PRICE TEN CENTS
Explorer I Pushed To
Largest Satellite Orbit
Bt/ Theodore G. Mehlin
Professor of Astronomy
With the successful launching of a satellite from an army
Jupiter-C rocket at 10:58 pm EST Friday, January 31, the United
States undoubtedly regained some of the international prestige
which it lost as a result of the successful Russian Sputniks I and II.
Unlike the Navy's recent four-foot low altitude rocket record,
the Jupiter-C rocket developed more than its calculated power
and drove the Explorer I into a larger orbit than had been antici-
pated. At the lowest point in its orbit the space vehicle is 200 miles
above the earth's surface, and half-way aiound its orbit it reaches
a maxiinum elevation of 1700 miles. At this height tlie earth's
gravitational pull is only one half the sea level value. Explorer's
-speed of 18,000 miles an liour enables it to completely circle the
earth every 113 minutes.
Different Chapel
Based On Bible
Introducing a new twist to Sun-
day Chapel, the WCC sponsored
a lecture given by Dr. James
Mullenburg In place of the usual
Sunday service.
Rev. William S. Coffin denied
that this had any connection with
the compulsory chapel controversy.
The purpose of the lecture, Mr.
Coffin said, was to acquaint the
students with the Bible, and the
free chapel credit served only as
an inducement.
Finds Emptiness and Loneliness
Dr. Mullenburg said that a feel-
ing of emptiness and loneliness is
not found among the community
of believers who understand and
remember history as an unending
and mysterious stream of events
that reveal God's relation to his-
tory.
By listening to the stories of
the Bible the many peoples of the
world such as the Chinese, Afri-
cans, and Indians who are becom-
ing aware of themselves as a peo-
ple can see how the Israelites, who
have always been a part of his-
tory and Involved with other na-
tions and races, have interpreted
history.
By Interpreting through poetic
symbolism, the Israelites, Mullen-
burg contends, have always known
which way the world was going
and could look to the future with
courage.
Gargoyle Urges
Annual Assembly
The Gargoyle Society has pre-
sented a resolution to the Presi-
dent and Trustees of the college
suggesting that a formal convoca-
tion be held annually on the first
day of classes. They feel it would
emphasize the "formal Academic
aspect of the college year" and the
"dignity of the faculty".
Professor Samuel A. Matthews,
chairman pro-tempore of the fac-
ulty, later commented that a con-
vocation was already "definitely
In the works" and will be held
early next fall. "I think It will
serve the purpose of the Oargoyle
plan."
Along with the resolutions,
Dave Phillips, president of Gar-
goyle, announced that evaluations
of the Honor System and College
Public Relations will be released
shortly. The re-evaluation of the
sixty-year-old Honor System will
be the first in twenty years. It is
expected to suggest at least one
major change.
Facts and Figures
The 200-mlle minimum ap-
proach distance is the vital figure
in predicting a long life for the
satellite. Friction with the earth's
rarlfied outer atmosphere is pro-
bably the most important factor In
slowing the speed of the satellite.
Calculations, which indicate that
the density of the earth's atmos-
phere is one billionth of sea level
at 170 miles, and one million-mil-
lionth of sea level at 750 miles, in-
dicate the importance of having
the perigee at a good height. Sput-
nik I came within about 150 miles
of the earth In its early orbit and
Sputnik II within about 90 miles.
As the first of several artificial
satellites which the United States
plans to get into orbit during the
IGY, Explorer I is our first space
laboratory. It carries two radios
and sends ba,ck readings of cosmic
ray intensity, meteoric Impacts,
and the temperature of the space
near the satellite as well as the
temperatures of the satellite it-
self.

By Eric Davis
Winter Carnival 1958 is upon
us. With scarcely two and a half
days remaining before housepar-
tles, this reporter found the fol-
lowing letter crumpled under a
chapel pew. We print it here in
full in order to broaden our cov-
erage of history in the making.
Dear Gwendolyn,
It is with a spirit strangely rest-
less that I write to you tonight. It
Is awfully quiet here in the house;
It is 10:30 and all the fellows are
asleep or studying. My head is
shot with post-examination ten-
sion and aspirin; I am restless,
nervous. I find it most difficult to
write ... (A smeared blotch of per-
spiration obscures the course of
the discourse.)
... I now see why the great Les
Elgart will preside at a Great

hot jazz concert with Jimmy Mc-
Partland and The Clovers will
warm Chapin's sober walls, why a

basketball teams will see fierce

dent. "Whoever it was, he was
fairly well acquainted with the
system, for he stole books at a
time when many other students
wt-'ie leduliiiig ihcii Used book.:)
from the first semester," said
Chief Royal.
Discriminating Felon
"A further Indication that he Is
a student is that he selected only
those books which would be valu-
able in exchange," remarked Mr.
Cole.
Mr. Cole felt that perhaps the
larcener had an outlet outside of
Williamstown for selling the used
books, but Williamstown book
dealers Joe Dewey and Ray Wash-
burn have been notified. "I don't
know what I would do if I caught
him," said Mr. Washburn. "Pro-
bably hold him at gun point and
call Dean Cole."
Several clues have brought the
case nearer solution, and Chief
Royal feels that the thief has left
a well marked trail. He asked how
ever that anyone missing any
books or anyone with any clues
that might lead to the apprehen-
sion of the felon should notify the
college pohce.
Royal observed that this wave is
the first of its kind at Williams.
Former thefts were of single ex-
pensive items such as typewriters
and phonographs, There have been
cases in the past when an outsider
has come through and confiscated
a quantity of clothes and moved
on, but never a wave, such as this,
presumably perpetrated by a stu-
dent.

year's attendance, even though the
inducement of free cuts was not
offered this year, Ten and eleven
o'clock classes scheduled for Sat-
urday were held Friday afternoon
to free students for the morning
panels.
Statistics released by Manton
Copeland, head of the Career
Weekend Committee, indicate the
most popular session was that on
Education and Teaching, attend-
ed by 115 students. It included
President Baxter and contained
representatives of all phases of
secondary and higher education.
Stress Ability and Satisfaction
Saturday morning panels, For-
eign Business Opportunities and
Government Work were the best
attended. They were headed by
Alexander Chapman '22 and James
H. Ohly '33, respectively.
Graduate School panels were
held Saturday afternoon. Ii'ving
Smith '17, who gave one of the
keynote speeches Friday night,
headed the Law session, attended
by approximately one hundred
students.
Following each formal panel
session, there were question and
answer periods.
The panelists covered all as-
pects of each occupation, analys-
ing the challenges of various jobs,
general pay levels and opportuni-
ties for advancement. The re-
quirements of businesses and the
professions were discussed, among
which ability and satisfaction were
universally stressed.
Auer Speaks At
Career Meeting
Cites Individuality As
Essential To Success
By Ted Castle
"The corporation never wanted
my soul — and it doesn't now. And
it doesn't want yours. It just
wants the very best work you can
deliver." Speaking at the opening
salvo of Williams' Career Week-
end, Bernhard M. Auer '39, Cir-
culation Director of Time Maga-
zine, effectively countered the the-
sis of Whyte's "Organization
Man."
"Sociologists are concerned that
. . . a sort of creeping benevolence
might enslave you (in industry).
But this Is not industry's objec-
tive. In fact, your individuality,
your independant thought, is es-
sential to your success."
Auer's speech, which followed
two rather lengthy offerings on
similar subjects, dealt nominally
with the transition "Prom Schol-
arship to DoUarship." He empha-
sized that college students are
"better prepared for this transi-
tion mentally than (they) have
been for any other." Auer felt
that mental flexibility, adventure-
somness of mind, and self-reli-
ance are qualities both encouraged
at Williams and essential for busi-
ness success.
Mr. Auer added a list of his own
to numerous lists of qualities
needed by executives which the
speakers recommended.
"The ability to see the things
that need to be done.

ENCOURAGING
As alumni were speakinp; at the opening
foriirn of Career Weekend Friday in the AMT,
technicians sent the first American satellite-
carrying rocket into the night sky above Cape
Canaveral.
At Williams the relation between these two
events became significant at the Saturday af-
ternoon panel on education. It was the best-at-
tended panel of the weekend.
Because the East- West strategic duel will be
won or lost by our generation in the classroom,
this high interest in education is encouraging.
Career Weekend is, and should be, an in-
creasingly popular Williams institution. It gives
the student valuable advice and information to
help him plan his future.
The forum Friday night, where four alumni
spoke on the necessary qualifications for suc-
cess, was too long and repetitive. One can say
only so much on this subject, and each man
said much the same thing. This forum— except
as a somewhat contrived "opening salvo" for
the weekend— could be dispensed with in the
future unless a wider and more interesting vari-
ety of subjects can be discussed.
The panels on business, government work,
and the professions— although they varied widely
in quality— were on the whole valuable.
Probably the most important part of the
weekend was the personal contact between the
students and the invited alumni. It was from this
that the most was learned.
Thanks must go to Mr. Copeland, the stu-
dents, faculty, and especially the alumni who
participated.
PEKING GREETING
Last Satui-day tlie Recoiid received a point-
less New Year's greeting from Communist Clii-
na.
Postmarked in Peking, it was sent to us by
tJie All-China Student I'ederation. Wishing us
"Best New Yeai' Wishes for Peace, Friendshi])
and Happmess," it included a gaily-colored pic-
tuie of a cat widi a fish in its paws— somewhat
suggestive of an ad for tiie Chesapeake and Oliio
Railroad.
The card was a pleasant— though meaning-
less—greeting.
We wish that they could have sent us some
substantial information. In any newsijajjer we
can read about development |)rojects in the
Yangtze River Basin, but a ilirect personal con-
tact—beyond a mere cat on a New Year's card-
has great value.
This lack of dhect contact is unfortunate.
Widi no such contact tlie people of both na-
tions can develop quite distorted ideas about
each odier. A sbiking example of this kind of
distortion was a woman iii a Central Asian So-
viet repubhc who asked Arthur Koestler in
1932 whedier America was run by Negroes.
Such false knowledge can nurture tear be-
tween America and Communist China.
And tliis fear dai-kens the prospect of om-
living at peace with tlie generation of Chinese
who wished us "friendship and happiness."
Letters To The Editor
THE BARRACKS
To the Recobd:
Although I no longer Uve in tlie Barracks,
I diink that it is time that someone said jiublicly
what many have been saying privately. Cranted
die couples hving in the Barracks are jjrobably
some of the happiest. We are all glad to be mar-
ried and to be able to be togetlier even thougl)
it means livmg in substandard housing. How-
ever, the fact remains that they are cold, duty,
cellarless, and firetraps. You get them comfort-
ably warm in tlie winter and the first floor a-
partments overtax the kerosene stoves to an
extent that always causes the workmen to give
out warnings but one will try to keep warm
even if dangers are involved.
We brought our new baby back to the Bar-
racks last January when it was an unusual 28
below, and we wondered which would give out
first; the baby, the stove, or us. I won't go into
the difficulties of heating water, cooking on a
kerosene stove, constant overloading of the elec-
trical system, the paper thin walls and the lovely
kerosene odor that permeates the Barracks
dweller and follows him everywhere.
It may appear inapjjreciative to attack "tem-
porary" Barracks after the college has just paint-
ed them, but it is time that Williams and other
schools like her realized that the married stu-
dent is here to stay. Large schools across the
nation have built permanent married student
housing, where one third of the student popula-
tion is married. Here there must be 15 or 20
married students living hither and yon, and ap-
parently more every year join the ranks.
It seems that Williams should jiut some
thought and planning into providing adequate
housing for its married students to whom their
responsibility does not end simply because they
are married. This could be an opportunity for
Williams to set an example to others in the Ivy
League, who have taken an ostrich view of the
married student and his family.

'Foreign Aid Vital
To U.S. Future'-Ohly
By John Phillips
Manaiijng Editor
Can America meet the Communist threat? "Not unless the
United States mutual security jirograni can affect vasUy increased
living standards, security and military protection lor the under-
developed nations of the free world."
These are the words of Career Weekend sjicaker John II. Ohly,
a 1933 Williams graduate who now serves as Dejjuty Director of
Program and Planning for the International Cooperation Admin-
istration in Washington.
A history major at Williams, Mr. Ohly enjoyed a ]iromising
law career until 1940, when lie entered the War Department at
the behest of Secretary of War Patterson. Since then, Mr. Ohly
has been closely connected with operations in botli Statu and
Defense departments, serving as Assistant to the Director of the
Mutual Security Program initil the l.dA.'s organization two years
ago.
The I.e. A., successor to the Federal 0]ierations .\dniinistra-
tion (F.O.A. ), is currently operating in 80 countries with empha-
sis on those which are underdevelo'ied. It administers ]iast pro-
grams including Military Assistance, Truman's Point Four (tech-
nical assistance), and the Eui()]iean Recovery Program. Tims its
operations cover military, agricultural, and economic fields. Pre-
sent plans include such operations as complete elimination of ma-
laria from the earth within five vears.
One of the most difficult problems facing the I.C.A. is tlie
formulation of government jiolicy which can be effective for long-
range purposes. Mr. Ohly felt that two years of ])lanning might
lead to a more comjirehensive solution, but the immediacy of the
need renders this method inijiossible.
Mr. Ohly views the foreign security program as "hidispen-
sable to the preservation of our world position". He says simply
that if these development programs fail, "this country does not
have a future as a free nation; the pressures apjilied by Com-
munism and necessitv in underdeveloped countries will steadily
contract the extent and )iowcr of the free world until the U. S.
jiosition becomes untenable."
Editor's Note: President Eisenhoiver's reeord $74 billion peace-time

MUILENBURG, THE BIBLE,
AND THE BEAT GENERATION
Bi/ Charles II. Simpkin.mn '58 I
How can the two lectures recently delivered by Union Theo-
logical Seminary's Dr. James Muilenburg be appraised?
Surveys indicate Hiat while they were generally well received
many undergraduates complained that they were more awed than
informed.
What actually can be exjiected from two one hour lectm-es?
Under these circumstances Uie most that could be accomplished
would be a stimulation of tlie audience into pursuing the subject
further on their own.
Dr. Muilenburg stated that diis was the basic purpose of his
lectures and that as long as man is reflective and asks of life "what
does this mean?" then he is well on his way towards seeking a place
on which to stand and work out his beliefs.
Let us turn the question around now and ask how can Uie
undergraduate audience be appraised. Many comiilain that they
are religiously uncommitted, or at least confused, empty . . . and
"beat".
Maybe we are seeking knowledge in the wrong way. Did we
expect Dr. Muilenburg to convince us diat we could trust the Bi-
ble because it was literally true? Can diat "wee small voice in-
side" really exist on barren literal facts?
Certainly we must listen to "the community of historical men"
who have achieved a faith diat diere is a purpose behind history,
and have received the necessary courage to face the future. Cer-
tainly we must listen to our own intuitive response evoked by the
events and words interpreted in die Bible's narrative, symbol and
poetry. And above all we must respect our feelings of awe and
consciousness that something has "broken through" to us.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1958
Freshman Hockey Tie;
Hawkins Drills In Two
A break in the weather last Saturday allowed the Freshman
hoekey team to S(|ueeze in its seeoiid j^aiiie of the year as it played
to a 4-4 overtime draw with the Taft Sehool at Watertowii, Comi-
ectieut. Handieapped by a lack of game experience, the Eph year-
lings were out-jiositioned by Taft.
Williams <)|)eiied the scoring in the first period as Nick Ohly
took a feed from Larry Hawkins in the center and drilled it home.
Taft retaliated in the same stanza
Icemen To Reopen
he Williams Hockey Team re-
18 its season against the Uni-
:lty of Massachusetts today at
lerst after a three week lay-
tying the score after a scramble in
front of the nets.
score 2-2 Hawkins earned his
third point of the day by picking
up a loose puck In his offensive
zone, beating the defenseman, and
lighting the lamp from fifteen feet.
Taft made It three all on a break-
away In the productive second per-
iod, but soon after Tony Stout
sent Williams ahead 4-3 on a drive
from Inside the blue line.
Williams Pressed
The final game-tying goal came
at about twelve minutes of the
same period. The third period was
scoreless as Taft displayed tremen-
dous hustle and backchecking,
which kept Williams lied up. In
the five minute overtime the
freshmen kept the puck in the
Taft zone but failed to score.
U. of Mass. has already lost to
Amherst 2-0. Consequently, the
showing against Massachusetts
should be some indication of the
outcome of Saturday's game a-
galnst Amherst here.
Williams goes into this game
with a 4-6 record. This will be the
sixth game since 1953. Williams
has yet to be beaten by U. of Mass.,
defeating them last year by a 4-3
score.
Captain Dave Cook, leading goal
scorer for Williams, was injured
during a practice session last week
when a stick cut him just above
the eye. The chances are pretty
good, however, that Cook will see
action today as well as Saturday
against Amherst.

For Fifth Victory
Siena College will furnish the
opposition tomorrow night as the
Williams varsity basketball team
plays the second of a three game
home stand. The contest will be at
the Lasell gym at 8:15 p.m.
Siena Losses
The visiting Indians have drop-
ped their last four games and now
hold a 4-6 record for the season.
In the Union College toui-nament
Siena lost only to their hosts af-
ter defeating R.P.I, and Hamilton.
The Eph five holds an early sea-
son victory over this same Union
team.
Balanced Teams
Siena is not a tall team and
can be expected to play controll-
ed ball with smooth offensive pat-
terns and weaves. The visitors
have no single offensive standout
but will rely heavily on the re-
bounding and shooting of Pat
Martone, who won a berth on the
Union tournament all-star team.
Against the balance of Siena Wil-
liams will use an attack centered
around junior high-scorer Jeff
Morton but can be expected to
show a better fast break and more
team speed than in their earlier
contests.

ENCOURAGING
As alumni were speakinp; at the openinj»
forimi of Career Weekend Friday in tire AMT,
technicians sent the first American satellite-
carryinjr rocket into the night sky above Cape
Canaveral.
At Williams the relation between these two
events became significant at the Saturday af-
ternoon panel on education. It was the best-at-
tended panel of the weekend.
Because the East- West strategic duel will be
won or lost by our generation in the classroom,
this high interest in education is encouraging.
Career Weekend is, and should be, an in-
creasingly popular Williams institution. It gives
the student valuable advice and information to
help him plan his future.
The forum Friday night, where four alumni
spoke on the necessary qualifications for suc-
cess, was too long and repetitive. One can say
only so much on this subject, and each man
said much the same thing. This forum— except
as a somewhat contrived "opening salvo" for
the weekend— could be dispensed with in the
future unless a wider and more interesting vari-
ety of subjects can be discussed.
The panels on business, government work,
and the professions— although they varied widely
in quality— were on tlie whole valuable.
Probably the most important part of the
weekend was the personal contact between the
students and the invited alumni. It was from this
that the most was learned.
Thanks must go to Mr. Copeland, the stu-
dents, faculty, and especially the alumni who
participated.
PEKING GREETING
Last Satiirday tlie Recoiid received a point-
less New Year's j^reetiiig from Communist Clii-
na.
Postmarked iii Peking, it was sent to us by
the All-China Student t<ederation. Wishing us
"Best New Year Wishes for Peace, FrieudshiiD
and Happiness," it included a gaily-colored jjic-
tuie of a cat with a fish iu its paws— somewhat
suggestive of an ad for the Chesapeake and Ohio
Raikoad.
The card was a pleasant— though meaning-
less—greeting.
We wish that they could have sent us some
substantial information. In any newspaper we
can read about development projects in the
Yangtze River Basin, but a direct personal con-
tact—beyond a mere cat on a New Year's card-
has great value.
This lack of direct contact is unfortunate.
Witli no such contact tlie people of both na-
tions can develop quite distorted ideas about
each odier. A striking example of this kind of
distortion was a woman iu a Central Asian So-
viet republic who asked Aithur Koestler in
1932 whetlier America was rmi by Negroes.
Such false knowledge can nm-ture fear be-
tween America and Communist China.
And this fear darkens the prospect of our
Hving at peace witli tire generation of Chinese
who wished us "friendship and happiness."
Letters To The Editor
THE BARRACKS
To the Record:
Although I 110 longer live in the Barracks,
I tiiink that it is time that someone said ])ublicly
what many have been saying privately. Granted
the couples living in the Barracks are probably
some of the happiest. We are all glad to be mar-
ried and to be able to be togetlier even tiiough
it means living in substandard housing. How-
ever, the fact remains that they are cold, dirty,
cellarless, and firetiaps. You get them comfort-
ably warm in tlie winter and the first floor a-
partments overtax the kerosene stoves to an
extent that always causes the workmen to give
out warnings but one will try to keep warm
even if dangers are involved.
We brought our new baby back to the Bar-
racks last January when it was an unusual 28
below, and we wondered which would give out
first; the baby, the stove, or us. I won't go into
the difficulties of heating water, cooking on a
kerosene stove, constant overloading of the elec-
trical system, the paper thin walls and the lovely
kerosene odor that permeates the Barracks
dweller and follows him everywhere.
It may appear inappreciative to attack "tem-
porary" Barracks after the college has just paint-
ed them, but it is time that Williams and other
schools like her realized that the married stu-
dent is here to stay. Large schools across the
nation have built permanent married student
housing, where one third of the student popula-
tion is married. Here there must be 15 or 20
married students living hither and yon, and ap-
parently more every year join the ranks.
It seems that Williams should put some
thought and planning into providing adequate
housing for its married students to whom their
responsibility does not end simply because they
are married. This could be an opportunity for
Williams to set an example to others in the Ivy
League, who have taken an ostrich view of the
married student and his family.

'Foreign Aid Vital
To U.S. Future'-Ohly
By John Pliillips
MatKifiiiiji Editor
Can America meet the Connnimist threat? "Not unless the
United States mutual security jirograni can affect vastly increased
living standards, security and military iirotectioii for tiie under-
developed nations of the free world"
These are the words of Career Weekend S|)eaker John II. Ohly,
a 1933 Williams graduate who now serves as Uejjuty Director of
Program and Planning for the International Cooperation Admin-
istration in Washington.
A history major at Williams, Mr.
law career until 1940, when lie entere
the behest of Secretary of War Palter
has been closely connected witli ope
Defense departments, serving as AssisI
Mutual Security Program until the I.C./\. .^ o. ;:,<...... ^
ago.
The I.e. A., successor to the Federal Operations Administra-
tion (F.O.A.), is currently operating in 80 countries with em|5ha-
sis on those which are underdevel()|)ed. It administers past pro-
grams including Military Assistance, Truman's Point Four (tech-
nical assistance), and the Eiuopean Recovery Program. Tlius its
operations cover military, agricultural, and economic fields. Pre-
sent plans include such operations as comjjlete elimination of ma-
laria from the earth within five years.
One of the most difficult problems facing the I.C.A. is tire
formulation of govenuneiit |jolicy wiiich can be effective for long-
range purposes. Mr. Ohly felt that two years of plainiing might
lead to a more comprehensive solution, but the immediacy of the
need renders this method impossible.
Mr. Ohly views the foreign security program as "indispen-
sable to the preservation of our world position". He says simply
that if these development programs fail, "this country does not
have a future as a free nation; the pressures ai)pliea by Com-
munism and necessity in underdevelojicd coimtries will steadily
contract the extent and power of the free world until the U. S.
position becomes untenable."

MUILENBURG, THE BIBLE,
AND THE BEAT GENERATION
Bi/ Charles 11. Simpkin.mn '58 i
How can the two lectures recently delivered by Union Theo-
logical Seminary's Dr. James Muilenburg be appraised?
Surveys indicate diat while they were generally well received
many undergraduates complained that they were more awed than
informed.
What actually can be expected from two one hour lectures?
Under these circumstances the most that could be accomj^lishcd
would be a stimulation of the audience into pursuing the subject
further on their own.
Dr. Nhiilenburg stated that this was the basic purpose of his
lectures and that as long as man is reflective and asks of life "what
does this mean'?" then he is well on his way towards seeking a place
on which to stand and work out his beliefs.
Let us turn the question around now and ask how can the
undergraduate audience be appraised. Nhiny complain that they
are religiously uncommitted, or at least confused, empty . . . and
"beat".
Maybe we arc seeking knowledge in the wrong way. Did we
expect Dr. Muilenburg to convince us that we could trust the Bi-
ble because it was literally true? Can that "wee small voice in-
side" really exist on barren literal facts?
Certainly we must listen to "the comminuty of historical men"
who have achieved a faith that there is a purpose behind history,
and have received the necessary coinage to face the future. Cer-
tainly we must listen to our own intuitive response evoked by the
events and words interpreted in the Bible's narrative, symbol and
poetry. And above all we must respect our feelings of awe and
consciousness that something has "broken through" to us.

Freshman Hockey Tie'^
Hawkins Drilh In Two
A break in the weather hist Saturday allowed the Freshman
hoekey team to scjueeze in its seeond ^anie of the year as it played
to a 4-4 overtime draw witli the Taft School at Watertown, Conn-
ecticut. Handicapped by a lack of game ex])erienee, the Eph year-
lings were out-positioned by Taft.
Williams opened the scoring in the first period as Nick Ohly
took a feeil from Larry Hawkins in the center and drilled it home.
Taft retaliated in the same stanza
Icemen To Reopen
The Williams Hockey Team re-
opens its season against the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts today at
Amherst after a three week lay-
off.
tying the .score after a scramble in
front of the nets,
Stout Scores
In the second period Taft went
ahead 2-1 before Larry Hawkins
sank a backhand shot while his
team was a man down. With the
score 2-2 Hawkins earned his
third pKsint of the day by picking
up a loose puck in his offensive
zone, beating the defenseman, and
lighting the lamp from fifteen feet.
Taft made it three all on a break-
away in the productive second per-
iod, but soon after Tony Stout
sent Williams ahead 4-3 on a drive
from inside the blue line.
Williams Pressed
The final game-tying goal came
at about twelve minutes of the
same period. The third period was
scoreless as Taft displayed tremen-
dous hustle and backchecking,
which kept Williams tied up. In
the five minute overtime the
freshmen kept the puck in the
Taft zone but failed to score.
U. of Mass. has already lost to
Amherst 2-0. Consequently, the
showing against Massachusetts
should be some indication of the
outcome of Saturday's game a-
gainst Amherst here.
Williams goes into this game
with a 4-6 record. This will be the
sixth game since 1953. Williams
has yet to be beaten by U. of Mass.,
defeating them last year by a 4-3
score.
Captain Dave Cook, leading goal
scorer for Williams, was injured
during a practice session last week
when a stick cut him just above
the eye, The chances are pretty
good, however, that Cook will see
action today as well as Saturday
against Amherst.

Siena is not a tall team and
can be expected to play controll-

but will rely heavily on the re-
bounding and shooting of Pat
Martone, who won a berth on the
Union tournament all-star team.
Against the balance of Siena Wil-

around junior high-scorer Jeff
Morton but can be expected to
show a better fast break and more
team speed than in their earlier
contests.

I have heard some fanciful stor-

with our high standards of char-

any element of truth in them,
however, our Society for the Pro-

But, gee, Gwen. I was thinking

Ms America's population, pro-
duction and income continue to
increase, so does the country's
need for insurance in all its diverse
aspects. And v^rith this ever-increasing
need, there is a corresponding
need for intelligent young executives
—men who in turn will become the
future leaders of the industry.
More and more young men have
found that an insurance career offers
the prestige, the stimulation, and
the opportunity they want-that it is
literally an open window on the world.
From oil wells to ocean liners, insurance plays an Impor-
tant part in every pliase of commerce and industry . . .
From tropical jungles to arctic waters, wherever Man's
activities extend, insurance provides an instrument
for peace of mind and protection against loss . . .
From man-made fibres to atomic power plants, insurance
matches new developments with new coverages, new plans,
and continuing demand for initiative and imagination.
One of the world's foremost insurance brokerage firms, Johnson &
Higgins has provided and will continue to provide rewarding careers for
young men who are capable of answering this challenge,

Coach Ostendarp To
Accept Cornell Offer
By John Philips
Manag^ing Editor
Coaching ability rarely escajjes recognition or reward. Coach
Jim Ostendarp's ability has long hecTi recognized. His reward was
inevitable, and he informed Ath-
letic Director Prankie Thorns last
Saturday that he had accepted a
coaching position with Cornell
University.
His new position at Cornell will
entail duties as a defensive coach
for varsity football in the fall, and
as a lacrosse coach in the spring.
He expects to ssume his new ca-
pacity on July 1, 1958.
Experience Here
Mr. Ostendarp leaves Williams
after three years of coaching
which began in September, 1955.
During his first year in Williams-
lown, he directed one of the fin-
ej. freshman football teams in
Williams history. His squad cul-
iiiinaled their undefeated season
with a bone-crushing 52-0 victory
over the Amherst frosh.
Promoted to backfield coach of
the varsity in 1956, Ostendarp's
work in the past, as well as his
scouting abilities, made an in-
valuable contribution to this year's
undefeated football season.
Wrestling, I>acrosse
In addition to his football
chores, Mr. Ostendarp has served
for three years as head wrestling
coach, and this spring he will com-
plete three seasons as coach of the
varsity lacrosse team.
When questioned about his de-
parture, Mr. Ostendarp expressed
regret about leaving Williams be-
cause of the attachment he has
felt for the school. He had special
regrets, he said, about "leaving
the boys; they taught me a lot".
Coach Ostendarp played pro
football with the New York Giants
in 1952 before going to the Cana-
dian football League. There he was
voted the Most Valuable Player of
the Year before coming to Wil-
liams.

North Adams Blaze
Guts Tenement House;
Two Children Killed
By Ernie Imhoft
Feature Editor
The most devastating North
Adams fire in decades completely
gutted a four-story tenement
building on River Street early
Wednesday moi-ning.
Dead were two young children
of the Edward P. Grey family
while 31 other residents were made
refugees in neighboring liomes. A
third child, Doris Grey, 11, sister
of the two killed was reported in
good condition at the North Ad-
ams Hospital after jumping from
the top floor.
Under Investigation
The origin of the halocaust be-
came the object of a full-scale
probe launched Wednesday after-
noon by the state Fire Marshall's
office in Pittsfield and other of-
ficials. The fire apparently start-
ed in a second floor couch, quite
possibly by a cigarette.
The first alarm was sounded at
0:30 and fire trucks arrived as
smoke poured out of the third and
fourth floor windows. Area Red

Election Change
Rejected By CC
From fear that It would "de-
generate into a political circus"
which would "corrode some of the
solid conservatism" which is so
"highly valued" on the Williams
campus, the College Council, in
a Tuesday meeting, rejected an
imaginative plan submitted by
Jack Betz and Dick Jackson for
the revision of CC election proce-
dure.
The plan proposed the use of
nominating conventions and a
majority system. The Council
members felt that the mechanics
of the plan could not be made
practicable in the short time be-
fore this year's election. They vot-
ed unanimously to refer It back to
committee.
A test on Sandy Hansen's plan
for the typing of exams was re-
ported successful, and the plan
was submitted to the faculty.
Faculty Lectures Hit
Education, US Alliance
GAUDINO
What is the place of the busi-
nessman in higher education?
Professor Robert L. Gaudino gave
his answers to this question in his
lecture "Higher Education And
The Man of Business," presented
as part of the faculty lecture ser-
ies Feb. 6.
Gaudino said that businessmen
select the president and other of-
ficers of an educational institu-
tion, determine its policy and con-
trol its funds because of their po-
sitions as trustees and regents.
Although their opinion is often
considered, "faculty and students
can seldom claim a legal resort
against these agents." The busi-
nessmen have this position of pow-
er because "their property, in
name, possession and contact is of
value to higher education."
Public vs. Private
Drawing the distinction between
public and private education, Gau-
dino said that public education
produces critical, alert, intelligent
citizens, while private education
pursues truth for its own sake and
for the sake of man's improve-
ment. In his discussion of public
education, Gaudino stated his be-
lief that It is everyone's prefer-
rential civil right and should be
supported and protected.
Continuing his distinction be-
tween public and private higher
education, he said that colleges
give a "public" education because
of the immaturity of the students,
whose interest in learning is not
yet fully developed.
Universities, on the other hand,
provide more mature students with
a "private" education.
No Compromise
Gaudino stated that the pur-

BAXTER
By Ted Castle
That the United States entered
World War I in order to main-
tain the balance of power was ef-
fectively refuted Wednesday night
by President James P. Baxter III
in the third of his current series
of lectures sponsored by the So-
cial Council.
Baxter divided the problem of
American alliances in the two
world wars into two lectures. Next
week he plans to contrast the
causes of our intervention in 1917
with those surrounding our dec-
laration of war in 1941.
Theodore Roosevelt wrote in
1910 that if England capitulated
the US would have to step in to
maintain the balance of power.
Although this was "extremely
farsighted" Baxter contended
there was no evidence to support
the claim that the balance of pow-
er was a factor in 1917's declara-
tion. "We were pretty much kick-
ed (into the war) by the Germans
over the submarine controversy,"
he stated. "How far people were

In noting the unusually high num-

Dean Cole warned, however, a-

He stressed the necessity for

boring routine for you, you ought
to get out."

Book Thief Suspects
By John Good
"The Case of the Student Book
Thief" is now closer to solution.
Williams Bookstore owner Joe
Dewey reported to the college
police that a student had success-
fully passed four of the allegedly
stolen books. Dewey did not get
the student's name at that time,
but he searched through a number
of freshman handbooks in order to
link up the face with a name.
Dewey selected several pictures,
and on the basis of further des-
cription the number of suspects
was lowered. Since then Dewey
has been on the alert. Although he
was unable to make positive iden-
tification of one of the prime sus-
pects, the bookstore proprietor
said that he was "pretty darn
sure," that the student in question
had passed the books.
Other Booi(s Stolen
Nearly 60 books have been sto-
len. College Chief of Police George
Royal reported that several more
were taken within the last week.
So far only six of the books have
been passed in Williamstown.
Although Dewey's identification
of the student who sold the books
here is helpful. Royal emphasized
that this does not indicate that
he is the only suspect involved,
nor that he is definitely connect-
ed with the thefts.
It is not expected that the case
will be closed by the weekend. This
is the first occurrence of theft on
so wide a scale at Williams. In the
past there has been some petty
thievery, but was believed to be
mainly from the outside. Thus the
college police force is especially
anxious to clear up this case.
General: Do not let your anxi-
eties show. Quench .such habits as
biting nails, playing tune." or voui'
teeth, continual knuckle cracking
(never hers), solitaire, juggling.
Be winning. Be confident. Repeat
ten times a day: "I am a man."
Savour that word "man". Believe
in it.
2. Party Situations: These oc-
casions are designed to bring out
the most pleasing attributes of hu-
man character. Do not neglect,
however, to have fun; simple
games such as yogi are a great
help. Psychoanalysis of contempo-
raries can provide exciting and
stimulating recreation.
On no occasion be what is call-
ed "collegiate". Avoid excessive

Faculty and students are In-
vited to the competition. Entrants
must sign a list posted in front of
the RECORD office, supply a deck
of cards to be returned and pay

COW REVIEW
btj Mack Hasslcr
Executive Manag^ing Editor
"Ah yes, I wrote the Purple Cow,
I'm sorry now I wrote it.
But I can tell you anyhow
I'll kill you if you quote it."
This rhyme, found among the back pages of
the Winter Carnival edition of the Purple Cow,
strikes terror into the heart of any would-be re-
viewer. At tlie risk, however, of incurring such
vengeance and stimulated especially by the new
departure the Cow has taken, a few comments
are in order.
First of all, it must be known that the cur-
rent issue is a hybrid. Combined with the humor
are twenty some pages of what used to be a
separately published program for Carnival e-
vents. The format is attractive, there are clever
drawings adjacent, and the articles are entitled
with humorous quips. Despite all this, though,
and despite the good will of the Cow in provid-
ing a program for the weekend, it is a disturbing
synthesis.
Disturbing for the reason that the Cow
should not have to combine with an object of
an entirely different function. Williams College
should be able to support a Humor Magazine, a
Literary Magazine, a Political Forum, and a
Newspaper— each for its own merit. But this
must be continued outside a review— and a very
favorable one— of the creative section of the Pwr-
ple Cow.
The most ambitious efforts are several paro-
dies of familiar prose styles. E. J. Johnson, writ-
ing under the pen name of Victoria Youngblood,
tells the touching story of a slightly mis-guided
young lady of society— a hi Francoise Sagan.
For obvious reasons this will be the most ap-
pealing story, although John Burghardt has per-
haps a more skillful parody of Joseph Conrad's
style.
Editor Tony Distler, then, relies on several
traditions to complete the magazine. The most
tiresome of these leftovers is "Norman Vincent
Pile" who apparently forgot many drawers full
of copy when he left school two years ago. Also
Distler revives a feature on skiing, the pictures
of which look awfully familiar. How could any-
one forget the most photogenic skier at Wil-
liams, Geoff Swift?
A delightful cartoon appears on page two in
which a ladder, leaning against the "climb high,
climb far . . ." gate, is seen disappearing into the
sky. Footprints in the snow lead up to it. With
more of the same talent, and with a supporting
interest which would allow it to be itself— not
a hybrid The Purple Cow could approach this
ladder of excellence.
Career Weekend Analysis
Editor's Note: Mr. Coffin viacle some con-
troversial remarks about career weekend last
Sundai/. We asked him to develop them into an
article, which follows:
by William S. Coffin .
College Chaplain
Everyone must have been impressed by the
organization of Career Weekend, the result of
much time and effort put in by Manty Copeland,
Jim Stevens and others. Everyone should also
have been impressed by the willingness of the
many panelists to come. Let's face it, I don't
care where you start, Williams is an awful place
to get to.
I take it the Saturday jjanelists were asked to
speak about the "nuts and bolts" of their jobs
and professions. The one I heard did just this
very well. I didn't hear any weaknesses men-
tioned but I didn't expect to; after all there was
a certain amount of competitive rec .xiiting going
on.
The Friday night panel, however, was sup-
posed to be different. "Climb High, Climb Far:
Why?" "From Scholarshi]> to Dollarship"— these
titles called for a broader, more critical approach,
for an effort to relate a man's work to his life,
a weighing of values, a balancing of pros and
cons, a facing up to dilenunas. But not a con,
not a dilemma was mentioned. Instead we heard
the usual cliches— "Of course there is some con-
formity but there is plenty of individualism;"
individuality is essential to success—" phrases
without meaning until further defined.
At first I thought the avoidance of any dis-
cussion of dilemmas deliberate. But as the dis-
cussion period wore on, it became apparent, at
least to me, that the panelists were not talking
about dilemmas simply because they did not
consider them live issues. For instance, when
pressed to analyze the question of conformity,
the panelists summarily dismissed all literature
on the subject as "extremist" and kindly counsel-
ed the questioning student not to worry.
Every sensitive business and professional
man knows his job is full of unavoidable dilem-
mas. To mention just a few moral ones: adver-
tisers in an economy of abundance have to make
luxury items into necessities; salesmen have to
persuade people to buy things they obviously
don't need, moreover, in downpayments that
hurt in times, like ours, of recession; journalists
are called upon to conform to a certain line of
thinking and writing; lawyers are asked to prove
people morally wrong, legally right. And many
members of every profession have the enormous
psychological problein of self-realization, when
work becomes only a job to be done instead of a
vocation in which one can fine intrinsic meaning.
Mr. Auer, I think, did get at this last dilem-
ma in a very indirect way. At one point he said,
"If you are cynical, don't go into business." The
implication to me was that to question the value
of an enterprise was to be cynical. And the fur-
ther implication was that one must read a value
into a job when it is not intrinsically there. This
solution was echoed Saturday by an advertising
man: "Don't go into advertising unless you love
it with a passion." Isn't it significant that never
once in the course of the Friday evening speeches
was it suggested that a man draws satisfaction
from the value of the product he manufactures
or sells? This suggests that business must often
be considered a game, which is exactly how many
salesmen, for example do think of it. But isnt
it light-hearted to consider a business a 'game
when its consequences for all involved are far
more serious than those of a game? All these
dilemmas strike me as real and worthy of dis-
cussion.
Mr. Auer— and I can pick on him because he
obviously can strike back very ably— quoted a
friend as saying that he had 'Tjeat a hasty re-
treat" from business into teaching. I think I am
right in thinking that Mr. Auer also would con-
sider the move a retreat. The "real" world is the
world of business and I'm inclined to agree with
him. Most teachers— and preachers— live in a
slightly tmrcal world because we are rarely ask-
ed to make the agonizing compromises which the
vicissihides of other professions necessitate. ( See
"By Love Possessed.") But any businessman
who is unaware of the dilemmas of life (unlike
Arthur Winner) is also "beating a hasty retreat."
In fact, he has just reached the last line of de-
fense, which, for any man confronted by dilem-
mas he cannot face, is always to deny their exist-
ence. For this reason, the presentation of the real
world of business struck me as very unreal Fri-
day evening.

A SCHOOL AWAY FROM SCHOOL
Students majoring in .science, like all other American
students, have a wild yearniiifr for culture, hut, alas,
when a student is after a degree in engineering or math
or like that, he simply does not have time to lake all the
hberal arts coiusos his heart pines for.
And what is being done about this unhappy situation?
I'll tell you what: lOnliglitoned corporations everywhere
are setting up on-the-jol) liberal arts programs for the
newly employed scienee graduate — courses designed to
broaden his cultural base — for the enlightened corpora-
tion realizes that, tlie truly cultured employee is the truly
valuable emi)loyop.
Take, for example, Lamhswool Sigafoos.
A week after his graduation, Lambswool reported to
Mr. Femur, tiie personnel director of an enlightened cor-
poration engaged in the manufacture of cotter pins and
wing mits. "How do you do?" said Laml)swo(jl. "I'm
Lambswool Sig.'ifoos ;uid I've come to work."
"Sit down," said Mr. luMnur, chuckling kindly. "Have
a Marlboro."
"Thaids you," said Lambswool. "I like Marlboros.
I like their filter and their flavor."
"Me loo," said Mr. I''cnun', blinking humanely. "And I
like their (lip-top box. When my flip-top box of Marlboros
is empty, I use it to keep fish hooks in."
"Know what I do when my flip-top box of Marlboros
i.-^ empty?" asked Lambswool.
"What?" said Mr. I''cmur, sniggering graciously.
"1 buy siinie more Marlboros." said Lambswool.
".\ sound idea," said Mr. Femur, vibrating fetchingly.
"But enough chit-chat, ("ome along to the campus."
"Campus?" said Lambswool, puzzled. "But I've come
to woik. Take me to my drawing board."
"This is an eidightencd corporation," said Mr. l''emur,
yodelling viciously. "First you nuist get your cultural
base broadened."
Mr. Fenuu- took Lambswool to Ibc training campus,
which looked like any other campus. It had ivy-covered
buildings, dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses, a
stadium, a deer park, and a moat. Lambswool was given
a loommate, a beanie, and copies of the company hymn
and rou.ser, and the enlightened coriwration proceeded to
fill the gaj) in his culture.
First he was taught to read, then to print capital letters,
then capital and small letters. Then there was an attempt
to teach him script, but it was ultimately abandoned.
From these fundamentals, Lambswool progressed slowly
but steadily through the more complex discii)liiies. He
was diligent, and the corporation was patient, and in the
end they were rewarded, for when Lambswool finished,
he could play a clavier, compose a triolet, parse a sentence,
and identify the hirthsloiie for every month of the year.
His lengthy .schooling finally over, Lambswool was
assigned to an important executive position where he
served with immense distincfion. . . .Not, however, for
long, because one week later he reached retirement age.
Today, still spry, he lives in St. Petersburg, Florida,
where he supplements his pension by parsing sentences
fur tourists.

Friday's Music Will "Swing"
By Joe Turner
When the houselights are fin-
ally dimmed and the audience as-
sembled, Chapin Hall will be once
again ready for the sounds of jazz.
On Saturday at 7:30 the collegiate
jazz-lover will enjoy two groups of
some importance — The Clovers
and Jimmy MacPartland's Dixie
Band.
It is not expected that the voice
of human emotion expressed by
the rockin-and-roUin Clovers will
bear close resemblance to the mu-
sical feelings of Mr. MacPart-
land's trumpet. This discrepancy,
however, is just one of the factors
that should make the concert an
interesting one.
On a common ground of jazz
improvisation, against a rhythmic
framework, each of the groups
presented will be able to offer
their own distinctive interpreta-
tion of the art.
The Clovers
Since Rhythm and Blues has
become so popular over the past
few years, the Houseparty Com-
mittee felt that something along
this line should be offered during
the weekend.
Fortunately for Williams The
Clovers is a very swinging vocal
six of nation-wide acclaim. With
Buddy Bailey as head tenor, this
group insists on teamwork not
only in their vocal arrangements,
bjt also in their showmanship.
It is sometimes difficult to pin
d wn that attribute which makes
a gro.ip of this sort stand head-
j. ;;.oiilders above any other.
To really appreciate their talent
one must try to feel it, see it, and
— most Important of all — hear it.
Unity and Drive
After catching their act a few
months ago, I was quite impress-
ed by the unity and characteris-
tic drive expressed by these Ne-
gro musicians. Their sound vocal
abilities are further enhanced by
the clownish sideplay and the bop-
dancing.
Electric guitar player Bill Har-
ris is perhaps the most interesting
component of the aggregation. A
fine rock-'n-RoIl guitarist, he is
definitely the coolest man since
the Ice Age.
Anyone who has heard The Clo-
ver.s sing their popular recordings
of "Love, Love, Love," "I Got My
MacPARTLAND
Fluid Expression
Eyes on You," or "Lovey Dovey,"
knows their vocal vitality.
Since 1950, when first organized,
these young singers have been
widely recognized as the greatest
Rhythm and Blues group this side
of the Pecos.
MacPartland
Jimmy MacPartland's Band,
featured for the second half of

Russell on clarinet and Bud Free-
man on tenor sax.
These musicians, along with a
few others, will undoubtedly be
introduced as a Dixieland band. It
is evident, however, that this is a
pick-up group, and will probably
sound as such. This cannot be
blamed on the caliber of the mu-
sicians themselves. They are, after
all, musical strangers.
Since Mr. MacPartland last re-
corded in 1956, and has been re-
cently involved with the acting
profession, it is extremely difficult
to tell how he will be playing on
Saturday night. If his horn is as
good now as it has been in the
past, however, Jimmy should be
entertaining.
Bix's Protegee
Although Mr. MacPartland is
over fifty years old, he still plays
with the conviction shown by the
young man he came East to re-
place in 1925 — Bix Beiderbecke.
Bix, the finest white Dixie triun-
peter of all time, has said of his
protege that, next to himself,
MacPartland is the greatest. Both

Frosh Architects Build
Gigantic "^"^King Winter
By Dave Maddox
A thirty foot monolith of gleaming snow rising from the ashes
of the Fall's football bonfires stands as a monument to the artistic
ability and perseverance of the Williams Man, mainly of the '61'
variety.
Responsible for the erection of the first "all-college" snow
statiie of such monumental stature are Tom Fox, chairman of the
Snow Committee, and Jack Foster, Publicity Chairman of the W.
O. C. The original design was a product of the imaginative artistry
of Larry "Picasso" Nilsen and is entitled, for those who couldnt
guess, King Winter.
Batman
One member of the Williamstown Street Crew, donator of
the snow, reported that as he was cleaning up "lichtey-split" on
Spring Street he scored a near miss on an allegedly "batman-like"
figure. The college ground crews with their power equipment were
of inestimable assistance to the mound-builders in their task of
piling the snow into one massive pyramid.
Further strategy for the construction was concocted in a
meeting of the members of the Snow Committee; Tom Fox, Bill
Reineke, Hugh Brigham, Larry Mahoney, Dick Dodds, and silent
partners Al Bogatey, and Jim Frick. Armed with ideas pilfered
from Dartmouth they forged ahead in fabricating the rough out-
line upon which the final outlines were moulded.
In pursuit of this task the twenty shovels that had been pur-
chased were reduced to nineteen, one having been buried in the
Gargantua's left shoulder. It is hoped that none of the students
missing since Mid Terms will be unearthed come Spring.
Etude en Neif^e
Due to the adversities of warm weather over the Mid Term
breather a frantic last minute rush was necessitated. At one stage
in its construction the statue was entitled Etude en Neige.
The central supporting telephone pole protruding from the
snowy pile inspired cosmopolitan wit Larry Mahoney to dub the
constniction "Whisker With Lather". Tlic final moulding of the
statue began with the stomach, leading one of the workers to quip
that man always thinks of his belly first.
a smooth, fluid expression of mu-
sical ideas.
Jimmy, happily, Is far from a
dyed-in-the-wool, two-beat Dixie-
lander. He swings. This musician
is not so helplessly bogged down
in the Dixieland one-step and New
Orleans Creole that he cannot ac-
cept a more contemporary ap-
proach to his music.
Because he has been willing to
accept change, MacPartland has
been a consistently good trumpet
player over the years. Do not ex-
pect typical prohibition-era mu-
sic. This is a man who has grown
up with his art.
Bud Fi-eeman, MacPartland's
most interesting sideman, is re-
garded the only significant saxo-
phone man in Dixieland today. He
has spent many years playing with
top Dixie groups throughout the
country.
8 Competitions Build Up Carnival
This is a story of eight contests and six winners.
According to calculations by the Class of 1960, sponsors of
the current festivity, 700 dates have been made by Williams men
for the weekend, establi.shing a new record.
Alpha Delta Phi reported 57 of 58 members planning to have
dates. Runners up in this competition included Chi Psi (46),
Beta Theta Pi (41) and Phi Gamma Delta (38). Closely following
this contest is the judging of fraternal snow sculpture in a com-
jjetition sponsored annually (in the event of snow) by the WiUiams
Outing Club.
Goaded by the soijhomores' offer of a free cocktail party for
the freshman entry with the largest percentage of dates. East Leh-
man won the high pressure race within the class of '61. Entry B of
Sage just missed the prize.
The most usual thing about the weekend, according to the
statisticians, is tliat more Smithies are around than anyone else.
Eighty of them. And then there are also lots of Mt. Holyoke girls,
Skidmore girls, Vassar girls, and Wellesley girls (in that order).
Due to an ill timed Non Resident Term, Bennington finished a
poor sixth.
A competition to see what social unit can sell the largest
number of advance tickets to Jimmy MacPartland's jazz was un-
decided at press time. Beta Theta Pi was unofficially in the lead
to win six bottles of domestic champagne offered.

Procter & Gamble has interesting
openings in its Advertising Depart-
ment for college-trained men. New
men will be assigned to small mar-
keting groups responsible for the ef-
fectiveness of all consumer advertis-
ing and promotion effort on an
important national product. Each
man receives careful on-the-job
training under experienced market-
ing men, and will be advanced in-
dividually—as rapidly as his ability
permits. The nature of the work is
business management rather than
creative advertising, and involves
working closely with many Com-
pany Departments and with our
Advertising Agencies.
The men we need must have a
genuine interest in business, and the
desire and ability to assume respon-
sibility quickly. They should have
the ability to work closely with
many types of people, and more
than their share of imagination, ag-
gressiveness and sound judgment.
However, because of our unique
training program, experience or col-

necessary.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1958
Tense Win By Capers
During Final Seconds
The Williams varsity basketball
team upset a favored Springfield
College club 57-56 last Tuesday
night at Lasell Gymnasium In one
of the most thrilling games of the
year. Jeff Morton paced the Ephs
with 30 points and his usual fine
all-around performance. It re-
mained, however, for two sopho-
mores to come off the bench to
win the game for Williams.
In the first half, the play was
sloppy. Springfield led 25-23. In
the second half, both the play
and the excitement picked up
considerably. Morton began to
score from every conceivable an-
gle as the lead changed hands in-
numerable times.
As the game began to draw to
a close, sophomores George Boyn-
ton and J. B. Morris entered the
lineup. Springfield took the lead
54-53 with about two minutes re-
maining; Boynton was then fouled
and under extreme pressure, coolly
walked to the line and sank two
free throws as the large partisan
crowd went wild. The score now
read Williams 55, Springfield 54.
The Maroons then lost the ball,
and with a minute and 23 seconds
left to play, Williams employed a
JEFF MORTON, erame captain
freeze, waiting for the sure shot.
A pass, however, went astray, and
Springfield surged ahead 56-55 on
a one hander with 14 seconds left.
Now, it was Morris' turn; J. B.,
bringing the ball up, was fouled by
Sullivan. He calmly converted his
two free throws thus giving Wil-
liams its 57-56 victory.
Sextet Wins 6-1;
Burgert Shatters
First Period Tie
The varsity hockey team, notch-
ed their fifth victory Wednesday
night by a 6-1 score over the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts on Am-
herst's dimly lit Orr rink. Wil-
liams dominated the play in the
first and third period but was
constantly denied by the sharp
goaltending of Joe DeMasselis.
The Redmen were practically
helpless in the opening minutes
of the contest and were unable to
put together a real scoring threat
until midway in the period. Wil-
li.^ms failed to capitalize until
15:55 of the first period when Tom
Piper stepped in from the point
and hit the far corner with a low
slapshot. The equalizer came three
minutes later on a backhand by
Pozzo, U. Mass. right wing, and
the period ended a 1-1 tie.
Woody Burgert opened the scor-
ing in the second frame by knock-
ing in a rebound to give the Eph-
men the winning margin. At the
thirteen minute mark Jim PMsher
netted one to increase the lead
to 3-2 as Williams showed increas-
ing poise on their scoring oppor-
tunities.
Three goals in the third period
put the score up to 6-1. Mike

Frosh Suffer Defeat
Scoring forty-six points in the
second half, the Springfield fresh-
man basketball team defeated the
Eph frosh 82-69 at Lasell gymna-
sium Tuesday night.
Driving and fast-breaking well,
the Maroon yearlings increased a
slim 36-36 lead at the half to a
twelve point bulge at the three
quarter mark. Hitting on shots
from all over the court, the
Springfield mai'ksmen posted an
amazing 62 per cent shooting av-
erage in the second half.
Merton of Springfield was high
scorer with 22. The Williams squad
was led by Weaver with 18. Guz-
etti and Schriber had 15 points
each.
Eph Ski Coach Hurt;
Brother Takes Team
Going against the toughest com-
petition of the season, the Wil-
liams ski team will be without the
services of their coach Ralph
Townsend. Coach Townsend suf-
fered a torn achilles tendon In an
accident on the Dartmouth down-
hill course last Saturday.
The injury will keep Townsend
completely inactive for 10 to 14
days. Complete recovery is pre-
dicted but coaching activities will
be greatly curtailed.
Dartmouth Offers Help
Tuesday of this week, Mr. Prank
Thoms, Director of Athletics re-
ceived a telegram from Rand Doc,
president of the Dartmouth Out-
ing club, offering "specialized per-
sonnel and equipment as aids to
Its friend Ralph Townsend . . ."
Mr. Thoms and Mr. Townsend
both expressed their sincere ap-
preciation for the gesture.
During the Carnival, and it Is
hoped through the Middlebury
meet. Coach Townsend's older
brother Paul will take the team.
Both brothers were on the 1950
United States World Champion-
ship Team.

Tomorrow, the East's finest ski-
ers will be shooting down the fa-
mous Thunderbolt Trail on Mt.
Greylock under ideal conditions.
Packing has been proceeding well
all week and the trail was in top
shape as the Ephmen started to
warm up Thursday.
The downhill record for the cui'-
rent Thunderbolt course was set
at last year's Carnival by Chic
Igaya of Dartmouth at 01:14.6.
Better conditions will prevail this
year and the time may be lowered.
Three outstanding downhill men
will take a crack at beating Iga-
ya's record. They are: Gary
Vaughn of Norwich, Dave Har-
wood of Dartmouth, and his class-
mate Bill Smith.
This year's Winter Carnival has
been picked as one of the top ski
meets of the season. Competing
in the Williams Carnival will be
teams from Dartmouth, Harvard,
Yale, Middlebury, St. Lawrence,
Un. of Vermont, Un. of New
Hampshire, and Norwich. Middle-
bury did not compete in the Dart-
mouth Carnival and is picked as
second favorite behind Dartmouth.
Also contending for top places
will be Norwich, and Williams.
Jumping Improved
Eph scoring hopes rest on the
shoulders of its co-captains Jim
Becket and Chip Wright. They
will head both the downhill and
slalom teams for Williams backed
up by sophomore Bill Judson and
junior George Fisher. Williams is
weakest in the jumping but the
steady improvement of Bill
Booth, the only veteran, and Cliff
Colwell should give the team a
better placing than in the Dart-
mouth meet.
For interested spectators, the
most ideal spot for both the down-
hill and slalom is "Hell Dive",
halfway up the 1.35 mile Thun-
derbolt trail. Cross-country will be
held at Savoy State Forest Sun-
day morning. Jumping will be at
Goodell Hollow Sunday afternoon.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1958
Freshman Swimmers
Top Hotchkiss Team
In a meet that saw five records
shattered, the Williams freshman
swimming team defeated Hotch-
kiss School 45-41 Tuesday In La-
sell Pool.
This victory, only two points
short of the total run up by the
Yale Frosh in defeating Hotch-
kiss, establishes the Eph yearlings
as one of the best teams in the
nation.
Prior to the Williams meet, the
Hotchkiss team, a powerhouse a-
mong the nation's prep school
teams, had lost only to the Yale
frosh team, but not before scaring
the Elis.
Co-Captains Score
Leading the scoring parade for
Williams were co-captains Buck
Robinson, Neil Devaney, and Ter-
ry Allen, as each set a new fresh-
man record in his event. Robin-
son posted a time of 1;10,4 in the
100-yd. breaststroke, naiTowly
nipping Bruce Harper of Williams
at the finish. Devaney shaved a
full second off the old record in
winning the 100-yd. butterfly in
the time of 1:01,4, and Allen
turned in the record time of 1:39,
9 in the 150-yd. individual medley.
Devaney and Robinson teamed
with Jim Urbach and Sam Bober-
son in winning the 200-yd. medley
relay in the record time of 1:40,9.
The 100-yd. freestyle was one of
the most exciting events of the
meet as Mike Dively of Williams
pushed Hotchkiss' Bob McMaster
to set a new prep record of 54,4.
Fire
Cross assistants and relief work-
ers gave aid and comfort to the
homeless who had to escape scant-
ily dressed into 10 degree weather.
Two Casualties
One of the victims, Delores
Grey, 4, was trapped in the flam-
ing building while her brother,
David, 8, died as result of injuries
suffered from a leap from the top
story. Thirteen other members of
the Grey family including father
and mother escaped without in-
juries as did 4 other families.
I'he red-brick structure located
at River and Veazie Streets was
itrmed a total loss. Because of the
possibility of the shaky west wall

Flames Uncontrollable
After the second floor Ignition,

flames spread beyond Initial con-
trol and with the side entrance

Indignation ran high when the
British declared the entire North
Sea a battle area because it was
a restriction of the neutral trade
of the U. S. As a reprisal for this
illegal (in international law) ac-
tion, the Germans declared an
equally illegal blockade of the Bri-
tish isles. The US, he said, com-
mitted legal crimes of equal mag-
nitude when it had become offi-
cially a belligerent. He therefore
held that the "moral" indignation
in this country was the result of
the "God given right of neutrals
to make money from somebody
else's bloodshed."
He raised the question, "Can we
live with a long atomic stale-
mate?" in the light of the sub-
marine problem. He called the US
a "very tempestuous" nation.
"When we have a problem, we
want to get it over with."
Wilson's leadership at Versailles
was called one of the most un-
usual events in history because "it
was the one thing Britain and
France didn't want." However, he
stated that peace was not the re-
sult of the 14 points minus one
plus a definition of reparations.
It was the result of our efforts
toward Bulgaria's defection from
Germany which lost the alliance
its oil wells and the psychological
effect of the German's loss of the
offensive.

PRICE TEN CENTS
Faculty To Spoof
Eggheads^ Sputnik
The keynotes of the Faculty Re- the World War I era, when It was
vue, opening Thursday for a three-
day run at the AMT, will be hu-
mor and variety.
The production, under the di-
rection of William Martin, will in-
clude a boudoir scene from a play
by Shaw, Stravinsky's "Soldier's
Tale," and a faculty-written spoof
on the intellectual in the Missile
Age.
The last part of the show will,
according to Martin, be "the story
of the egghead, before and after
Sputnik." The leading role of Pro-
fessor Nemo will be played by Eng-
lish Professor Donald Gifford. A-
mong the stage effects will be the
launching of a rocket.
Several satirical songs will be
sung — and danced — by the fac-
ulty. The show makes fun of prac-
tically everything, including ad-
vertisnig, education, sedatives,
Williams, and the "beat genera-
tion."
Soldier's Tale
Tlie parts in Stravinsky's "Sol-
dirr's Tale" will be taken by Dean
of Freshmen William Cole, David
Boulton of the English Depart-
ment, and Wilkin Thomas '58.
The work, according to Thomas
Griswold — who will conduct the
music — is one of the most import-
ant works of this century. It is a
Faustian legend which reflects the
bitter deterministic attitudes of

The opening part of the Faculty

Gifford will fill the leading roles.

Minor Accidents
Dampen Weekend
Houseparty Weekend did not go
without a compliment of accidents
caused largely by an unexpected
blizzard. With Williams students
experiencing a variety of trans-
portation difficulties, no serious
accidents had been reported as of
Monday afternoon.
The most extensive damage re-
ported occurred when Bruce J.
McEldowney '59, hit a lumber
truck Friday afternoon on Route
116 near Cheshire. He and the
six dates with him were released
from Plunket Memorial Hospital
in Adams with minor Injuries.
James K. Snow struck a tele-
phone pole in Pittsfield Friday
night with four Simmons girls a-
board. They were treated for
bruises and cuts at the Pittsfield
General Hospital.
John Searles '60, ran Into a
parked car by the Colonial Shop-
ping Center. The parked automo-
bile was owned by Bob R. Holdren,
Assistant Professor of Economics.
William Collins collided with

day.
Lewis Terrell skidded on the Ta-
conic Trail Friday. He and pas-
senger Robert Greenspan were un-
injured.
Earl H. Anderson hit another
car in front of the Zeta Psi house
on the comer of Main and South

Many misfortunes were caused
by adverse weather conditions, and
cars left stuck on the roads were
a common hazard. The totals were

THE SNOW KING
last laug^h
photo by Bradford
"King Winter^^ Accused
Of Conjuring Blizzard
By Mack Hassler
Executive Managing Editor
King Winter imposed a bitter reign on Winter Carnival 1958.
With his saucy head raised to the sky, one would almost think
this jolly giant possessed supernatural powers, for the snow he
conjured upon Williamstown was the biggest news of last week-
end's houseparty. When it began sifting down Friday afternoon,
the skiers were talking of six inches. When Les Elgart still had not
arrived at midnight, nearly a foot had fallen on and around
laughing King Winter.
Timing was perfect, and it was a similar story for everyone
trying to get into Williamstown. Elgart hitch-hiked from Peters-
burg after his 1958 station wagon had skidded into a snow laank.
One freshman, after making the almost five hour trip over to Al-
bany to meet his girl, who was flying in, found that the plane
had gone on to Boston. She caught a bus to Williamstown in
time to say goodbye.
"But can t/ou get out again"
The Record reporter who wrote this caption under a snow pic-
ture in the last issue was prophetic for the smothering conditions
lasted through leaving time. Not only were couples unable to get
to the ski events, but one student spent foiu' hours Sunday after-
noon digging his girls car out of the drifts of West College park-
ing lot.
There were warm spots in the weekend, though, such as Ca-
rol Starke, sophomore at Wheelock College, who was crowned
Carnival Queen Saturday evening. At least .slie presented a less
formidable and ominous aspect than King Winter.
X-Rule' Takes Toll
32 Men Leave School
After First Semester
Dean Barnett has disclosed that
a total of 32 men, or 3 per cent of
the college, have dropped out or
been dismissed from College after
the first semester.
In an Interview held on Feb. 4,
the Dean pointed out that 12 men
were dismissed specifically for ac-
ademic deficiency, and of the re-
maining 20 men, "a large percent-
age" only avoided this same fate
by dropping out on their own ac-
cord before the end of the semes-
ter.
At this time last year while 27
men had dropped out, only three
had been dismissed, indicating a
40 per cent increase for 1957-58.
Questioned to the possible cause
of this considerable jump, Dean
Barnett stated: "A good share of
this increase is due to a general
tightening of academic standards,
of which process the three C rule
is the most prominent aspect."
This rule proved to be the un-
doing of five sophomores alone,
taking a smaller toll among the
upper two classes.

while the freshmen will select one College Council representative,
the sophomores two and the juniors three. All tlie underclass of-
ficers, plus two seniors, will form the 1958 College Council.
Preferential Balloting:
Despite a recent move in the CC
to change the election procedure,
the old method of preferential
voting will be used.
Nominations were made by pe-
titions, which were due at mid-
night Tuesday night. Each candi-
date is automatically running for
the presidency, while the "losers"
with the largest vote totals will
become the secondary officers.
College Council Election Com-
mittee chairman, Ted Wynne '58,
observed that 100 per cent of last
year's freshmen cast their votes,
while around 70 per cent of the
sophomores and juniors usually
complete their ballots. He was hes-
itant to predict this year's turnout.
Nilsen Comments
Retiring CC president, Larry
Nilsen '58, made this statement to
the RECORD Sunday night. "In
view of the criticism this past
term that the College Council is
not representative, I would urge
everyone to vote this Thursday.
Only by having everyone take part
in the voting can we have a rep-
resentative College Council."
Nilsen also stressed that College
Council members should not be
selected on a popularity basis. He
urged everyone to give serious con-
sideration to all the candidates.
Results of the election are ex-
pected to be available by late
Thursday night.
Few Petitions
As of Sunday night, the num-
ber of circulating nominating pe-
titions was below that of recent
years. The number was expected to
increase considerably by Thm-s-
day, however.
Burns Considers
Seeking Election
Professor James M. Burns,
chairman of the Political Science
Department, will run for Congress
next fall, according to a Boston
newspaper.
Professor Burns said that al-
though he has not finally decided,
he is "considering" seeking elec-
tion.
Democrat Burns is reported to
have strong backing from Mas-
sachusetts Democratic leader's. A-
mong his past political activity art
stints as a delegate to the National
Democratic Conventions in 1952
and 1956.
The First Congressional District,
where Burns will enter the race,
has not had a Democratic Con-
gressman for 66 years. If he runs.
Burns will oppose Republican
John W. Heselton who has held
a seat in Congress since 1944 and
is expected to run for another
term.
Professor Burns is presently giv-
ing a series of lectures concerning
"Russia and the American Fu-
ture", based on his trip to the
USSR last year.
Alumni To Attend
Winter Reunion
Midwinter Homecoming, the an-
nual reunion of Williams alumni,
will be held this coming weekend.
Charles B. Hall, Alumni Secretary,
is directing the activities.
The agenda includes a discussion
entitled "American Destiny: Sec-
ond Rate Power?". The panel will
be moderated by Alfred E. Dris-
coU '25. former governor of New
Jersey, and consists of Vincent
M. Barnett, Emile Despres, Char-
les R. Keller, and David A. Park.
A small Jazz concert, a faculty
party, fraternity dinners and
meetings, an alumni-parent and
son lunch, and the dedication of
the Charles Caldwell Memorial
and Ken Reynold's portrait will
complete the official program.
Although attendance at the
Winter Homecoming has seen a
steady decline during past years,
Mr. Hall hopes that the 1958 cal-
endar of events will make this
weekend a well attended one.
All-College Musical
Scheduled For May
Robert Vail '58, will write this
year's All-College Musical which
will be produced in May.
Returning this year to take
charge of the musical end of the
program will be Otto Frohlich of
Miami University. Mr. Fi'ohlich
will conduct, orchestrate and ar-
range the music.
This year's production will be
administered like a Broadway mu-
sical. There will be a choreograph-
er, a director of lines, and a musi-
cal director.
Acting as overall director will
be Peter Culman '59. William Mar-
tin of the drama department will
advise in an unofficial capacity.
Singers Elect Brown
Donald W. Brown '59. has
been elected president of the
Williams College Glee Club. The
other new '58 officers are Man-
ager Bradford Smith and as-
sociated managers Newell Bi-
shop '60, William Dolg '60 and
Dennis Mitchell '60.

CC: RETROSPECT
AND PROSPECT
The outgoing College Council leaves behind
a record of accoinplisluneiit— rare for student
goveniment at Williams.
Under its direction thorough and valuable
investigations iiave been made of discrimina-
tion ill fraternities and of tlie financing of extra-
curricular activities. A ]ilaii was tested for tlie
typing of final e.xanis and a coininittee was set
up to study the lirolilein ol compulsory chapel.
Two Fiascos
Tliis CC will be remembered, however, for
two fiascos.
During the fall term it called a compulsory
all-college meeting and installed FM radio sets
in every fraternity dining room for the broad-
casting of announcements at noon.
The |5ur|50se of these two moves was "the
improvement of college communications" which
Gargoyle had called necessary. Without investi-
gating the problem of communications at Wil-
liams the Council j^assed the Gargoyle recom-
mendations too hastily.
The all-college meeting, disrupted by a
bomb scare, made the CC look ridiculous. And
the FM radios, ]3aid for by an all-student tax,
fell quickly into disuse.
These moves were not made because CC
members were acutely concerned with communi-
cations. They saw a chance to bring their or-
ganization before the ]3ublic at a Chaj^in Hall
meeting and at every lunch table.
Not Power Hungni
They were not "power hungry". They had
read the first articles of their constitution— the
vague and high-sounding statement of their aims.
The purpose of the CC, say the articles, is
"to ]3romote the ideals of the college." It will be
a "controlling and directing force." It will develop
among students a "sense of i^ersonal res]jonsibili-
ty for their own conduct."
When they acted on the Gargoyle commun-
ications proposals, the Council members were
sincerely trying to fulfill the spirit of tliese ideal-
istic aims. They wanted to evoke respect and in-
terest among the students for student govern-
ment.
But they acted too self-consciously. Tlie com-
plications of the communications problem were
hidden from them, because they were not look-
ing in that direction. They were looking instead
at the problem of their own postion on campus.
As a result theh "solution" of the communi-
cations problem was wholly inadequate. Instead
of enliancing their prestige when the FM re-
ceivers were moved out of the dining rooms and
when the policeman announced to a laughing
crowd that he had received a rejiort of a bomb
planted in Cliapin Hall, Uiey lowered it consid-
erably.
Superb Work
When the Council has acted witliout tliis
self-rnnsciousness, it has clone superb work.
Dave Phillips' report on discrimination was
called a "masterpiece of sociological research."
It has led to trustee action aimecl at erasing the
problem of racial and religious discrimination
from the Williams social system.
The report on extra-curricular finances, al-
though not under direct CC administration, was
discussed at length by Council members. Pro-
l^osals from the rejjort were adopted and effected
by the Council. The result will be less financial
irresponsibility in college organizations.
A/o Interest?
These reports represent the kind of valuable
work the Council can do. It is true diat students
interested enough in studtMit government to do
the amount of work such a report requires are
rare. Too often Council rej^orts are like the re-
cent investigation of houseparties: sloppy, su-
perficial, and of little value.
Yet interest cannot be generated by clumsy,
self-conscious efforts to make tire Council more
'ie]iri'sentative."
We ho|5e that the Council to be elected
1 lunsdav will see this. If they can produce more
|)eiietiatiiig studies of |5roblems at Williams, they
will gain more genuine respect and interest from
the students. If they worry too much about their
own |)osition on campus, tliey will take steps
which will lead to ridicule.
Not "Controlling Force"
The place of student government at Wil-
liams can not be that of a "contiolling force."
Very few students at Williams wish to feel the
CC developing a "sense of personal responsibil-
ity" in their everyday lives.
The Council will never be "representative."
At election time ballots are cast for responsible,
public spirited, conservative men. Tlie students
do not ask to be reiMesented by the members
they elect. They ask merely not to be inished
into going to a meeting or payhig for an unused
radio so that the Council can increase its prestige.
The CC can do more for the students by
thorough investigations of student problems. The
Council will not become a second Gargoyle. Tlie
fact that it is poinilarly elected, that its meetings
are oiien, and that it is empowered to set up or-
ganization to put its proposals into effect, make
this impossible.
We hope that the incoming CC will accom-
plish more if it concentrates on what it is doing
and forgets about its own prestige.

Les Elgart, Entertaining Personality
Bi/ John Pliillips
Managing Editor
Success ill the entertainment world is typified by Les Elgarts'
rise to fame. His "dancing sound" has rocketed him to prominence,
but his unassuming manner inherited from humble origins has re-
mained intact.
Stranded in Williamstown when his car slid into a snowdrift
near Petersburg, New York, Friday evening, Elgart spent the
night in one of the fraternity houses on cam|ius, providing as
thoroughly enjoyable eiitertaimiient with his personality as he had
earlier accomplished with his musical artistry.
Faced with a breakfast menu of sausagi- and eggs Saturday
inoriiing, Elgart refused the eggs. He explained by relating the
story or his childhood jiet chicken "Peggv ' whose untimely demise
in the interests of a Sunday dinner had made him unable to sto-
mach either chicken or eggs evei- since.
"bubonic trail"
Elgart said that despite King Winter's efforts at derision his
reception at Williams was extremely gratifying. Asked about the
satisfaction he received from iiis business, he said that his greatest
enjoyment stemmed from jilaying for college dances because
"young people are more apiireciative of the sounds we try to
create. '
After playing for three months in the Cafe Rouge at New
York's Statler Hotel, Elgart said he was iiajiiiy to be on the road
again, although the wintry difficulties of liis lirst road appearance
in Williamstown (due to the treacherous obstacles of the "bubonic
trail"), had caused a certain loss of exuberance.
With the aid of a few Williams' students, Elgart and two of
his musical cohorts wheeled their car out of its drifted berth Sat-
urday morning and set out for anoUier dance appearance at Syra-
cuse that night. Their six-car caravan moved slowly back to Man-
hattan Sunday, planning one more New England stop before an
extensive soutliern tour beginning this week in Augusta, Georgia.
Arriving at his car Saturday morning, Elgart cracked through
its icy casing and openetl the door. Sticking his head inside, he
joked characteristically: "You see, honey, 1 told you we'd be back".

New Honor Code
After several unsuccessful at-
tempts the Amherst student body
is making rapid strides towards
establishing an honor system.
The honor code, a 67 year-old
tradition at Williams, will be sub-
mitted for approval to the class of
1962 during freshman orientation
next fall. If next year's freshman
class adopts the system, it will
be subject to essentially the same
code of honor which exists for the
Williams student.
Subsequent Classes to Approve
The system will then be submit-
ted to subsequent classes, and, if
adopted by all, Amherst will be
totally under the honor system in
four years. The present freshman,
sophomore and junior classes may
also adopt the code if they wish.
Two systems are currently under
study. Under the first, any stu-
dent observing academic dishon-
esty would warn the offending
student and after observing a sec-
ond offense, would either ask the
offender to turn himself in or re-
port him to the honor board.
Under the provisions of the sec-
ond system, the preliminary warn-
ing would be eliminated.
Tlie Amherst honor code will
refer only to academic matters as
does the Williams system.

a sign on tlie College Restaurant since September 14. With the

Train Service Halted
From Here To Troy
All train service between Wil-
liamstown and Ti'oy, N. Y. lias
been discontinued by the Boston
and Maine Railroad.
George B. Hill, B & M vice-pre-
sident revealed that the recent de-
cision was made because of a
constant loss of money on that
stretch in past months. Thus,
Williamstown is now the western
terminal for the B & M run from
Boston.
Mall service between North Ad-
ams and Albany is now in the care
of a star truck route operating on
a two-trip per day schedule. Pre-
vailing rumors are presently cir-

field will soon become the end of
the line, cutting Williamstown off
from all train service.

year they haven't given the "un-
der new management" sign a sec-
ond glance.
But the sign, though not en-
hancing the restaurant's rather
shabby facade, carries a great sig-
nificance to any who should no-
tice and stop in to talk with the
new management, Harold Raith-
el. The sign is significant because
it indicates that not only is the
manager new, but more important
he is amiable and personable. Be-
cause Harold is endowed with
these two traits essential in at-
tracting the undergraduate trade
iD is a sure bet that the College
Restaurant will rise out of the
abyss to which it sank last year.
Though Harold is the manager,
the College Restaurant is in reali-
ty a family business. Harold's
parents were forced to evacuate
an enterprising restaurant busi-
ness in North Adams to make way
for a State highway. They were
given the opportunity to buy the
College Re.staurant business short-
ly thereafter.
Since the restaurant is too large
for two elderly people to manage
alone, they invited Harold to buy
in with them. Though he was liv-
ing comfortably in Boston working
in the Sunbeam appliance service
center and attending night school
at MIT, Harold willingly com-
plied.
Armed with no business experi-
ence and with only a little cook-
ing know-how gained in the mili-
tary I he served from 1944 to 1953
in the marines, army and air
force) but heavily loaded with af-
fability, Harold began the up-hill
battle to put the College Restau-
rant on its feet.
Harold, in addition to being an
investor, is an inventor of sorts.
A Kraft cheese package, a Gen-
eral Electric reciprocating turbine
engine, and a projected General
Motors free piston engine are all
in some way products of his Im-
aginative mind.
Harold's nack for Innovation has
carried over into his business. A
new, efficient catering sei'vice has
strengthened his position consid-
erably. When business has finally
picked up to the extent where he
can make improvements, Harold
voiced the desire to make his place
into a first class restaurant. Ma-
jor changes will be made, includ-
ing a replacement of the shabby
facade of which Harold is asham-
ed.
Even today the College Restau-
rant is not exactly the same place
it was when Harold took over. In
addition to the new catering ser-
vice the interior has been cleaned
up and repainted in necessary
places. But most important, of all,
the place has a new character, a
new livliness due to Harold's
willingness to serve the students
of Williams College.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1958
Middlebury Wins Title;
Top Ski Award To Smith
By Toby Smith
Top performances in the jump-
ing and cross-country events.
Sunday, enabled Mlddlebui-y Col-
lege to overcome Dartmouth's ear-
ly carnival lead and replace the
Indians as team champions of the
Williams meet. The Panthers fin-
ished the snow-swept competition
with a total point score of 578.13.
Runner-up Dartmouth, leading by
2.65 points Saturday, ended with
566.16.
Dartmouth won only two of the
six events but their captain. Bill
Smith was chosen skimeister, be-
ing the outstanding overall per-
former of the Carnival. Prank
Hurt of Middlebury would have
been the winner of the honor had
he entered the jumping, as he
placed 3rd, 4th and third in the
first three events.
Williams Fifth
The Williams ski team, led by
George Fisher, placed fifth be-
hind Vermont. Only two points
separated the two teams and the
difference was, as before, in the
jumping. Depth enabled Vermont
to pick up four points in the Nor-
dic Combined event even though
the teams were fairly even up to
that point.
Less than one point separated
the Ephmen from Vermont in all
fojr main events, but since each
team puts in skiers specifically
for scoring in the Alpine and Nor-
dic Combined totals, Williams
found the weaker position.
Vaughn Sets Record
In the Downhill event, the first
ten finishers broke Chic Igaya's
1957 Thunderbolt Trail record. Bob
Gebhardt of Dartmouth was first
with 1:11.0 followed closely by
Gary Vaughn of Norwich with
1:11.8. Fisher of Williams was al-
so under the old record of 1:14.6
with 1:14.4. Co-captain Becket
tied the record in tenth place.

Williams Takes 5th;
Downhill Improved
On the basis of their perform-
ance in the Dartmouth Winter
Carnival, Williams remained about
the same in Eastern team stand-
ings. At Hanover the Ephmen
placed fourth behind the host
team, St. Lawrence and Norwich
in that order.
At the close of the two day meet
in WUliamstown, the Ephmen a-
gain found Dartmouth and St.
Lawrence in front of them but al-
so Middlebury and Vermont. Nor-
wich dropped to a surprising
eighth place in the standings
while Vermont moved up from a
sixth in the Dartmouth Carnival.
The Williams total point score
of 510.30 is down from their pre-
vious total of 513.40 at Dart-
mouth. The Indians also are down
from a 584.6 at their own carnival
to a 566.16 score at Williams.

Skiers Travel To
Middlebury Event
After recovering from the more
than adequate snow conditions in
WUliamstown this weekend, the
Williams ski team will embark on
their third consecutive Winter
Carnival excursion. This time the
scene will be the co-ed paradise
of Middlebury, Vermont.
The same approximate ski ag-
gregation will be present for the
three day series of events as par-
ticipated in the Williams compe-
tition. Particular importance is at-
tached to this meeting since a
finish among the top five team.s
would secure Williams an invita-
tion to the National intercolle-
giate championships to be held at
Dartmouth this year.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1958
Eph Quintet Wins One, Loses One;
Morton Paces Attack With 11 And 11
Jeff Morton poured in twenty-
two points Saturday afternoon,
before a partisan houseparty
crowd, to lead the fast-breaking
Ephmen to a 74-48 victory over a
poorly-conditioned W. P. I. team.
Bob Parker stood out defensive-
ly for the Purple, holding W. P. I.'s
leading scorer, Dipipio, to two bas-
kets. Bill Hedeman and Jeff Mor-
ton also excelled on defense, lead-
ing both .squads in rebounding.
The salient feature of the con-
test was the Williams' fast break,
which was led very successfully by
Pete Willmott and J. B. Morris.
Lose to Siena
In Thursday's game a strong
Siena five hit exceptionally well
against the Williams' zone de-
fense. But it was not until the
final ten minutes that Siena ran
away with a 71-50 victory. The
Ephmen fell hopeles.sly behind
when Siena broke through their
all-couit press.
Again leading the attack was
Jeff Morton with seventeen points.
Morton was the only man in dou-
ble figures for tlie Ephs, Siena,
however, had three men with over
ten points.
In a pre-llm contest the Eph
yearlings were paced by Bob
Montgomery's twenty-two points.
They beat the visiting Siena
freshmen soundly by the score of
81-55.
Toby Schreiber and Lou Guzzetti
chipped in with eighteen and ten
points respectively.
Middies Take Squash
After the mid-semester break,
the Williams squash team lost a
tough 5-4 match on Saturday to
Navy at Cambridge. The Ephs now
have a record of 3-2, having pre-
viously defeated Trinity, Army,
and M. I. T. while losing to Har-
vard and Navy.
Williams' top man, OUie Staf-
ford, currently number two in the
country, lost 18-17, 18-16, 15-7 to
Navy's Griffiths. The toughest
match of all for the team to lose
was the number two singles. Here
Greg Tobin lost a 5-set match to
Lowry by one point. Although this
match was not considered to be
decisive, the 10-15, 15-12, 15-11,
5-15, 16-15 Navy win turned out
to be the crucial one.

Amherst Takes 2-1
Decision From Sextet
A large Carnival crowd saw the
varsity hockey team drop a 2-1
decision to Amherst on the Wil-
liams rink Saturday afternoon.
Play was hampered by the heavy
snowfall but Williams manged to
dominate the rough game, keep-
ing the puck in the Amherst zone
most of the time.
Amherst opened the scoring at
19:28 of the first period when
sophomore center Bruce Hutchin-
son beat Denny Doyle with a shot
angled into the upper right hand
corner from twenty feet out.
Williams bounced back on Tom
Piper's slaiJshot at 7:59 of the sec-
ond period. Amherst scored the
winning goal at 14:25 of the same
period, when David Shactman
fired past Doyle.
Throughout the game Williams
had numerous scoring chances
which were constantly thwarted
by the great play of Bob Brown in
the Amherst nets.
With about a minute to play,
Eph Coach Bill McCormick pulled
Doyle from the cage and skated
six forwards, but to no avail, as
the jubilant Jeffs skated off with
the victoi-y.
The Jeffs will meet Williams a-
gain on Amherst's Orr Rink March
1.
Harvard
February 12, Williams will face
Harvard, one of the East's strong-
est teams at Watson Rink In Cam-
bridge. Harvard scored 4 goals in
the last period to beat the Ephs
7-2 last year in Williamstown.
The Purple's job will be to contain
Harvard's high-scoring captain,
Bob Cleary.

Relay Team Halted
As Fox Pulls Muscle
The Williams mile relay team
was unable to finish its heat in
the Melrose Games, held in New
York's Madison Square Garden
last Saturday, when ace anchor
man Bill Pox pulled a muscle at
the start of his quarter. At the
time, Williams was in third place,
following George Sudduth's 49.3
quarter. John Schimmel led off,
and Tony Harwood ran the sec-
ond leg.
Continued on Page 6, Col. 1
Winning seven out of eight
matches, the varsity wrestling
team scored an impressive 27-3
win over the Coast Guard Acade-
my Pi'iday.
Captain Jim Hutchinson, Wally
Matt and Stu Smith were out-
standing for William.s. In perhaps
ihu best wrestled match of the
meet, Hutchinson overcame the
Coast Guard captain. Bob Im-
brie, in the 147 pound class. Hut-
chinson scored two points in the
second period and added one more
in a final time advantage.
Matt pinned Ted Leigh in the
l2:i pound class with a half-nel-
.'ion in the second period. 130
liound Stu Smith also triumphed
with a pin by a half-nelson, his
pin coming in the first period.
In the 137 pound class Kuhrt
Wienecke outfought George Mit-
chell while Steve Lewis won his
157 pound match when his oppo-
nent defaulted. Pete Carney at
167 was outpointed by a superbly
conditioned Fritz MaLser. Racking
up eleven points in the first two
periods, Dave Moore went on to a
romping 12-3 victory in his 177 lb.
match. Denny Fuller outpointed
his opponent in the unlimited class
match.
Coach Jim Ostendarp's grap-
plers now have a 2-1 record, hav-
ing defeated Tufts and lost to
Springfield. The one sided vic-
tory over Coast Guard ranks Wil-
liams among the top four small
college wrestling teams.

Frosh Hockey Wins
The Williams Freshman hockej
team came from behind to score
three goals in the final two peri-
ods and beat Deerfield Academy
8-1 in a home game last Thursday.
Center Larry Hawkins scored on a
solo in the second period to tie up
the contest, and goals by George
Lowe and Nick Ohly in the final
frame provided the margin of vic-
tory.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1958
Frosh Swimmers Risk
Record Against Green
This afternoon's freshman swim-
ming contest in Lasell Pool a-
gainst powerful Deerfield will
mark the high point In the team's
so-far undefeated season.
This year's squad, termed one of
the smallest but best frosh aggre-
gations Coach Bob Mulr has ever
had at Williams, will have a tough
battle to keep its record Intact as
it faces a team which no Eph
frosh squad has defeated since
1953.
Three captains, all on prep or
high school All-America listings,
lead the team. Buck Robinson,
who holds the college record in
the 200 breaststroke; Terry Allen,
who is edging very close to the
freshman 200 yard freestyle rec-
ord; and Nell Devaney, who holds
the freshman 100 butterfly record
will attempt to exhibit enough
power to help keep Williams in the
running today.
Diver Bob Reeves, much improv-
ed over earlier performances, will
try to upset Deerfield's men In his
event. Sprinters Mike Dlvely and
Sam Roberson will probably be
aiming at the Green's crack swim-
mers.
Jim Urbach and Tom Williams
will have formidable opposition in
the 100 yard backstroke, while the
individual medley — not a regular
frosh event — Is not yet assigned.
The meet will undoubtedly
hinge on the final relays where
both teams excel.
Three teams have fallen to the
frosh so far— R. P. I. Frosh, Al-
bany Academy, and Hotchklss —
and the two remaining meets a-
galnst Wesleyan and Amherst
seem certain wins in the quest for
another Little Three crown.

St. John's won the race in 3:23.4
followed by St. Joseph's, Boston

should have time to recuperate, as
the Purple have no races for three
weeks.
Saturday afternoon, Williams
runners participated in the AAU
individual events, not actually a
part of the Melrose Games.
Mac Hassler won his qualifying
heat in the 280 yard dash, and
placed fourth in the finals. Buzz
Morss ran the mile, Tom Kellogg
ran the 1000, and Walt Henrlon
competed in the 60 yard dash

was the biggest contributor with $13,164 to the drive which had
a goal of $225,000. This year's drive tops the 1956 drive by
$6,iS71 with no organized solicitation of parents unlike pre-
vious years.

of the student body, and the Dean
warned that the persistence of
such poor work may lead to the
warning by the Committee on Ac-
ademic Standing of certain men
whose records, though passing the
required minimum, are considered
by the Committee to be unsatis-
factory.
If, after warning, improvement
Is still not forthcoming the Dean
pointed out that the Committee is
empowered, at Its discretion to
disml.ss men "after it has become
evident that they are either unable
or unwilling to maintain reason-
able standards of achievement."
Although final statistics are not
available on all of last semester's
marks, records indicate a total of
95 E's awarded, 47 going to the
frosh, 26 to the sophomores, 14 to
the juniors, and 5 to the senior

John Lawlor, B.S. in E.E., Brown, '52, answers some questions about
An engineering career witli the Bell Telephone Companies
John Lawlor is a Transmission Engineer with New
England Telephone an<l Telegraph Company in
Boston. His answers reflect his experiences during
five years in the telephone Inisinesa.
Q
A
How did you begin as an engineer
in the Bell Telephone Companies?
My first fifteen months were spent in "on-the-
job" training— changing assignments every three
months or so. Tliese assignments gave me a
broad, over-all background in telephone engi-
neering. And they were accompanied by plenty
of responsibility. They progressed in importance
with my ability to handle them.
What is the attitude of older engineers
and supervisors toward young men?
I've found a strong team spirit in the telephone
company. You're encouraged to contribute your
ideas, and they're received with an o|)en mind.
Young men and new ideas are regarded as vital
to the continuing growth of the company.
M How about opportunities for advancement?
I'd say ihcy dejicnd on the man. Opportunities
to demonstrate your ability come with each new

job you're given. The size and importance of
your assigimients grow with your ability to handle
them. All promotions are made from within, and
the growth of the business is creating new open-
ings all the time. One more thing. Most tele-
phone engineering locations are convenient to
colleges. You can aid your advancement by keep-
ing on with your studies.
How does the telephone company
stack up where pay is concerned?
Starting salaries are competitive with those of-
fered by most large companies. Raises arc based
on merit, with several increases during your first
two years with the company. What's more, your
performance is reviewed regularly to make sure
that your pay keeps up with your progress. All
things considered, I think a Bell Telephone career
is second to none in rewards and opportunities.

Ex-Governor Driscoll
Heads Williams Panel
Alfred E. Driscoll, moderator of a faculty panel which dis-
cussed the role of the U. S. as a world power this morning
as a feature of Midwinter .Munini Ilomeconiing, is a noted law-
yer, jjoliticiaM, and business executive.
At 44, lie was elected governor of New Jersey, a post which
he held until 1954. In his administration, Driscoll was noted for
scrupulous honesty and the abili- l
ty to lead his programs through
the legislature. He was instrumen-
tal in building the New Jersey
Turnpike giving his state the lar-
gest ratio of multi-lane highway
systems in the country. Under his
leadership, the state constitution
was extensively revised and im-
proved.
He is well-known as a propo-
nent of balanced budgets and
states' rights. He attacked the late
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.) vig-
orously. As an example of his lead-
ership, he exercised veto pov/er 54
times during his first years in of-
fice, none of which were reversed
by the .state legislature.
Honors
Driscoll has received 18 honor-
ary degrees (notably: Princeton
LL.D 1947; Williams LL.D. 1948)
in addition to his A.B. here and
LL.B. at Harvard Law (1928). He
was chosen Williams Alumnus of
the Year at Midwinter Homecom-
ing 1950 and awarded the Roger-
son Cup for "outstanding merit in
service and loyalty to the College
and for distinction in the field of
endeavor." He was appointed a-
lumni trustee 1950-55 and became
a permanent trustee a year ago.
At the present time, Driscoll is
president and director of Warner-
Lambert Pharmaceutical Co. of
Morris Plains, New Jersey. In 1955,
he became president of Warner-
Hudnut Pharmaceutical Co. of
New York which later merged with
the Lambert Co.
Between 1929 and 1947, he was
a member and eventually a part-
ner in the Camden law firm of
New officers were selected this
week by seven of the fifteen fra-
ternity houses.
Taking over presidential duties
at the Beta house is Dick Wydick,
with Don Lum and Dave Thun
■serving as vice-president and
treasurer respectively. Other of-
fices were filled by Ted Reifen-
stein, Ben Schenck and Jim Fish-
er.
Pete Willmott replaces Dave
Sims as president of the AD house.
He will be assisted by vice-presi-
dent Hank Foltz and two secre-
taries, Palmer White and Fay Vin-
cent.
Psi V
Dave Plater turns the Phi Delt
gavel over to Jim Reynolds, whose
new cabinet includes Hugh Mar-
tin, Paul Glassburn and Bob
Jahncke. The Psi U's selected John
Palmer as their new president,
along with Jim Rayhill and Brad
Smith as first and second vice-
presidents. The recording and cor-
responding secretary posts went
to Don Sheldon and Geof Seymour
respectively.
New president Woody Burgert
takes over from Charlie Dew at
Saint Anthony Hall, and will be
assisted In the coming year by
treasurer Pit Johnson.

Jeff Swift acts as secretary.
Twelve houses have now elected
new officers.
Discrimination Dispute
Hits Princeton Campus
The Princeton Campus is currently in the midst of an anti-
discrimination dispute. For the first time in nine years, 23 Prince-
ton students refused to accept bids to a Princeton eating club.
The seventeen eating clubs at Princeton, not nationally affili-
ated, serve the same functions as a fraternity on this campus. At
the end of Bicker week which corresponds to the Williams Rush
week, 43 students had not receiv- i
ed bids to clubs. In addition, fif-
teen Jewish students signed a
statement saying: "I feel I have
been discriminated against be-
cause of race or religion."
Club officials then divided these
remainmg sophomores among
themselves. Of the original 43, all
but 23 undergraduates accepted
these later bids.
"Nothing We Can Do"
Prospect, one of tlie clubs, ex-
tended bids to the remaining 23;
thpy refutied, howver, to aonept
and thereby denounced Prospect
as a "catch all" club. Eleven or
twelve of these students were be-
lieved to be Jewish.
The inter-club organization is-
sued a statement which said that,
although it did not agree with ra-
cial or religious discrimination,
there was nothing it could do to
force the clubs to accept members.
The committee's statement rec-
ognized the individual clubs' right
to be selective in choosing its
membership and "selectivity im-
plies the right to impose a reli-
gious quota" if the club so desires.
Last year, Princeton attempted
to head off this situation by es-
tablishing an unnamed "facility"
for those unaccepted by or un-
willing to join a club. This was met
with violent student disapproval.
Collegiate Twins
Trade Identities
A new twist was added to the
old story of identical twins switch-
ing places last week when Wil-
liams sophomore Stu Levy ex-
changed college residence with his
brother Jay at Wesley an.
The twins apparently disagreed
on which of the Little Three col-
leges was the most friendly, so
they decided to switch schools for
a week and draw their own con-
clusions.
With approval of the respective
college deans, Stu departed for
Middletown In the aftermath of
Winter Carnival, while Jay re-
mained in WiUiamstown. Both as-
sumed the full academic and ex-
tra-curricular responsibilities of
the other, and few, if any students
were aware of the switch.
The novel operation ended today
with each brother returning to his
home campus. The results of their
experiment? Ask Stu (or Is It
Jay?)
'58 Elects Final
Officers Tuesday
The permanent officers of the
Senior Class will be elected at a
special meeting Tuesday night in
Jesup Hall.
Six officers will be elected at
that time; President, Secretary,
Agent, Speaker, and two Mar-
shalls. Separate elections will be
held for each post, nominations
being made from the floor.
These permanent officers will
be in charge of all the class busi-
ness, such as the Alumni P\ind
Drive and the class reunion. The
Speaker will talk at commence-
ment and the Marshalls will lead
the class in at Commencement.
This is the first time that elec-
tion of permanent class officers
has been scheduled at this time
of year. They were formerly held
at the end of the year with a "pro
tem" group of officers presiding
from semesters until the end of
the year. This new election sys-
tem is the result of an amendment
to the Constitution of the College
Council which was passed by a
refei'cndum this fall.
The turnout in the Baxter Hall
balloting was not exceptional.
Juniors, as usual, had the least
enthusiasm for the election, turn-
ing out a vote of only 54 per cent.
The freshmen scored high with 97
per cent.
Grey
Grey was .secretary of the out-
going CC and vice-president of his
class in 1957. A junior adviser, he
is active in the College Chapel,
the Lecture Committee and a
member of the board of WMS. He
has made Dean's List grades
throughout his college career and
is taking honors in political sci-
ence. From New York, he is af-
filiated with Delta Phi.
Campbell was treasurer of the
CC and president of his class last
year. He played freshman football
and is active in WMS. A Chi Psi,
Campbell comes from Illinois.
Montgomery, from Lansford,
Pa., plays basketball and was pre-
sident of the entry representa-
tives.
P ppresentati VPS
Representatives chosen from the
Junior Class were Mack Hassler,
Jack Hyland and Rich Moe. Prom
the Sophomore Class: Bob Rorke
and Keith Griffin. From the
Freshmen: Tom Pox.
The voting was preferential.
Nominations were made by peti-
tions, which were circulated last
week.
A new electoral system which
would have featured nominating
conventions and majority voting,
drawn up by Juniors Jack Betz
and Dick Jackson, was sent back
to committee for further study by
the outgoing CC late in January.
Council members argued that the
lack of vital issues confronting the
students would render difficult a
contrast in policy between candi-
dates.
BRIDGE TOURNEY IN RATHSKELLER
NEARLY EVERYBODY AT WILLIAMS PLAYS BRIDGE.
The Increasing popularity of
bridge found expression Wednes-
day night when fifty-six Williams
students turned out for the All-
College Bridge Tournament In the
Rathskeller. Planned and coor-
dinated by Dick Contant '59, the
tourney produced six winning
teams. For north-south, it was
Paul Lazarus and Dave Spence
first, then Jack Betz and Walt
Jeffery, Jon Krass and Dave
Knapp. For east-west. Doc John-
son and Lou Epstein took top
honors, followed by Dave Zum
and Brent Balrd, Jim Squires and
Dan Cook.

Govorite po-russki?
Russian will be jriveii here next year.
The knowledge ol another |)eo|)le's lanf^uage
is tlie most eiieetive key to an understanding of
their culture. Their eoimtrys attitudes can be
investigated directly. And the knowledge of how
they put words together is one of the surest ways
to learn the workings of their minds.
For Americans at Williams in the Sputnik
Age, therefore, the ojjportunity to learn Russian
is an excithig one.
But will we take advantage of it?
We doubt it.
In an article in the last issue of Tlie Nation
Freshman Dean William Cole calls our genera-
tion "pastel-colored" and "tepid." Today's stu-
dent "has no heroes, embraces no causes, jjro-
fesses no creeds, disjjlays no great |)assion." He
has "little sense of vocation" and cannot project
any "consistent adult image" of himself "in vo-
cational terms."
And Cole is not the only one to bring tliis
indictment agauist us.
Won't this Williams man with "little sense
of vocation" see a Russian course as a mere nov-
elty? When it turns out not to be a "gut," won't
he lose interest?
Probably.
This is a critical failure. Concurrent with
Cole's article last week, a plea for a return to
diplomacy when the ])ossibility of nuclear an-
nihilation stands darkly before us was made by
Professor Frederick Schmnan in pages of the
New Republic. The only alternative to disaster
he said is "a resumjition of negotiations to halt
the arms race and end the cold war."
How can we negotiate with a people we do
not know? And how can we know them if we do
not speak their language?
We hope we are not being idealistic in urg-
ing interest in Russian 1-2.
The need for interest could not be more real.
FACULTY PLAY
By Bill Edgar
Too much contrast marks the faculty pro-
duction which ends a three-day run at the AMT
this evening.
The three-hour pot-pourri includes hght Sha-
vian comedy, highly esoteric Stravinsky, and
clever but blatant topical satire.
Like beer and fine whiskey, the separate
parts are enjoyable. But they do not mix.
The faculty's orif'-nal "The Way the Cookie
Crumbles" spoofs aliunni, Rejiublicans, tranquil-
izers, students and the U. S. missile program.
Director William Martin has given a whirl-
wind, staccato pace to the satire, which is de-
lightful.
It becomes slightly bitter, however, in
"Nightmare Alley" when philologist Nemo (Don
Gifford ) is harassed by the McCarthyite mental-
ity. The script-writers felt strongly about this.
It adds a bitter taste to what is otherwise very
good fun.
The play cannot fail to appeal to a student-
alumni audience— although it suffers from loose
construction and a very weak ending. The wit is
sharp, imaginative, and it drives home.
Highlights include Gifford's performance
throughout; Anne Waite as Nemo's suffering and
nagging wife; Bob Waite as a two-faced foot-
ball coacli; the madrigal quartet which provides
an image of faculty dancing on the greens; and
the takeoffs on commercials.
The presentation of Stravinsky's "L'Histoire
du Soldat" is elaborate and exciting, a real Wag-
nerian synthesis of three arts.
Lee Hirsche's imaginative set is the most in-
teresting on the AMT stage.
Tom Griswold draws a creditable perform-
ance of the difficult score from a group of hard-
working amateur musicians.
David Boulton is outstanding in the part of
the Devil, Bill Cole effective but sometimes too
senatorian as the narrator.
In the Interlude from Shaw's Apple Cart,
AMT Director Giles Playfair displays his extra-
ordinarv acting talent as King Magnus. Rassi
Gifford s Orinthia is at times enchanting, at times
too forced.
ANSWER TO COFFIN
To the Recohd:
We tliank Mr. Coffin for the first two para-
gra(Dhs of his recent letter to the Editor, with the
remainder we must disagree. We do not feel that
these three men considered "business a game"
nor that they refused to mention the "eons" and
tlie dilemmas.
On the topic of conformity versus individual-
ism doesn't Mr. Smith's statement, "A reasoned
conformity is useful and often necessary as a
means of advancement and sometimes even of
survival, but as an end in itself, it is spiritual
and intellectual dissolution", have both meaning
and indicate a dilemma?
This same speaker suggested that each man
concern himself "not just with the 'hows' but
also with the 'whats' and tlie 'whys' " of his job.
He also stated that "home work— some neglect
of the sports pages—" is necessary to "find your-
self becoming distinguishable from the group
and conscious of your individualism". Are not
these "live issues"?
Might we say that various aspects of con-
formity were discussed by these speakers? Was
not Mr. Stockton touching upon another facet
of conformity in citing "teamwork"— or "an abili-
ty to work with people"— as one of the primary
characteristics sought in a prosjiective employee?
He said that the absence of this trait "accounts
for more failures as managers tlian any other
thing" and that "without this capacity to team
a man is lost". Is this negative conformity?
.Mr. Alter suggested a constant re-evaluation
of one's own position in the business world. He
never advocated that every man be an "Organi-
zation Man". Wasn't Mr. Auer being construc-
tive when he said that any man unhap|3y in the
cor]3orate structure "turn" (note: not "retreat")
his talents to teaching or the ministry or some
other profession"? Is this thought avoiding any
possible discussion of chlemma or demanding
the endurance of a conflict which necessitates a
"surrender of tlie soul" for the sake of conformity?
To return to Mr. Stockton's remarks, the Cof-
fin thesis of no mention of dilemmas is not valid.
This sjieaker clearly suggests that in business we
"will not have ideal bosses" as "there just aren't
enough good ones to fill all positions." He dis-
cusses the "cons" of job rotation and its effect
on the family and social adjustment. And he cites
the importance of the liberal arts man's under-
standing "of the problems and results of science
and technology and the facts of the nation's in-
dustiial growth."
Real Dilemmas? Yes. Cliches? No.
In conclusion, we believe that the participat-
ing alumni did state frankly, although the point
was not luiderscored, that the matter of confor-
mity versus individualism is a |50ssible jiroblem
in the business world; that they believed a cer-
tain amount of conformity is necessary to ac-
complish the company's objectives— that if this
fact creates a conflict in the individual, it might
then be necessary for him to turn elsewhere voca-
tionally. Tlie problem was stated and a solution
was given.

CARNIVAL THANKS
To the Record:
The ski team wishes to congratulate and
thank all those who worked so hard to make
the skiing part of carnival such a success. From
the standpoint of the competitors, the courses
were in excellent condition, especially consider-
ing the most adverse weather conditions pos-
sible. All the competitors certainly appreciated
the spirit of those who carried out the innumer-
able jobs necessary to the holding of a good car-
nival. No witness could call those Williams men
apathetic.

To the Record:
The Williams Outing Club would like to take
this opportunity to express its thanks to all the
anonymous workers who helped make the week-
f'nd successful. Although not members of the
woe ni general, they saw the crisis and were
wilhng to meet it. Special thanks go to the var-
sity and freshman ski teams without whose aid
the events could not have been held. In addition,
the Purple Key deserves credit as do four hardy

BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE
Today let us apply the hot white light of sustained thinking to
the greatest single problem besetting American colleges. I refer,
of course, to homesickness.
It is enough to rend the heart, walking along a campus at
night and listening to entire dormitories solibing themselves to
ileep. And in the morning when the poor, lorn students rise
from their tear-stained pallets and refuse their breakfasts and
shamble off to class, their lips trembling, their eyelids gritty,
it is enough to turn the bones to aspic.
What can be done to overcome homesickness? Well sir, the
obvious solution is for the student to put his liome on rollers
and bring it to college with him. This, however, presents three
serious problems:
1) It is likely to play hob with your wine cellar; umiiy wines,
as we all imow, will not travel.
Mmleim^
2) There is the matter of getting your house through the
Holland Tunnel, which has a clearance of only 14 feet, 8 inches.
This, of course, is ample for ranch houses, but quite impossible
for Cape Cods, Georgians, and Saltboxes, and I, for one, think
It would be a flagrant injustice to deny higher education to
students from Cape Cod, Georgia, and Saltbox.
3) There is the question of public utiliti&s. Your house—
and, of course, all the other houses in your town— has wires
leading to the municipal power plant, pipes leading to the nui-
nieipal water supply and gas main. So you will find when you
start rolling your house to college that you are, willy-nilly,
dragging all the other houses in town with you. Thi.s will result
in gross population shifts and will make the Bureau of the
Census cross as bears.
No, I'm afraid that taking your house to college is not feasi-
ble. The thing to do, then, is to make your campus lodgings as
dose a replica of your home as possible.
Adorn your quarters with familiar objects, things that will
constantly remind you of home. Your brother Sam, for instance.
Or your citizenship papers. Or a carton of ^h^rll)oros.
There is nothing like Marlboros, dear friends, to make you
feel completely at home. They're so easy, so friendly, so wel-
come, so likable. The filter is great. The flavor is marvelous. The
Flip-Top Box is wonderful. The tattoo is optional.
Decorating your diggings with familiar objects is an excellent
remedy for homesickness, but it is not without its hazards.
Take, for instance, the case of Tignor Sigafoos and Estahrook
Baunch who were assigned to share a room last fall in the
freshman dorm.
Tignor, an ice-skating addict from Minnesota, brought with
him 44 barrels over which he had jumped the previous winter
to win the Minnesota Jumping-Over-Barrcis Championship.
Estabrook, a history major from Massachusetts, brought
Plymouth Rock.
Well sh, there was simply not enough room for 44 barrels and
Plymouth Rock too. Tignor and Estabrook fell into such a vio-
lent quarrel that the entire dorm was keot awake for twelve
days and twelve nights. Finally the Dean of Men was called in
to adjudicate the dispute. He listened carefully to both sides of
the argument, then took Tignor and Estabrook and pierced their
ears and sold them to gypsies. ^ ,„,. ,.

And now all is quiet in the dorm, and everyone aits in
peace and smokes liia Marlboros, whose maliers bring you

Eph Free Throws Sink Middlebury
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1958
The Williams varsity basketball
team relied on their foul shooting
ability to overcome Middlebury
College, 70-61, In an away game
Monday.
The Ephs were out-shot from
the floor 27-23, however they
managed to sink 24 foul shots to
7 for Middlebury. Jeff Morton and
sophomore J. B. Morris were out-
standing for the victors collecting
25 and 20 points respectively. Mor-
ris also contributed 16 rebounds.
Tight First Half
The first half of the game was
very even with the Ephs holding
a two point lead at the quarter,
and at half time only one point
separated the teams with the Ephs
leading 31-30. The third period
saw Morris and Morton control-
ling the boards and scoring fre-
quently as the Purple racked up
20 points to gain a 51-40 lead
which they maintained through
the final period.
Frosh Mermen Lose
Depth made the difference Wed-
nesday at the Lasell pool as a fine
Deerfield team vanquished the
Williams Freshmen 52-34.
Both teams battled neck and
neck until Deerfield swept the fi-
nal two relays and the meet. Pi-osh
co-captaln Buck Robinson won the
100 yard orthodox breaststroke e-
vent in the scintillating time of
1:10.0, breaking the freshman,
college, and pool record.
Robinson also beat out team-
mate and co-captain Neil Devaney,
winning the 100 yard butterfly
event in 1:00.8. Terry Allen, Mike
Dively, Jim Urbach and Bob
Reeves also were outstanding.
Squash Faces Yalies
The Varsity Squash team meets
one of its most formidable foes to
date this Friday. Yale is visiting
Williamstown, and the Ephs will
try to keep their record above the
.500 mark. Currently the squad is
riding on a 3-2 record, losing only
to Harvard and Navy.
The Yalies bring a tough group
to town including Captain Harvey
Sloane, Sonny Howe, and Charles
Kingsley. But Williams counters
with Tobin, Stafford, and South-
all, the first three men respec-
tively. Surprisingly Greg Tobin
beat Stafford for the number one
slot.
Yale Is probably the second
strongest squad the team has had
to face this year. Only Harvard is
considered better. Coach Chaffee
expects an interesting match
from his boys who are tough on
their home courts.
The Freshmen also face Yale,
a strong team as usual. Bruce Bri-
an and John Leathers head the
squad which has an 0-2 record.
Hockey, Wrestling, B-Ball Teams
Meet Rivals Here This Weekend
WRESTLING
Williams' varsity wrestling team
will seek its third win of the sea-
son as it grapples a perennially
strong Colgate squad in the Lasell
gym at 2:30 Saturday afternoon.
Sporting a 2-1 record now, the
wrestlers are fresh from a 27-3
drubbing of the Coast Guard Ac-
ademy last Friday. Undefeated
captain Jim Hutchinson (147), a-
long with Wally Matt (123) and
Stu Smith (130), who pinned their
opponents in the Coast Guard
match, will lead the Ephs against
the Red Raiders-. Also counted on
are undefeated Kuhrt Wienecke
(137) and Dave Moore (177) and
Steve Lewis at 157. Pete Carney,
Dennis Mitchell, and Denny Pul-
ler will vie for the 167 pound and
unlimited classes.
Freshmen
The freshman grapplers also
will see action this Saturday. They
will take a 1-1 record against Kent
also at the Lasell gym at 2:30.
Coach Pete DeLisser is counting
on Skip Chase, Bill Penny, and
Jack Staples in the 147, 157, and
167 pound classes. Other starters
will probably be Hank Riefle (123),
Prank Gluck (130), Bob Kaplan
(137), Fred Nowland (177) and
Art Waltman at unlimited.

Williams has a season's record

Norwich, on the other hand, will

Procter & Gamble has interesting
openings in its Advertising Depart-
ment for college- trained men. New
men will be assigned to small mar-
keting groups responsible for the ef-
fectiveness of all consumer advertis-
ing and promotion effort on an
important national product. Each
man receives careful on-the-job
training under experienced market-
ing men, and will be advanced in-
dividually—as rapidly as his ability
permits. The nature of the work is
business management rather than
creative advertising, and involves
working closely with many Com-
pany Departments and with our
Advertising Agencies.
The men we need must have a
genuine interest in business, and the
desire and ability to assume respon-
sibility quickly. They should have
the ability to work closely with
many types of people, and more
than their share of imagination, ag-
gressiveness and sound judgment.
However, because of our unique
training program, experience or col-
lege courses in Advertising are not
necessary.

Discrimination Viewed
By Princeton^ Wesleyan
Streit Proposes
^'Federal l/nion"
Clarence Streit, founder of the
Federal Union, Inc., and editor
of the magazine "Freedom and
Union", urged a federal union of
the Atlantic democracies in a
sparsely attended Monday night
lecture In Jesup Hall.
Streit first discussed the pre-
sent conflict between the Western
democracies and the Communist
world, pointing out that two me-
thods are available for victory;
ICBMs and IDEAs.
World Imagination
He stated that while we are now
mainly concerned with the mili-
tary aspects of the conflict, mili-
tary aims cannot bring victory.
"If we want to win," Streit stated,
"we must do it by an act which
will capture the imagination of
all the world".
This idea has "got to be simple
and got to be great", Streit ob-
served, and then pointed to the
old proverb "In union there is
strength" as the starting point of
this master plan.
NATO Ineffective
He next observed that the cur-
rent NATO alliance, while provid-
ing "a small measure of unity and
co-operation", can never be com-
pletely effective because it is bas-
ed on a diplomatic "yes" which is
an actual "maybe".
Since the alliance system can-
not serve as a means for victory,
Streit proposed a union of the At-
lantic democracies into a federal
system similar to that of the U-
nited States.
Inexpensive Union
This union would be inexpen-
sive, economically advantageous
and, a more effective weapon with
which to fight Communism than
ICBM's, Streit said.
He concluded that "Russia has
already squeezed the last drop of
utility out of union, while the
Western democracies have not yet
begun to tap it."
Williams College is not the only j
academic institution in the East
to run head on into the problem
of racial or religious discrimina-
tion with respect to club affilia-
tions.
Within the last week two other
such institutions, Princeton and
Wesleyan, have recognized this
problem as existing on their re-
spective campuses. In both cases
steps were taken to abolish the
effects of discrimination.
Wesleyan has a fraternity sys-
tem much like the one at Wil-
liams. The issue of discrimination
has been debated sharply for sev-
eral years, but it was not until
this year that definite proposals
have been seriously considered to
cope with the problem.
Approves Resolution
Last week Morton J. Tenzer,
chairman of the Junior Faculty
sub committee on discrimination,
announced that the Junior Fac-
ulty had "unanimously approved"
tlie resolution in the Junior Fac-
ulty Committee Report on Prater-
5noii; Storm Delays
Williamstown Voting
Snow caused the postponement
of the Williamstown elections,
planned to take place on Monday,
Feb. 17. The voting was adjourn-
ed to Wednesday, Feb. 19.
As the polls at the Grant School
opened, the meeting was post-
poned for 48 hours on a motion by
Louis Rudnick, chairman of the
Selectmen. Although most of the
roads were passable, driveways
were blocked, and many of the
roughly 3,200 voters would find
it difficult to get to the polls.
Candidates for selectman are
Louis Rudnick and Henry Nichols.
Lloyd S. Blair is running for re-
election as moderator. George M.
Harper, William B. Atchison, Fil-
more R. Baker, and Robert R.
Howard are competing for the two
positions on the School Commit-
tee. Prof. Harper is running for
re-election. Another candidate for
re-election is Beatrice Moore
Schryver, library trustee.
The postponement was the first

nities. The resolution is aimed at
the elimination of discriminatory
practices by Wesleyan fraternities.
In a quote to the Wesleyan Ar-
gus Mr. Tenzer stated that 'Wes-
leyan has been subject to an in-
ordinate degree of pussyfooting
on the discrimination issue, and
this issue belongs in the open'.
Princeton University does not
have a fraternity system but in-
stead a number of local eating
clubs. The problem arose here last
week when fifteen Jewish students
signed a statement saying: "I feel

Panel Says U. S.
Must See Facts
The annual Alumni panel en-
titled "American Destiny; A Sec-
ond Rate Power?" came to the
conclusion Saturday that the po-
tential is present, but whether ef-
fective and realistic steps to avert
the present crisis will be taken re-
mains the question.
Professor Charles Keller, open-
ing the discussion, concluded that
government aid was necessary for
expansion and reorganization of
our educational system.
Physics professor David A. Park
used interesting facts to compare
the Russian and American scien-
tific educational programs. He de-
plored the "one-fiftieth of one per
cent" of the national budget al-
located for creative research.
Russian System
Park also analyzed the struc-
ture of the Russian system. He
noted that in applied research the
Soviets could produce amazing re-
sults, but that this meant a sub-
sequent sacrifice in other scientif-
ic fields and of badly needed
teaching talent. The yardstick he

Faculty Obsolete;
Machines Gaining
By Eric Davis
The lengthening shadow of the
machine age is darkening the sa-
cred citadel of liberal education.
First, New York University in-
troduced a course over television
in tlie New York area. On the mid-
term exam, the electronic students
pulled a B-average. Eighteen nov-
elists are being discussed over the
air waves this semester.
Then, a Schenectady television
station announced a course to be
given in basic Russian.
Now, Prof. Harold W. Bibber of
Union College in Schenectady is
fostering a 'pinball machine' edu-
cation, which features a textbook,
a testing machine, and 'self-disci-
pline.' Closed-circuit TV and film-
ed lectures will also help to broad-
cast the benefits of knowledge.
Harvard University, under the
guidance of Prof. Burrhus Hkni-
ner, will actually give Natural Sci-
ences 114 with a machine which
teaches from a text through con-
tinual testing and re-testing of
the student's skill.
Students will not give up the ad-
vantages of the personal teacher-
student relationship without a
fight. Questions which can be an-
ticipated are: 'Is tlie machine able
to instill in us the thirst for know-
ledge, to impart the full flavor of
its subject?'
I The reasons for these changes,
indicated Professor Gates of tlie
' Economics Department is to give
sophomores more choice in a par-
ticular field of their interest, and
somewhat more flexibility in their
study of economics; to concentrate
I economic theory in tire junior
year, when men can make better
use of their freshman and soplio-
more courses and some 'lie hopes)
additional maturity; and finally,
for men majoring in Economics, to
concentrate on work in underde-
veloped countries and comparative
economic .systems in Economics
19-20.
I Required Courses
1 Mr. Gates al.so reported that the
: Political Economy major will be
altered in that the number of re-
quired courses in the major will
be reduced, to give students more
flexibility in their work.
The courses to be offered for the
first time in 1958-59 are all in
Divisions I and II, the Math and
Science curricula remaining un-
changed.
The Art Department is offering
two new seminars: one in problems
in American Art, and one on
French Art from 1450 to 1800.
English Changes
The English Department, in ad-
dition to offering a new seminar
on drama to be given by Profes-
sors O'Neill and Aiken, is al.so re-
vamping some of their course ma-
terial. The former English 3-4

Purple Key Weekend To Feature
Athletics, Dance In Student Union
Wesleyan and Army afford the
opposition in all sports for the
coming Purple Key weekend. The
events will be split between home
and away contests with the home
conflicts being basketball, swim-
ming, and hockey.
Saturday Dance
The event which makes this
weekend different from an ordi-
nary athletic weekend is the dance
sponsored by the Purple Key fol-
lowing the varsity basketball
game, lasting until 12 o'clock on
Saturday night.
It will be held in the freshman
lounge of Baxter Hall and will
feature the orchestra of Hugo Bas-
so from Providence. Free beer will
be served in the Rathskeller.
Freshman Hours
Fieshmen will be allowed hours
in the dorm following the dance.
The varsity basketball game a-
gainst Wesleyan will be the last
chance for Williams men to see
their team in action on home
ground. The following weekend the
Ephmen round out the season with
an important game at Amherst.
Pete Willmott '57, is serving as
general chainnan for the week-
end. Ted Oppenheimer is hand-
ling the publicity for the event.

THE U. A. R.
Ill tlic articli' wliicli iippcai.s in tlii.s issue of
the Rkcoiu) on tlic tormatioii of the Uiiitcd Arab
Rc'piil)lic, a Williams junior from li'a(| sup|5orts
the cause of Arab nationalism.
'I'bis sup|5ort is tlistiirbin^lv stronjr.
Tlie unity of tbc .\rabs has c.Nistod for cen-
turies, he claims. It has rested on cultural, reli-
f^ious and liiiiruistic unifonnitv. Only now, after
centuries of "foreij^n intrusion," is this heritage
receivintr political expression.
Many real political and economic factors
which divide the Arab world are ignored in this
article. TI.e complexity of the problems of Israel,
American air bases, and loreifrii oil interests is
unrecognized. And how is the U. .\. H. related to
the federation of |ordan and Iraq?
The article is not a dispassionate analysis.
It is rather a terribly sincere statement of belief,
the creed of a religion. This is a religion with
oversim|)lified aims, backed up by tremendous
emotional force. It has the same intolerance of
foreign "intrusion" that English Puritans had of
Papists, that the courts of the Inquisition had of
heresy. ',
This extreme nationalist religion cannot be
forgotten if we aie to act ellecti\elv in the Mid-
dle East, if we are to understand the imjilications
of the Bagdhad Pact or the Eisenhower Doetiine.
if we are to gi\'e well-recei\'ed foreign aid, if we
are to win the friendshi|i of the "uncommitted'
nations of the woild.
Riddle Of Co-existence
Bti K. Warner Kim
Editor's Note: Kim. a junior, i.i from Soctil,
Korea. At Williain.'; he i.s active in the CoUe<!.e
Chapel.
Professor Frederick L. Schumau, at last
weekend's conference in Cambridge, presented
what may well be the most crucial concern of
modern man, namely "Co-existence or Co-an-
nihilation?" ()|K'iiiiig the Conference, sponsored
by the American Friends Service Committee,
Schuman showed that the general nature of in-
ternational politics permitted only two |50ssiblc
alternatives in dealing with modern states: di-
plomacy or war.
Following Schumau Dr. Owen Lattimore,
Professor of Far Eastern History at Johns Ho]>
kins University, gave his fresh, discerning in-
sights on the Far Eastern situation today. He
emphasized the fact that, while the Bolsheviki of
Russia in 1917 did not have much experience in
the art of ruling, "Mao & Co." were (|uite old
hands at their trade. He also speculated that it
will take less time for Red China to modernize
herself in terms of industrialization than it did
for Russia.
Rupert Emcr.ion
On the second day of the conference Rupert
Emerson, Professor of Government at Harvard,
spoke on Nationalism and the Cold War. Con-
centrating on the area of /Vsia-African national-
ism, be stressed the fact that most if not all of
Africans and Asians think of imperialism only in
relation to Western capitalism and colonialism,
and never in relation to Russian communism. Em-
erson, however, made a cautious warning that
many "footnotes" are necessary when we talk
about the Afro-.\sian World, that is, diversity i.s
crucial to anv adequate understanding of the
problem. The so-called Afro-Asian World cannot
be treated as one political entity.
During the panel discussions Schuman again
emphasized the fact that we cannot overlook the
schizophrenic nature of Russian politics, which
he described as a "paradox" of Messianic uni-
versalism and secular nationalism. In answering
Singer of Vassar, who proposed another alterna-
tive of world government in addition to the
Schtiman's alternatives of war and diplomacy,
Schuman declared that he is "a tired world fed-
eralist".
"Man w Man"
Giving the concluding speech of the Confer-
ence the famous Williams professor. Dr. Schu-
man, stated his basic a.ssumption that man is
neither angel nor demon but that man is man.
When we tell jjcoplc, Mr. Schuman quipped,
that the world is neither black nor white, they
see it "red".
Warning that any solution to the existhig
problem will beget other jHoblems, he concludecl
that our job in 1958 is not to escape from this
"eternal succession of problems" but face them
and "save time". When the situation gets out of
human control, much wisdom and much experi-
ence will no longer save us from total "co-an-
nihilation". Wc must, Schumau said, negotiate
for the negotiables. It is a sign of madness to
attempt to negotiate for the non-negotiable mat-
ters e.g. die "package deal" unification of Ger-
many on only one side's terms. We must act be-
fore we become unable to act.
Accompanying Schuman were eight other
undergraduates. We were impressed not only
with the speakers' brilliance and erudition but
their courage to s)3cak when most of us dare not
speak. If someone is tempted to accuse or admire
the |iarticipaiits in this critical Conference as
being slightly or quite un-American, i.e. not in-
nocent enough, then one might answer with
Kierkegaard that they are at least not ignorant,
since innocence is ignorance in the crucial sense.
THE PRIMA DONNA
Bif Ernie Iinhoff
The Violetta of Maria Callas, jjresented twice
recently in New York, and Maria Schell's per-
formance in The La.st Brid<^e at the Walden last
week call to mind the problem, peculiar in eii-
tertaininent, of the ]5rima iloima jisyche.
The term prima donna usually linked with
opera is that special genre of female giant whose
lame rests as much on personality as on talent,
in tlie old days the exalted divas at the Meti'o-
p,)litan and elsewhere made tliemselves as stormy
and glamorous olfstage as on, and were both
lo\eit and hated as a result.
Today times are changed, and "grandstand-
ing' has become (juite subdued. Nexcrtheless,
the comiilete separation of artistic and other con-
duct of certain o|K'ra singers is still being denied
by the public mind. Maria Callas affords the
outstanding example for our purposes.
True Performer
Callas in spite of, and probably more because
of a distinctly personal style of singing is un-
deniably one of the true ])erformers in opera to-
day. She is also an actress, rather a rare phe-
nomenon in her field. On top of all this she is
an emotional prima donna.
Thus, the ]5roblein. While most music fol-
lowers content themselves with the first two
traits, the general public at the same time finds
itself terribly concerned with her unprofessional
activities, either hating or loving her feuds with
dressmakers, her mother and baritone Sordello or
tenor Di Stepbano et al.
Criticism of her art is thereby often colored
by criticism of her ego. Thus unpenetrating col-
umnists as Hy Gardner dote on her "tantrums",
the American Guild of Musical Artists is con-
sidering banning her temporarily from U. S.
concerts and operas, and fiery Euroi^ean papers
condemn her "cold-bloodedness" and "melodra-
inatics".
Walkouts
A more subtle and serious problem concerning
(Dallas arises when, as recently witnessed in
Rome, the artist allows her temperamental na-
ture actively to interfere with the presentation
of her talent. To date she has walked out on
four scheduled operas precipitating the AGMA's
l^ossible ouster move and in Italy proposed na-
tional legislation concerning her professional fu-
ture in Rome and perhaps even Milan.
This is a personal question only the prima
donna herself can answer. It might be noted not
as a coin]ilcte excuse for her actions but in pass-
ing that she has had sup)5ort from forces other
than Elsa Maxwell. Various top flight singers as
the Met's Licia Albanese, whom we could talk
with after her Boheme last week, have defended
Callas on the grounds of the extreme pressure
involved.
Maria Schell
The other case in jioint is another European
Maria, Fraulcin Schell. This German actress'
performances (as The Bridge's Helga) for all
))ractical purposes are "fabelhaft" (incredible).
Yet ijroportionately too much attention is drawn
to her quite undeniable eccentricities, strikingly
like Mdm. Callas' fanatic awareness of her envi-
ous professional position, ob,stinacy and frank
prizing of material wealth and audience's plau-
dits.
The price of genius on stage is often idiosvn-
erasv off stage. Witness notables in other fields;
alcoholic Dylan Thomas, expectorating, acidic
Ted Williams, drug-addicted Dante Rosetti, oft-
married and irregular Hollywood personages.
The artist's professional publicity is some-
times enhanced, sometimes weakened, both, by
exploiters of the sensational. Tlie dramatic per-
formance, however, in most cases should be con-
sidered by itself alone and not with the elements
of the temperamental prima donna ego. The play
not the byplay is forever the thing.
Obviously A Misnomer
Ihj Bill Arend
Williams has often been called "the Princeton of the Potted
Ivy League", much to the disgust of any Williams man within
hearing distance. Recent devolopmcnts at Princeton tend to throw
some serious doubts on the validity of this parallel— or stigma.
A current Life article presents some views written by Prince-
ton Seniors at the re(|uest of an English Professor. The Life head-
line describes the Princetonians as "irate, defiant individualists"
and "Prudent idealists." A more descri|5tive term could be un-
realistic, isolated idealists and avowed snobs. The article makes no
|3retenses that the views |5resented are tyjjieal of Princeton but
it does try to attach these views to the |)reseiit college generation.
Such an attachment is a direct insult to that generation.
The views presented are idealistic enough but the attitudes of
selfishness and sup|)osed superiority are not exactly coin|)limen-
tary to Princeton. One Senior wrote that he wanted to be better,
"more competent, more cajjable than the mediocre massi's, whom
1 despise bi'cause of their a|)atliy and nietlioerity. This is why I
work as 1 do— to ensure that I will iiexer fall into those masses."
Another said that he did not want to associate with ))eoi)le not of
his "tyjie" because "intimate social contact would be pointless and
])robably boring on both sides. "
The article does not sto|) at presenting the snobbery of the
Prhicetoii students but goes on to show the selfishness and per-
sonal ambition which su|i]3osetlly is characteristic of our genera-
tion, "The Unsilent Generation". One Senior states that in order
to prove that he is one of the "fittest" in life he is going to act
strictly in his own self-interest and on his own behalf. ".My hopes
for the future are based on the assuin|)tioii that I am going to have
to take every short-cut, e\ery means at my disjjosal to achieve my
desired ends."
Discrimination Issue
Manifestations of this attitude can be seen in the recent dis-
crimination issue at Princeton raised by 2.3 So|)homores who re-
fused bids to join eating clubs. The Undergraduate Council asked:
"Does the university administration condone the existence of pri-
vate autonomous groups within the Princeton community which
assert their right to discriminate religiously?" Willi:ims can be
justifiably proud of itself for assuring that the discriminaton issue
on this cam|)us has bt'en met and resoKcd. Princeton should be
ashamed lor not lollowing sooner the exam|)le ot Williams.
More important, Williams should be proud that such evidences
of snobbery and selfishness are not widely prevalent here. Tiie
traditions of acceptauee of indivitluals of all "types"' and the fruit-
ful experience of living with all kinds of in(lividuals have long
been a |)art of the W illiams life. From the Haystack Monument'
foreign missionary moyement to recent examples of college spirit
such as Total Oiiportunity, strong support for athletic teams, and
even the imjiressive Freshman ice sculpture, Williams men have
proven themselves to be tolerant and unselfish.
Obviously the designation of Williams as "the Princeton of
the Potted Ivy League"' is a misnomer and should be greeted with
indignant defense by the true Williams man.
Ivy League
Is it ever Ivy! "Why, Coke is the most
correct beverage you can possibly
order on campus. Just look around you.
"What are the college social leaders
going for? Coca-Cola! So take a leaf
out of their Ivy League book and do the
same! Enjoy the good taste of Coke!

