on 
the  subject:  "How  Real  is  the  Re- 
ligious Revival?" 

Taking  his  text  from  a  passage 
in  the  Gospel  of  St.  Mark,  in  which 
Christ  tells  the  people:  "Whoso- 
ever will  come  after  me,  let  him 
deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 
cross,  and  follow  me",  the  Dean 
centered  his  sermon  about  the  cur- 
rent, widespread  misinterpreta- 
tions of  Christianity.  He  described 
the  main  error  as  ignorance  of  the 
necessity  to  deny  oneself  in  order 
to  gain  the  full  benefit  of  Christ's 
teaching. 

Sickness  of  the  Age 

Dean  Sayre  gave  evidence  of 
this  "sickness  of  the  age"  by  quot- 
ing the  .story  of  a  woman  who 
tried  to  describe  her  feelings  dur- 
ing a  visit  to  the  Meditation  Room 
of  the  United  Nations  Building  in 
New  York.  To  her,  the  room's 
sepulchral  atmosphere,  its  empti- 
ness and,  above  all,  the  absence  of 

to  forget  his  petty  differences  and 
meet  the  challenge  of  brotherhood 
through  self-denial.  She  called  this 
refusal:  "the  Leukemis  of  Non- 
committment". 

According  to  Dean  Sayre,  there 
are  two  reasons  for  our  refusal  to 
commit  ourselves  to  the  more  dif- 
ficult requirements  of  Christiani- 
ty: selfishness  and  honest  per- 
plexity. He  pointed  out  the  ease 
with  which  we  are  satisfied  with 
material  wealth  and  our  unwill- 
ingness to  give  up  physical  and 
mental  comfort  for  spiritual  wel- 
fare. However,  he  admitted  that 
many  people  honestly  cannot  see 
any  need  to  "take  the  Cross  square 
on  their  own  shoulders".  But  he 
continued:  "Many  things — even  a 
See  Page  4,  Col.  4 


Last  Sunday  afternoon  in  the  Congregational  Church  the  Wil- 
liams Singers  and  the  Wellesley  Madrigal  Singers  sang  for  an  at- 
tentive audience  of  more  than  one  hundred  music  lovers.  This 
uni(|ue  grouii  offers  a  real  treat  to  those  who  are  unfamiliar  with 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  century  music.  The  combined  chorus 
started  off  the  afternoon  with  three  English  madrigals.  One  of 
them,  especially,  deserves  to  be  quoted,  as  a  ty]3ical  unrequited- 
love  theme  of  Elizabethan  England: 

"April  is  in  my  Mistress'  face 
And  July  in  her  eyes  hath  place. 
Within  lier  bosom  is  September; 
But  in  her  heart  a  cold  December." 

The  second  part  of  the  program  i)resciited  five  lute-songs 
sung  by  soloists  from  Williams  and  Wellesley.  Judith  Houck  with 
her  light,  soft  tone  and  radiant  smile  evoked  thunderous  apjilause 
after  her  rendition  of  "It  was  a  Lover  and  his  Lasse".  Don  IJrown, 
\'ic  Parsons  and  Dave  Nevins  shone  as  the  soloists  for  Williams. 

The  final  offering  was  the  Missa  Brevis  composed  by  Diet- 
rich Biixtehude  for  the  16th  Century  Lutheran  Church  Service. 
The  size  of  the  singing  group  was  well  suited  to  the  dimensions 
of  the  music,  and  tiieir  balance  of  tone,  volume,  and  expression 
made  this  all-too-brief  piece  a  very  mo\ing  work. 

Williams  Group  Led  bi/  Nick  Wright 
Impressed  by  the  Concert,  we  determined  to  disco\er  the 
origin  of  the  Williams  Singers.  In  1954,  seven  members  of  the 
then-Freshman  Class  got  together  for  the  Inter-Fraternity  Sing; 
they  remained  an  organized  group  and  now  include  Don  Brown. 
Bill  Dutlley,  Pete  Elbow,  Bob  Goss,  Eli  Loranger.  Dave  Nevins, 
Bill  Malcolm,  Crane  Miller,  \'ic  Parsons.  Don  Smith,  Hobby 
Wright,  and  Nick  Wright,  their  capable  conduetor.  .Mthough  the 
specialty  of  the  Singers  is  music  of  the  16th  and  17th  Centuries, 
they  function  simultaneously  as  the  Williams  Octet,  and  their 
varied  repertoire  includes  many  contemporary,  po)iular  songs 
Having  planned  an  active  schedule,  the  Singers  look  forward  to 
several  concerts  later  this  year:  a  high  point  of  their  season  will 
be  the  Wellesley  Octet  F'estiyal  where  Williams,  Amherst,  Yale 
and  other  Eastern  colleges  will  be  represented.

PERSONAL  SLANT 


liij  Sim  Patterson 

\  week  aii;o  Stephen  C  Hose  .slashed  ;it  libeial  arts  ediiuatioii- 
Williaiiis  style  in  an  artich'  entitled  "Dixisioii  Ooinses  and  the 
Divided  Mind".  1  think  he  is  all  wet. 

Williams  Coilep'.  he  says,  "operates  on  the  assmnptioii  that 
students  are  too  immature  to  he  iiidi\iduals'.  Therefore,  he  con- 
tinues, the  administration  foiees  history  majors  to  take  science 
eoinses  and  vice  versa.  Generally,  he  thinks  that  the  Williams 
student  should  he  free  to  take  what  he  wants  so  that  when  he 
graduates  he  will  be  ]5re|)ared  for  a  career. 

As  I  see  it,  he  is  way  off  base.  I  would  place  students  in  three 
broad  cateirories.  One,  ]5robablv  the  great  majority,  arrives  here 
not  at  all  sure  what  he  plans  to  do  when  he  jrraduates.  The  benefits 
of  a  wide  liberal  arts  education  to  such  a  student  are  obvious.  By 
being  "forced"  to  take  coursi's  in  all  fields  he  can  choose  in  his 
junior  year  what  field  he  is  most  interested  in.  Think  what  a  time 
he  would  have  had  if  he  had  to  choose  his  major  the  dav  he  ar- 
iivcd  arid  cliangcd  !'.i::  niir.d  the  ne.\t  )ear. 

The  second  categor\'  includes  the  student  who  thinks  he  has 
his  career  all  ma])])ed  out.  only  to  change  his  mind  somewhere 
en  route.  This  is  what  happened  to  me.  Again,  the  Williams  system 
of  divisional  re(|nireinents  is  beneficial,  for  it  leaves  him  many  al- 
ternatives when  he  liuallv  chooses  his  major.  Also,  the  tact  that 
such  a  student  has  changed  his  mind  is  of^ten  attributable  to  the 
many  new  fields  that  ha\e  been  opened  up  to  him. 

Finally,  there  is  the  uncommon  student  who  has  his  life  plans 
all  made  up  when  he  arrives  and  sticks  to  thein.  Hose  e\idently 
falls  into  this  category.  Vet,  even  this  student  profits,  for  the  point 
is  that  a  liberal  arts  education,  as  I  see  it,  is  not  specifically  de- 
signed to  gi\e  a  gratluate  a  good  starting  salary.  Its  advantages 
are  iiiiieh  broader,  and  this  is  where  Hose  misses  the  boat.  It  is 
designed  to  make  a  student  diink,  and  to  think  in  many  different 
ways.  Chemistry  1-2.  for  example,  is  more  important  in  .showing 
a  way  of  thinking  than  in  showing  the  student  how  an  atom  moves. 
This  is  what  lasts,  and  this  is  what  makes  the  Williams  graduate 
so  well  educated. 

I  am  not  sure  what  Hose  wants,  but  1  want  to  go  on  record 
in  favor  of  the  divisional  ref|nirements.  They  can  be  temporarily 
painful  but.  as  1  see  it,  they  are  ultimately  beneficial.  There  are 
thousands  of  colleges  in  this  country  which  can  give  a  student  a 
direct  specialized  tiaining  for  a  career,  and  I  am  glad  Williams  is 
not  one  of  them. 


LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

I  am  much  interested  in  the  explanations  by  two  departments 
of  the  organization  of  the  new  requirements  of  the  Degree  with 
Honors.  They  correspond  to  the  educational  interests  now  pre- 
vailing among  the  members  of  the  English  and  History  Depart- 
ments and  are  presimiablv  adapted  to  the  desires  and  ambitions 
of  students  in  those  fields. 

What  striki's  ine  is  the  complete  disappearance  of  what  was 
the  prevailing  feature  in  the  Honors  Work  of  1926  and  also  of 
1936.  This  was  the  opportunity,  eagerly  demanded  by  the  students, 
to  work  independently,  inider  the  guidance  and  responsible  check- 
ing of  a  meiuber  of  the  faculty.  "Give  us  a  chance  to  work  alone, 
and  we  will  show  you  what  we  can  do."  That  was  the  slogan  of 
1925-26.  .Student  initiati\e  was  at  the  bottom  of  the  whole  system. 

Of  course  it  was  not  perfect.  Not  all  students  exhibited  ade- 
(|uate  initiative:  noi  all  members  of  the  faculty  were  capable  of 
handling  a  student  in  such  a  way  as  to  be  profitable.  But  in  scores 
of  cases  it  proved  to  be  stiimilating  and  valuable  for  lioth  the 
student  aiul  his  facidty  guide.  In  my  own  case  the  dealing  with 
Honors  students  was  one  of  the  tno.st  agreeable  and  stimulating 
features  of  my  teaching  existence  frotn  1926  until  my  retirement 
in  1938.  I  look  back  11)1011  ha|)py  memories  of  informal  vet  pene- 
trating talks  and  reports;  of  vigorous  discussion,  back  and  forth 
with  active-minded  juniors  or  seniors.  It  often  was  teaching  at  its 
best,  Mark  Hopkins  and  the  Log, 

Doubtless  the  present  system  is  more  rigorous  and  more  pro- 
found. But  there  inust  be  very  many  alumni  who  carry  in  their  me- 
mory the  recolleetious  of  those  days  when  the  student  worked  with 
his  guide,  and  did  not  merely  prepare  a  thesis.  And  some  of  the 
members  of  the  faculty  surviving  from  those  days  will  feel  that  the 
system  of  seminars  and/or  a  thesis  lacks  something  wliicli  can  ill 
be  spared. 

Tlie  present-day  student  is  evidently  quite  different  in  oitt- 
look  from  his  predecessor  of  the  twenties.  So  I  wish  him  all  suc- 
cess in  his  new  system. 

Very  sincerely, 
Theodore  C.  Smith

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECOHD: 

Several  years  ago  while  in  Alaska  we  purchased  ;iii  ,\nnv  11 
Colt  Cap  and  Ball  Pistol.  Recently  my  son,  while  removing  the 
butt  plates,  discovered  an  aged  piece  of  paper  bearing  the  follow- 
ing: "Dr.  Andrew  Smith.  40th  Mass.  \'ol  Infantry  2iid  Brigade. 
Williamstown,  Mass." 

We  are  curious  to  learn  how  this  gun  got  to  .Maska  and  won- 
dered if  maybe  you  carried  a  little  story  on  this  il  .some  of   Dr. 
Smith's  relatives  might  still  be  around  Williamstown  and  might  be 
able  to  throw  some  light  on  the  subject. 
Tlianking  you  very  kindly,  we  remain

HUSBANDS,  ANYONE? 

It  has  been  alleged  that  coeds  go  to  college  for  the  .sole  purpose 
of  finding  husband.s.  This  i.s,  of  idiirsc,  an  infamou.s  canard,  and 
I  give  fair  warning  that  small  and  spongy  a.s  I  am,  anybody  who 
ever  says  such  a  dastardly  thing  when  1  am  around  had  better 
be  prepared  for  a  soniul  hiding! 

Girls  go  to  college  for  preci.sely  the  same  reasons  as  men  do: 
tobroaden  their  horizons,  to  lengthen  their  vistas,  to  drink  at  the 
fount  of  v'isilom.  to  trail  their  fingers  in  the  main  currents  of 
American  thought.  But  if,  by  chance,  while  a  girl  is  engaged  in 
these  lofty  pursuits,  a  likol.v  looking  hnsliand  should  pop  into 
view,  why,  what's  wrong  with  that'.'  Eh'!  What's  wrong  with 
that? 

The  question  now  arises,  what  should  a  girl  look  for  in  a  hus- 
band? A  great  deal  has  been  written  on  this  subject.  Some  say 
character  is  most  important,  some  say  background,  some  say 
appearance,  some  say  education.  All  are  wrong. 

The  most  important  thing  -  bar  none  -  in  a  husband  is  health. 
Though  he  be  handsome  as  Apollo  and  rich  as  Captain 
McCutchen,  what  good  is  he  if  he  just  la.vs  around  all  day 
accumulating  bedsores  ? 


-.  msKe  ^^^^  '^  ^^'^'^'^  of  wind md  limb.. 


The  very  first  thing  to  do  upon  meeting  a  man  is  to  make  sure 
that  he  is  sound  of  wind  and  limb.  Before  he  has  a  chance  to 
beguile  you  with  his  wit  and  charm,  slap  a  thermometer  in  his 
mouth,  roll  back  his  eyelids,  yank  out  his  tongue,  palpate  his 
thorax,  rap  his  patella,  ask  him  to  straighten  out  a  horseshoe 
with  his  teeth.  If  he  fails  to  pa.ss  these  few  basic  tests,  phone 
for  an  ambulance  and  go  on  to  the  next  prospect. 

If,  however,  he  turns  out  to  be  physically  fit,  proceed  to  the 
second  most  important  requiroment  in  a  husband.  I  refer  to  a 
sense  of  humor. 

A  man  who  can't  take  a  joke  is  a  man  to  be  shunned.  There  are 
several  simple  tests  to  find  out  whether  your  prospect  can  take 
a  joke  or  not.  You  can,  for  example,  slash  his  tires.  Or  burn  his 
"Mad"  comics.  Or  steal  his  switchblade.  Or  turn  loose  his  pet 
raccoon.  Or  shave  his  head. 

After  each  of  these  merry  pranks,  laugh  gaily  and  shout 
"April  Fool!"  If  he  replies,  "But  this  is  November  28,"  or  some- 
thing equally  churlish,  cross  him  off  your  list  and  thank  your 
lucky  stars  you  found  out  in  time. 

But  if  he  laughs  silverly  and  calls  you  "Little  minx!"  then 
put  him  to  the  next  test:  Find  out  whether  he  is  gentle. 

The  easiest,  quickest  way  to  ascertain  his  gentleness  is,  of 
course,  to  look  at  the  cigarette  he  smokes.  Is  it  mild?  Is  it 
clement?  Is  it  humane?  Is  it  balm  to  the  palate?  Does  it  minister 
tenderly  to  the  taste-buds?  Does  it  coddle  the  nerve-ends?  Is  it 
the  perfect  accompaniment  to  today's  easier,  breezier  living? 
Is  it  genial?  Is  it  bright  and  friendly  and  full  of  dulcet  pleasure 
from  cock-crow  till  the  heart  of  darkness? 

Is  it,  in  short,  Philip  Morris? 

If  Philip  Morris  it  be,  then  clasp  the  man  to  your  bosom  with 
hoops  of  steel,  for  you  may  be  sure  that  he  is  gentle  as  a  summer 
breeze,  gentle  as  a  mother's  kiss,  gentle  to  his  very  marrow. 

And  now,  having  found  a  man  who  is  gentle  and  healthy  and 
blessed  with  a  sense  of  humor,  only  one  thing  remains:  namely, 
to  make  sure  he  will  always  earn  a  handsome  living.  That, 
fortunately,  is  very  simple.  Just  enroll  him  in  Engineering.

54.0  was  followed  by  Andy  Smith's 
50.6,  and  anchor  man  Bill  Fox 
duplicated  Smith's  time,  giving 
the  Ephs  a  total  time  of  3:26.2. 
This  was  not  good  enough  for  the 
final  heat,  however,  because  only 
the  first  two  teams  in  each  heat 
were  qualified,  and  both  Manhat- 
ten  and  St.  John's  nosed  the  Pur- 
ple out.  Cornell  and  Brown  fin- 
ished behind  Coach  Tony  Plansky's 
quartet. 

The  meet  was  highlighted  by  the 
versatile  performance  of  Arnle 
Sowell  of  the  University  of  Pitts- 
burgh. Sowell  won  the  1000  yard 
race,  tied  for  third  in  the  broad 
jump,  and  anchored  Pitt's  two- 
mile  relay  team  to  a  new  meet  re- 
cord. Another  sterling  performance 
was  made  by  John  Haines  of  Penn, 
who  equalled  the  world's  record 
for  the  60  yard  dash.  In  the  team 
scores,  Manliatten  edged  Villanova, 
by  a  score  of  36  points  to  34,  and 
"Ironman"  Sowell  led  Pitt  to  a 
third  place  with  15  and  one-half 
points.

Team  gained  the  first  leg  of  the  league  champion.ship  by  defeating 
the  Wesle\'an  Inosh.  .S3-70. 

Williams  got  off  to  an  earlx'  lead  and  led  throughout  the 
loosely  played  first  half.  \\'esle\an's  hopes  for  vietory  suffered  a 
severe  setbaek  when  starting  gnard  Diek  (lassie  wrenched  his 
knee  mid-way  throngh  the  half.  The  l'nr])le  led  3.5-27  at  the  inter- 
mission.

Wesleyan  rallied  early  in  the  seeond  half  and  managed  to  cut 
the  Ei)b  lead  to  two  ]5oints.  |ay  (;()l)blediek  then  sank  two  foul 
shots  to  knot  the  seore  at  45-4.5,  before  Hob  Hnss  hit  on  a  twisting 
hook  shot  to  giye  Williams  the  lead  again.  |im  Symons  followed

The  Williams  Frosh  displayed  good  teamwork  and  excellent

Taft  Stops  Frosh,  6-2; 

Piper  Scores  Twice 


Clinton,  N.Y.,  Feb.  29  -  The 
Williams  hockey  squad  will  try 
to  beat  an  improved  Hamilton 
team  today  for  the  second  time  of 
the  season.  Having  beaten  Am- 
herst, A.I.C.,  M.I.T.,  and  Lehigh, 
Hamilton  carries  a  4-8  record. 

Captain  Pickering  and  center 
Bill  Scoones,  Hamilton's  high 
scorer,  will  lead  the  home  team. 
Dick  Lombard  has  been  moved  up 
to  the  first  line  for  the  Ephmen 
to  play  with  Dave  Cook  and  Dick 
Flood.  Plaqued  with  injuries,  Lom- 
bard has  played  in  only  three 
games  but  scored  against  Middle- 
bury last  week. 

The  Williams  Freshmen  lost  to 
a  spirited  Taft  sextet,  6-2,  in  a 
slow  fame  marked  with  fourteen 
penalties  on  Monday,  February  27. 
Russ  Ingersoll  paced  the  victors 
with  two  goals,  while  John  Beebe, 
Rodger  Hartley,  Ed  Ernst,  and 
Hersh  Fryberger  tallied  one  apiece 
for  the  Watertown,  Conn.  team.

both  Williams  goals,  twice  assisted 
by  Gerry  Higgins.  After  splitting 
the  Red  defense.  Piper  scored  at 
4:49  of  the  second  period,  to  make 
the  score  2-1.  At  4:90  of  the  final 
frame,  Piper  took  Higgins'  pass 
and  drove  it  into  the  net  from 
fifteen  feet  out.

Little  Three  wrestling  champions. 
Wrestling  for  the  varsity  in  the 
123-lb.  class,  John  Evans  lost  a 
decision  to  Amherst's  Bill  Daniel- 
son.  However,  the  Ephs  came  back 
to  win  the  next  two  bouts.  Ted  Mc- 
Kee  won  a  10-1  decision  over  Dick 
Danielson  and  Jim  Hutchinson  up- 
set Jim  White,  7-4.  After  Carter 
Howard  was  pinned  by  Amherst's 
Bob  Thompson,  Dave  Andiew  won 
an  8-3  decision  over  Ernie  An- 
drews to  put  the  Ephs  in  front, 
8-7. 

Carney  Pins  For  Ephs 

In  the  next  bout,  Pete  Carney 
pinned  Amherst's  Dave  Stowe  in 
one  of  the  best  events  of  the 
match.  Wrestling  one  of  his  first 
bouts  ih  the  167  division,  Carney 
got  the  pin  after  40  seconds  of  the 
second  period  had  elapsed.  Lead- 
ing now  by  12-7,  the  Ephs  went  on 
to  lose  the  match  as  both  Ted 
Baumgardner  and  Harry  Nichols 
were  defeated  by  their  Jeff  oppo- 
nents. The  final  score  for  the 
match  read,  13-12,  in  favor  of  Am- 
herst. 

Things  began  to  look  up  for 
Williams  as  the  freshmen  took  to 
the  mats  to  try  to  cinch  the  Little 
Three  crown.  In  the  first  match. 
Bill  Lockwood  defeated  Dick  Jim 
by  a  score  of  4-1  to  set  the  Ephs 
out  in  front.  In  the  130  class, 
Kurt  Wieneke  pinned  Pete  Gar- 
son  at  5:31  of  the  second  period. 
The  Eph  grappler  was  in  complete 
command  and  scored  the  pin  with 
a  three  quarter  nelson.  Williams' 
Larry  Pond,  wrestling  at  137,  scor- 
ed the  Ephs'  second  pin  at  2:10 
of  the  first  period  on  another 
three  quarter  nelson. 

Ephs  Get  Two  More  Pins 

Harry  Bowdoln  and  Brad  Smith 
continued  the  Williams  domination 
over  the  Jeffs  as  they  botli  de- 
cisioned  their  opponents.  The  Eph 
freshmen's  third  pin  of  the  after- 
noon came  in  the  167  division  as 
Dave  Moore  won  with  only  six  sec- 
onds left  in  the  second  period.  Ted 
Sage  came  through  with  a  6-1 
victory  in  the  177  class  followed  by 
the  unlimited  bout  which  saw  Bob 
Hatcher  end  the  meet.  Hatcher 
had  a  takedown  and  a  near  fall  in 
the  first  period  and  went  on  to  pin 
at  4:63.  Thus  the  freshmen  con- 
cluded a  perfect  season  with  a 
25-0  shutout  over  Amherst. 


By  Simeral  Bunch 

Saturday,  Feb.  25  -  The  Williams 
varsity  and  freshman  swimming 
teams  successfully  passed  tlie  first 
barrier  to  becoming  Little  Three 
Champions  as  they  defeated  their 
corresponding  Wesleyan  teams  this 
afternoon  50-34  and  48-26  respec- 
tively. The  high  point  of  the  day 
was  the  first  race,  the  varsity  300 
yard  medley  relay  where  the  Wil- 
liams team  of  Pete  Lewis,  Bob  Sev- 
erance and  co-captain  Bill  Jenlcs 
lowered  the  college,  pool  and  New 
England  record  to  2:54.4,  which  is 
2.7  seconds  under  the  old  mark  of 
2:57.1  set  by  Dave  Byerly,  Charlie 
Douglas  and  ace  freestyler  Dick 
Martin  of  Williams  in  1953. 

Williams  took  seven  of  the  ten 
first  places  in  the  meet,  most  of 
them  by  a  healthy  margin.  Peter 
Dietz  won  the  220,  co-captain  Kirt 
Gardner  took  the  50,  Bruno  Quin- 
son  pulled  steadily  ahead  to  win 
the  individual  medley  and  the  400 
yard  freestyle  relay  team  of  Gard- 
ner, Severance,  Dietz  and  Jenks 
easily  took  the  event  in  3:34.2.  Bob 
Jones,  Evan  Williams  and  Barry 
Buckley  received  second  places  for 
the  Muirmen. 

Two  More  Records 

Pete  Lewis  also  won  the  200  yai"d 
backstroke  in  a  record-breaking 
2:19.0  and  Buster  Grossman  broke 
his  own  scoring  record  in  the  dive 
with  113.12  points  for  8  dives.  Both 
are  college  and  pool  records. 

Unlike  the  former  record-hold- 
ing 300  yard  medley  relay  team, 
this  afternoon's  threesome  had  no 
individual  star  who  was  primarily 
responsible  for  the  record  perform- 
ance. Lewis,  Severance  and  Jenks 
each  contributed  about  equally  to 
the  race,  the  fastest  ever  seen  in 
the  local  pool,  with  Jenks  hitting 
the  finish  a  full  lap  ahead  of  the 
Wesleyan  anchor  man. 

With  six  wins  under  its  belt,  the 
team  goes  to  Amherst  next  week- 
end in  quest  of  a  final  dual  meet 
win  of  the  season  and  the  Little 
Three  crown. 

Reeves    Lowers   College    Mark 

Two  records  fell  in  the  freshman 
meet  as  co-captain  Alex  Reeves 
lowered  the  freshman  and  college 
record  in  the  150  yard  individual 
medley  with  a  1:36.8  and  Henry 
Tatem,  after  winning  the  100  yard 
backstroke,  went  on  under  offi- 
cial timing  to  lower  the  freshman 
200  yard  backstroke  record  to  2: 
22.8.  The  old  freshman  record  in 
the  individual  medley  was  1:41.3 
and  the  college  record  was  1:38.0. 
The  old  freshman  200  yard  back- 
stroke was  2:26.2,  set  by  Pete  Lew- 
is in  1952. 

After  stai'ting  out  with  a  dis- 
qualification in  the  150  medley 
relay  the  freshman  squad  snapped 
back  with  six  wins  in  the  next 
events.  Co-captain  Chip  Ide  was 
high  point  man  with  wins  in  the 
50  and  100  in  23.3  and  52.9. 
Swept  Two 

Although  the  frosh  had  four  of 
the  seven  possible  second  places, 
the  team  swept  only  the  50  with 
Ide  and  Marty  Mennen  and  the 
200  breast  with  Scott  Lowry  and 
Peter  Culman.  The  final  relay 
team  won  easily  in  a  time  of  1: 
38.0,  less  than  one  second  above 
the  freshman  record  in  the  event. 

With  wins  over  the  Rensselaer 
frosh,  Albany  Academy,  and 
Hotchkiss  and  one  loss  to  an  ex- 
tremely powerful  Deerfield  squad, 
the  Eph  freshmen  travel  to  Am- 
herst this  Saturday  for  the  final 
meet  of  the  season  with  the  hope 
that  they  will  return  with  the  Lit- 
tle Three  Fi-eshman  Swimming 
championship.  A  post-season  con- 
test will  find  a  four-man  400  yard 
relay  team  entered  in  the  fresh- 
man event  at  the  New  Englands 
where  it  is  expected  that  the  Ephs 
will  set  a  new  record  if  practice 
times  can  be  repeated  under  pres- 
sure.

Fourth  Faculty  Lecture  Features 
Slote  Talk  on  ^Creative  Writing 


Professor  Sees  Decline 
In  Quality  of  Writings 
In  Last  30  Years 


Thursday.  Feb.  23  -  Mr.  Alfri'd 
H.  Slote  delivered  the  fourth  in  a 
series  of  faculty  lectures  today  be- 
fore a  capacity  crowd  in  the 
Thompson  BioloBy  Laboratory 
The  .sub.iect  of  his  talk  was  an 
analysis  of  present  day  creati\i' 
writing. 

Mr.  Slote  .stated  that  contem- 
porary writers  are  not  writing  as 
well  as  tho.se  of  twenty  and  thirty 
years  ago.  At  that  time  writers 
were  usually  workers  or  newspaper 
reporters  wlio  lived  the  stories 
that  they  wrote,  whereas  today's 
writers  tend  to  be  college  profes- 
sors who  are  forced  to  get  their 
story  materials  second  hand  out  of 
books.  He  added  that  novel  writing 
is  one  of  the  few  fields  of  creative 
writing  that  can  be  learned.  Poets, 
dramatists  and  short  story  writers 
are  born  and  not  made. 

With  a  recapitulation  of  his 
most  recent  literary  effort.  Slote 
emphasized  that  a  writer  must 
face  the  adventiu-e  of  creativity 
with  a  strong  back,  lots  of  confi- 
dence and  .something  to  say.  It  Is 
only  after  years  of  writing  that 
the  .subconscious  becomes  sponta- 
neous enough  to  alleviate  some  of 
the  tremendous  work,  concentra- 
tion and.  at  times,  frustration  of 
creative  work.

Wide  Seminar  Choice 

If  the  honors  aspirant  chooses 
to  continue  the  seminar  program, 
he  shall  take  two  .seminars  in  his 
senior  year.  He  may  select  these 
seminars  trom  chose  olfereo  in 
the  Economics,  Political  Science, 
or  Political  Economy  Departments. 
Both  seminars  may  not,  however, 
be  taken  in  the  same  department. 
In  the  1957-58  .school  year,  the 
Political  Economy  Department  will 
offer  one  seminar.  S105.  called  an 
"Area  Seminar".  This  cour.se  con- 
cerns the  study  of  the  political 
and  economic  problems  of  a  se- 
lected foreign  area,  such  as  the 
IVIiddle  East. 

If  the  student  prefers  the  spe- 
cialization that  accompanies  thesis 
work,  he  may  write  a  thesis  under 
the  direction  of  a  member  of  ci- 
ther the  Economics  or  the  Political 
Science  Department. 


CC  elections  rather  than  giving  out 
offices  in  the  order  of  number  of 
votes  received.  Arne  Carlson  '57. 
suggested  the  idea  of  having  pri- 
maries in  class  elections  in  order 
to  narrow  the  field  of  nominees 
down  to  a  more  feasible  number 
and  to  avoid  vote-spreading.  Botli 
proposals  were  referred  to  the 
Elections  Committee  for  considera- 
tion. 

President  Gardner  brought  up 
several  letters  from  other  colleges 
regarding  conferences  to  be  held 
this  March.  The  Council  expressed 
the  desire  that  students  interested 
in  attending  a  conference  of  five 
small  New  England  colleges  at 
Bowdoin.  March  9.  10  contact  their 
CC  reps.  The  conference  will  con- 
cern mutual  problems  of  small 
colleges.  There  is  no  fee.

season-long  observance  in  the  Mu- 
sic Department  series  of  concerts

poser's birth". 

Concert   to  Feature   Schuman 

Described  as  "a  powerful  sonata 
In  a  tragic  vein."  Beethoven's  "So- 
nata in  D  Minor"  will  further 
highlight  the  concert.  "Scenes 
from  Childhood"  by  Schuman  is 
a  suite  of  short  pieces  depicting  e- 
vents  and  experiences  in  the  lives 
of  children.  Mr.  Nollner  goes  on  to

Appears  Frequently  In  Chapin 

Coming  to  Williams  in  1950.  Mr. 
Nollner  is  a  graduate  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  California  and  the  Trin- 
ity   College    of     Music.     London. 
Since  coming  to  Williams,  he  has 
appeared   frequently   as   a  pianist 
in  Chapin  Hall,  including  an  ap- 
j  pearance  with  the  Berkshire  Sym- 
■  phony  Orchestra  in  a  performance

moment  of  silence — can  carry  us 
bi'yond  ourselves  to  the  endless 
horizon  ...  to  the  challenge  of  the 
Cross."  He  concluded  by  .saying 
that  we  must  accept  this  challenge 
because  the  purpose  of  Christiani- 
ty is  "The  restoration  of  him  who 
has  dared  to  trust  beyond  him- 
self". 

After  the  supper.  Dean  Sayre 
spoke  on  the  current  religious  re- 
j  vival.  He  said.  ". . .  it  is  obvious 
and  undeniable  that  there  is  a 
religious  revival  in  the  United 
States,  at  least  in  a  popular  .sense", 
but  he  doubted  its  depth.  He  noted 
the  common  use  of  religion  by  oui' 
politicians  as  a  "bulwark  of  de- 
mocracy", and  declared  that.  "If 
we  think  of  it  as  an  instrument  of 
national  security,  it  will  boomer- 
ang".

Dean's  speech  was  a  lively  one, 
touching  on  many  fields  of  inter- 
est ouUside  of  religion,  including 
the  problems  of  segregation  and 
Communism.  These  conferences 
are  designed  to  use  religion  as  a 
basis  for  the  discussion  of  topics 


in  many  areas  of  modern  life 
which  should  be  of  concem  to  all, 
Tlie  next  one  is  scheduled  for 
March  11.  and  the  WCC  hopes  to 
attract  a  large  number  of  stu- 
dents with  varying  opinions  to  ex- 
press their  views.

Editor's  note 

This  is  the  fifth  ill  a  scries  of  articles  cxpltiiuiiij^  the  renova- 
ted honors  pro^i^ram,  and  deals  with  the  I'hi/sics  and  Mathematics 
Departments. 

Till'  decree  with  honors  in  Pliysics  should  be  tiikcn  l)y  those 
quahlic'd  aucl  particularly  by  thoso  students  inlcndinj;  to  puisne 
a  career  in  enf;ineering  or  to  do  graduate  work  in  Physics.  In  the 
past,  honors  candidates   have  been   compelled   to  participate   in 

nidivldual  study  In  a  special  field,  O 

usually  concerned  with  some  ad 


vanced  experimental  problem,  and 
U)  culminate  their  work  in  a  the- 
sis. Students  in  the  Class  of  1957 
will  follow  this  plan. 

BeBlnning  with  the  CUuis  of 
1958,  honors  aspirants  will  nor- 
mally follow  a  different  program, 
that  of  taking  part  in  four  honors 
seminars.  In  his  Junior  year  the 
student  will  take  Physics  5-S6, 
Physics  11-SIOl!,  and  Mathema- 
tics 5-8. 

Junior,   Senior   Seminars 

Physics  S6,  a  course  In  Atomic 
and  Nuclear  Physics,  is  of  the  se- 
minar variety.  Students  must  be 
taking  or  have  taken  Physics  3-4 
to  take  this  course,  though  honors 
students  in  other  departments  may 
be  granted  permission  to  replace 
this  requirement  by  some  other 
pertinent  qualification.  S102  is  en- 
titled "Advanced  Electronic  Cir- 
cuits", and  is  closely  correlated 
with  the  S6  course.  Both  these 
courses  aie  required  of  honors 
candidates  in  Physics,  and  credit 
will  not  be  given  for  both  these 
and  the  regular  Physics  6  and  12 
courses.  Mathematics  5-6  is  re- 
quired lor  the  degree  with  honors 
In  Physics. 

In  the  senior  year,  students  will 
normally  lake  the  required  se- 
quence course.  19-20,  and  the  hon- 
ors course.  S103-S104.  These  are 
both  seminar  courses,  required  of 
honors  candidates.  Credit  will  not 
be  granted  for  both  S103  and  Phy- 
sics 8. 

The  the.sts  route  In  Physics  hon- 
ors work  Is  still  a  possibility.  But 
starling  in  1957-58,  when  the  sen- 
ior honors  seminars  are  first  of- 
fered, an  honors  candidate  will  be 
granted  permission  lo  elect  the 
thesis  route  only  under  the  un- 
usual circumstances  where  this 
course  is  the  best  choice  in  light 
of  his  future  plans.

both  fre.shman  octets,  who  made 
successful  debuts  at  the  Frosh 
dance  over  Winter  Carnival,  will 
sing.  The  cocktail  party  will  end 
at  six-thirty  in  time  for  everyone 
to  dine. 

Stuart  Plays 

At  nine  o'clock  activities  will 
resume  with  the  big  dance  lo  be 
held  in  the  Student  Union.  Ralph 
Stuart  and  his  band,  prominent 
among  social  circles  in  the  New 
England  area,  will  provide  the  mu- 
sic. The  semi-formal  affair  will 
end  at  twelve. 

Varnum  expressed  hopes  that 
about  150  couples  will  attend  the 
dance  and  said  the  response  to 
plans  had  been  good  so  far.  Those 
serving  on  the  committee  were 
freshman  president  Bruce  Lister- 
man,  fre.shman  representative  lo 
the  CC  Hank  Foltz,  and  Kurt  Wie- 
neke.  Larry  Nilsen,  sophomore 
president,  is  also  a  member  of  the 
committee.  Tickets  may  be  ob- 
tained by  conlacting  Varnum  at

of  the  committee.

Social  Council  Elects  Winnacker,  Tucker; 
Dean  Brooks  Offers  Agenda  For  '56-57 


Tuesday,  Feb.  28  -  The  results 
of  tonight's  elections  in  the  Social 
Council  installed  John  Winnacker 
'57.  as  new  SC  president  and  Jack 
Tucker  '57,  as  secretary-treasurer. 
This  '56-57  delegation  of  the  SC 
Is  composed  of  the  15  recently 
elected  house  presidents.  Winn- 
acker represents  the  Saint  House, 
while  Tucker  heads  the  Theta 
Delts. 

Besides  Winnacker,  Mike  ErlcK- 
son,  Sandy  Macomber  and  Dave 
Hilliard  were  also  nominated  for 
the  presidency.  The  uasuccessful 
nominees  for  Tucker's  Job  include 
Macomber,  Hilliard,  Erickson,  and 
Jim  Smith. 

President's  Duties 

As  outgoing  SC  president  Bob 
Bethune  '56,  explained,  the  presi- 
dent has  two  main  duties.  First, 
he  organizes  and  runs  the  SC 
meetings.  Second,  he  has  a  seat 
on  the  CC,  in  order  to  act  as  a 
liaison  between  the  two  groups. 
The  secretary-treasurer  is  respon- 
sible for  writing  up  and  distribut- 
ing the  minutes  of  the  meetings, 
and  also  for  certain  financial  mat- 
ters, such  as  the  collection  of  dirty 
rushing  fines. 

Hcvlng  settled  the  organization- 
al aspects  of  the  '56-'57  SC,  the 
new  members  then  heard  advice 
for  the  coming  year  from  three 
.sources;  outgoing  prexy  Bethune, 
Mike  Wheeler  who  was  on  the  SC 
last  year,  and  Dean  R.  R.  R- 
Brooks. 

Bethune   Speaks 

The  first  to  address  the  group 
was  Bethune.  He  proposed  that 
the  primary  problem  that  will  con- 
front this  delegation  will  be  rush- 
ing. Two  aspects  of  this  question 
must  be  faced  during  the  coming 
year:   first,  an  attempt  miut  be

cliecked  a  second  half  Eph  rally  to  take  the  iirst  game  between 
the  two  S(|nads,  61-57.  .'\lso  in  their  last  game  ol  the  year,  the 
I'losh  will  lace  Amherst  at  6:30  in  a  game  that  will  decide  that 
Little  Three  Title.  Both  teams  have  beaten  VVesleyan,  but  have 
iie\cr  met  each  otlier. 

^^-. — , >J     In  eighteen  games  the  Ephmen 

have  dropped  only  five,  while  the 
Sabrina's  have  lost  six  in  twenty- 
one  encounters.  Amherst  losses  in- 
clude Harvard,  Yale,  M.I.T.,  Colby, 
and  U.  of  Mass.,  and  considering 
their  difficult  schedule,  they  have 
done  well,  winning  ten  of  their 
last  eleven  games. 

Amherst  Uses  Full  Press 
Using  the  full  court  press  which 
has  woiked  so  effectively,  the  Am- 
herst squad  should  give  the  Shaw- 
men a  lot  of  trouble  tonight.  They 
held  the  Ephmen  to  twenty  points 
in  the  first  half  of  their  previous 
encounter,  and  the  big  question 
tonight  will  be  whether  the  Purple 
quintet  has  learned  how  to  get 
around  the  frustrating  full  press. 
As  Coach  Shaw  said,  "we  can't 
make  any  mistakes  in  this  one", 
for  a  sloppily  played  game  would 
turn  the  encounter  into  a  rout. 

The  big  men  in  the  Amherst  at- 
tack will  be  Captain  Doug  Haw- 
kins, 6'  5"  center,  who  scored 
twenty  against  the  Ephmen,  and 
forwards  Bill  Warren  and  Dick  An- 
derson, both  6'  5".  Warren  scored 
sixteen  and  Anderson  twelve  in 
their  61-57  triumph,  with  Ander- 
son fouling  out.  Closing  out  the 
starting  five  will  be  Phil  Hastings 
and  Kiff  Knight,  at  the  guard 
positions.  Thej  did  little  scoring  in 
the  first  game,  but  they  are  the 
play  makers  of  the  team. 

Jensen,  Buss  Lead  Purple 
Coach  Al  Shaw  announced  that 
he  will  stick  with  his  regular  start- 
ing line-up  tonight,  though  for  a 
while  it  was  dubious  whether  the 
team's  co-captain,  high  scorer  and 
play  maker,  Wally  Jensen  would 
be  ready  to  play.  Jensen  injured 
his  arm  badly  against  Weslejan, 
but  the  outstanding  guard  is  ex- 
pected to  be  ready  for  tonight.  He 
is  the  team's  leading  scorer  with 
349  points,  and  is  second  in  Wes- 
tern Mass.  in  that  department.  The

nounced tonight  al  the  annual 
Williams  Outing  Club  banquet  that 
Bill  Martin  has  been  elected  the 
new  woe  president  for  1956  to

other  top  positions  were  also  filled 
as  Charlie  Gibson  was  chosen  vice- 
president,  Don  Morrison,  secretary, 
and  Ted  Graham,  treasurer.  These 
men  will  in  turn  appoint  the  heads 
of  the  various  WOC  Committees,

ing, and  second,  the  SC  should 
try  to  see  that  "nobody  is  left 
over"  after  rushing  next  fall. 

The  second  speaker,  Mike  Whee- 
ler, commented  on  the  findings  of 
the  various  SC  committees  which 
have  operated  this  year.  He  began 
with  the  O'Brien  Committee  post- 
rushing  plan  which  was  adopted 
la.st  year.  Under  the  O'Brien 
clause,  the  houses  are  urged  to  pick 
up  the  few  men  left  over,  on  a 
voluntary  basU.  Wheeler  deplored 
the  fact  that  "this  year  the  spirit 
was  lacking".  He  expressed  a  fur- 
ther belief  "that  it  will  always  be 
lacking"  if  post-rushing  is  kept 
on  the  voluntary  basis.

Committee  Withholds 
Comments  On  Plan 


Saturday,  Mar.  3  -  The  faculty 
committee,  which  has  been  re- 
studying  the  cut  system,  has  com- 
pleted its  deliberations  and  has 
passed  on  its  recommendations  to 
the  faculty,  according  to  Mr.  Wil- 
liam H.  Pierson  who  heads  the 
committee. 

Mr.  Pierson  also  stated  that  the 
faculty  has  had  one  meeting  at 
which  the  new  plan  was  discussed. 
Another  meeting  on  the  subject 
is  planned  in  the  near  future. 

The  new  faculty  proposal  comes 
as  a  result  of  student  disagreement 
with  a  previous  faculty  plan  of- 
fered earlier  in  the  academic  year. 
There  has  been  no  announcement 
as  to  the  content  of  the  new  plan. 
Possibly  it  embodies  sections  of 
both  the  former  faculty  plan  and 
aspects  of  the  Gargoyle  cut  sys- 
tem plan.

Clifford  Accepts  Colby  College  Bid 
To  Head  '56  Grid  Coaching  Staff 


Monday,  Feb.  27  -  The  members 
of  the  senior  class  who  met  to- 
night in  Jesup  Hall  were  address- 
ed by  Mr.  Charles  Hall  '15,  Pro- 
fessor Fred  Stocking  of  the  Eng- 
lish Department,  and  class  presi- 
dent Tom  Yankus.  Mr.  Hall,  who 
is  the  Williams  alumni  secretary 
explained  the  senior  class  endow- 
ment insurance  program. 

Tlie  insurance  program,  which 
is  independent  of  the  alumni  fund, 
calls  for  an  annual  premium  pay- 
ment of  nine  dollars  for  twenty 
five  years,  at  the  end  of  which 
time  the  money  Is  to  be  turned 
over  to  the  college.  Mr.  Hall  sug- 
gested that  the  program,  which  is 
to  go  into  effect  before  gradua- 
tion. Is  the  "easiest  way  to  Im- 
plement the  class  gift". 

Professor  Stocking  gave  a  brief 
outline  of  the  actual  graduation 
ceremony,  and  reminded  the  sen- 
iors that  permanent  class  officers, 
which  Include  the  president,  a- 
gent.  and  historian,  must  be  elect- 
ed  before    spring    vacation.   The

seniors  must  also  choose  two  mar- 
shals, w'lo  are  bestowed  with  the 
honor  of  leading  their  classmates 
in  the  commencement  and  bac- 
calaureate processions. 

Stocking  pointed  out  that  "sen- 
ior class  day",  which  is  scheduled 
for  Friday.  June  8,  has  deteriorat- 
ed into  a  "disorganized  brawl". 
Stocking  recommended  that  the 
traditional  class  day  ritual,  which 
involves  planting  Ivy,  reading  an 
"ivy  poem",  and  di'opping  a  time- 
piece from  the  chapel  tower,  be 
transferred  to  the  morning  of 
graduation  day,  June  10. 


Tuesday.  Feb.  28  -  Colby  College 
today  announced  that  Mr.  Robert 
Clifford  has  been  appointed  head 
football  coach  and  will  assume  his 
duties  in  the  fall  of  1956.  Besides 
his  football  post.  Clifford  will  be 
a  golf  coach  at  Colby.  Coach  Clif- 
ford has  spent  the  last  two  years 
as  assistant  football  coach,  assis- 
tant swimming  coach,  and  fresh- 
man golf  coach  here  at  Williams. 
The  opportunity  to  assume  the 
position   of   a  head   coach  caused 
Mr.    Clifford    to    decide    to    leave 
Williams    and    journey    to    Colby 
which    is    located    In    WatervlUe, 
Maine.  His  new  position  will  be  on 
the  newly  finished  campus  at  Col- 
by. After  the  Second  World  War, 
the  entire  college  was  moved  from 
lis  former  dreary  location   to  an 
entirely  new  campus  situated  on  a 
hill  which  has  been  called  one  of 
the  show  places  of  New   England. 
Other  Opporturities 
The  newly  appointed  coach  has 
had  other  opportunltle.s  to  become 
a  head  coach,  but  all  of  the  offers 
which    he    received    came    from 
schools  located  in  the  West,  and 
Mr.  Clifford  did  not  wish  to  leave 
New  England,  where  he  was  rais- 
ed.  He   came   to   Williams   from 
Northwestern  where  he  was  assLs- 
i  tant  football  coach  and  also  as-

The   Amherst    Phobia 


Why  is  it  tliat  in  recent  yeiirs  Williams  teams  have  had  so 
much  tiouhle  defeating  Amherst?  This  is  true  especially  in  the 
three  major  season  s])orts.  The  answer  tliat  the  Jetfs  have  better 
teams  is  not  always  true.  Last  year  the  Eph  basketball  team  was 
one  of  the  three  finest  in  New  Enj^land.  And  yet  Amherst,  with  an 
admittedly  inferior  team,  defeated  Williams  once  and  came  close 
to  doiii;;;  it  a  second  time.  Again,  this  year's  football  team  was  sup- 
posed to  be  as  good,  if  not  better,  tlian  Amherst's.  But  the  jelfs 
still  rolled  over  \\'illiams. 

From  this  corner  it  looks  as  if  something  happens  to  a  Wil- 
liams football,  basketball,  or  baseball  jjlayer  when  he  sees  the  word 
"Amherst"  on  the  eliest  of  the  oijposition.  For  some  reason,  Wil- 
liams men  feel  they  cannot  beat  a  team  from  across  the  Mohawk 
Trail.  They  freeze  up,  get  nervous,  and  forget  about  playing  their 
best.  As  a  result,  they  have  lost  more  than  their  share  of  games  to 
Amherst. 

This  could  be  the  time  to  reverse  this  phobia  with  a  bang. 
Williams  should  ha\e  beaten  Amherst  in  basketball  two  weeks 
ago.  Only  an  extremely  poor  first  half,  when  the  Jeffs  built  up  a 
15  )5oint  lead,  kept  the  Ephs  from  winning.  The  loss  meant  that 
the  Ephs  could  not  be  the  Little  Three  basketball  champs  again. 
A  win  tonight  would  mean  more  than  just  giving  Williams  a  tie 
with  Amherst  for  the  title.  It  would  mean  definite  reversal  of  the 
"phobia".  It  would  mean  that  Williams  has  licked  the  jinx.  The 
Jeffs  are  favored  tonight  because  of  their  home  court  and  previ- 
ous win  over  Williams.  If  Al  Shaw's  club  upset  Amherst  it  would 
not  only  gain  revenge  for  the  Jeffs'  win  here,  but  would  go  part 
way  to  pay  for  Amherst's  big  upset  of  the  NCAA  five  last  year.

"GOOD  MORNING,  MISS  DOVE"  will  either  bring  back  night- 
mares or  pleasant  memories,  depending  upon  your  relations  with 
past  grade  school  pedagogues.  Jennifer  Jones  plays  the  role  of 
the  straight- laced  teacher  whose  biography  is  presented  through 
a  scries  of  flashbacks  involving  former  pupils.  Most  of  the  towns- 
folk who  have  been  in  her  classroom  at  one  time  or  another  set 
forth  a  questionable  argument  for  her  teaching  methods.  Academy 
Award  actress  Jones  has  had  better  parts.  Two  hours  of  Miss  Dove 
is  enough  to  make  most  of  the  audience  run  back  home  to  their 
TV  sets.

An  Evening  With  Edward  G.  Robinson 

bi/  Herb  Gottemiuin 
.\fter  viewing  the  cinema  version  of  Paddy  Chayefsky's  tele- 
vision play,  "Marty",  it  seemed  that  this  new  creative  talent  ol  a 
relatively  young  "art "  medium  showed  great  promise  ol  becoming 
in  a  not  overly  long  period  of  time,  a  major  contributor  to  the 
various  forms  of  American  dramatic  media.  His  "slice  of  life"  pre- 
sentations were  reulislieally  vivid  ami  his  honest  characterizations 
liail  a  certain  lyrical  quality  about  them.  With  such  considerations 
in  mind,  I  looked  forward  with  great  iiili'rest  to  .\lr.  Chayelsky  >, 
contribution  to  Broadway,  a  love  story,  called  "Middle  of  tht 
Night".  I'm  sorry  to  say  that  but  for  a  brilliant  sa\  iiig  perlormanci 
by  Edward  G.  Robinson  in  the  lead  role,  the  play  oilers  little  ii. 
the  way  of  good  theatre  and  serves  mainly  to  demonstrate  tin 
limit  of  Mr.  Chayefsky's  ability,  an  ability  clearly  overextendeii 
on  the  Broadway  stage. 

Tlie  story  deals  with  a  love  affair  between  a  midille-ageci 
Jewish  widower,  played  by  Mr.  Robinson,  and  his  young,  beautilui 
^il  not  overly  brainy)  non-Jewish  receptionist,  played  by  Genu 
Rowlands.  Apparently  to  uni\ersali/e  the  "meaning  of  Ins  play, 
Mr.  Chayelsky  refers  to  his  characters  in  general  terms,  and  tlu 
two  people  mentioned  above  are  the  Manutactuier  and  the  Girl, 
respectively.  It  would  seem  that  the  Girl  has  grown  to  abhor  tin 
merely  physical  implications  of  her  marriage  to  a  highly  se.ved  bin 
relatively  iiisensative  piano-player,  called  the  HusDand,  anil  slii 
"goes  home  to  mother  in  a  state  ol  great  mental  chaos.  She  re- 
ceives no  sympathy  there,  however,  because  the  homey  knowletlgt. 
of  Mom  and  friends  would  indicate  that  bedroom  relations  an 
all  tliat  matter  in  conjugal  iif fairs.  The  (Jirl  Inially  tlisco\ers  some- 
one who  appreciates  her  less  aniinal-like  point  ol  view,  and  who 
should  tliat  be  but  the  Manufacturer,  a  wise,  kindly  old  gentle- 
man of  fitty-tluee,  well  on  the  way  to  Kinsey  hnibo  and  who  him- 
self admits  tliat  he's  goiug  tlirough  a  ""change  in  hie '.  This  seems  to 
wear-  well  witli  the  Cirl,  already  suffering  Irom  bedroom  fatigue, 
and  while  her  husband  goes  out  to  play  in  one  of  the  "'cooler 
Vegas  spots,  she  and  the  Manufacturer  develop  a  very  soullul 
relationship  consisting  of  much  empathetic  conversation,  llowcver, 
die  prompting  ol  the  Girls  friend  eventually  stirs  up  her  libitlinai 
curiosity,  and  one  night  she  aimounees  to  Etlward  G.  that  it  s 
ciine  we  went  to  a  hotel ",  a  nicely-turned  phrase  indeed.  It  turns 
out  that  "Sugar-Daddy '  Kobinsoii  had  been  awaiting  this  inoincnt 
with  some  aii.\iety  based  on  his  menopausal  tendencies.  His  tears 
are  well-founded  but  the  Girl  is  willing  to  give  liini  all  the  time  he 
needs  and  it  would  seem  that  the  message"  ol  the  play  is  that 
l()\e  coiK|ueis  all ",  even  Kiiisey  and  Freuil.  The  (|uasi-i''iendian 
implications  of  the  play  would  have  been  better  lelt  in  the  te.-a- 
ocioK,  especiall)'  in  terms  of  some  restrained  retereiiee  to  Electra- 
iieuroses  ami  such.  This  drollery  is  livened  up  by  the  return  ol 
llusbaiid,  sans  piano,  (he  improvises  in  space)  in  answer  to  his 
wile's  request  lor  a  divorce.  This  character  makes  her  antipathy 
seem  (|uite  understandable  because  it  would  appear  that  he  s  no- 
thing more  than  a  musical  phallic  symbol.  His  attempted  marital 
reprochement  \ia  the  rape  method  is  most  unsuave,  especially  in 
view  of  die  circuinstaiices,  despite  mother-in-law's  approval.  This 
intriguing  episode  sends  the  Girl  to  Robinson's  artliiitic  side  in 
"the  middle  of  the  night"  and  in  time  honored  fashion,  they  deem 
the  world  "well  lost".  The  audience,  composed  in  the  main  ot  old- 
marrieds,  seemed  to  accept  this  decision  with  apjiroval  and  left  the 
theatre  glad  of  die  fact  that  "it's  never  too  late  .  However,  to  this 
unniellowed  spectator,  it  seemed  that  the  girl  was  just  making 
amends  for  her  fatherless,  affcctioiiless  jeunesse  dnougli  the  ben- 
evolent courtesy  of  Daddy-O  Robinson  who  has  begun  to  feel 
anew  the  surge  of  youUi  in  his  ancient  bones  and  other  places. 

There  is  not  much  else  to  be  said  lor  the  show,  e.\ccpt  lor 
its  extraordinary  display  of  Mr.  Robinson's  talent.  His  timing  and 
gestures  are  perfection,  profoundly  displaying  the  conflicts  and 
self-doubt  of  an  "old  man  in  love",  and  solely  tor  the  priviledge  ol 
seeing  Robinson  in  action,  I  would  recoinmeud  an  evening  at  the 
Anta  theatre.  It  is  only  by  way  of  .Mr.  Robinson  that  one  can  accept 
the  Cheyefskyan  hypothesis  that  "this  is  life,  such  as  it  may  be ". 
Edward  G.  Robinson  improves  on  life  bv  dint  of  his  magnificent 
stage  presence  and  "that  is  art,  such  as  it  may  be". 


LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

Ton  von  Stein's  reopening  of  a  hackneyed,  though  cherished, 
discussion  has,  I'm  afraid,  goaded  me  into  making  a  few  comments 
on  this  matter. 

I  am  sorry  that  I  must  dLsagree  with  Mr.  von  Stein.  Even  with 
the  recent  and  ugly  rumors  about  Mr.  Copelaud's  stand  still  fresh 
in  my  mind,  I  cannot  possibly  accept  the  premise  that  the  "ad- 
ministration" is  "out  to  get"  or  to  destroy  the  fraternities. 

Only  the  crudest  barbarian  or  the  most  ignorant  tyrant  could 
conceive  of  following  such  a  policy.  No  civilized  man,  not  even 
an  intelligent  tyrant,  would  be  so  careless  with  man's  accomplish- 
ments, and  particularly  that  of  the  Williams'  students,  as  to  urge 
their  reckless  destruction.  Yes,  it  is  not  only  the  accomplishment 
of  the  student  body  which  the  fraternities  represent.  ( I  suspect 
they  might  even  represent  student  degeneration  ratlir  than  accom- 
plishments.) Rather  in  15  predomineiitly  brick  structures  on  this 
campus  is  represented  years  of  patient  labor  and  devotion;  vears 
of  saving,  building,  hope  and  accomplishment  on  the  part  of  un- 
told numbers  of  past  members  of  the  student  body  working  in 
fruitful  cooperation  with  the  ever-generous  aluinni  body.  No,  Tom, 
there  cannot  be  men  in  the  college  "administration"  so  unfit  as  to 
encourage  the  rude  upsetting  of  one  of  the  few  symbols  of  social 
order  and  perhaps  the  only  manifestation  of  student-alumni  cre- 
ation on  this  campus. 

One  party  or  the  other,  fraternities  or  the  "administration  ", 
might  in  ignorance,  or  po.ssibly  even  because  of  some  relevant 
information,  sense  a  conflict  of  interests.  This  is  a  problem  which 
wil  have  to  be  settled  by  the  two  involved  parties.  Having  per- 
sonally sensed  a  conflict  between  a  fraternity  and  myself,  and 
consequently  being  an  outside  party  to  any  current  conflicts  of

Harrassed  Williams  Drivers  Moan 
Over  Lack  of  Parking  Space  Here 

bi/  Sandi/  llintseU 
"A  parking  spot,  a  parking  spot,  my  registration  tug  for  a  par- 
king  spot!" 

II  Wee  Willie  Shakespeare  (or  Hoppin'  Hugh  Marlow,  us 
the  ease  may  be)  will  pardon  the  undue  license,  this  statciiiiut 
may  well  reflect  a  niessing  problem  on  campus  today.  This  is  uq 
old,  laiiiiliar  issue  liolli  to  the  adininistration  and,  more  vividlu 
;o  sliuleiits  -  especially  when  vainly  searching  for  this  higlily! 
.ovcled  rarity  known  as  a  parking  place  at  7:50  a.  m.  some  stoimy 
morning. 

Mure  Cars  Now 
Of  coiir.si',  this  problem  of  lack  of  sufficient  parking  sp  ce 
has  become  even  more  acute  recently  with  a  sharp  increase  in 
.he  niimbi'r  of  ears  being  registered.  For  e.vample,  right  now  tli  re 
are  more  than  500  ( ilivided  325  stuilent  anil  200  faculty  and  ,,il. 
iiiinislratioii)  vehicles  hsted  in  the  Dean's  Office,  the  highest  lit. 
al  on  record. 

III  contrast  to  this,  the  four  main  .school  parking  lots, 
brand  new  one  at  the  library,  the  Old  Town  behind  the  Lawn 
.Art  Museiiin,  and  those  at  Jesup  Hall  and  West  College  arc 
over-crowded  and  incapable  bv  a  large  degree  ol  handling 
lieav  V  volume  ol  traffic.  The  e.\act  figures  on  the  capacity  of  tl 
lots  is  unavailable, 

Adiuinistriiliun  Agrees 

\o  one  realizes  the  scope  of  this  situation  any  more  ke(  ily 
than  till'  adiuinistratioii.  Dean  Brooks,  for  one,  said  that,  "In  i;  n- 
eral,  it  is  impossible  to  find  enough  space  to  park  anywhere  .)ii 
campus  except  lor  the  spacious  .VNlT  lot".  He  went  on  to  point 
that  this  condition  eertaiiilv  is  not  uiii(|iie  at  Williams. 

Most  colli'ges,  whether  located  in  big  cities  or  small  to\ 
like  Williamstowu,  are  lacing  the  same  (|uestioii,  he  said.  To  si 
the  probleni.  some  ari'  even  charging  up  to  $25  yearly  for  dri\ 
registration  and  sinking  this  revenue  into  parking  lot  construcli 
It  is  assumed  that  most  student  drivers  would  take  a  rather  i 
view  ol  a  similar  proposal  here,  however. 
Otiirr  Solutions 

What.  then,  can  be  done  to  alter  the  situation';'  Some  puniMts 
sugge'st  thai  sludeuls  and  hieullv  switch  to  smaller  model  foiei;.;ii 
I'ars  which  take  up  less  parking  space.  On  the  other  hand,  a  s^rt 
ol  biillcr  action  is  being  taken  bv  the  Buildings  and  (Grounds  I  ii'- 
parliiicMt  bv  issueing  parking  tickets  and  collecting  fines  for  ill(  .il 
parking.  (Aiiv  prolits  ri'alized  either  from  these  fines  or  from  liie 
registration  tags  go  into  the  college  general  funds,  although  tlirse 
aiiioiuits  are  usiiallv  very  small.) 

The  two  most  obvious  solutions  naturally  are  either  to  incie:ise 
the  aniounl  ol  parking  space  or  to  lediiee  the  number  of  drivers. 
The  lonuer  involves  considerable  e.vpense  and  it  is  doubtful  if 
aiiv  expansion  along  tlu'se  lines  is  presently  under  coiisideraliun 
by  the  administration;  while  the  latter  suggestion,  it  is  felt,  ag;iin 
would  not  be  ovcrlv  appreciated  by  the  students. 

Hence,  the  logical  eoneliisioii;  the  unfortunate  parking  situ- 
ation on  campus  will  continue  imreniedied  for  some  time  to  come. 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RKCORIJ; 

While  this  is  not  the  main  purpose  of  my  letter,  I  would  first 
like  to  congratulate  Bob  Clifford  on  his  appointment  as  foothiill 
coach  at  Oilbv  College,  lie  has  done  a  fine  job  in  his  brief  sl;iy 
here  at  WilliaMis,  so  we  wish  him  much  success  next  year  after  the 
Williaiiis-C'olbv  game. 

The  main  purpose  of  this  letter  is  to  urge  the  Athletic  Dcp;irt- 
meiit  and  Trustees  of  Williams  to  appoint  Jim  Ostendarp  as  :is- 
sistaut  lootball  coach  next  year.  .As  we  all  know,  he  coached  the 
I'lcshmaii  lootball  and  wrestling  teams  to  undefeated  seasons 
and  shut-outs  over  Amherst. 

Next  year,  as  assistant  coach,  Ostendarp  would  be  of  gi<  it 
service  to  Leii  Walters  in  developing  the  great  Sophomore  del'- 
galioii  on  tlie  varsity.  With  Walters'  ex])erieiice  and  ability  alonii 
with  Osieiidar])'s  inspirational  leadership,  Williams  should  emeri'e 
from  the  famine  of  recent  years.  With  this  combination  the  mei  i- 
bers  of  the  class  of  19.56  should  finally  witness  a  victory  over 
Sabrina. 

Yours   truly, 

Robert  Schumacher  '56

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.    SATURDAY,  MARCH  3.1956 


Sports  Slant: 


s 


by  Stu  Auerbacli 
Williams  will  be  losing  more  than  a  lootball  coach  when  Bob 
Clifford  leaves  to  take  over  the  head  coacliinj^  reins  at  Colby  Col- 
loj^e  this  fall,  Coach  Clifford  was  a  man  who  developed  a  deep 
likinj'  for  Williams  in  the  two  short  years  he  was  here,  and  in  re- 
tnrn  Williams  developed  a  deep  likin)^  lor  him.  He  proved  to  be 
a  valuable  assistant  lor  Len  Watters,  especially  this  fall  when  Wal- 
ters was  bothered  with  a  serious  attaclc  of  ulcers.  Wlien  the  head 
coach  was  operated  on  after  the  football  season,  Clifford  took  over 
many  of  his  speaking  duties.  But  as  a  coach,  Chflord  could  not 
afford  to  turn  down  the  opportunity  to  move  on  to  bigger  tilings. 
Not  only  is  there  probably  an  advancement  in  pay  involved,  but 
he  is  moving  upward  in  the  coaching  ranks. 

We  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  Coach  Clif- 
ford for  tlie  fine  job  he  did  at  Williams  and  at  the  same  time  to 
ongraulate  him  on  his  jjromotion  and  to  wish  him  tlie  t)est  of 
lick  -  except  when  Colby  and  Williams  play.  As  head  coach  at 
i;olby,  he  will  be  faced  with  a  rebuilding  job;  and,  ironically 
(  iiough,  one  of  the  first  teams  he  will  meet  next  year  will  be  Wil- 
liams on  Weston  I'ield.  There  the  men  that  he  trained  will  turn 
.igainst  him. 

Frankie  Thorns  and  Watters  will  be  faced  with  the  problem 
,,f  finding  a  capable  man  to  replace  Clifford.  Certainly,  one  man 
Milder  consideration  is  Jim  Ostendarp,  who  was  so  successful  as 
Ireshman  football  coach  last  fall.  However,  the  powcrs-tiiat-be  may 
ilecide  that  Ostendar|)  is  too  valuable  where  he  is  now,  developing 
'reshman  talent,  to  be  moved  up  to  the  varsity  ranks.  Two  years 
i)(:fore  Clifford  was  hired  as  a  replacement  lor  Frank  Bell,  the 
ithletic  department  was  looking  lor  a  young  man  with  backfield 
rxperience  in  the  split-T  formation  as  an  assistant  coach.  This 
would  allow  Watters  to  coach  the  line,  where  he  jjlayed.  That  de- 
sire to  find  a  backfield  coach  is  still  probably  in  Watters'  mind. 
In  any  case,  it  will  be  a  hard  job  replacing  Clifford.

Powerful  Varsity,  Frosh  Swim  Teams 
To  Oppose  Amherst  for  Crown  Today; 
400  yd.  Relay  May  Settle  Major  Tilt 

Amherst,  March  3  -  The  varsity  and  freshman  swimming  teams 
will  take  on  Amherst  in  contests  tliat  will  decide  the  Little  Three 
titles  here  this  afternoon. 

The  Williams  swimmers,  having  lost  only  to  high-ranking 
Syracuse  and  Colgate,  will  be  in  top  form  for  a  strong  Amherst 

.squad  which,  although  bowing  to<^— 

Yale,  Dartmouth,  and  Kenyon,  has 
been  outstanding  on  occasions.  The 
Lord  Jeffs  are  paced  by  Bob  Kel- 
ler who  has  threatened  the  New 
England  record  in  the  50  and  100 
yard  freestyle  events. 

Although  his  plans  are  subject 
to  last  minute  revisions,  Coach 
Bob  Muir  Intends  to  use  Pete  Lew- 
Is,  Bob  Severance.  Bill  Jenks  or 
Pete  Dletz  In  the  300  yard  medley 
relay.  Lewis  will  do  the  backstroke. 
Severance  the  breaststroke  and 
cither  Dletz  or  Jenks  will  swim  the 
freestyle. 

Dletz,  Tony  Brockelman,  and 
Bill  Mersells  will  swim  in  the  220 
while  Klrt  Gardner,  Dan  Chap- 
man, and  Bruno  Qulnson  are  slat- 
ed to  race  In  the  50  yard  freestyle. 
The  150  individual  medley  will 
find  Fred  Korns.  Severance  and 
Qulnson  on  the  starting  blocks  for 
the  Mulrmen.  Gardner,  Jenks,  and 
Dletz  are  scheduled  to  swim  In 
the  100  yard  event. 

Dletz  Sees  More  Action 

Lewis.  Dave  Cunningham,  and 
Evan  Williams  will  swim  the  220 
backstroke  and  Dletz,  Brockel- 
man and  Tom  Kellog  are  being 
placed  in  the  440.  The  400  yard  re- 
lay team,  upon  which  the  outcome 
of  the  meet  might  conceivably  de- 
pend, consists  of  Gardner.  Sever- 
ance. Dletz.  Chapman  or  possibly 
Jenks. 

The  Eph  frosh  squad,  having  al- 
ready defeated  Wesleyan  as  has 
Amherst,  will  be  attempting  to 
conclude  its  six  meet  season  with 
but  one  defeat  which  was  admin- 
istered by  Deerfield.  Leadtag  the 
squad  will  be  freshman  standout 
Chip  Ida. 


sistant  basketball  coach,  in  order 
to  be  able  to  live  in  the  east. 

This  winter,  Coach  Clifford  has 
been  helping  Coach  Robert  Muir 
in  coaching  the  swimming  team. 
This  is  the  first  time  that  Muir 
has  had  an  assistant  in  all  of  his 
many  years  at  Williams.  Clifford 
was  expected  to  take  over  the  spot 
of  swimming  coach  next  winter, 
when  Muir  leaves  for  Australia  as 
the  Olympic  coach.  Now  someone 
else  will  have  to  fill  the  gap. 

Selection  Process 

An  elaborate  process  of  selection 
was  used  to  determine  who  would 
be  the  new  Colby  football  coach. 
All  the  candidates  were  carefully 
screened  and  their  records  were 
checked  in  order  to  choose  wisely. 
There  were  quite  a  few  applicants, 
but  today  it  was  finally  announced 
that  Clifford  had  been  selected 
and  had  accepted  the  new  Job. 

Clifford  commented  that  "Wil- 
liams football  is  definitely  on  the 
upgrade".  He  remarked  that  It  was 
quite  a  coincidence  that  the  Colby 
opening  game  for  the  commg  sea- 
son will  be  against  the  Ephmen. 

Clifford  said.  "I  am  very  sorry 
about  leaving  Williams.  My  whole 
family  has  been  very  happy  here 
where  we  have  made  some  of  the 
best  of  friends."  Clifford  contta- 
ued,  "We  all  like  to  be  able  to  try 
our  own  theories,  and  this  is  my 
opportunity  to  try  mine."

Williams  Gains  Little  Three  Squash  Title; 
Shuts  Out  Jeffs,  9-0,  For  Championship 


Tuesday,  Feb.  28  —  Gaining  the 
distinction  of  being  the  first  Wil- 
liams squash  team  to  beat  Am- 
herst by  the  score  of  9-0,  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee's  varsity  squad

Williams  Pucksters  Suffer  Eighth  Defeat; 
Scoones  Leads  Hamilton  Team  to  Victory 

Wednesday,  Feb.  29  -  The  hard-luck  Williams  hockey  team 
was  defeated  again  this  afternoon  by  an  inspired  Hamilton  Con- 
tinentals sextet,  7-,3.  Playing  on  the  Continentals'  ice,  the  Ephmen 
were  unable  to  overcome  a  ,3-1  first  period  deficit,  and  dropped 
their  eighth  contest  of  the  campaign,  against  only  four  victories. 

The  Purple  six  drew  first  blood 
after  8:25  of  the  initial  stanza, 
with  Bob  Bethune  scoring  on  an 
assist  from  R.  A.  Gallun.  How- 
ever, only  ten  seconds  later,  Ham- 
ilton's Bill  Scoones  drove  the  puck 
past  Marr,  and  began  a  sensation- 
al skating  display  that  turned  the 
hat  trick  for  him  during  the  first 
period.  Scoones  scored  five  times 
in  all,  picking  up  additional  coun- 
ters at  4:00  of  the  second  period 
on  an  assist  from  Dan  Koehler. 
and  at  19:45  of  the  final  stanza, 
with  an  assist  by  Fi'ed  Kegan. 
Flood  Scores 
Sub  Eph  goalie  Denny  Doyle  re- 
placed Marr  in  the  nets  during 
the  second  period,  allowing  only 
one  score,  and  recording  14  saves. 
The  combination  of  Bethune  and 
Gallun  clicked  again  for  the  Pur- 
ple at  14:34  of  the  second  chap- 
ter, as  the  former  drove  the  puck 
past  Continental  goalie  Ward  Ol- 
ney  for  the  score.  Assisted  by  Dick 
Lombard,  right  wing  Dick  Flood 
completed  the  Eph  scoring  by  hit- 
ting the  nets  at  7:02  of  the  last 
period. 


and  15-10. 

His  associates  encountered  more 
in  the  way  of  steady  play  and  drop 
shots  with  the  remainder  of  the 
odd  sets  going  four  and  five 
matches  to  win.  Tom  Jones,  Dick 
Ennls,  and  Kim  Kimberley  all  won 
in  four  in  the  number  three,  seven, 
and  nine  slots  while  Sam  Eells 
playing  number  five  came  from  be- 
hind to  play  a  steady  game  and 
tire  his  opponent.  Stan  Lipton  in 
five  sets. 

With  a  5-0  lead.  Co-captain 
Scott  Wood,  operating  in  the  sec- 
ond position,  easily  subdued  Wie- 
demann in  three  games  but  Woody 
Southall  and  Corns  necessitated 
another  fifth  game  rubber  before 
victory  number  seven  was  in  the 
books.  Co-captam  John  Barton 
and  Tom  Shulman  then  proceeded 
to  wind  up  a  relatively  lenghthy 
but  profitable  day  by  winning  in 
four  and  three  games  respectively. 
With  this  match  the  Williams 
squash  team  culminated  a  suc- 
cessful season  of  six  wins  and  four 
losses. 

"Good  match"  were  the  words 
Coach  Chaffee  used  to  express  his 
feelings  toward  the  freshman 
squad  in  the  final  contest  of  the 
season  which  noted  seven  defeats 
and  no  victories.  In  today's  meet- 
ing with  Amherst,  Warren  King, 
Bill  Norris  and  Marrl  Johnson 
were  the  lone  purple  winners.

has  been  a  great  asset  to  the  team. 

Big  Walt  Shipley,  6'  5"  center 
will  battle  Hawkins  in  the  pivot 
position  tonight.  Shipley  is  third 
in  scoring  and  second  in  rebounds 
for  the  Ephmen.  averaging  sixteen 
points  a  game.  Closing  out  the 
starting  five  will  be  junior  guard 
John  Lewis.  The  Shawmen  cannot 
make  any  mistakes  tonight  and  ex- 
pect to  win,  for  Amherst  has  a 
fine  team.  If  they  play  the  way 
they  did  against  Amherst  in  the 
second  halt  of  the  last  game  a  tie 
for  the  Little  Three  Crown  is  not 
out  of  reach. 

Frosh  Seek  Title 

With  only  two  setbacks  in  twelve 
games,  the  frosh  quintet  appear  on 
their  way  to  a  Little  Three  Cham- 
pionship. Leading  the  team  in  both 
the  scoring  and  rebound  depart- 
ments is  big  6'  4"  center  Jeff  Mor- 
ton. At  the  guard  positions  will  be 
the  play  makers  of  the  team,  Bob 
Parker  and  Pete  WlUmott.  Both 
are  averaging  14  points  a  game, 
and  their  play  has  been  the  spark 
of  the  team  all  season.  Phil  Brown 
and  Bill  Hedeman  will  round  out 
the  line-up  at  forwards.  Both  arc 
good  rebounders,  and  Hedeman  is 
averaging  over  ten  points  a  game

Amherst,  Mar.  3  -  The  Williams 
Varsity  and  Freshman  Sextets 
will  conclude  their  seasons  here 
today  against  their  traditional 
Amherst  rivals.  Coach  McCormlck 
stated  that  the  game  should  be  a 
toss-up.  He  went  on  to  say  that 
tradition  and  the  home  ice  should 
favor  Amherst. 

In  last  month's  meeting  the 
Ephmen  took  a  3-2  decision  In  ov- 
ertime. After  the  game,  however. 
Coach  "Red"  Richardson  of  Am- 
herst stated  that  the  Jeffs  were 
at  their  season's  peak  during  the 
game. 

Stringer  Leads  Jeffs 

Dave  Cook,  Doug  Poole,  and  Dick 
Flood  will  compose  the  Eph's  start- 
ing line.  R.  A.  Gallun,  who  scored 
twice  against  Amherst  in  the  last 
contest,  Captain  Bob  Bethune  and 
Bob  Leinbach  will  be  on  the  second 
line.  The  Purple  now  possess  a 
strong  third  line  in  Dick  Lombard, 
Dave  Wood,  and  Tony  Bradley.  At 
the  defensive  positions  John  Hol- 
man  and  Rick  DrlscoU  will  shield 
goalie  Dick  Marr. 

Ed  Stringer,  the  Jeffs'  high 
scorer,  and  Ky  Sylvester,  a  scrap- 
py wing  with  plenty  of  hustle,  will 
pace  the  Amherst  attack.  If  the 
Sabrinas  pack  the  front  of  the 
nets  as  usual,  the  Ephs  should 
score  on  shots  that  ricochet  off 
the  defensemen. 

Frosh  Flay   Afterwards 

Following  the  varsity  tilt,  the 
freshmen  will  take  the  ice  against 
the  Amherst  yearlings.  A  scrappy 
squad  that  capitalizes  on  all 
breaks,  the  Jeffs  won  a  2-1  over- 
time decision  against  the  Purple 
last  month. 

Mike  Grant,  the  Ephs'  high  scor- 
er, Woody  Burgert,  and  Gerry  Hig- 
gins  will  create  the  first  line  with 
Bill  Taylor,  a  converted  defense- 
man,  John  Boyden  and  Larry  Pratt 
on  the  second  line.  Tom  Piper  and 
Bob  Lowden,  hard-shooting  de- 
fensemen, will  start  in  front  of 
goalie  Pete  Guy.

Unbeaten   Freshmen 
Bid  for  Team  Title 


Cambridge,  Mass.,  Mar.  3  -  A 
hopeful  Williams  Varsity  virestling 
team  and  the  Little  Three  Cham- 
pion freshman  squad  are  complet- 
ing their  bids  for  the  New  Eng- 
land Intercollegiate  Wrestling 
Championships  today  on  the  MIT 
mats  here. 

Coach  Ed  Bullock  expects  his 
varsity  grapplers  to  place  well  up 
In  the  team  standings  this  week- 
end, with  Ted  McKee,  his  unde- 
feated 130-pound  division  ace  hav- 
ing the  best  chance  of  taking  an 
individual  championship. 
Other   Good   Bets 

Others  with  good  chances  for 
placing  high  for  the  Ephs  are  John 
Evans  in  the  123-pound  class,  Jim 
Hutchinson  at  the  137-mark  and 
Dave  Andrews  in  the  157-pound  di- 
vision. The  167  and  unlimited  di- 
visions respectively,  were  undecid- 
ed as  the  RECORD  went  to  press. 
Pete  Carney,  Walt  O'Hearn  and 
Gene  Sullivan  will  compete  among 
themselves  for  the  Unlimited  Spot, 
while  either  Carney  or  Sullivan 
will  tangle  in  the  167-pound  divi- 
sion. Joe  Anderson  is  wrestling  at 
147  and  Ted  Baumgardner  carries 
the  Purple's  hopes  at  the  177  level. 

In  compiling  their  three-won- 
tour  lost  season's  record,  the  Eph- 
men have  met  six  of  the  eight 
teams  facing  them  In  the  New 
Englands. 

Freshmen  Undefeated 

Springfield  will  be  the  team  to 
beat  for  the  undefeated  Williams 
freshman  team  who  has  met  only 
Amherst,  Wesleyan  and  Tufts  of 
the  six  teams  they  are  competing 
against  this  weekend.  The  Spring- 
field frosh  are  also  undefeated  so 
far  this  season;  however.  Coach 
Bullock  and  assistant  Coach  Jim 
Ostendarp  are  working  with  "one 
of  the  best  freshman  teams  Wil- 
liams has  had  in  several  years".

Economic  Abundance  Increases 
Standard  of  Ethics  in  America 
Cites  Potter  to  Large  Audience 

Wi'diicsclav,  Ffh.  29  -  Spcakinj;  hcfore  it  larnc  ovciflow  aiid- 
ieiitr  ill  tlif  Tliompsou  Hiology  Lab  this  cNfiiiiig,  David  M.  Pot- 
ter, Cliainniiii,  Dopartiiii'iit  ol  Aiiu'iicaii  Studies,  Vale  Uiii\orsity, 
and  autliDr  of  "IVopk'  ol  Pk'iity",  declared  that  "eeoiiomie  abiin- 
diiiiee  lia.s  extended  the  range  of  American  ethical  thoiit^iit."  His 
topic,  |)re,sented  a.s  a  part  of  the  series  by  the  Williams  Lecture 
Coiniiiittce,  was  "Econoinic  Abundance  and  American  Material- 
ism", or,  us  he  put  it,  "Kconomic  .Abundance  and  the  American 
Lthic". 

Americans  have  always  express- O . 

ed  a  fear  of  riches  upon  charac 


ter,  he  pointed  out.  But  he  em- 
phasized the  tact  that  the  effect 
of  American  economic  abundance 
upon  spiritual  values  has  done  a 
great  deal  to  broaden  the  area  of 
activity  to  which  we  apply  ethi- 
cal standards.  This  is  exemplified 
in  the  improvement  of  living  stan- 
dards. 

Referring  to  history,  Mr.  Potter 
e.\plained  that  the  Puritan  tried  to 
"adjust"  to  any  existing  evils.  The 
Puiitan  thought  "evils  were  de- 
signed by  God  to  test  him".  The 
twentieth  century  man  seeks,  how- 
ever, to  "eliminate"  the  evils.  This 
fact  is  due  to  the  development  of 
material  conditions  which  no  long- 
er malce  the  evils  eventual.  The 
"potentiality  of  an  economic  sur- 
plus" altered  the  conditions  con- 
ducive to  the  eventual  evils. 

"Abundance  has  provided  for  us 
the  opportunity  to  deal  with  ethi- 
cal problems,"  Pour  plagues — fam- 
ine, war,  death,  and  pestilence — 
which  were  formerly  considered 
the  "embodiment  of  the  inevitable, 
are  no  longer  regarded  inevitable 
in  the  same  sense  as  they  used  to 
be."  Mr.  Potter  continued  by  say- 
ing that  American  history  is  full 
of  examples  of  this  progressive 
betterment  against  these  once  con- 
sidered inevitable  evils.  For  ex- 
ample, labor  benefits  are  now  pos- 
sible because  of  economic  abun- 
dance. In  the  eighteenth  century, 
man  was  required  to  work  longer 
and  harder  for  the  same  ends  that 
can  be  achieved  today  with  less 
effort. 

Psychological  Cases  Increase 
Following  the  same  line  of 
thought,  Mr.  Potter  stated  that 
the  pathos  present  in  the  "100 
Neediest  Cases"  of  "The  New  York 
'limes  '  has  put  more  emphasis  on 
psychological  disabilities  than  fif- 
ty years  ago.  While  the  poverty 
cases  have  decreased,  the  psycho- 
logical cases  have  increased.  This 
phenomena  may  also  be  attributed 
to  the  increase  in  economic  abun- 
dance. Mr.  Potter  concluded  saying 
"while  economic  abundance  may 
lead  in  one  sense  to  materialism, 
it  has  also  led  to  a  broader  exami- 
nation of  ethical  values". 

In  the  discussion  period  that 
followed  the  formal  part  cf  the 
program,  Mr.  Potter  called  the  ec- 
onomic means  to  a  successful  con- 
clusion of  problems  an  "important 
prerequisite  to  the  alleviation  of 
evils".  He  stated  further  that 
"there  has  been  a  shift  in  mora- 
lity, but  I  do  think  the  range  of 
evils  which  the  Puritans  could 
control  was  a  very  limited  range. 
We  have  perhaps  extended  the 
range  of  evils  to  which  we  can 
apply  ethical  criteria." 

On  March  15th  William  H. 
Schuman,  President  of  the  Juil- 
liard  School  of  Music  will  speak 
on  "The  Composer  in  America" 
Dr.  Schuman  is  an  eminent  com- 
poser and  educator.  He  received 
the  first  Pulitzer  Prize  in  Music 
in    1943,

mistic  in  his  appraisal  of  the 
Campbell  Committee  post-rushing 
plan,  which  was  rejected  in  favor 
of  the  O'Brien  plan  last  spring. 
Campbell's  group  advocated  a 
non-affiliate  eating  plan  similar 
to  the  Bowdoin  plan,  to  defeat  the 
apathy  which  paralyzed  this  year's 
post-rushing  system. 

Finally,  Wheeler  outlined  an  idea 
of  his  own,  which  advocated  ap- 
plying force  on  the  houses  in  the 
following  way.  Immediately  after 
rushing,  the  SC  would  make  up  a 
list  of  the  unpledged  sophomores. 
This  group  would  then  be  split  up 
among  the  15  houses  by  some  arbi- 
trary process,  such  as  drawing 
names  out  of  a  hat. 

Eating   Privileges 

The  houses  would  be  obligated  to 
extend  eating  and  social  privileges, 
at  least  temporarily,  to  the  one  or 
two  men  they  drew.  Then,  theore- 
tically, it  would  only  take  three 
years  to  achieve  100  per  cent 
membership. 

Dean  Brooks,  saying  that  hi- 
role  on  the  SC  is  to  be  "unobtru- 
sive", followed  Wheeler  and  out- 
lined a  much  more  complete  agen- 
da for  the  SC  this  year.  Echoing 
Wheeler,  Dean  Brooks  emphasizea 
tliat  the  problem  of  highest  pri- 
oiity  is  to  see  that  "no  one  is  left 
over  after  rushing  next  fall".  He 
predicted  that  this  problem,  which 
he  termed  "dramatic  and  excru- 
ciating", will  be  "less  in  extent, 
and  consequently  greater  in  in- 
tensity than  it  has  been  in  pre- 
vious years". 

Dirty    Rushing 

The  next  most  important  ques- 
tion is  that  of  dirty  rushing, 
Brooks  asserted.  "Publicity  be- 
comes most  acute  when  the  fra- 
ternities reach  their  highest  level 
of  morality,"  he  explained.  There- 
fore, he  considers  this  past  year 
a  step  forward,  as  violations  were 
not  allowed  to  go  unnoticed. 
Brooks  suggested  that  the  SC  re- 
examine its  position  on  what  he 
called  "block-booking",  or  package 
deals. 

Third  on  his  list  was  the  matter 
of  hazing  during  hell  week.  With-

Billiard  Champion 
Peterson  To  Visit 
Baxter  Hall  Again 

Popular  Trick-shot  Star 
Returns  for  Exhibition, 
Instruction     Session 


Saturday,  Mar.  3  -  The  wizard 
of  the  billiard  table,  Charles  C. 
Peterson,  who  made  such  a  suc- 
cessful appearance  here  last  year, 
displays  his  cue  mastery  again 
this  weekend  in  the  Pool  Rooms  of 
the  Student  Union.  This  season 
marks  the  twenty-sixth  annual 
tour  of  colleges  and  universities 
by  the  cue  artist  whose  trademark 
is:  "Show  me  a  billiard  shot  I 
can't  make". 

Peterson  is  giving  exhibitions  on 
both  Friday  and  Saturday  at  5;00 
and  7:30,  with  an  additional  per- 
formance at  1:00  this  afternoon. 
Starting  at  2:30  in  the  afternoon 
Peterson  will  give  individual  in- 
struction to  groups  of  five  for 
periods  of  forty-five  minutes  each. 
Following  the  evening  shows  there 
are  three  more  of  these  periods 
ior  free  mdividual  lessons. 

Trick    Shot   Artist 

Peterson's  exhibitions  will  in- 
clude not  only  ills  mastery  of  the 
[.rickiest  shots  in  the  ivory  sport, 
out  also  a  demonstration  of  the 
xundamentals  of  the  game. 

The  holder  of  the  world's  fancy 
shot  title  draws  his  artistry  from 
a  repertoire  of  more  than  a  thou- 
sand shots,  gathered  in  the  course 
of  many  years.  The  most  spec- 
-aoulai,  perhaps,  is  tire  "silver 
dollar"  shot,  in  which  he  uses  a 
Silver  dollar  instead  of  a  billiard 
ball. 


Phillips   Win*   Prize 

In  Debating  Contest 


Tuesday,  Feb.  28  -  David  Phil- 
lips was  awarded  the  Van  Vechlen 
piize  for  public  speaking  in  the 
annual  contest  held  last  night  in 
Grilfin  Hall.  He  won  thirty  dollars

Coached   Hoppe 

A  balding  cue  expert  at  78, 
Peterson  Is  "fascinated"  by  his 
cliosen  employment.  In  his  yearly 
jaunts  around  the  country,  (he  has 
visited  some  284  colleges  and  uni- 
versities) he  urges  the  formation 
of  teams,  teaches  the  fundamen- 
tals to  beginners  and  exhibits  his 
fantastic  knack  with  the  cue.  In 
1906,  he  coached  Willie  Hoppe,  one 
of  the  greatest  and  probably  best 
known  cue  champions  that  ever 
lived. 

Enthusiastic  about  his  appear- 
ance before  men  and  women  in 
the  college  group,  Peterson  believes 
that  billiards  is  a  game  for  re- 
laxation after  the  classroom  and 
is  confident  that  new  stars  in  the 
sport  will  emerge  from  college  men 
and  women  who  learn  the  game 
while  in  school.

press  was  too  much  for  the  Eph- 
men,  who  staged  a  brilliant  come- 
back late  In  the  first  half  to  turn 
an  apparent  rout  Into  a  len.se  bat- 
tle for  the  Little  Tliree  Title.  This 
loss  dropped  Williams  Into  second 
place  In  the  final  league  standings. 
In  the  preliminary  game,  the  Wil- 
liams freshmen  downed  Amherst 
79-71,  to  end  a  fine  season  by  win- 
ning the  Little  Three  Crown. 

Amherst  jumped  off  to  a  7-0 
lead  In  the  early  minutes  of  the 
game  and  appeared  to  be  on  the 
way  to  an  easy  victory,  as  Williams 
was  unable  to  score  against  the 
Jeffs'  tight  zone  defense.  Amherst 
continued  to  dominate  the  play  on 
their  home  court  in  the  first  quar- 
ter, and  the  Sabrinas  held  a  19-11 
lead  mid-way  through  the  half 
when  Williams  offense  suddenly 
began  to  roll,  Marv  Welnstein  con- 
nected on  a  long  set  shot  to  start 
a  determined  rally  which  cut  the 
Amherst  lead  to  three  points  late 
In  tire  second  quarter.  Walt  Ship- 
ley's three  point  play  tied  the  score 
at  28-28,  before  Amherst  edged 
ahead  to  lead  34-32  at  the  inter- 
mission. 

Williams  Leads 

The  Ephs  continued  their  great 
cMneback  in  the  third  quarter, 
and  Jim  Symon's  .lump  shot  with 
two  minutes  gone  in  the  second 
half  tied  the  score  at  36  all.  An-

again  a  moment  later  on  the  first 
of  Pearsall's  one-handcrs,  but 
Jensen  was  fouled  by  Amheist's 
pressing  defense,  and  sank  both 
free  throws  to  make  the  score  42- 
40.  However.  Pearsall  connected 
again  to  tie  the  score,  and  then  a 
moment  later  scored  another 
clutch  basket  to  put  Amherst  a-

again,  pulling  away  to  win  by  17

paced  the  Ephmen  on  the  back- 
boards with  13  rebounds.  Jim  Sy-

total,  as  Amherst's  combination 
pressing  man-to-man  and  zone  de- 
fense held  high-scorers  Bob  Bu.s.s

respectively.  This  game  marked 
the  end  of  the  Williams  basket-

Growing  Williams  Travel  Bureau 
Guides  Ephs  Throughout  World 

/)(/  Sdtuh/   Murraii 

Wednesday,  March  'i  -  Erom  a  debut  somewhat  less  auspicious 
than  the  night  club  opening  of  Sammy  Da\  is  Jr.  or  the  laimching 
of  a  yueeii  Mary,  tlic  Williams  'rra\('l  Bureau  has  grown  into  an 
"any  time,  any  place"  organization  with  world-wide  connections. 

Tlie  Travel  Bureau,  which  was  started  in  a  student's  room  in 
West  College  shortly  after  the  last  war.  now  can  and  docvs  arrange 
everything  from  last-minute  dashes  for  that  first  class  to  the  grand 
European  tours  of  the  Williams  summer  sight-seers.  The  great 
bulk  of  its  business,  however,  is  done  in  arranging  Mights  "'home' 
at  Tlianksgiying,  Christmas,  and  sirring  vacation. 
"('hri.sliiKis  rUmc?" 

Perhaps  the  Travel  linreau's  most  renowned  single  service 
is  the  annual  "Christmas  Train"  which,  at  Christmas  vacation,  car- 
ries thirty  or  so  students  to  and  from  Chicago  on  a  special  Wil- 
liams' coach  of  the  "New  England  States".  The  twenty  to  thirty 
per  cent  saving  on  train  fares  mav  also  apply  to  the  air  machine 
adherents  on  the  Chicago  run  in  the  near  future  as  the  forward- 
looking  Trawl  Bureau  has  plans  for  a  chartered  "Christmas  Plane". 

Tlie  Bureau  mav  take  another  momentous  step  forward  next 
Fall  when  they  appiv  for  membership  in  the  Air  Transport  Con- 
ference at  its  amnial  fall  meting.  If  admitted,  they  will  be  able  to 
write  their  own  tickets  in  their  spacious  Jesup  Hall  office  instead 
of  working  through  an  airlines  agent. 

"Nothing  Too  Simiir 

Tlie  advantages  of  the  tweKe-niember  Travel  Bureau  are  ob- 
vious to  any  who  have  tried  to  make  their  own  anaugements.  Us- 
ing the  Bureau  there  is  no  need  to  leave  the  campus  us  it  is  in 
eonstant  contact  with  air,  rail  and  ship  companies.  The  Bureau 
also  has  a  wealth  of  information  right  at  its  fingertips  enabling  it 
to  plan  complete  trips  anywhere  with  almost  iinariabU'  jirecise 
connections.  The  (lavs  and  weeks  of  correspondanee  required  by 
students  making  arrangements  through  their  parents  "at  the  other 
end"  is  eliminated  by  the  Travel  Bureau  which  can  confirm  res- 
ervations within  half  an  hour. 

"Recuperation  Spcciak" 

Not  content  with  just  getting  the  overworked  student  home, 
the  Travel  Bureau  has  several  "reciiiJcration  specials"  for  the  sun- 
.seekers  and  world-travelers.  Its  pet  Spring  jiniject  is  its  (as  they 
say  in  travel  parlance)  "fun-packed"  Bermuda  Tour  which  approx- 
imately ten  Williams  students  are  taking  advantage  of  come  March 
24.

BULLETIN 


SPECIAL  TO  THE  WIL- 
LIAMS RECORD  -  In  a  special 
Iihune  interview  with  RECORD 
Editor  Ame  Carlson,  Sanford 
Segal,  a  correspondent  for  the 
Wesieyan  ARGUS,  revealed 
that,  if  all  goes  as  planned, 
Eph's  masculine  Little  Three  ri- 
val will  be  all-male  no  more.  By 
September,  1957,  Wesieyan  will 
institute  a  plan  of  "co-ordinate 
education", 

Williams'  Dean  Robert  R.  R. 
Brooks,  who  is  a  Wesieyan  a- 
lumnus.  was  consulted  by  his 
alma  mater  concerning  the 
"co-ordinate  education"  plan. 
Speaking  as  a  Wcs  graduate,  he 
expressed  approval  of  the  idea. 
As  the  momentous  decision  was 
released  to  the  Wesieyan  under- 
graduate body  only  last  Mon- 
day evening,  no  immediate  stu- 
dent opinion  was  available. 

Briefly,  the  M'iddletown, 
Conn.  University  hopes  to  buy 
the  buildings  of  a  now  state 
owned  school  (which  the  state 
is  going  to  movel  presently  call- 
ed The  Long  Lane  School  for 
Retarded  Cirls.  The  buildings 
arc  about  two  miles  away  from 
the   Wes  campus. 

These  buildings  would  be  >is- 
cd  to  accommodate  female  stu- 
dents who,  under  "co-ordinate 
education",  would  use  univer- 
sity facilities  and  attend  co-ed 
classes.  The  relation  would  be 
much  the  same  as  that  of  Har- 
vard to  Radcliffe. 

One  main  advantage  of  the 
proposed  plan,  said  Segal, 
would  be  "to  take  care  of  the 
problem  of  expansion",  in  A- 
merican  centers  of  higher  edu- 
cation. 

The  Wesieyan  administration 
plans  to  submit  a  petition  to  the 
C-nnectio'jt  state  'csiilalarc, 
convening  in  January,  1957, 
asking  permission  to  buy  the 
vacant  buildings.  If  it  Is  grant- 
ed, renovation  will  commence 
and  the  "co-ordinate"  part  of 
Wesieyan  will  be  opened  to  fe- 
male occupants  in  September, 
1957. 

Although  there  will  be  defi- 
nite ties  with  Wesieyan,  the 
new  addition  will  also  have  its 
own  science  and  liberal  arts 
branches  as  well  as  a  teacher 
program. 


^Managers'  Finish 
Big  Smash  Plans 

'Spring  Training'  Begins 
With  Dance,  Cocktails 


Saturday,  Mar.  3  -  The  fresh- 
man and  sophomore  classes  are 
winding  up  their  plans  for  the 
opening  of  their  "spring  training" 
next  Saturday  with  the  "Pre- 
Spring  Smash".  This  annual  e- 
vent  is  intended  to  ready  the  play- 
ers for  a  successful  spring  season 
and  break  up  the  tedium  often 
accounted  to  heavy  snow  in  the 
Bcrkshires. 

The  weekend  opens  at  five  o'- 
clock In  the  afternoon  when  "rook- 
ies and  seasoned  veterans"  from 
Skidmore,  Smith,  Vassar,  and 
other  Williams'  farm  organiza- 
tions will  meet  with  their  Williams 
teammates  In  the  Rathskellar  for 
a  cocktail  party.  Pre-dlnner  enter- 
tainment will  be  provided  by 
Phlnney's  Favorite  Five  and  the 
two  frosh  octets. 

Ralph  Stuart  to  Play 

Following  the  meal,  the  students 
will  have  time  to  get  Into  uniform 
for  the  first  practice  session  which 
will  start  at  nine  o'clock  in  the 
freshman  lounge.  The  "players" 
will  circle  the  floor  to  the  strains 
of  Ralph  Stuart's  band. 

"Pre-Sprlng  Smash"  manager 
Herb  Varnum  planned  the  affair 
with  the  assistance  of  frosh 
coaches  Hank  Foltz,  Bruce  Lister- 
man,  and  Kurht  Weineke,  while 
Larry  Nilsen  of  the  sophomore 
staff  has  been  a  great  aid.  Var- 
num has  expressed  the  hope  that 
"the  smash  will  achieve  its  goal 
of  giving  all  a  good  time  while 
creating  a  greater  unity  between 
the  freshman  and  sophomore 
classes". 


Freshman  Council 
Meets  to  Discuss 
Ideas  for  Spring 

Prexy  Listerman  Plans 
More  Responsibilities 
For  Old,  New  Reps 


Wednesday,  Feb.  29  -  The  Fresh- 
man Council  held  their  first  meet- 
ing of  the  second  semester  tonight 
and  discussed  many  pertinent 
topics  concerning  this  term.  Pre- 
sident Bruce  Listerman  presided 
over  the  Council,  composed  of  the 
members  elected  in  each  entry 
la.st  week. 

The  members  that  have  been  i  e- 
elected  from  the  first  council  are 
Bob  Togneri,  Sage  C;  Pete  Will- 
mott,  Williams  F;  Jack  Betz,  Wil- 
liams E:  Herb  Varnum,  Williams 
D;  and  Dick  Wydlck.  Lehman  Hall. 
Elected  for  the  first  time  are 
Chuck  Dunkel,  Sage  A;  Bill  Bene- 
dict and  Jack  Hyland,  Sage  B; 
Steve  Saunders,  Sage  D;  Bob 
Hatcher,  Williams  A;  Dan  Rankin, 
Williams  B;  and  Bill  Moomaw, 
Lehman  Hall.  Vic  VanValin,  Sage 
E;  Joe  Prendergast.  Sage  F  and 
Bob  McAlaine,  Williams  C  were 
elected  to  take  the  place  of  the 
class  officers  who  were  not  eligible 
for  election. 

Spring  Houseparty 

Bruce  Listerman  exp!-esF.ed  the 
hope  that  with  the  advent  of  the 
new  term,  the  Entry  Rep.5  would 
have  more  duties  and  thus  disperse 
the  responsibilities  on  a  wider 
raniie.  He  also  stated  that  he  In- 
tended to  keep  the  boys  on  the 
first  council  but  not  reelected  in 
an  s  stive  role  throughout  the  vnar. 
He  immediately  made  good  his 
wish  by  dividing  the  council  into 
smaller  committees  to  work  on  the 
coming  Spring  Houseparty  Week- 
end. 

Prendergast  and  Wydick  were 
placed  in  charge  of  the  entertain- 
ment for  the  weekend,  with  the 
present  plan  calling  for  a  student 
show  in  the  afternoon.  Togneri 
was  given  the  job  of  finding  rooms 
for  the  freshmen  during  that 
weekend  and  VanValin  will  be  in 
chaige  of  publicity.  Hatcher,  Moo- 
maw and  Kuhrt  Wieneke  will  do 
the  decorations.  With  these  vari- 
ous groups  all  working  together 
the  council  feels  that  they  can 
make  this  houseparty  the  best  one 
yet.

ondary Education  Board,  President  [ajnes  P.  Baxter  of  Williams

Baxter  States  Basis 
For  ROTC  Decision 


Wednesday,  Mar.  7  -  The  RE- 
CORD, in  its  Issue  of  Feb.  29, 
failed  to  make  clear  the  reasons 
for  administration's  decision  to 
close  the  Williams  AFROTC 
program.  The  President's  office, 
in  a  press  release  on  the  subject, 
states  that  "this  decision  by  the 
College  is  not  based  on  any  lack 
of  interest  In  preparedness,  but 
to  the  damaging  effects  on  stu- 
dent morale  of  frequent  changes 
in  Air  Force  policy  and  to  dis- 
satisfaction with  the  curricu- 
lum which  seems  too  'academic' 
for  Air  Force  officers  to  teach 
readily.  President  Baxter  ex- 
pressed pride  in  the  high  quali- 
ty of  the  officers  produced  by 
the  Williams  ROTC  unit  and 
admiration  for  Major  Huether. 
its  commander,  and  the  officer.s 
on  his  staff.

Candidates  in  Languages  Classics 
To  Follow  New  Honors  Program 

by  Dick  Davis 

Editor's  note: 

This  is  the  sixth  in  a  scries  of  articles  on  the  renovated  honors 
proi^ram,  and  deals  with  the  Classics,  German,  and  Romanic  lan- 
fiuuff's  Depart  men  ts. 

A  candidate  for  honois  in  either  the  Classics,  German  or  Bo- 
manic  Laguages  majors  will  have  a  much  broader  choice  of  hon- 
ors work  than  those  who  went  before  him.  Only  in  the  Classics 
Department  will  he  be  compelled  to  wnite  a  thesis,  as  both  the 
CJerman  and  Romanic  Language  honors  plans  pro\ide  for  two  full 
\ears  of  seminar  ijarticipation.  in  addition  to  the  standard  thesis 
route. 

Classics 

Though  the  Classics  honor  student  nuist  write  a  thesis,  the 
piogram  has  a  goodly  number  of  variations.  If  he  so  chooses,  the 
student  may  sjjend  both  semesters  of  the  junior  and  senior  year 
preiiaring  his  thesis.  He  may,  however,  elect  to  confine  bis  work 
on  a  the'  is  to  the  senior  year,  and  take  two  honors  seminars  to  ful- 
fill re<]uirements  for  the  junior  year. 

Kor  the  specialist  in  Greek,  there  will  be  one  seminar  offere<l 
in  each  semester  of  the  year.  The  first,  Greek  SlOl,  is  termed 
"Homer  and  the  Epic",  and  includes  reading  in  the  original.  Greek 
S102.  the  second  semester  course,  is  entitled  "Attic  Drama".  I^ike- 
wise,  the  Latin  side  of  the  Deiiartment  off  its  one  seminar  per 
semester.  The  SlOl  coinse  deals  with  Cicero,  and  the  S102  course 
treats  "N'irgil  and  the  Poetry  of  the  Modern  Age". 

Gcriiiflii 

The  honors  aspirant  in  German  has  a  choice  of  two  tyjies  of 
work.  He  inav  qualify  by  writing  a  thesis  in  his  senior  year,  or  he 
mav  select  four  semesters  of  seminars.  In  either  case,  the  two  jun- 
ior year  seminars  must  be  taken.  In  the  first  half  of  the  year,  the 
study  centers  around  the  era  of  Goethe.  The  S102  course  is  con- 
cerned with  'Drama  of  the  Nineteenth  Centurv".  Tlie  prereqviisite 
for  both  courses  is  German  5-6,  and  as  in  all  other  departments, 
the  regvdar  setiuence  courses  of  the  major  are  required. 

If  the  student  elects  two  more  honors  seminars  for  study  in 
See  Page  4,  Col.  3 


As  corrective  measures  for  "this 
shocking  waste",  Dr.  Baxter  ad- 
vocated an  increase  in  the  volume 
of  scholarships,  and  suggested  that 
greater  attempts  be  made  at 
counseling  to  rouse  interest  in 
higher  education. 

Earlier  Counseling  Needed 

Dr.  Baxter  favored  a  plan  by 
which  the  student  was  made  aware 
of  the  opportunities  that  colleges 
offered  early  in  his  secondary 
school  career.  "More  students 
would  do  better",  he  said,  "if  they 
knew  from  the  start  that  scholar- 
ship assistance  for  college  work 
would  be  made  available  to  those 
with  need  and  good  scholastic  re- 
cords. Many  promising  boys  and 
girls  are  counseled  about  college 
too  late  in  their  high  school  car- 
eers to  take  the  course  work  pre- 
scribed for  college  entrance." 

"Clearly,  the  counseling  must  be 
improved,  extended  backward  at 
least  to  the  ninth  grade  and  ex- 
tended outward  to  include  the  par- 
ents as  well  as  the  child."  In  line 
with  the  theme  of  the  conference— 
"The  Gifted  Student" — Dr.  Bax- 
ter emphasized  that  "early  identi- 
ficaUou  uf  the  liiglily  gifted  is  es- 
sential". 

Keller  Speaks 

Yesterday  at  the  opening  ses- 
sion of  the  two  day  conference. 
Professor  Charles  R.  Keller,  di- 
rector of  the  College  Entrance 
Boards  advanced  placement  pro- 
gram and  history  professor  at 
Williams  College,  levelled  an  in- 
dictment at  college  faculties.  He 
stated  that  college  professors 
should  "move  off"  their  campuses 
occasionally  and  look  behind  the 
curtain  that  separates  them  from 
the  secondary  schools.  They  were 
accused  of  a  failure  to  understand 
the  human  product  delivered  to 
them,  and  consequently,  instead 
of  challenging  and  encouraging  the 
gifted  freshman,  they  were  boring 
him  with  traditional  repetition. 

Professor  Keller  stressed  the  fact 
that  there  is  no  single  point  where 
the  gifted  student  deviated  from 
the  mediocre,  but  that  he  must 
deviate  continuously  from  the  nor- 
mal line.  Under  the  present  set- 
up, Keller  asserted  that  "To  too

Sophomore    Reps 
Discuss  Car  Pool 


Wednesday,  Feb.  29  -  The  Soph- 
omore Council  held  its  first  meet- 
ing of  the  second  semester  last 
Wednesday  in  the  Student  Union. 
The  meeting,  presided  over  by 
sophomore  president,  Larry  Nil- 
sen,  was  so  poorly  attended  that 
most  of  the  time  was  spent  in 
discussing  the  functions  of  the 
Council  and  what  it  hopes  to  do 
for  the  remainder  of  the  year. 

One  of  the  things  accompli.shed 
was  that  the  car  pool  is  finally 
goin,7  to  be  straightened  out.  Each 
week  every  fraternity  house  makes 
up  a  sheet  of  rides  offered  and 
lately  some  of  the  houses  have 
been  forgetting  this.  Roger  Hed- 
rick  was  put  in  charge  of  remind- 
ing each  week  those  houses  which 
forget  to  make  up  their  sheet. 
Thus  al!  rides  should  be  posted  by 
Friday  night  of  each  week.  For 
convenience  sake  there  Is  going 
to  be  a  section  of  the  bulletin 
board  in  the  Student  Union  spe- 
cifically devoted  to  the  car  pool. 


THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  MARC;il  7,  195(j 


Epidemic  of  Bristling  Speculation 
Travels  Length  of  Spring  Street 

bi/  Sciiicti/  Uditaill 
Spiiuj^  Street,  tliat  \crital>le  tiuditioii-soakfcl  center  of  activity 
for  both  town  and  college,  is  tairiy  bri.stlinn  these  days  with  a  rip- 
j)hng  wave  of  nni(|ue  speenhition  .  . .  speeuhition  over  its  lutnre, 
its  \ery  e.vistanee. 

Trne  to  small  town  lore,  i>\eiyone  along  the  strt^et  seems  to 
know  something  aliout  it,  and  vet  there  is  nothing  reallv  definitj' 
one  can  pnt  a  finger  on.  lu'w  know  mneh  ahont  it  and  those  few 
don't  seem  to  be  talking;  bnt  speculation  and  rnmor  are  reacliing 
rare  heights  for  the  usually  sedate,  trantjiiil  'Village  IJeautiful". 
.Most  people  are  jnst  emions,  although  some,  with  apparent  good 
reason,  may  he  just  a  little  hothereel  hv  it. 
I'Ih-  Storij 
Briefly,  the  situation  is  this:  The  college  owns  a  large  pi-r- 
centage  of  the  buildings  and  properties  on  the  east  side  (  Huduick's 
side)  of  Spring  Street.  In  fact,  with  the  exception  of  the  post  office 
and  King's  theatre-stori'  building,  the  administration  controls  al- 
most everything  from  the  gym  clown  through  the  alunmi  house, 
or  \irtually  the  entire  length  of  one  lialf  of  the  town's  main  busi- 
ness district. 

Some  institutions,  hke  liudnick's  for  example,  own  long  term 
leases  and,  as  a  result,  ha\e  no  worries.  But  there  is  one  piece  of 
pro|)erty,  extending  from  the  S(|uasli  Court  driveway  through  15as- 
tien's  Jewelry  Store,  upon  which  the  lease  is  about  to  expire.  Most 
of  the  controversy  centers  on  this  area.  The  lease  here,  originally 
signed  for  five  years,  runs  out  in  only  two  and  one-half  more  years, 
and  speculation  is  subtly  flowing  up  and  down  Spring  Street  over 
whether  the  college  will  then  take  o\er  the  property  at  that  time 
for  construction  ])inposes. 

The  jiroperty  immediately  concerned  contains  the  Steele  and 
Cleary  Garage,  Mederic  Bleau  appointment  barber  shop,  the 
Sfiuare  Deal  Store,  the  Williams  News  lioom  and  Bastien's  jewelrv 
Store.  The  consensus  seems  to  indicate  that  the  next  series  of  es- 
tablishments, from  McClelland  Press  down,  is  not  in  any  immedi- 
ate danger. 

Of  course  it  must  be  emphasized  that  this  is  all  rinnor  and 
specidation  on  the  jiart  of  townsijcoplc.  The  school  has  said  ab- 
.solutely  nothing  about  it  to  anyone.  Even  the  owners  of  the  stores 
invohed  have  been  given  no  indication  if  their  leases  will  be  re- 
newed when  the  time  comes.  I5ut  the  point  remains  that  the  whole 
town  litterally  is  talking  about  it.  This  intense  interest  on  the  part 
of  the  local  citizenry  is  mirrored  by  .\rtbnr  Bastien,  proprietor 
of  Bastien's  jewelry  Store,  who  noted  that  "hardly  a  week  goes  by 
when  someone  doesn't  come  in  here  to  ask  about  it ". 
Sample  Remarks 
A  sampling  of  some  of  the  typical  remarks  heard  downtown; 
Tlie  school  fa\-ors  Sjiring  Street  for  further  expansion  because  it 
is  the  center  of  the  cam|His  .  .  .  the  proposed  building  may  be  a 
new  dorm,  classroom  building  or  an  extension  of  the  gym  (Ath- 
letic Director  Frankie  Thorns  stronglv  doubted  the  latter  since 
he  said  "there  is  really  nothing  more  we  need  heie  in  the  gym  be- 
sides more  seats  for  the  basketball  court")  .  .  .  The  affected  mer- 
chants "just  didn't  know ",  "will  have  to  wait  and  see "  and  "hope  for 
the  best"  .  .  .  even  some  of  the  SiJring  Street  merchants  in  no  dan- 
ger of  being  disfranchised,  were  ujjset .  .  .  they  say  a  college  buil- 
ding in  that  important  spot  would  not  onlv  depreciate  the  \ahie 
of  their  )Droperty  but,  more  imijortant,  would  cut  down  the  amount 
of  commercial  traffic  on  S])ring  Street,  ultimately  hinting  their 
business  .  .  .  this  in  addition  to  forcing  more  peo])le  to  the  rival 
Colonial  Shopping  Center  on  Route  2,  which  has  already  cut  ixy>- 
preciablv  into  Spring  Street  revenue. 

So  the  Old  Village  is  keejiing  a  slunp  watch  on  all  |iroceedings. 
Few  townspeople  want  to  see  anything  hajijien  to  tlicii-  beltned 
Spring  Street.  The  same  may  well  be  said  of  many  students  a'ld 
alumni,  who  are  quite  fond  of  the  time-honored  a\enne  and  its 
respectable  history  stretching  back  over  some  110  years.  Who 
knows,  perhaps  one  of  Williams'  best-lo\ed  and  most  highly  cher- 
ished traditions  may  be  in  some  danger  ...  at  any  rate,  all  eves 
are  on  the  administration  and  trustees;  the  next  step  is  theirs.

I'o  the  Editor  of  tlie  RECORD; 

In  the  issue  of  Wednesilay,  l-'ehrnarv  9lh,  jim  Patterson  re- 
luted  an  article  written  earlier  by  Stephen  Uos<'  on  "Di\ision 
Clonrses  and  the  Divided  Mind",  in  which  Rose  proposed  that 
stuilents  should  tiecidc  what  courses  fhe\'  will  t;ikc  :nid  not  be 
restricted  bv  division  re(|nirements.  lit'  s;iid  he  thought  Mr.  Rose 
was  all  wet;  1  think  Mr.  I'attersou  is  all  wet. 

Mr.  Patterson  says  that  "by  being  forced'  to  take  cour.ses  in 
all  lields  he  (the  sludent)  can  choose  in  his  junior  sear  what  field 
I  he  is  most  interested  iu  ",  that  a  Freshman  hv  being  put  in  divisions 
'  to  broack'u  his  outlook  is  not  hiced  at  entrance  to  collegi'  with  the 
(|uestion  ol  what  course  he  nnist  major  iu,  and  that  bv  being  .so 
diversified  a  student  is  exposed  to  man\  lields  ;ukI  may  even 
change  his  mind  on  his  major. 

.\s  1  see  it,  nobody  is  asking  a  Freshman  to  decide  what  he 
wants  to  major  in  under  any  system.  When  ;i  student  does  mak<' 
his  decision  at  the  end  of  so|)h()more  ve;ir,  is  this  a  result  of  t;iking 
a  wide  number  of  courses  that  he  would  not  hiivc  otherwise,  or  is 
it  by  gaining  a  general  knowledge  of  his  own  real  interests  and 
abilities  that  he  could  have  acquired  jnst  as  well,  if  not  better, 
when  given  a  free  choice  in  the  matter':' 

Doubtless,  the  system  of  a  student  choosing  :ill  his  courses 
is  a  great  boon  to  the  la/y,  those  who  do  not  want  to  be  bothered 
taking  such  courses  as  Chemistry  1-2,  as  Mr.  Patterson  said,  where 
one  is  forced  into  a  "way  of  thinking"  that  may  be  alien  to  him.  1 
do  not  dispute  this  ])oint,  but  I  wonder  just  how  nnich  the  lazy 
are  forced  to  think  under  the  present  well-regulated  system. 

Mr.  P;itterson  says  that  "a  liberal  ;nts  eilucation  ...  is  not  spe- 
cificallv  ilesigned  to  give  a  graduate  a  good  starting  salary... 
There  are  thousands  of  colleges  in  this  country  which  can  give  a 
student  direct  speciali/eil  training  h)r  a  career."  I  ;igree  coniplete- 
1)',  and  I  doubt  that  vou  could  find  numv  in  disagreement.  Taking 
nineteen  courses  at  Williams  and  being  forced  hv  proximitv  to 
come  iu  contact  with  the  personalities  that  one  does,  it  would  be 
difficult  not  to  get  a  broati  education  here.  Why,  then,  should  not 
this  be  enough?  Whv  bore  or  aggrav;ite  the  student  with  a  field 
in  which  he  has  no  interest?  Does  not  the  present  system  do  more 
harm  than  good  in  inciting  student  interest  iu  "the  books"?  If  a 
bov  is  enthusiastic  enough  to  take  seventeen  of  his  uincteeji  cours- 
es in  the  sciences,  whv  not  k't  him? 

Very  sinceiciv, 
Warren  Clark  Jr. 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

The  plan  that  allows  uppercla.ssnien  to  cat  with  the  freshmen 
at  Raxti'r  Hall  every  week  is  a  good  plan.  .\t  !e;ist  it  is  a  step  to- 
wards increasing  the  congenial  relationship  that  should  exist  be- 
tween freshmen  and  upperchissmi'n.  II  the  upperclassmen  were 
given  the  opportunity  to  Ciit  with  the  freshmi'n  cverv  week,  there 
would  1)0  a  chance  tor  the  two  to  intermingle  and  thus  increase 
the  eomnumitv  spirit  which  is  a  vital  factor  in  the  stutlcnt's  ex- 
perience at  Willi;nns  Collegia.  One  of  the  most  inherent  wrongs 
in  the  deferred  rushing  svstem  as  it  now  stands  is  the  lack  of  op- 
])ortimitv  the  n|)|)erclassnien  h;ive  of  nu'eting  the  freshmen  ;uid 
getting  to  know  them.  Fating  at  liaxti'r  Hall  eveiv  week  would 
increase  the  close  and  friendlv  relationshi])  that  should  exist  and 
uliirli  (Iocs-  mil  exist  noir.  The  plan  h;is  ;i  serious  drawback  in  that 
eight  houses  dirtv  rushed  last  fall.  Hut  il  upperclassmen  can  eat 
with  the  freshmen  and  prouMte  closer  relations  then  we  can  work 
to  revise  the  rules  which  pertain  to  ;i  delinition  ol  dirtv  rushing. 
Forget  about  dirtv  rushing  and  remember  the  lar  reaching  bene- 
fits of  allowing  greater  o|)portimities  for  the  upperclassmen  and 
the  freshmen  to  develop  closer  ties  among  each  other.  II  the  plan 
caimot  be  accepted  then  there  is  one  more  alternativi'.  The  tresh- 
lueii  can  take  the  initiative  and  invite  upperckissmen  to  uie;ils  ii

such  a  thing  because  the  upperclassmen  want  to  h:iv  e  more  con-

remember  is  that  our  rushing  system  does  not  allow  easv  contact

we  must  continuously  strive  to  find  means  wherebv  closer  associ-

'All  Time  Great  Rinky  -  Dink'  Ends  Career 
On  Bizarre  Note  in  Amherst  Cage  Game 

Tlie  closing  chapter  to  one  of  the  most  unirsual  athletic  car- 
eers in  Williams'  history  was  penned  in  a  bla/e  of  glorv  during  the 
hiding  .seconds  of  the  Amherst  basketball  game. 

When  Billy  Evans,  fiery  senior  guard,  rifled  in  a  neat  2.'5-h)ot 
set  shot  with  less  thn  10  seconds  remaining,  it  marked  a  fitting  — 
and  ironic  —  tribute  to  a  turbident  story  ol  the  person  m;mv  call 
"Williams'  All-Time  Great  Rinky-Dink  ". 

A  winner  of  five  varsity  letters  and  three  sets  of  Frosh  num- 
erals here,  Evans,  after  a  brilliant  high  school  eareei,  experienced 
an  uncommon  series  of  bad  breaks  which  prevented  him  from 
attaining  the  stardom  for  which  he  surely  seemed  destined.  Yet, 
this  "Rinkv-Dink  to  end  all  Rinkv-Diuks"  remained  to  the  bitter 
end  a  loyal  and  valuable  performer  on  both  the  gridiron  and  court.

THE  GRIM  AND  GRISLY  ADVENTURES  OF 
NORBERT  SIGAFOOS,  AMERICAN 

If  you  squeam,  read  no  further,  for  today's  column  is  not  for 
the  squeamish. 

It  is  a  harrowing  story  which  begins  in  1946  when  Norbert 
Sigafoos,  an  ichthyology  major  from  UCLA,  went  on  a  (ieUl  trip 
with  his  class  to  Monterey  Bay  to  study  the  many  fi.sh  and 
crustaceans  who  make  their  homes  in  these  waters. 

But  truth  to  tell,  Norbert  wa.s  not  very  interested  in  ichthyol- 
ogy. What  he  was  interested  in  was  television,  which  in  194t) 
was  an  exciting  new  infant  industry.  While  his  classmates 
leaned  over  the  rail  of  the  boat,  studying  the  tunny  and  amber- 
jack  which  swarmed  below,  Norbert  just  leaned  and  thought 
about  television.  Thus  preoccupied,  he  fell  overboard  and,  all 
unnoticed,  was  washed  far  out  to  sea. 

A  strong  swimmer,  Norbert,  after  43  days,  sighted  land— a 
tiny  atoll,  far  away  from  the  normal  sea  lanes.  Tired  but  happy, 
he  clambered  ashore.  Being  a  college  man,  he  was,  of  course, 
fearless,  resourceful,  and  clean  in  mind,  body,  and  spirit.  Me 
built  himself  a  snug  shelter,  fashioned  traps  for  animals,  wove 
fishing  lines,  and  arranged  day  and  night  signals  to  attract 
any  passing  ships. 


"*'<7/«//^v'c^i^^iw^;^^;"^/^/6-  {ojan^iMfiAii^'^ 


Though  nine  years  went  by,  Norbert  never  abandoned  hope 
of  being  rescued.  At  long  last,  his  patience  was  rewarded.  On 
October  M.  1955,  he  was  picked  up  by  the  Portuguese  tanker, 
Molhj  O'Day. 

Ralph  Gomez,  the  ship's  captain,  greeted  Norbert  with  a 
torrent  of  Portugue.se.  "Do  you  speak  English?"  Norbert  asked. 

"A  little,"  said  Ralph  Gomez,  which  was  no  less  than  the 
truth.  He  did  speak  a  little  English:  two  words.  They  were  "a" 
and  "little." 

But,  withal,  he  was  a  good  hearted  man,  and  he  gave  Norbert 
fresh  clothes,  a  razor,  and  a  cheroot. 

"No,  thank  you,"  said  Norbert  to  the  cigar.  "I'm  a  Philip 
Morris  man  myself.  Have  you  ever  smoked  Philip  Morris?" 

"A  little,"  said  Ralph  Gomez. 

"Then  you  know  what  I  mean  when  I  talk  about  their  yummy 
goodness,  their  delicately  reared  tobaccos,  their  soothing,  con- 
soling, uplifting,  unfailing  gentleness-pack  after  pack  after 
pack."  said  Norbert. 

"A  little,"  said  Ralph  Gomez. 

"I  suppose  you're  wondering,"  said  Norbert,  "how  I  kept  my 
sanity  during  all  those  years  on  the  island." 

"A  little,"  said  Ralph  Gomez. 

"Well,  I'll  tell  you,"  said  Norbert.  "I've  been  thinking  about 
television  because  that's  what  I  want  to  go  into  when  I  get  back. 
For  nine  years  I've  been  sitting  on  that  island  thinking  up 
brand  new  shows  for  television.  And  I've  got  some  marvelous 
new  ideas!  I've  got  one  terrific  idea  for  a  show  where  a  panel 
of  exports  tries  to  guess  people's  occupations.  'What's  My  Line?' 
I  call  it.  Then  I've  got  one,  a  real  doozy,  where  you  pull  some- 
body unexpectedly  out  of  the  studio  audience  and  do  his  whole 
life  story.  'This  Is  Your  Life,'  I  call  it.  But  that's  not  all!  I 
thought  up  a  real  gut-buster  of  an  idea  for  a  quiz  show  where 
you  give  away  not  $64,  not  $6400,  but-get  this,  Ralph  Gomez- 
$6i,000!  Wow,  I  can  hardly  wait  to  get  back  to  the  States  and

men  who  were  able  to  finish  the 
coui.se  with  1:36.0.  In  the  class  C

Swimmers  Defeat  Amherst,  43  -  41; 
Lewis  Lowers  Backstroke  Record 


hi/  SiiiK  lal  Bunch 
Satuida\',  March  3  -  The  Williams  varsity  swiimniiig  team 
deleated  .\iiilierst  43-41  in  the  .Amherst  pool  this  afternoon  for  its 
thirhciitli  consecutive  win  over  the  Lord  |efls  and  its  thirteenth 
consecutive  Little  Tliii'e  swimiiiiiig  championship.  Peter  Lewis 
turned  in  the  only  recoid-hreakiiig  perlonnaiice  ol  the  day  as 
(Joach   IJol)   Muir's  sipiad  appeared  in  its  lust  dual  meet  of  tlie 

Ocurrent  season. 

In  a  relatively  easy  race  the  300- 
yard  medley  relay  team  of  Lewis, 
Bob  Severance  and  Dan  Chapman 
pulled  steadily  ahead  to  win,  and 
Peter  Dietz  and  Bill  Jenks  swept 
the  220  to  put  the  Ephs  in  an 
early  13-1  lead.  Buster  Grossman 
and  Bob  Jones  swept  the  diving, 
and  Dietz  and  Jenks  also  swept 
the  440. 

Lewis  Breaks  Record 
Amherst  star  Bob  Keiter  was 
hard  pressed  to  win  the  50  and 
100  as  Eph  co-captain  Kirt  Gard- 
ner churned  the  distances  only 
inches  behind  to  take  second.  Lew- 
is broke  his  own  record  in  the 
200  yard  backstroke  with  a  2:18.6 
performance  while  Amherst's  Son- 
ny Hollister  nosed  out  Evan  Wil- 
liams for  second  place  in  the  e- 
vent. 

Amherst  swept  the  individual 
medley  and  the  backstroke,  but 
the  meet  was  assured  in  the  sweep 
of  the  440  by  Williams.  With  the 
point  for  breaststroke  third  place 
the  meet  was  clinched,  and  Am- 
herst went  on  to  win  the  400  free- 
style relay  in  a  respectable  3:37.5. 
The  swimmers  have  compiled  a 
6-2  recoi'd  for  the  season  with 
wins  over  Connecticut,  Union, 
Springfield,  Bowdoin,  Wesleyan 
and  Amherst,  and  narrow  losses  to 
strong  Syracuse  and  Colgate 
squads.  The  team  will  travel  to 
MIT  for  the  New  Englands  this 
weekend. 


Varsity  Pucksters 
Conquer  Amherst 

Flood,  Holman  Star; 
Frosh    Dump    Jeffs 

Amherst,  Mar.  3  -  Both  the  Wil- 
liams varsity  and  freshman  hockey 
squads  concluded  their  seasons 
with  victories  over  Amherst.  Coach 
McCormick  considered  the  varsity 
at  its  .season's  peak  during  the  7-2 
victory,  as  good  defensive  play 
and  a  hustling  offense  character- 
ized the  victor's  play. 

Skating  hard  from  the  start,  the 
Ephmen  tallied  three  goals  in  the 
first  ten  minutes.  Assisted  by  Dave 
Cook  at  1:35,  Dick  Lombard  scor- 
ed from  15  feet  on  a  screened 
.shot.  At  6:41  Captain  Bob  Bethune 
netted  the  second  Purple  goal.  De- 
fenseman  John  Holman  then 
picked  up  a  loose  puck  and  scored 
una.ssisted. 

Accurate  shooting  led  to  two 
moi'e  Williams  goals  in  the  second 
period.  Tom  Von  Stein  took  Dick 
Flood's  pass  and  scored  at  8:48. 
Following  Amherst's  initial  goal 
by  Bruce  Biddle,  Dave  Wood  scor- 
ed the  Eph's  fifth  goal. 

Amherst  opened  the  final  peri- 
od with  Andy  Anderson's  tally  at 
0:51.  but  Cook  retaliated  at  9:05 
on  a  long  backhand  drive,  assisted 
by  Doug  Poole.  Dick  Flood  ram- 
med in  the  final  goal  from  25 
feet,  assisted  by  Tony  Bradley. 

Led  by  Tom  Piper  and  Woody 
Burgert,  the  Williams  freshmen 
romped  to  a  5-1  victory.  Following 
the  contest,  the  team  elected  de- 
fenseman  Tom  Piper  captain.  Bur- 
gert netted  two  first-period  goals, 
assisted  by  Bob  Lowden,  Mike 
Grant  and  Gerry  Higgins. 

Defenseman  Pirn  Goodbody  scor- 
ed at  14:02  on  a  screened  shot 
from  the  blue  line. 

Prom  a  face-off  Buzz  'Van  Sant 
popped  in  the  fourth  Eph  goal  at 
13:53  of  the  second  fi-ame.  With  14 
seconds  remaining.  Piper  fed  to 
Bill  Miller  who  soloed  in  for  the 
final  tally.

Jeff  Swim  Team 


Win  Little  Three  Crown 
In  Final  Meet,  40-35 


Saturday,  Mar.  3  -  The  Williams 
Freshman  swimming  team  this  af- 
ternoon snapped  back  from  an 
early  deficit  to  defeat  the  Am- 
herst Jeffs,  45-30,  to  win  the  Lit- 
tle Three  freshman  swimming 
crown.  The  team  took  seven  of  the 
nine  first  places,  several  of  them 
by  very  narrow  margins  over  an 
underrated  Jeff  squad. 

Amherst  won  the  medley  relay 
in  an  unexpectedly  strong  showing, 
after  which  Don  Lum,  swimming 
for  the  Ephs  for  the  second  time, 
won  the  200  in  a  close  race.  Chip 
Ide  won  the  50  easily  with  a  23.3 
performance,  and  Alec  Reeves  did 
the  same  in  1:38.1  in  the  indivi- 
dual medley.  David  Ransom  scor- 
ed an  upset  in  the  diving,  and  Ide 
won  his  second  event  of  the  day 
with  a  53.2  100. 

Tatem  Wins 

Hem-y  Tatem  came  from  be- 
hind to  a  hairbreadth  win  in  the 
100  yard  backstroke  and  Marty 
Mennen  and  Pete  Culman  took 
second  and  third  in  the  breast- 
stroke  to  cinch  the  meet.  The  200- 
yard  freestyle  relay  team  of  Nick 
Frost,  Jack  Hyland,  Lum  and 
Reeves  added  another  seven  points.

Fitzell  Presents  Faculty  Lecture, 
Talks  on  Poetic  Art  of  Weinheber 


Thursday,  Maicli  J  -  Hoiiiy  J.  Fit/.t'll,  an  liistiiictoi  in  (Jcnnan, 
delivi'icd  a  lecture  this  altciiuion  on  "The  World  ol  |o,si'l  VVcin- 
hf'hi'r".  Addressing;  a  lar^c  audience  in  the  Lectiue  room  ol  the 
Tiuimpson  liiolojjy  Lah,  Mr.  Fit/ell  spoke  of  josef  VVeinheher, 
whom  he  called  "one  of  the  greatest  Austrian  poets",  in  context 
with  tlie  world  of  Nazism  in  which  Weinheber  lived  and  wrote. 

Mr.  l'"itzell  began  his  lecture  by  sayini;  that  one  unrst  sindv 
the  entire  body  of  a  poet's  work,  rather  than  individual  examples, 

before  one  can  form  a  dependable  ^^ 

Interpretation  of  it.  One  must  also 
be  able  to  trace  the  poet's  devel- 
opment as  a  person  to  render  ap- 
parent the  atmosphere  in  which 
he  created.  "The  poet's  world," 
said  Fitzell,  "is  found  in  his  work." 


Poet's  Personality 

Fitzell  went  on  to  describe  Jo- 
sef Weinheber's  personality,  which 
was  dominated  by  three  charac- 
teristics. These  were:  a  deep  con- 
viction of  his  own  greatness  as  a 
poet,  a  sense  of  belonging  to  the 
classical  German  tradition  of  in- 
dividualism, and,  despite  his  ap- 
parent bitterness,  an  "intense  op- 
timism". Fitzell  pointed  out  the 
effect  of  this  personality  on  the 
poet's  work,  giving  numerous  quo- 
tations. 

He  also  spoke  of  the  conflict  of 
such  a  personality  with  the  rising 
star  of  Nazism  in  Germany.  Al- 
though he  was  a  sincere  patriot, 
Weinheber  was  a  politically  con- 
troversial figure  because  of  his 
disagreement  with  tlie  Nazi  atti- 
tude toward  art.

ing to  Journeyin'  Jack  Moxley.

Era  of  Poetic  Realism"  the  first 
semester,  and  "Modern  Prose  Nar-

if  the  student  prefers  more  spe- 
cialization than  the  seminar  route 
avails,  he  may  write  a  thesis  in 
the  senior  year.

Three  alternatives  are  open 
in  the  Romanic  Languages  De-

partment, but  unlike  the  German 
plan,  he  may  spend  four  semes- 
ters of  independent  work  culmin- 
ating in  an  honors  thesis,  or  may 
also  take  two  seminars  in  tlie  jun- 
ior year,  and  write  a  thesis  con- 
ni'cted  with  the  work  done  in  se- 
option,  that  of  participation  in 
four  semesters  of  seminar  work. 

In  French,  a  series  of  three  se-

with  Balzac,  Stendhal,  Zola  and 
Anatole  Prance.  Tlie  prerequisite 
is  French  7-8.  S101b-102b  studies 
the  classical  theatre  and  the  phil- 
osophies, and  S101c-102c  treats 
Marcel  Proust  and  the  modern 
theatre.  Tlie  prerequisites  are

lay team  took  second  place  hon- 
ors in  the  annual  Knlglits  of  Col- 
umbus Games  tonight  in  Madi.son 
Square  Garden.  The  Eph  harriers 
finished  with  a  time  of  3;26.0,  as 
compared  to  the  3:24.5  time  posted 
by  the  winning  St.  Joseph's  squiul 
from  Philadelphia.  Lafayette  took 
third  place,  followed  by  Tufts  and 
Boston  College. 

Tim  Hanan  started  out  and  was 
in  second  place  at  tlie  end  of  his 
leg,  due  to  the  fact  that  his  start- 
ing block  slipped.  His  time,  how- 
ever, was  a  good  51.9.  John  Mur- 
phy, running  for  the  first  time 
this  season,  ran  a  52.8  quarter,  and 
Andy  Smith  followed  with  a  50.7, 
cementing  the  Ephs  in  second 
place.  Anchor  man  Bill  Fox  ran 
the  last  lap  in  50.6.  enabling  tlie 
Pi'.rple  relay  team  to  bring  home 
s.;cond  place  medals. 

The  highlight  of  the  meet  was 
Wes  Santee's  victory  in  tlie  Col- 
umbian  Mile.

In  ills  argument  tiiat  college 
teachers  were  guilty  of  staying  at

"They  seldom  meet  school  teii-

Council  Approves 
Purple  Key  Plan 

Fearon,  Mabie,  Kaufman, 
Repp   Head    Committees 


Monday.  Mai'.  5  -  The  College 
Council  tonight  unanimously  ac- 
cepted the  GaiKoylf  plan  for  thr 
revilallEalion  of  the  now  defunct 
Purple  Key  Society.  Under  the 
new  plan,  which  wii,s  .submitted  to 
the  CC  by  Jim  Edgar  '56,  and 
Bruce  Dayton  '56,  a  previously 
iipathetic  organization  is  expected 
to  gain  new  prestige  and  efficiency. 

The  Gargoyle  proposal  contained 
three  main  changes.  There  will 
be  only  twelve  members  of  the  new 
organization.  The  first  representa- 
tives of  the  new  Key  will  be  an- 
nounced on  Gargoyle  tapping  day 
this  spring.  The  membership  will 
be  made  up  completely  of  Juniors 
who  will  be  chosen  .solely  on  the 
basLs  of  interest  in  atliletlcs  at 
Williams. 

Group   Prestige 

Edgar  expressed  the  liope  that 
the  new  Purple  Key  would  be  ac- 
corded the  prestige  which  is  Its 
due  as  the  main  representative  of 
Williams  to  visiting  athletic  teams. 
After  the  passage  of  the  Gargoyle 
report  the  Council  appointed  Whl- 
lev  Kaufman  '58.  to  head  a  com- 
mittee which  will  attend  a  special 
meeting  of  the  Dartmouth  Green 
Key  society  in  order  to  get  further 
ideas  for  the  new  Eph  group. 

Another  Important  result  of  the 
meeting  was  the  approval  of  ap- 
pointments to  two  Important  Col- 
lege Committees,  the  Student  Un- 
ion Comm..  and  the  Honors  Sys- 
tem and  Discipline  Comm.  F.  R. 
Dengel  '57,  who  presented  the 
.slates,  emphasized  that  the  main 
qualifications  are  "interest  and 
ability". 

Mable   Heads  SU  Comm. 

Jim  Mable  '57,  will  head  the 
new  Student  Union  Committee, 
riie  other  members  will  be  Dick

Question:  Ls  the  Student  Union 
fulfilling  its  proposed  ■  functions'.' 

Jack  Love  '58— I  think  that  the 
Student  Union  is  gaining  in  its 
function  as  a  center  for  student 
activities.  Its  adequate  facilities 
serve  many  student  groups  and  or- 
ganizations. 

I  do,  however,  think  that  there 
is  room  for  improvement  in  many 
places  so  that  the  Student  Union 
can  become  more  important,  ef- 
ficient and  useful  for  the  student 
body. 

First  of  all,  it  is  a  shame  that 
the  newly  renov  ited  Ratliskellar 
is  not  available  for  more  u.se  by 
the  freshmen.  This  could  be  easily 
changed  if  it  were  left  unlocked 
for  longer  liours.  The  union  is 
about  the  only  place  that  fresh- 
men can  entertain  female  guests 
after  6:30.  Why  could  not  the 
Ratliskellar  be  left  open  subject 
to  the  same  hours  that  apply  for 
women  in  fraternities'? 

Another  weak  point  is  the  situ- 
ation in  the  snack  bar.  The  food 
is  fairly  good  and  the  service  is 
friendly  and  efficient  but  the 
helpings  ui  Xuuu  aie  cerLaiuiy  very 
small.  I  am  speaking  particularly 
of  the  ice  cream  and  milk  shakes. 

The  dining  room  facilities  seem 
to  be  fairly  standard;  I  doubt  if 
much  can  be  done  to  improve  this 
except  to  keep  pleading  for  more 
variety  in  the  food  served  and  the 
more  appetizing  preparation  and 
cooking  of  the  food  that  is  avail- 
able. 

The  telephone  situation  ap- 
pears to  be  adequate  at  first 
glance,  but  it  is  often  impossible 
to  get  a  phone  without  waiting 
for  an  hour  or  more.  Possibly  this 
condition  could  be  improved.  May- 
be a  free  phone  could  be  installed 
where  local  calls  only  could  be 
made  without  having  to  spend  fif- 
ty cents  Just  to  call  around  cam-

pus  for  a  ride  somewhere.  This 
could  also  ease  the  constant  use 
of  the  telephone  in  the  RECORD 
office. 

Bob  Ause  '57 — With  respect  to 
the  utilization  of  rooms  for  extra- 
curricular pursuits  and  meetings, 
and  in  its  role  sus  a  focal  point  for 
many  undergraduate  activities,  the 
Student  Union  has  more  than  ful- 
filled its  function.  The  renovation 
of  the  Rathskellar  and  the  shift- 
ing of  furnishings  in  the  upper- 
class  lounge  has  allowed  for  a  bet- 
ter atmosphere  for  small  informal 
discussion  and  conversation. 

I  am  rather  prone  to  disbelieve 
that  the  lounges  serve  the  inti- 
macy desired  by  upperclassmen 
and  freshmen  on  weekends.  This 
is  a  fault  in  the  building's  con- 
struction and  could  be  rectified 
only  uy  pnysicai  changes. 

Don  Myers  '56 — To  answer  in  a 
few  words  the  question  of  whether 
the  Student  Union  has  fulfilled  its 
function  is  a  difficult  task.  We  are 
all  familiar  with  the  opinions  that 
the  Union  is  structually  inade- 
quate. For  example,  the  too-small 
meeting  rooms  have  no  windows 
and  the  lounges  are  used  as  pas- 
.sageways.  Since  we  cannot  alter 
the  architecture,  however,  there 
is  little  to  gain  from  these  argu- 
ments. 

On  the  other  hand.  ii.  an  en- 
tirely different  sense,  the  Union 
has  not  fulfilled  its  purpose.  It 
does  not  draw  as  many  upper- 
classmen into  contact,  with  the 
freshmen  as   it  should.   It   is  the 


Soph  -  Frosh  Smash  Offers  Jazz,  Cocktails,  Dancing; 
Ralph  Stuart's  Music  to  Highlight  Annual  Weekend 


By  Palmer  White 

Saturday,  Mar.  10  -  The  nor- 
mally intellectual  atmosphere  on 
the  Williams  campus  will  be  a- 
bruptly  relieved  tonight  as  the 
Frosh  and  Sophs  take  part  in  the 
"Pre-Sprlng  Smash".  Baxter  Hall 
will  feature  cocktails.  Jazz  and 
dancing  In  this  third  annual 
Frosh-Soph  get-together,  to  which 
upperclassmen  with  dates  are  also 
Invited. 

The  evening  will  officially  begin 
at  5  o'clock  this  afternoon  with  a 
cocktail  party  In  the  Rathskellar. 
In  addition  to  the  orange  blo.ssom 
punch  there  will  be  a  wealth  of 
entertainment.  Phinney's  Favorite 
Five  will  start  it  off  with  several 
Jazz  renditions.  Then  the  two 
Frosh  octets  will  take  over  to  set 
the  mood  for  the  more  serious 
late  evening  business. 

The  Initial  price  of  admission 
for  the  cocktail  party  will  be  $1.50. 
good  for  four  drinks.  The  strong 
stomached  will  have  to  pay  the 
same  price  lor  each  additional 
ticket.  This  blast  will  break  up  at 
6:30  in  time  for  the  participants 
to  make  their  ways  upstairs  to  a 
delightful  Stu-U  dinner,  (not  a 
guest  meal). 

Dance  Planned 

After  a  couple  of  hours  of  re- 
laxation following  dinner,  the 
group  will  gather  at  Baxter  Hall 
again  where  Ralph  Stuart's  band 
will  provide  music  for  listening 
and  dancing.  The  band  will  not 


be  out  of  place  as  It  is  famed  for 
performances  at  eastern  deb  and 
social  circle  parties. 

Herb  Varnum,  Frosh  SC  chair- 
man, has  announced  that  tickets 
for  both  parties  are  available  ei- 
ther through  him,  from  the  entry 
reps,  or  at  the  door.  Attire  is  to  be 
informal,  but  a  requirement  of 
coat  and  tie  for  all  male  attendees 
has  been  set. 

Privileges  Extended 

The  dorm  hours  have  been  ex- 
tended to  allow  girls  in  the  rooms 
on  Saturday  from  12:30  to  5  p.m. 
and  from  7:30  to  9  o'clock.  Follow- 
ing the  dance,  the  rooms  may  be 


used  from  midnight  until  2  a.m. 
The  two  classes  have  also  been 
given  the  opportunity  to  drive  this 
weekend.  This  permission  is  to 
facilitate  bringing  in  the  women 
from  the  neighboring  female  in- 
stitutions. 

This  party  has  been  planned  as 
a  break  between  Winter  House- 
party  and  Spring  Vacation.  Var- 
num and  his  committee  have  work- 
ed long  and  hard  OTi  the  affair 
and  have  put  together  a  gi'oup  of 
attractions  which  make  the  "Pre- 
Sprlng  Smash"  shape  up  as  one  of 
the  top  campus  activities  of  the 
year  and  an  event  well-worth  at- 
tending, 


student  leaders  who  must  utilize 
the  Union  facilities  to  a  much 
greater  degree.  Such  :;vents  as  the 
Soph-Frosh  Smashes  are  only  a 
step  in  the  right  direction. 

The  freslimen,  themselves,  could 
take  a  much  greater  advantage  of 
the  Union  if  it  were  open  later  at 
night.  In  this  connection  there  is 
much  merit  in  the  College  Coun- 
cil proposal  that  the  hours  be  ex- 
tended on  party  weekends. 

Dick  Jackson  '59— Baxter  Hall 
seems  to  be  a  building  of  much 
discussion.  Dave  Connolly  submit- 
ted a  petition  to  be  endorsed  by 
i,he  College  Council  and  the  Fresh- 
man Council  which  recommended 
that  the  Student  Union  building 
be  promoted  as  a  college  center  by 
opening  it  on  weekends  until  3 
a.m.  both  Friday  and  Saturday 
liio"'^  a^id  uii'Lil  IZ  o'clock  on  week- 
days. 

I  go  along  with  Dave  and  think 
that  this  is  a  good  idea.  The  Stu- 


dent Union  does  need  to  be  pro- 
moted as  a  college  center,  and  this 
is  one  step  toward  achieving  this 
goal. 

Tom  Prohock  '56— The  Student 
Union  has  not  fully  realized  its 
potential  role  as  the  center  of  or- 
ganized campus  activity.  It  oper- 
ates with  a  considerable  handicap, 
however,  because  the  design  of  the 
lounges  would  have  been  more  ap- 
propriate for  a  Greyhound  TL-rnii- 
nal;  they  are  now  little  more  tlian 
cau.seways. 

The  newly  redecorated  Rath- 
skellar should  enjoy  increased  use 
in  the  future,  but  only  if  the  door 
is  left  unlocked  will  informal 
groupings  gather  there.  If  later 
weekend  hours  will  foster  increas- 
ed use  of  the  building,  it  is  this 
room  which  will  be  the  most  im- 
portant and  which  could  provide 
some  real  justification  for  such 
action. 

In  general,  the  snack  bar  and 
game  rooms  need  not  remain  open 
later  because  they  are  presently 
being  used  to  their  maximum  po- 
tential, given  theii'  inlierent  limi- 
tations, and  extended  hours  would 
only  needlessly  stretch  out,  but  not 
increase  their  business. 

Duane  Yee  '57 — I  think  that  the 
original  purpose  of  having  a  Stu- 
dent Union  building,  presented  be- 
fore deferred  rushing  took  effect, 
lias  now  become  altered  to  the  ex- 
tent that  the  main  function  of 
the  building  centers  around  the 
integration  of  the  freshman  class 
both  among  themselves  and  with 
upperclassmen. 

AS  such,  the  building  serves  its 

purpose  best  in  helping  to  integrate 

the    freshman    class.    In    time,    I

Art,  Music  Departments  Change 
Honors  Programs  in  1956-57; 
Both  Majors  to  Offer  Seminars 

bij  Dick  Davis 
Editor's  note: 

This  is  tlw  seijciitli  iti  a  series  of  articles  on  tlw  renovated 
lioiiiirs  profiratii,  and  deals  ivUh  the  Art  and  Music  Departments. 

Huiiors  students  in  tlie  Art  Department  from  the  Class  of  '57 
on  will  have  two  general  routes  by  which  they  may  fulfill  their 
(|iia]ifiuations.  The  first  route  is  the  program  or  four  honors  sem- 
iiiais.  The  student  who  chooses  this  course  must  take  three  honor 
seiniiuirs  in  the  .-\rt  Department.  S102  in  the  junior  vear  and  both 
S10.'3  and  S104  in  tlie  senior  vear.  In  addition,  he  must  take  one 
further  seminar,  but  it  may  be  chosen  from  any  department  rel- 
e\ant  to  his  interests  and  subject  to  the  a|)])ro\al  of  the  .\rt  De- 
partment. 

The  second  method  consists  of  four  departmental  electives 
plus  a  thesis  in  the  senior  year.  In  the  junior  year,  prospective  hon- 
ors students  select  two  of  the  following:  ,\rt  3,  4,  7,  S,  S102,  and 
Art  13-14  for  tliose  wishing  to  go  into  architecture.  In  the  senior 
year,  the  honors  candidate  must  take  the  thesis  course,  Art  103 
104.  Besides  this,  he  must  take  two  of  the  following  courses:  .\it 
3.  4,  7.  S,  S102,  S103  and  S104. 

Creative  Works  Acceptable 
Prospective  architects  may  submit  a  thesis  in  the  form  of  an 
architectural  design,  and  .should  substitute  Ari  13-14  for  two  of 
the  reciuired  courses.  Vm  other  speeiajlv  ((ualified  students  a  cre- 
ati\c  |Daiiitiiig  project,  or  a  project  in  the  fields  of  grajihic  arts  or 
sculpture  may  Dc  accci)table  in  ])lace  of  a  thesis. 

Of  the  Honors  seminars,  S102  is  concerned  with  Nineteenth 
Century  Romantic  .\rt,  with  emphasis  on  Coya,  CJericault,  and 
Delacroix.  S102  is  a  course  on  eriticisin.  and  SI 04,  to  be  offered  for 
the  first  time  in  1957-'58,  is  entitled  "The  Kenaissance  and  the 
Hi'iiaissances".  For  \xi  honors  students,  the  prerecpiisite  is  gener- 
ally tlie  5-6  course,  and  for  other  honors  students,  onlv  the  1-2 
course. 

Music 
Tlic  degree  with  honors  in  Music  entails  intensive  .study  in 
either  of  two  areas:  the  history  of  music  or  musical  theory,  mean- 
ing musical  composition.  .\11  candidates  will  take  the  honors  sem- 
inar SlOl-102  ill  the  junior  year.  In  the  senior  year,  those  inti'rested 
in  liistoiical  music  will  write  a  thesis,  while  those  in  the  theory 
field  will  submit  a  composition  in  one  of  the  larger  forms  or  a 
groui)  of  shorter  works.  Tliose  who  choose  the  latter  route  must 
na\'e  taken  Music  7-8  by  the  senior  year. 

Next  year's  seniors  in  the  field  of  history  will  take  Music  SlOl 
the  first  semester  and  will  write  a  thesis  during  the  second  sem- 
ester, while  theory  candidates  will  ]iursue  iudependent  study 
in  the  first  semester  and  write  a  composition  in  the  si'cond.  The 
Sl()l-102  seminar  deals  with  symphony  music.  Tlie  prequisites 
are  Music  1-2  and  5-6.  the  latter  of  which  may  be  taken  concur- 
rently. The  only  other  seminar  offered  is  S106,  not  required  of 
candidates  in  music.  It  is  a  study  of  18th  century  music,  primarily 
for  outside  honors  students,  and  the  jirerequisite  is  Music  1-2.

New  SC  Passes 
2  Definite  Plans 


Dean  Acclaims  Schedule 
Of  Scattered  Parties 


Tuesday,  Mar.  6  -  Tonight's 
deliberations  in  the  Social  Council 
produced  two  concrete  proposals: 
first,  to  arrange  faculty-sophomore 
meetings  concerning  possible  ma- 
jors, and  second,  to  figure  out  a 
schedule  to  space  out  the  faculty 
cocktail  parties  of  the  fraternities 
throughout  the  rest  of  the  semes- 
ter. 

The  latter  suggestion,  which  was 
introduced  by  Jim  Smith,  received 
high  praise  from  Dean  Brooks.  He 
recalled  that  in  the  past  few  years, 
there  has  been  a  tendency  to  pack 
all  the  parties  into  the  last  few 
weeks  in  May.  The  outcome  of  the 
meeting  is  that  all  the  hous<;  pre- 
sidents have  carried  the  plan  back 
to  their  social  chairmen,  in  order 
to  figure  cut  a  schedule  of  stag- 
gered date!!. 

The  former  plan,  making  it  pos- 
sible for  the  sophomores  to  meet 
with  all  the  professors  in  the  de- 
partments of  their  prospective  ma- 
jors, was  also  enthusiastically  re- 
ceived. This  plan  was  brought  up 
in  the  CC  last  night:  but  as  the  re- 
.sult  of  prodding  by  Dean  Brooks, 
the  SC  decided  to  take  the  bit  in 
its  teeth  to  implement  the  idea 
Itself.  A  committee  of  Duane  Yee, 
Jim  Smith,  and  Bob  Ause  were  ap- 
pointed to  discuss  the  matter  fur- 
ther.

EDITORIAL 

The  Locked  Door  Mania 


Siiicf  its  completion  in  1953,  Baxter  Hall  lias  been  the  sub 
ject  of  a  considerable  amount  of  comment,  both  ;iffinnati\e  and 
negative,  During  tlie  last  few  months,  the  latter  ajjpears  to  be 
pnlling  steadily  ahead.  The  Record  has  decided  to  bring  the  is- 
sues involved  out  into  the  open  in  the  belief  that  constructive 
criticism  will  lead  to  positive  action.  It  also  shoidd  be  made  clear 
that  personalities  are  not  involved. 

Probably  the  most  prc\alcnt  comiilaint  concerns  the  "locked 
door  mania'  which  results  in  a  considerable  amount  of  discom- 
fort. .Xs  an  e.\ample,  the  door  iminediatciv  adjacent  to  the  Snack 
Bar  is  constantly  closed  thus  forcing  indi\idnals  retnrnhig  from 
Fraternity  Row  to  walk  through  the  Upper-Class  Lounge.  This 
is  higliK'  nnneccssary.  The  Loiuige  should  not  ser\c  as  a  corridor 
especiallv  when  its  use  as  such  can  easilv  be  a\i)ided. 

The  Rathskeller  is  one  of  the  most  stylish  rooms  on  the  cam- 
])us.  Yet  it  is  turning  into  a  umsenm  jjiecc.  .Vccordiug  to  the  dic- 
tionary, a  radiskeller  Is  a  "saloon  or  restaurant  of  the  German  type 
usually  located  in  a  cellar  or  basement".  Everyone  knows  that 
this  definition  holds  true  only  during  special  weekends.  This  is 
unfortunate,  especiallv  for  the  freshmen. 

Fraternity  men  and  most  independents  have  excellent  hours 
as  well  as  adequate  facilities.  Ilowe\er,  some  independents  and 
all  freshmen  possess  no  such  advantages.  They  cannot  ha\i'  girls  in 
their  rooms  ])ast  6:.3()  P.  \1.  The  only  |)lacc  left  is  the  Stutlent  Ihi- 
ion  where  they  become  xietims  of  the  "locked  door  mania". 

The  Record  acKances  the  following  suggestions  in  the  hope 
that  immediate  action  will  be  taken  on  them.  1-  Open  the  doors 
and  let  the  Student  Union  assume  its  practical  functions.  2-  Look 
into  the  po.ssibilities  of  establishing  a  beer  concession  in  the  Rath- 
skeller. 3-  .Adopt  the  hours  mentioned  in  the  Connolly  Petition 
(3  A.  M.  on  Fritlav  and  Satmdav).  4-  Leave  the  Game  Room  open 
until  Midnight  on  weekday  nights  since  that  is  the  hour  when  all 
other  parts  of  the  L'nion  close.  .5-  Install  a  free  phone  in  the  Stud- 
ent Union  without  a  long  distance  outlet. 

These  proposals  are  offered  in  the  sincere  belief  that  the  Stud- 
ent Union  can  live  up  to  its  full  potential.  Let  us  allow  Baxter  Hall 
to  become  a  center  for  student  acti\ities  instead  of  a  center  for 
student  criticism. 


AS  I  SEE  IT 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

The  petition  against  the  quantity,  ciuality  and  .selection  of  the 
food  served  in  the  Student  Union  dining  halls  which  was  posted 
on  ^hlrch  1,  is  a  most  sarcastic  demonstration  of  the  ignorance 
and  ungentlenianly  conduct  of  the  class  of  1959  and  the  upjier- 
class  non-affiliates. 

This  |)etition  was  not  truly  a  complaint  against  the  (juantity 
and  quality  of  the  food  served  in  the  dining  halls,  but  really  a 
derogatory  satire  on  the  integrity  and  personality  of  the  director 
of  dining  halls.  Also,  dicre  is  a  strong  theme  thrcmghout,  which 
appears  to  dispute  the  culinary  ability  of  the  Chef  and  his  staff. 

The  person  who  was  res]5onsible  for  the  display  of  his  un- 
gentlenianly feelings  is  now,  1  am  sure,  either  truly  sorry  for  the 
damage  he  has  done  or  suffering  from  a  definite  lack  of  know- 
ledge of  the  situation.  If  said  person  will  stop  and  examine  the 
petition  which  he  wrote,  he  will  find  that  it  is  destructive  criticism, 
which  only  tears  down  the  work  and  ijcrsonalities  of  hard-working 
people,  who  are  doing  their  best  to  please  us,  their  customers.  In 
true  Williams  spirit,  one  definitely  has  the  right  to  petition  the 
righting  of  his  grievances,  but  constructive  criticism  which  in- 
cludes a  solution  to  the  problem  is  what  is  rei|uired,  not  destrue- 
tice  criticism. 

Having  had  expei-ience  in  hotel  work,  1  asure  yon  that  the 
director  of  dining  halls,  the  Chef  and  his  staff  are  all  thoroughly 
trained,  competi'iit  people  who  are  highly  capable  of  performing 
their  duties,  who  are  doing  everything  in  their  power  to  serve  us 
high  quality  food  in  the  C|uantities  we  want,  and  at  the  price  we 
want  to  pay. 

The  basic  need  at  the  bottom  of  this  problem  is  for  a  general 
knowledge  of  the  costs  of  feeding  four  hundred  people  three 
meals  a  day.  The  present  board  rate  is  $440  for  the  school  year, 
which  breaks  down  to  .$13.75  per  week  for  thirty-two  weeks.  A 
factor  which  must  be  taken  into  consideration  is  that  the  staff  of 
the  dining  hall  .md  kitchen  are  not  going  to  do  their  work  for  a 
salary  of  just  their  own  maintenance,  as  our  mothers  do.  Also, 
most  of  us  do  not  have  waiter  service  at  the  table  in  our  homes, 
which  increases  the  cost  of  setting  good  food  before  us  three  times 
a  day.  Tlierefore,  I  challenge  the  mother  of  a  Williams  student 
to  feed  her  son  all  that  he  wants  and  what  he  wants  on  $13.75  a 
week.  If  she  does  manage  to  do  so,  I  am  sure  that  that  student 
is  qiiite  satisfied  with  tlic  ((uantity,  quality  and  selection  of  the 
food  which  he  eats  in  the  dining  hall. 

One  last  word  of  caution.  At  some  time  or  another,  we  have  all 
been  served  some  course  which  we  did  not  care  for.  However,  it 
is  impossible  to  make  all  400  of  its  happy  at  one  tim(?.  Our  food 
committee  definitely  has  our  best  interests  at  heart,  and  they  re- 
quest that  any  complaints  or  suggestions  be  registered  with  tliem, 
and  they  will  do  their  best  to  reach  a  satisfactory  agreement.  In 
the  future,  let's  keep  iicrsonalities  and  personal  integrity  out  of 
our  issues.  As  tlic  Earl  of  Beaconsfield  once  said;  "This  shows 
how  much  easier  it  is  to  be  critical  than  correct". 
Sincerely, 
Donald  A.  Bell,  '59

1)1/  joe  AUxi^ht 

Last  week  a  group  of  freshmen  eircuhited  a  petition  about  the 
poor  quality  of  fooil  in  the  Student  Union.  They  posted  the  resolu- 
tion and  signatures  on  one  of  the  SU  bulletin  boarils.  .Mr.  (Jhis- 
holni,  the  Director  of  Dining  Halls,  soon  heard  the  repereu.ssions 
caused  by  the  petition.  How  did  he  answer  the  frishmenr'  He 
ordi'red  his  secretary  to  find  the  petition  and  take  it  down. 

This  is  typical.  The  jjowers  that  be,  i.e.,  .Mr.  (^hisholni,  contin- 
ualK'  pay  no  attention  to  complaints  about  Stuilent  Union  food, 
i  wonKi  say  that  nearly  cNcryone  but  the  pei.ple  who  have  to  eat 
the  tood  would  tend  to  back  the  authorities.  There  has  never  been 
a  group  of  men  anywhere  —  in  .schools,  colleges,  the  armed  ser- 
\  ices,  or  even  prisons  —  which  did  not  gripe  about  the  food.  As 
a  matter  of  fact,  there  arc  many  who  argue  that  eomplainiug 
about  lood  is  a  natural  psychological  reaction  to  being  away  frt)m 
home.  Thereiore,  anyone  who  complains  about  lood,  inysell  in- 
cludecl,  has  a  hard  time  when  he  wants  to  be  taken  seriously. 
Student  i'liioii'ii  Aiixwvr 

At  one  point  last  year,  the  Student  Union  officials  pa.ssed  out 
this  answer,  "Von  cannot  pk'ase  e\i'rybody,  and  after  all,  its  hard 
to  do  a  good  job  with  institutional  lood ".  Very  true.  But  1  think 
this  answer,  "You  cannot  please  everybody,  and  after  all,  it's  hard 
is,  as  1  see  it,  whether  tlie  Student  Union  is  making  the  best  and 
lullest  use  of  the  funds  at  their  disposal.  Here  is  where  Chisholm 
may  be  on  the  ropes. 

1  <|uote  from  the  President's  report  for  this  year. 

"The  receipts  and  expenditures  lor  1954  and  1955  include 
for  the  first  time  the  figures  for  operation  ol  the  dining  hall,  snack 
bar  and  conmiissarv  in  Baxter  Hall,  which  in  1954  amounted  to 
$224,783  of  receipts  and  $214,152  of  expenditures,  and  in  1955  to 
$235,339  of  receipts,  autl  $224,033  of  expenditures". 

For  what  it  is  worth,  I  point  out  that  this  statement  was  not 
exactly  eniijliasizi'd  in  tlu'  report.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  it  appears 
in  a  lootuote  on  page  25.  in  the  smallest  print  that  appears  any- 
where  in  the  whole   President's   report. 

Next,  let  us  avail  onrseKes  of  a  little  bit  of  lower  mathematics: 

1954  1955 

Receipts  $224,783  $235,339 

Fxpenditines  $214,152  $224,033 

Surplus  $  10,631  $  11,300 

'i  ])rofit  4.9  4.8 

From  these  figures,  an  obvious  fact  emerges.  The  Student 
Union  takes  in  o\'er  $10. 000  a  year  more  than  it  chooses  to  spend. 
Who  is  foolhig  who?  Ten  thousand  dollars  could  make  a  huge 
difference  in  the  quality  of  food  over  a  year.  With  this  boost,  the 
food  could  compare,  at  least  in  quality,  with  that  in  the  fraterni- 
ties, whose  receipts  and  expi'udituri's  are  made  to  balance.  I  would 
venture  to  guess  that  if  the  $10,000  were  used,  the  SU  could  scr\e 
one  or  two  steak  dinners  e\ery  week,  to  gi\e  only  one  example. 

When  I  look  at  the  profit  figiucs,  it  wonkl  be  (juite  easy  to 
start  tossing  around  the  epithet  "five-percenter'.  It  has  a  nasty 
sound,  so  1  won't  use  it.  But  I  seriously  tliink  thai  the  freslimeu  and 
non-affiliates  ha\e  the  right  to  know  where  this  slice  out  of  their 
income  is  going.  After  all,  li\e  per  cent  is  a  pretty  healthy  profit 
for  any  business.  For  one  which  gets  a  tax  exempfion  for  being  a 
non-profit  institution,  I  would  say  it  is  rather  remarkable. 


Reply  by  Chisholm 

In  reply  to  Mr.  AW>rig/i(\  (irticlc,  tlie  Director  of  Dining  Hulk, 
Mr.  Sidney  Chisholm,  made  the  jullowiuj!,  reniurks. 

"The  intent  of  this  college  is  definitely  not  to  make  money  on 
the  operation  of  its  eating  places. 

"Obviously,  it  is  iiiipo.ssible  for  this  organi/.ation  to  break 
exactly  even:  either  there  is  a  lo.ss  or  a  nrofit.  Hence,  a  small  pro 
fit  margin  is  ie(|iiired  in  order  to  break  even,  and  it  couldn't  hi 
much  smaller  than  4.8  per  cent. 

"If  the  gentleman  who  wrote  this  article  will  compare  oui 
4.8  per  cent  profit  margin  with  surplus  statistics  at  other  colleges, 
he  will  find,  I  am  sure,  that  our  figure  is  not  only  in  line  with  the 
profit  achieved  in  other  universities,  but  is  Iowim  than  most  ol 
tliem. 

"There  is  an  error  of  fact  eommitted  with  reg;ird  to  the  re 
cent  'petition'  concerning  our  food  policies.  Something  which  call 
ed  itself  a  petition,  but  which  was  not  a  circulated  legal  document, 
was  posted  anonymously  on  the  bulletin  board  without  permission. 
I'm  not  at  all  sure  what  the  writer  was  driving  at,  and  I  don't 
think  he  is  either.  ...  1  removed  the  petition  personally,  and  the 
identity  of  the  writer  remains  unknown  to  me. 

"A  year  ago,  when  it  appeared  that  we  (the  dining  halls) 
would  realize  a  higher  than  uiinimum  surplus  lor  the  year,  w<' 
promptly  cut  the  board  costs  to  students  at  mid-year. 

"We  do  have  a  food  committee  which  tunctions  regularly,  and 
which  includes  representatives  Irom  the  Ireshman  class  on  it 
Frosh  president  Bruce  Listerman  serves  on  this  committee.  It 
meets  once  a  week,  and  discusses  menus  and  preparation  of  the 
Student  Union  food."

Race  for  Record 
With  Relay  Team 

By  Simeral  Bunrh 

aatui'day,  Mar.  10  -  The  varsity 
swimming  team  this  afternoon 
■rill  vie  with  fifteen  teams  in  the 
New  England  InteicoUeglate 
swimming  Championships  at  M.I. 
1'.  The  chances  foi'  a  team  victory 
.^cem  quite  good,  e.specially  con- 
adering  past  performances  in  the 
clays,  backstroke  and  distances. 

Led  by  co-captains  Bill  Jenks 
.ind  Klrt  Gaidner  the  team  has 
Decn  in  Cambridge  for  the  last,  two 
Jays  for  preliminary  i  rials  which 
.nded  last  night.  The  fnials  will 
begin  this  afternoon  at  2  follow- 
mg  the  fi'eshman  400  yard  relay 
preliminaries. 

In  a  non-counting  event  the 
licshmnn  400  yaid  freestyle  relay 
team  of  frosh  co-captaliis  Chip 
ide  and  Alex  Reeves,  Jack  Hyland 
Mhd  Marty  Mennen  is  expected  to 
\Un  easily  in  a  time  which  should 
be  .several  seconds  below  the  pre- 
sent New  England  freshman  re- 
lord  in  the  freshman  relay. 
Medley   lleluy    Stroni; 

Williams  is  strongly  favored  in 
llie  300  yard  medley  relay.  The 
team  of  Pete  Lewis.  Bob  Sever- 
unce  and  Jenks  recently  turned  in 
a  time  of  2:54.4.  several  seconds 
below  the  standing  New  England 
record  in  the  event. 

Peter  Dletz.  recently  elected  cap- 
tain of  the  1956-57  varsity  swim- 
ming team  for  his  consistently 
Kood  performances  during  this 
season,  is  expected  to  pace  the 
220  and  440  yard  freestyle  events. 
Dietz  is  undefeated  so  far  this 
season   and   has  been   the   team's 


high  scorer  in  practically  all  its 
meets.  Dietz  holds  the  college  re- 
cords in  both  events,  set  last  year. 
He  will  be  backed  up  by  Tony 
Uiwkelman  in  both  events. 
Kciter  in  .Sprints 

The  50  and  100  yard  freestyle 
will  probably  see  Gardner  and 
either  Jenks  or  Dietz.  Gardner  and 
Jenks  have  regularly  swum  these 
distances  for  the  Ephs.  Amherst 
star  sprinter  Bob  Keiter  Ls  favored 
to  win  if  he  enters  these  events. 
Keiter  has  tied  the  New  England 
60  record  with  a  22.7,  the  same  us 
Williams'  Martin  did  .several  years 
ago. 

Pete  Lewis  is  expected  to  cau.se 
trouble  for  Bowdoin's  Bob  Plourde 
in  the  backstroke  event.  Lewis  has 
been  undefeated  this  year. 

Buster  Grossman  and  Bob  Jone.s 
will  carry  Williams'  hopes  In  the 
diving.  Grossman  can  be  expected 
to  place  among  the  top  three  bar- 
ring a  bad  day,  and  Jones  could 
possibly  do  the  same.

Most  Williams  undei  graduates 
know  that  Frank  R.  Thorns  is  the 
Director  of  Athletics  here  on  the 
campu.s  who,  during  the  day,  goes 
about  hi.s  bu.sine.ss  in  an  office 
located  at  the  side  of  the  basket- 
ball floor  in  the  Lasell  Gym.  How- 
ever, few  people  can  possibly  re- 
alize how  big  this  job  really  is  and 
the  many  problems  which  arise 
every  day  in  the  process  of  his 
carrying  it  out.  A  Gargoyle  and 
a  three-letter  man  in  the  Class  of 
1930,  Mr.  Thorns  first  took  over  as 
head  of  athletics  on  July  1,  1950 
when  he  replaced  John  Jay  '38. 
who  resigned  to  devote  full  time  to 
his  now  famous  ski  movies.  In  ad- 
dition, Tlioms  has  been  Rushing 
Arbiter  here  since  1939  and  thus 
is  in  cliarge  of  organizing  the  hec- 
tic September  rushing  program 
each  year  so  that  it  is  carried  to 
a  .successful  conclusion. 

The  most  disconcerting  and  time 
con.suming  ta.sk  of  all  those  his 
busy  job  entails  is.  according  to 
Tlioms,  that  of  scheduling.  "It's 
hard  to  arrive  al  something  good 
for  everyone."  says  Thorns  of  this 
toughest  problem.  "I  can't  find 
mutually  satisfactory  dates  and 
thus  scheduling  is  a  never-ending 
piocess."  A  good  deal  of  criticism 
has  been  heaped  on  the  Director 
of  Athletics  because  his  schedules 
do  not  always  work  out  the  best 
for  all  involved,  but  Thoms  went 
on  to  explain  that  many  of  these

conflicts  are  inescapable. 
Schedule  Meetings 

The  Williams  schedules  are  set 
up  for  the  year  ahead.  For  In- 
stance, in  November  1955  Thoms 
worked  on  those  dates  for  the  fall 
of  1956,  the  winter  of  '56-'57  and 
the  spring  of  1957.  Most  of  the 
.scheduling  is  done  at  two  meetings 
during  the  winter  each  year.  The 
Association  of  New  England  Col- 
leges Conference  Foi-  Athletics  as- 
sembles during  the  last  week  in 
November.  This  is  a  policy-making 
and  not  a  rule-making  body  to 
which  most  of  the  smaller  colleges 
Williams  plays  sends  one  repre- 
sentative, their  athletic  director.  A 
majority  of  the  Eph  contests  are 
fixed  here  but  at  a  second  meeting 
in  the  second  week  of  December 
Thoms  comes  in  contact  ivith  the 
Ivy  League  directors  at  the  East- 
ern College  Athletic  Conference. 

Ideally,  after  these  two  meetings, 
all  the  schedules  should  be  set 
but  in  practice  this  does  not  work 
out.  Due  to  conflicts  which  result 
in  open  dates,  Thoms  must  often 
use  his  telephone  to  perfect  the 
outcome.  Four-way  switches  may 
even  result  and  such  controversial

set-ups  as  a  team  being  away  on 
Houseparty  Weekend  often  comes 
out  of  these  problems,  but  under 
the  circumstances  they  cannot  be 
avoided.  Also  he  has  been  criticiz- 
ed tor  the  fact  that  Williams  plays 
fewer  Ivy  League  colleges  than  a 
place  like  Amherst.  However, 
since  there  is  a  new  round-robin 
system  now  worked  out  in  the 
league  which  has  each  team  play- 
mg  the  others  more  frequently, 
Thoms  has  found  it  very  difficult 
to  break  in.  It  seems  a  college  like 
Yale  has  a  certain  number  of 
small  colleges  it  plays  every  year 
and  for  Williams  to  get  a  spot  on 
its  schedule  is  nearly  impossible. 
However,  Thoms  keeps  trying  and 
sometimes  he  succeeds  as  next 
year  Harvard  and  Dartmouth  are 
on  the  basketball  schedule. 
Faculty  Committee 

Often  Thoms  must  make  chan- 
ges even  after  a  schedule  is  set 
as  the  Faculty  Committee  on  Ath- 
letics must  approve  all  contests 
according  to  the  number  of  class 
absences  which  will  result.  Also 
this  group,  headed  this  yea.-  by 
chairman  Vincent  Barnett,  checks 
the  two  different  class  cycles 
(Mond.,  Wed.,  Fri.  and  Tues.. 
Thurs..  Sat.).  Thus  if  Dartmouth 
wants  to  play  a  game  on  Tuesday 
and  contests  are  already  scheduled 
for  Thursday  and  Saturday. 
Thoms  often  must  change  either 
of  the  last  two  dates  to  make  room 
for  the  Tuesday  date  if  it  is  the 
only  day  Dartmouth  can  play. 

Tliere  are,  however,  many  other 
jobs  connected  with  Williams  Ath- 
letics with  which  Thoms  must,  of 
necessity,  occupy  his  time.  All  of 
the  transportation  arrangements 
are  made  through  his  office  for 
away  games.  The  two  college  sta- 
tion wagons  are  used  for  smaller 
teams  and  especially  for  skiing 
while  private  cars,  yellow  cabs  or 
interstate  busses  carry  the  large 
squads.  The  money  for  these  trips 
is  all  requisitioned  from  the  treas- 
urer's office  as  it  is  for  all  other 
athletic  expenditures. 


Heckscher  Rated 
First  at  Wesleyan 
In  Squash  Nat'ls 

Middletown,  Conn.,  Mar.  10  - 
Four  members  of  the  Williams  var- 
sity squash  team  will  be  competing 
in  the  National  Squash  Intercol- 
legiates.  which  began  yesterday  at 
Wesleyan  College,  this  afternoon. 
Ollie  Stafford,  Sam  Jones,  Scotty 
Wood,  and  Sam  Eells  are  the  four 
players  whom  Coach  Chaffee  has 
chosen  to  represent  Williams  in 
this  annual  three-day  tourna- 
ment, which  is  open  to  all  colleges 
in  the  U.S.  and  Canada.  Furnish- 
ing the  opposition  for  the  Ephmen 
are  players  from  such  colleges  as 
Harvard,  Yale,  Princeton,  Army, 
Navy,  Trinity,  M.I.T.,  Pennsylva- 
nia, Toronto,  Amherst  and  Wes- 
leyan. 

This  tournament  is  run  on  both 
an  individual  and  team  basis,  with 
trophies  for  the  individual  winner 
and  for  the  team  champion.  Each 
participating  school  enters  four' 
men  and  the  team  standings  are 
determined  by  a  point  system  bas- 
ed on  how  far  the  individual  play- 
ers progress  in  the  elimination 
tournament. 

Fine  Record 

Williams'  past  record  in  the  In- 
tercoUegiates has  been  very  good. 
In  1952  Dick  Squires  went  all  the 
way  to  the  finals  before  losing, 
and  in  1954  John  Brownal  repeat- 
ed this  feat.  Last  season  freshman 
Ollie  Stafford  reached  the  quar- 
ter-finals and  Coach  Chaffee 
hopes  for  an  even  better  showing 
this  year.  Chaffee  picks  1955  run- 
ner-up Ben  Heckscher  of  Harvard 
and  newcomer  Juan  Hermosilla  of 
M.I.T.  as  the  men  to  beat  in  the 
tom'nament,  which  ends  tomorrow.

Jensen    Standout 
In  Charity  Game 

Wednesday,  Mar.  7  -  Wally 
Jensen,  Co-Captain,  leading  scor- 
er, and  the  standout  of  the  Wil- 
liams basketball  team  all  season, 
tonight  displayed  his  ability  a- 
gain  in  the  annual  Hall  of  Fame 
benefit  game  at  the  Brandeis  Uni- 
versity gym.  Playing  for  the  New- 
England  College  All  Stars  against 
the  Boston  All  Stars,  Jensen  was 
the  standout  player  in  a  losing 
cause,  as  the  NE  Collegians,  un- 
able to  hold  back  big  Jim  Houston, 
dropped  the  contest  72-66. 

Jensen,  the  smallest  competitor, 
kept  the  NE  team  in  the  rutming 
on  scrap  alone.  He  scored  only 
nine  points,  but  everything  does 
not  appear  in  the  box  score,  for 
Jensen  was  the  play  maker  all 
evening.  Springfield's  Ronnie 
Clark  led  the  scoring  for  the  los- 
ers with  sixteen  points,  though 
his  first  half  performance  was 
anything  from  superb.  This  was 
Jensen's  last  collegiate  appear- 
ance, and  his  loss  to  the  Williams 
team  next  year  will  be  very  great.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  SATURDAY,  MARCH  10,  1956 


Nine    Campus    Leaders    Give    Proposals    To    Improve    Student    Union 


think  that  It  will  prove  more  in- 
valuable in  helping  freshmen  be- 
come acquainted  with  upperclass- 
men. 

Whitey  Kaufmann  '58 — I  believe 
that  Baxter  Hall  has  taken  a  large 
step  toward  the  accomplishment 
of  its  original  aims.  Naturally, 
since  the  Student  Union  is  a  new 
project,  improvements  are  needed 
and  desired  by  all  people  concern- 
ed. At  present  there  are  various 
projects  underway  which  will  add 
to  the  usefulness  of  the  Union  by 
aiding  the  fi'eshman  class  to  unite 
further  and  also  to  increase  the 
effectiveness  of  its  use  as  a  sub- 
stitute for  the  fraternities. 

If  more  consti'uctive  suggestions 
were  given  to  the  entry  reps,  mem- 
bers of  class  councils  or  those  on 
the  S,  U.  committee,  instead  of 
passive  grumbling,  more  improve- 
ments would  be  made  to  increase 
the  advantages  offered  by  this 
building. 

Bill  Quillen  '56— Baxter  Hall  has 
filled  a  great  void  on  the  Williams 
campus.  Certainly  the  former  fa- 
cilities for  independents  were  un- 
satisfactory, and  the  college  need- 
ed a  suitable  place  to  entertain 
visitors  to  Williams  besides  the 
fraternity  houses.  Weekend  dances 
in  the  gym  were  not  held  in  very 
pleasant  surroundings. 

The  daily  use  of  Baxter  Hall  has 
been  increasing  and  the  snack  bar 
and  game  rooms  have  been  assets 
to  the  college.  It  is  to  be  regretted 
that  the  lounges  give  the  appear- 
ance of  a  modern  museum  and 
fail  to  provide  a  warm,  pleasant 
atmosphere. 

Phil  Palmedo  '56 — As  the  center 
of  the  extracurricular  interests  of 
Williams,  as  well  as  the  principal 
area  for  the  freshman  and  non- 
affiliate  social  life,  there  is  a 
great  variety  of  demands  put  on 
the  Student  Union.  In  terms  of  the 
extraciu-ricular  organization  of  the 
college,  I  think  the  Union  has  pro- 
vided very  satisfactory  accommo- 
dation, and  I  think  these  organi- 
zations have  made  good  use  of 
their  respective  parts  of  the  build- 
ing. 

The  success  with  which  the  Stu- 
dent Union  has  met  the  social  de- 
mands of  the  freshmen  and  non- 
affiliates  is  harder  to  evaluate, 
partially  because  this  is  the  more 
difficult  role  of  the  building.  To 
my  mind  this  role  has  been  fulfill- 
ed extremely  well.  I  think  the  suc- 
cessful revamping  of  the  Rathskel- 
lar  and  the  recent  addition  of  a 
non-affiliate  living  room  down- 
staii's  have  greatly  increased  the

Union's  qualities  In  this  respect. 

Working  in  conjunction  with  Se- 
nor  DeLahlguera  in  the  problem  of 
running  the  Student  Union  has 
been  the  Student  Union  Commit- 
tee. I  think  it  is  significant  that 
though  the  demands  for  the  use  of 
the  various  areas  of  the  building, 
for  meetings,  debates,  dances,  etc., 
have  been  tremendous,  there'  have 


been  virtually  no  complaints  (or 
suggestions),  from  those  who  have 
used  the  various  facilities  offered. 

It  is  impossible  to  count  all  the 
aieas  in  which  I  believe  the  Un- 
ion has  provided  Important  ser- 
vices to  the  college.  I  might  men- 
tion one  area  in  which  its  effect 
has  been  to  my  mind  a  little  dis- 
appointing. That  is  the  area  of  the 


faculty  colloquiums,  and  the  vari- 
ous other  discussion  groups  which 
are  periodically  organized  In  the 
building. 

The  rather  limited  success  of 
these  functions  is  not  due  to  any 
fault  of  organization,  for  the  of- 
ferings this  year  have  been  stimu- 
lating. Unfortunately,  however,  re- 
latively few  students  have  taken 


the  opportunity  to  either  attend 
or  enter  into  these  groups.  Lack  of 
interest  was  the  cause  of  having 
to,  eliminate  the  concerts  from  the 
Student  Union  program. 

I  would  just  like  to  add  that  the 
Student  Union  Committee  or  Se- 
nor  DeLahiguera  would  be  only  too 
glad  to  hear  any  suggestions  or 
recommendations  that  anyone  may 


have  concernlnK  the  Student  un- 
ion.

{"Wlio  Orciered.  Beer  on.  tlie  R/OCk-s*?) 


This  is  the  saga  of  a  fierce  and  ferocious  Viking  named 
Eric  the  Error  who  was  sailing  his  ship  homeward  after 
a  successful  voyage  to  North  America  (he  had  won  64,000 
cans  of  sardines  on  a  TV  quiz  show  because  he  knew 
where  Chloe  went). 

As  Eric's  ship  neared  the  coast  of  Sweden,  some 
Valkyries,  who  were  touring  with  a  Wagnerian  road  show, 
spotted  it,  and  figuring  to  lure  it  on  the  rocks,  they 
began  singing  their  siren  song:  "Vat  Brunnhilde  Vants, 
Brunnhilde  Getts"  (this  being,  of  course,  her  maiden 
name). 


t>k^. 


When  Eric  heard  the  a-lur!ng  voices  of  the  Swedish 
girls,  liis  eyes  Ut  up. 

"A  Ha,"  he  said,  "what  attractive  dishes!  And  I  also 
understand  they  brew  a  very  fine  barrel  of  beer." 
Meanwhile,  back  at  the  beach,  the  VsJkyries  were  plot- 
ting. "When  they  hit  those  rocks,"  said  Brunnhilde, 
a  shy  broth  of  a  lass  who  would  have  made  any  backfield 
in  the  Big  Ten,  "it's  every  girl  for  herself.  But  remember, 
a  well-clobbered  Viking  is  apt  to  be  more  affectionate." 
So  just  as  they  planned,  Eric's  ship  crashed  on  the 
rocks  and  the  Valkyries  were  on  them.  It  was  man  against 
muscle  and  the  muscles  won. 


"Yvmipin'  Yiminy,  shall  I  throw  it  back?"  said  Brunn- 
hilde, swinging  Eric  lightly  off  the  ground  by  his  ears, 
"I've  seen  better  heads  on  a  stein  of  beer." 
But  as  Eric  hung  there,  something  happened.  He 
looked  into  Brunnhilde's  eyes:  first  one,  then  the  ollior, 
and  then  the  other.  It  was  obviously  a  case  of  love  at 
first  fright. 

The  Valkyries  were  touched.  They  trotted  out  the  beer 
and  pretzels,  and  forthwith  there  was  much  rejoicing. 
The  Vikings  enjoyed  the  beer  so  much  that  Eric  prnLsed 
it  in  a  saga,  and  consequently  he  is  recognized  as  the 
originator  of  the  singing  commercial. 


FOOTNOTE:  If  you  wish  to 
know  what  the  Vikings  were 
singing  about,  order  up 
Budweiser  the  next  time  you 
order  beer.  It's  the  recognized 
companion  of  festive  occasions 
...for  truly,  "Where  there's

in  Australia,  Scandinavia  and 
Czechoslovakia.  During  these  ex- 
tensive journeys  the  attention  of 
'he  directors  of  England's  famed 
aiyndebourne  Opera  Festival  was 
attracted  and.  In  1935.  in  addition 
to  playing  the  company's  mezz- 
sopiano  lead,  .she  .sang  at  the  Pra- 
sue  Opera  House  and  at  the  Opera

Salzburg   Opera 

The  Salzburg  Opera  Guild  en- 
KMged  Miss  Glaz  in  1936  and  by 
then  her  mastery  of  the  works  of 
Mllhaud,  Mozart,  Monteverdi  and 
others  had  brought  praise  from 
Europe's  opera  centers.  Miss  Glaz' 
entrance  on  the  United  States 
scene  came  In  1937  when  she  was 
Invited  by  Otto  Klemperer  to  sing 
with  the  Los  Angeles  Philharmonic 
Orchestra.  Within  a  year  and  alter 
a  nation-wide  tour  with  the  Salz- 
burg Guild,  which  involved  ap- 
pearainces  in  eighty  cities,  the 
stage  was  set  for  the  Metropoli- 
tan, Miss  Glaz  made  her  debut 
with  the  Met  on  Christmas  night, 
1942,  singing  Amnerls  In  Verdi's 
Aiaa", 

Since  then.  Miss  Glaz  has  re- 
peatedly exhibited  her  versatility 
and  merit  throUBh  her  vast  scope 
of  perception.  In  addition  to 
Klemperer,  she  has  performed 
with  such  great  conductors  as  Tos- 
caninl,  Ormandy.  Monteux,  Kous-

Chemistry  Department  Retains  Program 
For  Laboratory,  Library  Honors  Study; 
Geology  Department  To  Offer  Seminars 

Editor's  note: 

This  is  the  eighth  in  a  series  of  articles  concerning  the  re- 
novated honors  program,  and  deals  with  the  Chemistry  and  Ge- 
ohigi/  Departments. 

Tlie  Chemistry  Department  has  decided  to  maintain  its  pre- 
sent prop-am  of  honors  work,  a  program  which  does  not  com- 
mence until  the  student's  senior  year,  Tlie  honors  course,  Chem- 
istry 103-104,  consists  of  individual  laboratory  and  library  work 
in  a  field  of  interest  to  the  student,  which  ciilinmates  in  a  thesis 
vnitten  under  the  direction  of  a  departmental  inembei.  Students 
also  meet  periodically  with  the  staff  and  discuss  current  topics  in 
Clheniistry. 

There  are  two  methods  of  majorinR  in  Chemistry.  For  iire- 
nicdical  students,  for  those  who  i)lan  to  use  chemistry  in  the  busi- 
ness world,  and  for  those  who  are  just  interested  in  flie  ehein 
major  for  no  specific  reason,  there  is  the  "Basic  major.  This  ni- 
volves  taking  one  Chemistry  course  each  year  and  the  senior 
course  is  7-14.  For  those  who  wish  to  pursue  chemistry  further, 
such  as  one  interested  in  research,  there  is  the  "lU-eular  maior. 
This  generally  consists  of  taking  Chem  1  dirough  Cheni  8  before 
the  senior  year  (thotiBli  an  ajjproved  outside  science  course  mav 
t)e  substituted  for  7-S)  and  the  9-10  course  in  the  senior  year. 
Honors  work  may  be  done  under  both  programs,  however. 

Geology  . 

Due  to  the  fact  that  freshmen  cannot  enroll  for  Geology,  the 
program  for  honors  students  does  not  start  until  midway  through 
the  junior  year.  In  the  past,  the  program  has  ceiitercd  around  a 
thesis  in  the  senior  year,  but  the  Class  of  '58  will  be  the  first  to 
have  the  benefits  of  a  newly  instituted  seminars  plan. 

In  the  first  semester  of  the  junior  year  die  Geology  honors 
candidate  will  take  Geology  5  and  7,  with  three  elec  ives  In  the 
second  semester,  he  will  have  Geology  6  and  8  and  will  begm 
his  honors  work  with  Geology  S102,  This  means  that  he  nviII  have 
only  two  elective  courses  in  the  last  half-year.  In  the^  senior  year 
he  must  take  the  major  course,  19-20,  and  Geology  9  in  the  first 
semester,  in  addition  to  the  two  senior  honors  seminars.  A  progiani 
of  independent  work  terminating  in  a  thesis  may  be  .substituted 
for  the  seminar  program  in  certain  cases.  This  would  normally  en- 
tail doing  extensive  field  work  in  the  summer  prior  to  the  senior

CC  Selects  Foltz 
To  Study  Rushing 

Approves  Schedule 
Of  Soph  -  Prof  Teas 

Monday,  Mar.  12  -  In  response 

to  a  suggestion  that  freshmen  be 
fully  Informed  of  all  aspects  of 
the  rushing  system,  the  College 
Council  this  evening  appointed 
Hank  Foltz  '59,  as  freshman  Jlal- 
.son  between  the  Frosh  Council 
and  the  lecently  formed  Rushing 
Committee.  It  was  felt  that  by 
having  a  freshman  representative 
attend  meetings  of  this  committee. 
Important  aspects  of  the  rushing 
system  could  be  relayed  to  the 
fi'osh  class. 

The  appointment  ot  Foltz  was 
one  result  of  a  proposal  last  week 
by  Dick  Jackson  '59,  that  the 
freshmen  be  fully  Informed  on  the 
system  before  entering  rushing. 

In  addition  to  dl,scu.ssing  rash- 
uig  pi  oblems,  the  CC  approved  the 
Social  Council's  tentative  sche- 
dule for  meetings  of  prospective 
sophomore  majors  with  members 
01  various  departments  In  which 
Uiey  are  Interested.  The  new  pro- 
gram will  be  inaugurated  next 
Monday  with  sessions  In  the  af- 
ternoon and  evening.  The  meetings 
will  continue  throughout  the  week 
until  all  departments  have  had  the 
opportunity  to  talk  with  interested 
sophs.  Although  the  sessions  are 
informal,  there  will  be  an  oppor- 
tunity for  students  to  discuss  such 
things  as  the  new  honors  program. 
A  complete  schedule  of  depart- 
ment-student meetings  will  ap- 
pear in  Saturday's  RECORD. 
Dorm  Hours 

The  CC  also  approved  the  prin- 
ciple of  allowing  girls  In  fresh- 
man dorms  from  9:30  imtU  mi'i- 
nlght  on  weekends  which  do  not 
have  Houseparty  hours  In  effect. 
The  technical  aspects  of  the  9:30- 
midnight  Idea  will  be  worked  out 
in  a  meeting  of  the  JA's  which 
will  be  held  this  week.  It  was  a- 
greed  that  the  plan  would  work 
only  if  there  were  Junior  Advisers 
present  to  enforce  the  hours. 

Last  week  Arnle  Carlson  '57,  and 
Dick  Repp  '57,  reported  on  the 
New  England  Student  Govern- 
ment Convention  which  they  at- 
tended at  Tufts  College.  Two  pro- 
posals which  they  thought  might 
be  considered  at  Williams  were  the 
ideas  of  having  numerous  polling 
places  in  college  elections  and  ot 
having  a  point  system  for  college 
offices  so  that  individual  students 
would  not  "spread  themselves  too 
thinly"  in  their  extra-curricular 
activities.

Debaters  Discuss 
Guaranteed  Wage 

Adelphic  Union  Opposes 
University  of  Vermont 


Thursday,  Mar.  8  -  The  Wil- 
liams Adelphic  Union  presented  a 
debate  tonight  between  the  Uni- 
versity of  Vermont  and  Williams 
College.  The  topic  under  discus- 
sion was  the  proposed  Guaranteed 
Annual  Wage.  The  affirmative  de- 
baters were  Dave  Klelnbard  and 
Tom  Synnott  of  Williams  and 
Dave  Gale  and  Elliott  Brown 
from  the  University  of  Vermont. 
Defending  the  status  quo  were  Ann 
Nevin  and  Mai'vin  Levy  of  the  U. 
of  V.  and  from  Williams.  Joe  Lei-

The  affirmative  attacked  the 
present  system  of  unemployment

three-quarters  of  the  burden  v;as 
placed  on  the  shoulder.s  cf  labor. 
They  explained  furt'ier  that  over 
ten  million  workers  do  not  receive

Edwards  Gives  Faculty  Lecture, 

'The  Roman  Concept  of  Power 


Thursday,  Mar.  8  -  "Problems  of 
government  don't  change"  and 
"we  can  gain"  a  lesson  from  the 
Romans,  stated  Prof.  Samuel  Ed- 
wards during  a  Faculty  Lecture 
talk  this  afternoon  in  the  Thomp- 
son Biological  Laboratory.  Mr.  Ed- 
wards spoke  on  the  topic  "The  Ro- 
man Concept  of  Power". 

Edwards  discussed  in  great 
length  the  various  steps  that  were 
taken  in  Julius  Caesar's  time  to 
reach  thi.;  Lop  of  the  Roman  Gov- 
ernment. One  of  the  lower  posi- 
tions was  that  of  Quaestor.  After 
leaving  that  office  a  Roman  had 
to  wait  nine  years  before  becom- 
ing an  Aedile.  the  next  position  on 
the  ladder  to  the  top.  From  there 
he  would  become  a  Tribune  of 
Plebes.  being  responsible  for 
watching  over  the  Plebes  property 
and  even  their  very  lives.  At  the 
age  of  forty  he  could  run  for  Prae- 
tor after  which  he  was  finally  pre- 
pared to  seek  the  Consulship.  Ci- 
cero's writings  tell  very  vividly  how 
many  men  tried  to  be  Consul  mak- 
ing the  competition  for  the  two 
positions  very  keen.  After  a  Con- 
sul had  completed  his  year  of  duty, 
he  would  become  either  a  Pro- 
Consul  or  would  join  the  college  of 
priests  which  was  made  up  mostly 
of  ex-Consuls. 

The  Roman  Senate 

Edwards  stressed  the  role  of  the 
Senate  in  the  Roman  Government 
as  quite  Important.  Composed  of 
magistrates  who  had  finished  their 
terms  of  duty,  the  Senate  advised 
the  government,  reviewed  wars 
and  raised  levies.  The  lost  200 
years  of  the  Roman  Empire  were 


the  most  Important  for  the  Sena- 
torial Powers. 

Edwards  covered  many  various 
points  concerning  the  Roman  Gov 
ernment.  One  of  the  ways  of  keep 
Ing  the  people  in  check  was  the 
mystical  source  of  the  gods  and 
their  power.  Edwards  also  said, 
however,  that  games  and  celebra- 
tions to  these  gods  and  also  the 
earthly  powers  often  held  up  vot- 
ing and  caused  many  to  lose  their 
votes. 

Latin  phrases  were  used  by  Ed- 
wards to  show  the  taste  and  mean- 
ing of  the  people  and  their  powers 
through  their  language.  Most  im- 
portant were  the  virtues,  Gloria,

Sunday,  Feb.  11  -  The  individual 
i)f  today  clings  to  a  number  of 
realities  needful  to  his  existence. 
Dr.  H.  Richard  Niebulir  said  to- 
night in  a  special  meeting  follow- 
ing his  sermon  in  the  College  Cha- 
pel. Speaking  on  the  topic  "When 
the  Half-Gods  Go,"  Dr.  Niebulir 
went  on  to  point  out  the  existence 
of  a  religious  revival  in  America 
today. 

Two  problems  contribute  to 
making  the  revival  primarily  "util- 
itarian". First  of  all,  the  object 
of  eventual  concern  is  the  elimi- 
nation of  present  dangers,  such  as 
the  Communist  menace,  and  not 
the  promotion  of  religion  itself. 
Secondly,  people  tend  to  use  reli- 
gion "for  the  sake  of  personal  ad- 
justment" in  the  complicated  so- 
ciety of  today.  Niebuhr  feels  that 
although  "there  Is  also  a  very 
genuine  revival,"  the  large  amount 
of  utilitarianism  might  possibly 
constitute  the  "last  act"  before 
the  collapse  of  civilization. 

Polytheism  Present 

A  "natural  polytheism"  is  pre- 
sent in  today's  religion.  The  "lit- 
tle" or  "half-gods"  contributing 
to  this  multiplicity  of  gods  con- 
tain those  of  the  home,  of  business, 
and  of  nature.  Dr.  Niebuhr  em- 
plrasized  that  his  polytheism  de- 
monstrates the  fact  that  "every- 
hndy  is  religious".  We  used  to  live 
primarily  for  our  own  western 
civilization,  but  now  these  "half- 
gods"  have  come  into  our  lives. 

Dr.  Niebuhr-  defines  as  God  the 
power  that  maintains  one's  pre- 
sent existence  and  without  which 
it  is  impossible  for  one  to  live. 
Stating  further  that  "God  exists 
whether  you  want  to  believe  in 
Him  or  not,"  the  Yale  Professor 
declared  that  he  himself  does  not 
know  what  the  true  religion  really 
Is.  "Life  has  a  purpose."  It  is  the 
job  of  the  individual  to  find  out 
just  what  the  purpose  is.  There  is 
a  difference  between  really  reli- 
gious men  and  the  non-believers. 
Religious  men  hope  for  a  libera- 
tion from  life,  while  nonbelievers 
are  simply  content  to  take  life  as 
It  is  and  adapt  to  it. 

Hope   of   Glory 

In  his  regular  sermon  in  the 
College  Chapel,  Dr.  Niebuhr  said 
that  we  are  losing  "the  hope  of 
glory"  which  was  present  among 
I  he  early  Christians.  This  hope  of 
•ikny  "is  one  of  the  three  great 
uifts — faith,  love,  and  hope.  It  is 
^iven  to  everybody  and  is  some- 
1  hing  that  endures."  Today  we  are

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

1  think  Saturday's  issue  of  tlie  RECORD  sets  before  us  the 
wliole  problem  of  the  Student  Union  operations.  1  feel,  however, 
that  certain  niisconce|)tions  ought  to  be  cleared  up. 

I  do  not  know  who  wrote  the  anti-Chisiiolm  petition,  but  1 
think  it  obvious  to  anyone  wiio  read  it  that  it  was  more  of  a  iuun- 
orous  parody  than  something  to  be  characterized  as  \icious  and 
irresponsible.  Such  a  characterization  merely  clouds  tlie  issue. 
The  e.\cuse  for  renio\ing  It  because  it  was  posted  without  per- 
mission is  well-nigh  childish. 

Mr.  Chishohn  states,  in  reply  to  Joe  Albright's  column,  that 
"the  intent  of  this  college  is  definitely  not  to  make  money  on  the 
operation  of  its  eating  jjlaces".  However,  a  "small  profit  margin" 
is  necessary,  he  claims,  for  contingencies.  Let  us  ignore  the  tact 
that  a  jjrofit  means  making  money.  If,  as  Don  Bell  claims,  the  di- 
rector of  dining  halls  is  so  competent,  why  does  he  need  a  profit 
margin  in  e.xcess  of  the  incomes  of  a  great  number  of  Williams 
fathers?  For  1954  and  1955  there  is  a  combined  surplus  of  $21,937. 
This  indicates  a  minimum  siuplus  for  this  year  of  $5,000.  Surely 
our  competent  Mr.  Chishohn  should  be  able  to  ojjerate  on  this 
basis,  with  the  $20,000  reserve  he  has  accumulated  over  the  past 
two  years. 

Mr  .Chisholm  further  states,  "we  do  have  a  food  committee 
which  functions  regularly  ...  It  meets  once  a  week,  and  discusses 
menus  and  preparation  of  the  Student  Union  food."  Mr.  Chisholm 
does  not  tell  you  that  this  committee  is  purely  advisory,  and  has 
no  power  other  than  to  retiuest  Mr.  Chisholm  to  do  something. 
In  addition,  he  does  not  tell  you  that  so  far  as  tlie  non-affiliate 
members  of  this  committee  are  concerned,  they  are  not  selected 
by  their  fellow  independents  but  are  appointed.  The  food  com- 
mittee Mr.  Chisholm  seeks  to  rely  on  as  a  crutch  for  his  position 
is  not  representative  nor  does  it  have  any  real  power  over  the 
food  preparation. 

I  agree  with  the  writer  of  the  editorial  on  the  locked  door 
mania,  but  he  does  not  go  far  enough.  Mr.  Palmedo  may  praise 
the  new  independents'  room  to  the  sky;  the  fact  of  the  matter  is 
that  it  is  kept  locked  at  all  times.  The  independents  have  used 
it  for  a  i)arty  exactly  once,  the  evening  of  December  16. 

The  doors  to  the  meeting  rooms  are  kept  locked  all  morning. 
One  poor  fellow  I  know  was  supposed  to  examine  an  art  exhibit 
in  them  for  an  Art  class.  But  because  of  Mr.  Chisholm's  over- 
worked key  chain,  he  was  imable  to  do  so. 

Bob  Ause  says  that  "the  renovation  of  the  Rathskellar  and  the 
shifting  of  furnishings  in  the  upperclass  lounge  has  allowed  for 
a  better  atmosphere  for  small  informal  discussion  and  conversa- 
tion." Unfortunately,  Mr.  Ause  does  not  have  all  the  facts.  As  was 
l)rought  out  in  the  Saturday  issue,  the  Rathskellar  is  kept  under 
lock  and  key.  The  furniture  shifting  that  does  so  much  for  the 
lounge  was  done  one  afternoon  by  seven  irate  non-affiliates  (I 
was  not  one  of  tliem)  who  were  fed  up  because  the  locked  doors 
by  the  snack  bar  had  made  the  upperclass  loinige  a  mere  corridor. 
In  this  situation  the  previous  furniture  arrangement  had  made  it 
extremely  difficult  to  hold  informal  conversations  without  some- 
one walking  directly  between  the  talkers. 

The  attitude  of  tlie  Baxter  Hall  high  command  seems  to  call 
for  efficiency  first,  last  and  always.  Perhaps  one  independent  was 
not  so  far  wrong  when  he  characterized  that  attitude  in  these 
words:  "If  it  wasn't  for  these  °°°°  students,  we  could  run  this 
place  efficiently."  I  rather  had  the  impression  that  the  Student 
Union  was  built  for  the  students'  use  and  benefit. 
Respectfully,

LETTER  TO  ALL  WILLIAMS  STUDENTS: 

For  you  there  is  something  new  in  town.  You  might  coll  it  a 
rediscovery  —  The  New  "Y"  Restaurant.  We  have  redesigned  our 
restaurant  with  on  aim  to  please  particularly  you,  the  Williams 
student. 

We  offer  you  a  choice  of  either  American  or  Italian  food.  If  your 
preference  is  American  food,  we  hove  several  delicious  dinners  and  o 
large  selection  of  sandwiches.  If  you  prefer  Italian  food,  our  menu  in- 
cludes Pizza,  spaghetti,  grinders,  and  ten  inch  hot  dogs,  to  mention  a 
few.  Of  course,  PIZZA  is  our  speciolty,  and  we  hove  twelve  different 
kinds  —    a  twelve  inch  pizza  costs  as  little  as  o  dollor. 

We  hove  entirely  redecorated  the  interior  of  the  restaurant 
and  are  sure  that  you  will  enjoy  its  light  and  pleasant  atmos- 
phere. From  our  attractive  new  bar  we  have  beer  and  wine  for 
you  to  enjoy  with  your  dinner.  The  interior  has  been  enlarged: 
we  hove  a  new  floor  and  a  new  heating  and  ventilation  system. 
For  your  enjoyment  there  is  a  shuffle-alley  ond  a  juke  box. 
These  changes  hove  been  student  advised  and  we  hope  that  they 
will  please  you. 

We  sincerely  wish  that  our  restauront  will  become  a  favor- 
ite meeting  place  of  Williams  students  and  their  dates.  When 
you  come  down,  give  us  any  suggestions  that  you  think  would 
improve  the  new  "Y"  Restauront.

HOW  TO  BE  A  THUMPING  BIG  SUCCP^SS 
ON  CAMPUS 

While  up  in  the  attic  last  week  hidlnir  from  n  bill  collector  1 
came  arnws  a  letter,  yellow  now  with  ajie,  that  dear  old  Dad  hud 
sent  nu'  when  1  was  a  freshman.  I  read  the  letter  again  and 
recalled,  with  many  a  sitth  and  not  a  few  tears,  what  an  inspira- 
tion it  hud  been  to  me  hack  in  my  freshman  days.  I  reproduce  it 
below  in  the  hope  that  it  may  liuht  your  way  as  it  did  mine. 

"Dear  Son,  (Dad  always  called  me  Son.  This  was  short  for 
Sonnenberg,  which  was  originally  my  first  name.  I  later  traded 
it  with  .1  man  named  Max.  fie  threw  in  two  outtielders  and  a  left- 
handed  pitcher  . .  .  But  I  digress.) 

"Dear  Son,  (Dad  wrote) 

"I  suppose  you  are  finding  college  very  big  and  bewildering, 
and  maybe  a  little  frightening  too.  Well,  it  need  not  be  that 
way  if  you  will  follow  a  few  simple  rules. 

"First  of  all,  if  you  have  any  problems,  take  them  to  your 
teachers.  They  want  to  help  you.  That's  what  they  are  there  for. 
Perhaps  they  do  seem  rather  aloof  and  fcu-bidding.  Imt  that  i.s 
only  because  they  are  so  busy.  Voii  will  find  your  teachers  warm 
as  toast  and  friendly  as  pups  if  ynu  will  call  on  them  at  an  hour 
when  they  are  not  overly  busy.  Four  a.m.,  for  instance. 

"Second,  learn  to  budget  your  time.  What  with  classes,  activi- 
ties, studying,  and  social  life  all  competing  for  your  time,  it  is 
easy  to  fall  into  sloppy  habits.  You  must  set  up  a  rigid  schedule 
and  stick  to  it.  Remember,  there  are  only  21  hours  in  a  day. 
Three  of  these  hours  are  spent  in  class.  For  every  hour  in  class, 
you  must,  of  course,  spend  two  hours  studying.  So  there  go  six 
more  hours.  Then,  as  everyone  knows,  for  every  hour  of  study- 
ing, you  must  spend  two  hours  sleeping.  That  accounts  for  an- 
other twelve  hours.  Then  there  arc  meals-two  hours  each  for 
breakfast  and  lunch,  three  hours  for  dinner.  Never  forget,  Son- 
nenberg, you  must  chew  each  mouthful  288  limes.  You  show 
me  a  backward  student,  and  I'll  show  you  a  man  who  bolts 
his  food. 

"But  college  is  more  than  just  sleeping,  eating,  and  studying. 
There  are  also  many  interesting  and  broadening  activities,  and 
you  would  be  cheating  yourself  if  you  neglected  them.  You'll 
want  to  give  at  least  an  hour  a  day  to  the  campus  newspaper  and 
yearbook,  and,  of  course,  another  hour  each  to  the  dramatic  and 
music  clubs.  And  let's  say  a  total  of  three  hours  daily  to  the 
stamp  club,  the  foreign  affairs  club,  and  the  debating  society. 
Then,  of  course,  a  couple  of  hours  for  fencing  and  bird-walking, 
a  couple  more  for  square  dancing  and  basket  weaving,  and  one 
or  two  for  cribbage  and  ice-sculpturing. 

"Finally,  we  come  to  the  most  important  part  of  each  dny-what 
I  call  'The  Quiet  Time.'  This  is  a  period  in  which  you  renew 
yourself-/)/,s(  relax  avri  think  green  tliougltts  and  smoke  Philip 
Morris  Cigarette.s.

"<^^... 


"Why  Philip  Morris?  because  they  are  the  natural  comple- 
ment to  an  active  life;  they  are  gentle,  thev  are  benign,  they 
are  tranquil,  they  are  a  treat  to  the  tired,  a  boon  to  the  spent,  a 
haven  to  the  .storm-tossed.  That's  why. 

"Well.  Sonnenberg,  I  guess  that's  about  all.  Your  mother  sends 
her  love.  She  has  just  finished  putting  up  rather  a  large  batch 
of  pickles-in  fact.  350,000  jars.  I  told  her  that  with  you  away 
at  school,  we  would  not  need  so  many,  but  lovable  old  Mother 
is  such  a  creature  of  habit  that  though  T  hit  her  quite  hard 
several  times,  she  insisted  on  going  ahead. 

Your  ever  lovin' 

Dad."

(litl  helore  we  j;()t  it.  Haxter  Hall  has  provided  thi'  c()llei;e  with  a 
(rood  set-up, "  says  'I'homs, 

Thoms  appoints  the  officials  for  basketball,  hockey,  swimminj; 
Ijaseball  and  track  while  a  New  Eiij^laiid  Association  decides  on 
those  for  football,  soccer,  lacrosse,  and  wrestling.  The  other  spoits 
lake  care  of  themselves.  However,  his  choice  is  (piite  limited,  as, 
for  example,  in  basketball  one  official  is  allowed  only  tlire('  lioiiii 
panics  a  year  and  thus  competition  for  the  j;ood  ones  is  '.^reat. 
\ll  checks  lor  ollicials  are  ac((iiired  throuf^h  his  ollice  also. 
Abiiioti 

Aluiniii,  says  Thorns,  have  an  important  place  in  the  colleirc 
.ilhletic  picture  all  the  way  from  their  letters  and  plioiu^  calls  ask 
iiig  for  this  and  that  to  suKK<'stiiijI  a  ^ood  prospect  for  the  next 
year's  Ireshman  class.  However,  tlierc  are  very  few  complaints 
made  to  Thoms  by  lormer  uiideij;raduatcs  on  the  <|uality  of  \Vi 
Hams  teams.  It  is  more  likely  that  they  will  ask  Thoms  to  supply 
I  hem  with  tickets  for  a  bit;  );ame,  etc. 

.Mumni  increase  the  constant  ijrcssuie  to  schedule  ffmd  teams

which  alonj;  with  the  thrive  llouseparty  weekends,  are  one  of 
Ihoiiis'  hif^nest  lieadaeli<'s.  It  is  impossible  to  >;et  top  teams  every 
\car  on  these  bir  dates  and  Thoms  receives  criticism  and  com- 
plaints when  such  a  situation  arises.  .Mumni  ai<'  a  f^reat  help 
ihounh,  Thoms  admits,  in  iiillueiicing  promising  athletes  to  come

head  ol  the  admisions  department,  has  the  linal  sav  on  all  those 
who  seek  admission,  on  the  basis  of  scholastic  ability  above  all. 
even  thouj;h  he  is  olteii  advised  to  look  at  a  boy  closely  hy  Thoms 
or  another  of  the  athletic  dep;uiiiient, 

Otiur  Vrohlema 

The  very  heavy  correspondence  he  receives  daily  on  all  sorts 
111  subjects  takes  up  much  of  Thorns'  time.  Letters  may  deal  with 
any  topic  ranj;iii)^  from  scheduliiii;,  cancellations,  new  rules,  of- 
licials  and  prolessional  scouts  askini;  lor  baseball  schedules  to 
those  from  alumni,  those  on  Sprint;  trips  .south,  conferences  and 
elij;ibility,  contracts  lor  each  game  and  those  asking  for  ticket 
elianw's.  In  coiinection  with  this.  Thoms  says  one  of  his  toui;hest 
problems  is  the  handliiit;  ol  the  Homecoming;  lootball  t;aiiie  each 
year  with  Ed  liullock,  when  he  must  check  all  ap|)lications,  mail- 
ing; ol  tickets  and  handllnt;  of  hinds. 

Maintenance  problems  also  iiixdive  the  Director  ol  .\tliletics 
He  works  on  these  along  with  I'cter  Welanet/.  Sii|)erinteiideiit  of 
('.rounds  and  linildings.  There  is  an  athletic  grounds  crew  with 
the  Hnildings  and  Grounds  Department  which  devotes  all  its  time 
111  sports  maintenance.  Thoms  tells  Welanet/.  what  needs  to  be 
dune  and  the  grounds  crew   takes  om'i   Iniin  there. 

Keeping  up  the  liocke\'  rink  takes  uj)  most  ot  the  time  in  the 
Winter  along  with  keeping  the  liasketb.ill  floor  in  shape  or  pro- 
\idiug  extra  bleacliers.  Clettiiig  the  tennis  courts  ready  in  the 
Spring  is  a  particular  problem  along  with  the  \  arious  athletic  tields. 
Also  all  athletic  equipment  is  ordered  through  'rhiim's  office.  .\s 
Thoms  sets  a  budget  fur  excrv  sport  according  to  what  experience 
has  taught  him,  he  cheeks  each  coach  for  whai  h.v  needs  and  sonii 
times  gives  him  more  or  less  than  he  is  asked  for.  Thorns  does  not 
set  the  coaches'  .salaries  but  he  is  called  into  consultation  on 
them.

11  players  will  leave  fur  an  ex-

March  24.  Although  without  the 
services  of  last  year's  number  one

be  well-balanced.  Last  year,  the

been  trying  to  get  a  look  at  the 
available  talent.  No  spring  trip

ing  for  a  replacement  for  a  coach 
that  ha.s  left,  as  has  Bob  Clifford 
recently.  All  applications  are 
screened  by  him  with  the  help  of 
Len  Waiters  and  all  the  most  like- 
ly candidates  are  interviewed  per- 
sonally. President  Baxter  and  a 
member  of  the  Athletic  Council 
are  brought  in  on  the  final  choice. 

All  athletic  publicity  is  super- 
vised by  Thoms.  This  includes 
game  program  concessions  and  the 
releases  put  out  by  the  News  Bu- 
reau. At  odd  times  during  the  year 
the  athletic  head  may  travel  to 
conventions  and  speak  to  alumni 
groups.  Recently  he  hit  foiu'  cities 
after  attending  the  NCAA  Con- 
ference in  Los  Angeles.  Also  the 
gate  receipts  from  different  con- 
tests goes  through  his  office.  "The 
average  made  every  year  at  the 
gate  is  around  $20,000"  says  Thoms 
and  without  this  the  cost  of  ath- 
letics would  far  exceed  its  $70,000 
a  year. 

He  is  not  dissatisfied  with  the 
present  hockey  set-up  but  admits 
work  is  being  done  towards  getting 
a  cover  for  the  rink.  The  acquisi-

Eph  Squads  Win 
Six  League  Titles 

Frosh  Teams  Lead 
With  Four  Crowns 


By  Chuck  Dunkel 

Sunday,  Mar.  11  -  'With  the  'Wil- 
liams winter  teams  having  recent- 
ly completed  their  schedules,  the 
fall  and  winter  athletic  seasons 
are  now  events  of  the  past,  and 
the  time  has  ai-rived  to  look  back 
over  the  first  two-thirds  of  the 
year.  The  real  tests  of  any  ath- 
letic team  are  the  league  games, 
and  so  the  final  Little  Tliree 
standings  determine  our  most  suc- 
cessful teams.  This  college  year 
Williams  has  captured  six  cham- 
pionships in  the  Little  Three. 

The  fall  season  marked  the  low 
point  in  league  competition  for 
Williams,  with  only  the  freshman 
football  winning  the  Little  Thiee 
Crown.  Led  by  co-captains  Stu 
Wallace  and  Tom  Heekin,  the 
frosh  rolled  over  Wesleyan  43-6 
and  smashed  Amherst  52-0,  to  con- 
clude a  perfect  5-0  season.  Coach 
OstendaiT)  alternated  two  complete 
and  equally  strong  teams,  raising 
hopes  high  for  an  improved  var- 
sity team  next  fall. 

Williams  Dominates 

The  winter  season  brought  a 
great  comeback  in  Eph  athletics, 
as  the  varsity  swimming,  varsity 
squash,  frosh  swimming,  frosh  bas- 
ketball, and  frosh  wrestling  squads 
captured  league  titles.  Coach  Bob 
Muir's  varsity  swimming  team 
downed  Wesleyan  50-34  and  edged 
Amherst  43-41  to  gain  its  thir- 
teenth consecutive  Little  Three 
Crown,  a  record  unprecedented  in 
league  history.  The  frosh  swim- 
mers also  copped  the  title,  as  co- 
captains  Chip  Ide  and  Alex  Reeves 
led  the  strong  squad  to  a  48-26 
margin  over  Wesleyan  and  a  45-30 
triumph  down  at  Amherst.  The 
varsity  squash  team  completely 
dominated  the  league,  downing 
both  Amherst  and  Wesleyan  by  9-0 
scores. 

The  frosh  basketball  team  won 
its  first  league  title  in  6  years,  as 
Coach  Coombs'  squad  beat  the 
Cardinals  83-70  and  edged  Am- 
herst 79-71.  on  the  way  to  a  13-2 
season.  Another  championship 
Purple  outfit  was  the  frosh  wrest- 
ling team,  which  concluded  an  un- 
defeated season  by  winning  the 
New  England  championship.  Coach 
Ostendarp's  great  squad  beat  Wes- 
leyan 23-5  and  then  shut  out  the 
Jeffs  25-0.  The  varsity  hockey

Dietz,  Frosh  Relay  Lower  Marks 
As  Muirmen  Top  Fighting  UConn 

By  Simerul  Buitclt 
(Cambridge,  .Mass.,  .March  10  -  Led  by  co-captain  Bill  [eiiks 
and  captain-elect  Pete  Dietz,  the  VVilliams  varsity  swimming  team 
today  regained  the  New  England  Intercollegiate  Swimming  Cham- 
pionship which  it  lost  last  year  by  dint  of  a  premature  jump  in 
the  final  relay.  Once  again  the  final  relay  was  tlie  deciding  factor 
ill  the  championship.  Although  Williams  was  third  in  this  race, 
the  Ephs  obtained  sufficient  points  to  maintain  their  hard-earned 
edge  over  a  fighting  and  upset-minded  Connecticut  squad.  The 
team  gathered  ,57  points,  two  points  above  UConn.  .Amherst  was 
fourth. 

Peter  Dietz  broke  the  MIT  pool  record  in  the  220  yard  free- 
style trials  yesterday  afternoon.  The  freshman  400  yard  freestyle 
ri'lay  team  broke  the  standing  New  England  recoitl  in  the  fresh- 
man event  with  a  3:36.6  perlormance,  3.3  seconds  below  the  old 
riH.()rd. 

Medk'i/  Reltiii  Wins 
The  300  vard  medley  rela\'  team  started  out  in  Iroiit  with 
Pete  Lewis  leading  off  but  fell  slightly  behind  when  Bowdoin's 
ace  backstroke  Bob  Plonde  put  on  the  pressure.  Boh  Severance 
ill  the  breaststroke  leg  regained  some  of  the  lost  ground,  and  Bill 
Jenks  in  the  freestyle  leg  pulled  ahead  to  clinch  the  win.  The 
dis(|ualification  of  two  of  the  medley  relay  teams  in  the  finals 
had  no  effect  on  the  Williams  place,  but  Connecticut  gained  a 
\aluahle  second  place  in  this  manner.  The  Williams  team  did 
not  break  its  newly  i-ecognized   NEIS.A  record   of  2:54.4. 

Peter  Dietz  won  both  the  220 
and  440  by  reasonably  comfortable 
margins  which  added  welcome 
points  to  the  Eph  column.  Am- 
herst's Bob  Keiter  tied  the  MIT 
pool  and  NEISA  record  of  22.7  set 
I  by  Williams'  Dick  Martin  in  the  50, 
and  in  the  100  he  narrowly  edged 
out  Connecticut's  Maxwell  in  a 
fast  51.8  performance.  The  Wil- 
liams team,  which  placed  at  least 
one  man  in  each  event  and  two  in 
two  events,  got  its  only  double 
iJlace  in  the  50  where  co-captains 
Kirt  Gardner  and  Bill  Jenks  took 
third  and  fourth  place  respectively. 
Gardner  also  took  fourth  in  the 
100. 

Lewis  Takes  Second 
Pete  Lewis  turned  in  a  200 
yard  backstroke  performance  just 
slightly  above  his  college  record 
in  the  event.  Nevertheless  he  was 
unable  to  gain  a  lead  over  Bow- 
doin's Bob  Plourde  and  had  to  take 
a  second  place. 

Bob  Severance  placed  fifth  in 
the  150  yard  individual  medley  for 
the  Purple  squad.  Fred  Corns,  who 
edged  out  Barry  Buckley  in  the 
trials  by  .2  second,  took  sixth  place 
in  the  200  yard  breaststroke. 

Buster  Grossman  took  second 
place  in  the  fancy  diving  and  Bob 
Jones,  who  placed  seventh  in  the 
trials,  finished  out  of  the  point 
column.  Grossman  had  won  the 
preliminaries  but  was  bettered  in 
the  finals  by  Pete  Grundy  of 
Connecticut. 

The  Williams  Freshman  400 
yard  freestyle  relay  team  of  frosh 
co-captains  Chip  Ide  and  Alex 
Reeves  with  Marty  Mennen  and 
Jack  Hyland  took  an  early  lead  in 
both  the  trials  and  the  finals 
which  it  stretched  to  about  60 
feet  by  the  end  of  each  contest.

Semi -Final  Place 


Squash  Doubles  Contest 
Goes  to  Purple  Team 


Middletown,  Conn..  Mar.  10  -  Ol- 
lie  Stafford.  Williams'  number  orie 
squash  player  reached  the  semi- 
finals of  the  National  Intercolle- 
giate Squash  Tournament  but  lost 
to  M.  I.  T.'s  Juan  HermosiUa  today 
at  Wesleyan  College.  Stafford  ad- 
vanced to  the  semi-finals  after  a 
brilliant  series  of  victories  which 
appear  to  assure  him  the  ranking 
of  number  three  collegiate  player 
in   the  United   States. 

In  reaching  the  semis,  the  Eph 
ace  defeated  John  Clearwater  who 
is  first  man  from  Navy  by  a  3-1 
count,  and  then  proceeded  to  quick 
victories  over  Reed  Williamson 
from  Yale  and  Dan  Gardiner  from 
Princeton.  However,  in  the  next  to 
last  round,  Stafford  ran  into  the 
picture  game  of  HermosiUa  whose 
great  speed  and  skill  prevailed  over 
the  well  placed  strokes  of  the  Wil- 
liams star.  The  score  of  the  match 
which  was  15-12,  15-8  and  15-13 
does  not  reveal  the  closeness  of 
the  play  which  lasted  almost  an 
hour. 

National  Doubles  Champs 

Perhaps  the  biggest  surprise  of 
the  tourney  was  the  victory  in  the 
doubles  by  Tom  Jones  and  Sam 
Fells  which  makes  them  the  Na- 
tional Intercollegiate  Doubles 
Squash  Champions.  They  defeated 
Ted  Wiedeman  from  Amherst  and 
Bill  Crumm  from  Ai-my  in  the  fi- 
nals. In  the  singles,  Jones,  Eells, 
and  Scott  Wood  all  won  their  fiist 
round  matches,  but  were  defeated 
in  the  next  round.  The  showing  of 
the  Ephs  in  the  tournament  to-

Crowds  Judge  Frosh  -  Soph  Smash 
A  Success  as  Over  250  Attend 


Ralph  Stuart  Entertains 
At  Dance  Highlighting 
'Slack  Season'  Binge 


Sunday,  Mar.  11  -  According  to 
all  reports,  the  third  annual  Frosh- 
Soph  Smash  seems  to  have  ac- 
complished the  two-fold  purpose 
of  its  master  planners  and  assured 
the  prospects  of  a  fourth  Frosh- 
Soph  Smash  next  year. 

First:  A  break  between  winter 
and  spring  Houseparties  was  pro- 
vided for  a  Boodly  portion  of  the 
classes  of  '58  and  '59  with  a  hand- 
ful of  Juniors  and  Seniors  also 
taking  advantage  of  the  invitations 
extended  by  Freshman  Social 
Committee  Chairman  Herb  Var- 
num.  There  were  between  100  and 
125  couples  and  numerous  stags 
sipping  Orange  Blossoms  while 
digging  the  jazz  of  "Phirmey's  Fa- 
vorite Five"  (plus  two)  at  the  af- 
ternoon cocktail  party  in  the  Rath- 
skellar. 

"The  Mountains. . ." 

Second:  The  feeling  of  unity  be- 
tween classes  which  reached  its 
low,  low  point  in  the  Frosh-Soph 
riots  of  October  was  considerably 
strengthened  by  the  time  Ralph 
Stuart  and  his  orchestra  packed 
away  their  very  musical  instru- 
ments at  the  witching  hour  to  con- 
clude an  evening  of  dancing. 

Apparently  forgetting  the  shav- 
ed heads,  broken  doors,  and  flood- 
ed stairways  of  previous  encoun- 
ters, the  two  classes  laughed,  jok- 
ed and  generally  made  merry  while 
"swinging  with  Stuart"  and  ap- 
plauding the  harmony  and  antics 
of  the  Williams  Freshman  Octet. 
God  Rest  Ye  Merry, 

The  Freshman  revelers  did  not 
forget  their  own  class  ties,  how- 
ever, as  much  effusive  good  will, 
probably  inspired  by  the  Chef's  de- 
lightfully rare  Filet  Migncn,  was 
in  evidence  in  the  Freslimaii  Din- 
ing Hall.  In  their  eagerness  to 
greet  their  fellow  Classmates  (and 
dates),  many  freshmen  could  not 
contain  themselves  ind  table-hop- 
ping was  the  cry  of  the  night. 

When  all  was  finally  o'er,  the 
ratio  of  Fi-eshman  Quad  windows 
broken  to  alcohol  consumed  was 
surprisingly  and  pleasurably  small. 
Thus,  the  1956  Smash  should  go 
down  in  the  Williams  College 
Buildings  and  Grounds  records  as 
a  model  of  undestructive  merry- 
making! 


Honors  .  .  . 

Geology  5.  SI  03  deals  with  Geo- 
synclines,  and  Geology  8  is  pre- 
requisite. The  final  seminar,  S104, 
studies  the  "Development  of  Geo- 
logic Thought",  and  this  will 
be  taken  only  by  Geology  hon- 
ors students.  The  first  two  semi- 
nars are  open  to  those  outside  the 
major  who  are  qualified.  Geology 
honors  men  must  have  taken 
Chemistry  1-2  sometime  before  or 
during  the  junior  year.  Unlike 
most  subjects,  the  3-4  course  is 
not  required  for  the  major,  but  7-8 
is.

the  League  of  Composers  Award. 

He  also  won  the  first  annual 
award  of  the  New  York  Critics 
Circle  in  1940  for  his  "Symphony 
Number  111",  and  was  similarly 
honored  in  1951-52  for  "Judith". 
The  National  Association  of  Amer- 
ican Composers  Award  of  Merit 
went  to  Dr.  Schuman  in  1941-42. 

International  Faine 

Many  of  Dr.  Schuman's  works 
have  been  widely  performed,  both 
in  this  country  and  abroad,  and 
his  talent  is  internationally  ap- 
preciated. His  best  known  pieces 
include  several  symphonies  and 
string  quartets,  and  "American 
Festival  Overture",  "William  Bill- 
ings Overture",  "Circus  Overture", 
a  Concerto  for  Piano  and  Orches- 
tra, and  a  concerto  for  Violin  and 
Orchestra.  He  has  also  written  two 
Secular  Contatas:  "This  is  Our 
Time"  and  his  Prize-winning  "A 
Free  Song".  "Credendum",  Dr. 
Schuman's  latest  work,  had  its 
premiere  performance  last  night 
in  Philadelphia. 

Among  the  organizations  that 
have  commissioned  the  eminent 
composer  to  do  major  works  are 
the  Elizabeth  Sprague  Coolidge 
Foundation,  the  Koussevitzky  Mu- 
sic Foundation,  Ballet  Theatre,  the 
Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  and 
the  Dallas  Symphony  League. 

Dr.  Schuman  received  his  B  S. 
in  1935  and  his  M.A.  in  1937.  both 
from  Columbia,  and  holds  honor- 
ary degrees  from  Columbia.  Chi- 
cago Musical  College,  Wisconsin 
University,  The  Philadelphia  Con- 
servatory of  Music,  and  the  Cin- 
cinnati College  of  Music.  After 
serving  on  the  faculty  at  Juilliard 
for  ten  years,  he  v>fas  made  Pre- 
.sldent  of  that  institution  in  1945. 


"looking  at  the  slradows  of  reality 
and  not  reality  itself".  To  the 
early  Cliristian,  the  hope  of  glory 
"was  the  hope  of  splendor  and  of 
meaning.  While  it  lasted,  it  was 
the  moral  fiber  of  the  Christian 
community." 

We  are  losing  the  hope  of  glory 
because  of  psychology  and  realism. 
Materialism  has  caused  us  to  ex- 
change it  for  "prosperity".  But 
|)i'ospcrity  is  only  a  temporary 
comfort.  In  today's  society,  how- 
ever, we  tend  to  think  of  the  pre- 
„Ml  instead  of  the  future.  The  lit- 
.le  that  remains,  pointed  out  Dr. 
N.ebuhr,  "manifests  itself  when 
we  endure  those  things  we  did  not 
believe  we  could  endure." 

Graduate  of  Elmhurst 

Dr.  Niebuhr  is  brother  of  the 
noted  theologian  Reinhold  Nie- 
buhr. A  graduate  of  Elmhurst  Col- 
lege and  Eden  Theological  Semi- 
nary, Dr.  Niebuhr  holds  an  M.A. 
and  a  Ph.  D.  from  Yale.  He  sei'ved 
for  several  years  as  President  of 
Elmhuist  College,  and  has  been 
on  the  Yale  faculty  for  almost 
thirty  years.  An  informal  dinner 
was  served  at  the  Congregational 
Church  following  Chapel  and  pro- 
ceeding the  ensuing  discussion 
period.  Dr.  Niebuhr  answered  sev- 
eral questions  which  were  asked 
of  him  following  his  talk.

tem of  unemployment  compensa- 
tion does  not  begin  to  cover  all 
workers  in  these  three  divisions. 
The  negative  argued  that  a 
guaranteed  annual  wage  was  not 
necessary  because  of  the  unpre- 
cedented prosperity  which  we  en- 
joy. They  also  pointed  out  that 
such  a  program  was  unnecessary, 
impractical,  and  financially  im- 
possible. The  negative  further  ar- 
gued that  our  economy  has  never 
been  in  better  shape,  that  unem- 
ployment was  down  to  four  per 
cent  of  the  working  force  and 
that  wages  have  increased  at  a 
faster  rate  than  has  the  cost  of 
living.

not  written  in  secret  code— reveal

Museum  Exhibits 
One -Man  Shows 


Beckman,  Trapp  Display 
Paintings,  Lithography 


Saturday.  Mar,  17  -  Two  one- 
man  shows  are  currently  on  ex- 
hibit at  the  Lawrence  Art  Muse- 
um and  will  continue  through  the 
beginning  of  spring  vacation.  The 
paintings  on  exhibit  are  by  the 
distinguished  German  expression- 
ist Max  Beckman,  and  Frank  An- 
derson Trapp,  assistant  professoi' 
of  art  at  Williams. 

Fifteen  paintings  by  Mr.  Trapp 
constitute  his  first  one-man  show 
at  Williams.  However,  his  work 
has  been  exhibited  in  Pittsburijh 
and  in  several  other  art  exhibits 
around  the  country.  In  the  paint- 
ings displayed  here,  done  within 
the  past  year  and  a  half,  the  33 
year-old  artist  has  used  abstract 
elements  in  basically  reuresenta- 
tional  figure  pieces.  Prices  will  be 
available  to  all  who  wish  them  on 
request. 

Beckman's  Work 

Beckman's  work  has  been  se- 
cured through  arrangements  with 
the  Museum  of  Modern  Art  and 
consists  of  35  prints.  Most  of  the 
prints  are  lithographs  imade  from 
stone)  or  dry  points  (made  from 
copper  plates),  although  a  couple 
of  woodcuts  are  Included,  These 
prints  represent  work  done  from 
1911  to  1946.  Especially  noted  in 
the  exhibition  is  "The  Night" 
which  marks  Beckman's  transition 
from  World  War  I  years  when  his 
experiences  as  a  corpsman  in  Bel- 
gium anc  Fiance  produced  a  great 
spiritual  shock. 

Before  this  transition,  Beckman 
studied  at  the  Weimar  School  of 
Art  and  traveled  to  Florence  and 
Paris.  He  studied  the  old  Masters, 
particularly  Plero  della  Francesca 
and  French  Primitives,  and  admir- 
ed the  contemporary  work  of  Ce- 
zanne and  Van  Gogh.  The  transi- 
tion of  the  war  years  moved  him 
from  a  classically  conceived  style 
of  painting  to  a  reallst-lmpress- 
ionlst  approach  In  which  emotions 
play  an  Important  part.  During  the 
post-war  years  Beckman's  work 
evolved  a  complex  personal  sym- 
bolism. After  the  war,  he  came 
to  the  United  States,  and  taught 
In  St.  Louis  and  Brooklyn.  Beck- 
man died  In  1950,  but  not  before 
he  had  Influenced  several  young 
American  artists. 


Pierson  Speaks  in  Art  Museum 
On  Famous  Architect,  Richardson 

Thursday,  .March  15  -  "There  is  little  in  human  actisity  that 
Richardson's  architecture  didn't  embrace",  stated  Professor  Pier.son. 
Lectiuing  before  an  overflow  crowd  :it  Lawrence  Art  Museum 
today  Pierson  spoke  on  the  topic,  "II.  II.  Richardson:  Romantic 
or  .Modern':' ' 

In  Richardson  s  repertoire  ol  buildings  and  structures  are 
-O  churches,  stores,  libraries,  bridges 
and  many  houses  of  which  "no 
two  liouses  are  alike".  One  of  the 
most  famous  of  the  Richardson 
creations  is  the  Trinity  Church  in 
Boston,  although  he  is  known  for 
many  others  including  the  court 
house  in  Pittsburgh  and  a  ware- 
house in  Chicago. 

Love    L^nparalleled 

Born  in  Louisiana  in  a  liberal 
environment.  Richardson  was  al- 
lowed a  great  deal  of  freedom  of 
thought.  In  1859  he  graduated 
from  Harvard  and  shortly  after 
went  tc  Paris  where  he  studied  for 
three  years.  When  the  legs  of  his 
family's  fortune  gave  out  from  un- 
dei'  him,  Richardson  was  forced  to 
go  to  work,  and  so  when  he  re- 
turned to  the  states  from  Paris 
shortly  after,  he  brought  back  with 
him  a  training  in  architecture  un- 
paralleled. For  Richardson,  archi- 
tectm'e  was  a  love  unparalleled, 
greater  even  than  that  for  his 
fiance.  When  he  died  some  twenty 
years  later,  Richardson  was  at 
the  head  of  his  profession. 

Speaking  on  whether  he  could 
be  termed  modern.  Pierson  stated 
"it  is  my  deep  conviction  that  he 
is  not".  He  w'as  assumed  to  be  a 
modernist  because  he  followed 
these  three  concepts;  an  under- 
standing of  the  day,  an  organic 
nature  and  a  structural  method. 
However,  Pierson  said  that  others 
were  thinking  in  the  same  way 
and  that  his  methods  were  tradi- 
tional and  related  to  the  past. 

Slides  Shown 

Talking  about  Richardson's 
work.  Pierson  stated  tliat  "it  has 
a  quality  unmistakably  his  own". 
Philips,  a  life  long  companion  of 
Richardson  once  said  that,  "the 
man  and  the  work  are  one".  Yet 
Richardson  did  not  do  all  his  work 
himself.  He  would  make  a  swift 
drawing  of  the  main  plan,  and 
leave  the  rest  up  to  his  office  staff. 

Pierson's  lecture  was  accom- 
panied by  many  slides,  some  of 
which  were  on  the  work  of  other 
architects  besides  Richardson.  At 
times  the  buildings  ot  Williams 
were  put  along  side  those  of  Ri- 
chardson for  contrast.

Saturday,  Mar.  17  -  Robert 
Gaudino.  Instructor  in  Political 
Science,  announced  last  week  that 
he  will  lead  a  nearly-all-expenses- 
paid  trip  to  Washington,  D.  C. 
during  spring  vacation.  Tlrere  will 
be  space  available  for  12  to  15  stu- 
dents. 

Only  seniors  who  major  in  Poli- 
tical Science.  Economics,  History, 
or  American  History  and  Litera- 
ture are  eligible  for  consideration. 
Requests  for  these  openings  will 
be  judged  by  the  chairman  of  the 
four  departments  involved.  The 
main  criterion  for  selection,  said 
Gaudino,  will  be  academic  record. 
According  to  present  plans,  the 
group  will  begin  its  three-day  tour 
on  March  26. 

This  annual  excursion  is  financ- 
ed by  the  memorial  fund  of  the 
late  George  J.  Meade.  The  purpose 
is  to  leam  about  the  workings  ot 
our  federal  government.  The  agen- 
da includes  seminars  in  Washing- 
ton and  interviews  with  congress- 
men and  members  of  the  Judiciary 
and  Executive  branches. 


Williams  News  Bureau  Works 
To  Publicize  Athletic  Contests, 
Other  Activities  of  Eph  Students 

1)1/  Vic  Van  Vnlin 

Saturday,  March  17  -  The  News  Bureau  is  probably  the  most 
often  over-looked,  and  vet  one  of  the  most  important  iiistitutions 
on  the  Williams  campus.  The  main  job  of  this  branch  of  the  Pub- 
licity Direch)i's  office  is  to  get  Williams  College  before  the  eves 
of  the  public,  and  this  means  a  tremendous  amount  of  work. 

The  big  function  of  this  student-run  organization  consists  of 
informing  hometown  iiews|)a])ers  when  a  "local  boy  makes  good 
at  \\'illi:iins".  This  eould  mean  anything  from  being  a  member  of 
the  \arsit\  lootball  s(|uad  to  holding  down  a  position  on  the  fin- 
ger-])aiiiting  team.  In  the  Bureau's  voluminous  files  are  kept  the 
acti\itv  records  of  e\erv  student.  If  there  is  an  activity  tliat  tlie 
News  Bureau  does  not  cover,  it  must  be  a  secret  society  —  so  se- 
cret no  one  has  ever  heard  .:ibout  it. 

Sports  Covcrafic 

Sports  are  the  Irig  attraction  in  extra-curricular  activities,  and 
it  is  the  News  Bureau  that  sees  to  it  that  the  events  are  publicized. 
Before  e\erv  contest  the  Bureau  sends  a  preliminary  suminarv  of 
the  opposing  teams  to  local  newspapers,  .'^fter  the  battle,  the  final 
results  are  sent  bv  the  News  Bureau's  own  teletxpe  machine  to 
such  papers  and  i)ress  associations  as  the  New  \'orV  Times  and 
Uernld-Trihune.  the  U.  P.  and  the  \.  P..  plus  local  papers. 

During  football  season  the  Bureau  maintains  a  .section  of  the 
press  box  and  compiles  vard-bv-vard  statistics  on  al!  the  home 
games.  Twice  a  year  press  books  are  made  up,  one  for  winter  sports 
and  one  for  sjiring  sports.  Thev  contain  thumb-nail  biographies 
of  each  coach,  past  vears'  records,  a  summary  of  tlie  prospects, 
and  the  schedule  for  the  forthcoming  season.  These  books  are 
sent  out  all  over  the  East  to  radio  stations  and  newspapers.  The 
News  Bureau  is  also  respoiisilile  for  pubhci/ing  such  important 
functions  as  housejiarties,  esiieciallv  the  Winter  C^arnival. 

,\  iini(|ue  feature  of  this  organiziition  is  that  the  members 
are  actually  paid  for  their  work.  'The  amount  per  month  for  un- 
derclassmen is  rather  small  but  the  board  members  rake  in  a  pret- 
tv  respectable  haul.

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

Po.ssibly  iiirtiiy  students  do  not  realize  the  importance  to  VVil- 
liains  College  of  a  re-organized  Purple  Key.  Intercollege  and  preji 
school  coni]5etition  is  one  of  tlie  best  opportunities  for  outsiders 
to  ae(|uaint  themselves  with  Williams. 

The  fine  name  and  good  will  im]5ressions  which  have  been 
predominately  spread  by  our  .\diuissions  Office,  active  alumni, 
and  indixidual  students  can  be  changed  in  a  few  hours  by  hap- 
hazard treatment  to  \isiting  teams.  However,  good  receptions  and 
consideration  while  on  the  Williams  cam|5us  can  be  (|uite  impres- 
sive and  do  much  toward  elevating  the  college's  position  in  visi- 
tors' minds. 

As  an  example  of  the  kind  of  treatment  manv  Williams  teams 
receive  at  other  colleges,  the  following  letter  handed  to  me  by  Mr. 
Thorns  is  an  example: 

Dear  Mr.  Thorns: 

The  Aihlctic  Department  and  the  Block  "H"  club 
of  Hamilton  College  are  planninp,  to  serve  refreshments 
to  the  learns  after  the  hockeij  ^ame  on  Feb.  27th.  The 
meeting:,  wilt  hi.st  onhj  a  short  while,  and  its  purpose  is 
to  have  the  boi/s  on  the  different  teams  meet  each  other. 
If,  for  any  reason,  t/ott  wil  not  be  able  to  attend,  please 
let  tis  know.  Thank  i/oii. 