Arab Rendezvous With History
By Abdul Wohabe
Editor's Note: A junior at Williiiim
and president of the Intenuitioiwt Rc-
latioits did), Wolud)e lives in 'Zidmir,
Iniq. 'I'liis (irlicic phwes the forma-
tion of the V. A. l\. in the context of
the Arab juttiotud niovenwnt as a
whole. It does not refh'i-t the tu it ■,
of the editors.
At 5:10 one afternoon last week,
representatives of two Arab States
— Egypt and Syria — concluded
their conference in Cairo by sign-
ing a historic proclamation.
The proclamation brought into
being a voluntary reunion of two
Arab states dismembered, for dif-
ferent reasons by different foreign
powers, eight centuries ago. To-
morrow there will be a plebiscite
in Egypt and Syria to make the
Union official and to elect its new
President.
Arab Nationalism
The establishment of the United
Arab Republic is, so far, the high-
est expression of the Arab nation-
al movement. It is not an isolated
event; nor is it a final accom-
plishment. It is a rendezvous with
history, one as old as the history
of man himself. The Union's gen-
esis must be envisioned within the
total context of the Arab national
awakening.
The motives behind the Union's
establishment are inseparable
from the historical and national
aspirations of the Arab peoples.
The Union's prospects and poten-
tialities— whatever its accomplish-
ments may be — cannot be ab-
stracted from the totality of ur-
ges, hopes and determinations
which inhabit the Arab mind.
Yet, the apparent differences
within the Arab society, the dis-
sension in Arab political circles,
and the rivalries of the rulers give
the impression that Arab unity, if
not wholly unreal, is still very far
What, then, are the elements of
reality in this idea which seems
so difficult to assess? Unity is the
basic norm in the life of the Arab
people. Their division into sepai'-
ate entities is a transient phase of
foreign intiiision which finally e-
rupted into the "lava flow" from
Western volcanic activities that
MODERN CAIRO
spread itself over Palestine.
Unifying Forces
The similarity of topographical
and climatical conditions in the
Arab countries have formed simi-
larities in the social structure. The
continuity of civilization has also
made for a unity of outlook. In
towns, villages and cities through-
out the Arab world, the history of
man is represented in unbroken
line from the cave to the Sputnik
age. Successive covers of dirt load-
ed with massive indexes of history
testify to the remote origin and
continuity of human effort in this
region.
Beliefs and practices, which can
be traced to the infinite past, are
still current among the people.
Next to this unity of civilization,
a great unifying force Is provided
by Islam, if not as a religion, per-
haps as a culture and a way of life.
In thiii sense Islam belongs not
only to those who profess It, but
is the heritage of those who don't.
The Arabic language Is one of
the strongest bonds which hold
the Arabs together. The modem
Arab renaissance began with the
revival of classical Arabic. The
culture of which Arabic is the
medium of expression is the com-
mon heritage of all Arabs.
The loss of political unity early
in Arab history did not affect the
basic unity of Arab culture and
society. And even this unreal loss
of unity was healed when the Arab
countries, from 1516 to 1918, form-
ed part of one political system un-
der the Ottoman Empire.
Past Failures
The disintegration of the Em-
pire led to various attempts to re-
create the Arab nation as a poli-
tical entity. These attempts failed.
Partly because the movements
lacked genuine, native leadership,
but chiefly because the Western

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 19, 1958
Varsity Hockey Blasts MIT 10-0;
Norwich Wins 4-3 As Rally Fails
By Josevli Wheelock
In two weekend games the varsity hockey team broke even
as they dropped a close one to Norwich 4-3 after soundly defeat-
injr MIT by a 10-0 score.
Friday night's game saw the Ephmen meet a badly under-
manned and outclassed MIT team on the liome ice. The first period
was dominated by Williams as they controlled the puck in the
visitors' zone. Fierce checking by
Ephmen Place 5txfA| Purple Swimmers Down Bowdoin;
In Middlehury SkSng Lum Wins Twice In 51-35 Victory
the Engineers prevented a score
until Lowden took a pass from
Fisher and flipped it into the nets
at 9:11. Five minutes later Burgert
duplicated the feat to put the Eph-
men ahead 2-0.
Eight More
In the second period good de-
fensive play again held Williams
to two goals. The third period,
however, was a different story. The
Ephmen seemed to control the
game almost at will, netting six
more goals for a final score of 10-
0.
Right-wing Bob Lowden execut'
ed the hat trick, scoring in all
three periods; while MIT goalie
Dick Burgle took some of the sting
out of the Williams attack with
his 51 saves.
Norwich
Saturday afternoon Williams op-
posed a slightly favored Norwich
six. PouiTiler opened the scoring
for Norwich early in the first peri-
od as he slipped one by goalie
Denny Doyle. Minutes later Cap-
tain Dave Cook evened the score
at 1-1 after taking a pass from
Rich Lombard.
Norwich scored three more times
to surge into a 4-1 lead before
Williams again tallied on a shot by
Woody Bmgert at 7:12 of the third
period. Six minutes later the Eph-
men scored again to bring the
score to 4-3. Though Doyle was
taken out in favor of a 6th skater,
Williams was unable to tie the
game.
6-9 Record
The result of the weekend's ac-
tivity gave the hockey team a six
win, nine loss record for the sea-
son. The next home game will be
on Friday against Army.
Zete Wins Ski Title
Intramural skiing was resumed
after a year's layoff last week and
Zeta Psi romped to an easy vic-
tory in front of runner-up Chi Psl.

Winning their third game of the
year, the Williams freshman hock-
ey team defeated Vermont Acad-
emy 7-2 last Thursday on home
ice.
Second line center "Boots" Cole
man opened the scoring early in
the first period on a slap shot that
found the mark. Williams increas-
ed its lead later in the same period
when Larry Hawkins skated a
round the defense and scored on
a backhand shot.
Ephs Increase Lead
The freshman split the game
wide open in the second period.
After defenseman John Whitney
scored on a screen shot from the
blue line, the first line of Haw-
kins, Lowe and Relnaman whip-
ped in three quick goals within
two minutes. George Lowe fed a
pass across the ice to Hawkins who
added one himself, then set up
Laurie Relnaman for the sixth
tally.
The third period saw the pace
slow as each team added one more
to make the final score 7-2.

College Printers For a Quarter of o Century
Participating in its third meet
of the season, the Williams Var-
sity ski team placed sixth In the
Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Cham-
pionships at Middlebury.
Although individual scores im-
proved for the Ephmen, a fall by
Jim Becket in the slalom proved
to be the one bad break that will
keep Williams, as a team, from
competing in the NCAA meet at
Dartmouth in two weeks.
The best performance of the
day was turned in by co-captain
Becket as he placed 8th in the
downhill. Sophomore Bill Judson
ran 9th in the slalom followed by
Geoff Fisher in tenth place. Beck-
et also copped an eleventh in the
cross-country. |
Dartmouth edged out Middle-
bury, the host team, to avenge
their loss at the Williams Carnival.
Finishing behind the Panthers
were St. Lawrence, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Williams, Norwich,
Yale, La Valle and Syracuse.
The point margin was very
close between Williams and Ver-
mont and the jumping once again
proved to be the real difference.
Individuals who place In the top
ten at the Easterns are qualified
to compete in the NCAA Champ-
ionships. This will probably mean
that the best of Williams' skiers
will compete.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Bill Rhode (left) at the site of New Orleans' new Claiborne Street Industrial Canal Bridge.
"Problems keep life interesting
for a telephone engineer
"I've taken part in all kinds of en-
gineering projects during the five years
I've been with the telephone com-
pany," says Bill Rhode, M.E., Tulane,
'52. "Each project brings special
problems to solve.
"Take a couple of recent jobs I did
as examples. One was to plan and
oversee the relocation of telephone fa-
cilities near a new drawbridge. The
job included designs for attaching tele-
phone cable to the finished bridge and
for providing service to the bridge-
tender's office and the locks.
"The other job was completely dif-
ferent. I was asked to make an ex-
perimental installation of some newly
developed line concentrator equip-
ment. After selecting the test location,
I engineered facilities for the remote
concentrator unit, and trunk plant to
the central office.
"Another thing about these jobs —
they're a result of the growth of the
telephone business. Not only do prob-
lems like these keep life interesting
for a telephone engineer, but they
mean that careers are full of oppor-
tunities to show what you can do and
get ahead."
Wilmer J. Rhode is with Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company. He is one of many
young men who are finding interesting and re-
warding careers with the Bell Telephone Com-
panies. Ask your placement officer for informa-
tion about the careers these companies offer.

ny Howe 15-12, 10-15, 15-11, 15-12
to run his season's record to 5 vic-

Harvey Sloane, Yale's captain.
Southall won a good match from
temperamental Charles Kingsley
15-13. 9-15, 15-9, 15-8.

Williams Tops Jeffs
In Close 64-55 Contest
Bif Jan Rozendaal
Playinf^ steady, controlled hall, the William.s varsity dominat-
ed play to gain a 64-55 victory over Amherst Saturday in Lasell
gym. The Ephs gained an early lead which they clung to tena-
ciously and were never seriously threatened. Sophomore [. B.
Mori'is led the Williams attack
with 16 points while Jeff star Bill
Warren was high for the game
with 20.
Early Eph Lead
The early moments of the game
saw the purple take the lead to
stay on two quick baskets by Mor-
ton and two foul shots by Bill
Hedeman. A tight man to man de-
fense and fine defensive rebound-
ing by Morton, Hedeman and
Morris combiiied to hamper the
Amherst attack.
The fine outside shooting of
Pete Willmott and the deadly
scoring of Jeff Morton who col-
lected 12 points in the first half,
were the vital factors in breaking
up the Jeffs' zone and giving the
Ephs a 35-27 half lead.
Steady Second Half
The start of the second half
saw Amherst resort to a man to
man defense in an attempt to get
back into contention. A bad break
for Williams came early in the
half when Morton picked up his
fourth foul and was taken out
temporarily. With Morton out, the
slack was taken up by Morris and
Hedeman. Morris scored well on
driving shots while Hedeman
steadied the Eph attack and con-
verted six out of ten foul shots in
the second half to end up with a
total of 13 points for the game.
Morton returned to the game but
soon fouled out and only collected
two points in the second half to
make his total 14. Williams was
able to control the ball well in
the final minutes as they let the
clock run out and put the wraps
on the nine point victory.
Sophomore J. B. MORRIS, who
led Eph scoring in Amherst vic-
tory with 16 points.
Frosh Lose To Yale
The Williams Freshman squash
team lost its third match of the
season Friday to the Yale frosh.
Only Fred Kasten and Marty Lin-
sky, the number seven and nine
players respectively, were able to
win their matches.
Brian Loses
Bruce Brian, the top Freshman
player, lost a close match to Tad
Starr, 15-11, 10-15, 15-11, 15-12.

It has been shown here that Ar-
ab unity is not an innovation, a
borrowed concept, or an alien ide-
ology. It is not a concern of a cer-
tain individual or a group of in-
dividuals alone. Neither is it a
mere expedient and hastily-packed
scheme provoked by a temporary
incident, and lacking in justifica-
tion and in support.
On the contrary, the Arabs are
recreating a social order which
they knew when their society was
creative and dynamic. And no na-

past and its heritage, most of

Thus, Arab civilization, recreat-
ed, has a message with something
distinctive and positive to offer to
the world community. And as fai-
as the Western world is concerned,
the most important single fact is
that the Arabs are in process of
growth; they are in
change. This change
challenge which the West can ill
afford to ignore. The Arabs are
challenging the West to meet
world problems with responsible
decisions not motivated by sheer
self-interest and economic or po-
litical expediences. Not by ill-con-
ceived military schemes planted
The Arabs are demanding from
the West a just and fair response
to their world citizenship on the
basis of justice and equality. They
demand that they be given the
same self-governing status and au-
thority which is claimed by nations
who wish to deal with them.
Finally, it is a very delicate
matter at this early stage to In-
dicate what direction this Union
will take. It is not wholly difficult,
however, to realize that from now
on it is the Arabs, and the Arab

development in a region which is

which has now become conscious
of its creative forces in a world
that is so closely interdependent.

reau's schedule, Director Manton
Copeland stated that "almost
without exception" the 114 organ
izations which are recruiting here
between midyears and spring va-
cation are exercising "greater se-
lectivity" this year.
Copeland predicted that fewer
students would be invited for a
second interview, and fewer would
be offered jobs.
Said Economics Professor Ker
mit Gordon: "The bloom is off
the roses."
Ford, IJSS
Cancellations included Pord,
U. S. Steel and three corporations
which build heavy machinery.
This, according to Gordon, indi-
cates a connection with the cur-
rent American economic situa-
tion.
Tiie recession is just beginning
to hit the producers of capital
goods. Ford's sales are off twenty
per cent of capacity.
The cause for the nationwide
setback is the decline in invest-
ment spending which followed the
overextended investment boom of
1956 and 1957. It is not the result
of mere invenioi^ pilcups, which
marked the brief, self-correcting
economic declines of 1948 and
1953.
Optimism
According to Gordon the forces
behind the current economic
downturn resemble those of 1933.
Yet they can be quickly corrected
by a tax cut or increased govern-
ment spending.
Copeland too is optimistic. The
cancellations of placement inter-
views is "quite temporary." All
recruiting organizations who can-
celled have reserved a place in
next year's Placement Bureau
schedule.

action in a godless universe
Playfalr's highly successful pro-
duction of "The Importance of Be-
ing Earnest" will be revived for a
tour beginning April 5 when It
will be sponsored by the Vassar
Club of Essex (N. J.) County as a
entitle methods of thought. This
was achieved by presenting the
different views on the general sub-
ject of optics espoused by three
important scientific thinkers: Ro-
ger Bacon, Leonardo de Vinci and
Sir Isaac Newton.
Changing Attitudes
The discussion was oriented to
an historical approach, as the pan-
elists dealt with the revolution in
scientific thought which charac-
terized the 17th Century and noted
the process of change from medi-
eval to modern attitudes toward
the universe,
Synnott opened the forum with
a brief exposition of the medieval
approach to knowledge. He said
that medieval scientists attempted
to solve the ultimate "whys" of
the universe. Their method was
to reason from authorities using
logic to expose contradictions and
arrive at truth.
Value of Science
Professor Rohr discussed Roger
Bacon and his writings on optics.
Me pointed out Bacon's convic-
tion that science was valuable not
lor its own sake, but for its value
as a weapon to conserve and
strengthen Chi'istendom against
the enemy.
Leonardo de Vinci and Sir Isaac
Newton were discussed by Profes-
sors Nauert and Parke respective-
ly. Nauert stressed de Vinci's fail-
ure to tie his observations to sci-
entific generalization, and Parke
concluded the discussion with a
summary of Newton's method In
which mathematics became the
benefit for their scholarship fund, language of science.

Barrow Featured
In Organ Recital
Professor Robert G. Barrow will
present an organ recital tonight
at 8:15 in the Thompson Memori-
al Chapel. This is the seventh in
a series of concerts sponsored by
the Deaprtment of Music.
Classic organ literature will be
represented on the program by
compositions of J. S. Bach and
Henry Purcell. Also on the pro-
gram will be two new organ works
by Professor Barrow to be per-
formed for the first time in pub-
lic. They are both part of a suite
of four pieces intended to show off
the characteristics of particular
organ stops.
One of the highlights of the
program will be contemporary mu-
sic. A well-known Sonata by Paul
Hindemith, a German composer
who has taught at Yale, and a Pas-
torale by Darius Milhaud, a French
composer now teaching in Cali-
fornia, head the list.
There will also be compositions
by Walter Piston, a native Am-
erican now a Professor at Har-

The Tunisian Incident
By MucAlinter Brown
Professor of Political Science
The recent hi.story of France and the Arab
world ha.s witiics.secl oixscure military officers
spriiiginj^ from the rank of colonel into national
leader.sliip dmin<^ times of eri.sis. The careers of
Charles de Gaulle, Col. Abdul Nasser, or Col. H.
Serraj come to mind. The French Colonel of the
air force, however, who ordered the rejjrisal raid
on the Tunisian villaf;;e of Sakiet - Sidi - Youssef,
will remain obscure and unheralded, even though
his action visibly affected his nation's history.
The action of this I'Vench officer in locally
ordering a res|)onse to hostile actions mounted
from Tunisian territory was not withont authority
in the f^eneral jjolicy laid down by the Paris [Gov-
ernment, even though it greatly stretched that
authorization of "hot pursuit" retaliation. French
Premier Gaillard did not disown the action be-
fore the National Assembly, and he easily evaded
formal condemnation in the chamber by a count-
erattack on Tunisia for having aided the Algerian
rebels. Y'et this classic example of military deci-
sion-making in the field without proper consider-
ation of overall political objectives will be per-
haps more damaging in its conse(|uences for the
nation than the actions of a far more exalted of-
ficer of the United States, who was relieved of
his su|5reme command in Korea for failure to
respect the political requirements set by the na-
tional |)ol icy-makers.
It has been observed that this single raid in
all its excess of kiUing and destruction irrevo-
cably iirternationalized the war within France's
Department of Algeria. Perhaps so, thought the
present "good offices" arrangement with the
United States and Great Britain will kee)i the in-
ternational discussion within the Western family
for the moment at least. Yet, for the United States,
the war has been internationalized in a most
emharassing fashion. American-made bombs and
planes were largely instrumental in the slaughter
at Sidi-Youssef. And for Tunisia the departure of
fifteen thousand French troops remaining there
as the last vestige of the Protectorate which was
liquidated in 1954 has now become an unavoid-
able issue.
President Bomgniba is even more impelled
by public opinion in his efforts to exjjel the
French than is Premier Gaillard restricted by the
Right Wing in his efforts to conciliate Tunisia by
paying an indemnity. Under the circumstances,
United States and British "good offices" are
just the remedy the doctor ordered. One might
even hope for a settlement involving NATO tak-
ing over the naval base of Bizerte, with Tunisia
eventually joining the alliance.
The thought of ultimate settlements poses
the critical question now facing the USA. Should
we seize the opportunity afforded iis by the im-
portune colonel to follow Senator Kennedy's ad-
vice and initiate an "inter-national effort to de-
rive for Algeria the basis of an orderly achieve-
ment of independence'"? Or should we adhere to
the policy of tolerance of French agonies on this
issue which Washington has hitherto followed,
and which Dean Acheson has recently reaffirmed
by chiding Keimedy for his naivete and harmful
meddling? The French do not appear ready yet
to enter a discussion of the larger issue, but would
rather concentrate instead upon obliging Tiniisia,
to seal off the arms traffic across her border into
Algeria. Whatever gestures may be extracted on
this issue from Bourguiba, he will never consent
to dry up the lifeblood of the Algerian army and
suffer its extinguishment in the manner of Tito
and the Greek rebels in 1949. Nor is it likely
that even 400,000 Frenchmen can suppress the
Algerian guerilla war long enough to effect a
graceful jjolitieal withdrawal such as the British
are fashioning in formerly bl()od-s|iattered Cy-
prus.
The Sidi-Youssef bombing has further di-
minished the prestige of France and accelerated
her de])arture from Tunisian bases, but it unfor-
tunately is not e(|uivalent to Dien Bien Phu. No
single incident could be short of the loss of a
major city to the rebels, for the French ijresence
in Algeria is rootetl far more dee])ly and exjien-
sively than its interest were in Inclo-Cbina. No
French ]Dolitieiaii can take over the Premiershi]o
today with a jjledge to licpiidate the war as did
Mendes-France with Indo-China. Yet the United
States can impose guarantees that our military
e(|uipment not be used for "domestic" defense.
Bourguiba and Mohammed V of Morocco can
continue to insist u]5on tht> danger of political
gra\itatioii of North Africa to the growing orbit
of President Nasser. Servan-Schreibers can con-
iuue to expose the brutality and fruitlessness of
"icneh military operations in Algeria. Weariness
and despair will bring France to the point of re-
oncilialion with a fate which most intelligent
I'renehmen already see ahead of them. The Unit-
ed States should judiciously encourage this re-
conciliation but iireachment and harassment by
us will not hasten the necessary conversion to
reality of the French public. One can hope that
our good offices will be conducted with delicacy,
privacy, and imagination. One might also wish
that our unofficial good offices extend to the Al-
'j;erian Liberation Movement in a manner that
ini<;ht encourage their leaders to meet the French
half wav in a mutually beneficial compromise.
Letter To The Editor
To the Record:
Once again, the low state of intellectual con-
cern on the Williams campus was vividly dem-
onstrated by the sparse attendance at the well-
publicized lecture of Clarence K. Streit, Monday
last. The sjieaker, who traveled many miles in
the face of difficult weather conditions, could
crtainly expect a larger percentage of the stu-
dent body to walk the length of "fraternity row"
to bear his thought provoking message. One no-
ticed, however, that despite the weather, the
management of the Walden theatre and Brigitte
iiardot had no difficulty in drawing a crowd.
If Williams College expects its Lecture Com-
mittee to continue presenting high caliber speak-
ers, and if it wishes to maintain its reputation as
an outstanding liberal arts college more real
student interest should be forthcoming.

THE PLEDGE YOU SAVE
MAY BE YOUR OWN
Today's column is directed at those young female underpradu-
ates who have recently pledged sororities and are worried, poor
lambs, that they won't make good. Following is a list of simple
iDstructions which, if faithfully observed, will positively guaran-
tee that you will be a mad success as a sorority girl.
First, let us take up the matter of housemothers. The house-
mother is your friend, your guide, your mentor. You must treat
her with respect. When you wish to speak to her, address her as
"Mother Sigafoos" or "Ma'am." In no circumstances must you
Bay, "Hey, fat lady."
Second, let us discuss laundry. Never hang your wash on the
front porch of the sorority house. This is unsightly and shows
a want of breeding. Use the Chapter Room.
Third, meals. Always remember that planning and preparing
meals for a houseful of healthy girls is no simple task. Your cook
goes to a great deal of trouble to make your menu varied and
nourishing. The least you can do is show your appreciation.
Don't just devour your food; prai.se it. Exclaim with delight,
"What delicious pork jowls!" or "What a yummy soupbone!"
or "What scrumptious fish heads!" or "What clear water!"
Fourth, clothing. Never forget that your ai)pearance reflects
not just on yourself but on the whole house. It was well enough
before you joined a sorority to lounge around campus in your
old middy blouse and gym bloomers, but now you must take
great pains to dress in a manner which excites admiring com-
ments from all who observe you. A few years ago, for example,
there was a Chi Omega named Camille Ataturk at the Univer-
sity of Iowa who brought gobs of glory to all her sorors.
CMilieUioni^eM^^iiioa^ /^//^/^...
Camille hit on the ingenious notion of suiting her garb to
the class she was attending. For instance, to English Lit she
wore a buskin and jerkin. To German she wore lederhosen and
carried a stein of pilsener. To Econ she wore 120 yards of ticker
tape. Her shiningest hour came one day when she dressed as a
white mouse for Psych Lab. Not only her Chi Omega sisters
but the entire student body went into deep mourning when she
was killed by the janitor's cat.
Finally, let us take up the most important topic of all. I
refer, of course, to dating.
As we have seen, the way you dress reflects on your sorority,
but the men you date reflect even more. I3c absolutely certain
that your date is an acceptable fellow. Don't boat about the
bush; a.sk him point-blank, "Are you an acceptable fellow?"
Unless he replies, "Yeah, hey," send him packing.
But don't just take his word that he is acceptable. Inspect
him closely. Are his fingernails clean? Is his black leather jacket
freshly oiled? Is his ukulele in tune? Does he carry public
liability insurance? And, most significant of all, does he smoke
Marlboros?
If he's a Marlboro man, you know he's a lot of man. You
know he has taste and discernment, wit and wisdom, character
and sapience, decency and warmth, presence and poise, talent
and grit, filter and flavor. You will be proud of him, your sorority
will be proud of him, the makers of Marlboro will be proud of
him, and I will be paid for this column. c ..«. m.. shui,-.
• • *
The mnkert of Marlboro wish to announce that Mr.
S.ntlrnan has beerx paid for lliis column and will continue
to be paid for bringing you flit Immely i,hHo»opfxy througfi-
out ttie achool year.

Eph Hockey Tied
In 1-1 Deadlock
The Hamilton hockey team scor-
ed a goal at 17:43 of the third per-
iod Wednesday night to tie Wil-
liams 1-1 in a game played at
Clinton, New York.
Scoring for the home team was
center Don Norbeck with assists
from Strawbridge and Burns. The
tally came while the Ephmen were
a man down. Williams had opened
the scoring when wing Bob Low-
den dumped in a shot at 7:23 of
the second period.
The regular three periods of the
game were followed by a 10 min-
ute sudden-death overtime which
was characterized by fast breaks
and several hard shots by both
clubs. Neither team, however, was
able to break the deadlock.
Goalies Denny Doyle of Wil-
liams and Don Spencer of Ham-
ilton had 34 and 38 saves respec-
tively and accounted for the low
scoring in the game.
The Purple now have a 6-9-1
record. The next game will be on
Friday against Army at home.
Weekend Hockey Set
This weekend the varsity hockey
team has two games scheduled.
One will be against Army on Fri-
day and the other with Wesleyan
on Saturday.
The Army sextet boasts one of
the stronger teams in the East
and should prove to be one of the
toughest opponents of the season
for Williams. Last year the Ca-
dets defeated the Ephs, 8-4, at
West Point.
The Wesleyan game will be run
on an informal basis since the
Cardinals, not having a varsity
hockey team, will field a "club
squad" for this contest. Coach
McCormick intends to alternate
the two lines that he has used in
the past several contests. Matches
with A. I. C. and Amherst next
week will conclude the season.

New Data Implements
Roper Center Here
The American Institute ol Pub-
lic Opinion, better known as the
Gallup Poll, has added 2,500,000
IBM cards, representing six mil-
lion dollars worth of original da-
ta, to the Roper Center at Wil-
liams College.
Only six months after its es-
tablishment the center has receiv-
ed poll materials from 18 public
opinion reseaix:h organizations.
Represented in the collection now
is 12 to 15 million dollars worth
of poll data in the form of 7,500,
000 IBM cards.
Available to Scholars
Each year the contributing poll
group will add new materials,
forming a cons^c'ntly growing fund
of research information for serious
scholarship. Prior to the estab-
lishment of the Williams Center,
most of the materials were scat-
tered, unpublished and not read-
ily available to scholars in the so-
cial sciences.
Now, however, accredited indi-
viduals and groups may obtain
summaries of the data in the cen-
ter. For minor projects, tabula-
tions will be made on the center's
own IBM machines. For more
complex projects the center will
loan duplicate sets of the materi-
als. Facilities are also available to
qualified scholars who wish to
work there.

Keller Discusses
Pioneer Williams
Education Course
The new course in the history of
American education which will be
offered next year is the first "ed-
ucation" course offered at Wil-
liams.
History 17a is being added to
the curriculum as a result of the
efforts of Brown Professor of His-
tory Charles R. Keller, chairman
of the department, who returned
last term from two years of duty
as director of the Advanced
Placement Program sponsored by
the College Entrance Examination
Board. Keller plans to teach the
course.
It will be designed for prospec
tive teachers and those who have
a non-vocational interest In edu
cation. At least one source has
given tentaitive approval for
teacher certification credits. Kel-
ler calls the course another move
by Williams to place the stamp of
approval on the teaching profes-
sion with emphasis on the devel-
opment of a supply of well trained
teachers for the public schools.
Topics Scheduled
Tlie course will deal with edu-
cation as an aspect of American
culture in relation to the main
currents of intellectual history.
Keller plans to include such topics
as: the Puritans and the founda-
tion of education; Jefferson's
contributions to education; the
public school movement; develop-
ment of the liberal arts college;
progressive education; and the
present crisis in public education.
A "junior" course, the prerequisite
will be History 3-4 (American).
Keller believes there Is a defi-
nite need for "education" courses
in a liberal arts college, especially
"for prospective parents and tax-
payers who should be well-versed
in the . . . problems of education."
Accelerated Program
Allows 3-Year Degree
Beginninf^ next fall, freshmen who enter Williams with ad-
vanced placement credit will be allowed to complete the re((uire-
nients for the Bachelor of Arts dej^ree in less than four years, Dean
N'incent M. Barnett announced Saturday.
The new ruling was passed by the Faculty February 10. Wil-

Six Faculty Members
Preparing Publications
By Georg^e Reatb
Pour books by members of the
Williams faculty will be published
within the next three months,
while several other men are in
the process of preparing publica-
tions.
The official publishing date for
Professor Whitney S. Stoddard's
"Adventure in Architecture" is
March 26. Longman & Greene is
the publisher. Stoddard's book tells
the story of the building of St.
John's, a Benedictine monastery,
school, and college in CoUegeville,
Minnesota.
The building is designed for pro-
gressive expansion over a 100 year
period. Stoddard pays special at-
tention to the cooperation between
the architect. Marcel Breuer, and
the monks. Included in the book
are 91 pictures, taken mostly by
the author.
Professor S. Lane Faison, Jr.,
'29 has written "A Guide to the
Art Museums of New England",
which will be published in May by

Snow Clearance Work
Receives High Praise
Last weekend's snow storm, in
addition to inconveniencing many
who were either stranded or snow-
ed in, cost the college about $2000
and even caused Dean Vincent M.
Barnett to consider cancelling
classes.
Barnett said that there was
some question during the storm
as to whether students and fac-
ulty would be able to get to clas-
ses. After consultation with mem-
bers of the faculty, however, the
dean decided that classes could
80 on.
The job of digging the college
out from under the blanket of
snow which the storm deposited
fell to the grounds crew. For their
work, these men received high
praise from Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds Peter Wel-
anetz. He said, "I am very proud
of our grounds crew which bore
the brunt of this thing without
complaint."
Long Hours
In order to dig the college out,
the grounds crew worked night
and day. At one point trucks plow-
ed for 21 consecutive hours. After
a two-hour nap the men were out
plowing for another eight hours,
and after another six hour nap,
they were ready for another
twelve hours of snow removal.
The college has about five miles
of roads and about the same a-
mount of sidewalks plus about two
miles of faculty driveways and
parking lots which had to be clear-
ed. A welcome factor in the clear-
ance job was that there was no
equipment breakdown.
The extreme cold which at one
point reached 22 degrees below
zero also Increased the load of the
central heating plant. A new rec-
ord was set when three quarters
of a million pounds of steam was
produced in a 24-hour period. This
is an increase of about 50 per cent
over normal output.

There are 400 illustrations of

to be found in the Lawrence Art
Museum and eighteen from the
Clark Art Institute.

Love Life Study
Benefits Students
Sex, Love, and Marriage, the
series of weekly lectures given by
Dean William G. Cole, has been
launched into its annual eight-
week run.
Cole first administers a Sex
Knowledge Inventory, designed to
get the facts straight, followed by
sessions on dating and pre-marital
relations, one on "How Do You
Know You're In Love?" one on
engagement, and, finally, two on
marriage itself and its expecta-
tions.
Purpose
Cole explained that the pur-
pose in this course was twofold:
first, to provide a basic under-
standing of the physiology of
sex; and second, to try to foster a
sound attitude towards love and
marriage.
Despite their collegiate exterior.
Cole feels that students "don't
know as much as they think" and
that the course is effective in its
first, factual aim.
He finds it difficult to evaluate
the series itself in effectiveness on
attitude and individual problems,
but points out that it stimulates
individual counseling which Is of
considerable value.
Popular Lectures
Dean Cole's course has proven
itself extremely popular in the
past. The first of this year's ses-
sions was attended by over 150
juniors and seniors. A few fresh-
men and sophomores managed to
sneak into 111 TBL, the scene of
the lecture series, and preview the
privilege supposedly reserved for
the two upper classes.
qualified students.
Advanced placement standing
will be given to those students who
have, in secondary school, receiv-
ed credit for college level courses
by passing either College En-
trance Examination Board ad-
vanced placement tests or special
tests given by the College.
Faculty Ruling
According to the faculty ruling,
those students "may, with the con-
sent of the Dean, be permitted to
register for extra courses and to
accumulate credit from approved
summer school courses, thereby at-
taining a B. A. degree in a period
of time shorter than four years".
Barnett pointed out that the
ruling is in direct opposition to
past College policy. In the past
students have not been allowed to
carry more than five courses or to
receive summer school credit un-
less they needed to make up de-
ficiencies.
The ruling does not apply to
students presently enrolled in the
College, nor to students who enter
without advanced placement cre-
dit.
A section in the new College
catalogue, scheduled for April pub-
lication, will deal entirely with
"Opportunities for Superior Stu-
dents at Williams".
The Williams move follows the
trend established when more high
schools and private schools began
to offer advanced courses. History
Professor Charles Keller has spent
the past two years working for the
College Entrance Examination
Board as Advanced Placement
Program director, traveling a-
round the country persuading sec-
ondary schools to offer advanced
courses and colleges to offer credit
for them.

DYNAMIC
Too often Williams is relerrwl to as a "stroiiif
frateniity collet^e" witb a polite and well-dressed
student body which is beaded for a country-club
world.
Although a quick glance at Main Street on
a dance weekend would support tbis myth, it
is continually coinitered by tbe college's faculty,
curriculum and administration.
Recent developments sbow this college to be
dynamic in a fast-moving world:
1) A plan to allow superior students to ac-
celerate tbeir comse of study. Less wasted time
for the gifted— a move toward the solution of a
problem vvbieli currently ]5lagues U. S. education.
2) History 17a to be offered ne.\t year: the
history of -\merican education. The teacher short-
age is one of America's biggest |)roblems in the
Sputnik age. This course may stimidate interest
in ttuiehing careers.
Letters To The Editor
"VACUOUS IDEALISM"
.\lr. Arend'.s article, "Obviously a Misnomer, "
in tbe Febniaiy 19th issue of the Rijcoiid indi-
cates that the author is unfortunately guilty of
the sell-same cbarges which be renders against
the Princetonians featured in the February 17tb
issue ol Life Magazine. He terms tliem "un-
realistic, isolated idealists, and avowed snobs."
lie is, first of all, unrealistic in failing to rec-
ognize the validity of the Princeton student's
statement of his unwillingness to associate with
|5eople otber tban those of bis own type: "inti-
mate social contact would be pointless and prob-
ably boring on both sides."
\ more serious oversigbt occurs when he
states: "Williams can be justifiably proud of it-
self for assuring that the discrimination issue on
this campus has been met and resolved. Princeton
shoidd bo ashamed for not following sooner the
example of Williams."
Mr. Arend is smugly confident that such
conditions no longer exist at Williams, apparentlv
basing his attitude on a single successful at-
tem)^t at total ojiportunity— an attempt marked
by a certain amount of mass hysteria on tbe part
of the fraternities.
We reject Mr. Aiend's attitude as one of iso-
lated idealism. We should like to point out that
total opjiortunity has existed on tbe Princeton
campus for a considerable length of time, ante-
dating the Williams' achievement by years. Fur-
thermore, the ty]3e of discrimination described
by the Princeton undergraduates is certainly very
much in existence on the Williams campus, where
many of the fraternities continue to consider
race and religion as meaningtul factors in tlie fi-
nal choice of members. (See Phillips' Report)
In closing his article, Mr. Arend arrives at
a rather confused and teimous conclusion: "the
designation of Williams as 'the Princeton of the
Potted Ivy League' is a misnomer and should
be greeted with indignant defense by the true
Williams man." The confusion is com|K)unded by
phrasing which is false to his real meaning, i.e.,
he means that the "true Williams man" shoidd
attack this misnomer. This conclusion asserts
certain beliefs which contradict those of his pre-
vious argmnents. His ap])licati()n of the adjective
"true" to the Williams man indicates that Mr.
Arend has in mind certain criteria which form
the basis for this value judgemcnit, distinguish-
ing the "true" from the "untrue". Unfortunately,
Mr. Arend fails to define or indicate exactly
what he means by tbe term "true", but h6 seems,
in any case, to postulate a norm, a set pattern of
behavior, to which any and all Williams men are
expected to subscribe.
We would ask how Mr. Arend reconciles his
praise of this established norm with his praise of
die "traditions of the acce))tance of in-
tlividuals of all types." Not only does he place
these restrictions on the individual, Iiut he goes
('\en further in this direction by ex|)ecting and
demanding a single res|ionse (i.e. "greet with in-
,li"nant defense") from this "true Williams man,"
! linii^itiDu tbe "individual" would reject.
We feel that this kind of vacuous idealism,
mixed with shoddv logic and collegiate chauvin-
ism, goes too often unheeded by the inadvertc^nt
Williams man, stee|)ed in the bland thinking
which Mr. .trend's article illustrates. If tbis think-
ing represents tbe prevailing climate of ojiinion,
then little has been gained from tbe "friu'tful ex-
perience" of college life; if not, it .should be sing-
led out and rejected as vagaries of thought.

EDITOR BLASTED
To The R}:conD:
The editorial comment appended to the let-
ter in last week's Ri;com) decrying lack of at-
tendence at a lectiu'e indicates two things: that
the editor feels so superior to his readers that
he will not condescend to attack diem in a cleai-
Iv thought out article and that tbe editor ha,'-
taken political science 3-4. As a journalistic pol-
icy the inserting of "clever" comments can onl)
be described as stupid. U|5 to now the Rkcoiu)
has been masquerading as a college newspaper,
not a junior edition of "Time", and aUhough mv
journalistic experience is not as wide as that of
our exalted editor's, I would postidate that a
newspaper might better encourage reader interest
dian sf|uelchiiig it. In closing let me say that 1
take no stand on lectiue attendance, world feder-
alism, or student apathy. I only feel that if the
editor wishes to attact the thought content (not
the facts ) of a letter he should do so ojicnly.

BAD SPORTSMANSHIP
To The Rkcohd:
I write this letter in a state of deejj regret and embarrassment.
Regret that such a letter must be written; embarrassment that I
am connected with Williams College atidetics. It is a great disap-
pointment to me that at a school of Williams' level it becomes nec-
essary to appeal to the student body to act like gentlemen and
cease doing their utmost to give Williams the poor reputation it
is rapidly gaining among its rival schools.
The subject to whieb I am referring is the intolerable behav-
vior of die Williams fans at athletic contests. Intolerable not only
to the opposition but to the Williams team as well. As. a jiartici-
pant in Williams College athletics, 1 can testify to the fact that it
is most imcomfortable to feel compelled after a game to apologize
to your o]i])onents for the action of yoiu' fans. As an excellent ex-
ample I cite the recent hockey game between West Point and Wil-
liiuiis, where the actions of the fans drove the players to un])leas-
antrics which I am sure would nevi-r have occured had we been
playing on .Vnny ice.
I say in conclusion, cheering and encouraging yoiir own team
is commendable and desired; jeering and mocking the opposing
team is inexcusable,

Social-Residence Quad
Proposed At Princeton
The President of Princeton U-
nlversity, Dr. Robert P. Golieen,
proposed Saturday a student re-
sidential plan similar in aim to
one suggested by a group of Wil-
liams students last year.
Ir; a speech before the alumni
association, Dr. Goheen announc-
ed the plans for a seven million
dollar quadrangle with eating and |
social facilities for 250 students j
and dormitories for 350 more. Il
is planned as an alternative to the
Princeton eating clubs and will al-
so contain faculty apartments and
a library.
Dr. Goheen insisted it was not
part of a program to supplant the
present eating clubs. The new
quadrangle is however, the first
permanent step the university has
taken to provide for non-club
members. The announcement fol-
lows a recent incident caused when
twenty-two sophomores were not
invited to join .sixteen of the clubs
and refused an invitation from a
seventeenth on the grounds that
it was a "catch-all".
Ted Wynn '58, one of the "Ter-
rible 22" who proposed that Wil-
liams fraternities be converted in-
to "social units" with members
assigned by lot, commented,
"while the idea doesn't seem feasi-
ble here, for financial reasons, it
does reflect a trend away from
strong social emphasis towards the
ideals of real education. Now a
man can be free from fraterniz-
ing, constantly."

Alumni Magazine
Has New Format
The Williams Alumni Review
has adopted a new cover design
which appeared on its first Issue
of 1958 last Thursday.
Editor Ralph R. Renzi '43, calls
the new format "The biggest
change we have made in the Re-
view since the size was changed
six years ago."
The Review is published quar-
terly by the Society of Alumni.
Renzi and Associate Editors Hel-
en A. McGowan and Charles B.
Hall '15, send out 12,000 copies of
each issue to all alumni and many
friends of the College.
In an editorial, Renzi states,
"During the past five years, the
Review has been edited with the
basic assumption that a candid
discussion of campus problems
will do much to further their
solution." Toward this goal, the
magazine includes articles of cur-
rent events on the campus, re-
prints of RECORD editorials, and
a letter column reflecting alumni
opinion.
Features of the current issue are
a picture section devoted to the
undefeated football season and a
series called "Ambling For 'Am-
biente' " concerning summer trips
of students abroad.

Professor's Biography
Of Minor Poet Lauded
By Professor R. J. Allen
Chairman — Dept. of English
No event of eighteenth-century
Scottish history is more romantic-
ally exciting than the Jacobite ris-
ing of 1745 under Bonnie Prince
Charlie, and none is more inter-
esting to the social historian than
the emergency of Edinburgh as
one of the intellectual capitals of
Europe. Each of these events re-
ceives its share of attention in
Williams Professor N. S. Bush-
nell's "William Hamilton of Ban-
gour: Poet and Jacobite".
The subject of Professor Bush-
nell's literary biography was e-
Jacobs Defends
Labor's Demands
Samuel Jacobs, representative
for the United Auto Workers in
Washington, D. C, presented la-
bor's views on the contemporary
economic situation in a lecture
Monday night.
Jacobs pointed out that as a
representative of organized labor
his principle consideration in
viewing the economic situation was
to see how the prevailing condi-
tions affected the employment
situation.
The main point of his lecture
was that labor's demands for in-
creased wages have been more
than compensated by the increase
of industrial productivity. He also
pointed out that this increased
ability to produce must be match-
ed by a commensurate ability to
purchase this production.
Following the lecture there was
an informal discussion period dur-
ing which Jacobs was questioned
in relation to the new contract
proposed by Walter Reuther, head
of the U. A. W., in relation to the
contract negotiations with Gen-
eral Motors.
qually at home in the literary and
in the social world of Edinburgh,
but it was as a poet that he made
his permanent reputation. Much
of his poetry was imitative of clas-
sical authors or of the vers de so-
ciete which charmed London dur-
ing the lifetime of Prior and Gay.
By allying himself, however, with
Alan Ramsay and the rising group
of Scottish poets, Hamilton of
Bangour also contributed to a
movement which gave him more
chance to show his originality, the
revival of the Scottish popular
ballad.
While disclaiming any Intention
of retelling the tale of the Jacob-
ite rising of 1745, Professor Bush-
nell manages, in the chapters en-
titled "The Campaign and the
Heather" and "Exiles," to provide
an engrossing reconstruction of
the rising and its aftermath as It
must have looked to Hamilton. Al-
though the source materials for
this part of the poet's life are by
no means rich, his biographer has
made the most of them. As In
other parts of the book, there is
a skillful merging of the man and
world in which he lived.

Sti've Lewis all pinned their opjionents to lead the assnlt for Wil-
liams. Openiiii; the match, Nlatt's (123) |)in eanie oNt-r Henry
Tansand at (115 in the third jjcriod on u half-nelson and crotch.
In the 137 pound class Wienecke
stopped Wesleyan's Huckins after
3.47 minutes in the second period
on a cradle.
Captain Hutchinson needed on-
ly 2.35 minutes of the first period
to finish off Mark Levine. The
pinning combination was a half-
nelson and crotch. Also using a
half-nelson and crotch, Lewis
pinned Lud Probst in 8.07 minutes
in the third period.
Stu Smith, Pete Carney and
Bob Hatcher also turned in vic-
tories for the Eph matmen. Smith,
wrestling at 130 pounds, complete
ly dominated Harlan Crider. On
top for the entire match, he went
on to win, 11-1. 177 pound Carney
.scored on two take-downs and a
reversal to outpoint Elliot Snow,
7-4. Ready to wrestle for the first
time since dislocating his elbow
two months ago in the first match
of the season. Hatcher (unlimited)
won by default over injured Char-
ley Smith. Denny Mitchell at 167
suffered Williams only defeat, as
he was decisioned by Wesleyan's
Tom Sorenson, 7-3.
The grapplers now have the
tougher leg of the Little Three
Championship, Wesleyan having
defeated Amherst, whom the Ephs
play this Saturday. The team rec-
ord is now 3-1-1, having also
beaten Tufts and Coast Guard,
lost to Springfield and tied Col-
gate. The varsity grapplers cur-
rently have two undefeated men,
Captain Jim Hutchinson and
Kuhrt Wienecke.

Behind 11-12, going Into the
final match, the freshman wrest-
ling team gained a 14-12 win over
Wesleyan on Art Waltman's vic-
tory.
Co-captains Skip Chase and Jack
Staples as well as Dean Howard
also chalked up wins for the Ephs.
Howard won on a forfeit when the
Cardinals did not have anyone to
wrestle at 123 pounds. Netting five
points, this forfeit provided the
margin of victory, since each team
won four matches and there were
no pins.
Waltman beat his opponent in
the unlimited class by a 6-1 score.
At 147, Chase, with a takedown
and an escape decisioned Lou Lar-
rey, 3-2. Staples outpointed Dave
Gorden, 6-2, in the 167 pound
class.
Casualties for Williams were
Hank Riefle, Bob Kaplan, Bill
Penny and Walt Noland. Riefle
lost his 130 pound match, 4-1,
while Kaplan at 137 was outpoint-
ed, 5-1, by Al Williams. In a much
closer match than the score indi-
cates, Wesleyan's Jack Richards
stopped Penny (157), 6-1.

The Williams varsity hockey
team .split a pair of Purple Key
Weekend games at Williamstown,
losing to Army 8-2 and defeating
Wesleyan 7-2.
The Cadets led by Ted Crowley's
two goals, completely overpowered
an ineffective and almost helpless
Williams six on Friday. The Eph-
men who on numerous occasions
had a one and sometimes a two
man advantage were unable to get
their power play into operation.
The highlight of the game came
late in the final period when Pete
Dawkins, Army detenseman, en-
gaged in a wild fist fight with
junior Mike Grant. The brawl cli-
maxed an afternoon of rough
hockey.
Wesleyan Outskated
A complete reversal occurred
Saturday as Williams easily rout-
ed Wesleyan 7-2 in an informal
game. The Cardinals are not a
regular college team but a club
organized at Wesleyan five years
ago.
Dave Cook .scored two goals for
the winners wliile Woody Burgert
notched three assists to his credit
for ti'.e afternoon's point leader.
Barry Bloom flipped both Wes-
leyan goals into the cage in the
third period.
Williams now has a record of 7-
10-1 with two games against A. I.
C. and Amherst remaining.

Williams Debate Team
Wins McGill Tourney
A Williams College debate team
composed of seniors Charlie Gil-
christ and Sam Jones won the
annual McGill University tourna-
ment held last weekend at Mon-
treal.
Speaking against the resolution
that "This house approves a sys-
tem of selective military service
in North America", Jones and Gil-
christ swept through three prelim-
inary debates against Toronto,

Hamilton's works is as accurately
established as It is likely ever to
be. New light is thrown on a
number of the literary and social
figures who played so large a part
in the gregarious poet's life.
In addition, one is grateful for
the discrimination and critical
tact with which the book is writ-
ten. Hamilton was a minor poet
and Professor Bushnell is content
to present him as a minor poet,
never apologizing for him and
never hesitating to disagree with
critics who have overpraised him
out of national pride or a fond-
ness for the literary tradition to
which he belonged.

defeated Princeton in the finale
to win the trophy.
The forensic competition, held
in conjunction with McGill's Win-
ter Carnival festivities, received
radio coverage from the Canadian
Broadcasting Company (CBC).
Affirmative Williams debaters,
Dave Phillips '58, and Tim Coburn
'60, had rougher sledding, drop-
ping two of their three debates.
The tourney winners successful-
ly argued that selective service
does not provide the type of mili-
tary force which will be able to
cope with the exigencies of the
post-Sputnik era. They proposed
the alternative of a moderate-siz-
ed professional army, arguing that
only a well-trained, well-paid mil-
itary force can meet the challenge
of limited as well as massive war-
fare.
The Williams team also con-
demned selective service for pro-
ducing an army in which morale,
discipline and respect are impos-
sible to maintain because of its
forced, short-term nature.
The McGill tournament Is one
of the most highly-rated Eastern
competitions, drawing teams from
both Canadian and American col-
leges, including Harvard, Pitts-
burgh, Princeton and Toronto.

of education which
las existed for
sultant for a discussion on how the
hife'h schools can meet the needs
of the gifted students through
programs of college-level quality.
At Tuesday's meeting, Keller as
analyst will introduce the discus-
sion on the responsibility of the
college or university to these gifted
students. He will attempt to give
some answers in a prepared
speech.
"Articulation"
Keller points out that the re-
sponsibility of the college begins
before the students enter college
and continues after their gradua-
tion. The college should work with
both the secondary schools and
the graduate .schools for "articula-
tion", the joining together of these
levels of education so that the
"gears mesh." The overall purpose
of this plan is to prevent duplica-
tion in the student's education.
In addition, Keller explains,
many colleges have duplication in
their freshman . and sophomore
years. Williams '^as made strides
away from this situation.
Ike's Proposals
The meeting is sponsored by the
Association for Higher Education,
a department of the National Ed-
ucation Association (NEA). The
various sessions will discuss Pre-
sident Eisenhower's recent pro-
posals to Congress about educa-
tion. Participants will consider in-

lum.

Rudolph To Commence
Volumes On Education
"We are trying to span a ehasni between the two levels
too lonjr a time."
These are the words of Leno,\ (Mass.) school superintendent Hiram Battey in rcfenmce to
the work of a few Williams faculty members who are pioneerinf^ in the destruction of the^^ieepskiu
ciutain" which has so long existed between seconLJary anil higher educational institutions.
I Taking the view that education ougiit to be a continuous, un-
I broken process, Williams professors ha\e been working with local
I secondary school educators to (1) promote greater understanding
i bi'tween the two faculty groups, and (2) achieve greater continuity
oi curricula between the two levels of education.

Professor C. Frederick Rudolph, Jr. '42 (M.A. 1949; Ph.D.
1953 Yale), of the history department, will begin research at the
Library of Congress next year for a projected, multi-volume historv
of higher education in the United States. Rudolph was awaided a
Guggenheim Fellowship last year
for this purpose.
For many years, his major in-
terest has been cultural and social
history. "Wlien you get to gradu-
ate school, you have to write a
dissertation. Nobody really knew
what the old Mark Hopkins adage
meant," he says, "and I decided to
find out."
The result was a complete ^study
of Mark Hopkins' influence oiMhe
development of Williams, a study
which won two major prizes for
contribution to historical know-
ledge in 1953.
Rudolph condensed the paper
by half ("It was improved on the
whole") for publication as "Mark
Hopkins and the Log" by the Yale
University Press in 1956. The book
is now in its second printing.
Wider Horizons
His new study, which will re-
quire several years work, is to be
of a similar character, but it will
show the development of all types
of colleges and universities. "Of
course, it won't have one man to
hang everything on. I'm not going
to do much more with Williams
history, except with its influence
on the whole (development of
higher education)."
"If you can't have discussion
teaching and honors programs,
then there's not much social or
economic excuse for the small col-
college instructional methods for I lege. I like teaching small sections
high schools. I of alert and dedicated students.

New CC Members Offer Opinions
On Council Responsibilities, Issues
In interviews this week with new
College Council members and of-
ficers, the RECORD was able to
find indications of student gov-
ernment's position at Williams and
the direction It plans to take in
the Immediate future.
Crucial Year Ahead
New CC president Jack Hyland,
Junior Class President Len Grey,
representative Rich Moe '59, and
Sophomore Class Secretary Al
Martin all felt that this was a
crucial year for the College Coun-
cil. If the Council runs Into trou-
ble under Its Increasing responsi-
bilities, a change In structure
might result. Grey commented
that "if we fall on the job of tak-
ing over the SAC, there may be
a call for change to which the
Council win have to respond."
8ophom%re representative Bob
Rorke and Junior Moe commented
that (as Rorke put it), "after all,
the College Council is only five
years old." A possible change
might be a shift in power to the
Social Council. Most persons an-
swered favorably to the question
of respect for Social Council op-
inions. Taking Issue with the pro-
position, however, was President
Hyland who thought that the CC
was more representative because It
was composed of college officers.
Year's Agenda
The immediate business of the
CC was outlined by Hyland. In
addition to the traditional rushing
work, the Council will attempt to
recoup losses on the defunct Com-
munications System, will create a
new committee for Houseparties,
will take over SAC duties and will
study further voting changes in
class elections.
Opinions Conflict
On general topics of college Is-
sues, the RECORD was able to
collect some interesting comments.
Len Grey: "There is perhaps too
much 'logism' at Williams. The
college is too wrapped up in the
idea of Mark Hopkins and his log
— too much log and no limbs to
crawl out on." Grey added, "the
danger to student government
comes when the Council starts
creating issues."
Al Martin: "I feel that in the
future, the CC should create the
issues Instead of getting them
when they're at a crucial point."
Palmer White: "Many top men
in the class don't run in class elec-
tions because they fear the ridi-
cule or stigma attached to class
offices."
Jack Hyland: "The large turn-
over In class offices this year is
not very unusual. Many guys feel
that they've been In politics and
want to do something else."

Lead Academic Race
The Non-affiliates and
Delta Chi received top academic
standing among the sixteen social
groups for the first semester. They
had composite averages of 7.8 and
7.6, respectively.
The all-college average includ-
ing the freshman grades was 6.5,
showing an overall drop of .1 from
last year's college average.
Theta Delt
Thotq r>pU "'as fnllowed by the
Zete and Beta Houses. Theta Delt
rose from third, Zete from sixth,
while Beta fell from second place.
The four leaders were followed by
Phi Sig, Chi Psi, St. A., Delta Phi,
and Sig Phi.
There has been roughly a 14 per
cent decline since last semester in
the number of students on Dean's
List. The freshmen showed the
greatest decline with a 12 per cent
drop, only 10.9 per cent of the
class receiving honors grades.
The movement began last Oc-
tober when 45 educators from fif-
teen local secondary schools con-
vened with an equal number of
Williams faculty members. The
occasion was a visit by Frank
Theta I Bowles, president of the College
yixHiams Granted
Gift For Science
Williams College was awarded
$41,600 on Feb. 19, by the National
Science Foundation. The grant
will enable the college to maintain
a summer course for college and
junior-college teachers of biology.
The course will be supervised by
Professor of Biology Samuel A.
Matthews.
The original idea for this course
came from a committee of the Am-
erican Society of Zoologists, of
which committee Matthews is a
member. The purpose of the
course, Matthews indicated, is to
provide continued opportunity for
advanced study in the fields of
embryology and cytogenetics.
Prepress
Progress in these areas, Mat-
thews said, is so swift that the
average college teacher does not
have a chance to keep up with
them. This course will enable them
to catch up in those fields. It will
be taught by a staff of eleven spe-
cialists from the American Society
of Zoologists.
Altogether, over 400 grants were
made by the National Science
Foundation, Including grants of
$15,000 to Amherst and $8000 to
Smith,
Entrance Examination Board.
Three weeks ago seven Pittsfield
secondary school officials met with
a group of college faculty for dis-
cussion and dinner. They discus-
sed college and school curricula in
English, history, science, mathe-
matics, and foreign languages.
There have been several other
meetings on a similar scale.
A Beginning
Although the strides taken thus
far might seem relatively insig-
nificant in themselves, the par-
ticipants feel that they have es-
tablished a firm groundwork for
future local cooperation, and that
they have set a precedent in the
field of education which may even-
tually become nationwide.
Said Superintendent Battey; "It
is most refreshing and extremely
helpful to find a college that is
willing to have its faculty devote
their time to problems of the sec-
ondary school."

OPEN LETTER
TO THE JA ELECTIO.N CO.M.MITTEE
Your nine-man committee— five seniors and
four jnnior.s adxisetl hv I'n'.slmiun Uean VVilliiun
G. Cole i.s currently seleetint; tin'rty .sophomores
to serve as next year's Junior Advisers. Your
choices will be announced before Sprinf^ vaca-
tion.
.Much criticism has i)een directed at [A Se-
lection Committees in the past. Most of it has ex-
])re.ssed dissatisfaction witii the distribution of
JA's amonf^ the fifteen Williams fraternities.
To meet this criticism the Rkcoiu) forwards
the followiiif; recommendation to vour commit-
tee:
That heginning this year at least one man
from each house he named a Junior Adviser.
We urm' the new CoUct^e Council to endorse
it and be^in its tenure with positive action on a
basic problem.
Ideally, of course, [unior Adviser selection
should be aimed at findint; the thirty best men for
the job. Fraternity distribution should not be
considered at all. Yet our deferred riishinif system
has placed a premium on house representation
in the freshman tjuad.
The most e(]uitable distribution, then, would
be the apjiointmnt of two [.\'s from each house.
Quality, however, would in this case be sacri-
ficed.
Our i^roposal, then, is an attempt to reconcile
these two untenable positions by j^ivinji; each
liouse one representative and reservinij; the other
fifteen positions for selection purely on the basis
of merit.
After all, each house must certainly have one
so))homore who could fill the responsibilities of
being a [A.
POLIO SHOTS
Last year another research doctor's name
was heralded in the headlines of the world for
a new discovery. His name was Jonas Salk; his
discovery— the polio vaccine.
Today it is available to collejres and schools
throughout the country.
Williams is one of those colleges.
The State of Massachusetts has given Wil-
liams enough vaccine to inoculate the whole col-
lege.
They will be offered at the Infirmary today
and on NIarch 13 and 14. The shots are free to
encomage students to take them, for it is only
through mass inoculation that this disease can be
effectively combatted.
It is up to the students to co-operate— for
their own personal safety, for the safety of the
coUege, and for the safety of the nation as a
whole.
A new Russian course, a course in the his-
tory of American education, first stejis toward the
acceleration of the gifted student's college ca-
reer . . .
Interest in a career of teaching has stirred
students. The education panel was the best at-
tended of career weeki'nil. St) far this vear thirty-
two seniors have registered uiterest in teaching,
a |)ronounced increase over 1957.
And today another stej).
Williams is turning toward the commnnity in
an effort to raise the "sheepskin curtain" be-
tween colleges and secondary schools.
Three weeks ago Pittsfieid secondary school
officials met with Williams facnltv members to
discuss curricula. Other such meetings iiave been
held.
The problem, in the words of Prolcssor Kel-
ler, who is largely res|)onsible for liiese meetings
is "articulation"— making the "gears mesh" be-
tween colleges and high schools.
Advanced ])lacement is one solution. A
"greater understanding" between the faculties of
both levels another. Williams has made the first
steps toward both.
The work done thus far is fine. We want
more.
In the explosive Sputnik age, Americans can
not afford to shoot for less than the moon.
High school curricula need considerable re-
vision.
Only 15 per cent of .\merican high school
students study any foreign language. Out of the
twent\'-[our major tongues (each sjioken by more
than 20 million |5eo]5le) only French and Span-
ish are studied to anv extent. 100,{X)0 high school
seniors attend schools where no advanced math-
ematics are taught; 61,000 in schools which pro-
vide no instruction in jihysics or chemistry.
The college can take the initiative in solving
a serious national problem. Some one lias to.
.\nd— with their exprience in liberal arts—
they can make sure that new science and lan-
guage courses produce educated men, not mere
linguists and technicians.
NOT IMPRESSED
Editor's Note: The following is reprinted from
Tuesdaifs Wcsleyan Argus.
As the Wcsleyan basketball team walked off
the Williams court after losing to tlu^ Ephmen
70-.59 Satmday, the picture was complete. Wcs-
leyan jDlayed Williams in nine contests, and the
latter came out with a slight edge over the sports-
oriented Wesmen. The )iurpose of this disi^lay of
athletic power was to impress the group of sub-
freshman athletes who were invited by TNE
to be guests of the Wesleyan Community for the
week-end.
Let's be realistic. Sports at Wes Tech are
not the most potent in New England, but are
they as bad as they looked this weekend? No. If
we are going to try to get athletes to come to
Wesleyan, why not invite them on a weekend
when our opponents are somewhat less formid-
able. Granted, Williams is our typical small col-
lege adversary, but this year they happen to be
tyjiically powerful in everything.
If we had scheduled the weekend when we
plaved teams with which we at least had a fair
chance, the sub-frosh athletes would have seeii
good games, and maybe a few of them would
iiave been impressed enough to come back next
year. With the athletic demise the Card teams
suffered, though, it wouldn't be too surprishig
to see our sub-fre.shmen athletes show up at Wil-
liams next fall.

TOWN MEETING:
THE POLITICAL SOLUTION
By Bill Edgar
The problem last Monday in the crowded gymnasium of
Williamstown's Walter G. Mitchell School was one of individual
vs. eolk'ctive interest. It was solved by an extraordinary political
process— the New England town meeting,
The problem arose in two ways.
Eirst of all, Abraham Standler— a young swimming jiool su-
|)ervis()r-wanted to build a restamant. He owned land in South
Willianistown, but if a restaurant were built on it, the land would
have to be rezoned. Now a residc-nce distiiet, it woidd have to
become a business and industrial district.
S|)ot zoning— the transformation of Standler's projierty alone
into a non-residence district— would have been illegal, The rezon-
ing then, would have affected his neighbors' ])roperty too.
"I'm just one httle single man," he said, "who wants to make
a living and I'd like the town to voti' lor it." He was api^lauded.
The town planning; board aigued that new business would
benefit Willianistown.
Infringement on Right
Then one of Standler's neighbor's spoke— iMiglish Professor
Nelson S. Bushnell. He argued that rezoning would be "a direct
hifringement on the rights of the residents of the area." Ik; had
mo\ed to South Williainstowii as jiart of "a new progressive move
toward rural living." Rezoning the area as a hnsinss district would
"destroy this )K'culiar advantage Willianistown has."
The problem: individual Standler's interests vs, the colli'ctive
interests of his ni'ighbors. It was solved, and Standler's restaurant
was defeated by a vote of the town.
Votes in a town meeting are usually by acclamation, except
when contested or when the vote is crucial. In the latter case, the
citizemy stands and is coimted-first those for a motion, then
those against. The chance to stretch legs, to talk and mill aiound,
is welcomed.
The second case in which the jiroblem aiose was a more con-
troversial one, for it affected the pocket-books of the whole town.
The White Oaks section of Williamstown wanted sitlcwalks
on their sticets, to )irotect the li\es of children going to and fioin
the Hroad Brook School.
To ^ave Someone V.rief
Men and women from White Oaks pleaded support "to help
protect o\u- children." Tliev were perfectly willing to give a few
feet ol lawn, a shrub, evt'u a tree "to sa\f someone grief," Yet the
collecti\'e will was stronger, Eacetl with a tax-rise, citizens from
othei- sections ot town argued that a new school or an improved
sewei- system was more ini|)ortant if money was to be spent, .\
vote was taken. .Again the interests of the majority were upheld.
Tln> most important vote of die long evening- affecting the
whole town— was the ]iassing of dii' largest budget in Williams-
town history (o\'er .$1 million). Items ranged from the police de-
]iartment to new e(|ui|)ment for the cemetery, from highway main-
tenance to Memorial Day Ob.servance and poison ivy control.

Squashmen Beat
Dartmouth, 6-3;
Stafford Defeated
In an extremely well-played
match, the Williams varsity
squash team took the measure of
a rough Dartmouth squad 6-3 at
Hanover Tuesday. This victory
gives the squashmen a 6-3 record
to date with only the Amherst and
Intercollegiate matches remaining
to be played.
The squad came through despite
the lo.sses of both Gregg Tobin and
Captain OUie Stafford. Stafford
dropped his fourth match of the
year and second straight, losing
to Dartmouth's number one man,
Hoehn, in five grueling games, 15-
10, 15-8. 12-15, 7-15, and 16-15.
Tobin
Tobin also went down slugging,
losing his match in five games Il-
ls, 15-9, 15-13, 11-15, and 15-13.
Eph Rog Southall won a five-game
slugfest from his opponent 17-16,
17-18, 12-15, 15-12, and 15-10. In
a four game match, Tom Shulman
beat the man who had beaten him
in four games last year. The score
was 15-10, 15-12, 9-15, and 15-10,
Pete Beckwith, Bill Weaver, and
Clnis Shaefer, al.so won four game
matches, while Junior Ernie
Pleischman whipped his adversary

Hedeman Nets 19 In 55-45 Loss Titles As Ten Teams Face Jeffs
BILL HEDEMAN, Eph forward
who scored 19 points against RPI
Tuesday.
Freshman Squash
The Eph Fro.sh Squash team
dropped an 8-1 verdict to Deer-
field on Wednesday. It was an
improvement over the 9-0 drub-
bing Deerfield inflicted earlier
this year. Fred Kasten, number
seven singles, provided the only
Williams victory.
The R. P. I. Engineers overcame
a two point half time deficit to
hand the varsity basketball team
a 55-45 defeat Tuesday in Troy.
The Ephs were unable to stop a
second half rally by the Engineers
who are lieaded for the post-sea-
■son N. C. A. A. small college bas-
ketball tournament. Bill Hedeman
was high scorer in the game with
19 points while Ellie Hantho led
R. P. I. with 18.
Ephs Gain Lead
The very tight first half saw
the Purple gain a slight advantage
which they managed to maintain
for a 27-25 half time lead. The
Ephs worked the ball steadily in
the low-scoring first half. The En-
gineers came back, however, to
outscore the visitors by five points
in the third period, gaining a lead
which they held throughout the
final quarter. The game was tight
all the way, with R. P. I. breaking
a Williams press in the final min-
utes to gain their ten point mar-
gin of victory.
Williams' high-scoring center
Geoff Morton was able to collect
only 9 point.s against the R, P. I.
defense; Hedeman was the only
Eph scoring in double figures. The
Engineers' attack was sparked by
Hantho's scoring.

Ten Eph teams will compete a-
gainst Amherst this weekend to
wind up the winter season in all
sports. The outcome of eight mat-
ches will decide the Little Three
champion.
The varsity and freshman hock-
ey teams will face the Jeffs at
Amherst on Saturday, March 1.
Having lost to Amherst on Feb-
ruary 8 by a 2-1 score, the var-
sity will be fighting an uphill
battle. A win over the Sabrinas
will give the Ephmen 25 wins in
the 41 games played between the
two teams since 1909.
Tlie freshman club, led by cap-
tain Larry Hawkins, faces Am-
herst for the first time on Satui'-
day. Last year's contest ended In
a close decision in favor of the
Jeffs.
Swimming
Having defeated Wesleyan last
Saturday, the varsity swimming
team will compete for the Little
Three championship against Am-
herst on Saturday in the Pratt
pool. The Jeffs sport a powerful
team this year.
Freshmen Down RPI
Scoring 33 points in the third
quarter, the Williams freshman
basketball team defeated RPI 91-
53 Tuesday night at Troy.
The score was 36-28 at half-
time as the Engineers managed
to stay even with the Ephs for
most of the period. The second
half was a different story; Wil-
liams exploded for 13 straight
points to go into a commanding
lead.
Continuing the torrid pace in
the last quarter, the Ephs increas-
ed their lead to 40 points, coasting
to their third victory in the last
four outings. Bob Montgomery and
Sam Weaver led the scoring for
Williams with 24 and 18 points
respectively.
The race of this meet promises
to be the 100 yard butterfly be-
tween Bill Jones, who holds the
Amherst College record, and Bob
Severance, who holds the same
record for Williams.
Captained by Buck Robinson and
Neil Devaney, the freshmen will
be gunning for their second
championship. They too will go
into the meet boasting a victory
over Wesleyan.
Baslietball
Also at Amherst will be the
closing game between the Jeff and
Williams basketball teams. Tlie
two clubs met on the Eph floor
two weeks ago, a game in which
Williams won an upset victory 64-
55.
The Eph frosh, who hold a 5-4
record, will face the Amherst
freshmen for the Little Three title
in a preliminary game.
Wrestling
In a match at Williamstown,
Coach Jim Ostendarp's wrestling
squad will meet the Jeff team. Led
by captain Jim Hutchiason, the
Ephs crushed Wesleyan 31-3 last
Saturday. The best match should
be the 137 lb. clash between Jeff
captain Dick Danielson and the
Ephs' Kuhrt Wienecke.
Pete DeLisser's freshmen are in
for a rough contest Saturday. Both
teams have defeated Wesleyan, but
the Amherst club turned the trick
by a more decisive score.
Squash
The varsity squash team will
attempt to make it three Little
Three titles in a row on Saturday.
Playing No. 1, captain Ollie Staf-
ford of Williams will meet cap-
tain Dave Hicks of Amherst. Staf-
ford is favored.
The Williams-Amherst fresh-
man match on the same day will
decide the Frosh Little Three title.
The Ephmen won last year and
are favored again this season.

JA Committee Begins
Sophomore Selections
Thirty so|)lionioies will soon be clioseii to serve as next year's
Junior Advisors. Their ap|)()intments will be made known by the
nine man Selection (Jonnnittee shortly before spring vacation. The
committee is composed ot Jack Love, chairman, vice-president of
last year's JAs, Larry Nilsen past president of the CC, Ted Wynne,
Charles Gilchrist and Sandy Pet
Rudolph . . .
ter members at large from the
senior class, plus Jerry Rardin and
Woody Burgert, president and
vice-president of the present JAs,
and Steve Saunders and Len Grey
from the junior class. The mem-
bers-at-large are chosen by the
president of the Junior Advisors
and the Dean of Freshmen. The
Dean, Rev. William G. Cole, serves
as advisor to the committee.
Committee Work
Information forms on candidates
have been distributed to the house
presidents. Applicants are usually
requested to submit a precis of
their reasons for wanting to serve
as Junior Advisors.
The committee meets frequently
and will eventually go over every
applicant from the sophomore
class several times. In addition to
personal knowledge, they use the
recommendations of faculty mem-
bers and house presidents. Also,
at the end of last year, the Jun-
ior Advisors were asked, for the
first time, to rate the freshmen
in their entries as potential JA
material.
Jack Love, chairman, pointed
out in a RECORD interview Wed-
nesday night that the two most
important qualifications were pro-
bably willingness to assume re-
sponsibility, and academic maturi-
ty. He added that no concrete
qualifications could be establish-
ed due to the broad nature of a
Junior Advisor's functions.
He added that the committee,
on which he has served for two
years, "is probably the toughest job
I've had at Williams."
Wydick To Head SC;
Cites New Proposals
Dick Wydick '59, was elected
president of the Social Council
Tuesday at a meeting which elev-
en of the fifteen house presidents
or their representatives attended.
Pete Willmott '59, was chosen sec-
I'etary- treasurer.
In a statement released after
the meeting, Wydick, who is pre-
sident of Beta Theta Pi, said, "We
hope to make the Social Council
a positive organization promoting
the ideals of the academic com-
munity of which the fraternities
are a part."
"In the past," he went on, "the
social council's main function was
to defend the fraternities. Our job,
as I see it, is to make the frater-
nities the collective sponsors of
an academic and social atmos-
phere in keeping with our intellec-
tual society."
Concrete Proposals
As concrete proposals to further
this aim, Wydick cited the con-
tinuation of lectures like the Bax-
ter series and an Initiation week
oriented more toward "help" ra-
ther than "hell".
Wydick also expressed the hope
that the Social Council would set
up a housepajrty committee to
oversee social weekends In con-
junction with a similar committee
proposed for the College Council.
"After all," he remarked, "the
fraternities are the ones who al-
ways complain about bad house-
parties. It should be their respon-
sibility to see that we have good
ones."
Wydick, a perermial member of
the dean's list, served on the fresh-
man council. Willmott, a Junior
Advisor, and president of Alpha
Delta Phi, also serves as presi-
dent of the Purple Key Society.
plained about fraternities in those
days have now created a situation
where everyone is in one which to
me is ironic. I had the happy ex-
perience of seeing the social sys-
tem from both sides of the street,
being in the Garfield Club for a
year. Now, of course, there's only
one side. It's probably better this
way though."
He was president of Sigma Phi,
a member of Gargoyle, the Under-
graduate Council (forerunner of
the CC), a Junior Adviser, and on
the editorial board of the literary
magazine "Sketch."
Army and Family
He spent four years in New
Guinea and the Philippines for
the army after graduating from
Williams.
After the war he was pressed to
teach at Williams for three se-
mesters "which is about all the
teaching experience I had before
coming to Williams permanently,
unless you could include tutoring
on Martha's Vineyard during a
summer."
He takes an active interest In
local government. "I like to go to
town meetings. Last night we suc-
cessfully impeded progress," he
says with a smile, "by refusing to
build a new sidewalk and refusing
and one by Vivaldi. J. S. Bach's i a permit for a restaurant. That's
Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B I what people like about Williams-
flat, and a lengthy work by Mo- town— its lack of sidewalks and

Williams Takes Five Little Three Titles
Ephmen Dominate
7 Of 10 Contests
By Sam Farkhlll
Five Little Three titles were gar-
nered by Williams winter athletic
teams last Saturday as Ephmen
dominated seven of ten contests
staged with their traditional ri-
val, Amherst.
The varsity basketball team was
unable to repeat its earlier victory
in Lasell gym but still tied with
the Jeffs for Little Three honors.
In addition to varsity baslcetball
the only other Williams teams to
.succumb were the freshman squash
and wrestling squads. Although not
competing for titles the freshman
and varsity hockey teams both
edged their opponents in contests
on the Orr rink.
In Williamstown the varsity I
squash and wrestling teams beat '
the Amherst representatives by de-
cisive scores, losing only one in- '
dividual contest in each match. !
The varsity swimmers walked
off with top honors in the Little
Three by gaining a ten point mar- :
gin over the Jeffs while the I
freshmen sunk their opposition
53-20. Tliree records fell in the
two meets, one Williams freshman ;
record and two Amherst pool rec-
ords.
The varsity hockey team check-
ed the Amherst sextet in a game
which saw a total of fourteen goals
registered, to avenge their 2-1 de-
feat in Williamstown, February 8.
The Freshmen emulated the var-
sity win by slipping past the Jeff
yearlings 4-3.
The combined total for the past
two weekends of Little Three com-
petition gives Williams the out-
standing record of sixteen vic-
tories in nineteen events.

In a report released last Friday, the Gargoyle Soeiety reeom-
nieiided that "the Williams Collej^c Honor System he e.xtended to

Panel Lr^es Federal
Action For Recession
"The recession will extend to
the middle of next year unless the
government steps in." said Dick
Attiyeh '58, in the Student Union
Committee's fourth colloquium
held Thursday night in the Rath-
skeller.
Attiyeh .served as ..part of a
panel composed of Professors Em-
ile Despres and Kermit Gordon of
the economics department and
Don Conklin '58. The panel had as
its topic, "What's Happening to
Business."
Most Severe Decline
Gordon said that this was the
most severe of the three post-war
recessions. Unemployment is the
highest since the war. He attri-
Seniors Have Choice
In Military Obligation
By Toby Smith
Seniors graduating this June
will have a number of possible
choices open to them with regard
to fulfilling their military obliga-
tion. The recently changed 'six
month' programs will probably be
the most popular.
Henry N. Plynt, Jr., Director of
Student Aid, outlined in detail the
present status of the draft and
enlistment opportunities. As of
late 1957 the draft quota per
month was upped from 7.000 to
the present 13,000. "Actually,"
Plynt commented, "this is still a
very low number." The present
average draft age has risen to 22
and one-half yrs.
In terms of "who will be called
next", Flynt noted that local draft
boards are placing married men
on the bottom of their priority
lists and that unless unusual con-
ditions arise, most Williams grad-
uates in this category can feel
fairly secure.
Term of Service
The term of service for those
who are drafted is two years with
three years or longer for those who
enlist. There are numerous advan-
tages, however, connected with en-
listment. There is also "voluntary
draft" which means that one asks
to be called up in the next quota
of his Draft Board.
The Military Service Act of 1955
permits all branches of the armed
forces to accept six months active
duty enlistments. Such a program
means in addition, however, 5 and
one-half years of active reserve
duty entailing 48 weekly reserve
meetings per year plus 2 weeks of
active duty each summer.
The Army's program is open for
enlistment all year round, admit-
ting approximately 20,000 per year
currently. Army Reserve Head-
quarters in Pittsfield, for instance,
can admit an average of three per
month. The Boston Marine Re-
serve District admits two a month.
For the last half of 1957, the Ar-
my six month quota was 11,900,
See Page 6, Gol. 2
buted most of the fall-off in busi-
ness to a decline in inventory in-
vestment.
Attiyeh expressed concern over
the lack of technical innovations
on the horizon, but he believed
certain built-in stabilizers (e. g.
unemployment benefits) would
help to keep consumption up.
Conklin drew a chuckle from
the audience with his slightly
slanted political views concerning
the government's monetary and
fiscal policies. He said he expected
a tax cut and additional spending
by the government in the near fu-
ture.
Social Problems
Despres offered the view that
our society has to face certain
problems in the near future such
as discrimination and defense. He
added to the.se two questions the
clioice that America has to make
of the goal toward which we will
direct our tremendous wealth.
Further comments by the Ec-
onomics Department chairman re-
vealed his belief that the Ameri-
cane economy had been on the
downhill ever since 1955 when the
Administration introduced certain
tax benefits connected with in-
vestment in industrial expansion.
The current problem of overpro-
duction has resulted.
Entry-Reps Chosen
The new Freshman Council
which met last week to outline
plans included officers Bob
Montgomery (president), Keck
Jones (sec-treas), and Tom Fox
(CO rep). New entry represen-
tatives are: E. Widmer, D.
Bradlet, G. Reath, J. Simons,
J. Kohn, J. Staples (Sage); D.
Verville, D. Beckler, W. Floyd.
T. Allen, B. Zeiders, Mayer

Dlvely (Lehman).
Holyoke Resolves
Liberal Arts Aid
The Mount Holyoke chapter of
the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors has sent to Mas-
sachusetts Senators Leverett Sal-
tonstall and John Kennedy a re-
solution calling for more liberal
arts programs in U. S. aid to edu-
cation.
The resolution warned against
the lack of flexibility of "narrow-
ly educated specialists ... in an era
of swift scientific advancement
and social change." It questions
the wisdom of an exclusive stress
on science and mathematics in
education, and asked for inclusion
of liberal arts colleges as well as
technological institutions in the
federal program for education.
"Free People Live Freely"
David J. Holden, associate pro-
fessor of music at Mt. Holyoke,
drafted the resolution. Copies have
been sent to college and university
chapter presidents of the AAUP,
and the resolution has been re-
ferred to the resolutions committee
of the AAUP.
It asks that any plans for fed-
eral aid to education "be widened
to embrace provisions for these
and for the study of all other
liberal subjects which teach a free
people to live freely in a free so-
ciety."
response to three other proposals
included in a questionnaire which
had been submitted to the faculty
in conjunction with the Gargoyle
investigation.
Gargoyle evaluated the results
to proposals concerning: 1) a
change to place "matters concern-
ing 'plagarism' under the juris-
diction of the Honor System," 2)
"the problem of instructors giv-
ing identical examinations (or
parts of examinations) in succes-
sive years and whether this was
considered a violation of the spirit
of the Honor System," 3) the
question of whether copies of ex-
aminations and hour tests should
be collected at the end of an ex-
amination, and 4> the right of
teachers in 19-20 courses to give
hour examinations which were
one and one-half hours long.
Plagiarism
The report concluded that "its
major concern" was the possibili-
ty of extending the Honor Sys-
tem to include plagiarism, which
is currently judged by the faculty
and Dean. The senior society sug-
gested, regardless of the outcome
of its plagiarism proposal, that
teachers carefully explain, at the
beginning of eacli term, the man-
ner in which papers should be
written.
After a discussion with faculty
and among themselves, the mem-
bers of the Gargoyle sub-commit-

three-day run of the first act of
Ben Johnson's "Volpone."
The first act of this 17th cen-
tury comedy portrays the efforts
of a lawyer, merchant and an old
man (all represented as predatory
birds) to extract money from Vol-
pone (symbolized as a crafty box)
and his servant.

By Ted Castle
The College Council Monday de-
feated a proposal that it recom-
mend to the Junior Adviser Selec-
tion Committee the choice of one
J. A. from each fraternity. The
pi-oposal, originally appearing last
week in the RECORD, was de-
feated 7-4, with one abstension.
The Council instead expressed
a vote of confidence in the prin-
ciple of JA selection chiefly by
the individual merit of candidates.
The intention in this substitute
measure was to give notice that the
members recognize the practical
functions of the Junior Advisers
in the fraternity system as well as
the desirability of allowing the
committee complete freedom from
official pressure in making their
selections. The vote was eight af-
firmative and five abstensions.
Accompanying discussion on the
JA questions was a debate on CC
expressions of opinion. Dean Vin-
cent M. Barnett, Jr.. said, "The
CC can express an attitude on any
subject that affects the welfare of
the College as a whole." The mem-
bers agreed informally. The Dean
indicated that questioning CC jur-
isdiction was an attempt to "dodge
a tough issue."

"PLAGIARISM": UNCLEAR
The Garj^oyle proposal to iiicliiclc" ])laj;;iarisin
within the jurisdiction ol tlic Honor System is a
rather frrandiose attempt to make integrity an ob-
lijratiou rather than a convenienee.
The very word phigiarism", hke "immoral-
ity" or "dishonesty", defies definition.
Gargoyle's suggested inteipretation of the
word— "to pass off as one's own tlie words, ideas,
or work of another"— would be virtually inapplic-
able to practical circiunstance.
What undergraduate student could honestly
state that he would not infringe upon "the words,
ideas, or work of another" wlien tlie essence of his
liberal education is the correlation of recommend-
ed words and ideas with his indj\idual intellect?
On the other hand, those whose intentions
are dishonest would jDrobably sign the pledge and
gain protection for their ijlagiarism from the as-
sumption of imiocence which Gargoyle advances
as an advantage of its )Dro]Dosal.
Cheating on an examination is definite. Eith-
er you do or you don't. The issue is immediate
and clear-cut. The Honor System works because
the individual is sure of his ground.
Plagiarism, however, is indefinite. It admits
to wide differences of inter]5retation. The Honor
System would not work because there eoidd be
no precise standards of judgment.
The issue of academic integrity will always
be a matter of personal discretion and, imfor-
tunately, convenience.
CC CONSERVATISM
The very fact that the College Council dis-
cussed the issue of fA selection at their Mon-
day meeting was an affii'mativc action.
Bringing the question of equal JA repre-
sentation into the open gives even more incen-
tive to the Selection Committee to chose a JA
from every house.
The Record regrets, however, that the Coun-
cil took such an equivocal stand.
Their "vote of confidence " on the principle
of Junior Adviser selection chiefly by the incUvi-
dual merit of candidates failed to meet the ]5ro-
blem of an actual and (at present) imfair con-
nection between Junior Advisers and rushing.
At first Council members voiced doubt that
the CC had any "constitutional right" to review
the problem.
Ne.xt they turned discussion of a straightfor-
ward, une(|uivocal nro]50sal into a confused arti-
culation of the ideals of the JA system. They felt,
it seemed, that by denying the fact of a JA-rush-
ing relationship they could make it non-existent.
Finally they passed a vote of confidence
which dodged the issue altogether.
"New faces and new ideas" do not seem to
destroy the continuity of timid conservatism.
Obviously A Misconception
B(/ Bill Areiid
The letter addressed to the Record by Mr
Benjamin C. Foster and Mr. Eugene J. Johnson,
III, in criticism of my article of February 19, 1958
bases its criticism on misinterpretations and mis-
conceptions of my article.
I write this article not to indulge in seman-
tics with these two men but to clear the air con-
cerning these misconceptions, and possibly to
ferret out what these men feel is the real situa-
tion at Wilhams.
I was not denying any man's opinion as "va-
lid" in my article, but termed the views pre-
sented by the Princeton Seniors in the February
17th issue of LIFE as "uncomplimentary" to
Princeton or to any liberal education institution.
1 recognize the validity of any man's opinion and
1 hope that Messrs. Foster and Johnson, 111, re-
cognize the validity of mine. 1 maintain that an
attitude which considers this Princeton man
"snobbish" is one which is valid, strong in deino-
cratic America today, and more typical of the
Williams undergraduates than some would de-
sire to admit.
Nowhere in my article did 1 state that con-
ditions of discrimination no longer exist on the
Williams campus. No one even remotely ac-
quainted witli tlie fraterjiity system ou tliis cam-
|)us would be foolish euouj^h to state that tlie
conditions ol traternity selection are entirely
democratic; 1 stated tliat tlie discrimination is-
sue liad been "met and resolved '. Webster do-
luies resolved as meaning "disentangled", "ex-
plained", "reduced by analysis , or "determined
upon , which is exactly what tlie Piiillips Report
and President Baxters resultant letter did to tlic
discrxiiiiiiatiou issue, and wliicli condition is many
steps ahead of tlie present situation at Princeton.
The claim tliat total opportunity has existed
at Princeton is a tacit acceptance ot tlie "so|)liis-
try ' so typical at Old Nassau, described by John
AicNees in an aiticle in the Harvard Criiiisoii oi
I'i'iday, I'ebruary 21:
(One club gave bids to everyone, as
iiiey do every year. ) Tiieretore m etfect
every so|jlioinore got a bid . . . Therefore
any Sopnomore wanting to join a club
could nave . . . Therefore one-liuiidi"ed
percent.
1 reter Messrs. I'oster and Jolmson, HI, to tliis
article to compare Bicker at Princeton with Rush
at WiUiains. liie obvious differences and advan-
tages ill the Williams system as well as tlie dif-
lerences iii student attitude at tlie two seiiools are
dieii evident.
1 postulate a iioriii which 1 believe to be
characteristic of the largest number of tlie stu-
dents at Williams College today. Nowhere do 1
state that all Williams men must comply with
this norm of behavior, but that a large number
will indignantly defend then college agauist be-
ing equated witli Pihiceton.
1 would like to ask these gentlemen what
opinions they believe do or should prevail on diis
campus. Let us not veil our opinions with a fa-
cade ol criticism ami logic based upon faulty as-
sunipiiou and misconception. Do discrimination
auu selectivity jjlay as large a role in fraternity
membership today as they did tliirty years ago?
Are Williams students becoming more tolerant
and unselfish? Was total opportunity at Williams
a sham, merely an attempt, or was it a stiong,
concerted drive supported by the majority of tlie
students?
1 will recognize die validity of tliese gen-
tlemen's o])inions but 1 cannot recognize die
validity of their criticism because it is based on
misconception. Such techniques can be termed
"red-herring", designed to obscure the general
meaning of my article.
State your opinions. 1 would like to believe
that if my requests were answered, my reward
would be something more desirable than "smok-
ed-out herring".
Letters To The Editor
WOHABE POSTSCRIPT
To the RECoim:
1 would like to comment briefly on the ar-
ticle in your iiews]japer by Abdul Wohabe and
the accompanying editorial.
Mr. Wohabe's article is, as you say, "not a
dispassionate analysis" of Arab nationalism. The
obstacles to unity are real. One might ask Mr.
Wohabe what he means by the "Arab peo]jle".
Turks and Iranians do not speak Arabic, although
they are Muslims; Lebanon is half Christian;
Egypt looks back to the glories of a civilization
far older than Islam.
It would be a mistake, however, to brush a-
side Mr. Wohabe's comments on the U.A.R. as
mere cliches of a "nationalist religion", or to
assume that internal diffrences will keep the
Middle East conveniently divided. The history of
the Middle East since 1799-the year Napoleon
invaded Egypt— bears testimony to the power-
ful impact of the longing for unity as a determ-
ining factor in relations with the West. The aims
may be "oversimplified", but no movement with
any mass appeal can be expected to deal in the
subtleties of a political science class at Williams.
Are we afraid of unity in the Middle East?
Will a unified Arab nation force us to make an
"agonizing reappraisal" of our relations with Is-
rael? These are the real c|uestions, and 1 think
that our diplomats— and our newspaper editors-
can spend their time more profitably if they
stop trying to convince themselves and others
that "it will never happen". Remember all those
old British hands who said that Nasser would be
unable to keep the Suez Canal in operation? Let
us not repeat their mistake.
Monroe Hawkins '54
Editor's Note: Mr. Hawkins' point is well-
made, hut it re-enforces the RECORD'S editorial.
It does not eontradict it.
Hardly "hru.^hinrr aside" Wohabe's comments
on the U.A.R., we called them "disturbinfihi
strong." The "nationalist religion" which Woha-
be's article reflects, we said, "cannot he forgot-
ten" by U. S. policymakers if they are to take
effective action in this most dynamic area of tlie
world.

SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 2
Though this column is intended solely as a vehicle for well-
tempered drollery, the makers of Marlboro have agreed to let
me use this sijace from time to time for a sliort lesson in science.
They are the most decent and obliging of men, the makers of
Marlboro, as anyone can tell from sainijling their product. Only
from bounteous hearts could come such a lot to like— such filter,
such flavor, such flip-top box. Thefilter works; the flavor pleases ;
the l)ox (irotccts. Who can resist such a winning combination?
Surely not I.
JUeJicwe C^ be ^(Lt^ !
Today let us take up the science of medicine, which was in-
vented in lO(if) l)y a Greek named Hippocrates. He .soon gathered
around him a grou]) of devoted disciples whom he called
"doctors." The rea.son he called tlieni "doctors" was that they
spent all tlieir time sitting around the duck and shooting the
breeze. In truth, there was little else for them to do because
disease was not invented until 1477.
.\fter that, doctors I lecame very busy, but it must l)e admitted
that their knowledge of medicine was lamentably meagre. They
knew only one tre.'itmont—a change of climate. For example,
a French doctor would send all his patients to Switzerland.
A Swiss doctor, on the other hand, would send all his patients
to l'"ranee. By 1789 the entire population of France was living
in Switzerland, and vice versa. This later became known as the
Black Tom Explosion.
Not until 1924 did medicine, as we know it, come into being.
In that year in tlie little Bavarian village of Pago-Pago an
elderly physician named Winko Sigafoos discovered the hot
water bottle. He was, of course, burned as a witch, but his son
T,ydia, disguised as a linotype, made his way to America where
he invented the Mayo Brothers.
Medicine, as it is taugiit at your very own college, can be
divided rouglily into two classifications. There is internal medi-
cine, which is the treatment of interns, and external medicine,
which is the treatment of externs.
Diseases also fall into two broad categories— chronic and
acute. Chronic disea.se is, of course, inflammation of the chron,
whicli can be mighty painful, lielieve you me ! Last summer ray
cousin Haskell was stricken with a chron attack while he was
out lacking up tinfoil, and it was months before the wretched
boy could straighten u]). In fact, even after he was cured,
Haskell continued to walk around lient over doul)le. This went
on for several years liel'ore Dr. Caiigari, the lovable old country
practitioner who treats lliiskell, discovered that Huakell had
bis trousers buttoned to liis vest.
Two years ago Ha.skell had Addison's disea.se. (Addison, curi-
ously enough, had Haskell's.) Poor Haskell catches everything
tliat comes along. Lovable old Dr. Caiigari once said to him,
"Son, I guess you are what they call a natural born catcher."
"The joke is on you, Doc," replied Haskell. "I am a third
ba.semen." He thereujion fell into such a fit of giggling that the
doctor had to put him under sedation, where he is to this day.
But I digress. We were discussing medicine. I have now told
you all I can; the rest is up to you. Go over to your med school
and poke around. Bring popcorn and watch an operation. X-ray
each other. Contribute to the bone liiuik . . . And remember,
medicine can be fun!

Washington Internships
Available For Juniors
Applications are now being tak-
en by Mr. Plynt from any Junior
interested in a government in-
tern position this summer in
Washington.
Last summer six Juniors parti-
cipated in this program, designed
to give future citizens an idea of
the working of the U. S. govern-
ment from fir.st-hand experience,
Joe Borus, Don Conklin. Dave
Grossman, and Dave Phillips spent
the summer in the offices of
their Congressional Representa-
tives. Sam Jones and Paul Klotz
found jobs on Senate and House
committees.
One Intern receives a minimum
of $250, while others selected are
offered assistance from the Mead
Fund which loans them the money
on a long-term basis. These grants
are given to help cover the stu-
dent's living expenses, as their po-
sitions as interns are non-paying.
Among the tasks of the interns
were research for various projects
of their Congressmen and writing
articles for publications. One of
the more pleasant jobs was rep
resenting their Congressmen at
various Embassy cocktail parties.
The interns spent time at Com-
mittee hearings and investigations,
among which was the hearing in-

Meyers To Give
Lecture On Logic
Professor Gerald E. Meyers will
discuss informal and formal logic
in a lecture, "Logic and Reality",
which will be given in the Biology
lab Thursday.
The lecture is the sixth in a
series of eight lectures, sponsored
by the Williams faculty.
At present Meyers is working on
a book concerned with aesthetics
as seen from a philosophical
viewpoint.
Informal vs. Formal
During his lecture Meyers will
show that formal or mathematical
logic cannot justify .statements a-

t()m|5()sed most of the incidental music used in AMT productions
over the past three years. He con-
ducted the Berk.shire Community
Orchestra in hLs prelude for Ib-
sen's "Wild Duck" last year, and
he played the violin, zither, accor-
dian and guitar in the AMT pro-

Banks played the organ In

Creativity at Williams
"No one can dispute the value,"
says Banks, of Williams' creative
liicilities (Art Museum, AMT).
"If I had to single out one weak-
ness it would be the amount of
student support which creative
activities on campus receive in
comparison with other extra-cur-
riculars."
Banks regrets this lack of sup-
port. He notes the "growing reali-
zation on the part of industry and
business that imagination inform-
ed not only by academic curricu-
lum but also by creative disci-
plines— which can only be learned
through participation — are inval-
uable a.ssets in positions of re-

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1958
Eph Hockey Defeats AlC, Amherst;
Finish Season With 9-W-l Record
By Joe Wheelock
Six goals by the production
line, Dave Cook, Rich Lombard
and Dave Wood, led the scoring
for Williams as the varsity hockey
team outhustled the Amherst six
Saturday to gain an 8-6 decision
on the Orr rink.
Cook opened the scoring at 0:28
seconds of the first period on a
feed from Al Erb and then dupli-
cated the trick at 2:09, before
Amherst could organize a rush.
The Jeffs wasted little time in
getting back in the game as Mc-
Lean batted a rebound past goalie
Denny Doyle.
At 1:52 of the second period
Amherst tied the score at 2-2 but
Richie Lombard's first goal at
2:59 gave Williams a leaf', it never
relinquished.
Jim Fisher and Woody Burgert
each registered to run the lead to
5-2 before McLean added the sec-
ond of his three goals. A goal by
Shoctman made it 5-4 as the
period ended.
Two goals by Dave Wood and
Lombard's second goal put the
game on ice in the thii'd period
despite McLean's third goal.
A. I. C. Defeated
In a Thursday game at Spring-
field the Williams varsity hockey
team emerged victorious over A.
I. C. by a 5-0 score.
DAVE WOOD, senior right wine,
who closed out his career on Sat.
with two goals against Amherst.
DriscoU opened the scoring with
an unassisted shot at 4:40 of the
first period. He was followed by
Lombard and Wood in the same
stanza to bring the total to 3-0.
The second period was scoreless.
At 10:19 of the third period Lom-
bard scored his second of the
night. Cook came back eight
minutes later to score his first
goal and boost the lead to 5-0.
Denny Doyle had 28 saves.

Last Minute Goal
To Beat Amherst
Last week the Freshman Hockey
squad picked up two more wins to
run their season's record to an
impressive 6-1-1. They have one
game remaining with Williston
Academy.
Thursday, Williams took a close
3-2 decision from the A. I. C. frosh
on a goal in a sudden death over-
time by George Lowe with an as- j
sisl by captain Larry Hawkins, j
Two early goaLs were scored by
Hawkins, and wing Larry Reine-
man, before the AIC attack picked
up in the second period to tie the
game at 2-2.
In their traditional encounter
with Amherst Saturday the Eph i
Frosh had to come from behind
in the last ten minutes to win 4-3. 1
A long shot from the blue line by
John Whitney gave Williams an-
other of their seven athletic wins
over the weekend.
After a goal by George Lowe
early in the game Amherst opened
up a 3-1 lead. Lowe and Reineman
combined with a goal apiece to tie
it up before Whitney's clincher
with three and a half minutes left
in the final period. Lowe ended a
successful week with three goals.
A win over Williston will com-
plete the most successful Frosh
season in recent years.

Frosh Muirmen Win
Forecasting future promise, the
Eph frosh swimming squad fin-
ished a highly successful season
Saturday by trouncing the Jeff
freshmen 53-20 at Amherst. This
win brought the team the Little
Three championship.
Once again the names to note
were co-captains Buck Robinson,
Neil Devaney, and Terry Allen.
Breaking his own Williams fresh-
man record, Robinson won the 100
yard breaststroke event in 1:09.9.
Robinson also beat teammate
Mike Dively to win the 50 yard

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Roy Vaughn (left) discusses a central office power installation with Switchman R.F. Heider.
"I like (and get) 'start-to-finish'
engineering assignments"
"When it comes to making a job inter-
esting, I think the assignments a man
gels are more important than the size
of the project he's working on," says
Roy Vaughn of Illinois Bell Telephone
Com|)any. "I found that out soon after
I gradualed. My first job was with an
organization where the projects were big,
but the individual engineering assign-
ments lacked variety and scope.
"After this experience I looked over
power engineering opportunities in a
number of companies. I joined Illinois
Bell because it promised the most inter-
esting and challenging work. That was
three years ago. My work with IBT has
everything that I was looking for.
"My job is to engineer the power re-
quirements for telephone central offices.
The work never gets routine. One job
may be for a new building, the next for
expanding existing |)lant. And power
needs vary tremendously from little rural
dial ofTices serving a h:w hundred tele-
phones, to big motroijolilan telephone
plants serving hundreds of thousands.
"But what I like best is that I generally
handle the job from start to finish. I de-
termine the operational and emergency
power requirements of the facilities to
be served, and order the equipment
needed. And I'm usually on hand during
installation to see the job through.
"Not only does this kind of engineer-
ing assigimicnt keep work interesting,
but I find it is helping me become a
better manager. And that improves my
chances for advancement."

after the five minute rest period,
hammered away at Pratt's back-

In the JV matches, the varsity

the number one position, lost to
Tulchin in three games. The only
other three game matches were
won by Tom White and Mike Pen-

dropped its first four matches as
the visitors, Amherst, walked off
with a 6-3 victory and the Little

The team got off to a poor
start as Brian, Leathers, Logic,
and Hodges were defeated, all in
less than five games.
Bill Buck, playing at number
five, lost his first two games, but
came back to win his match and
give Williams its first victory.
Fred Kasten and Ronnie Pish won
for Williams. The Fi-eshmen end-
ed their campaign with a 1-5 rec-
ord, the only win coming from
Wesleyan.
Ephs Conquered
By Sahrina Five;
Little Three Tied
By Jan Rozcndaal
The Williams bid for undisputed
Little Three basketball supremacy
fell short Saturday when the Ephs
dropped a 69-58 decision to Am-
herst on the winners' court. Su-
perior rebounding and the scoring
of Bill Warren with 20 points en-
abled the Jeffs to avenge their
earlier loss to the Ephs at Wil-
liamstown.
Morton Stopped
The first half saw the Jeffs
grab a ten point lead which they
maintained through the second
iialf of play to gain a tie for the
Little Three championship. While
the Amherst defense was holding
Eph high scorer Jeff Morton to a
lotal of only two points in the
lirst half, the driving of Pete Jen-
kins, the outside scoring of sopho-
moie Bob Madgic and the fine
shooting of Warren enabled the
Sabrinas to break an early 18-18
tie and gain a 34-24 half time
lead.
Bob Parker, high man for the
Purple with 15, and Morton, who
began to score in the second half
to end up with 12 points, led the
Eph attack in the second half as
the Ephs kept pace with Amherst
but the damage was done. The
ball handling of Madgic and the
rebounding of Warren and Lee
Lindeman never allowed the Pur-
ple to narrow the gap to less than
six points.
Ephs Press
With three minutes to go Wil-
liams went into a full court press
but this has not been an effective
weapon for the Ephs this year and
the Jeffs maintained their lead to
gain the victory. The loss closed
out the season for both teams and
gave the Ephs a 9-11 mark for
the year. Both Williams and Am-
herst hold 3-1 records in Little
Three competition.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1958
Educators Meet
For Conference
Twenty-seven New England ed-
ucators from Amherst, Wesleyan,
Bowdoin, Dartmouth and Wil-
liams met in Middletown. Conn.,
last week for the fifteenth annual
Pentagonal Conference.
Representing Williams at the
three-day discussion sessions were
President James P. Baxter III,
Dean Vincent M. Barnctt, Dean
of Freshmen William G. Cole, Di-
rector of Admissions Frederick C.
Copeland and Treasurer Cliiu'lc,<
A. Foehl.
Barnett pointed out that the
conference discussions ( 1 ) "tend
to develop the awareness that we
all have the same problems" and
(2) "bring to our attention occa- ,
sional new ideas". Resolutions orj
specific recommendations are ne-
ver formulated, he emphasized.
Among the 42 topics proposed
for discussion, Dartmouth's new
three semester plan received the
most consideration. Amherst pro-
posed the topic "honor systems
and dishonesty".
Wesleyan suggested a discussion
of the status of students not af-
filiated with fraternities and re-
cent developments with respect to
selection practices of fraternities.
The effectiveness of Chapel and
Assembly programs and financial
control of non-athletic student or-
ganizations were other topics un-
der the student affairs category.
Jeffs Finally Achieve
Liberal Honor System
The Amherst Honor Code was
put into effect last week by the
Student Committee to the Faculty,
The new system, a compromise
between the strictly regulated and
absolutely free plans suggested,
features disciplinary action on
clieaters reported by fellow stu-
dents. Yet, it is the free choice
of the student to ignore cheating,
deal with it himself, or report the
cheater. No honor statement is
;equired.
Mitary . . .
but only 2,600 men over 18 and
one-half were admitted. 6,300
came from under the 18 and one-
half group and 3,000 high school
seniors who joined the program
were allowed to complete their
high school year.
Other six months enlistments
are in the Air Force, Coast Guard,
Na\y and Marines. These pro-
grams, however, are not open all
year round and the quotas are
extremely small. In any case, Mr.
Flynt recommends that those in-
terested should inquire now so as
to insure their chances of getting
into the programs when they
want to.
In adopting this form, the com-
mittee tried to come as close as
possible to "the social ideal of a
community bound together by the
voluntary cooperation of indivi-
duals rather than by threat of co-
ercive force," giving the greatest
possible freedom to both potential
cheater and potential informer.
Amherst has been under the
proctor-type system for thirty
years, and wary steps toward hon-
or had been made earlier hi the
year. Physics 22 was operated as
a test class on an honor system
last semester with inconclusive re-
sults; 25 per cent of the test stu-
dents thought there was or would
be cheating under the system.

Benedict Describes
'Storefront Churches'
The Reverend Donald Benedict,
pastor of the Inner City Protes-
tant Parish of Cleveland, spoke in
Sunday chapel on "Storefront
Churches in the Slums."
Benedict stressed the import-
ance of finding the "compulsion
of God" in choosing a vocation.
He argued that Americans no
longer seek God's will in choosing
a job and emphasized the need
for intelligent and eager doctors,
lawyers, and ministers to work in
the slums of the great cities. He [
also mentioned the anachronism 1
of slums in "the most highly pro-
ductive nation in the world."
British Art Critic
To Tdk Tonight
English art critic Eric Newton
will speak on "Opposition for the
Realist" 7:30 tonight in the Law-
rence Art Museum,
In the lecture Newton will con-
duct "an inquiry into the func-
tions of non-figurative painting
today." The lecture Is sponsored by
the Williams Lecture Committee.
Newton, presently art critic for
"Time and Tide", a London ma-
gazine, boasts an impressive cata-
logue of accomplishments. He is
presently lecturing at CambridKe
and was, at one time, art critic for
both the Manchester Guardian
and the London Times.
As a practicing artist Newton
was commissioned to do the mo-
' sales in the chapel of the Royal
Naval School at Suffolk, England.
Gargoyle . . .
tee on the Honor System, headed
by Jack Love '58, decided that
teachers should have the freedom
to "examine as they see fit."
The committee believed that the
spirit of the Honor System was
"damaged" by courses which re-
peated exams or exam questions
and suggested that exams be made
available to all students at the
Stetson Library and/or the prac-
tice of collecting exams, especially
of the objective type, be estab-
lished at Williams.

and should be fully constructed by
January I, 1960.
The project was begun in 1950
after North Adams had suffered
two major disasters in 1949 and
1950. These floods were due to high
winds and rain, much like the
coastal hurricane flood of 1955.
Object of the construction Is to
give the river running through
North Adams "a very high velo-
city" in order to lessen the danger
of flooding in congested areas of
the river. This is to be accomplish-
ed by giving the water a concrete
bottom as well as "chute" type
banks to lessen the normal friction
over the river bed.
As Milette outlined the plan,
levees and chutes are to be con-
structed from Union Street in N.
A. as far west as the Sprague
Electric Co.
Only one of the five major
floods that North Adams has sus-
tained in the past thirty years has
been due to thawing snow and
rain. Engineer Milette commented.
That was in 1936, and the present
program is capable of handling up
to 50 per cent more water than
has been sent through the sys
tern In the past eight years.
As to how many of the 18 mil-
lion government dollars are flow-
tag into depression-riddled North
Adams, Mr. Milette could only
Kuess.
Forged Check Found;
2nd Dishonesty Case
Forgery has replaced book thiev-
ery as the most recent unsolved
crime at Williams.
College Police Chief George A.
Royal received a report this week
that a check was recently forged
and drawn on a student's bank ac-
count. "The student had lost a
set of personalized checks," said
Royal, "and apparently someone
thought that he could forge the
printed name on the checks and
make a little extra money."
No definite leads have,
been uncovered.
as yet.
The forgery case follows close
on the heels of a series of book-
stealing felonies which netted a-
bout sixty textbooks from the
Freshman Quad. In view of these
occurrences, Chief Royal warned
undergraduates to be on the alert
tor crime. "Dishonesty here is
sporadic," he said, "but it's not
uncommon. The Students should
be aware of the problem."

disappointing," he said, "tliat pro-
bably less than half of the stu-
dents will buy the yearbook. In
order to maintain a yearbook of
quality, we must have strong stu-

Co-Editor Mack Hassler '59,
added that "given the problem of
weak student support, the only

Electrolysis Causes
Broken Service Pipe
Students sludging down Spring
Street this past week were avoid-
ing the gushing, dirty waters flow-
ing not only from the early snow
thaw but also from a broken ser-
vice pipe.
At a cost of at least $200 the
Williamstown Water Department
is replacing this 30-year-old pipe
which burst open on Monday. It
services the House of Walsh, Col-
lege Book Store, doctors' offices
and the bakery shop.
Mr. Charles S. Notsley, Water
Department head, explained that
the pipe had simply deteriorated
with age. "We are replacing it with
a copper one which should with-
stand the electrolysis effects caus-
ed by the underground electric
wires."
The fact that this pipe did de-
teriorate could mean that the
other pipes might give way soon.
Notsley said, however, that the de-
partment would do nothing until
signs of such breaking should ap-
pear.
The service pipe runs off a cast
iron main pipe put down in 1890
"There is little fear of this pipe
deteriorating," he said, "except if
the Joints give way."
"We've had particular trouble
working at this time of the year
because of the busy traffic of the
students and the over-abundant
snow fall," Notsley commented.
Colleges To Face
Population Crisis
Re-evaluation of educational
goals is not the only problem
which faces American colleges.
Concurrent witli the agonies of
reappraisal and continuing finan-
cial worries, U. S. schools must
somehow provide education for an
ever-increasing number of college
applicants.
Seven million applicants are ex-
pected by 1970, twice the number
estimated for 1960 and a figure
far outdistancing the numbers
who seek college education today.
Newsweek
In a recent Newsweek article
entitled "Who Should Go, Who
Shouldn't", Education Editor Her-
man R. Allen said; "educators
must devise new selection and ad-
mission methods so that every
qualified high school graduate has
a fair chance to earn a college de-
gree." In short, colleges must ex-
pand. They must open the door
to all.
Admissions Director Frederick
C. Copeland, in a Wednesday REC-
ORD interview, said, however, that
Williams could not be expected to
grow any larger with its present
facilities. He recalled that after
the war Williams added 200 stu-
dents to its rolls without expan-
sion of its facilities, and that the
college has had to absorb great
expense in order to accommodate
1000 students satisfactorily. Said
Copeland, "We have already ex-
panded."
"Perspective"
Concerning "new selection and
admission methods," the Williams
Admissions Director said that even
with the vast Increase in appli-
cants which will come after 1960,
"we hope to keep a perspective of
choosing students with a breadth

HAPPENS EVERY SPRING
Tsardom fell in the .sjjriiig. Cae.sar toppled
in the middle of March. At VVilliains, too, dull
roots are stirred hy sprinjr rain.
Snow turns to puddles. Afternoons are longer.
And grass grows wiiere heating pipes run under
the ground.
The college becomes restless.
Pohtical ferment, radical action, draw at-
tention away from classes.
Two years ago the freshman class— dissatis-
fied with Ba,\ter Hall food— laimched a vocifer-
ous protest against Student Union administra-
tors. That same sjjring freshmen signed a peti-
tion stating that they would not join fraternities
unless total opportunity were achieved.
Last spring fraternities were again the head-
lines. One house split wide open over the issue
of discrimination. Tlie Phillips Committee. And
the "Terrible Twenty-two" Plan to abolish fra-
ternities altogether.
As the snow melts, we wonder . . . Wliat
will happen this year?
LOGISM LOSES
Perhaps Williams "logism" is not hopeless.
Junior Class President Lennie Grey quipped
last week that "the college is too wrapped up in
the idea of Mark Ho))kins and his log— too much
log and no hmbs to crawl out on."
On Tuesday the SC crawled part way out on
a limb to face the problem of equal JA represen-
tation scjuarely. Tlie CC Monday had stayed on
the log.
The Social Council injected "make every ef-
fort" into the original RECORD proposal. Al-
though their clause had a weakening effect— and
at least two SC members understood this— their
proposal was at least a realistic one.
All comment has been made.
Now we look to the JA Selection Committee
for a practical solution of the problem.
YEARBOOK PLAN
The college camiot, it seems, support a year-
book. Gul editors foresee a $500 minimum defi-
cit this year.
Responsibility for this problem is difficult to
determine. The editors claim "weak student sup-
port." Others say that Gul subscription drives
have been neither energetic nor well-organized.
Yearbook deficits are, in any case, a continu-
ing phenomenon. And a good yearbook is neces-
sary to tlie college.
Williams should not, however, force every
student to buy the Gul. We recommend, then,
a plan:
Every student who has not stated to the col-
lege treasurer by October 15 tliat he does not
want a Gul should receive it automatically. The
cost should be added to his bill.
We look to the CC— now guardians of the
extra-curricular purse— for positive action on an-
other critical problem.
BEST SELLERS
By Ernie linhoff
"The average Williams undergraduate is so
shell-shocked by the reciuired texts thrown at
iiim and the diffusion of his social life that he is
positive he has all the books he needs and inore
than any mortal should be required to face."
A recent check with the two Sjiring Street
bookshops reveals an interesting application of
this comment by Ray Washburne to tlie extra-
curricular reading habits on the Williams cam-
pus.
While helping to promote this year's Uterary
consumption by "By Love Pos.sessed" and es-
])ecially "Peyton Place", the local student, it
seems, generally fosters no intimate relationship
between himself and the best-seller list.
Price
Book prices ( James Jones' "Some Came Run-
ning", $7.50 plus reviews; Max Lerner's "Ameri-
ca as a Civilization", $10.00 plus length) natural-
ly aid in constructing barriers to contemporary
works. Perhaps the formidable obstacles, simply
the lack of time and also interest after the usual
five course routine are the basic factors involved.
The local best-seller standings parallel fairly
consistently the national ratings (such as the
Times') for tlie first five or six places in both
the Fiction and General categories. After that
faculty and students have their own ideas.
"Bt/ Love Possessed"
The general clioice for varied buyers during
this academic year at the College and WilHams
Bookstores has clearly been Cozzens' "By Love
Possessed". A more recent favorite is Jean Kerr's
"Please Don't Eat the Daisies" while the Williams
student has of late found special pertinence in
Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" with the Beat
Generation.
Shulman's "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!", Tra-
ver's "Anatomy of a Murder" and Smith's "Wliere
Did You Go? Etc." are strong runners-up for all
reading contingents. Books such as Lerner's
"America", Parkinson's "Parkinson's Law", Cos-
tain's "Below the Salt" and "Baruch: My Own
Story" sold well around Christmas but have since
fallen off.
College Faculty publications still maintain-
ing respectable positions at the downtown stores
are: Professor Schuman's "Russia since 1917".
Professor Rudolph's "Mark Hopkins and the
Log", Professor Burns' "The Lion and the Fox",
and Professor Hunt's "Donne's Poetry".
Paperbacks
A recent boon to the book business suggested
by both Joe Dewey and Washburne has been the
pai^er editions which have made everything from
Nietzsche to Metallious financially and stylistic-
ally attractive.
Considering student extra-curricular reading,
Washburne noted that "probably not more than
15 per cent of the 1,000 fall into the category of
those reading merely in order to maintain their
membership in the enlightened college com
munity."
Evidently this 15 per cent group does not dote
on national best-sellers of the moment (except
on those such as above mentioned) but as both
stores observe, on Pound, Eliot, Yeats, the clas
sics largely through Edith Hamilton, selected
Modern Library titles and "the whole gamut of
art and thought" by way of the paperbacks.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1958
Wrestlers Prepare For Tourney;
Hutchinson, Wieneke Top Favorites
Eleven teams will compete for the New EuKland wrestlintr
cham|MOiishiiM this weekend at the Coast Guard Academy in
New London, Connecticut. Coaches Jim Ostendarp and Pete De-
lisser have been priming the team rigorously for the meet.
Williams hopes at least to retain the position of runner-iii)
which it won last year. The Ephmen have a 4-1-1 record this year
tlie only lo.ss coming at the hands of last year's New England
Champions, Springfield.
Senior Captain Jim Hutchinson
and junior Kuhrt Wieneke are un-
defeated this season and are fav-
orites in the 137-lb. and 147-lb.
classes respectively. Hutchinson
has defeated 1957 NE champ Rich
Dickey of Springfield and 1957
runnerup, Bob Imbrle of Coast
Guard. Wieneke, two time NE
champion, has not lost In two
years.
Three sophomores, Wally Matt
at 123-lbs., Stew Smith at 130-lbs„
and Steve Lewis at 157-lbs. have
4-1 records this year in New Eng-
land competition. Matt has lost
only to Bob Campane, 1957 Champ
from Springfield. Smith and Lewis
have also lost only to Springfield.
Senior Pete Carney will be the
Ephs' entry in the 167-lb. class.
Although he missed the Little
Three meets because of illness,
junior Dave Moore finished the
season with a 4-0 record. He is ex-
pected to finish high in the 177-
Ib.class. Junior Bob Hatcher, NE
heavyweight runner-up last sea-
son, has not wrestled a full match
this year. He suffered a dislocated
elbow in his first match and did
not wrestle until the Little Three,
in which he won two matches by
default.

Stafford To Lead
Squash Team In
Nationals At Yale
By Toby Smith
Williams closes out a successful
7-3 season this weekend with the
National Intercollegiate Singles
Championships at Yale. Playing on
the Eph four man team will be
Captain Ollie Stafford, Greg To-
bin, Roger Southall, and Tom
Shulman.
Coach Clarence Chaffee faces
stiff competition from eighteen
colleges and universities from the
U. S. and Canada. Last year Wil-
liams placed fifth.
Smith-Chapman Favored
Stafford will meet his principle
competition from John Smith-
Chapman of Sir George Williams
College (Montreal), Dick Hoehn of
Dartmouth, and John Griffiths of
Navy.
Shulman and Southall are both
veterans of last year's Intercolle-
giates, but Sophomore Greg To-
bin, second ranked Williams' play-
er, will be entering his first na-
tional competition.
Williams will also be fighting
for a third place national ranking
with Princeton. This ranking along
with the draw for the tournament
will have been decided Thursday
by a committee made up of
coaches from Yale, Princeton, and
Coach Chaffee.

Swimmers To Face Stiif Opposition
In Attempt To Retain N. E. Crown
The Williams varsity swimming team will defend its New
England Championship aj^ainst powerful Brown and Sjiringfield
at Amherst this weekend witli every indication of a fight to the
finish for the coveted winner's j^laque.
Coach Bob Muir notes that "Browii is the best on paper, but
it has been very close the last three years and we will make it
close again this vear, and wc could win."
Co-captains Barry Buckley and
Bob Severance will lead the team
against fourteen teams in the fi-
nals beginning at 2 p.m. Satur-
day. Captain-elect Chip Ide is ex-
pected to lead the team in the
score column, particularly in his
specialties, the 50 and 100 yard
freestyle. Ide has been high scorer
for the team's regular season.
Junior Don Lum will try to gar-
ner points in the distances where
Williams has previously been a
power. Severance will oppose
Brown's record holding Chapman
in the 100 butterfly while Henry
Tatem will face New England rec-
ord holder Plourde of Bowdoin in
the 200 yard backstroke.
Both relays are toss-ups between
Captain-elect CHIP IDE, Wil- Williams and Brown, so Williams
liams hopes in the 50 & 100 yard
freestyle.

Frosh Hockey Wins
Closing out a very successful 6-
1-1 sea.son, the Williams Freshman
Hockey team whipped a highly
touted Williston squad 10-1 at
Williams last Wednesday.
At tlie end of the first period
the score was 1-0 for Williams.
The goal came on a two on two
when Laurie Hawkins fed a pass
through to George Lowe.
In tlie next period Williams
opened up the game as the first
line began to click with Hawkins
and Lowe both scoring on break-
aways. Second line-wing Nick Oh-
ly also drilled one, and Defense-
man Jim White connected for his
first goal of the season.

lack of divers is likely to be a ma-
jor drawback in the Eph attempt
to win. Williams had a regular
season record of 6-1-1, an increase
of one win over last year.
Williams' fans should watch for
Brown to show strength, not only
in the relays and butterfly, but
also in the diving, where Coast
Guard may edge in, and in the
100 yard freestyle, where they may
place third. Should Brown fail to
meet expectations in these events
and the relays, Williams should
be able to take the lead though
Springfield, which Williams has
once defeated, will be on the Ephs'
heels in many events.

Student Profile
Scott '58 Given Grant
For Ec. Study Abroad
Economics iiiajoi |iin Scott '58, will leave next fall to spend
a year of stndy at the University of Rangoon in Burma. He is tlie
winner of one of tlic 113 Rotary International Fellowships awarded
to students from 80 countries.
He plans to take conrscs in economics and Burmese. On tlie
side he hopes to get permission to i
work for the American economic i 1 • •
mission in Burma.
Burma Study
Scott is doing his thesis on the
economic development of Burma
because he feels that Burma typi-
fies the underdeveloped countrie.s
of the world. He contrasted the
American and Russian approaches
to development. "The Russians
sacrifice people and culture to ra-
pid economic growth," he said,
"while Americans suggest making
small and gradual changes which
don't completely disrupt the cul-
ture."
He pointed out that underdevel-
oped countries don't care who they
get economic aid from as long as
they get it. "To underdeveloped
countries," he commented, "a steel
mill is the symbol of industrializa-
tion."
Scott believes that "the develop-
ing economic situation in Burma
will call for a strong, semi-social-
ized government because there
isn't enough private capital."
College Record
At Williams Scott has compiled
an impre.ssive record as a Phi
Beta Kappa, member of Gargoyle,
Junior Adviser and President of

.sions offices might be relieved by
greater emphasis on high school
guidance programs. Intelligent
counselling, could, he said, "help
to select those students who have
both a real interest In going to
college and ability to meet college
standards,"
While "inevitably there will be
more disappointments", Copeland
concluded, the tenor of education
might well be improved. Once ad-
mitted, the college student after
1960 will find less sympathy for
"coasting" because faculties will
realize that "there are others ap-
plying who are willing to work."

has held for the past year.
Though last year's winner, Ben
Heckscher of Harvard, has grad-

the competition was probably the
roughest ever assembled. Besides
Stafford, Chapman, and Griffiths,
the lower bracket contained such
names as Jim Parrin of Princeton,
Don Williams of Army, Gerry Em-

from Yale. The upper bracket was
well represented by Dick Hoehn,

The Hubbard Hutchison V
County Industries
Hit By Recession
Commenting on the general ec-
onomic situation in the Northern
Berkshire County area, the man-
ager of the North Adams Chamber
of Commerce stated that "we are
feeling our share of the general
recession, the textile industry and
government contractors being the
hardest hit."
The merchants on Spring Street
declared that they have felt no
great pinch due to the recession,
but said that a good deal of their
business comes from the college
community and thus is not greatly
affected. It was also pointed out
that a large segment of Williams-
town is not directly affected by
lay-offs in the mills in the rest
of the area.
Employment Down
Employment in the county has
reached its lowest point in ten
years, the number of unemployed
having risen to a total of 2860 in
January compared with 729 unem-
ployed during January of last
year.
The generally weak economic
condition of the area is reflected
in the statistics which showed a
decrease in retail trade of 2 per
cent as compared with a general
nation-wide rise of from 5 per cent
to 6 per cent in relation to the
retail trade of the previous year.
In spite of the large federal flood
control project, the general con-
struction trades have been having
hard times.
Brigrht Spots
There are, however, a few bright
spots in the economic overcast.
Despite the fact that such large
concerns as Sprague Electric have
laid off an unusually large number
of workers, a general upturn in
government contract business is
anticipated due to the increase in
defense spending.
Three Leave Houses;
Raise Selectivity Issue
"Institutionalized selectivity" in
the Williams fraternity system
caused three students to resign
from their fraternities last week.
The three, Mac Hassler '59, Don
Morse '58, and Steve Rose '58, stat-
ed that selectivity, as manifested
in "rushing", is harmful both to
those doing the selecting and to
those being selected, and that the
present manifestations of selec-
tivity in the Williams fraternity
system "must eventually be abol-
ished."
'61 To Sponsor
Spring Weekend
The College Council Monday
night approved a surprise bid by
Bob Montgomery, president of '61,
for the sponsorship of spring
houseparties.
The offer was made as a result
of the Council's reluctance to
sponsor the weekend itself through
the new Houseparty Committee
(John Mangel '59, chairman). Un-
der the provisional CC sponsorship
established last week by President
Jack Hyland, Harry Marshard's
orchestra of Boston has been con-
tracted for Friday's Baxter Hall
dance at $1600. Phinney's Favorite
Five will play in the Freshman
Lounge for $250.
The Council accepted recom-
mendations to establish the CC
Committee on Finance (CCF) to
replace the SAC in formulating the
annual extra-curricular budget
and college tax. White '59, chair-
man.
Other Action
HOUSEPARTY COMMITTEE -
authorized wide discretionary pow-
ers to decide the amount of profit
a sponsor may make from house-
parties but stressed that money-
making Is not a major purpose of
weekends. Assumed financial re-
sponsibility for fall pep rallies, the
cost to be applied to houseparty
tax. estimate $.10.
Campus opinion on the re-
signations ranged from com-
plete sympathy to furious in-
dignation. Fee page three for
the complete statement of the
resignees, and sferal resulting
opinions.
Following the announcement of
the resignations Wednesday night,
a "hoax" notice in Thursday's Ad-
visor caused Jared Rardin '59, to
schedule an informal panel dis-
cussion for that evening.
"Congressional Hearing"
Presenting the viewpoint of the
three resignees to a crowd of over
150 in the tense atmosphere of a
"Congressional hearing" were Has-
sler and College Chaplain William
Coffin.
Coffin attributed the existence
of "unlikeable people" in part to
"I'ejection" on the part of their
fellows. He observed that the at-
titude of fraternities toward these
men "is apt to be diametrically op-
posed to the cure indicated".
Coffin also stated that "unless
we learn to like a wider variety
of people, we are not fulfilling our
potentialities". Selectivity in the
fraternity system, he said, "leads
to a more narrow selection of as-
sociates".
Special "Tower" Issue
News of the resignations fli-st
reached the student body through
a special issue of the "Tower", the
publication of the Williams Col-
lege Chapel.
Liberal Magazine
Issues Challenge
Appearing this week in its sec-
ond issue is the new student lit-
erary magazine REFERENDUM,
"an open forum of campus opin-
ion."
The editoi's have issued a chal-
lenge to tlie con.servatives on the
Williams campus by accusing them
of apathy. REFERENDUM has in-
vited "anyone who has a conser-
vative point of view to take time
out from playing bridge or the
stock market — or even squash or
polo — "to submit an article for
publication.
The tabloid, edited by Sopho-
mores John Woodruff, George Aid,
and J. E. Brash, is a collection of
various student and faculty opin-
ions on current topics. Included in
this second issue are articles by
Aid and Brash.

of unusual creativity in art, mu-
sic, or writing, went to music hon-
ors major Ridgeway Banks. The
fellowship, good for two years
study at any graduate school, is
not awarded every year but was
given to Banks this year on the
basis of the promise which his
original compositions have shown.
Students Go To Oxford
Two students, Karl Hir.schman
and Stuart Crampton, will go to
Ensland to study at Oxford.
Hirschman, an English major, re-
ceived the John Edmond Moody
Fellowship which is awarded to
the senior who displays outstand-
ing creativity, broad intellectual
ability, and a wide range of inter-
ests. Crampton, with a Wilson
Fellowship, established in memoi'y
of John E. Wilson '44. will spend
two years studying physics.
The Horace F. Clark Awards
went to Tom Kellogg and Harold
Metzgar on the basis of general
ability and interest in .scholarly
research. Kellogg plans to study
philosophy while Metzgar will spe-
cialize in the field of political sci-
ence.
Also contributing to the pub-
lication is Woodrow Wilson Pro-
fessor of Government Frederick L.
Schuman in an article entitled
"Wanted: An American Foreign
Policy". Schuman's effort follows
a contribution by Professor James
MacGregor Burns, which appeared
in the first of REFERENDUM'S ■
bi-monthly issues. '
Dean Barnett, commenting on
the winners, said, "Although the
selection proved vei^y difficult at
certain points, the committee feels
that its decisions have produced
an outstanding group of fellowship
winners." The Hutchison award is
worth $6,000, or $3,000 per year,
and the other fellowships range
between $600 and $1500.
Baxter To Lecture On
FDR, Stalin, Churchill
Piesideiit James Phinney Ba.xter, HI will eontiiiue his current
lecture series tonij^ht at 7:30 in jesu]-) Hall when he speaks on,
"Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin."
The two remainiiif^ lectures of Pri'sideiit Baxter's series are
"Diplomacy in the Atomic Age"
and "The Outlook Before Us." Tlie
threads that have served to tie
this series together have been the
relationship between force and
policy in American diplomatic his-
tory, the balance of power, and
the turn of this country from iso-
lationism to a loose coalition of
the free world.
Bissonette Cites Few
Changes After Stalin
Record Notice
In spite of a recent statement
to the contrary, the RECORD
will be sold after spring vaca-
tion in the Snack Bar and in
Spring Street newsrooms as
usual.
Popular demand has forced a
reversal of the decision to dis-
continue sale of individual cop-
ies.
The RECORD will appear
for the last time before vaca-
tion on Friday, March 21.
Speaking on "Russia Since Sta-
lin" in North Adams Sunday
night. Father George Bissonette,
American Chaplain in Moscow
from 1953 to 1955. concentrated on
the illusion of change created in
Russia after Stalin's death.
Most of the great reforms, such
as the promise to reorganize the
Soviet economy in favor of more
consumers' goods and the decision
to allow criticism and printing of
scandal, turned out to be merely
"window dressing," he said.
Yet the Soviet leaders, Bisso-
nette concluded, may have gone
farther than they thought in pre-
senting all this "window dressing."
Krushchev's recent advocation of
regionalized rather than central-
ized industry, and the announced
suppression of the motor-tractor
stations, may be steps in a direc-
tion from which it will be hard to
return.
President Baxter's first lecture
was concerned with the origins of
the isolationist policy followed by
the U. S. until World War I. He
pointed out that today products of
modern science such as the ICBM
make this policy impossible.
His next two lectures dealt with
expansion and the imperialism of
our country. He demonstrated to
those who would be overly proud
or moralistic that America used
unscrupulous methods of gaining
territory in much the same way
as other countries do today.
The two most recent lectures
provided some enlightenment on
U. S. policies in the two world wars
when the United States was forced
to Join the loose coalition of free
world nations.

LEST WE FORGET
When three people left trateniities last week
discussion erupted throuj^h the campus.
By Saturday the discussion waned. On Sun-
day the issue was dead.
When the three men resigned Thursday as
a Christian protest aj^ainst selectivity, they pub-
lished their Apoloj^ia in the College Chapel's
newsletter, "The Tower " (see jiage 3).
For each the decision was a difficult and
lonely one. Each liked his fraternity. Each faced
a personal strugffle. Whether to commit one-
self to a principle and to act on it is never easy
to decide. And by the time they resigned, terms
had become ill-defined.
We do not agree that resignation is the most
realistic way to cure the ills of the fraternity
system.
Although selectivity is not necessarily wrong,
tlie criteria upon which men are judged during
rushhig are often unjustified and unsound. Fra-
ternities can encourage anti-intellectualism,
which counteracts the high standards of educa-
tion handed out in the classroom. And the "fra-
ternity spirit" is often narrow, a sense of pros-
perous complacency anachronistic to a world
surrounded— as a Russian refugee recently put
it— by a dead dog.
Yet the best place to combat these ills is
within the houses, not in Baxter Hall. The fra-
ternities are a social organization which is dif-
ficult—without considerable amounts of money—
to effectively destroy. So one must work within
them to make them as good as possible.
We hope, however, that the action of the
three students last week, will not be forgotten.
It could produce three welcome results:
1 ) An attractive alternative to the fraternities—
the end of total opjiortuiiity which provides no
alternative. A large, unstigmatized non-affiliate
group.
2) Plans to revise the present ru.shing system,
to bring criteria into a twentieth century con-
text.
3) More acute and untiring criticism of the
fraternity system from within the houses.
'REFERENDUM' REVIEW
By Bill Edgar
Tlie second issue of "referendum" is a little
magazine which talks big.
Only two of the five articles are worth read-
ing. The others are a combination of pat "lib-
eralism" and muddled thinking.
Yet it calls itself a "fearless" journal. On the
back cover it cries that since no one on campus
expressed interest in their magazine, Williams
men must be "insijiid conservatives." The guilty
party, however, may not be the reader.
In a lead article the editor protests nuclear
poisoning of the air. The sentiment is fine, but
he asserts that the best way to end this U. S.-
led "Crusade against life" is a sudden "coherent
demand for cessation" by the population of the
world. The naivete is disappointing.
In "Sputnik, Science and the Liberal Arts,"
Ceorge Aid attacks Eisenhower's bill granting a
billion dollars for increased scientific education.
This is unnecessary, he says, because the
"curve of destructive power" has reached the
point of "total annihilation" and that inore wea-
pons are unnecessary. Almost 100,000 pages of
evidence used for the Gaither Report would
contradict Aid's assertions.
J. Donald Winston calls the scheduled course
in the history of American education a "blow at
liberal education." Sanctifying "liberal arts," he
calls History 17a a symptom of "the social pre-
paration mania that has swept American edu-
cation."
This is a narrow-minded attack on a timely
expansion of the Williams curriculum.
Besides these sophomoric ideas, however,
"Referendum" includes two excellent articles.
J. E. Brash's "Tlie Beat Misconception" is an
intelligent, well-written insight into the "beat
generation" myth which has emerged from Ker-
ouac's "On the Road." He competently demon-
strates that Kerouac's book goes far deeper
than Playboy-type sensationalism.
Finally Professor Schuman, with erudition
and style, offers challenging proposals for a U. S.
foreign policy. Nothing new to those who have
taken Political Science 3-4, yet it is almost
worth buying the magazine for this one article.
"VOLPONE"
Exciting Evening
by Donald Gifford
Professor of English
The first of tliis semester's drama workshops
at the Adams Memorial Theatre last Wednesday
and Thursday must be scored in the "ringing
success" column on tlie basis of both performance
and attendance. The Prologue and Act I of Ben
Jonson's "Volpone", plus Mosca's soliloquy
Act HI as epilogue were performed with energy
and verve and added up to an exciting evening.
The evening's principal disappointment was its
brevity: I was prepared and more than ready to
enjoy the rest of the play.
Tony Distler's performance of Mosca was
varied and delightful. Tim Tully's Volpone was
broad, ojien an forthright, perhaps a less subtle
counterpoise to Mosca than the play as a whole
demands, but quite effective within the limits
of Act I. E. J. Johnson's Prologue was somewhat
slow and over-forceful in its pace, but his Vol-
terre, Pete Schroeder's Corvino and John Burg-
hart's Carbaecio were able and energetic al-
though somewhat unshaded projections of the
three "gulls".
Clay Hunt's direction exploited the intimacy
of the studio theatre to reflect the "duphcity
of Jonson's comedy in which the actors counter-
pointed the illusion of the play as a reahty in
itself against a direct and jocular contact with
the audience. This aspect of the performance
was unusually successful — a happy coincidence
of historical accuracy and contemporary thea-
trical interest.
The )3erformances and the coffee klatches
which followed were an interesting evidence of
the motivations behind this year's program of
experimental dramas at the AMT. The informal
atmosphere of the studio theati-e encourages
both audience and actors to "cooperate" in the
attempt to understand and experience phases of
drama which the large theatre ujistairs, by its
very nature, renders formal and distant. At the
same time the workshop makes room for con-
tributions from directors other than those on the
theatrre staff, and it is to be hoped that Cap and
Bells' intention to use the workshop as a training
context for new actors may meet with some suc-
cess in the course of the spring's program.
Letter To The Editor
CONFORMITY DANGER
To the RECORD:
Wilhams fraternities rece(ntly have been
subjected to criticism on the moral weakness of
selectivity. Another moral shortcoming inherent
in the very system itself lies in the encroachment
upon individualism.
Our fraternity system generates intense so-
cial ]5ressures which submerge the individual
beneath narrow standards. Over 100 years ago
Tocqueville called it "Tyranny of the Majority;"
it is a standard feature in our society today. But
such a condition should never exist in a sup-
posedly intelligent, self-aware environment. An
awareness of the problem, however, is the first
step toward solution.
These pressures to conform are exerted in
three areas:
1) Within the house. In close group living,
group standards and group morality naturally
evolve, and many men seem to accept these
values blindly without thinking them through.
Another manifestation is the tendency to work
on quieter men "to bring them out," or "to bring
them into the house more." The Group frequently
does not accept a man who is different from its
members or who does not take an active inter-
est in the Group.
2) Outside the house. Our system revolves
around the brutal fight for self -survival; rushing.
Anything which any brother does outside the
house inevitably is judged by its effect on rush-
ing. Thus, a brother - or even a house — is hesi-
tant to do anything off the beaten track. Fur-
thermore, a house cannot afford to get "typed."
In other words, each house must appear similar
to other houses for purposes of rushing.
3) The freshmen. Tremendous pressures of
conformity to the "typical Williams Man" ideal
are exerted. If a freshman wants to get into a
"good" house, he darn well better meet the norm
and do what everyone else expects him to do. A
true individualist may have difficulty in rushing.
All these tendencies have beneficial aspects;
trouble arises only when they are carried to ex-
tremes - which is frequently the ease. The bat-
tle of individualism versus conformity is a moral
problem. Williams men must continue to recog-
nize these dangers — and curb them when neces-
sary.

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
The first thought tlmt comes into our minds upon entering
college is, of cour.sc, miirriiige. But how many of us go about
seeking mates, as 1 like to call them, in a truly scientific manner?
Not many, you may be sure.
So let US today make a scientific survey of the two principal
causes of marriage— personality need and projjinquity.
Personality need means that we choose mates because they
possess certain qualities that complete and fulfill our own per-
sonalities. Take, for example, the case of Aianson Duck.
As a frp.sliman Aianson made a fine scholastic record, played
varsity scral)lil(', and was president of his class. One would
think that Aianson was a totally fulfilled man. But he was not.
Tlu're was sonu'tiiing lacking in his life, something vague and
indefinable tli.'it \riis needed to make his personality complete.
Then one day Aianson discovered what it was. As he was
walking out of his class in Fleini.sh pottery, a fetching coed
named (Irace Ek ofTered him a handsome red and white pack
and said, "Marlboro?"
"Yes!" he cried, for all at once he knew what he had been
needing to round out his personality— the hearty fulfilhnent of
MarUxiro Cigarettes, the soul-repairing mildness of their fine
tol)a(X'0, tlw enni/ draw of tlieir unpnralkled fdter, the ease and
convenience of their crushproof flip-top box. "Yes, I will take a
Marlboro!" cried Aianson. "And I will also take you to wife
if you will have me I"
"I^a!" she exclaimed, throwing her apron over her face. But
after a while she removed it and they were married. Today
they live happily in Baffin Ijind where Aianson is with an
otter -glazing firm and Grace is a bookie.
l'ropin(|uity, the second principal cause of marriage, simply
means closeness. I'ut a boy and a girl close together for a sus-
tained iieriod of time and their proximity will certainly ripen
into love and their love into marriage. A perfect example is
the case of Fafnir Sigafoos.
While a freshman at Louisiana State University, Fafnir was
required to cri'wl through the Big Inch pipeline as part of his
fraternity initiation. He entered the pipe at Baton Rouge and,
alone and joyless, he proceeded to crawl north.
As he passed Lafayette, Indiana, he was agreeably surprised
to be joined by a comely girl named Mary Alice Isinglass, a
Purdue freshman, who, oddly enough, had to crawl through
the liig Inch as part of her sorority initiation.
W^r-iky-Wr^M-^/^^
Chatting amiably as they crawled through Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, and Now York State, Fafnir and Mary Alice discovered
they bad much in common— like a mutual affection for licorice,
bobsledding, and the nonsense verse of Arnold Toynljee. When
they reached the \'ermont border they were going steady, and

A Ballade Of Complaint
Of Certain Defecting Christians
Que par moi letir soil satisfait;
Ce que fai ecrit eat ecrit.
— Villon
Tlie decision was ours and we shall not complain
Or pretend some cowardly alibi.
We made our lea)3 to tlie ethical plane
That sophistical lauffliter can never deny.
Separated from friends who will always uomjily
With opinions and standards we know are naive,
We stand for an ideal hotli Innnble and high.
Sec how we suffer for what we believe!
These new companions must think we're insane
To give up what we have; stantl up and deny
Dancing candlelight snjjpers, hull sessions, champagnt'
And the pleasures that all such good things imply.
They think that these vanities satisfy
And we, whom these things can no hmger deceive
Must ignore their soft envious whispers and sighs.
See how we suffer for what we believe?
Never, never, never can we go back again.
Us have they exiled; us they crucify.
Missionaries swejit on a darkling plain
We bless tl;e savages we are eaten by.
But heads up! Keep on smiling, cry
"Kraft durch Freude!" Then go out and act. Achieve
Hcality through suffering as we did. Fail but try!
( See now we suffei' for what we belie\'e? )
Envoi

Our youthful Edens, and we pray you all try
To see bow we suffer for what we believe.

Record Symposium
To reflect the discussion of
fraternities wliich hit the cam-
pus suddenly last week, the
RECORD presents four differ-
ent views.
This symposium is in no way
an attempt to present all pos-
sible positions on the questions
which were raised when three
men left their houses last
Thursday. Instead, the conflict
of views presented here suggests
the intensity of discussion.

A ^Positive' Selectivity

Ass't. Rector — St. John's Church
Three Williams students, Messrs. Hassler, Morse, and Rose,
have made a hard and courageous decision to resign from their
fraternities, arriving at this decision after seriously wrestling with
the ethical implications of the Christian faidi. While I salute their
moral courage, 1 must take issue with them on the validity of
their ethical judgment and analysis. As one who spent four years

Explain Their Decision To Leave
Senior Questions
Ethical Grounds
By Warren Clark, Jr.
As a senior I am just now join-
ing a fraternity. I therefore stand
in anthesis to my classmates who
are now leaving.
Why, I am asked, am I now
joining? Am I giving up any in-
tegrity in an effort to "join"? Am
I giving into the sins of the world
in order to survive?
First, I never put my decision to
join a house on any ethical
grounds. I did not weigh whether
they were good or evil, moral, a-
moral, or immoral. I joinpd be-
cause I liked the people in the
house, its atmosphere, and the
social experience it afforded.
It is said that selectivity is a
bad thing, that it is a type of seg-
regation, and that it is contrary
to many principles of tolerance
and Christian love. I am in a goori
position to know this. As a sopho-

After serious thought we have
decided that, because of its basic
principle of selectivity, the frater-
nity system no longer has grounds
for continued existence. As a con-
sequence of this belief, we have re-
signed from our respective frater-
nities. This action, however, is not
due to dissatisfaction with any
particular fraternity, but with the
fraternity system as a whole.
The underlying notion of the
fraternity system is that man has
the right to accept those with
whom he feels to be compatible
and reject those for whom he has
a distaste. This is an unrealistic
assumption because it is impos-
sible for any man to insulate him-
self from those whom he does not
like. And yet selectivity in the
fraternity system encourages such
insulation and even incorporates
it into its rules through the de-
vices of "chops" and "blackballs".
Great Harm
It can be argued that through-
out one's life a person will be se-
lective, just by choosing certain
friends over others. This is true,
but no man is absolved of the re-
sponsibility of making a neighbor
of every man he meets. Man's se-
lectivity is often the source of
great harm, and it is, in our opin-
ion, immoral to make this selec-
See Page 6, Col. 4
and a fraternity man, I believe
these roles can be ethically recon-
ciled.
Their basic criticism is that the
fraternity principle of selectivity
is an "evil which is present in its
vei'y structure". Selectivity is seen
as evil because "no man is absolv-
ed of the responsibility of making
a neighbor of every man he meets."
Morally Neutral
Selectivity does not, however. In-
evitably imply rejection, and
therefore it cannot be maintained
that selectivity is intrinsically
evil. True, selectivity is present in
the very structure of the frater-
nity system, but the principle of
selectivity in itself is morally neu-
tral, and it can be either good or
evil depending on the motivation
behind its use, and the results.
When fraternities first develop-
ed on the Williams campus, they
were a small minority of individ-
uals associating together for the

Matmen Second In New England's;
Hatcher Wins Heavyweight Division
Tlie Williams varsity wrestlinK team placed second to Spring-
field in the New EnKlaud Intercollegiate Wrestling; Association
Championship Tournament at the U. S. Coast Gnard Academy
last Friday and Saturday, placing 7 of 8 in the top 4 in each class.
The cham|)ionship was the eighth in a row for Springfield. Tufts
was third and M. I. T. fourtli.
Boh Hatcher, who wrestled his first complete match of the
season on Friday, became the New England champion in the un-
limited division as he defeated Ray Fisher of Tufts in a brutal and
bloody brawl. Fisher was the man
who dislocated Hatcher's elbow In
the first meet of the season. Bob
won the match on the strength of
two seconds riding time. In the
semi-finals he had defeated La-
num of Dartmouth in another ov-
ertime thriller.
Stu Smith took second place In
the 130 pound class, while Steve
Lewis copped a second in the 157
pound class, losing to Burger of
Springfield, who won the out-
standing wrestler award.
The most exciting and captivat-
ing wrestler of the weekend, how-
ever, was Eph captain Jim Hutch-
inson. Jim seeded second in the
147 pound class, met Coast Guard's
Bob Imbrie in the semi-finals. Im-
brie shot everything he had In
the first period and built up an
early eight point lead; then Jim
took over. He kept pecking away
at Imbrie's huge lead but was un-
able to catch him.
In the finals of the consolations,
Hutchinson, wrestling the last
match of his career, pinned Haney
of Springfield in 32 seconds of the
first o/jrtime period. As Jim made! 5-2. 157 -

standing ovation.
In other events, Wally Matt and
Dave Moore placed third, and
Kuhrt Wieneke took fourth in

The freshman team finished
seventh, with Jack Staples taking
second place in the 167 pound di-
vision.

the exception of Tobln who need-
ed five games and an overtime to
pull it out of the fire. Tom Shul-
man was defeated in the second
round by Emmet, who upset Ar-
my's Don Williams in the third and
went on to take a game from
Chapman in the quarters. South-
all and Stafford were victorious
in three comparatively easy games,
while Tobin was pushed to four
to win.
In the round of sixteen. South-
all played well but lost to Hoehn
in four games. Tobin also extend-
ed Sears, eventual finalist, to four
in losing. The left-hander moved
Tobin about the court in setting
up winning corner shots. Stafford
started very slowly against Howe j
and lost the first game 15-3.
Howe's soft serve close to the
wall and his low volleys caused a
good deal of trouble. After the rest
period during which Howe led 2-
1, Stafford came back to take the
fourth game in overtime and
swamped his opponent in the fifth,
15-6.
The highlight of the quarters
was Stafford's victoi-y over Grif-
fiths, one of the three who had
beaten him this year in inter-
collegiate competition. Stafford's
hard down-the-line drives to
Griffiths' forehand and his fast
reflexes in returning his over-
head serves spelled the difference
in an exciting last game in which
Griffiths gambled on a one-point
overtime and lost.
Chapman was too accurate for
Stafford in the semis. He could
return every shot with a high de-
gree of speed just over the tin. The
score was 15-9, 15-11, 17-15. The
squash team has thus concluded
a very successful season which in-
cluded wins over Army, Dart-
mouth, and Princeton and an over-
all 7-3 record.
Williams Relay Team Places ird
In K Of CMeet; Beats Bates, Tufts
The Williams College winter re-
lay team finished an estimable
season Saturday by placing third
In the Knights of Columbus track
meet at Madison Square Garden
In New York City. The Eph
sprinters were edged out by Holy
Cross and St. Joseph's but beat
Bates and Tufts to the wire in
the one mile event.
Mack Hassler was the Williams
representative at the gun. He was
followed by Tony Harwood, George
Sudduth, and captain anchorman
Bill Pox. The team of four ran the
eleven lap mile course in the near-
record time of 3;23.8. This time,
recorded on the often difficult
banked Garden track, was only
.8 of a second off the William.s
College record for that event.
Win Two of Four
Over the season, the team, con-
sisting also of John Schimmel and
Bill Moomaw, won two of the four
meets that it qualified for. It
placed second and third In the
final two respectively. The squad
won both the Y. M. C. A, and tlie
B. A. A. meets in Boston and was
beaten by Tufts in the Knights of
Columbus meet, also held in Bos-
ton, earlier this year. Hampered
by injuries, the team failed to
qualify for the I. C. 4A. meet, held
at Madison Square Garden In New
York.

Clark
more rejected by thirteen houses
I was bitter and defiant against
The System, and this hindered my
development at college more than
it helped.
Now two years later I find I am
happiest within The System, and
so I have committed myself to it.
We all want friends with whom
we can communicate, goof off
with, or at least bump into regu-
larly instead of burying our heads
in the sand. Sand does not feel
well, especially in the neck of a
good white shirt. The majority
are happy with the system, and
there are many who have all the
brotherhood they want outside it.
Those, like myself, who were un-
happy outside a fraternity, might
have trouble at college anyway.
System or no System.
If individuals want to attack or
leave fraternities on ethical
grounds, I feel that they should
be given the right to do so without
undue criticism, for there is much
to attack.
Almost everyone will admit that
the fraternity system is not per-
fect. Until a better way, however,
i.s worked out (possibly needing
huge sums of money and an emo-
tional strain on nostalgic alumni)
an individual can only work out
his own position, given the way of
a world in which he finds himself
operating.
The question of whether frater-
nities are obsolete is a complex is-
sue; insofar as they are an outlet
for snobism and petty values — yes.
As far as they are an outlet for
social living — hardly.
Williams Swimmers Tie Brown To
Retain New England Championship
With only six swimmers quali-
fied for the finals, underdog Wil-
liams sped to a first-place tie with
much favored Brown to keep its
New England Championship title
for another year. It was a moral
victory as well for the third-seed-
ed Ephs, and a heavy disappoint-
ment to the highly touted, deeper,
Brown team.
Captain-elect Chip Ide was high
point man for the Ephs with first
places in the 50 and 100 yard free-
style events and a place on the
meet-deciding, winning 400 yard
freestyle relay team. The success,
however, was clearly due to the
almost unbelievable efforts and
results from each of the six men.

from behind to threaten Brown's
comfortable lead in the opening

constructive purpose of closer and
more personal fellowship. There
was no intention or possibility of
relegating part of the student body
to a rejected status. The original
motivation behind selectivity was,
therefore, of a positive and good
character.
It is worth pointing out that
Jesus himself employed the prin-
ciple of selectivity to the extent
of choosing twelve men as an in-
ner core group with whom he
closely associated himself. He did
not reject anyone, but he realized
the necessity of the intimate, per-
sonal fellowship of the small
group within the larger commu-
nal relationships.
Motivation
The above illustrations serve to
demonstrate that selectivity is not
evil in itself. It is the motivation
behind the structure, not the
structure itself, which comes un-
der judgment. The motivation of
close association for the purposes
of fellowship is good, while the
motivation of pridefuUy belonging
to an In-group which contemp-
tuously rejects others is evil.
Every social institution is an
admixture of good and evil fac-
tors, and an increase of power
tends to corrupt the original
structure. In the course of little
more than a centui'y, Williams
fraternities have achieved a tyran-
nous power over the social life of

for the needs and rights of the
small minority who do not fit the

The negative motive of rejec-
tion has become paramount In ap-
plying the principle of selectivity
in rushing. Unless the fraternity
system overcomes this violation of
its obligation of brotherhood, it
cannot ethically justify its con-
tinuance.
It is my contention that the sys-

tivity a ground rule for organi-
zations whose professed purpose
is brotherhood.
We contend that the happiness
derived from fraternity member-
ship is unimportant when its
price, selectivity and the luxurious
power of one human being to re-
ject another — often on terms that
can only be described as bigoted —
is taken into account. In the course
of our fraternity membership, we
have determined that no attempt
to "reform" the fraternity system
from within will eradicate the
evil which is present in its very
structure.
It will be said that we offer no
practical alternative to the fra-
ternity system. Again we must
state emphatically that the issue
involved is whether selectivity as
it is employed by the fraternities
is realistic or morally valid in the
present world, a world where peace
depends upon our ability to trans-
cend our individual differences.
We caimot help believing that
If the Williams College communi-
ty truly rejects the fraternity con-
cept of selectivity, It will have the
strength and insight to take prac-
tical steps to Implement this de-
cision. We cannot expect the fra-
ternity system to crumble in a
day. But we believe that it will
only be eliminated when individ-
uals see and actively respond to
the evils inherent in its nature,

of our statement and tlw fact that it

The point remains, we feel, that
all the Hood aspects of hrotherhoml

sliips by the Woodiow Wilson Foundation,
The Ihitchins irrant is awarded at the diseietioii ol tlie eol-
lef^e President and can be j^iven to any student witlioul speeilie
stipulations. The last time that this seliolarship was given was in
1956.
Phillips plans to use his schol-
arship for graduate work in His-
tory. He is a Junior Phi Bete and
President of Gargoyle. He Is also
a member of the Discipline Com-
mittee and Chairman of the Dis-
crimination Committee. He wrote
the "Phillips Report" dealing with
the problem of discrimination in
the fraternity system.
The Woodrow Wilson Fellow-
ships are awarded lor one year to
enable those seriously considering
entering the teaching profession
to continue graduate work in their
fields. This is one of the few
scholarships that requires that the
student be nominated by a pro-
fessor. In most cases the grant in-
cludes tuition plus other financial
assitance to defray living expenses.
U.w plans to study at Johns
Hopkins University for his Ph. D,
in History. He is the former Pre-
sident of St. Anthony Hall and a
Junior Phi Bete.
Harvey hopes to get his Ph. D.
in Oriental Studies from Harvard
and then plans to teach in the
Far East, preferably Japan. His
interest in the Orient stems from
his contact wiih that part of tiie
world while in the Army. He was in
the service from 1953 to 1956 dur-
ing which time he spent five
months in Japan.
Gaudino To Lead
Mead Fund Trip
Ten or twelve Williams seniors,
accompanied by Assistant Profes-
sor Robert L. Gaudino of the Poll-
tioal Science Department, will vi-
sit Washington during spring va-
cation on the annual Mead Fund
trip.
The students, chosen from those
majoring in political science, his-
tory, and economics, will study the
Senate and the broad problems of
relationships between legislative
and executive powers. Various in-
terviews have been arranged for
the three day excursion. Expenses
are partially covered by the Mead
Fund.
As background for the trip, the
students are reading "The Cita-
del", by William S. White, Wash-
ington correspondent for the "New
York Times", who will be Inter-
viewed in the course of the trip.
Congressional Interviews
To study this problem from the
legislative point of view, four Sen-
ators will be seen, two from each
party. An interview with GOP
Senator Goldwater of New Mexico
has been secured, and plans are
being made to see Senators Know-
land, Kermedy, and Morse.
David Dennison '40, a represen-
tative from Ohio in the House of
Representatives has also been en-
gaged. In an attempt to evaluate
the role of Congress In foreign af-
fairs, the students will interview
personnel of the International Co-

visor to the President, and Justice
Willam Brennan of the Supreme
Court.
Frosh Council
The Freshman Council has
voted unanimously to accept

Barnett Opposed To
Plagiarism Inclusion
Should plagiarism be included in
the Honor System?
In a Wednesday RECORD in-
terview, Dean Vincent M. Barnett
said : "The Honor System is work-
ins very well; inclusion of a clause
on plagiarism, such as the one sug-
gested by Gargoyle, might prove
dangerous to the system's effec-
tiveness."
Barnett explaiired that "the pre-
sent honor code is very clear. Since
plagiarism is hard to define and
encompasses so much, it would
only serve to muddle the system."
Under the present system, pla-
giarism cases are referred to the
Dean's Ofice. Penalties range from
a zero on the paper to expulsion
from school and the Dean warned
students to be careful in writing
papers, "because the offense is of-
ten involuntary."
Baxter Discusses Roles of Roosevelt,

The laetoi's iiiNolved in the breakdown of U. S. neutrality in
1940-41 were discussed by President |ames P. Baxtei- 111 Wed-
nesday ill tlie sixth of his series of lectures on .American diplomacy.
Baxter einiiliasized that the major element in World War II
|>lannint; was that "Russia must be kept in the war at almost all
costs" ill order to defeat |apaii. lie asserted furtlier that Allied
leaders were "completely bulfaloed' 1)V tlic (niiiiese into su|5port-
ing their essentially impotent ar-
my.
In their decision to enter the
second world war, U. S.leaders re-
alized the necessity of maintaining
the balance of power Isecause, un-
like conditions in 1916, the French
army was larsely capitulated and
the British navy was suffering
heavily. He stated that the fall of
Prance "laid in ruin every bit of
isolationist jacka.ssery."
Roosevelt Credited
The feeling for neutrality in the
U. S. had as a basis the "passion-
ate" belief that everything done in
World Wsv T wns wrnnR Baxter
questioned Roosevelt's leadership
in 1937-41, but felt that after our
declaration, "he did a job for
which we all ought to be grateful."
A "painful decision" made by
the U. S. previous to our entrance
into actual combat was that the
European war should have priority
over the Pacific theatre because of
the immense economic power of
Europe. He credited Roosevelt with
selling this idea to the public in
the face of overwhelming hate and
fear with which Japan was regard-
ed after Pearl Harbor.
Baxter called Churchill the
"most brilliant exponent of faith
in the free world."

Williams Students Hosts To Group
Of Berkshire Farms School Boys
A group of 27 boys from Berkshire Industrial Farm were en-
tertained by some Williams freshmen and sophomores in Williams-
town last Saturday.
This event marked a high i^oint in student efforts to aid these
unfortunate boys. Activities included a movie, swiinming, basket-
ball and an evening ban<iuet.
Berkshire Farm is a home foi' boys ranging in age from eleven
to fifteen. Products of broken
these boys have run amiss
homes
of the law in some way. The courts,
in considering their home life,
have decided that returning them
home would be disadvantageous to
solution of their problems.
A deficiency in such institutions,
with Berkshire Farm no exception,
is the lack of personal attention
that each boy can receive from the
staff.
Through weekly visits, corres-
pondence and inviting some of the
boys to their homes, this group of
Williams students, led by freshmen
Al Bogatay and Bob Adler, have
attempted to fill this need for per-
sonal attention.
The group of boys and the Wil-
liams undergraduates involved en-
,1oyed each other immensely. Pro-
grams such as these are very im-
portant In promoting imderstand-
Ing among these future citizens.
Chapel Speaker
Reverend Julian Hartt, Chair-
man of the Department of Re-
ligion at Yale University, will
speak at Chapel this Sunday
evening. He will also speak at
a supper sponsored by the Wil-
liams College Chapel to be held
at 5:30 in St. John's Episcopal
Church.
This is one of the events that
the W. C. C. is sponsoring dur-
ing the remainder of the spring
term. Also slated will be an all-
freshman week in daily Chapel,
a freshman smoker on sopho-
more courses, a Boys' Club work
weekend, special Good Piiday
and Easter services and a more
regular publication of the W. C.
C. publication, "The Tower".
Georgia-Williams In
Segregation Debate
Segregation will be the topic of
an Adelphic Union debate between
Williams and Mercer College of
Macon, Ga., Monday evening in
Jesup Hall. Speaking for Williams
will be Jim Scott '58, and John
Struthers '59.
The segregation competition re-
places the traditional annual Adel-
phic Union debate with a British
team. It is expected to be spirited
because Georgia is now the strong-
hold of segregated schools in the
South.
Native Georgians
L. Martell Layfield and Beverly
Bates will defend segregation. Both
are pre-law students active in ex-
tra-curi'icular circles. Bates of At-
lanta majors in economics while
Layfield is a history-English ma-
jor from Columbus, Ga. The two
are active in student government
Discussion and Questions
An informal question period is
scheduled after the debate In the
Rathskeller at 8 p.m. The winner
will be decided by vote of the au-
dience.
Struthers, a member of DKE, Is
the retiring Union president. Scott,
former President of the Student
Activities Council is a member of
Gargoyle Society, Beta Theta Pi
and Phi Beta Kappa. He recently
received a grant to study in Ran-
goon, Burma next year.
To prevent any member of this
committee from having a vested
interest in a particular organiza-
tion, the CC decided that only
those who are not involved in the
financial dealings of any under-
graduate organization should be
members of the finance committee.
This selection requirement met
with considerable debate within
the college this week, Jim Scott,
former SAC president, commented
that with the present set-up, the
CCF is "potentially very danger-
ous. Five people, selected with the
present requirement in effect,
could easily lose sight of statis-
tical facts and worry too much a-
bout moral questions. Only ex-
perience can produce a compre-
hensive understanding of the prob-
lems involved, and a committee
such as this, with no experience,
will have to be doubly dutiful in

Education Grants
A recent "New York Times" story
emphasized the national need for
more scholarship aid, a problem
of which Williams has been In-
creasingly aware in the past few
years.
Statistics from the U. S. Office
of Education show that while the
average yearly price of education
in 1332 institutions is $1300, 33 per
cent of scholarship winners re-
ceive less than $125. The average
value of a Williams scholarship is
$912, a figure which will increase
with increases in tuition costs. The
total value of college grants is
set by the trustees at 20 per cent
of tuition income.
The 'Times" article pointed out
that emphasis on increased stu-
dent subsidies is a result of the
realization on the part of educa-
tors that as college costs increase,
it becomes less possible for a per-
son to work his way through
school. The Elsenhower plan, aim-
ed at giving students more time
to study, calls for 10,000 scholar-
ships annually for four years em-
phasizing science training. Tlie
average per capita aid is $750.
More Grants Here
Student Aid Director Henry N.
Flynt, Jr. predicts that present
trends show a rise in the percen-
tage of students receiving aid due
to increased tuition ($200 this
year) which brings more appli-
cants within the "needy" classi-
fication. The percentage has risen
since last semester from 18.6 to
20.1, and greater increases are ex-
pected for the fall term.
According to the "Times", the
sponsors of national scholarship
programs are attempting to en-
lighten public opinion on the col-
lege financial problem in order to
effect further increases in student
subsidies.

ACADEMY AWARDS
By Ernie Inihofj
The annual Academy Awards for 1957 will
be presented Marcii 26 l)y the ,\cadi'my of Mo-
tion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Pantaj^es
Theatre in Hollywood.
Based upon the nominations of five candi-
dates for each category, the election which is
now takinff place by secret ballot of the more
than 2000 members of the Academy, will pro-
duce approximately 30 Oscar winners.
Once again Hollywood will flout itself be-
fore the world on the "Big Night." Once again
the gaudy sjiectaele will mean cinema notables
in furs and satins, flashbulbs, teen-age mobs,
cute emceeing, tear-producing aeeejDtance
speeches and then, also, prizes, honorable men-
tions, and special awards for the various divi-
sions of excellence.
Things have changed some since the first
Academy ceremonies in 1929 when only the
"major aspects" such as leading actor, actress,
film, director were honored. Since those early
times, supporting artists, film editing, sound
recording, original songs, foreign movies and
other categories have received annual recogni-
tion as well.
"Finest Industri/"
The original presentations were closed af-
fairs, usually in the form of banquets in Los An-
geles' Hotel Biltmore "Bowl Boom" for Academy
members and guests only. Long-winded s|)ecches
praising "the finest industry in the world" and
such pyrotechnics as refusing to recognize die
Academy and thus refusing to accept its awards
are humorously noted in the records. Critics
and cynics might well laugh at the obvious pre-
tentiousness of this greatest of all Hollywood
comic melodramas. Turning to the business side,
the Oscars may be appraised as significant only
in enhancing the recipient's future career and
fame.
Stripping away all excess, the statuettes are
symbolic of the highest praise within the cinema
industry toward the actors, actresses, directors
and technicians which comjDose it.
This is Hollywood criticizing itself, with
judgements on last year's films being made by
those who were closest to them. The Academy
Awards should be taken for what this is worth.
And it is certainly worth something.
Not with omniscience, but with a kind of
calculated reserve are predictions and choices
herewith made for the winners of the eight main
Academy Awards; the contenders for which
were announced February 17.
The word commonly used, "best", does not
serve as a very subtle criterion; but in Holly-
wood's analysis and in this one, the most feasible
ilistinction is how closely the final product on
the screen resembles the effect or mood initially
desired. Predictions of the Academy choices,
first; jjersonal choices, second.
Best Film - "The Bridge on the l\iver Kwai";
Same
Best Actor - Alec Guiness in "The Bridge on
the River Kwai"; Same
Best Actress - Deborah Kerr in "Heaven
Knows, Mr. Allison"; Joanne Woodward in "The
Three Faces of Eve"
Best Director - David Lean for "The Bridge
on the River Kwai"; Same
Best Supporting Actor - Red Buttons in
"Sayonara"; Sessue Hayakawa in "The Bridge
on the River Kwai"
Best Supporting Actress - Carolyn Jones,
"Bachelor Party"; Miyoshi Umeki in "Sayonara"
Best Foreign Language Film - "Gates of
Paris"— France; "Gervaise", though not nom-
inated.
Best Song - "Tammy" from "Tammy and the
Bachelor"; "AH the Way" from "The Joker is
Wild".
General Conclusion: While "Sayonara", Mar-
lon Brando and Joshua Logan are extremely close
seconds, they should be no more than that. It
looks like "The Bridge" all the way.
Wanted: Conformists
Hi/ John Good
Sandy Hansell, in accordance with the pleas
of countless chapel speakers, has challenged the
v\'illianis Student to assert his individuality.
llansell indicts the fraternity system for ex-
erting pressuri's on its members and on fresh-
men seeking admittance to these secret soci-
eties. According to the former editor of the
RECORD, fraternities may force the individual
to accept a set of principles antithetical to his
own.
But individuality may be earned too far. In
"thinking for lu'mself" the individualist may ne-
glect to think in terms of his associates. Too
many of our "non-conformists" exert their indi-
viduality to such an extent that their actions be-
come an anathema to the society.
We must remember that we do not live in
a world of oiu' own, that our actions affect
the lives of others. By not conforming to the
norms of society, the individualist rejects those
jirinciples designed for harmonious living with
his associates. For example, one who eats slop-
pily or dresses shabbily repulses those with whom
he lives. Good manners and good taste are ob-
served merely out of consideration for others.
The great religions of the world jilead for
this kind of conformist; they plead for men to
follow a pattern of life that will not injure the
lives of the other people in society. Christianity's
greatest principle is consideration for others.
If the fraternities induce a man to conform
to a set of values designed to im]Drove the in-
dividual's social character, they are fulfilling a
pur]5osc. Most of the fraternities urge a ]ierson
to conform so that he may live harmoniously
with his fellow men; this is their prime basis for
existence. If the fraternities have, or should ever
lose sight of this main objective, then Mr. Han-
sell's indictment is well founded.
Happy news!

Letter To The Editor
To the RECORD:
With this in mind I should like to strongly suggest that you
would do well to rid yourselves of the author of your Cinemascooi)
column. Anyone who thinks that "lllict Interlude" is, "Well worth
the viewing if you can stand the ballet in between swims," ( REC-
ORD, Wed. March 5) is quite obviously lacking in the ability
to evaluate human emotions and the validity of the vicarious ex-
l^erience which they are able to communicate. He is certainly en-
titled to his own opinion, but it is equally certain that his opinion,
lacking the maturity necessary to avoid the cynical outlook of a
'mammary-mad' youth, should not he voiced in your paper as the
opinion of Williams College. It does not speak well for the level
of education here.
Tony Stout '61
To the RECORD:
It was most gratifying to see that "lleferendum's" small ef-
forts have already paid off in stimulating discussion on the editor-
ial pages of tlie RECORD. This re|iresents a big step toward full-
filling "Referendum's" goal of contributing to provacative discus-
sion of the issues that surround us.
Since "Referendum" is still young and unfamiliar to most read-
ers, we would like to take this op])ortimity to clear up two minor
misconceptions concerning the magazine which seem prevalent:
( 1 ) Rather than an "article" in any true sense, the half-page
of writing on the inside front cover is reserved for brief comment by
some member of the editorial staff.
(2) Unlike the "liberal" magazine which it unfortunately has
been assumed to be, "Referendum" was undertaken, as Mr. Ralph
Renzi stated in his editorial in the latest "Aliunni Review", in tlie
hope that "a candid discussion of campus problems will do much
to further their solution" and that similar discussion of world and
national affairs may also be of some value in years to come.
It is this hope that "Referendinn" has, with no reflection in-
tended upon the fine editorial work of the RECORD, attempted
to establish a medium for expression of opinion in such forms as
are ordinarily not suited to the letters column of a newspaper.

In Eastern Amateur Ski Tourney
Three representatives from Wil-

and slalom-alpine combined cham-
pionships at Fi-anconia, New
Hampshire. Co-captalns Jim Beck-
et and Chip Wright, both seniors,
as well as junior George Fisher
are entered in the meet.
All three men represented Wil-
liams In the National Collegiate
Athletic Association championships
at Dartmouth two weeks ago
Since the team as a whole did not
qualify for the IntercoUegiates, be-
cause they finished sixth and only
the first five teams were consid-
ered eligible, Becket, Fisher, and
Wright entered as non-affiliated
individuals. Becket came in seven-
teenth in the downhill, and Wright
and he finished around twentieth
in the combined.
Team's Record
The varsity ski team has per-
formed favorably this year in re-
spect to the size of the schools
against which it competed and the
superior facilities of some of the
more northern ones. At Dart-
mouth, the skiers finished fourth
out of eight teams. Here at Wil-
liams' Carnival, they came out
fifth of nine. At Mlddlebury, they
were sixth of ten, and at the Nor-
wich Carnival, they ended sixth.

very successful. In this meet Becket
captured second place in the
downhill. At the Easterns, Wright

By defeating the Freshman in-
tramural representative, Greylock,
from entries D, E, and F of Sage,
last Wednesday, A. D. won the
right to compete against the Phi
Gams in the finals of the intra-
mural championship, to be held
tliis afternoon.
Both A. D. and Greylock had
identical 8-1 records going into
Uie playoff game but the upper-
classmen's speed and experience
enabled them to win handily 26-
18. A victory by Phi Gam in to-
day's game would put them in a
two way tie with A. D. for the
overall intramural lead, with Chi
Psi running a tight second.
On the hockey rink A. D. has
gained the undisputed title of both
leagues by defeating Phi Game 2-1
in the championship game. While
A. D. swept through their league
to the finals. Phi Gam was forced
to oust the Beta House from a tie,
by beating them in the playoff
needed to decide the league cham-
pion.
At present St. Anthony and K.A.
are in the finals of the college
squash tournament with the match
expected to be played off on Mon-
day. The winner in this match will
net the usual fifteen points award-
ed in a sport in which there is no
championship playoff between the
two leagues.

Led by coach Jim Ostendarp and
captain Dave Andrew, the Wil-
liams lacrosse team will journey
to Lexington, Va. to play Wash-
ington and Lee in the first game of
their spring vacation Southern
trip.
Prom here the club will go to
Charlottesville where it will take
on the University of Virginia. Both
Washington and Lee and UVA will
have had the advantage of several
weeks of practice before their con-
tests with the Ephmen. The last
date on the schedule before re-
turning to Williamstown will be
a scrimmage against Loyola of
Baltimore.
Coach Jim Ostendarp expects
that the two roughest games of
the regular season will be against
Yale and Dartmouth. Although his
squad has been boosted by the vet-
erans of last year's undefeated
freshman team, he feels that it is
going to take a few games to fully
develop the club.
PT Skiers Get Lessons
Just completed is the first year
of PT ski instruction at Williams
in conjunction with the W. O. C.
The freshman and sophomores ov-
er the winter have been able to
gain their required PT credit while
at the same time gaining at least
a fundamental knowledge of ski-
ing technique.
Organized by Ski coach Ralph
Townsend the classes have met
twice a week both on the golf
course and later at Sheep Hill.
with eight student instructors ro-
tating on the job. Led by John
Palmer '59, the W. O. C. instruc-
tors are Sandy Fetter '58, John
Karol '58, Tom Penney '58, Philip
Wilcox '58, Stan Lawder '58 and
John Ross '58.
Systems of Instruction have been
attempted at times during the past
twenty years, but have always met
with limited success due to the
lack of instructors.

RECORD Business Manager
Tom Piper '59, questions whether
people who "have hitherto Indi-
cated little interest (by participa-
tion) In the financial affairs of
organizations will now take inter-
est.
Charges of "materialism" unci intrusion upon academic and
Personal fi-eedom have been aimed at the Smith College Adminis-
tration for its refusal to permit five jj;irls to act in La Roiidc, a con-
troversial French jilay to be f^i\en at Amherst.
Dean Russel of Smith at first
banned all Smithies from the cast
because of unfavorable reports
from faculty members who had
seen the movie. Later she changed
her mind and decided that girls
who had gotten permission from
home and possessed "the needed
maturity" might act in the pro-
duction.
TIMES Comment
According to Lewis Funke of
"The New York Times", the play,
"as a clinical study of the game
of sex ... is a devastating part of
the truth."
The theme was originally pro-
duced in Italy as a movie in 1954
and circulated throughout the
United States where it was banned
by many religious groups. The
students of Harvard and Yale
staged an uncensored production
of the play last year at Cam-
bi'idge without serious complica-
tions.
A member of the "Amherst Stu-
dent" editorial board, in a letter
printed in that paper, wonders
"Shall Smithies be provided with
a syllabus of errors and told what
shows they may see in New York
during vacation periods? They may
be spotted at intermission, bring-
ing notoriety to them.selves and
their alma mater (or is it pater?)".
'Dirty Hands' Begins
Rehearsals At AMT
Rehearsals are now underway
for the Adams Memorial Theater's
next production, "Dirty Hands" by
Sartre, the French existentialist.
Under the direction of Giles Play-
fair, the play will be presented
March 19, 20 and 21 at 8:30 p.m.
"Dirty Hands" is a play of Ideas
dealing with a Communist fifth
column movement during the Sec-
ond World War. The principal
character, Hugo Barlne as played
by Bob Vail '58, is an intellectual
anarchist who becomes a pawn in
the hands of the Communist lead-
ers. The translation has been sup-
plemented and changed by Play-

the original French.

On Penal System
Professor Giles Playfair, Chair-
man of the Drama Department,
addressed the Williamstown Lea-
gue of Women Voters this Tues-
day, at the Congregational Church
on the topic, "Tlie Criminal and
Society".
Professor Playfair first traced
briefly the evolution of our present
penal system, and then demon-
strated at some length the inade-
quacy and faults of our present
penal, probationary and parole
systems.
According to Playfair, we have
Inherited too much of the 18th and
19th century concepts of ven-
geance, making punishment fit the
crime and making prison a brutal
institution in order to deter po-
tential criminals.
Playfair urged that rehabilita-
tion, making punishment fit the
criminal, and reform take the
place of these concepts.
He said that penologists as a
group are extremely progressive
and in favor of such change.
"What blocks the way," he com-
mented, "is the binding effect of
public opinion."

Hugo, employed as Hoederer's

Education Report
American problems of educa-

informal report to be given by
Professor Charier Keller to the

structors Wednesday in Griffin
Hall. The meeting will be open
to the public.
Keller's report will be based
on both knowledge and experi-
ence. His two-year career as
head of the Advanced Place-
ment Program of the Colle.gc
Entrance Examination Board
has made him familiar with
many facets of the problems
facing modern educators. Ho
has also participated in .several
education conferences, amon;j
them the recent 13th National
Conference on Higher Educa-
tion. This meeting of national
educators stre.ssed the problem
of strengthening higher educa-
tion in the satellite age.
As head of the history depart-
ment, Keller has also been in-
strumental in adding a course
in the history of American ed-
ucation 'History 17a i to the
Williams curriculum. Wednes-
day's report is part of the ori-

Mercer Students Urge
Southern Liberal View
By John Good
Two lanky "Gentlemen from
Georgia" took the stage in a de-
bate at Jesup Hall Monday and
made a proposal for liberal "cre-
ative realism" in dealing with
southern segregation of the
schools.
Marty Layfield and Bev Bates
of Mercer University, debating a-
gainst Jim Scott and Sam Jones
of Williams, pointed out that sou-
' them extremism resulting from
outside pressures is the major bar-
rier impeding progress towards
Integration. Their program of "cre-
I ative realism" entails the urging
of integration by southern liberals
on the theory that a southerner
will sooner listen to a southerner i
than a northerner. j
Liberals Martyred
"However, the southern liberal '
is being martyred," said Bates.
"Unless northerners stop engen-
dering fear in the southern heart
so that southerners will support
extremists, the liberal cannot be
I heard." Bates pounted out that
I the southern liberals, as charac-
terized in the ministers, teachers,
and lawyers, are currently being
"run out of the South" for urging
ACE Asks Increase
In Teachers' Salaries
I According to a statement issued
March 11 by the American Coun-
cil on Education, teachers' salaries
should be "at least doubled."
The statement was prepared by
the thirteen-member Problems
and Policies Committee.
The Council also proposed that
while new institutions for higher
[education should be established.
I this "should not be ... at the ex-
pense of existing institutions." Al-
so, "scholarship programs should
stress . . . graduate as well as un-
I dergraduate study, and should be
j accompanied by a parallel system
' of grants."
integration.
"The South will never accept in-
tegration by an imposed law." con-
tended Layfield. "The people of
the South must come to accept
the Negro. They can only accept
him by being made to understand
his situation by the southern lib-
eral through lines of communica-
tion which are now stifled."
Scott, speaking for the Williams i
team, urged a system of "selective i
integration" for attaining the de- 1
sired end. "The Negro has gained
in the past only through pushes,"
he said, "and we must moderately
push this issue to insure the Ne-
gro's equality in the South.
The Williams team contended
that segregation of the Negro is
based mainly on economic grounds.
Coffin came to Williams last fall
r?i)hicing William G. Cole as chap-
lain. Since he believes that any
matter tliat affects a person deep-
ly is ultimately a religious ques-
tion, he has taken vigorous stands
on various campus issues.
In the controversy over compul-
sory cliap.^l, Coffin staled in the
Nove.nber 8 RECORD that he be-
lieved "a chapel service for the
believer should be an act of dedi-
cation, for the non-believer an ed-
ucational experience." Yale does
not have compulsory chapel.
Selectivity
At a recent informal panel dis-
cu':sion at which three students
explained their reasons for resign-
ing from fraternities. Coffin stat-
ed that selectivity in the fraternity
system "leads to a more narrow
selection of associates." The fra-
ternities foster, in his opinion, an
anti-intellectual atmosphere.
After graduating from Andover
I in 1942. Coffin spent a year at the
i Yale School of Music and then
entered the Army. At the time of
his discharge in 1947 he was a
captain, having served as an in-
fantry platoon-leader and a liai-
son officer with the French and
Russians.
Yale '49
He returned to Yale, graduating
in 1949. After a year at the Union
Theological Seminary in New York
City, he entered the government
service. There he spent three "se-
cret" years working for the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency on Rus-
sian affairs. He received his B. D.
from Yale Divinity School in 1956.
He was chaplain at Andover last
', year.
1 Coffin is married to Eva Rubin-
stein, daughter of concert pianist
Arthur Rubinstein. She is a for-
mer ballet dancer and actress,
having appeared in the Broadway
production of "The Diary of Anne
Frank". The Coffins have one
child, a two-month old daughter,
Amy.
Wellesley Cuts Weekly Class Time;
Tufts Initiates Gut Course Reform
Serious scrutiny of curricula has
resulted in a major class schedule 1
change at Wellesley and a move-
ment to reform "gut" courses at
Tufts.
Wellesley's Academic Council
has expressed its faith in the in-
tellectual maturity of the student
body by initiating a program of
two one-hour-cla.ss periods a week.
The new schedule will leave Wed-
nesday and Saturday mornings
free from classes.
Liberal Ideal
In a report to the student body,
the Wellesley administration cited
increased emphasis on independent
study, increased control over the
use of time by the student, and
"an island within the week for In-
dividual study and reflection" as
three major benefits of the new
program.
Although it is a radical depar-
ture from Wellesley tradition, the
new plan will focus more intense-
ly on the primary goal of a liberal
education, according to Wellesley
College authorities. Prior to the
change, the Wellesley class sche-
dule was similar to Williams,
At Tufts the "gut" course may
soon pass into history, A special
committee has been created by the
Student Council to study easy
courses and minimum academic
standards.
Weekly Report
This action came in response to
a powerful campaign on the part
of the "Tuft's Weekly" which has
been instrumental in focusing at-
tention on this question. The
"Weekly" has started a series call-
ed the "Gut of the Week" which
starts off as a catalogue descrip-
tion of a course and then proceeds
to give a brief but devastating pic-
ture of its simplicity. A personal
column artfully reinforces the ar-
ticle by a deliberately cynical view
of the campaign.
Much controversy has arisen
over these developments, and re-
forms by the student government
seem to be underway.

RECORD Interviews
Harvard Law Students
Williams iriadiiates at Harvard Law School
tijeneralK- have uiideru;oiie a tlramatic chaiii^e in
intellectual attitudes and stnch' habits aecordint^
to a recent UEC01{D snr\e\-.
Harvard law students seemed to find some
truth in the law school ailaj^e "They scare you
to death the first year, work you to death the
second, and bore you to death the third year.
First vear law student Charlii' Kirkwood "57, is
stncKiiin ()\i'r twici' as much as he did at Wil-
liams, kirkwood, a former political eeononu' ma-
jor, felt his |)ul)lie speakinti and eonstitntioiial
law courses at Williams lia\e helped his initial
adjustment to law school, lie iioti'S that classes
are iiiueli more business-liki', then' is little ent-
tiiiij;, and students are alwaxs |)repared.
Altlioiiii;li the iuformation Kirkwood ac-
(|uircd at Williams has not helped his law stn-
clics, he belicNcs the best liberal arts preparalion
for law school is learninir to read thoront^hly
and abstract vour ideas. Kirkwood now wishes
he hatl learned to take better noti's at Williams.
Despite the increased work, Kirkwood claims
he still has time lor an ade(|uate social life.
Tlwsi.s Helpful
N'ernon Scpiires '56, a second vear law stu-
dent, beliex'cs his political science thesis was
especialK' <j;ood iirc'iiaration since much of law
is research. "I did \c'rv little talkiiiLi; about eour-
;i's out of class," S(|nires recalls of his iinder-
;iaduate da\s. "I (liink U'illianis was lor me
iiu;re ol a recital— 1 ne\er ((uestioned as much
is I could have." The law student considers a
lilteen pai^e assignment at Harvard bit; since
he inav S|5end sevi'ral boms thinkint; his wav
tlir<iu<j;h it. Sipiires feels that extra-curricular ac-
tivities at Williams are important, bnt warns
at;aiiist over-extension "If a person wants to do
well in i;rad school," be savs, "emphasis should
be on academic. Too nianv extra-curricular ac-
tivities can take niuch out of vour courses. I
feel I overextended them. If a student is not
t;oinir on to t;raduate school, this inav not applv. '
\t> Mid-[jc(ir Exdiii.s
Duaiie Sari^isson .55, who is in his last vear
ol law school, recommends a broad education
especiallv in sciences and math to develop the
abilitv to deal with abstract ideas. .\lthou<j;h
there art' no tests, (juizzes, or jiapers until the
end of the vear, Sari;isson finds that the work
at law school is much more consistent than the
crisis to crisis studvinu; at Williams durinir hour
tests. ".At Williams," he observes, "Hie class
seems to be tijeared to the averai;e stndi'iit. Here
the class is t^carcd to the top iiiembers. The
others mav have to spend time ij;ettinij; it on
their own. '
Dnrinif his spare time Sart!;isson assists the
Harvard Law School Director of .\dmissioiis. The
ollicial attitude in tlu' admissions ollice is to
stress ail applicant's academic record and his
aptitude tests. Sar<;issoii, however, considers
extra-curricular activities essential for a broad
education althouirh they are uiiim|)ortant in
t!;ainin<j; admittance to Harvard Law School.
CJontrarv to ireneral opinion law students do
have time for jobs and social activities if thev
are efficient in their studv habits. As for jret-
tint; the proper preparation for law school, one
law student summarized the i^revailinij attitude,
"If you've learned to study and think at Wil-
liams, vou'll have no trouble here. I'd say Wil-
liams offers a student evervthin^ he needs to be
a success at jrrad school. Whether he takes ad-
vantaj^e of this, is up to him."

On the strength of a last second
jump shot by Chubby Jeffrey Chi
Psi eD'g:d its way into the Indus-

"A company that plans far ahead gi.^
me the chance to work out my future
f f
"Pleasing dcsigii i.s no accident," say.s 32-,vear-old TV
set designer Richard Moiitmeat. "It takes creative
planning. At General Electric, we're constantly de-
veloping new product designs — including some for
products which won't be on the mai'ket for several
years. Ever since .joining General Electric. I've had
the opiiortiinity and challenge of working toward the
designs of the future. As I .see it, a company which
plans ahead gives me the chance to work out my own
future, too."
• • •
The creative accomiilishments of Richard Mont-
meat have already brought him widesin-ead recog-
nition. He was awarded design patents in 1950 and
1955; he won the Indu.strial Designers Institute
Award in 1955; and his design for the 1958 General
Electric 17-inch portable television receiver was se-
lected for showing in an international design exposi-
tion in Milan, Italy.
Progress in pleasing design — making appliances
more enjoyable to own and use — is an important
factor in our nation's growing use of electricity and
in our constantly rising level of living. Planning now
to satisfy future customers is important not only to
the continued growth of the electrical industry, but to
individual progress as well. Opportunity for long-
range planning is i)art of the climate for self-develop-
ment which is provided for General Electric's more
than 29,000 college-graduate employees.

Critic Lauds AMT's 'Dirty Hands';
Vail, Ann Chatin Called Outstanding
By P. Antonie Distler
'Throughout, a fine perform-
ance: at times, brilliant' would
best characterize the Cap and Bells
— A. M. T. production of "Dirty
Hands"— the Jean-Paul Sartre
play which opened at the A. M. T.
on Wednesday and which closes
tonight.
The play, on the whole, was well
acted. However, there were, as one
would expect, definite high and low
moments. High moments came in
the performances of Bob Vail, as
Hugo, and Ann Chatin, as Jessica.
Hugo, a young intellectual of an
upperclass family was played by
Vail as sometimes brittle, some-
times volatile, but always with a
sense of complete understanding of
tremendous rents and warpings of
the character's moral fibre. Hugo's
moments of strength, weakness,
triumph and indecision were all
there and brilliantly portrayed.
Miss Ann Chatin took the audi-
ence througli the youthful foolish-
ness, the egotistical, animalistic
sexual slants, and the blunt seri-
ousness of Jessica with the aplomb
of the polished actress which she
has proved herself to be in for-
mer A. M. T. productions.
In handing out acting Kudos it
would be impossible to overlook
the excellent jobs turned in by
Cathy Martin, as Olga and Bill
Edgar, as Hoederer. Both roles are
extremely difficult^-Olga, the
typical woman communist, Hoe-
derer, the party boss who is
shrewd, open-at-times, and force-
ful. The only point of contention
these otherwise fine performances
would be a lack of the necessary
force in Hoederer to make it pos-
.sible for him to emotionally and
intellectually overpower Hugo, as
he should do in Acts V and VI.
As for direction Giles Playfair
has pieced the show together to
product the effect of steady, hard,
powerful sledge-hammer covered-
with-a-generous-supply-of-felt im-
pacts which culminate in the death
of Hugo.
A drama-melodiama, the play
takes you within the thoughts and
emotions of its characters. It is
good theatre.

Registration To Take Place After
Vacation; Catalogues Available Nov)
Registration for the 1958 academic year will take i^lace after
Spring vacation from April 7-11. At this time, 260 sophomores
vvill choose their major courses from ainoni? the twenty fields
offered.
The registrar's office announced
that catalogues for next year
would be available on March 20.
Students are urged to pick up these
catalogues before vacation so they
can decide on their courses dur-
ing the recess.
Instructions for registration will
be available on Thursday, April 3
in the registrar's office in Hop-
kins Hall.
Majors
At the present time, the most
popular major is English, with 14
per cent of the junior and senior
classes registered in that depart-
ment. Running a close second is
History, with Political Science,
Physics, Chemistry, and Economics
following in that order.
Those students who have main-
tained high averages in the pre-
requisite courses will be allowed
to enlist as candidates for Honors
Degrees. Aproxlmately 80 are ex-
pected to do so.
Robson Family Gives
Chemistry Fellowship
Tlie Lawrence E. Robson Fel-
lowship for the most outstanding
and deserving chemistry major will
be awarded for the first time In
June, 1959. The funds for the fel-
lowship were set up by the family
of the late Lari-y Robson who was
killed in an automobile accident
earlier this year.
"The Lawrence E. Robson Mem-
orial Prize in Chemistry" will be
a grant of four hundred dollars,
the winner to be chosen by a com-
mittee of three from the chemis-
try department, including the
chairman of the department.
At Williams Robson was a
chemistry major with future plans
in the medical profession. He was
a Dean's List student and served
as recording secretary of Theta
Delta Chi.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement credit for
courses taken in secondary school
was first given by the college to
students passing special College
Board examinations two years ago.
This year for the first time spe-
cially qualified sophomores were,
with the consent of the Dean, al-
lowed to enroll in honors seminars.
Qualified freshmen entering
Williams next fall will be allowed
to complete the requirements for
a degree in less than four years.
This may be accomplished by us-
ing advanced placements credits,
tailing more than the usual five
courses, and eaining credits
through summer school work.
Special Courses
Some departments next year
will offer special courses for ex-
ceptional students, and students
will be allowed to enroll in semi-
nars outside their major field of
study.
Students also will be allowed to
study special subjects not ordin-
arily offered, with a specially as-
signed member of the faculty.
These plans are in conjunction
with a general movement in Eas-
tern colleges to give the more ad-
vanced student an opportunity to
dig more deeply into subjects that
he is Interested in, both within
and outside of his major field.
Pressure had been put on the
committee this year to choose at
least one junior adviser from each
house. A RECORD editorial fol-
lowed by a recommendation from
the Social Council suggested that
the committee make "every effort
possible" to choose one man from
each fraternity.
Every Effort Made
In a Wednesday RECORD in-
terview. Dean Cole .said, "When
the committee began to draw up
the list, the members decided that
they would make every effort pos-
sible to choose one JA from each
house, but they didn't want to be
bound to this by an ironclad rule.
Every effort was made to choose
the JA's on this basis, but when
the list got down to the last 40
or so, the committee realized that
it would not be possible this year."
"The committee members, them-
selves all former JA's, made every
effort to choose those men whom
tliey thought would make the best
Junior Advisers." he remarked.
Junior Advisers were chosen from
all but four hou.ses.
"The committee did restrict it-
self to a maximum number of four
junior advisers from any one
hou.se," Cole added.
Last Issue
With this issue, the RECORD
ceases publication until after
Spring Vacation. The next issue
will be published on Wednesday,
April 9. The Editorial Board,
the Business Board, and their
respective staffs wish all REC-
ORD readers a pleasant spring
vacation and a happy Easter.
Keller Gives Lecture
On Education Change
Mr. Charles Keller, Brown Pro-
fessor of History, discussed the
various steps which have recently
been taken to speed up the educa-
tional process, for the "able and
ambitious student" in a lecture
Wednesday afternoon.
Keller, former Director of the
College Board Advance Placement
Program, stressed particularly the
work done in the advanced place-
ment and early admissions pro-
grams. The former program allows
a student to enter college as a
sophomore after taking college-
level courses in high school, while
the latter plan permits the stu-
dent to condense four years of high
school into three and thus enter
college a year early.
Williams Leads
Williams, Keller remarked, has
pioneered in both the advanced
placement program and in pro-
viding special courses for excep-
tional, students. As examples he
cited the honors program which he
called "quite good," and the re-
cent move to, open seminars to
soptiomores.
There has also been, he stated,
a greater piercing of the "sheep-
skin barrier" between grammar
and high school teachers and col-
lege teachers concurrent with the
"speed-up" programs.

UNWILLING
It is sad that rushuiK and Junior Adisors are
related.
The Junior Adviser can-if he has the interest
and capability-be a very important asset to the
college. His guidance can be a constructive in-
fluence on a freshman's whole college career.
His connection with rushing which is not
strong, but undeniably exists, can diminish the
value of this asset. For rushing can be bitterly
competitive, narrow-minded, and quite out of
touch with mid-century America.
The Junior Adviser Selection Committee, by
its recent choices, has recognized this connection.
A top limit of four JA's i)erhouse was maintained.
Yet it was unwilling— and this would merely have
meant a change of four out of thirty people— to
make the best of an unfortunate situation by mak-
ing this connection equitable.
They did not give every house a JA.
Letters To The Editor
SELECTIVITY ISSUE
To the RECORD:
To whom it may concern, perhaps Messrs.
Hassler, Morse, and Rose:
At the expense of incurring your moral cen-
sine for "selecting"you as the recipients of my
unchristian criticism, I beg a few minutes.
To the chagrin of your patron and Saint,
Carry Nation, perhaps you have by now recon-
sidered publishing your impatiently expected
and more plausible polemic against the admin-
istration for its continual failure to "select" more
than a )Daucity of the many qualified Negroes to
admission to Williams. The national ratio of
Caucasoid to Negroid is about 10 to 1. What
about the Williams ratio? I
Perhaps you are wondering if, in the course
of your moral and ethical crusade, there will
be enough liatchets for the necks of every exist-
ing institution, ])erson, and cellular organism,
all of which, in the last analysis, operate on a
selectivity principle? But, John, how could thev?
History must be wrong, for we are told by the
dissenters "after] serious thought" that "it is an
unrealistic assumption . . . that man has the right
to accept those with whom he feels comiiatible
and reject those for whom he has a distaste . . .
because it is impossible for man to insulate him-
self from those whom he does not like."
Must we now dissolve the family, drop our
church affiliations, and discard all qualifications
for citizenship? Are we now doomed to lose the
freedom of association in addition to the many
other riglits that are being curtailed?
But we all must have causes, mustn't we? Are
you tliree really so arrogant as to imagine that
in your livs you have been following your ideal?
Think! Your recent actions suggest the opposite.
Do you sincerely believe that men are or
can be what your Utopian and unnecessary inter-
pretation of Christianity suggests they be? Was
your individuality so weak that you had to insu-
late it from your former "co)iforming" fraternity
brothers? In your future conferences with God—
I'm certain the editor of "The Tower" can ar-
range the next one— will you advise Him to
jettison His selectivity and let us all through the
gates?
Until the day when you blush embarrassing-
ly at your zealous immaturity, I can only echo the
classic weariness of good ole' Charlie Brown:
"Good Grief"!
John L. Winnacker, '57
ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN
Why can't the combined talents of the Wil-
liams Outing Club and the Department of B and

their Winter Carnival masterpiece in front of
Chapin Hall? It was their idea— now let them do
something about it.

'Williams Campus Writing'
Spark Of Enthusiasm
by Mack Hassler
Writers will be heard, even if they must buy a print shop
and set the type themselves.
J_,iterally this almost happened here last Monday when copies
of "Williams Campus Writing" were distributed to tlie fraternitius
and Baxter Hall free of charge. If this effort was met with Ihu
same sophistication and nonchalance which caused "Comment"
to go into debt last year, we should be ashamed.
Ashamed that tlie Williams student is willing to support or
create nothing more imaginative than his own houseparty or a
rushing committee re]jort.
Until this campus shows more fire than at jiresent, we must
thank these seven authors for throwing another spark of entlm-
siasm into the tinderbox.
Varieti/ of Exj)iTssion
John Ogilvie, creative writing instructor, whose preface leads
off this anthology points to tlie "variety of interest and expression
in the work.
William F. Fox, in "The Trial", has written tlie story of Jcsiis
before the Sanhedrin. Caiphas comes ofl as the most interestimj;
character, but more exciting are the brief snatciies of poetic des-
cription which he experiments with sucli as, "Dawn . . .had slipi^-d
in under night and spread pink rays across her belly."
Peter B. Tacy shows himself a very ambitious poet in tlie
three selections he has included, the most successful of which, 1
think, is "The Young Bullfighter." Beginning with a concrete
metaphor of the bull-ring, he modulates into the more general
subject of a youth's sceptical, faith-seeking predicament.
Charles C. Orinsby uses the perspective of a confederate
soldier and the mother of a Union soldier to retell die story of
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. His use of the speech, phrase hv
phrase with reactions of die characters in between, is dramatic
and successful. None of the characters come aUve except Abe, but
he is enough.
Paul M. Watson contributes four poems each of which seem
to stand well for themselves. Despite one unfortunate title, "Sprint;
in the Berkshires", and a much too long Christmas Eve letter, his
last little poem is the most successful lyric in the anUiology. Eii-
tided "Gramercy Park" and only twelve lines long its ballad-like
verse and rhythms create a definite and pleasant mood.
Vivid, but not Deep
James D. Bell in a short )Mece reconstructs a jiassing incident
in the life of about a 14 year old boy. His exiicriment with this
stream of consciousness writing is vivid but, it does not go as
deeply into the boy's consciousness as one would like.
David T. Ilildretli' study in "Orange" is a description of a
teenage girls drunk. If, as the title suggest, he is intending to
heighten tlie intensity of the ex)Knieiice with this hot color, he is
employing a very interesting device; but he does not carry it as
far as the reader is anticipating.
Raymond A. Montgomery ca|3tures perhaps a prevalent atti-
tude of the American tourist in Euro)5e in his story "Taken". The
time spent in giving an impression of the Spanish )5casaiit Carlos is
well worthwhile for it provides an excellent backdroii for the Am-
ericans to come speeding through in their Volkswagen.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1958
SPORTS CORNER
by Sum Parkhill
One year ago tliis week the RECORD printed a letter from
an Alumnus, who while well nieaninj» was somewhat misinformed
as to the relative Athletie standings of Williams and Amherst. In
the light of the earnage whieh Williams played with the Amhei st
athletic teams earlier this month, to say nothing of the shutout it
dished up to Wesleyan a week previous to that, the letter struck
as somewhat humorous.
In essence the letter by Hamilton B. Wood 10 disparaged the
training habits of Williams athletes, implying a lack of intestinal
fortitude necessary to compete on the same level as the Jeffs. To
Mr. Wood, one year later, I would say that the record of 16 wins
in 19 contests over the Amherst and Wesleyan weekends, speaks
for itself,
In connection with the matter of intestinal fortitude the ])ei-
formances of Williams representatives in the New England com-
petitions in swimming and wrestling as well as the National Col-
legiate Squash Championships, forceably demonstrate that the i
Williams man is not getting soft around the belly.
In swimming and s<|ua,sh particularly Williams emerged from
the ranks of the also rans to gain one tie and one undisputed
chamiiionship. In addition and jierhaps most exemplary of the
finest in athletic tradition was the jjerformance of Boh Hatcher at
the New England wrestling championship. Having not previously
wrestled a complete match this year due to an injury. Hatcher went
on to win the heavyweight division in duee overtime matches, in
one of which he came from behind in the last seven seconds.

THE WILUAMS RECORD. FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1958
Friedman Cites Chief
Problems Of Students
College psychiatrist, Dr. Cyrus
R. Friedman, spoke about the
"Problems of a College Student"
at a colloquium sponsored by the
Student Infirmary Committee,
Distinguishing the college stu-
dent as the adolescent, Dr. F^'ied-
man pointed out that the chief
emotional problem of the student
is his search for "identity." "He
wants to feel at home in his own
body and have an inner certainty
of being recognized by those about
him."
Using two fictitious cases as ex-
amples, Dr. Friedman explained
the ways in which background and
environment of the individual in-
fluences his psychological devel-
opment. He noted that it is often
in relations with a girl that the
student becomes aware of his emo-
tional problems, usually a lack of
self-confidence and belonging.
As for psychiatric treatment a-
vailable at Williams, Dr. Pi-iedman
explained that it consists of per-
sonal talks with the student in
hopes of helping him cope with
his problems.

Proposal To CC
The Gargoyle Society has
proposed major revisions in the
administration of the Williams
foreign exchange program.
In the )'eport currently before
the College Council for action.
Gargoyle suggested that a per-
manent CC committee be form-
ed to correct what it feels to be
major deficiencies in the pre-
.sent loosely-defined program
for foreign students,
The projected committee
would coordinate the finances
and public relations of the vari-
ous plans under which scholar-
ships are presently provided for
foreign students. The bookkeep-
ing for the scholarship funds
would be centralized and an an-
nual financial report presented
to the Council,
In order to keep students in-
formed about the exchange
students, their activities and
backgrounds would be publiciz-
ed and a smoker held annually
to afford wider contact with
the student body. The commit-
tee would also handle fund-
raising for the program.

Amendment, which guarantees the
liome against unreasonable inva-
sions of privacy. In 1928, when the
Supreme Court decided that wire-
in pping is not a violation of the
Fourth Amendment, Justice Hol-
me.s stated in his dissenting opin-
ion that "this is dirty business",
'udge Kenyon heartily agrees with
him.
Wiretapping Horrible
Wiretapping and bugging, the
u.'ie of hidden microphones, are a
"horrible and shocking invasion
"f a person's privacy", yet they
are used by criminals, law enforce-
ment agencies and even business-
men. Federal and some state laws
have outlawed wiretapping, but
'•aw enforcement agencies can still
use it with a court warrant. These
agencies maintain that they must
use wiretapping to catch criminals
who use the same weapons, even
though they are not allowed to
use wiretap evidence in courts.
Privacy Violated
Miss Kenyon pointed out that
wiretapping, by its very nature,
must violate the privacy of people
that have no bearing on the case,
that it is a violation of democratic
"fair play" and should be out-
lawed completely.

Tao Ho Exhibit Opens In Baxter;
Artist Cites Williams Development
By Ted Castle
An exhibit of 30 paintings and
drawings by Tao Ho '60, a Chinese
Bowdoin exchange student, open-
ed Saturday in the ABC room of
Baxter Hall.
ARTIST TAO HO
"Essence of Life"
"The purpose of this show," says
the artist, "is to see my develop-
ment in the two years I have been
at Williams. I started painting in
1950 and developed my own style.
When I came here, my work was
very realistic. Now I'm beginning
to realize my reasons for drawing
a thing in the way that I draw
it — to put something down but to
think about it first. My idea of the
purpose of art is to show the in-
visible essence of the visible ob-
ject I paint. If I hadn't taken art
courses here. I probably wouldn't
have had this development."
Tao feels that the interesting
aspect of art is not an artist's
technique but "what niade him
have that creative inspiration to
make him able to draw a certain
thing in the way that he does. To
put it down is purely mechanical."
He cites the example of his "Ca-
pella," a 3-dimensional design
made of 500 drinking straws glued
in various triangular shapes. "Ev-
erybody can glue straws together,
but the idea behind the design
is creativity — what makes it art."
He objects to much of modern
art because he feels that this
creative idea is sometimes mass-
ing. "People look at something and
say 'How exciting!' I don't know
what that word means. Art is not
just to excite — to shock — you,
there is a plan, an idea which
caused It to be created which Is
important." Tao feels that this
idea is usually unappreciated by
people who generally view art as
a wholly visual experience. "If
art is visual, them if you close
your eyes there would be no art.
I think that the idea would still
be art even if the painting itself
were destroyed."
Tao plans to graduate from Wil-
liams and go on to architecture
school in the U. S. He says that
architecture is the combination of
all visual arts. "If you think of a

Yet a committee is not enough.
The problem can be finally solved only by
the students themselves. They ninst resi^ond to

Letter To The Editor
ANSWER TO WINNACKER
To tlu> RECORD:
lobn Wiiinacker in the last i.ssue of the REC-
ORD expres.sed some \erv sharp erificisin of
Messrs. llassler's, Morse's, and Rose's act of re-
signing fraternity membership. In snjjport of a
belief in selectivity Winnaeker iiroposed that
any objection to selectivity on the |Kirt of the
dissenters is imrealistic and is the kind of ac-
tion that threatens the order of society. The
three dissenters also lay claim to reality when
tlu'N- insist on a man's inabilit\' to insulate him-
self from those he docs not like.
It seems that |ohn has an insup|)ortal)le view
of seleeti\ itv, and that he gra\flv overestimates
the dissenteis' threat to all institutions.
It is efloi tless hut not realistic to identify se
lectivity with the institutions )ohn mentioned—
state, family, cbnreli and college. But the reader
of Winnacker'.s letter can object and draw at-
tention to the fact that we do not select our
families or state. In most cases we are born into
these institntions. Not many )3eoi)le exjiatriate
themselyes just so they can say they are "se-
leeti\'e."
As for ehureh membership, it is recognized
that inember.ship is limited to a common faith,
hut docs this re((uirenieut guarantee that one is
insuhited from i)eo))le he does not like'? Does
'o!>" fi'id insulation in these institutions? Nei-
t'u'r is it reasonable to assume that the dissen-
ters' position ill ri'inaining at Williams, dcsjiite
selectivity of the student body, is a hypocritical
l")()siti()u since these three gentlemen have no
inlhiciict' o\cr admissions )5oliev. It apjiears
then that "all existing institutions" are not
threatened 1)\' llassler, Morse, and Rose.
Vl'.i<irant Conlradietiou
It seems, moreover, that Winnacker's concern
is not for moral law but rather for curtailinent
of freedom. In his (incstion "Are we now doomed
to lose the freedom of association?" isn't there
a flagrant contradiction of his love for freedom
since he taunts the nsi' of indiyidual conscience
and subse(|iR'nt action. Rather than deprive any-
one of freedom of association llassler, Morse,
and Rose were expressing a protest against policy
for which they were partially resiionsible as
menibers of houses.
History is full of the acconnts ol protesting
men; but the story does not stop there, for there
are just as many accounts of intolerance. In most
ethical codes, respect for belief is considered in-
telligent and fair.

In churches he may pass,

Harvard Medical School is one of the most difficult schools
in the coimdy to enter. Each year Williams usually sends a feu
students there. The RI^CORI) was able to interview two of these
stiulcnts, who expressed \astlv different ideas about the Ix^st pre

jiiii C;olhcrg '55 contended that a medical student should lia\(
a liberal arts ba.se to avoid getting in a rut in medicine. "I h:ul

this type of work is the key to success in medical school, (Jtilbei-
believed.
Dick Eearon '57, who majored in English, stated, "I wish I

Trustees Against Soph
Driving Since 1928
The freshman proposal for
sophomore driving permission on
w cekends endorsed by tlie CC last
weolc becomes another part of the
past history of driving at Williams.
Principal action that has been
I alien previously by the Board of
Trustees has mainly concerned it-
self with the problem of college
i)arking facilities, although there
;ire three instances of Trustee rul-
ings or resolutions prior to 1950
,in student driving.
In June of 1928 there was a pro-
posal by a member of the Board to
uspend driving permission for all
-I udenls. Apparently it had been
11! effect for a number of years
prior to 1928 for juniors and sen-
iors. The Ti'ustees ruled at that
lime that, although the Board rec-
1 nized the abuses present, "no
iirastic action sliould be taken li-
miting the personal privileges of
lie undergraduates." A copy of
I lie vote was sent to all parents.
A meeting of February, 1929 con-
sidered a proposal to extend the
use of automobiles to all under-
graduates. The resolution was de-
feated. Again in 1941, a Trustee
proposed the extension of driving
and automobile privileges to
sophomores who had 2 B's and 3
C's. The vote of the Board, how-
ever, was to maintain the current
regulations.
Developments since 1950, with
-he serious curtailment of public
ransportation in the area has in-
creased the pressure for more lib-
ral ruUngs. There have been three
-successive Freshman Council pe-
lit:ons since 1955 for sophomore
driving permission. Two years ago
the faculty voted in favor of the
action but the final Trustee vote
.vas negative.
In 1956 the Trustees did grant
sophomores driving privileges on
Houseparty and special weekends.

College Debate Tournament in
Troy. Williams was the defending
champion.
Debating on the national topic,
the right-to-work clause, the team
won seven of ten debates. The ne-
gative including Tom Synnot '58,
and Harvey Carter '60, won four
out of five debates while the af-
firmative, Dick Contant '59, and
Larry Carton '60, had a three and
two record.
Having won the Siena tourna-
ment in 1956 and 1957, a first
place this year would have award-
ed the trophy permanently to
Williams.
Participants in the tournament
included, Dartmouth, Union, Mid-
dlebury, Le Moyne College (Syra-
cuse ) , American International
I Springfield), St. John Fisher

Eph Grad Wins
Critics' Acclaim
"The Cross of Baron Samedi",
the first novel of Richard Dohr-
man '49, has received high acclaim
by tire critics. Frederic Morton, in
the New York Times of March 30,
de.scribed the work as ". . .cryptic,
hypnotic stews of white and black,
of civilization and darkest Afri-
ca . . .,"
A theme of evil, represented by
the voodoo leader, Baron Samedi
and the innate darkness of his
Haitian realm, overcoming the in-
sufficient moralities of civilized
man throughout.
Dohrman's style of writing has
the intense shadowy, mystic, ropy
flavour as the Haitian voodoo-
land itself. Orville Prescott, in the
New York Times of March 26,
cited "... a destiny to his lan-
guage, a deliberate soft thickness
of texture . . .," a "coiled and
knotty" feel, rich in background
and a continuously high pitch of
tension.
New Purple Knights
Play Modern Jazz
L. to R. HERTEL,
Purple Knights.
A new and fresh sound in col-
lege jazz is making the rounds in
the New England college circuit.
Williams Purple Knights Quintet,
a versatile jazz and dance band,
has established itself as a promi-
nent musical group in less tlian a
year.
Last May the Quintet was or-
' ganized when the larger Purple
Knights Dance Orchestra dis-
banded. Three members of the
defunct group, Tom Hertel '59, Al
White '60, and Bill Paul '60, de-
cided to carry on the Purple
Knights name with an entirely
different type of band.
Under the leadership of Hertel
a smaller, more versatile, and eas-
ily booked aggregation was formed,
when trumpet player Ed Brash '60,
and drummer Dick Moore '60, were
added. With Hertel on piano, Paul
on bass, and White on alto, tenor,
and baritone saxophones the small,
efficient unit they wislied was
completed.
After a limited number of book-
ings in the spring of 1957 and
I much greater successes through-
out last fall and the present year.
PAUL, BRASH, WHITE, and MOORE the
leader Tom Hertel noted, "we've
arrived."
I Versatility — the Key
The Purple Knights have "ar-
rived" the hard way. Featuring
modern jazz in colleges accustom-
ed to the traditional strains of
dixieland jazz, the band has pleas-
ed audiences at such places as
Bryn Mawr, Smith, Middlebury,
and R. P. I.
Hertel cites versatility, however,
as the key to the Knights success.
"Being able to play a good 'soci-
ety' dance sound, hard-driving
jazz at the philharmonic, and mo-
dern jazz also has enabled us to
play every type of engagement
from a Junior Prom al Bryn Mawr
to casual fraternity affairs on the
Williams campus," commented
Hertel.
In the very near future the Pur-
ple Knights Quintet is scheduled
to appear at the University of
Maine, Hamilton, Middlebury, and
a New Canaan, Connecticut, Can-
cer Benefit. Other engagements
later in the spring are expected
to be followed by an extended sum-
mer engagement on Cape Cod.

Baseball Team Drops
Five Southern Games
Travcllinu; south diiiiiii^ .s|iiiiiif vacation, the \aisitv baseball
team en^ancd in six contests with three difterent opponents as
they compiled a 1-5 record.
The opening contest ai^ainst Elon ('olleij;e in North Carolina
lonnd tiie Ephs unprepared to lace a strong team already
untler wav in its rei.^nlar season schedule and dropped
cision. Following this game on
Monday the 24th. rain plagued the
team for the next three days,
forcing them to play two double
headers on Friday and Saturday
with Pheiffer College. On Friday
the team dropped both seven inn-
ing games by 6-0 and 6-4 scores
and repeated the performance on
Saturday 7-6 and 5-0 in two more
abbreviated contests.
The team moved north on Sun-
day and was rained out in a sche-
duled game with Rutgers. Tues-
day a break in the weather allow-
ed the team to grab their only win
of the trip over Upsala 2-1.
Although the record is far from
impressive, coach Bobby Coombs
thought "the team made a good
showing on the trip." The pitch-
ing started off weak as expected
but. Coombs felt that the boys
who were able to pitch on two
different occasions showed defi-

On their annual practice trip

of Virginia.
Travelling to Lexington, Va. on
March 23, the team had two days
of practice before playing W and L
on the latter's field. The game was
a hard fought contest between the
two evenly matched teams. Pull-
ing ahead by a 4-3 score midway
through the third period, the Ephs
began to slack off on the attack,
as Washington and Lee moved in-
to a 6-4 lead. The final score read
8-6 in favor of the opponents.

The varsity tennis team won
two and lost two matches on the
spring trip. Two matches were
rained out during the Southern
practice session.
After one day's practice, the
team defeated William and Mary
8-1 at Williamsburg. Two days of
rain which cancelled the first of
two matches with the University
of North Carolina followed.
Then the squad suffered a se-
vere trouncing by the powerful
Tarheels, 14-0. Last year at home,
the Ephs had defeated them 5-4.

Letter Criticizes Williams Publicity;
Wants Change In College Viewpoint
To the Editor:
A fr('(|M<'iitly disciLSsed and seldom acted ujioii topic at Wil-
liams over the past lew years lias been that of publicity, specifi-
cally s|)orts ]iul)licitv. Despite the industrious attempt of a few in-
tercsteil in(li\ icluals to iui|)rove upon this condition, the jiroblem
lias reuiainetl a jrra\e one, and in the lif^lit of it-cent administra-
tion ap|)oiutuu'iits ill other small collej^es, the situation at Wil- ;
liams will prohablv be e\'eii jrraver in the future. j
The i)lame lor the jireseiit state of affairs can be traced to;
two sources: ;
(1) The administration, whose position and policy on puhli- 1
city has been poorly thouj.;lit out, disori.iaiii/.ed, and imjiractical
under its present status, and
(2) The student body, who, with the exception of the few
individuals refeired to abo\c, show a (general disinterest toward.s
this condition. Duriut; the \ydst four years the "News (Sports) Bu-
reau" was seldom manned by sludi'iits who had the interest of
the collcfre at heart, the result beint^ that many of the athletic '•
contest (aside from football) were written up with a very small
dei^ree of accuracy.
SufTp-steil ways to eliminate some of the problems are as
follows:
(1) The creation of an office which would deal solely
with the publicity of the collei^e, headed by an admiiiislrator who
had no other duties and obligations. This would be a full time job
for one person.
(2) A change in the administration's \iewpoiiit from that
of the status c|uo to one where they would acknowledj^e that an
elfective publicity pr()<j;ram would raise the prestiife ol the school
and in the loiif^ rim pay di\idends for the moncN' that the new
"office " would cost now.
(3) This |)ublicity office, in order to be siiccesstul, would
need to be manned by interested and capalile stiulents who are
not interested solely in i^ettins^ some money Irom the collei^e or in
huildiii'j; up an im|n('ssi\e list of extracurricular acti\ities.
The time has come to stop talking about the problem. Some-
thiiii; should be done iiisteatl. The recent change of the "News Bu-
reau" to the "Sports Bureau" has not proNcn succi'ssful, e\ce])t in
the occasional instances of considerable indi\idual effort. lmio\a-
tions like student-sponsored dinners for pios|)ecti\'e freshmen are
a step in the ritilit direction. Most Williams men are iirond of their
colleije and thi'v should take an acti\"(! part in makiiisi; it better

Moliere Farce To Open Tuesday For 2-Night Rm;
Quinson, Eva Cofiin To Star In 'Malade Imaginaire
By Bill Edgar
Moliere's "Le Malade Imagin-
aire" will be presented at the AMT
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Director John K. Savacool, of
the Williams French Department,
calls the 17th century masterpiece
a study in character with the form
of farce.
The hypocondriac Argan— one
of Moliere's most famous crea-
tions— seeks attention from others j
by pretending he is sick: a study
in loneliness and man's ridiculous
efforts to escape from it.
Horseplay
Yet the play takes the form of
Italian "Comedia dell'arte" i which
Savacool translates as "horse-
play") with stock characters, pan-
tomine interludes, a doggerel "in
illation" in fake Latin, and satiri-
cal songs.
Starring in his fourth appear-
ance in Williams French plays is
Bruno Quinson '58, as Argan. Eva
Coffin, veteran of Broadway and
wife of Williams College's chap-
lain, will appear as Argan's wily
servant Toinette. Also billed are
Bernard Lanvin '58, (Cleante),
Hansi van Arlen (Argan's daugh-
ter Angelique) and Nancy Hirsche
iBeline).
The plot, though complex, has
a simple outline; when he discovers
he can solve life's problems by
playing sick, Argan tries to marry
off his daughter to a doctor. He
is frustrated by Toinette and the
natural reluctance of Angelique.
Moliere's last play, "Le Malade
Imaginaire" acquired a legendary
character at its third presentation
in 1673. Moliere himself, playing
Argan, actually fell sick on stage.
He struggled through the perform-
ance, was carried home, and died
soon afterwards.
The Williams production isets
lames \\. liuriis, Professor of Political Science and pri/.e winniiiff author, announced Thurs-
day that he is a eaiididate for the Democratic nonnnation for Congress in the predominately Re-
piiblieaii first Coni^ressional District of Ma.ssachiisetts.
Burns must first win the Democratic nomination in the September jirimary. As yet he knows
of no primary opposition, "hut it is possil)le that some mi<j;ht develop". Then he will have to face
incumbent Republican John W.
Heselton, a 14-year member of
Congress in a district which has
not seen a Democratic Congress-
man since 1898.
"I don't think the odds are a-
gainst me," Burns stated. "No dis-
trict is so safe for the incumbent
that he can ignore endless unem-
ployment, acute school problems,
industrial decline, mounting tax-
es."
Jobs, Education, Security
In a prepared statement Burns
promised a practical campaign
based on "the most urgent local
problem" — jobs, "the most import-
ant long term problem" — educa-
tion, and "the most serious prob-
lem, now and always," — national
security and world peace.
r Burns observed that "Our pre-
1 sent Congressman is not a good
I representative. He has become cold
and inaccessible ... I promise that
if elected I will be available every
day of every week, every week of
every year to discuss problems
with my constituents."
"Exciting Experience"
Burns noted that "to jump from
the Ivy Tower into the political
arena is, of course, an exciting
experience.
"At the very least, I expect to
get a practical education; at the
very most, I hope to have the
chance to put into effect in Wash-
ington some of the ideals about
government I have long held.
"As a teacher at Williams since
1941, I naturally look forward to
making the problem of education
one of my key planks in my cam-
paign. To improve our schools aird
attract the best people into teach-
ing ... we must have real partner-
ship between the local, state, and
national governments."

Though Burns, Williams profes-

one of many Williams graduates
to enter the political field.
The most notable politico in re-

If Burns' candidacy is successful,
he will also become a colleague of
David Dennison '40, representative
from Ohio.
In all, Williams graduates who

The greatest representation of
Williams men in the Federal leg-
islature was in the period between
1820-1844 when 30 alumni took
part in shaping our nations poll

way of politicians was the class of
1811 which produced four con-
gressmen.
CC Open Meeting
The College Council will hold
an open meeting in the Rath-
skeller Monday evening at 8:15
to consider the problems of
yearbook finances. Although all
council meetings ai'e open to
the public, it is hoped that this
meeting in the Rathskeller will
encourage a large number of
students to attend.
President Hyland notes that
there are two broad alternatives
for future Gul financial ar-
rangements. F^st, the cost of
the yearbook could be shoulder-
ed through a student tax. Al-
ternatively, costs might- con-
tinue to be met by individual
subscriptions and advertising.
Hyland said further that since
the book has finished "In the
red" during the last few years,
this will be an Important policy
decision.

Insurance Officer
Discusses Outlook
"Competition and Regulation In
the Insurance Industry" was the
subject of the speech given April
9th in 3 Griffin by Mr. Radford
Smith, Jr. Mr. Smith, Executive
vice-president of the Insurance
Company of North America, was
introduced by Professor Sheahan
of the Economics department.
Mr. Smith mentioned that the
new look in insurance is dynamic
and he encouraged young men to
enter this field. In demonstrating
the industry's tremendous growth,
he pointed out that the insurance
companies now have assets greater
than the value of all farm land
and buildings.
Control Problem
Most of Mr. Smith's talk was a
summary of growth and control
of the industry from pre-Civll War
to the present. Specially treated
were anti-trust cases and the pre-
sent attempts of tariff fcompanies
to control the rates of those com-
panies who would let rates be es-
tablished by competition.

DEMOCRAT BURNS

James MacGre^or Buiii.s '39, professor of
political .science, is the first member of the facul-
ty to be a camliclate for Con<^ress. lie has been
active in Democrat politics for ininiy years and
is internationally known for liis |)rize-vviiminji;
biojj;raphy, "Roosevelt— The Lion and the Fox"
(1956).
"I first j;;ot interested in taking part in pol-
itics as a Williams sophomore when I worked
for Roose\clt and the unsuccessful Democratic
candidate for Congiess." Since then Burns has
headed the Rerkshire C'ouiitv Presidential cain-
paisjiis in '4S, "52, and '56. lie was chairman of
the Williamstown Democratic Committee for
se\eral years. He was a delegate to the Demo-
crat National Convention in .52 and '56.
■ In 1953 ho was Massachusetts chairman of
. Americans for Democratic Action wlien the now
Go\ernor Foster Fnrculo denounced the group.
Burns defended it then as he does today. "1 think
the ADA lias a good jilatform because it is very
close to the Democratic platform. It has been
(|uite effecti\e in raising issues but not very ef-
fective politically. "
Kcnncihi for President
In 1952, Burns characterized a proposed
G.evenson-Keunedy national ticket as "unbeat-
able" and "a natural. " "1 think it would have been
; trongcr . . . Kennedy is among the front runners
fur the Democratic nomination in 1960. 1 cer-
iaildy would vote for him. Mr. Stevenson's pol-
riical jiower is (now) very small'".
liiirns has had a good deal of experience in
l.i.bor relations. Dining World War II (after ser-
\ ing in the Pacific) he worked in Denver for the
War Labor Board as a mediator in the copper
mimng and refining industries. 1948-1956 found
him as chairman of the Berkshire County United
Labor Committee. "I served as a king of co-or-
dinator of the unions in this area. When the
AF"L and CIO reimited, the committee ended."
He went to school in Lexington ("The birth-
place of American liberty") and received an
M.A. degree and a Ph.D. at Harvard. Living on
Park Street with his wife and four children. Burns
enjoys vegetable gardening ("I'm strictly a utili-
ty man") tennis and skiing.
Burns has also written "Congress on Trial"
(1949) and co-authored "Government By The
People" (revised 1957). He began to teach at
Williams in 1941 becoming a professor in 1950.
REPUBLICAN HESELTON
bif Toby Smith
Republican John VV. Heselton, incumbent
Rc]iresentative from the First Massachusetts Dis-
trict, will opjjose Burns in this fall's Congres-
sional election.
He has been in Congress for 14 years, rep-
. resenting a constituency which has not sent a
' Deinocrat to Washington for over 60 years.
He has never been opposed for the Repub-
lican nomination for his office, and has piled up
a great deal of seniority on House Committees.
In his first term he was appointed to the House
Committee on the Post ()fficc and Post Roads.
In the 8()th Congress, Heselton became a mem-
ber of the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerces.
A subconnnittee of this committee is currently
investigating "improjicr practices" of the Federal
Communications Commission in connection with
a Miami television station.
Said Burns about the role of Heselton on that
suheominittee: "1 went to Washington two weeks
ago to look into the reliability of widespread
newsjiaper reports that our Congressman had
been extremely active in trying to stop the in-
vestigation of the Federal Communications Com-
mission that has already resulted in the resigna-
tion of one FCC commissioner. I was told by the
mf)st reliable persons in position to know that
these newspaper reports were correct."
Heselton graduated from Amherst with high
grades and studied at Harvard Law School. In
1931 he came to Massachusetts from Maine
(where he was boni in 1900) to work for the
law firm of Stoddard, Bull and Bartlett.
In 1937 he set up his own offices and short-
ly became district attorney for Franklin and
Hampshire counties in the northwest part of the
state.
Letter To The Editor
FOREIGN STUDENTS
To the RECORD:
The Gargoyle jiroposal mentioned in your
i.ssue is indeed an interesting one. Mr. Pelhani's
comments and your short editorial on tlu? jjropo-
sal both shed some light on the issue.
In the past, when students from abroad went
to study outside their own coimtries, they were
going abroad to study the system which was in
force at home and to ac(|nire the best and some-
times the only qualifications for workhig within
that system.
.'\t the present time tiiis is no longer the case.
Many of these countries now have their own in-
stitutions of learning, some of which command
world-wide resjiect. Also it is no longer impera-
tive for students from abroad to accjuire their
education in foriegn countries in order to be of
any significance at home. While the value of
foreign education still commands the highest
respect and attention at home, it is no longer the
only key to high positions of res|5onsibility and
leadership.
Investigators Role
The student who comes from abroad to study
at Williams or at any other American school, or
the American student who goes abroad lor his
education, is assuming a role not only of student
but of an investigator, observer and a full partici-
jjant in the society and the life he is seeking to
fintl out more about. He is coming in order to in-
vestigate a different social, economic and politi-
cal system, a different cultm-al system, and dif-
er(-}it iiislitutions and methods of education. He
lop^'s that com|oaris()H will suggest new ways to
deal with different |or()bIems of life and society,
and that a knowledge of the American system and
of the methods and a|)proach of American educa-
tion will aid him in solving |)roblems which in-
volve both.
Being a foreign student myself, I feel it is
time tiiat the college community, and the student
body in ]iarticular, take the initiative in solving
the problems which exist.
Problems
These jiroblems can be summarized as fol-
lows:
1 ) The problem of admitting, suiijiortiug
and financing a greater number of foreign stu-
dents than foiMid at present at Williams.
2) The problem of maintaining a constant
and continuous and positive contacts between
foreign students and the college community at
large.
3) The contributions must not be one-sid-
ed. Foreign students Uiemselves must take more
responsibility in assisting directly and indirectly
their fellow American students to learn more
about them.
The solution to the first problem must come
from not (july the students who have been the
main source of assistance in the past, but the Ad-
ministration itself should provide for more finan-
cial assistance to allow at least twice the num-
ber of students to come from abroad as we have
now. Today we have half as many foreign stu-
dents as Amherst or Wesleyan.
Stigncstions
The second problem is more difficult and
complex. The following suggestions arc offered
for consideration :
1) Certain interested [uniors should be
chosen each year to act as "advisers" to foreign
students. These individiuils are not to be con-
fused in their position with the present J.A.'s, or
the faeidty advisers. Their roles would be more
intimate, personal and more or less on social-
academic basis. The object and aim of their as-
sistance is mainly to help the students froin a-
broad to adjust to his new life and to prevent
him from turning into an island in the midst of
a strange land.
2) Each house on campus could im'tiate
a ]Dlan through which these students are invited
to attend either individually or as a grouts on
various occasions to participate in their social life.
Freshmen among foreign students must be given
special attention despite the barrier that exists
today because of the Rushing System. Faculty
and members of the college coinmunity, as well
as alumni of Williams near the campus, .should
be informed annually of the foreign students
and encouraged to invite these students to their
homes as often as possible, especially during va-
cations.
3) Students, various organizations on cam-
pus and all academic and social units should
and must allow students from abroad greater
opijortunity to participate fully and positively in
the school activities, despite the obstacles which
should be anticipated in their ca.se.
Adinittedly these suggestions are far more
ambitious than what can be allowed under prc-
.sent cncumstanccs. It is hoped, however, that
the CC will find some of them useful and help-
ful m its present study of this crucial problem.

SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE: No. 3
Onoe again the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, bless their tat-
tooed hearts, have consented to let me use this space, normally
intended for levity, to bring you a brief lesson in science.
They are generous, openhanded men, the makers of Marlboro,
hearty, ruddy, and full of the joy of living, as anyone can tell
who has sampled their wares. In Marlboro you will find no
stinting, no stinginess. Marlboro's plea.sures are rich, manifold,
and bountiful. You get a lot to like with a Marlboro-filter,
flavor, flip-top box, and, in some models, power steering.
The science that we take up today is called astronomy, from
the Greek words astro meaning "sore" and nomy meaning
"back". Sore back.s were the occupational disease of tlie early
Greek astronomers, and no wonder! They u.scd to spend every
blessed niglit lying on the damp ground and looking up at the
sky, and if there's a better way to get a sore back, I'd like to
hear about it. Especially in the moist Mediterranean area,
where Greece is generally considered to be.
Lumbago and related disorders kept astronomy from be-
coming very popular until Galileo, an unemployed muleteer of
Pamplona, fashioned a homemade telescope in 1924 out of
three Social Security cards and an ordinary ice cube. What
schoolboy does not know that stirring story-how Galileo
stepped up to his telescope, how he looked heavenward, how
his face filled with wonder, how ho stepped back and whispered
the words heard round the world: "Let them eat cakel"
TH^EAr CP^^L
Well sir, you can imagine what happened then! William
Jennings Bryan snatched Nell Gwynne from the shadow of the
guillotine at Oslo; Chancellor Bismarck brought in four gushers
in a single afternoon; Enos Slaughter was signed by the Ihm-
seatio League; Crete was declared off limits to Wellington's
army; and William Faulkner won the Davis Cup for his im-
mortal Penrod and Sam.
But after a while things calmed down and astronomers began
the staggering task of naming all the heavenly bodies. First
man to name a star was Sigafoos of Mt. Wilson, and the name
he chose was Betelgeuse, after his dear wife, Betelgeuse Sigafoos,
prom queen at Michigan Stat« from 1919 to 1931.
Then the Major Brothers of Yerkes Observatory named stars
after their wives, Ursa and Canis, and Witnick of Harvard
named one after his wife. Big Dipper, and soon all the stars
were named.
Astronomers then turned to the question: is there life on
other planete? The answer was a flat, unequivocal no. Spectro-
scopic studies proved without a doubt that the atmosphere
on the other planets was far too harsh to permit the culture of
the fine tobaccos that go into Marlboro Cigarettes ... And who
can live without Marlboro?

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1958
Sports Corner
hi/ Sam Parkhill
In answer to the letter on college jjnblicity submitted by R. T,
Man- '57, and printed in the April 9 issne ol the RECORD, News
Bureau president, Chnek Dmikel, '59 had this to say; "Mr. Man-
deals with an ini|}()rtant iirohleni at Williams and his evaluation of
the present situation has considerable merit. However, his insinua-
tions about the attitude of News Bureau members in the past four
years aijpear both unfounded and erroneous."
rnblieity Director Raljih Renzi commented on the letter by
Marr, "the letter makes sense, b\it it is a (|uestion of dollars and
cents. The administration is fully coj:^niy.ant of the problem but
aren't ready to take money from other areas to su))port a full time
sports publicity director. Good coveraj^e of sports," Renzi stated,
■'is impossible, however until a man is jMit on the job full time."
While we are on the subject of publicity, it seems apparent
that the lacrosse team is destined to draw its siiare of recoj^nition
to Williams, perhaps this year and certainly next, with one if.
This if concerns the selection of a lacrosse coach to succeed [im
Ostendarp. Lacrosse is definitely on the ujiswing and with the
pr()|5er coaching could reach a top standinjr in thi' next year or
two. Thus it is imperative that the new ment<)r be more than just
someone to fill die j^ap, but rather a man with an established re-
putation as a lacrosse coach, who can contimie to l)uild on the
irood material already here. This is the tmniuff jioint for lacrosse.
Results of the s]irin^ football intrasqnad panics in the south
slilj leaves uncertain what coaches plan to do on the |)oints after.
The new rule allows a team to fj;ain two points by rushinj^ the ball
on the P.A.T. and the conventional one point for a kick. In four
practice panics at Duke, North (Carolina, South Carolina and
Wake Forest twenty touchdowns were scored but the toe method
(if conversion was used but twice. Wake Forest didn't even have a
kicking formation, (loaches aujreed however this was no indication
iif their tactics next lall and most stated it would depend on the
eireunistances of the ffame.

Purple Key Banquet
Slated For May 18
On May 18, 1958 the Purple Key
Society will sponsor the second
annual Block W dinner, in the
iroshman dining room of the Stu-
dent Union.
As guest speaker the Purple Key
has been able to secure the ser-
vicos of Otto Graham, former
quarterback for the Cleveland
Browns, National Football League
team. Graham retired from pro-
fessional football at the end of
the 1955 campaign after nine years
with the Browns.
The purpose of the Block W din-
ner is to honor all those at Wil-
liams who have won a letter in a
varsity sport as well as the mem-
bers of the Purple Key selected to
serve next year. Attendance is re-
stricted to lettermen, coaches and
special guests only.
At the Banquet monograms will
be presented to the letterwinners
in all sports, certificates having
been presented at the individual
sports banquets.
This is Boots, the Williams Club Cat. He is one
of the fattest cats in the United States and this is
why: he dines on a daily diet of vanilla ice cream.
Now if that is what the Williams Club feeds its
cat, imagine what you will be able to order . . .
in the GRILL ROOM. Men only. Pine-panelled. Bar
in corner. Piled-high steaming plates. Rim-full frosty
glasses. Efficient waiters. Or in the "girll" room.
For you and .vour date. Intimate. Flatteringly lit.
Voluptuously carpeted and upholstered. Sexy. And
no finer food and drink in NYC. Wait. That is not
all. Did you know that the Williams Club is one
of the most reliable, fleetest-footed, theater-ticket
services in New York? It is. When you come right
down to it, the WC is an ideal spot for The Big
F,vening to begin. Come right down to it soon.

CHRIS SCHAEFER, '59
Ernie Fleishman '59, and Chris
Schaefer '59, were elected co-cap-
tains of the varsity squash team
for the 1958-59 season at the an-
nual squash banquet March 19.
Activities
Fleishman played in the number
seven slot on the varsity this year,
compiling a 6-4 record. Next year
he moves up to four. In addition
to squash, he plays varsity tennis
and is president of Phi Gam fra-
ternity, a Junior Advisor and sub-
scription manager of the Williams
Record.
Schaefer played number nine,
finishing the season also with a
6-4 record. He will move up to five
next year. Last year he played on
the varsity tennis team.
Next Year's Team
Coach Clarence Chaffee's var-
sity squash team next year will
oc bolstered by three sophomores.
Greg Tobin, who played number
.,wo this year will move up to one,
while John Bowen and Pete Beck-
with go from fifth and sixth to
the second and third spots, re-
spectively.
The racquetmen will be out to
improve this year's seven and three
record despite the loss of their
captain and number one man, Ol-
lie Stafford.
Union Ends Spring Drill
A news release from Union Col-
lege stated that the Garnets had
completed their Spring football
practice. Coach Keith Doyle, who
views the '58 season with optimism,
revealed that the scrimmages have
produced about thirty promising
candidates for next fall's squad.
The ten-day practice which
orought out fifty candidates con-
centrated on fundamentals. The
new coach will have to rely heav-
ily on green ballplayers because of
Che high graduation losses. Only
nine lettermen will return next
September for practice. Doyle
believes that he will have two
equally good backfields.

weekend of May 10. Originally
scheduled for the weekend of
April 26, it was postponed in
hopes of better weather. An-
nouncements and schedules for
the weekend have been sent to
parents.
Parents are Invited to attend
their sons' classes Saturday
morning and the student musi-
cal, "Ballyhoo", which will be
presented Saturday evening. A
special chapel service will be
held Sunday morning.
Improve Teachers' Salaries
In addition the council asked
support for several measures which
it felt necessary to raise the stan-
dard of education in America. A-
mong these were the provisions
that the salaries for teachers and
scientists be "doubled". It also ad-
vocated that "Scholarship pro-
grams stress . . . graduate as well
as undergraduate work."
The council recommended in-
creased amounts of money for
fundamental research and "other
forms of scholarly activity". Nev-
ertheless, it advocated local and
state aid as opposed to federal
grants. The latter is to be used
only as a supplement to the others.
Another attack on anti-intell-
ectualism was delivered in a special
report on education by fourteen
editors of alumni publications.
This indicates that society is be-
ginning to find it necessary to re-
spect the educated man in order
to produce him.

ttlligence and mental capacity

Miss Moore To Read
Poems At B-Town
Marianne Moore, the brilliant
American poetess, will deliver a
Hading of her own works at the
Carriage Barn in Bennington
Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m.
Since her first volume of poems
was published in 1921, Miss Moore
has achieved a position of fame
:uid prominence in twentieth cen-
'ury poetic circles. In recognition
of the quality of her writings she
has recently been awarded both
l^he BoUlngen and Pulitzer prizes.
Among the many notables who
liave praised her work is modern
poetry's flag-bearer, T. S. Eliot.
Impressions and effects of Miss
Moore's poetry can best be des-

she .says, "comes into and steadies

himself "a life prisoner, but re-

Princeton Report
Hits Eatiiig Clubs
The Princeton Interclub Com-
mittee recently stated that it "dis-
approves on moral grounds of ra-
cial and religious discrimination."!
The Interclub Committee is an
undergraduate body which coor- 1
dinates elections to the eating
clubs. It has been the subject of
much recent student criticism.
The controversy flared up in
February when twenty-three so-
phomores, about half of whom
were Jewish, were rejected by all
but one of the seventeen under-
graduate eating clubs.
The committee held that it "has
a moral responsibility to do every-
thing within its power to eradicate
racial and religious discrimination
wherever it may exist within the
club system." It suggested no im-
mediate remedy.
"Redress the Balance"
Princeton's president. Dr. Ro-
bert F. Goheen, stated that he was
satisfied with the committee's
statement. He said, "Some have
assigned a greatly exaggerated
place to this in the club election
recently completed, but this state-
ment should help redress the bal-

CC Hears Gul Report;
Referendum Proposed
The editors of next year's Gul-
ielmensian presented their case for
inclusion of the Gul price in the
college bill to the College Council
Monday night.
Involved parliamentary convolu-
tions and heated commentary by
CC members, Gul editors and the
audience ensued. (See page two
for arguments.)
A proposal was then adopted
that the Rules and Nominations
Committee and tlie Council Com-
mittee on Finance draft a refer-
endum regarding the Gul.
NSA
After a report by Ron Stegall,
followed by con.siderable discus-
sion, the Council approved a mo-
tion setting up a committee to join
the National Students Association
for the college, Dick -Wydick '59,
and Al Martin '60, voting In op-
position.
The CC accepted a motion by the
Rules and Nominations Committee
proposing membership of the new-
ly-formed Current Affairs Com-
mittee. John Phillips '59, was nam-
ed as chairman. Other members
include Bill Edgar, Jack Betz and
Jim Rayhill of the class of 1959,
to be augmented by two juniors
and a freshman next fall. This
group could revive the work of the
defunct Institute of Politics.
Phillips read a statement on the
plans of the committee. Their

Williatn S. Coffin was still we'll kept .Monday iiij^ht.
Despite police inxestijration, which hv then had eeiiti-red almost entirely on the sliideiit body,
and scores of rumors, the prankster or would-be fanatic was still iniknowii.
l"he shot was fired Satmdav niglit some time between 10:30 and 10:4.5 from a distance of 60-
6.5 feet away directly into Mr. Coffin's .study. Town police chief |ohn D. Courtney |r. reports
evidence also suggests that a car
was used.
Back to Window
Only Miss Ruth Morgan, the ba-
bysitter, and Amy. the three month
old daughter of the Coffin's, were
home, for the parents had gone to
the movies. Although they both
were upstairs at the time of the
shooting. Miss Morgan said that
she had been sitting most of the
evening with her back to the
window through which the shot
was fired.
■When the Coffins returned, they
discovered that the 400 shotgun
pellets had spewed bits of glass
more than twenty feet through
Mr. Coffin's study and into the
living room. Miss Morgan said the
baby had jumped at the sound
of the gun, but she had thought
that it was a car backfiring. After
the Coffins showed her the glass,
she .said, "I was so nervous I was
shaking.''
. . . Fraternities?
■William S. Coffin, who next year
will become the Chaplain of Yale,
is the nephew of Henry S. Coffin,
late president of Union Theologi-
cal Seminary. In his one year at
Williams, Mr. Coffin has often
spoken out boldly on knotty cam-
pus problems. The most recent of
these has been a controversy over
fraternity selectivity in which he
supported three students who re-
signed from their houses.
Asked if he felt that his opin-
ions on fraternities were the cause
of the shot, he quickly replied that
he had no idea. But he added, "If
so, somebody scares awfully easy."
"Nothing Ever Happens"
Eva Coffin, w'ho is currently
playing a lead role in "Le Malade
Imaginaire" at the AMT, is the
daughter of Arthur Rubinstein,
the concert pianist. She is a for-
mer ballet dancer and actress,
having appeared in the Broadway
production of "The Diary of Anne
Prank."

conference on problems of the nu-

litical and scientific figures, to be
held October 3-9. 1958.
Len Grey '59, chairman of the
Permanent Rushing Committee,
reported that the mechanics of
Moliere's acute satire of the na-
ture of man sparkles vividly
throughout most of the production.
Yet. when it opened at Amherst
last Sunday, it lacked .some of the
precision which the script de-
mands.
The play comes from the age
of Descarte's mathematics and
Charpentier's well-wrought music.
The 'Williams production, however
— perhaps because of understand-
ably inexperienced acting in some
parts, perhaps because of the in-
fluence of more modern acting
techniques — had a few loose ends.
Bruno Quinson's interpretation
of the hypochondriac Argan was
sympathetic, at times poignant.
His lively performance came closer
than any other to the 17th cen-
tury mood. Eva Coffin was a pol-
ished, but not quite studied e-

alist heroine.
Hanse 'Van Andel is very pretty

CONFUSION
The College Comicil hold an oix-n meeting in
the Rathskellar Monday iiiglit. Its jiurpose was
ostensibly to generate interest in student gov-
ernment. Only three disinterested observers visit-
ed the scene.
The sijectacle to whicli they were subjected
amounted to nothing more than a dog-fight a-
mong the xarious factions of foinier and ])resent
Old staff members. Each argimient was rooted in
firm understanding of yearbook finances, but the
total effect was nightmarisii conhision.
Faced with the inemiable task of knifing
throiigli tliis labyrinth of conflicting opinions, the
Council did the'only thing it could do. It tabled
a motion which would ha\'e forced students to
hiiv the vearbook if diey did not state otherwise
Ijcfore October 1-a plan originally ijroi^osed by
the RECORD (Mar. 7) a .scant thirty-five days
ago.
CoMMiiment is a slow and tedious business-
('S|uci.illy college government. Discussion of the
yc arbook iMobk-m now re\erts to the CCF where
it slioiild have been thrashed out long ago. "O-
pcM decisions, openly arrived af'might stimulate
student interest, but without thorough study of
the issues in committee, no decisions can be
reached.
The original RECORD jilan is, perhaps, im-
practical, l)ecause it would give the Gul staff
no greater security for signing its contracts in
the s]5ring.
To aid the CCF in its search for an answer,
the RECORD proposes an alternative:
Cive the Gul staff greater security by es-
tablishing a fund for possible subsidization in
the CJCF. The amount of this reserve cash would
be decided by the Council financial body, but
if the yearbook were to finish with a deficit of
less than the CCF's figure, it would be automati-
cally covered with CCF funds.
Yet on the other hand, if the Gul should re-
port a deficit in e.\cess of this figure, the year-
book staff wt)uld have to make up the difference.
Student initiative would remain ]5aramount in
Gul financial oi^erations. Yet at the same time,
yearbook editors could sign contracts for a high
(juality hook in confidence that a small deficit
could be financed.
The Arguments
In die College Council meeting, Monday
niglit, the discussion dealing with the Cul's nro-
|)osul that it be fuianced by a general student
tax was characterized by heatecl debate and a
wide diversity of o])inion.
Ari!^ui)wiits for Gul sitbaidt/:
Tom White, co-editor of the Gul, defended
die Gul's proposal on the gounds that student
ajjathy and the rising cost of |)rinting was mak-
ing it almost impossible for the Gul board to
turn out a "quality" yearbook. He stressed the
importance or a good annual in relation to its
|)restige value for the school and its role as a
l)ermanent record of the college year.
Anti-assistance argument:
Tom Pi])er, former business board member of
the Gul stated that widi more initiative and in-
genuity there would be no need for the liscal
jjlan submitted by the present Gul board.
Compromise Plan:
Bill Ilarter, CC member, suggested that the
students be given the option of either having no
Gul or having it jiart of their bill. Those violent-
ly opposed to receiving the college yearbook
would be able to cancel their subscription by
calling the Gul office.
Conciliatory efforts along diis line culminat-
ed in the adoption of Len Grey's motion that the
Rules and Nominations Committee work in con-
jiniction with the CCF to work out the referen-
dum.
'Holiday In The Berkshires
By Dave Skaff
Holidav writer Ste]ihen Birmingham in his
recent article on the Little Three mentioned
tliat he is subject to a "recurring nightmare"
based on I'reshinan English at Williams. His ar-
ticle suggests a pleasant dream.
His impressions of what we know of Wil-
liams and the Little Three are largely fantasy
befitting a large circulation travel magazine. Per-
ha|)s his article will stir tourists to \enturing to
Williams to "sjiy a bone-hard core of New Eng-
land Puritanism as tough and flinty as New
England soil." Oin- "thriving country town with
few temptations for dissi|)ation and vice" should
prove a tourist's Mecca.
Many Williams students will be suqjrised
to learn that four or five in a class is "not un-
usual" and that classes "frequently are held" in
professors' homes
With an eye to Williams, Wesleyan, and Am-
herst's distinctiveness, Birmingham sees a great
gap bridging these schools and sucb schools as
Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. In taking issue
with a Yale man's view of Little Three schools
as "reasonable facsimiles" of the Big Three, he
gives a totally false impiession of the smaller
schools to support his view. There are differences,
but the similarities are much more in evidence.
The Little Three man "goes to hear more
visiting lecturers, subscribes to more concert ser-
ies, attends more college plays, joins more col-
lege organizations, becomes more involved with
student government, goes in for more intiamural
athletics." We wish this were true.
A New England sense of morality and em-
phasis on values with which we are steeped is
beautiful to read and to make our chests swell.
Perhaps, it makes Holiday's circulation rise?

Co-existence: Challenge To Society I
"The logical alternative to co-existence in the therino-nuclrar
age is co-aunihilation," warni'd Professor FrtKlerick L Schunuib in
the fifth Student Union ColKxiuium on corcxisteiice with Russia
last Thursday evening.
Professor Schmniui, preceding pani'l member Dean ViiKvnt
M. Baniett and moderator Harry Ashbaugh "58, said the ehoic, js
one of striving for the good life or universal cK'ath antl p()sm!,|\.
the extinction of humanity through atomic suicide. The debali is
not between these alternatives, hut of terms by which co-existduc
can be made most tolerable, l(!ast dangerous, and most construe live
for mankind.
The problem, continued the )-)olitical scientist, is an old mic
dating back to the October Revolution in 1917. By the suinnui ol
1918 both sides ))referred non-co-existence. The allied and assoc , .[-
ed powers wanted to strangle Bolshevism in its na.scent stage; ilu.
cominuiiists hoi)ed for world revolution. Botli sides failed in (li. n
goals. Soviet desire for co-existence first became evident in l'i!()
and has since re-ap|)eared whenever we'steni tlncats on Soviet
existence has receded.
"During the past dozen years of tlie cold war, America goid-
ed to mass fear and hatred by the provocations of Stalinism Ins
tended to base its policies on a central falsi' assuinptioii tiiat lie
challenge of Soviet Comniunisin is primarily a military challenu. ,"
observed Mr. Schimian. A corollary false assumption is that su-
perior military power will contain and e\en through |)ressure nid
conununist rule. We shoukl realize both these assumptions ic
false maintained Professor Schuinan since: "Coimnimist rule m
China is here to stay; communist ruli- in Russia is here to stay."
C7i(///(')i^r'
The challenge of Soviet power, according to the professor,
is a scientific, a technological, educational, anil cconoinie cJiallennc
It is an economic challenge because Russia, altliougli still far Ijc-
hind us, is expanding at twice the rate of the Amerie;ui econoinw
Russia lias also shown more interest and imagination in de\'eJo|)-
ing the underdeveloped countries containing two-thirds of the
human race. Nor can educational i^rogress in Russia be met liv
armaments.
"The challenge facing us is to better otn- science and technoln
gy, to better our education, to reform our economy in the inter-
ests of greater stability, and to raise thi' living standards of the
worlds poor." Mr. Schumaii added that we are also ehallengetl to
]5ractice what we preach in regard to e(|uality, regardless ol race
color or national origin. A negotiatetl co-existence is tjie altenia(i\c
to a cold war stalemate or co-annihilation. The )io]itieal seienli'.l
contended that America could meel tlie S()\iet cliallenge coii-
structix'ely. Negotiations ol a iikkIus \i\('ndi would be beneliii.i!
to both sides and all mankiiul.

on the basis of a negotiated si'ttlement. Military disengagement
will aid in eliminating friction and encourage the evolution of in-
stitutions best suited to their needs.
Political Conflict
Kennan contended that the Hussian threat is basically |iolili-
cal. The best hope for peaceful co-existence is through direct negn
tiations on political conflicts between Russia and the United Stalt v
The combination of political and military disengagement wiili
diplomatic negotiations between the two blocks are Kennans
hopes for co-exi.stence.
Dean Barnett agreed with Schuinan and Kennan that it is ini-
jjcrative to seek some accommodation between the two conflii I-
ing power grou))s. He felt, however, that militarv disengagenu nt
would be unwise because, "in the ])resent state of the world aiil
with mutual distrust, a position of military strength is an iniii^-
pensable )}re-i"e(]uisite without which negotiations cannot |)i'i-
fitably proceed."
In addition to keeping abreast in catastrophic weapons, it
is also essential to improve om- ]iolitical, economic, and educatii n-
al strength. American advantages in these s|)lieres can be empli i-
sized by more effective government leadership, Dean Barii' tt
stated.

Longer Time Asked
In Amherst Rushing
While Amherst achieved 100
per cent rushing tor the seventh
year, there were rumbles of
dissatisfaction with the rushing
system after the 4 -day rush in
March.
The principal objection to
the present setup seems to lie
in the impossibility of forming
intelligent opinions of both
houses and of freshmen in the
four-day period allowed. In a
poll taken by the "Amherst
Student", a longer rushing peri-
od or legalization of dirty rush-
ing emerged as possible solu-
tions.
Of the freshman group, 52
per cent favored a longer rush-
ing period and 77 per cent felt
the restrictions on dirty rush-
ing were useless or detrimental.
Of the upperclassmen, 44 per
cent favored longer rushing.