Sineerelt/, 

"BLOCK  "H"  CLUB 

Other  schools  also  have  sent  letters  to  the  Athletic  Office 
previous  to  a  contest  and  stated  that  they  would  provide  gum, 
oranges  and  any  other  services  which  our  teams  inight  desire  while 
thev  were  guests  on  their  campuses. 

Probably  inost  impressive  is  the  treatment  a  team  receives 
while  \isiting  West  Point,  Annapolis,  or  New  London.  At  the.se 
academies,  men  are  detailed  to  take  care  of  visiting  teams. 

At  Williams  we  should  not  ha\e  to  detail  anyone  to  serve  as 
a  host  to  a  visiting  team.  We  should  out  of  pride  for  our  school  de- 
sire to  be  conscientious  hosts  either  officially  or  unofficially.  Here 
everyone  has  an  opportunitv  to  serve  the  college  by  being  gracious 
and  courteous  to  visitors  on  oiu'  campus. 
Sincerely  yours, 

A  Williams  Booster 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

It  is  the  opinion  of  the  members  of  the  Student  Union  Com- 
mittee that  the  interest  and  concern  of  the  student  body  regard- 
ing the  Student  Union,  as  seen  in  the  feature  story  and  ediorial  of 
the  March  10  issue  of  the  Record,  is  a  healthy  and  helpful  thing. 
The  overall  attitude  of  the  students  expressed  in  the  poll  was  a 
favorable  one.  but  we  feel  it  our  duty  as  meinbers  of  the  Student 
Union  Committee  to  answer  the  few  specific  complaints  and  sug- 
gestions presented,  and  at  the  same  time  rectify  the  fallacious  ones. 

1-  Prior  to  the  issue  of  the  Record  of  March  10,  instruc- 
tions had  been  given  for  opening  of  the  doors  in  question. 
This  includes  tlie  meeting  rooms,  rathskeller,  snack  bar, 
and  the  independent  loinige. 

2-  Also  prior  to  the  same  issae  of  the  Record,  the  Con- 
nolly Petition  hours  tvere  adopted.  This  fact  was  witnessed

A  Tear  Jerking  Tale  .... 
'Listen  to  the  Rhythm  of  the... ! 

bi/  Handii  llansell 

This  story  is  intendeil  to  invoke  your  sympathy.  We  are  ask- 
ing you  to  let  yom-  heart  bleed  a  little  and  perhaps  even  shed  :i  tear 
or  two.  For  now,  vou  are  going  to  hear  the  sad,  sad  tale  of  the  poor 
chap  who  actually  can  lay  claini  to  being  withont  doubt  one  of 
tlie  most  unpopular  per.sons  on  campus  for  five  minutes  e\crv 
single  day. 

Now  don't  get  us  wrong,  we  are  making  no  personal  asper- 
sions of  anv  kind.  It's  just  that  he  must  dailv  perform  a  task  which 
does  very  little  to  endear  him  to  the  hearts' of  the  sons  of  Epii.  In 
lact,  there  are  many  students,  indeed,  who  are  (|ui(e  outspoken 
over  his  rightful  merits  to  hold  this  "well-deserved"  -  'tho  dub- 
ious —  distinction. 

Who  El.te  lint .  . .? 

We  are,  of  course,  referring  to  that  heretofore  anonymous, 
iinlortunate  soul  who,  on  a  miserable,  freezing,  blizzardly  Mon- 
day "inorning  after"  a  big  weekend,  at  e.vactly  five  miiuites  before 
eight,  blasts  out  "Oh  What  a  lieautifiil  .Morning!"  on  the  Chapel 
Chimes,  much  to  the  dismay  of  the  ilefenseless,  staggering  class- 
goers  down  below. 

Seriously,  "playing  those  chimes  is  quite  a  task",  Hans  Boon 
56  says.  Ami  h(^  should  know,  for  he  has  had  this  unusual  job  for 
three  years.  For  tho.se  who  somehow  never  (piite  manage  to  rouse 
out  at  that  early  hour  or,  more  probahlv,  for  those  whose  hearing 
isn't  tunctioiiing  too  well  vet,  we  hasten  to  exi)laiii  that  Hans, 
every  morning  jnst  before  S  o'clock  classes,  gracefully  serenades 
the  campus  with  a  spirited  niedlev  of  popular  (and  some  not- 
(|uite-so-popular)  songs  on  the  CJhapel  Chimes. 
Cunt  I'lca.sr  'em  All .  .  . 

.Vdmittedlv  there  are  those  who  don't  always  agree  100  per 
cent  with  the  selections  offered  day  in  and  day  out.  But  in  light 
of  a  few  extenuating  circumstances,  some  of  the  campus  commen- 
tary may  seem  a  bit  unjustified.  For  example,  the  biggest  difficulty, 
Hans  claims,  is  that  the  Chimes  can  produce  only  10  different 
iiotes.  ".\nd  it's  very  tough  to  find  songs  which  can  fit  into  so 
limited  range",  he  points  out.  His  current  repertoire  includes  some 
25  songs. 

Briefly,  the  simple  mechanical  setup  shows  inside  the  Chapel 
downstairs  a  panel  of  10  different  lexers,  each  one  connected  by 
a  long  chain  to  a  separate  bell  up  in  the  Belfry.  Thus  Hans,  to  offer 
his  morning  concert,  mnst  stand  there  and  pull  the  various  levers 
in  some  semblance  of  order  and  rhythm  with  the  liop<\s  it  sounds 
something  like  music.  This  odd  setup  creates  ;m()ther  difficulty 
for  Hans  Boon,  it  prevents  him  from  hearing  the  melodious  ri'- 
siilts  of  his  labors  (although  there  are  many,  of  course,  who  may 
think  this  is  not  so  bad  after  all .  .  .) 


during  the  Frosh-Soph  Smash  last  weekend. 

3-  Two  weeks  prior  to  the  same  issue  the  suggested  game 

room  hours  were  in  effect. 

This  leaves  only  the  two  suggestions  of  the  beer  concession 
in  the  rathskeller,  and  the  free  plione  to  be  dealt  with.  We  con- 
sider both  these  suggestions  valid,  but  they  ha\e  been  looked  into 
in  the  past  and  both  unfortunately  are  impo.ssible.  The  beer  con- 
cession because  a  matter  of  law  is  involved  since  most  of  the  stud- 
ents concerned  are  under  21  (we  hasten  to  add  that  refriger;ition 
facilities  are  jirovided  for  those  hoys  wishing  to  bring  their  own 
beer);  the  phone  because  the  Teleiihone  C()in|anv  iloes  not  pro- 
vide strictly  local  service,  liowexer,  the  possibility  of  a  college 
switchboard  which  would  pro\  ide  this  service  is  beiiig  looked  into. 

The  Student  Union  (Committee  wishes  once  again  to  thank 
the  Record  for  the  student  interest  which  it  has  generated.  We 
hope  that  more  eoiistructi\'e  suggestions  and  criticisms  will  be 
made,  because  it  is  only  in  this  way  that  the  Student  Union  Com- 
mittee can  hope  to  fulfill  the  wishes  of  the  student  body.

An  Exhibit  by  Frank  Trapp 

hi)  Ted  Slo.s-.ton 
It  is  a  pleasure  to  witness  new  expn^ssions  in  art  coiubiiud 
with  technical  skill.  Siicli  are  the   paintings  of   Professor   Frank 
Trapp,  now  on  exhibition  in  Lawrence  Hall  Art  Museum. 

Dr.  Trapp  has  gone  to  the  classics  in  literature  for  his  siih- 
jeet  matter  and  to  past  masters,  such  as  Hembrantit  and  Vales- 
(|iiez,  for  compositional  ideas,  but  lu^re  the  analogy  ends,  as  llie 
inti!r|)retatioiis  are  personal  and  highly  original.  The  close  aware- 
ness to  tradition  is  the  eonseions  result  ol  Dr.  rrap|)'s  intelleelnal 
approach  to  art  history. 

What  is  particularly  nni(|ue  is  iUc  modern  indi\iual  (|nali(y 
of  the  paintings.  This  imusnal  <piality  stems  Iroin  the  abstrict 
backgrounds  and  symbols  which  are  coupled  with  the  classir.ij 
figures.  This  results  in  an  addition:il  power  aeeenting  the  palli.is 
ol  Don  Quixote,  the  lightning  fall  of  Lnciler,  the  fire  of  Promo- 
theus  and  the  story  ol  Man.  The  abstraction  and  classicism  1 1- 
gether  emphasize  a  play  of  lornis  and  are,  as  Dr.  I'rapp  stal.  s, 
".  .  .  linages  used  in  different  degrees  of  abstraction  ". 

Only  through  his  mastery  ol  leehmqiie  has  Dr.  Trapp  ben 
able  to  fuse  the  two  elements  ol  abstraction  and  realism  into  ce  ii- 
ijositions  that  strikingly  portray  some  ol  the  liiu'st  passages  uf 
literature.  This  command  has  resulted  in  a  new  expression  m 
painting  and  watercolor  that  is  well  worth  seeing.

Wedne.sday,  Mar.  11  -  A  strong 
senior  team  of  varsity  veteran.s  de- 
feated next  season's  probable  var- 
sity basketball  team  76-61.  in  an 
informal  name  in  Lasell  Gym.  The 
seniors  displayed  smooth  team- 
work and  alert  floor  play  in  down- 
ini4  the  favored  undeiclas.smen, 
taking  the  lead  for  good  mid-way 
through  the  first  quarter  and 
coasting  to  an  eiusy  victory.  Jim 
Symons  led  all  .scorers  with  19 
points.  17  of  them  in  the  first 
half,  as  the  .seniors  took  a  42-33

Bobby  Coombs  Inspires  Ephs 


Williams  Coach  Played  With  Giants,  A's, 
Pitched  'Gopher'  to  Ruth  in  First  Game 

hy  Karl  Hinliiiuiii 
.\lr.  Kaymond  Frank  Coombs,  better  known  as  "Bobby"  or 
"Coach"  to  the  Williams  basel)all  playeis  ol  the  past  decade,  is 
one  ol  those  easy  K"''1K  likeable  people  who  seem  to  contradict 
the  now  famous  sayinf;  of  Eddie  Stanky  that,  "Nice  f^iiys  don't 
win  ball  jjames '.  At  first  entiuiice  into  the  little  loom  called  the 
cajje  where  Williams'  ball  players  woik  out  in  the  sprinj^,  one  is 
imniediati^ly  impressed  with  the  fact  that  not  only  has  Bobby 
succeeded  in  winninj;  a  jiood  many  games,  but  also  a  good  many 
friends. 

Besides  this  atmosphere  which  seems  to  invoke  immediate 
liking  from  all  ai'ound  him,  "(Joach"  has  a  baseball  history  which 
reveals  his  knack  for  handling  hall  plavers  and  training  and  coach- 
ing consistently  good  teams,  lie  was  graduated  troni  Duke  Univ- 
ersity in  1933,  and  immediately  went  into  the  major  leagues 
with    the    Philadelijhia    Athletics! 

This  was  two  yeais  after  the  A's  had  won  the  pennant  with 
the  all  time  great  team  which  in- 
cluded Jimmy  Foxx,  Pinky  Higglns, 
Mickey  Cochran,  and  Lefty  Grove. 
These  and  a  host  of  other  greats 
surrounded  the  raw  rookie  from 
college  who  invaded  Philadelphia 
in  1933.  Mr.  Coombs  started  into 
this  adventure  into  professional 
baseball  as  a  relief  pitcher  and 
never  managed  to  start  in  a  ma- 
jor league  ball  game. 

In  his  first  appearance  with  the 
Athletics,  Bobby  was  called  upon 
to  pitch  against  the  greatest  slug- 
ger of  all  time  and  the  nemesis 
of  more  than  one  great  pitcher. 
Babe  Ruth.  The  count  was  two  and 
two  when  Bobby  let  up  on  a  high 
pitch  acros.s  the  shoulders.  Ruth 
let  it  go.  and  the  umpire  called 
it  a  ball.  Bobby  thought  he  had 
struck  out  the  Babe,  but  the  um- 
pire disagreed. 

Gopher  Ball 

Once  more  a  let  up  was  thrown 
to  Ruth  but  this  time  he  was  wait- 
ing for  it.  He  hit  the  ball  knee  high 
and  lifted  it  high  in  the  air.  At 
first,  Bobby  thought  big  Jimmy 
Foxx,  the  first  baseman  would 
catch  it.  Then  as  it  soared  over 
his  head,  he  thought  the  second 
baseman  and  then  the  center 
fielder  would  gather  In  the  ball 
for  the  out.  To  this  day,  Bobby 
swears  that  nobody  has  caught  up 
with  that  ball  after  it  left  the  park. 
In  his  first  big  league  appearance, 
young  Coombs  had  pitched  a  go- 
pher ball  to  the  greatest  home  run 
hitter  of  all  time. 

Another  thrill  which  the  Wil- 
liams coach  remembers  in  his  first 
year  with  the  A's  was  when  he  was 
called  on  to  hit  when  the  Phila- 
delphia club  was  only  one  run  a- 
liead  and  the  bases  were  loaded 
with  two  out.  Bobby  did  not  even 
have  a  bat  of  his  own  so  he  decided 
to  borrow  the  big  war  club  of  Jim- 
my Foxx.  He  stepped  up  to  the 
plate  and  faced  the  big  left  handed 
pitcher.

This  winter  saw  the  rise  of  a  new  major  sport  on  the  Williams 
athletic  scene.  The  new  arri\al  is  the  hockey  team  and  the  stan- 
dard used  ill  measuring  its  po|)nlarity  was  the  crowds  it  drew 
lor  its  home  games.  Even  though  it  had  a  losing  season,  coach 
Bill  -McConnick's  team  furnished  exciting,  and  at  times  good,  hoc- 
key, while  playing  the  best  teams  in  the  East.  Large  crowds  at- 
tended at  least  parts  of  the  games  des|)ite  the  discomforts  of  the 
cold  and  windblown  rink.  On  a  day  when  the  temperature  was 
just  below  freezing  and  the  air  was  damp,  the  stands  were  full 
ol  students,  faculty  members,  and  towiiS])eople  watching  the  Ephs 
pla\'  a  close  match  with  Dartmouth.  .\nd  during  Honseparty 
Weekend,  the  liockey  game  against  .\iiiherst  took  in  S2.50  in  gate 
receipts,  more  than  the  eM'iiing's  basketball  game. 

■Mtliough  the  students  are  willing  to  support  the  team  by  at- 
tending games,  the  facilities  at  the  rink  make  it  as  hard  as  possible 
to  enjoy  watching  the  sport.  I'irst  of  all,  a  spectator  has  no  way  of 
knowing  what  is  going  on  in  the  game.  There  is  not  even  a  score- 
board to  tell  him  who  is  winning,  let  alone  a  clock  so  that  be 
knows  Ikav  much  time  is  left,  or  a  scorecard  so  he  can  tell  who 
is  playing.  It  would  be  relati\eU  iiiex|)eiisiye  for  the  college  to 
erect  a  simple  wooden  scoreboard. 

As  big  a  belli  as  these  would  be,  there  is  one  long-term  ])ro- 
ject  that  the  athletic  department  should  keep  in  mind.  The  rink 
should  be  coxered  so  that  a  sjiectator  could  watch  the  whole  gami' 
instead  of  being  lucky  if  he  can  fight  the  numbing  cold  for  one 
period.  This  would  be  an  ex])ensive  proposition,  but  there  is  no 
I  sense  in  leaving  such  good  facili- 
ties as  the  rink  itself  provides,  only 
I  partly  useful.  Certainly  one  bene- 
j  fit  of  intercollegiate  sports  is  to 
1  the  spectators  who  can  watch  their 
teams  in  action.  Without  a  cover 
to  break  the  wind  and  serve  as  a 
warmer  for  the  air  no  spectator 
can  he  expected  to  stay  for  the 
whole  game,  no  matter  how  excit- 
I  Ing  it  may  be. 

There   are  other  advantages  to 

a  cover  for  the  rink.  The  Ice  could 

be  used  for  longer  periods  during 

the  year,  both  for  the  team  and 

general  student  skating.  The  extra 

practice  period  would  make  for  a 

I  better  hockey  team.  Some  main- 

I  tenance  costs  would  be  saved  by 

not  having  to  clear  the  ice  after 

snow    storms.    But    mainly,     the 

hockey    team,    which    has   proved 

that  it  has  student  support,  would 

I  not  be  playing  part  of  the  game 

only   for   itself   because   it   is   too

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  SATURDAY,  MARCH  17,  1956 


Eph  Graduates  Find  Oxford  Rewarding 


By    Bill    Edgar 

Seven  Williams  graduates  ure 
studying  at  Dxfoid  this  year.  Ac- 
cording to  Student  Aid  Director 
Henry  N.  Flynt,  this  group  is  the 
largest  since  World  War  II.  Usual- 
ly only  two  or  three  Ephmen  are 
sent  each  year. 

"There  has  been  considerable 
comment  about  this  invasion  . . ." 
writes  Ralph  Aiken  '54,  who  is 
enrolled  in  Exeter  College.  "People 
are  beginning  to  ask  where  this 
Williams  place  is,  and  what's  go- 
ing on  in  them  thar  hills.  I 
wouldn't  be  surprised  if  we  rivaled 
the  Harvard  delegation  by  now. 
At  least  here  we  aren't  confused 
with  William  and  Mary:  they've 
never  heard  of  that." 

Given  the  opportunity  to  study 
at  Oxford  by  fellowships,  these 
Williams  men  are  without  excep- 
tion grateful  for  the  experience, 
which  they  consider  worthwhile 
and  exciting.  Writes  Bob  Bischoff 
'52  in  retrospect:  "I  can  say  that 
those  two  years  (at  Oxford)  were 
about  the  happiest  and  most  re- 
warding of  my  life,  and  I  will  ap- 
preciate them  all  the  rest  of  my 
life." 

"...  thouerh  medieval ..." 
Located  on  the  Thames.  51  miles 
west  of  London,  Oxford  University 
has  been  an  educational  center 
since  early  in  the  twelfth  cen- 
tury. It  is  composed  of  about  30 
colleges,  each  with  an  average  en- 
rollment of  about  150  students. 
The  colleges,  although  each  is 
marked  by  its  own  distinctive  at- 
mo.<iphere,  offer  in  general  the 
same  liberal  arts  programs  of 
courses. 

Most  students  live  in  dormitor- 
ies, but  the  less  fortunate  "live 
out" — in  lodgings  in  the  town. 
"My  lodgings  in  the  dorm,"  says 
Rick  Smith  '55,  a  Fulbright  Schol- 
ar at  Balliol  College,  "though  me- 
dieval, are  comfortable." 

Conditions  in  the  dormitories 
— some  of  which  date  from  the 
fourteenth  century — are  often  pri- 
mitive. Some  have  no  bathrooms, 
and  Oxonians  can  be  seen  walking 
around  the  quad  in  bathrobes  with 
toothbrush  in  hand.  Most  Wil- 
liams men  complain  of  the  lack  of 
central  heating. 

Rules   and   Gowns 

To  an  American  college  student, 
regulations  and  customs  at  Oxford 
might  seem  strict  and  unneces- 
sary. No  complaints,  however,  have 
appeared  in  the  letters  of  the 
Williams  graduates. 

The  gates  of  each  college  are 
locked  every  night  at  hours  vary- 
ing with  each  college  (usually  a- 
bout  midnight).  Students  are  re- 
quired to  be  in  at  this  time.  A 
trip  of  more  than  a  specified  dis- 
tance from  the  university  (usually 
about  30  miles)  cannot  be  taken 
without  a  tutor's  permission. 

Oxford  students  must  wear 
gowns    to    lectures,    meals     (the 


Slants  .  .  . 


cold    for    students    to   stay    and 
watch. 

I  know  that  some  members  of 
the  college  administration  realize 
that  the  rink  should  be  covered  at 
a  time  in  the  future.  This  is  a  plea 
to  make  that  time  soon.  I  also 
know  that  the  college  needs  funds 
for  other  purposes  than  adding  to 
the  athletic  plant.  But  should  a 
job  be  left  half-done  much  longer?

members  of  a  college  eat  dinner  to- 
gether every  evening  in  the  Halls ) , 
in  chapel,  and  when  visiting  a 
master.  Required  for  admittance 
to  examinations  is  the  "sub-fuse": 
a  costume  consisting  of  a  dark  suit, 
black  socks  and  shoes,  a  white 
shirt  and  dark  tie,  and  a  gown. 
To  Help,  not  Teach 
The  academic  freedom  al  Ox- 
ford, however,  is  considerable.  The 
Williams  men  doing  graduate  work 
there  are  required  to  attend  week- 
ly tutorials  at  which  the  tutors 
(colloquially  called  "dons")  meet, 
individually  with  the  students  and 
guide  their  reading.  Optional  lec- 
tures are  given  every  morning  on 
a  wide  variety  of  subjects.  No  tests 
or  formal  assignments  are  given. 
"Oxford,"  observes  Carl  Rosen 
'55,  ".. .  where  students  have  no 
constant  prod  of  exams  to  force 
them  to  maintain  certain  mini- 
mum standards  of  proficiency,  pre- 
sents a  situation  which  would  ap- 
pall most  Williams  professors,  for 
the  great  majority  of  students 
here  seriously  abuse  the  extreme 
intellectual  freedoms  granted 
them." 

But,  as  Williams  Classics  In- 
structor Samuel  Edwards — who 
studied  at  Oxford  for  four  years — 
points  out,  the  tutorial  system  is 
educationally  superior  to  the  sys- 
tem at  an  American  college.  Be- 
cause the  "don"  does  not  make  up 
the  final  exams,  his  relationship 
with  his  student  is  relaxed:  his 
job  is  to  help  the  student  prepare 
for  the  exam,  not  to  teach  him  or 
force  him  to  work. 

The  weekly  tutorials  are  a  di- 
rect meeting  of  the  mind  of  tlie 
"don"  with  the  mind  of  the  stu- 
dent. The  "don"  is  not  hampered 
by  the  concessio;Ts  and  compro- 
mises necessary  to  American  tea- 
chers who  face  a  whole  class  and 
must  deal  with  many  and  various 
minds. 

Collections  and  Exams

tions  at  Christmas  and  Easter  and 
eight  weeks  during  the  summer. 
At  the  end  of  each  term  "collec- 
tions" are  held  to  Indicate  the 
student's  progress. 

Bob  Mirak  '55,  at  Worcester 
College,  describes  the  collection  as 
follows:  "...each  student  is  re- 
quired to  face  a  long  and  some- 
what menacing  row  of  "dons", 
and  is  then  told  by  his  particular 
tutors  of  the  quality  of  his  work." 
If  the  quality  has  been  satisfac- 
tory— which  seems  to  be  the  case 
with  the  Williams  graduates — the 
master  of  the  college  wishes  him 
a  happy  vacation.  If  not,  criticism 
is  often  sharp  and  uncomfortably 
honest. 

The  two-year  course  of  tutorials 
is  preparation  for  a  series  of  "pa- 
pers" (written  examinations)  at 
the  end  of  the  second  year.  Suc- 
cess or  failure  in  getting  a  degree 
depends  on  the  score  of  this  exam. 
All  the  Williams  men  have  found 
the  work  at  Oxford  stimulating 
and  comprehensive.  In  spite  of  the 
academic  freedom,  Rosen  finds 
himself  doing  "more  work  than 
ever". 

Activities 

The  Williams  graduates  have  al- 
so been  taking  an  active  part  in 
many  extra-curricular  activities 
at  Oxford.  The  university  abounds 
in  clubs  of  many  varieties:  from 
ballet  to  stamp  collecting,  from 
jazz  to  Communism.  The  most  im- 


portant are  the  debating  society 
and  the  dramatic  a.ssoclatlon  >of 
which,  incidentally,  AMT  Direc- 
tor Giles  Playfair  was  once  presi- 
dent) . 

Smith  and  an  ex-Wiffenpoof 
have  formed  an  octet  "whicl.  en- 
joys itself  a  great  deal,  altiiough 
its  singing  is  pretty  poor.  English 
beer  is  an  encouraging  factor 
though  .  . ."  Rosen  played  basket- 
ball and  debated.  Bill  Miller  '53 
rowed  in  the  Henley  Regatta. 

Social  Life 

The  social  life  at  Oxford  cen- 
ters on  discussions  'that  range 
over  almost  all  phases  of  social 
life  from  the  state  of  Oxford's 
athletic  fortunes  to  politics."  Ob- 
served Mirak:  "The  English  here 
at  Oxford  have  an  extremely  high 
level  of  intellectual  sophistication, 
coupled  with  a  good  sense  of  ma- 
turity." 

Oxford  is  still  very  much  a 
man's  world.  No  women  are  allow- 
ed in  the  Halls  for  meals  or  In 
the  college's  lounges.  Hours  that 
they  are  allowed  in  the  dorms  are 
strictly  observed. 

Yet  the  social  life  is  by  no  means 
inadequate.  Reports  oarsman  Mil- 
ler: "I  find  that  houseparties  at 
Williams  have  been  surpassed  In 
intensity  at  Oxford  by  functions 
called  'bump  suppers'  which  cele- 
brate rowing  successes  in  the  full 
style  of  banquets  with  gallons  of 
champagne  ..." 


Coombs . . . 


by  four  runs  and  none  out  In  the 
first  inning.  For  eight  innings 
Bobby  shut  out  the  Red  Sox  while 
the  A's  came  from  behind  to  tie  up 
the  score.  Then  in  the  ninth,  he 
gave  up  the  winning  run  to  take 
his  one  and  only  American  League 
loss. 

After  this  year,  Coach  went  to 
the  minors  where  he  worked  as  a 
starter  for  Syracuse,  Birmingham, 
St.  Paul,  Shreveport,  and  finally 
Jersey  City,  In  1940  with  Slueve- 
port  in  the  Texas  league,  Mr. 
Coombs  had  a  sensational  year 
when  he  won  nmeteen  and  lost 
only  nine.  In  1942,  with  the  Jersey 
City  Giants,  he  won  17  and  lost 
only  10  to  win  an  opporiunily 
with  the  New  York  Giants.  In  tills 
year  he  led  the  Internal  ioniil 
League  in  earned  run  averauc  with 
the  phenomenally  low  average  of 
1.99. 

Played  for  Giants 

Bobby  played  for  the  Giants  in 
1943  as  a  relief  pitcher  once  again. 
He   remembers   Mel    Ott   as    the 


great  Giant  coacli  and  Carl  Hub- 
bell,  the  famous  pitcher  in  his 
last  major  league  season.  After  a 
year  with  the  New  York  team  la 
which  he  compiled  a  record  of  no 
wins  and  one  loss,  Coach  went 
Into  the  Navy  where  he  played 
some  bast^ball  in  the  years  until 
the  end  of  the  war.  In  1946,  he 
became  the  Williams  baseball 
coach  and  has  remained  in  th;it 
position  for  ten  years. 

In  lliese  ten  years,  Mr.  Coomli.s 
has  produced  .some  fine  Willlaiii.s 
teams  and  some  outstanding  play- 
ers. George  Ditniar  in  the  yean 
bi'tween  1947  and  1950  won  ten 
out  of  eleven  Little  Three  game; , 
and  the  teams  of  1951-53  dotii- 
inated  Little  Three  play. 

rhe  Coach  is  now  enthusiastic- 
ally working  out  with  his  boys  ii 
the  cage  and  predicts  a  goj  1 
chance  for  .some  improvement  !:i 
this  year's  squad.  Prom  talkUnj

Renowned  Dr.  William  Schuman 
Cites  Lack  of  Audience  Humility 
As  Primary  Composer  Problem 


by  Itavid  A,  (irey 

■riiursduy,  Marcli  15  -  Dr.  WU- 
lliim  H.  Schumiin,  renowned  Amer- 
ican contemporary  composer  nnd 
president  of  the  famous  JuUiard 
School  of  Music,  toniKht  presented 
the  problems  of  belnn  a  modern 
classical  composer  to  an  apprecla- 
tive  Williams  CoUcBe  audience  in 
;he  bloloKV  lecture  hall. 

What's  wroHB  with  the  people 
who  write  tliis  modern  mu.sic? 
.\ccordlnB  to  Dr.  Schuman,  it  is 
,)i'rhaps  more  to  the  point  to  in- 
luire:  what's  wronu  with  the  peo- 
ple who  listen  to  this  modern  mu- 
dc'!  Mr.  Schuman  thinks  that 
iliere  is  nothing  .seriously  wrong 
.kith  contemporary  composers. 
Most  of  them  are  doing  just  what 
heir  predecessors  have  done  -  they 
are  writing  music,  and  writing  it 
,is  well  as  they  know  liow.  They 
uv  writing  music  wlilch  "tries  to 
.ay  something  of  them.selves"  and 
which  is  "not  merely  derivative." 
I'he  composer  can  work  out  liLs 
awn  problems,  but  what  about  his 
.iiidience'?  "Humility"  is  a  neces- 
sary quality  in  the  layman's  ap- 
IJroach  to  a  work  of  art  which  Dr. 
Schuman  finds  lacking  in  the  mo- 
dern concert  audience.  "I  do  wish, 
my  dear,  that  they  would  put  these 
modern  things  at  the  end  of  the 
program  so  I  wouldn't  have  to 
stand  out  here  in  the  draught  .  .  ." 
I'ulitzrr  Prize  Winner 

Dr.  Schuman  ha-s  been  president 
of  the  Juillinrd  School  since  1945. 
In  1943  he  won  the  first  Pulitzer 
Prize  in  modern  music  for  his  se- 
cular cantata  "A  Free  Song".  His 
other  compositions  include  six 
symphonies,  of  which  number 
ilirce  13  probably  tlie  best  known, 
a  ballet,  an  opera,  a  number  of 
choral  works  and  chamber  music. 
His  most  recent  composition.  "Cre- 
dendum",  was  given  its  fir.st  per- 
formance on  March  \3  in  Carnegie 
Hall  by  the  Philadelphia  Orches- 
tra. 

"I  don't  know  much  about  mu!;ic 
but  I  know  what  I  like  and  .  .  ." 
begins  the  sort  of  lay  criticism  a 
piece  of  new  music  is  apt  to  get. 
If  the  critic  were  more  honest 
says  Dr.  Schuman.  he  would  admit 
"I  like  what  I  know."  In  fact  one 
wonders  whether  the  musical  com- 
prehension of  entirely  too  many 
people  goes  any  deeper  than  com- 
fortable familiarity  with  cla.ssi- 
cal  forms  and  sentimental  attach- 
ment with  romantic  melody.  Mu- 
sic involves  four  essential  ele- 
ments: the.se  are  melody,  harmony, 
ihythm  and  form.  It  is  the  un- 
derstanding of  these  four  elements 
that  constitutes  finding  out  what 
is  going  on  in  a  new  piece. 
A  Real  Problem 

And  here  we  have  a  real  pro- 
blem, because  the  modern  com- 
poser clearly  can  not  utilize  the 
elements  of  his  art  in  the  way  that

Thursday,  March  15  -  The 
Adelphic  Union  held  its  annual 
election  meeting  this  evening,  and 
clio.se  Dave  Phillips,  '58,  to  lead 
its  activities  in  the  coming  year. 

An  outstanding  orator,  Phillips 
recently  won  the  Van  Vechten  im- 
promptu speech  contest,  and  has 
represented  the  college  in  debate 
tournaments  at  M.  I.  T.,  Harvard, 
and  New  Briton  this  year.  Serving 
in  the  capacity  of  Debate  Mana- 
Ker,  he  has  devoted  much  time 
and  energy  to  the  revival  of  the 
forensic  group  from  its  virtually 
inactive  status  a  year  ago. 

Carlson  Veep 

In  the  balloting  for  Vice  Pre- 
sident, Junior  Ai-ne  Carlson  was 
the  winner.  As  an  active  partici- 
pant in  many  campus  organiza- 
tions, including  the  editorship  of 
the  RECORD,  he  is  a  welcome  ad- 
dition to  the  Executive  Council  of 
the  Union. 

Sophomore  Jim  Scott  was  elected 
to  the  Treasurer  office,  and  will 
represent  the  group  on  the  Stu- 
dent Activities  Council  in  1956. 

"Youth  Movement" 

Tlie  Secretary  job  was  won  by 
Junior  Henry  Bass,  and  John  Stru- 
thers assumed  the  duties  of  Debate 
Manager.  Struthers,  although  only 
a  freshman,  has  done  more  deba- 
ting than  any  other  person  in  the 
organization  during  the  past  year, 
and  leads  the  "youth  movement" 
within  the  organization. 

Both  retiring  president  Dave

dily apparent  ways  in  which  twen- 
tieth century  music  has  tended 
to  differ  from  that  of  the  nine- 
teenth century  may  be  cited.  With 
regard  to  form,  whereas  an  essen- 
tial principle  of  all  classic  forms 
in  music  is  repetition,  a  modem 
work  will  frequently  be  characte- 
rized by  continuous  development 
from  beginning  to  end.  Modern 
harmony,  while  not  at  all  "dis- 
sonant," is  less  restricted  than 
that  of  the  nineteenth  century, 
and  this  results  in  a  much  greater 
range  of  harmonic  color  in  some 
contemporary  music.  Finally,  rhy-

Thursday.  March  15  -  Speaking 
before  an  interested  assemblage 
of  local  economists  this  evening  in 
Griffin  Hall,  Mr.  Calvin  Campbell, 
vice-president  and  general  counsel 
of  the  Dow  Chemical  Company 
asserted  that  in  view  of  the  strife 
and  conflicts  in  the  world  today, 
the  idea  of  free  trade  must  give 
way  to  high  tariffs.  Mr.  Campbell 
in  a  talk  on  "The  Aspects  of  Tariff 
Policy  and  U.  S.  Economy"  as- 
sumed the  prosecuting  attorney's 
position  of  attacking  unlimited 
trade  by  explaining  the  cold,  solid 
fact  of  today's  extremely  high 
cost  of  labor,  the  valuable  Index 
of  all  cost. 

Introduced  by  Prof.  Kermlt  Gor- 
don of  the  Economics  Department, 
Mr.  Campbell,  who  is  acquainted 
with  both  institutions  of  industry 
being  a  chemical  engineer  as  well 
as  business  administrator  and  law- 
yer, emphasized  the  importance  of 
a  liberal  arts  education.  "In  spite 
of  the  growing  trend  of  automa- 
tion, the  role  of  management  in 
the  capacities  ot  judgement,  ma- 
naging, and  perspective  is  essen- 
tial in  the  proper  functioning  of 
industry"  he  explained.  "If  there 
is  one  particular  gem  of  wisdom 
to  be  retained  tonight  It  .should  be 
the  important  roles  people  play 
in  life  now;  people  who  do  not 
have  ft  technical  background"  he 
summarized. 

Employing  Saran-Wrap,  a  Dow 
product,  and  asset,  depreciation 
and  credit,  debit  figures  of  various 
chemical  companies,  Mr,  Camp- 
bell explained  some  of  the  pro- 
blems facing  Industry.  During  the 
discussion  session  following,  he  an- 
•swered  questions  some  of  which 
concerned  the  possibilities  of  free 
trade,  the  labor  problem  and  the 
death  of  the  dollar  gap  as  one  of 
the  main  arguments  against  free 
trade.

sion by  th(!  special  Collej^e  CJouncil  (Joinniittee  set  u|)  to  choo.se

Doctor  Paul  Scherer  Speaks  in  Chapel; 
Says  Christians  Today  Take  God's  Love 
Lightly,  Rely  Too  Heavily  on  His  Power 


Sunday,  Mar.  18  -  Tonight  the  > 
Reverend  Paul  Scherer.  D.D.,  of  ■ 
Union  Theological  Seminary  in 
New  York,  spoke  in  the  Thompson 
Memorial  Chapel.  Reverend  Scher- 
er emphasized  the  tact  that  mo- 
dern day  Christians  are  taking 
God's  power  too  much  for  granted. 
"We  must  open  our  doors  to  God 
to  let  Him  do  what  He  wishes", 
was  also  pointed  out  in  tonight's 
sermon. 

Reverend  Paul  Scherer  is  Pro- 
fessor of  Homiletics  and  Pastoral 
Theology  at  Union  Theological  Se- 
minary in  New  York.  He  has  been 
a  frequent  preacher  on  the  Na- 
tional Radio  Vespers.  Although  he 
has  a  heavy  schedule  of  work  in 
front  of  him  at  all  times,  he  has 
found  time  to  write  several  books. 
Among  them  is  his  Lyman  Beecher 
Lectures  on  preaching,  entitled 
"We  Have  This  Tieasure".  As  may 
be  readily  noted.  Dr.  Scherer  is 
regarded  as  one  ot  the  outstanding 
preachers  of  our  time. 

Must  Show  Love  for  God 

People  of  today  tend  to  take  the 
attitude  that  they  must  get  on 
God's  better  side  if  they  wish  to 
receive  something.  "We  want  fa- 
vors because  we  want  to  be  treated 
as  persons,  not  as  a  part  of  the 
whole",  stated  Dr  Scherer.  But. 
continued  the  speaker,  we  must 
not  take  the  attitude  that  "Lord, 
if  Thou  wilt.  Thou  canst".  We 
must  choose  between  love  and  let 
power  take  care  ot  Itself.  "God  is 
ever-willing  to  help  us.  but  we 
must  show  Him  our  love.

Interesting  paradox.  Atheists  tell 
Christians  that.  "If  your  God  is  al- 
mighty, He  is  not  good".  But,  the 
preacher  explained,  it  we  become 
despaired  we  must  tackle  this  from 
another  end,  "If  the  Lord  is  good. 
He  is  not  almighty."  Our  thoughts 
must  "move  from  loveless  power 
to  powerful  love".  Dr.  Scherer  ex- 
plained this  by  stating  that  God's 
weakness  lies  in  His  love  for  us. 
Dr.  Ccherer  concluded  his  sermon 
with  the  statement  that  we  must 
follow  God's  way  at  all  times.  "We 
must  commit  our  whole  life  to 
God.  nc  matter  what  may  happen." 


Wednesday,  Mar.  21  -  On  Mon- 
day afternoon  at  its  regular  bi- 
weekly meeting  the  Student  Acti- 
vities Council  selected  Sandy 
McOmber  '57  as  its  President  for 
the  coming  year.  Chosen  to  com- 
plete the  board  were  Dave  Con- 
nolly '57  'Secretary)  and  Ted 
Graham  '57  (Treasurer).  Three 
members  at  large  were  elected  at 
the  same  meeting — Skip  Cole  '57, 
Tony  Furgueson  '57  and  Joe  Lie- 
bowitz  '57. 

Outgoing  President  Chip  Mann 
had  waited  to  hold  elections  until 
all  the  non-athletic  organizations 
on  campus  had  chosen  their  new 
slates.  Adelphic  Union  elections 
last  Thursday  gave  him  the  go- 
ahead. 

Warns  on  Appropriations 
In  his  fairwell  .speech  Mann  em- 
phasized that  the  reserve  fund  ol 
the  SAC  has  been  dwindling  rapid- 
ly in  the  past  couple  of  years,  and 
warned  that  it  the  SAC  wants  to 
keep  any  kind  of  a  nest  egg  Incu- 
bating in  the  Willlamstown  Na- 
tional Bank,  it  will  have  to  keep 
its  feet  firmly  on  the  ground  in 
the  coming  year,  and  make  sure 
that  all  appropriations  go  to  stu- 
dent organizations,  for  the  benefit 
of  students.  Outgoing  Treasurer 
Sy  Becker  backed  up  Mann's 
warning  with  figures.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  ot  tlie  RECORD: 

We  ha\'e  noticed  in  tlie  REC^ORDS  of  tlie  past  a  controversy 
rairintr  o\cr  course  requirements,  but  all  tliree  letters  seemed  to 
lia\e  licdyed  around  the  major  bone  of  contention,  the  science 
ie(|inrenu'nts.  Since  the  freshmen  are  the  ones  most  immediately 
adected  by  this  problem,  we  feel  that  a  freshman  position  should 
be  |)iesented.    ' 

In  the  first  place,  most  freshmen  have  had,  prior  to  their  ar- 
rival at  Williams,  courses  in  every  field.  .-\t  the  aj;e  of  eighteen, 
most  people  have  developed  their  interests  in  one  direction  or 
another.  They  have  chosen  between  science  and  the  hmnanities. 
Yet  those  who  have  chosen  the  luimanities  are  forced  into  a  u.se- 
li'ss  specialization  in  some  science,  a  specialization  both  profitless 
antl  wasteful.  The  nature  of  the  average  1-2  coinse  in  a  science 
revolves  aromid  memorization.  To  the  student  forced  to  take  sci- 
ence, the  course  becomes  a  crushing  bore  and  a  source  of  con- 
stant frustration.  He  adopts  an  attitude  of  resentment,  which  can 
only  be  regarded  as  natmal.  He  finds  himself  forced  to  spend  ri- 
diculous amounts  of  time  in  the  boring  pastime  of  memorizing  to 
get  bv  and  then  to  forget.  Students  wliose  minds  do  not  have  a 
scientific  bent  are  forced  to  neglect  other  subjects  to  keep  from 
failing  something  they  dislike.  Why  pretend?  This  is  the  state  of 
libeial  education  at  Williams. 

The  purpose  of  liberal'  education  is  to  broaden  one's  outlook 
on  life.  Yet  the  Science  1-2  courses  contradict  this  princiiile.  .\n 
enforced  specialization  in  a  science  tends  to  narrow  the  initiate's 
concept  of  science,  especiallv  when  two  years  of  specialization 
are  enforced.  There  are  many  coiuses  available  here  of  the  general 
or  liberal  natiue.  Y'et  the  liberal  education  is  chaimelcd  into  highly 
specialized  fields.  We  feel  that  there  are  other  reqm'rements  e((ual- 
Iv  unpalatable  to  science  students,  but  we  would  answer  that  it 
is  much  more  important  for  the  scientist  to  learn  to  express  him- 
self in  his  native  tongue  or  to  understand  his  own  government,  than 
for  a  student  of  the  arts  to  learn  that  f=Gmlm2/d2. 

In  conclusion,  we  would  like  to  suggest  a  more  generalized 
science  course,  in  a  shortened  period  of  time,  for  those  not  plaiming 
to  major  in  the  sciences.  Perhaps  it  would  be  interesting  to  poll 
the  freshmen  to  see  if  thev  are  getting  anything  out  of  unwanted 
.science  courses.  We  stand  on  the  principle  that  we  prefer  life  as 
a  whole  to  life  in  a  test  tube,  that  we  prefer  seeing  life  through 
our  own  eyes  to  seeing  it  through  a  microscope.

PERSONAL  SLANT 

by  Kcanuij  Ilihhcird 

rhe  artificial  hockey  rink  is  pi'rhaps  the  most  eonci'iitrated 
spot  of  activity  during  the  winter  months,  besides  the  \arsity  and 
Ireslunan  hockey  s(|nads,  the  rink  pro\ides  recreation  h)r  thi'  stud- 
ent body,  the  faculty,  and  tlie  town.  However,  the  hockev  facilities 
at  Williams  are  definitely  inade(|uati'. 

During  this  past  hockey  sea.soa  adverse  weather  eonilitions 
caused  two  .sehedided  contests  to  be  postponed  and  two  eaneelU'd 
entirely,  liecause  the  rink  was  covereil  with  snow  or  rain,  the 
.\hnnni  ha\c  bi'cn  unable  to  see  a  hockey  game  on  tlieir  houu'com- 
mg  ior  tlie  past  three  years.  In  the  hoeki'y  world  u'illiams  is  taking 
a  terrible  bi'ating  because  she  lacles  a  covereil  lioelcey  rink. 

E.xcept  lor  .Vmherst  and  .\l.  1.  T.,  t'very  collegi'  on  the  \arsity's 
se.iedule  lias  an  enclosed  rink.  Thus  the  opposition  can  start  skat- 
ing a  full  four  week  belori'  the  Williams  piicksieis.  This  year  the 
varsity  opened  its  sea.son  against  Providence;  Willi  only  ten  tiays  of 
practice  they  naturally  reeei\cd  a  7-1  drubbing.  During  the  last 
vvet'Ks  of  tlu!  season  the  warm  weather  often  halts  daily  practiei' 
.liitil  late  ill  the  afternoon. 

I'lnancially  speaking,  a  covered  rink  is  a  necessity  as  it  will 
cut  nianitenance  costs  in  half.  .Mr.  Koehl,  the  college  trea.surer, 
estimated  that  it  costs  approximately  $10,000  a  year  to  operate 
the  rink.  With  a  cover,  tlie  maintenance  crew  could  be  cut  in  half 
as  thert!  would  bo  no  snow  or  rain  problems  to  cope  with.  The 
costly  compressors  would  only  have  to  be  run  half  as  much;  the 
co\'er  would  trap  the  cold  air  and  lu'iict^  act  as  a  refrigerator  on 
warm  days.  Once  the  tlesired  temperature  was  reached  the  com- 
pressor coiikl  be  shut  off.  The  rink  would  pay  for  itself  witliin 
lCii  to  thirteen  years.  Each  year  that  the  rink  remains  uncovered, 
till'  college  loses  more  money. 

.\ot  oiilv  would  a  covered  rink  draw  bigger  crowds,  but  the 
riiik  could  be  operated  on  a  business  basis,  Even  now  .some  entliu- 
siasts  come  from  the  Pittsfiekl  and  Ntjrth  Adams  area  for  the  pub- 
lic skating  twice  a  we<'k.  .\  eo\i'rcd  riiik  would  attract  many  more 
skaters  with  the  result  of  a  higher  income.  Hockey  could  ])erhaps 
become  one  of  the  eolk'ge's  few  self  supporting  sports. 

Whenever  sullieient  fuiuls  are  a\ailable,  the  present  idea  is 
to  tashion  the  cover  after  that  of  West  Point.  There  would  be  a 
roof  of  steel  coiistrnction  covering  the  rink  and  stands.  The  sides 
would  be  cansas  Haps  which  could  be  rolled  ii])  or  down  as  tlu' 
weather  demanded.  In  the  distant  liitiire,  permanent  sides  could 
be  added,  (.'olbvs  newlv  constrncteil  covered  rink  cost  approxi- 
niatelv  $lfi(),()()().  Judging  bv  this  figure  ami  the  cost  of  our  rink, 
the  di'sirecl  roof  would  cost  between  .$4,5.000  and  ■$.5,5,000.  It  could 
be  ci  ustrneted  within  three  or  four  months. 

W  itli  a  eo\eied  rink  ice  could  be  maintained  two  or  three 
wei'ks  longer  than  at  present.  The  intranuiral  hockev  program 
coultl  be  <'xtended.  gi\  ing  evi'r\-oiie  more  pleasure.  With  the  pres- 
ent facilities,  tiii\'  smoke  or  soot  particles  Ironi  the  nearb\'  industries 
litter  the  ice.  I'his  soot  c;in  dull  skates  within  a  lew  minutes,  creat- 
ing slower,  poorer  ice  conditions.  Protected  wc  would  allortl  bet- 
ter ice  ami  eonse(|ueiitly  a  better  brand  ol  liocke\'. 

The  rink  Is  open  to  the  ))iil)lic  twice  a  week  lor  general  skat- 
ing. The  Williainstown  Boosters  Club  has  organized  a  hockey 
team  for  the  local  teen-age  boys.  Uiidi'r  the  direction  of  varsity 
coach  Bill  McClormiek,  these  bovs  learii  the  hmdameiitals  ol  the 
sport  and  pla\'  similar  groups  from  iieighboring  towns.  In  the 
wortls  of  .\lr.  Peter  Welanetz,  Superintendent  ol  Buildings  and 
Grounds,  such  teams  "serve  as  breeding  grounds  tor  future  hockev 
players". 

Because  Amherst  is  also  unfortunate  in  not  pos.sessing  a  cov- 
ered rink,  the  traditional  Williams-.\mherst  contest  was  |)ostponed 
for  over  four  hours.  Williams  took  the  initiati\i'  and  got  an  arti- 
ficial rink  first.  Will  she  be  first  to  add  a  cover,  or  will  she  wait 
until  .\mheist  takes  the  first  step,  as  iisnar:'

ADVENTURES  IN  SOCIAL  SCIENCE:  NO.  J 

Today,  ranging  again  into  the  fascinating  world  of  socia; 
."icionce,  let  u.s  take  up  the  subject  of  anthropology  —  the  .study 
of  man  and  his  origins. 

The  origin  of  man  was  indeed  a  vexing  question  until  tin- 
Frenchman,  Jean-Louis  Sigafoos,  discovered  the  skull  and  shin- 
bone  of  Pithecanthropus  Erectus  in  .Java  in  1S91.  I  What  Siga- 
foos was  doing  in  Java  is,  incidentally,  quite  an  odd  little  story. 
Sigafoos  was  a  Parisian  born  and  bred.  By  day  one  could  always 
fiiul  him  at  a  boulevard  cafe,  sipping  Biere  de  Racine  and  ogling 
the  girls;  each  night  he  went  to  a  fashionable  casino  whore  he 
gambled  heavily  at  roulette  and  jacks;  in  between  times  lie 
worked  on  his  stamp  collection. 


. .  -lite  ^tidy  c/n?m  ^ti^hJiOnmi. . . 


(Well  air,  one  summer  Sigafoos  lost  his  entire  fortune  gam- 
bling at  the  casino,  and  he  was  seriously  contemplating  suicide 
when  a  ray  of  hope  appeared  in  an  unexpected  quarter.  It  seems 
that  Sigafoos,  through  the  international  stamp  collectors  jour- 
nal, had  long  been  in  correspondence  with  a  girl  in  Java,  s 
mission-educated  savage  named  Lotus  Petal  McGinnis,  herself 
an  enthusiastic  stamp  collector.  The  nature  of  their  correspond- 
ence, though  friendly,  had  been  entirely  philatelic.  Now,  sud- 
denly, a  new  kind  of  letter  came  from  Lotus  Petal.  She  declared 
that  although  she  had  never  laid  eyes  on  Sigafoos,  she  loved 
him  and  wanted  to  marry  him.  She  said  she  was  eigfiteen  years 
old,  beautiful,  and  her  father,  the  richest  man  in  his  tribe,  would 
give  half  his  fortune  to  the  hu.sband  of  her  choice.  Sigafoos, 
in  his  reduced  circumstances,  had  no  alternative;  he  sold  his 
last  few  belongings  and  booked  passage  for  Java. 

(The  first  sight  of  his  prospective  bride  failed  to  delight 
Sigafoos.  She  was,  as  she  said,  beautiful  -  but  only  by  local 
standards.  Sigafoos  had  serious  doubts  that  her  bright  red 
pointed  teeth  and  the  chicken  bones  hanging  from  her  ear  lobes 
would  be  considered  chic  along  the  Champs  Elysees. 

(But  sobering  as  was  the  sight  of  Lotus  Petal,  Sigafoos  had 
an  even  greater  disappointment  coming  when  he  met  her  father. 
The  old  gentleman  was,  as  Lotus  Petal  had  represented,  the 
richest  man  in  his  tribe,  but,  unfortunately,  the  medium  of  ex- 
change in  his  tribe  was  prune  pits. 

(Sigafoos  took  one  look  at  the  mound  of  prune  pits  which 
was  his  dowry,  gnashed  his  teeth,  and  stomped  off  into  the 
jungle,  swearing  vilely  and  kicking  at  sticks  and  stones  and 
whatever  else  lay  in  his  path.  Stomping  thus,  swearing  thus, 
kicking  thus,  Sigafoos  kicked  over  a  heap  of  old  bones  which  - 
what  do  you  know !  -  turned  out  to  be  the  skull  and  shin  of 
Pithecanthropus  Erectus.) 

But  I  digress  . . .  From  the  brutish  Pithecanthropus,  man 
evolved  slowly  upward,  growing  more  intelligent  and  resource- 
ful. By  the  Middle  Paleolithic  period  man  had  invented  the 
leash,  which  was  a  remarkable  technical  achievement,  but 
frankly  not  terribly  useful  until  the  Mesolithic  period  when  man 
invented  the  dog. 

In  the  Neolithic  period  came  far  and  away  the  most  important 
development  in  the  history  of  mankind  -  the  discovery  of  agri- 
culture. Why  is  this  so  important,  you  ask'/  Because,  good 
friends,  without  agriculture  there  would  be  no  tobacco,  and 
without  tobacco  there  would  be  mi  Philip  Morris,  and  without 
Philip  Morris  you  would  be  without  the  gentlest,  mildest,  sun- 
niest, plca.santest,  happiest  smoke  that  money  can  buy,  and  1 
would  be  without  a  job. 

That's  why.  ©„„  sM,i».n.  m.

Eph  Track  Team 
To  Spend  Spring 
On  Southern  Trip 

Smith,  Hecker,  Smythe 
Bolster  1956  Squad; 
Sophs  To  Add  Depth 


By  Dick  DavU 

Wednesday,  Mar.  21  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  tracli  team  will  jnalse 
its  second  annual  spring  trip  to 
the  south  during  the  Spring  Re- 
cess. Coach  Tony  Planslcy  i.s  de- 
pending heavily  on  dash  man  and 
captain-elect  Andy  Smith.  Now  a 
Junior,  Smith  was  a  .sensation  in 
his  fre.shman  year,  going  unbeaten 
and  registering  a  time  of  9.9  In  the 
100.  As  a  sophomore,  he  consis- 
tently racked  up  points  in  the  100 
and  220  yard  dashes,  and  has  been 
a  mainstay  of  the  Winter  traclc 
mile  relay  team. 

Ports  Leading  Two-Miler 

Among  the  other  veterans, 
"Hots"  Ports  can  be  counted  on 
for  victories  in  the  two-mile  run, 
and  Bob  Rayn-sford  should  do  well 
in  the  880  and  440.  Jim  Hecicer  is 
expected  to  show  improvement  in 
the  mile,  and  Jeff  Smythe,  Injured 
a  good  part  of  last  season,  will 
team  with  Jay  Wilson  in  the  hur- 
dles. 

The  Purple  will  require  a  lot  of 
rebuilding  in  the  field  events.  Both 
Pete  Riley  and  Diclc  Repp  showed 
promise  in  the  pole-vault  last  year. 
Steve  Oilman  and  John  Winnaclcer 
have  set  the  early  pace  in  the  jave- 
lin and  discus,  respectively. 

Last  year's  freshman  team, 
though  laclcing  in  deptli,  will  help 
fill  many  gaps.  Fred  Driscoll  star- 
red in  the  hurdles  and  often  won 
both  the  high  jump  and  broad 
Jump  events.  John  Schimmel  took 
first  regularly  in  the  100  and  220. 
Bill  Fox,  anchor  man  on  the  winter 
track  team,  will  be  better  in  his 
specialties,  the  mile  and  the  880, 
as  will  Dick  Clokey. 


What  young  people  are  doing  at  General  Electric 


Young  engineer 
works  on  new  ways 

to  remove  heat 
from  atomic  reactors 

An  atomic  reartor  riinninp;  at  full  cfTiciency 
creates  a  tremendous  amount  of  heat  in  its 
rorr.  iJy  removinp  this  heat  and  putting  it  to 
work  hdilinfi  water  to  make  steam,  atom- 
made  elerlricity  is  produced. 

One  of  the  men  responsible  for  designing 
new.  more  efTicient  ways  to  remove  heat  from 
atomic  reactors  is  29-year-old  Doctor  Salo- 
mon Levy  —  Design  Analysis  supervisor  in 
the  Atomic  Power  Ltiuipinent  Department's 
Reactor  Engineering  Unit. 

Levy's  Work  Interesting,  Vital 
To  study  this  problem  of  heal  transfer, 
G.E,  recently  constructed  a  heat-transfer  sys- 
tem. By  electrically  sinuilating  the  iieat  pro- 
duced in  a  reactor,  it  is  possible  to  determine 
the  maximum  rate  at  whieli  heat  can  be  re- 
moved from  a  leaetor  to  make  steam. 

Dr.  Levy  conceived  the  idea  of  building 
this  complex  system,  designed  it  and  super- 
vised its  construction.  At  present.  Levy 
works  Willi  this  system  to  study  new  prob- 
lems of  heat  transfer  and  fluid  flow  encoun- 
tered in  atomic  power  jilanls. 

25,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 
When  Salomon  Levy  came  to  General 
Electric  in  19.5,'?,  he  already  knew  the  kind 
of  work  he  wanted  to  do.  Like  each  of  our 
25,000  college-graduate  employees,  he  was 
given  his  chance  to  grow  and  realize  his  full 
potential.  For  General  Electric  has  long  be- 
lieved this:  Whenever  fresh  young  minds  are 
given  the  freedom  to  make  i)rogress,  every- 
body benefits -the  individual,  the  company, 
and  the  country.

Thursday,  Mar,  15  -  Peter  El- 
bow and  Hugh  Clark  were  elected 
co-captains  of  the  1967  Williams 
Ski  team  at  a  banquet  held  at  the 
1896  House  tonight.  Along  with 
the  awarding  of  letters,  Robert 
Beebe  '57,  was  named  as  next 
year's  team  manager  while  Jeff 
Fisher  '59,  was  cho.sen  Pi-eshman 
captain  for  this  past  season. 

Elbow,  a  native  of  Radbui-n,  N.J., 
was  on  the  varsity  soccer  squad 
this  fall  and  was  also  named  to 
Phi  Beta  Kappa.  Hailing  from  Pot- 
tersville,  N.J.,  Clark  is  a  member 
of  the  woe  and  Student  Vestry. 
Under  the  continued  coaching  of 
Ralph  Townsend  next  year,  the 
team  expects  to  improve  on  this 
season's  record. 


Wednesday,  IWar.  21  -  Leaving 
the  .snow  and  cold  of  Williams- 
town,  18  members  of  the  varsity 
baseball  team,  captained  by  John 
Hatch  and  coached  by  the  veteran 
Bobby  Coombs,  will  leave  the  cam- 
pus this  Saturday  and  head  for 
the  sunny  south  and  a  pre-.season 
schedule  of  seven  practice  college 
games,  including  Elon,  Pfeiffer, 
Guilford,  Farleigh-Dickenson  and 
Upsala. 

Of  the  six  pitchers  making  the 
trip,  only  three  saw  a  good  amount 
of  work  for  the  last  year's  7-9 
team.  Southpaw  Tom  Yankus 
should  repeat  as  Coombs'  top 
thrower  with  junior  Don  McLean 
also  being  counted  on.  Dick  Flood 
also  pitched  in  1955  although 
mostly  in  a  relief  role.  Senior  Walt 
O'Hearn  and  sophomore  Crawford 
Blagdon  round  out  the  staff. 
George  Welles,  second  string  back- 
stop last  season,  and  Marv  Wein- 
stein,  outstanding  for  the  1955 
freshmen,  will  contend  for  the 
starting  catching  berth. 

Clarke  Sperry  and  Dick  Marr 
both  return  and  either  will  give 
the  Ephs  strength  at  first  base. 
Rick  Power,  frosh  co-captain  in 
1955,  and  junior  Dick  Sheehan  will 
fight  it  out  for  second  base.  Cap- 
tain Hatch  will  start  at  shortstop 
as  will  junior  Dick  Fearon  at  third. 
In  the  outfield  Coombs  will  try 
Bob  Iverson,  speedy  sliortstop  and 
co-captain  of  the  freshmen  last 
year,  in  left  and  Dick  Ennis,  lead- 
ing 1955  varsity  hitter  with  .548, 
in  center.  Whitey  Kaufman  and 
Matt  Donner,  strong  sophomore 
prospects,  will  be  used  in  right. 


Golfers  To  Practice

Captain  Carey  To  Lead 
Squad  at  N.  C.  Links 


Wednesday,  Mar.  21  -  Al- 
though the  present  Williams- 
town  weather  would  lead  one  to 
think  otherwise,  the  first  day 
of  spring  is  almost  here.  With 
the  arrival  of  the  spring  season. 
Captain  Randy  Carey  and  a 
small  nucleus  of  the  golf  team 
are  preparing  to  head  south 
Saturday  for  the  golf  links  at 
Pinehurst,  N.C. 

The  squad,  under  the  coach- 
ing of  Dick  Baxter,  making  the

and  Jack  Chapman,  Pete 
French,  John  Boyd,  Rob  Foster, 
and  freshman  Bill  Tuach,  Hans

First  Game  with  Tufts 


By  Barry  Holt 

Wednesday,  Mar.  21  -  Under 
the  leadership  of  co-captains  Jim 
Edgar  and  Bob  Spaeth,  the  1956 
Williams  Lacrosse  squad  has  been 
working  out  during  the  past  two 
weeks  in  preparation  for  their 
opening  game  against  Tufts  on 
April  14  at  Medford. 

Contrary  to  the  practice  of  past 
seasons,  the  Stickmen  will  not 
undertake  a  vacation  tour  this 
year.  Games  with  University  of 
Maryland  and  University  of  Balti- 
more had  been  planned  but  Coach 
Jim  Ostendarp  and  the  two  cap- 
tains decided  to  cancel  these  con- 
tests. As  Coach  Ostendarp  put  it: 
"We  have  neither  the  material  nor 
the  facilities  to  compete  with  these 
powers." 

Practice  in  the  Gym 

Because  of  the  snow-covered 
fields,  the  Eph  Lacrosse  workouts 
have  been  limited  to  the  Lasell 
Gymnasium.  The  parking  lot  lo- 
cated by  the  Golf  course  was  clear- 
ed last  week  and  the  cages  will 
be  set  up  for  use  until  vacation. 
Along  with  Edgar  and  Spaeth,  the 
men  back  from  last  year's  starting 
team  are :  Tony  Furgueson,  Charles 
Foehl,  Buster  Smith,  Joe  Perrott, 
and  Hilary  Gans.

YOU'RE  ON  THE  RIGHT  TRACK  when  you  light  up  a  Lucky, 
because  Luckies  taste  better.  Only  fine  tobacco— naturally 
good-tasting  tobacco  that's  TOASTED  to  taste  better— can 
give  you  taste  like  this.  All  of  which  goes  to  explain  the 
Droodle  above:  Light-up  time  in  caboose,  as  seen  bj  halted 
motorist.  Switch  to  Luckies  yourself.  You'll  say  they're  the 
best-tasting  cigarette  you  ever  smoked.

Both  the  lour  and  the  method

heads  with  equal  dexterity  .  .  .nie 
plot  is  only  a  device  In  this  come- 
dy. Mr.  Anouilh  is  more  interested 
in  playing  tricks  on  it— tricks  of 
illu.sion  and  delusion,  topsey-tur- 
vey  contrasts,  logic  turned  inside 
out,  In  addition  chaiactcristlc 
slRhs  over  the  emptiness  of  life 
in  high  .society,  and  his  wlstful- 
ncss  over  the  delights  of  pure 
love".  The  author,  Anouilh,  also 
wrote  "The  Lark",  in  which  Julie 
Harris  Is  cunently  starring  on 
Bioadway. 

The  original  .score  will  be  used 
but  it  will  be  adapted  by  Walter 
L.  Nollner,  a.>-slstant  professor  of

for  background  music  when  the 
play  was  presented  In  1955  at  the 
Cherry  Lane  Theatre  in  Green- 
wich Village.  Mr.  Nollner  has 
adapted  Elmer  Gordon's  score  by 
the  addition  of  percussion  Instru- 
menUs.  The  orchestia  will  consist 
of  three  students:  Ronald  Emery, 
I,arry  Allen  and  Borell  Kiischen. 

This  French  presentation  has 
been  conceived  as  an  exerci.se  In

Prof.  Schuman  to  Travel  in  Soviet  Russia 
During  May  to  Gain  Material  For  Book 

Tuesday,  April  3  -  The  "Iron  Curtain"  is  being  lifted  and  the 
efforts  of  the  new  rulers  of  linssia  to  achii've  ayreement  with  Amer- 
ica are  seriously  motivated,  aceordiny  lo  l'"re<l<'riek  I..  Sehuman. 
Woodrow  Wilson  Professor  of  (;o\'enimenl  at  Williams  College. 
Dr.  Sehnman  bases  his  iiiferenee  on  the  assmanee  that  he  will  be 
granted  a  Soviet  \  isa  to  visit  Hnssia  next  month  in  spite  of  the  faet 
that  his  book  "The  tJommonwealth  of  Man "  was  strongly  attacked 
in  a  half-page  review  in  Pra\cla  in  195'3. 

Currently  on  a  half-year  Sabbatical  leave,  Dr,  Schuman  has 
'signed  a  eontraet  with  Kno|)f.  Inc.,  for  a  new  book  tentatively  en- 
titled "Russia  Since  1917:  forty  Years  ol  Soviet  Polities. "  In  order 
to  gather  new  materials  and  u])-t()-dat<'  impressions  on  Hnssia. 
lie  is  planning  to  spend  the  month  of  Ma\  in  the  Soviet  I'nion. 
traveling  extensively  tinough  European  linssia  with  additional 
time  in  Moscow.  lie  hopes  to  gain  new  insights  into  Soviet  domes- 
tic and  foreign  policies  through  ac(|uisition  of  recent  publications 
and  interviews  with  public  officials  and  scholars. 

Third  Visit  to  Sotirt 

Dr,  Schuman  first  visited  the  Soviet  Union  in  1928.  and  again 
in  19.33.  This,  his  second  book  exclusi\elv  on  Pussia.  will  be  a 
scqual  to  his  earlier  w(nk  "Soviet  Polities  At  Home  and  Abroad  . 
issued  by  Knopf  in  1946.  His  well  known  college  textbook.  'In- 
ternational Politics",  will  be  translated  into  Hindu  next  vear. 

Until  last  week.  Dr.  Schuman  was  uncertain  of  admission 
to  Russia  because  the  19,53  Pra\da  Review  of  his  book  denounced 
liim  as  "an  active  ideologist  of  American  Imperialism"  who  "at- 
tempts to  justify  the  action  of  United  States  aggressive  iwwer. 
Professor  Schuman  explained  today,  "If  such  an  'enemv  ot  the 
people'  (i.e.  Stalinist  term  f<n-  all  anti-Communists)  is  now  ])v\- 
mitted  to  travel  and  study  in  the  U.  S.  S.  R..  this  can  onlv  mean  that 
the  effort.-,  of  lJ,e  new  rulers  of  Russia  to  achie\c  a  rimimnhrmrnl 
or  modus  vivcndi  with  America  are  seriously  motivated  ano  do  not 
reiiresent  a  mere  tactical  maneuver  or  an  exercise  in  hvpocracy. 

Upon  his  return  to  the  U.  S.  in  [line,  Professor  Sehnman  will 
te«ch  at  his  alma  mater,  the  University  of  Chicago  during  the 
summer  (luarter  while  concluding  the  writing  of  the  pro|eete(l 
volume.  He  will  resume  teaching  at  Williams  in  September. 


Wednesday,  Apr.  11  -  Two  mem- 
bers of  the  Williams  College  fac- 
ulty will  have  their  recently 
written  books  relea.sed  to  the  pub- 
lic this  month.  Professor  Frederick 
Rudolph  of  the  History  depart- 
ment will  have  his  book  "Mark 
Hopkins  and  the  Log"  released  on 
Apiil  25  by  the  Yale  University 
Press.  A  novel,  "Lazarus  In  Vi- 
enna," by  Alfred  Slote  of  the 
Eiigli.sh  department  will  make  Its 
debut  April  23  being  published  by 
McGraw-Hill. 

Containing  both  a  biography  of 
Mark  Hopkins  during  his  presi- 
dency at  Williams  and  a  history 
of  American  higher  education  of 
the  same  period  of  the  nineteenth 
century,  Professor  Rudolph's  book 
i.i  the  fii'sit  history  of  Williams 
College  to  be  Lssued  since  1917. 
111?  book  also  Includes  a  discus- 
s  o:i  of  the  curriculum,  finances, 
r?;igiv.n.  fra.ernitles.  and  other 
aspec.s  of  colLge  life  in  general 
and   \;lll.ams  ai  particular. 

Mr.  Slote  :.blained  the  idea  for 
his  novel  w.ii'.e  visiting  Vienna  in 
1950-19j1.  Centering  aiound  a 
story  of  love  and  political  In- 
trigue, the  book  involves  a  young 
army  Lieutenant  on  an  exchange 
program  to  send  Austrian  busi- 
ness and  professional  men  to 
America  to  study  democracy.  Tlie 
book  is  the  second  by  the  author, 
the  first  being  "Denham  Proper". 

Professor  Rudolph  graduated 
from  Williams  In  1942.  Mr.  Slote 
na.s  degrees  from  both  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Grenoble  in  France. 
"Mark  Hopkins  and  the  Log  "  will 
go  on  sale  at  the  price  of  $4.75. 
while  $3.75  will  purchase  a  copy 
of  "Lazarus  in  Vienna".

bia. Hong  Kong,  and  India. 
Greene   to   Moderate 

Professor  Frederick  Greene  of 
the  Political  Science  Department 
will  serve  in  the  capacity  of  mo- 
derator. Greene  Is  considered  to 
be  one  of  the  foremost  authorities 
on  U.S.  foreign  policy. 

Each  of  the  panel  members  will 
present  an  opening  statement  de- 
signed to  Illustrate  the  effects 
which  foreign  policy  decisions  In 
Washington  have  upon  their  re- 
spective homelands.  Klaus  Klatte, 
of  Germany,  will  open  the  dis- 
cussion, followed  in  order  by  Ber- 
nard Lanvln  '57,  France:  Abdul

marks. Professor  Greene  will  pose 
some  questions  based  on  current

give  the  audience  some  knowledge 
of  the  multiplicity  of  demands 
which  are  made  on  U.S.  foreign 
policy,  and  also  a  better  under- 
standing of  what  lies  behind  the 
criticisms  ot  our  policy  In  today's 
world.

Inj  mi  Ediiiir 
Sunday,  .April  8  •   In  a  hectic  but  rewarding  thiee-dav  .series 
ol   interviews  with   top  VVashington   officials  during  spring   \aca- 
tioii,  13  Williams  seniors  heard  first-hand  accounts  of  go\enmient 
policies, 

"Everybody,"  summarized    Rod   Ward,   "was   impressed." 
Ivseorted    bv    Political    Science    Instructor    Robert    Caudine, 
the  Williams  ineu  watched  the  Supreme  Court  haiul  down  an  im- 
portant decision  and  talked  with  such  men  as  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasmv,  the  chief  of  the  New  York  Times  Washington   Rureaii. 

'■ Oand  the  Repre,sentative  from  Wil- 

liamstown. 

Not  Cook's  Tour 
Initiated  in  1952,  this  trip  to 
the  nation's  Capitol  is,  according 
lo  Student  Aid  Director  Henry 
N.  Flynt,  "by  no  means  a  Cook's 
tour — more  of  an  interdepart- 
mental .seminar  than  a  trip.  Its 
purpose  is  to  raise  questions  of 
policy  lather  than  to  secure  in- 
formation". 

Selected  from  seniors  who  are 
majoring  in  American  HLstory  and 
Literature.  Economics.  History, 
Pohtlcal  Economy,  or  Political 
Science,  the  Williams  men  have 
all  expen.ses  paid  by  the  George 
J.  Mead  Fund. 

Segregation  and  Aid 
The  subjects  of  this  spring's 
trip  were  the  problems  of  segre- 
gation and  foreign  aid.  During  the 
interviews,  the  officials  present- 
ed interesting  and  often  contra- 
dictory views  on  both  topics. 

Senator  Strom  Thurmond  of 
South  Carolina  felt  that  the  1954 
segregation  decision  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  was  influenced  hv 
the  testimony  of  psychologists  and 
sociologists  connected  with  Com- 
munist-front organizations. 

Taking  a  more  moderate  stand 
on  the  subject.  Representative 
Diggs,  a  Negro  from  Michigan, 
felt  that  Integration  in  southern 
schools  can  be  done  slowly  as  long 
as  both  sides  act  in  good  laith 
toward  the  Supreme  Court  Deci- 
sion. 

Representative  John  Hesselton. 
whose  constituency  includes  Wil- 
liamstown.  said  that  many  Sena- 
tors who  signed  the  Southern 
Manifesto  did  it  reluctantly  for 
the  sake  of  political  expediency. 

Although  many  of  the  Williams 
visitors  felt  that  the  interviews 
included  too  many  technicalities 
of  economics.  Ward  said  that  they 
found  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
George  Humphrey  "quite  Impres- 
sive". Disagreeing  with  the  opini- 
ons of  several  members  of  the 
Williams  Economics  Department. 
Humphrey  felt  that  the  national 
debt  is  bad  for  the  country's  ec- 
onomy.

until  Congress  adjoui'ns.  Then,  if 

possible,   he   might   work   for   two

—  Alfred  North  VVhiteliead  in  "Thi'  Aims  of  Ediiciitioii" 

Till'  .si-ioiicf  rc-(uiiioineiit  at  William.'i  (.'ollc'i^c  is  almost  p.M- 
pctiially  iukUt  attack.  .Many  of  the  criticisms  are  merelv  rational- 
izations of  those  who  are  nnwillinj;  to  submit  to  the  rijjoroiis  ap- 
plication that  science  demands.  \'et  the  Hecord  helicM's  that  there 
is  a  nnclens  of  valiilitv  in  the  criticisms  of  the  existing  science  re- 
(|iilieinent.  Perhaps  the  most  important  defect  is  that  it  is  possible 
for  a  student  to  irraihiate  without  ohtaininn  an  appreciation  of  the 
scientific  method  anil  an  iiiiderstandinjr  of  the  impact  of  tlie  oxer- 
all  scientific  achievement  of  the  present  time.  Moreover,  the  re- 
(|iiirement  often  leaves  students  with  an  irrational  but  lastiiii;  dis- 
taste lor  science. 

To  abolish  the  science  refjnirement  would  be  follv.  At  the 
same  time,  to  leave  it  as  it  is  now  constituted  prevents  the  full 
realization  of  its  purposes. 

.\n  educated  man  shoukl  have  an  understanding;  and  a]i]>re- 
ciation  of  all  areas  of  human  knowledi;e,  aloni;  with  liiiinilitv  to- 
wards thein.  If  one  is  to  be  competent  in  his  elected  intellectual 
field,  one  must  understand  the  impact  of  other  fields  liicludini; 
the  scientific  ones  on  his  field.  In  an  at^e  In  which  science  has 
transformed  our  world,  this  re(|nirement  is  of  special  siijiiificancc. 
E(|nally  iiuportant  is  the  fact  that  one  can  tierive  i^reat  .satisfac- 
tion from  ail  aesthetical  appreciation  of  these  achievements.  Kin- 
allv  it  is  necessary  for  a  man  to  have  humilitv  ami  reverence  to- 
wards fields  other  than  his  own. 

Unfortunately,  the  present  science  rei|uireinent  does  not  ful- 
fill the.se  jjiirposes  as  ade(|iiately  as  is  possible.  ,\ltOf^cther  too 
often  a  non-science  major  carries  with  him  from  his  science  courses 
only  a  vague  memory  of  disorganized  data.  Bather  than  a  general 
view  of  science,  the  student  often  receives  only  an  introduction 
to  the  current  status  of  one  or  two  sciences. 

What  is  needed  is  an  historical  survey  of  science  as  a  whole 
with  emphasis  on  the  .scientific  method.  An  adequate  History  and 
Method  of  Science  course  would  perhaps  take  two  years.  However, 
the  value  of  such  a  course  in  comi^arison  witl;  the  present  science 
re((uirement  would  be  considerable  to  the  non-science  majors. 

Science  at  Vassar 

\  coinmittce  consisting  of  students  and  members  of  the  fac- 
ulty at  Vassar  College  has  recently  probed  into  the  relation  of  the 
science  ie(|uirement  to  the  rest  of  a  liberal  arts  program.  ,\gitation 
as  to  the  value  of  the  science  re(|nirement  on  the  part  of  the  stud- 
ent body  prompted  the  investigation.  The  cominittee  felt  that 
science  is  a  yeiv  large  part  of  any  liberal  arts  education  and  that 
.scientific  knowledge  is  beneficial  to  the  individual  in  the  society 
of  today. 

.\  gap  existing  between  science  courses  and  the  rest  of  the 
courses  taken  by  the  students  is  often  ex|)ressed  in  the  desire  to 
ha\e  the  instructor  explain  the  purpose  of  the  course.  Some  science 
faculty  inembers  felt  that  they  should  not  have  to  justify  the 
course  and  that  it  was  u\)  to  the  student  to  be  mature  enough  to  go 
to  the  instructor  and  ask  any  questions  or  discuss  any  jiroblems  that 
bothered  him. 

Included  in  the  re|)ort  by  the  student  inembers  of  the  com- 
mittee was  a  ref|nest  for  a  course  concerned  mainly  with  an  his- 
torical ajiproach  to  science  which  students  felt  would  make  the 
science  courses  seein  less  isolated  in  relation  to  their  other  sub- 
jects. Opponents  of  this  plan  argued  that  before  a  course  such  as 
the  one  proposed  is  possible,  the  student  needs  some  background 
in  science.

Eph  Skiers  Find  Overabundance 
Of  Snowbunnies  Mixed  Blessing 
On  Aspen's  Tremendous  Slopes 

bij  Joe  /V//)fig/i( 

Despite  the  (nulcr-the-clock-at-the-|}iltmoi<'-es(|ne  lures  of 
i'ort  Lauderdale  and  liennnda  (ol  College  \\'eek  hune),  a  good 
percculage  of  Williams  men  spi'u'.  their  spring  \acation  skiing.  .\s 
■isuai,  Siowe  and  Tremblant  took  honors  as  the  jiiost  popular,  liils 
year,  tweb'c  Kphs  -  Duke  Uergendahl  '58,  '^ogi'  l!eir\  '57,  llen- 
.y  c^ole  '59,  Tom  Connolly  '5.S,  .\rt  Hyde  '.5(1,  Ujck  (ialhni  '57,  |im 
.  aiierson  '.57,  John  boss  5.S,  Ted  'failinadge  .5,i,  John  Taylor  5(j, 
I'l.il  Wilcox  '5iS,  and  Joe  .Albright  '5S  -  were  ol  a  sportier  cast  and 
,ii,;ed  up  in  .'Vspen,  Colorado.  Though  Aspen  is  some  200(1  miles 
i..rtiier  than  an>'  of  the  eastern  slopes,  all  twi'be  h'lt  thai  .Vspen's 
irriiic  skiing  made  all  20(10  jiiiles  worth  while. 

The  town  of  .Aspen  is  2.50  miles  west  of  l)en\fi  ami  about 
idlM  feet  al)0\e  sea  level.  The\  get  about  ten  feet  of  snow  during 
.in  a\eragi'  wintiM-  ami  can  expivt  new  powder  snow  to  fall  at 
least  once  a  wi'ek  wi'll  into  .Vpril.  bi  the  spring,  the  days  of  pow- 
,ler-snow  and  the  warm,  sniiii)-  corn-snow  days  are  about  ei|nally 
di\ided. 

Lute  SAiiiig 

Unlike  the  eastern  resorts,  .Aspen  does  not  have  to  worry  too 
much  that  a  sudden  thaw  will  cancel  spring  skiing.  The  lifts  always 
.lose  Oil  tiie  15th  of  ,\pril.  This  is  nsualh'  due  to  die  lack  of  cus- 
.K.iicrs,  rather  dian  to  any  lack  of  snow.  There  has  been  skiing 
lis  Kui'  as  the  middle  of  |nly. 

.S.iing  as  .Vspen  comes  as  a  slight  shock  (o  most  easterti  ski- 
ers, instead  of  narrow  trails  there  are  huge  expanses  of  open 
monntaiti.  The  runs  —  even  the  shortest  ones  —  are  twice  as  long 
as  the  a\i'rage  eastern  trail.  In  certain  ways,  this  western  skiing 
is  more  iiigged.  For  oie  thing,  no  attempt  is  ever  made  to  pack 
the  trails.  Ihis  means  skiers  ha\i'  to  cope  with  harder  coiiditions, 
such  as  dee])  powder  or  breakable  ernst.  .Also,  even  the  easiest 
trails  are  co\iTed  with  large,  diseoneerting  bumps,  called  "inognls" 
out  west,  which  seldom  turn  up  in  the  East  except  on  the  expert 
trails. 

(,7ir/ir  Lifts 

Tluir  lilt  facilities  consist  of  two  chair  lifts,  and  a  T-bar  for 
tlie  beginners'  slope.  The  main  lift,  advertised  as  the  longest  in 
the  world,  is  14,000  li'i-t  long  and  takes  45  miinites  to  ascend.  The 
second  lilt,  a  double  chair,  opens  up  a  basin  on  another  face  of 
the  mountain.  .\  third  chair  lift  will  be  built  this  summer,  siip- 
posedK'  to  keep  pace  with  the  es'er-incieasing  erow<ls. 

Switching  lo  a  ilifferent  subject,  thi'  possibilities  of  getting 
dates  iji  .Aspen  were  nearly  endless.  The  ratio  favore<l  males  as 
much  as  2-1.  Fortunately  h)r  the  nightlife,  and  not  so  fortunatelv 
for  the  niid-morning  lilt-lines.  Williams'  vacation  coincided  with 
that  of  nearly  every  other  school  iti  the  country. 
liennudd  Competition 

Possibh'  due  to  the  excursion  to  Benmida,  there  was  not  an 
overabundance  of  college  girls.  There  was  a  sprinkling  of  Smith, 
\'assar,  etc.,  (|nite  a  number  Irom  Xortliwesteru,  and  som<'  Irom 
Denver  University,  (Colorado  I'liiversity.  ami  Colorado  (College. 
However,  the  vast  majority  of  these  ski-hnnnies  were  highly  snow- 
able  types  either  Irom  eastern  prep  schools,  or  Wisconsin  and 
Minnesota  high  schools.  Another  gold  mitie  was  the  troujje  of 
t)eantifnl,  bronzed,  and  usually  blond  nuinbers  who  abound  in 
.Aspen  as  "ski-!)iims  ",  working  sex'eral  hums  a  day  for  the  season's 
lift  ticket,  board,  and  SIO  a  week  to  spend. 

Unlike  some  ski  ri'sorts,  notably  Mad  Hi\('r  and  to  some  ex- 
tent Stowe,  there  is  a  lot  to  do  alter  skiing.  One  can  evr-ii  go  switn- 
ming  i:i  an  outdoor,  heated  svvinmu'ng  pool;  take  a  Finnish  bath 
called  a  Badstn,  or  hire  a  team  ol  dogs  lor  a  sleigh-ride.  Another 
off-beat  pastime,  one  which  is  highly  nn]iopular  with  the  ski  pa- 
trol, is  niootiliglit  beer  parties  up  on  the  moimtain.  Needless  to 
say,  the  hardest  part  is  skiing  back  down  after  one  of  these  blasts.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


I'Ulitor's  Note:  Mr.  Hamilton  R.  Woods,  Williams  ^i^rad  of  /y/o, 
eites  an  editorial  of  Saturdaij,  Mareh  S,  "The  Amherst  I'hohia".  as 
the  incentive  for  his  letter.  The  editorial,  published  o/i  the  datj  of 
the  Williams-Amherst  basketball  f^ame,  decried  the  unneeessarilii 
poor  record  of  the  WUlianis  Icamx  afiainst  Amherst.  The  poor 
record  was  attrilmlcd  lo  a  fear  and  "(iWifciiiii"  up"  at  the  sif^ht 
of  .^mher.it   numerals.   Incidcntalli/.   Williams  to.tt. 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

The  enclosed  iiiticle  is  evidence  that  somebody  has  wakid 
up  lo  the  fact  that  athletics  al  Williams  are  in  not  too  gooil  comli. 
tion.  I  have  oftiMi  thicatened  to  write  voiir  paper  to  get  a  list  i,| 
the  games  between  Aiuheist  and  Williams  :md  the  scores  durii..^ 
the  last  five  years.  Would  not  such  a  list  he  ihe  best  thing  to  briim 
it  to  the  attention  of  students  and  others.^ 

.After  having  been  out  of  college  45  years  and  been  back  'o 
Williamstown  more  than  1.50  times  and  been  in  pretty  close  co  i- 
tact  with  the  nndei graduates  through  sons  ol  my  friends  and  thi.r 
of  my  own  boys  who  graduated,  I  think  I  know  one  ol  the  aiiswi  is 
to  this  unfortunate  situation  I  may  be  wrong  and  many  who  I.  . 
lieve  my  answer  is  right  will  not  atlinit  it  for  obvious  reasons  I 
think  die  general  reason  that  our  athletics  have  slid  is  becau  ■ 
many  of  the  best  athletes  arc  not  willing  to  give  up  their  womi  i 
and  litinor  to  do  the  necessarv  training.  My  second  reason  is  th  .1 
those  to  whom  mv  first  reason  does  not  apply  :ire  just  too  dariul 
lazy  and  haven't  the  guts  to  Iraiii.  .An  integral  pari  ol  these  Ivm) 
reasons   is   the   proximity   ol    llenniiigton   (^>llege. 

Why  don't  yon  get  out  the  list  ol  games  and  scores  for  tin' 
last  five  years  and  then  wc  will  know  \vh:it  we  are  talking  about-'

MONEY  ISN'T  EVERYTHING 

I  have  a.sked  the  makers  oi  Philip  Mnrri.s  —  an  enterprising 
and  aggressive  group  of  men;  yet  at  the  same  time  warm  and 
lovable;  though  not  without  acumen,  perspicacity,  and  drive; 
which  does  not,  however,  mask  their  essential  greatheartedness ; 
a  quality  evident  to  all  who  have  ever  enjoyed  the  beneficence  and 
gentleness  of  their  wares;  I  refer,  of  course,  to  Philip  Morris 
Cigarettes,  a  smoke  fashioned  with  such  loving  care  and  ten- 
dered with  such  kind  regard  that  these  old  eyes  grow  misty  when 
I  think  upon  it  -  I  have  asked,  I  say,  the  makers  of  I'hilip  Morris 
—  that  aggregate  of  shrewd  but  kindly  tobacconists,  that  covey 
of  enlightened  Merry  Andrews,  that  cluster  of  good  souls  bound 
together  by  the  profit  motive  and  an  unllagging  determination 
to  provide  all  America  with  a  cigarette  forever  gentle  and 
eternally  pleasing  -  I  have  asked,  1  say,  the  makers  of  Philip 
Morris  whether  I  might  use  today's  column  to  lake  up  the 
controversial  question  :  Should  a  coed  share  expenses  on  a  date? 

"Yes,"  said  the  makers  simply.  We  all  embraced  then  and 
squeezed  each  other  and  exchanged  brave  smiles,  and  if  our 
eyes  were  a  trifle  moist,  who  can  blame  us? 

To  the  topic  then:  Should  a  coed  share  expenses  on  a  date?  I 
think  I  can  best  answer  the  question  by  citing  the  following 
typical  case: 

Poseidon  Nebenzal,  a  student  at  Oklahoma  A  and  M,  majoring 
in  hide,!  and  tallow,  fell  wildly  in  love  with  Mary  Ellen  Flange, 
a  flax  weevil  major  at  the  same  school.  Ills  love,  he  had  reason 
to  believe  from  Mary  Ellen's  sidelong  glances  and  maidenly 
blushes,  was  not  entirely  unrequited,  and  by  and  by  he  mustered 


■./lii  Love  m  note/ztm'/  Unrd'^i^Uitcc/ 


up  enough  courage  to  ask  her  the  all-important  question:  "Will 
you  wear  my  4-H  pin  ?" 

"Yes,"  she  said  simply.  They  embraced  then  and  squeezed 
each  other  and  exchanged  brave  smiles,  and  if  their  eyes  were 
a  trifle  moist,  who  can  blame  them? 

For  a  time  things  went  swimmingly.  Then  a  cloud  appeared. 
Mary  Ellen,  it  seems,  was  a  rich  girl  and  accustomed  to  costly 
pleasures.  Poseidon  was  bone-poor  and  he  quickly  ran  out  of 
money.  Unable  to  take  Mary  Ellen  to  the  poah  places  she  fancied 
and  too  proud  to  tell  her  the  reason,  he  turned  surly  and  full  of 
melancholy.  Senseless,  violent  quarrels  developed.  Soon  it  ap- 
peared that  the  romance,  so  promising  at  the  beginning,  was 
headed  for  a  breakup,  but  at  the  last  moment,  Poseidon  man- 
aged to  blurt  out  the  truth. 

"Oh,  beloved  agrarian!"  cried  Mary  Ellen,  grappling  him 
close.  "Oh,  proud  husbandman!  Oh,  foolish  reaper!  Why  have 
you  not  told  me  bci'ore?  I  have  plenty  of  money,  and  I  will  con- 
tribute according  to  my  ability." 

Poseidon,  of  course,  protested,  but  she  finally  persuaded  him 
of  the  wisdom  of  her  course.  From  then  on  they  split  all  ex- 
penses according  to  their  incomes.  Rather  than  embarrass 
Poseidon  by  handing  him  money  in  public,  a  joint  bank  account 
was  set  up  to  allow  him  to  write  checks.  Into  this  account  each 
week  they  faithfully  deposited  their  respective  allowances  -  35 
cents  from  Poseidon ;  $2300  from  Mary  Ellen. 

And  it  worked  fine!  Gone  was  all  the  arguing  and  bickering. 
They  were  happy  -  truly  happy!  And  what's  more,  when  they 
graduated  they  had  a  nice  little  nest  egg  -  eight  million  dollars 
-  with  which  to  furnish  a  lovely  apartment  in  Lubbock,  Texas, 
where  today  they  operate  the  local  laundromat. 

So  you  see?  You  too  can  salvage  your  failing  romance  if  you 
will  only  adopt  a  healthy,  sensible  attitude  toward  money.

the  18-man  squad  .scored  wins 
over  Pfeitfer,  Guilford  twice  and 
Parlel(!h-Dlcl<eii.son  while  lo.slnR  to 
Elon  twice  and  Upsala. 

The  trip  began  with  two  tilts 
against  the  perennially  stronR 
Elon  College  outfit  in  North  Car- 
olina. The  Ephs  dropped  both  tus- 
sles. Tom  Yankus  and  Bob  Newey 
shared  the  pitching  in  the  4-3 
defeat.  Yankus  striking  out  nine 
batters  in  five  frames,  while  New- 
ey, taking  the  loss,  hurled  the  last 
three  Innings.  Third  baseman  Dick 
Fearon  paced  the  Eph  attack, 
poling  a  two-iun  homer. 

Second  Game 

Elon  copped  the  second  tilt  by 
a  lop-sided  13-3  count  as  Don 
Mclean,  the  loser,  and  Crawfoid 
Blagden  combined  on  the  hurling 
duties.  The  winners  exploded  for 
eight  run.s  in  the  .seventh  to  ice 
the  verdict.  Bob  Iverson,  sopho- 
more leftfielder,  Dick  Ennis,  cen- 
terflelder,  and  Pearon  were  the 
batting  stars.  Iverson  blasted  a 
solo  home  run. 

Dick  Flood  received  credit  for 
the  16-12  victory  over  Pfelffer 
College  the  following  day.  He  was 
touched  for  eight  hits  in  five  inn- 
ings on  the  mound,  walking  four 
and  fanning  five.  Walt  O'Henrn 
mopped  up.  Ennis  with  three  hits 
and  Pearon  and  Dick  Marr  with 
two  apiece  paced  the  16-hlt  Wil- 
liams attack.  A  nine-run  outbuist 
in  the  first  inning  cinched  the 
contest. 

Guilford   Dropped   Twice 

The  Ephs  blasted  Qullford  Col- 
lege 11-4  and  6-1  with  tight  pitch- 
ing and  timely  stickwork  making 
the  difference.  In  the  first  game, 
Newey  and  Blagden  handled  the 
slabwork  with  Newey  taking  the 
win.  Sophomore  outfielder  Matt 
Donner  went  four-for-flve  and 
Ennis  added  three  safeties  to 
highlight  the  U-hlt  assault.  Wil- 
liams received  Its  top  hurling  per- 
formance of  the  trip  the  next  day 
when  yankus  and  McLean  com- 
bined to  drop  Oullford  with  a 
neat  three-hlttcr.  Catcher  Marv 
Wetnsteln  slammed  a  two-run 
homer  with  Ennis  and  captain

Machine  Is  Flop  Williams  Harriers 
In  National  DebutCompete  in  South 


Discrepancies  Mark 
NCAA  Swim  Meet 


By  Simeral  Bunch 

Wedne.sday,  Apr.  11  -  Automa- 
tion is  taking  over  many  jobs  for- 
merly held  by  humans.  In  the 
swimming  world  a  machine  has 
been  developed  lor  semi-automatic 
judging  of  meet  finLshes.  How- 
ever, Williams  swimming  coach 
Bob  Mulr  had  his  hands  full — too 
fill— when  the  judges  at  the  Na- 
tional Collegiate  Swimming  cham- 
pionship disagreed  with  the  me- 
chanical marvel. 

The  7-man  NCAA  committee 
this  year  for  the  first  time  al- 
lowed the  newly-developed  ma- 
chine to  pick  places  in  its  cham- 
pionship meet,  and  the  machine 
made  some  highly  contested  de- 
cisions. 

Two  Major  Mix-Ups 

The  machine  was  planned  and 
constructed  by  the  engineering  de- 
partment of  the  University  of  Mi- 
chigan and  was  u.sed  with  success 
this  past  season  in  the  Big  Ten. 
It  Is  automatically  activated  by 
the  sound  of  the  starting  gun,  and 
il  registers  finishing  order  and 
time  a.s  a  judge  stationed  at  the 
end  of  each  lane  presses  a  button 
when  a  swimmer  touches. 

Two  major  mix-ups  occurred  as 
a  rtsalt  of  non-agi cement  between 
man  and  machine.  In  the  50-yard 
freestyle,  thi  machine  registered 
a  lie.  the  first  in  the  history  of 
the  champiorLships,  and  the  times 
turned  in  by  the  officials  did  not 
agree  wilh  the  decision  of  the  ma- 
chini'.  Since  the  machine  was  the 
sole  "official"  judge,  the  tie  held. 
Bob  Mulr,  the  head  "human" 
judge,  then  found  himself  the  ob- 
ject of  vociferous  complaint.  When 
there  was  a  discrepancy  later  in 
the  100,  Mulr's  position  became 
untenable  and  he  announced  that 
the  machine  would  no  longer  be 
used. 

Olympic  coach-elect  Mulr  was 
otherwise  expressedly  satisfied 
with  the  meet,  however,  because  of 
the  appearance  of  some  top-flight 
Olympic  material. 


Lacrossemen  Pass  Up 

Spring  Practice  Trip 


By    Dick    Davis 

Wednesday,  Apr.  11  -  Fifteen 
Williams  trackmen  embarked  on 
Satuiday.  Mai-ch  24,  to  the  sunny 
south  for  a  pre-.season  training 
session.  Another  Purple  .spring 
contingent,  the  lacrosse  team,  de- 
cided that  the  trip  would  do  them 
more  harm  than  good. 

On  Monday,  the  26th,  the  track 
team  participated  in  a  triangular 
meet  with  Purman  and  Davidson 
on  the  latter's  cindei's.  Due  to  the 
lack  of  any  previois  outdoor  pi-ac- 
tice,  Williams  wound  up  third,  be- 
hind Davidson  with  95  points  and 
Furman  with  37.  The  Ephs  scored 
31.  Had  captain  Andy  Smith  been 
able  to  run,  the  result  might  have 
been  different.  Smith,  out  with  a 
leg  injury  may  not  be  able  to  com- 
pete in  the  dashes,  his  specialty, 
until  the  middle  of  May,  coach 
Tony  Plansky  says. 

Two    First    Places 

Bill  Pox  won  the  quarter  mile 
in  52.3.  The  only  other  Purple 
first  place  went  to  the  mile  relay 
team  of  freshman  George  Sud- 
duth.  Steve  Carroll,  freshman 
Tony  Harwood,  and  anchor  man 
Fox.  "Hots"  Ports.  Sudduth.  and 
John  Schimmel  captured  .second 
spots  in  the  two-mile.  880,  and 
100.  respectively.  In  the  field.  Wil- 
liams was  less  impressive,  gaining 
Ihi-ee  third  places  and  a  fourth. 

The  Eph  harriers  were  schedul- 
ed to  meet  V.P.I,  on  Wednesday, 
but  adverse  weather  conditions 
cancelled  the  meet.  The  squad  dis- 
persed to  their  homes  on  Tliurs- 
day. 

The  lacrosse  team  was  schedul- 
ed to  meet  Baltimoi'e  College  and 
the  University  of  Maryland  during 
the  vacation.  The  Eph  stickmen 
would  have  been  wholly  unready 
foi  the.se  two  excellent  teams,  and 
Coach  Jim  Ostendarp  reasoned 
that  the  team's  morale  was  more 
important  than  the  scanty  prac- 
tice the  trip  would  have  afforded. 
The  team  opens  this  Saturday  at 
Tufts.

Wieneke  Caotures 
AAU  Tournament 


Purple  Wrestler  Eligible 
For  Coming  Olympics 


Wednesday,  Apr.  11  -  As  a  re- 
.sult  of  winning  the  130-pound  di- 
vision of  an  AAU  open  tourna- 
ment. Williams  wrestler  Kuhi-l 
Wieneke  '59  is  now  eligible  to 
compete  for  the  1956  United 
States  Olympic  Squad.  Because 
the  Olympics  would  necessitate 
losing  a  year  of  college,  Wieneke 
has  decided  not  to  seek  a  berth  on 
the  Olympic  team  which  will  com- 
pete in  Melbourne,  Australia  this 
year. 

In  winning  this  tournsment 
held  at  Westchester,  Pennsylvania, 
over  spring  vacation,  Wieneke 
pinned  four  opponents  and  deci- 
sloned  a  fifth,  while  losing  one 
match  via  decision.  His  victims 
Included  a  member  of  the  1952 
Olympic  team  as  well  as  Spring- 
field ace  Joe  Alissi.  At  Williams 
Wieneke  was  undefeated  while 
captaining  the  freshman  wrest- 
lers this  year. 


By  Sandy  Hanseil 

Thursday.  Mar.  22  -  The  pre- 
sentation of  an  award  to  retiring 
coach  Ed  Bullock  and  the  naming 
ol  next  year's  captain  highlighted 
the  annual  Wi'estllng  Banquet, 
held  this  evening  at  the  1896 
House. 

The  team  presented  Bullock, 
who  just  concluded  his  34th — and 
final— year  as  head  wrestling 
coach,  with  a  beautiful  silver  tray, 
on  which  is  inscribed  his  complete 
coaching  record  here.  He  will  be 
replaced  next  season  by  frosh 
coach  Jim  Ostendarp. 

McKee   Captain 

Next  year's  team  captain  will 
be  Ted  McKee,  who  was  undefeat- 
ed during  the  regular  season  this 
year  and  finished  second  in  the 
130-pound  division  at  the  New 
England  championships.  McKee. 
also  head  cheerleader  for  next 
year,  is  serving  as  chairman  of 
the  committee  forming  a  new  Pur- 
ple Key  society.  Joe  Alissi  of 
Springfield,  voted  the  outstand- 
ing wrestler  in  the  tourney,  de- 
feated McKee  in  the  finals. 

Bullock,  a  tradition  at  Williams 
since  1924,  has  coached  varsity 
squads  in  three  different  sports 
here  along  with  serving  as  chair- 
man of  the  Physical  Training  de- 
partment, running  the  intramural 
athletic  program  and  handling 
tickets  for   all  athletic  events. 

Springfield  Graduate 

After  graduating  from  Spring- 
field College,  he  earned  the  dis- 
tinction of  coaching  the  first 
teams  Williams  ever  fielded  in 
three  different  sports — soccer, 
wrestling  and  lacrosse.  It  is  inter- 
esting to  note  'hat  the  first  la- 
crosse game  he  ever  saw  was  his 
own  team's  opener  against  Un- 
ion. He  remained  lacrosse  coach 
for  five  years.  In  addition,  he 
guided  Eph  soccer  teams  for  25 
seasons  and  just  completed  his 
34th  season  with  the  grapplers. 

Coach  Bullock,  Inevitably  call- 
ed "Uncle  Ed"  by  his  squad  mem- 
bers, has  compiled  a  highly  envi- 
able record  through  the  years.  In 
the  ten  seasons  in  which  the  New

ling Association  has  been  in  ex-

Chaplain  Delivers 
Sermon  In  Place 
Of  Absent  Gezork 


Prof.  Tillich  to  Address 
Third  WCC  Conference 
Next  Sunday  Nigfit 


Aspei 


Wednesday,  Apr.  11  -  SpeakinB 
in  place  of  the  Reverend  Herbert 
Gezoik.  the  scheduled  Preacher  In 
Chapel  last  Sunday,  Chaplain 
William  Cole  delivered  the  ser- 
mon "Ye  Shall  Know  the  Truth, 
and  the  Truth  Shall  Make  You 
Free".  Dr.  Cole  stated  before  the 
seimon  that  he  felt  like  "The 
Qreat  Pretender"  because  this 
was  the  third  time  he  had  filled 
in  for  a  .scheduled  speaker.  Mr. 
Gezork  was  unable  to  appear  on 
account  of  poor  weather  condi- 
tions. 

Rev.  Cole  said  that  we  are  sus- 
picious of  any  claims  to  truth.  We 
prefer  to  believe  that  "the  only 
reliable  truth  seems  to  be  that 
there  is  no  truth".  Using  this 
philosophy  we  feel  free  to  be  inde- 
pendent and  autonomous. 

Freedom  Only  An  Illusion 

He  went  on  to  say  that  freedom 
is  only  an  illusion.  We  are  free 
only  to  choose  what  we  will  serve. 
F?:u'  of  beins  wrong  makes  us 
embrace  the  illusion  of  being  free. 
Although  we'd  prefer  to  suspend 
judgment  on  certain  things  until 
more  light  is  thrown  on  the  sub- 
ject, there  are  certain  times  when 
a  choice  as  to  what  we  will  serve 
must  be  made,  such  as  picking  a 
job. 

Ultimate  service,  however,  be- 
longs to  God  whose  service  is  per- 
fect freedom.  "When  you  know 
the  truth  about  yourself,  about 
the  world,  and  about  God,  then 
you  are  truly  free." 

On  Sunday,  April  15,  Paul  Till- 
icli.  one  of  the  most  well  known 
theologians  and  philosophers  in 
the  world,  will  deliver  the  sermon 
at  the  five  o'clock  service.  After- 
wards Prof.  Tillich  will  speak  on 
"The  Relationship  of  Philosophy 
and  ReUgion"  in  the  third  Chapel 
sponsored  Conference  this  term.

finition  of  Dirty  Rushing.  Some  of 
the  Committee's  proposals  are  ex- 
pected to  come  from  the  report  of 
a  Gargoyle  Committee  on  rushing. 
The  report  of  this  committee  was 
not  accepted  by  Gargoyle  as  a 
whole,  but,  according  to  Gardner, 
it  contains  several  worthwhile  sug- 
gestions. 

Other  problems  which  will  con- 
cern the  CC-SC  are,  the  question 
of  "pressure  on  houses  which 
causes  them  to  dirty  rush."  and  of 
"decreasing  stratification  among 
houses  without  sacrificing  the  goal 
of  total  opportunity". 

Total  opportunity  is  defined  as 
a  situation  in  which  all  those  who 
wish  to  join  a  fraternity  have  the 
opportunity  to  do  so.  It  does  not 
necessarily  mean  that  all  students 
could  join  the  fraternity  of  their 
choice.  Total  opportunity  has  been 
the  goal  of  Williams'  CC's  for 
many  years.  It  has  never  yet  been 
achieved.

Aspen.  The  Jerome  has  a  girl  who 
sings  like  Julie  U)ndon  to  her  own 
Stan  Kenton-like  piano  accom- 
paniment. The  Red  Onion  boasts  a 
pleasant  bafk-room  called  the 
"Beer-Oulch",  with  a  progressive 
Jazz  band  and/or  singing.  An- 
other hot-spot  is  the  Golden  Horn, 
which  has  a  floor-show  and  danc- 
ing. Incidentally,  they  ask  for  ID 
cards,  but  do  not  chL'ck  them 
closely.  Besides  the  above,  there 
are  movie  theatres  and  a  o.iwlini; 
alley. 

Tliere  is  only  one  concjlv.ibl. 
objection  to  Aspen — the  cost,  't'he 
major  item  is  the  transportation. 
This  cost  can  be  cut  considerably 
by  driving  out,  but  this  is  a  4^ 
hour  ordeal.  Once  in  Aspen,  it  is 
possible,  but  not  probable,  for  ono 
to  subsist  fairly  cheaply;  at  least 
according  to  the  standards  of 
Stowe.  A  week's  tow  ticket  is  $26, 
and  food,  lodging,  and  drink  need 
not  be  too  expensive.

view with  James  Reston  of  the 
New  York  Times  the  "most  in-

that  his  words  have  a  wider  audi-

Hieman  Foundation  Curator  Talks 
On  Responsibilities  of  Newspapers; 
Lyons  Discusses  One  ■  Party  Press 


'rimisilav. 


April  12  -  Louis  NL  Lyons,  iiiiator  ol  the  Ni.'iiiuii 
I  oiimlutioii  111  llarviiiii  Uiiivcrsifv,  spoke  tliis  cvciiiiijr  to  a  siiiiill 
i)iif  (■iitliusiastic  "cgKlioad  coiistidiciicv".  In  his  position  as  diKr- 
iiir  ol  th<'  Foundation,  wliiili  lie  dosciibcd  as  "a  curious  little  in- 
.litution",   Lyons  lielps   seleel  and   eo-ordiiiate   tlie  work  ol    those 

eeeiviii^  lellowsliips  in   journalism, 

Lyons  beKan  hl.s  discussion  of  the^ . 

cspon-sibility  of  the  press  by  point- 
as  out   that  the  press,    far  from 

elcomlng  criticism,  is  actually  hy- 

ersensative  to  it.  Thoufsh  conclu- 
,:ing  that  there  has  been  little  suc- 

ss  in  appraislnu  the  press  from 

le  outside,   he  pointed   out  that 

ipman's  question,  "Who  is  to  po- 
f  oe  the   policemen?"   is   one  that 

lUst  be   raised.  This   question  is 

.pecially  siKniflcant  in  the  case  of 

lie  local  paper  enjoying  a  monop- 
.  ,y  and  dealing  with  local  ques- 
;  ions. 

If  the  press  is  to  be  responsible, 
ic'cordlng  to  Lyon.s,  it  must  enable 
liie  constituent  parts  of  the  com- 
liiunlty  to  under.stand  each  other. 
AlihouKh  recognizing  that  the  pub- 
licity of  the  press  is  all-perva.sivc. 
lie  suggested  that  it  was  really  veiy 
difficult  to  be  well  informed  by  any 
objective  standards.  This  problem 
has  become  especially  difficult  in 
an  age  of  powerful  interest  groups. 
Illustrative  of  this  fact  is  the  one- 
party  press.  Stevenson  after  having 
observed  that  "there  is  no  more 
Important  forum  than  tlie  forum 
of  ideas",  was  therefore  quite  jus- 
tified In  pleading  for  a  two-party 
press. 

Not  only  the  editorial  page,  but 
also  the  coverage  of  news  is  color- 
ed by  the  viewpoint  of  the  news- 
paper. Lyons  pointed  out  that 
merely  assigning  both  parties  the 
same  number  of  Inches  of  cover- 
iii;e  is  not  true  Impartiality  as 
there  is  no  Inherent  tendency  for 
opposing  candidates  to  be  equally 
newsworthy.  Quite  often  a  prud- 
ent editor  should  take  Al  Capp's 
advice  when  he  said,  "If  Mr.  Taft 
will  do  something  nice  next  week, 
I  wil  say  something  nice  about  Mr. 
Taft", 

The  problem  of  a  responsible 
press  is  further  complicated  by  the 


Mr.  Louis  M.  Lyuiis,  Curator  of 
the  Nicman  Fellowships  at  Har- 
vard University. 


fact  that  only  a  capitalist  can  stait 
a  newspaper.  Even  a  moderately 
large  newspaper  is  now  a  million 
dollar  business.  The  basis  of  the 
newspaper's  welfare  is  mass  adver- 
tising. Business  men,  whose  chief 
support  comes  from  other  business 
men,  do  not  often  become  wild- 
eyed  crusaders. 


The  situation  is  not  entirely 
black.  Some  papers,  like  the  'St. 
Louis  Post  Dispatch",  still  crusade. 
The  "New  York  Times"  has  a  re- 
markably good  coverage  of  the 
news.  Moreover,  in  drawing  on  his 
personal  experience,  Lyons  advan- 
ced the  belief  that  those  that  have 
gone  out  from  projects  supervised 
by  the  Nieman  Foundation  and 
similar  groups  have  a  new  aware- 
ness of  journalistic  ethics. 


Critic  Lauds  Savacool  Production 
Of  Anouilh's  'Le  Bal  des  Voleurs' 


hi/  S.  Imiw  luii.sDii.  Jr. 

It  is  K<'i'ig  to  he  hard  to  do  justice  to  Lr  lUil  des  Vulciirs,  pre 
sented  by  the  Department  of  Hoinanic  l,aiij;uai;i's  at  the  Adam 
Memorial  Tlieatre  Wednesday  night,  because  there  were  a  lot  of 
people  in  it  and  everybody  stole  the  show  without  runninif  ofl 
with  it.  Furthermore,  1  have  been  sharply  limited  as  to  space,  in 
fact  e.vactly  limited  to  49  lines  with  my  typewriter  margins  duly 
set  at  10  and  75.  I  like  to  work  to  specifications,  but  this  is  posi- 
tively the  higher  joinery.  If  the  last  word  of  this  piece  is  not  "mar- 
\cllotis",  the  reader  is  warned  herewith  that  I  was  chopped. 

Orchestra  is  the  word  for  the  coniiiany  that  performed  thi 
comedy-ballet,  as  if  is  appropriately  called,  and  conductor  is  the 
word  for  its  director.  Some  of  the  orchestra  was  not  visible,  for 
much  of  it  had  completed  its  work  well  before  the  jierformance 
began,  p'roni  first  person  on  stage  to  last,  from  sci'ne  and  lighting 
designers  and  advi.scrs  to  co.stumers.  from  musicians  and  dancers 
to  poster-makers  -  all  concerned  had  a  sense  ot  the  play  as  a 
whole  and  of  the  mood  which  extended  to  its  every  detail.  The 
final  credit  line  lists  debrotiilleun  j^cucmiix  cl  s))ccifkjuvs:  if  tliese 
persons  had  any  general  or  specific  unmixing  to  do,  they  did  it 
marvellously  well. 

As  in  his  previous  productions,  each  of  which  has  som(;how 
managed  to  surpass  the  incredibly  high  artistic  standard  ot  the 
previous  one,  Mr.  Savacool  tinned  e\ eryfhing  possible  into  miming 
and  dancing.  The  art  of  Marcel  Marceaii  has  nnich  in  common 
with  this  intent;  in  both  the  barrier  of  language  is  breached,  and 
the  more  universal  languages  of  visual  and  kinetic  communication 
are  drawn  upon.  This  may  help  explain  why  the  A.  M.  T.  was 
packed,  though  the  play,  itself  pretty  tenuous,  was  presented  in 
a  foreign  language. 

1  shall  not  pretentl  that  I  understood  as  many  of  the  words  as 
'  ought  to  have  caught,  or  that  many  of  the  apparently  subtle 
literary  miimccs  came  across  through  my  cars.  Obviously  my 
French  is  getting  worse,  and  to  be  forced  to  realize  this  because 
what  you  hoar  is  simply  going  by  too  fast  and  too  idiomatically 
for  you  can  be  a  ratlier  depressing  ex|ierience.  So  I  clutchetl  at 
the  synopsis  thoughtfullv  proxided  in  the  program,  and  gathered 
that  on  philosophical  grounds  a  good  dt'bate  could  be  (le\eloped 
about  M.  Anouilh's  concept  of  life. 

What  Mr,  Savacool's  company  gave  us  Wednesday  night, 
however,  was  more  valuable  than  anv  such  del)ate,  and  I  have  a 
very  strong  suspicion  which  I  cannot  prove  that  it  also  (|uite  out- 
distanced the  potentialities  of  M,  Anouilh's  script.  For  all  con- 
eerned  worked  intensively  together  to  give  it  movement,  grace, 
wit,  and  a  civilized  demeanor.  There  was  not  a  false  move,  no 
hombast,  no  declamation,  no  giggling,  no  hamming;  and  the  pace, 
set  and  held  by  a  spare  but  brilliant  musical  aceompaminent,  was 
breath-taking.  All  of  which  is  marvellous  enough,  and  rare  even 
in  professional  circles.  I  am  at  my  47th  line  now  and  camiot  begm 
to  list  all  of  those  who  were  responsible,  but  it  is  fairer  not  to  begin 
fhan  to  omit  any  of  the  several  dozen  of  them  -  all  marvellous.

Repp   Announces 
Houseparty  Plans 

Weekend  to  Include 
Jazz  Under  Stars 


By   Ernie  Imhoff 

Saturday,  Apr.  14  -  From  the 
office  of  Dick  Repp,  president  of 
the  host  Junior  Class,  comes  the 
first  official  announcement  of 
campaign  strategy  concerning  the 
1956  edition  of  the  Spring  House- 
party,  May  4,  5.  and  6.  In  spite 
of  a  collection  of  traditionally 
soggy  v^'eather  records  for  this 
event,  the  1957  heirarchy  peers 
optimistically  into  the  Berkshire 
blue. 

Following  the  arrival  of  dates  on 
Friday,  May  4,  various  impromptu 
cocktail,  and  barley,  malt,  and 
hopps  sessions  will  herald  the 
hectic  three  days.  The  Student 
Union  will  again  attempt  to  hold 
the  countless  couples  that  night 
with  Boyd  Rayburn  and  his  or- 
chestra tooting  away  on  top  deck. 
This  is  a  newly-formed  dance  ag- 
gregation which  has  made  several 
records  for  Columbia  i  to  be  re- 
leased later)  but  which  has  yet 
to  make  its  official  debut  in  pro- 
fessional circles. 

Down  below  in  the  Freshman 
Lounge,  Max  Kaminsky  and  his 
Dixielanders  will  provide  inspira- 
tion. Kaminsky  is  a  seasoned  fig- 
ure in  his  field,  and  has  appeared 
in  New  York's  Childs  Paramount, 
Birdland  and  the  Metropole,  from 
which  he  takes  a  break  to  come 
up  here, 

Saturday  morning,  excluding 
the  chance  of  a  freak  monsoon, 
class  picnics  on  Cole  Field  com- 
mence at  10:30.  Beer,  light 
lunches,  softball  games  and,  of 
course,  sun-worshipping  and  blan- 
ket-action will  keynote  this  get- 
together. 

Athletes  win  have  their  oppor- 
tunity amid  the  festivities.  Coach 
Bobby  Coombs'  Varsity  baseball 
.sciuad  has  two  games  on  tap  at 
Weston  Field  with  R.P.I,  on  Fii- 
day  afternoon  at  4;00,  and  Wes- 
leyan at  2:00  the  next  day.  A 
four-way  golf  match  'Jvill  crowd 
the  Taconic  links  between  Holy 
Cross,  Middlebury,  Connecticut 
and  Williams  starting  at  2:00  a- 
long  with  a  frosh  golf  encounter 
with  Hotchkiss.  Also  on  Friday  af- 
ternoon, the  lacrosse  and  tennis 
teams  oppose  Union  and  Middle- 
bury  respectively.  The  frosh  la- 
crosse team  opens  its  season  with 
Harvard  at  2:30. 

According  to  all  present  signs, 
the  weekend's  highlight  presents 
Itself  in  the  welcome  form  of  an- 
other great  SprlnR  Street  Stom- 
pers  concert  Saturday  night. 
Something  new  has  been  added 
this  year,  with  the  group  deciding 
to  perform  under  the  stars  on 
Weston  Field.  This  will  mark  the 
last  official  home  performance  of 
this  Williams  Institution. 


Saturday,  Apr.  14  -  Wesleyan 
College  has  recently  met  the  op- 
position of  a  group  of  Alumni 
called  the  Committee  of  One  Hun- 
dred in  its  proposal  to  buy  a  near- 
by campus  and  found  a  coordinate 
college  for  women.  The  Committee 
of  One  Hundred  to  Preserve  the 
Wesleyan  Heritage  was  founded 
last  spring  by  a  group  of  Wesley- 
an graduates  to  combat  what  it 
considered  a  trend  under  the  pre- 
sent administration  away  from 
Wesleyan's  Christian  and  frater- 
nity traditions,  accoi-ding  to  the 
ARGUS. 

The  Committee  sent  a  question- 
naire to  all  alumni  stating  that  it 
did  not  approve  the  move  and 
then  asked  for  signatures  to  a 
statement  that  "(1)  I  am  not  in 
favor  of  the  Wesleyan  Woman's 
College  for  Training  Teachers  (it 
won't  be  a  teachers  college),  (2) 
I  would  not  contribute  to  the  sup- 
port or  to  meet  any  deficits  of 
such  a  Woman's  College". 

Tlie  ARGUS  in  another  issue 
calls  the  action  by  the  Committee 
a  "broadside  of  mistakes"  in  fact 
and  an  abuse  of  its  right  of  dis- 
sent "in  its  unenlightened  oppo- 
sition to  the  EXPLORATION  of 
a  proposal  for  a  sister  college". 
Meanwhile  the  school  in  question, 
Ijong  Lane  school  in  Middletown, 
postponed  action  on  its  proposed 
sale  to  Wesleyan  In  an  expected 
move  by  the  school's  board  of 
trustees.

Intramural  Controversy 

The  liitiaiimral  Atlilctic  riof^iiuii  at  Williams  is  one  of  flie 
iiio.st  hcalthv  and  fntc-itainiiig  pliast-s  ot  colk'j^c  life.  Unfoitiin- 
aU'ly  tliis  vear  it  has  caused  a  consideralile  amount  of  friction 
amoni;  fiaternity,  independent  and  freslinian  teams.  The  main 
cause  appears  to  be  the  cligibihty  status  of  an  intramural  athlete. 

As  e.xamples,  last  fall  a  house  played  four  touchfootball  j^ames 
before  it  realized  that  one  of  its  players  was  inelif^ible.  An  unbeat- 
en freshman  hockey  team  lost  all  hope  of  copping  the  leaj^iie 
championship  when  its  high  scorer  was  declared  ineligible  in  spite 
of  the  fact  that  he  had  checked  his  status  prior  to  the  start  of  the 
sea.son.  More  recently,  the  swiimning  meet  produced  more  friction 
outside  the  pool  than  waves  inside. 

The  tragic  aspect  of  the  entire  contro\-ersy  is  that  there  is 
no  logical  reason  why  any  dis|)ute  should  e.\ist.  Part  of  the  fault 
lies  in  the  fact  that  many  hou.si's  carry  competition  to  rather  ex- 
treme lengths.  But  the  oxerwhelining  portion  of  the  blame  lies  in 
the  unclear  statements  concerning  eligibility.  There  is  no  reason 
why  the  \arious  intranunal  managers  caimot  hold  a  meeting  be- 
fore each  season  and  decide  what  constitutes  eligibility.  Such  a 
simple  step  would  free  the  intranunal  athletes  from  petty  jealous- 
ies and  allow  them  to  use  their  lull  amount  of  skill  on  the  jjlaying 
fields.

1)1/  Tim  I'irciiKiii 

Oiu'  of  the  most  picssing  problems  in  the  United  States  to- 
day is  that  of  financing  our  institutions  of  higher  education.  The 
financial  s(|ueeze  which  has  caught  America's  collegi'S  and  uni- 
versities in  the  past  fifteen  yeais  is  particularly  harmlid  to  inde- 
pendent, pri\at<4y  endowed  colleges  such  as  Williams. 

In  broad  outlini',  the  fin.uieial  probliMU  that  afflicts  our  col- 
leges and  universities  is  simple.  The  demand  for  their  ser\  ices 
lias  inerea.sed  rapidly,  and  promises  to  keep  on  increasing  at  an 
even  greater  rate.  .U  the  same  tiiue.  their  capaeitv  to  provide 
these  services  has  lagged  behiml,  primarily  becaiisi'  ol  prii'c  in- 
llation. 

Injliilion  (Uiiiscs  Problem 

Between  1940  and  19.50,  college  and  nni\cisit)  emollment 
increased  from  approxiinateU'  I  l/.'5  million  (o  2  I/.:!  million  -  about 
75  per  cent.  Over  the  same  period,  their  educational  income, 
measured  iti  terms  of  its  actual  purchasing  oower.  increased  only 
about  61  per  cent.  .Meanwhile,  the  rapiti  advance  of  science  and 
technology  had  made  a  good  eollegi'  or  uni\ersity  coiuse  a  much 
more  expensive  operation  than  it  was  in  1940.  Since  19,50.  the 
financial  s([ueeze  has  intensified,  largely  because  ol  another  wave 
of  ])riee  inllation  touched  off  by  the   Korean  War. 

-Yniong  tlu'  colleges  and  universities,  the  independent,  priv- 
ately endowed  institutions  are  particularly  hard  pressed.  In  terms 
of  actual  purchasing  power,  the  independent  liberal  arts  colleges 
are  now  spending  an  average  ol  at  least  20  per  cent  less  per  stud- 
ent than  they  spent  in  1940.  Public  institutions,  snp])oited  out  ol 
wix  revenues,  have  managed  to  increase  slightly  their  expenditinc 
per  stutlent. 

Maiuj  Solutions  Proposi'il 

A  number  ol  solutions  have  been  ollered  lot  this  problem. 
For  instance.  Dr.  Earl  |.  McGrath,  president  of  the  University  of 
Kansas  Citv.  speaking  at  the  Confereuee  on  lulucation  spou.sored 
by  the  National  .Vssoeiation  foi  Higher  I'dncatioii  in  (Miicago  last 
month,  suggested  a  .50  per  cent  increase  in  tuition  lor  all  students. 
To  prevent  this  raise  from  freezing  out  good  students,  he  also  ad- 
vocated a  .$4()0,0()0.0()0  Feileral  scholarship  program.  This  would 
rai.se  tlu'  Williams  tuition,  which  now  covers  about  .50  per  cent 
of  the  cost  of  educating  the  student,  to  the  point  where  85  per 
cent  of  campus  costs  would  be  included  In  it. 

Such  a  raise,  in  the  opinion  ot  Pres.  |ames  P.  Baxter,  vvoidd 
"lead  the  privately  endowed  institutions  to  price  theni.selves  right 
out  ol  the  market.  .\s  lor  a  Federal  scholarship  program,  which 
independi'nt  colleges  have  always  opposed  because  ol  the  obvi- 
ous hkelihood  that  it  would  mean  Federal  control  ol  their  activ- 
ities. President  Baxter  tokl  this  leporter  that  he  did  not  believe 
that  even  a  .S40(),0()0.()()()  program  such  as  Dr.  McCJralh  suggested, 
would  be  sufficient  to  allow  all  good  students  ol  poor  means  to  go 
to  college  if  tuitions  were  raised  by  such  a  large  amount.  I'his 
statement  is  heavily  emphasized  bv  the  fact  that,  even  with  tui- 
tions at  their  presi'ut  level,  every  year  I.5(),0()()  boys  and  girls  in 
the  tO])  (piarter  of  theii  high  school  class  fail  to  a)5plv  for  college. 
Tuition   Too  lliiiti 

Rates  are  already  too  high.  In  the  past  two  years.  Yale.  Prince- 
ton. Harvard.  Dartmouth  and  IJrown  have  increased  their  lees 
to  $1000.  Williams,  ha\ing  raised  its  tuition  from  $.5.50  to  $800 


since  1952,  is  not  planning  another  iueiease  at  the  moment.  As  a 
result  of  such  boosts  in  the  tuition  of  privately  endowed  colleges 
and  universities,  theic  has  been  a  rapid  shilt  In  emollment  to  the 
public  institutions. 

In  the  fall  of  19.52,  tax  supported  colleges  and  nmveisities  cii. 
lolletl  about  7  1/2  per  cent  mon'  students  than  their  independnit 
counterparts.  In  19.5:1  this  percentage  was  doubled.  And  in  10,54 
the  public  colU'ges  <'nrolled  26  per  eeni  more  students.  II  the  ciir- 
rent  .shift  toward  such  .schools  eontiinies  at  the  .same  rate  over  llie 
next  five  years,  we  may  expect  lo  find  two  thirds  ol  the  estimal'.d 
three  tnilfi(ni  students  eniolli'd  in  tax-supporleil  colleges  and  iiiii. 
veisites. 

DuH'^cwus  Trcuil 

That  this  trend  could  be  disasteious  lo  oin  private  coll(i,.s 
is  obvious.  Far  more  impoitani  is  the  effect  it  eoidd  have  on  |',e 
nation  as  a  whole.  If  the  shill  continues  at  the  present  rate,  i  ,ie 
of  the  basic  elements  of  a  well  balanced  svstem  ol  higher  edn.  i- 
tion  -  a  strong  array  of  independent  colleges  and  universitic'  - 
may  well  be  dangdonsiy  weakened,  if  not  destroved.  And  ,s 
Harold  W.  DoiUls,  president  of  Princeton,  has  said.  "When  il  is 
no  longer  possible  h)r  a  man  to  find  a  college  lor  his  son  exc  it 
within  a  universal  state  system,  it  will  bi'  loo  late  lo  worry  ah 
freedom." 

What,  then,  is  the  solution':'  Mauv    educators  and  others 
now  convinced  that  American  business  is  the  only  group  that  . 
provide   a   suitable   answer.    l''nrthermore.    businessmen    have 
least  two  compelling  reasons  for  doing  so.  First,  a  high  poiXi 
age  of  the  nation's  business  leaders  are  grailuates  ol. private  . 
leges  and  nniversilies.   Second,   the   great   increase   in   enrolhn 
in   iiublic  institutions  means  a  corresponding  inei<Mse  in   the 
l)ill  for  tax-supported  education,  an  ample  share  ol  which  is  | 
by   business   firms.   Business   has   receiitlv    made   a   good   start 
wards  aiding  independent  ediuation.  But  much  more  help  Is  ne. 
ed.   And  it  is  needed  in  the  very  near  futuic.

Olympics  Prospects 
Please  US.  Coach 


Wednesday,  Apr,  11  -  ReturninK 
from  the  recent  Nat.  AAU  Tour- 
nament in  New  Haven,  Olympic 
swimmint!  coach  Bob  Muir  re- 
ported he  was  "very,  very  much 
pleased  with  the  improvement 
and  general  excellence  of  Olympic 
candidates".  Having  followed  the 
swimmers  IhrouKh  the  Eastern 
Intercollegiates  and  the  National 
IntercolleKiates,  Muir  could  not 
be  "more  pleased  or  impressed". 
Mrs.  Muir,  the  chief  timer  at  the 
Woman's  IntercollCKiates  was  also 
eiUhusiastic  over  the  outlook  of 
the  possible  woman's  branch  of 
the  Olympic  swimminK  learn. 

Muir  went  on  to  say  'hat  his 
two  main  threats  would  be  Aus- 
tralia and  Japan  in  ihui  order, 
IhouKh  he  admitted  willinf;ly  that 
the  "outlook  for  the  US  was  pretty 
Kood".  Obviously  enthusiastic,  tiie 
amiable  Muir  feels  he  has  a  fine 
cliance,  a(nd  from  all  outward 
sinns,  he  is  thinkinn  only  of  vic- 
tory. 

The  try-outs  for  the  Olympic 
.squad  will  be  held  Auk.  7-10  in 
Baton  Rouge.  La.  The  events, 
Muir  .said,  would  be  alternaled 
between  men  and  women,  all  tak-

winners  will  then  return  to  their 
own  coaches  until  Nov.  10.  when 
the  entire  squad  meets  at  San

Purple  Freshmen 
To  Open  Baseball 
Season  with  RPl 

40  Candidates  Practice 
Under  Coach  Watters; 
Ten  Hurlers  Report 


Saturday,  Apr,  14  -  With  their 
openlnB  Kame  aualnst  RPI  just 
two  weeks  away,  the  freshman 
baseball  squad  members  hope  to- 
day to  be  able  to  practice  on  Cole 
Field  for  the  fir.st  time.  Under 
Coach  Len  Watters,  nearly  40  as- 
pirants for  starting  berths  have 
been  held  to  limited  workouts  in 
the  caBe.  Since  about  three  weeks 
before  vacation,  however,  the  bal- 
terymen  liave  been  practicing 
every  other  day  in  the  cage. 

Contrary  to  the  situation  last 
season,  the  Ephs  have  10  hurlers 
vying  for  starting  assignments 
when  the  season  officially  starts. 
In  1955,  Watters  found  himself 
with  only  two  pitchers  at  the 
end  of  the  year,  a  fact  which  hurt 
a  ,squad  with  great  natural  talent 
in  the  other  positions.  Lefthand- 
ers Paul  Brown.  Hobie  Robinson 
and  Bruce  McEldowny  have  look- 
ed impre.ssive  ,so  far.  Tom  Piper, 
John  Bach.  Bob  Rediske.  Bob  Par- 
ker all  throw  from  the  right  side. 
Dave  Sack.  John  Berkshire  and 
Don  Brown  complete  the  hurling 
corps.  Pete  Naiman,  Tom  Christo- 
pher and  Chris  Tatlock  are  the 
contenders  for  the  .starting  catch- 
ing spot. 

Outfield  candidates  are  Biuce 
Listerman,  Mike  Baring-Gould, 
Joe  Prendergast,  Norm  Walker, 
Bill  Hedeman,  Dan  Panning  and 
Pete  Willmott.  Richie  Kagan  and 
Chuck  Dunkle  are  third  ba.semen 
with  Tom  King.sley,  Bob  McAlaine 
and  Kit  Steele  out  for  ,shortstop, 
Tom  Harris,  Buzz  Van  Sant. 
George  Dangerfield  and  Fred  Mi- 
ley  will  compete  for  the  keystone 
position  while  Phil  Brown  or  Bill 
Hedeman  will   play  first.

Walt  Shipley  Captain 


Thursday,  April  12  -  Tonight 
at  tile  annual  basketball  ban- 
quet it  was  announced  that  bir 
Walt  Shipley  has  been  chusen 
captain  uf  the  1956-57  Williams 
varsUy  squad.  A  regular  on  this 
season's  quintet,  the  towering 
6'  7"  junior  was  one  of  the 
mainstays  of  Coach  Al  Shaw's 
team,  which  compiled  a  fine 
13-G  record.  Operating  out  of 
the  center  position,  he  was  one 
uf  the  Ephs'  leading  scorers  and 
ranked  second  in  team  rebound- 
ing. 

Shipley  was  at  his  best  in  the 
important  Little  Three  games, 
scoring  84  points  in  the  four 
league  games  tor  a  21  point-per- 
game  average.  He  was  particu- 
larly brilliant  in  the  two  victor- 
ies over  Wesleyan,  scoring  his 
season  high  of  28  points  down 
at  Middletown  and  collecting  22 
against  the  Cardinals  in  Lasell 
Gym.  Shipley  also  paced  the 
Purple  attack  in  both  Amherst 
games.

was  seeing  some  of  his  former 
wrestlers  visiting  him  again, 
"We're  all  friends,"  he  comments 
with  a  smile. 

No   Change 

Interestingly  enough,  he  has 
seen  little  change  in  the  sport 
over  the  years  as  far  as  the  men 
themselves  are  concerned.  The 
rules  have  changed,  he  pointed 
out,  "but  the  men  are  just  the 
same  now  as  then". 

No  special  team  or  occasion 
stands  out  in  his  mind  because 
"we've  had  a  lot  of  darn  good 
wrestlers  and  a  lot  of  darn  good 
teams  here  in  the  past  32  years." 
he  states.  Starting  with  his  first

New  England  AAU  147-pound 
class  championships.  right 
through  to  this  year.  Bullock  has 
turned  out  dozens  of  top-flight 
teams  and  wrestlers. 

Outstanding  Record 

The  records  show  that  Bullock's 
consistent  teams  have  won  13  out 
of  25  Little  Three  Titles,  three 
firsts  and  four  seconds  in  10  New 
England  Association  competitions 
and.  through  the  seasons,  have 
taken  99  and  lost  only  76  dual 
meets. 

In  his  undergraduate  days  at 
Springfield  College.  Bullock  won 
letters  in  four  sports,  football, 
track,  swimming,  and  wrestling. 
Upon  graduating,  he  came  here 
in  1924  where  he  immediately  took 
over  as  lacrosse,  wrestling,  and 
soccer  coach. 

Lacrosse  New 

Lacrosse  was  new  here  then, 
few  of  his  early  team  members 
having  any  previous  experience, 
Bullock  started  the  sport  on  a 
club  basis  before  beginning  inter- 
collegiate competition  in  1928,  He 
continued  as  coach  for  five  years. 
Incidentally,  the  first  real  la- 
crosse game  he  ever  saw  was  his 
team's  opener  against  Union  in 
1928. 

"Uncle  Ed",  as  he  is  inevitably 
called  by  his  "boys",  started  and 
then  headed  soccer  for  25  sea-

of  New  England  Wrestling  coaches

Saturday.  Apr,  14  -  For  the  first 
time  in  several  years,  the  order 
of  class  warning  reception  has 
most  b?en  altered.  With  reports  from 
iliree  professors  outstanding,  the 
sophomores  lead  the  college  in 
number  of  students  warned,  the 
percentage  warned,  and  the  total 
number  of  warnings.  The  Class  of 
'53  was  the  only  class  to  experi- 
"nce  a  rise  in  the  percentage 
warned  over  last  semester.  The 
freshman  percentage  took  a  big 
drop  while  the  juniors  and  sen- 
iors remained  relatively  the  same. 

The  course  that  produced  the 
most  warnings  was  Poll,  Sci  2, 
37  mid-semester  warnings  were 
issued,  26  in  the  Freshman  class. 
Geology  2  was  the  second  most 
common  stumbling  block.  The 
DPhomores  received  25  of  the  33 
given  out.

before  he  arrived,  but  there  was 
no  schedule.  Thus  he  holds  the 
distinction  of  coaching  the  first 
Williams  teams  ever  fielded  in 
three  major  sports, 

PT   Department 

He  became  chairman  of  the 
Physical  Training  Department  in 
1937,  which,  among  other  things, 
is  a  heavily  administrative  job. 
When  the  Navy  V-5  and  V-12 
programs  were  on  campus  during 
the  war,  Bullock  also  taught 
wrestling  classes  eight  hours  a 
day  while  continuing  his  coach- 
ing duties. 

Bullock  stresses  that  he  will 
continue  in  his  other  important 
functions  of  PT  department  chair- 
man and  heading  both  the  intra- 
mural program  and  ticket  sales 
for  all  home  athletic  contests.  It 
was  the  press  of  these  other  du- 
ties which  prompted  his  resigna- 
tion as  coach. 

He  is  married  with  two  children, 
one  of  whom,  Steve,  is  now  a 
student  at  Williams,  Modest  and

and  trying  to  teach  them  all  the 
wrestling  we  know.  And  I  honest-

the  boys."

Adelphic  Union  Holds  Panel  on  U.  S.  World  Policy; 
Ho,  Klatte,  Lanvin,  Parmar,  Wohabe  Present  Talks 


Wednesday,  Apr,  11  -  Five  for- 
eign students  from  areas  circling 
more  than  half  the  globe  gave 
their  views  of  the  current  inter- 
national situation  this  evening  in 
an  Adelphic  Union  panel  discus- 
sion entitled  "American  Foreign 
Policy,  1956  A  World  View",  The 
discussion  was  moderated  by  Fred 
Greene  of  the  Political  Science  de- 
partment. 

The  five  student  panelists  were, 
from  East  to  West,  Chien  Ho 
(Hong  Kongi;  Jud  Parmar  (In- 
dia): Abdul  Wohabe  (Saudi  Ara- 
bia); Klaus  Klatte  (Germany): 
and  Bernard  Lanvin  (France), 
Each  panelist  gave  a  five  minute 
speech  examining  the  worth  of 
America's  policy  of  containment, 
or  opposition  to  Communist  ex- 
tension, which  the  U,S,.  has  pur- 
sued for  the  last  decade. 

Germans  Want  Unity 

Klatte  started  the  evening  oft 
with  the  emphatic  declaration 
that  Germimy  desires  reunifica- 
tion. He  noted  that,  while  Ger- 
mans want  neither  war  nor  com- 
munization,  the  desire  for  reuni- 
fication increases  the  danger  of 
both.  The  longer  the  Russians 
control  East  Germany,  the  more 
cliance  there  is  of  a  Communist 
indoctrination.  The  longer  West 
Germany  has  to  wait,  the  more 
liable  it  is  to  fall  into  the  hands 
of    "extreme    national    groups".

Lanvin,  who  spoke  next,  dealt 
with  U,S,  relations  with  France  as 
they  concern  the  North  African 
situation.  He  said  that  in  France 
Iheie  is  "the  strong  conviction 
that  the  U.S,  should  help  in  keep- 
ing Asia  from  aiding  Colonial 
France".  He  .said  that  U.S.  com- 
mitments to  Fi-ance  should  nol 
end  "at  the  north  shore  of  the 
Mediterranean". 

Asia  Answers 

Wohabe  next  gave  the  Arab 
viewpoint.  He  said  that  Tunisia 
and  Morocco  had  fought  for  their 
independence  and  that  Algeria 
will  fight,  it  necessary,  to  gain 
hers.  He  dealt  mainly  with  the 
Arab-Israel  question,  ob,servlng 
that  the  Arab  viewpoint  has  been 
denied  a  fair  hearing  in  the  U,S., 
partially  because  of  the  existence 
of  strong  Zionist  groups  heie. 

He  said  the  Arabs  made  the 
main  concession  in  1948  when  they 
admitted  the  existence  of  an  Is- 
raelite state.  Since  then,  he  noted, 
Israel  has  crossed  the  original 
boundaries,  tormented  Arab  re- 
fugees, and  been  "aggressive". 
Peace  can  come,  according  to  Wo- 
habe. if  Israel  is  willing  to  make 
concessions. 


Parmar  stated  tliat  the  central 
aim  of  India  today  is  to  remain 
neutral  at  all  costs.  This  is  why 
India  would  rather  accept  loans 
fi'om  toi-eign  powers  than  grants. 
India,  he  oliserved.  is  strongly 
anti-communist  and  desirous  nl 
maintaining  its  Independenci . 
"We  cannot  and  will  nol  go  inio 
an  alliance, "  he  concluded. 

Ho.  speaking  from  a  Chinese  - 
English  viewpoint,  noted  that  thi> 
increasing  isolation  of  Red  Chin  i 
only  serves  to  ally  it  more  closelv 
with  Ru.ssia.  He  also  spoke  of  Ja- 
pan, saying  thai  Japan  realiz'  , 
that  it  "can't  depend  upon  U., 
aid  forever,"  and  must,  as  a  ma  - 
lei-  of  pride,  get  on  its  own  two 
feet.  One  method  would  be  I  ; 
opening  up  trade  with  Red  Chin  .

Definilions 

Philosophy,  said  Dr.  Tillicli,  is 
roncerned  with  "the  riddle  of  the 
nature  of  beinB".  Becau.se  it  can- 
not answer  thi.s  riddle,  it  catc- 
iiorizes  the  different  realms  of 
l)C'inM  into  .such  divisions  as  poli- 
lics.  eihics.  and  aesthetics.  It.s 
method  is  rational,  and  iUs  lan- 
^iiaRC  conceptual.  includiiiK  such 
words  as  "apace",  "time"  and  ".jus- 
tice". 

Religion,  according  to  Dr.  Till- 
ich.  does  not  necessarily  include 
an  acceptance  of  the  existence  of 
Ciod.  and  the  organized  church  is 
only  a  .special  part  of  religion.  The 
religious  function,  which  Dr.  Till- 
ich  defines  as  the  "ultimate  con- 
cern" upon  which  one'.s  life  de- 
pends, is  present  in  variou.s  forms 
in  all  men  and  in  all  parts  of  life. 

The  languaKC  of  relitiion  is  myth 
and  .symbol.  Because  the  ullimale 
cannot  be  expressed  within  the 
linite  contents  of  the  mind,  .such 
words  a.s  "space",  "time",  and 
"justice"  are  only  symbols  when 
applied  to  religion.  They  point  to 
.something  beyond  the  meanintj  of 
the  word  itself. 

Such  phrases  as  "the  Son  of 
God"  cannot  be  given  an  ordinary, 
literal  meaning  because  they  are 
.symbolic.  "Most  misunderstand- 
ings of  religion,"  .said  Dr.  Tillich. 
"are  derived  from  the  fact  that 
ordinary  and  .symbolic  language 
are  confused." 

If  held  within  these  definitions, 
religion  and  philosophy  do  no! 
conflict. 

Conflicts 

But.  Dr.  Tillich  observed,  there 
has  been  a  conflict  between  reli- 
gion and  philosophy  in  Western 
thought.  This  has  ari.scn  from 
misunderstandings  on  both  sides.

Wednesday,  Apr.  18  -  "The  Sky- 
.scraper,"  a  61  panel  story  of  the 
evolution  of  the  city  skyscraper, 
is  now  on  exhibition  in  the  Law- 
rence An  Museum.  Thi.s  fine  dis- 
play will  last  only  llirougli  Sun- 
day. April  22.  From  April  24  to 
May  10.  the  mu.seum  will  present 
a  show  entitled  "Pioneers  of  A- 
merican  Abstract  Ait."  an  exhibi- 
tion originated  by  The  American 
Federation   of   Arts. 

The  present  show  is  a  collection 
of  photographic  enlargements, 
plans,  diagrams,  and  a  text  of  in- 
formation. It  begins  with  the  first 
real  constructional  u.se  of  iron  in 
1789.  and  tiaces  the  growth  of 
iron  and  steel  architecture  up  to 
the  1880's.  when  a  group  of  Chi- 
cago architects  introduced  tlie 
sk.v.scraper.  Culminating  the  show 
are  enlarged  photographs  of  twen- 
tieth-century skyscrapers  and  a 
plan  for  a  modern  .skyscraper  city, 
designed  to  end  the  destitution  of 
the  modern  industrial  cities. 

Exhibit   in    Abstraction 

The  new  exhibit  is  a  collection 
of  paintings  from  the  first  quar- 
ter of  this  century.  It  shows  how 
the  American  artists  of  the  peri- 
od not  only  expressed  their  own 
individuality  in  painting,  but  also 
responded  to  the  American  en- 
vironment. The  emphasis  on  dy- 
namics and  machines,  the  preoc- 
cupation with  movement  of  forms, 
is  especially  significant  in  the 
American  development  of  ab- 
straction.

Adelphic  Orators 
Win  Over  Rivals 
In  Close  Contest 


Phillips,  Struthers  Lead 
Eph  Squad  to  Trophy 
In  Little  Three  Tourney 


By  John  Phillips 

Saturday.  Apr,  14  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  debators  returned 
from  Amheist  today  as  winners  of 
the  Little  Three  Debating  Tour- 
nament. The  (luartet  of  forensic 
enthusiasts  was  tied  with  the  Lord 
Jeffs  for  first  place,  but  won  the 
trulihy  on  the  basis  of  points. 

Debating  the  national  topic  of 
the  Guaranteed  Annual  Wage,  tlie 
Williams  affirmative  team,  com- 
lio.sed  of  .sophomore  Dave  Phillips 
and  freshman  John  Struthers, 
emerged  with  victories  over  both 
Little  Three  Rivals. 

Points  Brinfr  Trophy 

Joe  Liebowitz  '57  and  Mark  Le- 
venstein  '57  made  up  the  negative 
.squad  which  defeated  Wesleyan. 
but  droiipod  a  elo.se  match  to  Am- 
herst. 

Since  the  Wesleyan  team  was 
unable  to  record  a  single  victory 
the  final  standings  showed  the 
Williams  forces  deadlocked  with 
the  Lord  Jeffs  at  three  wins  and 
one  lo.ss  apiece.  The  affirmative 
team's  conclusive  victory  over 
Wesleyan  gave  Williams  a  nine- 
point  margin  in  the  point  totals, 
and  the  trophy  followed  accord- 
ingly. 

Close    Decisions 

Debates  are  .scored  on  a  25- 
point  basis  for  each  speaker,  a 
perfect  score  being  obtained  only 
through  receipt  of  a  superior  rat- 
ing in  each  of  five  categories.  All 
deoates  in  this  tourney  were  very 
close,  with  one  or  two  points  often 
separating    the    two    teams, 

Wesleyan  teams  have  won  the 
trophy  for  the  past  two  years,  and 
would  have  gained  permanent  pos- 
session if  they  had  triumphed  a- 
gain  yesterday.

letin and  a  pamphlet  of  photo- 
graphs of  Parents'  Day  to  parents 
in  the  hope  of  establishing  closer 
parent-college  ties.

Ex  First  Lady  Observes 
Qualities  of  Stevenson 


Sunday.  Apr.  15  -  Before  a  full 
house  tonight  in  the  Pittsfield 
High  School,  Mrs,  Eleanor  Roose- 
velt delivered  a  most  eloquent  ad- 
dress supporting  the  candidacy  of 
Adlai  Stevenson.  The  former  First 
Lady  of  the  Land  told  the  Ste- 
venson Rally  crowd  that  their 
candidate  possessed  the  "sympa- 
thetic understanding  and  respon- 
sibility of  leadership"  which  make 
him  tlie  finest  choice  any  party 
can  offer. 

Being  quite  familiar  with  the 
United  Nations,  Mrs.  Roosevelt 
was  qualified  in  observing  Mr. 
Stevenson's  work  as  a  writer  of 
the  original  UN  Charter  and  later 
in  his  associations  with  that  or- 
ganization. She  noted,  in  touring 
the  world  shortly  after  Stevenson 
in  1953,  the  enthusiasm  and  re- 
.spect  the  leaders  of  the  various 
nations  had  for  the  defeated  can- 
didate. "He  went  out  to  try  to 
find  out  what  the  truth  of  the 
situation  was"  and  for  this  rea- 
son he  is  "so  able  to  take  stands 
on  the  issues  that  arise". 

Turning  to  the  domestic  side. 
Mrs.  Roosevelt  humorously  wished 
that  Mr.  Stevenson  would  not  be 
so  intellectually  honest  especially 
during  primary  elections.  "He  tells 
us  the  things  he  worries  about" 
while  other  candidates  are  more 
inclined  to  leave  delicate  ques- 
tions unanswered.  Referring  to 
Stevenson,  Mrs.  Roosevelt  observ- 
ed that  "it  takes  integrity  and 
courage  to  tell  people  what  you 
really  believe  and  not  to  make 
promises  which  you  know  cannot 
be  carried  out". 


receive  an  opportunity  to  become 
a  member  of  a  fraternity.  The  me- 
chanics of  such  a  system  would 
be  worked  out  in  the  future  by  the 
house   presidents. 

Future  Discussion 

The  CC-SC  group  decided  to 
discuss  the  Gargoyle  proposal  fur- 
ther at  some  future  meeting,  and 
to  submit  the  Rushing  Report  to 
the  houses  without  the  Gargoyle 
proposal. 

Dean  Brooks  suggested  several 
minor  changes  in  the  Rushing  Re- 
port which  were  adopted.  He  com- 
plemented the  Rushing  Committee 
and  its  chairman,  Richard  Repp, 
for  submitting  what  he  termed  "a 
magnificent  and  sophisticated  do- 
cument". 

Three    Fold    Purpose 

According  to  Dick  Repp  '57. 
Chairman  of  the  Rushing  Com- 
mittee, the  present  report  was  de- 
signed for  a  three  fold  purpose. 
First,  the  committee  felt  that  the 
new  plan  would  be  effective  in 
eliminating  two  major  causes  of 
illegal  rushing.  These  are  too 
large  or  too  small  groups  in  the 
preferential  and  sub-preferential 
periods  and  pressure  on  the  sopho- 
more to  secure  his  position.  The 
present  report  eliminates  the  for- 
mer by  placing  a  quota  on  these 
periods. 

The  latter  is  avoided  in  the  new- 
plan   by    letting    both    the    house 
and  the  sophomore  know  how  they 
tand  right  after  the  first  period 
of  rushing.  The  sophomore  is  in 

better   position    to   resist   dirty 
rushing   since   he   knows   how   he 
stands,  and  a  great  deal  of  temp- 
tation is  removed  from  the  houses. 
Second  Objective 

The  second  major  objective  of 
the  present  ru.shing  report  is  to 
avoid  stratification  of  the  houses. 
Under  the  system  of  deferred 
rushing,  houses  have  tended  to

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


Editor  a  Note: 

The  REC'ORD  hcUcics  thai  a  chaiific  in  altitude  towards  Ru.sh- 
iiifi  is  of  just  as  <s,rt'at  iiiiportancc  as  ami  alteration  icithiii  the

heation  of  the  foUoicini^  hotter  iiniil  lite  present  time. 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

A.s  is  fittiiiir.  thi'  new  C'ollcp'  Council  i.s  liiiiiiiii;  its  attciitioii 
to\v:iitl  the  ])i()l)l('m  ot  nisliiiiu;,  ;iii(l  in  its  c'iKk';i\c)rs  to  find  a  solu- 
tion I  wish  it  i'\i'rv  hope  ol  success.  \vt.  il  the  students  ilo  not 
choose  to  coopeiate,  no  set  of  rules  will  hi'  effective.  For  the  fault 
lies  not  with  the  rules,  hnt  with  the  institutions  and  men  who  are 
siip]5osed  to  follow  tlieni.  (x)nsider  the  situation:  there  are  inaiii- 
lold  and  flajrran  violations  of  a  siirnecl  ai^reeinent  to  ahitle  hv  tin 
riisliinir  rennlations.  Bv  reasonings  ol  the  most  specious  kind  these 
breaches  of  honor  are  condoned,  evr'ii  commended,  in  the  name 
of  "the  house",  and  after  a  harj^ainini;  session  in  which  the  pres- 
cribed ]K'iialties  are  placed  in  abevance,  eit;ht  houses  confess.  Now, 
havinj.;  h)iind  that  "the  price  is  riyht '.  some  houses  are  plamiinij; 
another  dirty  rush. 

iSensiiHj;  this  attitude,  some  campus  opinion  has  lu'Him  to  ad- 
vocate a  relaxation  of  the  rules.  To  be  sure,  a  stricter  set  or  the 
adoption  ol  the  honor  svsteni  is  ont  of  the  (|nestion.  since  the  stn- 
deiits  have  already  made  a  bnrles(|ne  ot  rnles  and  a  travesty  ol 
honor.  But  this  wholesale  jettison  of  order,  advanced  on  pretexts 
such  as  "what  is  fonl  |)lay  here  is  fair  play  elsewhere",  or  "the  pres- 
sures bnilt  op  onsrht  somehow  to  he  alleviated",  is  both  cowardly 
and  dangerous.  1  wisli,  therefore,  to  call  attention  to  the  crooki'd 
rcasoninij  which  underlies  the  niovemi'iit  and  snu;<i;est  a  more  con- 
structive approach. 

7'()  (ihrof'ate  the  rules  I)eeause  then  are  broken  is  to  neiiiite 
moraliltj  and,  hi/  suceunibinf^  to  the  up]Htrent  euuses  of  violation, 
to  divert  attention  from  the  real  ones.  If  onr  system  were  wroni; 
in  principle,  there  vvonld  be  a  case  for  altering  it;  but  the  principles 
upon  winch  it  is  based  are  jrood  ones;  they  are  to  provide  order, 
to  give  everyone  an  eipial  opportnnitv.  to  minimize  bv  a  relatively 
short  span  strain  atid  animosity,  and  to  protect  the  rnshee  from 
havint;  to  commit  himself  in  any  way  before  he  has  had  a  chance 
to  look  carefully  at  all  the  hoiiso's  he  wishes  to.  .\nv  system  of  open 
communication,  on  the  other  hand,  will  iiiev  itablv  place  strains  up- 
on the  rnshee.  lie  will  feel  forced  to  resijond  to  a  house's  advances, 
and  if  he  is  open  rushed  by  more  than  one  house  he  will  feel  some- 
what bewildered  and  confused.  There  is  nothing,  furthermore,  to 
prevent  the  houses  from  double-crossins^  him  at  any  time.  The 
houses  themselves  will  have  to  s])end  more  time  o|)en  rushinj^ 
sophs,  and  since  the  soph  will  be  discourasred  from  electing  his 
first  choice  if  it  did  not  open  rush  him  and  others  did,  all  houses 
will  have  to  stage  an  open  rush  or  lo.se  out  in  the  competition. 
What  chaos  that  will  bel 

No,  Sir,  the  answer  does  not  lie  in  a  tightening  or  relaxation 
of  the  rules;  it  lies  in  the  elimination  of  the  apparent  cause  of 
dirty  rushing,  these  "pressures",  by  a  revision  of  the  nature  of 
fraternities  themselves.  There  is  much  hypocritical  concern  on  the 
part  of  the  "bigger"  houses  for  the  welfare  of  the  "smaller"  ones, 
hypocritical  because  all  the  while  the  big  ones  are  intent  on  get- 
ting all  the  "good  men".  Their  attitude  camiot  be  otherwise,  for 
neither  the  bigger  houses  nor  die  siualler  ones  have  hit  on  a  con- 
structive method  of  building  a  fraternity.  Thanks  to  their  prestige, 
the  bigger  houses  have  dieir  choice  of  men,  which  they  exploit  to 
select  a  homogenous  grouji.  The  siualler  houses  have  accepted 
the  um'maginative  values  of  the  bigger  ones  and  becau.se  they 
have  not  been  able  to  procinc  a  homogenous  group  they  account 
themselves  failures.  This  attitude,  however,  is  pure  foolishness 
for  what  is  constructive  in  the  bigger  bouses'  picking  a  group  ol 
members  who  already  conform?  It  is  rather  an  institution  which 
can  take  diverse  |iersons  and  form  them  into  a  living  body  that  has 
achieved  a  work  of  constructive  social  statesmanshi]).  You  wi" 
never  make  a  "weak"  house  "strong"  sim|)ly  by  forcing  men  into 
it;  you  must  devise  an  effective  formula  for  corporate  existence. 

But  how,  you  ask,  does  all  this  effect  rushing,  and  where 
should  one  look  to  find  such  a  hirmnla?  It  affects  rushing  in  this 
manner,  if  a  bouse  knows  it  can  constitute  itself  a  fraternity  with 
any  groti])  of  men,  getting  solely  "top"  men  is  no  longer  the  es- 
sential it  used  to  be.  (;oni|5lementarily,  from  the  so])h  standjioint 
making  "the"  house  is  a  matter  of  less  concern  if  he  is  convinced 
that  in  any  house  he  will  find  a  rich  and  satisfying  group  exjieri 
ence.  Hushing  becomes  less  cutthroat,  the  men  who  set  the  toni 
for  a  fraternity  can  be  spread  around,  and  total  opportunity  is  a 
practical  possibility  instead  of  the  spectre  it  is  now  thought  by 
some  to  be. 

1  cannot,  of  course.  ))rovide  the  <'xact  formula  —  it  tnnst  be 
worked  out  by  the  houses  themselves;  but  I  think  that  the  solution 
will  be  based  on  a  little  more  maturity  on  the  part  of  the  students, 
as  evidenced  in  a  mutual  appreciation  of  each  other's  character. 
Why  should  wo  not  ac(|uire,  along  with  a  liberal  education,  a  re- 
spect for  tlie  depth  of  the  human  spirit  and  the  essential  dignity 
of  human  nature?  The  other  fellow  is  not  a  "thing",  he  is  a  living 
soul,  fully  as  responsive  and  sensitive  to  the  course  of  life  as  one's 
self.  In  the  ideal  fraternity  the  athlete  and  the  intellectual  (to  use 
two  temperaiuent  types),  sharing  the  basic  nature  and  aspirations 
of  men.  will  learn  to  ajipreciate  what  each  has  to  offer,  to  the  in- 
coiuparable  enrichment  of  both  their  lives.  I  firmly  believe.  Sir, 
that  when  we  find  that  what  we  have  in  coinmon  is  far  greater 
than  what  separates  us.  th<'  diversity  of  personality  which  now 
handicaps  the  fraternity  will  bpcoine  its  greatest  asset. 

Yours  sincerely, 
T.  Price  ZimmoriTinn

1.  The  use  of  the  I'ost  Hushing  (;oinmiltee  undei  the  O'lirieii 
plan  shoukl  he  contiinied  iuid  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  assure  its  success,  (i.  e.  all  those  nisln'cs  not  to  receive  a 
supper  invitation  after  the  bounce  session  shall  be  consid- 
ered by  the  houses  befori'  the  supper  invitations  are  issuetl.) 

2.  The  College  (Council  and  Social  Council  shoukl  make  ev- 
ery ellort  to  secure  ii  public  agri'ement  from  the  houses, 
through  the  house  presidents,  that  I'vcrv  rnsh<'e  will  i<'- 
ceive  a  supper  invitation.  I'his  ;igreem<'nt  slutll  be  opi'riitive

Rounec  Session  -  The  Ixnuice  sessions,  ol  which  there  aie 
two  imder  the  iiroposed  system,  are  designed  to  match  up  the 
preferences  of  tlie  houses  and  the  Sophs.  If  a  cert;iin  house  h  s 
more  sophomores  inteiested  in  it  than  it  can  lake  by  Ihe  <|ii(il;i 
system,  there  Ikis  to  be  ;i  method  of  (hopping  the  lowest  sophs  i.i, 
that  house's  list  to  the  houses  vvhieli  ;ire  next  on  their  list.  A  sopl.,,. 
more  bounces  down  his  list  of  houses  until  he  sticks  in  one  ol  thei  ,, 
or  bounces  out. 

Ihider  the  proposed  system,  there  is  ;in  iiiili;il  bouiH'c  sessii  ri 
after  the  end  of  the  first  section  of  rnshing.  M  this  point,  the  lions,  s

The  final  boiince  session  is  designed  to  correlate  the  linal  b,.|

to  adjust  once  ;iiid  for  all  who  ends  up  in  what  house.  I''r;ilerniiv 
representatives  will  be  present  at  this  session. 

I'ref.  Period,  Suh-Pref.  Period,  and  Refi,iilar  Period  Rids  -  The 
second  phase  of  rushing  consists  of  six  periods  during  which  tin! 
.sophomores  return  to  six  of  the  houses  for  ;i  second  look.  The  sch  •- 
diile  of  houses  a  rnshee  will  visit  will  have  been  delermined  I  v 
tlie  initial  bounce  session.  The  hist  of  these  periods  is  called  'Pre;  .

THK  MANY  LOVKS 
OF  THORWALl)  DOCKSTADER 

When  Thorvviilil  Dockstader- sophomore,  epicure,  and  .sports- 
man-first  took  up  sniokiiitr,  he  iliil  not  simply  choose  the  first 
brand  of  citrarettos  that  came  to  hand.  N'o.  indeed'  He  did  what 
any  sojihoniore,  epicure,  and  sportsman  would  do:  he  sampled 
several  hrand.s  and  then  picked  the  trentlost,  tastiest,  most 
thumpinxiy,  vvondroualy,  unfailingly  pleasing  of  all  —  Philip 
Miu'ris,  of  corris ! 

Similarly,  when  Thorvvald  Dockstader  took  up  girls,  he  did 
not  simjily  select  the  first  one  who  came  along.  No,  indeed! 
Thorvvald  samiileil.  lie  took  out  several  likely  girls  and  then  he 
compared  their  charms  and  then  he  made  his  choice. 

His  first  date  was  with  an  English  lit  major  named  Elizaljeth 
Barrett  Grish,  a  wisp  of  a  girl  with  luminous  eyes  and  a  soul 
that  shimmered  with  a  pale,  unearthly  beauty.  Trippingly, 
trippingly,  she  walked  with  Thorvvald  upon  the  beach  and  sat 
with  him  behind  a  windward  dune  and  listened  to  a  sea  shell 
and  sighed  sweetly  and  took  out  a  little  gold  pencil  and  a  little 
morocco  notebook  and  wrote  a  little  poem: 

/  will  tic  tipon  the  shore, 
1  will  he  a  dreamer. 
I  will  feci  the  sea  mice  more 
Pounding  on  my  femur. 

Thorwald's  second  date  was  with  a  physical  ed  major  named 
Peaches  Glendower,  a  broth  of  a  girl  with  a  ready  smile  and  a 
size  18  neck.  She  took  Thorvvald  down  to  the  cinder  track  where 
they  jogged  around  thirty  or  forty  times  to  open  up  the  pores. 


.7fieyjo(ic^edciraati<f  SO"!-/^  times  to  opeau.pttiepOr£S'' 


Then  they  played  four  games  of  squash,  six  sets  of  tennis,  36 
holes  of  golf,  nine  innings  of  one-o-cat,  four  periods  of  rugger, 
six  chukkers  of  lacro.sse,  and  a  mile  and  a  quarter  of  leap  frog. 
Then  they  worked  out  for  a  few  hours  on  the  parallel  bars,  the 
flying  rings,  and  the  bongo  board,  and  then  went  ten  rounds 
with  the  eight-ounce  gloves.  Then  they  had  heaping  bowls  of 
bran  and  whey,  exchanged  a  manly  handshake,  and  went  home 
to  their  respective  whirlpool  baths. 

Thorwald's  final  date  was  with  a  golden-haired,  creamy-browed, 
green-eyed,  red-lipped,  full-calved  girl  named  Totsi  McEstway. 
Totsi  was  not  majoring  in  anything.  As  she  often  said,  "Gee 
whillikers,  what's  college  for  anyhow  -  to  fill  your  head  full  of 
morbid  old  facts,  or  to  discover  the  shining  e.ssence  that  is 
YOU?" 

Totsi  started  the  evening  with  Thorwald  at  a  luxurious  res- 
taurant where  she  consumed  her  own  weight  in  Cornish  rock 
hen.  From  there  they  went  to  a  de  luxe  movie  palace  where  Toisi 
had  popcorn  with  butter  and  a  bag  of  chocolate  covered  raisins 
-  also  with  butter.  Then  they  went  to  a  costly  ballroom  and 
cha-cha'u  till  dawn,  tipping  the  band  wildly  all  the  while.  Then 
they  went  to  a  Chinese  restaurant  where  totsi,  unable  to  deci- 
pher the  large  and  baffling  menu,  solved  her  problem  by  order- 
ing one  of  everything.  Then  Thorwald  took  her  to  the  women's 
dorm,  boosted  her  in  the  window,  and  went  downtown  to  wait 
for  the  Morris  Plan  office  to  open. 

While  waiting,  Thorwald  thought  over  all  of  his  girls  and 
came  to  a  decision.  "It  is  clear,"  said  Thorwald,  "that  I  am  not 
yet  ready  for  girls."  "It  is  equally  clear,"  he  continued,  "that 
a  man  needs  a  gentle  companion,  and  who,"  he  asked,  "will  be 
my  gentle  companion?"  "Why,  PHILIP  MORRIS,  of  corris," 
he  answered.  "Philip  Morris  will  be  my  tender  comrade,  my 
solace  and  my  strength,  my  friend  in  adversity,  my  shelter  in 
vici.ssitude,  my  boon  and  bosom  buddy,"  and,  so  saying,  Thor- 
wald lit  a  PHILIP  MORRIS  and  was  content.       «,>...  8hu,».n,  i«.

Wednesday,  April  18  -  (aiII  c(/acli  Dick  lia.sler,  who  is  also 
the  professional  at  the  Tacom'c  (Jolf  Clonrse,  expects  a  ^ood  season 
loi_  this  year.  Roistered  by  hair  lettermen.  the  sipiad  opens  its 
19o(J  campaign  here  against   Yale  on  April  .50. 

Co-captains  Randy  Carey  and  jack  Chapman  aloiij^  with  Rill 
Chapman  hirmed  the  core  ol  last  year's  team  which  compiled  a 
9-1  record.  The  s((iiad  will  be  strenjithened  hv  Mor^  Coleman,  who 
relnined  Irom  the  service  this  year.  Rehire  his  military  duty,  (ailc- 
inan  was  a  rcsriilar  on  the  team.  Last  year  (;arey  was  switched  be-

fourtli  .slots. 


Seven   Starters   Needed 

Coach  Baxter  di.sclo.sed  that 
llii.s  year  all  matches  will  be  in 
the  form  of  .seven  twosomes  in- 
stead of  the  traditional  three 
foursomes.  Used  by  most  eastern 
colleges,  the  new  system  creates 
faster  matches  and  enlarges  the 
si|Uad. 

AloiiK  with  veterans  Tink 
Campbell,  Jack  Jakubowski  and 
Bruce  Lockhart,  five  members  of 
last  year's  freshman  team  will 
compete  for  the  remaining  three 
starting  berths.  The  .sophomore 
candidates  are  Pete  French,  John 
Boyd,  Phil  Rideout.  Rob  Foster, 
and  Jack  Laeri. 

Journey   to  North   Carolina 

Although  the  team  played  no 
matches  on  its  spring  trip,  Coach 
Baxter  says  the  results  were  en- 
couraging. Most  of  the  varsity 
played  in  the  70's  over  the  Pine 
Valley.  Pinehurst,  and  Great  Fox 
Lakes  courses  in  North   Carolina. 

Judging  by  appearances  gained 
la.st  fall,  Coach  Baxter  predicts 
that  the  Freshmen  should  have  a 
very  good  season.  Freshmen  Hans 
Halligan,  Bill  Tuach  and  Marriott 
Johnson  accompanied  the  varsity 
on  its  spring  trip,  Sam  Davis,  Bill 
McKown  and  Rick  Marthins  will 
al,so  be  trying  out  for  starting  po- 
sitions when  the  Freshmen  open 
their  season  April  28  at  Exeter,

/;(/  I'aliiwr  Wltitc 
MciUord,  .April  14  -  1'lie  Williams  \arsity  lacrosse  team  lost 
to  Tiilts,  :i-2.  this  altcriiooii.  The  |imibos  came  from  bebiiid  twice 
carl\-  ill  the  (lame  to  tic  the  ,scorc  and  fiiialK'  won  it  when  llarrv 
Dolph  scored  early  'i  the  third  ])eriod.  Hill  Weaver  and  Toiiv 
liriickeliiiaii  ,scored  to.-  the  l'!pbs. 

The  name  was  bard  foin;ht  and  exciliiej;  throui^hout,  .\ltlioiii;li 
the  I'.pli  defense  and  inid-liclders  played  i;ood  lacrosse,  the  attack 
was  weak,  due  to  the  fact  that  tlic  |)ractice  sessions  have  been 
\(r\-    limited    all    Sprint^.     Williams    Coach    |im    ()stciidar|)    coni- 

'^mented:    "we   had   everything   we 

needed  to  win   except  a   polished 
scoring   punch". 

Ephs  Score  First 

Weaver  opened  the  scoring  foi' 
Williams  when  he  look  a  pass 
from  Rog  Southall  and  tallied  at 
11:04  of  the  fir,st  period.  The 
strong  Williams  defense  of  Jim 
Smith,  Joe  Perrott  and  Tony  Fer- 
gueson  held  Tufts  scoreless 
throughout  the  first  period.  Bob 
Shaw  broke  the  scoring  ice  for  the 
Jumbos  with  an  unassisted  goal 
at  2:15  of  the  .second  period, 

Brockelman  scored  on  a  long 
.shot  at  6:11  of  the  .second  period 
to  put  Williams  back  in  the  lead. 
With  time  ruirning  out  in  the  half. 
Bill  Spungin  of  Tufts  tied  the 
score  at  2-2,  flipping  an  unassi,st- 
ed  shot  past  Eph  goalie  Buster 
Smith  at   12:15. 

Conditioning    The    Difference 

Williams  clearly  outpla.ved  Tuf  t.s 
in  the  first  half.  In  the  third 
quarter,  however.  Tufts  displayed 
the  advantages  of  having  a  field 
house  for  spring  practice.  Their 
offensive  plays  were  better  de- 
veloped and  they  appeared  to  be 
in  better  condition  than  the  Eph 
squad. 

Dolph  scored  the  winning  goal 
for  the  Jumbos  at  3:32  of  the 
third  period.  Williams  fought  back 
hard  throughout  the  remainder  of 
the  game  but  could  not  score. 
Weaver  nearly  pulled  the  trick  in 
the  final  period,  but  his  shot  car- 
omed off  the  goal  post. 

Eph    Spirit    Good 

So  fai'  this  year,  the  Eph  .Sopho- 
mores and  Varsity  veterans  have 
played  on  separate  units,  the  rea- 
son being  that  there  has  not  been 
enough  good  weather  to  mix  them 
effectively.  In  preparation  for 
Harvard  on  April  25,  Coach  Os- 
tendarp  plans  to  combine  the 
groups  and  to  work  particularly 
on  polishing  the  offensive  attack. 

In  summing  up  his  team's  show- 
ing. Ostendarp  expres.sed  his  plea- 
sure over  the  fine  spirit  on  the 
squad:  "They  played  good  lacrosse 
considering  the  lack  of  the  time 
and  space  needed  for  proper  team 
development."  he  added.

WHAT  IS  SOLUTION? 

If  open  coinnuinication  is  not  the  answer,  then  what  is?  The 
conunittee  leels  \ei\  stronnK-  thai  the  answer  does  not  lie  in  anv 
tinkerin<4  uith  the  nieclianies  of  the  sxslein,  but  rather  in  a  re.ili/.a- 
tion  on  the  part  of  the  liaterniti'  itself  that  a  breach  of  honor  is  a 
.serious  maltir.  (wanted,  oni-  s\stein  ol  rnsliiny  is  a  hit;ld\'  competi- 
tive one,  and  a  breach  of  the  rules  f^ovcrnini;  it  is  to  .some  e.vteni 
uuderstandahle.  Because  it  is  understandable  however,  it  is  not 
iiecessariK'  jusliliable.  N'o  amount  ol  rationali/ation  can  remove  tir 
basic  fact  that  a  lailiire  to  conipiv  with  the  rushing  rules  is  a  breach 
of  honor. 

The  plan  of  the  committee  proposed  pre\  ioiisK.  it  is  true,  by 
instituting  a  (|nota  on  the  preferential  anil  sul)-preler<'iilial  periods, 
will  ri'mo\e  (wo  of  the  ontstandini;  causes  lor  dirt\-  iiishint;.  i.  i'., 
the  ti'usions  atteiulant  upon  a  house  ha\  inu;  <'ithei-  an  overcrowded 
or  an  nndercrowded  preferential  period.  The  house  that  wishes  to 
"net  the  jump",  nevertheless,  can  still  do  its  share  of  dirty  rushing 
ill  the  first  |)criod,  tlioni;h  the  motivations  for  this  are  soinevvhat 
less  clear  than  they  ',vere  under  the  pre\  ions  s\'stems. 

It  is  necessary  to  point  out  here,  liowev  er,  that  while  the  plan 
ol  the  coinuiittee  inav  rciiune  some  ol  the  motivation  tor  dirtv 
rushing,  the  simple  adoption  of  a  plan  is  bv  no  means  an  assurance 
that  iulractious  ol  the  rules  will  not  occur.  The  plan  is  bv  no  means 
a  cure-all  and  it  would  be  most  dauijerons  to  think  it  so.  Obvious- 
Iv  what  is  needed  is  some  control  on  the  part  ol  the  Iraternities 
themselves,  hi  maiiv  of  the  cases  last  fall,  dirtv  rushing  was  done 
bv  a  few  individuals  of  the  house  without  the  consent  of  die  rest. 
NaturalK-  most  of  the  house  was  incensed  at  bt'ius^  faced  with  a 
SoOO.OO  fine  as  well  as  the  onus  of  beinij  amoiin  those  who  liac 
dirtv  rushed  because  of  the  actions  of  a  few. 

What  the  coinmittec  would  like  to  recommend  most  stronnlv 
is  that  each  house  |iass  a  resolution  against  dirtv  rnsbinj^  bv  anv 
member  of  the  house,  the  member  who  eni^ancs  in  anv  such  action 
beiufi;  punished  bv  the  lioiise  as  it  sees  fit.  One  house  has  already 
passed  this  plan  unanimously.  No  report  lu'cd  be  made  to  the 
rnsliint;  comniittee  ol  the  institution  of  this  system  by  a  house. 
Ado|)tion  is  purely  voluut.nv.  .\i;;ain,  howcvi'r,  the  committee 
urges  stroni;lv  that  every  house  consider  this  proposal  seriously, 
since  dirty  rnshini;  can  be  controlled  only  if  the  frateriiitit's  thcm- 
.selvcs  take  the  initiative.

become  stratified,  with  some  be- 
comlUK  smaller  and  weaker,  and 
others  larger  and  stronger.  With 
the  new  system  of  quotas  for  the 
preferential  and  sub  preferential 
periods,  the  lower  houses  will  have 
a  blotter  chance  to  secure  a  larger 
number  in  their  pledge  classes, 
since  more  sophomoi'es  will  be  per- 
suaded to  give  the  house  a  second 
look. 

The  third  and  final  measure 
vvhlch  the  Ru.shing  Committee  at- 
enipted  to  encouragf  was  a  move 
-•loser  to  total  opportunity.  This 
:)roblem  was  approached  from  the 
ilandpoint  of  enlai'ging  the  .scope 
jf  the  post  rushing  committee  or 
,;he  O'Brien  Plan  Committee.  This 
group  meets  immediately  after 
■.iisliing  in  order  to  attempt  to  ob- 
tain final  bids  for  sophomores  who 
have  received  none  up  until  that 
time. 

Post  Rushing  ('ommittee 
The  present  plan  calls  for  the 
rushing  committee  to  meet  after 
lushing  to  determine  how  many 
uul  which  hoi:ses  are  in  a  danger- 
j'.is  position  after  the  rush.  All 
houses  determined  to  be  in  such 
a  position  will  be  eligible  to  tender 
final  bids  to  sophomores  through 
the  O'Brien  plan  provided  that  the 
sophomores  have  refused  no  fi- 
nal  bids    previously. 

The  main  change  in  this  re- 
spect is  that  a  sophomore  may  re- 
ceive more  than  one  bid  in  the 
post  rush  if  more  than  one  house 
in  the  danger  zone  wishes  to  of- 
fer him  a  bid.  Under  this  year's 
system,  the  rushee  could  receive 
only  one  bid  through  the  O'Brien 
Committee  and  cither  take  it  or 
leave  it.  After  the  rush  is  over, 
the  usual  ten  day  grace  period 
will  remain  as  u.sual.  and  a  sopho- 
more who  has  received  no  bids 
will  have  the  opportunity  to  be 
picked  up. 


Tillich 


Certain  fundamentalists,  who 
have  interpreted  such  a  myth  as 
the  stoiy  of  Adam  and  Eve  liter- 
ally instead  of  .symbolically,  have 
caased  a  conflict  with  philosophy. 
These  fundamentalists  have  shift- 
ed the  focus  of  religion  away  fi'om 
the  "ultimate  conceiii"  to  a  belief 
in  an  actual  Garden  of  Eden. 

Another  source  of  conflict  is  a 
philosopher's  choice  of  one  of  the 
categories  of  being,  such  as  na- 
tionalism or  economics,  as  his 
ultimate  concern.  Such  manifes- 
tations of  this  choice  as  Nazism 
or  Marxism  are  idolatry,  not  re- 
ligious, for  a  .supei-race.  or  the 
dictatorship  of  the  proletariat  are 
finite  concerns. 

Sermon 

In  his  di.scussion  of  vvi.sdom  in 
Chapel  before  the  talk  at  the 
Congregational  Church,  Dr  Till- 
ich said  that  an  encounter  with 
the  "mystery  of  life"  gives  man 
the  courage  to  accept  his  limita- 
tions, which,  in  turn,  bring  him 
closer  to  wisdom. 


Amherst  Fraternities 
Violate  Rushing  Law 

Wednesday.  Apr.  18  -  -While 
Williams  undergraduates  bring 
forth  voluminous  rushing  re- 
ports in  an  effort  to  bring  a- 
bout  100  per  cent  Pledging  and 
les.s  dirty  ru.shing  in  the  pro- 
cess, reports  from  Amherst, 
where  100  per  cent  pledging 
was  achieved  again  this  year. 
Indicate  that  they  aie  still  hav- 
ing   their    troubles    too. 

Several  fraternities  openly 
admitted,  and  several  others 
strongly  implied,  that  on  the 
afternoon  of  Pledge  Day  they 
had  served  alcoholic  beverages 
to  freshmen.  "The  extreme 
flagrancy  of  the  violations  was 
pointed  up  in  the  ca.ses  of  sev- 
eral freshmen  who  passed  out 
that  afternoon  in  the  houses," 
Further,  Walker  Hall  suffered 
thai  evening  at  the  hands  of 
diunken  freshmen  who  caused 
extensive  damage  while  waiting 
to  fill  out  their  preferential 
cards.

pected  as  Daitmoulli's  Green 
:ey. 

The  old  Key  organization  was 
lisbanded  because  of  its  cumber- 
ome  membership  and  lack  of  in- 
lerest  amonj,'  senior  members.  The 
levitalized  Key  will  be  composed 
olely  of  representatives  from  the 
anlor  class,  instead  of  captains 
ind  mnnauers.  The  size  will  be 
1  educed  from  a  flexible  number  of 
.ibout  thirty  members  to  a  fixed 
.roup  of  twelve.  Members  will  be 
.('Icc.ed  on  the  basis  of  interest 
aid  ability. 

Functions 

The  main  objectives  under  Ihr 
new  con.stltution  will  Ije:  n'  lu 
;;reet  and  entertain  all  repre.'ienla- 
lives  from  other  coUenes  and  in- 
stitutions while  they  are  Kuests  of 
Williams:  bi  to  entertain  other 
visitors  of  the  college  durins  their 
stay  in  WiUiamstown;  ci  to  act 
as  a  liai.son  between  the  athletic 
department  and  the  student  body, 
(ifferint!  and  promolins;  any  ob- 
lective  proposals  for  the  improve- 
ment of  athletics  at  Williams;  and 
ill  to  perform  any  other  services 
for  the  college,  when  deemed  ap- 
propriate by  the  administration 
;uid  the  Key  membership. 

The.se  are  only  the  pa'imary 
Koals.  and  the  committee  hopes  to 
.see  eventual  enactment  of  many 
tentative  plans  for  additional  .ser- 
vice to  the  college.  For  example, 
the  Purple  Key  could  take  charne 
of  athletic  rallies,  which  are  now 
handled  haphazardly  by  the  re- 
spective clius.ses.  Athletic  ban- 
quets could  be  orKanized  on  a 
larger  scale,  and  the  new  society 
intends  to  look  into  this  po.ssi- 
liility  also. 

New    Ideas 

The  Purple  Key  could  organize 
and  run  Homecoming  weekends  in 
Fall  and  Winter,  and  might  spon- 
■-or  informal  dances  on  such  oc- 
casions. Other  improvements 
would  Include  revision  of  the  ath 
letlc  manaBcrial  system,  expan- 
sion and  stimulation  of  the  intra 
mural  program,  and  removal  of 
cheerleader  selections  from  the 
lircsent  system  of  political  spoils. 

Besides  fulfillinR  these  necessary 
functions  on  campus,  the  Key 
plans  to  publish  a  Williams  day- 
by-dny  engagement  book,  featur- 
ing  different  photographs  of   the 


.school's  facilities.  Also,  it  is  hoped 
that  the  Key  will  be  able  to  or- 
ganize the  .sale  of  programs,  and. 
net  in  the  caiiacity  of  ushers  for 
all  home  athletic  contests. 

School   I'ride 

It  is  well-known  that  an  apa- 
thetic altitude  toward  college 
functions  pervades  the  minds  of 
the  student  body,  so  the  framer.s 
of  the  Purple  Key  have  laid  plans 
to  recapture  the  college  pride 
which  has  somehow  vanislied  from 
the  WiUiamstown  area.  Athletic 
letters  should  certainly  be  worn 
proudly,  and  the  Key  intends  to 
push   this  practice. 

i'ommittee  Not  Key 

All  of  these  ideals  are  part  of 
the  vision  cxpre.s.sed  by  this  com- 
mittee. Incidentally,  the.se  men  are 
not  acting  as  members  of  the  new 
Purple  Key  Society,  but  rather, 
as  an  organization  to  draft  the 
constitution,  define  the  functions, 
and  select  the  charter  members 
for  the  Key  which  will  commence 
its  activities  next   fall. 

The  members  'all  of  them  from 
the  Class  of  '571  are:  John  Prit- 
chard.  Bob  Appleford,  Ted  McKec. 
Dick  Towne,  Jim  Hecker,  Dick 
riood.  Dick  Marr,  Charles  Alex- 
ander. Dave  Connolly,  Tony  Fur- 
gueson,  Joe  Perrott,  and  Dick 
Sheehan.  Tliey  are  being  assisted 
by  two  advisers  from  the  senior 
class.  Jim  Edgar  and  Bruce  Day- 
ton. 


y^CC  Inaugurates 
Scholarship  Fund 

Grants  to  Strengthen 
Mission  Programs 

Saturday,  Apr.  21  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  Chapel  will  .soon 
launch  a  campaign  to  raise  funds 
for  the  establishment  of  a  new 
.scholarship  at  Williams,  commit- 
tee member  Robby  Wright  '57  an- 
nounced today.  This  propo.sed  new 
.scholarship  comes  in  conjunction 
witli  the  150th  anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  the  American  Mis- 
sionary Service  which  occurred  on 
this  campus.  The  grants  will 
broaden  the  current  programs  of 
the  American  Missionary  Service. 

The  history  of  the  Service  dates 
liack  to  exactly  150  years  ago  this 
.summer  when  five  Williams  stu- 
dents, huddled  together  under  a 
haystack  during  a  rainstorm,  and 
decided  that  upon  graduation  they 
each  would  enter  missionary  work 
to  preacli  the  Gospel  abroad.  This 
marked  the  founding  of  the  A- 
mcrican  Missionaiy  Service,  and 
the  .'■pot  where  this  historic  meet- 
ing look  plac:'  is  now  marked  by 
the  famous  Haystack  Monument. 
Foreisn  Students 

Originally,  the  Service  trained 
and  sent  missionaries  from  this 
country  to  foreign  nations.  In  the 
last  20  years,  the  program  has 
been  designed  to  bring  foreign 
students  to  this  country,  to  edu- 
cate them,  and  tlien  to  .send  them 
back  to  their  homelands  to  handle 
missionary  work  on  their  own. 

The  purpose  of  the  new  schol- 
arship, Wright  stated,  would  be 
to  bring  such  a  foreign  student  to 
Williams  in  preparation  for  his 
later  work  overseas.  Wright  said 
that  the  fund-raising  camr".igr; 
would  begin  on  campus,  later  be- 
ing carried  to  the  townspeople 
and  possibly  to  the  general  public. 

In  this  connection.  Wright  men- 
tioned that  an  extensive  celebra- 
tion of  the  150th  anniversary  of 
the  Ha.vstack  Monument  will  be 
conducted  here  this  summer.  Sev- 
eral nationally  prominent  figures 
are  expected  to  be  present.  Over 
10,000  people  attended  the  100th 
anniversary  festivities  in  1906, 
and  similar  crowds  are  expected 
this  summer.  The  Chapel,  ac- 
cording to  Wright,  is  considering 
making  an  appeal  for  scholarship 
funds  in  conjunction  with  this 
year's  extensive  ceremonies.

/;//  Hfiiri/  L.  liasn 

Tuesday,  April  18  -  C;harles  V.  Courtis,  the  distiiii^uished  15os- 
tciii  lawyer,  ediieator,  and  writer,  spoke  this  e\eniiif^  at  a  j;atlier- 
iiij^  sponsoretl  hy  the  Williams  (Jhapler  ol  the  .Americans  lor  Dem- 
oeratie  .\etioii.  l.'iirtis  is  not  liimsell  a  iiiemher  ol  the  A.  i).  A.  — 
in  lact  he  has  been  "a  life  loiif^  liepiihlieaii  crossing  party  lines 
only  to  \'ote  lor  Hooscvelt  and  Ste\eiisoii  .  lie  lias  loii}^  heeii  one 
ol  the  most  zealous  dcteiiders  of  ci\  il  liberties. 

Curtis'  interests  have  spread  far  from  his  lej^al  ones  in  his 
very  varied  career.  After  f^radiiatioii  from  tlie  KcdIc  lies  Scicuci'ii 
Volitiiiucs  and  llarxard,  lie  was  admitted  to  the  .Massachusetts 
bar  with  the  Boston  linn  of  (^hoate.  Hall,  and  Warren. 

Lecturer  and  Autlior 

Curtis  has  held  several  public  offices,  among  them  the  posi- 
tion of  special  assistant  United  States  .Attorney  lor  .Massaeliiisetts. 
.'\s  an  educator  he  has  lectured  at  llar\ard  l)otli  in  goM'niiiieiit 
and  ill  sociology.  His  varied  career  is  perhaps  best  illiistratetl  b\ 
the  wide  range  of  books  he  has  written.  Starting  witli  lliiiiliiif^  In 
Africa,  an  account  of  his  own  e.\|5erieiices  while  liig  game  hunting 
ill  .Alrica,  he  then  iiio\ed  on  to  be  a  co-aiithor  ot  An  Inlroiluclion 
Id  Priielii,  which  deals  with  the  sociologv  ol  the  Italian  economist 
and  sociologist. 

More  recently,  Curtis  lias  returned  to  law  for  the  siibiect  mat- 
ter of  his  books.  In  1947  be  piiblislied  Lions  i'liiler  the  throne, 
a  study  ol  the  Sii])reme  Court  lor  the  lavman.  Mis  most  recent 
liooks  are  // .v  \'o\ir  Late  and  the  ('ppenhcinicr  (.'.use.  The  latter  is 
subtitli'd  TIte  Trial  of  a  Scci/ri/i/  Si/sleni  and  is  a  detailed  aiiabsis 
ol  the  testimony  before  the  I'ersoniiel  Scciirit\'  Board  and  the  \er- 
dicts  of  the  lioard  ami  of  the  .Atomic  haiergv  Commission. 

Curtis  discussed  what  be  regards  as  the  two  great  ci\  il  liberty 
issues  today:  loyalty  bearing  and  segregation.  .As  a  background  lor 
his  discussion  of  loyaltv  hearings  he  first  discussed  the  coiice])ts  ol 
"due  process  of  law"  and  "freedom  ol  S|)eecb  .  As  to  the  lirst  ol 
tlu'se  it  was  pointed  out  that  due  process  includes  not  only  "jus- 
tice to  justice"  but  is  in  addition  a  good  way  to  get  at  truth,  'i'lie 
proponents  of  byper-inxestigation  efficiency  forget  that  anoiiv- 
inotis  testimonv  is  simply  shoddy  e\  ideiice.  In  acting  on  presump- 
tion, they  are  both  being  unjust  and  also  reiving  on  iiisiillicieiit 
e\idence.  As  to  freedom  of  speech— it  seems  that  .Madison  con- 
sidered it  so  obviously  essential  that  be  omitted  it  from  his  original 
draft  of  the  First  Amendment. 

{Quarter  Million  Suspects 

The  importance  of  the  loyalty  issue  can  \  erv  easily  be  under- 
estimated. No  one  can  really  know  how  iiiaiiv  people  lia\<'  been 
the  \ictinis  of  security  bearings  —  according  to  one  estimate  there 
lia\e  been  a  (|uarter  million  cases  alfecting  the  lives  ol  eight  mil- 
lion. The  rights  at  stake  can  not  be  taken  for  granted  CNCii  in  a 
democracy  subject  to  the  rule  of  law  —  as  people  can  still  be  ar- 
bitrarilv  discharged  from  their  go\ernineiit  jobs. 

Courtis  concluded  that  what  has  made  the  loyaltx'  program  so 
difficult  has  been  the  lack  of  publicitv.  We  can  not  (nerestimate 
the  effect  of  the  public  eve  on  the  competence  ol  witnesses,  juries, 
and  judges.  Finallv.  an  ailequate  amount  of  ])ul)licit\'  is  compat- 
ible with  securitv.  Space  imfortunateK-  does  not  permit  discussion 
of  Curtis'  remarks  on  segregation. 


Faculty  Votes  No 
On  New  Changes 
In    Cut    Proposal 

Adminislrition  Resolves 
To  Retain  Old  System 
Unchanged  for  '56-'57 


Saturday.  Apr.  21  -  A  revi.sed 
proposal  of  the  cut  .sy.stem,  drawn 
up  by  the  faculty  cut  system  com- 
mittee under  the  direction  of  Pro- 
fessor William  Pierson.  was  re- 
jected at  a  recent  faculty  meet- 
ing. According  to  several  members 
of  the  administration,  the  faculty 
did  not  see  enough  advantages  in 
a  revised  version  ot  the  cut  plan 
to  warrant  changing  the  present 
system.  They  therefore  proposed 
maintaining  the  present  system 
unchanged. 

The  new  and  revised  cut  pro- 
posal was  written  following  strong 
student  disapproval  ot  a  change 
proposed  by  the  faculty  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year.  The  newer 
.system,  with  some  aspects  of  .stu- 
dent-written proposals  included  in 
it.  would  have  been  far  less  a 
"Russian  roulette"  type  system 
than  the  earlier  proposal. 

No  Kadical  Change 

Generally  speaking  the  new 
system  resembled  the  present 
system  in  many  aspects,  except 
that  attendance  would  be  turned 
in  only  twice  during  the  term. 
Tliere  was  no  radical  departure 
from  the  present  system  like  the 
section  in  the  previous  proposal 
which  would  have  possibly  chang- 
ed graduation  requirements  as  a 
punishment  for  irregularity  in  at- 
tendance. 

Excuses  and  attendance  regu- 
lations would  have  been  princi- 
!  pally  the  same  as  the  present  sys- 
tem, and  PT  would  have  remained 
unchanged.  Chapel  attendance, 
which  has  recently  come  under  a 
separate  attendance  system,  was 
not  included  and  will  continue  un- 
der its  new  form. 

The  revision  was  not  advanta- 
geously different  enough  from  the 
present  system  to  be  worth  the 
further  changes,  and  the  decision 
was  made  to  revert  to  the  status 
quo. 


Reviewer  Lauds  Violet  Serwin,  Bennington  Singers, 
Program  Selections,  Says  Glee  Club  Lacks  Spark 


By  Crane  Miller  '57 

In  conjunction  with  the  Ben- 
nington College  Madrigal  Singers 
and  Miss  Violet  Serwin,  the  Wil- 
liams Glee  Club  tonight  executed 
a  beautiful  program  featuring 
works  by  Dietrich  Buxtehude  and 
Johannes  Brahms.  Mr.  Walter 
NoUner  must  be  heartily  congra- 
tulated for  the  very  fine,  musical, 
and  representative  program  that 
was  presented.  He  has  continued 
his  excellent  programming  thai 
has  brought  to  Williams  some  of 
the  finest  music  heard  on  any  col- 
lege or  university  campus  in  the 
United  States.  Tonight's  selections 
included  works  by  Wilbye,  Ben- 
net,  and  J.  S.  Bach  up  to  such 
contemporaries  as  Aaron  Copland 
and  Randall  Thompson.  With  such 
music  being  presented  it  is  cer- 
tainly a  sad  commentary  on  the 
people  of  this  college  and  this 
area  that  there  is  no  better  at- 
tendance at  these  concerts. 

Miss  Serwin,  as  featured  soloist 
of  the  evening,  gave  particularly 
good  interpretations  of  Franz 
Schubert's  lied,  "Ganymed".  and 
of  Brahms'  "Rhapsody  for  alto 
solo  and  men's  chorus".  Wliereas 
the  Schubert  lieder  in  general 
were  rather  stiff  and  straightfor- 
ward in  her  presentation.  Miss 
Serwin  was  be.st  when  giving  free 
Interpretation  to  the  beautiful 
lines  of  the  alto  rhapsody.  Her 
tone  over  her  whole  range  is 
smooth  and  lyric  to  an  extent 
.seldom  heard  from  contraltos. 
Mr.  Rudnick's  accompaniment  and 
the  men's  chorus  were  particular- 
ly effective  in  providing  back- 
ground and  contrast  to  MLss  Ser- 
win. 

Under  the  .skillful  and  .sensitive 
leadership  of  Ruth  Ring,  the  Ben- 
nington College  Madrigal  Singers 


Glee  Club  With  Director  Nollner 


have  vastly  improved  over  last 
year's  contingent.  Tlie  "touring" 
group  rendered  with  precision, 
spontaneity,  and  dynamic  contrast 
that  offset  tonal  weaknesses,  four 
early  17th  century  madrigals.  Tire 
whole  Bennington  group  Joined 
with  the  Glee  Club  small  group, 
a  chamber  orchestra,  Mr.  Robert 
Bai".'ow  ably  assisting  at  the  or- 
gan, Adelaide  Phillips  and  Ni- 
cholas Wright  as  soloists,  to  pre- 
sent Buxtehude's  cantata.  "Alles, 
WHS  Ihr  tut  mit  Worten  oder  mlt 
Werken".  Vocally  Miss  Phillips' 
soprano  solo,  "Gott  will  ich  lassen 
raten, "  was  most  notable.  A  great 
deal  of  thanks  and  appreciation 
Is  due  to  the  chamber  orchestra 
whose  members  so  freely  contri- 
buted their  time,  enthusiasm,  and 
talents,  adding  greatly  to  the  en- 
joyment of  the  cantata. 

With  the  exception  of  the  beau- 
tiful execution  of  the  Bach  "May 


God  Prosper  You,"  Donald 
Brown's  expressive  solo.  "All  my 
Fieedom. "  Hubert  Baxter's  en- 
thusiastic "Dodger."  the  Bartok, 
"Ah.  listen  Now  My  Comrades", 
and  'Ah,  If  I  Pall  in  Battle, "  and 
the  precise  "Tarantella, "  of  Ran- 
dall Thompson,  the  Williams  Glee 
Club  was  generally  lacklustre. 
From  Frederick  Llppincott's  stiff 
interpretation  of  the  dynamic, 
volatile  Russian  folksongs  of 
Mou.ssorgsky.  to  the  delightfully 
humorous  "Amo.  Amas.  I  Love  a 
Lass."  the  concert  was  generally 
bland.  It  was  "Punch"  of  non- 
spiked  variety.  Glee  Club  with  the 
Glee  removed,  happily  punctuated 
occasionally  by  some  beautiful, 
emotional  sections.  It  lacked  the 
spark  and  the  spontaneity  that 
would  have  made  it  superb.  How- 
ever, by  dint  of  the  excellent  pro- 
gram, the  evening  was  most  en- 
joyable and  well  spent.

that  three,  at  least,  are  worthy  of  ininiediatc  attention  .  .  .  and  pos- 
ihlc  tuture  clahoratiou.  Space  permits  oulv  impressions.  .And  so  .  .  . 
IMI'HESSION  NUMBER  ONE;  It  would  he  relativelv  inex- 
pensive and  eiionnousK'  heiicficial  if  Williams  were  to  cstahlish  a 
"visitini;  fireman's"  plan  hv  which  distin^uislied  educators  could 
reside  at  the  collei^c  for  a  few  weeks  a  year,  lecturiiifr.  takiny  clas- 
ses, and  talkinsr  inforinallv  with  the  students.  \'isitiiiir  lecturers  are 
not  uncommon  in  collcs^es.  Hohcrt  Frost  spends  two  weeks  a  \ci\r 
at  Amherst.  Hohert  0|)peiiheiincr  s])cnt  sexeral  days  at  the  Phil- 
lips E.\eter  Acadeiii\-  this  fall  and,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  William 
Loebs  .Manchester  UNION  LEADER  cliar<;ed  that  E.xeter  would 
next  be  iinitiui;  ))rostitutes  to  meet  the  students,  was  extrenieh' 
well  receiyed.  Many  outstanch'nn  men  would  welcome  the  oppor- 
tiinitv  to  come  in  contact  with  the  youuf^er  feneration.  Such  a 
plan  would  certainly  add  spice  to  Williams'  intellectual  fare. 

IMPRESSION  NUMBER  TWO:  Williams,  like  most  colleires. 
elects  "nice  jjuys"  to  fill  important  offices.  Fortunatelv  tliey  arc 
(|uite  competent.  Vet  the  "nice  i^ny"  criterion  eliminates  many  per- 
sons ol  <4reat  ability  from  positions  of  scr\  ice.  These  people  of  abil- 
ity usually  follow  one  of  two  ]5atlis.  They  either  retreat  to  an  in- 
tellectual iyory  tower,  or  lower  their  standards  outside  of  the 
classroom  to  conform  to  the  norm.  Each  year,  when  faculty  ap- 
pointment time  arrixes.  President  Baxter  consults  members  of  Phi 
Beta  Kap|)a,  coiicerin'iiii;  the  merit  of  yarious  instructors.  It  seems 
that  such  a  principle  could  be  widened  in  scope  by  establisbinn 
a  student  aiKisorv  committee  to  the  faculty,  which  would  keep  in 
tune  with  what  the  faculty  thinks  about  and  offer  iiitellii;ent  ad- 
\ice  Irom  a  student  standpoint.  The  faculty  each  year  considers 
ideas  lar  beyond  the  scope  of  \acation  dates,  cut  systems,  and  the 
like.  They  are  concerned  with  the  whole  process  of  education. 
Presumably  able  students  are,  too. 

IMPRESSON  NUMBER  THREE:  The  possibility  of  a  four 
course  schedule  is  perhaps  mmstial  to  most  readers,  but  there  are 
several  people  of  importance  who  are  considering;  just  such  a 
pro|)ositioii.  The  theory  is  that  fiye  three  hour  courses  for  the  first 
three  vears  take  too  much  time,  are  too  sii|3erficial.  and  leave  little 
room  for  anything;  but  "kccpiiii;  up".  It  is  amazing  to  reflect  on 
how  much  we  forp't.  Plots  of  books  wc  read  last  term  will  soon 
lade  into  oblivion.  More  concentration  would  iieccessarilv  influ- 
ence the  student  to  choose  courses  in  which  he  is  interested,  and 
l^ive  him  more  time  to  pursue  his  interests.  The  four  course  idea 
is  .soinethinj;  to  think  about.  We  may  be  hearint;  more  about  it 
soon. 


hti  Dare  KIniihiinl 

Last  Monday  iiij^ht  in  the  joint  iiieetinjr  ol  the  College  and 
Social  Councils  the  C:c;-S(:  joint  lUishinj;  Coiiiiiiitlec  and  die 
(Jarnoylc  Society  jMoposed  bold  solutions  to  (he  major  rn.shmi; 
problems  on  this  campns-illcj>al  riishin|,;,  stratification,  and  the 
need  for  total  oppoitunity. 

rlic  Repp  Committee's  report  provides  what  appi'iir  to  be  tlic> 
best  solutions  lor  dirty  riishini;  and  stratification  under  the  condi- 
tions imposed  bv  tbe  deferred  nishiiij;  system. 

The  Cari^oyle  iccomniendation  is,  to  my  mind,  the  most  sij^in- 
fieaiit  nishiiijj  proposal  in  recent  years.  If  accepted  h\'  tbe  houses, 
it  will  assure  total  opportunity  on  this  campus.  If  the  houses  tail 
to  accept  it,  their  failure  will  mean  that  tlie  fraternities  on  this 
campus  have  openly  refn.setl  one  of  their  principal  responsibilities. 
No  longer  will  some  houses  be  able  to  maintain  a  ])oi)ular  ]wsv  in 
favor  of  total  opportimitv.  They  will  have  to  stand  up  and  be 
coiinteil  as  leatly  to  accept  tin-  re,s|)()iisibilitv  that  i^ioes  with  the 
idea  or  show  how  little  they  actually  helievc  in  the  idea  by  sliirk- 
ini;  acceptance  of  a  responsibility  essential  to  the  attaiimieiit  ol 
this  lon^-soiight  goal. 

Tbe  hallmarks  of  the  CC-SC:  Rii.shinj»  Committee  Report  are 
as  follows; 

Bv  placinj;  (piotas  on  the  pref  and  stib-pref  periods  the  new 
system  eliminates  one  of  the  major  sources  of  dirty  rnsbinj;  (over- 
crowded and  iindcrcrowded  pri'f  periods)  ami  promotes  the  les- 
seninir  of  stratification. 

Tbe  important  jioint  with  regard  to  stratification  is  that  the 
freshmen  are  the  victims  of  a  myth  which  blinds  them  during 
their  ve;ir  of  rushing  because  of  the  glainori/.ed  iispccts  ol  the 
fraternities  more  crowded  with  supposed  "le;iders,"  men  in  the 
major  sports,  and  the  c;isiial,  easv-goiiig  "good  guvs. "  \W  re(|iiiring 
the  frosh  to  list  all  the  Eratcrnities  and  by  jjlacing  (jiiotas  on  the 
last  two  |ieriods,  tbe  proposed  system  will  help  to  shatter  this 
myth.  Larger  nuinhers  of  freshmen  will  have  the  chanci'  (if  they're 
wise  enough  to  accejit  the  second  section  bids  which  obligate  them 
in  no  way)  to  realize  the  true  worth  ol  uppercla.ssmen  in  the  Ira- 
ternities  with  less  of  the  (|nestioiiahle  pri'stige  and  outward  gl;i- 
mor. 

The  point  here  is  that  tbev  will  be  seriously  considering 
s]M'iiding  three  vears  in  these  houses  rather  than  just  ])assiiig  casu- 
ally through  on  the  rounds  with  a  lalse  lecling  ol  security  and  the 
mirage  of  a  key  to  a  jirestigc  bouse.  Such  Irosli  are  apt  to  liiid 
they'd  far  rather  siiond  their  college  vears  in  fr;iteriial  ;issoci;ition

with  the  campus  "wheels,"  athletes,  and  brash  "good  guvs  who

Many  Williams  men  who  shim  cheating,  but  last  ye;ir  were 
prone  to  make  just  as  llagrant  a  breach  of  bonor.  will  be  lar  less 
ca|wble  of  h)rgettitig  that  they're  on  their  honor  not  to  ilirtv  rush 
if  the  new  plan  is  |)assed,  for  everyone  will  then  sign  a  pledge  im- 
mediately before  and  after  rushing.  In  realizing  the  Inlilitv  ol 
added  penalties  and  stressing  tbe  matter  of  bonor.  in  calling  upon 
the  houses  themselyes  to  |)unish  dirty  rushing,  hec;insc  only  thev 
can  really  ship  it,  the  members  of  the  Committee  manifested  that 
rare  insight  and  originality  for  which  the  campus  should  s;iliite 
them.

"'Vr  BIG  RED  LETTER  DAY! 


^""T.MV«STO,»CCOCO 


West  Point.  N.  Y..  April  18  — 
The  Williams  College  var.sity  ten- 
nis team  defeated  Army  by  a  7  1.'2 
-1  1,  2  score  here  today.  This  was 
the  first  match  of  the  regular  sea- 
son. On  Saturday.  April  21.  the 
Ephmen  journey  to  Colgate  for 
what  should  be  a  close  match,  and 
then  entertain  MIT  here  at  Wil- 
liamstown  on  Tuesday,  April  24. 
for  the  opening  home  match. 

Williams  was  too  strong  in  ever-y 
department  for  the  Black  Knights 
in  spite  of  the  home  team's  de- 
termination and  frequently  mira- 
culous gets.  The  Ephs  took  the 
first  five  singles  and  first  two 
doubles  and  split  the  number  three 
doubles  when  darkness  set  in  on  a 
match  that  was  tied  at  a  set  all. 
The  only  match  which  the  Army 
managed  to  salvage  was  the  num- 
ber six  singles  where  Brower  Mer- 
riam lost  by  a  6-4.  fi-2  count. 

Jensen  Wins 

Wally  Jensen  playing  number 
one.  ran  into  some  difficulty  -with 
the  Army  first  man.  John  Ellison, 
and  was  extended  in  winning  a 
6-4,  5-7.  6-4  match.  The  Army 
star  was  extremely  difficult  to 
beat  on  the  slow  clay  courts  since 
he  is  a  retriever  and  defensive 
player.  Jensen's  volleys  were  re- 
turned time  after  time  until  the 
Army  .junior  finally  I'an  out  of  gas 
in  the  last  set. 

At  number-  two.  Karl  Hirshman 
had  little  trouble  in  disposing  with 
the  Kaydet  captain.  Morgan  May- 
son,  by  a  6-1.  6-3  score.  The  Wil- 
liams player  constantly  rushed 
net  and  forced  his  opponent  into 
many  errors.  The  number  three 
match  was  also  one  sided,  and 
Dave  Leonard  disposed  of  his  man 
by  a  6-1.  6-0  .score.  Tlie  Eph  third 
man  was  too  strong  and  steady  in 
his  ground  strokes  to  be  challen- 
ged by  his  opponent. 

Tom  Shulman  at  number  four, 
defeated  his  opponent  6-4,  6-3. 
and  Lou  Bortnick  at  five  also  won 
in  a  close  match.  After  trailing 
5-1  in  the  third  set.  Bortnick  came 
back  to  win  both  set  and  match. 


Planskymen  Rely 
On   Soph  Talent 

Six  Veterans  Form 
Powerful  Nucleus 


Saturday,  Apr.  21  -  With  only 
six  returning  lettei'men,  the  Wil- 
liams -Varsity  Track  team  opens 
its  1956  .season  against  Middlebury 
today  on  Weston  Pield.  Coach 
Tony  Plan.sky  will  be  counting 
heavily  on  the  members  of  last 
year's  fr-eshman  team  as  he  ex- 
pects sophomores,  weather,  and 
individual  stars  to  be  the  deciding 
factors. 

Although  Coach  Plansky  with- 
held any  comment  on  the  outcome 
of  the  meet.  Junior  Captain  Andy 
Smith  was  very  optimistic.  Wil- 
liams, however,  will  probably  show 
the  effects  of  the  recent  adverse 
weather  conditions  more  than 
Middlebury,  since  the  Panthers 
have  adequate  indoor  facilities. 
The  Panthers  still  lack  the  depth 
which  was  the  deciding  factor  in 
the  88-47  Eph  victory  last  year. 

Although  Middlebury  boasts 
strength  in  the  middle  distances, 
pole  vault,  and  jumping  events, 
the  visitors  will  also  be  counting 
on  sophomore  talent.  Captain  Tom 
Hart,  the  Panthers'  Little  AU- 
American  basketball  center,  will 
be  the  mainstay  of  their  team, 
competing  in  the  high  jump, 
broad  jump,  pole  vault,  and  per- 
haps the  hurdles.  He  holds  the 
Middlebury  pole  vault  and  high 
jump  records  as  well  as  excelling 
in  the  broad  jump. 

Smith  Runs  100.  220 
Captain  Smith,  a  junior  with 
two  track  letters,  John  Schimmel, 
and  Jim  Becket  will  be  the  dash 
men.  Sophomore  star  Bill  Fox. 
Jim  Murphy.  Tom  Kellogg,  and 
Steve  Carrol  will  dominate  the 
middle  distances,  -Veteran  Hotz 
Ports  and  Dick  Clokey  will  be  the 
Eph  milers,  with  Cross  Country 
co-capt. -elect  Jim  Hecker  and 
Dave  Kleinbard  the  two  milers. 
Sophomores  Rick  DriscoU.  Karl 
Schoeller  and  Charlie  Schweig- 
hauser  will  team  up  with  veteran 
Jay  Wilson  in  the  low  and  higl-i 
hurdles, 

Schoeller  Enters  4  Events 
Wilson  and  Schweighauser  will 
also  get  the  call  for  the  high 
jump:  the  latter  will  also  perform 
in  the  broad  jump,  Dick  Christlieb 
and  BUI  Thomas  will  manage  the 
hammer  duties,  while  veteran  Pete 
Riely  will  compete  in  the  pole 
vault.  Teaming  up  with  John  Win- 
nacker  and  John  Pritchard.  re- 
spectively. Schoeller,  a  four  event 
man.  will  toss  the  discus  and  the 
javelin.  Pritchard.  Winnacker,  and 
John  "Van  Hoven  will  represent 
Williams  in  the  .shot  put. 

Captain  Smith  stated  that  the 
team  has  very  good  potential,  es- 
pecially in  sophomores  Pox. 
Schoeller  and  Schimmel.  He  add- 
ed, however,  that  the  team  will

Jet    Exhibition 

To  further  inveigle  the  parents, 
students,  and  occasional  dates, 
the  Plying  Club,  in  cahoots  with 
the  Williams  R.O.T.C.  unit,  has 
slated  a  jet  exhibition  for  those 
"stovepipe"  enthusiasts  i  easily 
Identifiable  by  the  red,  white  and 
blue  cotton  in  their  ears>  who 
are  not  satisfied  until  somebody's 
greenhouse  has  been  smashed.  The 
jets,  from  Westover  Air  Force 
Base  near  Springfield,  will  appear, 
as  if  by  magic,  at  exactly  1430 
hours. 

For  those  who  have  to  get  right 
near  the  action,  the  flying  club 
also  plans  to  offer  free  rides  in 
its  fine,  sturdy  Cessna  140.  The 
club  especially  wishes  prospective 
members  to  take  advantage  of  this 
privilege. 

Dogfight 

The  "dogfight"  will  commence 
at  10:00  a.m.  with  the  spot-land- 
ing event,  in  which  the  pilots  will 
approach  a  line  on  the  runway 
and  land  as  close  to  it  as  possible 
on  the  other  side.  This  tests  the 
flyer.s'  proficiency  at  setting  down 
precisely  on  the  end  of  the  run- 
way instead  of  among  the  cows 
and  brambles  in  front  of  it.  The 
best  two  or  three  landings  will  be 
judged. 

The  second  of  the  three  events 
will  be  the  bomb-dropping  compe- 
tition in  which  the  pilots  fly  over 
at  500  feet,  aim  for  a  bulls-eye. 
and  drop  one-pound  bags  of  lime, 
occasionally  hitting  a  scurrying 
official  I  except  in  case  of  fatality, 
this  is  usually  good  for  a  lot  of 
laughs  1.  Again  the  best  two  of 
three  attempts  will  be  judged. 

Scots  Not  Softweave 

In  the  final  event — streamer- 
cutting — the  pilots  will  attain  a 
height  of  several  thousand  feet, 
throw  out  a  lengthy  roll  of  tissue 
paper  and  attempt  to  cut  it  three 
times,  by  flying  at  it.  The  event 
will  be  judged  on  the  amount  of 
time  taken.  A  minimum  altitude 
of  1000  feet  has  been  set  to  pre- 
vent over-zealous  pilots  from  fol- 
lowing their  streamers  onto  the 
already-littered  ground. 

It  has  not  been  definitely  de- 
cided which  of  the  Williams  fly- 
ers will  compete  but  President  Don 
Morrison,  Secretary  Phil  Lazier, 
Mort  McMichael,  Rick  Call,  and 
even  sophomore  Gail  Gutterman 
of  the  club's  burgeoning  Benning- 
ton branch  are  po.sslbilities.  Wil- 
liams has  been  very  successful  in 
the  past,  winning  in  1953  and  '54. 
The  meet  was  not  held  iast  year.

Professor  Gives 
Lecture  in  AMT 

Shainman  Discusses 
Music  Development 

By   Robert   Leinbach   '57 

Wednesday,  Apr.  18  -  Professor 
Irwin  Shainman  delivered  a  lec- 
ture in  the  A.M.T.  designed  to  in- 
vestigate the  musical  counterpart 
of  the  romantic  movement  in  llt- 
oialure  recently  studied  in  Eng- 
lish 20  this  afternoon.  Professor 
Shainman  began  his  spirited  and 
infoimative  talk  by  playing  Hay- 
dn's Symphony  No.  86  and  Schu- 
mans  Symphony  No,  3,  his  Rhe- 
nish Symphony.  With  this  as 
background,  he  proceeded  to  ex- 
plore differences  between  the  18th 
century  "Classic"  period  and  the 
19th  century  "Romanticism". 

The  18th  century,  he  began,  was 
a  period  of  private  musical  pa- 
tronage. That  is,  music  was  writ- 
ten for  special  people  and  special 
occasions.  The  music  composed  by 
Haydn,  for  example,  was  there- 
foie  entirely  funoUonal.  Other 
composers  likewise  wrote  with  a 
loyalty  to  form  keeping  their  mu- 
sic absolute,  or  devoid  of  extra- 
musical  ideas. 

19th  Century 

The  19th  century  brought 
with  it  greater  technical  facility, 
the  idea  of  public  concerts,  musi- 
cal specialists,  and  most  impor- 
tantly composers  who  had  had 
considerable  non-musical  educa- 
tion. These  men  in  turn  reacted 
against  the  18th  century  "arti- 
sans' "  formalism  with  a  more  re- 
laxed lyricism.  Composers  like 
Berlioz.  Mendelssohn,  and  Schu- 
man  emphasized  various  themes, 
not  so  much  variation  on  a  theme. 
19th  century  music  had  to  have  a 
more  direct  impact  than  previous- 
ly, as  it  was  now  being  played  to 
large  public   audiences. 

As  a  result  of  this '  thematic 
emphasis,  romantic  music  has 
been  criticized  for  its  sustaining 
power,  and  it  has  been  said  that 
those  Romantics  who  have  lasted 
until  today  were  those  who  leaned 
most  toward  the  classicism  pre- 
ceding them.  Extra-musical,  lit- 
erary ideas  cost  some  degree  of 
intricacy  and  complexity.  Prefer- 
ence, of  course,  is  personal.

Faculty  Group  Starts 
David  Sterling  Fund 

Gifts  to  Make  Possible 
Visits  by  Intellectuals 


Saturday,  Apr,  21  -  The  David 
W.  Sterling  Memorial  Fund  has 
been  started  at  Williams  College 
to  bring  one  or  more  prominent 
and  stimulating  thinkers  in  tlie 
fields  of  religion,  philosophy,  po- 
litical science,  or  liistory  to  the 
campus.  Sterling,  who  was  presi- 
dent of  the  class  of  1955.  a  mem- 
ber of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  Gar- 
goyle, was  stricken  with  a  fatal 
illness  shortly  before  graduation. 
His  parents  live  in  Maplewood. 
N.J. 

So  many  friends  and  admirers 
of  Sterling  spontaneously  sent 
donations  or  asked  for  something 
to  be  done  in  liis  memory,  that 
Williams  President  James  P,  Bax- 
ter 3rd  appointed  a  faculty  com- 
mittee to  handle  any  contributions 
made.  There  will  be  no  organized 
drive  for  funds,  but  anyone  in- 
terested in  contributing  may  send 
donations  to  the  faculty  commit- 
tee, which  is  licaded  by  Rev.  Wil- 
liam G.  Cole.  A  student  committee 
will  also  be  formed  to  assist  the 
faculty  group. 

The  committee  does  not  envi- 
sion a  simple  lecture,  but  rather 
plans  to  invite  someone  to  spend 
a  few  days  on  campus,  informally 
promoting  a  tree  exchange  of 
ideas  on  a  broad  philosophical 
basis  with  respect  to  the  relation- 
ship of  man  to  himself,  to  God. 
and  to  ills  fellow  men.

Of  Semi  ■  Annual  Student  Chapel  Services;

lie  a  cluilii'iif^c  and  arc  worthy  ol  hfUvt,  —  to  you,  what?"  Jim 
Svinons  '56  raised  this  <|iicsli()n  last  Siiiidav  iiii^ht  iu  a  seriiioi] 
presented  to  a  very  limited  Chapel  atteudanee.  Symons'  sermon 
was   part   of  the   senii-aniinal    Student   Sei\ic<'   prc'sented    hv   the 

WCC  as  the  colleRe  equivalent  of^ . 

Laymen's  Sunday.  Tlie  service 
was  conducted  by  Harrison  Owen 
57,  Chairman  of  the  Chapel 
Hoard. 

Symon.s,  who  has  been  accept- 
id  for  graduate  work  at  Yale  Di- 
vinity School,  propcsed  the  idea 
iliat  religion  can  be  meaninntul 
to  the  Individual  only  if  he  .seeks 
(lod  in  his  own  way.  throuKh  his 
own  life.  He  pointed  out  that  the 
solution  to  personal  lelJKious  prob- 
lems lies  not  in  the  details  of  a 
r?lii!ion,  but  in  the  selling  up  of 
"soni"  kind  of  faith,  a  faith  that 
has  meaning,  thai  truly  orients 
ourselves  to  our  society  and  to 
•some  ultimate  reality". 

Redediration  of  Faidi 

Symons  emphasized  the  need 
for  religion  not  only  in  the  indi- 
vidual, but  in  the  whole  Western 
society.  The  societies  of  EKypt, 
Rome  and  Greece  miKht  have  liv- 
ed, had  it  not  been  for  the  "stag- 
nation and  infidelity  to  the  very 
religious  beliefs  to  which  each  of 
lliese  civilizations  expressed  alle- 
giance," which  resulted  In  the  in- 
ternal corrosion  of  these  grand 
cultures. 

Completely  at  ease  with  his  lis- 
teners and  very  effective  in  his 
gestures  and  pauses,  the  aspiring 
minister  ended  his  sermon  with  a 
prayer  for  a  new  and  deeper  feel- 
ing toward  God,  for  a  rededication 
of  personal  faith. 

WCC   Activities 

Last  Wednesday  night,  WCC 
sponsored  "Mate-Date  Nile."  a 
gathering  at  which  girls  from 
Qreen  Mountain  School  discus.sed 
various  social  problems  with  a 
group  of  WiUiams  men  in  Baxter 
Hall.  Williams  Chaplain  William 
Cole  presented  the  group  with  sev- 
eral questions  concerning  necking, 
blind  dating,  and  requirements  for 
a  successful  date.  The  discussion 
accomplished  little,  but  the  par- 
ticipants' reactions  to  the  ques- 
tions made  the  evening  very  in- 
teresting and  worthwhile. 

Last  weekend  WCC  sponsored  a 
trip  to  the  Rabbit  Hollow  camp 
for  needy  children.  Groups  from 
Amherst,  Mt.  Holyoke  and  Smith 
joined  a  WiUlams  contingent  of 
tour  in  a  weekend  of  work  and 
partying.  The  camp  was  originated 
by  college  students  and  Is  support- 
ed by  annual  donations.  Last  sum- 
mer 847  needy  children  spent  the 
summer  at  Rabbit  Hollow  and  a 
larger  group  is  expected  this  sum- 
mer. 


Phi  Bete  Society

Wednesday.  April  25  -  The  un- 
dergraduate Phi  Beta  Kappa  So- 
ciety will  present  another  in  the 
series  of  panels  entitled  "Ideas. 
Books,  and  Men"  tonight  at  8 
o'clock  in  Room  3  of  Griffin  Hall. 
Tlie  topic  of  the  discussion  will 
be  Goethe's  famous  play,  "Faust". 

Tom  Frohock  '56,  will  act  as 
chairman.  J.  A.  Donovan  '56,  and 
Alec  France  '56.  are  the  student 
participants,  and  Chaplain  Cole 
and  Professor  Fllzell  of  the  Ger- 
man Department  will  represent 
the  faculty. 

Four  Aspects 

Each  of  the  student  and  faculty 
speakers  will  elaborate  on  a  sep- 
arate aspect  of  the  immortal  play. 

Professor  Fitzell  will  deal  with 
the  dramatic  form  of  the  play.  It 
will  be  remembered  that  Faust 
made  a  deal  with  the  Devil,  so 
Reverend  Cole  will  explain  the 
contemporary  religious  attitudes. 
Every  one  is  cordially  Invited  to 
attend  the  panel,  and  a  fore- 
knowledge of  "Faust"  is  not  a  re- 
quirement for  a  profitable  even- 
ing.

Williams  Receives 
Money  To  Raise 
Teachintr  Salaries 


President  Baxter  Forms 
Committee  To  Arrange 
Use  of  Ford  Funds 


Wednesday.  April  25  -  Clarence 
H.  Faust,  President  of  the  Fund 
for  the  Advancement  of  Educa- 
tion, announced  recently  that 
Williams  has  again  been  the  re- 
cipient of  a  sizeable  grant.  Along 
with  thirty-three  other  Institu- 
tions of  higher  learning,  Williams 
received  a  grant  of  $10,000  to  im- 
prove teaching  salaries. 

President  Baxter  has  appointed 
a  committee  to  investigate  how 
this  grant  may  be  u.sed  most  ad- 
vantageously. Serving  on  the  com- 
mittee are  Drs.  Ralph  P.  Winch, 
Rob-rl  R.  R.  Brooks  and  Fred  H.

pose of  the  committee  would  be 
"to  se?  if  the  present  .set-up  could 
be  improved  to  handle  the  greater 
student  load  which  may  result 
from  an  impending  teacher  short- 
age".

recruiting  more  able  people  for 
college  and  university  teaching, 
providing  them  with  adequate 
preparation  for  the  work,  and 
utilizing  their  competence  more 
effectively  are  the  most  challeng-

Scholarship  Drive  New  Rushing  Plan  for  Next  Year 


Opens  Tomorrow 

WCC  Handles  Campaign 
To  Establish  Memorial 


Wednesday,  April  25  -  Tomor- 
row marks  the  opening  of  a  three- 
day  fund-raising  campaign  on 
campus  to  establish  a  new  Hay- 
slack  Memorial  Fellowship.  The 
campaign  will  be  conducted 
through  the  various  social  units 
and  the  student  union  with  an 
announced  goal  of  between  $1000- 
$1500. 

The  new  fellowship,  coming  in 
conjunction  with  the  150lh  an- 
niversary of  the  founding  of  the 
American  Missionary  Service 
which  occurred  here,  is  designed  to 
bring  a  foreign  student  to  Wil- 
liams. After  receiving  his  educa- 
tion, he  would  then  return  to  his 
homeland  to  handle  missionary 
work  there. 

Campaign  Committee 

The  campaign  is  being  handled 
by  a  group  of  students  organized 
by  the  Williams  College  Chapel 
and  Rev.  William  Cole.  Plans  for 
the  scholarship  were  formulated 
at  a  special  meeting  held  last  week 
at  the  Faculty  Club. 

This  scholarship  fund  is  the 
students'  contribution  to  the  cele- 
bration of  the  150th  anniversary 
of  the  Haystack  Memorial.  In 
1806,  five  Williams  students,  to 
escape  a  rain  storm,  huddled  un- 
der a  haystack  one  day  during  the 
summer  term  (there  were  three 
semesters  here  al  that  time)  and 
held  a  prayer  meetmg. 

Al  the  same  time,  while  huddled 
under  the  haystack,  they  each  de- 
cided to  enter  Missionary  work 
after  graduation  and  It  marked 
the  founding  of  the  American  Mis- 
sionary Service. 

Tills  scholarship  would  broaden 
the  program  of  the  American  Mis- 
sionary Service.  The  local  commit- 
tee Is  hoping  to  receive  outside 
help  both  from  area  citizens  and 
the  general  public.  In  connection 
with  the  extensive  ceremonies 
planned  here  this  summer  to  cele- 
brate the  150th  anniversary  of  the 
organization's  founding.

AMT  to  Present  Chekov  Classic  Three  Sisters' 
With  First  Performance  Beginning  Tomorrow  Night 


Wednesday.  April  25  -  Cap  and 
Bells  Society  will  present  Anton 
Chekhov's  "Three  Sisters"  In  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre  starting 
tomorrow  night,  and  lasting 
through  Saturday  night.  The  pro- 
duction last  appeared  on  Broad- 
way in  1942.  It  will  mark  the 
first  play  under  the  direction  of 
Giles  Playfair  since  he  came  to 
Williams  earlier  this  year. 

"Three  Sisters",  like  most  of 
Chekhov's  plays,  has  not  been  pro- 
duced frequently  in  the  United 
States.  Written  In  1900,  the  drama 
presents  the  image  of  the  decaying 
gentry  of  Russia,  which  may  be 
taken  as  the  Image  of  humanity 
In  any  country,  particularly  the 
southern  part  of  our  country  after 
the  Civil  War. 

Chekhov  Comment 

Commenting  on  his  plays.  Chek- 
hov once  said:  "Let  everything  on 
the  stage  be  just  as  complicated, 
and  at  the  same  time  Just  as 
simple  as  It  Is  in  life.  People  eat 
their  dinner,  just  eat  their  din- 
ner, and  all  the  time  their  hap- 
piness Is  being  established  or  their 
lives  are  being  broken  up." 

"Chekhov  has  always  been 
thought  to  have  written  trage- 
dies," points  out  Mr.  Playfair, 
"but  there  Is  comedy  In  them,  and 
we  are  emphasizing  the  comedy. 
We  are  following  Chekhov's  own 
stage  direction",  the  director  con- 
tinued. Mr.  Playfair  mentions 
that  there  are  "not  the  best  facili- 
ties here  from  the  point  of  view 
of  the  stage."  "Realistic  scenery" 
will  be  used.

Wins  Key  Test  in  Joint  Meeting 

Monday,  April  23  -  The  Hejip  committee's  much-discussed 
rushing  report,  which  Dean  Hiooks  has  termed  "the  most  signifi- 
cant jiieee  of  work  to  come  out  of  any  student  organization  in  the 
past  six  vears",  was  jiassed  liy  the  SC  and  CCJ  at  tonight's  joint 
meeting,  with  liurprisiiigly  little  o|)position. 

In  separate  roll-call  votes,  the  College  Council  registered  14  in 
favor,  one  opposed,  and  two  (Tom  Yankus  and  Kirt  Cardner)  ab- 
sent. The  Social  Council  votes  stood  11-3  in  favor,  with  one  house 
(Deke)  absent.  In  the  SC,  onlv  the  Clii  Psis.  Ka])s  and  Phi  Cams 
voted  to  kill  the  svsti'm.  while  Dick  Fearon  recorded  the  lone  neg- 
ati\e  in  the  CC  count. 

Gargoi/fe  Report 
Two  other  topics  were  treated  at  this  highlv  imjiortant  meet- 

0'"S.   One   was   Ted   McKee's   pro- 

gress  report  on  the  Purple  Key 
FsCuItV  PftSSeS  New  society,  second  was  the  Gargoyle 
._.     ,  /^        J       ni  proposal  on  total  opportunity.  Af- 

MinimUm  drSlde   l  ISin   ter  some  discussion.  It  was  decided 

to  refer  "this  bomb  shell"  back 
to  the  houses.  The  following  Is 
their  rewording  of  the  proposal. 
In  the  form  that  it  will  be  pre- 
sented to  the  houses  this  week: 

"II  Houses  will  delegate  the 
power  to  their  presidents  to  bid 
rushees  not  receiving  any  sup- 
per invitations. 

2)  The  house  presidents  will 
meet  after  the  Post-Rushing 
Committee  session  and  agree 
not  to  adjourn  until  all  rushees 
are  picked  up." 

Repp  Report 

Though  the  accepted  Repp  sys- 
tem was  carried  by  a  conclusive 
margin,  there  were  several  sug- 
gestions for  possible  revision.  It 
now  appears  probable  that  at 
least  two  will  be  ratified  as  a- 
mendments  this  year. 

The  most  radical  new  proposal 
was  brought  in  by  Jim  Smith, 
president  of  Phi  Gam.  Smith  not- 
ed that  there  is  no  way  for  two  or 
three  very  close  friends  to  insure 
that  they  end  up  in  the  same 
house,  without  resorting  to  dirty 
rushing.  He  suggested  that  It 
should  be  made  possible  for  such 
a  group  to  register  with  the  I'ush- 
Ing  arbiter  as  a  "package".  All 
houses  would  then  be  advised  of 
Its  existence,  and  would  have  to 
treat  it  as  an  Indivisible  unit. 

AD    Proposal 

Another  idea  for  a  possible  a- 
mendment  came  from  Dick  Fearon 
of  AD.  His  house  felt  that  the 
quotas  for  the  pref  and  sub-pret 
periods  ought  to  be  slightly  higher 
than  the  final  quotas.  The  ADs 
"agreed  with  the  aim  to  spread 
out  the  freshmen",  but  felt  that 
"this  Is  going  too  far". 

Bob  Ause,  of  DU,  reported  his 
house  feared  "that  pref  period 
may  seem  too  binding".  He  noted 
that  houses  will  undoubtably  draw 
from  pref  and  sub-pref  periods  in 
making  out  their  final  bid  lists. 
so  that  sophs  in  the  pref  period 
are  not  guaranteed  positions  in 
the  house.  To  avoid  any  confu- 
sion, he  proposed  that  the  sub- 
pref  period  be  also  designated 
"pref". 


Wednesday,  April  25  —  The  mi- 
nimum re(|Uirement  for  remaining 
in  college  during  the  junior  and 
senior  year  has  been  changed  to 
take  in  account  plus  and  minus 
grades  which  were  previously  dis- 
regarded. The  new  plan  will  be  ef- 
fective with  the  class  of  1958.  The 
classes  of  1956  and  1957  will  not 
be  affected  by  the  change. 

Under  the  ruling  recently  pass- 
ed by  the  faculty  the  mini- 
mum standard  in  the  major  field 
at  the  end  of  the  junior  year  and 
again  at  the  middle  of  the  senior 
year  will  be  a  4.0  (C-)  average. 
A  student  whose  average  falls  be- 
low this  point  will  be  dropped 
from  the  college. 

The  new  4.0  standard  replaces 
the  standard  of  requiring  two  D's 
below  C  as  a  minimum  require- 
ment. The  new  standard  Is  in 
most  cases  the  same  In  practice  as 
the  old.  although  a  few  cases 
might  be  effected  by  the  recogni- 
tion of  plusses  and  minuses. 

Also  beginning  with  the  class  of 
1958  the  minimum  standard  in 
June  of  the  year  of  graduation 
will  be  4.0  In  the  major.  Unchan- 
ged are  rulings  requiring  passing 
the  major  exam  to  graduate  and 
counting  the  major  examination 
as  one-fifth  the  major  grade.

Attitude  Versus  System 

The  RECORD  welcomes  the  i^assage  of  tlie  new  Rushing 
Propo.siil  and  helieves  that  such  a  change  in  systems  could  lead  to 
a  nioie  stable  fraternity  setu])  at  Williams.  It  has  made  great  ste|)s 
towards  the  .solution  of  dirty  rushing,  stratification  and  total  ojipor- 
tnnity.  At  the  same  time,  it  should  he  realized  that  a  new  rush- 
ing system  must  also  be  accompanied  by  a  change  in  attitudes. 

As  an  example,  the  Rushing  Re]iort  states  that  the  problem  of 
dirty  rushing  cannot  be  sohed  by  stiffer  |X'nalties  or  e\en  more 
laws.  Rather  the  cure  lies  within  the  indiyiduals  concerned  with 
the  ]5rocess  of  rushing.  The  Rushing  Committee's  recommendation 
that  all  houses  pass  a  resolution  pledging  all  members  not  to  \io- 
late  the  Rushing  Agreement  is  jirobably  the  most  certain  and  safest 
method  of  combatting  dirty  rushing. 

The  gra\e  ])roblem  of  stratification  cannot  be  solved  by  <|iu)tas 
or  bounce  sessions,  but  rather  by  a  "mutual  appreciation  of  each 
other's  character"  (Zimmerman  Letter).  One  of  the  great  adxan- 
tages  of  deferred  rushing  is  that  it  gives  the  freshman  an  op]ioi- 
tmiity  to  know  his  classmates.  Unfortunately,  the  fraternities  have 
not  utilized  this  conse((uence  of  deferred  rushing.  As  a  result,  the 
split  between  the  so-called  "strong  houses"  and  "weak  houses "  has 
been  allowed  to  become  widened. 

As  evidence  of  this,  one  need  only  look  at  the  grouii  of  houses 
that  gather  together  on  houseparties  year  after  year.  Houses  hax'c 
a  tendency  to  mo\e  within  a  certain  circle  within  the  fraternity 
group.  The  same  holds  true  on  guest  night.  The  ultimate  result 
is  that  the  fraternities  remain  in  groups  with  little  intermingling  be- 
tween them.  This,  of  course,  increases  stratification. 

More  movement  within  the  fraternities  coidd  If.ssen  stratifi- 
cation and  certainly  strengthen  the  system. 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

Whether  it  willed  it  or  not,  the  Williams  College  community 
was  the  spawning  ground  of  the  largest  percentage  sjiread  of  the 
Christian  Religion  since  the  conversion  of  Constantine  in  312  A.  D. 
Christian  foreign  missionary  work  from  the  United  States  arose 
and  flourished.  |irodded  liy  five  Williams  College  students  who 
got  wet  in  a  mid-Smiimer  1806  rainstorm  and  talked  conversion 
under  a  sheltering  haystack.  This  is  no  small  bit  of  history,  and 
considering  the  tenor  of  the  19th  Centiuy,  was  an  admirable  meth- 
od of  bringing  a  touch  of  civilization  to  Kipling's  "lesser  breeds 
without  the  Law". 

Today,  however,  the  em|5hasis  has  changed,  and  the  churches 
are  looking  more  toward  grooming  native  leaders  than  sending 
starry-eyed  seminary  graduates  to  shift  for  themselves.  This  cl'.ange 
is  somid  practically,  for  obvious  reasons,  as  it  is  ideologically. 

Thus,  150  years  after  the  Haystack  meeting,  Williams  students 
again  have  a  chance  to  be  pioneers  in  the  field  they  so  enriched 
in  1806.  Spurred  by  the  W.C.C.  and  backed  by  a  committee  of  28 
interested  students,  a  real  opportunity  has  arisen  for  bringing  a 
native  foreign  Christian  leader  for  education  at  Williams  College. 
The  college  has  agreed  to  remit  tuition,  and  the  Fraternities  will 
provide  board.  All  that  is  needed  is  an  estiiuated  $10(K)  for  exjien- 
ses  of  travel  and  everyday  living.  If  all  would  give  $1.00,  more  or 
less,  per  student,  at  the  college,  it  would  be  enough. 

Fifty  years  ago  thousands  of  church  people  swarmed  over  the 
Williams  campus  in  commemoration  of  the  Haystack  centennial. 
Ne.xt  fall  the  college  plans  a  coiuparable  ceremony  with  nationwide 
publicity.  In  connection  with  this  celebration  the  .student  body 
has  the  opportimity  to  provide  a  good  Western  education  to  a 
foreign  Christian  from  a  non-Christian  country.  He,  in  turn,  can 
give  us  the  benefit  of  his  experience.  After  the  exchange  he  will  be 
able  to  retmti  to  his  pcojile,  a  man  of  education  and  j^restige,  and 
help  them  in  whatever  way  he  sees  fit. 

It  is  rare  that  we  have  such  a  positive  opportunity  to  help 
improve  the  lot  of  our  fellow  men,  and  I  hope  that  many  Williams 
men  will  recogmze  this  fact  by  their  sujijiort. 


Sincerely, 
,Rod  Ward

1)1/  Ernie  linhoff 

Probably  one  of  the  most  successful  areas  of  eounnon  interest, 
through  the  years,  between  Williams  College  and  the  people  ol 
Willianistown,  can  be  located  in  the  operation  ami  admiuistiation 
ol  the  Williamstown  Hoys'  (>'lub.  In  this  blemling  of  traditionally 
distant  groups,  the  original  principles  of  the  Roys  Clubs  of  Ameri- 
ca, foundetl  exactly  50  years  ago,  provide  an  excellent  exemplifica- 
tion of  brodierhood. 

Following  the  organization  of  the  club  in  1905  by  interested 
townspeople,  the  Williams  Christian  Associalioji  established  a 
Hoys'  Work  Committee  which  aided  in  club  activities,  the  Boy 
Scouts  and  Sunday  School  classes.  Since  those  early  days,  the  club 
has  seen  many  physical  changes  (the  old  school  house  on  Cole 
Avemie  being  changed  to  the  present  club  house)  but  the  pur- 
pose as  a  member  of  the  national  Roys'  Clubs  of  America  has  re- 
mained constant;  "to  promote  the  health,  social,  educational,  vo- 
cational and  character  development  of  boys."  While  the  Roys'  Club 
itself  is  not  a  religious  organization  in  any  sectarian  sense,  its 
teachings  are  rooted  in  religious  ])rinciples.  The  greatest  emphasis, 
both  today  and  yesterday,  is  autl  has  been  on  leadership  and  guid- 
ance. In  recent  years,  two  faculty  members  of  Williams  have  car- 
lied  the  responsibility  of  directtir,  Re\'.  William  C.  Cole,  former 
member  of  the  Roarcl,  and  the  present  executive  director,  William 
E.  McCoiinick,  thus  relieving  Coach  Ted  Sylvester  of  14  years 
at  the  helm. 

The  Williams  C:ollege  Chapel  Chapter  of  the  local  Roys'  Club 
consists  ot  about  o5  E])h  men  of  whom  Ron  Anderson  '58  is  the 
student  chairman.  Tlie  regularly  assigned  duties  of  the  members 
consist  of  opening  the  club  fi\e  nights  a  week,  from  Monday  to 
Fritlay,  from  7-9  p.  m.  The  main  core  of  responsibility  during  a 
typical  night  is  the  organization  of  gami's,  tomiiainents  and  general 
snper\ision  of  the  activities  ot  town  members,  nnmberiug  over 
200.  Basketball,  boxing,  swimming  and  hockey  are  included  in  the 
sports.  During  the  recent  winter,  as  in  the  past,  the  athletic  cate- 
gory of  the  |)rogram  included  the  formation  of  a  four  team  basket- 
ball league.  Rain  Cmney  '56,  Dick  Lehrbach  '58,  Jerry  Rardin  ,59 
and  Tom  Daxidson  '59,  lent  their  talents  as  coaches.  At  the  conclu-

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

Editor's  Note:  The  RECORD  recominendi  lluit  the  writer 
read  Part  II  Section  C  of  the  new  Rushing  Report  dealhtti  with  ll,c 
rejeclion  of  anil  m/steni  of  open  communication. 

To  the  Editor  of  the  HKCOUD: 

T.  Price  Ziinmernian's  letter  in  last  Wednesday's  Record  is 
superb  in  its  indignation,  but  it  misses  the  point  entirely.  1  hr. 
liexe  that  deferrecrrushing  has  given  rise  to  a  situation  where  "iv- 
la.xatiou"  of  the  rules  is  essential  in  order  to  be  fair  to  the  rnshci-s 
and  the  hou.ses. 

During  their  freshinuii  year,  these  men  will  iindoulitedly  hmc, 
hirmecl  strong  friendships.  It  is  not  a  (juestion  of  "cli<|ues",  it  is 
simply  that  some  fellows  would  rather  be  with  each  other  tlim 
with  anybody  else.  Tlii'y  have  had  eight  moiitlis  in  which  to  clioiisn 
their  liest  friends.  I  believe  that  they  have  a  right  to  be  assure  il, 
if  ]5ossil)le,  that  these  friends  will  be  fraternity  brothers  with  wlicnn 
they  will  eat  anil  liw  for  the  next  three  vems.  Surely,  collf.ie 
sophomores  should  be  mature  enough  to  make  that  decision, 

In  short,  1  advocate  legali/ing  the  package  deal.  It  will  insme 
that  friends  remain  together.  This  should  be  the  main  pnrpo.se  nf 
a  fraternity;  to  establish  a  stronger  bond  between  those  who  lia\e 
already  chosen  each  other's  company  and  friend.ship. 

The  fraternities'  greatest  error  is  the  emphasis  on  "seleetivitv ", 
for  I  can  jioiiit  to  any  number  of  situations  where,  in  an  objeeliM' 
sense,  such  a  ])riuciple  is  pro\ed  fallacious.  Hather  a  frateniit\'s 
purpose  is  to  bring  togedier  a  group  of  congenial  men  who  will 
to  be  together.  I  therefore  feel  that  any  individual  or  group  li.is 
a  right  to  know  his  or  their  status  in  respect  to  a  Iraternitv,  In  fad, 
I  am  radical  enough  to  belie\e  that  this  is  the  only  way  a  realistic 
and  ecinitable  system  for  total  opportunity  can  come  about.  Kacli

PHI  BETA  KAPPA,  I  LOVE  YOU ! 

Once  there  wa.s  a  Chi  Omevra  named  Alfi-eda  reetato  who 
wa.s  beautiful  and  well-formed  and  wore  clothes  of  the  mo.st 
tasteful  cut  and  .smoked  the  gentlest  of  all  cijrarette.s  -  Philip 
Morris,  of  corris!— and  had,  in  addition  to  the.se  admirable 
qualities,  a  brain  so  massive  and  retentive  that  she  used  to  read 
the  Britannica  just  for  kicks. 

Alfreda  had  one  (jrcat  ambition:  to  be  eloited  to  Phi  Beta 
Kappa.  Cimsequently  she  was  all  a-dither  when  she  heard  a 
rumor  one  night  that  a  man  from  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  selection 
board  was  coming  over  to  the  Chi  Omega  house  to  interview 
her.  Being  all  a-dither,  Alfreda  sat  down  and  lit  a  Philip  Morris, 
a.s  she  always  did  when  she  was  all  a-dither.  fur  gentle  Philip 
Morris,  as  wise  Alfreda  knew,  is  comfort  to  the  troubled,  balm 
to  the  beset,  and  a  haven  to  the  vexed.  But  gentle  Philip  Morris, 
as  Alfreda,  with  her  mighty  intellect,  was  well  aware,  is  not 
only  a  cigarette  for  times  of  stress  and  strain,  but  also  the 
perfect  accompaniment  to  happiness  and  light.  For  gentle 
Philip  Morris  is  sunny  and  cheery  and  jidly  and  merry  and 
yummy!  All  this  Alfreda,  with  her  giant  cerebellum,  knew. 

By  and  by  there  came  a  loud,  masculine  knock  on  the  door,  and 
Alfreda,  compo.sing  herself,  went  to  answer  it.  "Won't  you  come 
in?"  she  .said  to  the  man  (Uitsidc.  "I  am  Alfreda  Pectate." 

"And  I  am  Ed  Fester,"  said  the  man,  entering  with  a  friendly 
smile.  Ed  had  found  that  a  friendly  smile  was  a  great  asset  in  the 
Venetian  blind  game,  which  happened  to  be  Ed's  game.  lie  had 
nothing  to  do  with  Phi  Beta  Kajipa;  he  had  come  over  to  see 
about  a  new  blind  for  the  house  mother's  bedroom.  Hut,  of 
course,  Alfreda  knew  nothing  of  this. 

"Do  sit  down,"  said  Alfreda. 

"Thanks,  hey,"  said  Ed.  "But  I  can't  stay  long." 

"Of  course,"  said  Alfreda  and  proceeded  without  delay  to 
demonstrate  how  wide  and  comprehensive  was  her  learning. 
"Deer,"  she  said,  "have  no  gall  bladders." 


Weer/'  ^Jie  ^^^/  %veno6ff/lb^crc/erB. 


"I.s  that  so?"  said  Ed,  who  until  this  moment  had  believed 
deer  had  gall  bladders. 

"Ben  Jonson,"  said  Alfreda,  "was  buried  in  a  sitting  po.sition." 

"Hmm,"  said  Ed. 

"  'Fortnight'  is  a  contraction  of  'fourteen  nights,'  "  said 
Alfreda. 

"What  do  you  know!"  .said  Ed. 

"Many  people  think  it  is  forbidden  to  wash  an  American 
flag,"  said  Alfreda.  "That  is  not  true.  It  is  perfectly  proper  to 
wash  an  American  flag." 

"Learn  something  every  day,"  said  Ed. 

"The  smallest  fish  in  the  world,"  said  Alfreda.  "is  the  Pnn- 
daka  Pygmea,  which  is  under  a  half  inch  when  full  grown." 

"How  come  they  buried  that  .lonson  sitting  up?"  said  Ed. 

"It's  terribly  crowded  in  Westminster  Abbey,"  said  Alfreda. 

"Oh,"  said  Ed. 

"Ann  Boleyn  had  six  fingers  on  her  left  hand,"  said  Alfreda. 

"Heavens  to  Betsy!"  said  Ed. 

"Are  there  any  questions  you'd  care  to  ask  me?"  said  Alfreda. 

"Just  one,"  said  Ed.  "How  big  is  your  house  mother's 
window?" 

A  tear  ran  down  Alfreda's  cheek.  "Well,  that's  the  way  it 
goes,  she  sighed.  "You  work  and  slave  and  study  and  then  they 
catch  you  on  a  trick  question !  ...  Oh,  well,  that's  life.  I  guess." 

Forlorn  and  bereft,  she  rose  and  shambled  to  her  bed  and 
fell  upon  It  and  wept  for  several  days.  But  finally  she  pulled 
herself  together,  and  today  she  is  with  Byrd  in  the  Antarctic.

Injuries  Hurt  Ephs 
In  Home  Opener 

by  Dave  Sims 

Wednesday.  Apill  25  —  Open- 
ing their  1956  home  season,  the 
varsity  Lacrosse  team  plays  host 
to  a  strong  Harvard  squad  this 
afternoon  on  Cole  Field.  The  vi- 
sitors win  be  led  by  All  Ameilcan 
Dexter  Lewis,  but  the  Purple 
squad's  confidence  Is  hlKh.  Co- 
Captaln  Bob  Spaeth  said,  "We 
ought  to  take  them,  and  if  we  can 
slow  down  Lewis,  we  will." 

Injuries  could  hurt  the  Ephs 
team  today,  for  It  Is  still  Indefi- 
nite whether  Co-Captains  Spaeth 
and  Edgar  will  be  In  the  lineup. 
Both  are  out  with  foot  injuries  re- 
ceived last  week,  Spaeth's  comlnu 
in  the  Tufts  game.  Dave  Hillaid 
will  al.so  be  side-lined  due  to  in- 
Jury,  but  the  remainder  of  the 
.squad  Is  in  good  shape. 

Smith  at  Goalie 

Coach  Ostendarp  named  the 
tentative  starting  lineup  as:  Bill 
Weaver,  Skip  Cole,  and  Hilary 
Qans  on  the  attack;  Spaeth,  Ed- 
Kar  and  Al  Poehl  at  mldfield  if  the 
former  two  are  ready,  with  Gary 
Rhorlledge  and  Tony  Brockelman 
filling  their  positions  if  they  are 
not:  Tony  Fergucson,  Joe  Perrott 
and  Jim  Smith  at  defense  and 
Buster  Smith  In  the  nets.

Yearling   Netmen 
Play  Kent  Today 


Hard  Schedule  Includes 
Little  Three  Matches 


Wednesday.  April  25  —  The 
Williams  College  fieshman  tennis 
team  journeys  today  to  Kent 
School  in  Kent.  Connecticut  for 
its  opening  match  of  the  young 
season.  The  frosh  schedule  for 
1956  also  includes  matches  with 
Hotchklss.  Deerfield  (twice).  Har- 
vard, Wcsleyan  and  Amherst. 
Coach  Chaffee  has  formed  a  rouKh 
idea  of  his  lineup  although  in 
many  of  the  lower  spots  on  the 
team,  the  situation  is  wide  open. 
Joe  Turner,  Ernie  Fleishman,  and 
Tom  Davidson  will  probably  be 
the  backbone  of  the  largely  inex- 
perienced trosh. 


by  Joe  Albright 

This  is  the  story  about  the  most 
exclusive  bunch  of  athletes  at 
Williams,  the  weight-lifters.  They 
are  a  select  group  of  superrocks 
who  heave  earth-shaking  weights 
three  times  a  week  in  order  to  see 
their  biceps  swell  and  their  chests 
expand  with  Charles  Atlas-like 
I'egulai'ity. 

Weight-lifting  is  not  exactly  a 
spectator  .sport  at  Williams  —  as  a 
matter  of  fact,  if  you  want  to  .see 
this  strong-arm  ciew  in  action, 
you  must  go  through  the  fairly 
devious  piocess  of  finding  the 
weight  loom,  which  is  hidden  in 
the  attic  above  the  squash  courts. 
Stroneest  Lifters 

The  strongest  in  the  hierarchy 
of  stiongmen  work  out  on  Tues- 
day. Thursday,  and  Saturday.  If 
you  walk  into  the  weight  room 
on  any  one  of  these  days,  you  will 
see  Prank  Uible,  Bunny  Kelly. 
Ram  Gurney.  and  Mike  Bird  go- 
ing thiough  their  masochistic 
paces.  On  the  Monday.  Wednes- 
day. Friday  cycle,  the  "weak- 
man's  club"  —  a  rather  facetious 
title  —  meets.  This  Includes  Pete 
Howell,  Rod  Hobson,  Yates  Satter- 
lee,  Mike  Doctoioff,  Woody  Ber- 
ger,  and  Carl  Vogt. 

While  watching  one  of  these 
three-hour  workouts,  you  see  usu- 
ally only  two  men  work  out  at  a 
time. 

Standard   Exercises 

The  standard  exercises  of 
weight-lifting  are  curls,  pi'esses 
and  bench  presses.  Culling  —  an 
innocent  enough  name  —  consists 
of  holding  a  bar  down  at  arm's 
length  and  then  lifting  it  In  an 
arc  up  to  the  chin.  The  average 
man  could  curl  about  85  pounds. 
On  any  day  this  winter  you  might 
see  Frank  Uible  curling  over  190 
pounds.  This  is,  incldently.  about 
70  pounds  off  the  world's  record. 

Another  favorite  exercise  is  call- 
ed the  piess.  This  consists  of  lift- 
ing a  bar  full  of  weights  to  a  po- 
sition at  arm's  length  above  the 
head.  A  non-weight-lifter  who  is 
naturally  fauiy  bricky  could 
swing  around  100  pounds.  Match

McLean  Holds  Bowdoin 
With  Six  Hit  Pitching 
After  Colby  Defeat 


By  Chuck  Dunkel 

Brunswick,  Maine.  April  21  — 
The  Williams  varsity  baseball 
team  defeated  Bowdoin  this  af- 
ternoon 4-3.  behind  the  fine  six 
hit  pitching  of  Righthander  Don 
McLean.  Sophmore  catcher  Marv 
Weinsteln's  seventh  inning  single 
drove  in  the  winning  run  for  Wil- 
liams as  the  Ephs  gained  their 
first  victoi-y  of  the  .season.  This 
was  the  second  game  in  two  days 
for  the  Ephmen.  who  dropped 
their  opener  at  Colby  yesterday, 
10-7. 

Williams  jumped  into  an  early 
lead  against  Bowdoin  by  scoring 
three  times  in  the  first  inning. 
Rick  Power  led  off  and  was  safe 
on  an  error.  Bob  Iverson  sacri- 
ficed him  to  second,  and  succes- 
sive singles  by  Dick  Ennis,  Dick 
Fearon,  and  Dick  Marr  netted 
two  runs  and  left  i-unners  on  first 
and  third.  With  two  outs  Wil- 
liams then  executed  a  perfect  de- 
layed steal,  with  Fearon  scoring 
the  third  run  of  the  inning.  Wil- 
liams held  this  3-0  lead  until  the 
bottom  of  the  sixth,  when  the  Po- 
lar Beais  came  up  with  three  runs 
to  knot  the  score.  The  tie  was 
short-lived,  however,  as  Marr 
opened  the  seventh  with  a  single, 
advanced  to  second  on  a  walk  to 
Dick  Sheehan,  and  came  home 
with  the  winning  run  on  Wein- 
steln's single. 

McLean  Brilliant 

Junior  Don  McLean  pitched 
brilliantly  for  the  Purple,  as  he 
struck  out  seven  and  walked  four, 
stranding  eleven  Bowdoin  base- 
runners.  Ennis.  Marr,  and  Weln- 
stein  each  collected  two  hits  off 
loser  Roy  Dyer,  a  smooth  left- 
hander who  also  pitched  a  fine 
game,  fanning  seven  while  walk- 
ing only  one. 

Against  Colby  the  Ephmen  over- 
came a  1-0  deficit  with  a  five  run

the  high  hurdles  and  high  Jumii 
besides  placing  in  the  100  yard 
dash. 

Karl  Schoeller  gaiired  two  first 
places  for  the  home  squad  as  he

discus  throwing  events.  Williams 
placed  one,  two,  three  in  the 
hammer  throw  with  Bill  Thomas' 
toss  of  132'44"  the  winner. 
Middlebury  Takes  Hurdles 
Although  lacking  depth,  the 
visiting  Panthers  took  both  hurdle 
events  while  the  Ephs  captured 
seconds.  Rich  Miner  captured  the 
low  hurdles,  beating  out  Rick 
Driscoll  while  Charlie  Sykes  of

Matches  Under  Way 
In  S.  U.  Game  Room 


Thursday,  April  19  —  Don 
Smith  '57  was  elected  President 
of  the  Fraternity  Ti-easurer's 
Council  for  the  coming  year,  it 
was  announced  this  evening  by 
retiring  president  Nick  Sterling 
'56.  Amedee  Dean  '58  will  fill  the 
post  of  secretary-treasurer  for  the 
Council. 

The  F.  T.  C.  serves  a  new  and 
vital  function  on  the  campus,  fur- 
nishing a  formal  liason  between 
the  various  houses  and  the  Fra- 
ternity Dining  Service,  in  order 
that  the  houses  might  present  any 
financial  problems  they  liave  and 
receive  help  from  each  other's  ex- 
perience. 

Founded  in  '54 
During  tlie  Spring  of  1954, 
which  was  the  first  year  fresh- 
men were  not  pledged,  the  houses 
anticipated  financial  trouble  be- 
cause they  would  have  the  same 
overhead  with  fewer  members.  The 
FDS  was  already  in  existence  as  a 
commissary  to  the  fraternities, 
and  to  facilitate  relations  with  it 
the  FTC  was  formed. 

The  original  hurdle  has  been 
overcome,  reports  Sydney  M.  Chis- 
holm.  director  of  the  FDS  and 
unofficial  adviser  to  the  FTC.  Mr. 
Chisholm  went  on  to  praise  what 
he  called  "a  heartening  spirit  of 
helpfulness  between  the  fraterni- 
ties." 


Frosh  Play  on  Schedule;

'  Club  .  .  . 


May  11,  12,  and  13.  Fifty  girls  from 
neighboring  colleges  will  light 
upon  Billville  and  combine  with 
W.  C.  C.  to  patch  up  and  mend 
the  summer  camp  on  Northwest 
Hill. 

Commenting  on  the  student  ac- 
tivity concerning  the  Williams- 
town  Boys'  club,  Carl  H.  Imhoff, 
president  of  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors, said:  "Working  with  the  lo- 
cal Buys'  Club  is  an  excellent  op- 
portunity for  students  in  leader- 
ship training,  in  acquiring  the 
knack  of  working  with  both  older 
and  younger  people  and  having 
fun  at  the  same  time.  However, 
the  participation  should  really  go 
beyond  the  limits  of  the  W.  C.  C. 
and  be  of  Interest  to  the  entire 
student  body." 


Saturday,  April  21  —  Under  the 
direction  of  Jim  Mabie  '57.  Chair- 
man of  the  Student  Union  Com- 
mittee, the  annual  college  billi- 
ards, pool,  and  ping  pong  tourna- 
ments are  well  under  way  in  the 
Game  Rooms  of  Baxter  Hall.  Ori- 
ginated two  years  ago,  these  tour- 
naments are  run  off  in  two  divi- 
sions, one  for  freshmen  and  one 
for  upperclassmen.  They  are  in- 
tended to  stimulate  the  extensive 
use  of  facilities  in  Baxter  Hall  by 
the  entire  college. 

Games  in  all  frosh  divisions  arc 
being  played  on  schedule.  How- 
ever, Jim  Bowers  '58,  working  on 
scheduling  the  matches,  reports 
that  the  upper  class  divisions, 
supposedly  a  (luarter  of  the  way 
toward  completion,  are  far  behind, 
and  in  some  cases  have  not  com- 
pleted the  first  round  of  play. 

Plaques  Hung 

Antonio  deLahiguera,  faculty 
advisor  to  the  Student  Union 
Committee,  announces  that  the 
names  of  the  winner  and  runner- 
up  in  each  contest  will  be  recorded 
on  plaques  which  are  now  hanging 
in  the  game  rooms.  In  last  year's 
tournaments  the  upper  class  divi- 
sion was  won  by  Wally  Jensen  '56 
In  ping  pong,  Hack  Hewson  '56  in 
pool,  and  Harry  Comer  '57  in  bil- 
liards. 

Last  year's  freshman  class  pro- 
duced Whitey  Kaufman.  Tom 
Howell,  and  Rich  Kennard  as 
champions  in  ping  pong,  billiards, 
and  pool,  respectively.

to  extend  more  bids  to  "border 
line"  cases  who  might  otherwise  be 
left  out  due  to  duplication  of  bid- 
ding. 

Furthermore,  given  a  fraterni- 
ty's basic  purpose  of  gathering  to- 
gether out  of  the  justifiable  wish 
to  be  together,  enforced  total 
rushing  is  unjust.  Fraternities,  as 
.social  organizations,  have  the 
right  to  pledge  those  they  want 
to  pledge  and  the  right  to  reject 
those  they  do  not  wish  to  pledge. 
Any  rushing  proposal  which  does 
not  recognize  these  facts  is,  I  be- 
lieve, morally  and  socially  mean- 
ingless. 

Respectfully  yours.

White  Mules  came  back  with  two 
runs  in  their  half  of  the  liming 
and  then  exploded  for  five  more 
in  the  third  to  assure  the  victory. 
Fearon  led  off  the  inning  for  Wil- 
liams and  reached  second  on  an 
error  by  the  Colby  shortstop,  scor- 
ing a  moment  later  on  Marr's  sin- 
gle. The  next  two  batters  were  re- 
tired, but  Weinstein  walked,  and 
back-to-back  singles  by  Yankus, 
Hatch,  Power,  and  Ennis  scored 
four  more  runs  before  Fearon 
grounded  out  to  end  the  inning. 
Senior  Tom  Yankus  started  on  the 
mound  for  the  Ephs,  but  it  wa.s 
just  not  his  day.  The  Colby  bat- 
ters teed  off  on  his  southpaw 
slants  for  ten  hits  and  eight  runs 
in  less  than  three  innings. 
Hatch   Hurt 

Dick  Ennis  and  Dick  Fearon 
paced  the  eight  hit  Williams'  at- 
tack on  righthander  Pel  Drown 
with  two  singles  apiece,  while  Don 
Rice  collected  three  hits  to  lead 
Colby.  Fearon's  bases  loaded  sin- 
gle in  the  ninth,  following  Whitey 
Kauffman's  single  and  two  walks, 
gave  the  Ephmen  their  final  ruiis. 
Coach  Bob  Coomb's  squad  suffer- 
ed three  injuries  to  key  men  in 
this  game,  with  Dick  Ennis.  Chuck 
Sperry,  and  Captain  Johnny 
Hatch  each  being  sidelined.  Hatch 
was  the  most  seriously  hurt,  as 
the  sparkplug  shortstop  badly 
wrenched  his  knee  in  the  third

Weightlifting  .  .  . 

this  against  Ram  Burney,  who 
can  go  over  190!  In  the  opinion 
of  mast  of  the  clan,  Gurney  is 
the  best  of  the  weightlifters,  in 
that  he  has  practiced  the  hardest 
and  has  increased  his  strength 
the  most. 

Bench  Press 
Bunny  Kelly  is  by  all  odds  the 
Eph  with  the  most  natural 
strength,  in  the  opinion  of  one  of 
the  other  lifters.  His  feat  of 
bench-pressing  over  270  pounds 
is  ample  proof.  The  only  po.ssible 
challenger  for  the  title  is  Gary 
Shortlidge,  who  bench-pressed  270 
in  his  back  yard  over  the  summer. 
Incidently,  a  bench-press  consists 
of  lying  face-up  on  a  bench,  with 
a  bar  over  your  chest,  and  then 
lifting  it  to  arm's  length  above 
your  head.

At  GOP  Banquet 


Review  of  Three  Sisters 


Wednesday,  April  25  —  Exten- 
sive and  unprecedented  freshman 
activity  will  mark  the  forthcom- 
ing spring  houseparty  weekend.  As 
well  as  a  cocktail  party  and  an 
outdoor  dance  on  Saturday,  the 
class  of  '59  will  present  a  fresh- 
man review  between  .supper  and 
the  all-college  dance  Friday  eve- 
ning at  the  AMT. 

Organized  and  produced  by  Pete 
Culman,  this  review  represents  an 
innovation  in  Williams  College  en- 
tertainment. Featuring  entirely 
original  music,  .skits,  and  vaude- 
ville acts,  the  show,  according  to 
Freshman  Dean  Roy  Lam.son. 
"may  start  a  whole  new  tradition 
of  student  reviews  at  Williams." 

S|i IS  aiul  a  Trampoline 

This  hour  of  entertainment 
'tickets  cost  $1.50  per  couplet 
will  include  two  satires  on  the 
current  cinema,  a  skit  which  pre- 
sents Norman  Vincent  Peale  and 
Bridey  Murphy  together  in  one 
act,  and  a  murder  m.vstery  about 
a  man  in  a  Budapest  bomb  shel- 
ter who  turns  people  into  spoons. 

Other  acts  will  fill  out  the  show: 
a  performance  on  a  trampoline, 
Bulganin  and  Kru,schev  doing  a 
soft-,shoe  dance,  a  mock  ballet, 
and  several  songs.  The  music, 
written  and  arranged  exclusively 
by  freshmen,  will  be  played  by  an 
11 -piece  orchestra. 

Although  plans  for  the  show- 
were  begun  late  in  the  year,  the 
production  is  currently  going  into 
final  rehearsals,  and  producer 
Culman  hopes  confidently  for  suc- 
ce.ss.  Said  Dean  Lam.son:  "If  the 
show  goes  on,  it  promises  to  be  re- 
markable." 

Dancine   and  Cocktails 

Thanks  to  the  efforts  of  the 
Freshman  Social  Council,  under 
the  direction  of  chairman  Herb 
Varnum,  a  cocktail  party  will  be 
held  in  the  Rathskellar  on  Satur- 
day afternoon.  Four  drinks  of 
orange  blossom  punch  will  be  giv- 
en each  couple,  and  a  North  Ad- 
ams dance  band  will  provide  mu- 
sic. 

On  Saturday  night,  from  10  to 
12,  a  dance  will  be  held,  weather 
permitting,  on  the  Student  Union 
parking  lot.  Tlie  smooth  strains 
of  Bill  Tesson's  orchestra  promise 
good  entertainment.

Tue.sday.  April  24  —  An  enthu- 
siastic group  of  .seventy-five  GOP 
supporters  turned  out  this  evening 
for  the  gala  Kick-Off  Banquet  of 
the  Williams  College  Young  Re- 
publican Club.  The  guesUs  were 
treated  to  a  program  of  outstand- 
ing speeches  by  various  party  lea- 
ders, all  of  which  emphasized  the 
vast  need  for  responsible  young 
leader,ship  in  American  politics. 

State  Senator  Silvio  Conte,  who 
presented  the  club's  charter  to 
President  Joe  Young,  '58,  com- 
mended the  new  campus  organi- 
zation as  a  good  beginning  in  the 
direction  of  greater  citizen  inter- 
est in  politics.  He  also  expre.ssed 
the  hope  that  this  club,  and  all 
the  others  like  it,  could  help  alle- 
viate the  apathetic  attitude  to- 
ward politics  which  plagues  a  large 
portion   of  the  nation's  populace. 

Baxter   Speaks 

Williams'  President  .James  Phin- 
ney  Baxter,  3rd  also  administered 
his  stamp  of  approval  to  the  new- 
group  in  a  speech  reminiscent  of 
his  many  years  of  service  to  the 
Grand  Old  Party.  He  introduced 
the  evening's  featured  speaker, 
Mv  ChnrlPS  IVIp-Wbnrlpv  who  is 
Chairman  of  the  National  Federa- 
tion of  Yc:jng  Republican  Clubs. 

In  his  addre.ss,  Mr.  McWhorter 
underscored  the  Party's  belief  in 
the  individual  as  a  human  being, 
rather  than  a  voter  to  be  bought 
and  sold  with  money  from  the 
Federal  Treasury.  He  explained 
the  difficulties  which  the  Eisen- 
hower administration  has  faced  in 
restoring  the  dignity  of  the  indi- 
vidual after  twenty  years  of  Demo- 
cratic domination. 

McWhorter  also  extolled  the 
consistent  reliability  of  GOP  prin- 
ciples as  demonstrated  by  their 
successful  enactment  throughout 
the  nation's  history.  Concerning 
the  1956  election  campaign,  Mc- 
Whorter declared  that  the  Re- 
publicans will  have  to  capture  a 
majority  of  the  nation's  fence-sit- 
ters in  order  to  return  to  the 
White  House  next  year. 


Trustees  Cancel  Aid 

To  Lord  Jeff  Club 


Saturday,  April  28  —  The 
Amherst  College  Board  of 
Trustees  voted  to  withdraw 
Iheir  financial  support  of  the 
Lord  Jeffrey  Amherst  Club  as 
of  July  Isl,  according  to  the 
STUDENT.  The  present  Lord 
Jeff  Club  will  be  turned  into  a 
.social  dormitory  for  the  upper 
three  cla,s.ses  and  will  be  re- 
named Seelye  House. 

The  STUDENT  report  said 
the  trustees  did  not  believe 
that  the  three  members  which 
w-ould  exist  in  the  club  next 
year  would  warrant  continuing 
the  subsidy  which  the  trustees 
liave  been  paying.  Last  year  the 
Jeff  Club  tt-as  unable  to  get  any 
pledges  and  this  year  only  three 
joined. 

100',    Rushing 

The  new-  arrangement  .still 
makes  it  possible  for  those  w-ho 
do  not  wish  to  join  fraterni- 
ties to  do  .so.  even  though  Am- 
lierst  has  achieved  lOOV  rushing 
for  the  last  five  years. 

The  trustees  pointed  out  the 
flexibility  of  their  resolution 
and  indicated  several  other 
paths  Seelye  House  might  fol- 
low- in  the  future:  rebirth  of 
the  Lord  Jeff  Club:  formation 
of  a  local  fraternity:  formation 
of  a  national  chapter;  or  a  dor- 
mitory w-ith  different  privileges 
from  the  ones  now  contempla- 
ted.

Phi  Beta  Kappa  Panel  Discusses  Goethe's  Taust'; 
France,  Donovan,  Profs  Cole,  Fitzell  Air  Opinions 


Saturday,  April  28  -  Last  Wed- 
nesday evening  the  Williams  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  society  presented  an- 
other in  their  series  of  "Ideas, 
Books  and  Men"  panels,  Goethe's 
"Faust"  was  the  subject  of  the 
discourse,  which  was  led  by 
Me.s.srs.  Alec  France  '56,  J,  A. 
Donovan  '5fi,  and  Professors  Cole 
ot  Religion  and  Fitzell  of  German. 

Al  France,  the  panel's  first 
speaker,  went  into  a  treatment  of 
Goethe's  life  history,  as  a  back- 
ground tor  "Faust".  He  made  an 
interesting  point  of  showing  how 
events  ir  the  writer's  life  caused 
"an  evolution  of  style  and 
thought"  in  the  50  years  it  took 
to  write  the  masterwork.  France 
traced  his  early  childhood  and 
education  ("five  languages  at  the 
age  of  14"i,  and  then  went  on  to 
a  more  Important  consideration, 
the  influences  of  his  ,seeminRly  in- 
numerable love  affairs, 

Donovan's   Speech 

J  A.  Donovan  was  the  second 
,spenker  of  the  evening.  It  was 
his  task  to  present  the  outlines  of 
the  plot  of  "Faust".  First  he  re- 
constructed the  basic  situation  of 
the  play:  the  wager  between  God

and  the  devil,  Mephlstopheles, 
over  the  soul  of  Faust.  He  then 
proceeded  with  a  fairly  literal  des- 
cription of  the  important  ,scenes; 
in  which  Mephlstopheles  attempts 
unsuccessfully  to  win  the  soul  of 
the  "good  man"  Faust  away  from 
the  Lord.

speech,  dwelt  on  the  particularly

Saturday,  April  28  —  This  week- 
end, old  Eph  takes  great  plea.sure 
in  welcoming  the  parents  of  many 
of  his  adopted  sons  to  a  short  but 
lively  and  iwe  hopei  sunny  so- 
journ in  the  Berkshires.  By  Wed- 
nesday, 401  parents  had  accepted 
the  invitations  sent  out  by  Pres. 
Baxter's  office  and  the  jjiogram 
of  events  set  up  for  them  promi,ses 
to  make  their  visit  a  pleasant  one. 

Purpose   and    Origin 

The  pui-pose  of  Parents'  Day  is 
"to  give  parents  the  opportunity  of 
vi.siting  their  Williams  men,  to 
sec  their  college  and  to  meet  the 
students  and  faculty  members 
with  whom  they  are  in  daily  con- 
tact". The  college  feels  that  the 
closer  the  parenUs  get  to  the 
school,  the  belter  job  the  school 
can  do  for  their  sons. 

Parents'  Day  is  part  of  a  long- 
range  program  devised  by  the  late 
Roger  Preston  '22,  who  was  a  Wil- 
liams Trustee  and  President  of  the 
S.  S.  Pierce  Co. 

KORistration 

First  on  the  schedule  is  regis- 
liation.  Parents  who  did  not  re- 
gister yesterday  may  do  so  today 
in  the  meal-tickel  booth  opposite 
the  Snack  Bar  in  Baxter  Hall.  So 
that  their  slay  in  -Winiamstown 
may  be  as  worthwhile  as  possible, 
a  number  of  useful  items,  such  as 
maps  of  the  campus,  program.'  of 
event.s  and  ;;chedules  of  c'-^isscs  will 
be  available  in  the  registration 
booth.  Parents  will  also  have  an 
opportunity  to  phone  from  the 
booth  for  individual  appointments 
n-ith  instructors. 

During  the  morning,  parents 
and  guests  are  invited  to  visit 
regularly  scheduled  ela.sses. 

MorninB    Program 

The  Second  Annual  Parente' 
Day  Program  will  be  held  this 
morning  at  11:15  in  Chapin  Hall. 
President  Baxter  will  open  the 
Program  and  introduce  the  main 
speaker,  Richard  A.  Newhall, 
Brown  Professor  of  History.  Prof. 
Newhall  will  address  the  parents 
both  as  a  teacher  and  as  one  ot 
them,  and  will,  he  says,  "try  to 
reassure  them  that  we  are  not  at- 
tempting to  indoctrinate  their 
sons!" 

Directly  following  the  program, 
a  picnic  luncheon  will  be  served 
at  Weston  Field.  Those  who  take 
a  dim  view  of  the  fare  usually  of- 
fered on  such  occasions  may  be  in- 
terested to  know  that  the  menu 
will  include  roast  beef  and  chick- 
en sandwiches.  In  case  of  rain, 
luncheon  will  be  served  in  Bax- 
ter Hall,  and  an  afternoon  pro- 
gram w-111  be  presented  at  3  p.  m. 
in  Chapin  Hall. 

Afternoon  Events 

This  afternoon,  practically 
everyone  should  be  able  to  satisfy 
his  type  of  sporting  interest.  First 
on  the  list  is  a  tennis  match  be- 
tween the  Freshmen  and  Hotch- 
kiss at  2  p.  m.  At  2:30  the  Varsity 
Baseball  Team  will  open  their 
season  against  the  American  In- 
ternational College  at  Weston 
Field,  and  the  Frosh  Lacrossemen 
will  lake  on  Darrow-  school  on  Cole 
Field.  For  those  who  like  the  unu- 
sual, an  exhibition  game  of  the 
comparatively  little-known  game 
of  field  hockey  will  be  played  at 
3:30  on  Cole  Field.  Competing  will 
be  the  Montreal  All-Stars  and  the 
Rye-Greenwich  Field  Hockey 
Club. 


metrically  opposed  to  the  western 
concept,  he  showed.  At  the  con- 
clusion of  the  play,  Faust  is  re- 
deemed, even  though  he  has  com- 
mitted many  crimes,  ranging  from 
debauchery  to  murder.  He  is  saved 
because  he  has  never  relinquished 
his  drive  for  action,  experience, 
and  creativity.  The  devil  loses  in 
the  end  because  he  could  never 
satiate  Faust  to  tlie  point  where

A  "don't  mi,ss  it"  event  will  be 
the  Student  Panel  at  4  p.  m,  in 
Jesup  Hall,  in  which  a  group  of 
students  who  recently  went  to 
Washington  with  Political  Science 
Instructor  R.  L.  Gaudino  will  give 
their  impressions  of  who  and  what 
they  saw-.

BOOK  REVIEW 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  Uie  BECORD; 

The  athletic  set-up  at  Williams  College  probably  rauks  as  cue 
of  the  most  iudiffereut  amoug  the  New  Eiii^land  small  eolleyes. 
This  thought  has  been  bothering  many  undergraduates  tor  several 
yeius,  at  least  for  the  three  years  I  have  been  hi're. 

This  whole  situation  reached  a  breaking  point  in  my  mind 
while  participating  in  \'arsity  Lacrosse  this  spring.  It  can  also  be 
presumed  that  the  ditficidties  herein  encountered  aie  also  met  in 
the  other  less  publicized  sports.  In  oiu'  o])ening  two  games,  we 
were  obliged  to  wear  Football  practice  jersevs  since  the  old  jer- 
seys were  too  small  due  to  repeated  launderings  o\er  the  vears. 
With  no  college  assistance,  each  plaver  elected  to  purchase  his  own 
game  jersev  rather  than  continue  with  the  present  a|)pearanee  of 
the  team. 

Even  under  the  economi/ing  central  bnving  system  of  the 
Student  Union,  oulv  two  training  meals  could  be  offered  for  the 
four  home  games.  ()n  the  opening  awav  game  at  Tults,  the  iilayers 
received  .$1.2.5  each  to  pinchase  a  scpiare  meal.  .As  lor  home  playing 
conditions,  the  varsity  practice  and  gaine  field  was  lined  one  day 
before  the  oiiening  home  game,  while  the  ]5lavers  had  to  guess  at 
boundary  lines  for  the  first  three  weeks  of  jiractiee.  And,  when 
some  of  our  faithful  rooters  come  to  the  games,  tbev  will  be  with- 
out the  accommodation  of  the  small  stands  usiuiUy  erected. 

It  is  not  that  we  cxjiect  e\  erything,  since  we  are  <|uite  willing 
to  jjnrchase  om'  own  sticks  and  glo\es  at  a  considerable  expense. 
We  realize  that,  unlike  football  and  basketball,  we  do  not  bring  in 
any  money  and  cannot  expect  the  same  treatment  as  these  teams. 
However,  teams  like  soccer  and  swimming  seem  to  enjoy  better 
treatment,  while  not  bringing  in  any  more  money.  Mavbe  with  a 
little  more  consideration  from  the  athletic  hierarchy.  Lacrosse, 
like  soccer  and  swimming,  could  bring  an  added  measure  of 
prestige  to  Williams  athletics

Lacrosse  at  Williams  to  the  statme  it  has  achiexed  at  Um'on,  New 
Hamjjshire,  Tufts  and  RPl,  to  name  a  few.  Certainly  a  sport  which 
has  the  |3articipation  of  41  upper-classmen  deserves  a  chance  to 
prove  itself. 

It  is  easy  for  the  student  body  to  sit  back  and  scoff  at  the  La- 
crosse team's  perennial  losing  record  —  hut  is  it  all  the  team's 
fault?  Lacrosse  at  Williams  is  blessed  with  a  coach  who  wants  to 
build  a  team  which  can  rejiresent  Williams  with  pride,  but  the 
discouragements  are  almost  insmnioimtable.

-Mark  Hopkins  and  the  Log 
Frederick  liudolph  '42 
Vale  University  Press,  New  Haven,  19,50,  239  pp..  $4.75 

"Buildings,  grounds,  apjiaratus,  funds,  are  but  instruments, 
Mark  Hopkins  obsei\-ed  in  tlu' closing  hunrs  of  his  presidency  ol 
Williams.  "There  is  a  false  impression  in  regard  to  the  benelils 
to  undergraduates  of  the  aceunuilation  of  materials  and  books,  and 
of  a  large  number  of  teachers."  Needless  to  say,  Hopkins  would  be 
hopelessly  out  of  step  with  current  eilueational  theor\'.  Fred  Hu- 
dolph  '42  is  not  urging  that  the  clock  be  turned  back,  but  he  does 
remind  us  that  llojikins'  standards  for  the  "ideal  college"  are  mil 
anachronisms. 

Williams  '.5(i  can  still  sympathise  with  the  tllass  of  lS.5(j,  w4ueli 
appointed  a  committee  to  re(|uest  that  les.sous  in  history  be  eon- 
fined  to  no  more  than  eight  pages  and  the  undi-rgrachiate  ol  l.StiO 
who  wrote  home  "Williamstown  is  shockingly  lonely ...  1  suspect 
that  they  keep  the  girls  tied  up  or  that  the\  stay  abed  all  the  while, 
it's  so  cold."  The  Social  Council  will  find  solace  that  2()tli  eentniy 
rushing  probk'nis  are  mori'  subtle  than  llitise  of  1.S41  which  in- 
spired undergraduates  to  walk  the  streets  with  clubs  "eitlu'r  lor 
purposes  of  attack  or  of  self-defense." 

It  would  almost  appi'ar  that  the  Colk'ge  has  changed  only  in 
degree,  lint  its  cNolutiou  has  been  lar  more  tundamental.  "Maik 
Hopkins  and  the  Log"  is  an  account  of  the  passing  of  ri4igions 
con.servatism  —  the  making  of  modern  Williams.  Hopkins  or  no, 
the  College  which  had  been  lauded  by  the  Commonwealth  in 
1842  for  giving  "persons  of  small  pecuniary  means  an  0])p(ntuiu't\ 
of  obtaining  a  liberal  education"  was  by  1872  engulfed  by  "wealth, 
fashion,  city  manners,  and  all  the  re(|uirenu'nts  of  worldly  suc- 
cess" —  a  nn'rror  of  the  social  change  ol  .\nierica  at  this  period. 
Williams  histoiv  from  this  date  is  the  changis  which  materialism 
brought  to  the  school  ol  Mark  Hopkins  as  it  did  to  the  I'.  ,S. 

The  College  has  a  wonderful  history.  With  the  literar\'  skill

Track  Squad  Seeks  Second  Win 


Tuesday,  April  24  -  -  The  Wil- 
liams varsily  tennis  learn  deteuled 
MIT  this  ufteinoon  6-0,  in  a 
match  shortened  by  duikne.ss.  The 
,sin(!les  did  not  ,stni't  until  late  in 
the  afternoon  due  to  the  late  ar- 
rival of  the  MIT  ,squad,  and  there- 
fore the  doubles  were  not  played. 
The  visitors  had  originally  can- 
celed this  match  on  Monday,  but 
due  to  a  mix-up  on  their  part  they 
arrived  today  just  as  the  Ephmen 
were  finishing  practice,  and  Conch 
Chaffe(^  good  naturedly  rounded 
up  his  Ki|Uad. 

Co-captain  Wally  Jensen  played 
in  his  usual  first  singles  spot  and 
had  no  trouble  downing  AM  of 
MIT,  8-0,  6-4.  Karl  Hlrshman  at 
.second  singles  defeated  McLough- 
lin  without  losing  a  game,  6-0,  0-0, 
while  Dave  IjConard  had  the 
toughest  match  of  the  day  at 
third  singles,  finally  downing 
Hough,  6-4,  0-6,  6-1.  Tom  Shul- 
man  at  fourth  singles  won  easily 
over  Draut,  6-1,  6-2,  and  Bob 
Kingsbury  played  well  in  liis  first 
varsity  singles  match,  downing 
Pease  6-1,  6-1  in  the  fifth  match. 
Bower  Merrlam  at  sixth  sinnles 
completed  the  shutout  for  the 
Purple   by    dropping    Griffin,   6-1, 

This  was  the  .second  victory 
without  a  defeat  for  the  Eph  net- 
ters,  who  defeated  Army  in  their 
first  outing.  On  Friday.  April  27. 
the  Chaffcemen  journey  to  Provi- 
dence, R.  I.  to  oppose  Brown  Uni- 
versity, This  will  be  the  12lh 
meeting  between  the  tennis  .squads 
of  the  two  schools  in  a  series  dat- 
ing back  to  1904,  and  Williams 
has  won  nine  of  these  contests 
while  losing  one  and  tying  one. 
Brown  Coach  Art  Palmer  does  not 
figure  to  have  as  fine  a  team  as 
last  season. 


Saturday,  April  28  -^  Led  uy 
field-event  stalwarts  Karl  Schoel- 
ler  and  Charlie  Sehweighauser 
and  runners  Bill  Fox  and  Holz 
Ports,  the  Williams  varsity  track 
team  takes  on  M.  I.  T.  and  Tufts 
today  in  a  triangular  meet  on 
M,  I.  T.'s  Briggs  Field.  The  Eph- 
men will  be  after  their  second  vic- 
tory of  the  young  season  after  a 
decisive  87-48  defeat  of  Middle- 
bury  last  Saturday.  However, 
Tufts'  Jumbos,  who  walked  away 
from  Boston  University  and  Bow- 
doin,  should  piove  much  more 
formidable  opponents  while  the 
untried  Tech  team  also  has  some 
standouts. 

All  of  the  big  point-scorers  in 
last  week's  meet  run  into  tough 
competition  today.  Schoeller  will 
face  M.  I.  T.'s  50-foot  .shot-putter, 
John  Moorefield.  Schweighau.scr 
takes  on  Tufts'  23-foot  broad- 
Jumper  Bruce  Moore  and  6  foot 
high-jumper,  Vic  Fauron.  With 
Captain  Andy  Smith  out  of  the 
sprints,  ,soph  John  Schlmmel  is 
the  Eplis'  main  hope.  Sophs  Pox. 
Carroll  and  Murphy  face  Tufts' 
Dick  Gavoor  and  Pane  Haltaerg  in 
the  middle  distances. 

Coach  Tony  Plansky,  faced  with 
an  array  of  opposing  standouts. 
hopes  to  capture  the  victory  with 
Williams'  depth.  Jim  Murphy  will 
try  to  score  behind  Fox  in  tlie 
quarter  while  Jim  Hecker  and 
Dick  Clokey  will  back  up  Po;ts 
in  the  di.stance  events.  Schweig- 
hau.scr, Schoeller  and  Rick  Dris- 
eoll  make  Williams'  scoring  chan- 
ces excellent  in  the  hurdles  and 
Schoeller  and  Dri,scoU  should 
place  in  the  lows  behind  Tufts' 
Wells.  Pete  Riley  will  carry  the 
Ephmen's  hopes  in  the  pole  vault.

What  young  people  are  doing  of  General  Electric 


Young  chemical 

engineer  works 

on  new  ways 

to  make  silicones 

Silicones  are  a  new  class  of  nian-nuiileelu'nil- 
cals  with  very  unusual  pioperlics.  Made  from 
sand,  ihcy  assunu-  the  form  of  ruMicr.  grease, 
oil  and  resin.  Under  extremes  of  iieat  and 
cold,  the  riiiilier  slays  riil)l)rry.  tlie  oil  oily- 
Silicones  added  lo  fahrics  make  tliem  e\re])- 
tionnlly  water-repellent.  Silicone  makes 
waxes  spread  easier  .  .  .  paints  alinosl  imper- 
vious lo  weather. 

One  of  the  men  responsilile  fur  finding  new 
ways  lo  produce  silicone  products  is  2f)year- 
old  Frank  V.  Summers. 

Summers'  Work  Interesting,  Important 

As  process  engineer  of  the  Silicone  I'rodticls 
Deparlment.  Frank  .Summers  firsl  compares 
the  rcsidls  of  small-siale,  pilot-plant  experi- 
menls  with  ihe  production  melhoils  in  actual 
use.  Then,  using;  his  own  knowledge  of 
chemical-engineering  principles,  he  designs 
faster,  more  eflicienl  ami  nu)re  economical 
methods  of  producing  silicone  ])roducls. 
Frank  Summers'  excellent  training,  diversi- 
fied experience  and  onlslanding  jicrsonal 
qualifications  make  him  a  valuaMc  conlrilm- 
tor  lo  this  engineering  learn. 
25,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 

When  Frank  Summers  came  lo  (lencral 
Electric  in  1919,  he  already  knew  llie  kind 
of  work  he  wanted  lo  do,  Fike  each  of  our 
25,000  college-graduate  employees,  he  was 
given  his  cliance  lo  grow  and  realize  his  full 
potenlial.  For  General  Electric  has  long  he- 
lieved  this:  Whenever  fresh  young  minds  arc 
given  the  freedom  lo  make  progress,  every- 
hody  benefits  — ihe  individual,  llie  company, 
and  the  country.

Amherst  Nine  Boasts 
Strong  Pitching  Staff 


Amherst,  April  28  —  Amherst  is 
blessed  with  an  exceptionally 
strong  pitching  staff  this  year, 
base  ball  coach  Paul  Eckley  re- 
ports. Heading  the  staff  is  south- 
paw Ted  Kambour,  who  Eckley 
feels  has  the  stuff  and  experience 
of  a  good  college  hurler. 

This  array  of  talent  should 
prove  to  be  trouble  for  Williams 
when  the  Little  Three  rivals  get 
together  in  May. 

Two  other  outstanding  pitchers 
for  the  Jeffs  are  Fran  Seery  and 
Jim  Krumsiek.  "Seery  could  well 
be  our  best  hurler,  but  he  still  gets 
nervous  in  a  tight  situation.  If  he 
can  overcome  that  and  get  some 
confidence  he'll  be  tops,"  Eckley 
said,  Krumsiek  has  altered  his 
style  and  is  improving  rapidly. 

The  Jeffs'  hitting  is  nothing  to 
sneeze  at  either.  They  stand  sec- 
ond among  the  five  Western  Mas- 
sachusetts schools  with  a  .243 
team  average.  Bob  King  is  the  top 
slugger,  batting  a  fat  ,571,  Bill 
Ziengerfus  is  second,  hitting  .461. 


Parents'   Day  Crowd 
To    Witness    Contest 


Injury  Sidelines  Hatch; 

Power  Starts  at  SS 


Thursday,  April  26  —  The  base- 
bail  game  between  Williams  and 
Middlehury  scheduled  for  today  at 
Middlebury,  Vt.  was  canceled  be- 
cause of  rain. 


Saturday,  April  28  —  The  Wil- 
liams College  baseball  team  will 
play  its  opening  home  game  on 
Weston  Field  today  at  2:30  before 
an  Upperclass  Parent's  Day  crowd. 
The  Ephmen,  who  have  piled  up 
an  enviable  record  on  their  spring 
trip  and  early  season  games,  will 
face  an  American  International 
College  squad  that  recently  de- 
feated Middlebury  by  a  5-2  score. 

Williams  will  play  without  the 
services  of  their  captain  and 
.shortstop  John  Hatch  who  will 
probably  be  out  lor  the  season 
witli  an  injured  leg  which  he  ac- 
quired fielding  a  ground  ball  in 
the  Colby  game.  Rick  Power  will 
move  from  second  base  to  short- 
stop and  Dick  Sheehan  will  take 
over  the  second  base  slot  to  fill 
the  place  left  by  the  loss  of  Hatch. 

McLean  Starts 

Coach  Bobby  Coombs  is  sche- 
duled to  start  Don  McLean  a- 
gainst  AIC  this  afternoon.  The 
starting  pitcher  has  compiled  a 
record  of  one  win  and  no  defeats 
with  his  victory  coming  at  the 
expense  of  Bowdoin.  Marv  Wein- 
steln.  who  has  been  belting  the 
ball  like  a  Williams  version  of 
Yogi  Berra,  will  form  the  other 
half  of  the  Eph  battery.  Coach 
Coombs  will  roundout  his  lineup 
with  Dick  Marr  at  first  base,  Dick 
Fearon  at  third,  "Ivy"  Iverson  in 
left,  Dick  Ennis  in  center,  and 
Clark  Sperry  in  right  field. 

Ennis  has  taken  over  where  he 
left  off  with  his  amazing  hitting 
last  year.  He  has  gotten  at  least 
two  hits  in  every  game  up  to  date 
and  figures  to  lead  the  Ephmen 
in  hitting  percentage.  Fearon  will 
hit  in  the  clean  up  spot  where  he 
has  been  producing  the  big  blows. 
The  Williams  freshmen  led  by 
Coach  Len  Watters  also  open 
their  season  today  facing  RPI  in 
Troy,  New  "ifork.

Greene  to  Leave 
For  Policy  Study 

Professor  to  Investigate 
Problems  of  Military 


Wednesday,  April  25  —  Fred 
Greene,  of  the  Political  Science 
Department,  said  today,  in  an  in- 
terview, that  he  will  be  on  leave 
next  year  for  academic  research. 
Greene  is  Assistant  Professor  of 
Political  Science  at  Williams. 

He  stated  that  he  will  take  up 
residence  in  Washington,  D.  C. 
next  year,  and  will  plan  to  do  most 
of  his  research  there.  Greene  is 
concentrating  his  etfortjj  on  a 
study  of  American  Military  Poli- 
cy and  is  planning  to  study  in  de- 
tail the  period  from  1921  to  1932. 

The  main  emphasis  of  this 
study,  Mr.  Greene  stated,  will  be 
placed  on  the  discovery  of  what 
main  problems  seemed  to  recur 
again  and  again.  Also  he  will  in- 
vestigate the  main  concepts  which 
appeared  at  this  time.  By  making 
such  a  detailed  study  of  the  per- 
iod following  World  War  I,  he 
plans  "to  make  comparLsons  be- 
tween this  past  period  and  the 
present  era." 


Panel 


he  would  pass  into  a  state  of  non 
being,  which  is  for  Goethe  the  de 
finition  of  evil. 

Professor  Fitzell  was  the  for- 
um's last  speaker.  He  began  by 
differing  with  his  colleague  Mr. 
Cole  on  Goethe's  role  as  a  Ger- 
man romantic.  He  went  on  to  a 
rather  deep  discourse  on  the  poe- 
try in  "Faust".  A  main  point  was 
"the  quahty  of  immediacy  and  in- 
tensity" in  the  poetry.  Mr.  Fitzell 
ended  the  evening's  discussion  by 
tracing  a  few  of  the  Important 
images  which  recur  throughout 
the  drama.

All  -  College  Dance  Begins  Party  on  Friday  Evening; 
Raeburn,  Brand,  Kaminsky  to  Entertain  Multitudes 


By  Ernie  Imhoff 

Wednesday.  May  2  -  With  the 
much  anticipated  Spring  Hou.se- 
party  weekend  only  about  48  hours 
away  from  realization,  the  activi- 
ties of  Williams  connoi.sseurs  in- 
volving matters  of  Scotch-Kooler 
checkups,  general  room  swabbin.i: 
and  last  minute  blind  date  man- 
euvers have  picked  up  .steidily. 
Eager,  shining  eyes  are  greedily 
set  upon  the  carefully  calculated 
events  this  Friday,  Saturday,  and 
Sunday.  Slightly  perplexing,  how- 
fver,  to  some  "unenlightened" 
ones  Is  the  musical  lineup  'or  the 
All-College  Dance  Friday  evening 
at  the  Student  Union  . . .  "Who  are 
Boyd  Raebum  and  His  Cavaliers, 
Oscar  Brand  and  Max  Kamin- 
sky?" This  Is  a  good  question. 
"Sweet,  Lush  Music" 

Boyd  Raeburn  formed  his  or- 
chestra while  a  college  student  at 
the  U.  of  Chicago  and  travelled 
through  every  phase  of  music  from 
Ellington  to  Stravinsky  to  arrive 
at  the  conclusion  that  music  for 
dancing  pleasure  is  the  ideal  type 
for  bands.  For  the  delightment  of 
dancers,  the  orchestra  of  Raebum 
and  his  Cavaliers  now  play  pre- 
dominantly what  certain  circles 
label  "sweet,  lu.sh  music". 

Some  of  the  most  famous  in- 
strumentalists In  the  world  have 
been  featured  with  the  group  . . .

College  Council  Passes  Constitution 
For  New  Purple  Key  Organization 

\loii(la\.  ,\pril  .'Bd  -  The  C'olleije  Coimeil  and  Social  (Council 
lonii^jit  resoKcd  to  postpone  a  \iite  on  the  CJari^ox  le  proposal  lor 
total  nisliiny.  M  the  same  time  a  special  eoimiiittee  was  set  up  to 
look  into  proposed  rexisioiis  ol  th<'  plan. 

The  Caif^ovle  proposal  is  that  houses  delegate  to  their  ]jresi- 
deiits  the  antlioritv  to  extend  bids  at  the  end  of  rushiiin  to  all  soph- 
omores  wishinj;  to   join   a   fraternitv  who   ha\c  not   vet   received 

^O final    bids.    Under    the    plan,    the 

meelinK  of  house  presidents  would 
X^n       l.iiAcf c        nAOl*  continue  until  all  rushees  had  re-

more  time  to  consider  the  propo- 
sal. Also  there  was  considerable 
pressure  towards  setting  up  spe- 
cific mechanics  for  the  procedure 
of  such  a  meeting.  The  Commit- 
tee set  up  to  look  into  mechanics 
is  headed  by  Doc  Gould  '67,  and 
includes  F.  R.  Dengel  '57,  Ben 
Wooding  '57,  Jim  Smith  '57.  John 
Winnacker  '57.  Bruce  Listerman 
'59.  and  Jack  Love  '58.  This  com- 
mittee will  submit  its  report  next 
week. 

The   Present    System 

If  the  Gargoyle  proposal  is  re- 
jected, the  clcsest  thing  to  total 
opportunity  will  be  the  system  of 
post-rushing  bids  which  was  in- 
augurated this  fall.  By  this  plan, 
houses  have  the  opportunity  to 
extend  bids  to  rushees  who  have 
either  bounced  through  the  sys- 
tem or  received  no  bids.  Each 
house  president  takes  a  list,  of 
such  rushees  back  to  his  house 
where  they  arc  considered.  Fol- 
lowing this  interval  the  presidents 
meet  and  may.  if  their  houses  de- 
sire, extend  bids.  The  house  which 
has  not  filled  its  quota  gets  first 
choice  of  the  available  group. 

The  CC  also,  in  its  meeting,  ap- 
proved the  new  Purple  Key  con- 
stitution which  will  go  into  effect 
this  May  when  the  first  members 
of  the  new  organization  are  cho- 
sen. The  new  Key  will  be  compos- 
ed of  twelve  incoming  juniors  and 
will  become  self  perpetuating  after 
this  year.  Tlie  group  will  be  in 
charge  of  visiting  teams  and  will 
act  as  general  spokesman  for  ath- 
letic interests  on  campus. 

McKee    Notes    Enthusiasm 

Chairman  of  the  Purple  Key 
Committee,  which  will  choose  the 
first  members  of  the  new  organi- 
zation, is  Ted  McKee  '57.  He  an- 
nounced that  the  job  of  selecting 
the  first  Key  board  would  be  ex- 
tremely difficult  because  of  the 
large  number  of  applications  that 
have   been   received. 

Tlie  CC  also  announced  that  it 
will  soon  set  a  date  for  frosh  rush- 
ing-orientation  meetings. 


Robert    K.    Hess,    Parents'    Day 
supervisor. 


Wednesday.  May  2  -  On  ac- 
count of  forecasts  of  drizzling 
rain,  only  350  of  the  420  parents 
who  made  advanced  reservations 
managed  to  make  it  up  to  Wil- 
liamstown for  the  Parents'  Day 
celebration  last  weekend.  After  re- 
gistering in  Baxter  Hall,  the  mo- 
thers and  fathers  were  presented 
with  name  tags,  maps  of  the 
campus,  and  a  schedule  of  class>,'S 
to  prevent  this  Second  Annual 
Weekend  from  ending  in  mass 
confusion. 

Registration  began  at  10:00  on 
Friday  morning,  but  according  tn 
the  President's  Office,  most  par- 
ents did  not  arrive  until  the  next 
day. 

Special  Ceremony 

The  special  Parents'  Day  cere- 
mony was  held  at  11:45  a.m.  Sat- 
urday in  Chapin  Hall.  Richard  A. 
Newhall,  who  is  retiring  this  year 
as  Brown  Professor  of  History, 
gave  the  keynote  address. 

His  talk,  entitled  "One  Parent 
Speaks  to  Another,"  dealt  with 
the  problem  of  education.  Tlie  on- 
ly purpose  of  going  to  College. 
Newhall  said,  is  to  teach  men  to 
think  for  themselves.  Newhall 
lightened  the  program  with  sev- 
eral of  his  famous  anecdotes.  Pre- 
sident Baxter  also  gave  a  short 
talk. 

Picnic 

After  the  ceremony  in  Chapin 
Hall,  the  parents  and  sons  ad- 
journed to  Weston  Field  for  a 
picnic  with  the  faculty.  The  sun 
shone  obligingly  for  this  outing, 
which  was  judged  a  huge  .success 
by  the  600-odd  people  who  at- 
tended. 

On  Saturday  afternoon  most 
mothers  and  fathers  took  advan- 
tage of  the  fair  selection  of  home 
sports  events.  The  varsity  base- 
ball team  opened  its  home  season 
by  beating  American  International 
College,  7-1.  The  fre.shman  La- 
crosse squad  trounced  Darrow  by 
a  23-3  score.  And  in  a  rather 
novel  contest,  two  male  field  hock- 
ey teams — one  from  Montreal  and 
one  from  Rye-Greenwich — squar- 
ed off  on  Cole  Field.  The  Montreal 
team  won  by  a  1-0  margin. 

The  weekend  ended  with  the 
AMT's  presentation  of  "Three 
Sisters"  by  Chekhov  on  Saturday 
night,  and  by  the  chapel  service 
Sunday  morning,  in  which  Rev. 
Cole  spoke  on  the  necessity  of 
doubt  in  religion. 


Prof.    Burns    Writes 
Roosevelt    Biography 

Wednesday.  May  2  -  "Roose- 
velt: The  Lion  and  the  Pox",  a 
new  objective  biography  of  the 
late  President  Franklin  D.  Roose- 
velt by  Professor  James  Burns  of 
the  Williams  Political  Science  De- 
partment, will  appear  on  the  book- 
shelves on  August  22.  The  title 
comes  from  the  advice  Machiavel- 
11  gave  heads  of  state  in  "The 
Prince".  Mr.  Burns  says  that 
Roosevelt  fits  into  the  Machia- 
vellian Ideal  of  acting  with  the 
courage  of  a  lion  and  the  shrewd- 
ness of  a  fox. 

Mr.  Burns  served  under  Roose- 
velt and  has  conducted  extensive 
research  in  preparation  for  writ- 
ing the  book.  Although  Mr.  Roose- 
velt cannot  be  said  to  fit  .squarely 
into  any  tradition.  Mr.  Burns 
thinks  that  "he  was  more  a  con- 
servative than  a  liberal  in  the 
British  tradition".  In  the  book. 
Ml.  Bums  discusses  at  great 
length  the  different  elements  of 
Conservatism  and  explains  to  what 
extent  Mr.  Roosevelt  fulfills  them.

bi/  Pete  Fkmmin^ 

A  iji'i'at  C()iiti<)\eisy  ha.s  been  generated  by  tbe  recent  aii- 
Hoiinceineiit  tliat  W'eslevaii  would  o])eii  its  doors  to  the  fairer  sex. 
Many  fear  that  the  iiiaiilv  trachtioiis  of  the  Wesnieii  are  threaten- 
ed by  the  invasion  of  "Lonj^  Lane",  the  ]5rop()sed  site  for  the  wo- 
men's school.  The  "Committee  of  One  Hundred"  is  currently  cir- 
culating an  unsigned  letter  censuring  the  administration  for  its 
proposed  ))lan. 

In  a  recent  poll  taken  bv  the  WESLEYAN  ARGUS,  it  was 
ascertained  that  the  students  were  in  favor  of  co-education,  3-1. 
Although  a  substantial  majority  favored  complete  co-education, 
the  majority  respondinsr  preferred  that  the  schools  be  kept  sep- 
arate, with  soine  combined  activities.  The  divergence  was  sharjiest 
on  the  effects  to  acadeinic  and  admissions  standards.  Of  those 
who  oj^pose  co-education,  three  foiuths  feel  that  Weslevan  schol- 
arship would  be  impaired  while  only  a  very  few  belie\e  that  it 
would  be  helped.  Projionents  of  the  jilan.  on  the  other  hand,  are 
optimistic  as  to  the  affect  of  the  piesence  of  women. 

There  are  many  of  us  who  do  not  like  to  see  the  "fine  old 
traditions"  of  the  Little  Three  disturbed.  Howe\er,  in  the  over 
all  sense,  VVesleyan  is  contributing  to  liberal  arts  education.  The 
administration  is  not  solely  engaged  in  the  preservation  of  Wes- 
leyan  in  its  original  condition;  their  policy  is  obviously  one  of 
flexibility  designed  to  meet  the  greatest  need.  If  Wcsleyan  feels 
that  they  can  best  meet  the  jjresent  shortage  of  educational  facili- 
ties by  going  co-ed,  then  they  must  be  congratulated  for  their  move.

For  the  first  six  years  after  its  start,  the  school  was  held  in 
private  homes  on  North  and  Southworth  Streets,  Lyiide  Lane  and, 
for  a  brief  boarding  school  pi-riod,  in  the  Robert  tMuett  llou.se  on 
Ide  Road,  .'\fter  Pine  (Gobble  li.id  been  incorporated  as  a  non-prolit 
organization  in  1941,  Mr.  Flinton  left  to  join  tbe  arinv  and  Sainnel 
.Vllen,  Professor  Emeritus  of  English  at  Williams,  conducted  the 
school  through  two  of  the  difficult  war  years.  Then  Mrs.  Julian 
S])ragiie,  who  has  been  a  most  acti\e  member  of  the  Hoard  ol 
Trustees  for  the  past  10  years,  directed  the  school  until  19.50.  when 
Dwight  H.  Little,  class  of  1929  at  Williams,  and  present  Director, 
took  o\er.  In  194.3,  Mrs.  Spragiie  was  able  to  obtain  the  Sahiii 
Estate  for  a  pennaiient  location. 

School  Cuiriciiluiii 

The  regular  grade  school  courses  of  study  are  so  advanced 
as  to  enable  a  student  who  compiles  a  good  over-all  record  to 
attend  any  j^reparatory  school,  large  or  small.  Pine  C^obble  has 
representatives  at  .Vndover,  Deerfield,  llotchkiss,  St.  Paul's,  Eniina 
Willard,  Northfield,  Rosemary  Hall  and  Miss  1  hill's  School.  Wil- 
liams Faculty  wives  have  always  been  acti\e  in  teaching  at  the 
Williamstown  school.  Mrs.  Edward  Bullock  has  been  riiiuiing  the 
Nur.sery  for  some  time,  while  Mrs.  Frederick  (^jpeland  teaches 
F'ourth  Grade.  Mrs.  David  Bryant,  wife  of  the  former  ,\MT  Direc- 
tor, teaches  science  and  helps  out  in  dramatics,  and  Mrs.  .'\l  Shaw 
has  been  a  Nur.sery  A.ssistaiit  for  a  considerable  period  of  time. 
Also  Mrs.  Wiiiiain  Cole  was  .lecreiary  lo  .Mr.  Little  last  year  as 
is  Mrs.  [ames  Burns  at  present. 

Pine  Cobble  has  been  stressing  its  varied  extracurricular 
program  more  and  more  in  recent  years.  .Xrt,  Music.  Dramatics 
and  a  wide  athletic  program  form  the  core  of  this  important  (iliase 
of  the  school's  make-up.  .Approximately  .35  students  take  some 
sort  of  music  lessons  ranging  from  Walt  Lehman  on  freneli  horn, 
flute,  trumpet  and  recorder,  to  Nathan  Rudniek  on  piano.  .Also 
Thomas  King  gives  \iolin  lessons  and  George  Fiiiekel.  Professor 
of  Music  at  Henningt(m  College,  teaches  the  cello.  Lelunan  also 
conducts  an  orchestra  and  chorus  made  up  of  students  Iroin  the 
third  grade  up  as  well  as  a  Glee  Club  of  the  older  members  of  the 
school.  An  extensive  Art  (jrogram.  under  the  direction  of  Mrs. 
William  'Wyiine,  includes  classes  given  in  every  grade.  Instruction 
is  also  given  in  Dramatics,  conducted  by  Mrs.  Bryant.  Recently 
two  French  jilays  were  successfully  jiresented  by  the  7th  and  8th

Now  here  you  arc  at  the  Hbiary.  That  wasn't  so  bad,  was 
it?  Of  cour.se  not!  Go  inside.  What  do  yon  see?  A  sign  that 
says  "No  Smoking."  Go  outside.  Light  a  Philip  Morris. 
Smoke.  Go  back  inside. 

Because  now  yon  are  ready.  Now  your  trembling 
re.solution  is  rigid.  Now  yonr  pulsing  psyche  is  serene.  You 
have  been  gentled  by  gentle  Philip  Morris.  You  have  been 
traniiuilized  by  a  smoke  that  dotes  and  pampers  anil  caresses, 
that  lifts  the  fallen,  repairs  the  shattered,  straightens  the 
bent,  unravels  the  knotted,  rights  the  askew,  and  fastens  the 
unbuttoned. 

In  the  center  of  the  library  you  .see  the  main  circulation 
de.sk.  Look  in  the  card  catalogue  for  the  number  of  the  book 
you  want,  write  the  number  on  a  slip,  and  hand  it  to  the 
eflicient  and  obliging  young  lady  at  the  desk.  The  cfhcient 
and  obliging  young  lady  then  gives  the  slip  to  an  ell'icient 
and  obliging  page  boy  who  trots  briskly  hack  into  the  stacks, 
curls  up  on  a  limp  leather  encyclopedia,  and  sleeps  for  an 
hour  or  two.  Then,  puffy  but  refreshed,  he  returns  your  slip 
to  the  etlicient  and  obliging  young  lady  at  the  desk,  who  tells 
you  one  of  three  things:  (ai  "Your  book  is  out."  (b)  "Your 
book  is  at  the  bindery."   (ci  "Your  book  is  on  reserve." 

Having  learned  that  the  circulation  desk  hasn't  the 
least  intention  of  ever  parting  with  a  book,  let  us  now  go 
into  the  periodical  room.  Here  we  spend  hours  sifting  through 
an  imposing  array  of  magazines-magazines  from  all  the  far 
cmners  of  the  earth,  magazines  of  every  nature  and  descrip- 
tion-but  though  we  search  diligently  and  well,  we  cannot 
find  Mad  or  CoHfldrntial. 

Next  let  us  venture  into  the  reference  room.  Here  in  this 
hushed,  vaulted  chamber,  we  find  the  true  scholars  of  the 
university —  earnest,  dedicated  young  men  and  women  w^ho 
care  for  only  one  thing  in  the  world :  the  pursuit  of  knowledge. 
Let  us  eavesdrop  for  a  moment  on  this  erudite  couple 
poring  over  heavy  tomes  at  the  corner  table.  Hu.sh!  She 
speaks : 

Shk:  Whatcha  readin',  hey? 

He:  "The  Origin  of  Species."  You  ever  read  it? 

She:  No,  but  I  seen  the  movie. 

He:  Oh. 

She:  You  like  readin'? 

He:  Naah. 

She:  What  do  you  like? 

He:  Hockey,  licorice,  girls,  stutt  like  that. 

She:  Me  too,  hey. 

He:  You  pinned  or  anything? 

She:  Well,  .sort  of.  I'm  wearin'  a  fellow's  motorcycle 
emblem But  it's  only  platonic. 

He:  Wanna  go  out  for  a  smoke? 

She:  Philip  Morris? 

He:  Of  corris! 
And  as  our  learned  friends  take  their  leave,  let  ua  too  wend 
our  way  homeward-a  trifle  weary,  perhaps,  but  enlightened 
and  renewed  and  better  citizens  for  having  spent  these  happy 
hours  in  the  library.   Aloha,  library,  aloha!  ..„.„  .sh,„n,.„,  i966

why,  take  a  look  at  your  shaggy  hair,"  This  made  Sheedy

now  he's  the  picture  of  confidence.  His  hair  is  handsome

neat  with  Wildroot  Cream-Oil.  In  bottles  or  handy

Colemna,  Boyd  Star 
In  Opening  Victory 

By  Kearny  HIbbard 

Monday,  April  30  -  The  Wil- 
liams Golf  Team  opened  its  sea- 
son successfully  with  an  impres- 
sive 4-3  victory  over  Yale.  This  is 
the  first  Eph  victory  over  a  Yale 
golf  team  in  several  years. 

Coach  Baxter  was  veiy  pleased 
with  his  team's  victory  over  the 
IJowerful  New  Haven  squad,  which 
had  previously  been  undefeated. 
Thus  far  they  have  registered  vic- 
tories over  Amherst,  Wesleyan  and 
Holy  Cross.  Although  Williams 
was  the  underdog,  they  can  now 
be  considered  one  of  the  best 
teams  in  New  England. 

Coleman  Wins  7  &  6 

Shooting  par  golf  over  the  wet, 
windy  Taconlc  Course,  Captain 
Ned  Vale,  Yale's  number  one  man, 
defeated  Williams  Co-Captain 
Randy  Carey,  3  and  1,  as  he  won 
the  ICth  and  17th  holes.  Wil- 
liams' second  man,  Morgan  Cole- 
man, easily  defeated  Pete  Nissel- 
son,  7  and  6,  while  shooting  a 
one  under  par  34  on  the  front  side. 
Consistent  drives  and  accurate 
irons  characterized  the  victor's 
play.  This  was  the  first  defeat 
for  Nisselson  who  was  this  year's 
Bermuda  Open  champion.  NLssel- 
son  was  also  the  Metropolitan 
Junior  Champion  and  WesU-hester 
County  Junior  Champ. 

Co-Captain  Jack  Chapman  lost 
to  Yales  Dave  Clovis,  6  and  6, 
as  his  putts  lefused  to  drop.  Get-

feated by  a  strong  North  Carolina

maich  played  on  the  Williams 
courts.  The  Eph  fiist  doubles 
leam  of  Wally  Jensen  and  Dave 
i^uunai'd  salvaged  the  only  victory 
oi  aie  meet,  as  Coach  Chaffee's 
squad  suifered  their  first  loss  this 
season.  Both  the  varsity  and 
fresnman  baseball  teams  had 
scheduled  games  postponed  today 
due  to  wet  grounds. 

In  the  match  this  afternoon  the 
Eph  tennis  team  was  unable  to 
successfully  cope  with  the  experi- 
ence and  depth  of  the  visitors, 
who  had  defeated  the  Purple  by 
an  identical  score  in  a  match 
played  earlier  this  spring  at  Cha- 
pel Hill,  N.C.  during  Williams' 
southern  trip.  Co-captain  Wally 
Jensen  played  a  fine  match  at 
iirst  singles  for  the  Ephs,  but  lost 
to  Joe  Thomas  of  N.C,  8-6,  6-3. 
Karl  Hlrshman  in  second  singles 
was  defeated  by  Ed  Bradford,  6-2, 
9-7,  and  Dave  Leonard  at  third 
singles  fell  to  Bob  Foster,  6-3,  6-3.

singles  for  the  Ephmen  and  went 
thiee  sets  before  bowing  to  Green, 
4-6,  6-2,  6-2,  while  Lou  Bortnick

N.C,  6-2,  6-4.  Bob  Kingsbury  clos-

By    Dick    Davis 

Wednesday,  May  2  -  Last  Sat- 
urday the  Eph  harriers  traveled 
to  Boston  to  participate  in  a  tri- 
angular meet  with  Tufts  and  MIT, 
two  of  the  best  teams  in  the  Bos- 
ton area.  The  Purple  were  to  have 
run  in  the  Harvard  Relays,  but  a 
mix-up  in  the  Harvard  schedule 
forced  a  cancellation. 

■Williams,  though  finishing 
third,  made  a  very  good  ,showing. 
Tufts  captured  the  meet  with  60 
points,  but  the  Engineers  and  the 
Purple  were  close  behind  with  53 
and  52  points.  Charley  Schweig- 
hauser  was  outstanding  for  the 
Ephs,  winning  the  high  jump,  the 
120  high  hurdles,  and  placing 
third  in  the  broad  jump.  Captain 
Andy  Smith,  recovering  from  a 
leg  injury,  took  first  in  the  220 
and  was  a  close  second  in  the  100. 
"Hots"  Ports  won  the  two  mile 
and  had  a  fourth  in   the  mile. 

Wesleyan  Tomorrow 

The  only  other  Williams  win- 
ner was  Dave  Plater  in  the  dis- 
cus. Plater  tossed  the  platter  130 
feet.  The  team  was  not  at  full 
strength,  and  this  probably  cost 
them   second  place. 

TomoiTow  afternoon  the  Plan- 
skymen will  take  on  Wesleyan  at 
Mlddletown.  Captain  Andy  Smith 
says  chances  of  beating  the  Little 
Three  Champs  are  "pretty  good" 
if  certain  key  men  come  through. 
Captain  Bill  Rush,  a  high  hurdler 
and  broad  jumper,  constitutes  the 
chief   Cardinal  threat, 

Frosh  Victorious 

While  the  varsity  was  busy  at 
Boston,  the  freshmen  took  on 
Deerfleld  on  the  latter's  cinders. 
The  frosh  carved  out  a  decisive 
and  well-balanced  victory,  garner- 
ing a  total  of  66  points  to  51  for 
the   prep-school    opponent. 

Chip  Ide  was  the  big  man  for 
Williams,  winning  the  broad  jump 
and  both  the  100  and  220,  He  also 
got  a  second  in  the  440,  The  Eph- 
men, behind  Bob  Llttell  and  Stu 
Wallace,  swept  both  the  discus 
and  shot,  and  Dick  Willhlte  won 
the  high  jump.  Tony  Harwood 
copped  the  440  and  George  Sud- 
duth  won  the  half-mile  in  a  time 
of  2:02.3.  Tills  afternoon  the 
frosh  face  Mr.  Hermon  on  Wes- 
ton Field.

of  tlie  new  season  as  against  one

Ephs  climbed  on  AIC's  tricky 
southpaw  Pete  Fisher  for  the  first 
of  two  three-run  outbursts  in  the 
second.  Dick  MaiT  beat  out  a 
grounder  to  start  it  off  and  Bob 
Iverson  reached  first  on  an  error 
by  Bill  Manzi  at  third.  Earlier  in 
the  top  half  of  the  frame,  Iver- 
son had  made  the  best  play  of  the 
day  as  his  diving  catch  of  Joe 
Trincerl's  long  drive  to  left  with 
his  back  to  the  plate  ended  the  in- 
ning with  two  men  on.  With  Marr 
on  third  as  a  result  of  the  error, 
Clarke  Sperry  got  him  across  with 
a  perfect  squeeze  bunt  which  he 
beat  out  for  a  hit.  An  infield  out 
by  Yankus  then  drove  in  Iverson 
from  third  and  Rick  Power's  line 
single  to  left  scored  Sperry  with 
the  third  run. 

Ephs  Add   Three  More 

AIC  scored  their  only  run  in 
the  third  when  Dick  Dukesliire's 
single  to  right  brought  in  Fisher 
from  third  after  a  Sheehan  to 
Power  to  Marr  double  play  had  al- 
most got  Yankus  out  of  the  inning. 
The  home  team  opened  up  again 
in  the  fourth.  Iverson  singled  and 
stole  second.  Sheehan  filed  out  but 
Sperry  walked  and  was  forced  at 
second  when  Yankus  hit  back  to 
the  pitcher.  Tlien  Power  smashed 
a  long  double  to  right-center  to 
drive  in  Iverson  and  Yankus.  Dick 
Ennis  ended  the  scoring  with  a 
base  liit  to  center  which  scored 
Power  with  the  sixth  run  of  the 
game  for  the  Ephs. 

Yankus  breezed  through  the 
last  six  innings  with  little  trouble 
as  he  held  the  Aces  scoreless,  giv- 
ing up  no  more  than  one  hit  in 
any  frame.  Another  fine  catch  by 
Iverson  and  a  Fearon  to  Marr  twin 
killing  prevented  a  score  in  the 
fourth.  In  the  ninth,  after  a  one- 
out  triple  by  Gerrie  Gutherie, 
Yankus  retired  the  side  on  a  fly 
to  center  and  a  foul  to  third,  Wil- 
liams tallied  its  seventh  run  in  the 
sixth  off  relief  pitcher  Phil  Ya- 
covene.  Power  accounted  for  this 
as  his  hard  single  to  left  brought

Steuben  Glass  Co.  Designs  Bowl 
For  Sesquicentennial  Celebration 


Sunday,  April  29  —  Steuben 
Glass,  the  elite  subsldlai'y  of  Cor- 
ning Glass  Works  which  has  re- 
cently produced  costly  crockery  in 
honor  ol  Pope  Pius  XII  and  Queen 
Elizabeth,  has  designed  a  bowl  for 
the  150th  anniversary  of  the  sum- 
mer shower  during  which  five 
Williams  undergraduates  took  re- 
fuge under  a  haystack  and  found- 
ed the  American  missionary  ser- 
vice. 

To  celebrate  the  sesquicenten- 
nial of  this  important  moment  in 
the  history  of  American  Protes- 
tantism, the  Williamstown  Com- 
munity Planning  Committee  is 
preparing  a  program  to  attract 
thousands  of  visitors  here  this 
summer.  Also  in  connection  with 
tire  anniversary,  the  WCC  has 
been  conducting  a  fund-raising 
campaign  for  the  Haystack  Memo- 
rial Fellowship  which  will  bring  a 
foreign  student  to  Williams  Col- 
lege. 

The  Compass 

The  Steuben  Bowl  was  designed 
by  Sidney  Waugh  through  the  ef-

the  Haystack  Meeting  in  1806  (to 
be  made   by   Steuben  Glass). 


forts  of  William  Hanford  Curtiss 
'06  of  Corning  Glass,  who  was  the 
student  leader  of  the  Haystack's 
centennial  celebration  here  in 
1906. 

The  design  of  the  bowl,  descri- 
bed by  Frederick  Fox  of  the  Wil- 
liamstown Congregational  Church 
as  having  "much  more  power  than 
the  usual  Haystack  scenes,"  fea- 
tures   a  compass,  radiating    from 


I  the  central  group  to  symbolize 
"the  Gospel's  outflow  to  all  the 
tarth."  The  sphere  of  a  New  Eng- 
land church  points  north.

-ci  in  the  basement  of  the  Stet- 
50U  Library  last  week  by  college 
.Ibrarian  Wyllis   Wright,  '25. 

IWills'  Travels 

Mills  found  this  compass  — 
which  still  works  —  useful  in  his 
life  of  Christian  dedication.  He 
took  two  rugged  trips  by  horseback 
from  his  home  in  Connecticut  to 
the  Mississippi  to  build  churches 
on  the  frontier  and  distribute  free 
B'bles.  In  1812  he  won  General 
Andrew  Jackson  to  his  cause  in 
Nashville,  Tenn. 

Mills  took  the  compass  with 
him  on  his  first  trip  to  Africa  in 
1818,  but  he  did  not  bring  it  home. 
He  died  at  sea,  and  the  compass 
was  returned  with  his  Bible. 


British  Political  Expert  Explains  Current  Problems 
In  Foreign  Policy  to  International  Relations  Class 


by  Charles  II.  Siinpklnson 

Friday,  April  27  -  David  Butler, 
an  Oxford  Don  who  is  on  a  one- 
year  assignment  as  a  personal  as- 
sistant to  the  British  Ambassador, 
is  spending  a  few  days  here  in  or- 
der to  participate  in  the  Political 
Science  classes.  He  is  the  leading 
British  authority  on  elections  in 
both  England  and  this  country. 

Speaking  before  the  Interna- 
tional Relations  class  In  press 
conference  style,  he  answered 
clearly  and  frankly  toe  direct 
questions  that  were  fired  at  him. 
So  direct  and  informed  were  his 
answers  that  the  members  of  the 
class  Immediately  sensed  that  they 
were  being  told  the  real  considera- 
tions that  must  be  dealt  with 
when  one  is  involved  in  helping  to 
formulate  a  country's  foreign  poli- 
cy. 

British  Foreign  Policy 

Foreign  policy,  he  began,  Is  not 
determined  as  a  matter  of  con- 
scious choice,  but  mainly  by  the 
various  existing  conditions.  Eng- 
land's relations  with  Western  Eu- 
rope are  seen  in  the  light  of  the 
fact  that  "a  peaceful  England  de- 


Oz  Wyckoff's  Bureau  Proves  Gold  Mine 
To  Eph  Seniors,  Grey  Flannel  Recruiters 

hif  Saudi/  Miiridi/ 
Wcdneschiv.  May  2  -  Witli  many  a  compliment  for  the  men- 
tal attributes  of  the  liherallv-educated  Williams  aspirants  to  the 
$4()()-a-inouth  strata  of  the  world  of  business,  73  wide-awake,  many 
varied  business  oriraui/ations  took  a  total  of  619  interviews  witli 
99  uiemhers  of  the  class  of  '56  during  the  ]5ast  recniitinf;  season. 

.'Vccording  to  William  O.  Wyckoff,  Placement  Director,  this 
has  been  the  recriiitinj;  season  to  end  all  recniitini;  seasons,  des- 
pite a  dearth  of  malemute-iiovvered  sledges  needed  to  get  strand- 
ed V-S-decei\ed  recruiters  o\'er  the  Taconic  Trail  in  some  of  the 
fiercer  weather.  The  elements  and  other  factors  combined  to  bring 
the  total  of  103  business  recruiters  signed  u]),  an  increase  of  63..5 
per  cent  over  195.5's  ali-time  high,  down  to  the  73  who  were  able 
to  make  it  —  still  a  respectable  15.9  per  cent  upswing  over  last 
season. 

G.  M.  Races  Past  Ford 
The  highest  re|oiesentation  from  any  field  was  commercial 
banking's  force  of  sixteen  recruiters.  Fifteen  representatives  were 
lookiiig  for  salesmen  of  e\  crything  fiom  autos  to  corsets  to  marine 
hardware.  Twelve  maiuifactmiMg  companies  sent  recruiters,  with 
General  Motors  (who  along  with  Chrvsler  broke  up  Ford's  Wil- 
liams monopoly  for  the  first  time)  taking  this  year's  single-com- 
pany high  of  31  interviews. 

In  a  scientific  vein,  there  were  eight  recruiters  looking  for 
research  scientists.  The  insurance  lines  added  to  the  list  of  more 
massi\e  delegations,  sending  seven  representatives.  Smaller  rep- 
resentations from  a  \ariety  of  fields  completed  the  total. 

Trips  For  Prospects 
Following  the  established  jiractice  in  cases  of  mutual  interest, 
many  com|)anies  invited  eaiididates  to  visit  their  plants  or  offices 
to  look  around  and  meet  some  of  the  peojile,  sujierior  and  subor- 
dinate, whom  they  would  be  working  with.  Usiuilly  within  a  week 
of  his  visit,  each  man  was  notified  if  he  had  been  offered  a  job 
or  not.  The  normal  startiiig  salaries  for  these  iDositlons,  which  is 
iiow  higher  than  in  any  prc\ious  year,  raiiges  froin  ft>375  to  .$425 
a  month. 

This  year,  every  one  of  the  73  organizations  has  made  at  least 
one  job  offer  with  some  offering  positions  to  as  maiiy  as  nine 
Williams  men.  All  this  was  concrete  evidence  of  the  sincerity  of 
the  praise  lavished  oii  the  Williains  candidates  which  incliided 
this  testimonial  by  the  grey-flanneled  representative  of  a  national 
advertising  firm: 

"I  have  been  recruiting  on  college  campuses  for  five  years 
and  with  one  exce]5tion  (and  he  named  a  prominent  school  of 
business  administration  in  the  East)  this  is  beyond  dcnibt  the 
finest  group  of  boys  I  have  e\er  eiicountered."

Dwight  Little,  wife  of  the  Direc- 
tor, who  also  teaches  French  and 
Latin  to  the  7th  and  8th  grades 
and  Mathematics  to  the  4th. 

Williams  Participation 

Both  Williams  graduates  and 
undergraduates  have  taken  part 
in  different  phases  of  the  Pine 
Cobble  curriculum.  This  year.  Lou 
Friedman  '56,  who  helped  coach 
sports  last  year,  teaches  reading 
and  spelling  to  the  5th  grade  five 
days  a  week  at  9  o'clock.  Also 
Phil  Fradkin  has  coached  soccer 
and  skiing  this  year  as  has  Wil- 
liams Captain  Jock  Duncan  in 
wrestling.  Other  Williams  gradu- 
ates who  coached  athletics  while 
they  were  in  college  are  Gerry 
Brace.  Pete  Pelham.  Dory  Friend 
and  Gil  Bird.  Tom  Beal  and  Ben 
Taylor  came  to  Pine  Cu'uble  as  full 
time  teachers  after  they  graduated 
from  the  college  itself.  This  pro- 
gram of  participation  by  Williams 
students  is  helpful  both  to  them 
and  to  those  they  teach.  It  not 
only  gives  them  real  teaching  ex- 
perience but  also  helps  to  decide 
whether  they  might  desire  a  ca- 
reer in  education  after  graduation. 
Having  taught  at  Pine  Cobble,  one 
can  receive  credit  for  graduate 
work  in  teaching.  Friedman  has 
decided  to  go  on  to  a  teaching  ca- 
reer after  graduation  and  his  ex- 
perience at  Pine  Cobble  will  help 
him  greatly  in  furthering  it.

pends  on  a  peaceful  Europe."  For 
this  reason  England  must  be  in 
favor  of  a  Federated  Europe,  al- 
though not  until  some  more  prac- 
ticable method  is  worked  out.  Al- 
so when  lend-lease  stopped  in  1945 
Britain  had  to  face  the  fact  that 
the  U.  S.  was  now  the  leader  of 
the  Westei-n  world.  Although  it 
was  a  "bitter  pill".  England  has 
accepted  this,  Mr.  Butler  stated, 
and  he  thinks  a  very  healthy  re- 
lationship has  been  established. 

Denying  that  Britain  was  in- 
dulging in  "old-line  colonial  di- 
plomacy" In  Cyprus,  he  explained 
that  the  policy  was  no  longer  co- 
lonial, for  it  involved  Turkey  and 
Greece.  If  Britain  pulled  out  now. 
Butler  said  he  believed  the  Cy- 
priots  would  fall  under  the  spiri- 
tual intimidation  of  the  Greek 
Orthodox  church  which  would  e- 
ventually  bring  them  under  Greek 
control.  If  this  happens  Turkey 
will  drop  out  of  NATO  and  declare 
war  on  Greece.  A  further  reason 
that  a  worse  situation  would  be 
created  by  England's  withdrawal  is 
that  they  would  lose  control  of 
their  only  base  in  the  Middle  East. 

Houseparties  .  .  . 

"Bawdy  Songs  and  Backroom  Bal- 
lads." Vol.  II,  we  find  in  Brand's 
strains  "Tidbits  to  tickle  each  of 
the  senses  . . .  touches  of  passion, 
pathos.  Platonism  and  pruriency". 

"If  there  be  any  among  you  who 
are  chaste,  cast  aside  caution.  If 
there  be  any  among  you  who  blush 
easily,  cast  aside  your  modesty.  If 
there  be  any  among  you  who 
frown  upon  fallen  angels,  risen 
devils,  sin.  .sex.  and  shamele.ssne.ss. 
take  warning  and  begone.  Other- 
wise be  prepared  to  join  our  mer- 
ry circle  and  rejoice  in  these 
roundelays  of  rakery."  With  Brand 
executing  .sorties  into  the  body  of 
fine  old  folk  songs  "all  of  which 
are  presented  in  unexpurgatcd 
versions"  this  might  be  the  sur- 
prise and  toast  of  the  All-College 
Dance. 

Kaminsky  and  his  Dixielanders 
have  beeii  on  the  scene  many  years 
and  have  appeared  in  New  York's 
Childs.  Paramount.  Birdland  and 
the  Metropole. 


It  has  been  the  presence  of  Bii- 
tlsh  forces  on  Cyprus  that  hus 
kept  "the  lid  on  Ihhigs"  in  that 
"tinder  box"  urea. 

Middle  East 

As  to  the  Middle  East  —  Bn. 
tain  does  not  want  a  free  count  ry 
like  Israel  to  be  run  over.  Hov. 
ever,  it  would  be  Industrial  sui- 
cide if  they  lost  the  means  of  dij- 
taining  oil  from  the  Arabs.  Tl.ns 
like  the  U.  S.  they  seek  to  mii n- 
tain  the  status  quo  as  a  mean>  if 
"keeping  the  peace." 

inic  British  justify   their  br     t 
in   the   Russian   pi'omise   to  11:  at 
their  arms  shipments  to  the  M   1- 
dlc    East    on   the    basis   that   >  le 
Russians  have  previously  restru.  ,- 
ed  from  completely  upsetting  ' 
power  balance  by  this  means 
justifying    the    rea.soning    belv 
inviting  their  leaders  to  visit  Ei 
land.  Butler  said  that  if  Hitler  li 
ever     visited   England    and     1 
known  the  potential  of  his  enei 
he  would  have  been   less  dani^ 
ous.  In  addition  the  British  hi 
that  B.  and  K.  will  reveal  enoi. 
about  themselves  so  that  Englii 
too  can  "know  the  enemy." 


Ski  Meet 


At  the  same  time,  the  WOC  an- 
nounced that  Williams'  .ski  cai ri- 
val, usually  held  in  conjuncli"ii 
with  Winter  Houseparty,  has  bi-.u 
moved  back  two  weeks  next  yrav 
because  of  a  conflict  with  the

a  faculty  committee  are  now  con- 
sidering moving  the  hoasepany 
back  to  the  same  date  as  the  Wil- 
liams ski  meet. 

Since  Dartmouth  has  chanpi'd 
its  exam  schedule  for  1956-;)7. 
their  carnival  has  had  to  be  movid 
back  one  week,  coming  in  conflict 
with  the  Eph  liouseparty.  Becair-o

ni:in.  Some  astoundinx  ''acts  have 
bi  en  unearthed  about  this  mythi- 
cal mass  of  Purple  protoplasm. 

I'alco  his  drinking  habits  for  In- 
stance. Or.  a.s  one  weary  parent 
said.  "No,  you  take  them".  The 
typical  Williams  man  shows  a 
marked  preference  for  Budweiser 
Beer  I  the  author  would  like  to  do 
a  personal  dissertation  on  the  at- 
li-ibutes  of  this  mellow  substance 
but  editorial  policy  doesn't  permit 
ill.  But  premium  beer  lo.ses  Its 
wide  appeal  aloni;  toward  the  end 
of  the  month,  and  sales  of  30c  six- 
teen-ounce  Ballanllnes  rapidly  in- 
crease. 

A  recent  Thursday-before- 
Houseparties  poll  proves  that  a 
new  drink,  nebulously  known  as 
Kin  and  juice,  hits  won  the  hearts 
of  a  vast  ma.1ority  of  Ephmen. 
Milk  punch  is  a  close  i-unncr-up 
for  the  non-malt  honors,  followed 
by  scotch-and-soda  and  faintly 
aiiuted  bourbon.  Tlie  favorite 
cocktail  Ls  the  martini.  Anything 
on  the  ginny  side  of  a  12:1  gin- 
vermouth  ratio  qualifies  as  a 
.suitable  blend  for  our  typical  Eph. 

Oddly  enough,  a  Monday-after- 
Houseparties  poll  shows  entirely 
different  results.  Tlie  favorites,  in 
iirder,  are  (1)  the  water  at  the  in- 
firmary 12)  tomato  Juice  with  a 
dash  of  A-1  sauce  and  <3)  milk 
with  a  dash  of  raw  egg.  The  rea- 
.son  for  this  change  of  heart  re- 
mains obscure. 

Asceticism,    Continency? 

Wlien  Williams  men  were  a.sked 
for  their  favorite  pastime,  33  per 
cent  said  "women",  33  per  cent 
said  "girls".  33  per  cent  put  "fe- 
males", and  the  remaining  1  per 
':ent  showed  their  crudeness  by 
raying  "broads".  About  a  tenth  of 
all  Ephmen  are  pinned.  Of  these, 
10  per  cent  have  been  pinned 
twice,  10  per  cent  have  been  pin- 


ned thrice.  10  per  cent  four  times. 
and  15.7  per  cent  five  times.  Evi- 
dently someone  got  disillusioned 
after  the  fourth  round. 

Skidmore,  SmiUi,  Holyoke,  and 
Bennington  top  the  girls'  college 
popularity  ILst,  but  North  Adams 
State  Teachers  College  often  per- 
forms a  vital  function.  In  the  past 
month.  Ephmen  have  become  a- 
ware  that  Green  Mountain,  unlike 
many  girls'  schools.  Is  isolated 
from  male  civilization.  Since  then, 
increasing  droves  of  cars  with  lit- 
tle red  license  plates  have  been 
seen  in  upstate  Vermont. 

Barriers  to   Scholasticism 

Of  course  the  typical  Williams 
man  has  come  here  primarily  for 
a  better  knowledge  of  humanity, 
the  sciences,  and  the  arts,  but 
bothersome  obstacles  are  con- 
stantly Impeding  his  earnest  de- 
sire for  intellectual  advancement. 
These  obstacles  show  themselves 
when  registration  time  rolls  a- 
round.  100  per  cent  of  the  upper-

CC  -  SC  Ratifies  Purple  Key  Constitution; 
Committee  to  Choose  Charter  Members 


Saturday,  May  .5  -  Meeting  in  joint  session  Monday  night, 
the  coinbiiu-d  .SC-CC  fdrmallv  ajiiiroved  the  new  constitution  ol 
the  Purple  Key  Society,  as  submitted  by  Junior  Ted  MeKee.  Ac- 
cording to  Mekee,  all  s<>|ilioinores  lia\e  been  briefed  on  the  fniie- 
tions  of  the  new  Kev,  and  over  130  men  ha\e  expressed  the  (  e- 
sire  to  join  the  group.  The  12-inan  committee  wliieli  drew  up  the 
constihition  will  select  a  dozen  charter  members  and  three  alter- 
nates with  which  to  begin  the  club's  activities  next  fall. 

These  candidates  will  be  chosen  from  the  C;lass  of  5S  on 
the  basis  of  enthusiasm  and  interest  in  service  to  the  school,  plus 
their  willingness  and  a\  ailahilitv  to  work  on  behalf  of  the  organi- 
zation. The  names  will  be  announced  on  Gargoyle  Tap  Day.  The 
committee  members  will  continue  to  serve  next  year  in  an  advis- 
ory capacity. 

Scrceniitfi  DiffiniU 

In  future  years,  the  club  ineinbership  will  be  able  to  accept 
applications  in  the  fall,  and  choose  their  successors  more  on  the 
basis  of  actual  work  done  to  aid  the  Puri)Ie  Key  during  the  sopho- 
more year.  However,  this  first  selection  is  extremely  difficult  be- 
cause the  applicants  have  been  unable  to  demonstrate  their  inter- 
est and  ability,  due  to  the  current  non-existence  of  aiiv  organiza- 
tion comiwrable  to  the  Purple  Key.  It  is  the  desire  of  the  comniit- 
tee  to  choose  only  those  who  will  be  most  capable  to  do  tlie  pli 
according  to  the  statements  made  on  their  aiiplications.  lliese 
applications  will  be  distributed  within  the  next  week,  so  that  the 
charter  members  can  be  selected  in  time  for  announcement  thi.s 
month. 

The  main  purpose  of  the  new  Key  will  be  to  greet  and  pro- 
vide accommodations  and  ent.Ttainment  for  all  visitmg  athletic 
teain.s.  Beyond  this  the  groiii)  will  ojierate  in  conjunctioii  wifli 
tbe  Admissions  Office  to  guide  ,irospective  freshinen  on  campus 
tours.  Projects  which  the  society  plans  to  undertake  include  the 
printing  of  Williams  College  calendar  datebook.s,  and  the  produc- 
tion of  programs  for  all  home  athletic  contests. 


Republicans,  Democrats 
Hold   Political  Debate 


Saturday,  May  5  -  The  Young 
Republicans  and  the  Young  De- 
mocrats squared  off  in  a  debate 
last  Monday  night,  on  the  topic  of 
"Resolved:  That  this  house  de- 
plores Richard  M.  Nixon."  Repre- 
senting the  Republicans  who,  of 
course,  took  the  negative  were 
Rod  Ward  '56,  and  John  Struthers 
'59,  while  Arae  Carlson  '57,  and 
Henry  Bass  '57,  debated  for  the 
Democrats.  Jim  Scott  '58,  acted 
as  moderator. 

Bass  spoke  first  for  the  Demo- 
crats and  got  things  rolling  by 
stating  that  Mr.  Nixon  was  "not 
only  deplorable  to  the  country, 
but  to  the  Republican  Party".  As 
proof  Bass  cited  Nixon's  "unethi- 
cal campaign  policy",  and  referred 
many  times  to  Nixon's  "goi-y  re- 
cord". 

Fine    Record 

Ward  then  took  the  platform 
for  the  Republicans  and  stated 
that  the  only  reason  the  Demo- 
crats continually  condemn  Nixon 
is  that  he  is  the  "only  person 
whose  statements  the  Democrats 
can  twist  from  the  truth  and  find 
fault  with".  He  said  that  the  De- 
mocrats attack  Nixon  on  his  fast 
rise  to  power,  guilt-by-association 
witli  such  men  as  McCarthy,  em- 
barrassment of  Mr.  Ti'uman  In  the 
Hiss  case,  and  again  mainly  be- 
cause they  can't  attack  anyone 
else,  especially  our  President. 
Ward  also  cited  Nixon's  fine  re- 
cord in  office. 

The  second  speaker  for  the 
Democrats,  Carlson,  stated  that 
he  would  not  speak  as  a  politician, 
but  as  a  historian  with  "respect 
for  all ".  Carlson  quoted  many  of 
the  specific  speeches  In  Nixon's 
"gory  record  of  campaigning", 
"Both  parties  are  guilty  of  mud- 
sllnging  .  . .  but  Nixon  tried  to 
wipe  out  the  opposition."  "This 
iiTesponslbllity  of  speaking  makes 
him   deplorable",   stated   Carlson. 

Giving  the  final  speech  for  the 
Republicans,  Struthers  tore  at  the 
Democratic  "smear"  campaign  a- 
gftinst  Nixon  and  showed  that 
many  times  they  took  segments  of 
his  speeches  out  of  context.  Stru- 
thei-s  also  sho  ved  that  Nixon  was 
against  the  "..ij.  policies"  of  the 
Truman  government,  and  because 
of  his  feeling,  had  fought  for  more 
stringent  security  rules  In  govern- 
ment.

WMS  Adds  FM  Transmitting  Facilities; 
New  Converters  to  Allow  AM  Reception; 
Alterations  to  Increase  Listening  Radius 

Saturday,  May  5  -  WMS,  "The  Voice  of  Williams  College", 
has  applied  to  the  Trustees  of  Williams  for  ]5erinission  to  enlarge 
their  set-up  with  the  addition  of  F,  M,  transmitting  equipment. 

Charlie  Gibson  '57,  President  of  WMS,  announced  the  sta- 
tion's plans  today  to  the  HECORD.  The  new  F.  M.  broadcasting, 
if  it  is  appro\ed  by  the  trustees,  will  jiermit  WMS  to  reach  all 
of  VVilliamstown  and  North  Adams.  Unlike  the  A.  M.  set-u|3  which 
now  reaches  only  cam]5us  buildings,  the  new  set-up  would  be 
geared  for  reaching  the  entire  public  as  well  as  Williams  students. 
If  the  proposed  change  is  made,  the  station's  offerings  would  still 
reach  the  dorms  and  fraternity  houses  through  A.  M.  radios,  as 
comerters  would  be  installed  in  all  buildings  for  the  benefit  of 
those  who  do  not  have  F.  M.  receixers. 

.Sfliiie  Prograiii/iiiiig 
The  change  to  F.  M.  would  be  mainly  from  a  technical  stand- 
point Although  the  F.  M.  part  of  the  station  will  be  an  educa- 
tional, non-eoinmereial  station,  essentially  the  present  WMS  for- 
mat will  be  followed.  lIowe\er,  there  would  be  added  news  co\- 
erage  and  an  attem|it  at  iirngrams  intended  for  the  commtmity 
as  a  whole. 

The  WMS  Board  met  with  Faculty  Adviser  Roy  Lamson  and 
other  members  of  the  faculty  earlier  this  week.  At  the  meeting  it 
was  decided  to  submit  the  proposal  for  the  F.  M.  shift  to  a  ineeting 
of  the  Williams  Trustees  this  Friday.  Dean  Lamson  has  written 
the  proposal  to  the  Trustees.  Am  further  actions  toward  making 
the  change  are  pending  the  Trustees'  decision.  The  cost  of  the 
new  equipment  would  be  $5000,  Gibson  announced. 

Foil  Taken 
Before  passing  the  decision  i^roposing  the  change,  WMS  )iol 
led  facult\-  members  and  townspeople  and  discovered  that  88  jier 
cent  of  those  spoken  to  would  be  able  to  listen  to  the  ))ro|5osed 
F.  M.  transmission.  Students  would  have  their  choice  of  either 
listening  to  the  station  over  A.  M.  or  F.  M  Gibson  said  that  "the 
change  would  greatly  improve  recejjtion  and  the  station's  range 
while  helping  the  public  relations  of  the  college". 

WMS  has  the  largest  membership  of  any  organization  on 
campus  and  is  able  to  reach  more  people  than  any  other  organiza- 
tion. It  was  founded  in  1941.  Starting  out  in  studios  in  the  top  of 
Jesup  Hall,  the  organization  has  progressed  to  modern  and  spa- 
cious studios  in  Baxter  Hall.  The  proposed  F,  M.  set-up  would  be 
the  largest  advance  the  station  has  made  during  its  fifteen  years 
of  service.  WMS  broadcasts  throughout  the  school  year  and  has 
been  limited  in  the  past  primarily  by  poor  receiitioii  on  some 
parts  of  the  campus. 


With  the  organically  growing 
affair  reaching  epic  proportions 
on  Thursday,  the  breaking  point 
was  inevitable.  As  is  seen  now  in 
retrospect  the  "anesthetics"  of  the 
previous  four  days  deadening  the 
agony  held  out  perfectly.  Spring 
Houseparty  of  1956  is  here  at  last. 
For  three  solid  days  the  librai'y 
stacks  no  longer  will  be  inhabited 
by  grotesquely  bent  scholars.  For 
48  hours  and  more  connections 
with  the  outer  w'orld  will  be  sever- 
ed. From  today  until  Sunday  Eph- 
men and  their  dates  will  enjoy  lite 
us  the  Romans  would  have  endor- 
.sed  it. 

To  officially  ignite  the  explo- 
.sive  air  in  Billvllle,  the  class  of 
1959  takes  the  cue  with  the  much 
prepared  Fi'eshman  Revue  taking 
place  in  the  AMT  from  7:30  to 
8:45  between  dinner  and  All-Col- 
lege Dance.  Setting  a  new  prece- 
dent in  weekend  histoiy,  the  Re- 
vue under  the  direction  of  Pete 
Culman  includes  original  music, 
skits  and  vaudeville  acts  from  the 
storehouse  of  '59  talent.  According 
to  various  polls  taken  and  cri- 
tiques, elements  of  professionalism 
surround  this  venture. 

Musical  Fisticuffs 

Taking  over  at  the  All-College 
Dance  in  the  good  ship,  "SS  Bax- 
ter" the  varsity  virtuosoes  consist- 
ing of  Boyd  Raeburn,  Oscar  Brand 
and  Max  Kaminsky  will  pick,  pipe 
and  pound  until  1:00.  Raebm'n 
and  His  Cavaliers  featuring  enti- 
cing singer  Ginny  Powell  will 
grapple  for  evening's  honors  with 
Kaminsky's  Dlxielanders.  Obvious- 
ly the  two  schools  of  taste  buds 
decide  the  outcome.  The  Cavaliers 
and  Miss  Powell  perform  solely 
for  the  art  of  dancing  to  "sweet, 
lush  tones",  the  delight  of  the 
sedately  enveloped.  On  the  other 
hand  Kaminsky  and  squad  bleat

Frosh  Review  Offers 

Varied  Entertainment 


Fi-lday,  May  4  —  Something 
new  has  been  added  to  the  fresh- 
man year.  The  freshmen  presented 
the  first  revue  ever  staged  by  a 
freshman  class  at  Williams  Col- 
lege tonight  In  the  AMT. 

Directed  by  Pete  Culman.  '59 
and  written  and  performed  by 
freshmen,  the  show  was  planned 
to  offer  an  hour  of  light  enter- 
tainment for  Houseparty  "thrill- 
seekers ". 

Tickets  selling  for  $1.50  a  couple 
entitled  the  holders  to  see  original 
skits,  hear  original  music,  and  see 
other  assorted  ditties  from  a  tram- 
poline act  to  Bridey  Murphy  on  a 
couch.  The  action  commenced  at 
7:15,  just  preceeding  the  all-col- 
lege dance.

Day  of  Decision 


Tlie  total  oppoitimitv  plan  acKaiiced  by  Garjrovlo  lias  been 
lias.sed  by  three  fraternities.  The  RECORD  ap]ilaiKls  their  action 
and  strouij;lv  hopes  tiiat  the  rest  of  the  Williams  fraternities  will 
demonstrate  their  responsibility  with  e(|nal  vij^or.  There  is  no 
doubt  that  this  is  the  time  for  deeision.  Never  before  ha\e  the  is- 
sues imolved  been  so  clear.  Thi'  fact  that  only  a  handful  of  so))h- 
omores  were  excluded  last  year  is  a  j;5reat  accomijlishment  but  it 
makes  final  solution  to  the  iiroblcm  e\'en  more  iuesca|iable. 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  point  out  that  now  as  in  the  jjast,  a 
fraternity  is  part  of  a  college.  It  can  justify  its  existence  only  to 
the  extent  that  it  jiromotcs  ideals  in  harmony  with  the  ideals  of  the 
intellectual  community  of  which  it  is  a  i^art.  If  a  fraternity  rejects 
an  indi\ idnal  on  \alues  that  are  aueithetical  to  what  should  be  the 
values  of  an  intellectual  community,  the  frateruitv  is  failinjr  in 
its  mission.  Among  these  \alues  are  democracy,  justice  and  intel- 
lectual excellence.  A  fratcniity  should,  therefore,  .ecognize  its 
responsibility  not  to  deem  anyone  admitted  to  Williams  College 
unworthy  of  being  a  full  part  of  the  Williams  commimity. 

The  fact  that  the  fraternities  are  an  integral  |>art  of  college 
life  cannot  be  escaped.  On  this  basis,  the  fraternities  ha\'e  the  re- 
sponsibility of  making  the  system  ser\'e  the  entire  student  body. 
This  res]5onsibility  includes  not  only  offering  all  Williams  men 
the  opportunity  to  join  a  fraternity,  but  also  the  freedom  not  to 
join  without  suffering  the  stigma  which  is  presently  attached. 

The  arguments  against  total  opportimity  are  becoming  in- 
creasingly less  \alid.  The  fraternit\'  men  who  maintain  that  the 
addition  of  one  man  might  weaken  the  bonds  of  biotherhood  and 
thereby  transform  the  frateriutv  from  a  true  brotherhood  to  a 
meaningless  eating  club  must  admit  that  their  brotherhood  is  weak 
indeed  if  it  cannot  survive  an  extra  )5erson.  Along  the  same  line, 
the  fraternity  man  might  also  ask  himself  if  there  is  not  already  an 
individual  in  his  house  that  he  doesn't  like. 

The  ]iro|)onents  of  brotherhood  should  recognize  that  argu- 
ments such  as  these  are  mere  rationalizations  and  that  the  real 
detriment  to  the  fraternity  system  is  the  failure  of  fraternities  to 
recognize  their  responsibility  to  the  college  as  a  whole.  All  of  this 
is  ob\  ions  but  far  too  many  students  argue  that  the  time  is  not 
now  ripe  and  they  wish  to  ])Ostpone  the  issue  for  another  year 
the  ho]ie  that  they  might  a\oid  a  decision  through  delay.  Such  an 
attitude  is  merely  a  rejection  of  the  princiiiles  of  total  opjiortiniity

Musical  organizations  come  and  go  'iieath  the  shadow  of  the 
hills,  and  as  the  S|iring  Street  Stompers  approach  the  end  of  a 
nghly  successful  career  the  latest  and,  (|uote,  "greatest",  are  bud- 
ding in  the  freshman  (|uacl.  With  .sophomore-manned  Pliinnev's

'Deep  Purples"  ha\e  appeared  to  add  a  touch  of  no\eltv  and  mel- 
ody to  numerous  programs  on  campus  and  off.  The  Iriendly  ri\  ai-

Ilousepartv-goers  can  find  out  for  ihemseKcs  when  the  two  grou])s

The  Deep  Purples  —  Henry  Cole,  Jerry  Rardiii,   Pirn  Goodbody.

The  "EpMuts" 

With  their  singing  no  relation 
to  the  sound  of  their  name,  the 
E|)blats"  made  their  first  ap- 
pearance at  the  Frosh  Sno-Ball 
during  the  Winter  Carnival 
where  they  were  an  instantane- 
ous success.  With  a  nucleus  of 
llaverford  grads  the  "E|5hlats" 
ha\e  since  toured  fraternity  row 
with  )5erformances  for  the  Theta 
Delts,  Betes,  Zetes  and  Sig  Phis. 

The  "Ephlats"  appeared  with 
the  Spring  Street  Stompers  at 
Colby  Jr.  and  Skidmorc  recently 
and  made  such  a  hit  that  they 
have  been  booked  for  a  return 
engagement  at  Colby  |r.  Tliey 
have  not  yet  reached  the  pinna- 
cle of  fame  they  report  they  have 
(from  one  as  -  yet  -  anonymous 
Ephlat,  "Down  at  Colby  some- 
oiu'  asked,  'The  Stompers'P  Yon 
mean  those  guys  that  played  dur- 
ing the  Ephlat  concert?")  but 
they  are  on  their  way. 

"CaJ  Kmji' 

jack  Hoyden  and  jack  Hyland 
are  the  melody-carrying  first  ten- 
ors, ably  backed  up  by  second 
tenors  .\l  Benton,  Al  Dono\an, 
and  Tony  Distler.  Brad  Smith 
and  Bill  Arend  take  the  baritone 
and  Kem  Bawden  is  the  lone  - 
but  sufficient  -  bass  and  doubles 
as  an  amateur  songwriter.  His 
adaption  of  another  piece  to  the 
Ephlats'  own  "Cal  King"  i.s  one 
of  the  grou])'s  favorite  novelty 
mimbers.  If  Cal  has  heard  it,  it  is 
imdoubtedly  his  favorite,  too.  ( If 
he  hasn't  he'd  better  buy  a  ticket 
to  hear  them.) 

The  rc|iertoire  of  the  Ephlats 
iiieludes  many  favorites  along 
with  "Cal  King",  "Mood  Indigo". 
"(Joney  Island  Babe",  and  "Little 
Imioeeiit  Lainb"  are  foremost 
among  the  20  selections  which 
Colby  [r.  and  a  number  of  New 
York  prep  schools  are  likely  to 
hear  in  the  octet's  forthcoming 
concerts. 


1984  And  All  That"  ■  A  Melodrama 
About  Houseparties  In  2056  AD 


/«/  Soc  Alhrifi,lil 

The  .scene  of  om-  meliKlrama  is  a  typical  room  in  a  typical  so- 
rority house  on  the  Willams  |imior  College  campus.  On  tlie  «,,|ls 
are  several  eheeseeak<'  photograiihs  ol  senii-mide  males,  melnilinii

naturally,  all  the  girls  have  dates  down.  The  time  is  very  vagu,  _ 
anytime  during  di<'  weekend  that  happens  to  be  cocktail  hour 

'I'hese  are  two  characters;  l.il,  in  whose  room  the  action  takes 
place,  and  |aek,  her  date. 

Lil  is  the  .Satiuday  hero  aroimd  Wilhaius  jr.,  as  she  is  (inaii.  i-

that' she  is  almost  running  out  of  hoys  to  invite  lor  housepartie 

Jack,  her  date,  has  his  eonipleiiieiil  of  physical  altiibutes  (  |;V 
.!:?-  3'3  anil  King  of  the  Berinnda  College  Week)  to  whet  bil's  o-

The  "Deep  Purples" 

Inspired  by  many  diings  (a 
song,  the  college  color,  and  |)er- 
haps  even  some  wine)  the  "Deej) 
Purples"  formed  just  for  the  fun 
of  singing,  and  both  they  and 
tiieir  audiences  are  still  enjoying 
the  octet's  performances.  Like 
die  "Ephlats",  the  "Deep  Pur- 
ples" first  appearetl  during  the 
Frosh  Sno-Ball  during  the  Winter 
Cariiival. 

The  "Deep  Purples"  have  since 
sung  at  the  F'rosh-Sopli  Smash 
cocktail  party,  a  Holyoke  Mi.xer. 
Mead  and  Lakeside  at  Holyoke 
and  at  Ross  anil  East  during 
Skidmore's    S])ring    Weekend. 

They  have  already  appeared 
lit  the  KA's  and  have  tentative 
dates  at  other  houses  for  the 
llouseparty  Weekend.  They  will 
also  a|5pear  on  the  |)rogram  of 
the  I'reshman  Review  and  later 
at  the  Skidmorc  Frosh  Picnic. 

Commercialism 

jiin  Reynolds  and  Pete  Find- 
lav  hit  the  high  notes  while  Don 
Hell  and  Pim  Coodbody  restrict 
tliemseKes  to  the  second  tenor 
line  for  the  "Deep  Purples".  Ken 
llaiif  and  Mike  Shimkin  are  the 
laritones  and  Hank  {>ole  and  Jer- 
ry Rardin  round  out  the  group 
with  the  bass.  Once  in  a  while, 
Heynolds  also  adds  a  little  guitar 
accompaniment. 

Among  the  repertoire  of  the 
"Deep  Pur|5les"  arc  "Sleepy  Time 
Cal",  "Tell  Me  Why",  "Memories 
are  Made  of  This' ,  and  a  num- 
ber of  spirituals.  Any  radio  com- 
mercials heard  emitting  from  the 
AMT  belong  to  the  "Deep  Pur- 
ples", too,  for  they  have  added 
to  their  singing  such  old  favor- 
ites as  "Aja\,  the  Foaming  Clean- 
ser", "Gillette  Blue  Blades"  and 
"Halo  Shami)oo  Halo!" 

There  is  no  question  about  it, 
this  group  has  taken  Washington 
Claddcn's  words  literally  and  has 
greeted  the  mountains  "till  hill 
and  valley  gaily,  gaily  ring".

A  leu  weeks  ai^o  the  HKCOKI)  piihlislieil  a  letter  bv  llaiiiil- 
toii  H.  Woods  11)  askiiii^  lor  a  eojiiparisoii  ol  tlu'  seort's  of  names 
lietwei'ii  Aiiilierst  and  W'illiains.  To  list  tlii'  eom|)arati\i'  seores  ol 
lvalues  between  Williaiiis  and  Amherst  would  be  a  waste  of  space, 
lint  one  tiling  is  eleai'  Ironi  a  studv  ol  resolts  ol  past  ijajnes;  that  Is 
that  \\  illiajns,  oji  the  whole,  has  won  its  shaic  ol  t;anies  in  Little 
Three  eoinpetitioii.  Koothall  eoaeli  I, en  Walters  is  loud  of  pointimj; 
ont  that  power  in  the  l.illle  I'hree  sei'iiis  to  run  in  es'eles.  Dnrinn 
the  past  few  \'ears  .\niherst  has  been  hinh.  lk'h)re  that.  Willianrs 
was  tile  leailer.  \ow   perhaps  it  is  Weslevan's  ehanee. 

In  the  total  innnber  ol  panics  |)layed  in  most  sports,  the  Kphs 
ha\e  won  more  jjanies  than  tliev  ha\e  lost.  'I'o  eite  one  e.\aniple, 
football.  Williams'  record  stands  at  '314  frames  won,  224  lost,  ami 
•37  ties  in  the  70  years  that  the  sport  has  been  plaved  at  Williams. 
The  Kphs  have  beaten  .\mherst  ■37  tinu's  while  losing  26  and  tic- 
ing  four  shames.  .Vnainst  Wesli'\an,  the  series  stands  at  34  wins, 
22  losses,  and  lonr  ties.  This  pattern  of  tairlv  snecesslul  competi- 
tion oxer  the  lony  ranije  is  repeated  in  most  sports. 

TIk'ii'  is  one  major  sport,  however,  where  Williams  has  not 
lart'd  as  \\i'll  in  recent  M'ars  as  it  minht  Iuinc.  That  sport  is  base- 
ball and  the  reason  for  tlu'  lailuri'  of  l'!ph  teams  to  win  their  share 
of  j^ames  can  be  placeil  S(|narel\  on  Williarnstown's  normal  sprini^ 
climate  (rain!)  and  the  lack  ol  an  adeipuite  cage  wlicrt'  the  team 
can  hold  indoor  practices,  f'snallv  the  nine  bei^ins  to  bit  its  form 
jnst  as  the  .season  closes.  The  players  arc  in  top  condition  for 
American  l_.enion  and  indnstrial  league  ball  tlnring  tlu'  snmmcr 
\acation. 

While  Amherst  coach  Paul  Ecklev  is  able  to  hold  full  scale 
hiftini;  and  lieldiny  drills  in  the  Jeffs'  cas^c  Irom  tlii'  tla\'  the  bas- 
ketball season  ends.  "Bobb\  C'oombs  can  do  little  more  than  i;i\e 
his  pitclu'rs  practice  in  \\'illianis'  narrow  casje.  .Most  years  the 
Eph  baltt'rs  ha\c  not  bad  a  chance  to  take  a  full  swinj^  at  a  pitched 
ball  belort'  the  team  heads  south  for  a  few  warmup  ijames.  This 
is  the  prime  reason  for  the  weak  hittint;  of  most  Willianrs  base- 
ball teams. 

from  the  u'a\'  Williams  acted  in  its  first  home  name  last  week- 
enil,  thiiit!;s  are  l^oint;  to  cliani^e  this  sprint;.  The  Kph  hitti'rs  looked 
as  if  the\-  had  spent  excry  day  ihnini;  the  past  month  swinyins;  a 
bat  at  fast  and  cur\c  ball  pitcbinn  as  lhc\-  blasted  the  ball  all 
over  Weston  Field.  The  fielding  and  pitcbinsf  weri'  also  much  bet- 
ter than  any  Williams  fan  had  a  rit;ht  to  e.\pcct.  considerini;  die 
tronbk'  this  year's  team  had  in  i^cttini;  decent  practices  in. 

.\  basi'ball  tan  at  Williams  has  to  consider  the  poor  pre- 
season |)ractice  conditions  which  the  baseball  team  must  nnderno. 
When  a  team  doi'S  well  despite  these  ])robleins  it  deserves  c.\tra 
applau.sc.  PcHiaps  the  ronnhest  foe  the  baseball  team  faces  all  sea- 
son is  the  remnants  of  winter.  If  the  Ephs  can  beat  this,  they  will 
do  well  ai^ainst  mere  collcf^c  teams.

Miller  and  Jay  Hodg.son  make  up 
the  first  line  and  Pete  Tacy.  a 
consistent  scorer.  George  Fisher

ond group.  High-.scoring  Pit  Jolni- 
son  leads  the  attack  unit,  backed 
up  by  Bob  Embrey  and  Chip 
Shutt. 

Jaukey,  .second  team  all-Mary-

outstanding  in  tlio  nets  again  this

Hotchliiss  Wins 

On  Cole  Field  the  outlook  was 
different  as  Len  Waters'  freshman 
baseball  team  was  defeated  8-1  by 
Hotchkiss,  The  visitors  coupled  a 
walk,  two  Eph  errors,  and  an  in- 
field hit  to  register  three  runs  off 
of  starting  Williams  pitcher.  Paul 
Brown,  in  the  third  Inning.  Adding

Yale  Defeats  Williams  Tennis  Team,  6-3; 
Purple  Faces  Visiting  Dartmouth  Tuesday 


By  Dave   Sims 

New  Haven,  May  1  —  The  Wil- 
liams tennis  squad  dropped  its 
second  matcli  of  the  .sea.son,  6-3, 
to  a  sti'ong  Yale  Varsity  this  after- 
noon. One  of  the  deciding  factors 
was  when  Co-Captain  Wally  Jen- 
sen dropped  the  third  set  of  the 
fiist  singles  after  leading  thi'ee 
love.  His  opponent,  Ei'ic  Moore, 
put  on  the  pressure  and  took  the 
match  6-3,  4-6,  6-4, 

Yale's  Ed  Meyer  made  the  score 
2-0  as  he  whipped  Karl  Hirslimar. 
in  successive  sets  6-2,  6-3,  In  the 
thii-d  and  fourth  singles  both  Dave 
Leonard  and  Tom  Schulman  went 
down  to  defeat,  though  Schulman 
took  his  man  to  three  sets  before 


losing.  Lew  Bortnick  scored  the 
fiist  point  for  the  Ephs,  defeating 
Read  Williamson  6-3,  1-6,  6-3,  Bob 
Kingsbury  went  on  to  win  the  last 
singles  in  easy  fashion  6-2,  6-0, 
and  the  score  stood  at  4-2  entering 
the  doubles, 

Yale  clinched  the  match  in  the 
first  doubles  as  Leonard  and  Jen- 
.seii  lost  ,successive  .sets  6-3.  7-5. 
Co-Captain  Ben  Oxnard  teamed 
with  Hirshman  to  win  tlie  second 
doubles  11-9.  6-4.  but  Kingsbury 
and  Brovver  Merriam  lost  in  three 
•sets  6-4.  7-9,  7-5. 

The  Dartmouth  squad  comes  in- 
to Williamstown  this  Tuesday  to 
face  an  optimistic  Eph  team. 


■Wednesday,  May  2  -  The  Wil- 
liams varsity  laci'osse  team  lost 
to  Yale,  6-1,  this  afternoon  des- 
pite the  faci  that  it  played  Its 
best  game  of  the  season  according 
to  Eph  coach  Jim  Ostendarp, 

Yale,  ranked  third  in  the  nation 
befoie  the  season  began,  recently 
defeated  a  powerful  Hofstra  squad, 
8-6,  In  contrast,  the  Williams 
stifkmen  were  oveiwhelmed  by 
Hofstra,  17-2,  Thus,  the  fact  that 
Williams  .succeeded  in  preventing 
Yale  from  running  away  with  the 
contest,  indicates  the  tremendous 
extent  to  which  WiUiams  has  been 
improving  in  recent  days. 

Foehl    Scores 

Al  Foehl,  playing  on  the  mid- 
field  line  along  with  co-captains 
Jim  Edgar  and  Bob  Spaeth,  tal- 
lied the  lone  Williams'  score  in 
the  fourth  quarter  on  an  assist  by 
Dave  Andrew,  Foehl  managed  to 
flip  the  shot  past  the  Bulldog 
goalie,  who  succeeded  in  blocking 
twenty-three  of  the  twenty-four 
Eph  shots  taken  throughout  the 
afternoon, 

Yale  demonstrated  an  aggres- 
sive offensive  attack  by  taking 
thirty-foui'  shots  at  Eph  goalie 
Buster  Smith,  who  made  some 
spectacular  saves  in  tui'ning  back 
twenty-eight  of  them.  Smith,  by 
continuing  his  excellent  play,  re- 
mained in  contention  for  the 
goalie  position  on  the  North  All 
Star  Team,  a  position  for  which 
he  has  established  himself  as  one 
of  the  leading  candidates, 
Ephs    Use   Zone 

The  lack  of  depth  of  the  Wil- 
liams' squad  as  compared  to  the 
abundant  talent  on  the  Yale  team 
compelled  the  Purple  to  substitute 
a  zone  defense  for  the  regular 
man-to-man  defense  for  the  first

As  an  Engineer  hi  the  Transmission 
Section  of  Hell  Trlephone  Company  of 
Pennsylvania.  I^ichard  M.  Walsh  plans 
for  the  future. 

"Our  group's  responsiliility."  says 
Dirk,  "is  to  see  that  we  have  sulTaient 
facilities  to  handle  piescnt  and  future 
needs.  Teleplutuc  usage  is  growing  every 
year,  and  we  keep  up  with  tin.-  growth 
by  keeping  ahead  of  it. 

"For  in.stance.  to  meet  the  increasing 
demand  for  romniuniration  circuits  in 
our  area,  we're  adding  70.000  new  chan- 
nel niiles  this  year  alone,  al  a  cost  of 
S.'l.'iOO.OOO.  Laying  new  cable  will  give 
us  10.000  of  those  channel  miles,  and

carrier  equipment,  vvbii'b  lets  us  send  a 


number  of  long  distance  calls  on  each 
pair  of  wires  siinultaneouslv . 

"Thus,  though  a  cable  might  have  only 
300  pairs  of  wires,  we  can.  with  carrier, 
make  it  carry  over  ,3000  telepbtme  calls 
at  one  lime.  Using  carrier  equipment  to 
get  extra  circuits  out  of  cable  — which  is 
cx|)ensive  to  make  and  lay— is  an  example 
of  how  we  enginee'  to  give  high-grade 
service  al  the  lowest  possible  cost. 

"Before  1  grailuatcd  from  college  I  had

Out  of  all  these  I  chose  the  telephone 
company  because  it  had  the  most  to  oUcr

Dickenson  Works 


President  Cole  Praises 
Valuable  Literary  Gift 


Prof.    Shapley    as    the    man    for, 
wliom     "Shapley's     Center,"     the 
Milky   Way's  center,   was  named. 

In  one  of  the  most  humorous 
lectures  of  the  year.  Dr.  Shapley 
captured  his  audience  by  treat- 
ing a  difficult  topic  in  a  light 
vein.  He  started  the  main  body  of 
his  talk  by  showing  a  geological 
timetable  which  placed  man  in 
genetic  relationship  to  other  liv- 
ing organisms.  To  supplement  the 
table  he  included  slides  of  various 
forms  that  existed  during  certain 
eras. 

Graveyard    of   Failures 

Dr.  Shapley  pointed  out  that 
the  "earth  is  a  graveyard  of  fail- 
ures" by  showing  slides  of  ani- 
mals which  are  now  extinct.  The 
oldest  ancestor  of  the  insect  now 
surviving  is  the  cockroach.  Prof. 
Shapley  facetiously  advised,  there- 
fore, "When  you  next  see  a  cock- 
roach, salute". 

As  an  example  of  pre-man  sur- 
vivors it  was  shown  that  ants  have 
had  essentially  the  same  success- 
ful body  design  for  millions  ot 
years.  A  question  was  raised  as  to 
what  man  will  be  like  in  the  fu- 
ture. 

Man  and  Starlight 

After  showing  man's  relation- 
ship to  other  forms  of  life.  Prof. 
Shapley  showed  slides  of  differ- 
ent galaxies  and  heavenly  bodies 
in  order  to  establish  a  relation- 
ship between  them  and  man.  He 
explained  that  the  light  we  see 
emanating  from  stars  originated 
before  even  the  ants  existed,  thus 
showing  that  man  wasn't  even  in 
the  picture, 

He  described  our  particular  gal- 
axy as  a  wheel  shaped  system,  and 
said  it  is  only  one  of  an  infinite 
number  of  similar  systems.  The 
lecture  stressed  the  point  tnat  our 
sun  is  only  a  minute  object  on  the 
fringe  of  an  arm  of  the  wheel,  and 
though  it  is  great  in  size  when 
compared  to  the  earth,  it  is  mi- 
nute in  relationship  to  other  stars. 

Russia  to  be  Easy 
During  an  explanation  of  the 
work  being  done  by  astronomers 
to  gather  this  material,  Prof. 
Shapley  talked  about  various  ob- 
servatories in  the  world.  In  con- 
nection with  this  he  remarked  that 
his  greatest  diplomatic  effort  was 
to  get  North  and  South  Ireland  to 
collaborate  in  building  a  telescope 
in  South  Africa.  Having  been  suc- 
cessful in  this  he  said,  "Russia 
ought  to  be  easy". 

A  short  question  and  answer 
period  followed  the  address  for 
the  people  in  the  Lab.  After  this 
further  discussion  was  carried  on 
in  an  informal  discussion  in  the 
Rathskeller  of  the  Student  Union.

time  this  season.  This  unexpected 
defensive  maneuver  apparently  be- 
fuddled the  Eli  offense  which 
gained  but  a  1-0  lead  at  the  end 
of  the  first  quarter. 

Although  the  entire  team  must 
be  credited  for  the  relative  suc- 
cess of  the  zone,  special  mention 
must  be  given  to  the  Eph  defense, 
consisting  of  Jim  Smith,  Joe  Per- 
rott  and  Tony  Fergueson,  for  it 
spirited  play. 

Subs  Improve 

Coach  Ostendarp  was  particu- 
larly pleased  with  the  perform- 
ances of  Tony  Brockelman,  Dave 
Hilliard  and  Gary  Shortlidge  who 
comprise  the  second  midfield  line. 
Although  Spaeth,  Foehl,  and  Ed- 
gar will  have  a  definite  edge  over 
this  second  midiield  combination, 
it  will  be  possible  to  substitute  for 
them  more  freely  without  losing 
offensive  strength. 

The  loss  was  the  third  Wil- 
liams' defeat  in  four  contests.  Fol- 
lowing an  initial  defeat  at  the 
hands  of  Tufts,  the  Stickmen  re- 
bounded to  defeat  Harvard  but 
were  subsequently  defeated  by 
Hofstra  and  Yale. 


Amherst,  May  5  —  An  impor- 
'  tant  collection  of  literary  materi- 
,  al  has  recently  been  turned  over 
I  to  Amherst  College,  it  was  an- 
;  nounced  today.  According  to  Am- 
herst President  Charles  Cole  some 
BOO  manuscript  poems,  letters,  and 
'  notes  of  Emily  Dickinson  have 
b3en  given  to  the  New  England 
college  by  Mrs.  Millicent  Todd 
Bingham  of  Washington,  D.  C. 

President  Cole  was  enthusiastic 
about  the  donation.  "One  of  the 
most  important  collections  of  li- 
terary material  owned  by  any  col- 
lege, the  manuscripts  have  a  mo- 
neta;y  as  well  as  literary  value," 
he  said.  "In  recent  years  the  few 
Dickinson  manuscripts  that  liave 
found  their  way  to  Uie  market 
have  sold  for  about  $125  apiece." 

Amherst  Poetess 

Miss  Dickin.son  lived  and  com- 
posed in  Amherst  for  the  greater 
part  of  her  life  leading  a  secluded 
existence  in  her  father's  home. 
One  of  the  reasons  for  the  dona- 
tion lay  in  the  connection  betwc?n 
the  college  and  the  community 
where  the  poetess  composed. 

The  collection  is  quite  prolific. 
In  addition  to  the  first  editions  of 
her  works,  it  Includes  the  only  da- 
guerrotype  of  Miss  Dickinson 
known  to  exist,  correspondence  re- 
lating to  her  work,  and  many  of 
her  original  manuscripts. 

Possession    Controversial 

The  collection  has  been  the  sub- 
ject of  considerable  controversy. 
According  to  the  AMHERST  STU- 
DENT there  has  been,  for  the  last 
decade,  a  series  of  "complex  legal 
conflicts  enmeshing  the  coveted 
papers."  There  are  possibilities  of 
further  hassles  over  the  possession  ' 
of  the  collection,  according  to  the 
Amherst  journal.  | 


Typical  .  .  . 


classes.  91  per  cent  of  all  men 
shy  away  from  the  prospect  of 
any  class  before  ten  o'clock,  and  9 
per  cent  seek  to  avoid  classes  al- 
together. Another  large  bloc 
frowns  on  any  schedule  not  forti- 
fied with  at  least  three  recognized 
"guts".  A  good  90  per  cent  of  the 
faculty,  incidentally,  show  little 
cooperation  in  these  scheduling 
enterprises. 

What  did  Type  Williams  get  on 
his  last  Bug  quiz'.'  "Bee  bar".  His 
history  hour'?  "Hook  ploo".  Math 
quiz?  "Zip".  You  saw  him  leave 
his  lab  early  Tuesday'.'  You're 
wrong.  He  was  blasting  off.  When 
he's  tired  of  working  Friday  night, 
he  doesn't  go  out  for  a  little  drink, 
he  takes  in  a  little  '6  House  ac- 
tion. 

Williams  men  stand  solid  on 
their  choice  of  clothes.  The  Co- 
Op,  House  of  Walsh,  and  Brooks 
Brothers  are  old  standbys.  In  this 
field  though,  atypical,  subversive 
elements  are  constantly  at  work. 
One  iconoclast  was  seen  ripping 
the  belt  off  the  back  of  his  black 
twills.  Another  was  seen  sewing 
up  the  button  holes  on  his  button- 
down  shirt.  Still  another  was  ob- 
served pegging  a  pair  of  Bermu- 
da shorts. 

Ephman  is  Practical 

Practical  economics  play  a  large 
part  in  a  typical  Williams  man's 
habits.  One  example  will  suffice. 
Though  25  per  cent  smoke  Ches- 
terfields, and  another  24  per  cent 
smoke  Luekies,  Camels,  and  Win- 
ston's, 51  per  cent  of  the  campus 
smoke  whatever  the  last  cigarette 
representative  handed  out  as 
samples. 

What  does  an  Ephman  do  when 
he  has  been  decisively  chopped 
I  the  average  chop-rate  is  eleven 
per  semester,  and  certain  notable 
individuals  have  received  up  to 
ten  for  a  .single  datei  and  he  is 
limited  to  Williamstown's  limited 
entertainment  facilities'.'  He  flicks. 
Most  flickers,  87  per  cent  to  be 
exact,  go  to  movies  for  the  express 
purpose    of   ogling    the   featured

attempt  to  reach  the  souls  of  all 
present  at  intermission  time.  Usu- 
al breakups  are  due  to  occur  some- 
time tomorrow  morning  but  un- 
verified reports  reveal  some  cou- 
ples plan  to  tent  it  under  the 
stars. 

On  Saturday  morning,  class  pic- 
nics will  dominate  the  scene. 
Freshman  and  sophomore  couples 
will  lunch  in  front  of  the  Field 
House  while  seniors  and  juniors 
lounge  down  below  on  the  lacrasse 
field. 

Athletic    Events 

On  Saturday  afternoon,  four 
athletic  contests  provide  ample 
opportunity  for  certain  rocks  to 
shake  off  the  effects  of  the  night 
before.  Coach  Bobby  Coombs' 
ba.scball  club  playing  after  just  a 
24  hour  respite  takes  up  the 
gauntlet  with  We.sleyan  on  Wes- 
ton Field  at  2:30.  Up  on  Dick 
Baxter's  links,  two  matches  are 
scheduled.  The  varsity  engages  in 
a  four-way  match  with  Holy  Cross. 
Middlebury  and  Connecticut,  and 
tlie  frash  sluggers  face  Hotchkiss 
both    at    2:00.    Coach    Al    Shaw's 


femme  fatale's  form,  Joan  Collins, 
Sophia  Loren,  and  Brigelte  Bar- 
dot  have  caused  many  Ephmen  to 
ponder  the  defects  of  an  all-men's 
college   this  past  year. 

Or  entertainment  can  be  in  the 
form  of  sports.  A  majority  of 
freshmen  and  .sophomores  play 
the  relatively  rocky  sports  for 
pleasure,  but  juniors  and  seniors 
rapidly  develop  cynicism  for  over- 
activity, and  take  up  the  more  se- 
dentary sports,  i.e.  bridge  and 
poker.  This  is  readily  shown  by 
the  fact  that  (iO  per  cent  of  the 
graduating  class  possess  a  pot  of 
greater  or  lesser  degree. 

Other  interesting  data  has  been 
di.scovered,  but  a  large  portion  of 
it  would  be  banned  in  Boston.  It 
was  found,  however,  that  the  ty-

ed conclusively — had  2.0  parents.

Karl  Kphruim  Weston  was  one 
of  the  urealest  teaehers  with 
which  any  American  eollepe  has 
been  hh'^sed  and  the  perfect  em- 
hodiment  of  the  humane  and  U-

strive.  In  my  undergraduate  days 
he  was  a  consummate  teacher  of 
French  literature,  but  he  soon 
transferrcMl  his  exceptional  talents 
to  the  Williams  Art  Department. 
He  brought  a  love  and  apprecia- 
tion of  beauty  to  thoasands  of 
Williams  underRraduutes,  ffiving 
them  an  understanding  of  refine- 
ment and  taste  in  the  best  sense 
of  these  words.  Many  of  his  stu-

Andover  School  Chaplain 
Cites  Finding  of  Truth 
As  Essential  to  Life 


Sunday,  May  6  -  What  is  truth, 
and  having  found  It,  how  can  we 
keep  it  alivev  That,  .said  the  Rev- 
erend A,  Graham  Baldwin  tonight, 
is  a  question  we  must  each  find 
an  answer  to  if  we  are  to  get  any 
value  out  of  life.  Dr.  Baldwin,  & 
Williams  graduate  and  Chaplain 
of  Phillips  Andover  Academy  ,since 
1930,  ,spoke  at  the  regular  7:30 
service  in  the  Thomp.son  Memori- 
al Chapel. 

Dr.  Baldwin  mentioned  his 
special  admiration  for  three  great 
historical  figures— Christ,  Buddha 
and  Socrates — because  of  their 
love  of  truth.  He  recalled  Socra- 
tes, b,.'forc  his  accusers  choosing 
dealli  rathe-  than  suffocation  of 
his  philosophy:  and  Christ,  who 
in  a  like  situation  told  Pilate 
fearlessly.  "I  come  to  bear  wit- 
ness of  the  Truth."  Pilate  an- 
.swercd,  "What  is  Truth?" 

Search    for   Truth 

That,  stated  Dr.  Baldwin,  is 
the  question  we  must  endeavor  to 
answer.  He  pointed  out  tliat  he 
had  seen  three  Broadway  plays 
this  year — "The  Lark".  "Cat  on  a 
Hot  Tin  Roof",  and  "Time  Limit" 
— and  that  all  three  revolve  about 
the  central  problem  of  truth. 

"We  cannot  find  a  life  of  crea- 
tive peace  and  harmony  without 
the  truth."  concluded  Dr.  Bald 
win.  "We  need  to  know  the  truth 
about  ourselves  and  about  others 
and  to  live  it.  We  must  ignore  no 
truth  and  fear  no  value".  Know- 
ing truth,  we  must  cling  to  it 
courageously  and  simply.  For 
without  truth,   we   have   not   life.

has  been  broken,  and  once  again 
Fortune  smiles  on  the  sons  of 
Ephraim,  Goodness  is  yet  alive, 
and  miracles  do  happen,  for  the 
sun  shone  on  the  Berk,shires  last 
Saturday,  All  this  is  merely  a  re- 
awakening of  Romanticism  in  the 
cold  wintry  heart  of  a  Williams 
student  who  finally  saw  the  im- 
po.ssible  happen:  the  beauties  of 
the  Berkshires  and  the  beauties 
of  Vassar.  Smith,  etc.,  brought  to-

Houseparty, 

Jupiter  Pluvius  at  first  looked 
in  usual  form  as  Friday  afternoon 
frowned  grey  and  rainy  on  the 
incoming  lovelies.  A  preview  of 
good  things  to  come,  though,  was 
immediately  seen  in  the  Fi-osh 
Revue,  the  brilliance  of  which  was 
only  outshone  by  the  sun  the  next 
day.  Playing  to  a  standing-room- 
only  audience,  the  .show  under  the 
direction  of  Pete  Culman  featured 
a  .score  of  almost  broadway  cali- 
ber written  by  Cy  Bullock,  re- 
ceived five  curtain  calls;  the  en- 
thusiastic audience  would  let  the 
cast  go  only  after  they  had  car- 
ried Culman  and  Bullock  off  on 
their  shoulders.

Humming  Bullock's  theme  song, 
the  festive  crowd  adjourned  to

Mr.  Playfair  commented  on  the 
original  translation  by  Mr.  Sava-

"There  is  no  reason  why  modern 
playwrights  cannot  make  a  new 
play  out  of  an  old  one.  No  play-

wrong  in  America  if  these  folklest 
of  folk  song  could  not  be  sung 
publicly;  so  in  true  patriotic  spirit 
he  burned  a  few  innocent  ears  and 
then  commissioned  everyone  to  go

Meanwhile,  in  the  lower  lounge. 
Max  Kaminsky  had  drafted  Dean 
Lamson  into  sei-vlce  with  his  hot

his  ear  nor  Marlowe  his  horn. 
Still,  though,  as  the  wee  hours 
crept  on  and  tired,  groggy  couples 
settled  down  for  the  night,  the 
weather  didn't  change,  cynics 
were  reasserting  their  faith  in  the 
hopelessness  of  spring  ever  com- 
ing and  the  security  of  the  ever- 
faithful  bottle. 

One  Lovely  Day 

Something  happened  In  the 
niglit.  When  those  awoke  who  had 
gone  to  bed  the  sun  was  shining, 
the  birds  were  singing,  and  the 
bees  were  buzzing.  Raincoats 
were  .stflshed;  bermudas  donned; 
Ephmen  headed  for  their  beloved 
mountains.  Of  course,  the  more 
loyal   remained  behind   to  cheer 


on  lacrosse,  baseball  and  golf  con- 
tingents; but  everywhere,  whether 
on  Cole  Field  or  Pine  Cobble, 
blanket  parties  were  in  fashion 
and  nature  was  the  object  of  win- 
ter-weary, lonely  young  lovers, 
amazed  by  their  good  luck. 

On  into  the  night — the  weather 
held  without  a  drop  of  rain.  By 
evening  sun  helmets  had  appeared 
on  many,  and  many  of  the  nu- 
merous red  faces  under  them  were 
results  of  something  other  than 
martinis  and  gin  punch,

To  many  the  climax  of  the 
weekend  came  with  the  traditional 
jazz  concert  in  Chapin  Hall,  which 
marked  the  end  of  an  era  for

ance of  the  Spring  Street  Stom-

as  they  swung  Into  one  last  blast

of  dixieland  jazz  at  Williams,

tion for  the  last  65  years.  | 
Now  a  nationally  ailniired  center  for  a  wide  \arietv  of  hi^h  j 
(juality  merchandise,  the  Honse  of  Walsh  affords  the  discriniina- ' 
ting  buyer  a  selection  ranging;  from  a  Madras  watch  band  to  a  i 
Martini  glass  marked   with  tlie   Williams  seal,   from  a   Williams 
garter  to  a  jjair  of  Head  skis,  from  a  bahv's  hib  decorated  with  a 
purple  cow  to  clothing  styles  which  rank  with  those  of  the  best 
Fifth  A\'enne  stores. 

Histoni 
The  store  was  foinided  in  1891  by  a  Syrian  who  had  worked 
his  way  through  Williams  by  selling  rugs.  His  name:  Garabed 
Simeon  Azhderian.  The  store  was  only  a  shadow  of  its  present 
descendent,  comprising  only  a  fraction  of  the  space  now  occupied 
by  the  House  of  Walsh,  and  selling  only  mens'  furnishings  and 
shoes.  15iit  Azhderian  had  already  turned  this  corner  of  Spring 
Street  into  a  Williams  institution.  "He  was  well  known  to  all  tlii' 
Williams  men  of  his  time,"  said  Phil  Walsh.  "They  loved  him 
around  here". 

With  the  coming  of  the  world  war  in  1918,  the  store  changed 
hands.  It  was  bought  by  one  of  Azhderian's  emjiloyees.  Nelson 
W.  Domin  —  now  president  of  the  Williamstown  National  Bank  — 
who  flourished  during  the  fast-spending  twenties  until  business 
fell  sharply  with  the  cie|>ression.  The  store  was  sold  again  in  1932 
to  its  ])resent  owners. 

The  Brothers  Walsh 
While  Phil  and  Tom  Walsh  were  studying  at  the  University 
of  .Massachusetts,  they  worked  in  their  spare  time  in  their  Uncle's 
store  in  Amherst,  which  had  been  in  the  family  since  it  had  been 
founded  in  1901.  When  the  uncle  retired  in  19.52,  the  Amherst  store 
was  bought  by  the  two  brothers  and  a  third,  Lloyd,  who  manages 
it  today. 

After  college,  Phil  and  Tom  had  decided  to  go  into  business  for 
themselves.  Following  four  years  of  work  at  Bowdoin  and  Dart- 
mouth, they  bought  the  Williamstown  store.  Prospects  were  not 
l^roniising  for  the  two  brothers  in  1932.  Backed  by  only  a  small 
amount  of  capital,  they  faced  the  darkest  years  of  the  dejiression, 
when  "nobody  spent  anything".  And  the  small  men's  fmnishings 
shop  faced  imijressive  competitors.  Besides  the  Langrock  cloth- 
ing store  then  across  Sjiring  Street,  stores  like  Brooks  Brothers, 
Rogers  Peet  and  j.  Press  would  rent  space  in  Williamstown  for 
a  few  days  at  a  time  to  display  their  clothes. 
Expansion 
It  is  significant  that  the  New  Y'ork  stores  no  longer  come  to 
Williamstown,. for  since  1932  the  store  has  undergone  considerable 
expansion  both  in  size  and  variety  of  merchandise,  and  its  name  — 
which  appears  fre[|uently  now  in  such  magazines  as  "Saturday 
Evening  Post'  and  the  "New  Yorker"  -  has  gathered  an  extra- 
ordinary amount  of  publicity  and  respect  for  a  store  of  its  size. 

After  buying  out  a  neighboring  business  to  create  what  is  now 
tlie  front  of  the  store,  the  Walsh  brothers  expanded  toward  the 
back  of  the  |iresent  store  to  accommodate  the  new  stock.  Pointing 
to  ii  rack  of  summer  suits,  Phil  said,  "We  hud  In  cut  through  solid 
rock  to  make  this  expansion ".  With  the  latest  addition,  completed 
this  winter,  the  House  of  Walsh  now  owns  the  whole  block  on 
which  it  stands. 

Business 
With  the  ex])ansion  of  space  and  merchandise  came  an  im- 
pressive growth  of  business.  About  70  per  cent  of  today's  custom- 
ers includes  residents  from  a  surrounding  area  of  about  150  miles 
(including  Albany  and  Pittsfield)  and  alumni  all  over  the  country. 
The  mail  order  business  is  large  and  unsolicited. 

Besides  their  stock  of  clothes,  the  House  of  Walsh  has  a  fine 
ski  shop  and  selection  of  popular  and  classical  records.  Phil  and 
Tom  have  recently  begun  to  sell  women's  clothes.  Trips  to  Ben- 
nington, which  the  Walsh  brothers  find  "rewarding  businesswise", 
are  made  weekly.  Summer  business  has  increased  thanks  to  the 
new  golf  club  and  the  Williamstown  smnmer  theatre. 
Results 
Thanks  to  this  expansion,  and  to  the  fact  that  it  caters  to  a 
special  taste,  the  House  of  Walsh  has  an  advantage  over  other 
clothing  stores:  a  wide  variety  of  appealing  items  is  sold  under 
one  roof,  eliminating  the  inconvenience  of  shojiping  in  several 
stores.  Because  of  the  extensive  business,  the  House  of  Walsh  can 
afford  to  let  customers  make  up  their  own  minds,  without  "high 
pressure  salesmanship".  This  policy  is  based  on  Phil's  theory  that 
an  unmolested  customer  tends  to  be  a  happier  one. 

"Quite  a  coincidence"  occurred  when  three  state  governors 
arrived  at  the  Honse  of  Walsh  at  the  same  time.  Governors  Leh- 
.  man  of  New  York,  Driscoll  of  New  Jersey,  and  Ely  of  Massachu- 
setts —  all  Williams  graduates  —  dropped  in  during  a  football 
weekend.  Governor  Driscoll  bought  a  black  sweater  with  a  "W" 
on  it. 

During  the  hurricane  of  1938,  which  came  during  fall  house- 

f)arties,  the  House  of  Walsh  carried  on  unfazed  by  a  power  failure, 
ined  the  coimters  with  candles,  and  continued  to  sell  dress  shirts 
and  cummerbunds. 

Staff 
Tom  and  Phil  employ  seven  men  in  their  store.  General  Man- 
ager Al  Triidel  has  been  with  them  for  15  years.  A  Williams  ski 
coach  in  1953-45,  he  runs  the  ski  shop  and  posts  daily  reports  from 
Bromley,  Dutch  Hill  and  Jiminy  Peak.  He  is  also  tne  leader  of  a 
local  danceband. 

Bonkxkecper  Robert  Danaher,  a  graduate  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, handles  the  store's  accoimts.  Salesman  Bob  |ordan  was 
formerly  an  amateur  fjoxing  champion,  and  is  active  in  the  Wil- 
liamstown Boys'  Club.  Three  tailors  do  the  alterations. 

The  most  recent  addition  to  the  staff  is  Tom's  son.  Tad.  A 
graduate  of  Lenox  School,  he  plans  to  make  merchandising  his 
career.  Timmy,  Phil's  10-year-old  son,  answers  the  phone  and 
does  errands.  "He  may  be  selling  clothes  to  your  son,"  said  Phil 
to  an  undergraduate  who  was  trving  on  a  straw  hat.

The  more  i>raise  the  better,  jiraise  directed  respectively  to 
oiigiuality,  humor,  initiative,  and  effort.  The  Glass  ol  1959  has 
produced,  directed,  and  performed  a  show  of  its  own.  All  involved 
sacrifici'tl  long  hours  to  work  and  rehearse  in  the  A.  M.  T.  Partic- 
nlarlv  to  be  applauded  for  effort  are  Director  Pete  Culman  and 
nmsic  writer  C:y  Bullock,  whose  orchestrations  and  tunes  show 
considerable  talent. 

After  the  first  laughs  were  drawn  by  several  false  starts  in 
raising  the  curtain,  a  chorus  of  rather  haphazardly  made  up  and 
ill-at-ease  performers  sung  the  opener.  Immediately  h)llowing  this, 
|ohn  Boyd  as  a  professional  sleuth  wandered  on  stage  in  search 
of  a  theme  (which  incideutallv  was  not)  which,  in  the  form  ol  a 
spot  of  light,  eluded  his  e\ery  grasp.  His  cultivated  whine  made 
funny  what  might  otherwise  have  been  rathei'  stock. 

The  scene  shifts.  Jerry  Murphy  as  a  hilariously  dead-pan  war 
corresp(mdent  finds  himself  among  rather  undesirable  company 
(|uite  near  some  front  line  somewhere.  Each  time  the  lights  go  out, 
he  manages  to  knife  one  of  them  and  pack  them  off  to  food  storage. 
Grey  McGown,  Bill  Edgar,  Fred  Miley,  and  finally  Steve  Webb 
as  poor  wacky  Pierre  all  suffer  the  same  end,  turning  in  and  out 
of  spoons  in  Pierre's  collection.  But  Mark  gets  it  in  the  end,  a  fork, 
that  is. 

True  to  the  theme,  the  next  attraction  was  a  song  and  dance 
duet  by  Hugh  Baxter  as  Mr.  K.  and  Tony  Distler  as  Mr.  B.  from 
liussia.  Thanks  to  the  sign  placed  on  stage  connnanding  the  com- 
rade audience  to  either  laugh  or  groan  at  the  jokes,  some  really 
bad  ones  got  by. 

Our  college  idol  Norman  X'incent  Peale  took  it  on  the  chin 
again  by  way  of  an  act  called  "The  Power  of  Positive  Reincar- 
nation."  When  the  sedncti\e  |aek  Foster  asked  him,  Dick  Lee  as 
Dr.  Normally  Innocent  Feeling,  how  to  improve  her  profession, 

he  rejjlied,  "Read  my  book  Tlw  Power  of  Positive  ".  George 

Benedict  was  the  maid,  and  Da\e  Thatcher  jjlayed  a  more  dif- 
ficidt  role  as  hypnotist,  while  Holly  Gantus  showed  remarkable 
facility  and  xerisiniilitude  as  a  drunk. 

"Mavbe  the  man  on  the  trampoline  could  tell  us  the  theme, " 
twanged  |ohn  Bovdcn.  Maybe  he  could  have,  but  he  didn't;  he 
just  bounced  luound  amid  ooh's  and  aah's  from  the  audience,  ex- 
ecuting all  sorts  of  <|uite  difficult  flips  and  twists.  Warren  King 
would  probablv  find  better  recognition  of  his  talents  if  he  went 
back  to  Springfield  with  the  trampoline, 

"What  do  von  mean  coming  in  here  like  that! "  said  Stu  Wal- 
lace as  Anna  Banana  Magnani  to  Dick  l.ncier  as  Lancaster.  It 
seems  that  his  drunken  hallucinations  about  being  a  "happv  bird" 
offended  the  greasv.  fat,  sloM'ulv.  shoddy,  smelly  ladv's  delicate 
sensibilities. 

"The  Drinking  Song"  sung  by  the  now  more  compo.sed  six- 
teen was  both  well  written  and  well  sung,  pjoNidiiig  a  careful  buf- 
fer between  "The  Rose  Tatoo""' and  E.  j.  Johnson's  "Beer,  Lo\e, 
and  .'\pathy".  To  the  tune  of  a  well  known  popular  song,  "Faith, 
Love,  and  Gharity,"  with  revised  lyrics,  the  team  of  Stoner  and 
Johnson  executed  an  anthropological  strip  tease  starting  with 
Egy|)tian  headdress  and  ending  in  ski\vies. 

An  anmsing  ""Ballad  of  Straight  Arrow"  by  Dave  Skaff  and 
sung  hv  Charlie  Marshall  was  the  next  logical  statement  of  the 
theme,  followed  oIniousK'  It\'  Tim  l^^reeinan's  "The  Man  with  tlu' 
Purple  Arm".  This  was  a  clexer  adajitation  of  the  movie  story  to 
Williamstown,  changing  .Machine  to  Latrine  (Fred  Miley),  creat- 
ing Ozzic,  the  bartender  ( E.  |.  Johnson)  and  King  CJal,  the  Fixer 
played  hv  Tim. 

Last  on  the  program  prior  to  the  Finale  was  the  song  "Paris" 
by  Gy  Bullock  |)erh)rmed  by  Don  Brown.  Excellent  writing  abilitv 
plus  fine  voice  e<)uals  best  of  the  e\ening. 

Many  others  including  Dean  Lamson  gave  their  time  toward 
this  production,  but  lack  of  space  prevents  publishing  their  names. 
Most  importantly,  this  show  has  emphasized  the  availability  of 
the  A.  M.  T.,  and  has  been  a  first.  I  hope  there  are  many  more.

THE  TRUE  AND  TYPICAL  CASE  OF 
CHATSWORTH  OSCEOLA 

The  .school  year  draws  to  an  end,  and  everybody  is 
wondering  about  the  future  -  everybody,  that  is,  except  the 
engineers.  Today  there  is  not  a  single  engineer  on  a  single 
campus  who  has  not  received  a  dozen  fabulous  offer.s  from 
a  dozen  corporations. 

All  thi.s,  of  course,  you  know.  But  do  you  know  ju.st  how 
fabulous  these  offers  are?  Do  .vou  have  any  idea  how  wildly 
the  corporations  are  competing?  Let  me  cite  for  you  the  true 
and  typical  case  of  Chat.sworth  Osceola,  a  true  and  typical 
senior. 

Chatsworth,  walking  across  the  M.I.T.  campus  one 
day  last  week,  was  hailed  by  a  man  parked  at  the  curb  in  a 
yellow  convertible  studded  with  precious  gem.stones.  "Hello," 
said  the  man.  "I  am  Darien  T.  Sigafoos  of  the  Sigafoos  Bear- 
ing and  Bushing  Company.   Do  you  like  this  car?" 

"Yeah,  hey,"  .said  Chatsworth. 

"It's  yours,"  said  Sigafoos. 

"Thanks,  hey,"  .said  Chatsworth. 

"Do  you  like  Philip  Morris?"  said  Sigafoos. 

"Of  corris!"  said  Chatsworth, 

"Here  is  a  pack,"  said  Sigafoos.  "And  a  new  pack  will  be 
delivered  to  you  at  six-hour  intervals  every  day  as  long  as 
you  shall  live." 

"Thanks,  hey,"  said  Chatsworth, 

"Does  your  wife  like  Philip  Morris?"  said  Sigafoos. 

"I'm  not  married,"  said  Chatsworth. 

"Do  you  want  to  be?"  said  Sigafoos, 

"What  American  boy  doesn't?"  said  Chatsworth. 


Sigafoos  pressed  a  button  on  the  dashboard  of  the 
convertible,  and  the  trunk  opened  up,  and  out  came  a  nubile 
maiden  with  golden  hair,  flawless  features,  a  perfect  disposi- 
tion, and  the  appendix  already  removed.  "This  is  Laurel 
Geduldig,"  said  Sigafoos.   "Would  you  like  to  marry  her?" 

"la  her  appendix  out?"  said  Chatsworth, 

"Yes,"  said  Sigafoos. 

"Okay,"  said  Chatsworth, 

"Congratulations,"  said  Sigafoos.  "And  for  the  happy 
bride,  a  pack  of  Philip  Morris  every  six  houis  for  the  rest 
of  her  life," 

"Thanks,  hey,"  said  Laurel, 

"Now  then,"  said  Sigafoos  to  Chatsworth,  "let's  get  down 
to  business.  My  company  will  .start  you  at  $45,000  a  year. 
You  will  retire  at  full  salary  upon  reaching  the  age  of  28. 
When  you  start  work,  we  will  give  you  a  three-story  house 
made  of  bullion,  complete  with  a  French  Provincial  swimming 
pool.  Vie  will  provide  sitter  service  for  all  your  children 
until  they  are  .safely  through  puberty.  We  will  guarantee  to 
keep  your  teeth  in  good  repair ;  also  the  teeth  of  your  wife 
and  children  unto  the  third  generation.  We  will  send  your 
dentist  a  pack  of  Philip  Morris  every  .six  hours  as  long  as 
he  .shall  live. . . .  Now,  son,  think  carefully  about  this  offer. 
Meanwhile,  here  is  one  thou.sand  dollars  in  small,  unmarked 
bills,  which  places  you  under  no  obligation  whatsoever." 

"It  certainly  seems  like  a  fair  offer,"  said  Chatsworth. 
But  there  i.s  something  you  .should  know.  I  am  not  an  en- 
gineer. In  fact,  I  don't  go  to  M.I.T.  I  am  a  poetry  major 
at  Harvard.   I  just  came  over  here  on  a  bird  walk." 

"Oh,"  said  Sigafoos. 

"I  guess  I  don't  get  to  keep  this  money  and  the  convertible 
and  Laurel  now,  do  I?"  said  Chatsworth. 

"Of  course  you  do,"  .said  Sigafoos.  "And  if  you'd  like  the 
job,  my  offer  still  stands."  .„     „.  ,       ,.,,

McLean,  Welles  Star  as  Purple      Varsity  Lacrosse 
Defeats  Wesleyan  by  5-1  Score 


bii  Chuck  Dunkc'l 

Saturilay,  May  5  -  Catcher  Ceorj^e  Welles'  thrt*  run  homer 
sparked  an  eighth  inning  rally  today  and  led  the  Willains  hase- 
hiill  team  to  a  5-1  Little  Three  victory  over  Wesleyan.  junior 
lifjhthander  Don  McLean  limited  the  Cardinals  to  three  hits  in 
ii  f^reat  pitchiiiH  effort,  striking  out  cifrht  and  walkinjr  only  one. 

The  afternoon's  contest  on  Weston  Field  soon  (leveloped 
into  a  hrilliaiit  pitchinfj  d\iel  hetweeii  .McLean  and  Wesleyan's 
ace  southpaw,  Norm  Wissin)^.  In  the  second  inniu)^,  singles  by 
Hob  lver.son  and  Clark  Sperry  put  a  runner  on  thiril  with  one 
(lut.  but  Williams  was  unable  to  .score.  The  Kphmen  threatened 
iijrain  in  the  filth,  when  Wissinj;  snddeidy  lost  his  control  with 
two  out  and  loaded  the  bases  on  two  walks  and  a  hit  batsman, 
hut  a  f^ood  fielding  play  bv  third  hasenian  Hrnce  Coddin  ended

niel's squad  took  a  1-0  lead. 

Williams  Rallies 

Wesleyan  held  this  lead  going 
into  the  last  of  the  eighth,  when 
I  he  Ephmen  suddenly  came  to  life. 
Dick  Sheehan  led  off  with  a  sln- 
ule  to  center  and  was  forced  at 
.second  by  Ennls.  but  Fearon  fol- 
lowed with  a  single  to  left.  Dick 
Marr  then  lined  a  single  off  sec- 
ond baseman  Bender's  glove  to 
.score  Ennls  and  move  Fearon  to 
liilrd.  Bob  Iverson  followed  with  a 
perfect  squeeze  bunt  to  score  Fea- 
ron and  give  the  Ephs  the  lead, 
with  Iverson  reaching  first  safely. 

Wissing  retired  the  next  batter 
for  the  .second  out,  but  George

which  fell  just  Inside  the  foul  line

Tops  Union,  5-2 

Frosh  Romp,  10 -3, 
Subduing  Harvard 

By   Joe  Albright 

Friday,  May  4  ~  Coach  Jim  Os- 
tendarp's  smoothly-running  La- 
crosse squad  walked  all  over 
Union's  "best  team  in  19  years" 
this  afternoon.  The  final  score 
was  5-2,  but  this  fails  to  tell  the 
full  story.  Rebounding  from  a  6-1 
trimming  by  Yale,  the  Ephmen 
out-ran,  out-fought  the  Dutch- 
men and  controlled  the  ball  well 
over  two-thirds  of  the  game. 

The  boys  from  Union  took  the 
field,  clearly  expecting  to  win,  but 
it  took  approximately  20  seconds 
to  smash  their  pretensions.  Mid 
fielder  Al  Foehl  picked  up  a  loose 
ball  right  after  the  face-off  and 
flipped  it  to  attackman  Rogers 
Southall.  Southall  broke  away 
from  the  defenseman  covering 
liim  and  hit  a  corner  of  the  nets 
for  the  first  score. 

Houseparty  Weather 

Tlie  game  was  played  in  a  driv- 
ing rain,  but  this  did  not  seem 
to  slow  up  the  Purple  onslaught. 
In  the  first  half  Williams  shut 
out  the  Dutchmen  and  got  all  five 
of  their  goals.  Besides  Southall's 
score,  Co-Captain  Bob  Spaeth  ri- 
fled in  a  pair  from  his  midfield 
spot,  and  attackman  Bill  Weaver 
pumped  in  two  more  from  his  po- 
sition "on  the  crease." 

In  the  second  half  the  Eph  at- 
tack .slowed  down.  The  passing 
was  not  as  accurate  because  the 
rain  had  tightened  the  rawhide  in 
the  sticks.  Union  struck  back  with

There  once  lived  a  crazy, 
mixed-up  old  giant.  He  lived  at 
the  top  of  a  beanstalk  and  he  got 
his  kicks  out  of  a  little  red  hen. 
Of  course,  that  wasn't  bad,  because 
that  chicken  laid  golden  eggs. 

Now  down  at  the  bottom  of 
the  stalk  Uved  our  boy,  Jackson. 
Our  boy  was  low  on  loot  and  his 
mother  . . .  man,  she  wasn't  making 
it  at  all.  The  feedbag  was  M.  T. 
So  Jackson  started  thinking  of  a 
way  to  get  loot  fast:  "How," 
said  he  to  himself,  "could  I  get 
that  frantic  chicken  away  from  that 
character  upstairs?"  He  looked 
around  the  hut  for  something  to 
trade — How  about  an  old  piano 
roU?  Mom's  bifocals? 


Uncle  Looey's  plectrum  banjo?  Wait  a 

minute!!!  In  the  cistern  was  a  six-can 

carton  of  Budweiser!  So  he  gets  the 

Bud  and  sashays  up  the  stalk.  Well, 

citizens,  there's  no  use  dragging  this 

Budweiser  bit  out:  The  giant  buys  the 

Bud,  gives  Jackson  the  hen,  mom's 

doing  great  and  so  will  you  if  you're 

up  to  date.  Get  Budweiser,  man  .  . . 

it's  the  world's  favorite  beer! 

All  cisterns . . .  and  brothems,  too,

The  day  before,  the  squad  shut  out

nents after  the  first  three  holes, 
Morgan  Coleman  came  back  to 
beat  Middlebury's  Charlie  Leon- 
ard, 3  and  2.  On  the  IBth  green 
Coleman  sank  his  eight-foot  bir- 
die putt  to  defeat  Tom  Cunning- 
ham of  Holy  Cross,  1  up,  and  to 
send  the  match  into  extra  holes

With  a  good  front  nine  Bill 
Chapman  went  on  to  defeat  Dick 
Phelan  iH.C),  2  up,  John  Keresz- 
tesy  <M.).  4  and  3,  and  Doug  Ol-

THE  WILLIAMS  RECOHD,  WEDNESDAY,  MAY  9,  1956 


Lacrosse  .  .  . 


a  pair  of  souls  of  their  own  —  but 
there  was  never  any  doubt  as  to 
the  outcome. 

Krush   Also  Win 

Taking  the  varsity  wame  yester- 
day as  an  example,  the  freshmen 
Lacrosse  team  drubbed  Harvard 
by  a  convlncinB  10-3  margin.  This 
victory  ended  a  five-year  domi- 
nation by  the  Cantabs.  Coach 
Shaw's  stickmen.  boasting  ex- 
perienced players  in  nearly  every 
position,  showed  a  good  combina- 
tion of  aggressiveness  and  stick- 
handling  skill.  Co-Captain  Jim 
Richardson  and  star  attackman 
Pit  Johnson  were  top  scorers  for 
the  Purple. 

Ostendarp  reports  that  net-ten- 
der Buster  Smith,  limping  on  ac- 
count of  a  leg  injury  in  the  Yale 
game,  was  the  individual  stand- 
out. According  to  Ostendarp, 
Smith  has  a  good  chance  to  play 
in  the  North-South  all-star  game, 
and  if  accurate  save  records  had 
been  kept  in  the  first  three  games, 
he  might  have  set  a  national  save 
record. 

The  experienced  first  defense  of 
Jim  Smith,  Joe  Perrott,  and  Tony 
Purgueson  turned  in  its  usual  solid 
job,  throttling  the  highly-touted 
Union  attackmen  before  tliey 
could  get  started.  The  all-Sopho- 
more attack  of  Dave  Andrews. 
Roger  Southall  and  Bill  Weaver 
performed  like  veterans  today  and 
indicated  that  they  can  supply  a 
really  deadly  scoring  punch,  which 
has  been  lacking  up  to  now.  The 
first  two  midfield  units  seem  to  be 
getting  better  and  better  as  the 
season  goes  on.  Bob  Spaeth  and 
Tony  Brockelman  were  the  stand- 
outs in  today's  action.  Another 
proving  ground  for  the  team  will 
be  Hanover.  N.  H.  next  Thursday,

died  the  fifth  and  paired  the  sixth 
hole  to  defeat  John  Schmitt,  4  and 
3.  Despite  his  poor  putting,  Hal- 
ligan  carded  a  77  to  capture  the 
medalist  honors.  After  being  one 
down  with  seven  holes  to  play. 
Doc  Johnson  came  back  to  win 
over  Hotchkiss'  Bruce  Gammie, 
1  up.  In  a  seesaw  battle  that  e- 
ventually  decided  the  match.  Bill 
Tuach  defeated  visitor  Bi!l  But- 
ler, 1  up,  after  20  holes.  Fourth 
man,  Sam  Davis,  coasted  to  an 
easy  5  and  4  victory  over  John 
O'Keefe  of  Hotchkiss. 

Nick  Noyes  of  Hotchkiss  birdied 
the  19th  hole  to  defeat  Rick  Mar- 
thins.  George  Logan's  putter  fail 
ed  him  as  he  bowed  to  the  Blue's 
John  Barrett,  2  and  1.  Hotchkiss 
picked  up  its  final  point  as  Baimy 
Wyckof f  parred  the  last  four  holes 
to  defeat  Fred  Webster,  1  up. 
Ephs  Stop  Trinity,  A.  I.  C. 

In  Friday's  match  dependable 
Randy  Carey  defeated  Trinity's  Al 
Briggaman,  3  and  2,  and  A.  I.  C.'s 
Skip  Pavlowseki,  4  and  3.  Morgan 
Coleman  closed  out  his  match  with 
the  Bantam's  Jim  Steinmetz  on 
the  12th  green,  7  and  6.  Two  holes 
later  he  gained  a  5  and  4  victory 
over  Flank  Beaudry.  Three  of  the 
Ephmen,  Bill  Chapman,  Pete 
French  and  John  Boyd,  remained 
undefeated  by  scoring  easy  wins 
John  Hunt,  A.  I.  C.'s  fourth  man 
prevented  an  Eph  double  shut  out 
as  he  stopped  Co-Captain  Jack 
Chapman,  2  and  1.  Chapman  beat 
Rick  Perkins,  7  and  6.  Rob  Foster 
picked  up  two  more  points  with 
his  8  and  7  victory  over  Sam  Dietz 
from  A.  I.  C.  and  his  4  and  2  vic- 
tory over  Al  Payne.

freshman  brother,  burst  into  the

not  die  with  the  passing  of  the 
Stompers.  Earlier  in  the  evening

Slackpool    Oriffinutf^    .Iambor,-r 

Tlie  Jamboree  was  originated  by 
John  Stackpool.  AD  Steward  for 
32  years  and  now  employed  in  a 
similar  capacity  in  the  Student 
Union,  to  take  the  place  of  a 
faculty  tea.  It  lasted  for  about 
four  years  before  being  discon- 
tinued. The  idea  was  picked  up 
again  after  World  War  II.  and  has 
continued   since  then. 

Geoige  Welles  heads  the  com- 
mittee on  planning  for  the  Jam- 
boree. He  is  being  assisted  by 
Dave  Sims.  Rob  Foster,  Frank 
Dengel,  Tony  Biadley  and  Bud 
Sidles. 


Tuesday,  May  B  -  In  a  com- 
bined meeting  the  College  and 
Social  Councils  both  voiced  over- 
whelming, but  inofficial,  appro- 
val of  the  principle  of  total  rush- 
ing this  evening.  The  CC  support- 
ed the  idea  unanimou.sly  in  a 
.sentiment  vote;  tlie  SC,  in  a  simi- 
lar poll,  favored  total  opportuni- 
ty with  only  two  exceptions. 

The  vote  was  taken  aftei-  both 
organizations  had  accepted,  with 
I'evisions,  the  Gould  Committee 
report  wliich  adds  meclianics  to 
tlie  Gargoyle  proposal  for  total 
opportunity.  The  report  will  be 
voted  upon  this  week  In  individual 
houses  and  will  be  presented  for 
the  final   decision   this   Monday. 

The    Proposal 

The  Gould  Report  offers  the 
following  mechanics  to  achieve  to- 
tal opportunity.  House  pi-esidents, 
after  the  ad,iournm2nt  of  the  post- 
ushini'  meeting,  shall  take  the 
nam?s  of  all  tho,se  who  have  not 
yet  received  final  bids  back  to 
their  fraternities  where  Ihe  names 
win  be  listed  in  order.  The  house 
presidents  will  then  meet  tntil 
they  have  "absoi-bed  the  remain- 
ing   rushees". 

Eight  houses  are  needed  tn  pass 
this  proposal.  The  concurring 
houses  would  take  part  in  the 
meeting,  along  with  any  others 
who  desiied  to  participate  at  the 
time. 

Tlie  house  presidents  also  agreed 
to  consider  in  their  fraternities 
this  week  a  proposal  to  alter  the 
I  mechanics  proposed  by  [he  Repp 
rushing  report.  The  idea  suggest-

Negro  Barrister  Wins 
Fight  For  Civil  Rights 


Saturday,  May  12  —  Special 
counsel  for  the  N,  A.  A,  C,  P. 
Thurgood  i  short  for  "Tliorough- 
Kood"!  Marshall,  who  will  speak 
in  Williamstown  this  Thur,sday, 
holds  a  spectacular  recoid  of  four- 
teen victoi-ies  out  of  .sixteen  cases 
argued  before  the  Supreme  Court. 

Moving  slowly  fiom  precedent 
to  pi-ecedent.  many  of  Mai'shall's 
victories  have  become  the  consti- 
tutional corneistone  for  the  Ne- 
gro's new  civil  rights.  In  1953. 
Mai-.shall  faced  the  dean  of  consti- 
tutional lawyeis,  John  W,  Davis 
'Who  had  argued  140  oa.ses  before 
the  nation's  high  courti,  over  the 
crucial  issue  of  segregation  in 
public  schools.  Tlie  following  May. 
Chief  Justice  Earl  Warren  handed 
down  a  unanimous  decision  —  in 
Maishall's  favor. 

"In  the  last  fifteen  years." 
claims  the  New  Yorker,  "Marshall 
has  attained  the  stature  of  a  se- 
mi-legendary folk  hero  among  his 
people.  At  the  same  time,  he  has 
earned  the  deepest  respect  of  so- 
phisticated Jurists  and  students  of 
the  law." 

Hbi  Life 

Bom  47  years  ago  In  Baltimore, 
Marshall  attended  a  segregated 
public  ,school.  His  father  —  a 
country-club  .steward  —  uiged 
him  to  go  Into  law,  .so  Marshall 
worked  his  way  through  predomi- 
nately Negro  Lincoln  Univeislty 
in  Penn.sylvania  (.segiegation  kept 
him  out  of  Maryland  higher  edu- 
cation) as  a  grocery  clerk,  a  baker, 
and  a  dining  car  waiter. 

In  1930,  Marshall  entered  How- 1

aid  University  law  school  where 
he  was  first  in  his  class,  and  In 
1933  he  was  admitted  to  the  Mary- 
land bar.  After  five  years  of  pri-- 
vate  practice,  he  became  counsel 
for  the  N.  A.  A.  C.  P. 

"Few  living  individuals."  says 
the  New  Yorker,  "have  had  a 
greater  effect  than  Marshall  on 
the  social  fabric  of  America.  Not 
a  scholarly  or  academic  lawyer 
himself,  he  has  been  given  credit 
for  assembling  a  scholarly,  pains- 
taking staff,  and  for  knowing  how 
to  use  their  research  and  Ideas 
creatively."

Monday.  May  7  -  Paul  Samuel- 
son,  professor  of  Economics  at 
MIT.  deliglited  an  overflow  crowd 
in  Griffin  Hall's  lecture  room  to- 
night when  he  spoke  on  the  Eco- 
nomic analysis  from  1952  to  the 
pi'esent  day.  Samuelson  told  his 
"mortal  enemies"  the  undergrads, 
who  stick  pins  in  his  effigy  every 
January  and  June,  that  he  was 
not  responsible  for  the  topic  and 
probably  wouldn't  follow  any  topic 
presented  him. 

Samuelson  began  his  analysis 
with  the  steel  strike  of  1952  and 
traced  the  economic  trend  to  the 
pre.sent  day.  Every  industry  took  a 
dip  in  July  of  '52.  but  after  the 
steel  shortage  came  to  an  end. 
most  industries  began  to  rise  and 
even  the  stock  market  heard  about 
it  in  October  and  went  up. 

Big  Question 

"Tlie  big  question  was  would 
pro.sperity  last?"  The  country  gave 
Eisenhower  and  the  Republicans 
the  mandate  to  continue  prosperi- 
ty and  to  lower  taxes  and  ever 
since  the  end  of  the  steel  stoppage 
in  July  '52  the  economy  has  risen. 

When  the  Index  of  physical  pro- 
duction dipped  .six  billion  doUais 
by  the  third  quarter  of  1953  many 
senators  sci'eamed  "bloody  murder 
at  the  decline,  saying  depression." 

The  mild  recession  occuiTed  In 
'53  because  of  various  reasons.  In- 
ventories went  down  toward  the 
end  of  '53,  and  the  ending  of  the 
Korean  War  caused  government 
expenditures  to  decline. 

In  '64  inventories  stopped  de- 
clining and  the  economy  began 
to  impiove.  For  the  last  six 
months,  stated  Samuelson,  the 
economy  has  been  marking  time 
and  the  Index  has  remained  at 
142,

Newhall  Announces  Retirement; 
Well  Known  History  Professor 
To  Teach  Two  Years  at  Colby 


Saturday,  May  12  —  This  June, 
History  Professor  Richard  New- 
hall,  one  of  the  most  beloved  and 
admired  members  of  the  faculty, 
reaches  Williams'  compulsory  re- 
tirement age.  The  whole  Williams 
community  will  feel  a  profound 
loss  when  he  leaves.  He  has  an- 
nounced that  he  will  go  to  Colby 
College  in  Waterbury.  Maine,  to 
continue  his  teaching  for  two  more 
years. 

Piof.  Newhall  came  to  Wllhams 
in  the  Spring  of  1924.  after  having 
taught  at  both  Harvard  and  Yale. 
Since  then  he  has  taught  almost 
evei'y  course  in  history  offered  at 
Williams.  His  speciality  is  the  100 
Years  War  and  he  has  written 
several  books  on  this  subject. 

During  the  last  war,  in  his  capa- 
city as  Chairman  of  the  Faculty, 
he  governed  and  administered 
Williams  College  in  the  absence 
of  President  Baxter,  In  addition 
to  this  work,  he  served  the  United 
States  government  in  an  advisory 
capacity.  He  was  both  a  consul- 
tant in  the  Historical  Section  of 
the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  and 
Chairman  of  the  advisory  Com- 
mittee of  the  Historical  Division 
of  the  U.  S.  Forces. 

College  Rules 

When  asked  what  he  considered 
to  be  the  gieatest  change  In  the 
Williams  undergraduate  In  the 
last  thirty-two  years.  Mr.  Newhall 
gave  the  following  answers.  When 
he  first  came  to  Williams  in  the 
Spring  of  1924.  he  accompanied 
Dr.  Garfield,  the  then  President 
of  Williams,  to  chapel  one  mor- 
ning. At  that  time  chapel  was 
compulsory  at  7:45  every  morning. 
When   the   service  was  over,  Dr. 


Professor  Richard  Newhall 

Garfield  apologized  to  Prof.  New- 
hall because  some  of  the  students 
were  not  wearing  ties  to  the  cha- 
pel service. 

Now.  Prof.  Newhall  pointed  out. 
no  one  even  thinks  of  apologizing 
after  seeing  students  take  their 
shoes  off  and  put  their  feet  on  the 
tables  In  the  reading  rooms  In  the 
llbraiy. 

Another  great  change  in  the 
Williams  undei-graduate  life  has 
been  in  the  sphere  of  alcoholic 
consumption.  In  the  20's  there 
was  a  strict  law  of  the  college  for- 
bidding liquor  in  any  building  on 
campus.  Today  students  not  only 
give  cocktail  parties  for  the  facul- 
ty, but  If  there  is  a  conflict  with 
faculty  commitments  the  Dean's 
office  rearranges  the  hours  of  the

Court  Gallery  Offers 
45  French  Paintings 

Features  Millet,  Lautrec, 
Five  Porcelain  Groups 


Saturday,  May  12  —  Art  lovers 
all  over  the  east  have  been  ex- 
tremely well  rewarded  since  the 
opening  Tuesday  of  the  Coui't  gal- 
lery of  the  Steiling  and  Francine 
Clark  Art  Institute  here  in  Wil- 
liamstown. Forty-five  examples  of 
excellent  nineteenth  century 
French  painting  are  being  exhi- 
bited, ranging  chronologically 
f:om  Millet  to  Toulouse-Lautrec, 
as  well  as  many  Degas  bronzes  of 
horses,  four  showcases  full  of  the 
finest  eighteenth  century  porce- 
lain groups,  and  a  silver-gill  cen- 
terpiece made  in  England  at  the 
time  of  George  III, 

The  gallery,  the  second  in  the 
museum  to  be  opened,  has  received 
considerable  praise  and  attention 
from  art  critics  and  enthusiasts 
everywhere.  TIME  MAGAZINE  on 
May  7  devotes  a  page  and  a  half 
to  tlie  opening.  Although  the  arti- 
cle refrains  from  careful  criticism, 
it  recognizes  that  the  Clarks,  who 
built  the  huge  .$3,000,000  Vermont 
marble  structure  hei'e  in  Williams- 
town to  avoid  bombing  raids,  have 
always  "insisted  on  quality". 

Williamstown  Critics 

Williamstown,  too,  has  had 
many  art  experts  heap  words  of 
great  praise  upon  the  new  open- 
ing. Professor  S.  Lane  Falson. 
Chairman  of  tlie  Ait  Depaumeiil. 
has  said  that  "There  are  not  many 
museums  which  can  rival  this  dis- 
play, and  a  great  many  larger 
than  the  Clark  Institute  cannot 
begin  to  match  it".  Professor 
Whitney  Stoddard,  also  of  the  Art 
Department,  had  similar  words  of 
prai,se  when  he  said  last  week; 
"With  the  opening  of  the  Court 
this  Tuesday  the  citizens  of  Bei'k- 
shire  County  will  have  a  visual 
treat  which  is  equalled  in  only  a 
few  museums   in  this  country". 

The  new  gallery,  which  is  open 
free  of  chai-ge  every  day  from 
10:00  to  5:00  except  Monday,  is 
the  biggest  of  all  in  the  museum 
and  as  elaborately  practical  as  the 
others.  54  by  76  feet  and  with 
an  18  feet  high  gla.ss  ceiling,  the 
gallery  is  equipped  with  photo- 
electric cells  which  automatically 
adjust  louvers  if  the  sun  becomes 
too  bright.  The  works  of  art  are 
never  under  too  much  glare  or 
darkness  as  a  result.  As  in  the 
other  rooms,  the  new  Court  is  also

are  pertinent  to  the  rushing  ques- 
tion. T.  Price  Zimmerman  will 
speak  first  on  the  Independent  or 
non-Fraternity  side  of  college  life. 
Dave  Loomis  will  speak  next  on 
the  Frateinity  side  to  give  an  even 
balance  to  both  possibilities.  Don 
O'Brien  will  then  dlscu.ss  total  op- 
portunity, an  important  element 
in  the  whole  question,  and  Bob 
Bethune  will  end  the  discussion  on

Shades  of  1894 


Duiiiif;  the  past  tew  montli.s  vaiious  essentials  of  eollej^e  life 
have  been  under  attaek,  sometimes  from  the  outside  and  all  loi. 
fre(|uently  from  the  inside.  An  outstanding  example  of  tins  is  tiie 
aetion  taken  by  some  southern  universities  in  establishing  eeiisor- 
ship  boards  to  regulate  student  newspapers. 

One  may  reeall  that  when  Senator  Eastland  launehed  liis 
smear  eampaign  against  the  New  York  Times  die  news])apers  ol 
the  eoimtry  ridlied  to  the  support  of  the  Times  with  vigor  aiul 
without  hesitation.  Unfortimately,  eollege  newsixipers  liave  not 
come  to  the  aid  of  their  colleges  in  the  South.  Lliis  lack  of  de- 
fense becomes  all  the  more  unfortunate  when  one  realizes  to  what 
a  great  extent  the  southern  educators  ha\e  deserted  the  ideals  of 
academic  freetlom. 

Florida  State  University,  the  University  of  Maryland,  die  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia  and  the  University  of  Te.xas  ha\'e  all  imposed 
censorship  on  tlieir  student  newspapers.  Perhaps  the  case  of  the 
University  of  Texas  is  the  most  serious  \iolatioii  of  the  freedom  of 
the  ])ress. 

The  Ddili/  Texan  is  under  fire  from  the  now  dying  Shivers  ad- 
ministration as  well  as  the  powerful  gas  and  oil  interests.  It  ap- 
pears that  the  Daihi  Texan  was  one  of  the  few  (lapers  in  the  state 
that  was  willing  to  ]M)int  out  the  .scandals  of  the  Shi\ers  regime.  As 
a  result,  the  Board  of  Hegents  (appointed  bv  Shivers)  announced 
its  intention  to  su])ervise  the  student  newspaper.  The  reason  lies 
in  the  charge  that  the  editors  of  the  paper  are  too  liberal  in  their 
views.  For  example  they  opposed  Go\ernor  Allan  Shivers  (since 
thoroughly  trounced  by  Senator  Lyndon  Johnson,  in  a  struggle 
for  control  of  the  state  Democrats)  and  the  llarris-Fulbright  na- 
tinal  gas  bill.  They  also  faxored  higher  academic  standaiils,  rec- 
ommended that  the  gas  and  oil  inti'rests  pay  higher  taxes  and  ad- 
vocated a  moderate  ajiproach  to  the  problem  of  integration  as 
opposed  to  die  pro-segregation  views  of  Shivers. 

The  Board  of  Regents  called  the  Daily  Texan  a  "mouthiiiece", 
presumably  for  the  Texas  liberals  and  concluded  that  tlii'  jiajier 
should  not  deal  with  national  or  state  issues. 

After  censorship  was  established,  the  editors  of  the  Texan 
presented  for  approval  two  editorials  criticising  censorship  of  the 
press  and  upholding  the  right  of  any  ])a|X'r  to  discuss  controversial 
issues.  Along  with  this  tliev  submitted  a  copv  of  an  editorial  writ- 
ten b^'  the  Neir  York  Tnt}rv  ;itf;u*'-MicT  tlip  f lqiTi>;-Fnlliri'(rl)t  lijll  ujifl 
a  few  paragrajihs  taken  from  the  writings  of  Thomas  lefferson 
presented  in  the  form  of  a  personal  column.  .iMI  of  this  was  re- 
jected. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  state  of  Texas  receives  a  large 
portion  of  its  taxes  from  the  oil  and  gas  interests,  there  is  no  reason 
why  a  university,  the  citadel  of  academic  freedom,  should  have  to 
be  subjected  to  the  whims  of  the  selfish.  The  colleges  and  univer- 
sities of  .America  are  very  much  dependent  on  the  financial  con- 
tiibiitions  of  government,  alimini  and  industrv.  The  holders  of  the 
purse  strings  often  have  die  jjower  to  infringe  on  the  academic 
freedom  of  the  institutions  diev  help  sujiport.  It  is  part  of  the  mis- 
sion of  our  colleges,  howe\er,  to  maintain  independence  of 
thought.  At  Williams  fortunatelv  our  benefactors  do  not  infringe 
upon  this  indeijendence.  The  success  of  academic  freedom  in  the 
future  to  a  great  extent  depends  on  the  abilitv  of  American  col- 
leges to  follow  the  example  of  colleges  that  manage  to  separate 
finances  and  iiolitics  from  the  jirinciples  of  free  thought.

WMS  Wins  Trustee  Approval  For  Plan 

To  Add  New  FM  Transmitting  Facilities 

Satnrdav,  .May  12  -  Charlie  (iihson  '.'57,  president  of  WMS, 
announced  that  the  Trustees  haM'  agreed  to  pmehase  the  nec- 
essary e(|nipment  for  an  educational  FM  station  on  eanipns  as 
soon  as  the  hoard  can  decide  on  a  suitable  site  Un  the  antenna. 
The  trustee  decision  was  made  at  tlieir  spring  nieeling  held  last 
weekeml. 

Several  antenna  sites  are  now  under  eonsideralion,  Ciibson 
reported.  Since  FM  operation  depends  upon  line-ol-sight  trans- 
mission, all  possible  antenna  sites  will  he  checked  to  iusiue  that 
the  greatest  possible  munber  of  Williamstown  and  North  ,\dains 


lie  greatest  ))ossu)le  m 
isidi'iits  can  be  ser\i'c 


Ocloher  ()/)cin')ig 
October  1  has  been  set  as  the  teiitati\i-  date  for  the  o|)ening 
of  die  FM  station  -  from  1-12  p.  m.  After  deciditig  the  location 
of  die  antenna,  e(|uipment  will  he  purchased,  a  license  will  be  ob- 
iained,  and  the  installation  and  the  tests  will  be  carried  out.  The 
present  radio  station  will  be  modified  so  diat  simultaneous  broad- 
casts can  be  carried  over  both  systi'iiis. 

Gibson  explained  that  the  FM  station,  licensed  as  educational, 
will  carrv  no  commercials.  It  will  feature  classical  and  po|inlar 
music,  campus  lectures,  away  football  games,  and  all  home  loot- 
liall,  basketball,  baseball,  and  hockey  games.  Plans  also  call  lor 
three  1.5-niinute  news  programs  as  well  as  four  or  fi\e  short  news 
summaries  during  the  day. 

Rebroadeasts  Planned 
The  jiossihility  of  instituting  a  program  of  extensive  rebroad- 
castiag  is  now  also  under  ccmsideration.  This  would  include  ta])e 
recordings  of  concerts  in  Chapin  Hall,  .some  of  the  aeti\ities  in 
the  .'VMT,  and  a  svsteni  of  exchanging  tapes  widi  other  colleges, 
to  present  outstanding  events  and  offerings  of  other  campuses. 

WMS  officials  believe  that  the  station  will  be  of  considerable 
value  to  the  Willianistown  communitv,  keeping  it  inlormed  about 
de\elopi'  nts  at  the  (College,  and  some  town  activities  luav  be

Pace  Purple  Team 


Thursday.  May  10  -  The  varsity 
Lacro.sse  team  took  on  Dartmouth 
this  afternoon  and  came  out  on 
the  short  end  of  a  9-5  .scoie.  In 
the  first  two  periods  the  Ephmen 
had  the  visiting  Indians  on  the 
ropes,  and  walked  off  the  field  at 
half-time  with  a  3-2  lead.  But 
the  roof  fell  in  on  Coach  Osten- 
darp's  men  in  the  third  period, 
when  the  visitors  netted  six  quick 
goals. 

Williams  was  two  goals  down  in 
the  .second  period,  when  Bill  Wea- 
ver broke  into  the  scoring  column 
with  an  una.ssisted  shot  which  hit 
the  upper  left  corner  of  the  nets. 
Midfielder  Tony  Brockelman  fol- 
lowed with  two  goals  at  the  end 
of  the  period:  one  on  a  quickstick 
with  an  assist  from  Dave  Andrew 
and  the  other  on  a  tricky  under- 
handed shot  from  the  restraining 
line.  Dave  Andrew  and  Bill  Wea- 
ver added  two  more  score.s  near 
the  mid-way  mark  in  the  second 
half,  but  by  that  time,  the  Indians 
had  racked  up  a  four  goal  lead. 

Penalties 

As  in  the  past,  the  biggest  buga- 
boo for  the  home  team  was  penal- 
ties. In  the  disastrous  third  quar- 
ter, seven  Ephs  had  to  sit  out  on 
account  of  violations.  Nearly  all 
the  Dartmouth  .scores  came  on 
screen  plays  wlien  Williams  was 
a  man  or  two  short. 

The  frosh  team  remained  unde- 
feated as  they  smashed  Mt.  Her- 
mon  yesterday  by  a  9-3  score.  Pit 
JohrLson.  all-Maryland  at  attack 
last  year,  led  the  Ephs  in  scoring.

Young  ad  man

and  rocket  engine 

advertising 


The  first  jet  engine  ever  to  power  an  Ameri- 
can plane  was  huilt  by  General  Electric  in 
19 12.  Since  1948,  (J.E.  has  supplied  the  Air 
Force  with  over  30,000  of  its  famous  J17 
jet  engines.  And  General  Electric's  jet  ex- 
perience soon  will  he  paying  additional  new 
dividends  to  national  defense.  Its  J79  — 
called  the  most  advanced  engine  of  its  type 
in  the  world— will  soon  enter  production. 

The  man  responsible  for  reporting  G.E.'s 
jet  and  rocket  engine  ))rogress  to  its  cus- 
ioniei's  and  the  public  is  Roy  O.  Strattoii,  Jr., 
27-year-old  account  supervisor  in  the  Com- 
pany's Apparatus  Advertising  and  Sales 
Promotion  Department. 

Stratton's  Work  Important,  Interesting 

Stratton  supervises  the  planning  and  prepa- 
ration of  direct-mail  promotion,  brochures, 
films  and  presentations,  as  well  as  public- 
informational  space  advertisements  for  Time, 
U.S.  News  &  World  Report,  Business  Week, 
Avi/ilion  Week,  and  other  magazines. 

Gonsidpr.nble  personal  contact  with  the 
Armed  Services  makes  Stratton's  job  an  in- 
teresting one.  Last  year  he  traveled  over 
60.000  miles,  visiting  many  of  the  country's 
Air  Foice  bases  to  gather  necessary  infor- 
mation and  pictures. 

25,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 

When  Stratton  came  to  General  Electric  in 
19.S2,  he  already  knew  the  kind  of  work  he 
wanted  lo  do.  Like  each  of  our  25,000  col- 
lege graduates,  he  is  being  given  the  chance 
to  grow  and  realize  his  full  potential.  For 
General  Electric  has  long  believed  this:  when 
fresh  young  minds  are  given  the  freedom  to 
develop,  everybody  benefits— the  individual, 
the  Company,  and  the  country.

Changes  in   Students 

The  most  obvious  curriculum 
change,  which  Prof.  Newhall  was 
instrumental  in  bringing  about 
was  the  elimination  of  the  Latin 
requirement.  Latin  was  obligatory 
in  the  Freshman  year.  But  in  order 
to  take  Latin  at  Williams,  one  had 
to  have  admission  credit  of  four 
years  of  high  school  Latin.  This 
greatly  limited  the  number  of  ad- 
missible students. 

When  asked  about  the  caliber 
of  the  student  body  today,  in  com- 
parison with  what  they  were,  he 
gave  two  answers.  "The  best  stu- 
dents ai'e  no  better  than  those  be- 
fore, but  there  are  more  of  them," 
was  his  f  ii'st  answer.  Then  lie  add- 
ed that  once  he  had  asked  a  stu- 
dent, "Do  you  believe  in  social- 
ism?" The  student  quickly  an- 
swered, "Oh  no,  sir,"  To  which 
Prof.  Newhall  asked,  "Do  you 
known  what  socialism  Is?"  And 
the  student  batted  an  eye  and  an- 
swered softly,  "No,  sir."

Famous  Painters 

But  the  paintings  themselves  are 
so  excellent  generally  in  quality  as 
to  render  the  room  unnoticeable. 
Represented  are  ten  Corots,  and 
between  two  and  four  works  by 
such  famous  artists  as  Millet, 
Troyton,  Degas,  Courbet,  Manet. 
Monet,  Sisley,  Boudin,  Pissarro, 
and  Toulouse-Lautrec,  Together 
these  paintings  alone  ai'e  estima- 
ted as  worth  around  three  quarters 
of  a  million  dollars,  and  as  Faison 
said,  "comprise  a  selection  in 
depth  of  the  richest  single  field 
of  painting  in  the  institute's  vast 
and  varied  collections".

Building    Troubles 

Construction  worK  has  beDii 
hampered  not  only  by  foul  weather 
condition.'-',  but  also  by  sevei'al 
unique  building  problems.  First, 
the  stiucturp  was  built  on  a  ledge, 
and  extensive  blasting  was  re- 
quirfd  before  the  forndation  could 
be  laid.  Tlien,  during  the  dynamite 
work,  a  bubbling  spring  was  un- 
covered, and  it  was  the  source  of 
recurring  difficulty  until  finally 
sealed  up. 

Tlie  addition  has  roughly  tlie 
same  architectural  appearance  as 
the  main  building,  although  its 
foundation  is  naturally  made  of 
concrete  instead  of  limestone.  Bad 
weather  conditions  have  slowed 
progress  considerably,  especially 
bricklaying  operations,  but  con- 
struction is  now  only  about  three 
weeks  behind  ,schedule,  and  con- 
tinued .good  weather  should  allow 
completion  by  the  June  30  target 
date.

Well-Known  Biologist 

Dr.  Cole  i.s  on.,  of  llu"  inosl  dls- 

!iiiKUi.shed  profe.s.sors  on  the  Wil- 

liums  Faculty.  Gaining  renown  all 

civer  the  counli-y  for  liLs  work  in 

many   Biological    fields,   Dr.    Cole 

lius  had  many  of  the  more  emi- 

iii.nt    bioloKi.sLs    in    New    Enwland 

ivoikinK  under  him  at  .some  time, 

ritlH'r  here  at  Williams  or  at  the 

liiimnis  Marine  Biological  Lab  in 

Woods     Hole,     Ma,s.s.,     where     he 

tiiuKlit  for  10  summers. 
His   lo.ss   will   be    ke..nly   felt   in 

the  Biology  department  here,  for 

Dr.   Cole,    an   extremely    ver.salile 

man,      has      conducted      several 

(■ours,.s   in   many  different  fields. 

He  is  considered  an  expert  in  all 

of  them. 

"Mho's  Who" 
His     record     of      lionors     and 

acliievements  is  certainly  too  long 

lo  be  fully  covered  here.  Probably 

Uif  one  he  treasures  most  was  be- 

ins!  included  in   "Who's  Who'    in 

1952.    Naturally,    he    is    also    in 

"American  Men  of  Science".  Re- 
cently,  he   hius   been   quite  active 

in  Hie  Ford  Foundation's  Advanc- 
ed Placement  Program,  his  duties 

taking  him  to  visit  colleges  all 
over  the  country. 

This     summer.     Dr.     Cole     will 
.serve  as  chairman  of  an  important 

Teachers  Conference  here,  spon- 
.sored  jointly  by  the  College  En- 
1  ranee  Examination  Board  and 
Williams,  and  concerning  this  ad- 
vanced placement  program.  In  ad- 
dition, he  is  a  member  of  Gamma 
Alpha  Graduate  Society,  the  Bi- 
ological Stain  Commission,  the 
American  Society  of  ZoologisUs 
and  the  American  As.sociation  of 
Anatomists. 

First  Love 
One  of  the  first  loves  of  his 
life  is  his  alma  mater,  Middlebury 
College.  Some  of  the  fondest  re- 
collections of  his  youth  stem  from 
his  days  at  the  beautiful  Vermont 
school.  "When  I  was  in  high 
.school,"  he  mu-sed,  "I  wanted  to 
be  a  newspaper  man.  Then,  at 
Middlebury.  I  found  Biology  was 
my  field."  One  of  his  most  cher- 
ished possessions  is  his  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  Key  from  Middlebury,  cur- 
rently at  the  repair  .shop  for  the 
.second  lime  in  41  years.  "I 
wouldn't  give  that  up  for  any- 
thing," Dr.  Cole  remarked  with  a 
smile. 

He  Is  also  quite  proud  of  the 
fad  that  his  three  children,  two 
boys  and  a  girl,  all  went  lo  Mid- 
dlebury without  any  insistence  on 
his  part.  Smiling,  he  added, 
"They  did  it  on  their  own— well, 
almost,  anyway  . . ."  His  love  for 
the  college  was  rewarded  in  1939, 
when  he  was  elected  Alumni  Trus- 
tee. In  1944,  he  became  a  Term 
Trustee  and,  in  1949.  he  was  ele-  , 
vated  lo  the  post  of  Life  Trustee  grimages

Saturday.  May  12  -  "We  are  de- 
finitely going  ahead  with  plans  to 
bi'ing  a  foreign  student  over  here 
next  year,"  Wedge  Owen,  Presi- 
dent of  the  WCC.  .said  this  week. 
Owen  professed  gratitude  lo  Uie 
student  body  who  contributed  over 
$500  for  this  purpose  in  the  recent 
Haystack  Memorial  Scholarship 
fund  raising  campaign. 

He  said  that  the  results  were 
"indeed  heartwarming"  and  he  ex- 
pressed the  appreciation  of  the 
College  Chapel  to  all  who  helped 
out  in  any  way.  A  series  of  meet- 
ings is  currently  under  way  to 
select  the  foreign  student  who  will 
receive  the  grant  next  year. 

Tilts  scholarship  fund,  which 
will  bring  a  foreign  student  to 
Williams  for  a  year  after  which 
he  will  return  lo  his  homeland  for 
missionary  work,  is  the  students' 
role  ill  the  150th  anniversary  cele- 
bration of  the  Haystack  Monu- 
ment and  the  founding  of  the 
American  missionary  movement. 
Extensive  festivities  are  planned

Saturday,  May  12  -  It  was  an- 
nounced this  week  that  the  late 
Karl  E.  Weston,  professor  emeri- 
tus of  art  at  Williams  College,  had 
made  bequests  from  his  estate  to- 
taling more  than  $120,000.  Pro- 
fessor Weston's  will  provides  for 
tlie  establishment  of  a  $30,000 
Edith  Weston  Andrews  Scholar- 
.ship  Fund  tor  Williams  art  ma- 
jors. This  fund  constitutes  'the 
largest  single  bequest. 

In  disposing  of  the  trust  fund 
■set  up  by  his  late  wife,  Ruth  S. 
Weston,  Prof.  Weston  willed  that 
"lie-third  of  the  fund  .should  be 
iM.d  to  create  a  Ruth  Sabin  Wes- 
icin  Art  Fund.  This  fund  will  be 
used  either  for  buying  new  pieces 
fill'  the  Lawrence  Art  Mu.seum,  or 
loi'  building  an  addition  to  the 
iruseum.  Weston  was  founder  and 
original   director  of  the  miseum. 

Many  Heirs 

After  the  specific  bequests,  all 
tax  free,  the  residuary  estate  was 
left  lo  the  president  and  trustees 
of  Williams.  Stephen  McNicol, 
assistant  to  the  directors  of  the 
Lawrence  Art  Museum,  was  left 
$10,000  for  his  "devoted  service" 
to  the  art  department.  Another

In  what  the  officials  consiclcred  the  best  finals  of  the  19  year  old

Pitts,  1  up,  on  the  19th  hole  to  become  the  1956  New  England 
Collej^iate  champion. 

Coleman  always  came  throiifih  in  the  clutch  to  beat  Pitts, 
one  of  Massachusetts'  best  golfers,  a  reinstated  amateur.  A  boom- 
i'lfi  driver  backed  u|}  by  a  h.it  jiutter  gave  the  Eph  the  luatch  as

Coleman  pitched  within  si.\  feet  of  the  pin  on  the  third  hole 
and  sank  his  jjutt  to  take  the  lead,  Pitts  evened  the  match  .m  the 
sixth  hole  with  a  1.5-foot  birdie  putt  and  forged  ahead  on  tli.. 
next  hole  with  a  par.  The  match  was  again  e\('n  after  the  eighth 
hole  as  Coleman  smashed  a  280-yard  dri\e,  i^itched  up  and  drop- 
ped a  ten-foot  birdie  ]iutt.

Mr.  Pollikoff  then  took  the  spot- 
light, and  with  the  accompani- 
ment of  the  orchestra  he  played 
Max  Bruch's  "Violin  Concerto ". 
His  reputation  as  a  violinist  who 
has  appeared  with  several  major 
symphony  orchestras  was  clearly 
upheld  to  all  those  present  as  he 
swept  through  the  strains  of  one 
of  the  mast  famous,  melodic  and 
lyric  of  all  19th  Century  violin 
concertos. 

With  the  completion  of  this 
concert  the  orchestra  now  has 
completed  its  lltli  season  of  suc- 
cessful appearances  to  Williams- 
town audiences.  For  the  last  five 
of  those  years  much  of  the  credit 
for  their  fine  work  is  due  to  their 
conductor,  Mr.  Irwin  Shainman. 
who  is  as.sistant  professor  of  mu- 
sic at  Williams  College  in  addi- 
tion to  his  work  with  the  Berk- 
shire Symphony. 


Monday,  May  14  -  Three  fra- 
ternities— Delta  Phi,  Theta  Delt, 
and  Zeta  Psi — announced  in  this 
evening's  combined  CC-SC  meet- 
ing that  they  had  passed  the  Gar- 
goyle proposal  for  total  oppor- 
tunity. The  other  twelve  houses 
defeated  the  plan  which  called  for 
the  absorption  after  rushing  of  all 
unbid  rushees  by  concurring 
houses.  Eight  houses  were  needed 
to  set  the  plan  in  operation. 

As  a  compromise  the  houses 
voted  to  consider  the  original  re- 
port of  the  Gould  Committee 
which  advocates  that  concurring 
houses  do  "everything  in  their 
power"  to  absorb  remaining  rush- 
ees. It  was  hoped  that  this  plan 
would  foster  the  spirit  of  total 
opportunity  without  violating  the 
principle  of  selectivity  which,  in 
many  houses,  accounted  for  the 
defeat  of  the  Gargoyle  plan. 

Frosh   Orientation 

Also  in  the  meeting,  the  College 
Council  announced  that  the  next 
orientation  session  for  freshmen 
on  the  subject  of  fraternities  will 
be  held  in  the  frosh  lounge  of  the 
Student  Union  next  Monday  even- 
ing. At  that  time  members  of 
Gargoyle  will  deal  'with  the  me- 
chanics of  the  rushing  system. 

Another  result  of  the  combined 
meeting  was  the  defeat  of  a  pro- 
posal to  double  the  number  of  pref 
periods  during  rushing  next  fall. 
Had  this  plan  been  accepted,  each 
house  would  have  had  two  prefer- 
ential periods  with  equal  lengths, 
status,  etc.,  thus  doubling  the 
number  of  rushees  present  during 
the  final  phase  of  rushing.  It  was 
felt  that,  while  the  plan  would 
give  houses  more  leeway  in  their 
commitments,  the  chances  of  dii'ty 
rushing  would  be  increased.

Cap  and  Bells  Concludes  Season 
With  Presentation  of  'Antigone' 


Mathews  Acts  in  Lead, 
Playfair  Directs  Play, 
Banks  Writes  Score 


Wednesday.  May  16  -  Conclud- 
ing a  highly  successful  dramatic 
season,  the  Cap  and  Bells  players 
will  present  Jean  Anouilh's  mo- 
dern version  of  "Antigone"  on  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre  stage 
this  weekend.  Tlie  play  will  open 
tomorrow  evening.  May  17,  and 
end  the  season  with  Piiday  and 
Saturday  night  performances. 

The  production  offers  many  at- 
tractions to  the  average  theatre 
goer  which  have  not  been  present 
previously.  The  most  enchanting 
of  these  is  a  newcomer  to  the 
AMT,  Miss  Amanda  Fox.  You  may 
have  noticed  her  working  as  a  li- 
brarian during  the  school  year,  but 
her  real  talents  as  a  fine  actress 
are  only  now  being  unveiled  to 
Williamstown  audiences. 

Savacool  Version 

Another  source  of  unusual  In- 
terest is  the  script  itself.  It  has 
been  translated  from  Anouilh's 
original  French  by  one  of  our 
best-loved  faculty  members,  Mr. 
John  Savacool,  and  has  been  giv- 
en only  once  before.  Another 
highlight  of  this  production  is  the 
use  of  a  complete  musical  score 
composed  by  a  student  of  the  col- 
lege, Ridgway  Banks  '58.  His  com- 
position includes  special  arrange- 
ments for  harp  and  flute  which 
add  another  modern  touch  to  the 
show. 

Heading  the  cast  is  Senior  Bob 
Mathews,  former  President  of  Cap

— -JSCharles  H.  Hall  '15,  Alumni  Sec- 
retary, reports  that  approximately 
600  alumni  and  their  families  are 
once   more  expected  to  liven  the 
local  scene  when  the  Cla.«s  of  1956 
makes    its   scholastic    valediction. 
From    the    arrival    on    Thursday, 
June  7,  of  the  more  eager  old  grad 
flag    wavers    until    the    climactic 
commencement  exercises,   Sunday 
at  2:30  p.m.,  the  Williams  campus 
will  be  the  scene  of  spirited  back- 
slapping  and  Senior  farewells. 


Clan    of    Three    Segments 

Returning  alumni  as  usual  will 
be  composed  of  three  major  fac- 
tions. The  1956  reunion  classes 
planning  to  hold  conventions  are 
those  of  '06,  '11,  '16,  '21,  '26,  '31, 
36,  '41,  '46,  '51,  and  '55.  Special 
plans  envelop  the  "Old  Guard", 
composed  of  members  of  all  classes 
graduated  for  fifty  years  or  more 
and  their  wives  and  relatives  who 
are  invited  to  attend  Commence- 
ment as  guests  of  the  College.  The 
Faculty  House  provides  meals  and 
general  strategy  headquarters  for 
the  old  timers.  Lastly,  the  third 
contingent,  the  so-called  Class  of 
1793  meeting  at  the  Alumni  House 
consists  of  all  alumni  whose  class- 
es are  not  holding  regularly  sche- 
duled   reunions. 

During  this  weekend  as  has  been 
customary,  trophies  are  presented 
to  classes  for  attendance  merits. 
The  Reunion  Ti'ophy,  donated  by 
1888  will  be  awarded  to  the  year 
with  a  minimum  of  five  present 
having  the  highest  percentage  of 
living  members  back  for  the  fes- 
tivities. The  Attendance  Ti'ophy, 
courtesy  of  the  Class  of  1914,  giv- 
en to  the  class  having  greatest 
mass  of  men  present  will  likewise 
be  bestowed  at  Commencement 
exercises  on  Sunday. 

For  the  benefit  of  the  reappear- 
ing old  soldiers  still  interested  in 
the  finer  points  of  college  life, 
various  exhibitions  are  available 
for  inspection.  The  Lawrence  Art 
Museum  will  have  on  display  in 
the  Cluett  Room,  recent  important 
gifts,  in  the  main  exhibition  gal- 
lery, paintings  by  John  Sisley  '31, 
and  in  the  Octagon  antiques  be- 
queathed by  Katherine  F.  Bryer 
White,  late  wife  of  W.  Leroy 
White  '06.  In  Chapin  Library, 
"The  Haystack's  Soil"  an  exhibi- 
tion of  17th  and  18th  century 
pamphlets  and  books  on  the  work 
of  early  missionaries  to  the  Ameri- 
can Indians  will  be  shown. 

A  skeleton  sketch  of  planned 
events  for  the  big  three  days  of 
June  8,  9  and  10  has  been  worked 
out  by  the  Alumni  office  and 
Commencement  Committee  com- 
prised of  Fred  H,  Stocking,  Chair- 
man, Hem-y  N.  Flynt,  Jr..  Secre- 
tary, Robert  R.  R.  Brooks,  Wil- 
liam G.  Cole,  and  Charles  A.

Saluiday,  May  12  -  Under  the 
auspices  of  the  Student  Union 
Committee  and  in  co-operation 
with  the  Lawrence  Art  Museum,  a 
student  art  exhibition  has  been 
placed  in  the  meeting  rooms  of 
Baxter  Hall.  This  exhibition  will 
be  on  display  for  the  rest  of  the 
year. 

The  Lawrence  Art  Museum  has 
donated  twenty-five  dollars  in 
prize  money  to  be  awarded  for  the 
best  paintings.  The  works  will  be

Amherst  Beats  Williams 


30 


Editors'  Note:  The  joUowing  editorial  appeared  in  the  April 
ou  edition  of  the  MANCHESTER  UNION.  The  editor  of  New 
Hantpsliire's  most  icideli/  read  paper  is  that  renowned,  self  ap- 
pointed 'guardian  of  Ameriean  patriotism,  William  Loeh.  The 
RECORD  mast  confess  that  Mr.  Loch  is  a  Williams  alumnus. 

In  the  "Ivy  League"  aiiioufr  the  smaller  collef^es,  the  William.s 
\'s.  Amherst  annual  football  game  has  been  the  main  athletic  event 
of  the  season. 

In  the  academic  world,  Williams  has  long  been  noted  for  sev- 
eral professors  whose  names  appear  with  regimented  regularity  on 
the  letterheads  of  Communist  front  organizations.  Amherst  appa- 
rency has  been  jealous  about  this  eminence  of  Williams,  so  has 
decided  to  outdo  its  old  rival  by  hiring  Henry  Steele  Commager  to 
professor  of  history  and  American  studies.  Yon  can't  say  that  these 
Amherst  men  are  not  original  in  their  ajiproach  to  this  rivalry  with 
Williams.  Commager  is  about  as  unique  a  man  to  teach  American 
hi.itoni  as  we  can  think  of. 

For  instance,  on  Dec.  15,  1955,  the  Christmas  Amnesty  Peti- 
tion was  signed  by  46  Americans,  asking  pardon  for  the  imprisoned 
Communist  party  leaders  convicted  under  the  Smith  act.  The  peti- 
tion requested  that  the  sentences  of  16  men  and  women  now  im- 
jjrisoned  be  conunuted  to  time  already  served,  and  that  110  cases 
described  as  now  awaiting  trial  or  outcome  of  appeals  be  post- 
poned. Numbered  among  the  signers  was  Henri/  Steele  Comimigcr, 
now  professor  of  American  historij  at  Amherst. 

With  that  beginning,  let's  look  into  Commager 's  record  over 
the  years.  In  April,  1946,  in  BOOK  FIND  NEWS,  Henry  Steele 
Commager  wrote  a  favorable  review  of  Schlesinger's  "The  Age  of 
Jackson."  The  California  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities 
ReiJort,  1948,  cited  BOOK  FIND  NEWS  as  a  "typical"  example 
of  a  "jiro-communist  publication." 

On  Dec.  19.  1948,  the  COMMUNIST  DAILY  WORKER  rec- 
ommended "St.  Nicholas  Anthology,"  a  book  compiled  by  Henry 
S.  Commager  as  good  reading  for  parents  and  children.  On  Au- 
gust 11,  1950,  the  anti-Communist  newsletter,  COUNTERAT- 
TACK, reported  that  1,000  Americans  signed  a  petition  to  Presi- 
dent Truman  asking  him  to  pardon  Carl  Marzani,  who  was  sen- 
tenced to  one  to  three  years  in  prison  for  making  false  statements 
about  his  membership  in  the  Communist  party  while  an  employe 
of  the  United  States  State  Department.  HENRY  STEELE  COM- 
MAGER WAS  ONE  OF  THE  SIGNERS. 

The  NEW  YORK  TIMES  on  Oct.  10.,  1951  carried  a  head- 
line, "Comm;iger  Attacks  Loyalty  Oath  Policy  as  'Fat-Headed  Pat- 
tern of  American  Life'."  The  Commager  "essay"  on  "Guilt  .  .  bv 
association"  was  written  up  in  the  DAILY  WORKER  for  Novem- 
ber 9,  1953,  and  headlined  favorably. 

Finally  we  come  to  the  good  old  Red  Dean  of  Canterbury. 
■You  will  remember  that  he  asserted  that  he  had  seen  the  "most 
damning"  evidence  of  U.  S.  germ  warfare  in  Korea.  Tliis  was  the 
same  Red  Dean  who  had  been  received  in  the  United  States  short- 
ly before.  The  communists  in  tlie  United  States  set  up  a  phony  wel- 
coming committee  to  sjjonsor  the  dean's  trip.  Among  the  members 
of  the  welcoming  committee  was  Prof.  Henrti  Steele  Commager 
then  of  Columbia  Universittj.  ' 

Most  assuredly  Amherst  has  picked  the  most  unusual  profes- 
sor of  American  History  in  the  life  of  that  collece  or  probably  any 
other  college  in  the  United  States. 


Progressive  Prep  School  Near  Billville; 
37  Female  Inhabitants  of  Co  -  Educational 
Institution;  Unable  To  Date  Sons  of  Eph 

by  Joe  Albright 

Possibly  because  the  headmistress  doesn't  allow  the  girls  to  go 
out  on  dates  with  Williams  men,  hardly  anybody  at  Williams 
would  believe  that  there  e.vists  a  co-educational,  progressive  prep 
school  within  walking  distance  of  the  campus,  called  the  Buxton 
School.  This  boarding  school,  for  37  girls  and  43  boys  of  high- 
school  age,  is  located  on  Stone  Hill,  several  hundred  yards  beyond 
the  Phi  Sig  House  on  North  Street.  Far  ieino\ed  from  the  Saint 
(Jrottelsex  type  of  prep  school,  Buxton  boasts  a  highly  jirogressive 
ciuriculum.  The  main  emphasis  is  on  the  creative  arts:  drama, 
writing,  painting,  and  music.  In  the  words  of  the  headmistress, 
Mrs.  Ellen  Sangster,  the  aim  is  to  develop  creative  spirit. 
A/((i/i  Event 

All  of  Buxton,  headmistress  included,  live  for  the  annual 
"school  trip",  a  quite  unitjue  feature  of  the  school.  This  4-day  ex- 
pedition takes  off  for  points,  exotic  and  otherwise,  such  as  Cum- 
berland County,  Tenn.,  Montreal,  Franconia,  N.  H.,  Quebec,  and 
Nantucket.  They  "go  on  the  road"  with  a  self-))roduced  ])lay,  tra- 
\'elling  by  chartered  bus  and  stopping  for  several  performances  en 
route.  The  experience  of  unloading  and  setting  up  scenery  in  a 
few  hours,  applying  makeup  in  an  often  inade(|uate  room  and  then 
acting  on  a  strange  stage  to  a  strange  audience,  has  made  these 
kids  veterans. 

Mrs.  Sangster,  who  is  also  the  director,  makes  a  point  out  of 
choosing  difficult  nlays.  In  recent  years  they  have  done  Sophocles' 
"Electia"  and  Shakesijeare's  "King  John".  Last  year  the  students 
translated  "Ri])  Van  Winkle"  into  French  to  give  performances  in 
Montreal  and  Quebec.  Their  biggest  hit  this  year  was  Tlioniton 
VVilder's  "Skin  of  Our  Teeth."  'flieir  performance  "would  have 
been  a  credit  to  any  jirofessioiial  cast  on  Broadway,"  in  the  words 
of  the  reviewer  in  the  Nantucket  Gazette.  And  this  desi^ite  the  loss 
of  some  of  their  essential  props,  i.  e.  the  "Wheel"  and  the  "Rock- 
ingchair." 

College  Prep 

Despite  the  emphasis  on  the  creative  arts,  Buxton  is  still  pri- 
marily a  college  preparatory  school.  Though  there  is  a  full  time 
faculty  of  only  eight,  the  curriculum  is  remarkably  varied.  They 
offer  six  English  courses,  seven  in  math,  foiu-  languages,  four 
courses  in  history,  and  three  iu  natural  science.  Buxton's  insistence 
on  the  three  R's  seems  to  be  paying  off,  for  more  than  75$  of  the 
students  go  to  college.  So  far,  only  one  -  Phillip  Kalker,  has  come

all  Williams  men  whona\'e  not  already  yielded  to  the  tcmpliii  .ns 
of  this  flick.  The  cast  is  admirable,  the  plot  is  realistic,  and  he

TILL  WE   MEET  AGAIN 

I  always  find  my.self  yawning  hugely  when  a  comedian, 
having  finished  his  act,  step.s  out  in  front  of  the  curtain, 
take.s  oflf  his  putty  nose,  assumes  a  sincere  stance,  and  de- 
livers an  oration  full  of  tender  and  lofty  sentiments. 

So  how  come  I'm  doing  precisely  the  same  thing  right  now? 

Two  reasons.  First,  because  I  couldn't  possibly  make  you 
laugh  at  this  time  of  the  year;  cramming  for  finals  has  left 
you  wan,  woebegone,  and  in  no  mood  for  innocent  merriment. 

Second,  because  this  is  the  last  column  of  the  current 
series,  and  I'd  be  a  liar  if  I  didn't  admit  1  wa.s  just  a  tmy 
bit  choked  up. 

It  was  two  years  ago  that  the  makers  of  Philip  Morris 
a.sked  me  to  write  this  column.  My  first  impulse,  frankly, 
was  to  say  no.  Though  I  am  a  man  who  likes  a  dollar  as  well 
aa  the  next  fellow,  my  talents  just  do  not  seem  to  lead  me 
in  the  direction  of  writing  advertising  copy.  When  called 
upon  to  rhapsodize  about  soap  or  sox  or  cigarettes,  I  get  to 
giggling  uncontrollably  and  have  to  be  helped  home. 

"Buddies,"  .said  I  to  the  makers  of  Philip  Morris,  "I  .smoke 
Philip  Morris  myself,  and  I  think  it's  a  jim-dandy  cigarette. 
But  that's  all  I  think  it  is  —  a  cigarette.  Not  a  g.aven  image. 
Not  a  love  object,  .lust  a  smoke.  I'm  afraid  I  can't  get  rev- 
erent enough  to  write  ad  copy  for  you." 

To  my  astonishment,  they  .seemed  delignted.  "Reverence 
is  not  required,"  said  the  people  at  Philip  Morris.  They  as- 
sured me  that  I  would  not  be  required  to  write  fulsome  com- 
mercials —  that  I  could  rib  the  cigarette  and  the  company  all 
I  liked  — that  my  columns  would  be  mine  alone,  with  no 
editing,  no  suggestions,  and  no  supervision. 

"Hah!"  I  said  by  way  of  reply. 

But  they  kept  insisting  and  finally,  my  thin  breast  full  of 
misgivings,  I  went  to  work. 

For  the  first  few  weeks  they  were  scrupulously  true  to 
their  words.  Not  one  syllable,  not  one  comma,  was  ever 
changed ;  not  one  quarter-ounce  of  pressure  was  ever  exerted. 
But  my  doubts  were  not  laid  to  rest.  "When  will  the  honey- 
moon be  over?"   I  kept  asking  myself. 


■■•••  ^e  honeymoon  HUillQom  On 


The  answer,  gentle  readers,  is  that  the  honeymoon  is 
still  going  on.  This  fini.shes  my  second  year  for  Philip  Morris. 
During  that  time,  though  I'm  sure  my  copy  caused  an  occa- 
sional conniption  fit  in  the  boardroom,  my  eartf.  blanche  has 
remained  aa  blanche  as  the  day  it  was  issued.  Whatever  I've 
perpetrated  in  this  column  has  been,  aa  they  guaranteed, 
mine  alone. 

They've  been  living  dolls,  the  makers  of  Philip  Morris, 
and  I  think  I  may  be  forgiven  for  getting  a  trifle  misty.  And 
as  long  as  the  stops  are  out,  let  me  say  that  it's  also  been  a 
big  charge  writing  for  you,  the  college  population  of  America. 
Your  response  has  warmed  my  old  heart,  and  on  the  occasions 
when  I've  visited  your  campu.sea,  it's  been  deeply  gratifying 
to  .see  that  you're  .still  as  pleasantly  disorganized  aa  ever. 
I  figure  that  as  long  as  the  likes  of  you  exist,  I'm  in  business. 

So,  for  now,  goodbye.  Stay  well.  Stay  happy.  Stay  loose.

the  crest  of  a  two  goal  rally,  and 

were   starling    to   play   in   game-

Eph  Defense  Weakens 

Then  the  home  team's  defense, 
which  had  stayed  with  New 
Hampshire  all  through  the  game, 
suddenly  fell  apart.  It  repeatedly 
allowed  the  UNH  attackmen  to 
come  around  the  cage  and  pass  off 
to  the  unguarded  creaseman.  The 
last  four  goals  were  pumped  in  at 
point-blank  range. 


The  five  Williams  goals  were 
scored  by  Tony  Brockleman,  who 
scored  a  pair  of  beautiful  quick-

strokes  over  second  place  Hoston  College.  Handy  Carey  helped 
the  team's  cause  with  a  77  while  Coleman  netted  a  79.  Jack

Better  approaches  and  a  steady

Rev.  Cole,  Professor  Savacool 
Give  Colloquium  in  Rathskeller , 
Speak  on  Existentialist  Movement 

Thiiistlay,  May  10  —  "Existentialism,  Hi'lij^ious  and  Atheis- 
tic" was  the  sul)ject  of  a  c<)ll()c(iiiiiin  in  tlie  Lower  Lounge  ol  Hax- 
ter  Hall  tonii;ht,  which  featured  Hexereiid  W'ilhani  (;ole  and  Pro- 
fessor |ohii  Savacool.  Sponsored  1)V  the  Stndent  I'nion  (Committee, 
the  colloquinni,  whicli  drew  a  larije  natlierinj^,  hei^an  at  7:.'5(). 

Sa\acool  in  o))eninj;  the  collocjuinni  confessed  tliat  his  inter- 
est in  the  subject  stemmed  more  from  a  hterarv  anijk'  tlum  the 
conventional  tlieological  and  pliilosophical  aspects,  hi  it  Piolessor 
Savacool  found  a  .sense  of  life  to  he  discovered  in  hteratnre  such 
as  Sartre's  widiout  "riskini^  evaporation  or  di.ssi|5ation  iniiler  in- 
tellectual therapy."  He  ex|)laiuecl  how  in  Existentiahsni  lite  l)es;ins 
not  with  the  soul  but  in  how  a  man  makes  hini.self.  Notini;  tlial 
he  would  leave  anv  involved  explanation  of  the  subject  out  of  his 
openini^  remarks,  Savacool  just  wanted  to  introduce  the  subject  bv 
e.xplaiuiuj;  that  "answers  are  found  bv  viewinu;  the  drama  around 
us  and  projectint;  ourscKes  into  that  drama." 

Taking  the  discussion  from  that  ))oint,  Reverend  Cole  went 
on  to  explain  Existentialism  itself.  Explaining  variations  in  the  def- 
inition of  Existentialism,  Reverend  Cole  explained  he  would  limit 
his  discu.ssion  to  the  definition  associated  with  the  feelings  of  |ohn 
Paul  Sartre  which  concerns  itsi'lf  with  narrow,  ]icrsonal,  ijassiou- 
ate  involvements  of  the  individual. 

E.ilahU.sh  Inner  Freedom 
Reverend  Cole  told  the  audience  how  E.xistentialism  under- 
cuts the  subjective  and  objectixe.  1  ie  explained  how  it  is  even  more 
than  a  relation  of  the  two,  but  a  state  of  awareness  of  existence, 
"an  awareness  of  the  existence  of  ourselves  and  nothing  less."  Be- 
ing nothing  that  can  be  \arified  experimentally,  it  is  opposed  to  the 
abstractions  ol  philosophy  and  anv  system  which  depersonalizes 
man,  as.serted  Cole.  "When  recognized  it  forms  a  common  basis  of 
existence,"  he  said.  Re\erend  C^ok'  told  that,  both  icligiously  and 
atheistically.  Existentialism  seeks  to  establish  the  inner  freedom  of 
man.  It  establishes  a  "willingness  to  suffer,  willingness  for  isola- 
tion, and  willingness  for  independence, '  declared  Cole.  The  last 
characteristic  common  to  religious  and  atheistic  Existentialism  was 
that  each  man  knows  reality  only  through  himself. 

Cole  continued  by  distinguishing  the  two  sides  of  Existen- 
tialism with  descriptions  of  the  views  of  Kierkegaard  and  Sartre. 
The  main  distinction  here  was  that  Kierkegaard  found  the  highi'st 
frecdonr  of  man  as  the  reconciliation  of  Cod  and  man.  Sartre  con- 
sidered this  view  a  "bondage  to  an  illusion"  explaineil  Cole,  as  lie 
described  liini  like  a  "blueprint."  It  was  explained  that  the  atheis- 
tic side  had  man  "thrown  into  existence  to  create  his  own  ]iart." 
Cole  suggested  that  the  religions  Existentialist  used  his  freedom 
to  recognize  his  own  insufficiency  and  "accept  life  on  God's  terms, 
not  his  own  terms."

Cole  .  .  . 

of  Middlebury. 

I>h,  D.  at  Harvard 

After  graduating  from  Middle- 
bury  in  1915,  he  taught  at  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  high  .school  and  Tiin- 
ity  College  there  until  1922.  He 
received  his  MA  degree  from 
Trinity  in  1918.  He  enteied  Har- 
vard in  1922,  and  was  awarded  his 
Ph.  D.  there  two  years  later. 

Among  the  highlights  of  his 
outstanding  career  here,  he  points 
to  the  summer  of  1936  when  he 
took  a  group  of  students  to  Barro 
Colorado  Island  in  Gatvin  Lake  in 
the  heart  of  the  Panama  Canal 
Zone  to  study  at  a  biological 
station  there.  "We  could  see  the 
ships  of  the  world  pass  within 
1000  feet  of  us",  he  recalLs.  The 
following  summer,  he  led  another 
expedition,  this  time  for  research 
at  the  Navajo  Indian  Reservation 
in  Arizona. 

Looking  back  over  the  years. 
Dr.  Cole,  who  is  afraid  to  try  to 
imagine  the  number  of  students 
he  has  taught  over  the  years,  re- 
marked, "They  were  certainly  a 
grand  bunch  of  guys  to  work  with. 
I  can  honestly  say  that  I've  thor- 
oughly enjoyed  my  work  here  and, 
as  a  matter  of  fact,  I  think  there's 
a  certain  satisfaction  to  be  gained 
from  the  knowledge  that  one  has 
had  some  influence  on  students. 
I  only  hope  it  was  a  good  one."

Four-Man  Panel  Studies 
A.  Whitehead's  Work, 
'Science  In  World' 


Wednesday,  May  16  -  Featuring 
the  views  of  a  philo.sopher.  an  as- 
tronomer, a  physicist  and  a  che- 
mist, the  10th  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
Panel  of  the  year  presented  an 
enlightening  di-scusslon  of  A.  N 
Whitehead's  distinguished  "Sci- 
ence in  the  Modern  World". 

Physics  Major  Brownlee  Gauld 
'56,  pointed  out  that  our  outlook 
on  the  world  in  this  era  is  domi- 
nated by  science.  Men  like  Kepler. 
Galileo  and  Newton  represent  the 
dominant  interest  of  our  age.  The 
two  basic  concepts  involved  here. 
Gauld  .said,  were  space  and  mo- 
tion, but  difficulties  arise  when 
trying    to    define    the.se    entities. 

Carl  Silverman  '56,  a  chemistry 
major,  noted  that  Whitehead 
claims  that  science  cannot  ac- 
count for  larger  areas  of  experi- 
ence and  values,  thus  the  value  of 
Whitehead  lies  in  the  fact  that 
his  concrete  concepts  are  more  in 
accord  with   eveiyday   experience. 

Astronomy  professor  T.  G.  Meh- 
lln  stressed  that  the  limitations  of 
present-day  observation  arc  in 
verifying  or  showing  as  false 
theoretical  hypotheses  and  this  is 
their  value.  Although  Wliite 
claimed  that  philosophers  are  ra- 
tionalists who  want  to  get  behind 
stubborn  facts  to  give  them  mean- 
ing, Mehlin  said  that  he  couldn't 
sec  why  anyone  had  to  go  behind 
stubborn.    Irreducible    facts. 

Gerald  Myers,  Philosophy  Pio- 

fessor,    showed    that    'Whitehead 

posed  the  problem  of  relating  our 

concepts  of  physics  to  our  experl-

and  the  linal  merall  satisfaction. 

Cliiciii^o  Trihiiiic  I'niiscs  Work 
The  most  e.\tensi\c  prais<'  is  deliwred  bv  \'ictor  P.  Hass  in 
the  .\pril  J9  Chicago  'I'riiiune  who  calls  it  an"a(hilt  and  compel- 
lini;  piece  of  work  .showiM^  a   mastery  of  materials  and   intensitx 

of  personal  involvement  not  often  q '■ ■ 

found  in  modern  novels".  "Alfred 
Slote,"  reviewer  Hass  says,  "has 
woven  a  rich  tapestry  of  charac- 
ters and  emotions."  He  thinks  the 
plot  "suspenseful".  having — "a 
liunler  and  hunted  routine  with 
explosive  possibilities — all  of  which 
are  realized." 


Friday,  May  18  -  Seven  Air

Major  Clyde  W.  Huether,  head

the  possibility  of  rain,  the  Gar- 
goyle Tap  Day  ceremony  will 
take  place  next  Wednesday, 
April  23,  immediately  after 
lunch.  The  tapping  will  take 
place,  according  to  the  Society's 
tiadltion,  in  the  Science  Quad- 
rangle. As  the  ceremony  or- 
dains, the  whole  Junior  class 
will  assemble  on  the  wooden 
fence,  and  from  their  number, 
up  to  20  men  will  be  selected  by 
the  present  senior  delegation  to 
form  next  year's  group. 

As  an  added  attraction  this 
year,  tlie  list  of  the  Sophomores 
who  have  been  selected  for  the 
new  Purple  Key  Society  will 
probably  be  announced.  Also, 
there  are  a  series  of  cups  and 
trophies  presented  to  outstand- 
ing members  of  the  various 
teams.  The  Grosvenor  Memori- 
al Cup,  for  the  Junior  who 
■'best  exemplifies  the  traditions 
of  Williams"  will  be  awarded  at 
this  time. 


Alexander  D.  Home  of  the  Berk- 
shire Eagle,  trying  to  contrast  the 
styles  of  "Lazarus  in  'Vienna  "  and 
another  recent  political  novel  in 
the  same  review,  puts  special  em- 
phasis on  Mr.  Slote's  psychoanaly- 
tic abilities  and  calls  the  problems 
and  behavior  of  the  characters 
"absorbing".  He  says,  however,  in 
contrast  to  Mr.  Hass.  that  the  sus- 
pense technique  "does  injustice  to 
an  otherwise  neat  plot  and  will 
puzzle  few  readers"  leaving  them 
"unsatisfied". 

New    Yorker 

The  New  Yorker  Magazine, 
alone  among  the  five  reviews  out, 
calls  the  plot  unconvincing  and 
the  characters  improbable.  Mr. 
Slote  remains  undaunted  at  this 
seeming  blow,  however,  calling  it 
"In  the  tradition"  of  the  New 
Yo,iker  book  review  section,  which, 
by  trying  to  call  attention  to  it- 
self Instead  of  to  the  books  in- 
volved, does  not  come  up  to  the 
standards  of  an  otherwise  fine 
magazine. 

The  remaining  two  reviews,  be- 
ing extremely  favorable,  would 
seem  to  support  Mr.  Slote's  opini- 
on. Kay  Harrington's  May  14  In- 
ternational News  Service  review

Panel   Discusses 
Total  Opportunity 

Gargoyle  Group  Outlines 
Fraternity,  Greylock  Life 


Saturday,  May  19  -  In  a  panel 
discussion  held  Monday  niglit  in 
the  Student  Union,  four  senior 
Gargoyle  members,  Dave  Loomis. 
Price  ZImmermann,  Don  O'Brien, 
and  Bob  Bethune,  outlined  the  ad- 
vantages and  disadvantages  of 
fraternity  life  as  opposed  to  in- 
dependent existence.  The  panel, 
moderated  by  Rod  Ward,  also  dis- 
cussed the  merits  and  faults  of 
total  opportunity. 

Dave  Loomis  gave  the  initial  ad- 
dress. In  which  he  defined  a  fra- 
ternity as  a  group  of  individuals 
who,  out  of  friendship,  band  to- 
gether to  form  a  body  who  enjoy 
living  together.  He  distingulslied  it 
from  regular  dorms  by  pointing 
out  that  fraternities  have  a  good 
deal  moie  unity  in  their  activities. 

Advantages  of  Fraternities 

He  listed  what  he  considered  to 
be  the  main  advantages  of  frater- 
nities. In  this  he  Included  that  fra- 
ternities are  centers  of  upper  class 
social  life,  they  give  the  individual 
a  chance  to  develop  responsibility, 
and  they  are  an  ideal  size. 

Price  ZImmermann  retaliated  by 
saying  that  the  independent  is  not 
at  a  social  disadvantage  because 
he  can  take  his  date  to  Greylock 
Hall.  He  told  the  freshmen,  "If 
you  want  to  be  drunk  and  crawl 
on  the  floor  like  the  uncivilized 
beasts  on  campus,  I  hope  you  go 
in  a  fraternity." 

Independent  Develops 
Own  Personality 

The  non-affiliate  has.  according 
to  ZImmermann,  complete  free- 
dom to  develop  his  own  personali- 
ty. He  said  that  a  person  should 
join  a  house  if  he  finds  it  neces- 
sary to  be  a  Joiner,  but  added  that

AD  Sponsors  Annual  Jamboree; 
Eph  Acts,  Town  Talent  Appear; 
Snow  Fails  to  Dismay  Audience 

1)11  Stephen  C.  Rose 

Wednesday,  Mav  Ifi  -  Cold  weather,  made  excn  more  mem- 
orable by  a  five  miiuitc  snow  flurrv.  did  little  to  dampen  the  en- 
thusiasm of  a  larp'  audience  of  students  and  townspeople  who 
coni;rei;ated  on  the  .AD  lawn  to  witness  the  eighth  amnial  Main 
Street  lamboree.  Under  the  inasterhil  guidance  of  M-C^  Whitnev 
Stoddaid  and  the  behind  the  scenes  leadersbi])  of  Geor<j;e  Welles 
'57,  the  entertainment,  which  included  both  colle<j;e  and  town 
talent,  ranged  from  the  sublime  ( S|)riui>;  Street  Stompers )  to  the 
ridiculous  ( Isicnltv  Skit)  to  the  mnscular  ( DU  Hock  Mops).

Hichardcllo,  a  twelve  year  old  accoidiaiiist  who  played  compli- 
cated arrangements  of  "Tea  for  Two"  and  "Whispering"  with  pro- 
fessional ease. 

The  Inmior  of  the  evening  was  supplied  by  a  facidty  skit 
and  the  DU  comedv  jazz  band  —  the  Hock  Mops.  Leading  the 
Mops,  complete  with  all  a]5pi()|iriate  attiie  (see  cut),  was  Fritz 
Winegarner,  who  led  rousing  versions  of  such  old  che.stniits  as 
"Hhie  Suede  Shoes".  Ken  Wilson,  Jim  Lnnd,  Biiice  Collins,  and 
Johii  \'aii  Ho\en  hacked  him  up.  Five  .staunch  faculty  meiiihers, 
"Nostradamus"  Connelly,  "Never"  Foehl,  Frankie  "Barbells" 
Thoms,  "Fiasco"  Foote,  and  "Pahn"  Oliver  replied  hilariously  fo 
the  iiKpu'ries  of  Jim  "Kosy"  Bowers  '5S,  (piizinaster  of  "19  Ques- 
tions". "Is  it  man-made'?"  "Ye.s".  "Marilyn  Monroe!" 

The  Spring  Street  Stompers  anil  Pbinney  s  Fa\'orite  Five 
were  the  two  jazz  baiuls  to  appear,  the  Stompers  for  the  last  time 
at  a  college  fmiction.  Another  final  appearance  came  from  .\ndy 
Santos  rid.  who  sang  several  songs  with  guitar,  including  his  owii 
eomixisitioii,  "Mary  l,ou'.  Also  featured  was  the  Zeta  Psi  octet, 
led  ty  Bill  Fisher  '56. 


After  describing  the  Supreme 
Court  decision  to  desegregate  pub- 
lic schools  as  one  "heralded  uni- 
formly througliout  the  world  ex- 
cept behind  the  Iron  Curtain  and 
behind  the  Cotton  Curtain,"  he 
discussed  the  pressure  groups  and 
attitudes  of  mind  which  have 
stood  in  the  way  of  implementa- 
tion of  that  decision,  and  which 
have  given  "an  aura  of  respecta- 
bility to  open  defiance  of  the  Su- 
preme Court".  Mr.  Marshall  then 
outlined  the  legal  invalidity  of 
such  defiance  and  suggested  steps 
to  be  taken  toward  the  solution  of 
the  problem. 

Conservatively  dressed  in  a  neat 
double-breasted  brown  suit,  Mr. 
Marshall  spoke  with  authority,  sel- 
dom referring  to  his  notes.  Lean- 
ing forward  with  his  elbows  on 
the  rostrum,  he  established  close 
contact  with  his  audience.  His  hu- 
mor was  bright  and  often  bitter,

after  a  recent  speaking  engage- 
ment in  Raleigh,  North  Carolina, 
the  city  announced  that  he  could 
no  longer  use  the  auditorium. 
"The    Third    Stage" 

Mr.  Marshall  emphasized  that 
desegregation  is  a  national  prob- 
lem— not  just  a  Southern  one.  Ra- 
cial barriers  are  present  in  the

Art   Museum    Shows 
Children's  Exhibition 


Local,  Italian  Youngsters 
Display  Original  Works 


Saturday,  May  19  -  Lawrence 
Art  Museum  of  Williams  College 
is  displaying  a  most  unusual  and 
delightful  exhibition  this  :non'.h. 
On  exhibit  in  the  upper  galleries 
are  paintings  by  both  the  Wil- 
liamstown  Public  School  children 
and  Italian  children. 

The  main  exhibition  room  is  de- 
voted to  paintings  by  the  Wil- 
liamstown  children  which  have 
been  given  through  the  courtesy  of 
Miss  Ann  Bradely.  Tlie  ages  of  the 
children  are  nine  to  eleven,  and 
they  are  in  the  fifth,  sixth  and 
seventh  grades.  Among  the  me- 
diums used  are  water-colors,  tem- 
pera, collage  and  crayons.  Some 
of  the  most  impressive  works  are 
a  "Tree"  by  Jane  Rust  in  water 
color  and  some  professional-like 
modernistic  designs  in  collage. 