Best Poems Win
Award Of $m
For the fourth consecutive year,
the Academy of American Poets
will offer a prize of $100 for the
best poem or group of poems sub-
mitted by an undergraduate at
Williams,
This award was made possible
by the bequest of Mrs. Mary Cum-
mings Eudy, a former member of
the Academy. When the contest
was originated in 1954, Williams
was one of ten colleges chosen to
offer the prine, the others being
Chicago, Harvard, Princeton, Rol-
lins, Smith, Stanford, Vassar, Vir-
ginia, and Yale.
Previous Winners
Last year's award went to Pat-
rick B. McGinnis, '57. Other win-
ners have been Travis Merritt '55,
who is carrying on graduate study
in English at the University of
Clricago, and J. Wilson '56, who is
presently teaching at the Grace
Church School in New York City.
Two members of the English De-
partment will act as judges and
the winner will be announced at
Commencement. To be considered
for the prize, poems must liave
been written by an undergraduate
now enrolled in the College and
must not have been published ex-
cept in a local undergraduate pub-
1-cation. Entries for the contest,
which closes May 1, may consist
of a sequence of poems or a group,
not exceeding five, of individual
poems. Professor R. J. Allen, head
of the English Department, is in
charge of the contest.
.solved: That this house approves
of the principle of athletic schol-
arships on the college level." Each
•school sent both an affirmative
and a negative team.
Schools participating in the
tournament were: Choate, Deer-
field, Gunnery, Portsmouth Priory,
Stratford (Conn.) High School,
Wilbraham, and Worcester Acad-
emy. Bad weather made it impos-
sible for Taft, Hotchkiss, and An-
dover t^ get to Williamstown.
Program
In four preliminary rounds of
debating, Deerfield and Gunnery
won the chance to participate in
the finals. These preliminary
rounds were held Friday night and
Saturday morning in Griffin Hall
and the Williamstown High
School.
The finals took place in Room
3 of Griffin Hall at 1:30 on Sat-
urday, and the negative team of
Bill Webster and Jay Huffard won
the trophy for Deerfield. Dean
Cole, Rev. Lang of St. John's Epis-
copal Church, and Professor Con-
nelly .served as judges. Between 50
and 75 people attended.
Chairman Tim Coburn called
the tournament "very successful"

Scrimmage Wins
Scoring 41 points in two scrim-

crosse team downed the Univer-

scores.
Faced by a weak U. of Mass.
I cam at Amherst Thursday, the
Ephs opened up their attack be-
hind George Boynton and Nick
Ratcliffe. High scorer for the af-
' moon was Ratcliffe with four
sioals and one assist. He was fol-
lowed by Roger Southall (three
Ksals) and George Boynton with
i two goals, five assists.
Freshman Scrimmagre
At Colo field on Saturday the
varsity encountered the freshman
lacrosse team in another informal
scrimmage. The game was called
before the end of the third period
but not before the varsity had tal-
lied 21 goals. Again Boynton and
Ratcliffe led the scoring with four
goals, five assists and four goals,
one assist respectively.
This was the first scrimmage
for the freshmen, who are seeking
to duplicate last year's undefeated
freshman record. The varsity,
however, commanded the game
completely except for the third
minute of the second period when
Eric Widmer, Paul Reyes, and Tim
Weinland scored back to back.
Eight minutes later Weinland
scored again with help from Bill
Whiteford for the fourth and final
freshman goal.
further practices and has not en-
abled coach Len Watters to make
a realistic appraisal of the squad
as yet. The team will open the
season with an away contest with
R. P. I. on Saturday, April 26.
Although the team has only been
able to practice as a unit since
the spring vacation the battery
candidates held several workouts
in the cage prior to recess. The
team's pitching staff will probably
include Sam Weaver, John Leech,
Jim Prick, Don JMonroe and John
Whitney with Tom Condron, Tom
Fox and Tad Day competing for
the receiving position.
With the large number of can-
didates and the possibility of good
weather, the two weeks remaining
before the season begins should
produce a good freshman squad.

Leonard, Turner Score In Doubles Match
TH^WjU^MMSJlECORD, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 16, 1958
The Williams College varsity
tennis team went down in defeat
to a powerful Princeton squad at
the Tigers' courts on Saturday.
The Ephmen lost 7-2, but the re-
sult was much closer than the
score indicates since they dropped
4 three set matches while winning
only one.
Eastern Intercollegiate singles
champion Jim Parrin quickly dis-
posed of captain Karl Hirshman
in the first singles match by a
i;-2, 6-1 count. Farrin scored heav-
ily with his powerful ground
strokes that had Hirshman con-
iiintly hitting off balance.
In the second singles match,
Tom Shulman scored an upset in
dumping highly regarded John Mc-
Lean C-4, 6-3. The Ephman kept
the pressure on his opponent from
I lie baseline and scored heavily at
Jie net.
Leonard-Turner Win
Dave Leonard, Joe Turner, and
lirnic Fleishman were all one set
up on their opponents only to lose
iiie next two sets. Turner led his
man Jeff Arnold, a former high
ranking junior player, 6-3 and 5-3
only to drop the match.
The Williams number six man
Tom Davidson also lost a close
one as Williams fell behind by a
decisive 5-1 score. Leonard and
Turner turned in a victory in the
doubles to score the second Eph
point.
The match was held in overcast
weather, and the previous day's
rain forced it on to Princeton's

By John Good
Resigning assistant professor of
music, Walter NoUner made his
last appearance as glee club di-
rector at Williams before a small
audience in Chapin Hall Sunday.
The occasion was a joint concert
given by the Wellesley College
Choir and the Williams College
Glee Club.
Except for the small audience
it could be generally stated that
NoUner bowed out in style. His
glee club for the most part sound-
ed polished and performed cred-
itably, especially in harmony with
the 72 voices from Wellesley.
When the groups .sang separately
before intermission, Wellesley stole
the show. Two renditions especially
stood out; Mozart's "Ave verum
corpus" and Franck's "Psalm One
Hundred and Fifty".
The Williams singers, for their
part, also did a good job. In Du-
fay's "Magnificat", however, their
only separate performance of the
afternoon, the loud passages were
better than the soft, giving the ef-
fect of unevenness.
Byrd's "Second Service" and
Bach's "Cantata No. 131" which
the groups performed together
were both satisfying renditions,
the former work being the better
of the two. Unity of these two well-
disciplined choral groups in the
final nimibcrs produced a beauti-
ful harmony, and concluded a
highly enjoyable afternoon of mu-
sic.

Seventy-eight Seniors (out of a
class of 236) are currently winding
up work in Williams' Honors Pro-
Kiam, now in existence for four
years.
Since it was initiated in 1954,
the Honors Program has grown
fist in popularity. At the begin-
ning 56 Juniors were enrolled. Next
f;ill tha class of 1960 will enter its
.lunior year with 127 men follow-
ing the honors route to a Williams
liA.
Taking honors gives the student

iitmic independence and greater
( oncentration in a field of partlc-
'ilar interest to him, through ei-
lier a thesis or a series of semi-
lars.
16 In History
The history department claims
he highest number of honors stu-
'lents, 16 men. Eight members of
I lie class of '58 are doing honors
\i'ork in Chemistry and English.
■\t the other end of the ladder,
'Illy one senior is doing honors
ork in Economics, while the Psy-
hology Department boasts only 2.
In Biology prodigious investiga-
tion usually precedes the required
thesis. Di^ve Friedberg '58, for
I'xample, has been examining the
'ffect of fat diets on producing
■symptoms of heart disease In
thickens. It is said that Friedberg
lias slain upwards of eighty chick-
Pn.s in his quest.
Economics Project
The sole senior majoring with
Honors in Economics, Dick Attt-
veh, has refrained from writing a
thesis. Instead he is doing inde-
pendent study of the theory and
practice of urban redevelopment,
Retting considerable practical ex-
perience out of the problems of
North Adams, where he has done
much of his field work.
In the Psychology Department,
a typical hard-working Honors
student is senior Ed Snyder who
is doing a thesis on, "The Rela-
tion between Occupational Status
and Attitude." Snyder has done
much of this work in cooperation
with the Roper Institute, an aid
he has found invaluable.
Questioned as to the merit of
majoring by the Honors route,
Snyder said; "It can open up lim-
itless fields of knowledge to the
ambitious student with initiative,
energy, and a real desire to im-
prove his intellect."
Groundwork Laid For
'59 Career Weekend
Groundwork is being laid for
next year's Career Weekend.
Placement Bureau Director Man-
ton Copeland, Jr. has announced
that it will be held at the end of
January, and the undergraduate
Career Weekend Committee, head-
ed by Bill Tuach '59, will meet
next week to discuss preliminary
plans.
Changes in format— particularly
the Friday night forum which
drew some sharp criticism this
year — are being considered. The
student Committee will also study
a questionnaire sent to participants
in this year's weekend.
Sponsored by the Placement
Bureau to assist undergraduates in
choosing a vocation, Career Week-
end—in existence since 1955— is
now a recognized college event.
The undergraduate committee
works In conjunction with an a-
lumni committee, to be headed
next year by Joseph D. Stockton

Bell Telephone Company and a
member of the Office of Defense
Mobilization,

fin was acting in the AMT's pro-
duction of "Le Malade Imaginaire."
Lynn Rice, the baby-sitter em-
ployed by the Coffins to take care
of their 3-month old daughter
Amy, became hysterical when she
heard the blasts. Next-door neigh-
bor Howard P. Stabler notified the
police immediately.
An investigation by Police Chief
John Courtney indicated that the
explosions had been caused by two
cherrybombs. It -is believed, how-
ever, that the person who fired
the shot last Saturday was not
the person who threw the cherry-
bombs.
Mr. Coffin returned from New
Haven at 6 o'clock Thursday morn-
ing. At noon Mrs. Coffin was still
visibly shaken by the Incident.

Coflin Shotgunning
/;(/ Joliii D. Phillips
The men res|ionsible for last Saturday's shotgun attack on the
home of ('haplaiii W'illiaiii S. Coffin have been ai)prehended.
Williamstown Police Chief John
D. Courtney, Jr., announced last
night that two Williams students
had signed confessions to the
shooting, and implied that a third
student might be involved.
The students were released On
$50 bail and tried in the Williams-
town District Court this niorniiig
on the double charge of malicious
damage to property and carrying
a loaded firearm in an automobile.
They pleaded guilty and were fin-
ed $125. Whon asked in court why
they chose Chaplain Coffin's
house for their action, they refused
to an.swer.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock they
will fnce the Student-Faculty Dis-
cipline Committee with the possi-
bility of expulsion from college.
The case was handled by the
William.stown police force in co-
operation with college authorities
and RECORD staff members. This
combined effort to track down the
attackers began early Sunday
when police pinpointed the time'
of the shooting and began inves-
tigating college shotgun registra-
tions.
On the basis of this preliminary
information, plus fragmentary
knowledge received from Williams
students, the pohce were led to be-
lieve that the attacker was a stu-
dent. Several suspects were rigor-
ously interrogated. That was Tues-
day night.
On Wednesday, police inquiries
in the Southworlh Street area un-
covered evidence of more than o^e
student involved in the case. Both-
Mrs. Coffin and her neighbors
said that they recalled seeing a
dark bronze car passing slowly in
front of the Coffin home at least
three times during the day on
Saturday.
One man stated to police that
at 10:30 Saturday night, while
standing in his driveway, he heard
a shot and saw a car roaring up
the street from the direction of
the Coffin residence. He described
the vehicle as a dark bronze Pon-
tiac or Chevrolet of late forties
or early fifties vintage. Police con-
cluded from this evidence that at
least one student besides the gun-
man was involved.
Still, authorities lacked evidence
pointing conclusively to any par-
ticular students. Hnally, on Thurs-
day, they uncovr-red Information
on several students which checked
with the circumstantial facts of
the case.
They were immt-diately question-
ed by local police, and by late
yesterday afternoon the confes-
sions were secured. .
31 Incoming Juniors
Select Physics Major
An unprecedented 31 incoming
juniors registered- in the physics
major for next year.
The jump, including 16 honors
students, was the largest of the
year, and thrust Physics Into third
place of favorite majors.
New Science Emphasis
Physics professor Ralph P. Winch
attributed the increase to "a gen-
eral trend, placing greater empha-
sis on the need for scientists, es-
pecially for military research."
Winch stated that the physics de-
partment had noted increases in
the last three years, but cited this
jump as "most unusual."
In other fields, English retained
its customary place as the most
favorite major, gaining 41 junior
applications. History again was
second, and recruited the greatest
number of new honors students
with 21.

Letters To The Editor
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
To the RECORD:
For the \rdi>t two moath.s I have witnessed
with the rest of the VVilliaiii.s C-olk'i^e body the
j^rowth of an issiii- to a |)lRii()iiiciial proportion:
thixt issue is selectivity and aloiii^ with it arose
what arc to inc uij;ly \iscious offsiiots. 1 do not
intend to deal with the problem of selectivity
but to point up certain attitudes and trends
which, althouj^h they are the minority, are pre-
sent to wliat 1 consider an alarminf^ degree in
this supposedly liberal colleu;e.
I think many Williams Collej^e students have
forgotten, if they ever knew, how to respect an-
other persons point of view, csiiecially a highly
idealistic one. Wiien a man like Mr. Coffin e.\-
l^ressed his views on seleeti\ity, a lot of Williams
students stopped to listen and gave his views due
consideration, even if in the final analysis they
disagreed with him. Other gronjis, however, on
CcUnpus reacted differently. "It was not Mr. Cof-
fin's place as Chaplain to denounce the frater-
nity system or attempt to win support for a non-
fraternity type of organization— after all, he knew
what he was getting into before he came to Wil-
liams." Some students think our beliefs and ideals
are |)ackaged commodities to be bought and sold
onlv as we jilease. If a commodity becomes hard
to sell and is not the politically expedient thing
to do, then don't e\en try to sell it, it's not worth
the effort.
If a fellow student or a professor holds a
radically different view or a strongly idealistic
one, is Williams Colleg;e any place for him to
express it'P Especially if it in some way threatens
the existing social structure? Only if he has the
guts to endure the ridiciding, dumping and lam-
pooning he will take from the student body. If
his view is radical enough and threatening e-
nough to the social order, the man is apt to get
full covi'rage in the latest issue of our nuid sling-
ing, good old college humor magazine. Enough
is enough!
These are bitter and disillusioned words of
a bitter and disillusionetl student but there is a
plea behind it all. If a man e.xjjresses a view you
disagree witii, don't take a sliotgim and puni|)
lead through his windows, ilon't throw st()ii(\s at
him in the local humor magazine, but discuss
and refute his arguments intelligently and, if you
can't do this, then sit down ami consider "may-
be this guy has something on the ball after all."
And above all, stinuilate an atmospheic in which
llu'se views can be expressed fri'clv without de-
rision—let me clarify my last point. Time Mag-
azine recentlv <|uoted a Harvard man saying,
"our undisci|ilinables are our ]ir()udest liroduet."
I wonder if a grt'at ninnber of Williams students
don't regai'd our eonforniist, our non-thinkers,
oin- disci)5linables as our proudest products.

MARRIAGE IN COLLEGE
Rt/ William G. Cole
Dean of Freshmen
In the spring, so 'tis said, a young man's
fancy lightly tinms to thoughts of things girls
have been thinking about all winter. The vernal
sap is a|)parently rising in the veins of the editors
of the RECORD, for they have asked me to pen
a few immortal words on the subject of Mar-
riage in College.
The Zeitf^eist has gone balmy, for this is the
fourth set of editors who have re(|uested such an
article! Why the age-old ways of a man with a
maid, ways that lead by ancient legerdermain to
an altar should attract so much attention and in-
terest is, I confess, something of a puzzlement,
as Anna's king of Siam would put it. It is a com-
mentary on the brevity of hmnan memory, on the
stubborn tendency to regard present practice as
primary.
All the contemporary stir over the growing
number of married shidents rests ]iartly on the
illusion that it is somehow imwise for peo]ile to
enter wedlock before they have arrived at their
middle twenties.
Actually, prior to the industrial revolution,
with its accompanying demands for training and
education, when an agricultural society regard-
ed children as economic assets, as hands to work
rather than as mouths to feed, marriage in the
late 'teens or early twenties was the rule rather
than the exception.
Our own assmnptions about what is "early"
for marriage arc based upon com|5aratively re-
cent custom and circumstance. It simply takes
longer today to arrive at the economic indepen-
dence which western society regards as the sine
cfuo non writ large over the portals of mah-imony.
But economic security, important as it is, is
no guarantee of a happy or successful marriage. A
far more essential ingredient is that vague cpuility
known as emotional maturity, which is not auto-
matically achieved with the passing of a requi-
site number of years. Some people never grow up;
othtrrs mature surprisingly early. And in this re-
.spect, college sttiaents who marry are not very
different from their elders.
Some of the marriages arc excellent, entered
for all the right reasons and with all of the flex-
ibility and tmderstanding necessary to grow to-
gether. Others arc tragic, representing a flight
from loneliness, parental domination, or a gen-
eral malaise, filled with false expectations and
illusions, doomed to failure from the start. The
decisive question one has to ask about any mar-
riage is not when but why.
Obviously, any student who takes that trek
to the altar is sacrificing some of the freedom
and the; dalliance of his bright college years. But
he may have arrived at the point in life where he
is ready to settle down and enjoy a greater sta-
bility.
Interestingly enough, marriage frequently
improves a man's academic status markedly. His
new responsibilities give him a new seriousness of
puriiose, a new concern about his tasks. And he
is delivered from the distractions of the social
whirl. He no longer has to spend those hours on
the road to and from Northam)5ton, South Had-
ley, Poughkeensie, etc. He .stays home nights!
But it is not all beer and skitdes.
Frecpiently the economic |)rohlems loom large,
especially if a family is started. Parental op)iosi-
tion and sometimes parental hovering over the
infant marriage can be oppresive and stifling.
Conflicts occasionally arise over the luisi)ancVs
desire to s|)end an evening now and then at the
fraternity. But the reefs threatening a student
marriage are not necessarily any more deadly
than those which imperil any iminn between a
man atid wife. No marriage is without its difficid-
ties, both internal and external, and rlo difficul-
ties are so great that they can^ibt be worked
through, given a degree of matltfttyand trnder*
standing on both sides, , .

I have recently received sevenil letters from renders which

SIR: '
Maybe you can help me. I came tip to college eislit years
ago. On my very first day I got into a bridge gume in tlie
student union. I am still in the same liridge game. I have never
gone to class, cracked a book, or paid any tuition. All 1 do
is ])lay bridge.
To explain my long absence and keep the money coming
from home, I told a harmless little lie. I said I wa-s in medical
school. This made Dad (my father) terribly proud. It also
enabled me to keep playing bridge. We were both very happy.
But all good tilings nnist come to an end. Mine ended when
I came home for Christmas vacation. I arrived to find that
Sister (my sister) was in the hospital with an ingrown sjileen.

a hot-food cart on the way to the scrubbing room.
"Oh, never mind," chuckled Dad (my father). "Hariow (me)

Well sir, what could I do? If I told the truth I would make a
laughingstock out of Dad (my father) who had been bragging
about me all over town. Also I would get yanked out of school
which would be a dirty shame just when I am beginning to
understand the weak club bid.
There was nothing for it but to brazen it out. I got Sister
(my sister) apart all right, but I must confess myself completely
at a loss as to how to put her back together again. Can you
suggest anything? They're getting pretty surly around here.
Sincerely,

Dear Harlow:
Indeed I do have the solution for you— the
solution that has never failed me when things
close in: Light up a Marlboro! Knots untie as
you puff that fine rich tobacco. Shade becomes
light as that grand flavor comes freely and friend-
lily through that splendid filter. Who can stay
glum when Marlboro gives you such a lot to like?
Not I. Not you. Not nobody.
SIR:
Just off the campus where I go to school there is a lake
called Lake Widgiwagan. Thirty years ago when my father was
an undergraduate here he went fishing one day in Lake Widgi-
wagan and dropped his Deke pin in the water. He dived for
days but never found it.

LeRoy, Todt Starting Pitchers In
Weekend Baseball Season Openers
Sophomore righthanders Ned LeRoy and Hill Todt will start
on the mound as the 1958 Williams baseball team opens its sea-
son with away games against C:oli)y and Bowdoin today and to-
morrow.
In an effort to get more hitting |
strength into his line-up, coach f
Bobby Coombs has given sopho-
more Tom Tierney the starting as-
signment at second base, and mov-
ed Bob McAIaine to center field.
Infield
Juniors Bill Hedeman at first,
Rich Kagan at third, and captain
Rick Power at short will round out
a solid infield. Tom Christopher
will open behind the plate.
Along with McAIaine, Bob Iver-
son will open in left field and
Norm Walker in right. Rich Lom-
bard is available for reserve duty
in the outfield, while sophomore
Jim Briggs is slated as the infield
utility man.
Coombs will use J. B. Morris as
his front line relief pitcher against
the two Maine teams.
Meet A. I. C. Monday
A. I. C. of Springfield will op-
pose the Ephs in the local opener
Monday at four p.m. on Weston
Field.
Eph Lacrosse Opens
'58 Season Tuesday
Officially beginning the 1958
season, the varsity lacrosse team
will meet Union on Cole Field
Tuesday.
Prospects for the contest heav-
ily favor the Ephs, who dumped
Union last year by a 13-5 score at
Schenectady. Another pre-game
factor is last year's freshman score
over the Dutchmen J. V. — 29-0.
The starting lineup for Tuesday
will probably shape up like this:
attackmen George Boynton, Nick
Ratcliffe, and Pit Johnson, mid-
fielders Wheels Miller, Dick Lisle,
and Rog Dankmeyer or Jim Ri-
chardson, defense Dave Andrew,
Dick Jackson, and Dick Siegel, and
Koalie Jock Jankey.

Middlebury Saturday
Williams College's varsity traclc
team will open its 1958 .season as
il plays host to a fair Middlebury
squad this Saturday at 2;00 on
Weston Field.
The Eph team should be strons
in the running and fair in the
field events. Chip Ide will carry
Williams' hopes in the 100 yard
dash. Captain Bill Pox will start
in the 440, in which he holds the
College record, 49.0 seconds,
while George Sudduth will start
in the 880.
Outstanding in the field events
for Williams will be Charlie
Scheighauser in the high jump. He
holds the College record at 6', 3;«".
Coach Tony Plansky is also
counting on sophomores Dick Eb-
erhart, in the low hurdles, Colin
McNaulI and Elliot Morse, in the
two mile, and Bob Pi-ancis in the
discus.
This year's squad will hurt by
the loss of Karl Schoeller, who set
the College javelin record at 187'
C.'i" at last year's Middlebury meet.
Coach Plansky is somewhat wor-
ried about the team's lack of depth
and definite weaknesses in the
javelin, broad jump and pole vault.

Hitler Gave Germans
Identity With Destiny
' Speaking to a large audience
Wednesday night, Prof. Robert G.
L. Waite dealt with the problems
of Hitler's rise to power.
Waite suggested that this sub-
ject involved several views, in-
cluding the development of Nazi
ideology through influential men
such as Luther, Hegel, and Niet-
zsche, Hitler's appeals to specific
sociological groups, and the social-
psychological tht'ory that modern
man seeks per.sonal strength in
identity with a strong dictator as
an escape from I he overwhelming
real world.
The compelliiic; personality of
Hitler, said Waite, was also in
strumental in liolding the Nazi
movement together and giving it
the necessary fanatical impetus.
It was easy for "Herr Average" to
identify himself with this "funny
little man." More important, at
a time when the rest of the world
Meyers To Study
At The Sorbonne
Bob Myers '60, will spend his
junior year at the Sorbonne in
Paris. He will be there as a par-
ticipant in the Sweetbriar Junior
Year in France Program,
The program is not set up on an
exchange basis, but it sends ap-
proximately ninety American stu-
dents each year to study in French
Universities. All the students in-
volved have advisors under the
program provisions. Myers' advi-
sor is Professor Secor, chairman
of the Romance Languages depart-
ment at Dennison College.
Myers, who is a history major,
will receive major and course credit
for the courses he takes. He plans
to take a course in art at rEcole
du Louvre, a French literature
course, and two history courses at
L'institute des Etudes Politiques;
all in Piench.

I was vacillating and tentative. Hit-

fallibility of Destiny. The hypno-
tic effect of his speaking, both on
himself and his listeners, produc-
ed a conviction above reason in
both that he was always superna-
turally, right.
The politics behind Hitler's
Glorious Revolution was somewhat
less supernatural. In 1933 all other
alternatives had failed: Hitler's
was the only dynamic policy,
riiough he had appeals for speci-
fic groups, he also appealed across
class lines to such higher instincts
as patriotism, morality, selfless-
ness, and the clean German ideal
personality.

IN THE TWENTIES, up-to-date college

What's the rage on campus today?
Raccoon coats. The Charleston. And
Luckies! The conclusions are obvious.
1. Luckies were tops for taste in the
Twenties and still are. 2. Smart smokers
knew it and still do. So any gal who
takes Luckies to a Roaring 20's party

still be in style!

the student a moral order and an
awareness that survival is the rele-
vant issue in American society
today.
The big problem is to overcome
people's apathy. "Survival is ev-
erybody's job."
Mr. Gray's lecture was especially
pertinent at this time. In touch-
ing on the problem of radioactive
fallout, the speaker again brought
to the fore the problem of discon-
tinuing nuclear tests. Russia has
already proclaimed an end to such
tests and Eisenhower has announc-
ed that the United States may fol-
low suit after the successful com-
pletion of our current testing ser-
ies.

The two students who attack-

have been expelled from the col-

After a brief review of the
case, the Student-Faculty Dis-

the expulsion to President Bax-
ter. Baxter followed the com-
mittee's recomendation and ap-
proved the expulsion on his re-
turn to Williamstown Sunday
morning.
Official notification was sent
to the students Monday. Ap-
peal against the decision might
be made to the President, but
it is unlikely that a reversal
could be obtained.
Infirmary Plans
New Facilities
Nearly half of the $10,000 grant-
ed to Williams by the Ford Found-
ation last year will be expended to
build a new wing on the college in-
firmary.
According to Dr.Thomas Urmy,
Head Physician, the construction
will be completed by the beginning
of the 1958-59 school year. The
"new wing" actually amounts to
a remodelling of the sun proches
on the South side of the building
to provide increased bed and of-
fice space. Two-thirds of the space
thus created will provide room for
tliree more beds on the second floor
and increased office facilities on
the ground floor. The remaining
one-third of the porch space will
be made into a fire escape running
the height of the building.

ties was demonstrated earlier this

Besides the many Williams students, uhout a dozen Beniiine;-
ton girls are working in the show, inuliidiiig [udy Cohen, who is
lieljiing John Co.stello '60, with choreography and the vocal di-
rector, Kay Reynolds.
Costumes are being designed by Mrs Olga Sears, veteran

Among the principals in the
show are Linda March, Jennifer
Rains, both of Bennington, and
Mrs. Keith Griffin. Ivory Paine,
who lives with Mr. and Mrs. Giles
Playfair, Is a member of the cho-
rus. Playfair, who is director of

Recordings
On Sunday. April 27, the cast
will record the music of the show
on 12-inch high-fidelity records.
The recording will be produced by
Ted Castle '60, and made by the
Audiosonlc Recording Co. of New
York. Stan Lawder '58 is design-
ing the covers.
Six hundred copies of the album
will be sold in the foyer of the
AMT after the performances of
May 2, 3, and 10. They may also
be ordered by mall. Explaining the
recording Castle stated, 'We are
able to offer this recording of very
high professional quality at two
dollars less than Broadway cost
recordings because, of course, our
expenses are far fewer than they
would be In New York".

College Council Action
htj Ted Ciistle
In one of the most constructis'c meetings of the College Coun-
cil to date, ti\e conti'ovcisial issues were discussed and action was
taken decisively.
John .Mangel '.59, chairman of the C(> llouseparties Committee
proposed a iilan to tax e\ery student ap]ir()xiniatelv $10 in the
fall to co\er the cost of three all-college dances and tliree .Satur-
day houscpartv activities. The (Jiniiieil opposed the placeiiient of
this tax on the aminal college hill hut \()ted 9-3 to allow the Social
Council to a]ipro\c' the tax unaiiimouslv at the first meeting in
the fall if the frateiiiities would hack the action. A single house in
opposition would kill the jilaii. Freshmen and non-affiliates would
he allowed to elect the tax individually.
Complimentary Ads
Tom Piper '59. of the Finance
Committee introduced a measure
to relieve friction between the col-
lees publications and the Spring
Street merchants who contribute
to these organizations largely or
purely for public relations. The
system would solicit advertising
fiom the merchants who wish to
join the plan at one time for all
(10) college-affiliated publications.
The businessmen would thus be
exempt from wholesale and unex-
pected solicitation, of which the
Williamstown Board of Trade has
recently complained to the Col-
lege. Piper stated that all publica-
tions involved were agreed that the
proposal should be put into effect.
It was approved unanimously.
The Gul
Palmer White '59, chairman of
the CCP, recommended that the
Gulielmensian (college yearbook)
be given one more year in order
to justify their contention that the
book should be placed on each
student's college bill. The CCP
proposed to guarantee the Gul edi-
tors up to $925 to cover a possible
debt while working with the Busi-
ness board to find the most effec-
tive means to avoid a debt. The
plan was approved 11-1 (Rorke).

vance notices lead us to believe.
Spring Houseparties, with its cen-
tral theme of 'Carnival', cannot
help but be a success." These are
the words of Tom Fox, freshman
representative to the CC and co-

Editor Faced By Duel
The Amherst "Student" be-
came the center of a controver-
sy last week when an English
graduate student challenged one
of the editors to a duel.
The graduate student, Keith
Morris, termed the caption on a
picture of him as "outrageously
offensive." The editor, with tra-
ditional Amherst modesty, "re-
served comment".
Class of '61 has engaged Marshard
for the All-College Dance in the
Freshman dining room of Baxter
Hall, and Phinney's Favorite Five
will play for jazz enthusiasts in
the Freshman Lounge the same
night.The decoration committee is
under the direction of Butch An-
derson '61.
Carnival
A carnival will be held In the
Freshman Quad from 6-8:30 P.M.
Saturday evening. Wif Floyd '61,
chairman of the carnival commit-
tee, plans miniature golf, a rat
race, and a strength tester among
others. The featured attraction will
be a bike race, with two members
of each class participating. The
price for most booths will be ten
cents per ticket. At the AMT the
carnival spirit will al.so hold forth
with performances both nights of
"Ballyhoo".
The freshman class also plans a
dance Saturday evening from 9-12
in the Rathskeller. The Modern-
aires will provide the music.
Student Body To Join
National Organization
By virtue of a College Council
decision last Monday night, the
student body of Williams College
will soon become a member of the
National Student Association.
The NSA, with headquarters in
Philadelphia, has over one million
members in more than 360 col-
leges and universities across the
country.
As the largest and most repre-
sentative student association in
the United States, its decisions and
opinions are considered both in
the United States and around the
world as typical of American col-
lege students.
Student Officers
The NSA is headed by a .slate of
officers elected annually from a-
mong delegates to a national con-
vention. The officers leave school
for a year to direct the organiza-
tion.
The NSA directs a scholarship
program which annually brings to
the country over 100 foreign stu-
dents and sponsors a travel pro-
gram which sends 500 Americans
abroad every year.
A library of information on stu-
dent government problems, main-
tained by the NSA, will be avail-
able to the College. In addition a
biweekly newspaper and a monthly
magazine are published.
The World University Service,
the American Council on Educa-
tion and UNESCO are also activi-
ties in which the NSA is Involved.
Membership In the organization
will cost $60.

Letters To The Editor
EXCLUSIVE TRADEMARKS
To the RECORD:
Although we are em|)lo)'ed by a firm in eom-
IK'tition with Wallace l.aboratories, we feel that
voiu' misuse and iniss|ielling of the trademaik
Miltown" in the April 9th issue of the RECOHD
constitntt'S a grave threat to trademarks in gen-
eial. We think that this misuse reveals a friv-
olous attitude and we respectfully re(|uest that,
in the future, when referring to a maiiufactmer's
trademark such as 'Miltovvn", you cai^italize it
and enclose it with ticks as shown above. Use
of "Miltown with a small case "m" implies that
it is a generic or common name; the gein'ric
name for this )iroduct is meprobomatt'.
Since a tiademark provides to the manulac-
tm'cr who selects and uses the mark the exclu-
sive right to that name for his brand of the ]iro-
duct. this may be a bitter pill to swallow lor those
in till' college conmiunity who aii' opposed to ex-
clusivity or selectivity. When em|il()yed, they
may even resign from cor|)orations Ix'cause ol
the i^rinciples involved, or they may decline to
purchase 'Kodak" cameras or 'Blue Ribbon' beer.
Nev ertheless, trademarks are here to stay in this
coimtrv, and the system will he difficult to buck.

P. S. One last word: we have discussed this
matter with one of om- legal colleagues who snl-

Baxter Talks On Atomic Age Policy

Tlmrsilay President James P. Baxter 111 gave the seventh (I a
series of eight lectmcs on .\meriean Diplomacy sponsored hv M,,,
Social Council. The to|)ic of this last discussion was "Amen m
Diplomacy in the Atomic Age".
The first |)art of the analysis was concerned with a I)rief '.i.;.
tory of the .\tomic Era. Baxter pointed to the complexitv of li,.
age as tin' roadblock to the efleelivi' outlawing of tlie bomb :'.(■.

sionahle material and only had produced three A-bombs ii or

In the '5()'s the emphasis has shifted from the bomb il ||
to the vehick' th;it is to bring it lo l;nget. The advent of H\is' m
long range bomheis necessitated the advancement of our raiir

The cm-rent situation in liiissia aceoiding to our best intelli-
gence reports is that the Soviet (vonomv is feeling the stiain of

backing up the theory has not been in good shape but now is
working better. It takes a great deal of mouev and constant leaili-
ni^ss. Baxter went on to comment that it is not enough to just dch r
because there still is the possibility of an atomic war. The Hns-
sians are willing to wait nnlil om- economy collapses and llirn
make their demands.
The other alternative to this situation is the limited w.n.

Baxter concluded on an optimistic note about the rel;iti\c

rents' Weekend.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Frolich
studied at the Vienna Academy of
Music. Returning to his native
land, he wrote a ballet which was
performed extensively there. Be-
fore World War II, he went to
Prance and, among other engage-
ments, was conductor of the Pol-
lies Bergere for three years.
Comes To U. S.
Frolich arrived In the United
States with his family In 1951. He
remained in New York for six years
as director of two subsidiaries of
Capitol Records. After conducting
his own orchestra and arranging
chamber music, Frolich conducted
the orchestra of the Slavenski-
Franklin Ballet Co. at the AMT
in 1953.
He led the orchestra for Agnes
DeMaille and her ballet troupe for
two years as well as conducting op-
era in St, Louis, light opera in Mil-
waukee and Denver and the New
York Philharmonic at Lewisohn
Stadium. Last year Fi-olich accept-
ed a position as Professor of Mu-
sic at the University of Miami in
Ohio. He also conducted the mus-
ical comedy, "Four To Go", the
Williams all-college musical of
1957.
Baseball . . .
Todt led the attack with three
safeties.
Two infield errors by Bowdoin
and a single by Todt loaded the
bases in the fifth, and Rich Kagan
slammed a single to center for
two runs. In the seventh Kagan
tripled and Bill Hedeman brought
him home with a sacrifice fly.
Todt allowed only four Polar
Bear hits but eight walks and three
wild pitches kept him in trouble
through much of the game. The
Ephmen committed three errors
and ran off one double play.

stated, however, that the Commit-

constitution of the system to fa-
cilitate future changes which
might be desirable. The require-
ment is at present that "three-
fourtlis of those present at a mass
meeting of the College" approve
the proposed change subject to a
faculty vote.

Pusey Uses Harvard Radio Show
To Raise Faculty Salary Question
In what Time Magazine called
"an attempt at alumni-lightening,"
Harvard University sponsored an
hour-long radio show entitled "The
Case for the College."
The program was designed to de-
fine just what a college education
should be: "A progression from
cocksure ignorance to — at least —
thoughtful uncertainty."
For All
In spite of the program's pur-
pose of spurring alumni to aid
Harvard's $82,500,000 fund drive.
President Nathan Pusey was
speaking to the nation as a whole
when he raised the ever-present
question of faculty salaries: " . . .

you must care not only about stu-
dents but also about teachers . . .

Since WMS is piped to the

lo students living in the dorms.
Next year the Main Street frater-
nity houses will be able to pick
up the new effect and further ex-
lension will take place as money

The Station President Dave
Stoner commented: "The new
stereophonic broadcasting is the
only opportunity to experience this
type of broadcasting in the West-
ern Massachusetts - Ea.stern New
York area."
The station is presently trans-
mitting one program per week on
Thursday nights from 7:30-8:00
p.m. The number of programs will
be increased as more stereo tapes
are added to the station's "Ed-
ward Talmadge, Jr. Stereophonic
rape Library."
The original idea for this Stere-
ophonic Tape Recorder came from
the former President of the sta-
tion, Ted Talmadge, Williams col-
lege senior who was killed earlier
this year in a plane crash.
By John Good i
In a forlorn letter to her par-
ents, a freshman girl at the Uni-
versity of Miami in Ohic wrote,
"The.se rising costs may prevent
some of the kids from returning
next year."
Although there is not much more
documentation other than this let-
ter that today's college generation
is being "priced out" of education,
a "New York Times" article reveal-
ed that rising costs in the past two
decades have been astonishing.
Costs More Than Doubled
Education costs have more than
doubled since 1940. A student at
Dartmouth in 1934 could get a
year's education, including room
and board, for $860. Today, his
son pays $1,910. A student entering
Williams in 1940 paid $400 for
tuition. If he were to enter next
year, it would oe $1100. Similar
increases in cost have occurred all
over the country.
The rising costs are mainly at-
tributable to a long delayed and
widely advocated increase in fac-
ulty salaries. Increasing numbers
of college students have also neces-
sitated new accommodations to
handle the influx.
Situation at Williams
WiiLams has successfully kept
pace with these two demands. A
$1,500,000 building program start-
ed in 1949 was completed this year.
Faculty salaries were raised for the
second time on two years in Feb-
ruary, placing the average pay for
Williams professors well above the
average for the country.
But what about future needs of
the college? College Treasurer
Charles A. Poehl stated, "There
is still more to be done. The ques-

NoIIner's Appointment At Princeton
Announced By University Trustees
An announcement by the trus-
tees of Princeton University offi-
cially confirmed the appointment
of Walter Nollner as Assistant Pro-
fessor of Music and director of the
Princeton University Glee Club.
Nollner came to Williams in 1950
as instructor of Music. In 1951 he
took over as director of the Wil-
liams College Glee Club. He is
now serving in that capacity and
as Assistant Professor of Music.
At Princeton next year, Nollner
will direct the 70 voice varsity Glee
Club which is 20 men larger than
the Williams group he has con-
ducted these past six years.
Nollner finished up this year's
Glee Club concert schedule with a
concert with Sarah Lawrence in
Bronxville, New York on Monday.
His final plans for the group is
their annual banquet scheduled
for sometime in May.
Born in Oakland, California,
Nollner received his A.B. at the
University of California in Berke-
ley.

Copeland Notes High
Quality Of Applicants
Acceptances for the Class of 1962
are in the mails.
After receiving approximately
2400 preliminary applications and
having 1600 of them completed. Di-
rector of Admissions Frederick
Copeland announced that a large
number of acceptances had been
sent out. It is expected that 60
per cent of those accepted will
come to Williams. As has been the
i^ractice in the past, the accep-
tances were divided evenly between
ijrep and high school students.
Copeland noted that the task
of the Admissions Committee was
extremely difficult this year be-
cause of the high average quality
of the students shown by their
school records and College Board
Examination results. Also adding
to the difficulty was the strong
desire to come to Williams evi-
denced by a great number of ap-
plicants.
Copeland felt that "This fact in-
dicates that schools, and probably
parents, are doing more prelimin-
ary screening than they have done
in the past, because they recog-
nize the increased pressure in ad-
missions in certain selective col-
leges."
Council Suggests
Firearm Lockup;
Barnett Neutral
By a vote of 8-4, the College
Council Monday night approved a
recommendation to the adminis-
tration that all firearms owned
by students be registered and kept
locked up by the college police. Un-
der the proposal, a student would
be allowed to withdraw a gun from
the arsenal for a specified purpose
and length of time "subject to
disciplinary action" for violations.
Rich Moe '59, who introduced
the resolution, stated that Chief
Royal of the college police was
willing to administer the plan if
he is provided with storage space
for the guns.
Dean Vincent M. Barnett, Jr.
stated Wednesday that "the ad-
ministration will consider care-
fully any recommendation the Col-
lege Council makes," but that he
"personally regrets that the occa-
sional misuse of firearms by a very
small minority of the students"
might occasion a request for this
type of action.
Tlie college rule book states that
all firearms owned by students
must be registered with the dean
each year and that they must be
stored "preferably under lock and
key" with the firing mechanism
disengaged. The dean personally
reads this section of the rules to
each student who registers a gun.
Reliable sources contend that
the college will take no definite
action other than the appointment
of a faculty committee to study
the matter until the recent shoot-
ing incident can be viewed in its
proper perspective, probably not
until next fall.
Wagner's Music And Significance
Discussed At Phi Bete Colloquium
A rescheduled colloquium on
Wagner and Die Moistersinger was
presented by Phi Beta Kappa So-
ciety, Tuesday night in Griffin
Hall. The participants were Mr.
Frank E. Kirby, instructor in Mu-
sic, Mr. William A. Little, instruc-
tor in German, Jim Becket '58,
and Bob Leyon '58; Bill Harter '58,
served as moderator.
Becket began the discussion with
a review of Wagner's personal life.
The fact that he lived in a period
of revolution and great political
thinkers was stressed.
Composer's Style Cited
Wagner's style was discussed by
Leyon. He emphasized the inno-
vations Wagner brought to opera.
These new ideas were centered a-
round the playdown of the inde-
pendent aria and the subsequent
emphasis on orchestration.
Little discussed the intellectual
concerns of Wagner as related to
his time and contemporaries. In
general the works of Wagner show
him looking In retrospect to an
age of unity in Germany when
communal activities in the small
towns expressed the pure spirit of
the German race.
Romantic Influence
The windup to the colloquium
was delivered by Kirby who spoke
of Wagner's effect on opera itself
and his general characteristics. He
noted that Wagner's purpose was
a fusion into one separate art of
the arts of painting, music, lit-
erature and drama. Thus his work
has a universal element in it that
was the goal of all romantics.
Celebrated Violinist Joseph Szigeti
Gives 3 Contemporary Concerts
Jose|ih S/igeti, world renowned violin virtuoso, is giving a
series of three concerts on Wednesday, Tluirsday and Sahirday
night at 8:30. The concerts, in Chapiii Hall, arc sponsored by the
Department of Music, and are free to the public.
Szigeti, famous for his daring and venturesome programming,
has been acclaimed for his appearances throughout Euroi^e, in
North and South America and the East. His concert here reflects
his inteiest in modern music. He was a close friend of his country-
man, Bela Bartok, and many of the other modern composers, whose
works he performs.
Szigeti is accompanied by Carlo Bussotti, who has appeared in
Europe and, with Szigeti, in the
United States. The present tour
has covered more than twenty
colleges and universities In the
U. S., and is Szigeti's last, before
retirement.
DDT
A huge compressor-operated
sprayer towed by a truck was
reported spraying the Elm trees
that line fraternity row. Great
stieams of DDT were shot
through the air to heights of
fifty feet. The trees were soaked
and the air had a strange scent
to it for many hours afterwards.
No reports have been issued a-
bout fatalities to the beetles
which attack the trees, although
it is alledged that 15 students
needed artificial respiration af-
ter the sprayer finished its
work.
The three concerts present a
cross of all twentieth century
works, ranging from Debussy and
Ravel to Hindemith, Stravinsky
and Bartok. Saturday night's pro-
gram will include Sonata No. 4,
by Charles Ives, a recently "dis-
covered" American composer. The
program wU be different each
night.
Candidate Burns
Campaigns Hard
Professor James M. Burns has
already started intensive cam-
paigning in his quest for the Con-
gressional seat now held by Re-
publican John W. Heselton. "I
plan to run scared, hard and fur-
iously until November 4," Burns
said.
In addition to meeting with De-
mocratic committees throughout
the district to discuss local prob-
lems, he is continuing with "non-
partisan" talks to veteran organi-
zations, the NAACP, and civic
groups.
Letters to Editors
Also, Mr. Burns is Issuing a ser-
ies of releases to newspapers which
he hopes will appear as letters to
the editor. These releases ■will be
issued weekly over the next two
months and Burns is asking read-
ers to comment on his statements
in other letters to the editor.
The objective of these letters, he
said, is two-fold. First, "to lay out
in coherent fashion before the
rush and roar of the campaign a
set of thoughtful and well-consid-
ered positions on major issues."
Second, "to arouse comment on
the part of voters so that I will be
educated by them as well as at-
tempt to explain clearly where I
stand."
No Primary Opposition
At present, Mr. Burns knows of
no primary opposition for the
democratic nomination, but it is
still possible for some to develop.
The primary will be held Septem-
ber 9.
Republican Representative Hes-
elton has not as yet commented on
the candidacy of Mr. Burns.

UNNECESSARY
We .strongly hope that the college adminis-
tratioii will turn clown the (lollei^^e Coiiiicil's
recommendation that all .stuileiit iirearnis be
kept by the (College Poliee and srjven on re<|iiest
to their owners for a limited time only.
Their a-ssumjitioii seems to bo that all stu-
dents here could )iotentially misuse firearms as
two students did last week.
We bave more faith in sanity of the student
body, and would not like to see tbem bound by
rules which belong in a ))re]) school.
The centralization of Sjjrinj; Street ad soli-
citation planned by Pipen- of tbe CCF will re-
duci' town-j^own frictions and enable the ad dc-
|)artnu'nts of collej^e publications to use their
iiifreiniity freely off Si^rin^ Street.
The iMO|)osal introduced by Manj^el to ceu-
trali/e the house|)arty ta.x, however, was a j^ross
misuse of the "bijr {rovernnient" idea. We are
relieved that the Coimeil turned it down.
llousepaities, we feel, do not come imder per-
sonal welfare. They are sadly over-institiitiouali/.-
ed now, and Manj^el's ])lan would have made
them more so. Whether one wishes to entertain
a jruest at organized honse|5arty functions should
always remain an individual ehoiee.
It is entirely ridiculous to impose a $10 on
e\ery student at die beginniiijr ot each year for
student Union Dances and crowded jazz concerts
wbicli many do not attend. We would come to
the |)oint where one couldn't be a student at
Williams without payinj^ a $10 for the "bifr week-
ends."
Last Monday the CC did not carry tlieir
"socialism" too far. It is good, we feel, when ap-
plied to the ritrht things.
We watch warily, wonderinff whether tliey
will continue to walk this side of the line.
NEW DEAL
The College Council— still haunted, it seems,
by the kind of criticism re])resented by the let-
ter which ap]5ears on this jiage— has taken some
quick and clecisive action lately.
It holds little jiolitical power. Existing in a
justifiably uTidemocratic academic environment
which is smoothly run by ]5rofessional educators
whose business is not houseparty taxes or year-
book problems but the enlightenment of young
minds, the (>C still has a small voice in college
affairs.
This small voice was (|iiite outspoken at last
Monday's meeting, and from tbe action taken
theie we notice a trend.
It has acted— not to fire up public opinion as
last year's Council tried so unsuccessfully to do
—but to consolidate for tbe sake of efficiency
certain camiDus activities, and to buttress with
"state aid " activities whicb have been fast fall-
ing by the wayside.
We have moved into an era of "big govern-
ment," thanks largely to the formation of the
CCF vvliich adds the realities of the purse to CC
actions.
Big government is a good thing when it is
concerned with real ]Dublic welfare. The college
needs a yearbook, and the CCF grant of $925
to back up any losses will make one possible
next year without compromising the business
initiative of the Gul editors.
Letters To The Editor
"HOLY" PRESUMPTION
I'o the RECORD:
Messrs. Edgar and Hassler have perhaps
clean hands" after ha\ing made their judgment
on the six groups of ])eo|Dle with "dirty hands".
1 am not, however, concerned with the question
of their own conscience. It is the ambiguity of
ihtir language that brings me to this partial
analvsis of these gentlemen's article, "THE
STORY STINKS".
Whether the story stinkcd or not, I will not
ask. Everyone has a different uose. And the whole;
purpose of communication is to establish a ])os-
sible region of agreement or disagreement and
not to settle a i3rol)lem on a couclusi\e and eter-
nal ground. What is needed is therefore not an
absolute agreement on the question of whethei'
the story stinked or not, but it will be sufficient
for om' ]Durpose if everyone of us can make his
o|Dinion or jjrejudice intelligible.
To illustrate the ambiguity of these gentle-
men's language, I will use only one example out
of their six verdicts on the guilty ))eo|5le. Messrs.
Edgar and Hassler declare that "those who laugh-
ed—faculty included— are guilty".
F'irst of all, if a person is guilty, he or she is
guilty "of" what he or she has done or has been.
It follows then that those who laughed must be
guilty of their ]3articular act of laughing or their
being capable of doing so. The latter case, how-
ever, is hardly plausible, for, if it be true, they must assdt
that the verdict is logically tantamount to .saying that min
is guilty of being man. However, profound this thesis ni,i\'
he, the meaning of guilt hecomi's synonymous with humaiiii\.
i.e.', ability to laugh in this case. The absindity of this arbitr;ii\
"theological" fantasy, if 1 am right, can hi- seen by any "reasoniihl, "
man.
From the foregoing argmnent it becomes clear that the mejn-
ing of their verdict is more likely to be that thosi- who langli.d
are guilty of their act of laughing in this particular case. 15u(, we
must ask, is all laughter of thi' same kind? Hy no means.
For our |)iupose, we can distinguish three different kinds ol
laughter. The first of the.se belongs t() |5urc imioeence. Hy in,,,,.
fence 1 mean a stag<; of unexamined life in which one's conseidns-
ue.ss remains inarticulate and thus, in Platonic terms, wortliK ,s.
The laughter of innocence is then inexcapable of all guilt.
The second kind is of the comical quality. It is an al)snnlii\
of a given situation that invites men of articulate couscionsin ^s
to laugh. If Messrs. Edgar and Hassler would havi' it that lliis
kind of comic laughter is a guiltv act, I would advi.se them to ili-
elare also all tears of tragedy to be guilty.
The third kind of laughter can be cla.ssified as the demonic
laughter of malice and ]H'r\erted desire.
Which out of these three laughters did Messrs. Edgar ai,il
Hassler mean when they said that those who laughed are guilu?
For my own part, I myself laiiglied. The absurdity and ridiculcuis
nature of the whole .story seemed to give an enough comic (|uiili!\-
to it. Shot-gunning and throwing eherrybonibs! Woidd you blamr
me if I feel funny about it?
As I said at the beginning, it is not my business to refute Hie
contention of Messrs. Edgar and Hassler. Their meaning is li.)
thin to be refuted. 1 am merely jjointing out the fact that the la. k
of precise and articulate language makes their article" a piece nl
meaningless and, to a ceilain extent, ahsiud reasoning.
May 1 also add that these gentlemen's serious and "holy" as-
sumption or )Mesum|5tion made me laugh again?

Varsity Lacrosse Trounces Union:
Boynton Misses National Record
Sophomore Figures
In 15 Of 26 Tallies
Led by attackman George Boyn-
lon, the Williams lacrosse team
overpowered Union last Tuesday
on Cole Field by a 26-3 score.
Boynton came within one goal of
breaking the National Intercolle-
giate scoring record.
Williams opened the scoring at
4 : 18 of the first period when Boyn-
ton slipped an unassisted shot past
the Union goalie for the first tally.
One minute later he repeated the
action to put Williams into a 2-0
lead. Boynton's second goal was
followed closely with scores by
Cotton Pite, Jim Richardson, Nick
Ratcliffe, and Hal McCann. After
Waite put Union into the scoring
column with a late period shot,
Boynton again scored unassisted
to bring the score to 7-1 at the
end of the first quarter.
Ten in the Second
The second period saw Williams
jontinue the deluge with ten more
goals. Boynton began the period
with two more fast goals. After
Boynton came Rog Dankmeyer,
Dick Lisle, Richardson, Boynton
again, Ratcliffe, Boynton, Doodles
Weaver, and Palmer White. Waite
tallied a second time for Union
to make it 17-2.
The Williams attack slacked off
a little in the second half though
NICE TRY! Sophomore Rogrgie Dankemeyer fires one of Williams
26 goals past the nimble Union defender.
they still managed to control the
ball almost completely around the
Union net. Wheels Miller and Har-
ry Bowdoin added scores as well
as repeats by Ratcliffe, McCann,
Weaver, Fite (2), and Boynton
(2). Cassidy completed the scor-
ing for Union with a shot at 7; 32
of the fourth period.
Almost Sets Record
Playing almost the entire game
for the Ephs, Boynton came with-
in one goal of setting a new inter-
collegiate record for scoring in a
regular lacrosse game. The pres-
sure on the small Sophomore at-
tackman mounted rapidly toward
the end of tlie fourth quarter with
the record in sight. With the Un-
ion defense tightly guarding him,
Boynton took a pass behind the
crease, dodged a defenseman, and
whistled a fast shot into the net
for his final goal at 14:54 to re-
gister nine goals and six assists
for the game, one short of break-
ing the old ten goal, five assist
record. No time remained for an-
other attempt.

Educational T. V.
Given Approval
United States Commissioner of
Education Lawrence O. Dertliick
has signified his approval of edu-
cational television.
In a foreword to a report pub-
lished by the Department of
Health Education and Welfare Dr.
Derthick said that educational tel-
evision "as a means of supplement-
ing the regular classroom work of
our schools, possesses a great po-
tential in thus aiding the teacher
in her task of instruction."
Although many educators fear
that television will encroach where
personal contact between student
and teacher is needed, it is be-
coming increasingly obvious that
TV has been eminently successful
in fields far beyond the lecture.
Some 400 separate college courses
are being taught by television.

Ed. Cost . .
tion is, where do you get the rev-
enue?" He went on to say that ed-
ucation costs will continue to rise
in order to maintain and attract
the high calibre faculty that Wil-
liams needs.
Cost for the student's education
comes equally from his tuition and
from the endowment, Foehl reveal-
ed. Education costs will continue
to rise, and the money must come
from both tuition fees and en-
dowment.
Foehl expressed concern over the
retarded increase in the Williams
endowment. "The average increase
in the endowment over the last
few years has been $1,200,000,"
he said, "If we are to keep up, it
should be increasing by more than
that. It is our toughest problem."

Williams Places fifth
In Ohio State Regatta
Last weekend Williams was rep-
resented at the Ohio State Inter-
sectional Sailing Regatta at Ohio
State University in Columbus. The
Ephmen placed fifth out of ten
midwestern schools and were the
sole representatives of the New
England Intercollegiate Sailing As-
sociation.
Sailing in the meet were Toby
Smith and Bob Stegeman who
competed in a total of ten races
over Saturday and Sunday. The
regatta was held at the O'Shaun-
essy Dam outside Columbus with
the winds mostly puffy. The com-
petition was lield in "Tech" din-
ghies.
Williams was prevented from
higher standing by two unlucky
withdrawals early in the regatta,
but managed to take a share of the
top places. The individual compe-
tition was heavy as the Big Ten
schools were represented by na-
tionally ranked skippers.

CC-SC Okays Majority Of
Rushing Agreement Changes

ijor t'liaiif^e.s m the 1957 rushinjj; aj^reemont recommended hv the joint nisiuiiir committee were ap-

nislim^ arbiter, Frank R. Thonis, Jr., of having eiiffiKecl in dirty rusliing.
Approved was an increase in
the responsibilities of the rushing
committee members to allow in-
fractions of the rushing agreement
to be reported directly to any
member or the arbiter rather than
only to the arbiter as in 1957.
Rushing Report Calls
For Stiff er Penalties;
Grey Cites 'Repairs'
Rushing Committee Chairman
Len Grey '59, commented this
week that his group was "not re-
constructing, just repairing, the
present system, while forwarding
certain suggestions for major
change in the future."
Consequently, Grey feels, the
most vital provisions in his fif-
teen-page committee report are
those aimed at buttressing the
present rushing agreement with
increased penalties and stronger
enforcement measures.
A join'. CC-SC session consid-
ered the proposals Monday night
< see above i ; the following is a
summary of the central changes
requested.
First, believing that "a threat
which pinches the pocketbook a
little more will also pinch the
conscience," the Committee pro-
posed an increase of the maxi-
mum fine for fraternity violations
to $500. The report also asks for
a semester of social probation as
an alternative or additional pen-
alty for violation by fraternity
members. Concurrent with this
proposal is a broadening of pen-
alties for violations by the rushee.
"It is hoped," says Grey, "that
a wider range of penalties avail-

ScIiolarshi|5 to study jihysics, his major, for two years at the Uni-
\ersity of Durham, (King's College) in Newcastle-on-Tync, Eng-
land. , ,
The Full)rig]it Scholarshi|js are granted eacli year hy the In-
ternational Educational Exchange
Program to promote a better un-
derstanding of the United States
in other countries, and to increase
mutual understanding between the
peoples of the U. S. and of other
nations. Nine hundred grants
were awarded this year to com-
petitors from the 48 states. Tlie
last Williams' recipient was Dave
Kleinbard '56.
Crampton comes from Green-
wich, Conn., and attended Hotch-
kiss School for two years. At Wil-
liams, he was elected to Phi Bete
at the end of junior year and also
received Sophomore Honors.
For the past two years, he has
served as an undergraduate teach-
ing assistant in the physics de-
partment. Recently he was award-
ed the Carroll A. Wilson fellowship
for two years' study at Worces-
ter College at Oxford.
Extracurricular Interests
Crampton's primary extracur-
ricular interest on campus Is mu-

Chapel Committee
Completes Report
Williams students go to more
than the required number of cha-
pels and yet they resent being
compelled to go at all.
This apparent Paradox is re-
vealed in the delayed report of
the College Council's Committee
on Compulsory Chapel. A ques-
tionnaire distributed to the stu-
dent body showed that 65 per cent
of the students answering the poll
favored voluntary attendance at
Chapel or church over compul-
sory attendance. A check against
attendance figures revealed that
the average Williams student at-
tends 18 chapels a year, four more
than the required number.
The report which will be sub-
mitted to the College Council next
Monday makes no .specific recom-
mendation for a change in the
present system. Rather, it lists a
set of four proposed changes or
amendments to the present sys-
tem, with arguments for and a-
gainst each.
Proposed Changes
One change advocated by the
committee is to make attendance
at chapel or church voluntary.
The committee felt that attitude
towards religion on the Williams
campus was such that a truly
detrimental drop in chapel atten-
dance would not occur with abo-
lition of the compulsory rule. Vol-
untary attendance would also de-
tract from the various means of
circumventing the rule, such as
attendance at the Jewish services
on Friday.
Other recommendations enum-
erate credit for chapels attended
away from Williamstown if the
compulsory aspect were retained.
A third recommendation advocat-
es a series of "secular" lectures
dealing with the religious aspects
of philosophy, history, art, litera-
ture, psychology, etc. The fourth
proposal would grant chapel cre-
dit for any student who took re-
ligion 1-2.
The committee was made up
of Bill Edgar "59, chairman, Mike
Baring-Gould '59, John Good '60,
Al Martin '60, Tom Connoley '58,
and Steve Rose '58.
Married Students
A proposal that married sopho-
mores in rushing be excluded
from the quota system for houses
was defeated largely because of
the feeling that these students
did not want to be separated as
a group from the rest of the col-
lege. Junior or senior transfer
students will be exempted, how-
ever.
Integrity Pledge
A large part of the discussion
centered about the possible ob-
jectivity of members of the rush-
ing committee. Tlie members of
the committee and the arbiter are
the only persons allowed in the
sorting center during rusliing
week. They are all fraternity
members, t'wo of them house pre-
sidents. Proposals to hire secre-
taries to sort the cards and to
raise the number on the rushing
committee to 15 (one per house)
were defeated. The two house pre-
sidents on the committee volun-
teered to withdraw from the sort-
ing process and the meeting rec-
ommended that the committee
formulate an honor pledge cover-
ing the possibility of sorting ex-
perience affecting a committee-
man's actions as a fraternity
member.
Dirty rushing was not defined
more closely than it is in the pre-
vious agreement. A long discussion
of "casual phrases and actions"
vis-a-vis rushees and fraternity
members was finally curtailed by
the scheduling of a Social Coun-
cil meeting to decide whether the
houses would abide by the letter
or the spirit of the dirty rushing
definition contained in the agree-
ment.
Bell Presents Forum;
Blasts Aid Program
"There is no significant foreign
economic aid program in the U-
nited States," said former chief
economist of the World Bank,
Bernard Bell in an economics for-
um Monday night.
Bell stated that nobody in Wash-
ington was willing to take on the
responsibility for the development
of underdeveloped nations. Most
of our dollars, he said, go into
strengthening those nations which
are vital to our national defense,
but no comprehensive plan for
developing countries such as In-
dia,
Bell spoke from the point of
view of one who has no connection
with the United States Govern-
ment. He was with the World
Bank until 1953, and then re-
signed to form his own bank de-
signed to aid backward countries,
his most recent project being the
development of Israel.

lected by them.
The ellort demands elevaLlDii abose person-
al and tratenial biases m oiuei to continuously
streni^then the system lor tiie yiocl ol all its cit-
izens.
The men who sat in joint ses.sion of the Col-
lege and bocial Councils .Monday nif^ht failed to
acnieve this ele\ation. lliey rcjectetl the Rush-
inj5 Committees propt)sals lor sirenf;;tliening the
system of crime ann piinisiimeni in the area of
ttirty rushing.
Dirty nisliing is a crime, ft has been defined
as such by this traterinty system, and that same
fraternity system is obliged to institute every
possible means toward eradication of the crime.
The present and now re-abirineii deterrents
to dirty rusliiug have pro\ ed inade(|uate. The
threat as well as die fact of dirty rushing remains
a stigma on the Williams Iraternity system.
Vet when the oi5iwrtiinily to buttress the
deterrent to dirty rushing was |5reseiited, the
fmtcniilic6- thciunvkcs, through their representa-
ti\ I's in the Social Council, relusccl to act.
the rushing committee snggi'sted two ways
in which the deterrents to dirty rushing could be
strengthened: replaceincnt ot the single .^jOO
line lor dirtv rushing with a graduated system ol
lines 11)5 to $.500, and air increase in the maximum
penalty to a semester's social |)iol)ation.
ine recommended change in fines was con-
sitierecl at length. Both boilies voted the commit-
tees |)r()|5osai down. Yet when an amendment
was ])roposed to establish a ininimuin ]KMialty
of .%'M) and a nia.ximum iicualty of %'M) (which
woiikl have been a severer deterrent to dirty
rushing lliaii the present pi'iialty, and would have
retained the idea of graduated fines) the CC
\()ti'il yes and the SC remained obstinately at-
tached to the status ([uo and to the presc^nt, weak-
er penalty.
When an amendment was iiitroiliieed to e-
liminate all fines, both legislatures turned it down
flat, with platitudinous alfiriiiations of the need
for strong deterrents to dirty rushing.
Why, if they felt such a need, did the So-
cial Council turn down the minimum-ma.ximum
|}lan which would have been a deterrent?
And the strangest thing was that the SC's
"beliefs" again conflicted with its actions when
the increase in social jirobation was proposed.
This |)lan would luue been e\eii a stronger de-
terrent than the maxiimim-minimuin |)lan, as so-
cial pro is a lingering punishment which causes
considerable amioyance to the house, whereas a
fine is often |)aid by |5areiits or alumni.
Yet, although the CC su|)|iorted it, the SC
rejected the social-pro |)lan by a solid 10-4 vote,
which killed the i^laii in the joint session.
Were the fraternities forgetting their res-
ponsibility to the college? Did they just want to
kecji the punishineiit for a crime they can com-
mit mild? Sadly, it looked that way.
Letters To The Editor
ON FRATERNITIES
To the RECORD:
However laiidal)le or vulnerable the actions
of Rose, Ilasslcr and Morse may have been hi
resigning from their res|5i'ctive fraternities, they
and the others like them should be admired, if
not envied bv the fraternity members. Rose, Ilas-
slcr, and Morse acted on their beliefs, and above
all, are willing to defend them in public. In jus-
tifying their resignation in the TOWER, they
charged the fraternities as being unchristian.
In the past, the fraternities on this campus
have been charged with being uneconomical,
anti-intellectual, and racially discriminatory. How
can the majority of the student body face these
chiijges without answering them? It was John
Winnaeker '57, not an tmdergradiiate, who an-
swered the charge made liy Rose and the others.
And even Winnaeker misunderstood the issue in-
volved in that Rose, Ilassler, and Morse left their
fraternities because of the way in which they
were selective and not because they were selec-
tive. When will the fraternity members leave
their feeble and occasional posture of defense
(flat on tlieir hacks) to assert that which is
worth-while in fraternities?
With the cost of education itself going up,
with the need for more time to sijend on studies
becoming greater, with th(^ pressiues for reali-
zation of moral ideals growing stronger on col-
lege campuses, when will thi' fraternity members
stand on their beliefs in face of these develop-
ments which threaten for existence and the de-
sirability ol the fraternity?
Unless fraternity members take the respons-
ibility fur answermg the charges made against
theiii, unless they assert tlieir beliels as Rose
and the oUiers have done, tlie antliurities on this
camiHis will liave no other choice than to be-
lieve that tlie charges are true, and eventaully
act accordinj;ly. The future— the late— of frater-
nities then will be determini'd by intli\iduals
outside the fraternity system, tliereby negating
tne lundaineiital value of fraternal institutions:
learning to act as responsibk' individuals with
till' rignt and the power to jnstily theniscKes in
the eyes ot society. And the neixl lor justification
is now. I'or all the fraternities are liable under
the charge ot being unchristian as well as un-
economical, and anti-intellectual.
If all fraternities on this campus may c.x|)eet
eventual change or dissolution from their present
state (and they may), they should be |)re])ared
to change or dissohe of tlieir own accord, based
on their known beliefs. Perhaps then, will indivi-
duals hke Rosi', Ilassler, and Morse at least re-
s|3ect fraternity uiembers for their beliefs how-
e\er \iilnerable or laudable they may be.
Philip M. Rideout '58
LIT MAGAZINE
To the RECORD:
.\t a time when the financial success or fail-
ure of the "Cul" is the focal point of strident
claims, connter-claims and other fellow-travel-
,'is c 1 any eain|iiis controxersy, no one seems to
:i()iiee the tolcil uhscncc of anything resembling
an organized eampns literary magazine. "Coin-
inent dietl rather nngraeefuliy after its first )iub-
lieatiou last year; since then, the only organ for
serious student writing has been the mimeo-
graphed |iam|ihlet that the Comp Classes jnit
out. It was a near miracle that even this came
out at all.
■'Comment", like the "Cul", found its Wa-
terloo in financial attrition. 1 have no idea of the
extent of the '"Gul" staff's res])onsil)ility for its
dilemma; |H'rhaps it was mismanagement, per-
haps not. At any rate, "Comment's" death was
ine\itable. A ]iublication of its kind can never
he a financial success at Williams College. The
pr()|)()rtioii of undergraduates who will condes-
cend to shell out their money for a \olume of ad-
inittedl\ anuiteiir literature is doomed to remain
small.
Should this drab ri'alization sound the death
knell tor a Williams literary magazine? fn any
institution that calls itself a liberal arts college,
1 .slioukl hope not. yVrt— and, desjiite some ob-
jections, this is art— has never and will never be
a mass media. It almost always has to be subsi-
dized, |iatronized. It can never be measured or
jiistilied by a clollars-and-eents yardstick; ironi-
cally, but inevitably, it depends ujion these dol-
lars and cents to survive.
From the tenet of Mark IIo|)kins and his log
on up, Williams has always |int a heavv stress
iijioii indixidual creativity. We organize semi-
nars, discussion groups and conferences for this
pur|iose. We spend a bnge amount of moiiev on
labs for our budding scientists. We can even af-
lord a vcrij slick alumni magazine. How in the
world can we rationallv allow or condone the
absence of a literary magazine, which is in it-
self a "lab" for promising writers?
The answer is (|uite simple: we cannot. Wil-
liams has always seemed to produce a number
of capable authors. A glance at any time, during
any yeai', at the bookstore windows will confirm
this, [t seems iiliotic to ignore this excellent re-
cord; yet we are doing just that. An actor can
give vent to his creativity and be heard at the
■'\MT. Rut the writer, who also needs an au-
dience, has no means to attain one.
Com]iared to a theatre production or an
e(|uipped laboratory, the cost of a literary mag-
azine is almost infinitesemally small. Neverthe-
less, it has to be paid— and by whom? Since a
good niiniber of the student body would un-
doubtedly be not at all interested in such a pub-
lication (and while this in itself does not speak
at all well for Williams, it is an undeniable fact),
it seems lather unfair to tax the entire undergrad-
uate groii)). This leaves two alternatives; a Col-
lege subsidy, or siip])()rt by some healthier gronji,
such as the "Cow' or the "Record". Of the two,
the former is by far the jireferable; the college
is a far more stable jiatron than the students.
Mr. Ogilv ie of the English Department, in
his prehice to this vear's |iam|ililet entitled "Wil-
liams (Campus Writing", remarked that, "despite
the clisa|)pearance of "Comment" from the scene,
undergiaduales still write, and write interesting-
ly well, and . . . an audience which will want to
r(>ad what they write exists as always."
This is, in reality, a challenge to the admin-
istration as the upholders of the intellectnal in-
tegrity of Williams College.
Can they ignore it?

CONDUCT AT JEWISH SERVICES
To the RECORD;
It has been brought to our attention that Protestant stmlints
attending the Jewi.sh services for "Chajiel guts" have been ||n,
grantly abusing both the jirivilege and the worship service ,. it
si'cms to lis only common eonrtesy that a person respect the laith
ol others, and surprising that Williams men .should need to hr so
reminded.
Disrespect for the spirit of worship in Thom|)son Mem( rial

SWEENEY IN THE TREES
Spring is here— the season of tree-sitting contests. This I ap-
plaud. Tree-sitting is healthful and jolly and as American as
apple pie. Also it keeps you off the streets.
Tree-sitting is not, however, without its hazards. Take, for
example, the dread and cliilling ciise of Miuuicl .Sif;!ifoos and
Ed Sweeney, both sophomores at the Nashville College of Folk
Music and Woodworking, and both iiiiully in love with a t)cau-
tiful alto named Ursula Thing, who won their hearts sinning
that fine old folk song, / Stranyled My True Love irith Her Own
Yellow Braids, and I'll Never Eat Her Sorghum Any More.
Both Manuel and Ed pressed ITrsula to go steady, but she
could not clioo.se between them, and finally it was decided that
the boys would have a tree-sitting contest, anil Ursula would
belong to the victor. So Manuel and I'aI clainlx'red uj) adjoin-
ing aspens, taking with them the following necessaries: food,
clothing, bedding, reading matter, and— most essential of all—
plenty of Marlboro Cigarettes.
We who live on the ground know how much you get to like
with a Marlboro. Think how much more important tliey must
be to the lonely tree-dweller— how much more welcome their
fine, mild tobacco; how much more gratifying their free-drawing
filters; how much more comforting their sturdy, crushproof
flip-top box. Climb a tree and see for yourselves.
^ TT^BB SITTING CONTBSf^
Well supplied with Marlboros, our heroes began their tree-
sitting contest— Manuel with good heart, ImI with evil cunning.
The shocking fact is that crafty Etl, all unbeknownst to Manuel,
was one of three identical triplets. Each night while Manuel
dozed on his bough, one of Ed's brothers— Fred or Jed-would
sneak up the tree and replace him. "How can I lose?" said Ed
with a fiendish giggle to his brother Fred or Jed.
But Ed had a big surprise coming. For Manuel, though
he did not know it himself, was a drnid ! He had been abandoned
as an infant at the hut of a poor and humble woodcutter named
Cornelius Whitney Sigafoos III, who had raised the child as
his own. So when Manuel got into the tree, he found much to
his surprise that he bad never in all his life felt so at home
and happy. He had absolutely no intention of ever leaving.
After seven or eight years Ed and his brothers wearied of the
contest and conceded. Ursula Thing came to Manuel's tree
and cried, "I am yours ! Come down and pin me."
But Manuel declined. Instead he asked Ursula to join him
in the tree. This she could not do, being suiiject to mopery
(a morbid allergy to woodpeckers), so she ended up with Ed
after all.
Only .she made a mistake— a very natural mistake. It was
Jed, not Ed, with whom she ended up.
Ed, heartbroken at being tricked by his own brother, took
up metallurgy to forget.
Crime does not pay.

Poll Shows Seniors

One hundred and sixty one of 180 Williams seniors answeriiii!;
a speeial liKCOfiD poll stated that tliey believed that the frater-
nity .system at Williams is worth |ireservinf^. Sesenteeii answered
"no", and two had no opinion.
The poll stemmed from the widespread eritieism of the fra-
ternity wliieh arose after three Irateniity meiiihers left the system
decrying the evils of selectivity.

able to the judges will serve as
a more effective deterrent to the
violators."
Second, to alleviate the dual
problems of communication and
understanding, the report proposes
two changes to give the Rushing
Committee a more active role in
the system, il) Violations can be
reported to committee members as
well as the rushing arbiter, and
(2) they can also discuss ques-
tionable cases with students.
Believing that current condi-
tions render a compulsory plan
of total opportunity unfeasible and
that existent machinery is suffi-
cient (with one minor change),
the report reserves more vigorous
T. O. plans as suggestions for the
future.
Hitting, Fielding Only Weaknesses
Of Otherwise Strong Faculty Team
"This year's edition of the facul-
ty Softball team has two weaknes-
ses." ruefully admitted MacAlis-
ter Brown, "impotence at the
plate and a defense approximating
a sieve." Player-manager Brown
quickly added, though, that the
team has good potential, and it's
only a matter of time before they
round themselves into shape.
Brown noted the many problems
hindering the team's progress. He
cited committee meetings which
conflict with practice sessions and
a complete lack of conditioning as
the knottiest. Timing is way off,
he complained, after long hours
at the desk.
First Team
The starting lineup at each
game is usually dependent on who
shows up. At full strength,
though, the team would probably
be as follows; first base - Kermit
Gordon (He owns a first base-
man's glove), second base - Vin-
cent Barnett. third base - former
Williams varsity great, Pi-ed
Stocking, and short stop - Gerry
Myers.
On the mound is John Chand-
ler, and behind the plate is a
flashy rookie up from the mid-
west, Robert Kozelka. Sharing
the catching chores is veteran re-
ceiver Henry Flynt. Patroling the
pastures is capable ball hawk Pete
Pelham, assi-sted by Messrs. Rams-
dell, Hirsche, Rensenbrink, Dick-
ensoir, Perez, Coffin, Brown, and
Sachs. (It's a wide outfield.)
Morale Good
The team lost its first intra-
mural game by the rather lopsided
score 18-5 to Zeta Psi. However,
spirit remains high, and the boys
still hope for a winning season.
Only seniors who are members
of houses, not including social
members, were questioned, and of
those eligible 90 per cent com-
pleted the questionnaire.
Social Life Reason
Of those who maintained that
the fraternity system is worth
preserving, the largest number
listed opportunities for social ac-
tivity and formation of "close and
lasting" friendships as their prin-
ciple reasons.
Twenty three men thought that
fraternities should be preserved
because of selectivity, while only
ten held that tradition and rep-
utation made them worthwhile.
One hundred and seventeen of
the 161 fraternity supporters
thought that there were aspects
of the fraternity system which
could be improved upon. Twenty
three held the system to be per-
fect, while sixteen didn't answer
this question.
Improvements
■ The two improvements which
were held to be most needed were
the development of total oppor-
tunity and the boosting of the
academic and intellectual capaci-
ty of the system. Eleven seniors
tl>ought that the abandonment of
total opportunity as a goal would
be an improvement.
Of the 17 who thought that
the system was not worth keeping,
seven listed selectivity and dis-
crimination as a reason and .seven
stated that the system "under-
mines intellectual values and the
purposes of a liberal education'.
Only two of the 17 thought the
fraternity system to be totally bad,
while eight approved of the
small-group living aspect of fra-
ternities.
House System Advocated
Six of the 17 men opposing fra-
ternities advocated a change to a
house system comparable to that
at Harvard, with present facilities
to be utilized.

Wesleyan Succumbs To Thinclads;
Schweighauser Wins Three Times
The varsity track team virtually assured itself of a Little Three championship last Friday as
they ii]3set Wesleyan at Middletown 75 one half - 58 one half, for the first time in ten years. Lead
by senior Charlie Schweighauser with eighteen points in three evei]|ts. Coach Tony Plansky's squad
combined in a great team effort to overcome what loomed as the ^inly roadblock on the way to an
undefeated season.

ed second in the high Jump. Sec-
ond high scorer for the Ephs was
Hatcher with a win in the discus,
a second in the shot, and a sec-
ond in the 220 lows for 11 points.
Competing for the first time this
year Carl Schoeller, holder of the
school record in the javelin, took
his specialty handily. Will Thom-

proving his previous best effort
by twelve feet.
Captain Bill Fox ran well as
usual and took the 440 in 51.9, as
well as second in the 220 ahead

Ephs Against Strong Colgate Today
Williams posted its second and
third wins this week on the Ta-
conic Golf course over Boston
College and R.P.I. The win over
B.C. was somewhat of an upset
since the eagles had beaten Har-
vard earlier in the year.
Hans Halligan led the Ephmen
with impressive wins in both
matches. In the 6-1 win over B.C.,
HalUgan beat a highly rated Tom
Valpone 1 up and came in with a
74 medal score. Rob Foster and
Bob Julius came in with identical
wins of 5 and 4 with Foster tak-
ing a 76 for the course. Captain
John Boyd outplayed Mike Pen-
nell of B.C. to win 1 up. Davis and
Beemer were also victorious.
The only loss of the day was a
close match between Dave Man-
ning of B.C. and Bill Tuach of
the home squad. Tuach lost 2 and
one but was only two strokes off
the 76 shot by Manning.
Ephs Crush R. F. I.
Saturday, Coach Dick Baxter
saw his strong team overpower a
weak R.P.I, team, 6)2-;2. Before
the match began the two teams
decided to leave all tie scores
standing and thus Boyd was pre-
vented from playing his match off
with Jim Owens of RPI. Halligan
sewed up his match on the twelfth
hole and won 8 and 6 as did sev-
enth man Tim Coburn. The lowest
medal score for the day that was
turned in was Julius' 76 but five
of the matches failed to go the full
course.
Three Matches This Week
This week the varsity will play
seven New England teams in three
matches. Today the Ephmeh tra-
vel to Colgate for their toughest
match so far outside of Harvard.
Thursday there is a quadrangular
meet at home against Trinity,
AIC, and Springfield. Saturday of
Houseparties, Williams takes on
Connecticut, Holy Cross, and Mid-
dlebury which should be a good
match.
in experience, he commanded
quite an advantage over his op-
ponent.
At the no. 2 position, Tom Shul-
man came taafck strongly after
dropping the second set, 7-5, to
take the final one at love. His tall
opponent's natural game fell un-
der Shulman's steady match tac-
tics. Turner, Leonard, Kingsbury,
and Davidson all won relatively
easily in two sets.
At first doubles, Shulman and
r'leishman captured a very clo.se
match from Galias and Brukl in
the final set. Fleishman's power-
ful serve and volleying together
with Shulman's strategy paved
the way to victory. In the second
doubles match, Davidson and To-
bin completely crushed the oppo-
sition with the loss of only one
game. At third doubles, the team
of Devereux and Pyle defeated
McConkey and Judlow in two
close sets.
On Monday, rain washed out
the scheduled home match with
North Carolina, who are on a one
week's tour in New England
This week the varsity has four
matches scheduled. Today the
Ephs meet Army at West Point.
On Thursday, Friday, and Sat-
urday, Dartmouth, M. I. T., and
Middlebury, respectively, will be
played on the home courts.

Stickmen Topple Tufts;
Boynton Leads Attack
Overcoming a 2-0 deficit early in the first quarter, the varsity
lacrosse team behind the five j^oal attack of George Boynton de-
feated Tufts by 17-7 at Medford Saturday.
13oyk()s and l^acos of Tufts scored back to back within three
minutes of die opening face-off to put the Jumbos into a quick
lead. Nick liatcliffe of Williams began the scoring for the visitors
when he slipped one by goalie
Bournakel on a pass from Rog
Dankmeyer at 3:28. Ten minutes ;
later Ratcliffe tallied again with
Boynton on the assist to tie the
game at 2-2.
Ephs Take Lead
The second period saw Williams
go into the lead by 7-4. Dankmey-
er began the scoring at 3:20 witli
an unassisted shot. He was fol-
lowed almost immediately by
Boynton's first of the day at 4:06.
The sophomore attackman, who
scored nine times against Union
last week, tallied three more times
in the period unassisted to ac-
count for four of the Ephs' seven
goals.
In the second half Williams
dominated the game with ten
more goals. Pit Johnson broke into
the scoring column for the first
time with three of the four Purple TONrwhose'fiv'c"goau"and "crghi
goals m the third period. After assists against Tufts on Saturday
Boynton and Palmer White tal- r^n h
lied, Ratcliffe returned with three points.
more. Jim Richardson and Chuck
Cutler closed out the game for the
Ephs with the 16th and 17th goals
respectively.
Boynton High Scorer
Leading the attack for Williams
again was Boynton with five goals
and eight assists. Ratcliffe came
right behind with five' goals and
two assists. Boynton had totaled
14 and 14 for the first two games
this season — a record that sur-
passes high-scoring Tony Brock-
elman's ten goals — six assists for
the 1957 season and amounts to
roughly one third of the total Eph
goals so far this year.

Skidmore's "Siiigspiration" last Fn'duy niglit. The group was called back for an encore, breaking a
))reeedent of four years during which no other group was so honored.
Organized and led hv Dave Paresky, the group has been very successful in building up good will
for Williams whercNcr they have sung. After a recent concert in Montpelier, Vermont, one family
was so ini|)ressed with the octet that they sent a letter jiraising them to Williams.
The group's object, said Sandy
Smith, one of the singers. Is to
"establish a singing tradition at
Williams like the one Ya'e's Whif-
fenpoofs have built, for example. "
With two successful season- do-
hind them, the group will :"u- 'ic
its aim by cutting a twelve-in?M
record this summer, representing,
they hope, a good part of their
widely varied repertory, which in-
cludes rock and roll as well as
ballads and barber shop tunes.
Members
The octet is composed of Dune
Brown, Phil Scatturo, Sandy
Smith. Hal McCann, Bob Kauf-
mann. Cotton Fite, Ed Eggers, Hal
Srnith, and Dave Paresky, with
Dick Gallop as business manager
and Bob Stern as arranger.
While the Skidmore appearance
was probably the most successful
of the season, the Overweight
Eight has also given shows In the
town of Bennington, at Montpe-
lier, and at Bennett, Wellesley,
Green Mountain, and Williams.
They have made fewer appearan-
ces here this year than last be-
cause they have been in such

Frosh Golfers Lose;
Exeter Triumphs 4-3
The Williams yearling golfers
dropped a close match to a strong
Exeter team Saturday on a cold,
windblown, and strange Exeter
course. Williams was on the short
end of a 4-3 score.
Coach Dick Baxter sent out sev
en men to meet the Exeter crew.
Of these, Andy MacKechnie, play-
ing number one, Pete Hager, num-
ber two, and Dave Campbell,
number six, won.
MacKechnie scored a very es-
timable eighteen hole total of 82
on the 9 hole, twice-around
course. The final score of his
match was 2 and 1. Hager shot a
sizzling 79 to take a commanding
4 and 3 victory. And finally Dave
Campbell, also playing well, shot
an 84 to take his match 2 up.
Others who played in a losing
cause were Tom Wise, John Cas-
tleman, Paul Mersereau, and
Gump Gormley.
According to onlookers, the
Ephmen seemed to be hampered
severely by the strangeness of the
course, particularly the narrow
freeways. The Ephs suffered from
frequently overshooting the out of
bounds markers. The Exeter squad
was young and in the final analy-
sis their familiarity with the ter-
rain proved to be the margin of
difference.

This particular octet, Sandy
Smith emphasized, is unusual be-
cause it has stuck together past
the freshman year, while most
other such groups have become

Williams with the latter taking an
early lead. Suddenly Courtier
sprained his ankle and Brayton
who had not appeared a threat

Baxter Concludes Lecture Series;
Discusses 'Most Challenging' World
President James Phinney Bax-
ter III drew a picture of Ameri-
ca facing "a most challenging
world," in the last of a series of
lectures before a large audience in
.Jesup Hall, Monday night.
The social council, which no
o'her council had done before,
sDonsored the lectures which be-
gan last November. President Bax-
lir dealt with significant world
P oblems.
Stressing the need not only for
II ilitary power, but for every other
lj"ssible strength there is in the
V. !Mld, Baxter pointed out that we
luust eradicate our weaknesses,
■■^'ich as racial differences, slums,
and economic problems.
Russia Confident
Russia is confident that In fifty
years the whole world will be un-
der communism. Tlie U. S. reces-
sion, Russian improvements ec-
onomically and militarily, and
tlic weakness of free world diplo-
mats are Russian reasons for be-
ing confident. "However, the U. S.
is still enormously superior," Bax-
ter said.
Baxter sees no large scale war
for three years, but a future war
will probably involve nuclear wea-
pons on a large .scale. By a policy
of subversion and ambiguity, Rus-
sia will carry on a limited war.
Foreign Policy
"Once we welch on an alliance

significant problems
damage our foreign relations,"
Baxter pointed out. The foreign
policy must be continued for
building strength in our allies, and
improving relations abroad.
We need a diplomatic solution
and a decision by Russia for
peaceful coexistence. A summit
conference, however, in 1958 would
only serve to advance Russia's
propaganda policy to weaken our
alliances.
Baxter advocated bomb shelters
as a negative deferent to demon-
strate to Russia and the free

Williamstown Has Bad
Year With B&M Trains
The recent announcement by
the Boston and Maine Railroad
cancelling three trains servicing
the Williamstown-North Adams
area tops off a year that has seen
the luxury uf frequent and direct
rail service effectively erased.
Although no letters have been
written to Mr. McGinnis, head of
the B&M. Williams students have
felt the pinch of the surrounding
mountains as tlicy close in on the
campus. The most drastic cut in
service has been the complete cur-
tailment of train service between
Williamstown and the Albany-
Troy area. In fact, no B&M trains
proceed further than Williams-
town. This move, obviously made
for economy, has greatly increased
the problem of making connec-
tions with the main line of the
New York Central Railroad.
The college is not the only in-
stitution in Williamstown to
mourn the passing of the iron
horse. The Williams Inn has also

found it difficult to accommodate
guests who want to get to Albany.
All Williamstown has to offer now
besides a stray bus struggling over
the Mohawk Trail is a fifteen dol-
lar taxi ride to the capitol city
area.
Bus service to Boston has, how-
ever, been increased with two con-
nections leaving from Williams-
town every day.
One long range effect that can
be seen in Mr. McGinnis' crystal
ball may be sophomore driving
permission.
The rites of spring as practiced
by the Williams College cult
should begin, if the stars tell true,
at four o'clock on the afternoon
of Friday, May 2. Then, it is said,
the Williams Tennis team will do
battle with Dartmouth and the
golf team will meet Trinity, AIC,
and Springfield. But this is only
tlie beginning.
"Ballyhoo", a reincarnation of
the carnival spirit as well as the
all-college musical, will begin un-
der the big tent of the AMT at
8:00. Another performance of this
frolic will be given Saturday
night.
That same night, Harry Mar-
shard and his orchestra will play
at the all-college dance in Baxter

social circles in the Boston area

Cast Records Music Of ^Ballyhoo';
Sunday Session Lasts Until 4 A.M.
"Ballyhoo: take one!" Beffinniiii;; at 2:30 |).ni. Sunday the cast
and orchestra of "IJallvhoo", the original imisictd heinn i^rcsented
this weekend and iie.xf al tlie WW. recorded the 15 musical num-
bers of the show for a s])eeial 12 inch recording. At 4;()() a.m. Mon-
day inorniiiu;. they had recorded S5 minutes of music.
Under the direction of Ted Castle "fiO, the music was tape
recorded by Bob Guy of Audio-
sonic Recording Co., Inc., New
York. Kay Reynolds, of Benning-
ton, assisted. Immediately after
the session, Guy drove to New
York, edited the tapes, cut the
master recording and delivered
the master to the pressing com-
pany by 12 noon Monday.
The records are being sold in
the lobby for the audiences and
are available by mail from the
Adams Memorial Theatre. "Tliere
is really no way to gauge the mar-
ket for this sort of thing at Wil-
liams," said Castle, "so we have
ordered a very limited pressing."
He said that the discs are "very
high quality and fidelity best ap-
preciated on high fidelity players."
Tire recording session included
detailed rehearsals of the cast
and orchestra under the direction
of Otto Frolich plus several re-
cordings of each number. The best
sections of various recordings were
selected for the final edited tape.
The recordings were delivered
in New York on Thursday to stu-
dents who packed them in the
record jackets on the way back to
Williamstown so that they could
be sold at the first performance.
Ephs Beat Wesleyan
In Debate Tourney
Williams won the Turner Debate
Championship Trophy in a close
contest with Wesleyan last Sat-
urday.
The debate, conducted in two
rounds, was a split between Wil-
hams and Wesleyan, Williams
winning the first round and Wes-
leyan winning by a narrow mar-
gin in the second round. The top-
ic, the national right to work laws,
was debated on both the affirma-
tive and negative sides by Wil-
liams teams. The affirmative team
was Dick Contant '59, and Larry
Carton '60. Seniors Dave Phillips
and Tom Synnot made up the
negative team. i
Amherst, also .supposed to com-
pete in the contest, wasi unable
to make the engagements.

SAD PARADOX
The proposal for secretarial help iii the sort
iuj^ process ot rusliing lypities an old trend, now
slutting into high gear uii tiie Williams campus
Students are increasnigiy unvvaiing to accept res-
ponsibility eitlier tor tiien- |)iiDiic ideals or their
private actions.
The Rushuijr Committee's function presup-
poses an intimate involvement witn all phases of
tlie rushmg system, 1 liis proposal attacks tire bas-
is of tlie committee's effectiveness.
Why should every fraternity member pay for
outside clerical help when students are capable ot
handling tlie sorting process themselves r* We have
ail automatic familiarity witli the "hows" and
"whys" of tlie system; secretaries would require
prolonged traiumg.
The obvious motivation of this plan is a ba-
sic mistrust of tire committee's integrity. It fhes
full in the face of the trust placed in die commit-
tee by tlie student governing bodies. More im-
portant, it challenges tlie iiushing Committee's
sincere determination to secure and maintain
objectivity, as demonstrated in its persistent a-
wareness of tlie problem and the honor code
with which tlie committee members will bind
themselves next fall.
The system has operated for only one year.
It developed minor flaws, which tlie committee
lias worked conscientiously to eradicate. Have
we given tlie committee a fan hial?
Earher diis week both rushing arbiter and
freshnian Dean Cole asked the committee to
handle permissions for freshmen to enter frater-
nity houses on special occasions. This action re-
presents a tiansf er of responsibility to tlie student
committee.is it not a sad paradox tliat the rush-
ing arbiter should express faith ui students to
handle tlieir own affairs, while students them-
selves reject responsibility witli a plan for sec-
retarial assistance?
THE DISENCHANTED
Enter Houseparty (big weekend).
Accompanied by familiar format, typed
bands, Student Union maelstrom, cocktail par-
ty-dance bedfellows, self-conscious striving to
have fun.
Stage diiections: Get dates, win keg; then
be gregarious and move your date around, dance
to Marshard, hit the Carnival, etc. but for God's
sake, have fun.
It seems that the tri-annual blow-off is los-
ing favor here. Much of the audience at Wil-
hams is becoming more and more receptive to
impromptu off-weekends. Yet we certainly are
trying hard enough to preserve the half-centuiy
old tradition surrounding the 72 hour marathon.
Perhaps too hard. Why not think less in
terms of a $1600 society band, crowded enter-
tainment schedules and resultant confusion and
more along the lines of imaginative informality.
Eyebrows should be raised to the Freshman
Council and the Class of '61 for a fine job in
directing traffic for this Houseparty. Future con-
gestion, nowever,could be thinned out for a more
palateable weekend.
Bennington Police
By Kurt Rosen
A lonely symbol of authority at Bennington
College is their police force.
Bennington, unlike Williams, has no cut sys-
tem, no driving restrictions, no compulsory cha-
pel—but their campus police force is over twice
the size of that at Williams. The familiar night
watchman at the entrance of the campus has
the pleasant task of signing the guls in and out
between 11 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. He knows the
names and faces of every one of the 350 girls.
The other private poHcemaii and three plain
elothesnien roam the spacious campus enforcing
the college regulations. Visitors widiout dates
are not permitted to go on campus after 10 p.m.
Every evening the police usually stop several
of these nocturnal visitors trying to sneak past
the guardliouse after hours. Outside of such in-
cidents and rare cases of inviting inebriated
guests to leave, the pohce work is routine.
George McGuue, the head guard, has been
on die Bennington College police force since
its inception witii tiie founding of the college in
1936. At that time. Officer McGuue claims, only
two policemen were needed as the post-depres-
sion students were quieter and more disciplined.
Students from RPl, Union, Dartinoutli, and Wil-
liams have always frequented Eennington tlie
most often. WiUiams students, McGuire states,
are usually die most numerous— and mischevious.
Despite the presence of one poUceman for
every seventy girls, Bennmgton is anything but
a pohce state. The students attempt to develop
themselves in the progressive tradition while the
guards try to remain in the background. Oc-
casionally the policemen come forward and as-
sert then power over the girls in a friendly water
fight.

Letters To The Editoi
To the RECORD:
The joint CC-SC Rushing Committee has recently comiilcted
a rejiort upon die Rushing System. It is seldo:ii that we witness
such an intelligtuit combination of idealism and realism. There
are, however, a few suggestions I would like to offer— suggest jquj.
in keeping with die aims if not the conchisioiis of the committee
The committee states "most everybody would vote for total
O]iportunity as an end, but die votes for an effective means u| a-
cliieving it would be few if an effective means would equal, is it
almost surely must someday, a e()in|)ulsoiy plan." Total Opjioitun.
ity in an achievable form presupposes two conditions: 1. RcMtiilj.
zation and destigmatization of tlie non-affiliate grou)!; 2. Desl rati-
fication of the fraternites. Compulsory total op]50itunity olfors
neither.
Tlie RECORD has pointed out diat die effect of last year's i,,tal
opportunity was further stratification of the non-affiliate giiup.
The action of Messrs. Hassler, Morse, and Rose uiKloilined the
need for a respectable non-affiliate grouji. These individuals must
not be denied the right of a normal and fulfilling life.
Tlie solution here seems long-range and psychological. We
must remove the stigma by ceasing to speak of and treat fraternity
membership as normal and necessary.
When we turn to stratification we find something more tan-
gible but basically elusive. Each house has a |K'rsoiiality of its own,
and the "top" house for an individual is the house whose i^eisdiial-
ity best meshes with his.
A vicious circle exists. Student opinion has set up false crilciia
for judging houses, and student leadership and privilege has tiiid-
ed to follow and perpetuate this judgment.
I would suggest the following as partial remedies:
1. A realization of the non-advisory functions of the
lA's
must be followed by a more divtTsified distribution of these pusts.
2. Other honorary posts must be better distributed.
3. Potential and very real advantages to some houses, siieli
as access to rushiiig list by certain men (luring Uie rushing peridd,
must be aboli.shed.
teillllir
4. Measures such as raising house (jiiotus and stiffe
nishing period, must be abolished.
5. CC members in tlie future must subordinate house liival-
ties to college loyalty.
If the fraternities are to be preserved under a system of total
opportunity, it is necessary that the student body by psycholoiiical
and practical means strike out at these twin evils of stratification
and stigniatization. If we fail the only possible alternatives are
heartbreak for some or comjiulsion for all.

Lacrosse Team Stays Undefeated
With 22-4 Victory At Middlebury
The varsity lacrosse team continued its high-scoring winning
si leak by trouncing Middlebury Wednesday on the Panther turf by
a score of 22-4. ^
The team's third straight victory was characterized by rough
plav. Tlie two teams collected a total of 51 penalties. Williams
niiisiderably improved on ground ball, short pass and defense-
play, dominated the action, ' '
the action, tak
ill!,' 47 shots to Middlebury's eigh-
teen. In contrast to the two pre-
vious contests, there was healthy
clislribution of scoring for the
Eplimen. Both attack and mid-
field scored eleven goals apiece.
Despite two Middlebury count-
ers early in the first period, the
play rapidly became one-sided.
The second midfield <Rog Dank-
meyer, Pebble McCann, and Chico
Cutler) maintained their role as
hiKh scoring trio with a total of
sixteen points. The first midfield
I Jim Richardson, Wheels Miller
and Palmer White) tallied four.
In the attack position, despite
periodic three-man coverage of
either George Boynton or Nick
Ratcliffe, the two ace sophomores
scored fourteen points collective-
ly. In addition, Pitt Johnson fired
in two goals and assisted for
three more.
Riding a three-game win streak
into the crucial Dartmouth game,
Coach Ostendarp says: "We know
tiiat we have to make the Dart-
mouth game our best effort this
.season if we expect to beat them.
The game Is a test of our true
strength. We are definitely the
underdogs and Dartmouth is a
senior ball club, improved even
over last year's fine team."

Ephmen Triumph
Over Union 6-4;
Nine Get 10 Hits
J. B. Morris survived a shaky
three-run first inning Wednesday
at Schenectady, before he settled
down to give up only one run the
rest of the way as Williams down-
ed Union 6-4.
After Union scored their first-
inning runs on two hits, two walks
and an error, and one in the sec-
ond with two infield hits, Wil-
liams hitters got to Union pitcher
John Pauth for ten hits, all sin-
gles, and their six runs.
The Ephs scored twice in the
second with Bob McAlaine draw-
ing a base on balls, and Bill
Hedeman, Jim Briggs and Norm
Walker singling. They added two
more in the fifth on a walk, an
error, and hits by Captain Rick
Power and Bob Iverson.
In the eighth Walker drew a
free pass, was sacrificed to sec-
ond by pitcher Morris, and came
home on a single by Power. Mc-
Alaine led off the ninth with a
single, stole second, and scored on
Walker's second hit for the final
Purple tally.
Morris went all the way for his
second win, spacing ten hits,
walking four and striking out 14.
The victory was the Ephs third
against three losses.

Varsity Track Drops RPl 79-38;
Aims At Little Three Championship
Winning their third meet in a
row by a handy 79-38 margin over
RPI on Tuesday, the varsity track
team looked in good shape to drop
Amherst today and take the Lit-
tle Three Championship.
The run away victory was mark-
ed by the double victories of per-
ennial winners Chip Ide and Char-
lie Schweighauser. Despite the
muddy track Ide captured his spe-
cialty the 100 yd. dash in 10.1,
and the 220 in 22.8. Schweighaus-
er took the low hurdles and the
high hurdles as well as adding
three more points with a second
in the high jump. The lanky sen-
ior was denied opportunity for ad-
ditional points when the broad
jump was cancelled due to the wet
approach. Despite this Schweig-
hauser has now averaged over
fourteen points per meet this
spring.

Colgate Golfers Beat
Williams At Hamilton
Williams lost their second match
of the season today to an experi-
enced Colgate golf team at Ham-
ilton, N. Y., 5)2 to V,i. Bob Julius
was the sole winner for the Ephs
while Bill Tuach tied.
Coach Dick Baxter was not dis-
appointed with the team's per-
formance, however, since most of
the scores were in the seventies
and it was a nine hole course. Last
year Williams trounced the Red
Raiders 7-0 on the Taconic course.
The past three matches have
pointed up the great advantage
that goes with the home course.

Lack of anything resembling
depth cost the freshman track
team a 66-51 loss, Wednesday, to
the visiting Mt. Hermon squad.
Williams managed to take eight
out of thirteen firsts in the meet,
seven of them by Walt Henrion
and Bob Judd.
Obviously the outstanding men
in the meet, Henrion and Judd
paraded to victory in one event af-
ter another with monotonous reg-
ularity, but woeful support from
the remainder of the team. The
only other Williams winner was
Terry Allen who ran a 2:08.2 half
mile.
Judd won the high jump, the
shot put and the javelin while
Henrion confined his talents to
the track events, winning the 100
yard dash, the 120 high hurdles,
the 220 and the 220 low hurdles.

band played for music-hungry
crowds throughout Europe last

The jazz of the group is dy-

Freddy Clifford '58, and his tuba,
the playing of Bob Ritter '57, cor-
onet, Spence Jones '58, trombone,
and Bob Kingsbury '58, clarinet,

Deerfield Beats Ephs
Deerfield Academy defeated the
freshman tennis team 6 to 3 Tues-
day at Deerfield.
On n day when most tennis
matches would be called due to
inclement weather, the team went
indoors to absorb its second loss
in as many outings. The match
was played on auxiliary courts set
up in the covered hockey rink.
The red asphalt courts proved
too fast a surface for the Ephs,
who once again made a poor
showing in the singles, winning
only two matches. John Leathers,
strong at number three, defeated
Bob Hethering handily, 0-3, 6-1.
Row Bankes, playing number six,
defeated Jon Mendelson, 6-4, 6-
3. Other singles efforts were not
so fortunate as Bruce Brian at
number one, Fred Knsten at num-
ber two, Steve Thayer at number
four, and Kevin Morrissey at
number five fell straight-set vic-
tims.

Capacity Audiences Enjoy 'Ballyhoo';
Kudos Given To Vail, Rains, Music
by Owen Hatteras II
Capacity audiences enjoyed the
performance of "Ballyhoo", 1958
edition of the All-College Musi-
cal, this year entirely under the
auspices of Cap and Bells, Inc. To
this reviewer it was the splendid
music and lyrics of Mike Small
and Howell Price which, for the
most part, gave the .show its life.
Top Kudos must be tossed to
author-director Robert Vail, Jr.,
whose book, although weak in pla-
ces, and, unfortunately, written
beyond the capacity of his actors,
was far superior to last year's ef-
fort, exhibiting a real sense of the
theatre and, above all, good taste.
Oftimes this reviewer was acutely
embarrassed by the .show's "dra-
matic moments."
We cannot say whether the
fault lay in the writing, directing,
or the acting. Dave Kearn's sets
were in keeping with the colorful
carnival atmosphere of the show.
In regards acting, Jennifer Rains
literally stole the show. Although
she had difficulty with her
straight lines, she can belt out a
song as we have never before
heard a song belted on the AMT
stage.
Tim Tully, Stan Lawder, Peter
Schroeder, Dixie Griffin, Barbara
j Kapp, and Skip Chase all delight-
ed the audience with distinctive
characterizations.
Tony Stout and Linda March
adequately filled the leading roles
of Ben and Ginny although we felt
that their performances lacked
the necessary vigor.
All in all "Ballyhoo" is a big,
colorful musical, designed for all-
around fun, with the added ad-
vantage over past .years of utiliz-
ing the talents of a bevy of lovely
Bennington girls. With music and
spirit as its most outstanding in-
gredients, "Ballyhoo" makes a
most enJoyat)le evening in the the-
ater.

wer of fear of a Russian invasion
of the free world, in the unplea-
sant possibility of helpless people
being inflicted with an ugly death
against the desperate compulsion
arisen in American thought to
preserve the balance of power at
all costs.
The answer to this problem Is
simple: freeze development of nu-
clear weapons on both sides.
Both the United States and
Russia have made proposals for
such a program. The crucial point
lies in policing a ban thoroughly
enough to satisfy the United
States without violating Russian
"national sovereignty." No agree-
ment seems forthcoming. The tests
will continue.
73.5 per cent of the 300 Amherst
men tested were definitely a-
gainst "discontinuing atomic test-
ing in the future, regardless of
whether or not there are any in-
ternational agreements on dis-
armament." A representative fac-
ulty group showed a "middle of
the road" disposition.
Boer, who spoke in chapel Sun-
day, earned his B. D. at Union
Theological Seminary of which
he was made assistant dean last
year. He is 31 years old.
The petition for sophomore
driving was rejected on the
grounds of administrative diffi-
culties. The trustees recognized,
however, the problem of trans-
portation to and from Williams-
town which has been aggravated
by the discontinuation of B&M
trains to Boston. A committee has
been formed to find ways to alle-
viate the problem.
The grant from U. S. Steel was
part of a $2 million outlay given
to New England colleges I Amherst
and Wesleyan not Included). It
will be u.sed for faculty salaries.
Other Appointments
Appointed to succeed Jalnes Os-
tendarp as coach of varsity la-
crosse was William D. McHenry.
He will also coach freshman foot-
ball. McHenry played varsity foot-
ball and lacrosse for four years at
Washington and Lee. He was foot-
ball captain in 1953, his senior
year.
Peter DeLisser of the Athletic
Department will fill Ostendarp's
present positions as head coach
of wrestling and assistant coach
of football. Ostendarp will be as-
sistant football coach at Cornell.
Leaves of absence were granted
to James M. Burns, who is run-

K. Edwards, who will continue
graduate work at Princeton. Pro-
fessors were appointed to fill posts
in the departments of biology,
physics, economics, mathematics
and music.

Kim To Explain Why
Orientals Hate West
The International Relations Club
is sponsoring a colloquium tonight
by Warner Kim '59 on the topic
"Why Do The Orientals Hate The
Occidentals."
Kim intends to present evidence
supporting the fact that hatred
exists and to give some reasons
for it. He will open the floor for
questions, protests and comments.
Having lived under both the
Communist and non-Communist
governments in Korea, Kim has
observed that the feeling against
occidentals was the same under
both regimes.
Kim was born and brought up In
North Korea. He attended junior
high school in Pyongyang. During
the middle of the Korean conflict,
he and his family moved to Seoul
where he attended high school and
one year of college.
After passing exams and other
criteria, Kim came to the U. S.
and attended a small mldwestern
college, where he remained for one
semester before transferring to
Williams.

WHY NOT?
All is now c|uiL't oil the Western Massachu-
setts frontier.
With house|)arty hiNors jainined into o\er-
ni<;lit bau;s and "Ballyhoo reeord all)unis under
arms, hundreds of alt'eeted and/or at'fectioiuite
females ha\e returned to their res|5ecti\e educa-
tional aljodes. Each of them, we teel, must be
impressed with the party flavor of Williams.
For most, it was a weekend of con\i\ ial hos-
pitality, lint a small minority, unfortunately, set
the tone, established the fhnor of the party.
For them the weekend was uiK|uestioiiably a
"success."
The party fhuor was sustained by enerjijetie
application of tiie usual social <rraces. Drinkiiig
was undertaken, naturally, for purposes of get-
tiiiff plastered. W'liy not? It was liouseparties.
■Success" was achieved.
Cash was stolen, jjroperty mutilated or thiev-
ed. Why not? It was houseparties.
Filially, a car was flip|X'd and iifuited in the
i'rtshman Quad. It might ha\e exploded, but
NvTiv not:" It was housejiarties.
Sunday broue;ht revi\al from alcoholic stu-
por; headaches; (|ualms about "tlie nii;;ht before.
iC brought this crude note from a disenchanted
feinnic AH she disembarked for Boston at 6:00
A.M. "Thank you for the weekend. Sorry things
didn't work."
Tweiitv volunteer firemen sepielched the gas-
and-rnbber blaze. As steam rose in the Quad,
(|uiet returned to the Berksliire frontier.
We too are impressed with the jiarty flavor
of Williams.
ATTEMPTED HUMOR
Another issue of the "Purple Cow" which
purports to be the college humor magazine
came out liouse|)arty weekend.
Since their is no regular |)ublication lor cre-
ative writing on the Williams campus, the "Pur-
ple Cow" has a|)parently decided to cuter into
this field of writing. 'Jaiiie , an original short
story by Jhn Becket was well written and color-
ful—but not hilarious, not even humorous.
An attempt at humor in a short story "Mur-
der Is Bloody" by John Burghardt was not hu-
morous, creative, or destructi\e (as some "Pur-
ple Cow" cartoons in the past ha\e been). Let
It not be said, however ,that "Murder is Bloody"
was a complete failure— it did fill up over two
pages of sjiace. The "Purple Cow", in keeiiing
with its standards, has never put out an issue
with blank pages.
Ed lleilenstein's cartoon of "our architectural
heritage" was the best cartoon in the issue. His
motley building was a composite of the archi-
tecture on campus. Students with or without an
art appreciation course could get a chuckle from
this cartoon satirizing the unorganized architec-
ture on cam|)us. More of l\eifenstein's clever
drawings would have enhanced the issue.
RECORD Satire
Several other short articles a]j]Dcared in tlie
spring houseparty magazine— not particularly
4()0tl or bad articles. If anyone read them, it was
prooabiy because it was a rainy day or provided
lu e.vceilent excuse to get away from a bhiid
-uuc. rliere was one amusing satire— on the
At,<^.OiiD, no less.
'I he Williams Wrecker" as s|)ooled in this
clever article ran such articles as a logical argu-
ment lor buying more ping pong tables in the
student union. The article, "Ping Pong means
JUSTICE" contended that ping pong was being
discriminated against in favor of ]5ool. A foot-
iiall picture entitled "Shot of Decisive Play of
the Came" showed a mere hodge-podge of feet.
(Jriginal (at least, the BECOUD hopes these arc
original!) satires like the one of the "Williams
Wrecker" add imineasurabh' to an otherwise dull
magazine.
Immature slapstick himior such as tb.e cover
of the "Purple Cow" board in a mud-slinging
fight should be eliminated. While the board was
discreet enough to sling mud, actions of this
type may, nevertheless, give the magazine the
reputation of being dirty. In addition such ac-
tivities are a waste of time, magazine space, and
mud.

Letters To The Editor
RUSHING TABULATIONS
Should rushing be made fair?
Almost everyone sincerely believes the procedural and admiu-
istrative asjjeets of rushing should treat all houses ei|ual]y. Today
a letter has been published— a sincere ellort to support a view as
to who should tabulate freshman and fraternity |)referential rush-
ing lists.
Students who tabulated these lists last year were on their hoii-
or to keep them confidential— so no fraternity would have the
unfair advantage of knowing how individual freshmen rank.;]
them. Members on the committee were placed in a |)ositi()n to n ..
this confidential information to iiel|3 their own houses or even i
friend's. Some members of the coinmittee did use their positi' ■,
inifairly. One campus leader (a member ol (iargoyle who ask< I
that his name be withheld) admitted: "My lioiisi' last year didi, i
have any representatives on the tabulating eominittee. A iricii I
of mine who was on the coininillee told me how sevi'ial of oi i
|)ros])ects ranked us. Naturally, we arranged our lushing |)ians m
accordance with this information iiy pmtiiig our bi'tter nun ( i
those with whom we had a good ehanee. "
As long as any fraternity is di-prived ot (iiis iulormalion win .•
tbeir rivals have it, an unfair advantage will e.vist.
As long as the present tabulating system uses student Jul; ,
fraternities must rely on their rivals' integrity on the tabulatii ,^
committee. This is fine— but, it seems almost inconceivable th.,l
a tabulating committee member coidd go back to his fraleriiHv
and rush sophomores on an eciual basis with others who don i
know the rushees secret |)relerences. These fraternity niemlxis
should not be |3ermitted to rush while they have this advantag' ,
If the houses don't feel stiongly enough about helping the Rush-
ing Committee, tiiey should not be asked to saciitiee one of tlicii
members to the tabulating eominittee.
Outside help, then, must be secured.
Professional secretaries antl even some laculty wives are avail-
able and willing to run the preferential rushing lists througii the
IBM machines at a nominal cost. Does this pr()])osal reallv scon
like tile inanifestation of a "sour grapes" attitude— or is it an al
tempt to aeiiieve "fair play" in rushing?
Sour Grapes Or Fair Play?
To the RECORD:
Tiie allegation that the fraternities are themselves iucapahlr
ot adininisteiing nishing weakens the fiaternily svsteni infiniteK
more than tiie "eieetiic secretaries" could possibly streugtiien it. II
is absolutelv ink'asible that a rusiiing committee which lias or-
ganized anci planned the o|)eration ol the system would not neces-
sarily have close contact with its operation during rushing. To
(|uesti()u the motives of the elected representatives adniinislering
it re(|uires strong sell-exaniination for electing these individuals in
a representative iashion and tiieii wishing to remove tlieir function
when it does not coincide with the itleas of a minorltv.
Tlie inlormation which even a iion-ohjective committee could
derive for the benefit of membeis" houses is infinitesimal vvlicii
compared to what a good job of lushing would do. I suspect the
complaint is something of a '"sour-grapes" search lor a scapegoat

In a game marred by sixteen

his tight match out to the last
put on the eighteenth where he
was edged by liis Holy Cross op-
ponent.
In a .yame in which weather
played an important role, the Wil-
liams varsity lacrosse team edged
out a powerful Dartmouth squad,
8-7.
A crowd which varied between
50 and 200 Williamstown house-
party spectators, depending on the
severity of the cold rain and the
higli winds, saw the Ephmen pull
into the lead in the third period
and retain this margin for the re-
mainder of the contest. The vic-
tory established the Williams team
as one of the leading lacrosse pow-
erhouses in the country, Dart-
mouth being the first real test to
the Ephmen's power.
Tlie Indians pulled into an ear-
ly lead in the first period as Diclc
Frische, with assistance from at-
tacliman Dave Rice, fired one past
Williams goal-tender Jocli Jan-
Icey at 3:35. The visitors reinforc-
ed their lead as captain Rice,
Dartmouth's major threat, added
another tally on a sole break.
The score rose to 3-0 for the
visitors as PrLsche tallied unassis-
ted for his second goal early in the
second period. Ephman midfielder
Rog Dankmeyer dwindled Dart-
mouth's lead to 3-1 a minute la-
ter as he dodged two defensemen
and fired a shot past goaltender
Randy Malin.
The Williams squad caught fire
in the third stanza, pulling into
the lead with five goals. Jim Ri-
chardson shot Williams .second
goal at 1:35 on an assist from
sophomore ace Nick Ratcliffe. One
minute later the game was dead-
locked as Pebble McCann caught
a quick pass from George Boyn-
ton and whistled a shot past Ma-
tin's feet. Boynton continued his
prodigious season's scoring as he
tallied unassisted at 6:53.
Bee DeiVIallie, flipped in Wil-
liams' last two goals of the period
from the crease position, aided
both times on quick passes from
Boynton. Indian attackman Hoyt
Goodrich rounded out the period's
scoring at 13:50.
The game tightened up in the
final frame as DeMallie and Boyn-
ton, both hitting after flips from
Ratcliffe, concluded Williams'
SDoring within nine minutes.

Clash With Occidental

FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1958
PRICE TEN CENTS
Si .ikiiiK under the auspices of
the iilernationiU Relations Club
of w diiesday niBht, Warner Kim
■59, lempted to give his audience
soni comprehension of the Ori-
ent:, hate for the Occidental.
K .11 spoke on the character of
tiic ):iental in the attempt to
shiv liow the standards and char-
ac.' '^tics Qf Western Civilization
.iiii; strong antagonism in the
Ea AlLliousiy these Occidental
(Is..- may be successfully forced
on ne Easterners a deep resent-
I'lii: of this encroachment will
Stili : Xist.
II pointed out that many of
tlir nannerisms of the Westerner
wcr repugnant to the Oriental
win. his essentially quieter and
moi : re.served character. Eastern-
ers Lilso have reason to hate the
Odidental from personal obser-
■va! ')n of their actions.
Kim .s'.iowed how cultural pride
causes many Orientals to be
Ici ry of the West by reading a let-
ter from a friend who urged him
not to accept Occidental ideals
and way of life. Ttie racial an-
ia!:onism is as deep as the clash
between their relisions and phil-
osjiJhies.
The Orientals realize that the
only way out of their dilemma is
to adopt certain Western ideals.
Communism offers the attractive
altanative of having the benefits
of eertain aspects of Western Ci-
vilization and yet being anti-
Western.
65 Grants Given
To Class Of '62
-Scholarship holders in the in-
coming freshman class will total
about sixty-five men, or roughly
2:! iier cent of the class.
In revealing these figures, which
ai'ply to college scholarships only,
Henry N. Flynt. Director of the
On ice of Student Aid, noted that
til y were about the same as for
tli^' class of 1961.
"^ext year's freshman class will
C( ilain eleven National Merit
S Molars, as compared with one in
ti class of '61 and four in the
ci iss of '60. National Merit Schol-
a;> are chosen on the basis of a
ri 1 lion- wide competition sponsored
b- the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation. The Corporation's
funds come from business and in-
d'l.stry.
A General Motors Corporation
Kfholarship has also been award-
ed to a member of the class of '62
as a result of a national competi-
tion.
Tyng Scholars
As one of the most prized schol-
arships at Williams, Tyng grants
have been awarded to seven fresh-
fnen. Tlrese are four year grants
designed towards "freeing ( the re-
cipients) of the necessity of earn-
'iiR part of their expenses."
The Buffalo Alumni As.sociation
Scholarship will be awarded next
year for the first time. Tills brings
to four the number of Alumni
Fund Scholarships. The Joseph
W. Brooks Scholarship for some-
one from the Boys' Club of New
York is another new grant.

Herberg Will Speak
Will Herberg will address a
Parents' weekend congregation
in the Thompson Memorial
Chapel Sunday. The Jewish
theologian and sociologist will
also participate in a discussion
at Chaplain William Coffin's
home.
Herberg has written several
joolcs including one which is
p.-5rt of the reading list for Re-
ligion 2, entitled "Protestant.
C.ithoiic, Jew".
A former believer in Marx-
ism, Herberg was converted
from the socialist faith by
Rheinhold Niebhur. Although
Niebhur is a protestant, Her-
berg remained a Jew.
In the thirties before his con-
version Herberg worked as a
labor organizer. Herberg, ac-
cording to Coffin, has made
quite an impression on his lis-
teners by his dynamic and con-
troversial speaking.
Hathaway Mill Closes;
Unemployment Boosted
One thousand Adams' employees
■of the Berkshire Hathaway textile
firm will lose their jobs within
two or three weeks, the "Spring-
field Union" reported Wednesday.
Announcement of the permanent
closing of the Adams plant fol-
lowed the quarterly meeting of the
Company's Board of Directors in
Providence, R. I.
The announcement said; "In
keeping with our policy of tight-
ening operations and adapting to
changing market conditions, we
have decided to close the Adams
plant. The plant was operated on
a marginal basis during the past
year and despite our efforts its
operations have been unprofitable.
"Some of the machinery will be
used in other plants and the re-
mainder will be offered for sale
together with the land and
buildings."
Burns Reacts
James M. Burns, Williams Col-
lege political science professor
and a congressional candidate in
Massachusetts' first district, was
"appalled by the mill closing".
Wednesday morning he sent
President Dwight Eisenhower the
following telegram: "Berkshire
Hathaway Mill, Adams, Mass., is
closing down, throwing 1000 Am-
ericans out of work. This was the
last cotton textile mill In Berk-
shire County.
Parachute Jump Set
The Williams Sky Diving Club
will stage a meet on Sunday at
1:30 p.m. at South Williams-
town Airport off Route seven
The Eph competitors will be
.juniors Larry Pond, Henry Ta-
tem. George Erlanger, and To-
ny Harwood, who is running
the meet.
The highlight of the after-
noon will be a mile free fall
from 7000 feet. There will be
a delay of 30 seconds before the
rip cord is pulled. The competi-
tors will be dropping at speeds
over 100 miles an hour.
The Sky Diving Club is in no
way connected with the Wil-
liams Flying Club.

addre.ss emergency session of Con-
gress and demand immediate
broadening unemployment com
pensation, immediate selective
temporary tax cuts, expanded
housing, hospiial, school con-
struction. This recession is not ne-
cessary. We must act."
Most Important Problem
Burns has promised a practical
campaign based partly upon this
"most important short-term prob-
lem"— the recession.
The closing is the most recent
in a series of events which have
led to serious depre.ssion evidences
in the area. Since 1956 the Berk-
shire Hathaway Company alone
has dropped 2200 employees.

The Connecticut Valley Econom-

at Williams on Saturday.
The meeting will be held in an
informal style and is the first of

deflation of audiences.
As little as three years ago the
"Adams Memorial Theatre" often
attracted as many as 1,000 people
to a series of three performances.
This year, with the exception of
"Ballyhoo", only 500 spectators
witnessed the AMT's most suc-
cessful production.
Faculty, Student Drop
William Martin, assistant direc-
tor of the theatre, declared that
attendance has fallen among both
faculty and students.
Students who don't attend often
have criticized the AMT for pro-
ductions being too intellectual and
unentertaining. Director of the
theatre, Giles Playfair, refutes
this argument with the attendance
figures of Chekov's "Three Sis-
ters" ("the most heady thing we've
done around here") produced
three years ago. In three nights
"Three Sisters" played to 1,129
theatre goers, just 23 less than

Copeland is optimistic a^»out the

Flying Enthusiasts
Use Club Plane
Bi/ Kurt Rose)!
"What, me fly?" . • • -sucli aic usually the
first words of amazed fresliinen when invited
to join the Williams Collesre Flyin)^ Ckih.
The WFC, which started in the early twen-
ties, is one of the oldest college flying ehibs in
the country. It ha.s heen active for over thirty
years without ha\'inj^ a serious inisha]). The
club's jrood ec]uipnient and modeni maintenance
have helped uphold this oiitstaiidinf^ record.
The Flyinj^ Club plane is a Ce.ssna 140 with
dual coutiols. Wheel controls, rather than stick
controls as in most small aircraft, provides the
student pilot with a j;;ood tiaininf> backf^rouiid
for flyiui^ larger planes. Civil Air .Administration
Certitied Fli<rht In.structor Gus Kanelos of the
North .Adams air])ort notes, "The plane has prov-
ed itself to be without a douht an ideal training
l^lane."
'Night Fli/iuji
Flying Chih president John Greer '59 re-
vealed plans to equi)i the plane over the sum
mer for night and instrument flying by ])urchas
ing new e((uipment for radio navigation. Al-
though the two passenger plane at present is
only flown during the day. Flying Club members
frequently take it to Boston and New York in a
fraction of the driving time— the plane cruises at
over one hundred miles per hour. On occasions
it has even bt^en flown to Chicago and Florida.
The Cessna 140 is maintained at the North
Adams airport where CAA Examiner George
West is responsible for making sure the plants is
kept in proper condition before it leaves the
ground. Unlike the grass landing strips used by
most other college flying clubs, the North Adams
airport strip is pavecl.
hi order to join the Flying Club, a Williams
student must first purchase a fifty dollar share
of stock in the plane. This stock may be sold back
at any time for about forty dollars. Tlien the
student pilot must secure his parents' written
consent and pass a thorough physical examina-
tion. The plane may be used at six dollars an
hour phis instructor's fee of four dollais. With
eight hours of instruction the student is ready
to solo and begin studying cross-country flying.
After forty hours of flight time, he may apply
for his private license.
Although the club participates in air search
es, gives chartered rides, and drops advertising
leaflets on nearby colleges during houseparaes
and football seasons, the primary purpose ot the
club, as a service organization, is to teach VVil-
liams students how to fly. Comments Greer, 1 he

Letters To The Editor
RECORD RACK
To The KECORD:
Recent reports indicate the extreme difficul-
ties ill sellhig publications on this campus. The
ncessity for increasing circulation, however, gives
no excuse for the tabloid-like sensationalism, for
the meaningless, sweeping editorials which ap-
pear so fre(|ueiitly in the REC(3RD. At the risk
of showing slight school spirit, let us recall that
this is Williams College, one of the better insti-
tutions for higlier learning in the United States.
Must our college continue to claim as its news-
paper a sheet coiisistently characterized by poor
organization, by poor journalism? So many people
know Williams only by its newspaper. Are the^
to understand that 'Theft, Fiie," and "Vandalism '
were more prominent on houseparty weekend
than the dances and college musical, as headhne
in the latest RECORD suggests? The story fol-
lowing that headline gives the fallacious impres-
sion that a car was maliciously taken from the
street and burned. How woulcl that impress the
parents of a prospective Williams student?
It would be ((uite refreshing to see a Wil-
iams RECORD consisting of good, objective,
accurate writing of the news tliat is news. You
jLlitcrs, especially, have a responsibility to the
itudcnts of your college to represent Williams
vvitii a newspaper of which they may be proud. A
iicwspajier does not have to be spineless to be
accurate, it is not juvenile if clear or concise,
it is not a pui^pet if it occasionally praises, and
it is not wicked if it confines its crusades to the
editorial ]Wge. At jiresent our jiaper is the sub-
ject of widespread derision, contempt, and scorn
every time we Freshmen pull it out of our mail-
bo.xes. We, as students of Williams, are concern-
ed, we are disgusted when we realize the full
connotations of the RECORD masthead-the
Williams l^ECORD is truly "second class mat-
ter."

FAULTY SYSTEM
To The RECORD
We should like to make two points concern-
ing the pro])Osal to have secretaries run the
rushing lists through the IBM machine between
the first and second sections.
There is not, as the RECORD laments, any
significant trend away from "student responsibili-
ty" on this campus. Would the RECORD and
the others who make this accusation against the
student body apply the term to the Phillips Com
mittee Report or to Gargoyle's proposed curricu-
luin study or to the work of the students on the
Lecture Committee? A bit of thought will reveal
a very substantial trend toward more student
responsibility.