Italian  Art 

Italian  children  from  the  ages 
of  12-14  painted  the  other  works 
presented  in  the  show,  ■which  was 
in  Willlamstown  through  the  cour- 
tesy of  the  Museum  of  Modern  Art 
in  New  '!fork.  These  paintings  are 
tempera  on  paper  or  masonite  and 
show  a  cultivated  feeling  of  art, 
expressed  with  vivid  blazes  of  col- 
or. An  interesting  aspect  of  re- 
ality in  a  painting  by  Angela  'Vo- 
lonte  of  a  dining  room  scene  Is 
the  Italian  writing  seen  on  one  of 
the  books  lying  on  the  table. 

Miss  'Volonte,  who  Is  only  14 
years  old.  is  an  exception  to  the 
rule  with  her  still-life  art.  in  that 
most  of  the  Italian  paintings  show 
animals  or  people.  The  exhibition 
will  remain  In  Lawrence  through 
May  29.

Phi  Bete  Advice 


Dear  Sir: 

As  the  spectre  of  final  e.xamiiiatioiis  raises  its  iisrly  head,  a 
"tender  concern"  for  the  welfare  of  the  Williams  nnderirradiiate 
moves  me  to  propose  some  revisions  in  traditional  concepts  ol 
study.  For  the  riijoroiis  "irrind"  tinder<4one  by  most  students  is 
not  only  deletorions  to  healtli  and  sanity,  but  in  reality  advances 
them  but  little  toward  those  A's  and  B's. 

To  be^in  with,  the  Law  of  Diminishinir  Returns  is  fully  op- 
erative in  the  rr';ilr)T  of  shirU'in<_r  Silir-e  ev.iininatioii  rpiestinil'; 
are  intrinsically  selective,  to  increase  one's  coniprelieusion  of  the 
particular  topic  he  will  discuss  in  tlie  test,  one  must,  unless  he  is 
a  s;ood  gucsscr,  increase  his  knowlcdsre  of  the  entire  course  by 
an  e(|ual  amount.  Hence,  a  tremendous  quantity  of  work  is  needed 
to  enjoy  a  modest  gain. 

Excessive  study,  furthermore,  is  really  self-defeating.  Often 
one  wishes  to  utiHze  in  an  e.vaininatiou  some  material  olitained 
in  class  or  reading  winch  he  failed  to  uotate.  If  he  has  cramped 
his  brain  with  overstudy,  however,  his  chances  of  recalling'  diis 
information  are  slight. 

From  contemplation  of  these  self-evident  truths,  I  have  been 
led  bv  a  guiding  hand,  as  it  were,  to  espouse  the  theory  of  "a  re- 
laxed mind  in  a  relaxed  body".  Provided  one  has  done  the  requi- 
site work  in  the  course  and  indulged  in  a  modest  amount  of  sal- 
utary review,  one  hour  at  the  "flicks"  l)v  relaxing  the  mind  will 
be  equivalent  to  1  and  a  half  lionrs  of  study,  and  one  hour  of  extra 
sleep  will  be  ecjuivalent  to  two  hours  of  study. 

Friends  to  whom  I  confided  these  findings  were  not  slow  to 
perceive  their  merit.  One,  after  failing  several  examinations,  was 
able  to  re]3ort  home  that  he  had  studied  120  hours!  Others  will 
now,  I  trust,  profit  similarly  froiu  these  researches,  and  in  pur- 
suing the  relaxed  mind  will  find  theiu  a  \eritable  "light  for  the 
blincl".

Studies  In  Flicks  For  Exams

Saturday,  .May  19  -  With  the  approach  of  conclusive  exam- 
inations in  a  week,  local  cinema  adherents  are  preparing  to  cling 
tenaeiouslv  to  the  oulv  instrument  of  survival  lelt  meaning  one 
thing  to  all  men,  the  all-purpo.se  flick.  Year  roniul  the  poi)ularitv

Williams  Man,  in  need  of  his  Flix. 

Suuinioned  for  a  one-night  stand  today  at  the  Walden  is  Cecil 
B.  DeMillc's  five  million  dollar  fresh  air  extra\agan/a,  "Uneon- 
(]uered".  This  American  Frontier  .Spirit  epic,  starring  Carv  High

girl  (Faulette  Codtlard)  who  is  si'uteuced  to  14  yi'ars  of  slavery 
in  the  wilds  of  North  .America,  who  is  instead  purchased  by  \'ir- 
ginia  militiaman  (hooper,  who  in  turn  is  cheated  out  ol  the  new 
property  bv  a  rogue  (Howard  da  .SiKa)  who  loses  his  pretty  \  ic- 
tini  to  ba.se  Boris  Karloff  and  his  roving  Ucdmen,  who  in  turn 
come  up  against  now  almost  frustrated  Cooper  at  the  other  cud 
of  the  cycle.  All  ends  well  but  not  before  Cooper  executes  a  cute 
escape  from  the  brink  of  Niagara  Kails.  iMiti'rtaining. 

On  the  Walden's  silver  screen  Sunday  and  Monday  flashes 
"Anything  Goes",  a  film  which  lests  |)rccarionslv  on  the  merits 
of  a  legendary  figure,  this  time  the  okl  nuister,  Bing  Crosby.  The 
Belter  is  aided  in  his  endeavors  bv  Donald  OOounor,  Mitzi  Guv-

Ephs  Face  Jeffs 
In  Lacrosse  Tilt 


Williams  Hopes  to  Break 
Amherst  Winning  Skein 


Saturday,  May  19  -  Led  by  high 
scorers  "Ick"  Foehl  and  Tony 
Brockelman,  the  Williams  College 
lacrosse  team  journeys  to  Amherst 
this  afternoon  hoping  to  tag  the 
Lord  Jeffs  with  their  first  loss  of 
the  current  season.  Taking  a  2-5 
recoid  into  the  contest,  the  Ephs 
hope  to  duplicate  the  victory  they 
achieved  over  Amherst  last  year. 

An  added  attraction  promises 
to  be  the  clash  between  Williams 
goalie  Buster  Smith,  a  po.ssible 
selection  for  the  annual  North- 
South  All-star  game,  and  Ru.ss 
Knowles,  Amherst  high  scorer  and 
honorable  mention  All-American. 

Gotoff    in    Nets 

Harry  Gotoff  will  be  in  the  nets 
for  Amherst.  Senior  Bob  Flemma, 
midficld  ace  for  Coach  Steve  Ros- 
tas'  .squad,  and  attackman  Matt 
Budd  contribute  to  the  formidable 
Amherst  lineup. 

Pacing  the  attack  for  Coach  Os- 
tendarp  will  be  Bill  Weaver,  Roger 
Southall.  and  Dave  Andrew.  Jim 
Smith,  Tony  Purgueson,  and  Joe 
Perrott  will  spark  the  defense. 
Foehl  and  both  co-captains  Bob 
Spaeth  and  Jim  Edgar  will  start  at 
midfield,  backed  up  by  Brockel- 
man, Gary  Shortlidge,  and  Al 
Marche.ssini.

Coombsmen  Meet 
Cardinals  Today 
In  Crucial  Game 


Little  Three  Deadlocked! 
In  League  Competition; 
Frosh  to  Play  Jeffs 


Saturday,  May  19  -  Tire  Wil- 
liams var.sity  baseball  team  jour- 
neys to  Middletown,  Conn.,  today 
to  oppose  Wesleyan  in  a  crucial 
Little  Three  contest.  The  Eph- 
mcn  defeated  the  Cardinals,  5-1. 
on  Weston  Field  two  weeks  ago, 
but  a  5-0  lo.ss  to  Amherst  last 
weekend  dropped  the  Purple  into 
a  three-way  tie  for  first  place  in 
the  league.  On  Tuesday,  May  22, 
the  Ephs  will  meet  Amherst  on 
Weston  Field  in  the  final  league 
game  of  the  .season. 

Coach  Boo  Coombs  plans  to 
start  righthander  Don  McLean 
against  Wesleyan  today,  while  he 
is  undecided  on  his  pitcher  for  the 
Amherst  game.  McLean  has  a 
2-1  record,  including  the  brilli- 
ant three-hit  victory  over  Wes- 
leyan, and  he  has  not  allowed  an 
earned  run  in  his  last  two  games. 
The  Cardinals'  ace  lefthander. 
Norm  Wissing,  will  probably  op- 
pose McLean,  while  Amherst 
coach  Paul  Eckley  will  probably 
pitcli  Ted  Kambour,  who  beat 
Williams  last  Saturday. 
Regular  Line-Up 

Williams  will  probably  use  their 
regular  line-up  in  these  important 
games,  with  Rick  Power  at  SB, 
Dick  Sheehan  2B,  Dick  Ennis  CF. 
Dick  Fearon  3B.  Dick  Marr  IB, 
Bob  Iverson  LF.  Clark  Sperry  RP.

Hamilton,  N.  Y.,  May  15  —  Af- 
ter subduing  Colgate,  5-2,  tihe 
Williams  Golf  Team  now  looms  as 
the  best  team  in  the  Northeast  ac- 
cording to  Coach  Dick  Baxter. 
Baxter  went  on  to  say  that  this 
year's  team  is  one  of  Williams' 
greatest. 

Co-Captain  Randy  Carey  picked 
up  his  tenth  straight  win  as  he 
edged  Jim  Davidson,  1  up.  Col- 
gate's Jim  Smith  retalliated  by 
sshooting  par  golf  to  dump  Mor- 
gan Coleman,  5  and  4.  After  being 
two  under  par  after  eight  holes. 
Bill  Coleman  won  a  4  and  3  victo- 
ry. 

Williams'  fourth  starter  Jack 
Chapman  carded  a  72  as  he  de- 
feated Don  Edwards,  2  and  1.  John 
Downey  handed  Pete  French  his 
first  defeat  by  scoring  a  1  up  de- 
cision. John  Boyd  birdied  the  18lh 
hole  to  even  his  match  with  Dutch 
Schermerhorn  and  went  on  to  win 
on  the  21st  green.  Rob  Foster  won 
five  of  the  first  six  holes  and  then 
sailed  to  a  4  and  3  victory.

In  winning  their  fifth  game  of 
the  year  against  three  losses,  the 
Purple  hitting  was  weak  but  very 
timely.  Of  the  five  hits,  Fearon 
collected  a  triple  and  a  single,  good 
for  two  RBI's,  while  leading  hitter 
Dick  Ennis  hit  a  pair  of  singles. 
Marr  got  the  other  Eph  hit,  a 
sharp  single  to  center  in  the  sev- 
enth inning, 

Fearon  Triples 

The  Ephs  scored  a  single  run  in 
the  first  when  Rick  Power  walked, 
went  to  second  on  a  wild  pitch, 
and  scored  when  Fearon  was  safe 
on  an  error  by  Indian  first  base- 
man Jake  Portland.  In  the  third, 
Ennis  led  off  with  a  single  to  left. 
Feaion,  swinging  late,  poled  a 
long  triple  to  right,  driving  in 
Ennis.  Marr  struck  out  and  Boh 
Iverson  hit  into  a  fielder's  choic^. 
When  Clai'k  Sperry  was  safe  on  an 
error  by  Dartmouth  third  baseman 
Harry  Otis,  Iverson  went  all  the 
way  around  to  score. 

The  final  Eph  tally  came  in  the 
fifth.  Power  grounded  out  to  third, 
but  Ennis  got  an  infield  single  and 
went  to  second  on  an  overthrow  by 
Indian  shortstop  Rip  Blatz.  Fear- 
on then  punched  a  single  into 
right  to  score  the  run.  The  lone 
Dartmouth  run  came  in  the  sixth 
on  a  triple  by  second  baseman 
Rusty  Blades  and  Otis'  sacrifice 
fly.  The  Ephs  now  return  to  Lit- 
tle Three  competition,  taking  on 
Wesleyan  away  this  Saturday  and 
Amherst  at  home  Tuesday. 


Chaffeemen   to   Face 
Cardinals,    Sabrinas 

Saturday,  May  19  —  The  WU- 
liams  College  varsity  tennis  team 
meets  the  Wesleyan  racketmen 
today  in  Middletown,  Conn.  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee  will  face  the 
Cardinals  with  his  usual  singles 
line-up  of  Wally  Jensen,  Karl 
Hirshman,  Dave  Leonard,  Tom 
Shulman,  Lou  Bortnick,  and  Bob 
Kingsbury.  In  doubles,  Chaffee  will 
start  Jensen  and  Leonard  at  first 
doubles  and  probably  Hirshman 
and  Kingsbury  in  the  second  spot. 

The  Eph  varsity  will  probably 
encounter  little  opposition  from 
their  Connecticut  Little  Tliree  ri- 
vals who  have  not  extended  any  of 
the  ma.ior  New  England  teams  to 
any  difficulty.  The  Ephmen,  who 
are  fresh  from  their  second  place 
triumph  in  the  New  England  tour- 
ney, are  heavily  rated  favorites. 
The  Williams  freshman  team  will 
also  face  Wesleyan  this  afternoon 
in  their  first  Little  Three  encoun- 
ter. 

Amherst   Match 

On  Tuesday,  May  22,  Williams 
will  play  host  to  Amherst  for 
freshman  and  varsity  matches 
that  will  most  probably  determine 
Little  Three  supremacy.  The  Sa- 
brinas are  stronger  than  they 
have  been  in  many  years  with 
sophomore  Dave  Hicks  in  the 
number  one  varsity  position.

Review  Of  Antigone 

hii  Viol.  Don  Ciffonl 
ANTKIONK:  by  Ii'nii  Aiioiiilli  in  an  Knglisli  virsioii  by  loliii 
K.  Sa\af()()l  (liii'ctcd  by  (;ili's   l'la\laii,   production   clcsijliK'il  i)y 
Leon  Mnnii'i  at  tlic  Ailanis  Memorial    Tluatrf. 

It  is  a  temptation  to  remark:  "a  very  pleasant  anil  I'xeitini^ 
evening  in  tlie  theatre"  anil  to  attempt  a  review  by  nnilerstate- 
nient  —  or  lailint;  that  —  a  re\  iew  wliieb  eataloijnes  eonipetent 
ami  excellent  performances  by  both  cast  anil  proiinetion  stall.  In 
till'  lirst  place,  the  |)roduetioii  iliil  achie\e  a  remarkable  iniitv  of 
effect  in  the  boldness  of  the  line  which  Mr.  l'la\lair  strnek  and 
in  his  handling  of  what  ap|)arentlv  was  Mr.  .\nimilli'.s  attempt  at  a 
counterpoint  between  the  formal  oM-rtones  ol  the  phu's  Soplioclean 
backjironnd  and  the  affable  colloquialism  of  a  modern  rehandlini; 
—  a  connterpoint  more  than  ably  reflected  in  Mr.  Miniier's  settini; 
which  piojected  a  snu;ijestion  of  CIreek  architectnre  into  a  modern 
black  and  white  idiom.  ** 

The  burden  of  this  colloqulaliza- 
tion  fell  initially  and  (from  the 
point  of  view  of  the  play's  struc- 
ture perhaps  too  heavily)  on  Mr. 
Schell  as  prologue  and  chorus.  But 
Mr.  Schell's  handling  of  the  Pro- 
logue was  quite  effective  coming 
as  it  did  into  a  context  already  es- 
tablished by  the  ironic  and  re- 
strained formalities  of  Mr.  Bank's 
music.  The  balance  of  the  play  as 
it  followed  this  introduction  cen- 
tered on  three  characters:  Creon, 
Antigone  and  the  First  Guard.  Mr. 
Mathews'  interpretation  of  thi' 
role  of  Creon  was  excellent  in  the 
range  and  variety  of  its  pace  and 
its  tonality;  and  in  his  interpre- 
tation he  provided  an  image  not 
only  of  Creon's  strength  as  An- 
ouilh  protrayed  it,  but  also  of  a 
Creon  who  is  the  setting  and  the 
foil  for  the  piu'posive  activity  of 
Ann  Howes'  fine  and  professional 
Antigone. 

These  two  performances,  toge- 
ther with  Mr.  Ide's  inventive 
handling  of  the  Hitchcock  collo- 
quialism of  the  first  guard,  domi- 
nated the  play  because  Anouilh 
has  chosen  to  re-form  Sophocles 
by  muting  the  parts  of  Ismene  and 
HemcBi  and  by  shifting  the  chorus 
out  of  the  action  and  into  the  po- 
sition of  gentile  and  colloquial 
commentator.  But  the  supporting 
roles,  overshadowed  as  they  were, 
were  still  exciting  and  interesting 
contributions  to  the  play's  gener- 
al effect  —  by  Miss  Pox  as  Ismene, 
Mr.  McGinnis  as  Hemon  and  Mr. 
Mattice  as  the  messenger. 

As  a  playing  version,  Mr.  Sava- 
cool's  translation  seemed  rich  in 
Interpretive  possibility.  He  has 
consistently  refused  in  his  version 
to  flatten  the  play  either  toward 
the  topical  and  colloquial  on  the 
one  hand  or  toward  the  formal 
echoes  of  the  modernized  classic 
on  the  other.  One  might  object 
that  Anouilh's  play  suffers  by 
comparison  with  Sophocles,  but  I 
am  a  little  baffled  about  how  to 
say  so  after  I  have  been  subjected 
(by  this  combination  of  talents) 
to  "a  very  pleasant  and  exciting 
evening  in  the  theatre." 


Baseball 


Weinstein  are  still  sidelined  with 
injuries  and  are  not  expected  to 
play.  Wesleyan  will  bring  a  5-2 
record  into  this  game,  including  a 
12-6  win  over  Amherst,  while  Wil- 
liams stands  5-3.  Amherst  is  rated 
one  of  the  best  teams  in  New  Eng- 
land, and  the  Jeffs  are  noted  for 
their  powerful  batting  attack. 

This  afternoon  on  Cole  Field 
the  Williams  freshmen  will  play 
Amherst  in  a  Little  Three  contest. 
Coach  Len  Watters  expects  to 
pitch  either  Tom  Piper  or  Bob 
McAlaine  against  the  Jeffs,  in  this 
battle  which  may  decide  the  lea- 
gue championship.

Thurgood  Marshall  ... 

the  plotless  toward  ilesegrei^ation  affects  the  international  status 
of  the  United  States  as  a  whole. 

The  United  States,  accordiui^  to  Mr.  Marshall,  is  enteriuH  a 
third  sta^e  of  lacial  democracy.  Alter  a  period  ol  slavery  :md, 
since  the  Civil  War,  a  century  of  the  supremacy  ol  ;4roup  over 
individual  ri^;hts,  we  aie  now  moviui;  toward  true  democracy. 
"This  country,  as  a  nation,"  he  said,  "can  no  longer  maiutain  the 
luxury  ol   prejudice." 

Since  the  Supreme  Court  decision,  the  uiition  has  uiiiile  con- 
siderable pioj^iess.  ".\ll  of  us  can  be  proud  ol  wh:it  has  already 
been  done."  Only  i'iu;ht  out  of  seventeeu  Southeni  stiitcs  have 
refused  to  iniplemeut  ile.si'j;re)^ation  in  their  schools.  With  a  majori- 
ty puttiuK  it  into  effect,  "the  heretofore  united  South  is  now  break- 
iiit;  up  .  .  .  Surely  these  eiHht  states  camiot  continue  for  lon^  to 
oppose  our  f^oyernment." 

(  )/m'/«('/<'.S 

Yet  in  spite  of  thhis  profjiess,  the  problem  is  by  uo  means 
.soheil.  The  White  (.'iti/.eus'  Councils  of  various  Southern  states 
claim  Icf^al  and  non-violent  methods,  but.  accordini;  lo  Mr.  M:ir- 
shall,  have  created  an  atmosphere  of  ilefiauee  which  h;is  iui'x  ilabK 
led  to  violence.  Mr.  Marshall  cited  the  "savai^e  and  cowardly 
pronrauis"  of  these  groups  which  h:iye  denied  Negroes  liuancial 
support  fi'om  Banks,  crop  loans,  and  have  even  rmi  them  out  ol 
business.  He  showed  how  such  programs  have  led  to  the  nuuder 
of  innocent  Ncfjro  citizens  who  have  insisted  on  their  rii^hts.  These 
groups  ha\e  obstinately  supporteil  segregation. 

"I'm  not  worried  about  the  violence  of  the  White  Citizens' 
Councils,"  said  Mr.  Marshall,  but  about  what  the  reaction  is  else- 
w!iere".  The.se  gioiips  "are  ti'yiug  to  se;itter  the  shots  .so  that  ev- 
i  rvboilv  will  be  diverted"  from  the  implementation  of  the  high 
court's  decision.  Incidents  of  violence  have  c;uised  the  .Northern 
press  to  advocate  moderation  and  more  gradual  desegiegation. 
\ffirmi'il  Mr.  M:ushall:  "It's  not  :•  ijuestion  of  whether  we  pro- 
cede  grailuallv,  but  of  whether  wi'  procede  at  ;iU ". 

No  one,  ckiimeil  Mr.  .Nhirsluill,  can  present  a  valid  argu- 
ment in  favor  of  segregation.  .Ml  possible  arguments  were  rejected 
by  the  Supreme  Court,  which,  under  the  C:oustitntion,  decides  the 
supren)i'  law  of  the  land.  Prejudice,  which  affirms  group  rights, 
is  invalidated  by  the  C:onstitiilion  vvhich  guarantees  individual 
rights. 

In  a  crowded  and  smoke-filled  H;illiskelli'r  after  his  lecture, 
Mr.  Marshall  gave  quick  and  brilli;mt  answers  to  a  barrage  ol 
questions.  "We  won't  remove  r;icial  prejudice  Irom  the  minds  lor 
a  long  time,"  he  said.  "Our  job  is  to  get  rid  of  the  laws."

Wednesday,  May  23  -  The  Gar- 
goyle Society  today  chose  eighteen 
men  from  the  class  of  1957  as 
members  of  the  sixty-third  delega- 
tion in  the  traditional  tapping 
ceremonies  lield  on  the  Lab  Cam- 
pus. Each  year,  tlie  Society  chooses 
its  members  "with  reference  to  the 
true  worth  and  spirit  which  has 
ciiaracterized  their  endeavors  on 
belialf  of  the  college".  The  mem- 
bers of  each  delegation  are  chosen 
on  the  basis  of  both  merit  and 
promise,  and  each  man  is  con- 
sidered as  an  individual  and  in  his 
relation  to  the  delegation. 

Immediately  following  tire  an- 
nual announcement  and  presen- 
tation of  the  Grosvenor  Cup  and 
the  special  athletic  awards,  the 
senior  members  of  the  Gargoyle 
Society  emerged  from  Jesup  Hall, 
led  by  President  Philip  Palmedo, 
and  strode  the  length  of  the  fence 
upon  which  the  Juniors  were  sit- 
ting. Making  an  about  face  at  the 
far  end  of  the  lab  campus,  the 
seniors  passed  in  front  of  tlie  Jun- 
iors once  again  and  formed  a  cir- 
cle in  front  of  Jesup. 

Tapping  Exercises 

Each  Gargoyle  in  turn  moved 
out  of  the  circle,  walked  the 
length  of  the  fence,  and  as  he 
retraced  his  steps,  pulled  Iris  man 
from  the  fence  and  called  his 
name.  The  new  member  was  led 
to  his  place  within  the  circle  and 
remained  there  until  the  delega- 
tion of  eighteen  had  been  cho.sen. 

Following  the  singing  of  "Tlie 
Mountains."  at  the  close  of  the 
ceremony,  the  two  delegations 
withdrew  to  Jesup  where  the  new 
members  received  their  pins  a- 
long  with  copies  of  "The  History 
of  Gargoyle". 

The    newly    selected    Gargoyles 
together   with   the  names   of   the 
men   who  tapped  them  follow  in 
the  order  that  tapping  occurred.

—  Gargoyle  Constitution  —  Art.  11. 

It  has  been  the  tradition  for  a  number  of  years  for  the  outgoing 
Gargoyle  delegation  to  take  the  ojiportunity  of  the  Tap  Day  is.sue 
of  the  RECORD  to  jiresent  a  .summary  ot  their  activitii^s  during 
the  past  year.  Altliough  not  a  secret  society.  Gargoyle  meets  in 
private  to  foster  thi^  kind  of  frank  and  non-partisan  discussion 
which  is  essential  to  its  function  on  the  Williams  campus.  Its  func- 
tion is  de))endent  on  its  devotion  to  the  "best  interests  of  Williams 
College".  It  has  been  felt  by  the  memhers  of  the  Society  that  it 
is  important  that  the  inidergraduates  of  the  college  be  aware  of 
the  aspects  of  college  life  with  which  Gargoyle  has  dealt,  and  the 
siJecific  recommendations  it  has  made  during  the  year. 

The  Cut  System 

The  prevalent  undergraduate  opinion  on  any  camjius  ])rob- 
lem  can  not  always  ser\e  as  the  basis  for  the  discussions  and  de- 
cisions of  Gargoyle.  As  an  autonomous  body  the  Society  feels  it 
should  lead  campus  opinion  in  those  tlirections  most  conducive 
to  the  betterment  of  Williams  College.  IIowe\er,  in  the  determin- 
ation of  a  system  of  attendance  regulations,  it  was  felt  that  the 
institution  of  any  plan  which  did  not  have  the  support  of  the 
student  body  would  stand  little  chance  of  effective  success.  In 
its  report  to  the  Faculty  Cut  Committee,  the  Society  outlined  a 
niunher  of  weaknesses  which  it  believed  to  be  in\'()l\ed  in  the 
jjlan  which  that  committee  had  proposed.  Tliesi'  objections  cen- 
tered around  the  unfairness  of  the  penalties  included  (in  some 
cases  loss  of  credit  for  a  course)  and  the  detrimental  effect  that 
the  system  would  ha\e  on  the  student  attitude  toward  class  at- 
tendance. The  increase  of  academic  responsibilities  was  \'iewed 
as  an  incongruous  penalty  for  a  student's  misuse  of  the  privilege 
of  regulating  his  own  attendance.  With  the  oi)inion  that  a  cut 
system  shoidd  contribute  to  the  development  of  a  matiue  attitude 
toward  academic  responsibility.  Gargoyle  included  in  its  re])ort 
an  alternative  plan.  This  jilan  (rejjrinted  in  the  RECORD)  was 
based  on  the  concept  of  unlimited  cuts  but  included  a  number  of 


cheeks  on  the  misuse  of  free  regulation.  In  the  ligiit  of  tlu^  objec- 
tions and  reconnnendations  included  in  the  Gargovli'  report,  the 
Faculty  Connuittee  redrafted  their  report  and  there  was  a  deci- 
sion to  postpone  the  institution  of  any  new  cut  system  at  the 
present  time. 


Rushing  . 


The  Junior  Advisor 


The  inadequacies  of  the  rushing  system  usetl  last  year  was 
evident  to  the  Gargoyle  Soeielv  both  in  terms  of  the  inordinate 
amount  of  dirty  rushing  and  several  other  factors.  As  it  studied 
this  problem,  the  Society  sought  to  ascertain  the  new  considera- 
tions brought  in  with  deferreil  rushing  which  rendered  the  old 
procedures  inadequate.  It  was  felt  that  the  Society  could  be  ot 
greatest  help  in  the  redefinition  of  die  rushing  iirocedures  by 
outlining  the  recpiisite  bases  for  a  system  rather  than  em|ihasi/.ing 
the  particidar  mechanics  involved.  Thus  its  recommendation  to 
the  Oillege  Council  Rushing  Connuittee  took  a  rather  general 
form  in  order  to  make  available  any  pertinent  considerations 
brought  up  in  the  course  of  its  discussion. 

Recognizing  the  increased  importance  of  the  role  of  the  Jun- 
ior Advisor  under  the  present  status  of  deferred  rushing,  the  Gar- 
goyle Society  sought  means  to  strengthen  this  critical  phase  of 
college  life.  In  its  recommendations  to  the  Junior  Advisor  Selec- 
tion (committee,  a  wider  basis  of  o])inion  for  selection  was  sug- 
gested along  with  an  intensification  of  the  indoctrination  pro- 
cedure. 

The  Purple  Key 

The  need  for  some  kind  of  student  athletic  council  at  Wil- 
liams was  most  obvious  in  the  lack  of  any  organized  group  to 
take  care  of  visiting  athletic  teams.  Along  with  this  problem  Gar- 
goyle felt  it  important  that  there  be  a  representative  student  organ- 
ization which  c(mld  work  with  the  Athletic  Department  so  that 
the  undergraduate  body  could  have  a  voice  in  tlie  determination 
of  college  athletic  policy  whenever  po.ssible.  The  organization 
could  also  consider  any  changes  in  the  athletic  scene,  such  as  the 
managerial  system,  which  in  their  estimation  would  improve 
athletics  at  \Villiams.  The  reasons  for  the  failure  of  the  old  Purple 
Key  were  analysed  and  the  criticisms  brought  to  hear  on  llie 
fornuilation  of  a  new  organization.  Gargoyle  proposed  a  new 
Purple  Key  composed  of  twelve  juniors  to  be  elected  in  the  spring 
of  their  sophomore  year  by  the  outgoing  group,  the  election  be- 
ing based  on  each  candidate's  interest  in  the  athletic  side  of  the 
college.  It  was  in  anticipation  of  an  effective  and  efficient  or- 
ganization that  the  Gargoyle  Society  sent  its  recommendation  (o 
the  College  Council.  The  members  of  the  first  Purijle  Key,  as 


chosen  by  the  College  Council  Committee,  are  announced  eKc- 
wliere  in  this  paper. 

Total  Opportunity 

The  most  recent  action  of  the  (Jargoyle  Society  was  tal  m 
in  the  form  of  a  reconunendatiou  to  the  College  Council  coup'  d 
with  a  letter  to  tin  RECORD  acKocatiug  a  procedure  to  ui 
total  opportnnity.  The  Society  felt  it  very  important  that  the  ,, 
ternities  on  the  Williams  campus  recognize  dieir  joint  ohlJir,,!  ,,1 
to  the  college.  As  comprising  the  major  poition  ol  the  s,.  ;il 
structure  of  VVilliams  the  fraleinities  are  too  important  in  term  ,,| 
the  college  as  a  whole  to  deny  aceeptauee  to  any  meinlx'i  (jI  I,,. 
college  who  would  join  in  that  aspect  of  college  life,  lii  its  ,  i,- 
sideratiou,  Gargoyle  was  cognizant  of  the  laet  that  iudivi.;  .d 
fraternities,  by  their  very  nature,  must  be  selective.  Thus  a  ^.

bid  one  rushce  left  over  after  the  operation  of  the  post  rnsl  .i; 
committee.  Although  die  proposal  based  on  this  reeoinmeiidal  .i, 
and  sent  to  die  fraternities  by  the  College  Council  and  Social  CJo  .i- 
cil  did  not  receive  ratification  by  a  sufficient  number  of  hoii  ,s, 
it  is  felt  that  the  proposal  has  not  been  without  beneficial  efh  !s 
It  is  always  an  aim  of  Gargoyle  to  |)roiiiote  student  inlercM  n 
college  matters,  and  it  feels  that  because  of  the  presentation  il 
die  total  opportunitv  recommendation  die  student  body  has  become 
more  vividly  aware  of  the  ])idbleins  at  issue  in  Hiis  ease.  In  II  is 
way  it  is  also  hoped  that  the  possibility  of  the  efb'ctive  operal,  ii 
of  the  post  rushing  committee  iie.\t  fall  has  been  enhanced. 

Following  a  precedent  set  by  the  1955  Gargoyle  delegati.m 
this  year's  Society  set  up  a  panel  discussion  with  the  Freshin.in 
Class.  The  panel  dealt  with  the  various  ramifications  of  the  li  i- 
ternity  system  which  are  of  importance  to  that  class,  and  atteinp- 
ted  to  provide  objective  answers  to  the  various  (|uestions  (hat  arcr.c 
during  the  discussion  period  following  the  panel's  |)reseiitatioii 

In  all  its  fimctionings  during  the  past  year,  this,  the  sivh- 
second  (Jargovle  delegation  has  made  every  attempt  to  be  sen.i 
tive  to  its  obligations  to  the  ideals  of  Williams  as  well  as  those  mI 
the  Society.  Likewise  in  the  choice  of  the  19.57  delegation,  ,iii 
important  factor  was  the  determination  of  a  group  which  eoiilM 
contribute  iiieaningfnllv  and  intelligenllv  to  the  college  cominiin 
itv.  It  is  felt  that  an  important  role  of  CJargovIe  is  its  reward  (4 
unselfish  and  significant  service  to  the  college.   Rut  Gargoyle  cm 

be  more  than  an  Ik rary  society  and  it  is  the  hope  ol  the  imi 

delegation  of  the  CJargovle  Society  that  in  its  own  endeavors  it 
has  been  meaningful  in  promoting  the  "best  interests  of  Williaiiiv 
College".

American    Mission 


Sunday,  June  10  -  President 
Jiime.s  P.  Baxter,  3rd,  a.sserled 
today  that  "it  Ls  liard  to  ariiuc 
Uiat  the  United  State.s  laclcs  the 
.sen,se  of  mi.ssion"  which  charac- 
terized the  five  young  misslon- 
uries  who  founded  tlie  American 
Foreign  Mi.s.sionary  Movement  one 
hundred  and  fifty  .years  ajjo  ui'.dei 
a  hH,vstaclc  in  William.stown. 

Delivering  the  baccalaureate  ad- 
dress to  233  graduating  member^ 
of  the  Class  of  1956  in  Thompson 
Memorial  Chapel,  the  Pulitzer 
Prize  winning  historian  stressed 
■'  ...  the  sense  of  mission  wliicli 
inspired  the  Haystack  group,  and 
lliose  they  influenced  to  .spread 
tlie  Oo£pel  overfieas". 

No  Imitation 

The  audience  of  1000  seniors, 
parents,  and  aiumni  heaid  Pres. 
Baxter  extol  the  self  confident, 
buoyant,  and  expansive  tone  of 
tlie  American  people  in  1806,  "not 
content  simply  to  imitate  others 
we  were  convinced  of  our  destiny 
to  lead". 

As  examples  that  "later  gene- 
rutions  of  Americans  have  not 
laclced  that  enobhng  and  ln.spirlng 
sense  of  mission,"  he  noted  the 
"burdens  we  have  carried  for  re- 
construction and  rehabilitation 
of  the  war-toni  world"  in  the  suc- 
cessful defense  of  Greece  and  Tur- 
Icey  in  1946,  the  NATO  alliance, 
and   the   Point  Four   piogram. 

Pioneer  Spirit 

Pres.  Baxter  added  that  "tlie 
pioneer  spirit  in  America  is  still 
strong",  pointing  out  that  Ameri- 
cans liave  "striven  more  boldly 
than  ever  on  the  frontiers  of  sci- 
ence". 

The  problem  of  overpopulation 
in  the  world  wa.s  also  touclied 
upon  by  tjre  college  president  who 
described  unbalanced  and  un- 
checlied  fertility  and  mass  death 
from  atomic  warfare  as  the  "Scyl- 
la  and  Charybdis  between  which 
statesmen  must  steer  tlie  modem 
world  to  safety".

Richard  A.  Newhall,  Brown  Professor  of  History,  has  com 
pleled  his  final  year  oi  teaehinn  at  Williams  C;ollene.  l'"or  thirl, 
two  years  Mr.  Newhall  has  taught  Williams'  uiiderKrailuates  li,,. 
factsi  the  theories,  and  the  ironies  ol   history.  To  students  wm, 
have  known  Mr.  Newhall  well,  the  vacuum  created  by  his  ih  p  „ 
tore  will  never  be  filled. 

Mr.  Newhall  has  at  his  fjiasji  a  vast  aceiunulation  of  Inslmi 
cal  kuowledp'.  Hut  be  is  ne\'er  satisfied  with  siinplv  nnderstandi!,a 
the  various  snbjecis  that  hi-  leaches,  lie  insists  upon  kuowiuf;  :,  ,| 
undeistandiii).;  the  uianv  .students  who  pass  thr()nj;h  his  classroi.i,,, 
Mr.  Newhall  not  onlv  knows  a  student  bv  his  name,  but  b\  !,is 
campus  activities,  hometown,  and  i)ersonal  beliels  as  well.  To  \li 
Newhall  no  fact  or  tlu)uj;lit  is  too  trite  hir  consideration;  his  I  ;i- 
inility  both  in  and  out  of  the  ilassrooui  enhances  his  success  as  m 
educator. 

Perhaps  the  greatest  service  that  .Mr.  Newhall  gives  to  iis 
students  i.s  his  insistence  on  individual  thinkini;.  He  often  ink 
upon  students  to  justify  their  |/olitieal,  eeonoinie  and  social  \  ii  , 
The  fact  that  a  particular  student  conies  from  an  upper-mid. lie 
class  family  and  li\es  in  Westfield,  New  Jeisey,  fails  to  satisfy  Mi 
Newhall.  He  does  not  aim  to  destrov  anv  personal  coinictioiis,  I  il 
he  does  attempt  to  insure  that  those  convictions  lia\'e  a  solid  hn:  , 
datioii. 

To  many  scholars  the  educational  ideal  is  to  sit  at  the  I. .  i 
of  the  masters  in  a  great  uiiiversitv.  Hut  the  chance  of  historv  Ins

OH,  FOR  THE  LIFE  OF  A  NEWSPAPERMAN! 

Look  at  the  cnmpu.s  newspaper  you  are  now  holding.  An  ordi- 
nary object,  you  think?  An  everyday  convenience?  Something 
to  be  taken  for  granted? 

Faugh,  sirs  and  madams!  Faugh.  I  say!  Don't  you  know 
what  prodigies  of  skill  and  labor  and  organization  and  art  and 
science  go  into  the  making  of  your  campus  newspaper? 

Come,  I'll  show  you.  I'll  take  you  to  a  typical  ofTice  of  a  typical 
newspaper  on  a  typical  campus. 

The  editor-let's  call  him  D.  Fermin  Bohorquez,  a  typical  enough 
name-calls  his  staff  together  first  thing  in  the  morning.  "All 
right,  you  guys,"  he  says,  lighting  a  Philip  Morri.s,  which,  natu- 
rally, is  the  favorite  cigarette  of  newspapermen,  and  of  anybody 
else  who  knows  a  hawk  from  a  liaudsaw,  'Ail  right,  you  guy.s," 
says  D.  Fermin,  "this  here  ain't  no  ladies  whist  society,  this 
here  is  a  newspaper.  So  get  out  there  and  get  the  news.  Get  it 
first,  get  it  quick,  get  it  right!  Ed,  you  cover  the  ag  campus. 
Phil,  you  cover  the  school  of  mines.  Wally,  you  cover  home  ec. 
Sam,  you  cover  buildings  and  grounds.  Ethel,  you  cover  the 
men's  gym.  ...  All  right,  get  going!" 


>0ieHt/^a/7 


...  Wid,  'ioa  Coiai/U'fm/S6r^- 


With  many  a  laugh  an<l  cheer,  the  reporters  light  up  Philip 
Morrises,  favorite  cigarette  of  the  young  and  agile,  and  dash 
away  on  their  assignments. 

D.  Fermin  retires  to  his  ofTice  to  smoke  a  Philip  Morris  ami 
write  a  fearless  editorial  scolding  the  university  for  not  buying 
patches  for  the  worn-out  elbows  of  the  chess  team. 

On  the  rim  of  the  copy  desk  three  rewrite  men -Tensing, 
Hillary,  and  I.averne-sit  poised  and  expectant,  waiting  for  the 
reporters  to  phone  in  their  stories.  They  smoke  Philip  Morris, 
favorite  cigarette  of  the  poised  and  expectant.  Tensing's  phone 
rings  first;  it  is  Ed  calling  from  the  ag  campus. 

"Stop  the  presses!"  cries  Ed.  "Got  a  scoop!  Hunrath  T. 
Sigafoos,  professor  of  curds  and  whey,  has  just  sold  his  article 
The  Romance  of  Butterfat  to  the  Drovers  and  Poulterers 
Monthly." 

On  another  phone  Sam  is  calling  from  buildings  and  grounds. 
"Tear  out  the  front  page!"  he  cries.  "Got  nn  exclusive!  Harold 
'Pop'  Wishnograd,  superintendent  of  buildings  and  grounds, 
today  announced  the  purchase  of  a  new  doormat  for  the  vestibule 
of  Burton  Hall.  The  last  doormat,  it  will  be  recalled,  was  eaten 
by  a  pledge  named  Norman  Harringay  for  his  Chi  Pai  initiation." 

Meanwhile,  elsewhere  in  the  city  room,  Ganglia  Questover. 
vivacicjus  and  ubiquitous  gossip  columnist,  sits  smoking  a 
Philip  Morris,  favorite  cigarette  of  the  vivacious  and  ubiquitous, 
and  typing  out  her  chatty,  informative  tidbits:  "Maureen 
Valgerholtz,  popular  Theta,  announced  her  engagement  last 
night  to  Webster  Scuff,  Oliver  Jenkins,  Cosmo  Erskine,  and 
Walter  Penn  Dowdy.  Wedding  dates  have  been  set  for  June  9. 
June  24,  July  5,  and  July  18  respectively.  Good  luck,  Maureen! 
.  .  .  Irving  'Behemoth'  Anselm,  popular  fullback,  blew  out  120 
feet  of  esophagus  yesterday  while  inflating  a  football.  Good  luck, 
Irving  'Behemoth'!  . . .  Robin  Kroveney,  popular  Deke  last  year, 
this  year  popular  pfc.  in  the  U.  S.  Army,  writes  friends  that  he 
has  been  convicted  of  deserting  his  post  and  will  be  executed 
on  April  28.  Good  luck,  Robin!" 

And  now,  friends,  we  take  our  reluctant  leave  of  the  drama,  the 
action,  the  tension,  the  glamor,  the  churning,  the  seething,  ihe 
roiling,  the  sturm  und  drang  of  the  wonderful  world  of  journal- 
ism. Aloha,  journalism,  aloha!  chu  shuimin.  w

cational training.  Bell  is  experimenting  with  a  new  conci'pt  in 
Mitldle  Management  education.  The  executives  are  completely  re- 
moved from  their  joh  routine  for  eight  weeks  and  |)laced  in  a  Li- 
heral  Arts  atmospher<'  designed  to  broaden  their  horizons  along 
lines  which  will  be  more  valuable  to  the  company,  and  stiuudate 
their  thinking  to  become  more  useful  citizens  in  the  connnunity. 

Ctinwultiin 

The  eight  week  session  will  be  comprised  of  si.\  courses:  His- 
tory of  the  Westward  .Mo\emcnt,  Art,  Architecture  and  Literature,

American  social  trends  in  the  2()'s  and  oO's. 

Back<!^r()iiii(l 

Previous  to  arriving  on  the  Williams  campus  where  the  execu- 
tives will  be  housed  in  Lehman  Hall  and  West  College,  they  will 
be  e.\i5ccted  to  read  Becker's  "The  Eve  of  the  American  Rexolu- 
tion",  and  Ilofstader's  "The  American  Political  Tradition"  as  a 
general  background  to  their  course  of  study.  I'ollowiug  this  and 
throughout  the  session  the  attem])t  will  be  made  to  make  the  Mid- 
dle Management  e.\ecuti\-es  aware  of  the  significant  elements  in 
American  cultural  dcvclo])ment  and  create  reading  skills  which 
will  carry  over  on  a  ]5ermanent  basis. 

During  the  final  two  days  of  the  studies,  the  classes  will  be 
led  by  a  panel  discussing  "The  Causes  and  C;onsc(|uenccs  of  Amer- 
ican Productivity '.  Here  as  elsewhere  it  is  hoped  by  Professor  Bar- 
nett, who  is  in  charge  of  the  program  at  Williams,  that  several 
outside  educators  will  acce|>t  an  imitation  to  address  the  execu- 
tives.

Williams  ROTC  to  Advance  22  Seniors 
To  Reserve  Officer  Rank  in  Air  Force; 
10  Sophomores  Take  Accelerated  Work 


Sunday,  June  10  -  The  customary  June  lull  ut  the  Williams 
CJollege  Air  Force  Reserve  Training  Corps  offices  has  been  elim- 
inated this  year.  Major  Clyde  W.  Hnetlier,  Professor  ol  Air  Sci- 
ence, is  busy  with  the  usual  commissioning  ceremonies  ol  the  sen- 
ior 1U)TC  cadets.  Hut  in  addition,  this  year.  Major  lluether  and  his 
staff  ha\e  been  charged  with  a  two-week  suinmer  training  course 
lor  ten  Williams  sophomores. 

Twenty-two  Williams  seniors  will  beeonie  reserxc  oltieers  in 
the  Air  Force  at  cominissiouing  ceremonies  this  luorniug.  I'"ilteen 
of  the  group  are  slated  lor  pilot  training  and  three  Mc  to  be  trained 
as  aerial  ()bser\'ers,  other  flying  officers  besiiles  the  pilot.  The 
other  four  men  hope  to  put  their  educational  baekgronnd  to  use 
in  technical  and  legal  fields. 

The  twenty-two  men  who  will  be  commissioned  are;  Duane  R. 
Batista,  H.  Crant  Clark,  Lewis  1..  Crosley,  Timothy  A.  Hanau, 
Fdward  H.  Hewson  Jr.,  Alexander  Irvine,  William  P.  Jenks,  Dana 
K.  Kelly,  William  P.  Latimer,  Peter  C;.  Lewis,  H.  Frederick  Li))- 
pineott  Jr.,  Charles  D.  Makepeace,  )ames  H.  Paterson,  John  F. 
Pohle,  Seymour  S.  Preston  HI,  William  B.  Pryor,  William  T.  guil- 
Icn.  Jeffrey  H.  Smythe,  Louie  A.  Stockwell,  Stoakley  W.  Swan.son, 
and  William  W.  Wilson.  Three  more  seniors,  Theodore  S.  Bowes,  J. 
Michael  Hayes,  and  James  L.  H.iyiie,  will  receive  commissions  up- 
on the  completion  of  a  four  week  suinmr  training  unit. 

The  ten  so])homores  who  are  imdergoing  a  two  week  train- 
ing ]3rogram  are  part  of  an  accelerated  ROTC  course  which  will 
enable  them  to  receive  their  commissions  at  the  end  of  1957,  the 
final  year  that  the  AFROTC  iirogram  will  be  offered  at  Williams. 
The  soi)hoinores  are  now  taking  the  first  half  of  the  junior  year 
of  the  ROTC  program.  The  groii])  has  already  carried  a  double 
load  for  one  semester  ha\iiig  taken  both  the  sophoinore  and  junior 
ROTC  courses  during  the  spring  term.  Next  year,  as  jnniors,  the 
ten  men  will  take  the  senior  course  and  complete  their  ROTC 
traiuiug. 

The  current  two-week  course  is  taking  jilace  in  a  different  at- 
mosphere than  the  usual  college  life.  The  men  train  for  six  hours 
a  day,  five  in  the  cla.ssrooni  and  one  on  the  drill  field,  hut  that 
does  not  tell  the  story.  Many  military  formalities,  such  as  daily 
room  inspections,  daily  personal  inspections,  marching  to  meals, 
marching  off  demerits,  have  been  ado])td  in  a  concentrated  form. 
It  is  (|uite  a  change  for  Williams  men  whose  normal  drill  training 
consists  of  two  hours  a  week.  Perhajis  the  biggest  change  of  all 
is  the  six  o'clock  breakfast  hour.  Six  o'clock,  that  is,  if  the  cadets 
have  been  fortunate  enough  not  to  acumulate  any  demerits.  For 
those  with  demerits  to  he  marched  off,  reveille  sounds  at  five.

Sunday,  June  10  —  Under  the 
tutelage  of  Coach  Tony  Plansky, 
the  Williams  varsity  track  team 
completed  a  rather  disappointing 
season  this  spring.  As  the  majori- 
ty of  tlie  Eph  thinclads  were  un- 
derclassmen, however,  and  as  the 
freshman  team  enjoyed  a  very 
successful  campaign,  prospects  are 
bright  for  next  year's  varsity 
squad. 

The  1956  Williams  team  scored 
two  impressive  victories  in  dual 
meets,  one  over  Middlebuiy  in 
the  sea.son's  opener  and  the  other 
at  the  expense  of  R.P.I.  The  Pan- 
thers bowed  by  a  one-sided  87-48 
score,  ius  Ephmen  Bill  Fox,  Hotz 
Ports,  and  Karl  Schoeller  all  scor- 
ed double  wins.  Sopliomore  star 
Chaiiie  Scliweiiihauser  set  a  new 
Williams  record  with  a  6'3"  leap 
in  the  liigh  jump  to  spark  his 
mates  to  a  85-41  victory  over  the 
Engineers  from  Rensselaer. 

Both  Amherst  and  Wesleyan  de- 
feated the  Planskymen,  the  Jcfi's 
by  a  lopsided  86-49  score  and  the 
Cardinals  by  a  77-58  count.  Am- 
herst defeated  Wesleyan  to  carry 
home  the  coveted  Little  Tliree 
crown.  In  the  New  Englands.  Wil- 
liams finished  sixth,  as  Schweig-

NORTH   ADAMS,   MASSACHUSETTS 


Sunday,  June  10  -  Little  Three 
Champs  and  second-place  finish- 
ers in  the  New  England  Cham- 
pionships is  the  record  compiled 
this  season  by  Coach  Clarence 
Chaffee's  varsity  tennis  team.  Led 
by  co-captain  Wally  Jensen  and 
a  trio  of  sophomores,  the  varsity 
overcame  a  late  spring  and  bad 
court  conditions  to  again  estab- 
lish lliemselves  as  one  of  the  lead- 
ing powers  in  the  East. 

Competing  against  teams  which 
had  already  had  as  much  as  a 
month's  practice,  the  tennis  team 
finished  its  spring  training  trip 
with  a  4-2  record.  Included  were 
6-3  wins  over  Navy  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Virginia  and  8-1  vic- 
tories against  William  and  Mary 
and  the  Country  Club  of  Virginia. 
Perennially  in  the  top  five  in  the 
nation,  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  powerhouse  swept  over 
the  Ephmen  8-1  although  both 
Jensen  and  Leonard,  in  the  top 
two  matches,  extended  their  op 
ponents. 

In  the  final  match  of  the  spring 
trip,  the  Ephs  bowed  to  Princeton, 
6-3.  Karl  Hir.shman.  in  the  num 
ber  two  match,  was  the  only  Eph 
singles  winner  as  he  scored  a  6-4 
6-1  victory  over  Dick  Scofield.  Sco- 
tield  gained  a  national  ranking  in 
junior  doubles  with  Bill  CuUen, 
who  last  year  led  the  Eph  netters 
to  the  New  England  Champion- 
ships and  a  number  three  ranking 
in  the  East. 

Wally  Jensen,  who  played  two 
last  season,  topped  the  Williams 
ladder  this  spring  and  I'an  up  a 
veiy  creditable  record  of  six  wins 
and  four  losses.  Almost  every  team 
in  New  England,  no  matter  how 
weak,  usually  has  at  least  one  out- 
standing player,  and  to  finish  the 
season  with  a  winning  record  at 
number  one  is  mast  difficult.  Wal- 
ly's  biggest  win  came  against  Har- 
vard when  he  downed  Dale  Junta, 
a  former  National  Junior  Hard- 
courts Singles  Champion. 

In  the  number  two,  three,  and 
four  slots,  three  sophomores  ran 
up  identical  7-3  records,  all  los- 
ing to  Yale.  North  Carolina,  and 
Harvard.  Tliough  formerly  a 
hackcourt  player.  Karl  Hirshman. 
at  two.  speeded  up  the  pace  of  his 
play  and  rushed  net  more  often 
to  romp  through  seven  opponents. 
One  of  his  three  losses  was  a  close

Stickmen  Compile 
Poor  2  -  6  Record 


Ostendarp's  Team  Tops 
Only  Harvard,  Union 


Sunday,  June  10  -  Playing  its 
first  season  under  the  tutelage 
o'  coach  Jim  Ostendarp,  the  Wil- 
liams varsity  lacrosse  team  com- 
piled a  disappointing  2-6  record. 
The  poor  mark,  however,  does  not 
fully  indicate  the  full  skill  and 
spirit  of  a  fast-growing  sport 
which  with  added  experience 
should  produce  a  fine  team  next 
year. 

The  season  opener  against  Tufts 
was  a  tough  3-2  loss  with  Bill 
Weaver  and  Tony  Brockelman 
netting  goals  in  a  losing  cause. 
The  stickmen  rebounded  April  25, 
against  Harvard  with  a  7-2  win. 
Rog  Southall  tossed  in  three  goals 
from  his  attack  position,  while 
Skip  Cole,  Weaver,  Al  Poehl,  and 
Dave  Hilliard  added  the  remain- 
ing tallies  in  an  impressive  victory. 

Bow  to  Ilofstra,  Yale 

On  April  28.  the  lacrosse  team 
met  a  tar  superior  matcli  in  Hot- 
stra.  coming  out  on  the  short  end 
of  a  17-2  score.  Foehl  opened  the 
scoring,  but  Hilary  Gans  added 
the  only  other  Williams  tally  in 
the  rout.  Tlie  stickmen  came  back 
on  May  2,  in  perhaps  their  best 
game  of  the  year,  dropping  a  6-1 
decision  to  a  Yale  team  which  had 
previously  defeated  Hofstra.  Foehl 
scored  on  an  assist  by  Dave  An- 
drew, while  Buster  Smith  made 
28  saves  in  the  nets. 

On  May  4,  Coach  Ostendarp's 
team  scored  an  impressive  5-3  win 
over  a  good  Union  eleven.  South- 
all  scored  from  face-off  to  open 
the  afternoon,  while  co-captain 
Bob  Spaeth  and  Weaver  each 
threw  in  two  goals  to  clinch  a 
well-played  contest.  The  season 
came  to  a  dismal  close,  however, 
as  the  team  failed  to  hold  up  in 
the  late  periods,  dropping  a  9-5 
decision  to  Dartmouth  after  lead- 
ing 3-2  at  the  half,  losing  a  10-5 
game  to  UNH  after  rallying  to 
within  one  goal,  and  bowing  in  a 
contest  to  n'lbeaten  Amherst  in 
the  season  finale.

by  Douglas  Bender 
Sunday,  June  10  -  The  traditional  graduation  baseball  game 
was  to  be  played  yesterday  on  Weston  Field  as  Williams  engaged 
.Springfield  for  the  third  time  this  spring.  Springfield,  last  year's 
iJistrict  1  represeiitati\  e  to  the  NCAA  world  series  in  Omaha,  got 
off  to  a  slow  start  this  year,  but  in  tlie  last  few  outings  have  dis- 
played the  type  of  baseball  tliat  won  them  lust  year's  berth.  The 
Kpliineii  ha\  e  played  consistent  ball  all  season  and  up  to  yesterday 
possessed  the  leading  record  in  Western  Mussaehusetts  with  a 
nine  and  three  inarl<.  Coaeh  Hobby  Coombs'  boys  received  a  bid 
for  the  four  team  New  England  tournaiiient  to  decide  this  year's 
entry  for  the  College  World  Series,  but  final  examinations  stood 
in  tfie  way  of  uii  acceptance.  This  team  that  Coombs  calls  "the 
best  team  1  have  had  liere  in  ele\en  years",  eoni|)iled  tlieir  first 
winning  record  on  a  southern  trip  and  copped  tlieir  first  Little 
Three  1  itle  in  several  years. 

The  s(|uad  was  very  optimistic  us  they  came  back  from  the 
South,  but  111  their  opening  game  of  the  regular  season  they  drop- 
ped a  10-7  decision  to  Colby  on  their  two-day  trip  to  Maine.  The 
ne.vt  da)'  tliey  nipped  Uowdoin,  4-3,  and  were  on  their  way  to 
iiuiiiy  impressive  wins  wliich  include  victories  over  Dartmouth, 
4-1,  and  American  Internationai,  7-1.  In  Little  Three  competition 
tliey  whipped  Wesleyan  twice,  8-1  and  5-1,  and  in  their  last  game 
tlu'v  beat  Amherst  to  achieve  a  split  for  the  season. 

The  four  man  pitching  staff  of  Coach  Coombs  have  all  played 
a  proiniiient  role  during  the  season.  The  workhorse  of  the  team 
has  been  senior  Tom  Vaiikus  with  .six  a|5pearanees  and  a  total  of 
37  innings  on  the  hill.  He  leads  the  staff  with  23  strikeouts,  and 
after  the  first  game  loss  to  Colby  has  rebounded  strongly  with 
complete  game  victories  over  Springfield,  6-3,  AlC,  and  Amherst, 
2-1.  ill  the  latter  he  bested  Amherst's  ace  lefthander  Ted  Kanibonr 
witli  a  three  hitter  and  got  a  scratch  single  to  start  off  tlie  wiiuiing 
rally  in  the  sexenth.  Don  .McLean  won  the  other  two  Little  Three 
clashes  with  victories  over  Wesleyan  while  liniittiiig  them  to  a  total 
of  se\eii  hits  in  both  games.  His  (jther  \ietory  was  over  Bowdoin 
with  a  fj-hitter.  In  34  innings  of  pitching  Don  has  given  up  lint 
three  earned  runs  for  an  average  of  0.79  |5er  game,  llis  lone  loss 
came  at  the  hands  of  .Amherst,  5-0,  as  errors  ui  the  late  innings 
handed  Amherst  their  winning  runs.  The  big  win  over  Dartmouth 
was  hurled  by  Hob  Newey  as  he  limited  tlie  Indians  to  just  six 
hits  in  going  the  route.  He  has  an  earned  run  average  of  1.48  while 
piteiiing  24  innings.  After  pitching  7  innings  of  masterful  relief 
ball  against  U.Mass  he  was  nipped,  4-3,  in  the  14tli  inning.  He  also 
sa\  ed  an  additional  game  against  Union,  in  protecting  tlie  decision 
for  Dick  Flood.  Flood  has  won  two  and  lost  none,  beating  Mid- 
dlebuiy, 6-5,  in  his  other  start,  |5itcliiiig  shutout  ball  the  last  seven 
innings  after  giving  up  early  runs. 

.Nlar\'  Weinstein  and  George  Welles  lia\'e  been  tlie  battery 
mates  for  the  ace  pitching  staff.  Due  to  an  injury  in  the  Middle- 
bury  game  Mar\'  has  been  out  of  action,  but  he  may  be  available 
for  a  starting  role  in  right  field  or  for  pinch  hitting  duty.  He  en- 
joyed a  good  spring  trip,  which  included  two  homeruns,  and  eon- 
tinned  his  good  hitting  lielore  he  twisted  his  knee.  He  was  hitting 
.364.  George  then  took  ow'r  behintl  the  plate  and  wasted  no  time  in 
getting  accustomed  to  regular  duty  as  he  cracked  out  a  terrific 
three  run  homer  down  the  leftfield  line  in  the  next  game  against 
Wesleyan  to  ])ut  the  game  on  ice. 

Hatch  Injured 
The  first  game  at  Colby  was  a  costly  one  as  the  Ejilis  lost  the 
services  of  their  captain  and  sparkplug,  Johnny  Hatch.  He  twisted 
his  knee  early  in  the  game  after  dri\  iiig  in  two  runs  with  a  single  in 
his  only  appearance  at  the  plate.  Since  the  injury  John  has  been 
out  of  action,  but  not  out  of  uniform.  Saturday  he  would  have  been 
coaching  from  the  first  base  line  or  else  cheering  tlie  team  on  from 
the  bench.  Taking  his  spot  at  shortstop  has  been  Sophomore  Kick 
Power,  a  converted  second  baseman.  He  has  been  a  sharjj  fielder 
throughout  the  season  and  is  among  the  leaders  in  runs  scored 
and  has  received  the  most  walks  with  11.  Dick  Slieelian  has  been  at 
second  and  has  come  through  with  some  timely  hits  and  a  steady 
hand  in  the  field. 

Dick  .\larr  and  third  baseman  Dick  Fearoii  fill  in  the  comers 
of  the  infield.  Marr  enjoyed  a  great  spring  trip  coining  back  to  tlie 
Bei ksliues  with  a  .400  batting  average  for  the  seven  game  southern 
trij).  His  defensive  play  has  been  remarkable,  with  many  scoops 
of  low  throws  ill  the  dirt,  and  quick  reflexes  on  solidly  hit  drives 
down  the  first  base  line.  With  the  bases  loaded  for  Dartmouth  he 
turned  a  sharp  line  drive,  that  looked  like  a  sure  hit,  into  a  double 
]ilay  to  cut  :>liort  a  budding  Indian  rally.  Fearon  is  the  team's  big 
distance  hitter,  batting  in  the  cicanuii  slot.  Dick  leads  tlie  team 
in  runs  batted  in  with  14  mates  driven  across  tlie  plate.  His  long 
ball  hitting  includes  a  double,  four  triples,  and  a  homerun,  and 
he  has  chiiiped  in  with  a  .304  batting  mark  in  46  trips  to  the  plate. 
On  two  occasions  he  has  driven  in  all  of  the  Ejih  runs  during  a 
game.  Against  the  UMass  Rednieii  he  unloaded  a  tri])le  with  the 
liases  filled  to  give  Williams  the  lead,  and  against  Union  he  slam- 
med another  tri|ile  and  added  a  sacrifice  fly  to  drive  in  three  runs. 
"Eiiiii*  The  Menace" 
III  centerfield,  Williams  has  perhaps  the  best  outfielder  in 
this  area,  in  Dick  Eniiis.  The  speedy  junior  now  leads  Western 
Massachusetts  in  hitting  with  a  lusty  .447  average  on  21  hits.  In  12 
games  thus  far  this  season,  Dick  has  hit  in  ten  and  in  eight  of 
these  has  collected  two  or  more  hits.  A  caption  over  his  ]iictnre  in 
a  recent  Siiriiigfield  pa)ier  referred  to  him  as  "Eniiis  the  Menace", 
and  that  he  is.  He  is  not  a  |iovver  hitter,  but  more  like  the  Richie 
.'Vshburn  type  of  hitter  that  slajis  at  the  ball  where  it  is  jjitched  and 
sjiravs  line  drives  over  and  through  the  infield.  Dick  is  especially 
capable  of  driving  an  outside  pitch  down  the  leftfield  line  and  his 
Sliced  can  often  times  pick  up  an  additional  base.  He  was  recently 
the  recipient  of  the  Robert  W.  lohnstoii  Memorial  Trophy,  given 
annually  to  the  most  valuable  player  at  the  Gargoyle  ceremonies. 
The  other  outfield   positions   have  been   filled  most   of  the 
time  by   leftfielder   Bob   Iverson    and   Clarke   Spcrry.    However, 
through  the  course  of  the  season  starting  roles  have  been  delegated 
to  Jim  Stevens,  Matt  Doiiner,  Dick  Lombard,  and  Bob  Ndvey. 
These  fielders  have  combined  to  save  many  a  run  with  their  de- 
fensive play  in  the  pastures.  Bob  Iverson's  great  catch  against  ,\IC 
saved  a  run,  Newey's  one-handed  stab  or  a  liner  to  left  against 
Amherst  got  Yankus  out  of  trouble,  and  S]ierry  s  throw  from  right 
choked  off  a  run  at  the  plate  in  the  I3th  inning  against  UMass. 

In  their  first  meeting  this  year  S|iriiigfield  was  topped,  6-3, 
but  the  improving  Maroons  were  out  for  revenge  both  Friday, 
before  the  graduation  fans  in  Springfield,  and  hero  yesterday. 
However,  the  Coombsmen  were  riding  high  and  did  not  want 
either  their  graduation  nor  the  final  a)ipearanccs  of  seniors  Tom 
Yankus,  Captain  Johnny  Hatch  and  Cllarke  Sperry  marred  by  a 
defeat.

Although  the  reconstruction  has 
iiintinued  beyond  the  anticipated 
(!;Ue.  Welanetz  said  he  was  well 
.Mitisfied  with  the  progress.  He 
denied  that  the  .steel  strike  in 
.'illy  was  a  factor  in  the  slow- 
i:j\vn.

will  be  moved  into  East  during  the

But  all  students  won't  be  in  their 
rooms  until  Oct.  8.  What  remains 
to  be  completed  is  painting,  plas- 
UMing.  and  tiling. 

Modern  construction  techniques, 
.such  as  prefabrication  with  pre- 
poured  concrete  slabs,  were  credit- 
ed with  saving  many  months. 
Welanetz  said.  The  board  of  trus- 
tees approved  the  reconstruction 
program  last  year  when  it  became 
apparent  that  the  interior  was  be- 
coming structurally  weak.  There- 
fore, the  whole  building  was  gut- 
led  and  rebuilt.  Only  the  outer 
walls  were  not  torn  down. 

According  to  Welanetz,  the  wait 
i.s  well  worthwhile  as  East  College 
will  be  the  most  modern  building 
on  campus.  He  explained  that  the 
layout    will    be    similar    to    West 


Scott  Ends  Canoeing 
With  Loss  of  Pants 


Saturday,  Sept.  22  -  Jim 
Scott  '58,  got  caught  with  his 
pants  down  recently,  and  the 
entire  United  States  knew  it. 
The  story  came  to  light  when  a 
September  15  Associated  Press 
wire  carried  the  .story  of  a  man 
fisliing  on  the  Potomac  River 
near   Hagerstown,   Maryland. 

The  catch  was  too  heavy  to 
be  a  fish,  but  the  fisherman 
IJUlled  it  in.  It  was  a  pair  of 
khaki  pants  with  a  billfold  in 
one  of  the  pockets.  Twenty 
dollars  in  currency  was  there, 
loo.  and  a  check  made  out  to 
James  Campbell  Scott  with 
.some  keys  and  a  life  saving 
certificate. 

Mother  Identifies  Find 

Mrs.  Parry  M.  Scott  said  the 
articles  belonged  to  Jim.  The 
A.P.  went  on  to  quote  her 
story;  "Jimmy  was  canoeing 
with  two  friends  on  the  Poto- 
mac River  the  Tuesday  after 
Labor  Day  and  he  lost  his 
pants,  '.lis  wallet  and  one  shoe 
when  the  canoe  capsized  in 
some  rapids  below  Harpers 
Perry.  W.  Va." 

Tlie  release  did  not  state  the 
sex  of  his  companions,  and 
Scott  could  not  be  reached  for 
comment.

fateful  Monday  morning  when 
classes  begin. 

The  four  day  pei-iod  of  orienta- 
tion began  with  the  dinner  and 
opening  meeting  for  the  class  in 
Baxter  Hall  Wednesday  evening. 
Welcoming  remarks  were  made  by 
faculty  and  administration  con- 
cluded by  Pre.sident  James  P. 
Baxter.  3d.  The  freshmen  were 
also  introduced  to  the  Ephlats 
and  Pliinney's  Favorite  Five. 

Orientation  Lectures 

Thur.sday  wa.s  mostly  taken  up 
by  conferences  with  Faculty  Ad- 
visors on  courses  and  other  prob- 
lems. That  afternoon  the  only 
unpleasant  part  of  "Freshman 
Days"  occurred  in  the  form  of  the 
English  Placement  Test. 

Tlie  day  ended  with  two  meet- 
ings, one  with  the  College  Council 
during  the  afternoon  and  one  in 
the  AMT  to  hear  more  orientation 
advice  from  Dean  Brooks. 

Fun  and  Mountains 

Friday  th:;  class  trudged  uut  If 
Dean  Brooks'  home  for  ho.  dogs 
and  beans  at  the  annual  Frosh-

was  followed  by  the  Dean's  intro-

Berkshires  and  a  trip  to  the  top

Houses  Pledge  23  Sophomores  In  Delayed  Rush; 
Lack  of  Manpower  Causes  Mechanical  Difficulties 


Wednesday,  Sept.  19  -  A  total 
of  two  hundred  and  thirty  seven 
sophomores  attended  pledge  ban- 
quets tonight  in  Williams'  fif- 
teen fraternity  houses,  after  one 
"f  the  most  exciting  rushes  in  the 
liistory  of  the  College,  Two  hun- 
dred and  sixty  six  sophs  started 
in  the  rush  which  began  five  days 
ago  and  continued  wide  open  un- 
til the  pledge  banquets.  Only 
twenty  eight  hove  who  entered 
rushing,  did  not  Join  a  hou.se. 

The  quota  of  pledges  for  each 
house  in  this  exceptionally  large 
class  was  eighteen,  and  ten  of 
the  houses  received  their  full  com- 
plement of  men.  These  were  Al- 
pha Delta  Phi,  Beta  Tlieta  Pi, 
Chi  P.si,  Delta  Psi,  Delta  Phi,  Del- 
la  Upsilon,  Psi  Upsilon,  Phi 
Oamma  Delta,  Theta  Delta  Chi, 
and  Kappa  Alpha.  Of  the  remain- 
ing five  houses,  only  the  Sigma 
Phi  house  received  an  extremel" 
small  number  of  pledges 

Rush    Features    Bounces 

Fourteen  sophomores  decided 
not  to  go  through  the  rushing 
period  this  fall.  Of  the  twenty 
eight  who  did  not  Join  a  house 
although  they  attended  rushing, 
fifteen  did  not  accept  final  bids, 
five  did  not  receive  final  bids  and 
eight  bounced  out  of  the  system. 
According  to  Rushing  Arbitor,  Mr. 
Prank  Thoms.  this  rush  featured 
an  extremely  large  number  of 
bounces  due  to  the  new  ru.shing 
system  which  was  devised  by  the 
Rushing  Committee  headed  by 
Dick  Repp  '57. 


The  new  system  proved  effec- 
tive in  guaranteeing  more  houses 
a  greater  number  of  pledges,  and 
up  to  the  time  of  writing,  it  seem- 
ed to  be  an  aid  in  the  prevention 
of  dirty  rushing  which  plagued 
the  campus  last  fall.  A  mechani- 
cal difficulty  was  run  into,  how- 
ever, in  the  setting  up  of  the  pre- 
ferential period  and  the  other  fi- 
nal period  rushes. 

Rush  Delayed 

Not  enough  time  was  allowed  for 
the  mechanics  of  the  system  to 
operate,  and  with  the  many 
bounces,  the  sub  pref  period  had 
to  be  eliminated,  and  the  rush 
delayed  from  Monday  night  until 
Tuesday  morning.  Fourteen  hours 
were  needed  to  set  up  the  pref 


two  hours.  During  this  period,  Mr 
Thoms  went  a  total  of  forty  one 
hours  without  rleep. 

"The  only  solution  to  the  prob- 
lem would  appear  to  be  an  in- 
crease in  the  man  hours  of  work 
either  by  extending  the  rush  a 
day  or  Increasing  the  staff  work- 
ing on  it",  declared  Mrs.  Thoms 
who  aided  her  husband  in  the 
mechanics  along  with  Mr.  Ralph 
Renzi  and  Mr.  Peter  Pelham. 

Ninety  per  cent  of  those  who 
went  through  rushing  finally 
Joined  houses.  This  percentage 
will  probably  increase  during  the 
"grace  period,"  -when  houses  who 
have  not  filled  their  quotas  may 
pick  up  unaffiliated   sophomores. 


RECORD  Offers  Timely  Hints 
For  Frosh,  Ephmen  on  Methods 
To  Obtain  Females^  Booze,  Fun 

hi/  Joe  AlhrijiJil  '.5S 

A  hn.stlinii;  crop  of  rookie  miners,  tlio  class  of  1960,  finished 
freshman  week  todav  and  uill  now  i;et  down  to  the  more  serious 
asDccts  of  their  collej^e  life,  the  ]nu'suit  of  femininitv.  Classes  of  o7, 
'.5.').  '.59.  please  take  note. 

Paced  by  a  certain  frosli,  known  to  intimates  as  laccpu's  Siuive, 
the  new  class  will  soon  lea\e  its  mark  on  caiii|)nses  var\iim  from

Opportunities- 

Lest  the  famous  Jac(|nes  Suave  (cousin  of  the  late  Sam  Stud) 
fjet  too  much  of  a  jumii  on  his  classmates  at  the  local  f;irls'  em|)or- 
iums.  the  RECOHD  offers  a  few  ti])s. 

Nearest  and  most  available  is  Bcnnin;j;ton,  19  miles  north,  fam- 
ed lor  la.\ity  of  reirnlations  and  prou;ressi\e  attihides  toward  music, 
art,  or  men.  Girls  must  either  return  at  fi  a.ni.  from  dates  or  take 
an  overnij^lit  and  there  are  unlimited  overnijrhts. 
The  State  Line 

One  drawback  for  frosh  is  the  lack  of  entertaimnent  within 
walking  distance  of  campus.  It  is  likeK'  thev  will  chance  on  an 
uppcrclassman  with  wheels  who  will  be  liap|)v  to  trundle  many 
bodies  to  one  ol  the  local  i^iii  nulls  or  back  to  Williamstouni.  Gin 
mills  include  the  State  Line  and  the  Merry-Go-Round,  both  war- 
rauliuf^  a  trip  e\en  without  a  datt'. 

Fiuther  awav  but  more  likely  to  ap]iear  on  honseparty  dqfe 
lists  arc  the  j^als  from  Skidniore  in  Saratos;a  S|irini^s,  N.  Y.,  about 
.5.5  miles  west.  Inionnahtv  jirevails  and  the  femmcs  are  noted  for 
their  yood  looks  and  their  nnlimited  o\ernii;hts  in  the  second  se- 
mester of  freshman  year. 

101  Burs 

Skidmore  i^irls  return  Sunday,  so  frosh  have  just  as  good  a 
shot  at  die  incomiun  crop  of  ujirls  as  do  classes  '.57.  ',58,  '.59.  Every- 
thint;  in  "Toi;a-To\vn"  is  in  walking;  distance  from  campus,  and 
there  is  a  choice  of  101  bars.  Notaliles  include  Paramoimt  Pete's, 
I'^iftv  .'\cres  and  the  No-Name  Ta\'ern. 

Probably  the  most  popidar  campus  of  all  is  Smith,  58  miles 
south-east  in  Northampton,  over  some  of  the  most  well-trayeled 
third  grade  roads  in  Ma.s.saelnisutts.  Middle-of-the-week  movers 
get  (he  jnui])  here,  as  Smith  ppeiis  Monday.  The  Smith  entrance 
(':;,iii-is  are  tough  and  a  ])refty  face  doesn't  initweigh  a  1)  in  high 
school  algebra  (as  it  is  reputed  to  do  at  .some  junior  colleges).  Thus 
a  blind  date  is  not  a  good  gamble. 

Vurudi.sc  Pond 

One  land-mark  worth  seeing  is  Paradise  Pond,  but  it  is  not 
guaiaiiteed  that  yom-  date  will  give  yon  a  guided  tour.  Many  tra- 
ditions are  connected  with  the  famous  lake,  and  suffice  it  to  say 
that  is  a  fine  spot  to  observe  the  pha.ses  of  the  moon. 

The  standard  entertainment  in  Northampton  is  the  Elbov* 
Room  in  Rahar's.  This  is  where  the  ivy  leaguers  of  the  .vorld  unite 
to  drink  beer.  I'or  those  who  would  rather  get  away  from  it  all. 
there  is  die  Hatfield  Club,  about  five  miles  out  of  town.  Other  at- 
tractions are  the  Williams  House.  Toto's.  die  flicks. 

Down  the  road  from  Northampton  about  11  miles  is  another 
favorite  source  of  weekend  talent.  Sit.  Holyoke.  Frosh  are  warned 
to  take  it  slow  here,  in  v  iew  of  the  Holvoke  motto,  "You  may  go  to 
S —  for  a  date,  but  von  go  to  Holvoke  for  a  wife". 

On-campus  entertainment  at  Holvoke  is  non-existant,  requir- 
ing a  ride  with  an  ii|iperclassnian.  The  Wately  Inn  and  the  Ever- 
greeii  Club  are  ])opular  iiight-s])ots,  but  jiianv  veterans  would  ra- 
tlier  take  their  dates  back  to  Northampton.  Holyoke  opens  Sunday. 
Amherst 
Frosh  should  realize  that  they  are  welcomed  during  big  week- 
ends in  .\uiherst  fraternity  houses.  This  proves  to  be  a  better  and 
iinich  cliea]«'r  place  to  take  a  Smith  or  Holyoke  date  thr.n  any  of 
the  nearby  night  clubs. 

A  host  of  other  o|i|iortnnities  jiresent  tliemselyes  at  some  more 
distant  colleges,  but  space  doesn't  ]K'niiit  details.  Locations  of  this 
talent  include  Wellesley,  V'assar,  15ennett  Jr.,  Bradford  Jr.,  Colo- 
r.ido  v..  Rriarcliffe,  Northwestern,  Connecticut  College,  Stanford, 
W'illianistovvii  High. 

l''or  real  straight-arrow  frosh,  there  are  (wo  more  institutions 
which  must  be  mentioned  —  Russell  Sage  in  Troy,  N,  Y.,  and  North 


Saturday,  Sept.  22  -  Thirty-two 
states,  Hawaii  and  Nova  Scotia 
arc  represented  among  the  286 
freshmen  who  will  begin  classes 
at  Williams.  Almost  equally  di- 
vided between  public  school  and 
preparatory  school  graduates,  the 
cla,ss  was  selected  from  a  record 
number  of  applications. 

As  in  past  years,  the  largest 
numbers  come  from  New  York, 
which  has  72,  Massachusetts  with 
46,  New  Jersey  26,  and  Connecti- 
cut 19.  Forty-three  of  the  students 
are  sons  of  alumni. 

2092    Applications 

The  admissions  office  processed 
2092  preliminary  applications  and 
1505  final  applications,  compared 
to  last  year's  1866  preliminary 
and  1284  final  applications.  The 
class  represents  72  private  schools 
and  108  public  schools,  with  136 
or  47.5  per  cent  coming  from 
public  high  schools.  This  com- 
pares with  23.6  per  cent  public 
high  scho-'l  graduates  who  entered 
with  the  freshman  class  in  1937 
when  President  James  P.  Baxter, 
3d  first  assumed  his  duties  as 
president. 

The  largest  number  from  any 
public  school  is  four,  including 
Greenwich  (Conn.)  High  School, 
Lexington  (Mass.)  High  School, 
MiUburn  (N.J.)  High  School,  and 
Williamstown  (Mass.)  High  School. 
Among  preparatory  schools,  those 
with  the  highest  representation 
are  Phillips  Academy  with  11, 
Deerfield  Academe  9,  and  Taft 
School  6. 

Scholarships 

Sixty-one  of  the  freshmen,  21.3 
per  cent  of  the  class,  will  be  re- 
ceiving scholarships  totaling  $45, 
600.  This  is  an  average  of  $747 
per  student,  in  grants  ranging 
from  $100  to  $1650,  which  is  $150 
more  than  last  year's  maximum. 
Added  to  scholarship  figures  for 
the  other  tlu-ee  classes  this  means 
that  183  students  are  receiving 
$143,905  in  scholarship  aid  this 
year  at  Williams. 

College  authorities  also  report- 
ed a  record  number  of  applica- 
tions for  scholarships — 438,  com- 
pared to  392  last  year,  and  255 
two  years  ago.  It  was  pointed 
out  that  the  rise  in  applications 
for  admission  and  scholarship  has 
been  caused  by  the  larger  num- 
ber of  students  seeking  higher 
education.  Another  factor  in  the 
increased  requests  for  scholarship 
aid  is  the  scholarship  service  which 
the  College  Board  authorities  have 
set  up.

The  Williams  Record  wishes  to  express  its  thanks  to  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Frankie  Thoms,  Ralph  Renzi  and  Pete  Pelham  for  the  incred- 
ible amount  of  time  they  devoted  to  making  order  out  of  chaos 
when  the  mechanics  of  rushing  proved  impossible.

This  Freshman  issue  of  the  Williams  Record  is  being  given  to 
the  members  of  the  class  of  1960  not  only  as  a  preview  of  what 
awaits  them  this  year  at  Williams,  but  also  as  a  sample  of  the 
newspaper  of  Williams  College.  The  group  of  undergraduates  who 
make  up  the  editorial  and  business  departments  of  the  Record, 
along  with  the  staffs  of  the  other  publications  are  proud  that  Wil- 
liams, altliough  a  small  college,  shows  enough  interest  in  the  liter- 
ary efforts  of  its  undergraduates  to  support  these  publications.  It 
is,  therefore,  fitting  at  this  time  to  review  the  functions  and  ob- 
jectives of  the  Record. 

The  primary  function  of  the  Record  is  to  gather  and  present 
all  the  pertinent  news  that  is  of  interest  to  the  Williams  College 
community,  which  comprises  undergraduates,  faculty,  alumni,  and 
friends  of  the  college,  including  parents  and  relatives  of  under- 
graduates. Naturally,  the  main  problem  that  faces  the  staff  is  how 
to  make  the  Record  interesting  to  such  a  diversified  group.  The 
Record  attempts  to  solve  this  problem  by  stressing  news  that  is  of 
interest  to  all  its  readers,  and  presenting  special  articles  designed 
for  individual  groups.  Tlie  secondary  function  of  this  newspaper 
is  to  interpret  and  point  the  news  in  editorials,  special  columns, 
feature  stories  and  sports  columns.  Here  the  editors  seek  to  mo- 
bihze  opinion  on  important  campus  and  national  problems  and  to 
show  the  significance  of  events  which  might  otherwise  pass  unno- 
ticed. 

To  plan  and  shape  the  issues  to  come,  to  work  in  collaboration 
with  associates  of  the  same  interests,  to  experiment  in  format  and 
makeup,  and  finally  to  see  the  completed  work  —  all  this  is  to  ex- 
perience the  unforgettable  thrill  that  comes  with  accomplishment. 
A  noted  joumahst  has  said  that  the  quality  of  its  publications  is  a 
true  guide  to  the  degree  of  civilization  in  a  community.  With  this 
thought  in  mind,  the  staff  of  the  Record  hopes  in  the  coming  year 
both  to  reflect  the  excellence  and  to  show  the  meaning  of  the  liber- 
al education  available  at  Williams  College.

Record  Sketches  Williamstown  Bigwigs 
In  an  Effort  to  Warn  Incoming  Frosh; 
Incongruities  Found  in  Academic  Setting 

Dazed  freshmen  wandering  through  the  rustic  buildings  and 
ivy  twined  lanes  of  the  Williams  campus  are  likely  to  encounter 
several  personalities  who  may,  at  first,  imjiress  them  as  rather  in- 
congruous fixtures  in  a  more  normal-than-thon  college  town.  On 
closer  observation,  however,  freshly  oriented  frosh  will  realize 
that  these  characters  are  actually  the  jjeople  who  make  the  college 
run  in  its  punctual,  orderly,  efficient  manner. 

Picture,  for  instance,  a  large  pair  of  horn-riinmed  glasses 
perched  atop  a  venerable  dome,  all  wrapped  up  in  a  time  worn 
I  man's  shirt.  A  jovial  voice  whicli  sounds  like  that  of  Mr.  Magoo 
is  heard:  ".  .  .  back  in  'fourteen,  w.icn  Oz  and  I . . . '  I'liore  voii  have 
it.  Along  the  path  into  Hopkins  Hall,  with  an  Eisenhonr-Ni.xon  ban- 
ner in  hand,  walks  none  other  than  Williams  College  President 
JAMES  PHINNEY  BAXTER,  III. 

Continuing  on  into  Hopkins  yon  are  besieged  by  a  jiack  of 
hunters  who  claim  that  they  have  seen  a  large  Silver  Fox  on  the 
loose  in  the  Williamstown  area.  Bursting  into  the  Dean's  office 
the  hunters  let  out  a  triumphant  shriek.  For  seated  behind  a  mili- 
tant desk  is  their  cpiarry.  However  they  quickly  realize  that  not 
even  a  silver  fox  could  wear  so  loud  a  shirt.  As  they  leave.  Dean 
ROBERT  R.  R.  BROOKS  heaves  a  long  sigh  . . .  free  once  again. 

But  not  for  long ...  for  into  the  room  strides  a  jolly,  debonair 
fellow  with  a  red  face  and  all  the  social  graces.  In  his  hand  is  a 
clarinet  on  which  he  attempts  to  play  modern  jazz  variations  on 
Elizabethan  madrigals.  After  several  abortive  tries  he  is  lea|5ed 
upon  by  THOMAS  V.  URMY,  M.  D.,  and  half  a  dozen  white  jack- 
eted attendants.  Orientation  has  ended  and  DEAN  LAMSON  is 
once  again  carried  off  to  his  padded  cell  atop  Mt.  Greylock  to  be- 
gin the  tedious  process  of  recuperative  therapy. 

You  have  left  Hopkins  now  for  the  comparative  peace  of 
Spring  Street.  As  you  pass  the  gym  you  are  confronted  with  a  silent 
group  of  Sophomores  looking  dejectedly  towards  the  remains  of 
East  College  where  they  were  to  have  lived.  Loud  shouts  are  beard 
further  down  the  street.  An  armed  mob  of  students  and  faculty 
members  overflow  into  the  once  nonnal,  friendly  thoroughfare. 
Anti-monopoly  signs  are  flourished  and  pictures  of  Teddy  Roose- 
velt and  Woodrow  Wilson  are  brandished  atop  long  poles.  Tlie 
anti-trust  faction  seethes  beneath  an  immense  black  cajie.  Sud- 
denly a  trio  of  voices  sings  in  unison  from  a  nearby  Ivory  Tower 
bearing  a  big  business  poster:  "Monopolized  we  ne'er  shall  fail. 
We're  fair  and  just  from  head  .  ..."  A  stone  pierces  the  Glass  Sanc- 
tum and  Messrs.  RUDNICK,  WALSH,  and  WASHBURN  grin 
feebly. '

ANOTHER  YEAR,  ANOTHER  DOLLAR 

Today  I  liGKin  the  third  year  of  writing  this  col- 
umn for  Philip  Morri.s  CiKarotte.s,  and  I  am  merry  in 
my  heart. 

I  am  merry  for  .several  reasons.  Fir.st,  because  I  am 
being  paid. 

Not,  let  me  hasten  to  state,  that  an  cmoUiment  was 
ncces.sary.  "Sirs."  I  said  a  lew  days  aRo  to  the  makers 
of  Philip  Morris,  who  underneath  their  dickeys  are  as 
friendly  as  pups  and  twice  as  cute,  "Sirs,"  I  said  to  this 
winsome  a.ssemblaKe.  "there  is  no  need  to  pay  me  for 
writintr  this  column.  If  I  can  intnxUice  America's  college 
men  and  women  to  Philip  Morris's  natural  tobacco  good- 
ness, if  I  can  inaugm-ate  them  into  the  vast  sodality  of 
Philip  Morris  smokers  and  tluis  enhance  their  happiness, 
heighten  their  zest,  upgrade  their  gusto,  magnify  their 
cheer,  broaden  their  bliss,  augment  their  glee,  and  in- 
crease their  PQ  — " 

"PQ?"  said  the  makers,  looking  at  me  askance. 

"Pleasure  Ouotient."  I  explained. 

"Ah!"  .said  the  makers,  nodding  their  sweet,  shaggy 
heads. 

"If,"  I  continued,  "I  can  do  these  splendid  things  for 
the  college  population  of  America,  there  is  no  need  for 
money,  because  I  am  more  than  amply  repaid." 

We  wept  then.  I  am  not  a.shamed  to  say  it.  WE 
WEPT!  I  wish  the  wiseacres  who  .say  big  business  is 
cold  and  heartless  could  have  been  there  that  day.  I  wish 
they  could  have  witnes.sed  the  deep,  croaking  sobs  that 
racked  the  gathering,  the  great,  shimmering  tears  that 
splashed  on  the  boardroom  table.  We  wept,  every  man- 
jack  of  us.  The  makers  wept.  The  secretaries  wept.  I 
wept.   My  agent,  Clyde  Greedy,  wept.   We  wept  all. 

"No,  no!"  cried  one  of  the  makers,  whose  name  is 
Good  Sam.   "We  insist  on  paying  you." 

"Oh,  all  right,"  I  said. 

Then  we  laughed.  The  gloom  passed  like  a  summer 
shovver.  We  all  laughed  and  chose  up  sides  and  played 
stoop-tag  and  had  .steaming  mugs  of  cocoa  and  lit  plump, 
firm,  white  cigarettes,  brimming  full  of  natural  tobacco 
goodness.   I  mean  Philip  Morris,  of  corris! 


.  }wii)  tp  Oouiile-Oste  in^n 


Refreshed  and  exalted,  we  returned  to  the  busi- 
ness at  hand.  "Now  then,"  said  one  of  the  makers,  whose 
name  is  Merry  Andrew,  "what  will  you  write  about  in 
your  column  this  year?" 

"About  students  and  teachers,"  I  said.  "About  classes 
and  cutting.  About  eds  and  coeds.  About  Greeks  and 
independents.  About  the  important  issues  that  occupy 
the  supple  young  minds  of  college  America." 

"Like  what?"  asked  one  of  the  makers,  whose  name 
is  Tol'able  David. 

"Like  how  to  finance  a  full  social  life  without  a  re- 
volver," I  replied.  "Like  how  to  wear  Bermuda  shorts 
though  your  knees  look  like  brain-coral.  Like  how  to 
double-date  in  an  MG." 

"And  will  you,"  a.sked  one  of  the  makers,  whose  name 
is  Peter-Sit-by-the-Fire,  "from  time  to  time  say  a  pleas- 
ant word  about  Philip  Morris  Cigarettes,  which  arc  now 
available  in  two  sizes  -  Regular  in  the  familiar  Snap- 
Open  Pack,  and  Long  Size  in  the  new  Crushproof  Box?" 

"Crazy  kid!"  I  chuckled,  pushing  my  fist  gently 
against  his  jaw.  "You  know  I  will." 

And  we  all  shook  hands -silently,  firmly,  manlily- 
and  I  left,  dabbing  at  my  eyes  with  my  agent,  and  hurried 
to  the  neare.st  typewriter.

JTHE^ WILLIAMS  HECOHD,  SATURDAY,  SEPTEMHEH  22,  1956 


WMS  to  Operate  ou  FM  Band 
Station  Continues  AM  Programs 


Saturday,  Sept.  22  -  On  the 
first  day  of  November,  the  Wil- 
liiiins  College  radio  station  WMS 
will  begin  brottdeasting  on  an  PM 
frequency,  Fred  Wiii-ston  '59,  pub- 
licity director,  said  today.  The 
.sitident-run  station  will  be  known 
i, ,  WCPM  on  the  new  band. 

Contrary  to  rumor,  the  station 
will  continue  Its  AM  broadcaslinw 
•A  nil  the  same  programming  which 
\,ill  be  carried  on  the  FM  fre- 
quency. 

WMS  will  begin  its  regular  AM 
;  rogramming  on  Monday,  Sep- 
U'niber  24.  Limited  warm-up 
uroadcastlng  for  the  benefit  of 
liie  Frosli  has  been  on  the  air 
ince  Thursday.  Once  underway, 
the  station  hopes  to  broadcast 
(111  AM  continuously  from  1  p.m. 
■.intil  midnight  every  day. 

Problems 

Although  the  FM  will  reach 
ilie  outlying  houses  which  do  not 
receive  the  AM  signal,  there  is 
.slill  the  problem  of  a  limited 
number  of  FM  receivers  on  cam- 
pus. The  station  hopes  to  solve 
this  problem  by  installing  con- 
verters in  the  houses  to  change 
the  AM   frequency  to  FM. 

According  to  station  president 
Cliarlie  Gibson  '57,  experiments 
on  PM  converters  will  start  as 
soon  as  broadcasting  begins  and 
the  station  is  operating  smoothly. 
Until  November  1,  only  the  dorms 
and  closer  houses  will  be  able  to 
receive  the  station  by  means  of 
the  FM  frequency. 

Techniralities 

A  42-foot,  triangular  aluminum 
tower,  measuring  12  inches  on 
each  side,  has  been  erected  on  the 
roof  of  Baxter  Hall,  and  the  FM 
transmitter,  antenna  and  crystal 
liave  been  ordered  from  the  Gates 
Radio  Company  of  Quincy,  Illi- 
nois. New  studio  equipment  in- 
cludes AM  and  FM  tuners,  an 
amplifier  and  three  testers,  plus 
five  microphones  and  some  loud- 
speakers donated  by  station  WBZ 
in  Boston. 

Tlie  familiar  announcement, 
"This  has  been  a  test  broadcast." 
will  be  missing  from  tlie  close  of 
each  broadcasting  session  this  year. 
The  station's  signal,  which  was 
formerly  judged  too  strong  by  the 
FCC  was  checked  again  this  spring 
and  found  to  be  within  its  legal 
limits. 

Compel  Meetings 

A  compel  meeting  for  upper- 
classmen  will  be  held  on  Monday 
evening  with  a  Freshman  compel 
meeting  to  follow  later  in  the 
week — probably  Wednesday.  The 
station's  staff,  now  about  50,  will 
take  on  about  75  compets. 


Orientation  .  .  . 

of  Oreylock  for  a  firsthand  look. 
The  more  hearty  chose  to  climb 
the  powerllne;  others  drove  to  the 
top. 

The  outing  was  followed  by  a 
meeting  with  the  undergraduate 
extracuiTlcular  officers.  In  the 
evening  a  panel  entitled  "You  and 
Your  College"  headed  by  Phil 
McKean  '58,  of  the  WCC  was  held 
in  the  freshman  lounge. 

One  more  day  remains  of  ori- 
entation, highlighted  by  a  recep- 
tion for  Freshmen  at  the  home  of 
President  and  Mrs.  Baxter;  and 
then,  aware  at  least  of  some  of 
the  opportunities  awaiting  them, 
the  class  of  1960  begin  their  first 
year  at  Williams.

Brooks  Discloses 
Auto  Regulations 

College  Appoints  Willis 
As  First  Campus  Cop 


Thursday,  Sept.  20  -  In  an  in- 
terview with  the  RECORD  Dean 
Robert  R.  R.  Brooks  disclosed  a 
tightening  up  of  rules  regarding 
automobiles  at  Williams.  He  first 
quelled  the  notion  that  sopho- 
mores might  be  extended  driving 
permission.  "Unfounded  rumors 
circulated  last  spring  to  the  effect 
that  the  sophomore  no-driving 
rule  might  be  lifted,"  he  said. 
"These  rumors  were  in  error." 

"Indeed,  the  Ti-ustees,  in  their 
June  meeting  reviewed  the  whole 
problem  of  automobiles  at  Wil- 
liams, reaffirmed  the  no-driving 
rule  for  freshmen  and  sophomores, 
and  provided  means  for  more  ef- 
fective enforcement  of  the  auto- 
mobile rules  and  control  of  the 
parking   problem." 

Police  Officer 

Dean  Brooks  went  on  to  reveal 
several  steps  taken  to  implement 
the  Trustee's  decision.  Perhaps 
the  biggest  move  has  been  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  college  police  of- 
ficer, Mr.  George  Millis,  to  en- 
force all  automobile  regulations. 
His  office  is  in  the  basement  of 
Hopkins  and  it  is  hoped  that  a 
telephone  will  soon  be  Installed. 

All  juniors  and  seniors  were 
notified  during  the  summer  by 
personal  letter  from  Dean  Brooks 
about  the  new  regulations.  The 
Dean  expressed  the  hope  that 
students  possessing  automobiles 
would  quickly  acquaint  them- 
selves with  all  new  driving  rules. 

S15  Registration  Fee 

Some  of  the  important  changes 
in  the  regulations  were:  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  registration  fee 
of  $15  a  year  or  $10  a  semester  to 
help  defray  the  cost  of  meeting 
the  Williams  car  problem;  the 
allotment  of  special  parking 
spaces  to  each  dormitory  resident 
having  a  car. 

Morgan  Hall  residents  have  been 
assigned  places  in  the  Jesup  and 
Hockey  Rink  lots.  Students  living 
at  West  College  will  be  able  to 
leave  their  cars  at  the  old  Fac- 
ulty House  lot  while  Junior  Ad- 
visors will  have  access  to  spaces 
in  the  Lehman  Hall  lot.  The 
Dean  stressed  that  parking  in  any 
of  the  a.ssigned  spaces  by  others 
is  specifically  prohibited. 

All  cars  owned  by  students  must 
be  registered  with  Officer  Millis 
within  two  days  after  their  ar- 
rival In  Williamstown.

Williamstown  Summer  Theatre 
Completes  Successful  Season; 
Group  Breaks  Even  Financially 


Saturday,  Sept.  22  -  As  the  final  curtain  closed  on  Jean 
Anouilh's  "Tiger  at  the  Gates"  tliree  weeks  ago,  the  Williamstovyn 
Summer  Theatre  completed  its  second  10-weefc  season  at  the  AMT. 

Under  the  direction  of  Nikos  Psacharopoulos,  the  resident 
company  again  presented  a  diversified  two  and  a  half  month 
program,  and  because  of  financial  success,  they  plan  to  continue 
the  ])roject  next  year. 

Histori/ 

The  idea  of  summer  stock  in  Williamstown  was  born  in 
August,  19.54,  upon  the  suggestion  of  an  interested  group  of  local 
citizens  including  College  News  Director  Ralph  Renzi  and  the 
town's  Board  of  'Prade.  In  the  ten  montlis  following,  a  three-man 
committee  studied  the  possibility. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  Williams  College  then  permitted 
the  use  of  the  AMT,  and  the  Williamstown  Tlieatre  Foundation 
was  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Massachusetts.  Mr.  Louis 
Rudnick  was  installed  as  president— a  post  he  still  holds. 

Last  Season 

Under  Mr.  Psacharopoulos,  the  Summer  Tlieatre  broke  even 
financially  this  year  as  compared  with  a  $6000  loss  last  year.  This 
success  was  caused  by  increased  attendance,  a  reduction  in  rent, 
and  a  pared  budget. 

When  the  foundation's  board  of  directors  meets  next  month, 
they  will  decide  whether  the  theatre  will  be  continued  next  sum- 
mei'.  .Also  to  he  discussed  will  be  a  better  system  of  air  condi- 
tioning, the  possibility  of  joining  actor's  equity,  and  whether  the 
thcLitre  should  invite  visiting  stars. 

The  Plat/n 

The  most  popular  play  of  the  recent  season  was  George 
Bernard  Shaw's  "Saint  Joan",  which  set  a  two-year  record  for 
receipts.  It  starred  one  of  the  six  returning  veterans  to  the  local 
scene.  Sue  Ann  Gilfillan. 

.After  the  coni)5letion  of  the  season  it  was  announced  that 
Miss  Gilfillan  had  left  for  New  York  to  be  auditioned  by  Otto 
Preminger.  Mr.  Preminger  is  conducting  a  nationwide  search  for 
an  actress  to  jilay  Joan  of  Arc  in  a  forthcoming  film  version. 

Also  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Psacharopoulos  were  "Mrs. 
McThing,"  "Tlie  Philadelphia  Story,"— the  comedy  upon  which 
Bing  Crosby's,  Frank  Sinatra's  and  Grace  Kelley's  movie  "High 
Society"  was  based,  and  "The  Flowering  Peach". 

Rounding  out  the  schedule  were  "The  Chalk  Garden,"  which 
enjoyed  long  and  successful  runs  in  London  and  New  Y'ork;  "The 
Young  and  the  Beautiful"  —  a  story  of  the  love-affairs  of  a  Chicago 
debutante  based  on  the  writings  of  F.  Scott  Fitzgerald;  "Point  of 
No  Return,"  from  Marquand's  novel;  Anouilh's  witty  portrayal  of 
the  Trojan  War,  "Tiger  at  the  Gates";  and  a  new  play,  "Up  from 
Everest." 

The  Actors 

On  stage  once  more  to  provide  a  nucleus  of  talent  for  the 
group  came  Evans  Evans  from  the  Yale  School  of  Drama,  Cynthia 
Lee  Harris  from  Smith  College  and  the  Masters  Institute  and  Dra- 
matic Workshop  in  the  President  Theatre,  Casey  Keese  from  re- 
search in  New  York  for  playwright  Sidney  Kingsley,  Bernie  Ku- 
koff  from  varied  appearances,  jNlather  Bacon  who  studied  for  a 
year  in  England  at  the  London  Academy  of  Music  and  Dramatic 
Art,  and  Miss  Gilfillan. 

New  faces  of  1956  included  Ruth  Brinkman,  Charles  McAr- 
thiu-,  Toby  MacFarland,  Jay  Sweeney,  Rex  Robbins,  and  appren- 
tices Elizabeth  Dietzman,  L'i.ma  Naftalison,  and  Ken  Geist.

Not  a  chance.  Even  if  he  happens  to  get  better 
grades  in  a  couple  of  subjects.  But  what  does  he 
jknow  about  the  election  campaign?  About  the 
Mi<i-East  crisis?  About  the  national  football  pic- 
ture? About  movie  ratings? 

When  it  comes  to  Icnowing  about  the  world 
around  you,  you've  got  him  beat.  Because  you 
read  The  New  York  Times.  And  only  The  New 
lYork  Times  brings  you  such  clear,  colorful,  com- 
plete reports  on  world  events  and  all  your  inter- 
ests. It  helps  you  be  a  more  interesting  person, 
helps  you  get  better  grades. 

You  do  read  The  New  York  Times,  don't  you? 
If  not,  get  hopping.  Contact  your  campus  repre- 
sentative and  he'll  deliver  The  New  York  Times 
right  at  your  room  every  morning.

In  recent  workouts  Co-Caplain  Howie  l'att<'r.son  has  been 
swilched  to  center  forward  to  bolster  the  team's  scorinj^  punch. 
Jm  tlie  pn.st  two  .sea.sons  PallersonQ. 
l.M.s  started  at  left  halfback.  Dick 
Kr'PP  and  Zeke  KniKhl  are  the 
1,  lier  leadinK  center  candidates. 
Vi'tcrans  B:uno  Quin.son,  Steve 
l- lost  and  Dick  Towne  will  vie  lor 
llic  right  forward  position.s.  Nick 
I>  wey  and  Jack  Laeri  are  the  top 
conlender.s  for  the  left  inside  spot. 
H^ll  Warren  may  net  the  nod  for 
lill  outside.  Dave  Kimball  will 
be  shifted  between  the  left  in- 
side and  outside  slots.  Coach 
Cliuffee  expects  Junior  Fred  Par- 
>iins  to  b3  a  strong  candidate  for 
the  ripht  outside  position.  Parsons

Dick  Lombard  and  Jim  Hutchin- 
son are  practically  assured  of 
stnrtinB  berths  as  rlKht  and  left 
halfbacks  respectively.  AlthouKh 
Lombard  did  not  play  his  fresh- 
man year  because  of  a  knee  injury, 
both  Juniors  saw  plenty  of  action 
last  year.  Senior  Pete  Elbow  and 
Sophomore  Tony  Harwood  are 
tlie  leadinR  contenders  for  the 
center  halfback  position.  Although 
he  did  not  try  out  for  the  fresh- 
man team  last  year.  Harwood  has 
shown  plenty  of  speed  and  prom- 
ise. 


Eph    footballers   readying-   for    Trinity    opener. 


Sroble    at    ixtt   Fullbark 

A  speedy  and  clever  ball  hand- 
ler. Co-Captain  Bill  Scoble  will 
fill  the  left  fullback  slot.  Sopho- 
more Don  Lum  will  probably  play 
alongside  Scoble.  Lum  has  proved 
himself  cagey  as  well  as  a  hust- 
ling booter. 

Jock  Purcell  will  gain  the  start- 
ing goalie  berth.  Jim  Scott  and 
Dave  Stoner  will  provide  the 
main  competition.  Stoner  starred 
for  last  year's  yearling  booters  as 
well  as  being  co-captain. 

Sophomores  Show  Promise 

Coach  Chaffee  expects  Mike 
Baring-Gould  to  be  the  leading 
sophomore  candidate  to  break  into 
the  forward  wall  as  a  starter. 
Baring-Gould  was  the  other  year- 
ling co-captain  as  well  as  being 
their  high  .scorer.  Coach  Chaffee 
will  also  depend  heavily  on  other 
leading  sophomores,  Mike  Grant 
and  Dick  Cole,  to  give  team  more 
depth  on  the  front  line. 

Although  the  spirit  and  enthu- 
siasm has  been  excellent.  Coach 
Chaffee  cannot  predict  how  his 
team  will  do  at  this  early  date. 


jT""i*L  '.'.'''lil'"'  l^'"'''""':''  thaffcc,   Len   Hatters  I  I  to  r)  are  the  head  coaches  of  cross  country,  soccer 
and  footbail.  They  hope  for  fine  seasons. 


Sophomores    Bolster 
Cross  Country  Team 


Hindered  by  continuous  rain 
over  the  weekend,  the  1956  Cro.ss 
Country  team  was  unable  to  prac- 
tice outside  until  Tuesday.  On 
Monday  Coach  Tony  Plansky  look- 
ed over  some  of  the  prospects  at 
a  workout  on  the  track  in  the  La- 
.sell  Gymnasium.  In  preparation 
for  their-  opening  meet  with  the 
University  of  Mass.  on  October  6, 
the  thinclads  will  work  out  on 
the  Weston  Field  track. 

Headed  by  Captain  Jim  Hecker. 
this  year's  squad  will  rely  chiefly 
on  sophomore  talent  to  improve 
upon  last  season's  3-3  record. 
Along  with  Hecker,  the  other  up- 
perclassmen  out  tor  the  team  are 
Bill  Fox.  Dan  West,  Carl  Tips, 
Jim  Murphy,  and  Dick  Clokey. 
Leading  candidates  from  the 
sophomore  class  include  George 
Sudduth,  Steve  Saunders,  John 
Szufnarowskl,  and  Dave  Canfield. 
Going  on  the  strength  of  their 
performances  last  year,  Bill  Fox 
and  George  Sudduth  appear  to 
be  the  top  two  runners.

three  members  of  the  class  of  '58 
eai-ned  Sophomore  Honors  at  the

Dean's  Office  statistics.  This  is 
29  per  cent  of  the  class.

degree  with  distinction  at  gradua- 
tion. 


Eighteen  Sophomores  Add  Depth 
To  Veteran  Eph  Football  Squad; 
Williams  Faces  Trinity  Saturday 

Saturday,  Sept.  22  —  With  its  openinj;  game  just  one  week 
away,  the  1956  Williams  football  squad  continues  the  intense  prac- 
tice which  hejfan  on  September  4th.  Under  head  coach  Len  Wal- 
ters, assisted  by  ]iin  Ostendarj)  and  new  freshman  mentor  Jim 
.Navarro,  the  gioup  of  41  has  been  practicing  twice  a  day.  This 
next  week  practice  sessions  will  be  cut  down  to  one  a  day  as  the 
Trinity  contest  draws  closer. 

The  squad  is  dominated,  as  expected,  by  18  members  of  last 
year's  unbeaten  freshman  team,  regarded  by  many  as  the  best  in 
\Villiains'  history.  Besides  the  sophomores.  Coach  Watters  lias  15 
juniors  and  8  seniors  on  the  team.  On  tlie  basis  of  a  successful 
scrimmage  with  Springfield  last  week,  Walters  is  pleased  with  the 
group's  showing  so  far  and  looks  for  a  big  improvement  over  the 
4-4  club  of  1955.  However,  the  head  coacli  stressed  the  fact  that 
nearly  all  the  clubs  on  the  schedule  this  year  will  be  improved. 
Tufts,  Colby  and  Wesleyan  all  have  veteran  teams  and  Trinity, 
des|5ite  the  loss  of  the  great  Charley  Sticka  and  some  of  his  team- 
mates, is  still  expected  to  turn  out  a  strong  entry. 
Three  Teams 

So  far  the  grouji  has  been  divided  into  three  teams.  Barring 
injuries,  which  have  already  taken  a  heavy  toll,  Watters  plans  to 
use  a  two  platoon  system  much  the  same  as  that  employed  against 
Spriiigfielu.  Two  comjilete  teams  were  shuttled  in  and  out  every 
six  or  se\eii  niiiiutes  in  this  scrimmage  with  fine  results.  By  the  day 
"I  the  season's  oiiener,  Watters  feels  he  should  have  two  equally 
strong  units  ready  to  go.  Though  the  team  has  more  depth  than 
ill  ]irevious  years,  the  coaches  still  fear  crippling  injuries  to  key 
iiR'ii.  Stu  W'allace,  outstanding  freshman  co-captain  and  center 
last  vear,  and  \eteran  tackle  John  Van  Hoven  are  both  lost  for  the 
year. 

Of  the  three  grou|)s,  the  red  team  has  Richie  Kagan  and  Joe 
Perrott  at  the  ends.  Bill  Hedenian  and  Dick  Jackson  at  tackle, 
Frank  Uible  and  Tony  Volpe  at  guard,  and  Hank  Dinihch  at  cen- 
ter. Bob  Appleford  t|uarterbacks  this  elexen  with  Chip  Ide  and 
Dick  l\'aron  at  halfback,  and  Matt  Donner  at  fullback.  Making  up 
the  white  team  line  are  Skip  Martin,  Tom  Connolly  and  Norm 
Walker  at  the  ends.  Bob  Lane  and  Karl  Schoeller  at  tackle,  Jim 
Richardson  and  Tom  Heekin  at  the  guards,  and  Bob  Lowden  at 
center.  Garry  Higgins  is  the  quarterback.  Whitey  Kaufman  and 
Garv  Shortlidge  are  the  halfliacKs  with  1955  workhorse,  Joe  Potter, 
at  fullback. 

Blue  Team 

The  blue  team  consists  of  Dan  Callahan  and  Dan  Fanning  at 
end  with  Gordo  Reid  and  Lane  at  tackle,  Fitz  Winegarner  and 
John  Pritcliard  at  guards,  and  George  Vare  or  Dave  Batchelder  at 
center.  Tom  Christopher  is  the  quarterback  with  Cliff  Colwell, 
Bob  Hatcher,  Ted  Sage  and  Norm  Cram  at  the  halfbacks,  and 
Bruce  Listerman  at  fullback.  Dick  Siegel  is  a  reserve  center  and  Ed 
Kyritz  is  a  reserve  guard. 

Outstanding  in  the  scrimmage  so  far  have  been  Kagan  at  end, 
.\|5pleford  and  Higgins  at  quarterback,  Hedeman  at  tackle,  Uible 
at  guard,  and  Fearon  and  Sage  at  halfljack.  The  team  will  certainly 
not  lack  needed  weight  in  certain  positions.  Donner  at  200  and 
Potter  at  190  are  fullbacks.  Hedeman  and  Schoeller  weigh  215  at 
tackle.  Tackle  Jackson  tips  the  scales  at  230.  Vare  weighs  200  and 
Dimlich  190  at  center.  Heekin  and  Uible  are  guards  at  205  each 
and  Richardson  weighs  200.  End  Walker  scales  in  at  195. 
Triiiitif  Bin  Test 

The  Puqjie  face  one  of  their  biggest  tests  in  their  first  game 
as  Trinity  should  (jroduce  one  of  the  three  best  teams  on  the  Wil- 
liams schedule.  Colby  is  a  brand  new  entry  this  year,  but  should 
not  be  easy  as  it  boasts  a  veteran  squad.  Tufts  would  seem  to  be 
capable  of  playing  the  best  ball  of  any  the  Ephs  will  see  all  sea- 
son. The  Jumbos  will  be  out  to  avenge  last  year's  startling  22-12 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  the  visiting  Williams  squad.  As  usual,  no 
one  can  predict  the  outcome  of  the  Little  Three  competition.  How- 
ever, at  this  writing,  it  seems  Wesleyan  holds  the  edge  over  Am- 
herst as  it  has  several  important  lettermen  returning.  The  Jeffs 
have  added  se\eral  service  returnees,  but  can  not  count  on  too 
much  help  from  their  sophomores  who  lost  to  the  Ephs,  52-0  last 
season. 

The  Purple's  sophomore  aggregation  seems  to  give  it  tlie  edge 
over  both  potted  Ivy  oi^ponents.  Pre-season  polls  picked  Williams 
to  lose  no  more  than  two  games  and  may  not  be  far  wrong.  Eph 
football  fans,  of  course,  are  hoping  for  an  unbeaten  year  crowned 
by  a  win  over  Amherst,  the  first  in  four  years.  In  any  case,  the  out- 
come of  the  Trinity  opener  will  contribute  much  toward  settling 
many  questions.

The  Stetson  Library  was  further 
modernized  by  complete  redecorn- 
■;on  and  Installation  of  ventilatinB 

pparatus  In  the  Lower  Reading 
Koom.  Improvements  which  allow 

ludenls  the  privilege  of  smoking 
uhllc  in  an  atmosphere  highly 
conducive  lo  study.  Tlr,"  front  hall- 
way was  entirely  remodeled,  with 
new  floors,  lightlne,  card  files, 
ilesks,  and  other  Interior  decora- 
tion. Completion  of  the  new  addi- 
tion win  add  a  second  reading 
room  for  student  use  In  the  rear 
of  the  fourth  tier  stacks. 

Lawrence,  Dewey 

The  restoration  of  Lawrence 
Hall  was  also  undertaken,  and  all 
the  rooms  except  the  main  muse- 
um and  wings  were  redone.  Tills 
.job  proved  rather  costly  because 
of  the  building's  age,  the  final  es- 
timate reaching  clo.se  to  $30,000. 
The  old  Mather  House  on  Main 
Street,  which  formerly  housed 
Professor  Curry  and  his  family,  Is 
now  being  remodeled  Into  five  hon- 
ors conference  rooms  and  two  fac- 
ulty apartments.  Dewey  House  has 
been  converted  from  faculty  of- 
fice space  into  two  faculty  apart- 
ments. 

Aside  from  these  major  con- 
.structlon  Jobs,  redecoratlon  was 
applied  to  Morgan  Hall's  two  mid- 
dle entries,  thereby  completing  lis 
modernization  after  three  years  of 
summer  work.  A  new  seminar 
room  was  constructed  in  the  Fer- 
nald  House,  and  the  Chemistry 
Lab  received  new  blackboards  and 
some  basement  renovation. 

Improved  parking  facilities  were 
installed  at  the  hockey  rink,  the 
Old  Faculty  Club,  and  In  front  of 
Stetson  Library.  Stetson  received 
a  fresh  coat  of  paint  on  Its  exterior 
trim,  as  did  Berkshire  Hall.  The 
baseball  grandstand  at  Weston 
Field  was  renovated. 


Saturday.  Sept.  29  -  In  its  sixth 
speciil  exhibition  since  opening  a 
.vear  ago.  the  Sterling  and  Fran- 
cine  Clark  Art  Institute  on  Sept. 
18  put  on  display  two  land.scapes 
by  Monet  and  a  collection  of  32 
originals  by  Renoir  acclaimed  by 
critics  as  "unmatched  in  Ame:ica". 

Tlie  new  exhibit  brings  lo  116 
the  number  of  paintings  In  the 
museum  which  is.  according  to 
Peter  GulUe.  director  of  the  In- 
stitute, about  40  per  cent  of  the 
personal  collection  amassed  by 
Sterling  and  Prancine  Clark  who 
built  the  large  $3,000,000  Vermont 
while  maible  structui'e  In  Wll- 
liamstown  lo  avoid  bombing  raids. 

Varied    Subjects 

The  Renoir  showing  includes 
river,  canal  and  coastal  views; 
still  llfes  of  flowers,  fruits  and  ve- 
getables: nude  figures;  informal 
porti'aits;  and  .self-portraits  by  the 
great  artist  who  was  one  of  the 
initiators  of  French  impressionism. 

Ranging  over  the  whole  of  Ren- 
oir's long  career,  the  paintings  af- 
ford, according  lo  S.  Lane  Faison, 
Director  of  Williams'  Lawrence  Art 
Museum,  "a  unique  opportunity  to 
study  a  master  in  his  many 
moods".  Faison  calls  the  showing 
"one  of  the  six  or  seven  great  Ren- 
oir displays  in  the  world".  It  is  said 
lo  be  the  largest  in  America. 

Institute  Acclaimed 

Tlie  institute  and  its  previous 
exhibits  have  received  coasiderable 
acclaim  for  their  excellence  on  a 
national  scale.  TIME  Magazine  on 
last  May  7  devoted  a  page  and  a 
half  to  the  unveiling  of  the  unique 
Coui't  Gallery  with  the  Inolitute's 
fifth  exhibit.  This  exhibit  included 
works  by  such  famous  artists  as 
Corot,  Millet,  Troyton,  Degas, 
Courbet,  Monet.  Sisley,  Boudin, 
Plssarro,  and  Toulouse-Lautrec. 

Critics  and  art  lovers  from  all 
over  the  East  viewed  the  preview 
and  the  opening  of  the  sixth  ex- 
hibit which  has  displaced  the  fifth 
exhibit  fiom  the  Court  Gallery  to 
other  sites  in  the  Institute. 


Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  Secretary 
of  State  John  Foster  Dulles  will 
be  the  principal  speaker  at  the 
special  Williams  College  convoca- 
tion next  Saturday  morning,  Octo- 
ber 6,  to  commemorate  the  origin 
of  the  American  foreign  mission- 
ary movement  which  look  place  on 
the  campus  150  years  ago.  Al- 
though he  is  expected  to  speak  on 
foreign  affairs,  Mr.  Dulles'  speech 
will  probably  be  nonpolilical. 

Secretary  Dulles'  participation 
in  the  meeting  will  depend  on  the 
status  of  current  foreign  policy 
problems,  especially  the  Suez  cri- 
sis, in  the  next  week.  While  on  the 
campus  he  will  be  the  guest  of 
President  James  P.  Baxter,  III. 

Presbyterian  Layman 

An  eminent  Presbyterian  layman 
and  former  leader  of  the  Federal 
Council  of  Churches  in  the  field 
of  international  relations,  Mr. 
Dulles  is  highly  qualified  in  his 
.subject.  The  .speech  will  be  deliv- 
ered in  Chapin  Hall. 

Mr.  Dulles  will  be  one  of  three 
persons  to  receive  honorary  de- 
grees during  the  special  convoca- 
tion exercises.  The  ceremony  will 
be  similar  to  the  Ephraim  Wil- 
liams bicenteimial  convocation 
held  at  this  time  last  year. 

Haystack  Meeting 

The  convocation  is  the  last  in 
a  number  of  different  gatherings 
which  have  commemorated  the 
anniversary  of  the  meeting  which 
started  the  American  foreign  mis- 
sionary movement.  Waiting  imder 
a  haystack  for  a  rainstorm  to 
abate,  five  Williams  students 
pledged  themselves  to  carry  the 
gospel  to  the  far  corners  of  the 
world. 

Since  the  time  of  the  Haystack 
Prayer  Meeting,  many  Williams 
graduates  have  achieved  notable 
careers  as  churchmen.  Tire  names 
of  the  fii'sl  five  have  been  pre- 
served in  stone  on  the  side  of  a 
twelve-foot  obelisk  marking  the 
site  of  their  meeting  in  1806.  As 
part  of  the  ceremony  special  cer 
tificates  are  to  be  mailed  lo  the 
150  Williams  graduates  who  are 
currently  engaged  in  the  ministry 
or  the  missionary  field.

Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  A  high- 
powered  Trinity  football  team  puts 
a  fifteen  game  winning  streak  on 
the  line  this  afternoon  against  a 
greatly  Improved  Williams  eleven 
in  Hartford.  Not  only  a  big  game 
for  the  Hilltoppers.  who  must  see 
what  the  loss  of  Little  All  Ameri- 
can Chailie  Stlcka  really  means, 
the  game  is  foremost  In  Impor- 
tance for  the  Ephmen,  who  have 
the  potential  to  develop  into  one 
of  Williams'  finest  teams  in  many 
years.  A  key  opener  in  small  New 
England  football,  the  game  could 
prove  to  be  one  of  the  most  excit- 
ing of  the  year. 

"Trinity  Must  be  Good"

Rev.  Cole  Writes 
On  College  Dates 

Chaplain  Hits  Myths 
Of  Campus  Society 

Appearing  in  the  September  is- 
sue of  "The  IntercoUegian"  is  an 
article  written  by  Professor  Wil- 
liam G.  Cole.  Williams  College 
chaplain.  Tills  literary  joui-nal  is 
published  by  the  National  Stu- 
dent Council  of  the  YMCA  and 
YWCA.  Entitled  '"STour  date — a 
many  splendored  thing?"  the  arti- 
cle gives  a  hard-hitting  analysis 
of  dating  at  the  college  level. 

In  discussing  the  importance  of 
college.  Cole  strongly  emphasizes 
the  idea  of  campus  social  life  be- 
ing "not  simply  preparation  but 
life  itself".  Written  chiefly  tor  in- 
coming freshmen,  the  article 
stresses  the  Imperative  need  of 
moulding  one's  personality  for 
later  life.  The  big  question  to  be 
answered  by  the  Individual  Is  not 
"where  are  you  now?"  but  "where 
are  you  going?" 

Campus  Sex  Myths 

Reverend  Cole  refutes  what  he 
calls  two  campus  sex  myths,  these 
being  that  sexual  abstinence 
causes  neurosis  and  that  pre-mari- 
tal sexual  relationships  are  good 
preparation  for  marriage.  The 
author  refers  to  both  of  these 
misconceptions  as  the  result  of 
"an  Interpersonal  orientation  that 
is  selfish  and  exploitative". 
See  Page  4,  Col.  1 


Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  "We  tried 
to  get  by  as  long  as  possible  with- 
out a  campus  police  officer,  but 
there  is  no  point  in  having  re- 
strictions without  enforcing  them". 
Dean  Robert  R.  R.  Brooks  told 
the  RECORD  today. 

"We  did  just  what  other  colleges 
have  done  all  along,"  Brooks  said. 
He  explained  that  Amherst  has 
five  campus  officers  on  lull-time 
duty  and  Dartmouth  tises  many 
more. 

$6000  Cost 

Through  registration  fees  driv- 
ers will  bear  about  75  per  cent  of 
what  their  automobiles  cost  the 
college  each  year.  Brooks  said.  Re- 
gistration of  student  cars  is  ex- 
pected to  net  approximately  $4500. 
while  the  cost  of  these  cars  to  the 
college  will  be  about  $6000  this 
year. 

Brooks  refused  to  give  out  a 
breakdown  on  the  $6000  expendi- 
ture figure  but  stated  campus  cop 
George  MlUis'  salary  "was  less 
than  half,  but  still  a  considerable 
part".  Other  items  were  a  college 
police  car,  clerical  time  and  park- 
ing lot  maintenance.  e 

Fines 

Student  fines  are  not  expected 
to  fill  much  of  the  $1500  deficit. 
Brooks  explained,  as  the  main 
penalty  for  violations  will  be  sus- 
pension of  driving  privileges. 

"We  hope  to  make  as  few  fines 
as  possible,"  Brooks  staled.  He  said 
officer  Minis'  first  job  is  to  en- 
force registration  of  all  college 
cars,  his  second  to  slop  campus 
parking  violations. 

Illegal  parking  results  in  a  $3 
fine  for  first  offense,  automatic 
two-week  driving  suspension  for 
second  offense  and  longer  suspen- 
sion for  added  offenses. 


by  hill  Edgar 
Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  by  iuvitutiou  of  the  Williams  Lecture 
Committee,  former  ambassador  to  tlie  Soviet  Union  Georj^e  F. 
Kennan  will  spealc  in  Chapin  Hall  next  Monday  evening  at  8:15. 
His  topic;  "Lenin,  Wilson,  and  the  Intervening  Years." 

Career  di])lomat  Kennan,  an  expert  in  Russian  affairs,  is  pres- 
ently with  Princeton's  Institute  for  Advanced  Study.  Behind  him 
is  an  iniijressi\e  career  as  a  writer,  a  representative  of  the  United 
States  in  many  countries,  and  as  one  of  tlie  most  influential  pohcy 
makers  ui  the  State  Department  during  tlie  difficult  cold-war  years 
since  World  War  11. 

Apijoiiited  ambassador  to  the  Soviet  Union  m  May,  1952,  Mr. 
Keiman  hoped  that  Russia's 
"peace  offensive"  of  that  time  was 
more  than  empty  propaganda.  He 
was  greeted  in  Moscow,  however, 
by  a  violent  "hate  America"  cam- 
paign, and  his  efforts  were  finally 
frustrated  when  Stalin  demanded 
his  recall  in  September  of  that 
same  year. 

"Containment" 
Mr.  Kennan's  hopes  were  based 
on  the  apparent  success  of  the 
State  Department's  policy  of  "con- 
tainment" of  Soviet  pressure  on 
the  Western  World.  Under  the 
pseudonym  "Mr.  X",  in  a  1947 
edition  of  "Foreign  Affairs",  Mr. 
Kennan  outlined  this  poUcy.  Since 
then,  it  has  been  the  basis  for 
much  of  America's  diplomatic 
strategy,  including  the  North  At- 
lantic Treaty  Organization. 

Construi;tive  exchange  of  opin- 
ion between  East  and  West,  said 
Mr.  Kennan  in  this  article,  is  im- 
possible. The  leaders  of  the  Soviet 
regime  "are  unamenable  to  argu- 
ment or  reason , .  from  outsi'le 
sources".  The  West  can  only  hope 
to  check  further  Russian  advances 
until  Russia  co-operates  or  col- 
lapses. 

Theory  into  Practice 
After  his  appointment  in  1947 
to  Secretary  of  State  George  Mar- 
shall's Policy  Committee,  Mr.  Ken- 
nan put  his  theory  into  practice. 
The  post  was  that  of  a  diplomatic 
chief  of  staff,  and  he  became  the 
State  Department's  leading  policy- 
maker in  the  fight  against  Com- 
munism. 

In  1952,  when  Mr.  Kennan  was 
one  of  Secretary  of  State  Dean 
Acheson's  chief  advisers,  the  policy 
of  containment  seemed  to  have 
been  successful.  Stalin  had  launch- 
ed a  "peace  offensive"  with  pro- 
posals for  German  unification  and 
international  trade  conferences. 

When  the  post  of  ambassador  to 
Russia  was  vacated,  Mr.  Keiman 
was  appointed.  He  spoke  Russian 
fluently  and  had  spent  five  years 
in  the  American  embassey  in  Mos- 
cow as  a  counselor  under  ambas- 
sador Averill  Harriman. 
He  arrived  at  Moscow's  Unokovo

Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  Paced  with 
the  reality  of  expanding  economy 
and  subsequent  increased  patron- 
age, the  Williamstown  Savings 
Bank  announced  plans  this  sum- 
mer for  construction  of  a  new 
colonial  type  business  home  be- 
low Currier  Hall  on  Main  Street. 
Bidding  will  take  place  on  Octo- 
ber 1  at  the  old  bank,  after  which 
construction  will  begin  as  quickly 
as  possible. 

Completion  of  the  red  brick,  one 
and  one  half  story  structure  is 
expected  by  spring  or  early  sum- 
mer next  year.  The  architect  un- 
der contract  for  the  job  is  Oswald 
C.  Vachon  of  Holyoke. 

Demolition   Progresses 

Demolition  of  two  frame  build- 
ings on  the  new  bank  site,  former- 
ly known  as  the  Sherman  property, 
started  on  September  15,  David 
McNab  Deans,  contractor,  was 
awarded  the  razing  contract.  Six 
business  firms  were  moved  lo  new 
locations. 

The  area  will  be  completely  lev- 
eled and  cleared  before  the  Octo- 
ber 1  bidding.  An  early  jump  on 
Berkshire's  fickle  weather  is  an- 
ticipated by  bank  officials  who 
hope  to  occupy  their  new  quarters 
on  the  planned  date. 

Williamstown   National   Bank 

The  Williamstown  Savings  Bank 
is  at  present  located  with  the 
Williamstown  National  Bank  on 
Spring  Street  in  the  National 
Bank's  building  opposite  the  post 
office.  The  imderlying  need  for 
additional  space  both  Inside  and 
out  prompted  the  move. 

The  new  location  will  provide 
space  for  parking  and  future  ex- 
pansion. The  Williamstown  Na- 
tional Bank  will  expand  into  the 
vacated  Savings  Bank  quarters.

Burns  Believes  Democrats  Have 
Even  Chance  in  Berkshire  County 

by  Steve  Rose 

Tuesday,  Sent.  25  -  In  a  RECORD  interview,  Professor  James 
Burns  of  the  Political  Science  department,  now  on  a  year's  sab- 
batical leave,  estimated  today  that  tlie  Democrats  have  "pretty 
much  of  a  fifty-fifty  chance"  of  carrying  Berkshire  County  this 
No\ember.  Mr.  Burns,  author  of  tlie  current  best  seller  "Roosevelt: 
Tlie  Lion  and  the  Fox",  is  co-chairman  of  the  Berkshire  County 
Ste\enson  cainiiaign.  He  also  announced  a  "big  kick-off  rally"  to 
lie  held  in  the  Wendell-Sherwood  Hotel  in  Pittsfield  this  Friday 
at  S  P.  M. 

Mr.  Burns  feels  that  Massachusetts  is  a  "pivotal  state"  in  tliis 
year's  presidential  race  and  that  a  Democratic  victory  could  de- 
pend heavily  on  ballotting  in  the  Pittsfield-North  Adams  area.  In 
reply  to  the  question  of  whether  Mr.  Burns  intends  to  eventually 
run  for  Congress  against  the  well-entrenched  Republican  Repre- 
sentative from  this  district,  John  Hesclton,  tlie  young  professor 
stated  tliat  there  have  been  "rumors"  to  thi.s  effect  for  several  years. 
"I  have  no  such  plans  at  the  moment,"  he  said. 
Burtis  on  Ike 

Concerning  the  presidential  race,  Mr.  Burns  feels,  "as  a 
political  scientist",  that  "one  of  the  great  issues  in  this  campaign 
is  having  a  jiresident  who  exerts  the  kind  of  leadership  absolutely 
vital  to  a  strong  American  democracy.  I  feel  that  Eisenhower,  both 
because  of  temperament  and  the  questionable  state  of  his  health, 
is  not  as  good  a  bet  as  Stevenson  for  the  next  four  years. 

Mr.  Burns  continued,  "The  possibility  of  having  Nixon  succeed 
to  the  presidency  is  a  chilling  one  because  Nixon's  views,  to  the  ex- 
tent that  we  kniow  them,  tend  to  range  between  boundaries  marked 
by  opportunism  and  reaction,"

A   Drift   Into   Danger 

It  is  (iiiite  conceivable  that  Williams  will  soon  be  one  of  the 
only  colleges  in  the  country  without  a  yearbook.  Althouj^h  the 
RECORD  strongly  believes  in  individualism,  tliis  is  an  absiiidty 
negative  way  for  a  college  to  gain  recognition.  One  can  easily 
scoff  at  the  value  of  a  yearbook  but  in  more  reflecti\e  inonient.s, 
and  esijccially  in  later  years,  a  yearbook  emerges  as  something  of 
lasting  value. 

In  order  to  gain  a  better  imderstandiiig  of  the  problem,  con- 
sideration should  be  given  to  the  past  financial  standing  of  the 
Gul.  In  1954,  the  yearbook  accumulated  a  debt  amounting  to 
$600.  This  was  rej^eated  again  in  1956.  The  Student  Actixities 
Council  agreed  last  year  to  float  a  loan  in  order  to  keep  the  or- 
ganization operatng  this  year.  What  is  most  disarming  is  that  the 
prospects  of  gaining  a  i^rofit  or  breaking  e\en  ajjpear  to  border  on 
the  iinpossible.  As  a  result  the  S.'VC  will  not  be  paid  off  and  the 
Gul  will  have  to  search  for  some  other  source  of  income  since  the 
SAC  does  not  have  the  funds  to  pay  the  yearly  debt. 

The  RECORD,  realizing  the  importance  of  a  yearbook  on 
this  campus  and  understanding  the  enormous  sacrifices  made  by 
the  Gul  staff  recommends  that  the  college  take  immediate  action. 
The  solution  is  twofold:  1-  ha\'e  every  student  billed  $5  apiece,  2- 
allow  the  SAC  to  place  an  additional  ta.\  of  $2.50  on  e\ery  student 
and  compel  the  Gid  board  to  sell  the  book  at  $4  a  copy.  The  re- 
sultant jjrofit  should  be  )5roportioned  to  1-  pay  off  the  SAC  loan, 
2-  financially  reward  the  endeavors  of  the  Gul  staff,  3-  a  scholar- 
ship fund. 

Either  solution  would  permit  the  Gul  to  once  again  obtain 
quality  com|5ets  and  free  it  from  financial  worries.  Tlie  RECORD 
has  full  intentions  of  seeing  that  a  solution  is  arrived  at  before  the 
Gid  drifts  unnoticeably  off  the  college  scene.  The  college  must  act, 
and  act  immediately.

"BHOWANI  JUNCTION"  shapes  up  as  a  top-flighl  Saturday 
night  bet,  mainly  because  it  makes  moic  than  full  use  of  .Vva  (Jard- 
ner's  ample  talents.  Date-lumgrv  Ephs  should  fullv  appreciate  the 
apparently-inspired  camera  tre:itineut  aceoixled  Miss  Gardner's  ob- 
vious attributes  which,  for  many,  may  well  tmn  out  to  be  worth  the 
price  of  admission  alone. 

The  well-constructed  plot,  a  little  on  the  entert:iiniiigly  com- 
|5le.\  side,  invobes  basically  the  |)ost-war  tensions  between  India 
ami  Britain  over  granting  the  former  its  independence.  The  ])lot 
is  patriotically  thickened  by  (lommunist  infiltration  overtoni's. 

More  specifically,  and  certainly  of  more  interest  to  lliek-lol- 
lowing  Ephs  (even  tlie  history  majors)  should  be  the  complicated 
love  affair  between  the  appealing  Miss  Gardner,  a  .sort  of  British- 
Indian  half-breed,  and  the  astute  Stewart  Granger,  a  British  army 
officer,  whose  brilliantly-greyed  temples  add  a  touch  of  techni-eol- 
oied  distinction  to  the  whole  thing. 

Also  highlighting  die  movie  is  some  sitiister  cloak-and-dagger 
work  with  a  few  juicy  minders  addetl  for  S])ice.  A  binge-like  side 
lo\'e  affair  for  Miss  Gardtier,  and  the  best  train  wreck  since  "The 
Greatest  Show  on  Earth";  all  of  which  should  satisfy  even  the 
most  thrill-seeking  E|)h,  no  matter  what  his  tastes. 

But  when  the  smoke  has  cleared,  the  \illains  ap|)reheuded 
and  Stewart  conies  through  in  true  Granger  style  to  win  the  hand 
(and  attached  ajipropriate  portions)  ol  the  heroine,  it  is  Miss 
Gardner's,  nh,  personality  which  stands  out  from  all  else.  In  fact 
this  movie  displays  her  in  such  fine  fettle  as  to  prompt  one  poor 
frosh,  in  obvious  agony,  to  groan,  "1  woiddn't  mind  being  a  wall- 
flower if  I  had  A\a  to  be  my  gardner". 

To  those  whose  tastes  don't  (piite  run  to  A\a  Gardner,  if  such 
can  be  imagined  among  true-blooded  Williams  men,  the  Mohawk 
offers  a  double-bill  of  well-aged  \intage  which  may  attract  its 
share  of  patrons. 

"TOBACCO  ROAD",  an  adajitation  of  iMskine  Caldwell's 
best-selling  book,  (the  Broadway  adaptation  of  which  enjoyed 
tremendous  success)  is  a  racy  portrayal  of  poor  southern  farm-life. 
The  flick  stars  Gene  Tierney  and  Dana  Andrews. 

John  Steinback's  academv-award  winning  "GRAPES  OF 
WRATH"  eomiilements  die  noteworthy  fare.  |;ine  Darwell  comes 
up  with  an  O.scar-copping  performance,  while  both  Henry  Fonda 
and  John  Carradine  do  outstanding  jobs.  The  ])lot  concerns  the 
depression  migration  from   Oklahoma  to  the  West  (^oast.

FOOTBALL:  ITS  CAUSE  AND  CURE 

At  next  Saturday's  football  trame,  while  ymi  are  .sitting 
in  your  choice  .student's  .scat  nil  the  ten-yard  line,  won't 
you  jjive  a  thought  to  Alarie  Sigafoos? 

Who,  you  a.sk,  is  Alarie  Sigafoos?  Come  closer,  .sit 
down,  liglit  a  I'liili])  Morris,  savor  that  natural  toliacco 
goodness,  sigh  contentedly,  cross  your  fat  little  legs,  and 
listen. 

Alarie  Sigafoos  (18G8-10:M )  started  life  humbly  on  a 
farm  near  Thud,  Kansas.  His  niollior  and  father,  both 
named  Kaliih,  were  heiin-gleaners,  and  Alarie  became  a 
bean-gleaner  too.  But  he  soon  tired  of  the  work  and  went 
to  Memphis  where  he  got  a  .job  with  a  logging  firm.  Here 
the  ex-hean-gleaner  worked  as  a  stiunp-thumper.  Then 
he  drifted  to  Texas  where  he  tidied  np  oil  fields  (i)i))o- 
wiper).  Then  to  Arizona  where  he  strung  dried  frait 
(fig-rigger).  Then  to  Virginia  where  he  was  a  research 
assistant  I  hook-looker).  Then  to  Long  Island  where  he 
dressed  poultry  (duek-pluckerl.  Then  to  Califm'nia  where 
he  lectured  young  women  who  were  aliout  to  get  married 
(bride-chider).  Then  to  Minnesota  where  he  cut  np  frozen 
lakes  (ice-slicer).  Then  to  Nevada  where  he  determined 
the  odds  in  a  gamhling  house  (dieo-pricer).  Then  to 
Milwaukee  where  he  pasted  camera  lense.s  together 
(Zeiss-splicer). 

Finally  he  went  to  Omaha  where  he  got  a  .job  in  a 
tannery,  heating  pig-hides  until  they  were  soft  and  supple 
(hog-fiogger).   Here  he  found  happiness  at  last. 


<-^ 


^e^mid  tdppineiiJi  ku— 


Why,  you  ask,  did  he  find  happiness  at  last  as  a  hog- 
flogger?  Light  another  firm  and  fragrant  Philip  Morris, 
taste  that  true  tobacco  fiavor,  pafT,  relax,  let  .sweet  lassi- 
tude pos.sess  your  limbs,  and  listen. 

Next  door  to  the  hog-floggery  was  an  almond  grove 
owned  by  a  girl  named  C:himera  PInirick.  Chimera  ^vaa 
pink  and  white  and  marvelously  hinged,  and  Alarie  was 
hopelessly  in  love  the  moment  he  clapped  eyes  on  her. 
Each  day  he  came  to  the  almond  grove  to  woo  Chimera, 
but  to  no  avail.  He  tried  with  all  his  vigor  and  guile, 
but  she,  alas,  stayed  cool. 

Then  one  day  Alarie  got  a  brilliant  idea.  It  wasi  the 
day  before  the  annual  Omaha  Almond  Festival.  On  thhs 
day,  as  we  all  know,  every  almond  grower  in  Omaha 
enters  a  fioat  in  the  big  parade.  The  lloats  always  consist 
of  large  cardboard  almonds  hanging  from  large  cardboard 
almond  trees. 

Alarie's  inspiration  was  to  .stitch  pieces  of  pig.skin 
together  and  indate  them  until  thev  looked  like  big, 
plump  almonds.  "The.se  sure  heat  skinny  old  cardboard 
almonds,"  ,said  Alarie  to  himself.  "Tomorrow  they  will 
surely  take  first  prize  for  Chimera,  and  she  vill  be  mine !" 

Early  the  next  morning  Alarie  came  running  to 
Chimera  with  his  innated  pigskin  almonds,  but  she,  alas, 
told  him  she  was  not  entering  a  float  that  year.  In  fact, 
she  had  just  sold  her  almimd  grove  and  was  moving  East 
to  try  out  with  the  Boston  Red  Sox. 

Alarie,  upon  hearing  these  glum  tidings,  flew  into  a 
violent  rage.  He  started  kicking  his  pigskin  almonds  all 
over  the  place.  And  who  should  be  walking  by  at  that 
very  instant  but  Abner  Doubleday! 

Mr.  Doubleday,  who  had  invented  baseball  some  years 
earlier,  was  now  trying  to  invent  football,  but  without 
success.  The  trouble  was,  he  couldn't  figure  out  what  kind 

V.  v,  u"'""'  '!*""'  •■""''"'^  ^'■•"•'c  •<•<•><  the  pigskin 
spheroids,  his  problem  was  suddenly  .solved.  "Eureka!" 
he  cried,  and  ran  to  his  drawing  board,  and  the  re.st  is 

liistory!

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  SATURDAY,  SEPTEMBER  29,  1956 


College  Chaplain  Advises  Students 
Dating  Is  Not  Preparation,  But  Life 

The  jollowiii'^  ate  excerpts  jrom  i'hujthnn  Cole's  article  in  the 
September  issue  of  liitercolk-giaii,  eiilitlcil  "Your  Date  —  A  Munij- 
Splendered  Thin^i'" 

Kcueii  Honioy,  a  well-known  |)sychoaiialyst,  characterized 
human  beinj^s  as  nio\ini;  toward  people,  moviiij^  afjainst  people, 
and  moving  away  from  people.  All  of  us  do  all  tliri'e  on  occasion, 
but  each  of  us  is  inclined  to  one  of  these  orientations  more  than 
to  the  other  two. 

The  most  intimate  personal  relation  into  which  wc  enter  is 
•narriaj^e,  and  all  our  college  relations  with  nienibers  of  (he  op- 
posite se.\  are  in  a  sense  preludes  "to  the  swelling  act  ol  the  im- 
perial theme".  The  co-ed  who  measines  a  prospective  date  in 
terms  of  the  car  he  drives,  the  amount  of  money  he  can  spend  on 
her,  and/or  the  status  he  enjoys  on  caMpus  is  (piite  likclv  to  he- 
come  a  wife  who  expects  her  hushan'.  to  fulfill  hi'r  every  wish. 

Your  every  word  and  deed  sjjrings  from  the  totalitv  of  your 
personality  and  in  turn  makes  its  mark  upon  that  totalitv.  Failuri' 

to  understand  this  fact lies  behind  the  tragic  naivete  of 

college  men  who  regard  visits  to  houses  of  prostitution  as  casually 
as  taking  a  shower. 

A  similar  observation  could  be  made  about  the  cam])us  "wolf" 
who  does  not  pay  for  his  jjleasure  but  secures  it  by  seduction.  He 
is  treating  persons  as  things,  as  bodies  to  be  ex])loited  for  his  |iur- 
poses.  It  does  not  take  many  years  for  such  an  attitude  to  extend 
itself  to  his  competitors  in  business,  his  employers  or  employees, 
his  friends,  even  his  wife  and  children. 

It  is  ])erfectly  natural  and  normal  that  we  should  experience 
sexual  thoughts  and  desires.  No  one  need  feel  guilty  about  these. 
But  it  is  not  necessary  to  act  upon  our  every  inijiidse.  That  is  in- 
fantile behavioiu',  marking  obvious  immaturity.  The  ))erson  who  is 
grown  up  is  able  to  endure  considerable  frustration,  esi)ecially  if 
it  is  self-im|50sed  for  the  sake  of  a  larger  f^ood. 

You  may  have  done  all  sorts  of  things  of  which  von  are  asham- 
ed. Most  of  us  ha\'e.  You  may  heartilv  dislike  nianv  aspects  of  the 
self  you  now  are.  Most  of  us  do.  But  what  are  you  doinjj  about  it? 
Do  you  engage  in  periodic  agonies  of  repentance  and  self-recrim- 
ination, make  solemn  resolutions  to  mend  voiu'  wa\'s,  and  then  ))ro- 
ceed  as  before?  Or  do  you  rationalize  your  actions,  discard  your 
moral  standards  on  the  rubbish  i 
heap,   and   comfort  yourself   with 


Kennan  .  .  . 

Airport  late  In  May  Willi  what  a 
New  Yorker  correspondent  called 
"a  hunch  that  there  had  been 
some  important  changes  in  Stal- 
in's view  of  the  world  since  the 
war  ended  and  that  there  were 
likely  to  be  more  in  the  future." 

Frustration 

Because  of  his  considerable 
knowledge  of  Soviet  affairs,  he  was 
quite  -skeptical  of  the  possibility 
for  peace.  Yet  he  left  with  "the 
feeling  that  the  tensions  in  the 
world  were  not  entirely  Irreduci- 
ble". The  situation  turned  out 
much  worse  than  expected. 

He  was  shocked  by  claims  In 
the  Soviet  press  that  "cannibalis- 
tic American  imperialism"  plan- 
ned to  eliminate  700  million 
people  In  Europe  and  Asia  with  a 
program  of  war,  starvation,  and 
disease.  He  had  no  chance  to  con- 
fer privately  with  Russian  offi- 
cials, and  was  prohibited  by  law 
to  speak  to  a  Russian  in  the  street.

Communist  Party  that  autumn, 
Stalin  declared  that  Russia  would 
openly  export  revolution  to  other 
nations,  and  his  "peace  offensive" 
seemed  to  be  over. 

Recall 

While  traveling  to  a  conference 
in  London,  Mr.  Kennan  said  in 
Berlin  in  September  that  the  ^life 
of  a  U.S.  diplomat  in  Russia  was 
no  better  than  that  in  Nazi  Ger- 
many, where  he  had  been  interned 
for  five  months  before  Pearl 
Harbor.  Stalin  immediately  de- 
manded that  the  State  Depart- 
ment recall  Mr.  Kennan,  and  Sec- 
retary Acheson  reluctantly  agreed. 

Commented  "Time"  magazine: 
"It  is  just  another  instance  where 
the  wishful  thinking  at  the  heart 
of  the  containment  policy  turned 
out  to  be  wrong."

more  than  satisfactory  service  for  my  four  years.  .  ." 

Frank  Rosenboch,  '55,  also  wrote:  "I  would  like  to  compliment 
'Rudnick's'  on  the  fine  job  you  have  done  in  my  past  four  years  at 
Williams.  It  is  too  bad  you  don't  have  some  branches  down  here  in 
Englewood,  N.  J.,  as  they  would  certainly  get  all  of  my  business."

Wesleyan  Debates 
'Open  Door'  Edict 

New  Rule  Would  Usurp 
Privileges  Of  Privacy 


Wednesday,  Oct.  3  -  The  Board 
of  fraternity  House  Presidents  of 
Wesleyan  University  has  been  serl 
Dusly  discussing  an  "open  door" 
policy  In  regards  to  all  rooms  dur 
Ing  social  functions.  According  to 
this  policy,  doors  in  fraternities 
and  dorms  must  be  left  open  dur- 
ing social  functions. 

The  Wesleyan  "Argus"  spoke  out 
Quite  sharply  against  this  propo- 
sal, claiming  that  it  was  inconsis- 
tent with  the  traditional  concep- 
tion of  Wesleyan  policy.  The  "Ar- 
Bus"  also  claimed  that  the  stu- 
dent body  had  had  very  little  to 
say  about  the  motion. 

The  Board  of  House  Presidents 
has  had  pressure  on  it  for  more 
than  a  year  to  tighten  up  social 
restrictions.  The  "Argus"  com- 
ments, "Just  how  great  this  pres- 
sure is,  or  what  the  groups 
exerting  It  would  offer  as  alter- 
natives to  the  present  system  has 
never  been  determined.  Instead, 
the  committee  from  the  BHP  has 
come  up  with  what  it  hopes  will 
appease  the  higher  ups. 


Dulles  to  Speak  at  Convocation; 
Baxter  Issues  Warning  to  Ephs 
Against  Political  Demonstrations 

Wcclnc-sday,  Oct.  3  -  .Sccrctiiry  of  Stiitc  |(ihii  Fo.ster  i:)iillcs' 
speech  ill  (^liiipiii  Ihill  Satunlav  will  mark  the  appearance  of  the 
liii;l,e.st-raiikhin  fjoverniiieiit  official  at  Williams  since  President 
ijicodoie  Roosevelt  spoke  here  hi  UX).5,  Williams  President  |anies 
r   Baxter,  III  said  today. 

According    to   President   Baxter^ 

I  miles  will  talk  on  aspects  of  for- 
I'lKH  affairs.  It  is  not  expected  to 
be  a  campaign  speech.  His  appear- 
,i!ice  will  climax  special  Williams 
College  convocation  ceremonies. 
(luring  which  he  will  be  awarded 
all  honorary  Doctor  of  Laws  de- 
RFOC.  Dulles  is  a  Princeton  gradu- 
iUe.  class  of  1908. 

Secretary  Dulles  is  .scheduled  to 
lurlve  by  charter  plane  at  North 
Adams  airport  Saturday  at  10:50 
a.m.  and  will  speak  in  Chapin  Hall 
.s.ion  thereafter.  He  will  board  his 
plane  fcr  the  return  trip  to  Wash- 
iiiB  .11.  D.C..  at  2:15  p.m.  All  plans 
are  s.ild  to  depend  on  develop- 
ments in  the  Suez  Canal  dispute, 
liowever. 

"Any  political  demonstration  at 
the  time  of  his  arrival  or  durini,' 
the  convocation  ceremonies  would 
be  a  display  of  obvious  bad  form," 
President  Baxter  remarked  to  the 
RECORD  today.  He  did  not  rule 
out  student  demonstrations  while 
Dulles  is  leaving. 

Two  other  men  will  also  receive 
honorary  degrees  Saturday,  Bax- 
ter said,  but  their  names  have  not 
been  released.  According  to  Bax- 
ter, the  college  feels  it  is  more  dig- 
nlfied  not  to  reveal  names  of  those 
to  receive  honorary  degrees  before 
their  presentation.  This  policy  was 
reversed  in  Dulles'  case  partly  be- 
cause Dulles  has  already  given  the 
information  to  Washington  news 
correspondents,  Baxter  comment- 
ed. 

In  checking  back  over  his  re- 
cords, Baxter  said  he  noted  a  great 
many  distinguished  men  have  been 
awarded  honorary  Williams  de- 
grees either  before  or  after  they 
held  high  office,  but  there  has 
been  no  one  since  Theodore  Roose- 
velt who  outranked  Dulles  while  In 
office.  President  Elsenhower  ac- 
cepted an  honorary  Doctor  of  Law- 
degree  in  June,  1948,  Baxter  said. 

Others  on  the  list  Include  Pre- 
sidents James  A.  Garfield,  Calvin

Tucker  Proposes 
Gargoyle  Agenda; 
Hits  Soph  Apathy 

Senior  Group  to  Probe 
Freshman  Integration, 
Campus  Government 


Ephs  Gain  Revenge  By  Easily  Humbling  Overrated  Trinity  Eleven 
With  Depth,  Sharp  Line  Play,  Powerful  Ground  Attack  Leading  Way 


Willlamstown,  Sept.  27  -  Jack 
Tucker,  President  of  Gargoyle,  a 
senior  honorary  society  dedicated 
to  bettering  various  aspects  of  col- 
lege life,  today  outlined  several 
objectives  which  he  hopes  to  bring 
up  for  discussion  tills  year.  Gar- 
goyle's formal  agenda  will  be 
drawn  up  in  a  future  meeting. 

Tucker  noted  three  major  trou- 
ble spots  on  the  Williams  Campus. 
He  hopes  to  investigate  the  intell- 
ectual apathy  of  Sophomores, 
Freshmen  orientation  and  integra- 
tion, and  the  effectiveness  of  col- 
lege government.  In  addition  to 
these.  Tucker  hopes  to  examine  the 
possibility  of  altering  the  present 
rules  concerning  compulsory  chap- 
el and  Saturday  classes.  These 
latter  have  been  termed  a  "sham" 
by  certain  faculty  members. 

Intellectual  Apathy 

Tucker  cited  several  examples 
of  sophomore  apathy  which  he  be- 
lieves is  most  prevalent  in  the 
Sophomore  year.  He  noted  the  lack 
of  enthusiasm  of  second-year  men 
for  extra-curricular  activities, 
which  Tucker  believes  is  an  essen- 
tial part  of  a  college  education. 
Tucker  also  noted  the  lack  of  in- 
terest, particularly  among  Sopho- 
mores, in  lectures  sponsored  by 
the  Lecture  Committee  and  Phi 
Beta  Kappa. 

Tucker  hopes  that  Gargoyle  will 
propose  steps  for  the  more  effec- 
tive integration  of  incoming  fresh- 
men into  the  many  facets  of  col- 
lege life.  Excessive  cutting  of  pre- 
college  orientation  meetings  is  one 
of  the  problems  which  must  be 
reckoned  with. 

CC  and   SC 

Regarding  the  problem  of  college 
government,  the  Gargoyle  Presi- 
dent feels  that  an  Investigation  of 
the  present  setup  of  College  and 
Social  Council  administration  is  in 
order.  There  is,  according  to  Tuck- 
er, "much  room  for  Improvement" 
there.  The  problem  of  rushing  will 
be  considered  as  well.  Gargoyle  has 
only  advisory  powers,  but  has  in 
the  past  exerted  much  Influence. 
Its  membership  is  self-perpetuat- 
ing and  is  limited  to  twenty  or 
less.  The  secret  society  is  now  In 
its  sixty-third  year.  There  are  now 
five  Gargoyle  alumni  on  the  facul- 
ty including  President  Baxter. 


Kennan  Addresses  Capacity  Crowd 
On  American  -  Soviet  Relationships 

1)1/  Hill  Edfipr 
Monday,  Oct.  1  -  Before  an  attentive  capacity  crowd  in  Cha- 
pin ilall  tonijrht,  former  ambassador  to  the  Sovet  Union  Georj^e  F. 
Kennan  described  the  "diametrically  conflicting  outlooks  on  the 
nature  of  mankind"  held  by  Lenin  and  Woodrow  Wilson  in  1918, 
and  commented  on  the  present  world  situation  which  has  evolved 
Iroin  these  outlooks.  Dressed  neatly  in  a  C()nservati\e  gray  suit, 
.\h.  Kennan  spoke  (piietly,  but  e.\pressed  his  ideas  with  authority, 
clarity  and  care. 

W'ikim  vs.  Lenin 

Mr.  Kennan  described  at  length  the  "tremendous  ])oiiits  of 
dilleieiices"  between  Wilson  and  Lenin.  Wilson's  pliilo.sophy  was 
characterized  by  the  Christian  belief  that  the  luiinan  soul  was  the 
theatre  ol  all  significant  lia])penings.  Lenin,  a  Marxist  materialist, 
belie\ed  that  the  interrelation  of  social  classes  was  basic  to  history. 

"Whereas  Wilson's  credo  related  to  eternal  things;   to  mans 
moral  responsibilitv  —  to  his  relations  with  his  God,  Lenin's  re- 
lateil  to  mundane  and  transitory  things:  above  all  to  the  social  and 
economic  arrangement  of  lininan  society." 
Tlic  'I'cut  of  Time 

Mr.  Kennan  claimed  that  ol  tile  two  conflicting  outloooks  in 
lUl.'/.  lA'iiins  matiTiallsm  was  "closer  to  the  pulse  of  the  future' 
tliaii  Uiison's  beliei  that  the  forces  of  good  in  a  man's  soul  could 
be  released  to  create  progress  and  per.sonal  happiness. 

But  more  important,  the  subsecpient  events  of  the  20th  Ceii- 
liirv  ha\<'  pro\en  the  "error  of  the  pretense  to  universality  that 
characterized  their  respective  views.  In  conclusion,  Mr.  Kciiiiaii 
described  the  philosophy  behind  his  famous  policy  of  co-existence 
and  containment,  based  on  an  understanding  of  this  error. 
Not  One  World 

"The  beginning  of  |)olitical  wi.sdom  for  Americans, "  said  Mr. 
Kennan,  "resides  in  the  recognition  that  despite  the  important  ele- 
ments of  unity  in  the  nature  and  experience  of  mankind,  there  are 
many  inii)ortant  respects  in  which  this  is  decidedly  not  one  world." 

To  lia\e  a  realistic  appro.ich  to  world  ijroblems,  Americans 
must  nnderstand  that  "there  can  be  differing  and  even  diametri- 
cally conflicting  outlooks  on  the  nature  of  man;  and  that  each  of 
these  may  have  its  own  inevitability,  its  legitimacy,  and  an  equal 
respectability  before  the  face  of  hstory.  .  .  ." 
To  Sdcc  rroni  the  Sluulows 

Formerly  a  toi5  State  Department  policy  advisor  and  an  ex- 
pert on  Soviet  affairs,  Mr.  Kennan  affirmed  that  "any  realistic  ef- 
lort  to  s;i\e  the  world  from  the  shadows  that  grow  upon  it  as  the 
\ear  iy.5(j  a])proaches  its  close  will  have  to  be  founded  on  a  sterner 
iiiul  less  favorable  \iew  of  human  nature"  than  that  embodied  in 
Wilson's  propo-sed  League  of  Nations  in  1918. 

Mr.  Kennan  was  feted  by  the  student  and  faculty  members 
of  the  Williams  Lecture  Committee  with  cocktails  and  dinner.  He 
answered  (|uestioiis  in  the  Rathskellar  after  his  lecture. 


BULLETIN 


Monday,  Oct.  1  -  Following  a 
special  meeting  of  the  CC-SC 
Rushing  Committee  held  tliis 
evening,  Dick  Repp  '57,  Chair- 
man, revealed  that  the  Phi  Sig- 
ma Kappa  Fraternity  had  been 
placed  on  social  probation  com- 
mencing Wednesday,  October 
3rd,  and  lasting  through  Thurs- 
day, November  29th,  for  em- 
ploying the  use  cf  illegal  rush- 
ing tactics.  The  committee 
termed  the  evidence  against  the 
Phi  Sigs  "incontrovertible"  and 
"overwhelming"  and  stated  that 
at  least  five  members  of  the 
fraternity  took  part  in  the  vio- 
lations of  the  Rushing  Agree- 
ment. Social  probation  bars  all 
female  guests  from  the  frater- 
nity with  the  exception  of  mem- 
bers of  an  active's  family.  Or- 
ganized parties  are  also  out- 
lawed. The  unanimous  decision 
was  handed  down  by  Bob  Ause

Phi  Delta  Local  Rejoins  National 
As  Convention  Drops  Aryan  Rule 

Wednesdav,  October  3  -  The  Williams  College  chapter  of  Phi 
Delta  Theta  fraternty,  suspended  by  the  national  fraternity  and 
commended  bv  the  Massachusetts  Legislature  for  pledging  a  Jew- 
ish student  In '1952,  has  rejoined  O. 
the  national  organization.  ! 

Phi  Delta  Theta  Executive  Sec- 
retary Robert  J.  Miller  said  la.st 
week  that  the  suspension  of  the 
Williams  chapter  was  lifted  at  the 
fraternity's  biennial  national  con- 
vention, held  in  Boulder,  Colorado, 
in  August. 

At  the  same  time,  Mr.  Miller 
said  the  so-called  "Aryan  Clause" 
limiting  membership  to  white  "Ar- 
yans," was  dropped  from  the  fra- 
ternity's constitution.  Substituted 
was  a  new  clause  specifying  that 
"men  acceptable  to  other  chapters 
(are)  eligible  for  membership.  The 
fraternity  has  115  chapters  in  43 
states  and  six  Canadian  provinces. 
Resignation  Declined 

The  Williams  chapter  incurred 
the  displeasure  of  the  national  or- 
ganization in  1952,  when  it  refused 
to  "de-pledge"  the  Jewish  student. 
A  suspension,  effective  for  four 
years,  was  imposed  by  the  national 
organization,  and  the  Williams 
chapter's  resignation  from  the  na- 
tional was  declined. 

The  organization  continued  to 
operate  on  the  Williams  campus  as 
"the  order  of  Phi  Delta",  a  local 
fraternity.  Of  the  48  current  mem- 
bers, all  but  one  are  members  only 
of  the  local  organization.  Chapter 
President  William  E.  Gould  '57, 
who  was  absent  In  the  service  for 
two  years,  is  the  only  member  who 
was  initiated  under  the  old  na- 
tional affiliation.  He  said  that  the 
other  members  would  be  Initiated 
into  the  national  soon.

At  Yale'-  Griswold

New  Haven,  Sept.  29  -  President 
A.  Whitney  Griswold  of  Yale  Uni- 
versity today  squelched  as  "hy- 
pothetical" and  "a  tempest  in  a 
teapot"  the  question  of  possible 
co-education  at  Yale.  "There  is 
not  the  remotest  possibility  of  Its 
taking  place  at  Yale  within  the 
forseeable  future,"  he  asserted. 

The  Yale  President  explained 
that  a  "hypothetical  question"  re- 
garding co-education  "has  been 
exaggerated  out  of  all  proportion  to 
its  original  context.  Not  only  do 
our  present  obligations  and  needs 
preclude  such  development  but  we 
are  far  from  convinced  that  it 
would  be  the  right  course  of  ac- 
tion." 

"Not  a  Proposal" 

Dr.  William  C.  De  Vane,  Dean 
of  the  Yale  undergraduate  school, 
stated  that  "it  may  be  that  co- 
education will  be  the  rule  rather 
than  the  exception  in  the  future 
and  we  cannot  afford  to  close  our 
eyes  to  this  possibility,  but  it  is 
such  a  remote  one  at  Yale  that  it 
must  for  some  time  remain  within 
the  realm  of  theory  and  opinion. 
It  is  not  a  proposal  for  current 
action." 

The  "Yale  Daily  News",  jubilant 
over  President  Griswold's  firm  dec- 
laration, pleaded,  "Oh  save  us  from 
giggling  crowds,  the  domestic  lec- 
ture and  home  economics  classes 

". . .  and  their  Husbands" 

"We  were  saved,"  said  the  News. 
"and  we  will  not  spend  our  twen- 
ty-fifth reunion  drinking  with 
overweight  matrons  and  their  hus- 
bands, who  went  to  Hofstra.  And 
the  library  stacks  will  not  be  in- 
door lovers'  lanes,  and  Mory's  on 
Filday  afternoons  will  not  be  the 
scene  of  chattering  bridge  parties." 

Meanwhile  in  Easton,  Pa.,  at  La- 
fayette College,  1500  male  students 
were  busily  adjusting  themselves 
to  the  prospect  of  attending  classes 
with  Lafayette's  first  co-ed  stu- 
dent in  125  years.  The  only  draw- 
back: she  Is  married. 

Pretty,  blonde  Carol  Hirsch  ob- 
tained last  minute  permission  from 
college  authorities  to  attend  all- 
male  classes  to  be  with  her  newly- 
wed  husband. 


By   Chet   Lasell 

Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  Williams 
football  fortunes  reached  their 
highest  level  in  recent  years  this 
afternoon  on  the  same  field  where 
the  Purple  had  been  humiliated, 
38-0,  only  two  seasons  ago.  Today 
the  Ephs  gained  their  revenge  by 
crushing  the  oven'ated  Trinity 
Hilltoppers,  46-7,  to  snap  the  home 
team's  winning  streak  at  fifteen 
straight  games.  It  was  Williams' 
highest  point  total  since  a  smash- 
ing 48-0  triumph  over  Tufts  in 
1951. 

Coach  Len  Watters  utilized  the 
two  platoon  system  to  full  advan- 
tage as  the  Purple  scored  at  least 
once  in  each  period.  With  the  two 
Williams  lines  consistently  open- 
ing large  holes  in  the  Trinity  for- 
ward wall,  Eph  backs  had  little 
trouble  in  racking  up  an  over- 
whelming total  of  455  yards  gain- 
ed rushing.  On  defense,  the  Purple 
held  the  supposedly  powerful  Hill- 
topper  running  attack  to  a  mere 
71  yards.  However,  the  home  team 
was  able  to  complete  6  of  21  passes 
for  126  yards  and  its  only  touch- 
down 

Potter    Scores   Twice 

After  the  ball  had  changed 
hands  several  times  in  the  first 
quarter,  Williams  started  a  sus- 
tained 76  yard  march.  With  two 
minutes  left  in  the  period,  full- 
back Joel  Potter  plunged  over 
from  the  three.  His  conversion 
made  the  .score  7-0.  Early  in  the 
second  quarter.  Potter  scored  a- 
galn,  this  time  on  a  line  buck  from 
five  yards  out.  The  try  for  the 
point-after  hit  the  crossbar. 

Ti'inity  registered  its  lone  touch- 
down of  the  day  midway  through 
the  second  period  on  a  freak  40- 
yard  pass  play  from  sophomore 
quarterback  Ron  Reopel  to  co-cap- 
tain Sam  Niness.  Eph  halfback

Eph  Student  Cleared 
Of  Drink  Violation 


College  Restaurant  Case 
Taken  to  Local  Court 


Wednesday,  Oct.  3  -  David  W. 
Jayne,  III  '58,  was  found  not  guilty 
of  recently  procuring  intoxicating 
beverages  by  fraudulently  repre- 
senting his  age.  The  trial  last  week 
was  in  the  local  court  of  Judge 
Samuel  E.  Levine  who  has  called 
for  a  crackdown  on  violations  of 
the  intoxicating  beverages  laws  in 
Willlamstown. 

Jayne,  who  is  19,  was  alleged  to 
have  obtained  beer  in  the  College 
Restaurant  on  Spring  Street  on 
June  2  of  this  year.  He  was  picked 
up  in  front  of  the  Sig  Phi  house 
at  that  time.  Upon  his  return  to 
Williams  this  fall  he  was  served 
with  a  warrant. 

Jayne's  Testimony 

Jayne  testified  in  court  that  he 
had  not  been  served  any  beer  by 
any  employe  of  the  restaurant,  but 
had  been  given  the  beer  by  a  fel- 
low student  who  was  old  enough  to 
purchase  it.  He  claimed  he  had 
told  the  investigating  officer  that 
he  had  shown  the  employe  a  draft 
card  belonging  to  another  student, 
who  was  of  age,  because  he 
thought  this  would  protect  the 
owner  of  the  restaurant. 

Jayne's  testimony  was  corrabor- 
ated  by  William  B.  Phelps,  ni  '57. 
His  lawyer  was  Atty.  Benjamin  Ap- 
kin.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  3,  1956 


Record  Rushing  Poll 


Collegiate  Cyclists  Clog  Campuses; 
Eli  Youths  Renew  Beer  Bike  Race 


Now  that  the  pressure  is  off  the  u)5per  three  classes,  the 
RECORD  has  taken  a  representative  poll  of  the  student  body's 
oiiuiion  of  the  new  rushing  system.  26(3  Sojihomores  (larticipated 
ill  rusliinj;.  Of  these  239  pledged  fraternities,  15  refused  their  fi- 
nal bids,  and  twelve  "bounced"  out  of  the  system.  Eleven  houses 
filled  their  (|uotas  and  the  rest  will  replenish  their  pledge  delega- 
tions during  the  post-rushing  period. 

Frankie  Thorns,  Rushing  Arbiter,  stated  diat  the  new  system 
"does  not  offer  much  improvement  over  last  year's  system."  He 
pointed  out  that  there  was  still  an  iiiieciual  distribution  of  ]5ledges 
among  the  various  houses.  Dick  Repp,  Chairman  of  the  Rushing 
Committee,  feels  that  it  is  too  early  to  make  any  ]ironouiicemeiits 
on  the  committee's  new  system.  But  he  did  state  that  he  "doesn't 
think  the  advantages  of  the  new  system  offset  the  time  and  work- 
required  to  accomjilish  it".  He  did  cite  that  lliere  has  been  no  ineii- 
tion  of  the  so-called  ilk'j;al  or  "dirty"  rushing  that  was  e.xperienced 
last  year.  But  he  ijointod  that  there  was  a  greater  consciousness 
of  its  prevention.  He  finally  said  that  only  a  thorough  study  and 
the  results  of  another  year  could  prove  the  advantages  or  disad- 
vantages of  this  system. 

Freshmen  Rtishinf^ 

Tom  Hertel  '59  holds  the  belief  that  rushing  should  be  held 
at  the  end  of  freshman  year.  Of  the  present  system  Herter  said 
that  it  was  "very  acceptable".  He  felt,  however,  that  more  time 
should  be  alloted  per  period  as  "40  minutes  wasn't  enough  to  al- 
low close  inspection  of  the  houses  and  the  house  could  not  get  a 
good  look  at  the  rushees." 

Mac  Hassler  '59  also  felt  that  the  system  this  year  was  "fair- 
ly satisfactory".  The  system  is  "uncivilized  for  a  small  minority", 
and  the  fraternities  should  try  to  get  as  many  pledges  as  possible. 
These  evils  arc  unavoidable  and  the  system  shouldn't  be  blamed; 
"as  selectivity  is  always  going  to  leave  a  few  out." 

System  Praised 

Jack  Tucker,  President  of  Gargoyle  Society,  felt  that  the  sys- 
tem is  improvement.  He  suggested  that  another  day  should  be 
made  in  rushing  to  allow  the  mechanics  of  rushing  work  more 
smootbly.  Tucker  pointed  out  that  Dick  Repp  did  a  fine  job  and 
that  the  system  generally  showed  great  potentialities. 

An  interesting  comment  was  given  by  a  Freshman  exchange 
student,  Karl  Valtiala,  from  Finland.  It  is  a  "mighty  good  system" 
stated  Valtiala,  but  "Freshmen  should  be  allowed  also  ancl  there 
should  be  what  you  call  total  opportunity".  Valtiala  injected  an 
interesting  point  concerning  the  mechanics  of  rushing.  Tliey 
"should  hire  a  IBM  machine  to  aid  the  men.  The  work  is  too  ex- 
hausting for  such  few  people." 

Room  For  Improvement 

Larry  Nilsen,  President  of  the  class  of  '58,  feels  that  poten- 
tially the  system  is  satisfactory.  "We  will  have  to  iron  out  many 
wrinkles,  such  as  the  'bounce  session'  before  the  pref.  periods. 
The  siib-pref.  period  must  also  be  included  which  "will  correct 
some  of  the  fallacies  of  this  year's  rushing."  Nilsen  preferred  this 
year's  system  to  last  year's,  as  the  present  one  gave  some  indica- 
tion of  the  rushees  position  in  a  particular  house  and  gave  the 
fraternities  an  idea  of  the  men  interested  in  their  respective  houses. 


bi/  Jue  Borus 
According  to  a  recent  ]Hiblication  of  the  Bicycle  Institute  ol 
America,  "a  new  cycling  vogue  is  sweeping  the  American  camiius 
this  year."  The  fact  that  many  colleges  have  active  cycling  clubs 
ami  that  one  even  sponsors  a  course  in  "cycle-ology"  devoted  to 
bikes  is  cited  as  evidence  of  this  trend.  In  addition,  more  and 
more  schools  are  establishing  traditional  biking  events.  The  most 
famous  of  these  e\ents  is  the  annual  Yale-Vassar  77  mile  bike  re- 
lay race  from  New  Haven  to  Poughkeepsie  each  s])ring. 

The  initial  Yale-Vassar  race  took  place  on  Ajiril  12,  1952. 
Under  the  sijonsorship  of  TriunbuU  College's  Beer  and  Bike  So- 
ciety, several  five-man  relay  teams  were  organized  (at  ])resent 
the  number  of  men  on  each  team  has  been  increased  to  eight). 
Sporting  such  names  as  the  Lavender  Hill  Mob,  Maideiiform  Five, 
Under  Se.xtet,  and  Philanderers,  the  Elis,  accompanied  by  report- 
ers for  the  Yale  newspaper  (riding  closely  behind  in  automobiles), 
enthusiastically  began  tlie  historic  contest. 

Racers  Must  Drirtk  Beer 

The  rules  governing  the  race  stipulated  that  each  team  mem- 
ber at  the  end  of  his  lap  would  have  to  consume  a  quart  of  beer 
l)efore  the  next  team  member  could  take  off.  Although  just  one 
team  practiced  for  the  event,  the  spirit  of  the  others  was  not 
daimted  as  they  believed  they  would  be  able  to  compensate  for 
lack  of  bicycling  speed  by  |)roficiency  in  drinking. 

As  baffled  farmers  along  the  route  gazed  incredulously  upon 
them,  the  cyclists  pushed  ever  closer  to  their  destination.  Some 
did  not  reach  it  when  bikes  broke  down  and  a  few  riders  gave 
ujj  due  to  sheer  exhaustion.  The  majority,  however,  succeeded 
in  reaching  Vassar  and  were  warmly  greeted  by  the  wildly  cheer- 
ing girls. 

Despite  the  fact  that  Vassar  was  foimded  by  a  noted  brewer, 
Matthew  N'assar,  all  beer  that  the  cyclists  brought  with  them  was 
immediately  removed  from  the  campus  in  keeping  with  a  college 
regulation.  Nevertheless,  the  men  of  the  Trumbull  Beer  and  Bike 
Society  enjoyed  diemsclves  enough  to  tiansform  the  race  into  an 
annual  bicycle  pilgrimage.

The  Whiteman  Collection  is  comprised  largely  of  original 
manuscripts  and  orchestrations,  written  and  arranged  specifically 
for  the  Paul  Whiteman  orchestra.  It  is  |5reser\ed  for  the  most  jiart 
in  a  specially  equipped  room  in  die  back  of  the  college  chapel. 
More  commonly  actpiainted,  however,  with  avid  fans  of  White- 
man  and  his  music  are  the  actual  jazz  records  and  books  con- 
cerning him  in  the  college  library. 

There  are  over  4,000  of  these  orchestrations  and  jiarts  of 
music,  neatly  stacked  in  the  Vv'hiteman  Room  which  include  iiiaiiy 
of  George  Gershwin's  beloved  tunes.  Also  represented  are  works 
designed  for  Whiteman  by  Morton  Gould,  William  Brant  Sill,  Leo 
Sowerly,  and  other  distinguished  American  arrangers  of  the  1920"s, 

As  one  ins]Dects  this  interesting  museum  which  is  open,  by 
the  way,  every  Tuesday  and  Thursday  from  one  to  three  o'clock 
and  at  other  times  on  request,  many  varied  mementos  can  be  seen 

In  one  bookshelf  is  a  series  of  20  scrapbooks  with  countless 
cliiipings,  dealing  with  Whiteman  and  his  orchestra.  A  disjilay 
table  holds  such  widely  represented  articles  as  the  one  billionth 
radio  tube  made  by  Sylvania  Co.  with  a  citation  to  him,  a  signed 
baseball  with  names  of  Connie  Mack  and  the  entire  Philadelphia 
Athletics  ballclub,  and  Mike  Pinkatore's  banjo  which  was  original- 
ly used  in  the  orchestra  of  the  1920's.  Throughout  the  room,  the 
walls  are  decorated  with  plaques  and  dedications  of  the  esteem 
held  for  Mr.  Whiteman.  Especially  impressive  is  an  original  car- 
toon, done  for  him  by  Paul  Whiteman's  friend,  Walt  Disney. 

Much  material  in  the  collection  is  out  on  loan  now  to  the 
Popular  Music  Department  at  the  Boston  Conservatory,  Capitol 
Records,  N.  B.  G.  and  others.  Future  plans  for  the  collection  re- 
volve around  a  new  Paul  Whiteman  Room  which  will  be  located 
in  the  library  addition,  now  being  completed.  Proceeds  from  a 
concert  which  Whiteman  gave  here  in  Chapin  Hall,  10  years  ago, 
will  supply  the  financial  support. 


Whiteman  Collection  Preserves 
Mementos  of  Past  Jazz  Age 


hij  Ernie  Imhoff 

Surrounded  on  every  side  by  cool  strains  of  contemporary 
schools  of  jazz,  the  average  college  man  to-day  finds  sheer  ocstacy 
in  Phinney's  Favorite  Five,  and  Dave  Brubeck.  In  this  age  of  "Go, 
man,  go!"  and  "Take  it  away,  Benny!"  there  seems  to  be  a  forget- 
fulness  of  the  past  age  which,  after  all,  laid  the  present  foundations 
of  jazz.  Paul  Whiteiuan  and  his  orchestra  have  probably  done 
more  to  bridge  this  gap  than  any  other  factor.  Here,  at  Williams, 
we  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  have  been  made  aware  of 
Whiteman's  music  throtigh  his  valuable  gift  to  the  college  of  the 
Whiteman  Collection.

THE  SEARCH  FOR  BRIDEY  SIGAFOOS 

It  was  a  duUi.sh  evening  at  the  Theta  house.  Mary 
Ellen  Krumbald  was  sticking  pins  in  an  elligy  of  the  house 
mother;  Evelyn  Zinsmaster  was  welding  a  manhole  cover 
to  her  charm  bracelet;  Algelica  McKee.sport  was  writing 
a  letter  to  Elvis  Presley  in  blood.  Like  I  say,  it  was  a 
dullish  evening. 

Suddenly  Dolores  Vladnay  stood  up  and  stamped  her 
foot.  "Chaps,"  she  said  to  her  sorors,  "this  is  too  yawn- 
making!  Let's  do  something  gay  and  mad  and  wild  and 
different  and  gasp-making.   Anybody  got  an  idea?" 

"No,"  said  the  sorors,  shaking  their  little  sausage 
curls. 

"Think,  chaps,  think!"  .said  Dolores  and  passed  Philip 
Morris  Cigarettes  to  everybody,  and  if  there  ever  was  a 
think-miiking  smoke,  it  is  today's  fresh  and  zestful  and 
yummy  Philip  Morris.  Things  come  clear  when  you  puff 
a  good,  clean,  natural  Philip  Morris  —  knots  untie,  dilem- 
mas dissolve,  problems  evaporate,  cobwebs  vanish,  fog 
disperses,  and  the  benevolent  sun  pours  radiance  on  a  new 
and  dewy  world.  Oh,  happy  world!  Oh,  Philip  Morris! 
Oh,  regular!   Oh,  long-size!   Oh,  get  some  already! 


^'  One.  tvjo.  Three, 


Now  Geraldine  Quidnunc,  her  drooping  brain-cells 
revivified  by  a  good  Philip  Morris,  leapt  up  and 
cried,  "Oh,  I  have  a  perfect  gasser  of  an  idea!  Let's 
hypnotize  somebody!" 

"Oh,  capital!"  cried  the  .sorors.  "Oh,  tingle-making!" 

"Yes,"  said  Dolores  Vladnay,  "it  is  a  splendid  idea, 
but  hypnosis  requires  a  pliant  and  malleable  mind,  and 
we  are  all  so  strong  and  well-adjusted." 

At  this  point,  in  walked  a  young  pledge  named  Alice 
Bluegown.  "Excu.se  me,  mistresses,"  .said  she,  "I  have 
fini.shed  making  your  beds,  doing  your  homework,  and 
ironing  your  pleats.  Will  there  be  anything  else?" 

"Ye.s,"  snapped  Dolores  Vladnay.  "When  I  count  to 
three,  you  will  be  hypnotized." 

"Yes,  excellency,"  said  Alice,  bobbing  a  curtsey. 

"One,  two,  three,"  said  Dolores. 

Alice  promptly  went  into  a  trance. 

"Go  back,"  said  Dolores.  "Go  back  to  your  fifth  birth- 
day, back  to  your  birth,  to  before  your  birth,  to  your  last 
incarnation Now,  who  are  you?" 

"My  name  is  Bridey  Sigafoos,"  said  Alice.  "The  year 
is  1818,  and  I  am  in  County  Cork." 

"Coo!"  said  the  sorors. 

"How  old  are  you?"  asked  Dolores. 

"I  am  seven,"  .said  Alice. 

"Where  is  your  mother?"  asked  Dolores, 

"She  got  sold  at  the  fair  last  year." 

"Coo!"  said  the  sorors. 

"Tell  us  about  yourself,"  said  Dolores. 

"I  am  five  feet  tall,"  said  Alice.  "I  have  brown  eyes, 
end  weigh  3200  pounds." 

"Coo!"  said  the  sorors. 

"Isn't  that  rather  heavy  for  a  girl?"  said  Dolores. 

"Who's  a  girl?"  said  Alice.  "I'm  a  black  and  white 
guern.sey." 

"Coo !"  said  the  sorors. 

"Moo!"  said  Bridey  Sigafoos.

Saturday,  Sept.  29  -  The  Sprlng- 
iicld  football  team,  outclassed  by 
Williams  in  a  pre-season  scrim- 
iiiat'e,  rolled  over  Amherst  28-7, 
:  Ills  afternoon.  The  Jeffs  complel- 
I  d  six  out  of  25  passes  and  gained 
11)4  yards  on  the  uround. 

In  other  results  which  involve 
!,iture  Williams  opponents  Mid- 
(llebury  outclassed  Wesleyan,  21-6. 
Union  edged  Vermont,  13-6.  A 
liowerful  Tufts  team,  upset  by 
Williams  last  year,  shut  out  Bow- 
doin, 25-0.  A  heavily  favored 
lirandeis  aggregation  edged  Colby, 
Jli-20.  Colby  will  face  Williams 
liere  this  weekend. 

Termed  by  the  "Springfield  Re- 
publican" "dead  game  but  bright 
;;rcen  material",  the  Amherst 
,(iuad  dominated  the  offensive 
IJlay  against  SprinKfield  during 
much  of  the  first  period  with  John 
Deligeorges  and  Marsh  McLeon 
leading  the  ground  attack.  Am- 
herst failed  to  pass  the  Maroon  lO 
yard  line  during  this  period. 

In  addition  to  Colby,  the  Eph 
squad  faces  Middlebury  (here). 
Bowdoin  (away),  and  Tufts  (herei 
this  month. 


The  rest  of  the  funds  may  have 
to  be  gotten  elsewhere  if  the  need- 
ed total  is  not  reached. 

According  to  Gibson,  Mr,  Par- 
ker has  said  that  the  state  will 
provide  funds  for  dynamite  to 
blast  out  the  stumps  that  remain 
after  work  crews  have  cut  down 
the  trees.  The  Outing  Club  is  ex- 
pected to  have  about  20  students 
a  day  on  hand  to  cut  down 
trees  and  till  in  holes  after  the 
blasting.  Bulldozing  is  needed  for 
the  general  smoothing-over  acti- 
vities and  for  problem  trees  when 
they  are  encountered.  This  Is 
where  the  funds  are  needed. 

Student  officials  connected  with 
the  event  estimate  the  project 
must  be  completed  by  Nov.  15,  be- 
fore the  snows  begin  to  fall.  Last 
Sunday  an  expedition  ascended 
the  peak  for  a  final  check  on  the 
trail.  Sandy  Fetter  '58,  is  student 
chairman  for  the  event.

"The  Lost  10  Days" 
at  7:15  and  9:15 


Wednesday,  Oct.  3  -  With  the 
fall  term  now  midway  through  its 
second  week,  the  annual  College 
golf  and  tennis  tournaments  have 
commenced.  The  linksters  com- 
pleted their  qualification  sco:es 
last  Friday,  and  by  the  end  of  this 
week  will  have  to  play  their  first 
round  matches,  while  the  Tennis 
Tournament  is  still  on  its  second 
round.  Coaches  Clarence  Chaffee 
and  Dick  Baxter  both  stressed  the 
fact  that  contestants  must  play  aV. 
matches  on  .schedule  or  default. 
Promptness  has  been  stressed  be- 
cause of  Wllliamstown's  highly  er- 
ratic weather,  for,  as  Coach  Bax- 
ter put  it,  "we  would  hate  to  play 
the  finals  in  snow". 

Halligan,  Shepherd  Lead  Qualifiers 

Leading  the  qualifiers  with  a 
thirty-six  hole  score  of  151  were 
Sophomore  Haase  Halligan  and 
Freshman  Joel  Shepherd  from 
Western  Stale  H.S.  Captain  Bill 
Chapman  was  third,  four  strokes 
off  the  pace,  with  letterman  John 
Boyd  fourth,  eight  strokes  behind. 
All  four  will  receive  a  Bye  in  the 
first  round  of  the  match-played 
tournament.  The  remaining  eight 
will  meet  each  other  to  determine 
which  four  will  move  into  the  sec- 
ond round.  Qualifying  fifth  with 
160  was  Sophomoi-e  Doc  Johnson 
who  will  meet  Prosh  Bob  Julius, 
who  placed  ninth  with  170.  The 
other  matches  see  Bill  Tuach  '59, 
opposing  Tim  Coburn  '60;  Mike 
Beemer  '60  facing  Dave  McKown 
'69,  and  Wari'en  Bi'own  '57,  meet- 
ing Jim  Fisher  '60.  This  year's 
Freshman  cla.ss  has  more  men, 
five,  to  qualify  than  any  Fresh- 
man class  in  many  years. 

The  tennis  toui'nament,  despite 
nice  weekend  weather,  has  gotten 
off  to  a  slow  start  and  inevitably 
there  will  be  many  defaults  before 
the  second  round  is  completed. 
Those  who  have  already  taken 
their  second  round  match  are  Jun- 
iors Dave  Leonard  and  Tom  Shul- 
man.  Sophomore  Tom  Davidson 
and  Frosh  Foster  Devereux.  Seeded 
first  in  the  45  man  tourney  is  Karl 
Hirshman,  with  Leonard  second, 
Shulman  third,  and  Bob  Kings- 
bury fourth.  Captain  Sam  Eells  is 
seeded  fifth,  Mel  Searls  sixth,  Joe 
Turner  seventh,  and  Ernie  Fleish- 
man eighth.

Hams  College  football. 

Mr,  Navarro  believes  that  his 
team  has  an  eager  and  offensive 
minded  attitude  but  will  probably 
lack  the  depth  that  has  seemed  to 
characterize  Williams  frosh  foot- 
ball for  the  last  two  years.  There 
are  thirty-five  boys  who  are  still 
out  for  the  team,  and  these  will 
be  the  squad  which  will  face  a 
tough  opponent  from  the  north  on 
a  week  from  Saturday.  The  Ver- 
mont freshmen  last  year  held  Wil- 
liams to  a  surprising  8-0  score. 

White   Plains 

The  new  freshman  football 
coach  played  under  Williams'  pre- 
sent head  coach  Len  Walters  at 
Wliite  Plains  High  School  before 
he  starred  at  Maryland  for  three 
years  as  a  lineman  on  the  national 
champions.  After  his  stint  with  the 
Terrapins,  Mr.  Navarro  entered  the 
service  as  an  ROTC  officer  and 
was  discharged  as  a  first  lieuten- 
ant. 

The  frosh  coach  has  a  year  of 
coaching  experience  under  his  belt 
at  Columbia  University  where  he 
served  under  Lou  Little.  Mr,  Na- 
varro said,  "Although  both  Mary- 
land and  Columbia  are  a  lot  big- 
ger than  Williams,  the  basic  foot- 
ball objective  remains  the  same. 
I'm  out  there  to  win  ball  games 
and  produce  fine  sportsmanlike 
boys," 

The  Eph  frosh  face  a  strong 
slate  of  first  line  opponents  this 
year  after  the  Vermont  game.  The 
squad  faces  two  weeks  rest  after 
the  opener,  but  then  take  on  An- 
dover,  RPI,  Wesleyan  and  Am- 
herst on  successive  Saturdays.  The 
last  two  games  will  determine  the 
Ephs'  Little  Three  fate.

Potter  Scores  Early 
To  Start  Easy  Win 

Ephs  Gain  455  Yards 
With  Rushing  Offense 


Chip  Ide  came  close  to  Intercept- 
ing the  ball  on  the  10,  but  the  pass 
tipped  off  his  fingers  into  the  arms 
of  Ninesa.  He  ran  unmolested  into 
the  end  zone.  Co-captain  George 
Kelleher  kicked  the  point.  At  this 
point,  with  the  score  13-7,  the 
Ephs  took  the  kickoff  and  drove 
73  yards  for  their  third  touchdown. 
Ide  circled  end  to  score  standing 
up  from  the  18  with  a  final  burst 
of  speed  carrying  him  across. 

Second  Half  Rout 

The  visitors  turned  the  game  in- 
to a  rout  in  the  second  half  as 
they  scored  twice  in  each  period. 
Immediately  following  the  kickoff, 
the  Purple  started  on  its  own  32 
and  marched  down  the  field  for 
its  fourth  score.  Potter  and  Dick 
Fearon,  with  a  25-yard  run,  spark- 
ed the  drive  and  sophomore  Ide 
carried  it  over  from  the  16.  Potter 
converted  to  bring  the  score  to 
26-7. 

While  Trinity  was  unable  to  get 
the  ball  inside  the  Williams  20,  the 
Ephs  continued  to  pile  up  the 
yardage  on  the  ground.  Before  the 
start  of  the  final  quarter,  half- 
back Whitey  Kaufman,  who  also 
starred  on  defense,  skirled  right 
end  for  16  yards  and  another  score. 
Potter  once  again  booted  the  extra 
point.  After  Ide  scooted  10  yards 
for  his  third  score  at  the  start  of 
the  last  period.  Coach  Walters 
emptied  the  bench.  The  visitors 
still  were  able  lo  move  the  ball, 
however,  as  the  considerable  depth 
of  this  year's  Williams  squad  was 
clearly  in  evidence.  Reserve  half- 
back Bob  Hatcher  registered  the 
seventh  touchdown  with  only  three 
minutes  remaining  as  he  tallied 
from  the  10. 

Impressive  Victory  •" 

This  was  clearly  an  impressive 
team  victory,  although  there  were 
certain  individual  standouts  for 
the  Ephs.  Ide  led  the  squad  with 
125  yards  gained  in  12  carries 
while  Potter  put  on  another  fine 
performance  in  his  usual  work- 
horse role.  Fearon,  Kaufman  and 
Gary  Shortlidge  also  were  out- 
standing on  offense.  Besides  the 
offensive  line  work,  defensively 
Bill  Hedeman,  Hank  Dimlich,  Jim 
Richardson,  Karl  Schoeller,  Tony 
Volpe  and  Kaufman,  among 
others,  stood  out  in  the  winning 
cause. 


Walters  Lauds  Ephs 
For    Trinity    Victory 

Sunday,  Sept.  30  -  Coach  Len 
Walters  is  certainly  the  "man  ot 
the  hour"  around  Williamstown 
today,  after  the  Williams  varsity 
football  team  snapped  Trinity's  16 
game    winning    streak    yesterday 

with  a  smashing  46-7  victory. 

In  appraising  the  Ephs'  perfor- 
mance, Walters  said  "From  the 
first  to  the  last  player,  the  team 
did  a  splendid  all-around  offen- 
sive and  defensive  job."  The  team 
made  very  few  offensive  or  de- 
fensive mistakes,"  continued  Wal- 
ters, "and  the  whole  coaching  staff 
was  very  pleased  with  our  hard- 
charging  line-play,  and  the  quick 
manner  in  which  our  offensive 
backfield  got  off." 

The  Ephmen  suffered  only  one 
injury  in  yesterday's  contest.  Vet- 
eran guard  Fi-ank  Uible  injured 
his  knee  on  the  opening  kick-off 
and  it  Is  undetermined  how  long 
this  injury  will  keep  him  out  of 
action. 

Walters  plans  to  work  hard  in 
practice  this  week  on  all  phases  of 
the  team's  play,  in  preparation  tor 
the  first  home  game  against  Colby 
next  Saturday.  Colby  reportedly 
has  one  of  their  strongest  teams 
In  several  seasons,  and  under  the 
guidance  of  former  Eph  assistant 
coach  Bob  Clifford,  the  Mules  may 
provide  very  tough  opposition  next 
weekend.

Phi  Delta  .  .  . 


Earlier  this  year,  the  national  organization  of  Sigma  Phi  Im. 
ternity  dropped  [jlans  for  disciplinary  action  against  its  Williams 
chapter,  which  had  pledged  two  Negro  students.  The  move  to  se- 
ver  the  Williams  chapter  was  dropped  after  alumni  and  other  chan- 
ters supported  the  Williams  group. 

President  Could  said  that  the  lueinbers  wi'ic  pleased  that  the 
siispension  had  been  lifted.  (lould,  whose  home  is  in  Watertown 
N.  v.,  declined  to  coiument  on  the  new  eonstitutional  clause' 
which  would  make  pleilges  subject  to  the  approval  of  other  chap! 
ters.  Clampus  sources  say  that  several  other  fraternities  at  Wjl- 
Hams  have  similar  provisions.  (College  rules  lorhid  "restriclive" 
clauses  based  on  race,  creed  or  color.

editors  of  Reader's  Digest. 

Why  do  far  more  college  graduates  read  Reader's  Digest  than 
any  other  magazine?  What  is  it  that  makes  the  Digest  the  most 
widely  read  magazine  in  the  world  —  with  11  million  copies 
bought  each  month  in  the  United  States,  plus  9  million  abroad? 
Why  is  it  read  each  month  by  at  least  60  million  people,  in  12 
languages— Arabic,  Danish,  English,  Finnish,  French,  German, 
Italian,  Japanese,  Norwegian,  Portuguese,  Spanish  and  Swedish?

Failure  of  '56  Total  Opportunity

Regulations  on  Rushing 
Of  Unpledged  Sophs 


Saturday,  Oct.  3  -  Little  hope  re- 
iiiiilns  that  total  opportunity  will 
[!,■  achieved  this  yeui',  after  a 
"j.'int  CC-SC  meetini}  Tuesday.  Of 
I  lie  four  men  who  emerged  from 
1  iishing  with  no  final  bids,  one  has 
li.'cn  bid  and  pledged;  but  there 
i.ppears  to  be  little  chance  that 
;iie  other  three  will  be  picked  up. 
College  Council  and  Social 
Council  Presidents  Dee  Gardner 
and  John  Winnacker  entered  pleas 
Hint  house  presidents  make  one 
more  effort  to  accept  the  three 
iiiibid  .sophs  this  week.  Re.sulUs  will 
b,'  broi  ght  up  at  next  Tuesday's 
iiiceling. 

"After  so  many  people  were  foi- 
lolal  opportunity  last  year,  it  is 
loo  bad  to  see  it  fail  now  we  are 
.so  close  to  the  goal:  and  if  we 
fail  this  year,  it  may  never  be 
achieved."  stated  SC  president 
Winnacker. 

Just  An  Kxpression? 
"It  is  too  bad  'Total  Oi)por-

Thela  Delta  Chi  president  Jack 
Tucker  after  his  house  pledged  one 
of  the  tour  .sophs  with  no  final

"When  we  took  our  action  last

would  either  .stimulate  other 
housts  to  follow  suit  or  make  the 
problem  more  intense  by  reducing 
the  number:  I  am  disappointed 
we  were  not  more  .stimulating," 
Tucker  continued.

U.  N.  Sends  Message 
To  Haystack  Jubilee 


To  the  Third  Jubilee  of  the  Hay- 
stack Meeting  of  1806  I  gladly  send 
the  gieetings  of  UNESCO,  which 
is  celebrating  this  year  its  fiisi 
.iubilee,  being  a  decade  old. 

To  be  in  continuous  operation 
for  one  hundred  fifty  years  is  a 
notable  achievement  for  any  agen- 
cy, but  especially  for  agencies 
having  an  International  field  of 
work  and  whose  years  include 
many  turbulent  times  such  as 
those  which  we  are  now  enduring. 
If  .some  group  in.spired  tay  the 
Haystack  Meeting  will  be  able  to 
.send  a  me.ssage  to  UNESCO  on 
iUs  150th  birthday  UNESCO  will 
also  have  cause  for  celebration. 

It  is,  however,  not  a  new  or 
strange  story  in  human  affairs 
when  local  storms  or  world  wa:s 
drive  men  into  a  huddle  and  in- 
spire them  to  undertake,  half  in 
fear,  half  in  faith,  great  works  of 
constructive  effort.  Men  have  for 
milleniums  built  new  cities  on  the 
ruins  of  the  old,  and  have  matched 
the  destructive  powers  of  both  na- 
ture and  human  nature  with  mar- 
vellous structures  of  human  im- 
agination, toil,  and  community. 

Though  examples  of  such  con- 
structions are  familiar,  the  growtli 
of  foreign  missions  after  1806  is 
still  one  of  the  wonders  of  world 
history:  so  wonderful,  indeed,  that 
it  may  well  appear  to  be  super- 
human in  in.spirution  and  gui- 
dance. I  need  not  recall  to  the 
people  here  assembled  that  this 
growth  was  much  more  than  a 
mere  geographic  expansion  of

First  Haystack  Scholarship  Sends 
Williams  Talented  Korean  Student

Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  Ninctcon-ycar-dld  Kvnns^-W'on  Kim  of  .Seoul, 
Korea,  wlio  says  lie  is  "vciv  grateful  to  ever\()ne  wlio  made  it  ])os- 
■-ible",  is  the  lirst  recipient  ol  tlie  llavstack  Fellowsliip  Scholarship. 

This  .scholaiship  fund,  oriijiiiated  last  sprinn  l)\-  a  poup  of  cain- 
pits  leaders,  is  to  serve  as  a  continual  reniincU'r  of  the  historic  LSOfi 
Haystack  Prayer  .Meeting  which  iiltiniatelv  led  to  the  fomuling 
of  the  Americau  Mi.ssiouarv  Seixice  here. 
Prayer  Meeting  Spirit  p. 

This  Fellowship  shares  the  .same 
spirit  as  that  which  inspired  thase 
five  Williams  students  in  that 
Prayer  Meeting,  a  desire  to  do 
iomething  beneficial  tor  all  man- 
kind. Kim,  after  his  studies  in  this 
country,  will  return  to  Korea  to 
help  spread  the  Gospel  there. 

Similar  to  the  Bowdoin  Plan, 
the  Fellowship  includes  free  tui- 
tion remitted  by  the  Trustees  and 
free  board  provided  by  campus  so- 
cial units.  The  scholarship,  collect- 
ed last  spring  In  a  concentrated 
fund-raising  drive  around  the  col- 
lege, win  aid  him  with  the  remain- 
der of  his  expenses  here. 

He  Likes   Williams 

Speaking  of  Williams,  Kim  com- 
mented that  "he  was  very  much 
satisfied  with  this  school.  It  is, 
of  course,  very  much  different  than 
any  I  have  previously  attended 
and  I  like  It  very  much".  He  added 
that  he  has  found  the  students 
here  very  friendly  and  that  he 
would  like  to  express  his  appre- 
ciation to  all  who  donated  to  the 
fund  to  make  it  possible  for  him 
to  be  at  Williams. 

Kim  comes  here  after  one  year 
at  Clarlnda  (Iowa)  Junior  Col- 
lege. He  plans  to  be  a  Political 
Science  Major  and  hopes  even- 
tually to  do  graduate  work  in  Ec- 
onomics. 

He  was  graduated  second  in  his 
Seoul,  Korea,  high  school  class, 
where  he  was  also  President  of 
the  Student  Senate  and  chairman 
of  the  Korean  Christian  Federa- 
tion. He  won  a  National  High 
School  Music  Contest  (he  plays 
piano  and  sings  tenor)  and  won  a 
Korean-American   Scholarship  to

New  Switchboard

Clarinda  in  competition  with  400 
other  students. 

Interesting  Background 

Kim  has  an  interesting  —  if 
tragic  —  family  background.  He 
was  born  in  Pyong-Yank,  North 
Korea,  and  his  family  lost  every- 
thing when  the  Reds  moved  in 
because  his  father  was  considered 
a  member  of  the  intelligentsia. 
The  elder  Kim,  who  earned  a 
Master's  Degree  at  the  Tokyo  In- 
stitute, was  arrested  and  the  fac- 
tory which  he  owned  was  confis- 
cated. No  trace  has  been  found  of 
him  since. 

Kim's  mother,  who  has  a  BA  de- 
gree f  i-om  Musashino  Music  College 
has  been  supporting  both  Kim  and

Saturday.  Oct.  6  -  Tlie  Williams 
campus  will  have  its  own  tele- 
phone .switchboard  by  the  middle 
of  December  according  to  the  la- 
test predictions  of  the  local  tele- 
phone company.  The  college's 
Assistant  Treasurer,  Calvin  Hall, 
stated  that  the  mam  purpose  for 
the  installation  is  to  create  a  more 
efficient  telephone  system  for  the 
college. 

Serious  planning  tor  this  tele- 
phone system  began  last  spring. 
All  preliminary  surveys  have  been 
completed  and  most  of  the  new 
equipment  has  been  ordered.  Pe- 
ter Welanetz,  Director  of  Build- 
ings and  Grounds,  has  drawn  up 
plans  for  the  new  office. 

Located  in  Hopkins 

This  intercampus  network  will 
be  a  dial  system  whose  switchboard 
will  be  located  in  the  basement  of 
Hopkins  Hall.  While  leaving  all  the 
fraternity  houses  and  dormitories 
on  the  present  local  system,  the 
new  switchboard  will  connect  all 
the  college's  administrative  offices 
and  buildings  in  a  closed  netwcrk. 
Although  these  offices  can  contact 
each  other  by  the  dial  system,  a 
college  operator  will  be  needed  in 
Hopkins  to  receive  all  outside  calls. 

Most  of  the  installation  costs 
will  be  absorbed  by  the  telephone 
company:  however,  the  college  will 
have  to  pay  an  estimated  $1000 
for  initial  expenses.  Mr.  Hall 
pointed  out  that  the  cost  per  phone 
will  be  less  for  the  college  as  there 
will  only  be  ten  trunk  lines  run- 
ning from  Hopkins  to  the  tele- 
phone company.  There  are  pres- 
ently about  80  such  lines  that  run 
from  the  college  buildings  to  the 
town's  switchboard  on  Spring 
Street.  These  savings,  however, 
will  be  offset  by  operational  ex- 
penses. 

Students  To  Operate  Board 

Present  plans  call  for  student 
aid  in  operating  the  switchboard. 
A  professional  operator  would 
handle  all  calls  during  the  day. 
and  th»  students  would  take  over 
when  this  operator  left.  Probable 
student  hours  of  operation  would 
be  6  to  10  o'clock  at  night,  but  no

equivalent  of  eleven  times  around 
the  earth  at  the  equator  and  has 
visited  38  countries,  several  of 
them  more  than  once.  A  devoted 
Christian,  he  embodies  in  his  quest 
for  peace  the  spirit  that  animated

Purple  Key  Presents 
Calendar  -  Date  Books 


Revived  Service  Group 
Plans  Amherst  Rallies 


By  John  Phillips 

The  appearance  of  the  Williams 
calendar-engagement  books  this 
week  marks  the  official  debut  of 
the  Purple  Key  Society  as  a  pro- 
gressive college  service  organiza- 
tion. Under  the  temporally  presi- 
dency of  Senior  Ted  McKee,  the 
Key  has  outlined  a  vigorous  pro- 
gram of  service  activities  for  the 
present  school  year.  Receipts  from 
the  current  calendar  sale  will  be 
used  to  finance  the  printing  of  pro- 
grams tor  athletic  contests,  and  as 
the  basic  fund  for  the  entertain- 
ment of  athletic  teams  upon  their 
visits  to  WlUiamstown. 

In  this  year's  first  meeting,  two 
new  members  were  added  to  the 
group,  both  to  serve  in  a  non-vo- 
ting, advisory  capacity.  Assistant 
Director  of  Admissions  Pete  Pel- 
ham  was  appointed  from  the  fac- 
ulty, and  hockey  coach  Bill  Mc- 
cormick was  drafted  from  the 
Athletic  Department.  Since  the  or- 
ganization must  work  in  close  con- 
junction with  the  Department  of 
Athletics,  Flank  Thorns  has  been 
made  the  non-voting  director  of 
the  group. 

According  to  the  revised  Consti- 
tution adopted  last  Spring,  the 
main  purpose  of  the  Purple  Key  is 
to  greet  and  entertain  all  college 
visitors,  especially  athletic  teams. 
Aside  from  this,  the  Key  plans  to 
sponsor  rallies  during  the  week 
preceding  the  Invasion  of  Amherst,

Artist  Announces 
Painting   lessons 

Mrs.  Rassie  Gifford 
Donates  Instruction 


Wednesday,  Oct.  3  —  Mrs.  Rassie 
Gifford  announced  today  that  she 
is  again  planning  to  offer  her 
unique  art  course.  The  course  will 
consist  of  an  "art  laboratory", 
that  is,  the  student  will  explore 
for  himself  the  process  and  the 
medium  of  painting. 

Mrs.  Gifford  offers  her  course 
without  cost,  except  for  the  ma- 
terials which  the  student  must  pro- 
cure. Classes  will  be  held  in  the 
Graphic  studio  in  the  Lawrence 
Art  Museum  beginning  this  Wed- 
nesday. They  will  commence  at 
1:30  and  will  end  at  4:30,  but  the 
student  may  spend  as  much  or  as 
little  time  in  this  period  as  he 
wishes. 

Develop  Sensitivity 

The  main  purpose  of  this  course, 
Mrs.  Gifford  explains,  is  "to  de- 
velop a  visual  sensitivity  to  the 
language  of  painting."  The  student 
will  work  with  line,  pattern,  tex- 
ture and  color.  You  will  be  "explor- 
ing the  elements  of  the  language 
of  painting  in  terms  of  actually  do- 
ing it  your.self ." 

This  affords  the  student  who 
has  or  has  not  had  previous  train- 
ing in  art,  the  chance  to  work  with 
a  professional  artist.  The  emphasis 
is  almost  entirely  on  the  process, 
which  will  allow  anyone  to  discover 
whether  he  has  artistic  talents  or 
an  interest  in  art. 

All  who  sign  up  for  this  cour.se 
will  have  the  benefit  of  receiving 
professional  advice.  Mrs.  Gifford  is 
an  alumna  of  Bennington  College. 
Her  paintings  have  been  exhibited 
at  the  John  Heller  Gallery,  the 
Mortimer  Leavltt  Gallery  and  the 
Roko  Gallery  In  New  York  City.

work  that  has  made  it  possible  for 
us  today  to  deal  with  each  other

President's  Message 


The  White  House 
Wa.shington,  D.  C. 
September  29,  1956 
On  the  occasion  of  the  Ses- 
quicentennial of  the  Haystack 
Prayer  Meeting,  I  send  greet- 
ings to  the  students,  faculty  and 
guests  of  Williams  College,  and 
to  the  citizens  of  WlUiamstown 
participating  in  the  Anniver- 
sary Ceremonies.  As  one  hun- 
dred fifty  years  ago  five  Wil- 
liams College  Students  made  a 
decision  to  dedicate  their  lives 
to  the  well-being  of  peoples  in 
other  lands,  we  recall  the  hosts 
of  these  young  men's  successor;; 
and  the  many  churches,  schools 
and  hospitals  established  over- 
seas by  American  Missionaries 
in  the  intervening  years.  Tills 
brings  us  to  appreciate  more 
fully  what  those  dedicated  pio- 
neers of  world  service  contri- 
buted to  international  under- 
standing and  to  the  betterment 
of  mankind.  Best  wishes  to  yoi; 
in  the  celebration  of  this  in- 
spiring event.

Business  and  Friendship 

After  three  years  of  observation,  we  believe  that  a  distinct 
problem  has  existed  at  Williams  College  that  demands  immediate 
attention.  Admittedly  good  relationships  between  students  and 
townspeople  is  a  major  goal  of  this  community.  A  part  of  this  co- 
operative attitude,  however,  must  come  from  the  townspeople 
tliemselves.  We  belie\'e  that  one  business  man  has  taken  too  great 
an  advantage  of  his  monoijoly  on  required  educational  items. 

Raymond  Washburne,  owner  of  the  College  Bookstore,  in  his 
overzealous  effort  to  make  a  Wall  Street  out  of  Spring  Street,  has 
broken  this  co-operative  and  friendly  relationship  which  other 
merchants  strive  to  uphold. 

The  newly  formed  Purple  Key  Society,  in  order  to  raise  money 
for  various  College  services,  has  recently  published  a  College 
Calendar  and  Engagement  Book.  All  merchants  approached  by 
members  of  the  Purple  Key  Society  to  sell  these  calendars  to  stud- 
ents, professors  and  townspeople  eagerly  agreed  to  do  so  without 
personal  gain.  Upon  being  asked  to  render  this  small  service  to  the 
College,  Mr.  Washburne  refused  to  sell  the  calendars  without 
commission.  He  offered  to  buy  the  Calendar  for  a  dollar  and  re- 
sell it  at  the  Purjjle  Key  price  of  $1.50.  When  it  was  explained  to 
him  that  the  design  was  not  to  make  personal  profit  for  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Key,  but  rather  to  raise  enough  money  for  operational 
expenses  in  rendering  services  to  the  College,  he  answered  that 
"business  is  business"  but  under  the  circumstances  he  would  make 
an  exception,  and  lower  his  commission  to  20  per  cent. 

Does  this  ty|De  of  co-operation  strengthen  student-town  re- 
lationships? We  think  not.  Having  given  much  thought  to  tliis 
situation,  we  can  see  but  two  possible  alternatives.  Either  Mr. 
Washburne  must  change  his  attitude  and  strive  to  regain  the 
friendship  he  has  lost  from  the  student  body,  or  the  students  and/ 
or  College  should  look  into  the  possibilities  of  establishing  a  col- 
lege co-operative  bookshop.

"OF  MICE  AND  MEN"

John  Steinbeck

Burgess  Meredith  Lon  Chaney,  Jr. 


Ephs  Operate  212  Automobiles; 
Ford  Leads  Campus  Registrations 

Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  A  compilation  of  automobile  registration 
data  by  the  RECORD  reveals  that  for  tlie  second  straight  year, 
new  cars  are  by  far  the  most  numerous  on  campus.  Tliis  year 
there  are  50  brand  new  cars  registered,  compared  with  42  lor  the 
next  highest  year,  1953.  Last  year's  models  (ilace  third  with  30, 
followed  by  1950  which  had  28  and  1954  with  27. 

The  1956  Ford  emerges  as  the  indiviiliial  leader  with  a  "dele- 
gation" of  18  on  campus.  The  1954  and  1953  Fords  are  right  be- 
hind with  17  each.  The  General  Motors  Corporation  shouldn  t 
contemnlate  going  out  of  business,  thougii,  for  the  1956  and  1955 
Chevrolets  are  next  with  12  apiece. 

Seniors  Alwad 

According  to  the  figures  kejit  by  campus  cop  George  Millis, 
272  juniors  and  seniors  -  just  over  half  of  those  eligible  -  have 
"wheels"  this  year.  A  breakdown  by  classes  shows  that  die  seniors 
top  the  juniors  by  just  eight  cars,  140-132. 

The  "low-|iriced  three"  have  made  the  largest  inroads  at  Wil- 
liams in  total  numbers,  the  smvey  shows.  Ford  leads  this  year 
with  76,  followed  by  Chevrolet  with  53  and  Plymouth  with  29. 
Of  the  "medium-price  range",  Pontiac  was  best  represented  with 
13,  followed  by  Dodge  with  eight  and  Mercury  witli  seven. 
One  Continental 

Of  the  admitted  "Iiigh-price"  cars,  Oldsmobile  leads  the  pack 
with  16.  Buick  is  next  with  10.  The  oldest  registered  car  is  a  1936 
Cadilac,  one  of  tlie  two  of  that  make  on  camjjus.  Lincoln  is  rep- 
resented by  three  models,  one  being  a  1941  Continental.  In  ad- 
dition tliere  are  four  Chryslers  and  three  Packards. 

The  sjjorts  car  set  is  keeping  its  head  above  water  this  year 
and  appears  to  be  making  a  comeback  after  last  year's  low.  Fig- 
ures show  foiu-  new  Volkswagoiis,  a  1956  Porsche  1600,  a  1956 
Morris  Minor  as  well  as  two  Jaguars,  two  Hilhnans,  an  MG  and  a 
Thunderbird. 


Chapel  Presents  Reverend  G.  A.  Buttrick; 
Famed  Pastor  To  Speak  Tomorrow  Night 

Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  "Roosters  and  Redemption"  will  be  the  top- 
ic for  world  renowned  (jreacher  the  Reverend  George  Arthiu'  But- 
trick,  D.  D.,  in  Chaj^el  tomorrow  night.  Tlie  Rev.  Buttrick  is  Dean 
of  Chapel  and  Phmimer  Professor  of  Christian  Morals  at  Harvard 
University,  and  according  to  Chaplain  William  Cole,  is  among  tip- 
top four  or  five  preachers  in  the  English  sj^eaking  workl.  He  is 
regarded  by  some  ]jeople  as  the  best  preacher  in  the  United 
States,  according  to  Dr.  Cole. 

Previous  to  going  to  Harvard,  Rev.  Buttrick  was  minister 
of  churches  in  Rutland,  Vt.,  and  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  and  later  was 
Minister  of  the  Madison  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  New  York 
City.  He  is  a  jjast  president  of  the  Federal  Council  of  Chinches 
of  Christ  in  America.  He  has  been  a  Lyman  Beecher  Leetmer  at 
Y'ale  and  is  currently  Editor  of  the  "Interpreters  Bible",  wiiich 
Dr.  Cole  said  "is  one  of  the  major  undertakings  in  Biblical  schol- 
arship in  the  past  50  years". 

Author  of  Several  Books 

He  has  done  most  of  Harvard's  preaching  since  he  arrived 
on  the  scene  in  January,  1955,  and  packs  the  Cha]5el  every  Siniday. 
He  also  is  the  author  of  several  books  including  "Prayer",  "The 
Christian  Fact  and  Modern  Doubt"  and  "Christ  and  Education". 

After  the  7:30  p.  m.  Chapel  service  has  been  terminated, 
Rev.  Buttrick  will  be  available  in  the  Freshman  Lounge  of  the 
Student  Union  for  an  informal  discussion  period.

churches;  as  the  movement  spread 
und  gained  momentum  it  also 
gained  depth  and  scope.  The  ex- 
pansion of  the  missionary  endea- 
vor to  include  immense  labors  of 
education,  medical  cure,  llnt'ulsllc 
and  anthropological  researches, 
the  sciences  of  folklore  and  folk- 
ways, of  religions,  and  uU  the 
arts,  makes  it  an  Important  fac- 
tor In  one  of  the  greatest  cultural 
transformations  of  mankind. 

It  is  undoubtedly  due  to  the  fact 
that  many  groups  of  devoted  men 
and  women  during  the  last  150 
years  have  ventured  into  all  the 
corners  and  continents  of  the 
earth,  that  the  peoples  who  in 
1806  were  well  called  "foreign" 
can  today  make  an  effort  at  be- 
ing "united  nations."  In  1806  thi: 
creation  of  the  United  States  was 
still  regarded  as  a  marvel  of  po- 
litical craftsmanship,  for  even  our 
own  American  "States"  had  been 


accustomed  to  being  foreign  to 
each  other  and  were  still  convinc- 
ed  that  they  lived  among  very  lor- 
elgn  countries.  The  gradual  bre:ik- 
Ing  down  of  forelgnness,  In  all  its 
aspects,  has  been  one  of  mankiiul's 
greatest  missions  during  the  lust 
two  centurle.  And  to  this  gnat 
task  the  little  group  in  the  ll;iy- 
stack  made  a  great  contribution 

It  behooves  not  only  UNEBt'o, 
but  all  of  us  as  individuals,  to 
be  aware  of  the  heroic  work  Unt 
has  made  It  possible  for  us  tociuy 
to  deal  with  each  other  not  as 
foreigners,  but  as  members  ol 
communities  seeking  by  wo..ii. 
wide  ties  to  live  together  in  pi  co 
and  mutual  respect.

Coach  Navarro  Prepares  Eager  Frosh 
To  Engage  Untried  UVM  Next  Saturday; 
Hardworking  Ephmen  Lack  1955  Depth 

btf  Chuck  Dwikel 
Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  T|,e  Williams  freshman  football  s.iuad  un- 
der the  aljle  guidance  of  Coach  Frank  Navarro  has  been  hard  at 
work  this  week  m  preparation  for  their  first  game  against  the 
Vermont  freshmen  at  Uurlington,  Vt.,  on  October  13 


The  frosh  squad  numbers  about  40  at  present,  and  although 
he  teani  may  not  have  the  unusual  depth  of  last  season's  uncE;- 
eatecl  eleven.  Coach  Navarro  hopes  to  be  able  to  put  a  strong 
lirst  team  on  the  field  against  Vermont.  The  boys  are  very  eager  " 
.says  Navarro,  a  formei-  star  guard  at  Maryland,  "and  they  have 
heen  workuig  very  hard."  The  freshmen  will  use  the  same  spUt-T 
ollense  as  the  varsity,  and  will  probably  use  Uie  same  umbrella- 
lype  defense  as  Coach  Len  Walter's  squad. 

First  Team  Undetermined 
Although  it  is  too  early  to  select  a  first  team,  several  players 
have  been  looking  good  at  their  respective  positions.  Candidates 
lor  tlie  end  spots  ar(;  Ed  Kvre,  Brissie  Smith,  Kevin  Turney,  Toby 
ArnlHin  and  Dick  Eberhard.  Tackles  are  Fay  Vincent,  Ed  Eggers 
.Mu  Eileis  and  Ceorge  Tobin,  while  Bill  Mead,  Bob  Johnson  and 
-Nick  Colbert  are  guard  prospects.  Centers  are  Dave  Taresky  and 
Boh  Kaulinann,  brother  of  varsity  hallljack  VVliitey  Kaufmann. 

Quarterback  candidates  are  Jim  Briags  and  Alan  Miller,  witli 
(o  m  ()'Brien  shifting  between  quarterback  and  fullback.  Other 
lullhacks  are  Bill  Russell  and  Bob  Stegman.  Halfback  candidates 
.ne  Jmi  Ryan,  Norm  Cordon  and  Bob  Rorke,  brother  of  fonner 
Kph  (|uarterback  Dan  Rorke. 

The  X'ermont  frosh  have  not  opened  their  season  yet,  so  no 
uord  ol  their  strength  has  been  received.  Coach  Navarro  plan? 
to  scout  them  in  their  first  game  tliis  weekend.  In  the  game  las! 
■ieason,  the  Williams  frosh  were  hard  pressed  to  pull  out  an  8-1 
victory.  Navarro  hopes  to  be  able  to  pick  his  first  team  by  the 
viu\y  |)art  of  next  week,  and  expects  to  be  ready  for  Vermont.

Planskymen  Race  Against  UMass; 
Hecker,  Fox  Lead  Purple  Squad 

hi/  Dick  Davis 
Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  Today  down  at  .Amherst  the  Williams  var- 
sity cross  country  aggregation  will  kick  off  its  season  in  a  tlnal 
meet  with  the  University  of  .Massachusetts  Redinen.  The  Red- 
men's  freshman  te'am  of  last  vear  was  New  England  Champiui 
but  as  Eph  Coach  Tony  Plansky  points  out,  it  is  doubtful  as  to  how 
many  will  be  competing  this  year. 

Co-captain  Jim  He-cker  rates  Purple  chances  good,  pointing 
to  not  only  the  increased  depth  of  this  year's  team,  but  also  the 
greater  number  of  top-flight  runners.  Last  fall  Massachusetts  tri- 
umphed, with  present  Co-ca|)tain  Billy  Fox  top  man  for  Williams 
with  a  third  place.  The  Redmen  also  lost  their  two  top  runners  of 
last  fall,  Lejikowski  and  "Sc^ueaky"  Horn.  Horn  holds  the  record 
for  the  3-3/4  mle  Williams  course  with  a  time  of  twenty-one  miii- 
ntcs  flat. 


Cross-country  co-captains  Bill  Fox  and  Jim  Hecker 

Several  Time  Trials 
During  the  past  week  anel  a  half,  Plansky  has  ]iiit  his  charges 
through  sevci'ul  time  trials.  The  lengths  have  been  varied,  with 
the  sf|uad  running  the  regulation  k'ligth  twice,  more  than  tlv 
regulation  length  once,  and  .several  fractions.  In  the  first  full 
course  attempt  Fox  finished  first  with  a  x'cry  good  early  seasob 
time  of  21;4(),  followed  by  fre'shman  Elliott  Morss,  Dave  Canfitdd, 
[erry  Tipper,  George  Sudduth,  Ste\e  Carroll  and  Jim  Hecker. 

The  second  full  route  trial  found  Canfield  and  Sudduth  fin- 
ishing one-two,  chased  by  Carroll,  Dan  West,  Hecker,  and  Bill 
Mooinaw.  Fox  was  not  able  to  run.  Tom  Kellogg  and  Austin  Piatt 
round  out  the  Purple  elelegation  that  will  journey  to  Amherst. 

Frosh  Look  Good 
The  freshman  team  will  not  open  until  next  Saturday,  when 
the  M.I.T.  frosh  will  come  here.  Besides  Morss,  who  has  consis- 
tantly  placed  well  up  with  the  \arsitv  harriers,  ten  freshmen  look 
promising.  Charley  .McNaull,  Tim  Coburn,  Bob  Jancke,  Marshall 
Lapidus,  Livingston  Cole,  Bob  Dunn,  Bob  Garland,  Johnny  Fa) 
and  Johnny  Whitman  have  all  recorded  good  times. 

Next  Saturday  the  varsity  thinclads  will  come  home  to  pl^v 
host  to  a  triangular  meet  with  M.I.T.  and  Springfield  College.  Tin 
meet  will  start  at  twelve  noon,  followed  at  12:30  by  the  frosh 
contest.

Lawrence  Shows  Engineer  Missing 
Finnish  Exhibition  On  Private  Flight 


Convocation 


Museum  to  Feature 
Famous  Architects 


Saturday,  Oct.  6  —  An  exhibi- 
tion of  contemporary  Finnisli  ar- 
chitecture opened  Thursday  at 
Lawrence  Art  Museum  and  will 
continue  through  Oct.  21,  Among 
designers  represented  in  the  show 
are  such  internationally-known 
figures  as  Alvar  Aalto,  Erik  Brygg- 
ma»rJe»a*-Ceiiet':uaiit?,.AajaiS-Ell-. 
vi,  Yrjo  Kindegren,  Viljo  Kewell, 
J.  S.  Siren,  liro  Tukkila  and  Ei-ik 
Huttunen. 

Sponsored  by  the  Finnish-Amer- 
ican Society  in  Helsinki  and  the 
Finnish  Embassy  in  Washington, 
the  exhibition  was  organized  by  a 
special  committee  appointed  by  the 
Association  of  Finnish  Architects. 
The  exhibition  is  currently  being 
circulated  among  American  gal- 
leries and  museums  by  the  Smith- 
sonian Institute. 

Factory  Construction 

Over  40  buildings  and  projects 
of  the  last  decade  are  shown  in 
large  photographs.  Categories  in- 
cluded are  factories,  hydroelectric 
plants,  schools,  churches,  hospi- 
tals, hotels,  private  residences  and 
apartment  houses. 

In  a  foreward  to  an  illustrated 
catalogue  for  the  exhibition,  the 
leading  Finnish  architect  Alvar 
Aalto  states:  "There  is  an  increas- 
ing tendency  toward  organic  ar- 
chitecture all  over  the  world,  and 
we  may  hope  to  see  the  various 
technical  fields  and  forms  of  com- 
mercial production  become  more 
integrated  with  an  architecture 
which  dares  to  think  more  broadly 
in  terms  of  service  to  the  human 
soul."  This  humanization  of  the 
technical  field  is,  indeed,  a  special 
object  toward  which  architecture 
and  all  of  the  arts  might  well  de- 
vote themselves." 

Observers  have  noted  that  it  is 
jkiSu  L*4i3  ivIHu  01  iiijrXi  QUI  sill  uo 
which  the  Finnish  architects  excel. 
Through  extensive  use  of  wood, 
and  masterful  handling  of  the 
basically  stark  forms  of  brick  and 
reinforced  concrete,  they  have  put 
into  contemporary  architecture  a 
new  warmth  which  has  influenced 
building  throughout  the  world, 
critics  say. 


Local  Air  Manhunt 
Provides  No  Clues 


Tuesday,  Oct.  2  —  A  29-year-old 
atomic  energy  project  engineer 
missing  on  a  flight  in  his  private 
plane  from  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  to 
Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  was  the  object 
of  an  intensive  aerial  search  cen- 
tered at  the  North  Adams  airport 
over  last  weekend.  Authorities  be- 
lieve that  Frank  W.  Szanto  of 
Fairfield,  Conn.,  ran  into  a  storm, 
lost  his  way  and  crashed  after  his 
plane  either  ran  out  of  fuel  or  de- 
veloped motor  trouble. 

An  aerial  search  was  begun  in 
the  Halifax,  Vt.,  area  last  Friday, 
utilizing  two  helicopters  in  coor- 
dination with  ground  units.  How- 
ever, that  same  day  the  search  was 
called  off  in  the  Halifax  area  and 
moved  to  Northern  Berkshire 
County  where  the  aerial  part  was 
stationed  at  the  North  Adams  air- 
port. 

20  Flane  Hunt 

From  Saturday  morning  till 
Sunday  night,  a  search  party  con- 
sisting of  20  planes  authorized  by 
the  Air  Force  and  conducted  by 
the  Northern  Berkshire  squadron 
of  the  Civil  Air  Patrol  scowered  the 
quiet  berkshire  valleys  around 
Williamstown.  Actually  the  search 
covered  all  of  Western  Mass  from 
the  Vt.  to  the  Conn,  lines. 

Sunday  evening  after  two  fruit- 
less days  the  search  was  called  off 
by  the  CAP.  Authorities  say  that 
no  further  organized  search  will 
be  carried  on  since  no  clues  were 
found.  Szanto  was  flying  a  Swift 
Globe  low-wing  monoplane,  red 
aluminum  with  silver  markings 
and  registration  N-204K.

Other  Fund  Boosts 

In  addition  to  the  funds  collect- 
ed last  term,  the  scholarship  has 
been  supplemented  by  small  con- 
tributions sent  in  by  alumni  after 
reading  about  the  Fellowship  in 
the  ALUMNI  REVIEW  and  pro- 
ceeds from  the  district  sale  of 
books  of  seals  commemorating  the 
Haystack  Celebration.  Bev.  Fred- 
eric Fox,  former  pastor  of  the  Con- 
gregational Church,  Hank  Flynt 
and  George  Schryer  headed  the 
sale  of  the  seals. 

In  addition,  inclusion  In  the 
WCC  Chest  Fund  for  this  year  is 
being  considered.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  scholarship  can  be  renewed 
annually  for  Kim,  may  even  poss- 
ibly help  to  support  a  second  stu- 
dent here  at  some  time  in  the  near 
future.

definite  plans  have  been  decided. 
The  college  will  still  have  to  pay 
telephone  bills  since  the  telephone 
company  owns  the  equipment.  One 
proposed  system  is  that  the  college 
would  be  allowed  so  many  free 
calls  each  month  and  would  have 
to  pay  for  each  additional  call  that 
goes  outside  the  college  network. 
By  the  other  proposal,  the  college 
would  pay  a  higher  monthly  bill 
and  could  make  unlimited  number 
of  calls.  Although  the  administra- 
tive buildings  of  the  college  are 
now  functioning  under  the  latter 
system,  college  officials  have  not 
decided  which  alternative  to  adopt 
for  the  new  switchboard.

STICKLERS  ARE  TICKLERS  and  a  mighty  soft  way  to  make  money! 
Just  write  down  a  simple  riddle  and  a  two-word  rhyming  answer.  For 
example:  What's  a  ball  player  who  gets  a  raise?  (Answer:  richer 
pitcfier.)  Note:  both  words  must  have  the  same  number  of  syllables 
—bleak  freak,  jolly  dolly,  vinery  finery.  Send  your  Sticklers,  with 
your  name,  address,  college,  and  class,  to  Happy-Joe-Lucky,  Box 
67A,  Mt.  Vernon,  N.  Y.  Don't  do  drawings!  We'll  pay  $25  for  every 
Stickler  we  use  in  our  advertising— and  for  hundreds  that  never  see 
print.  And  remember— you're  bound  to  Stickle  better  when  you're 
enjoying  a  Lucky,  because  Luckies  taste  better.  Luckies'  mUd,  good- 
tasting  tobacco  is  TOASTED  to  taste  even  better.  Fact  is,  you'll  say

The  Democratic  faculty  nicmhers  were  less  confident,  liow-

Stevenson  backers  think  he  will  win  this  Xovcinher.  whereas

simistic  about  his  candidate's  chances. 

All  those  who  think  Ike  will  win,  however,  said  that  the  race 
will  be  clo.ser  than  it  was  in  19.52.  The  most  frecpient  reasons 
j^iven  were  Nixon,  the  President's  health,  the  loss  of  the  farm  vote, 
and  C;OP  overconfidence.  Said  Paul  (.'lark  of  the  Economics  De-

President  McOmber  '57 
Proposes    Investigation 
Of    Campus    Activities 


Wednesday.  Oct.  3  -  In  it.s  Ini- 
tial muelinK  of  the  year,  the  Stu- 
dent Activities  Council  considered 
how  it  is  to  curtail  its  financial 
problem  and  the  p'oblem  ot  vari- 
ous campus  organizations. 

Led  thLs  year  by  Sandy  McOm- 
ber '57.  the  SAC  is  CDmpo.sed  of  re- 
presentatives of  23  campus  organi- 
zations. While  acting  as  a  coordi- 
nator of  these  groups,  the  SAC's 
main  puipo.se  is  to  supervise  the 
management  and  debts  of  its 
members.

Savings   Fund    Created 

DuriuK  the  Second  World  War 
all  funds  tor  campus  activities 
were  invested  in  war  bonds.  Since 
then  these  bonds  were  :ashed  and 
a  savings  fund  started.  Th?  SAC 
controls  this  find  as  well  as  the 
funds  collected  from  the  student 
body.  For  the  past  several  years 
vaiious  theoretical  self-supporting 
organizations  have  had  to  borrow 
from  this  fund  in  order  to  .survive. 
These  groups  have  never  been  able 
to  repay  these  loans  while  often 
they  have  needed  new  loans.  The 
"Gul."  for  instance,  borrowed  $600 
in  1954  and  again  in  1956.  Such 
unpaid  loans  have  constituted  a 
severe  drain  on  the  SAC  treasury. 

President  McOmber  has  pro- 
posed a  joint  faculty-student  com- 
mittee inve.stigation  of  the  finan- 
cial structure  and  accounting  me- 
ttindi  f^t-  -pviical^.cf  .j*'-  xneTTihe-'..^  . 
Because  several  "Gul'  and  RE- 
CORD baards  have  had  prosperous 
years.  McOmber  believes  that  these 
oiganizations  can  make  a  profit 
if  they  arc  set  up  more  efficiently. 

Questionnaires  to  be  Sent  Out 

Within  the  next  few  weeks  the 
SAC  will  send  out  questloi.njilres 
to  many  small  New  England  col- 
leges to  find  out  how  their  acti- 
vities are  organized  and  financed.

College  Book  Exchange  Treibles  Business; 
Project  Depends  Ok  SiudekMts'  Cooperation 

Wednesday,  Oct.  10  -  Leo  (iilson  announced  today  that  the 
'Student  Book  Exchaiij^e  has.  this  year,  more  than  trebled  its  vol- 
I'Mic  ot  business  over  any  previous  year.  (;ils<«i.  the  head  of  the 
E.vchauf^e,  stated  that  the  sole  ])ur|)ose  of  the  student-run  exchanj^e 
Was  to  H'^''  'I"'  students  ol  Williams  College  a  better  deal  on  the 
buying  and  sellini;  of  their  books. " 

O . 

The  main  reason  for  such  tre- 
mendous increase  in  business  was  |  '^f  f^  f 
caused  by  the  largest  turnover  of  j  |nr  Cl/  K^OXfiXflCTiC^S 
used  books  in  the  history  of  the 
book  exchange.  As  of  publication 
date,  the  sales  of  books  for  the 
students  amounted  to  approxi- 
mately $1100  as  compared  with 
the  amount  of  $280  for  the  same 
period  last  year.  Of  course,  the 
success  or  failure  of  this  project 
is  governed  by  the  cooperation  of 
the  entire  student  body.

Williams  Rolls  to  Convincing  42-0  Shutout  Victory 
Over  Colby  As  Powerful  Ground  Game  Leads  Way; 
Potter  Paces  Attack  By  Scoring  Three  Touchdowns 


By  Sandy  Hansell 

Saturday,  Oct.  6  -  Featuring  me- 
thodical and  bruising — If  unin- 
spiring—football, the  Williams 
College  powerhouse  ploughed  Its 
way  to  a  convincing  42-0  victory 
over  the  Colby  Mules  before  2000 
fans  at  Weston  Field  today.  It  was 
the  Ephs'  second  consecutive 
romp  In  as  many  outings  this  sea- 
son. 

A  relentless  ground  attack,  con- 
servative, consistent  and  unspec- 
tacular, was  the  whole  story  as  the 
Mules  were  outmatched  In  both 
quality  and  quantity.  Utilizing  two 
equally-talented  platoons,  rock- 
ribbed  line  play  and  hard-driving 
backs  all  to  full  advantage,  the 
Purple  steamroller  racked  up  23 
first  downs  on  the  ground  with  a 
total  of  298  yards  rushing.  The  lo- 
cals were  never  forced  to  punt 
during  the  entire  battle. 

Line  Smashes 

Realizing  the  probable  presence 
of  enemy  scouts  and  the  lack  of  a 
need  for  anything  else,  coach  Len 
Walters  had  his  men  play  It  close 
to  the  vest,  concentrating  on  power 
football  and  emphasizing  short- 
gaining  line  smashes  between  the 
tackles.  End  sweeps  and  passes 
were  kept  to  a  minimum. 

The  game  was  never  In  doubt 
after  Williams  tallied  two  touch- 
downs In  the  first  period  and  add- 
ed another  in  the  second.  The 
Ephs  crossed  the  goal  line  six 
times  and  were  stopped  Inside  the 
ten  on  two  other  occasions. 

Colby  Ftfhts  Hard 
The  defeat  certainly  was  no  dls- 


The  main  advantage  of  selling 
books  to  the  Book  Exchange,  is 
that  it  eliminates  the  cost  of  sup- 
porting the  middle-man.  Gilson 
pointed  out  that  the  exchange  was 
started  with  the  help  of  the  col- 
lege. The  college  gave  $360  worth 
of  bookcases  which  is  being  paid 
off  b;;  the  small  profit  received  by 
each  sale.  The  exchange  now  re- 
ceives a  10  per  cent  commission 
on  each  book.  This  all  goes  to  pay 
off  the  debts,  as  soon  as  these  are 
paid  off  the  commission  will  be 
reduced  to  5  per  cent.  All  the 
workers  are  paid  salaries,  so  there 
is  no  reason  to  charge  exorbi- 
tant prices  to  get  a  large  profit. 

Students  who  bring  their  books 
to  the  exchange  sell  their  books  for 
whatever  price  they  wish,  and 
when  the  books  are  sold  they  re- 
ceive their  money  immediately. 
"Books  that  are  not  sold  because 
they  are  obsolete  or  are  no  longer 
used,  are  sold  to  a  concern  in  New

who  would  be  interested",  stated 
Phil  McKean,  one  of  the  officers 
of  the  WCC.  The  WCC  is  already 
in  full  swing  and  a  varied  and  in- 
teresting program  has  been  set  up 
for  the  1956-57  school  year. 

One  ot  the  many  big  vj'eekend 
programs  begins  October  19-20  at 
Rabbit  Hollow,  a  camp  in  New 
Hampshire  for  underpriviledged 
children  from  East  Harlem.  N.Y. 
It  was  built  and  has  been  main- 
tained by  college  volunteer  labor 
and  has  been  the  source  of  much 
enjoyment  and  good  will  in  the 
past.  Anyone  that  is  interested 
may  attend.  As  an  added  incentive, 
girls  from  the  surrounding  colleges 
— namely  Smith  and  Mt.  Holyoke 
— will  also  be  on  hand.

Scoring  Records  Threatened 

Totaling  88  points  In  two  out- 
ings, the  1956  Ephs  are  thi-eaten- 
ing  to  become  one  of  the  highest 
.scoring  aggregations  in  Williams 
history.  Last  year  for  example,  it 
required  six  games  for  the  Purple 
to  surpass  that  figure  and  they 
have  already  registered  more 
points  this  campaign  than  all  dur- 
ing the  .season  two  years  ago. 

Individually  today  Joel  Potter,

Sunday.  Oct.  7  -  In  recognition 
of  the  political  potency  of  the  In- 
dependent Voter.  Profs.  James  M. 
Burns  and  Philip  K.  Hastings  ot 
the  Political  Science  and  Psychol- 
ogy Departments  have  again  con- 
ducted the  Pittsfield  Study  ot  'Vot- 
ing Trends.  The  results  of  the  in- 
tensive research  were  revealed  in 
an  article  entitled  "As  the  Inde- 
pendent Voter  Goes  . . ."  which  ap- 
peared in  the  October  7  issue  of 
"The  New  York  Times"  Sunday 
Magazine. 

Briefly,  the  survey  Involves  "a 
probability  sampling  technique 
with  interviewers  polling  a  cross- 
section  of  200  people ".  Past  voting 
studies  of  the  views  of  residents 
of  Pittsfield,  Mass..  as  conducted 
in  1952  and  1954  have  proved  satis- 
factorily accurate  when  compared 
with  national  political  attitudes. 

Several  definite  conclusions  were 
reached  by  pollsters  Bums  and 
Hastings  from  their  efforts:  1) 
"In  contrast  to  1952.  President  El- 
senhower has  not  as  yet  this  year 
won  the  battle  for  the  indepen- 
dents. 2)  Adlai  Stevenson  Is  hav- 
ing his  troubles  too  . . .  but  with 
a  different  group,  the  Democratic 
leaners.  Tlie  1956  political  cam- 
paign will  present  a  battle  largely 
fought  within  these  two  target 
groups  who  seem  to  lend  varied 
Importances  to  the  problems  of 
this  country  today." 


THE  WILLIAMS  RECOHU  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  10,  1956 


Text  Of  Speech  By  The  Honorable 
Sesquicentennial   Convocation  At 


John  Foster  Dulles,  at  the  Haystack 
Williams  College,  October  6,  1956 


1  speak  to  you  today  of  some  of  tlie  probli'iiis  of  pt'aci'.  Tliat 
is,  1  know,  an  old  subject.  Hut,  unliappilv,  it  is  also  a  \itv  li\c  sub- 
ject. And  it  is  not  too  luilike  the  American  Missiouaiv  Movement 
whose  beninninji  we  e<'lel)rate  toilav. 

(,)uiucy  Wiijjlit,  in  his  "Study  ol  War,"  hsts  278  wars  fought 
between  1480  and  1941.  That  is  .)  wars  every  five  years,  Several 
of  these  wars,  including;  World  War  11,  were  fought  after  the 
League  of  Nations  was  formed  and  after  the  Pact  of  I'aris  had 
piedned  all  the  nations  to  abolish  war.  .\lso  sexeral  wars  have  been 
fought  since  the  Uniteil  Nations  was  formed  in  1945,  These  in- 
clude the  Korean  War,  the  Indochina  War,  and  the  Israeli-. Vrab 
War.  At  this  very  moment  wars  are  today  a  threatening  possibility 
in  several  parts  of  the  world. 

Danger  Eccr  Present 
The  tact  is  that  war  will  be  an  e\er  present  dauber  until 
there  are  better  do\eloped  institutions  for  jieace,  such  as  an  ade- 
(|nate  bodv  of  international  law,  an  international  police  force, 
and  a  reduction  ol  national  armaments.  Today  we  live,  and  1  fear 
for  long  shall  live,  under  the  shadow  of  war,  ()nly  if  we  are  vividly 
conscious  of  this  fact  will  we  make  the  exertions  necessary  to 
prcM'ut  war.  So,  I  talk  aj^ain  toda\',  as  1  ha\'e  sjioken  so  often  in 
the  past,  about  peace. 

Let  us  first  of  all  recognize  that  war  is  not  |)revented  merely 
by  hatini;  war  and  loving  peace.  Since  the  beginning,  the  peoples 
of  the  workl  have  hated  war  antl  longed  for  peace.  But  that  has 
not  gained  them  peace.  It  has  been  amph'  demonstrated  that  the 
likelihood  of  peace  is  not  nieasin-ed  by  the  intensity  of  peace- 
lo\  iug  protestations.  The  Stockholm  Peace  Proposal  is  an  example. 
By  this  ruse  the  Soviet  lulcis  sought  to  turn  the  widespread 
urge  for  peace  to  their  own  uses.  It  contributed  nothing  to  genuine 
])eace.  Even  a  sincere  effort  like  the  Pact  of  Paris  showed  the 
futilitv  of  attempting  to  abolish  war  without  creating  ade(|uate 
effective  compensating  institutions  to  replace  war.  The  fact  is  that 
love  of  peace,  by  itself,  has  uev  er  been  sufficient  to  deter  war.