The proposal makes no reflection on tins year's committee
that's not also implicit u|K)n last year's committee in charges that

fair chance can any system have than the caliber of men on la^t

The members of the committee need not actually give mfor.
mation to the houses in order for this system to obstruct fairn.ss in
rushing. In handling the cards, they cannot avoid the inforn,.ition
on them; in choosing which rushees to give their own best rush
and in making statements in chop sessions they cannot avoid liinn
influenced by information which they must of necessity eai v in

THE ENGINEERS HAVE HAIRY EARS
Today in this age of technology when engineering graduates are
wooed and courted by all of America's great industries, how do
you account for the fact that Rimbaud Sigafoos, who finished
at the very top of his class at M.I.T., turned down hundreds of
attractive job offers to accept emplo3Tnent es a machinery
wiper at the Acme Ice Company at a salary of $20 a week with
a twelve-hour day, a seven-day week, and only fifteen minutes
for luuoitT
'^^^eem(^rd^6aK woei^tid0iitUcf"-
I know what you are thinking: "Cherchez lafemmel" You are
thinking that Mr. Acme, head of the Acme Ice Company, has
a beautiful daughter with whom Rimbaud is madly in love and
he took the job only to be near her.
Friends, you are wrong. It is true that Mr. Acme does have
a daughter, a large, torpid lass named Clavdia who spends all
her waking hours scooping marzipan out of a bucket and staring
at a television set which has not worked in some years. Rim-
baud has not the slightest interest in Clavdia; nor, indeed, does
any other man, excepting possibly John Ringling North.
So how come Rimbaud keeps working for the Acme Ice Com-
pany? Can it be that they provide him with free Marlboro
Cigarettes, and all day long he enjoys that filter, that flavor,
that flip-top box?
No, friends, no. Rimbaud is not allowed to smoke on the job,
and when he finishes his long, miserable day, he has to buy his
own Marlboros, even as you and I, in order to enjoy that
estimable filter, that incomparable flavor, that crazy flip-top box.
Well, friends, you might as well give up because you'll never
in a million years guess why Rimbaud works for the Acme Ice
C!ompany. The reason is simply this: Rimbaud is a seal!
He started as a performing seal in vaudeville. One niglit on
the way to the Ed Sullivan show, he took the wrong subway.
All night the poor mammal rode the B.M.T., seeking a helping
hand. Rnally a kindly brakeman named Ernest Thompson
Sigafoos rescued the hapless Rimbaud.
He took Rimbaud home and raised him as his own, and
Rimbaud, to show his appreciation, studied hard and got ex-
cellent marks and finished a distinguished academic career as
valedictorian of M.I.T.
Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, but
through all those years of grammar school and high school and
college, he darn near died of the heat! A seal, you must remem-
ber, is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can imagine
how poor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropical New York
and Boston, especially in those tight Ivy League suits.
But today at the Acme Ice Company, Rimbaud has finally
found a temperature to his liking. He is very happy and sends
greetings to his many friends.

was Dave Maryette who shot a 72.
Most of the Williams scores
were hurt by the "heavy" greens
on the Dartmouth course which
are quite different from the Ta-
conic Course in WiUiamstown.
Thursday the Ephmen begin their

Ephs Down Yale 74;
Late Goals Break Tie
^ Lacrosse Undefeated
Tallying four goals in a tight
fourth period, the undefeated var-
sity lacrosse team broke a 3-3 tie
to overcome Yale by a 7-4 score
last Wednesday on a rain-drench-
ed field at New Haven.
Yale went into an early game
lead in the first quarter when
Christ and Cushman scored back
to back to give the Ehs. a 2-0 ad-
vantage. In the second period Eph
attackman Bee DeMallie evened
the totals with two goals on as-
sists by Hal McCann and Nick
Ratcliffe.
Ephs Pull Ahead
Cushman broke the deadlock for
Yale with a shot at 2:04 of the
third. Four minutes later, however,
sophomore George Boynton put
Williams back into the game when
he took a pass from Ratcliffe and
slipped it past the Eli goalie.
The fourth period saw the Ephs
concentrate their attack in an ef-
fort to pull ahead. The break came
at 4:11 when Palmer White scored
with Ratcliffe again on the assist.
Chuck Cutler followed him as did
Boynton with his second and Bog
Dankmeyer with his first of the
day. All four goals were scored
within a five minute period. Cush-
man of Yale closed out the after-
noon with a final tally, his third,
at 11:54.
Defense Tightens
The Eli attack could not seem
to move very effectively last Wed-
nesday against the Eph defense.
Coach Ostendarp has had trouble
whipping his defense into shape
this year but has seen good results
from them in the last two games.
The first line, composed of Cap-
tain Dave Andrew. Dick Jackson,
BEE DE MALLIE, two first peri-
od goals by the sophomore attack
kept Williams in the game.
Frosh Beaten On
Dartmouth Links
Dartmouth made a clean sweep
of the day Tuesday by beating
both the varsity and freshman
golf teams by the same score, 5-2.
The match was the second
straight loss for the frosh who
dropped a 4-3 decision to Exeter
last week.
Andy MacKechnie continued
his winning ways however and
coupled with Dave Campbell ac-
counted for the two Eph wins.
The next match is with Choate on
Parents' Weekend. Following this
the freshmen have one more
chance to pull their season over
the .500 mark. This opportunity
will come May 16 at Middletown,
Conn.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD. FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1958
Gabriel Stresses
Need For Brains
Tlueading the meager begin-
nings of democratic thought
through the past and contrasting
it with a bright outlook for the
future, Professor Ralph Gabriel
lectured on "American Democratic
Thought Today" before a capacity
crowd in Griffin Hall, Monday
night.
Gabriel, Professor of History at
Yale, pointed out that the condi-
tions of our times force us to think
about fundamentals; ths need for
brains and intelligence, a balance
between governmental control and
individual freedom, and a govern-
ment and society which reinforces
the dignity of man.
In the past Americans paid lit-
tle attention to the intellectual.
Americans had the habit of act-
ing, and not exploring theories.
In 1941 at Pearl Harbor, the old
fog faded, and a new light reveal-
ed that Americans must fight for
survival.
Gabriel pointed out, "We can-
not survive by science alone. We
are in 1957-58 entering a new
epoch. We stand on the thresh-
hold of an age, unprecedented in
significance and excitement. If
we are to be saved, brains and in-
telligence must do it."
Wm. Smith Reads
Poetry On Radio
Joseph Dewey, owner of the
new Williams Bookstore, conclud-
ed his radio series over WMS en-
titled "Reading, Listening for
Pleasure" Wednesday night with
the distinguished poet as his guest.
William Jay Smith, former Pro-
fessor at Williams and nationally
recognized poet, accompanied De-
wey on his half hour program de-
voted to both prose and poetry.
Smith is the author of many books
of verse, the most prominent be-
ing, "Poems 1947-57". He is mar-
ried to the former Barbara Howes,
also a poet, who published "In
The Cold Country" in 1954.
Lacrosse . . .
and Win Healy, stopped Yale cold,
clearing the ball 13 times in 15
attempts— the best record they
have compiled so far this season.
Behind this defense was goalie
Jock Jankey, who made 17 saves
in the 7-4 effort.

This is Mae, the most meticulous housekeeper in
Manhattan. She takes care of the Williams Club
rooms. Did you know the Williams Club has rooms?
It does. Fine rooms, and spacious. And not a speck
of dust to be seen in the lot of them. That's because
of Mae. She's forever vacuuming the deep-pile car-
pets, fluffing the feather pillows, adjusting the un-
obtrusive air-conditioning units. Your next weekend
in NYC would be a good weekend to disport youi--
self in the lavish living of the Williams Club. Special
rate for under-graduates $3.15 — that's several dollars
less than you'd pay for a comparable room at any
good New York hotel. Address: 24 E. 39 Street, just

BANK ROBBERS often try to get rich through no vault of their ovm.
So often, in fact, that bank officials rarely get rattled by ordinary
hold-ups. But sometimes the gangsters go too far. Sometimes (Curses!)
they lift the officials' Luckies! That dastardly act is bound to cause
real Banker Rancor! Why? Simple. Every Lucky (You can bank on

Four Schools To Plan
Experimental College
Will the Little Three soon be-
( ,me the Little Four?
rhis development became a pos-
sibility this week when four West-
1 1 [1 Massachusetts colleges — Am-
1 ,rst, Smith, Mount Holyoke and
I he University of Massachusetts —
! oived a $20,000 grant from the
i Hid for the Advancement of Ed-
1 'ution to develop plans for a new
1 .ijerimental college in their area.
A committee of educators from
he four colleges will plan an ex-
u limental college "aimed at pro-
( icing education of the highest
1, lality at a minimum cost per
suident and with as small a fac-
ility relative to the size of the
.indent body as new methods of
rustruction and new administra-
'1011 procedures can make possi-
i)le."
A Stimulus
In making the grant. Dr. Clar-
pnce Faust, president of the Fund
lor the Advancement of Kduca-
lion. noted that the study
"should provide stimulus to the
existing institutions to re-examine
tlieir present programs and pro-
cedures in the interests of improv-
ed education . . ."
Faust also pointed out that "the
lour institutions undertake no
commitment to put the plan for
a new college into effect but they
liave agreed to give It serious study
and consideration."

When a play is produced at the
Adams Memorial Theatre, less
ihan half the seats are filled for
each performance. Cap and Bells
membership has declined from 200
to 30 in the last ten years. For all
intents and purposes, said one
student, this amounts to "the
waste of a million and a half dol-
lirs worth of theatre."
There are several reasons why
ilie facilities of the AMT are not
fully utilized. Senior Bob Vail,
(iabriel prize winner and past pre-
■Mdent of Cap and Bells, admitted
'iiat the organization of the dra-
iiatic association is inadequate for
'IS task, ,
But Vail sees the lack of parti-
ipation in the theatre as only
■art of a general plague of apathy
'iwards all extracurricular activi-
lies. He pointed to the low sub-
iiiption to "Gul", and the poor
attendance at lectures and con-
certs as examples of Student un-
'villingness to participate in the
f'ollege community activities.
"Organizations such as Cap
and Bells provide the student with
llie opportunity to broaden his
intellectual horizons, expand his
educational experience, and give
'lim the sense of community re-
sponsibility," Vail said. "But most
•students at Williams are not here
for an educational experience,
Ihey are here as means of fulfill-
nig a requirement for a career.
John Hawley Roberts Professor
of English, Nelson S. Bushnell,
supports Vail's opinion. "Students
at Williams just don't have any
intellectual curiosity," he said.
"The AMT is putting on challeng-
ing programs and the students
Just don't want to be challenged."
See Page 4, Col, 4
The Committee, co-ordinated by
Smith Professor Sidney R. Pack-
ard, will submit its report Novem-
ber 15. In outlining the project,
Packard said the new college could
be useful in several ways:
1. As an end in itself, to help
provide for the increasing number
of college applicants. 2. As a lab-
oratory for experiments in me-
thods which might be applied
elsewhere. 3. As a vehicle for co-
operative projects of interest to
the four participating institutions.
The four schools are already co-
operating in various ventures in-
cluding some joint faculty ap-
pointments and student exchan-
ges.

The May issue of "Holiday" in-

much criticism. In the words of
the RECORD reviewer, "His im-
pressions of what we know of Wil-

largely fantasy ..."

rush-week is sclieduled for the end of this week, accortliii<; to Jack
liyland, College Council President.
week
Last week, in a joint CC-SC
meeting, Ray Klein '59, introduc-
ed a motion to substitute trained
clerical assistants for the com-
mitteemen to handle the job of
processing the cards on which
rushees and fraternities have list-
ed their choices. The processing is
done at the Roper Research Cen-
ter.
Klein proposed that secretaries
from a company like Sprague E-
lectric, who are familiar with the
IBM machines, be used.
In order for this motion to be
accepted and used, it had to be
passed by both the CC and the
SC. It failed to gain approval of
the former.
Following this meeting, a peti-
tion was circulated by a group of
sophomores calling for a general
college referendum on the issue.
It accumulated the 110 signa-
tures necessary to force the mat-
ter to a vote.
The CC Constitution provides
that a simple majority of fifty
per cent of the student body must
affirm the plan in order for it
to go into effect.
Tapping Thursday
Senior Honor Society
To Reveal Selections
The sixty-second annual Gargoyle Society tapping ceremony
will take place Thursday at 4 p,m.
Ill the event of rain, the ceremony will he postponed until
Friday or if necessary until Tuesday afternoon.
The junior class headed hy President Leu Grey will as.semhle
on the fence in front of the
Thompson Laboratories in pre-
paration for the .selection of up to
20 new members of the senior
honorary organization.
Previous to the announcement
of Gargoyles, President James P.
Baxter, 3rd will present the Gros-
venor Memorial Cup to the junior
who "most exemplifies the tradi-
tions of Williams." The award has
been given since 1931 when it was
donated by the Interfraternity
Council. Jack Love '58, received
the award last year.
The Purple Key Society will an-
nauncs selection of its new mem-
bers chosen from a number of
sophomore compets. Prank R.
Thorns, Jr. will read the list. Be-
fore the Purple Key became active
as the Williams honorary athletic
group, letters for varsity players
were presented on Gargoyle tap
day. Letters will now be presented
at the Key banquet on Sunday.
In the traditional ceremony to
select their successors, the Gar-
goyle society led by President Dave
Phillips will emerge in academic
gowns from Jesup Hall and form
a circle in the middle of the lab
campus.
Each graduating member leaves
the circle in turn and walks down
the junior line until he finds his
replacement. The honored jimior
is clapped on one knee by the
member who shouts his last name
and escorts him into the circle
accompanied by applause from the
crowd seated on the lawn near
West College.
PRESIDENT PHILLIPS
Faculty To Allow
Typing Of Finals
students will be allowed to type
final examinations this spring, the
Faculty decided in its Thursday
meeting.
There will be at least one class-
room reserved for typists during
each examination period. Students
will pick up the exam at the reg-
ular place, go to the typing room,
and return the completed exam at
the conclusion of the exam per-
iod.
CC Recommendation
Permission to type an exam
must be obtained from the de-
partment involved. Such permis-
sion will not be granted unless
there is more than one student
requesting it for each period, due
to requirements of the honor sys-
tem.
The plan was adopted on the
basis of a College Council special
committee report. The group was
headed by Sandy Hansell '58.
Feature speaker James M.
Burns defended the American type
of education against the Russian
in which the elite of skilled minds
draivs special privileges, and edu-
cation itself is treated as a high-
priority weapon.
Intellectual Freedom
Burns cited the emphasis in our
system on creativity and self-ful-
fillment, of the "provocation, spec-
ulation, and free interplay of dis-
ciplined minds" which produces
the great goal of teaching, "the
magic moment of understanding."
This type of education is super-
ior to indoctrination and learning
by rote because the continual
clash of ideas and idea systems in
a liberal education is of extreme
value in understanding our "com-
plex and bewildering democracy."
Burns concluded that education
as practiced at Williams through-
out the United States is actually
a more effective defensive force,
a necessary opinion of the indivi-
dual man is not to be "swept a-
way in a torrent,"
After concluding remarks by
President Baxter, parents and
progeny moved out to enjoy lunch
served in buffet sytle in the sun-
light of the Baxter Hall lawn.
APOLOGY
The editor of the RECORD
wishes to apologize for the re-
cent spring Houseparties cov-
erage, for which he is person-
ally responsible and which re-
ported several disturbing occur-
rences.
These occurrences were real,
but the editor must admit mis-
evaluation of the relative value
of these and other items con-
nected with the weekend —
which, though plagued by bad
weather, was not typified by the
reported incidents.
We hope that our mistake has
not been detrimental to the best
interests of the College, which
we will always attempt to serve.
CC Recommends
Vote Clarification
As a result of a discussion in
the College Council Monday night,
an informal freshman meeting
will be held Thursday for the pre-
sentation of both sides of the re-
ferendum to be voted upon Fri-
day.
The referendum will decide whe-
ther membei-s of the CC Rushing
Committee or secretarial help will
be used to correlate the initial pre-
ference listings of the fraternities
and the sophomores during rush-
ing next fall.
A Finance Committee recom-
mendation to empower the CCF to
approve all solicitation to parents
for which no product or service is
offered was unanimously approv-
ed.
HOUSEPARTY DEBT - Refer-
red to the CCP a recommendation
of the Houseparty Committee,
Mangel '59, chairman, that the CC
absorb the debt of the freshman
class for spring houseparties (est.
$110) because of the failure of the
fraternities to approve the blan-
ket tax.
DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
- Authorized the Current Affairs
Committee to draw up to $800 for
the expenses of a conference on
nuclear disarmament.
VOTE POSTERS - Favored the
distribution of posters to publicize
the Friday referendum in view of
the fact that 50 per cent of the
College must vote to make the de-
cision valid.

CRUCIAL QUESTION
\t the rurents' Day Fioj^ram last weekend,
Professor Rurns raised an aspect of a (luestion
crucial to America today.
The goal of American education, lie said, is
"the maj^ie moiuent of understandiiifi. ' The goal
of Russian education: an elite of skilled minds,
j^rauted special ]Mi\ile!j;es, and used for reasons
of state.
Ours can produce truly educated men instead
of technicians. But how strouf^ is it?
The cjuestioii has wider implications: Our
economy produces butter, not guns. Hut how
does our growth trend stack up to the U.S.S.U.'s?
Our |)ress i^roduces honest, intelligent news-
pajuMS. But how do photogra]ilis ol Little Rock
look ill Indonesia?
The product of Soviet education can be used
eflectiM'ly by the state, for he is not trained to
((uestioii. He has not developed the kind of train-
ed scepticism which emerges from Williams hon-
ors |)rograms, small classes or close studeiit-tea-
eher contact.
The Russian student accepts blandly the ac-
cusations leveled at U. S. policymakers. Few will
want to look behind the article in Pniodii, for
he is not trained to look behind statements in a
seminar or by a thesis adviser.
And this student may be thoroughly trained in
the dialects and attitudes of peo]ile in an undcr-
(Ie\el()|)ed area where Russia is seeking support.
Our system of education is certainly more re-
warding to the individual. But is it the best way
to survival?
Last Saturday Burns said it was. If we say
no, we begin to deny the right of individual selt-
(le\(lopmeut--so we must say yes. But we still
worrv.
AMT PROBLEMS
Two articles recently printed in the RECORD
ha\'e outlined the current problems facing the
.\dams Memorial Theatre and Cap and Bells. One
of the major iiiiderlying causes of the diificulties
is the fact that the student body and the faculty
regard the theatre as a closed corporation.
Laeli pla\' is cast in order to obtain the best
results from the material at hand. Most students
tlierelore assume that there is no place for them
at the .'VMT. Reduced participation le;i(ls in part
to reduced attendance.
.\ possible solution to the ]iroblem would be
a realization on the part of tlie students that the
Plavlair-brand of theatre is here to stay, and
that it is just as o|5en to them as to anyne else,
if they are willing to work up to the big parts as
has always been j^ast custom.
The student body need not think that a sea-
son is run on six actors, or that the "closed Cor-
poration" will never leave.

The photography on the whole is excellent, especially llic
large photographs at the beginning of each section. Some \i\uAti-

The main feature of this yearbook— and tlii.s should be the
main feature of any good yearbook— is its thorough coverage dI

Capture Sixth Contest
To Remain Unbeaten
by Joseph Wheclock
Sparked by a five goal third
period and three .scores by sopho-
more attackman Bee DeMallie,
the varsity lacro.s.se team defeated
a rough and highly- touted squad
from the University of New Hamp-
shire 13-9 last Saturday before an
estimated 1000 tans at Cole Field.
Williams jumped quickly into
the lead on two goals by Hog
Dankmeyer and DeMallie early in
the first period. Twenty seconds
later midfielder Wally Pratt elud-
ed the Eph defense to tally the
first Wildcat goal. DeMallie, how-
ever, returned with a hard shot on
pass from George Boynton to
make it 3-1.
Ephs Increase Lead
After an even second period in
which both teams scored three
goals, the Eph attack opened up
against the hard pressed New
Hampshire defense. Chuck Cutler
began the barrage at 3:41 with Hal
McCann on the assist. He was fol-
lowed with successive scored by
DeMallie, Dankmeyer, Wheels
Miller, and McCann to increase
the lead to 11-4. Wildcat attack-
man Rollo Lajoie ended the wild
period when he slipped one by
goalie Jock Jankey.
In the fourth period Williams
scored twice more, but had trou
ble stopping a determined New
Hampshire rally. With the Eph
fourth string on the field, the
Wildcats really poured it on to
score three goals in one minute.

Several students who were in-
terviewed said that they were just
too busy to go to the theatre's pro-
ductions. "I work pretty hard on
my studies during the week, and
go to Holyoke on the weekends so
there just isn't time to see an
AMT play," said one undergrad-
uate.
Donald Gilford, Assistant pro-
fessor of English believes that the
AMT attracts small audiences be-
cause the emphasis of the pro-
duction is placed on providing an
educational experience for the ac-
tors, and hence the audience Is
secondary.
"This doesn't mean that the
student body shouldn't gain from
the productions as members of the
audience, but perhaps the under-
graduates resent having an edu-
cational experience crammed
down their throats," he declared.

The Outing Club has planned a

Volleyball, egg throwing, log saw-
'I'K and kit flying offer professors
and students a change from their
rtaily intellectual battles. The eggs,
of course, will be thrown at Inani-
mate targets.
A pie eating contest is planned,
iind a large quantity of picnic'
food win be provided.
The annual affair was revived

ditionally, the students come out

country and its people.
In opening act a partnership
in a civil engineering enterprise is
formed between Larry Doyle (To-
ny Distler) an expatriated Irish-
man, and Broadbent, an English-
man portrayed by E. J. Johnson.
Shaw Humor
This venture serves to introduce
Ireland to Broadbent who, like
most of his countrymen, falls in
love with it and with an Ii-ish
lass by the name of Nora Reilly
played by Maureen Howard.
A third character offsets the
contrast between Broadbent and
Doyle— Father Keegan (Harvey
Simmonds), a supposedly mad
priest, an Irish intellectual who is
still fond of his native land.
The plot concerns itself mainly
with getting Broadbent, who be-
comes the object of Shaw's hu-
mor, entangled in amusing predic-
aments. He woos Nora and finally
gets engaged. In addition, the peo
pie of the township, whose land
he had intended to take, select
him as their candidate for Parlia-

ganization," said Willmott.
The Purple Key Society was re-
organized two years ago and has
become an integral part of the
College. In the words of this year's
President, "The Purple Key Soci-
ety is a service organization. It is
an organization in which there is
always room for a man who wants
to work for his college."
The primary purpose of the So-
ciety is to welcome visitors to the
Williams campus. The organiza-
tion has given visitors to the Ad-
missions office an opportunity to
have a student tour of the campus.
At the same time, the Society has
greeted all the visiting athletic
teams.
This year's organization has
sponsored pep rallies in the fall,
supplied programs for athletic
contests, sponsored the Purple
Key Weekend in February and
published the Purple Key date
book. At this June's Commence-
ment, for the first time, the out-
standing Senior Athlete will be
awarded a trophy by the Society.

Renovation Jobs
Set For Summer
Renovations costing $60,000 will
be undertaken this summer at
Williams.
Foremost among these renova-
tions will be the completion of
the restoration of Jesup Hall be-
gun last year. This year's work will
include complete restoring of the
auditorium. Modern theatre seat-
ing, new lighting, and new floor-
ing in addition to heating and
electrical changes will be intro-
duced.
Jesup to be Painted
"While the whole interior of the
building will be redecorated, seri-
ous consideration is being given to
the selection of a suitable color
with which to paint the exterior,"
stated Mr. Peter Welanetz, Super-
intendent of Buildings and
Grounds.
At an approximate cost of $5,000
[he Chapin Library will be redec-
orated. Besides a complete re-
painting and refurbishing, possi-
ble lighting changes may be made.
Dormitory Restorations
Work this summer will also in-
clude the restoration of entries in
Berkshire and Williams Halls. A
new durable "guard" wall cover-
ing will be used in these buildings.
Other summer projects will be
modernization of the lighting in
the chemistry laboratory and the
repainting of various buildings.
by an 11-9 score last Wednesday
on Cole Field and win the Briggs
cup.
From the very beginning it look-
ed as if the heavily favored Ephs
were going to run into trouble.
Charley Mallonie and Nick La-
ment quickly put the Crimson into
the lead with two goals in the op-
ening minutes of the first quarter.
On the faceoff, however. Sopho-
more attackman George Boynton
scooped up the ball, dodged three
defensemen, and deftly slipped a
shot by goalie Dick Mackinnon for
the first Wilhams score.
Ephs Take Lead
Five minutes later Harvard scor-
ed again, but Palmer White and
Nick Ratcliffe retaliated to tie the
score at 3-3. The second quarter
was all Williams with Ratcliffe,
Wheels Miller, and Hal McCann
on the scores to build a seemingly
comfortable 6-3 advantage.
In the third quarter both teams
scored twice, Boynton and Chuck
Cutler for the Ephs, and Gerry
Pyle and Mallonie for Hai-vard. A-
bout half way through the final
period the Johnnies suddenly
caught fire. With Williams' two
men down, Lemont, Mallonie, and
Pyle scored in less than three
minutes to make it 8-8.
Johnson Scores
The pressure was really on now
as Williams tried to stem Har-
vard's last period drive. At 10:42,
creaseman Pit Johnson took a pass
from Boynton and whipped the
ball between Mackinnon's legs to
break the deadlock. Rog Dank-
meyer and Nick Ratcliffe follow-
ed close behind with two more
for an 11-8 lead. Mallonie tallied
his fourth for the Crimson at
14:20, but there was no time to
close the margin again.

Several students who were in-

loo busy to go to the theatre's pro-
ductions. "I work pretty hard on
my studies during the week, and
go to Holyoke on the weekends so
there .iust isn't time to see an
AMT play," said one undergrad-
uate.
Donald Gifford, Assistant pro-
fessor of English believes that the
AMT attracts small audiences be-
cause the emphasis of the pro-
duction is placed on providing an
educational experience for the ac-
tors, and hence the audience is
secondary.
"This doesn't mean that the
student body shouldn't gain from
the productions us members of the
audience, but perhaps the imder-
graduates resent having an edu-
cational experience crammed
down their throats," he declared.

In opening act a partnership
in a civil engineering enterprise is
formed between Larry Doyle (To-
ny Distler) an expatriated Irish-
man, and Broadbent, an English-
man portrayed by E. J. Johnson.
Shaw Humor
This venture serves to introduce
Ireland to Broadbent who, like
most of his countrymen, falls in
love with it and with an Irish
lass by the name of Nora Rellly
played by Maureen Howard.
A third character offsets the
contrast between Broadbent and
Doyle— Father Keegan (Harvey
Simmonds), a supposedly mad
priest, an Irish intellectual who is
still fond of his native land.
The plot concerns itself mainly
with getting Broadbent, who be-
comes the object of Shaw's hu-
mor, entangled in amusing predic-
aments. He woos Nora and finally
gets engaged. In addition, the peo-
ple of the township, whose land
he had intended to take, .select
him as their candidate for Parlia
ment.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1958
News of the Spring Term in Review
Education
Education was a bJK topic in
the news. Since the sputniks went
off last fall, ediicatois have bern
re-evaUiatint; and replanninf!, am
Williams has been part of this
soul-seai'chiuK.
At home strides were made vhis,
spring to improve next yrar'.'; cuv
riculum. To incoming frcohm™
Williams will offer for the first
time next year the oppo lunity
for advanced placement and ar
accelerated program leading to
sraduation in three years.
Profes.sor Charles Kellsr, char
man of the History Department
who was instrumental in getting
the advanced placement program,
also led the way in the creation
of new courses to be offered next
year. Among the 13 new courses
will be his History na dealing
with the history of American ed-
ucation. The other most signifi-
cant addition was a course in Rus-
sian.
Not only improving its own edu-
cational facilities, Williams was
concerned with improving educa
tional co-operation with secon
dary schools. An eight man fac
ulty committee was created to
work with local educators on the
problem. A member of the com-
mittee, educator Keller made a
number of trips this year to meet-
ings on national educational
problems, including the National
Conference on Higher Education
early in March.
Fraternities
Fraternities have traditionally
reigned as the social focal point
of Williams. The system has un-
dergone radical changes over the
past few years with deferred ni.sh-
ing instituted in 1954 and total
opportunity achieved for the first
time last fall.
Yet the fraternity system has
done anything but remove itself
from attack and questioning. This
spring three students renounced
their affiliation with fraternity
life "because of its basic principle
of selectivity the fraternity system
no longer has grounds for exist-
ence." Campus reaction to their
decision ranged, according to the
RECORD, from "complete sym-
pathy to furious indignation."
With impetus provided by a
prankster's announcement in the
college adviser, a Rathskeller col-
loquium attended by 150, was held
in which the dissenters, assisted
by Chaplain Coffin, defended their
action (see FACULTY).
RECORD Poll
In an effort to clarify the issues
arKi tabulate student opinion on
the fraternity problem, the REC-
ORD conducted a poll of frater-
nity seniors. They were asked the
simple question "In your opinion
is the fraternity system worth
preserving at Williams College?"
Only seventeen of the 180 polled
answered "NO". Yet while a vast
majority affirmed the present
fraternity system, 117 seniors felt
there were aspects of the frater-
nities that could, and should be
improved. 29 of these demanded
total membership; 22 asked for a
boost in academic and intellectual
levels of the houses. Another thir-
teen asked termination of super-
ficial judgments, discrimination
and the blackball system, while
a dozen saw the answer to fra-
ternity problems in revival of the
Garfield Club and twelve more
urged greater local autonomy for
houses.
The poll's results were inconclu-
sive, but they did indicate a will-
ingness of fraternity men to alter
the structure of the system.
Yet when the CC-SC Rushing
Committee report proposed minor
"repairs" of the system aimed at
buttressing fraternities against il-
legal rushing, the fraternities

tatives in the Social Council, re-
fused to act. The threat as well
a.s the fact of dirty rushing re-
mained—as the RECORD put it,
"a stigma on the Williams fra-
ternity sy.stem."
Concurrently, stratification and
polarization of "ivood" and "bad"
houses continued to bi^ a grave
threat to the sy.stem.
A group of students felt that
one way to decrease stratification
would be to replace Rushing Com-
mittee members with .secretaries
in the card-sorting process of
rushing. One spokesman said that
no matter how honest the com-
mittee members might be, "it
would be impos.sible for them to
avoid being influenced" by the
confidential information passing
through their hands.
Both Rushing Committee Chair-
man Len Grey and Rushing Ar-
biter Frank R. Thoms, Jr. reacted
again.st the proposal. They con-
tended, and the RECORD agreed,
that the secretarial plan was an
indictment against student abili-
ty to solve fraternity problems.
The referendum goes before the
student body today.
Government
student Government at Wil-
liams has taken on new responsi-
bilities since the 1958 College
Council took over in February.
Acting on the recommendation
of the previous Council, their most
ambitious project was the creation
of the Committee on Finance to
replace the defunct SAC. Imme-
diately the CCP demonstrated its
intention to bring more order into
extra-curricular money affairs by
requiring each organization to pass
a balanced budget before a hear-
ing of the committee prior to be-
ginning operations next year. In
an effort to improve the public
relations of extra-curricular fi-
nance the CCP also created a
standardized advertising plan for
Spring Street merchants as well
as a plan to control the solicita-
tion of parents by letter.
The two other significant com-
mittee creations of the Council to
fill needed gaps were the House-
party Committee and the Com-
mittee on Current Affairs. In ad-
dition to supervising Spring
Houseparties, the . Houseparty
Committee did research into a re-
vision of the blanket plan which
was defeated by the Council. The
Current Affairs Committee is
planning a conference on disarm-
ament next fall.
From the Gargoyle Society the
Council received two reports, one
recommending an extension of the
Honor System to include plagiar-
ism and the other recommending
a new committee to improve the
Foreign Student situation. The
Honor System Committee of the
CC rejected the plagiarism recom-
mendation while retaining con-
sideration of other aspects of the
report. The Foreign Student Com-
mittee was formed.
Tlie Council received extensive
reports from its Committee inves-
tigating Chapel and the Rushing
Committee. The Chapel report was
passed on to the Trustees en toto
but with a sentiment vote of the
CC that Compulsory Chapel
should be retained. The Rushing
Repoit recommending only minor
changes in the mechanics of the
system was endorsed. A controver-
sy arose, however, of whether or
not to use secretaries in tlie Roper
institute which the CC has put to
a Student Referendum being vot-
ed on today.
The CC also voted in April to
join the National Student Associa-
tion.
Faculty
To the faculty largely goes the
credit for the excellent reputation
of Williams. In the classrooms
higli standards were retained. In
addition, however, three faculty-
members made news. Keller for
his work in curriculum isec EDU-
CATION), Chaplain Coffin for his
controversial role in student af-
fairs and Profes.sor Burns for his
activities on the national political
scene.
Coffin
Two students fired a shotgun
blast into the home of Chaplain
William S. Coffin from a car on
the night of April 12. The shot
broke a front window and sprayed
into the Coffin's living room, caus-
ing little damage, no injury.
On Thursday afternoon the case
was broken by a joint police-stu-
dent-administration effort and
two students signed confessions to
the shooting. Over the weekend
the Discipline Committee voted u-
nanimously to expel them from
college.
Neither would tell what had mo-
tivated the action. Opinion here
conjectured, however, that it had
been a drunken "prank" aimed at
Coffin because of his controversial
stands on college issues (see FRA-
TERNITIES).
The story reached the local
press and radio. Commented the
Berkshire Eagle: "a shotgun may
be a valid tool of argument in
darkest Mississippi, but up here
we're civilized." The RECORD
pointed out that the unpleasant-
ness of the situation grew and in-
volved more and more looople as
long as it remained unsolved, that
the speedy success of the investi-
gation was tremendou.sly import-
ant to the best interests of Wil-
liams,
The whole incident made Cof-
fin— who will be Chaplain at Yale
next year — the most talked-about
man of the spring term.
Burns
Also in the news this spring was
Political Science Professor James
M. Burns who on April 10 an-
nounced his plans to run for the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gress. Burns — author of a best-
.selling biography of Roosevelt and
a Williams graduate — stated "I
don't think the odds are against
me." Although the Democratic
nomination seemed assured. Burns
faced an incumbent who has been
in Congress for 14 years in a dis-
trict which has not elected a De-
mocratic Congres.sman since 1898.
Yet the dissatisfaction caused by
a severe economic slump in the
area and the fact that Burns was
already campaigning — as he put
it — "scared, hard and furiou.sly"
increased his chances. Throughout
the semester he did door-to-door
canvassing, sent letters to news-
papers in the area, and spoke be-
fore local PTA, Leagues of Wo-
men Voters and Lions Clubs.
The recession hit the mvii a-
round Williamstown hard this
spring. Unemployment in Berk-
shire County reached 2,860 -the
liighest it had been in ic years
Rrtail trade and, in spite of the
federally financed North Adams
Hood project, construction were
hit hard. The worst blow, however
was the announcement bv the
Board of Directors of the Berk-
shire Hathaway textile firm Urat
their plant in Adams was cliising
p:^i'manently early in May, 'n'at-
ing 1,000 unemployed. Democratic
r.-ndidate for Congress Burn:, ^see
FACULTY I w-ired EisenliDwer
pleading for an emergency .sv,sion
of Congres.s and claiming that
"this roces.sion is not neciN ary.
We must act."
The college, however, eiin iged
unscathed. Although placrrnent
director Manton Copeland an-
nounced late in February tlnii re-
cruiting organizations — mainly in
the fields of heavy industry and
steel — had cancelled interviews
with 'Williams seniors, by May it
was revealed that the Placement
office had beat the slump with
more interviews than last year and
75 job-offer.s. Spring Street mer-
chants announced themselves un-
scathed becau.se most of their bus-
iness comes from students.

Williams undergiaduates confer upon their fellow students. Elec-
tion to C^argovle signilies the recognition of yom' services to
Williams College in all spheres of its life as well as the belief of
the f95S Gargoyles that you will contribute positixely and creative-
1\- to the welfare of the college.
Today's recognition should indeed be a source of great pride.
Bnt infiniteh' more ]5leasing shoidd be the o])|)ortimity which
membership in Gargoyle oijcns to you to ser\'e your college. As
the history of Gargoyle' shows, the Society was founded "To discuss
college matters, and' take actixe steps for the advancement of Wil-
liams in every branch of college life and work, and to exert itself
against ainthing which it considers detriinental to such advance-
ment." (Gargoyle has never been merely an "honor" society.
In the year just past yoin- predecessors ha\e jiledgcd them-
sehes to carry on in the tradition of service to Williams of the
sixt>'-lour delegations that iireceded it. Its philosophy was that
Gargoyle's unique ability to contribute and influence Williams
life 'made imperative that it be concerned with the most important
problems confronting the college, hi this spirit its committees de-
xoted much time to the Williams curriculum, college public rela-
tions, the academic and extra-emricular prcssmes on all students,
the sophomore academic probk-m. and the futme problems of
increasing emollments. The entire Society studied, discussed, and
reported the findings and recommendations of these committees
to President Baxtei-, the Board of Triistees, and the faculty.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, THUKSDAY, MAY 15, 1958
Gargoyle Shows Long History oi Service
Honor Group Founded
To Work For Williams
The history of the Gargoyle So-
ciety in many ways reflects the
evolution and growth of Williams
College.
Gargoyle was founded in 1895 to
overcome disruptive animosities
among fraternities and between
houses and non-affiliates. A group
of graduating seniors formed the
group in May, and selected the
first working delegation of the
class of 1896. The name "Gar-
goyle" was taken from the re-
productions of two of the ani-
mals on Morgan Hall facing Main
Street.
Basically, the group is a service
organization devoted to furthering
the ideals of Williams. Through
the years its influence has been
felt in all spheres of college life.
Gargoyle deliberation and much of
its work are conducted in secret
to permit freedom of discussion
and facilitate handling controver-
sial matters.
In its early years Gargoyle suc-
ceeded in eliminating all "deals"
from class elections, helped to get
the honor system adopted, created
the Athletic Council, and got bas-
ketball recognized as an official
sport here in 1901. In 1914, when
James P. Baxter 3rd was Gargoyle
President, the first student gov-
ernment body was formed. In
1915 after a movement to abolish
Gargoyle had failed, four men
still refused election to the soci-
ety.
Gargoyle virtually suspended
operations during World War I,
and only the efforts of Gargoyle-
alumni professors kept the group
alive. After the war, the group be-
gan to change, with the most im-
portant alteration coming in
qualification for membership. In
the early twenties Gargoyle de-
cided that the mere holding of
high-ranking campus offices was
not enough; rather, performances
had to indicate ability and decid-
ed contribution to the highest in-
terests of the college.
During the period between the
wars Gargoyle was often concern-
ed with relations between frater-
nity men and non-affiUates. A-
mong the accomplishments of this
period were: the Junior Adviser
system, loosened Chapel regula-
tions, the Honors Program (1926),
Purple Key (1925), inauguration
of student waiters (1933), and the
hiring of a College Placement Di-
rector (Gargoyle Oz Wyckoff '14).
World War II and the transi-
tion to peacetime again disrupted
the group; Gargoyle tapped three
times yearly when Williams went
on a year-around schedule to
handle returning veterans (1946-
49). Since that time the group has
been mainly concerned with prob-
lems relating to the social system
since the war had created a new
attitude concerning fraternities. A
Gargoyle report was the original
seed from which ultimately grew
the Student Union and Deferred
Rushing. Problems which grew out
of this move, such as the new sta-
tus of the Junior Adviser and To-
tal Opportunity, then became the
core of Gargoyle's work. This year,
feeling that the problems relating
to the social system had attained
a degree of stability, the Society
dealt with many of the broader
aspects of a liberal education at
Williams.
The Gargoyle Alumni Society
was founded in 1908 to lend coun-
sel to the undergraduates and to
enrich student-alumni relations.
Many meetirigs between the two
groups are held every year; Gar-
goyle also holds an annual Joint
banquet with Amherst's senior
honor society. Scarab. Two Gar-
goyles have been President of Wil-
liams, 32 have served on the Board
of Ti'ustees, while 38 have been
members of the Faculty or admin-
istrative staff, Including Lawrence
W. Heals '29, James Burns '39
William B. Gates '39, Ralph r'
Renzi '43, C. Pi-ederick Rudolph

In conclusion, I urge you to remember the context in wliich
you will conduct your activities. As Professor Ralph Gabriel re-

Amherst Takes Little Three Tennis;
Hirshman, Leonard Play At Peak
In a vpvv close and hif.tpvlv —^—
THE WILLIAMS RECORD. FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1958
In a very close and bitterly
fouRlit match, Amherst came from
behind to capture the Little Three
Tenuis Championship, 5-4, Wed-
nesday afternoon. Williams led 3-
0 in singles and then 4-3 after the
completion of one doubles match,
only to see the Jeffs take the re-
maniing two doubles matches in
the waning light.
Captain Karl Hirshman, defin-
itely up for the match and play-
ing near the top of his game, ex-
tended Tom Richardson, last
yeai s runner up in the New Eng-
land.?, to 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 before bow-
ins Repeatedly Hirshman forced
Richardson to err as he came to
net with effective near-passinK
angle shots. In the final game,
however, it was his own net er-
ror.i, caused by Richardson's forc-
ing flat drives, which lost the
match.
I'om Shulman lost a very close
battle, 8-6, 8-6, to Dave Hicks.
Tom ends his season with a 7-3
record, a commendable one for the
heady, scrappy Eph player.
At number three singles, Joe
Turner, down 5-2 in the third set,
fought back courageously to tie
the score at 5 all, but dropped the
next two and thus the match.
Leonard Wins
Dave Leonard applied the pres-
sure and broke Bud Hostetter's
serve in the first set, and from
then on the match was a mere
formality, as Dave closed it out,
G-1, in the second set.
Tom Davidson came through a-
gain with a fine win at number
five, and Greg Tobin, in his first
varsity singles match, trounced
Ciilitaiii KAKL IIIKSIIMAN
goes to his left to return a volley
from Amherst's Tom Richardson,
his opponent, 6-2, 6-0.

Getting off to a 2 to 0 lead in
the first inning, the freshman
baseball team defeated Springfield
10-1, Wednesday at Weston Field.
The Prosh scored two runs In
the first inning without getting a
base hit, as two walks, an error,
and a wild pitch advanced the
runners. In the third, a double by
Pete Smith and back to back trip-
les by Pete Haeffner and Toby
Schreiber produced three more
runs.
Art Moss pitched for Williams
and went all the way. He allowed
only four hits. Springfield scored
its only run when Moss, suffering
a touch of wildness, walked four
men in succession. Moss helped
his own cause out with three hits,
including a triple. Toby Schrei-
ber's running catch in right field
was the defensive gem of the
game. The yearling's record is now
4-1.
RATCLIFFE tires on the Harvard goal
Lacrosse . . .
Leading the Purple scoring was
Ratcliffe with three goals and one
assist. He was followed by Boyn-
ton with two and two, bringing
his season total so far to 22 goals
and 28 assists.
Despite the scoring power of the
attack and midfield, the Ephs had
trouble with their stickhandling.
The defense showed the steady
rate of improvement it has been
exhibiting lately by failing to clear
only twice in 17 attempts. Behind
their effort was goalie Jock Jan-
key with 12 saves, several on open
shots.
The victory over Harvard as-
sures Williams of winning the
Briggs cup division of the New
England area. The final Eph game
will be against Amherst Saturday.

Yale Takes
Foster And
By Toby Smith
The visiting Yale golfers had to
turn the tide in six out of seven
matches on the Taconic Golf
Course Wednesday in order to
come up with a 5-2 victory over a
slightly favored Williams team.
After the first nine holes of play
all Williams players except sopho-
more Mike Beemer were ahead of
their opponents from New Haven.
Although the Kphmen had lost to
Yale last year 0-7, this was the
year that could have turned the
tide. Yale finished the year unde-
feated.
Rob Foster, playing outstanding
golf was one of two Williams men
to take a win for the afternoon.
When the match was won 6 and
5 on the thirteenth hole. Poster
was only one over par. The other
victory for the afternoon came
from sophomore Bob Julius who
shot a 79 and preserved his unde-
feated record at Williams.
All the final matches were close.
Tim Coburn played Mike Phillips
of the Bulldogs through the twen-
tieth hole before the match was
decided. Number one man Hans
Halligan lost on the nineteenth
hole to France Dolp who turned
in a score of 76. Halligan, how-
ever, shot a 75.
Saturday the Ephmen travel to
Middletown, Connecticut, to de-
fend their Little Three title.

Springfield Drops
The curvy slants of Springfield
College's Bill Sullivan proved to be
too much for the Williams base-
ball team Tuesday as it dropped a
6-1 decision to the Maroons.
Although Sullivan gave up eight
safeties to the Eph batters, he
spaced them well and allowed only
one free pass, while his team field-
ed perfectly behind him. The lone
Purple score came in the sixth on
singles by Bob Stegeman, Jim
Briggs and Rick Power.
Ned LeRoy started for Williams
and gave up but two hits in his
five innings. But five bases-on-
balls, a wild pitch, a balk and a
Williams error handed Spring-
field two runs in the third and
two more in the fourth.
Bruce McEldowney replaced
sophomore LeRoy and gave up
four hits in his three innings. Two
errors In the eighth gave Spring-
field its final two runs.
Springfield's record was increas-
ed to 10-1, while the Ephs dropped
to 3-5.

President Baxter Gives
Baccalaureate Address
Asking "how many recipients of
today's sheepslcins will develop all
the talents given to them?", Pre-
sident James P. Baxter, 3rd, noted
the increasingly important role
and responsibility of the educated
man in tire threatened world the
graduate enters today. Spealcing
before a capacity audience attend-
ing the traditional Baccalaureate
Services in Thompson Memorial
Chapel, President Baxter praised
the graduating class for its ac-
complishments, and called on it
to continue and increase its good
worlis.
Warning the members of the
cla.ss of 1958 to beware of the
temptation to tliink it can do lit-
tle because of the limit of its
abilities or the magnitude of the
problem. Mr. Baxter cited the par-
able of the third servant, who hid
his talent in a napkin, only to
have it taken away for just those
reasons.
The President commented that
the class had, during its four years
at Williams, compiled a record in
scholarship which "fills parents
and Faculty with pride and con-
fidence", and showed "a sense of

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 1958
An Obligation
"The CUiss of 1958 is outstanding, for schol-
arship, athlclirs, ami sense of communitii"
James I'. Baxter Srd
Tlic Class ot 1958 today is proud to be added
to the select list of elasses whicli, over tlie years,
have been "oiitstaiidiiit;".
This class lias seen more men earniiij^ Pbi
Beta Kappa distinetion than any other, while
imdi'featecl football and laerosse teams and e\
eeileiit records in several otlier sports attest I'l
the class's athletic jirowess. In addition, the Class
of 1958 shows a lon^ history of fine sersice Id
the College, including the eieation of ini|K'tus
and leadership in the diisc whieh aeeomplished
Total Opportiniitv lor fraternity inenil)erslii|) for
tiie first time in history last fall.
This is a fine reeord. Yet the ically sif^iiifi-
cant aspect of it is the tremendous |50tential it
indicates— a iiotential whieh, if realized, promises
e\{'n more ontstaiidinj,; aehiexcmenls to come in
the future.
The standards set by Williams alumni in the
past have indeed been hi^h. The (Mass of 1958
today joiiLS these distiiif^iiished ranks with a keen
awareness of its obligation to li\(' up to them.
We liope we can.
Long-Range View
In the twenty year.s he has been President
of William.s, |aines P. Ba.xter .3rd has done an out-
standini; job in raising the College's educational
standards. As he enters the last phase of his bril-
liant career, however, he faces |ierha|)s the most
challenging task of his entire adniiin'stration.
Competition for first-rate faculty men nexcr
has been keener. Williams must not only con-
tinue to attract capable facidty members but
must also prevent the current staff from sue-
cunibing to ti'nipting offers from wealthier small
colleges, larger universities and rich, ta\-su|5-
ported state institutions.
()\er die last 10 years $12 nu'llion has been
added to plant and endowment; faculty salaries
and fringe benefits have been increased .38 |oer
cent since 1955, and only Saturday President
Baxter annonnced the snccessfid comjiletion of a
$2 million drive dating back to P'ebruary, 1955.
Des|)ite tbese accom|>lishments the problems
continue. The facts are inescapable: Williams
ninst do more. The need is great; a view calls
for at least .$15 million in additi(jnal endowment
o\'er the next 10 years, with most of it being
chaniuded directly int(> faculty salaries.
President Baxter is prepared to devote him-
self |)rimarily to this endeavor over the next few
years. It promises to be a long and difficidt strug-
gle.
A Notable First
Williams today pays well-earned tribute to
two persons who have devoted long years of
service to the betterment of the College.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry N. Flynt, the first couple
eyer to receixe Honorary Degrees at Williams,
have ck^voted consideraole time and effort to
the restoration and rehabilitation of various sec-
tions of the campus. Mr. Flynt 'Ifi, chairman of
the Trustee Building and Grounds Committee,
has been a leader in the recently-comiileted 10-
year construction |5rograni.
The entire Williams commimity is deeply
grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Flynt for their continu
ing work and loyalty to the College.

Frosh Golfers
Finish Winless
The freshman golf team finish-
ed a winless season by losing 2-5
to Amherst and Wesleyan at the
annual Little Three golf meet,
held this year at Middletown on
May 16. Peter Hager and John
Caslleman accounted for the two
Purple wins.
Despite an unimpressive 0-6
.season, the Eph yearlings' record
was not as bad as the win-loss
column indicates. Three of their
six matches were lost by a close
margin; Exeter, Hotchkiss, and
Choate each edged out Coach Dick
Baxter's freshman golfers by a
score of four wins against three
losses.
Out of a starting lineup of sev-
en Coach Baxter indicates that
two of his youngsters have real
promise for the Eph varsity squad
in the next few years: Andy Mac-
Kechnie and Peter Hager traded
off in the number one and two
positions.
Hager lost his only match of
the season to a strong Dartmouth
opponent on May 6; MacKechnie
tallied two lo.sses at the number
one position in the Little Three
match on May 16. Both are steady
golfers, shooting consistently in
the high seventies.

The freshman lacrosse squad
ended a highly succes.sful .season
with a sound 18-6 triumph over
Amherst, giving the team a 6-1
record. The only loss was at the
hands of a powerful Deerfield
team in a tight 8-6 game. The loss
of co-captain Bill Rioneke early
in the game proved to be a big loss
for the Ephs.
After .scoring almost at will in
the first period of the Amherst [
game, Williams made free substi-
tutions and played men at differ-
ent positions. Bruce Brian led the
scoring with 5 for the afternoon.
High-scorer for the year Bill
Whiteford tallied 3 goals and 8
a.ssists for a total of 20 goals and
40 assists to break the previous
record of 52. Tim Weinland and
Eric Widmer scored 3 each to help
the cause.
Choate and Harvard provided
the only real contests besides
Deerfield. A third-quarter surge by
the Ephs clinched the weather-
hindered game against Choate,
and an unexpected surge by Har-
vard found the Crim.son ahead 12-
11 with about one minute left. A
tie was achieved quickly, and
with 26 seconds left the ball a-
gain went past the Harvard goalie
as a combination of Bruce Brian's
shooting and a sound check by a
Crimson defenseman.
Pete Stanton, the starting goalie,
and midfielder Wendell Poppy
progressed most in their playing
in tire coach's opinion.

Golfers Win 5th New England Title;
11-4 Season Brings Little Three Crown
Led by high -scoring sophomore
George Boynton, the varsity la-
crosse team notched its first un-
defeated season, its first Briggs
Cup division championship, its
highest national ranking ever, and
the unofficial New England
championsliip.
Captain Dave Andrew, a de-
fenseman who saw constant ac-
tion all season, and Coach Jim Os-
tendarp, for whom this was his
liust Williams team, saw succe.ss
from the beginning of tlie season
"if luck is with us". It was.
Boynton set all sorts of college
scoring records and, in the open-
ing 26-3 romp over Union, came
within one goal of the National
Collegiate goals and assists rec-
ord.
Overshadowed but not in the
least deterred from unusually fine
play were the other sophomore at-
tackmen, Nick Ratcliffe and Bee
DeMallie, both of whom contri-
buted heavily to the all-important
Yale and Dartmouth victories. Pit
Johnson '59. started the season at
attack while DeMallie was out
with an injured sternum suffered
on the spring trip, and continued
to add much to the scoring col-
umn.
The final game against Amherst
'there is no Wesleyan team yet)
ended in a 16-1 romp, but only af-
ter a tough Amherst defense top-
pled after holding the Ephs to
only one goal in the first period.
As u.sual, captain-elect goalie
Jock Jankey was remarkable with
his numerous saves and crowd-
tlirilling clearings.
Three almost equally capable
midfields sparked tlie sopliomore-
dominaled team throughout the
successful season. Most of the
players, like those at other posi-
tions, are from lacrosse-hungry
Baltimore.
Incoming coach McHenry can
look forward to a very powerful,
experienced squad and a probable
repeat of the season record next
year with only four men graduat-
ing, and several very capable
players coming up from the fresh-
man team.
THE SUMMARY
National Collegiate Golf Tournament
Scheduled For Williams This Summer
l"P golfers from colleges and
inuvcrsities across the nation will
tfi off June 22 on the Taconlc
Gdlf Course in the 26th annual
^f;llional Collegiate Golf Tourna-
nitnt. The competition, being
Pl yod for the first time on the
Williams course, will run until
•Juno 28.
Williams is rated an outside
cliaiice for a title, mainly because
till' play will be over a familiar
cmii-.se. Captain John Boyd '58,
Hanse Halligan '59, Bob Julius
'60. Bill Tuach '59, Rob Foster '58
atul Mike Beemer '60, will repre-
sent the Ephs.
Hie 64 low qualifiers will enter
match play to determine the na-
tional champion; the qualifying
rounds will determine the national
team championship.
The University of Houston, title
holder for the last three years, will
be favored. Despite the loss of last
year's individual titleholder. Rex
Baxter, the Texans present a well-
balanced, low-scoring array of tal-
ent.
Williams College golf coach and
Taconic Club pro Dick Baxter, who
has guided the Ephs for 34 sea-
sons, stated that he expected the
course to be in "excellent" shape,
barring bad weather. Baxter an-
nounced that par for the course
would be lowered one stroke for
the tournament, to 70. Williams
won its fifth New England champ-
ionship and its third In a row this
past season. John Boyd '58, is team
captain.
Coach Dick Baxter's Williams
golf team won its fifth New Eng-
land golf title— its third in a row
—this spring, in a season that
saw the Ephmen compile an 11-4
record and capture the Little
Three title.
Led by captain John Boyd '58,
Hanse Halligan '59, and Bob Ju-
lius '60. the team lost only to Har-
vard, Colgate. Dartmouth and
Yale in its 15 dual matches. Mike
Beemer '60, Rob Foster '58. Sam
Davis '59. Bill Tuach '59. and Tim
Coburn '60, filled the other po,si-
tions on the team.
The team downed Amherst 6-1.
and a 19th-hole birdie by Mike
Beemer made it 4-3 over Wesleyan
to take the Little Three title.
Sophomore Bob Julius, playing
the number two position most of
the year, went undefeated in 14
matches, while junior Halligan
turned in a winning record in the
first spot.
Captain Boyd, injured in an au-
tomobile accident, mis.sed the end
of the regular season. He is ex-
pected to play in the National In-
tercollegiate Championships sche-
duled for late June, however.

Panels, Concert, Tour
Top Alumni Attractions
Setting a highly successful pre-
cedent, three panel discussions
added a new dimension to Com-
mencement Weekend proceedings
Friday and Saturday.
Overflow audiences enjoyed dis-
cussions on "Improving our rela-
tions with Russia", "The status of
our economy", and James Gould
Cozzens' best .seller "By Love Pos
sessed". Various alumni experts in
these three fields, along with
members of the faculty and one
student, participated.
Also enthusiastically received,
as usual, was the Pops Concert
and Musical revue Friday evening
in Jesup Hall. Heinle Greer, '22
and his Berkshireland Jazz Band
highlighted the festivities.
At the Adams Memorial Thea-
ter performances of "The Impor-
tance of Being Earnest" were giv-
en to full houses both Friday and
Saturday evening. Giles Playfair
directed the production.
Rounding out the crowded sche-
dule for the weekend was a tour
of the Clark Art Institute. Pro-
fessors S. Lane Faison, Jr. '29 and
Whitney S. Stoddard '35 showed
slides of objects on exhibition in
the Lawrence Art Museum and the
Clark Art Institute before the
tour.
Coach Clarence Chaffee's var-
sity tennis team ended its average
b-5 season at the New England
IntercoUegiatcs at Brown by fin-
ishing fourth behind Yale, Har-
vard and Amherst in a field of 17
teams.
Senior Tom Shulman led the
Williams participants by reaching
the quarter-finals where he lost
to ace Tom Freiberg of Yale. Cap-
tain Karl Hirshman, playing at
number one, was eliminated in
the second round of the Provi-
dence, R. I., tournament. The Pur-
ple netmen were exceptionally
strong in the doubles where sen-
ior Dave Leonard put in his best
performances of the season.
Amherst Match
The Ephs lost to Amherst 5-4
in the last regularly-scheduled
match of the season. May 24, after
a long afternoon of exceptionally
well-played tennis. Williams fin-
ished second in the Little Three
derby by defeating Wesleyan 7-2
on May 10.
Against Amlrerst Hirshman's
close, hard-fought match against
the Jeffs' Tom Richardson spelled
the difference. Hirshman took the
first set, 4-6, but Richardson re-
turned to take the second set, 6-1
In the twelfth game of the third
and deciding set, Richardson skill-
fully put away two of Hirshman's
drop shots to win the set (7-5)
and the match.
Shulman, Turner
Not up to his usual game, Wil-
liams' Shulman lost 8-6, 8-6 to
Amherst's Dave Hicks. Joe Tur-
ner at number three dropped a
close three-set match to Don
Hicks of Amherst 7-5, 4-6, 7-5.
fifth and sixth singles
were easily won by Williams' Leo-
nard, Captain-elect Tom Davison
and Greg Tobin.
Hirshman and Bob Kingsbury
lost the first doubles to a superb
Lord Jeff squad of the Hicks bro-
thers. A win by the Eph team of
Ernie Flei-shman and Leonard tied
the team score at 4-4. In the third
doubles — which was the last match
of the afternoon and thus, tlje de-
ciding competition — Shulman and
Tobin easily won the first set
from Amherst's Bud Hostetter and
Richardson; but the Amherst duo,
capitalizing on several errors by
the Purple, came back to win 6-2,
6-3, clinching the match victory
for the Lord Jeffs.
Future Prospects
Coach Chaffee's prospects for
next year are promising, With the
addition of Clyde Bucks and Jeff
Shulman, and with freshman star
Bruce Brian moving up to the var-

William McHemy
New Grid Coach
William D. McHenry, named re-
cently to succeed James Osten-
darp on the athletic coaching
staff, has had a varied career in
sports.
A 1954 graduate of Washington
and Lee, McHenry moved to Penn-
sylvania Military College for three
years as a coach. At W & L, Mc-
Henry was captain of the foot-
ball team, and chosen for the
Southern All-Conference second
team. He played in the Blue-Grey
game and in the College All-Stars
game against the Detroit Lions.
He was also a notable lacrosse star
at strongly lacrosse conscious W
& L. At Williams he will coach
freshman football and varsity la-
crosse.
Pete DeLisser '51, frosh grid
coach this past season, now ad-
vances to the varsity staff and be-
comes coach of varsity and fresh-
man wrestling. Ostendarp is mov-
ing to Cornell this year.
KICK POWER
"most valuable player"
Frosh Baseball Squad
Wins Five Of Seven
Led by the pitching of Jim
Frick and Art Moss, and the hit
ting of the keystone combination
of Bob Adams and Pete Haeffner,
the Williams freshman baseball
team compiled a 1958 record of
5 wins and 2 defeats.
The two losses came at the
hands of Little Three opponents
Amherst and Wesleyan. Coach
Len Walters' frosh scored impres-
sive wins over R. P. I. in the open-
ing game, and Springfield with
scores of 22-2 and 10-1 respec-
tively. Art Moss was the winning
pitcher in each case, striking out
a total of 29 opponents. He com-
pleted the season with a 2-0 rec-
ord.
The team was spearheaded by
the defensive play of third base-
man Tom Degray and leftfielder
Steve Lazarus. The bruiit of the
offensive attack was carried by
Haeffner and Adams. Haeffner
completed the season with a .344
batting average, including a home
run, a triple and three doubles.
Adams hit at a .300 mark for the
season.
THE SUMMARY
MacAlaine's second-inning home
run, but it and the seven otliw
runs were not enough to counii-
act the results of close, unlu( I'.y
plays.
Although the season has not
been entirely successful in he
won-lost column, a few ) 'h
points can be cited. Captain 1; it
Power's defensive work at sh.il-
stop has been excellent. Po.ir
made a spectacular play for le
final out of the ball game to ij;c.
.serve pitcher Bill Todt's 3-2 \:c-
tory over Bowdoin. Senior Imu
fielder Bob Iverson's speed , id
agile catches have won him gi ,it
respect as a valuable defen e
player.
The hitting punch this sea .iii
has been supplied by junior rill
II(!deman and sophomore Jim
linggs who have compiled .'.:;n
and .282 averages respectively, i x-
clusive of the Harvard game. '1 iie
team lacked long-ball power, being
able to compile only six exlui-
basc hits. The only home-ran
came from the bat of junior ctu-
terfielder Bob McAlaine. Junims
Norm Walker and Rich Kau.iii
were the most consistent hitlii.s.
J. B. Morris led the sophomdiv-
dominated pitching staff with a
2-1 record.
The second Amherst ganio,
played at Williamstown, found tlie
Eph squad connecting 12 timos
for its best hitting performance
of the season. Briggs led the at-
tack with three safeties. Bill
Hedeman drove in two runs wilh
a triple and a single in the 9-5
loss. Junior Bruce McEldowncy
was the starting and losing pit-
cher.
Hoping to notch their fourth
victory Williams triiveled to Yule
on June 3rd. The Ephs led li-O
until the last of the sixth inning
when Yale cut loose with a seviu-
run outburst. The game ended in
a 9-4 defeat for Williams. Bill
Hedeman continued his late sea-
son hitting collecting three I'its
and driving in three runs. Sopho-
more Ned LeRoy, the starting and
losing pitcher, did a fine job i;n-
til the disastrous sixth. He stinck
out seven and gave up only thiee
hits until that inning.

Vigorous campaigning was con-

those in favor appearing first with
charges that hou.ses with men on
the committee enjoyed an advan-
tage over other houses in rushing.
The opponents of the proposal de-
clared that the move was a vote of
mistrust of the students' ability to
handle their own problems. Neu-
tral observers claimed the vote
merely provided for more efficient
handling of the cards, freeing the

not preventing them from seeing

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, SUNDAY, JUNE 8. 1958
To all college students
who say: "show me"
Here's the chance to go and see,
go and share the adventure
that is Europe today
Right now, for less than $50 down, Pan
Am will fly you into the heart of the live-
liest current history you will find anywhere.
Here, where the free world starts, you will
live at firsthand the language and the cus-
toms and the headlines you've only read
about till now. This is your opportunity to
share in the color and excitement of the
quickest changing scene on earth.
You will fly to the country of your choice
(anywhere in Free Europe) on Pan Am's
low Clipper* Thrift Fares.
Hotel space still available
On arrival, you will either live in one of
the pensions or small hotels that are the
stamping grounds of European students, a
Youth Hostel (maximum charge, 30^ a
day), or join one of the many tours that
will be crisscrossing the continent this
summer. In either case, you are in for an
experience so wonderful and rare that you'll
be talking about it happily for years.
Guide to budget tours
To help you plan this wonder trip in a
matter of hours, Pan Am has assembled for
you a representative list of varied tours still
open even at this late dale. Yuu will find it an
invaluable guide to a quick and memorable
trip to Europe, and once you have made
your selection your travel agent or any Pan
Am office can arrange all the details.
Go Now — Pay Later
And here's the best news of all. This is a
trip you can afford right now. With the
easy-to-manage Pan Am Pay Later Plan, a
round trip to Europe can be yours for
under $50 down. Take up to 20 months to
pay the balance — time enough to earn your
fare by working after school once you have
returned. If you wish, your ground ex-
penses, too, can be handled on the Pan
Am Pay Later Plan.
And you will travel in fast, radar-equipped
"Super-7" Clippers, holders of over 15 trans-
atlantic speed records, or giant "Super-6s"
—all manned by the most experienced over-
ocean flight crews in the world. Yet all this is
yours at low economy- class Clipper Thrift
Fares.
Leader in college travel
You are in the hands of the world's most
experienced airline when you travel Pan
American, the airline that carries more
people to Europe than the next two airlines
combined. And you know that Pan Am,
pioneer of the Bermuda College Week, is a
leader in college travel, too.

Council Stresses
Total Opportunity
Last week's College Council
meeting, held in the middle of
fraternity rushing, stressed that
total opportunity for Williams
men to join a hou.se is not a cer-
tainty merely because the goal
was achieved last year.
President Jack Hyland '59,
spoke for the Council in emphasiz-
ing that the i.ssue must be kept
fresh in the minds of the students
until total opportunity is achieved
again this fall.
New Horizons
Hyland also distributed the Pre-
sident's Report which will be con-
sidered at the next meeting which
included a recommendation for a
.ioint student-faculty Curriculum
Committee. "It would be made up
of .students of keen intellect and
who have a good degree of per-
manence," Hyland noted. "The

Burns Wins Primary;
Begins Hard Campaign
Williams professor James M
Burns won a sweeping victory in
the September 9 Democratic pri-
mary contest for First Massachu-
setts District Congres.sman.
By a margin of over 4.000 votes
Burns defeated Holyoke County
Commis-sioner William Stapleton
after a tough summer campaign.
Aided by eight interns from Ohio
Wesleyan's Institute of Practical
Politics, Burns parried accusations
spread privately by Stapleton sup-
porters that he was an atheist and
a Communist.
..When Stapleton called Burns a
"Fabian socialist" in public. Burns
challenged him to open debate.
Stapleton's refusal to meet this
challenge was instrumental. Burns
believes, in turning the tide in his
favor.
Burns now faces Republican Sil-
vio Conte, State Senator from
Pittsfield, in the November elec-
tion. It will be a tough fight In a
Congressional District which has
not voted Democratic since 1892.
Yet Burns feels that a well-man-
aged, energetic campaign can
bring him victory.
In the August 31 issue of the
"New York Times Magazine"
Burns published an article on the
"professor in the political maze."
A Williams graduate and professor
of political science here. Burns
who has written a prizewinning
biography of Roosevelt, wrote that
"the social scientist is not a know-
it-all or savior, but he does have
a way of viewing problems that

'Ihree post-rushiiii^ sessions Wednesday ailernoon residtetl in 15 sophomores hcini^ picked up.

Bids may be extended now to

12 members of the cla.ss of 1961
cither did not enter ru.shing or
dropped out after the first round.
At lea.st three absent sophomores
have received permission to enter
rushing later in the year.
A total of 11 fraternities reach-
ed or augmented their quotas of
18 pledges with the remaining four
accumulating 16, 13, 12 and 10
men respectively.
Following last year's rushing
which ultimately resulted in To-
tal Opportunity, 251 out of 268
candidates were pledged. 14 men
were eligible to be picked up after
the grace period. Unlike this year
when every rushee listed at least
10 houses, 1957 activities found
three men listing fewer than 10,
bouncing through and being bid-
able only after the first semester.
The innovation of four profes-
sional secretaries to assist Rush-
ing Arbiter Frank R. Thorns, Jr.
and the CC-SC Rushing Commit-
tee headed by Len Grey '59, pro-
vided the basic technical change
in the system. Sorting bids and
choices was successfully accomp-
lished for the second year by IBM
equipment.
Commenting on techniques fol-
lowed in tlie Roper Room this
year, Mr. Thoms expressed strong
sentiments toward the advantages
of a revamping of present proce-
dures. Various conflicting elements
such as the need for a short and
consequently cramped rushing
period and. at the same time, a
small, manageable working staff
"annually brings those involved
close to the limits of human en-
durance".
"The problems involved are not
concerned with the failings of the
IBM machine and personnel", he
continued, "but, rather, the basis
of the trouble lies in the pressure
of the deadlines we have to keep.
A system like this cannot be bet-
tered simply by more assistance."

A dozen students are assisting
in his campaign this fall. Burns
called the student aid he received
last spring and during the sum-
mer "invaluable." Among the
Williams undergraduates who
worked with Burns over the sum-
mer were Frank Johnson '59, and
Dave Farrell '62.
Burns' chances for victory
have increased with speculation
of a Democrat sweep in the state
elections. Incumbent Senator
Kennedy faces little threat from
the Republicans. And incumbent
Democrat, Governor Poster Fur-
colo is the heavy favorite.

Wide Geograpliic Area
Selected from a wide geographic
area, the freshmen come from 32
states, Washington, D.C., Hawaii,
India, and Brazil as well as spe-
cial students from Japan, Switzer-
land, Jordan. Italy, and England.
Five fre.shmen spent last year at
a school in England on an Inter-
national Schoolboy FellowsViip af-
ter graduating in 1957 from Am-
erican prep schools.
Roughly one quarter of the class
(23.5 per cent) are receiving fi-
nancial assistance through loans
and scholarships. This figure in-
cludes 11 winners of the National
Merit Scholarship and one Gen-

Low Attrition Last Spring
The low attrition rate last
spring caused the large crop of
freshmen this year. In spite of
this increased number however,

180,000 Man Hours
Approximately 750 men par-
ticipated in rushing. Fraternity
members devoted eleven full
days to the job; sophomores ex-
pended eight. Since nearly all
returned expressly for rushing,
twenty-four hours a day was
devoted to the task. For the
sophs, that's 48,000 man hours;
for the fraternity men, 132.000.
Total man hours spent on rush-
ing: 180,000.
Morgan Suite Burns;
$9,000 Damage Done
A fire demolished nine thousand
dollars worth of college and stu-
dent property in a third floor suite
of Morgan Hall September 9.
The fire was discovered about
8:30 p.m. by one of the stu-
dents living in the suite. The Gale
Hose Company of Williamstown
arrived shortly thereafter and
quenched the blaze before it
spread to other rooms.
Each of the three students lost
property valued at about $1,000 in
the blaze. Peter C. Welanetz, Di-
rector of Buildings and Grounds
estimated the damage ab.sorbed by
the college to be between $5,000
and $6,000.
It is believed that the fire spread
from a discarded cigarette. The
blaze was the third since 1904
when a fire destroyed the entire
interior of the building.

Warsaw Wonderings
As iinibassudoiial confcitMiccs with Red Ch
na proceed behind closed door.s in Wiusaw, we
wonder about their outcome, since total war
could pow from the offshore island conflict be-
infi; nej^otiatcd.
Although it seems that these wars will be limit-
ed brush-fire engagements, the shadow of a nu-
clear arms race and East-West misunderstand-
ing continue to jiose the threat that the ccutiny
of total war has not yet ended. A situation of ir-
revocable commitment where face must be saved
—similar to that in the Balkans in 1914— is not
impossible today. And the war which would re-
sult from such a situation would be an unimag-
inable disaster.
Such a situation could occur off Chitia's Fu-
kien coast. If Mao's artillery resumes its bombard-
ment of the offshore islands, and the blockade
of the Quemoys were tightened to the ])oint of
strangulation, it is conceivable that Chiang would
bomb the mainland, bringing both the Soviet
Union and the United States into ;i conflict dif-
ficult to back out of.
Yet even if Red (China's gmts remain silent,
the problem of two Chinas will remain as well
as the possibility of a nuclear war being fought
in the China Sea.
A major step toward the elimination of this
possibility would be U. S. recognition of Red
China and its admission to the U. N.
It is dangerous to build a U. S. China policy
on Chiang's dream of reconqucst or on a situa-
tion which existed during the Korean War.
Chiang could be recognized as the government
of Taiwan, Mao as the government of six million
mainland Chinese. It would be a stat(Muent of
fact, not ajiproval of Mao's dictatorial extremes.
And the closer contact with China could give
us an op]iortunity to negotiate Sino-Ameriean
problems instead of waiting until Red China tries
to settle them by force.
Admission of Red China to the U. N. would
strengthen that organization, as a sizable projior-
tion of the world s population is at present un-
represented. If Mao's delegation lines np with
Russia, two vetoes will be no more frustrating
than one. And it becomes increasingly evident
that Russia's and Red China's interests are not
always similar.
And as the U. N. is strengthened, the chan-
ces for a ))ermaiient peace iinproN-e. For, as was
shown in Lebanon last siuniner, the East River
iishbowl can |Mo\ide at least a temporary .safety
\alve to world tensions by relieving a threat of
war by a flurr)' of words.
Ruling Reflections
As classes begin today the concentrated
sound and fury of rushing have recedi'd while
Williams students turn their attention to getting
an' education.
The small talk has been made; the mints
anil water ha\'e been consumed; die names of
sophomores have been arranged and rearranged
on lists; die IRM maeliine lias done its sortinjr;
and the tensions have been dis.sipated by pledge
banijuets.
Some houses have "done well". Others have
not "done well". Yet when pressed, no one can
really explain what "doing well" means. The cri-
teria for selection remains, as always, hazy.
Some sojihomores are happy. Others are
not haiijiy. Yet we hope inost will find that with
time and |)ers|iective, they can be happy in any
fraternity and that, in the context of a lifetime,
it isn't all diat important anyway.
Two Problems
1) The most important ]5roblem is that
houses still must extend bids to three so]5hoinores
who received none. The post-rushing sessions
brought us very close to total o])portunity. And
for this achievement we congratulate those re-
;])()iisible. Yet a further effort must be made.
We recognize that total op])ortiinity is not
a solution to all the |5roblems wliich a fraternity
svstein creates. We do not feel that everyone
should acce|it an 0]5portuiiity to join a fraternity,
as those not interested in fraternity life have not
always been ha|5|iy as members of a house. Un-
tliinking |)re.ssine toward total opportunity tends
to force I'very Williams man to become a fra-
ternity man, whereas a large non-affiliates grou])
might be beneficial to the college community by
l^rovidiiig an attractive alternative to fraternity
membership.
Yet we feel strongly that ex'crj'one should be
offered the op|iortunity. Wc feel this strong;ly not
only out of res]H'ct for the feelings of the one
per cent left out, hut also because of the nature
of tiie fraternity .system at Williams. So many
students are members of houses that the houses
are no longer exclusive clubs but an integral ytdvt
of college life here. Such a system is (|uite un-
healthy unless each student is invited— if he so
chooses— to take part in this fundamental charac-
teristic of life at Williams.
The most graceful way to achieve total op-
portunity is through the |50st-nishing periods.
This way did not ((uite work this year. We urge
sludent leadership to take U|5 the job which re-
mains, and to coin|)k'te it with tact and s])eed.
2) The mechanics of the rushing system
did not operate smooddy diis year. This was not
at all tiie fault of Mr. Thorns and his secretarial
staff who did back-breaking work. The fault is
in the mechanics diemselves. We mge the ru.sh-
ing committee to study the situation and work to
straighten out die difficulties.
VIEWPOINT
Pledging Panacea?
PLEDCING PANACEA?
Over the past several years Total Opi^or-
tunity has added a great deal of respectal)ility
to and indeed been a symljol of progress in a
system which twenty years ago was much more
closed and discriminating than it is now. And yet,
the aura of liberalism and humanitarianism
which surrounds these magical words of "Total
Opportunity" is not what it seems. Progress is
slow, and we wonder if it really needs to hurt
so much.
Most everyone, and csjiecially the liberal
leaders, will agree diat the period of rn.shing is
an unnatural and agonizing time. The lonj^ ses-
sions ol diss(-cting personalities are generally
re|)uguent to most Williams students. Each year
the liberals insist that diey will make die chop
sessions more huniane, more tolerant; and the
aim and high goal of all diis goodwill is the
achievement of Total Op]ioiinnity.
Problem Perpetuated
Sadly, diough, this seems to be like trying to
|)ut out a fire by throwing kerosene on it.
I'irst of all. unless Total Ojiportunity is ac-
hit>ved before the jiledge baiuiuets, which has
not yet been done, it only drags out the period
of ru.shing and accentuates the agony. We can
liardlv imagine that dierc is much .solace for
an individual when he is finally a))proached with
the announcement that he has been accepted and
told to rejoicel
But worse is the fact that the recent and amazingly snccess-
fid effort to offer fraternity menil)erslii|5 to all diose who desire it
seems to be turning Williams into a college where I'veryonc is a
fraternity man. Even those most rejielled by this ])rocess of selec-
tivity feel almost obligated to get into the system, h)r there seems
to be such hope of ini|)roving it from within. A person eonecrnecl
with contributing anything to Williams can hardly feel useful in
such a small minority. Thus more and more are going to ha\e to
endure the annual rushing period. And for what iMupose';' H does
not seem jirobable Uiat die fraternities will ever relin(|uisli tlieir
very life blood: selectivity— especially when it is made so respect-
able by allowing everyone to hecoini! a part of it. What will re-
suit is that all the fraternities each year will continue to divide
all the sophomores among them, and diey will feel that this is very
liberal because everyone will g<'t the opportunity to chop aiul he
chopjied.
A strange jiaradox, then, seems to plague those who WDidd
reform die fraternity system, for thev shake their heads in i, irrct
at selectivity and diserimination, and work devotedly at a plan
intended to lessen these exils, which in reality only aeceniiuites
diem and assures their )ierpetuation. DMH

Williams Welcomes 7 New Foreign
Students To Its Campus This Year
THE WILLIAMS RECORD. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1958
Williams is fortunate to welcome
seven new foreign students to the
campus this year. Three of them
are recipients of the Bowdoln
Plan and Haystack Memorial
Scholarship awards. Pour others,
or a total of seven, are now finan-
cially supported throuirh the com-
bined efforts of undergraduates
nnd college trustees.
Tuition for Bowdoin Plan and
Haystack Memorial Scholarships
is remitted each year by vote of
the Trustees. Last spring the en-
tire undergraduate body donated
over $1500 to cover the cost of
housing these foreign students.
Board expenses are shared by all
fraternities and the Student Un-
ion on a rotational basis. Books
are available to them through the
1914 Scholarship Library.
The Bowdoin Plan and Haystack
Memorial Scholarship recipients
represent seven different coun-
tries. Pour of these students, Tao
Ho from China, Warner Kim from
Korea, Gabor Telecki from Hun-
gary and Noel Yeh from Malaya
are continuing their study at Wil-
liams this year. The three new
scholarship grants go to Guide
Schilling from Switzerland, Mo-
hammed Qasim from Jordan,
and Alberto Passigli from Italy.
In addition to the above stu-
dents, four other now foreign stu-
dents will join the undergraduate
body. Two of these, Colin Byford
and Peter W. S. Percival come
from England. Peter is here on a
one-year exchange with Bill
Har.sch '60, who is spending the
year at Cambridge. Another, Jun-
nosuke Purukawa, from Tokyo,
Japan, will be a special student
having graduated from Keio Uni-
versity last year. The fourth stu-
dent, Alfred Brinnand, hailing
from Calcutta, India, will enter
a.s a full-time .student and a mem-
ber of the Cla.ss of '62.
Schilling and Qasim are plan-
ning to study sciences at Wil-
liams. Both are proficient in sev-
eral languages including German,
French, Arabic, Italian, and Eng-
lish.
Passigli and Brinnand are both
taking pre-engineering courses.
Passigli enjoys soccer, tennis and
track; Brinnand, on the other
hand, likes boxing, cricket and
squash with special interest in
drama and debating.
Business and economics are
fields of study for Percival and
Purukawa. Percival would like to
work in Australia where he was
educated during the war. Puru-
kawa, having already received his
Baclielor of Arts and Economics
in Japan, is interested in taking
special courses while at Williams.
Mr. Peter Pelham of the Ad-
missions Department and faculty
adviser foi- these students is plan-
ning a smoker to be held within
the next month to introduce them
to the rest of the college.

Dean's List Discloses
Marked Improvement
A total of 291 students or 28
per cent of the college made the
dean's list at the end of the sec-
ond semester. This marks a con-
siderable improvement over the 23
per cent (including freshmen) who
attained an 8.0 average or better
the first semester.
The class of '58 led the college
with 39.4 per cent as 93 seniors
made dean's list. Lowest on the]
list was the class of '61 with 17.7 j
per cent. The class of '60 register- 1
.-d the greatest improvement with
IS per c?nt compared to 16 perl
c;nt for the first semester.
The percentage of the sopho-
.nores attaining honors rase from
1!) per cent to 19 per cent. How- ^

The high man in the college was
.'\lexander Fetter '58, with an 11.60 j
average. Leonard Grey led the
class of '59, with an 11.20 average,
Matthew Nimetz '60, and Herb
Canip '61, topped their clas.ses with

Biologists, Bankers, Bell Executives
Attend Williams Summer Sessions
During the summer months
Williams played host to four
groups of business and profession-
al men.
For the second year two groups
of 150 bankers participated in the
two-week School of Banking at
Williams. This program was de-
signed to widen the banking
knowledge of the representatives
of the "middle management
group".
Following the theory that a
liberal background is advanta-
geous to the executive, the Bell
Telephone System sponsored the
Institute for American Studies,
designed for 33 of their executives
from 19 states. President James
P. Baxter 3d instructed a class
in American diplomatic history.
Professors Vincent Barnett, Wil-
liam Cole, William Gates, Whit-
ney Stoddard, and Don Gifford al-
so conducted courses in the hu-
manities.
Forty-one biologists attended
the week-long Summer Institute
tor Junior College and College
Teachers of Biology sponsored by
the American Society of Zoolo-
gists and supported by the Na-
tional Science Foundation.
The final summer program was
a month-long Business Adminis
tration Seminar, conducted by the
Carnegie Institute of Technology's

Varsity Soccer
Team Dominated
By Class Of '61
Led by Co-captains Mike Bar-
ing-Gould and Don Lum, 35 var-
sity soccer candidates reported
September 10 for what could be
one of Coacti Clarence Cliaffee's
most successful campaigns.
Willi only four starters return-
ins from last year's team the
Ki-aduates of the freshman .squad
can be expected to carry much of
the load. Defense .should be strong
with Lum at the right full baolc
slot and .sophomore Tom Pox at
the left full. The loss of Jock
Purcell via graduation leaves a
difficult gap to plug, but Chaffee
feels that either junior Bee De-
Mallie or sophomore Bobby Adams
can do the job once they gain
some experience.
Aside from Fox and Adams other
sophomores to see a lot of ac-
tion during the fall are Ben Field,
who has just about sewed up the
inside right position, Gordie Ste-
venson who is pushing veteran
Tommy Thoms for a wing berth
and Pete Stanton who will prob-
ably split the other wing chores
with junior Toby Smith. Fred
Brillcr looks like the most capable
candidate for center forward and
will passibly make the .sixth .sopho-
more in the starting lineup. Sen-
ior Kem Bawden will be at center
half again and along with co-cap-
tains Baring-Gould and Lum will
have to provide almost all the
poi.se for this talented but inex-
perienced team.
With one scrimmage against
RPI under their bells before the
start of classes Coach Chaffee will
have an opportunity to see just
how much he can count on the
sophomores in the sea.son opener
against U. Ma,ss, on October 8.
Varsity Football Opens At Trinity;
Higgins Key Man In Split-T Attack
Fullback BOB STEGEMAN cuts toward the line after handoff
from quarterback GARY HIGGINS during XJ. V. M. scrimmage.
By Sam Parkhill
Saturday, September 27, the
Williams varsity football team will
open the 1958 season at Trinity
in their initial effort to maintain
last fall's unbeaten record. After
almost twenty days of intensive
double and single .sessions and
one scrimmage with the Universi-
ty of Vermont Coach Len Wal-
ters feels his boys are even far-
ther along than at the same time
last year when Williams rolled
o\'er Harvard in a pre-season
scrimmage.
At the helm of the Walters
style split-t, for the third year
will be co-captain and quarter-
back, Gary Higgins, With Higgins
the only signal caller with any
real experience the distance this
1958 team goes will rest largely on
the quality of his performance.
In the rest of the backfield speed
and experience are the keynotes.
Taking over fullback from the
graduated Donner and Potter will
be Bobby Rorke and Bob Stege-
man both of whom saw consider-
able ,service last season as sopho-
mores. At the halfback slots Dan-
ny Rorke, who played his first
varsity game in 1955 will hook up
with speed merchant Cliip Ide.
Over the ball Junior Bobby
Kaufmann will attempt to fill the
.shoes left b,y Hank Dimlich, while
fending off threats from Senior
Dave Batch eler and .sophomore
Tom Millington for the starting
berth. Flanking the center seniors
Jim Richardson and Stu Wallace
will carry most of the load aided
by sophomoie Bob Reeves, At the
tackles junior Ed Eggers and sen-
ior Bob Lowden will probably an-
swer the starting whistle with Tom
Heekin in reserve. The end .squad
bolstered by Bob Hatcher, a back
last season, will have rangy senior
Dan Fanning and junior Sandy
Smith in the starting positions.

Renovation Of Jesup
Improves Auditorium
A repainted exterior and a com-
pletely renovated auditorium are
the major features of the "new"
Jesup Hall. A $15,000 summer pro-
ject of the Buildings and Grounds
department brightened the facade
of the 69-year-old landmark and
provided a suitable auditorium for
lectures and large meetings.
The auditorium now contains a
new lighting system, floor, stage
drop and plush theater seats. The
simimer improvements was the
first step in a long range redevel-
opment plan to completely reno-
vate the building. The next item
scheduled to be redone is the hall
on the ground floor. Assistant su-
perintendent of Buildings and
Grounds William Bryant said
that work on thi.s project should
get underway sometime this win-
ter.

cla in that some of the floors were

so ,H)int out that some of the doors
liail to lie sawed off on angles so
tiii\ would close.
Reaction Good
Tlie reaction of the freshmen in
the annex has, however, been good.
Comments range from "It's great,"
to I'd rather bs here than in the
qiiiul." Tliey particularly like the
wall paper, which gives the an-
lux a home-like atmosphere, and
till' natural privacy which the set-
up of the house affords them.
Llie most frequent complaint
sriais to be the difficulty of get-
tini; to know the rest of the class.
cm the other hand many are glad
til b;' away from the "uproarious"
quad. The increased distance does
not seem to be much of a prob-
lem. In fact some of them are go-
ins; to daily breakfast.
Freshman Dean Cole said that

ed, with the reaction. He expres,sed
confidence that the students
would be happy in the annex.

Fall Houseparties
This year's Purple Key Society
has completed plans for Fall
Houseparties. Having spent a great
dial of time on proposed pro-
jects, the society is also about to
offer a new and bigger college
Calendar,
Pall Houseparties' activities will
feature Lionel Hampton and Car-
men McRae. Hampton, with a
fourteen piece orchestra, will ap-
l>ear at an all-college dance on
I'liday. This will be preceded by
the perennial football rally and
po.ster contest.
Carmen McRae, one of the most
popular female jazz artists, will
inovide the entertainment Satur-
day evening. Her two hour per-
formance will include jazz, rock
■1 roll, and comedy. There is also
a possibility that an octet from
one of the Ivy League colleges
will appear with her.
New Calendar
Having been increased both in
size and number of pages, the
Purple Key calendar is scheduled
'0 go on sale Monday, Sept. 30.
•'he Key will, as usual, run all
the football rallies and will print
imd distribute programs for all
home soccer games.
Purple Key Weekend, a winter
project of the society, will occur
around the first week in March
However, nothing definite has de-
\'cloped due to the pending elec-
tion which will most likely occur
next Monday, Sept. 30.
A plan to "socialize" housepar-
ties by levying a $10 tax on each
student was submitted to the Col-
lege Council Monday night by
John Mangel '59, chairman of the
CC committee on liouseparties.
The plan now goes to the student
body for approval.
By paying the tax each student
will pay for three all-college
dances and three Saturday night
programs on houseparty weekends.
"Under tliis plan each student
will pay only $10 wliere he for-
mi!rly paid $20," said Mangel.
Gul
The council also authorized the
Council Committee of Finance to
pay tlie debt incurred by the Gul
in the 58 edition. A total of $1,635
IS still owed on last year's issue.
About $900 is still in outstanding
bills which will be collected. CCF
funds will make up the difference.
Regarding tire Gul, Jack Hyland,
President of the CC, promised that

In other business. Dean Robert
R. R. Brooks issued a warning
that serious disciplinary action
would be taken against anyone
caught participating in a riot
where property and health were
endangered. The warning came
shortly after a freshman riot dur-
ing freshman days in which two
students were injured. "The col-
lege's position on riots is merely
to prevent the breaking of doors
and arms," said Brooks.
Fall Convocation

RECORD Interviews New Chaplain;
DeBoer Speaks On Morals, Society
Backs N. Adams Aid
In Massachusetts Kennedy has
spurred legislation to lessen the
impact of tariff reductions on New
England industries and has stress-
ed the need for aid to such de-
pressed economic areas as North
Adams.
On the national and interna-
tional scene the senator has de-
livered speeches in the Senate pre-
dicting U. S. missile inferiority by
19G0. He has also advised Prance
to get out of Algeria and is a
staunch advocate of foreign aid
to Poland and India.
Though he was neutral during
the Massachusetts Democratic
primaries, Kenned.v has since stat-
ed that he is looking forward to
campaigning with Williams Pro-
fessor James Burns, who is cur-
rently running for Congress on
the same ticket.
Republican Opposition
Kennedy's goal, it is thought,
is to win the coming November
election by such a stunning ma-
jority that he may be considered
a strong possibility for the Dem-
ocratic Presidential nomination in
1960. His Republican opponent is
little-known Vincent J. Celeste,
a Boston lawyer. Celeste is basing
his campaign upon small personal
attacks on Kennedy rather than
upon major issues. His main stand
is that the present senator doesn't
have a legal state residence, since
Kennedy lives out of state and
merely retains an apartment in
Boston.
Committee Announces
Late Rushing Session
Four sophomores who returned
to Williamstown late this year will
be rushed by fraternities next
week.
According to Rushing Commit-
tee Chairman, Len Grey '59, Kent
Paxton, Dave Coughlin, Jack
Strand, and Dick Lowy will begin
a two-house-a-day tour of all fif-
teen fraternities either Monday
or Tuesday.
Possible System Changes
As for the mechanics of the
rushing system. Chairman Grey
stated that because of this year's
hectic rushing period, a revision
in the rushing mechanics is in
order. Although nothing definite
has been planned by the commit-
tee, the revision will probably al-
low more time to meet deadlines.
More secretaries will probably be
employed, and next fall's rushing
period perhaps extended.
By Ted Castle
"My hope is to get into the
swing of Williams College not by
making a big noise but by picking
up the spirit of the school and
trying to gain an understanding
of the fellows Irere."
Williams' new chaplain, Law-
rence Paul DeBoer (pronounced
Dee Boor) is a large man with a
conservative, friendly personality
and an impressive seriousness of
purpose. "I see my job as repre-
senting religion as it can be lived
with integrity by twentieth cen-
tury intellectually sophisticated
man."
De Boer was ordained a Baptist
minister in 1950 after graduation
from the University of Rochester
(New York) with a B. A. in his-
tory. He went to a rural high
school in his native South Dakota
and then worked his way through
foul' years of a five-year course at
Baptist Theological Seminary in
Rochester, transferring to the
University after deciding not to
become a minister.
Three years later, however, he
received his Bachelor of Divinity
degree at Union Theological Sem-
inary, New York, and continued
studying the philosophy of reli-
gion at Union and Columbia.
In February of 1957 he was ap-
pointed assistant dean of students
at Union, a Job concerned with
CHAPLAIN DE BOER
seriousness of purpose
counseling and student financial
aid. At the same time he received
considerable training in psychi-
atric method and counseling.
The new chaplain comes to Wil-
liams with a good deal of educa-
tion in various fields but with re-
latively little experience. "The
College believes that religion

Head AMT Program
The Adams Memorial Theatre
has announced a new ticket poli-
cy for the current college year,
announced assistant director Wil-
liam Martin.
Each student can receive a card,
entitling him to one admission for
each AMT- produced performance.
The cost o^ this card has been
included in the student activities
tax paid by each student. Stu-
dents will not, therefore, have to
buy tickets or subscriptions to at-
tend the shows.
The card, however, does not cov-
er productions staged by Cap and
Bells I tlie student theater group)
or by any other organizations ex-
cept the AMT, emphasized Martin.
Fall Plans
During the first semester two
of four presentations will be AMT-
produced. They are a concert
reading of Dylan Thomas' "Under
Milkwood" and James Barrie's
"Peter Pan".
Thomas' script was written as
a radio .show and can be easily
adapted to concert-form. Direct-
ed by Drama Assistant Robert
Matthews, it will be presented Oc-
tober 15 and 16.

Warsaw Wonderings: II
\t Ik'riniimlon la.st Friday ineinhcr.s ol a fa-
culty panel on the Taiwan i.s.sue liroiifrht tlic ])(>!-
ifv ol t'ontaininoiit, whifli tlic United States lia.s
lollowed lor tlie pa.st ten ycar.s, under (|ne.stioii.
Tlii.s policy, they said, ]5lays into tlie hands
of Soviet and Chinese ])ro]iai;;andist.s' assertions
of American atrt^ression. As evidence they pointed
to t)ur support of C>hiaMij;, who earlier this week
tried (fortunately, with little success) to iir^e
Admiral Felt to hombard niainlaiid i^uii en|ilaee-
ments.
This iiolicy has jirewnted ns from rcspoiid-
inu; fle.viblv to varying situations, they said, for
it lias not left lis room to make concessions to tlie
C>oinmiinists in an effort to preserve peace. Not
concessions wbieh would satisfy (yhinese or liiis-
sian imperialism. ]5iit concessions which would
free us Irom a commitment to status cpio in a
clianf^ing world. For a frozen and fi.xcd policy,
the i^anclists pointed out, works ultimately to our
disadvantage.
An example of tbis kind of disadvantageous
policy; we have, since the Korean War, supported
Cbiaiiji;. At that time, when we were fif^liting Red
China at Soeiil and Inchon, this made sense. But
now, when neutralist Asian opinion considers
(Jliiang a leiidalist and liis Kiiomintaiiir backward
and when Chiang's obstinance about the Que-
movs— which arc ol little stratCiric value to us—
threatens to hrinif— us into war^ our policy is ini-
clianj^ed.
Last Wednesday it seemed that Dulles was
having second tliouu;hts about his firm China
)iolicy, because of the criticism it has received. He
plans to ]5reseiit the Queinov issue to the UN if
nesrotiations fail at Warsaw. Perba|)s this is a
foretaste of some flexibility, of a sophistication
of the policy of containment. We hope so.
LIGHT
Anyone venturing to |)ass through either the
Freshman or Sophomore nuads is likely to find
tlie j^oiiii; difficult after dark. Anyone desiring
to go from the fresliinaii (luad to the library at
night using the route which passes (^hapin Hall
is ajit to find the j^oinir dangerous. The same
danger is |oresent for anyone who may wi.sh to
take the steps behind the Sophomore quad and
above the hockey rink as a night route to Spring
Street.
Outdoor lighting is lacking at Williams. A
|)cdestrian, especially one in any kind of hurry,
risks injury as long as these conditions prevail.
First of all, there are not enough lights to guide
the many students that walk the campus each
night. Students in the jjast liave been injured
by running into the fence running along the road
atljaecnt ti) the Cimgregational Church. Hurrying
to some appointment, these jieopli', in their haste,
did not see the fence because it was obscured by
darkness. Many a student has, on at least one
occasion, walked into the same fence as he tried
to anticipate where the path runiiing by Chapin
was.
Secondly, the few lights that do exist are
either mi.seiably inaintahied or destroyed by stu-
dents or vandals. A case in point is the light
which points the way ojjposite the Sig Phi house
by Cha|)in Hall. It rarely shines.
We strongly hope that tlie IJuiklings and
Grounds De|3aitiin'nt will investigate this situa-
tion to see what steps might be taken to remedy
it. Perhaiis lights could be installed at the door
of each Freslnnaii and Sophomore entry, and a
more careful check could be maintained on the
light by Chajiin and those along the walk behind
the So]3hoinore cpiad.
We consider the condition existing at present
to ])e a serious one. We have not found similar
conditions |irevailing on other college campuses
and beli(>ve any ini|m)vement would be con-
strncti\c and a service to the Williams com-
iiinnitv.
Ederyboiy's Porridge: I
"I ncDcr thrust nil/ nose into other men's
ponid'^c. It is no bread and butter of mine; ev-
cvcrij man for ]iiinself, and God for us all."
Cervantes, Don Quixote
In this, the great age of togetherness, this
bit of |)liiloso)iIu sounds rather out of place. Still,
the thousand or more separate and not-(|uite-
c((iial porridge jiots remain here at Williams,
carefully shrouded on an all-eiivclo|iing mist of
ajiathy, imdistiubed by outside influences and
only seldom noticed, even by their owners.
W'c have been born into the age of the Fail-
ure Norm, and seem to have acclimated ourseKes
to it comfortably. This and the Social Ethic are
our ways of being our gods; we are quite confi-
dent that the \ alue of the individual voice in our
society is radicr infinitesimal if it differs from our
great ethic. And
"Our dried voices, wlicn
We w]iis|5er togetlier
Arc (|uiet and meaningles.s"
The man who s]5eaks for himself is a rebel;
the quiet noncontrihntor is the good citizen. Hy-
pocrisy is necessary if our millpond is to remain
complacently unrip])led; we will avoid any un-
l^leasaiit issue as a child skirts a hot stove that
has once burned him. This jiypocritical necessity
is ;i ])ridge Irom ourselves to a system of ethics
and mores to which we will only give lip service,
as they ;ire either too much trouble or impossible
to attain; to avoid any issues, we rigidly adhere to
the security of status ((uo. For instance, we create
a woiidcrbilly com|5licated rushing system and
religionslv swear to its efficiency, deftly ignoring
the fact that dirty rushing is more than merely
extant; we all know it. Yet it is too uncomfortable
to admit the truth of this. Without a law, justice
is nearly im|)()ssible; but without justice, a law
is useless. ,\ system so widely disregarded must
not he a just one. Yet will we do anything re-
(ili.slie about it?
It is my thesis that, with this attitude, a
democracy, whether as huge as our nation or
as tiny as our student government, cannot func-
tion |iro|-)crly or at all.
But cynical criticism cannot be justified by
itself. We must offer answers; that will be one
of the goals of Evenihodi/'s Porrid<ie. In the in-
stallments to follow, I will follow u]i specific
criticisms such as that of th(> ru.shing .system
with corresponding suggestions. There are also
parts of our Williams life that deserve sincere
plaudits-such as the Honor System. This is also
jirojected.
Projected with one hope: that the spirit I
hope will pervade this column will somehow car-
ry on to its readers, and the issues discussed will
prompt them to sjieak for themselves.
Letter To The Editor
WEAK SERMON
To the RECORD:
If any further argument were needed to convince even the
firmest aclvoeatcs of compulsory chapel of the wi'akness of tlnnr
)K)sition, it was evident during the first chapel service of the semes-
ter. The Chapel was overflowing with an unusually large bod\ of
those who must fill in the numbered cards. The urgent inessatjc to
which they were forced to listen seemed especially irritatingdui-.
iiig this first of many sermons.
It appears not at all fair that the student body should |)e
forced to attend other sermons of the caliber foisted upon it dm iair
the initial attempt of Sunday evening. It apiiears to be both ,iii
insult to the student body's intelligence and to its j^owers of cn-
eentration to force it to do this.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Toil.iy li('(>;in.'< my fiftli year of writing this coluinn, and wliat an
ftvciill'iil livi? years it lias lipciil What tilings liave tlieso old eyes
nut soon! What uroat di.scovories have rocked the world — the
anliprolDu, for iiisiance, and the anti-neutron, uiid higii-low
split, and Hrinitto Bardot!
In those five years it has also been discovered that American
smokers like two kinds of cigarettes — filter and non-filter. The
I'hili]) Morris Company makes hoth kinds. I mention the
I'liilip Morris Cumiiaiiy heeau.se they pay me to iiieiitioii tlie
Philip Morris Company. Tliey sponsor this column. I write it
and then they give me money. Then I take the money and pay
my grocer, my Initcher, my gardener, and my four madrigal
singers. In this way full eiii])loyiiieiit is maintained and we
avoid a repetition of the I'aiiic of 187;{ when hread riots killed
over OS inillioii people in iMiincie, Indiana, and millions of others
were reduced to ghost-writing Ph. D. theses to keep body and
soul togollier.
But enough of gloom. I.et us get back to cheerful subjects,
like the products of the I'liilip Morris Company. For those of
you who wish filter cigarettes there is Marlboro, which now,
more tli/in ever, gives you a lot to like — a brand new improved
filter ;inii a wonderful flavor that comes breezing riglit through.
For Ihosc of you who wish non-filter cigarettes, there is I'liilip
Morris, a mild natural blend, flavorful, fresh, and thoroughly
«gree;ilile. For those of you who can't decide between filters or
non-filters but have an affinity for jjackages, I should like to
point out tliat both Marlboro and I'liilip Morris come in both
the crusliproof l''li|)-Top Box and the good old-fashioned Soft
Pack, and you will surely want several of each for your collection.
Speaking for myself, I smoke both MaHboro and Philip
Morris in hoth packs. What I do is make kind of a fun thing
out of it. In my bedroom I have hnir signs, one on each wall,
which siiy in turn; "PHILIP MOKHIS-SOFT PACK",
"PlllhlP MOHHIS-FLIP-TOP," "MARLBOHO-SOl'T
PACK" and "MARLBOHO-FLIP-TOP". When I get up in
the morning I put on a blindfold and then my faithful cat Ho\-er
spins me around six times and then, with many a laugh and
cheer, I walk forward with my finger outstretched and the first
sign I touch is the cigarette I smoke that day I
, ,,-■'. -*v/-^:.;. ;■ ■■ ■ ■;• -■•.';v,>,\.^,v.>^
As you can imagine, this little game has been a great source
of merriment to Rover and me, except for one untoward in-
cident one morning. I wa,s stumbling around in my blindfold
ami fell out the window right on top of a man named Fred R.
Timken, a census taker, and broke all his lead pencils. He was
cross aa a bear, and though I offered him both Philip Morris
and Marlboro in both the Flip-Top Box and Soft Pack, he
refused to be mollified. In fact, he refused t« put my name
down in the census, so when you read population figures of the
United States, will you please add one?
But I digress. We were speaking of Philip Morris nnd
Mariboro who will bring you this column throughout the school
year. In this space I will take up vital as|)ects of undergraduate
life, like high-low split and Brigitte Bardot, and it is my fimdest
hope that the column will be half lus much fun for you as it is
for niB. ji igjj ^,^^ Shulm.n
* * *
The makeri of Marlboro and Philip Morris welcome you to
another year of fun and games from Old Max, and another
yearof good smoking from us. Filler or non-nVer, pick what
you please— and what you pick will please you.

Walters To Use Two Teams
Against the heavier but slower
team quarterback Gary Higgins
can be expected to try and .~>pring
his halfbacks Chip Ide and Dan-
ny Rorke around the ends, mix-
ing it up with the drive series to
the inside. The elder Rorke will
probably also do some of the pass-
ing.
Coach Len Watters will attempt
to utilize two complete teams as
long as they hold up, taking ad-
vantage of the relaxed substitu-
tion rule. In an effort to tighten
the pass defense Watters will no
doubt scrap the man to man de-
fense and employ a zone, with five
men rushing the passer.
Thinclads Prepared
For Winning Season
After a discouraging season a
year ago. Cross Country coach
Tony Plansky is looking to con-
siderable improvement from his
squad this fall. The only loss by
graduation was Captain Bill Fox,
but his vacancy can be easily fill-
ed by one of several promising
sophomores.
Back from last season will be
Co-captains Bill Moomaw and
George Sudduth as well as junior
Buzz Morss who holds the record
over the five mile Williamstown
course. Abetting these three will
be a host of talent providing keen
competition for the seven start-
ing positions each week. Aside
from the captains and Morss, sen-
ior Dave Canfield, junior Colin
McNauU with sophomores Brian
O'Leary and Boots Coleman will
probably all be regular starters.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1958
Bowdoin Plan Student Jihad Qasim
Arrives At Williams From Jordan
Twenty-one year-old Moham-
med Qasim Is one of the recipi-
ents of the Bowdoin Plan and
Haystack Memorial Scholarships.
Qasim has come to Williams from
Tripoli, Jordan, where he taught
English for the Libyan govern-
ment.
Born in Jerusalem during the
general strike against the English
and nicknamed Jihad meaning
"strive", Qasim lives in Ramallah,
Jordan, where his father works
on road construction, "We live in
a small apartment, 16 kilometers
from Jerusalem, commented the
dark-haired, soft-spoken student.
"Like so many Arabs after the
Israeli war, we came to Jordan as
refugees,"
Arab-Israeli Relations
Coming from the center of the
Arab-Israeli crisis, Qasim has had
some contact with the situation.
He noted, "I don't know the feel-
ings of the people in Jordan, for
I have been away: however, the
situation is unnatural as long as
Israel is there for there will al-
ways be the possibility of border
skirmi.shes. The biggest complaint
the Arabs have against the Israel-
ites is the loss of their homes."
"I am strongly against war and
I realize that the United States is
against it; I only wish that some-
one would find a solution. I do
believe that Jews and Arabs can
live together harmoniously. In Lib-
ya, although the Arabs gained
control, Arabs and Italians live
together there happily. I stayed
in fact with an Italian family.
They .seemed like my own. Then
too in Libya, Jews and Arabs live
together; all are considered Lib-
yans."
Nasser
Qa.sim made several comments
on Nasser's influence in Jordan:
"He is not a Jordanian, but if
the Palestinians like him it is be-
cause he fought against Israel.
But the people do not like Com-
munism— it is against our nature.
If Nasser is a Communist, there
will have to be a break."
"I am not interested in politics,
but in the sciences, Qasim ex-
JOKDANIAN QASIM
from the tenter of crisis
plained. "I tiave hopes of going
into petroleum engineering in
Jordan. I like most of all, to make
friends and to see people — es-
pecially to see them laughing."
Qasim arrived in New York last
week. His one night in the big
city left him with little comment
except, "the buildings are huge,
of course."
Qasim's first impressions of Wil-
liamstown were favorable except
for the weather. "I like the trees; I
like to see it like a forest. It was
raining, though — I was surprised
for I had just left the sunny
beaches of Tripoli."
Dancing and Dating
"I like American dances. In fact
in Ti'ipoli I learned to dance your
rock-an-roU, cha-cha, and Charle-
ston. Dating in Libya is similar to
that in America. However, kissing
means something more pa.ssionate
in Libya." Qasim, like most Arabs,
follows the Moslem religion whose
sacred book, the "Koran", directs
their way of life. Although illegal
in America, bigamy is permitted
by the Koran, but the man must
be JUST to each of his wives.
Since it is practically impossible
to be ju.st to more than one wife,
bigamy is not encouraged.
Who invented the Dry Martini? jOHN did.
At least that is what people gasp when they
taste one of John's Martinis. John is the head
bartender at the Williams Club. Visit us. See
John. Try one. You'll see. And then, if you care,
you'll see other things. Fine food. Two dining
rooms — one dimly lit for men with ladies, and
one for men, period. Comfortable sleeping rooms.

Adelphic Union Has Panel Discussion Thurs.;
Schedules Panels And Debates This Year
A panel discussion on the subject, "So you've been to Europe",
was the featured event of the first meeting of tlie Adelphic Union
in tlie Rathskeller Thursday night. Frcshniau were invited to at-
tend and given information about joining the club.
The Union has a varied and informative schedule of other
exents lined up for tliis fall. On Oct. 2, in the RathskelliM- Prof.
Simpson of the Williams faculty will speak on the Middle East
Crisis. In the second week of Oc-
tober, on a date to be announced
a panel featuring Prof. Connelly,
Forbes Hill, Dean Cole and an-
other faculty member will discuss
the National Intercollegiate Topic :
"Should further development of
nuclear weapons be prohibited'?"
Other Debates
Other discussions and debates
ranging from the conduct of Am-
ei'ican tourists to the attributes
of a Prep school education will be
presented to the Williams student
body by the Adelphic Union,
As it appears at present, Dick
Contant, Harvey Carter, Andy
Umen, and George Green will be
the starting team when the Adel-
phic Union takes on its first var-
sity opponent.
AMT .
"Peter Pan" — the largest pro-
duction the AMT has ever at-
tempted—is scheduled for early
December. Including the original
music and stage effects, it will be
adapted to the tastes of a present-
day, adult audience.
Also scheduled are a freshman
revue, which will be produced by
Cap and Bells on October 31 and
November 1. One of the outstand-
ing attractions will be Racine's
"Britannicus" interpreted Novem-
ber 11 by a professional Fi'ench
tioupe. This production enjoyed a
six-month run in Paris last year.
"A religion attempts to an.swer
affirmatively the question of whe-
ther or not there is a realilj or
God to which we can commit our-
selves." De Boer thinks of God as
a reality or an "ultimate concrin"
which supplies men who are ((jin-
mitted to it with meaning, (luec-
tion and orientation for their
lives. "Bob Waite in speakin.; to
the freshmen the other day ,said
that to say .someone is an inti i|ec.
tual and that he is honest is a
redundant phrase because a,, in.
tellectual is honest by defin, ion
For me, the honest persoii. the
intellectual, must admit an ul-
timate concern."
Morality
DeBoer feels strongly
"one's commitment to a God
affect all of his experience: i
als, perspective, thinking an ^
approach to the big problem
humanity. But religion is not i
ality. Christian morality is i
series of do's and don't's, it
matter of why are these two
pie, for instance, engaging in
marital sexual relations and \
is happening to them as pr
because of it."

"If you say that fraternities and

say that the Church must tin If
the Church contains irrelevcncies

which all members of fraternities
paid. "As you can see if you at-

Tlie coimnittee suggests that if
ceiiain inomuers of the fraternity
do no. attend a houseparty, the
blanket tax should b-- billed to the
houti' and distributed among
tliosc attending houseparty func-
tions.
In addition, all students who
mi s more than one houseparty
beeause of a college activity are
entitled to a refund from the
Hou.separty Committee of $3.33.
The freshman expenditures last
yeai exceeded those of the frater-
nity men. They spent a total of
$21.10 for the three houseparties.
Under the new system the frosh
and fraternity men will pay the
same price.
Tliis new system, the Committee
asserts, will take all financial risk
and burden off the campus organ-
izatinn running houseparties. Last
ycai the houseparty debts to be
absorbed by SAC funds was $880.

night, Tom Piper '59, presented a
financial report of the 1958 Gul
which indicated that continued
subsidization by the CCP will ne
cessarily amount to a minimum of
$1100 per year.
An alternative proposal to in-
clude the yearbook in each stu-

Shun Fraternities
'Holiday' Writer Examines Fraternities;
Calls Purpose 'Relief From Tedium'
Are Fraternities Necessary'r" asks tlie title of Williams alumnus
Stephen Birmingham's latest scrutiny of college life lor Holiday
magazine. lie conchules that, thougli they may he ahsohitely es-
sential, they are nice because they
provide a "relief from the tedium
of college classrooms and study"
and a handy mechanism for con-
quering boredom.
Birmingham notes, however,
that fraternities do vary widely in
character and role in college life.
In describing this world of broth-
erhood, he introduces its unoffi-
cial opposite poles; the good boys
of Gettysburg and les enfants tcr-
riblcs of Dartmouth. "Fraternities
at Gettysburg seem to exist, essen-
tially, for the glory and better-
ment of fraternities at Gettysburg.
At Dartmouth, fraternities exist
for fun."
Rushing: Potato Chips and
Prayers
Rushing approaches differ at
the two schools. At Gettysburg,
this is an affair of almost religious
intensity, where a fre.shman says
earnestly: "I've been praying every
night that I'll make Phi Delta
Theta." Rushees are plied with
goodies and trips and treats to
show a man "how much we want
him." In the long hash sessions,
"each candidate is soberly ana-
lyzed as to clothes, handshake, ap-
pearance, high-school career," and
so on.
At Dartmouth, rushees wander
around lif they feel like it) to
casual small-talk get-togethers.
Later, in the hash session when
the house president shouts. "Who
met Joe?" someone may answer,
See Page 4, Col. 2
In an unprecedented show of in-
dependence thirty-nine "Wesleyan
fieshmen refused fraternity mem-
bership. Only 160 men were pled-
ged, the lowest number in Wesley-
an history.
The move was at least in part
due to the vigorous efforts on the
part of some upperclassmen. most
important of which was an Orien-
tation Week speech by John Berry,
a junior.
In addition, a group of approxi-
mately ten freshmen formed an
independent committee to attain
unity among those "uncertain"
about fraternities and to counter-
act the pressure of rushing.
Just how permanent the move
to independent .status actually will
be is a matter of some doubt. One
member of the freshman commit-'
tee, though "happy" that so many
freshmen had "enough courage"
to be independent, stated that he
thought most of the thirty-nine,
himself included, were only wait-
ing to see which house t^iey would
wish to join. " ■' : ' t -.rt

Some Rhymes
Some rhymes suggested by a recent article in the Weslet/an
Ar^ns which stated that thirty nine freshmen vohintarily stayed
out of fraternities in the fall rush in order "to thwart the overt
pressure which (they) felt is normally connected with joining a
fraternity:"
Where, O Williams, is thy superior might?
Van(|uislietl Wesleyan has seen the light.

Everybody's Porridge: II
The Rushing System
I have previously criticized one of Williams' most ornate
and complex sacred cows, the rushing system. This I do with the
full realization that it has been anything but neglected in campus
controversy. In fact, its constant subjection to review and revision
is rather beyond parallel in comparison to its dust-laden legal
compeers.
Perhaps this use, or abuse, as the case may be, is the major
cau.se of the system's failings. In jjart, this seems true. More of
purport is the method in revision.
And perhaps some of the failures are due merely to the ex-
istence of such a ponderous implement. For behind tlie laws lies
the morally honorable su)}))osition that everyone should have a
bid from a house, etc. We seem to overlook the plain truth that
fraternities are not the be-all or end-all of anything; that non-
affiliate life is ideally suited to a lot of people. The rushees have
not been sufficiently impressed with the stature a non-affiliate may
Williams fraternities are being asked to vote on a proposal
which, if passed, would comjiel allhut a small percentage of the
Williams student body to pay a blanket houseparties ta.\ of ten
dollars.
The proposal, submitted by several members of the student
body, is a suggested panacea for the deficits which so often plagui!
the three college lioliilays.
We strongly (juestion the wisdom of such a plan on these I
grounds:
1. It would not save most of the student body money and
would, ill most cases, increase the cost of the traditional Friday
and Saturday night entertainment. A large majority of the stu-
dents do not atti'nd every liouseparty weekend. Many do not at-
tend more than two and some do not |)artici])ate in any.
2. It would add an unfair and unneeded ta.x to your college
statement. Tlie Council Committee on Finance ALREADY taxes
every student over twelve dollars per year to cover deficits and
other exjjenses incurred bv stutlent managed activities. In recent
years the Student .*\cti\ities Tax has steadily increased. The cur-
rent pr<)])osal essentially will increase the SAC tax by ten dollars
laecause it jx'rinits any organization running the holiday to keep
any profit from the huge i)ndgets the plan seeks to guarantee.
3. Williams students should not be ta.xed for entertainment.
Fraternity members (roughly three-(|uarters of the student body)
in the past liaxe had the option of accepting or rejecting a blanket
house bill which gave members reduced jirices for all-college en-
tertainment. The iiew plan offers no option. Freshmen, whom tlie
plan would favor, should note that they sjiend one year in the
quad and three in a fraternity.
4. Giving those who run houseparties a guaranteed three or
four thousand dollar budget stunts initiative on their part. Many
students consider Williams houseparties to be on the wane. This
proposal, whicli removes financial pressure from the shoulders of
the organization running houseparties, would diminish their ef-
forts to iiromote the affair. Whv urge people to attend when diey
have already paid for it? The jiassage of this pro]50sal could do
more to destroy house)iarties than revive them.
5. Honsei^arties often suffer from mismanagement and ultra-
extravagance in arranging for bookings of name bands. Here lies
the core of the jDrohlem. "This bill can only promote complacency
and additional false economy. In essence, it amounts to a con-
cession to sl()|)py management, extravagance, and ))oor iMomotion.
Instead of seeking to cure the basic deficiency, the ])ioposal skirts
the issue.
For these reasons, we ask that everyone vote on the proposal
and cast a negative vote. A refusal to accept the plan means a
personal savings and could do more to revitalize houseparties
tlian the $10,000 the proposal seeks to compel the students to
donate.
and should have, that we must see that he does
have. In short— far too much emphasis has been
directed ii|ion the mere process of joining a fra-
ternity, and not enough on the far more imiKut-
aiit ([uestion of the individual's adaptability to
such a life.
And for the system itself: in criticizing the
method of revision, I moan two specifics. Ini-
tially, that addition is a dangerous tool; the
higher one builds a house of cards, the more
likely its fall— and (he same goes for a too-com-
plicated law. By upping fines, and by over-mech-
anization, we soke nothing. Tin's Icails nie to my
second point; that, while we rc-forniulate appli-
cation, we gi\e little attention to the veracity of
the concejits that ga\'e birth to them. It is in
this sense that the iiroblem ol justice conies in.
For instance, what is in essence wrong with a
package deal? The idea of friendship is the cor-
nerstone of the fraternity. Wouldn't a "iiackage"
of friends strengthen any house which they join-
ed?
Thus, 1 come to two suggestions: one, that
we review each point of the ap|)lications of the
law, to see if they cannot in some way be siin-
|)lified and made more liberal. The more inti-
mately a fraternity and a rushcc can discuss
their ideas and wishes, the better the chances of
a liapi^y outcome for both should be. And, as
we will recall, simplicity is nature's cardinal rule
for survival.

Purple Knights Return From Cape
PURPLE KNIGHTS
nine weeks at the Sea Gull
After a siiniinor on Cape Cod, tlio Purple Knights Quartet is
looking forward to a |)romising sciiool year. Led by pianist Tom
Hertel '59, the baud also features Bill Paul '60, buss; Al White '60,
alto sax, tenor sax, and flute; and
Dick Moore '60, drums.
Playing both dance music and
jazz, the Purple Knights will be
touring the college circuit this
winter. Other plans for the future
include a po.ssible trip to Europe
next summer.
During the past summer, the
band was booked for nine weeks
at the Sea Gull in West Falmouth.
They played dance music five
nights a week and gave a jazz
concert every Sunday evening.
Hertel noted that the group had
a chance to experiment and that
the improvement over the summer
was immense.
Although the band is forced by
popular demand to feature dance
i..usic, the members themselves
l.ke to play jazz. They prefer the
conicnporary school as opposed
to the traditional or Dixieland.
" . /e are trying to increase the
appreciation for contemporary
American jazz," said Hertel.
'Holiday' . . .
"Yeah, I met him. Nice guy. Owns
a convertible. Give him an A."
Ideals: Sic et Non
At Gettysburg, pledges paint
mailboxes and rest homes. On cer-
tain weeks vital questions are dis-
cussed: "Does etiquette change?
What are the responsibilities of a
chapter to its alumni? What
should we do with chaperons at
house parties? Will freshmen be-
come better Christians by joining
a fraternity?"
At Dartmouth: "We don't both-
er trying to build values or install
ideals . . . The college does that."
One house president said, "We've
got the Scholarsliip Trophy this
year, but we're trying to get rid of
It."
Mead Fund Sends Six
To Capitol for Summer
Six Williams seniors, recipients of Mead Fund loans, spent the
summer as volunteer workers in the nation's capitol.
Utilizing the $300 loans, the six, Mack ILissler, Warner Kim,
[aek 13etz, Dan Aaitnis, Jim Kayhill, and John Pliillips were em-
ployed by \ari()us t>ongressnieii, eongressional eoiiiinittees, and
^ovennneiital organizations
Work typifying that executed
by all six was done by Warner
Kim and Jonn Pnuhps. Kim per-
formed researca for the Subcom-
mittee on Consiitutional Rights
01 the Senate' Judiciary Commit-
tee.
He aided in the preparation of
a Senate document relating to
John Foster Dulles' passport re-
striction plan. Kim also worked
for a brief time with the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Phillips was employed by a gov-
ernmental agency that handles all
non-military foreign aid. He was
deployed in the Central Africa di-
vision of the agency.
Phillips work brought him into
contact with dealings with nations
south of the Sahara, countries
such as Ethiopia, Liberia and the
new Republic of Ghana.
Of the remaining four, Hassler
was associated with Representa-
tive William H. Ayres of Ohio and
the House Committee on Veteran's
Affairs. Betz was employed by Re-
presentative David Dennison (Wil-
liams '40) of Ohio.
Aarons worked for Senator Jo-
seph Clarke of Pennsylvania while
Rayhill aided Representative Wil-
liam R. Williams of New York.
The six were chosen last spring
by a special faculty committee on
the basis of their interest and
ability in the fields of politics and
social science.
Case Study . . .
. . . particularly for Jim Burns
whom I've known for many years
and Bob Kramer of whose child I
am a god parent — born on the
same day we got married." Every-
one smiled and applauded as Can-
didate Kennedy went on to talk
about helping chronically depres-
sed areajs and how everyone there
ought to get "those less interested
in government" to vote Democra-
tic.
On the way out, a Ti'anscript
reporter wondered if the Senator
would take a solid stand on inte-
gration. Kennedy became politely
annoyed and wished that people
would be well informed if they
wanted to discuss issues. He said
he would send the paper some ma-
terial on his civil rights position.
Other Stops
After walking amid much cheer-
ing in the big fall festival parade
at North Adams, Kennedy walked
among the crowd shaking hands.
He also had time to applaud the
last drum and bugle corps from
the reviewing stand before going
to the airport.
At the field, the Senator talked
individually with three or four lo-
cal candidates including Burns as
they stood in the parking lot. Then
he shook hands again with every-

Campus Split On
Houseparty Issue
In an inquiry made among the
slu;lent body concerning the new
pl, n for a blanket houseparty tax,
01 nion was found to be fairly
e\ t-nly divided on the issue.
The plan, which was presented
tc the College Council by Its
Houseparty Committee, consists
of a $10 tax to be paid by every
I'M oiled member of the college.
Its purpose would be to offset the
e>;iense of houseparties.
Voting:
When the tax plan comes up for
a ote among the student body. It
wil have to be passed by all fif-
tti n houses and a majority of the
fi' shman class. Provision has been
nvide in the plan for non-affiliate
adoption on an individual basis.
i^ecause of the fairly even split
>'i the pre-vote opinion, the
cliances are very good that the
plan will be defeated in at least
one fraternity. Rejection by one
house will mean rejection of the
plan by the college itself.
Supporters
Supporters of the plan seem, for
the most part, to be students who
are annoyed with the present sys-
tem of fund raising or students
who have participated in the or-
ganizational side of houseparties
over the last few years.
The principal reason given for
supporting the measure was the

Conte Against Barns
Williamstown is currentlv the local point of 0]ie of the nation's
hottest congres.sional campaigns. Professor jainc.s MacGregor Burns
has burst into the |X)litical arena as the Democratic candidate for
U. S. Rejirescntative from the 1st Congressional di.strict of Mass-
achusetts.
His op|)oneiit is a man with ei<4it vears' e\]H'riencc as a State
Senator from Pittsfield, Silvio O
Conte.
Candidate Conte spent Tuesday
evening in Williamstown, address-
ing a group of Williams boudents
and local young people who have
begun an energetic "Conte for
Congress" organization in the ar-
ea.
Operating under the auspices of
the Williams College Young Re-
publican Club, the new organiza-
tion plans extensive public rela-
tions and field work in the month
lemaining before election.
Experience
Accepting the support of the new
club, Conte said lie was "pleased
and happy to have interested
young people aiding him in the
effort to inform the electorate."
He reminded his listeners that
"there is no substitute for experi-
ence in politics" and pledged him-
self to campaign on the basis of
his record as a Senator in the
statehouse.
"As I look at it," commented the
Senator, "practical politics might
be compared to the game of base-
ball. If you hit, field and run well
in the triple-A minor leagues, you
get a chance in the majors. I
want that chance."
Coordinators of the campus
"Conte for Congress" organization
are Jim Robinson and John Phil-

country's leading researchers.
In 1955, Dr. Rabi was vice-pre-
sident of the first International
Conference On Peaceful Uses of
Atomic Energy and has just re
cently returned from the second
Conference in Geneva. Dr. Rabi
was also the American delegate to
the 1950 UNESCO conference in
Florence, Italy.
Born in Austria in 1898, Dr. Ra-
bi came to America as an infant.
He received his degree in Chemis-
try from Cornell University in
1919 and his doctorate from Col-
umbia in 1922. Dr. Rabi received
the Nobel Prize in 1944 and also
the French Legion of Honor.
James B. Fisk, 48, spent his
early years studying and teaching
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, University of North
Carolina, Trinity College in Eng-
land and Harvard University.
In 1939 he moved to industry,
becoming assistant director of e-
lectronic research engineering for
the Bell Telephone Laboratories.
In 1955 he became executive vice-
president, and, more recently, he
went to the disarmament confer-
ence of scientists at Geneva as
representative of the President's
Scientific Advisory Committee.
Professor George B. Kistiakow-
ski of Harvard emigrated to the
United States from Russia in 1926.
Previously he was educated at the
University of Berlin and the pub
lie schools of his native city of
Kiev. As a chemist, he made sig
nificant contributions in the de
velopment of the atomic bomb
and is currently an expert in rock-
et and missile fuels.
After the war, he received sev-
eral international medals for his
work in explosives and got an
honorary degree from Harvard.
Creativity In Science
On Tonight's Agenda
"Creativity" is the key word in
the title of tonight's colloquium
on "Creativity in Modern Science",
which will include three of the
United Stat?s' top scientists, Drs.
I idor Rabi, George Kistiakowski,
and James Pisk,
The visiting scientists will each
saesj in a short speech the op-
portunities for creativity in his
own field. Said panel moderator
Donald Richmond in a RECORD
interview yesterday: "It is our
aim to throw light on the pro-
esses of innovation in .science. In
this manner wc hope to propose to
Williams studenl.s that science is
indeed an exciting profession."
"The words imaginative and cre-
ative are as applicable to the sci-
ences as they are to literature and
the arts," continued Richmond.
"but for most students these qual-
ities seem to be lost in the maze
of technical mechanics which are
necessary in gaining a good foun-
dation in the -sciences,"
Importance of Science
"Modern science is a concern
to all of us. The very fact that
these men are on Ike's panel of
advisors demonstrates the import-
ance of science for the welfare of
each and every one of us," said
Richmond.
"Today there is a crisis in A-
merican education. We are in des-
perate need of more and more
trained scientists. The prospect of
creativity should draw more men
into scientific endeavor," Rich-
mond concluded.
Tonight's panel discussion will
be the first major event to be held
in the refurbished auditorium of
Jesup Hall, A panel discussion will
follow tlie speeches. At the con-
clusion of the panel discussion,
the floor will be open for ques-
tions.
Festivities Mark
Football Weekend
The season's first win or sec-
ond defeat will be celebrated at
various social gatherings in all of
the houses after the Colby game
tomorrow.
The Hi Pi's of North Adams
will provide music for a joint AD-
KA party at the KA house at a-
bout four o'clock. The Saints will
listen to Phinney's Favorite Five
at an afternoon dance and cock-
tail party at the DU house. Later
on, the Favorite Five will appear
for an after-dinner dance for the
Dekes and Phi Delts.
Theta Delt will have the Hi-
Liters of North Adams play for
them, and Beta Theta PI will also
have a band. There will be an
afternoon party at the Delta Phi
house, and most of the other
houses will serve cocktails right
after the game. In the evening,
there will also be dances at Phi
Gam and Psi U.
Kegs will be ceremoniously tap-
ped for "little blasts" at Chi Psi,
Phi Sig, Sig Phi. and Zeta Psi.
Meanwhile, back in the fresh
quad, all will be quiet, as the class
will be mixing at Smith.

OUR THANKS
Toiiii^ht ill |esu|) Hall Williams students
will have tlie opportuiiit)' to enjoy contact with
three of the t;ii'at scientiiie iiiinds ol' otu- time.
Harvard's Kistiakowski; an imjiortant contri-
bution to the develo|)nient of the atomic bomb.
Nobel Prize-wimier Rabi: one of America's
foremost .scientist-diplomats.
Bell Tek'phone Laboratory's Fisk: Re|)re-
sentati\i' of the President's Scientific Ad\isory
C^ouncil in Cenexa last summer, where talks witli
the Unssians laid the technological groundwork
for the suspension of nuclear tests.
It is eiiconraging, we feel, that these men
will talk in tonight's s\inposiuni on Crealivitti
in Modern Science.
.\merican concern over Russian scientific
advances has giscn too much emphasis, we feel,
to the need for .scientific technicians. Too much
techiiieal training could result in confinement of
America's long-run scientific develo|)meut.
We are glad, then, to see three men who have
worked in the Iroutiers of scientific research and
who haxc an important voice in the formulation
of America's scientific |5olicy— sound a needed
note for the "]orocesses of innoxation. "
Onr thanks goes to l^resident Ba.xter for
bringing these men to Williams. We strongly
hope students will take ad\antage of their pre-
sence.
OBVIOUSLY
A thorough and responsible iu(|uiry by the
CJollege Coimcil (committee on Finance has prob-
ed the reasons behind the $1600 yearbook debt.
Results have shown that for Williams to
have any yearbook at all in the f'litme, three al-
ternative plans could be adopted: Printing an
inferior yearbook; ta.xing all stiidents-whether
they buy the book or not-an amount which
would cover the debt; or |)nttiug the cost of the
book on everyone's college bill and providing
everyone with a book.
01)\iousIy we do not want to .see the dis-
appearance of the yearbook. And obviously the
third plan, an all-student ta,\, is the most sensi-
ble way to assure its continued existence.
We ho]w to see the quick adoption of this
plan— which, in fact, the CC]F recommended—
by the Council in its meeting this Monday.
Letters To The Editor
CLARIFICATION
To the RECORD:
In writing you this letter, 1 am trying to call
N'our attention to some jioints which were writ-
ten about and which appeared in the Williams
liFCORD on Seiitember 26. 1 would ajipreciate
it if you would allow me to clarify certain of
these ]5oints.
i. To your (piestion "Could die Arabs and
|( ws live togc'thcr harmoniously if the Arabs took
Palestine?" The article does not mention the con-
dition under which f gave that answer.
2. 1 did not intend to comment on Nas-
sci s inlluence in Jordan because, having been in
l.ibva tor two years, 1 am not in a jiosition to
comment. 1 simply answered your cjucstions and
dill not comment as the article implies.
3. I did not mean that the Palestinians like
Nasser sinijily because he fought once against
the Israelites. 1 statetl they like him because he
has not gi\en up the battle against Israel. They
also like Nasser because he is an Arab. 1 said
that 1 am sure Nasser is not a Communist, but
you omitted this, thus making it seem as if 1
implied that he is a Communist. The things which
are written about Nasser tend to indicate that 1
hati' him, but 1 do not hate anybody.
If you would like any other information a-
bont the .Arab customs, 1 shall be readv to help
von at any time if 1 can.

C>'onipulsory Cha|)el has been a whipping post for cai ipus
malcontents for (juitc; a while, now. In the past, their argun nts
have been mostly concerned with rather abstract principle: m-.
rently they are becoming plainly indignant, the principle i .\^^^,
being a jxitently dull sermon by Chajilain Oe IJoer. This ii;ii-.
ticnlar sermon was no worse than many others we have hciiuU
merely longer. Criticism of a particular instance, or of one hum-
De Boer in point — is not my aim, however. 1 hope that wc ,il|
soon realize that we have imtlerestimated the new Chaplain
seems to be a talented and dedicated man: and 1 ho|)c th.i
will realize his underestimation ol us.
For the purpose of this discussion, 1 will state that I
care about tlie otllics of Compnlsorv Chapel. These are impo
grounds for a subject with such a stridently di\'erse rant'
o|)inions attached to it.
I only wish to argue praeticalitv, as did Sluiw in the t|ui)i
above. Is Compulsory Chapel aetnallv doing anyone one in'
good— or is it a negative iufluence'r' It leads us to watei
are we actually drinking!'
First we consider the case ol the already religions boy,
asserts that Cha|)el is indeed a fine thing. It does him a h
good. He would go anyway. He doesn't need Compulsory Cli;i|
Secondly, the boy with little or no religious backginuud
and about the same inclination to religion, (ii'iierally, tlie Imy
in question shows httle interest in ChajK'l; he can be seen. ;:i a
corner or behind a pillar, fast asleep. He is a tiny ininoritN uid
tiie Chapel program is not designed for him. if he needs aiivtlimg,
it is something far more substantial than the CJollegc (Chapel
Third— the vast uiajority— the boy, with a lamily rcligiDiis
background, who is "ilrifting away from religion." He is the most
abused, for he is inisconstrued: he is not "drifting away" at ill.
He is going through a process ol maturation during which he iniist
examine, then accept or reject, religion for and by himself. I'lic
only shreds of formal religion he is likely to ictain will ])ri)liahlv
be in the sense of the family bond. His religion currentK is a
rather hectic exploration of all the dixi'rse phases ol li\iiii; that
he encounters. When be feels a need to go to church, he will i^o
to that one which is most like his laiiiil\ house ol worship; he
will do so of his own volition, and will find it a \astlv rewaidini;
experience for that reason alone. .And, in a large pioportion of
cases, that house of worship will not be the (!ollege (Chapel. There
are a gri'at many young men of Catholic, Jewish or other iiim-
Protestant backgrounds on campus who, while they feel unable
for one reason or another to attend their ancestral churches, are
fiaiikly alienated by C^bapel. R certainly ('. 'cs them no good. Nor
does it for the others; for before they find Religion, or need it at
all, they must explore the entire question ol religion alone iiid
at their own pace. They do not need a long ramble on PiehiTlirSkv;
they need only TIME. None of these |)eoi)le need Coinpiilsdrv
C;haijel.
Does Williams need it at all? (Jertainlv not!
ThiMi why not do something about it? Will you be tooK ol
misguided authority and anti(|uated tratlitiou fore\er?

Under football coach Bill Mc-
Henry, the Eph freshmen have
been working hard in preparation
for their initial contest at Ando-
ver, October 11.
Coach McHenry said that pros-
pects for the coming season are
fairly good, but noted that the
team may lack the depth they ex-
pected. "I'm encouraged by the
spirit we've shown, but we still
have a lot of work to do before
we'll be ready for Andover," he
said.
Bill Grinnell has looked very
good at quarterback while John
Newton, George Rogers, and Mike
Copewell are the leading candi-
dates for the halfback slots. At

TOM HEEKIN '59, who has
moved into a starting berth at left

Ihc Mules best lineman is their
right tackle. Sands Big, at 230
lbs., he has good mobility and is
last off the mark. In the center
of the line, Conners at 195 lbs.,
is fast and aggressive and will
probably be counted on for 60
niiniite service. Cavari, the I'ight
end is Brown's favorite target.
Seven out of 10 passes were aimed
at him in the Brandeis game. He
plays right halfback on defense
but moves up slowly which could
allow Dan Rorke some good
yardage around Williams left end,
utilizing his threat as a passer.
With only ten lettermen re-
turning Colby will be hard pressed
for replacements but will have at
least one solid performer at near-
ly every position.
Williams Line-up
For Williams this Saturday a
number of new faces will appear
in the starting lineup. Tlie most
radical shift will find Bob Hatcher
starting at fullback. At 195 lbs.
Hatcher should be able to deliver
the needed power at that position.
Tom Heekin will move into the
starting left tackle berth where
he will team with Co-captain Bill
Hedeman, Williams top lineman,
at right tackle. At left guard Jim
Richardson will resume his two
year role as a starter. Rich Ka-
gan, who along with Hedeman is
ineligible for away games, will
start at left end.

Prof. Simpson Talks
About Middle East
ill wlmt lie teniic'd a lii^lily opinionated and personally flav-
ored acconiit of "The Anieriean Preseiiee in the Middle East", Pro-
fessor Dwii;;ht Simpson ealled the Ameriean Middle Eastern pol-
icy "unenlij^hteiied and nnsneeessliil."
Professor Simpson lias just rctniiied after spendinj; a year in
|ordan niider a j^raiit from the I'ord Foundation.
Continimi.'im Not Main Threat
Our present Middle Ivisteni poliev, he said, is liased on the
assumption that (,'oinniuuisin is a major threat in that area.
'■Nothing could be farther fro.n
the truth," Simpson a.sserted.
For a while in 1955, after Nas-
ser's "deal" with the Russians, i!
seemed that much of the Middle
East was in danyer of oecoming rin
outpost of Communism. But with-
in the last year, Simpson said, Ar-
ab leaders have been becoming
more cautious and skillful in get-
ting favors from the Russians
without giving concessions. Am-
erican policy which is actually
nothing but anti-Communism is
therefore not right or wrong, but
just plain irrelevant.
Social Kevolutlon
A very general and profound so-
cial revolution is going on now and
has been going on for forty years
in the Middle East. The goal of
this revolution, said Simpson, is
cliange. The revolution will go on
until tlie bullc of the Middle Eas-
teni paople who sponsor the re-
volution feel that their goals have
been achieved. Basically, Simp-
son said, the goal of these people
is to bring the Arab worlti into
tlie twentieth century.
the events of the last year and
a half, as well as the personalities,
are symbols for this revolution.
Men like Nasser are not the cause
of trouble, but only symbols of the
great desire for change.

The Committee lias calculated
that it will cost a fraternity mem-
ber $4.()0 and a fresliman $11.10
less than last year. Various or-
ganizations on campus liave also
pointed to the increase in security
and simplicity for the group in
charge of a weekend.
Rejectors
Rejectors of the plan, on the
other hand, insist tliat there will
be no actual saving for the aver-
age student. The ten dollar charge
would entitle a person to attend
two college dances and one concert
if last year's system were con-
linued.
Many do not attend even this
.nany of the regularly scheduled
liouseparty events. Thus, the new
plan, if adopted, would benefit
only those attending at least three
such evtnts and would be express-
ly unfair Id students not wishing
to go to any college-sponsored
functions.

the committee which drew up the
plan. Other members include John

Career Weekend
Changes Planned
student opinion questionnaires
concerning the choice of panels t'J
be held Career Weekend, January
30-31, are in preparation and wiP
be distributed soon, according to
Bill Tuach '59, chairman of th •
student Career Weekend Commi:-
tee.
The purpo.se of this weekend is
to aid undergraduates in the se-
lection of a career by presenting
panel discussions of the most pop-
ular occupations, as indicated by
the results of the questionnaire.
Format Varied
Tuach and the student com-
mittee, Jim Rayhill '59, Bill Col-
lins '59. Bob Julius '60. Sandy
Smith '60, George Reath '61. and
Eric Widmer '61. tentatively plan
to vary the usual format of the
Friday night program, with only
one principal .speaker and a mock
job interview session conducted by
three recruiters.
Cooperation Urged
Director of Placement Manton
Copeland, Jr, '39, who is in charge
of the plans for Career Weekend,
urged full cooperation in filling
out the questionnaires in order
that the panels mcst desired by
the undergraduate body would be
on the program.
Prizes

the Kennetli L, Brown prize in

An overflow crowd of 400 in
Jesup Auditorium Fi-iday night
heard three distinctive scientific
minds assert positively that "the
most creative element in o'.'i- cul-
ture is science."
Panel moderator DonaM F.
Richmond. p:'ofessor of mathe;na-
tics, opened the discussion on
"Creativi;y in Modern Science" P.'
observing "our very survival as a
nation d:p:nds on our scicntif^L'
knowledge."
The discovery of the transistor
was used by Bell Laborato'.'.es'
Vice-President Ja)-nes B. Fisk. as
an example of creativity in sci-
ence.
General Needs
Fisk described the needs which
brought about t he inquiry as gen- ]
eral rather than specific. "The j
transistor was not the product of
a search to invent a transistor but
a consequence of an exploration
into the properties of solid mat-
ter."
"Science is the process of gath-
ering many known facts and fit-
ting them together at exactly the
right moment," he said. This fit-
ting into place ot the facts occurs
only in the most creative ot minds.
No formula exists for discovery,
Dr, George B, Kistiakowski,
distinguished creativity in science
from creativity in other fields,
"In painting and music to be
ci-eative is usually to be different,"
he said. But in science creativity
consists in fitting old knowledge
into new patterns.

Dan Rorke's toss to end Richie

scoring march of their own start-
ing on the Colby 29 yard lui..'.
Ephs Keep Lead
Mark Brown passed to Bob Burke
for the score but the try for the
extra point was no good and Wil-
liams kept the lead on the strength
of Rorke's rush on the PAT, which
\va.s good for two points.
Almost immediately Williams had
their back to their own goal line
as a fourtii down pass from center
sailed over Higgins head and gave
Colby a first and ten on the Wil-
liains one yard line. In four try.s
Colby failed to pe)ietrate the Wil-
liams defensive wall and a 60 yard

Higgins on first down got the Pur-

Three Top Scientists Call Science
'Most Creative Element Of Culture'
BELL'S JAMES FISK
the creative instant
"Freedom of spirit", Kistiakow-
ski said, "is essential to creativity
in science. Question your teacher
and textbook. You may not be
popular in class but you may be-
come a creative scientist."
Dr. Isidor Rabi, a large man
with an outstanding sense of hu-
mor and an ability to express
himself clearly, posed the central
problem for science today: How
can we make existing scientific
talent most effective for the fu-
ture?
Rabi said that the key to this
problem might be found by inves-
tigating the influences that
changed the emphasis from na-
tion-building to scientific creati-
vity and, in the light of this, the
trends in store for the future.
Glee Club Slates
Football Concerts
Two football weekend concerts
have been added to the Glee Club
schedule this year, according to
Dr. Victor Yellin, the new direc-
tor. The Glee Club will appear
with the college band at Home-
coming, Nov. 7. and with the A)n-
hersl Glee Club at Amherst, Nov.
15.
The American premiere of Chcr-
ubini's "Requiem Mass in D Mi-
nor for Male Voices or Orchestra"
will be another highlight of an ex-
panded program of nine Glee Cub
concerts.
Two performances of this woik
will be given: one with the com-
bined Harvard-Radcliffe orchestra
in Boston Dec. 5, and the second
in Williamstown one wee'tc later.
Other Dales
Other dates include two concerts
with both the Smith and Sarali
Lawrence Glee Clubs, two of them
at Williamstown. Thoe is also the
possibility of an appearance at St.
Thomas' Church in New York City
on Dec. 14.
The Glee Club's repertoire will
consist mostly ot classical selec-
tions. However, Dr, Yellin feels
that interest in the organization
will spread if some popular num-
bers are added to the program.

And that side of the haze."
Aiitmnn briiifrs out the drives in people that
have simmered in the summer's heat; the ket-
tle's lid lifts, and the steam rushes out in every
direction. In Williamstown, this release of en-
erf^y has brought us the presence of a bitter po-
litical nu'lee between tne Messrs. Conte and
Hums.
Unless we are deaf and dumb, the chances of
at least one heated controversy on the merits
and ilemerits of these two candidates fallinjf our
way are very j^ood. .\i\i\, unless our discussion
is a sadly inane one, the (luestion will soon come:
"What are the issues? Wliat do these men stand
for?"
In this question lies one of the most vital
points of democracy. A man who is running h)i-
an elected office must run on issues if the demo-
cratic system is to function projicrlv. .Monu; witii
this we must examine his rccoid; what issues
has he previously exposed? If we share tlu- ap-
parent t.'.ental vacuity of the normal .Xmerican
housewife, we will check to see if he has a nice
smik'. But most im|,ortant are the issues; "What
are yon u;oing to do: what do you believe in?", we
ask.
Burns and Conte are forced to these issues.
They encoimter jieople wlio feel they have a
stake in thinj^s, |K'oplc who want the best man.
Have we ever seen issues as a determinant
in the elections for offices in Williams' student
government— snp]5osedly a pocket edition of a
democracy?
No.
Well, wh\' not? We certainly can find e-
nougli things to yell about as soon as our offi-
cers, chosen in "the big jiersonahty poll", assume
the dubious grandeur of their offices.
if we will force oiu- nominees to run on is
sues, chances are we will avoid such unpopular
tlecisions as the l^M set vote and the All-College
inet'tint'. screann'ng farce that it was. We may
g(>t action on some of the things we want, such
as t!ie aljolition of compulsory chajiel, etc. I5nt
(/()(/ know what you want; this would be your
chance to find a man who will pledge his vote
and \()ice to i/otir side of current campus con-
troversies.
Then let's try something like this: move the
deadline for submission of nominations up a
week, lea\ing elections at the same time, and
create two open forums in that week's interim
where the nominees will speak, and then be open
to <|uesti()ns from the floor or other candidates.
We would end up with issues; and issues we
need.
I stated in niv opening article that "Every-
bodvs Porridge' was mtended |)rimarily to stir
peojjle on campus to come out with their own
opimons, I ha\e jieard many of them, jierson-
allv; I would like to see them, in writing, on the
RECOHlD's pages, whether vou agree or dis-
agree with me. James l^ussell Lowell said this
far better than I can:
". . . I honor the man tvlio is willing, to sink
Half liis present repute for the freedom to think.
And. H'hen he has tliow^ht, he his cause strong or
weak,
Will ri.^k f other half for the freedom to speak"

Letters To The Editor
FROM RANGOON
To the Editor:
Prior to this summer, I hail not the slightest idea of the liis-
toiy and scope of the Vacational Student Association, knowimr
only that Williams had chosen to join soinetiuie during my 1;,,(
semester, hacking knowli'dge, 1 was skeptical, even cynical. Hni^

Student lU'lations Seminar of the NS.A held at Harvard each sum-
mer. 1 was couv inceil by this person's enthusiasm to apply.
Representing over J iniilion students, NS.\ can, from a selfi !|

I threw my hat on the ofhee bed. My mouth felt like
it was full of sand. It was. I had just come from a
beach rumble. I buzzed my secretary, D(5sir(5e. She
slithered in, wiggling her typing fingers provocatively.
"C'mon," I said, "we're going to Louie's Club to
drink beer."
The waiter spilled my beer when he poured it. I got
him with a rabbit punch while he was still bending
over. Nobody spills my Schaefer. It's my kind of
beer. Real beer.
"You shouldn't have done that," D^sirfe said. I
stared at her. "Your shoelace is untied," I said. She
looked down and I caught her
high on the temple with a
good right hand. She slid un-
der the table, I drank my
Schaefer. Gold and white.
Wet. Delicious. I drank her
Schaefer, too.
I went over to the bar. '"What do experts mean when
they call Schaefer beer 'round'?" I said to the bar-
tender. He hesitated. I shot him. "They mean a
smooth harmony of flavors. No rough edges," I said.
I don't think he heard me.
I walked out into the night. Stars overhead. Down
the street, a Schaefer billboard. Well, that's how life
IS, I thought, turning up my raincoat collar. Tough.
It would be even tougher without Schaefer.

Cigarette Conformity
News Notes
By Uldis Heistrij
Cigarettes this week join the list
of conti'over.sies iiivenied by uie
RECORD staff in its never endiny:
crusade to liuve a new light Ijulb
installed by Chapiii Hall.
A report compiled by a joint
committee of one indicates tliat
the thing to do in cigarettes is to
smoke Kents or Marlboros. Kents'
slight lead is twphuned by the fact
that tatoos have u.;t yet been en-
dorsed by Brooks Brothers. Next
in popularity are Prul Malls and
Luckies. L&M's and Che.-i.evfields
are also acceptable.
Big Six Brotherlioocl
These six brands provide the
Ephmen with a well rounded
choice. The average individual is,
sure to find something pleasurable
and advantageous in one oi t'!tm.
Unfortunately, the report further
indicates that there are .some in-
dividuals who refuse to join the
"Big Six Brotherhood" and insist
on using passe cancer sticks.
Selectivity
This adhorrable revelation reek;;
of discrimination, complacency,
non-conformity and illiteracy. Tire
institution of smoking at Williams
obviously suffers as long as such
dissent continues. While this may
seem unfair to the individual
whose principles forbid him to in-
dulge in om of the big six, for-
tunately he is in the minority. If
he cannot compromise with Wil-
liams traditions, he should not
iiave come h;:re. Although he may
f.nd the big six smoke unpleasur-
able, he should improve it from
the inside instead of switching
brands.

suiiplement to tlie organization's
fresiiman orientation-week panel.
Entitled "How to Get an A witii
out Studying," the first of the for-
ums took place last week with fif-
ty freshmen attending. Professor
Robert Gaudino and Gary Hig-
gins '59 were on the panel.
Today's forum is on tire topic
"All Round Guy — Why?" with
Chaplin Lawrence DeBoer and
Jerry Rardin giving the informal
talks. The final forum, "Dating
Dilemma" will feature talks by
Dean of Fresiiman William Colo
and Katharine Durant, a Benn-
ington senior. Don Campbell, ori-
ginator of the forums, has urged
all freshmen to attend the last
session.

Among the principle adjustments
made, Rabi cited the appointment
of MIT's President Killian as sci-
entific advisor to President Eisen-

tions for .scientific research.
'Great Competition'
"We are in a great competition
with the 'New Nations'," he con-
tinued. "If we maintain our pre-
sent pace we will certainly be sur-
passed in the fairly near future,
at least by Russia. Americans seem
to feel that what we can't accom-
plish by brains and hard work, we
can accomplish by inflation. But
it takes hard work and it takes
brains. We must begin now to
work hard and develop our
brains," he concluded.

cooperated so far in securing their
preliminary interviews.
THEFT? — The "Amherst Stu-
dent" says President Clrarles Cole
spoke to the House Management
Committee (inter-fraternity coun-
cil i the other day. "It's about the
fact that there are 125 fewer destcs
in our fraternities than there are
men living in the houses."

production of "Under Milk Wood",
the second production of this sea-
son, has been cast.
FOREIGN STUDENTS: A re-
ception for the 14 foreign students
at Williams will be open to stu-
dents and faculty tonight at 7:30
in the Rathskeller of Baxter Hall.
In a discus.sion panel, the stu-
dents are expected to talk about
their impressions of the United
States and how those ideas may
differ from what they expected to
find here.
Brooks OhseYv^%
Economic Trends
Dean Robert R. R. Brooks cov-
ered over 40,000 miles across Can-
ada, the United States, Mexico
and Central America last summer
Most of the trip was madi' by
station wagon; however, many
miles were al.so traveled by plane
train, ship, and jeep, not to nirn-
tion horse and mule.
The purpose of the trip, accci d-
ing to Brooks, was to study ihc
progress of economic develop;! i 'nt
and to observe first-hand ihc
birds, animals, flowers, and pwiuic
in the countries visited. Ainuie
time was also allotted to con rr-
vation, anthropology, and aiTu'-
ology.
Brooks began his tour in .June
of 1957, heading northward to
Canada. He then retraced his stiijs
through Williamstown and visaed
several Southern states befoic
crassing the border into Mexir;).
Next on the itinerary was Centinl
America and then back to I u.s
country by way of the wes;(rn
states. Brooks arrived in Williain.s-
town last July. He was accomr-
anied on his trip by his wife.

House Treasurers
Study Expenditures
In an effort to case some of the financial strain in tlie carnpns
fiiiMiiities, the newly-invigorated Treasurers' coinicil, headed l)v
Jo! II, Phillips '59, is inakin)^ a study of their operational costs.
At the re(iuest of the Social Council the house treasurers will
e,\;. nine the over-all )5icture of thi' fraternity's financial ojjcrations
^, - ■ ■ •• -
,r first concern will be the fra-
ternities' use of the Williams com-
missary.
The houses buy food from a
ceiiUal buying agent, the Student
Union. The Council plans to show
the fraternities how to use this
set-up to the best advantage and
produce conclusions which will aid
the houses in running their kit-
chens in a business-like fashion.
Council's Aim
The fraternity system," Phil-
lip.s noted, "is mpst liable to cri-
tii ism in its financial practices
For this reason, and because of the
r sing costs in every department,
the Treasurers' Council after its
study expects to be able to aid the
houses in budgeting their expen-
ses.
"In this aim, the Treasurers'
Council hopes to contribute to sta-
bility in the fraternity system by
encouraging efficiency in the fi-
nancial activities of each house
in.sofar as stipulations of each na-
tional fraternity allow."
Fraternity Reports
The Council is using financial
reports from the fraternities as
tlie basis for its study. Eleven of
the fraternities have submitted
such reports. Although some pre-
liminary work was done over the
.summer, the Council will begin of-
ficial study this week when all fif-
teen reports will be in its hands.
Flying Club Show
Set For Sunday
To start a year of increased ac-
tivity, the Williams Plying Club is
partially sponsoring a four hour
:i'r show Sunday at the North
Adams Airport.
John M. Greer '59, president of
'^le club, said "With good weather,
v.e expect maybe 3000 people."
Mudents Larry Pond '59, and
lony Harwood '59, will parachute
m the exhibition as will national
1 1 lampion Jack Rose of Amherst.
Plane Improvements
At a cost of $1000, a new en-
■ine and radio equipment are be-
ing Installed In the Club plane
which is owned by the members.
Oreer reports that there may be
as many as ten new members of
the group this year. He noted that
the club is the most inexpensive
means for an undergraduate to
learn to fly or to get experience
in flying.
Last year, the members worked
closely with the Civil Air Patrol
unit at North Adams, cooperating
in several searches for planes
wrecked in the area. They also
work with the Parachute Club as
pilots.
Chest Fund Sets
Goal Oi moo
The 1958-59 Williams Chest
Fund Drive is now in progress,
running until next Tuesday, Oct.
14. The goal set by the Board of
the WCC, which sponsors the
drive, is $6000 or about six dol-
lars per student.
The results of this year's revi-
sion of the Chest Fund budget
left the Williamstown Boys' Club
as chief beneficiary, being allocat-
ed $2200. This sum along with an
amount given by the Williams-
town Welfare is their sole means
of support. The World University
Service, which is supported by si-
milar college and prep school
chest funds, will receive $1500.
Chairman of the drive is Jim
Hartley '60. Shell Parker '60, and
Tom Wise '61, are serving as
treasurer and publicity manager,
respectively. A solicitor has been
appointed for each social unit.
CC Gttl Plan
The proposal to include the
yearbook on the college bill of
each .student will reach a vote
in the College Council this
coming Monday night. The vote
has been postponed two weeks
in order to allow each member
time to gauge student opinion
and form his decision thought-
fully on this controversial is-
sue.
For several years the "Gul-
ielmcnsian" lias found itself in
financial trouble, and a recent
report from the Finance Com-
mittee of the Council found
that it could not retain its
quality and remain functional
without some help from the col-
lege. Since any subsidization
would be equally divided among
all the students, the committee
recommended that each stu-
dent pay for and receive a book.
Under present conditions, the
cost to each student will be
$6.04.
The CC has urged all stu-
dents to express their wishes to
their representative, and has
emphasized that the meeting
Monday night is open to the
public.
Saturday Features KA
Anniversary, Reunions
In accordance with a three-year-old custom, a larijc ^roup of
alumni will natli 'r in Willianistown this weekend for the Middle-
bury Kamc. Eight classes: 1910, 1915, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1921, 1927
and 1931 are holding leunions.
Nearly three Imndred alumni of Ka]ipa Aljiha at Williams

The weekend's program is under
the direction of Talcott M. Banks,

formal dance under a marquee on

Composer Barrow Solos In Own
Suite For Organ And Orchestra
The world premiere of Professor
Robert G. Barrow's composition.
"Suite Concertante" will be the
feature work in Friday night's
concert of the Berkshire Quinde-
cium. in Chapin Hall.
"Suite Concertante", a compo-
sition for organ and strings, is
modeled on the Baroque concerto.
Although its melodic and harmo-
nic idioms are distinctly modern,
it uses modern adaptations of old
dance forms and utilizes the con-
trast in tone color between the
organ and the small orchestra.
Barrow, head of the music de-
partment, will appear as soloist in
this performance. His suite was
composed during one month of
the summer of 1958. It will be pre-
sented again this spring, when
Barrow will make a solo appear-
ance with the Albany Symphony
orchestra.
Mozart, Vivaldi
Also on the first half of the
program will be two Baroque com-
positions: Antonio Vivaldi's Con-
certo Grosso in D minor and the
Brandenburg concerto No. 3 by
J. S. Bach. Both works are typical
of their composers' mature style.
The combination of these two
compositions will demonstrate the
tremendous influence that Vivaldi
exerted on Bach.
The second half of the concert
includes works by Mozart: three
sonatas for organ and strings, a-
Purple Cow Disbands;
Editor Cites Finances
Bij Ted Ca.vllc
The editors ol the "Purple Cow" aiinounci'd Wednesday that
the humor magazine will not be published this year.
P. .Anionic I3istler. '59, editor, attributed the third collapse of
the magazine since the war mainly
to the "fact that we lost two large
national advertising accounts and
the unwillingness of Spring Street
merchants to support us regular-
ly." Distler also mentioned the
"preponderance of apathy in cri-
ticism and participation in the
magazine."
The decision to di.sband the or-
ganization "although we might
have been able to publish two is-
sues" was made by Distler, E. J.
Johnson '59, literary editor with
business managers Harvey Brick-
ley '60, and Peter Berkley '60. The
editors considered various means
of keeping up publication but they
felt they should not risk present
funds in a last ditch stand to keep
the magazine alive.
"I am sorry to see it go," said
Johnson who with Distler edited
the "Cow" for two years after its
rejuvenation three years ago. "It
was the last outlet for any sort
of creative effort except possibly
social criticism."
Clearly, the financial situation
of the "Cow" was the immediate
reason. The staff, however, found
an outstanding lack of interest in
writing for the magazine. They
had no interested cartoonists,
rhey naa lew interested readers.
Johnson put it this way, "Four
times a year you put out a maga-
zine that nobody wants."
"We wanted to keep it strictly
original," Distler said, "and per-
haps wrongly refused to reprint
material from other colleges. We
tried pure humor, satire and seri-
ous short stories , . . The attitude
at Williams has changed. People
are not 'gung-ho' enough to sup-
port a college humor magazine or
a literary publication. The REC-
ORD has a specific function; the
'Cow' does not."

modern versions, old forms
gain with Barrow as soloist, and
the "Serenata Nocturno in D ma-
jor." This last composition is scor-
ed for an unusual combination of
double string orchestra and tim-
pani, resulting in dramatic con-
trasts hardly thought of in Mo-
zart's time.
This concert will be the second
appearance of the Quindecium,
which made its debut in Lawrence

Quindecium, essentially a small

founder of the organization, Tho-
mas Griswold of the music depart-
ment.
New Reunion Tradition
In past years, especially in the
years immediately following the
war. a Mid-Winter Homecoming
for all alumni was held. This
weekend featured panels and col-
loquiums on current topics, but the
response was meager. Informal fall
gatherings sponsored by the
individual classes are now the
mode for reunions during the
school year. Houseparty Weekend,
October 25th, will be the date for
the Class of 1923 to hold its gath-
ering.
Alumni Fund Drive
The 1958-59 Alumni Fund cam-
paign began last weekend at a
meeting of class agents in Wil-
liamstown. The drive is under the
chairman.ship of Stanley Phillips
'17. This year's goal is $275,000
which represents an increase of
$50,000 over last year's aim. The
jump was in part made due to the
fact that the 1957-58 Fund Cam-
paign raised $238,000. In the past
ten years the Alumni Fund has in-
creased nearly 400 per cent from
$56,000.
Sources of the Alumni Fund
contributions outlined by Charles
B. Hall, Secretary of the Society
of the Alumni include parents,
alumni and corporations. The mo-
ney raised is turned over directly
to the college treasurer, Charles
B. Foehl, Jr. for use as college
income. Last year the money was
used mainly to increase teacher
salaries.
The Alumni Fund is separate
from those gifts which the college
receives as additions to its en-
dowment.
Library To Hold
Rare Book Show
"Collector's Choice," a special
exhibition of rare books, engrav-
ings, manuscripts, prints and au-
tographed letters opens at 4 o'clock
today in Chapin Library.
Items in the exhibition have
come from the collections of two
students, members of the faculty,
and over fifty alumni, 1898-1958.
The two student contributors are
David Laing '59, and David Wright
'60.
Guest Speaker
Guest speaker for the opening
ceremonies today is Mr. William
A. Jackson '27, distinguished li-
brarian at the Houghton Library
at Harvard University. His topic
will be "Book Collecting Today."
The talk will be followed by a
reception In Chapin Library. Stu-
dents, faculty and the general
public are invited to attend.
Stimulate Interest
H. Richard Archer, Chapin Li-
brary Custodian, said he hopes the
exhibition will stimulate interest
in collecting books. He noted that
a large percentage of Williams a-
lumni and some important men
do collect books.
Tlie exhibition is scheduled to
close November 15.
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOIJl!: K 10, 1958
Here We Go 'round...
To (late tlircc of tlic soplioinoit-.s who sought bids from lia
ternitifs cliiiiiif^ nishiiif^ this fall have rirfi\t'cl iioiii'.
This is imfoitiniati", for Wilhams is too often consiclorccl by
those who know it thstaiitly a "rich man's scliool dominated by
fiaternities." Tliis is deeidediv a false impression, thanks both to
the eollei^e's far-reaebini^ admissions |)oliey and its liij^h academic
standards.
Yet the source of this false imjjression, we feel, is the prob-
lem of selecti\ity and fraternities.
Now selectivity in all phases of life is almost inevitable. Yet
the special problems which arise from jralvrnUij selectivity—
these i^roblems can be soKcd if all stndents are ^iw'n the oppor-
timity to join a fraternit\'. If this opporlnnitv existed, selecti\ itv
would still opc'rate, but it would not in\ite so much criticism,
discomfort and complaint. If it existed permanently at Williams,
the special fraternits-scleclixitv problem here could be solved; the
false "licli-Mian s-school" impressions would tend to dissipate; and
Williams and its frateinitics would find ;in e\'en more meaninjiilul
place in twentieth-centurv education.
Last \'ear the opiiortuuitv for e\ery sophomore to join a
house did exist. So far this \ear it does not. Total opportunity was
not achieved by this time last year, but a considi'rable amount ol
student leadership was enerj^etically pushiuff for it from the nio-
iiieut rusliint!; ended. This vear we ha\e noticed no such student
leadershi|). .\utl we feel that both college and its fraternities are
losing out.
Now last N'car the term "total op|iortunity" ac(|uired a mys-
tique which has made many— and somewhat rii^htly- suspicious of
its true \ alue. These sceptics ha\e a \ alid point, for "T. O." is not
a panacea. The situation of total student inciidwrnhip in frater-
nities is not a healthy one. ["or many stndents who join fraterni-
ties liecanse there is no attracti\e alternati\e do not truly enjoy
fraternity life. Total opportum'tv tends toward total membership,
and the attracti\c alternati\c of ;i si/able non-affiliate group tends
to disappear.
The ideal, of course, would be the extension of fraternit\' bids
to all sophomores, and the refusal of these bids b\' about one-
tln'rd of the class. In this ideal situation, Uiere would be no fia-
ternity-selecti\ itv problems, and the society would he healthier
as well. Yet this is an ideal, and to reach it would re((uire much
time and a wides|)read re\ ision of modes of thought.
flight now, if student leadeishi|) is willing to do it, we can
at least go half-way: we can at least soKe the frateinitv-seleetixity
|)rol)lem b\' gi\ing permanence to total opportunity.
THE COW IS DEAD!
LONG LIVE THE COW!
In a KEC-'OHD iutci\iew the editors of the now-defmict
Purple Cow asked: "Does Williams stifle the creative urge of the
students?"
C-ertaiuly as the <|nestion is worded the answer must he "no."
\Vhate\c'r the "creative urge" may be, we have all seen manifes-
tations of it at Williams. Students wra|5])ed up in a honors thesis
or a term pajier, jiep-rallv jiosters, and eyen our social antics
boast a certain creati\ ity. In fact even the most inactive and im-
interestirig with all his myriad a])athies must show a certain im-
agination to continue li\ing in our age.
I5ut we feel that creati\itv is best nurtured and manilested
in some diseiplini', some lorm. .\nd at Williams the age-old form
of literary publication seems to be tailing. .A year ago "Comment"
—a literary magazine— published its last. "Referendum" was short-
lived last sjiring. .\nd now the "Purple Cow" is defunct. Exen the
cjiiasi-litcrary yearbook has long been in financial trouble.
,\s one of the remaining publications, we suspect that the in-
terest in the kind of cieati\ity demanded by a literary or humor
maga/ine exists. We regret the |)assing of the "Cow" and we look
to the luture lor thi' kind of creativity which it lacked to be
brought out of the shadows, encouraged and again given the dis-
cipline of the printed |)age.
Reflections On USSR
Bi/ Sicocn Ross ".59
Editors A'otr: Ross spent his siimiiirr vacation Iravclinii a-
hroad. His itiucnin/ included the I'SSR.
The two most common (piestions |5eople ask when they dis-
cover 1 have been to the Soviet Union are "How much did you
see?" and "How was it?" Since the first question is the easier 1
will start with that one.
I went on a tour through the Soviet Union stopping at Len-
ingrad, Kie\' Rostov, Stalingrad, and Moscow. The tour, run hv
Intomist (the Soviet tomist hmeau), snp]ih'ed one with food,
transportation, and Iviglish speaking guides. In our group there
were two guides for about thirty of us; there are smaller groups
and if one has the money to s|K'nd, he can have a private car and
gnide all to himself. From this it seems as if the tourist is watched
and controlled all the time, but this is not so.
.Ml one has to do is arrive in and leave the city
with tlu' grou|5. If he so desires, he can do what-
e\'er he likes and go where\cr he pleases within
the city he is visiting. .\Io.st of the time I never
stayed with the group and just wandered about.
Of course there are |)laces iu the USSR which
are closed to all toinists, but there are also re-
stricted areas in the USA.
The second (piestion is difficult if not im-
))ossible to answer. I am no expi'it on Soviet af-
fairs and I will therefore restrict myself to a
series of personal observations. The Russian
jioople are \'erv friendly and the stories we hear
about them being afraid to speak to foreigners
;ire simply not true. Fverywhere i went |)eople
were anxious to S|)eak to me and ask (|uestions.
nidike CJunther, I was not unduly plagued with
(pu'stions about what this oi- that article cost.
The people ai'e also (|in'te generous :md 1 amass-
ed a large collection of hooks, badges, hats, and
free drinks. As far as 1 could see, the average
citizen is content with the goverumi'iital re-
gime and internal collapsi' is out of the (jues-
tion. The food sho]5s are full and clothing is
l^lentifnl although not in the least bit stylish.
.Ml the people are afraid of war and are con-
\ineed that the United States wants one. I was
in RostoN' during the Lebanon crisis and every-
one I s|5oke to was sure that the US govern-
ment was trying to start a war. Tliey appeared
appalled at the prospect.
Inefficient
.Another thing I noticed about the USSR
is that it is not the marvel of efficiency that one
usually associates with the nation diat put up
s|5utnik. One time several of us wanted a visa
extension. We were told to go to the State Bank
and get vouchers. We went to the hank and
asked where to get the vouchers. A door was

Ever meet a Doubting Thomas ?
A college senior once remarked to a Bell System inter-
viewer: "A telephone career must be a mirage. I liear talk
about fabulous training, fascinating work, grade-A job se-
curity, and rapid advancement in management. Sounds a
bit too rosy. What's the real story?"
The interviewer knew mere talk wouldn't sell a skei)tic.
So he showed him some "profiles" of recent college graduates
who had enjoyed that fabulous training, had worked at
intriguing jobs, and had won early management promotions.
Our once-skeptical friend has been with the Bell System
3 years now— and is currently supervising the work of 55
people.
We've converted a host of Doubting Thomases. Whether
doubtful or not, you'll learn a lot about rewarding telephone
careers by talking with the Bell System interviewer when he
visits your campus. Also read the Bell Telephone booklet on

Varsity Soccer Opens Season With 2-0 Win;
Barmg-Gould, Bawden Score Over UMass
The Williams varsity soccer
team opened up its 1958 season
with a decisive 2-0 win over the
University of Massachusetts. Out-
running the Redmen to the ball
the Ephmen's more aggrL-ssive
game made it a lopsided contest.
Bawden Opens Scoring
The first .score came in the sec-
ond period when Kern Bawdcii
pounded a penalty shot past the
UMass goalie. The free kick came
after a UMa.ss fullback fell on a
bounding ball which otherwise
would have gone into the goal.
The offense in the first half was
predominantly with William.s as
Eph goalie Bee DeMallie failed to
touch the ball during the wliolc
first period.
UMass returned stronger in the
second half and the Red goalie

played an outstanding game a-
gainst recurrent Williams fast
breaks. The second score for Wil-
liams came in the third period off
the foot of co-captain Mike Bar-
ing-Gould.
The halfback line of Coach Clar-
ence Chaffee was a major factor
in the Eph win with Tom Tierney
leading the way. Left half Ben
Field, playing his first varsity
game, has overcome recurrent in-
juries to be one of the top pros-
pects of the year.
Other Sophomores
Other Sophomores playing for
the first time in varsity competi-
tion were Fred Briller and Wiffy

the center slot, Pete Stanton at
left wing and Tom Fox at left
fullback.

Purple Faces Middlehury Saturday;
Panthers Have Good Ground Attach
111 (iiii'st of its secoiiil will tliis season the \arsity football
team will host the Mickllehiirv' Panthers Saturday on Weston
Field. Middlehury will enter the contest undefeated, lioldinj^
vietories over Weslevaii and Worcester Polytech.
Like Colby, Williams' opponent last week, the Mitldlebury
team boasts an e.\])erieiiced j^roiip of letteriiieii in most of the
startiiij^ positions, but is weak on the bench. The panthers run
out of a standard sin^le-wiii^ offense with senior Dick .■\tkinson
(3.5) their 20.5 lb. fullback the bii^ iiiaii in their j^round attack.
The visitors will be minus the services of tailback Pete .Mdrich,
the key in a sintfle-win^ offense, as he suffered a broken wrist last
week which will eliminate him for the season. Foraii (18) filled
in for Aldrich and will in all prob-
ability start at tailback. He is fast
and an excellent defensive man,
playing in the safety position.
Atkinson a Threat
Atkinson, who rolled off scoring
jaunts of 60 and 65 yards last year
against Williams, will do the car-
rying up the middle while Dave
Barenborg will po.se the outside
threat from the wingback spot.
Completing the backfield quartet
is John Mentor i44) a better than
average blocking back, who does
the ball handling on the buck la-
teral series.
Although Middlehury does throw
occasionally. Williams big prob-
lem will be to stop Atkinson up the
middle, and slanting off the short
side. Stu Wallace will be backing
up the strong side for the Purple
and by holding Atkinson to less
than his 5 yards per carry aver-
age could effectively bottle up the
Middlehury offensive.
Eph Casualties
At quarterback this week for
Williams will most likely be Jim
Briggs, who operated effectively
against Colby after Gary Higgins
was injured. Unless Higgins' char-
ley horse responds to treatment by
Saturday, he may sit out the con-
test entirely. Other Williams cas-
ualties are halfback Tom Christo-
pher who will be replaced in the
second unit by soph Walt Walker
and halfback Dan Rorke whose
bad ankle will force him to re-
linquish his starting role to sopho-
more Eric Widmer. Bob Stegeman
will be at fullback and the line
will start essentially as it did a-
gainst Colby.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1958
Foreign Students Give
Wide-Ranging Opinions
By Ken Clements
Williams' foreign students save
their opinions on si wide variety of
subjects ranging from social cus-
toms and clothes to eduction and
politics in a Rathskeller discussion
Wednesday evening.
Warner Kim, from Korea, com-
menting on a question as to whe-
ther he felt that he was becoming
overly "Americanized," said thai
"I wear button-down collars but
I still feel a little pride whenever
I hear that Dulles is 'chickening
out' from something Mao says."
Kim feels there is a rather strong
anti-American feeling throughout
Asia and the Middle East.
In this opinion he was stronsly
seconded by Juno Furukawa from
Japan and Abdul Wohabi horn
North Adams Project
To End By January
Construction of two new bridges
oh Highway 2, west of North Ad-
ams, is scheduled for completion
by January, according to the
North Adams' Department of Pub-
lic Works.
The two bridges are part of the
22 million dollar flood control sys-
tem, presently under construction
in the North Adams area. The old
bridges are being replaced by the
new higher and wider bridges be-
cause of the safety factor involv-
ed.
The westernmost bridge. Grey-
lock, should be completed by
Thanksgiving, while the other
bridge should be finished by Jan-
uary. The cost of the prnlpot is
being shared by the state and fed-
eral governments.

at the foot of Spring St.
Arabia. Furukawa commented that
public opinion in Japan, contrary
to American belief, is anti-Ameri-
can. He feels that most of the
post-war reorganization of Japan-
ese government has been a failure
as far as making Japan pro-West-
ern. Wohabi commented that the
American intervention in Lebanon
has considerably worsened the Ar-
ab attitude toward America.
In a discussion of American col-
leges, most of the foreign students
felt that Williams was at least as
good as European universities, but
in a different way. English col-
leges, as Peter Percival and Colin
Byford pointed out, begin the
student's specialization as soon as
he enters college, giving him ex-
pert knowledge in his field but
very little broad general know-
ledge.
Alberto Passigli of Italy and
Guide Schilling of Switzerland
added that European universities
do not require attendance and do
not have the close personal con-
tacts with professors that char-
acterize Williams. Nor is there a
time-limit set on attendance at
a European university; students
are perfectly free to attend just
as long as their money holds out,
attending classes and taking ex-
ams when they like.
Americans, the students felt, do
not get as good a preparation in
their high schools as students do
elsewhere, but seem able to make
up the gap in college.
New Phi Betes Name
Betz, Crews Officers
The Williams chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa held its annual ini-
tiation in Mather House with six-
teen seniors taking the oath on
Monday, September 29.
Consisting of the sixteen ini-
tiates and Lou Lustenberger '59,
the active chapter has chosen
Jack Betz and Dick Crews, as its
president and secretary, respec-
tively.
Plans
The Phi Betes announced they
are seriously investigating the pos-
sibility of exchanging lecturers
with other colleges for short peri-
ods of time as well as having out-
side examiners aid the faculty in
making up examinations.
They explain the purpose of
these two plans as an aid to broad-
ening the perspective of a Wil-
liams Education.
They also plan to maintain the
"Ideas, Books and Men" colloqui-
ums throughout the year and to
hold five dinner meetings.

this: Does Williams tend to stifle

Hut I digress. Let us resume our tour. At the end of The
Mall we s(K' a lianclsonie edifice called The Library. Here books
are ke|)t. By "kejjt" I mean "kept." There is no way in the
world for you to get a book out of the library . . . No, I'm
wrong. If you have a stack permit you can take out a book,
but stack permits arc issued only to widows of Presidents of the
I'nited States. (That lady you see coming out of the library
with a copy of (lid of the lAiiikiiost is .Mrs. Millard Fillmore.)
Next to The Library we see the Administration Building.
Here one finds the president of the university, the deans, and
the registrar. According to ancient academic u.sagc, the president
is always called "Proxy." Similarly, the deans are called "Dixie"
and the registrar is called "Bovy." Professors are called "Proxy"
and housemothers are called "Iloxy-Mo.xy." Students are
called "Algae."
Diagonidly across The Mall we see the Students Union. It is
a gay mad place, frankly dedicated to the fun and relaxation
of we undergraduates. Here wo undergraduates may enjoy
ourselves in one of two ways-with filter or without. We under-
graduates who i)refer filters, prefer Marlhoro, of ciairse. Oh,
what a jjiece of work is Marlhoro! The filter filters, the taste is
smooth hut not skimjiy, mild hut not meagre.
We undergraduates who prefer non-filters, prefer Philip
Morris, of corris. It is a natural smoke, a clean smoke, a flavor-
ful, zestful, pure and peaceful smoke . . . Now hear this: Philip
Morris and Marlboro each come in a choice of two packs—
crushproof Flip-Top Box or the familiar Soft Pack.
So now, as the setting sun casts a fiery aura over the spires
and battlements of our beloved campus, let us hie ourselves to
our tobacconist's and lay in a night's supply of Marlboro or
Philip Morris, and then let us. 1. wing, wind slowly o'er the lea
to our dormitories and sit upon our army suriilus cots, spent
but content, and smoke and dream and hark the curfew toll the
knell of parting day. Aloha, fair campus, aloha !

renovated jesup Hall Thursilav ni<j;ht with the words, "The art of
brinkniansliip as practiced hv the United States is unsati.sfaetory,

He began his lecture, entitled
"Ru.ssia, China and the United
States", by drawing an analogy
regarding the recognition of Red
China.
"Suppo.se Jefferson Davis had
retreated to Martha's Vineyard
after the Civil 'War," he mused,
"and then he fortified his island
with 100,000 troops and also
claimed title to .small island which
we can imagine to be just six miles
off the coast of Boston."
Schuman enlarged upon his
metaphor. He pictured Davis ob-
se.ssed with a dream of reconquer-
ing the mainland. On top of that
he ;n''agin':d thrt Great Britain
backed up Davis' claim by sending
the largest peacetime naval fleet
to patrol the coast of Massachu-

the United States. "As an Ameri

Three Lessons
Before we can have an efficient
foreign policy, Schuman empha-
sized that we must learn the les-
sons of history. He urged that we
recognize that the communist
challenge is not purely a military
one, but a "technical, social and
economic challenge as well." Sec-
ondly he denounced the idea that
a foreign policy based on anti-
communism was workable. Final-
ly he stressed that trying to solve
international problems by standing
on doctrines was the quickest way
to precipitate a war. Schuman ur-
ged that we not accept Dulles' un-
yielding stand which might be sta-
ted "Come weal, come woe, my sta-
tus is quo."

Travelers Find
Russians Cordial
-A
A small group attended a Rath-
skeller panel Monday night where
Matt Nimitz '60, and Steve Ross
59, spoke on their joint journey
in Russia,
Russia, as the two "curious Am-
ericans" saw it, presented a pic-
ture in sharp contrast to the tra-
, ditional beliefs conjured up by the
political wranglings between the
United States and Russia. Where
as relations between Russian and
American political officials ap-
pear far from cordial, Nimitz and
Ross found the Russian people
very friendly. "Russia was the
least anti-American towards tour-
ists of any European nation," said
Matty.
This proved to be much to the
good fortune of the Williams stu-
dents because most of their talk
centered around conversations
which they had had with Russian
citizens. While in Russia the tw'o
students heard everything from
the "party line" to "the straight
dope."
Plagiarism
The Gargoyle Society recent-
ly recommended that all facul-
ty members discuss plagiarism
with reference to their parti-
cular courses at the beginning
of each term.
The honorary society sees
this step as one means to cur-
tail the large number of pla-
giarism cases, rumored and pro-
ven, which apparently result
from ignorance of the regula-
tions.
The faculty will express its
opinion on the move at a forth
coming meeting. The resolution
emphasizes that freshmen es-
pecially should have the regu-
lations clearly defined to them
at the beginning of the school
year.
Russian Jet Set
Among the student-age gi-oups
I called the Russian Jet Set) the
two travelers found a keen inter-
est in things American. It seems
they were always invited to share
a glass of vodka with their Rus-
sian contemporaries in exchange
for information about America, es-
pecially American jazz. Ro.ss re-
marked that the voice of America
might penetrate the iron curtain
more efficiently if it had a 24 hour
jazz program.
Nimitz rapidly dispelled rumors
that Russian women were beauti-
ful. "They're all .sort of stocky, you
know, the discus thrower type,"
Ross noted that the women do
much of the work in Russia, the
reason being that much of the
male man power is concentrated in
the army.
Music Critic Lauds
Griswold'sQuindecem
By Richard L. Crews
The concert Friday by Mr, Tho-
mas Griswold and the Berkshire
Quindecem (which incidentally
outnumbered most "quindecema-
ta" or "fifteens" by a considerable
margin) was an exciting .success.
Mr. Griswold's youthful enthusi-
asm inspired the performers and
delighted the audience, while his
musicianship — despite his some-
what frantic conception of an al-
legro— was on a very high plane.
The program opened with a
Concerto Grosso by Vivaldi. After
recovering from the initial shock
of a Griswold-allegi-o, it was dis-
covered that the Quindecem had
the work very well under their
fingers. Their timing and balance
were excellent. Even the harp-
sichord, in defiance of the modern
tradition, was not too loud but was
balanced with the rest of the
group. The second movement,
"Largo e Spiccato", was very
gracefully performed, while the
final allegro left one .slightly out
of breath, but firmly convinced of
the group's ability.
Bach's third Brandenburg Con-
certo followed, a much more dif-
ficult work, and, although it ob-
viously gave the group some trou-
ble at Griswold-allegro, it was ad-
mirably performed. The two halves
of the work were separated by a
slow movement borrowed from

The Schuman Doctrine
Professor Schumaii's lecture last week was—
like all bis performances— a remarkable show. He
entertained bis audience with (|iiips, ((notes, an-
alogies, even a biblical text. But it was the same
old line, the sanii' tired dogma of power poli-
tics and world brotherhood reiterated to a world
which not only will not, but should not listen
too closely.
Schuman is ruthlessly objective in his analy-
sis of international politics. With fascinating eru-
dition be can clear the mist of prejudice and
cliche from tbinkinir about international affairs.
In fact his objectivity is so thorough that many
who misunderstand what he says have unjustly
accused him of "uii-Americanism."
Yet, we feel, Schuman fails— and this failure
was api^arent last Thursday-to take adecjuate
cognizance of the incentives by which jjolitical
societies originate, ^aiii power and make lasting
contributions to humanity.
National Self-consciousness
These incentives are rooted in a sense of
national self-con.sciousness. Certainly such a
sense was present in Periclean Athens at the
time of the war with Sparta, when Greece made
some of her most sig;nificant intellectual contri-
butions to the West. It was present in Imperial
Rome, when Rome made her lasting contribu-
tions to jinis|5rndence. It was present in the
French and American revolutions, when West-
ern political thought underwent some drastic
revisions which have been the basis of present-
day demoeracv and .socialism. And it is now (pre-
sent in Russia and America, when extraordinary
contributions to science and technology are be-
ing made.
Without a sense of national self-conscious-
ness, would American scientists have made this
soon a near-successful attem]5t to photograjjh the
far side of the moon?
Competition The Impetus
And, as Dr. Rabi reminded us last week,
competition from "we all know where" should
jjroperly serve as the impetus for increased U. S.
scientific advances in defense of free thought
and action and efforts to make that faith a real
one in such situation.s as the one in Little Rock.
Certainly we recognize the dangers of na-
tionalism "gone sour" as it has with tragic re-
sults in our century. And we certainly believe in
Letter To The Editor
RETHINKING WANTED
The opportunity lor everyone who wants to
join a fraternity to do so is a very comforting
|)hrase with which to he associated. It is fair by
the word opportunity" and it covers those who
do not like truternities or fraternal life by giving
the rushee a "choice."
Unfortunately, tlie conee|)t of total oppor-
tunity has nothing to do with present conditions
at Williams. To a person witii any desire to as-
sociate with otliers, there is little iloubt but that
lie must join. His life as a non-affiliate could eas-
ily De socially sterile. With many sophomores,
fraternities are less obnoxious tliaii is tlie hiert
non-aftiliate group.
Alternative To Fraternities
It does not follow that a fa/gf non-affiliate
group would be more of a panacea than total
opportunity is today. What is needed is not a
revival ot the jjreviously unworkable Gartield
Club or Commons but some important rethink-
hig on the subject. We must undertake to pro-
viae an attractive alternative to fraternity mem-
bership.
To be attractive, an alternative must offer
the advantages of house life without the so-call-
ed disadvantages. To begin, a rather arbitrary list
ot advantages might be helpful.
- livhig together in a jjhysical plant or house
- self responsibility for leadership and man-
agement
- pleasant, congenial atmosphere in which
to Hve
if tliis list is continued much further, tliose
wiio uo not like fraternities will begin to term tlie
items clisadsantageous. They will also state that
many of the advantages listed are not actually
o|5erative in the fraternities. Any intermediate
organization, therefore, becomes more like a fra-
ternity as fraternal advantages are added to its
inakeu]). And this disadvantage of an active and
attractive" non-affiliate grou]5 aUenates the
would-be members. It tends to become a ques-
tion of joining a traditional fraternity or a non-
sectarian clul), as it were.
Modified T. O.
Rethinking of the problem might take sev-
eral courses. Allow those who do not join to eat
and live where they will. Have modified T. O.
by luuing those who do not wish to join arbi-
trarily assigned to eat at a certain house. Other
possibilities may suggest themselves— all have
their res|5ective )jroblems.
In any case it seems obvious that there is
really no "ideal" in attempting to solve fraternity
problems: It de|3eiKls on your point of view.
This is an op|)ortunity for creative minds to
come U15 with a set of ideas which will be just
crazy enough to work.

the settling of national differences through nego-
tiation and not war.
Yet in Mr. Schuman s universal brotherhood
of man, national differences would be dulled.
The sense of national self-consciousness would
grow dim. And the incentives, to which much
of the progress of man has been a res)JOiise,
would be gone.

Prof. Frederick Schuman Calls For
Realistic View Of Foreign Relations
fc(/ iieor^e Heath
"Tlie integration crisis dramatizes very vividly the prohl. mj
of human relations in the United States, and ought to serw to
eneonrage the de\elopment of a little humility in the Ainei i( an
outlook towards foreign relations bearing in mind the fact iliut
the human race consists of two-thirds 'colored' people."
Professor Frederick L. Schnman came to Williams in n.jg
and has taught at Harvard, Cornell, (Jolmnbia, (^alihirnia, and his
alma mater, the University of Chicago. Prof. Schnman took his
doctorate and Pii.D. at Chicago in 1924 and '27, respectiveiv He
holds the Woodrow Wilson Prolessorship of Coveriunent an '
acting chairman ])io. ton. of the Political Science departm
while Professor Vincent Barnett is on iea\e.
Latest Book Out in J till/
His latest book, Riisnia Since 1917, was published last |
In it. Professor Schuman traces the course of Russian power I
the October Revolution to the davs of the "Big Thaw" and
Suez Crisis. Dr. Schumaii's main concern is the complex in,! r-
action between domestic problems and foreign outlook in ihc
Soviet system. He also discusses the dillerences between the
ories of Marxism and the practice ol Russian conimunism in ti
of the Moscow ]3urges, the Five Year Plans. He also describes
major Soviet leaders, Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin, as well as M
tov, Malenkov, and Klirusche\-.
Russia Since 1917 is es]5ecially concerned with the relat
ship, bred of fear and suspicion, between East and West, ami
years since Stalin's death, when peace and power became the
ject of the gropings of diplomats.
Dr. Schuniaii is a noted lecturer and author. His pnbli.slicd
books include International Politics, (sixth edition, 19.58), I'lu;
Commonwealth of Man, Soviet Polities, /)(',v(gn for Power, Ni<Jit
over Europe, Europe on the Eve, Germanij Since 191H, The S'uzi
Dictatorship, Tlie Conduct of Cernian Foreign Poliei/, War mid
Diplomacy in the French Republic, and Anwrican PoUct/ Touiinl
Rtdssia.
Recognition of Red China
Concerning the question of the recognition of the Red Chi-
nese government by the United States, Dr. Schuniaii states, "I'luni
1793 to 1913, the United States firmlv adiiered to the Jefferson ian
recognition |3olicy. (It is) a policv of granting recognition ... to
any government abroad if it is in power, it is a matter of conveni-
ence. With the Wilson administration recognition became a symlxil
of a)>proval or disapjiroval. Nothing is acbiexcd by this policv. It
is unrealistic, im|)raetical, visionary.
Opinions on the Cease-Fire
Prof. Schuman also outlined some contributing factors in the
recent Communist Chinese decision to cease shelling the oflsliore
islands. "It was partly due to Russian advice, not pressure. 1 have
no doubt that any advice the boys in China get from die boss in
Moscow was of a moderating nature." He added that the (Chinese
Comninnists were also testing the statements of Secretarv of State
Dulles and President Eisenhower that the U. S. would consider
a change in the status (pio of the offshore islands in the event of
a cease fire.

Gliders, Jets, Copters
Perforin In Air Show
All estimated 3500 jjeople saw a tour hour air .sliow partially
sponsored by tiie Williams Flyinj^ Club at tbe North Adams Air-
port Sunday.
Cluh President John Greer '59, called tbe show "very ^ood
for a city tbe size of North Adams" and praised tbe military for
their co-o|)eration. The exliibition was co-sponsored by the Civil
Air Patrol and the Mohawk Valley
Aviation Company.
Profits Low
In spite of the large turnout
profits from the show were lower
than expected. This was due to the
fact that people in the vicinity
did not have to go to the airport
to see the show.
The Flying Club had hoped to
raise enough money from the show
to pay for a new engine and rad-
io equipment which are being in-
stalled in the Club plane. Greer
said profits would not cover these
expenses.
Stunts
The show began at 1:00 wilh a
stunt demonstration by an A-T6.
an old trainer from the Second
World War days. A Waco biplane
then performed several feats in-
cluding loops and inverted flight.
Two gliders, buoyed up by the
wind, remained aloft for over an
hour after being towed into the
air. P-86 jets from Stewart Air
Force Base also performed.
However, students Larry Pond
'59 and Tony Harwood '59, and
national champion Jack Rose of
Amherst were unable to parachutj
as planned due to winds of up to
30 mph. Greer said the terrain a-
round the airport is too rugged to
make jumping safe if the winds
are much over 15 mph.
Army vs. Navy
A high point of the afternoon
was a very unusual show put on
by two twin rotar helicopters, one
a Navy plane and the other rep-
resenting the Army. The two
planes seemed to be competing,
each one trying to out-perform the
other.
Each landed by auto-rotation at
least once. Auto-rotation is an
emergency method of landing in
case the engines fail. The plane
takes a vertical dive to get the ro-
tars spinning fast enough to hold
the plane up, permitting normal
landing speed.

Following are the more recent
fatal accidents in the area :
1) January 3, 1957 — F-86D
Sabrejet exploded over Charle-
mont, resulting in death of Air
Force Lieutenant attempting to
parachute to safety.
2) May 28, 957 — F-86D Sa-
brejet crashed in Lenox, killing pi-
lot from Westover Air Force Base,

Sommersel, Vt., killing Mr. and
Mrs. Mark Larue of Hoosac Falls,

Despite Bill Moomaw's third
place performanc, Williams' var-
sity cross country team opened Its
1958 season in the losing column
last Saturday as they finished
third in a meet with Springfield
and MIT at Cambridge.
Holding their own score down

him.

A sophomore studded Williams
soccer team goes into today's game
with Harvard an underdog but
with a good chance to pull oft an
upset. The game, slated to Degin
at four o'clock on Cole Field
should prove to be the first major
hurdle for Coach Clarence Chaf-
fee's oooters.
Last Saturday Harvard was
beaten by Amherst 3-0,
Physically Williams is not ham-
pered by any serious injuries. Co-
captain Don Lum missed a few
practices because of a pulled leg
muscle but should play the whole
game.
Harvard will miss the services
of its star fullback Floyd Moloy
who was injured in the Cornell
game.
The Crimson will not field as
strong a team as last year but
there are seasoned vecerans at Kty
positions. High scoring Bill Ek-
pebu will be a left wing. Last year
he tallied twice in Harvard's 5-1
win over Williams.
Harvard has a 2-1 record to date.
They thumped Boston University
6-0 in their first game and scored
an upset over Cornell 2-1 last
week. Goalie Bagnoli played an
outstanding game against the Ith-
acans.

Parisian Company To
Present Racine Drama
Marguerite Jamois, called "the
Helen Hayes of French theater"
by a member of Williams' French
dephrtment, will star in a produc-
tion of Jean Racine's "Britanni-
cus" at the AMT November 10.
The troupe of professional
French/ actors, with which Mme.
JamoisVis traveling, is making a
tour OH the United States and
Canad|/under the sponsorship of
the pffnch government. The tour
startsi in Montreal and goes to
such ^ilaces in the United States
as Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and
San Francisco as well as Williams-
town.
Stars
The production of "Britanni-
cus", which received enthusiastic
reviews in Paris papers when it
played there last winter, also stars
Daniel Ivernel and Raymond Ger-
ome. Gerome is also the director
of the production. Jean de Rigault,
the man who brought popular
French pantomimist Marcel Mar-
ceau to America, is managing the
trip.
"Britannicus" was written by
Racine as a classic tragedy and,
with other Racine plays, became
a model for the type of play which
was considered the highest form
of literature during the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries.
Racine's diction, considered the
purest French ever w'ritten, limits
itself to a vocabulary of about 400
words.
Burns . . .
"We must have a foreign policy
that plans ahead in a constantly
changing world. The American
people must be treated with confi-
dence and candor by their gov-
ernment. We must know where we
stand in the eyes of other na-
tions." Our policy towards the So-
viet Union should prove our abili-
ty to offer specific and construc-
tive proposals for reducing tension
without lowering our guard.
"Our federal tax system is in-
efficient and inequitable. We must
modernize it so that the burden
of taxes is distributed fairly and
that the taxes themselves do not
drain the private initiative and
risktaking on which the progress
of a free enterprise system de-
pends." In this attempt. Burns
has stressed the help to the over-
burdened property taxpayer and
the hard-hit small business own-
ers.
"I believe it is time the govern-
ment talked less about the problem
of small business and did some-
thing. I recommend that our fi-
nancial system be revised to as-
sure small firms an adequate
share of loanable funds."

The plot recounts Nero's strug-
gle to free himself from the influ-
ence of his mother, Agrippina,
who had helped him dispossess
Britannicus, the legitimate heir to
the imperial throne, and who is
Nero's step-brother.
Racine, however, was not so
much concerned with the mechan-
ics by which Nero destroyed his
brother as with the moral change
which took place in Nero's mind
at this time. The audience is al-
owed to watch Nero change from
a fairly normal man to the des-
potic tyrant known to history.
Murders Offstage
The production uses practically
no scenery and contains little ac-
tion. Although the plot deals with
blood and violence, the murders
occur offstage so that attention
may be concentrated on reactions
to the events rather than to events
themselves.
For those unable to understand
French, the French department
has arranged to have a lecture
.sometime before the production to
explain the plot and theory of the
play. Synopses of the play will
be available free from Spring
Street bookstores before the pro-
duction.
Concert
Bach's Cantata number twenty-
one. Griswold deserves a great
deal of credit for discovering
and including this movement
which even develops some of the
same motifs used in the first move
ment, and, inserted as it was be-
fore the two adagio chords from
the end of the first movement, be-
comes very well integrated into
the work.
One of the most interesting parts
of the concert was the first per-
formance of Professor Robert G.
Barrow's new Suite Concertante
for strings and organ which con-
cluded the first part of the pro-
gram. Professor Barrow also play-
ed the organ, and his brilliant,
mature musicianship was evident
both in the composition itself, and
in his performance . The composi-
tion involves a contemporary ap-
proach to harmony and a Hinde-
methian kind of counterpoint in
the framework of a traditional
form. It deserves many more hear-
ings.
His performance of it, besides
being peppered by a touch of di'a-
ma when his music fluttered in the
breeze from Conductor Griswold's
downbeat and had to be sta'oilized
by a volunteer from the audience,
displayed his amazing knowledge
of the organ.
Although he is not a virtuoso in
keyboard technique, Professor Bar-
row's familiarity with the complex
problems of registration and dy-
Sophomore Goes On African Safari;

hi a 9000-mile trip this past
summer, David Coughlin '61, fol-
lowed the route of David Living-
ston in his 1858-63 Zambesi expe-
dition into northwestern Africa.
Coughlin traveled in a three-
man party headed by naturalist
Quenton Keynes, great-grandson
of Charles Darwin and frequent
writer for National Geographic
magazine. The third member was
Taiquin Olivier, son of actor Sir
Lawrence Olivier.
After spending three weeks in
namics on the organ enable him to
phrase the music with a warmth
and subtlety rarely heard from
this instrument.
The second part of the program
consisted of some very refreshing
Mozart pieces, well played and well
suited to rounding out an exciting
and in general very successful con-
cert.
The Berkshire Quindecem is
quite a new organization on cam-
pus and it was interesting to no-
tice some new faces among the
overworked local string players.
These included a pony-tailed

ed girl playing from the first chair
of the second violins.

Despres: Economic!-
A Method of Thinking
Economics is more a method of
cb liking than of doctrines and
c<i.ii;lusions," cited Emile Despres,
'W'liam Brough Professor of Ec-
oiv.mics, in a RECORD interview.
Many conclusions of today are
lil. iy to be obsolete a decade or
tv , hence. Therefore, my main ef-
fi. i in teaching economics is to
B^ ■ the student to think like an
ei 'Uomist in approaching and an-
a; zing problems. But, though ec-
0 .mics is a method of thinking,
it s not just common sense; com-
ir n sense is commonly wrong."
Economic Situation in U.S.
The most important economic
(1 "slion is not the recession, nor
ii lation, nor economic growth. It
i^ how wisely wc make use of the
V, .st productive powers that we
li ne, 'We spend too many of our
I'sources on relatively trivial
trimmings while finances for many
11 ajor needs are hard to come by.
rhe rate of growth of econom-
i> ^ has slowed up a great deal
since the end of 1955. 'While we
iie now coming out of this reces-
"1 in, it doesn't look as if the re-
covery will be complete. Taking
1 lie country as a whole, it looks
like we are headed for semi-pros-
perity rather than vigorous
Browth,"
The Recession
The recession, Despres cited,
was an aftermath of a kind of in-
dustrial expansion spree based on
over-optimism and excessive pro-
tits in some industries. This ex-
pansion was beneficial while the
new buildings were being built;
however, when the plants were
completed, the demand for the
EMILE DESPRES
"Common sense is commonly
wrong"
products was not enough to main-
tain the plant growth.
Background
Receiving his BS from Harvard
in 1930, Despres went to work for
the Federal Reserve Board in New
Yoi-k. His nine-year stay with this
board was interrupted for only a
year when he became a resident
consultant at the Hai'vard Grad-
uate School of Public Administra-
tion,
During the war Despres was in
charge of the economic division of
the Office of Strategic Services
(OSS I and was its representative
to the Joint Intelligence Staff of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He came
to Williams in 1946.
Intercollegiate athletics for the
1957-58 college year cost 'Williams
"'I'^S ?1C* Till'-" fi'^ur'^' ir.^ludes '■'"•l-
aries of coaches but even with that
it looms large in the college bud-
get. What does the cost of athle-
tics mean to Williams'.'
Athletics at the college have ne-
ver and will never be expected to
pay for themselves as with larger
institutions. This is a statement
of a policy reflected both by Prank
R. Thoms. Jr.. Director of Ath-
letics, and Shane E. Riorden, As-
sistant Treasurer of the college.
How do we Pay?
Income from gate receipts, stu-
dent athletic fees and guarantees
do. however, absorb some of the
expenses. Last year this figure
came to less than a third. The de-
History, English
Remain Popular
With final registration figures
in. History and English remain
the most popular majors at 'Wil-
liams by wide margins. The most
striking figure, however, is the
increase in the size of the senior
class at the college.
In the Class of 1959 there were
260 seniors registering as opposed
to 236 for the Class of 1958. This
fall there were 261 members of
the Class of 1961 signed up for
majors.
A combined American History
and Literature total of 64 places
the History Department in the
lead of majors. English is .second
with 40 and Economics third with
27.
Honors Candidates go up
Candidates for a degree with
honors in the Class of 1959 num-
ber 98 against 82 last year and 118
in the Class of 1960. Chemistry,
Economics, History, Political Sci-
ence and English lead with from
10 to 14 membeis each.
The new courses in the language
department, Russian and Italian,
have 29 and 14 students respec-
tively. The enrollment in the Rus-
sian course wtis limited to 30.
ficit is made up out of college in
come.
Siinh a large pyppnditnre is jvis
titled in many ways. The amount
of participation in intercollegiate
sports is unusually high at 'Wil-
liams. At other colleges intramural
athletics assume a more import-
ant role and the ratio of students
on varsity and freshman teams to
the total enrollment goes down.
Williams is also free of any
pressure to make athletics pay.
This pressure usually comes from
the expense of athletic scholar-
ships and an extensive spectator
plant. Sports are more integrated
with the college curriculum than
at most colleges.
Williams Ranks High
A study of college expenditures
compiled recently from twelve
schools showed Williams spending
the largest percentage of its in-
come on intercollegiate athletics.
The colleges ranked in this order:
Williams. 7.2 per cent; St. Law-
rence, 6.8 per cent; Lafayette, 5.4
per cent; Bowdoin, 5.3 per cent;
Middlebury. 4.5 per cent; Ti'inity,
3.9 per cent and Colby, 1.9 per
cent. However, it is interesting to
note that Williams spends a
greater percentage of its budget,
68.3 per cent, towards education
than do these other institutions.
Expenditures are not taken cas-
ually. The office of the Director
of Athletics is always seeking ec-

Speak At Rally Today
Governor Foster Furcolo and
other Democrats on the state tic-

will speak at a bonfii-e rally In
Williamstown, Friday, Oct. 17.
The 'Young Democrats of Wil-
liamstown organized the rally,
which begins at eight p.m. at, the
Spruces, east of Williamstown.
Other speakers will include the
candidate for attorney-general
and two for the state legi-slature.
Burns will meet any students In
terested in his campaign in the
Rathskeller, Saturday, at 12:45.
Setting
The play itself was written in
the version to be presented at the
AMT just before the death of
Thomas in November 1953. A
statement of the joy and beauty of
life, the play is set in a small
Welsh fishing village.
It is believed that Thomas was
attempting to immortalize the
small Welsh town of Laugharne
where he spent most of his life
and he used the language of the
people as a basis for the poetry
of the play.
Five years ago this month, Dy-
lan Thomas was in Williamstown
and gave a reading of some of his
own and other poets' works.
78.9% Employed
In Summer Jobs
In spite of the difficulty in ob-
taining vacation jobs due to the
recent recession, Williams stu-
dents set a numerical all-time
high in summer employment this
year.
Total student income amounted
to $431,688, an increase of about
$8,000 over the previous record.
Prom the college enrollment of
1102 men, 870, or 78,9 per cent,
were employed. The former high
in employment was 74.3 per cent
of the student body.
Individual Incomes
The individual high in income
was $3,000 earned by a senior who
worked as a tennis instructor. The
highest figure in the junior class
was made by an accountant, in the
.sophomore class by an engineer,
and in the freshman class by a
construction worker.
Unusual Work
Many students held unusual
jobs this past summer. Among
these were a missionary to Can-
ada, a band leader, a parachute
instructor, and a test rider for a
rodeo stock supplier. A baseball
scout, a gravedigger. a mosquito
exterminator, a bridge toll col-
lector and a scallop fisherman
were also represented among the
college undergraduates.

REFERENDUM WANTED
To the Editor:
In till' ino.st roct'iit iiicctiiHj; of tlic College
Council till' memhers of that IxkIn' hv a plurality
of 5 to 4 decided that all the' students of Wil-
liams College would he taxed SO.tU |H-r year to
pay for the |)uhlicati()n of a \earhook. 1 would
like to express strong objections (1) to the \va\'
in which the decision wa.s made, and (2) to tin'
tendency on campus of soKing e\ery financial
problem by a general ta.\.
There is enough \arietv among the students
so that one can assiune that some might not caic
to buv a \earbook each vear. l^ook at tlu' sales
records of the past il you want facts to bear
this out. It is also entirely possible to belie\e that
some students who are in a ratliei' tight iiosition
finaneially might choose to spend their $24 in
some other wav than this. I do not like to see
a decision of this sort, which ought to bi' left u|)
to the indi\ idual. made tor him bv the College
Council. .Mso. is it not logical to a.ssume that in
the future, alter finaneially )30()r years, the
HECOHD, the recently defunct "Purple C>o\v'".
and e\c'n a student literar\' niaga/.ine. if one were
to spring u]), might re(|uest and be granted the
same gnaianteecl income. It is a bad trend to
start.
Tin- margin of one Note in a .^-4 decision—
not e\en a majority vote of the total membership
— seem.s \ery small to decide the allotment of
$6600 of the students' money. This is especialK
valid when one coiisider.s (1) that the CC is
traditionally more liberal than the student body
as a whole, (2) that two of the members of that
body are e.\-editors of the "Gid", and (3) that
the College C^onneil Conunittee on Finance re-
commended, when discussing the proposal, that
it be put to the student body in the form of a
referendum. This recommendation by the CCF
was not even discussed at the recent meeting. It
is not too liard to remember the last time the
College Council lexied a similar ta.x. E\eryone
had to buy his share of 15 worthless FM sets
which were discarded within three months.
I would very imich like to see the student
hody, which recently defeated a similar univer-
sal tax oa houseparties, have a chance to iiiake
a choice on this c|iiestion in a referenduin. If it
did 1 helicM' the result woidd be very different
from that legislated by the CC. No matter what
the result, at least the student body oujxht to
have a chance to express its opinion.

SOPHOMORE DRIVING WANTED
Editor's Note: The problem of sophomore
drivinfj, j)ermi.S!iion has arisen anmialltj for the
past several ijears. Last year the Freslimun
Council fonniilated a proposal and, with the
approcal of the CC, sent it to the Trustees. This
pro})osal however, met the same fate as its pre-
decessors, and sophomores are not driving. Some
reasons for and a<^ainst driving are outlined in
the followinf^ letter.
More people chase after
Camels than any other cig-
arette today. And no won-

To tlie Editor:
At a recent meeting between Dean Brooks and the son
more class three reasons were suggested for the denial of soi
more driving. First, since Williams students are considered o\
accident prone, the trustees want to protect us; they ilo not \>
anyone killed unnecessarily. .Second, because our college ediic;r
is in itself so costly, the trustees feel an automobile (avci
maintenance cost; $25.00 per month) would be an uncallec!
burden. Third is the (luestion of availability of parking ,spa(
an idready congested town.
But all drivers are issued licenses only after they have pa
tests ])roving their capability as safe drivers. It is not up to
trustees to decide whedier we are or not. Wlnit is more, wl,
to say that Juniors and Seniors are less liabh' to accident ■
Sophomores? Secondly, it would appear that the trustees ;u,
tempting to effect social e(|uality. Ridicnloiis. If a student
uot afford a car, obviously he will not have one. Willimiis
dents, assumed to be reiisonably inti'iligent, will realize tlieii
tual positions, and will not be jealous of wh;it Dean Brooks
lulled would be a social barrier.
Because tlie third reason is <|uite valid, a c<)m|)romise i
be made. There is ample ))iirking area behind the AMT, be
the hockey rink, and at some of the fiaternity houses. Cars ■
license plates removed iire currently left at the rink. Wh\
leave the license plates on and allow So|)h()mores to drive on w
ends, say from noon Friday to midnight Sunday? Almost all li
ing on weekends is traveling to and from Williamstown, so ;
Spring Street would be little affected. An honor system inigh
imposed to assure that the temjitation to dri\e at other ti
would be resisted.

GOOD
EVENING,
HAPPINESS
Sitting in the hotel bar, I felt a quick pain as I realized
everything was nothing. Also, the waiter had put an
elbow in my eye as he served the beer. It was teeming
rain outside. Later perhaps, with luck, there would be a
tidal wave. I began to sob happily.
"Stop crying in your beer," my father said, moving my
Schaefer. "It's your kind of beer— real beer." But was
it? Was anything mine, or his, or anybody's? We had
been coming to Atlantic City too many seasons. Just me,
my father, Annette, Yvette, Babette. I was bored.
A proud, frail young man approached our table. My
cheeks grew damper than ever. I was in love again. "I
see you drink Schaefer, too," he said to me. "Do you
know why experts call it 'round'?"
I shook my head, sailing tears about the room. "Of
course," my father interrupted, "round means a smooth
harmony of flavors." I wanted to kill him.
My young man's dark-circled " ~^ ,
eyes grew sad. "To your kind of
beer," he said, "all liquid gold
and capped with snow." My
father raised his glass to return
the toast, but I quickly pushed
him over backwards in his chair.
"To your kind of beer," I said,
my voice alive with ennui. We clinked glasses, and then
he was gone.
And I was all alone again, surrounded by people. But
the clink of the glasses of Schaefer, ah, that is my bitter-
sweet treasure. So each evening, when the Schaefer
comes, after the pain of memory, after the waiter's
elbow, I say, "Good evening, happiness . . . Good eve-
ning, Schaefer." And then I cry.

why: he dines on a daily diet of vanilla ice cream.
Now if that is what the Williams Club feeds its

in the GRILL ROOM. Men only. Pine-panelled. Bar
in corner. Piled-high steaming plates. Rim-full frosty
glasses. Efficient waiters. Or in the "girll" room.
For you and your date. Intimate. Flatteringly lit.
Voluptuously carpeted and upholstered. Sexy. And
no finer food and drink in NYC. Wait. That is not
all. Did you know that the Williams Club is one
of the most reliable, fleetest-footed, theater-ticket

IJarinf^-Gould's goal brought the game to an e.xeiting close but
fell short of a victory.
Harvard opened the first quarter
at a fast pace but soon lost control
of the offense to the Ephmen,
Williams pressed the Crimson
goalie Bagnoli throughout the first
half but was unable to score. The
purple defense sparkled under
the drive of center half Kem Baw-
den and fullbacks Don Lum and
Tom Fox.
Play in the second half again
fell in favor of the Ephmen but
when the Harvard halfback line
finally jelled they were able to
capitalize on their first break of
the afternoon. High scoring left
wing, Bill Ekpebu took a long
cross from Lowe and carried it un-
assisted for a scoring shot. This
was with nine minutes gone in
the third quarter.
Harvard outfought Williams for
most of the fourth period and cen-
ter forward Ed Tuckerman scored
the second goal for the visitor's on
a screen shot ten yards out.
With four minutes remaining in
the game, co-captain Mike Bar-
ing-Gould took a cross from right
wing Dan Pales and scored the
first goal for Williams. The Eph-
men sparked up for the remaining
minutes and narrowly missed ty-
ing the game on several opportuni-
ties.

Dr. Boring Gives
Phi Bete Lecture
Dr. Edwin G. Boring, Harvard
professor of psychology and for-

PsycholoRical Association, will dis-
cuss "Is Man a Machine?" on
Tuesday night at 8 P.M. in the
Biology Lab. This lecture will be

year as one of Harvard's Lowell
Television Lecturers, he drew
praise for his widely-used course
in introductory general psycholo-
gy.
A leading historian of psycholo-
gy, he has also concentrated in the
fields of perception and sensation,
in the psychology of history, and
has authored many books and ar-
ticles on these topics. He is well
suited to discuss his topic, as he
held a degree in mechanical en-
gineering before receiving his Ph.
D. in psychology from Cornell Uni-
versity. I

onomy. However, while the cost
of sports has jumped $54,000 in
the past three years, the income
they supply has fluctuated be-
tween $5,000 and $65,000.
The easiest answer would be an
increase in the $37 athletic fee

is arbitrary and its existence is
purely the policy of the college and
not an attempt to meet the costs
of the athletic program.

Parking Revision
A proposal by Williamstown
Cliief of Police John Courtney and
lown manager Jay M. Au.stin to
ii'vise overnight parking and put
I'.alf-hour restrictions on .some
streets will soon be approved by
Ihe selectmen and Deparlmenl of
Public Works.
When in effect, the names of the
streets involved will be published
in the newspapers, for "we want it
written in black and white just
where tagging will be issued," stat-
ed Chief Courtney.
The plan was suggested by the
confusion last year caused by ni-
tcrference with plowing during the
heavy snow storms and the incor-
rect tagging of cars on some of the
streets. It was never stated which
streets were involved.
The overnight parking restric-
tions will be from 2-6 a.m. Some
streets will be restricted only dur-
ing the winter months, when the
snow must be cleared from the
roadways. I
organized basis for the first time
this year, was greeted somewhat
apathetically by the fraternities.
This indifference may have re-
sulted from the time of the late
session, or from the fact that
.louses were no longer under the
pressure of having to fill their
pledge classes.
Total Opportunity
In other rushing news. Rushing
Committee chairman Len Grey
stated that total opportunity is
being attempted mainly by private
negotiations and will not be the
subject of a campus drive, As of
now the Committee recognizes
three sophomores who have not
received any bids.
Certain changes in the mechan-
ics of rushing are being consider-
ed Grey said. He did not state
what these changes might be.
Depledging
Grey also disclosed that four
sophomores have depledged from
three fraternities. These men will
be ineligible to accept a bid until
three months after the day of de-
pledging.

Of Popular Russian 1
By Mike Mead
Rather haphazardly listed in the
College Catalogue under "Roman-
if Languages" is Russian 1-2. Ori-
ginally envisioned to have an en-
rollment of about six, there are
now twenty-nine in the course,
and the sole member of the Rus-
sian sub-department, Mrs. Doris
de Keyserlingk, hopes to teach
■\ 3-4 section next year. She now
also teaches a section of German
1-2.
Williams students are "deter-
'iiined to learn and absolutely able
' 1 do so," she comments In an in-
resting accent.
Cosmopolitan Background
This accent, though charming, is
1 'It easy to identify. Cosmopoli-
in, It is a reflection of the woman
I in-self.
Born in St. Petersburg before
lie Revolution of Swiss and
.' eotch parents, she grew up in a

Her education, begun in Russia.

ti r some difficulties with the Na-

ill 1937. In the pre-war years she
served as acting secretary for the
h'lw defunct Russian Economic
Institute in New York whose
chairman was the late Wesley

versity professor.
By this time fluent in four ton-
gues, she served as a translator

at the Nurnberg War Trials after

big shots.
When the trial ended she was
offered other jobs in Occupied

with American Occupation per-

Council), a representative from the

Not SO Proposal
Social Council President Dick
Wydick. in a statement to the
RECORD, made it clear that this
is not a Social Council proposal.
"This letter in no way reflects
the official opinion of the Social
Council. It originated from a per-
sonal group, and not from a meet-
ing (^Uje Social Council."
Hyland Comments
College Council President Jack '
Hyland commented that this pro-
posal is not a new thing. He noted
that there was an Undergraduate
Council prior to the establishment
of the CC by a college referendum
in 1954.
Hyland also noted that the CC
began a long-range investigation
and evaluation of the student gov-
erning body about two weeks ago.
Also exhibited is an account of
the American Revolution by John
Joseph Henry, a scout for Benedict
Arnold's army, entitled "Campaign
Against Quebec in 1775". It was
used by Kenneth Roberts for his
novel "Arundel".
George Washington's personal
edition of the "Acts Passed at a
Congress of the United States of
America," printed in 1789 by
Francis Childs and Joseph Swaine,
is another feature.
Several members of the faculty
as well as two students contributed
items. Included are President J.
P. Baxter 3d's presentation copy of
his 1946 book "Scientists Against

of the Nazi "Who's Who" "Das

Since its organization two weeks
ago, the Williams "Conte for Con-

stride into the area Congressional

The club has confined itself to
two main areas of activity. It has
become the center of all cam-
paigning literature and canvassing
material for Young Republican
and College Republican groups in
the area.
It has also done campaign work
in the immediate vicinity, going
from door to door distributing
campaign literature. The club has
also undertaken the job of cam-
paigning in those areas in which

Demoaatic
Features Parade
About 250 people braved the
drizsle last Friday night to attend
the political rally sponsored by the
Young Democrats of Williams-
town.
The rally started with a parade,
replete with haywagons, candi-
dates' automobiles, and bonfire, at
7:30. The parade wound from the
Town Hall, past Spring Street, and
ended at The Spruces.
Among the speakers were Robert
Cramer, Representative from the
2nd Berkshire district, who is seek-
ing election as State Senator;
Frank J. Galuszka of North Ad-
ams, running for Cramer's seat;
and County Commissioner Jim
Bowes.
Mary Drury
Mary E. Drury, candidate for
Clerk of Courts, traveled from
Pittsfield to Williamstown in a
haywagon for the rally.
Mrs. James Burns spoke for her
husband, who was unable to at
tend, emphasizing the close coop-
eration between the Young Demo-
crats and her husband. Henry Cal-
lan then spoke for the entire Dem-
ocratic state ticket, urging every-
one to vote Democratic "from top
to bottom."
sliouts, "Oh, isn't life a terrible
thing, thank God!"
The Voices
Since Under Milkwood is a play
for voices, it was the voices which
brought Llareggub to life and
made it sing. Director Bob Math-
ews, reading the essential First
Voice, at times pushed the laugh
lines rather hard, but was always
aware of the richness of Thomas'
language and, in giving it the at-
tention and diction it needed, gave
Thomas, the poet, his best show-
ing of the play.
Dick 'Willhite's Second Voice was
steady and showed go6d tone,
though he occasionally rap too
fast over his lines for the audience
to savour their full flavour.
Performances in the large cast
were for the most part quite good.
Many readers created sensitive,
distinct characterizations, and In-
terplay between characters often
had refreshing spontaneity. A few
readers did less well, howeverj with
the disturbing result that life in
Llareggub was sometimes inter-
rupted by people reading parts.
Some drag was temporarily evi-
dent towards the latter half of the
play, but the pace later improved
and the conclusion was quite mov-
ing.

Letter To The Editor
CHANGE PROPOSED
Everybody's Porridge V
THE AMT
CRITICISM AND A PLEA
Not The Best Way
The letter appearing in the iidjaeeiit col-
umn—signed by ])residents ot twelve of the fii-
teen Williams Iraternities—jjropose.s a revision
of college government.
The letter is a reflection of a legitimate
complaint: the fact that the present College
Council is not a rejjresentative governing body.
Most Comicil members themselves vvouki agree
tliat diis defect exists. And any student at Wil-
liams who cares at all about College Go\ern-
ment would, we feel, contend that more re|5resen-
tation is necessary— especially in the imposition
of taxes (like the recent yearbook tax or last
year's eommimications system tax).
The ]3roposal described in the letter is not,
howe\er, the best way to achie\e greater re]ire-
sentation, because:
1 ) The Undergraduate Council which they
Hi]5n)|30se would be essentially the same organiza-
on as the UC which |)receeded the College
Council, and which was not considered adecjuate.
t would be quite foohsh, we feel, to make agahi
he mistakes of the past.
2) The i^roposed eoimcil, because frater-
nity presidents would dominate it, would be too
fraternity-oriented. On all issues it would tend
to take a fraternity rather than an all-college
view which could, in some cases, be disadvan-
tageous to the college as a whole.
A more successful solution to the i)roblem
of representation lies, we feel, in a more frec|uent
use of the referendimi by the present CC or by
an extension of legislative ])ower to the present
SC in matters (such as ta.xation) which concern
all students. We are pleased that— thanks to the
incentive inovided by the letter— a CC com-
mittee is exploring such possibilities. And we
hope that with this incentive provided, the let-
ter's pro])osal will be drojjped.

HARROW*-
first In fashion
To the Editor;
The purpose of the undersigned is not to
throw bombs but merelv to suggest to the stu-
dent body a more reijresentative foini of student
goNCMument that will be better abk' to aceoin-
jjlish the stated |5iu|wse of the jiresent College
Council.
The pur])ose of this organization shall be
to ])ronu)te the ideals of Williams (College;
to provide a controlling and directing
force lor e\erv ]5hase ol undergraduate
aeti\it\' not direetlv administered by the
facultv and administration; to foster a spi-
rit of unity and cooperation among the
students of the college; to develop among
students a sense ol personal responsibility
for their own conduct and the welfare of
the college; to foster administrative con-
sideration of undergraduate o])inions and
desires; and, to ]wss such legislation as
should be consistent with the aforesaid.
It is our feeling the members of the CC are
representative of no one but themselves. It is
impossible for these |3eople to determine how
tlu'ir constituency of 280 stands on any specific
issue and then \'ote in that manner. A few ex-
.imples ol almost tlie whole CC differing from
.dmost the whole student body are the com-
niiinieaiion system, the all-college meeting and
seereta]ies for rushing. We do not feel these
people are an elite that knows what is best for
us without considering our desires and opinions.
This inconsiderate action is not as much the
fault of the members of the CC as it is of the
form of go\ernment. At jiresent, these members
ol the CC; nuist \ote as indisiduals on each new
Issue for they cannot find out how a majority of
their class, which they sup|}osedly represent,
feels about the issue.
Vro])osal
Therefore, we suggest an Undergraduate
Council composed of the 15 house presidents,
one representative from the non-affiliates, and
fi\e rei^resentatives elected, one from each group
of three entries in the Freshman (j)uad. These
21 representatives could very easily have their
relati\ely small constituencies vote on every
issue and then represent that vote in the Coun-
cil. We feel that the four class ]5residents should
also be on the Coinicil.
We hope our suggestion will be considered
purely on its merits. All such changes help some
and hurt others, but it is oiu' sincere belief that
a more re|5resentati\e Undergraduate Council
will be of great benefit to the student body as
a whole.

be just that, and have a decent chance to place his tlic^atiicir

Secondly, the stages-there ARE TWO- at the AMT ai.
too often empty. Why not let road shows come in and give us th.
commercial plays we want? One French gioup is scheduled, s(

21-14 at Half
Bowdoin wasted no time in show-
ing Williams they were not about
to concede anything, as Captain
Gene Waters registered a quick six
points from the ten in the first
period after quarterback John
Condron had hit Charlie Pinlay-
son on a twenty five yard pass
play. Williams got organized, how-
ever, in the second period racking
up twenty one points. Gary Hig-
gins tossed to Sandy Smith for 33
yards then Ide climaxed a drive
going into the end zone from two
yards out. Hatcher then intercept-
ed a Condron aerial and galloped
thirty yards for the score. Before
the half, however, Bowdoin lanc-
ed the Williams pass defense with
a 25 yard pa.ss play from Condron
to Bob Hawkes. Hawkes rushed
for two points to make it 21-14.
Ide opened the second half with
two consecutive runs of 35 and 28
yards, tlie second good for a
touchdown. With Williams in pos-
session again Hatcher took the
handoff, cut to his outride and
stepped off seventy yards unmol-
ested for another six points.
Walker Scores
But Bowdoin was not through
at this point. In the final stanza
Hawkes registered again on a sev-
en yai'd sprint around end. Terry
Sheehan added Bowdoin's final
tally on a two yard plunge. Wil-
liams then countered twice to
wrap it up. Dan Rorke went fif-
teen yards around his right end
for one and Walt Walker grabbed
a 15 yard pass from Jim Briggs
with five seconds remaining for
the second.
This was Bowdoin's fourth de-
feat in as many starts, but they
managed to score more points
than they have in any single game

Nonconformist 'Hound'
Howls With Rock-n-Roll
Giving nonconfonnity a shot in the arm, joo "the Hound"
Turner broadcasts every Wednesday night from the Collefre Rest-
aurant dressed in green suedes, yellow tie, red shirt, dark shades,
and clashing s|)ort coat.
His format for the WMS show, sponsored by "this place on
the street with the solid beat," includes only the top rock-n-roll
tunes. "I try to get as many new releases as possible, so that the
listeners do not get tired of hearing the same thing," commented
Hound. In addition, he cited his success in piekiiiij; tlic hits of the
weeks on his "Hound Sound of the
Week."
"High-and-confidential cats, old-
guard restauranters, and the sub-
terranean set of the student body
drop into the restaurant during
my hour-long show. The crowd
each week is never the same al-
though I do see several familiar
faces. Some are those curious to
see what it's all about. Most pleas-
ant are the dates from Bennington
who make appearances every so
often."
Hound enjoys this show and is
not reluctant to admit that he
likes rock-n-roll. "Although the
music is somewhat stereotyped, it's
got the beat."
This Friday night in the Rath-
skeller the Hound will make a
guest appearance at a Record Hop.
Beer will be allowed in the Rath-
skeller at this time. The show will
be going on while Lionel Hampton
is entertaining on the top floor
of the Student Union.

Total Opportunity Sei^n
At Freshman Mixers
By Uldis Heisters
A very useful institution among
the honorable traditions at Wil-
liams is the ritual of mixing. While
on the surface, mixers serve only
as prospecting grounds for future
houseparty victims, they form a
vital part of the liberal education.
The girls arrive by bus and are
herded into the frosh lounge
where they are met by neatly-
scrubbed freshmen in a flying
wedge formation led by a few
smiling, jolly JA's. After brief in-
troductions, each freshman is free
to lake a girl up to dinner. If he
asserts his independence and re-
fuses, he finds himself sampling
Snack Bar hamburgers.
The grand guided tour of the
Student Union begins after the
meal, when ;,he host gets up. and
with a majestic, sweeping gesture,
says, "This is the dining room
wliere we eat", followed by "This
is the pool room where we play
pool; this is the post office where
we get mail; this is the John." In
the mixing that follows, the con-

Nuclear Test Ban Issue Debated
By Connelly, Cole, Hill, Chandler
Professor Blum Of Yale To Speak
About Theodore Roosevelt Monday
"Theodore l?ooseve!t: A studv in Presidential Leadership" will
!)j discussed by VaK Prolessoi jolin ?\i. Ijiuiii, Munuay iiij^lil al
S:()() in the Chapin I^ibrary.
Blum's speech, sjiousored hv the Williams Lecture C^ommittee,
is a part of \Villiams' participation in the national centennial cele-
bration of the birth of the 25th ]5resident. C;ha]iin Library will
devote .\h)nday to a disi^lay of apjiroximately 200 books on
Roosevelt.
Should the nations of the world
put an end to nuclear tests? This
topic is currently the source of un-
limited controversy involving the
top scientific and political lead-
ers of the world. It is the national
d.l)ating topic for the 1958-59 col-
ic ■:• year, and last Monday night
fi ir Williams faculty members ar-
V ,"d the subject under the aus-
1' i's of the Adelphic Union in the
I .'per Class Lounge.
Arguments
ipeaking affirmatively for the
P iposition that "the future de-
\ opment of nuclear weapons
should be prohibited by interna-
t nal agreement," Speech Pro-
fr sor George C. Connelly argued
ti it the unknown magnitude of
r: s to human health and gene-
t! s cau.sed by radioactive fallout
P' ,>vided strong reason to halt
n tear tests. He further maln-
ti iii'd that the current "equilib-
II n of fear" could not long en-
di. '■ and would inevitably end on-
h n the catastrophy of nuclear
W;
>s evidence for this last con-
t(;\ ion, Connelly noted that de-
ceit rallzed control of nuclear wea-
pon-, in American SAC bases
mal;es avoidance of a third World
W'l dependent only upon the
judgment of field commanders.
fieshman Dean William G. Cole
an.wered for the negative team
witli the admission that there are
lisks involved in nuclear testing,
but they are almost insignificant
*hen compared to the risks which
halting the tests would bring. He
called the affirmative's proposi-
tion "hysterical, naive and senti-
COLE TAKING THE NEGATIVE
In the equilibrium of fear, hysteria
pointing to the need to ament agreement and avoid a nu-
clear war.
"sisssssss . . ..that's the day before
(or the day after) Houseparties".
Sometimes crafty students in
some of the more intellectual
courses obtain a two day grace
period.
Those students who crowbarred
their schedule so as to eliminate
Saturday classes will have both
Friday and Saturday off this
weekend — time well spent getting
the "Houseparty" haircut, scarf,
complimentary tickets, and li-
quor.
That Reputation
Few young w-omen who venture
into Williamstown know that
there is never a stronger feeling
of college loyalty than over House-
parties. Each man will inevitably
do his share to uphold that repu-
tation of Williams which he feels
to be most important — the admis-
sions office is only too aware of
some of them.
Fall foliage, Tufts on the losing
end. Carmen McRae, Northwest
Hill, and Lionel Hampton should
make Fall Houseparties quite a
show. Oscar Brand, famous for his
recordings, and the Talbot Bro-
thers ought to add life to the
weekend also.
Pew young women who venture
into Williamstown this weekend
will know what's happened until
that universal Monday morning
"eight o'clock" greets them at
Skidmore, Smith, Bennett, Vas-

maintain nuclear development as
a deterrent to total war. He fur-
ther admonished the affirmative
for believing that such an agree-
ment might be respected by the
Soviets who have broken the
terms of every other agreement
they have ever signed with the
United States.
Public Speaking Instructor For-
bes Hill answered Dean Cole's ar-
gument with the contention that
a ban on tests could be imple-
mented successfully because the
pressure of world opinion would
keep all nations from violating the
agreement. Hill argued further
that such a ban is the only posi-
tive step through which the world
might one day arrive at a disarm-
Summary of Speech
Blum will probably discuss Roo-
sevelt from the point of view of
his leadership and administrative
capacities. He will indicate the
ways in which he managed his
cabinet, his party, and Congress,
in general. Many historians believe
Roosevelt to be one of the best
administrators ever seen in the
Presidency.
Blum's Contributions
Previously a professor at M.I.T.,
B'um is the associate editor of
"The Letters of Theodore Roose-
velt", published a few years ago
by Harvard Press. This work com-
prises eight volumes of selected
letters written between 1868 and
1919. He has also written "The
Republican Roosevelt", a text us-
ed in History 4a.
An effective, witty speaker,
Blum has taught at the summer
sessions here at Williams.
President James P. Baxter, 3rd
is serving as the chairman of the
state-wide committee for the cen-
tennial.
sar .
Professor John Chandler of the
Religion department countered in
the final constructive speech with
the dual argument that the pre-

preventive war measure. He re-
minded his audience that cessa-
tion of nuclear development would
place the United States at a se-
vere power disadvantage with the
conventional forces of the Soviet

by an agreement to reduce con-

ban be practicable.
Chest Fund Progress
$5200 has been received to
date by the Williams Chest
Fund in its 1958 drive.
Although the official eight-
day drive closed October 14,
contributions will be received
for an indefinite period in
hopes of achieving the $6000
goal. Fund chairman, Jim Hart-
ley also hopes to get additional
money from "help week,"
Last year's drive received
pledges equalling its $6000 goal,
but was only able to collect
$4800 of that amount. Emphasis
this year was put on cash or
check contributions rather than
pledges.
Dr. Edmund Boring:
Freedom Is Delusion
In a lecture sponsored by Phi
Beta Kappa and the Department
of Psychology last Tuesday, Dr.
Edward Boring, former professor
of Psychology at Harvard Univer-
sity, .attacked the question: "Is
Man a Machine?" He discussed
the relative dependence of man
on outside influences.
Freedom, said Boring, is a delu-
sion, for one's will is subject in
every way to opinions, conscience,
and learning. Freedom is ignor-
ance. Every being is controlled to
some extent by the experience
which he accumulates. Events and
their sequence are an essential ba-
sis of insight and creativity. A new
discovery is actually an accumula-
tion of events.
Is Man Conscious?
Boring also pondered whether
man is conscious. He defined this
more specifically by assuming that
he was conscious, and then by pos-
ing the question whether everyone
else was conscious also or just a
figment of his imagination.
This problem, said Boring, has
puzzled psychologists and philos-
ophers due to the difficulty of de-
fining accurately another being's
behaviour. The in.spector must iso-
late himself from his subject; "the
looker cannot be part of the look-
ed-at".
This is done at present by clas-
sifying responses according to the
types of methods used to provoke
them, and then by altering the
method until a different reaction
is obtained.

Letters To The Editor
APPLEGATE ANSWERED
To the Editor:
Last week in a letter to the Editor, the Col-
lege Council was severely criticised for passing
an all college tax of $6.04 jjer man to pay for
the publication of a yearbook.
The letter writer objected strongly (1) to
the way in which the decision was made, and
(2) to the tendency on cam|>us of solving every
financial problem by a general tax.
First let me say that 1 feel the decision of
the CC on this matter was absolutely right. The
only unfortimate thing is the small majoritv (5-4)
by which the measure was passed.
Although there does often seem to he a
tendency to solve cam])us financial iiroblems bv
a general tax, I feel that this ])articular tax is
legitimate. In a college of Williams' standing, it
seems inconceivable to me that a yearbook (and
a very good one) should not be |3ubli.shed.
As for the manner in which the decision
was made, I would submit that this was the only
manner in which such a decision could have
been made. Certainly, a referendum woidd ha\e
been given a more surely accinate indication of
student opinion, but would the measure have
passed? I doubt it very much.
It seems to me that the purpose of govern-
ment is to make those decisions which its con-
stituency either can not or will not make for it-
self.

GREAT MISTAKE
To the Editor:
hi view of the forthcoming House|)arty
weekend, it seeins that a great mistake has been
made in scheduling Joe Turner to |)lay rock and
roll records in the Rathskeller the night of the
All-College Dance.
Wiiy bother to invite a musician of the
caliber of Lionel Hampton to Williams College,
enthusiastically )3aste his |)ictine all over the
campus, and then insult him by playing him
opposite current popular rock and roll record-
ings and three kegs of free betM? CJranted, the
upper dance floor does get crowded, and the
Rathskeller is a convenient outlet, but we still
feel that this is not the solution.
lias the Ilouseparty C-'omniittee informed
Mr. Hampton that there will be a rock and roll
show going on below him that evening':'

THE SCHUMAN UNDOCTRINE
To the Editor:
"The Schuman Doctrine" was the title' of
a recent editorial on this page, it was, 1 believe,
typical of all jomnalistic oversimplification and
tendency to misuse language. 1 jirojiose to jioint
out a few examples of these; to illustrate what I
have in mind.
Fir.st of all, the title was very misleading,
l^rofessor Schinnan did not advocate any doc-
trine. If I understand him correctly, his main
thesis was that doctrines are not only inap])ro-
priate hut also disastrous to foreign i)olicy. In
this sense, a mor(> proper title should have been
"The Sc'Inunan Undoctrine."
The editoiial argues that Scliunian does not
"take a(lc'(|uate cogni/ance of the incentives liy
wliieh political societies originate, gain ])ower
and make lasting contributions to humanity".
And the root of these incenti\'es is "national self-
consciousness".
From this argument, it is clear that the writ- 1
er of the editorial had no coneeiition of some
of the ternis he used. For instance, what does
he mean by "politi(.'al societies"? 1 suspect that
what he had in mind was rather a specific type
of political society which we call national com-
munity. Otherwise, he coidd not exjilain how
non-national political societies could and

iiaist
should have national self-consciousness. Furthermore, he (|q

follows. For the same reason, nation nuist precede national con-
sciousness, in other words, one cannot be conscious of ()||,.\
nation when the nation to be conscious of does not exist. Ilitrt'
fore, when the editorial asserts that "jjolitical societies", i., „,,.
tional societies "originate" by national sell-eonscionsness, W(
regard the whole argiunent as a contradiction in term.
Popular (.Umjnsiu\i
Next, the editorial also asserts that it is with natioim
consciousness that nations make lasting contributions to huiii,i!ijty
This argument is a splendid example ol popidar e()iifusion hi h^.,.,!
causality and coincidence. The laet that a si'use of national ■ mi.
sciousness was present when certain members of that nation
contributions does not necessarily allow us to infer thai
must be a causal relation between these two phenomena. ! i
if German national consciousness produced more lasting u
butions to humanity than, say, the late i'',instein who a|ip:ii
did not have much natioind self-consciousness. We also 1
that national self-conscioiisncss was greatly detrimental l(
|)ost-184cS German liberalism. At bi>st, the etlitorial writer's
ment on this jioint is a confusion. At worst, it is a distorln
facts.
Another misunderstanding. The editorial says, a la Oi.
—against whose "creativity in science" I oiler "creativity in i
ance"— that com]X'tition is a great impetus, iiut, i asl, doc
Schuman deny that? He would he the lirst to usher us inh
way of competition. What he docs not ai)|M()ve of is destni
competition. It is creative competition that i'rofessor .Selinnian
wants us to give our full energy to. Would voii disagree with liini?
Moralislic Do'^mos
Finally, i must point out that Professor Schinnan did not ad-
yocate moraUstic pacifism. The editorial mentions Mr. Scluini m's
universal brotherhood. Of course he ma\' have a taith in bioilici-
hood of mankind. i5ut to believe in uniNcrsal brotlieihood ol i,iaii
is one thing, and to make that biolherhood the scry basis ci nui-
foreign jiohcy is another thing. What l^rofessor Schuman was
saying was that we could not ailord to be "moralistic" when Ihc
facts are against oiu- political dogmas. IIowe\'er, yon may he lull
of aii]5etite, you cannot turn a stone into a bread. Be ])atri()lir. jj
you will! liut jiatriotism, or to use more learned language, na-
tional self-consciousness cannot help a rabbit swallow a lion.
K. W. Kim 'm
V. S. My personal a|)ol()gv seems to be in order. I feel Ihal
it is really a misfortune for me to writi' something of polemical
nature again. 1 want every reader to imderstand how deepK I
am disturbed bv this sort of journalistic thinking. When an issue
of great complexity has to be eornmmiieated to a large audience,
we nnist try to make our leasoning more complicated and not the
issue more sim|ile so that it can tit into our small mind. How won-
derful it would be if we could pull the moon a little nearer to the
earth instead of haxing to make more effecti\e rockets.

'Young And Old' By Hirsche Takes
Top Sculpture Prize In Local Show
By Stu Levy
H. Lee Hirsche, Associate Pro-
fessor of art, won the top prize
for sculpture at the 7th Annual
Berkshire Art Association exhibi-
tion in Plttsfleld last week. Over
380 sculptures and paintini-s were
entered.
Made of old driftwood and wire,
Hirsche's sculpture, titled "Youns
and Old", utilizes a conlr.ist be-
tween the old dead-like wood and
the bright "livixig" bronze wire.
The arrangement of the wire in-
tegrated within and around t*:c
wood suggests new Rrowth com ■
ing from the old.
Natural Material
"It could represent sprouts,
shoots, or vines — I wasn't speci-
fic. What I wanted was a con-
trast between the geometry of the
wire and the free shape of the
wood," commented Hirsche. Both
materials are in their natural
form.
"Young and Old" is the last in
a series of sculpture.s begun a
year ago. Each member of this
series represents a tree-like form
and consists of the wood-and-
wire combination.
Hirsche also paints and hWs had
.several one-man shows. "I have no
preference to either painting or
.sculpturing. I work with whatever
medium appeals to me at the
time." Though still in the experi-
Artist HIRSCHE
"I wasn't specific"
mental stage, Hirsche's art in gen-
eral seems to stress the verticals
and horizontals.
Hirsche graduated from the Yale
School of Fine Arts in 1954. For
two years afterwards he taught in
the department of architecture at
the University of Texas. He came
to Williams in 1956. He is present-
ly on the Board of Directors ol
the Berkshire Art Association anc
vice-president of the Mystic Art
Association in Mystic, Connecti-
cut.

Historical Background
Of Gov't. Revision Plan
By Wally Matt
This week twelve of the fifteen
house presidents signed a letter
to the Editor of the RECORD
which proposed the establishment
of an Undergraduate Council to
replace the present College Coun-
cil.
The proposed Undergraduate
Council would be composed of the
fifteen house presidents, a repre-
sentative from the non-affiliate
group, five representatives from
the freshman class ' one from each
group of three entries), and the
four class presidents.
History
The proposed Undergraduate
Council is not a completely new
idea. In fact a council similar to
the one proposed existed prior to
the establishment of the present
College Council in 1954.
This earlier Undergraduate
Council was composed of the fif-
teen house presidents, the elected
head of the Garfield Club and a
number of other representatives
determined by its numerical
strength, the presidents of each
of the four classes, and the elect-
ed chairman of the appointed Fi-
nance and Activities Committee.

date William Meyer (D) will speak

erican Foreign Policy" on Octo-
ber 23, at 8 p.m., in the Benning-
ton High School auditorium, as

tions Day program, announced

Council was under severe criticism.
The dissolution of the Garfield
Club and the subsequent resigna-
tion of all non-affiliates from the
Undergraduate Council left the or-
ganization dominated by frater-
nities.
About forty per cent of the stu-
dent body was virtually unrepre-
sented. The freshmen had always
been underrepresented. having on-
ly one member (their class pre-
sident) on the Council and by
1952 the non-affiliates were in
the same position.
Miller Report
In late November, 1952, the UC
reorganization committee report
was given by chairman Bill Mil-
ler '53. In an attempt to shift em-
phasis in student government a-
way from the fraternities, a split
into two bodies, the Interfraterni-
ty Council and the College Council
was proposed.
Although the Miller Committee
constitution received the necessary
two-thirds majority by a small
margin, accusations of irregulari-
ties in the voting procedure forc-
ed the still-functioning U. C. to
appoint an investigation commit-
tee. In the revote the College
Council plan failed to receive the
necessary two-thirds ma,iority.
Constitution Approved
A little over a year later in A-
pril 1954, the proposed College
Council constitution, as revised by
a committee headed by Don Clark
'54, was approved in a very cloj '
election. The ratification of the^
constitution was made possible on-l
ly by the overwhelming support of
the freshman class.
Two weeks from the date of rat-
ification, the constitution went in-
to effect. The first election of rep-
resentatives was supervised by the
Undergraduate Council which
then disbanded.

Cole Writes Article In ^Nation' On
Problem Of 'Couch And Confessional'
Professor William G. Cole, chairman of the Relif^sion Depart-
ment and aiitlior of "Sex, Christianity and Psvehoanalysis , pnb-
lished an article on "Coiieli and Confessional" in a recent issue
of "The Nation."
"Ill recent years," said Cole, "a senii-scieiitifie \ariety of i)sy-
chotlieiapy hasbi^en j^rasjx'd at by many in Protestant circles as
a potential bridge between priest
and people" to solve the problem
of Protestantism which "histori-
cally has bt'nn without a designa-
t;d method of dealing with the in-
dividual member's sense of guilt
and anxiety."
KeKgion and Medicine
Cole explained that religion and
medicine have been a single enter-
prise throughout primitive time,
and "nowhere has religion entirely
abandoned the task of ministering
to the ailing bodies and minds of
men."
"The modern period," he con-
tinued, "nas witnessed the para-
doxical spectacle of Roman Cath-
olics accepting their priests as fal-
lible men, yet endowed with gen-
uine spiritual authority, and Prot-
estants setting their ministers on
a moral pedestal, but turning to
them an ear grown dally more
heedless."
Jung
Carl Jung was cjuoted to prove
"the superiority of Roman Catho-
lics over both Protestantism and
Judaism in the safety-valves
against internal pressures built in-
10 both the individual believer and
in,; insiitution."
me Protestant pastor encoun-
tti3 a serious difficulty, Cole
pointed out, because "the loftier
pedestal he occupies, the more dif-
licult it becomes for mere sinning
^moriai.s to approach him. The mo-
deviant is driven to the secular
Plies t, 10 the psychotherapist who

Concluded Cole, "the central
problem of both Judaism and
Protestantism in their efforts to
minister to the sin-sick soul is that
they lack . . . the structured Insti-
tution of the Confessional. Both
of them are groping for techniques
to fill the need."

B-Ball Centennial
Planned For May
On May 15 and 16 Williams and
Amherst will commemorate the
centennial anniversary of the first
intercollegiate baseball game. The
celebration will include two regu-
lar season games lone on each
campus), a baseball dinner and
breakfast, and a replay of the
chess match which was held in
conjunction with the 1859 contest.
In addition. 13-man squads will
play a shortened version of the
original three-and-one-half hour
game which Amherst won 73-32 in
26 innings. The squads will be stu-
dent selected and trained. The
game will be played under the old
Massachusetts rules.
National manufacturers of
equipment have volunteered to
produce bats and balls similar to
those used in the 1859 contest. No
gloves, masks, chest protectors or
spikes were used.
Revue, Talks To Mark
Frosh Parents' Days
Freshman Parents' Day will be
held on Saturday, November 1.
Parents will register in the Stu-
dent Union on Friday afternoon.
Friday evening Williams alumnus,
baritone Jack Horner, will enter-
tain in Chapin Hall.
Parents and friends will be able
to attend Saturday morning clas-
ses and will be served a luncheon
in the Alumni House. The after-
noon's activities will include the
Williams-Norwich freshman foot-
ball game.
Banquet
After the annual banquet in the
Suudent Union William Cole, Dean
of Freshmen, will speak in Chapin
Hall. Ths evening finale will be the
rieshman Revue in the Adams
Memorial Theater. President Bax-
ter will lead a special chapel ser-
vice Sunday morning.
Last year 400 guests attended
this event. Due to the enormous
size of this year's freshman class
it is expected that attendance this
year will far surpass this figure.
Many Jobs Open For
Enterprising Students
In addition to being an educa-
tional institute Williams is a busy
employment office. Last year ac-
cording to the Office of Student
Aid, five hundred positions in over
fifty different job categories were
assigned to students.
Variety
The various departments at the
college offer a number of opportu-
nities for the enterprising student.
Jobs range from checking atten-
dance at classes to analyzing the
water in the swimming pool. Prob-
ably the most profitable job is at
the library in whose quiet recesses
students can earn over $2500.
Student-operated concessions
seem to offer the most profit dur-
ing the last year. Their popularity,
liowever, appears to lie in the fact
that the hours are more flexible
and the degree of association with
fellow students is greater.
Tire variety of merchandise of-
fered is staggering. Almost any ar-
ticle of clothing can be procured
from students on campus. Cotton
candy and a trip to Bermuda have
been offered in the past.
There are also opportunities for
talented students in the fields of
their interest. The AMT requires
the services of students to act as
guides and carpenters. For the
musically inclined, the Chapel em-
ploys two students to operate the
chimes every day.
Altogether, last year $22,300 was
earned by students with jobs simi-
lar to those mentioned. As of now
the Office of Student Aid has a
considerable back log of applicants
for positions.

THE TRUE AND HARROWING FACTS
ABOUT RUSHING
It is well enough to sit in one's Morris clmir and theorize about
sorority rusliing, but if one roiilly wislies to iiiiow tlie facts, one
must leave one's MorrLs clmir and go out into tlie field. My
Morris chair, incidentally, was given to nieby the makers of Philip
Morris. They also gave me my Pliili]) cliair. Tliey are great-
hearted folk, the makers of Pliilip Morris, as million.s of you
know who liave enjoyed their excellent cigar(!ttes. Only from
bountiful souls could come such mildness, sucli flavor, such
pleasure, as you will find in I'liilip JMorris ! For those who prefer
crushproof boxes, Philij) Morris is availal)lo in crushproof boxes.
For those who ])refcr soft packs, Pliilip iSIorris is available in
soft packs. For those who prefer to buy their cigarettes in bidk,
please contact Ennnett R. Sigafoos, friendly manager of our
factory in Richmond, Virginia.
But I digress. I was saying that in order to know the true
facts about sorority rushing, one nuist go into the field and in-
vestigate. Consequently, I went last week to the Indiana
College of Spot Welding and Belle.s-Lettres and interviewed
several million coeds, among them a lovely lass named Gerund
McKeever. (It is, incidentally, quite an interesting little story
about how she came to be named Gerund.) It .scorns that her
father, Ralph T. McKeever, loved grannnar belter than any-
thing in the world, and so ho named all his children after parts
of speech. In addition to Gerund, there were throe girls named
Preposition, Adverb, and Pronoun, and nrv boy named Dative
Case. The girls seemed not to be und\ily depressed by their
names, but Dative Case, alas, grew steadily more morose and
was finally found one night dangling from a ]iarticii)le. After
this tragic event, the father abandoned his |)ractice of gram-
matical nomenclature, and whatever children were subsequently
born to him— eight in all — were named I'^verett.
But I digress. I was interviewing a lovely coed named
Gerund McKeever. "Gerund," I said, "were you rushed by a
sorority?"
"Yes, mister," she said, "I was rushed by a sorority."
"Did they give you a higli-i)re.'<sure pitch?" 1 asked. "Did
they use the hard sell?"
"No, mister," she replied. "It was all done with quiet
dignity. They simjily talked to me al)ont the chapter and the
girls for about three minutes and then I pledged."
"My goodness!" I said. "Three minutes is not very long for
a sales talk I"
"It is when they are holding you under water, mister," said
Gerund.
K m Ml he ^iib Quiet disilth
"Well, Gerund," I said, "how do you like the house?"
"I like the house fine, mister," she rejilied. "But I don't live
there. Unfortunately, they pledged more girls than they have
room for, so they are sleeping some of us in the bell tower."
"Isn't that rather noisy?" I said.
"Only on the quarter-hour," said Gerund.
"Well, Gerund," I said, "it has certainly been a pleasure
talking to you," I said.
"Likewise, mister," she said, and with many a laugh and
cheer we went our separate ways -she to the campanile, I to
the Morris chair. c ibm m« shuimM

stiuad is in fine physical shape and
IS looking forward to this clash
;ls the objective game on its sche-
dule.
Power in Line
The strenKth of the Jumbos lies
i!i their interior Unemen. The
lackles, Fisher and Higgins, are of
only fair size but have good .speed
r.d are strong competitors. The
viards and center are the team's
.f.ongest assets. Andy Kerr is one
!)( the finest linemen in the East.
Us is supported by Zaleski and
.Mar.ihall, both are noted for their
|)eed and power. The ends are
n'id blockers but no real offen-
sive threat. They are slow on de-
fnse.
Problems in Backficld
Depth is the main problem in
[he backfield. Also the Jumbos
l:ick the excellent field general.s
!iiat they have had in the past,
lierzins, the team's top runner, is
. Ntremely powerful and fast foi-
.' 200-pounder. However, except
1(11- scatback Pox, the other backs
.■re slow. The defensive play of
the .secondary
problem.
Ephs Clash With Undefeated Tufts
is another large
So far Tufts' victories have been
characterized by vicious line play.
However, a slow secondary and
slow ends make the team vulner-
able to long gains. If the running
of Berzins and Pox is up to par,
and the passing of substitute
quarterback Levine surprises the
Williams secondary. Tufts should
win 20-15.
Soccer Prelim
Saturday, Wilhams will host a
weakened Springfield .soccer team
on Cole Field at 10:30. Springfield
was last yjar's NCAA champions
but they have lost two games so
far this year. The visitors are still
slight favorites, however.
Last year the Ephmen held
Springfield to two goals and lost
2-1 in an exciting game. Fresh
from an impressive win over Dart-
mouth 3-0 Tuesday, Coach Clar-
ence Chaffee will be looking for
his third win of the season. A
slightly revamped line-up should
increase Williams' chances for a
win.

UiKlctcatcd Tufts football sijiiad provides the opposition for Coach Len Waiters charges
Saturday afternoon on Weston field, in what eoiild ilecide the New iMigland siiiall collej^e sii-
premecy. Operating; without the ser\ices of (|naiterl)ack Gary Iliffi'ns, the riirple will attempt to
annex vietory nnnilxr lour at tlic e.\peiise of the visitinj^ Jumbos', before an expected large, house-
Jiarty audience.
lults will hold the <'(life ^oiiii^ into the eoiitest on the strength of their victory over Trinity,
who upset Williams in the open-
ing game. The big gun for Tufts
is expected to be 200-lb. fullback
Julius Borzins, a Latvian refugee,
who has wrecked all opposing lines
this fall. The other running threat
is right halfback Dave Fox. Small
at 160 lbs. he hits well on handoffs
up the middle and has blazing
speed to the outside. Quarterback
Tom Hanlon has not too much ex-
perience and throws little, relying
on Berzins and Fox to pick up
most of the yardage.
In the line the men to watch
will be Cahill, Tufts left end and
Fisher the left tackle. On the rare
occasions when the Jumbos do
pass the target will no doubt be
Cahill. He has good speed and ex-
cellent hands. Fisher is probably
the best tackle Williams has to
face this season. He is strong, fast
and with Cahill could make it
tough for Williams to hit off its
own right side. John Marshall is
also a good center, and will play
head on Williams right guard on
defense when Tufts uses its 6-3
defense.
With Higgins out of the lineup
having aggravated his "Charley
horse" in the Bowdoin game, Jim
Briggs will take over the signal
calling with John Whitney in re-
serve. On the basis of a sparkling
performance against Bowdoin, in
which he accounted for 174 yards
and two touchdowns. Bob Hatcher
will start for the Ephs in the full-
back slot.
Tufts meets Amherst next week
at Medford in a game that will be
crucial in deciding the favorite in
the traditional Williams-Amherst

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1958
Eph Booters Trample
Dartmouth Eleven, 3-0
The Williams varsity soccer team evened up its season's re-
cord Tuesday with an ini|)ressive 3-0 win over Dartmouth in Han-
over, N. H. Co-cajitain Mike Baring-Gould led a revitalized line
that out-shot and out-hustled a favored Indian team.
Baring-Gould Scores
Buck Captures Rochwood Trophy;
Botts Runner-Vp In College Tennis
Williams took command early
In the first quarter but was unable
Ut connect until Baring-Gould
pounded a bouncing ball past the
Big Green goalie with eighteen
minutes gone in the period. The
hard charging iiiside left of the
Ephs accounted for 11 of the
team's 30 shots in the game.
Dartmouth rallied in the second
quarter but the outstanding de
tensive play of goalie Bee DeMal
lie and the two Williams fullbacks
kept the home squad from scor
ing.
The Ephmen's second score
came at 8:08 of the third quarter
when sophomore Inside Pete Stan-
ton scored during a melee in front
of the Dartmouth goal.
Lineup Juggled
The Indians again came to life
late in the fourth quarter but
were stymied. As the timer began
his thirty second count-down at
the end of the game, Baring-
Gould gave center forward Carl
Doerge a long lead pass which Do-
erge crossed to left wing Ted
Hunting who put it In an open
goal to make it 3-0 Williams.
There were five newcomers to
the Eph attack in this game who
added to the victory. Zorin Cu-
pic stood out at right wing, Rick
Gilbert at left half, Pete Stanton,
who was switched from left wing
to inside right and Ted Hunting,
who replaced Toby Smith at left
wing when Smith was injured.