Principle  of  Deterrence 
Now,  one  of  the  gieat  advances  of  oin-  time  is  recognition 
that  one  of  the  wavs  to  prevent  war  is  to  deter  it  by  having  the 
will  and  the  capacity  to  use  force  to  punish  an  aggressor.  This 
involves  applying,  within  the  society  of  nations,  the  principle 
used  within  a  community  to  deter  violence.  There,  laws  are  adopt- 
ed which  define  crimes  and  their  punishment.  Thus  there  is  en- 
forcement machinery.  This  jjiinciple  of  deterrence  does  not  ojjer- 
ate  100  jjcr  cent  even  in  the  best  oideicd  communities.  But  it  is 
conceded  to  be  effective  and  can  be  usefully  extended  into  the 
society  of  nations.  Indeed,  that  princiijle  was  incorporated  into  the 
Charter  of  the  United  Nations.  Article  44  authorized  the  Security 
Council  to  use  force,  and  the  niembeis  were  re(|uired  to  provide 
armed  forces  necessary  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  inter- 
national ))eace  and  security.  Howevei-,  those  provisions  of  the 
Charter  have  ni'ver  been  implemented  because  of  the  Soviet  veto. 
The  principle  of  deterrence  has  had  to  find  its  expression  in  collec- 
tive self-defense  arrangements  which  are  authorized  by  Article 
51  of  the  Charter, 

The  United  States  now  has  such  collective  self-defense  ar- 
rangements with  42  other  nations.  These  give  notice  to  any  poten- 
tial aggressor  that  an  attack  upon  one  wf)uld  involve  a  reaction 
by  many,  including  the  United  States,  designed  to  pimish  the 
aggressor  to  such  an  extent  as  to  make  aggression  unprofitable. 

V(tndenhnr<i  Quote 
As  Senator  \'andenburg  said  in  the  Senate  as  he  siionsored  the 
North  Atlantic  Treaty:  "Its  invincible  jiower  for  iieace  is  the  awe- 
some fact  that  any  aggressor  upon  the  North  Atlantic  community 
knows  in  advance  that  fiom  the  very  moment  he  launched  his 
cou<)uest  he  will  forthwith  face  whatever  cumulative  opjiosition 
these  united  allies  in  their-  own  wisdom  deem  necessary  to  beat 
him  to  his  knees  and  to  restore  (leace  and  security." 

Tlirongh  the  ilexelopment  of  "this  'knock-out'  adiuonition"  — 
to  use  another  of  Vandeubnrg's  jihrases  —  a  considerable  barrier 
to  war  has  been  erected.  But  it  would  be  folly  to  consider  that 
the  admonition  alone  constitutes  an  impenetrable  barrier  to  war. 
Tlic  effectiveness  of  the  admonition  depends  upon  the  continuing 
possession  within  the  collective  grou])  of  both  the  will  ancl  the 
capacity  to  act  effectively  if  there  should  be  aggression.  The  mili- 
tary program  of  the  United  States,  including  so-called  "foreign 
aid,"  rejiresents  the  cost  of  this  form  of  |5eace  insurance.  It  is 
necessary  insurance,  although  concededly  only  partial  insurance. 

A'o  Peace  Without  Jimfiee 
Another  aspect  of  the  problem  is  that  there  can  never,  in  the 
long  nm,  be  an  honest,  deijendable  peace  indess  there  is  justice 
and  law.  Even  today  there  are  grave  injustices  such  as  the  servi- 
tude of  the  Soviet  satellite  states  and  the  division  of  Germany, 
But  even  if  perfect  justice  were  once  achieved,  it  would  not  auto- 
matically be  a  condition  to  be  perpetuated,  (Change  is  the  law  of 
life  and  new  conditions  are  constantly  arising  which  call  for  reme- 
dy lest  there  be  injustice.  Such  injustices  tend  ultimately  to  lead  to 
force  ludess  other  means  exist. 

The  point  is  illustrated  by  an  hi.slorical  atlas,  I  suppose  no 
one  would  feel  the  political  division  of  the  world  as  if  was  .50

years  ago,  100  years  ago,  or  5(K)  years  ago  should  have  been  per- 
petuated. Yet  almost  tlie  only  way  of  change  has  been  the  use  ol 
force.  Within  a  nation,  or  within  a  family  of  nations,  violence  is 
inevitable  unless  there  are  peaceful  means  of  remedying  injustices 
when  they  arise. 

Peace,  Justice  and  tlie  VN 

This  relationship  of  peace  and  justice  was  much  considered  at 
the  time  of  the  making  of  the  United  Nations  Charter.  The  Char- 
ier, as  originally  drafted  at  Dumbarton  Oaks,  involved  no  standard 
of  |ustice.  The  exclusive  emphasis  was  upon  peace,  as  though  jjeace 
tould  be  had  permanently  irrespective  of  justice. 

1  recall  urging,  in  March  1945  following  the  Dumbarton  Oaks 
C^onference  but  before  the  San  Francisco  C^onference,  "That  the 
organization  should  be  infused  with  an  ethical  spirit,  the  spirit  ol 
justice."  I  went  on  to  say;  "1  reahze  full  well  that  'justice'  is  not 
readily  defined,  it  means  different  things  to  different  men.  But 
it  means  something,  and  something  very  vital,  to  all  men.  The 
C;harter  should  require  the  new  organization,  as  its  first  order  of 
business,  to  undertake  the  difficult  but  essential  task  of  deyelop- 
ing  conceptions  of  justice  by  which  it  will  be  guided.  Only  tlius 
will  it  survive." 

Charter  Amendment 

At  the  San  Francisco  Conference  this  concept  was  found 
generally  accejitable.  The  Charter  was  amended  accordingly.  The 
most  significant  of  these  amendments  is  foimd  iu  the  very  first 
article  of  the  Charter.  This  Article  One  states  tha  purpose  of  the 
United  Nations  to  be  "To  bring  about  by  peaceful  means,  ad- 
justments or  setllenients  of  international  disputes  or  situations 
which  might  lead  to  a  breach  of  (leace. "  At  San  Francisco  it  was 
amended  to  say  that  the  peaceful  settlement  must  be  "in  conform- 
ity with  the  principles  of  justice  and  international  law." 

Thus,  when  the  United  Nations  deals  with  the  problem  of 
adjusting  and  settling  disputes  and  situations  which  may  endan- 
ger the  peace,  it  is  reciuired  to  operate  as  a  court  of  e<|iiity  a|)ply- 
iug  the  princijiles  of  justice  as  may  seem  relevant  to  any  particular 
set  of  facts.  This  is  not  always  easy  to  do.  World  opinion  readily 
opposes  force.  But  it  does  not  so  readily  support  "justice, "  which 
is  often  a  vague  and  disputable  concept.  Nevertheless,  those  who 
love  and  want  peace  must  recognize  that  imless  tbey  exert  them- 
selves as  vigorously  for  justice  as  they  do  for  peace  they  are  not 
apt  to  have  ])eace.  Peace  is  a  coin  which  has  two  sides.  One  side 
is  the  renoiniciation  of  force,  the  other  side  is  the  according  of 
justice.  Peace  and  justice  are  insejiarable. 
The  Suez  Situation 

A  very  practical  illustration  of  the  inter-dependence  of  peace 
and  justice  is  the  present  Suez  canal  situation,  lliere  the  govern- 
ment of  Egypt  took  to  itself  exclusive  control  of  the  o))eration  of 
this  waterway  which,  since  its  ince])tion,  had  been  operated 
through  an  international  regime.  The  Egyptian  govennnent  took 
this  action  under  conditions  which  suggested  an  intention  to  exer- 
cise this  control  not  in  the  general  interest  but  to  ]iromote  the  so- 
called  "grandein  "  of  Egypt  by  iieing  able  to  exert  economic  pres- 
sures upon  other  countries  for  whom  the  Suez  Canal  is  in  an  al- 
most literal  sense  a  life  line.  Their  economic  welfare  depends 
upon  the  availability  of  the  canal,  upon  its  technical  competence 
and  impartial  oi^eration.  There  should  be  no  risk  of  overt  or  covert 
discrimination  as  between  users  who  were  given  the  right  of  free 
and  i_.|u<d  tiausi;  In  the  ticat)-,  of  perpetual  duration,  made  in 
1888.  No  nation  should  be  required  to  live  under  an  economic 
"sword  of  Damocles," 

There  has  been  strong  world-wide  sentiment  against  using 
force  to  right  this  situation.  This  is  natural  and  |>roper.  But  those 
who  are  concerned  about  peace  ought  to  be  equally  concerned 
about  justice.  Is  it  just,  or  even  tolerable,  tljat  great  nations  wbich 
have  rights  under  the  1888  treaty  ijnd  whose  economies  depend 
upon  the  use  of  the  Canal  should  ai)gept  an  exclusive  control  of 
this  international  waterway  by  a  government  which  jirofesses  to 
be  bitterly  hostile'?  This  is  the  issue  now  before  the  United  Na- 
tions Security  Council,  and  it  faces  that  organization  with  a  cru- 
cial test. 

Effort  For  Peace 

A  final  point  1  would  like  to  make  to  you  is  that  peace  will 
never  be  won  unless  there  is  the  same  constant  effort  to  win  peace 
as  is  exerted  in  time  of  war  to  win  victory.  We  have  seen  that 
throughout  the  ages  peace  has  been  wanted;  but  war  has  been 
had.  We  also  see  throughout  tlie  ages  that  in  time  of  war  success 
goes  not  merely  to  those  who  want  victory  but  to  those  who  dem- 
onstrate the  capacity  and  the  sacrificial  qualities  needed  to  win  it. 
On  the  other  hand  peace  is  traditionally  looked  upon  as  a  time  of 
relaxation,  when  no  S|)ecial  effort,  when  no  special  sacrifices  are 
re(|uired. 

The  fact  is  that  waging  peace  is  as  difficult  a  task  as  waging 
war.  It  calls  for  many  of  the  same  qualities  and  for  at  least  some 
measure  of  sacrifice.  Today  this  country  is  making  considerable 
sacrifices  in  the  waging  of  peace.  These  are  measured  by  the 
military  service  of  our  youth;  by  the  expenditure  of  about  ten  per 
cent  of  our  gross  national  production  for  defensive  purposes;  by

MARKING  ON  THE  CURVE... 
AND  WHAT  TO  DO  ABOUT  IT 

Twonkey  Crimscott  wa.s  a  professor.  Choate  Sigafoos 
wa.s  a  sophomore.  Twonkey  Crimscott  was  keen,  cold, 
brilliant.  Choate  Sigafoos  was  loose,  vague,  adenoidal. 
Twonkey  Crim.scott  believed  in  diligence,  discipline,  and 
marking  on  the  curve.  Choate  Sigafoos  believed  in  elves, 
Jayne  Mansfield,  and  thirteen  hours  sleep  each  night. 

Yet  there  came  a  time  when  Twonkey  Crim.scott  — 
mentor,  sage,  and  savant  —  was  thoroughly  out-thought, 
out-foxed,  out-maneuvered,  out-ployed,  and  out-witted 
by  Choate  Sigafoos,  sophomore. 

It  happened  one  day  when  Choate  was  at  the  library 
studying  for  one  of  Mr.  Crimscott's  exams  in  sociology. 
Mr.  Crimscott's  exams  were  murder  —plain.  Hat  murder. 
They  consisted  of  one  hundred  questions,  each  question 
having  four  possible  answers— A,  H,  C,  and  D.  The  trouble 
was  that  the  four  choices  were  so  subtly  shaded,  so  in- 
tricately worded,  that  students  more  clever  by  far  than 
Choate  Sigafoos  were  often  set  to  gibbering. 

So  on  this  day  Choate  sat  in  the  library  poring  over 
his  sociology  text,  his  tiny  brow  furrowed  with  concen- 
tration, while  all  around  him  sat  the  other  members  of 
the  sociology  class,  every  one  studying  like  crazy.  "What 
a  waste!"  he  thought.  "All  this  youth,  this  verve,  this 
bounce,  chained  to  musty  books  in  a  musty  library!  We 
should  be  out  singing  and  dancing  and  smooching  and 
cutting  didoes  on  the  greensward!" 

Then,  suddenly,  an  absolute  ga.sser  of  an  idea  hit 
Choate.  "Listen!"  he  shouted  to  his  classmates.  "Tomor- 
row when  we  take  the  exam,  let's  all  —  every  one  of  us  — 
check  Choice  'A'  on  every  question  — every  one  of  them." 

"Huh?"  said  his  classmates. 

"Mr.  Crimscott  marks  on  the  curve.  If  we  all  check 
the  same  answers,  then  we  all  get  the  same  score,  atid 
everybody  in  the  class  gets  a  'C'." 

"Hmm,"  said  his  classmates. 

"Let's  get  out  of  here  and  have  a  ball!"  said  Choate. 

So  they  all  ran  out  and  lit  Philip  Morrises  and  had 
a  ball,  as,  indeed,' you  will  too  when  you  light  a  Philip 
Morris,  for  if  there  ever  was  a  cigarette  to  lift  the  spirit 
and  gladden  the  heart,  it  is  today's  new  Philip  Morris- 
firm  and  pure  and  fragrant  and  filled  with  true,  natural, 
golden  tobacco,  lip  end  to  tip  end. 


.:^&'ikialdheOui6tn6in6^^ddmmMitnoocW6^ 


Well  sir,  the  next  morning  the  whole  class  did  what 
Choate  .said  and,  sure  enough,  they  all  got  "C's,"  and  they 
picked  Choate  up  and  carried  him  on  their  shoulders  and 
sang  "For  He's  a  Jolly  Good  Fellow"  and  plied  him  with 
sweetmeats  and  Philip  Morris  and  girls  and  put  on 
buttons  which  .said  "I  DOTE  ON  CHOATE." 

But  they  were  celebrating  too  soon.  Because  the  next 
time  shrewd  old  Mr.  Crimscott  gave  them  a  test,  he  gave 
them  only  one  que.stion-to  wit:  write  a  30,000  word 
essay  on  "Crime  Does  Not  Pay." 

"You  and  your  ideas,"  they  said  to  Choate  and  tore 
off  his  epaulets  and  broke  his  sword  and  drummed  him 
out  of  the  school.  Today,  a  broken  man,  he  earns  a  meager 
living  as  a  camshaft  in  Toledo.

to  the  need.  Time  after  time  vour  j;o\crnnient  seeks  the  .services 
(il  especially  <nialified  persons  for  urj^ent  tasks  wliich  need  to  be

thus  soujjht  woidd  unhesitatinj^ly  respond.  In  time  of  peace  thev 
find  leasons  for  not  responding.  The  reason  may  be  genuine,  but 
they  reflect  the  general  feeling  that  peace  does  not  reipiire  the 
kind  of  sacrifice  that  would  unhesitatingly  be  made  in  time  of  war. 

.Mankind  will  never  win  lasting  peace  so  long  as  men  use 
their  fidl  resources  only  when  it  comes  to  tasks  of  war.  The  task 
of  peac<'  is  one  fhat  recpiires  an  effort  like  one  re(|uired  to  win  a 
great  war.  Why  should  we  not  make  that  effort':'  .Neither  \oice  nor

should  we  not.  to  win  the  peace,  develop  and  use  the  (|nalities 
that  would  be  evoked  in  the  effort  to  win  a  war?  This  is  a 
i|uosti()n  to  be  answered  in  national  terms  as  we  strive  to  institu-

Eastern  Group  Chooses 
Stars  of  107  Schools 


Sunday.  Oct,  7  -  The  Eastern 
Collegiate  Athletic  Conference  has 
selected  Chip  Ide  for  lis  All-East 
squad  for  the  week  of  Oct.  1  on 
the  basis  of  his  outstanding  per- 
formance in  the  Trinity  game  at 
Hartford  on  Sept.  29.  Ide  scored 
three  touchdowns  and  averaged 
over  12  yards  per  cany  in  leading 
the  Ephmen  to  an  ea.sy  46-7  vic- 
tory at  the  expense  of  Trinity. 

The  All-East  team  Is  sslected  on 
the  basis  of  performance  In  that 
week's  game  and  on  the  account  of 
sportswrlters  in  the  area.  The 
ECAC  comprises  107  colleges  and 
universities  from  Maine  to  'Vir- 
ginia along  the  Atlantic  .seaboard. 
The  Oct.  1  selection  included  re- 
presentatives from  Plllsburgh, 
Syracu.se.  Colgate  and  Bucknell  as 
well  as  Williams'  Chip  Ide. 

Coach  Len  Watters  of  Williams 
predicted  that  Joel  Potter  might 
well  be  on  this  week's  All- 
East  team  on  the  basis  of 
his  performance  against  Colby 
last  Saturday.  Potter  scored 
three  times  and  gained  consider- 
able yardage  through  the  center 
of  the  Mule  forward  wall. 


Tight  Defense,  Two  Plaloons  Excel  As  Eph  Team

Witters  Lauds  Team 
After   Colby   Victory 

Middlebury  Single  Wing 
Presents  New  Threat 

Sunday,  Oct.  7  -  Coach  Len 
Watters  reported  today  that  there 
were  no  serious  injuries  in  yester- 
day's encounter  with  the  Colby 
football  eleven.  Three  men,  though, 
received  minor  injuiies. 

After  being  asked  for  additional 
comment.  Coach  Walters  was  hap- 
py to  note  that  he  thought  his 
team  behaved  admirably  In  a 
rough  second  half.  He  also  thought 
the  overall  team  performance  was 
excellent. 

Commenting  on  the  forthcoming 
game  with  Middlebury,  the  Wil- 
liams coach  said  this  week's  prac- 
tice would  be  pretty  much  the 
same  routine.  He  mentioned,  how- 
ever, that  some  adjustment  would 
have  to  be  made  as  the  Williams' 
eleven  will  be  facing  a  single-wing 
Offense  for  the  first  time  this  sea- 
son. Some  emphasis  would  also  be 
put  on  passing  and  pass  defense, 
he  added. 


Four  Williams  Alumni  Swimmers 
Compete  In  U.  S.  Olympic  Trials 


By  Simeral  Bunch 

Wednesday.  Oct.  10  -  Four  Wil- 
liams alumni  participated  in  one 
of  the  fastest  swimming  competi- 
tions ever  held  in  the  United 
States.  The  competition  was  the 
United  States  Olympic  Swimming 
and  Diving  Team  Trials  held  in 
Detroit  last  August.  Although  none 
made  the  Olumpic  team  which  will 
be  coached  by  Williams  swimming 
coach  Bob  Muir.  all  turned  In  cre- 
ditable performances. 

Buster  Grossman  '56.  was  enter- 
ed in  the  three  meter  springboard 
diving  competition  and  finished 
30th  out  of  36  entrants  in  the 
event.  Bill  Martin  '53.  whose  re- 
cords in  the  50  and  100  yard  free- 
style still  remain  unbeaten  at 
Williams,  turned  in  a  59.8  in  the 
100  meter  freestyle  to  take  third 
in  his  heat.  Charlie  Douglas  '54. 
and  Richard  Jeffrey  '52.  turned  in 
times  of  2:58.5  and  2:58.6  respec- 
tively to  take  third  and  fourth  in 
their  heat  of  the  200  yard  breast- 
stroke.  Martin.  Douglas  and  Jeff- 
ley  are  all  former  captains  of  the 
Williams  swimming  team. 

"Top  Notch  Team" 

From  the  meet,  coach  Muir  got 
a  top-notch  team  whose  chances 
"look  as  good  as  any  previous 
Olympics".  Muir  notes  at  the  same 
time  that  the  United  States  has 
copped  the  unofficial  team  victory 
In  every  Olympics  save  the  1932 
meet.  Tlie  competition,  he  went 
on.  hinges  on  Australia  and  Japan, 
both  of  which  have  superior  teams 
also  and  will  likely  turn  the  swim- 
ming Olympics  into  a  sort  of  "Big 
Three"  race.  France  and  Hungary 
as  well  as  several  other  small  coun- 
tries have  men  who  will  snatch  a 
few  places,  but  the  majority  of 
places  will  go  to  the  "Big  Three". 

Coach  Muir  called  the  men's 
team  excellent  and  the  women's 
team  the  "finest  since  1928".  He 
also  predicted  that  the  United 
States  would  take  1-2-3  In  high 
and  low  board  diving  in  both  the 
men's  and  women's  events.  All  In 
all.  the  prospects  seem  quite  bright 
for  the  United  States  as  the  XVI 
Olympiad  gets  underway  at  Mel- 
bourne. Australia,  on  November  28.

Prospects  Noted 

Asked  about  prospects  by  event. 
Muir  looked  pleased  as  he  related 
the  United  States'  chances  in  the 
100  meter  freestyle.  Bill  Woolsey 
and  Dick  Hanley  are  a  to.ss-up  in 
the  event,  with  tough  competition 
from  Australia's  Jon  Hendricks. 
Hanley.  who  took  third  in  the  Tri- 
als, has  turned  in  the  best  time 
155.71  for  an  American  yet. 

In  the  200  meter  butterfly  Bill 
Yorzyk.  formerly  of  Springfield 
College,  looks  like  an  easy  winner. 
He  holds  the  present  world  record 
in  the  event  1 2:19.0 1.  Competition 
w'll  come  in  the  form  of  Japan's 
Takashi.  Muir  said,  but  Yorzyk 
should  still  come  out  ahead. 

Australians  Strong 

In  the  800  meter  freestyle  relay 
Australia  has  a  faster  team,  but 
Coach  Muir  Is  confident  that  Ford 
Konno.  George  Breen.  Dick  Han- 
ley and  Bill  Woolsey  can  upset  the 
Australians.  Tim  Jecko.  captain  of 
last  year's  Yale  Freshman  team. 
Rex  Harrison  and  Tenabi  are  al- 
ternates on  the  team. 

In  the  400  meter  freestyle  the 
unorthodox  swimming  of  George 
Breen  is  expected  to  bring  another 
place  to  the  United  States  team. 
Tlie  Cortland  State  Teachers  Col- 
lege iN.Y.)  student's  main  compe- 
tition will  come  from  former  gold 
medalist  Bordeaux  of  France. 
Backing  up  Breen  will  be  Bill 
Woolsey  and  George  Onekea,  both 
from  Hawaii. 

Gold  Medal  Winners 

Yoshi  Oyakawa.  gold  medal  win- 
ner at  the  last  Olympic  Games. 
F.nnk  McKinney  and  Al  Wiggins 
will  be  tough  competition  for  any- 
one in  the  100  meter  backstroke. 
George  Breen  will  again  be  seen 
in  the  1500  meter  freestyle,  In 
which  he  holds  the  world  record 
and  should  repeat.  George  Onekea 
and  Radcliff  will  back  him  up. 
while  Tsukasa  of  Japan  is  expected 
to  be  very  tough  competition. 

Mr.  Muir  will  leave  Williams  for 
the  AAU  convention  In  Los  Ange- 
les on  October  23.  following  which 
he  will  work  with  the  team.  On 
November  8  the  team  leaves  for 
Honolulu  for  two  days,  and  then 
will  proceed  to  Melbourne.  Mrs. 
Muir,  who  will  be  an  Olympic  of- 
ficial, will  accompany  the  team 
also.  Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Muir  ex- 
pect to  return  to  WllUamstown 
about  December  13.

and  Bruce  Listerman.  a  fourth,  to

Among  the  many  standouts  were 
Dick  Fearon  on  offense,  and  de- 
fensively. Rich  Kagen.  Joe  Ri-

Whitey  Kaufman.  Three  minor  in- 
juries occurred  in  the  tilt.  Tom 
Higgins  was  knocked  out,  Joel  Pot- 
ter broke  his  nose  and  Gary  Short- 
lidge  suffered  a  shoulder  separa- 
tion. All  three  are  expected  to  be 
ready  for  this  week's  game,  how- 
ever. 

Tlie  Ephs  are  preparing  to  take 
on  a  tough  Middlebury  squad  at 
Weston  Field  Saturday  while,  in 
two  weeks,  they  will  travel  to  Bow- 
doin.  One  of  the  most  important 
games  of  the  season,  outside  of 
Little  Tliree  competition,  perhaps 
the  biggest  anyway  from  the 
standpoint  of  prestige,  will  be  the 
long-awaited  tussle  with  highly- 
rated  Tufts,  set  for  the  following 
weekend  here  as  part  of  the  annual 
Pall  Houseparty  festivities.  Tufts 
demonstrated  their  power  last 
weekend  in  upsetting  favored  Har- 
vard by  one  touchdown.

Saturday.  Oct.  6  -  Opening  their 
1956  Cross  Country  season  against 
UMass.  at  Amherst,  the  Purple 
harriers  today  we;e  overpowered 
by  their  strong  running  opponents. 
17-38.  With  ideal  weather  condi- 
tions and  a  familiar  cour.se.  the 
Redmen  swept  the  first  three 
places,  fifth  and  sixth  to  chalk  up 
their  first  victory  of  the  year.  Eph 
sophomore  standout  George  Sud- 
duth  pressed  the  second  and  third 
place  winners  all  the  way.  but  to 
no  avail.  The  winning  time  was 
within  twenty-eight  seconds  of  the 
course  record. 

Long  Course 

Coach  Tony  Plansky,  asked  to 
comment  on  the  meet,  said  that 
although  the  boys  ran  well,  they 
were  not  used  to  a  coinse  of  such 
great  length  ifour  and  a  quarter 
miles).  He  also  stated  that  many 
"blisters  and  colds"  bothered  the 
runners,  but  did  not  wish  to  make 
excuses.  One  of  the  main  reasons 
for  UMass. 's  good  showing  was 
their  sophomores,  who  last  year 
were  New  England  Champions  as 
fre.shmen. 

Placing  behind  Sudduth  for  the 
Ephmen  was  Jeiry  Tipper,  seventh. 
Jim  Hecker.  eighth,  Bill  Fox, 
ninth,  and  Dave  Canfield.  tenth. 
Next  Saturday  the  Varsity  thin- 
clads  will  come  home  to  play  host 
to  a  triangular  meet  with  M.I.T. 
and  Sp:ingfield  College.

THE  WILLIAMS  HECOHD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  10,  1956 


Second  Faculty  Poll  Determines 
Opinions  On  Labor,  Agriculture, 
Foreign  Policy,  Other  Issues 

Continued  from  PiiBe  1,  Col.  1 
l)c  throe  or  four  vcius  Ix-lort"  Stevenson  hail  enoni^h  evperieneed 
leiuU'rship  in  world  afhiirs.  A  nieniher  of  the  Komauie  l,anniia);;es 
Department  who  ehose  Stevenson  said  that  the  issue  was  "Lrink- 
nianship  \s.  strong  containment". 

Tiie  second  most  important  issue  was  farm  jjollcv.  Said  Mr. 
Clark:  we  need  a  "higher  lexel  of  support  h)r  farm  incomes  rthile 
acreage  controls,  financial  and  technical  assistance  to  small  larm- 
ers,  and  f;eneral  economic  i^rowth  promote  a  longer-run  .sohr.ioii.' 

Other  issues  considered  important  weri'  desenreijatiou,  na- 
tural resources,  improvement  of  social  conditions,  the  predomi- 
nance of  bi^  business,  and  inflation.  Federal  aid  to  I'dncation  and 
Nixon  were  also  mentioned. 

Coniincnts  on  Issiicx 

A  separate  (|uestioiniaire  was  distributed  to  members  of  the 
Social  Science  Departments  h)  determine  their  positions  on  spe- 
cific issues. 

The  majority  disagreed  that  a  Republican  \ictory  would  bet- 
ter insure  world  ))eaee  than  a  Democratic  \  ictorv.  Kcouoniics 
teacher  |ohn  Power  said  that  "Dulles  has  felt  compelled  ...  to 
speak  one  way  at  home  to  a])|)ease  the  'Old  CJuard'  while  trvini; 
to  follow  an  op])osite  line  in  diplomatic  nej^otiations,"  prevontin)^ 
a  consistent  policy.  Those  ))olled  disagreed  stronglv  that  the  He- 
]nihlicans  ha\e  a  more  effective  foreign  ])oliev.  (Chairman  ol  the 
Political  Science  De|)artnient,  Vincent  Paniett,  said  that  the  Re- 
publican view  of  the  world  situation  was  "insuffieientlv  aware  of 
the  battle  for  unilerdevt'loped  areas". 

Most  disagreed  with  the  statement  that  Stevenson,  who  lacks 
Southern  snjiport,  couldn't  handle  segregation  effectivelv.  Many 
felt  that  the  issue  was  non-partisan,  that  it  had  to  be  worked  out 
on  the  local  levels,  or  too  complex  h)r  auv  effective  ))oliev. 

Opinion  was  eveulv  divided  on  which  partv  could  present  a 
better  solution  to  the  farm  ])roblcni.  Said  a  member  of  the  History 
Department;  "No  one  can  solve  the  larm  |iroblem  witliout  in-

this  was  more  possible  under  a  Democratic  administration.  Said 
Chairman  of  the  liconomics  Department  William  Cates:  "The 
Democrats  will  be  less  hesitant  to  use  monetary  and  fiscal  policy

Theatre  Director 
Reveals  Schedule 


Gertrude  Stein  Reading 
Opens  in  Two  Weeks 


Dulles  .  .  . 


Wcdnesduy.  Oct.  10  -  Under  the 
diiection  of  Mr.  Giles  Playtalr  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre  begins 
this  year's  schedule  of  productions 
with  the  concert  reading  "Yes  Is 
for  a  'Very  Young  Man"  by  Ger- 
trude Stein.  Tuesday,  Oct.  23.  This 
is  the  first  year  the  AMT  or  Cap 
and  Bells,  the  student  oiganiza- 
llon  which  acts  as  the  producinK 
agent  for  all  presentations,  have 
included  concert  readings  in  their 
schedule. 

"These  readings  which,  presen- 
tatlonally,  will  be  somewhat  akin 
to  broadcast  performances,  are  in- 
tended to  give  our  audience  the 
opportunity  to  hear  plays  of  con- 
siderable literary  merit  that  are 
relatively  unknown  and  rarely,  if 
ever,  produced  on  the  professional 
stage",  reports  the  AMT. 
Major  Productions 

In  addition  to  another  concert 
reading  later  in  the  year,  three 
major  productions  will  be  present- 
ed, two  of  which  are  already  se- 
lected. In  the  middle  of  December 
•The  Critic"  by  Rlcha.d  Brinslcy 
Sheridan  will  be  presented,  and 
then  in  March  "The  "Wild  Duck" 
by  Henrlk  Ibsen  will  be  done.  Nei- 
ther the  final  major  production 
for  May  nor  the  French  Language 
play  to  be  done  in  April  have  been 
selected   yet. 

Beginning  rehearsals  last  Mon- 
day for  "Yes  Is  for  a  Very  Yount: 
Man"  were  Mrs.  D.  D.  Taylor,  who 
starred  in  "Taming  of  the  Shrjvv" 
a  year  ago.  as  Constance  and  Bob 
Vail  '58,  another  AMT  veteran,  as 
Ferdinand.  Others  in  the  cast  in- 
clude Tony  Distler  '59.  Jeff  Swift

Colloquium  Gathering 
To  Discuss  Da  Vinci 


■Wednesday,  Oct.  10  -  The 
Drawings  of  Leonardo  Da  Vinci 
will  be  the  subject  of  a  Collo- 
quium tomorrow  evening  at  7:30 
in  the  Rathskellar  of  the  Stu- 
dent Union.  A  color  film  will  be 
shown,  which  will  be  introduced 
by  Professors  Falson  and 
Enggass  who  will  lead  a  dis- 
cussion afterward.  The  Collo- 
quium will  be  sponsored  by  the 
Student  Union  Committee. 


in  the  hundreds,  and  Chapln  Hall 
was  already  filled  to  seating  ca- 
pacity. Part  of  the  overflow  crowd 
was  accommodated  in  Baxter  Hall 
where  a  special  loudspeaker  had 
been  set  up  to  carry  the  proceed- 
ings. A  beautiful  autumn  day  com- 
plemented the  occasion. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Baxter  held  a  pri- 
vate luncheon  after  the  convoca- 
tion attended  by  100  persons  in 
their  home  on  Main  Street,  fol- 
lowing which  Mr.  Dulles  departed 
from  Harriman  Airport.  A  small 
crowd  was  on  hand  to  witness  his 
departure,  which  was  slightly  a- 
head  of  schedule.  A  number  of  per- 
sons planning  a  political  demon- 
stration arrived  too  late  to  see  the 
Secretary  of  State  oft.

In  the  course  of  the  Convoca-

The  Council  approved  a  sugges- 
tion by  Sandy  McOmber  '51,  to 
have  the  annual  career  weekend

Wednesday,  Oct.  10  -  Represen- 
tatives from  the  Office  of  Naval 
Procurement  in  Boston  arrived  on 
the  Williams  campus  yesterday  to 
spend  three  days  discussing  cur- 
rent Navy  programs  with  inter- 
ested students. 

The  group's  main  purpose  is  to 
discuss  the  Navy's  officer  training 
program  with  members  of  the  sen- 
ior class  who  have  not  fulfilled 
their  military  obligations  and  who 
are  not  committed  to  an  ROTC 
or  similar  program.  Repiesented 
will  be  the  two  principal  branches 
of  the  Navy  program,  the  deck  of- 
ficer or  Newport  Program  and  the 
flight  officer  or  NAVCAD  Pro- 
gram. Students  will  have  an  op- 
portunity to  get  detailed  informa- 
tion regarding  these  programs 
from  the  officers  who  will  be  out 
side  the  upperclass  lounge  of  the 
Student  Union  all  day  today  and 
tomorrow. 

Although  the  recruiting  officers 
are  here  for  the  primary  purpose  of 
speaking  to  seniors,  they  will  be 
happy  to  talk  to  any  student  about 
anything  in  regards  to  Navy  re- 
cruiting. This  was  pointed  oit  by 
Mr.  Henry  Flynt.  Jr.  of  the  Office 
of  Student  Aid.  who  has  handled 
the  arrangements  for  the  group^s 
visit.  Mr.  Flynt  was  quick  to  point 
out  that  the  officers  were  not  here 
"to  Shanghi  anyone^',  but  to  pro- 
vide information  about  the  Navy 
to  Williams  students.

Weekly    Duties 

The  chapel  performs  many  im- 
portant weekly  duties.  A  group  of 
the  members  are  connected  with 
the  Williamstown  Boys  Club.  A 
nightly  program  is  put  on  for  the 
benefit  of  any  Williamstown  youth 
Another  group  is  connected  wltli 
Deputations  or  Youth  Fellowship 
groups.  Many  of  the  local  churches 
need  student  leadership  in  both 
Sunday  school  classes  and  Sunday 
night  discussion  groups.  For  the 
more  literary  minded,  the  WCC 
plans  the  publication  of  a  news- 
paper, "The  Tower". 

Something  new  thus  year  will  be 
Thursday  night  discussion  groups 
to  be  held  at  the  Student  Union 
at  10  p.m.  for  the  Freshmen.  The

interesting  and  of  spiritual  bene- 
fit for  all  that  attend.

Pusey  Vetoes  Plans 

For  Harvard  Move 

Saturday,  Oct.  13  -  A  )iropo- 
.sal  suggesting  the  moving  of 
Harvard  University  to  the  Berk- 
.shire  Hills  within  the  next  100 
year.s  was  quickly  laid  to  rest, 
la.sl  week  by  veto  of  thi'  univer- 
■sity's  President,  Nallian  S.  Pu- 
.sey. 

Charles  R.  Cherington,  jiro- 
fe.ssor  of  government  at  Har- 
vard and  a  transportation  ex- 
pert, previously  explained  tii 
"The  Harvard  Crim.son",  uni- 
versity daily,  that  the  scliiml 
,should  move  because  "Irarfic 
problems  and  lack  of  desirable 
land"  would  constitute  an  acute 
situation  in  the  coining  .vears. 
According  to  the  initial  an- 
nouncement, Petersborough.  N. 
H..  was  offered  as  a  pus.sible 
site  becau.se  of  "a  lot  of  fine 
vacant  land".  An  in.surmounl- 
able  barrier  to  this  plan  was 
foreseen,  though,  since  the  uni- 
versity was  chartered  by  Mas- 
.sachu.setts  in  lli3G. 

In  that  ca.se.  Prof.  Chering- 
ton stated  "we  could  go  out  to 
the  Berkshires  west  of  the  Con- 
necticut River  where  there  is 
good  vacant  land".  Preci.sely 
what  location  was  intended  has 
not  been  disclosed. 

President  Pusey  in  liis  com- 
munique said,  "Harvard  moved 
once  to  Concord  during  th;'  Re- 
volution to  allow  Revolutlonaiy 
troops  to  be  housed  in  Harvard. 
It  was  the  only  lime  we  moved. 
We  are  not  moving  again. " 


the  Chest  Fund  this  year  will  be

the  Di'partmi'iit  of  Music's  1  ^lofi- 1 9,57  season.  The  si'lcc-tiiiiis  per- 
formed  included   works  by   Bach.O ^ 

Couperln,  Rameau,  and  Domenico 
Scarlatti.  They  constituted  a  sur- 
vey of  the  150  years  from  1600  to 
1750  known  as  "The  Golden  Age 
of  Harpsichord  Music". 


Mr.  Kirkpatrick  played  on  a 
double  manual  Challis  harpsichord 
recognized  for  Its  depth  and  ver-  I 
satility.  Tlie  breadth  of  his  reper- 
toire was  exhibited  by  the  hand-  . 
ling  of  22  pieces  by  nine  composers 
of  different  talents. 

Concert   Opened    with 
Byrd    Selections 

Tills  evening's  concert  was 
opened  with  three  selections  by  the 
English  composer,  William  Byrd. 
Following  individual  tonal  expres- 
sions by  Sweellnck,  Froberger,  and 
Pachelbel,  Mr.  Kirkpatrick  offered 
"Prelude  and  Fugue  In  A  Minor  " 
by  Johann  Sebastian  Bach.  His 
previous  experiences  with  the  Ger- 
man .school  Include  the  leadership 
of  the  summer  harpsichord  classes 
at  Salzburg  Mozarteum  and  a 
lifelong  study  of  Bach.  In  1938, 
a,  Schlrmer  publl.slied  Mr.  Klrk- 
patrlck's  edition  of  Bach's  Gold- 
berg Variations,  hailed  as  a  model 
of  Its  kind. 

Before  intermission,  Mr.  Kirk- 
patrick probed  the  French  sphere 
of  classical  harpsichord  music.  Re- 
presentative pieces  from  the  two 
leading  Gallic  exponents,  Francois 
Couperln  and  Jean  Philippe  Ra- 
meau included  "Le  Dodo,  ou  1'- 
Amour  au  Berceau"  from  Couperln 


Ralph  Kirkpatrick,  noted  harp- 
sichordist. 

and  "Les  Cyclops"  by  Rameau. 

Ralph  Kirkpatrick  is  generally 
known  as  the  world's  leading  au- 
thority on  the  Italian  master,  Do- 
menico Scarlatti.  His  knowledge 
of  the  subject  was  first  demon- 
strated by  the  publication  several 
years  ago  of  a  biography  of  the 
same  title.  This  is  a  comprehen- 
sive study  of  that  most  original  of 
18th  century  keyboard  composers, 
and  the  historical  and  cultural 
background  Involved.

PRICE  10  CENTS 


Saturday,  Oct.  13  -  Under  the 
sponsorship  of  the  Adelphic  Un- 
ion, the  mter-fraternity  debating 
lirograni  will  lie  launched  on  Oc- 
tobei-  24  with  a  preliminary  foren- 
sic battle  in  Baxter  Hall.  Now  or- 
ganized on  an  all-college  tjasis  tor 
the  first  time,  these  debates  are 
intended  to  build  enthusiasm  for 
the  sport  through  keen  competi- 
tion among  all  the  ,social  units  on 
camprs. 

In  connection  with  this  aim,  a 
large  silver  trophy  will  be  awarded 
annually  to  the  group  that  survives 
the  tournament  with  the  best  re- 
cord. This  trophy,  which  was  do- 
nated by  an  Interested  alumnus, 
is  now  on  display  in  the  House  of 
Walsh  front  window,  and  any 
team  which  should  win  it  for  three 
years  in  succession  will  gain  per- 
manent pos.se.ssion. 

Cross-examination 

According  to  Dave  Phillips  '58. 
President  of  the  Union,  debates 
will  depart  slightly  from  the  tra- 
ditional Oxford  style,  allowing 
cross-examination  during  con- 
structive speeches.  However,  they 
are  still  debates,  rather  than  pan- 
els, and  decisions  will  be  rendered 
by  judges  selected  from  the  Wil- 
liams faculty. 

Topics  for  this  competition  will 
vary  throughout  the  cour.se  of  the 
school  year,  but  the  first  few  will 
definitely  be  of  a  political  nature, 
in  keeping  with  the  1956  election 
year  intcvests.  Tom  Syiiott  '58, 
and  Dave  Moore  '59,  are  directing 
this  pi'ogiam,  and  they  plan  lo 
have  the  year's  schedule  outlined 
and  the  first  action  accomplished 
by  the  end  of  this  month.

department  in  the  lower  lounge  of 
Baxter  Hall.  Professor  Pai.son  in- 
ti-oduced  the  subject,  Leonardo  da 
Vinci,  as  a  brief  look  at  "perhaps 
the  most  complex  mind  in  all  hu- 
man history". 

He  went  on  to  say  that  this 
mind  was  best  revealed  in  da  Vin- 
ci's notebooks,  which  were  the  sub- 
ject of  the  movie  shown.  This  ex- 
cellent film  made  in  England  term- 
ed da  Vinci  "the  man  who  compar- 
ed all  things  in  .search  of  one". 

Engass   Lectures 

Following  the  film  Professor  En- 
gass  of  the  art  department  gave 
a  short  talk  in  which  he  empha- 
sized the  amazing  creativity  of 
this  man  who  drew  accurate  plans 
for  numerous  inventions  left  un- 
develored  until  recent  times.  En- 
gass  said  that  da  Vinci  was  .so  far 
ahead  of  his  age  that  he  presented 
a  "mysterious,  even  frightening 
intellect"  to  his  contemporaries. 

An  interesting  point  was  made 
in  connection  with  da  Vinci's  fa- 
mous "Mona  Lisa".  It  is  known 
that  for  at  least  ten  years  prior  to 
encountering  someone  of  this  des- 
cription he  had  made  numerous 
sketches  of  an  identical  nature. 
Professor  Faison  calls  this  "a 
marvelous  coincidence  between  an 
idea  and  a  reality  of  beauty", 
which  has  occurred  in  art  history 
at  only  Infrequent  intervals.  Fol- 
lowing the  lecture  a  question  peri- 
od was  conducted  by  Piof .  Engass.

Over   Eph   Houseparty  Weekends 


Varnum  Discloses 
Houseparty  Plans 

Dance  Features  Music 

By  Lanin,  Cozy  Cole 


Saturday.  Oct.  13  -  With  less 
than  two  weeks  remaining  before 
the  first  Houseparty  of  the  yeai. 
the  Class  of  '59  is  already  map- 
ping out  the  plans  of  what  ought 
to  be  the  best  Fall  Houseparty  this 
campus  has  seen.  Veteran  Ephmen, 
having  learned  by  experience  that 
this  is  ti-uly  one  of  the  best  week- 
ends of  the  year,  have  already  ob- 
tained dates.  And  from  all  indi- 
cations, the  Cla.ss  of  '60  is  expected 
to  have  a  record  number  of  dates, 
.surpassing  any  previous  Freshman

group  which  is  making  a  return 
engagement  after  last  year's  suc- 
cessful appearance. 

Free  Perfume 

An  innovation  has  been  added 
to  this  year's  dance.  The  first 
150  females  to  arrive  at  the  dance 
will  receive  free  samples  of  Prince 
Machiavelli  perfume.  Lester  Lan- 
in's Travelers  will  play  in  the 
Freshman  Dining  Room  and  Cozy 
Cole  will  improvize  in  the  Fresh- 
man Lounge.  The  "Travelers"  arc 
well-known  in  the  East,  for  they 
have  appeared  at  most  colleges  on 
the  Eastern  Seaboard.  Tliey  have 
played  at  numerous  coming-out 
parties,  cotillons,  charity  balls  and 
as,semblies.  Tlie  group  consists  of 
eleven  pieces  plus  a  vocalist.  Cozy

Editors  Anticipate  New 
Cosmopolitan  Outlook 


Saturday.  Oct.  13  -  October  26 
denotes  Houseparty  Weekend, 
football,  and  the  date  that  the 
Purple  Cow,  Williams'  humor  ma- 
gazine, comes  out  for  public  sale. 
It  will  be  sold  at  the  game  and 
the  dance. 

This  year  the  staff,  headed  by 
Tony  Distler  and  Ed  Reifenstein, 
is  trying  to  develop  a  characteris- 
tic Cow  style  and  to  have  a 
broader,  more  casmopolitan  out- 
look. Thus  Houseparty  will  not  be 
stressed  in  the  first  issue.  The 
theme  is  divided  between  the  po- 
litical and  the  non-political.

Deadlines  Near  On  Seniors'  Applications 
For  Rhodes,  Marshall,  Fulhright  Grants; 
Flynt  Points  to  Other  Grad  Scholarships 


With  deadlines  less  than  three  weeks  away, 
are  lillinn  out  aiiplications  for  one  of  tlie 


the  Fulbriijht,  Rhodes  and 


Brooks'  sentiment  is  reported  to 
concur  with  a  movement  already 
afoot  in  Gargoyle  and  College 
Council.  A  CC  committee,  headed 
by  Whitey  Kaufmann  '58.  had  been 
formed  to  discuss  the  improve- 
ment of  winter  houseparties,  but 
nothing  will  be  done  to  interfere 
with  fall  houseparty  plans.  An- 
other committee,  composed  of  each 
fraternity's  social  chairman,  may 
also  be  formed. 

No  Remorse 

Dean  Brooks  inferred  that  there 
is  no  longer  any  social  stigma  on 
a  house  when  one  member  can- 
not "hold  his  liquor".  Attacking 
this  lack  of  social  pressure.  Dean 
Brooks  .said,  "I  can  remember  as 
the  head  of  a  house  some  30  years 
ago,  laying  drunks  out  in  the  cel- 
lar and  putting  lillies  in  their 
hands"  to  cause  a  little  remorse 
when  the  victim  awakened. 

"There  was  somewhat  more  re- 
sponsibility for  dates  ithen)".  he 
said.  If  one  realized  he  wasn't  go- 
ing to  stay  on  his  feet  long  he 
would  make  preparation  for  some- 
one else  to  take  care  of  the  date. 
This  is  a  good  idea,  he  explained, 
"so  the  girls  won't  go  away  as 
walking  advertisements  against 
our  lack  of  hospitality". 

Guest  Cards 

Among  the  proposals  to  solve 
this  problem  mentioned  at  Tues- 
day's meeting  were  stiffening  of 
the  guest  card  regulations,  as  em- 
ployed at  Dartmouth,  and  provid- 
ing other  forms  of  entertainment 
on  the  weekend  besides  drinking. 

Other  business  before  the  Social 
Council  Tuesday  included  a  reso- 
lution to  make  signs  at  football 
rallies  less  "gross";  an  initial  in- 
quiry into  the  problem  of  frater- 
nity hazing:  and  a  report  that  no 
further  progress  has  been  made 
toward  total  opportunity,  with 
three  sophs  still  unbid. 

SC  President  John  Winnacker 
asked  house  presidents  to  have 
their  members  decide  whether  It

TO  THE  FRESHMEN 


'1'lioiifs.lit  inakca  the  whole  iitciii;  therefore  eiuU'iivor 

to  think  uelL  that  is  Ike  onltj  iiioriihti/. 

Vimeiil 
It  i,s  the  piirpo.sr'  ol  tlii.s  I'liitoiiiil  not  to  dirt't't  tii'sliiiieii  hut 
to  as.si.st  tliciii  ill  dirt'ctiiii;  thcin.si'ho.s.  It  lia.s  olti'ii  liccii  poiiiti'd 
out,  but  iR'Nor  too  ottt'ii,  that  tlu'  tnif  purpose  ol  cducatioii 
should  not  1)0  uicicly  to  teach  men  tt'chni(|iies  but  to  enable  them 
to  li\e  thoimhtlul  li\es.  Tlu'  pieie(|iiisite  lor  attaining  a  thonu;htbil 
mind  is  the  a\oidaiiei'  ol  a  prematiiie  seaieli  lof  all  the  answers. 
The  Williams  HEtX)HD  leels  that  the  most  important  ad\  iee  it 
can  !j;i\e  to  the  fieshmen  is  to  enlti\ate  as  open  and  as  toleiant 
a  mind  as  is  possible.  .\  tolerant  mind  will  e.\|iose  itsell  to  as  inanv 
ideas  and  e.\|ieiienees  as  is  necessai\'  to  <j;ain  a  true  understandini.; 
and  appreciation  ol  the  world  in  which  we  li\e.  One  ol  the  nioic 
difficult  but  most  neeessai\'  tasks  for  a  Iri'slnnaii  is  to  avoid  the 
dogmatism  of  those  who  are  ONcrwhelined  bv  little  learniiiu;.  To 
fail  here  is  indeed  to  depart  Irom  intellectual  honestv  to  an  ex- 
tent that  minht  in  time  he  IVij^htfiillv  dan;4i'rons.  In  the  modern 
world  it  is  hard  to  avoid  seein<j  the  half  truths  of  caieless  nn'uds 
that  can  be  nionstrouslv  tyrannical. 

I'linelion  of  a  CoUe'^c 
The  small  liberal  arts  collei;e,  and  Williams  in  particular,  is 
a  iniic|ne  experiment  In  this  kind  of  education.  Both  a  small  li- 
beral arts  eolle;j;e  and  a  lari^e  imi\ crsitx'  are  schools  ol  education 
but  the  primary  reason  for  the  existence  ol  the  former  is  not  to  be 
fonntl  niereh'  in  the  laet  that  the\'  conxev  knowledge  to  tin'  stu- 
dents or  in  the  opportinutic^  ;i!forded  to  the  faculty  for  research. 
Williams  fulfills  particularly  well  the  pinpose  of  a  collefje  as  de- 
fined by  Alfred  Whitehead,  author  of  the  book  "The  .\inis  of  Edu- 
cation", in  that  it  "preserxes  the  connection  bi'twt'cn  kiu)\yledire 
and  the  zest  of  life,  bv  iniitini^  the  x'oumr  and  the  old  in  tin'  im- 
aginative cousideraton  of  learninir".  In  other  words  Williams  not 
only  imparts  knowledge,  but  also  does  it  iinai^inativelv.  The  most 
important  part  of  this  imaninatixc  a|")proach  to  Icarninn  is  our 
facnltv-student  relations.  I'^ortimatelv  there  are  no  barriers  to 
discnssini^  academic  and  other  subjects  widi  a  |)roh'ssor  alter 
classes  or  at  jruest  meals. 

In  addition  Williams  is  blessed  with  small  cla.sses,  inuncrons 
.seminar  courses  and  maiix'  opportunities  for  independent  study. 
The  depth  and  penetration  ol  the  faenltv  is  matched  b\-  their 
patience  with  the  most  tri\  ial  and  elementarv  (|uestions. 

Honors  Profirani 
The  most  outstandiiii;  example  of  stndent-lacnltv  relations 
is  found  in  the  newly  formed  honors  ])ronram.  It  perforins  the 
dual  Innetion  of  actiui^  as  an  induceinent  to  the  students  duriim 
their  lirst  two  years  to  attain  hit^b  academic  stamlards.  and  pro- 
yidinj;  an  opportunity  for  a  course  of  study  of  iiunsnal  flexibility 
and  worth  durinji;  one's  latter  two  years. 

There  are  more  asjiects  to  college  life  than  classes.  These 
other  aspects  ha\e  lasting  importance  and  value  only  to  the  ex- 
tent that  thex'  make  significant  contributions  to  one's  experience. 
Williams  oilers  a  \aried  and  functional  number  ol  extra-cur- 
ricular activities.  Unfortunately  many  of  the  most  \alual)le  of 
these  is  often  neglected  by  freshmen.  The  Williams  HE(X)H]) 
would  advise  freshmen  that  extra-enrricnlar  activities  are  first 
of  all  subordinate  to  academics  and  si'condly  would  ad\  isc  the 
frcslnnen  to  sample  a  few  activities  before  speciali/.ing  on  one.  .Ml 
too  fre(|uently  a  freshman  has  a  teiidenev  to  continne  with  the 
same  activities  he  had  in  high  school  forgetting  that  his  interests 
and  tastes  iiiigiit  changi'. 

One  of  the  most  unfortunate  dexclopments  at  Williams  is  the 
apathy  toward  events  sponsored  l)\  the  ,\MT.  the  Williams  Lec- 
ture Committee,  the  Thonip.son  Conci'rt  Coiinnlttee  and  similar 
organizations.  Tliese  programs  enable  the  student  to  broaden  his 
education  in  many  directions. 

Social  Attifiiclcs 
\  final  jiart  of  one's  life  at  Williams  is  .social.  On  the  one 
hand  this  can  be  a  \alued  experience  and  dixcrsion  and  on  the 
other  hand  it  can  both  assume  too  much  im])ortaiice  and  express 
itself  indiscreetly.  Moderation  and  maturity  arc  no  more  misplaced 
here  than  in  otlier  aspect.s  of  one's  college  life. 

One  of  the  more  delicate  topics  that  can  come  under  coii- 
.sideratirai  concerns  deferred  rushing  and  the  full  implications  of 
it.  This  is  always  delicate  since  the  freshmen  have  a  tendency  to 
hold  fraternities  in  awe.  However,  the  ])rincipal  purpose  of  de- 
ferred rushing  is  to  unite  the  freshman  class  and  to  develop  a 
college  orientated  attitude. 

This  one  year  also  permits  the  individual  to  appreciate  jieo- 
ple  of  different  habits,  ideas  and  attitudes.  Tlie  only  unfortunate 
aspect  of  this  program  is  that  it  tends  to  strain  freshnien-ujiper- 
class  relations.  The  only  way  this  strain  can  be  alleviated  is  for 
the  freshmen  to  forget  fraternities  tor  one  ye.ir  and  act  natural. 

The  Williams  HECOHI)  feels  that  the  Class  of  hM)  has  mag- 
nificent opportunities  and  is  hopefully  confident  that  the  class 
will  make  good  use  of  them.

Freshman  Eleven 
Begins  Campaign 

Purple  Faces  UVM 
In  Burlington  Test 

By    Chet    Lasell 

Saturday,  Oct.  13  -  The  1956 
Williams  freshman  football  team 
opens  its  season  this  afternoon 
against  the  University  of  Vermont 
yearlings  at  Burlington.  Coached 
by  Prank  Navarro,  the  Purple 
squad  carries  a  win  streak  of  sev- 
en straight  games  into  today's 
contest.  This  victory  skein  includes 
the  'Wesleyan  and  Amherst  games 
of  1954  and  all  of  last  season  when 
Jim  Ostendarp  coached  the  Ephs 
through  a  five  game  .schedule 
without  a  lo.ss. 

Last  year.  Williams  edged  the 
UVM  gridders  by  only  an  8-0  score 
in  a  hard-fought  game.  From  all 
scouting  reports.  Vermont  appears 
to  have  a  big,  fast  team  again  this 
season.  The  squad  made  an  Im- 
pressive debut  last  week  with  a 
convincing  win  over  Norwich. 
Coach  Navarro  stresses  the  fact 
that  today's  game  should  find  two 
evenly-matched  elevens  squaring 
off  with  breaks  alone  being 
enough  to  decide  the  outcome. 
However,  his  squad  is  ready  for 
this  important  opener  and  he  ex- 
pects the  Purple  to  m.ake  a  credi- 
table showing. 

Starting    Team 

The  Williams  starting  line-up 
will  include  Sindy  Smith  at  right 
end,  Pay  Vincent  at  right  tackle.

Jazz  Concert  in  Chapin  Hall  will 
be  held,  featuring  Phinney's  Fav-

time  that  this  group  has  appeared 
on  Houseparty  weekend  as  the  fea-

Spring  Concert,  the  group's  per-

qualified  for  this  distinction.  Also 
appearing  at  Chapin  will  be  the 
St,  Lawrence  "Sinners",  a  female

concert,  the  "Capital  District  All-

which  also  appeared  here  last

would  be  possible  to  limit  hazing 
to  WlUiamstown  and  to  certain 
hours  of  the  day.  The  decisions  of 
the  houses  will  be  reported  in  two 
weeks. 


The  perennial  question  of  total 
opportunity,  and  the  problems  It 
has  created  at  one  Ivy  League 
School,  form  the  subject  matter 
of  an  article  in  the  current  issue 
of  "Time"  magazine.  It  seems  that 
for  many  years  Princeton  had  re- 
■isted  all  attempts  at  liberalizing 
ii.s  highly  selective  private  eating- 
;'.ub  system.  The  seventeen  clubs 
m  campus  simply  accepted  only 
:h?  most  desirable  sophomores  and 
'eft  a  small,  unwanted  minority 
out  in  the  cold. 

In  1949.  however,  democracy  fi- 
nally prevailed.  605  Princeton 
sophomores  accepted  a  proposal 
which  provided  for  a  boycott  of  all 
the  clubs  unless  every  single  man 
got  at  least  one  invitation  during 
the  aiuiual  bicker  (bidding). 

Somehow  this  system  failed  to 
work.  At  the  end  of  each  bicker 
there  were  always  about  fifteen 
men  who  had  not  been  bid  by  any 
club.  Eventually,  these  outcasts 
were  admitted  to  clubs,  but  not  be- 
fore secret  sessions  of  the  club 
presidents,  which  left  the  unwant- 
ed minority  (now  known  as  "100 
Percenters")  as  clearly  marked 
and  stigmatized  as  ever. 

Last  week  the  university  an- 
nounced that  it  would  establish  a 
separate  facility  to  accommodate 
these  100  Percenters,  Upon  the 
heels  of  this  announcement  came  a 
declaration  from  the  sophomore 
class  president  that  he  would  join 
the  facility  and  take  sixty  or  sev- 
enty good  men  with  him  in  order 
to  destroy  the  stigma  that  would

Extensive  Changes  Help 
Average  Ski  Racers 


Under  the  leadership  of  Rich 
Wagner,  the  Williams  Outing  Club 
is  presently  improving  the  Thun- 
derbolt Ski  Ti-ail  which  is  located 
on  the  slopes  of  Mt,  Greylock.  The 
bridge  at  the  bottom  of  the  Big 
Schuse  and  the  Needle's  Eye  are 
the  centers  of  operation. 

These  improvements  are  design- 
ed to  make  the  trail  easier  for  the 
average  racer;  however,  the  ex- 
pert will  not  be  effected  by  the 
changes.  The  average  racer  i-efers

The  outer  turn  of  the  Needle's

of  the  Big  Schuse  are  both  being 
widened.  Members  of  the  WOC

The  bridge  at  the  bottom  of  the

make  the  trail  safer  and  thus  to 
remove  the  necessity  for  unsightly

Multi-College  Circulation 

With  a  broader  outlook  the  staff 
hopes  that  not  only  Williams  (stu-

The  Cow  will  be  sold  at  Smitli, 
Amherst,  Holyoke  and  any  olhii

There  once  lived  a  crazy, 
mixed-up  old  giant.  He  lived  at 
the  top  of  a  beanstalk  and  he  got 
his  kicks  out  of  a  little  red  hen. 
Of  course,  that  wasn't  bad,  because 
that  chicken  laid  golden  eggs. 

Now  down  at  the  bottom  of 
the  stalk  Uved  our  boy,  Jackson. 
Our  boy  was  low  on  loot  and  his 
mother  , . .  man,  she  wasn't  making 
it  at  all.  The  feedbag  was  M.  T. 
So  Jackson  started  thinking  of  a 
way  to  get  loot  fast:  "How," 
said  he  to  himself,  "could  I  get 
that  frantic  chicken  away  from  that 
character  upstairs?"  He  looked 
around  the  hut  for  something  to 
trade — How  about  an  old  piano 
roll?  Mom's  bifocals? 


Uncle  Looey's  plectrum  banjo?  Wait  a 

minute!!!  In  the  cistern  was  a  six-can 

carton  of  Budweiser!  So  he  gets  the 

Bud  and  sashays  up  the  stalk.  Well, 

citizens,  there's  no  use  dragging  this 

Budweiser  bit  out:  llio  giant  buys  the 

Bud,  gives  Jackson  the  hen,  mom's 

doing  great  and  so  will  you  if  you're 

up  to  date.  Get  Budweiser,  man . . . 

it's  the  world's  favorite  beerl 

All  cisterns  . . .  and  brothems,  too, 
for  that  matter . .  .  should  discover 
that  there  h  a  difference  in  beers. 
This  Budweiser . . .  it  is  the  most.

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  "Direct 
Economic  Aid— Its  American  and 
World  importance",  will  be  tlie 
subject  of  the  first  Adelphic  Un- 
ion program  of  the  year,  at  which 
lime  a  debate  between  Williams 
ind  Smith  will  be  featured. 

The  topic  for  this  evening's  dis- 
cussion is  closely  related  to  the  na- 
tional debating  topic  for  this  year. 
Professors  William  Gates.  'Vincent 
Barnett,  and  John  Power  will  par- 
ticipate in  the  forum.  All  three 
professors  have  been  personally 
associated  with  our  foreign  aid 
program  and  are.  therefore,  par- 
ticularly well  qualified  to  speak 
on  the  subject. 

The  freshman  smoker,  to  which 
i>ll  freshmen  who  are  interested 
in  joining  the  Union  are  invited, 
will  take  place  at  7:30  in  the  Rath-

Deplores  Richard  M.  Nixon."  tional  Committee. 


Wednesday.  Oct.  17  -  This  past 
summer  was  the  best  in  history 
for  Williams  .students  where  it 
counts  most — in  the  pocket  book. 

According  to  ficures  released  by 
Student  Aid  Director  Henry  Flynl. 
Williams  students  earned  more 
than  $400,000.  an  average  of  $513 
per  worker,  through  summer  em- 
ployment this  yea:-.  Both  figures 
are  all  time  highs  and  mark  con- 
siderable increases  over  last  year. 

In  addition.  44  men  earned 
$1,000  or  more.  The  highest  indi- 
vidual earnings  in  the  school  were 
reported  by  Sandy  Murray  '59. 
who  made  $2090  loading  airplanes 
in  Alaska. 

76'*  Work 
From  summer  job  questionnaires 
filled  out  by  the  students.  Flynt 
pointed  out  that  76  per  cent  of 
the  student  body  was  employed, 
the  second  highest  figure  on  re- 
cord. Tlie  130  students  who  failed 
to  return  the  blanks  conceivably 
increase  these  totals. 

Flynt  pointed  out  that  the  ag- 
gregate earnings  for  the  college 
have  risen  every  year  but  one  since 
1949.  Among  Individuals,  the 
highest-paid  senior  worked  con- 
struction, the  best-heeled  junior 
was  a  sheet-metal  worker  while, 
among  the  frrv  .-imen,  a  bell-hop 
fattened  his  UMnk  account  the 
most,  although  his  straight  salary 
for  the  summer  was  a  mere  $120. 

Odd  Jobs 

The  most  popular  Job  classifica- 
tions turned  out  to  be  construction, 
camp,  office  and  factory.  And 
when  it  came  to  unusual  occupa- 
tions, the  Eplis  outdid  themselves 
this  year. 

There  were  two  grave  diggers. 
an  elevator  installer,  a  Maine  mail 
boat  captain,  a  gandy  dancer 
I  railroad  section  liand),  a  profes- 
sional singer  and  a  professional 
magician. 

One  student  advised  Lowell 
Thomas  on  a  new  Cinerama  pro- 
duction eight  were  seamen,  one 
did  TV  commercials  while  one  man 
worked  in  an  underwater  .sound 
lab  for  the  Navy.  In  the  political 
picture,  two  worked  for  Republi- 
can congressmen  and  two  served  as 
assistant  Sergeants-At-Ai-ms  at 
the  OOP  convention  while  only 
one  student  was  employed  by  a 
Democratic  congressman  and  one

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  Upon  the 
decision  of  the  President  and 
Board  of  Trustees  of  Williams  Col- 
lege the  Sopliomore  Class  will  be 
peri.iitted  to  drive  cars  during  ti.t 
three  houseparty  holiday."  occur- 
ring this  year  on  the  weekends  of 
October  27,  February  23,  and  May 
4.  Dean  Robert  R.  R.  Brook.-;  an 
nounced  the  revision  of  transpor 
tation  policy  at  an  October  8 
meeting  of  the  class  of  1959  and 
in  a  memorandum  sent  to  parents 
of  sophomores. 

Fundamental  Cause 

Cited  as  the  underlying  reason 
for  the  ruling  handed  down  fol- 
lowing faculty  recommendation 
was  the  particularly  demanding 
atmosphere  of  houseparties  as  to 
transportation  needs.  Dean  Brooks 
added  that  "the  .sitiatlon  has  been 
aggravated  in  recent  years  by  the 
loss  of  public  means  resulting 
from  the  removal  of  trains  and 
b'jses".  He  did  not  indicate  that 
this  constituted  a  trend  of  any 
kind. 

General  Policy   Reviewed 

A  reaffirmation  of  the  general 
college  policy  in  regard  to  allow- 
ing only  seniors  and  juniors  tc 
drive  was  stated  at  the  October  f. 
meeting  of  the  Board.  The  reason.', 
given  were:  li  "To  avoid  the  add- 
ed expense  to  parents  of  nuin-

Lawrence  Art  Museum  Undergoes  Refurbishing; 
Art  Department  Facilities  Occupy  Entire  Building 


Williamstown.  Mass.  -  The  Law- 
rence Art  Museum  of  Williams  Col- 
lege is  undergoing  a  nearly-com- 
pleted refurbishing  job,  which  al- 
ready has  cost  $30,000,  to  better 
show  the  half-a-million  dollars 
worth  of  art  objects  that  have 
been  accumulated  in  the  29-year- 
old  institution. 

All  that  remains  to  be  done  in 
the  museum  is  revamping  of  the 
lighting  system  and  painting  of 
the  Octagon  and  the  east  and 
west  wings.  This  phase  (the  cost 
is  not  included  in  the  figure  men- 
tioned above)  will  be  completed 
during  the  academic  year  by  the 
Building  and  Grounds  Department. 
which  has  done  the  remodeling  Job. 
For  the  first  time  the  Art  De- 
partment has  the  entire  building. 
The  Department  of  Classics, 
which  formerly  liad  space  in  Law- 
rence Hall,  has  been  given  newly- 
furnished  quarters  in  Hopkins 
Hall. 

Remodel  Basement 
The  entire  basement  has  been 
remodeled  into  three  studios:  one 
for  seniors,  another  for  juniors 
and  the  third  for  architectural  de- 
sign. Before  the  remodeling  the 
basement  included  one  studio, 
some  tables  in  a  storeroom  and 
a  large  collection  of  items  not  on 
display. 

On  the  ground  floor,  the  front 
part  has  been  made  over  into  two 
offices,  and  a  section  to  house 
and  maintain  the  college  slides 
and  a  reference  library.  The 
northeastei-n  corner  has  a  shop 
for  Stephen  McNlcol.  assistant  to 
the  director  of  the  museum,  where 
exhibitions  may  be  crated  and  un- 
crated.  The  rear  part  of  the 
gi'ound  floor,  formeily  composed 
of  three  classrooms,  now  has  a  re- 
modeled classroom,  two  offices,  a 


over  twice  on  touchdown  marches. 

After  the  opening  kickoff  to  the 
Panthers,  the  visitors  were  forced 
to  kick  on  fourth  down  in  their 
own  territory.  Williams  look  the 
punt  but  was  also  unable  to  move 
tlie  ball  in  three  downs,  and  Matty 
Donner  punted  the  ball  out  of 
danger.  After  that  the  game  was 
all  Williams  until  late  in  the  game 
when  Middlebury  scored  its  lone 
touchdown.  Never  again  were  the 
Ephmen  forced  to  kick,  and  only 
costly  penalties  in  the  second  half 
prevented  the  game  from  being  an 
absolute  rout. 

Fearon    Scores 

Dick  Fearon  opened  the  scoring 
for  Williams  in  the  first  period  by 
climaxing  an  eighty  yard  drive 
with  an  end  sweep  good  for  sixteen 
yards  and  six  points.  Joel  Potter's 
try  for  the  extra  point  was  blocked 
by  a  Middlebury  team  that  was  not 
yet  convinced  that  it  was  out  of 
its  class.  Shirtly  after,  Fearon 
again  led  a  drive  with  a  twenty 
eight  yard  run  to  the  visitors' 
twenty  six  yard  line  but  was  hurt 
on  the  play.  Fearon's  loss  to  the 
team  is  for  an  unknown  period  of 
time  and  is  a  blow  to  Coach  Wat- 
•Ters''ht)pesTTTrBirtm* 

Gary  Shortlidge  and  Potter  took 
over  where  Fearon  had  left  off 
and  carried  the  ball  to  the  one 
yard  line  where  quarterback  Bob 
Appleford  took  it  over  on  a  sneak 
over  Center.  Norm  Cram  kicked  the 
point.  The  Ephs  scored  once  more 
in  the  second  period  with  but 
twenty  seconds  left  to  go  in  the 
half,  when  Ted  Sage  bucked  across 
from  the  one  foot  line.  Both  Sage 
and  Cliipe  Ide.  who  carried  tire 
ball  on  this  drive,  consistently  car- 
ried the  ball  out  of  bounds  stop- 
ping the  clock  and  setting  up  the 
score. 

Two    Platoons 

Coach  Len  Watters  used  his  two 
squad  team  liberally  during  tlie 
whole  afternoon  and  both  teams 
saw  considerable  action.  In  the 
second  half,  the  white  team  led 
the  scoring  thrusts  as  Chip  Ide 
concluded  a  march  with  an  eight-

photographic  dark  room  and  a 
study  area  for  those  in  the  art 
courses.  Art  books  formerly  re- 
served for  use  in  the  library  now 
will  be  available  in  this  .section. 
There  is  also  wall  space  for  repro- 
ductions. 

Cluett  Room 

To  set  off  the  Cluett  Room, 
which  occupies  the  central  part  of 
the  ground  floor,  a  storage  room 
has  been  remodeled  into  an  ante- 
room where  prints  and  drawings 
have  been  hung. 

New  lighting,  projectors  and  a 
9-by-20-foot  silver  screen  have 
been  included  in  the  upstairs  lec- 
ture room.  The  screen  is  the  gift 
of  Lawrence  H.  Bloedel  of  Sloan 
Road.  The  exhibition  room,  where 
temporary  shows  have  been  dis- 
played, has  been  made  one-third 
larger  by  the  removal  of  a  parti- 
tion. 


Fifth  Oldest 

A  new  thermostatically-con- 
trolled heating  system  has  been 
installed  and  the  lighting  arrange- 
ment has  been  revamped  through- 
out the  building.  Gray  asphalt  tile 
has  been  laid  in  the  hallways  and 
basement  and  the  interior  has 
ben  painted  in  pale  grey  and  dark 
coffee  brown  colors. 

The  fifth  oldest  building  on  the 
campus.  Lawrence  Hall  was  con- 
structed in  1846  for  use  as  a  li- 
brary and  named  after  Amos  Law- 
rence, whose  interest  in  Williams 
stemmed  from  his  friendship  with 
President  Mark  Hopkins  of  Wil- 
liams. Thomas  Tefft  of  Providence. 
B.I..  designed  the  octflgonal 
building  with  a  saucer  dome  in 
neo-classical  style.  In  1890.  east 
and  west  wings  were  added.

Frosh,    Dates    Enjoy 
Student  Union  Mixer 


Dinner,  Dance,  Singers 
Highlight  Gay  Evening 


Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  Tliree  bus- 
loads of  femininity  from  Saratoga 
Springs.  Pouglikeepsie  and  Nortli- 
ampton  and  a  few  carloads  from 
Bennington  descended  on  Wil- 
liamstown Saturday  for  the  only 
"home"  freshman  mixer  of  the 
year. 

Ti'aditionally.  the  only  complaint 
was  the  early  deadline — the  Smith 
cinderellas  were  trundled  back  in- 
to their  bus  at  11:00,  followed  at 
fifteen  minute  intervals  by  their 
rivals  fiom  'Vassar  and  Skidmore. 
No  hitches  in  the  departure  oc- 
curred this  year,  but  Sophs  will 
remember  that  last  year.  40  Vas- 
sarites  were  marooned  here  by 
rainstorms  and  forced  to  sleep  in 
the  gym. 

According  to  Student  Union 
Committee  president  Jim  Mabie 
'57.  organizer  of  the  mixer,  about 
200  frosh  turned  out  for  the  af- 
fair. Dinner  was  served  in  the  Stu- 
dent Union,  followed  by  a  dance  in 
the  Freshman  Lounge.  Dance  mu- 
sic was  provided  by  Ned  Reeves, 
while  the  Deep  Purples  and  Eph- 
lats.  two  sophomore  octets,  and  the 
Rockmops,  a  student  rock-and-roll 
band,  entertained  at  intermission.

Phinney's  Favorite  Five  Gaining  Ground 
In  Eastern  Collegiate  Jazz  Circles  As 
Popular  Two  -  Beat  Style  Earns  Renown 

Wediie.sclay,  Oct.  17  -  The  driving  two-beat  dixieland  rock- 
ing the  walls  of  Jesiip  Hall  this  year  isn't  the  ghost  of  the  Spring 
Street  Stompers  echoing  the  sounds  of  the  not-too-distant  past. 
Educated  ears  will  recognize  this  lisely  two-beat  di.xieland  as  not 
(juite  the  four-beat  style  which  won  tame  for  the  Stompers,  but 
is  the  sound  that  is  carrying  Williams'  Phiimey's  Favorite  Five 
into  the  spotlight  of  eastern  collegiate  jazz  circles. 

For  the  past  two  years  Phinney's  has  been  forced  to  yield  the 
limelight  to  Williams'  senior  dixieland  outfit.  With  the  passing  of 
the  Stompers,  this  talented  outfit  is  ready  to  maintain  the  fine 
reputation  earned  for  Williams'  dixieland  by  the  Stompers. 

A  Few  Echoes  Remain 
Although  Phinney's  Favorite  Five  differs  in  its  dixieland 
style  from  the  Stompers,  a  few  things  about  the  organizations  are 
similar.  The  names  Hayne  and  Ritter  so  closely  associated  with 
the  past  group  appear,  on  Phinney's  roster.  Bob  Ritter  '57,  former 
Stomper  cornet  player,  is  now  filling  that  capacity  in  Phinney's 
aggregation  wEile  Tom  Hayne  'oQ,"  tlie  Five  s  drummer,  is  the 
brother  of  Jim  Hayne  '56,  ex-trombone  player  of  the  Spring 
Street  Stompers.  Tliese  two  names  join  Fred  Clifford  '58,  Phin- 
ney's leader  and  Uiba  player:  John  Halsey  '59,  jiiano;  Spence 
Jones  '58,  trombone;  Bob  Kingsljury  '58,  clarinet  and  Dave  Hil- 
dreth  '59,  banjo,  to  produce  the  "Phinney  sound". 

This  "swinging"  contingent  is  inlaying  for  most  of  the  same 
clients  that  their  predecessors  did  and  "expanding  every  day"  as 
Fred  Clifford  noted.  He  pointed  out  the  increasing  ))0])ularity  of 
the  band  by  citing  the  present  bookings  and  offers  received!  At 
the  moment  Phinney's  Favorite  Five  is  booked  solid  for  the  fall 
and  has  several  engagements  already  for  the  winter  season.  Of- 
fers have  come  from  as  far  as  Toledo,  Ohio,  and  Bermuda.  The 
band  is  playing  many  of  the  Eastern  colleges  and  often  has  more 
offers  than  they  are  able  to  accejit. 

To  Pkiy  Fall  Houseparties 
The  "Five",  really  seven,  is  scheduled  to  give  a  concert  in 
Chapin  Hall  over  Fall  Houseparties  at  Williams.  They  ajjpeared 
in  ChajMii  in  a  joint  concert  with  the  Sjiring  Street  Stompers  last 
Spring  Houseparties.  Recently,  Phiimey's  played  in  the  New  York 
Statler  Hotel's  main  ballroom  for  the  National  Convention  of  the 
American  Academy  of  Pediatrics.  They  also  aijjieared  at  Jimmy 
Ryans'  in  a  jam  session  at  the  beginning  of  last  summer. 

Currently,  the  group  is  considering  an  offer  to  play  in  Ber- 
muda over  spring  vacation.  A  more  remote  possibility  is  a  Eu- 
ropean tour  for  the  band  next  smnmer. 

After  sjiending  two  years  developing  and  polishing  their 
bouiicv  style,  Phiimey's  Favorite  Five  is  now  ready  to  assume 
its  rightful  place,  as  many  critics  have  already  opinioned,  among 
the  top  college  jazz  bands  in  the  country. 

RECORD  Political  Opinion  Survey 
Reveals  Sentiment  on  Farm  Policy 

In  a  follow  uii  of  tlie  facidty  political  opinion  )ioli  on  the 
coming  elections,  the  RECORD  runs  the  following  excerpts  on 
the  farm  problem  as  seen  by  several  members  of  tlie  Williams  fac- 
ulty. The  question  is  posed  as  it  was  in  the  poll: 

Professor  of  Economics  W.  B.  Gates:  "It  seems  to  me  that 
maintaining  very  high  levels  of  employment  and  striking  at  the 
problems  of  ignorance,  rural  slums,  unutilized  resource  potentials 
(of  pre-TVA  type)  etc.,  is  licking  the  "farm  problem"  despite  the 
clumsy  subsidy  programs  of  both  parties.  A  transitional  subsidy 
program  may  well  be  necessary.  My  feeling  is  that  the  Republi- 
cans recognize  this  transitional  problem  as  merely  a  political  one 
and  are  not  to  be  trusted,  while  the  Democrats  are  only  slightly 
less  damned  in  their  policy  of  rigid  price  supports." 

.Member  of  the  Political  Science  Department:  "The  con- 
gressional members  working  for  short  range  props  are  about  ef|nal 
in  both  parties.  The  most  sensible  scheme  in  my  mind  is  the 
Brannan  Plan,  but  the  Democrats  probably  couldn't  legislate 
that  either.  Solution  will  come  with  more  iwpulation-which 
doesn't  depend  on  parties,  except  for  immigration  and  avoidance 
of  depression." 

Professor  of  Economics  John  Power:  "Rapid  growth  of  GNP 
and  full  employment  continuously  maintained  represent  the  best 
hope  for  solution.  This  means  increasing  demand  for  agriculture 
prrKluets  as  rapidly  as  possible  and  providing  favorable  environ- 
ment for  migration  from  farm  to  city.  I  feel  that  the  Democrats 
are  more  likely  to  use  surpluses  in  humanitarian  fashion  to  aid 
needy  here  and  abroad. 


Changes  in  Russia  for  Mankind's  Good, 
Schuman  Says  After  His  Visit  to  Soviet; 
Prof  Prepares  Book  On  USSR  Politics 


iii/  Steve  Hose 

"The  processes  of  change,  visibly  and  ))alpahly  at  work  in  the 
USSR  of  1956,  ))romise  good  for  all  inankiiul."  Thus  Protessor 
Frederick  L.  Schuman  of  the  Williams  Political  Science  Depart- 
ment concluded  a  series  of  articles  on  his  recent  trip  to  Russia 
in  the  "Nation"  magazine.  Profe.s.sor  Schiinuiii  left  Williamstown 
for  Russia  last  Mav  15  and  remained  in  the  Sovet  Union  slightly 
less  than  a  month,  lie  is  currently  at  work  on  ii  book,  tentati\i'ly 

tilled  Russia  Since  1917;  /•'()(//■ 
Decades  of  Soviet  I'olilics, 
which  will  inelnde  his  most  re- 
cent observations. 

In  an  interview  with  the 
HECOHD  Mr.  Schuman  dis- 
cussed his  views  of  (iresent  day 
Russia.  He  feels  that  the  "cur- 
rent party  line  is  one  of  trying 
to  stimulate  public  i>olitieal  cri- 
ticism as  much  as  jjossible". 
This,  ho  said,  stems  from  a  re- 
alization on  the  jiait  of  the 
go\ernnient  "that  modern  Rus- 
sia, highly  urbanized,  highly  in- 
dustrialized, and  highly  educat- 
ed, is  not  a  community  that  can 
he  ruled  by  Stalinism".  Unless 
the  i)resent  leaders  can  democ- 
ratize the  government  there  ex- 
ists the  possibility  that  there 
could  be  a  seizure  of  jiower  "by 
another  man  like  Stalin  or  Rer- 
ia". 


Professor  of  Political  Science 
Fredericli   L.    Sciiuman 


Free  to  Travel 
Throughout  his  tri]5,   Mr.   Schuman    was  free   to   trax'el 


most  anywhere".  He  chuckled  as  he  noted  that  in  "a  supposedh' 
classless  society",  there  are  five  classes  of  travel  in  Russia.  Mr. 
Schuman,  who  financed  iiis  trip  on  ad\iince  royalties  from  his 
forthcoming  book  which  will  be  published  by  Alfred  Knopf,  went 
"Deluxe"  cla.ss  throughout  his  stay.  His  journey  included  \'isits  to 
.Moscow,  Kiev,  Rostov,  Leningrad,  and  Stalingrad,  lie  w;is  per- 
mitted to  take  jihotographs  (e.\ce|)t  of  factories,  airports,  and 
military  installations ). 

According  to  Mr.  Schuman,  he  could  have  given  lectures  at 
the  Institute  of  Economies  in  Mo.scow.  He  felt,  however,  that 
his  time  was  better  spent  "learning  all  I  could  iibout  Ru.ssia ".  .\!i 
a  traveller  in  the  "Deluxe"  class  Mr.  Schuman  was  entitled  to 
both  a  car  and  guide  in  any  of  the  cities  he  x'isited.  Rut  for  the 
most  part  he  preferred  to  come  and  go  as  he  jileased.  He  noted 
that,  while  it  is  expensive,  almost  anyone  can  now  obtain  per- 
mission to  travel  in  Russia. 

Education  in  Russia 

Professor  Schuman  made  se\('ral  obserxatioiis  on  present  da\' 
education  in  the  Soviet  Union.  He  noted  that  there  are  about  two 
thirds  as-many  students, in  Bii^.siaii  luiiversities  as  there  are  in 
American  colleges  and  universities.  However,  there  are  three 
times  as  many  doctors  ( about  25,()00,  most  of  them  women ) 
graduated  each  year.  Russia  is  also  producing  more  engineers 
than  America.  "Competition  to  get  into  uiiixeisities  is  keen."  Stu- 
dents who  gain  admittance,  rather  than  pay  tuition,  receive  stip- 
ends from  the  government. 

He  was  particularly  impressed  widi  Moscow's  new  State  Uni- 
versity which  has  presently  22,()()()  enrolled  students.  "The  beau- 
tiful thirty-seven  story  tower  of  the  University  is  one  of  the  first 
sights  on  the  way  into  Nk)Scow  from  the  airport."  This  particular 
building  is  wholly  devoted  to  the  study  of  science. 

Meets  Williams  Men 
Wliile  in  Moscow  Mr.  Schuman  met  two  Williams  graduates. 
They  were  First  Secretary  Giitlrie  '37,  of  the  U.  S.  Embassy,  and 
Charles  Klench,  who  has  been  living  in  Moscow  for  almost  two 
years  working  for  a  radio  news  .service.  On  a  visit  to  the  Lenin 
State  Library,  which  claims  to  be  the  largest  in  the  world.  Mr. 
Schuman  was  |5leased  to  find  two  of  his  own  and  three  of  Dean 
Robert  R.  R.  Brooks'  books  listed  among  the  foreign  language 
books.  He  found  "nothing  critical  of  Russia"  in  the  files. 

Presently  Mr.  Schuman  is  working  on  his  book  which,  he 
says,  will  concentrate  on  the  last  decade  of  Soviet  politics.  One  of 
his  most  interesting  observations  of  modern  Russia,  he  wrote  for 
the  "Nation":  "In  sliaip  contrast  to  the  old  times,  projects  are  now 
accomplished  with  a  minimum  waste  of  labor  and  materiiils.  The 
golden  goal  of  surpassing  America  in  such  matters  is  still  far  off. 
But  a  great  industrial  civilization,  totally  socialized,  has  come  into 
being  .  .  .  They  have  learned  the  arts  and  skills  of  competence. 
They  are,  for  the  most  part,  well  dressed,  well  fed.  and  in  de- 
meanor, energetic,  hap|5y,  and  hopeful  .   .  . "

STUDYING  CAN  BE  BEAUTIFUL 

Is  studying  buRfring  you?  Do  you  have  trouble  re- 
membering names,  dates,  fact«,  figures,  and  the  location 
of  the  library?  Dear  friends,  it  need  not  be  so.  All  you 
have  to  do  i.s  master  the  simple  art  of  mnemonics. 

Mnemonics,  as  we  all  know,  was  invented  by  the  great 
Greek  philosopher  Mnemon  in  .')2()  B.C.  Mnemonics,  in- 
cidentally, was  only  one  of  the  ihany  inventions  of  this 
fertile  Athenian.  He  is  perhaps  best  Inown  for  his  in- 
vention of  the  .stairca.se,  which,  as  you  may  imagine,  was 
of  inestimable  value  to  mankind.  Before  the  staircase, 
people  who  wished  to  go  from  lloor  to  lloor  had  to  leap 
from  springboards.  This  meant,  of  course,  that  aged  and 
infirm  persons  were  forced  to  live  out  their  lives,  willy- 
nilly,  on  the  ground  floor,  and  niiuiy  of  them  grew  cross 
as  bears.  Especially  Demosthenes,  who  was  elected  con- 
sul of  Athens  three  times  but  never  served  because  he 
was  unable  to  get  up  to  the  otiice  of  the  commissioner 
of  oaths  on  the  third  floor  to  be  sworn  in. 

But  after  Mnemon's  staircase  was  invented,  Demos- 
thenes got  up  to  the  third  floor  easy  as  pie  and  took  the 
oath— to  Athens'  sorrow,  as  it  turned  out.  Demosthenes, 
his  temper  shortened  by  years  of  confinement  to  the 
ground  floor,  .soon  embroiled  his  countrymen  in  a  series  of 
senseless  and  costly  wars  with  the  Persians,  the  Visigoths, 
and  the  Ogallala  Sioux.  He  was  voted  out  of  office  in 
517  B.C.,  and  Mnemon,  who  had  made  his  accession  po.s- 
sible,  was  pelted  to  death  with  fruit  salad  in  the  Duomo. 


..■  Mi/enm-'>JS-  ^elTed-  fo.deJth-  'ilLth.^utt-vJiiJ. . 


But  I  tWffTf.nn.  We  were  di.scussing  mnemonics,  which 
are  nothing  more  than  aids  to  memory  —  catchwords  or 
jingles  that  help  .you  to  remember  names,  dates,  and 
places.  For  example,  any  student  of  American  hi.story 
surely  knows  the  little  jingle: 

ColnmbuH  sailed  the  ocean  blue 
In  fourteen  hundred  ninety  two. 

You  see  how  simple  a  mnemonic  is?  There  is  no  rea- 
son why  you  can't  make  up  your  own.  Say,  for  instance, 
that  you  are  proceeding  with  American  history. 
The  Pilgrims  landed  on  Plj/moulh  Rock 
In  sixteen  hundred  twenty,  doc. 
(This  jingle  is  e.specially  u.seful  to  medical  students.) 
The  next  important  event  is  the  Boston  Tea  Party. 
Let  us  compose  a  rough-and-ready  couplet  about  that: 
Samuel  Adams  flung  the  tea 
Into  the  briny  Zuyder  Zee. 
You  can  see  how  simple  and  useful  they  are  —  not 
only  for  history,  but  also  for  current  events.  For  instance, 
In  nineteen  hundred  fifty  six 
It's  the  cigarette  that  clicks! 

What,  you  a.sk,  is  the  cigarette  that  clicks?  Why, 
Philip  Morris,  of  corris!  And  why  shouldn't  it  click? 
Could  any  cigarette  be  more  pleasing  to  the  palate?  No! 
Could  any  cigarette  be  more  tempting  to  the  ta.ste  buds? 
No!  A  thundering,  thumping,  resounding  no!  Get  some 
today,  hey.  You'll  see.

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  A  strong 
Harvaid  soccer  team  tiavels  to 
Williamstown  this  afternoon  for 
what  could  be  the  most  exciting 
game  of  the  year  for  the  Ephmen. 
The  Ci-imson  squad  has  an  ex- 
ti'umely  powei  ful  forward  line,  and 
a  solid  handle  at  the  goal,  but  the 
team  is  very  thin  in  the  halfback 
and  fullback  spoUs. 

To  post  their  second  straight 
victory  of  the  season,  however,  the 
Chaffeemen  will  have  to  show 
moie  scoring  punch  than  they  did 
in  their  4-1  triumph  over  UMa.ss. 

Captain  Grey  Hodnett,  who  led 
Haivard  with  eleven  goals  last 
year  will  be  the  biggest  threat  to 
the  Ephs'  goalie  Jock  Purcell.  As 
the  "Harvard  Crim.son"  said,  "A 
fine  and  well-balanced  line  can 
keep  the  Crimson  a  constant  scor- 
ing threat,  provided  that  the  in- 
sides  do  not  have  to  fall  back  to 
aid  the  halfbacks."  The  Harvard 
.squad  is  also  lacking  in  depth, 
wliich  is  one  of  the  strong  points 
of  the  Eph  team,  and  it  the  Chaf- 
feemen are  liungry  enough,  a  close 
game  could  go  to  the  home  squad. 

The  probable  starting  lineup  in- 
cludes Dave  Kimball  at  left  out- 
side. Mike  Baring-Gould  at  in- 
side left.  Bruno  Quinson  at  inside 
rigln.  Dick  Towne  at  right  out- 
.side  and  co-captain  Howie  Pat- 
ter.son  at  center  forward.  In  Pat- 
terson'.s  first  game  at  this  posi- 
tion last  week,  he  proved  himself

Purple  Exhibits  Depth 
In  Comeback  Drive 


Burlington,  Vt.,  Oct.  3  - 
Williams  freshman  football  V  ..ax 
successfully  opened  its  season  by 
defeating  a  powerful  University  of 
Vermont  freshman  team,  12-8, 
here  today. 

Bob  Rorke,  playing  in  the  left 
halfback  position,  accounted  for 
both  Eph  touchdowns  with  runs  of 
58  and  20  yards,  respectively. 
Rorke's  fiist  scoring  run  came  in 
the  second  quarter  after  Vermont 
tallied  on  a  safety.  It  was  quickly 
nullified  by  a  Vermont  score  which 
gave  the  home  team  an  8-8  half- 
time  lead. 

Borke    Scores   Again 

Williams  scored  the  deciding 
touchdown  of  the  contest  in  the 
third  quarter  when  Rorke  went 
over  from  the  20  to  climax  a  sus- 
tained drive.  From  this  point  on, 
Williams  played  a  strong  defensive 
game  at  which  tackles  Fay  Vincent 
and  Ed  Eggers  were  particularly 
outstanding. 

The  Eph  victory  was  a  united 
effort  and  twenty-four  of  the  thir- 
ty-three men  on  the  squad  parti- 
cipated. Tile  frosh  face  their  sec- 
ond test  this  Saturday  when  they 
meet  a  highly  rated  Andover  team 
at  Andover. 


Tufts  Dumps  Trinity; 
Amherst  Wins  Again 

Saturday,  Oct.  13  -  Although  the 
Williams  football  team  continued 
to  romp  by  overpowering  Middle- 
bury,  33-7,  the  Eph's  major  oppo- 
nents also  rolled  up  impressive 
wins.  Both  Amherst  and  powerful 
Tufts  enjoyed  successful  outings 
today. 

After  upsetting  Harvard  last 
week.  Tufts  remained  undefeated 
by  smashing  hapless  Trinity,  52-20. 
Tlie  Jumboes  shut  out  Trinity  in 
the  first  half  but  let  up  in  the  fi- 
nal two  periods.  Amherst  ran  up 
a  20-0  lead  in  the  first  ten  minutes 
of  its  game  with  Bowdoin  and  then 
coasted  to  a  39-6  victory. 
Union   Defeated 

An  89-yard  run  in  the  third 
quarter  enabled  the  University  of 
Rochester  to  defeat  Union,  6-0.  Ex- 
cept for  this  costly  play,  the  Un- 
ion defense  appeared  quite  rugged.

Eph  Coach  Comments 

On  Saturday  Victory 


Sunday,  Oct.  14  -  Halfback  Dick 
Fearon  will  definitely  miss  next 
week's  football  game  against  Bow- 
doin, Eph  coach  Len  Walters  said 
tonight.  Fearon  pulled  a  ligament 
in  his  knee  in  Saturday's  game. 
Team  physician.  Dr.  E.  J.  Cough- 
Ian,  will  be  checking  on  Fearon's 
condition  to  see  if  he  can  play 
against  Tufts. 

Watters  called  Middlebury  "the 
best  team  we've  met  this  season." 
This  comment  came  after  his  team 
had  methodically  rolled  over  the 
Panthers,  33-7.  "We  played  a  fairly 
good  game,"  commented  Wat- 
ters, "but  we  were  not  as  sharp  as 
in  our  other  two  games.  We  were 
penalized  sixty  yards  in  the  fourth 
quarter  and  tlrat  hurt  us,"  he  add- 
ed. 

Watters  seemed  quite  reserved 
in  discussing  yesterday's  victory, 
perhaps  as  a  result  of  considering 
how  this  performance  might  stack 
up  against  Tufts,  a  team  which 
the  Ephs  meet  in  two  weeks.  The 
Jumbos  swamped  Trinity  today. 
52-20,  for  their  third  straight  vic- 
tory, and  the  Tufts  game  on 
Houseparty  Weekend  is  looming  up 
as  a  major  test  for  the  Ephmen. 
In  looking  towards  next  Satur- 
day's game,  Watters  added,  "We 
won  our  third  game  today,  and 
we  will  be  after  our  fourth  against 
Bowdoin."

een  yard  carry  around  end  in  the 
third  period,  and  Ted  Sage  tallied 
his  second  six  points  on  a  six 
yard  jaunt  in  the  concluding  stan- 
za. 

The  Ephmen  varied  their  u.sual 
straight  running  attack  with  a 
combination  of  pitchouts  and  lat- 
erals that  had  the  Panther  line 
in  a  panic.  Quarterbacks  Gary  Hig- 
gins  and  Appleford  also  employed 
the  option  play  where  they  picked 
up  yardage  on  keeps  around  end. 
The  Ephs  picked  up  twenty  two 
first  downs  and  413  yards  rushing 
in  continuing  their  powerful 
ground  game. 

Passings    Attack 

Tire  home  team's  passing  at- 
tack was  considerably  improved 
over  previous  weeks.  Higgins  com- 
pleted several  flat  passes  to  half 
back  Whitey  Kaufman,  and  Joe 
Perrott  caught  a  bullet  pass  from 
Appleford  in  the  final  period  for 
an  Eph  first  down. 

Middlebury  scored  its  only 
touchdown  with  but  a  minute  and 
a  half  left  to  go  in  the  game  when 
halfback  Bill  Ti-yder  carried  the 
ball  fifty  two  yards  after  he  had 
outrun  the  Williams  secondary. 
The  point  after  touchdown  was 
made  on  an  unusual  fake  kick  and 
pass  play  that  fooled  the  Ephmen 
completely.  By  this  time,  however, 
the  game  was  out  of  any  doubt, 
and  the  Middlebury  fans  seemed 
well  pleased  to  have  even  tallied 
at  the  expense  of  so  strong  an  op- 
ponent. 

The  loss  of  first  team  captain 
Dick  Fearon  will  undoubtably  hurt

Siiiulay,  Sq)t.  1(  -  Prcpanitions  lor  llic  third  annual  (.'aiccr 
WeekiMicl  liavc  iK'Unn  at  the  oflicc  of  Assistant  Director  ol  Place- 
ment Manton  C'opeland.  The  weekend,  sehednleil  this  year  for 
Feljriuirv  1  and  2  right  after  the  nn'dterni  reeess,  features  dis- 
cussions led  l>y  distinf^uislieil  alumni  Irom  various  areas  of  the 

business  and  professional  worlds. O 

All   Williams  students  are  invited 
to  attend  these  dicussions. 


The  fields  which  are  to  be  re- 
presented in  the  discussions  will 
be  determined  this  year  by  a  poll 
of  the  student  body.  Another  in- 
novation, proposed  by  the  students 
who  attended  last  year's  discuss- 
ions in  a  Placement  Office  ques- 
tionnaire, will  be  a  much  shorter 
session  Friday  night,  when  a  few 
alumni  open  the  weekend  with 
talks  on  possible  careers. 

Commented  Mr.  Copeland: 
"Really  our  program  will  come 
from  the  students  this  yeai." 

Schedule 

Except  for  the  shorter  opening 
meeting,  the  schedule  of  this 
year's  weekend  will  not  be  very 
different  from  the  schedule  of  last 
year.  On  Saturday  morning,  nine 
representatives  of  various  types  of 
businesses  will  lead  discussions 
lasting  about  1  and  one-half  hours. 
Last  year,  the  topics  of  these  dis- 
cussions included  industry  and  fi- 
nance, journalism  and  advertising. 

Similar  afternoon  sessions  will 
be  led  by  men  from  the  profession- 
al world  and  from  education.  All 
these  men  will  be  alum.ni  of  Wil- 
liams. The  value  of  these  discuss- 
ions was  universally  acclaimed  by 
those  who  attended  them  last  year. 

Committees 

The  Alumni  Committee  woiking 
on  the  weekend  is  headed  by  New 
York  lawyer  Ira  Hawkins  '16,  who

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  Four  ma- 
jor productions  and  two  concert 
readings  highlight  the  1956-57 
schedule  at  the  Adams  Memorial 
Theatre. 

The  major  productions  will  in- 
clude "The  Critic"  by  Richard  B. 
Sheridan,  a  satire  of  18th  century 
theatre,  on  Dec.  13-15;  "The  Wild 
Duck"  by  Ibsen  on  Mar.  14-16;  a 
French  play  to  be  directed  by  John 
Savacool  April  10  and  a  Cap  and 
Bells  production,  set  for  May  9-11. 

Two    Readings 

In  addition,  two  concert  read- 
ings are  included.  The  readings  are 
presentationally  similar  to  radio 
broadcasts  in  which  the  actors 
merely  read  the  parts  into  micro- 
phones, rather  than  act  out  the 
parts  visually.  The  purpose  of  this 
is  to  offer  plays  of  considerable 
literary  merit  that  are  relatively 
unknown  and  rarely  produced  on 
a  professional  stage. 

The  subscription  price  for  all 
six  productions  is  $5.00  and  sub- 
scription holders  also  get  first 
chance  at  seats  for  other  AMT 
attractions.  In  addition,  tickets  for 
individual  presentations  are   sold. 

First   Attraction 

The  first  attraction  is  scheduled 
for  Tuesday,  October  23,  when  a 
concert  reading  of  "Yes  is  for  a 
Very  Young  Man"  will  be  offered. 
Written  by  Gertrude  Stein,  the 
play  concerns  the  occupation  of 
France  and  the  figlit  between  col- 
laborationists and  patriots. 

The  presentation  will  be  directed 
by  John  Mattice  '56,  now  a  gradu- 
ate student  in  Theatre  at  the 
AMT.  Mattice  has  already  chosen 
his  cast  and  begun  rehearsals. 

The  cast  will  include  Bob  Vail 
'58,  and  Mrs.  Barbara  Taylor  in 
the  lead  roles  along  with  Jol  Ober- 
ly,  Tony  Distler  '59,  Mrs.  A.  C. 
Piper,  Mrs.  B.  R.  Hurley,  Dick 
Willhite  '59,  Geoff  Swift  '59,  and 
George  Dietz  '59. 


Missionary  Group 
Plans  Conference 
Here    Next    Month 


Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  On  De- 
cember 7.  8  and  9,  the  Williams 
College  Chapel  will  be  the  host  of 
200  or  250  delegates  to  the  Con- 
ference of  Missionaries.  Tills  will 
mark  the  conclusion  in  a  series  of 
conferences  held  this  year  to  cele- 
brate the  Se.squicentennial  of  the 
Christian  missionary  haystack 
movement  in  the  United  States. 
Delegates  will  come  from  most 
western  New  England  colleges. 

The  conference  is  being  present- 
ed with  the  help  of  the  Student 
Christian  Movement  in  New  Eng- 
land, which  is  represented  on  most 
colleges  in  the  Connecticut  River 
Valley.  The  main  theme  will  be  the 
discussion  of  Christian  mission- 
uries  in  our  present  age  of  strug- 
gle. 

Schuman  to  Speak 

Prof.  Frederick  Schuman  of  the 
Williams  Political  Science  Depart- 
ment will  open  the  discussion  on 
a  factual  basis  with  a  speech  en- 
titled, "The  World  Situation,  as  I 
See  It".  Then  Reverend  Lehman 
of  the  Harvard  Divinity  School  will 
relate  Schuman's  talk  to  the  role 
of  the  Christian  missionary  in  such 
a  world.  A  panel  discu.ssion  by  the 
Pars  Group  from  Union  Theologi- 
cal Seminary  will  follow. 

The  Pars  group  consists  of  mis- 
sionaries from  all  over  the  globe 
who  have  come  to  Union  Tlieologi- 
cal  Seminary  for  advanced  courses. 
They  come,  for  the  most  part, 
from  the  Far  East,  but  also  from 
Europe,  the  Near  East  and  Africa. 
The  group  will  relate  Prof.  Schu- 
man's speech  and  Rev.  Lehman's 
sermon  to  specific  cases  in  their 
homeland.  Rev.  Lehman  will  end 
the  conference  on  Sunday  with  a 
sermon  entitled  "Where  do  we  go 
from  here?".

speeches,  the  parents  will  be  treat- 
ed to  songs  by  the  Williams  Octet. 
Festivities  will  draw  to  a  close 
on  Sunday  when  a  special  Chapel 
service  will  be  held  at  11:00  a.m. 
President  James  Phinney  Baxter.

An   "Ordinary"   Play 

The  original  production  of  the 
l)lny  was  to  have  been  staged  by 
Uic  Drama  Group  at  the  American 
.i^rmy  University  in  Biarritz, 
I'Yance,  but  was  banned  at  the  last

Williams   Creates 
Extension  Course 


Program  to  Train  Men 
For  General  Electric 


Saturday.  Oct.  20  -  Williams 
College  has  set  up  an  evening  ex- 
tension program  for  the  General 
Electric  Company  in  an  attempt 
to  meet  the  shortage  of  techni- 
cally-trained personnel  at  the 
Pittefield  plant. 

Dr.  James  P,  Baxter  3d,  of  Wil- 
liams pointed  out  that  this  Is 
the  first  time  that  Williams  has 
participated  in  such  an  extension 
program.  This  college  conducted 
an  institute  for  selected  members 
of  the  Bell  System  this  past  sum- 
mer, but  on  a  different  plane. 
This  agreement  with  General  Elec- 
tric Is  on  a  one-year,  experimental 
basis. 

Program  is  Voluntary 

According  to  Philip  D.  Moore, 
QE's  manager  of  employee  and 
plant  community  relations,  the 
technicians  have  enrolled  in  the 
program  on  a  voluntary  basis  and 
are  attending  classes,  after  their 
normal  working  hours,  three  even- 
ings each  week.  Classroom  sessions 
in  physics,  mathematics  and  Eng- 
lish are  conducted  by  members  of 
the  Williams  faculty  at  Pittsfield 
High  School.  Students  travel  to 
WllUamstown  for  the  laboratory 
sessions.  All  tuition,  laboratory  fees 
and  book  costs  are  paid  for  by  GE 

"This  program  is  a  partial  solu- 
tion to  GE's  critical  shortage  of 
engineers  and  other  technical  per 
sonnel."     Mr.     Moore     explained. 
"Besides    gaining    further    know 
ledge  which  can  be  used  on  their 
present  Jobs,  these  men  will  earn 
college  engineering  credits."

Wesleyan  Announces 
$150    Tuition    Raise 


Annual  Price  to  Equal 
Present  Williams  Cost 


Saturday,  Oct.  20  -  The  pre- 
sident of  Wesleyan  University, 
Victor  L.  Butterfield,  announced 
that  the  Wesleyan  tuition  will  be 
Increased  by  $150  on  October  21, 
1956.  This  increase  raises  the  tui- 
tion to  $800,  which  is  equal  to 
Williams  present  rate.  It  is  rumor- 
ed on  the  Williams  campus  that 
the  present  Eph  tuition  is  due  for 
another  raise. 

The  Wesleyan  president  stressed 
that  scholarship  funds  will  be  in-

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  To  a  small 
Bathering  of  interested  faculty, 
piospective  debators  and  other  stu- 
dents, two  economic  professors  and 
a  political  science  profes.sor  offered 
lliuir  views  on  "Direct  Economic 
Aid"  in  an  Adelphic  tJnion  panel 
tHnight. 

The  main  difference  of  opinion 
seemed  to  lie  over  whether  or  not 
alternatives  to  "direct  aid"  are 
feasible  for  all  three.  Professors 
Gates,  Power  and  Barnett,  agreed 
that  economic  aid  was  indispens- 
able in  the  "competitive  co-exis- 
tance  with  the  Soviet  Bloc".  Prof. 
Barnett  voiced  this  consensus  of 
opinion  when  he  said  that  our 
major  aim  has  to  be  to  meet  the 
■■(■liuUenge  of  Soviet  competition 
for  the  uncommitted  peoples  of 
the  world". 

Gates'  View 

Prof.  Gates,  chairman  of  the 
Economics  Department,  spoke  first 
on  the  difficulties  confronting  our 
present  progiam  of  "direct  aid". 
He  defined  such  aid  as  "grants  or 
loans  by  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment to  foreign  undeveloped 
countries"  and  stated  he  was  "for 
it". 

He  said,  however,  that  a  major 
consideration  must  be  "can  we  do 
it  effectively"  for  "a  little  aid 
sporadically  given  ...  in  an  an- 
noying manner . .  .  may  be  worse 
than  nothing".  To  be  effective,  aid 
must  have  continuity,  which  our 
annually  approved  budget  cannot 
guarantee;  technical  assistance, 
which  we  are  unable  to  supply  In 
the  proper  proportions:  and  a 
minimum  of  political  interference, 
w.hich  our  state  department  can- 
not avoid.  Gates  claimed  that 
either  through  the  UN  or  US  sub- 
sidy of  private  investment,  an  im- 
provement of  these  faults  could 
be  made. 

No  Alternatives 

Prof.  Barnett,  chairman  of  the 
Political  Science  Department,  then 
arose  to  say,  "Although  some  pro- 
grams look  like  alternatives,  there

Thursday,  Oct.  18  -  The  eloquent 
forensic  abilities  of  Smith  and 
Williams  were  combined  this  ev- 
ening for  the  Adelphic  Union's  an- 
nual Freshman  Smoker  in  the 
Rathskeller.  Amidst  the  ale-laden 
enthusiasm  of  those  in  attendance, 
the  tone  of  the  current  political 
campaign  was  vividly  upheld  in  a 
stirring  debate  on  the  issue  "Re- 
solved: This  House  Deplores  Ri- 
chard M.  Nixon."  Each  of  the  Eph 
debaters  took  a  'partner  from  Par- 
adise Pond',  with  Arne  Carlson 
joining  Kay  Quin  in  the  affirma- 
tive cause,  and  John  Struthers  ac- 
companying Alison  Osborne  on  the 
negative    side. 

After  dwelling  at  length  upon 
the  word  "deplore".  Miss  Quin 
went  on  to  condemn  Vice-Presi- 
dent Nixon's  unethical  campaign 
practices  and  lack  of  political  phil- 
osophy. She  compared  his  morality 
to  that  of  the  Bible  in  that  one 
could  prove  almost  anything  by 
what  Mr.  Nixon  has  said  at  one 
time  or  another.  Her  Northampton 
counterpart  also  displayed  interest 
in  "deplore",  but  she  moved  on 
immediately  to  a  hard-hitting 
speech  upholding  the  incumbent 
Veep  as  an  "intelligent,  loyal,  and 
dedicated  man  who  combines  ex- 
perience and  maturity  with  energy 
and  devotion". 

"One  Heartbeat" 

Mr.  Carlson  then  delivered  a  hu- 
morous refutation  of  Miss  Os- 
borne's case,  demanding  a  defi- 
nition of  Nixon's  true  political 
philasophy  and  gently  reminding 
his  audience  that  "just  one  heart- 
beat separates  the  Vice-President 
from  the  White  House".  In  the  fi- 
nal speech  before  rebuttal,  Mr. 
Struthers  condemned  the  "vicious 
smear  campaign"  which  has  been 
conducted  against  Nixon  as  a  mag- 
nification of  insignificant  data  out 
of  context.  Both  sides  developed 
their  cases  further  in  rebuttal,  but 
no  official  decision  was  rendered.

Williams  College  Chest  Fund  Drives  for  $6000  Goal; 
Students  May  Contribute  For  Only  Two  More  Days 


Saturday,  Oct.  20  -  The  Wil- 
liams Chest  Fund  draws  to  a  close 
in  two  days.  Under  the  direction 
of  Dick  Clokey  '58,  members  of 
the  Williams  College  Chapel  are 
making  their  final  calls  in  their 
bid  to  top  the  $6000  goal  they 
have  set  for  the  drive. 

Nine  different  organizations 
benefit  from  the  contributions 
made  to  the  Chest  Drive.  Two  of 
these,  the  Williamstown  Welfare 
Fund  and  the  Boys'  Club,  are  lo- 
cal. All  are  worthwhile. 

Other  Beneficiaries 

On  the  non-local  side,  benefi- 
ciaries will  Include  CARE,  the 
March  of  Dimes,  the  National  Ne 
gro  Scholarships  fund,  and  the 
Heart,  Cancer  and  Tuberculosis 
funds,  and  the  World  University 
Service  Fund.  Tlie  campaign  is 
geared  to  get,  all  at  once,  the  a- 
mount  which  would  otherwise  be 
sought  in  a  number  of  smaller 
drives  during  the  year. 

With  a  goal  amounting  to  ap- 
proximately $6.00  a  per.son,  the 
volunteers  conducting  the  drive 
have  emphasized  the  great  need 
for  everyone  to  give,  and  give  gen- 
erously. There  is  at  least  one  re- 
presentative for  each  social  unit 
on  the  campus,  and  the  junior  ad- 
visers are  accepting  donations  in 
the  freshman  quad.  Anyone  who 
Is  inadvertently  missed  is  urged  to 
make  his  donation  directly  to  Clo- 
key or  any  other  worker. 

The  Williams  Chest  Fund  drive 
coincides  with  the  local  Communi- 
ty Chest  Ftmd  campaign  which  Js 
being  carried  on  among  the  towns- 
people. The  beneficiaries  of  the 
two  drives  are  not  the  same  In  all 
cases,  however. 


Thursday,  Oct.  18  -  A  total  of 
$600  in  dormitory  prizes  has  been 
divided  among  twelve  Williams 
College  students  for  maintaining 
their  dormitory  rooms  clean  and 
ojderly.  The  prizes,  announced  to- 
day by  Charles  A.  Foehl,  Jr.,  col- 
lege treasurer,  were  made  possible 
by  an  anonymous  menTber  of  the 
Class  of  1930.  The  donor's  gift  also 
covers  the  next  four  years. 

According  to  the  terms  of  the 
gift,  five  prizes  of  $100  each  will 
be  awarded  each  year  for  five 
years  to  those  students  who  have 
during  the  year  maintained  their 
dormitory  rooms  in  the  best  con- 
dition of  cleanliness  and  order, 
and  have  thereby  demonstrated 
such  care  and  respect  for  college 
property  as  will  result  In  the  best 
preservation  of  the  college  dormi- 
tories. Provision  has  been  made  lo 
divide  each  award  among  students 
occupying  suites  of  rooms,  if  more 
than  one  student  is  involved. 

Dormitory  rooms  are  inspected 
by  the  Superintendent  of  Buildings 
and  Grounds  at  intervals  through- 
out the  year,  and  a  final  inspec- 
tion, in  the  company  of  the  Dean, 
is  made  one  week  before  the  end 
of  the  second  semester.  Awards 
given  last  year  went  to:  L.  A. 
Fisher  '56,  and  H.  P.  Lipplncott 
'56,  of  22  Jesup  Hall;  F.  A.  Morse,

Sophomores  Occupy  East  College 
As  Deans  Completes  Construction 

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  "Occupation  East.''  according  to  Build- 
ings and  Gromids  Superintendent  Peter  Welanetz,  was  com])leted 
Fridtiv  afternoon  when  the  last  of  the  48  sophomores  lixiiig  on  cots 
in  the  gvni  moved  into  renovated  East  College.  Oidv  finishing 
touches  reiniui  of  the  "outstanding"  construction  job  hegtm  last 
June  by  local  contractor  David  M.  Deans. 

Thanks  to  ingenious  construction  techniques,  tlie  renovation 
of  East  College  (built  in  1798)  took  one-fifth  the  time  and  co.st 
S25.(K)0  less  than  a  similar  job  on  West  College  six  vears  ago.  West, 
the  oldest  (1790)  building  on  cain])iis,  was  destro\ed  bv  fire  in 
December  of  1950,  and  was  not  ready  for  occupancy  until  the  fall 
of  1952, 

Techniques 

The  time  and  moiiey-sa\iiig  reiio\atioii  was  designed  by  Bos- 
ton architects  Cram  and  Ferguson.  Last  June  the  roof  was  lifted  off 
East  C'ollege  and  the  whole  interior  gutted,  leaving  only  the  thick 
( 16-20  iiiclies )  brick  walls.  The  hand-bewni  chestnut  beams  at  the 
base  of  the  inside  of  the  walls  were  reino\etl,  and  replaced  bv 
steel  and  concrete  foundations. 

Then,  conventional  construction  practice  was  ignored.  Pre- 
fabricated walls— custom-tailored  downi  to  a  (piarter  inch,  and 
down  to  every  door-opening  and  each  sjiace  for  drinking  foun- 
tains and  fire  extinguishers— were  brought  to  Williamstown  from 
tlic  Flcxcor  Coqwration  in  Providence.  \\.  1. 

These   steel-reinforced  concrete  walls   were  lifted  by  crane 
over  the  brick  skeleton  and  set  in  place  on  the  new  foundations.  In 
effect,  the  renovated  East  College  is  a  building  within  a  building. 
Moiin/  Sflt'fff 

Because  saved  time  means  saved  monev  in  construction,  the 
speed  of  "Operation  East "  was  helpful  to  \\Mlh'ams  College  in  a 
year  when,  among  other  jobs,  a  wing  was  added  to  the  library. 
The  whole  job  cost  $200,000. 

The  saving  over  the  West  College  job  was,  as  Mr,  Welanetz 
pointed  oiif.  greater  than  the  $25,000  difference  in  cost.  Con- 
struction costs,  he  said,  have  been  ri.sing  7  to  8  per  cent  a  year 
since  West  was  renovated.

AND  THE  GREATEST  OF  THESE 

What  is  certainly  one  of  tlie  worthiest  of  all  endeavors  eii- 
f];aged  in  by  Williams  student:;  is  the  aiiiuial  WCC  Chest  Fund 
Di'i\e.  The  WCC  and  Dick  Clokey  '58,  the  chairman  of  the  drive, 
hope  that  the  campaien  will  net  $6,000  in  order  that  all  of  the 
worthwhile  charities  slated  for  aid  may  get  their  full  share  of  the 
fund. 

In  1955,  for  some  unfathomable  reason,  Williams  undergrad- 
uates refused  to  dig  deep  enough  into  their  grey  flannels,  and  the 
drive  fell  $700  short  of  the  same  goal  that  has  been  set  for  this 
year.  The  WCC  was  forced  to  renege  on  several  of  its  commit- 
ments. 

A  Nominal  Fee 
Each  student's  share  of  the  goal  is  approximately  six  dollars— 
a  rather  nominal  fee  when  one  considers  that  the  Fund  encompass- 
es the  drives  of  most  of  the  worthwhile  charities  in  this  country 
and  that  no  other  group  will  be  allowed  to  canvass  the  Williams 
campus  for  the  reinander  of  the  year.  Thinking  realistically  from 
our  past  experience  with  the  Fund,  we  know  that  some  Williams 
students  will  not  contribute  their  share.  While  we  hope  and  pray 
that  our  estimate  is  wrong,  we  nevertheless  must  urge  the  rest 
of  the  undergraduate  body  to  give  more  than  six  dollars  in  order 
that  the  drive  may  go  over  the  top. 

Every  Williams  man  should  take  the  opportunity  to  visit  the 
Williamstown  Boys'  Club  which  receives  funds  from  the  drive. 
When  one  sees  the  fun  being  had  by  these  children,  he  realizes 
how  worthwhile  the  canvass  now  going  on  is.  AND  this  is  only 
one  of  the  many  worthy  causes  covered  by  the  '56  Fund. 

Social  representatives  and  JA's  are  still  soliciting  jjledges. 
Williams  students,  who  by  and  large  are  among  the  best  off  in 
the  world,  should  welcome  the  opportunity  to  aid  the  less  fortu- 
nate. Let's  all  get  on  the  badnwagon  to  make  the  1956  Chest  Fund 
a  great  success  and  thereby  compensate  for  last  year's  failure. 

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

TO:  EDITOR  OF  THE  RECORD 

The  College  Health  Department  is  planning  in  the  near  fu- 
ture to  give  Salk  poliomyelitis  vaccine  to  all  undergraduates  who 
desire  it.  Those  under  twenty-one  years  of  age  will  require  parent- 
al i^ermission,  and  cards  are  now  being  mailed  to  all  parents  re- 
questing a  statement  from  them  on  this  point.  It  is  hoped  that  it 
will  be  possible  to  begin  the  actual  injections  during  the  week 
of  the  28th.  Exact  details  will  be  announced  later  by  the  Health 
Department. 

Salk  vaccine  is  administered  in  three  doses  —  the  first  two 
not  less  than  two  to  four  weeks  apart,  and  the  third  not  less  than 
seven  months  later.  The  first  two  doses  are  given  to  stimulate 
antibody  formation  against  the  poliomyelitis  viruses;  the  third 
dose  is  a  booster,  which  can  be  expected  to  measurably  increase 
the  level  of  antibodies.  The  College  Health  Department  joins  with 
State  and  Federal  public  health  authorities  in  urging  immuniza- 
tion in  the  college-age  group.  The  vaccine,  now  generally  available, 
has  been  proven  safe  and  effective  in  many  millions  of  individuals. 

The  College  Health  Department  vidll  make  no  charge  for  giv- 
ing the  injections,  but  students  twenty  years  of  age  and  older  will 
be  asked  to  pay  $1.00  each  for  their  injections  to  cover  the  cost  of 
the  vaccine.  It  will  be  possible  to  get  vaccine  free  from  the  State 
Health  Department  for  individuals  below  their  twentieth  birth- 
day on  the  date  that  tlie  parental  permit  card  is  signed.  Many  stu- 
dents have  already  had  one  or  two  injections  of  the  Salk  vaccine, 
and  these  courses  can  be  continued  or  completed  at  the  College 
Clinic. 

I  will  appreciate  it  very  much  if  you  will  publish  this  infor- 
mation in  the  RECORD,  and  we  will  keep  you  informed  of  further 
developments. 

Very  sincerely  yours,

7ao  Ho  to  Continue  Painting  at  Williams; 
Talented  Freshman  Uses  Water  Colors, 
Specializes  in  Landscapes,  Still  Lifes 


By  Dick  Daoin 

There  aren't  very  many  young  men  in  tiiis  world  who  can  call 
themselves  accomplished  professionals  at  tlie  age  ol  iiiueteeii,  l)ul 
the  Williams  .student  body  can  claim  one.  Tao  Ho,  of  the  (-'lass  ol 
1960,  is  a  professional  painter  with  a  great  potential,  lie  is  already 
a  veteran  of  two  exhibitions,  and  while  one  was  ;i  non-commercial 
affair,  the  other  netted  him  approximately  six-hundicd  dollars.  A 
lot  of  Greenwich  \illagites  haven't  sold  this  much  in  :i  lifetime 
of  painting. 

Tao  is  the  brother  of  Chien  Ho  '.57,  and  his  home  is  in  Hong 
Kong.  He  has  also  lived  in  Nanking  and  Shanghai,  but  the  lamily 
flew  to  the  safety  of  Hong  Kong  just  before  the  C;hinese  Commu- 
nist Army  marched  into  Shanghai  in  1949.  His  father  is  a  business 
man  ancl  writer-translator,  and  a  graduate  of  the  1927  Class  at 
the  University  of  CaHfornia.  When  Chien  finished  high  school  in 
Hong  Kong,  a  classmate  of  Mr.  Ho  recommended  Williams  as  one 
of  the  best  small  colleges  in  America.  He  ajiplied  and  was  ac- 
cepted with  a  Bowdoin  plan  scholarship,  and  now,  three  years 
later,  Tao  is  following  in  liis  brother's  footsteps. 

Student  of  Madume  I'i 

U))  until  two  years  ago,  Tao  was  a  self-taught  artist.  He  dc- 
velo]5ed  a  desire  to  ])aint  early  in  life,  but  "did  not  have  the  chance 
to  ])raetice  (iroperly".  Then  a  friend  of  the  family,  Madame  Fan 
Tchun  Pi,  one  of  the  few  internationallv  famous  Chinese  artists, 
retmiied  to  Hong  Kong  from  France.  "I  asked  her  to  teach  me  to 
paint",  says  Tao,  "hut  she  said  she  would  not  stay  long  in  Hong 
Kong.  She  told  me  only  to  paint  with  her  when  she  painted.  After 
two  months  she  went  to  Japan." 

"At  that  time  I  still  did  not  know  how  to  paint  at  all.  Since 
then  I  started  to  paint  bv  myself,  and  now  after  two  vears'  work 
I  know  a  little  about  painting."  C-hinese  painting,  according  to 
Tao,  has  been  a  dead  art  for  a  long  time  because  of  a  dirth  of  oi- 
iginality;  the  artists  merely  repeat  themsehes.  and  the  figures  al- 
ways have  the  same  form.  To  avoid  getting  into  this  rut,  Madame 
Pi  advised  him  to  "jiaint  with  \'our  own  eyes  and  mind,  not  with 
others'  ".  Tao  has  heeded  this  warning,  and  has  conse(|uentlv  evolv- 
ed a  style  which  he  siuns  up  as  'midway  between  East  and  West ". 

Though  Tao  is  making  an  effort  to  vary  his  repertoire  so  as 
to  keep  all  media  of  expression  open,  he  has  his  specialties.  Foi' 
the  most  part,  he  emjjloys  delicate  water  colors,  and  rockv  land- 
scapes are  a  favorite.  He  also  draws  excellent  jsortraits,  and  is 
particularly  effective  with  still  lifes  and  animals.  He  uses  rice 
paper  boards,  and  stresses  red,  blue,  vellow.  and  brown  hues.  He 
can  dash  off  a  landscape  in  a  couple  of  hoius,  but  a  portrait  some- 
times takes  him  over  twice  as  long. 

Pittsbiir'^h  Exhibitiim 

Before  coming  U|5  to  Williams  this  fall,  Tao  stopped  in  Pitts- 
burgh to  visit  a  friend  of  his  father.  Though  a  non-creative  mood 
hit  him,  and  as  he  says,  "I  couldn't  ])aint  anvthing",  Taos  jire- 
vious  work  caught  the  eve  of  the  publicity  director  of  Kaul- 
mann's  Department  Store.  K  special  exhibition  w:is  arranged  in 
the  stori^'s  gallery,  and  in  less  tlian  a  week,  '1:10  liad  sold  thirtv 
paintings  at  a  price  of  roiighlv  $20  apiece,  "I  guess  mv  portraits 
aren't  too  good ",  Tao  exjilains,  "because  |5eo])le  bought  mostly  the 
other  subjects." 

Two  weeks  ago  in  the  conference  room  of  the  Student  Uin'on, 
Tao  showed  the  remainder  of  his  somewhat  depleted  coik'ction.  A 
number  of  students  and  facultv  took  in  the  exhibition,  and  the  re- 
marks in  Tao's  guest  book  (fast  becoming  fidl)  vouch  for  the 
unanimous  and  veiy  entbusia.stic  approval  of  the  audience.  Inci- 
dentally, for  those  who  inissed  it,  Tao  lives  in  room  23  of  Berk- 
shire Hall,  and  keeps  iihotographs  of  all  his  work. 

iVo  Time  for  Painting  Here 

Tao  likes  Williams  "very  much",  and  finds  the  beauty  of  the 
campus  stimulating.  Williams,  though  not  appreciably  harder  than 
his  high  school,  cuts  down  on  his  painting  time.  "No  matter 
whether  its  high  school  or  college,  I  have  to  work  verv  hard,  and 
my  schedule  is  ()uite  heavy  so  that  I  can't  )5aint  when  I  like  to 
paint.  Last  Sunday  I  went  with  Mr.  Pelham,  my  faculty  adviser, 
up  to  Vermont  and  New  York  State,  and  I  had  a  chance  to  paint 
two  landscapes.  I  think  Williamstown  is  an  ideal  place  for  paint- 
ing. I'm  sure  111  paint  a  lot  here  during  the  holidays." 

Tao  likes  America,  too,  and  doesn't  find  it  too  much  different 
from  his  native  land.  "Same  sky,  same  hills,  and  same  water,  just 
like  at  home."  His  affability  will  he  an  asset,  for  he  doesn't  plan 
to  go  home  for  .six  years.  After  finishing  Williams,  he  will  study 
architecture,  and  after  that  .  .  .  "my  purpose  in  coming  here  is 
only  to  study  in  order  to  serve  my  people.  So  I  plan  to  go  back 
to  my  free  country  after  all  my  studies."

Hanging  above  a  paper  laden  desk  in  a  small  East  Wing  (i|. 
fice  of  the  White  House  rests  a  beautiful,  full  color  photograph  uf

posure  in  such  an  atmosplu-re  of  intensiveness  is  the  work  of  ivvo 
men  of  Williamstown.  The  photographer  involved  is  Allen  Foilil, 
class  of  1956,  and  the  occupant  of  the  office  is  Frederick  V\,\\

"At  the  present  time  the  picture  is  mv  most  nreeious  reni(;ii- 
brance  of  Williams  at  Washington  and  1  :uii  indeed  very  nro  id 
of  it."  These  were  the  words  of  Mr.  Fox  talking  informallv  iii 
friends  at  a  reception  held  in  his  honor  a  lew  weeks  ago  durmir 
tlie  Haystack  Convocation  festi\ities.  lOarlv  this  past  suunner  !ic 
had  received  a  White  House  appointment  as  a  speei:il  assist  iit 
to  Col.  Kevin  McCami  on  the  Kisenhc.ver  presidential  staff.  \li. 
Fox  originally  came  to  Williamstown  in  November  of  19.52,  i.'- 
placing  Re\'.  George  Belby. 

In  disciLssing  Washington  and  his  personal  position,  Mr.  I\,.\ 
stated  that  he  was  immensely  pleaseil  and  honored  with  his  c  r- 
respondent  secretary  duties.  Actual  work,  he  exphiined,  ent;i  Is 
letter  response  research,  writing  replies  to  some  ol  the  10,(XK)  I.  l- 
ters  that  pour  in  each  week,  and  presidential  speech  writing  ,l^. 
sistance.  The  hours,  from  8  to  6  p.m.  in  a  six  day  week  constitnic 
"the  longest  1  have  ever  exiierienced"  but  he  assured  that  he  thor- 
oughly enjoyed  his  work. 

Interest  Increase 

"Letter  writing  to  the  President  of  the  United  States  has  e\- 
perienced  a  tremendous  rise  in  the  last  two  tlecades",  Mr.  lux 
informed.  "People  these  days  tend  to  address  their  specific  gri(\- 
ances,  not  to  state  officials  anymore,  but  to  the  While  House. 
Since  the  days  of  Roo.sevelt  ( F.  D.)  there  hits  existed  in  Washiii';- 
ton  the  iniwritten  law  that  all  letters  are  to  be  imswered.  It  is 
fairly  evident  that  the  .\merican  people  are  much  more  eonseious 
than  e\cr  before  of  office  of  the  presidency.  As  the  result  of  mv 
inclirect  contact  with  people  from  every  state,  I  not  only  can  re- 
ali/e  the  stress  on  the  executive,  but  also  have  ii  wider  vision 
range  of  the  160  nn'lliou  people  in  this  kind  " 
\\7ii/e  House  Ansocicilcs 
(\)ncerning  a  (]uestiou  about  his  associates,  Mr.  Fox  revealcil 
that  he  had  never  been  in  close  contact  with  the  President  him- 
self, but  with  most  of  the  other  White  House  aides.  His  superior 
officer  is  Mr.  McCIann,  president  on  le;ive  ol  Detiance  College  and 
a  member  of  Ike's  staff  since  the  Second  World  W:ir.  In  the  casicil 
atmosphere  of  the  dining  mess,  Wr.  Fox  stated  that  he  has  dimier 
e\ery  day  with  such  well-known  personages  as  James  C.  Hag- 
gerty  and  Sherman  .\dains. 

()//  the  hCme 
When  finally  cornered  on  the  issue  most  significant,  that  of 
the  coming  election,  Mr.  Fox  asserted  that  he  sincerely  believed 
that  when  the  jjeople  were  honestly  informed  and  iiroused  tliev 
would  make  the  right  decision  in  No\cinber.  He  |)()inte(l  (luieklv 
to  a  white  jxiint  blotch  on  his  coat  collar  which  be  added  "w;is 
the  result  of  walking  imder  White  House  scaffolding  and  a  more 
than  ade(|u:ite  substitute  for  ;in  '1  Like  Ike'  button." 

Dislinfiid.'ihcd  Sen  ice 
The  First  (Congregational  C^hurch  is  fortunate  to  have  as  an 
interim  minister,  a  distinguished  member  of  the  denomination,  Di. 
Arthur  H.  Bradford.  Following  a  pastorate  of  34  years  as  leader 
of  the  (Jentral  CCongregational  CChurch  in  Providence,  R.  I..  Dr. 
Hr:ulford  retired  in  19.52  and  became  Minister  Emeritus  in  195'1 
Since  then,  he  has  served  churches  in  (,'oncord.  N.  II,  West  New- 
ton, Mass.,  Peterborough,  N.  H.,  Gardner,  Mass.,  and  Welleslev, 
Mass.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  it  was  Dr.  Bradford  who  helped 
ordain  Frederick  Fox  into  die  ministry  in  19-18.  Because  of  ;i 
strong  friendship  between  the  two.  Dr.  Bradford's  coming  here 
was  made  feasible.

Eph  Freshmen  Host 
To  Hermon  Squad 

Saturday,  Oct.  20  -  Led  by  Co- 
captaln  Howie  Patterson,  the  Wil- 
liams var.sity  soccer  team  travels 
to  UConn.  today  In  an  attempt  to 
make  It  three  straight.  Opening 
with  a  4-1  win  against  UMass.,  the 
Chaftecmen  Improved  their  play 
and  their  hustle  to  nip  a  strong 
Harvard  team  last  Wednesday,  3-2, 
in  one  of  the  highlights  of  fall 
athletics  at  Williams.  The  Fresh- 
man team,  with  one  win  already 
under  their  belts,  a  5-3  victory 
over  Hotchkiss,  will  face  Mt.  Her- 
mon at  home. 

Thorns,  Rea,  Frosh  Captains 
Tommy  Thorns  and  Paul  Rea 
have  been  selected  as  team  cap- 
tains, of  what  Coach  Hank  Flynt 
called  a  "well  balanced  team  which 
needs  experience".  Coach  Flynt 
went  on  to  say  that  "the  boys  have 
been  plagued  with  injuries",  but 
except  for  the  obvious  inexperi- 
ence of  the  Frosh  goalie,  the  squad 
really  did  not  look  bad  against 
the  Blue  and  White.  Clyde  Buck 
led  the  scoring  with  thi'ee  goals, 
and  Heyward  Hamilton  and  Toby 
Smith  also  netted  one  apiece  to 
close  out  the  Eph  field-day. 

The    probable    starting    line-up 

will   see    Smith    at   left    outside, 

Hamilton  at   left  inside.  Buck  at 

center  forward,  Parker  Troost  at 

right  inside  and  Jim  Maas  at  right 

outside   closing    out   the    forward 

line.  Left  to   right  the  Ephs  will 

start  Al  Spencer,  Tom  Tierney  and 

Tommy  Thoms  at  the  halfbacks 

with  Buzz  Craigie  and  Paul  Rea 

at  the  fullbacks.  In  the  nets  will 

be  Kent  Gillett,  replacing  the  in- 

j  jured  Be  DeMallle,  who  unfortun- 

:  ately  is  lost  to  the  team  for  the 

j  rest  of  the  season  due  to  a  back 

'  strain.  Others   to  see  action   will 

be   Bill   Harsch,   Bill   Ahn,    John

DU's,  Mohawks,  Saints 
Lead  Tennis  Tourney 


By  Jim  Robinson 

Saturday,  Oct.  20  -  As  the  intra- 
mural football  program  nears  the 
halfway  maik.  Beta  and  Zeta  Psl 
lead  the  Monday-Wednesday  sec- 
tion with  5-0  records,  and  AD  has 
the  sole  leadership  in  the  Tuesday- 
Thursday  group  with  a  4-0  record. 

Competition  is  still  very  tight 
and  many  teams  Including  Chi 
Psi.  Phi  Gam  and  DU  are  only  one 
game  behind  the  leaders.  The 
freshman  teams,  Mohawk,  Berk- 
shire, Hoosac  and  Taconic  have 
put  up  stiff  competition  for  the 
house  squads  and  are  very  close 
in  their  own  competition  for  the 
frosh  title. 

Tennis  Underway 

Termis  has  entered  into  the  pic- 
ture as  matches  are  well  underway. 
In  the  matches  played  so  far,  the 
Saints,  DU's  and  Mohawks  have 
reached  the  quarter  finals.  Only 
one  first  round  match  has  not 
been  played.  Victories  have  been 
achieved  by  Mohawk  who  beat  Psi 
U,  Theta  Delt  ousted  Beta,  Saints 
over  Sig  Phi,  Berkshire  over  Zete, 
DU  bested  Phi  Delt  and  Phi  Gam 
won  from  Phi  Sig. 

Two  singles  and  one  doubles 
match  are  played  in  this  competi- 
tion and  the  winner  must  take  two 
out  of  three  sets.  In  the  final 
matches  three  out  of  five  sets  will 
be  required  for  the  championship. 
Matches  to  be  played  this  week 
include  AD-Theta  Delt,  Berkshire- 
Taconic,  KA-Delta  Phi  and  Chi 
Psi-Greylock. 

D.  V.  Defending  Champs 

Up  to  now  D.U.  is  in  a  position 
to  retain  the  overall  title  it  won 
last  year  as  it  is  in  second  place 
in  the  football  league  and  is  un- 
defeated in  tennis.  Taconic  and 
Mohawk  are  in  a  good  position  to 
take  the  early  lead  in  the  fresh- 
man competition.

By  diet  Lasell 

Wednesday,  Oct.  17  -  The  Williams  soccer  team  outplayed 
visiting  Harvard  on  Cole  Field  this  afternoon  to  take  a  close  3-2 
decision  in  one  of  its  bigj^est  j^ames  of  the  year.  I3y  hoklinj;  off  the 
Crimson  durin)^  the  thrill-packed  final  10  minutes,  the  l^urple  squad 
j^ained  its  second  win  of  the  season  and  the  first  decision  over  Har- 
vard since  1952.  Although  Williams  was  J^uilty  of  defensive  lapses 
and  i^layed  slojjpily  on  occasion,  a  determined  team  effort  kept 
steady  pressure  on  the  visitors'  goal  throughout  most  of  the  contest. 

The  hustling  of  the  home  team  almost  paid  off  in  the  oijening 
quarter  as  outside  left  Dave  Kimball  barely  missed  the  goal  twice 
on  fine  passes  from  co-captain  and  center  forward  Howie  Patter- 
son. While  the  line  was  setting  up  the  plays,  the  booming  kicks  of 
fullback  Don  Lmn  and  center  haltljack  Kern  Bawden  consistently 
broke  up  the  Crimson  attack. 

Bawden  Scores 

The  Purple  attack  slowed  down  in  the  first  halt  of  the  second 
period  and  it  took  a  penalty  kick  to  gi\e  the  home  team  a  1-0  lead. 
.Mike  Baring-Gould  was  tri]5ped  inside  the  ])enalty  zone  on  a  break- 
away and  Bawden  fired  the  free  kick  past  Harvard  goalie  Elliott 
Finkelstein  at  17;  15.  At  21  minutes  however,  the  score  was  tied 
again  as  Ken  Mcintosh  took  adxantage  of  a  Williams  defensive 
error  and  shpped  the  ball  behind  the  jirone  body  of  netminder 
Jock  Pincell  into  the  right  corner. 

Har\ard  went  into  the  lead  at  18;  15  of  the  third  tjuarter  as 
Gordon  Shue  picked  the  ball  from  a  melee  in  front  of  the  goal 
and  booted  it  in.  Williams  came  right  back  to  e\en  the  score  less 
than  a  minute  later  when  Dick  Wepp  headed  the  ball  in  on  a  ])ass

Once  tipon  a  time  there  was  a  snazzy  squab  named 
Cleopatra  living  in  Egypt.  She  came  from  a  very  good 
family  and  had  a  figure  like  a  million  bucks. 

One  day  she  met  Juliua  Caesar,  who  was  Roamin'  Egypt 
on  a  very  liberal  expense  account. 


So  she  went  for  the  ftiH  coimt  at  a  high-priced  beauty 
saloon  and  bought  several  quarts  of  Midnight  on  the 
Pyramids. 

But  Caesar  wasn't  buying  the  pitch.  "Hmmm,"  thinka 
Cleo,  "I'll  finesse  the  Queenship  with  my  ace." 

■Whereupon  she  saimtered  in  with  several  tankards  of  the 
fine  beer  that  Egyptians  had  been  brewing  for  thousands 
of  years.  (Let's  face  it — ^here  comes  the  commerciaL) 
"By  Jupiter,"  said  Julie,  "tliis  is  gocdl  Such  clear,  spar- 
kling brilliance!  Such  refreshing  flavor!  Such  creamy  foami 
Be  mine  ...  be  Queen  .  . .  but  above  all  be  generous  with 
this  delightful  brew!  Wherever  did  you  learn  to  make  it?" 

"Why  . . .  my  mummy  taught  me,"  she  answered  coyly, 
passing  him  a  pretzel. 

And  from  then  on,  Cleo  clung  to  Caesar;  even  in  Rome 
where  she  heard  a  sootlisayer  mutter  somethini;  about 
the  Ides  of  Meirch. 

"Ah,  the  Ides  of  March,"  exclaimed  Cleo,  "that's  Bock 
Beer  time  in  Egypt." 


"Ah  ha,"  thinks  Cleo,  "here  is  where  I  create  about  six 
pages  for  The  Decline  and  Fall  of  the  Roman  Empire.  When 
I'm  through  with  this  boy,  I'U  be  Queen  of  Egypt  and 
he'll  be  selling  his  memoirs  in  drugstores  for  two-bits 
a  copy." 


Not  long  after,  Caesar  got 
rubbed  out,  and  Cleo  got 
herself  back  to  Egypt  where 
she  carried  on  with  Marc 
Anthony  until  Augustus 
upped  and  fixed  his  wagon. 
Anthony  did  himself  in  and 
Cleo  did  likewise  when  her 
charms  failed  to  awe 
Augustus. 

"I'U  take  a  short  bier,"  said 
Cleo  as  she  lay  dying  from 
the  asp's  sting. 

And  so  ended  the  career  of 
one  of  the  best  salesmen  that 
beer  ever  had. 


moral:  you,  too,  can  make  social  conquests 
with  the  help  of  fine  beer.  Treat  a  friend 
to  a  bottle  of  Budweiser.  And  {unless  he's  a 
tightwad)  he's  sure  to  return  the  compliment. 


Winning    Goal 

The  heated  play  finally  resulted 
in  another  penalty  kick  for  the 
Ephs  and  once  again  Bawden 
scored  with  a  picture  .shot  into  the 
right  coi-ner.  This  proved  to  be 
the  winning  margin  as  Harvard 
was  unable  to  pierce  the  Williams 
defense  in  the  remaining  minutes.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  SATURDAY,  OCTOBER  20,  1950 


Pittsfield  Voting  Survey  Reveals      Purple  Key  .  .  . 
Kennedy  Desirable  Over  Estes 
As  Democratic  Veep  Candidate 


Sahirday,  Oct.  20  -  The  Dciiiotrats  iiuule  a  bie  mistake  in 
not  nominating  Massacliiisctt.s  Senator  |olin  Kcnncov  for  vicc- 
presidfiit,  atcoiding  to  the  Williams  College  siiixex'  ol  voting 
liabits  in  nearby  Pittsfield.  The  poll  sliow.s  that  the  selection  oi 
Kennedy  could  have  reversed  the  13'/  lead  which  President  Eisen- 
hower now  holds  over  .Vdlai  Ste\enson. 

The  Pittsfield  Project,  a  stndv  in  political  behavior  conducted 
by  Williams  |)ersoimel  in  1952  and  1954,  was  continued  this  vear 
wth  a  grant  of  .$9,885  from  the  Eord  Foundation  as  a  public  af- 
fairs ])roject.  The  earlier  studies  were  financed  by  grants  from 
Williams.  Philip  K.  Hastings,  assistant  professor  of  psvcbologv,  is 
directing  the  entire  sur\ev.  The  two-week  project  was  cairled 
out  the  second  and  third  weeks  of  September.  The  third  sur\ev  is 
slated  for  mid-October  and  late-October  while  the  final  one  will 
be  a  post-election  study. 

Voting  Trends 

When  asked  for  which  candidate  they  would  xote  if  the 
elections  were  held  today,  49'/  were  for  Eisenhower,  with  4!f  un- 
decided but  leaning  toward  him.  Steseiison  had  the  support  of 
38%  with  2%  unsure  but  faNoring  the  Democratic  standard  bearer. 
This  left  1%  who  said  they  did  not  know.  Of  those  voting  for  Ike, 
if  someone  other  than  Kcfau\er  had  been  chosen  \eep  candidate, 
6%  said  they  would  lia\e  and  1%  stated  they  might  ha\e  voted  for 
Stevenson.  This  groujj  of  13!?  was  then  asked  if  it  would  lia\e  Noted 
for  Stevenson  if  Kennedv  were  the  \ice-presidential  choici-  and 
the  reaction  was  100'?  affirmative.  Thus,  replacing  Kefau\er  with 
Kennedy,  the  53'f  |)robal)le  for  Eisenhower  antl  the  40!?  likelv  for 
Ste\'enson  would  ha\e  been  reversed. 

StcN'enson  has  picked  up  sup])ort  since  the  first  survey  was 
conducted  in  |une  and  [ulv  uhen  checks  showed  that  63'/  were 
for  Ike  with  29!?  for  Stevenson  and  8'/?  imdecided.  Once  the  nomi- 
nations were  over  and  Adiai  was  the  Democratic  choice,  Eisen- 
hower grossed  .5.3!f,  Stevenson  40!?  with  7'/  that  did  not  know.  In 
1952,  Ike  had  44!S,  Stevenson  36'/  and  20'/  were  unsure. 
Nixon  I  'npopuhr 

The  Pittsfield  voters  were  (|uite  one-sided  with  respect  to 
Vice-President  Nixon.  In  answer  to  the  question:  "If  for  some 
reason  Nixon  became  the  Republican  Presidential  candidate  this 
fall  and  ran  against  Adlai,  which  man  do  vou  think  now  you  would 
vote  for?"  Only  3.3!<!  were  for  Nixon  with  another  4'/  jirobably  for 
him,  while  Stevenson  was  gi\en  a  big  52!?  with  5!f  jjrobablc  and 
6%  who  did  not  know. 

When  asked  to  select  fiom  fi\c  topics  the  most  serious  prob- 
lems facing  the  U.  S.  today,  the  respondent  listed  them  in  the 
following  order  of  importance:  The  thieat  of  all-out  war,  .34'/; 
the  way  things  are  going  between  Russia  and  the  U.  S.,  30'/;  the 
high  cost  of  living,  22!?;  labor  i>roblems,  7'/;  and  corru]5ti()n  in  the 
government,  2%. 

Health,  Civil  Ri<j,hts 

On  Civil  Rights,  65!f  of  the  \oters  cheeked  thought  it  would 
certainly  be  a  very  important  issue  in  the  coming  election.  When 
asked  which  party's  statement  they  liked  better,  22'/  said  neither, 
that  both  were  indefinite,  hedged,  and  a  play  on  words,  while 
26!?  said  the  statements  were  about  e(|ual  or  there  is  no  actual 
difference. 

The  question  of  Ike's  health  does  not  seem  to  bother  the 
voters.  37!?  apijrovcd  of  his  running  for  another  term,  27?  dis- 
approved, and  33!?  said  it  did  not  matter.  Those  who  approved  felt 
that  the  decision  is  up  to  Eisenhower— he  knows  what  he  is  doing- 
he  could  live  for  years— and  his  health  is  not  im])aired  much. 
Those  who  did  not  approve  warned  that  Ike  would  i^robably  die- 
looks  bad— is  a  sick  man  and  should  not  run- it  would  mean  Nixon 
would  be  elected  too  and  1  do  not  like  Nixon.

Juniors  Take  Over 

In  order  to  give  the  present  Pur- 
ple Key  Society  members  some  idea 
of  their  immediate  duties  and  ob- 
iectlves  as  designed  by  the  Purple 
Key  committee  last  spring,  the 
committee  of  twelve  seniors  which 
revived  and  reorganized  the  Key 
last  year  stayed  on  with  the  Jun- 
iors and  directed  them  toward  the 
various  goals  that  they  hope  it 
will  fulfill  in  the  future.  As  a  re- 
sult of  the  elections,  the  Juniors 
will  now  take  on  all  responsibilities 
and  functions,  and  with  the  ex- 
ception of  four  chosen  senior  ad- 
visors to  aid  and  attend  meetings 
upon  request,  the  committee  has 
withdrawn  from  the  society. 

In  their  inaugurating  activity 
of  the  1956-67  college  year,  the 
Purple  Key  conducted  a  highly 
successful  sale  of  pictured  calen- 
dar engagement  books,  the  pro- 
ceeds from  which  will  be  used  to 
establish  the  basic  operational 
fund  of  this  new  campus  service 
group.

hope  in  private  investment  "un- 
realistic" and  failed  to  address  in 
detail  the  thought  of  United  Na-

as  to  the  actual  benefits  evolving 
from  this  rather  intangible  inter- 
pretation, to  which  he  cited  the 
example  of  southern  Italy,  where 
he  had  worked,  which  seems  to  be 
gravitating  towards  democratic 
institutions  after  merely  having  its 
standard  of  living  raised.

B  ided  that  the  new  Honors  Semi 


n  r  program  created  many  unpre- 
t  Jented  scheduling  problems  for 
Iv  r  staff  during  the  summer. 

Popular  Courses 

The  honor  of  being  the  most 
I'opular  course  in  school  goes  to 
I'ligllsh  1,  with  25B  subscribers.  A 
t  ital  of  658  students  are  registered 
111  all  the  various  English  courses, 
far  outdoing  every  other  depart- 
ment. 

Among  the  most  popular  cour.ses 
uulside  of  those  lequired  in  the 
major  is  English  7,  a  study  of  pre- 
fivU  War  American  literature.  Tlie 
most  popular  major  was  English 
with  42  seniors  enrolled.  Other 
pcipular  majors  were  economics. 
political  science  and  history.  On 
the  other  end  of  the  scale,  the 
Latin,  Greek,  German  and  Spanish 
Departments  each  have  only  one 
senior  signed  up  for  the  major. 

Other    Top    Courses 

Among  other  top  cour.ses  were 
Economics  1,  with  214,  and  History 
1  and  la,  with  209.  Comparing  the 
whole  departments,  the  situation 
is  reversed,  with  521  taking  history 
courses  and  405  taking  Economics. 

In  courses  outside  of  the  major 
.sequence.  Economics  7  ranks  high 
with  62  men,  while  History  9a  and 
Political  Science  11  follow  with  41 
and  38,  respectively.  Psychology  1 
has  69  Ephs  registered. 

The  success  of  the  new  Honors 
Seminar  program  is  shown  In  the 
total  of  52  signed  up  in  all  depart- 
ments. The  combination  of  Ameri- 
can History  and  Literature  and 
History  SlOl  Is  the  most  popular

Meeting  Monday 

Jim  Mabie  Reports  On 
Baxter   Hall   Activities 


Winning    Team 

A  preliminary  report  on  the  pro- 
gress of  the  drive  will  be  mailed  to 
all  alumni  by  Secretary  Hall  in 
mid-November.  This  will  be  the 
first  official  communication  since 
the  drive  opened  Oct.  C,  with  a 
meeting  of  45  cla.ss  agents  in  Wil- 
liamstown.  The  drive  closes  Jan.  31, 
1957. 

Commenting  on  the  effect  of  the 
winning  football  team  on  alumni 
purse-strings.  Secretary  Hall  said, 
'I  think  it  makes  the  alumni  feel 
better,  but  I  can't  see  that  it  makes 
any  appreciable  difference  in  their 
contributions." 

All  donations  are  turned  over  to 
the  Trustees  without  restrictions 
and  are  used  to  cover  operating 
expenses.  In  last  years  effort,  the 
class  of  1910  led  In  total  contribu- 
tions, while  the  class  of  1914  had 
the  highest  percentage  of  partici- 
pation. 


Monday,  Oct.  22  -  At  a  short 
and  uneventful  meeting  of  the 
College  Council  this  evening.  Stu- 
dent Union  Committee  Chairman 
Jim  Mabie  presented  a  report  of 
activities  at  Baxter  Hall. 

Although  it  has  been  said  that 
the  Student  Union  is  seldom  used, 
Mabie  affirmed  that  almost  every- 
one in  the  college  uses  it  lor  some 
reason,  and  that  his  Committee 
sponsors  many  and  varied  activi- 
ties there  during  the  year.  The 
Student  Union  Committee  is  sub- 
divided into  the  entertainment 
committee  and  the  cultural  com- 
mittee to  take  care  of  the  two 
main  kinds  of  activity. 

Culture 

The  cultural  committee  arranges 
art  exhibits  and  the  well-attended 
colloquium  series.  On  off-week- 
ends, free,  "good-quality"  movies 
are  shown  in  the  Rathskeller,  as 
well  as  many  foreign-language 
films  to  supplement  history  and 
language  courses. 

Most  of  the  important  college 
extra-cur:  Icular  activities  use  the 
Student  Union  meeting  rooms,  and 
the  RECORD  and  WMS  have  then- 
main  offici;s  there.  Several  com- 
munity activities  use  the  Student 
Union  during  the  summer  and 
wmter.  Mabie  cited  the  Congre- 
gational Church  conference  held 
in  WiUiamstown  last  fall. 

Entertainment 

The  entertaitunent  committee 
runs  three  all-college  dances,  a 
faculty  dance,  and  several  fresh- 
man dances  and  mixers  in  Baxter 
Hall  throughout  the  year.  Tills 
committee  also  sponsors  pool, 
ping-pong,  and  bilUards  tourna- 
ments for  the  whole  college.  Mabie 
hopes  to  stimulate  more  interest 
in  these  tournaments  this  year. 

As  well  as  serving  1200  meals 
each  day  to  the  freshmen  and  non- 
affiliates,  the  Student  Union  pro- 
vides comfortable  lounges.  Note- 
worthy is  the  non-affiliate  room 
in  the  basement,  which  has  a  pi- 
ano, bar.  phonograph,  and  a  re- 
cord collection  donated  by  the 
parents  of  Dave  Sterling.

Construction  of  Stetson  Library  Nears  Completion; 
Addition  Makes  Room  For  MflOO  New  Volumes 


Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  After  well 
over  a  year  of  hammering,  pneu- 
matic drilling,  and  mortar  mixing, 
construction  of  the  new  addition 
to  the  Stetson  Library  Is  nearly 
completed.  The  project,  designed 
by  the  architectural  firm  of  Cram 
and  Ferguson  and  erected  by  Wil- 
llamstown  contractor,  David  Mc- 
Nab  Deans,  consumed  between 
$450,000  and  $500,000. 

A  great  deal  has  been  accom- 
plished, including  both  renovations 
and  new  features.  In  the  first 
Place,  the  original  size  of  the 
stacks  has  been  doubled.  Theoreti- 
cally there  is  now  space  for  168,000 
more  volumes.  Also  within  the  new 
Georgian  structure  are  thirty- 
three  faculty  offices,  making  a  to- 
tal of  fifty-one  for  the  entire 
building.  Flfty-sIx  new  cubicles 
surround  the  bookshelves,  and  soon 
four  enclosed  "carrolls"  will  be 
available  for  listening  to  phono- 
graph records  and  language  work. 

Utunce  Opens  Next  Week 

There  is  also  room  for  the  Paul 
Whlteman  music  collection,  which 
up  until  now  has  been  stored  In 
the  basement  of  the  Chapel.  The 
bottom  floor  of  the  new  addition 
*111  be  used  to  house  the  Elmo 
Roper  public  opinion  polls,  already 
'or  the  most  part  moved  In. 

Another  welcome  feature  of  the 
Library,  opening  next  week,  Is  the 
Roger  Preston  Boom.  It  will  be  on 


A  view  of  the  new  reading  room  in  tlie  Stetson  Library. 


the  same  floor  as  the  reserved 
reading  room,  and  will  serve  as 
a  lounge  for  smoking  and  a  place 
to  talk  without  disturbing  others 
In  the  reading  rooms. 

Renovated  Lobby 

Most  students  have  noticed  the 
set-up  in  the  lobby  on  the  main 
floor.  The  reserved  reading  shelf 
has  been  moved  upstairs  with  the 
main  desk,  and  two  new  catalogue 
cases  have  been  added.  The  re- 
served reading  room  Itself  has  been 


Impressively  altered,  and  a  new 
ventilation  system  provided  so  that 
smoking  Is  possible.  A  fluorescent 
lighting  plan  is  designed  to  make 
studying  less  tedious. 

According  to  Librarian  Willis 
Wright,  the  next  project  will  be 
to  modernize  the  reference  room 
along  the  same  lines  as  the  re- 
served reading  room.  Also,  with 
the  advent  of  the  College  switch- 
board In  December,  phones  will  be 
installed  In  all  the  faculty  offices. 


Williams  Freshman  Assists  In  Production 
Of  Cinerama's  'Search  for  Shangri-La'; 
Tibetan  Excels  In  All  Indian  Languages 

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  When  Cinerainii's  newest  production 
"Search  for  Shanj;ri-Lii"  makes  its  debut  early  next  year,  it  will  ic- 
present.  in  part,  the  efforts  of  a  Williams  fresliman,  Kesanf^  Tenduf- 
;a.  Kesimj;  was  em|5loyed  in  the  capacity  of  a  tocluiical  adxiser  in 
tlie  inakinii;  of  the  three-dimensional  Lowell  Thomas  presentation. 

Kesan^  is  a  member  ol  Williams'  Freshman  Class  whose  in- 
terestinj;  background  led  him  to  a  close  association  witli  the  Stanlex 
Warner  Cinerama  Production.  Born  in  L.ahsa.  Tibet,  and  now  rc- 
sidinjf  in  Darjeeling,  India,  Kesang  .speaks  fluent  Eiiijiish  learned  at 
an  Eiif^lish  school  in  India.  Me  caine  to  the  United  States  last  year 
and  attended  Phillips  Exeter  Academy  before  coming  to  Williams. 

Lowell  Thoma.'i  Einphn/.s  Krsviif^ 
.\fter  completinj^  his  studies  at  Exeter  last  |une,  Kesanij  con- 
tacted Lowell  Thomas,  an  old  friend  of  the  Tenduf-La  familw  in 
an  attempt  to  find  a  sinnmer  job.  Mr.  Thomas,  familiar  witli  the  ex- 
perience Kesanj;  had  had  workiiig  for  Cinerama  in  India,  employ- 
ed him  to  work  for  Stanley  Warner  Cinerama  Productions. 

Two  year.s  ap)  Kesani;  liad  been  hired  by  f;inerama  as  an  in- 
terpieter  in  India.  .Vfter  a  week  he  became  assistant  director  to 
"do  the  dirty  work",  as  Kesang  puts  it.  This  work,  which  was  on 
location,  differed  from  the  younj^  Tibetan's  job  tliis  summer. 

"A  Sort  of  TccbiucaJ  Admsor" 
Workinf^  at  du'  studio  in  Oyster  Bay,  Lone  Island,  Kesanji 
assumed  the  position  of  "a  sort  of  technical  advisor".  Kesani^'s 
)ackj;round  suited  him  for  the  position,  which  included  adxisins; 
on  customs  and  language  used  in  the  film  besides  "dubbing"  Iris 
\oice  in  different  languages  in  certain  .scenes.  Kesang  can  speak 
Xepalese,  (language  of  Nepal)  Tibetan.  Hindustani,  Urdu,  (lan- 
guage of  Pakistan)  and  Sickemese  (the  language  of  Sickem,  just 
north  of  India). 

Kesang  also  handled  various  transactions  with  other  studios, 
lie  was  the  only  advisor  from  abroad  who  worked  at  the  studio, 
.illhough  a  number  were  employed  to  work  on  location. 

Trdficdti  on  Localioii 
Some  interesting  sidelights  on  the  film  were  mentioned  by 
Kesang.  The  actual  story  deals  with  a  Cinerama  expedition  under 
the  leadership  of  .Vnton  Otto  Lang,  one  of  Hollywood's  .top  di- 
rectors. This  expedition  traxeled  to  the  Far  East  in  search  ol  a 
"Shangri-La".  The  film  catciies  the  exotic  countryside  and  wea\es 
a  story  arounrl  two  G.I's  wlio  follow  tlie  expedition  in  hoi>es  of 
liiiding  this  "Shangri-La",  where  they  would  spend  the  rest  of 
I  heir  lives. 

One  fatality  occurred  during  the  filming  of  ra])ids  on  tlu- 
Indus  River  in  India.  In  photographing  the  raiiids.  a  boat  carry- 
ing eight  members  of  the  expedition  capsi/ed  in  the  treacherous 
waters  which  pro\ed  too  much  for  excn  a  cou]ile  of  experts  in 
".shooting  the  rapids "  from  Colorado.  Seven  of  the  occupants  man- 
aged to  swim  to  safety.  The  one  who  did  not  survi\e  was  James 
Parker,  who  was  from  WiUiamstown.  Parker  portrayed  one  of  the 
G.I's  in  the  film.  His  body  was  never  found. 

Kesotig  Enthusiastic  over  the  Film 
Kesang  had  some  enthusiastic  remarks  to  make  about  the 
film.  He  said,  "Tliis  is  the  best  (liiierama  film  so  far.  The  audience 
will  be  taken  through  many  rather  unknowni  countries  in  order  to 
search  for  a  'Shangri-La'.  The  three-eyed  C^inerama  camera  al- 
lows the  audience  to  feel  they  are  a  i)art  of  the  C^iuerama  ex- 
])editioii." 

He  added  that  the  film  will  be  out  sometime  in  March  of  next 
year.  Asked  to  comment  on  whether  he  saw  any  future  for  him- 
self in  the  movie  industry,  Kesang  replied,  "It  was  just  a  pastime;  1 
intend  to  enter  the  field  of  diplomacy."

Generally  associated  with  the 
History  Department,  this  phrase 
Is  strangely  appropriate  to  the  en- 
tire Billville  community  as  each 
day  moves  closer  to  th^  fateful 
weekend  of  October  27th.  For  on 
that  date  and  tlie  preceding  night 
history  will  record  a  strange  up- 
rising in  a  formerly  quiet  Berk.shiie 
valley.  A  previously  stable  popula- 
tion will  suddenly  swell  with  fe- 
male masses.  College  students  will 
leave  their  books  at  the  first  roll 
of  Cozy  Cole's  drums  to  answer  the 
call  to  arms.  And  the  men  of  Wil- 
liams will  unite  to  celebrate  the 
first  houseparty  of  the  year. 

In  addition  to  this  general  re- 
volutionary spirit  generated  by 
book-weary  scholars  finally  set 
free,  there  will  be  a  more  serious 
note  of  reform  to  this  hou.separly.

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  A  column 
on  domestic  and  foreign  affairs  is- 
sues in  the  1956  Presidential  cam- 
paign, written  by  Professor  Philip 
K.  Hastings  of  the  Williams  P.sy- 
chology  Department,  will  appear 
today  in  fifty-five  newspapers 
across  the  nation.  The  column  is 
one  of  three,  each  on  different 
topics,  written  by  three  consul- 
tants who  have  been  working  with 
Elmo  Roper  since  last  spring. 

The  National  Newspaper  Syndi- 
cate, including  the  Boston  "Globe", 
will  carry  the  article.  It  is  quite 
possible  that  the  "Berkshire 
Eagle",  though  not  a  member  of 
the  syndicate,  will  print  Mr. 
Hastings'  column  either  today  or 
Thursday. 

Professor  Hastings  and  Profes-

conducting  an  opinion  poll  in

Record  Pierces  ''Shower  Curtain' 
To  Reveal  ''Life  in  Barracks 


bij  Muck  UusaU'r 

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  With  lioiisepaitv  looming  l)rilliantl\'  in 
the  near  future  for  most  Williams  men,  thni'  ii'inaiiis  a  Miiall  mi-

families.  These  are  tlic  married  Kphnicn  who  inliahit  witli  their 
wives  that  area  known  as  the  "l)arracks".  To  the  inajoritv  of  the 
student  body  this  is  an  unknown,  mysterious,  vet  tMitieini^  renjou 
beyond  their  reach,  [•"or  the  benefit  of  these  wonilerers  I  UK  HK(;- 
ORD  has  pierced  the  "Shower  Curtain"  of  domestication  and  re- 
veals what  lies  beyond  in  the  "barracks". 

Upon  approaching  the  barracks  from  anv  direction  tlu\  ap- 
pear to  be  old  run  down  arniv  barracks.  This  is  wliat  thev  are.  Hut 
the  apartments  themselves  display  a  marked  contrast  and  a  great 
deal  of  originality  in  decoration.  For  instance,  the  interior  of  the 
suite  of  Mr.  &  .\irs  Frederick  Dri.scoll  (Carol  and  Hick),  one  of 
the  newlywed  couples,  is  done  entirely  in  "Pink"  from  the  master 
bedroom  to  the  bathroom.  For  whatever  reason  the  Driscolls  may 
liave  chosen  this  color,  it  is  iiuiti'  attracti\e;  antl  C^arol  who  made 
all  her  own  curtains  and  bedspreads  says,  "It's  a  lot  of  fan  deco- 
rating." 

Another  newlywed  couple,  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Harrison  II.  Owen 
(Franny  and  Wedge),  began  decorating  and  painting  in  June. 
Their  only  complaint,  however,  was  the  big  black  kerosene  .stove 
in  the  middle  of  the  living  room.  This  "phenomenal  beast"  as

Does  Uushand  Lose  College  Life? 

Asked  whether  or  not  they  felt  that  they  were  losing  some- 
thing from  college  life,  both  husbands  agreed  that  they  had  no  re- 
grets. Rick,  who  had  gone  with  Carol  since  8th  grade,  said,  "This 
is  more  important  than  other  things."  He  went  on  to  add  that  af- 
ter a  long  seige  in  the  library"  there  is  a  more  cheerful  prospect 
to  go  home  to '  than  last  year  when  he  was  living  in  Beikshire  Hall. 
Wedge  merely  said,  "There  are  disad\antages,  but  they  ha\e  their 
compensations." 

From  the  female  viewpoint,  Carol  says  that  she  "loves  Wil- 
liamstown"  and  feels  that  I^ick  should  be  free  to  do  anything  be 
wants  -  if  she  can  help  him.  In  fact,  she  says,  "Everytime  1-iiek 
gets  a  good  mark  I  feel  as  though  I  did  it!"  In  Wedge's  case  per- 
haps this  is  true  for  he  admits  that  Franny,  who  had  two  years  at 
Holyoke,  has  been  a  big  helji  in  some  of  his  courses. 
Problems  -  Paper  Thin  Walls 

In  reply  to  a  query  about  their  problems.  Wedge  said  )5er- 
hajis  their  biggest  i)rol)lem  was  "noise '  due  to  "paj^cr  thin  walls". 
Rick  elaborated  on  this  lack  of  privacy  by  saying  that  in  their 
fights  (Carol,  of  course,  claimed  they  had  none)  "they  had  to 
consider  the  people  next  door  hearing  the  yelling." 

Rick  has  a  particular  problem  of  his  own  in  that  Carol  graduated 
from  Junior  College  with  a  Home  Economics  major.  And  since 
then  she  has  been  trying  to  indoctrinate  her  yoimg  spouse  to  the

AS  I  SEE  IT 

htj  Stei^e  Rose 

During  these  crisp  fall  weeks  members  of  the  Junior  class  file 
into  the  Williams  College  Placement  Biueau.  There  they  are  asked 
what  they  |>lan  to  do  and,  in  a  good  many  cases,  the  students  lists 
a  good  many  possible  occujiations  with  the  feeling  that  ])erha|5s 
he  will  end  up  doing  one  of  these  things.  In  order  to  help  the  mis- 
guided, Kuder  Preference  Tests  are  given.  These  boui-long  af- 
fairs determined  not  what  a  student  can  do,  but  what  be  would  like 
to  do.  The  object  of  all  of  this  is  to  place  futme  Williams  grad- 
uates in  pleasant  positions  where  they  will  remain  well-fed  and 
happy  ever  after. 

During  the  winter  season,  Seniors  will  comb  their  hair  and 
clean  their  finger  nails  in  preparation  for  a  two-month  siege  of 
interviews  with  the  personnel  managers  of  America.  There  will 
be  a  lot  of  weight  placed  upon  personal  appearance.  E.\tra-cur- 
ricular  activities  will  be  helpful.  Perhaps,  in  a  twcntv  nn'nnte  in- 
terview, a  senior  will  be  favorably  impressetl.  If  the  feeling  is  mu- 
tual he  will  get  a  business  letter  in  a  few  weeks  telling  him  that 
Chase,  Vicks,  Carborundum,  or  some  other  concern,  cordially 
desires  his  services  for  the  ne.\t  forty  years  or  so.  This  may  seeiii 
a  frivolous  description,  but  it  does  point  up  a  serious  situation 
which  prevails  at  Williams;  namely  the  lack  of  true  direction  on 
students'  parts  as  they  lea\e  the  contemplative  existence  of  col- 
lege for  the  active  life  of  the  world. 

At  Williams  too  many  students  ask  themselves,  "What  do  1 
want  to  do?"  without  first  asking,  "What  arc  my  aims  in  life?" 
There  is  a  good  deal  of  difference  between  these  two  <|uestions. 
Unfortimately  not  enough  students  ask  themselves  the  latter  (|ues- 
tion.  This  brings  us  to  the  rather  sorry  possibility  that  a  student 
might  unthinkingly  go  into  the  advertising  business,  for  example, 
without  ha\ing  first  weighed  the  values  which  that  (irofession 
holds.  Students  at  Williams  have  a  precious  four  years  in  which 
they  can  defermiiu'  their  scale  of  values.  It  would  he  unfortunate 
if,  behind  the  haze  of  honsejiarties  and  connected  distractions, 
there  were  no  .serious  thinking  done.  If  a  student  elects  to  go  into 
a  profession  dedicated  to  the  acquisition  of  wealth,  be  should  first 
acknowledge  that  his  prime  focus  in  life  is  material.  Similarly  if  a 
person  decides  to  go  into  a  walk  of  life  dedicated  to  the  service'  of 
others,  he  should  first  make  sure  diat  his  selflessness  is  at  the  top 
of  his  value  scale.  If  a  student  knows  himself  and  what  he  hclieyes 
in,  he  will  rim  much  less  danger  of  becoming  disillusionetl  in  la- 
ter life. 

At  Williams,  the  first  ((uestion  shoidd  not  be.  "What  shall 
it  be,  business,  law,  or  medicine?"  Rather  one  should  ask,  "What

With  these  sentences  die  New  York  "Herald  Tribune"  pre- 
faces the  final  article  of  its  recent  series,  "Are  The  Cluux'hes  hail- 
ing Our  Young  People?"  The  results  of  an  e\tensi\e  poll  ol  almost 
.5(11/0  youths  between  the  ages  of  17  and  22  lead  to  a  sobermg  cou- 
eliision  which  can  best  he  sunnued  up  in  the  (|uote,  "Wi're  not 
prepared  for  life."  Accoriling  to  the  "Tribune"  nmch  ol  this  uu- 
eertainty  about  life  stems  Iroiu  alic'uation  betwei'u  the  (.lunch 
and  .'Vuierican  youth. 

Only  26  per  cent  of  those  inter\iewed  answered  "yes'  to  the 
;|nestion':  "Do  you  feel  that  church  helped  ^■ou  lo  meet  the  pro- 
blems of  adult  life?"  Thus  74  per  cent  are  "making  vital  decisions 
during  this  period  in  their  lives  without  any  feeling  ol  support  Iroin 
their  religion."  The  group  inter\iewed  included  no  college 
dents  "in  order  to  fiicus  the  survey  on  young  ])eople  whc 
already  hatl  to  face  adult  problems." 

Only  one  out  of  three  Protestants  inter\  iewed  attend  church 
"frequently".  One  out  of  eight  Jewish  youths  said  Uiey  went  to 
services  at  their  synagogues  regularly.  Three  out  of  four  Catho- 
lics indicated  consistent  attendance.  "With  few  e.\ce]jtions,  oul 
thu.se  who  go  to  church  regularly  say  they  fei'l  religious,"  accor 
ing  to  the  "Tribune".  One  cx])lanation  advanced  for  this  poor 
record  of  attendcuee  is  that  connniinication  between  church  lea- 
ders and  young  people  is  dilficnlt  and  inefleclixi'.  Oni'  girl  wrote, 
"What  would  I  e\er  sav  to  my  minister."  He's  always  with  older 
peo|)le.  I  don't  think  he  e\en  knows  my  name."  Only  one  out  of 
l(j  of  those  interviewed  felt  that  counsel  they  had  received  Irom 
]iriests,  ministers,  or  rabbis  had  bei'ii  helplul. 

Theii  .See  'I'lw  Need 
Suri^risingly,  the  pollsters  found  the  group  in  almost  complete 
agreement  as  to  the  need  of  a  religious  faith.  'I'lii'  main  reasons 
given  for  this  desire  were  that  religion  offers  "the  advantages  of 
comfort,  |)eace  ol  mind  and  soinelhiiig  to  bi'lieve  in."  Ninety-lour 
])er  cent  said  they  would  send  their  children  to  Sundav  school. 
Tliere  was  an  almost  universal  fc'cling  that  religion  was  a  subject 
worth  discussion.  One  boy  said,  "It  is  an  iin|iortant  subject.  Heli- 
gion  is  something  to  live  by.  not  haul  out  and  examine  at  cluireh 
once  a  year. " 

The  most  popular  churches  were  those  which  do  not  "stick 
strictly  to  religions  services'.  The  coninent  ol  an  18  year  old 
stenographer  exemplities  diis  leeling;  'I  come  Ironi  a  small  eoun- 
tiy  town,  .so  the  first  thing  I  did  when  I  canu'  to  work  in  the  citv 
was  to  become  a  inenilx'r  of  my  neighborhooil  church.  Ive  made 
loads  of  friends  at  church  dances  anil  club  meetings.  It  was  the 
smartest  thing  1  ever  did."  Seven  out  of  ten  interviewed  wanted 
broad  chureli  |)rograins  including  such  leatures  as  "Bible  history 
classes,  sex  education,  lornms  on  other  religious,  church  tlauces, 
parties,  and  sports."  One  dissenter  observed;  "1  never  bother  with 
any  of  the  affairs  at  my  church.  They  only  get  the  dull  ones.  I 
do  better  on  my  own." 

Rclijiious  RecivalP 
These  facts  and  figures  may  seem  a  bit  paradoxical  when  put 
alongside  the  current  "religions  revival"  in  wiiich  nationwide 
church  membership  is  at  a  record  peak  of  over  1(10  inillon.  How- 
ever thev  are  understandable.  The  ch;uices  are  that  iu;mv  of 
America's  young  "doubting  Thomases'  will  come  to  the  told  in 
later  years.  The  prevaleiU  ;ittitude  now,  among  those  in  their  late 
teens  and  early  twenties  is  that  "  'the  old,  old  storv"  Inis  no  prac- 
tical application,  that  being  an  active  church  member  is  'sissilied', 
that  church  is  either  'kid  stuff  or  for  old  ]5coplc"." 

The  "Tribune"  feels  that  jiart  of  the  |>roblein  lies  in  the  tact 
that  young  adults  are  "breaking  parental  bonds  and  striking  out 
on  their  own."  "When  married,  many  a  young  adult  attends  chuieh 
only  if  his  spouse  does  .  .  .  Often  cou|)les  put  off  church  until  thev 
have  children  .  .  .The  arrival  of  children,  the  feeling  of  belonging 
to  a  community  and  the  social  pressure  exerted  by  churcb-goeis  all 
tend  to  bring  young  jieople  back  to  the  church  as  they  ap])roach 
their  thirties." 

A  20  year-old  lays  this  basic  challenge  to  religious  leaders: 
"There's  a  place  and  a  need  for  religious  faith  in  our  lives.  More 
than  ever  before  we  need  a  strong  moral  guide.  But  the  chinches 
aren't  realistic  enough  for  us.  They  need  to  come  down  to  earth 
and  give  us  a  practical  code  for  living." 

Rclii^ion  at  WiUianis 

The  "Tribune"  repoil  ikjscs  a  .serious  problem.  Although  die 
opinions  voiced  were  not  those  of  college  students  diey  represent 
a  reasonably  accurate  description  of  the  normal  Williams  attitude 
towards  the  church.  The  fundamental  ((ucstioii  is  this;  What  does 
religion  have  to  say  to  the  young  American  as  he  steps  into  life? 
The  ])r()blem  of  how  to  ajjply  the  Gospels  to  this  modern  d;iy  is 
one  which  has  been  plaguing  prominent  present-day  theologians 
like  Reinhold  Neibuhr  for  many  years.  It  would  indeed  be  a  sorry 
situation  if  religion  failed  to  offer  ways  to  v  iew  all  asjiects  of  life. 
If  Williams  did  not  feel  diat  religion  .speaks  to  die  young  adult, 
the  employment  of  a  college  chaplain,  who  is  an  advisor  as  well 
as  educator,  would  be  an  ein|)ty  act. 

In  a  succeeding  article,  the  RE(X)RD  will  continue  to  in- 
vestigate the  position  of  leligion  in  relation  to  young  .Vmericans. 
The  primary  focus  will  be  on  Williams  (College.  The  College  (Chap- 
lain, among  odiers,  will  be  called  n|50u  to  state  what  he  believes  to 
be  the  puriio.se  of  religion  at  Williams.  Students  will  be  asked  to 
air  dieir  views.  Only  by  constant  ([uestioning  and  review  can  ideas 
and  institutions  broaden  and  grow.  ,\iid  so  religion  at  Williams 
conies  into  the  s])otlight.  It  is  hoped  that  such  a  study  will  lead  to 
a  clarification  of  the  nature  and  relationship  to  college.  Such  a 
<|iiestion  warrants  serious  thought.

For  our  first  le.ssnn  in  lanKiinfre,  let  us  take  up 
French,  which  has  often  been  called  the  tinyua  franca 
of  Krance.  We  will  approach  French  in  a  new  manner, 
because,  to  be  brutally  frank,  the  way  it  is  taught  in  our 
colleges  is  archaic  and  obsolete.  Why  all  this  emphasis 
on  grammar'.'  After  all,  when  we  gel  to  France  does  it 
matter  if  we  can  parse  and  coiijiiifate?    Of  cour.se  not! 

So  for  the  first  exerci.se,  translate  the  following  real, 
tnie-to-li  fe  dialogue  between  two  real,  true-to-life  French- 
men named  Claude  (pronounced  CVo/(f/ 1  and  Pierre  (also 
pronounced  Clalid)  : 

CLAUDE:  Good  morning,  sir.  Can  you  direct  me  to 
the  nearest  monk? 

PIERRE:  I  have  regret,  but  I  am  a  stranger  here 
myself. 

CLAUDE:  I.s  it  that  yon  come  from  the  France? 
PIERRE:  You  have  right. 

CLAUDE:  I  also.  (!ome,  let  as  mount  the  airplane 
and  return  ourselves  to  the  Franco. 

PIERRE:  We  must  defend  from  smoking  until  the 
airplane  raises  itself. 

CLAUDE:  Ah.  now  it  has  lai.sed  itself.  Will  you  have 
a  Philippe  Maurice? 

PIERRE:  Mercy. 

CLAUDE:  In  the  garden  of  my  aunt  it  makes  warm 
in  the  summer  and  cold  in  the  winter. 

PIERRE:  What  a  coincidence.  In  the  garden  of  my 
aunt  too! 

CLAUDE:  Ah,  we  a.re  landing.  Regard  how  the  air- 
plane dcpre.s.ses  itself. 

PIERRE:  What  shall  you  do  in  the  France? 

CLAUDE:  I  shall  make  a  promenade  and  .see  variou.s 
sight.s  of  cultural  and  hi.storical  significance.  What  .shall 
you  do? 

PIERRE:  I  think  I  shall  try  to  pick  up  the  stewardes.t.

Saturday.  Oct.  20  -  Freshman 
:, '.luetics  suffered  a  rouBli  week- 
nid  as  both  the  .soccer  and  cros.s- 
lountry  teams  met  defeat.  The 
Deerfield  Harriers  triumphed.  18- 
:v.(.  while  Mt.  Hermon',s  booter.s 
A'ored  a  3-0  victory. 

Both  Mt.  Hermon's  second  peri- 
od scores  came  on  scrambles  In 
(rant  of  the  goal.  Th:'ir  final  tally 
lame  on  a  long  boot  from  the

Storrs.  Conn..  Oct.  20  -  The 
Williams  varsity  soccer  team  edged 
the  University  of  Connecticut,  2-1, 
this  afternoon,  for  the  Ephs  third 
straight  victory  of  the  .season. 
Trailing  1-0  at  halftimc.  ihe  Ephs 
.scored  twice  in  the  third  period 
for  the  victory  margin  in  the 
sloppily  played  game.  The  Ephmen 
were  definitely  not  as  sharp  as  in 
their  two  previous  games,  probably 
suffering  a  natural  let-down  after 
the  fine  victory  over  Harvard. 

The  fired-up  U.  of  Conn,  team 
dominated  play  thioughout  the 
first  half  and  almost  ran  the  Eph- 
men into  the  ground.  The  Huskie.' 
missed  .several  scoring  opportuni- 
ties due  to  poor  shooting  before 
right  forward  Rickcrt  finally  tal- 
lied in  the  .second  period.  Williams 
came  back  very  strongly  in  the 
third  period,  and  Bruno  Quinson 
scored  on  a  pass  fiom  Mike  Bar- 
ing-Gould to  tie  the  game.  The 
Purple  continued  to  press  the  at- 
tack and  late  in  the  period  Baring- 
Gould  booted  home  the  winning 
goal  on  a  pass  from  co-captain 
Howie  Patterson. 

Lombard  Stars 
Rich  Lombard  played  an  out- 
standing game  at  his  right  iialf- 
back  position  for  Coach  Clarence

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  With  the 
fall  intramural  program  at  the 
lialfway  mark,  the  league  stand- 
mgs  in  touch  football  are  begin- 
ning to  take  definite  .shape.  Alpha 
Delta  Phi  continues  to  .set  the  pace 
in  the  Tuesday-Thursday  league, 
while  the  Betas  lead  the  Monday- 
Wednesday  league,  also  with  a 
perfect  mark. 

In  last  week's  action,  the  AD's, 
led  by  the  passing  and  running  of 
Danny  Rorke,  downed  the  Phi 
Gams  and  the  D  Phis  to  maintain 
their  perfect  record.  In  a  show- 
down battle  for  second  place,  the 
defending  champion,  Chi  Psi, 
swamped  the  Phi  Gams.  24-0.  as 
Jim  Patterson  scored  twice.  The 
Chi  Psi's  are  now  alone  in  second 
with  a  5-1  slate,  while  the  Fijis 
are  in  third  with  a  4-2  mark. 

In  the  other  division,  the  DU's 
knocked  the  Zetes  out  of  a  first 
place  tie,  while  the  Betas  con- 
tinued their  winning  streak  by 
stopping  the  Taconics  and  the 
Phi  Sigs.  The  DU's  and  Zetes  are 
now  tied  for  second,  a  game  be- 
hind the  Betas.  The  big  game  this 
week  pits  the  Zetas  against  the 
Betas,  with  a  Zeta  victory  meaning 
a  three  way  tie  for  first.

Monday,  Oct.  22  -  Olympic

Williamstown  today  for  Mel-

Muir  feels  that  the  United

and    Australia    will    provide 
toughest  competition.

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  Unbeaten 
in  its  first  four  contests,  the  Eph 
football  team  now  faces  its  tough- 
est test  of  the  season.  The  winner 
of  this  Saturday's  clash  with  Tufts 
on  Weston  Field  should  emerge  as 
the  top  small-coUeRe  eleven 
New  England.  On  the  strength  of 
their  19-13  upset  win  over  Har- 
vard on  opening  day,  the  veteran 
Jumbo  squad  will  go  into  the  game 
a  slight  favorite. 

Last  week's  13-7  victory  over 
winless  Bowdoin,  in  which  the 
Purple  had  to  come  from  behind 
to  tie  and  win  in  the  last  three 
minutes,  caused  no  little  conster- 
nation in  the  Williams  camp.  Du.= 
to  the  fact  that  Trinity  had  routed 
Bowdoin  and  tire  Ephs  beat  Trin- 
ity. 46-7.  tlie  pre-game  experts 
picked  Williams  to  win  by  a  big 
score.  The  aroused  Polar  Bears 
had  other  ideas,  however,  and  it 
took  two  de.speration  passes  by 
Gary  Higgins  and  Marv  Wein- 
stein to  preserve  their  squad's  un- 
defeated status. 

VVattcrs'  Comments 

Williams'  head  coach  Len  Wat- 
ters was  glad  to  comment  on  the 
srrpMsingly  close  game  as  he  saw 
it  from  the  sidelines.  "It  was  just 
one  of  those  games  in  which  they 
didn't  make  any  mistakes  and  we 
couldn't  do  anything  right,"  he 
stated.  Tlie  fact  that  the  Ephs 
fumbled  14  times  and  had  8  of 
these  recovered  by  Bowdoin  bear.« 
out  at  least  half  of  this  view.  Wat- 
ters also  said  that  Williams  was 
understandably  a  little  over-con- 
fident while  the  home  team,  undei 
long-time  coach  Adam  Walsh,  was 
way  "up"  for  the  game.  "Under 
the  circumstances.  Bowdoin  prob- 
ably would  have  rather  beaten  us 
than  win  the  Maine  Conference." 
he  added. 

When  Walsh  was  finally  reached 
for  an  interview  in  his  Brunswick. 
Maine,  office,  he  acknowledged  the 
fact  that  Williams  was  capable  of 
playing  far  better  football  than  it 
showed  against  his  team.  He  also 
stated  that  unbeaten  Tufts,  who 
defeated  Bowdoin  earlier  in  the 
year,  26-0.  "has  a  very  fine  team 
with  plenty  of  size  and  speed". 
Walsh  was  quick  to  add,  however, 
that  the  Ephs  were  big  and  fast 
also,  although  "Williams  is  may- 
be not  as  fast  in  the  backfield". 

Even    Ball    Game 

Coach  Watters  expects  the 
Bowdoin  scare  in  which  "for  56 
minutes  we  looked  like  duds  and 
for  4  we  looked  like  pros"  will  help 
against  Tufts.  He  is  looking  for  a 
very  tight  game.  "We  will  move  the 
ball  and  will  just  have  to  stop 
them,  that's  all.  Anyhow,  we'll 
have  to  be  at  our  best  to  stay  with 
them,"  he  stated.

the  clutch,  the  Ephs  came  charg- 
ing from  behind  to  score  two 
touchdowns  in  the  last  three  min- 
utes of  play  to  preserve  their  un- 
defeated streak  at  four  in  a  row. 

In  addition,  the  Purple  demon- 
strated that  it  can  play  heads-up, 
smart  football  when  the  chips  are 
down.  Thus.  Williams  passed  its 
stiffest  test  to  date  with  flying 
colors,  receiving  their  baptism  of 
the  fire  of  tense,  tough  football. 
This  promises  to  set  them  up  in 
tip-top  psychological  .shape  for 
Saturday's  vital  battle  with  Tufts. 

Late    Surge 

Held  scoreless  for  57  frustrat- 
ing minutes  and  trailing,  7-0,  the 
Ephs  suddenly  struck  with  light- 
ning-like precision.  From  his  own 
40  quarterback  Tom  Higgins  flip- 
ped a  flat  pass  to  end  Norm  Wal- 
ker who,  sprung  loose  with  a  key 
block  by  Rich  Kagan,  stormed  all 
the  way  to  the  Bowdoin  15.  On  the 
next  play  Higgins  again  hit  Wal- 
ker, this  time  in  the  end  zone,  A-ith 
a  beautiful  pass  and  Williams  had 
broken  its  scoring  famine. 

With  the  clock  showing  2:30  re- 
maining Norm  Cram  calmly  tied 
the  game  with  a  perfect  conversion 
boot. 

Bowdoin,  gamely  fighting  down 
to  the  wire,  elected  not  to  run  out 
the  clock  and  settle  for  a  tie, 
which  they  conceivably  could  have 
done  easily,  but  instead  took  to 
the  air  after  the  kickoff  in  an  all- 
out  attempt  to  score  again.  It  was 
at  this  juncture  that  the  Ephs 
showed  heads-up  ball-playing. 
Saving  most  of  their  timeouts  for 
just  such  an  emergency,  they  used 
them  here  to  stop  the  clock  at 
several  crucial  points. 

Decisive   Blocked   Kick 

With  barely  45  seconds  left,  the 
hard-charging  Eph  line,  which 
gave  its  most  outstanding  perfor- 
mance of  the  season  In  the  sec- 
ond half  today,  partially  blocked  a 
fourth-down  Bowdoin  punt.  The 
ball  was  deflected  to  Marv  Wein- 
stein. short  man  in  the  punt-re- 
ceiving formation,  who  scampered 
23  .yards  to  the  Bowdoin  17. 

With  no  timeouts  remaining  and 
the  clock  running,  the  quick- 
thinking  Purple,  wisely  calling  Its 
offensive  play  while  on  defense 
just  before  the  punt,  immediately 
lined  up  without  a  huddle  and 
caught  Bowdoin  by  surprise.  Wein- 
stein promptly  passed  to  Kagan 
on  the  10  and  the  big  end.  who 
was  obviously  the  Ephs'  outstand- 
ing star  both  offensively  and  de- 
fensively today,  cleverly  eluded  a 
tackier  on  the  two  and  plunged 
into  the  end  zone.  Tliere  were  all 
of  20  seconds  remaining  in  the 
game  when  Kagan  iced  the  verdict. 

Brilliant    Defensive    Play 

Much  of  the  credit  for  the  ex- 
citing win  must  go  to  the  rock- 
ribbed  line  which  held  the  Polar 
Bears  to  a  mere  one-yard  rushing 
and  seven  yards  passing  during 
the  entire  second  half.  Bowdoin. 
however,  did  manage  to  pretty  well 
dominate  the  first  two  periods. 

Early  in  the  first  quarter  Bow- 
doin lost  a  sure  touchdown  when  a 
pass  was  dropped  in  our  end  zone. 
Finally  in  the  second  stanza.  Bow- 
doin's  Brud  Stover  connected  with 
Marty  Levine  from  18  yards  out 
for  the  losers'  only  touchdown  of 
the  day. 

Offensively,  the  winners  were 
certainly  much  better  than  the

Junius  iuul  the  general  racket  of  Cozy  Clole  ami  liis  ilriiiiis,  the

Rcvoliitioiiiin/  Perfume 

The  reason  for  this  seranihle  will  he  that  the  first  lunidred 
and  fiftv  females  to  arri\e  at  the  tlance  will  receivi'  free  sam|)les 
of  Prince  Maehiavclli  ijerfume.  This  offer  is  new  at  Williams  and 
represents  another  innovation  at  the  honsepartv  revolution. 

Once  the  couples  are  inside  and  the  odor  of  perfume  has

the  other  hand,  Cozy,  "whose  heart  was  with  ijercnssiou  from  tin

Friday  night.  , 

Phinnet/'s  Five 

After  this  fine  bevy  of  entertainment  Epbmen  and  their  dates 
will  be  left  to  find  further  forms  of  entertainment  on  their  own. 
Not  until  the  next  night,  after  cross  country,  soccer  and  football 
games,  will  the  Jazz  Concert  be  held  in  ChajDin  Hall. 

The  wait  will  be  well  worth  it,  though,  for  Ilerf)  Varnum, 
houseparty  general  chairman,  has  lined  up  one  of  the  most  im- 
pressive Jazz  programs  e\er  to  hit  Billville.  Although  this  is  the 
first  such  concert  without  the  Spring  Street  Stompers  for  several 
years,  Phinney's  Favorite  Five  have  continually  shown  themselves 
capable  of  filling  the  shoes  of  their  predecessors.  All  that  remains 
is  for  them  to  make  Old  Chapin  quake  on  its  foundations  as  it  has 
done  so  many  times  before. 

Yale  Group 

Obtained  at  the  last  minute  to  aid  "the  Five"  were  "Eli's 
Chosen  Six".  This  well  known  jazz  group  from  Yale  has  played  at 
Basin  St.,  Eddie  Condon's  and  in  Bermuda.  Later  this  year  they 
plan  to  make  a  trip  to  Africa  under  the  sponsorship  of  Mrs.  F.  D. 
Roosevelt. 

More  jazz  will  be  heard  from  the  "Capitol  District  All-Stars", 
a  lively  group  from  Troy.  Also,  to  add  a  vocal  attraction,  the  Smif- 
fenpooffs  will  sing.  These  ten  girls  from  Smith  have  sinig  at  col- 
lewge  functions  all  over  the  east.  Then,  inspired  by  this  Tageant 
of  Noise",  the  sons  of  Ephriam  and  their  admiring  companions  in 
parties  scattered  around  campus  will  attempt  to  make  this  last 
night  of  houseparty  memorable. 

By  Sunday  the  uprising  will  have  subsided  considerably. 
There  will  be  evidences  here  and  there.  Now  and  then  a  few  last 
sporadic  outbreaks  will  occur.  But  as  the  ancient  wise  men  said, 
"And  these  things  too  shall  pass". 


Bowdoin 


BARRACKS  .  .  . 

proverbial  domestic  arts.  But  all  in  all  life  at  the  barracks  is  peace- 
ful and  serene  compared  perhaps  to  the  freshmen  cpiad. 

Asked  whether  or  not  he  met  Franny  at  a  freshman  mixer 
(which  would  have  made  a  great  story)  Wedge  re|5lied  "no",  he 
had  "just  picked  her  up  at  Holyoke  one  day".  This  was  followed 
by  a  trip  to  Alaska  the  next  summer  and  marriage  the  smiimer  af- 
ter that.  To  further  add  to  this  story-book  romance  he  said  he 
"pinned  her  eight  miles  north  of  the  arctic  circle  in  a  Pij^er  Cub." 
Unfortimately  the  Driscolls  didn't  meet  at  a  mixer  either,  but  just 
sort  of  grew  up  together. 

Lack  of  Frustration  in  SHif/i/iiig 

THE  RECORD  was  curious  as  to  what  effects  marriage  has 
on  study  habits,  if  the  sidiject  feels  distracted  in  any  way.  Quite 
to  the  contrary,  both  jiarties  agreed  that  "studying  is  a  lot  better!" 
For,  it  was  jjointed  out,  "one  is  not  running  off  to  Holyoke  all  the 
time"  nor  is  "one  frustrated  nine  tenths  of  the  time"  as  seems  to 
be  the  plight  of  the  majority  of  Ephmen.  Tliis  woidd  seem  to  con- 
tradict Frued,  but  that's  beyond  this  article. 

Currently  all  apartments  in  the  barracks  are  occupied  with  the 
excejition  of  three,  which  it  is  rumored  are  going  to  be  soon.  To 
date  only  the  Richard  Wildes  have  been  blessetlby  a  visit  from 
the  stork,  but  It  Is  nimored  that 
action  is  also  going  on  in  this  field 
and  two  more  visits  are  expected 
soon.  Apparently  then  all  reports 
would  seem  to  agree  with  Wedge 
Owen  who  prophetically  comment- 
ed, "Marriage  Is  on  the  Rise  I"

.score  Indicates.  The  Ephs  came  up 
with  several  long,  sustained  drives 
but  were  never  quite  able  to  go  all 
the  way  until  It  was  almost  too 
late.  For  example,  the  first  two 
limes  the  Purple  had  possession, 
the  Ephs  penetrated  inside  the 
two  20  but  couldn't  reach  pay- 
dirt. 

Fourteen  Fumbles 

The  big  thorn  In  the  Ephs'  side 
today  was  the  special  defense  de- 
mised by  Bowdoin  coach  Alan 
Walsh.  Rightly  flgurlnK  that  Wil- 
liams would  conservatively  stick  to 
iiralght  running  plays,  he  installed 
a  slssor  eight-man  line  which  en- 
abled crashing  line-backers  to  spill 
the  Eph  quarterback  quite  often 
oefore  he  could  complete  his  hand- 
off.  As  a  result,  the  Purple  was 
charged  with  14  fumbles,  half  of 
which  were  recovered  by  the  Polar 
Bears. 

Since  the  locals  were  moving  the 
ball  well  and  gaining  considerable 
ground  and  would  have  had  little 
trouble  romping  except  for  un- 
timely fumbles,  they  stayed  inside 
and  did  not  throw  a  pass  in  the 
fiist  half.  In  the  final  two  periods, 
the  running  game  was  opened  up 
and  the  effective  passing  attack 
which  ultimately  turned  the  tide 
was  instigated. 

With  the  entire  Tufts  coaching 
staff  plus  a  few  key  players  in  the 
stands,  Williams,  perhaps  looking 
ahead  a  little  prematurely  and 
somewhat  underestimating  the  de- 
termined Polar  Bears,  attempted  to 
play  It  close  to  the  vest  all  the 
way  today.  Just  how  much  the 
Ephs  tipped  their  hand  during  that 
hectic  second  half  remains  for 
Tufts  to  find  out  on  Weston  Field 
Saturday.

Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  W.  C.  Hitchcock,  nianagei-  of  the  Sears 
Roebuck  Company  store  in  Pittsfield,  has  presented  Williams  with 
a  .$1400  check  to  supplement  two  National  Merit  Scholarships 
awarded  to  students  eiuolled  at  Williams  this  yi'ar. 

The  National  Merit  Scholarshi)5s  are  madi'  available  bv  con- 
tributions from  industries  throughout  the  U.S.  Recipients  are  se- 
lected through  nationwide  competition  and  the  .scholarship  funds 
are  sent  to  the  school  of  the  student's  choice. 

Besides  paving  for  tuition  the  National  Merit  Scholarships 
include  an  ailditional  grant  to  take  care  of  the  extra  costs  ol  edu- 
cation because,  in  most  cases  tuition  only  meets  half  the  expense 
of  educating  a  student.

Young  mathematician 

lielps  pace 
engineering  advances 

Recently  General  Electric  developed  a 
compact,  new  motor  for  industrial  use.  But 
before  the  motor  could  he  put  into  automatic 
production,  one  difliculty  remained:  to  de- 
sign a  protective  end  shield  that  would  con- 
line  any  possible  explosion  to  the  motor  itself. 

The  man  who  solved  the  tough  mathemat- 
ical |)rohlems  involved  is  R.  A.  "Pete"  Powell 
—  a  mathematical  analyst  whose  job  is  to  a.s- 
sist  other  engineers  in  math  problems  which 
arise  in  any  number  of  different  projects. 

Powell's  Work  Is  Varied  and  Important 

Because  he  is  not  tied  down  to  any  one 
project,  Powell  seldom  has  two  similar  as- 
signments. Taking  established  engineering 
and  mathematical  principles,  some  of  them 
extremely  complicated.  Powell  applies  them 
to  advanced  engineering  problems.  In  doing 
this.  Fete  is  able  to  make  such  calculations 
as  the  distortion  of  a  small  part  of  a  jet 
engine  caused  by  vibrations,  the  deflection 
occurring  in  a  turbine  part  when  it  runs  at 
operational  speeds,  or  the  forces  exerted 
upon  a  rotating  shaft  by  lubricants. 

27,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 

When  "Pete"  Fow  ell  came  to  General  Elec- 
tric in  195.'i,  he  already  knew  the  kind  of 
work  he  wanted  to  do.  Like  each  of  our 
27,000  college-graduate  employees,  he  is 
being  given  the  chance  to  grow  and  realize 
his  full  potential.  For  General  F.lectric  has 
long  believed  this:  Whenever  fresh  young 
minds  are  given  freedom  to  make  progress, 
everybody  benefits  —  the  individual,  the 
Company,  and  the  country.

four  of  hiii  twelve  touchdowns  on

done  during  the  last  summer  and 
fall  under  the  active  direction  of 
Mr.  Henry  Flynt,  Sr.,  chairman  of 
Uie  Trustees'  Buildings  and

Professor  Howard  Stabler  Favors 
Stevenson  Proposal  On  H-Bomb 


(Reprinted  from  the  l-erkshire  Eagle,  October  24.  19,56) 

It  is  disheartening  to  read  of  President  Eisenhower's  hast\- 
and  intemperate  reply  to  the  Bulganin  letter  concerninj;  the  pro- 
posed hail  on  H-bomh  tests.  While  the  Hiis.sian  note  was  doubt- 
Itfvss  sent  at  this  time  primarily  for  propaganda  purposes,  the  ser- 
imi.sness  of  the  present  arms  race  recpiires  that  we  exjiloit  exciv 
op|)ortunitv  to  push  toward  some  measure  of  reasonable  coiitiol. 

As  a  ))hvsicist  I  can  state  that  the  following  are  indis|intable 
facts. 

1.  There  could  be  no  winner  of  a  general  war  in  which  mega- 
ton nuclear  weapons  are  used.  The  effects  on  mankind  would  be 
general  and  overwhelininglv  disastrous. 

2.  Megaton  explosions  can  be  only  relati\ely  "clean."  There 
will  alwavs  be  "dirtv  fall-out";  in  fact,  it  will  be  strategicalK- 
valuable  to  make  ii.se  of  lethal  radioaeti\e  fall-out  poisoning  to 
achieve  military  purposes. 

3.  A  megaton  test  explosion  can  be  detectetl  ((uicklv  and  with 
certainty  if  it  takes  place  anywhere  on  earth.  It  is  impossible  to 
hide. 

4.  Cessation  of  H-bomb  tests  is  the  one  type  of  arms  limitation 
that  can  be  adequately  controlled  without  area  ins]n'ction.  In  fact, 
even  the  closest  internal  ins))ectiou  would  not  guarantee  that 
violations  of  agreements  of  other  types  could  not  <K'Cur. 

5.  Banning  the  tests  would  interfere  about  equally  with  our 
weapon  development  and  with  Russian  weapon  development.  It 
is  likely  that  both  sides  would  continue  research  and  be  prepared 
to  procure  expeditiously  if  the  agreement  were  violated.

Undefeated  Purple  Eleven  Enters 
Houseparty  Contest  As  Underdog 

liil  CInivk  Dunkel 
Saturday.  Oct.  27  -  'I'wo  powerful  undefeated  elevens  will 
meet  this  alteriiooii  on  Weston  Field  in  a  game  which  will  de- 
termine the  best  small  coll<-gc  team  in  .\ew  Kiigland  this  season. 
Coach  I. en  Waiters'  strong  Williams  squad  will  |)iit  their  4-0 
record,  and  witli  it  their  hopes  tor  a  peri<'et  season,  on  the  line 
against  mighty  Tufts,  iiiibcateii  in  three  starts,  one  a  \ictory  o\er 
Harvard. 

Tliis  is  the  game  which  Williams  has  been  ])oiiiting  towards 

,^all  year,  the  big  test  for  the  Eph- 

men.  the  game  which  will  tell  just 
how  good  thus  1956  team  really  is. 
In  Tufts,  the  Ephs  will  meet  then- 
first  really  good  opponent  of  the 
season,  .since  the  four  straight  vic- 
tories were  gained  against  teams 
of  average  to  poor  strength.  Ti'in- 
ity  was  reputed  to  be  strong,  but 
proved  to  be  over-rated:  Colby  and 
Middlebury  presented  no  problem; 
and  Bowdoin.  a  heavy  underdog, 
almost  upset  the  mighty  Williams 
machine,  with  only  a  sensational 
fourth  quarter  purple  comeback 
averting  defeat. 

Coach  Len  Watters  and  his  very 
capable  coaching  staff  have  been 
working  the  team  hard  in  prac- 
tice all  week,  and  the  Ephmen 
should  definitely  be  ready  and 
"up"  for  this  important  game.  Sen- 
ior halfback  Dick.  Fearon  Is  still 
sidelined  by  the  knee  injury  he 
suffered  In  the  Middlebury  game 
and  will  not  see  service  today.  But 
the  rest  of  the  squad  is  in  good 
shape  and  should  be  ready  to  go. 
The  probable  starting  line-up  for 
today's  game  will  see  Dick  Kagan 
and  Joe  Perrott  or  Norm  Walker 
at  the  ends.  Bill  Hedeman  and 
Karl  Schoeller  at  tackles,  Jim  Ri- 
chardson and  George  Vare  or  Tony 
Volpe  at  guards  and  Hank  Dim- 
lich at  center.  Bob  Appleford  lias 
recovered  from  the  ankle  injury 
which  kept  him  out  of  the  Bowdoin 
game  and  will  be  at  quarterback, 
with  Whitey  Kaufman  and  Gary 
Shortlidge  at  the  halfback  posi- 
tions and  Joel  Potter  at  fullback. 

Second   Team   Ready 

The  other  half  of  WiUiams  po- 
tent offense  and  stalwart  defense, 
the  so-called  "second  platoon", 
is  also  ready  to  see  plenty  of  ac- 
tion. This  club  will  have  Skip  Mar- 
tin and  Tom  Connelly  at  ends. 
Dick  Jackson  and  Bob  Lane  at 
tackles.  Tom  Heekin  and  John 
Pritchard  at  guards.  Bob  Lowden 
at  center.  Gary  Higgins  at  quar- 
terback. Chip  Ide  and  Ted  Sage  at 
the  halfbacks,  and  Matty  Donner 
at  fullback.  To  date,  Joel  Potter 
is  the  leading  ground-gainer  for 
the  Ephmen.  with  288  yards  in  49 
tries  for  a  5.8  yards-per-carry  av- 
erage,  while   Chip   Ide   is   second

Lanin,  Cole  Play 
At  College  Dance 

Favorite  Five  To  Meet 
Chosen    Six    in    Chapin 


By  Mack  Hassler 

Saturday.  Oct.  27  -  After  ap- 
proximately twenty  nine  days  of 
hard  labor  in  the  stacks,  Williams 
men  have  been  granted  a  reprieve. 
Tlie  "Walden"  previewed  it  a  week 
ago,  rumors  have  been  spreading 
ever  since  and  now  there  is  no 
doubt  that  Billville  is  experienc- 
ing "One  Weekend  of  Happiness". 

Pirst  evidences  began  to  appear 
as  early  as  Thursday.  Cla.5ses  the 
next  morning  displayed  a  strange 
reluctance  on  the  part  of  young 
scholars  to  give  their  usual  rapt  at- 
tention. While  after  lunch  rather 
than  pointing  their  steps  eagerly 
towards  the  library.  Ephmen  dash- 
ed off  for  such  unacademic  places 
as  Albany.  Skidmore  or  Smith. 
Needless  to  say  that  the  elusive 
animal  called  Houseparty  had  once 
again  raised  its  horned  head  in 
the  Berkshlres. 

"Beat  Tufts" 
Formal  observance  of  the  ritual 
began  last  night  as  countless 
screaming  enthusiasts  took  their 
torches  in  hand  and  marched  to 
the  front  of  Chapin  Hall.  Prom 
there  they  attempted  to  make  ap- 
parent to  the  Williams  football 
team  and  anyone  else  within  twen- 
ty five  miles  their  desire  as  Fred 
Johnson.  Senior  cheerleader,  so 
aptly  put  it.  to  "Beat  Tufts!". 

After  this  fo:ceful  declamation 
everyone  seemed  to  feel  that  an 
All-College  dance  was  in  order.  As 
promised,  free  samples  of  Prince 
Machiavelli  perfume  were  distri- 
buted to  early  comers,  and  just  to 
avoid  hard  feelings  fifty  more  than 
the  advertised  hundred  and  fifty 
were  given  out. 

All-College  Dance 

Lester  Lanin  and  his  eleven 
piece  band  with  their  smooth,  me- 
lodious dancing  music  lived  up  to 
all  expectations  as  they  played  in 
the  Pi-eshman  Dining  Room. 
Downstairs  a  different  tempo  pre- 
vailed, however,  for  Cozy  Cole, 
always  well  received  by  House- 
party  crowds,  was  doing  "his  stuff" 
on  the  drums. 


Chest  Fund  Receipts 
Fail  To  Total  $6000 


Clokey   Blames    Houses 
For    Small     Donations 


Wednesday,  Oct.  24  -  Richard 
Clokey  '58.  Chairman  of  the  Wil- 
liams College  Chest  Fund  Drive, 
announced  today  that  the  campus 
drive  reached  a  total  of  $4518.80 
In  pledges  and  cash.  Another  $500 
is  expected  in  unretumed  pledges 
which  would  leave  the  Chest  Fund 
with  approximately  $5000.  "Hiis 
total  is  fai'  short  of  the  goal  of 
$6000  and  well  below  last  year's 
contributions  which  totaled  over 
$5200. 

Clokey  said  that  the  Chest  Fund 
will  probably  try  to  find  some  other 
sources  of  revenue  in  the  future 
In  order  to  make  up  the  deficiency 
between  the  amount  received  and 
the  announced  goal.  He  also  added, 
"The  uppercla.vs  contributions  were 
far  below  what  was  expected,  es- 
pecially in  .several  houses,  and  I 
am  very  disappointed  with  these 
houses."

TRUST  THE  PEOPLE 


/  am  not  umon<^  those  who  fear  the  people 

Thotntis  Jefferson 

The  Williams  RECORD  is  pleased  to  print  such  a  tlioughtfui 
discussion  of  the  all-importance  of  disarmament  and  the  hydroi^en 
bomb  as  that  presented  in  Professor  Howard  Stabler's  letter  to  the 
Berkshire  Eagle.  The  RECORD  is  most  distmbed  with  the  hasti- 
ness with  which  President  Eisenhower  dismissed  the  Soviet  pro- 
posal and  is  secondly  distuibed  by  the  hastiness  with  which  so 
many  politicians  demanded  that  the  discussion  of  the  issue  be 
pushed  aside.  Those  who  say  that  this  crucial  issue,  which  may  de- 
termine whether  or  not  civilization  is  to  survive,  should  be  exclud- 
ed from  the  campaign  are  neither  realists  nor  patriots.  They  are 
merely  men  who  distrust  the  peojile.  A  true  democrat  believes 
that  government  should  be  responsible  to  the  people  even,  or  per- 
haps we  should  say  especially,  on  crucial  issues  such  as  these  are. 
It  is  therefore  rather  absurd  for  the  so-called  jiarty  of  "peace  and 
prosjierity"  to  demand  that  specific  issues  involvi'ig  peace  be  ex- 
cluded from  the  campaign  debate. 

Although  this  party  is  unwilling  to  admit  that  its  position  on 
this  issue  is  based  on  a  mistrust  of  the  ijeople,  it  is  alto:<ether  too 
willing  to  capitalize  on  the  exaggerated  fears  this  issue  Ts  capable 
of  producing.  This  is  especially  unfortunate  since  we  should  look 
up  on  this  issue  as  well  as  our  foreign  policy  aims  with  insight  and 
courage.  Those  who  have  discouraged  discussion  on  this  issiie  and 
who  have  attempted  to  maniiiulate  a  quite  natural  skepticism  to- 
wards the  Russians  into  a  monstrously  exaggerated  mania  have 
done  this  nation  a  great  disservice.  There  are  many  alternatives 
on  many  issues  with  which  we  can  work  for  a  more  peaceful  world. 
We  should  discuss  them  all  thoroughly,  and  we  should  discuss 
them  courageously  as  well  as  skejitically. 

Adlai  Stevenson  was  quite  right  when  he  stated:  "It  is  not  e- 
nough  to  throw  up  our  hands  and  say  it's  no  use  to  try  this  or 
that  new  approach." 

If,  as  President  Eisenhower  stated  after  the  Geneva  Confer- 
ence, Russia  is  as  interested  in  peace  as  the  United  States,  then 
conciliation  rather  than  dogmatic  reliance  on  the  fine  points  of  pro- 
tocal  is  in  order.  What  is  needed  is  a  consant  and  sober  re-evalua- 
tion of  the  best  methods  of  moving  towards  peace. 

A  positive  and  workable  solution  will  not  come  overnight 
There  will  be  many  setbacks,  there  will  be  times  when  we  be- 
lieve that  Ru.ssians  are  only  cynically  manipulating  our  gullibility. 
We  must,  nevertheless,  work  towards  the  realization  of  these 
phins.  We  should  keep  ourselves  especially  aware  of  the  undisjjut- 
ed  fact  that  hydrogen  bomb  explosions  cannot  be  concealed.  With 
this  in  mind  we  should  not  be  too  picayune  in  our  demands  for  a 
foolproof  inspection.  At  the  same  time  we  cannot  discount  the 
possibility  of  Russian  stockpiling. 

The  Williams  RECORD  realizes  the  complexities  of  this  issue 
and  feels  that  it  is  important  enough  to  warrent  public  debate  and 
thought.  Moreover,  it  believes  that  there  is  real  promise  for  solu- 
tion, and  in  order  to  find  this  solution  the  people  must  be  con- 
sulted. 


Williams  Sees  Metamorphosis  In  25  Years; 
Depression,  Prohibition  Stymied  Ephs  In  '31 


Stabler  Letter  .  .  . 

6.  Many  nuclear  physicists  closely  associated  with  the  wea- 
pon development  publicfy  support  Mr.  Stevenson's  proposal. 

The  proposal,  far  from  being  "pie  in  the  sky,"  is  a  reasonable 
step  toward  tapering  off  the  ever  mounting  arms  race.  It  would 
win  immediate,  overwhelming  world  support.  This  is  far  more 
valuable  than  any  increase  in  the  devastation  possibilities  of  al- 
ready completely  devastating  weapons.

By  Kearny  Hibbard 
In  recent  years  the  United  States  and  naturally  Vv'illittms  has 
en|oyea  a  higher  standard  of  hvinjj  than  ever  before.  However, 
a  quarter  of  a  century  aj;o  an  entirely  different  story  presented 
icseit,  tor  the  country  was  in  the  midst  of  its  worse  depression, 
i.ow  was  college  lite  at  Williams  affected  during  ttiis  ijeriod:*  AnU 
■n  general,  what  was  Vv'illiains  like  one  generauoii  agoi" 

111  lacii  tne  stiiUents  voied  to  abundon  tae  tall  noiiseparties. 
me  uecisioii  was  reacnea  by  a  unanimous  vote  ot  tlie  titteen  tra- 
iiiuuies  and  the  Conmioiis  Club,  a  non-lrateriiity  organization 
iiiat  was  later  replaced  by  me  Garfield  Club.  Jiecause  an  estimat- 
t'li  ijilU.OOO  would  be  spent  uy  social  groups  over  the  weekend, 
^■uiiege  president  Dr.  Harry  Uartield  suggested  that  the  festivities 
ije  cancelled. 

ihe  depression  also  hampered  the  Glee  Club  and  "Cap  and 
pells  .  The  dee  Club  was  forced  to  cancel  its  trip  through  tlie 
Middle  West;  liowever,  during  spring  vacation  the  group  managed 
to  go  to  bermuda.  "Cap  and  bells  '  had  to  omit  their  annual 
oiuisimas  trip.  Altliougti  tliey  had  been  booked  for  several  en- 
;;^ageiiients,  the  organization  could  not  meet  tlie  cost  for  the  entire 
II  ip.  uii  the  local  scene  tJie  group  presented  "The  Dictator"  at 
V  V  iiuanistown  and  at  Scheneccady.  in  the  spring  they  produced 
j.iaws  "Vou  iNever  Can  lell"  in  conjunction  witli  Skidmore. 
Liovernor  froposes  footbail  Qauie 
llie  depression  was  constantly  luider  surveilance  in  the  edi- 
lonaia  ui  me  KECORU  and  in  lectures  presented  by  authorities 
on  me  suoject.  Governor  Kly  of  Massachusetts  proposed  that  the 
vtiiuuiiis  tootball  team  jJlay  a  |)ost-season  game  witfi  Springfield, 
me  proceeds  ot  which  would  go  to  the  Western  Mass.  Unemploy- 
ment I'und.  Although  tne  college  rejected  the  proposal,  a  portion 
or  tne  Amherst— VV  imams  gate  was  given  to  the  fund. 

ine  country  and  the  college  were  faced  witli  tlie  drawbacks 
of  Prohibition,  because  of  this,  the  houseparties  during  the  period 
were  cahner  tliaii  those  of  today,  according  to  Charlie  Foehl,  a 
member  of  the  Class  of  1932  and  present  Treasurer  of  the  college. 
At  one  time  or  another,  most  students  tried  their  hand  at  produc- 
ing some  bathtub  gin  ,  but  a  more  reliable  source  proved  to  be  the 
oootleggers  along  tne  up])er  Hoosick  Kiver. 
torinal  Dress  at  Dances 

The  limited  number  ot  cars  and  transportation  facilities  re 
suited  111  less  women  on  the  campus  during  weekends.  Girls  were 
seen  on  the  campus  more  spasmodically,  the  houseparties  being  a 
coiicentrated  period  ot  social  life.  All  college  dances  were  held  in 
the  gymnasium  and  formal  dress  was  required.  Ihis  dress  was 
also  tne  order  at  all  dances  at  the  fraternities  during  houseijarties. 

Ihe  modern  Williams  student  faces  a  more  complex  lite.  Not 
only  is  today's  social  life  more  active,  but  the  academic  life  is  more 
difficult  according  to  Professor  Wells  who  has  taught  at  Williams 
since  ISJilil.  Wells  went  on  to  say  that  he  tliought  today's  sttident 
gets  more  out  of  college  than  did  the  student  in  the  '30  s. 

Academically  the  Commons  Club  led  the  college  with  an  ap- 
proximate C  average  while  Theta  Delta  Chi  headed  the  fraterni- 
ties for  the  fourth  consecutive  year.  Psi  Upsilon,  however,  won  the 
i  rophies  of  Trophies,  showing  tlie  most  all-round  supremacy. 
lour  Losses  in  Four  Years 

The  quality  of  Wilhams  football  can  certainly  match  that  of 
the  present  team.  During  the  period  from  1928  to  1931,  the  varsity 
lost  only  four  games,  all  to  Columbia,  who  at  that  time  was  one 
of  the  nation's  gridiron  powerhouses. 

Because  Williams  had  no  band,  tlie  scrub  team  would  per- 
form during  the  half  with  "prep  school"  exhibitions.  At  the  halt  of 
the  Columbia  game  the  e.xnibition  was  so  intense  that  the  Lions' 
band  and  the  drum  major  had  more  difficulty  in  marching  up  and 
down  the  field  than  the  stars  of  the  afternoon. 
Vassar  Swamps  Eph  Golfers 

The  swimming  team  compiled  an  undefeated  record  in  addi- 
tion to  tying  with  Brown  for  the  New  England  championship.  In 
the  spring  sports  the  golf,  tennis  and  baseball  teams  captured  the 
Little  Three  crowns.  In  a  post-season  match,  however,  the  Links- 
men  encountered  a  5)j  —^  defeat  at  the  hands  of  Vassar.  Furtlier 
investigation  shows  that  the  females  received  one-stroke-pcr-hole 
handicap. 

During  this  past  era  students  seemed  to  display  a  greater  in- 
terest in  Williams  athletics.  Daily  apparel  consisted  of  a  pair  of 
corduroy  pants  and  a  black  letter  sweater.  Everyone  wore  his  "W" 
whether  it  was  won  in  a  major  or  a  minor  sport.  Ttxlay  a  "W"  is 
a  rare  sight  on  the  campus.  Larger  crowds  witnessed  the  football 
games.  5,000  watched  the  Williams- Wesleyan  contest  while  7,000 
packed  Weston  Field  for  the  game  with  Amherst. 
Frosh  Wore  Beanies 

225  Freshmen  registered  in  the  fall  of  1931,  a  slight  decrease 
from  the  previous  year.  Among  other  requisits,  all  Freshmen  had 
to  wear  the  regulation  college  beany  in  the  North  Adams-Williams- 
town  area.  They  could  not  appear  on  the  street  without  a  coat  nor 
could  they  smoke  while  walking  on  the  streets  of  Billville. 

For  the  first  time  a  Freshman  Commons  was  opened  on  the 
second  floor  of  the  gym.  All  Freshmen  had  to  eat  there  until  the 
middle  of  October  at  which  time  they  were  taken  into  fraternities. 
About  two-thirds  of  the  class  was  taken  into  fraternities,  the  rest 
either  joined  the  Commons  Club  or  became  non-affiliates.  The 
fraternity  hazing  was  more  extensive  than  it  is  today. 
Institute  of  Politics  Held 

Directed  bv  President  Garfield,  the  Institute  of  Politics  dis- 
cussed the  world  economic  crisis  with  its  effect  on  local  and  in- 
ternational government.  This  was  the  eleventh  gathering  of  the  in- 
stitute which  had  gained  national  recognition  and  an  official 
standing  in  Washington  several  years  before.  Authorities  from 
Italy,  Switzerland,  England  and  the  United  States  addressed  the 
group  and  led  round-table  discussions  during  this  four-week  sum- 
mer session. 

During  the  school  year  the  Intercollegiate  Conference  was 
also  held  at  Williamstown  with  175  delegates  from  most  colleges

along  the  Atlantic  seaboard.  Leading  experts  in  each  field  discuss- 
ed Communism,  Socialism,  Progressive  Caiiitalism,  Facism,  and 
Democracy  as  the  conference  probed  into  "future  economic  or- 
ganization '. 

On  the  cultural  side,  the  Thompson  CJoncert  Series  present, 
ed  the  Cleveland  and  the  Detroit  Symphony  Orchestras  as  well  as 
the  London  String  Quartet.  Because  ot  the  poor  attcndaiite  on  ilie 
part  of  the  student  body,  the  series  was  threatened  to  be  di.si.ui- 
tinued  in  future  years. 

Daily  Chapel  Compulsory 

Don't  complain  about  tlu'  chapel  system  of  today.  In  I  j.Jl 
daily  chapel  .services  were  held  at  7:45  in  the  morning  and  at  1 1  (X) 
on  Sundays.  Attendance  was  e()m|5ulsory  and  there  were  fewer 
cuts.  Despite  a  student  riot  in  1927,  the  compulsory  system  re- 
mained. 

The  Aiiril  23rd  issue  of  the  RECORD  announced  that  the 
faculty  had  voted  to  abandon  the  Gargoyle  Society  in  a  sc  let 
meeting.  The  faculty  had  decided  that  "the  organization  had  i  iit- 
lived  its  usehilness'  and  "it  is  an  imijetlimeiit  in  the  way  of  de- 
sirable progress  and  change".  The  next  HE{X)RD  was  (|uitl  to 
ex|)lain  that  several  undergraduates  had  tampered  with  the  Rl  (;. 
ORD  "in  humorous  spirit".  No  pimishmeiit  or  charges  were  mude, 
RECORD  Opposes  Heat  inn,  '''""' 

Construction  was  at  a  near  stand  still  during  the  depressi  n; 
however,  the  heating  plant  near  the  present  hockey  rink  was  h  nit 
because  of  low  constiuetion  costs.  The  RECORD  and  the  I  le- 
partment  of  Fine  Arts  vigorously  opposed  its  design  "to  prex.nt 
the  ornamentation  of  the  Williams  campus  with  another  example 
of  ill-inspired  architecture."  Despite  their  valiant  efforts  the  de- 
sign was  not  changed. 

Today  there  is  a  closer  relationship  between  students  and 
faculty  according  to  Mr.  Foehl.  Tlie  college  professor  25  years 
ago  was  more  of^the  aloof,  austere,  white-bearded  type. 

During  this  period  Williams  charged  more  tor  board  than  any 
other  college.  The  average  board  bill  was  $10.50  a  week,  $i.iO 
more  than  the  next  most  expensive  New  England  college.  'Ihe 
average  cost  for  one  school  year  to  a  fraternity  man  was  an  es  i- 
matetl  $666.,  $13.50  more  than  a  membi'r  of  llie  CAjuimons  Club.

Canine  Clan  Occupies  Village  Limelight 
Due  to  Lack  of  Ferocious  Purple  Cows; 
Several  Frats  Boast  Unusual  Specimens 


Saturday,  October  27  -  Although  Ephelia,  the  Purple  Cow  re- 
mains the  spiritual  Williams  symbol  of  soinetliing  or  other,  the 
obxious  physical  absence  of  such  creatures  in  Williamstown  has 
))i()\i'n  to  he  a  soinee  of  extreme  distress  for  the  more  rabid  local 
flag-waveis.  Upon  critical  analysis  of  such  a  would-be  situation, 
liowc\er,  rationality  dictates  that  a  Williams  cain]5us  turned  cattle 
ranch  of  these  freakish  vioU^t-hued  mascots  is  unreasonable.  As  a 
result,  the  common,  everyday  dog  has  certainly  located  his  posi- 
tion as  the  foremost  representative  of  its  stock  in  fauna-humanis 
lelationships. 

Campus  Canine  Concern 

l^ogs  abound  in  (ilenty  on  the  former  emerald-greens  of  the 
Williams  College  Campus.  E\cn  though  the  canine  community  ex- 
ists with  specimens  ol  e\'erv  imaginable  size,  shape,  proportion, 
and  personality,  it  can  (juickly  be  segmented  into  two  factions, 
1)  Those  who  are  established  house  mascots  and  2)  Those  who 
are  established,  uou-affiliatcd  freeloaders.  In  view  of  the  1956 
edition  of  I'all  Houseparty  this  weekend,  it  is  of  the  sound  judge- 
ment of  THE  WILLIAMS  RECOI^D  that  the  young  ladies  visit- 
ing the  cam]5us  should  hereby  be  made  actjuainted  with  ))roininent 
hounds  they  undoubtedly  will  be  introduced  to  by  groggy  .dates. 


First  citizens  of  Williamstown 


Homofieneitii  in  Heterogeneitij 

If  repetition  be  trite,  perha|3s  it  might  serve  the  utility  of 
emphasis.  Again,  Williams  dogs  display  heterogeneity  to  the  ex- 
treme. There  seems  to  exist  a  regulated  caste  system  among  our 
friends  in  which  the  ty]5ical  Williams  attributes  of  ambition  and 
knowledge  of  the  inside  track  acc|uire  for  the  upijer  ranks,  the 
choiscst  of  the  T-bones  and  other  remainders  of  food.  Wliatever 
differences  in  poise  do  remain  for  instance  between  Lord  George, 
the  exalted  rulei-  of  the  Student  Union  and  thereabouts,  and  the 
xarious  wandering  beggars  such  as  Hcrmon,  nevertheless  there 
is  a  definite  common  tie.  According  to  present  records,  all  Wil- 
liams dogs  are  of  |5ure  mongrel  jicdigree  with  vague  ]iarental  back- 
gromuls,  lending  fuel  to  several  local  shaggy  dog  stoiy  endui- 
siasts. 

Fratcrnitif  Pesonalitics 

The  following  is  the  unoffical  dog  roster  of  1956-7,  as  of  Wed- 
nesday, October,  24. 

1)  Zeta  Psi  .  .  .  The  stam])ing  ground  for  three  hounds  with 
di\'ersc  interests.  1)  Huckleberry  who  actually  belongs  to  Henry 
Flynt.  Mr.  Flynt  at  regular  inter\als  takes  "the  Huck"  back  home. 
The  Huck  just  as  regularlv  displays  seizures  of  Wanderlust  which 
find  him  back  in  the  Zete  kitclicn.  2)  Getz,  a  half  Doberman  who 
rcxels  in  sna|i]3ing  at  tele|)hone  runners  and  3)  Bessie,  part  Beagle 
and  wholeheartedly  a  partici|iaut  in  all  house  activities.  All  three 
are  regular  guests  of  the  house. 

2)  Delta  Phi  .  .  .  Home  of  one  of  the  shaggiest,  Mehitabel, 
also  rcs]5onds  to  the  label  of  .Mums.  He  was  dropped  at  the  house 
door  about  fi\e  years  ago  and  has  hardly  left  since.  Barrel  shaped, 
easy  to  get  along  with.  Has  two  young  male  companions,  Murga- 
troyd  and  Harbinger.  Chief  function  in  life;  increasing  the  Motley 
population. 

3)  Alpha  Delta  Phi  .  .  .  This  house  claims  the  mascot  with 
the  most  rounded  |5ersonality.  Name  is  Stosh.  Supposedly  a  scrap- 
py  fighter  and  tough  as  nails,  especially  when  tlie  brothers  back 
him  U|i.  A  dog  of  the  world,  having  journeyed  with  brothers  to 
Wisconsin,  California,  Worchester,  Mass.  and  to  basic  training 
cam]3  in  Florida  with  [eff  Miller.  Is  a  confirmed  bird-dog.  How- 
ever, his  whole  record  has  not  yet  been  confirmed. 

4)  Delta  Upsilon  .  .  .  Has  no  initiated  mascot  as  such  but 
receives  roving  curs  when  they  appear  on  scene.  Yogi  Berry's 
beagle  is  part-time  brother. 

5)  Phi  Gamma  Delta  .  .  .  Harry  Hart's  boxer  Butch,  is  a 
veteran  of  the  car  wars.  Hind  leg  injurtxl  as  result  of  habit  of  chal- 
lenging autos  on  roadways.  Pleasing  jjersonality.  Sticks  with  Har- 
rv  all  the  time. 

6)  Phi  Delta  Theta  .  .  .  Boasts  of  shrewd  hunting  dog  with 
Southern  drawl.  Was  iiulled  out  of  Louisiana  swamji  by  Dave 
Plater.  Re)3ortedly  entered  in  numerous  retrieving  trials.  Helps  out 
as  intramural  football  manager.  Excellent  conversationalist. 

7)  Chi  Psi  .  .  .  Undoubtedly  has  the  youngest  pledge  on  cam- 
]jus  called  Sjiencer  (after  an  original  fraternity  member).  Less  than 
a  vear  old.  Not  yet  trained  to  projier  ways  of  the  house.  A  terrier. 

8)  Baxter  Hall  .  .  .  Possessor  of  George,  undoubtedly  the  un- 
official king  of  the  campus.  Eats  and  sleeps  in  the  Student  Union 
and  is  a  friend  to  all.  He  attends  classes,  however,  and  can  make  or 
break  the  reputation  of  a  professor  depending  on  whether  he  lis- 
tens attenti\'ely  or  interrn]its  the  lecture  with  wheezv  snores. 
George  has  been  throngh  the  canine  wars  and  although  he  is  con- 
stantly challenged  bv  would-be  titleholders,  he  remains  on  top. 
He  is  an  ostentatiously  religious  dog.  he  followed  the  choir  up  the 
aisle  in  Chaiiel  last  Simday.  His  romantic  dreams  revolve  around 
Georgette,  a  female  of  qirestionable  character  known  also  as  Her- 
mon.  Wlien  in  a  sporting  mood,  George  roams  occasionally  to  the 
football  games,  often  displaying  a  particular  aversion  to  the  col- 
legiate pin  stripes  of  the  refs  and  umpires.  Cars  and  cycle  riders 
have  known  the  terror  of  George  behind  them  in  full  cry.  This 
dog  will  stop  at  nothing. 


THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD  SATURDAY,  OCTOBER  27,  1956 


Williams  College  Marching  Band  Again 
Highlights  Football  Games;  1956  Group 
Now  Ranks  as  Biggest,  Best  in  History 

Bii  Saiuli/  tliniscll 

Saturday,  Oct.  27  -  Proml  of  its  placf  in  tin-  passing;  paiioiaina 
of  fall  football  Saturdays  in  tln'  IJcrkshircs,  the  colorliil  Williams 
Collt'gu  MarcliinL'  Hand  plays  an  intrci^al  role  in  inakinjf  j;rid 
games  here  so  indivkluallisticallv  Williamsiana. 

Characterizing  the  cheerfully  informal,  friendly  and  yet  hi:;Iily 
spirited  atmosphere  for  which  Williams  football  games  are  noled, 
tlic  band  is  a  study  in  "casual  formality".  While  it  aihnittedly  iloes 
not  attempt  to  match  the  brilliant  150  piece  precision  niarc>.ing 
groniJS  of  the  larger  uni\ersities,  the  band  year  in  and  year  oiit 
continues  to  add  its  own  uui(|ue  fhnoriug  to  the  exeiliug  p.vyan- 
try  of  local  football. 

Ry  way  of  explanation,  the  Williams  Rand  is  that  vigorous, 
renowned  organization  which  supplies  the  "muuchiug  music"  as 
the  crowd  consumes  hot  dogs  and  collee  at  halftime. 


Pyramid   Builders   Practice  for  Jumbo  Showdown; 
Eph  Cheerleaders  Predict  Successful  Construction

By  Dick  Davis 


'Biggei(  (iiul  Best' 

With  all  the  fu.ss  oyer  the  highly-flying  loothall  learn  this 
year,  many  haye  oyerlooked  the  fact  that  this  year's  hand,  some  50 
strong,  is  the  "biggest  and  best  e\er ". 

"Without  a  doubt",  states  director  Irwin  Shaimnau,  "this 
year's  bunch  is  by  far  the  biggest  and  best  wc'\e  e\er  had."  Cred- 
iting a  large,  promising  group  of  freshmen,  Shaimnau  is  proud  of 
the  fact  that,  for  the  first  time  in  history,  he  can  field  a  band  of 
more  than  50  pieces. 

Taking  oyer  the  group  in  1948  the  director  has  seen  the  or- 
ganization, ea,sily  the  fastest  growing  institution  on  campus,  ma- 
ture from  an  original  14  members  to  its  present  strength.  The  ul- 
timate goal  is  60  men,  Shainman  added. 
Bust/  Schedule 

The  band  plays  for  all  home  football  games  along  with  one 
or  two  away  games  per  season.  Other  a]5]K'arances  Me  made  at 
pep  rallies.  Freshman  Parents'  Weekend  and  Commeueement.  Al- 
though .seyeral  members  continue  with  die  Berkshire  C^ommunify 
Orchestra,  the  band  breaks  u)i  after  football  season  until  Com- 
mencement because  of  the  pressure  of  academic  and  other  jim- 
suits  of  yarying  natines. 

Following  tradition,  this  year's  band  featmes  musical  depth 
and  quality  and  its  patented  "casually  snajipy"  appearance.  Add- 
ing .scope  to  its  repertoire,  the  local  musicians  now  offer  football 
fans  a  little  bit  of  eyerything  from  Sousa  to  "My  Fair  Lady"  to 
"In  My  Merry  Oldsmobile".  The  grou]5  creates  a  striking  effect, 
the  eye-catching  uniforms  making  it  one  of  the  best-dressed  bands 
in  the  East. 

Half-Time  Sliotcs 

Shainman  explains  that  the  band  never  attempts  block  for- 
mations or  intricate  marching  maneu\ers  because  the  stands  here 
are  so  low  that  few  would  be  able  to  disti.iguish  the  p.itteru. 

Actually  many  find  it  hard  to  belieye  that  the  group  cm  at- 
tain the  top-grade  <|uality  which  it  consistently  displays  e\ery 
week  in  yiew  of  its  light  reliear.sal  schedule.  The  men  run  oyer 
the  music  for  that  week's  show  an  hom'  eyery  Wednesday  night 
and  polish  the  marching  for  an  hour  Friday  afternooi:s. 

Fez  and  All 

The  perennial  featured  attrac- 
tion, of  course,  is  fez-sporting 
Harry  Hart,  a  favorite  of  local 
fans  for  11  years.  This  year  Har- 
ry has  switched  from  his  tradi- 
tional trumpet  to  the  sweet  tones 
of  the  valve  trombone.  .Although 
Harry  admits  that  his  new  instru- 
ment is  not  quite  as  effective  for 
his  famous  "Fight  Cheer"  lan 
adaptation  of  "It  Ain't  Necessarily 
So"),  he  says  that  he  likes  the 
trombone's  general  musical  per- 
formance much  better.  Harry,  of 
course,  will  be  featured  in  the 
band's  big  show  this  afternoon. 

Shainman  credits  the  SAC  for 
its  aid  in  the  rapid  development 
of  the  band  through  the  years. 
The  student  director,  or  drum  ma- 
jor, this  year  is  Dave  Nevin  '57. 
Other  officers  include:  Vice-Pre- 
sident. Fred  Hughes:  Manage:', 
Bob  Harwood:  Assistant  Manager, 
Spence  Jones  and  librarian,  Lan-y 
Wright.

Tomorrow  afternoon  on  Weston 
Field  the  Williams  "eleven"  will 
have  a  project  on  its  hands — con- 
quering Tufts  and  thus  remaining 
unbeaten.  But  eleven  more  Wil- 
liams men  will  be  out  to  accomp- 
Ush  a  differently,  though  related, 
jroject: — building  a  pyramid  that 
doesn't  collapse  before  its  "peak" 
3  in  place.  No,  college  architecture 
.s  not  reverting  back  to  the  age  of 
;he  Pharoahs.  It's  just  that  the 
'urple  Order  of  Cheerleaders  is 
istermined  to  complete  at  least 
)r:e  of  their  previously  elusive  tri- 
angles before  the  season  is  over. 

With  the  enthusiastic  new  blood 
picked  up  this  fall,  chances  look 
pretty  good.  Last  June's  graduat- 
ing class  took  with  It  four  of  the 
Order  —  Johnny  Taylor,  Clark 
Sperry,  Bill  Jenks,  and  Tiger  Wil- 
son. That  left  seniors  Bud  Sidles, 
who  heads  the  organization,  Teddy 
McKee,  Freddy  Johnson,  Steve 
Mo.se,  and  George  Tuerk,  Before 
the  Trinity  game,  six  more  were 
added  —  Seniors  Johnny  Suddutl 
and  lanky  Ed  Hines,  Juniors  Jack 
Love  and  Dave  Wood,  and  Sopho- 
mores Terry  O'Leary  and  Dav; 
Taylor. 

Cheerleadingr  Lab 

A  cheerleader's  week  starts  on 
Friday  afternoon,  when  he  attends 
practice  "lab"  from  two  till  four. 
Friday  night  is  busily  spent  keep- 
ing the  pep-rally  parade  moving 
loudly  down  Main  and  Spring 
Streets  to  the  bon-fire.  Before 
Saturday's  game,  just  like  the  foot- 
ball team,  the  cheerleaders  have 
a  warm-up  party,  er  , . .  session. 
The  rest  of  the  afternoon  is  devot- 
ed to  acquiring  a  hoarse  voice  and 
stiff  joints  for  the  next  two  days. 

Another  weekly  feature  is  the 
half-time  touch  football  game 
with  the  opposing  team's  cheering  i 


Who  needs  "Playboy"  Cheerleaders?  we've  got  Sidles  and  Co 


squad.  These  games  can  sometimes 
prove  as  brutal  as  the  Varsity  con- 
test. In  the  Middlebury  half-time 
tilt  (Middlebury  has  co-educa- 
tional cheerleading)  Steve  Morse 
had  to  be  carried  off  the  field  af- 
ter the  first  play.  Another  casualty 
almost  occurred  during  the  regula- 
tion game  with  Colby.  After  a 
sensational  Williams  touchdown, 
one  member  of  the  Eph  cheering 
outfit  fired  the  cannon  without 
looking  and  nearly  took  the  back 
off  football  manager  Dave  Wil- 
liams. 

Advantages  of  a  Cheerleader 

A  cheerleading  job  carries  with 
it  certain  inherent  advantages.  In 
the  first  place,  cheerleaders  are  in 
an  excellent  position  to  observe 
and  impress  feminine  pulchritude 
in  the  stands.  At  away  games,  they 
have  pretty  much  "free  reign",  and 
can  get  a  lot  of  friends  into  the

small    admirer   continually   steals 
a  megaphone,  or  a  dog  refuses  to 
heed  a  referee's  whistle. 


Up  to  now  the  selection  of  cheer- 
leaders has  been  rather  arbitrary. 
Starting  next  fall,  a  committee  of 
four  representing  the  Purple  Key 
will  join  with  the  remaining  cheer- 
leaders and  hold  regular  try-outs 
for  the  vacant  spots.  In  most 
schools,  and  increasingly  at  Wil- 
liams, being  a  cheerleader  is  an 
honor  only  very  slightly  subordi- 
nate to  starring  on  the  football 
team   Itself. 

There  has  been  some  talk  about 
changing  the  white  shirt-grey 
pants-white  .sweater-saddle  shoes 
costume.  lA  motion  for  Elvis 
Presley  T-shirts  was  voted  dowm. 
The  group  also  plans  to  enlarge 
its  present  repertoire  of  six  cheers.

iii  the  Last. 

Looking  at  the  ability  of  th<.  teams,  Tufts  is  l)y  far  the  best 
.lub  the  Lphs  wi  1  laee  all  yar.  Looking  at  the  rest  of  the  season 
„ith  tins  m  mmd,  it  ean  be  .said  that  Williams  should  jr,,  nnde- 
Ir.ited  if  they  will  today.  One  word  of  warning,  Ihoimh  Amherst 
Wesleyaii,  and  Union  cannot  be  trusted  to  lie  down  like  sleeninL^ 
(liij^s.  They  can  lie  trouble.  '     "

I,  line. 

The  Ephs  didn't  want  to  .show  too  inneh.  They  onlv  unloo.sed 
,1  passing  attack  when  it  was  absolutely  necessary  even  though 
the  Polar  Rears  defensive  aliirnment  -an  eiKlit  man  line-  was 
iiist  bejij^iiiK  to  be  passed  against.  Tufts  is  known  to  use  that  de- 
lense  on  occasions.  If  they  do  today,  they  can  be  certain  that  they 
aiuld  pa.ss  it  necessary. 

Any  team  that  has  to  hice  Williams'  powerful  and  varied  of- 
Inise  has  a  fjreat  problem  in  setting  up  a  defense.  Colby  chose  to 
i;i\e  Williams  the  inside  to  protect  the  outside.  Middlebury  used 
ihe  opposite  strategy.  Howdoin  stayed  tij;ht  on  the  pound  while 
4ivinfi  up  the  air.  None  of  these  methods  worked.  Williams  has 
rrashiii)^  nmners  like  |oel  Potter,  Matt  Donner  and  Gary  Sliort- 
lldi^e  to  no  through  the  middle.  Speedsters  like  Whitev  Kaufman

Purple  Harriers  Encounter  Tufts; 
Varsity  Looks  for  Second  Victory 

lit/  Dick  Davis 

Saturday,  Oct.  27  -  The  Williams  varsity  cross  countrvmen 
will  take  on  their  counterparts  from  Tufts  in  a  dual  meet.  A  half 
hour  later,  at  I2;.3(),  the  Eph  freshmen  will  vie  with  the  Tufts 
frosli.  The  \arsitv  outfits  will  run  over  the  regulation  three  and 
three-f|uarters  route,  with  the  freshmen  traveling  tlie  abbrev  iated 
two  and  oiie-(piarter  course,  but  both  contests  will  start  and  end 
on  the  Science  ynad  in  front  of  the  Physics  Lab. 

The  varsity  goes  into  the  meet  with  a  loss  to  U.  Mass.  and  a 
victory  over  both  M.l.T.  and  Springfield  in  a  triangular  meet.  Last 
fall  the  I'urijle  took  both  meets  from  Tufts  handily,  so  that  pros- 
pects for  \ictory  tomorrow  are  good.  But  the  Ephs  will  ha\'e  to 
work  for  it,  considering  that  three  men  will  be  out  of  competition 
due  to  injuries.  |env  Tipper,  who  has  placed  second  and  fourth, 
respectixely,  in  previous  meets,  is  lost  with  a  knee  injury.  Like- 
wise hain|)ered  are  sojihoniores  Dave  Canfield  and  Austin  Piatt. 
Mor.ss  Readi/ 

The  rest  of  the  team  is  in  top-flight  condition,  including  co- 
captains  |im  Hecker  and  Bill  Fox.  Fo.\  started  slowlv  this  year, 
garnering  onlv  a  ninth  in  the  U.  Mass.  meet,  but  took  second  place 
in  the  triangular  meet  two  weeks  ago,  while  Hecker  took  a  fourth. 
George  Suckliith,  top  man  for  the  Purple  in  the  LI.  Mass.  meet,  and 
consistent  Steve  Carroll  are  also  in  good  shape. 