'62 Booters Tie,
Runners Triumph
Spike Kellogg took individual
nonors as the debuting Williams
ireshman cross country team eked
out a 26-29 victory over host Deer-
iield Monday.
The victory was a sweet one for
coach Tony Plansky. It marked the
first Williams triumph over Deer-
field in the series between the
schools which began five years a-
go.
Kellogg covered the 2 and one-
half mile course in the fine time
of 13:24. Finishing a strong
fourth was Jim Evans. The other
key Eph scorers were John Russ,
Simon Green and Harry Lee.
The freshman harriers open at
home tomorrow against a strong
Tufts squad.
Freshman Soccer Ties

G. Clyde Buck '61, won the
Rock wood Trophy Wednesday af-
ternoon by defeating John Botts
'62, in the finals of the annual
college tennis tournament, 6-4, 6-
2. Clarence Chaffee, tennis coach,
served as referee.
In reaching the finals, Buck de-
feated Ned Benedict, Bill Miller,
Kevin Morrissey, Graddy Johnson,
and Bob Mahland, while Botts put
out Dorian Bowman, John Lea-
thers, Bruce Brian, and Joe Tur-
ner. Buck has been ranked 4th in
the East and 29th in the country
as a junior. Both Buck and Botts
have played on the Junior Davis
Ciip team. Botts has been ranked
5th in the East and is currently
number 3 on the freshman team,
while Buck is now 2nd man on the
varsity roster.
First Set
The first set was very closely
contested, Buck, serving first, con-
centrated on Botts' backhand both
on service and on ground strokes

boot 21 goal kicks to 12 of its own

Offensively the Purple team
opened hard, keeping the ball at
the Green end for minutes at a
time. Little shooting was done,
however, and the home team
s'.arted rolling in the second half,
getting off 7 of their 9 shots.

during the match. His serve, exe-
cuted with some degree of topspin,
was effective throughout the mat-
cli in keeping his opponent on the
baseline. Botts' plan of strategy
consisted of deep shots to Buck's
forehand mixed up with short drop
shots to draw him into net and
keep him off balance. He played
more aggressively in this set than
did Buck, but the latter's speed
afoot and his .sense of anticipa-
tion brought him out on top, 6-4.
Second Set
Both men played more forceful
tennis in the second set, and the
caliber of play improved. Hitting

and coming to the net. Buck .scor-
ed repeatedly with crosscourt fore-
hand volleys. The best single point
of the match occurred at 0-30 in

which both players made seeming-
ly impossible "saves" ended when
Botts lobbed over Buck's head at
the net. The score of the final
set was 6-2.

It was dark in the little sleeping bag. Miguel pulled ofT
one boot. He pulled off the other boot. His mind was on
the beer. Not far off, the colorful toros were strumming
on their niuchachos. The wind was restless in the trees.
He thought of the beer.
"I will have the Schaefer now. The beer."
Teresa brought it to him. She watched him drink
la cerveza real-the real beer. "sQue tal?" she said. She
was blushing.
"It goes well. It is of the palate. It is of the throat. The
Schaefer beer is buetia."
"Is it round?"
"It is round."
"What does 'round' mean?" She
was afraid he would think her
a fool.
"You are a fool," he said. "It is
the word of the expertos— the
experts. It means a smooth har-
mony of flavors. No rough
edges."
"The Schaefer is round," she smiled.
"It is your kind of beer, mi vida," he said.
"It is your kind of beer, dumbkopf," she said.
"It is our kind of beer. Todos los dias."
They were quiet thinking of the Schaefer. Somewhere
the conquistadores began to sing softly. The time of the
Schaefer was a good time.

Other damage to the college appeared around the Held where

Newman Club To Hold
Lectures Each Week
The Williams College Newman
Club has announced that it is in-
augurating a series of weekly lec-

Understanding" to be given by the
Rev. Francis Donohue.
"The series will be aimed at giv-
ing the Catholic student at Wil-

of his faith, with emphasis on the
intellectual side of the religion,"
explained Jim Rayhill '59, presi-
dent of the club. The lectures will
be given each Thursday evening at
7:30 In 3 Griffin Hall.
Father Donohue is currently
teaching at the Carmelite Semina-
ry in Williamstown. He received
hLS B.A. and M.A. at Catholic Uni-
versity in Wa.shington, D. C. He
has also studied at the Pontifical]

TR's Leadership
"There came," to Theodore Roo-
sevelt, "a stream of what less in-
telligent Republicans have called
eggheads'," said Professor John
Morton Blum of Yale in a lecture
on Theodore Roosevelt Monday
evening.
Roosevelt, said Blum, was "an
intellectual and proud of it" and
this he believes should be one of
the fundamental attributes of a
president. With intellectualism
Blum described other characteris-
tics a good president should have.
Among these are the ability to see
problems clearly and to define
them for the people, the ability
to pick and trust able officials
and administrators, a knowledge
and love of politics, a sense of
mission, and last and perhaps
most important he must have a
"Joy in power and its obligations."
Joy in Power
In his "joy in power" Roosevelt
"gladly assumed responsibilities
modern presidents have slighted at
the peril of the nation." The pre-
sident, Blum emphasized, mu.st
first make up his own mind or
the issues and then guide his pro
posals through the legislativj
gauntlet. The real test of a presl
dent, however, is administratio:
which Roosevelt "effected surpass^
.ngly well", both in his choice o:
policies and in his choice of men
to administer those policies.
In response to a question of whe-
ther a president should campaign
for his party in an "off-year",
Blum replied that he believed that
he definitely should. "Roosevelt",
said Blum, "understood, as every
good president must, that without

Beetles breeding in the elms car-
ry the disease from tree to tree.
Often a single tree may contain
up to one million beetles.
According to Robert McCarthy,
Williamstown tree warden, the
most acute problem confronting
his workers is the lack of control
areas surrounding the Williams
town area. The trees in town are
menaced by ones outside the im
mediate control area over which
his men have no jurisdiction.
Partial Solution
There are many methods of
combating the blight, reports Mc-
Carthy; but so far the beetles have
held the upper hand. The most
effective cure is to spray the trees
three to four times a season. If a
diseased tree is spotted early
enough, D.D.T. will kill the beetles.
Scientists have been experiment-
ing with various chemicals and
have saved some trees.

Jazz Ambassador
Hi/ joliii Richardson
In a Saturday iiit^lit iiitcivicw, Liom-l IIain|5toii, "tlio kin^
ol the vibes", waxed eiitluisialic on the subject ot tlie band's Uiyi
to Europe this s|)rint;. The j^roup went over in December ot 1957
and returned in April ol this year. Tliey played almost all ol
Western and ci'ntral Kurope, the Seaiidinaxian coinitries, and also
journeyed to the East and did a stand in Israel. "Tlii'v (Europeans)
responded terrific, reallv terrific", said Hampton, tappiuff out a
few notes on the vibes in a preoccupied nianni'r. "You see, I
haven't played this tiling in four days", he said by way of ex-
planation of his mood.
The band followed in the h)otsteps of Louis Armstrong's
earlier trip and Hampton said that jaz/, espi'cially American jazz,
is lieeomin^ famous in Euro)5e. "The people are real j^reat to
all American performers and thev applaud something ania/int;",
commented Hampton.
DcCdiillc lidckcrs
Hampton said that the group had such tremendous success in
Europe last spring that thev will he going back this Februaiv for
an undetermined stav. The interesting part of this coming tri|) is
that General DeCaulle's |)olitical supporters are hooking the
gron|5 all over Eiuope.
ilanijiton, who appeari'd in "The Bennv Cioodman Stor\'",
is going to have the story of bis lifi' filmed by Columbia Pictures
sometime within a year or two. When askt'd about the unsettled
filming date, he said, "Man, I just don't ha\e time!"
Hampton took up the \ibes wlii'n he was about si.xteen, having
learned the driuns before then. He played as a drummer in Louis
Armstrong's hand and it was in 1941 that he |5aited ways with
Benny Goodman's band to form his own group, which he has had
ever since.

hi the interest of conijiarison, various for-
eign students on the campus this year have offer-
ee! random eoinnients on thi' corresponding pro-
blems of politics, news, and ])0|iiilace of their
native lands. The HECIORD will publish their
views in a continuation series.
Varied Circttnistimces
Geography, tradition, nature of party sys-
tems, nature of .social life and recent history are
among influences to be noted in the followhig
and coming remarks.
Alberto Passi'^li-Itidii: "Politics is more a
part of the European way of life than it is in
.'Vmeriea. This is to a large degree because the U.
S. is geog;raphically isolated unlike the Emopean
mitions, who, being so close have always nurtur-
ed national feelings, have constantly had to look
at other countries in relation to their own. And
this results in a desire to read the papers and
know what is f^oing on.
The poor jieople in Italy are specifically
eoncernetl with ])olitics because they want to
li\e in a better way after seeing the differences
betwei'n their masttus and them. The Com-
munist Party which is considerable gets most
supjjort from them.
Vatican and Politics
The middle class is related to the Socialists
but more actively to the Christian Democrats.

Tufts rcc't'i\t'tl die o|)eiiinn kickoff, but was forcctl to piiiit as
the murderous Williams forward wall stoppcil them cold. I3ick
l..('\iiu''s |)unt rolled dead on the Williams 2() \'ard line. Ide took
the handoff from |iin Brif^j^s, cut to his left in the secondaiN' and
then streaked for Williams' first
score.
After Tufts held pos.session for
only three plays Williams started
moving from their own 40 with Ide
and fullback Bob Hatcher doing
most of the carrying. With the
ball on the Tufts 7, Rorke slipped
around left end for a score and
Listerman's kick made it 13-0.
An exchange of punts gave Tufts
the ball. The Jumbos picked up
one first down, then Rorke picked
ofl a pass from Hanlon and ran
it to the Tufts 28 yard line. Two
plays later Ide registered his sec-
ond around right end TD from 20
yards out.
Iledeman TD
With less than 6 minutes to go
in the first half tackle Bill Hede-
man gathered in a Tufts aerial and
stomped 70 yards for Williams'
fourth touchdown. Unable to do
anything right in the first half.
Tufts fumbled on the first play
after receiving the kickoff and
Rich Kagen bounced on it for
Williams. A pass from Briggs to
Dan Fanning set the ball on Tufts'
eighteen. Briggs then kept for
nine yards and Rorke carried
around his left side for 6 more
points, with 3:40 remaining in the
half.
In the second half Tufts was a
different ball club, but the damage
was done. Bob McLucas sparked a
72 yard march for the visitors to
open the second half of play and
scored his team's only touchdown
from the Williams 28 yard line.
Juris Berzins added two points on
a rush. The purple were held in
check over most of the remaining
route, but in the fourth quarter
Rorke started around his left end
and tossed to Kagan waiting in
he corner of the end zone.
Ide was the top ground gainer
with 176 yards on 13 tries.

Williams Bridge Club
Gains National Status
Bii Johit Good
Those cynics who don't hcHcve that CJliailcs Corcu has had
as swcejiine an inlUuMicc on WiUianis Collcjfc students as pro-
fessor Freck-rick L. Schunian should walk into the upper class

they will find forty undergradu-
ates not discussing the merits of
recognizing Red China, but happi-
ly I or unhappily) counting tricks
in the weekly duplicate bridge
tournament.
"To Have Some Fun"
The "Wednesday night dupli-
cate" is a program sponsored by
the Williams Bridge Club. The
club was conceived last year to
improve the level of bridge playing
at Williams and also, says Bridge
Club vice-president Dave Zurn,
"to have some fun." Since last
spring when the idea became a
reality, some sixty students have
paid a dollar to join the Williams
chapter of the Goren fraternity
National Organization
The club is a member of the
American Contract Bridge League
which is probably larger and more
powerful "national" than any of
those with which Williams greek
letter societies are affiliated. The
local bridge club is authorized by
the national organization to give
master points, which leads to na-
tional ranking for each bridge
player.
The club's plans for the coming
year, according to president Dick
Content, include a few matches
with other colleges in the area,
the weekly duplicate tournaments,
an intramural bridge tournament,
and a "clarity duplicate", the re-
ceipt.s of which will go to service
organizations. In addition, the club
is now laying the ground work for
a big intercollegiate tournament
with several colleges competing at
Williams this spring.

Overweight Eight
Makes Recording
The Overweight Eight, — a
nine-man "octet" composed of Ju-
niors — is the first Williams vocal
group to make a record with a
major recording company.
Recorded in hi-fi at R.C.A.'s
New York studio, the record fea-
tures a selection of the group's best
liked arrangements, including
three 'Williams songs.
Recording Session
The record was made soon after
exams last year. To prepare for the
recording session, the group re-
hearsed four straight days. Tlie ac-
tual recording took six hours and
was split up into two sessions on
Monday to avoid voice strain.
Business manager Dick Gallop
said that making the recording at
the R.C.A. studio was a big thrill
for the group. 'While they were
there they met such stars as 'Van
Cliburn, Phil Harris and Lena
Home.
Expansion
Gallop also noted that the group
is planning to take in some new
members in order to make itself
self-perpetuating.
New singers will .loin as alter-
nate members. Gallop .said. As they
improve and learn the arrange-
ments, they will gradually be used
as substitutes for the regular
members.

'Egghead' Vs. 'Man Of The People';
Burns And Conte In First District
PRICE 10 CENTS
In this, the First Concessional
District of Massachusetts, two new
laces have appeared on tlie poli-
tical scene to battle it out for a
seat in the House of Repre.senta-
lives. The contest .so far has boiled
down to a personal battle between
Silvio O. ("man of the people" i
Conte and James M. i "egghead" i
Burns,
Although Conte is generally fa-
vored because of the fact that this
district is a Republican strong-
hold. Burns' chances have been
improving rapidly on the proba-
bility of a Democratic landslide
in the state. Pre-election predic-
tions give Burns a slight edge in
a tight race.
Conte
Conte, who studied law at Bos-
ton College, has been practicing
in Pittsfield, He has served as
State Senator for the last eight
years and has been chairman of
several committees. It is upon his
Senate record that Conte is bas-
ing his campaign.
According to the Republican
candidate the state legislature is
a good testing ground for nation-
al politics: "Except for foreign af-
fairs most of the problems en-
countered by a neophyte Congress-
man differ from those in the le-
gislature only in degree". Criti-
cizing Burns lie asserts, "There is
no substitute for experience in pol-
itics".
Burns
This is Burns' first experience in
practical politics, but he has had
contact with the field through his
studies as Professor of Political
Science at Williams and as a ,
member of several government {
commissions. Unlike Conte he has i
PROFESSOR BURNS
running strong
made firm stands on many local
as well as national issues.
Education, Burns feels, "is the
biggest long-term problem facing
Americans at home. Our country
generally, and Ma.ssachusetts es-
pecially must expand educational
opportunity for all". In accomp-
lishing his aim. Burns favors both
a scholarship and a school con-
struction bill.
Burns' overall interest lies in
what he calls the "abiding prob-
lem of peace". For him our abili-
ty to maintain peace depends di-
rectly on our ability to deter at-
tack by maintenance of an effec-
tive strategic bombing force until
long-range mi.ssiles are available.
In addition he advocates "careful-
ly drawn disarmament agreements
that call for full inspection".
Students File Petition
For Gul Referendum
College Council president Jack
Hyland reported today that he had
received a petition signed by 123
undergraduates demanding a ref-
orendum on receni CC action to
-nake subscription to the Gul com-
PuLsory with a $(1.05 tax levied on
every college student.
The petition wa.s criculated by
seniors Paul Hamilton and Bob
Behr, and will now be referred to
the CC Rules and Nominations
Committee for referendum pro-
cedure.
The Gul lax has also precipitat-
ed campus debate on reorganiza-
tion of student government, key-
noted by a recent letter to the
RECORD signed by twelve house
presidents urging reversion to the
unicameral Undergraduate Coun-
cil system.
New Library Hours
Beginning this Sunday, No-
vember 2, the Stetson Library
stacks will remain open until
11 p.m. each evening except
Saturday, when the library will
c'.ose at 5 o'clock instead of 6.
This action was taken at the
request of the Gargoyle Soci-
ety, operating in answer to stu-
dent desires for extended li-
brary privileges. According to
Gargoyle President Len Grey
'59, the change is intended to
r^iVc studciits more tiiiic for li-
brary research and general
study.

Off' YearDem Gains Predicted On
Recession^ Foreign Policy Issues
Bi/ Toby Sinilli
More often than not it has been the fate of tlu' party in tlu' White flouse to fijflit an underclop;
li^ht in the off-year elections. Election day 1958 will settle the foremost (piestion in current |K)liti-
lal discussion— will tlie deinociats sweej} the nation or will the belated Repnblican cainiiaif^n stem
(he tide?
There are thirty-three seats
week before the elections, most
diet a significant victory for the
Democrats. Led by Republican re-
versals in the farm belt and some
Eastern states, the Democrats
could conceivably Increase their
lead in the Senate to eighteen
58-40) and to ninety-six in the
House, (266-170). If these predic-
lions come true it would surely
imt Eisenhower on the run during
the remainder of his White House
term.
National Issues
On the national scene there are
two main issues that have occu-
pied the forefront of political de-
bate— the recession and foreign
policy. Sides have been sharply
taken by both parties on the prob-
lem of economic recession. The
Democrats stress the guilt of the
administration and the continued
unemployment of four million
workers. The president and his
party have attempted to show that
the Republicans brought the coun-
l-ry out of the recession, emphasiz-
ing high wage levels and antici-
pated high prosperity.
In debating the recession, the
Republicans are at a disadvantage,

Campaign In Four Important States
By Josepii Wlieelock
In the 1958 elections coming up
Tuesday, four states are leading
the way with very important sen-
atorial contests. Coupled with the
race for the Senate in these states
are decisive gubernatorial contests
that could very well set the tone
for the 1960 presidential election.
NEW YORK
Running for Senator on the
Democratic ticket in New York is
five-term New York County Dis-
trict Attorney Frank Hogan, pro-
tege of Tammany Hall Boss Car-
mine DeSapio. Hogan appears to
be well ahead of Republican oppo-
nent Kenneth Keating, though the
latter should roll up a large plur-
ality on the upstate vote.
At issue here is a Republican
charge of Tammany bossism in
nominating Hogan. The Republi-
cans well realize that victory will
have to lie in the City vote— a per-
ennial Democratic and DeSapio
stronghold. Although all but about
four or five upstate districts will
probably plunk for Keating, Ho-
gan can easily reverse this deci-
sion with the Big City vote des-
pite the charges of Tammany in-
fluence.
Rockefeller - Harriman
Involved in a tighter race in
New York State are the two mul-
ti-millionaire candidates for Gov-
ernor—Republican Nelson A. Ro-
ckefeller and Democratic incum-
bent Averell Harriman. One of the
perplexing things about the con-
test between these two men is, that
in the nation's most populated and
richest state, beset by serious prob-
lems of race conflict, metropoli-
tan strangulation, and soaring
budget, they have been unable to
find any really important differ-
ences of opinion.
The gubernatorial election will
be decided not on issues but on
the characters of the two men
and the success of their respective
parties on a state and nation-
wide scale. Harriman began his
campaign as a definite favorite
but received one of the major po-
litical setbacks of his career at
the State Convention in August

Kennedy Counts On Landslide Vote;
National Issues Ignored In Mass.
By Stu Levy
The electorate of Massachusetts,
according to party leaders, can-
didates, and newspaper editors,
are not concerned with national
issues in this off-year election.
Of prime importance among vo-
ters is the fact that the new legis-
lature elected on Tuesday will have
to change the setup of Congress-
ional districts during its next ses-
sion. This redistricting, according
to the 1960 census, will probably
mean a loss of two of Massachu-
setts' 14 seats in the House of Rep-
resentatives. If one party manages
to gain control of both nou;;es in
the state legLslature, it will be in
a position to gerrymander the dis-
tricts.
Kennedy
Against this background is be-
ing waged the all important battle
for a Senate seat between incum-
bent John F. Kennedy and little-
known Republican candidate Vin-
cent J. Celeste. Senator Kennedy's
victory in the contest, is, of course,
axiomatic, but the important ques-
tion is whether he can poll a large
enough plurality to make him a
solid choice for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1960.
Celeste, a Boston lawyer, has
done very little to build up any
kind of effective opposition to
Kennedy's expected landslide. His
platform seems to rest on the fact
that he is "running for United
States Senator against that mil-
lionaire Jack Kennedy". On the
other hand. Celeste seems to be
in the unenviable position of
merely trying to stem the Demo-
cratic vote from reaching mam-
mouth proportions and has little
hope of coming out on top even if
a Republican trend should happen
to get underway.
Gibbons-Furculo
The race for governor pits in-
cumbent Poster Furculo against
state legislator. Republican Char-
les Gibbons. This may be a closer
contest than the senatorial elec-
tion, but here also the Democratic
officeholder is favored.
The key issue in this guberna-
torial campaign is that of consti-
tutional revision. Both men advo-
cate a constitutional convention
for this purpose: Gibbons, howev-
er, declares that "unless there is
wide public interest in a conven-
tion", it will be a waste of time
and money. In front of such a
convention would be proposals for
4-year terms for constitutional
officers, a revision of the tax
structure, and reorganization of
the state departments.
Other Issues
Also under consideration in this
election according to Gibbons are
the problem of unemployment, de-
cency in government, and educa-
tional opportunity. Furculo, mean-
while, cites the need for an expan-
sion of industrial and commei-cial
potential linked to the need for
some reduction in property taxes.
He also points to the question of
the future of the city of Boston.
The state capitol. according to the
Governor, is in a situation that
can only be described as "dread-
ful".

We 'B' For Burns
Jim Burns has waged a loiit^, upliill battle
for a seat in the U. S. Mouse of Re|)reseiitatives.
The cam])aign has boiled down to a contest be-
tween experience and enhf^litenment, or even
more bluntly, between an "Egghead" and a
"man of the people". Despite Mr. Conte's record
of achievement as a State Senator, the RECORD
feels tliat Mr. Burns would be far more effective
as a representative in Washinnton. Not only is
he learned and enlightened on issues of nation-
al importance, hut his attitude in the eanipaigu
demonstrates a sincere interest in ser\in)^ the
people of the Massachusetts 1st Congressional
District. The RECC3RD firmly endorses the
eaiulidacy of Jim Burns.
WE OUTLOOK
This week finds Americans of all deserijj-
tions fighting for the right to re|5reseiit other
Americans in their local, state and national gov-
eniments. in the final gasps of the campaign
the tiaditioiial staples of polities (speech-making,
llag-wa\ing, hand-shaking and baby-kissing) are
being outmoded by T\' apjieals, singing com-
mercials and even sky writing. Hut beyond the
maze of publicity stunts and slogans, it seems
clear that Americans are anything but pleased
with the state of the nation.
The Democrats have studiously heeded \r,u-
ty mentor Harry Truman's warinng about "Dew-
ey-itis", attacking the G.O.P. with a degree of
\igor and persuasiveness imfaniiliar in recent
campaigns. Aside from the issues, tin' Democrats
also have the manpower. Men like KennecV, hil>-
icoff, McC^artby and Brown j^ossess vote-getting
abilities large!)' mnnatehed in Republican ranks.
They are yoinig, determined and eidightened,
and with Anu'ricans increasingly ijersonality—
rather than party-minded, diey could easily key-
note the future of American political affairs.
Republicans, on the odier hand, have suf-
fer from the absence of determined leadership
from the White House. The controversial Mr.
Nixon has tried to fill the gaji but his success
has been marred by damaging internal conflicts
like the Knight-Knowland fiasco in California.
Further, G. O. P. |)ers()imel has faltered in die
off-year, with a lone exce|)tion in the person of
Nelson Rockefeller.
The outlook? A Democratic tidal wave.
National Election Scene . . .
their attacks with local conditions. Here in west-
ern Massachusetts, for e,\ain|5le, North Adams is
a thorn in the side of the Republican campaign,
whereas the overall e^conomic pictiue is good. By
making the recession a local issue Democrats
could gam substantially against a \ulnerable Re-
publican position.
Foreign policy is not so nuich an issue in
itself. But in recent weeks a devastating break in
Republican ranks has arisen over the question
of whether or not it should be brought into the
campaign at all. The dispute has involved Nix-
on and Ike with a few furtive rumblings from
Dulles. Ni.\on has wanted to del)ate foreign poli-
cy in answer to Democratic attacks, but Eisen-
hower has wanted to keep it out of partisan dis-
cussion altogether. Last week there were open
disagreements between the Republican leaders
and some fast talking to patch up the hole. The
issue will probably be most solidly felt in Cali-
fornia, Ni.xon's home state.
Leadersliip
The dispute over the issue of foreign policy
brings up one of the "corollary" issues: that of
presidential leadership. Newsweek cites the feel-
ing among a number of jiolitical commentators
that there is a predominate air of uneasiness
throughout the voting population, and that this
intangible factor is based on a disillusionment
with the way Ike is being run by his party and
the vice-president. Such an intangible can be
dangerous to a party with its back against the
wall, but Eisenhower's nationwide trip .should
lessen its effect.
Other factors that ajipear on the national
scene in addition to the recession and Republican
disharmony are civil rights, the Quemoy crisis,
Ike's stand in Lebanon, Sherman Adams, and
the "Right-to-Work Laws". The last item in-
\()l\es Senator Kuowland who is the only can-
didate that has brovight the issue out on to the
national rostnun against the better wishes of
his party. The laws, however, are hot issues in
fi\e states. Sherman Adams is what is commonly
called a "red herring", a jiroblem to invoke leng-
div debate to no real consequences. Civil rights
and integration become important in local voting
where the Negro is concerned, but most candi-
dates shy away from widely published state-
ments.
The se|)arate camjiaigns conducted by both
parties have been vigorous and lively. Rejiubli-
ean National Chairman Meade Alcorn and Dem-
ocratic National Chairman Paul Butler have
been digging at each other while President Tru-
man seems as active as he was in 1948. Even
Acheson is being dragged up again.
State Issues
Most important in the whole campaign are
the desires of the voters. Eisenhower found that
on his western swing audiences were more in-
terested in state issues but Ike talked on national
and foreign issues. 1958 has seen the retiu-n to
the type of eamiiaign in which each candidate
must sell himself to his voters. There is no Eis-
enhower to carry the Republican ticket, but
there are ]ilenty of strong state and local Demo-
crats who will most likely be responsible for a
Democratic victory.
Galhqi ]5()11 figures cite 60 per cent of the
white collar workers, 49 ]5er cent of the business
and ]irolessional citizens and 54 |)er cent of the
I farmers are voting Democratic. This is a sub-
j stantial shift from the ]5residential year. One
• thing is also certain: organized labor is playing
I a major part in the selection and seems to be
I solidly in the Democratic camp.

HIGHWAY
It was a time of great unrest and movement all across
the land, and I was of it and in it and on it and with it.
My sonnet was half finished; my soul was a traffic light
turning from red to green. It was the time, and I packed
a toothbrush and a comb and a cold can of Schaefer
beer, and I went to my mother's side.
"I got to go, Dad," I said, kissing her, digging her, all
choked up with love and Zen and a mouthful of popcorn
to go with the beer. "Sam is giving me a big party, and
then I got to qo." Sam was my friend and he was hip
and I called him Sam,
The swinging Sam gave for me was wnld, icy, far out.
Nobody moved for hours. We sat on the floor, looking
inward, Zenward, sipping our good gold Schaefer brew.
Suddenly the door swung open, and a bearded, haunted,
serene face appeared, and it was a poet and he had been
out there everywhere and he had dug it all and he was
back. He kneiv, man, he knew it and we knew it, that he
knew. He was crammed full of Zen-wisdom and his eyes
were wise and wild and his whole body was bandaged.
He was beat.
"Do you know why Schaefer is
your kind of beer?" he asked us.
"Because it's round, Dad. That
means a smooth harmony of
flavors. It's round, man, and it's
your kind of beer because no-
body here is a square!"
So, out of nowhere, I had the word, and the word
was round. It was the time, and I set off along quiet
streets— past the football field, looking for kicks; past
country gardens, digging the carrots and onions; and
then ahead of me I saw the curving, calling, mystic,
roaring highway. And it was the time, and Schaefer
was my kind of beer, and I was gone.

against a powerful squad from
Norwich University in Vermont.
Still handicapped by an unusu-
ally large number of injuries,
Coach Bill McHenry will start
Rawson Gordon and Charley
Wales at ends, 240-pound Sel
Whitaker and 230-pound Stu My-

by George Rogers and Mike Hope-
well at halfbacks and Pete Cot-
ton at fullback.
Left halfback Chip Ide's five
game total is 648 yards gained
on 70 carries. This is an aver-
age of 9.3 yards per carry and
establishes him unofficially, as
the leading ground gainer in
the nation. Dick Bass of the

and will throw long. Hayward, a
sophomore, likes to keep on the
option play and is a gambler who
will try anything. Pike is probably.
Union's best back and can run
well to the right when he can get

Sandy Smith will be at left end

when Tammany's DeSapio brazen-
ly disregarded the governor's
wishes and got his own candidate
(Hogan) nominated for the Sen-
ate election.
Meanwhile Rocicefeller has con-
tinued his round of whirlwind
tours, impressing many voters as
good "new blood" for the gover-
norship. So successful has this
pliilanthropist's (the Rockefeller
charities are worth over $1 bil-
lion) been, that the New York
Times has recently reported an
even-odds race between the two
men with Rockefeller slightly a-

in New York State.
CONNECTICUT
In Connecticut the senatorial
contest sees Republican incumbent
William Purtell pitted against ex-
FBI man Thomas J. Dodd. Pur-
tell. an Eisenhower man, points
to his voting record and hits hard
at union bossism; Dodd, who was
nominated last June without the
support of the state party organi-
zation, has strong labor backing.
The most important factor in
the Senatorial election could be
the tremendous personal following
of Abe ("so much better than any
one else in sight") Ribicoff, who is
also up for re-election to the gov-
ernorship this year. Ribicoff's op-
ponent is Republican Fred R. Zel-
ler, 59-year old state controller,
whose nomination last June split
the party.
Candidates Unknown
One of the interesting things a-
bout the Connecticut elections is
that Ribicoff is the only candi-
date that the voters seem to know.
According to a Hartford cabbie;
"Well, Ribicoff is running against
some Dadarius, a Greek, I guess.
No, wait a minute — it's a fella by
the name of Purtell. I think he's
been a Senator down there some-
time . . . Oh, Zeller? Well, he's a
big business man. I forgot what
he's running for. Me? I've lived
here all my life. I know these parts
inside and out." It will be no con-
test in Connecticut.

alienated most of his union back-
ing. Brown took advantage of this
and of the Knowland-Knight fra-
cas over the gubernatorial candi-
dature and piled up an amazing
662.000 vote majority over his op-
ponent in the June primaries.
Since this time his popularity has
been growing steadily.
Riding behind this surge by
Brown is northern California con-
gressman Engle, who, at the latest
poll results, seems to be well in the
lead over Governor Knight for the
Senate .seat. It will be an invalu-
able Democratic victory in the
Golden Gate state.
PENNSYLVANIA
The situation in Pennsylvania
finds Democratic Governor George
M. Leader running against Con-
gressman Hugh D. ("I was born
a conservative and have become
increasingly liberal") Scott in the
senatorial campaign. The gover-
norship is also being contested by
Pittsburgh Mayor David L. Law-
erence and Republican pretzel
manufacturer Arthur T. McGon-
igle.
For depression and unemploy-
ment-ridden Pennsylvania this is
an election of the utmost signifi-
cance. About 10 to 25 per cent of
the laboring force in the state is
now out of work, particularly in
the steel industry. Voting opinion
at this time tends to blame this
on the Republican administration
in Washington and not on Lead-
er's state administration.
Blame Administration
Scott and McGonigle have been
constantly hitting the Democrats
for corruption in the state ad-
ministration. Pennsylvania, how-
ever, is not as cognizant of this
as it is of the brutal facts of un-
employment. In the words of a
Pittsburgh steelworker, "When the
Republicans are in there is un-
employment, when the Democrats
are in there are jobs".
On the other hand Leader de-
finitely lacks newspaper support
and has antagonized both voters
and fellow Democrats by trying to
push through a state wage tax.
The question is how heavily the
depression will weigh in the out-
come. Right now it looks like a
probable Lawrence landslide with
Leader coming in on his coattails.

Castle Proposal
Castle
Asks
A detailed and lengthy discus-
,sion of the proposaLs made by F.
C. Castle '60, isee col. 5i took
place. A number of the member.s
of the Council took the po.sition
that a group such as the CC .should
bL' able to pass IcKi-slation to which
the Social Council or the College
us a whole would object. It was
felt that there is a definite prob-
lem in explaining the i.s.sues in any
given question to a constituency
which largely has no particular in-
terest in the question.
Present to discu.ss his proposal
with the members. Castle a.sserted
that if the students are not iuter-
, ■; ed in issues which the CC feels
LJ !ji? vital, the fault lies not with
Lie students but with the leader-
ship of members of the College
Uuuncil in their respective clas-
ses. He said that the basis of his
proposal is that the student gov-
ernment cannot legally enact le-
gislation with which a majority of
the student body disagrees.
Rorke '60, chairman of the Com-
iiiiitee on Constitutional Revision
leported that his committee fav-
ored the proposal as the answer
to many of the problems of stu-
d-'iil government at Williams. He
reported that the panel will be
held Wednesday Nov. 12 at 10 p.m.
in the Uppeiclass Lounge of Bax-
ter Hall.
Leaders Discuss
^Hof Gov't Issue
Two weeks ago, twelve of the
fifteen house presidents in a let-
ter to the Editor of the RECORD
proposed the establishment of a
more representative undergradu-
ate council to replace the CC &
SC. Since then thei-e have been
the.se developments:
The RECORD has come out
strongly against the proposal.
Both the RECORD and Dean
Brooks have made suggestions as
to how the present system could
be improved from within.
Further evidence of an unrepre-
sentative council has been given
by the circulation of a petition
for referendum on the Oul tax
which was recently passed by the
CC.
This week five of the twelve
men who signed the letter were
interviewed again. Their comments
vere these.
Packard. Wydick, Klein
Jerry Packard - "My position is
unchanged. The proposal still has
my unqualified support. It would
help an awful lot to bring the fra-
ternities back into the college sys-
tem so the college could get more
from them. Unfortunately, the Oul
referendum detracts from the
main problem. If the tax proposal
had gotten past the SC, it would
have gone through without so
much opposition."

Graduate School Opportunities Rise
For Ephmen At Home And Abroad
In choosing his future vocation
the Williams senior has a wide
range of opportunities in both
busuiess and graduate study. There
are, in addition to opportunities
in this country, wide-ranging pos-
sibilities for study abroad.
The Placement Bureau under
the direction of Manton Copeland
'39, has compiled data sliowing
where opportunities for the Wil-
liams student lie. This data, as
Panei Predicts Large
Vote For Democrats
Monday, on the eve of the na-
tional elections, ttie Adelphic Un-
ion held a panel discussion in Je-
sup Hall to take up the issues of
Uie vai'ious contests and predict
ine overall outcome.
Tire moderator. Professor Ker-
mit Gordon kept up a lively pace
between the two Democratic rep-
resentatives, Frank Johnson '59,
and Professor MacAlister Brown,
and the two Republicans, Mike
Dively '61, and Richard Hunter,
Chairman of the Williamstown
Republican Committee.
At the outset of the discussion
Mr. Hunter .stated. "Whatever we
I the Republicans! win tomorrow
will be a gain". The average gain
for the Democrats predicted was
9-1.^ seats in the Senate. 35-45
seats in the Hou.se and a possible
gam of two governors.
Recession The National Issue
Both sides tended toward mod-
eration in their discussion of the
issues. Profes.sor Brown stated
that "the only real national i.ssue
in the country is the recession".
Mr. Hunter raised the issue of
the appearance of the "right-to-
work" laws on the ballots in six
states. Frank John.son commented
that, in addition, this issue had
mobilized the labor force to un-
precedented proportions.
Professor Gordon then turned
the group to the state races, in
particular the races in New Yoi'k
and Massachusetts. The two Re-
publican speakers both agreed
that Rockefeller would win and
that a win would give him a shot
at the Republican nomination in
1960.
Burns vs. Conte
More partisan views were taken
on the Burns-Conte race for the
House. Mr. Hunter emphasized the
advantage Conte had through his
office of State Senator but Fiank
Johnson countered by saying "No
matter how long he (Senator Con-
te) spends in the libraries trying
to find out about foreign policy,
he will never compare with Pro-
fessor Burns in this area."
Proposal
CC-SC Compromise
.\ plan to e(|uali/,e the powei' of the Colleire Council and the Social Council in the aieas where
they base overlapping jurisdiction and in the areas where thev disaiiree was iireseiitcd to the CC
and the SC in their meetings this week. F. C. Castle, jr. YiO author ol the pioposal stated in ]iis
prelace to the plan, "The purpose of these points loi' revision of student iroxerniiient at VVillianis
IS basically to allow that every student will be icpreseutcd as accmatelv as |)ossil)le."
The major change in the Con-
stitution which Castle proposes
involves the Constitutional estab-
lishment of channels by which the
two Councils can work together.
It one body disagrees with an ac-
tion of the other, it can vote to
have the problem reconsidered by
the Council in which it originated.
If the otlier group continues to
disagree, the question will be set-
tled by a referendum.
Tlie plan establishes three areas
ill vvlrich botli Councils must pass
for legislation to be effective.
The.se are; (ai appropriations of
funds from the all-college tax
fund: ibi all bills involving a
monetary tax of the student body:
ici measures requiring or request-
ing the cooperation of the entire
student body.
given in the Bureau's annual re-
port for 1957-1958, showed thai
as of June 1958, 57 per cent of
the cla.ss of 1958 was planning to
go directly on to further study at
the graduate level.
This compares very favorably
with the estimated 42 per cent for
the class of 1957. Neither figure
takes into account tlio.se men who
may return to graduate school af-
ter serving a term in the armed
forces.
Chaiifiing: References
Of the graduate school group in
the class of 1957 roughly 60 per
cent entered law, business, or me-
dical schools. These traditional
fields took only 50 per cent of
a larger graduate school segment
for the class of 1958.
Work in specific subjects took
a much larger group from the
class of 1958, and much of this
'.vGi;; Vvas aimed tOvvard tCachiiJs.
Eight members of the class of
1958 were accepted for the Master
of Arts in Teaching program at
Harvard, an exceptionally large
group to be picked from any one
college.
Recession Effect Small
1958 vvas a recession year and
it miglit be argued that Williams
graduates were discouraged from
embarking directly on their car-
eers without furtlier schooling for
that reason. At least one indica-
tion that this was not completely
true was supplied by Copeland
when he noted that more firms
were booked to interview seniors
last year during the recruiting sea-
son than ever before. Of the sal-
aries offered by these firms, none
were lower than other years, while
tliose which were lowest previously
were raised.
Further Major Study
Of the opportunities available a
very sizeable portion lie in the
field of further study in a per-
son's major at Williams. For this
purpose there are several programs
and possibilities. The first of

Jumbo Mystery
Still Unsolved
The plot is thickening in the
infamous "Jumbo Hall Mys-
tery." Since this display of ar-
tistic ability on October 25, Wil-
liamstown and Boston authori-
ties have been heatedly woiking
on the case. At the present, no
solution has been found, but
there is a good chance that the
day of reckoning may be at
hand.
Meanwhile, efforts to eradi-
cate those ominous blue and
brown letters by steam, caustic
.soda, and muriatic acid have
.seemingly failed. Over last
weekend, therefore, the letters
remained, shocking fresl.man
parents with their boldness just
as they had previously .shocked
the student body.

is free and open to the public.
Professor Wald is the first of a
series of special lecturers suggest-
ed by different departments, and
co-spon.sored by tlie Lecture Com-

also open to the public.
The field of vision is one of
Wald's special interests. He has
written papers on the chemistry
and physiology of visual processes
and on Vitamin A for the "Jour-

Bern in Switzerland.
Dr. Wald received his B. .S at
New York Univeisity in 1927, his
A.M. at Columbia the following
year, and his Ph.D. at Columbia
in 1932. He was a National Re-

Enthusiastic Critic
Lauds Frosh Talent
By Eric Davis
With banjos ringin' and glad-
some voices raised in satire and
song, the Class of 1962 romped
through its Freshman Revue be-
fore an overflow crowd of delight-
ed parents Saturday night.
Let there be no mistake: the
freshmen have talent. George
Downing's music was supple and
his lyrics tastefully funny. Skits
by Steve Pokart weie cleverly ir-
reverent of everything within
range. Master of Ceremonies Al-
berto Passigli regaled the home
folks with song, dance, a swinging
harmonica, and monologues in
more languages than seemed pos-
sible.
And the cast carried it all off
with winning humor and often
with accomplished polish. Every-
one who sang could sing, notably
the rock and roll duo of Bob Pan-
uska and Dave Kieffer. Everyone
who played could really play, es-
pecially the orchestra, which gave
admirable support — neither obtru-
sive nor saggy and many-fingered
Marc Comstock on strings. And
the dancers who brought to life
the striking effects of Pete Cul-
man's choreography could really
dance, twice giving an oiiginal.

PLEBISCITE
There has been such a f^reat deal of ferment
and foment lately on the .subject of the structure
of student frovernment, that I tliought a .sampl-
ing; of opinion mij^ht shed some light on the situa-
tion for all of us, who, being dyed-in-the-wool
radicals, tend to place more weigiif in the voices
of the world than those of a joint CC-SC com-
mittee. Here, then, are the results of a grass-
roots survey of students, faculty, and otheis who
felt they had a valid opinion on the subject.
A member of student government expressed
distress at what he termed "revisionary tenden-
cies" in the student body. Claiming that tbey
really had no grasp of the problem, he suggested
the formation of two new committees, one to
study revision of governmental forms, the other
to study the student body (suggesting the latter
be called the "Committee on Legislative over-
sight").
A Faculty Member interviewed while ]3ast-
ing Burns ])osters on automobiles in the college
))arkiiig lot, minnbled a rather incoherent state-
ment iibout lack of student insight, and the cry-
ing need for a committee on counter-inflation-
ary measures.
Two Freshmen ex]3ressed no knowledge of
the existence of any student government at all.
A Lady from Bennington suggested delega
ting the whole business to United Nations juris-
diction, spending "the money thus saved" on
Kerouac lecturei:-, a hashish disi^eiisary, ;ind a
sailboat which she wanted to sail to some Pacific
island where she said harmless natives were some
how involved in a fission-fusion-fission cycle.
An Alumnus reacted rather violently, call-
ing for measiu'es to "put down the rabble", and
a program instated to instill what he termed
"good old integrity" in the "blackboard jungle"
that he claims Williams has become. He became
so heated upon this point that your rej^orter
thought it best to withdraw, thus avoiding in-
jury from a "TipjDecanoe and Tyler Too" sign
that he was flourishing in a markedly menacing
manner.
A Member of the Department of Buildings
and Grounds said nothing, instead handed ine
a slip, in quadruplicate, marked "Postpone In-
definitely".
Three Seniors dismissed the entire question,
answering only that "it's all relative."
A Member of the Disci]5line Committee ex-
pressed no knowledge of governmental proce-
dures, said only that he wanted "truth", and
hoped that there woidd be no excitement over
the issue. The words "Ciiapin Hall" and "bombs"
kept |)op])ing into his s|)eech, but upon review 1
could not see how they fit into its context.
An Officer of the Administration suggested
a call for some advice from Washington.
A Student, presumably a Sophomore, was
interested only in "what he coidd get out of" if
there were a new government. He, however, ex-
pressed interest in joining a revolution if there
was one brewing. 1 could give him no informa-
tion on this.
The results of the poll, wlfile jiossessing all
the elements of a good cross-section, seem incon-
clusi\e, despite the expenditures of energy, pix-
per and red ta|)e normal in such a cam|)us sur-
very.
A move is now underway to publish the re-
sults of this smvey bound in leather. For oidy
$7.62 in tax pev man, every student can have a
copy.

tors have taken the liberti/ of ctitting it to print-
ahk length. Wc hope that we have iwt in any

To the Editor:
As the remaining member of the committee
of three that drafted the CC Constitution in the
Spring of 1954 I feel more than a personal re-
s]5onsibility to the CC's jimposes ancl hopes and
to Student Co\ernment at WiUiams.
To oin- minds, in 1954, the crux of the socio-
political weakness of the Student Community
was the fragmentation of students into fifteen
fraternities that had become, each of them, a
focal ])oint for student activities. The great
changes that have taken place at Williams since
I started College in 1951 have been all directed
at correcting this focus upon fraternities.
The dissolution of the Garfield Club, the
erection of Baxter Hall, Deferred Bushing, and
the movement towards the CC away from the
UC, each and every one of them, struck directly
at the fraternity monopoly of student attention
and loyalty.
Thus the cardinal i^mpose of the CC Con-
stitution was to redirect student thinking away
from fraternities and towards the College Com
munity as a whole. That is why we spoke of
"unity" and "personal responsibility" in the pre-
amble.
We thought that eventually all students
would realize that Williams College had a cen-
tral "controlling and directing force" and that
the fraternities were only social organizations.
We carefully avoided any provisions that
would make the elected representatives (to the
CC) mere delegates, incapacitated from action
by lack of authority. So aware of the mal effects
of the system of the UC (where each fraternity

With power concentrated in thi' CXJ, any differences between
the CC and the Student Body must be settled in an all-colKire
manner. That is, either students must use the initiative or ii f(!r-

THE DRESS PARADE
In all my years of observing coed fashions— and I have been
arrested many times— I have never seen such verve, such dash,
■uch Je ne saia quoi as can be found in tliis year's styles I
I am particularly enchanted by the new "baby waist" dresses
which so many of you girls are favoring this season. How
demure you all look in your "baby wai.sts" ! How sweetl How
innocenti How colorful when your housemother lifts you up
and burps you after dinner I
Another trend that leaves me limp with rnjiture is the over-
sized handbag, (loodbye to dinky little purses that hold nothing
at all! Hurrah for today's sensilily sized baf; with i)lenty of
room for your makeup, your pens and pencils, your shelter
half, your Slinky toy, your MG, and your Marlboros.
Did I say Marlboros? Certainly 1 said Marlboro.s. What girl
can con.sider herself in the van, in the swim, and in the know,
if she doesn't smoke Marlboros? What man, for that matter.
Do you want a filter that is truly new, genuinely advanced,
but at the same time, does not rob you of the full flavor of
first-rate tobacco? Then get Marlboro. Also get matches because
the pleasure you derive from a Marlboro is necessarily limited
if unlit.
To return to coed fashions, let us now discuss footwear. The
popular fiat shoe was introduced several years ago when it
became obvious that girls were growing taller than boys. For
a while the flat shoes kept the sexes in a state of uneasy balance,
but today they will no longer serve. Now, even in flats, girls
are towering over their dates, for the feminine growth rate has
continued to rise with disturbing Kjjepd. In fact, it is now
thought possible that we will see fifteen-foot girls in our lifetime.
But science is working on the problem, and I feel sure
American know-how will find an answer. Meanwhile, a tem-
porary measure is available— the reverse wedgie.
The reverse wedgie is simply a wedgie turned around. This
tilts a girl backward at a 45 degree angle and cuts as nnicb as
three feet off her height. It is, of course, inijjossiblo to walk in
this position unless you have support, so your date will have to
keep his arm around your waist at all times. This will tire hira
out in fairly short order; therefore you must constantly give
him encouragement. Keep looking uj) at him and batting your
lashes and repeating in awed tones, "How drong you are,
Shorty 1'!
Next we turn to hair styling. The hair-do this year is definitely
the cloche-coif. One sees very few crew cuts or Irene Castle
bobs, and the new Mohican cut seems not to have caught on
at all. In fact, I saw only one nirl with a Mohican — Hhodelle
H. Sigafoos, asophomore of BciiniiKiton. Her classmates laughed
and laughed at her, hut it was lihodelle who bad the last laugh,
for one night a dark, handsome stranger leaircd from behind a
bircli and linked his arm in Hhodelle's and said, "I am Uncas,
the last of the Mohicans -but I need not be the last, dear lady,
if you will but be my wife." Today they are happily married
and run a candied-aiiple stand near Macon, (ia., and have three
little Mohicans named Patti, Maxine, and Lavcrne.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1958
Reviewer Analyzes Horner Concert,
Praises Vibrato, Sustained Control
By Donald Brown
John Horner, an alumnus of the
class of 1951, gave a recital of
songs and operatic arias in Chapin
Hall Friday. The program was ex-
traordinarily varied, with works by
Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Peri, Ives,
and featuring Schumann's song
cycle, the "Dichterliebe,"
Best in Baritone
Although he has sung bass and
bass-baritone roles, Horner func-
tions best in the lyric baritone
range, with approximately F above
middle C as his most effective high
note. Because of a placement well
back in the head, his voice is
rounded and free from edge or
nasality. His voice is not extraor-
dinarily big, and he does not at-
tempt to make it sound so by
pushing.
Perhaps the most noticeable fea-
ture of Horner's baritone was its
remarkable sustained control,
which enabled him to sing beauti-

fully symmetrical phrases. The vi-
brato was likewise measured and
even, and the pitch (except for
parts of Beethoven's "In questa
tomba oscura," where the sharp-
ness was probably due to early-
concert nervousness) was quite ac-
curate.
If anything adverse can be said
about his performance, it is that
he failed at times to adapt an es-
sentially operatic approach to the
intimacy of some of his less pre-
tentious songs.
Largely because of his control
cind even quality, Horner is ideal
m an aria such as Peri's "Gioite
al canto mio", from Orfeo, the
opening selection. But when he at-
tempts to sing a simple folk song,
such as any one of the three Am-
erican cowboy songs which ended
the program, he is still too preoc-
cupied with control and general
technique to be dramatically ef-
fective.
Horner's reserve makes contact
between artist and audience dif-
ficult at times, and the fifiale of
his concert suffered consequently.
Dichterliebe
The "Dichterliebe" is an extra-
ordinarily difficult .song cycle by
Schumann based on poems by
Heine. Horner handled all vocal
problems with grace: the "Dich-
terliebe" was quite well done,
thanks in good part to the ac-
companiment of Reginald Board-
man.

College Chapel Plans
New Lecture Series
The Williams College Chapel
this year, in addition to its regu-
lar activities, will sponsor several
lectures. It also plans to consider
changes in its constitution.
The lectures will actually be an
extension of the program of guest
speakers which the WCC supplies
for Sunday Chapel. The organiza-
tion will make these speakers a-
vailable after the service for a
discussion period.
Several speakers, however, have
been invited by the WCC to give
formal lectures. Among them are

Washington Attorney
Blasts Draft System
Washington Attorney. John Gra-
ham has recently accused the pre-
sent system of compulsory mili-
tary .service of being discrimina-
tory, inadequate and unnecessary.
In a pamphlet titled "The Uni-
versal Military Obligation" Gra-
ham suggests that the draft sys-
tem does not adequately meet the
needs of modern day armies. He
observes that with the onset of
nuclear and technological war-
fare, modern warfare will demand
highly-trained, experienced spe-
cialists rather than massive com-
bat forces which the draft sys-
tem provides.
After describing the numerous
ways men obtain deferments, Gra-
ham asserts that "when their total
impact is to excuse more than half
of all the men in the eligible age
group from any form of military
service, the whole becomes more
than the sum of its parts."
Until three years ago, Art was a
probation officer in New Jersey
but was fired because he did not
have a college degree. 'I decided
to go to school as far away from
home as possible. I had a friend
up here lin North Adams) and
came up to the Teacher's College
a year ago." Seeking employment
for his spare time, he found a job
as night janitor of Baxter Hall.
How the Boys Act
"This year at Williams has been
quite a year — it's been one of the
high points of my life. I've never
been associated with a group as in-
tellectual as this — most of these
boys have never been in any real
trouble. It's opened my eyes as far
as how the other side lives, you
might say. It is interesting to ob-
serve their behavior, especially un-
der pressure."
Art is studying to be an elemen-
tary teacher at NASTC. "I've been
a plumber's helper, a bus driver, a
probation officer, now I'm a co
lege student and janitor. That's
why I think I'll be qualified to of
a good teacher — I'll have an un-
derstanding of various points of
view. I'd like to teach up here
somewhere and try it for a year
or two. If I don't like it, I can al-
ways go back to probation work."
Art was with the Rainbow Divi-
sion in Germany in the second
World War. "Those were the good
old days in some respects — some
good, some bad. I saw enough of
it not to be in another war."
The author concludes that the
United States is not exacting a un-
iversal military obligation, that we
do not need to exact one, and that
"the proper question for free men
is not whether conscription can be
administered equitably, but whe-
ther it need exist at all."

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1958
Position Of Non- Affiliates Reviewed;
Garfield Club Provided Alternative
This is the first of two urtides.
By George Reath
The position of the non-affili-
ate on the Williams campus has
long been an anomalous one. The
size of the non-affiliate body has
varied from 30 per cent of the
student body in the 1930's to its
present low of 5 per cent.
In the past, non-affiliates were
loosely organized in the Commons
Club, which dated from 1909, and
which formed the basis for the
Garfield Club. The Garfield Club
came into existence during the
presidency of Tyler Dennett '05,
in 1935, when the Commons Club
changed its name to honor Pre-
sident Harry A. Garfield, who was
instrumental in founding and sup-
porting the organization.
The Garfield Club went out of
existence with the advent of de-
ferred rushing and the construc-
tion of Student Union in 1954. At
present there is no official non-af-
filiate organization, although Diclc
Crews '59, has recently been chos-
en to represent the non-affiliates
on the SC.
The first attempt to create a
social life on the Williams campus
for the non-fratemity man came
in 1909 when President Garfield
opened Currier Hall to students,
complete with clubroom and din-
ing hall.
The main purpose of the Com-
mons-Garfield Club was to offer
the freshman rushee a suitable so-
cial alternative to fraternity life.
An editorial in the RECORD is-
sue of Oct. 6, 1931, stated; "The
non-fraternity man at Williams is
given an opportunity to lead a ful-
ly normal college existence such as
is guaranteed him at very few in-
stitutions ... If a man enjoys be-
ing a member of a well-knit group,
he can satisfy that desire in par-
ticipation in the Club's affairs."

Art Museum Exhibits
Danish Architecture
An exhibit of contemporary
Danish architecture, reflecting the
influences of the past and the in-
ternational character that has in-
vaded it, will be on display through
Nov. 9 in the Lawrence Art Mu-
seum.
On view are photographs and
architect's drawings showing 78
projects by leading Danish archi-
tects, including Arne Jacobson,
Finn Juhl, Preben Hansen, Ben-
net Windinge, Vilhelm Lauritzen,
and Kay Pisker. All categories of
building are represented, including
homes, factories, office buildings,
schools, community centers, and
hospitals.
The exhibition was organized by
Professor Kay Pisker of the Royal
Academy, Copenhagen.
Opinions . . .
Dick Wydick - "There should
be a compromise possible. The
situation brought out in the let-
ter definitely exists, but sugges-
tions made by the Dean and the
RECORD would, if formulated in-
to a concrete proposal, to a great
degree solve the problem."
Ray Klein - "The RECORD
.should give more publicity to the
coming debate on the whole con-
troversy."
Reynolds, Greer
Jim Reynolds - "I signed the
original proposal as a step in the
right direction, but what I would
rather see is the same bodies kept
and made more equal, so the SC
would be more than a mouthpiece.
I would like to see the two bodies
on the same level where every-
thing concerning fraternities or
their members would have to go
through both."
John Greer - "Some compromise
can be made, possibly by increas
ing the flow of legislation back
and forth between the present bo
dies. When the CO acts on matters
concerning fraternities or their
members, it should automatically
get a sentiment vote from the SC.
The formal system doesn't need
any change, but members of the
CC should know that they can't
act so independently of their con-
.stituency. I am dead set against
expanding the Social Council. Ex-
tra members, even in an advisory
capacity, would just complicate
matters. A separate council should
be established rather than change
the make-up of the present SC."
All five of these men are mem-
bers of the Social Council, but
each emphasized that he was
speaking as an individual rather
than as a representative of the
SC. The topic has not in fact
been discussed at any SC meeting.
Graduate Schools . . .
these is simply graduate work in
a given subject: history, English,
math, or chemistry, for example.
Advising for students interested
in taking this type of graduate
work is done through the various
departments.
The second of these programs
includes specific schools and fields.
Probably the best known of these
programs is the IVI. I. T. Combined
Plan which provides further un-
dergraduate work leading to a B.
E. in addition to Williams' B. A.
This involves a transfer to M.I.T.
after either three or four years
and requires the student to take
about half of his undergraduate
courses at Williams in the scien-
ces.
Professions
For those students who have
already decided, by the time they
leave Williams, that they would
like to go into law, medicine, the-
ology or business, there are also
wide opportunities. In medical
school, for example, in the years
1954-1958 about 90 per cent of
those Williams men who applied
were accepted; in law Williams'
class of 1958 sent 32 men to law
schools, with half going to Har-
vard and Yale.
Each year several Williams men
go on to graduate work abroad.
In this field opportunities are
virtually unlimited, with a con-
siderable number of fellowships
available for travel and study in
the class of 1958, for example out

2-1 Win Over Ephs;

The Williams varsity soccer team
lost another close game to Spring-
field College Saturday 2-1 before
a Houseparty crowd in Springfield,
Mass. The Ephmen's record now
stands at 2-4 with Wesleyan and
Amherst remaining on the sche-
dule.
Co-captain Mike Baring-Gould
got Williams off to a lead at the
end of the first quarter when he
scored from ten yards out. When
the teams shifted for the second
quarter, the wind advantage also
changed hands. Springfield scored
at 4:00 in the second period on a
sharp le:t wing goal by Scott Wil-
son to even up the contest.
Play was even until midway
through the fourth quarter. Alf
Ehnstrom took a pass from Gib
Grant to score the winning goal
for the Maroon,
Bee DeMallie and Tom Pox led
the Williams defense which out-
played Springfield, last year's
NCAA champions, for most of the
game.

Williams Varsity Slams Union 40-6;
Rorke, Widmer, Whitney Lead Attack
Alter a full period uf loosely |)layed football last .Saturday,
Williams eairie to life on Dan liorke's 59 yard touchdown jaunt
and |)roieeded to roll up a 40-6 victory over Union College at
Schenectady, Rorke nmninjr well all afternoon, also scored from
the three early in the third jieriod, while his replaeeineiit, Eric
Widmer, picked off scoring passes
of 35 and 56 yards from sophomore
quarterback, John Whitney, to
add two tallies of his own.
The opening stanza of play saw
a definitely aroused Union team
play some of its sharpest ball
this season, while Williams block-
ed sluggishly and fumbled regu-
larly. But at the start of the sec-
ond period, after Union brought
the ball out to the Williams 39,
Rorke started things moving. He
crossed to his left side, streaked
down the sidelines, and slid into
the end zone as he was tackled
from behind, Dan Panning hopped
on a Union fumble in the same
frame, which gave the Purple first
and ten on Union's thirty one.
Chip Ide, limited to 96 yards in
16 carries during the game picked
up 17 yards in three tries and full-
back Bob Hatcher dove over from
the two.
Union's only score of the day
came just before the half. A Wil-
liams fumble on their own 11 yard
line gave the loser's possession.
Quarterback Chip Nassor then
scored from the one after fullback
Bob Marquez had given the Gar-
net's a first down on the one yard
line,
Rorke added his second and Wil-
liams third touchdown of the day
in the third period from three
yards out, followed by a pass from
Jim Briggs to Dan Fanning good
for 39 yards and six more points.
Prom this point on, the second
and third units saw most of the
action.
Tufts Submerges
'Undefeated' Jeffs
The Tufts football team, dis-
playing the power that it lacked
last week against Williams, turned
against Amherst on Pratt field
Saturday by a 42-7 score.
The previously unbeaten Jeffs
were no match for the overpower-
ing Jumbos led by halfback Dave
Pox, who scored three of the six
Tufts touchdowns. Behind Pox was
quarterback Tom Hanlan, who
successfully took to the air when
the ground attack slowed up.
The only score for Amherst was
provided by John Deligeorges,
when he cracked over from the
two after a Tufts fumble almost
in their own end zone. But the
Jeffs, who lost the ball six times
on fumbles, could not seem to
move against the hard-driving
Jumbo line. Time and again half-
back Jack Close tried to power his
way through that line, but was
usually lucky if he made it past
the line of scrimmagfc.

Guido Schilling and Juno Fiur-

"At the Middlebury game," says
Juno, "I saw Williams advancing

they did not give Middlebury a
chance to advance the ball."
"That machine you use for kick-

I thought you were going to use
it as a mace as they did in the

"When a Williams man tackled a

Colby should keep the ball if Wil-

"There is too much whistling in

active candidates for office. They
are Professor James M. Burns of
Massachusetts Democratic candi-
date in the first Congressional Dis-

Seated behind a large desk in
his Baxter Hall office is Senoi
Antonio Garcia de Lahiguera, a
former diplomat for Republican
Spain who came to Williams in
1941 and now serves as director
of Student Union Activities.
De Lahiguera was born in the
province of Navarre in Northern
Spain, and studied for a doctorate
in law at the University of Ma-
drid. Following further studies at
the International Affairs Scliool,
Central School for Languages and
Diplomatic School in Madrid, he
passed the competitive Spanish
foreign service exam and entered
the field of diplomacy as a Sec-
retary of the Embassy Third Class
at the Foreign Office in Madrid.
Moving up the ladder to consu-
lar appointments, de Lahiguera be-
came first a Vice-consul in Paris
and then served as Consul suc-
cessively in New York, Montreal
and Vera Cruz. He then served in
embassies in both Washington and
Havana, but his career was ended
abruptly by Franco's accession to
power prior to the Second World
War.
Since his original departure
from Spain de Lahiguera has spent
every summer in Spain, crossing
the Atlantic a total of 37 times,
14 by plane. During his sabbatical
leave from Williams last year, he

Williams'' Burns Loses
CongressionalElection
"My spirits are Kood, but I'm
bodily exhausted." So said unsuc-
cessful candidate for Congress
James M. Burns after he was de-
feated by Republican Silvio O.
Conte in Tuesday's elections.
Final returns wave Conte 65,028
to 52,077 for Burns. Burns carried
Uie Democratic strongholds of
Holyoke and Adams, but failed to
Imild up large enough pluralities
10 balance Republican gains in
rural areas and in Pittsfield, Con-
le's home town.
In Holyoke, for instance, the
Democratic candidate usually
needs a minimum plurality of 5000
votes in order to win. Burns car-
ried the city by only 2,700. In
Adams Burns' plurality was just
a little over 50 votes. Both North
Adams and Williamstown went
for Conte.
Didn't Really Lose
Coai.nenting on the campaign.
Burns said. "One never really loses
ail eleciion when hi> has made
hundreds of friends throughout
Western Massachusetts.
"I will never forget tire tremen-
dous work that so many people did
tor me. These people ranged from
men high in professional life to
housewives, working people, and
otners who liad uotiiing to gei. out
of this except an effort at good
government."
Tuftsman Admits
Chapin Hall Art
Tufts College authorities dis-
closed this week that one of the
Tufts students responsible for the
Chapin Hall painting incident has
been apprehended and has con-
fessed. It is believed that addition-
al Tufts men were involved, but
their identities have no) as yet
been established.
Williams and Tufts authorities
have been working on the case for
two weeks. Their chief clues were
the paint brushes and empty cans
which were discovered near the
scene of the crime. Tracking down
the purchase of these items led to
the identification of the buyer who
has admitted to his part in the
incident.
Repair Costs
With the failure of steam, mur-
iatic acid and solvents to remove
the paint, sandblasting remains
as the only means of eradication.
One estimate by a local sand-
blasting firm has given the fol-
lowing figures: sandblasting of
.iust the columns and front steps
of the building will cost $1300; to
blast the front of Chapin Hall will
run $3000; sandblasting of the
entire building is estimated at
$6000,
In addition to these estimates, a
silicon and die treatment, costing
approximately one-third of the
sandblasting total, would be ne-
cessary to preserve the uniform
tone of the stone.
In the near future, Williams
and Tufts officials will confer to
decide which of the above courses
to take and to make complete fi-
nancial arrangements.
Mr. Burns .said he was especial-
ly happy to have the enthusiastic
support of so many Williams fac-
ulty and students. "I feel that the
effort was worthwhile and I'm sure
they do too.
"I never had any intention of
writing a book about this experi-
ence and still have none. But the
experience was a richening and
deepening one, I believe, for my
understanding of American poli-
tics and both the possibilities and
limitations of campaigning."
Independent Life
Viewed By N. A.'s
By George Heath
This is the aacond of two aiticli's.
With the construction of the
Student Union in 1954, the non-af-
filiate social organization, the
Garfield Club, went out of exis-
tence. At present, there is no of-
ficial non-affiliate organization,
although Dick Crews '59 sits on the
Social Council, There is no senti-
ment at this time for the organi-
zation of the non-affiliates.
Comment
Says one junior: "I'm all for the
fraternity system. I think it would
be terrible if tliere were no fra-
ternities. I'm a non-affiliate be-
cause I am the way I am. It was-
n't really a matter of principle. I
can't see there's any basic differ-
ence. I knew all the non-affiliates
and I didn't know who my fellow
pledges I in a house) might be.
"As far as I'm concerned. I get
just as much social life as a non-
affiliate as I would otherwise.
Whatever you do, whether you join
a house or not, it doesn't show su-
periority on either side. The whole
thing's a silly argument; we choose
to live this way, the fraternity men
choose to live their own way."
One man who was picked up by
a house has, on the other hand.

Phinney's To Give
Weekend Concert
Phinney's Favorite Five will re-
turn to Williams in full strength
in a jazz concert to be given in
Chapin Hall after the football ral-
ly tonight.
Sharing the spotlight with Sat-
urday's football game with Wes-
leyan as a highlight of this alumni
homecoming weekend, the jazz
concert will feature three members
of the class of 1958, as well as four
undergraduates.
After two years of experience
playing at Elbow Beach in Ber-
muda, with a third coming up, the
band has reached an almost pro-
fessional status and represents a
return to jazz concerts of the old
Dixieland style which were so pop-
ular with the Spring Street Stom-
pers.
The other highlight of the week-
end, Saturday's football game, pro-
mises to have very nearly a full
house, with the athletic office re-
porting better than 1600 tickets
already sold to alumni, their fam-
ilies, and friends. With the addi-
tion of Wesleyan rooters and Wil-
liams men and their dates, the to-
tal should be well over 5000.

Petition Accepted
Two weeks ago, the CC decided
by a close 5-4 majority to adopt
the third plan. A group of 123

when we will i^et to see liaciiie well done because the summer
companies even in Paris are sec-
ond rate." He also noted that
large numbers of people will drive
from other Eastern colleges to see
the performance. When "Brilan-
nicus" was given in Munich this
year, the play received an astound-
ing 28 curtain calls, Savacool said.
"There are .some kinds of writ-
ing," he says, "which do not bear
translation — that is why you never
see Racine in .ijlnglish. Half of the
dramatic value of the play is the
way it sounds." There are .synopses
available for members of the au-
dience who do not speak French.
Racine
Racinian tragedy, according to
Savacool, is at the base of French
culture and literary tastes. For
the.se reasons, it has a special sig-
nificance to anyone looking at
France from the outside and try-
ing to understand the French
mind. It requires a special type
of acting in the grand rhetorical
manner. " 'Britannicus' is a must
for anyone interested in the arts,"

outstanding
tition was accepted last Monday
night by the CC. It was slightly re-
worded upon the .suggestion of
Dean Brooks.
According to the constitution of
the student government, at least
51 per cent of the college body
must vote, and a majority of these
students, however, challenged the students must vote "no" to defeat
CC action and signed a formal pe- ; the tax. Abstention from voting in
tition for a Referendum on the ., Referendum is thus a more pow-
issue. The signers of the petition
felt that the tax was an unfair
remedy, because many persons did
not buy a Gul all four years.
As the number of signatures was
more than the required 10 per
cent of the student body, the pe-

Debaters Journey To
Pre-Season Tourney
Informal debates were held Jast
Saturday at Brandeis, Dartmouth
and Hamilton College. To each of
these Williams sent four debaters.
The.se debates were designed to
give .school teams experience with
the national topic: "RESOLVED:
Further Development of Nuclear
Weapons Should Be Prohibited By
International Agreement."
At Brandeis ten schools parti-
cipated in the tournament. The
Williams team of Tim Coburn '60,
George Green '61, Kurt Rosen '59,
and John Scales '59, placed fifth.
In the tournaments at Dart-
mouth and Hamilton, which were
for inexperienced debaters, the
teams representing the Adelphic
Union won three out of four and
three out of six debates respective-
ly.
Speakers
Speaking at a dinner for the
St. John's Church Student Ves-
try Monday evening will be
Dick Rising '42. With 400 feet
of colored film. Rising will des-
cribe his work with a former
head-hunting tribe in the Phil-
ippines. At Williams Rising was
a Junior Adviser and was elec-
ted to Phi Beta Kappa his Jun-
ior year.
The speaker at this Sunday's
chapel service will be the Rev.
George Williams Webber. His
topic will be "The FooIishne.ss
of God."
A graduate of Harvard and
Union Theological Seminary,
Webber is al.so co-founder of

Betz Leads Phi Bete Discussion
Of Racine s Tragedy, ^Britannicus'
Before a large audience of fac- ;
ulty and students a Phi Beta Kap-
pa Panel of two faculty members
and two students discussed Jean
Racine's "Britannicus" Wednesday
night. I
Professor John Savacool of the
French department led off the dis-
cussion with a consideration of the
French theater of Racine's Age.
He stressed the emphasis on form I
and decorum which grew out of
the social climate of Paris at the
time as well as from the artistic
desire to adhere to the Aristotel-
ian principles for tragedy.
Origin in Tacitus
Mack Hassler '59, then traced
the origins of the Racinean plot
back to the Roman Historian, Ta-
citus, who first recorded the evils
in the reign of Nero. He pointed
out the changes that Racine had
to make In the story, and raised
the question of how contempora-
neous the play's court intrigues
were to 17th century France itself.
Professor Georges Brachfeld, al-
so of the French department, dls-
cu.ssed the Racinean character and
stressed the deterministic factor
by which each character had to
remain true to his or her nature.
Rather than a drama of change he
pointed out that Racine's drama
was one of "revelation not evolu-
tion."
Jim Wallace '59, gave the last
of the four talks in which he dis-
cussed Racine's concept of tra-
gedy. He attempted to show the
emphasis that Racine put on the
moment of crisis as opposed to
the Shakespearean concept of
tragedy in which the stress is upon
the development of character.
The panel was moderated by
Jack Betz '59. Following the talks
there was an open discussion with
1 questions directed to the panelists.

ABSTAIN
In the be.st interc.st.s of tlic collcire, we strong-
ly urge .students not to \()ti' in Monday's referen-
dum on the $6.05 yearbook ta.\.
This ta.x, we feel, is the liest way to solve
the Gill's finaneial problems— for the only other
possible solutions would be a poor yearbook, or
a yearly all-college ta.x to cover the Gul's debts
for which the ta.xpayer would receive absolutely
no return.
And abstention under the CX; constitution, is
in this case the most effecti\'e vote in favor of
the tax. If less than 51 per cent of the college
votes in the referendum, the tax will go into ef-
fect as the College Council has already jjassed
it. It is not likely that 51 per cent of the collc-ge
will cast votes iit^ain.st the tax. If students in hi-
vor of the ta.x abstain, therefore the necessary
51 per cent will not vote, and the Gul's finan-
cial problems will be solved in the way most
beneficial to Williams.
If there is to be student govermnent, 1 be-
lieve it should be as effective as possible. By
this, I mean that it should interest the students
ill general and it should be effective in leading
undergraduate opinion. This is the reason for
making the Social Council a second house of the
legislature in certain cases. Through this body,
the ideas of the leaders are better able to reach
the students and the very fact that a larger and
more diver.se group are taking jiart in decision
making will create greater interest.
I submitted my ideas because I feel some-
thing shoidd be done at this session of the (;C—
at least the matter should he intelligently dis-
cussed. I saw IK) one else making specific propo-
sals. This |)lan is not necessarilv the best way to
im|)ro\e student government. It will serve, 1
hope, to create discussion and possibly to form
the basis ol a new and more effective college
government.

OH, MY!
To the Editor:
WE GAIN
The First .Massachusetts District was a Re-
publican backwash in the Democratic tide which
swept the nation last Tuesday, leaxing Pro-
fessor Burns high and dry.
Politics can be a thankless business. \\\ the
ability, care, energy, time and money invested in
the Burns cam|>aign was not sufficient to sway
the traditionally Republican vote of this area.
Through the vox populi fortunately has the
last word in chosing the men who run America's
government, we cannot help feeling that in this
instance the nation would have been better
off if he had been elected. In a very real sense,
however, we at Williams have gained by his
loss. His place here at the othei- end of the j^ro-
verbial log— which we hope he will resume— has
been an important contribntitm to the high stand-
ards of Williams education.
Letters To The Editor
CASTLE COMPROMISE
To the Editor:
The "Castle Proposal" to be discussed at the
Wednesday public hearing grew out of my in-
terest in student government as a result of be-
ing the RECORD rej^orter in the College Coun-
cil since January 1958. It is a comjiromise but it
is not merely a set of mechanical alerations to
satisfy the critics of the CC. It has a theory be-
hind it.
We were (|uite flattered to find ourselves de-
signated as the authors of the "Gul-Referendnm"
petition; but why did vou ascribe it to two in-
di\iduals when it was the result of general ac-
tion taken after serious grou]) discussion?
We suggest that if in the futine you can't
get it straight then don't bother to put it in.

High Aswan Dam
hij Abdul Wohabe '59
Editor's note: Wohabe lives in Zubair, Iraq
When the great clam at Aswan, which the
Soviet Union has just promised the United Arab
Republic it will help finance, is completed, the
face of ancient Egypt will never be the same
again. News that work was to start immediately
was bitter tea for the archaeologist, and to those
who fear that diis splendid remarkable achieve-
ment might turn into a source of international
conflict in the Middle East.
But it may be asked, what is the significance
of this news to the people of the U. A. R., and
what would be the effects of such a vast sclieme
upon their economic well-being?
This vast ])roject has for long been regarded
by many economic observers as a matter of life
and death for the Egyptian economy. It com-
)5rises the long term jirogram for the exj^ansion
of the cultivated area available to the Egy])tian
farmer, which is impossible without a great in-
crease in water-storage capacity. Moreover, the
full power potential of the dam will make it
l^ossible for the government to carry on its indus-
trial schemes, some of which are already under
construction. This includes new power stations
(one already is in operation), the steel and iron
jilants (one plant went into operation last Au-
gust), many synthetic fertilizer plants and the
power installation at Aswan which is about to
be completed before the year is over.
Utilize Nile River
The increase of the cultivated area will be
made possible through the fuller use of the Nile

THE FLAGON, BOYS
In the bar car Herman Trimble, boy adult, quivered as
he quaffed his final sip of Schaefer. His beloved wife
Calliope was waiting for him at the next station stop.
He hadn't seen her since morning.
"Halt, ground !" he shouted as the train ground to a
halt. Whimpering, he raced along the platform -past
old Gear, the stationmaster, past the familiar Schaefer
sign, to a little foreign car. Inside sat Calliope, chic,
nubile, slack-jawed. Herman clawed open the door,
sprang forward, kissed her eyes, ears, nose and throat.
"We must hurry," Calliope cried, breaking free and
slamming his head against the dash. "PTA meets to-
night, and ESP and SAC and various other civic groups."
"Life with you is a circus, Calliope," Herman sighed,
thinking of older, sweeter times. "Do you recall when
Schaefer was your kind of beer? When our days were
filled with soft words and anchovy canapes and tall,
cold draughts of Schaefer? And we would sit close to-
gether on that old, overstuffed Ottoman-or was it a
man named Otto?"
"Schaefer still is my kind of beer," she said, eyes moist.
"Real beer. Experts call it round
because it has a smooth har-
mony of flavors."
"Oh, Calliope, you remember!"
Herman said. "Near here there
is an old barn made over into a
nightclub. It is called The Old
Barn Nightclub. Let us go there
now for Schaefer and lantern
shine and oo-la-la."
Calliope, laughing merry assent, rammed the car into
Gear, who was pushing a baggage cart past them. Un-
hurt but angry, he stood muttering at them long after
they had disappeared into the Schaefer-golden sunset.

Saturday as they engage Williams
in Its initial contest in defense
of the Little Tnree Crown. Wes-

weeks ago to Amherst and tlius

The Cards will bring up a much

field boasts at least two men that

ning touchdown for We.sleyan.
Dick Huddleston i.s tlie quarter-
back. A coiu'erted right halfback,
Huddleston, likes to run the ball
and throws well running to his
right. Smith, the left half, is an-
other speedster and a favorite pas.s
target.
Experienced Line
In the line, center is the only
pasition without experienced op-
ei-atives. The pivot man is Erda, a
sophomore who Coach Daniels of
Wesleyan is well pleased with.
Dave Mitchell is the outstanding
man in the Cardinal line. He is a
three year veteran and switches
from his left guard spot to middle
linebacker when Wesleyan is on
defen.se.
Two weeks a.go Wesleyan held
Amherst scoreless for almost three
full periods. Reports credit the
vi.sitors with a much stronger club
than their mediocre record indi-
cates. There is no question they
will be up for the game and could
very easily hand Williams its sec-
ond upset of the year, but the Pur-
ple are still a three touchdown fa-
vorite going in.
This week Amher.st comes up a-
gainst Trinity, the team responsi-
ble for Williams' upset in the sea-
son's opener. Amherst was blasted
out of the unbeaten column by
Tufts last week.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1958
Dam . . .
estimated at $500 million, or pos-
sibly more. It will take between
four and five years to finish, and
at the end of this period a total
4,000 million kilowatt hours of
power production could be avail-
able for immediate use.
In addition to its more immedi-
ate benefits, the dam indirectly
can provide a solution to some of
the major problems in Egypt,
namely the increase in population.
Egypt's population increases at
such a phenomenal rate that the
country's present population of "25
million will be doubled within
twenty years. This is faster than
the rate of agricultural production
which is presently estimated at 15
per cent.
Source of Pride
The dam can provide the way
out <and, short of large scale em-
igration of major catastrophy, pos-
sibly the only feasible way) of the
chronic demographic impasse,
since it will add new industrial
capacity to the country and raise
the rural living standard through
Increase in industry. There is also
the psychological element. The
new expansion in industry will be,
in addition to its obvious econom-
ic benefits, a source of not only
new wealth but a source of pride
and self esteem for the Arab peo-
ple who knew the bitter taste of
total economic dependence on
other powers, and who are still
paying in their blood, as the case
in Algeria, for their full libera-
tion. To them, this new accomp-
lishment will serve as a living sym-
bol marking their newly acquired
status, and forever placing them
on equal footing with other na-
tions.
Moreover, the Aswan Dam deal
and the successful way which it
has been negotiated testifies to
the ability of the present states-
manship of the Arab world forti-
fied by its belief in International
cooperation, and not coercion, to
deal with the problems of its un-
derdeveloped economy. Finally,
this great undertaking can serve
to show the ability of the inter-
national economy, if directed con-
structively and justly, to deal with
the problems of underdevelopment
in all underdeveloped countries ev-
erywhere.
Twisted TalesOf Eph
One evening many yars ago,
Ephraim Williams sat in his tent
on the eve of a great battle. Being
realistic aljout the possibility of
death on the next day, lie drew out
a piece of parchment and a I'iiper-
mate ball i)oint quill (vvitli piggy-
back refill) and scratched out a
will. Having no really apparent
lieirs (any accidental heirs he en-
deavored to keep as inapparent as
possible) he bequeathed Iiis
worldly possessions to the council-
men of northern Berkshire County
for the estabUshment of a free
school. The free school later was
changed to Williams College, and
henceforth tuition was charged.
On the same eve of tlie same
great battle, Ezeriah Spring also
realistically facing death, wrote out
his will. But the two men differed
in their tastes. As Ephraim 'Wil-
liams was fond of booklearning,
Ezeriah Spring was fond of eat-
ing, so his money went to the
founding of the famous College
Restaurant on Spring Street.
Henceforth, the trustees of Ezer-
iah Spring's will, have served
Williams students the finest food
in the Berkshire Valley.

quite a different view of non-af-
filiate life: "In essence, the biggest
drawback is social; I found while
I was a non-affiliate, that things
to do and places to go were both
hard to find and extremely limit-
ed ... I had a disconnected feel-
ing."
Non-affiliates take an active In-
terest in the affairs of the college.
The petition for a referendum on
the Gul tax which was circulated
recently found its origin among
tlie non-affiliates. The upperclass
lounge is the scene of many dis-
cussions of the actions of the CC,
and other college organizations.
Choice Factor
With the advent of near-Total
Opportunity in rushing, almost all
the non-affiliates are non-affili-
ates by choice. They feel that they
have their place in the college, just
as the fraternities do. A feeling of
tolerance seems to exist on both
sides, a feeling which hasn't al-
ways existed on the Williams cam-
pus.

from Gargoyle, and two juniors.
The Committee will meet separ-
ately from the Faculty Curriculum
Committee whose chairman is Pro-
fessor Howard P, Stabler of the
Physics Department, They will
serve in an advisory capacity to
this faculty group.
The members of the Committee
are: Al Donovan '59, chairman:

Council Yearbook Tax Ratified
By Failure Of Majority To Vote
Bi/ John E. I'ldiikliii, jr.
The {;olleu;e (.'ouncil CJul tax was ratified hv the failure of 51 percent of the college to vote
in the protestinif referendum Monday.
According to the (;C constitution o\cr half the college nnist participate for a referendum to be
\ alid. 515 votes were cast Monday while 551 were recpiired.
There were 280 votes against
the tax and 235 in favor of It. A
breakdown of the classes showed
that 41 per cent of the seniors,
44 per cent of the juniors, 40 per
cent of the sophomores and 46 per
cent of the freshmen voted.
To Abstain or Not
There was much discussion ac-
companying this referendum.
Many students who were in favor
of the tax felt that their vote
would be more effective if they
did not participate at all and the
quota be missed as a result. This
was advocated by the RECORD in
a recent editorial.
The referendum was provoked
by the circulation of a petition op-
posing the CC's decision to levy
the Gul tax. The tax was passed
I by a 5-4 vote of the CC in Octo-
ber after the submission of a re-
I port by a committee headed by
Tom Piper '59, which studied the
Gul's predicament.
An important factor in the CC|
decision was that each man no
pays $1 of the CCF tax to subs|
dize the yearbook debt.
$6.04 Tax
The tax will be $6.04 in ex
change for which each student
will receive a Gul. The tax will
be added to the students' college
bill for the second semester.
The ratification of this tax fol-
lows the defeat of the blanket
Houseparty tax proposed by the
Mangel Committee. Both of these
issues were settled by referendum,
reflecting a student drive to voice
a more definite opinion on import-
ant Lssues.

Two scoring sprints around right
end by halfback Chip Ide were

victory over Wesleyan last Sat-
urday on Weston Field and the

Tife Was Inevitable^
Says Professor Wald
Life, according to Professor
George Wald of Harvard, probab-
ly arose from the random meeting
of organic molecules in the sea
about two billion years ago.
For about two billion years these
molecules had been accumulating
in a kind of "soup", until finally
they became united into a com-
pound which had what we would
call life. In the absence of other
life there could be no decay of
these molecules, nor could they
oxidize since there was apparently
no free oxygen in the air.
One of the most interesting re-
sults of this theory on the origin
of life, Wald pointed out, is that
it reduces the start of life to "in-
evitability" on any earth-type
planet. Astronomers estimate that
there are about 100,000 of these
planets in our galaxy, and some-
thing like ten million, million of
them in the universe. With life
inevitable on such planets, it fol-
lows that several of these planets
have life equal or superior to that
on Earth,
Current theories, Wald said,
hold that the universe is expand-
ing at an extremely rapid rate
with those galaxies farthest out
leaving the center at tremendous
speeds, A theory, known jokingly
as "The Big Bang Theory", says
that all of the galaxies were once
joined into one mass at the cen-
ter of the universe until a colos-
sal explosion started them on their
present courses.
book."
Informal Freshman Pictures
As now envisioned the format of
the '59 book will be essentially the
same as last year. Last year's high-
ly successful informal shots of the
various freshman entries will be
retained.
The November 15 deadline cov-
ers the opening section which in-
cludes the table of contents, the
dedication, a few campus pictures
and the senior pictures. The cam-
pus shots will include four "duo-
tones' if the board manages to
meet all their deadlines. These pic-
tures will not be tied together by
a series of captions that retell the
doings of the school year as was
tried in the '58 book. All but two
of the senior pictures have been
taken.
The fraternity and fall sports
sections have a deadline in De-
cember. White reported that the
same practice of allowing the fra-
ternities to handle their own
write-ups and pictures would be
followed. The activities section,
however, will concentrate on more
informal shots and will use write-
ups written by members of the
various activities concerned. Due
to a February final deadline the
sports' section will include pre-
views on spring sports.
Brooks To Lecture
Dean Robert R. R. Brooks
will present a talk on Central
America on Thursday night in
the Student Union.
Brooks spent his sabbatical
last year traveling in Central
America, as well as Mexico, the
U. S., and Canada, The talk, to
be given at 7:30 p.m., will be
accompanied by color slides.
Vestry Guest Speaks
On Missionary Work
Christian missionaries in the
modern world need a "realistic,
hardheaded sense of contemporary
events", stated The Reverend Ri-
chard Rising '42, at the St. John's
Student Vestry dinner on Monday
night.
Rising, a graduate of the Epis-
copal Theological Seminary, has
just finished three years of mis-
sionary work in the Philippines.
He stated that the Christian mis-
sion has often been unable to es-
tablish itself as the religion of the
people it serves, resulting in its
expuLsion in nationalist upsurges.
No Religrion
This leaves the people with no
religion capable of dealing with
their modern needs. To alleviate
this problem, the situation must
be realized, and the missionaries
must be more sympathetic to the
national aspirations of the people.
As a particular example. Rising
gave an account of the Episcopal
Church's missionary work in the
Philippines. "The job of the mis-
sionary is to do himself out of a
job", he said, speaking of educa-
ting the people, so that the work
to be done can be shifted to them.

Issues In Gov't Debate
"The (]astle Projiosal: an answer to stiiilent
government?" will be di.scussed jjuhlicly tonight
at ten in the Ujiperclass Loinige. Varying |)oiuts
of view ex|)resse(l in this article have been desig-
nated as: CX)MPR().\liSERS, OPPONENTS,
REACTIONARIES, CONSERVATIVES.
Representation
COMPROMISERS - The iirojiosal estab-
lishes \'irtiially two houses of legislature. C-'ol-
lege (>()uncil members are em|)owered to vote
in the best interests of all. Social (Council mem-
bers are able to represent the \iews of their
constituents in voting. These fmictions of mem-
bers are sejiarate but ecjually \alicl.
OPPONENTS - The power of the head of
a fraternity to influence the action of his bro-
thers is great, therefore the Soeial (iouneil merely
must sway fraternity membi'rs in order to defeat
any constructive act of the CC.
Tresluiwn
OPPONENTS - Freshmen should not be
members of the SC. Discussions will not be as
frank and therefore not as effective with fresh-
men present. Also, the head of house leads a
very different ty|3e of groui^ tlian does a repre-
sentative of three loosely boimd freshman resi-
lience units.
COMPROMISERS - If the Social Council is
to vote on matters concerning the entire student
body, it cannot do so if the SC does not rejjre-
sent all of tile students. It might be possible
tor till' freshman president to represent tiie class
(hrougli his Council of Entry Representatives,
out tiiis causes a conflict of function within the
members of the CC. The new jjlan includes a
dause barring tiie freshmen from discussions in
wliicli they are not affected or in cases where
the iliscussion might \iolate the Rushing Agree-
ment.
( Jnderff'aduate Council
REACTIONARIES - Abolish the College
C>ouncil and iT])lace it with an Undergraduate
Council comjoosed of heads of houses |)lus fresh-
men anil class |iresideiits. Only a complete re-
\am|)iiig of the system will be effective.
CCiNSERVATIVES - The Undergraduate
Council was abolished only five years ago be-
cause it was found that the members were so
re])resentative as not to be able to vote hir them-
selves on anything.
College Council
CONSERVATIVES - No s]5ecific changes
are required in the present system but the (X;
will try to get a better idea of public opinion
before voting on controversial issues. The stu-
dent government should be able to j^ass things
to which the students are opposed because they
do not see the im))ortance of the issues or are
just not interested enough to find out.
COMPROMISERS - Nothing can be done
by a student government with which a majority
of the students disagree. The students are in-
telligent and will not make wrong decisions if
they are effectively led to action. Also, there is
no possibility of the CC passing legislation which
will affect the College as an institution; there
need be no precautions against "tyranny of the
majority."

Voiced In Poll
Bill Tuach '59, Chairman of the
Undergraduate Committee for
Career Weekend, has announced
the results of the poll taken last
week. The aim of the poll was to
determine the preferences of the
student body in respect to topics
to be presented during the week-
end.
Leading in total number of votes
was government work and fore.gn
service, followed by advertizing,
personnel work, sales, foreign bus-
iness, investment banking ana
brokerage, and journalism.
The most popular graduate
school panels were law, Dusiness
administration, education, science,
medicine, and architecture, respec-
tively.
Response of the student poll
dropped from a record of 85.4 per
cent last year to 78.6 per cent this
year. Tuach commented that he
was pleased with the student re-
sponse and that "the committee
would do everything in its power
to follow the wishes of the stu-
dents in setting up the panels."

The speaker is Peter Percival,
21, British exchange student from
Cambridge University. Friendly
and articulate, Percival has many
ideas about the relative worth of
British and American educations.
Born in Farnborough, Surrey,
Percival attended school in Aus-
tralia for eight years and in 1948
returned t,o England to attend a
prep school: The Dragon School.
He then went to Sedbergh, a pub-
lic school in Yorkshire, and from
there to Cambridge.
An economics major, Percival's
interests outside the classroom in-
clude tennis, American football
I "I may understand it .someday"),
and field hockey.
Educational Differences
Classes are run differently at
Cambridge. There are no discus-
sion periods comparable to the
Williams conference period, and
lectures are given on a strictly im-
personal basis, with no Interi-up-
tions. A Cambridge student aver-
ages eight to ten lectures per week,
and one forty-five minute con-
ference period with his tutor.
The Cambridge man specializes
in one field of study throughout
the academic year, instead of fo .i
or five, as at Williams. In his iv i
years there, Percival has stud..:d
French, German, and economic::.
Assignments, given out by the tu-
tor, include some outside reading,
and, usually, one essay per week.
The atmosphere, says Percival is
"much slacker" than at Williams.

Penalty Shot Opens Scoring
Early play in the game was slop-
py but the forward line of 'Wil-
l.ams managed to press the Wes-
;'-y, :i defenses hard. 'With six
in''iuus remaining in the initial
!;.?!\od, a hands penalty was call-
ed : gainst a Cardinal defender.
Kem Bawden. senior center half-
back slammed a n;al penalty kick
into the left han;1 corner of the
!;oal to put (he Ephs out in front
1-0,
fiay settled down to an ex-
change of fullback kicks until late
ai the second period. Cutting in
on a loose roihng ball, sophomore
eft wing Ted Hunting fired a low
sho' past the diving 'Wesleyan
goii'ie to wrap up the scoring for
'Williams.
DeMallie, Floyd Star
Wesleyan came to life in the sec-
ond half and led by linemen Mc-
Hugh and Chase, the Redbirds
kept the 'Williams defense on the
run. One of the most sparkling
plays of the morning came when
goalie Bee DeMallie dove and
slapped a shot out of the goal as
a Wesleyan attempted to head in
a corner kick.
Wiffy Floyd, a sophomore line-
man from last year's Frosh .squad,
played most of the second half at
right wing. Although light, Floyd
outhustled the 'Wesleyan defense
and sparked the final period of
play for 'Williams.
Missing for most of the game
Saturday was co-captain Mike
Baring-Gould who in.iured his an-
kle in the Springfield game.

by speedy Mike Duval's two goals,
the Cardinals clinched the Little

In the second half, the powerful
Williams defense weakened. Mid-
way in the final stanza highly
touted center-forward Duval broke
into the clear and, on a resulting
pile-up before the goal-mouth,
the ball dribbled into the nets.
Though Williams applied great
pressure, Dubanowski. working for
his fourth shut-out of the season
held them and a scarce minute
before the contest's end a fast
break gave Duval a chance to boot
the ball past the charging Corson
for the second goal.

The unbeaten Wesleyan fresh-

What'fi yours, chum? The phrase made Victor Summers
half remember the thing he had almost more than half
forgotten (who can say why?) (me), and he stared up at
the Schaefer beer sign above (and to the right of) the
cash register. "Your kind of beer— real beer!" read the
gold lettering. Next to it, a circle, apparently perfectly
round, contained the word Schaefer, on a red panel,
superimposed upon a spike of barley.
Smiling— but not with his lips entirely— he thought of
his father, Victor Summers Senior. How many times
had /((' sat on this stool (or .stood behind it), the amiable,
amber Schaefer cool in his throat? Would you say forty-
seven times, or inore than that? Victor Summers Senior,
could hit (often) the bull's-eye
of a dart board. He could beat
(sometimes) the pinball machine.
He could open a bottle of Schaefer
with (either) hand. And he knew
(long ago) that experts call
Schaefer round becau.se it has a
smooth harrnony of flavors.
But all that was water over the dam, water which—
during the floods— had gone over (and in, and around)
Victor Summers Senior's house, and carried it (and him,
for that matter) away. And now, today (since morning)
Victor Summers had learned the flood waters were rising
again, and there was water in his basement.
Victor Summers stared, not unthoughtfully, at the pur-
ple-veined, screaming face of the bartender who held
him— by the lapels— all desirous of an answer. The bar-
tender said: "For the last time, what's yours, chum?"
Quietly, with dignity, Victor Summers' answer came. He
said: "My kind of beer is Schaefer."

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMHKH 12, 1958
Varsity, Frosh Teams Sweep Football Contests
Frosh Team Commences Bid For
little Three Title By 27-0 Victory
By Rick Seideiiwurm
Commencing their bid for the
Little Thiee title, the Williams
'leshman football .squad coasted
,) a 27-0 win over Wesleyan Sal-
iday morning on Cole Field.
The Ephs f4ained yardage virtu-
Uy at will throughout the con-
st. As in last week's Norwich
intest, fumbles and penalties
lut the gate on many Williams
uuchrtown opportunities.
RodBiTS Scores First
Williams' first touchdown, scor-
,1 by George Rodgers on a two
;ird dive, climaxed a clownfield
iiarch. Pete Cotton's run on an
ption play was good for a two
Moint conversion. A 55 yard break-
way by Rodgers set up Bruce
.rinnell's slant for the second
luchdown. The aerial conversion
1 1 tempt failed.
Long runs marked the contest,
' o-Captain Mike Hopewell'.s 90
,ird touchdown run was the
;ime's highlight. Bruce Grinnell
kicked the conversion following
;lus score. Quarterback Jim Bell
ave another outstanding example
of broken-field running, going 41
yards to paydirl on an option jilay
foi' the final Eph touchdown.
Outstanding in the Eph line
were Co-Captain Paul Hill, Raw-
son Gordon, and Bill Pox. Fox,
playing his first game at tackle as
■I ru|)lacement for the injured Sel
Whitaker, was especially strong on
defen.se.
Statistics Tell Story
The yardage statistics give an
excellent indication of the one-
sided nature of the game. Williams
gained the fantastic total of 402
yards on the ground and 26 in the
air. Wesleyan was held to a mea-
ger 19 yards on the ground. The
Eph pass delense was porous,
however, as the Cardinals com-
pleted 13 of 29 aerial.s for a total
of ni yards.
The convincing Williams win
sets the stage for next week's Am-
liersl encounter. The undefeated
Jeffs also beat Wesleyan handily,
25-0, .so it looks like a hard-fought
game for the Little Three title.
Varsity Win 16-7

yard line and dodged his way [n
the Wesleyan 41. It was to no avail
however, as Williams was offside.
After an exchange of punts Wes-
leyan fumbled and Bill Hodeman
pounced on it, but on Williams
fir.st play in possession Al Brook.s
did Wesleyan the same favor. The
Cardinals were unable to move tli(
ball and kicked to Ide on the Wil-
liams 43. Carries by Rorke, Id;
and Bob Hatclier put the ball a-
cross midfield to the Cardinal 16.
From there Jim Briggs hit Dan
Fanning on the twelve with a 34-
yard aerial, Rorke carried to the
5 and Ide outraced the defenders
around riwht end for six more
points. Rorke skirted left end on
the point after to make the score
16-7.
Second Half Scoreless
The third period was .scoreless
with the only real scoring oppor-
tunity being Williams' march to
the Wesleyan three. The Purple
used up 14 plays as they ground
out 61 yards. But with a third
down and a goal-to-go situation,
a bad handoff caused a fumble and
Lenny Moore sui'rounded the ball
for Wesleyan.

Wesleyan.
Williams was unable to put to-
gether another scoring march in
the last quarter, but held Wesley-
an firmly in check and the final
score stood 16-7. j
In a post-game "riot" — in which
no one was in.iured and no damage
was done — goalposts from both
ends of the gridiron were torn
down after a short struggle, and
marched out of Weston Field and

THE MAN* WITH KOPPERS
". . . versatility recognized"
♦Arthur Herman gradiiatod from Jolin.s Hnpl<ins
in 1955 and went to work imnicdiatoly in tiio Molal
Products Di vi.sion of Koppors as a Desi gn Engineer,
In Dpcombor of tlio same ,vear. he wa.s promoted
to Suporvi.sing Engineer of the Design Sectum,
where lie found that Kopper.s offers truly challeng-
ing prolilenis in design engineering.
Then, in September 1957, Art was transferred
to the Coupling Sales Department as a Coupling
Application Engineer. He is serving in that
capacity now.
An employment record alone is seldom descrip-
tive of the opportunifi(-s and responsibilities maiy
positions represent. For instance. Art was recently
designated as Division Representative to investi-
gate the potentialities of a new product developed
by a European manufacturer. This assignment
took him abroad.
Art is particularly articulate about his job anrl
the constant challenge it presents for him .is an
individual.
"When I first started as a design pngii^eer." be
said, "I didn't realize the scope of activities in
which I'd be called on to participate. Sure, T had
g,)<)(l theory and background for design engineering,
but I had little concept of the problems of produc-
tion, and even less familiarity with the techniques
of sales or marketing. My work as an application
engineer gets me into almost every phase of the
business — development, production, marketing,
fin;uice, and so forth.
"At Koppers I feel that I receive the necessary
guicianie to enable me to contribute full.v to the
Company's activities. I am encouraged to make
decisions. If these decisions involve factors with
which I am not entirely familiar, I can rely on the
judgment and experience of others working with
me. At all times, 1 feel that I have real access to
upper levels of management where my ideas have
alwn.ys been received thoughtfully and given full
ron.sideration. Now, I feel confident that I am
doing a iob for Koppers, and, what is equally
important, that my as.sociates and .supervisors
understand and appreciate it, too! I have found
that through such methods as the Management
Appraisal Program, Koppers makes every effort
to lecognize and reward good performance."
A lot of things could be said about Art Herman,
and the career he found at Koppers. But as the
manager to whom Art reports commented recently:
"Art's an able man . . . we're glad to have him. He
is making a real contribution to the Company.
All we in management can do is try our best to
develop a man's best qualities and, when he proves
to have the versatility that Art has, to see that
this versatility is recognized."
If you feel that this is the atmosphere in which
you would most like to build your profession and
mark your progress, write to the Manager of Man-
power Planning. Koppers Company, Inc., Pitts-
liiMcrh 19, Pennsylvania or contact your College
Placement Director.

*Chapin-tzi* Rites
By Eric Davis
Under the dark eaves of night
slrode the noisome pestilence, ex-
lialing billows of fumes through
its hundred burning eyes, hi.ssing
in the streets. As it approached,
one could .see the natives, stripped
to the waist: the torches shone a-
gainst their burnished skins and
threw weird orgies of shadow over
the huge square symbols which
they held like great upraised hands
in praise beneath the brows of the
giant stone idol, Chapin-tzi.
The pyre was lit.
The High Priest appeared before
lliem. President James Phinney
Baxler. who has had considerable
contact with Williams-Wcsleyan
football games, warned that Wes-
leyan teams have shown a pen-
chant for upsets in the past and
are never to be taken lightly.
He was followed by the Three
Magi. Coach Len Walters, who
spoke last and who should know
about these things, recalled the
dismal 0-0 tie two years ago and,
notwithstanding his faith in this
Purple team, issued grave warn-
ings against overconfidence.
Other sages .spoke.
But the sacred syllables of Wis-
dom were lost upon the brazen ear
of the multitudes. An empassioned
demagogue appeared and fever-
ishly proclaimed the single obses-
sive thought of the universe to be
that "Williams College is going to
beat Wesleyan by a large score!"
and the great beast of the horde,
eyes crackling with sadistic glee,
.shreiked it.s approval in a frenzy of
fury.
Then everybody went home.
Not even one sacrifice. What a
pity.

zations in elections as compared
with the role of personal organi-
zations supporting candidates."
This difference, he explained, is
the same as that between the Re-
publican Party and the Citizens
for Eisenhower.
"I would like to visit certain
states like Michigan and New York
where party organization is stron-
ger and certain states like Ohio
and West Virginia where party
organization is weaker."
Won't Teach at Amherst
Burns firmly denied a rumor
that he was going to teach at Am-
herst next semester. He said he
would stick by this decision no
matter what the outcome of the
Williams-Amherst game Saturday
will be.
23 Students Act As
Teaching Assistants
Twenty-three undergraduates are
serving as Teaching Assistants at
Williams this year. Sixteen are
seniors; the rest, juniors.
These students are paid by the
college to take some of the burden
off the regular instructors and
professors. Some are in charge of
science labs, others correct tests,
and two, Bill Lockwood '59, and
Jim Wallace '59, are teaching cor-
rective composition in English.
The physics department leads
with eight students employed.
These assistants help out by cor-
recting tests and by taking charge
of some of the lower lab sections.
The economics department runs
a close second with seven.
Other departments using stu-
dent teachers are chemistry with
five, English with two, and history
with one. AI Donovan '59, helps
out in the American History and
Literature major.
Exchange Student
"I am not certain how much
they (American students) know
about their majors. An American
college man is about a year be-
hind the English in his major sub-
ject. American students, however,
make it up the first year In grad
school. Grad school seems pretty
necessary.
"Very, very few English under-
graduates have gone to America,
and vice-versa. A lot of people do
exchanges on the graduate level.
When you go to a foreign grad
school, you mix with the same type
of people — they are all interested
in your particular field. More
English undergraduates should
come to American colleges. It
would give a broader view of Am-
erican education."

American Psychological Association
Elects Hastings To Three Divisions
Phillip K. Hastings, associate
professor of psychology and poli-
txal science and director of the
Roper Center, has been elected to
membership in three divisions of
the American Psychological As-
sociation. They are the Division of
Personality and Social Psycholo-
gy, the Division of the Teaching of
Psychology, and the Society for the
Psychological Study of Social Is-
sues.
The purpose of this organiza-
tion is to advance psychology as a
science, as a profession, and as a
means of promoting human wel-
fare. The eighteen divisions of the
Association provide a means of
giving recognition to the special-
ized interests of different p.sychol-
ogists.
American Sociological .Society
Professor Hastings also recently
accepted an invitation to become
an active member of the Ameri-
can Sociological Society, a nation-
wide organization of persons in-
terested in research, teaching and
the application of sociology.
The Society seeks to stimulate
and improve research, instruction,
and discussion, and to encourage
cooperative relations among per-
sons engaged in the scientific
study of society.
Ski Team Experiments With 'Wheel Skis'-
May Be Answer To Lack Of Snow Here
Wheel skis may be the answer to
spotty snow conditions which per-
ennially plague Coach Ralph
Town.send's efforts to train Wil-
liams College's cross country ski-
ers.
Each four foot "ski" is mounted
on four tires which permit the ski-
er to roll over almost any terrain.
They arc most effective on grass
to simulate crass country running.
A rachet arrangement locks the
front wheels after each forward
thrust, preventing the skier from
slipping backward. Each ski buck-
les just back of center to permit
a natural cross country runniuH
style.
The wheel skis are used primar-
ily to teach the technique of cross
country running and therefore arc
used in late November when skiers nnds the wheel skis enabl.
reach that phase of their training. , ^et the conditioning effeci
At present, they are taking con-
ditioning exercises trotting around
the countryside.
But Townsend is getting .some
extra mileage out of the contrap-
tion by having Tom Phillips '61
use them now. Phillips has an in-
jured ankle which the pounding
effect of running aggravates. He

Divergent Opinions Aired At Debat
On Proposed Constitutional Changes
A coll()(|iumii was held Wednesday nifrht on the suhicct of the
recent plan s.ihniitted hv Ted Castle '60, tor the reNJsioii oi tiie
Stuileiit Ciovernnient Constitution, rresiciin^ at tiie ineetinu tiiit
took plaei' in the Upper Class lounge were Dean H. 1{ R H,(,„ks
Castle, Jerry Packard, and Keith Criltii
Divergence of Views
As the discussion progressed,
tliere appeared a basic divergence
among tlie views expressed. Tliis
divergence centered not only a-
round concrete proposals for the
form of student government but
al.so around the very philosophy
behind this organiiiation. Accord-
ing to Dean Brooks, there has long
been a conflict in this college's
representative organs between
"leadership" on one hand and rep-
resentation on the other.
Griffin was on the whole in fa-
vor of the status quo. He felt that
the CC under the present set up
is and .should be the leading ele-
ment in student government. He
felt that the Castle plan is "both
iM philosophy and in specific mo-
iions cuntrary to the interests of
,..(; college".
Taekard
Packard in opposition to Grif-
fin took up a liberal viewpoint by
coming out in favor of the Klein
plan, which would establish a one
council government oriented a-
round the fraternities. He felt that
the main trniihlp with the present
situation is that it is not repre-
sentative enough. Packard, how-
ever, stated that the Klein plan
was not feasible at this time and
therefore backed up the Castle
proposal as the next best thing.
The Castle plan itself is basi-
cally a compromise between these
two points of view. What this
plan does is to raise the Social
Council to a position roughly equi-
valent to the CC. In this way Cas-
tle feels that both leadership and
representation can be accompltsh-
cd at the same time. His proposal
was accepted by the SC on Tues-
day night with a few minor a-
mendments by an 11-3 vote.
Spring St. Traffic
To Be Alleviated
Surveying by State engineers be-
gan last week as preparations for
widening Spring Street got under-
way. The long-contemplated pro-
ject was brought into action this
Fall as the result of a proposal by
Selectman Louis Rudnick.
It is now virtually impossible to
drive from one end of the artery
to the other during the middle of
the day or on any big weekend
without being held up at some
point.
There has been no estimate of
the cost released by state authori-
ties, but the cost will be covered
by state aid to Williamstown. Rud-
nlck's proposal evolved from a dis-
cussion about the town's applica-
tion for aid this year.
Goal
Town Manager Maynard Austin
stated that the goal of the plan
was to widen the famous Wil-
liamstown street to 38 or 40 feet
from the present width of 32 feet.
Most of the space will be taken
from the west side of Spring
Street. Actual work will begin
next summer with approval of
state funds.
College Receives
Corporate Grants
Williams recently received two
corporation gifts, totalling $1,640.
The Texas Company has donat-
ed fifteen hundred dollars under
the company's aid to education
program. In addition to providing
for direct financial assistance to
privately financed schools and u-
niversities, Texaco's program in-
cludes 175 scholarships tor men at
67 educational institutions.
The other grant, also unrestrict-
ed, was from the Corn Products
Company for $140. Williams was
one of 94 American colleges and
universities given up to $1,420
each in recognition of the contri-
bution made to the company's .suc-
cess by the institutions of higher
learning which have schooled com-
pany personnel. Williams has three
alumni employed by the Corn
Products Company.
According to President James
P. Baxter 3rd, both gifts will be
used to increase faculty salaries.
Ephs, Lord Jeffs
Foes Since 'S4
The seventieth game between the
Ephmen and the Lord Jeffs will
be played on Amherst's Pratt field
this Saturday. In the series which
dates back to 1884. Williams'
teams have won forty, lost twenty-
six, and tied four.
In the last six contests the Pur-
ple and Gold has won only the
last two. In 1956 Williams upset
a confident Sabrina team 27-12.
As most will remember, last
year's win over Amherst 39-14,
was only one of a series of wins
by a spectacular, undefeated Eph
team led by Captains Whitey
Kaufmann and Carl Schoeller.
The members of this year's team
have not lost a Little Three game.
But, because of the nature of the
rivalry between the two schools,
the Ephmen realize the danger of
overconfidence.

DEAN BROOKS
a clarification
'62 Council Elects
Phil Wirth was elected pre-
sident of the freshman class
last Tuesday by the Freshman
Council, which includes rep-
lesentatives from each entry,
Ashton Crosby was named So-
cial Chairman, Price Gripekov-
en, secretary-treasurer and
Mike Keating, College Council
representative in balloting su-
pervised by Ron Stegall, presi-
dent of the Junior Advisors.
Wirth, from Nashville, Tenn.,
attended Peabody Demonstra-
tion School. Keating lives In
Cambridge and graduated from
Brooks School. Gripekoven, who
is from BronxvlUe. went to
Kent.
The College Administration in
response to a request from the So-
cial Council last week issued a
clarification of Hell Week ipre-
fraternity initiation period) rules.
The Dean in consultation with the
SC Hell Week Committee issued
the clarification.
In addition to the non-degra-
dation of pledges rule established
by the Trustees last year, three
specific rules have been added.
1 — No pre-initiation activities,
except in the case of community
or college projects may take place
outside the fraternities involved.
2 — No pledge may be required
to devote more than two hours
each day to pre-initiation activi-
ties.
3 — No pre-initiation activities
may take place after midnight.
The directive of the Dean says
that prohibition of hazing "is not
intended to prevent the require-
ment by fraternities of ligitimate
pre-initiation activities from pled-
ges. Tlie basic principle in requir-
ing these duties, however, is that
they must be worthwhile in them-
selves . . ."
The administration lists as
worthwhile the following: clean-
ing or repairing the house and
grounds; learning fraternity or
college history songs, rituals, etc.;
assisting welfare or public agen-
cies; taking part in recognized ex-
tra-curricular activities; perform-
ing normal house duties or respon-
sibilities; meeting recognized stan-
dards of personal conduct.
Last year's rule prohibited ac-
tivities intended to worry, tire or
ridicule pledges; things which
might result in injury or loss of
time for academic work; and
pranks which cause a public nui-
sance.
The performance of "Brilanni-
cus" Monday evening at Adams
Memorial Theatre, given by a
group of seven actors from the
newly-constituted Vieux-Colombi-
er in Paris, was, on the whole, tra-
ditional. The direction of the plav
was clear and incisive. The action
moved swiftly during the first
three acts, and slowed uOWii duiiiif^
tlie last two when the lines were
read more deliberately and with
longer pauses.
Acts I and IV were dominated
by the richly garbed statuesque
figure of Agrippine, played by
Mme. Marguerite Jamois. Her
reading was the most traditional
of all. She sang the alexandrines,
prolonged the vowel sounds of the
rhymes, and often, when not re-
citing, stared into space with a
deliberate fixity. Tlie Nero of M.
Jacques Francois was appropriate-
ly the central figure of the trage-
dy. He moved back and forth be-
tween the torment of love and po-
litical machinations. This actor
closely followed the development
of the character as Racine pre-
sents him, and made the audience
believe at the end of the play thai
he was liberated from liis mother,
rid of the rivalry of Britannicus.
and ready for more serious and
more numerous crimes. The tense
conflicts in this Nero made him
perspire and rant, again in the
traditional histrionics of classical
tragedy.
The simplicity of the smaller
parts was perhaps more appreciat-
ed by the American audience: the
youthful lovers, Britannicus 'Hu-
bert Noel I and Junie ^Martine
See Page 4, Col. 3
md siniultaiieonsK cinchinj; the
Little Three title, which Williams
has dominated for two years. Last
fall these two teams clashed on
We.ston Field, both protecting un-
defeated records and Williams de-
cisively whipped the visitors 39-
14. Although coaches, John Mc-
Laughry and Len Watters both
claim the underdog role, Williams
will hold a slight edge, 7 points
by the oddsmakers, based on their
■38-7 victory over Amherst's only
unbeaten foe. Tufts.
Amherst has accumulated 21
points this year to theii ouponent.s]
60 displaying a powerful offense
from their unorthodox "side-sad-
dle T". Jack Close operates out of
the tailback position for the Jeffs
and is definitely their biggest
threat. In seven games this season
he has contributed 731 yards run-
ning and passing. Amherst occas-
ionally uses a direct center past
the quarterback to the tailback
which allows Close the option to
run or throw on tlie wide plays.
See Page 3, Col. 4
Freshman Warnings
The preliminary freshman
warnings, involving 148 mem-
bers of the class, were posted
on Nov. 1. While seemingly a
large amount, this is the low-
est percentage warned in the
last four years. This fact was
expected by the administration,
for the class entered Williams
with highest academic ratings.
The D warnings accounted for
some 85 per cent of the total.
According to Dean Cole, "These
warnings are meant to be an
aid to the freshman in his at-
tempts at adjusting to the col-
lege academic life and to help
him correct any mistakes that
he might now be making."
Berkshire Group
To Sing Tonight
The third concert of the school
year under the auspices of the
Williams College Music Depart-
ment will be given tonight at 8:30
in Chapin Hall. The Berkshire
Choral Society, directed by Robert
Barrow, will be featured.
The first part of the program,
for the Christmas season, will in-
clude "Great Is the Lord", by
Hienrich Schuetz. and "O Magnum
Mysterium ", a motet for four voi-
ces, by Tomas Luis De Vittoria.
Following these will be three
English carols: "Yeoman's Carol",
"The Truth from Above", and
"Wassail Song". G. F. Handel's
"How Beautiful Are the Feet"
from the Appendix to "Messiah"
precedes the intermission.
Secular Music
The remaining portion of the
program will be entirely devoted
to secular music. A group of 5
songs for women's voices, "Petites
■Voix", by Francis Poulenc, will be
followed by three folksongs, "I
Sowed the Seeds of Love", arrang-
ed by Oustav Hoist, "Sweet Night-
ingale", arranged by Katherine
Davis, and "Pat Works on the
Railway", arranged by Philip
James. Concluding the program,
the Berkshire Choral Society will
present three choruses from Gil-
\ bert and Sullivan operettas.

A Better Way
Monday's referendum, although succe.ssful
in upholding a valuable piece of College Coun-
cil legislation, demonstrated the inherent weak-
ness of the existing referendum procedure as a
check upon the elected representatives of the
student body. With the requirement that half the
students vote in order to make such a referendimi
valid, abstention is the most certain means to
obtain a desired verdict, a verdict which may
fail to reflect accurately student opinion. A
change is necessary to remove this ]iossibility,
and the RECORD therefore proposes;
( 1 ) That the percentage of voting students
necessary to render the decision of a referendum
valid be lowered, perhaps to twenty-five percent.
(2) That the number of signatures needed
to precipitate a referendum be raised to fifteen
percent of the student body.
If these two suggestions were adopted by
the College Council, the RECORD feels that
|)()ssil)iliti('s for a verdict by abstention would be
a\ oidi'd, and that rule by a small minority would
also he discouraged by stricter ro<|iiireinents ii|)-
011 the right of petition.
With the system of refereiiduni \ oting there-
by buttri'ssed, the jirescnt arraiigcnicMt ol stu-
dent goM'rnnient would, we led, be siiHieiently
strengthened to meet cinrent campus criticisms.
The Castle Proposal has two weaknesses
which nuist be avoided; eom|)l('xit\' ol student
goxcrniiicnt operations iuid the tliicat of jiaro-
ehial influence from fraternities emhoklened
by powers virtually equal to thosi' of the College
(^oimcil.
Next Monday night the College Council
will vote on the Castle pro|)osal. The measure
should be consitlered carefully by each member
of the Comicil, because it )>resents a legitimate
effort to compromise between representative and
senatorial go\ernnient. Yet we feel that the com-
promi.se should he defeated and action taken to
buttress the present structure. A better way to
solve the problem is available.
Letters To The Editor
REBELS WITHOUT CAUSE
To the RECORD;
1^'or almost tliree years 1 have watched with
considerable disgust the repeated and almost pa-
thetic attempts of a certain small element of
selt-styled "angry little men" on this campus
u) register then disajJiiroval of the social climate
at Williams. While i would be among the first
to admit that our so-called "little world in tlie
iierKsiiircs is far from a perfect place, and that
a coiisiiierable group of us is extremely ajxithetic
cts to tiK' iinpro\('inent of this condition, 1 find it
most upsetting that tlie intelligent o])position
iroin cam|)iis "radicals" which used to add a cer-
tain Havor and \itality to college life, has now
elegeiierated into a frantic desire on tlie jxut of
a tew people to he heard on every issue, tor any
reason at all, despite a complete lack of desire
to be constructively critical.
Some of the more recent contributions of
these critics of the WiHiams scene serve to il-
lustrate the depths to which tiiis grouj) has fal-
len. Their \aried efforts have included the mus-
ical interlude at last s|)ring's Cargoyle tapping,
and more recently the distorted, illogical and in-
ept circular written in opposition to the (JC Gul
tax. Setting out to categorically correct the "mis-
staleiiieiits" ol the CC regarding the merits of
the plan, these modern-day pamphleteers suc-
ceeded only in furdier clouding the issue with
a magnificent display of per\erted logic and
distortion, ending with a plea to the student body
to reject the tax and spend the $24.00 thus saved
"having a hall at Winter Carnivar'. Neither of
these episodes, however, came close to the ex-
hibit of low cynicism and intellectual bank-
ruptcy in the missal entided "An Argument A-
gainst the Abolishing of Apadiy", which was
circulated through the houses this week. Any-
one objectively reading this loajn'r must agree
that it displays nothing except extremely bad
taste, both in its language and reference to per-
sonalities.
Do these peojile who jirofess such an abid-
ing interest in the problems of Williams College
really have so little to offer? We earnestly await
some positive contribution by our rebels with-
out a cause.
MINORITY RULE
To the RECORD:
1 think it deplorable that our student government is so attiim
that the non-voters in an all-college poll are in essence voting lor
an issue. The situation would not be so bad if we were sure ilmt
all of those who did not vote took this action as the best wa\ of
promoting their particular cause. Rut let us face facts, there ,ire
ii large number of |H>o|5le who are just naturally ajjathetie and
who just won't botiiei- to vote on an issue. 1 feel that it is nnlair
lor anyone to tirbitrarily arrange things so that this large n,),,.
partisan and indifferent group can be used as an effective |)ailisan
group.
1 do not think that it is necessary for us to state that ini,ie
than 50 percent of the school must vote in order for the vote li he
considered valid. If an issue is "hot" enough so that it will he
tiiken before the whole college, 1 would think that more ihan
50 jjercent would vote. Rut even if 50 pi'rcent of the sehodl is
not interested enough to get out and belj) in running their ,sel I
then they should not complain if a smaller but interested gmup
makes the decisions for them. Ry a "smaller but interested group",
1 do not mean the CC but rather that percentage, no matter Imw
small, of the entire student body which will vote on an issn. if
given a chance.

Eph Soccer Aims For
Little 3 Title Saturday
Williams will have its first ahnt „.,j i. , *
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14,
1958
Williams will have its first shot
a I the Little Three soccer title
since 1954 Saturday as they meet
a once defeated and highly rated
;i!iiherst squad. Coach Henry
Fiynt's Freshman team will be
aiming for their first win in five
y.ars.
Coach Clarence Chaffee has
worked towai'd the Amherst game
pi imarily by sharpening the punch
in his forward line. All season the
E;)hs have outshot their opponents
bi t havo only been able to come
II ;i with ten goals. Amherst on the
01 her hand has .scored 33 goals in
11, 1' same number of games.
Amherst High Scorers
I'he big guns for the Sabrinas
l,,ve been right wing Skip Sykes
and center-forwai'd Steve Van den
Tooin. They both have nine goals
Inside left Jim Giosfeld has four
Koals this season while left wing
Bolton-Smith has three.
The line is not the only danger-
ous part of the Amherst attack.
The Williams vetei'ans remember
well how center halfback Tom Ri-

Amherst Sportswriter
Predicts Eph Victory
By Dick Spaulding
Sports Editor, Amherst STUDENT
Since Amherst's collective sports
mind first turned to thoughts of
football and the 1958 season, there
has been a dark cloud hovering
over everyone's perception. That
cloud is Williams.
Favors Ephs
The outcome of this year's Wil-
liams game has never been in
doubt for most Amherst men. It
is the size of the outcome only
which is debated. When question-
ed about the traditional game by
an outsider, an Amherst man is
likely to merely shake his head
forlornly.
The loss of three Williams play-
ers was unfortunate. Whatever
the outcome of the game, however,
Amherst will feel that it has play-
ed THE Williams football team.

Face Jeff Squad
Led by Co-captains George Sud-
diith and Bill Moomaw, the Wil-
liams varsity cross countiy team
will face Amherst this week on the
latter's cour.se.
Williams so far this season has
compiled a 2-2 record in dual
meets. The Ephs will pin their
hopes on Moomaw, Sudduth, Dave
Canfielri and Buzz Morss, who
have all run very fast races at one
time or another.
Even Match
Both Amherst and Williams have
already lost to Wesleyan and are
thus fighting it out for second
place in the Little Three. The
Jeffs are very closely ranked to
Williams this year in cross coun-
ti-y standings.
The freshman squads of the two
colleges will meet each other im-
mediately preceding the varsity
match. Williams will put forth as
its main threat Spike Kellogg, who
broke the freshman course record
at Williamstown two weeks ago.

Joe Shields plays the offside
end. Amherst always shifts their
backfield to the wide side of the
field, thus Shields is always near
the side lines. The 195 lb. senior
does all the punting and kicking
oft with good distance, but is very
slow getting the ball away on the
punts and should have one block-
ed. Shields is the favorite target
foi the aerials of Close and Leach
and is an excellent receiver.
Chuck Rideout in the pivot po-
sition is probably the Jeffs' best
lineman, both offensively and de-
fensively. On defense he plays the
middle linebacker and fills the
holes fast. He doesn't drop off well
on the pass plays and leaves a gap
in the area right over center in
Amherst's 4-5 and 6-3 defenses.
Preceding the football game Sat-
urday will be freshman and varsity

THK 1958 BAND
in marching attack, surprise formation
Featuring its new "marching at-
tack", the Williams College band
will perform at Amherst Saturday
during the game and will have a
surprise formation at half-time.
The marching formations are an
innovation this year made possible
by the numerical strength of the
band.
Since the band needed a lined
field on which to practice, the
Building and Grounds Depart-
ment have mapped out a minia-
ture lined football field behind
Chapin Hall. This area has been
affectionately dubbed "Shainman
Memorial Theatre" in honor of
this year's director.
Last week the band's perform-
ance revolved around a "reverse
W" formation in which the band
first formed a "W" on the Wes-
leyan side of the field, and then
witli both ends remaining in
place, the body of the "W" wallced
acro.ss the field to form the "W"
on the Williams side. During these
formations, the band likes joking-
ly to cite their lack of fumbling
instruments, "despite the great
pressures and tensions."
Leading the band this year is
Bo Kirshen '59. Bo, who is also

president of the group, is assisted
by the co-managers, Steve Ross
'60, and Dave Rust '60. Dave Hall
'61, has worked out many of the
formations.
According to faculty director,
Irwin Shainman, the philo.sophy of
the band is to have the organiza-
tion as casual as possible. We
don't want men "dressed like door
men," Shainman noted. We aim
for "as little militarism as is com-
patible with marching in step and
starting and stopping together."
Within the Little Three bands
there is an informal, good-natured
competition as to whicli group can
perform best at the games. Since
Wesleyan did not march last week,
tlie band members feel they liave
an edge in the competition.
Britannicus . . .
Sarcey > who projected natural- 1
ne,ss and sincerity in their roles;
Burrhus (Claude Martini who was
convincing as the aging soldier,
strong in his righteousness; and
especially Narcisse, played by Ray-
mond Gerome, who was also the
director of tire production. The
subtlety and sobriety of Narcisse's
characterization offset the more
explosive, more elementary Nero.
Narcisse was the dark command-
ing figure, the shadow of Nero, the
evil conscience. His diction was
the most natural and the most ef-
fective.
The entire production, for which
M. Gerome was responsible, sus-
tained the major lines of the tra-
gedy in a thoroughly intelligent
way. It lacked the great surge of
tragedy and it lacked great voices.
The reciting of the lines was more
intelligible than musical, more en-
lightening tlian warm. But the
performance, as a whole, was, for
the student members of the au-
dience, an admirable initiation to
the noble aesthetics of Racine.
Amherst Impressions
The Amherst fan has several
deeply rooted Impressions of tlie
Williams team. Hedeman is a le-
gend, Ide is like liglitning. but his
press agents still can't convince
most Jeff fans that he is a good
defensive player, Rorke, the elder,
is the one to be feared. He was
the whole Williams team three
years ago. He's fust, shifty, and
most dangerous of all, he's always
a threat to pa,ss. Higgins is the
capable, steadying influence which
integrates Williams into a fear-
some football machine.
However, all is not spinach and
sour cream at Amherst. Close is
terrific. Leach, Farina, and Deli-
georges are good, capable ball-
players. The Jeff secondrtiy b
much better defensive una than it
was a year ago. Greer, Suscy ru
out, and Guetti are rug^rd ' hard"
hitting linemen, Shields, Uie fast
est man on the squad can be
great, but he has to be mdused t
live up to his potential °

Hell Week Regulations
Discussed By Houses
By Stu Levy
Rciictiun in Ihe houses to the
,'w prc-initiatioii restrictions set
nth by Hie collese last week was
iried. The main cliange in tlie
.irmer rules is a two-hour maxi-
uim for required pledge duty.
Some houses felt that it is "sen-
lally a good idea to restrict Hell
Week to a sensible arrangement
IS far as pledges' lime is concern-
ed, but this does not imply any
;eal change in the nature of Hell
Week, only in the extent of it."
Several houses felt unconcerned,
lor they either do not participate
m any pre-initiation rites, or else
hmit their own activities anyway.
Oth.r houses however, have voic-
> J strong criticism against the

CC Defeats New
Government Plan
The College Council defeated 9-
4 the proposals for revision of its
constitution made by F. C. Castle,
Jr. '60, after a long discussion
Monday night.
A motion to amend the consti-
Uition so that 15 per cent of the
sludents would be required to pe-
tition a referendum with no min-
imum voting requirement was tab-
led 7-6 to allow careful considera-
lion of the matter. It was felt by
.supporters of this motion — which
-Avas derived in part from a REC-
ORD editorial of last Friday— that
il would be the responsibility of
the individual voter to prevent a
tyranny of the minority" which
might result from such a .system,
and that such a referendum pro-
" edure would generate interest in
'oUege affairs.
The Council deferred action on
pi^oposals by Martin '60, to require
■nembers to consult their constitu-
nts or the Social Council linter-
raternityi before taking an "im-
ijortant action."
Foreign Students
Rardin '59, of the College Cha-
lel introduced di.scussion on the
lature and method of collecting
he funds which support foreign
Indents at Williams. Action on the
'leans to collect the equivalent of
■■2.50 per man was tabled.