Like  the  \arsity,  the  freshmen  go  into  the  Tufts  meet  with  a 
1-1  record,  having  defeated  M.l.T.  in  the  opener  and  suffering  a 
loss  at  the  bands  of  Deerfield  last  week.  The  scpiad  was  handi- 
capped at  Deerfield  by  the  loss  of  its  number  one  man.  Elliott 
Morss.  who  was  disabled  with  a  heel  injur\'.  Morss  will  be  ready 
this  week,  however,  along  with  Charlie  McNaull,  who  has  showed 
well  in  both  previous  meets.  But  injuries  will  also  plague  the 
frosh  tomorrow,  as  Bob  Janacke,  John  Witman,  and  John  Fay  will

Varsity,  Yearling  Squads  Journey 
Ta  Engage  Dartmouth  On  Tuesday 

Bi/  }ini  Robinson 
Saturday,    Oct,    27   -    Coach    (;lareiice   (;liaffee's    undefeated 
soccer  s(|uad  faces  a  very  strong,  undefeated  Trinity  team  on  Cole 
Fi<ld  this  morning  at  10:.30.  Both  squads  are  currently  sporting 
■3-0  records. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Coach  Ra\'  Dath,  Trinity  has  scored 
a  6-1  \ictory  ()\'er  Tufts,  a  6-0  trinmpb  over  the  Coast  Ciiiard 
Academy,  and  a  6-2  win  over  a  favored  UMass.  s(|iiad.  They  have 
already  wen  as  many  games  this  year  as  they  did  all  last  season 
when  tlii'v  had  a  three  win— three  loss  record. 
Epii.s  Defcdl  Crimson 

Ci     Williams  edged  out  UConn.,  2-1, 

in  their  last  start  after  an  im- 
pressive 3-2  victory  over  Harvard's 
powerful  club.  The  Ephs  also  tri- 
umphed over  UMass.  by  a  4-1  mar- 
gin. Today's  contest  should  be  a 
close  fight  according  to  past  per- 
formances. 

Co-Captain  and  center  forward 
Howie  Patterson  will  head  the 
Williams  starting  lineup  which 
will  also  include  Dave  Kimball, 
outside  left;  Mike  Baring-Gould, 
inside  left,  Bruno  Quinson,  right 
iaslde:  Dick  Towne,  right  outside; 
Jim  Hutchinson,  left  half;  Ken 
Bawden,  center  half;  Rich  Lom- 
bard, rit!hl  half;  Mike  Cunan,  left 
fullback;  Don  Lum,  right  full  and 
Jock  Purcell,  goalie. 

Sophomores  Dominate  Lineup 
Trinity's  sophomore  dominated 
squad  is  captained  by  center  for- 
ward Doug  Raynard  and  right  half 
back  Don  Duff,  Probable  starters 
include  Miles,  Shea.  Raynard,  Wi- 
ding  and  Ewell  right  to  left  across 
the  line;  Duff,  Lukens,  Arnt,  Bai- 
ley or  White  at  halfbacks  and 
Polstein,  McDonough,  Baird  or 
Prentice  at  fullback,  Outcalt  will 
be  in  the  goal. 

Next  Tuesday  both  the  varsity 
and  frosh  Eph  squads  journey  to 
Hanover  to  play  the  Dartmouth 
squads.  The  Green  varsity  is  win- 
less  in  Ivy  League  competition  but 
beat  UConn.  by  the  same  score  as 
the  Ephs  did  last  Saturday.  Dart- 
mouth hopes  that  Butch  Waid,  in- 
jured Olympic  Team  alternate, 
will  be  ready  for  the  contest.  Other 
Dartmouth  stars  are  Captain  Cal 
Perry,  Tony  Gittes  and  Charlie 
Pinkerton,  who  scored  both  goals 
in  the  UConn.  game. 

Co-Captains  Paul  Rea  and  Tom 
Thoms  will  try  to  lead  the  frosh 
hooters  to  their  second  victory  of 
the  current  campaign  when  they 
meet  the  Green.  Williams  lost  to 
Mount  Hermon  3-0  after  defeating 
Hotchkiss.  The  Dartmouth  squad 
boasts  an  impressive  1-0  victory 
over  a  powerful  Exeter  eleven. 


Paul  Abrahamian  and  quarter- 
back Ralph  Tliompson  round  out 
thie  veteran  backfield.  Although 
he  expecially  excels  on  defense, 
Abrahamian  has  proved  himself  a 
fast,  capable  ball-handler  and  a 
dependable  blocker.  The  Jumbos 
have  an  excellent  field  general  In 
Thompson.  He  is  small,  weighing 
165  lb;.,  b'jt  is  a  fairly  good  passer 
and  an  excellent  faker  and  ball- 
handler, 

Kirkr'  on    All-East   Team 

Un'ike  the  backfield  which  re- 
Lurii-d  in  tact  from  last  season. 
Tufts'  fo;ward  wall  has  only  three 
of  last  year's  regulars.  Neverthe- 
less, Coach  Arlanson  has  great 
praise  tor  his  heavy,  powerful  lina, 
.-'.specially  for  its  job  in  the  Trinity 
game. 

Right  tackle  George  Ku:ker  and 
left  guard  Lou  Rigano  are  the  stal- 
warts of  the  line.  Kurker  being 
named  to  last  week's  All-East  team 
for  his  outstanding  performance  in 
the  Trinity  game.  A  pre-season 
problem,  the  end  positions  aie  now 
capably  filled  by  Bill  Callahan  and 
Dick  Portin,  Callahan  was  unable 
to  play  last  season  because  of  an 
injury;  Portin  is  a  converted  quar- 
terback, who  set  up  Tufts'  Initial 
touchdown  against  Harvard. 

Weak  Pass  Defense? 

A  regular  from  last  year,  Merrill 
Werblum  is  an  excellent  center 
and  a  good  linebacker.  Right  guard 
Joe  Asiaf  and  left  tackle  Marty 
Roth   were  substitutes  last  year. 

Tufts  reportedly  has  a  rather 
poor  pass  defense,  but  Coach  Ar- 
lanson denies  such  leports.  Bow- 
doin completed  11  out  of  12  passes 
against  Tufts;  however,  Arlanson 
claims  that  most  of  these  were 
completed  against  the  second  and 
third  teams.  He  added,  "We 
weren't  weak  on  pass  defense  last 
year,  and  we  have  the  same  boys 
in  the  backfield  again  this  year".

back, who  will  start  against  Tufts

with  266  yards  in  28  carries  for 
a  nifty  9.5  average.  So  far,  the 
Ephs  have  thrown  only  19  passes, 
completing  8  for  three  touch- 
downs, two  of  them  in  the  dying 
minutes  of  the  Bowdoin  game  to 
pull  it  out  of  the  fire. 

Tufts  will  rale  a  slight  favorite 
in  the  game,  due  to  their  victory

Yes  is  for  a  very  fine  play  yi's  a  talented  reading  yes  an  ex- 
cellent selection.  Yes  is  for  "Yes  Is  for  a  \'ery  Younj;  Nlau",  |)er- 
fornied  in  a  concert  rcadinji  at  the  A.M.T.,  Tuesday,  the  twenty- 
third. 

The  initial  lines  of  tiiis  article,  although  rather  garbled  for 
jounuilisni,  present  a  taste  of  a  stvle  not  unlike  that  of  Gertrude 
Stein  in  this  last  work.  To  ipiote  Mr.  Clav  Hunt's  significaul  eoui- 
position  on  the  playbill,  "Her  field  of  operations  is  the  conscious 
mind,  particularily  that  area  of  our  uientalitv  which  li,'s  just  this 
side  of  the  threshold  of  speech,  where  our  subconscious  impulses 
have  already  been  articulated  in  words,  and  the  words  are  be- 
ginning to  he  formed  up  into  those  patterns  of  granunatical  and 
logical  arrangement  which  express  ideas."  Often  sentences  are 
concise;  often  they  wantler  back  into  this  area  of  "pre-speech. ' 
The  whole  can  be  (|uite  effective,  and  in  spite  of  the  difficulties 
inherent  in  reading,  the  A.M.T.  group  achieved  considerable  sue 
cess. 

Plat/  Deals  With  Gcnncin  Occufxitioii  Of  France 

The  play  is  concerned  with  se\eral  people  li\'ing  in  l''rance 
during  the  German  occupation  from  1940  to  1944.  It  examines 
their  intelligence,  their  jiettiness,  their  harmonies,  and  their  quar- 
rels as  they  react  in  various  ways  to  "the  new  government." 
Denise,  wife  of  Henry,  assumed  all  of  her  nagging,  sickening, 
yet  hmnorous  (|ualities  through  the  remarkable  acting  of  [ol  Ober- 
ly.  Tony  Distler  did  a  confident  job  with  the  disgust  and  delight- 
ful sarcasm  of  Hemv.  Barbara  Taylor  and  Robert  Vail  played 
smoothly  together  as  the  American  girl,  Constance,  and  the 
young  man,  Ferdinand,  who  merits  the  title.  Supporting  this  cen 
tral  group  of  foiu'  were  announcers  Rassi  Gifford,  and  George 
Dietz,  Jr.,  the  female  "ciders'  Miriam  Piper  and  Mildred 
Hurly,  terrorist-aid  Geoffrcv  Swift,  German  Richard  Willhite,  and 
radio  announcer  Harvey  Simmonds,  whose  lines  were  the  ecstatic, 
"Attencion,  attenciou,  Paris  is  free!  !" 

Director  John  Mattice  handled  the  problem  of  entrance,  e.vit, 
and  nioNcment  of  characters  on  the  scenery-less  stage  skillfullv. 
One  always  understood  who  was  to  be  considered  in  scenes,  what 
the  sinrounding  situation  was,  and  who  were  not  to  be  considered 
"present ".  He  eniploved  a  striking  use  of  color  with  dark  curtains 
and  dark  costumes  constrasted  to  the  eomplemeutarv  red  and  blue- 
green  dresses  worn  by  the  ceiitial  fem.ile  characters.

Jazz  Battle 

After  the  dust  from  this  gridiron  battle  clears  early  this  even- 
ing another  battle  will  take  place  in  Chapin  Hall.  The  jirize  in  con- 
tention will  be  the  vacated  Jazz  throne  of  the  Sjiring  Street  Stomp- 
ers,  and  the  chief  contenders  will  be  "Phinney's  Favorite  Five". 
Long  time  veterans  of  Chapin  Hall  Jazz  Concerts  this  will  be  their 
first  chance  to  take  the  spotlight,  and  rejiorts  have  it  that  "they're 
ready!  !" 

Appearing  opposite  the  "Five"  will  be  two  competent  jazz 
groups,  "Eli's  Chosen  Six"  from  Yale  and  "The  Cajiitol  District 
All-Stars".  Also  on  this  splendid  jirogram  arranged  by  Herb  Var-

With  less  than  twenty  four  hours  remaining  before  this  week- 
end moves  into  the  region  of  Williams  houseparty  history,  a  vote 
of  thanks  should  he  extended  to  Herb  Varnum  and  his  committee

job  they  have  clone.

Frosh  Weekend  Features 
Football,    Steak    Dinner 


Saturday.  Oct.  27  -  The  fourth 
annual  Freshman  Parents'  Day 
is  scheduled  for  next  Saturday,  No- 
vember 3.  and  404  parents  and 
guests  have  already  registered  for 
the  festivities.  The  lists  Include 
representatives  from  169  family 
groups.  19  more  than  the  pre- 
weekend  count  for  last  year,  and  37 
more  than  the  1954  listings.  This 
means  that  the  Student  Union  will 
have  to  provide  670  steak  dinners 
on  Saturday  night,  as  compared 
with  only  632  for  the  Class  of  1959. 

The  day's  activities  will  com- 
mence with  a  three-hour  registra- 
tion period  during  which  parents 
are  urged  to  attend  regular  class 
periods  and  arrange  conferences 
with  Instructors  and  advisers  by 
appointment.  As  soon  as  classes 
are  finished  at  noon,  parents  and 
freshmen  will  retire  to  the  Alumni 
House  on  Spring  Street  for  an  in- 
formal buffet  luncheon.  Thus  re- 
inforced with  nourishment,  they'll 
move  to  Weston  Field  for  the  foot- 
ball game  between  the  freshman 
teams  of  R.P.I,  and  Williams.  The 
remainder  of  the  afternoon  will  be 
spent  in  leisurely  exploration  of 
the  campus,  and  the  banquet  will 
follow  at  7:00  p.m. 

A  speaking  program  will  be  pre- 
sented in  Chapin  Hall  immediately 
following  the  dinner  at  the  Stu- 
dent Union.  This  program  will  in- 
clude remarks  by  members  of  the 
faculty  and  administration,  an  ad- 
dress by  a  speaker  who  has  not 
been  chosen  to  date,  and  songs  by 
the  Williams  octet. 

A  special  chapel  service  will  be 
held  at  11:00  a.m.  Sunday.  Col- 
lege President  James  P.  Baxter 
will  deliver  the  sermon,  and  all 
parents  are  invited  to  attend. 
There  will  be  no  regular  Chapel 
service  at  7:30  p.m.

Hey,  everybody!  Here's  a  ne^  stack  of 


WHEN  SMOKE  FOLK  get  together,  the  chatter 
matter  is  fine  tobacco.  NatiiraUy,  that  means 
Lucky  Strike.  Luckies'  taste  is  worth  talking 
about  because  it  comes  from  fine  tobacco — 
light,  mild,  good-tasting  tobacco  that's 
TOASTED  to  taste  even  better.  As  for  the 
Stickler,  you  call  the  minutes  of  a  smokers'  con- 
vention a  Light-up  Write-up.  Speaking  of  light- 
ups,  have  you  tried  a  Lucky  lately?  You'll  say 
it's  the  best-tasting  cigarette  you  ever  smoked !

irr,  "is  tlie  Ki-eulest  need  of  Amcrl-O , [

The  new  tuition  figure,  effec- 
i!ve  next  July   1.  represents  half

Williams  tuition  figure,  howevi'i 
IS  in  line  with  that  set  for  .somi- 

ime  iJast  by  Harvard,  Yale, 
Princeton,  Brown  and  Dartmouth. 

Scholarships 

At  the  same  meelinu,  the  trus- 
lees  approved  an  increase  of  each 
scholarship  Kranted  by  Williams 
by  the  same  amount  of  the  tui- 
llon  increa.se  so  that  no  pait  of  il 
will  faU  on  a  scholarship  holder 
Arprrximately  22  per  cnt  of  next 
year's  entering  class  will  be  on 
.scholarship. 

"Except  for  the  sums  needed  to 
augment  scholarships."  explained 
President  Baxter,  "the  income  de- 
rived from  the  ri.se  in  tuition  will 
be  applied   to  teachers'  .salaries." 

History    of    Tuition 

Each  of  the  four  inci'ea.ses  in 
tuition  which  the  trustees  have 
effected  since  1950  have  been  ne- 
cessary to  cover  steadily  increa.sini; 
.salaries  and  additional  scholar- 
.ships.  according  to  college  treasur- 
er Charles  A.  Foehl. 

The  $550  tuition  effective  in 
1950  was  raised  to  $600  in  the  fall 
of  1952.  At  the  bcKinninB  to  the 
next  fall  semester,  a  Wiliiams  edu- 
cation cost  each  student  $700.  'Hie 
tuition  remained  at  that  level  un- 
til 1955,  when  it  was  rai.sed  to  the 
IJresent  $800  figure. 

Other    Sources 

The  cost  of  educating  a  Wil- 
liams .student  is  met  by  grants  as 
well  as  tuition.  In  announcing  next 
.year's  tuition  hilce,  President  Bax- 
ter explained  that  the  Board  of 
Trustees  last  year  authorized  him 
to  raise  $2  million  in  endowment 
'less  any  funds  the  college  miglit 
receive  from  the  Ford  Foundation  i . 
for  increases  in  faculty  salaries. 
To  date.  Williams  has  received  the 
first  half  of  the  Ford  Foundation's 
grant  of  $849,000. 

Williams  aliiv.'.y  ha.->  cash  and 
pledges  amounting  to  $350,000 
toward  the  balance  of  the  $2  mil- 
lion to  be  raised  within  the  next 
few  years. 

College  authorities  recently  es- 
timated that  they  would  need 
more  than  the  income  of  $2  mil- 
lion of  additional  endowment  to 
improve  faculty  salaries,  which  led 
to  the  trustees  decision  to  raise 
the  tuition.

Pep  Rally,  All-College  Dance,  Tufts  Tilt, 
Fraternity  Parties  Highlight  Houseparty; 
Ephs  Begin  Long  Grind  To  Thanksgiving 

hi/  ]oc  Alhri'^hl 

Wednesday,  Oct.  '31  -  "Pore  [tidd  is  daid,  a  candle  lights  his 
haid— ." 

With  the  last  shipinent  ol  houseparty  dates  safely  entrained, 
some  1000  Kjihs  trundled  themselves  liack  to  the  salt  mines,  not  to 
icappear  iiiilil  Febniarv.  This  was  the  weekend  designed  to  make 
hour  tests,  term  pa])ers.  Saturday  8:00  a.  m.  classes  and  the  State 
Line  heaiahle  lor  three  more  months.  Iiidging  Iroiii  the  recent  rim 
on  tomato  juice,  aspirin,  and  raw  eggs,  the  weekend  met  all  ex- 
pectations. The  HKCOHD  atteinpted  to  take  a  poll  on  the  success 
of  the  weekend  Monday  morning,  but  no  suitable  form  of  commtm- 
ication  could  be  found  to  the  somewhat  dazed  weekenders. 

Though  dates  began  arri\  ing  as  early  as  last  Tuesday,  the 
first  official  function  was  a  torch  light  pep  rally  for  the  Tnfts 
game  in  front  of  C^hapin  Hall  Friday  night.  Led  by  star  micro- 
phone man  liud  Sidles  '57.  Williams  roni])ed  all  over  Tufts  at  the 
Pep  rally.  Unfortunately,  the  outcome  of  the  game  Saturday  on 
Weston  Field  was  just  the  opjjosite.  Theta  Delta  Chi  won  kegs  ol 
beer  for  ha\ing  the  best  posters,  with  a  rewording  of  a  Burma 
Shave  advertisement. 

All-CoUcfic  Dance 
Aftei  the  rally  had  started  adrenalin  rushed  around  in  2000 
bloodstreams,  the  mob  stomped  o\er  the  Student  Union  for  some 
frantic,  frenetic  .sessions  with  Cozy  Cole,  and  Lester  Lanin's  Tra- 
\elers  at  the  All-College  Dance.  Bottles  of  Prince  Macliiayelli 
])eifiune,  Lester  Lanin  hats,  and  occasionally.  fraternit\'  iiins  were 
distributed.  At  half-time,  the  Penguins  ripped  it  up  with  'Earth 
.\nger'.  "Shake.  Battle  and  Boll",  while  (S.ov.y  Cole  closed  up  shop 
at  1:00  a.  m.  with  a  nine  minute  drum  solo.  .-XikI  meanwhile,  back 
in  the  jungle  ,  .  .ahem  ,  .  .  back  in  the  fraternity  houses  .  .  .  The 
curfew  was  3  a,  m,  ,  ,  . 

Saturday  saw  Williams  lose  the  "big  game"  to  Tufts,  and  also 
to  imbeatee.  Trinit\-  in  soccer  and  to  Tufts  in  cross-country.  Tradi- 
tionally, die  F,])h  weekendeis  and  their  dates  came  back  and  liii- 

islied  strong  after  the  game.  C 1  parties  were  held  in  fraternity 

houses  after  the  game  and  frosh  entries,  which  merged  easily  into 
the  College  )azz  Conceit  in  Chapin  Hall.  This  was  the  first  con- 
ceit in  several  moons  at  which  the  Stomijers  did  not  grab  the  sjiot- 
liglit,  but  Phinney's  Fa\orite  l'"i\e  were  as  rousing  as  the  Stompers 
eyei-  were.  Bids  for  the  coiistiiiction  of  a  new  roof  for  (chapin  Hall 
will  be  receiyed  immediatclv.  The  Ephlats,  Elis  CHiosen  Six,  the 
Siniffenpooffs,  the  Capitol  District  All-Stais  also  made  apjiear- 
ances.  Kudos  for  organizing  the  jazz  concert  go  to  Herb  \'ar- 
iium  '59. 

AH-Libhinji  Admirable 
This  was  the  last  of  official  houseparh'  fmictions,  but  the 
ad-libbing  of  E|)lis  and  their  dates  was  admirable.  Dances  in  fia- 
leniity  bouses  and  in  the  lower  lounge  of  Baxter  Hall  followed  the 
concert.  After  the  house  dances,  tlieie  were  innumerable  unor- 
ganized parties  (definition:  less  than  tluee  people)  on  such  novel 
tlieines  as  "Lef'.s  usher  in  standard  time".  Let's  watch  the  sun  come 
up  from  the  top  of  Mount  Cieyock."  "Let's  go  to  the  Y  Diner  for 
Beers",  "Lets",  etc. 

The  weekend  ground  to  an  official  halt  at  7:00  |i.ni  Sunday, 
with  the  penalty  for  lioldover  dates  a  .50-miiiute  sentence  in  Ho])- 
kins  Hall  at  8;()0  a.m.  Monday,  Services  for  daid  Eph  weekenders 
will  be  held  over  Homecoining,  Nov,  10, 


Baxter  To  Oppose  Prof.  Burns 
In  Eisenhower  Debate  Tonight; 
Carlson,  Dave  PhilHps  To  Talk 

Wednesday,  Oct.  31  -  The  ."Vdelphic  Union  will  sponsor  the 
biggest  debate  ol  the  year  tonight  in  Chapin  Hall  when  College 
Presidi'iit  |ames  Phiimey  Baxter  III  opposes  Political  Science  Pro- 
fessor |ames  M.  Burns  on  the  subject  "The  Eisenhower  Adminis- 
tration should  be  returned  to  office".  President  Baxter  will  be  as- 
sisted ill  the  affirmatix'e  argument  by  Da\e  Pliillips'58,  President 
of  the  .\delphic  Union.  Ariie  Carlson  '57,  Editor  of  the  Williams 
BECORD,  will  help  Professor  Burns  argue  the  negative. 

The  action  will  get  under  way  at  eight  o'clock,  with  John 
Struthcrs  '59,  acting  as  chairman. 
Professor  Burns  will  open  the  de- 


bate and  talk  for  fifteen  minutes, 
followed  by  President  Baxter  who 
will  likewise  speak  fifteen  min- 
utes. Carlson  will  then  hold  the 
floor  tor  ten  minutes,  followed  by 
Phillips  for  the  same  length  of 
time.  Only  Profes.sor  Burns  and 
President  Baxter  will  return  for 
the  rebuttals,  each  lasting  fifteen 
minutes. 

Burns   R«places    Newhall 

In  Octobe:-  of  1952  the  Adelphlc 
Union  sponsored  a  similar  debate, 
with  President  Baxter  advocating 
the  election  of  Eisenhower.  He  was 
opposed  by  Stevenson  supporter 
Professor  Richard  Newhall,  for- 
mer Chairman  of  the  History  De- 
partment here,  who  retired  last 
June. 

At  that  time  President  Baxter 
cited  Eisenhower's  adeptness  at 
handling  foreign  affairs,  and  said 
that  the  Democrats  should  be 
"turned  out  like  an  old  horse,  to 
eat  grass  and  recover  from  its  ail- 
ments". Newhall  stood  up  for  the 
New  Deal,  pointed  to  Stevenson's 
impressive  record  as  Governor  of 
Illinois,  and  pleaded  for  the  elec- 
torate to  "demonstrate  that  it  can 
resist  an  emotional  appeal,  recog- 
nize the  issues,  and  vote  for  Ste- 
venson". 

Active  Campaigners 

Both  Professor  Burns  and  Pre- 
sident Baxter  have  been  actively 
drumming  up  support  for  their 
candidates.  President  Baxter  was 
insti-umental  in  getting  Eisenhow- 
er nominated  in  1952.  and  was  ex- 
pected by  many  to  step  into  a 
cabinet  position  after  Ike's  elec- 
tion. He  worked  with  Eisenhower 
during  the  war,  just  after  the  war, 
and  on  the  Service  Academy  Board 
in  1948-'49.  This  fall  he  is  the 
chairman  of  the  Education  Branch 
of  the  Committee  of  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences for  Eisenhower  i  "Eggheads 
for  Ike"  1 .  and  only  last  week  served 
as  toastmaster  for  a  labor  union 
dinner  in  Washington  at  which 
Eisenhower   spoke. 

Professor  Burns  was  a  delegate 
to  the  Democratic  National  Con- 
vention this  August,  where  he 
worked  for  Steven.son's  renomina- 
tion.  He  is  co-chairman  of  the 
Berkshire  County  Democratic  Or- 
ganization, and  is  very  active  in 
the  Massachusetts'  Americans  for 
Democratic  Action.  His  biography 
of  Fianklln  Delano  Roosevelt,  "The 
Lion  and  the  Fox"  has  been  on 
the  non-fiction  best  seller  list 
for  some  weeks  now.

Sunday,  Oct.  28  -  The  Roger 
Preston  Boom  and  the  Mather 
House,  two  recent  and  welcome  ad- 
ditions to  the  campus  facilities, 
were  formally  dedicated  this  af- 
ternoon before  audiences  number- 
ing approximately  75  persons.  Pre- 
sident James  P.  Baxter  3rd,  acted 
as  host  and  introduced  the  persons 
responsible  for  each  of  the  gifts.

22.  former  trustee  and  benefactor 
of  the  college.  The  handsome  room, 
w'here  students  may  gather,  smoke 
and  study  in  the  library,  was  the 
culmination  of  a  spontaneous  drive 
;unong  the  close  friends  and  as- 
sHClates  who  wished  to  honor  the 
memory  of  "a  rare  personality" 
who  had  done  so  much  for  the  col- 
lege. 

Mr.  Hemy  N.  Flynt.  Sr.,  chair- 
man of  the  Trustees'  Buildings  and 
Grounds  committee,  spoke  briefly 
on  the  history  of  the  Mather 
House,  which  will  be  the  college 
Honors  Center  beginning  this  week. 
Mr.  W.  Leroy  White  '06,  noted 
some  interesting  facts  concerning 
the  furnishings  of  the  home,  which 
the  college  obtained  through  a  be- 
quest of  his  late  wife. 

Preston  Room 

The  Roger  Preston  Room,  locat- 
ed near  the  old  cage  in  the  Stet- 
son library,  drew  many  favorable 
comments  from  the  honored 
guests.  A  portrait  of  the  late  Mr. 
Preston  dominates  the  east  wall 
of  the  room,  the  gift  of  his  fam- 
ily. Mrs.  Preston  and  her  three 
sons;  Mrs.  E.  Weber-Filip,  the  ar- 
tist who  did  the  portrait;  Mr. 
Olmsted  and  Mr.  Russell  M. 
Saunders,  the  men  who  directed 
the  drive;  and  other  donors  were 
in  attendance. 

Mr.  Baxter  brought  the  atten- 
tion of  the  audience  to  the  wood- 
work, the  gift  of  the  former  gov- 
ernor of  Rhode  Island,  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Vanderbilt.  The  room  was 
originally  in  a  house  in  England 
and  was  imported  and  placed  in  a 
home  which  Mr.  Vanderbilt's  mo- 
ther had  in  Newport,  R.I. 

Mather  House 

The  Mather  House,  located  next 
to  the  A.M.T.,  fulfills  a  heartfelt 
"desire  I've  had  for  twenty  years", 
according  to  President  Baxter.  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Henry  N.  Flynt,  Sr.,  di- 
rected the  renovation  of  the  home 
formerly  occupied  by  Prof.  Curry. 
Mr.  Flynt  placed  the  construction 
of  the  house  about  1790-95.  al- 
though records  seemed  to  indicate 
a  date  of  1830.  The  house  Is  nam- 
ed for  a  former  resident  of  the 
building.  Dewey  House,  at  the  base 
on  Consumption  Hill,  was  con- 
sidered for  the  project  but  "good 
fortune"  allowed  the  college  to  ob- 
tain the  present  building  last  year. 

The  wallpaper  is  copied  from 
Old  Deerfield  wallpaper,  and  the 
doorway  is  a  copy  of  a  door  in 
South  Williamstown.  One  of  the 
two  chimneys  is  false,  "probably 
to  keep  up  with  the  Joneses,"  ac- 
cording to  Mr,  Flynt, 

Guests 

Among  the  guests  were  all  de- 
partment heads,  friends  and  rela- 
tives of  Mr.  Preston,  and  several 
Tiustees.  These  included  the  Bax- 
ters, Flynts,  and  Foehls,  Mr. 
Charles  M.  Cutler  '21.  Tieasurer 
Emeritus,  and  Mrs.  Charles  D. 
Makepeace,  Mrs.  Roger  Preston, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Elwyn  O.  Preston 
I '261.  Mr.  Jerome  Preston,  Mr. 
Standish  T.  Bourne  '21.  Mr.  Ri- 
chard Rowse  '22,  Mr.  H.  Bigelow 
Emerson  16.  Mr.  Samuel  G. 
Brown,  Jr.,  '30,  Mr.  Russell  M. 
Sanders,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George 
Olmsted  Jr.,   ('24). 

College  chaplain  William  G. 
Cole  gave  the  invocation  and  bene- 
diction at  the  dedication  of  the 
Pre.ston  Room.  President  Baxter 
noted  that,  beginning  this  week, 
honors  seminars  in  English  and 
history  will  begin  to  use  the  Ma- 
ther House,  as  will  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  Society,

3.  Do  you  feel  that  a  more  active  emphaiiji  should  he  placed   choices

4.  In  what  ways  do  you  feel  that  Williunis  prepares  students 
to  face  the  problems  of  the  modern  world?  Is  this  an  adeipmtc 
preparation? 

These  are  the  questions  that  tlie  UECOHU  asked  Professor 
of  Relij^ion  John  Chandler  and  Clollege  Chaplain  William  Cra- 
ham  Cole  in  an  effort  to  determine  what  the  role  of  relitjion  should 
be  at  Williams.  The  general  feeling,  as  e.\|)ressed  in  the  answers 
below,  seems  to  be  that  the  student  has  the  ijersonal  responsibility 
to  determine  his  aims  in  life.  The  college  cannot  be  ex|)ected  to 
force-feecl  the  student  with  noble  and  lofty  values.  Wi'  pointed  out 
last  week  that  the  tragic  failure  of  the  Williams  student  is  his  re- 
luctance to  expose  himself  to  self-scrutiny.  This  week  we  might 
point  out  anotlier  tragedy.  Not  only  do  many  Williams  students 
fail  to  know  themselves;  the  Williams  society  stifles  most  real 
communication  between  students.  And  so,  in  many  cases,  we  can- 
not even  know  our  own  neighbors.  Reverend  Cole  mentioned  a 
"grey-flannel  facade"  in  his  sermon  last  Sunday.  Such  imagrv  aptlv 
clescribes  our  frequent  failure  to  "get  down  to  brass  tacks"  with 
our  "friends." 


One  observation  to  make  is  that  we  are  living  in  an  atmos- 
phere in  which  fellowship  is  the  result  of  legislation  rather  than 
any  spontaneous  desire  for  mutual  comuumication.  Our  frater- 
inities,  indeed  our  culture,  have  set  up  certain  accepted  jiatterns 
for  friendshij)  which  are  often  so  false  as  to  eradicate  the  original 
goal  of  community.  We  judge  others  as  symbols  rather  than  hu- 
mans. "He  is  a  'nail',  a  'rock',  an  'ace',  thus  a  'good  Guy'!  .  .  .  or 
he's  a  'turkey',  a  'toad',  a'loser',  thus  a  'bad  guy'.'  Add  to  this  racial 
and  su])erficial  prejudice  and  you  have  some  |5reftv  strong  imped- 
iments to  any  eommimity  that  might  be  called  genuine. 

These  comments,  if  exaggerated,  point  up  a  situation  which  is 
both  very  normal  and  very  alarming.  We  woidd  welcome  com- 
ments on  such  questions  as,  "What  are  the  bars  to  genuine  commu- 
nity at  Williams?"  .  .  .  "Do  students  actually  spend  four  years  here 
without  forming  any  real  aims  in  life?"  .  .  .  "Are  such  cpiestions 
worth  asking?"  A  newsijaper  should  be  a  foriun  in  which  ideas 
can  be  fairly  presented  and  discussed.  Only  if  readers  are  willing 
to  contribute  their  sentiniL-nts  can  this  ideal  be  approached. 

The  answers  to  the  (|uestions  which  preface  this  article  follow. 

Chandler  ... 

1.  Religion  speaks  to  anyone  who  asks  ultimate  questions,  and 
college  students  are  like  everyone  else  in  that  they  are  concerned 
with  these  questions.  Religion  speaks  to  anyone  who  is  jiassionately 
concerned  with  the  final  reasons  for  his  personal  existence,  or  who 
is  disturbed  about  the  gap  between  his  performance  and  his  aspira- 
tions, or  who  tries  to  square  the  inevitability  of  death  with  his  con- 
fidence that  life  has  a  significance  which  death  does  not  destroy, 
or  who  earnestly  seeks  ways  of  deliverance  from  his  plight  of  moriil 
frustration  and  defeat. 

One  can  play  with  these  questions  in  an  academic  way,  but 
they  become  religious  questions  only  when  one  wrestles  with  them 
out  of  a  sense  or  deep  personal  need.  This  sense  of  personal  need 
usually  arises  out  of  such  experiences  as  the  death  of  loved  ones, 
vocational  failure,  disappointment  in  love,  the  unfaithfulness  of 
friends,  or  the  loss  of  a  sense  of  meaning  and  purpose  in  what  one 
is  doing. 

Religion  lacks  depth  of  meaning  to  many  college  students 
because  they  have  had  few  of  the  kinds  of  experiences  mentioned 
above.  Death,  for  example,  is  usually  very  remote  as  a  personal 
concern  and  it  is  seldom  observed  by  a  young  person  in  oiu'  society. 
A  couple  of  generations  ago  grandpa  usually  drew  his  last  gasps 
of  breath  on  the  living  room  sofa  in  the  home  of  a  son  or  daughter 
and  before  the  eyes  of  the  grandchildren.  But  today  the  death 
scene  ordinarily  takes  place  in  the  sterile  room  of  a  hospital,  thus 
helping  to  assure  that  the  fact  of  death  will  afford  as  little  distur- 
bance as  possible  to  the  routine  of  the  living. 

In  brief,  serious  consideration  of  what  religion  has  to  offer 
depends  in  large  part  upon  a  process  of  maturation  brought  about 
by  taking  some  of  life's  lumps,  and  one's  pre-college  and  college 
years  are  better  protected  against  the  lumps  than  one's  post-college 
years  are  likely  to  be. 

Your  Aims  Are  Your  God 

2.  In  a  sense,  a  person's  aims  in  life  are  necessarily  the  product 
of  his  religion.  A  person's  aims  are  determined  by  his  values,  and 
his  values  are  what  he  ultimately  trusts  and  believes  in.  Luther  was 
profoundly  correct,  I  believe,  when  he  declared  that  "whatever 
your  heart  clings  to  and  confides  in,  that  is  really  your  God." 

As  to  whether  or  not  the  religion  taught  by  the  Church  helps 
students  to  determine  their  aims  in  life,  it  is  my  observation  that 
the  direct  influence  of  the  Church  in  this  area  is  negligible  except 
in  a  few  individual  cases. 

3.  The  program  of  religious  counseling  at  Williams  appears 
to  me  to  be  adequate,  and  by  comparison  with  other  institutions, 
our  situation  seems  to  me  to  be  excellent.  Tlie  work  of  the  Chap- 
lain is  augmented  by  the  availability  and  competence  of  local  min- 
isters. Moreover,  religious  coimseling  cannot  be  strictly  distin- 
guished from  other  kinds  of  counseling,  so  that  the  resources  of  the 
Chaplain,  the  deans,  the  psychiatrist,  and  faculty  members  are  all 
to  be  considered  in  answering  this  question. 

The  Williams  Preparation 

4.  A  basic  assumption  behind  the  program  of  Williams  —  or 
of  any  good  liberal  arts  college  —  is  that  the  modern  world  and  its 
problems  are  continuous  with  the  past  ages  and  their  problems, 
and  that  the  wisdom  which  served  the  past  will  be  relevant  to  the 
future.  I  think  that  Williams  prepares  students  for  the  problems 
of  the  modem  world  by  maintaining  a  solid  liberal  arts  program, 
and  that  this  is  the  best  kind  of  preparation  one  can  have.  Any 
school  which  makes  of  its  program  a  set  of  ad  hoc  prescriptions  for 
current  problems  and  demands  is  preparing  its  students  for  the 
kind  of  world  that  is  constantly  passing  away. 

5.  Any  liberal  arts  college  should  try  to  show  how  religious 
and  moral  values  are  tied  in  with  our  system  of  government,  our 
laws,  our  pattern  of  family  life,  and  other  features  of  our  culture. 
And  the  implications  for  our  whole  culture  of  denying  the  validity 
of  these  values  should  be  pointed  out.  But  as  an  educational  insti- 
tution I  do  not  believe  we  should  go  beyond  that. 


not  know  what  their  "religion"  is.  Students  are  inclined  to  regard 
themselves  as  agnostics  or  skeptics  with  resiH-ct  to  tlie  judao- 
Christian  tradition  in  particular  and  all  formal  religion  in  general. 
So  far  as  intellectual  coinmitnifuV  is  concerned,  this  is  not  only  a 
,  possible  position,  l)ut  may  in  many  respects  be  a  desirable()ne. 
!  ilowever,  one's  daily  existence  does  not  permit  suspendecl  judg- 
ment. One  nui.st  act,  decide,  ciioose  at  every  moment,  and  it  is  on 
the  basis  of  a  man's  religion  tiiat  those  ciioices  and  decisions  are 
made.  So  the  real  (|uestion  is  not  whether  one  will  be  religious, 
but  which  religion  will  direct  his  lite. 

The  reluctance  which  many  students  display  toward  commit- 
ment to  the.  Churcii  is  based  i)artlv  on  ignorance  and  misinider- 
standing  of  what  the  Bible  and  the  Christian  tiadition  really  have 
to  sav,  and  at  tiiis  point  they  are  \ery  sound  in  what  they  reject. 
But  their  coyness  is  based  partly  also  on  their  unwillingness  to 
surrender  their  autonomy  to  some  authority  outside  themselves, 
just  now,  the  horizons  of^  life  seem  limitless,  and  one's  oijportuni- 
ties  boundless.  Ten  years  from  now,  it  will  be  different,  and  at 
that  point,  the  Church  and  its  message  begins  to  become  much 
more  rele\  ant,  so  tliat  the  student  agnostic  of  today  becomes  the 
adult  pillar  of  the  chinch  tomorrow. 

Cultural  and  Spiritual  Crisis 
Meanwhile,  the  rei^resentatives  of  the  tradition  on  the  campus 
have  to  do  their  iiest  to  show  tiie  relevance  of  that  tradition  to  the 
individual's  jiersonal  ])roblenis  and  decisions  and  to  the  cultural 
and  spiritual  crisis  in  which  tlic  world  finds  itself  today.  In  the 
classroom,  teachers  of  religion  are  no  different  from  teachers  of 
English,  Philosophy,  Economics,  or  what  have  you.  They  have  a 
subject  matter  to  imiiart  to  tiic  students,  a  subject  about  which 
presumably  they  have  some  enthusiasm,  but  their  task  is  to  en- 
lighten, not  to  convert.  In  tiie  Chapel  and  the  extra-curricular  reli- 
gious activities,  the  goal  is  to  help  students  to  think  seriously  about 
their  life  choices  and  to  relate  themselves  seriously  to  the  cosmos 
and  to  their  fellow  inhabitants  of  the  jilanet.  Insofar  as  students 
are  receptive  to  thinking  and  to  asking  important  <|uestions,  and 
insofar  as  they  are  met  with  a  religious  jierspective  that  is  relevant, 
stimulating,  and  intellectually  resiiectable,  they  will  respond.  Sup- 
ply and  demand  are  closely  related  at  this  point,  and  as  the  de- 
mand grows  at  Williams,  the  sui)|ilv  keeps  ])ace.  Eight  years  ago, 
there  was  one  l^rofessor  of  l^eligion,  teaching  three  courses.  Next 
year  there  will  be  three  members  of  the  De])artniont,  offering  seven 
courses,  and  if  enrollment  and  interest  continue  to  grow  at  their 
present  rate,  further  exi^ansion  will  become  necessary. 
Williams  Education  Relevant 
The  preparation  which  Williams  offers  to  its  undergraduates 
for  "the  problems  of  the  modern  world"  is  as  adecpiatc  as  present 
circumstances  jiermit,  granting  that  professors  are  also  hnnian  be- 
ings who  are  perplexed  and  who  do  not  have  "all  the  answers". 
Whether  the  students  are  prepared  to  take  full  advantage  of  the 
opportunities  offered  is  another  (|uestion.  Any  student,  however, 
who  is  asking  the  right  tiuestions  about  the  modern  world  will 
find  here  much  that  is  relevant  nnd  belnfiil  ;is  b(>  gciiw  about  try- 
ing to  find  his  place  in  it. 

Whether  it  is  the  job  of  a  liberal  arts  college  to  attempt  to 
endow  its  students  with  moral  and  spiritual  values  is  a  much  dis- 
puted cpiestion  these  davs.  My  own  answer  is,  h()we\er,  clearly  in 
the  affirmative.  This  was  the  avowed  purpose  of  Mark  Hopkins,  as 
Professor  Rudolph  has  so  well  pointed  out  in  his  book.  1  tbink  a 
monolithic  structure  which  indoctrinates  one  point  of  view  is  to 
be  sedulously  avoided,  but  a  pluralistic  pattern,  where  the  student 
is  encouraged  to  choose  seriously  among  a  number  of  alternative 
values  is  highly  desirable.

A  GUIDE  FOR  THE  UNMONEYED 

R.  L.  Sigafoo.s  was  a  Veen,  ambitioiLs  lad,  and  when  he 
finished  high  school  he  wished  mightily  to  go  on  with  his 
education.  It  .seemed,  however,  a  forlorn  hope.  Crop 
failures  had  brought  his  father  to  the  brink  of  di.saster. 
(R.  L.'s  father  raised  date  palm.s  which,  in  North  Dakota, 
is  a  form  of  agriculture  fraught  with  risk.)  Nor  could 
R.  L.'s  mother  help;  she  had  grown  torpid  since  the  death 
of  Rudolph  Valentino. 

R.  L.  could  go  to  college  onl.v  if  he  worked  his  way 
through.   This  was  a  prospect  that  dismayed  him. 


,  I-  line  (enciit6  lei'ioiii  Ci  tk  J>c3rt  of  DbinefZ. . . 


Racked  with  mi.sgivings,  R.  L.  paced  the  streets,  pon- 
dering his  dilemma.  One  day,  walking  and  brooding,  he 
came  upon  a  park  bench  and  sat  down  and  lit  a  Philip 
Morris.  (There  is  no  occasion,  happy  or  sad,  pensive  or 
exuberant,  when  Philip  Morris  is  not  entirely  welcome, 
as  you  will  discover  when  you  go  to  your  favorite  tobacco 
counter  and  buy  .some.) 

R.  L.  was  suddenly  interrupted  by  a  small,  quavering 
voice  which  said,  "My  boy,  you  are  troubled.  Can  I  help?" 

Seated  beside  R.  L.  was  a  tiny,  gnarled  man  with 
wispy,  snow-white  hair.  His  skin  was  almost  tran.sparent, 
showing  a  delicate  tracery  of  fragile  bones  beneath.  His 
back  was  bent,  and  his  hands  trembled.  "Po  you  think, 
sir,"  .said  R.  L.,  "that  a  boy  can  work  his  way  through 
college  and  still  enjoy  a  rich,  full  campus  life?" 

"Why,  bless  you,  son,"  replied  the  stranger  with  a 
rheumy  chuckle,  "of  course.   In  fact,  I  did  it  myself." 

"Was  it  very  hard?"  asked  R.  L. 

"Yes,  it  was  hard,"  the  stranger  admitted.  "But  when 
one  is  young,  all  things  are  possible.  I,  for  example,  used 
to  get  up  at  five  o'clock  every  morning  to  stoke  the 
furnace  at  the  SAE  house.  At  six  I  had  to  milk  the  ewes 
at  the  school  of  animal  husbandry.  At  .seven  I  gave  a 
fencing  lesson  to  the  Dean  of  Women.  At  eight  I  had  a 
class  in  early  Runic  poets.  At  nine  I  gave  haircuts  at  the 
Gamma  Phi  Beta  house.  At  ten  I  had  differential  cal- 
culus. At  eleven  I  posed  for  a  life  class.  At  twelve  I 
watered  soup  at  the  Union.  At  one  I  had  a  class  in 
Oriental  languages.  At  two  I  exercised  the  mice  in  psych

"Sir,"  cried  R.  L.,  "I  am  moved  and  inspired  by  your 
shining  example!" 

"It  was  nothing,"  said  the  stranger  modestly,  shaking 
his  frail  white  head.  "It  was  just  hard  work,  and  hard 
work  never  hurt  anybody." 

"Would  you  mind  telling  me,  sir,"  said  R.  L.,  "how 
old  you  are  now?" 


"Twenty-two,"  said  the  stranger.

frosh  Gridders  Edge  by  Andover 
As  Stegeman  Leads  27-21  Win 


Aiidover,  Mass.,  Oct.  27  -  The 
Williams  Collet'e  freshman  foot- 
hull  team  continued  In  Its  win- 
niiiK  ways  by  defeatint'  a  highly 
touted  Andovei'  squad  here  today. 
Tho  Eph  yearlings,  tralUnK  by  a 
21 -'JO  score,  rallied  in  the  la.st 
three  minutes  to  win  a  hair  rais- 
ing 27-21  decl.slon.  The  team  was 
led  by  a  165  pound  streak  of 
lirhtnlnB  called  Bob  Stegeman. 
Tiic  Williams  fullback  gained  over 
l.iO  yards  on  the  ground. 

Williams  drew  first  blood  when 
SU'geman  ran  fifteen  yards  to  a 
touchdown  late  in  the  first  period. 


Tufts  Harriers  Take 
Eph   Varsity,   Plebes 

Saturday,  Oct.  27  -  A  better 
thiin  expected  Tufts  cross  country 
t  iim  nosed  out  the  Purple  varsity 
Inday  by  a  .score  of  25-30  before 
II  good-sized  houseparty  crowd. 
'J  he  Jumbo  freshman  squad  took 
;ui  even  closer  contest  from  the 
l-.ph  plebes,  winning  39-42. 

Swonger  and  Power  placed  one- 
iwo  for  Tvlis  in  the  varsity  af- 
f.iir,  Swonger  running  the  3  and 
ihree-quarter  mile  course  in  21:13. 
Co-captains  Jim  Hecker  and  Bill 
;■  X  took  third  and  fourth,  respec- 
tively, and  George  Sudduth,  Steve 
Carroll,  and  Dick  Clokey  also  fln- 
:sl.i\'  1 1  the  top  ten.  Elliott  Morss 
and  Charlie  McNaull,  top  men  for 
the  frosh  all  season,  finished  sec- 
ond and  third  in  the  freshman 
meet. 


The  extra  point  was  missed,  and 
this  almost  proved  to  be  the  decid- 
ins  point  of  the  game.  Early  in 
the  second  period  the  Ephmen 
scored  again  as  Stegeman  lan  08 
yards  behind  perfect  blocking  to 
give  William.s  a  13-0  margin.  How- 
ever, Andover  raced  back  in  a  sus- 
tained di  ive  to  bring  the  .score  back 
to  13-7. 

Smith   Catches    Pas-s 

Co-captaln  Sandy  Smith  caught 
a  beautiful  pass  from  quarterback 
Jim  Brigg.s  to  set  up  the  third  Wil- 
liams touchdown.  Bob  Rorke  bull- 
ed over  from  four  yards  out  to 
oring  the  half  time  score  to  a  com- 
fortable 20-7.  Andover  came  back 
■itrong  though  after  the  half  ano 
•icored  two  quick  touchdowns  to 
gain  a  21-20  lead. 

With  eight  minutes  left  to  go  in 
the  game,  the  Williams  frash  be- 
gan a  sustained  march  from  their 
own  forty  yaid  line.  They  cari'led 
the  ball  to  the  Andover  six  where 
a  fumble  lost  possession  for  the 
Ephmen  with  but  four  minutes  to 
go.  On  the  next  play,  however,  the 
Andover  halt  back  fumbled  and 
Williams  recovered.  Two  plays  later 
half  back  Jim  Ryan  went  over, 
and  the  Ephs  tucked  away  their 
second  victory  by  a   27-21  count. 

Coach  Prank  Navarro  cited  end 
Smith  along  with  Stegeman  as 
the  stand  out  players  in  the  game. 
Smith  made  two  fine  catches  of 
Briggs'  pa.sses  to  set  up  the  Wil- 
liams scores.  Aside  from  Stege- 
man' running  exploits,  the  Eph 
fullback  kicked  the  three  Williams 
extra  points. 


Head  Coaches  Offer 
Views  on  Tufts'  Win 

Walters,    Arlanson    Laud 
Potent    Jumbo    Eleven 


"We  got 


Saturday,    Oct.  27 
licked!" 

These  were  the  appropriate 
words  of  Coach  Len  Walters  in 
describing  the  fall  of  Williams 
football  from  the  ranks  of  the 
unbeaten.  Anyone  witnessing  the 
game  would  admit  readily  that 
the  Purple  squad  had  met  its  su- 
perior, and  Watters  was  the  first 
to  confirm  this  tact.  The  Eph 
:;oach  did  comment  that  "the  boys 
didn't  look  a.s  good  as  I  had  hop- 
-"d",  but  added  that  "he  did  not 
wish  to  take  anything  away  from 
1  great  Tufts  ball  team,  and  a 
wonderful  guy  and  coach,  Harry 
Arlanson."  Obviously  not  a  time 
'.o  press  Watters  for  a  comment 
on  the  future,  and  particularly  the 
outcome  of  the  Little  Three  this 
year,  it  appeared  from  just  the  in- 
flection of  the  aimiable  coach's 
voice,  that  Tufts  was  a  thing  of 
the  past,  and  that  nothing  could 
discourage  him  from  going  unde- 
feated for  the  rest  of  the  season. 

Contacted  immediately  follow- 
ing tiie  game.  Tufts  head  coach 
Harry  Arlanson  was,  with  tactful 
humility,  unquestionably  proud  of 
his  undefeated  .squad.  "We  have 
a  terrific  team,"  he  mumbled,  and 
then  with  a  self  conscious  smile  he 
added,  "How  can  any  coach  go 
wrong  with  ball  players  like  Wells 
and  Wright".  He  thought  that 
Williams  "hadn't  recovered  from 
its  letdown  last  week,"  and  that, 
"they  have  more  potential  than 
they  showed   this  afternoon".

Raynard,  Shea  Spark  Undefeated  Trinity 
To  4-1  Triumph  Over  Williams  Booters 

Saturday,  October  27  —  In  a  day  which  featured  battles  be- 
tween undefeated  soccer  and  football  squads,  Coach  Rov  Dath's 
powerful  Trinity  booters  overwhelmed  the  Cliaffeemen,  4-1,  on 
Cole  Field  this  morning.  Trinity  displayed  greater  hustle  and  used 
their  lieading  and  passing  to  greater  advantage  than  did  the  Piuple 
to  maintain  their  perfect  record. 

Although  Trinity  was  in  Eph  territory  most  of  the  first  quar- 
ter, they  could  not  |)enetrate  through  the  good  defense  set  up  by 
'  Mike  Baring-Gould,  Jim  Hutchin-

son,  Ricli  Lombard,  Ken  Bawden, 
and  particularly  goalie  Joclc  Purcell 
wlio  stopped  many  potential  goals 
in  this  period.  Williams  was  in 
Trinity  zone  mucli  of  the  second 
period  but  also  couldn't  score. 
Patterson  Opens   Scoring 

Williams  opened  the  scoring  in 
the  third  period  when  Co-Captain 
Howie  Patterson  tallied  on  a  pass 
from  Baring-Gould,  but  Ti'inity 
bounced  right  back  on  a  scoring 
shot  by  outstanding  inside  John 
Shea.  Co-Captain  Doug  Raynard 
scored  the  second  Trinity  goal  on 
his  rebound  shot.  His  goal  followed 
a  near  goal  for  Williams  which 
bounced  off  the  goal  post. 

Williams  utilized  a  fast  break 
throughout  the  second  half  but 
was  unable  to  take  advantage  of  its 
scoring  opportunities.  The  hustling 
Trinity  booters  capitalized  on  most 
of  its  breaks  so  in  the  fourth  peri- 
od Raynard  and  Shea  teamed  up  to 
score  the  final  goals  in  the  con- 
test. 

Williams  starting  lineup  of  Pur- 
cell, Cuiran,  Lum,  Hutchinson, 
Bawden,  Lombard,  Kimball,  Bar- 
ing-Gould, Patterson,  Quinson, 
and  Towne,  played  better  than  the 
score  would  indicate.  They  were  in 
Trinity  territory  about  half  the 
game  but  could  not  score.

by  C.  Lasell,  D.  Sims 

Saturday,  Oct.  27  —  It  was  the 
third  quarter  in  this  afternoon's 
all-important  Tufts- Williams  foot- 
ball game  between  two  unbeaten 
teams  before  Eph  fans  rose  to  sing 
their  beloved  touchdown  song 
"Yard  by  Yard."  At  this  point, 
however,  Whitey  Kaufman's  nine 
yard  sweep  had  little  effect  on  the 
game's  outcome  as  the  scoreboard 
read  a  grim  34-0.  For  the  first  time 
this  year,  Williams  had  met  its  su- 
perior on  the  gridiron.  From  the 
opening  kickoff,  the  huge,  agile 
Tufts  line  ovei-whelmed  the  Eph 
forward  wall  to  make  way  for  the 
visitor's  high-powered  running  at- 
tack, featuring  Dave  Wells,  Norm 
Wright  and  Paul  Abrahamiam, 
which  netted  392  yards  and  six 
touchdowns. 

Using  a  tight  6-3-2  defense,  the 
Jumbos  held  Williams  to  a  mere  57 
yaids  on  the  ground.  Led  by  guard 
Lou  Rigano,  and  mammoth  tackles 
George  Kurker  and  Marty  Roth,  at 
240  and  260  pounds  respectively. 
Tufts  bottled  up  the  Eph  runners, 
who,  in  their  first  four  games,  had 
averaged  nearly  400  yards  in  each 
contest.  Williams  was  only  effec- 
tive in  the  air,  completing  15  of  34 
passes  for  270  yards. 

Jumbos  Take  Quick  Lead 

A  clipping  penalty,  a  recovered 
fumble,  and  a  roughing  the  kicker 
penalty  gave  Tufts  the  breaks  it 
needed  to  capitalize  on  for  a  20-0 
half  time  lead.  After  a  clipping  pen- 
alty had  pushed  the  Ephs  back  to 
their  one  yard  line  early  in  the 
first  quarter,  irutts  took  the  re- 
sulting punt  on  the  24  and  moved 
goalwai'd.  Wells,  by  far  the  out- 
standing back  on  the  field  with  a 
total  of  208  yards  in  fifteen  carries, 
sliced  off  tackle  for  five.  Abraham- 
iam then  carried  on  two  succes- 
sive plays  to  give  Tufts  a  first 
down  on  the  Williams  9.  From  here 
Wells,  on  a  quick  opener,  went  into 
the  end  zone  untouched  for  the 
first  of  his  three  scores. 

Pinching  the  guards,  as  Bowdoin 
had  done  so  effectively  last  week, 
the  Jumbos  forced  Williams  to 
fumble  after  the  Ephs  had  moved 
to  the  Tufts  27.  From  here  Wells 
swept  left  end  for  26  yards  to  the 
Eph  43.  On  the  next  play,  reserve 
half  back  Joe  Crowley  trippeci  his 
way  down  the  left  sideline  for  the 
second  score. 

Purple  Takes  to  tlie  Air 

Following  the  kickoff,  Williams 
took  to  the  air  in  an  attempt  to 
get  back  into  the  game.  For  just  a 
second  it  appeared  they  had.  Bob 
Appleford  completed  three  out  of 
five  passes  to  move  the  ball  to  the 
Tufts  25,  where  Marv  Welnstein, 
replacing  Appleford,  threw  a 
fourth  down  intercepted  pass.  The 
Jumbos  were  given  a  first  down  on 
their  own  42  following  a  roughing 
the  kicker  infraction.  A  42  yard 
Ralph  Thompson  to  Dick  Fortin 
pass  set  up  Thompson's  2  yard 
touchdown  plunge  and  Tufts  had 
all  but  insured  its  fourth  straight 
victory. 

Any  remaining  Williams  hopes 
were  dimmed  with  the  start  of  the 
second  half  as  the  visitors  regis- 
tered two  quick  scores.  Wells  and 
Dave  Pox  tallied  for  the  Jumbos  on 
15  and  30  yard  runs  respectively. 
After  Kaufman  accounted  for  the 
Eph's  first  touchdown,  the  Tufts 
first  returned  to  the  game.  The  re- 
sult was  Wells'  sensational  99  yard 
gallop  which  thrilled  the  large 
Houseparty  crowd.  This  brought 
the  score  to  40-6  and  only  two  last 
minute  touchdowns  by  the  Eph 
third  team  against  Tufts  substitu- 
tions brought  a  bit  of  respectability 
to  the  final  40-20  score.

Thanksgiving  reservations  are

this  year,  but  Moxiey  cautioned 
that  reservations  for  all  holidays 
must  be  made  tar  in  advance.  Al- 
ways trying  to  improve  its  ser-

more  hotels  in  New  York  and  Bos-

firmed through  the  student  ser-

Culman  Plans  Revue 
For  Winter  Carnival 


Bullock  to  Write  Music; 
AMT  to  Finance  Show 


Saturday,  Oct.  27  -  At  a  meet- 
ing in  a  fourth-floor  West  College 
room  last  night,  plans  were 
launched  for  an  all-college  revue 
to  be  produced  during  Winter  Car- 
nival. Director  Peter  Culman.  who 
produced  the  highly  successful 
Freshman  Revue  last  spring,  is 
"very  optimistic"  about  thLs  revival 
of  student-written  musical  come- 
dies at  Williams,  which  haven't 
been  produced  here  for  over  five 
years. 

Culman,  presently  conducting  a 
search  for  talent,  emphasized  that 
anyone  Interested  Is  needed  for  the 
show,  no  matter  how  talented  he 
may  be. 

Assisting  him  Is  a  committee 
compased  of  seniors  Steve  Bullock 
and  Bob  Leinbach;  Junior  Charlie 
Qilchrist;  sophomore  Dave  Hel- 
Prin;  and  freshman  Ted  Castle. 
Members  of  the  committee  'will  see 
those  lnterest,ed  in  working  for  the 
show  In  their  social  units  at  the 
end  of  the  week. 

Composer  of  the  catchy  score 
for  last  year's  freshman  produc- 
tion, Jack  Bullock,  has  agreed  to 
write  music.  The  Cap  and  Bells 
is  financing  the  project.

Eleven   Listed  in  Advertisement 

Only  11  of  the  23  Williams  mem- 
bers were  listed  in  full-page  ad- 
vertisements which  appeared  in 
metropolitan  newspapers  last  Mon- 
day. A  notation  on  the  advertise- 
ment explained  that  space  limita- 
tions required  omission  of  several 
bundled  names.  Members'  affilia- 
oiuns  were  llsied  for  identification, 
with  an  explanation  that  this  did 
not  signify  an  endor.sement  by 
their  institutions. 

Dr.  Baxter  pointed  out  that 
CASE  was  organized  last  July  by 
a  group  of  artists,  scientists,  and 
educators.  Many  hundreds  of  mem- 
bers have  Joined  to  endorse  Pre- 
sident Eisenhower's  leadership  and 
the  major  achievements  and  goals 
of  his  program.

Pres.  Baxter  Favors  Eisenhower  As  Prof.  Burns 
Opposes  In  Adelphic  Union  Debate  In  Chapin  Hall 


By  Mack  Hassler 

Wednesday,  Oct.  31  -  Before  a 
near  capacity  crowd  in  Chapin 
Hall  this  evening  two  faculty  mem- 
bers assisted  by  two  students  pre- 
.sented  a  "debate  of  surprises"  on 
the  topic,  "The  Elsenhower  Ad- 
ministration should  be  returned  to 
office".  Representing  the  affirma- 
tive were  President  James  P.  Bax- 
ter. Ill  and  Dave  Phillips;  oppos- 
ing them  were  Prof.  James  M. 
Burns  and  Ame  Carlson. 

One  in  a  long  tradition  of  pre- 
election debates  at  Williams  this 
formal  disagreement  between  Pro- 
fessors and  students  was  termed 
by  John  Struthers,  chairman,  as 
a  true  sign  of  the  Liberal  Arts 
College  and  of  Democracy. 

Bums  Speaks 

Prof.  Bums  was  the  first  to 
speak.  Before  "taking  up  the  bat- 
tle" he  warmly  saluted  his  dis- 
tinguished opponent  to  draw  the 
first  of  numerous  volleys  of  spon- 
taneous applause. 

After  thus  winning  the  first  fa- 
vors of  an  eager  audience  he  quick- 
ly moved  to  what  proved  to  be  the 
major  issue  of  the  debate;  what 
he  called  a  "lack  of  creativity"  in 
the  present  administration.  The 
other  side  of  this  coin  was  termed 
by  Mr.  Baxter  later  as  a  "sureness 
of  grasp  and  leadership "  on  the 
part  of  President  ELsenhower. 

Hand-me-downs 

Burns  pointed  out  that  "all  Ike's 
policies      were      hand-me-downs 


administrations"  and  that  this  lack 
of  creativity  has  been  submerged 
in  a  "general  optimLsm  and  ami- 
able good  cheer".  This  he  con- 
trasted with  the  vision  of  the  De- 
mocratic party. 

His  second  major  argument  was 
against  Richard  M.  Nixon  whom 
he  called  "the  boy  with  the  bag  of 
tricks  and  the  freshly  starched  Lit- 
tle Lord  Fauntleroy  suit".  Amid 
the  ensuing  chuckles  he  took  his 
seat  leaving  an  argument  of  two 
well  presented  points:  1)  Ike's 
failure  to  act  and  2>  Nixon's  in- 
adequacy. 

"Old  War  Horse" 

President  Baxter's  opening   re- 
from  the  Roosevelt  and  Tiumanmark  was  that  Prof.  Burns  had 


.Saturdav,   Nov.   3  -  With   the  arri\al   of  nearly  .500   parents, 

guests    and    well-wishers    on    the   Williams   College    caiiipus,    the 

hiiirth  aiimial  Freslmiaii  l^ireiits"  Dav  got  under  way  this  morning. 

Following  registration  at  l)a.\ter  Hall,  the  \isiters  attended  regular 

ireshiiiaii   classes   this  iiioriiiiig.   Some  coiiferretl  by   appointment 

with  instructors  ami  aiKisors  behire  retiring  to  the  .'\liiiniii  House

Parents  of  freshmen  have  come 

from  nineteen  different  states  a- 
ound  the  nation,  .some,  like  Harry , 
L.  iBing)  C;o.sby.  attending  from 
as  tar  away  as  California.  Other 
areas  represented  include  Wash- 
ington. D.C.,  Illinois,  New  York, 
Michigan,  Kansas,  Ohio,  New  Jer- 
sey. Mas.sachusetts,  Connecticut, 
ennsylvania.  New  Hampshire, 
Delaware,  Maine,  Maryland,  Texas, 
Kentucky.  Indiana,  and  Rhode  Is- 
land. Over  190  freshmen  have  par- 
enis  and  guests  in  Williamstown 
enjoy  this  opportunity  to  be- 
comci  a  part  of  the  Williams  fam- 
ily. 

Frosh  Meet  RPI 

At  1:30  the  band  will  start  its 
march  from  the  Williams  Inn  past 
the  Freshman  quad  and  down 
Spring  Street.  The  visitors  -will 
join  in  and  move  to  Weston  Field 
for  a  football  game  between  the 
fieshman  teams  of  RPI  and  Wil- 
liams. The  1960  Eph  squad  has 
swept  away  all  opposition  thus  far 
in  the  campaign,  and  this  contest 
should  provide  a  fine  example  of 
the  brand  of  football  being  played 
in  New  England  frosh  circles.  The 
remainder  of  the  afternoon  will  be 
spent  touring  the  campus  and  ac- 
quainting the  visitors  with  the 
Williamstown  area. 

About  700  people  will  be  served 
steak  dinners  at  the  annual  Par- 
ents' Day  Banquet  tonight  in  Bax- 
ter Hall.  This  figure  includes  436 
out-of-town  guests  compared  to 
418  who  attended  last  year.  In  an 
effort  to  give  parents  more  time  to 
meet  and  converse  with  faculty 
and  junior  advisors,  the  banquet 
will  be  served  at  specified  tables, 

Rudolph  To  Speak 

Immediately  following  dinner,  a 
speaking  program  will  be  presented

advisors  before  relinquishing  the 
podium  to  college  Council  Presi-

Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  Both  the  Re- 
publican and  Democratic  stale  or- 
ganizations carried  their  cam- 
paigns to  Western  Massachusetts 
yesterday  when  Senators  Leverett 
Saltonstall  and  John  Kennedy  ad- 
dressed major  party  rallies  in 
Pittsfield  and  Adams  respectively. 

Saltonstall,  speaking  at  a  meet- 
ing in  the  North  Junior  High 
School,  argued  for  President  Ei- 
senhowei's  reelection  as  well  as 
for  the  election  of  all  Republican 
candidates  for  state  and  local  of- 
fice. Governor  Christian  Herter. 
who  is  retiring  from  political  life 
after  his  current  term  expires,  urg- 
ed the  election  of  Sumner  Wliit- 
tier  as  his  successor. 

Herter  Nominated  Nixon 

Saltonstall,  an  original  leader  in 
the  movement  to  nominate  Eisen- 
hower in  1952  has  been  closely  al- 
lied with  the  administration's  for- 
eign and  military  policies.  Herter 
achieved  national  prominence 
when  Harold  Stassen  suggested 
that  he  replace  Nixon  as  the  Re- 
publican Vice-Presidential  candi- 
date. Herter  rejected  Stassen's  pro- 
posal and  delivered  the  nominating 
speech  for  Nixon  at  the  Republi- 
can National  Convention.  It  has 
been  rumored  that  Herter  is  in  line 
for  an  ambassadorial  position  in 
the  event  of  Eisenhower's  reelec- 
tion. 

Senator  Kennedy,  appearing  at 
Plunkctt  Junior  High  School, 
spoke  in  behalf  of  the  entire  Dem- 
ocratic ticket.  He  particularly  ad- 
vocated the  election  of  Stevenson 
for  President  and  Foster  Furcolo 
for  Governor. 

Kennedy  Achieves  Prominence 

Kennedy  has  had  a  meteoric  rise 
in  politics  since  defeating  Henry 
Cabot  Lodge  Jr..  for  the  Senate  in 
1952  despite  the  fact  that  Eisen- 
hower easily  carried  the  state.  He 
has  acquired  a  reputation  for  po- 
litical courage  and  statesmanship 
which  prompted  many  Democrats 
to  support  him  for  the  Democratic 
Vice-Presidential  nomination.  Af- 
ter Kennedy  made  a  favorable  im- 
pression with  his  nominating 
speech  for  Adlai  Stevenson,  the 
movement  to  nominate  him  for 
the  Vice-Presidency  received  add- 
ed impetus  and  was  barely  headed 
by  the  supporters  of  Senator  Ke- 
fauver. 

Kennedy's  popularity,  especially 
among  women  and  Catholic  voters, 
has  been  vigorously  exploited  by

Berkshire    Art   Exhibition 


By  Robert  Leinbach 

When  I  journeyed  to  the  Pittsfiekl  Mu.seum  on  Tue.sday  witli 
tlie  Art  S103  cla.ss  and  Professor  Faison,  1  e.xpected  to  l)e  con- 
fronted with  scores  of  saccharine  versions  of  provincial  iimple 
liills,  autumn  leaves,  and  winter  landscapes.  What  the  fifth  an- 
nual Berkshire  Art  Association  exhibition  turned  out  to  be  was 
a  very  e.xciting  array  of  works  by  contemiiorary  artists  dwelling; 
from  Canaan,  Connecticut,  to  Nlanchester,  Vermont,  and  some 
distance  into  New  York  State. 

Colors  and  techniques  are  of  as  wide  a  range  as  the  subjects 
in  the  seventy  paintings  hung.  Tliey  range  from  iialettes  limited 
to  two  colors  to  the  most  brilliant,  and  perhaps  obno.xions  com- 
binations you  have  ever  seen.  One  of  the  inore  exciting  color  ap- 
plications has  been  executed  by  Daniel  Shapiro,  now  at  Benning- 
ton College,  in  a  work  entitled  Beetle  Combat.  Impasto,  sand, 
burlap,  and  shredded  wheat  are  used  for  textural  interest  in  a 
few  entries,  often  with  considerable  success.  And  in  keejiing  with 
such  varied  mechanical  means  are  the  varieties  of  subject  mat- 
ter. Prize-winning  Winter  on  Route  7  supports  the  New  England 
atmosphere,  but  is  confronted  on  all  sides  by  considerations  of 
In-Sced-at-Zero,  View  from  Jump-Off,  Cooling!,  Out,  Diunoiuil 
Thrust,  and  happily,  The  Old  Appletree.  The  six  nieces  of  sculp- 
tme  shoviai  include  one  by  our  own  Priscilla  Ward,  the  only  Wil- 
liamstown entry. 

Among  this  collection  of  seventy  paintings  are  some  that  are 
very  bad,  and  many  that  are  just  inconsequential,  but  there  are 
approximately  ten  that  are  quite  sensitive  and  rewarding  for 
which  a  trip  to  the  Pittsfiekl  Museum  would  not  be  misspent. 
Prices  range  from  $25  to  $800,  and  the  exliibition  lasts  until  No- 
vember 11th.  Bring  your  savings  along.

Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  Next  Tuesday,  November  (i,  thi'  American 
people  will  choose  the  leaders  of  this  eountrv  lor  the  next  lour 
years.  Although  the  majority  of  students  at  Williams  are  not  okl 
enough  to  cast  ballots,  there  exists  on  the  campus  vigorous  in- 
terest in  the  political  campaign  and  the  issues  iinolved.  Maiiiles- 
tations  of  this  healthv  atmosphere  exhibit  themseK'cs  in  political 
affiliations,  debates,  and  more  uiii\i'rsallv,  iulorin:il  conversation. 
.Most  outstanding  among  the  concrete  aelivc  eoulributions  ;uc 
definitely  the  two  partv  organizations  on  campus,  the  ^'oung  He- 
publican  Club  and  the  Young  Democrats  of  XVilliams.  In  \iew  ol 
the  significance  of  the  politieid  stimulation  which  these  groups 
have  aroused,  the  Wll.LlA.MS  RECORD  feels  it  appropriate  that 
mention  be  made  of  the  1956  activities  of  each. 

The  Yoimg  ]:)ein()crats  of  Williams  College  was  organizi'd  two 
vears  ago  in  1954  in  conjunction  with  Democratic  students  ol  Beii- 
niiigtou  College.  Since  then,  the  group  has  seen  its  membership 
doubled  from  15  to  a  present  total  of  30  jjarticipiuits.  The  execu- 
ti\e  board,  now  coni|)osed  of  fi\'e  senior  charter  members,  is  led 
by  Arne  ("arlsou  '57,  President,  and  Jim  Norton,  '57,  Secietarv. 
Sfu  Auerbach  and  Tony  Smith  however,  are  handling  this  fall's 
campaign. 

The  major  contributions  of  the  Yoimg  Democrats  this  Fall 
ha\'e  rcNolved  around  campaigns  to  encourage  the  consciousness 
and  registration  of  area  voters.  In  general,  the  group's  utility  is 
as  a  shock  troop  for  general  aid.  Thus  far,  the  intensilied  liekl  of 
action  has  been  in  Adams,  Mass.,  where  in  eooi)er:ition  with 
.\dams  High  girls  and  a  teacher.  Miss  l.ueia  Morris,  :i  five-night 
door-to-door  registration  dri\'e  was  recentlv  undertaken.  The  K|)h- 
men,  helped  particularlv  bv  Freshman  members,  were  luruished 
with  lists  of  unregistered  voters  bv  the  Adams  Town  Democratic 
Committee.  Unofficial  word  was  received  that  although  voting 
sign-u|)s  declined  throughout  the  state,  .\dams  witnessed  a  regis- 
tration inerea.se  over  the  19.52  total. 

Another  scene  of  ])olitieal  aetivitv  was  the  (iciierid  Kleelric 
plant  in  Pittsfiekl  last  Fridav  morning.  Fifteen  Democrats,  led  bv 
Professor  James  M.  Burns,  arose  before  dawn  to  distribute  liter- 
ature to  the  morning  shift  of  6500  men.  In  spite  ol  doubt  that 
nianv  will  change  their  xotes.  the  executi\c  board  bcliexcd  that 
the  worker's  consciousness  of  their  duty  to  \()te  w;is  Imthered. 

Other  iirojects  ha\e  included  sound  truck  duty  at  loe;d  shop- 
ping centers  during  the  busy  e\euings.  Tonv  Smith's  c;u',  e(|uipped 
with  loudspeaker,  alternatelv  blares  nuisic  iuid  plugs  lor  the  ticket, 
while  leaflets  are  distributed  among  the  shoppers.  In  \\'illi;uns- 
town  itself,  the  Young  Democrats  have  limited  activities  to  en- 
rolling new  members  and  reactivating  old  warriors.  The  belief  is 
prevalent  in  the  organization  that  its  efforts  should  be  portioned 
more  favorably  toward  the  voting  public.  The  Spring  Street  head- 
((uarters  is  staffed  for  the  most  part  bv  the  \ViIli:uustown  Steven- 
son Committee.  On  election  day,  students  and  automobiles  will  be 
mobilized  as  assistance  to  voters. 

,\cting  as  spokesman  for  the  Young  Democrats,  Tony  Smith 
'57  believes  that  the  work  this  tall  has  been  "highly  satisf;ictory". 
The  aims  in  these  last  weeks  is  to  elect  as  many  Democrats  as 
possible.  For  the  students  themselves,  as  much  an  opportunity  as 
possible  is  presented  to  give  them  contact  with  active  politics- 
working  with  men  seeking  office  :md  the  voters  themselves.  De- 
bates and  lectures  are  pknined  for  t!ie  off  V'vu'K 

The  Young  Republican  Clid)  of  Williams  College  was  found- 
ed by  Joe  Young  and  Rich  Schneider  in  the  Fidl  of  1955,  after  be- 
ing granted  a  charter  and  Constitution  by  the  Rei)ublieau  Com- 
mittee of  Ma.ssachusetts.  The  membership  at  formation  point  was 
twenty-five,  and  this  figure  has  continually  grown  to  a  present 
total  of  60  card-carrying  Re]5ublieans.  many  of  whom  eire  active 
participants. 

The  position  of  attack  this  Fall  for  the  Young  Re])ul)lieans  has 
centered  for  the  most  |)art  in  Williamstown.  The  group  has  coo|)- 
erated  with  the  Town  Republican  Committee  in  coordinating  its 
records  and  reports  on  registration,  assisted  with  mailing  and  sec- 
retarial work.  The  college  chapter,  in  other  activities,  has  donated 
$100  to  the  town  organization,  has  taken  shifts  in  working  at  Re- 
publican head((uarters,  and  aided  in  the  group  works  in  close 
connection  with  the  Republican  Club  of  Williamstown, 

Young  Republicans  are  urging  all  those  Republicans  who 
can  drive  to  pledge  their  services  and  their  cars  for  any  hours 
from  8:00  a.m.— 8:00  p.m.  on  election  day  in  order  to  bring  out 
the  vote.  There  will  be  notices  jilaced  in  each  of  the  fraternity 
houses  on  which  those  who  wish  to  hel)5  drive  voters  to  the  |5olls 
can  sign  up. 

According  to  President  Joe  Y'oung  '58,  activities  have  included 
assistance  for  the  Ike  Bandwagon  on  its  visit  to  Williamstown  and 
North  Adams  earlier  in  the  Fall,  filing  cards  and  records  of  politi- 
cal affiliations  for  the  Town  Committee,  aiding  in  the  door-to-door 
appeal  for  registration,  distributing  literatiue  in  suijpoit  of  local 
G.O.P.  candidates,  iiarticijiatng  in  debates  against  members  of 
the  Young  Democrats  concerning  campaign  issues,  and  generally 
coordinating  activities  with  the  Town  group. 

Not  all  the  aims  of  the  Williams  YR  Club  have  been  realized, 
jiossibly  because  they  were  too  big.  A  giant  rally  was  planned  but 
the  National  Committee  was  unable  to  arrange  the  s|)eakers  that 
were  desired,  and  a  substitute  meeting  became  unacceptable. 
However,  in  the  hard,  insignificant  book  and  leg  work,  the  Yoimg 
Republicans  have  excelled,  and  the  dividends  of  their  efforts  can 
be  found  late  on  the  eve  of  November  6  .  .  .    they  hopel 

The  ideals  which  the  Young  Reimblicans  have  attempted  to 
enforce  upon  the  voters  includes  these  campaigns  points:  The  ad- 
ministration that  Dwight  Ei.senhower  has  brought  to  Washington 
is  one  of  honesty,  leadership,  harmony,  and  dignity  which  is 
foimded  on  principle  rather  than  exijediency.  The  Eisenhower 
administration  stands  for  a  United  States  made  strong  by  the  ef- 
forts of  all  individiuils,  not  by  the  efforts  of  the  government  pay- 
ing the  people  for  doing  nothing  .  .  .  The  Gop  has  faith  :md 
hope  in  the  people  of  America  to  stand  on  their  own  two  feet.

I  met  a  man  with  a  rather  large  head 
Who  looked  at  me  and  finally  said: 

"If  ever  you're  caught 
Without  any  thought 
And  you  think  that  you  ought 
To  be  thinking  a  thought, 
Buy  one  from  me  before  it's  too  late 
Thoughts  for  today,  only

"A  reasonable  price,"  I  said  and  bought 
The  following  brainy,  thoughtful  thought"?

Academy,  however,  has  not  shown 
much  this  fall,  suffering  lo.s.ses

will  make  the  trip.  Georse  Sud-

How  to  get  off 

to  a  flying  start 


^ 


The  way  to  keep  moving  in  free-and- 
easy  comfort  is  to  start  with  Arrow 
underwear.  This  popular  Arrow 
Tee  Shirt  and  Guards  won't  bind  or 
chafe,  won't  sag.  \\hcn  you  consider 
their  fine-spun  fabric  and  their  perfect

Purple  Looks  For  Fifth  Victory; 
Faces  Upset-Minded  Union  Away 

hi/  C.lnick  Diiiikcl 

Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  The  VVillianis  xar.sity  football  team  will  he 
sc'ckinj;  its  fifth  \ictory  of  the  .season  when  the  Kphincn  take  the 
field  ajiaiusi  a  strong  Union  team  in  Sfhenectady,  N.  V.  After  wiu- 
»iug  their  first  four  j^auies,  the  Eplis  were  outclassed  by  a  ffcat 
Tufts  outfit  last  Saturday,  and  today's  game  will  demonstrate 
how  well  the  l""ph]ueu  can  recover  from  such  a  decisive  defeat. 
This  will  be  the  final  non-league  game  for  (Joach  I.en  Walter's 
squad,  which  faces  Wesleyan  and  Amherst  in  the  final  two  con- 
tests. 

Union  brings  a  .3-2  record  into  the  contest,  including  a  20-7 
victory  over  previously  unbeaten  Hobart  last  weekend.  The  Dutch 
men  have  beaten  U.  of  Vermont  and  l\Pl,  while  losing  to  Amherst 
and  Hoclu'ster.  Coach  Sam  Hammevsfroni's  squad  uses  the  split-T 
formation,  flanking  very  little,  and  includes  a  power  series  and  a 
belly  series  in  their  offense.  The  Ciarnet  attack  is  led  by  Dick 
l^oiuisburv,  a  versatile  halfback  who  can  also  play  fullback,  and  by 
Roger  Olson,  a  hard  running  200  lb.  fullback,  (jlson  is  die  Club's 
leading  scorer  and  handles  the  ])untiug  duties,  while  l.ounsbury  is 
the  team  leader  in  yards  rushing.  Hounding  out  the  backfield  are 
Ed  Janulionis  at  ((uarterback  and  Don  Root,  the  leader  in  total 
offense,  at  the  other  halfback.  Left  end  Re.x  Sawyer  leads  the  big 
Union  line,  which  averages  over  200  lbs. 

Epli  Line-tij)  I  'ncciiain 

Coach  Len  Watters  was  undecided  about  Williams  starting 
line-ui)  for  today's  game  when  this  article  was  written,  but  he 
said  tliat  diere  would  |)r()bably  be  some  changes  from  die  line-up 
he  used  against  Tufts.  The  Eplimen  will  be  at  full  strength  for 
this  game,  with  the  exception  of  Dick  Kearon  and  Flit/.  Winegar- 
ner.  Fearon  is  still  out  with  the  knee  injury  he  suffered  in  the  Mid- 
dlebnry  game,  while  Wiiiegarner  injured  his  leg  against  Tufts.  Last 
season  Union  upset  Williams  14-6.

DROP  IN  FOR  A  SNACK 


By   Dick  Davis 


Wednesday,  Oct.  31  -  In  a  meet 
that  was  nearly  postponed  because 
of  a  steady  drizzle,  the  Mt,  Her- 
mon cross  country  team  downed 
the  Williams  freshman  runners  by 
a  score  of  23-32  on  the  Purple 
course, 

Dave  Williams  of  Mt.  Hermon 
finished  first  with  a  time  of  15:08, 
beating  Eph  Charlie  McNaull  by 
twenty-four  seconds.  Buzz  Morss, 
usually  first  for  Williams,  finished 
three  seconds  behind  McNaull,  The 
next  seven  finishers  were  all  Mt. 
Hermonites,  wrapping  up  the  meet. 

The  three  other  Purple  frosh 
who  figured  in  the  scoring  were 
Marshall  Lapidus,  who  captured 
tenth.  Cotton  Plte  at  fourteenth, 
and  Livingston  Cole  at  fifteenth. 
Bob  Garland.  Tim  Coburn,  and 
Bob  Dunn  also  finished  for  Wil- 
liams, but  only  the  top  five  posi- 
tions were  counted. 


AD's  face  Either  Beta, 
DU  to  Decide  Winner 


Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  With  the 
start  of  November,  tall  intermurals 
enter  their  last  week.  Because  of 
the  excellent  weather,  the  finals 
of  both  the  touch  football  and 
tennis  tournaments  should  be 
completed  In  the  near  future. 

In  touch  football,  the  AD's  went 
undefeated  in  nine  games  to  take 
one  division  and  move  into  the  fi- 
nals. Closely  behind  them  were  the 
Chi  Psl's  and  the  Berkshires,  with 
one  and  two  losses  lepectively.  The 
Betas  seem  headed  for  the  other 
division  title,  though  a  loss  to  the 
Zetas  in  their  postponed  game 
could  result  in  a  tie,  with  the  DU's 
playing  the  Betas  for  a  right  to 
meet  the  AD's.  The  Zetas  have 
clinched  third  with  only  two  loss- 
es, but  cannot  move  higher,  even 
with  a  victory  over  Beta. 

In  tennis,   the  AD's   meet  the 

St.   A's  in    the  semi-finals  with 

the  winner  playing  the  victor  In 

the   other   semi-final   match  be- 

I   tween  the  Chi  Psi's  and  the  DU's.

Of  Haydn,  Frescobaldi,  Pachelbel, 
Original  Sonata  In  Chapin  Friday 


ents  and  friends  of  the  Class  of 
1960. 


Professors  Barrow  and  Shain- 
man who  gave  program  in  Chapin 
last  night. 


Satiiiclay,  Nov.  3  -  A  pio^rani  coiisistini.;  laiyclv  ot  early, 
niitlcllc,  aiul  lato  liarociuc  ori^au  and  iii.stninicntal  iiiii.sic  was  |)ri'- 
scntcd  ill  Cliapiii  Hall  yi'.stcidav  t'M'iiiiii;  hv  i)ii;aiiist  Uobcrt  IJar- 
low,  and  hy  iiicmhcrs  of  tlio  Ik'rkshiir  Coiiiiiuiiiitv  Svinplioiiv  Or- 
chestra under  the  direction  of  Ir-0_ — 

win   Sliainman,   associate  profes- 
sor of  music  at  Williams. 

The  most  interesting  piece  on 
the  program  was  an  original  so- 
nata for  organ,  composed  by  mu- 
sic professor  Barrow  in  1955.  The 
concert  was  the  second  presented 
by  the  college's  Music  Depart- 
ment in  the  1956-57  season. 

Middle  Baroque 

The  opening  selection  of  the 
program  was  a  pair  of  middle  Bar- 
oque chorale-preludes,  played  by 
Ml'.  Barrow.  Before  each,  the  chor- 
ale upon  whicli  each  is  based  was 
played. 

The  first  prelude  was  a  work  by 
Johann  Pachelbel  based  on  a  chor- 
ale for  the  Christmas  season  call- 
ed "Good  News  from  Heaven  the 
Angels  Bring". 

Pachelbel,  born  in  Neurenburg  in 
1653,  came  at  the  lieight  of  the 
development  of  German  middle 
Baroque  music,  and  influenced  his 
younger  contemporary  Bach.  He 
was  organist  at  St.  Stephen's  Ca- 
thedral in  'Vienna,  and  is  noted 
for  playfully  Ingenious  rhythmic 
patterns  rather  than  stirring  har- 
monies. 

The  second  prelude  played  by 
Mr.  Barrow  was  based  on  an  Ad- 
vent chorale  by  Bach  called  "Come 
Now,  Savior  of  the  Gentiles". 
Bach,  v/ho  personifies  the  hsigh, 
of  thj  Baroque  period,  was  or- 
ganist at  St.  Thomas  Chjrch  in 
Leipzig  wher;  he  dxd  in  1 1'50. 
Twice  mar.  led,  and  die  father  of 
20  children.  Bach  was  in  his  day 
famous  as  an  organist.  Interest  in 
his  compositions  came  only  100 
years  after  his  death. 

Two    Concertos 

Included  in  the  program  were 
two  concertos  from  the  late  Bar- 
oque era:  the  famous  Concerto 
for  Trumpet  written  by  Joseph 
Haydn  in  1796,  and  an  organ  con- 
certo by  George  Priedrich  Handel. 

The  difficult  trumpet  concerto, 
demanding  precise  execution  ot 
phrase  as  well  as  clear  tonal  quali- 
ty, was  played  by  Mr.  Shainman, 
who  is  the  leader  of  the  'Williams 
marching  band.  The  organ  con- 
certo was  played  by  Mr.  Barrow. 
The  Berkshire  orchestra  accom- 
panied. 

Also  on  the  program  was  toccata 
for  organ  by  Girolamo  Frescobaldi, 
one  of  the  greatest  geniuses  of 
Italian  organ  music.  Classified  as 
early  Baroque  (he  died  in  1643), 
he  influenced  later  German  mu- 
sic, and  was  an  organist  of  such 
repute  that  when  he  played  in  St. 
Peter's,  30.000  people  flocked  to 
his  fii'st  performance. 


History  Professor  C.  Frederick 
Rudolph  will  present  the  keynote 
address  of  the  evening,  entitled 
"Self-education  and  self-know- 
ledge". Following  his  remarks,  the 
Williams  Octet  will  provide  some 
musical  entertainment. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Chapin 
Hall  program,  two  one-act  plays 
will  he  offered  at  the  Adams  Mem- 
orial Theatre,  including  "The  Pot 
JoUer".  An  admission  charge  of 
>-venty-five  cents  will  be  made 
I'or  this  dual  production,  the  cast 
iov  whicli  is  almost  entirely  eom- 
yjsed  of  fre-shman  players.  The 
.reshman  dorms  will  also  be  open 
lO  visitors  until  midnight.  On  Sun- 
day, a  special  Chapel  service  will 
oe  presented  at  11:00  a.m.,  at 
which  President  Baxter  will  de- 
liver tile  sermon. 


ALUMNI  HOUSE  RULES 


Baxter-Burns  .  .  . 

did  an  admirable  job  of  asserting 
his  belief  in  what  he  called  "The 
,^arty  of  the  Future"  with  a  "vi- 
sion for  a  New  America".  Phillips 
,'ollowed  with  what  was  perhaps 
.he  best  received  strategem  of  the 
evening.  In  an  attempt  to  defend 
Mr.  Nixon  from  the  onslaughts  of 
Prof.  Burns  he  quoted  in  full  a 
tribute  to  Nixon  in  "Tlie  Times" 
which  was  written  by  Burns  him- 
self. Amid  the  cheers  and  chuckles 
ot  the  audience  he  then  proceeded 
to  lay  this  document  in  front  of 
Mr.  Burns. 

It  was  next  Mr.  Burns'  turn  in 
tlie  rebuttal.  To  the  glee  of  all  he 
compared  Phillips  to  a  thick  skull- 
ed country  football  player  in  be- 
ing unable  to  see  the  difference  be- 
tween the  post  of  President  and 
■V-P  for  he  said,  "The  reason  why 
Mr.  Nixon  was  a  good  VP  is  pre- 
cisely why  he  wouldn't  be  a  good 
president". 

Mr.  Baxter  gave  the  final  re- 
marks stating  again  the  security 
he  felt  with  a  leader  such  as  Ei- 
senhower at  the  helm  thus  ending 
a  debate  the  tone  of  which  was 
altogether  friendly  and  pleasing.

you've  got  a  pack  in  your  pocket,  you're 
right  in  style.  That  explains  the  answer  to 
the  Stickler— it's  Dapper  Wrapper!  Luckies 
are  always  in  good  taste  because  they're 
made  of  fine  tobacco  — light,  naturally 
good -tasting  tobacco  that's  TOASTED 
to  taste  even  better.  Got  a  pocket?  Stock  it 
—with  Luckies!  You'll  say  they're  the  best- 
tasting  cigarette  you  ever  smoked!

Ford  Plan  Sponsors 
4  New  Instructors 


Wednesday,  November  7  —  For 
the  second  year  in  a  three-year 
program,  four  instructors  have 
come  to  the  campus  under  a  rela- 
tively new  experimental  program 
sponsored  partially  by  the  Ford 
Poundation.  The  instructors,  who 
arrive  with  no  previous  teaching 
experience,  are  regular  faculty 
members  who,  with  only  a  partial 
work  load,  also  participate  In  out- 
side seminars  related  to  teaching. 

The  four  instructors  under  the 
Ford  Intern  plan  at  Williams  this 
year  include  Thomas  Griswold  in 
the  Music  Department.  Christoph- 
er Martin  in  the  Biology  Depart- 
ment. Michael  Reagan  in  Political 
■Science  and  Douglas  Unfug  in 
History.  Full-time  instructors  on 
Ihe  faculty  who  "graduated"  from 
the  program  last  year  are  Stanis- 
laus Wellisz  in  the  Economics  De- 
partment. David  Boulton  In  the 
English  Department  and  Robert 
Qaudino  in  Political  Science. 

Ford  Experiment 

The  Ford  Intern  Program,  which 
has  been  in  existence  for  three 
years,  is  an  experiment  which,  the 
Foundation  hopes,  will  allow  qua- 
lified instructor.s  without  previous 
teaching  experience  to  Instruct 
while  they  gain  expeaience. 

Fortnightly  seminars  in  the  Fac- 
ulty House  under  the  direction  of 
Professor  Fred  Stocking  of  the 
English  Department  bring  the  In- 
t«rns  together  for  discussions  of 
educational  problems.  Occasional 
visits  by  outside  educators  high- 
light some  of  these  meetings. 


Wednesday,  Nov.  7  —  Mr.  Giles 
Playfair,  director  of  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre,  has  expressed 
optimism  over  the  progress  of  the 
AMT  production  of  Sheridan's 
"The  Critic,"  which  will  be  pre- 
.senled  on  the  13th.  14lh,  and  15th 
of  this  month.  In  three  acts,  it  is  a 
satirical  comedy  on  the  theatre  of 
Sheridan's  time. 

Neil  Kurtzman  is  playing  the 
lead  in  the  role  of  "Puff,"  Gene 
Johnson  plays  "Sneer, "  Bob  'Vail 
takes  the  part  of  "Dangle"  with 
Louise  King,  a  student  at  Ben- 
nington, playing  "Dangle's  wife." 
Mrs.  William  Martin  will  portray 
■Tiburnia"  and  Pete  Schroeder 
will  take  the  role  of  "Sir  Fretful 
Plagiary." 

Eisht  from  Bennington 

Along  with  Miss  King,  there  are 
seven  others  from  Bennington  in 
See  Page  4,  Col.  6 


*  The  original  date  for  the  com- 
mencement of  PM  oiu-rations  had 
been  set  for  November  1,  but  un- 
forseen  difficulties  in  the  produc- 
tion of  the  apparatus  cau.sed  the 
postponement. 

New   Equipment 

In  addition  to  the  FM  facilities, 
the  station  has  also  acquired  .-onie 
technical  equipment  through  the 
generosity  of  station  WBZ  in  Bos- 
j  ton,  including  a  tape  recorder,  five 
microphones,  two  loudspeakers,  a 
three-speed  turntable  and  a  coax 
ial  cable.  The  station  has  also 
purchased  other  technical  equip- 
ment to  widen  the  scope  of  its 
prcgramming. 

By  continuing  old  favorites,  such 
as  the  inter-f;aternity  quiz  and 
the  tape-recorded  faculty  lectures 
and  by  adding  several  innovations 
to  be  announced  when  the  station 
goes  on  the  FM  band.  WMS  hopes 
to  add  deplli  and  variety  to  its  dai- 
ly schedule. 

Clovers  Election 

As  part  of  its  service,  the  sta- 
tion covered  the  election  last  night 
far  into  the  morning,  including 
election  news  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  and  interpretation  of  the 
trends  by  members  of  the  faculty. 

On  a  normal  day.  WMS  will  be- 
gin operation  at  1:00  P.M.  with  a 
survey  of  the  latest  news.  The 
greater  part  of  the  rest  of  the  af- 
ternoon will  be  taken  up  by  "Mu- 
sical Stage"  which  features  clas.si- 
cal  and  semi-classical  music.  At 
4:00  P.M.,  "Record  Review",  a 
show  of  popular  tunes,  will  be 
aired,  followed  by  a  show  of  old- 
time  favorites  at  5:00  P.M.  At  5:30 
P.M..  a  review  of  the  current  top 
twenty  tunes  will  be  carried.  These 
shows  will  be  interspersed  with 
news  broadcasts  at  3:00  P.M.  and 
6:00  P.M. 

The  evening  hours  will  feature 

dinner   music,   an   armed   services 

program,     sports     news,     campus

Sunday,  Nov.  4  -  Williams  Col- 
lege P:esidenl  James  P.  Baxter  III 
and  10  other  educators  and  scien- 
tists di.scussed  with  President  Ei- 
senhower at  the  White  House  last 
Friday  proposals  to  expedite  peace- 
fil  uses  of  the  atom  through  the 
International  Atomic  Energy  A- 
gency  recently  set  up  by  the 
United  Nations. 

The  group  of  11  met  with  the 
President  at  his  invitation  and 
submitted  a  statement  which  Dr. 
Baxter  read  to  the  President  for  his 
comments.  After  di.scu.ssion  lasting 
45  minutes,  the  statement  was  re- 
leased by  White  House  press  sec- 
:etary  James  C.  Hagerty. 

The   Affency 

The  81-nation  Agency.  propo.sed 
by  President  Eisenhower  to  the 
UN  General  Assembly  in  1953,  was 
chartered  by  a  unanimous  stand- 
ing vote  in  the  UN  two  weeks  ago. 
It  will  start  to  function  next  sum- 
mer in  its  Vienna  headquarters. 

Operating  as  an  atomic  bank,  it 
will  receive  deposits  of  fi.s.sionable 
materiaLs  and  will  allocate  them, 
with  appropriate  safeguards,  for 
peaceful  uses  by  nations  which 
have  insufficient  atomic  resources. 
The  United  States  has  allocated 
44.000  pounds  of  fissionable  ma- 
terial for  peaceful  use  by  foreign 
countries,  and  has  promised  11,000 
pounds  of  U-235  as  its  initial  con- 
tribution with  more  to  come  on  a 
matching  basis. 

The    Statement 

The  statement  by  the  11  .scien- 
tists and  educators  praised  the 
U.S.  action  and  the  Agency  which 
will  help  develop  "international 
amity  through  cooperative  efforts 
for  common  goals."  It  is  a  step 
toward  making  the  atom  "an  obe- 
dient servant  in  a  prosperous  and 
peaceful  world". 

The  statement  recommended 
lowering  the  price  of  atomic  ma- 
terials, and  that  the  Agency  could 
work  more  efficiently  witli  scien- 
tific societies  than  with  govern- 
ments. 

President  Baxter  met  reporters 
in  a  press  conference  after  the 
meeting.

Wednesday,  Nov.  7  —  The  Wil- 
liams Health  Department  will  com- 
mence its  program  of  administer- 
ing Salk  vaccine  shots  this  after- 
noon. Students  whose  last  names 
begin  with  the  letters  A  througrh  L 
are  requested  to  appear  at  the  In- 
firmary between  2:30  and  5:30 
this  afternoon.  Those  whose  names 
begin  with  the  letters  M  through  Z 
should  report  during  the  same  per- 
iod tomo'Mow.  No  student  under 
twenty-one  will  be  given  the  vac- 
cine without  a  parental  permit 
card. 

Students  aged  20  and  over  will 
be  charged  a  dollar  per  injection 
to  cover  the  cost  of  the  vaccine. 
Tlie  Infirmary  makes  no  charge 
for  giving  these  injections.  If  a 
student  was  under  age  20  when  his 
parents  gave  permission,  he  will  be 
given  the  vaccine  free  of  charge 
by  the  Commonwealth  of  Massa- 
chusetts as  part  of  its  polio  vac- 
cine program. 

The  College  Health  Department 
has  received  almost  eight-hundred 
permit  cards  from  the  parents  of 
Williams  students.  Salk  vaccine 
currently  available  has  been  prov- 
en to  be  a  safe  and  highly  effec- 
tive protection.  Its  wide  use,  par- 
ticularly in  individuals  under  40, 
is  strongly  recommended  by  pub- 
lic  health   agencies   according   to 


Saturday.  Nov.  3  —  A  total  of 
477  parents,  relatives  and  friends 
arrived  on  the  Williams  College 
campus  today  for  the  largest  at- 
tendance at  any  Williams  Fresh- 
man Parent's  Day.  It  was  the 
fourth  annual  celebration  of  what 
is  becoming  a  traditional  fall  af- 
fair. 

Parents  of  almost  two  hundred 
frosh  joined  in  the  festivities  at 
the  Alumni  House  where  a  buffet 
luncheon  was  served.  Three  separ- 
ate cafeteria  lines  di-spensed  food 
to  almost  500  people.  Representa- 
tives of  frosh  families  and  friends 
attended  from  over  20  states  in- 
cluding some  from  as  far  away  as 
California  and  Kansas. 
Football  Game 

At  1:30,  the  Williams  College 
Band  led  a  parade  of  freshman 
and  parents  from  the  freshman 
quad  down  Spring  Street  to  West- 
on Field  and  the  football  game 
against  RPIs  frosh  squad.  The 
Eph  yearlings  ran  all  over  their 
opponents,  winning  by  a  lopsided 
33-0  score,  much  to  the  delight  of 
the  spectators  who  were  primarily 
freshman  parents.  It  was  the  third 
straight  victory  for  Coach  Frank 
Navvaro's  undefeated  team. 

At  7  P.M.,  all  freshmen  and 
their  guests  retired  to  the  Baxter 
Hall  dining  rooms  where  716  steak 
dinners  were  served  to  the  accom- 
paniment   ol  the  newly    formed 


Wednesday.  Nov.  7  —  Many  Wil- 
liams alumni  and  friends  will  re- 
turn to  Willlamstown  Satiu'day  to 
watch  all  the  freshmen  and  var- 
sity athletic  teams  oppose  rival 
Wesleyan  squads  from  Middle- 
town.  Conn.,  as  Williams  holds  its 
unofficial  Fall  Homecoming. 
Charles  B.  Hall,  Secretary  of  the 
Alumni  Society,  emphasizes  that 
this  is  not  the  official  Homecom- 
ing Weekend,  which  is  held  each 
year  in  February,  but  is  an  unoffi- 
cial homecoming  weekend  which 
has  become  traditional  each  fall 
when  Williams  teams  host  a  Little 
Three  opponent.  A  large  crowd  is 
expected. 

The  weekend's  schedule  starts 
Friday  evening  with  the  torchlight 
parade  down  Main  Street  which 
culminates  in  a  bonfire  and  rally 
in  front  of  Chapin  Hall.  The  var- 
sity coaches  and  captains  will 
probably  be  called  upon  to  say  a 
few  words,  while  the  Purple  cheer- 
leaders will  be  present  to  lead  the 
ralliers  in  a  few  "short  cheers". 
The  music  will  be  provided  by  the 
Williams  College  Marching  Band 
featuring  Harry  Hart  and  his  fam- 
ous fight  cheer.  The  freshmen  and 
fraternity  posters  will  also  be 
judged  at  the  rally  by  a  secret 
committee  and  the  winners  of  the 
contest  and  accompanying  kegs  of 
beer  will  be  announced.  After  the 
rally,  the  alumni  will  gather  at  the 
Alumni  House  or  at  the  fraterni- 
ties for  informal  parties  and  re- 
unions. 

Four  Morning  Games 
Leading  off  the  full  schedule  of 
alhletiu  contests  on  Satiu'day  will 
be  the  varsity  soccer  and  freshmen 
football  and  freshmen  soccer 
teams.  All  three  squads  meet  theii- 
Cardinal  opponents  at  10:30  on 
the  lower  athletic  fields.  The  var- 
sity soccer  team  will  take  a  4-2 
record  into  this  first  league  game, 
including  victories  over  Dartmouth 
and  Harvard.  Co-captain  Howie 
Patterson  and  high-scorer  Mike 
Baring-Gould  will  lead  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee's  squad  against 
the  Wesmen. 

Both  the  freshmen  teams  will 
carry  perfect  3-0  records  into  theii- 
games.  Coach  Frank  Navarro's 
frosh  gridders  have  beaten  'Ver- 
mont, RPI  and  a  strong  Andover 
team  and  hopes  are  higher  for  an 
undefeated  season.  Co-captains 
Bob  Stegeman  and  Fay  Vincent 
will  lead  the  squad  against  Wes- 
leyan, which  lost  to  the  Amherst 
frosh  14-7.  The  freshmen  soccer 
team,  led  by  co-captains  Paul  Rea 
and  Tom  Thorns,  is  also  out  to  gain 
the  first  leg  of  the  Little  Three  ti- 
tle on  their  way  to  an  undefeated

THE  WILLIAMS  RECOKD.  WEDNESDAY,  NOVEMBEH  7,  1956 


Dehumanization  At  Williams 


Ih/  Stccc  Hose 
A  recent  series  of  RECORD  articles  dealt  witli  various  as- 
pects of  the  problem  of  "knowiiin  oneself"  at  Williams.  To  date 
there  liave  been  no  letters  concerninj;  this  \ital  snbject.  And  we 
are  led  to  the  sorry  conclnsion  that  students  are  probably  not 
interested  in  determining  their  aims  in  life  after  all.  Thev  do  not 
care  to  figure  out  why  they  are  in  college,  and  what  tlu'ir  jiurpose 
should  be  while  they  are  here.  We  can  only  hoiK-  that  it  students 
have  not  contributed  their  ideas  in  writing  they  niav  perhaps 
have  talked  and  thought  about  the  problem,  before  we  get  too 
pessimistic  we  can  note  two  significant  contributions  to  tiiought  on 
this  problem  that  came  to  liglit  last  weekend.  One  was  President 
[ames  Phinney  Baxter's  thoughtful  sermon  in  (;lui|)el  wliich  stress- 
ed the  importance  of  religion  at  Williams.  The  other  was  Professor 
Frederick  Rudolijh's  diagnosis  of  the  present  Williams  malaisex 
which  was  presented  in  his  speech  to  the  Freshmen  Saturday 
night.  Mr.  Rudol])h's  remarks  are  significant  and  worth  consider- 
able thought  and  comment.  Portions  of  his  speech  follow. 

Today  we  have  found  so  many  substitutes  for  man— 
from  the  automatic  assembly  line  to  Univac— that  man  is 
in  danger  of  becoming  dehumanized. 

Selif-knowledge  has  become  difficult,  and  self-educa- 
tion almost  forgotten. 

I  am  serious  when  I  suggest  that  we  live  in  an  age 
■■'  when  man  appears  to  be  intent  on  robbing  himself  of 
':'  much  that  makes  him  human-robbing  himself,  if  you 
'  will,  of  those  opportunities  for  self-consciousness,  self- 
";  knowledge,  and  self-affirmation  which  distinguish  men 
^ ,'    from  things. 

*  *  • 

We  in  the  colleges  cannot  go  back,  but  I  do  believe 

that  for  parent,  student,  and  faculty  the  su|)reme  ehal- 

,•;     lenge  to  the  American  college  today  lies  in  how  well  we 

use  these  four  years,  that  young  men  may  learn  to  develop 

.     and  to  respect  that  which  is  human,  to  become  selves 

rather  than  things,  to  ward  off  the  dehumini/ation  of  man. 

It  is  often  said  that  a  reason  for  going  to  college  is 
to  learn  how  to  get  along  with  peo|5le. 

Students  learn  well  enough  how  to  get  along  with 
people  without  any  help  from  a  college.  And  the  addition- 
al learning  along  these  lines  that  a  college  experience 
makes  jiossible  often  robs  them  of  the  kind  of  individual- 
ism, self-consciousness,  and  self-affirmation  which  would 
ha\e  truly  enabled  them  to  become  men  instead  of  merely 
candidates  for  success  in  grey  flannel  suits. 

Young  men,  do  not  as  I  have  said,  have  trouble  in 
learning  how  to  get  along  with  others. 

What  they  have  trouble  doing  is  getting  along  with 
themselves,  in  finding  out  who  they  are,  where  they  have 
come  from,  where  they  are  heading— intellectually,  mor- 
ally, spiritually. 

And  it  is  in  this  area  that  the  college  must  function 
and  that  parents  must  help.  It  is  a  mistake  for  anyone  to 
think  that  Williams  College  is  here  to  make  business- 
men or  scientists  or  teachers,  and  it  is  a  disservice  to  the 
student  for  anyone  to  encourage  him  to  think  that  that  is 
why  he  is  here. 

He  is  here  to  build  those  inner  resources  which  will 
make  him  a  man,  to  enjoy  those  discoveries  of  mind  and 
spirit  that  will  make  him  self-conscious,  and  to  gain  that 
self-confidence  and  self-knowledge  which  will  enable  him 
to  say  with  conviction,  "I  believe  .  .  ." 


...  I  would  ask  .  .  .  whether  there  isn't  something 
that  students  can  learn  from  the  experiences  of  their  nine- 
teenth-century predecessors  at  Williams. 

It  is  too  much  to  exjject  the  Class  of  1960  to  emulate 
the  Class  of  1855  which  in  its  senior  year  walked  thirty 
miles  to  Charlemont,  where  it  met  the  senior  class  of  Am- 
herst, dedicated  a  mountain,  and  then  retired  to  the  best 
hotel  in  Shelburne  Falls  for  dinner? 

I  suppose  it  is,  but  there  is  something  about  that 
Amherst-Williams  weekend  a  hundred  years  ago  that 
.  .  .  will  be  lacking  in  any  Amherst-Williams  weekend  in 
store  for  the  class  of  1960. 

If  the  class  of  1960  recognizes  a  deficiency  in  the 
life  of  Williams,  can  we  count  on  it  to  remedy  that  de- 
ficiency without  waiting  for  directives  or  solutions  from 
Hopkins  Hair? 

The  nineteenth-century  undergraduate  recognized 
and  fulfilled  his  needs,  and  in  the  process  discovered  him- 
self. 

He  attained  self-knowledge  through  self-education. 
Recently  I  have  heard  it  said  that  a  Williams  freshman 
knows  how  to  meet  his  transportation  problems  but  by 
the  time  that  he  is  a  sophomore  he  needs  the  help  of  the 
faculty  and  the  deans  and  the  trustees  in  figuring  out  how 
to  enjoy  the  companionship  of  a  Smith  girl  in  Williams- 
town. 

If  this  is  true,  we  should  find  out  right  away  what 
it  is  about  our  situation  which  destroys  that  element 
of  initiative  that  the  freshman  apparently  brings  with  him 
from  home. 

I  for  one  am  convinced  that  if  we  encourage  students 
to  solve  more  of  their  problems  themselves,  their  educa- 
tional experiences  will  be  richer  and  their  knowledge  of 
self  will  be  deeper. 

*  *  * 
It  seems  inconceivable  to  the  RECORD  that  a  student  can  be 
confronted  with  words  such  as  these,  of  Mr.  Rudolph,  and  not  be 
inspired  to  do  some  serious  thinking  about  why  he  is  here,  and 
what  his  purposes  are  in  life. 


Sen.  Kennedy  In  Adams  Provides 
Case  Study  In  V.  S.  Local  Politics 

Bii  m  Edgar 
The  visit  of  Nhissacbu.setts  Senator  johii  F.   Kennedv  to  the 
nearby  town  of  Adams  last  Friday  evening  provided  an  interestmg 
case'  study  in  American  local  and  district  ijolities-antl  in  American 
democracy. 

Adams  is  a  small  indu,strial  town,  economically  organized 
around  stark  and  dreary  paper  and  textile  mills.  Workers  of  French 
M\i\  Polish  extraction  predominate.  Yet  the  simple  lives  of  the  peo- 
ple and  the  power  oi  the  state  were  brought  together  bv  Keimedvs 
visit  without  tension.  In  an  imposed  government  a  barrier  exists 
In-tween  the  activities  of  the  people  and  the  designs  ol  the  state. 
ilere,  however,  there  was  no  difference  between  the  attitudes  ol 
hese  small  New  England  townspeople  and  of  the  wcallhv,  Har- 
vard-educated legislator. 

As  Kennedy  was  leaving  the  junior  high  school  where  he 
':poke,  following  a  police  car  with  flashing  red  lights  and  ilri\eu  bv 
a  snappilv  dressed  state  trooper  and  a  grav  Cadillac  tilled  with 
members  of  his  entourage,  he  rolled  down  the  window  of  his  new 
Lincoln  and  said  to  the  people  on  the  steps  of  the  .school,  in  a 
quiet  voice,  "Thank  you  very  much".  It  was  almost  a  symbol  .  .  . 

Winding  up  a  campaign  tour  plugging  for  Democratic  tickets 
throughout  the  nation,  Senator  Kemiedv's  motorcade  swung  into 
Adams  just  fi\e  days  before  the  1956  election.  His  nurpose  was  to 
:>\press  his  su)5port  for  his  close  friend  ( each  was  tlie  best  man  at 
the  ether's  wedding),  Robert  Cramer-a  Williams  graduate  and 
llie  owner  of  an  Adams  jiaper  mill,  who  was  seeking  the  Second 
Berkshire  District's  seat  in  the  Massachusetts  State  House. 

Parade  in  the  Kaiii 
The  Cramer  rallv  began  just  after  dark.  The  November  air 
was  filled  with  a  cold,  lightly-drizzling  rain  when  ])assively  inter- 
ested passerby  stojjped  on  the  steps  of  Sinnmcr  Street  to  watch  a 
liarade  form  in  front  of  the  Democratic  headquarters. 

The  ])arade  was  small,  but  spirited  and  noisv.  At  the  front 
marched  junior  high  school  drum-inajorettes,  tiressed  in  white 
boots  and  dungarees.  A  young  drum-and-bugle  corps  followed, 
plaving  loudlv  off-kev,  and  behind  tlu'in  rolled  two  cars,  contain- 
ing Mr.  Chamer  and  other  local  Democrats. 

Bringing  up  the  rear  was  a  tractor-drawn  hay  wagon  from  ^Vil- 
liamstown.  filled  with  a  few  Young  Democrats  from  Williams  Col- 
lege, holding  large  signs  for  Mr.  Cramer  and  a  smaller  sign  which 
read  "Madly  for  Adlai ";  a  few  bovs  from  the  Pine  Cobble  School; 
and  several  children  with  noisv  whistles  from  the  town  ol  .Adams, 
carrving  signs  for  candidates  Furcolo  and  McCormack,  but  shout- 
ing, 'You  ain't  nuthin'  but  a  hoimd  dog".  Harry  Hart  was  there, 
plaving  fight  cheers  and  bugle  calls. 

Kennedy 
When  Mr.  Cramer  and  Senator  Kennedv  entered  the  audi- 
torium of  the  C.T.  Plunkett  Junior  High  School,  the  650  Adams 
people  present  rose  for  a  standing  ovation.  The  Senator  took  time 
from  his  tight  campaign  schedule  to  listen  to  speeches  bv  members 
of  the  local  ticket,  among  them  a  mavor  who  claimed  that  "we 
can't  make  a  mistake  if  we  go  back  to  the  roots  ol  the  land  where 
we  belong".  He  applauded  at  the  end  of  each  speech,  arranged  his 
notes,  and  chatted  with  people  sitting  next  to  him. 

When  the  Senator  sjioke,  he  stood  ]ioise(l  o\'er  the  microphone 
like  an  athlete.  He  emphasized  each  jjoint  carefullv  bv  pressing 
together  his  hands.  His  speech  was  genial  and  anecdotal. 

He  recognized  each  member  of  the  local  ticket  by  name,  (|uot- 
ing  an  Irish  patriot  who  said  that  "the  control  of  local  affairs  is  the 
essence  of  liberty".  He  praised  the  courage  of  the  Polish  people, 
and,  referring  to  the  Idle  Windsor  Print  Works  in  North  Adams,  he 
said  he  hoped  for  tax  laws  to  prevent  industries  from  moving  out 
and  leaving  jjeople  jobless,  and  for  higher  tariffs  to  jjrotect  textiles.

On   Second  Thought 


This  weekend  hundreds  of  former  Williams  grads  and  |l 
families  will  be  on  campus.  Perhaps  it  is  not  out  of  place  at  ; 
point  to  call  attention  to  the  tact  that  the  current  student  bod\ 
a  definite  responsibility  to  make  the  alumni  leel  welcome  hei. 
fact,  it  is  more  than  a  lesponsibilitv,  it  should  be  both  a  pri\ 
and  a  pleasure  to  exteuil  to  them  the  same  eourtesv  and  con^ 
ation  winch  we  would  offer  guests  in  our  own  homes. 

Some  of  these  men  do  not  know  manv  pi'ople  here  aiiv  n 
some  ha\e  not  been  back  lor  a  long  time.  It  would  not  be  o, 
place  to  take  a  minute  or  so  to  pass  the  time  ol  dav  with  an  a 
nus  who  is  strolling  around  the  campus,  in  the  student  union 
fraternitv  hou.se  or  even  on  Spring  Street.  They  want  to  feel 
there  will  always  be  a  place  for  them  here. 

These  men  are  encouraged  bv  the  Ahimni  Olfiee  to  n  ' 
as  often  as  possible.  What  a  deep,  pleasurefnl  glow  they  will  I 
when  they  realize  they  are  wanted  back  not  only  bv  the  Aiii 
istration,  but  just  as  sincerely  by  the  student  bodv  as  well. 

It  can  be  a  fascinating  experience   to  talk   with   these  i 
.seeing  how  Williams  traditions  have  i)assed   down   throngh 
years  and  leali/.ing  that  there  is  much  more  to  this  jjlace  than 
four  years  one  spends  here.  And  remember,  what  kind  of  rei

LITTLE  STORIES  WITH  WUl  MOUALS 
First  Little  Story 

Once  upon  a  time  when  the  inventor.s  of  the  airplane 
were  very  .small  boy.s,  the  roof  on  their  hou.se  developed 
a  terrible  leak.  A  repairman  wa.t  called  to  fix  it.  He  set 
his  ladder  against  the  side  of  the  house,  but  it  wa.s  a 
very  tall  hou.se  and  his  ladder  was  not  quite  long  enough 
to  reach  the  roof. 

"Sir.  we  have  an  idea,"  .said  the  hoys  who  even  at  that 
tender  age  were  re.soureeful  little  chaps.  "We  will  get 
up  on  top  of  the  ladder  and  boost  you  up  on  the  roof." 

So  the  boys  climbed  to  the  top  of  the  ladder,  and  the 
repairman  came  after  them,  and  they  tried  to  lionst  hira 
up  on  the  roof.  But,  alas,  the  plan  did  not  work  and  they 
all  came  tumbling  down  in  a  heap.

Spcond  Little  Story 

Once  upon  a  time  a  German  exchange  student  came 
from  Old  ffeidelberg  to  an  American  university.  One 
night  there  was  a  hull  session  going  on  in  the  room  next 
to  his.  "Ach,  excuse  me,"  he  said  timidly  to  the  group  of 
young  men  assembled  there,  "aber  what  is  that  heavenly 
smell  I  smell?" 

"Why,  that  is  the  fragrant  aroma  of  our  Philip  Morris 
cigarettes,"  said  one  of  the  men. 

"Himmvl,  such  natural  tobacco  goodness!" 

"It  comes  in  regular  size  in  the  handy  Snap-Open  pack, 
or  in  long  size  in  the  new  crushproof  box. . .  .  Won't  you 
try  one?" 

"Daiilcp.irh'iin,"  said  the  German  exchange  .student 
haiipily.  and  from  that  night  forward,  whenever  the  men 
lit  up  Philip  Morris  Cigarettes,  he  never  failed  to  be 
present. 

MORAL:  Where  there's  smoke,  there's  Meyer. 

Third  Little  Story 

Once  upon  a  time  Penelope,  the  wife  of  Ulysses,  had 
her.telf  a  mess  of  trouble  in  Ithaca.  With  her  husband 
away  at  the  Trojan  War,  all  the  local  blades  were  wooing 
Penelope  like  crazy.  She  .stalled  them  by  saying  she 
wouldn't  make  her  choice  until  she  finished  weaving  a 
rug.  Each  night  when  her  suitors  had  gone  home,  Penel- 
ope, that  sly  minx,  would  unravel  all  the  weaving  she 
had  done  during  the  day. 


^  Wyc^/^'/mhc/e/^^/b  Mr"' 


Well  sir,  one  night  .she  left  her  rug  lying  outside.  It 
rained  buckets,  and  the  rug  got  all  matted  and  shrunken, 
and  Penelope  couldn't  unwind  it.  When  the  suitors  came 
back  in  the  morning,  the  poor  fran'tic  woman  .started 
running  all  over  the  house  looking  for  a  place  to  hide. 

Well  air,  it  happened  that  Sappho,  the  poetess,  had 
come  over  the  night  before  to  write  an  ode  about  Penel- 
ope's Grecian  urn.  So  she  .said,  "Hey,  Penelope,  why 
don't  you  hide  in  this  urn  ?  I  think  it's  big  enough  if  you'll 
kind  of  .squinch  down." 

So  Penelope  hopped  in  the  urn,  and  it  concealed  her 
perfectly  except  for  her  hair-do  which  was  worn  upswept 
in  the  Greek  manner. 

Well  sir,  with  the  .suitors  pounding  on  the  door,  Sap- 
pho had  to  move  fast.  She  whipped  out  a  razor  and  cut 
off  Penelope's  hair.  The  suitors  looked  high  and  low  but 
they  couldn't  find  Penelope.

Union  Upsets  Wattersmen,  20-14; 
Blocked  Punt  Leads  To  Final  TD 


Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  Underdog 
Amherst  pulled  one  of  the  biggest 
upsets  in  New  England  on  Pratt 
Field  today  by  toppling  Tufts  from 
th':  ranks  of  the  undefeated  by  a 
6-0  victory.  Amherst  scored  its  lone 
tally  in  the  first  quarter  on  a 
puss  from  quarterback  Tom  Gor- 
man to  end  Dave  Stephens. 

Amherst  has  won  five  straight 
since  losing  its  season  opener  to 
an  undefeated  Springfield  eleven. 
Its  victory  over  Tufts  ended  the 
Jumbo's  .seven  game  winning 
streak.  The  Jeffs'  staunch  defense 
:;ompletely  stopped  Tufts'  offen- 
sive threats  Dave  WelLs,  who  scor- 
ed three  TD's  against  Williams, 
and  Norm  Wright. 

Tufts  Misses  Chance 

Tufts  halfback  Paul  Abrahaml- 
an  made  a  fumble  in  the  third 
quarter,  which  cost  them  at  least 
a  tie.  After  the  Jumbos  had 
marched  47  yards  to  the  Amherst 
three,  Abrahamian  fumbled  into 
the  end  zone  on  a  line  buck  and 
Amherst  recovered  for  a  touch 
back.  Tufts  never  got  another  good 
scoring  opportunity.  The  Jumbos 
got  to  the  Amher.st  35  and  then 
had  a  pass  intercepted,  and  again 
with  .six  minutes  to  go,  Wright 
fumbled  on  the  34. 

The  Jeffs  also  lost  out  on  scor- 
ing drives,  fumbling  nine  times. 
The  Amherst  attack  was  paced  by 
halfback  Jim  Connors  who  gained 
120  yards  in  16  carries  for  7.5  aver- 
age. Marsh  McLean  and  Jim 
Krumsiek  also  we:e  outstanding 
ground  gainers  for  the  victors,  who 
gained  313  yards  on  the  ground. 
Tufts  gained  only  177  on  the 
ground  and  81  in  the  air. 


What  young  people  are  doing  at  General  Electric 


Young  engineer 

sells  million-dollar 

equipment  to  utilities 


Selling  electric  equipment  for  a  utility  sub- 
station—a  complex  unit  used  in  |)ower  trans- 
mission and  distribution— requires  extensive 
technical  knowledge  of  the  products  in- 
volved. Men  who  sell  such  complex  equip- 
ment must  also  know  a  customer's  require- 
ments, what  will  best  fdl  his  needs,  and  how 
to  sell  the  merits  of  their  products  to  the 
executives  who  buy  such  apparatus. 

One  such  man  at  General  Electric  is  31- 
year-old  Allen  J.  Clay,  an  apparatus  sales 
engineer  serving  the  electrical  utility  com- 
panies in  the  Fhiladelphia-Allentown  area. 

Clay's  Work  Is  Important,  Diversified 

For  Clay,  technical  selling  is  not  a  door-to- 
door  job.  As  a  representative  of  General 
Electric,  he  must  be  ready  to  discuss  cus- 
tomer needs  with  vice  presidents  or  help 
solve  intricate  problems  with  skilled  engi- 
neers. His  recommendations  are  based  on 
his  own  engineering  background,  and  are 
backed  up  by  the  know-how  of  the  Com- 
pany's best  application  engineers.  His  in- 
terest in  working  with  people  carries  over 
into  his  community  life,  where  he  takes  a 
part  in  many  local  activities— Rotary,  Com- 
munity Chest,  Boy  Scouts,  and  his  University 
Engineering  Alumni  Association. 

27,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 

Allen  Clay  is  a  well-rounded  individual  who 
has  come  to  be  a  spokesman  for  General 
Electric  wherever  he  goes.  Like  each  of  our 
27,000  college-graduate  employees,  he  is  be- 
ing given  the  chance  to  grow  and  realize  his 
full  potential.  For  General  Electric  has  long 
believed  this:  Whenever  fresh  young  minds 
are  given  freedom  to  make  progress,  every- 
body benefits— the  individual,  the  Company, 
and  the  country.

Scliencctady,  N.Y.,  Nov.  3  -  It  seemed  that  history  was  re- 
peating; itself  on  Union's  Alexander  Field  tliis  afternoon.  Last 
year,  the  Williams  football  team  fell  apart  in  the  last  half  of  the^ 
i  season  and  heie  today  Coach  Len  Watters'  1956  edition  gave 
every  indication  that  it  mi^lit  be  doing  the  same.  The  apathetic  and 
uninspired  Ephs  allowed  an  outweighed,  undermanned  Union 
.s()uau  to  come  from  behind  twice  to  win,  20-14. 

This  was  the  third  year  in  a  row  tliat  the  Garnets  have  upset 
a  favored  Williams  team  but  today's  surprise  takes  on  gigantic 
proportions,  in  view  of  Amherst's  early  season  roni))  over  this 
same  Union  eleven  and  its  6-0  defeat  of  mighty  Tufts  tliis  after- 
noon on  Pratt  Field.  . 

Although  Williams  won  out  in  the  statistics  department,  with 
194  yards  rushing  to  only  63  for  Union,  this  was  not  enough  to. 
overcome  the  |)oor  Eph  blocking  and  porous  jjass  defense.  Tlie 

Garnets  were  plainly  way  "up"  for  today's  game.  J 

Eplis  Score  First  .',.' ', 

The  opening  minutes  of  the  game  signalled  anotlier  WJllia^hs' 
rout.  Following  the  kickoff,  the  Ephs  threw  Union  back  to  their, 
own  21  where,  on  fouith  down  and  13  to  go,  tackle  Bill  Hedeman 
broke  through  and  blocked  Union  fullback  Roger  Olson's  punt, 
gixing  the  \isitors  a  first  down  on  the  five,  (oel  Potter  plunged 
for  2  and  then  Whitey  Kaufman  cracked  over  from  the  three  to 
score.  Norm  Cram's  conversion  made  it  7-0  for  Williams  with 
only  2:55  gone. 

The  Ephs  had  another  scoring  oiiportunity  toward  the  end 
of  the  ])eriod  when,  after  Kaufman  had  punted  to  the  Union  23, 
the  Garnets  finnbled  on  the  next  play  and  Williams  recovered  on 
the  20.  Kaufman  drove  for  3  and  Potter  for  2.  Quarterback  Bob 
Apjileford  then  was  sto|)i3ed  for  no  gain  on  a  keeper  play.  With 
fourth  and  five,  Potter  was  dimiped  after  a  three  yard  advance 
and  Union  took  over  on  its  own  12.  The  Garnets  punted  out  of 
danger  as   the  period  ended. 

Pass  Plat/  Clicks 

With  faulty  Eph  line  play,  mainly  missed  blocking  assign- 
MKiits,  preventing  Williams  from  starting  any  sustained  drive, 
cpiarterback  Ed  Janulionis  took  to  the  air  in  an  attempt  to  smarten 
u|)  Union's  offense  and  tie  the  score.  After  Kaufman  kicked  to 
Union's  45,  lanidionis  completed  two  straight  passes  to  set  his 
team  up  with  a  fourth  and  3  on  the  28.  The  Williams  line  failed 
to  hold  as  Andy  Reynolds  dove  off  tackle  for  five  yards  and  tlie 
first  down.  The  Garnets  scored  on  tlie  next  play  as  Janulionis 
lofted  a  pass  to  end  Rex  Sawyer,  who  had  slipped  in  behind  Apple- 
ford  in  the  end  zone. 

Although  Sawyer  missed  the  jioint-after,  the  E]3h  7-6  lead  was 
shortlived.  A  clipping  penalty  .set  the  visitors  back  to  their  10, 
where  Gary  Shortlldge  fmnbled  Tom  Christopher's  jiitchout  and 
Union  end  diet  Cavoli  fell  on  the  ball  on  the  4.  Two  plays  later 
balfliack  Dick  Cole  went  over.  Sawyer's  kick  made  the  score,  13-7. 
Donner  Stops  Drive 

Union  almost  tallied  again  following  the  kickoff  after  Olson 
intercepted  Appleford's  pass  and  carried  it  back  to  the  Wilhams 
20.  From  here,  Janulionis  threw  complete  to  Cole  on  the  2  yard 
line.  After  two  unsuccessful  plunges,  Williams  end  Rich  Kagan 

j^j  dumped  Olson  back  to  the  4.  With 

fourth  down  and  only  seconds  left 
in  the  half.  Matt  Donner  caught 
Cole  in  the  backfield  lor  a  5  yard 
loss  as  the  half  ended.

Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  The  Williams 
College  soccer  team  went  down  to 
its  second  defeat  of  the  season  to 
an  unbeaten  Springfield  team,  by 
a  7-0  score  at  Springfield  today. 
The  Ephs  were  outclassed  in  ev- 
ery department  as  the  Maroons 
dominated  the  game  from  the 
opening  whistle.  Springfield  scor- 
ed three  times  within  the  opening 
fifteen  minutes. 

Paul  Sweeney,  the  Springfield 
outside  right,  scored  twice  and 
added  two  assists  to  lead  the  Ma- 
roons with  four  points.  The 
Springfield  star  and  high  scorer, 
center  forward  Dick  Hungerford, 
also  chalked  up  a  goal  and  an  as- 
sist to  keep  his  scoring  spree  run- 
ning. The  Springfield  first  line 
played  the  Williams  defense  per- 
fectly, and  time  after  time  tor- 
wards  were  free  in  front  of  the 
Eph  nets,  with  clear  shots  at  goalie 
Jock  Purcell.

Vermont  Captures  Honors 

Pour  other  colleges  were  repre- 
sented Including  the  University  of 
Vermont.  Colby,  the  University  of 
Maine  and  Dartmouth.  Each  team 
faced  three  different  opponents 
during  the  afternoon  with  the 
judging  being  done  by  coaches  of 
the  team  represented  at  the  con- 
test. 

The  Williams  squad  fared  well 
with  the  affirmative  winning  all 
thi-ee  of  its  debates  and  the  nega- 
tive completing  the  afternoon  with 
a  1-2  record  to  give  the  Ephmen 
a  4-2  total.  Only  one  other  team 
went  undefeated.  The  women  from 
the  University  of  Vermont  won  in- 
dividual honors,  their  affirmative 
remaining  undefeated  throughout 
the  afternoon  and  their  negative 
copping  one  while  losing  two.  El- 
len Freeman  captm-ed  first  place 
In  the  individual  scoring  for  the 
Vermonters. 

Affirmative   Stand 

The  Williams  affii'mative  main- 
tained that  economic  aid  is  neces- 
sary but  that  an  indirect  method 
of  administering  aid  through  an 
intermediary  body  is  far  superior 
to  the  djiect  method  of  govern- 
ment to  government  aid  as  pre- 
sently maintained  by  the  United 
States.  The  affirmative  proposed 
that  the  United  Nations  should  set 
up  an  organ  to  administer  aid 
through  non-political  channels 
and  thus  eliminate  the  protests 
over  imperialism  and  the  basic  dis- 
trust of  foreign  countries. 

The  main  case  for  the  negative 
stated  that  the  direct  aid  policy 
identified  with  the  United  States 
builds  friendship  and  ties  of  trust 
In  the  countries  being  aided. 

Fraternity  Debates  Continue 

Another  aspect  of  the  Adelphic 
Union  program  is  the  inter-fra- 
ternity debate  series.  Last  week 
Independents  Tony  Smith  '57,  and 
Rich  Schneider  '57,  defeated  the 
Beta  team  of  Phil  McKean  '58, 
and  Dick  Wydick  '59,  on  the  topic. 
Resolved:  "That  Elsenhower  Has 
Brought  Peace  and  Prosperity  To 
The  United  States".  This  week  the 
Slgs  meet  the  DU's  and  the  D. 
Phi's  debate  the  Phi  Gams. 

A  large  silver  trophy  donated  by 
an  interested  alumnus  will  be  a- 
warded  to  the  fraternity  round- 
robin  champion.

Football  ... 

ford  dro\e  his  team  down  to  the  Union  5  where  the  Ejihs  had  a 
first  down.  A  back-in-motion  penalty  set  Williams  back  after  three 
ground  plavs  and,  on  fourth  clown,  Donner  took  Ajjpleford's  short 
pass  in  the  left  flat  and  ran  over  standing  up  to  tie  the  score.  Cram 
calmly  kicked  the  point  to  give  Williams  a  14-1;3  edge. 

Blocked  Punt 

With  the  start  of  the  final  ipiarter,  Appleford  pas.sed  from 
his  own  46  to  the  Union  22  where  Kaufman  made  a  sensational 
diving  catch  for  the  first  down.  Union  stooped  the  Eph  running 
game  again  however,  and  Ap])leford's  third  down  |iass  was  inter- 
ce])ted  by  Janulionis. 

The  Garnets  drovi'  to  their  own  48  from  their  27  when'  they 
were  forced  to  punt.  Williams  took  the  ball  on  the  20  and  .Apple- 
ford  got  the  first  down  on  the  .'30  on  a  sneak.  ,\  clipping  iienaltv 
then  pushed  Williams  back  to  their  own  l.T  where  it  had  second 
and  24  to  go.  Donner  picked  up  17  of  these  yards  on  two  plavs  hut 
the  Ephs  were  forced  to  punt  on  the  3'3.  This  provetl  the  turning 
point  of  the  game  as  Cavoli  rushed  in  to  block  Marv  Weiiist<'iii  s 
boot,  picked  it  uji  on  the  bounce  and  ran  the  remaining  20  yards 
to  .score  with  no  Williams  num  near  him.  Sawyer's  conversion 
made  it,  20-14,  Union. 

liool  liilcrcepis 
With  7:40  still  to  go,  Williams  tried  desperately  to  salvage 
at  least  a  tie.  Stopping  Union,  the  ICphs  fought  to  midfield  on 
.Vppleford's  pass  to  Donner.  Api)leh)rd  laded  to  pass  on  the  ne.\t 
play  with  2:30  to  go  but  Don  Kot)t  intercepted  to  clinch  the  game 
for  the  scrappy  Garnets.

about  him  with  mace  and  broadsword.  This  explains 
how  a  conquered  count  happened  to  be  sampling  a

Once  there  was  a  muscle  that  walked  like  a  man.  He 
was  called  Charlemagne  and  he  was  King  of  the  Franks. 
(No,  his  daddy  didn't  own  a  slaughter-house  in  Cliicago. 
His  business  was  sticking  Saxons — not  pigs.)  It  is  said 
that  His  Majesty  stuck  his  sword  into  4,500  Saxons  in 


one  day,  and  that  he  is  the  real  originator  of  Shish 
kebab,  although  we  prefer  to  keep  an  open  mind  about 
this.  Now  when  Old  Charlie  wasn't  cutting  it  up  on  a 
battlefield  he  liked  to  live  it  up  in  a  castle,  his  favorite 
chow  being  a  haunch  of  venison  washed  down  with  a 
firkin  of  good  hearty  brew.  And  right  here  is  where  the 
old  boy  gets  his  name  in  Ughts  as  far  as  we're  concerned. 
He  introduced  his  beer  to  all  the  barbarians  lucky 
enough  to  be  alive  when  the  donnybrook  was  over.  In 
fact,  histxjry  has  it  that  he  took  his  brewery  with  liim 


And  speaking  of  beer 
— as  you  just  bet  we 
are— Old    Charlie 
would   really  flip  if 
he  could  see  how 
we've    improved   the 
brew  that  he  loved  so 
well.  He'd  trade  a  king- 
dom for  a  firkin  of 
today's  Budweiser. 
So  when  you  order  beer,  be  as 
choosey  as  Charlie    .  .  get  the  best. 
Treat  yourself  to  Budweiser. 
It's  great . . .  just  great.

vnlsh  obscurantist,  the  mean- 
■  and  .sensitivity  of  his  poetry 
uslly  understood  when  he  reads 
Himself. 

"rltlc  Alfred  Kazln,  In  a  "New 

iker"  article,    claimed   recently 

.:it    Mr.    CummuiBs'    work    has 

itured  very  little  .since  he  began 

itinK   In    the    early    1920's.    His 

lim  to  a  place  In  modem  poetry, 

lid  another  critic,  must  rest  "not 

)on  what  he  says— btt  upon  his 

.\y    of   snyinn    it — his    technical 

hievemcnts  In  extendinti  the  ca- 

.billtics  of  poetry." 

20th  Century  I'oet 

"Today."  said  Mr.  Kazln,  "a 
.;et  like  Cummln^.s  simply  plays 
inmself,  in  the  role  that  is  always, 
iKOVoklngly  and  unerriUBly,  that 
of  the  poet — the  la.st  of  the 
ilowns,  the  one  fool  left  with  in- 
r.ocence  or  brass  enoutih  to  .stand 
r.p  before  a  crowd,  bare  hi.s  heart, 
and  sass  the  age." 

Individualist  Cummings  put  It 
in  his  own  words:  "If  poetry  is 
.vour  goal,  you've  Kot  to  forgot  all 
about  punUshmenUs  and  all  about 
.selfstyled  obligations  and  duties 
and  responsibilities  etcetera  ad  in- 
finitum and  remember  one  thing 
only:  that  it's  you — nobody  el.se 
-who  determine  your  destiny  and 
decide  your  fate." 

Early  IJfe 

Born  in  1894,  Mr.  Cummings 
I'.rew  up  in  "cerebral  Cambridge", 
I  he  son  of  a  Unitarian  minister 
and  part-time  English  instructor 
at  Harvard.  He  graduated  from 
Harvard  in  1915.  where  his  main 
interesUs  were  Greek  and  Latin, 
;:nd  classical  English  liteature.  Mr. 
?;ummlngs  reflects  with  warmth 
■m  the  tradition-ridden  envlron- 
•nent  of  his  youth  and  on  his 
"miraculous  fortune  to  have  a 
'rue  father  and  a  true  mother". 

He  went  to  France  a.s  an  ambu- 
'ance  driver  before  the  United 
otates  entered  World  War  1.  Con- 
victed of  a  minor  military  offense. 
".Ir.  Cummings  described  his  ex- 
Jcrlence  In  a  French  war  prison  in 
'The  EnoiTOOUs  Room",  which  has 
'leen  called  one  of  the  best  "direct 
)bservatlon"  war  books  by  an 
\merican. 

Later  Life 

Following  the  example  of  most 
American  authors  of  the  early 
i920's,  he  lived  a.s  an  expatriate  in 
^aris.  His  description  of  the  city:

marked  change  from  last  year, 
when  the  talks  covered  problems

hoped  to  avoid  needless  repetition 
by  discussing  such  important  gen- 
eral topics  as  hott'  to  choose  a  car- 
eer, liow  advancement  is  made, 
what  to  look  for  in  a  job,  and  what 
the  chances  are  for  the  liberal 
arts  student  in  specialized  jobs.

actual  panel  discussions  on  specific 
jobs  will  take  place.  As  a  result  of

Unpublicized  Publicist  R.  R.  Renzi 
Puts  Williams  In  Favorable 


Light 


Hij  Ted  Castle 
"Go  see  Ralph  Henzi.  he  can  tell  von."  Dean  Robert  R.  R. 
Brooks  with  these  words  recently  referred  an  in(|niring  RECX)RD 
conipet  to  one  of  the  best  informed  men  at  Williams.  Puffing  his 
]5ip('  in  the  corner  of  a  large  )esu|)  Hall  office,  Renzi  daily  han- 
dles almost  all  news,  publicity,  andO 

other  information  to  cross  the 
purple  hills  and  tell  the  world  a- 
bout  the  College. 

The  College  Bulletin  lists 
"Ralph  R.  Renzi,  College  News  Di- 
rector and  Editor  of  the  Alumni 
Review".  In  speaking  of  his  two 
positions,  the  former  newspaper- 
man says,  "I  try  to  get  out  stories 
about  Williams  in  as  favorable  a 
light  as  possible,  of  course.  I  also 
try  to  make  the  Review  as  inter- 
esting as  possible  and  to  strengthen 
alumni  interest  in  Williams." 
As  a  Reporter 

The  News  Director's  previous 
training  has  ideally  prepared  him 
for  reporting  the  activities  of  the 
College  to  the  nation.  He  became 
Williams'  publicity  agent  after  a 
five-year  stint  on  the  staff  of  the 
Berkshire  Eagle  In  his  native 
Plttsfleld.  As  a  Williams  graduate 
with  the  Class  of  1943.  he  has  long 
been  acquainted  with  the  prob- 
lems of  the  College  and  the  in- 
terests of  its  alumni. 

The  position  which  Renzi  holds 
Is  one  which  offers  many  .services 
to  students,  administration,  alum- 
ni, and  the  public  at  large.  News 
Is  generally  given  him  by  the 
Dean's  office  or  by  President  Bax- 
ter, He  writes  a  story,  has  it  mim- 
eographed, and  sends  It  to  news- 
papers and  radio  stations  which 
would  have  an  Interest  in  the  par- 
ticular story.  In  addition,  his  of-

Houses    Open    Doors 
To  Wesmen,  Women 

By  Sandy  Hansell 

Saturday,  Nov.  10  -  A  large 
crowd  of  alumni,  visitors,  Wes- 
leyan  tans  and  even  a  few  stray 
dates  are  currently  enjoying  un- 
official Homecoming  festivities  on 
campus  this  weekend. 

The  focal  point  of  the  entire 
weekend,  of  course,  is  set  for  this 
afternoon  when  the  Williams  foot- 
ball team,  ,struggUng  to  shake  the 
shackles  of  a  disheartening  mid- 
season  slump,  will  open  its  quest 
for  Little  Three  honoi's  by  battling 
the  Wesleyan  Cardinals  at  Weston 
Field.  Game  time  is  2  p.m. 
Fewer    Alums 

Alumni  Society  Secretary  Char- 
es Hall  '15,  pointed  out  this  morn- 
ing, however,  that  the  number  of 
former  grads  who  have  returned 
this  weekend  is  smaller  than  pre- 
viously expected.  He  stated  the 
football  team's  unfortunate  change 
in  the  past  three  weeks  after  its 
tremendous  start  probably  was  a 
big  factor  in  the  decreased  atten- 
dance. 

In  light  of  the  fact  that  this  is 
an  "unofficial"  Homecoming,  the 
Alumni  office  has  scheduled  only 
one  official  function  over  the  en- 
tire weekend,  and  that  is  of  a 
relatively  minor  nature.  The  Com- 
mittee of  the  Alumni  House  will 
meet  there  at  10  a.m.  Sunday. 
Other  Attractions 

Otherwise,  a  full  round  of  sport- 
ing events,  a  pep  rally,  various  fra- 
ternity functions  and  Sunday 
morning  chapel  share  the  spot- 
light this  weekend.  Hall  noted, 
howevei',  that  there  is  some  con- 
1  sideration  being  given  to  changing 
the  official  Alumni  Homecoming 
from  Mid-Winter  to  Fall. 

A  steadily  decreasing  Mid-Win- 
ter attendance,  paiticularly  since 
fraternities  no  longer  hold  initia- 
tions at  that  time,  and  an  in- 
creasingly higher  interest  in  these 
traditional  autumn  affairs  is  the 
reason  behind  the  proposed 
change,  Hall  declared. 

The   Schedule   of   Events 

The  pep  rally  last  night  at 
Chapin  Hall  got  the  weekend  off  to 
an  auspicious  inaugural  as  the 
student  body  and  early-bird  alums 
gathered  to  display  infectious  en- 
thusiasm. 

At  10:30  this  morning,  the  var- 
sity soccer  and  freshman  soccer 
and  football  teams  all  will  take  on 
th?ir  Wesleyan  counterparts  at 
the  various  Cole  Fields.  The  Eph 
soccer  team  will  be  the  center  of 
attraction  there  this  morning,  as 
they  carry  a  respectable  4-2  slate, 
including  triumphs  over  Dart- 
I  mouth.  Harvard,  Mass,  and  Conn,.

The  Towle  Silversmiths  with  the 
intention  of  reviving  the  ancient 
craft  of  sculpture  in  silver  provid- 
ed an  opportunity  to  eight  con- 
temporary American  sculptors  to 
work  with  and  to  explore  the 
qualities  of  sterling  silver.  Al- 
though none  of  these  eight  artists 
had  previously  worked  in  silver, 
the  beauty  and  other  qualities  of 
the  metal  Inspired  all  of  them. 
Several  of  the  works  are  cast,  some 
hammered  and  others  welded,  and 
all  of  the  works  ,show  a  wide  range 
of  expression  and  technique.

The  People  Hive  Spo' en 

President  Eisenhower  has  been  given  one  of  the  greatest 
political  victories  in  history  by  the  American  people.  We  all  con- 
gratulate him  and  wish  him  the  best  of  success.  The  vote  of  con- 
fidence the  President  recei\ed  is  abo\e  all  a  |5ersonal  tribute  ra- 
ther than  a  \ictory  for  the  Keiiublican  Party.  The  feat  of  being 
elected  President  when  the  party  loses  both  Houses  of  Congress 
has  been  unequaled  in  modern  times. 

This  election  is  unusual  in  more  resjiects.  Some  of  the  can- 
didates most  avidly  sup]5orted  by  Eisenhower  suffered  losses; 
13ender  of  Ohio,  Langhe  of  Washington,  McKay  of  Oregon. 
Thornton  of  Colorado,  and  Duff  of  Peimsvlvania.  Contrary  to 
many  |iolitical  analysts,  ticket  splitting  does  not  apjiear  to  be  an 
occasional  phenomenon  but  rather  is  indicative  of  a  trend  that 
the  personal  a|3peal  of  a  candidate  can  outweigh  the  issues  of 
the  campaign.  In  all  cases  this  is  not  true— the  McKav-Morse 
struggle  in  Oregon. 

.\nother  explanation  of  the  past  election  is  that  the  voters 
subconsciously  do  not  trust  the  government  in  the  hands  of  only 
one  |iarty.  During  the  following  months  many  analysts  will  be 
tiying  to  access  the  complex  causes  underlying  the  outcome  of 
the  election.  The  Hungarian  revolt,  the  .Middle  East  crises,  the 
difficulty  of  replacing  the  "in"  party  during  times  of  relative 
prosperity,  all  will  bi'  mentioned  with  varying  degrees  of  stress. 

In  spite  of  his  defeat.  Adlai  Ste\enson  should  be  cominended 
for  waging  a  courageous  cam|5aign  and  bringing  out  issues  of 
enormous  significance  to  the  Uinted  States  and  the  Free  World. 
One  of  the  most  gracious  gestures  of  Stevenson  was  his  con- 
cession speech.  Here  he  urged  those  who  had  been  disappointed 
in  this  all-im))ortant  election  to  reflect  ui)on  the  fact  that  we  are 
agreed  011  the  important  issues  of  peace  and  |)ros|5erity  and  fur- 
ther, that  the  decision  was  made  by  the  people. 


Right  Wing  Article  Urges  Spread 
Of  New  Individualism  in  Colleges 

liil  Duvc  SkafI 

Saturday.  Nov.  10  -  "The  Sopbonioies  .Are  Coming"— This  is 
the  title  on  an  article  by  Frank  C:bodoi()V  in  the  September  22iid 
edition  of  Hiiiiuiii  FACiits,  a  reactionary  weekly  newsletter  publish- 
ed in  Washington.  The  right  wing  article  discusses  and  ilescribes 
the  growth  (it  a  new  group  appearing  in  U.S.  colleges  which 
calls  itself  the  Intercollegiate  Society  of  lndi\  idualists. 

Sponsored  by  Human  Ea'ntx.  the  Intercollegiate  Soci<'tv  ol 
indi\idnalists  is  described  by  the  article  as  a  "self-selected  group 
of  students  who  are  dissatisfied  with  things  as  thev  are  and  are 
searching  for  betterment."  Mr.  Chodoro\  speaks  of  the  "new  deal" 
as  a  levohition  brought  on  by  the  "sophomores"  ol  a  generation 
ago  that  has  submerged  the  nation  in  a  "cloutl  of  eollecti\  ism". 
The  new  sophomores  must  grasp  a  new  ideal  to  remoxc  this  cloud. 
He  is  (|uiek  to  point  out  that  the  new  sophomores  are  joined  by  a 
group  of  old  sophomores  that  remember  things  as  thev  were  to 
fight  for  a  new  climate  of  thought.  'I'he  burden  of  responsibilily, 
howexer,  rests  on  die  young  thinkeis  of  American  colleges  be- 
cause the  older  sophomores  are  limited  by  age. 

In  attacking  the  present  trend  of  "intervention"  and  "snb- 
\ention"  started  by  Roose\elt's  "New  Deal"  and  continued  by 
President  Eisenhower,  Chodorox'  claims  the  ISl  seeks  the  n.se  of 
libertarian  ideas  to  do  somediiug  about  the  present  situation.  The 
pmpose  of  the  ISl  seems  to  be  no  more  than  to  subscribe  to 
llumtin  Events  and  leceixe  with  their  membership  additional 
literature  on  current  problems  of  government.  To  the  average 
reader  this  appears  a  worthy  and  harmless  objective,  wherein  it 
is  really  a  means  ol  spreading  reactionary  literature. 

of  course,  no  mention  is  made  anywhere  in  Chodorox's  xvrit- 
iug  that  he  or  the  organization  stand  for  the  return  of  isolationism. 
Heading  between  the  lines,  howexer,  this  reporter  finds  in  the 
suggestions  presented  a  denunciation  of  the  jiresent  trend  ol  gov- 
ermnent  toward  closer  ties  with  our  allies  and  concern  lor  the 
welfare  of  the  public  as  nnxvise.  Using  terms  like  "libertariaiiism" 
and  "freedom"  in  such  a  way  as  to  excite  the  imagin:itions  ol  col- 
lege youths,  (>hodorox  is  seeking  to  gather  subscribers  to  reac- 
tionary literature  coated  xvidi  tlie  frosting  of  indixidnahsin,  which 
is  intended  to  influence  the  thinking  of  impressionable  college  stu- 
dents toxyard  a  return  to  isolationism. 

The  membership  of  the  ISl  lists  4000  members,  xvhile  it  has  a 
goal  of  lOO.OOO  members.  It  adnnts  it  is  a  radical  moxi'inent.  as- 
serting that  the  radical  is  needed  to  find  the  "nexv"  solution  lor 
efficient  goxcru'iuMit.  Excerpts  from  the  article  gixi'  the  alert 
reader  an  insight  into  the  goal  of  the  ISl  to  find  the  tools  lor  tlie 
spread  of  reactionary  feeling  in  the  college  student.  "Those  ol  us 
xvho  look  ii|)on  socialism  in  all  its  lorms  as  the  worship  ot  lalse 
gods  are  of  necessity  cast  into  the  role  ol  radicals  .  .  .  The  xxork 
of  the  radical  is  first  of  all  to  plant  ideas.  .\nd  the  most  promising 
soil  for  this  xvork  is  the  developing  ami  fertile  nniid  of  the  x'onng 
student  .  .  .  The  |)in])ose  of  the  Intercollegiate  Society  ol  Indi- 
xidualists  is  to  find  that  student  and  ecpiip  him  widi  a  philosophy. 
.More  exactly,  he  finds  himself  xvben  the  philosoplix'  is  presented 
to  him."

Question:  What's  funny,  honey?  Answer: 


IF  YOU'RE  A  SMOKER  who's  never  tried 
smoke  ring,  get  in  there  and  start  puffing. 
While  you're  at  it,  remember:  Lucky  smoke 
rings  come  from  fine  tobacco.  This  makes  no 
difference  to  the  smoke  ring,  but  it  does  to 
you.  You  see,  fine  tobacco  means  good  taste, 
and  Luckies'  fine,  naturally  good-tasting 
tobacco  is  TOASTED  to  taste  even  better. 
So  make  your  next  cigarette  a  Lucky,  and 
call  your  first  smoke  ring  a  Proud  Cloud.

right,  Dick  Repp  moving  into  the

Hi/  Chuck  Diinkcl 

Saturday,  Nov.  10  -  'i'lie  Williams  varsity  football  team  will 
meet  a  detennined  Wesleyan  eleven  in  an  inipoitant  Little  Three 
contest  at  1:.30  on  Weston  P'ield.  A  Williams  \ictoiy  will  cause 
next  Saturday's  .Amherst  j^aiiie  to  he  a  show-down  battle  for  the 
leaj^ue  chanipionship,  while  Wesleyan  iiiiist  win  today  to  preserve 
any  chance  ol  retaining  the  title  they  won  last  season, 

(^oaeli  .Norm  Daniels'  Wesle\an  sipiad  was  the  preseason  fa- 
vorite to  win  tlu'  Little  Three  again  and  impro\c  on  their  .5-3  rec- 
ord ot  last  year,  ilowexer.  the  Cardinals  base  not  li\i'd  up  to  ex- 
pectations so  far,  and  they  bring  a  uiediocie  2-3-1  record  into  to- 
day's game.  Wesleyan  has  defeated  Rochester  and  Coast  Guard 
while  tieiiig  lla\erford  and  losing  to  WPI,  Middlebnrv,  and  Am- 
herst, .Vmherst's  smashing  ,32-0  \'ictorv  o\er  the  Wesinen  gi\es  the 
visitors  from  .Middletown,  Conn,,  an  0-1  recoicl  in  league  compe- 
tition, and  this  means  that  a  loss  to  Williams  will  ))lace  them  last 
in  the  standings. 

L.vc.v  Splil-T  (Iffcimc 

Wesleyan  uses  primarily  the  con\cntional  split-T  offense, 
while  rmuiiug  fre(picut  trap  plays,  although  the  team  occasionally 
employs  a  spread-formation.  The  (.'artlinals  have  a  fine  \eteran 
hackfield  of  Larry  lloyer  at  (piarterhack.  |iin  Eglin  and  |erry  Ba- 
ker at  the  halfs,  and  Norm  Wissing  at  fullback.  IJover  is  noted  for 
his  passing  prowess,  while  Wissing  is  an  outstanding,  haid-nni- 
iiing  fullback.  Three  dependable  veterans  anchor  the  line,  with 
Hob  Peek  at  center  and  Paul  N'oii  Plouski  and  co-captain  |ack  (^or- 
rodi  at  the  tackles.  Ken  Travis  aud  Walt  Kearny  will  probably 
start  at  ends,  with  Mel  Cote  aud  Dave  Mitchell  likely  to  start  at 
the  guards. 

U'illiams  will  face  the  difficult  task  this  afternoon  of  boiiuc- 
ing  back  from  two  ilemorali/.ing  defeats  aud  regaining  the  lorni 
which  saw  the  iLphincn  win  their  first  four  games.  The  Ephs  are 
certainly  a  better  team  than  they  showed  against  Tufts  and  Union 
the  last  two  weekends,  and  hopes  are  high  that  tlie  ))rospect  of  a 
Little  Three  title  will  fire  C^oach  Leii  Walter's  squad  to  their  early 
season  form.  This  will  be  the  filst  football  game  between  the  two 
.schools,  with  Williams  holding  a  34-22  margin,  four  games  having 
ended  in  ties.  Last  season  the  Cardinals  romped  to  an  easy  .52-20 
win  over  the  Ephmen. 

Undefeated  Frosh  Football  Squad 
Engages  Twice  Beaten  Wesleyan 

Hi/  Jiiii  Rdhinson 
Saturday,  Nov.  3  -  Seeking  die  first  leg  of  the  Little  Three 
title  the  undefeated  Ei)h  freshman  football  team  takes  on  tra- 
ditional rival  Wesleyan  before  the  lloineconiing  crowd  on  Wes- 
ton Field  at  10:30  this  morniiig.  Last  year's  chaiiipioiLship  team 
overpowered  Wesleyan  by  a  43-6  margin. 

C^oach  Frank  Navarro's  powerful  frosh  contingent  has  rolled 
to  three  straight  victories  this  season,  .\fter  setting  back  N't'rmont 
12-6  in  the  season's  opener  tliev  pulled  an  upset  victory  over  a 
strong  .\iidover  s(|uad,  27-21,  and  completely  overvvhehiied  their 
H.P.I.  op|)ouents  (Jii  Parents'  Day  last  vveckeud  bv'  a  33-0  margin. 
Aiulierst  Beats  Wcslciiuii 
Wesleyan  has  not  fared  as  well.  Trinity  whip]5ed  them  by  a 
26-0  score  in  their  opening  contest  and  .\mlierst  edged  them  out 
in  a  13-7  contest.  \  bad  break  was  the  decisive  factor  in  this  game. 
A  Weslevan  TD  was  called  back  by  the  referee. 

Mr.  Navarro  said  that.  "Von  can't  tell  by  scores  who  will  win 
or  lose.  Their  team  will  be  up  for  the  game  and  I  hojje  so  will 
ours. "  Previous  years  show  that  u])sets  are  a  common  occurence 
in  these  traditional  rivalries  becau.se  of  the  S)iirit  shown  by  all 
competitors. 

Mead,  (yfiricu  Fortifi/  Line 
"We  have  been  getting  a  lot  of  good  play  out  of  Hill  Mead  and 
John  O'Hrien  at  guards"  said  Coach  Navano.  O'Hrien  and  Ed 
Eggers  set  u])  the  initial  blocks  vvhicli  enabled  halfback  Bob  Rorke 
to  go  for  an  .S2-vd.  touchdown  against  H,P,I,  last  vvei'k.  There  also 
has  been  good  down  field  blocking  by  all  members  of  the  team. 

,  Bob  Kaufman,  brother  of  var- 
sity star  halfback  Wliitey  Kauf- 
man has  shovsn  outstanding  prom- 
ise and  is  playing  first  string  cen- 
ter. Other  starting  line  men  will 
be;  Al  Erb  and  Sandy  Smith  at 
ends:  co-captain  Pay  Vincent, 
tackle. 

Outstanding  backs  thus  far  in- 
clude Jim  Brlggs.  Bob  Rorke  and 
co-captain  Bob  Stegeman.  Quar- 
terback Brlggs  has  been  a  main- 
stay this  season  and  last  week 
completed  six  out  of  eight  passes 
and  scored  a  TD.  Rorke  is  the  lead- 
ing scorer  with  four  touchdowns 
and  has  been  a  good  halfback; 
Stegeman.  a  powerful  fullback,  was 
the  key  player  In  the  Andover  tri- 
umph. Dave  Gordon  is  the  other 
halfback  in  the  strong  backfleld.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD  SATURDAY,  NON'EMBER  10,  1956 


Winnacker  Lauds 
Fall  Houseparties 

Many  Factors  Aid 
"Quieter    Weekend" 

Saturday,  Nov.  10  -  Social 
Council  President  John  Winnacker 
commented  that  the  Oct.  27  week- 
end was  "the  finest  houseparty  I 
have  seen  in  my  three  years  at 
Williams".  The  statement  came 
in  the  weekly  SC  meeting  Tues- 
day. Efforts  to  keep  Winter  Car- 
nival on  the  same  high  plane  are 
now  under  scrutiny  in  Gargoyle, 
College  Council  and  Social  Coun- 
cil. 

Winnacker  named  several  fac- 
tors which  he  thought  had  led 
to  a  "quieter  weekend",  among 
them,  widespread  discussions  on 
the  houseparty  issue  prior  to  the 
weekend,  and  the  disappearance  of 
the  "wild  fraternity  man"  type 
which  prevailed  as  a  result  of 
freshman  rushing. 

No   Home   Games 

In  the  ensuing  discussion,  Dick 
Flood,  Kappa  Alpha  representa- 
tive, pointed  out  that  the  Winter 
Ci^rnival  Schedule  will  have  a 
dangerous  gap  Saturday  afternoon, 
caused  by  the  lack  of  home  hockey 
and  swimming  events.  The  WOC 
was  forced  to  switch  the  Carnival 
from  Feb.  9  to  Feb.  22,  after  learn- 
ing of  a  last-minute  date-switch 
by  Dartmouth.  The  Wrestling  and 
Squash  teams  have  home  meets, 
but  It  is  too  late  to  reschedule  the 
other  events.  Flood  said. 

Among  possible  activities  sug- 
gested for  Saturday  afternoon  were 
intra-mui-al  hockey  and  basket- 
ball games,  a  macinee  perfo.m- 
ance  of  the  AU-Coliege  Review  and 
a  one-day  snow  sculpture  contest. 
Tom  Penney  '58,  Winter  Carnival 
Chairman,  Bill  Maran  '57,  WOC 
President,  and  Peter  Cullman  '69, 
All-College  Review  chairman  will 
be  invited  to  discuss  the  problem 
at  next  Tuesday's  SC  meeting. 

The  SC  agreed  to  postpone  fi- 
nal decisions  on  the  matter  until 
they  hear  the  report  of  a  CC 
Houseparty  Committee  headed  by 
Whltey  Kaufman  '58.  Discussions 
on  hazing  were  ako  put  off,  until 
Gargoyle's  report  on  hazing  Is 
m.ade  public  early  next  week.

Homecoming  .  .  . 

At  11:30  a.m.  the  frosh  cross- 
country squad  will  run  against 
Wesleyan,  followed  by  the  varsity 
harrier  meet  between  the  two 
schools  at  noon. 

The  Big  One 

The  54-piece  Williams  College 
Marching  Band  will  lead  a  parade 
down  Spring  Street  to  Weston 
Field  for  the  big  grid  battle.  The 
band  will  leave  Chapln  Hall  at 
1:30.  Wesleyan,  the  defending  Lit- 
tle Three  champs,  will  be  out  to 
retain  a  foothold  In  the  champ- 
ionship race  by  upsetting  the  fav- 
ored Ephs.  The  Cardinals  have  al- 
ready lost  32-0  to  Amherst. 

Meanwhile,  Coach  Len  Watters 
will  have  his  charges  sky-high  In 
an  effort  to  again  find  winning 
ways.  The  Purple  is  smarting  from 
a  close  shave  at  Bowdoln  and 
losses  at  the  hands  of  Tufts  and 
Union  in  the  past  three  weeks. 

It  marks  the  final  home  game 
of  the  1956  season. 

Various  fraternities  will  be 
throwing  cocktail  parties  after  the 
game  and  a  few  may  be  having 
bands  in  tonight  for  informal 
house  dances.  Several  of  the 
houses  also  are  planning  Alumni 
meetings. 


search  of  alumni  who  have  dis- 
tinguished themselves,  and  gen- 
erally has  complete  control  over 
the  policies  and  content  of  the 
Review.  In  his  office  he  Is  flanked 
by  the  mounted  covers  of  the  Re- 
views he  has  edited  during  his 
four  years  here.  That  he  can  be 
justly  proud  of  those  issues  Is 
shown  by  an  excerpt  of  an  alum- 
1  ni  letter  he  received  and  published 
in  the  Review.  "I  believe  that  the 
Alumni  Review  under  your  master 
hand  is  surpassingly  good  and 
something  which  Williams  de- 
serves and  needs.  Ifou  deserve  all 
the  credit  in  the  Williams  world." 

"The  Review  is  oriented  for 
alumni  but  our  aim  is  to  make  It 
interesting  to  anyone  who  might 
read  it,"  says  Renzi  about  his  ma- 
gazine. During  his  editorship,  the 
style  has  been  modernized  and 
various  technical  Improvements 
initiated.  The  use  of  student  art 
and  photography  work  if  now  en- 
couraged. In  selection  of  material, 
he  tries  to  find  items  of  interest 
but  does  not  hesitate  to  use  con- 
troversial stories.  Arguments  for 
and  against  articles  printed  are 
seen  to  rage  from  time  to  time 
among  the  letters  to  the  editor  in- 
dicating alumni  interest  in  the 
publication. 

Renzi    Himself 

A  stocky  man  of  medium  height, 
short  dark  hair  in  a  crew  cut,  dark 
rimmed  glasses,  and  a  brisk,  swing- 
ing gait  characterize  Ralph  Renzi. 

After  Pittsfield  High  School  and 
Williams,  he  was  an  infantryman 
for  thi'ee  years.  He  now  occupies, 
with  his  wife  and  four  youngsters, 
a  light  gray  home  on  Grace  Court 
which  he  enjoys  improving  when 
he  has  time.  A  powder  blue  station 
wagon  and  a  number  of  boxwood 
hedges  (Renzi  trimmed)  are  the 
cardinal    features    of    the    yard. 

When  he  reads,  it  is  likely  to  be 
science  fiction,  "I  am  trying  to 
learn  to  take  pictures,"  he  sayt> 
with  a  smile.  "Some  of  them  havt 
come  out  pretty  well."  This  typi- 
fies Ralph  Renzi,  for  Williams 
can  be  sure  that  anything  he  un- 
dertakes will  come  out  pretty  well.

making  Icsls  and  surveys  prior  to  the 
raising  of  a  radio  relay  tower. 

That's  part  of  Don's  jol)  as  an  enpinepr 
with  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Company.  With  other  yiiuiig  engineers

menl  for  moliile  radio,  radio  relay  and

He  has  to  answer  a  lot  of  questions, 
such  as  "How  high  must  the  lowers  he? 
How  much  will  access  roads  cost?  What 
will  the  control  circuits  cost?   What  arc 


the  chances  of  transmission  interfer-

On  the  other  hand,  President  Ha.xter  stated  that  hi'  helieved 
I  ,at  Steven.son  would  not  run  for  the  ])resideiicy  in  four  years. 
I  iiillips  also  asserted  that  Stevenson  would  retire  as  an  "elder

iirdy  as  the  future  Uemocratie  lead<'r  while  Phillips  helievcil  the 
..juthful  Kennedy.  Johnson  and  McCormaek  will  lead  the  party. 

President  lia.\ter  fell  that  a  very  important  result  of  tlic  elec- 
liiin  was  the  apparent  split  in  the  Democratic  Party  hi'tweeii  the 
iiDrlhern  and  southern  meiuhers.  The  President  h'lt  that  to  heal

President  Baxter  also  commented  on  the  C.O.P.'s  sti-enj;tli  in 
urban  areas  and  in  the  larj^e  cities  which  presents  a  definite  con- 
trast with  previous  election  results.  (Jarlson  al.so  saw  a  definiti' 
<lisnnitv  in  both  parties:  between  the  (Conservatives  and  the  lib- 
erals in  the  liepnblican  Party  and  between  the  northern  and

Middle  Eastern  and  Euiiipean  crisis  helped  swell  Ikes  i^reat  ma- 
jority. There  was  also  t;eneral  at^reement  that  Ike's  personal  popu- 
larity and  his  ideals  such  as  peace  and  prosperity  were  the  deci- 
sive issues  in  the  election.  The  farm  policy  and  other  ilomestic 
issues  were  shoved  into  the  baekuronnd.  President  Baxter  stated 
lliat  in  his  lifetime  I'jsenhower  and  Franklin  Hoosevelt  are  cer- 
lainly  the  two  most  popular  political  li^ures. 

('.(irl.soii  Vim  X  Jwiriti  Vnlr  .  .     . 

Carlson  believed  tlu'  pri'sidential  landslide  to  be  a  personal 
endorsement  '  f  Ike.  but  he  pointed  to  the  farm  states  that  went 
Democratic  in  the  conjircssional  election  as  well  as  to  the  defeats 
of  the.  Hepnblican  candidates  McKay,  BentU'r.  Duff  and  Lant;ley. 
all  of  whom  had  Eisenhower's  personal  backinj;.  In  relation  to  this 
Prof.  Burns  slated  that  although  the  peo])le  of  the  United  States 
liked  Ike,  they  were  not  e(|nally  fond  of  the  CO. P.  Commentini; 
on  the  conj^ressional  elections.  Dave  Philli]-)s  felt  that  the  Hepub- 
licans  will  have  to  develop  ai]  "Eisenhower  type  of  Uepnblicanisni " 
and  more  K'aders  like  Ike. 

Althoni;h  the  p'ueral  opinion  was  that  there  existed  a  j^reat 
apathy  anion^  the  voters.  President  Baxter  pointed  out  that  there 
was  still  a  lari;e  turnout  despite  the  decrease  in  voters  from  19.52. 
lie  added  that  in  19.52  the  overall  picture  was  closer  and  the  pres- 
idential election  was  more  tense.  This  closeness  natinally  polled 
more  voters.  All  agreed  that  the  foreign  crisis  increased  tlie  num- 
ber of  voters.

Conference  To  Conclude 
Haystack    Celebrations; 
Schuman     To     Speak 


Wednesday,  Nov.  14  —  Wedjie 
Owen  '57.  president  of  the  Wll- 
iiams  College  Chapel,  has  an- 
nounced that  the  WCC,  in  co-oper- 
ation with  the  Student  Christian 
Association  of  New  England,  will 
spon.sor  "the  concluding  exercise"  i 
of  the  Hay.stack  Sesquicentennial 
on  the  7th,  8th  and  9th  of  Decem- 
ber. P:om  150  to  200  .students  from 
thirty  different  colleges  are  ex- 
pected to  attend  the  conference. 

At  the  invitation  of  the  WCC, 
Dr.  Frederick  L.  Schuman  of  the 
political  science  department  and 
D;.  Pail  Lehman  of  the  Harvard 
Divinity  School  will  speak  before 
he  p.ilherina.  Tlie  planning  for 
this  phase  of  the  College  Chapel 
activities  is  under  the  direction  of 
Eric  Butler  '57. 

Chr-stian  "Guide  Post'* 

Owen  explained  that  the  theme 
of  this  conference  is  "faith  for  one 
\\orld."  The  conferees  will  "at- 
tempt to  explore  the  world  situa- 
tion in  a  Christian  light,  and  see 
if  Christianity  can  provide  a  guide 
post." 

Tlie  conference  will  center 
around  a  "Pars '  panel  group  from 
Union  Theological  Seminary.  Made 
up  of  from  fifteen  to  twenty  grad- 
uate students  in  advanced  theolo- 
gy, the  panel  includes  persons  from 
Burma,  India  and  other  countries 
throughout  the  world.  They  wilt 
also  be  deininai  itnUeib. 

The  occasion  for  the  gathering 
is  the  150th  anniversary  of  .the 
founding  of  the  .American  foreign 
missionary  movement  at  Williams 
College  by  five  students,  huddled 
under  a  haystack  waiting  for  a 
rain  storm  to  abate.  Other  cele- 
brations during  the  year  have  been 
a  special  convocation  of  the  college 
and  several  denominational  con- 
ferences. Certificates  were  also 
mailed  to  those  men  who  are  now 
participating  in  missionary  work 
under  the  auspices  of  this  move- 
ment.

Weinstein's  Passes  Lead 
Ephs    In    Final    Drive 

By  Chuck  Dunkel 

Saturday,  Nov.  10  -  The  Williams 
var.iity  football  team  was  unable 
to  capitalize  on  three  good  scor- 
ing opportunities  this  afternoon  as 
an  in.spired  Wesleyan  squad  battled 
the  Ephs  to  a  scoreless  tie  on  Wes- 
ton Field  before  5000  shivering 
spectators. 

As  the  game  ended,  Williams  was 
on  the  Wesleyan  eleven  yard  line, 
after  having  moved  53  yards  in  two 
plays  on  successive  passes  from 
Marv  Weinstein  to  Bob  Hatcher, 
the  first  one  covering  43  yards. 
With  two  seconds  remaining,  Norm 
Cram  was  rushed  in  to  attempt  a 
game  winning  field  goal,  but  the 
clock  ran  out  before  he  could  get 
the  kick  in  the  air  and  Wesleyan 
had  gained  a  hard-fought  tie. 

As  a  result  of  this  game,  Amherst 
now  leads  the  Little  Three  with  a 
1-0  record,  while  Williams  is  sec- 
ond with  0-0-1  and  Wesleyan  is 
last    with    an    0-1-1    slate.    Tliis

C.  C.  Hears  Outline 


Williamstown.  Nov.  12  -  The 
College  Coi;ncil  tonight  heard  the 
ropo.t  of  the  Purple  Key  Society. 
The  report,  given  by  Jack  Tall- 
madge '57,  Vice-President  of  the 
Key,  was  an  optimistic  review  of 
the  activities  of  the  recently-form- 
ed  organization. 


by  Joe  Albright 

Wednesday,  Nov.  14  -  A  move 
to  .stop  all  competitive  selling  by 
undergi-aduates  in  dormitories  and 
frateiiii»ity,,.houses  was  initiated  by 
a  grd^  ^ot  Spring  Street  mer- 
chants one  week  ago,  the  REC- 
ORD learned >i^day.  (For  Iriifer- 
views  with  the  merchants,  see  page 
four). 

The  action  came  at  a  meeting 
of  the  Williamstown  Board  of 
Trade  last  Wednesday.  According 
to  Joe  Miller  of  the  Chapel  Press, 
president  of  the  Williamstown 
lioard  of  Trade,  their  stand  may 
well  result  in  legp.l  procedures 
against  the  College. 

Letters  of  Complaint 

At  the  meeting  the  businessmen 
were  asked  to  pfepare  official  let- 
ters of  complaint,  and  in  Miller's 
words,  "until  I  get  these  letters, 
nothing  will  be  done."  So  far  no 
letters  have  been  submitted,  but 
Miller  indicated  that  at  least  four 
merchants  are  considering  this 
step.  He  declined  to  name  them, 
but  from  all  indications,  if  protests 
are  made,  they  will  come  from  the 
clothing,  shoe  and  Jewelry  mer- 
chants. 

"If  we  get  these  letters  of  com- 
plaint, we'll  go  as  far  as  we  can 
with  the  matter.  We  want  to  see  if 
we  can  stop  them  from  selling  al- 
together. I  suppose  it  would  only 
take  one  letter  to  initiate  action, " 
Miller  stated. 

Consult  Flynt 

"We  decided  at  the  meeting  that 


Mr.  Henry  N.  Fiynt.  Jr.,  who 
stated  that  the  student  agencies 
are  an  important  source  of  in- 
come for  needy  students. 

if  we  receive  complaints  in  writing, 
we  would  go  to  see  Mr.  Flynt,  (di- 
rector of  student  aid)  to  see  if 
there  was  anything  he  could  do  to 
stop  the  boys  from  selling,  to  get 
them  to  see  the  light.  If  we  can't 
get  any  satisfaction  from  him,  we 
will  see  if  there  is  any  legal  pro- 
cedure.' 

The  merchants  will  apparently 
base  their  objections  on  Section 
5a.  Chapter  59  of  the  Common- 
wealth of  Massachusetts  general 
laws  relating  to  taxes  and  special

Student  Services  Aid 
Ephmen,  Flynt  Says 

The  foUov\'ing  is  a  quotation 
from  Mr.  Henry  N.  Flynt,  di- 
rector of  student  aid  at  Wil- 
liams, made  when  asked  for  his 
opinion  of  the  present  system 
of  student  agencies  In  light  of 
the  unofficial  releases  from  the 
Williamstown  Board  of  Trade. 

"Students  have  been  selling 
things  since  long  before  my  time 
here — the  Student  Laundry  goes 
back  to  about  1912.  I  think  it  is 
the  oldest.  There  is  nothing  new 
about  any  of  this,  from  selling 
parkas  to  birthday  cakes.  As  for 
the  college  rules,  students  are 
not  allowed  to  maintain  a  bus- 
iness, or  keep  an  inventory  in 
any  college  room.  But  going 
from  room  to  room  taking  or- 
ders lias  never  been  considered 
against  the  rules.  And  fraterni- 
ties, being  off  of  college  proper- 
ty, are  not  covered  under  the 
statement  that  business  should 
not  be  maintained  on  college 
property  or  in  college  buildings. 
I  will  definitely  state  that  the 
agencies  on  campus  are  a  great 
benefit  to  a  large  number  of 
needy  students,  and  as  such  we 
would  like  very  much  to  keep 
them  legally.  Perhaps  a  reexam- 
ination of  the  student  agency 
system  should  be  made  at  this 
time." 


following    the   program. 

The  Key  Record 

The  Key  also  plans  to  hold  a 
smoker  for  Sophomores  after 
Thanksgiving  vacation.  At  this 
time  a  film  of  the  Amherst  foot- 
ball game  will  be  shown.  Sopho- 
mores will  be  told  about  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  new  organization 
which  is  made  up  of  Juniors  and 
is  self-perpetuating. 

The  Purple  Key  has  been  active 
in  numerous  fields.  It  has  received 
visiting  teams,  publicized  athletic 
events.  Issued  sports  programs,  and 
guided  potential  Williams  stu- 
dents around  the  campus  on  a 
voluntaiy  basis.  Council  President 
Dee  Gardner  observed  that  the 
Purple  Key  has.  and  can.  "perform 
many  valuable  functions  for  the 
college".  The  CC  commended  the 
Purple  Key  on  its  work  to  date. 

Disciplinary  Action 

Dean  Robert  Brooks  noted  two 
recent  cases  of  disciplinary  action. 
A  member  of  the  Junior  class  has 
been  suspended  for  a  year  for 
plaigarism.  A  Sophomore  was  sus- 
pended for  an  equal  length  of  time 
for  driving  without  permission. 
Both  students  admitted  their  of- 
fense and  elected  not  to  appear 
before  the  Student-Faculty  Dis- 
ciplinary Committee. 

Dean  Brooks  noted  that  both 
student  and  faculty  branches  of 
the  committee  were  consulted  in 
this  matter.  He  reasserted  the  fact 
that  the  student-faculty  commit- 
tee is  tremendously  important  in 
rendering  disciplinary  decisions. 


before  you  think".  His  preoccu- 
pation with  the  destructive  ten- 
dencies of  modern  man  was  ex- 
pressed. "Peace  is  ilie  inefficiency 
of  science;  vj'ar  is  the  science  of 
inefficiency". 

Mr.  Cummings  continued  with 
readings  of  poetry,  beginning  with 
that  perennial  favorite  of  Eng-  j 
lish  I,  "Buffalo  Bill's  defunct  who 
used  to  ride  a  watersmooth  sil- 
ver . . .".  With  a  singular  capacity 
of  making  death  appear  humorous, 
he  recounted  in  poetic  form  the 
epic  of  unlucky  "Uncle  Sam",  a 
failure  in  every  type  of  agricul- 
tural enterprise  but  who  undaunted 
established,  upon  his  demise,  a 
worm  farm.  In  a  whining  falsetto 
Mr.  Cummings  aped  the  folksy, 
cracker-barrel  orating  and  emoting 
of  a  super-patriotic  Fourth  of 
July  or  Veteran's  Day  or  Memorial 
Day  of  Parmburg,  Iowa,  Bicenten- 
nial Day  speaker.  Unconsciously 
tapping  his  foot  with  each  accent- 
ed syllable.  Mr.  Cummings  em- 
phasized sections  of  his  poems: 
"The  godless  are  the  dull,  and 
the  dull  are  the  damned". 

Skirting  poems  probably  best 
known  for  their  unusual  visual 
effect,  the  noted  poet  pronounced 
Judgment  upon  many  phases  of 
life  in  our  democracy.  Sample;  "A 
politician  is  an  a;se  upon  v^hich 
everything  has  sat  except  a  man". 
Mr.  Cummings  used  every  tonal 
effect  to  convey  the  feeling  of  his 
poetry  to  his  listeners:  sometimes 
whi.spering,  sometimes  singing, 
often  raising  his  resonant  voice  to 
the  cracked  tones  of  an  old  man. 
The  appreciation  of  the  audience 
was  expressed  by  its  demand  of 
first  one  encore,  then  another.  Mr. 
Cummings  met  informally  with 
students  and  faculty  after  the  pro- 
gram in  the  Faculty  House. 


they  hope  to  stand  any  chance  a- 
gainst  the  pov\'erful  Jeffs.  Wesle- 
yan has  no  chance  of  regaining  the 
title  they  won  last  season,  and  the 
Cardinals  now  have  a  mediocre 
2-3-2  record  with  one  game  re- 
maiiiing. 

Ephs  Stopped  Twice 

Coach  Norm  Daniel's  squad  was 
far  from  the  team  of  last  year, 
which  beat  Williams  40-20.  but  the 
Wesmen's  hard-charging  line  off- 
set the  Ephs  superior  strength  and 
forced  the  young  Williams  team 
to  make  many  costly  mistakes.  The 
Cardinals  twice  stopped  Purple 
scoring  drives  inside  the  five  yard 
line,  while  holding  Coach  Len  Wat- 
ters  squad  to  only  142  yards  rush- 
ing and  70  yards  passing,  53  of 
these  coming  in  the  last  25  seconds 
of  the  game. 

Williams  also  played  a  strong  de- 
fensive game,  but  the  Eph  line  was 
unable  to  open  the  holes  on  of- 
fense which  would  have  meant  vic- 
tory. Co-captain  Norm  Wisslng  was 
the  v\'orkhorse  for  the  Cardinals  as 
he  took  up  some  of  the  slack  left 
by  the  absence  of  star  halfback 
Jerry  Baker,  who  missed  the  game 
because  of  injuries.  The  hard-run- 
ning fullback  carried  25  times  for 
148  yards,  by  far  the  best  offen- 
sive performance  of  the  afternoon. 

Each  team  had  three  good  scor- 
ing opportunities  in  the  game,  but 
all  to  no  avail.  Wesleyan  threaten- 
ed first  early  in  the  second  quarter, 
when  Larry  Hoyer  intercepted  a 
Higgin's  pass  on  the  Williams  42

ing downed.  However,  the  strong

Letter  to  the  Football  Team 


Professor  Schuman  Presents  Talk 
On  Recent  Journey  To  Soviet  Russia 


Ouce  a^aiii  there  ari.se.s  the  (Question  coueeruirig  the  Football 
Team.  Thi.s  i.s  a  delicate  to]5ic  but  it  is  one  that  is  predominant  in 
the  minds  of  most  students,  aliuiini  and  friends  of  Williams.  The 
easiest  v.r.y  for  the  RECORD  to  handle  the  situation  would  be  to 
ignore  it.  But  the  tras^edv  of  this  course  is  that  submerged  feelings 
ill  a  caniijus  as  closeiy  knit  as  Williams  is  most  unhealthy.  A  sec- 
ond course  of  aet'oii  would  be  to  release  an  unmerciless  attack. 
This  is  Irequeutly  done  by  many  college  newspapers  including 
those  in  the  Ivy  League.  However,  the  RECORD  wishes  to  deal 
with  this  issue  by  ex|5ressing  itself  with  honesty  and  candor. 

The  facts  are  siinple  and  well  known  to  everyone.  At  the  start 
of  the  season  the  Football  Team  was  powerful  and  exhibited  a 
great  amoimt  of  potentiality.  After  the  disappointing  seasons  in 
the  past,  many  fans  felt  that  at  last  Williams  football  was  coming 
into  its  own.  During  the  past  three  weeks  the  team  has  not  shown 
its  earlier  form  nor  lived  up  to  its  potential.  Because  of  this  let- 
down the  spectators  tend  to  search  for  a  scajjegoat  whether  it  be 
the  players  or  the  coaches.  Perhaps  the  time  has  come  for  some 
consideration.  Is  the  question,  "\Vhat  hapi^ened?"  a  fair  reward 
for  a  person  who  has  swealed  his  guts  out  since  Sejjtember  1st? 

The  best  thing  that  can  happen  now  is  for  the  past  to  be  for- 
gotten and  more  thought  placed  on  Amherst.  Our  rivals  from  over 
the  hills  have  been  thrashed  by  Springfield  and  Trinity.  For  the 
past  three  years  the  Williams  Yearlings  have  emerged  successful 
in  their  encounters  with  the  Jeffs.  On  Saturday  the  team  has  our 
wholehearted  sujjijort  and  nothing  could  make  us  prouder  than 
their  victory  Saturday. 


Letter  to  the  Editor 


To  the  Editor  of  the  Record: 

I  am  profoundly  upset  by  the  tenor  of  Dave  Skaff's  article  on 
the  Intercollegiate  Society  of  Individualists.  I  do  not  deny  that 
there  is  room  to  criticize  the  group,  I  myself  do  at  times.  But  Mr. 
Skaff  has  chosen  to  criticize  by  innuendo  rather  than  by  reasoned 
argument.  "Reading  between  the  lines"  he  finds  the  ISI  "reaction- 
ary". This  hurling  of  epithets  is  insufficient,  for  the  grounds  of  dis- 
agreement should  be  issues,  not  name-calling.  I  wonder  if  Mr. 
Skaff  realizes  that  on  the  subject  of  international  trade  the  ISI 
calls  for  an  end  to  tariffs  and  for  free  trade,  while  the  ADA,  in 
standing  for  low  reciprocal  tariffs,  lies  to  the  right.  This  example 
should  prove  that  it  is  not  enough  to  call  names,  for  clarity's  sake 
one  must  point  out  the  issues  which  make  another  reactionary. 

Yet,  for  the  purpose  of  argument,  I  will  concede  that  reading 
between  the  lines  is  legitimate.  Mr.  Skaff  states,  "To  the  average 
reader  this  (the  spreading  of  literature  on  problems  of  govern- 
ment) appears  a  worthy  and  harmless  objective,  wherein  it  is  real- 
ly a  means  of  spreading  reactionary  literature."  I  don't  think  one 
has  to  read  between  the  lines  here  to  say  that  Mr.  Skaff  seems  will- 
ing to  deny  reactionaries  the  right  to  spread  their  literature.  But 
why  is  he  ready  to  do  this?  Simply  because  the  ISI  uses  "terms 
like  'libertarianism'  and  'freedom'  in  such  a  way  as  to  excite  the 
imagination  of  college  youths."  All  this  reactionary  literature  "is 
intended  to  influence  the  thinking  of  impressionable  college  stu- 
dents toward  a  return  to  isolationism."  Reading  between  the  lines, 
I  discover  a  mistrust  of  "impressionable"  minds.  Conceding  more, 
perhaps  this  is  a  legitimate  fear.  But  we  find  the  liberals  in  Ameri- 
ca advocating  academic  freedom  for  Commtmist  teachers  so  that 
these  very  same  "impressionable"  students  may  become  acquaint- 
ed with  Communism  first-hand.  Mr.  Skaff  and  the  liberals  can't 
have  their  cake  and  eat  it  too. 

In  conclusion,  I  find  Mr.  Skaff  guilty  on  these  counts.  First, 
McCarthylike,  he  hurls  epithets  rather  than  facts.  Second,  he  is 
ready  to  deny  "reactionaries"  the  right  to  try  to  persuade  college 
students  of  the  validity  of  their  views.  And  third,  by  his  fear  of  the 
"reactionary"  new  radicalism,  he  admits  doubts  as  to  the  validity 
of  his  intellectual  position.  Mr.  Skaff  has  done  the  service,  how- 
ever, of  revealing  what  many  of  our  liberals  really  think  of  aca- 
demic freedom,  free  speech,  etc.  For  this  we  owe  him  a  great  debt 
of  gratitude. 

Respectfully  yours, 
Richard  C.  Schneider  '57 


By  George  Aid 

A  packed  house  of  students,  faculty,  and  \isitors  witnessed  thi- 
premiere  of  a  series  of  color  photograjihs  taken  by  the  "VVoodrow 
Wilson  I'rofessor  of  Govermnent,  Frederick  L.  Schuman,  durmg  his 
lecent  visit  to  the  U.S.S.R.  Explaining  that  he  had  visited  RiLSSia 
before    in  1928  and  1933,  Prof.  Sciuiman  told  his  audience  that 

raveling  in  Ru.ssia  today  costs  about  $25(K)  per  mouth,  and  that 
his  own  expedition  was  financed  bv  publisher  Allied  Knopf  with 

idvance  royalties  on  his,  Mr.  Schuinan's,  forthcoming  oiKis  on  the 
U.S.S.R.  This  book,  needless  to  sav,  is  highly  recommended  by 
Professor  Schuman,  and  on  the  basis  of  the  amazing  wealth  of 
'<nowledge  displayed  by  him  in  this  colloquium,  the  book  cannot 
fail  but  contribute  to  a  much-needed  American  understanding  of 
Russia. 

Professor  Schuman  went  on  to  explain  that  picture-taking  (he 
used  Kodachronie  in  a  35inin  camera)  is  restricted  in  that  no 
l>hotograiihs  of  airports,  airi^lanes,  military  installations,  railroads 
or  factories  were  allowed.  He  also  noticed  some  objection  on  the 
part  of  the  general  po|nilace  to  the  photographing  of  "unsa\ory" 
subjects  which  would  contribute  to  a  bad  impression  of  Russia. 

"Classless"  Society 
In  the  "classless"  society  of  Russia.  Schuman  went  on,  there 
are  five  classes  of  travel.  First  class  \'oyaging  is  actually  very 
reasonable,  as  the  $35  per  diem  rate  includes  first  class  train  ac- 
commodations, four  hearty  meals,  two  rooms  and  bath,  and  all 
local  and  intercity  transportation. 

The  first  series  of  slides,  of  extremely  high  technical  and  artis- 
tic quality,  surveyed  t!ie  citv  of  Leningrad,  still  very  much  a  "City 
of  the  Tsars".  Interesting  aspects  of  the  photographs  were  the 
number  of  beautiful  i)re-ie\()lutionary  buildings  and  )5alaces;  ice 
floating  down  the  river  in  the  middle  of  May;  happy,  well-dressed 
and  fed  children  at  jilay.  A  suriMisinglv  large  number  of  the  men 
pictured  wore  uniform.s.  The  ])ublic  transiiortation  system  appear- 
ed more  than  adequate,  with  a  iirofusion  of  buses  and  trolleys 
visible.  Notable  also  were  the  manv  wide  boulevards  with  only  a 
comiiarativelv  few  automobiles  to  be  seen. 

"Private  Enterprise" 
A  large  number  of  refreshment  \'endors  line  the  Leningrad 
:treets;  but  in  replv  to  a  (|uestion  as  to  whether  this  is  an  example 
:)f  private  enterprise.  Professor  Scliunian  noted  tliat  these  sales- 
women are  all  salaried  government  emiilovees.  The  streets  them- 
selves appear  very  well  kept  and  extremely  clean.  The  great  re- 
solution in  Russia,  remarked  Mr.  Schuman,  seems  to  have  been 
mostly  one  of  cleanliness. 

A  .striking  factor  in  Soviet  life  is  the  amount  of  female  labor. 
Mr,  Schuinan's  comments  ujjon  this  subject,  and  the  extremely 
well-nourished  appearance  of  Russian  women  ke|5t  the  audience  in 
I  constant  state  of  mirth.  Another  noticeable  feature  in  Ivan's 
city  life  is  the  high  incidence  of  hook  kiosks  along  the  streets. 
Russians,  explained  Schuman,  are  avid  readers  of  all  types  of 
books  and  periodicals. 

Moscow  Visited 
Euieriug  liie  ciiy  of  Miiscuw.  ihc  iiio.^t  sliikiiig  featiu'e  is  the 
huge  cluster  of  buildings  of  the  Moscow  State  University,  which 
educates  and  to  a  great  extent  houses  a  student  body  of  22,000 
men  and  women.  The  local  co-eds  appear  for  the  most  part  amply 
projiortioned  and  well-dressed.  Notable  also  are  the  monstrous 
suburban  apartment  developments,  em]5loying  a  major  force  of 
women  laborers,  and  again  one  notices  the  dearth  of  automotive 
traffic. 

An  attraction  of  Moscow  is  the  huge  Lenin  State  Librarv,  said 
by  the  Russians  to  contain  18  million  books,  periodicals,  and  MSS. 
—by  their  account  the  largest  single  library  in  the  world.  In  this 
collection,  housed  in  a  number  of  buildings.  Prof.  Schuman  could 
find  no  books  anti-Soviet  in  content.  Another  Muscovite  point  of 
interest  is  the  fabled  GUM  department  store,  a  huge  pre-revolu- 
tionary  building  divided  into  arcades.  E(|ually  imjiressive  is  the 
permanent  agricultural  exhibit,  where  Mr.  Schuman  was  guided 
l)y  a  buxom  lass  from  Kiev  named  Lily,  who  displayed  a  marked 
enjoyment  in  standing  in  front  of  the  camera,  in  the  general  pos- 
ture of  an  aggressive  fullback 

Stalingrad  Battleground 
The  third  series  pictures  Kiev,  "Mother  of  Russian  Cities",  on 
the  Dneiper.  Prominent  arc  the  old  monasteries,  many  sadly  dam- 
aged by  WW  II  German  bombs.  Traveling  on  to  the  city  of  Ros- 
tov, on  the  Don,  another  side  of  Russian  life  is  displayed;  Tiny, 
shabby  homes  of  factory  workers  who  are  at  present  awaiting  the 
completion  of  new  apartment  buildings.  An  interesting  sidelight  is 
the  omni-present  propaganda  monument,  portraying  Party  nota- 
bles. In  Rostov,  also,  even  more  sidewalk  book-stands  are  to  be 
found. 

Passing  on  to  Stalingrad,  Mr,  Schuman  again  showed  slides 
of  "slum"  areas,  where  poorer  Russians  have  lived  in  hastily-con- 
structed hovels  since  WW  II  ravaged  their  homes.  The  fametl  Bat- 
tle of  Leningrad  has  been  immortalized  by  a  series  of  monuments 
to  the  heroic  Russian  defenders  of  the  city,  who  for  months  held 
the  German  forces  at  bay.  Also  pictured  in  the  Leningrad  series 
were  a  group  of  "Young  Pioneers",  equivalents  of  American 
Scouts,  their  faces  reflecting  genuine  happiness  and  good  health. 

Lenin  Looks  "Waxy" 
The  final  scenes  shown  were  of  Moscow,  dejiicting  the  huge, 
ever-present  queue  before  the  Lenin-Stalin  tomb,  many  shots  of 
the  Kremlin  from  various  viewpoints,  and  the  famous  river.  Fan- 
tastic, gaudy.  Coney  Island-like  St.  Basel's  Cathedral  was  pic- 
tured from  across  Red  Square.  Shown  was  the  World's  Largest 
Cannon-never  fired;  and  the  World's  Largest  Bell— never  rung. 
Speaking  of  the  Lenin-Stalin  tomb.  Professor  Schuman  lamented 
the  fact  that  he  could  not  use  his  camera  inside,  but  noted  that 
"Lenin  does  not  look  quite  as  well  as  when  I  last  saw  him"— at 
which  time  he  was  only  four  years  dead. 

Tlie  colkKjiiium,  an  extremely  entertaining  as  well  as  infor- 
mative one,  ended  with  several  slides  of  Professor  Schuman's  re- 
turn trip  and  a  period  of  informal  questions.

HAPPY  TALK 

A.s  we  all  know,  conver.sation  is  terribly  important 
on  a  (hite.  When  lulls  in  the  conver.sation  run  longer  than 
an  hour  or  two,  one'.s  partner  is  inclined  to  grow  logy — 
even  sullen.  What,  then,  does  one  do? 

If  one  is  wise,  one  follows  the  brilliant  example  of 
Harlow  Thiulow. 

Harlow  Thurlow  prepares.  That  is  his  simple  secret. 
Before  the  date,  he  goes  to  the  library  and  reads  all  24 
volumes  of  the  encyclopedia  and  transcribes  their  con- 
tents on  his  cuffs.  Thus  he  makes  sure  that  no  matter 
what  his  date's  interests  are.  he  will  have  ample  material 
to  keep  the  conver.sation  alive. 

Take,  for  example,  Harlow's  first  date  with  Pri.scilla 
de  Gas.ser,  a  fine,  strapping,  blue-e.ved  broth  ;;f  a  girl, 
lavishly  constructed  and  rosy  as  the  dawn. 

Harlow  was,  as  always,  prepared  when  he  called  for 
Priscilla,  and,  as  always,  he  did  not  .start  to  converse  im- 
mediately. First  he  took  her  to  dinner  becau.se,  as  every- 
one knows,  it  is  useless  to  try  to  make  conversation  with 
an  unfed  coed. 

So  he  took  her  to  a  fine  steak  house  where  he  stoked 
her  with  gobbets  of  Black  Angus  and  mounds  of  French 
fries  and  thickets  of  escarole  and  battalions  of  petits 
fours.  Then,  at  last,  dinner  was  over  and  the  waiter 
brought  two  finger  bowls. 

"I  hope  you  enjoyed  your  dinner,  my  dear,"  said 
Harlow,  dipping  into  his  finger  bowl. 

"Oh,  it  was  grandy-dandy  !"  .said  Priscilla.  "Now  let's 
go  someplace  for  ribs." 

"Later,  perhaps,"  said  Harlow.  "But  right  now,  I 
thought  we  might  have  a  conver.sation." 

"Oh.  goody,  goody,  two-shoes!"  cried  Priscilla.  "I 
been  looking  everywhere  for  a  boy  who  can  carry  on  an 
intelligent  conversation." 

"Your  search  is  ended,  madam,"  .said  Harlow  and 
pulled  back  his  sleeves  and  looked  at  his  cufTs  to  pick  a 
likely  topic  to  start  the  conversation. 


I  ih}6kt  ^e  iriiM  h3\/e  ^  (bim^^^Oi? 


Oh,  woe !  Oh,  lackaday !  Those  cuffs  on  which  Harlow 
had  painstakingly  tran.scribed  such  diverse  and  fasci- 
nating information  -  tho.se  cuffs  were  nothing  now  but 
a  big,  blue  blur !  For  Harlow  -poor  Harlow !  -  spla.shing 
around  in  the  finger  bowl  had  gotten  his  cuffs  wet  and 
the  ink  had  run  and  not  one  word  was  legible!  And 
Harlow  broke  out  in  a  night-sweat  and  fell  dumb. 

"I  must  .say,"  said  Priscilla  after  several  silent  hours, 
"that  you  are  a  very  dull  fellow.  I'm  leaving." 

With  that  she  flounced  away  and  poor  Harlow  was 
too  crushed  to  protest.  Sadly  he  sat  and  sadly  lit  a 
cigarette. 

All  of  a  sudden  Priscilla  came  rushing  back.  "Was 
that,"  she  a.sked,  "a  Philip  Morris  you  just  lit?" 

"Yes,"  .said  Harlow. 

"Then  you  are  not  a  dull  fellow !"  she  cried  and  sprang 
into  his  lap.  "You  are  bright!  Anybody  is  bright  to  smoke 
such  a  perfect  doll  of  a  cigarette  as' today's  rich,  tasty 
Philip  Morris,  which  is  brimming-full  of  natural  tobacco 

goodness  and  fresh  unfiltered  flavor Harlow,  tiger, 

wash  your  cuffs  and  be  my  love!" 

"Okay,"  said  Harlow,  and  did,  and  was.

Bob  Chase  opened  the  scoring  at  the  lieginning  of  the  first

Undefeated      Season 

Saturday.  Nov.  10  -  CMch  iT'rank 
Nava  ro'.s  undefeated  freshman 
football  team  won  Its  fourth 
straight  game  and  gained  th=  :iv.st 
leg  of  the  coveted  Little  Three 
championship  by  trouncing  Wes- 
eyan  20-6  on  Cole  Field  this  morn- 
ing. A  larg3  Homecoming  Weekend 
crowd  braved  the  26  degree  cold 
to  watch  the  Cardinals  lose  their 
fourth  straight  contest. 

Pacing  the  Eph  ground  attack 
were  speedy  halfbacks  Bobby 
Rorke  and  Norm  Gordon.  Rorke 
set  up  two  touchdowns  and  ran 
85  yards  for  a  TD  In  the  second 
qiarter.  Gordon  was  a  consistent 
ground  gainer  and  scored  the  first 
Eph  touchdown  on  a  run  around 
left  end  in  the  second  period. 
Rorke  made  the  key  block  to  set 
up  the  score. 

Line   Play 

The  Purple  line  greatly  over- 
shadowed their  opponents.  Out- 
standing in  the  line  were  Co-Cap- 
tain Fay  Vincent,  Bob  Kaufmann, 
Jon  O'Brien  and  Al  Erb.  Erb  set 
up  Rorke's  85  yard  TD  by  making 
a  key  block  in  the  secondary. 
Sandy  Smith  was  particularly  good 
on  offense  and  caught  two  fine 
passes  from  second-string  quarter- 
back Al  Miller. 

Wesleyan  began  the  scoi  ing  early 
In  the  second  quarter.  Using  an 
aerial  attack  the  Cardinals  moved 
to  the  Eph  ten  at  the  end  of  the 
first  quarter.  Nilsen  recovered  his 
own  fumble  on  the  first  play  of 
the  second  period  and  then  Co- 
Captain,  quarterback  Sams,  threw 
a  scoring  pass  to  end  Corrodi.

Continued  from  I'agcf  1 
Eph  line  and  a  bad  pass  from  cen- 
ter which  spoiled  Jim  Eglln's 
fourth  down  field  goal  attempt 
combined  to  stop  the  threat.  This 
was  the  closest  Wesleyan  came  to 
scoring,  although  after  taking  the 
kick-off  to  start  the  second  half, 
they  drove  to  the  17  before  losing 
the  ball  on  a  fumble;  and  they 
reached  the  20  in  the  fourth  quar- 
ter before  the  Ephmen  held  them. 
Only  a  great  play  by  Bill  Hede- 
man  prevented  a  score  on  the  lat- 
ter occasion,  as  Bob  Bums  picked- 
off  a  Williams  pass  on  his  own  fif- 
teen and  headed  for  the  Williams 
goal  line  behind  a  convey  of  Block- 
ers. Hedeman  pursued  the  fleet 
fullback  for  nearly  50  yards  and 
hauled  him  down  from  behind  on 
the  Williams  30,  when  he  had  an 
open  field  ahead  to  the  goal  line. 
Sehoeller  Blocks  Punt 

It  was  Karl  Sehoeller  who  gave 
Williams  their  first  scoring  oppor- 
tunity, as  he  broke  through  to 
block  a  second  quarter  punt  by 
Hoyer  at  mid-field.  Hedeman 
scooped  up  the  bouncing  ball  and 
dashed  to  the  Wesleyan  18  before 
being  tackled.  Williams  moved  to 
a  fiist  down  on  the  7,  but  the  Car- 
dinal line  held  for  three  downs  and 
then  broke  through  to  block  Norm 
Cram's  field  goal  attempt  from  the 
three.  Williams  drove  77  yards  In 
10  plays  to  again  reach  the  3  early 
in  the  fourth  quarter,  but  Kauf- 
mann fumbled  going  over  left  tac- 
kle and  Wesleyan  recovered  on  the 
one  inch  line. 

This  play  appai'ently  had  ended 
Williams  scoring  chances  for  the 
a(fternoon,  but  when  Weinstein 
came  into  the  game  to  replace 
starting  quarterback  Gary  Hig- 
gins  late  in  the  fourth  quarter,  he 
started  the  drive  which  almost 
can  led  the  Ephs  to  victory. 

Williams  used  only  eighteen 
players  in  this  game,  with  several 
of  these  seeing  action  for  only  a 
few  plays,  a  far  cry  from  the  early 
season  games  when  Coach  Wai- 
ters alternated  two  complete  teams 
at  five-minute  intervals.  Dormer, 
Kaufmann,  Higgins,  and  Hatcher 
played  almost  the  entire  game  in 
the  backfield,  while  both  tackles, 
both  guards  and  the  center  went 
all  the  way  without  being  replaced.

OR ...  A.  SHORT  HISTORY 


Once  upon  a  time  in  a  far  off  country  called  "Ye  Olde 
Newe  Yorke,"  a  traveling  Kiught  riding  on  a  St. 
Bernard,  knocked  on  a  fanner's  door  and  asked  if  ha 
could  stay  the  night. 


"You're  faded,  Mac,"  said  the  farmer  in  his  quaint 
New  England  parlance,  "I  wouldn't  put  a  Knight  out 
on  a  Dog  like  tius.  I'll  even  have  my  daughter  rustle 
us  up  a  pair  of  small  beers." 

Now  if  any  reader  has  the  idea  that  this  is  going  to  be 
one  of  those  funnies  about  the  farmer's  daughter,  he's 
right.  Please  read  on — and  pay  attention.  We  may  ask 
questions  later. 

"Here  are  the  small  beers,  Papa,"  said  Tondelayo, 
steaUng  a  shy  glance  at  the  Knight.  She  wasn't  much 
on  looks,  but  on  the  other  hand  she  had  a  figure  like 
a  million  bucks,  all  wrinkled  and  green. 

"A  delicious  brew,"  said  our  hero,  quaffing  it  in  one 
long  gurgle,  "could  I  encore  it ...  a  short  small  beer 
perhaps?" 

The  farmer  laughed  uproariously  at  the  little  mot  of 
his  guest. 

"A  short,  small  beer,"  he  cried,  "by  George,  someday 
you'U  be  femnous  for  that  remark!" 

"You  bore  me.  Dad,"  said  the  traveler.  "The  cat  I 
want  to  meet  is  the  local  talent  that  brewed  this  beer." 

"Why,  I  did,"  said  Tondelayo,  "would  you  like  to  see 
my  brewery?" 

So  she  took  him  out  to  the  brew  house,  opened  her 
hops  chest  and  out  hopped  her  fairy  godmother,  who 
waggled  her  wonder  stick,  turned  Tondelayo  into  the 
1708  version  of  Marilyn,  and  then  disappeared  in  a 
cloud  of  dust  with  a  hearty  "Hi  Ho  Uranium."  There- 
upon the  traveling  knight  revealed  himself  as  really 
being  the  president  of  the  Brewmeisters  local  805  doing 
a  little  incognito  market  research.  He  was  no  cube,  so 
he  put  Tondelayo  under  ball  and  chain  contract,  set 
her  up  in  business,  and  together  they  founded  one  of 
the  biggest  families  and  breweries  in  New  England,  as 
well  as  that  noble  institution  "the  short  beer." 


moral:  The  quantity  of  the  beer  depends  on  the  size  of  the 
glass.  The  quality  depends  on  the  brand  .  . .  and  that's  a  story 
that  always  ends  happily  with  Budweiser  in  hand.

Wc'diu'sclay,  No\'ciul)i'r  It  —  On  leariiiiij;  of  the  |)ri)i)<).scd  move 

by  a  nioiii)  of  Spring  Street  iiii'icliaiits  to  outlaw  all  stiuli'iit  sales 

on  tainpus,  the  RECOHD  iuterviewetl  each  of  the  nierenanls  in- 

voKod.  Here  are  tlie  results  of  the  poll.  (See  also  story  <jn  |)a;.;e 

PHIL  WALSH,  THE  HOUSE  OF  WALSH,  "First  of  all,  1 
didn't  go  to  the  meeting.  1  think  student  competition  is  nnlair  h,- 
cause  the  undergraduates  pay  no  taxes.  Students  use  tlie  eolle^e 
buildings,  which  are  ta.x-free,  for  their  sales.  The  local  stores  aje  .i 
necessity  for  the  boys  to  obtain  the  items  that  aren't  solil  on  camp- 
us —  and  they  only  sell  the  easy  items.  If  they  take  the  husiness 
away  from  us,  we  won't  l)e  here  to  wait  on  the  boys  —  wiap  |)aci\- 
ages,  cash  checks  and  so  forth. 

"1  think  the  student  sales  cut  substantially  into  my  profits, 
especially  in  such  items  as  parkas  and  sport  jackets.  The  boys 
don't  pay  rent,  light,  ta.xes,  wages  to  clerks,  utilities,  and  it's  aw- 
fully easy  to  sell  by  going  through  the  dormitories  at  night." 

He  refused  to  gi\e  any  indication  whether  he  will  submit  a 
letter  of  complaint  to  the  Board  of  Trade. 

JACK  HENDERSON,  WILLIAMSTOWN  COOP,  "No  com- 
nn'ut.  I'm  too  busy  to  say  anything  at  this  time. "  Witli  a  gesture  in- 
dicating the  cutting  of  his  throat,  he  said,  "What  do  you  want  me 
to  do,  this?" 

ARTHUR  BASTIEN,  BASTIEN'S  JEWELERS,  "1  was  not  at 
the  meeting  last  Wednesday,  but  I'm  on  the  Boaril  of  Directors 
(of  the  Board  of  Trade)  so  I  know  what  the  story  is.  I  have  no 
(iroof  of  student  sales  this  year  so  1  can't  write  a  letter  of  protest. 
If  I  had  evidence  of  any  student  sales  in  jewelry,  diamonds,  watch- 
es, this  year,  1  would  definitely  write  a  letter  of  complaint.  It's 
a  hard  situation.  Probably  the  students  need  the  money  to  help 
finance  themselves  through  College.  But  it's  like  a  discount  house 
—  they  are  in  direct  comiietition  with  the  legitiniati'  retailers.  They 
can  cut  the  prices  because  they  don't  have  any  of  the  o\erhead  or 
the  worries  of  a  legitimate  business.  I  know  of  nothing  that  has 
cut  into  ni)'  |)i'ofits  so  far  this  year,  but  1  definitely  know  it  has 
f^one  on  in  the  past.  I  don't  imagine  Hank  I'lyiit  (Williams  College 
director  of  student  aid)  would  do  much  about  it,  mainly  because 
i.ne  stndcncs  neeil  die  money. ' 

iu..,nK  ^.UAVrcJHL,  SALVATORE  SHOES,  "1  do  not 
lui\  e  tune  to  make  a  connnent  at  this  time." 

LOU  RUDNICK,  RUDNiCK'S  CLEANERS,  "Here  is  the 
basic  point  —  we,  tne  merchants,  support  the  town  through  taxes. 
Naturally  we  depend  on  a  certain  volume  of  business.  1  don't  think 
it  is  fair  to  the  merchants  to  take  away  their  trade.  You  want  our 
support  (referring  to  RECORD  re(|uests  for  Rudnick  advertising), 
we  ought  to  ha\  e  your  support. 

"Sure  they  (the  students)  cut  into  our  business.  They  (refer- 
ring to  the  Student  Laundry)  send  laundry  out  to  Adams,  and  how 
do  you  think  ihis  helps  Williamstown'P  We  ha\e  to  hire  enough 
help  to  cope  with  peak  loads  which  occur  only  at  certitin  "times  in 
the  year.  If  we  lay  off  men  when  the  students  aren't  here,  then  we 
lose  them  altogether.  When  the  students  take  business  away  from 
us,  it  puts  us  in  an  impossible  position 


"We've  been  complaininj:  for 


;ibnut  this 


,)ro! 


)ble 


it  didn't  do  any  good.  Now  it  is  hitting  more  merchants,  maybi 
something  will  be  done.  But  I  will  not  submit  a  letter  of  complaint 
now." 

RAY  WASHBURN,  COLLEGE  BOOK  STORE,  "I  didn't  go 
to  the  Board  of  Trade  meeting,  I  happened  to  be  out.of  town.  I 
refuse  to  comment  on  this  issue." 

PHILLIP  S.  HART,  HART  DRUGS,  "It's  unfair  because  it's 
something  we  can't  compete  against.  But  student  sales  don't  cut  in 
to  my  business  much,  and  I  will  not  submit  a  letter  of  complaint." 

GEORGE  ELDER,  MeCLELLAND  PRESS,  "I  am  definitely 
not  in  favor  of  students  selling  on  campus,  but  I  will  not  submit  a 
complaint.  Any  selling  of  stationery  and  the  likes  definitely  doesn't 
do  us  any  good." 

MRS.  RALPH  HARRIS,  MARGIE'S  GIFT  SHOP,  "I  don't 
blame  a  fellow  for  wanting  to  make  money  to  help  supjjort  him 
self  through  college  if  it  doesn't  go  to  any  great  extent.  I  really 
don't  think  it  is  fair-  if  they  are  selling  in  tax-free  buildings  with  no 
overhead,  when  we  are  trying  to  maintain  a  business  to  make 
money."

College    Chest    Fund 

Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  Fraternity 
pledse  cla.sses  have  been  ^iven  an 
opportunity  to  make  their  "Hell 
Week"  labors  beneficial  to  the  Wil- 
liams College  Chest  Fund.  In  order 
to  assist  the  Fund,  whicli  failed 
to  reach  its  goal  by  $900,  the  col- 
lege has  agreed  to  pay  each  pledge 
$1  an  hour  for  working  around 
campus.  The  money  will  then  be 
contributed  to  the  Fund. 

Work  has  already  begun  in  tak- 
ing down  the  bleachers  on  Weston 
Field,  and  Ralph  Renzi  has  prom- 
ised unlimited  work  in  the  future. 
The  majority  of  the  hou.ses.  re- 
ports Dick  Clokey.  chairman  of  the 
Chest  Fund  Committee  in  the 
WCC.  have  agreed  to  this  plan  for 
their  pledges;  and  he  .says  that 
four  hours  a  week  per  pledge 
should  be  sufficient  to  reach  the 
$2000  goal. 

In  addition  to  the  local  chari- 
ties which  benefit  from  the  Chest 
Fund.  Clokey  reports  that  any 
money  over  the  $2000  will  go 
through  the  World  University 
Service  directly  to  Hungarian  stu- 
dents. Although  the  major  effort 
will  be  made  by  the  pledge  clas.scs. 
the  WCC  encourages  anyone  else 
that  W'Ould  like  to  help  and  assures 
that  the  $1  an  hour  arrangement 
will  hold.

Respected    Theologian 

Since  his  arrival  in  the  United 
States  in  1933,  Professor  Tilllch, 
hrough  a  brilliant  career,  has 
■  ome  to  be  known  as  the  great 
'  ontemporary  philosopher-theolo- 
gian of  his  denomination.  In  an 
'ssay  on  the  American  Intellectual 
ippearing  in  the  June  10,  last,  is- 
sue of  "Time  Magazine",  it  was 
noted  that  he  was  the  one  Ameri- 
i^an  regarded  with  complete  awe 
by  the  entirety  of  other  intellec- 
tuals. Last  year  Professor  Tlllich 
liegan  service  to  Harvard's  Divini- 
ty School  after  more  than  20  years 
at  the  Union  Theological  Seminary 
ill  New  York. 

In  1950  Dr.  Tlllich  was  Invited 
to  present  the  Terry  Lectures  at 
Yale,  considered  one  of  the  rare 
honors  to  be  bestowed  on  a  speaker 
In  the  United  States.  His  talks, 
entitled  "The  Courage  to  Be"  were 
later  published  in  book  form.  This 
work  deals  with  the  union  of  the- 
ology and  depth  psychology. 

Three  years  ago,  Protesfsor  Till- 
'ch  gave  the  Qifford  Lectures  In 
Scotland,  one  of  the  outstanding 
lecture  series  In  the  English  speak- 
ing world.  He  is  only  the  fifth 
American  to  receive  this  honor, 
two  others  being  William  James 
and  John  Dewey. 

Teutonic  Background 

Bom  and  raised  in  Germany,  Dr. 


Tilllch  received  his  education 
there.  After  serving  in  the  Ger- 
man army  in  World  War  I,  he 
joined  the  faculties  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Marburg,  Berlin,  and 
Frankfurt,  respectively. 

During  the  post-war  years  he 
was  a  leader  of  the  religious  so- 
cialist movement  until  1933  when 
he  was  forced  from  his  position 
at  the  University  of  Frankfurt  for 
opposing  Hitler.  Upon  the  sugges- 
tion of  the  U.S.  theologian,  Rheln- 
hold  Niebuhr,  Dr.  Tilllch  left  Ger- 
many to  come  to  Union  Seminary 
in  this  country. 

Noted  Author 

Professor  Tilllch  has  left  im- 
printed in  several  scholarly  writ- 
ings, his  theological  discoveries 
and  beliefs.  Aside  from  the  Terry 
Lectures,  Tilllch  books  Include 
"The  Interpretation  of  History", 
"The  Pi-otestant  Era"  and  "Bibli- 
cal Religion  and  the  Search  for 
Ultimate  Reality".  Undoubtedly 
his  most  formidable  thesis  Is  "Sys- 
tematic Theology"  of  which  only 
one  volume  has  appeared.  In  es- 
sence this  involves  an  attempt  to 
correlate  the  Biblical  revelation 
of  God  and  the  Philosophical  rea- 
soning of  man.

Fraternity  Debate 
Extends  Thru  Fall 


Jeffs  Boast  Revamped  Offense; 
Gorman,  McLean  Lead  Attack 
Against  Williams  On  Pratt  Field 

1)1/  Cliiick  Trout 
Co-Sports  Editor  Amherst  STUDENT 

Fridav,  Nin.  9  -  At  this  writing  on  the  eve  of  the  Trinity 
name,  Amherst's  loothall  fortunes  are  at  a  hii^h  which  even  the 
most  optimistic  hillowcr  of  the  Lord  jcffs  could  have  foreseen  some 
sexeii  weeks  aoo.  i:)espite  the  fact  that  fortune's  winds  have  lilowu 
in  (a\()r  of  the  Jeffs.  ,t;i\  iiiif  them  fi\e  victories  in  si.\  starts,  people 
around  campus  still  shake  their  heads  in  disbelief  and  each  suc- 
ceediuir  week,  this  >^rou|)  predicts  doom  for  Coach  [ohn  McLauf^h- 
r\''s  charges. 

There  is  absolutelv  no  indication  that  this  |5essimistic  atmos- 
phere will  be  altered  on  November  17  when  Williams  invades 
Pratt  Eii'ld  with  the  Little  Tliree  title  at  stake.  Those  who  have 
seen  the  I'",])hs  in  action  this  fall  bring  back  reports  of  overwhel- 
ming depth  and  the  i-arl^'  routs  of  Trinity,  Colby  and  Middle 
bury  ser\i'  to  confiini  these  observations.  All  fear  Williams. 

.■\mheist  opened  against  .Siiringfield  and  surprised  no  one 
Owhen  a  28-7  pasting  was  adminis- 
tered by  the  Maroon.  Tlien  the 
Jeffs  started  to  roll.  Union  fell 
40-27,  followed  by  Bowdoin,  39-12. 
Coast  Guard,  27-14,  Wesleyan,  32- 
0.  and  finally  Tufts,  6-0.  With 
each  game  the  offense  improved 
and  the  defense  tightened  and 
even  with  this  tangible  evidence 
of  strength,  pessimism  has  endur- 
ed on  the  Amherst  campus. 

If  statistics  are  any  indication 
of  improvement,  then  a  contrast 
between  the  1956  Amherst  team 
and  that  of  last  year  is  revealing. 
Amherst  has  gained  2212  yards  in 
its  first  six  games  or  692  yards 
more  than  its  seven  game  1955 
schedule   produced. 

Several  men  figure  in  this  re- 
vamped attack.  The  number  one 
factor  is  Tom  Gorman,  the  jun- 
ior quarterback.  Gorman  has  com- 
pleted 35  of  74  aerials  despite 
a  dismal  performance  against 
Springfield.  His  35  completions 
liave  been  good  for  nine  Amherst 
touchdowns  including  the  big  one 
against  Tufts.  His  ability  to  con- 
nect with  ends  Dave  Stephens. 
Jim  Sabin,  and  Pete  Jenkins  has 
kept  the  opposing  defenses  from 
packing  the  line. 

Tlie  workhorse  in  the  Amherst 
backfield  is  junior  halfback  Marsh 
McLean  who  is  playing  his  first 
year  of  varsity  football  at  Am- 
herst. McLean  has  lugged  the  ball 
69  times  for  329  yards.  Hutch  Tib- 
betts.  another  junior  and  the  brok- 
en field  threat  of  the  Jeffs'  run- 
ning attack,  has  averaged  six 
yards  a  carry  in  42  attempts. 

This  pair  and  senior  Jim  Con- 
nors, junior  Jim  Krumsiek,  and 
sophs  Jack  Close  and  John  Deli- 
georges  see  about  equal  duty  in 
the  backfield  and  the  starting 
lineup  changes  from  game  to 
game.  Only  Gorman  Is  a  certain 
backfield  starter. 

Up  front,  Amherst  has  Stephens 
and  Sabin  at  ends,  Don  Moores 
and  Pres  Brown  at  tackles.  Jack 
Shepard  and  Bill  Donohue  at 
guards,  and  Captain  Bob  King  at 
center.  Brown  Is  the  biggest  man 
on  the  team  at  225  pounds.  It  is 
King,  however,  the  best  center  to 
play  at  Amherst  in  many  years, 
who  holds  the  key  to  the  defense. 

Amherst  has  fumbled  22  times 
in  its  first  .six  contests  and  has 
lost  the  ball  on  14  occasions.  Add

For  Stone   Trophy 

Sunday.  Nov.  18  -  The  Adelphic 
Union-sponsored  inter-fraternity 
debate  competition  for  the  Jack 
Stone  trophy  is  in  full  swing,  with 
forensic  competition  on  tap  overy 
week  this  fall.  The  champion  will 
be  selected  by  means  of  a  double- 
elimination  tournament  running 
throughout  the  year. 

The  Adelphic  Union,  organizing 
the  debates  on  an  all-college  basis 
for  the  first  time  in  history,  is 
seeking  through  them  to  stimulate 
interest  in  the  sport  of  debating 
and  focus  intellectual  interest  a- 
mong  the  members  of  the  campus 
social  groups. 

Variety  of  Topics 

The  debates  feature  a  wide  vari- 
ety of  topics  taken  from  the  con- 
temporary intellectual  issues  of 
the  day.  On  Tuesday  evening,  ihe 
Saints  and  the  Theta  Delts  dis- 
cussed the  issue  of  socialized  me- 
dicine, with  TDX  gaining  the  de- 
cision behind  Bill  Harter  '58,  and 
Bob  Young  '58.  A  freshman  team 
debated  the  KAs  on  Wednesday 
night,  the  question  being  "Resolv- 
ed: This  House  Approves  Artificial 
Insemination". 

This  Tuesday,  the  DU's  and  the 
Sig  Phi's  will  explore  "Resolved: 
TliLs  House  approves  of  legalized 
gambling".  Already  this  season, 
the  AD'S  have  defeated  the  Psi 
U's  and  the  Non-Affiliates  have 
decisioncd  the  Bete's,  both  on  po- 
litical topics  concerning  the  re- 
cent national  election. 

The  inter-f  rat  debating  program 
is  under  the  direction  of  Tom 
Synott  '58.  and  Dave  Moore  '59, 
with  Dave  Phillips,  Adelphic  Union 
President,  acting  in  an  advisory 
capacity.  The  huge  silver  cup 
which  the  winner  will  receive  was 
donated  by  alumnus  Mr.  Jack 
Stone  in  honor  of  his  father.  The 
attractive  trophy  is  currently  on 
display  in  the  House  of  Walsh 
show  window.

Miller  Announces 
Lack  Of  Protest 


Foeh!,   Flynt   Review 
Position  Of  College 

Saturday.  Nov.  17  -  At  latest 
word  the  Williamstown  Board  of  i 
Trade  has  taken  no  further  steps 
to  end  competitive  selling  by  Wil- 
liams students,  and  Board  Presi- 
dent Joe  Miller  reiterated  today 
that  he  will  do  nothing  until  he 
receives  a  complaint  in  writing. 

"So  far  I  have  received  no  of- 
ficial protests,  and  we  cannot  go 
on  verbal  complaints. "  he  said. 
The  texts  of  these  unofficial  pro- 
tests by  certain  Spring  Street  busi- 
nessmen we:e  reported  in  the  last 
issue  of  the  RECORD. 

Submit  Complaints 

Williamstown  merchants  were 
asked  to  submit  their  claims  in 
written  form  at  a  meeting  of  the 
town  Board  of  Trade  10  days  ago. 
At  last  report,  at  least  two  are  still 
considering  the  step. 

F:ank  Salvatore,  of  Salvatore 
Bros.  Shoes,  told  a  reporter,  "If 
it's  the  only  way  we  can  stop  stu- 
dent selling,  then  I  suppose  we 
will  write  a  letter."  Arthur  Bas- 
tien  of  Bastien's  Jewelers  has  In- 
dicated he  would  write  a  letter  if 
he  could  provide  definite  proof. 
The  two  clothing  stores,  which  ap- 
pear to  be  hardest  hit  by  student 
agencies,  will  probably  not  present 
complaints  at  this  time. 

Charles  A.  Foehl  Jr..  College 
treasurer,  explained  that  Williams' 
policy  "has  been  not  to  permit  ihe 
buildings  to  be  utilized  for  any 
business  enterprise  by  students, 
where  they  have  stock  for  sale  on 
the  premises". 

"I  don't  know  what  the  results 
of  a  legal  action  would  be.  but 
that  is  the  policy  which  has  been 
adopted  in  the  past,  and  the  pre- 
sumption is  that  it  has  a  legal 
basis.  If  it  doesn't,  we  would  take 
action  accordingly."  said  Foehl.  a 
one-time  practicing  lawyer. 

"If  any  action  is  taken,  it  would 
have  to  come  from  either  state  or 
local  taxing  authorities."  he  .stated. 
If  town  merchants  carry  out  their 
threats  of  legal  action,  the  College 
would  secure  outside  legal  council, 
Foehl  Indicated. 

According  to  files  maintained  by 
Henry  N.  Flynt.  55  students  work- 
ed for  businesses  competing  with 
Spring  Street  in  1955-56.  earning 
a  gro.ss  profit  of  $17,528.96  and  a 
net  of  $4398.44.  These  figures  ex- 
clude agencies  which  don't  cut  in- 
to Spring  Street  business,  such  as

Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  This  af- 
ternoon eight  seniors  will  ap- 
pear in  their  last  football  game 
for  Williams.  Among  these  is 
Dick  Fearon  who  was  injured 
in  the  Middlebury  game  and 
has  been  sidelined  ever  since; 
he  acted  as  co-game  captain 
last  week.  Formerly  a  stalwart 
of  the  backfield,  Fearon  is  a 
two-year  letterman  in  both 
football  and  baseball. 

Nibby  Wingate  and  Frank  Ui- 
ble  have  also  been  plagued  with 
injuries.  Uible  started  the  Trin- 
ity game  at  tackle  and  was  hurt 
on  the  first  play  from  scrim- 
mage. Wingate's  career  has  al- 
so been  hampered  by  injuries. 
He  was  a  member  of  th(!  Fi'osh 
basketball  team. 

Appleford  Captains  Frosh 

One  of  the  two  starting  quar- 
terbacks. Bob  Appleford.  will 
suit  up  for  the  last  time.  He 
captained  the  Fi'eshman  team 
and  later  won  two  varsity  foot- 
ball letters.  John  Pritchard, 
guard,  has  also  won  two  football 
letters  and  he  throws  the  jave- 
lin for  the  track  team.  Tackle 
Bob  Lane  has  also  improved 
greatly  during  the  year.  End 
Joe  Perrott  has  been  a  frequent 
starter  for  the  Ephs.  Fritz 
Winegarner.  a  heavy  guard, 
earned  his  letter  last  season 
and  has  seen  much  action  this 
year,  although  suffering  a  leg 
injury  in  the  Tufts  game. 


Williams  faces  the  rugged  task 
of  stopping  quarterback  Tom  Gor- 
man's strong  passing  attack  and 
a  good  Jeff  running  game.  Tlie 
Eph  line  which  appeared  so  strong 
early  in  the  season,  has  been  a 
disappointment  in  the  last  three 
games,  and  with  end  Richie  Kagan 
a  doubtful  starter  due  to  an  in- 
jury suffered  against  Wesleyan, 
the  Purple  forward  wall  may  be  In 
for  a  rough  afternoon.  The  ap- 
parent depth  of  the  line  has  dis- 
appeared as  the  season  progressed, 
and  the  starting  team  may  be 
called  upon  to  go  the  whole  game 
against  the  Jeffs,  as  five  starters 
did  against  Wesleyan.

Letter  to  the  Editor 


To  the  EcUtor  of  the  RECORD: 

As  most  of  the  students  know,  the  amuial  Winter  Carnival  will 
be  held  on  the  weekend  of  February  23  this  year  instead  of  the 
seeond  weekend  in  that  month.  This  shift  was  necessitated  by 
Dartmouth's  choosinjr  our  usual  weekend  for  their  carnival.  Our 
own  s'.i  team  must  attend  the  Dartmouth  Carnival  in  order  to 
mainlain  their  class  ratin<;.  By  chanj;ing  the  date,  the  skiers  may 
have  the  one  home  event  they  deserve  with  the  best  ski  teams  in 
the  East  jiresent. 

The  fact  that  three  athletic  teams  will  be  away  that  weekend 
is  unfortimate  but  cannot  be  blamed  on  anyone  as  the  schedules 
were  made  up  loui;  in  advance  of  the  Dartmouth  decision  last 
March. 

As  I  look  back  on  ten  houseparties  at  Williams,  I  find  them 
sadly  lacking  activities  in  which  everyone  may  (jarticipate.  True, 
there  has  been  driukins;,  dancinjr,  and  women,  but  these  parti- 
cipation sports  hardly  distinguish  houseparties  from  other  college 
weekends.  This  year  we  have  a  fine  opportunity  to  do  something  a 
little  different  in  addition  to  the  usual  dance  and  jazz  concert. 
There's  the  All-College  Revue,  something  which  has  been  missing 
from  Williams  for  too  many  years.  1  would  like  to  see  the  innova- 
tion of  coed-interfraternity  competitions  in  the  snow  sculpture, 
date  skating  and  an  active  interest  in  anything  else  that  would 
make  this  weekend  truly  a  Carnival  and  not  just  another  house- 
party.

Middle  East  Student  Realizes  Goal 
Of  Attending  Small  [/.  S.  College 

By  Daue  Shiff 

Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  Williams'  closest  contact  with  the  Middle 
East,  the  present  focal  point  of  world  attention,  is  Abdul  Wohabe. 
Abdul  is  a  member  of  the  class  of  1959  from  Saudi  Arabia,  who 
has  been  at  Williams  for  the  last  year  and  a  half. 

A  native  of  Heraimla,  Saudi  Arabia,  Abdul  now  makes  his 
home  in  Zubair,  Iraq.  He  attended  the  British  Institute  of  Educa- 
tion in  Basra,  Saudi  Arabia.  After  completing  his  education  at 
the  British  Institute,  Abdul  became  a  student  at  the  American  In- 
ternational College  in  Dahran,  Saudi  Arabia. 
Wanted  Small  Collep^e  Life 

At  the  American  College,  established  for  an  American  com- 
munity of  the  Arabian-American  Oil  Company,  the  young  student 
had  his  first  close  contact  with  American  people.  From  this  stem- 
med a  desire  to  attend  an  American  school.  The  dean  of  the 
American  College  at  Dahran,  a  native  of  Springfield,  Massachu- 
setts, recommended  Williams  and  contacted  the  college  for  Abdul. 

With  his  acceptance  Abdul  realized  his  ambition.  "I  was  de- 
termined to  get  into  Williams.  My  acceptance  made  me  very 
pleased  since  it  was  just  this  kind  of  small  college  that  I  had  a 
great  desire  to  attend  ...  I  am  confident  that  I  will  never  regret 
the  fact  that  I  am  now  a  student  at  this  instituion."  These  words 
of  the  Arab  student  sum  up  his  feelings  about  Williams. 
Active  part  of  Student  Body 

Sivrce  coming  to  Williams,  Abdul  has  been  active  in  campus 
activities  and  shown  interest  in  the  American  way  of  life.  He  is  a 
member  of  WMS,  the  Williams  Outing  Club,  and  the  Zeta  Psi 
Fraternity.  Taking  an  ardent  interest  in  international  relations, 
Abdul  has  participated  in  the  International  Relations  Club  acti- 
vities and  is  the  sole  member  and  representative  on  the  Williams 
campus  to  the  Arab  Student  Organization  in  the  United  States. 

Abdul's  primary  interest  at  Williams  is  exposing  the  campus  of 
Williams  to  foreign  students  at  neighboring  colleges.  He  has  been 
instrumental  in  bringing  the  idea  of  an  International  Weekend  at 
Williams  to  the  eyes  of  the  administration.  With  the  co-operation 
of  Dean  Lamson,  Foreign  Student  Adviser  Pelham,  and  the  In- 
ternational Relations  Clubs,  Abdul  hopes  to  see  this  idea  realized 
this  year  at  Williams. 

Possible  RECORD  Scries 

After  taking  courses  at  Columbia  University  last  summer,  Ab- 
dul likes  to  stress  that  his  experiences  at  a  large  university  has 
convinced  him  that  the  intimate  contacts  of  the  small  college  has 
been  his  most  valuable  and  rewarding  experience  at  Williams.  He 
would  like  to  sec  more  foreign  students  from  a  wide  geographical 
area  have  the  same  experience. 

With  world  attention  directed  toward  the  Middle  East,  Abdul 
has  been  the  object  <)(  many  inquiries  from  students  interested  in 
his  impressions  about  the  situation.  His  views  are  interesting  and 
offer  a  first  hand  knowledge  of  the  people.  The  RECORD  has 
asked  Abdul  to  do  a  series  of  articles  on  the  situation.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  these  articles  will  appear  in  future  editions  of  the 
RECORD. 


L.  G.  Treadway  Begins  Famous  Chain 
Of  Inns  On  Williams  Campus,  1912 


Bii  Bill  Ed^ur 

The  Williams  Inn-the  first  Treadway  Inn,  which  "pioneered 
the  concept  of  homelike  comfort,  a  friendly  atmosphere,  and 
colonial  charm,  with  the  best  in  food  and  a  well-stocked  wme  cel- 
lar"-is  largely  the  creation  of  Mr.  L.  G.  Treadway,  who  began  to 
manage  it  in  1912. 

Mr.  Treadwav,  who  formed  the  famous  chain  of  resorts  and 
iims  stretching  from  Vermont  to  Florida,  sat  in  his  Williams  lini 
office  last  Friday,  dressed  in  a  dark  green  jacket,  slowly  smoking 
his  pipe.  On  the  wall  behind  his  desk  were  certificate's  awarded 
him  by  hotel  keepers  associations;  old  photographs,  and  an  "I 
like  Ike"  sign. 

An  elderly,  soft-spoken  man,  Mr.  Treadway  is  fond  of  remi- 
nieense  and  displays  a  (luiet  satisfaction  in  his  life  of  hard  work 
and  accomplishment.  Now  "retired"  (he  still  works  almost  eight 
hours  a  day),  he  has  passed  the  management  of  the  thirteen 
Treadway  Inns  down  to  his  sons.  John  Treadway  now  manages 
the  Williams  Inn,  and  Richard  runs  the  main  office  in  Boston. 

"I'm  in  my  45th  year  of  hard  work,"  said  tlie  elder  Mr.  Tread- 
way, looking  out  at  tlie  gray  Williamstown  afternoon.  "Yes,"  he 
said,  "I've  looked  out  that  window  and  sat  at  this  desk  for  44 
years  now,"  and  he  smiled. 

First  Ventures 

Mr.  Treadway  paid  his  way  tlirough  Dartmouth  by  working 
at  the  Commons  (where  he  learned  cooking)  and  at  the  Hanover 
Inn.  During  summer  vacations,  he  worked  for  nearby  resorts,  and 
after  graduation  he  managed  a  hotel  in  New  York  City  and  a  re- 
sort in  Ogunquit,  Maine.  In  1908  he  went  to  Florida,  where  he 
ran  a  hotel  in  Orange  Park.  These,  he  said,  were  "preparatory 
steps." 

When  he  was  invited  by  Williams  College  in  tlie  fall  of  1912 
to  run  the  commons  for  non-affiliates  and  the  Inn,  Mr.  Treadway 
was  running  the  Idlewild  Inn  in  South  Williamstown.  This  was  a 
summer  resort— formerly  Greylock  Institute,  a  ])re|)aratory  school 
for  Williams  students. 

Mr.  Treadway  liked  Williamstown  and  "wanted  to  stay",  but 
the  Inn,  called  in  those  days  the  Williams  Alumni  House,  was 
deep  in  financial  trouble.  During  the  two  years  and  nine  months 
before  Mr.  Treadway  came,  the  Alumni  House— a  corporation 
owned  by  Williams  alumni  and  managed  by  Mrs.  Henry  I.ooniis 
Nelson,  the  widow  of  a  professor— had  lost  $57,000.  "That,"  said 
Mr.  Treadway,  "is  what  I  fell  heir  to. " 

The  Alumni  House  was  formerly  the  home  of  a  Williams 
mathematics  professor.  Built  with  a  Swiss-chalet  motif  in  the  late 
ISSO's,  it  comprised  what  is  now  the  center  part  of  the  Inn.  None 
of  the  trees  and  houses  which  now  surround  the  Inn  existed  then, 
and  the  Victorian  home,  with  its  elaborate,  steeji  gables,  was  situ- 
ated on  a  barren  hill  with  a  sweeping  view  of  the  mountains. 

When  the  professor  died  in  1898,  his  two  maiden  daughters 
turned  their  home  into  a  boarding  house.  In  1909,  it  was  taken 
over  by  the  college.

hard  work  to  the  fi 

to  him.  "1   didn't  sit 

,iere  and  fold  my  liands  and  wait  for  the  business  to  come." 

Kmm  previous  hofi'l  experience,  he  knew  that  a  hotel  mnsl 
be  large  enough  to  fully  accomniodate  the  peaks  ol  business  sd 
that  it  eoiild  survive  during  the  slow  montiis,  He  knew  that  he 
could  make  the  Inn  jiay  if  it  were  enlarged.  When  the  eollcg, 
trustees  voted  this  down,  he  threatened  to  resign,  and  they  eon- 
eecied.  The  wing  which  now  holds  the  main  Immge  was  added  in 
1916. 

Mr.  Treadway  also  understood  the  importance  ol  transient 
traffic.  Being  off  the  main  highwavs,  the  Inn  received  little  siul. 
traflie,  especiallv  since  wiiat  Is  now  Creylock  Hall  was  then  ;i 
large  hotel.  One  way  to  attract  more  people,  believed  Mr.  Tread 
way,  was  to  cliange  the  name.  Transients  not  connected  willi 
Williams  balked  at  the  name  "Williams  Alumni  House". 

At  that  time  Mr.  Bemis  owned  a  store  on  Siiring  Street  neai 
Rudin'ck's  and  took  boarders  upstairs  in  what  he  called  the  Wil 
liams  Inn.  Mr.  Treadwav  noticed  Mr.  Bemis'  sign  and  bought  tJK 
name  for  five  dollars.  "I  took  the  sign  down  with  my  own  hand. 
and  signed  the  release,"  he  said  with  a  smile. 

The  Inn  was  fiutlier  expanded  when  houses  were  moved  neai 
it  to  make  room  for  college  buildings  and  fraternities.  These  be 
came  in  time  the  Inn's  three  annexes.  More  transient  traffic  was 
attracted  by  the  attractive  and  expensive  signs  (all  cost  over  $1(X)) 
which  were  put  u|i  in  the  Williamstown  ;uea.  "All  tliose_  things 
helped  to  get  things  into  the  black  and  to  get  Dad  establisiicd 
liere,"  said  lohn  Treadwav. 

Son  t.s'  Maiuificr 

John  F.  Treadway,  who  was  born  in  the  Williams  Inn,  is,  ac- 
cording to  his  father,  "prettv  well  ac(|nainted  with  the  building". 
He  worked  summers  for  the  Inn,  starting  out  bv  weeding  the  gar- 
den while  a  student  at  Williston.  He  took  o\er  as  manager  in  19;)9 
alter  graduating  Ironi  Dartmouth. 

Interested  in  ornithologv.  John  is  largelv  responsible  for  the 
extensix-e  gardens  and  the  liird  saiictuarv  behind  the  Inn.  A  bird 
feeding  station  has  been  built  into  one  o(  the  Inn's  live  dining 
rooms  so  that  guests  can  watch  the  birds  during  meals. 

Under  John's  management  the  Inn  now  can  aeeommodate 
1:35  guests  and  can  feed  as  nianv  as  '^OO  people.  A  gift  shoj).  with 
items  ranging  from  maple  sugar  to  sports  clothes,  a  cocktail 
lounge,  and  space  for  meetings  and  dances  are  among  the  Inn's 
many  laeilities.

liams Inn  are  Woodrow  Wilson.  William  Howard  Talt,  Cordell

famed  experience  with  the  Boston  jioliee  strike  which  began  his 
career  as  a  public  servant,  and  James  Cagney,  Monty  Wooley, 
and  .\melia  Ehrhart  have  spent  time  there.

Purple  Yearlings 
Face  Jeft  Frosh 
For  Championship 

Both  Elevens  To  Carry 
Unblemished      Records 
Into    Today's    Game 


By  Jim  Robinson 

Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  Seeking  to 
retain  the  coveted  Little  Three 
championship  the  undefeated  Wil- 
liams freshman  football  team 
joui'neys  to  Amherst  to  take  on 
the  powerful  undefeated  Jeff 
yearlings  at  10:30  this  morning 
on  Hitchcock  Field.  Both  elevens 
sport  four  wins.  Williams  has  an 
11  game  winning  streak  compiled 
over  the  past  tlii-ee  years  at  stake 
in  the  contest. 

The  Purple  have  scored  ninety- 
eight  points  while  allowing  their 
opponents  only  thirty-two  in  their 
victories  over  Vermont,  Andover, 
R.P.I.,  and  Wesleyan.  Most  of  the 
Eph  yardage  has  been  piled  up  on 
the  ground  with  Bob  Rorke,  co- 
captain  Bob  Stegeman  and  Norm 
Gordon  leading  the  attack.  Quar- 
terbacks Jim  Briggs  and  Al  Miller 
have  found  able  pass  receivers  in 
ends  Sandy  Smith  and  Al  Erb  to 
add  to  the  attack. 

Line  Play  Excellent 

Co-Captain  Fay  Vincent  is  a 
standout  in  the  excellent  Eph  line 
which  has  given  the  backs  good 
protection.  Bob  Kaufman  has  been 
outstanding  at  center,  and  Jon 
O'Brien  and  Erb  have  been  de- 
fensive stars  at  guard  and  end, 
respectively.  The  aggressiveness  of 
this  line  and  especially  Ed  Eggers 
and  Bill  Mead,  hEis  repeatedly  been 
a  big  factor  in  keeping  the  Purple 
undefeated. 

Amherst  has  been  a  little  more 
lax  on  defense  as  it  has  given  up 
41  points  in  four  games  but  last 
week  it  allowed  only  seven  points 
to  the  previously  undefeated  Ti'in- 
ity  eleven  in  a  25-7  victory.  It  uses 
a  ground  attack  to  account  for 
most  of  its  yardage.  Last  week, 
however,  they  scored  twice  on 
passes. 

Weiser,  Wentzel  lead  Jeffs 

Heading  the  strong  Jeff  squad 
are  Co-Captains,  tackle  Alan 
Wentzel,  and  quarterback  Bob 
Weiser.  On  the  ground  the  Jeffs 
count  on  backs  Tom  Flaherty,  Bill 
Vickers  and  Terry  Farina.  End  Boh 
Lu,iCh  is  the  leading  pass  receiver, 
while  defensive  stalwarts  in  the 
line  are  Jim  Crowley,  George  Duf- 
fy and  Tim  Dalsimer, 


Williams  Defends  Edge  In  Series; 
Walters  Uncertain  On  Quarterback 

Qmirtcrhdck  Problem 
Coach  l,en  Watters  faces  a  difficult  problem  in  choosing  his 
(|Liarterl)ack  for  today's  ).'ame,  for  this  is  a  position  which  has  prov- 
ed a  trouble  spot  in  recent  j^aines.  Senior  Boh  Apiileford's  sub- 
par  performance  apiinst  Union  two  weeks  aj;o,  which  was  par- 
tially the  result  of  a  had  ankle,  makes  him  a  questionable  chciice 
h)r  this  important  same,  but  his  apiDaient  succcs.sor,  Gary  Higj^iiis, 
has  been  unable  to  keep  the  Purple  offense  ruimhig  in  hij;h  ^ear 
in  the  two  (panics  he  has  started.  Perhaps  the  answer  will  be  found 
in  .\huv  \Veiiistein,  a  fine  pas.ser  wno  has  played  well  in  Ids 
brief  appearances  this  season.  The  rest  of  the  backfield  should 
present  no  problem,  with  either  -Matt  Donner  or  Joel  Potter  at 
fullback,  Whitey  Kaufman  at  one  halOiack  and  probably  Bob 
Hatcher  at  the  other. 


Left:  John  Pritchard  who  will  play  in  his  last  game  against  Am- 
herst today  and  right  senior  Dick  Fearon  whose  leg  injury  keeps  him 
from  starting  in  the  Amherst  tilt. 


Hecker,  Fox  Lead  Eph  Harriers 
Against  Favored  Amherst  Today 

Bij  Dick  Davis 
Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  Coach  Tony  Plansky's  Purple  harriers 
will  whid  up  the  season  today  at  Amherst  with  the  Jeffs.  The 
Little  Three  cham)oionship  will  not  be  at  stake,  because  Wesley- 
aii has  already  defeated  both  Williams  and  .4mherst,  but  an  Eph 
\ictorv  would  mean  finishinj;  the  season  with  a  creditable  ..500 
record. 

Comparing;  performances  af^ainst  Wesleyan,  Amherst  has  a 
very  slight  edge.  They  lost  to  the  Cardinals  by  a  24-31  margin, 
while  the  Ephs  drojiped  a  22-33  decision  to  the  Middletowners. 
Amherst  will  probably  field  its  entire  team,  including  Captain 
and  ace-runner  Bill  Warren.  The  Planskymen,  plagued  by  in- 
juries all  season,  will  be  missing  steady  George  Sudduth,  out  with 
a  sprained  ankle,  as  well  as  former  number-three  runner  Jerry 
Tipper.  Dick  Clokey  has  a  bad  cold,  but  will  probably  run. 

The  Weslevan  jolebes  have  already  assured  themselves  of 
succeeding  Williams  as  Little  Three  champs,  having  beaten  both 
Williams  and  Amherst  yearlings  handily.  Led  by  Elliott  Morss 
and  Charlie  McNaull,  the  Eph  frosh  stand  a  good  chance  of  tak- 
ing the  mediocre  Jeff  squad.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD  SATURDAY,  NOVEMBER  17,  1956 


Amherst  Approves  Of  Fraternities; 
Poll  Shows  Attack  On  Status  Quo 


Saturdav,  Nov.  14  -  The  Anihi'ist  Stiuli-nl  aiiiiouiiccd  in  its 
Novcinlier  2iid  issue  that  "the  studi'iit  body  cxpri'ssi'il  sinnititaut 
piffeiviice  for  a  tiateinitv  system  as  opposed  to  a  iioii-lrateinitv 
anaiifjeiiieiit  in  a  fonnal  poll  of  opinion  upon  collei^e  soeial  sys- 
tems conducted  today. "  91  per  cent  of  the  undergraduates  ca.st 
ballots  in  the  Student  (.'onneil  s|)ousored  relerenduni. 

The  jioll  had  no  lei^islatiye  powers,  i)ut  was,  rather,  a  saiup- 
linn  of  sentiment  which  will  serve  as  a  basis  for  snuijestions  prt'- 
.sented  to  the  Committee  of  Einbt,  a  body  ori;ani/ed  to  stutiv  the 
fraternity  system  at  Amherst. 

Modification  of  Stadi.;  (,)iio 
.Mthoufjh  |)ro-lraternity  opinion  pre\ailed.  the  \ast  majority 
of  students  are  ilissatisfied  with  the  ,y/((/ii.v  quo.  and  prefer  a  more 
liberal  system.  Those  that  favored  liberalization  of  the  system 
favored  the  retention  of  fraternities  by  a  \()te  of  4(S5  to  447.  '52.S 
voti'S  were  cast  in  favor  of  the  jiresent  system,  while  tlu-re  were 
15iS  expressions  of  a  desire  to  re\ert  to  'iiresions  standards' "  in 
which  the  pressure  of  100  per  cent  rnsliinji;  is  reduced.  It  must  be 
noted  that  students  were  iiermitted,  for  some  reason  which  is  not 
made  clear,  to  express  a  preference  for  more  than  one  possibility, 
so  that  the  total  number  of  votes  counted  eijuals  more  than  the 
total  cast. 

Crilicisni  of  Fmlcrniticx 

Considerable  criticism  was  expressed  of  se\c'ral  factors  in  a 
fraternity  type  of  system.  .\  majority  felt  that  rushint;  "interferi'S 
with  the  academic  work  of  the  college  community".  .VpiiioximatcK' 
half  of  the  students  expressed  a  feelinj;  on  three  votes  that  rush- 
ing created  "harmful  ])syeholoyical  pressures,"  frateriuty  rituals 
were  "a  waste  of  time"  and  national  fraternity  affiliation  has  not 
been  beneficial  to  Amherst  undi'ri;raduates. 

On  the  other  hand  frati'inities  were  f^i\cn  sti'ong  votes  of  con- 
fidence on  two  controversial  issues.  Larj,'e  majorities  denied  that 
fraternities  discourasje  intellectual  achievement  and  declared  that 
fraternities  should  not  be  coudenuied  because  thev  are  "selectixe 
in  membership". 

The  freshman  class,  which  voted  on  a  scjiarate  ballot,  indi- 
cated tlK'ir  tireference  foi-  a  fraternity  system  by  a  vote  of  204  to 
29,  with   1  undecided.

ahoHt  ^umlutjn  vhtlpt'l  speaker,  Viml 
TiUkh: 

Harvard  Theologian  Paul  Tillich 
last  week  dealt  a  resounding  up- 
percut  to  a  piece  of  ait  that  had 
invaded  his  preserve.  Tillich's 
target:  the  new,  vista-domed 
painting  of  "The  Last  Supper" 
by  antenna-moustached  Surrealist 
Salvador  Dali.  The  big  picture  is 
now  the  public  favorite  at  Wash- 
ington's National  Gallery  of  Art, 
where  it  has  pushed  Pierre  Ren- 
nir'.'!  dear  little  "Girl  With  a  Wa- 
tering Can"  into  the  mud  as  a 
runner-up.  Declaiming  before  the 
Institute  of  Contemporary  Arts, 
Dr.  Tillich  deplored  Dali's  work 
as  a  sample  of  the  very  worst  in 
"what  is  called  the  religious  re- 
vival today".  Tlie  depiction  of  Je- 
sus did  not  fool  Tillich:  "A  senti- 
mental but  very  good  athlete  on 
an  American  baseball  team  . . .  The 
technique  is  a  beautifying  natur- 
alism of  the  worst  kind.  I  am  hor- 
rified by  it!"  Tlieologian  Tillich 
added  it  all  up:  "Simply  junk!"  In 
Spain.  Ai-tist  Dali  seethed  under 
the  misimpression  that  Tillich  had 
said  "drunk".  Retorted  he,  with 
mustaches  atremble:  "I  have  been 
drinking  mineral  water  exclusively 
for  more  than  ten  years."

April  12  and  13  of  this  academic 
year  under  the  provisions  of  the 
David  Sterling  Memorial  Fund 
which  was  made  a  reality  by  par- 
ents and  friends  of  this  beloved 
Williams'  student.  This  institution 
has  been  founded  in  Dave's  mem- 
ory to  bring  each  year  to  the 
campus,  a  prominant  religious  or 
social  science  figure  for  the  pur- 
pose of  informal  discussion  with 
the  student  body.  While  a  student 
here,  Dave  was  particularly  inter- 
ested in  such  valuable  intellectual 
intercourse  for  the  better  under- 
standing of  important  i.ssues.  Rev. 
William  G.  Cole  revealed  recently 
that  Erich  Frome  might  appear 
next  year  as  the  second  speaker 
under  this  memorial  fund.

Holdlren  To  Address 
Berkshire  Conference 


Seminar  Studies  Growth, 
Economic  Development 


Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  This  even- 
ing Chapin  Hall  will  be  the  scene 
of  the  Berkshire  Hills  Conference 
on  "The  Spirit  of  '76'  ",  a  Semi- 
nar on  the  zoning,  planning  and 
economic  development  of  Berkshire 
County  and  its  outcome  in  1976. 
The  Seminar  is  being  jointly  spon- 
sored by  the  Berkshire  Hills  Con- 
ference. Inc..  Williams  College,  the 
Berkshire  County  Commissioners, 
and  the  Massachusetts  Department 
of  Commerce. 

The  Berkshire  Hills  Conference 
was  organized  in  1926  for  the  pur- 
pose of  making  Berlcshire  County 
one  of  the  most  attractive  areas 
in  the  United  States.  Today,  with 
the  advent  of  super-highways  and 
the  movement  of  people  and  in- 
dustry inland,  the  Conference 
hopes  to  aid  in  the  expansion  of 
the  country's  economy,  the  pre- 
servation of  its  natural  resources. 

Albert  I.  Ris,  '32,  President  of 
the  Berkshire  Hills  Conference, 
heads  the  Committee  for  the  Sem- 
inar. Others  are  Robert  Harda-

Nov.  17  -  An  "open-door"  policy 
for  all  Wesleyan  fraternity  liouses 
on  party  weekends  is  the  major 
revision  featured  in  the  new  social 
regulations,  according  to  John 
Kandravy.  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee which  drew  up  the  new 
rules.  "Doors  will  be  kept  open 
during  party  weekend  and  while 
women  guests  are  In  fraternity 
houses,"  he  said. 

Because  of  pressure  from  the 
administration  and  other  groups 
outside  the  student  body,  the 
Board  of  House  Presidents  decid- 
ed to  take  the  responsibility  of 
revising  and  tightening  social  re- 
gulations this  year.  A  major  rea- 
son for  revising  the  regulations 
was,  according  to  the  chairman, 
"to  protect  the  college  as  a  whole 
in  case  of  unsavo]y  incidents." 
Besides  the  "open-door"  clause,  a 
clause  for  punishment  of  offenders 
lias  been  formulated. 

An  offender  will  be  subject  to 
suspension  from  all  house  privi- 
leges for  a  period  of  two  weeks. 
Thi;i  means  that  he  will  not  be 
able  to  eat  or  sleep  at  his  frater- 
nity, or  to  attend  meetings.  Re- 
sponsibility for  enforcing  the  new 
regulations  will  lie  with  the  ex- 
ecutive committees  of  the  indivi- 
dual fraternities.  However,  the 
new  .set-up  allows  Board  interven- 
tion if  a  house  shirks  its  duty  un- 
der tlie  Honor  System.

Saturday,  Nov.  17  -  Thomas  V. 
Urmy,  M.D.,  Director  of  Health  at 
Williams,  has  announced  that  :i 
Make-up  Clinic  for  polio  vaccin- 
nation  will  be  held  Tuesday,  Nov. 
20,  for  all  students  who  want  ilu' 
shots  but  were  unable  to  appear 
on  Nov.  7  and  8.  when  313  men 
found  it  didn't  hurl  as  much  as 
expected. 

Shots  will  be  given  on  Tuesday 
afternoon  from  2:30  to  6  p.m.  In 
the  initial  clinics  it  was  found  tliat 
on  the  average  a  student  could 
roll  down  his  .sleeve  and  walk  out 
two  or  three  minutes  after  ar- 
riving at  the  infirmary,  and  i 
similar  set-up  at  the  Make-up  Cli- 
nic .should  result  in  just  as  speedy 
and  busine.s.slike  a  run-through. 

The  Health  Department  is  plan- 
ning clinics  on  December  4  and  5 
to  give  second  doses  to  those  stu- 
dents who  have  had  first  doses 
this  month.  Clinics  will  be  open 
from  2:30  to  6  p.m.,  as  previou.sly. 
Further  notices  will  be  circulated 
just  pi'ior  to  tliese  clinics. 

Of  the  313  students  who  parad- 
ed through  the  infirmary  on  No- 
vember 7  and  8,  278  were  jeceiv- 
ing  their  first  shot  ot  the  Salk 
Vaccine.  Thirty-five  had  had  their 
first  shots  elsewhere.

Cap  and  Bells  Presents 
Sheridan's   'The  Critic' 


Saturday,  Dec.  1  -  Cap  and 
Bells  will  present  three  showings 
of  Richard  Brinsley  Sheridan's 
theatiical  .satire,  "The  Critic,"  De- 
cember 13,  14,  and  15  in  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre. 

Walter  NoUner,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  mtsic.  has  composed  and 
arranged  music  for  the  play.  Hj 
will  also  conduct  the  pit  orchestra. 
The  music  is  an  extra  feature  and  i 
should  add  considerably  to  the  in- 
terest, according  to  Giles  Play- 
fair,   director   of    this   production. 

Actors,    Author 

Among  those  featured  in  the 
cast  are  Bob  Vail  '58,  as  Dangle, 
E.  J.  John.son  '59,  as  Sneer,  Pete 
Schroeder  '58,  as  Sir  Fretful  Plai- 
sary,  Pat  McGinnis  '57,  as  Whisk- 
erados  and  Louise  King  of  Ben- 
nington in  the  role  of  M:s.  Dan- 
gle. 

"The    Critic"    is    the    last    and 
least    well    known    of    Sheridan'^ 
three  best  plays.  The  author  was 
the  last  of  the  18th  century  Eng 
lish  school  of  artificial  comedy. 

Background  Lectures 

on  Monday,  Dec.  3,  Prof.  Al- 
len of  the  English  department 
will  give  a  lectuie  on  the  social 
background  of  the  eighteenth 
century,  the  time  of  the  play.  The 
following  Monday,  Dec.  10,  Prof. 
Playfair  will  lecture  in  the  AMT 
on  the  theatrical  background  of 
the  times  and  the  play  itself. 

Tickets  may  be  purchased  from 
the  box  office  at  the  theatre  for 
$1.59  each.  A  heavy  turnout  from 
the  college  is  expected  on  the  ba- 
sis of  past  performance  and  th> 
fact  that  this  is  one  of  the  three 
large-scale  productions  offered 
each  year. 


Williams'  Undergraduates  Participate  As  Instructors 
In  Experiment  To  Alleviate  Shortage  of  Teachers 


Saturday,  Dec.  1  -  Blood-sho; 
eyes,  speeches  in  Hopkins  Hall  anc! 
roller  skates  were  all  prominently 
■ILsplayed  on  campus  this  week  as 
12  fraternities  celebrated  the  tra- 
.iitional  period  of  pledge  hazing 
known  as  Hell  Week. 

Starting  early  in  the  week,  th 
liouscs    put    their    pledge    class  ■ 
'hrough  a  variety  of  stunts,  gag 
^md  honest  physical  labor  with 
I  wo- fold  purpose  In  mind:   to  re 
furbLsh  the  physical  attributes  ff 
'he   respective   houses   and,   morr 
important,  to  build  a  high  degr. 
of  unity  among  the  pledges  them 
selves. 

Two  innovations  were  featured 
in  Hell  Week  this  year.  Under  a 
new  policy  the  administration 
scheduled  no  hour  tests  during  the 
period  to  protect  sopliomores  from 
academic  difficulties. 

Perhaps  the  most  outstanding 
feature  of  this  Hell  Week  Is  the 
participation  of  many  houses  In 
various  charitable  and  other 
worthwhile  activities  throughout 
the  district  for  the  benefit  of  the 
College  Chest  Fund.  In  several 
cases  pledges  worked  long,  hard 
hours  for  individuals  and  groups 
in  the  community  and  then  turn- 
ed over  all  wages  to  the  Chest 
Fund, 

Many  townspeople  were  quite 
lavish  In  their  praise  of  the  fra- 
ternities for  this  type  of  activity.

Tliose  who  imagine  college  in- 
structors are  dignified,  gray-hair- 
ed  gentlemen   will  be  .shocked  to 
learn   that  energetic  undergradu- 
ates with  crew-cuts  are  assisting 
the   Williams   faculty.   These   un- 
dergraduates are  teaching  classes 
as  part  of  an  cxpe: iment  to  over- 
come   the    ever-growing    shorlage 
of   college   instructors.   The   Fund 
for  the  Advancement  of  Education

mittee   on    Utilization    of    College

Professor  Winch  expres.sed  his 
committee's  attitude  by  .saying, 
"The  student  response  is  good  as 
the  student  instructors  are  com- 
petent and  command  respect . , , 
The  boys  are  earning  their  money 
and  I'm  delighted."  Professor 
Winch  added  that  the  teaching  ex- 
perience might  encouiage  some 
student  instructors  to  make  a  car- 
eer of  teaching.  The  program  also

out,  "We  can  get  closer  to  the

was  gaining  valuable  expeiience 
as  he  plans  to  become  a  teacher. 
Chien  Ho  '57,  who  assists  in  chem-

Sat.  December  1  -  Un(|nestionably,  i"  the  minds  of  both  the 
alumni  and  underj^radnates,  lootball  takes  the  spotlijjht  whenever 
Williams  meets  Amherst  to  end  competition  in  all  fall  sports.  For 

the  first  time  in  the  past  five 
years  it  is  a  pleasure  to  look  back 
on  the  outcome  of  the  football 
season.  It  was  Saturday  Nov.  17 
when  the  Wattersmen  turned  an 
erratic  year  into  a  completely  suc- 
cessful one  by  coming  from  be- 
hind to  humble  the  Sabrinas  and 
walk  away  with  the  Little  Three 
Crown,  27-12. 

Freshman  football  was  not  to  be 
denied  either,  as  the  undefeated 
Ephmen  rolled  to  a  spirited,  over- 
powering 27-6  victory  to  insure 
another  potted  ivy  crown  for  Wil- 
liams. Although  the  varsity  soccer 
team  was  edged  2-1  and  Prosh 
soccer  and  both  Cross  Counti-y 
teams  went  down  to  defeat,  the 
day  was  Williams'  and  no  one 
could  deny  it. 

Weihsteln   Pass   Ties   Score 

The  first  half  began  like  most 
Amherst  -  Williams  encounters. 
Both  teams  appeared  unsure  of 
themselves,  but  Amherst  mixed  a 
passing  attack  with  their  running 
game  and  definitely  held  an  edge. 
After  a  fumble  out  of  punt  for- 
mation on  the  Williams  11,  Tom 
Gorman,  Jeff  quarterback,  ram- 
med over  to  give  the  hosts  a  6-0 
lead.  There  were  thirty-five  sec- 
onds left  in  the  half  when  the 
turning  point  of  the  game  came. 
Marv  Weinstein  replaced  Gary 
I^iasins  ?.t  quarterback,  e.nd  cn- 
tourth  down  and  17,  hit  end  Rich 
Kagan,  alone  in  the  end  zone,  to 
tie  the  score.  The  point  after  was 
wide,  but  the  Ephs  had  gained 
a  6-6  half  time  score. 

Even  with  Marsh  McLean's  nine 
yard  sweep  at  the  beginning  of 
the  second  half  to  give  Amherst 
a  12-6  lead,  everyone  felt  fairly 
confident  that  the  Wattersmen 
would  come  back.  It  took  the  Eph 
backfield  of  Weinstein,  Joel  Pot- 
ter, Chip  Ide,  and  Bob  Hatcher 
only  15  plays  to  move  down  field, 
with  Weinstein  sneaking  over  at 
lOrSO,  Norm  Cram  then  made  the 
all  important  PAT,  and  Amherst 
was  behind  13-12.  The  charging 
Eph  line,  which  was  the  real  fac- 
tor behind  the  victory,  immediate- 
ly brought  about  a  Jeff  fumble  on 
their  own  30,  and  five  plays  later 
Matt  Donner  went  over  from  the 
6.  Amherst  was  stunned,  never 
to  return  to  contention,  and  Hat- 
cher's fourth  period  score  was 
just  an  added  blow  to  a  humbled 
Sabrina  eleven. 

Stegeman   Stars 

Bob  Stegeman  led  the  Yearling 
attack  as  they  outfought  and  out- 
played Amherst  to  remain  unde- 
feated. Norm  Gordon  and  Stege- 
man scored  early  in  the  first  perl-

Victorious  Democrat,  Rep.  Cramer  '40 
Active  In  Political,  Billville,  Zete  Affairs 


li,l  Dave  Sktiff 

Saturday,  Dec.  1  -  Robert  Cramer,  Williams  Class  of  '40,  will 
take  his  place  as  State  Representative  from  the  Berkshire  Dis- 
trict when  the  Massachusetts  Lej^islatiue  convenes  next  month. 
Another  "Williams  man  to  make  good",  Mr.  Cramer  has  just  add- 
ed another  link  to  a  chain  of  successes  started  at  Williams. 

Coming  to  Williams  from  Deerfield  Academy  in  1936,  Mr. 
Cramer  won  his  numerals  for  three  years  in  football,  liasketball, 
and  track.  Not  limiting  his  achievements  to  the  athletic  field,  he 
was  also  Secretary  of  Gargoyle  Society,  Treasurer  of  the  Inter- 
Fraternity  Council,  Editor  of  the  "Eph  Williams  Handbook",  and 
an  associate  editor  of  the  RECORD  and  "Purple  Cow". 

Active  Zefa  Psi  Elder 

Mr,.  Cramer'.s  association  with  the  Zeta  P«i   Frnteniity  while 

at  Williams  is  one  of  his  major  interests  and  one  which  has  con- 
tinued long  after  his  undergraduate  affiliation.  He  is  a  trustee  of 
the  Williams'  Chapter  and  heads  the  Elder  Group. 

Up  to  six  months  ago,  when  tlie  pressing  duties  of  campaign- 
ing for  office  forced  his  resignation,  Mr.  Cramer  was  Associate 
Editor  of  the  Williams  Alumni  Review.  Presently,  Mr.  Cramer  is 
Vice  President  and  General  Manager  of  Alanson  Products  In- 
corporated, a  wallpaper  manufacturing  concern  in  Adams,  Mass. 

Senator  Kennedy  Urji^ed  Election  Bid 

A  resident  of  Williamstown  since  1946,  Mr.  Cramer  formerlv 
resided  in  Amherst,  a  quaint  New  England  town  familiar  to  all 
in  Williams'  community.  Although  Mr.  Cramer  majored  in  poli- 
tical science  at  Williams  and  has  maintained  a  keen  interest  in 
politics  and  government,  he  had  never  run  for  an  office  before 
his  election  Being  a  close  friend  of  United  States'  Senator  from 
Massachusetts  John  F.  Kennedy,  Mr.  Cramer  had  participated  in 
politics  in  the  past  by  campaigning  for  Senator  Kennedy  in  West- 
ern Massachusetts.  Senator  Kennedy's  urgings  convinced  Mr. 
Cramer  to  run  for  the  post  of  State  Representative  on  the  Demo- 
cratic ticket.  Mr.  Cramer's  candidacy  was  the  result  of  the  Sen- 
ator's desire  to  get  "good  clean  young  men  of  both  parties  in 
government". 

Interested  in  Tax  Situation 

Since  his  election  Mr.  Cramer  has  expressed  an  interest  in 
the  tax  program  of  the  state.  He  is  aware  that  Massachusetts  has 
frequently  been  criticized  for  its  high  taxes.  Currently,  Mr.  Cra- 
mer is  conducting  a  study  of  the  tax  situation  in  other  states  to  de- 
termine the  relative  merit  of  the  Massachusetts'  program. 

If  his  survey  of  other  states  shows  Massachusetts'  system  is 
inadequate.  Mr.  Cramer  hopes  to  be  able  to  promote  a  revision  of 
the  state  tax  structure.  Mr.  Cramer  is  a  Williams'  graduate  that  is 
"intensely  interested  in  good  government  and  wants  to  get  others 
interested  in  the  field".

Editors  Note:  Tlw  jollowiufl,  letter  was  siihmiltcd  hy  I'rof. 
Scliunian  to  tlw  N.  Y.  Times. 
TO  THE  EDITOR  OF  THE  NEW  YORK  TLMES: 

It  seems  to  me,  as  it  doubth'ss  seems  to  other  readers,  that 
the  "New  York  Times",  as  the  most  accurate,  reliable,  and  autliori- 
tative  newspaper  in  the  world,  has  an  editorial  responsibilitv  in 
the  present  crisis  which  is  not  being  ade(|uately  discharged  by 
daily  outbursts  of  moral  indignation  at  S()\  let  sin,  daily  ambigui- 
ties legarding  Anglo-French-Israeli  "sin"  in  attacking  Egvpt,  and 
daily  eulogies  of  American  rectitude.  Clyrus  Sulzberger  has  indeed 
striven  to  make  helpful  suggestioi.-.,  but  even  he  niis.ses  the  cen- 
tral point. 

The  horror  of  the  Russian  sujipression  of  the  Hungarian  Rev- 
olution of  1956,  as  of  1849,  reipiires  no  further  demonstration.  It  is 
obvious  to  the  world,  including  all  .Magyars  and  all  Russians.  But 
what  thtj  Soviet  oUgarchs  have  done  in  Hungary,  tlii'y  would  not 
'lave  done,  in  my  opinion,  since  they  were  willing  to  accept  a 
Titoist"  reginte  and  even  a  non-Communist  regime  in  Builaiiest, 
save  for  tlie  frightening  fact  that  London,  Paris,  and  Tel-Aviv, 
goaded  by  intolerable  provocation  and  the  irresijousibility  of 
American  policy,  launched  a  "shooting  war"  against  Egypt.  With 
\ioleiice  again  mileashed,  Moscow  could  no  more  afford  to  toler- 
ate an  anti-Communist  regime  in  Budapest  than  the  U.S.A.  could 
iffortl  in  1954  to  tolerate  a  pro-Communist  regime  in  Guatamala. 

To  be  sure,  She])ilov  has  "lied' .  Col.  Nasser  has  also  lied.  E- 
den,  Mollet,  and  Ben-Giuian  lied  in  denying  collusion  in  the  at- 
tack on  Egypt.  American  spokesmen  likewise  lied  in  denying  in 
1954  that  what  the  U.S.A.,  Hondur;!S,  and  Nicaragua  did  in  Guat- 
amala was  a  flagrant  violation  of  customary  international  law,  of 
the  U.  N.  Charter,  and  of  the  Charter  of  the  O.A.S.  Lying  and 
violence  are  inevitable  concommitants  of  (lower  politics  in  a  world 
community  unwilling  and  unable  to  establish  world  gov-ermnent. 
Is  it  too  much  to  ask  the  "Times"  to  abandon  ethnocentric  orgies 
of  outrage  and  to  face  the  facts  a.id  the  operational  realities  of 
foreign  policy?  What  purpose  is  served  by  all  the  pots  calling  all 
the  kettles  black? 

America  shares  res])onsibility  for  Hungary's  tragedy  by 
championing  "liberation,"  encouraging  rebels  to  exjiect  helj),  and 
then  demonstrating  that  no  help  whatever  could  be  extended  with- 
out precipitating  a  world  war  in  which  no  one  would  be  liberated 
and  everybody  would  be  incinerated.  America,  by  appeasing  Nas- 
ser, denying  arms  to  Israel,  and  pressing  Britain  and  France  to 
acquiesce  in  the  ambitions  of  the  "Hitler  of  the  Nile,"  is  partly 
res|ionsible  for  the  tragedy  in  the  Near  East.  Is  it  too  much  to  ask 
the  "Times"  to  stop  (iropagandiziu';  American  self-righteousness? 

Given  the  balance  of  power  in  the  contemporarv  world,  1 
submit  that  there  can  ne\'er  be  any  liberation  of  the  Soviet  satel- 
lites (or  any  unification  of  German v)  save  on  the  basis  of  an  East- 
West  accord  for  the  "neutralization"  of  Central  and  Eastern  En- 
rope.  Neither  can  there  be  any  security  for  Israel  or  any  protection 
for  legitimate  Western  interests  in  the  Levant  or  any  ameliora- 
tion of  the  bitter  |50verty  of  the  .Arabs  save  on  the  basis  of  an 
East-West  accord  for  collaboration— as  Senator-Elect  [acob  Javits 
contended  last  [anuary  in  yoiu'  letter  column  (with  nobody  listen- 
ing) when  he  urged  an  American-Soviet  agreement  for  joint  con- 
:.truction  of  tlic  Aswain  Dain.      • 

To  contend,  as  you  are  doing,  that  all  problems  can  be  solved 
by  fighting  Soviet  sin  is  to  condemn  mankind  to  a  thermonuclear 
war  in  which  there  will  be  no  victors  and  few  survivors.  To  con- 
tend, as  the  Administration  is  doing,  that  the  "status  t|uo  ante 
helium"  must  be  restored  in  the  Near  East  in  the  name  of  "law" 
and  "morality"  is  to  doom  Israel  to  destruction,  to  reduce  Britain 
and  France  to  impotence,  and  to  ueliver  all  of  the  Arab  world  to 
the  U.S.S.R.  on  a  silver  platter,  with  results  which  can  only  be  dis- 
astrous to  the  "Free  World"  and  the  cause  of  peace. 

Please  try  a  little  "realism."  Obsessive  devotion  to  what  George 
F.  Kennan  has  called  "legalistic-moralistic  abstractions"  as  the  banc 
of  foreign  policy  can  lead  only  to  failure  or  catastrophe.  Problems 
of  power  can  be  dealt  with  only  by  war  or  by  diplomatic  bargain- 
ing. Global  war  in  our  time  spells  suicide.  Your  able  staff,  as 
"Scotty"  Reston  has  shown,  is  easily  able  to  come  forward  with 
creative  proposals  regarding  the  stakes  and  terms  of  the  di|ilomatic

in  its  best  tradition,  to  be  constructive?

Feor  J.  Faul  veldt  too  scared  to  ask  for  a  date  —  he  just  lacked  confidence

Wildroot  Cream -Oil.  It'll  keep  your  hair  handsome  and  healthy  looking, 

and  I  ain't  lion."  So  j.  Paul  put  the  bite  on  him  for  some 

money  and  pussyfooted  down  to  the  srnre  for  a  bottle. 

Now  he's  the  pride  of  the  campus,  inanely  beclaws  his 

hair  looks  so  good  . . .  neat  but  not  greasy.  Wildroot  has 

no  alcohol  to  dry  your  hair,  instead  it  contains  Lanolin.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

To  the  Editor  of  the  Williams  Record: 

Throughout  our  four  years  of  football  stnisons,  we  have  seen 
or  heard  often  commented  upon  the  la.xity  and  aiiathetic  attitude  ol 
the  Williams  student  body  towards  cheering.  As  it  is  right  to  cri 
ticize  poor  support  and  spirit  on  the  part  of  the  student  body,  so 
is  it  only  just  in  our  minds  to  eonmiend  a  good  job  when  it  lias 
been  done. 

The  cheering  and  enthusiasm  heard  from  the  visitor's  stands 
at  Pratt  Field  on  Saturtluy,  November  17,  was  the  best  and  most 
encouraging  support  for  the  team  that  we  have  ever  heard,  ami 
it  is  due  allthe  praise  that  it  trulv  deserves.  In  tlu'  account  of  iIk 
game  in  "Amherst  Student",  we  (piote;  "The  Williams  stands,  a! 
tlu)ugli  greatly  outnumbered  bv  the  homeeorniiig  crowd,  easih 
outclieered  Amherst.  In  fact,  if  crowd  support  meant  anything  iii 
all.  Coach  McLanghry's  team  was  cpiite  literally  on  the  field  by  it 
siilf."  Certainly  not  so  the  Williams  team! 

It  is  h()|)ed  that  such  good  and  necessary  support  can  be  con 
tinned  for  all  the  sports  throughout  the  year  as  well  as  lu'xt  fall 
Wo  conclude  with  appreciation  and  gratitude  to  both  team  aii(i 
loyal  fans  for  having  brought,  not  only  the  Little  Three  Champion 
ship  back  to  Williams,  but  for  the  tremendous  and  most  happy 
victory  over  Amherst  which  every  senior  has  so  long  been  hoijin / 
to  see  before  his  graduation  .  .  .  and  he  has.

The  RECORD  expresses  heartfelt  thanks   to  C:oach   Len

EAT,  DRINK,  AND   BE  |\1AKI{IE1> 

On  a  recent  tour  of  .seven  million  American  colleges, 
I  was  struck  by  two  <nitstan(linsr  facts:  first,  the  great 
numlier  of  students  who  smoke  Philip  Morris  ;  and  st'coiul, 
the  great  number  of  .students  who  are  married. 

The  first  phenomenon  -  the  vast  multitude  of  Philip 
Morris  smokers  -  comes  as  no  .surpri.se,  for  what  could 
be  more  intelligent  than  to  smoke  Philip  Morris'.'  After 
all,  i)leasnre  is  what  yon  smoke  for,  and  pleasure  is  what 
Philip  Morris  delivers.  Try  one.  Light  up  and  see  for 
yourself.  ...  Or,  if  you  like,  don't  light  up.  .lust  take 
a  Philip  Morris,  unlighted,  and  pnIT  a  couple  of  times. 
Get  that  w<inderful  llavor'.'  You  bet  you  do  I  Kven  with- 
out lighting  you  can  taste  I'hillp  Morris's  fine  natural 
tobacco.  Also,  you  can  make  your  package  of  Philip 
Morris  last  practically  forever. 

No,  I  say,  it  was  not  the  great  number  of  Philip 
Morris  smokers  that  astounded  me;  it  was  the  great 
number  of  married  students.  Latest  statistics  show  that 
at  some  coeducational  colleges,  the  proportion  of  married 
undergraduates  runs  :is  high  a.s  twenty  per  cent!  And, 
what  is  even  more  startling,  fully  one-quarter  of  these 
marriages  have  been  blessed  with  issue! 

Now,  to  the  young  campus  couple  who  are  parents 
for  the  first  time,  the  baby  is  likely  to  be  a  source  of  con- 
siderable worry.  Therefore,  let  me  devote  today's  column 
to  a  few  helpful  hints  on  the  care  of  babies. 

First  of  all.  we  will  take  up  the  matter  of  diet.  In 
the  past,  babies  were  raised  largely  on  table  scraps.  This, 
however,  was  outlawed  by  the  Smoot-Hawley  Act,  and 
today  babies  are  fed  a  scientific  formula  consisting  of 
dextro.se.  malto.se,  di.stilled  water,  evaporated  milk,  and 
a  twist  of  lemon  peel. 

After  eating,  the  baby  tend.s  to  grow  sleepy.  A  lullaby 
is  very  u.seful  to  help  it  fall  a.sleep.  In  ca.se  you  don't 
know  any  lullabies,  make  one  up.    For  example: 

Go  to  sleep,  my  little  infant, 
Goo-goo  moo-moo  poo-poo  binfant. 

A  baby  sleeps  best  on  its  stomach,  so  place  it  that  way 
in  its  crib.  Then  to  make  sure  it  will  not  turn  itself  over 
during  the  night,  lay  a  .soft  but  fairly  heavy  object  on  its 
back  —  another  baby,  for  instance.

oo,  a.s  you  see,  raising  a  baby  is  no  great  problem. 
All  you  need  is  a  little  patience  and  a  lot  of  love.  Also 
diapers,  rompers,  soakers, crib,  mattress,  sheets,  bumpers, 
blankets,  high  chair,  diapers,  talcum,  baby  oil.  fish  liver

Six  Veterans  Bolster  Eph  Squash  Team;

Circles;  Eells,  Southall  Pace  Chaff eemen 

liy  Karl  llimlttiuin 

S,\turday,  December  1  -  The  Williams  College  varsity  stjnash 
team  s.'mpes  up  to  be  fairly  stronj;  this  year  in  the  eyes  of  vet- 
eran coach  Clarence  Chaffee.  The  Eph  scpiashmen  will  be  led  by 
number  one  player  Ollie  Stafford,  who  last  year  as  a  sophomore 
was  ranked  third  in  the  intercolleji;iate  ranks.  Other  returnin)^  let- 
teirjieri  include  captain  Sam  Eells,  lio^rers  Southall,  Tom  Shnhnan, 
Dick  Eunis  and  C^barlie  Alexander. 

Coach  Chaffee  cites  Bill  Weaver, 
Crosby  Smith,  and  Phil  Perry  as 
the  upperclassmen  who  will  add 
balance  and  depth.  Returning  from 
la.sl  year's  frosh  team  will  be  Sam 
Davis,  Chris  Schaeffer,  and  Ernie 
Fleishman,  who  will  probably 
round  out  the  Eph  line-up.  It  is 
still  early  in  the  year  to  pick  any 
order  of  play,  but  Coach  Chaffee 
feels  that  with  this  combination 
of  veterans  and  new  blood,  the 
team  will  be  well  balanced.

Eph  Quintet  Prepares  For  Season; 
Shaw  Faces  Rebuilding  Program 

Bi/  Chuck  Duiikd 
Saturday,  Dee.  1  -  The  Williams  vaisity  basketball  team  will 
play  .\iC  in  a  practice  j^ame  this  afternoon  in  Lasell  Gym,  as  the 
Shawman  make  final  preparations  for  their  opening  ^ame  on 
Wednesday.  'I'he  Ephmen  have  defeated  North  Adams  State 
Teachers  and  Albany  State  Teachers  in  two  previous  scrimmaj^es, 
but  this  will  be  their  first  test  against  a  regular  college  team.  On 
December  5th,  the  Ephs  journey  to  llano\er,  N.  H.,  to  open  the 
season  with  a  strong  Dartmouth  team,  wliicli  is  the  pre-season 
favorite  to  win  the  Ivy  League. 

Williams  coach  Al  Shaw  faces  a 
difficult  rebuilding  problem  this 
year,  with  only  one  senior  and  four 
juniors  returning  from  last  year's 
team,  which  compiled  a  13-6  re- 
cord. Gone  are  veterans  Wally 
Jensen.  Bob  Buss.  Jim  Symons, 
Andy  Santos,  Mike  Dubroff  and 
Billy  Evans,  as  well  as  captain- 
elect  Walt  Shipley,  who  did  not 
return  to  school  this  fall.  Co- 
Captains  Jensen  and  Buss,  Sy- 
mons, and  Shipley  were  all  start- 
ers on  last  season's  team  and  they 
were  the  top  four  men  in  both 
scoring  and  rebounding. 

Five    Veterans 

Shaw  will  have  to  rely  on  five 
returning  veterans  and  several  fine 
sophomore  prospects  to  fill  the 
gaps  left  by  graduation.  Bob  Par- 
ker. Pete  Willmott,  Phil  Brown, 
Bill  Hedeman,  Jeff  Morton,  Hans 
Halligan,  and  Tom  Longstreth  are 
up  from  the  freshman  team,  which 
compiled  a  fine  13-2  record,  and 
they  will  battle  for  the  starting 
position  with  juniors  Ira  Kowal, 
Marv  Weinstein,  Dave  Allan,  Ed 
Hughes  and  senior  Captain  John 
Lewis,  the  only  returning  starter 
from  last  year's  team.  Bounding 
out  the  squad  will  be  sophomores 
Dan  Fanning.  Hobie  Robinson, 
Bob  Rediske,  Chuck  Dunkel  and 
Tom  Davidson. 

Shaw  has  shifted  Lewis  to  for- 
ward, a  position  he  played  before 
being  moved  to  guard  last  season, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  the  switch 
will  boost  his  scoring  while  taking 
Lidvantage  of  his  strong  rebound- 
ing and  good  defensive  work.  He 
A'ill  probably  start  al  the  outside 
forward  position  with  Hans  Halli- 
gan in  reserve.  The  inside  forward 
position  is  a  w'ide-open  scramble 
between  Kowal,  Hedeman,  Brown 
and  Longstreth,  and  today's 
scrimmage  will  probably  deter- 
mine the  starter  at  that  spot. 
Sophomore  Jeff  Morton,  the  lead- 
ing scorer  and  rebounder  on  the 
frosh  team,  will  replace  the  6'8" 
Shipley  at  center  this  season,  with 
Dan  Fanning  in  reserve. 

Willmott  to  Start 

Frosh  Captain  Pete  Willmott 
is  a  probable  starter  at  one  guard 
position,  with  junior  Ed  Hughes 
in  reserve,  while  Bob  Parker  and 
Marv  Weinstein  will  battle  it  out 
for  the  other  guard  position.  Par- 
ker was  the  second  leading  scorer 
on  the  frosh,  while  Weinstein,  who 
saw  considerable  action  last  sea- 
son, is  being  moved  to  the  right 
guard  position  in  an  attempt  to 
improve  his  scoring. 

Coach  Shaw  stresses  the  fact 
that  this  will  be  an  inexperienced 
ball  club  which  will  make  a  lot 
of  mistakes,  but  he  is  hoping  that 
the  sophomores  will  develop  rap- 
idly as  they  gain  game  experi- 
ence. He  is  undecided  on  his  start- 
ing five  for  the  Dartmouth  game, 
but  he  notes  that  three  or  even 
four  sophomores  may  be  in  the 
starting  line-up.  The  veteran 
coach,  whose  Williams  teams  have 
compiled  an  89-46  record  in  eight 
seasons,  feels  that  this  year's  sche- 
dule is  the  toughest  that  any  of 
his  Purple  squads  have  played, 
and  how  well  the  Ephmen  fare 
this  year  will  depend  on  how  fast 
the  sophomores  come  along. 


By  Kearnij  Hihhard 
Saturday,  Dec.  1  -  With  14  retmning  lettermen,  Coach  Bill 
McC"";nick  considers  this  year's  hockey  team  potentially  the 
greatest  team  that  Wilh'anis  has  ever  seen.  Most  of  the  players 
liave  been  playing  together  for  three  or  fom'  years  and  should  be 
at  their  peak,  botli  as  a  team  and  as  individuals,  according  to 
McCormick. 

The  s(]uad  was  on  the  ice  one  week  earlier  than  last  vear. 
This  in  addition  to  double  pi'actices  over  the  Thanksgiving  va- 
cation, should  find  the  team  ready  for  its  opener  at  Vale  on  Dec. 
)  13ccause  of  the  team's  depth,  NIcCormick  ho|3es  to  use  three  e- 
al  lines  throughout  the  season. 

Experience  at  Defense 
Co-Caplain  |olin  Holman  will  team  up  with  fellow  Nlinneso- 
,ui  Rick  Driscoll  at  defense.  Driscoll  was  named  to  the  Western 

Massachusetis      all-star      hockey 
team  last  year.  Co-Captain  George 


Welles  and  Howie  Patterson  will 
form  the  second  defense.  Both 
these  combinations  played  together 
last  season  and  now  should  prove 
to  be  two  well-coordinated,  tight 
defensive  units. 

Junior  Dave  Cook,  last  year's 
high  scorer  and  most  valuable 
player,  will  lead  the  Ephs'  scoring 
punch.  Last  season  Coach  McCor- 
mick stated  that  Cook  could  make 
any  hockey  team  in  the  United 
States.  Planking  Cook  will  be  Dick 
Lombard  and  Dave  Wood.  Al- 
though hampered  by  a  knee  in- 
jury, Lombard  was  very  effective 
in  the  games  in  which  he  saw  ac-

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD  SATURDAY,  DECEMBER  1,  1956 


Barrow  Conducts 
Choral  Program 

Berkshire  Group  Sings 
Haydn,  Brahms  Works 


Wednesday,  Nov.  28  -  The 
Berkshire  Choral  Society  gave  a 
concert  last  Wednesday  night  at 
8:30  p.m.  in  Chapin  Hall.  Robert 
Barrow,  professor  in  Music  here 
at  Williams,  conducted  the  group 
of  seventeen  women  and  nine 
men.  The  twenty-six  members  were 
selected  from  throughout  the 
county. 

The  program  consisted  of  two 
large  choral  works,  including 
Haydn's  "Mass  in  D,  No.  3,"  and 
Brahms'  "New  Love  -  Song 
Waltzes".  As  professor  Barrow 
said  about  the  Haydn  Mass: "This 
Haydn  Mass  is  one  of  the  greatest 
of  all  Haydn  choral  works.  It  is 
often  called  the  Lord  Nelson  Mass 
as  it  was  written  in  honor  of  the 
great  English  admiral.  It  has  not 
been  heard  in  the  east  in  some 
time,  and  this  was  the  first  time 
it  has  been  presented  at  Williams." 
Norma    Oleary    Soprano    Soloist 

The  "New  Love-Song  Waltzes" 
by  Brahms  are  designed  for  a  so- 
prano soloist,  a  mixed  chorus,  and 
a  piano  duet.  Miss  Norma  Cleary, 
a  member  of  the  New  England  Op- 
era Company  in  Boston,  was  the 
soprano  soloist  and  was  featured 
in  four  songs. 

Two  Williams  undergraduates, 
Don  Brown  and  Dick  Crews,  botl- 
of  the  class  of  1959.  are  members 
of  the  choral  society.  The  assis- 
tance of  Nicholas  Wright,  Ija: i- 
tone  and  Miss  Jo  Ann  Mets  and 
Thomas  Griswold,  accompanists 
was  an  important  factor  in  ih 
success  of  the  program.  T'r.ofj^so 
Barrow  said.

will  now  be  handled   by  a  ilial   system.   Instead  ol    routini;  calls

Hopkins  Hall  in  the  room  adjacent  to  the  mimcoijrapli  room.  Tins 
I  loiii  is  also  occupied  bv  the  campus  police  and  the  iiinht  walch-

I  plimen  relorn  from  (.'hristmas  vacation,  although  Welanct/  said 
lli.it  there  init;lit  be  sonic  slight  delay. 

The  onl\'  capital  e.\p<'nse  which  lias  involved  the  collcf^e  so 
l.ir  has  been  in  the  installation  ol  tlu'  conduit  pipe,  which  cost  sev-

will  rim  approximatclv  $1, ()()()  dollars  a  iiioiitli.  This  lii;ure  includes 
lh<'  rental  ol  all  phones  reueiviiii;  service  ironi  the  switchboard. 
In  addition  to  this  expense  lliere  will  be  the  expensi'  ol  pavinif  the 
operators  who  will  run  the  switchboard.

The  administrative  task  of  the  new  lacilities  will  be  lu'aded  by 
Mr.  Cabin  Hauj;li,  assistant  (reasurer  of  the  colleffc.  .\t  ])reseiit 
he  is  at  work  drawinj;  up  the  new  phone  directory,  since  each

is  completed,  there  will  oiilv  be  1 15  numbers  on  the  board.  Haiii;li 
,idde<l  that  there  are  about  S5  extensions  off  these  1 15  nimibcrs. 

Outside  calls,  incliidiiii;  loiiii  distance  calls,  will  also  be  rout-

The  main  traffic  throimh  the  board  will  be  taken  care  of  bv 
two  wonien  operators  who  will  be  hired  by  the  collei;e.  In  addition 
to  this,  student  operators  will  control  tlii>  board  diuinij;  the  hours 
of  least  traffic,  such  as  at  meal  time,  duriiij^  the  cvciiiiii;  and  on 
Smulays.  After  1():(K)  P.M.  the  ni^lil  watchman  will  handle  any 
calls  that  may  come  in. 

Only  colleire  offices  will  be  covered  bv  the  new  system.  The 
dormitory  and  personal  phones  will  still  be  on  the  old,  town 
system,  as  will  the  offices  of  the  RKCOHl)  and  WMS.  The  new 
s)stem  will  also  ])rovJile  for  phones  in  the  offici's  ol  .Stetson  Libra-

In  closing  the  intcrxiew,  IIaiii;li  said  that  there  is  ample  room 
for  expansion  in  the  new  system  in  case  it  is  needed.  He  said  that 
another  25  phones  conld  be  put  on  the  system,  but  addetl  that  it 
was  not  forseeii  that  that  necessity  would  ari.se  in  the  near  luture. 


'60  Receives  Most; 
Dean  Warns  423 


C.C.  Endorses  Move  To  Pronounce  Hazing  "Illegal"; 
Ultimate  Decision  Rests  With  Baxter  And  Trustees 


Wednesday.  Dec.  5  -  The  Office 
of  the  Registrar  last  week  an- 
noinced  that  423  Williams  men 
had  received  a  total  of  633  warn- 
ings at  the  mid-term  mark  of  the 
first  .semester.  As  expected,  the 
P.eshman  Cla.ss  had  the  largest 
number  warned,  141.  but  the 
sophomores  were  a  close  second 
with  131.  The  present  Junior  | 
Cla.ss  pulled  in  only  89.  and  the 
Seniors  weie  low  with  62. 

On  the  whole,  the  figures  com- 
pared favorably  with  last  fall's 
teals.  When  they  weie  fresh- 
men, both  the  Class  of  1958  and 
the  Cass  of  1959  found  51  per 
cent  of  their  members  receiving 
warnings,  while  49  per  cent  of 
this  year's  fre.shmen  got  slips 
from  the  Dean's  Office. 

'58    Shews    Big    Improvement 

Tire  most  noticeable  improve- 
ment over  previous  records  was 
.shown  by  the  Class  of  1958.  On 
the  basis  of  original  enrollment, 
percentage  of  warnees  is  down  to 
36  per  cent  from  51  per  cent  as 
fi'osh;  the  Senior  Class,  who 
strangely  had  a  greater  percen- 
tage warned  as  sophomores  than 
as  freshmen,  is  down  from  44  per 
cent  to  26  per  cent. 

Of  the  633  warnings,  roughly 
80  per  cent  1 486 1  were  in  the 
"D"  category,  and  there  were  119 
"E"  warnings.  Sopliomores,  in- 
cidentally, got  the  mo.st  "E'S", 
with  a  total  of  43.  A  good  many 
of  the  .junior  and  senior  warn- 
ings   were    "Incompletes". 

The  1-2  and  la-2a  took  the 
highest  loll,  particularly  Eng- 
lish. Physics,  Economics,  Math, 
and  Religion.  There  was  also  more 
than  a  sprinkling  in  many  of  the 
popular  7.  9,  and  11  courses.  Tlie 
Dean's  Office  only  sends  home 
warnings  of  students  who  receive 
two  or  more.

and  best-established  string  quar- 
tets in  existence,  will  offer  its 
annual  concert  this  evening  at

mittee, is  expected  to  draw  an 
overflow  crowd.  There  will  be  no

in  Hiieiios  Aires  under  the  auspices  of  the  State  Dc])artinent's  ed- 
ucational exchanj^e  program.  Professor  of  History  and  Literature 
Luther  S,  .Mansfield  has  returned  to  Williams  lull  of  praise  for 
Ai'f^entina  and  almost  exeiythiiif";  .Argentine. 

Commcntini;  on  forei<;n  trips  in  jjeiieral  and  his  in  particular, 
Professor  Mansfield  said,  "If  one  doesn't  undertake  to  do  more  than 

he    knows    he    can   do    well    aiidO 

satisfactorily,  he  is  likely  to  have 
the  time  of  his  life — as  I  have 
had." 

Mr.  Mansfield  arrived  in  Ar- 
gentina on  June  23,  in  time  for 
the  opening  of  the  winter  term  of 
the  University  of  Buenos  Aires. 
He  returned  to  the  United  States 
four  months  later,  on  October  20 

Taught   Two   Classes 

While  in  Buenos  Aires,  Mr 
Man.sfield  conducted  two  classes 
a  lecture  course  in  Contemporai> 
United  States  Literature,  and  a 
special  seminar  on  Herman  Mel- 
ville. Besides  his  regular  classes 
Mr.  Man.sfield  gave  numerous 
other  lectures  to  various  audi- 
ences. He  spoke  a  total  of  69 
limes  in  Argentina,  with  audiences 
ranging  from  50  to  1200  people. 
He  conducted  a  special  lecture 
course  for  teachers  at  Cordoba, 
and  delivered  the  commencement 
address  of  the  American  Com- 
munity High  School. 

Professor  Mansfield  described 
the  Argentine  university  as  more 
similar  to  the  European  than  the 
American.  Many  of  the  students 
hold  regular  jobs — the  majority 
as  teachers  in  grade  .schools.  The 
professors,  also,  work  mostly  on  a 
part  time  basis.  For  this  reason, 
classes  do  not  start  until  3:30  in 
the  afternoon,  and  the  majority 
of  them  are  conducted  between 
6:30  and  9:30  p.m.  Almost  all 
the  classes  are  in  lecture  form. 

University    Has    No    Campus 

The  University  itself  has  no 
campus  in  the  sense  that  we  do. 
There  are  no  fraternities  as  we 
know  them,  and  the  students,  for 
the  most  part,  must  secure  their 
own  room  and  board. 

In  all  Argentine  universities,  de- 
grees are  awarded  on  a  uniform 
basis.  That  is.  in  order  to  secure  '  gentina.  Although  there   is  much 


bi/  Stephen  C.  Roue 
Williamstown,  13ec.  3  -  In  a  late  session  tonight,  the  College 
Council  \'oiced  approval  of  a  motion  by  the  Student-Faculty  Dis- 
cipline (Joininittee  to  abolish  "Hell  Week."  The  Council  voted  on 
a  suggestion  of  the  Disciijline  (Joininittee  that  "fraternity  liazing 
be  declared  illegal."  The  full  text  of  the  Discipline  Committee's 
recommendation  appears  on  page  two.  It  was  expected  that  both 
Cargovie  and  the  Social  C^oiiiicil  would  soon  conduct  sentiment 
votes  to  liirther  determine  student  opinion  on  the  abolition 
move.  Ill  any  case  the  final  decision  now  rests  with  President 
Baxter  and  tlie  Trustees. 

The  C.  C.  vote  was  eleven  to  two  in  favor  with  two  absten- 
tions. The  minority  votes  came  from  jack  Love,  '.58,  and  Larry 
Nilseii,  '5S,  After  die  meeting  diey  issued  the  following  joint  state- 
ment: "We  admire  the  intention  of  the  Discipline  Committee  in 
attempting  to  outlaw  the  sadistic  and  immature  practices  of  hazing, 
but  we  feel  that  the  C>'omiiiittee  has  gone  too  far  in  recommending 
diat  "fraternity  ha/.ing  be  declared  illegal"  widiout  first  evaluating 
the  many  aspects  of  liazing  that  are  of  real  value  to  the  houses 
and  the  indixiduals  iinolved.  In  view  of  bad  publicity  to  the  col- 
lege and  jiossible  harm  to  i^ledgcs.  we  feel  that  a  better  recom- 
meiidation  would  be  that  ha/iiig  be  limited  to  the  campus. 
Majorilij  Victcpoint 
The  majority  of  the  C.  C.  members  felt  diat  hazing  should  be 

stopped    on    the    grounds    of    the 

possible  dangers  involved  and  the 
consequent  bad  publicity  to  the 
college.  They  approved  of  the  mo- 
tion to  "stop  pre-initiation  prac- 
tices intended  to  wony,  degrade, 
or  tire  pledges,  or  which  might 
result  in  injury  to  person,  loss  of 
time  and  energy  for  academic 
work,  nuisance  to  the  public  or 
to   other  people." 


Professor  Luther  Mansfield 
who  recently  returned  from  an  ex- 
tensive visit  to  Argentina. 


ing  cleared.  Mr.  Mansfield  pointed 
out  that  Argentina  is  one  of  the 
world's  few  countries  with  a  high- 
er literacy  rate  than  the  United 
States. 

Professor  Mansfield  labeled  in- 
flation as  one  of  the  biggest  Ar- 
gentine problems.  In  order  to  keep 
Argentine  money  in  Argentina,  the 
government  has  placed  very  high 
taxes  on  foreign  manufactured 
products.  The  tax  on  new  Ameri- 
can automobiles,  for  Instance,  is 
around  $7,000.  Mr.  Mansfield  re- 
lated that  one  Argentine  acquain- 
tance of  his  paid  $2,000  for  a  1937 
model  English  made  Ford. 

Commies    Are    Hard    to    Find 

Professor  Mansfield  said  that  it 
is  difficult  to  ascertain  the  actual 
influence   of   Communism   in  Ar- 


a  degree  the  student  must  pass  a 
nation-wide  test.  For  this  reason, 
the  curriculum  is  narrowly  defin- 
ed. Many  classes  are  little  more 
than  cram  sessions  for  these  ex- 
ams. Were  it  not  for  the  fact  that 
most  students  do  extra  work  on 
their  own.  Mr.  Mansfield  believes 
that  the  system  would  produce 
few  well-rounded  graduates. 

;iigh  standard  of  Living 

Professor  Mansfield  credited  Ar- 
gentines with  a  high  standard  of 
living,  in  comparison  with  other 
South  American  countries.  "No- 
body goes  hungry",  he  said,  "for 
the  food  is  very  cheap,  very  abun- 
dant and  very  good."  Tlie  few 
slums  that  have  arisen  In  Buenos 
Aires  because  of  the  rapidly  In- 
creasing population,  are  slowly  be- 


Communist  name-calling,  he 
doubted  that  there  is  heavy  Com- 
munist feeling  outside  the  intel- 
lectual groups  and  the  labor  un- 
ion leaders. 

When  asked  about  anti-Ameri- 
can feeling  in  Argentina.  Mr. 
Mansfield  stated.  "The  United 
States  is  a  kind  of  Utopia  in  their 
eyes,  and  like  any  other  Utopia 
from  which  one  is  somehow  ex 
eluded,  it  is  the  object  of  envy  and 
even  hatred  no  less  intense  than 
the  love  and  admiration  it  often 
evokes  in  the  same  people.  I  like 
the  Argentines  and  they  have  all 
been  most  friendly  to  me.  I  have 
not,  during  a  four  month  visit, 
even  a  single  incidence  of  un- 
friendliness to  report," 


The  Discipline  Committee's  re- 
commendation was  "to  the  admin- 
istration". President  Baxter  could 
not  be  reached  for  comment. 

Amherst  Incident 

In  other  news  Dick  Fearon  '57, 
Student  Chairman  of  the  Disci- 
pline Committee  told  the  Council 
that  four  freshmen  had  been 
penalized  for  ungentlemanly  con- 
duct over  Williams-Amherst  week- 
end. Tliey  took  over  the  Amlierst

weeks  and  campused  for  the  rest 
)f  the  year.  The  other  three,  who 
turned  themselves  in,  were  cam- 
pused until  March  23,  Fearon 
called  the  incident  "serious".

"An  Overdue  Decison" 


The  decision  made  by  tlie  Collejje  Council  to  cndoisi'  the 
leconxinendation  of  the  Stiident-Facidty  DiscipHne  Oonimittee 
abohshiiig  the  negative  aspects  ol  "Hell  Week"  is  a  momentous 
one.  Seldom,  if  ever  before,  has  the  College  Council  been  able  to 
take  such  a  firm  stand  on  an  is.sue  with  .such  far  reachiui;  conse- 
quences. The  Council's  action  is  heartedly  a|)plauded. 

One  of  the  failures  of  student  govermnent  at  Williams  lies  in 
the  luifortunate  realit)'  that  leadi'rs  are  selecte^l  on  the  basis 
of  personal  appeal  rather  than  on  their  interest,  ability  or  willing- 
ness to  handle  key  issues.  At  the  outset  of  Monday  night's  meeting, 
it  a|)peared  as  if  the  Coinicil  was  going  to  straddle  the  issue  by 
quibbling  over  imimportant  technicalities.  Fortunately  a  forceful 
minority  was  able  to  compel  the  more  reluctant  members  to  take 
a  stand.  One  class  president  voted  in  absentia  while  another  walk- 
ed out  before  the  discussion  on  "liell  Week "  began.  The  college 
is  entitled  to  know  how  tlieir  representatives  vote.  Some  repre- 
sentatives, fortunately  a  minority,  are  unwilling  to  speak  out 
either  due  to  lack  of  intelligence  or  for  fear  of  personal  conse- 
quences. Last  spring  the  College  Council,  the  Social  Council  ( in 
a  sentiment  vote)  and  Cargovle  voted  overwhelminglv  in  favor 
of  Total  Opportunity.  Vet  only  one  house  president  was  willing 
or  able  to  go  along  completely  with  this  policy.  Only  a  small 
minority  led  by  the  Presidents  of  the  College  and  Social  Councils 
and  the  President  of  Cargoyle  spoke  out  to  the  students  on  this 
issue.  The  only  way  student  government  at  Williams  is  going  to 
rai.se  its  prestige  is  through  a  vvillingne.ss  on  the  part  of  the  or- 
ganizations to  face  squarely  the  main  issues  of  the  day.  The  Col- 
lege Council  did  this  on  .Monday  and  the  HE(X)RD  hopes  that  it 
will  continue  to  do  so.  Otherwise  the  students  must  be  willing  to 
see  that  the  dead  wood  is  eliminated  and  replaced  by  more  grow- 
ing material. 


And  The  Mugwumps 


The  Williams  UECX)HD  finds  it  very  heartening  to  rejiort  the 
action  of  the  Student-Faculty  Discipline  Committee  and  the  Col- 
lege Council  directed  towards  the  abolition  of  "Hell  Week".  We  are 
hopefully  confident  that  President  Da.xter  will  look  up  on  this  en- 
lightened petition  of  our  student  and  faculty  rejiresentatives  with 
favor  and  that  the  entire  Williams  comnuuiity  will  acccjot  the  de- 
cision in  good  faith.  We  have  to  admit  that  this  decision  in  regard 
to  "Hell  \Veek"  is  long  overdue.  Indeed  it  is  so  long  overdue  that 
the  issue  would  seem  a  little  absiu'd  if  "Hell  Week"  as  it  exists  at 
Williams  had  not  become  so  flagr.mtly  unwholesome.  In  addition 
we  have  to  admit  that  Williams  is  acting,  as  it  fretpiently  does, 
only  when  for  some  it  is  too  late.  Finally,  we  have  to  admit  that 
not  only  humanitarian  considerations  but  also  a  fear  of  unfortunate 
publicity  was  needed  to  jirovoke  action.  In  spite  of  all  this,  the 
present  victory,  if  it  is  clinched,  will  not  have  been  an  easy  one. 
We  should  consequently  be  grateful  to  all  who  helped  bring  such 
a  victory  about. 

Some  might  argue  that  "Hell  Week"  is  not  inherently  bad  but 
they  overlook  the  fact  that  it  is  inherent  in  "Hell  Week "  that  the 
more  extreme  elements  will  set  its  tone  since  the  more  moderate 
elements  ignore  this  institution.  As  a  result  there  is  little  restraining 
influence.  We  are  only  too  painfully  aware  of  how  far  some  would 
like  to  go  after  the  grotesfiue  stories  of  the  past  week. 

Tlie  alleged  purpose  of  pledge  training  is  to  acquaint  the 
pledge  with  his  fraternity  and  develo))  within  him  a  spirit  of 
brotherhood.  If  this  is  the  pur|5ose,  then  the  BECORD  woidd  like 
to  know  how  the  process  known  as  "breaking  a  pledge",  the  in- 
stitution of  rides,  and  the  hostility  shown  towaids  the  pledge  can 
possibly  increase  his  spirit  of  brotherhood.  Contrary  to  some 
pledge  masters,  fraternities  were  not  designed  to  prepare  men  for 
the  Army. 

One  of  the  greatest  oversights  of  the  proiDonents  of  "Hell 
Week"  is  that  the  human  mind  and  human  emotions  are  ex- 
tremely complex.  Individuals  react  to  the  same  situations  in  very 
different  ways.  Because  of  these  complexities  it  is  not  safe  to 
make  assumptions  about  how  the  residts  of  these  "Hell  Week" 
institutions  effect  a  pledge.  What  might  effect  one  person  only 
superficially  might  have  far  greater  effects  on  a  person  more  sen- 
sitive or  less  experienced. 

The  decision  to  eliminate  the  negative  aspects  of  "Hell  Week" 
is  not  contrary  to  fraternities  but  rather  it  represents  their  best 
interests. 


Discipline  Committee 


David  C.  Phillips  inoved  that  the  joint  Faculty-Student  Com- 
mittee on  Discipline  recommend  to  the  administration  that  fra- 
ternity "hazing"  be  declared  illegal  and  that  in  consultation  with 
student  representa'ives.  the  admiiustration  devise  ways  and  means 
of  interpreting  and  enforcing  this  rule. 

Passed  by  a  vole  of  14  to  1. 

It  was  clearly  established  in  the  discussion  of  this  motion  that 
the  prohibition  of  "hazing"  woidd  not  be  intended  to  prevent  the 
requirement  by  fraternities  of  legitimate  pre-initiatioii  duties  from 
pledges.  Tlie  primary  principle  in  this  connection  is  that  such 
duties  .should  be  worthwhile  in  themselves,  e.g.,  cleaning  the  hou.se 
and  groimds;  learning  fraternity  or  college  history,  songs,  rituals, 
etc.;  assisting  welfare  or  public  agencies;  taking  part  in  recognized 
extracurricular  activities;  performing  normal  house  duties  and  re- 
sponsibilities; meeting  recognized  standards  of  personal  conduct. 

It  was  ec^ually  clear  that  the  intent  of  the  motion  is  to  stop 
pre-initiation  practices  intended  to  worry,  ridicule,  degrade  or  tire 
pledges,  or  which  might  result  in  injury  to  person,  loss  of  time  and 
energy  for  academic  work,  nuisance  to  the  public  or  to  other 
people.

Simpson  Speaks  On  Middle  East, 
Addresses  Women  Voters  League 

By  Mack  Uasslcr 

Wednesday,  Dec.  5  -  Now  that  a  relative  yet  imeasy  calm 
has  seemed  to  settle  over  the  Middle  East  and  Hungary  the  timi' 
has  come  for  students  and  critics  to  attempt  some  interpretation 
of  these  sporadic  frightening  outbursts  of  the  last  month  and  a 
half. 

One  such  attempt  was  made  recently  by  Prof.  Dwight  Simp- 
son of  the  Political  Science  Department  in  a  s|)cech  to  the  League 
of  Women  Voters  at  the  Williams  Inn.  Following  this  presenta- 
tion he  elaborated  his  views  in  an  interview  with  THE  BECORD. 
All  Old  Problem 

Prof.  Simi)son's  ri-marks  on  the  Midtlle  East  centered  a- 
round  his  interpretation  of  the  basic  problem,  which  he  sees  as 
the  old  antagonism  and  lack  of  understanding  between  the  Aral) 
nations  and  the  West  dating  back  to  the  years  directly  alter 
SVorld  War  1.  At  this  time  the  West  "gyp|}ed"  the  Middle  East  out 
of  an  Arab  Empire  which  had  been  promised  them  with  the 
breakdown  of  the  Ottoman  Emiiire.  Two  decades  later  we  increas- 
ed this  feeling  of  hostility  by  supporting  the  Israeli  State.  The  fi- 
nal stroke,  then,  was  brutally  given  by  the  military  action  of  the 
past  few  weeks  which,  Simixsou  says,  mark  "the  utter  end  of  Bri- 
tish and  French  hifluence  in  the  Middle  East  at  least  in  this 
century." 

"United  States,  On  the  Fence" 

As  for  the  position  of  the  United  States,  he  sees  us  "balanced 
on  a  fence"  between  gaining  Eastern  confidence  and  daring  a 
split  with  our  Western  allies.  The  "Power  Vacuum"  existing  in 
this  area  of  crisis  will  be  filled  either  by  the  United  States  or  the 
Soviets. 

M  this  point  the  relation  of  the  recent  reports  of  Bussian 
Communist  arms  flowing  into  Syria  coupled  with  the  disorder  in 
Iraq  was  obvious.  Prof.  Simpson  stressing  the  fact  that,  if  Russia 
were  to  secure  influence  in  Syiia,  it  would  be  able  for  the  first 
time  to  "leap  the  Bagdad  Pact ",  said  that  he  thought  military  aiti 
to  Iraq  shoidd  be  given  "serious  consideration  ". 

Short  and  Long  firiiigf  Solutioii.f 

The  "short  range "  solution  as  Prof.  Simiison  sees  it  is  precisely 
what  the  UN  Police  F"orce  in  trying  to  do:  ""return  peace  to  the 
area  so  that  the  great  powers  may  come  to  some  agreement. "  Ironi- 
cally he  pointed  out  that  prior  to  the  Israeli  invasion  of  Egypt,  the 
Ara1)s  were  willing  to  discuss  peace  in  terms  of  the  boundary 
lines  proposed  for  Israeli  by  the  UN  in  1947,  but  this  unfortu- 
nately is  now  '"spilt  milk". 

The  "long  range "  solution  presents  the  more  difficult  task  ol 
understanding  and  gaining  the  confidence  of  these  Moslem  peojile 
whose  standards  and  (jreconceptions  are  so  different  than  oui- 
Christian  ones.  One  illustration  of  this  difference  says  Simpson  is 
that  "the  Moslem  hates  the  foreigner",  whereas  we  tend  to  think 
that  everyone  likes  foreigners  since  we  are  an  emigrant  nation 
ourselves. 

Viewing  the  wider  scope  and  inter-relation  of  the  world  situa- 
tion. Prof.  Simpson  emphasized  that  the  action  of  England  and 
F'rance  in  the  Suez  strengthened  Bussia's  position  in  Hungary  en- 
abling her  to  succeed  in  such  atrocities  since  at  the  same  time  the 
world's  attention  was  drawn  to  the  "Barbarism"  in  the  Suez. 

This  unfortimate  sequence  of  events  Prof.  Simpson  concluded 
is  a  "classic  example  of  poor  timing".

Cohit:  "Gun  Brothers" 


The  freshman,  certainly  one  of

many  years,  boasted  no  less  than 
four  men  who  were  undefeated  in 
dual  matches  and  also  were  New

Co-captains  Kuhrt  Wieneke  and 
Bob  Hatcher,  Bill  Loekwood  and

Larry  Pond  and  Brad  Smith  did 
not  lose  a  regular  season  match 
but  lost  in  the  New  Englands.

The  veteran  contingent  on  the 
squad  will  be  bolstered  by  the  re- 
turn of  Bob  Koster.  undefeated 
and  New  England  Champion  in 
his  junior  year,  after  a  year's  ab- 
sence. Koster  may  compete  at  157,

also  in  this  division.  Moore,  des-

The  heavyweight  class  has  three 
veterans  returning  in  Pete  Car- 
ney, Ted  Baumgardner  and  Gene 
Sullivan  along  with  Hatcher  and 
fellow-sophomore  Ted  Oppen- 
heimer.  Junior  John  Evans  will 
vie  with  Loekwood  at  123  while 
Wieneke  may  start  at  130.  An  in- 
jury may  slow  him  down  at  the 
start  but  the  former  Int«rscholas- 
tic  champion  from  Hill  should  be 
in  shape  soon.  Captain  McKee  and 
Pond  may  wrestle  at  137  with 
junior  Jim  Hutchinson  either  at 
this  weight  or  at  147  where 
sophomore  Harry  Bowdoin  is  in

The  Yale  squad  was  hurt  by 
graduation.  Although  its  first  four 
defensemen  have  returned,  the 
squad  lost  Its  star  goalie  and  its 
leading,  second,  and  fourth  scor- 
ers. As  a  result  the  team  should 
be  weaker  in  the  goal  and  up 
front,  but  should  be  protected  by 
a  very  strong  defense.  With  their 
Indoor  rink,  Yale  should  have  the 
edge  on  conditioning  and  the  fin- 
er points  of  the  game. 

Ephs  Scrimmage  A.  I.  C. 

In  preparation  for  Yale  the 
Ephs  scrimmaged  A.I.C.,  ranked 
tenth  in  the  East.  Williams  proved 
to  be  the  superior  t«am;  however, 
Ba.ssiloni.  A.I.C.'s  star  center  and 
one  of  the  East's  leading  scorers 
last  season,  did  not  play.  Coach 
McCormick  stated  that  he  was 
well  pleased  with  the  team.  He 
especially  lauded  the  defensive 
play. 

In  tonight's  contest  defensive 
units  Rick  Driscoll  and  John  Hol- 
man.  along  with  George  Welles 
and  Howie  Patterson,  will  shield 
goalie  Dick  Marr.  The  Ephs'  thiee 
lines  will  remain  unchanged  from 
the  first  few  days  of  practice, 
Dave  Cook,  Dave  Wood  and  Dick 
Lombard  compose  the  starting 
line.  Following  this  Junior  line  on 
the  ice  will  be  Seniors  Doug  Poole, 
Dick  Flood   and  Tony   Bradley.

Wednesday,  Dec.  5  -  If  the  old 
adage  'controlling  the  backboards 
means  controlling  play'  is  true 
tonight,  the  Eph  quintet  will  go 
down  to  one  of  its  worst  defeats 
in  many  years.  Lacking  experi- 
ence and  height,  the  Williams  var- 
sity ba.sketball  team  faces  Dart- 
mouth at  Hanover  tonight,  and  it 
would  look  as  though  the  hosts 
could  fairly  well  control  even  the 
final  score. 

Led  by  top  scorer  and  record 
breaker  Jim  Francis,  6-8.  Captain 
Ron  Jud.son.  6-7,  Forward  Tom 
Donahoe,  6-6.  guard  Gene  Booth 
and  sophomoie  Rudy  La  Russo, 
6-7,  the  Dartmouth  squad  will 
have  to  quote  the  New  York  Tri- 
bi  ne,  "size,  experience  and  court 
savvy".  Also,  many  of  the  seniors 
will  remember  two  years  ago  when 
the  NCAA  Williams  team  beat 
them  in  a  crowded,  noisy,  almost 
unplayable  Lasell  Gymnasium. 
Morton,  Willmott  Out 

To  add  to  the  woe  of  Coach  Al 
Shaw,  starting  guard  Pete  Will- 
mott will  see  no  action  due  to  an 
injury,  and  starting  center  Jeff 
Morton  may  not  be  able  to  play 
either.  Still  indefinite  about  the 
line-up  as  of  Monday  night,  Shaw 
said  that  the  probable  .starters 
would  be  Senior  John  Lewis  at 
one  forward  and  either  Bill  Hede- 
man  or  Phil  Brown,  both  sopho- 
mores at  the  other.  At  the  guards 
will  be  Bob  Parker  and  Marv 
Welnstein.  with  Ed  Hughes  in  re- 
serve. Center  is  the  big  problem, 
with  either  Ii'a  Kowal  or  Tom 
Longstreth  replacing  Morton. 


Townsend      To      Coach 
Williams     Ski     Addicts 


Sunday,  Dec.  2  -  Ralph 
Townsend,  coach  of  the  varsity 
and  freshman  skiing  teams  said 
today  that  the  varsity  will  be 
undergoing  a  "major  rebuild- 
ing job  this  year".  Although 
their  weak  point  will  be  jump- 
ing. Mr.  Townsend  said:  "I 
think  our  chances  have  been 
increased  due  to  the  excellent 
spirit  shown  by  the  boys."  Co- 
captains  Pete  Elbow  and  Hugh 
Clark  will  lead  the  team  in 
their  first  match,  a  pre-season 
meet,  at  Pranconia,  N.H.,  on 
December  15  and  16.

Loevy  Announces  Phi  Bete  Plans; 
Society  To  Hold  Panel  On  Freud 

November  28,  1950  -  Boh  Loevy  '57,  president  of  the  Wil- 
liams chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kanpa,  has  announced  the  society's 
plans  for  the  near  future,  which  include  a  meeting  on  Thursday 
and  probably  an  "Ideas,  Books  and  Men"  discussion  alter  Christ- 
mas. He  also  announced  the  election  of  Dick  Gihnau  'S'/  to  the 
post  of  secretary-treasurer.  Oilman,  a  member  of  Beta  Theta  Pi 
fraternity  and  a  political  science  major,  tlms  a.ssiunes  tlie  number 
two  office  in  the  society. 

The  coming  meeting  of  the  society  will  initiate  several  func- 
tional changes.  Guests  from  the  senior  class  and  the  faculty  will 
be  invited  for  the  first  time  to  the  Thursday  meeting.  This  will 
also  be  the  first  time  the  society  has  had  a  clinn<'r  meeting,  .\lter 
the  dinner,  which  will  be  held  in  Baxter  Hall,  the  group  will  ad- 
joiun  to  Mather  House  for  coffee  and  a  discussion. 

"Ideas,  Ikwks  mid  Men" 

The  "Ideas,  Books  and  Men"  discussions  are  the  main  literary 
activity  of  the  society.  These  discussions  are  led  by  two  faculty 
members  and  two  members  of  Phi  Beta  Kajjpa  and  center  around 
a  iiartieular  book's  contribution  to  "the  history  of  thought  and  in- 
tellectual progress."  Freud's  'I'hc  Interpretation  of  Dreams  will 
probably  be  the  book  discussed  at  the  January  meeting. 

Starting  with  the  Thursday  meeting,  informal  discussions,  led 
by  one  faculty  member  and  one  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  will  be  inter- 

ced  between  the  more  formal  "Ideas,  Books  and  Men"  discus-

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a  group  of  cats  who  really 
went  far  out  on  a  one  way  excvu-sion  canoe  called  the 
Mayflower.  Now  they  were  a  mighty  cool  combo,  but  they 
had  to  go  on  tour  because  a  square  from  Goonville  who 
billed  himaelf  as  King  James  I  gave  them  the  heel  and 
they  had  to  cut  out  on  merry  old  England. 

Anyway,  they  finally  got  a  booking  on  the  New  World 
circviit  in  a  spot  called  Virginia,  named  in  honor  of  Eliz> 
abeth  I  for  some  reason  or  other. 

This  particular  day  some  of  the  boys  wore  cooling  it  on 
deck,  quaffing  a  few  tankards  of  brew  when  it  was  John 
Alden's  turn  to  go  for  refills. 

When  he  got  below  none  other  than  a  screen-tester  named 
Priscilla  Mullins  was  running  the  spigot. 

"Make  with  the  suds  for  Myles  Standish,"  says  John. 

"I'll  clue  you,  Dad,"  says  Priscilla.  "There's  exactly  ona 
tankard  left.  Speak  for  yourself,  John." 

They  split  the  tankard  and  John  returned  topside. 

"Sires,  I  wish  to  report  the  beer  is  gone." 


"Nutty,   man!" 


Give  us  another  chorus  on  it!" 

"But,  you  don't  dig  me,  Sires"  said  J.  A.,  "the  barrels 
are  empty.  This  bit  is  overt" 

"ViUAT?"  shouted  the  elders.  "OUR  BEER  IS  BUST'l 
Turn  this  raft  around  and  make  it  to  Plymouth  Rock. 
We're  cuttin'  out  on  this  date  as  of  nowl"

Specifically.  Harsch  discussed 
the  crises  of  Suez.  Hungaiy.  and 
llie  decline  of  Ani,"lo-American  re- 
l.itions.  He  asserted  that  this  lat- 
Icr  crisis  is  the  most  significant 
for  the  United  States  but  that  all 
three  of  the  crises  were  manifes- 
tations of  developing  piocesses 
which  the  United  States  had  at- 
tempted to  ignore  while  enjoying 
our  "idyllic  respite  from  the 
strain  and  tension"  of  internal 
and  external  strife. 

Britain.  U.S.  Differ  on  Suez 
Harsch  reviewed  tlie  background 
of  the  Suez  situation  in  an  at- 
tempt to  show  that  "there  were 
rights  and  wrongs  on  both  sides". 
Moreover,  the  United  States 
should  not  assume  a  position  of 
moi'al  superiority  since  positive 
American  aid,  a  result  of  a  sense 
of  guilt  over  the  plight  of  Jewish 
refugees,  preserved  the  existence 
of  Lsrael  and  contributed  to  the 
outbi-eak  of  hostilities  as  a  result. 
A  more  important  insight,  how- 
ever, than  the  lack  of  guilt  of  one 
party  in  the  Near  East  dispute, 
was  the  lack  of  coordination  and 
understanding  between  the  United 
States  and  Britain.  Har.sch  de- 
clared that  United  States'  offi- 
cials, dominated  by  a  desire  to 
prevent  the  recognition  of  a  trou- 
bled situation  and.  thereby,  des- 
troy our  sense  of  idyllic  compla- 
cency, failed  to  recognize  the  ex- 
tent to  which  Britain  was  deter- 
mined to  act  in  order  to  retain 
control  of  the  canal.  Furthermore, 
the  United  States,  after  Britain 
had  sent  forces  into  Suez,  con- 
tinued to  demonstrate  outrage 
over  Britain's  act  of  disturbing  our 
peaceful    respite    by    refusing    to

Main  Allcmlion 

Uiider  the  Discipline  Committee's  proposal,  a  special  Faculty- 
Student  committee  would  determine  which  actions  woidd  be  per- 
inissible  and  which  would  be  prohibited  during  Hell  Week.  The 
Social  Council's  comiter-proposal  would  lea\e  this  choice  strictly

In  other  provisos  of  the  S(;'s  ])roposal,  illegal  hazing  was  de- 
liiied  as  any  actix  itv  which  could  result  in  personal  injury  or  pub- 
lic indignation,  ;dl  hazing  would  be  limited  to  within  the  confines 
ol  the  houses  and  to  only  the  last  three  days  before  initiation  and

lite  Intervenes 

It  was  only  last  week,  according 
to  Harsch.  when  Ei-senhower.  sup- 
porting a  revolt  on  the  part  of 
professional  State  Department 
officials  agaiast  "political"  offi- 
cers, succeeded  in  restoring  some 
Anglo-American  cooperation  by 
personally  assuring  Britain  of 
United  States'  aid,  thus  revei'sing 
a  policy  which  "threatened  to 
strangle  Britain  economically". 
Despite  this  diplomatic  reap- 
proachment,  Harsch  cited  the  dif- 
ficulty of  having  close  future  pol- 
icy coordination  between  Britain 
and  the  United  States  due  to  the 
mutual  distrust  and  suspicion  of 
Dulles  and  Eden. 

Harsch  argued  that  with  respect 
to  Soviet  action  in  Hungary  it  is 
not  sufficient  to  condemn  Rus- 
sian policy  as  morally  reprehen- 
sible since  .such  an  explanation 
neglects  an  awareness  of  the  pat- 
tern of  power  which  still  domi- 
nates Europe.  The  Russians 
simply  would  not  tolerate  dislo- 
cation of  their  grip  on  territory

Sophomores  To  Lead 
Ephs  At  Schenectady 

By   Cliet   lAsell 

Saturday.  Dec.  8  -  The  poten- 
tially strong  Williams  swimming 
team  will  inaugurate  a  new  sea- 
son this  afternoon  against  Ray 
Mullane's  veteran  Union  squad  at 
Schenectady,  N.Y.  The  Ephs  will 
depend  on  a  wealth  of  tine  sopho- 
more talent  in  their  attempt  to 
keep  Williams'  enviable  record  of 
never  having  lost  to  Union  intact. 
This  will  be  the  20th  meet  be- 
tween the  two  schools  since  1923 
with  the  Purple  winning  18  and 
tying  1  without  a  defeat. 

Coach  MuUane  has  lost  only 
four  starters  from  his  1955-56 
squad,  which,  he  declared  last 
year,  had  more  depth  and  balance 
than  any  he  had  coached  at  Un- 
ion. Returning  are  distance  men 
Paul  Belus.  Martin  Cohen  and  Bill 
Harvard  along  with  .sprinters 
George  Trask  and  Bill  Waln- 
wright.  Both  divers  are  back  In 
Gary  Ollmore  and  Charlie  Ro- 
berts. Mark  Hoffer,  Ed  Mlshkin 
and  Berny  Berkowltz  are  return-

Wednesday,  Dec.  5  -  A  well- 
balanced  Yale  Hockey  team  scor- 
ed three  goals  within  five  minutes 
in  the  third  period  tonight  to  rout 
a  less  poised  Williams  sextet.  7-2. 
before  six  hundred  fans  at  the 
New  Haven  Arena.  The  Ephmen 
hustled  throughout  the  game,  but 
except  for  the  first  ten  minutes 
of  the  of)enlng  period.  It  was  all 
Yale.  The  Williams  lines  lacked 
team  work  and  pass  plays  despite 
their  hustle,  while  Yale  moved  the 
puck  in  the  sure,  confident  man- 
ner which  made  the  difference  to- 
night. 

Yale  Opens  Scoring 

For  the  first  ten  minutes  the 
Williams  squad  pressed,  but  when 
Jim  Brady  scored  for  the  Ells  at 
11:01.  the  visitors  never  seemed 
to  get  going  again.  The  remain- 
der of  the  period  saw  the  action 
in  front  of  the  Purple  nets,  and 
Lefty  Marr,  with  a  couple  of  beau- 
tiful saves,  held  the  score  to  1-0 
as  the  period  ended.  Even  at  this

Williams  Defeats 
Toronto  Debaters 


Canadians  Oppose  Policy 
Of  Direct  Foreign  Aid 


Bedlam  broke  loose  last  Wed- 
nesday night  in  Griffin  Hall  when 
the  Toronto  University  debating 
squad  cho.se  to  match  wits  rather 
than  facts  with  Williams.  The  af- 
firmative Canadian  team  argued 
that  the  U.S.  should  discontinue 
direct  economic  aid  to  foreign 
countries.  Charlie  Gilchrist  and 
Tom  Kellogg  quickly  adapted  then- 
negative  case  to  the  EngUsh  de- 
bating technique. 

Alec  Haverlant.  the  first  affir- 
mative speaker,  claimed  the  pre- 
sent system  of  direct  economic  aid 
had  failed.  Holding  the  lapels  of 
his  suit,  he  confidently  stated  the 
affirmative  had  "a  bold  plan  for 
a  brave  new  world". 

Aid    Defended 

Gilchrist  defended  the  success 
of  direct  aid  with  numerous  quo- 
tations and  facts.  He  pointed  out 
the  necessity  of  continuing  the 
policy  in  view  of  world  conditions. 
The  second  affirmative  speaker 
accused  Gilchrist  of  "obscuring 
the  issue  with  facts". 

The  bold  affhmative  plan  turn-

Hold  Conference 


Gardner  Heads  Student 
Government  Discussion 


Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  For  the  first 
time  in  a  number  of  years  rep- 
resentatives of  the  Student  Gov- 
ernments of  small  Eastern  col- 
leges have  met  to  discuss  their 
common  problems.  Men  from  the 
Student  Governments  of  Dart- 
mouth, Bowdoin,  Wesleyan,  Am- 
herst and  Williams  comprise  the 
Pentagonal  Conference  meeting 
today  and  tomorrow  in  Williams- 
town  under  the  chairmanship  of 
Dee  Gardner  '57,  President  of  the 
Williams  College  Council. 

The  object  of  this  conference  is 
"to  discuss  topics  common  to  each 
school  and  to  derive  a  mutual 
benefit  from  the  exchange  of 
ideas"  reports  Gardner,  who  a- 
long  with  other  members  of  the 
College  Council  were  instrumental 
in  organizing  the  meeting.  "The 
fact  that  we  all  have  similar  in- 
stitutions and  traditions  should 
prove  mutually  beneficial  in  solv- 
ing problems."  he  went  on  to  say. 

Total  Opportunity  on  Agenda 

Among  the  topics  scheduled  for 
discussion  appear  such  things  fa- 
miliar to  Williams  as  the  Chapel 
system  and  the  possibility  of  an 
all  college  meeting  in  connection 
with  Chapel  at  various  times  dur- 
ing the  year,  the  pragmatic  as- 
pect of  student  government  and 
total  opportunity  in  the  frater- 
nity system.  Three  discussion  ses- 
sions and  a  dinner  meeting  make 
up  the  program  of  this  two  day 
conference,  and  use  will  be  made 
of  the  newly  constructed  Mather 
House  for  some  of  the  sessions. 

Conferences  of  this  type  have 
been  held  in  years  past,  and  two 
years  ago  a  similar  but  smaller 
meeting  was  held  at  Amherst  call- 
ed the  Little  Three  Conference  of 
Student  Governments.  Chairman 
Gardner  says  of  the  other  schools 
that  "they've  all  reacted  with 
great  interest",  and  he  expects  to 
have  fourteen  or  more  campus 
leaders  meeting  Williamstown  to- 
day. In  regard  to  the  future.  Gard- 
ner feels  strongly  that  such  a 
conference  should  be  "perpetuat- 
ed" as  a  valuable  functional 
group. 


shamed,  unadulterated  isolation-

tive debater  proposed  that  ideo- 
logical warfare  is  the  key  to  open 
the  Asian  mind.  The  U.S.  should 
forget  about  her  allies  and  con-

tem, he  added.

Williams  College  hosts  today  a  grou])  of  150  students  from 
neighboring  New  England  schools,  o\er  half  of  the  visitors  mem- 
bers ol  the  opposite  se.x.  Representing  a  number  of  religions  and 
denominations,  they  aie  delegates  to  the  final  coiifcrence  of  die

Phi  Delt  Suspension 
From  National  Ends 


Constitutional  Alteration 
Prompts    Reinstatement 


Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  Phi  Delta 
Tlieta's  initiation  ceremonies  last 
weekend  marked  the  re-entrance 
of  the  house  into  the  national  af- 
ter a  four  year  absence.  Of  the 
current  members  of  Phi  Delt  only 
President  William  E.  Gould  had 
been  an  initiated  member  of  the 
national. 

The  Williams  chapter  had  been 
suspended  for  four  years  for 
pledging  a  Jewish  student  in  1952. 
This  was  in  violation  of  the  so- 
called  "Aryan  Clause"  limiting 
membership  to  white  "Aryans". 
This  clause  has  since  been  drop- 
ped and  a  new  clause  substituted 
specifies  that  "men  acceptable  to 
other  chapters  (are>  eligible  for 
membership".  During  the  tour 
year  suspension  the  house  existed 
as  "the  order  of  Phi  Delta",  a  lo- 
cal house.

Following  the  major  addresses, 
seminars  will  be  held,  each  cov- 
ering topics  relevant  to  the  pre- 
ceding speech.  Tliese  seminars  will 
be  led  by  members  of  the  group  of 
thirty  chaplains  from  the  colleges 
represented,  delegates  themselves, 
or  members  of  the  PARS  group. 
Many  of  these  students,  associated 
with  the  Program  for  Advanced 
Religious  Study  of  the  Union  The- 
ological seminary,  have  left  homes 
in  South  Africa,  India,  Scandina- 
via, and  Britain  to  study  in  this 
country.  Later  in  the  program  this

Near  Capacity  Crowd  Fills  Chapin  Hall 
To  Hear  Budapest   String  Quartet; 
Group  Plays  Beethoven,  Bartok,  Schubert 

A  near  capicity  crowd  iii  Cha]iin  Hall  heard  a  superb  con- 
cert by  the  Budajiest  Stiing  Quartet,  piobably  the  finest  group  of 
its  kind  in  the  world.  The  large,  leceptiyc  audience  was  a  grati- 
fying sight,  but  student  attendance,  while  better  than  average, 
was  a  jialtrN'  offering  at  best.  It  seems  incredible  that  a  free  con- 
cert of  this  calibre  shoiild  find  empty  seats  in  the  auditoriiun. 

The  prograin  was  com]irised  of  Heethovcn,  Bartok  and  Schu- 
bert in  that  order.  This  fine  (liogram  was  more  than  matched  by 
the  sn))erb  perfoiniance.  the  likes  of  which  aic  not  often  heard, 
although  we  ha\e  come  to  expect  such  from  this  group. 

The  Beetho\en  was  a  really  fine  demonstration  of  first  rate 
musicianshi)!.  particidarlv  the  second  movement.  Tlie  group  show- 
ed great  sensiti\  itv  to  not  only  the  melodic  and  harmonic  nuances, 
but  to  the  complex  contrajwntal  implications  of  the  inii.sic,  so  es- 
sential to  the  fidl  reali/.atioii  of  the  later  works  of  Beethoven. 

Tlie  Bartok  was  jierhaps  the  inost  carefully  WTOught  perform- 
ance 1  have  heard  in  tpiite  some  time.  Here  again,  die  group  show- 
ed both  respect  for  and  understanding  of  the  work.  I  was  es- 
pecially giatl  to  find  the  Bartok  on  the  program,  for  we  hear  so 
little  contemporary  music  on  todays  programs,  especially  woiks 
of  this  high  calibre.  If  music  is  to  remain  a  vital  and  significant 
art  in  the  20th  eenturv.  the  contemporary  output  must  be  per- 
formed more  often. 

While  die  Schubert  came  as  a  bit  of  an  anti-climax,  the  per- 
formance on  die  whole  was  (luife  fine.  And  in  the  breaking  of 
normal  practice  of  this  group,  an  encore  was  played:  a  movement 
from  the  Mendels.sohn  G  minor  (|uartet.  Opus  39;  a  delightfully 
humorous  end  to  a  truly  fine  evening  of  music.

The  Williams  Community 

The  passing  of  "Hell  Week"  is  ii  iiro])er  occasion  for  two  im- 
dertakiiiijs.  First  of  all,  we  should  try  to  ])ersiiade  diose  who  have 
iiiitialK-  accepted  the  decision  with  misifix  inij;s  that  the  abolition  of 
this  institution  is  jrieatlv  justified.  We  are  confident  that  with  dis- 
cnssion,  fhont^htfiilness  ami  time  thev  will  become  con\ineed  of 
this.  We  onl\  ask  those  who  feel  stronj^ly  that  the  recent  actions 
of  our  slndent-facnltv  representatives  were  nnjustified  to  give  the 
issne  closer  consideration. 

Secondly,  the  passing  of  "Hell  Week"  is  a  good  tiine  for  a  re- 
examination of  the  relationship  of  fraternities  to  the  college.  This 
is  an  issue  that  has  caused  a  great  amount  of  needless  controversy 
and  confusion.  l""ratcniities  cannot  hope  to  di\'orce  themselves 
from  the  college  conimnnity  of  which  they  are  a  iiart.  .\linnni. 
students,  facidtv,  members  of  the  administration  and  trnstees  and 
various  groups  of  these  individuals  are  all  segments  of  the  Wil- 
liams commuiiitv.  It  shoidd  be  the  purpose  of  all  these  individuals 
and  groups  to  stri\e  for  the  betterment  of  the  college  as  a  whole. 
The  fulfilling  of  this  goal  may  often  re(|iiire  ON'erconiing  pre- 
judices and  short-sightedness. 

Fraternities  play  a  significarit  role  at  Williams  today  as  thev 
have  in  the  jiast;  therefore,  they  ha\e  a  great  responsibility  to 
serve  the  Williams  eonimimity.  The  fraternity  system  and  the  life 
of  the  nndergradnatc  at  Williams  has  changed  to  an  extent  nexer 
dreamed  of  by  the  earlier  \Villianis  men.  The  present  setu]i  of 
fraternities  and  the  present  life  of  the  undergraduate  cannot  be 
considered  final;  rather  there  must  always  be  energy  to  change 
when  these  iniiirovcments  can  be  made.  To  bring  about  improxe- 
ment  xve  need  an  affirmatixe  attitude  towards  change  rather  than 
an  attitude  of  constantly  clinging  to  the  status  ciuo.  Tlie  reason 
why  change  is  so  fre(|nently  feared  is  that  it  is  difficult  to  envi- 
sion a  new  order. 

The  move  to  eliminate  the  negative  aspects  of  "Hell  Week" 
is  a  change  and  it  is  one  that  is  necessary  for  the  betterment  of 
the  college  commmiity  and  the  fraternity  system  itself.  It  was  not 
a  niox'e  iierjietrated  by  members  of  the  administration  as  a  first 
step  in  a  nioxement  to  abolish  fraternities.  In  actuality,  the  motion 
was  placed  by  a  student  and  supported  by  an  overwhelming  ma- 
jority of  the  students  on  the  Discipline  Committee  and  strongly 
supported  by  the  College  Council. 

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

Tlie  Student  Discipline  Committee  wishes  to  clarify  certain 
misinterpretations  of  the  recommendation  in  regard  to  liazing  as 
it  was  made  liy  the  Student-Faculty  Discipline  Committee; 

1 )  The  recommendation  was  a  result  NOT  of  any  single,  par- 
ticular incident  but  of  an  increasingly  prevalent  violation  of  rea- 
sonable and  mature  conduct. 

2)  The  recommendation  is  NOT  intended  to  "abolish"  ALL 
pre-initiation  activities.  The  values  of  pledge  class  unity  achieved 
through  constructive  xvork  programs  and  the  values  of  mature, 
constructive  criticism  of  jiledges  were  recognized  and  are  NOT 
recommended  to  be  discontinued. 

3)  The  recoinmendation  is  not  intended  to  impair  a  house's 
power  of  command  ovei-  its  pledges  except  where  trie  use  of  this 
power  is  in  violation  of  reasonable  and  mature  conduct. 

We  feel  that  the  recomiriendation  made  witli  the  faculty 
members  of  the  Disci]iline  Committee  will  be  of  jjositivc  value  to 
the  fraternity  system  as  it  xvill  help  eliminate  incidents  of  unfor- 
tunate nature.

Recently  an  article  in  the  New  York  Herald  Tribune  reported 
that  3300  refugees  had  poured  into  .Austria  from  neighboring 
Hungary  in  a  single  day.  This  brought  the  total  of  refugees  who 
had  crowded  into  that  comitry  since  the  beginning  of  the  atiti-Red 
revolt  to  well  over  1(K),(X)0.  From  all  reports  the  miniber  i.s  still 
rising. 

Gruesome  pictures  in  U.S.  magazines  have  brought  home  to 
Americans  the  horror  and  brvitality  of  the  revolt  and  its  suppres 
sion.  The  United  Slates  has  responded  strongly  to  the  fight  for 
liberty  of  the  Hungarian  patriots;  it  has  eonclemned  Russia,  pro- 
vided for  the  rapid  entry  of  a  minimum  of  .5(KX)  refugees  into 
this  country,  and  .sent  relief  to  the  refugees  in  Austria.  This  has 
all  been  done  quickly,  while  the  memory  of  the  Hungarians'  gal- 
lant struggle  for  freedom  is  still  fresh  in  everyone's  mind. 

Tlie  danger  now  is  that  with  the  revolution  all  but  quelled, 
Americans  wul  forget  that  they  still  have  a  duty  in  this  matter. 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

In  a  considered  decision,  the  joint  student-faculty  judiciary 
body  placed  a  member  of  the  class  of  (iO  uuck'r  ;i  Ixvo-week  sus- 
pension, and  campused  him  for  the  remainder  ol  tlii'  ve;u. 

The  suspension  is,  1  believe,  a  juslifi.ible  punishnu'ut.  The 
c;iinpusing,  hoxvever,  1  consider  unfair,  unwise,  and  uuneiess:u v. 
The  great  and  xirtuons  .Mikado  himself  could  uol  have  blundered 
more  in  making  "the  pnnishment  fit  the  crime".  In  this  sense  the 
decision  xvas  inei|uitable. 

The  opinion  was  iniwise  because  it  xvas  unju.st;  unxvise  becanst' 
of  the  moral  and  intellectual  repercussions  inflicted  upon  any  man 
confined  xvinter,  spring,  and  summer  in  a  dormant,  isolated  town 
or  an  exeii  smaller  area. 

The  opinion  was  imnecessarv  because  it  xviis  uiilair  and  un- 
just; unnecessary  because  tlu'  txx'o-week  suspension  eert;unl\'  is 
sufficient  ]nini.sliment  for  the  particular  ollense. 

It  is  argued  that  the  incidt'iit  justified  the  punishment  be- 
cause of  the  conse(|uences  it  mif^hl  haxc  ent;iiled.  In  this  xxiiy  the 
judges  ])yramided  iancied  conse(|uences  —  none  ol  xvhich  oeeuied 
—  upon  the  original  offense.  \  simihir  pyramid,  to  exaggerate 
slightly,  might  riin  dins:  .\  student  bumps  into  a  s(r;mger  on  Spring 
Street,  the  stranger  is  a  visiting  Hussi:m,  hi'  is  insulted.  ;uid  the 
Russians  bomb  the  United  States.  Should  Hie  student  be  e;unpnsetl 
because  he  bumped  into  die  stranger?  Even  if  he  delibi'mtely 
l)um]H'd  into  the  stranger? 

Courts  are  niatle  to  dispense  e(|uity.  In  this  case  they  did  not. 
\n  exi'u  more  careful  rexiew  of  the  case  is  necessary.

The  front  pages  of  the  ue\xsp;ipers  xxill  be  croxvded  witli  other 
more  timely  items  than  the  plight  of  the  refugees  during  the  com- 
ing xvinter;  jieople  xvill  get  caught  up  in  the  Christinas  rush  and 
lose  sight  of  the  Hungarians  among  tiie  xvrapping  p;iper  and  rib- 
bons. 

Williams  (College  has  a  fairly  uni(|ue  opportunity  to  do  some- 
thing about  this  situation.  .Ml  oxer  tiie  couiitrx'  oilier  colleges  and 
unixersities  liaxe  already  shot  their  xv;id:  llarxard  sponsored  a 
ipeech  by  a  refugee  xx'lio  had  esc;iped  from  llnugarv  13  d;i\s  be- 
fore and,  in  a  campaign  completed  Nov.  21.  collected  S21()()  for 
Hungarian  relief.  The  same  refugee,  Istvan  Laszlo  (a  former 
commander  of  .'30()0  student  rebels)  spoke  at  MIT  to  a  gre;it  rally. 
Yale.  U  Conn,  Princeton,  Weslevan  and  iiiaiix'  others  liaxe  held 
allies,  fund  drixes  and  clothing  drixcs  for  the  Hungarians. 

Where  has  Williams  bi'cn  in  this  orgy  of  enthnsiasin.  patrio- 
tism and  generosity?  From  all  indications  this  college  of  gentle- 
men has  carefully  refrained  from  any  unruly  or  uuseemly  gather- 
ings or  from  the  indignitx'  of  solicitation.  True,  part  of  the  Chest 
I'und  total  is  going  to  the  refugees,  but  even  here  xx'e  failed  to 
meet  the  (piota.  On  page  4  is  an  article  smnmari/ing  the  ;ictixities 
of  Buxton  School,  xvliose  40  students  collected  .$I2(X)  for  relief.  In 
response  Williams  can  point  to  ;i  few  sporadic  and  individu;il  ef- 
forts —  The  DU  house  has  sent  a  letter  to  Camp  Kilmer  offering 
to  provide  a  home  and  job  for  a  refugee  familx'  in  \\'illi;unstoxvn.

But  die  xast  uiajoritv  of  the  college  has  done  laithing  except

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

It  gave  me  an  unnsmd  joy  iind  e\iileineiit  to  read  Daye  Skall's 
article  about  Abdul  \\'oh;il)e's  opinion  ol  tl»'  small  U.S.  collci.,.. 
Being  ;i  hireign  student  mx'self,  I  beliexc  that  it  is  not  entirely 
luixx'orthwhile  for  me  to  express  my  i)erson;il  feelings  on  the  mai- 
ler biought  up  in  the  aitichs  namely  the  small  U.S.  college. 

With  my  past  experience  of  attending  Seoul  National  llni- 
xcisity  (Korea)  which  has  such  large  enrollment  as  many  of  {]„■ 
st;ite  nniveisilies  in  Americ;i,  il  is  cerl;uulv  more  tlum  ;i  feeliir. 
that  t  have  about  the  sni;illness  of  Willi;mis.  11  is  not  really  luu 
much  to  s;iy  lli;il  I  bi'liexc  no  longer  in  ;uiy  of  the  schools  xvill. 
such  larg<'  emolluient.  .\imiug  ;il  the  ediuatiou  ol  man,  not  ., 
thinking  ni;icliine,  the  college  must  uol  be  ii  "brain  hiclory'  whicli 
is  iinforlunately  tlie  c;ise  in  nniiix'  institutions,  il  not  the  most. 

However,  I  am  afraiil  th;il  I  e:in  be  justified  lo  say  that  tin 
is  the  lime  xve  musi  think  more  ihoroughlv  ;iiid  find  out  xvliat  tl, 
real  sitiuilion  is.  We  beliexe  in  the  sin;ill  college,  not  merely  hi 
cause  it  prox  ides  us  with  more  oppoiliiiiilies  lor  peisoiuil  eontait 
as  il  go;il,  but  bec;iuse  il  is  the  iiisliliilioii  xvhere  excry  one  can  K. 
himself   Ihrough   Ihi'se    inliuiiile   personal    ickitioiis.    Keeping   lln, 
primary  purjiose  of  Ihe  sin;ill  college  in  mind,   I   h;ixi'  lo  eonh-^ 
lluil  there  is  a  thing  xvbieli  disturbs  me  more  than  ;inylhing  cK. 
That  is  the  danger  -  ambiguous  but   negligible  by  no  means 
xyhich  one  can  seeni   xvilhoul   uineli   <liflieull\.  The  danger  is  nl 
course  the  philosophy   xxhieh   makes   it   xcrv   diffieull,   if  not   ini 
possible,  lo  see  more  indix  idu:ils.  It  is  xviirned  here  that  it  does  ni.l 
imply  IIkiI  every  one  has  this  philosophy.  The  truth  is  i;itlier  xcr. 
hojjeful.  The  danger  is  a  d;ing<'i   beciUise  il  is  not  yel  aeluiilizeil 
When  it  is  actualized,  it  is  a  different  story. 

It  is  my  sincere  hope  lh;it  no  friend  xvill  misinlerpicl  xvhiit  i 
e.xiiressed.  I  do  this,  because  I  do  beliexc  Willi;nns  is  ;in  ideii

challenge  lo  the  historic;il  crisis  we  face  today,  Uiiiiiely  the  dc- 
humanizalion  of  our  entire  eixilization.  This  mnsi  ;uid  can  be  dc 
tied  by  the  small  U.S.  college  on  Berkshire  hill.  This  is  xvliv  1 
dare  say  Iheie  is  ;i  d;mg<'r  of  coufoiniilv  of  p;itleruized  persoiiiililx 
xvhich  xve  should  not  overlook. 

It  is  uol  only  my  hope,  bnl  also  the  hope  ol  in;inv  well-iiilenil

the  same  way.  with  Yale  adding

a  commanding,  but  still  respec- 
table 3-0  lead.  A  quick  Yale  goal

Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  Amonj;  the  many  p<«t  season  basketball 
tonrnaments  each  year  is  the  N.A.i.A.  small  collcf^e  toiirnanicnt 
which  is  held  in  Kansas  City  c-arly  in  March.  This  tomiiamciit 
includes  thirty-two  small  schools  chosen  from  N..\.I.A.  members 
tlir(>iijj;lioiit  the  country  and  the  tournament  this  spring  will  l)i^  the 
17th  animal  one.  'I'he  National  .Association  of  Intercollegiate  Ath- 
letics (.N'.MA)  is  an  orj^ani/ation  of  small  schools,  mostly  teacher's 
collcf^es,  which  sponsors  this  tournament.  It  is  a  rival  of  the  Na- 
tional Collegiate  Athletic  Association  (NCAA),  which  is  a  larf^e 
organi/ation  embracinf^  most  of  the  collcf^es  and  universities 
throughout  the  country. 

Williams  is  a  memlier  of  the  N.C.C.A.,  but  not  of  the  N.A.I.A., 
and  therchirc  the  Williams  basketball  team  is  not  eligible  for  the 
small  collcf^c  tournament  held  in  Kansas  City,  but  is  clij^iblc  for 
the  N.C.C.A.  toiirnaineiit.  In  a  RECORD  interview,  Williams 
athletic  director  h'ranky  Thoms  stated  that  Williams  is  not  in- 
terested in  joininj;  the  N..\.I.A.,  because  there  would  be  no  real 
benefit  from  a  mcnib;aship  in  that  organization.  The  organization 
has  onlv  a  few  members  among  the  New  England  colleges,  and 
there  appears  to  be-  little  interest  among  the  N.C.C.A.  small  col- 
leges in  joining.  .VIC  is  the  only  prominent  local  .school  ' 

.Mr.  Thoms  also  re\'ealed  that  the  incentive'  to  join  in  order 
to  participate  in  the  basketball  toiirnameiit  is  reino\cd  by  the 
prospect  of  playing  in  the  NC.\.\  tournament,  which  will  be  con- 
ducted on  a  new  basis  this  season.  Starting  this  spring,  the  NCAA 
tournament  will  be  di\  ided  into  two  separate  tournaments,  one 
for  universities  and  one  for  colleges.  This  will  permit  more  schools 
to  participate  in  \\\v  touriiainent  and  will  allow  the  colleges  to  com- 
pete against  schools  of  their  own  size,  rather  than  against  univer- 
sities with  several  time's  the  eurollinent  of  a  college.  This  gives 
the  small  colleges  a  niocli  better  chance  of  doing  well  in  the  tour- 
nament and  the  general  feeling  seems  to  be  that  this  N(;.\.'\  spon- 
sored college  tournament  will  socni  overshadow  the  NAI.A  allair. 

When  asked  to  comment  on  how  tlic>  great  Williams  team  of 
.54-5.5,  which  went  to  the  NC.\.-\  tournament,  might  have  done  in 
the  N.\l.\  tournament  of  that  year,  Williams  baskediall  coach  Al 
Shaw  said  that  such  a  S])eculati<)n  would  be  entirely  witliout  basis 
ancl  was  impossible  to  makc>.  He  did  point  out.  however,  that  some 
of  the  small  college  teams  in  the  N.\1A  are  ecpially  as  good  as  some 
of  the  top  iNCA.'V  cpiintcts  and  therefore  the  N.MA  tournament 
would  not  be  any  easy  triumph  for  even  the  best  NCAA  college 
teams. 

Cross  Country y  Soccer  Teams  Pick 
Captains  For  1951  Fall  Seasons 

hij  Jim  Rohiuson 
Saturday.  Dec.  8  -  M  the  soccer  and  cross  country  banquets, 
jim  Hutchinson  and  Rich  Lombard  were  named  as  co-captains  of 
next  years  bootcMS  while  Bill  Fo,\,  Steve  (Carroll,  and  Dick  Clokev 
were  selected  to  lead  the  19.57  harricMs.  The  football  cajitain  will 
be  named  at  a  bancpict  ne.\t  week. 

The  two  soccer  leaders  will  suc- 
ceed Bill  Scoble  and  Howie  Pat- 
terson who  led  this  year's  squad. 
Hutchinson  played  left  halfback 
this  year  and  was  a  key  figure  in 
many  of  the  Eph  triumphs.  En- 
durance was  his  outstanding  qual- 
ity as  he  often  played  without 
substitution.  Lombard  was  the 
right  halfback  on  this  year's  start- 
ing eleven  and  was  a  hustler 
throughout  the  year. 

Fox  is  Co-Captain  for  the  sec- 
ond consecutive  season.  The  other 
two  members  of  the  triumvii'ate 
replace  Jim  Hecker. 


"Shaady,  you're  quacking  up",  snorted  his  girl  friend.  "Your  appearance  is

right  down  to  the  store  and  pecked  up  a  bottle.  Now  he's  the  sharpest 

duck  in  school  because  his  hair  looks  handsome  and 

healthy  .  .  .  neat  but  never  greasy.  When  last  seen  he 

was  sipping  a  chocolate   moulted  with   the  prettiest 

chick  on  campus  (  .  . .  and  she  caught  the  bill !  )  So  if 

the  gals  are  giving  you  the  bird,  better  get  some

Professor  Hastings  M4  To  Teach 
Two  Months  At  Salsburg  Seminar 


Subjects  Involve  Study 
Of  American  Problems 
In  Political  Behaviors 


Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  Philip  K. 
Hastings,  assistant  professor  of 
psyclioiogy  leaves  Williamtown  at 
the  beginning  of  Christmas  vaca- 
tion to  teach  in  Austria  at  the 
Salsburg  Seminar  in  American 
Studies.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hastings 
will  return  In  February. 

Hastings'  classes  will  be  taught 
in  the  interim  by  Professor  How- 
ard P.  Smith  of  Beimington  and 
Political  Science  Professor  J.  M. 
Burns,  now  on  leave  from  the  de- 
partment. Professor  Burns  taught 
at  the  seminar  in  1953.  Estab- 
lished after  the  second  world  war, 
the  Salsburg  Seminar  is  an  ad- 
vanced school  in  the  culture,  in- 
stitutions and  history  of  the  Uni- 
ted States  for  Western  European 
and  British  scholars. 

American  Political  Behavior  and 
Special  Problems  in  the  Study  of 
American  Voting  Behavior  are  the 
subjects  Hastings  will  teach.  With 
the  aid  of  a  grant  from  the  Ford 
Foundation,  Hastings  has  this 
year  directed  the  Pittsfield  Pro- 
ject, a  study  begun  here  in  1952. 
The  Salsburg  faculty  will  be  com- 
posed of  American  professors  in- 
cluding Mr.  Chandler  Morse  of 
Cornell  University,  an  associate 
professor  of  economics  at  Wil- 
liams during  1947-50. 

A  native  of  Worcester,  Hastings 
attended  North  Higli  School  and 
Wilhams,  graduating  in  1944.  Be- 
fore entering  the  Navy  for  two 
years,  he  was  at  Yale  Divinity 
School.  After  a  year  at  Williams, 
he  obtained  his  PhD.  at  Prince- 
ton University  where  he  taught 
for  a  year.  He  has  been  a  member 
of  the  Psychology  Department 
since  1951.

he  stated,  in  that  the  great  em-

Christians  going  to  foreign  coun-

foreigners  are  being  sent  to  this 
country  for  religious  and  secular 
studies,  and  return  home  to  be-

emphasized  that  the  affirmative 
could  strengthen  U.S.  defense  and 
carry  on  ideological  warfare  while 
still  continuing  to  give  direct  ec-

The  rebuttal  speeches  were  a 
muddle  of  charges  and  counter- 
charges which  kept  the  audience

The  judge,  Mr.  Rohr,  voted  the

Chairman  Tom  Synnot  concluded 
the  program  with  the  observa-

support  rather  than  for  illumina- 
tion.

Buxton  School  Raises 
$1,200  For  CARE 


Students,  Faculty  Make 
Door-To-Door    Canvass 


Saturday.  Dec.  8  -  After  a 
twelve-hour  door-to-door  canvass 
of  every  house  in  Williamstown 
last  Monday,  the  40  students  and 
10  faculty  members  of  Buxton 
School — a  co-educational  secon- 
dary school  on  South  Street — rais- 
ed $1260  for  CARE'S  Hungarian 
Relief  Drive. 

CARE  set  a  goal  of  $2  million 
to  be  sent  as  soon  as  possible  to 
Austria  and  to  Hungary  itself  for 
food,  clothes,  and  medical  sup- 
plies. In  reaching  this  goal,  the 
New  England  Division  of  CARE 
solicited  the  support  of  high 
school  and  college  students  to 
help  victims  of  Soviet  suppres- 
sion of  the  university  sparked 
Hungarian   revolution. 

Although  CARE  solicited  Bux- 
ton, Williams  College  and  the 
Pine  Cobble  School  by  telegram  on 
November  27th,  Buxton — with  the 
help  of  five  Williams  students  who 
raised  $91  of  the  total — was  the 
only  Williamstown  educational 
institution  to  make  a  concerted 
effort  to  raise  money  in  the  56- 
square-mile  township. 
The    Drive 

The  Buxton  faculty  cancelled 
Monday  classes  for  tlie  drive. 
Teams  of  two  boys  or  two  girls 
called  on  every  Williamstown 
house,  except  those  connected 
with   the  college. 


Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  On  next 
Thursday,  Friday,  and  Saturday, 
Richard  Brinsley  Sheridan's  sa- 
tire, "The  Critic",  will  be  shown 
at  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 
by  the  Cap  and  Bells. 

Giles  PlayfaU-,  director  of  this 
production,  has  announced  an  in- 
novation has  been  added  to  this 
presentation.  Music  has  been  com- 
posed and  arranged  especially  for 
this  play  by  Walter  Nollner,  as- 
sistant professor  of  music. 

Background  Lectures 

Among  those  featm'ed  in  the 
cast  are  Bob  Vail  '58,  as  Dangle: 
E.  J.  Johnson  '59,  as  Sneer;  Pete 
Schrooder  '58,  as  Sir  Fretful  Plai- 
gary,  Pat  McGinnis  '57,  as  Whis- 
kerados  and  Louise  King  of  Ben- 
nington in  the  role  of  Mrs.  Dan- 
gle. 

In  order  to  increase  interest  in 
the  play,  the  faculty  will  give  two 
background  lectures  on  the  sa- 
tire. On  Monday,  Dec.  3,  Prof.  Al- 
len of  the  English  department 
gave  a  lecture  on  the  social  back- 
ground of  tlie  eighteenth  cen- 
tury, the  setting  of  the  play.  Next 
Monday  Prof.  Playfair  will  lec- 
ture in  the  AMT  on  the  theatri- 
cal background  of  the  times  and 
the  play  itself.

Bloodmobile  Accepts 
Donations  Next  Week 


Williamstown,  Dec.  8  -  Mr. 
Prank  R.  Thorns  announced  to- 
day that  the  Red  Cross  Blood- 
mobile  will  be  stationed  in  front 
of  the  Williamstown  Congre-

nations from  the  students  and 
faculty  of  WilUams. 

Mr.  Thorns,  who  has  directed 
Red  Cross  Bloodmobile  opera- 
tions at  Williams  since  1951, 
said  that  a  great  number  of 
the  parents  of  students  under 
21  have  returned  cards  giving 
their  sons  permission  to  donate 
a   pint   of   blood. 

The  Bloodmobile  is  equipped 
to  handle  as  many  as  10  ap- 
pointments in  each  15  minute 
period.  Students  are  urged 
however,  to  allow  at  least  45 
minutes  for  the  total  opera- 
tion. The  unit  will  be  opened 
between  10  a.m.  and  4  p.m.  on 
both  days.  Walk-in  appoint- 
ments will  be  accepted  provid- 
ed the  students  have  their  par- 
ental permission  with  them. 
Anyone  with  a  cold  or  a  recent 
operation  should  not  give  blood.

Baxter  Gives  No  Comment  On 
Discipline  Committee's  Proposal 
To  Abolish  Hell  Week  Practices 

hi/  Hill  Edoar 

Sunday.  Dec.  9  -  Altlioiiuli  no  oHkial  action  was  taken,  the 
1)  i|)linary  (-'oininitlcc's  proposal  that  tlif  administration  outlaw 
fi  -  iriitv  lia/ii])^  was  suhicctcd  to  considerable  coninient,  conlio- 
\,     \  and  clarilication  hy  l)otli  students  and  lacullv  last  week. 

rhe  Discipline  Connniltee  usually  addresses  its  proposals  to 
fl  Dean.  Hul.  aecoiilini;  to  Cliaiunan  Freeman  I'oote,  ht'cause  ol 
tl  "I'ar-reacliint;"  implications  of  tliis  reconnnendation,  it  was  ad- 
(li.  ssed  to  "the  adriu'nislration." 

This  ])erniits  Collcjje  President  James  P.  Ua.xter,  111,  to  cliose 
il  nid  how  the  proposal  will  he  put  into  effect,  lie  does  not,  as 
u  IS  stated  in  a  pre\  ions  lil'-COliD  article,  have  to  hrinj;  tile  pro- 
p.isal  to  the  trustees.  Me  can  hriui^  it  before  the  facull\'  ineetinj; 
tills  Thursday,  lie  can  decide  a  course  of  action  with  the  Dean, 
uilli  the  trustees,  or  bv  himself. 

"\i)  ('oiniiicnt" 

When  asked  what  course  of  action  he  would  take.  President 
lii\ter  pointed  out  that  the  issue  was  not  a  |)ressinj4  one,  as  the 
nr\l  haternil\'  initiations  do  not  take  place  until  ne.\t  fall.  "I  have 
no  comment  at  this  time,"  he  said. 

There  seemed  (o  be  little  doubt  on  the  Williams  campus  last 
\v('ck,  howe\('r,  that  the  Disciplinary  Connnittee's  proposal  would 
lir  put  into  ellect.  A  meinher  ol  Garfjoylc  said  that  the  proposal 
vvcinld  "obx  iouslv"  pass.  (>'onnneiited  one  junior:  "It  doesn't  mat- 
lir  what  we  sav  an\\vav." 

As  to  how  the  proposal  will  be  put  into  effect,  it  was  learned 
from  an  unoflicial  source  vesterdav  that  President  Ua.xter  favored 
a  reeoinmendation  by  the  Social  CJouncil,  wherebv  certain  aspects 
of  fraternity  ha/ini;  would  he  declared  illei;al  by  the  houses  tlieni- 
seh-es.  'I'he  methods  of  cnhircement  would  then  be  determined  an<l 
ap|)lied  bv  a  student-lacultv  committee. 
(Uniimittff'.s  Stand 

The  faculty  members  of  the  Discipline  (Committee  expressed 
unanimous  afjreement  over  the  pressing  necessity  h)r  some  action 
In  ehanije  fralermtv  ha/injj.  The  proixisal.  stated  Dean  Robert 
M.  \\.  Rrooks,  secrctarv  of  tlie  Committee,  provides  a  "relreshinij; 
breath  of  air  on  what  has  bccom<'  an  incrcasiui^ly  intolerable  sit- 
uation." 

Antonio  dcLahj^ueria  pointed  out  that  the  "circumstantial  a- 
ijrcenicnts  ■  of  the  past  to  restrict  hazing;  did  not  last  because 
lliose  who  made  them  ijraduatcd.  "SomebocK  has  to  determine  in 
black  and  white  what  von  can  and  cannot  do."  he  said. 

Most  of  the  facultv  Committee  members  seemed  to  feel  that 
llie  fratermlies-throunh  S(;  discussions  and  CJarijovIe  jiroposals 
ihis  fall— had  been  i;i\cn  a  chance  to  restrict  Ib'll  Week.  Ind'^inn 
from  the  recent  hazing  period,  they  had  failc'd,  and  the  adminis- 
Iration  must  take  action. 

Mr.  l'"o()te  emphasized.  howc\er.  in  a  jirepared  .staternent.  that 
inanv  prc-initiation  activities  are  considered  "worthwhile".  "It  was 
lor  this  reason  that  the  C:ommittee  su^nested  that  students  be  con- 
sulted in  interpreting  and  enlorcin);  the  rule  if  it  be  put  into  effect." 
SC  Stand 

The  College  Council  expressed  its  support  for  the  Commit- 
tee's proposal,  and  (Jarsjovle.  aceordinf;  to  one  of  its  members,  is 
expected  to  back  it  stroni^lv  in  a  Tnesdav  meetinij. 

SC  President  John  \\innacker  said  that  the  house  presidents 
were  "antaijonistic,  not  so  mnch  toward  the  proposal,  but  toward 
the  fact  that  the  Discipline  Connnittee  is  forcing  it  on  the  houses 
without  allowing  them  to  take  the  initial  step." 


Religious    Gathering    Pays    Tribute 
To   Haystack   Movement   Founding 


60  District  Students 
Participate  In  Events 

WCC  Program  Features 
Dr.  Lehman,  Schuman 


By  Sandy  Hansell 

Sunday,  Dec.  9  —  An  impressive 
final  tribute  to  the  Haystack  Cen- 
tennial was  paid  on  campus  this 
weekend  as  60  delegates  from  11 
area  coUet'es  gathered  to  hold  a 
conference  with  the  theme  "A 
Faith  For  One  World." 

Sponsored  by  the  Student  Chris- 
tian Movement,  the  association  of 
all  northeastern  college  student 
Ch:istian  Kroups,  and  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  WCC,  the  conference 
attempted  to  establish  the  rela- 
tionship between  religion  and  pol- 
itics in  the  modern  world. 
Keynote  Address 

Opening  the  conference  Friday 
evening,  Political  Science  Profes- 
.sor  Frede;  ick  Schuman,  in  discus- 
sing current  world  crisis,  stated 
the  United  States  and  Russia  must 
cooperate  to  solve  the  pressing 
problems  facing  mankind.  He  sug- 
gested such  solutions  as  tlie  two 
countries  cooperating  on  the 
building  of  the  Aswam  Dam  in 
Egypt. 

Saturday  morning  Dr.  Paul  Leh- 
man of  the  Harvard  Divinity 
School  discussed  the  reality  of 
Christianity  in  terms  of  human 
structure.  "The  'follow-the-gleam' 
type  religion  is  at  a  dead-end", 
he  .said.  Dr.  Lehman  added  that 
the  founders  of  the  American 
Missionary  Haystack  Movement 
here  some  150  years  ago  faced  the 
problems  of  human  inadequacies, 
the  burdens  of  world  life  and  the 
obstacles  of  a  Godless  world. 
Power  of  Reality 

In  a  later  address  Saturday  eve- 
ning. Dr.  Lehman  declared  that 
"Christ  gave  the  Power  of  the  Re- 
ality of  Being  to  the  Church,  this 
power  being  the  power  to  work 
through  people  for  the  renewal  of 
human  structure."  P'inally,  in  his 
Chapel  Sermon  this  morning.  Dr. 


Grinder  Completed,  "Mehlin's  Monster"  In  Progress; 
Schweighauser,  Hatfield  To  Work  On  Giant  *Scope* 


By   George   Aid 

In  a  recent  RECORD  inter- 
view. Field  Memorial  Professor  of 
Astronomy  Theodore  O,  Mehlin 
announced  the  completion  of  a 
special  grinding  machine  and  the 
beginning  of  work  on  a  monster 
telescope  mirror.  The  machine, 
constructed  of  specially  cast  and 
machined  parts,  was  made  by  a  lo- 
cal firm  and  the  College  machine 
carpentry  shops  after  Prof.  Meh- 
lin's  designs,  then  assembled  In 
the  Astrolab.  A  bulky,  somewhat 
noisy  apparatus,  it  is  driven  by 
an  electric  motor  and  a  series  of 
belts.  So  far  only  a  very  few  in- 
coasequential  "bugs"  have  been 
discovered. 

The  heart  of  the  completed  tel- 
escope will  be  the  mirror.  It 
should  not  be  confused  with  the 
"lens"  of  the  better-known  refr- 
Arring  type  of  telescope,  which 
operates  on  the  basts  of  light 
passing  through  a  series  of  trans- 
parent glass  elements.  In  the 
'scope  under  construction  rays  of 
light  will  enter  the  tube,  reflect 
off  the  aluminum-coated  con- 
cave glass  mirror,  and  the  result- 
ing Image  be  deflected  by  a  prism 
to  an  eyepiece  on  the  side  of  the 
tube.  The  magnifying  power  of  the 
telescope  may  then  be  varied  by 
the  use  of  eyepieces  of  varying  fo- 
cal lengths.

Student  Leaders 
Discuss  Problems 
Of  College  Life 

Ephs  Gather  With  Reps 
Of  Amherst,  Wesleyan, 
Dartmouth,    Bowdoin 


Lehman,  linking  the  Second  Sun- 
day in  Advent  with  the  Haystack 
Movement,  pleaded  for  seeking 
and  finding  the  light  in  Christ 
during  this  Advent  Season. 

An  intregal  and,  according  to 
WCC  delegates,  a  most  valuable 
portion  of  the  entire  conference 
was  the  seminars  conducted  by 
25  members  of  the  Program  for 
Advanced  Religious  Studies  at  the 
Union  Theological  Seminary  in 
New  York  City.  Hailing  from  19 
different  Countries  from  all  over 
the  world,  these  religious  leaders, 
alGiie,  with  dclcsatcc  and  chap 
lains  from  the  colleges  represented 
at  the  conference,  lent  a  distinctly 
international  and  provocative  at- 
mospheie  to  the  varied  seminars, 
the  WCC  said. 

Afternoon  Seminar 

In  an  afternoon  session  devoted 
to  "Leadership  in  Younger 
Churches",  the  PARS  group  no- 
ted that  churches  no  longer  send 
out      missionaries      to      yoimger 


chuixihes  throughout  the  world, 
as  was  the  original  practice,  but 
now  the  newer  churches  must  spe- 
cifically request  a  missionary. 
These  younger  churches  are  thus 
no  longer  dictated  to  by  the  older, 
more  established  ones,  they  said. 

One  of  the  three  women  mis- 
sionaries at  the  conference.  Miss 
Borelli  of  England,  highlighted  an 
evening  seminar  by  interpreting 
Dr.  Lehman's  second  address  as 
advice  for  "each  individual  to 
take  a  step  forward,  even  if  he 
doesn't  know  exactly  where  he  is 
going." 

Local  Churches 

Several  members  of  the  group 
preached  in  local  churches  this 
morning  with  the  exception  of  the 
women  Ministers  who  were  prohi- 
bited from  doing  so  by  a  local  law. 

Eric  Butler  served  as  general 
chairman  for  the  entire  confer- 
ence and  Warner  Kim,  the  reci- 
pient of  the  WCC's  Haystack  Fel- 
lowship, was  registrar.  Wedge 
Owen  is  WCC  President. 


Zetes  Organize  Successful  Clothes  Drive 
To  Help  In  Relief  Of  Hungarian  Refugees 


Schweighauser  '58  and  Cameron 
Hatfield  '58,  is  now  being  smooth- 
ed on  both  surfaces  in  order  to 
find  the  most  favorable  side  for 
grinding  and  shaping,  Tlie  entire 
process,  from  rough  grinding  with 
coarse  carborundum  to  final  pol- 
ishing with  optical  rouge,  may 
well  take  almost  two  years.  After 
being  coated  with  a  microscopical- 
ly thin  layer  of  reflecting  alu- 
minum, the  mirror  will  be  ready 
for  mounting  in  a  "cell",  which 
in  turn  fits  into  a  long,  round 
tube. 

As  the  grinding  progresses,  the 
process   will  become   Increasingly 


painstaking  and  delicate,  A  single 
grain  of  coarse  "carbo"  which 
finds  its  way  into  the  surface  of 
the  minor  during  the  later  fine- 
grinding  or  pnlLshing  stages  will 
cause  a  deep  scratch  —  in  other 
words,  the  surface  will  have  to  be 
ground  over  again  until  the 
scratch  disappears. 

Visitors  to  the  Astrolab  are  in- 
vited to  see  the  grinding  In  prog- 
ress, with  the  reservation  that 
they  knock  before  entering  —  it 
seems  that  the  inexorable  rasping 
of  this  Frankenstein's  monster 
makes  Messrs.  Hatfield  and 
Schweighauser  somewhat  Jumpy. 


Wednesday,  Dec,  12  -  Hungarian  refugees  can  in  some  mea- 
sure be  thankful  for  the  help  that  they  have  received  through  the 
.services  of  several  Williams  undergraduates.  The  Willianis  Col- 
lego-  Chapel  through  the  ausiiices  of  the  World  University  Ser- 
vice, ha.s  given  a  certain  amount  of  money,  and  at  least  two  per- 
sonal organizations  have  also  contributed  a  big  share.  However, 
there  has  been  no  unified  camjius  support. 

PerhaiJS  the  most  unique  organization  is  an  informal  group 
of  Zeta  Psi  brothers,  who  banded  together  to  collect  old  clothes 
from  Williams  students,  Eric  Malnic,  the  organizer  of  this  infor- 
mal group,  Bob  Loevy  and  George  Secor  directed  a  drive  which 
produced  three  packing  cases,  about  three  feet,  by  four  feet,  by 
two  feet  in  dimensions,  full  of  Ephnien's  cast  off  clothes. 
Drive  Success 
Bob  Loevy  felt  that  this  drive  had  been  a  great  success.  He 
reported  that  "every  third  man  we  hit  gave  us  something.  Pants, 
shirts  and  sweaters  have  made  up  the  bulk  of  our  collection."  The 
three  men  went  through  the  freshman  dorms  on  Thursdav,  De- 
cember 6,  after  they  had  canvassed  all  of  the  houses  with  Zete 
pledges  during  Hell  week. 

.According  to  Loevv,  the  whole  campaign  started  at  Smith 
College,  when  Gretl  Malnic,  Eric's  sister,  received  a  letter  from 
her    .\ustrian    relatives,   reiDorting   that   tliere   were   over   75,000 
Hungarian  refugees  near  tlieir  home  in  need  of  help.  Gretl  then 
proceeded  to  organize  Smith  and  then  even  Northampton  into  a 
drive  to  get  the  needed  clothes.  She  then  phoned  her  Williams' 
brother,  Eric,  and  got  him  working  on  tlie  same  project. 
Quiet  Campainit 
Since  then  the  three  Zetes  have  been  working  in  a  quiet  and 
ini|)ersonal  campaign  on  the  Willianis  campus.  On  Saturday,  De- 
cember 8,  they  took  their  three  packing  cases  of  clothes  to  North- 
ampton, where  the  cases  were  sent  along  with  sister  Gretl's  ac- 
quisitions, via  the  Red  Cross  to  the  Malnics'  relatives  in  Austria. 
At  least  one  other  personal  organization  on  campus  has  been 
at  work.  Under  the  leadership  of  Phil  McKean,  a  small  band  of 
Ephmen  have  gone  door  to  door  in  a  Williamstowii  residential 
area,  collecting  money  from  Williamstown  residents,  on  behalf  of 
the  Hungarian  refugees.  McKean  and  six  others  canvassed  the 
Oak  Hill  district  of  Williamstown  for  a  more  general  campaign, 
staged  by  Buxton  School.  This  overall  drive  netted  $1,200  dol- 
lars for  CARE,  McKcan's  group  soliciting  $90  of  that  total. 
Chest  Gives 
The  Williams  College  Chest  has  also  given  money  for  the 
relief  of  the  refugees,  altliough  indirectly,  Tnc  World  University 
Service,  who  has  been  heading  the  national  drive  to  help  tlie 
Hungarian  students,  has  been  a  benefactor  of  the  College  Chest 
funds.  Chairman  of  the  chest  fund  drive  Dick  Clokey  said  that 
he  had  promised  everything  over  the  quota  that  the  chest  drive 
received,  but  since  the  drive  fell  $500  snort  of  its  goal,  no  money 
was  forthcoming. 


Wednesday,  Dec.  12  —  Infor- 
mality was  the  keynote  of  the 
Pentagonal  Conference  sponsored 
here  by  the  College  Council  Sat- 
urday and  Sunday.  Student  repre- 
sentatives of  Amherst,  Wesleyan, 
Dartmouth  and  Bowdoin  ex- 
changed ideas  on  20  basic  prob- 
lems. 

CC  Piesident,  Donald  W.  Gard- 
ner, Jr.  '57  stated  after  the  final 
session,  "The  response  from  dele- 
gates was  gratifying  to  the  Col- 
lege Council  in  that  the  confer- 
ence accomplished  what  we  had 
hoped  —  an  exchange  of  ideas  and 
a  general  discussion  of  vai'ious 
topics  and  issues."  Williams  was 
represented  by  Gardner,  Richard 
E.  Fearon  '57,  Jack  W.  P.  Love, 
Jr.  '58,  and  Richard  R.  Jackson, 
Jr.  '59. 

Ideas  Exchanged 

The  opening  session  dealt  with 
problems  affecting  the  whole  col- 
lege. The  entire  area  of  communi- 
cations v\'as  reviewed.  Finances  for 
non-profit  student  organizations 
and  the  value  derived  from  mem- 
bership in  the  National  Student 
Association  were  also  among  the 
topics  taken  into  consideration. 
The  NBA  is  a  world-wide  platform 
for  the  discussion  of  student  prob- 
lems. 

Fraternities  were  taken  up  at 
the  second  session.  The  various 
methods  of  rushing  in  use  by  the 
five  colleges  were  emphasized. 
Gardner  reported  that  Williams 
was  particularly  interested  in  the 
lOO'i  rushing  plan  at  Amherst  and 
the  fact  that  there  is  less  stratifi- 
cation of  fraternities  there  than 
at  Williams.  He  defined  stratifica- 
tion as  the  unofficial  division  of 
fraternities  into  groups  of  "weak" 
and  "strong"  houses. 

Amherst  Visitors 

The  three  Amherst  representa- 
tives stated  that  the  college  may 
be  forced  to  institute  a  guest  card 
system  in  order  to  avoid  problems 
such  as  vandalism  which  have  re- 
sulted from  unlimited  hospitality. 
They  hoped  Williams  men  would 
appreciate  the  necessity  of  the 
move. 

Gardner  noted  that  the  entire 
discussion  was  enthusiastic,  lively, 
and  enjoyable.  "We  weren't  out  to 
shake  the  world,"  he  emphasized, 
"The  goal  was  enlightenment  on 
varying  procedures  and  attitudes. 
We  got  definite  ideas,  but  realized 
that  answers  were  not  necessary."

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  The  Editor  of  the  RECORD; 

We  tlie  undersigiiecl,  haviui;  read  the  December  5  i.s.sue  of  tlie 
Williams  College  RECORD  which  concerned  it.self  primarily  with 
the  Discipline  Committee  (jrojiosal  and  the  C.  C.  vote  on  Hell 
Week,  make  the  following  suggestions: 

1 )  That  an  issue  such  as  this  which  affects  most  of  the  student 
body  at  one  time  or  another  should  be  handled  by  a  group  which 
represents  the  student  body.  We  feel  that  a  limited  committee  such 
as  the  College  Council  or  the  Discipline  Committee  can  not  (pos- 
sibly represent  the  sentiment  of  the  students  when  it  has  not  bad 
time  to  feel  out  the  opinion  of  the  majority.  It  is  our  wish  that  a  j 
more  representative  body  such  as  the  Social  Council  have  more 
say  in  a  matter  such  as  Hell  Week  which  vitally  concerns  the  fra- 
ternities; the  Social  Council  has  handled  rushing  ijrograms  and 
we  feel  that  Hell  Week  is  of  such  a  similar  nature  that  it  should 
also  have  priority  over  this  issue. 

2)  That  the  Williams  RECORD,  the  only  vehicle  of  student 
expression,  should  refrain  from  sensationalizing  the  news  at  the 
expense  of  distorting  and  misrepresenting  the  intent  of  the  basic 
issues  involved  in  this  or  any  other  question.  The  discipline  Com- 
mittee did  not  (jrojjose  to  "abolish"  Hell  Week  as  the  headlines  of 
the  RECORD  would  lead  us  to  believe.  We  present  this  suggestion 
because  the  RECORD  is  sent  to  a  great  many  readers  who  are  not 
able  to  talk  with  Discipline  Committee  inembers  or  College  Coun- 
cil members  to  find  out  the  exact  intent  of  their  i)ro|50sals,  and  they 
are  therefore  led  into  a  false  impression  of  what  the  college  is 
doing. 

3)  That  the  fraternities  should  each  have  sole  control  over 
its  own  form  of  Hell  Week  until  it  promotes  such  practices  that 
will 

a)  reflect  badly  on  the  college  itself 

b)  affect  that  student's  ability  to  fulfill  bis  obligations 

to  the  college 

c)  inflict  physical  or  mental  harm  on  the  student's  (lerson. 
We  feel  that  the  proiier  body  to  interpret  these  tjualifications 

should  be  the  social  Council  and  also  that  the  interpretation  take 
place  ex  post  facto.  If  this  committee  feels  that  a  fraternity  has 
violated  its  above  stated  responsibilities  to  its  ))ledges  and  to  the 
college,  the  committee  should  recommend  just  inmishment  for 
the  fraternity  to  the  administration.  We  feel  that  the  threat  of  a 
heavy  penaUy  will  bring  about  a  more  responsible  attitude  with- 
in the  fraternities  when  they  plan  Hell  Week.  In  this  way  the 
harmful  practices  of  Hell  Week  such  as  those  which  brought  this 
problem  to  the  surface  will  be  eliminated.  We  feel  that  the  mat- 
ters should  be  handled  in  the  above  mentioned  nuinnei  because 
for  a  fraternity  to  fulfill  one  of  its  most  important  purjioses,  it 
must  realize  and  bear  responsibility.  If  its  obligations  are  limited 
and  dictated  by  the  administration,  fraternity  members,  the  ma- 
jorit'  of  Williams  College  students,  will  lose  their  oj^iiortunity  to 
mature  by  facing  the  responsibilities  offered  in  fraternity  life.

1  -  FRENCH  COLONIALISM  IN  ALGERIA 

With  the  rapid  dwindling  of  the  French  empire  m  the  past 
few  years-the  loss  of  Indo-aiina,  of  Morocco  and  ol  'riiiiisia— 
French  colonialists,  who  refused  to  adjust  themselves  to  tlu^  eiu- 
rent  realities  of  the  world  situation  and  to  accept  for  France  a 
motlest  position  in  the  world  proportionate  to  its  ri'ul  health  i)l 
bodv  aiul  mind,  Algeria  came  to  be  a  symbol  and  a  rallying  point 
of  tlie-hard  Mr.  Mitterand-like  French  officials  and  remnants  of 
the  glorious,  hut  never  to  return,  past. 
\V.\R  FOR  FREEDOM: 

Since  November  I,  1954,  the  French  government  has  l)een 
facing  an  armed  resistance  in  Algeria.  Up  till  this  minute,  the 
I'rench  government  has  never  admitted  the  fact  that  the  situa- 
tion in  Algeria  constitutes  a  war  against  a  mass  mo\i'inent  ol  the 
'.'ntire  )50)5ulation.  But  the  fact  that  French  armed  forces  engagi'd 
in  Algeria  today  comprises  5(K),(XH)  men  including  a  powerlui  air 
force,  naval  iniits,  armored  divisions,  helicopters-rogretfnlly  made 
in  this  country  and  generously  ]5rovided  for  the  convenienci'  and 
the  good  time  of  the  French  Airmanship-clearly  demonstrate 
tiiat  the  situation  which  exists  in  Algeria  is  a  war.  The  war  of  the 
people  of  Algeria  for  their  independence  and  for  their  freedom. 

Unlike  other  wars,  tlie  Algerian  national  movement  has  been 
constantly  submitted  to  the  most  brutal  type  of  police  and  poli- 
tical repression— to  a  policy  of  social  depersonalization,  exploita- 
tion and  oppression  of  the  Algerian  people  for  the  sole  benefits 
of  the  colonizing  |)ower  and  European  settlers.  An  estimated  to- 
tal of  11(),()(K)  Algerians  have  been  killed  by  the  French  forces 
during  the  past  two  years  as  a  result  of  these  methods.  The  pri- 
sons and  concentration  camps  are  filled  with  thousands  of  Algeri- 
ans. Himdreds  of  villages  and  settlements  have  been  sacked  and 
burned  by  the  armed  forces  of  the  French.  The  state  of  seige  is 
constant.  Martial  law  and  arbitrary  goverimient  have  completely 
rejilaced  the  rule  of  law.  But  to  the  French  government  this  lias 
been  only  and  merely  an  exjjerimental  two  years  of  "pacification 
in  Algeria  in,  of  course,  a  French  way.  Ancl  it  was  in  the  French 
way,  too,  that  the  blatent  kidnapjiing  of  five  Algerian  leaders  took 
place. 

The  French  government  has  tried  to  explain  away  the  events 
in  Algeria  as  a  result  of  foreign  intervention.  The  French  gov- 
ernment has  attacked  the  Arab  states  and  Egypt  in  jiarticnlar, 
and  suggested  that  the  proof  of  this  lies  in  the  broadcasts  made 
by  "The  Voice  of  the  Arabs".  But  before  looking  into  the  aims  of 
this  "official"  explanation,  it  must  be  noted  that  not  only  the  pub- 
lic opinion  in  the  Arab  states,  but  the  world  public  opinion  in 
large  has  unanimously  joined  to  condemn  as  an  act  of  barbarism 
this  savage  colonial  war  being  led  by  the  French.  And  even  in 
France  itself  today,  the  French  public  opinion,  tiiougb  deeply  di- 
vided in  its  French  way,  is  more  and  more  condemning  the  out- 
right genocide  practiced  by  the  French  authorities  in  Algeria. 

But  this  "official"  explanation  has  three  aims;  1)  To  deny 
the  very  existence  of  the  Algerian  problems;  2)  to  jiri'sent  e\ents 
in  Algeria  as  the  passing  result  of  a  foreign  demagogic  political 
campaign;  3)  and  finally,  it  is  an  effort  to  intensify  the  Fiench 
cam)5aign  to  repress  the  Algerian  struggle  for  freedom  and  to 
(|nell  the  rebellion  before  the  eleventh  session  of  the  General  As- 
sembly now  convening  with  the  understanding  of  considering  the 
)5robleni  in  its  agenda. 

The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that  the  events  in  Algeria  rep- 
resent a  political  problem  resulting  from  the  internal  situation 
created  by  colonial  rule.  The  Algerian  problem  is  essentially  a 
colonial  problem,  and  so  long  as  the  colonial  regime  continues  to 
exist  there  can  be  no  permanent  solution  and  no  jiernianeiit 
peace  in  Algeria.  French  maneuvers  to  sup|5ress  this  jirobleni,  in- 
cluding the  ridiculous  stretch  of  its  already  crijipled  hands  to 
Egyjit,  are  doomed  to  failure,  just  as  was  the  case  in  Tmiisia  and 
NIorocco.  In  reality  the  problems  of  the  three  coimtries  has  been 
the  same  and  the  amusing  fictions  produced  by  the  sadly  sickening 
French  mind  are  invented  to  confuse  the  issue  and  have  rudely 


Editor's  note:  The  Williams  RECORD  welcomes  a  letter 
even  when  firm  criticism  is  ex]5ressed.  This  is  all  part  of  freedom 
of  expression  and  disagreement  without  hostility.  The  only  way 
a  student  newspaper  can  justify  its  existence  is  when  it  serves  as 
an  outlet  for  student  opinions  regardless  of  whether  they  represent 
tlie  majority  or  the  minority. 

In  defense  of  its  handling  of  the  "Hell  Week"  controversy, 
the  RECORD  made  no  attempt  at  sensation,  distortion  or  mis- 
representation. Even  the  most  naive  reader  should  realize  that 
the  headline  does  not  tell  the  whole  story.  The  Discipline  motion 
stated  "that  fraternity  hazing  be  declared  illegal".  If  there  is  a 
difference  between  declaring  illegal  and  abolition,  then  the  Dis- 
cipline Committee  should  further  clarify  its  motion. 

The  RECORD  also  welcomes  the  suggestion  advanced  by 
the  above  letter  since  it  does  represent  the  views  of  a  strong  ele- 
ment in  the  student  body.  Since  the  College  Council  is  in  dis- 
agreement with  the  authors,  it  is  the  duty  of  the  authors  to  call  for 
a  referendum  leaving  the  final  decision  to  the  student  body.  Tlie 
RECORD  recommends  that  such  a  referendum  take  place  on 
Monday,  December  17th. 


Hungarian  Relief 


A  college-wide  drive  for  funds  for  Hungarian  refugees  be- 
gins today  and  will  last  through  Friday.  The  RECORD,  seeing 
the  lack  of  adequate  and  unified  action  by  Williams  imdergradu- 
ates  in  support  of  Hungarian  relief  as  one  of  the  greatest  dis- 
appointments of  the  fall  term,  is  asking  each  student  to  contri- 
bute $1.00. 

One  dollar.  A  dollar  will  buy  1  and  one-half  movie  tickets, 
four  cans  of  beer,  four  issues  of  MAD,  a  third  of  a  vial  of  Prince 
Matchabelli  perfume.  Through  CARE,  one  dollar  will  also  buy 
22  poimds  of  food,  enough  to  feed  a  refugee  family  for  a  month. 
A  look  at  recent  issues  of  "Life"  magazine  will  give  abundant 
proof  of  the  need  for  aid  to  these  refugees,  and  of  their  gratitude

at  receiving  such  kindness  and  demonstration  of  friendship. 

Williams  is  far  in  the  backwash  of  the  national  tide  of  en- 
thusiasm and  support  for  Hungary.  There  has  been  individual 
action  by  the  Zetes,  DU's  and  Betas,  but  no  college-wide  support. 
Many  colleges  held  specific  relief  drives  just  ocfore  or  after 
Thanksgiving  and  raised  several  thousand  dollars  for  refugee 
support.  Most  of  these  colleges  have  regular  Chest  Fund  drives, 
just  as  Williams  does— but  the  students,  realizing  the  uniqueness 
of  the  situation  and  the  desperate  need  of  the  refugees,  willingly 
dipped  in  and  gave  more.  "The  need  has  not  lessened:  Austria  is 
swamped  with  over  100,000  homeless  Hungarians  who  have  fled 
Russian  tyranny,  and  the  number  is  swelfini'  daily.  Winters  in 
central  Europe  are  as  bitter  as  they  are  in  Williamstown,  and  this 
winter  is  just  beginning. 

The  RECORD  is  asking  only  a  dollar  apiece.  Solicitors  will 
come  around  during  the  next  couple  of  days,  and  the  donations 
you  give  them  will  undoubtedly  be  the  biggest  and  most  needed 
present  at  the  least  price  that  you  will  buy  this  Christmas.  Fac- 
ulty are  invited  to  put  donations  into  a  box  for  the  purpose  in  the 
post  office,  or  they  can  send  contiihutions  to  Hungarian  Relief, 
Box  1165,  Town.  Checks  can  be  made  out  to  CARE,  with  "Hun- 
garian Emergency  Relief"  written  in  the  lower  left-hand  corner. 
All  donations  will  go  directly  to  CARE,  specifically  earmarked 
for  Hungarian  refugee  relief,  preferably  in  Austria. 

The  40  members  of  Buxton  School  collected  over  $1200  from 
the  people  of  Williamstown  for  this  cause.  Average  donations  were 
over  $1.  Tlie  RECORD  hopes  that  Williams  students  will  be  as 
generous.

As  for  secondary  education,  there  is  one  Algerian  student

3.  Algerian  economy  is  typically  colonial,  the  country  beiii'.; 
considered  a  source  of  raw  material,  iind  a  market  loi 
French  inamifactnred  goods.  Colonization  has  brought  ,.

THE  GIFT   HOUSE 


The  college  life  is  a  busy  one,  especially  at  this  time 
of  year.  What  with  KoinK  to  classes  and  stiid.vini;  for 
exams  and  inirsiiiiitr  a  lull  social  schedule  and  cimstruct- 
iuK  i'<>|ic  ladders  to  foil  dormitory  curfews,  the  averaKe 
uiulerKiad  is  so  pressed  for  time  that  he  cannot  do  justice 
to  his  Christmas  shopping. 

Therefore,  to  aid  you  in  your  Christmas  shopping,  I 
have  gone  into  the  market  place  and  selected  for  you  a 
list  of  gifts,  notable  for  their  originality. 

Perhap.s  the  most  original  gift  of  all  this  year  ia  a 
carton  of  Philip  Morris  Cigarettes.  "Original?"  you  ex- 
claim, your  bushy  yonng  eyebrows  rising.  "Why,  we 
have  been  giving  cartons  of  Philip  Morris  for  years!" 

True,  I  reply,  but  each  time  you  give  Philip  Morris, 
it  is  a  new  treat,  a  fresh  delight,  a  pristine  pleasure.  Each 
carton,  each  pack,  each  cigarette,  each  pulf,  is  just  us 
good  as  the  first  one  you  ever  tried. 

Another  gift  destined  for  certain  popularity  this 
year  is  a  gift  certificate  from  the  American  Dental  As- 
.sociation.  This  certificate,  good  at  any  dentist's  olfice  in 
America,  is  accompanied  by  a  handsome  gift  card  upon 
which  is  engraved  this  lovely  poem: 

Merry  Christmas,  little  jml, 
Do  you  need  some  root  canal! 

Prophylaxis?  Porcelain  caps? 
Bridocwork  to  close  up  them  gaps? 

Shitiy  hracfs  that  irill  straighten? 
Inlays?   Fillinris?    Upper  platen? 

Merry  Cliristmas  to  your  teeth. 
And  the  rosy  gums  beneath. 


Another  gift  that  ia  always  welcome  is  a  book,  espe- 
cially to  people  who  read.  This  Christmas  the  selection 
of  books  is  particularly  attractive.  For  lovers  of  an- 
thologies, there  is  William  Makepeace  Sherpa's  A  Treas- 
ury of  the  World's  Great  Treasuries.  For  those  who  fancy 
inspiring  success  stories,  there  is  the  stirring  autobi- 
ography of  William  Makepeace  Pemmican  entitled  How 
I  Got  a  Forty  Pound  Monkey  Off  My  Back  and  Started 
the  Duluth  Zoo.  For  devotees  of  skin-diving,  there  is 
/  Married  a  Snorkel  by  Lydia  Makepeace  Watershed.  For 
calorie  counters  and  waistline  watchers,  there  is  Harry 
Makepeace  Wildfostcr's  Eat  and  Grow  Fat. 

My  own  favorite  book  this  season  is  a  pulse-pounding 
historical  novel  from  that  famous  author  of  pulse-pound- 
ing historical  novels,  Daphne  Makepeace  Sigafoos.  This 
one  is  called  Ef/ad  and  Zounds,  and  it  tells  the  poignant 
romance  of  two  young  lovers,  Egad  and  Zounds,  who, 
alas,  can  never  be  married,  for  fiery  Egad  is  but  a  gypsy 
lass,  while  tempestuous  Zounds  is  a  Kappa  Sigma.  They 
later  become  Ludwig  of  Bavaria. 

My  final  gift  suggestion  ia  one  that  a  great  many 
people  have  been  fervently  wishing  for  since  la.st  year. 
Do  you  remember  the  introduction  la.st  ChrLstmas  of 
tiny  personal  portable  radios  that  plugged  into  your  ear? 
Well,  this  year,  you  Will  be  delighted  to  know,  you  can 
buy  an  ingenious  pick  to  get  them  out.

Although  the  team  did  not  per- 
form as  well  as  had  been  antici- 
pated, it  gained  very  easily  the 
first  victory  in  what  it  hopes  will 
be  one  of  its  best  seasons.  The 
next  meet  will  find  the  team  pit- 
ted against  Syracuse  in  the  home 
pool  shortly  after  vacation.  Syra- 
cuse downed  the  1956  squad  43-41. 

Pieshman  football  coach  Frank 
Navarro,  who  has  been  substitu- 
ting for  Bob  Muir  during  Bob's 
leave  of  absence,  commented, 
"Captain  Pete  Dietz's  leadership 
was  a  great  help  to  me.  But  I  was 
also  very  favoi'ably  impressed  with 
the  team's  enthusiasm  and  spirit." 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Muir  are  exiJected 
to  return  from  the  Olympics  some- 
time this  week.  They  are  expected 
to  return  in  time  to  witness  the

the  last  quarter  tonight  as  a  de- 
termined Union  squad  overcame  a 
12-point  deficit  to  take  a  72-68 
victory,  handing  the  Ephs  theii' 
second  loss  in  two  starts.  The  vis- 
itors trailed  most  of  the  game  be- 
fore rallying  to  take  their  third 
straight  victory  and  defeat  the 
Ephmen  for  the  first  time  since 
1949.  In  the  freshmen  contest, 
Williams  rolled  to  an  easy  81-45 
victory  over  Union,  as  Jim  Morris 
scored  30  points 

Mistakes  led  to  the  Ephs'  down- 
fall in  their  first  home  game  as 
Coach  Al  Shaw's  inexperienced 
.squad  frequently  made  bad  passes 
and  committed  violations  and 
fouls  which  proved  costly  in  the 
loosely-played  game.  Although 
Williams  had  trouble  with  Union's 
zone  defense  in  the  first  half,  bal- 
anced scoring  gave  them  a  32-28 
edge  at  the  intermission.  Union's 
hustling  guards,  Don  Herman  and 
Frank  Crum,  paced  the  Gai'nets 
scoring  attack  in  the  first  two  per- 
iods and  their  aggressive  defensive 
play  was  a  constant  thorn  in  the 
Purple's  side  throughout  the  first 
half.

Ephmen  To  Meet 
Dartmouth,  Navy 
In  Squash  Tests 


Year  Openers  Promise 
Tough    Team    Contests 
For  Eph  Racquetmen 


Wednesday,  Dec.  12  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  squash  team  opens 
its  intercollegiate  season  at  the 
Lasell  courts  by  entertaining  a 
strong  Dartmouth  team  tomorrow, 
December  13.  The  Ephmen  show- 
ed favorably  in  early  season  prac- 
tice matches,  but  will  meet  their 
first  real  test  in  the  Indian  rac- 
quet wielders.  Dartmouth  has  sev- 
en of  its  starting  nine  back  from 
last  year's  team  which  lost  to 
Williams,  8-1,  plus  Its  two  top 
notch  sophomores,  Don  Pierson 
and  Dick  Hoehn.  These  sophs  will 
play  the  first  two  places. 

Coach  Clarence  Chaffee  will 
probably  counter  with  his  starting 
nine  of  Oilie  Stafford,  Tom  Shul- 
man,  Rogers  Southall,  Sam  Eells, 
Dick  Ennis,  Doodles  Weaver, 
Charlie  Alexander,  Crosby  Smith. 
Bob  Ohmes  and  as  a  possible  al- 
ternate, Chris  Schaefer.  Stafford, 
who  wa.s  ranked  third  in  the  in- 
tercollegiate ranks,  will  lead  Wil- 
liams along  with  dependable  cap- 
tain Sam  Eells. 

On  Friday,  December  14,  Wil- 
liams will  again  meet  an  even 
stronger  squad  when  the  Navy 
squash  team  invades  Williams- 
town.  The  Middies  conquered  last 
year's  strong  Eph  team  by  an  8-1 
score  and  will  return  with  six  let- 
termen  from  that  squad. 

Coach  Chaffee  summed  up  the 
Navy  visitors  when  he  wrote  to 
his  team.  "These  men  are  Great 
Competitors.  They  never  give  up. 
You  must  play  for  every  point. 
They  will  be  very  tough  to  beat."

Bi/  Harvey  Carter 
Saturday,  Dec.  8  -  A  larj^e  crowd  watched  the  WiUiams  Var- 
sity hockey  team  lose  to  Northeastern,  4-3,  this  eveiiiii);  for  the 
second  defeat  in  two  games.  A  comeback  surge  in  the  last  half  of 
the  final  jieriod  found  the  I5|)hnien  in  position  to  tie  tlie  score  at 
4-all,  after  Northeastern  had  taken  a  three  goal  lead  by  5:51  of 
the  third  period.  A  jjass  play  from  Bob  Leiiiljach  and  John  Hol- 
man  to  Bob  l^owden  accoiiiited  for  Williams  second  goal  and  a 
minute  and  a  half  later  Dave  Wood  scoied  unassisted  to  make  the 
score,  4-3,  as  the  Ephmeii  began  to  control  the  play. 

In  a  final  and  all-out  attem|5t  to  knot  the  score,  Coach  McCor- 
inick  yanked  goalie  "Lefty"  Marr  and  Williams  put  tire  pressure 
on  with  a  foiu'  man  offensive  unit.  However,  Williams  could  not 
score  the  vital  fourth  goal  and  an  exciting  finish  found  the  Pur- 
ple on  the  short  end  of  a  4-3  score. 

I'crmlties  Hurt  Ephs 
The  game  was  characterized  by  hard  play  on  tlie  part  of 
both  teams  and  resulting  penalties  hurt  the  Ephs  as  they  garner- 
ed seven  spells  in  the  (lenalty  box  to  Northeastern's  two.  Instead 
of  organizing  rushes  on  the  Northeastern  defense  and  goal,  the 
Purple  were  often  forced  to  ice  the  ]iuck  because  they  were  a 
man  short.  The  Ephmen  played  fiiie  defensive  hockey,  but  it  was 
sustained  scoring  drives  that  could  have  won  tlie  game  for  tliem 
today. 

Williams  opened  the  scoring  in  tlie  first  period  when  Dave 
Cook  passed  to  Dick  Lombard  and  tlie  latter  split  the  twine. 
Noitheastern  bounced  back  five  minutes  later  when  Cavanaugh 
went  in  uiiassisted  to  beat  goalie  Marr  and  tie  the  game  up  at  1 
apiece. 

The  secoiid  period  and  the  beginning  of  tlie  third  found 
Northeastern  dominating  the  scoring  as  tliey  increased  their  lead 
to  three  goals.  The  Ei^hmeii  made  tlieir  final  bid  to  knot  the  score 

in  the  waning  minutes  of  the  third 
period  but  fine  defensive  play  by 
Northeastern  and  equally  excel- 
lent goal  tending  by  Kerr  pre- 
vented them  from  netting  the  ty- 
ing goal.

("Wlio's  Trying  to  Conf-uciias?) 


Many  moons  ago  .  .  .  around  600  B.  C.  .  .  .  there  was 
a  barkeep  named  Draw  Wun  in  a  little  bistro  o£f 
Times  Square  in  Shanghai.  Now  this  character's 
cashbox  was  loaded  with  loot,  as  Wun  served  up 
the  greatest  brew  that  side  of  the  Yangtze. 

"Murder,"   said   Wun,   one  p.  m. 
near  9  as  the  cats  were  clamoring  for 
more  beer,  "I'm  getting  all  shook 
up  trying  to  keep  gung-ho  on  the 
tap,  take  the  cash,  and  figure 
out  the  change.  I  don't  dig 
that  math." 

The  beer  Wun  was  crying 
in  ViclonRrtl  to  M  cnl'.'ilus 
prof  Iirom  tliu  local  U. 


^-^s  ^^^^^^^^^ 


"Gad,  Dad,"  sjrmpathized  the  math  man,  "keep  cooL 
I'll  think  of  something.  You  can  count  on  it." 

So  the  prof  rickshawed  home  and  took  a  bath.  Soon 
he  was  heard  to  shout,  "Eureka!"  (in  Chinese,  of 
course).  He  had  solved  the  problem  by  inventing  the 
abacus. 

Next  day  he  brought  in  a  counting  gizmo  made  of  bam- 
boo and  cranberries.  With  this  mechanical  brain,  Wun 
was  able  to  introduce  the  time-payment  plan,  because 
one  day  a  patron  and  Wun  did  this  bit  across  the 
mahogany: 

"I  have  a  yen  for  two  cold  ones  to  go,"  said  the  customer. 

"Sorry,  friend,  we  don't  accept  Japanese  currency," 
Wun  lunged. 

"I'm  flat,  cat,"  came  the  reply,  "got  a  suggestion?" 

Whereupon  Wun  played  a  few  fast  notes  on  his  abacus; 
figured  the  terms  of  a  loan  for  two  beers  and  said, 
"Borrow  one  and  carry  two". . .  two  terms  still  used  in 
modem  mathematics. 

So  you  can  see  that's  how  Wun  got  a  charge  out 
of  his  abacus. 


MORAL:  When  it  comes  to  mathe- 

matics,  you  can  count  on  an 

abacus  if  you  want  to.  But 

when  it  comes  to  beer,  figure 

on  Budweiser.  It's  the  best 

draught  beer  any  side  of  the 

Yangtze.  You  can  count  on  it. 


Kent  Defeats   Frosh 

Earlier  in  the  afternoon,  the 
Kent  School  soundly  defeated  the 
Purple  Freshman  hockey  team,  4- 
1.  The  Kent  first  line  featured  the 
three  Fryberger  brothers  from  Du- 
luth.  Minn.,  and  before  the  game 
was  over  the  Kent  scoring  had  be- 
come strictly  a  family  affair. 

Erb,    Alford    Stand    Out 

The  Purple  had  then-  moments 
of  scoring  potential  but  could  not 
capitalize  when  an  opportunity 
arose.  Al  Erb  netted  Williams  lone 
goal  in  the  second  period  when  he 
scored  on  a  rebound  of  Roger 
Martin's  shot.  Erb  and  Dick  Al- 
ford stood  out  for  the  home  team 
in  its  losing  cause.

Freshmen  Plan  Christmas  Ball 
With  Bennington  College  Frosh; 
Carter  Heads  Debate  Committee 


Wednesday,  Dec.  12  -  Plans  have  been  initiated  for  a  Christ- 
mas party  with  Benninj^toii  by  tlic  newly-appointed  Social  Com- 
mittee of  the  Freshman  Comicil.  The  jiartv.  for  Bi'iniinnton  and 
Williams  freshmen  only,  is  to  be  held  in  the  Hathskellcr  in  Bax- 
ter Hall  Tnesday,  December  18,  the  evening  before  the  school 
departs  for  vacation.  It  is  expected  to  start  following;  tiie  basket- 
ball name  with  Middlebury  and  continne  initi!  twel\e  o'clock.  The 
yiinior  Advisors  have  been  asked  to  arranj^e  anion^  tlu'nisi'K  es  for 
transjjortation  of  the  Bennington  frosh  to  Williams.  The  |iarty 
will  consist  largely  of  caroling  and  entertainment  by  thi'  Fresh- 
man Octet  and  other  Bennington  and  Williams  groups. 

The  Social  Committee,  under  Chairman  Don  C^anipbell  '60, 
is  also  making  arrangements  for  blind-dates  for  freshmen  at  the 
Holyoke  Holly  Hop.  Lack  of  interest  on  the  |5art  of  Williams 
frosh  may  force  the  committee  to  decline  the  Ilolyoki'  invitation. 
The  only  oUier  freshman  social  which  is  scheduled  at  tlie  moment 
is  a  sophomore-sponsored  frosh-soph  smoker  around  I'^ebruary  1. 
Other  activities  will  be  arranged  as  soon  as  the  Freshman  Comi- 
cil finishes  analyzing  the  results  of  the  Freshman  Questionnaire, 
which  was  discussed  at  last  night's  meeting  of  the  council. 
/•>(»7i  in  Adelphic  Union 

Nearly  twenty  freshmen  have  shown  interest  in  debating  as 
members  of  the  Adelphic  Union.  A  four-man  committee  with 
Harvey  Carter  '60,  as  chairman  is  going  forward  with  a  three- 
point  [irogram  for  this  semester  and  next.  Tlieir  most  immediate 
l)lan  is  for  a  triangular  debate  between  the  three  freshman  dor- 
mitories in  an  effort  to  increase  interest  in  the  .Vdelphic  Union 
among  the  class  of  '60.  They  also  hojie  to  schedule  numerous  de- 
bates with  New  England  jirep  schools  dining  the  winter  tenn. 
The  last  and  most  ambiguous  point  in  the  ]5rogram  is  an  invita- 
tion tournament  for  secondary  schools  to  be  held  here  early  in 
the  sjiring  term.  It  is  hoped  that  the  tournament  will  become  an 
annual  affair. 

Although  the  freshmen  of  the  WCC  have  no  formal  organi- 
zation several  helped  with  last  weekend's  Haystack  Conference. 
Elections  will  be  held  shortly  among  the  freshmen  for  five  rep- 
resentatives to  the  WCC  board.

tices of  the  eighteenth  century 
theatre.  Within  the  main  body  of 
the  comedy  is  a  mock  tragedy  pro- 
duced by  one  of  the  characters,

during  the  play.  The  elaborate 
scenery  is  being  done  by  Mrs. 
Frank  Gifford  and  a  special  dance 
by  Mrs.  Dewey. 

Mr.  Playfair  commented,  "This 
play  is  not  only  an  uproariously 
funny  comedy,  but  also  a  produc- 
tion designed  to  entertain  the  au- 
dience in  numerous  other  ways."

Mr.  Peter  Welanetz,  superinten- 
dent of  grounds  and  buildings,  will 
move  his  department  from  the  Old 
Faculty  Club  to  Mr.  Renzi's  pres-

pulling  away  to  a  57-47  lead  at  the 
end  of  three  periods.  Union  went 
into  a  pressing  man-to-man  de- 
fense at  this  stage  which  forced 
the  Ephs  to  make  many  mistakes, 
and  the  visitors  came  roaring  back 
to  tie  the  score,  62-62,  at  the  four- 
minute  mark.  Marv  Weinstein's 
jump  shot  put  Williams  ahead,  but 
Union  dropped  three  foul  shots  to 
take  the  lead.  Phil  Brown's 
two  free  throws  temporarily  put 
the  Ephs  in  front  at  66-65,  but 
Baum's  three-point  play  boosted 
the  Garnets  ahead  to  stay.  Four 
Williams  starters  fouled  out  in  the 
dying  minutes  of  the  game. 

Sophmore  center  Jeff  Morton 
led  the  Purple  scoring  with  16

Saturday,  Dec.  8  —  Radio  sta- 
tion WMS  now  expects  to  go  on 
the  air  officially  as  an  F.M.  station 
on  January  7,  1957.  The  reason 
for  the  delay,  according  to  Fred 
Winston,  publicity  director,  is  that 
the  transmitter  and  anterma  did 
not  arrive  on  schedule. 

Barring  unforeseen  delay,  the 
transmitter  and  antenna  will  ar- 
rive sometime  next  week  and  will 
be  installed  immediately.  Before 
the  station  can  go  on  the  air  offi- 
cially, the  equipment  must  be  in- 
spected by  the  Federal  Communi- 
cations Commission.  There  will  be 
periods  of  testing  before  January 
7  during  which  the  station  will  be 
operating  on  F.M. 

Other  Operations  Complete 

All  other  preparations  for  the 
switch  to  F.M.  have  been  comple- 
ted. A  new  tape  recorder,  the  gift 
of  WBZ,  the  Westinghouse  con- 
trolled station  in  Boston,  has  al- 
ready been  installed. 

Charlie  Gibson,  president  of 
WMS,  urged  all  students  to  make 
sure  that  they  have  theh-  F.M.  tu- 
ners in  time  for  the  opening  of  the 
new  facilities.  He  suggested  that 
the  tuners  would  make  excellent 
Christmas  presents  for  parents  to 
give  their  sons.

A  PLEASANT  PRESENT  like  cartons  of  Luckies  can  make  /l}' 
a  dolly  jolly  or  a  pappy  happy.  And  they're  just  the 
things  to  cheer  up  a  glum  chum  or  a  gloomy  roomie. 
So  the  guy  who  gives  loads  of  Luckies,  of  course,  is  a 
Proper  Shopper.  He  appreciates  Luckies'  better  taste— 
the  taste  of  mild,  good-tasting  tobacco  that's  TOASTED 
to  taste  even  better— and  he  knows  others  appreciate 
it,  too.  How  'bout  you?  Give  loads  of  Luckies  yourself!

Alumni  Fund  Director  Charles 
Hall  announces  that  the  campaign 
is  well  undeiway  at  the  midpoint 
toward  it,s  $200,000  goal.  This 
traditional  campaign  was  started 
in  1919  as  the  Loyalty  Fund  when 
Williams  was  in  financial  straits. 

Each  class  from  1907  on  has  an 
agent  and  as.sociale  agents  who 
direct  the  Alumni  Fund  campaign 
in  their  classes.  The  174  agents 
and  associate  agents  are  usually 
replaced  every  five  yea:s  by  otlier 
alumni.  The  success  of  this  sys- 
tem was  shown  in  last  year's  drive 
by  Ihe  contribution  from  over  47 
per  cent  of  WiUiams'  living  alum- 
ni. 

Trustees   Allocate   Funds 

The  money  from  the  campaign 
is  given  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 
to  be  spent  as  they  see  fit.  A 
large  part  of  the  funds  will  be 
used  to  increase  faculty  salaries 
and  release  more  money  for  stu- 
dent .scholarships. 

Also  included  in  the  Alumni 
Fund  are  the  Parents  and  Fiiends 
funds.  The  Parents  Fund  consists 
of  donations  from  parents  of  Wil- 
liams students  while  the  Friends 
Fund  receives  contributions  from 
anyone  interested  in  the  welfare 
of  the  college. 

As  of  December  10.  2.474  alum- 
ni have  contributed  $97,200  and 
the  other  funds  have  added  $26. 
237  to  the  campaign  for  a  total 
of  $123,437. 


Monday,  Dec,  10  -  The  Williams 
College  Lecture  Committee  pre- 
sented a  lecture  on  the  "Boswell 
Papers"  by  Fiedrick  K,  Pottle  in 
the  Thompson  Biology  Laboratory 
last  Monday  night.  Mr.  Pottle  is 
co-editor  of  several  volumes  of  the 
'Boswell    Papers". 

Mr.  Pottle  began  his  lecture  by 
stating  that  many  of  the  cla.s.sics 
have  been  revised  in  the  light  of 
present  day  thinking.  However, 
he  went  on  to  .say  that  the  "Bos- 
well Papers"  have  not  changed 
critics'  views  of  Boswell's  charac- 
ter or  of  his  works. 

Found  Seven  Years  Ago 

Seven  years  ago  many  of  Bos- 
well's papers  were  found  and 
brought  to  Yale  University.  These 
papers  included  Boswell's  Con- 
fessional Journal,  which  covers 
every  day  of  his  life  from  the 
time  he  was  eighteen  until  his 
death  at  fifty-five:  liis  memoran- 
da, which  were  notes  to  himself; 
his  registers  of  letters:  his  regis- 
ter of  visitors  and  liqueurs,  in 
which  he  noted  whom  his  visitors 
were  and  what  and  how  much 
they  drank  duiing  their  visit;  and 
some  of  his  manuscripUs,  such  as 
"Tlie  Count  of  Corsica  and  the 
"Life  of  Samuel  Johnson". 

"In  the  light  of  the  "Boswell 
Papers",  does  Boswell  seem  to  be 
a  different  man?"  queried  Mr. 
Pottle.  He  said  that  although  the 
papers  do  tell  a  lot  about  Bos- 
well's childhood  and  youth  they 
don't  change  the  critics'  concep- 
tion of  Boswell's  character. 
A  Paradoxical  Person 

Mr.  Poliic  went,  on  to  stale  that 
James  Boswell's  character  seems 
paradoxical.  As  examples  of  this 
he  stated  that:  Boswell  was  an 
extremely  devout  person,  while  at 
the  same  time  a  noble  fornicator; 
he  was  weak  of  will,  yet  he  stayed 
up  for  four  straight  nights  to  re- 
cord conversations  which  he  had 
with  Samuel  Johnson;  he  loved 
Scotland  very  dearly,  but  liked  to 
live  in  England:  he  was  a  fool  in 
many  things,  yet  not  a  fool.  In 
regard  to  this  last  paradox,  Mr.

Refugee  Relief  Drive 
Goes  Into  Final  Day 


Satuiday.  Dec.  15  -  The  RE- 
CORD Fund  Drive  for  the  Re- 
lief of  Hungarian  Refugees 
goes  into  its  last  official  day 
this  morning  with  the  possi- 
bility of  reaching  a  total  of 
clo.se  to  $1000.  As  of  Thursday 
night,  the  midpoint  of  the 
drive,  several  houses  had  re- 
ported near  100  per  cent  con- 
tribution, as  well  as  at  least 
one  entry  in  the  Freshman 
Quad.  Frosh  Quad  chairman 
Dave  Sims  estimated  that  the 
cla.ss  total  should  Irit  about 
$250.  Faculty  donations  were 
just  beginning  to  come  in  at 
this  point. 

The  RECORD  wishes  to 
thank  all  those  staff  members. 
WCC  volunteers  and  others  who 
have  lent  a  liand  in  the  cam- 
paign, as  well  as  all  those  who 
have    contiibuted. 


Class  Questionnaires  Display  Imagination; 
Freshman  Council  Weighs  Their  Proposals 


Tuesday,  December  11  --  Al  .Martin's  Committee  on  <iucstion- 
iiaires  made  its  re])ort  to  tlie  Kresliman  Council  toiiij^ht.  Tin's  Com- 
mittee has  been  working  for  two  weeks  coinpiliiij^  the  results  from 
the  23.5  ((uestioiinaires  which  were  received  Irom  the  class. 

Dean  l.ainson,  who  was  present  at  the  meetin;;,  remarked 
to  the  council  that  he  thouf^ht  the  undertaking  had  been  highly 
successful,  as  judged  from  the  interesting  and  important  questions 
that  were  asked  and  from  the  serious  and  pertinant  answers  which 

were  gi\eii.  He  said  that  not  oiilv  would  the  council  profit  by  the 
C  opinions  expressed,  but  the  ad- 
ministration   would   find   the   re- 


The  RECORD  staff  is  forced, 
by  the  operational  inconveni- 
ence of  having  no  one  here  to 
put  it  out  over  Christmas  va- 
cation, to  suspend  publication 
of  its  hallowed  journal  until 
Wednesday,  January  9,  1957. 
We  tiust  that  everyone  awaits 
this  date  with  eager  anticipa- 
tion. Merry  Xmas  .  .  .

Foreign  Students  To  Plan 
International  Weekend 


Saturday.  Dec.  15  -  Plans  are 
underway  for  Williams'  first  In- 
ternational Students'  'Weekend  on 
February  9  and  10.  with  Krishna 
Menon  as  the  po.ssible  guest  speak- 
er. Abdul  Wohabe  has  gotten  a 
tentative  okay  from  Mr.  Menon's 
publicity  director  at  the  tJN. 

Wohabe  revealed  that  the  idea 
of  an  International  gathering  at 
Williams  of  foreign  students  from 
New  England  Colleges  had  first 
been  brought  up  at  a  meeting 
last  Monday  of  the  foreign  stu- 
dents with  their  faculty  adviser, 
Mr.  Pete  Pelham.  Mr.  Pelham's 
enthusiastic  endorsement  of  the 
proposal  encouraged  the  foreign 
students  to  put  the  matter  to  the 
International  Relations  Club, 
which  has  agreed  to  sponsor  thr 
weekend. 

Nearly  every  college  in  New 
England  but  Williams  has  an  an- 
nual foreign  students'  conference 
of  this  kind,  pointed  out  Wohabe 
He  added.  "I  know  many  foreign 
students  whom  I  have  met  at 
similar  weekends  at  the  University 
of  Massachusetts  last  year  and  at 
Smith  last  week,  who  have  Indi- 
cated to  me  that  they  would  be 
very  interested  in  attending  such 
a  gathering  here  if  one  were  or- 
ganized." 

Wohabe  stressed  that  the  suc- 
cess of  such  a  weekend  would  de- 
pend on  the  cooperation  of  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  townspeople. 
Fraternities  will  be  asked  to  ac- 
commodate male  delegates,  while 
faculty  and  townspeople  would  be 
urged  to  perform  a  similar  office 
for  the  girls. 


SC  Protests  Severity  Of  Student-Faculty 
Proposal  On  Curbing  Hell  Week  Hazing 

Tuesday,  Dec.  11  -  The  Social  Council  \oted  tonight  to  sub- 
mit to  the  administration  its  watered-down  version  of  the  Stu- 
dent-Faculty proposal  to  curb  Hell  Week  hazing. 

Protesting  the  se\erity  of  the  original  proposal,  the  house  (ire- 
sidents  are  now  recommending  to  the  administration  that  control 
of  flell  Week  activities  l)c>  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  individual 
houses  and  not  to  a  special  ""atehdog"  student-facultv  committee 
which  was  included  in  the  original  Discipline  Committee  sug- 
gestion. 

Ailiiiiiiistnilioii  Enforcement 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  Social  (;ouiicil  |>roposal,  the 
Discipline  Coniinittee  would  judge  all  violations  and  recommend 
jiroper  punishment  where  merited  to  the  adiiiinistratioii.  Other 
curbs  on  Hell  Week  hazing  backed  by  the  Council  include  limiting 
all  activities  except  tor  comniunity  aid  ])rojeets  to  the  house  and 
its  grounds  and  to  only  the  last  three  days  before  initiation. 

Aeknovyledgiug  that  flell  Week  has  the  coustructiye  adyan- 
tages  of  developing  pledge  class  unity,  knowledge  of  college  and 
fraternity  eulhire  and  improvement  ol  undesirable  traits  in 
jiledges  through  coustructiye  criticism,  the  house  presidents  de- 
fined illegal  hazing  as  activities  which  may  result  in  personal  in- 
jury, public  indignation  or  serious  loss  of  time  from  academic  work 
for  the  jjledges. 

Winter  Howieparlies 
In    other   action    the   Council    authorized   the   hiring   of   two 
bands   for   the  big   Friday  night  dance   at   Winter   Houseparties 
Feb.  22-24.  Elliott  Lawrence  and  .\rville  Shaw  will  ]ilay  upstairs 
and  downstairs  respectively  at  the  baxter  Hall  affair. 

Rei  Cross  Bloodmobile  Receives 
233  Pints;  D.  V.  Leads  Houses 

Saturday,  IDec.  1.5  -  The  Red  taoss  bloodmobile  unit  operat- 
ing in  Williamstowu  last  Wednesday  and  Thursday.  December  12 
and  1:3,  collected  2:33  pints  of  blood.  IST  of  them  from  Williams 
students.  21  towns|3eoi)le  and  5  faculty  members  also  donated. 


Pat  Marshall  sheds  blood  Wednesday  afternoon  in  the  Congre- 
gational Infirmary. 

In  the  blood-bowl  contest  among  the  fraternities  Delta  Upsi- 
lon  co])iH-d  top  honors  with  a  total  contribution  of  24  pints.  A.D. 
with  1  /  (jints  was  second,  followed  bv  Theta  Delt  and  St.  .\n- 
thony's  with  12  each.  38  freshmen  and  19  non-affiliates  also  con- 
tributed. 

The  l>loodmobile  unit  centered  its  operations  at  the  Congre- 
gational Church.  The  staff  included  six  full-time  Hed  Cross  nurses 
and  two  custodians.  Seyeral  Doctors  from  Williamstovyn  volun- 
teered their  services  as  did  nmnerous  women  from  the  community. 
The  donors  found  that  it  took  from  45  minutes  to  an  hour  to  com- 
Iilete  the  entire  operation.  The  two-day  clinic  was  completed 
without  a  single  serious  reaction. 

The  total  of  233  pints  is  excellent,  but  it  fell  20()  short  of  the 
record  of  433,  set  in  1951  during  tlie  Korean  War. 


suits  valuable,  also,  especially  in 
the  matter  of  freshman  orienta- 
tion week. 

Council  to  Act 
President  Ron  Stegall  armounc- 
ed  that  action  would  be  taken  on 
as  many  of  these  topics  as  pos- 
sible this  year.  He  expressed  the 
hope  that  other  bodies  of  authori- 
ty would  consider  the  results  of 
the  poll. 

The  questionnaire,  itself,  brought 
out  several  interesting,  unique 
and  surprising  answers  from  the 
class.  Some  general  suggestions 
for  improving  the  cla&s  and  the 
whole  college  were  a  charitable 
project  to  be  carried  out  by  the 
class  as  a  whole,  closer  communi- 
cation between  the  council  and 
the  class,  a  more  mature  attitude 
on  drinking  and  permissions  like 
room  hours  on  weekends,  and 
sophomore  driving  permission. 
Want  Controlled  Hazing 
Two  results  were  quite  relevant 
to  recent  action  taken  by  the 
school  discipline  committee.  The 
freshmen  wish  to  have  represen- 
tation on  the  discipline  committee, 
and  were  in  favor  of  controlling 
or  even  abolishing  Hell  Week. 

The  frosh  also  came  up  with 
several  ideas  for  future  social  e- 
vents,  such  as  a  skating  party,  ski 
trip,  sleigh  ride,  tournaments,  and 
even  a  Sadie  Hawkin's  day  with 
Bennington.  The  class  ■was  in  fa- 
vor of  selling  tickets  to  the  vari- 
ous class  functions  or  levying  a 
general  tax  in  order  to  raise  mon- 
ey, and  a  unique  idea  of  a  fresh- 
man slave  sale  to  upperclassmen 
was  also  mentioned. 

Orientation  Fair 
The  class  thought  that  fresh- 
man orientation  week  was  fair  to 
poor,  and  suggested  that  a  lecture 
on  the  traditions  of  the  college 
including  a  teaching  of  the  school 
songs,  a  talk  on  freshman  prob- 
lems, professor  speeches  on  mark- 
ing, studying  and  class  work,  and 
a  planned  entertainment  might 
make  the  week  more  pleasant.  An 
efficient  book  co-op  was  also  men- 
tioned.

Disrupts  Quiet  Month  At  Williams 


All  College  Revue 


The  members  of  the  All-College  Mnsical  Committee  lia\  e  be- 
gun to  resurrect  tor  Williams  a  lost  tradition.  It  has  been  fi\e 
years  since  the  last  student  written  and  produced  mnsical  comedy 
played  to  cnthnsiastic  andiences  at  the  .\dains  Memorial  Theatre. 
Now,  a  group  of  interested  and  talented  men  lia\e  taken  the  ini- 
tiative in  re\'i\ing  interest  for  |)opnlar  snp])ort  of  a  production  in 
the  name  of  Williams  College  clone  In-  a  large  mnnber  of  students 
representative  of  the  College. 

If  thc\'  arc  to  succeed  in  making  this  a  trnlv  all-college  show. 
the  .students  must  support  them.  llowe\er  trite  this  statement  may 
seem,  its  importance  caimot  be  o\erstated.  \u  All-College  Musi- 
cal represents  and  includes  the  whole  school. 

The  committee  has  scheduled  auditions  for  this  tradition- 
setting  production  Monday  ewning  at  the  theatre.  It  is  to  be  a 
show  with  original  nmsic  and  dialogue  and  choreography.  \  for- 
mat centering  about  the  "Search  lor  the  Perfect  Woman"  has  been 
written  by  the  committee  members.  Dialogue  is  being  written. 
Music  is  being  eompo.scd  and  arranged.  It  remains  for  auditions 
to  provide  the  writers  and  composers  with  the  \ast  poti'utial 
present  in  the  Williajns  undergraduate  body  to  put  the  sliow  across 
with  the  greatest  possible  success. 

The  Musical  can  be  a  liit.  With  the  )iartici])ation  of  ewrvone 
who  is  interested,  it  eaimot  miss.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 


To  the  Editors  of  the  KECOliD; 

The  suggestion  for  a  rcferendimi  made  by  the  RE(>ORD  in 
its  December  12tli  issue  was  well  receixed  by  its  antl  we  woidd 
have  welcomed  the  ojiportunity  to  put  oiu'  proposal  before  the 
student  body.  However,  at  its  Deci'inber  11th  niceting,  the  S.C 
approved,  iinanimouslv,  a  proposal  to  be  brought  before  each 
bouse  which,  for  all  practical  purposes  and  intentioirs,  is  \astlv 
similar  to  our  proposal  with  die  e.\ce|)tion  of  the  clause  that, 
"pre-initiation  activitii'S  other  than  coinmnnitv-aid  projects  are 
to  be  restricted  to  die  house  and  its  groimds".  .-Mthough  the  ac- 
tives and  initiates  of  Delta  Upsilon  feel  that  trips  such  as  the  one 
we  had  diis  year  are  of  great  worth,  we  mirst  bow  to  an  over- 
whelming sentiment  against  this  practice. 

We  feel  that  a  referendum  would  only  confnse  the  issue  by 
presenting  to  the  student  body  a  proposal  so  similar  to  one  on 
which  they  wonld  lia\'e  already  voted  and  therefore  suggest  that 
such  a  referendum  not  be  held,  but  rather  that  the  student  body 
unite  behind  and  approve  S.CJ.  jiroposal.

LETTER  TO  THE  tOITOR 


To  the  Editor  of  the  RECORD: 

Your  issue  today  ( December  1 )  carried  an  accoimt  of  the 
Amherst  game  which  was  eoni]5lete  with  the  exception  of  your 
omission  of  one  of  the  more  important  events  of  the  game.  Al- 
though you  ran  a  picture  of  the  capture  of  the  goalposts,  yon  ne- 
glected to  cri'dit  the  Class  of  1960,  either  in  the  caption  or  the 
story  itself.  The  Freshman  class  had  recei\("d  some  criticism  for 
its  lack  of  spirit  at  the  Wesleyan  encoiniter  but  the  class  removed 
the  first  goalpost  on  Pratt  Field  in  one  and  one-half  seconds— the 
shortest  time  c\er  reported  .  .  .  Wc  ask  that  some  ciedit  be  giv- 
en this  accomplishment. 

Ted  Castle,  '60 

Editor's  Note: 

The  RECORD  apologizes  for  the  oversight  and  belatedly  of- 
fers its  congratulations  to  the  Class  of  '60  for  their  record  tiine 
demolition  job.

liil  Ddvr  iihiff 

•Saturday,  Dec  15  -  In  earlv  December  of  19-11  many  of  the 
piesent  topics  of  conversation  at  \Villiams  were  the  same;  Willianrs 
iwid  crushed  Amherst  in  football  for  the  Little  Three  title  the  past 
fall,  students  still  lookeil  forward  to  the  weekend  and  leminiue 
companionship,  people  still  argued  about  rushing,  "Hell  Week  . 
and  fraternities  in  general.  Soine  of  the  notable  deviations  Irom 
the  present  status  were  a  war  with  Cermauy,  the  absence  ol  Presi- 
dent Ra.xter  who  was  serving  in  Washington  in  the  key  position  ol 
Director  of  Research  and  Ai'ialysis  of  the'  govermneut's  hiformaliou 
Department,  the  presence  of  i{iehard  A.  Newhall  as  acting  Presi- 
dent of  Williams,  Professor  Sclunnan  predicting  an  iui'\  ilable  war 
with  |apan,  and  a  Smith  girl  narrowly  escaping  injiuy  from  an 
ambulance  roaring  up  Ho.xey  Street  during  a  mock  air  raid. 

Although  the  Williams'  conversation  was  mucli  the  same, 
there  was  an  undercurrent  of  apprehension  over  the  Clerman  \yar 
that  niauifcsted  itself  in  nnnierons  lectures  on  the  world  situation 
by  noted  authorities  and  plans  for  major  exams  in  February  lor  the 
seniors  who  were  faced  with  the  draft  on  their  graduation.  The 
campus  was  awakenjng  rapidly  to  die  gravity  of  the  war,  but  the 
war  feeling  of  early  December  was  nothing  to  the  wave  of  fervor 
that  was  to  engulf  the  college  on  December  7th,  1941. 

Cainiiim  Shaken  hij  Paul  Harbor 

Many  Williams'  men  were  returning  from  die  Charity  Ball  at 
.Smith  on  that  unforgettable  Sunday  afternoon  when  the  news 
broke  that  Japan  bad' bombed  Pearl  Harbor.  Like  every  other  pa- 
per in  the  country,  the  R(  cord's  front  page  .screamed  of  W.'Ml  on 
the  following  NUinday.  while  the  editorial  column  th;it  day  pro- 
claimed —  "Gentlemen:  It  is  here! ' 

Most  of  die  students  anticiixited  the  impact  diat  World  war 
woidd  have  on  them,  and  ther<'  was  talk  about  the  fntine  and  the 
role  Williams'  men  wonld  plav  in  the  war.  The  Selective  Service 
Board  announced  a  survey  of  the  college  to  check  Draft  registrants. 
.\  two  ear  caravan  was  on  its  vvav  to  the  Capitol  to  hear  President 
Hoosevcit  speak  to  the  Clongress  and  call  lor  the  inev  itable  decla- 
ration of  war  on  japan.  These  students  had  spent  most  of  Sunday 
evening  frantically  calling  influential  men  on  the  East  Coast  to 
secure  |)as.ses  to  the  Congressional  .session,  finally  leaving  with  no 
assnranei'  of  even  obtaining  admission.  This  was  tv|)ical  ol  the  in- 
terest the  Japanese  attack  had  stirred  u])  in  the  peaeetui  v  illage. 

Sliulciils  Wanu'cl  .\g(i//i.v/  War  llijstcria 

\  college  war  asseinbly  was  held  in  which  the  students  were 
advised  to  stick  to  their  jobs  here  at  least  until  the  nation  calls 
them.  President  Baxter  and  acting  President  Newhall  echoed  this 
ad\  ice  to  the  students  rendered  by  a  faculty  panel.  In  the  words  ol 
President  Baxter;  "Williams  men  will  respond  with  the  same  con- 
rage  and  sense  of  res])onsibilitv  shown  in  previous  wars.  Ther<' 
will  be  i)lciity  of  opportmiity  to  .serve  with  the  colors  at  the  a])- 
]iropriate  time". 

A  group  of  enterprising  frosh  opened  up  the  office  of  the  Col- 
lege War  Bulletin  in  a  vacant  room  in  Williams.  Keeping  a  20 
hour  watch  on  radio  broadcasts,  they  traced  thi'  progress  ol  the 
war  on  maps  and  issued  their  bull"'ins  of  important  war  news  with 
the  C^ollege  Advisor.  The  goveriunent  put  a  ban  on  student  living 
calling  for  student  flyers  to  register  with  the  government  in  order 
to  resume  dicir  flying.  The  Flying  Club  pre])arcd  to  ready  cadets 
h)r  service  with  Uncle  Sam.  The  UFtX)RD  came  up  with  an  eve- 
witness  account  of  the  President's  war  spci'ch  to  (Jongicss.  \  cou- 
ple of  students  had  gained  entry  into  die  Congress  after  all,  while 
odiers  enjoyed  a  hectic  ride  to  Washington. 

Initia}  Excitcmenl  Sul)sicle.s- 

Reflecting  the  attitude  of  the  whole  country,  Williams  turned 
to  stcjis  conducive  to  the  war  effort.  /\moiig  these  was  a  general 
effort  to  cut  down  expenses  within  die  fraternities,  by  the  school 
itself,  and  by  the  students  personally.  Faculty  talks  were  planned 
for  the  new  year  to  keep  the  cani|)us  intelligently  inlormed  about 
the  war.  The  Record  was  cut  to  a  weekly.  The  (acuity  maele  spe- 
culations on  a  summer  sessiim.  .V  college  bond  drive  was  :ictivclv 
underway. 

Williams  was  war  conscious  and  mindful  of  its  responsibility, 
but  the  wheels  of  education  continued  to  turn,  .Mthough  a  grim 
World  War  east  its  shadow  over  the  campus,  the  Williams  com- 
munity took  cognizance  of  it  with  most  of  the  college  functions 
continuing  to  run  their  normal  path.  Students  still  were  interested 
in  basketball,  getting  a  yearbook  out  dcsjiite  paper  and  metal 
.shortages,  dating  widi  neighboring  colleges,  and  leaving  for  (Christ- 
mas vacation.  December  was  an  eventful  month  at  Williams  in 
1941  as  it  was  the  world  over  .  .  . 


SULTRY  SCENE  WITH  THE  HOUSE-PARTY  QUEEN 

She  sat  next  to  me  on  the  train  that  day 

And  a  wave  of  perfume  wafted  my  way 
— A  dangerous  scent  that  is  called  "I'm  Bad!" 

Deliberately  made  to  drive  men  mad. 
I  tried  to  tfiink  thoughts  that  were  pure  and  good 

I  did  the  very  best  that  I  could! 
But  alas,  that  perfume  was  stronger  than  I 

I  gave  her  a  kiss  . . .  and  got  a  black  eye! 

If  kissing  strangers  has  its  dangers,  in 
smoking  at  least  enjoy  the  real  thing,  the 
big,  big  pleasure  of  a  Chesterfield  King! 
Big  .ai^e,  big  flavor,  smoother 
all  the  way  because  it's  packed 
more  smoothly  by  Accu^Rcqr.

for  The  Playgoer  At  Christmas-tide 

Hi/  John  Drew  lyNcitl 

Well,  then,  the  promised  hour  has  come  at  last  -  or  nearly 
come;  Christmas  is  again  at  our  throats,  And  the  Record  has  a^iiji, 
asked  me  to  concoct  a  hantly  guide  to  the  cnrr<>iit  New  York  IIm-.,. 
tie  hir  those  Williams  men  who,  presumably  exhausted  by  \\^^, 
seasonal  demands  upon  their  small  supply  of  good  will  tovvnds 
men  and  tlepr<'ss<'d  by  inspissated  commercial  cheer,  feel  (lik<.  1),.. 
lohiisoii  alter  reading  Paradise  Lost)  harassed  and  overburdrnrd 
and  inclined  to  look  elsewhere  h>r  recreation. 

lieciealiou  in  the  theatre  is  to  be  bad  -  at  u  price.  Most  ol  Mic 
shows  that  everybody  wants  most  to  see  are  virtually  inat'cess  !,|(. 
to  tlie  eonmion  man,  and  unless  yon  have  eoiuieelioiis  with  a  liij; 
expeiise-aecount-type  executive  Iroiii  Madison  Avenue  or  are  pic- 
pared  to  line  np  in  a  staiiding-room  (iiieue  at  about  :5;(K)  .\M,  („  to 
pay  sealpi'is'  prices,  you  just  aren't  going  to  see  the  big  hits.  Tlif 
fundamental  idiocy  of  our  hil-or-bnst  <eoiioiuy  in  show  busiii  ss 
has  never  been  more  apparent  than  it  is  this  year.  Time  was  wl..ii 
1  could  suggest  that  vaeationeis  whose  hopes  had  been  disappoiil- 
ed  at  the  Broadway  box-offices  might  turn  their  attention  to  tliM^. 
earnest  little  "olf-Broadwav"  enterprises  in  remote  corners  of  llie 
town,  where  dedicateil  pi'ople  put  on  plavs  that  the  uplovvu  ni.ni- 
agers  wouldn't  touch  and  where  a  seat  could  be  had  at  the  di  >|) 
of  a  dollar  with  no  advanie  planning  at  all  Even  this  resort  is  m 
longer  available  to  the  degree  that  it  was  five  years  ago.  Soiin  of 
the  toughest  tickets  in  town  are  off- Broadway  (since  snine  of  im' 
best  shows  are  diere,  and  tliev  have  found  a  iiublic).  With  this  ■if- 
pressing  caveal  let  me  iiierely  list  the  shows  that  /  would  trv  Im- 
(or  that  1  have  seen)' 

All  interesting  feature  of  the  season  is  the  number  ol  oue-iii,,ii, 
or  more  pi()|3erly  one-woman,  shows  —  by  which  1  mean  shows  of 
mediocre  (jualitv  which  are  held  together  and  put  over  by  I  he 
dominating  presence  of  one  great  star.  Ho/.  Russell  cavorts  i  n- 
chantinglv  tluough  ".\untie  Maiiu'",  a  puff-hall  of  a  .script  if  tlnrc 
ever  was  One.  Ktliel  (the  Creat)  Merman  knocks  herself  out  m 
"Happy  Hunting",  a  rather  tired  re-write  ol  the  "Call  Me  Mad. in" 
kind  iif  topical  situation  uinsiial  vvliieb  even  she  can't  (|uite  lift  o|| 
the  ground.  |udv  llolliday  makes  "The  Bells  .\ie  Hinging"  a  |uv, 
simplv  by  dint  of  her  great  acting  ;uid  her  iudestruelihie  chaiiii. 
This  is  one  r<l  give  a  lot  to  .see  (I'm  told  that  a  lew  seals  can  lie 
had  for  .\pril,  1957).  .Vs  we  seem  to  be  on  iiiusieals.  I  can  reeoiii- 
mend  "New  I'aees"  and  "Shoestring  '.57",  an  oll-Broadwav  id  in 
that  proved  good  enough  to  stir  Wolcolt  Cibbs  out  ol  his  une.isv 
chair  at  the  .Vcie  Yorker  office  and  review  it  (praelicallv  a  rave, 
too).  Conflicting  reports  have  reached  me  about  the  other  two  hi'.; 
musicals  of  the  new  season,  'l.i'l  Ahuer"  and  "Candide".  I'm  iiul 
going  to  trv  v  erv  hard  for  either.  'I'he  loriuer  is  a  lavish  spietacuku, 
stripped  of  the  tart  satire  that  makes  ,\l  Cap|)'s  comic  strip  inoie 
than  a  mere  billbillv  holiday.  I  was  ueivons  aiiinit  "Candide"  Irom 
the  start  when  I  he;ird  that  l.illi:ui  Ilellniaii  was  the  librettist,  and 
my  fears  appear  to  have  been  well  foinided;  she  seems  to  have  gut- 
ten  N'oltaire  by  the  scruff  of  the  n<ek  with  her  heavy  (though  skill- 
ed) hand,  and  the  result  adds  to  the  gaietv  ol  nations. 

The  most  interesting  aspect  of  the  "legit  "  this  season  is  the 
astonishing  posthumous  eoumieieiid  siueess  ol  two  gri'at  modern 
dramatists  —  (ieorge  Bernard  Shaw  and  F.ugeiie  O'Neill.  "Down 
among  tlu'  Dead  Men"  might  well  be  the  title  ol  this  part  ol  iiiv 
essay.  O'Neill.  I  luisten  to  sav,  has  always  been  a  trial  to  me:  but 
his  "l.niig  Days  |onriiev  into  Night  "  w:is  a  trial  that  I  am  glad  tn 
have  undergone.  It  is  a  perfectly  stunning  theatrical  experience, 
largely  owing  to  the  perforin:mce  of  l'"red<'rie  March  and  the  tvvii 
young  actors  who  plav  bis  sons.  Florence  Eldridge  does  a  virtuous 
|ob  as  the  mother,  and  it  she  isn  t  in  the  same  league  with  the  ini'ii 
its  bee;iuse  ONeill  has  not  wrillen  her  a  real  part.  |ose  ynintein 
has  directed  the  show  most  brilli:uitK'.  as  he  had  previously  done 
with  "The  Iceman  Coiiu'tb  ".  which  is  a  solid  hit  ;it  the  Circle  in  llie 
S(|uaie.  So.  on  and  off  Broadway.  O'Neill  is  back  to  stay. 

.\s  for  Shaw,  he  has  two  hits  on   Bro;ulwav— "Major  Barb:u.i 

and  "The  .\pple  Cart"  and  a  Village  outfit  is  going  to  do  ".\rms  and 

the  Man"  and  "In  Cood  King  Ch:ules'  (Jolden  Days"  next  monlh.

Face    Hamilton    Here    Ephmen    Compete   Today 
In   Tuesday   Contest         '"    Franconia    Contest 


Sulurday,  Dec.  15  -  Tlie  Varsity 
hockey  team  will  be  out  lo  avenye 
a  4-3  loss  to  Dartmouth  last  year 
a.s  they  meet  the  Green  today  in 
Rye,  N.Y.  The  team  then  :tLurns 
to  home  Ki'ounds  to  face  Hamilton 
Tue.sday  with  the  hope  of  even- 
ing the  sea.son's  record  at  2-2  af- 
ter losses  to  Yale  and  .Northeas- 
tern. 

narlmouih  .Strong 

Dartmoith  can  boast  of  a  re- 
cent w-ln  over  No:wich  and  a 
strong  nucleus  of  returninii  let- 
termen.  Tliey  also  had  an  excep- 
tionally slroni,'  freshman  team 
last  year  and  the  material  return- 
iiiK  f:om  that  .squad  greatly  bol- 
sters the  Green's  depth.  However, 
Dartmouth  will  miss  the  services 
of  their  last  yeai-'s  captain.  Ab- 
ner  Oakes.  who  was  also  one  of 
their  leading  .scorers. 

Hamilton  lost  to  the  Ephs  last 
year,  7-3.  and  the  Purple  are  op- 
timistic about  repeating  again  this 
year.  Tlie  Clintonites.  though  they 
lost  their  last  year's  Captain,  Pick- 
ering, do  have  both  of  their  lend- 
ing .scorers  from  last  year  eturn- 
ing  and  they  are  able  to  play 
freshmen  which  gives  them  a  good 
deal  of  depth. 

Mct'ormick  Optimistic 

Hockey  coach.  Bill  McCormick. 
is  optimistic  about  his  team's 
chances  against  the.sc  two  rivals. 
He  calls  botli  games  "fairly  even" 
with  the  Daitmouth  contesi  ? 
"toss  up".  His  one  main  com- 
ment was.  "We  have  lost  our  first 
two  games  this  year  but  this  cer- 
tainly hasn't  hurt  the  team  spirit. 
We  hope  that  we  can  outhustle 
Dartmouth  and  Hamilton  and 
thougli  I  think  that  both  games 
can  go  either  way.  I  think  the 
team  can  take  both  contests."

Saturday,  Dec.  15  -  Under  the 
direction  of  Coach  Ralph  Town- 
.send,  the  Williams  Ski  Team  opens 
its  .season  today  at  the  anntal 
Meet  in  Franconia.  New  Hamp- 
shire. This  is  an  open  affair  and 
awards  will  be  given  on  an  indi- 
vidual rather  than  a  team  basis 
for  the  th;ee  events.  The  Grand 
Slalom  will  be  run  this  afternoon. 
Jumping  tomori'ow  morning  and 
Cruss-Country  tomorrow  after- 
noon. 

Led  by  co-captains  Pete  Elbow 
and  Hugh  Claik.  who  will  enter 
all  three  events,  the  men  whom 
Townsend  cites  as  Williams'  best 
cliances  are  Chip  Wright  and  Jim 
Becket  in  the  Gi-and  Slalom.  Tony 
Smith  and  Elbow  in  the  Jumping, 
and  Elbow,  Clark,  and  Fisher  in 
the  Cross-Country.  Fisher  is  a 
promising  prospect  from  last 
year's  freshman  squad,  while  the 
others  were  all  varsity  member.s 
last  year. 

There  will  also  be  three  fresh- 
man skiers  competing  with  the 
others  for  individual  honors:  Bill 
Judson.  Charlie  Boynton.  and 
Brooks  Stoddard.  Some  of  the  best 
skiers  in  the  East  will  be  at  Fran- 
conia today,  including  perhaps 
Ralph  Miller  and  Brooks  Dodge 
of  the  U.S.  Olympic  team,  but 
Townsend  says  that  90  per  cent 
of  the  field  will  be  from  Eastern 
college   teams.

Coombs'  freshman  basketball  team 
was  handed  its  first  defeat  of  the 
season  by  home  team  Hotchkiss  in 
a  clo.se  69-65  contest  today.  Tire 
Purple  had  previously  beaten  Un- 
ion and  the  Berkshire  School. 

Hotchkiss  got  off  to  an  early 
first  quarter  lead  and  never  re- 
linquished it.  The  victors  were 
paced  by  King  and  Schmidt,  a 
pair  of  sharpshooting  guards  who 
netted  15  and  18  points  respec- 
tively. 

Morris  Paces  Purple  Attack 

The  losers  -were  paced  by  dead- 
eye  guard  John  Morris  -who  sank 
eleven  field  goals  and  five  foul 
shots  for  a  27  point  total.  This 
makes  a  total  of  •?!  points  in  three 
games  for  Morris  who  is  by  far 
the  leading  frosh  scorer.  Charley 
Colby  also  hit  double  figures  with 
13  points  for  the  Ephmen.

Study    Reveals    Relation 
Of    Marks    To    Success 


Saturday.  Dec.  15  -  According 
to  a  study  released  by  the  Am- 
herst psychology  department,  stu- 
dents who  do  well  scholasticaUy 
tend  to  dominate  extra-cunicular 
activities.  Based  on  the  class  of 
1956,  it  shows  that  students  with 
high  academic  standing  hold  the 
greatest  number  of  campus  of- 
fices, receive  the  most  undergrad- 
uate honors  and  are  most  influen- 
tial in  activities. 

This  report  is  only  a  part  of  a 
long-term  research  project  being 
conducted  by  members  of  the  de- 
partment to  determine  the  nature 
of  student  motivation.  One  of  the 
Immediate  aims  of  the  project  is 
to  increase  participation  in  col- 
lege activities. 

Flndinsrs 

Among  other  findings  of  the 
study  were: 

There  are  more  athletes  in  the 
bottom  half  of  the  class,  although 
there  were  several  who  graduated 
with  high  honors. 

More  than  90  per  cent  of  the 
undergraduates  participate  m 
some  organized,  college-sponsored 
activity  outside  the  classroom.  Of 
those  who  do  nothing  two-thirds 
are  in  the  bottom  half  of  the  class. 

One  third  of  those  elected  to 
the  senior  and  junior  honor  soci- 
eties are  in  the  top  tenth  of  their 
respective  classes  and  one  .luaiter 
of  those  elected  to  ihe  Student 
Council  are  also  in  the  top  centh. 


Pottle  .  .  . 


Pottle  stated  that  Boswell  alway.-- 
sized  up  a  situation  correctly  and 
then  did  the  wrong  thing. 

The  main  effect  of  the  "Bos- 
well Papers"  will  be  to  change  the 
public's  point  of  view  towards  Bos- 
well's  character,  according  to  Mi-. 
Pottle.  He  said  that  the  public 
would  come  to  see  that  Boswell 
was  Scottish  and  not  English,  that 
he  was  well  born,  his  father  was 
the  grandson  of  an  earl,  that  he 
was  a  lawyer  by  profession,  and 
that  he  was  vain  and  intemperate, 
yet  personally  attractive,  especi- 
ally to  young  women. 

Boswell's  best  book  was  his  bi- 
ography of  Samuel  Johnson,  the 
"Life  of  Samuel  Johnson",  al- 
though critics  consider  his  "Jour- 
nal" his  best  work,  said  Mr.  Pot- 
tle. The  "Journal"  is  truthfully 
written  in  terms  of  the  day  and  in 
it  he  individualizes  his  characters, 
continued  Mr.  Pottle.

Freeman  Foote:  Chmrman.  Fiiru!*'- 
l)iseii>line  Committee. 

"By  eliminating  one  obvious  and 
often  justifiable  criticism  of  the 
Williams  fraternities,  this  pro- 
posed action  should  work  to  th? 
decided  advantage  of  the  hoises. 
I  would  like  to  emphasize  that  the 
committee  was  unanimous  in  Its 
belief  that  many  of  the  activities 
carried  on  in  connection  with  pre- 
initiation  indoctrination  are  worth- 
while and  should  be  continued.  It 
was  for  this  reason  that  the  com- 
mittee suggested  that  students  be 
consulted  in  interpreting  and  en- 
forcing the  rule  if  it  be  put  into 
effect." 

Larry  Nilsen,  President  of  the 
Junior  Class  (Nilsen  was  one  of 
the  two  CC  members  who  voted 
against  supporting  the  proposal  i ; 

"Just  because  some  houses  re- 
fuse to  accept  the  responsibility 
of  conducting  a  constructive  Hell 
Week  doesn't  mean  that  all  the 
houses  should  suffer  from,  legis- 
lation that  makes  no  distinction 
about  what's  responsible  or  irre- 
sponsible, and  what's  good  or  bad 
in  hazing." 

(Assistant  Professor  Anson  Pi- 
per, member  of  Discipline  commit- 
tee) 

Mr.  Piper  stated  that  when  pre- 
initiation  hazing  is  taken  out  into 
the  general  public,  "who  are  not 
particularly  interested,  they  tend 
to  look  on  it  as  frivolous  and 
childish".  This,  he  said,  "tends  to 
give  the  college  a  bad  name." 

•  A  Junior : ) 

Some  Hell  Week  activities  are 
"malicious,  thoughtless,  and  sadis- 
tic. What  happens  to  the  indi- 
vidual is  more  important  than 
what  happens  to  the  college's  rep- 
utation". 

(C.  Frederick  Rudolph,  member 
of  the  History  Department:) 

Mr.  Rudolph  felt  that  whatever 
Hell  Week  activities  there  are 
should  take  place  between  the  first 
and  second  terms.  He  objected  to 
following  Thanksgiving  Recess 
with  a  week  when  students  are 
"miles  away  from  the  classroom — 
psychologically,  if  not  physically". 

Commenting  on  Hell  Week  ac- 
tivities, he  said,  "I  think  it's  pre- 
tentious of  students  to  think  tliey 
can  rearrange  a  human  person- 
ality in  a  week".

some  students  that  the  adminis- 
tration should  not  interfere  with

Robert  Sterling  Clark 

Art  collector,  sportsman  Robert 
Sterling  Clark  died  after  an  ex- 
tended illness  in  his  apartment 
in  the  Institute  which  he  founded 
und  endowed  with  his  fabulous  art 
collection.  He  was  the  grandson  of 
the  donor  of  the  original  Clark 
Hall,  With  his  mother  and  two 
brothers  he  was  a  donor  of  the 
liresent  Clark  Hall  which  houses 
the  geology   department. 

Heir  to  a  Singer  Sewing  Ma- 
chine fortune,  Mr.  Clark  was  born 
in  New  York  City  and  spent  his 
youth  there.  As  a  young  man  he 
entered  military  service,  and  had 
duty  during  the  Boxer  rebellion.  A 
financier  and  breeder  of  fine  race 
horses  as  well  as  one  of  the 
world's  outstanding  art  connois- 
.seurs  and  collectors,  he  selected 
Wllliamstown  as  the  site  of  his 
remarkable  Institute  six  years  ago 
and  has  lived  here  almost  con- 
.stanlly  since. 

Funeral  services  for  Mr.  Clark 
were  held  before  an  invited  group 
of  close  friends  and  associates  in 
the  central  court  of  his  beloved 
Institute  among  the  paintings  and 
other  pieces  he  collected  so  care- 
fully during  his  79  years.  The  body

Chapin  Hall  Undergoes  Renovation; 
Foehl  Sees  September  Completion 

VVedne.sday,  laiuiary  9  -  (Jharles  .\.  Foehl,  collej^e  treasurer, 
has  ainKmncecl  the  |)r<)f^raiii  of  reiio\ation  which  is  now  heint; 
carried  out  in  Chapin  Hall,  Citiiii;  a  five-point  plan,  Mr.  Foehl 
.said  the  work  bcinij  done  now  is  just  "part  ol  a  plan  of  restoration 
of  the  buildiiiii;,  which  was  orininallv  hiiilt  in  191  L" 

Aside  from  routine  janitor  ser-O 


vice,  no  work  was  done  on  the 
building  until  a  new  roof  had  been 
put  on  in  1953.  With  the  roof  com- 
pleted, plans  were  begun  for  the 
redoing  of  the  interior,  and  it  is 
this  phase  of  the  restoration  that 
is  now   underway. 

Five-Point    Plan 

The  ceiling  has  Just  recently 
been  completely  washed.  Started 
on  December  6.  the  washing  pro- 
cess took  approximately  a  month, 
and  required  the  erection  of  scaf- 
folding in  the  building.  David  M. 
Deans,  general  contractor,  was 
given  the  Job  of  erecting  the  scaf- 
folding after  his  bid  of  $1800  was 
viewed  a.s  the  lowest  of  the  bids 
received.  Aside  from  this  .scaffo'd- 
Ing,  the  rest  of  the  work  is  being 
done  by  employees  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Buildings  and  Grounds. 

The  next  step  in  the  restoration 
will  be  painting  of  the  walls  and 
the  washing  of  the  woodwork.  Af- 
ter thl.s.  the  Teakwood  floor  and 
stage  will  be  restored,  stage  light- 
ing Improved,  and  the  aisles  will 
be  carpeted.  This  carpeting  will 
aid  not  only  In  preserving  the 
floor,  but  also  In  bettering  the 
acoustics  of  the  building. 

Work   Done   in   Stages 

The  celling  has  been  completed 
and  the  acaffoldlng  has  been  re- 
moved In  time  to  permit  the  Glee 
Club  to  rehearse  for  their  concert 


David  M.  Deans  av.d  his  dal- 
matlons  observe  the  scaffoldinff 
used  to  allow  buildings  and

ceiling  of  Chapin  Hall  for  pur- 
poses of  handwashing. 

next  week.  Likewise,  the  rest  of 
the  restoration  process  will  be 
done  in  various  stages  throughout 
the  rest  of  the  year  to  permit  the 
building  to  be  used  as  it  normally 
would.  The  wa.shlng  of  the  ceiling

Williams  Singers 
To  Give  Concert 
In  Chapin  Friday 

Director  Nollner  Urges 
More  Student  Interest 
In    Group's    Activity 

Wednesday,  Jan.  9  -  The  first 
of  five  concerts  of  tlie  Williams 
College  Glee  Club's  1957  season 
will  be  held  in  Chapin  Hall  Fri- 
day, January  11,  at  8:30  p.m.  The 
I'joup  will  be  conducted  by  Walter 
Nollner  and  a.ssisted  by  a  violin 
and  organ  ensemble. 

The  iirogiam  will  begin  with 
choruses  from  the  operas  "The 
Fairy  Queen"  by  Purcell  and  "Ri- 
cliard  the  Lion-Hearted"  by  Gret- 
ry.  Following  these  will  be  selec- 
tions by  the  .small  group,  al.so 
.sacred  works  by  Schutz  and  Char- 
pentier,  partsongs  by  Dvorak  and 
Schubert  and  three  folksongs  ar- 
ranged by  Archibald  Davison  for 
men's  chorus,  including  "The  Ped- 
",  "Tirn  Ye  to  Me"  and  "Bren- 
nan    on   the   Moor". 

Professor  Nollner,  the  director 
of  the  Glee  Club,  feels  "that  the 
support  from  the  student  body 
could  be  much  better.  Tlie  con- 
certs arc  set  up  with  variety  and 
entertainment  interest  in  mind. 
Though  much  of  the  program 
might  be  unfamiliar,  it  would  be 
quite  enjoyable."  The  principal 
reason  lie  gave  for  the  lack  of  sup- 
port is  the  lack  of  knowledge  a- 
bout  the  Glee  Club.  "The  Glee 
Club  is  actually  better  known 
elsewhere  than  on  its  own  cam- 
pus", lie  finislied.

c()inprehensi\o  schedule  for  the  third  animal  Career  Weekend, 
slated  here  Feb.  1—2.  was  released  this  inorninii  hv  Director  Of 
Placement   Manton   Copeland.   executive  secretary  for   the  event. 

For  the  e.\press  purpose  of  aidinu;  all  undergraduates  to  ob- 
tain first-hand  inlorination  on  various  vocations  and  i;raduatc 
school  re(|uirenieiits.  Career  Weekeiul  is  sponsored  jointly  by  the

ally  eiitlinsiastic  reception  1)\-  the  student  body  to  the  Weekend 
last  year,  Copeland  promises  that  this  year's  profjrani  will  be  e\en 
more  varied  and  provocati\ c. 

GitUliiifi  Principle 

The  focal  point  of  Career  Weekend  is  set  for  Saturday  niorn- 
injj  when  a  series  of  well-prepared  discussions  on  different  voca- 
tions will  be  offered.  Kach  topic  will  be  handled  by  bif^hly-cjuali- 
fied  Williams  j^raduates  distinctly  prominent  in  the  field  under 
consideration  and  these  men  will  attempt  to  paint  realistic  pic- 
tures of  the  relative  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  their  particu- 
lar lines  of  endeavor. 

Usuallv  an  older  man  and  a  coinparati\'e  newcomer  to  the 
field  will  be  featured  to  present  both  points  of  \iew.  Questions, 
of  course,  will  be  freely  answered  and  all  students  will  be  given 
free  cuts  to  attend  these  sessions. 

Bi<l  Kickoff 

A  large  crowd  of  students  and  alumni  are  expected  to  get  the 
weekend  off  to  a  fast  start  Frida\'  excning.  Feb.  1.  when  the  long- 
awaited  "CJareer  l'"orum "  will  take  place  at  the  AMT. 

In  place  of  the  (Career  Cuidance  discussions  of  last  year,  this 
year's  program  will  shape  a  iihilosophy  of  what  happens  to  a  stu- 
dent after  he  lea\es  college,  outlining  the  transition  from  a  Lili- 
eral  Arts  institution  to  the  business  or  professional  world. 
Three  Speaker.i

coming  Weekend,  is  a  noted  author  in  the  field  of  Christian  Ethics 
in  the  Episcopal  Church. 

Then,  "The  Transition  from  Campus  to  Career"  will  he  jiic- 
tiired  by  Dickenson  R.  DeHeroise  '46.  Newark,  N.  ].,  attoriipy.  Mr.

lege Trustee  and  chairman  of  the  school's  budget  committee.

Chairman  Richardson  Pronounces 
Drive  A  Success,  Collects  $891 

Wednesday,  January  9  -  Joe  Richardson,  Chairman  of  the 
RECORD  JIungarian  Relief  Drive,  announced  that  $89L26  had 
been  collected  in  the  pre-vacation  drive.  Although  it  fell  short 
ol  its  intended  goal,  the  drive  was  pronounced  a  success.  The 
RK(X)RD  had  hoped  that  each  student  would  contribute  at  least 
one  dollar,  which  would  ha\e  brought  the  total  over  a  thousand 
dollars. 

O 

The   faculty   contributed   $86.00 

of  the  total  amount.  A  breakdown 
of  the  figures  shows  that  upper- 
cla.ssmen  contributed  $584.50  and 
the  Freshman  class,  $220.76.  Tlie 
average  student  donation  for  the 
entire  enrollment  was  about  $.81. 


Phi  Betes  To  Hold 
Freud  Discussion 


Gilman,  Cole,  Savacool, 
Raynsford  Head  Panel 


Wednesday.  Jan.  9  -  Tonight's 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  society  panel  dis- 
cussion on  Sigmund  Freud  is  ex- 
pected to  bring  the  biggest  stu- 
dent turnout  of  the  year,  reports 
President  Bob  Loevy   '57. 

According  to  advance  reports, 
the  discu.ssion  will  not  concentrate 
on  fathoming  the  24  volumes  of 
Freud's  works  on  psychoanalytic 
theory,  as  has  been  done  in  past 
Phi  Bete  conclaves.  Instead  the 
panel  will  present  a  picture  of 
Freud,  the  man,  and  will  trace 
his  influence  on  later  religious, 
historical  and  literary  thought. 

Freud's    "Vienna 

Dick  Gilman  '57,  a  political  sci- 
ence major,  will  open  the  discus- 
sion with  a  sketch  of  19th  cen- 
tury Vienna  where  Freud  ■ft'rote 
and  certain  facts  about  his  life. 

The  other  speakers  are  Rev. 
William  G.  Cole,  College  chaplain, 
Asst.  Professor  John  K.  Savacool 
and  Bob  Raynsford  '57,  a  History 
major. 

Cole  is  expected  to  talk  on  the 
impact  of  Freud's  non-spiritual 
explanation  of  personality  on  re- 
ligion. 

Prof.    Savacool    will    treat    the 

changes  in  20th  century  literature 

attributed  to  Freud,  while  Rayns- 

fr  rd   will   note  Freud's  effects  on 

Istorical    conceptions. 


CARE  Handles  Funds 

Richardson  pointed  out  that  the 
Buxton  School,  a  private  school 
south  of  WiUiamstown,  had  car- 
ried on  an  earlier  drive  and  had 
collected  over  $1200,  One  frater- 
nity and  many  of  the  faculty  had 
contributed  to  this  drive. 

The  money  collected  has  been 
sent  to  CARE  which  will  under- 
take the  distribution  of  the  food 
purchased  by  our  contributions. 
Each  dollar  will  buy  about  twen- 
ty-two pounds  of  government  sur- 
plus food.  This  supply,  consisting 
mainly  of  essentiaLs  such  as  rice, 
potatoes,  cheese  and  meat,  will 
feed  a  family  of  four  lor  a  month. 
A  member  of  the  CARE  Agency 
has  written  a  letter  thanking  the 
college  for  the  contributions  and 
informing  it  that  all  the  food 
will  be  given  to  Hungarian  refu- 
gees in   Austria. 

The  Williams  drive  is  compar- 
able to  those  at  other  colleges.  At 
Amherst,  each  student  was  assess- 
ed one  dollar  by  the  college.  Their 
total  was  slightly  higher  than 
ours.  The  University  of  Connec- 
ticut contributed  about  $400. 
Larger  universities  such  as  Har- 
vard and  Yale  contributed  several 
thousand  dollars. 


Recent  Changes  In  Organizations'  Offices 
Promote  Centralization,  Aids  Renovations 

Wednesday,  January  9  -  RECORD  staffers  returning  from 
vacation  spas,  found  their  office  in  a  jumble  resulting  from  the 
invasion  ol  the  Tra\cl  Bmeau.  Beginning  dming  Christmas  vaca- 
tion, and  continuing  at  the  present  time,  a  series  of  changes  in 
the  locations  of  \arious  College  offices  has  stemmed  from  the 
exiiansion  of  the  Placement  Bureau,  causing  the  abortive  attempt 
at  order  pictined  here. 


The  Travel  Bureau   Has  Traveled, 

Due  to  the  griratly  increased  number  of  student-company  rep- 
resentative inter\  lews,  the  Placement  Bureau  was  forced  to  absorb 
the  Old  Faculty  Club  offices  of  Mr.  Peter  Welanetz,  Superinten- 
dent of  Grounds  and  Btiildings.  Mr.  Welanetz  thereupon  confis- 
cated the  Jesup  Hall  offices  of  Mr.  Ralph  Renzi,  college  news  di- 
rector and  editor  of  the  ".Mumni  Review".  The  latter,  dispossed, 
moved  downstairs  and  manoeuvred  the  coach's  room  to  another 
area,  at  the  same  time  driving  the  "Purjile  Cow"  and  the  Travel 
Bureau  completely  otit  of  Jesup  into  the  Sttident  Union. 

RcnoDations  Initiated 
Mr.  Welanetz  added  that  the  Jesup  office  of  the  Department 
of  Ruildings  and  Grounds  will  be  a  fairly  temporary  one,  as  a 
scjiarate  edifice  for  this  department  is  first  on  the  priority  list  of 
future  college  buildings.

EDITORIAL 

The  Middle  Edx! 

President  Kisenhiiwer'.s  nie.s.sane  to  Conyres.s  last  Saturday  was 
most  hearteniun  in  that  it  marks  a  sharp  break  from  the  lorei^n 
policy  of  the  past  foiu-  years.  It  is  only  renrettahle  that  the  U.S. 
did  not  make  a  firm  and  nue(|iii\  ieal  stand  earlier.  We  are  now 
only  too  aware  of  the  frestration  and  trouble  that  can  result  from 
doubts  about  .\meriean  intentions.  The  \aeuum  in  the  Middle 
East  cannot  be  filled  bv  the  United  Nations  alone  nor  bv  a  few 
va.nue  couunitments  by  the  United  States.  The  British  and  the 
French  are  obviously  not  in  a  position  to  fill  the  vaeuiuu.  There- 
fore in  the  default  of  the  Ihiited  States,  the  Soviet  Union  is 
readv  to  nive  the  area  special  attention.  Hussia  is  willing  to  employ 
economic  and  political  sulncision  to  );ain  its  ends.  In  order  to 
prevent  this  from  happeninji,  tln>  Unitetl  States  must  be  willing  to 
drop  its  past  jiolicv  of  e(|uivocatiou  and  to  take  the  calculated  risk 
of  definite  economic  and  military  connnitments.  This  is  in  the  tra- 
dition of  the  MonrcK'  Doctrine  and  the  Truman  Doctrine.  Both  of 
tliese  have  been  emmensely  successful  in  maintaiuiui;  the  peace. 

Mr.  Eisenhower's  proposal  is  twofold:  l-authori/ation  by 
Congress  to  allow  the  executive  to  undertake  in  the  Middle  East  a 
pro;4ran\  of  economic  and  military  assistance,  2— to  allow  the  e.vecn- 
tive  to  employ  the  use  of  armed  forces  in  this  region  in  order  to  |)ro- 
tcct  the  integrity  of  the  Middle  Eastern  nations  and  to  prevent 
any  overt  armed  aggression  from  any  nation  controlled  by  Com- 
munism. 

The  (piestion  that  can  only  be  answered  by  time  is  whether 
this  plan  will  be  comprehensi\e  enough  to  prevent  communist  in- 
fluence. It  also  remains  to  be  seen  how  unich  economic  aid  will 
be  needed.  However,  it  can  be  assumed  that  the  Eisenhower  pro- 
posal will  ser\e  as  a  strong  warning  to  the  Soviet  Union  and  pre- 
yent  them  from  making  any  hasty  or  drastic  moves. 

In  addition  there  are  still  many  other  (piestions  that  will  have 
to  be  answered  by  the  administration.  Israel  will  have  to  be  rec- 
ognized by  the  Arab  nations  as  a  de  facto  state.  The  Ca/.a  striji 
problem  will  haye  to  be  solved,  ]ierlia]is  by  international  control. 
The  debate  over  the  control  of  Suez  will  continue  but  it  is  cer- 
tain that  Crcat  Britain.  France,  Russia  and  Egy]>t  will  have  to  have 
voices  in  the  running  of  the  canal.  These  are  all  problems  that  will 
have  to  be  solved  in  order  to  bring  about  any  lasting  solution  o 
Stabihti'  in  tbe  Middle  F>st 

Although  the  Eisenhower  Proposal  is  only  the  first  step  to- 
wards a  solution,  it  does  represent  an  awareness  on  the  part  of  the 
United  States.  With  such  an  awareness  and  a  willingness  to  assmne 
responsibility  as  a  world  leader,  the  United  States  can  work  to- 
wards a  more  durable  world  peace. 

Famed  Gale  Hose  Company  Notes 
60th  Araiiversary  Of  Fire  Fighting 

Bif  Hdiuhf  Hanscll 

Tlie  new  year  1957  may  be  the  year  for  Wilt  The  Stilt  to  shine. 
Baby  Doll  to  start  a  fuss  and  Princess  Grace  of  Monte  Carlo  to 
have  a  baby  girl,  but  it  also  will  be  mighty  important  for  another 
reason.  This  year  marks  the  fiOth  anniversary  of  the  foinidiu';  of 
Williamstown's  famed  volunteer  fire  department,  the  Gale  Hose 
Company. 

Conceived  in  1897  with  only  a  handful  of  men,  the  Cale  Hose 
Company  now  boasts  of  a  full  complement  of  35  men  and  officers 
and  a  complete  assortment  of  modern  fire-fighting  e'|uipment.  Ac- 
cording to  Chief  Engineer  Edward  -McGowan,  a  25  year  veteran 
of  the  company,  the  local  unit's  enviable  record  compares  finite 
favorably  with  similar  dejjartments  all  over  New  England. 
Fralcnud  Grotip 

Tlic  Gale  Hose  Company  a|5pears  to  be  more  like  a  fraternal 
organization  or  club  than  strictly  a  fire-fighting  unit.  To  become 
a  fireman,  McGowan  j^ointed  out,  a  local  resident  must  be  elected 
to  the  organization  by  the  current  membership  and  then  only  af- 
ter extensive  investigation.  The  Hose  Company  has  its  own  Con- 
stitution and  By-Laws  which  organize  the  group  on  a  semi-secret 
club  or  society  basis. 

In  addition  to  bi-monthly  meetings,  the  group  also  offers  a 
complete  schedule  of  social  functions  for  both  members  and  towns- 
people. The  popular  highlight  of  the  .schedide  is  the  annual  Easter 
Monday  Ball  for  the  benefit  of  the  I'^iremcu's  Benevolent  Fund. 
Fire  House 

The  focal  point  for  all  Gale  activities,  of  course,  is  the  beau- 
tiful, modern  fire-station  located  on  Water  Street.  Built  in  1950  to 
house  the  fire-fighting  e(|nipmeut,  the  station-house  also  features 
a  big  meeting  room,  a  giant  screen  television  set,  a  completely 
equipped  kitchen  and  short-wave  radio  broadcasting  facilities. 

The  company  has  foiu'  trucks,  three  of  them  based  at  the  Wa- 
ter Street  Station.  The  equipment  includes  a  500-gallou  pumper, 
a  1500-gallon  ladder  truck  and  a  recently-ac(]iu'red  750-gallon 
pumper.  In  addition,  one  small  immper  is  kept  at  a  substation  in 
the  VVliite  Oaks  section  of  northern  Williamstowu. 

A  Fire 

When  a  fire  breaks  out  a  tremendous  burden  of  responsibility 
falls  on  the  pretty  shoidders  of  the  local  telephone  operators.  First, 
the  girls  set  off  the  two  fire  sirens,  located  at  the  Water  Street 
Station  and  at  the  Rcinington-Rand  building  on  Cole  Ave. 

As  soon  as  the  sirens  scream  out  the  three-blast  signal  which 
is  so  familiar  to  Williams  students,  all  members  of  the  Hose  Com- 
pany immediately  pick  np  the  nearest  phone,  find  out  from  the 
waiting  operators  where  the  fire  is  located  and  then  race  to  die 
scene  as  fast  as  possible. "Only  the  drivers  must  head  for  the  fire 
house  to  pick  np  the  trucks,  no  one  ever  being  explicitly  stationed 
there  for  that  purpose  as  in  a  larger  city. 

Chief  McGowan  relates  that,  fortunately,  most  of  the  fires 
reported  here  are  minor  and  usually  of  a  seasonal  nature,  summer 
grass  fires  and  winter  chimney  fires  being  in  distinct  abimdance. 
The  last  major  blaze  of  any  consequence,  the  chief  added,  was  the 
burning  of  West  College  in  1952.

Hi/  Dick  Puiin 
Last  snnuner  the  usually  cellar-dwelling  Pittsburg  Pirates 
amazed  the  baseball  world  by  climbing  to  the  lop  of  llie  National 
Leagiu'  pennant  race.  Triu',  their  stay  was  briel  and  the  rest  ol 
the  sea.son  was  nothing  to  brag  about.  But  thi'  Bnccos'  rise  to  sell- 
respectability  after  so  many  years  as  the  league's  dunce  was  due 
very  largely  to  the  slugging  prowess  of  their  tall,  powi'riul,  hard- 
competing  and  yet  easy  going  first-baseman.  The  man:  Itiebmd

What  young  people  are  doing  at  General  Electric 


Young  engineer 

pioneers  new  ways 

to  use  x-ray 


A  new  x-ray  inspection  system  whiili  irilensi- 
fies  an  x-ray  iniajie  more  than  10.(1(10  limes  in 
brightness  and  transmits  it  to  a  conventional 
TV  screen  has  been  developed  recentiv  hy 
General  Eleetrie.  When  perteeled.  il  may  en- 
able medical  sj)eeialists  to  perform  "long-dis- 
tanee"  diagnosis  on  patients  in  remote  areas. 
One  of  the  principal  men  whodeveloped  x-ray 
television  —  called  TV\  for  short  —  is  Dr.  John 
E.  Jacobs.  Manager  of  ihc  Adv.incrd  Develop- 
ment Laboratory  of  Gi-neral  Kleetric's  X-liay 
Department  in  Milwaukee.  Wisconsin. 

Jacobs'  Work  Is  Important,  Responsible 

As  an  electronics  specialist,  Dr.  Jacobs'  work 
in  the  past  has  been  devoled  to  the  stinK  of 
photoconduetors— substances  whose  properties 
change  under  the  inlluence  of  radiation  —  and 
the  use  of  x-ray  in  industrial  inspection.  This 
in  turn  led  to  his  developnienl  of  the  x-ray- 
scnsilive  camera  tube  used  in  TV.X. 

His  present  administrative  duties  wilh  the 
Advanced  Development  Lab  allow  him  more 
time  tor  teaching  others  what  lie  has  learneil. 
lie  now  teaches  the  second-year  gra<lnate  course 
at  Norllnvesterii  in  vacunm-luhe  networks,  and 
has  recenllv  been  named  McKay  Visiting  Pro- 
fessor for  I'J.')?  by  the  University  of  California 
at  Bcrkeh^,  where  he  will  give  a  two-week 
scries  of  lectures  on  pholoco.uluclion. 

27,000  College  Graduates  at  General  Electric 

Since  his  youth,  when  he  was  a  licensed  radio 
"ham,"  John  Jacobs  has  b'een  devoted  to  the 
study  of  eleclricily  and  electronics.  Like  each 
of  our  27.(100  college  graduales.  he  is  being 
given  the  chance  to  grow  f.nd  realize  his  hjll 
potential.  For  (Jcneral  Electric  has  long  be- 
lieved this:  when  fresh  young  minds  arc  given 
the  freedom  to  develop,  everybody  benefits  — 
the  individual,  the  Company,  and  the  country.

William.s  .showed  fine  .seorinn

double  figures.  Hedeman  netted 
7  field  Koal.s  and  13  foul  .shots  for 
his  27  point.s.  the  most  by  a  Wil- 
liams player  this  .sea.son.  while

the  Ephs  were  unable  to  work  the

Ephs    Score    Second 
Triumph    Of    Season 

Monday,  Jan.  7  -  The  Williams 
vai-sily  wreslliii}'  team  won  its  sec- 
ond match  this  afternoon  as  it 
defeated  the  Unlveisily  of  Mas- 
sachu.setls  al  Amherst,  21-7.  Coach 
Jim  Ostendarp's  .sciuad  dominated 
the  heavier  weinht  clas.se.s  to  .score 
pins  in  the  157,  lfi7,  177  and  hea- 
vyweight matches.  These  wins 
were  enough  to  ovei'come  the  home 
team's  advantage  in  the  lighter 
weight  gi-oupings. 

After  both  teams  had  forfeited 
in  the  123  pound  contest,  sopho- 
more standout  Kthrt  Wieneke  was 
declsioned  by  Ipoza  of  UMa.ss.  by 
an  11-3  .scoi-e.  Al  137  pounds.  Cap- 
tain Ted  McKee  of  Williams  gave 
Ins  team  the  fii'st  of  its  five  pins 
as  he  defeated  Kalafatos  with  only 
45  seconds  gone  in  the  first  peri- 
od. The  147  iJound  match  saw 
Stowell  of  UMa.ss.  lake  a  close  8-3 
dei'ision  from  tlie  Ephs  Jim  Hut- 
chinson, who  put  on  an  outstand- 
ing performruice  In  losing  to  a  su- 
perior opponent. 

Williams  controlled  the  match 
from  this  point  on  as  the  Ephs 
took  full  advantage  of  the  home 
team's  w'l'akne.sses  in  the  heavier 
weights.  At  157.  Bob  Koster  con- 
tinued his  unbeaten  string  as  he 
pinned  Montminy  in  2:22  of  the 
first  period.  Senior  Gene  Sulli- 
van al.so  took  his  match  in  con- 
clusive fashion  by  pinning  his  1C7 
ixnind  opponent.  Mair.  with  2:45 
gone  in  the  second  period. 

Ted  Baumgai'dncr  and  .sopho- 
more Bob  Hatcher-  completed  the 
rout  by  registering  pins  in  the  fi- 
nal two  matches  of  the  encounter. 
Baunigardner.  at  177  pounds,  de- 
feated Rutledge  by  a  fall  in  2:05 
of  the  second  period.  Hatcher. 
New  England  Champion  last  year 
as  a  fre.shman.  took  until  the  third 
period  to  pin  his  man.  The  final 
fall  came  at  the  19  .second  mark  as 
he  defeated  Richardson.

By  Karl  llirshman 

Saturday,  Jan.  5  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  vai'sily  .squash  team 
defeated  Trinity  College  today  at 
the  Lasell  Courts  by  a  convincing 
9-0  score.  The  Eph  racquet  wield- 
eis  were  too  experienced  and  too 
skillful  in  evei-y  department  for 
the  visitor's  fi'om  Hartford.  Coach 
Clar'ence  Chaffee's  boys  lost  only 
one  game  in  .sweeping  to  their 
fii'sl  intercollegiate  triumph  of  the 
sea.son. 

Ollie  Stafford,  the  Williams 
number-  one  player-,  swept  thi-ee 
str-aight  games  to  continue  in  his 
unbeaten  ways.  Stafford  was  nev- 
ei-  in  trouble  and  constantly  took 
the  "T"  fr-om  his  opponent  to 
score  on  perfect  placements.  Tom 
Shulm.'ui  al  number  two  played 
good  .squash  to  run  out  three 
games  in  a  i-ow-,  and  Rogei's  South- 
all,  playing  number  thi-ee.  after 
dropping  the  opening  game,  12- 
15.  went  on  to  smother-  his  oppo- 
nent with  accurate  placements. 

Captain  Sam  Eells  continued  on 
his  all-winning  w-ays  in  an  easy 
match,  and  Doodles  Weaver.  Dick 
Ennis.  Charlie  Alexander.  Ci'O.sby 
Smith  and  Bob  Ohmcs  all  experi- 
enced little  difficulty  in  their 
matches.  This  was  Williams'  first 
r-natch  since  the  double  loss  to 
Dartmouth  and  Navy  before  the 
Christmas  recess.

Dean's  Office  Announces  Alteration  Ot  Grade  Requirements 


New  Qualifications  To  Encourage 
Steadier  Academic  Performance; 
Measure  Affects  Class  Of  '60 


WMS  GOES  FM 


Wednesday,  Jan.  9  -  A  coiisidi'iable  chaMi;c  in  the  rec|uire- 
ments  for  marks  will  go  into  I'ffi'ct  next  year,  it  was  announced 
today  by  the  Dean's  Office.  Tlic  new  system,  wliicli  will  apply 
only  to  the  class  of  1960  and  tliose  followinj;,  increases  the  num- 
bers of  Cs  which  a  student  nnist  attain  /)er  seincstcr  in  an  at- 
tempt to  reduce  the  number  of  students  who  "coast"  after  iresh- 
man  year  and  wind  up  in  serious  academic  trouble  as  seniors. 

The  new  plan,  which  was  adopted  recently  by  the  whole 
faculty  upon  recommendation  of  the  Currieulnm  and  Academic 
Standing  Committees,  re(|uires  that  a  student  have  23  grades  of 
C  or  better  hy  the  end  of  his  senior  year.  At  least  five  of  tlu-se 
must  be  attained  in  his  freshman  year,  and  .3  or  more  each  semes- 
ter thereafter. 

Present  Si/stein 
Under  the  present  system  a  student  need  only  get  a  total  of 
20  Cs  or  better  by  graduation,  5  by  the  end  of  his  freshman  year, 
10  by  the  end  of  his  sophomore  year,  and  15  by  the  end  of  his 
junior  year.  Since  some  students  have  managed  to  receive  more 
than  the  minimum  of  fi\e  in  their  first  year,  tliis  system  has  en- 
abled them  to  relax  somewhat  thereafter.  .\  student,  for  instance, 
who  got  7  Cs  in  his  frosh  year,  needed  only  3  the  whole  of  bis 
sophomore  year  to  stav  in  school,  and  often  found  himself  going 
so  far  downhill  that  he  was  exjielled  just  before  graduation.  In 
tlie  past  few  years,  this  has  been  the  case  with  most  of  those  who 
have  failed  at  the  last  moment. 

By  making  every  student  maintain  a  steady  jiace  each  suines- 
ter,  therefore,  it  is  hoped  that  such  unfortiuiate  last  minute  ex- 
pulsions will  he  avoided  and  that  the  sincere  but  academically  low 
student  will  not  let  up  and  fall  into  bad  habits.  Even  the  student 
who  gets  five  Cs  or  bettei-  one  seuiester  and  only  two  the  next, 
for  instance,  is  liable  to  dismissal,  thus  compelling  a  steady  ef- 
fort. Nor  is  the  student's  average  important;  Bs  for  example,  do 
not  offset  Ds.  In  this  respect  there  is  no  change. 

Other  Aspects 
Otlierwise,    the    Dean's    Office   emphasized,    there    are    no 
changes  in  grade  ri-quircments.  Two  Es  a  semester,  or  a  total  of 
3,  make  a  student  liable  to  dismissal,  as  has  always  been  the  case. 

Also,  according  to  a  facidty  decision  made  last  year  and  to 
go  into  effect  ne.xt  year,  the  major  re(]iiirements  arc  the  same. 
That  is,  a  student  must  have  a  4.0  (C-)  average  in  all  the  courses 
of  his  major  by  graduation.

All  SiHirts  Stiir  at  Adams 

Dale  has  been  playing  organized  baseball  for  1.3  years,  lie 
spent  most  of  his  youth  around  I''arnhaui,  Mass.,  and  went  to  \\  il- 
liston  Academy  for  si.vtii  to  eighth  grades.  He  found  the  doini- 
torics  there  a  little  too  confining,  and  the  headmaster  was  williig 
to  agree  that  he  needed  more  space.  So.  back  to  .Vdanis  High  inr 
his  ('rcshman  year,  and  then  a  three  year  hilcli  in  the  Navy,  Tl„u, 
back  again  to  Adams  High  where  he  starred  in  all  sports,  and  w  is 
selected  to  the  all-tournament  team  in  the  New  England  basLrl- 
ball  tourney  in  the  Hoslon  Cardeii. 

1911  found  Dale  with  a  Milwaukee  Braves  uniform  playing  Inr 
C:ascy  Stengel.  .M'ter  a  brief  slay  be  rode  busses  around  the  mii  or 
league  circuits-l.ima,  Ohio,  in  191.5,  Ogden,  Utah  in  '10,  and  l.\im 
in  i)oth  '47  and  '48.  l'",\crv  year  he  rapped  ..'?()()  plus,  thinking  llmt 
was  what  the  scouts  were  after.  \t  XVilliauisport  in  19  and  liini;- 
liamtou  (Yankee  chain)  in  19.50,  Dale  ehangeil  his  slvle  and  be- 
gan "going  lor  houieruns". 

Pacific 
The  following  vear  Branch  Hic'kev  eonceixcd  the  nuorthmlnx 
idea  tliat  left-handed  catchers  were  ])ossil)le,  and  (halted  Dale  In 
pr()\c  it.  lie  had  never  tried  eatehing  belore,  and  as  he  savs,  II 
was  a  mailer  ol  plivsiiinc.  Von  caul  suddcnlv  learn  lo  erouch  al  llie 
age  of  27".  So  Braueli  \vai\ed  him  lo  llie  Saint  Louis  Browns,  who 
sent  him  to  finish  up  the  season  al  San  Francisco.  '51  was  a  uuii|Mc 
vear  in  one  respect:  "F.very  team  1  played  for  fiin'shed  in  last 
place".  Ne.\t  year  he  got  back  in  the  I'illsburgh  chain  at  New 
Orleans,  and  in  '.53.  |)laviug  luiiler  Bohbv  Bragan  al  Hollywood, 
lie  won  the  I'acific  Coast  Leagues  Most  \"ahud)le  I'laver  award. 
.\fter  one  more  year  tlu're.  he  came  to  I'illsburgh  lo  slav. 

Last  suunner  Dale  was  burning  up  Ihe  league  in  every  ili'- 
liarlmeul  until  his  ill  fated  '"Iwo  for  fiftv-lhree"  slump  occurred. 
It  started  in  a  game  with  St.  Louis  when  Iwo  eonseculive  foni  li|)S 
off  the  Long  bat  hit  him  in  Ihe  same  place  on  the  same  ankle  A 
couple  of  weeks  rest  would  luuc  put  him  in  great  shape,  but  .  .  . 
who  was  I  to  tell  Bragan  1  didiit  want  lo  i)lav'"P 

Oil  road  trips.  Dales  room  mate  is  Lee  Walls,  brightest  of  the 
Bueeo  rookies  last  vear.  Dale  recalls  when  Walls  first  came  up. 
he  was  ticketed  lor  a  clianee  al  third-base.  The  inoniing  before  lie 
had  a  trvout.  Walls  picked  up  his  ni'w  pair  ol  glas.ses.  only  to  find 
out  that  tlu'  doctor  had  confused  the  right  and  left  eves.  iMeldiiig 
ground  balls  Is  a  little  tricky  this  way,  and  Mr.  Walls  found  him- 
self hack  in  Hollywood  shortly. 

The  toughest  pitcher  for  hitting.  Dale  says,  is  llarM'V  llail- 
di.\.  "johnny  .■Vntouelli  is  good  too,  but  he"s  a  little  more  human, 
doesii  t  come  at  you  from  all  directions  and  aim  at  your  back  ev- 
ery time  he  gets  ahead  of  von".  Unlike  most  left-handed  swalteis, 
he  hits  lefties  as  well  or  better  than  righlies.  "1  guess  tliat"s  iinl 
the  theory,  but  1  like  lo  fight  the  llu'ciries.'"  The  proof  is  in  llie 
pudding,  for  two  of  his  famous  eight  homers  came  off  two  of  llie 
league's  best  lefties— Warren  Spabii  and  Curt  Sinunons.  Acconl- 
ing  to  the  gossip  around  the  league,  which  Dale  gels  plenty  ol   il 

his  first  base  station,  the  Piraii.--' 

Bobby  Friend   Is  as  tough  as  iiny 
of  them. 

Usually  during  the  off  seasnii 
Dale  works  for  Sprague  Elect  lic 
and  plays  basketball.  This  wlniir, 
however,  he  is  just  taking  it  en  y 
and  fixing  up  his  new  hou.sc  "a 
Corinth  Street.  "Taking  It  ea^y" 
is  perhaps  the  wrong  expression, 
because  he  is  very  much  In  di- 
mand  around  the  hot-stove  en  • 
cuit,  and  has  to  answer  stacks  it 
mall  from  every  conceivable  touu 
in  the  United  States.  Later  on  thif 
month  he  will  go  to  Pittsburgh  'n 
receive  Plttsbtrgh's  "Athlete  of 
the  Year"  trophy.  He  is  also  on  ;'n 
"Action  Committee"  for  the  bii- 
termcnt  of  North  Adams,  and  Is 
involved  In  other  civic  functions. 
Though  he  sometimes  wishes  li-^ 
had  gone  to  college,  he  wouldn't 
settle  for  any  other  career.  At 
thirty  one.  he  has  .six  or  seven 
good  years  left.  After  that . .  .Dale 
and  his  wife  Dorothy's  sons.  Dale 
•Jr.  and  Johnny,  look  like  a  couple 
of  future  fence-busters  in  thoir 
own  right.

announced  Tuesday  nij^iit  to  the  Social  Council  by  Dean

It  appears  certain  that  one,  possibly  two  more  hazing  pro- 
Is  will  reach  Baxter's  desk  before  lie  takes  final  action.  At 
uesday  meetinj;  the  S.C.  voted  10-1  (with  two  al)sent  and 
not  vofinjf)  to  submit  to  the  President  a  report  previously 
II  up  by  Dick  Kearon  and  jolin  Winnacker. 
The  S.C.   plan   differs   from  the   Discipline  Committee  pro-

"Just  Definition" 
.\ccoidlng  to  Dean  Brooks,  the 
difference  between  the  two  pro- 
po.sals  is  solely  "a  matter  of  de- 
finition". He  assured  fraternity 
presidents  that  the  Discipline 
Committee  Plan  does  not  wish  to 
eliminate  "all  activities  of  Hell 
Week",  just  hazing. 

He  defined  hazing  as  any  acti- 
vities whose  purpose  is  "to  anger, 
lnitat».  fatigue,  worry,  demean, 
or   degrade". 

"The  intention  of  the  admin- 
istration is  not  to  move  In  on 
the  fraternities".  Brooks  said,  "our 
Intention  is  to  get  at  customs 
which  are  barbaric,  outmoded  and 
depraved." 


Williams  To  Host 
March  Ski  Meet 


woe  Meeting  Features 
Beer,   Skiing   Movies 


Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  Wednesday 
night  the  Williams  Outing  Club 
held  an  Informal  meeting  in  the 
Student  Union.  The  meeting  fea- 
tured four  skiing  flicks  and  beer 
on  tap.  During  the  intermission 
members  of  the  WOC  spoke  on 
activities  to  be  conducted  this 
winter. 

The  four  movies,  "Skiing  In  the 
Swiss  Alps",  "Winter  Olympic 
Thrills",  "Skiing  In  Norway",  and 
"The  Ski  Chase"  proved  to  be 
popular  entertainment.  During 
the  course  of  the  evening,  free 
beer  was  enjoyed  by  all.  At  inter- 
mission there  were  three  speakers. 
Bill  Booth  spoke  on  the  club's 
cabin  at  Mad  River.  He  pointed 
out  that  WOC  members  get  pri- 
ority In  the  use  of  the  cabin's  fa- 
cilities, but  that  it  is  open  to  guests 
also.  It  is  by  far  the  cheapest 
available  lodgings  for  a  ski  trip. 
Sandy  Fetter  outlined  plans  for 
the  ski  meets  to  be  held  at  Win- 
ter Carnival.  Bill  Martin  gave  fur- 
ther plans  for  activities  over  the 
Winter  weekend. 

March  Ski  Championships 

Williams  College  and  the  WOC 
will  be  hosts  to  the  United  States 
Eastern  Amateur  Ski  Meet  In 
March.  This  Is  one  of  the  three  or 
four  big  races  In  America.  Most 
of  the  top  amateur  skiers  in  the 
east  will  be  contending,  including 
many  who  tried  out  for  the  Olym- 
pic team.  In  anticipation  for  this 
event.  Ski  Patrol  classes,  conduct- 
ed by  Mr.  Fred  Scarborough  of 
WUllamstown,  have  been  held. 
The  members  of  these  classes  will 
work  In  conjunction  with  the 
WOC. 

For  those  of  us  who  are  really 
amateurs,  in  the  strict  sense  of 
the  word,  the  following  Is  a  list 
of  area  ski  slopes.  Sheep  Hill, 
south  of  WlUiamstown,  Is  conve- 
nient but  does  not  afford  terrific 
conditions.  Jlmlny  Peak  and  Dutch 
Hill  are  about  35  minutes  away, 
Bromley  and  Mount  Snow  are  a- 
bout  an  hour  away  and  afford  ex- 
cellent conditions.  Bosquet,  south 
of  Pittsfleld,  has  an  artificial 
snow  machine  and  offers  good 
skiing,  regardless  of  weather  con- 
ditions. 


Discipline  Committee 
Hell    Week    Proposal 


The  Joint  Faculty-Student 
Committee  on  DLscipline  recom- 
mended to  the  administration 
that  fraternity  "hazing"  be  de- 
clared illegal  and  that  in  con- 
sultation with  student  repre- 
sentatives, the  administration 
devise  ways  and  means  of  in- 
IcrprctlnK  and  enforcing  this 
rule. 

It  was  clearly  established  in 
the  discussion  of  this  motion 
that  the  prohibition  of  "haz- 
ing" would  not  be  Intended  to 
prevent  the  requirement  by 
fraternities  of  legitimate  pre- 
inltiation  duties  from  pledges. 
The  primary  principle  in  this 
connection  is  that  such  duties 
should  be  worthwhile  in  them- 
selves, e.g..  cleaning  the  house 
and  grounds:  learning  frater- 
nity or  college  history,  songs, 
rituals,  etc.;  assisting  welfare 
or  public  agencies;  taking  part 
in  recognized  extra-curricular 
activities:  performing  normal 
house  duties  and  respon.'iibili- 
ties:  meeting  recognized  stan- 
dards of  personal  conduct. 

It  was  equally  clear  that  the 
intent  of  the  motion  is  to  stop 
pre-initlatlon  practices  intend- 
ed to  worry,  ridicule,  degrade  or 
tire  pledges,  or  which  might 
result  in  injury  to  person,  loss 
of  time  and  energy  for  aca- 
demic work,  nuisance  to  the 
public  or  to  other  people. 


Psychiatric  Literati 
Subdue  Aggressions, 
Put  Freud  On  Couch 

Phi  Betes  Present  Panel, 
Discuss  Works,  Impact 
Upon  Modern  Literature 


Four  erudite  members  of  the 
faculty  and  student  body  of  Wil- 
liams College  presented,  on  Wed- 
nesday evening,  a  panel  discussion 
of  the  life,  character,  and  work  of 
Sigmund  Freud.  Chaplain  Cole 
Mr.  Savacool,  Robert  Raynsford 
'57  participated  in  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  presentation:  the  contri- 
bution of  Dick  Oilman  '57,  called 
unexpectedly  to  Cambridge,  was 
read  by   mediator  Bob  Loevy   '57. 

Gllman-Loevy  led  off  the  dis- 
cussion with  a  broad  out-line  of 
Freud's  life  and  a  review  of  his 
still  controversial  character  and 
theories.  Freud,  born  one  hun- 
dred years  ago  of  mlddle-cla.ss 
JcwKsh  parentage,  moved  at  the 
age  of  four  with  his  family  to  Vi- 
enna, w'here  he  was  educated.  On 
basically  humanitarian  grounds  he 
took  up  the  profession  of  medicine. 
His  studies  look  him  to  ParLs  and 
the  neurologist  Charcot,  where  he 
became  interested  in  hypnotism  as 
a  weapon  against  hysteria.  Ex- 
pandlnt!  this  technique,  he  laid 
the  foundations  and  cornerstone 
of  p.sychiatry  and  p.sychoanalysis. 
Freud  Called  Mystic,  Pervert 

Prom  these  theses  arose  the 
welter  of  misguided  accusations 
that  he  was  immoral,  irrational,  a 
pervert  desiring  free  love  and  a 
return  to  nature.  Freud  was  call- 
ed a  dogmatic,  arrogant  mystic,  a 
pre-scientific  thinker.  In  truth, 
stated  Gllman-Loevy,  he  was  a 
very  moral  person,  a  rationalist 
with  a  thoroughly  disciplined 
mind,  an  examining  realist  whose 
desire  was  to  learn  man's  inner 
natui'e.  As  a  man,  concluded  Gil- 
man-Loevy.  he  was  one  of  the 
most  original  thinkers  of  modern 
times,  and  a  champion  of  human- 
ity. 

Reverand  Cole  continued  the 
discussion,  analyzing  Freud's  the- 
ory of  personality.  Freud's  great- 
est discovery,  said  Cole,  was  that 
of  the  existence  of  the  uncon- 
scious something  hitherto  un- 
known. This  area  of  human  exis-

Placement  Director  Copeland  Organizes 
Nine  Career,  Six  Graduate  Panel  Talks 

Bi/  Sandt/  Hunscll 

Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  A  host  of  distinj^uished  Williams  alumni 
will  offer  students  rarc^  opportunities  to  receive  provocative  first- 
hand insij^hts  into  various  vocations  and  professions  as  a  featured 
part  of  Third  annual  Career  Weekend  activities  here  Feb.  1-2. 

Director  of  Placement  Maiiton  Copeland  Jr.,  Executive  Secre- 
tary for  the  event,  in  releasiii)^  the  names  of  Career  Panel  partici- 
pants today,  declared  that  each  j^uest  S])caker  is  eminently  quali- 
fied to  discuss  his  particular  field  of  endeavor. 

A  concentrated  effort  has  been  made,  Copeland  added,  to  get 
men  not  only  prominent  in  their  res|)ective  fields  but  also  from  a 
wide  range  of  age  groups  to  paint  varying  asjjects  of  the  picture. 
The  nine  Career  Panels  Saturday  morning  and  the  six  graduate 
school  panels  Saturday  afternoon  have  been  set  up  to  follow  stu- 

^o  dents  preferences  as  expressed  in 

a  Placement  Bureau  Poll.

Dl]  Grants  Support 
For  Refugee  Family 

Fraternity    Finds    Homes 
Work    For    Hungarians 


Saturday.  Jan.  12  -  If  red  tape 
can  be  cut.  Delta  Upsilon  frater- 
nity of  Williams  College  will 
sponsor  a  Hungarian  family  in  a 
move  which  they  hope  will  be  emu- 
lated by  other  fraternities 
throughout  the  country. 

Acting  on  the  suggestion  of 
Steve  Bullock  '57,  the  50  members 
have  found  a  six-room  apartment, 
a  job  at  the  Widen  Tannery,  and 
each  student  has  agreed  to  have 
his  monthly  bill  increased  by  $2  to 
help  a  Hungarian  couple  get  set- 
tled in  WUllamstown. 

The  students  are  hoping  that 
the  couple  assigned  to  them  will 
have  children  because  the  apart- 
ment they  have  found  is  ideally 
arranged  for  a  family  of  more 
than  two.  The  fraternity  men  ex- 
pect to  continue  the  special  as- 
sessment on  their  bills  through 
this  year,  and  to  continue  It  next 
year  if  necessary,  until  the  family 
becomes  self-sufficient. 


Bob  Muir  Returns  From  Olympic  Swimming  Duties 
U.  S.  Coach  Praises  Condition  Of  Australian  Squad 


By  Simeral  Bunch 

Satuiday,  Jan.  12  -  Brimming 
with  stories  and  anecdotes,  swim- 
ming Coach  Bob  Muir  returned  to 
WUllamstown  just  before  vaca- 
tion. Everyone  knew  he  had  been 
halfway  around  the  world  at  the 
Olympics,  and  before  he  could  get 
unpacked  people  started  popping 
questions  at  him.  Tills  reporter 
was  one  of  those  people. 

Bob  didn't  have  to  Inform  any- 
one that  he  had  been  somewhere 
farther  south  than  WUllamstown. 
His  sun  tan,  now  fading  away, 
did  that.  How  did  he  like  It  "down 
under?" 

Australians   Wonderful 

"The  Australians  went  out  of 
their  way  to  be  nice.  They  ran  one 
of  the  finest  shows  ever.  And  they 
weie  at  all  times  fair."  They  must 
have  been  wonderful  to  our  teams 
to  have  the  coach  say  this.  After 
all,  the  Australians  captured  the 
traditionally  American  swimming 
crown. 

"The  most  notable  thing  about 
the  swimming  Olympics  was  the 
physical  and  mental  condition  of 
the  Australian  team.  Their  tech- 
nique was  American,  and  some  of 
it,  especially  the  crawl  and  back- 
stroke, were  as  perfect  as  I've  ever 
seen." 

Picks    Australians 

Bob  picked  out  Australia's  phe- 
nomenal Lorraine  Crapp  as  the 
swimmer  who  most  Impressed  him, 
followed  closely  by  her  teammate 
Dawn  Fraser.  In  the  men's  events. 
Bob  was  also  most  Impressed  by 
an  Australian,  this  time  the  world 
record  holder  (by  a  good  margin) 
In  the  100  meter  freestyle,  Jon 
Hendricks. 

The  United  States  did  all  right, 
too.   Bob   admitted   that  he   was

Comments  on  Breen 

And  speaking  of  records.  Bob 
couldn't  pass  on  without  mention- 
ing the  world's  record  set  by  Cort- 
land State  Teachers'  College's 
George  Breen.  Breen  lowered  the 
1500  meter  freestyle  world  mark 
In  a  preliminary  heat,  only  to 
come  in  third  in  the  finals.  "If 
only  he  had  had  patience  he  could 
have  had  both  the  record  and  the 
gold  medal." 

Bob  had  little  comment  about 
the  dispute  that  raged  over  the 
Judging  in  the  diving.  Some  au- 
thorities were  quoted  in  the  na- 
tional wire  service  releases  as  say- 
ing that  Russian  and  Hungarian 
Judges  collaborated  to  cheat.  Bob 


meiely  said  that  "they  had  a  dif- 
ferent concept  of  Judging.  They 
were  consistent".  One  of  his  side 
trips,  he  notes  incidentally,  was 
to  the  ship  on  which  the  Russian 
and  Hungarian  athletes  arrived. 
Here,  with  translator,  he  convers- 
ed with  some  of  the  athletes  and 
officials. 

Souvenirs  and   Memories 

Since  it  was  "one  of  the  most 
wonderful  experiences  I  have  ever 
had"  Bob  and  Mrs.  Muir  arrived 
home  with  numerous  small  sou- 
venirs and  even  more  numerous 
memories  of  not  only  the  Olym- 
pics, but  the  trip  Itself. 

"They  wouldn't  let  us  bring  a 
kangaroo  on  the  plane",  he  told 
one  of  his  Williams  swimmers. 
Perhaps  that  was  fortunate,  for 
the  kangaroo  might  have  gotten

Amherst  Debates 
Prejudice  Issues 

Two  Houses  Unable 
To    Solve   Conflicts 


Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  Two  of  the 
thirteen  fraternities  at  Amherst 
College  have  not  as  yet  been  able 
to  resolve  problems  of  racial  dis- 
crimination with  their  national 
chapters. 

Amherst  President  Charles  W. 
Cole  recently  sent  a  letter  to  each 
fraternity  asking  that  they  reaf- 
firm the  1946  edict  outlawing  "re- 
strictions by  reason  of  race,  color, 
or  creed  affecting  the  selection 
of  members". 
10    Houses   Reply    Affirmatively 

Letters  from  ten  fraternities  re- 
affirmed compliance  with  the 
Ti'ustee  vote.  Psi  Upsilon's  letter 
to  President  Cole  stated  that 
there  were  no  written  restrictions 
in  house  membership.  The  letter 
was  returned  asking  for  confir- 
mation that  there  were  no  restric- 
tions of  any  kind. 

The  letters  of  the  two  other 
houses.  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and 
Theta  Xi,  stated  that  they  had 
not  been  able  to  reconcile  the 
views  of  the  College  with  the 
views  of  their  national  organiza- 
tions. Representatives  of  both 
houses  observed  that  the  local 
members  favored  non-discrim- 
ination. Theta  Xi  president  Ed- 
waid  Kambour  said  that  their 
rushing  policy  this  year  will  be 
non-discriminatory,  and  that  the 
local  chapter  plans  to  Introduce  a 
resolution  to  the  national  conven- 
tion granting  local  autonomy  in 
membership. 

Alumni  Approval  Lacking 

Kent  Knowles,  president  of  Phi 
Gamma  Delta,  explained  that  his 
house  has  not  yet  received  alumni 
approval  of  the  letter  to  be  sent 
to  President  Cole.  He  indicated 
that  a  problem  does  exist.

Williamstown's  Citizens  Defeat  Proposal 
For  Construction  Of  New  High  School 
Despite  Support  Of  Several  Civic  Groups 

Btf  Stephen  C.  Rose 

Tuesday,  Jan.  8  -  By  a  vote  of  1132-981  the  citizens  of  Wil- 
hamstown  hirned  down  a  proposal  yesterday  to  bonow  the  $1,630, 
000  needed  for  the  construction  of  a  new  high  school.  One  obser- 
ver termed  the  vote  "overwhelming"  in  view  of  the  fact  that  a  two 
thiids  majority  is  needed  on  any  issue  which  involves  borrowing 
money.  The  \()te  was  the  result  (if  a  special  town  meeting  held  on 
December  17  which  elected  to  put  the  controversial  public  school 
projiosal  before  the  Williamstown  electorate. 

Ill  an  iiiter\icvv  today.  Professor  George  Harper,  who  has 
served  for  cle\eii  years  on  the  Williamstown  School  Committee 
(an  elective  office),  diagnosed  the  public  .school  situation.  Mr. 
Harper  also  sei\ed  for  a  year  as  chairman  of  the  School  Building 
Committee  which  was  set  up  in  1955  to  discuss  ways  to  meet  "the 
swelling  school  population." 

SchonI  Survci/ 

The  history,  briefly,  is  this;  Tlie  School  Building  Committee 
made  several  surveys,  each  time  concluding  that  a  four-year  sen- 
ior high  school,  with  room  for  five  hundred  students,  plus  gym 
cafeteria,  and  auditorium  facilities,  was  needed  by  Williamstown' 
A  central  issue,  at  the  outset,  was  the  site.  Overtures  to  the  college 
to  buy  land  near  the  present  high  school  were  unsuccessful.  Last 
June,  however,  tlie  town  purchased  what  Mr.  Harper  ferined  an 
"ideal"  area  located  on  the  Lowry  farm  about  a  mile  and  a  half 
from  Sjiring  Street. 

The  recommendations  of  the  School  Building  Committee  were 
endorsed  by  the  Capital  Outlay  and  Finance  Committees  of  Wil- 
liamstown, in  addition  to  the  League  of  Women  Voters  and  the

A  New  Start  In  Williamstown 


The  DU  plan  to  hel])  settle  a  Hinijrarian  refiij^ee  family  in 
Williamstomi  cle.ser\es  the  hif^hest  conimendation.  ."Vction.s  sueh 
as  this  one  aie  the  greatest  argument  that  can  he  presented  to 
answer  tlie  eharge  that  the  fraternity  system  is  obsolete  and  serves 
no  positi\  e  function.  Each  member  of  Delta  Upsilon  has  agreed  to 
a  2$  monthly  liike  in  his  house  bill  to  help  pay  expenses  of  the  refu- 
gee family  until  they  get  settled  and  can  become  self-sufficient. 
This  represents  a  fairly  considerable  outlay  over  the  course  of  sev- 
eral months,  and  perhaps  extending  into  next  year. 

Charitable  and  civic-minded  actions  such  as  the  DU  plan  are 
far  too  few  and  too  small  among  Williams  social  units.  They  sboidd 
be  an  integral  part  of  the  fraternity  system  rather  than  an  occas- 
sional and  almost  accidental  adjunct;  while  not  trying  to  put  the 
Salvation  Army  out  of  business,  frateniities  should  work  away  from 
a  wholly  inner-directed  attitude  and  seek  to  benefit  others  besides 
their  own  members.  Congratidations  to  Steve  Bullock  and  his  fel- 
low workers  in  DU,  may  the  red  tape  slowing  up  their  idea  be 
sliced  away  quickly. 

Congratulations  and  thanks  are  also  in  store  for  the  fresh- 
man class,  whose  contribution  to  the  RECORD  relief  fund  for 
Hungarian  refugees  was  esjiecially  gratifying.  Dave  Sims,  chair- 
man of  freshman  collections,  deserves  much  of  the  credit  for  the 
fine  shoNving.

SC  Proposal  On  Hazing 


I.  The  Social  Council  feels  that  the  following  adxantages  re- 
sult from  pre-initiation  acti\ities: 

1)  Development  of  pledge-class  unity  and  house  spirit. 

2)  Improvement  of  undesirable  traits  in  pledges  by  con- 
structive criticism. 

3)  Knowledge  of  college  and  fraternity  culture. 

4)  Proper  respect  for  the  fraternity  and  its  members. 

II.  The  Social  Council,  therefore,  recommends  that  the  Stu- 
dent-Faculty Discipline  Committee  adjudge  any  reported  violation 
and  submit  proper  recommendation  to  the  administration  for  en- 
forcement. 

1)  Pre-initiation  activities  other  than  community-aid 
projects  are  to  be  resbicted  to  the  house  and  its 
grounds. 

2)  Pre-iniHation  activities  shall  not  be  of  the  nature 
which  may  result  in  personal  injury  to  pledge,  in 

public  indignation,  or  in  serious  loss  of  time  from 
academic  work. 

3)  Pre-initiation  activities  other  than  comminiity  aids 
and  constructive  house  work  shall  not  commence  un- 
til three  days  before  initiation. 

4)  Pre-initiation  activities  shall  be  conducted  during 
one  specific  period  selected  by  the  Social  Council. 


Dartmouth  Winter  Carnival 


Hanover,  N.  H.  -  A  guest-card  policy  will  again  be  used  for 
the  Dartmouth  Winter  Carnival,  it  was  announced  today  by  Rob- 
ert E.  Smith  '57,  president  of  the  Winter  Carnival  Board. 

Crowded  conditions  in  Hanover,  Smith  said,  make  a  svstem 
for  limiting  the  influx  of  visitors  a  necessity.  The  Winter  Carnival 
will  be  held  February  8,  9,  and  10. 

"Guest  cards,"  Smith  explained,  "will  be  distributed  to  Dart- 
mouth students  and  fraternities  for  distribution  to  students  at  other 
colleges." 

He  emphasized  that  Hanover  and  its  rural  vicinity  have  ex- 
tremely limited  housing  facilities.  Visiting  athletic  teams,  dates, 
and  Dartmouth  alumni  will  occupy  most  of  these  lodgings,  he 
said. 

Smith  urged  that  Dartmouth  students  avoid  inviting  guests 
for  whom  they  cannot  procure  guest  cards,  and  that  students  at 
other  colleges  forego  Winter  Carnival  unless  they  have  both  an 
invitation  and  a  guest  card. 

Guest  cards  will  be  required  for  admission  to  fraternity  par- 
ties and  other  events,  Smith  said.

"Harper's"  Article  Names  Colleges 

Cradles  Of  American  Leadership 

Reviewer  Cites  Important  Fallacy 

By  Bill  Ednur 

An  article  in  a  recent  issue  of  Har|5er's  Magazine  by  the  pres- 
ident of  the  (Jarnegie  Curi)oration-|ohn  W.  Gardner-injects  a 
note  of  optimism  into  end-of-term  Williamstown.  Describing  the 
nation's  pressing  need  for  educated  men,  it  mitigates  the  gloomy 
restlessness  of  iminent  exams  and  placement  interviews. 

Throughout  his  article  Mr.  Gardner  frankly  asserts  that  ed- 
ucation is  functional— contrary  to  the  sentiment  of  many  laculty 
members  here. 

In  a  Williams  classroom  last  year  a  nrofessor,  noticing  the 
sparce  attendance  of  one  morning,  threw  down  iiis  carefully-pre- 
pared lecture  in  disgust,  nuittering  a  condemnation  of  the  student's 
\'iew  that  college  is  merely  a  motel— a  comfortable  jjlace  to  spend 
the  time  between  school  and  job. 

To  Mr.  Gardner,  however,  knowledge  for  the  sake  of  know- 
ledge means  little  compared  with  tiie  necessity  to  incubate  Ameri- 
can leadershij).  In  his  article  he  comments  fully  on  the  effect  of 
this  increased  need  for  educated  talent  on  ethical  values,  on  the 
society,  on  the  colleges,  and  (ni  the  educated  men  themselves. 

Athough  his  rambling  analysis  contains  no  startlingly  origi- 
nal facts  or  thought,  it  makes  interesting  reading  for  tlie  vmder- 
graduate. 

"A  Revolution" 

"We  are,  it  is  plain,"  believes  Mr.  Gardner,  "in  the  midst  of 
a  rcNolution  in  society's  attitude  toward  talent.  For  the  first  time  in 
history  men  and  women  of  high  ability  and  advanced  training  are 
not  merely  finding  a  market  for  their  gifts  they  are  being  pursued, 
flattered,  and  fought  over  .  .  . 

"You  no  longer  hear  the  anecdotes  about  the  cocky,  impracti- 
cal college  graduate  who  came  on  the  job  bursting  with  confidence 
and  muffed  every  assignment.  It  is  now  the  employers,  not  the 
young  men,  who  have  their  hats  in  their  hands  ..." 

Mr.  Gardner  then  (juotes  a  statement  which  would  make  that 
disgusted  Williams  professor  wince  with  pain.  "  'Education,'  says 
Lloyd  Warner,  who  recently  com|)li'tcd  a  study  of  business  leader- 
shij), 'has  become  the  royal  road  to  positions  of  power  and  prestige 
in  American  business  and  industry. " 

He  claims  that  "men  of  high  ability  and  advanced  training  will 
probably  suffer  less  than  any  other  sector  of  society  from  hard 
times  ...  As  a  matter  of  fact  the  data  at  hand  indicate  tliat  the 
college  man  outstrips  tlie  non-college  man  with  astonishing  ea.se 
in  every  measure  of  worldly  success.  Taking  good  times  ami  bad, 
he  is  more  ajjt  to  be  employed,  gets  better  jobs,  earns  more  money, 
and  gets  ahead  faster." 

The  Colleges 

Mr.  Gardner's  analysis  then  turns  to  determining  the  effect 
of  this  situation  on  American  colleges.  "As  the  cradle  of  our  nation- 
al leadership,"  he  observes,  "their  role  is  increasingly  weigiity  and 
powerful." 

Statistics  show  that  facilities  have  grown  with  demand.  Col- 
leges have  multiplied  more  tlian  fifty  times  since  1870,  and  Mr. 
Gardner  predicts  that  the  present  figure  will  triple  in  tlie  next 
twenty  years. 

All  is  not  perfect,  however,  in  this  best  of  all  possible  nations. 
"Our  educational  institutions  are  already  groaning  audibly  under 
their  financial  l;urdcns.  And  nov.-  tlu  y  are  faced  with  the  necessity 
to  treble  in  size.  Can  America  foot  the  bill?" 

Not,  answers  Mr.  Gardner,  if  we  continue  to  allocate  so  little 
of  the  gross  national  product  to  our  educational  system.  "We  spend 
about  one  and  one-half  as  much  on  tobacco  each  year  as  we  spend 
on  higher  education  and  about  two  and  three-quarters  as  much 
on  alcoholic  beverages. 

"The  one  anomalous  feature  of  this  entire  picture  of  vast 
growth  and  vitality  in  education  is  that  the  American  citizeiny 
has  not  faced  up  to  paying  the  bill." 

The  American  Ideal 

"Almost  all  societies  before  the  Industrial  Revolution,"  says 
Mr.  Gardner,  transferring  his  analysis  to  broader  historical  and 
ethical  concerns,  "were  'societies  of  status,'  in  which  what  coimted 
was  not  what  a  man  could  accomplish,  but  who  he  was ". 

"The  American  people,  spurred  by  religious,  political,  and 
social  views  which  laid  enormous  emphasis  upon  individual  o])- 
portiuiity,  moved  faster  than  any  other  nation  in  rejecting  this  kind 
of  status  society. .  .  . 

"In  some  matters  we  seem  unstintedly  committed  to  recognize 
excellence  .  .  .  ,  but  in  others  we  enshrine  the  mediocre,  fear 
and  sconi  superior  performance  .... 

"Some  people,  particularly  in  the  academic  world,  have  been 
worried  by  what  they  believe  to  be  popular  hostility  to  people  of 
high  ability  and  advanced  training."  These  fears,  however,  arc  not 
well-founded  today.  "Tlie  forces  which  have  made  for  acceptance 
and  assimilation  of  educated  talent  have  been  so  overpoweruig 
that  they  have  swept  all  opposition  before  them." 

Liberal  Arts 

Mr.  Gardner  closes  with  some  words  in  praise  of  the  idea  of 
a  Williams-type  liberal  arts  education.  In  functional  education, 
"we  are  bound  to  see  more  and  greater  emphasis  upon  special- 
ization .  .  .  But  a  world  of  ever-ramifying  specialties  soon  cries 
out  for  generalists.  Someone  must  be  able  to  see  beyond  his  im- 
mediate job  and  be  able  to  cope  with  the  larger  relationships   .  .  . 

"Intelligence  initempered  by  wisdom,  competence  unguided 
by  a  sense  of  values-these  could  be  our  downfall  as  surely  as 
could  ignorance  and  incompetence." 

Conclusions 
The  impressive  c|uantity  of  representatives   from  American 
businesses  which  interview  Williams  seniors,  soUiciting  their  tal- 
ents and  training,  attests  to  the  validity  of  Mr.  Gardner  s  observa- 
tion of  a  great  need  in  this  country  for  educated  men. 

A  dangerous  paradox,  however,  exists  at  Williams  and  pro- 
bably at  other  .'Vmerican  colleges— and  Mr.  Gardner  has  overlook- 
ed it.  A  too-acute  consciousness  of  the  practical  value  of  educa- 
tion causes  the  undergraduate  to  shift  emphasis  from  the  work  at 
hand  to  what  he  will  do  after  graduation,  an  attitude  which  tends 
to  rot  away  the  quality  of  the  work  he  is  doing  now,  and  conse- 
([uenfly  of  that  very  education  which  the  world  so  strongly  needs. 

The  impressive  quantity  of  apathy  at  Williams  attests  to  this.

Unaffected  by  wars,  depressions  and  polities,  the  Demp,,  v 
.'\utique  Shop  has  been  collecting  items  from  eras  almost  forg.il- 
ten  since  1924.  A  trip  to  tiie  shop  takes  you  back  to  the  ahin  st 
strange  world  of  a  century  ago.  A  French  nohlewoiiiau  may  w,  || 
have  given  last  minute  preparations  to  her  dress,  before  going  ii) 
an  lin|K'rial  Ball,  in  front  ol  the  anti(|ue  mirror,  now  hanging  i,\  ■[ 
the  antiquated  New  England  dry  sink.  The  revolutionary  gun  m 
the  back  of  the  store  inight  have  been  the  one  that  gave  the  op.  n- 
ing  volley  at  Bunker  Hill.

Dempsey,  warming  iiis  hands  o\er  a  pot-bellied  Franklin 
stove,  stated  that  he  has  iiandlcd  many  rare  and  valuable  items 
and  has  sold  tlnngs  to  world-lamous  personalities.  In  1925,  Ilcmv 
Ford  scouring  the  countryside  for  uni(|ue  and  interesting  items 
for  his  projected  museum  at  Dearborn,  Michigan,  stopped  in 
Dempsey's.  Upon  entering  the  shop  .Mr.  Ford  spied  an  old  oil; m 
in  tlie  corner  of  tlie  shoo.  He  immediately  asked  Dempsey  jj  it 
were  still  for  sale.  After  liearing  that  it  was,  he  purchased  it  ;iii(l 
had  a  special  truck  sent  from  Michigan  to  retrieve  the  covcti  il 
prize.  Dempsey  stated  that  the  organ  was  one  of  the  original  m- 
gans  in  this  country.  He  had  found  it  in  an  old  church  in  the 
Connecticut  Valley.  The  late  fatiier  of  Prof.  Vrcd  Stocking  s.nd 
diat  he  often  went  to  the  mu.seum  to  see  sonu'tiiing  that  was  froin 
the  home  of  his  alma  mater.  The  organ  is  still  in  the  niiLseum  .mil 
in  excellent  condition. 

A  few  years  ago,  a  collector  from  .\nn  .Vrbor,  Michigan,  i\. 
amined  a  pipe-organ  and  declared  that  it  was  the  oldest  and  fin- 
est e\er  installed  in  a  private  home.  .Vn  Episcopal  minister  h:i(l 
it  built  one  lunidred  thirty  years  ago.  Its  tone  is  remarkably  well 
preser\ed. 

I'urnilurr  I'rom  Eiirajw 
The  largest  pair  of  andirons  in  New  England  was  sold  by  .Mr, 
Demp.scy  a  few  years  ago  to  the  Williams  Lodge.  Each  one  weighs 
one-hundred  and  fifty  pounds  and  takes  two  men  to  lift  one  of 
them.  A  Frencli-\'ictoria  desk  built  twenty  years  before  the 
French  Revolution  was  one  ol  the  finest  pieces  of  wood  carving 
the  |)roprictor  had  ever  seen.  It  was  valued  at  about  $3(M).(X), 
Desks,  chairs,  and  tables  that  once  graced  the  homes  of  nobility 
in  France,  Italy,  and  England  have  been  sold  in  the  local  estab- 
lishment. 

Dempsey  said  that  the  anti(|ue  business  has  changed  a  great 
deal  in  the  last  few  years.  He  pointed  out  that  buyers  from  New 
York  City,  C^liicago,  Boston,  Texas,  and  Calihirnia  come  to  New 
England  to  buy  anti(|nes  for  their  respex'tivc  shops.  Thus  tiiey  hid 
up  prices  and  make  it  hard  for  the  small  inclepcndcnt  dealer. 
Furthermore,  young  people  today  are  not  so  interested  in  anti(|ui's 
as  their  parents  were,  "They  want  perfection  in  china  and  crystal 
which  are  over  two  hundred  years  old.  They  do  not  understand 
that  half  the  value  of  such  items  are  the  age-crackles.  1  guess  it 
is  just  the  Jet  Age." 

Historic  Ihtihhn'^ 
The  building  in  which  the  shop  is  located  is  one  of  the  oldest 
buildings  on  campus.  It  is  college-owned  and  Dempsey  estimate  d 
its  age  at  over  one  hundred  fifty  years.  The  building  used  to 
stand  in  front  of  the  gym  but  was  moved  to  its  present  site  upon 
the  building  of  the  gym.  .'\t  one  time  the  College  Hook  Store  ami 
a  drug  store  occupied  the  premises,  .Vt  that  time  there  were  fen- 
fraternities  and  thus  this  was  a  Williams  institution,  Studenls 
would  come  down  and  spend  hours  talking  over  the  problems  nf 
the  day  while  warming  their  hands  over  the  big  stove  in  i!h 
center  of  the  store. 

The  seventy-four  year  old  .shop-keeper  whose  signs  have  i-.- 
posed  his  customers  to  a  home-spun  philosophy  and  humor  took 
over  the  shoo  upon  the  death  of  his  brother  H.  J.  Dempsey  nine 
years  ago.  Although  born  in  Williamstown,  he  spent  most  of  his 
life  in  Texas,  not  as  an  antique  collector  but  as  a  business  m  !ii 
and  aeronautic  expert.  When  not  busy  minding  the  business,  ho 
devotes  his  time  to  building  furniture  for  "Boystown"  in  ^^'|■^t 
Pittsfield  and  the  Salvation  Army.

Sports  Slants 


/ii/  Siti/irl  Aucrhiuh 
This  winter  season  die  ,so  called  minor  sports  have  come 
into  their  own.  Usually  it  is  the  haskethall  team  that  receives  all 
the  mention  with  swimming  a  second  choice  at  Williams,  lint  this 
year  with  an  undefeated  wrestling  as  well  as  swimming  learn  and 
:iii  excellent  hockey  team,  haskethall  most  definitely  has  taken  a 
hack  seat. 

The  hockey  team,  with  one  of  the  roughest  schedules  of  any 
Williams  team,  is  doing  itself  proud.  They  hold  their  own  with 
die  best,  as  exhibited  by  last  Saturday's  game  with  RPI  when  they 
led  the  third  ranked  team  in  the  East  lor  over  two  ])eriods.  Ami 
today's  wrestling  match  with  Springfield  should  be  worth  watch- 
ing. 

Another  winter  .sport  that  should  have  a  good  year  is  the  ski 
team.  .'Mthongh  thev  lia\e  not  yet  competed  as  a  team,  two  mem- 
bers won  individual  honors  at  a  Rear  Nfonntain  meet  last  weekend. 

The  basketball  team  is  young.  They  make  mistakes  and  the 
games  are  usually  not  well  played.  Rut  they  are  getting  better, 
and  next  year  .should  have  a  really  fine  clui).  Meanwhile  it  is  a 
good  thing  for  some  of  the  otlier  sports  to  get  attention. 


Warren's   28   Points 

Sparks    68-55   Win 


Wedne-sday.  Jan.  9  -  Led  by  vet- 
eran Bill  Warren,  the  Lord  Jeffs

herst's"'Wnnlng  streak  to  five 
Barnes. 

Going  into  the  second  half  with 
a  .slim  25-24  lead,  the  Sabrlnas  ex- 
tended their  lead  to  nine  points

this  time  Army  was  able  to  con- 
nect for  only  two  field  goals  by 
Bob  McCoy.

cause  with  15  pts.  and  Anderson,

Cagers  Launch  Little  Three   Bid 
Tonight  Against  Visiting  Wesmen 


Quintet  Defeats  Hamilton,  Sl-56; 
Morton  Paces  Ephs  To  Fifth  Win 

lit/  Dave  Sbns 

Tuesday,  Jan.  8  -  The  Williams  Varsity  basketball  team  romp- 
ed over  a  very  weak  Hamilton  five  tonight  in  Clinton,  N.  Y.  87-56. 
Jt  was  the  second  straij^ht  v;:*'^ry  for  tlie  Ephmen,  their  fifth  in 
the  last  six  games,  )i;iviiij»  them  a  seasons  record  of  ,5-3.  The  lead- 
ing scorer  for  the  victors  was  sophomore  center  Jeff  Morton  with 
20  points.  Starting  guards  Bob  Parker  and  Marv  Weinstein  and 
substitute  center  Ira  Kowal  each  accounted  for  ten  more  of  the 
Epb  points. 

Morton  Opetis  Scorini^ 

On  a  jump  shot  soon  after  the  tap  from  center,  Morton  open- 
ed the  night's  scoring,  and  a  moment  later  Jolin  Lewis  drove  in 
to  make  it  4-0.  The  game  was  never  closer,  with  the  Shawmen 
leading  39-24  at  the  half  and  coasting  the  rest  of  the  way  in  their 
most  decisive  victorv  of  the  year.  Accounting  for  jjart  of  the  final 
score  was  the  fact  the  Ephmen  missed  only  6  out  of  31  shots  from 
the  foul  line. 

Leading  tlie  scoring  for  the  losers  was  forward  Bill  Glezen, 
with  16  points.  Jim  O'Brien,  leading  scorer  for  Hamilton  last  year, 
played  for  only  a  minute  tonight  due  to  a  sprained  ankle.  Last 
vear  against  the  Purple  five  he  accounted  for  25  points.  It  should 
be  pointed  out  that  the  hosts  had  a  shorter  team  than  the  Ephs, 
and  as  one  of  the  Shawmen  said,  "they  had  one  of  the  worse 
college  basketball  teams  I  have  ever  seen". 


Unbeaten  Wrestlers  Oppose  Springfield 
Today  In  Crucial  Match  On  Home  Mats; 
Amerantes,  Benedict   Star  For  Maroons 


By  Chet  Lasell 

Saturday.  Jan.  12  -  Local  sports 
fans  will  be  treated  to  one  of  the 
top  events  to  be  held  on  the  cam- 
pus this  winter  this  afternoon,  at 
2:30  on  the  Lasell  Gym  mats.  The 
Williams  wrestling  team,  current- 
ly unbeaten  after  two  wins,  will 
grapple  with  Springfield  College, 
also  undefeated  and  winner  of 
the  NE  championship  for  the  last 
six  years  straight.  The  Maroons, 
under  coach  Doug  Parker,  boast 
victories  over  Yale.  20-12,  and 
Brown,  14-12. 

Springfield's  top  wrestler  is  co- 
captain  Ed  Amerantes.  1956  New 
England  champ,  who  will  compete 
at  123  pounds.  Frank  Reuter,  an 
undefeated  sophomore,  will  at- 
tempt to  continue  his  string  at 
130.,  Rich  Dickey  and  Ray  Smith 
will  wrestle  in  the  137  and  147 
weight  classes  respectively.  Murt 
Burger,  with  a  win  and  a  tie  in 
his  squad's  two  matches,  is  ex- 
pected to  perform  well  at  157. 
Maroons   Favored 

Undefeated  Vic  Lewln  will  be 
at  167  for  coach  Parker  while  Jim 
McGettlngham  should  wrestle  at 
177.  Springfield's  other  co-captain 
George  Benedict  will  provide  very 
stiff  competition  in  the  Unlimited 
Class.  On  the  strength  of  then- 
wins  over  two  strong  teams,  the 
Maroons  will  go  into  the  match 
the  favorite.  The  Ephs  are  hoping 
to  turn  in  top  performances  in  all 
divisions  as  this  is  their  chance  to 
upset  the   powerful  visitors. 

Coach  Jim  Ostendarp's  squad 
has  beaten  Tufts,  16-8,  and  U- 
Mass.,  21-7,  to  date.  The  team 
has  the  potential  to  be  the  best 
Williams  has  seen  In  several 
years.  At  123,  junior  John  Evans 
will  face  the  outstanding  Amer- 
antes. Captain  Ted  McKee  will 
try  to  stretch  his  unbeaten  string 
to  three  at  137  with  Kuhrt  Wie- 


neke,  AAU  district  champ  last 
year  as  a  freshman,  at  130.  Jim 
Hutchinson,  a  veteran  junior,  will 
compete  at  147.  Bob  Koster,  who 
has  lost  only  one  match  in  four 
years,  will  wrestle  at  157  in  a  cru- 
cial bout  with  Burger. 

Seniors  Gene  Sullivan  and  Ted 
Baumgardner  will  represent  the 
Ephs  at  167  and  177  pounds  re- 
spectively. Both  have  shown  steady 
improvement  this  season.  In  the 
UMass.  match,  the  two  veterans 
scored  second  period  pins.  Sopho- 
more Bob  Hatcher,  1956  NE  frosh 
champion  with  Wieneke,  is  Os- 
tendarp's choice  in  the  Unlimited 
Class.  He  scored  a  pin  against  U- 
Mass.  after  losing  to  his  Tufts 
opponent. 


Academy  Defeats 


By  Chuck  Dunkel 

Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  The  Wil- 
liams basketball  team  will  open 
the  Little  Three  season  by  meet- 
ing a  rapidly-improving  Wesleyan 
quintet  from  Middletown,  Conn., 
tonight  in  Lasell  Gym.  This  game 
will  mark  the  110th  meeting  be- 
tween the  two  schools  since  1902, 
with  Williams  holding  a  61-48  vic- 
tory margin.  Last  season  the  Ephs 
defeated  the  Cardinals  twice  to 
finish  second  in  the  league  stand- 
ings. 

Williams  will  carry  a  5-3  record 
into  tonight's  game,  while  Wesley- 
an now  stands  2-5  after  losing 
their  first  five  games.  Both  teams 
have  lost  to  Union  and  defeated 
WPI,  although  Williams  barely 
pulled  out  a  two  point  decision 
over  the  Engineers,  while  the  Car- 
dinals won  easily.  Wesleyan  has 
met  some  very  tough  teams  so  far. 
almost  up.setting  Yale  and  losing 
close  games  to  Union,  Coast 
Guard,  Norwich,  and  Harvard, 
while  defeating  Tufts. 

Lund  Leads  Cards 

Wesleyan  is  led  by  co-captains 
Jay  Cobbledick  and  Dick  Cassie, 
two  fine  backcourt  men;  and  by 
high  scorer  and  ace  rebounder 
Pete  Lund.  Lund,  a  6'3"  forward, 
is  one  of  the  leading  rebounders 
in  the  country,  ranking  13th  a- 
mong  small  colleges  with  a  17.3 
average.  Coach  John  Wood  will 
piobably  start  either  Cliff  Hordlow 
or  Paul  McLaine  at  the  other  for- 
ward spot,  with  6'5"  John  Watson 
at  center.  The  Cardinals  have  been 
using  a  sliding  zone  defense  in 
most  of  their  games,  while  relying 
on  coraer  plays  and  a  three-man 
weave  on  offense. 

In  evaluating  his  team's 
chances,  Williams  coach  Al  Shaw 
says,  "Wesleyan  is  a  much  better 
team  than  their  record  indicates, 
and  we've  got  to  stop  Lund  and 
Cobbledick  to  win."  Shaw  plans 
to  start  his  regular  line-up  in 
this  important  contest,  with  high 
scorer  Bob  Parker  and  Marv 
Weinstein  at  the  guards,  JelJ 
Morton  at  center  and  Bill  Hede- 
man  and  captain  John  Lewis  at 
the  forwards. 


Frosh  Swimmers!"  ^— ^f, 


Ephs  Lose  45-32

Wednesday,  Jan.  9  -  The  fresh- 
man swimming  team  this  after- 
noon lost  its  second  meet  of  the 
season  to  Albany  Academy.  The

tion of  the  winning  Albany  Aca- 
demy prep-school  all-American 
Bill  Dearstyne;  and  the  200  yard 
freestyle  relay  team  of  Jim  Ry- 
an. Dick  Eberhard,  Jeff  Shulman 
and  Bob  Stegeman  won  easily.

Staf ford-Hermosilla  Battle 
To  Influence  Rankings 


Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  The  Wil- 
liams College  varsity  and  frosh 
squash  teams  Journey  to  Cam- 
bridge today  to  take  on  a  relatively 
strong  MIT  squad.  The  Eph  var- 
sity defeated  the  Engineers  in  last 
year's  match,  7-2,  but  MIT  will 
be  greatly  strengthened  this  year 
by  returning  lettermen  and  out- 
standing sophomores.  Juan  Her- 
mosilla  and  Bob  Cohen  are  the 
first  two  men  in  the  MIT  lineup, 
and  the  former  is  ranked  second 
in  intercollegiate  circles. 

Williams     will     probably     start 

with    a   lineup    of    Ollie   Stafford, 

Tom    Shulman,    Rogers   Southall, 

Sam   Eells,  Doodles  Weaver,  Dick 

Ennis,   Charlie   Alexander,   Crosby

will  be  out  to  avenge  his  loss  to

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD     SATURDAY,  JANUARY  U.  1057 


Psi  U.  Outclasses 
Delta  Phi  In  Quiz 


Creden,  Bradley,  Wortley, 
Beat    Opponents   24-16 


Tuesday,  Jan.  8  -  The  Psl  U. 
House,  with  the  team  of  Pete 
Bradley,  Cabe  Wortley,  and  Jack 
Creden,  soundly  whipped  the  Del- 
ta Phi  house  In  the  latest  round 
of  the  Inter-fraternity  Quiz.  24- 
16.  The  D.  Phi  team,  composed  of 
Nick  Pangas,  Tom  Synnott,  and 
Howie  Wilier,  were  the  favorites 
(according  to  co-emcee  Lou  Lus- 
tenberger),  but  were  hopelessly 
outclassed  from  the  outset. 

Pete  Bradley  and  Cabe  Wortley 
carried  the  load  for  the  Psi  U's 
with  4  and  5  correct  answers  re- 
spectively. Jack  Creden  correctly 
answered  3  questions,  and  proved 
himself  to  be  an  expert  on  French 
hockey  players  (especially  in  the 
pronunciation  of  names).  Howie 
Wilier  and  Tom  Synnott  each 
answered  three  questions  correct- 
ly for  the  vanquished  0.  Phi's, 
with  Tom  racking  up  two  points 
on  the  last  bonus  question  (after 
Lou  Lustenberger  practically 
handed  him  the  answer  sheet). 
Nick  Pangas  answered  the  only 
two  sports  questions  the  losers 
seemed  to  know,  and  also  contri- 
buted much  forehead  slapping 
which  was  symbolic  of  the  Delta 
Phi  plight. 

Sickly   Emcees 

The  show  opened  with  a  touch- 
ing note  as  Mr.  Lustenberger  an- 
nounced that  he  had  a  cold,  and 
that  Mr.  Hap  Snow  (co-emcee) 
had  what  Lustenberger  called  "an 
unmentionable  disease".  After 
some  nose-blowing  and  sniffling 
the  show  proceeded  on  its  "gross" 
(another  Lustenberger  quote)  way. 

This  round  of  the  Interfrat 
Quiz  was  the  first  to  be  broadcast 
over  WCFM,  and  showed  an  ex- 
ceptional amount  of  restraint  on 
Mr.  Lustenberger's  part.  With  the 
exception  of  a  few  rowdy  members 
of  the  audience,  the  huge  thi'ong 
of  people  gathered  to  witness  this 
great  intellectual  battle  were  cour- 
teously responsive.  Support  was 
strong  for  both  sides,  but  made  no 
diilcience  as  to  the  outcome,  as 
the  Psi  U's  were  not  to  be  caught 
after  their  early  8-0  lead.  The 
music  questions  held  the  secret  of 
the  Psi  U.  success  as  they  gained 
8  out  of  a  possible  10  points  in 
this  category,  in  the  entertain- 
ment, current  events,  and  sports 
questions,  the  Psi  U.  team  held 
only  a  slight  two  point  lead. 


Muir  .  .  . 


upset  when  it  was  discovered  that 
one  of  the  plane's  motors  was  not 
operating  between  the  Fiji  Is- 
lands and  Hawaii.  In  a  sort  of 
characteristic  way,  that  comment 
brought  up  another  pleasant 
thought  this  time  about  his  stay 
at  the  Royal  Hawaiian.  But  that 
was  another  story. 

Rest? 

Having  spent  pleasant  weeks 
traveling  farther  than  the  aver- 
age tourist  ever  goes,  how  did  Mr. 
Muir  spend  his  Christmas  vaca- 
tion? In  bed!  Most  of  us  would 
have  done  the  same  thing  if  we 
had  gone  through  the  numerous 
speeches  and  exhausting  routine 
which  preceded  and  accompanied 
— and  seems  to  be  following — his 
trip. 

But  the  smile  on  his  face  is  a 
bit  broader  than  usual.  He  loved 
every  tiring  moment  of  It.

tence  was  the  dwelling  of  exper- 
iences and  desires  repressed,  dri- 
ven from  the  conscious,  because 
of  their  painful  or  revolting  na- 
ture— but  which  nonetheless  were 
active  forces  on  the  individual's 
behavior.  Freud  explored  this  un- 
conscious, exposing  tire  id;  in- 
stinctive social  and  antisocial 
drives,  whtsh  include  hostility, 
sexuality,  aggression.  Counter- 
balancing this  force  is  the  ego.  a 
thin  layer  of  rational  conscious- 
ness which  at  the  same  time  must 
moderate  the  superego,  a  sort  of 
unconscious  conscience.  Stability 
principle,  libido  instincts,  eros, 
death  drives-all  categorized  by  this 
"pervert",  Freud. 

Bob  Raynsford  discussed  Freud's 
work  in  the  field  of  group  psycho- 
logy, a  logical  extension  of  his 
theories  of  individual  psychology, 
but  including  important  factors 
which  occur  only  when  individuals 
mass  together:  lack  of  intellectual 
activity,  feelings  of  great  power, 
suggestability,  contagion'  of  senti- 
ment— all  characteristics  of  the 
pre-game  rally. 

The  effect  of  the  Fi'eudian  the 
ories  upon  litersture  has  been  con 
siderable,  the  last  speaker  of  the 
panel,  Mr.  Savacool,  stated:  but 
the  change  has  taken  place  in  the 
manner  in  which  fiction  is  read, 
not  written.

riw  Vole 

When  the  voters  went  to  the  polls  Monday,  t!iey  faced  lliis 
problem:  Crowded  conditions  this  year  have  made  it  neccess.iiv 
to  "double  se.s.sion"  the  junior  and  senior  high  schools  (senidrs 
attend  in  the  morning  juniors  in  the  afternoon).  A  "yes'  'voti'  mi 
the  issue  meant  that  tlie  average  ta.\  payer  was  consenting  to  pa 
an  estimated  $33  per  year  for  20  years  in  order  to  repay  $l,630,0iK) 
loan. 

Mr.  Harper  pointed  out  that  each  month  ol  lU'lay  in  buildiii!; 
the  new  school  is  costing  the  town  about  $1(),(KK)  dollars.  The  n;\- 
.sons:  rising  building  costs,  and  liigli  interest  rates.  He  also  iiolcil 
that,  while  there  has  been  no  signilicant  increase  in  high  scliool 
enrollment,  the  elementarv  school  iiopulation  is  "swelling." 
Wilt/  No  School? 

Why,  then,  in  the  face  of  rising  costs,  and  ultimate  neccessity, 
did  the  Willianistown  voters  vote  against  the  new  school  jiroject? 
Mr.  HaijM'r  ollered  one  e.\plaiiation:  "the  reluctance  of  taxpayers 
to  speiui  until  they  are  satisfied  that  there  is  no  possible  alter- 
native."

s' tcntly  drove  throuKh  the  defen.sc

Williams    Cools 

After  the  first  thirty  minutes. 
Williams  cooled  off  considerably, 
nnd  the  Cardinals  were  quick  to 
lake  advantage.  The  visitors  clos- 
ed the  margin  to  78-73  with  three 
minutes  to  bo  with  a  presslnR  de- 
fcn.se  and  looked  as  though  they 
might  catch  up.  Bill  Hedeman 
.scored  two  lay-ups  in  succe.s.sion 
to  pull  the  Ephmen  out  of  danger, 
liowever,  and  Coach  Shaw  was 
able  to  use  his  second  stringers 
for  the  last  minute. 

Williams  had  four  men  in  dou- 
ble figures.  Bob  Parker  was  high 
.scorer  with  twenty-one  followed 
by  Jeff  Morton  with  nineteen.  Bill 
Hedeman  with  .seventeen,  and 
Marv  Welnstein  with  fifteen.  Cap- 
lain  John  Lewis  scored  eight 
points  early  in  the  game  to  get 
the  Ephmen  off  to  their  fine  start. 
Phil  Brown  also  played  a  large 
Dart  of  the  garno  nnd  .scored  four 
points. 

The  Williams  foul  shooting 
which  had  proved  disastrous  ear- 
lier in  the  season  was  good  tonight 
iis  the  Ephmen  hit  on  seventeen 
for  twenty  six  from  the  line.  The 
Ephs  were  noticeably  weak  under 
the  boards,  however,  and  only  a 
fine  shooting  percentage  saved 
them  from  this  inadequacy.

Annual  CareerWeekend  %^i'S 
To  Take  Place  Feb.  1-2 


50  Williams   Alumni 
To  Speak  On  Panels 

College  Gives  Free  Cuts 
To  Interested  Students 


By  Sandy  Hanjell 

Wednesday,  Jan.  16  -  Culminat- 
ing weeks  of  activity.  Placement 
Director  Manton  Copeland  Jr..  is 
currently  wrapping  up  last-min- 
ute preparations  for  the  third  an- 
nual Career  Weekend  liere  Feb. 
1-2. 

Serving  as  Executive  Secretary 
for  the  event,  Copeland  today  re- 
ported that  the  list  of  speakers 
is  now  virtually  completed,  with 
approximately  50  Williams  alum- 
ni .scheduled  to  appear.  Copeland 
noted  that  these  men  are  look- 
ing forward  to  Career  Weekend  "as 
much  if  not  more  tlian  the  stu- 
dents". 

The  Goal 

The  fundamental  purpose  of  the 
weekend  is  to  help  all  under- 
graduates obtain  first-hand  know- 
ledge about  various  vocations  and 
professions.  For  this  reason,  a 
full  complement  of  panel  discus- 
sions has  been  set  up  for  Satur- 
day, Feb.  2.  with  morning  sessions 
featuring  career  talks  and  after- 
noon meetings  being  concerned 
with  graduate  school   professions. 

The  cchcdulc  v.'aa  mapped  from 
returns  of  a  recent  Placement 
Bureau  poll  conducted  among  the 
student  body  which  saw  almost  an 
80  per  cent  return.  With  free  cuts 
being  awarded,  a  large  crowd  of 
students  is  expected  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  these  all-too-rare  op- 
portunities to  gain  valuable  in- 
sights into  various  businesses.

Critic  Miller  '57  Praises  Solo  Glee  Club  Concert 
Cites  Director  Nollner,  Singers  Brown,  Cupic,  Kim 


By  H.  Crane  Miller  '57 

Friday  evening  the  Williams 
Glee  Club  presented  its  solo  con- 
cert of  the  year  and  gave  the  fin- 
est concert  that  this  reviewer  has 
heard  the  organization  give  in 
four  years.  The  concert  was  not- 
able not  only  for  the  excellent 
program  that  featured  music  of 
the  seventeenth  through  twentieth 
centuries,  but  also  for  the  precise 
execution  of  the  music,  the  cul- 
mination of  many  long  hours  of 
arduous  rehearsal  lup  to  36  hours 
this  past  week).  It  is  a  tribute  to 
the  skill  of  Mr.  Nollner  and  to  the 
hard  work  of  the  group  that  as 
fine  an  ensemble,  accurate  en- 
trances and  cutoffs,  and  clear  e- 
nunciation  of  words,  as  was  heard, 
could-  be  attained  from  a  group 
with  such  little  relative  experi- 
ence. 

The  program  commenced  with 
Henry  Purcell's  "Let  the  Fifes  and 
the  Clarions"  from  "The  Faerie 
Queen",  written  in  1692.  Meant 
more  as  a  warm-up  piece,  its  pre- 
sentation was  notable  for  the  ac- 
curacy of  the  entrances  and  cut- 
offs, and  the  clearness  of  the 
words,  every  one  of  which  could  be 
understood,  thus  announcing  the 
quality  of  presentation  to  come. 
The  Purcell  is  a  fine  example  of 
a  two  part  canon  which  is  sung 
over  a  basso  ostinato.  played  on 
the  piano.  Its  secular  text  is  short 


The    Williams    College  Glee    Club,  reviewer   Miller    termed  "the 
finest"  he  has  heard  it  give. 


chard  Coeur-de-Lion"  was  a  thor- 
oughly delightful  and  unique  ex- 
perience for  our  stage.  Gretry  was 
known  as  the  "Moliere  of  music", 
as  this  piece  certainly  points  out. 
Don  Brown  sang  the  tenor  solo 
for  "Chanson  du  Sultan  Saladin". 
making  tlie  most  of  the  humor  and 
sometimes  raucous  fun  that  is  a 
part  of  the  work.  The  whole  Club 
took  up  the  vitality  conveyed  by 
Brown  to  run  through  some  of  the 


most  tongue-twisting  of  French 
and  typical  of  Purcell's  choice  of  |  that  I  have  ever  heard.  The  unique 
texts,  extolling  music  through  the  !  part  for  our  stage  was  the  dla- 


sound  of  the  fifes,  clarions,   and 
shrill  trumpets  until  "the  arch  of 
high    heaven    the    clangour    re- 
sound".

The  second  section  consisted  of 
sacred  music  of  the  eighteenth

Marc-Antoine  Charpentier's  "Pie

clratc  in  neomenia  tuba"  were 
then  .sung  by  the  Glee  Club.  The 
Buxtehude  was  carefully  excKiuted 
by  the  Small  Group  witli  the  help 
of  a  small  string  ensemble  and 
Mr.  Robert  Barrow  playing  the

Purple  Key  Plans 
Dance  Of  Feb,  9 


Athletic  Contests,  Hi-Fi's 
To  Highlight  Weekend 


Wednesday.  Jan.  16  -  Billville's 
weekenders  will  get  a  chance  to 
get  back  into  shape  for  housepar- 
ties  after  their  exam  layoff,  the 
Purple  Key  announced  today,  at 
a  weekend  it  is  sponsoring  Feb.  9- 
10. 

This  date  was  originally  tabbed 
for  Winter  Carnival  but  later  was 
abandoned  when  Dartmouth  u- 
surped  the  weekend  for  their  Car- 
nival. The  Purple  Key  decided  to 
put  on  a  dance  anyway  to  go  a- 
long  with  the  full  slate  of  home 
athletics  which  includes  hockey 
against  Amherst,  basketball  ver- 
sus Vermont  and  wrestling  with 
Coast  Guard. 

Hi-Fi's 

Tlie  dance  will  be  lield  Satur- 
day night  in  the  freshman  lounge 
of  Baxter  Hall.  Music  will  be  fur- 
nished by  the  "Hi-Fi's",  a  group 
of  versatile  locals  which  produces 
swing  sounds  and  Rock-and-Roll 
as  well  as  conventional  dance  ar- 
rangements. Tlie  combo,  a  vet- 
eran of  several  Williams  frater- 
nity dances,  currently  plays  at 
the  "Midway"  in  Adams. 

At  the  intermission  "Tlie  'V- 
8's"  from  Mt.  Holyoke  and  a 
freshman  octet  will  sing.  The  $1.50 
admission  to  the  dance  will  en- 
title couples  or  stags  to  a  share  In 
numerous  kegs  of  beer  which  will 
be  tapped  in  the  Lower  Lounge. 

Freshman  Hours 

The  Feb.  9  weekend  will  be  the 
first  weekend  function  run  by  the 
Purple  Key  since  it  was  reorganiz- 
ed last  year. 

According  to  dance  chairman 
Jim  Scott  '58.  freshmen  will  be 
allowed  to  have  dates  in  tliclr 
rooms  Saturday  from  9:30  p.m. 
until  midnight  in  addition  to  their 
regular  hours. 

The  Key  now  boasts  a  bank  bal- 
ance of  $164.  and  must  attract  at 
least  100  couples  to  break  even  on 
their  dance. 


Williams  Still  Maintains 
Firm  Policy  -  Copeland 


Wednesday,  Jan.  16  -  The  prob- 
lem of  increased  demand  for  col- 
lege education,  spotlighted  in  a 
recent  "Newsweek  Magazine"  sur- 
vey, also  "looks  terrifying  to  Wil- 
liams", according  to  Admissions 
Director  Frederick  Copeland. 

"Newsweek"  noted  that  although 
current  college  enrollment  totals 
3  million,  the  heavy  influx  of  war 
babies  now  in  elementary  schools 
would  double  that  figure  by  1970 
and  skyrocket  it  to  virtually  12 
million  by  1977.  In  contrast,  the 
magazine  pointed  out  that  the 
1,900  institutions  of  higher  learn- 
ing in  the  United  States  will  not  be 
able  to  handle  anything  near  that 
heavy  an  influx  of  students  by 
that  time. 

Problem   Acute  Here 

Locally,  the  Admissions  Office 
has  been  feeling  the  pressure  for 
some  time,  as  Copeland  states 
that  the  number  of  applications 
has  jumped  approximately  100  ev- 
ery year  for  the  past  several  years. 
Over  2,000  students  filed  prelim- 
inary forms  and  between  1,500- 
1,600,  final  applications  for  the 
286  berths  in  the  present  fresh- 
man class. 

In  comparison  to  other  schools 
listed  in  the  "Newsweek"  survey, 
Williams'  statistics  are  similar  to 
Amherst's  while  Harvard  took  one 
out  of  three  applicants  this  year, 
Yale,  one  of  four.  Columbia,  one 
of  five.  Brown  and  Princeton,  one 
of  six  and  Mt.  Holyoke,  one  of 
five.  In  each  case,  however,  more 
students  were  accepted  than  even- 
tually appeared  as  freshmen. 

Admission   Policy 

In  addition,  therefore,  to  this 
major  problem  of  Increased  de- 
mand for  college  degrees,  which 
"Newsweek"  fears  may  have  to  be 
solved  by  "conveyor-belt"  educa- 
tion as  giant  public  institutions,  a 
secondary  issue  arises  over  cur- 
rent heightened  academic  stan- 
dards required  for  admission  into 
top  colleges. 


Hutchinson  Award 

The  Hubbard  Hutchinson  Mem- 
orial Scholarship  was  established 
in  1940  by  Mrs.  Eva  W.  Hutchin- 
son in  memory  of  her  son.  Wil- 
liams '17.  It  is  awarded  to  a  mem- 
ber of  the  graduating  class  suf- 
ficiently talented  in  creative  work 
in  music,  writing,  painting,  psy- 
chology, or  the  sciences.  The  re- 
cipient receives  $3000  a  year  for 
two  years.  Last  year's  winner  was 
David  Kleinbard  who  also  won  a 
Fulbright  Fellowship. 

The  Charles  Bridgen  Lansing 
Scliolarship  in  Latin  and  Greek 
was  established  by  Mrs.  Abby  S. 
L.  Selden  in  memory  of  her  fa- 
ther. Last  year's  winner  was  Royce 
Gruenler,  now  studying  in  Aber- 
deen, Scotland. 

The  John  Edmund  Moody 
Scholarship  was  established  in 
1927  by  Mr.  John  Moody  in  mem- 
ory of  his  son,  Williams  '21.  Tliis 
scliolarship  enables  a  graduate  of 
Williams  to  continue  his  studies 
at  Oxford  University  for  two 
years.  The  scholarship  averages 
about  $1500,  and  was  awarded  to 
T.  Price  Zimmerman  last  year. 

The  Carroll  A.  Wilson  Scholar- 
ship Fund  was  established  in  1949 
by  the  will  of  Carroll  A.  Wilson 
'07,  in  memory  of  his  son  John 
E.  Wilson.  Williams  '44.  The  in- 
come will  be  devoted  to  a  schol- 
arship for  members  of  the  grad- 
uating class  for  attendance  after 
graduation  at  the  University  of 
Oxford.  England.  The  scholarship 
averages  about  $1000.  Robert 
I  Mlrak  received  the  award  in  1955. 


Poor  Attendance 
Harasses  Council 


C.  C.  Fails  To  Obtain 
Necessary    Quorum 

Monday,  Jan.  14  -  Only  eleven 
members  showed  up  for  the  Col- 
lege Council's  pre-exam  meeting 
tonight.  With  six  members  alisent 
the  C.C.  was — because  of  failure 
to  fill  a  quorum — unable  to  vote 
on  a  proposal  that  candidates  for 
class  office  be  required  to  give 
their  views  on  important  issues 
in  a  pre-election  meeting.  An  all 
college  election  will  take  place  in 
February. 

Much  of  the  meeting  was  spent 
in  condemning  apathy  among  stu- 
dents. Arne  Carlson  '57,  held  that 
pre-election  meetings  would  help 
to  break  the  "barrier  of  apathy" 
which  exists  at  Williams.  John 
Winnacker  '57,  felt  that  the  pub- 
licity of  candidates'  views  before 
class  elections  would  lead  towards 
a  "much  more  representative" 
college  government. 

Poor  C.C.    Attendance 

Winnacker  pointed  to  poor  at- 
tendance at  tonight's  meeting  as 
a  sign  of  apathy,  "even  among 
class  leaders".  "I  think  if  you  had 
more  reprfesentative  leaders,  you 
wouldn't  have  this."  he  added. 

In  other  election  news.  Frank 
Dengel  '57.  reported  that  the  C.C. 
Rules  and  Elections  Committee 
had  turned  down  a  proposal  that 
candidates  run  for  individual  of- 
fices. At  present  the  candidates 
with  the  most  votes  receive  class 
offices  in  order  of  majority.  Den- 
gel said  that  the  Committee  felt 
that  the  proposed  system  would 
result  in  a  loss  of  talent.

An  Opportunity 

The  third  aimiml  Ciirccr  WeekeiKl  to  be  lield  on  February  1-2 
affords  iinderi;raduates  an  e.xcelleiit  opportunity  to  ehirify  their 
plans  for  the  futtne.  Tlie  .selection  of  a  .suitable  voealion  is  one  of 
the  ijriiicipje  and  more  ditlieult  problems  eonfrontin^  tlie  eolles^e 
student.  Tliis  was  pointed  out  l)v  Stephen  Hose  in  iiis  Personal 
Slant  which  appt'aretl  hist  October.  He  noted  the  Kick  of  thought 
that  students  i;a\e  to  tliis  a,ll-iniportant  decision.  Career  Weekend 
is  designed  to  hi'lp  ])repare  the  midergraduate  for  luakinj;  a  wise 
choice. 

.•\lthout;h  in  tlu'  past,  the  Placement  Bureau  and  the  Collej;e 
Comicil  ha\e  j^earcd  Careci  Weekend  to  juniors  and  seniors  it 
would  be  wise  for  all  unders^raduates  to  attend  at  least  some  part 
of  the  weekend.  The  Friday  niffht  session  will  be  es|)ccially  lielp- 
ful  as  it  will  attempt  to  i^ivc  a  picture  of  what  happens  to  the  stu- 
dent after  he  leaves  collesre  and  as  it  will  deal  with  the  transition 
from  a  Liberal  Arts  collej^e  to  the  business  or  prt)fessional  world. 

The  Saturday  mornins;  and  afternoon  meetin!;s  are  more  S])cc- 
ific  in  nature.  These  will  cover  such  fields  as  acKeitisini;,  public  re- 
lations, journalism,  manufacturing  research  and  de\elopment, 
Government  work,  foreifrn  business  opportuniiies,  investment 
banking  and  brokcraj^c,  cor]5orafe  sales,  jjersonnel  and  labor  re- 
lations. There  are  also  |>.uic:ls  on  jj;raduatc  schools;  law,  nic;!icinc, 
engineering,  business  administration,  architecture  and  teaching. 
Each  panel  will  be  led  by  men  whc>  ha\e  achiesed  prominence  in 
tlieir  fields  and  are  interested  in  lending  assist;uice  to  under- 
graduates. 

The  RECORD  strongly  urges  all  students  regardless  of  class 
to  attend  Career  Weekend. 

But  Nobody  Came  .  .  . 

Last  Friday  the  Williams  Glee  Club  gave  a  highly  finished 
performance  in  Chapin  Hall.  .As  Crane  .Nliller's  review  on  page 
one  points  out,  a  trcinentlous  aniomit  of  hard  work  goes  into  suci 
a  concert.  It  was  thus  e.vtreniely  disheartening  to  find  Cliapin  les.^ 
than  half  filled.  One  observer  remarked,  "It  may  not  be  much  ol 
an  audience,  but  it's  certainly  a  liarcl  con:  one."  To  be  sine  the 
usual  small  group  of  faculty  and  townspeople  turned  out.  The  ob- 
vious fault  lay  in  student  attcndcnce.  There  could  not  have  beei. 
more  that  twenty  students  in  the  audience  as  the  concert  started. 
A  few  more  filtered  in  after  the  intermission. 

Why  the  poor  atteudence?  The  Concert  was  well  ])ublici/.ed. 
The  program,  though  not  filled  with  familiar  numbers,  was  \aricd. 
The  answer  may  well  be  that  few  students  wish  to  |)av  the  dollar 
admission  fee.  If  this  is  so,  if  students  would  attend  were  there  ik; 
admission  fee,  then  the  Glee  Club  should  change  its  policv.  Ad- 
mittedly the  Glee  Club  needs  financial  sup]5ort.  IJut  a  filled  eon- 
cert  hall  is  worth  more  than  the  twenty  dollars  the  Glee  Club  made 
from  students  on  Friday  night.  If  a  student's  identification  card 
will  get  him  into  a  football  game,  why  shouldn't  the  same  rule 
hold  tor  Glee  Club  concerts?

Billville  Keeps  Police  Department  Busy 


Hi/  ]oc  Albrijilit 

The  four-man  Williamstown  Police  Department  has  to  cope 
with  every  problem  which  besets  large  city  police,  with  the  e.\- 
ception  of  narcotics,  explained  Chief  George  A.  Royal  in  :i  recent 
RECORD  interview. 

"We   have   run  into   almost   every   conceivable   crime,   Iroin 
murder  and  grand  larceny  to  children  playing  hookey,"  he  as- 
serted, lie  was  (|iiick  to  add  that,  as  in  any  community,  most  ol 
the  work  comes  from  traffic  violations  and  accidents. 
Collcfic  I'rohlvim 

Does  Williams  College  cause  any  special  headaches  to  the 
local  force'r'  Yes,  said  Royal  with  a  grin,  but  no  really  serious  ones. 

"In  general  Williams  student.s  are  pretty  gootl  drivers,"  he 
asserted.  The  main  problems  are  traffic  tie-ups  after  football 
games  or  pep  rallies.  The  force  also  must  patrol  the  campus  e.xtra- 
earefully  on  houseparty  and  homecoiuing  weekends. 

Doesn't  the  police  department  get  pretty  annoyed  about 
some  student  pranks'P 

"No,  it's  ail  in  the  job",  said  Royal,  "and  if  we  didn't  like  the 
job  we  wouldn't  keep  it." 

Chief  29  years 

The  most  amusing  prank,  he  recalls,  oceinieil  when  two 
students  swiped  a  neighbor's  milk  cow  and  enticed  her  into  a 
friend's  room  in  Fayerweather.  Fortunately  for  the  cow,  the 
police  got  her  out  20  minutes  later. 

The  Williamstown  Police  Department  began  in  1927  and 
Roval  was  its  only  officer  for  inanv  vears.  1957  marks  his  30th 
year  as  chief.  The  other  men  who  are  presently  on  the  force  are 
Stephen  L.  Poirot,  Francis  A.  Coleman  and  Joseph  Zoitot  Jr., 
World  War  U  vets.  Chief  Royal  is  married  and  has  one  son  who 
is  in  the  |.  C;.  Penney  college  training  program  in  Pittslield. 
19.35  A/i(i(/c;' Ctixc 

Williamstown's  biggest  police  case,  if  not  the  most  publi- 
cized, came  in  1935  when  a  Williams  freshman  apiiarently  went 
berserk  and  went  on  a  shooting  spree,  lie  killed  one  Iriend  and 
wounded  another  and  then  closed  the  case  bv  killing  himsell. 

Glee  Club  .  .  . 

tal  grou|)s,  neither  ever  dominating  to  the  detriment  of  the  other, 
yet  still  gi\ing  em])hasis  to  the  vocal.  Nick  Wright,  "Pepijei"  Par- 
sons, ancl  Don  Smith,  all  '57,  sang  the  solos  verv  ably  in  "Pie 
Jesu".  "Huecinate  in  neomenia  tuba"  is  a  mar\elous  piece  of  mu- 
sic, reflecting  the  semi-dramatic  chinch  music  that  Schuetz  ile- 
veloped,  which  still  has  a  powerful  and  ])le:ising  ellect  todav.  1 
tliink  this  was  sung  with  great  feeling,  es|)eeially  the  "jubilate 
Deo"  and  the  "Craniate  et  e.xultate"  sections. 

Technically  the  highlight  of  the  e\ening  was  Paul  Ilindi'- 
mith's  "\'ari;iti()nen  nebi'r  ein  altes  Tan/lied",  sung  bv  the  Small 
Group,  ilindemith,  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  modern  school  ol  (Ger- 
man coin]M)sers,  re\erted  to  a  modern  exposition  of  the  old  classic 
stvie  and  forms  of  .Middle  .\ge  German  folk-music  in  1924.  and 
this  piece,  written  inl939  is  one  such  product.  The  result  is  one 
of  the  most  difficult,  exacting  works  in  all  modern  choral  reper- 
toire, certainly  one  of  the  most  exciting.  Its  difficulty  rises  out  ot 
the  brilliant  use  of  dissonant  counterpoint,  oiten  establishing  two 
lOnal  centers  between  the  different  voices,  for  instance,  C;  major 
and  F  major,  which,  when  sounded  against  each  other,  negate 
traditional  19tb  centurv  harmony.  Although  definitelv  not  atonal, 
the  conflict  of  tonality  that  arises  jjresents  difficidtv  to  anv  choral 
;;roup  whose  training  is  in  traditional  harmonv.  rhiis,  the  work 
re(|iiires  exact  iiitcli  and  total  faniiliaritv  or  else  it  will  tail  apart. 
The  Small  (Jroup  did  exceedinglv  well  with  it,  atbongh  it  wil  be 
more  of  a  ijleasiire  to  hear  them  perforin  this  later  in  tlie  vear  when 
the\'  are  more  at  home  with  the  music.  .\  greater  sense  ot  ensem- 
ble and  clearer,  more  precise  tone  will  add  greatlv  to  the  total 
effect  of  the  piece.  1  fervently  hope  that  in  the  future  Mr.  Noll- 
ner  will  continue  to  use  more  of  the  eontemporarv  idiom  in  his 
programs. 

The  program  was  concluded  with  works  by  D\'orak,  Robert 
Schumann,  Fran/  Schubert,  and  lolk-mnsic  arrangements  by 
Archibald  T.  Davison.  The  Sehuinann  and  Schubert  were  very 
tvpieal  of  the  composers,  the  one  very  romantic,  the  other  lyric. 
The  Peddler",  a  Russian  folk-song,  was  be;iiitifullv  done  bv  the 
Club,  while  David  Nexiii,  '57,  sang  well  and  scored  a  personal 
triumph  with  the  solo  of  the  Scottish  folk-song,  "Turn  ve  to  me ". 
Hubert  Baxter's  solo  in  the  English  "Breiman  on  the  Moor"  was 
full  of  vitality  and  expression,  adding  greatly  to  the  Robin  Hood 
like  theme. 

The  credit  for  the  high  quality  of  the  program  certainlv  goes 
to  Mr.  Nollner,  while  thanks  must  be  gi\en  to  Larrv  .Mien  .58,  and 
David  Rust  '60  for  their  competent  piano  accompaniment,  and  to 
the  string  ensemble  and  Mr.  Barrow  for  the  time  thev  contributed 
to  the  performance  of  the  Buxtehude,  Charpentier,  and  Schuetz. 
My  hope  is  that  more  students  will  turn  out  to  hear  the  Glee  Club 
in  their  remaining  concert  in  Williamstown  April  7.  when  a  joint 
concert  with  the  Smith  College  Choir  and  Orcliestra,  plus  solo- 
ists, will  feature  the  major  part  of  the  Ilaydii  "Creation". 

This  concert  will  afford  Williams  College  students  and  area 
residents  an  opijortimity  to  hear  two  of  the  finest  singing  aggre- 
gations in  the  East.  The  superior  work  done  by  the  Glee  Club 
certainly  commands  our  suiiport.  Don't  miss  their  next  concert!

eyes.  Ho  took  a  taxi-dcrniist  down  to  the  store  prd  pecked  up  a  bottle 

of  Wildroot  Cream-Oil.  Now  he's  the  picture  of 

confidence  because  he  knows  his  hair  always  looks  its

hooting  at  your  messy  hair,  screech  for  a  bottle  or

The  most  recent  Williamstown  ease  to  attract  wide  attention 
was  the  smashing  of  a  number  of  high-priced  organ  pipes  in  the 
College  Chapel  in  the  spring  of  195-1. 

An  arouud-tlie-clock  manhuiil  went  on  lor  several  weeks  but 
the  vandals  were  never  found.  The  ea.se  was  further  complieatiil 
when  someone  broke  into  the  Dean's  office  and  made  off  with 
the  cut  records. 

Both  crimes  were  attributed  to  the  same  person,  who  was 
innnediately  dubbed  "the  Phantom".  Roval  and  a  special  Umi 
picked  up  and  grilled  si'veral  suspects,  but  "the  Phantom"  was 
not  found.  Roval  now  believes  (In'  damage  was  done  by  some 
niiie-year-olds  playing  hide-aiid-si'ek  in  the  organ  loft. 
Rmitiiic  Work 

To  cope  with  routine  work,  the  force  maintains  a  secoml 
floor  office  on  Water  Street  and  two  police  cars.  \  "dispatelu  r 
stays  ill  the  office  about  12  hours  a  dav  and  one  of  the  eai  , 
cruises  at  least  20  hours. 

The  dispatcher  keeps  a  short-wa\c  radio  eoimeetioii  with  th. 
police  car.  Calls  in  the  middle  ol  the  night  are  handled  by  a'l 
automatic  jjlioiie  answering  machine. 

Williamstown  now  has  hiur  lull-tiiiie  men  and  two  S|)eci  il 
officers  on  its  payroll,  but  there  is  a  chance  the  force  will  be  al 
most  doubled  in  1957.  Chief  Royal  has  submitted  a  report  I.. 
the  Board  of  Selectmen,  in  which  he  re<|iiested  .$11,0IM)  a  yeai 
to  hire  three  more  officers. 

"This  would  allow  us  to  operate  on  a  24-hour  basis",  e\ 
plained  the  chief. 

Williamstown  has  a  noiie-too-modern  two-cell  lockup  in  thr 
rear  of  a  Water  St.  garage.  This  snfiiees  tor  male  prisoners,  but 
state  law  requires  that  lemale  or  jmcnile  ollenilers  be  jailed  .d 
the  county  institution  in   Pittslield. 

The  town  has  uo  crime  laboratorv  ami  must  depend  <iii 
criminologists  at  the  state  lab  in  Boston.  On  certain  cases  the 
FBI  has  sent  men  from  its  .Vlbany  office.

have  a  date  already."

Anna  I.ivia  did  not  really  have  a  date, -but  she  wa.s 
expecting  to  lie  aked  by  Stewart  Stalwart,  athlete  and 
RMOC.  haiulsonie  as  Apollo,  smooth  as  ivory,  driver  of 
a  '2.!l  litre  liugatti,  wearer  of  faultless  tweeds,  smoker 
of  Philip  Morris  Cigarettes,  which,  even  without  his 
other  achievements,  would  liy  itself  stamp  him  as  a  man 
of  discrimination,  as  the  posse.s.sor  of  a  pleasure-oriented 
palate,  as  one  who  smoked  for  the  pure  joy  of  it,  who  had 
sought  and  found  a  cigarette  lirimming  over  with  zest 
and  zip  and  hearty  good  fellowship  -  Philip  Morris! 

Well  sir,  Anna  Livia  waited  feu-  Stewart  to  ask  her, 
Init  two  days  before  the  Prom,  to  everybody's  amazement, 
he  asked  Uose-of-Sharon  Kin.solving,  a  nondescript  girl 
with  pavement  colored  hair  and  a  briefca.se. 

Anna  Livia  sobbed  for  a  spell  and  then,  not  wishing 
to  miss  the  most  gala  event  of  the  junior  year,  she 
phoned  Werther  Sigafoos. 

"My  Prom  date  has  come  down  with  a  dread  virus," 
Hhe  .said,  "and  I'll  accept  your  invitation,  Waldrop." 

"Werther ;•  .said  Werther.   "Oh,  goody  ganders!" 

The  next  day  Anna  Livia  received  a  phone  call  from 
Stewart  .Stalwart.  "My  Prom  date  has  come  down  with 
a  dread  virus,    he  said.  "Will  yon  go  with  mo?" 

"Certainly,"  she  said  and  immediately  phoned  Wer- 
ther and  said,  "I  have  come  down  with  a  dread  virus  and 
cannot  go  to  the  Prom  with  you.  Whipstitch." 

"Werther,"  said  Werther.    "Oh,  mice  and  rats!" 

ho  Anna  Livia  went  to  the  Proiti  with  Stewart  and 
Who  do  you  think  they  ran  into?  Rose-of-Sharon  with 
Werther,  that's  who! 

Stewart  had  felt  obliged  to  ask  Rose-of-Sharon  be- 
cause she  always  did  his  homework,  hut  she  had  weaseled 
out  because  she  really  wanted  to  go  with  Werther  with 
Whom  she  felt  a  great  oneness  liccause  they  were  both 
so  dumpy.  He  fell  wildly  in  love  with  her  at  the  Prom, 
and  today  they  are  married  and  run  a  very  .successful 
live-minnte  auto-wash  in  New  Bern,  N.  C. 

Anna  Livia  and  Stewart  are  happy  too.  They  arc 
still  juniors  and  have  not  mi.s,sed  a  Prom  in  six  year.s.

his  opponent  taking  the  same  and 
match  18-17, 

Stafrord  Tups  Ilerinusilla 

Meeting  Juan  Hermosilla,  sec- 
ond ranked  player  at  the  Inter- 
collegiaU'.s,  Stafford  took  him  in 
five  games,  a  victory  which  is  li- 
able to  seed  Stafford  second  be- 
hind Heck,scher  at  the  National 
Intercollegiates  this  year.  Staf- 
ford dropped  the  first  game,  7-15, 
but  went  on  to  win  the  match, 
15-10,  16-14,  12-15.  15-10.  Her- 
mosilla lost  in  five  games  to  Heck- 
.selier  in  the  finals  of  the  Inter- 
coDegiates  last  year. 


Junior  Ollie  Stafford  who  de- 
feated Juan  Hermosilla  of  MIT 
'n   an  outstanding  upset. 

In  the  Harvard  match,  the  en- 
lire  Purple  squad  lost  in  three 
straight  games  except  for  Crosby 
Smith,  playing  number  .seven,  who 
won  the  first  two  games  and  then 
blew  the  match  unexpectedly. 
Smith's  loss,  however,  \i'a.s.  next 
to  Stafford's  the  highlight  of  the 
afternoon  for  the  visitors.  Sam 
Eells,  this  year's  Captain,  com- 
mented that  Harvard  "should  go 
undefeated  this  year  as  it  was  the 
best  team  I've  ever  come  i:p  a- 
gainst".  In  reality,  the  Crimson 
nine's  only  close  match  should  be 
with  Navy,  and  even  there  they 
are  highly  favored. 

The  M.I.T.  encounter  was  a 
complete  reversal  of  the  previous 
afternoon,  with  the  Chaffeemen 
having  little  trouble.  Rog  South- 
all,  number  two,  won  his  matcli  in 
four  games,  and  Tom  Shulman,  in 
the  closest  match  of  the  day  -was 
victor  after  five  games,  although 
he  won  the  last  two  15-5  and  15-4. 
Eells,  Dick  Ennis,  Bill  Weaver, 
Smith,  Charlie  Alexander  and 
Chris  Schaeffer  all  took  their 
matches  easily  in  three  games. 


Basketball  .  .  . 

In  tlie  preliminary  game,  the 
Dartmouth  freshmen  completely 
smothered  their  Epli  counterparts 
to  triumph  80-53.  Even  the  Indian 
second  stringers  were  able  to  pull 
away  from  the  out-manned  Eph 
yearlings.  Tlie  Williams  frosh  had 
one  of  their  poorer  nights,  but 
even  with  a  good  one  it  Is  doubt- 
ful whether  they  could  have  given 
a  game  to  the  taller,  deeper  and 
more  skillful  visitors.

To    Determined   Tufts; 
Lombard    Stands    Out 


Saturday,  Jan,  12  -  Despite  a 
4-1  lead  mid-way  through  the  sec- 
ond period,  the  Eph  Icemen  drop- 
ped a  5-4  decision  to  a  slow  Tufts 
team.  On  the  previous  day.  Wil- 
liams romped  over  winlcss  M.I.T. 
16-2,  as  Dave  Cook  and  Doug  Poole 
scored  the  hat  trick. 

Tufts  capitalized  on  Williams' 
mistakes,  scoring  twice  with  an 
Eph  in  the  penalty  box.  Periodic 
careless  play  and  inaccurate 
shooting  characterized  the  Pur- 
ine's play.  Jumbo  Jim  McLauch- 
lan  scored  the  initial  goal  at  3:05, 
but  Dick  Flood  evened  the  score 
at  6:40,  assisted  by  Poole.  Three 
minutes  later.  Rich  Lombard  pick- 
ed up  Howie  Patterson's  blocked 
shot  and  backhanded  the  puck  In- 
to the  net. 

Lombard   Scores  Again 

Lombard  .scored  again  at  3:45 
of  the  second  period  as  defense- 
man  John  Holman  was  credited 
with  an  a.ssist.  A.s.sisted  by  Tony 
Bradley  and  Poole,  Mike  Grant 
netted  the  Ephs'  final  tally  from 
a  scramble. 

Tufts  fought  back  as  Bob  No- 
lan rammed  home  Charlie  Cinto's 
rebound  at  10:18.  McLauchlan 
scored  his  .second  goal  at  15:57  af- 
ter taking  Cinto'.s  pass.  Although 
the  puck  hit  the  side  post  and 
bounced  directly  out,  the  shot  wa-= 
scored  as  a  goal.  Cinto  knotted 
the  score  at  3:34  of  the  final  frame 
as  he  scored  from  mid-zone  on  a 
screen  shot. 

Score  on  Face-Off 

From  a  face-off  in  the  Purple's 
zone.  Nolan  knocked  the  puck  di- 
rectly in  front  of  the  cage  and 
teammate  Tony  Stamegna  drove 
it  home  at  16:21.  At  17:09  Nolan 
was  penalized.  For  two  solid  min- 
ites  Williams  kept  the  puck  in  the 
victors'  zone,  but  during  this  time 
goalie  John  Phalen  kicked  out  C 
shots  and  the  Eph.s  failed  to  capi- 
talize on  their  final  break. 
After  First   Period 

It  was  a  different  story  the  pre- 
vious night  as  fourteen  different 
Eplis  received  at  least  one  a.ssist 
or  one  goal.  Although  the  Beavers 
only  trailed,  2-1,  after  the  initial 
period,  Williams  completely  dom- 
inated the  puck  with  superior 
hustle,  pa.ssing  and  skating. 

The  Ephs  then  erupted  for  seven 
goals  in  both  the  second  and  tliird 
periods.  Goalies  Dick  Marr  and 
Denny  Doyle  were  forced  to  fend 
off  nine  M.I.T,  shots  while  the  los- 
ers' goal-tenders  Jim  McCabe  and 
Joe  Burgle  managed  to  block  43 
Williams  .scoring  threats. 

Besides  his  hat  trick,  Doug 
Poole  collected  three  assists.  Dick 
Flood  picked  up  two  goals  and  two 
a.ssists,  while  Dave  Wood  and  Mike 
Grant  were  credited  with  two  as- 
sists and  a  goal,  Paul  Skala  scor- 
ed both  M.I.T.  goals,  the  .second 
coming  in  the  final  frame.

Two  pool  records  were  set  by 
the  visiting  team,  both  of  them  in 
events  new  to  the  pool  this  year. 
In  the  first — and  critical — event, 
the  400  yard  medley  relay,  a  team 
of  Buzzard,  McGill,  Luberaski  and 
Koenz  nipped  Williams  in  the  time 
of  4:12.0.  In  the  100  yard  butter- 
fly Syracuse  captain  John  Mc- 
Gill teamed  with  Buzzard  for  a  tie 
for  first  in  the  record-setting  time 
of  1:04.6. 

Warren  Frischmann  of  Syra- 
cuse took  the  dive  in  a  beautiful 
exhibition  of  the  diving  which  has 
made  him  a  top  eastern  diver, 
while  a  teammate  narrowly  edged 
out  Jones  for  second.  The  400  yard 
freestyle  relay  team  of  Mennen, 
Hyland,  Frost  and  Reeves  took  the 
final  relay  with  ease,  but  to  no 
avail  sin;e  the  meet  had  been  de- 
cided, like  last  year,  in  the  previ- 
ous event.

IN  THI  "SNOW  COiWtt  "  OF  NIW  INGUND 


Saturday,  Jan.  12  -  The  Wil- 
liams wresllinfs  team  dropped  Its 
first  match  of  the  season  this  af- 
ternoon, losing  to  a  well-balanced 
Springfield  squad,  15-8.  The  out- 
come of  the  match  was  in  doubt 
until  the  next-to-last  bout  how- 
ever, as  the  Ephs  made  a  strong 
bid  to  upset  the  visitors.  The  un- 
defeated Maroons  assured  them- 
selves of  a  win  when  'Vic  Lewln 
pinned  Ted  Baumgardner  of  Wil- 
liams at  2:36  of  the  third  period 
in  the  177  pound  class  to  bring  the 
score  to  15-5.  A  large,  highly-par- 
tisan gathering  witnessed  the  con- 
test on  the  Lasell  Gym  mats,  wild- 
ly cheering  on  the  underdog  Ephs 
at  every  opportunity. 

The  opening  123  pound  match 
between  co-captain  Ed  Amerantes 
of  Springfield,  NE  champion  last 
year,  and  John  Evans  of  Williams 
had  the  crowd  roaring  in  support 
of  the  outclassed  Eph  wrestler. 
After  the  first  period  ended  at, 
2-2.  Amerantes  raised  his  advan- 
tage to  a  final,  8-2,  but  was  unable 
to  pin  the  scrappy  Evans.  This 
one-sided  win  gave  the  visitors  a 
3-0  lead  in  the  match. 

Wieneke  Triumphs,  8-1 

Kuhrt  Wieneke,  outstanding 
Williams  sophomore  at  130,  tied 
the  score  at  3-3  in  the  next  bout 
as  he  dominated  his  contest  with 
Bill  Chassey  to  win  by  8-1.  At 
137,  captain  Ted  McKee  of  the 
home  team  was  downed  in  a  elose 
3-2  struggle  by  Rich  Dickey  of 
Springfield.  Dickey  scored  2 
points  in  the  first  period  on  a 
take  down  to  1  for  McKee  on  an 
escape.  Another  point  for  Dickey 
on  a  second-period  escape  made 
it,  3-1,  and  the  Williams  captain 
was  able  to  pick  up  only  1  point 
in  the  final  three  minutes. 

With  the  score  5-3  for  the  Mar- 
oons, their  147  pound  entry,  Joe 
Bianowicz,  decisioned  the  Ephs' 
Jim  Hutchinson  by,  4-2,  to  leng- 
then the  visitors'  match  lead  to 
7-3.  With  the  bout  at  2-0  in  fa- 
vor of  Bianowicz  going  Into  the 
last  period,  Hutchinson  scored  his 
only  2  points  on  an  illegal  body 
swing  while  his  opponent  added 
2  more. 

Koster  Defeats  Burger,  2-0 

At  157,  in  the  big  match  of  the 
day.  Bob  Koster  of  Williams  con- 
tinued his  win  streak  in  a  thrill- 
ing contest  with  Murt  Burger  of 
the  Maroons.  Staying  away  from 
Koster  as  much  as  possible,  Bur- 
ger held  tlie  bout  scoreless  until 
the  final  period.  Then,  Koster 
scored  1  point  on  an  escape  and 
another  on  time  advantage  to  edge 
his  opponent. 

This  win  cut  the  Springfield 
lead  to  7-5  and  set  the  stage  for 
the  remaining  three  bouts,  which 
would  decide  the  final  result.  Gene 
Sullivan  carri(!d  a  6-2  lead  into 
the  third  period  in  his  match  with 
Bickum  of  the  Maroons,  An  es- 
cape and  a  take  down  by  Bickum 
sliced  this  to  6-5  however,  before 
he  was  able  to  pin  Sullivan  at 
1:58,  This  comeback  victoiy  in- 
creased the  visitors'  advantage  to 
11-5,  but  with  two  matches  left, 
the  Ephs  wei'e  still  in  a  position 
to  pull  out  a  win  or  settle  for  a 
tie  on  two  three-point  decisions. 
Baumgardner    Pinned 

Lewin  of  Springfield  ended  all 
Eph  hopes  for  even  tying  when  he 
pinned  Baumgardner  with  only 
24  seconds  left  in  the  bout.  The 
Maroon  wrestler  held  a  large  5-1

Bach   Interpreter 

Gould,  young  as  he  is,  is  con- 
sidered by  many  critics  to  be  load- 
ing modern  interpreter  of  the 
works  of  J.  S.  Bach.  After  his 
American  debut,  in  Washinston. 
D.  C.  Jan..  1955,  the  critic  of  the 
Washington  Post  commented,  "We 
know  of  no  pianist  anything  like 
him  at  any  age". 

Under  exclusive  contract  by 
Columbia  Records,  his  first  re- 
lease was  a  recording  of  Bach's 
Goldberg  Variations,  of  which 
Time  magazine  said,  "it  is  played 
as  Bach  himself  would  have".  His 
only  other  recorded  work  consists 
of  three  Beethoven  sonatas.  Op. 
109,  110  and  111.

History 

Born  in  Toronto,  Gould  receiv- 
ed his  early  musical  training  at 
the  hands  of  Alberto  Guerrero  and 
the  Royal  Conservatory  of  Music, 
graduating  at  the  age  of  twelve. 
He  made  his  formal  debut  with 
the  Toronto  Sympliony  in  1947. 
His  American  debut  was  in  Feb.. 
1956,  and  he  will  make  a  Euro- 
pean debut  with  the  Berlin  Sym- 
phony in  March. 

During  the  course  of  the  con 
cert'  s^a's*oS."Cfoiild~wiirplay'  with 
most  of  the  better-known  orches- 
tras in  the  United  States  and 
Canada.  The  Soviet  Union  lias  ?x^ 
tended  him  one  of  their  rare  in- 
vitations to  play  in  Russia  this 
summer.  In  addition  to  his  conc:!rt 
work,  he  is  a  well-known  lecturer 
on   the  modem   composers. 

Idiosyncrasies 

Typical  of  many  concert  per- 
formers, Gould  has  his  share  of 
unusual  traits  and  rituals.  Wher- 
ever he  poes,  he  insists  vpon  us- 
ing his  own  piano  chair.  It  is 
somewhat  lov.'cr  than  conventional 
models  and  has  a  special  adjust- 
ment to  compensate  for  non-level 
floors.  Also,  he  soaks  his  hands 
and  w^rists  in  hot  water  before 
each  performance,  "to  loosen 
them  up". 

However,  Gould  is,  according  to 
Professor  Irwin  Shainman,  "con- 
sidered by  many  to  be  one  of  the 
finest  young  pianists  today".

WHEN  THE  LUCKIES  are  gone,  you've  still  got  the 
memory  of  some  great  smoking.  You've  also  got  a 
Slack  Pack.  Chin  up,  though,  you  can  get  more  clown 
at  the  store— and  every  Lucky  tastes  like  a  million 
bucks.  That's  because  every  Lucky  is  made  of  fine  to- 
bacco—mild,  good-tasting  tobacco  that's  TOASTED 
to  taste  even  better.  Have  you  tried  a  Lucky  lately? 
It's  the  best-tasting  cigarette  you  ever  smoked!

Coffin  Speaks  On 
Meaning  Of  Cross 

Young    Minister    Outlines 
Christian    Regeneration 


Sunday.  Feb.  3  -  "The  toughest 
fight  is  not  with  other  people.  It's 
with  oui'.selves."  Thus  Reverend 
William  Sloane  Coffin  prefaced  his 
sermon  to  a  medium-sized  group 
of  students  at  the  Tliompson 
Memorial  Chapel  this  evening.  The 
.young  I  Yale.  '49 1,  bespectacled 
minister  proceeded  to  outline  the 
three  basic  meanings  of  the  cross 
to  the  Christian. 

Speaking  clearly  and  extempor- 
aneourly,  Rev.  Coffin  said  that  the 
biggest  struggle  is  between  man's 
own  will  I  "I")  and  God's 
<"Thou"i.  The  first  meaning  of 
the  cross,  he  slated,  was  as  a  sym- 
bol of  humility,  the  recognition  of 
finltude.  "Tlie  cross  then  becomes 
a  capital  'I'  crosiied  out." 

When  man  becomes  humble,  he 
sees  his  own  inability  to  follow 
God's  will.  He  sees  himself  as  a 
"great  big  minus".  However,  in 
seeing  the  cross,  he  must  recognize 
God's  love.  For  the  cross,  said 
Coffin,  is  "a  great  big  minus  made 
into  a  plus". 

Rev.  Coffin's  final  point  Is  that 
we  should  see  the  cross  as  a  whole. 
Too  often  we  .separate  the  vertical 
(man-God)  and  horizontal  (man- 
neighbor)  elements  of  the  cross. 
An  active  faith  requires  a  con- 
tinual view  of  our  earthly  relation- 
ship thiough  the  vertical  perspec- 
tive of  God.

lege will  hold  its  first  aimual  Purple  Key  Weekend  on  February

weekend  will  include  an  all-college  dance  as  well  as  numerous 
athletic  events.  The  actual  dates  of  tbi'  weekend  are  those  which 
were  originally  chosen  lor  Winter  Carnival  belore  it  came  into 
conflict  with  the  Dartmouth  Winter  C^ariiixal. 

The  Purple  Kev  Dance  will  start  Saturday  night  at  9;'30  and 
will  eontimie  until  midnight.  The  Hi-Fis  will  proviili'  both  swing 
and  dance  music,  and  cntertainniciit  will  be  represented  by  tlie 
\'-Ss  fnnn  llolvoke  and  a  newly  formed  freshman  octet.  The  \'-8s 
are  a  group  of  thirteen  girls  from  South  Hadley  who  have  been 
successful  singers  at  many  college  weekends. 

Frcsltimm  Octet 
Da\i'  Paresk\-.  'fiO,  had  formed  a  new  freshniau  octet  which 
will  make  its  debut  at  the  dance.  Pour  kegs  of  beer  will  be  t;ip]5i'd 
throughout  the  course  of  the  evening  in  the  l^athskeller.  to  which 
till'  dancers  can  retire  from  the  fresliniaii  lounge.  Stags  are  wi'l- 
comed  by  the  Society  to  come  along  and  hel])  drink  up  the  l)eer.  hut 
the  charge  for  both  stags  and  couples  is  lii  1..5(). 

The  Pnr])le  Key  Weekend  coniniittee  has  decided  to  ]int  out 
a  program  listing  all  sporting  events  and  line-ups  of  the  variinis 
teams  who  will  play  over  the  weekend.  The  program  will  he  dis- 
tributed free  of  charge. 

Athletic  Events 
The  home  athletic  events  for  the  weekend  include  basketball 
with  A'ermont,  hockey  with  Amlicrst,  swimming  witli  the  UniNer- 
sity  of  Connectictit.  and  WTCstling  with  the  Coast  Guard.  There  is 
also  a  srinash  match  with  Princeton  on  I'ridav.  I'eb.  8  which  is  the 
only  planned  event  for  that  day.  The  Purple  Kev  committee  feels 
certain,  however,  that  there  will  he  plenty  of  unplanned  activities 
on  I'riday, 

Tlie  committee  for  the  dance  was  headed  hv  Jim  Scott.  '.58. 
who  is  the  treasurer  of  tlie  Purple  Kev  Society.  Others  on  the  eoiii- 
mittee  included  Diek  Clokey,  '58,  Gordon  Held  '58,  and  the  presi-

Student  Government 


In  the  spring  of  1954,  the  students  passed  a  new  coiistitntioii 
de-sii^ned  to  "foster  a  sijirit  of  unity  and  coo|5eration  amonj^  the 
stndents  of  the  eollej^e"  and  "to  deselop  aniouf^  the  students  a  sense 
of  personal  responsiljOity  for  their  conduct  and  the  welfare  of  the 
collei^e".  It  is  rather  obvious  to  any  obser\'er  that  the  jirineiple 
pur]X)se  of  the  founders  has  not  been  fulfilled.  But  the  fact  still  re- 
mains that  the  Williams  student  has  a  remarkable  opjjortunitv  to 
make  self-go\ernnieiit  more  of  a  realit\'  than  it  has  been. 

Contrary  to  pojjidar  opinion,  the  College  Council  is  not  just  a 
forum  of  opinion.  Bather  it  is  accountable  to  the  students.  It  can 
act  lor  all  students  and  can  speak  in  the  name  of  the  entire  student 
body.  Such  a  coherent  governing  council  can  command  more  res- 
|)ect  and  iniportanct'  in  the  eves  of  the  administration,  the  faculty, 
the  ahnnni,  and  the  students.  Howe\er,  in  order  to  work,  the  Col- 
lege Council  nuist  command  such  res|)ect  from  all  these  elements. 
Defection  by  any  one  of  these  groups  can  mean  frustration  for  the 
objectives  of  the  government.  Has  anyone  ever  stop])ed  to  calculate 
the  bargaining  (lower  of  a  unified  student  body? 

The  tragedy  of  VVillianis  student  government  is  that  the  stu- 
dents have  ciefected  and  because  of  their  defection  the  College 
Council  has  been  hindered  and  the  adnuiiistration  has  occasionally 
been  granted  the  responsibility  of  student  government  through  de- 
fault. By  and  large,  the  students  are  too  engrossed  in  the  easual- 
ness  of  the  white-buck  atmosphere  to  really  care  about  self-govern- 
ment. If  this  pattern  continues,  then  student  government  may  as 
well  desolve. 

However,  the  RECOBD  firmly  believes  that  student  govern- 
ment must  be  preserved  at  all  costs  and  it  is  with  this  belief  that 
it  passes  out  the  following  suggestions. 

1  -  The  adoption  of  bi-weekly  class  meetings  as  recommend- 
ed by  the  CC. 

2  -  The  election  of  representatives  on  the  basis  of  ability. 

3  -  Increased  use  of  able  students  who  are  not  of  the  College 
Council  to  serve  on  committees.  The  CC  desperately  needs  original 
minds. 

4  -  A  constant  awareness  on  the  part  of  all  students  of  the  pro- 
blems confronting  the  college  and  a  willingness  to  act. 


LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR 

TO  THE  STUDENT  UNION  COMMITTEE: 

We  would  like  to  propose  a  jjlan  that,  we  think,  would  broad 
en  the  scope  and  activities  of  Ba.xter  Hall.  At  the  ]5resent  time  its 
chief  functions  are  for  dining  and  recreational  purposes.  There 
is  an  opportunity  for  it  to  serve  more  of  an  edncationl  purjiose. 

Basically,  the  proposal  woidd  include  the  following: 

1)  Every  two  weeks  some  member  of  the  faculty  would  be 
invited  to  the  student  Union  to  eat  and  afterward  to  speak  for 
possibly  one  half  hour  on  some  topic  of  general  or  current  interest. 

2)  After  the  opening  remarks,  there  would  be  a  directed  dis- 
cussion and  questions  lasting  for  possibly  one  hour. 

3)  Tliese  would  be  held  in  the  Rathskeller  and  attendance 
would  be  entirely  voluntary. 

4)  These  discussions  could  be  publicized  thru  amuxmcements 
at  the  dining  hall,  in  the  advisor,  and  over  WMS  and  occasionally 
thru  posters. 

Two  houses  on  campus  have  plans  that  are  <nn'te  similar  to 
this  and  have  found  it  successful.  There  is  certainly  a  wealth  of 
subjects  during  the  course  of  the  year  that  would  be  provocative 
enough  to  maintain  'iiterest.  Occasionally,  an  outside  sjieaker  could 
be  invited  to  particr  ate  in  .such  a  discussion.  If  each  fre.shman  on 
ly  attended  two  of  these  during  the  year,  attendance  would  avei- 
age  about  thirty  five.  Even  this,  we  feel,  would  make  the  plan 
well  worth  the  trouble.  Such  a  pro]3osal,  of  comse,  would  have  to 
be  worked  out  in  detail  and  the  imperfections  corrected.  If  this 
was  put  into  operation  it  would  jjrovide  the  freshmen  with  a  great- 
er opportimity  to  meet  faculty  members,  iiarticipate  in  informa- 
tive discussions.  We  hope  the  Student  Union  Committee  will  give 
this  proposal  full  consideration. 

Respectfully  Submitted,

Hi/  Ernie  linhofi 

Uming  a  reception  gi\ea  in  honor  of  C^olonel  and  Mrs.  Clark 
Williams  on  Jamiary  6,  1939,  Col  Williajiis  '92  expressed  the  hope 
"that  there  may  be  in  the  Faculty  House  a  meeting  ground  afford- 
ing comfort,  recreation  and  that  pleasure  which  comes  Iroiii  more 
intimate  association  with  one  another  tliiongh  the  years."  The  oc- 
casion was  the  dedication  ceremonies  of  llie  newly  elected  Faculty 
lIou.se  on  Park  and  .Main  Streets  which  luid  been  made  a  reality  at 
Williams  C^ollege  bv  the  generosity  of  Mis.  Williams  who  today 
still  takes  an  active  interest  and  (^ol.  Williams,  Trustee  from  1909- 
1935  and  Trustee  Enu'ritus  until  his  death  se\  c^ral  years  ago.  In- 
deed these  words,  spoken  as  the  symbolic  ke\s  were  handed  to 
President  Ba.xter  emphasized  just  as  clearly  thi>  proh'ssorate  bonds 
which  have  for  years  been  prevalent  on  the  campus  through  the 
spirit  of  the  Williams  Faculty  Clid). 

From  its  birth  in  NoNcmher,  1912  and  early  years  when  laei- 
lities  and  interest  slowly  took  form,  the  club  has  grown  to  c-.xist  now 
as  a  popular  fraternity  of  faculty  members,  trustees  and  Irieiids  of 
Williamstown.  The  club's  increased  interest  and  si/.e  benelited 
greatly  by  the  short  move  from  the  old  Faculty  iloirse  on  llo.xsey 
and  Main  as  the  group  was  afforded  with  facilities  which  are  so 
instrumental  in  the  varied  jjrogram  of  social  activities  held  during 
the  year. 

Attractive  Structure 
The  Faculty  House  itself  is  a  handsome  Georgian,  red-l)rick 
building  furnished  to  accord  with  the  widespread  interests  of  the 
members.  The  structure  is  composed  of  IS  rooms  which  are  divid- 
ed into  four  heat-controlled  sections,  each  fitteil  with  its  own 
thermostat.  The  woodwork  throughout  the  interior  is  mostly  cedar 
and  piiu'  ap|iropriately  reminiscent  of  (;ol.  Williams'  ))lautation 
home  near  Camden,  S.  C,  the  "Cedars  and  tin'  Pines ". 

The  first  floor  consists  of  the  main  lounge,  the  west  end  of 
which  has  a  glass  enclosed  |)oreb.  a  panneled  reading  room,  a 
ladies  lounge,  dining  room,  jiantrv  and  kitchen.  Upstairs  are  two 
bedrooms  for  visiting  speakers  and  guests,  ser\iee  ipiartcrs  anil 
"the  den",  a  room  designed  bv  the  facidtv  h)r  ])ersonal  treasincrs  of 
Col.  and  .Mrs.  Williams.  The  entire  basement  is  devoted  to  die 
game  room  e(|uipped  with  two  bowling  allevs  on  which  either 
duck,  caudle  or  king  pins  may  be  used.  Odier  <'(piipiiieiil  inehide

A  man's  thinking  about  his  future.  Perhaps  he's 
riiinkiug  about  military  service  or  marriage  or  a 
business  career— they're  all  |5retly  important. 

Maybe  this  inau  is  iiou.  If  so,  you'll  want  to 
know  about  the  careers  available  at  Cotuiecticut 
General. 

Why?  Because  we're  growing  at  an  exceiitional 
rate.  In  ten  years  the  combined  assets  of  all  life 
insurance  coin|oanies  have  doubled.  Ours  have 
tripled. 

You  might  well  ask  what  can  our  growth  mean 
to  you.  It  means  young  men  with  executive  po- 
tential can  rise  rapidly.  You  might  reason  correct- 
ly that  you  can  grow  faster  with  as. 

See  your  Placement  Director  for  further  infor- 
mation about  a  career  with  Connecticut  General. 
When  you  do,  make  a  date  to  discuss  voitr  future 
with  our  representative.  He'll  be  on  campus  soon.

THE   DKKSS    I'AKADK 

What  will  the  American  cnlleKe  .student  wear  thi.s 
sprinp:?  Gather  round,  ymi  raseal.-i.  and  liKlit  a  k""(1 
Philip  Morri.'i  Cigarette,  ami  pulT  that  rich,  natural  tn- 
baccii,  atid  po.ssci.s  your  .souls  in  sweet  enntent,  and  listen. 

As  we  know,  college  fashions  have  always  been  casual. 
This  spring,  however,  they  have  become  mal,-eshifl. 

The  object  is  to  look  mailly  improvi.sed,  gail.v  sjiiir-of- 
the-mimient !  For  example,  girls.  I  ry  a  peasant  skirt  with 
a  (ihiner  .jaeket.  Or  matailcir  pants  with  a  hiidal  veil.  Or 
BiTinuda  shcirls  with  hruiize  breast  plates.  He  rakish! 
Bk  inipi-omptu!    Be  devil-take-lhe-hindmost ! 

And,  men,  you  be  the  same.  Tiy  an  opera  eape  with 
sweat  pants.  Or  a  letter-sweater  with  kilts.  Or  a  strait- 
jaiki't  with  hip  hoot.s.  Behold!  Be  daring!  He  a  touri.st 
attriiction ! 


r 


But  all  is  not  innovation  in  college  fashions  this 
spring.  In  fact,  one  of  the  highlights  of  the  .season  turns 
time  backward  in  its  (light.  I  refer  to  the  comeback  of 
the  powdered  wig. 

This  charming  accoutrement,  too  long  neglected,  has 
already  caught  on  with  style-conscious  students  all  over 
the  countr.v.  On  hundreds  of  campuses  rock-and-roll  is 
giving  way  to  the  minuet,  and  patriotic  undergraduates 
are  dumping  British  tea  into  the  nearest  harbor.  This,  of 
course,  does  not  sit  well  with  old  King  George.  For  that 
matter,  a  lot  of  our  own  peiii)le  are  steamed  up  too,  and 
there  ha.s  even  been  some  talk  of  revolution.  But  I 
hardly  think  it  will  come  to  that.  1  mean,  how  can  we 
break  with  the  mother  country  when  we  are  dependent 
on  her  for  so  many  things  -  linsey-woolsey,  minie  halls, 
taper  snuffers,  and  all  like  that?  She,  on  the  other  hand, 
relies  on  us  for  turkeys,  Philip  Morris,  ("inemaseope,  and 
other  valuable  exports.  So  I  say,  if  Molly  Pitcher  and 
those  other  Bryn  Mawr  hotheads  will  calm  down,  we  may 
yet  find  an  amicable  .sidution  for  our  differences.  But 
let  not  our  British  cousins  mistake  this  willingness  to 
negotiate  for  weakness.  If  fight  we  must,  then  fight  we 
will!  Paul  Revere  is  .saddled  up,  the  rude  bridge  arches 
the  flood,  and  the  ROTC  is  ready ! 

But  I  digress.  We  were  smoking  a  Philip  Morris 
rigarette-O,  darlin'  cigarette!  O,  happy  smoke!  0, 
firm!  0,  fresh!  0,  fragrant!  0,  long-size!  O,  regular! 
0,  get  some! -and  talking  of  new  spring  fashions,  let 
us  turn  now  to  the  season's  most  striking  new  feature; 
pneumatic  underdrawers.  These  inflatable  rubber  gar- 
ments make  ever.y  chair  an  ea.sy  chair.  Think  how  wel- 
come they  will  be  when  you  sit  through  a  long  lecture! 
They  are  not,  however,  without  certain  dangers.  Last 
week,  for  example,  Rimbaud  Sigafoos,  a  University  of 
Pittsburgh  sophomore,  fell  out  of  an  I8th  story  window 
in  the  Tower  of  Learning.  Thanks  to  his  pneumatic 
underdrawers,  he  suffered  no  injury  when  he  struck  the 
sidewalk,  but  the  poor  fellow  is  still  bouncing  and  it  is 
feared  that  he  will  starve  to  death.

lien   Dietz    and   Don    Lum   took 

rst  and  third  in  the  220.  The  tide 

emed  turned  in  Sprintifield's  fa- 

.jr  when  Springfield's  Clark  beat 

hie  to  the  fini.sh  In  the  50.  but  he 

';id  missed  a  turn   and  was  dis- 

iuallfled.   The   change   in   points 

lere  was   not  crucial   In  deciding 

Mie  meet. 

After  leading  almost  the  entire 
way.  Bob  Severance  was  beaten  to

field  captured  fust  and  third  in

In  X-Country,    Jump 

Lebanon.  N,H..  Feb.  3  -  The 
Williams  Ski  Team  competed  in 
the  Lebanon  Outing  Club  Invita- 
tional Cross  Country  and  Jumping 
Meet  here  this  weekend.  No  team 
point  score.s  were  kept  but  most  of 
the  colleges  entered  in  next  week's 
Dartmouth  Carnival  entered 
teams. 

Saturday's  crass-country  race 
was  dominated  by  Finnish  run- 
ners, who  captured  three  of  the 
first  five  places.  Co-captain  Pete 
Elbow  was  the  first  Ephman.  fjn- 
Kshing  18th  out  of  50.  11  minutes 
behind  the  winner.  Jim  Becket  was 
24th  two  minutes  behind  Elbow, 
Jeff  Fisher  was  27th  and  co-cap- 
tain Hugh  Clark  was  28th. 

The  jumping  event  was  held  to- 
day on  the  Mt.  Lebanon  40-meter 
hill.  Lack  of  snow  along  with  the 
unseasonable  warm  weather  put 
the  hill  in  something  less  than 
ideal  condition.  Elbow  once  again 
led  the  Williams  team,  finishing 
in  the  top  five  of  the  combined 
skiers  and  in  the  top  three  in  the 
Class  C  jumping  event.

Lake  Forest.  111..  Feb.  2  -  Wil- 
liams led  Lake  Forest  for  three 
quarters  tonight  in  the  second 
round  of  the  Lake  Forest  Centen- 
nial Tournament,  but  with  Dick 
Martin  hitting  for  13  points  in  the 
last  ten  minutes  the  Foresters 
overcame  the  tiring  Ephmen  and 
stalled  to  a  78-71  victory.  Bob  Par- 
ker led  the  Eph  scoring  with  23 
points,  while  Jeff  Morion  did  a 
terrific  reboimding  job  and  added 
21  points.  On  Fi-iday  night.  Tom 
Davidson's  driving  lay-up  with  24 
seconds  remaining  capped  a  great 
Williams  rally  and  tied  the  score 
at  76-all,  but  Carleton  pulled  a- 
head  in  the  overtime  period  to  take 
an  87-84  win, 

Williams  trailed  the  entire  game 
against  Carleton  and  at  one  point 
in  the  third  quarter  were  behind 
by  13,  but  sparked  by  Ira  Kowal 
and  Marv  Weinstein  the  Ephmen 
staged  a  sensational  last  quarter 
rally  to  send  the  game  into  over- 
time. In  the  overtime  period,  Wil- 
liams led  three  times  on  baskets  by 
Weinstein  and  Davidson  before 
Carleton  went  ahead  84-82.  Phil 
Brown  then  scored  on  a  long-one- 
hander  to  tie  the  score,  but  the 
Knights  from  Northfield.  Minn., 
pulled  ahead  again  to  win  by  three. 

Weinstein  Scores  24 

Weinstein  had  his  fine.st  game  of 
the  season,  scoring  24  points  to 
pace  the  Eph  attack,  while  Kowal 
scored  15,  Hedeman  14,  Parker  13 
and  Morton  10.  Bill  Walsh  led 
Carleton  with  24,  while  Mike  Ar- 
macost  got  22  and  George  Wells 
21.  Coach  Al  Shaw's  .squad  was 
handicapped  late  in  the  game  by 
the  loss  of  four  starters  on  fouls, 
as  Lewis.  Parker,  and  Morton 
fouled  out  in  the  fourth  quarter 
and  Weinstein  and  Kowal  were 
lost  in  the  overtime  session. 

Williams  was  not  the  same  team 
against  Lake  Forest  on  the  fol- 
lowing night,  but  the  Ephmen  led 
by  intermi-ssion  36-31  after  a  see- 
saw first  half  and  were  ahead  by 
one  at  the  three  quarter  mark,  be- 
fore Martin  began  to  connect  on 
his  one-hand  sets  to  boost  the  For- 
esters into  the  lead  to  stay. 


Wednesday.  Feb.  6  -  The  Wil- 
liams basketball  team  dropped  two 
games  previous  to  the  recent  Lake 
Forest  Centennial  at  Lake  Forest. 
Illinois.  On  Wednesday,  January 
16th  the  Ephs  lost  a  close  73-71 
decision  to  the  University  of  Mas- 
sachu.setts  at  Amherst.  The  Red- 
men  have  one  of  their  best  teams 
of  recent  years  this  season.  The 
Purple  five  played  again  on  Mon- 
day, January  28th  in  New  York 
City  again.st  the  New  York  Ath- 
letic Club.  WiUiams  was  complete- 
ly outclassed  in  this  game,  trailing 
all  the  way  and  finally  being  de- 
feated, 93-60. 

Against  U.Mass.,  Williams  was 
behind  42-34  at  the  half  and  64- 
50  at  the  end  of  the  third  quarter, 
and  still  was  able  to  pull  up  with- 
in two  points  at  the  finish.  The 
Redmen,  with  all-around  star 
Jock  Foley  leading  his  team  with 
20  points,  simply  had  too  much 
finesse  and  were  able  to  hold  off 
the  determined  bid  of  Coach  Al 
Shaw's  sophomore  five.  Center 
Jeff  Morton  turned  in  a  fine  per- 
formance at  center,  throwing  in 
27,  and  guard  Bob  Parker  con- 
tinued his  top  play  with  15  more. 

The  Ephs  trailed  by  only  39-32 
in  the  N.Y.A.C.  game,  but  could 
score  only  28  points  in  the  whole 
second  half  as  against  54  for  the 
more  experienced  home  squad. 
Parker  again  was  outstanding  for 
the  visitors  as  he  stayed  up  among 
the  leaders  in  Western  Mass.,  scor- 
ing by  adding  20  points.  Morton 
was  next  high  man  with  15  but 
the  rest  of  the  Williams  players 
were  unable  to  convert  consistent- 
ly. 


Princeton,  Feb.  2  -  With  a  suc- 
cessful shift  in  the  line-up  the 
Williams  skaters  hustled  to  a  3-2 
victory  over  an  imder-rated 
Princeton  squad  for  their  second 
Ivy  League  victory.  Moved-up  to 
wing,  Rick  DrLscoll  scored  the  vic- 
tors' initial  goal,  while  sophomore 
Tom  Piper  competently  filled  the 
vacated  defensive  spot. 

Displaying  constant  hustle  and 
good  teamwork,  the  Ephs  possibly 
turned  in  their  best  performance 
of  the  season,  as  they  evened  their 
record  at  6  and  6.  Williams  used 
its  points  to  good  advantage  as 
the  defensemen  peppered  the  Ti- 
ger goal. 
Welles  Scores  From  Center  Zone 

With  a  Tiger  in  the  penalty  box, 
DriscoU  scored  from  15  feet  on  a 
good  pass  play  from  Dave  Cook 
and  Dick  Lombard  at  14:58  of  the 
first  period.  At  1;56  of  the  second 
frame  defenseman  George  Welles 
took  Dick  Flood's  center-zone 
face-oft  and  back-handed  it  into 
the  net  from  ten  feet  inside  the 
neutral  zone.  Three  minutes  later 
Bob  Leinbach  tallied  the  Ephs'  fi- 
nal goal  from  a  scramble  in  front 
of  the  cage;  Bob  Lowden  was  cre- 
dited with  the  assist.

Kick  DriscoU,  who  switched  from 
defense  to  wing  on  the  Williams 
hockey   team. 

Princeton  fought  back  when 
Kim  Townsend  scored  on  Henry 
Rulon-Miller's  rebound  at  11:33 
while  Williams  was  a  man  down. 
At  13:33  Townsend  scored  again 
as  he  slapped  a  loose  puck  past 
goalie  Marr.  Charlie  Hauser  and 
Ken  Wilkenson  collected  assists. 

Princeton  dominated  the  final 
period  as  they  out-shot  the  visi- 
tors, 15-7.  Princeton's  chance 
came  as  Ephman  Dick  Flood  was 
penalized  at  1:58  and  14  seconds 
later  Cook  followed  him  in  the  box. 
With  a  two-man  advantage,  the 
Tigers  applied  pressure  in  vain  as 
Marr  kicked  out  five  shots  and  the 
Eph  defense  prevailed.  At  18:15 
Princeton  again  applied  the  pres- 
sure as  they  yanked  their  goalie, 
but  again  Williams'  superior  de- 
fense and  hustle  thwarted  the  at- 
tack. 

U.Mass  -  Williams  t«  Meet 

Wednesday.  Feb.  6  -  Seeking  to 
improve  their  already  commend- 
able 6-6  record,  the  Williams  'Var- 
sity hockey  teams  plays  host  to  U- 
Mass.  this  afternoon  at  4:00.  Cap- 
tain George  Welles  seemed  opti- 
mistic about  the  outcome,  for  the 
Redmen  do  not  have  a  powerful 
team  this  year.  The  visitors  have 
compiled  wins  over  weak  Wesleyan 
and  Amherst  squads.  13-2  and  4-1, 
but  they  were  trounced  by  AIC 
13-2,  the  latter  having  been  beaten 
by  the  Ephmen  in  a  practice 
scrimmage. 

Rick  Driscoll's  switch  to  the  line 
changes  the  starting  line-up,  with 
Tom  Piper  replacing  him  at  sec- 
ond defense  with  John  Holman. 
The  first  line  is  now  Dave  Cook. 
Rich  Lombard  and  DriscoU,  with 
the  second  and  third  lines  and 
the  first  defense  remaining  the 
same.  Dave  Wood  will  now  be  used 
mainly  as  a  penalty  killer.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD  WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  C,  1957 


Copeland  Terms  Career 
Weekend  'A  New  High' 


Wednesday.  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  Incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures. Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday    Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles.

CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discussion  in  the  Rathskeller 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan.  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally.  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts. 


Baxter,  Hawkins 

Short  addresses  were  also  given 
by  President  James  P.  Baxter  III 
and  Ira  Hawkins  '16.  President  of 
the  Society  of  Alumni.  President 
Baxter  also  participated  in  the 
Teaching  panel  Saturday  after- 
noon. 

Only  four  scheduled  speakers 
failed  to  attend  the  sessions,  two 
of  them  being  ill  and  two  others 
being  held  back  by  impassable 
highways  near  their  homes. 

Copeland  praised  the  work  of 
the  undergraduate  committee 
which  aided  the  Placement  Bu- 
reau in  the  preparations  for  the 
weekend.  Sandy  McOmber  '57, 
headed  the  student  group.  Cope- 
land added  that  he  is  now  under- 
taking a  critical  evaluation  of  the 
weekend  in  hopes  of  making  the 
event  even  better  next  year. 


Wednesday.  Feb.  6  -  The  first 
council  of  the  class  of  1960  is  in 
the  process  of  winding  up  their 
work  for  the  first  semester  and 
evaluating  the  questionnaire  for 
the  new,  incoming  council.  Tile 
three  main  problems  which  the 
council  now  faces  are  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  Winter  Car- 
nival weekend,  an  effort  to  get 
PT  credit  for  freshman  managers, 
and  securing  adequate  finances 
tor  the  council's  projects. 

In  its  last  meeting  on  Thurs- 
day, January  31,  the  council  out- 
lined its  plans  for  the  Winter  Car- 
nival. The  plans  are  only  prelim- 
inary since  the  new  council  will 
be  in  session  when  the  weekend 
takes  place.  However,  arrange- 
ments for  the  band  and  the  enter- 
tainment for  the  freshman  dance 
are  being  made  now.  It  is  expected 
that  tile  band  will  be  made  up  of 
members  of  the  Boston  Conserva- 
tory of  Music,  and  the  entertain- 
ment will  be  made  up  of  two  sing- 
ing groups,  the  Freshman  Octet 
and  another  group  from  a  girls 
.school. 

Finances  Discussed 
The  financial  report  for  the 
first  half  of  the  year  was  read  by 
Secretary-Treasurer,  John  Good 
He  made  a  plea  to  the  council  to 
take  immediate  action  on  raising 
money  to  bolster  the  class'  sagging 
monetary  condition.  The  council 
by-passed  a  suggestion  to  levy  an- 
other student  tax.  and  voted  unan- 
imously to  fill  the  treasi;ry  with 
proceeds  from  the  Winter  Carni- 
val weekend. 

The  council  also  set  up  a  com- 
mittee to  investigate  the  possi- 
bilities for  obtaining  Physical 
Training  credit  in  the  capacity  of 
manager  of  a  fresliman  team.  Bob 
Julius  was  made  chairman  of  this

Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . . 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  ore  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  c  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  their* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

Sunday.  Feb.  3  -  Five  Hungari- 
an refugees  arrived  to  take  up  re- 
sidence in  Williamstown  this  af- 
ternoon. One  of  them.  Gabor  Tel- 
eki,  25.  is  enrolled  as  a  student  at 
Williams.  The  other  four,  ihc  Os- 
wald Csanadi  family,  have  come  to 
live  and  work  here. 

Teleki.  who  escaped  from  Hun- 
gary in  November,  has  been  in  re- 
fugee quarters  at  Camp  Kilmer. 
N.  J.,  smce  Jan.  1.  His  enrollment 
at  Williams  is  largely  the  result 
of  an  early  offer  by  the  Phi  Delta 
Theta  fraternity  of  room  and 
board  to  any  qualified  Hungarian 
student.  The  Williams  adminis- 
tration agreed  to  defray  tuition 
and  fees  if  such  a  student  could 
be  found.  Teleki  was  referred  to 
Williams  by  a  Mr.  Schell  in  New 
York  who  met  the  young  refugee 
at  Kilmer. 

Special   Student 

Teleki  will  be  enrolled  as  a  spe- 
cial student  until  his  scholastic 
position  can  be  determined.  He 
speaks  some  English  and  is  fluent 
in  German  and  French.  His  inter- 
ests are  classical  music,  literature, 
and  photography.  He  hopes  to  be 
an  engineer.  Teleki  has  not  been 
to  school  since  1950  because  the 
Communist  regime  denied  him  ac- 
cess to  higher  education  due  to 
his  descent  fi'om  the  old  Hungari- 
an aristocracy. 

The  Csanadi  family  Is  sponsored 
jointly  by  St.  John's  Episcopal 
Church  and  the  Delta  Upsilon  fra- 
ternity. It  includes  Mr.  and  Mrs.

council  with  the  administration's 
reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre- 
dit for  the  mimager's  efforts.  The 
council  then  decided  to  work 
through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Projects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coun- 
cil will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  In  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of 
the  answers  of  the  recent  ques- 
tionnaire, and  from  this,  the  coun- 
cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro- 
jects for  the  remaining  part  of 
the  year.

written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to-

here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm-

went  to  gi-eat  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  Incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon

respectively  to  take  top  honors.

^^Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . . 


Next  to  sex  and  mQri<.s,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  hos  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
it  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  post  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  ore  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  ore  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

^*itnodcicti<M, 


With  this  issue  the  members  of  the  1956-57  board  of  the  Record  retire.  As 
wc'liowout  we  wish  to  express  our  gratitude  particularly  to  President  Baxter, 
Dean  Brooks,  and  Senor  de  Lahiguera  for  their  constant  cooperation  and 
their  many  other  services  to  the  college. 

The  Record  presents  this  special  issue  as  its  tribute  to  Williams.  We  feel 
that  it  is  appropriate  that  this  tribute  take  the  form  of  a  review  and  criticism 
of  the  Williams  we  have  known.  .\t  first  sight  it  might  seem  strange  that  a  tri- 
bute should  criticise  as  well  as  review.  Criticism  is  often  branded  as  negative  and 
considered  to  be  motivated  only  by  bitterness  or  disgust.  It  is  our  conviction 
that  this  is  definitely  not  the  case  with  the  criticism  we  are  presenting.  On  the 
contrary,  we  are  criticising,  first  of  all,  because  we  consider  Williams  well  worth 
our  attention.  Secondly,  we  are  criticising  because  we  think  that  Williams  is  cjip- 
able  of  significant  improvement  and  that  it  can  rise  to  even  greater  heights. 

We  do  not  prop)ose  to  transfer  Williams  into  a  college  that  would  sug- 
gest a  "brave  new  world".  We  would  be  the  first  to  denounce  the  vulgar  re- 
former who  would  advocate  turning  Hopkins  Hall  around  so  that  it  would  face 
the  right  direction  or  those  who  would  needlessly  stamp  out  the  idiosyncrasies 
that  help  give  Williams  its  charm  and  character.  We  however  feel  that  only 
through  change  can  Williams  preserve  the  legacy  of  the  past.  Moreover,  only 
through  change  can  we  meet  the  demands  of  a  changing  world.

liarly  in  l'Vl)riiary,  after  the  announcement  of 
the  new  Honors  progiam,  a  si-ries  of  article^  on 
each  departmeiil  was  begun.  At  Mid-Wiiiier 
Homecoming,  the  alumni  fund  under  the  chair- 
manship of  David  B.  Mathias  '2(i  reached  the  re- 
cord total  of  $222,9.i1.  In  a  telephone  interxiow 
with  .'\rne  Carlson,  the  Kditor  of  the  Wesl(  yan 
Argus  revealed  that  by  September,  1957  the  Mid- 
dlelown  campus  would  be  co  ed  under  what  was 
termed  a  "co-ordinate  education"  plan  similar 
to  the  Harvard-Radcliffe  airangement. 

Student  Union  Controversy 

The  center  of  one  of  the  biggest  controverMisof 
March  was  the  Student  I'nion.The  Record  \\ 
student  opinion  poll  to  determine  the  siicci 
B;ixter  Hall.  Like  all  polls,  it  created  widi 
sension  and  lirought  a  deluge  of  letters  to  tin 
tor's  desk.  A  petition  of  complaint  against  the  quantitx'  and  quality  of  food  in  the  Student  Union  was  circulate, 
spring  recess  the  issue  had  been  forgotten,  as  many  Kphmen  followed  the  sun  to  the  South. 

The  newly  elected  members  of  the  Social  and  College  Councils  were  occupied  during  April  with  revising  the  lusli- 
ing  program  The  pref  and  sub  pref  periods  were  set-up  with  definite  quotas  to  eliminate  stratification  and  lik.gal 
rushing  Gargoyle  presented  a  proposal  for  the  adoption  of  total  opportunity  which  failed  to  pass  more  than  three 
Houses.  TheVurple  Key  was  successfully  reorganized  and  revitalized  undei;  the  chairmanship  of  1  ed  McKee,  an.l  the 
twelve  incoming  members  from  the  junior  class  were  announced  at  (iargoyle  Tap  Hay. 

Muir  Becomes  Olympic  Coach 
The  swimming  team  copped  their  thirteenth  consecutive  Little  Three  Championship,  as  well  as  the  New  ivng- 
land  Intercollegiate  Championship  at  Cambridge.  Coach  Bob  Muir  was  later  appointed  to  the  position  of  coach  of  the 
U.  S.  Olympic  Swimming  team.    Elsewhere  on  the  sports  scene,  Morgan  Coleman  '5(i  won  the  coveted  New  England 
Golf  Tournament . 

Several  outstanding  lectures  during  the  term 
were  presented.  Enthusiastic  audiences  greeted 
Dr.  Marshall  Stearns  and  his  "Prospectus  in 
Jazz",  Thurgood  Marshall,  and  ex-veep  Henry 
Wallace.  The  Record  drama  critic.  Bob  Leinbach 
praised  Giles  Playfair's  production  of  "The  Three 
Sisters"  as  "opening  up  the  AMT  to  a  greater 
range  of  talent." 

Stompers  Play  at  Last  Houseparty 
At  Spring  Houseparty  the  Spring  Street 
Stompers  played  at  their  last  houseparty  jazz 
concert  in  Chapin  after  being  an  integral  part  of 
the  Williams  scene  for  three  years.  The  appear- 
ance of  a  frosh  revue  with  original  music  opened 
a  lead  to  a  similar  all-college  show  at  the  coming 
Winter  Carnival. 

During  the  spring  and  summer,  three  professors 
had  their  books  published.  .Alfred  Slote's  novel 
"Lazarus  in  Vienna",  and  Frederick  Rudolph's  Baxter  vs.  Bums 


"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  ore  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  IVi  this  specio;'  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  their' 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  post  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

ests are  classical  music,  literature, 
and  photography.  He  hopes  to  be 
an  engineer.  Teleki  has  not  been 
to  school  since  1950  because  the 
Communist  regime  denied  him  ac-

investigation.  He  returned  to  the 
council  with  the  administration's 
reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre- 
dit for  the  manager's  efforts.  The 
council  then  decided  to  work 
through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Projects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coun- 
cil will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  in  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of 
the  answers  of  the  recent  ques- 
tionnaire, and  from  this,  the  coun- 
cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro- 
jects for  the  remaining  part  of 
the  year. 

President  Stegall  has  asked  that 
a  committee  be  formed  to  leave 
to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  Th's 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to- 
night. 


"Mark  Hopkins  and  the  Log"  were  reviewed  in 
tiiese  pages  in  April.  In  August  James  M.  Burns' 
political  biography  of  FDK,  "The  Lion  and  the 
Kox"  appeared  and  was  later  selected  as  one  of 
the  best  IxMjks  of  the  year.  Two  long-time  and 
beloved  Williams  professors  retired  at  the  close 
of  the  term.  Professors  Klbert  C.  Cole  and  Richard 
Newhall,  each  after  'A?  years  on  the  faculty,  enter- 
ed retiiement. 

Sophs  Sack  in  Gym 

With  graduation  and  reunion  weekend  just  a 
memory,  September  arrived  and  with  it,  rushing. 
.\n  unseen  snarl  in  mechanics  developed,  and  be- 
cause of  a  limitation  on  time,  the  sub-pref  period 
was  changed  to  a  regular  period.  SoplKjmtjres  re- 
turned to  find  that  construction  on  Kasl  College 
had  been  delayed,  and  thus  forty-eight  of  them 
were  herded  into  temporary  "barracks"  in  the 
gym. Within  a  month,  the  last  of  them  moved  into 

the  transformed  and  newly  renovated  interior  of  Kasl.    The  Stetson  Library  addition  reached  completion,  and  on 
November  10,  the  William  H.  Stocking  '05  Reading  Room  was  dedicated. 

At  the  College  Convocation  marking  the  150th  .Anniversary  of  the  Foreign  Missions  movement  in  America,  Sec- 
retary of  State  John  Foster  Dulles  received  an  honorary  degree  and  in  a  coast-to-coast  radio  address,  urged  the  exer- 
1  ion  of  all  resources  to  win  peace.  During  the  same  week  Ceorge  Kennan,  former  Ambassador  to  the  Soviet  Union,  spoke 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Lecture  Committee. 

In  October  several  dozen  undergraduates  completed  work  in  the  survey  of  Pittsfield's  political  behavior.  Under 
the  direction  of  Professor  Philip  K.  1  fastings  of  the  Psychology  Department,  the  analysis  revealed  that  President  Eisen- 
hower was  the  favorite,  primarily  because  of  his  pers<jnal  characteristics  rather  than  the  party  label.  In  the  Record  poll 
i)f  the  Williams  faculty,  80  percent  favored  the  election  of  Stevenson.  In  a  lively  pre-election  debate  between  Repub- 
licans President  Baxter  and  Dave  Phillips,  and  Democrats  Arne  Carlson  and  Professor  Burns,  President  Baxter's  open- 
ing remark  was  that  Mr.  Burns  had  "roused  him  like  an  Old  War  Horse  at  the  sound  of  a  trumpet."  Dr.  Baxter  was 
also  chosen  chairman  of  the  Committee  of  the  Arts  and  Sciences  for  Eisenhower,  otherwise  known  as  "Eggheads  for  Ike." 

The  Record's  strong  plea  to  students  to  reach  the  WCC  Chest  Fund  goal  of  $(%000  went  unnoticed.  The  Hungarian 
Relief  I-'und,  organized  by  Managing  Editor  Joe  Richardson,  totaled  $891,  after  a  four-day  campaign  of  collecting  a 
iloUar  from  each  student. 

Sports  news  filtered  from  page  three  to  front  page  banner  headlines  as  the  football  team  outscored  Trinity,  Colby, 
Bowdoin,  and  Middlebur\ .  To  climax  the  season,  Len  Walters'  eleven  crushed  Amherst  27-12  to  win  the  Little  Three 
Championship,  the  first  in  five  years. 

December  and  January  brought  forth  debate  on  the  proposal  to  abolish  traditional  Hell  Week  practices.  The 
1  "acuity-Student  Committee  on  Discipline  urged  that  "pre-iniliation  practices  intended  to  worry,  degrade,  or  tire  pledges 
iir  which  might  result  in  injury  to  person,  lossof  time  and  energy  for  academic  work,  nuisance  to  the  public  or  to  other 

people"  be  eliminated.  The  Social  Council  later 


revised  the  proposal,  recommending  that  the 
.Administration  have  the  power  of  enforcement 
and  punishment  after  the  Faculty-Student  Com- 
mittee judges  any  violation  termed  as  illegal 
hazing.  The  proposal  was  passed  by  two-thirds 
of  the  Houses,  and  was  sent  to  President  Baxter 
and  the  Trustees  for  further  action.  As  the  heat- 
ed debate  raged,  a  crew  of  pledges  washed  Spring 
Street  amid  snow  and  ice,  and  caused  a  minor 
riot  by  snowballing  passing  motorists.  Other 
constructive  projects  were  planned  for  pledges 
with  the  wages  earned  being  given  to  the  Chest 
Fund,  inching  toward  its  quota.

At  Williams  College

cr 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  thi-ee 
different  angles,

CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discus^iio 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

"The  achievement  of  total  opportunity,"  cry  some 
fraternity  men,  "is  not  only  a  step  toward  the  extinction 
of  all  Williams  fraternities,  but  means  their  immediate 
end,  since  total  opportunity  is  diametrically  opposed  to 
the  basic  principle  of  selectivity,  and  in  practice  won  1 
work."  Advocates  of  this  doctrine  are  of  course,  "un- 
realistic". 

What  is  really  at  stake,  in  this  deljate  that  has 
continued  over  the  past  few  years?  Will  the  present 
fraternity  system  be  at  all  changed  or  obliterated  by  the 
achievement  of  total  opportunity? 

Being  a  fraternity  man  today  at  Williams  meansevery 
thing  and  nothing.  Since  practically  all  upperclassmen  are 
fraternity  men,  it  means  everything  to  be  able  to  enjoy 
the  way  of  life  that  has  become  more  and  more  synony- 
mous with  a  Williams  education.  On  the  other  hand,  for 
the  same  reason,  the  only  sure  distinction  of  a  fraternity 
man  is  that  he  is  not  a  freshman. 

The  Constitution,  by-laws,  rituals  of  meetings  and 
initiations,  songs  and  traditions  of  the  Williams  frater- 
nities have  probably  changed  very  little  since  they  were 
founded  a  century  ago.  The  fraternity  today,  however, 
while  observing  the  outward  forms  established  liy  the 
founders,  are  fraternities  in  name  only;  in  practice  they 
fail  to  correspond  to  the  traditional  image  of  the  frater- 
nities set  forth  in  constitutions,  particularly  in  respect 
to  the  concept  of  a  pure  band  of  brothers  bound  together 
by  mystical  bonds.  The  dichotomy  between  the  theore- 
tical fraternity  -the  "myth  of  the  fraternity"  and  the 
actual  1957  version  of  a  Williams  fraternity  in  operation 
has  led  to  considerable  confusion  and  misunderstanding 
in  the  debate  on  total  opportunity.  The  idea  of  the  frater- 
nity embodied  in  the  fraternity  myth,  and  its  tenacious 
hold  on  the  minds  of  some  fraternity  men,  more  alumni, 
and  all  national  chapters,  has  prevented  total  opportun- 
ity at  Williams. 

The  present-day  Williams  fraternity  is  not  the  tightly 
knit,  homogeneous  band  of  thirty  brothers  which  character- 
ized the  fraternity  in  the  nineteenth  century  and  to  a  cer- 
tain extent  up  to  World  War  II.  Today's  stretched  bonds 
of  brotherhood  have  to  include  as  many  as  fifty  to  sixty 
members  in  only  three  classes.  Even  as  recently  as  195;i, 
the  houses  had  rarely  over  forty-five  men  in  four  classes. 

One  effect  of  large  fraternities  has  been  a  natural 
formation  within  the  house  of  smaller  groups  of  members. 
The  varied  social,  academic,  extra-curricular,  or  atliletic 
interests  determine  these  divisions,  yet  the  lines  are  us- 
ually never  rigid  nor  sharply  drawn,  and  the  interest 
groups  overlap  to  such  an  extent  that  each  house  member 
establishes  contact  with  more  than  one  group,  l^ut  usualU- 
not  with  f (ifry  other  brother. 

The  operation  of  the  "freedom  to  choose  one's  friends" 
works  more  voluntarily  and  naturally  within  the  house 
than  through  the  complex  and  impersonal  rushing  mech- 
anics themselves.  During  rushing  the  existence  of  conflict- 
ing interest  groups  is  most  apparent.  Often  disagreement 
occurs  among  groups  in  the  ck)sest  fraternities,  yet  us- 
ually those  not  affected  by  the  fraternity  myth  show  re- 
spect for  the  tastes  of  other  groups,  even  though  they  may 
disagree  with  the  others'  choices.  The  final  bid  list,  there- 
fore, usually  satisfies  no  one  completely,  but  is  accepted 
by  the  great  majority  who  see  it  as  a  true  compromise  of 
interests. 

The  existence  of  the  smaller  groups  within  a  house  of 
fifty  men  fosters  the  true  friendships  that  are  made  within 


the  fraternity,  as  no  one  can  possibly  be  equally  close  lo 
forty  or  fifty  brothers. 

In  a  fraternity  of  heterogeneous  composition  and  mi- 
equal  contact  between  brothers,  the  principal  of  compUte 
selectivity  manifest  in  the  blackball  and  the  chop  system 
is  an  anachronism.  There  can  be  no  valid  reason  for  one 
or  three  individuals  to  prevent  the  admission  of  some- 
one whom  the  majority  of  the  house  may  want. 

Arguments  against  total  opportunity  do  not  defend 
freedom  to  cIkiosc,  but   ratlicr  freedom  to  reject,  ili{-ir 


Donald  Gardner  ','17,  President  of  the  CC 

brothers'  friends  or  potential  friends.  A  single  negative 
vote  or  blackliall  certainly  carries  with  it  more  authoniy 
than  a  single  positive  vote  of  acceptance.  In  this  sense, 
"free(k)m  lo  choose"  is  a  freedom  of  questionable  value' 
If  certain  fraternity  men  still  argue  that  some  indi- 
viduals could  not  "fit  in",  Ihey  are  admitting  either  that 
there  is  inadequate  variety  among  their  brothers,  and  or 
that  they  are  blinded  by  the  fraternity  myth. 

THE  APPEAL  AND  FAULTS  OF  FRATI-:RNITI1:s 
AT  WILLIAMS 

Fraternities  have  undeniable  appeal  at  Williams  and 
make  positive  contributions  to  their  numbers,  to  the  col- 
lege, and  to  Ihe  town. 

Fraternities  offer  their  members  an  area  of  responsi- 
bility for  their  own  conduct  and  for  the  operation  of  ilie 
house.  The  job  of  President  carries  with  it  complete  re- 
sponsibility for  discipline  and  administration  of  the  house, 
observance  of  house  and  college  rules,  and  gives  a  great 
opportunity  for  positive  leadership.  Other  positions  like 
treasurer,  social  chairman,  steward,  rushing  chairman  take 
time  and  energy  and  along  with  the  countless  other  frat- 
ernity posts,  offer  opportunities  for  Williams  men  lo  be 
someone,  to  do  something,  to  assume  responsibility  that 
outside  activities  may  not  have  offered. 

Just  the  feeling  of  acceptance,  of  being  a  pari  of  a 
smaller  group  than  the  class  or  college  itself,  has  great 
appeal  and  gives  rise  to  the  strong  emotional  ties  of  loyalty 
to  the  fraternity.

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
thot  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
it  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  their* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  post. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  loundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry

reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre-

through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Projects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coun- 
cil will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  in  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of

cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro-

to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to-

haps  tlie  most  pleasant  feature  of  Williams'  fraternity 
life. 

In  sum,  the  fraternity  becomes  for  its  members  almost 
a  "home  away  from  liome"  a  pleasimt  place  where  one 
"counts",  where  one  knows  he  has,  rather  than  fifty  "bro- 
thers", close  friends.  The  fraternities  offer  a  way  of  life 
that  is  i)oth  relaxint;  and  enjoyable. 

To  the  college,  fraternities  contribute  much.  They 
are  particularly  invaluable  in  providing  dining  facilities 
for  the  upper  three  classes,  living  quarters  for  all  the  sen- 
iors and  half  the  juniors,  and  social  functions  for  all  Will- 
iams men  excej)!.  the  freshmen.  Fr.ilernities,  therefore, 
are  an  integral  part  of  the  Williams  community  and  can- 
not be  considered  outside  or  independent  of  the  college. 

Fraternities  just  in  the  past  years  have  made  signi- 
ficant efforts  to  aid  town-college  relations  through  charity 
donations  and  Help  Week  projects  such  as  the  pledge 
washing  of  Spring  Street.  Particularly  should  Delta  Up- 
silon  and  Phi  Delta  Theta  be  commended  for  their  in- 
itiative in  fostering  a  Hungarian  family  and  student. 

liven  with  the  advantages  of  fraternities  in  mind,  the 
social  system  at  Williams  deserves  and  needs  objective 
criticism.  The  individual  both  in  and  out  of  the  fraternity 
can  often  be  adversely  affected  by  a  system  that  in  many 
instances  detracts  from  the  college  community. 

The  greatest  defect  in  being  "a  fraternity  man"  is 
the  false  sense  of  power  and  security  inherent  in  the  rights 
and  practices  of  brotherhood  supported  by  the  fraternity 
myth.  The  weak  and  insecure  individuals  are  most  likely 
to  exercise  their  right  to  blackball,  and  are  most  violent 
in  their  protest  when  immature  hazing  is  wisely  limited. 

One  of  the  most  common  criticisms  leveled  at  frat- 
ernities today  is  the  charge  of  anti-intellectualism.  Nation- 
al chapters  apparently  feel  there  is  some  truth  in  this  charge 
since  scholarship  is  one  area  they  strive  to  improve. 

Williams  satirist  I^obert  Adolph's  observation 
that  the  fraternities  consistently  hold  down  the  scholastic 
rankings  from  two  to  sixteen  and  therefore  prove  them- 
selves not  to  be  anti-intellectual,  is  less  an  indication  that 
fraternities  discourage  intellectual  achievement,  than  an 
indication  that  intelligence  and  previous  academic  per- 
formance are  not  the  most  important  standards  of  ac- 
ceptance. 

While  after-dinner  talks  by  faculty  guests,  prizes 
awarded  for  scholastic  improvement  and  esKiy  contests, 
and  literary  house  meetings  may  well  provide  real  intel- 
lectual stimulation,  these  s;ime  houses' activities  tend  to 
interfere  with  curricular  pursuits  and  college-spKmsored 
lectures,  debates,  and  concerts. 

Minimum  gi'ade  requirements  for  initiation,  and  in 
most  houses  a  concerted  effort  toencourage  and  help  mem- 
liers  of  low  academic  standing,  are  sorely  lacking.  Over- 
burdened house  officers  and  those  who  devote  time  to 
rushing  inatters  on  a  house  or  college  level  often  suffer 
academically.  Above  all,  the  fraternity  atmosphere  of 
card  games  and  flick  sc|uacls  is  not  overly  conducive  to 
studying.  W'l  to  escape  fraternity  distractions  is  for  many 
easier  said  than  done;  fraternity  life  is  often  too  comfor- 
tal)le  and  pleasant  to  abandon  for  ihe  library. 

Pressures  to  conform  in  the  Williams  fraternities 
usually  appear  in  the  obvious  and  inocent  forms  of  dress, 
manner,  and  expressions.  IVessures  to  bomb  to  Skidmore, 
flick  out,  or  play  "Monopoly"  are  more  harmful  mani- 
festations of  conformity  since  the  weaker  students  are 
often  more  easy  to  persude  to  join  the  house  group.  In 
general,  though,  resisting  pessures  to  conform  is  not  a 
difficult  problem  for  most  Williams  men. 

Four  Ixul  effects  result  from  Ihe  division  of  the  Will- 
iams campus  into  fifteen  independent  social  units.  First, 
a  sense  of  small  college  community  and  campus  cimimuni- 
cation  are  both  hampered  by  the  separate  fraternities. 
Second,  elTective  student  government  has  frequently  been 


hindered  by  resistance  t(j  change  in  the  houses  following 
their  "slates'  rights"  inclinations.  Third,  since  too  often 
the  making  of  a  fraternity  is  an  end  in  itself,  and  no  longer 
dfK's  a  member  have  to  show  how  outgoing  and  active 
he  can  be,  fraternities  become  seedbeds  of  apathy  towards 
college  affairs.  Fourth,  one  of  the  most  regretful  aspects 
of  ftarernity  membership  is  the  gradual  loss  of  friendships 
made  during  freshman  year.  Although  deferred  rushing 
has  helloed  alleviate  "house  hiljernation",  and  led  to  great- 
er interchange  between  the  fraternities,  more  effort  should 
be  made  to  encourage  outside  contacts  and  friendships. 

Fraternity  standards  of  accept ibility  in  general  re- 
flect the  values  of  the  Williams  man,  yet  the  decided  em- 
phasis on  athletic,  social,  and  personality  factors  in  the 
choice  of  new  members  is  made  stronger  by  the  effect  of 
the  fraternity  myth  which  often  governs  the  motions  of 
selection.  Although  the  virtue  of  "fitting  in"  seems  of 
prime  importance  for  a  candidate,  in  practice  it  is  the 
lack  of  "fitting  in"  or  a  variety  of  interests  and  types  of 
people  that  make  a  stimulating  house.  The  success  of  a 
real  asset  to  the  house  depends  little  on  how  he  brushes 
his  teeth. 

Each  member  of  a  fraternity  must  be  held  responsible 
for  the  policies  his  house  follows.  If  a  fraternity  discrim- 
inates against  individuals  on  the  basis  of  race,  creed,  or 
color,  each  member  must  share  the  responsibility  for  this 
practice.  In  a  few  Williams  fraternities  there  still  exist 
discriminatory  clauses.  In  others  there  are  unwritten  laws 
or  "gentlemen's  agreements"  that  insure  the  admission 
of  only  "acceptable"  men.  And  in  most  houses  through 
the  use  of  the  exalted  blackball,  the  prejudices  of  three 
or  even  one  member  can  determine  the  policy  the  house 
will  follow. 

When  the  issue  of  race  arises  in  rushing,  fraternity 
men  will  rationalize  a  negative  vote  as  one  in  "deference 
to  our  Southern  chapters",  the  alumni,  and  nationals.  But 
any  vote  in  deference  to  discrimination  elsewhere  means 
that  discrimination  must  be  practiced  at  Wilhams,  and 
is  in  effect  a  definite  approval  and  adoption  of  that  policy. 

A  final  unpleasant  aspect  of  the  Williams  social  sys- 
tem is  the  obvious  existence  on  campus  of  very  strong 
houses  and  fairly  weak  houses  in  a  stratified  context  of 
lower,  middle,  and  top  fraternities.  This  perhaps  unavoid- 
able condition  might  be  relieved  by  enforcing  a  com- 
pletely rigid  quota  during  rushing  so  rushees  would  be 
discouraged  from  "waiting  for  a  better  house"  as  occured 
to  an  alarming  degree  this  last  Fall.  A  greater  unbalance 
of  the  fraternity  system,  in  any  case,  would  further  invite

Weekend  'A  New 


cr 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Fiiday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  In  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
Interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Prof.   William   A.   Spurrier   '39, 


CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discussio 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  Integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westlnghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

ergraduates  to  judge  the  individual  in  terms  of  his 
house.  All  members  of  a  top  house,  therefore,  would  be 
by  definition,  top  men,  and  vice  versa. 

Kach  fraternity,  as  the  whole  fraternity  system,  is  a 
mixture  of  good  and  bad.  Any  judgement  of  tiie  frater- 
nities should  take  into  consideration  both  their  positive 
and  negative  aspects.  The  choice  of  joining  a  fraternity 
or  choosing  an  independent  life,  which  some  prefer,  and 
the  choice  to  stay  in  a  fiaternity  or  leave  it  (as  several 
have  done),  should  be  personal  decisions  determined  by 
the  individual's  scale  of  values.  Kveryone  should  have  the 
opportunity  to  ch(X)se  for  himself,  and  not  have  the  choice 
made  for  him. 

TOTAL  OPPORTUNITY:  A  moral  and  practical  neces- 
sity. 

The  achievement  of  total  opportunity  whereby  every- 
one who  desires  can  join  a  fraternity,  is  not  only  necessary 
from  a  moral  standpoint,  but  must  be  achieved  if  the  fra- 
ternities intend  to  survive. 

The  trend  toward  larger  fraternities  was  well  under 
way  in  1934  when  President  Tyler  Dennett,  who  perhaps 
looked  ahead  twenty  years,  warned  that  the  continuation 
of  the  increasing  ratio  of  men  in  fraternities  would  also 
increase  the  harmful  stigma  of  non-affiliation.  That  his 
warnings  were  not  heeded  the  situation  today  demon- 
strates clearly.  When  over  95';,'.  of  a  class  is  "accepted", 
and  less  than  5';,  "rejected",  the  injustice  that  President 
Dennett  feared  has  been  fulfilled  in  the  extreme. 

Some  people  insist  there  is  no  total  opportunity  in 
"real  life".  For  instance,  not  everyone  can  join  the  best 
country  clubs,  nor  can  every  aspiring  young  athlete  make 
a  professional  team,  while  at  Williams  some  are  disappoint- 
ed not  to  be  selected  as  Junior  Advisors.  The  difference 
between  these  examples  and  opportunity  in  the  Williams 
fraternities  should  be  obvious.  In  each  of  these  cases  from 
"real  life",  the  number  given  the  opportunity  is  extremely 
small  compared  to  the  great  majority  that  are  denied 
these  specific  opportunities.  Many  other  alternative  op- 
portunities remain  open  for  participation  and  enjoyment. 

In  addition  to  the  complete  social  life  and  facilities, 
the  fraternities  at  Williams  provide  housing  and  meals 
to  their  members.  Since  there  exists  no  comparative  alter- 
native to  fraternity  life,  a  denial  of  fraternity  membership 
is  denial  of  an  important  part  of  the  whole  Williams 
experience. 

The  exclusion  from  the  fraternities  of  a  very  few  indi- 
viduals makes  the  achievement  of  total  opportunity  mor- 
ally imperative:  its  failure  constitutes  the  blackest  mark 
on  the  Williams  P'raternity  system's  record. 

Although  the  recognition  of  the  intolerable  slalus  quo 
is  nearly  unanimous,  sharp  disagreement  occurs  over  which 
direction  should  be  taken  to  alleviate  the  present  situation. 

Those  most  blinded  by  the  fraternity  myth  wish  to 
return  to  the  good  old  days  of  true  brotherhcxKl  based  on 
real  selectivity.  They  advocate  lower  quotas  to  reduce 
the  size  of  the  houses  and  to  increase  the  numbt'r  left  out 
of  the  system,  thus  diminishing  the  stigma  of  rejection. 

This  backward  course  runs  counter  to  the  economic 
pressures  and  the  more-the-merrier  attitude  which  fav,)r 
large  houses.  Most  fraternity  men  earnestly  hate  to  see 
people  left  out.  Finally,  a  return  to  more  selective  frater- 
nities fails  to  consider  the  present  more  mature  and  dem- 
ocratic conception  of  what  a  fraternity  should  he.  Much 
truth  is  there,  then,  that  fraternities  at  Williams  have  be- 
come almost  eating  clubs.  All  but  a  few  favor  the  logical 
conclusion  of  this  trend  and,  therefore,  favor  total  oppor- 
tunity. Yet,  ironically,  it  is  the  few  who  disagree,  who 
cling  to  the  myth,  who  prevent  the  last  small  step  in  reali- 
zing total  opportunity.

MHOLAII^iHIRS 

There  is  a  common  misconception  among  alumni 
and  students  that  Williams  is  one  of  the  most  generously 
endowed  of  the  handful  of  Ivy  and  Potted  Ivy  Leanue 
College™  with  which  it  competes.  Hut  a  scarcity  of  endow- 
ment funds  affects  many  phases  of  the  College;  and  one 
of  the  most  unfortunate  result'-:  is  that  Williams  must  cur- 
tail scholarship  grants.  Contrary  to  popular  belief,  Williams 
stands  at  the  bottom  of  the  list  of  its  competitors  not  only 
in  total  grants  but  in  ix-rcentage  of  students  on  scholar- 
ship.  The  following  statistics,  released  by  Director  of  Siu. 
dent  Aid  Henry  N.  Flynt,  tells  the  scholarship  story  all 
too  clearly.

Most  people  concerned  feel  that  Williams  should  nive 
more  scholarships,  but  it  is  not  a  simple  problem.  As  there 


Henry  N.  Flynt,  Director  of  Student  Aitl 

is  only  a  certain  amount  of  endowment,  it  would  be  "nib- 
bing Peter  to  pay  Paul"  to  hike  scholarships  directly. 
Kndowment  consists  of  a  "general  funds"  category  aiida 
number  of  grants  designated  for  specific  purix)ses,  one  of 
which  is  scholarships.  My  1955  it  becaine  clear  to  the  Irus- 
tees  that  there  was  not  enough  money  left  for  the  purpose 
of  scholarships.  For  the  first  time  they  began  dipping  into 
their  general  funds,  and  now  have  authorized  granting 
20',;  of  all  students  scholarships.  .Another  bright  spot  in 
the  scholarship  picture  is  that  Williams  has  recently  re- 
ceived grants  from  (leneral  Motors,  Inland  Steef  and 
several  other  big  corporations. 

Supplementing  the  straight  scholarship  plan  is  a  lo:in 
program,  designed  to  tide  over  students  whose  grades  do 
not  meet  the  scholarship  average.  There  are  aliout  three 
percent  of  Williams  students  on  loans,  Flynt  revealed.  The 
repayment  terms  are  ciuite  liberal  straight  four  percent

after  graduate  school.  Including  all  men  on  loan,  scholar-

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . ." 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Loundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  ore  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
it  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii< 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  post. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

FACULTY  SAI.AUIE$>> 

The  Record  commends  highly  the  ejforls  of  President 
liaxler,  who  anuoumed  an  increase  in  faculty  salaries  after 
this  article  was  written.  Hut  the  prnblem  is  one  that  will  crop 
up  repeatedly. 

In  this  special  issue  devoted  to  examining  certain  as- 
pects of  Williams  I  he  Record  felt  it  highly  appropriate 
to  give  special  attention  to  the  old,  but  yet  unsolved 
problem  of  faculty  salaries.  This  problem  i-  most  likely 
the  most  pressing  one  facing  American  education  today. 
The  problem  has  two  aspects;  1  the  present  faculty  is 
underpaid,  '2  it  is  increasingly  difficult  to  attract  new 
men  with  more  than  the  usual  competence  to  enter  the 
field.  The  story  of  the  Williams  graduate  who  almost  at 
the  start  obtains  a  better  sala.y  than  many  o'  his  teachers 
has  become  altoge  her  too  common.  While  the  Williams 
faculty  is  considerably  better  off  than  the  ;;veage  faculty 
throughout  the  nation,  pay  checks  here  in  light  of  the 
exlremely  high  level  of  natural  capacities  and  education 
are  rather  skimpy. 

For  example,  an  instructor  at  Williams,  after  four 
lo  eight  >ears  of  higher  education,  receives  a  starting  sal- 
ary of  $4,2(X)  $5,(X)0.  After  a  few  years  of  experience, 
he  mav  be  promoted  to  assistant  professor  at  $5,200 
,St),2(X)"and  then  on  to  associate  professor  at  $7,(XX) 
$7,500.  Aftir  a  considerable  amount  of  experience  and 
time  a  professorship  appointment  ma\'  be  received  worth 
in  monetary  value  between  $8,(X/()  $12,(XX).  One  should 
note  that  in  most  cases  the  maximum  salaries  at  the  full 
professor  level  are  hardly  double  the  starting  salary.  This 
IS  seldom  the  case  in  business  and  industry.  The  uncer- 
tainties and  unreliability  of  promotion  add  to  the  teacher's 
difficulties. 

What  has  been  done  about  the  problem  of  faculty 
salaries  so  far?  Traditionally  the  sjiving  grace  has  been 
alumni  support.  Frequently,  however,  large  private  for- 
tunes have  be,en  heavily  relied  upon.  The  outstanding 
example  of  this  toda>'  is  the  Ford  Foundation.  Today, 
though,  large  private  fortunes  are  rapidly  diminishing; 
colleges  must  look  elsewhere  to  obtain  the  funds  once  furn- 
ished by  private  fortunes.  Faced  with  the  demands  of 
meeting  an  increasingly  complex  and  challenging  society, 
industry  is  taking  an  active  interest  in  education.  However, 
in  comparison  to  the  proportion  of  total  funds,  corporate 
gifts  at  present  remain  significantly  small. 

Still  another  source  of  income  for  the  college  is  the 
smaller  contributions  of  the  alumni.  In  1955  one  of  the 
most  vigorous  campaigns  in  Williams'  history  was  launch- 
ed by  President  Baxter  and  David  A.  Mathias  '2(),  general 
chairman  of  the  Faculty  Salary  Endowment  Campaigri. 
Williams  has  long  relied  on  this  source  and,  therefore,  it 
can  hardly  be  consideretl  a  permanent  solution. 

What  else  could  be  done?  Many  stopgap  measures 
have  been  suggested  such  as  raising  the  retirement  age 
and  using  part-time  and  partially  trained  personnel.  Such 
measures,  however,  would  be  acceptable  for  a  limited 
period  of  time  and  then  only  in  an  emergency. 

Ciovernment  support  has  recently  loomed  as  a  pos- 
sible solution.  This  has  been  called  and  we  think  rightly  so 
repulsive.  There  has  also  been  recent  talk  over  a  proposal 
providing  for  a  flexible  scale  of  tuitions  liased  on  the  a- 
bilit\-  to  pay.  If  enough  New  luigland  colleges  are  willing 
to  adopt  this  plan,  then  Williams  would  have  to  give  it 
serious  consideration.  .At  the  present  time,  this  solution 
appears  rather  radical  but  it  is  better  than  submitting  to 
an  inferior  faculty  or  government  interventiim.  I'ntil  the 
time  becomes  ripe  for  such  a  solution  we  must  search  for 
others. 


ADMISSIOIVS  PO 


"To  makfe  the  statement  that  Williams  is  only  out 
for  potential  Phi  Bsites  is  clearly  absurd,"  exploded  Direc- 
tor of  Admissions  Fred  Copeland  when  confronted  re- 
cently with  the  assertion  that  Williams  men  are  degen- 
erating into  an  "all  work  and  no  play  type." 

There  can  be  little  doubt  that  admissions  require- 
ments and  even  course  standards  are  more  difficult  today 


Dean  Copeland 

than  they  were  five,  ten,  or  fifty  years  ago.  Copeland  re- 
calls that  the  main  entrance  requirement  when  he  came  to 
Williams  as  a  freshman  in  1931  was  four  years  of  Latin. 
Only  a  few  members  of  the  class  of  19tiO  have  four  years 
of  Latin  under  their  belts,  but  all  have  had  to  survive  in- 
finitely sliffer  competition  pressure  for  entrance  than  did 
the  class  of  1935. 

The  College  Board  Scholastic  Aptitude  Tests,  initiat- 
ed ten  years  ago,  are  the  best  proof  that  it  is  getting  tougher 
and  tougher  to  get  in  Williams.  The  median  aptitude  score 
is  going  up  steadily  at  the  rate  of  .about  10  points  a  year 
for  each  new  freshman  class,  Copeland  revealed.  In  the 
class  of  19()0  the  average  aptitude  score  stands  between 
CM  and  610,  a  figure  that  most  other  American  colleges 
find  unbelievable.  This  puts  the  average  1960er  in  the 
84th  percentile  among  the  hundreds  of  thousands  who 
take  the  College  Board  Aptitude  tests. 

Next  question :  does  not  this  upward  trend  in  the  "aps" 
scores  lead  inevitably  away  from  the  well-rounded  student 
and  toward  the  oft-charicatured  "brain"? 

According  to  the  y\dmissions  Office,  the  answer  is  a 
resounding  "no".  The  increasing  pressure  to  get  into  col- 
leges naturally  puts  Williams  in  a  better  position  to 
pick  the  men  it  wants.  Wit  h  pro.-ipective  students  pounding 
on  the  d(X)is,  it  is  possible  for  the  College  to  improve  the 
caliber  of  its  students  in  all  respects,  not  just  to  hike  the 
median  aptitude  score.  Copeland  indicated  that  this  me- 
dian is  just  as  liable  to  level  off  as  keep  rising  for  future 
freshman  classes. 

"I  don't  think  you  need  to  raise  the  aptitude  standard 
any  higher  than  it  already  is'  our  goal  is  not  to  leach  700, 
as  (>00  is  a  perfectly  respectable  position,"  he  said.  Har- 
vard, Yale,  Piinceton,  .'\mherst.  Wesleyan,  and  Williams 
have  approximately  equal  aptitude  medians,  he  indicated. 

Copeland's  admissions  policy  differs  violently  with 
the  "calculated  flunkout"  theory,  typified  by  the  remark

Weekend  'A  New 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
ol  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
Interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Frof.   William   A.    Spurrier    '39, 


CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discussio 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  In 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  i-eally 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

The  Williams  Record  has  decided  to  offer  its  ideas 
on  the  Williams  curriculum  only  after  a  careful  consider- 
ation of  the  difficulties  involved.  We  realize  that  our  cur- 
riculum problems  are  not  simple  and  that  many  of  the 
asf)ects  that  we  are  criticising  were  adopted  only  after  a 
great  deal  of  thought  and  experience.  The  Record  feels, 
however,  that  since  only  the  students  see  the  curriculum 
first  hand,  their  viewpoint  is  of  essential  importance.  It 
could  possibly  be  argued  that  we  should  not  criticise  the 
curriculum  and  especially  the  new  Honors  piogram  until 
the  new  Honors  program  has  been  in  operation  for  a 
few  years.  The  slate  of  flux  of  the  new  Honors  program  it- 
self, however,  demands  new  decisions,  and  consequently 
new  thought. 

Even  those  only  slightly  acquainted  with  Williams 
are  aware  of  how  very  fine  its  curriculum  is.  We  are  very 
fortunate  in  having  such  a  curriculum  but  we  should  n()l 
be  so  impressed  that  we  are  blinded  to  its  defects.  In  this 
article  we  are  to  undertake  some  of  these  defects.  We  will 
not  take  up  the  positive  aspects  of  the  curriculum  here  as 
we  feel  that  they  speak  for  themselves. 

Much  of  the  discussion  of  the  curriculum  centers 
around  the  two  closely  related  problems  of  the  1-2  cours- 
es and  the  division  requirements.  A  1-2  course  is  altogether 
too  often  intended  only  to  instruct  and  not  at  all  to  inspire. 
One  must  get  the  tools,  the  dry  fundamentals  first  and 
then  get  to  the  more  interesting  work,  it  is  argued.  The 
result  of  this  is  that  many  students  get  discouraged  before 
they  ever  reach  the  interesting  part  and  fail  to  see  the 
importance  of  learning  the  dry  fundamentals.  The  Record 
feels  that  an  effort  should  be  made  to  give  the  student 
a  little  honey  with  the  wormwood  in  these  1-2  courses. 
Then  more  students  would  have  the  inspiration  and  sense 
of  direction  necessary  for  tackling  the  dry  fundamentals. 

Division  Requirements 

Closely  connected  with  the  problem  of  the  1-2  ccnirse 
is  the  problem  of  the  division  requirement.  The  division 
1  major  who  consistently  flunks  the  courses  he  is  taking 
in  a  futile  attempt  to  satisfy  the  division  3  requirement 
has  long  been  a  standard  joke.  Here  the  problem  of  the 
dull  1-2  course  is  reenforced  with  the  difficulty  of  being 
out  of  one's  own  fields.  Not  only  is  the  student  learning 
dry  fundamentals,  these  dry  fundamentals  are  in  a  field 
remote  from  his  own.  It  is  quite  often  difficult  to  see  the 
importance  of  such  a  course,  much  less  to  be  inspired  by 

it- 
Last  spring  the  Record  recommended  a  two  year  His- 
tory and  Method  of  Science  course  which  would  be  taken 
in  lieu  of  two  of  the  present  science  courses  to  satisf>'  the 
third  division  requirement.  Such  a  course  should  deal  not 
only  with  the  scientific  method  and  its  development  but 
also  with  the  impact  of  science  on  history  and  phil()soph\'. 
It  would  be  much  easier  for  the  non-scientist  to  see  the 
importance  of  such  a  course  than  a  course  in  the  funda- 
mentals of  one  particular  field  within  science.  Moreover, 
such  a  course  would  lend  itself  to  a  more  imaginative  treat- 
ment than  a  course  in  a  narrower  field. 
The  Honors  Program 
The  Record  thinks  that  the  chief  change  that  should 
be  made  with  the  present  honors  program  is  revision  of 
the  absolute  prohibition  against  non-honors  people  taking 
seminars.  Honors  people  should  have  first  choice  in  get- 
ting into  a  seminar.  However,  we  see  no  justification  what- 
soever for  barring  non-honors  people  from  an  honors;  sem- 
inar which  has  not  been  filled  to  the  capacity  level  set  b\- 
the  department  if  they  receive  the  permission  of  the  in- 
structor. In  some  cases  this  revision  of  the  rule  might  make 
it  possible  to  offer  seminars  that  might  otherwise  have  to 
be  dropped  because  of  lack  of  sufficient  enrollment . 


It  might  be  argued  that  this  revision  would  diminish 
the  incentive  value  of  the  honors  program.  Here  it  should 
be  pointed  out  that  since  there  would  be  no  assurance 
that  a  seminar  would  not  be  filled  to  capacity  with  honors 
|x.'()ple,  there  woukl  be  no  assurance  that  a  non-honors 
person  could  get  into  the  seminal  he  wanted  to  lake.  Con- 
sequently at  least  some  of  the  incentive  woukl  remain 
Moreover,  this  revision  would  help  alleviate  the  unfair- 
ness of  barring  from  seminars  those  whose  course  of  s.iidv 
prevents  them  from  taking  honors.  ' 

The  Cut  System 

The  tedious,  confused  cut  controversy  of  the  past 
few  years  so  fresh  in  all  out  minds  reminds  us  of  a  problem 
closely  connected  with  the  cuiriculum.  It  seems  tlia'  it 
haslongbeeniealized  that  about  the  only  good  thing  Hmt 
can  be  said  of  the  present  cut  system  is  that  it  doesn't 
work  very  well.  When  it  is  suggested  that  we  discardihe 
system  and  institute  free  cuts  for  the  upper  three  cla.ses 
however,  the  proponents  of  the  cut  system  in  the  hl^;her 
echelons  s;iy  something  like:  "Ha!  Everyone  knows  ihat 
these  students  would  do  anything  to  get  out  of  goin^  to 
ou.  classes.  Why,  one  of  the  oldest  eternal  verities  in  our 
book  says  that  no  student  can  ever  be  objective  when  it 
comes  to  our  cut  system."  The  Record  feels  that  it  is  not 
only  futile  but  also  a  waste  of  time  for  large  student  and 
faculty  committees  to  spend  hours  and  hours  searelnng 
for  a  perfect  cut  system  or  trying  to  adminster  the  pre  tnt 
one.  In  an  intellectual  community  there  should  be  more 
important  things  to  do. 

Those  who  are  held  in  class  by  force  learn  veiy  little  tin  in- 
selves  and  are  a  burden  on  the  rest  of  the  class  and  ihe 
instructor.  We  come  to  Williams  with  the  belief  thai  it 
is  a  privilege  to  attend  classes;  the  cut  system  attempts 
to  convince  us  that  it  is  a  privilege  to  cut  them.  If  Williams 
is  half  of  what  it  claiins  to  be  there  are  very  few  Williams 
students  who  can  not  assume  the  responsibility  of  mam- 
taining  standards  without  the  help  of  a  cut  system  We 
feel  that  the  grim  warnings  of  whole  classes  flunking  out 
or  an  empty  Goodrich  Hall  seven  days  a  week  are  absurdly 
false  fears.  If  no  one  really  wanted  to  go  to  classes  then 
there  would  be  very  little  point  of  trying  to  run  a  college 
here  anyway. 


Fralernitics  .  .  . 

Because  fraternities  naturally  recoil  from  any  impli- 
cation of  force  in  any  plan  to  guarantee  total  opportunity, 
the  best  way  to  achieve  this  needed  end  is  to  arouse  ;i  new 
and  nearly  unanimous  altitude  on  the  part  of  the  under- 
graduates in  favor  of  it .  The  leaders  of  the  movement  must 
be  strong  enough  to  convince  the  rest  of  the  student  body 
especially  those  still  held  by  the  fraternity  myth,  thai 
total  opportunity  is  both  morally  imp;:ralive  and  in  the 
practical  sense  necesary  to  insure  the  survival  of  the 
present  Williams  social  system. 

If  it  is  decided  that  fraternities  at  Williams  are  worth 
preserving,  the  best  way  to  stive  them  is  to  remove  the 
negative  aspects  which  draw  criticism  and  attack.  Nor 
will  it  help  the  fraternities  in  the  long  run,  to  run  against 
the  currents  of  the  lime  and  return  to  greater  selectivity, 
since  one  problem  is  simply  being  exchanged  for  another. 
Finally,  the  acceptance  of  a  few  more  individuals  would 
make  little  or  no  difference  to  the  fraternities  in  practice. 

Far  from  destroying  the  fraternity  as  it  exists  t(Klay, 
the  achievement  of  total  oppcjrtunity  might  well  remove 
the  most  vulnerable  target  of  ami  fraternity  criticism, 
and  hence  insure  the  survival  of  a  more  healthy,  a  more 
modern,  and  a  more  realistic  fraternity  system  at  Williams.

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . ." 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  yeor  the  Student  Laundry  Is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bod  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Vomum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

(New  Placement  Director)  and  Student  Chairman  Sandy  MacOmber  '57 
Make  Career  Weekend  Plans. 


PLACEMKiXT  BlllEAr 


February  the  season  of  the  job  interview  has  ar- 
rived and  for  the  next  few  weeks  a  dapper  senior  class  will 
file  into  the  Placement  Bureau  to  meet  with  the  Personnel 
Managers  of  America.  Much  emphasis  in  these  interviews 
will  be  placed  on  appearances  .  .  .  well  groomed  hair, 
clean  fingernails,  and  flawless  four-in-hands.  The  college 
has  gone  all  out  for  this  annual  occasion.  Several  rooms 
have  been  renovated  and  fitted  out  with  desks,  chairs, 
and  ashtrays  in  order  to  give  the  interviews  a  nice  business- 
like tone.  If  all  g(x.'s  well,  an  average,  well-mannered  stu- 
dent ma\-  walk  out  with  a  sleek  $l,.oOO  per  annum  offer 
in  his  hand.  The  personnel  man  will  smile  and  chalk  up 
another  liberal  arts  graduate  to  his  corporation's  credit. 
What  dois  this  February  free-for-all  mean?  It  means  that 
the  college  and  the  corporations  have  co-operated  in  creat- 
ing a  most  tempting  atmosphere  for  the  Williams  senior. 
F'ersonnel  men  are  good  sellers  and  many  students  bite 
easily  into  the  bait 

This  is  not  a  condemnation  of  big  business  employ- 
ment tactics,  nor  of  the  Placement  Bureau.  We  only  la- 
ment the  fact  that  inan>'  seniors  let  February  roll  around 
without  i)aying  the  least  attention  to  what  they  want 
lo  do  upon  graduation.  The  Career  Weekend  thanks  to 
Mr.  Manlon  Copeland  and  his  Committee  did  an  ex- 
cellent job  of  outlining  various  t\pes  of  work.  Messrs. 
Copeland  and  ();■,  Wyckoff  of  the  Placement  Bureau  have 
offered  personal  counsel  to  interested  students  all  fall. 
But  these  things  are  not  enough.  The  final  vocational 
decision  must  come  from  the  student  himself.  To  make 
such  a  decision  in  this  world  of  complexity   requires  the 


kind  of  serious  soul  searching  which  is  all  too  uncommon 
in  the  outer-directed  atmosphere  of  Williams.  Mr.  Cope- 
land recognizes  this  problem.  "Some  seniors,"  he  says, 
"are  completely  apathetic  about  their  careers.  It  would 
do  them  good  to  look  into  a  great  big  mirror  before  it's 
too  late." 

Mr.  Copeland  stresses  that  the  Placement  Bureau 
does  not  exist  to  "get  a  boy  a  job,  but  to  get  him  the  right 
job."  Williams  students  cannot  get  the  "right  job"  with- 
out knowing  what  is  right  for  themselves.  They  must 
understand  their  own  aims  and  objectives  in  life.  They 
must  use  the  Williams  education  not  as  a  means  to  some 
materialistic  end,  but  as  an  experience  through  which 
they  can  know  themselves. 

In  his  career  Weekend  talk,  "The  Road  to  Success," 
Wesleyan's  Chaplain,  William  Spurrier  '39,  offered  some 
good  advice.  "If  we  are  to  succeed  without  destroying 
our  spirits,  if  we  are  to  achieve  a  full  and  abundant  life, 
it  is  essential  not  t(j  regard  our  job  or  vocation  as  only  a 
means.  We  must  find  meaning  in  the  work  itself,  in  the 
very  nature  of  the  job.  This  involves  finding  jobs  com- 
mensurate with  our  abilities  and  interests.  But  unless  there 
is  something  of  integrity  and  dignity  in  the  work  itself,  it 
is  not  worth  doing.  This  may  involve  a  change  of  jobs  or 
it  may  involve  a  change  in  our  ideas  of  work.  And,  more 
often  than  not,  I  suspect  it  is  a  change  in  the  latter." 

The  Placement  Bureau  is  doing  its  job.  The  modern 
world  is  co-operating  by  offering  interesting  work  in  in- 
numerable fields.  But  in  the  last  analysis  the  student 
must  know  his  own  needs  and  goals.  If  not,  apathy  is 
liable  to  carrv  him  to  frustration  and  lack  of  success.

THE  ATHLETM:  PlCTUItE 


THE 


Copeland  Terms  C 
Weekend  'A  New 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Fiiday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  Incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday    Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Prof.   William  A.    Spurrier   '39, 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

Aihlftics  here  holds  an  ambivalent  position  in  the 
philosophy  of  a  Williams  education.  The  idea  of  all  com- 
petitive athielics  is  to  win  as  many  games  as  possible. 
But  in  order  to  do  that  some  parts  of  the  Williams  edu- 
cational plan  would  have  to  be  sacrificed.  Time  would  have 
to  be  laken  from  academic  work  and  given  to  teams;  the 
admissions  standards  would  have  to  be  lowered  to  allow 
more  athletes  to  enter  Williams;  and  the  academic  stand- 
ards would  have  to  be  loweied  to  allow  the  athletes  to  stay 
in  Williams.  All  this  could  be  done,  and  if  it  were  done  the 
Williams  athletic  picture  would  be  quite  different  from 
what  it  now  is. 

Instead  the  philosophy  of  athletics  at  Williams  fits 
compMititive  sports  into  the  whole  educational  picture. 
Athletics  at  Williams  are  another  form  of  extra-curricular 
activity,  Hke  the  Williams  RECOHD  or  WMS.  A  stu- 
dent is  at  Williams  not  for  athletics,  but  for  scholastics. 
The  Williams  athletic  setup  is  based  on  the  assumption 
that  participating  in  intercollegiate  athletics  lends  to  the 
production  of  the  well-rounded  Williams  man  at  gradu- 
ation. 

The  admissions  policy  at  Williams  is  indicative  of  this 
philosophy.  Instead  of  offering  all  sorts  of  inducements 
to  get  high  school  athletes  to  enroll  at  Williams,  no  extra 
aid  is  given  to  a  promising  football  star.  Alumni,  though, 
do  play  a  part  in  getting  athletes  to  come  to  Williams. 
They  try  and  persuade  a  good  high  school  athlete  to  come 
to  Williams  for  an  education.  But  the  final  say  on  who 
comes  to  Williams  belongs  to  the  admissions  office,  not  to 
the  athletic  department.  Athletic  ability  can  do  no  more 
than  help  in  borderline  cases. 

Once  in  Williams  College  an  athlete  will  have  a  hard 
row  to  hoe.  He  will  be  expected  to  keep  up  with  his  studies 
even  though  he  has  the  added  time-consuming  job  of  play- 
ing an  intercollegiate  sport.  Professors  at  Williams  do  not 
take  athletic  participation  as  an  excuse  for  poor  work.  It 
is  hard  enough  to  just  get  along  while  playing  in  some 
sport  but  some  students,  who  play  two  or  three  sports  in 
the  year,  are  able  to  gain  scholastic  honors.  This  is  the 
type  of  student-athlete  that  Williams  wants  to  develop. 

Certainly  a  number  of  athletes  are  on  scholarships. 
But  these  are  strictly  scholastic  scholarships  and  are  not 
awarded  for  athletics.  If  a  student  quits  a  team  because 
he  wants  extra  time  to  study  he  will  not  lose  his  scholar- 
ship. For  a  student  is  not  at  Williams  to  play  ball,  he  is 


here  to  learn.  And  those  athletes  who  hokl  part-time  jcibs 
really  have  to  work.  There  arr  no  plush  jobs  for  fooibaH 
players  here. 

These  considerations  exert  a  profound  influence  dii 


the  Williams  athletic  picture.  Williams  can  never  h,i,( 
top-flighf  teams,  competing  with  colleges  who  devnn" 
scholarships,  lowered  standards,  and  special  jobs  to  aih- 
letes.  Williams  will  even  have  trouble  competing  with  ;i 
schiMil  that  simply  does  not  have  as  high  academic  slaiid- 
aids. 

This  leads  to  a  big  prolilem:  scheduling.  As  Athletic 
Director  Frank  R.  Thoms  said  last  sear,  "It's  hard  id 
arrive  at  something  good  for  everyone."  In  order  noi  id 
be  badly  whip)5ed  most  of  the  time  Williams  must  schedule 
teams  with  the  same  standards.  This  will  insure  fairly  heal- 
thy rivalries  with  the  won-loss  recoi'd  even  over  the  Idiit; 
run.  Bill  there  are  times  when  students  feel  a  team  should 
play  above  this  league.  Such  a  situation  arose  with  the 
Williams  basketball  team  of  1951-55  which  represented 
New  luigland  in  the  NC.\.\.  The  athletic  department  is 
faced  with  a  problem.  They  cannot  schedule  according 
to  the  ability  of  a  team  in  one  your.  The  schedules  iniisi 
be  made  long  in  advance  and  must  Ix^  set  down  for  the 
average  ability  of  the  team,  no!  for  an  exceptional  year's 
team. 

1  (K)king  at  the  athletic  picture  at  Williams  College 
broadly,  intercollegiate  sports  fills  its  place  in  the  Williams 
educalinn.  However  that  does  not  mean  that  all  is  well 
with  Williams  athletics.  There  are  nian\  iniproveniinls 
that  could  be  made  in  many  departments,  some  dependiun 
on  the  administration  and  some  on  the  student  body. 

(ienerally  speaking  the  coaching  staff  here  is  g(Ki(l. 
Williams  can  boast  the  i95()  I'nited  States  Ohnipic  swjm- 
ining  coach,  a  member  of  the  1918  I'nited  Stales  Ohnipic 
ski  team,  a  fo:mer  major-league  pitcher,  a  former  profes- 
sional football  p!a\er,  and  other  star  performers.  But  llieie 
a'e  weaknesses,  it  is  not  the  puri)o;eof  thisarticle  to  spe:ik 
against  individual  coaches  for  ha\ing  a  i>)or  season.  To  do 
that  would  extend  athletics  be\on(l  its  place  in  the  ed- 
ucational scene.  l"or  at  Williams  a  coach's  success  does 
not  depend  on  his  won  and  lo>s  lecord  but  on  hi^  ability 
to  teach  and  lead.  (But,  it  might  be  ailded,  the  won  and 


"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . . 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  ore  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  hove  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  hove  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past.

investigation.  He  returned  to  the 
council  with  the  administration's 
reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre- 
dit for  the  manager's  efforts.  The 
council  then  decided  to  work 
through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Projects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coun- 
cil will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  In  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of 
the  answers  of  the  recent  ques- 
tionnaire, and  from  this,  the  coun- 
cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro- 
jects for  the  remaining  part  of 
the  year. 

President  Stegall  has  asked  that 
a  committee  be  formed  to  leave 
to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to- 
night. 


loss  record  of  most  Williams  coaches  is  alwve  the  .500 
mark.)  The  criticisms  made  rathei  extend  to  a  part  of 
the  system  of  coaching  at  Williams. 

Ilere  a  great  numl)er  of  minor  and  freshmen  sports 
are  plased.  This  is  good.  Williams  should  be  represented 
in  as  many  spots  as  possible.  Hut  the  coaching  of  these 
minor  sports  is  often  not  good.  A  member  of  the  athletic 
(lepartmenl  miy  Iw  forced  to  coach  a  sport  he  knows  noth- 
ing aljoul  because  there  is  no  one  else  available.  This  is 
especially  true  on  the  freshman  level  of  coaching.  But  if 
it  IS  worth  while  for  Williams  to  play  a  sport,  it  should  be 
worth  while  to  hire  experienced  coaches  for  the  sport. 

The  athletic  department  is  understaffed  in  one  major 
department.  They  very  much  need  an  assistant  trainer 
to  take  some  of  the  load  off  trainer  J(x;  Altott.  One  trainer 
can  not  cover  all  the  sports  played  in  one  season.  An  as- 
sistant trainer  would  be  a  sound  investment  and  an  im- 
portant safely  precaution. 

Another  problem  at  Williams  is  facilities.  For  ex- 
ample, the  Ixiseball  team  starts  every  season  with  a  large 
handicap  because  they  do  not  have  adequate  practice 
grounds  during  the  spring.  The  team  needs  a  decent  cage 
where  batters  can  get  a  chance  to  take  a  full  swing  at  the 
ball  and  fielders  can  practice  catching  flies.  The  Williams 
nine  is  never  able  to  do  this  until  their  first  game.  Again 
it  can  be  sjiid  if  it's  worth  having  a  teamit  should  be  worth 
giving  it  the  facilities  it  needs.  Other  teams  suffer  from  a 
lack  of  proper  facilities.  The  tennis  team  does  not  get  a 
chance  to  practice  on  the  courts  until  just  before  their 
season  starts.  They  too  could  use  an  indoor  practice  area. 
These  are  perhaps  the  biggest  needs  for  new  athletic  fac- 
ilities at  \Villiams. 

There  are,  though,  o'.her  needs.  I'erhaps  the  most 
impoitant  is  the  idea  of  planning  for  the  future,  not  for 
just  the  immediate  moment.  An  example  of  lack  of  fore- 
sight is  the  new  hockey  rink  dedicated  just  four  years  ago 
Certainly  we  at  Williams  can  feel  happ\'  that  we  have  an 
artificial  rink,  ^'et  we  also  can  feel  sad  that  it  is  not  as  good 
as  it  could  be.  The  rink  is  as  short  as  it  possibly  could  be 
made.  y\nd  it  badh'  needs  a  cover  of  some  sort  as  well  as 
scoreboard  facilities.  Not  only  could  planning  have  made 
abetter  rink,  but  the  all-around  athletic  plant  at  Williams 
could  be  lietter.  We  could  have  a  centralized  setup  instead 
on  one  that  stretches  from  Cole  Field  on  one  end  of  town 
to  Weston  Field  on  the  other. 

We  realize  that  thea-  recommendations  all  cost  money 
and  a  good  deal  of  it  to  boot.  We  als(i  realize  that  inter- 
collegiate athletics  at  Williams  does  not  pay  its  own  way. 
According  to  the  195,')  President's  Annual  Heport,  athletic 
receipts  totaled  $27,2()1  in  1953-54  while  expenditures  were 
$128,()0,i.  .Again  though,  we  would  like  to  repeat  the  old 
adage  which  might  be  called  the  theme  of  this  article, 
"If  something  is  worth  doing  it  is  worth  doing  right." 

,\thlelic  publicitx'  is  another  place  for  great  improve- 
ment at  Williams  College.  .Xs  it  stands  now  all  publicity 
is  in  charge  of  Director  of  .\thletics  Frank  R.  Thoms  with 
the  News  Bureau,  a  student  organization,  responsible  for 
doing  the  actual  writing  of  releases.  This  arrangement  has 
not  worked  well  in  the  past.  First  of  all  Mr.  Thoms  is  not 
a  newspape.  man  and  has  not  had  the  experience  of  deal- 
ing with  newspapers.  In  addition  his  job  as  athletic  pub- 
licity director  is  thrown  on  top  of  his  other  duties  and  so 
he  cannot  devote  full  time  to  it .  Secondly  the  News  Bureau, 
as  a  student  organization,  has  no  real  continuity  from  one 
year  to  the  next.  They,  like  all  Williams  activities,  change 
boards  in  l-Vbruary,  right  in  the  middle  of  the  Winter 
si^orts  season.  .Also  there  is  no  guidance  from  an  exix;rienc- 
ed  person  to  ease  the  News  Bureau's  tough  job. 

We  would  like  to  recommend  a  s>steni  used  in  many 
other  schools  with  great  success.  Williams  should  hire  a 
trained  assistant  to  Kalpli  Renzi,  the  college  news  director, 
in  charge  of  athletic  publicity.  The  News  Bureau  would 


work  under  his  supervision. 

There  are  other  kinds  of  improvmenls  that  can  be 
carried  out  by  the  students  themselves.  A  good  many  of 
these  are  under  study  by  the  newly  re-vitalized  Purple 
Key  Society,  which  has  accredited  itself  well  in  its  first 
year  of  operation.  The  Key  has  done  a  fine  job  in  its  two 
main  jobs:  that  of  meeting  visiting  teams  and  acting  to 
improve  school  spirit. 

Improving  sch(K)l  spirit,  though,  is  not  something  that 
can  be  done  in  one  year.  There  is  a  distinct  apathy  among 
the  Williams  student  body  towards  supporting  teams 
generally  that  is  unless  the  team  gets  the  students  ex- 
cited. But  students  can  help  the  teams  by  giving  the  teams 
a  real  will  to  win.  This  type  of  spirit  is  missing. 

The  Key  is  engaged  in  an  investigation  of  the  man- 
agerial system  at  Williams.  A  revision  of  the  job  and  sys- 
tem of  selecting  managers  is  in  order,  especially  when  the 
football  team  finds  itself  without  a  senior  manager  for 
next  year.  There  should  be  a  greater  incentive  for  stu- 
dents to  become  head  managers.  The  prestige  of  the  job 
should  be  increased.  Perhaps  this  can  be  done  by  enlarg- 
ing the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  the  managers. 

The  Intra-mural  program,  another  item  under  study 
by  the  Purple  Key,  needs  revision.  The  prime  fault  now 
seems  to  lie  in  an  apathy  among  the  students  and  a  lack 
of  organization.  Many  teams,  in  football  especially,  do  not 
bother  to  turn  in  the  scores  of  their  games.  Only  the  top 
teams  bother  to  keep  their  record  up  to  date.  The  fresh- 
men are  especially  apathetic  while  some  houses  manage 
to  work  up  interest  for  "house  spirit".  There  is  often  little 
cooperation   between   the   managers  and   Mr.    Bullock. 

Three  revisions  which  might  be  instituted  to  improve 
the  program  would  require  little  effort.  One  would  be  some 
real  honor  for  the  winners  of  the  intra-mural  seasons  and 
for  the  all-around  champions.  Games  could  be  arranged 
between  Williams  intra-mural  champs  and  the  champs 
of  other  schools.  An  all-star  team  could  be  picked  to  play 
against  the  varsity  team,  a  second  varsity  team,  or  the 
freshman  team.  These  are  just  suggestions.  Perhaps  the 
Purple  Key  will  come  up  with  better  ones.  But  something 
should  be  done.  As  it  stands  now  dis-organization  and 
lack  of  interest  makes  intramurals  a  farce. 

The  criticisms,  improvements  and  suggestions  made 
in  this  article  are  not  done  in  the  spirit  of  harm.  Father 
they  are  made  with  the  idea  of  constructive  help.

THE 


Copeland  Terms  C 
Weekend  'A  New 


Wednesday.  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Filday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place 
ment  Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Prof.   William   A.    Spurrier    '39, 


"A  DAY  TO  OO   IJPO^  THK  >iOIIIVTAI^S" 

by  Joe  Ki<'liar(lsoii 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  I'eally 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Pinally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

It  is  now  over  twenty  years  since  Williams  studenls, 
leaning  from  dormitory  windows  in  the  late  golden  sun- 
light of  an  October  afternoon,  craned  their  heads  in  expecta- 
tion to  catch  the  first  notes  from  the  Chapel  tower  that 
announced  the  arrival  of  Mountain  Day.  What  Spring 
in  his  "History  of  Williams  College"  called  "the  only 
existing  college  custom  of  any  antiquity",  has  itself  become 
a  forgotten  relic  of  earlier  years,  remembered  but  vaguely 
even  by  many  of  the  alumni  who  knew  it  in  its  dying  days. 
The  only  Mountain  Day  the  present  generation  of  Williams 
men  knows  is  a  spring  holiday  by  that  name  celebrated 
at  Smith. 

To  find  the  origin  of  Mountain  Day  as  a  college  in- 
stitution, one  must  turn  back  the  pages  of  time  to  Will- 
iams' earliest  da^'s;  and  here  the  ink  has  liecome  so  faded 
that  it  is  a  matter  of  conjecture  exactly  when  the  little 
band  of  West  College  scholars  was  first  lilessed  with  a 
dav's  respite  to  enjoy  the  beauties  of  a  Berkshire  autumn. 
Anearlier  Williams  RECORD  states  that  Mountain  Day 
was  a  tradition  "now  more  than  135  years  old",  a  figure 
which  puts  the  year  of  inception  somewhere  in  the  1790's, 
only  a  few  years  after  the  college  was  founded.  However 
Spring,  in  his  college  history,  seems  to  think  the  h()lida\- 
a  product  of  the  "Nature  Cult  of  the  third  ;idniinistration", 
quoting  from  President  Griffin's  Journal  CoiilaiHlng.  the 
Code  of  Common  Law  (1827)  what  is  apparently  the  first 
recorded  evidence  of  its  existence:  "About  the  twenl\'- 
fourth  of  June,  a  day  to  go  upon  the  mountain." 

Sometime,  probably  fairly  early  in  its  existence.  Moun- 
tain Day  came  to  be  celebrated  in  the  fail  rather  than  in 
the  spring.  It  undoubtedly  soared  to  its  greatest  height^ 
as  a  vigorous,  enthusiastically-supported  tradition  during 
the  long  reign  of  Mark  Hopkins,  whose  own  love  of  nature 
equalled  that  of  his  contemporaries  and  friends  Thoreau, 
Bryant  and  Emerson.  On  one  visit  to  Williamstown  I'^mer- 
son  is  reported  to  have  described  the  "purple  hills"  as 
Williams'  most  precious  possession. 

Like  the  horse  and  buggy  and  the  streetcar,  the  de- 
cline of  Mountain  Day  dates  from  the  invention  of  the 
automobile,  which  not  onlv  made  more  accessiliie  such 


attractive  spas  as  Northampton  and  Saratoga  Spriiig.s, 
but  also  made  it  possible  for  most  of  the  students  to  i;et 
home  for  a  long  weekend.  These  two  factors,  combined 
with  the  Twenties'  deemphasis  on  aitnost  all  forms  of  mil- 
d(K)r  activity,  culminated  in  the  exchange  of  Mouniain 
Dav  for  a  long  Thanksgiving  Weekend  earh-  in  the  19,;i)'s. 
Not  that  Mountain  Day  was  not  enjoyed  in  its  waning 
da\s;  it  was  simply  directed  towards  otiier  forms  of  ^pn't, 
anil  considered  less  valuable  than  t  wo  days  extraat  Thmiks- 
giving.  Typical  of  this  latter-day  approach  was  thi  at- 
titude of  a  present  faculty  membor  who  wryly  recalU  a 
sad  experience  as  a  sopiiomore.  .\t  the  first  peal  of  "The 
Mountains",  announcing  tiiat  the  following  day  would 
be  Mountain  Day,  this  impulsive  youth  charged  from  his 
room  in  Morgan  to  telegraph  the  glad  news  to  a  lovely 
at  Smith;  luil  in  taking  the  Spring  Street  steps  three  ,it  a 
time  he  made  a  slight  miscalculation  and  wound  up  in  a 
heap  at  the  bottom  with  a  broken  bone  in  his  foot. 

Mountain  Day  died  hard  despite  thealniostunaninious 
oppo.-iition  of  the  student  body  in  the  early  19i0's.  The 
facult\,  branded  h\  the  undergraduates  as  liackward- 
looking  and  tradition-bound,  were  loath  to  give  up  the 
time-honored  custom.  Things  came  to  a  head  draniatic;illv 
in  \\)X1.  A  KI'X'OKl)  editorial  of  October  1  emphasized 
the  unsatisfactory  nature  of  a  Thanksgiving  I'ecess  in  which 
students  had  to  return  for  I'ViduN  afternoon  and  Saturday 
morning  classes;  and  ".As  for  Mountain  Day  this  tradi- 
tion retains  no  vestige  of  its  former  self;  and  this  year,  in 
particular,  there  will  be  difficulties  in  finding  a  suitable 
day  for  it  (due  to  conflicts  with  Rushing  Week  and  the 
Columbia  game).  The  RICCOKI )  hopes  that  this  tradition- 
less  tradition  be  scrapped  losatisf\  the  reasonable  demand 
for  a  Thanksgiving  Recess,  worthy  of  the  name." 

The  editori:il,  aimed  at  influencing  votes  at  a  faculty 
meeting  a  couple  of  days  later,  failed  in  its  jnirpose.  The 
facult\  voted  to  retain  Mountain  Day,  keep  ThanksgivinK 
a  one-day  holiday,  and  add  a  da>-  onto  Christmas  vacalum 
as  a  concession.  Reaction  to  this  decision  was  so  strong 
that  on  October  8  iIh^t  was  held  the  "first  College  meet- 
ing in  many  years".  7(X)  untlerg  -aduiiles  gathered  in  .Ic^iip

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . . 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
Thib  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  fjQSt. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry

investigation.  He  returned  to  the 
council  with  the  administration's 
reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre- 
dit for  the  manager's  efforts.  The 
council  then  decided  to  work 
through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Projects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coim- 
cU  will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  In  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of 
the  answers  of  the  recent  ques- 
tionnaire, and  from  this,  the  coun- 
cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro- 
jects tor  the  remaining  part  of 
the  year. 

President  Stegall  has  asked  that 
a  committee  be  formed  to  leave 
to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to- 
night. 


Hall  to  hear  President  Garfield,  Professor  Pratt  and  As- 
sistant Dean  Leonard  (an  inveterate  outdoorsman  who 
the  preceding  summer  had  taken  a  canoe  trip  through 
Canada)  defend  llie  decision.  Pratt,  in  a  memorable  and 
emotional  oration,  pleaded  with  the  students  not  to  sac- 
rifice the  hoary  tradition  to  their  own  selfish  interests: 
"Mountain  Day  for  the  alumni  and  faculty  is  a  cherished 
tradition  ...  it  is  essentially  an  educative  institution 
whose  value  cannot  be  measured  in  dollars  and  cents, 
A's  and  B's.  Should  we  let  it  go,  it  will  be  one  more  step 
toward  factory-made  Americans  and  factory-made  col- 
leges." 

After  sitting  stolidly  and  sullenly  through  the  faculty 
defense,  the  students  cheered  loudly  the  proptjsal  of  C.  S. 
Sargent  '33,  the  Student  Council  representative  and  ed- 
itor of  the  Ul'X'OUl).  Sargent  presented  a  new  student 
plan  whereby  l)oth  Mountain  Day  and  the  Thanksgiving 
weekend  could  be  retained  by  letting  the  latter  fall  on  a 
Sunday,  and  having  the  Chapel  Service  be  made  up  on  the 
first  Sunday  during  midyear  exams.  The  upshot  was  that 
Mountain  Day  was  held,  very  unenthusiastically,  and  on 
November  1  the  faculty,  in  res|X)nse  to  continued  pressure, 
extended  the  Thanksgiving  vacation  until  a  compulsory 
Chapel  service  on  the  following  Sunday. 

The  faculty  concession  extended  through  1933,  when 
both  Mountain  Day  and  the  long  Thanksgiving  weekend 
were  ailoived.  Students  were  urged  to  accept  the  con- 
cession in  the  right  spirit.  "We  want  this  to  be  a  good  old- 
fashioned  Mountain  Day."  said  Professor  Milham,  "one 
on  which  the  stu.lenls  will  climb  mountain-;  and  not  ride 
to  Ne*  York,  Northamp'on  or  North  Bennington" 
I  where  an  uplari  progressive  institution  was  causing 
raised  eyebro.vs  by  let'ing  the  girls  wear  shorts  to  classes) 
"Professor  Milham  (the  meteorology  professor  who  for 
years  had  set  the  "day  to  go  upon  the  mountain")  pointed 
out  that  in  the  past  20  years  the  average  has  been  that 
four  out  of  five  Mountain  Days  appointed  have  been  clear 
and  sunn> ." 

The  undergraduate  response  was  the  best  in  years. 
The  woe  planned  trips  to  Creylock,  Killinglon  Peak  and 
Ml.  Mansfield.  Apparently  the  Mansfield  project  fell 
through,  l)ut  the  RKCORD  for  Oct.  14  reported  that"A 
large  group  of  freshmen  under  the  leadership  of  D.  Ogilvie 
'34  climlied  Clreylock  in  the  morning, eating  at  the  Harris 
Memorial  Cabin;  while  a  hike  to  Killington  Mountain, 
for  upperdassmen,  conducted  by  Owen  '34,  was  well- 


Greylock  Expert  Wyllis  Wright  '25 


supported.  In  contrast  to  the  almost  non-existent  showing 
last  year,  the  old  Williams  tradition  of  Mountain  Day 
underwent  what  might  be  called  a  revival  as  a  total  of  al- 
most 40  undergraduates  hearkened  to  the  call  of  nature." 

The  "revival"  of  1933  proved  to  be  a  finishing  flourish, 
for  in  the  1934  college  catalogue  "Mountain  Day,  a  holi- 
day" was  stricken  from  the  calendar  of  events.  Incoming 
president  Tyler  Dennett  was  a  man  of  change,  not  one  to 
cling  nostalgically  to  old  traditions.  Professor  Beals  '31 
remembers  a  faculty  meeting  where  Dennett  spoke  scorn- 
fully of  Mountain  Day  as  "the  day  when  undergraduates 
go  to  Northampton  and  the  faculty  to  New  York."  Upon 
this,  the  dignified  old  head  of  the  Classics  Department, 
Professor  McLaren,  rose  holly  to  his  feet  and  defended 
it  as  a  day  he  was  sorry  to  see  go,  and  upon  which  he  had 
always  gone  climbing.  But  this  was  the  final  flicker,  a  last 
leaf  thrown  defiantly  on  a  pile  of  already-cooling  autumn 
ashes. 

In  his  quest  for  information  this  writer  talked  to 
several  faculty  members  who  were  undergraduates  in  the 
days  when  Mountain  Day  was  still  alive.  It  is  evident  that 
those  who  recall  it  clearly  look  back  on  it  with  a  good  deal 
of  affection.  "Oz"  Wyckoff  '21  tells  how  in  his  day  students 
sang  a  rather  ribald  version  of  "Every  Day  is  Ladies'  Day 
with  Me": 

"...  and  just  when  I'm  about  to  flop 

1  find  that  I'm  at  last  on  top — 

Oh!  everyday  is  Mountain  Day  with  me." 

Apparently  in  this  song  an  Indian  maiden  some- 
where at  the  end  of  the  trail  was  the  incentive  for  en- 
thusiastic hikers.  Ox  recalls  that  "a  good  many  climbed 
Greylock  on  Mountain  Day,  though  I  didn't  until  the 
year  after  graduation.  We  went  up  at  night  and  stayed  in 
the  bunkhouse  on  lop,  waking  for  the  sunrise  the  next 
morning.  It  was  one  of  the  most  inspiring  sights  I've  ever 
seen;  as  the  sun  came  up  rivers  of  fog  rolled  like  liquid 
down  the  sides  of  the  surrounding  peaks." 

Professor  Nelson  Bushnell  '21  recalls  that  in  his  day 
the  Mountain  Day  auto  exodus  had  begun  but  that  many 
students,  himself  included,  still  made  it  a  point  to  get  out 
and  enjoy  the  autumn  foliage.  Wyllis  Wright  '25,  the  Col- 
lege librarian,  labels  his  undergraduate  days  "the  period 
when  half  the  college  went  to  Smith  and  Vassar  on  Moun- 
tain Day  and  the  other  half  climbed  mountains.  When 
all  the  college  went  to  Smith  and  Vassar,  they  gave  it  up." 
Wright,  an  enthusiastic  hiker  who  once  tried  to  go  straight 
up  the  face  of  the  Hopper  to  the  top  of  Greylock,  and 
whose  favorite  trail  was  the  Cheshire  Hiu-bor  trail,  start- 
ing south  of  Adams  (it  was  reached  from  Williamstown 
by  trolley),  recalls,  like  Wyckoff,  that  "the  great  pastime 
was  to  start  about  midnight  or  2  a.m.  and  climb  Greylock 
for  the  sunrise".  He  said  he  had  almost  never  seen  a  clear 
dawn  in  eight  or  ten  tries.

Copeland  Terms  C 
Weekend  'A  New 


ar 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr.,  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  in  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
tor  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig 
ures,  Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honors. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Prof.   William  A.   Spurrier   '39, 


CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discussio 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

Frankie  Thorns  '31  remembers  Mountain  Day  as  just 
a  free  day  without  much  mountain  climbing  to  it,  but  a 
nice  tradition.  Both  he  and  Prof.  Larry  Beals  '31  remem- 
ber particularly  the  mounting  anticipation  as  day  after 
day  passed  in  early  October,  with  students  ever  more  sure 
that  loday  the  bells  would  ring  al  four  to  announce  the 
holiday  on  the  morrow.  Beals  remembers  that  several 
times  when  he  went  up  Greylock  on  Mountain  L^ay  he  met 
President  Garfield.then  quite  an  old  man,  on  his  way  down. 
Prof.  Whit  Stoddard  '35,  who  was  an  undergraduate  at 
the  time  of  the  upheaval,  thinks  that  the  Outing  Club  is 
more  active  now,  what  with  the  skiing  boom,  than  it  was 
in  the  Thirties. 

To  this  writer,  who  was  told  of  Mountain  Day  before 
he  ever  came  to  Williams,  and  to  otho'-s  on  the  outgoing 
RECORD  board,  the  loss  of  the  college's  oldest  tradition 
was,  as  Professor  Pratt  said,  a  loss  that  "cannot  be  meas- 
ured in  dollars  and  cents."  To  be  sure,  the  Outing  Club 
today  is  as  active  as  it  ever  was,  but  most  of  the  activity 
is  centered  around  Winter  Carnival.  Williams  undergrad- 
uates swarm  up  Greylock  after  the  freshman  picnic,  and 
perhaps  as  upperclassmen  drive  up  once  or  twice  to  the 
annual  WOC  picnic  on  top,  but  that's  about  the  extent  of 
active  exertion  towards  an  appreciation  of  their  surround- 
ings. Very  few  have  seen  the  fine  view  from  the  top  of 
Berlin,  or  even  know  where  the  mountain  is.  .Almost  no 
one  has  heard  of  Killington  Peak,  a  4000  foot  mountain 


only  two  hours  away  by  car,  let  alone  thought  of  oi-Mn- 
i?ing  an  expedition  to  climb  it,  (a  procedure  appannilv 
fairly  commonplace  in  the  era  of  Mountain  Days). 

In  a  word,  a  revived  Mountain  Day  would,  we  tlunk 
have  a  place  at  Williams.  The  Outing  Club  has  had  dif! 
ficulties  organizing  climbing  trips  not  because  there  ;ire 
no  people  who  want  to  go,  but  because  they  have  always 
conflicted  with  other  activities.  A  day  especially  set  a-ids 
would  let  plans  be  both  made  and  carried  out.  Simph  the 
idea  that  "this  is  Mountain  Day"  would  probably  in-])ire 
people  who  at  present  never  have  the  time  or  iheencijty, 
to  get  out  on  the  trails  and  find  out  what  they  have  been 
missing. 

Naturally,  as  in  the  Twenties,  many  would  prefer  the 
smell  of  gasoline  and  Matchabelli  perfume  to  the  rkan 
mountain  air.  A  possible  way  to  satisfy  more  customers 
would  be  to  arrange  Williams  and  Smith  Mountain  Days, 
for  example,  so  that  they  coincide,  and  have  the  respec- 
tive Outing  Clubs  plan  a  joint  expedition.  If  another  lioli- 
day  would  upset  class  schedules,  perhaps  a  Chapel  S.  rvice 
could  be  cancelled  or  postponed  and  Mountain  Day  held 
on  Sunday,  as  Sargent  proposed.  But  we,  unlike  Sargent's 
UU2  RLCORD,  think  that  Mountain  Day  need  not  he  a 
"traditionless  tradition",  and  that  it  would  be  neitlier 
pointless  nor  very  difficult  to  pick  up  those  rusted  links  with 
a  dim  and  not -so-dim  past  and  add  new  lengths  to  the 
chain.

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . .  ."^ 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  post  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  Is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  post. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rote  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

a  committee  be  formed  to  leave 
to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to- 
night. 


Wttlil«ii-Or,  Battk  To  future  In  Vi^ia  Vision 

by  Tom  DeLoiig 


Allhough  ilsmodusl  exterior  fails  to  outrank  liie  arch- 
iluctural  i-up'.ri  ):ily  of  Cram  and  Furguson  about  campus, 
nevertheless  the  Walden  Theatre  has  become  as  much  a 
Williams  institution  as  compulsory  chapel,  houseparties, 
and  Saturday  classes.  Located  on  the  town's  avenue  of 
mammon,  and  ne  lied  between  King's  Package  Store  and 
Marge's  (lift  Shoppee,  it  has  served  the  needs  of  Williams 
men  since  1916  with  "corporal  laughs",  "major  thrills", 
and  "general  hilarity." 

In  recent  years  the  Walden's  effect  on  undergraduates 
can  not  be  unde  estimated.  It  has  played  a  primary  role 
in  "the  tran  i'ion  from  campus  to  career,"  and  served 
as  "a  preparation  for  business  and  industry".  It  decidedly 
rivals  e^tra  curncular  activities,  and  runs  a  second 
only  to  l)ridge.  Often  it  is  the  scapegoat  for  the  lecture 
committee,  the  concert  committee,  and  the  academic 
standing  committee.  With  the  help  of  the  purple  hills,  the 
Walden  has  successfully  won  the  battle  against  television. 
It  has  not  resisted  progress,  but  has  adjusted  to  Cinema- 
scope, and  even  had  a  fling  with  3-D. 

Exam  Week  Classics 

As  each  year  goes  l)y,  the  perennial  favorites  return  to 
delight  and  enlighten.  "Stalag  17",  "The  Red  Shoes", 
"C.unga  Din",  "All  Quiet  on  the  Western  Front"  and 
"Born  Yesterday"  are  only  a  few  of  the  classics  which 
reappear,  usually  during  exam  week.  Few  can  deny  that 
eager  anxiety  that  builds  up  when  a  Grace  Kelly  or  Audrey 
Hepburn  flick  reaches  Spring  Street.  Any  combination 
of  "Hear  Window",  "Sabrina",  "To  Catch  a  Thief"  or 
"Roman  Holiday"  would  be  the  perfect  double  feature 
according  to  most  Ephmen.  With  the  passing  of  "High 
Society",  the  (Irace  Kelly  rooters  unofficially  disbanded 
and  se\  eral  secret  ly  joined  the  ranks  of  devotees  of  Kim 
Novak. 

The  influence  of  foreign  films  on  students  has  been 
conspicious.  With  the  appearance  of  such  French  flicks 
as  "Ciame  of  Love",  "Children  of  Paradise",  and  "Fan- 
Fan  the  Tulip",  the  numlx'r  of  French  majors  began  to 
increase.  This  was  later  off-set  by  "Mr.  llulot's  Holiday", 
and  a  g.o A ing  realization  that  one  picture  is  worth  a  thous- 
and words,  I'Yench  or  otherwise.  The  language  department 
has  resisted  all  attempts  to  establish  Italian  courses,  in 
spite  of  c;ina  Lolobrigida.  The  most  memorable  foreign 
film  of  recent  \ears  has  been  the  stimulating  Swedish 
import  "One  Summer  of  Happiness."  F'or  three  consecutive 
years,  it  has  disrupted  all  scheduled  campus  evening  acti- 
vities between  seven  and  eleven. 

"The  Ephman's  Paradise" 

Two  amusing  and  sophisticated  comedies  received 
widespread  attention  iateh'.  After  seeing  "The  Moon  is 
Blue",  one  eager  freshman  spent  the  mid-\'ear  break  on  the 
Empire  Slate  Building  Obt-ervation  Deck.  It  has  also  been 
reported  that  an  upperclassman  has  worked  out  an  ar- 
rangement a  la  .Mec  (iuiness  between  an  Ivmma  Willard 
student  and  (loll  at  Bennington,  in  what  he  has  called 
"The  Fphman's  Paradise." 

(Jf  course,  the  Walden  has  had  its  share  of  off-beat 
B-  C  plus  flicks.  Among  them  have  been  "Taza,  Son  of 
Cochise",  "Jungle  Man  Eaters",  "The  Mole  People", 
"Hot  Cars",  and  "Huk."  Without  the  mention  of  musi- 
cal productions,  an  analysis  would  not  lie  complete.  The 


apparance  of  "the  CAenn  Miller  Story"  and  subsequently 
"The  Benny  (don't  be  that  way")  Goodman  Story"  set 
undergraduate  taste  in  popular  music  back  15  years  (pro- 
bably for  the  better)  and  revived  the  pre-war  "jitterbug" 
era. 

The  influence  of  the  local  cinema  palace  can  best  be 
judgecl  by  noting  that  the  all-time  flick  record  is  held  by 
an  undergraduate,  who  claims  attending  150  movies  while 
a  freshman  by  alternating  between  the  Walden  and  N.  A. 
for  over  eight  months. 

Allhough  Grauman's  Chinese,  the  Roxy,  and  the 
Orietital  Theatres  may  be  more  sumplious  and  exotic 
pre-fab  replicas  of  the  Taj  Mahal,  the  Walden  never  lacks 
a  receptive  or  demonstrative  audience. 


Adiiiissionn  .  . . 

of  a  grad  sch(K)l  dean  at  an  orientation  lecture,  "Take  a 
good  l(X)k  at  the  man  on  your  left  and  the  man  on  your 
right,  because  by  the  end  of  the  year  one  of  you  won't  be 
here."  In  Copeland's  words,  "It  is  morally  wrong  for  any 
selective  college  to  maintain  a  policy  designed  to  flunk 
out  a  certain  number." 

So  far  with  the  class  of  1960  Copeland's  theory  is 
working  to  unprecedented  perfection:  not  one  freshman 
flunked  out  aftet  the  usually  fatal  first  semester. 

The  admissions  office  faces  its  toughest  problems 
from  two  unexpected  quarters.  Hardest  of  all,  reports 
Copeland,  is  relations  with  alumni.  Williams  gives  a  defin- 
ite break  in  its  admissions  policy  to  sons  and  brothers  of 
graduates,  but  Copeland  said,  there  are  many  complaints 
about  the  few  legacies  that  we  cannot  admit.  Besides  sons 
and  brothers,  alumni  exert  much  pressure  on  the  admis- 
sions office  to  accept  more  athletes. 

The  admissions  office's  next  hardest  task  is  trying 
to  admit  the  right  number  of  applicants  for  each  class. 
The  present  aim  is  to  get  285  each  year.  "If  we  should  some- 
how get  325  acceptances,"  said  Copeland,  "I'd  have  to 
head  for  the  deep  wo<jds."  In  general  he  figures  AO'y,  of 
those  who  get  accepted  will  finally  choose  other  colleges, 

This  takes  us  back  to  the  original  question  the  RE- 
CORD asked  Mr.  Copeland:  in  what  way  can  it  be  said 
that  the  Williams  type,  if  one  exists,  has  changed  over  the 
years?  First  of  all,  the  great  preponderance  of  Prep  School 
over  High  School  backgrounds  is  diminishing  markedly. 
In  the  class  of  1960  there  are  47.6';^  from  High  Schools, 
and  within  a  few  years  there  will  probably  be  an  even 
split . 

Second,  there  is  little  doubt  that  there  are  less  stu- 
dents who  can  get  away  with  little  or  no  studying  in  1957. 
A  conscientious,  hard-studying  type  is  gradually  killing 
off  the  romantic  hard-playing  breed  of  the  1930's.  The 
passing  of  ihe'hot  ticket"  type  is  deeply  mourned  in  some 
quarters,  and  it  w-as  caused  at  least  in  part  by  Admissions 
Office  standards.  On  the  other  hand,  some  think  this 
type  has  lasted  all  too  long,  and  that  the  Admissions  Of- 
fice has  not  r(»ted  it  out  soon  enough.  It  is  a  matter  of 
opinion;  ours  is  that  Fred  Copeland  '35  and  Peter  Pelham 
'55  have  found  a  good  middle  course. 

Is  there  a  trend  away  from  athletes?  When  asked  this 
question  Copeland  immediately  pointed  to  the  class  of 
1959,  which  he  termed  with  some  pride  "the  best  athletic 
class  in  years."  Actually  this  is  not  a  unique  phenomenon

THE' 


Copeland  Terms  C 
Weekend  'A  New 


Wednesday,  Feb.  6  -  Highlighted 
by  unprecedented  attendance  fig- 
ures, the  third  annual  Career 
Weekend  reached  "a  new  high" 
here  Friday  and  Saturday,  accord- 
ing to  Manton  Copeland  Jr„  Ex- 
ecutive Secretary  for  the  event. 

In  addition  to  the  overwhelm- 
ing student  turnout  which  Cope- 
land termed  "much  better  than 
we  ever  anticipated,"  the  Place- 
ment Director  also  cited  the  work 
of  the  50  Williams  alumni  who 
went  to  great  lengths  to  make  the 
Weekend  a  success. 

Preparation 

In  addition  to  hazardous  travel 
conditions  which  greatly  Incon- 
venienced most  of  the  visitors, 
Copeland  also  praised  the  speak- 
ers' concentrated  efforts  In  mak- 
ing the  panels  enlightening  and 
interesting.  Copeland  noted  that 
for  the  first  time  each  panel  had 
at  least  one  full  rehearsal  before- 
hand. 

Regarding  the  attendance  fig- 
ures, Copeland  stated  that  over 
1,000  names  were  registered  Sat- 
urday at  the  nine  morning  career 
panels  and  the  six  afternoon 
graduate  school  programs.  The 
Advertising-Public  Relations  and 
Foreign  Business  Opportunities 
panels  drew  130  and  120  persons 
respectively  to  take  top  honoi-s. 

Friday   Night 

A  good-sized  crowd  also  gath- 
ered Friday  evening  at  the  AMT 
to  enjoy  a  lively  Career  Forum. 
The  transition  from  campus  to 
career  was  discussed  from  three 
different  angles. 

Prof.   William  A.   Spurrier    '39, 


CAREER  WEEKEND:  A  panel  discussio 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  in 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

event  evi 


in  colleges  today:  we  have  a  relatively  small  number  of 
outstanding  performers  on  varsities,  but  little  athletic 
talent  on  intramural  levels.  The  admissions  office  is  search- 
ing for  students  who  are  also  athletes,  and  it  is  natural 
that  as  the  scholarship  level  goes  up,  the  overall  athletic 
ability  goes  down.  The  admissions  office  is  to  be  congratu- 
lated for  the  elite  of  really  good  athletes  it  has  managed 
to  recruit . 

Scllolui'HilipH  .  .  . 

Except  for  coveted  Tyng  scholarships  which  require 
Dean's  list  averages  for  the  last  three  years,  the  scholar- 
ship average  is  not  so  high  that  it  eliminates  all  non-Phi 
Bete  material.  The  average  goes  up  progressively  for  the 
four  years,  from  5.4  to  6.4. 

In  comparison  to  many  schools  Williams  is  quite  lib- 
eral in  allocating  funds  to  the  students  who  win  scholar- 
ships; some  have  complained  that  it  is  too  easy  to  "fake" 
on  scholarship  applications.  "We  do  expect  scholarship  boy 
to  operate  on  a  modest  budget,,"  stiid  Flynt,  "but  we  don't 
expect  them  to  go  without  recreation."  A  scholarship  stu- 
dent spends,  on  the  average,  about  $200  a  year  on  recrea- 
tion, Flynt  noted. 

The  scholarship  grants  are  delei mined  by  sulMracting 
the  amount  the  parents  can  supply  and  the  student  can 
make  during  the  year  from  his  total  budget.  Williams  then 
undertakes  lo  fil!  the  gap.  Fxcept  for  Tyng  scholars,  all 
are  expected  to  wail  on  tables  and /or  hold  othei  campus 
jobs. 

The  budgets  of  average  scholarship  men  range  between 
$1925  plus  travel  for  freshmen  to  $2200  plus  travel  for 
sophs  and  seniors.  Flynt 's  office  does  not  quibble  if  stu- 
dents offer  budgets  $50  or  $75  above  the  average,  but  when 
the  excess  is  more,  they  are  told  to  pare  down  the  budgets. 

In  sum,  Williams  does  not  have  the  best  scholarship 
program  in  the  country,  but  on  the  othei  hand,  in  com- 
parison to  those  of  the  vast  majority  of  colleges  throughout 
the  United  States,  the  Williams  program  is  quite  liberal. 

Record  Year  .  . . 

radio  station  installed  FM,  and  once  again  Career  Week- 
end brought  eager  and  questioning  undergraduates  to 
the  scheduled  panel  discussions.  The  Record's  editorial 
page  continued  to  enlighten  and  entertain,  as  such 
exposes  on  the  local  fire  department,  Dale  Long,  the 
Middle  East  crisis,  and  Dempsey's graced  its  six  stately 
columns. 

The  reign  of  the  Editors  of  '57  officially  came  to  an 
end  at  last  evening's  banquet  at  the  1896  House.  Its 
nine  members  sincerely  hope  that  Volume  71  will  bring 
forth  as  interesting  and  memorable  events  as  those 
they  experienced  during  their  year's  term  of  office.

"Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  1  hat . .  .'^ 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  cannpus.  Apparently,  there  are  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  hove  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
it  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  their* 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  past  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  past. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us.

rhe  transition  from  campus  to 
;areer  was  discussed  from  three 
lifferent  angles. 

Prof.   William  A.   Spurrier    '39, 


Chaplain  at  Wesleyan,  told  the 
students  that  to  travel  "The  Road 
to  Success",  one  should  follow  his 
own  abilities  and  integrity  rather 
than  misleading  social  pressures. 

'Be  Flexible' 

Atty.  Dickenson  R.  Deberoise 
'46,  in  his  witty  address,  in  ex- 
amining the  "Transition  from 
Campus  to  Career",  advised  the 
students  that  a  career  change  In 
midstream  should  not  be  overruled 
if  the  situation  warrants  such  a 
move.  "Always  do  what  you  really 
want  to  do",  he  said. 

Finally,  Mark  W.  Cresap  Jr., 
'32,  Executive  Vice  President  of 
Westinghouse,  praised  "Liberal 
Arts  as  a  Preparation  for  Business 
and  Industry"  because  it  gives  men 
a  wider  outlook  and  more  experi- 
ence in  dealing  with  people  rather 
than  facts.

^'Spring  Street,  Free  Enterprise  and  All  That . . . 


Next  to  sex  and  marks,  the  Spring  Street  monopoly  situation  is  one  of 
the  most  discussed  topics  on  campus.  Apparently,  there  ore  two  bones  of 
contention;  first,  that  monopolies  do  exist  on  Spring  Street  and,  second, 
that  the  student-run  enterprises  are  inefficient.  We  of  the  Student  Laundry 
realize  these  problems  and  have  sought  to  do  something  about  them. 

We  now  have  competitive  prices;  our  delivery  is  fast;  the  quality  of  the 
service  is  high;  and  we  offer  a  special  economy  launderette  service  which  is 
new  this  year.  In  this  special  service  our  prices  are  as  low  as  the  local  laund- 
erette. This  service  has  been  a  success  because  we  pick  up  and  deliver  and 
bill  monthly  at  no  extra  cost. 

Our  business  volume  has  gone  up  this  year  but  not  as  much  as  we  hoped 
It  would.  We  feel  this  lag  is  due  to  student  apathy  about  who  does  theii< 
laundry  and  natural  distrust  of  student  enterprises  due  to  post  poor  service. 
This  year  the  Student  Laundry  is  well  run;  we  are  trying  to  overcome  the 
bad  reputation  which  has  been  built  up  in  the  post. 

In  the  next  week  a  student  representative  will  come  around  to  sell  you 
our  semester  flat-rate  or  simply  to  encourage  you  to  try  our  laundry.  We 
will  appreciate  any  business  you  give  us. 

The  Student  Representatives  are  George  Sudduth,  Herb  Varnum,  Terry 
Vermilye,  and  Charlie  Miles.

tration agreed  to  defray  tuition 
and  fees  if  such  a  student  could 
be  found.  Teleki  was  referred  to 
Williams  by  a  Mr.  Schell  in  New 
York  who  met  the  young  refugee 
at  Kilmer. 

Special  Student 

Teleki  will  be  enrolled  as  a  spe- 
cial student  until  his  scholastic 
position  can  be  determined.  He 
speaks  some  English  and  Is  fluent 
in  German  and  French.  His  Inter- 
ests are  classical  music,  literature, 
and  photography.  He  hopes  to  be 
an  engineer.  Teleki  has  not  been 
to  school  since  1950  because  the 
Communist  regime  denied  him  ac- 
cess to  higher  education  due  to 
his  descent  from  the  old  Hungari- 
an aristocracy.

investigation.  He  returned  to  the 
council  with  the  administration's 
reasons  for  not  granting  this  cre- 
dit for  the  manager's  efforts.  The 
council  then  decided  to  work 
through  the  Purple  Key  on  this 
matter. 

To  Outline  Frojects 

The  next  meeting  of  the  coun- 
cil will  be  devoted  to  outlining  the 
main  projects  suggested  In  the  re- 
cent survey  of  class  opinion.  Al 
Martin  and  his  committee  have 
prepared  a  condensed  version  of 
the  answers  of  the  recent  ques- 
tionnaire, and  from  this,  the  coun- 
cil will  choose  three  or  four  pro- 
jects for  the  remaining  part  of 
the  year. 

President  Stegall  has  asked  that 
a  committee  be  formed  to  leave 
to  next  year's  freshman  class  a 
written  survey  of  what  this  year's 
council  has  done,  and  suggestions 
which  will  help  them  organize 
more  quickly  and  efficiently.  This 
will  also  come  under  consideration 
at  the  council's  next  meeting,  to- 
night.