Hell Week chairman noted, "we
feel that pledge duties are helpful
in molding typical men for our
fraternity— some of our rites take
more time than the two-hour lim-
it."
Another chairman rebelled a-
gainst the "interference" of the
college in fraternity affairs. Still
others advocated pre-initiation ac-
tivity as a good part of the pled-
ges' training. "Though he may
legret it as a pledge, he will look
back on it as a noble part of his
college career."
Help Week
The most general criticism cen-
tered around "Help Week." With
a two-hour limit many of the
houses will not allow their pledges
to participate in this community-
help project. "We're just ignoring
Help Week. Our pledges will be
spending all their time working for
the house." Oiie house chairman
noted, however, that most of the
help projects ai'e not extremely
necessary. "They were even going
to leave up the football stands so
as to give the pledges something
to do!"
Stand Critieized
Another chairman criticized the
college for taking so "nebulous"
a stand on Hell Week. "Either the
college backs Hell Week thorough-
ly as .some value, or else advocates
its complete removal. I .see no real
asset, when it is restricted to such
an extent."
Although there are these senti-
ments against the new rules, the
general house comment is: "We'll
abide by the rules."

Ephs Tie 2-2 In Soccer
By Toby Smith
Williams came frr-m behind twice
Saturday to notch a 2-2 tie a-
gainst a heavily favored Amherst
team that was shooting for the
New England Soccer title. With
2 seconds remaining in the last
overtime period, sophomore left
halfback. Rick Gilbert, gunned a
35 yard shot into the upper cor-
ner of the Amherst goal to bring
off the tie for the Ephs.
Coach Clarence Chaffee was
outwardly pleased after the tra-
ditional encounter as his team
ended the sea.son with a 3-4-1 rec-
ord and a tie for the Little Three
championship.

iVeM;s Notes
Air Force Ground Program -
The United States Air Force
has instituted a program to
grant ground personnel com-
missions to college seniors on
the basis of a three month
training period at Lackland
Air Force Base, Texas. Com-
missions carry an obligation of
three years active duty.
Prison Play - Giles Playfair,
Director of the AMT, recently
attended the production of a
play produced at Ma.ssachu-
setts penal institution near
Boston. Playfair considered the
quality of the production irre-
levant and felt the plea.sure the
production afforded the in-
mates who participated in it of
greater importance.
New England Premier - "Pan-
ther Panchali," the Hindu film
which established an unprece-
dented record of winning major
awards at five international
festivals, will have its New Eng-
land premier at the Berkshire
Museum's Little Cinema in
Pittsfield from November 25,
through December 1.
I liams was facing one of Amherst's
finest teams that boasted a 6-1
record and was tied for the New
England lead with Trinity and
j Connecticut. By the end of the
first quarter, however, the teams
were even. Williams and Amherst
have been separated by more than
one goal only once in the past
nine years.
For the better part of the game,
the Ephmen outplayed their rivals
and for the eighth straight game,
Williams outshot its opponent.
Bolton- Smith Scores Two
Amherst scored first on the only
defensive lap.se of the afternoon
as left wing Carlisle Bolton-Smith
took a cross from center forward
Pete Van den Toorn and tallied
at 10:20 of the fourth quarter.
With only three minutes re-
maining in the game. Fred Briller,
playing his first year on the var-
sity pounded a loo.se ball past the
Amherst goalie to tie it up.
The game then extended into
two five minute overtime periods.
The Sabrinas wasted little time
in getting their second goal off
the head of Bolton-Smith in the
first overtime period.
See Page 3, Col. 1
Williams Chest Fund
Gains 92% Of Goal
Jim Hartley, chairman of the
Williams Chest Fund di'ive, said
Sunday that he expected the total
collections to reach 92 per cent of
the $6000 goal, or approximately
$5500. This amount includes pled-
ges, which are due before Wednes-
day, November 26,
As usual, the freshman cla.ss led
the college in total gifts and had
the highest average donation per
man. However, their generosity
was not sufficient to off-set the
three upper classes. Hartley des-
cribed the original goal as "realis-
tically low".
By Sam Parkhiil
10,000 wire taut fans looked on
last Saturday at Pratt Field, Am-
herst, as Danny Rorke raced 76
yards in the fourth quarter to
give Williams a 12-7 triumph over
Amherst in one of the most bitter
struggles in the 74 year history of
the rivalry. A steady rain from
the second quarter on failed to
dampen the excitement in the rug-
ged battle that was up in the air
until the final seconds. Chip Ide,
Rorkc's running mate at left half-
back, notched the first .scoie of the
game in the third quarter with a
lightening burst off tackle from
the fifteen.
Not a drenclied observer had
left the field when Rorke climaxed
a brilliant afternoon's work with
his sprint through right tackle
good for six points at 8:30 of the
final session, just 60 seconds after
Jack Close's touchdown and Bill
Wicker's conversion .sent the Jeffs
ahead 7-6.
Rorke Scores
A Williams offside on the kick-
oft following Amherst's .score al-
lowed a second kick five yards
closer. Ide took this boot on the
Williams 3 and returned it 21 yds.
to the 24. Then, after seeing rela-
tively little daylight .so far in the
game. Rorke took the handoff
from John Whitney and with the
aid of blocks by Tom Heekin, and
Tom Millington, burst off tackle
into the secondary. Cutting to the
north sideline, the 165 lb. senior,
soared past the startled defenders
and raced all the way, 76 yards,
for one of the memorable touch-
downs in Williams-Amlierst his-
tory. The try for the conversion
failed but the handkerchiefs were
out in the Williams stands and
it was all over for Amherst.

Reviewer Lauds
Barrow, Chorus
By Richard L. Crews
The Berkshire Choral Society
sang an unusual program Friday
in Chapin Hall. Professor Robert
Barrow, the conductor, did not or-
ganize the program around a sin-
gle, fairly long mass or oratorio as
he has done in the past. Instead,
the first section had five short
parts devoted to Christmas music,
while the second was divided into
three groups of fairly light secular
songs and choruses. The audience
enthusiastically extended thi.s seg-
mentation of the program by ap-
plauding after each short part of
every section, a total of more than
twenty times during the concert,
while Conductor Barrow paced a
weary path between the podium
and piano to acknowledge the ap-
plause.
Superb
The audience was justifiably en-
thusiastic. The chorus produced a
rich, full sound with the various
parts and accompaniment rarely
out of balance, and Professor Bar-
row's superb musicianship evident
everywhere: in his selection, pro-
gramming, and in two ca.ses, ar-
ranging of the music: in his spir-
ited and artistic conducting, and
even in his lecture on the history
of the Christmas carol as a musi-
cal form.

IN RETROSPECT
On Monday night the College Council clos-
ed the current debate on student go\ernment.
The debate began on October 13 when the
CC passed a $6.05 yearbook tax by a 5-4 majority.
A letter to the RECORD then demanded a ret-
erendum and by the month's end a group of in-
terested students had gathered enough signa-
tures to call a referendum on the tax.
Concurrent with (and perhaps, in part, an
effect of) the yearbook tax contro\ersy was a
debate whether the CC— the college's strongest
student goverimieutal body— was re|5resentati\ e,
This debate was touched ofl by a letter to this
newspaper by tweKe fraternity presidents ask-
ing for the reconstruction of the old Undergrad-
uate Council in which fiaternities would |ila\' a
dominant role. This ]3roposal was considered too
radical a |)lan, and the Castle Compromise was
put forth, pr()|)osing an ecpialization of tlu' pow-
er of the present CC and S(], thus gi\ ing tlie fra-
ternity unit a greater— but not an overriding-
voice in fraternity affairs.
The Ncarbook tax di'bate was resoh ed at the
ix'gimiing of last week wlien, alter the RECORD
(making use of a weakness in the CC (Jonstitn-
tion) tuged passage of the tax by abstention. The
required number of students failed— by a very
slim margin- tt) vote. It was widely believed
that many students in fa\or of the tax abstained
intentionally, and that the majority of the college
favored the tax. Thus it was shown that in this
case the CC, by origfnally )5assing the tax, had
in fact re|)resented college ojiinion.
And last Monday the debate on tlu' form of
student government was closed by the defeat of
the Castle Compromise.
This debate, however, has been constructive.
The CC is now considering ways in which the
"abstention flaw" in its constitution can be cor-
rected, and ways in which student ]jarticipation
in college government can be extended by in-
creased use of the referendum.
In retrospect the RECORD welcomes the
various outcomes of this whole debate. We are
pleased that the yearbook tax— necessary, we
feel, for the maintenance of a good yearbook-
was passed, and that the CC was thereby .shown
to be more representative than many believed.
We are jileased that the "abstention flaw" will
be amended, for— in spite of its effectiveness—
Letters To The Editor
A PROPOSAL
To the Editor:
On impoitant weekends, Saturday morning
10 and II o'clock classes arc held on l'"ridav af-
ternoon. \\'h\' not extend tliis custom to X'aca-
tions (some, if not all). For example, for Clhrist-
mas, those two classes would be pushed back a
day. There is no overly logical reason for this;
it is merely an ini|M()venient that could be in-
stituted with a niininumi of inconxenience to
faculty and administration, and with some aid
to the student.

ANSWER TO BERKLEY
To the Editor:
As a generall}' indifferent spectator, and in
answer to Mr. X's (editor's note: Peter Berkley's)
letter of last Friday, I should like to make a few
connncnts.
1 lierc was no leason to sup]3ose that the an-
chors ol tlic tlirce evil deeds to which lie refers
vM.c toe same ni each case. In fact 1 will go as
tar as asserting tiiat the)' were three .sc|3arate
groups.
The "small group" which are relerretl to as
"angrx- little men" are not, to my knowletlge,
reallx' all that aiigix'. In |)oiiit ol fact this giou]),
or groups, composed ol members Ironi all social
walks of student life are very liapj)) people
whose real jjurpose is to anger tliose luilortiuiate
persons who liavf no sense of humor and who
take (.'ollcgc politics seriously.
As to the recent "fight concerning tlu' Gul
tax. 1 was a close obscrxcr of the events and can
assure Mr. X that botli sides tboroughl)' enjoved
the fight (^witli all it's ' inudslinging"). I know
that Messrs. Edgar, llyland and llassli'r, and the
rest of the (XJ, who are, after all, iiilelligcnt gen-
tlemen with a fine sense ol humor, knew how to
take those "terrible insidts' in the spirit in which
tlu'V' were meant. Thcv do not need anybody to
be indignant lor them.
.•\s to the "Argmneut Against the .Vboli.shing
of A|iatliy." inost of the members of the CC join
me in pitying those melancholy souls who, lack-
ing a sense of ])crspectixe, were unable to .see
the binnor in that brilliant satire. (Congratula-
tions to till- author, vvhoexer he may be!)
Also, I should, as a xoter who voted against
the tax, like to ask why letters have been written
dejiloring the famous editorial advocating ab-
stention. It xvas the most sensible policy, just as
it would liaxe been wise had this ride (of over
50 |K'r cent voting) favoured the "anti-tax" |)ar-
ty. It would have been foolish not to advocate
abstension. Now the CC should he mged to in-
sure diat it cannot ha]5pen again by considering
the )5roposal in last Friday's editorial, and ap-
liroving it.

The first half lacked some of
the drama but none of the ex-

each team extended itself to the
utmost, with Williams battling on
the defensive most of the way.
Close started things moving in a
hurry as he took the opening kick-
off and dodged and drove his way
to the Williams 31; very nearly
breaking away completely. In the
first quarter Williams ran only
six plays and only great defen-
sive play, highlighted by Bob

carrying 7 out of 10 plays, Am-

he hauled in the pa.ss, but slipped

farther than the Amherst 37,

with its mind set on scoring a
touchdown and wasted little time
in doing .iust that. Ide received

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1958
Frosh Iron Men Top
Amherst For Grid Title
By Rick Seidenwiinn
A tremendous team effort by the Williams freshman football
squad gave them a ruj;j^ecl 12-0 vietory over Amherst and the Lit-
tle Three title Saturday morning. The underdog Ejjhs used only
fifteen men in the game \«'ith seven "iron men" who went the en-
tire route. The triumph closed out a succi'ssful 4-1 season for the
frosh and was their most impressive \ ictory of the campaign.
All the scoring was done in the
first half. Amherst recovered an
Eph fumble on the second play and
marched 50 yards to paydlrt in
four plays. Dave Nichols scamper-
ed 25 yards for the touchdown.
The Ephs came roaring back
with two sustained drives. The
first was highlighted by a 57 yard
pass from Bruce Grinnell to Raw-
son Gordon. John Randolph regis-
tered the tally from the one. Co-
Captain Mike Hopewell scored the
second Eph touchdown on an eight
yard end run. Aerial conversion at-
tempts were foiled after each
score.
Wales, Gripekoven Excel
The Williams defense was par-
ticularly outstanding in stopping
an Amherst attack which had net-
ted 128 points in four previous
tilts. Guard Price Gripekoven was
at the bottom of almost every pile-
up. Charley Wales consistently
foiled Amherst end runs. Paul Hill
did a fine job in dogging Steve
Van Nort, one of the finest backs
Williams faced all year.
Football
bolt over left tackle. Two carries
by Stegeman good for 20 yards
helped put the ball on the Am-
herst 15. Then with 8:14 left in
the period Ide exploded up the
middle and was in the end zone
before the Amherst safety men
moved a muscle. The attempt for
the points after failed and Wil-
liams held a narrow 6-0 lead.
The ball changed hands regular-
ly until in the last quarter Am-
herst took a short punt on the
Williams 29 yard line and started
to roll. Close carried three times
in a row for a first down on the
18. Terry Farina brought the ball
to the 2 in four straight cracks
and Close ploughed the final 2
yards to tie the score. With 8:30
remaining Bill Vickers entered the
game and calmly sent Amherst a-
head 7-6 with a perfect placement.
Williams fans had only 57 sec-
onds to wait, however, before
Rorke sewed up the game with his
76 yard journey and secure Wil-
liams fortieth victory over Am
herst and third Little Three crown
in succession.

Eph Frosh Lose
To Jeff Booters
A game Amherst freshman soc-
cer team edged Williams Saturday,
4-3, behind goalie Schulman's 42
saves.
Williams tallied first in the see-
saw contest with Keith Doerge
banging one in late in the first
period. With four seconds gone in
the second period Amherst inside
Guest slammed a pass from Robin
Mahar and Tim Evers into the
nets. Evers scored eight minutes
later for Amherst, but Williams,
with two key men out of the game
on injuries, could not score again
until late in the period. This time
it was Tom Boyden who sunk one,
assisted by Jay Tompkins and Skip
Rutherford.
The second half opened with a
score by Guest for Amherst, send-
ing the home team ahead again.
Shortly afterward Boyden hit a-
gain to tie the score for the Eph-
men.
Throughout the remainder of
the game the Ephmen kept up a
steady barrage of shots on Am-
herst's Schulman, but never again
scored. Finally one of Schulman's
long boots was carried downfield
to Amherst's star right wing Ma-
har who slapped it past Eph goalie
Jeff Corson to win the game.

Cross Country Teams Beat Jeffs,
Gain Second Place In Little Three
By Joe Wheelock
The Williams varsity cross
country team closed out the sea-
son last Saturday by defeating
Amherst 23-34.
Co-Captain Bill Moomaw won
the race in a fast 22:44.4 on the
basis of a late surge. He was fol-
lowed by Eph teammate Buzz
Morss, who has just recovered
from a bad leg. Although Green
and Morton placed third and
fourth respectively for Amherst,
Brian O'Leary of Williams manag-
ed to gain fifth place to sew up
the meet.
An interesting aspect of this
race was the running of Boots
Coleman '61, who has never run
cross country for Williams before.
Coleman placed seventh with a
23.45 clocking behind Waite of
Amherst over the loser's 3 and
three quarter mile course.
This victory over the Jeffs gives
Williams second place in the Lit-
tle Three cross country competi-
tion. Both Amherst and Williams
had lost to Wesleyan before this
meet.
Freshmen Win
The Eph freshmen also won
their meet with Amherst by an al-
most identical 22-34 score. Wil-
liams was again sparked by Spike
Kellogg, who won handily in 15:
51.5 over the roughly 2 and three
quarter mile freshman course.
This was the fourth individual
win for Kellogg this year.
Finishing second for Williams
was Jim Evans. The freshmen
nailed down second place in the
Little Three by this win.

cluction, which involves close to
100 people, 45 of them in the cast.
A very complex show technically,
it encompasses every facet of the
Theatre. William Martin and Ro-
bert Mathews, both of the drama
department, head the technical
staff. One of their biggest prob-
lems was the creation of Peter
Pan's flying machinery, which Is
operated by a crew of eight, under
the direction of David Helprin '59.
Peter Culman '59, and Alexander
Saunders '60. are producing "Pet-
er Pan", while the original music
from the James Barrie play is be-
ing prepared by Thomas Griswold
of the music department. The dan-
ces, created and supervised by

The dtscussion, sponsored by the
Williams Lecture Committee, is
planned in view of the AMT pro-
duction of James Barrie's "Peter

ls and directed by Giles Playfair.
The AMT version, Playfair noted
will eliminate much of the "silli-

grown-up approach tlian the well-
known Mary Martin musical ver-
sion. De,spite these changes, how-
ever, it will still retain much of
its childlike appeal.
Kauffmann, a prolific writer,
has authored six novels published
in America and in Great Britain.
His most recent book, published
in 1956, is "Man of the World." In
addition, Kauffmann has more

Works As V/illiatns Nightwatchman
By Dick Peterson
Rarely without a smile or a few
friendly words, Alex Cameron
Gemmell, better known as "Scot-
ty", has become a familiar and
popular gentleman with most Wil-
liams undergraduates in his duties
as nightwatchman.
Likes Boys
Gemmell's willingness to help
out the boys and to use diplomacy
and tact in carrying out his job
probably stems from his love of
people. "I like to speak to people
and make friends," he asserts.
"I've really enjoyed my job at Wil-
liams because everybody is nice to
me."
Gemmell, who has a son and
two grandchildren, moved to Wil-
liamstown eight years ago from
Manchester, Vermont. Previous to
that time he had worked as a
gardener on a private estate for
twenty-two years. He first became
a labor foreman during the build-
ing of the Clark Institute, but, due
lo a mishap, needed easier work.
ft wasn't long until Gemmell be-
came a nightwatchman at Wil-
liams.
Unforgettable Moment
Gemmell recalled interesting ex-
periences for he has had many.
He remembered an embarrassing
incident last year when some un-
■suspecting girl from Williamstown
High School walked under a mis-
guided bucket of water thrown by
a freshman. Gemmell was able to
get the boy to apologize to the
drenched girl and her Instructor,
preventing a report to the Dean.
As readily detected from his ac-
cent "Scotty" was born in Fife-

WATCHMAN "SCOTTY"
friendly lady of Hell
shire, Scotland, and went to .school
in Glasgow. When World War I
broke out, he joined the Common
Highlanders and served for four
years as a "lady of Hell", as the
Scots with their flying kilts were
called. He received the Distin
guished Service Medal for an ac-
tion which saved seven lives. He
also spent sixteen weeks in a hos-
pital with a shrapnel wound.
In his younger days Gemmell
played soccer in Scotland and be-
came a good goalie although he
modestly won't admit it. He also
fought 54 amateur boxing fights,
losing only twelve. His favorite
hobby is oil painting and this fall
he has had two works on exhibi-
tion In Lawrence Art Museum.
The thorny problem of integra-
tion came up for discussion again
Wednesday evening in a debate.
Dave Lee '60, and Bill Moomaw
'59, defended the theory that the
South should be allowed to main-
tain its segregated schools, and
Peter Percival '60, and Tom David-
son '59, defended the opposite
view.
Lee started off with the view
that the average white in the
South simply will not accept inte-
gration. He maintained further
that the inevitable consequences
of forced integration would be
continued strife and violence. Pear
of intermarriage, said Lee, is a
real and present danger to the
Southerner. Integration would, he
maintamed, drag the white schools
down to the inferior level of the
Negro's education.
Percival, speaking in opposition,
based his argument on two main
points. He said, firstly, that inte-
gration is the law of the land and
must therefore be obeyed. In the
second place segregation seriously
weakens the position of America
in world opinion. Moscow is able
to make very effective propaganda
of our failure and her success in
integration. He commented that
the Supreme Court had often, in
fact, reversed itself on such cases
in the past. He claimed that the
original decisions of the Court just
after the Civil War had been anti-
segregation and that the Court
liad later reversed itself, returning
again in 1954 to its original stand.
Moomaw's stand was based
chiefly on the fact that he be-
lieved that the Negro was making
excellent progress on his own be-
fore the Supreme Court decision
and that the decision had simply
increased antagonism toward the
Negro in the South. He cited sev-
eral advances made by Negroes, in
politics and education and claimed
that much of this progress has
been wiped out since the decision.
He further claimed that many
competent legal opinions believe
that the Supreme Court went be-
yond its jurisdiction in making this
decision.
Davidson, the last speaker for
the negative, claimed that the

form of entertainment in Chapin
Hall when the first Interfraterni-
ty Skit Night will go on stage.
All but one of the fifteen houses
and a delegation of thespians from
the Non-affiliates will present five-
minute skits in the first annual
competition. The winning house
will receive a plaque and the in-

Judging the skits will be based
on the audience reaction shown
on an applause meter and the de-
cision of three judges. Dean Ro-
bert R. R. Brooks, Chaplain Law-
rence P. DeBoer, and William J.

Cotton Flte '60, chairman of the

"The Idea of skit night is just fun,
for the enjoyment of the stu-
dents. The hope is that the under-
graduates will want to continue
skit night as a tradition at Wil-
liams." The social council is spon-
soring the program.
Former Chaplain
Talks In Chapel
Rev. William S. Coffin returns
to Thompson Memorial Chapel
this Sunday to give a .sermon on
the text: "He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death."
As chaplain here last year, Cof-
fin spoke out boldly on touchy
campus problems. He believed that
any matter that affects a person
deeply was ultimately a religious
question, and for this reason he
supported three students who re-
signed from their fraternities over
the difficult student selectivity
question. Coffin felt that the fra-
ternities fostered an anti-intellec-
tual atmosphere.
At Yale, Coffin fills an adminis-
trative post as head chaplain, co-
ordinating the activities of the dif-
ferent chaplains of the universi-
ty. Because of this fact. Coffin has
little direct contact with the stu-
dent body at Yale.

Ferrari. The finale will be an area
premier of the "Farm Journal

Williams Sports Car
Club Starts Meetings
The insignia of the Williams
Sports Car Club will soon grace
many Williams windshields as the
club rolls into action. According to
Bee DeMallie '60, vice-president of
the organization, meetings will get
underway as soon as films of the
Mille Miglia, Sebring and Nassau
races are received.
One of the club's projects will
be to sponsor Williams' first sports
car rally, a driving contest over
a complicated course at a prede-
termined average speed. The club
also plans to have well known lo-
cal drivers speak at its meetings.
In the spring, the members will
journey to Connecticut to witness
the races at the Limerock and
Thompson tracks. DeMallie em-
phasized that ownership of a
sports car is not a necessary re-
quirement for membership, so any-
one interested may join.
No Lack Of Tickets
To Thanksgiving Ball
Holding the lamp beside the gol-
den door of the Roosevelt Hotel,
two intrepid sisters of Smith are
offering a Thanksgiving Intercol-
legiate Ball as a boon to the thou-
sands lonely in New York the night
of Thursday, the 27th,
Having expended $900 in se-
curing the Grand Ballroom and
the services of the swinging Les
and Larry Elgart, they are cheer-
fully expecting one or two thou-
sand celebrants to appear. How-
ever, no tickets have been sold yet.
It appears that faith in man-
kind, if unfashionable, is not yet
dead.

hecaiise in such a situation the |)eo|)le ha\(' to
he more concerned with who achie\('S control as
the majority party more directly effect them.
Colleges and universities in America are
more a part of the community and in heinu; part,
share to a decree the apathy of the peo|)le. In
Korea the unixersities are \ery isolated from the
community ol non-scholastic learnini^ but stick
close to the core of jjractical politics actively
participating for their choices. The students use
their prestige constantly in the issues, mostly
domestic as there is not much that a small nation
as South Korea can dcj on the outside.
Jii conclusion, Koreans do tend to listen to
politics hut at the same time they are cynical.
This feeiiun 'j;oes hack not only to the recent war
but hnther in the past to Japanese, Russian and
Chinese domination, which has histeri'd this dis-
tinct trend.

Political interest has been intrinsically mixed

in the center and have wanted to reinain neutral
we have had to keep abreast of the news which

of the news, neutrality, and our location are the
nuiin reasons why Svyitzerland hei'ame such a

on controversial issues, because the very basis of the .system is tno
broad, it is too true that tiie C.C. can (thouj^h it may not) operate
as a separate entity, because its members are respon.sibli' only ti)
a valine constituency, the class.
The Castle Plan is an attem|)t to shift the basis of the svst< m
of representative strength. It moves toward the c>rii.\ of the mat-
ter, but does not tackle the point on which all discussions iiuht
hiiine. namely the inuiii'diale basis of representation.
If efficiency is the keynote to success, and the .school i.s com-

10 t,K' RECORD:
Tlic present controveisy over a proposed

Hoveiimient, as embodied in the Castle Proposal,
was answerccl h)' the action of the C.C. on .\lon-
da)' nij^lit. Tliat group voted against the "intent
ol the Castle Proposal to shift tlie balance of tin-
votint; strength at Williams. The C.C. wants
idi'ally to leave the method of representation
as it stands now and to atteni])t at the same tinu'
to increase stutli-nt interest in the action of stu-
dent jroviMinnent. What the C.C. fails to under-
stand is that the very inefficiency of representa-
tion in the C^.C:. stilles effectivl)' any liojK'S ol
overall studiait interest and participation in stu-
dent government.
The C.C. feels that a change of jiroeeduie in
its representative content, from class-vvidi' elec-
tions to elections held within the houses and
within the freshman class would negate tiie sense
of class and school spirit which is, ami should be
a strong lactor In the college coniposilion.
In a small school such as Williams, the key-
note to effective action in matters pertaining to
the stmlent body is efficiency in dissc'inination ol
inhirniation and collection of opinion. The |)re-
seiit system of government, eiii|iloying students
who are elected on a class-wide basis, necessi-
tates the use of relerendums and class meetings

THE
CATCHER
IN THE
BARLEY
If you actually care or anything, I was nervous the night
I took old Barbara to dinner. 1 mean I really liked her.
I really did. So 1 wanted to show how suave I was and
all, but these swanky New York restaurants get me
down. They're always so full of phonies and people like
that, and pretty soon I start acting like a lousy phony
myself, and then I get depressed. I'm not kidding.
Anyway we had to walk through this little bar to get to
our table, and this waiter squeezed by with some Schaefer
beer on a tray. So I felt better then. No kidding, some-
tiiues if you're feeling lousy and you see some Schaefer
or something, you feel almost happy, for gosh sake.
So, like I was saying, I really wanted to impress old
Barbara. She kills me. So what I did was I told her
about how Schaefer was my kind of beer and real beer
and all, like I was some crumby cosmopolite or some-
body. I'm a madman that way sometimes. "Did you
know experts call Schaefer romid becau.se it has a smooth
harmony of flavors?" I asked in this suave voice. "Yes,"
she said. That knocked me out. I mean you ask most
girls a thing like that and they bat their crumby eyes at
you and say, "Ohh, really?" I swear they do. But not old
Barbara, boy. She says what she means, for gosh sake.
Then this swanky waiter comes
over, and I get all depressed
again. I was ready to smack him
if he started fawning and speak-
ing in French and all. I mean it.
I can't stand things like that. I
guess I'm a regular madman.
Anyway, this guy was all right.
The only actually silln thing he did was put his fingers
to his lips and kiss them when we ordered the Schaefer.
So that's that story. Except I suppose you want to know
old Barbara and I are enqaged now, and I don't get
depressed any more or anything. That killed me the way
she knew about Schaefer that night. I mean it. Old
Barbara's really something.

Baring-Gould Top Williams, Little Three Champions;
Scorer For 3rd Coach Watters Lauds Entire Team
Consecutive Year
The 1958 Williams Var.sity Soc-
cer Team ended il.s .season last
week with a 3-4-1 record. This
record does not .show, however,
that the team lost three of its
four Barnes by one i4oal. This was
the .story of the Ephs' season on
the field.
Williams bristled with .sopho-
mores at the start of the season
and never really found a consis-
tent .scoring punch all fall. Bui
the presence of five sophomore,
and four juniors in the startin-
line-up against Amher.st tells oi
better sea.sons to come.
High scorer for Williams as he
has been for the previous two .sea-
.sons was Mike Barintv-Gould.
PlayinH left inside and center for-
ward for the Ephmen, Baring-
Gould was hampered by a .sprain-
ed ankle the last three games.

For the third .straight year Wil-

tle Three champions. Only the loss
to Trinity in mud and rain spoil-
ed a repeat of last sea.son's unde-
feated record, and the establish-
ment of a new Williams mark for
consecutive games without a loss.
After the disheartening defeat at
Hartford, Williams asserted itself
against Colby 46-6 to satisfy the
skeptics that the team was far
On the basis of his perform-
ance in Williams 12-7 victory
over Amherst, Eph guard, Jim

halfback was also chosen on the
same team.
This is Boots, the Williams Club Cat. He is one
of the fattest cats in the United States and this is
why: he dines on a daily diet of vanilla ice cream.
Now if that is what the Williams Club feeds its
cat, imagine what you will be able to order , . .
in the GRILL ROOM. Men only. Pine-panelled. Bar
in corner. Piled-high steaming plates. Rim-full frosty
glasses. Efficient waiters. Or in the "girll" room.
For ,vou and your date. Intimate. Flatteringly lit.
Voluptuously carpeted and upholstered. Sexy. And
no finer food and drink in NYC. Wait. That is not
all. Did you know that the Williams Club is one
of the most reliable, fleetest-footed, theater-ticket
services in New York? It is. When you come right
down to it, the WC is an ideal spot for The Big
Evening to begin. Come right down to it soon.

from the "also ran" variety. Chip
Ide and Dan Rorke took advantage
of the dry field and put on a run-
ning display that gave clear In-
dication they would be the boys
Williams opponents would have to
stop for the remainder of the sea-
son. After breezing past Middle-
bury and Bovvdoin, the Ephs es-
tablished them.selves as one of the
top small college powers in the
east by defeating Tufts 37-6. A
rout of Union and a 16-7 victory
over a stubborn Wesleyan club
brought Williams to the eve of the
big clash with Amherst. In a great
defensive ball game, the Williams
line gave backs, Ide and Rorke,
all the daylight they needed for
a 12-7 win and the Little Three
title.
Coach Len Walters' post season
eulogies went to the entire team
and particularly to Hedeman as
the best tackle, Ide the best run-
ning back, Kagan the best end and
Richardson the best guard that
Watters has coached. Ide's pic-
ture appeared in TIME magazine
this week as a nimination for Ail-
American honors. Watters was
quoted a.s saying "He ildet is as
good a runner as any back in the
country."

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1958
Class Oi '62 Receives Hi f i Set 'f'^" ''<•"' ■ • ■
As Memorial To Tom Mares '60
The freshman class was present-
ed with a memorial to the late
Thomas E, Mares '60, who died
in a tragic drowning accident in
the summer of his freshman year.
The memorial, a hi fi set. was do-
nated by Mares' family and the
'60 Sophomore Council,
Freshman class president, Phil
Wirth, acting in one of his first
functions as the spokesman for his
class, received the memorial from
Don Campbell, president of the
junior class, and Ron Stet'.all, pre-
sident of the '60 Soph Council.
Mares' mother and younger bro-
ther will visit the campus over
Thank,sgiving. In addition to this
memorial, Mares' family compiled
a pamphlet of his letters, giving a
freshman's impressions of the first
year at Williams, It was circulated
among his classmates last year.
Record Collection
Besides the Stromberg -Carlson
hi fi set, the memorial consists of
a record collection and a fund for
its maintenance, Steve Schlesin-
ger '62, is the chairman of a com-
mittee trying to compile a diversi-
fied collection of records. At its
first meeting, the Freshman
Council expressed the gratitude of
the freshman class and stressed
that they will see that the mem-
orial is preserved for other fresh-
man classes.

Merely utilizes the Treasurer's Of-
: ee to keep the activity books in

"This is really an effort to help
.le student agencies better con-
";)1 their own finances," stated
(,'liarles Poehl, College Treasurer,
11 is not taking any responsibili-
;, away from the students, for
jic treasurer of each organization
may keep his own books, and has
iKcess to ours at any time. We
don't question any bill which an

uates 10 help with the bookkeep-

The money for each organiza-
Uon comes from the customary
■student tax. Two dollars of the
$12 total covers the student's sub-
.scription to the AMT productions:
I lie bulk of it supports other stu-
dent activities. The organizations
accounts are kept .separate from
the college accounts, and the mon-
('.V allotted through the general tax
Id each organization is placed in
an individual account for that ac-
livily by the CCF.
Portraits On Display
At Lawrence Museum
An exhibition of portraits re-
cently acquired by the College, is
t.ow on display at Lawrence Art
Museum.
Featured in the exhibit are two
important new acquisitions, a
.'Spanish oil painting of a Knight
' 1 Santiago by Pacheco and an
I xpressionistic lithographed self-
portrait by Munch. Besides oils
and lithographs, etchings, and i-
Miry miniature and sculptures are
i Iso on display. The works range
lorn ancient Egyptian and Ro-
man, but are essentially from the
lighteenth Century to the pre-
•s'lit, and were done by French,
Herman, Scandinavian, Austrian,
English, Italian, American, Dutch,
Bvzantine and ancient Egyptian
'•■'■••d Roman painters and sculptors.
A Rembrandt etching, a bust of
Kalzac, paintings by Gainsborough,
Stuart and Toulouse Lautrec, as
well as a portrait of Lord Jeffery
Amherst by Watson are also on
exhibition here for the time.
The Knight of Santiago was
done by the father-in-law and
master in art of Valazaquez, whose
early work resembles that of Pa-
clieco. The self-portrait is an im-
portant acquisition since European
expressionism Is in growing de-
mand in the field of art today.
Senior honors students prepared
a one page background report for
five of the exhibits, including the
Spanish oil and the Munch.
The display will be on view
fi'om 9-12 and 2-4 weekdays and
2-5 Sundays until December 8.
iigreed upon hy the Treasurer's
Skits, Smash On
Program Night
The first annual Skit Night and
the traditional Frosh-Soph Smash
are planned tonight for 7:;iO and
9:30, respectively. The undercla.ss
half of a Chapin Hall audience
will adjourn after the skits to the
Rathskeller, for chugging contests,
ihe songs of The Purple Herd, and
plenty of beer.
The dramatic nucleus of the
Skit Night program is provided
by Chi Psi's performance of "The
Ballet of the Magic Music Box"
and the Saints' presentation of a
Shakespearean-type story of the
black denim and motorcycle crowd.
I'he Saints are hoping to be able to
include a jousting match on mo-
torized steeds. Kap's contribution
will be a condensed version of
■'The Vikings," complete with ship
and shields. In contrast to the.se
extravaganzas will be Zeta P.si's
pantomime parody of an old-time
.novie.
Comnienls on the campus scene
will fill the air in Theta Delt's
man-in-the-strcet interviews, as
well as in Sig Phi's "Under Eph-
vvood" and AD's "Ed Sullivan
Show."
The musical program tonight
ranges from Russian folk songs, by
Beta, to the Phi Delts' guitar-ac-
companied versions of Kingston
Trio .songs. DU's songs will take us
back to vaudeville, while Phi
Gam's original composition has a
calypso beat. Bill Paul's arrange-
ments provide the material for
Psi U's quartet. The non-affiliate
Sleepless Knights round out
program.
Coffin Emphasizes Brotherly Love;
Farrington Stresses Responsibility
Farrington
In a talk of the Newman Club
Communion Breakfast last Sun-
day, Brendan J. Farrington al.
stre.s.sed the importance of the ed-
ucated person's awareness of his
responsibilities to society and to
himself.
Farrington asked his audience
to think about the meaning of
privilege and "your privilege in
particular," stating that "privi-
leges create inequalities and in-
equalities create responsibilities."
He further commented that "it is
almost political heresy to speak
of the providential character of
privilege and I gather at Williams
last year it was even branded re-
ligious heresy." He then called for
his listeners to aspire to spiritual
and intellectual heights.
Wisdom
The speaker then slated that "to
b^; wi.se is more than just to know.
The wisdom of knowledg,e must
give way to the wisdom of love
and of both a life be made, 'lo
find the God that is worthy of
man's love and life is man's quest.
To bring forth the love and life
worthy of God is mankind's mean-
ing."
He concluded that unless the
student looks upon his education
as a trust which he must cultivate
and enlarge and use. then the full
Christian purpose of his education
is incomplete.
While at Williams, Farrington
w'as a Junior Adviser, a member
of the Undergraduate Council, the
S. A. C, Gargoyle, and President
of the Newman Club. He is cur-
rently a member of the Religion
Department of Phillips Academy,
the Andover. and is head of their de-
velopment fund drive.

ANDOVER'S CATHOLIC FAR-

and refutation
Regional I. R. C.'s
Elect Bob Pearl
Bob Pearl '59, was elected a
vice-president of the Northeast
Region of International Relations
Clubs at its first conference held
al Harvard November 6 and 7.
The conference was attended by
fifteen colleges, representing one
third of the National A.ssociation
of International Relations Club's
member.ship.
The purposes of the newly form-
ed association are to coordinate
activities among colleges in the
Northeast, to interest more schools
in international relations, and to
gain a larger voice in the Nation-
al Association for Northeast
schools.
The idea for this convention and
the regional a.s.sociation sprang
from the disappointment of the
Williams and Harvard delegations
to the national convention in
Washington last April over the na-
ture of the handling of the con-
vention. Pearl said of the regional
group, "We arc introducing a note
of intellectual .snobbery because
we feel that the National Asso-
ciation can benefit from the great-
er representation of the better
.schools in our area."
At the regional conference the
member delegations adopted a
constitution written by Pearl and
discu.ssed problems of the Middle
East. They set as their main im-
mediate goal a membership drive.
Before a full Sunday night cha-
pel the controversial figure of ex-
college chaplain William S. Cof-
fin spoke on love and acceptance,
and the relation of this issue to the
modern young Christian. Famous
for his decisive stands on campus
issues, and his straightforward ap-
proach to religion, he made his
sermon short and to the point.
"Without Love. Nothing"
Love and acceptance are neces-
sary to everyone, he said, and
those who do not get them from
others try to find them instead by
"sophistication" and wanting more
of everything. He concluded that
we "must find out that love casts
out fear" and "must be honest
with ourselves and realize how
much we do not know." Thus we
will come to find what we were
created for — a life of love.
Discussion
The Yale chaplain's attraction
was shown by the large turnout of
Williams students of all classes
plus a busload of Holyoke girls at
an informal discussion in the base-
ment of St. John's Church. An a-
musing, fascinating personality.
Coffin stated that the young
Christian college student "has an
extraordinary innocence about re-
ligion and hides behind the secur-
ity of a few simple, brittle, moral-
istic principles."
At the college level he does not
find the right atmosphere for
searching thought and thus be-
comes one of "those determined
not to care." Love should open a
man's mind and let him "act
w'hole-heartedly without absolute
certainty", understanding his own
motives. As he said later in his
sermon, love is the purpose of life
and "Love is God": thus we may
"sit loose" trusting in God.
Coffin has many associations
with Yale, having graduated in
the class of '49 and accepted his
B. D. there in '56.
Houses, Frosh Battle;
Quiz Title At Stake
WCFM's popular Interfraternity
Quiz reached the halfway mark
last week. Tlie quiz is an elimina-
tion tournament involving the fra-
ternities and the five freshman
entries.
Thus far five matches have been
played. AD defeated St. A, and Chi
Psi prevailed over Phi Sig. Beta
conquered Taconic, a freshman di-
vision, while another frosh team.
Mohawk, ousted Psi U. Tliese were
first round matches. In the initial
and only second round match com-
pleted to date. Phi Gam defeated
Sig Phi. Defending its title, the
D Phi's take on Chi Psi in early
January.
As last year no freshman teams
competed in the show, contests
pitting frosh against the fraterni-
ties are eagerly awaited. In the
first three weeks following
Thanksgiving vacation, Phi Delt
plays Greylock, the Hoosacs take
on DU, and the Zetes, Berkshire,
in that order.
Adding humor and spice to the
show are veteran announcers Jer-
ry Bernstein and Bill Buck. A keg
of beer goes next spring to the
winning team which will, in turn,
take on the faculty.

Bt/ Kurt Rosen
111 1910 Colonel and Mrs. E. Pannalei' Pren-
tice, the soii-iii-lavv and daughter of John D.
Rockefeller Sr., .spent the summer in Vi'illiams-
town. FoUovvinu; that siiininer the Colonel de-
cided to retire from his successful lejral practice
in New York C^ity and ])ecome a t;entlenian far-
mer in South Williamstown. The Prentices built
Mount Ho|5e into one of the most beautiful and
profrressive farms in tiie country.
Although Colonel Prentice tried to avoid
all publicity of a i^ersonal nature, he did not
hesitate to exjiress his idea on improving milk
production of dairy cattle by crossing breeds.
The dairy industry at that time valued cattle
by such breed characteristics as coloring and
size rather than by their milk production. Col-
onel Prentice with the help of several biologists
began to experiment on mice to prove that char-
acteristics can be changed by selective breeding.
Com]5leteiy white mice were produced from
mice with all brown ancestors.
The gentleman farmer believed his Darwin-
ian and Nlendelian influenced ideas, as j^roven
in the mice e.xjjeriments, could be applied to
cattle. "We know now that the secret is not to
mate the best i^erformers to the best jierformers,"
he said, "hut to mate the best breeders to the
best breeders, that is to mate individuals that
produce the best ()ffs])riug with individuals that
produce the best offspring, judging the progeny
themselves. When this is done, we find— little
by little and :;tcp b-y step-tb.at the desived
change begins to aj^jjear."
Artificial Insemination
Following this ]5r()cedure, a highly i^rodnc-
tive strain of dairy cattle evolved. In order to
utilize these results on a wider scale, the Col-
onel's son, J. Rockefeller Prentice, began to ex-
periment with artificial insemination. The birth
of the first calf in the USA to be sired from froz-
en semen occurred in 1953. One bull can now
sire as many as one hundred thousand offspring
as a result of this discoxery.
Mount Hope also has a i^oultry di\ision
which has increased egg production by fifty
per cent through selectixe breeding. The incu-
bators hold over three hundred thousand eggs
at one time, (thicks are sent to Africa, Europe,
and South America.
The Mount Hojje farm has continued to
ojjerate after the (Jolonej's death thiee years
ago. His eighty seven year old widow leads an
active life at the farm. l''arin manager Shirli/
(.Uirdincr directs the one hundred and forty local
residents employed at Mount lIo|)e whose lour-
teeii hundred acres make it the largest taxpay-
er in Williamstown. The farm still opi'iates on
a non-profit basis, freely giving information on
breeding techni(|ues to all interested parties
which liave included numerous foreign govern-
ments.
Foreign Forum No. 3
Editor's Note: C.ontiniiin<^ the interview series
tcitli Williams students from abroad, u Uunfiari-
an and an En<;^lislinwn reveal ultitudes toward
fiolities and news and causes thereof in their
homelands.
Gahor Teleki-Uunf^arij; "Hungarians show an
interest in the news of die Free West, altiiough
there has been a distinct lag in eagerness since
the recent Revolution. Naturally, censorsiiip of
noii-Communist iileas is great. Newspapers |)rint-
ed within the country are useless as to objec-
tivity as are radio broadcasts from within. Red
newspaix'rs from the outside, as .-Vnstria, East
Germany and (Czechoslovakia are less tainted
verv often and are thus eagerly grabbed.
Two Channels
"The only news uiitain|5ered with comes
generally from two sources; 1) By forbidden ra-
dios picking up Radio Free Eur()])( or the Voice
of America. Tne jieasants are usually in no real
danger now of being caught listening while this
practice is more dangerous in urban areas. Thus,
itiaiiv |5i'asaiits are in Hie uuic|ne |)osition of be-
ng bi'tter ac()uaiuted than city people.
"2) Foreigners from the West such as ar-
tists, athletes and businessmen inxited into Hun-
gary are often pumped for news and a congrega-
tion clustered around such a \isitor in the streets
of Bndaiiest, for instance, may not be an iiiicom-
inon sight.
Revolution Result
"luaccessability to the news has dampened
interest but the greatest cause in the past several
years has undoubtedly been what many Hun-
garians consider the VVest's forgetting them af-
ter die Revolution. The 'what-die-hell-is-the-
use' sigh may be detected in their feelings.
"A. resignation to C'""nmuiiism is certninlx'
not, however, to be implied Irom this. It is sim-
ply a difficult thing to be well-informed under
such circumstances."
Colin Bi/ford-En<ilanil: "Politics in England
is more concerned with definite, practical issues
than in America where the human element, the
personality of the candidates are so e.xtremelv
important.
"I studied the Democratic and Republican
platforms of the 1956 campaigns and did not
find much difference, certainly not as much as
between die two parties at home. As a voter,
then, I would feel that my personal life would
be more affected by whom 1 xoted for and who
received control than in this country.
A Greater Concern
"This seems to be a major reason why a
cross-section cut of die English people wtiuld
jirobahly rexeal a greater concern in reading the
newspa)5ers and knowing political affairs than would a similar iiol)
here. It should he stated that tlie high officials in both countries
would undoubtedly be e(|nally versed in what is going on.
Several Factors
"There are, of course, other reasons for a more discernihlc
concern in politics sncli as the historical tradition of Parliaim ii(
and its influence on the citizens and the geographical locatK.ii
of England in the middle of afhiirs which has played its part m
putting politics on the stage hehire peoph-'s atti-iition.
"A technical but iniportaut point is that due to the size of (h,.
country, most papers are nationally clistrihuted so that people i,ui
pick up the Times or Manchester Ciiardiaii, Daily Express or V)vAv
Mirror (or of any town) anywhere the day diey are printed. 11,,.
nexyspaper is a vital factor in our lives at home."

THE CLOTHES YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN
In this column we take up fiisliions for college men, which means
of course, the Ivy Look. ToduyV Ivy Look clothes have made a
greatstrideforward. Not only do they have thin lai)els, three but-
tons, narrow trousers, and a minimum of shoulder padding, but
—now hear this!— this year they are actually covered with ivy!
This new development, while attractive beyond the singing
of it, nevertheless gives rise to certain hazards. For instance,
people keep trying to plant you on Arbor Day. Indeed, this is
precisely what happened to two SAE's of my acquaintance,
Walter K. Ciurlash and Fred Rasp. Before they could ])rotest,
they were snalclied up, jjlaiited, limed, and watered, and today
they support a hammock iu Cut aud Shoot, Veruiout.

Let us now discuss shirts. Again this year the campus favorite
is the good old Oxford with button-down collar and barrel
cuffs. This is without doubt an admirable garment, but let nie
ask you a question: if you don't wear anything but Oxfords,
what do you do with all the cuff links people have been giving
you for your birthday since you were twelve years old?
Well sir, some fellows have their wrists pierced, but what E.
Mackenzie Sigafoos, a Chi Psi of my acquaintance, did was to
take a dozen pairs of his handsome gold monogrammed cuff
links and string them together in a charm bracelet for his girl,
Jo-Carol Isobar.
(It turned out, incidentally, to be a mistake. In short order
80 many admirers accrued to Jo-Carol on account of her gor-
geous bracelet that she grew tired of plain old E. Mackenzie,
and one niglit when she was seated on a bench in Lovers Lane
throwing sticks for E. Mackenzie to retrieve, slie suddenly,
cruelly, without warning, told him they were through.
"I am heartbroken," said E. Mackenzie, heartbroken. "But
if go you must, give me back my charm bracelet."
"No, I will keep it," said Jo-Carol.
"What for?" said E. Mackenzie. "You can't wear it. The
initials on the cuff links are all mine— E. M.S."
"Ha, ha, the joke is on you," said Jo-Carol. "Yesterday I was
voted Miss Chinese Restaurant of 1958."
"So?" said E. Mackenzie.
"So," replied Jo-Carol, "E.M.S. does not stand for E. Mac-
kenzie Sigafoos. It stands for Hal More SubgumI"
A broken man, E. Mackenzie- today squeezes out a meagre
living as a pendulum in Cleveland. Jo-Carol was killed in a
tong war.)
But I digress. We were talking about well-dressed men, and the
one essential for every well-dressed man — and every woll-drcsscd
woman too— is a weil-dressed cigarette— neat, cor.ii)act, flavor-
ful, and correct for work or play, sunshine or shower, repose or
revelry, darkness or light. And where does one find such a per-
fect companion? Just go to any tobacco counter and .ask for
Philip Morris. Ask for it in long size or regular. Ask for it in
soft pack or hard. But ask for it; that's the imi)ortant thing.

Altott Views Training
"rogram At Williams,
Points To Progress
"I like it here at Williams be-
cau.se I like to be close to athle-
tics—close to people— and that's
what this job entails", said Joe
Altott, head trainer of college ath-
letics,
Altott was born in 1924 in the
little town of Methuen, Massachu-
setts, After sraduatinfi from Me-
thuen High School, he attended
Miami University for one year be-
fore transferring to SprinRfield.
At Springfield, Altott majored
in Physical Education and parti-
cipated in football, hockey, and
baseball. He graduated in 19,'):i
with his B, S., returning the nexi
year to receive his M, A. in Educa-
tion. His education was interrupt-
.'d twice by military .service — from
1943 to 1946 in the Army Air
Force, where he flew missions as
a gunner in the South Pacific and
over Japan, and in 1950-'51 as a
.nember of the Medical Corps in
Korea.
Comes to Williams
Joe Altott came to Williams in
1954, When asked why he became
interested in the job, he replied,
"When I arrived for my interview
that fall, I had a chance to look
around the college. The training
situation at that time was to say
the least poor. I felt both that im-
provement was necessary and that
I could do something about the
problem".
Since he has taken over the job,
Altott feels that with the help of
the Athletic Department and oth-
ers he has come a long way in his
improvement program. Not only
have training services been ex-
DeLisser Looks To Better Record
As Veteran Wrestlers Start Season
The Varsity Wrestling team under Captain Kiilirt Wieneke
and (loach Peter DeLi.sser is lookinj^ forward to what should be
a very successful season.
With all but one of last year's rej^nlar starters returning,
the team should be able to e(|ual or better last year's record of
4 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. The ad-
dition of members of last year's
freshman team will fill in some
of the weak spots.
Wrestling Captain
KUHRT WIENEKE
tended during the fall season to
the soccer team, but Altott has
tried to see that the freshman
sports are accorded the same at-
tention. This of course has meant
the addition of much new equip-
ment to the various training
rooms.
Probably the greatest addition
to his department, however, was
the appointment of Bert Ray as
assistant trainer, effective this
year. Ray, who graduated from
Springfield last June, will be of
great help in expanding the train-
ing program at Williams.

Chi Psi Gridmen
Win College Title
A fantastic scoring play in
which six men handled the ball
enabled Chi Psi to eke out a thrill-
ing sudden-death overtime win
over Alpha Delta Phi for the col-
lege intramural football crown.
Two scoreless regulation over-
time periods preceded the sudden
death period. Hal McCann tallied
his third touchdown on the decid-
ing play, Tony Roberts and Rog-
gie Dankmeyer were the other Chi
Psi scorers, Pete Haeffner passed
for each Chi Psi marker except the
last.
For the Alpha Delts. Terry Grat-
wick was top scorer with two
touchdowns. Joe Prendergast and
Palmer White also countered for
A, D, Tailback Bob Redlske play-
ed an outstanding game as did his
Chi Psi counterpart, George Boyn-
ton,
Chi Psi reached this playoff by
annexing their league title with
an 8-0 record. A. D. and Beta The-
ta Pi, with identical 7-1 records,
tied for the crown in the other cir-
cuit. A. D. won the subsequent
playoff by a tight 1-0 margin. On
Amherst weekend, Chi Psi dueled
Theta Delta Chi. Amherst champ-
ions, to a 6-6 standoff.
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1958
Roper Public Opinion Center Adds
New I. B. M. Card Sorting Machine
A new I. B. M. card sorting ma
chine lias been added to the e
quipment of the Roper Public O
pinion Research Center in the
basement of Stetson Library. The
machine cost $14,000.
Professor Philip K. Hastings, di
rector of the independent center,
in announcing the addition, said
that another sorter will arrive in
the near future.
The Roper Center has now the
largest concentration of public
opinion polls taken on a wide var-
iety of subjects over the past 20
years. The new equipment will aid
the staff in processing the increas
ed number of requests from schol
ars all over the world for informa
tion on its research materials.
History
The collection was established at
Williams two years ago when the
addition to Stetson was complet-
ed by Elmo Roper, veteran poll-
ster. Roper started the Center with
his old polls and since information
has been added from a large num-
ber of other sources.
Flying Club Acquires
Motor, Radio Controls
The Williams Flying Club
last Saturday completed test-
ing a new motor for the club
plane. The motor, an 85 horse-
power Continental, is the first
of a number of improvements
planned by the club for the
plane. The motor's cost has
been defrayed by advanced pur-
chase of lessons by the mem-
bers.
Plans are underway to install
new radio equipment and new
instruments, which will enable
the plane to be flown at night
and in bad weather, and which
will allow it to be landed at any
major airport in the country.
The club also hopes to pur-
chase a set of skis for the plane,
which would make possible the
transportation of skiers to ma-
ny of the more distant ski ar-
eas.

Language Cluhs Augment Education
With Informal Group Discussions
By John Good
An unknowing visitor to the stu-
dent union dining hall on any of
the first three academic days of
the week would think he had just
diopped into the commissary of
the United Nations. In reality the
fluent flow of foreign tongues
would be coming from language
students at Williams enjoying con-
versation in either French, Span-
ish or German at a weekly lan-
guage table sponsored by the three
Williams language clubs.
The avowed purposes of these
clubs according to Herr professor
William Little, Monsieur le pro-
fesseur George Brachfeld, and Se-
nor Maestro Antonio de Lahiguera
are two fold. The first is to provide
the opportunity to speak the lan-
guage learned in the classroom;
the second is to foster an under-
standing of the three cultures they
represent.
Discussions and Slnffin^
The language tables are uually
followed by an informal gii-to
gether in which the group .nher
sings songs in the language ..; en-
gages in discussion of topics niat!
ed to foreign languages. Thi . in!
formal meetings are also often
characterized by special cents
such as a German, Spanl , or
French movie, or a visiting li :,„..
er.
Fraternizing and socializin are
two other aspects of the Ian ;age
clubs at Williams. The Frenci and
German clubs are both phii .ling
Christmas parties for the co^.ing
social season, and the Sp: ;iish
club has arranged for div ing
parties with language club.s ion,
Skidmore and Bennington. I..i t;ut

Some felt the activities were

kicking the "hell" element, A few
saw no good in them, but most re-
alized their importance in unify-
ing the pledge class and in making
more meaningful one's member-
ship in the fraternity.
Pledges Clean Up
All but a few houses contributed
at least two hours to the Help
Week program. Jobs included the
rewiring and stringing of the Wil-
i.amstown Christmas lights, the
painUng and washing of the Con-
gregational and St. John's Chur-
tncj, Ihe general clean-up of the
1 brary, and several jobs at neigh-
borain private homes. 'I'he money
received for the work was turned
over to the Chest Fund.
Although many fell that the
Iwo-hour restriction on the
pledge's time would disturb Help
Week. Steve Saunders '59, Help
Week chairman, noted that "the
restriction did not hinder our ac-
tivities, for the jobs were not plen-
tiful this year; however, had we
more work opportunities, we would
have had difficulty because most
hou.ses could only give us two
hours of their total working time."

Students Eligible
For Federal Aid
Beginning next tall. 1000 grad-
uate students will be eligible for
financial aid from the federal gov-
ernment under the terms of the
National Defense Education Act
of 1958. For the first year the pro-
gram is limited to candidates for
the PhD.
The program is primarily de-
signed to help prospective teachers
and to increase the geographical
distribution of centers of graduate
work. It was supposedly inspired by
Sputnik and makes going back to
school most attractive to the stu-
dent.
Cost
The cost to the Federal Gov-
ernment may run as high as
$18,000 per student, according to
a study of the act released by The
College Life Insurance Company of
America.
Married students with two chil-
dren will receive $3,200 in their
first year of study, increasing to
$3,600 in their third year. More-
over, the school they are attend-
ing may receive up to $7,500.
Loan Program
This same National Defen.se Act
of 1958 also set up a loan program
for the undergraduate students.

British Debaters Take Affirmative
Of A-Bomb Testing Debate Question
Scheduled to arrive in Williams-
town tonight in anticipation of a
Monday night debate are two
touring Britishers.
They will face Williams repre-
sentatives Dick Contant '59, and
John Phillips '59, at 8 p.m., Mon-
day in the Jesup Hall auditorium
in a debate entitled "Should Wo
Stop Testing A-bombs?" Modera-
tor will be Adelphic Union Presi-
dent Tim Coburn '60.
The two English debaters, Thom-
as Griffiths and Brian Walden,
have been debating at colleges
and universities across the coun-
try under the auspices of the In-
ternational Institute for Educa-
tion. Their host here will be the
Adelphic Union,
Wide Debating Experience
Both visitors have had wide de-
bating experience In England and
Europe. Both have been president
of the Oxford Union, termed by
Cobum a "nearly professional" de-
bating society.
Griffiths, 24. attended Magda-
len College and was news editor
of the paper and editor of the
Conservative Association Maga-
zine.
Walden, 26, has been chairman
of the Student Committee of the
Socialist International and of the
DEBATER WALDEN

National Labour Student Associa-
tion. He attended Queen's College.
"Wide-open" Contest Expected
Coburn looks for a "wide-open,
no holds barred" contest Monday
night. He points to past English
debaters here as examples of the
"lively and witty" British style.
The Williams team will take the
negative side of the testing ques-
tion. There will be no official de-
cision.
ReflraemHigWigfcf ngf grendum Procedure
Of Joint Concert To Amend Constitution
The Williams Glee Club, con-
ducted by Victor Yellin, will join
the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra,
led by Attilio Poto, in a concert
on Friday, December 5, in San-
ders Theater in Cambridge. This
will mark the Glee Club's second
appearance off campus.
Program
The program consists of Cor-
elli's "Concerto VIII", commonly
known as the "Christmas" Con-
certo, Haydn's "Symphony No. 104
in D Major" i London), and Cher-
ubini's "Requiem in D minor." The
Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra will
play the first two numbers, and
both groups will present the Re-
quiem which will be conducted by
Mr. Yellin. This will be the first
time the Cherubini work has been
presented in the Eastern area. It
is a seven section piece, whose so-
los will be .sung by tenor Don
Brown '59.
The program will be repeated
December 12 at 8:30 p.m. in Cha-
pin Hall in the Glee Club's first
full length concert at Williams.
Dinner To Feature Speakers
Representing Little Three Colleges
Three students, each a senior at oiii' of the Little Three Col-
lep's, will S|)eak at a diimer sponsored by the Williams Collefff
(Jiapel Tuesday at f):1.5 in the (a)iii;re<j;ati()nal Cluircli. The din-
ner is beiiit; lirianeed li\' the C;()iit!;reu;atioiial Church,
WCC members have already been
contacted, but others can make
reservations by contacting Steve
Saunders.
Speakers
The speakers are not definitely
known yet. They are to be select-
ed by their respective schools and
WCC President Jerry Rardin said
he had not heard from either Am-
herst or Wesleyan. Rardin said he
was not sure who the Williams
representative would be either.
Speakers will discuss what their
years in college have been worth —
what they have gotten out of col-
lage that was valuable, what they
have gotten that was not so valu-
able, and what they have not got-
ten which they wish they had.
Their talks will touch on what
has happLned to them in academic,
social, extra-curricular, and reli-
gious activities. Thus the talks
should become both an evaluation
and a comparison of Little Three
life.
WCC Meeting
Immediately preceding the din-
ner will be a short WCC meeting.
Tlie purpose of this meeting is to
make some necessary changes in
the constitution.
Rardin said the original idea for
the main program grew out of the
need for this meeting.
The RECORD wishes to cor-
rect a statement which appear-
ed in the November 21 issue
and which implied that Wil-
liams Placement Director Man-
ton Copeland does not interview
seniors who plan to go to grad-
uate school. Copeland has em-
phasized that he would like to
talk with every senior, and that
students going to graduate
school often find interviews at
the Placement Office useful in
determining their long-range
career ob.1ectives.
Five ameiiclineiits to the Collej^o Council Constitution were
a|)pro\i'd hy the (JC> Monday iii^ht and will j^o before the College
Tuesday, Dec. Ifi. The cbaiif^es were reeoinmeiided by the com-
mittee headed hy Robert Korke "fiO.
.Most imijortaiit is the plan to remove the ,50 percent voting
re(|iiireineiit on refereiidiiins. Included too is a measure to raise
the number required to petition a
referendum to 20 per cent of the
College. The present requirement
is 10 per cent.
Effectively, this plan makes it
harder to get a referendum on Col-
lege Council action started while
removing the po.ssibility that ab-
stention might be used as a wea-
pon for those who wish to defeat
a referendum. The proposed a-
niendments do not affect the me-
thod for changing the constitu-
tion.
Other Changes
Two other amendments are de-
signed to prevent the possibility
of one man holding more than one
lop college office. An amendment
pa.ssed last year does not provide
replacements for those persons af-
fected by the ruling — the new
change provides that the man who
receives the next highest number
of votes in a cla,ss election shall
Lake the place of the president and
all tlie other officers will move up
one notch. If the president of the
CO is affected, he will become just
anotlier member of the group upon
resignation and the vice-president
will lake his place.
The CC also passed the propo-
sal of Martin '60, as a policy state-
ment tliat the Social Council will
now be consulted on important Is-
sues as an advisory group only.
Important issues are defined as
those involving a tax or the co-
operation of every student. In ad-
dition, a policy was approved to
hold all votes for referendums in
a public place rather than in the
houses and freshman entries.

Peter Pan Plays
FivePerformances
"Peter Pan" will be produced by
the AMT in an unprecedented long
run of five performances starting
Thursday evening December 11,
and running through Monday ev-
ening, including a matinee Sat-
urday afternoon.
The play presents many unusu-
ally complex technical problems,
especially those of getting four se-
parate performers into the air. At
one point there will be three per-
formers in the air at the same
time, calling for a special set of
supports and controls. Stage set-
tings are also unusually complicat-
ed since the play calls at times for
action to be going on two differ-
ent levels.
Amusing, Terrifying;
Director Giles Playfair has plan-
ned the play to be amusing and
entertaining to adults, and ter-
rifying I in a pleasant wayi to
children and has added an air of
realism to the swordfighting scenes
by the coaching of a professional
dueling instnictor.
Thomas Griswold, Instructor in
Music, has done the orchestration
for the production, which will star
Harvey Simmonds '60, as Peter
and Tony Distler '59, as Hook,
with a cast of huge proportions.
Producer is Peter Culman '59,
while Tony Stout '61, is directing
choreography. Sets have been done
by Sandy Saunders '60.
Advance sales of tickets have so
far gone very well, with plans al-
ready made for several busloads of
people from the area to come in to
see various performances of the
show.
Other Action
BOWDOIN TAX - $1.50 will be
added to the college bill for sup-
port of foreign students. This was
previously placed on fraternity
bills.

Xinema 16^ Art Films
Shown In Rathskeller
The first In a series of experi-
ments in the medium of motion
pictures was presented in the
Rathskeller Thursday night. Un-
der the direction of Paul Hamil-
ton, the films were obtained from
Cinema 16, a New York organiza-
tion which distributes experimen-
tal films to interested groups.
Hamilton says of Cinema 16, "the
whole idea is to give people an op-
portunity to see what is being done
in film in non-commercial areas."
The series is financed jointly by
the Art Department, Lecture Com-
mittee and Student Union Com-
mittee.
Thursday's showing consisted of
three widely varying features. One
of them, "Horror Dream" was an
award winner at the Venice Film
Festival. Another award winner "A
Little Phantasy" features the
unique method of producing .sound
by painting on the sound track.
The third film "Mother's Day"
depicts an adult remembering the
past, embodying psychological
complexes. Three more in the ser-
ies will be shown in the Rathskell-
er December 18.
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FlUDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1958
Hell Week
"Hell Week" cuds toinoinnv.
This is an ancient tiatlitioii, cxtcndint; on tlic Williams campus
to the early ninetcenlii centiiiy wlien liaternitics were i^ixcii al-
most relij^ions iiiipoitaiiee hv the generation wliieh foiined tlicni.
The purposes of the initiations were little clilfcrent lioiii the
purpose of the initiation rites of all secret societies which man has
formed, dating i)ack to the mystery cults of decadent Rome. If it
is ]ihysically oi' nicntallv dillicnlt to join a society, the iin))ortancc
oi that society to the ne\y member is thereby enhanced, and the
new memhers are brouifht closer tof^ether by shariuf^ a common
e.\|5erience.
The generation of today is \ ery different from tlu' i»eneration
which orj^anized Williams iralcrin'tics. 'i'hc (piasi-relinious impoi-
tance is gone and— although the basic purposes remain tiie same —
the h)rni of initiations has changed.
Today pledges string (,'hristmas hghts h)r Williamstowii, paint,
wa.\ lloors or clean out attics. Less tmie is sjieut on the more mys-
terious, traditional acti\ ities hidden behind drawn shades as
initiation a|5proaches.
Its form has changed largi'K' ])ecansc of jiressurc from the
college administration. The iiistiiution of Help Week three years
ago was hillowed 1)\' rales outlawing all practices which tire or
ridicule |)ledges, which nn'giit cause injury, or which interfere
with academic work. This ycai' the Dean's Office issued a ruling
limiting prc-initiation activities to two hours a day.
The basic purposes of Hell Week aie not easy to e\'aluatc.
Whether physical and mental exertion is the best way to make
a society of companions seem important to a pros|)ective member
or to create "togetherness" is a complicated ipieslion answerable
only by an individual's moral standards in accordance with the ex-
tent and natiue of the particular exertion in\ ol\ cd.
The change in form, howcyer, is definitely welcome. We feci
that if such practices can be justified at all, tliey should he limited
to lulfillment of tlieir aims. The\' should not clegenciate into at-
temjjts to "hieak down" another student just to see if it can be done.
It is regrettable that the new rules iulringe on some houses
which carry on responsible and \aluable Hell Weeks, '^'et such
laws nnist he made for the worst elements in a society.
Somebody Goofed
Williams has come u|5 with anothei' first. This year's \Viuter
Carni\al will coxcr two weekends. The powers-that-bc arc to be
congratulated for theii- splendid |ilaiming which has created an
unprecedented first by ha\ing Winter C^aruixal ])arties and dances
oyer the weekend of February 7tb and the skiing actix ities o\er
the following weekend.
We find some consolation in being able to say at least that
someone has done something imaginatiye for bouseiiarties. After
all, the snow and the skiing coni|5etiti()n aic hardly appropiiaU-
o\'er the traditional Winter Weekend.
We feel that the current sitiuition yiudicates the argument
set forth in a UI'XX)RD editorial about the Mangel (iroposal some
weeks ago vyhen we argued that juismanagement and inefficient
planning and NOT money was the basic houseparty |5roblem that
needed sobing. .'\ $4()()() student sup|)orted budget would not
haye prevented the most recent in a series ol blunders.

Comment On Harvard Med Survey
III/ John Ricluird.sou
The results of a recent Harvard suryey concerning the value
of undergraduate emiihasis on science for medical schools brought
varied reactions from members of the Williams' science faculty.
The suryey, carried out by Harvard's Office of Tests, rcyealed
that undergraduates who have concentrated in areas outside of
science in college, finish nic>d school on about the same jiar as
students who have majored in the sciences in college. This sur-
yey was based on the |ierf()rmanees of 1,()()() men who graduated
from Harvard College between 1949 and 1956.

Professor Samuel A. Matthews, chainnaii of
the Biology Departineut, said, "there i.s no real
■pre-inetl' course at Willianrs. We sec that the re-
(|uired courses arc; lullillecl by the stuilents, but
do not urge that they major iu the sciences. Many
undergraduates planning on going to medical
school major in courses outsiilc the sciences. 'Ihc
tk'partnieut is interested primarily in suiting the
needs ol the iudiv idual, and with giving him the
best hheral background possible, provided the
rc(|uirecl courses are fulfilled." Matthews added
that no one is strongly i-ncouraged to major in
u science unless he is |)ersoually interested.
Assistant Professor Harold Warien of the
Chemistry IX'partinent commented, "At Williams
a student may major in any field, as long as he
fulfills till' science rcc|uiri'ments lor med school.
The top student will do well in any eoursi- ami
therchire need not be iiieluded in a survey such
as this. Although at Williams the major is not re-
strictive, nevertlu'less it is wise lor the average
student who wishes to go to mctl school to niajoi-
in a science. Mcdieiue is becoming much more
scientific in its approach. The average under-
graduate needs the solid scientific background
tiiat a science major will |)rovide."
Warren said that it is very hard to pin down
the opinions of medical school |)ersonnel on this
subject. 'Tlu' feeling I have receiyed is that a
science major seems to help a great deal in med
school. The .schools tell us (often informally)
that there is a great need for a solid background
iu tlu' sciences, coupled with facility iu English
composition. Since science is idtimately the most
important phase ol a doctor's career, he should
have as firm a foundation as possible, especially
in organic chemistrv. Performances in the col-
lege sciences often give the mod school clues as
to the undergraduates' final abilities."
Professor Charles Clompton of the Chemis-
try Department felt that the survey results were
in direct contrast to what he had been hearing

ill love with her. In the five years since he had last,

rare and worth po.s.sessin^.
The day of the parly Cunsby came by, aijologelic,
distraught. "Tell nie, old lioy," he said, trvinu to he
oll'hand, "What is your kind of beer, anyway? I want
to order some." I knew he was really asking about Inr
kind of l)eer and, even moi'e, what kind of beer was
fashionalile in the sleek and narrow world he tried so
hard to call bis own. "Schaefer," 1 said. "Kxpei'ts call it
nmiid because it has a smooth harmony of tlavors."
Cunsby smiled al me as if all his old, forsaken dreams
were suddenly within his nras|). "Why, that's wti kind
of beer!" he cried and hurried away.
Two orchestras were set up in Cunsljv's formal Hardens
when I'eony and I arrived, i)laying all the .sweet, sad

AheaA In Season
Even though Stafford, Southall,
Tom Shulman, and Weaver have
graduated, Coach Chaffee is opti-
mistic about the possibilities of
this year's varsity squash team.
Returning lettermen from last
year's team which won the Na-
tional IntercoUegiates at Yale and
the Little Three championsbips
arc Greg Tobin, John Bowen, Er-
nie Fleishman, Pete Beckwith, and
Chris Schaefer. Fleishman and
Schaefer are co-captains. Round-
ing out the team at present are
Clyde Buck, Sam Davis, John Lea-
thers, and Bruce Brian.
Players
Tobin, a veteran of many years'
experience, po.ssesses a game of
very powerful ground strokes. He
played number 2 behind Stafford
last .season. John Bowen and Pete
Beckwith have also played about
G years and know the shots,
Fleishman, a left bander, is noted
for his lightning serve, while
Schaefer, also a .senior, is prob-
ably the most heady player on the
court.
Buck is coming up very rapidly.
He is the fastest man on the team
and merely needs more time to get
his shots under control. Pushing
for higher positions will be Davis,
Leathers, and Brian, numbers 7,
8, and 9 respectively. Leathers and
Brian playsd high on last year's
fi'eshman team. Of the three Bri-
an, a natural athlete who played
number 1 for the varsity tsnnis
team during fall practics, probably
has the greatest potential. Other
possibilities for positions are Bill
Miller. Chuck Smith, and Bill
Nori'is,
RankinfKs
In the rankings for last season
which have ,iust recently been re-
leased, Williams placed fourth na-
tionally behind Yale, Harvard, and
Princeton. Following in order were
Army, Navy. Amherst, Dartmouth,
Trinity, and Wesleyan. Though
Williams defeated Princeton, 5-4,
the fourth place ranking was jus-
tified becau.se, with otherwise i-
dentical records, the Ephs lost to
Navy, 5-4, while Princeton wal-
loped them, 9-0. Stafford has been
awarded the number 3 intercolle-
giate spot behind Larry Sears of
Harvard and Dartmouth's Dick
Hoehn.

Buck Robinson, a freshman Co-
Captain last year, is already touted
as one of the top breast-strokers
in New England. This afternoon
he faces rough competition from
Pete Herman, Other swimmers ex-
pected to amass points for the
Ephs throughout the year include
Bill Ryan, Jim Ryan, Dave Cough-
lin, Jim Urbach, Nick Frost, Mike
Dively, Sam Roberson, Bruce Har
per, and John Kimberley.
Diving for the Purple will be
Bob Reeves. Reeves, another
sophomore, began competitive div-
ing only a year ago, but has pro-
gressed rapidly since that time
and should fare well.

Captain Pete Willmott will again
hold down a guard .spot for his
final season.
As Coach Shaw put it, "Our
club will depend on how well the
sophomores develop". Up from last
year's fine freshman team is 6' 5"
Sam Weaver starting at forward.
Weaver will be filling in Bill Hede-
man's position and should add
strength to Eph rebounding. At
the other forward post will be
sophomore Bob Montgomery, 6' 4",
who was a high scorer for the
Prosh last year.
The lone junior on the starting
team is George Boynton who saw
a lot of action towards the end of
last year's season. Boynton is the
fastest man on the squad and
shoots well from the foul line.
The Williams bench will be
stronger than last year's on paper
but will lack experience. Seniors
Bob Parker and Phil Brown will
back up the guard and forward
slots. Parker, a starter last year
is the best shot from the outside.
Brown, who has started at every
position but center at Williams is
one of the most consistent ball
players and ball handlers on the
squad.
Coach Shaw looks for help from
his sophomores this year in the
persons of 6' 8" Don Brayton and
Lou Guzzetti. Backing these two
up will be Toby Schreiber, Jim
Frick, and Dave Farrell.
Overall the Ephmen are taller
this year but lack depth and ex-
perience down the line. With four
games before Christmas, Williams
should head into the main part
of their season with a well rounded
ball team.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1958
Centennial Of Theodore Roosevelt
Honored By Chapin Library Exhibit
By Uldis lleisters
An exhibit at the Chapin Li
brary commemorates Theodore
Roosevelt's centennial and hiyli
lights the many aspects of his
swaggering, intense personality.
The 54 items on exhibit, depict
both his private and public life.
Displayed are his own works on
wildlife, hunting and ranching,
including his first published work,
a pamphlet on bird lore, written
when ha was 19. Most of the hunt-
ing books are signed by liim, and
there are also many of his his-
torical and political works, as well
as collections of his letters.
Roosevelt has had more writ-
ten about him than any other A-
mericaa, except Abraham Lincoln,
and the works shown range from
"The Teddysee", an Odyssey-like
satire, and "The Adventures of
Theodore, as Told to One of the
Rough Writers" to present day bi-
ographies of Roosevelt. Of special
interest are rare 1916 campaign
lii^^'rature, inaugural .souvenirs, and
iv.'o original reports on the Pan-
ama Canal.
The exhibit, originally set up for
Jisiin Morton Blum's lecture on
Roosevelt, will be on view until
December 6th. Some of the Items
on exhibit are part of the Library's
collection of about 200 Roosevelt
pieces, others are on loan.

Under this program, the college
has to make application for money
to be loaned to students through
the state department of educa-
tion.
Students then borrow from the
college under the regulations of
that institution. Financial need
and good grades must be demon-
strated, and students showing a
desire to teach, particularly in the
fields of science, mathematics, or
modern language, will be given
preference.
Forgiveness CMause
A student may borrow up to
$1,000 a year or $5,000 during his
college career. He will liave up to
10 years in which to repay the loan
at an interest of 3 per cent.
However, there is a forgiveness
clause underwhich up to 50 per
cent of the loan may be forgiven
if the student goes into teaching.
In order to qualify for the maxi-
mum benefit, the person must
teach for at least five years.
Flynt Comments
Director of Student Aid Henry
N. Flynt, Jr. said Williams would
not take advantage of the program
this year and hasn't in fact made
any decision on whether to use It
in the future.
He said this was largely due to
the fact that many procedural
matters have not been settled ,vet.

The brown J-U of the J-U-M-

Russian Expert
Now known as a Russian ex-
pert, Scott began his study of that
country at first hand in 1931,
when he left the University of
Wisconsin to work in industrial
plants in the Soviet Union as a
welder. These five years in Siberi-
an industry are the subject of his
first book, "Beyond the Urals",
published in 1942.
Expelled from Russia
In 1940 and 1941, Scott made the
first of his many fact-finding
trips, this one through the Bal-
kans, the Middle East, and Asiatic
Russia. He was expelled from Rus-
sia by Soviet authorities who
claimed he was "slandering" Rus-
sian foreign policy and "invent-
ing" reports of friction between
Russia and Germany. Two weeks
later, Germany attacked Ru.ssia.
During the war he covered the
State Department in Washington
and later headed the "Time-Life"
bureau in Stockholm.
Scott Is also the author of such
works as "Duel for Europe", Eur-
ope in Revolution", and "Political
Warfare".
Investments Profitable
To Group Of Juniors
Tile Williams Investment CUiL.
was organized to give experience
in the securities market to a group
of undergraduates.
Thus far the club has made ap-
proximately $100 profit on both
General Plywood and Certain-
Teed Products, which were bought
and quickly sold. This year the
group is tied up in Erie Forge pre-
ferred stock and Wabash Rail-
road bonds. Ihe former is held
for capital gains, the latter for
income. There have been no pro-
fits as of yet.
Officers
In addition to Shell Parker, the
president, other officers for this
year are John Travers, vice-pre-
sident. Brent Baird, treasurer, and
Charles Nichols, secretary. The
Investment Club handles its busi-
ness wil;h Goodbody and Company,
who operate a branch in Pitts-
field.
inter Weekend
3ki Meet Mixup
Williams Winter Houseparties
are set for the originally scheduled
weekend, February 6-7-8, despite a
mixup about the date of the ski-
ing competition, which is the sole
excuse for a wintci- weekend in the
Bcrkshires.
With Dartmouth Winter Carni-
val originally slated for the week-
end of Feb. 14th, it was decided
that Williams would have theirs
the week before. In late Septem-
ber, at a meeting of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Skiing Association
I the organizaiion which regulates
and sei,s the dates for .skiing com-
peution) Dartmouth announced
thai [hey were moving oack one
v/Lvk. Notification was sent to an
.i.ember colleges, including Wil-
liams. The Dspartment of Ath-
letics, assliniing the WOC was
1 Linning the weekend, informed
tliem of the change.
The official student group dele-
gated to allocate weekends — the
Houseparties Committee of ihe CC
— had decided to allow the sopho-
more class to handle the Wiiuei
Carnival. Unaware of the change,
the sophomore committee con-
tracted the Dorsey Band to ap-
pear here February 7. The sopho-
mores learned of the new date
.shortly before Thanksgiving, too
late for any changes.
As things stand now, Williams
will liave a Winter Carnival with-
out .skiing lonly basketball and
wrestling at home) in direct com-
petition with Dartmouth, but with
an excellent band. The following
W'eektnd will feature skiing and
swimming, but no formal social
activity. To eliminate future con-
fusion, skiing events will now be
definitely set in advance by the
EISA.

Walden, the most convincing
speaker, effectively countered. He
observed that for every statement
that considered radiation harm-
less, there was another one which
look the opposite view. Finally he
noted that by refusing to stop
testing, we were failing in foreign
diplomacy.

claimed that the affirmative had

In the rebuttals, Phillips stressed
"If is only a piece of paper they

the Russians had been violated.
Griffiths and Contant got involved
in the interpretation of the topic.
Walden concluded with two cle-
ver points, both referring to neg-
ative statements which he refuted.
Coburn asked the audience for a

aasily captured.
Glee Cluh, Orchestra
To Present Cherubini
The Williams Glee Club, led by
■Victor Yellin, will stage its first
formal concert at Williams Friday
evening, presenting Cherubini's
Second Requiem Mass. The group
will be accompanied by the Har-
vard-Radcliffe Orchestra, which
will play Corelli's "Concert Grosso
in G Minor. No. 8, Op. 6," and
Haydn's "Symphony in D Major,
No. 104." This same program was
put on at Harvard last Friday
with great success.
Brown Sings Solo
The Requiem itself consists of
seven movements, including choral
setting of the Gradual and the
music for the Elevation. Tlie Tract
is Gregorian chant, a solo which
IS sung by Don Brown '59, tenor
and president of the Glee Club.
The production last Pi'lday was
criticized by the Harvard "Crim-
son" for its lack in tone, but prais-
ed for its intonation and balance.
The Requiem is espccir.l'v notabl':'
as it has, as far as we know, ne c;-
before been presented in this
country, due to a lack of recogni-
tion of Cherubini's works in the
musical world.

Letter To The Editor
RINK ROOF
i'o tlie Editor;
I feel that it is time that someone spoke out
against the |50or intereoUege relations being de-
velojjed by our poor athletic facilities at Wil-
liams. On Friday last, for examjile, a team travel-
led 250 miles, cutting classes and giving up study
time, in hopes of playing a hockey game. As has
often happened before, bad weather prevented
the playing of this game and 1 seriously doubt
if the Bowdoin team enjoyed the trip sufficiently
to warrant said loss of time and, from the college
|3oint of view, money. A member of another
liockey team recently told me that our hockey,
along with many other athletic facilities, is jjoorer
than many high-school setu|)s, and not near to
being on a jjar with those of other colleges. The
|K)wers that be continue to jjoint out that Am-
lierst doesn't have a cover for their hockey rink
(the rest of their athletic plant far excels ours)
and use this as a salve for our not having one. But
when one realizes that Williams and Amherst
are definitely the exce|5tions in regard to this,
this argument loses most of its force.
1 think that, if we are going to jiartieipate
in intercollegiate athletics, we should have the
physical plant that will prevent a team's travel-
ling 250 miles, only to have the gaine called off.

The concluding coninwnts of foreifi^n stu-
ilcnls at Williams pcrUiining to attitudes toward
puHlics and the mcdiu of news illustrate sev-
eral poi)itH runiiini^ throw^h the previous con-
Irihulioiis to this series.
I'arlienlurlii interesting is the assertion re-
peated before that the Anwriean wai/ of life
based upon the timetable (and perhaps tra-
(juilizer) is not so conducive to reflection on cer-
tain tojiics as in other less hurried lands.
Juiuiosuke t'urukawa - fapan; There are sev-
eral reasons for |apan s increased interest in poli-
tics, especially notable since World War 11. |a-
|>an is \ery small, the ))e()ple iiaving to live very
close together, which makes it almost imperative
that tliev keep abreast with tlie issues, especially
domestic.
Occidental and Criecance
A. second cause is the influence of the West,
l)articnlarly the United States, which with its
business men, balljjlayers and other athletes
liave made tiie country increasingly coiLscious
of the outside. Anotlier is that the peojjle have
more recently found that grievances re])orted to
tlieii- senators have otten produced results; so
they read newspapers and l)ceome interested.
What is tlie nature of this interest? Usually
close to 70 per cent and never l)elow 65 per cent
of the eligible \ote in elections. It should be not-
ett here that because ot tlie compulsory 9 yeai-s
or schooling, about 95 per cent of the populace
(otl pt'r cent are tanners) can read and write.
Attraction of Elections
ihc intelligeucia, white collar workers, stu-
tleius and busnicss men are consistently eoiicern-
I'cl witii tlie news while the lower class which is
ov lai' iiie iiiajoruy confines most of its activity
lo uie local ana national campaigns and elections
aiKi not so mucii to the interims between them.
I use about everyone in the big cities, how-
ever, including the poor, read ncwsjiapers such
as ihe Asahi, and are somewhat versed at least
ill yuemoy, US elections, and other topics of
ini|)ortaiice. The very rich do not control poh-
cies anymore (anotlier reason for more interest)
hut usually sui5|)ly linancial aid to tlie parties.
lime and Parties
Two reasons can help e.\]5lain the aetise
interest in the small, middle and uppi'r classes
of Japan as compared to perha]3s a lesser over-
all concern in the same American segments. One
is that in Japan, with less entertainnient and a
less hurrieil life, there is more time for rellee-
tion and thought. Also, because the parties (Lib-
eral and Socialist) are wider apart than is the
case here, it makes more of a difference to the
individual voter who gets into power.
Tao Ho - China; The Chinese jjioblein is
a difficult one and must be related to certain
undeniable points of national characteristics. Ex-
tremely important are tlu^ 6{)()() years of tradi-
tion which Communist domination is actively di-
rected against. When the present regime took
over, the people in such economic distress ex-
pected something better than they had received
in the past.
Quietude of Confucius
The Chinese are not as interested in poli-
tics and government as other peojile but in the
life of being left alone to pursue their ways in the
tradition of (|iiietude and the Golden Age of Con-
fucius. It is not that they desire to be rich but
that their political, economic and social condition
be such that this tradition will not be disturbed.

The Communists, by trying to change the language, by brii
iiig in the heavy machinery to convert the (Chinese way to a I
one of mass iKoduction, by the spying-within-families sy.stein, a
the rest, are thus disru|)ting the tradition. Ami this is paradoxi,
in that the Ueds are doing this to keep up with the iiiteii.se li|(
the West, vvliieh sympathizes witli the C;hinese people but at I
same time holds a way of life coiu|)letely opposite from the C
nese.
Value of Freedom
Our way can best be summarized in the word Freedom. I
|)eo|)le want to be left alone, to |nirsne their occiipatious, to as
elate with friends without fear. Tliey care nothing about pohi
at the high levels. Hut the knock on the iloor at miilnight and otj,
Coimniiiiist signs of the times are rex'ersing Confucius, and tl
they hate.
But who is "they"? The older folks, yes, who can rememl,
better times. The young |)eo|)le, liowe\er, who are being ind.
trinated to rejiort their parents' "subversive" remarks are losi
contact with the life of the Ciolden Means. The vomiger ones Iki
never known it.
And here the future of China natmallv lies because the p
eiits will sometlay die. ()nl>' time can tell il the tradition (wind
think is part of the hope) will be carried on in the futmc h\ t
youth.

later, however, the puck got loose

wing George Lowe promptly slap-
ped it in to tie the game at one
all.
Harvard Opens Up
Williams managed to hold Har-
vard for most of the fiist period,
forechecking in the Crimson zone
and breaking up the offensive
drives. With ten seconds left to
go in the period Fischer of Har-
vard scored on a fine shot. The
Ephs hardly recovered before he
duplicated his effort just as the
period buzzer sounded to make the
score 3-1.
In the second period Harvard
kept up the pressure as Higginbot-
tom tallied at 0:14. Crosby follow-
ed him up thirteen minutes later,
but Eph wing Bob Lowden made
it 5-2 after a brief scramble in
front of the Harvard cage before
the second period came to a close.
In the final period Harvard
turned on the power to score four
goals on shots by Fischer ito com-
plete a hat trick), Balboni, Vietze,
and Forbes. Alford of Williams
turned in a fine performance in
the nets, registering 40 saves a-
gainst the excellent Crimson at-
tack. The Eph attack ran hot and
2old but was on the whole unable
to penetrate the defense.
Frosh Cagers Meet

Wednesday at Cambridge to open

center. Backing him up in the for-
ward slots will be Mike Canon,

Starting at the guards Williams
will have Dave Ritchie and Brooke

Coach Coombs is optimistic a-
bout the team's chances and calls
it an even chance with a few

Playfair's Mother Had 'Peter' Role;
Son Makes His Stage Bow At AMT
When Professor Giles Playfair
directs James M. Barrie's "Peter
Pan" at the AMT during its run
from December 11-15, it will be
54 years — almost to the day — since
his mother appeared in the ori-
ginal London production.
"Peter Pan" was originally pro-
duced on December 27, 1904, with
Nina Boucicault as Peter. Play-
fair's mother, whose stage name
was May Martyn, understudied
Mi.ss Boucicault. However, she
played the Peter role at most of
tile performances, including all
matinees, because Miss Boucicault
was rather ill at the time.
ivliss Martyn's engagement to
Mr. Playfair, Sr. was announced
about a month later as plans were
readied for the New York produc-
tion. She wrote to Barrie, asking
if the role of Peter Pan was still
open. He answered:
"Dear Miss Martyn, I want to
send you my very best wishes for
your married life. May it give you
much happiness. As for 'Peter
Pan', I cannot say anything about
the casting of that play yet. I had
an idea of proposing you should
go to America in a good part in
another play, but I presume you
would not care to go now." As
most afficionados know, Maude A-
dams played the role of Peter in

In a second paragraph of his
letter to Professor Playfair's mo-
ther, Barrie added: "My kind re-
gards to Mr. Playfair. I think him
delicious in 'John Bull's Other Is-

original production of Shaw's play

Return to Schedule
On the basis of the Amherst
game Williams will have an even
chance of taking their opener.
Williams hasn't played Harvard
for two years.
Saturday. Williams will meet
Coast Guard in Williamstown. It
will be the fourth meeting be-
tween the two .schools since 1954.
Williams has a 3-0 record against
the cadets.
November, 1904. Professor Play-
fair's father was Sir Nigel Play-
fair, a noted British actor.
A New Star Rises
With such a theatrical tradition
behind him, it seems inevitable
that four-week old Piers Playfair
should be cast in "Peter Pan", The
baby's crying was taped for a five-
minute special .scene written by
E. J. Johnson '59, and Geoff Swift
'60. The scene, a dramatization of
part of the novel will be added
immediately after the Pirate Ship
scene. After listening to his son's
performance, Mr. Playfair com-
mented, "He's a born actor."
Besides Piers, the production in-
volves some 100 students, includ-
ing 45 members of the cast. Cast
members include two Williams-
town children, and several Ben-
nington girls.
English Debaters
Discuss Interests
And Basic Views
British debater Brian Walden,
who defended the affirmative in
Monday night's debate on A-bomb
testing, cites his environment as
the key factor contributing to his
love for debating.
Born in Birmingham, part of
England's "Red Belt" district, an
area well-known for its heavy de-
gree of political activity and its
socialist bent, Walden began de-
bating at an early age.
Personal Beliefs
Walden considers himself a rad-
ical in the American sense of the
word and cites his political affin-
ity to Senators Humphrey and
Proxmire, American left-wing De-
mocrats. A New Dealer, he stands
for the supervision mot owner-
ship i of business by government.
He also advocates complete equal-
ity of opportunity for all people
within the economic, social, and
political spheres. Walden believes
that "integration in Southern
schools will be the last step to-
wards this equality, though I feel
it will take a long time."
American vvomen impressed Wal-
den most, for though they "possess
;io greater natural beauty than
British girls, they seem to devote
much more care and attention to
make-up, clothing, and over-all
appearance."
Walden completed his under-
giaduate work at Oxford, where he
read in history. He was president
of the Oxford Union, a high rank-
ing debating organization, and
chairman of the Student Commit-
tee of the Socialist International.
He eventually hopes to enter poli-
tics in the Labour Party.
Stuart Griffiths
Stuart Griffiths, Walden's part-
ner, comes from Evesham, a small
town in Worcestershire, Unlike
Walden, he did not become inter-
ested in debating until he matri-
culated at Oxford. Here he, like
many other freshmen, was caught
up in the intense competition to
b(! elected to the Oxford Union De-
bating Society—one of the highest
honors possible for a freshman.
He became president of the Union
at the end of his third year. He has
also served as news editor of his
college's paper and as Editor-in-
Chief of its "Conservative As.socia-
tion Magazine".
As an undergraduate at Mag-
dalen College of Oxford, Griffiths
is reading in law. Unlike Walden,
he is unmarried and returns next
year to Magdalen as a senior to
complete his degree. He then hopes
to go into journalism, possibly with
the "London Times".

THE GIFT HORSE
I know how busy you are— stiidyiiis, KoiiiK to cltis.'*, catcliins
night crawlers— but let me interrupt your imiltifarioiis activi-
ties— studying, going to cla.ss, heloiiiR old f^iails find their
denture.s after Iloinecominf;— to remind you that Imsy iw >ou
•re— studying, going to chiss, searohitig for iiieat in the dormi-
tory stew— time and tide wait for no man, iind the Yuletide will
Boon be upon us. Busy or not, we inu.st turn our tliounlits to
Christmas shopping. I<ct us, therefore, pause for a iiKiment in
our busy schedules — studying, going to I'iass, rolling dnink.s—
to examine a number of interesting gift sucgeslions.
We will start with the barilest gift pidbleiii of all: AVIial do
you give to the person wlio has everything? Well .sir, there fol-
lows a li.st of a half dozen gifts vvhioh 1 will llutiy guarantee lliu
person who has everything does not have:
1. A dentist's chair.
2. A low hurdle.
3. A street map of Perth.
4. J'ifty pounds of chicken fat.
5. A carton of fillci-ti|) Marlboiiw.
6. A carton of iion-f]lt(>r Philip Morris.
"Whnt?" you exclaim, your young eyebrows rising in wild
incredulity. "The person who has everj'thing does not liave
cartons of filter Marlboros and non-filter Philip Morris?" you
shriek, your youtig lips curling moekinuly. "What tirrant non-
sense!" you rasp, making a coarse gesture.
And I reply with an emphatic no! The person who luis every-
thing does not have filter Miirlboros and non-filter Philip Morris
—not for long anyhow— because if be has Marlhoros and Pliilip
Morris and if he is a person who likes a mild, mellow, fresh,
flavorful cigarette— and who does not? eh? who does not?—
why, then lie doesn't have Mnrlboros and Philip Morris; he
smokes them. He might po.ssibly have a large eolleetioii of
MarlJKjro and Philip Morris ;)»/(.s-, but whale .Marlboros ami
Philip Morris? No. An emph.atic no!
Now we take up another thorny gift problem : What do you
buy your girl if you arc broke? Quite a challenge, you will agree,
but there is an answer— an ingenious, exciting answer! iSurpiise
your girl with a beautiful bronze head of herself 1
«?/:.-
Oh, I know you're not a sculptor, but that doesn't matter. All
you have to do is endear your.self to your girl's roommate, so
she will be willing to do you a favor. Then .some night when
your girl is fast asleep, have the roomniiite butter your girl's
face-quietly, so as not to wake hcr-and then quietly !>">"'
plaster of Paris on top of the butter and then (piietly wait till it
hardens and quietly lift it off- the butter will keep it from
sticking- and then bring you the tnoltl, and you will pour bronze
in it and make a beautiful bust to surpri.se your girl with !
Remember, it is important- irri/ important-to endear your-
self to the roommate, becau.se if tinything should go wrong,
you don't want to be without a girl for the holiday .season.

Popularly regarded as a tech-
.oloKiCal nightmare, "Peter Pan"
ived up to its reputation by .slum-
,|ing onward to an abbreviated
• iiding despite such shortcoming.s
;is falling scenery, falling lighc
:(>lls, failing spotlights, un-in-
U'nded lighting effects, and other
less important mechanical fail-
iu-es. The fantastic settings de-
signed, painted, and personally
upervised by John Exell, as well
,is those few performers who cap-
I ured the feeling of Barrie's fan-
tasy, labored under calculated er-
rors of the stage mechanics, the
apparent inability of the stage
ciew to maneuver the sets, and the
inharmonious music provided by
1 j.omas Griswold. Although it at-
u.aipted to bridge the laborious
.utLriUi^.sions at least in part, Mr.
Llr.swold's music failed, except in
1 .ir. occasions, to capture the feel-
11. g uf "Peter Pan", and in effect
a. itrred from it.
Clearly "Peter Pan" was the ve-
liicle of Harvey Simmonds, as he
above all brought to the produc-
tion the feeling of youth and ad-
.enture which the role demands.
Doing a superlative job, too often
hampered by faulty support, Sim-
monds emerged as the fine actor
he is, and was richly rewarded
foi his effort. After the perform-
ance, Simmonds was greeted by
iii:; parents, flown from their home
in Swanee, Tennessee by the mem-
bers of his entry E of Williams.
Mr. and Mrs. Simmonds are the
Ruests until Friday of Rev. and
Mrs. Cole.
As the diabolic Captain Hook,
Tony Distler gave a fine perform-
ance, mingling well the violent
cruelty directed to the children in
!he audience, and the almost pa-
'hetic character seen by the more
adult. In all Hook emerges a thor-
"ughly enjoyable if not lovable
character.

Treasurers Study
Notes High Cost
According to statistics being pre-
pared by the House Treasurers'
Council a disparity of as much as
iliree hundred dollars exists be-
iween the cost of living in the
iiiost expensive and the least ex-
IJensive fraternity on campus.
Research by Walter Foster '59.
lias shown that the disparity is
caused by inefficient management
imd not by differences in the a-
iiiount that the individual receives
ill various houses.
Efforts to correct this situation,
under the direction of John Phil-
lips '59, Chairman of the Council,
liave begun with the improvement
of communication among frater-
nity treasurers.
Amherst Plan
The Amherst fraternity system
was studied by the Council. At
Amherst an experienced account
ant is employed as financial ad
visor to the fraternities. He works
with them as a unit, not as indi-
vidual houses.
Council To Assist
Admissions Group
A group of students will lalk a-
bout Williams to interested high
-sciiool seniors in iheir home towns
tins Christmas vacation, initiating
a College Council plan for siudeni
participation in the admissions
program.
Approved last week, ohe group
will operate individually under
recommendations of the CC Ad-
missions Committee, Dick Gallop
'60, chairman, ine Committee has
no official connection willi che
Admissions Department but exists
in order to make direct contact be-
tween Williams and the high
schools which Admis-sions officers
are unable to visit. Gallop, in an
interview, emphasized that the
aim would be to make sub-fresh-
men feel "freer to ask personal
questions about the College."
Approximately eight schools will
be visited during the holidays by
students chosen by the Committee.
Bob Rorke '60, who introduced the
i:ie2ram, hopeu that it v.-ill even-
tually serve to make the more re-
mote high schools aware of Wil-
liams and small-college liberal
arts education in general.
The Admissions Office will sup-
ply the group with a list of most
frequently asked questions in pre-
coUege interviews so that some
preparation will be possible.
Other members are; Al Martin
'60, Dave Andersen '61, and Raw-
son Gordon '62.
College To Decide Conference Reviews
Five Amendments g^ n ^ . ^
Lollege Lurricumm
The College will vote Tuesday
on five College Council constitu-
tion amendments in the fraterni-
ties and in Baxter Hall.
Of greatest interest is the a-
mendment which deals with the
process of initiating a referendum.
The petition presently must in-
clude 10 per cent of the students;
Lhe amendment would make it 20
per cent. Now, 50 per cent of the
students must vote in a referen-
dum in order to make the verdict
valid; an amendment will remove
ihis requirement.
These points would eliminate the
possibility of an abstention being
a weapon to those who wish to de-
teat a referendum. The amend-
ment machinery of the constitu-
tion will not be changed. That re-
quires 15 per cent of the students
petitioning and 50 per cent vot-
ing.

An amendment passed last year
limits the number of high student
offices to one per man. In May,

WCC Meeting Analyzes
Little Three Education
Delegates Iroin Ainhcrst, IJowdoiii, Dartmoutli, Wesleyaii, and
Williams ended Tliuisday tlieir tlirec-dav visit to \Villiam.s as
|( prcsentatives to the fourth animal I acuity Pentaj^oiial conference.
"The purpose ol this eoiifereiice," stated Professor William
Oliver, Chairman of the faculty
Pentagonal planning committee,
"was to enable visitors from the
other Pentagonal colleges to see
how Williams operates, particular-
ly in curriculum and academic
matters." Their purpose is to ob-
serve rather than evaluate.
Tuesday Meetings
The delegates received most of
their insights into Williams' .set-
up by visiting classes, talking to
members of the faculty, and visit-
ing fraternity houses. In addition,
the opening meeting Tuesday
night described to the representa-
tives the details of the Williams
curriculum: its history and its
present set-up.
Throughout the three-day con-
ference, delegates talked over mu-
tual common problems on their
respective campuses. They also dis-
cussed differences among the col-
leges, especially delving into the
tri -semester system now in effect
at Dartmouth.
The conference fostered an ex-
change of ideas and a learning in
greater detail of the workings of
Williams College. "Success" will
lie in the knowledge gained by
each of the representatives.

ing for knowledge and not for
grades."
Phillips
Phillips noted an increasing
trend among students away from a
liberal arts education at Williams.
Hd commented on a tendency to
specialize in vocations on the un-
dergraduate level and "to use a
Williams diploma as a stepping
stone to bigger and better things."

occasion a Dartmouth representa-
tive summed up his view of the
conference: "It has been advan-
tageous to discuss our problems
and set-ups, but I guess the most
positive feeling we have on leav-
ing is a satisfaction that we aren't
alone in our problems."
TIMINIC'S SCOTT
.1. Appleseed on Last Frontier
By John Franklin
In a lecture Thursday night,
John Scott asserted that the po-
tentially independent states of Af-
rica would tend to look to Russia
for support due to certain simil-
arities in the background of Af-
rica and the USSR. Scott, Spe-
cial Assistant to the publisher of
"Time", has recently returned
from Africa.
Scott compared the Russia he
knew In 1931 to the present re-
gime. Although the aims of So-
viet Government are unchanged,
the average Russian now enjoys
a greater degree of freedom.
The living conditions of the
Russians are still quite poor. Nev-
ertheless, they have improved con-
siderably. This is the result of the
government's ability to extract
maximum efforts from the work-
ers and still spend little money
on their behalf.
Scott said that this governmen-
tal function is of great importance
in considering the future of the
various projected independent
African states. Democracy as the j
West linows it cannot exist in Af-
rica, he said. The masses of people
are accustomed to the arbitrary
rule of their tribal chiefs much as
the Russians are subject to that
of their leaders. Democracy,
therefore, must be restricted in
order to work in Africa.
The economy, vastly unstable
due to the sudden rise in popula-
tion, must be closely supervised.
Egypt, under a dictatorship simi-
lar to the USSR has risen above
other African states to the point
of building a steel mill, the ulti-
mate symbol of the twentieth cen-
tury to Africans.

TREASURERS - The North-
ern Berkshire Electric Co. of
North Adams will entertain the
House Tieasurer's Council at
dinner on Tuesday. Chairman
Phillips '59. says that the meal
will get the treasurers together
socially as well as providing an
opportunity to see the latest in

No Hockey Roof
Plans At Present
The College has no immediate
plans to construct a cover for the
hockey rink. Treasurer Charles A.
Foehl Jr. said yesterday. But
Foehl stated that plans for such
a covering would probably be a
part of any future building con-
struction program. He estimated
plans for such a program would be
completed by the end of this year.
Raising Endowment is Goal
Foehl pointed to the trustees'
current financial objective of rais-
ing endowment as the primary
reason for the lack of current
plans to roof the rink.
He said the College has just
completed a ten-year construction
program which has doubled the
value of College property, and that
the College is now primarily in-
terested in raising faculty salar-
ies.
Rumor Denied
Foehl denied the College had re-
fused financial aid for roof con-
struction. Such a rumor had been
circulating the campus early this
week.
The rumor started after slushy
rains had forced the cancellation
of the Bowdoin hockey game and
brought to a focus the lack of a
roof for the rink.
It is estimated the cost of cov-
ering the rink would be from $100
to 300 thousand, depending on
whether the rink is completely
enclosed or only covered.

I lia\t' heard disurimtled coiuments from

lor a lectiue are sk\-hinh; but when a rooiti lull

that the Drama major would initialK' ie(|uire
(if we included courses in the I'jiirlish depart-
ment in the major sc(|ueiice. The major would
not only make use of theatre facilities, and fill
up a hole in the cnrricnium, but it would, I h'cl,
attract enough voniio; men interested in the field
of drama to <;i\e the ,\MT the (|nalitv that its
productions often lack; a benefit to the entire

THE
SECRET
LIFE
OF
GORDON
WITTY
It was a .si.xly-.seven-yard kick, at a bad aiiKle, inio
the wind. A field goal would mean the game, and ;i
Rose Bowl bid. Anxious teammates clustered around
Gordon Witty in the huddle. "Can you do it, kuv?"
they asked. Gordon squinted downfieki to where the
slim white goal posts framed a flaming red Schaeh'r
beer sign on the low wall beyond. "Gentlemen," he
smiled, calmly adjusting hi.s helmet, "I can hit the
'S' in Schaefer from here with either Joot!" . ,.
"Stop kicking pebbles!" Mrs. Witty said. "You're
scufTing up your new shoes!" Gordon stared at his
wife as if he had never seen her before. Then, sigh-
ing, he followed her into the supermarket. The shop
ping cart he got needed fixing; it went wicketa
wicketa, rvickcln as he wheeled it past a display o'
toy jet planes and over to the Schaefer shelves. Ih'
put a six-pack in the cart.
. . . The mess boy put a bottle of Schaefer and a glas>
in front of him. "Your kind of beer. Major Witty, sir.
Real beer." "Righto," Gordon said. "Experts call ii
round because it has a smooth harmony of flavors.'
He listened idly to the wicketa, wicketa, wicketa o!
the guns defending the airstrip outside. "It's MK".
Alley for me again tonight, lad. They say my jet
needs fixing, but then what
doesn't?" He drained his
glass and smashed it against
the fireplace. . . .
Gordon stared at the broken
jar of pickles on the floor.
"Now you've done it!" his
wife screamed, coming up
behind him and making him jump. "I'll pay the
man," he said softly, "I'll pay."
In the checkout line Mrs. "Witty hurried away to
get an item she'd forgotten. Gordon stood quietly,
staring at a rack of TV magazines . , . The red light
flashed on camera two. Smiling, forever indomitable,
he raised his glass in a carefree toast and said,
"Good evening, viewers. This is Gordon Witty,
speaking for Schaefer beer."

Frosh Swimming
Prospects Bright
The Williams freshman swim-
ming team will inaugurate its
1958-59 season in a home meet a-
gainst the RPI squad today at
2:00 p.m.
The team, directed by varsity
:;oach Bob Muir. is richly endowed
with talented performers. Hand-
ling the 50 and 100 yard freestyle
events will be Bob Panuska and
Dave Mellencamp. In the 200 yard
i'leestyle. John Haslett will get
ihe nod. Steve Fowle will swim In
ihe 150 individual medley and ac-
company Paul Dernier in the 100
yard buttei'fly. The backstroke as-
signment is delegated to Robin
Durham. Vying for the breast-
stroke chores are Charlie Kurtz.
Tim Sullivan. Irv Marcus and To-
ny Way. Ed Jarman is the fresh-
man diver.
Relays
The 200 yard freestyle relay
t'..am will be compo.sed of Mellen-
camp. Panuska. Haslett and Dur-
ham. Durham. Fowle. Kurtz and
Haslelt make up the medley relay
leam.
Tonight the varsity hockey team
travels to Rye, New York, to play
Amherst for the first time this
season.
The game is being .sponsored by
the Westchester Alumni Associa-
tions of both colleges. Proceeds
from tonight's game will be split
eiiually between Williams and Am-
lierst for the benefit of their re-
spective scholarship funds.
First of Three
Although the game played at
Rye every year is usually against
Dartmouth, a schedule mixup
forced Williams to look for an-
other opjjonent. The two alumni
a.ssociations promoted this Wil-
liams-Amherst contest in West-
chester. The two teams will meet
twice more after tonight: at Am-
herst on February 14 and here on
March 7. These three games will
taring the total to 44 since 1909.
Coach Bill McCormick expects
to start the same team that play-
ed against Harvard last Saturday.
The first line of Larry Hawkins,
George Lowe, and Bob Lowden
should be a well-oiled machine to-
night. Captain Tom Piper and
Tom Thorns will start at defense
in front of Dick Alford in the goal.
Frosh Hockey Squad
Tops Lenox In Debut
The Williams freshman hockey
leam easily trounced a green Len-
ox squad, 8-1. at Lenox Wednes-
day.
In spile of their .somewhat slop-
py play, it was evident from Llie
outs;n that the Ephs were the su-
perior team. In the final analysis,
goalie Ham Brown had to make
only 7 saves as against 34 by his
Lenox counterpart.
{'omstook. Bcadie Score
First line wing5 Marc Comstock
:uid Bill Beadie sparked the Wil-
liams attack with two goals each.
Dick Adams. Tom Boyden, and
defcnseman John Roe also tallied
for the Ephmen. Center Pete Mar-
lowe is credited with four key as-
sists.
This is Mae, the mo.st meticulous housekeeper in
Manhattan. She takes care of the Williams Club
room.s. Did you know the Williams Club has rooms'.'
It does. Fine rooms, and spacious. And not a speck
of dust to be seen in the lot of them. That's because
of Mae. She's forever vacuuming the deep-pile car-
pets, fliifflnp: the feather pillows, adjusting the un-
obtrusive air-conditioning units. Your next weekend
in NYC would be a good weekend to disport your-
self in the lavish living of the Williams Club. Special
rate for under-graduates $3.15 — that's several dollars
less than you'd pay for a comparable room at any
good New York hotel. Addres.s : 24 E. 89 Street, just

Mae-made beds.
THE WILLIAMS RECORD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1958
Pierson Returns After
Heading US Art Study
Bi/ George Rcath
William Harvey Pii'isoii, jr., Professor of Art, returned to
Williams this fall after a year and a half as Executive Secretary
of tlie C-'aniegie Study of the Arts of the United States and one
seme
lie Carnegie Study of t!
lester's sabbatical lea\'e.
Pierson, a graduate of the Yale
School of Fine Arts, served as co-
ordinator of a committee set up to
study the art of America. In the
course of this study, he amassed
a collection of approximately 1000
photographs, the most complete
slide collection of American art to
be found. The purpose of the study
was "to develop visual material for
teaching purposes. We have put
together a series of color slides of
American art in all its phases."
The development of a new tech-
nique of slide projection — the use
of color negatives rather than
standard Kodachrome reversals —
was a significant contribution of
Pierson's study.
Pierson is at present preparing a
book on American architecture for
the Doubleday Anchor series,
which will be published within the
next year and a half. He spent
his sabbatical in Europe, taking
over 3000 photographs for the Art
Department's slide collection.
A Navy veteran, Pierson came
to Williams in 1940. He took his
BFA and MFA at Yale, and his
MA at the New York University
Graduate School. After seeing ac-
tion in both the Atlantic and Pa-
cific theatres of World War II,
h3 returned to Williams in 1947.
Two years later he earned his
PhD at Yale.

ries of which Peter speaks, and
also the idea that perhaps she
should be something more to Peter
than a mother. This role seems
quite in demand, as Tiger Lily,
played by Jennifer Rains, also
aspires to it; tliis leaves the ac-
tual role of mother to Mrs. Dar-
ling, Wendy's real mother, por-
trayed with great feeling by Mrs.
Frances Chaffee.
The most enjoyable part of the
entire performance, however, is
the appearance of new talent on
the AMT stage. In the roles of
John and Michael, young Chris-
topher Howard and Cleveland
Dodge exhibit a feeling for the
stage and a genuine talent rarely
enough found hereabouts, regard-
less of age.
The choreography conceived by
Martha Myers, and directed by
Anthony Stout tended to drag le-
tiiargically in keeping with the
music provided. The dancers in-
volved demonstrated their lack of
previous contact with the dance,
with tha possible exception of a
few Bennington dance majors, and
Fraternity Group
Headed By Brush
An important, although relative-
ly unknown group, known as the
Graduate Committee of Williams
College Social Units, has recently
held two meetings, in New York,
and most recently in Williams-
town. They discussed the admis-
sions policies of the college and
decided to distribute a question-
naire concerning mutual social
and financial problems to all the
houses.
The purpose of the committee,
encompasses a wide range of prob-
lems: "to promote the best inter-
ests of Williams College by co-
ordinating the action of the social
units in the solution of mutual
problems."
Organized in November, 1950,
the committee consists of repre-
sentatives from each fraternity
and the now-defunct Garfield
Club. The present officers are Jer-
ome Brush '39, Psi U, chairman,
Daniel Chapman '26, DKE, vice-
chairman, and Gillert Lefferts, Jr.
'45, St. Anthony, secretary-treas-
urer.

In 1954, the first year these
tests were given, twelve men en-
tered Williams with advanced cre-
dit. Since then the number has
doubled and redoubled as more
secondary schools have adapted
and added courses to take advan-
tage of the program. Advanced
Placement developed under the di-
rection of Charles R. Keller, for-
mer head of the History Depart-
ment, is aimed at giving the ca-
pable secondary school student the
opportunity to enter college cours-
es at the sophomore level with
freshman credit for advanced pre-
college work.
English Preferred
Of the twelve subjects covered
by the Advanced Placement exams,
English Literature remains the
most popular. Twenty-two fresh-
men are taking sophomore courses
in this subject, while fourteen and
eleven are in similar positions in
the Math and History depart-
ments. More than half the "fail-
ed" exams i61) were in English

ognized by the College. Thirty-

was required to resign as class pre-

flicts in the future, complex a-
mendments are offered.
In this case, under the new a-
mendments. Gray would become
one of the three regular represen-
tatives on the CC for his class and
the other officers will move up the
scale. The officers are the five
men getting the most votes for
president. The legislation, of
course, does not cover resignations
of Gargoyle President or RECORD
Editor.
Others
Another amendment states that
a CC member may miss only three
rather than five meetings before
being fined $5 for each unexcused
absence. This will make it less
likely that the CC will be unable
to garner a quorum for its meet-
ings.
The final point will revoke an
unused section of the Constitution
which states that the members of
the CC shall hold biweekly public
panel discussions of the issues and
problems before the CC.

Richard Witty, who presented a
strong, agile, and graceful Pan-
ther.
Less agile and graceful, however,
was the effect of flying employed
by Peter, Wendy, Michael, and
John as their means of reaching
the ethereal Never Land. Only
Peter was in the least convincing
in the air, and although Michael
was able to demonstrate his aerial
ability within the nursery he was
unable to leave it.
Despite the inexperience of the
majority of actors in this produc-
tion, and the obvious difficulties
incurred by the demands of the
stage machinery, Giles Playfair
has pulled together a play out of
chaos. This fine direction, rather
than over-ambitious selection of
the vehicle, saves "Peter Pan", and
provides an interesting evening in
the theatre, if not a work of art.

Finance Report
Palmer White '59 submitted the

Committee on Finance, White
characterized the year as "very ed-
ucational" pointing out that the
new CCF Constitution, also sub-
mitted, does not provide that the
chairman be the CC treasurer,
White stated that this year Tom
Piper '59, had been almost the ef-
fectual head of the CCF becau.se
of his greater experience in un-
dergraduate finance.
Admissions
Dick Gallop '60, chairman of the
new Committee on Admissions of
the CC reported the "purely ex-
perimental" and "non-official"
nature of the Committee's work to

Snack Bar Features Good Food
In Friendly, Pleasant Atmosphere
By John Franklin and
Ben Campbell
One of the most popular places
in town to "pass the time of day",
and a good deal of the night, is
Ihe Student Union Snack bar. It
is probably the most widely fre-
quented spot on campus.
The interior of the snack bar,
designed by Perry S. Hepburn, af-
fords a noticeable contrast to the
rest of the building.
The original plans did not call
for the rustic interior which was
copied — at student request — from
tl- e first floor of the Alumni House,
which served as the college snack

"the few and the many"
Stock Market Expert
Speaks On Statistics
Walter K. Gutman, of Shields
and Co., a New York brokerage
firm, will speak Wednesday even-
ing at 8 in 3 Griffin on the value
of statistics in interpreting chan-
ges in the economy.
Author of Shields' provocative
weekly stock market letter analyz-
ing current trends, Gutman will
speak with particular reference to
stock market statistics. His talk
is sponsored by the Economics De-
partment.
"The problem of education in
oui social context is not to create
the exceptional man; he will take
care of himself. But to develop
men who can act as buffers be-
tween the intelligent few and the
vulgar many."
So John C. Usmenbrink sums up
hi.^ role as assistant professor of
political sci3nce at Williams.
The above idea, which he ex-
pressed in a recent talk on "Snobs
and Slobs", springs from the "old-
fashioned" distinction he makes
between the few and the many.
"The most glaring fact about
American society", Rensenbrink
says, is the "profound disassocia-
tion" which has grown up between
the few and the many.
The Snob
"The snob sustains a fairly bril-
liant though highly privatized cul-
ture, while the slob wallows in a
cheap idiotic, popular culture of
enormous fads and even more e-
normous conformities."
The enlightened few. when they
attempt to lead, teach or entertain
the slobs, "are necessarily limited
given the democratic process —
by the limitations of the mass
man. Our thoughtful man cannot
so much lead as follow.
"We must", he says, "find a
way to stop this polarization of so-

The beams and some of the sid-

discovered in Deerfield.
Non-Profit
According to Director of Dining
Halls, Sidney Chisholm, the col-
lege does not consider the snack
bar a profit making enterprise. It
occasionally runs a small deficit
but generally pays for itself.
Eight regular waitresses are em-
ployed by the college to run the
snack bar. Mrs. Doris Sanders,

the direction of Mrs. Sanders. The
evening shift is headed by Mrs.

Personal Comments
Tlie girls are noted for their
cheerfulness and good-nature.
"The fellows bring out our friend-

her patience, Mrs. McLain noted,
"I'm a fisherlady. You know you
have to have a lot of patience to

seemed to be the sentiment of all

Students To Run
Political Canvass
Under the direction of Profes-
sor Phillip K. Hastings, twenty
Williams students will take part in
a political behavior research pro-
ject.
The study, to be conducted in
Adams, will start soon after the
first of the year, and will be pri-
marily concerned with an analysis
of the various issues and influ-
ences presumed to have had an
effect on the outcome of the re-
cent congressional contest between
Professor James M. Burns and Sil-
vio O. Conte. The students will al-
so investigate current opinion on
such questions as a state sales tax,
rc-alignment of the congressional
districts in this state, the political
role of organized labor, and pos-
sible presidential candidates in
1960.
Purpose of Study
Hastings pointed out that the
educational advantages for the
sludent constitute the primary
purpose of the study. Students
working on the project will come
from Political Science 10, "Public
Opinion and Pressure Groups" and
Psychology 8, "Social Psychology."
The students will conduct a sys-
tematic analysis of a number of
organized groups active in Adams,
and will undertake case studies of
various opinion leaders in the ar-
ea. A public opinion survey of the
town's adult population is plan-
ned for late winter.
The public opinion materials lo-
cated at the Roper Public Opin-
ion Research Center will be used
for comparative study on the state,
regional and national levels. The
data gathered in the Adams pro-
ject will be kept at the center.
Improvement Of Soph
Quad, Jesup Planned
Assistant Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds, William
Bryant, has disclosed plans for re-
novating the first floor of Jesup
Hall and for re-landscaping the
Sophomore quad.
The renovation of Jesup — re-
painting the first floor to make the
entrance hall look more present-
able—should be completed this
winter. Asphalt tile flooring has
already been laid.
The improvement of the Sopho-
more quad has a more indefinite
schedule, as it will be part of an
overall landscaping scheme em-
bracing the whole college. When it
does crcur, this improvement will
probably include the restoration of
the wall behind the quad and cre-
ation of new driveways, walks, and
grass areas.
Burns Expresses
Political Opinions
Professor of Political Science
James M. Burns spoke on "Am-
erican Politics in the 1960's" at
the Carnegie Institute of Technol-
ogy last week. He was the first
speaker in a series of annual lec-
tures on public affairs.
Burns advanced a new hypothe-
sis about the American party sys-
tem. "Parties," he said, "are
mainly holding companies for per-
sonal factions attached to poli-
tical leaders in office or running
for office." He called for a streng-
thened national party system, a
party system under which major
parties would be held responsible
for carrying out party platforms.
Predictions for 1960
Looking ahead to 1960, Burns
predicted that Vice-president Nix-
on has a better chance for the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion than Governor-elect Rocke-
feller of New York. On the Demo-
cratic side, he said Kennedy had
the best chance of the Senatorial
candidates. But he did not rule out
Adlai Stevenson as a possibility.
Besides lecturing Bums sp>ent a
few days in the capacity of a vi-
siting professor. He talked with
students about student partici-
pation in politics and discussed
educational problems with deans
and department heads of the uni-
versity.

Letters To The Editor
BASKETBALL: IMPROVEMENT?
To tlu' Editor:
The William.s Collefro fre.sliinaii basketball
team of 1955-56 liad an oiitstaiidiiif^ recoid of
thirteen wiii.s and only two los.ses. They annexed
tlie Little Three (Jhanipion.shi]) handily, and a.s
a iniit were periiai^s one of the fine.st fre.shniaii
teams Williams has had in reeeiit years. These
men are playinj^ toirether for their fonrth season,
now on the varsity team. Four years of teamwork
and experience shoidd make this a formidable
group indeed, and shotdd enable them to ap-
proaeli a fine season.
Yet what are the prospects:' Alreatly this
team has lost to a Harvard team which was beat-
en i)y Amherst the week before. This team com-
piled a mediocre 9-11 record last season, at one
point dropping,' si.v strai),;lit contests. Over the
past seven seasons the record has been t^ood—
somethinj^ like half attain as many wins as los-
ses. Hilt then ai^aiii, this must not bi' considered
sinprisinjr as tjii' schedule iuclndes such patsies
as Ajnerican Intejiiational, Middlebuiv, Worces-
ter Polytechnic, and Coast Cuard, In the crucial
ari'a of Little Three play, the Kphs have not
aime.xed a title oiitrif^lit since 1954-55, To what
can one attribute this apparent decline since
freslinian season?
.Admittin}^ the \arious imponderables af-
fectiiij^ such human areas as s|)orts, still one can
l^o to the heart of the matter in coucreti' and
illiistrable instances.
Basketball, like most otlii'i' sports, re(|uires,
in •.vinm'nir, a certain aiuonnt of iniairination and
fle.\ii)ih'ty. Earl biaik found this out this j^ast
season when his ima<j;inati()n and daring, revers-
intj a decades-old pattern of football for iiiin, led
.\riny to their best season in a decade, Pi-ihaps
Williams has a lesson to learn here.
Williams basketball formations are rej^i-
mented and inflexible, in an imiiiiairinative )3at-
tern of set plays. All teams, iindeniablv, need
a certain amount of |)atterniiiir, but here there
is little room left for the inia<j;inati\ f, sometimes
f^ambiintr tactics so often needed to win ball
i;anies. More than e\'en this howexer, there is
a basic flaw in the offensixe theory of jjasket-
hall at Williams. 'i"o bejrin with, at the start of
most Eph pattern-plays, the ^uard starts into
tiie corner (from which area shots are vehe-
mently discouratred), automatically removiim
ininself from the phy. The play i^enerallv coii-
ciudes with one of the two rebonnders allowed
i)y the system nio\inir away from the basket to-
wai-d the general area of the foul line. Thus only
one lonely reboimder is left to face the enem\'
hordes— a jiathetic situation, especially when one
realizes how \erv crucial rebonndiiit; is to a
successful ball team. The o|)p()iieuts have an
automatic advantai^e (which is t;enerallv )Mit to
irood use).
Add to these thouirhts the fact tliat these
same |)lays have been used in Hillville for eons
now, always with the same sisrnals to beti;in them
ill their uiichaiif^inir, inflexible situation, and von
come up with opposinir fives that know our |)lavs
as well as we do. ( ,\sk Boil Madiric, Amherst
jruard, who could have ably filled in for Pete
Willmott at the Amherst-Williams [rame last
yeai-. )
Finally, .smart ba.sketball should be an at-
tempt to fit die offensi\-e tiieories and patterns
to the personnel, not \ ice Ncrsa. It is only com-
inoii sense tliat if rebomidiiijj and inside shootin)^ are the strouif
points of your s<(iiad, the offense should be adjusted to this situi
tion (not the three-out, two-in |5ractice presently employed.) Tlie
present system is fine for a team with two exceptional relxxmdi.i.^
and three able back-court o])eratives, but not the present WilliaiiK
anj^rej^ation which has three reboimder-sliooters, and at most, two
back court men with stronj;; outside shootinj^.
This is not a mere criticism, blandly j^iven from a passive ol).
ser\'er in the stantls, reflectinj^ only dissatisfaction and impatience
with Williams basketball. Rather it is an honest attem|)t to stmt
some critical judfj;mi'nt fjom the student-observers of ball hne
in Ephland, in hopes that it also inijrht insjiire certain chan"i.s
that would enable the Williams team to match that fine freslmiiiu
season. The iK'rsoimel is all there, with four years under tin ir
belts. What is lackinj; is fire and imaj^inatiou, that willinjrness lo
adapt and chaiif^e to meet the existing situation— not the situatic us
of yi'ars ago. With it, Williams coukl win its first outright Liinc
Three title since these |)reseiit seniors have been at Williams
Without it, liillyille faces a long wait.

FLAGS FOR HOV SEP ARTIES?
.\n 0|)en Letter to the Social (-'oimcil:
Thcii' appears to be an increasing |)roblem in regard (o
collegia attitude toward hoiiseparties. The lack of co-ordinatiuii
evidenced in the recent decision to hold Winter (>arnival u\i.-x
two weekends sers'es to jioint up this somewhat disturbing fact.
Hoiiseparties in the |)ast few years have increasingly tended
to become less of an expression of college co-operation than minlit
well be hoped. May we offer a small, and we ho]je somewhat help-
ful proposal.
We feel that the college needs a more evident symbol of tin-
traditions which ha\e carried through foi- so many years. So in
order to heighten the feeling that house|iarty weekencl is Williaius
Houscjiarty Weekend, we suggest that: 1) the Social (Jouiuil
form a committee to imcstigate the possibility of buying by lut
(for the sake of economy) fifteen Williams Flags to be flown from
each social unit on lloiiseparty and .Mumui Weekends, 2) that
this committee be empowered to speak to the non-affiliates ami
the freshman entries to see if they too would desire to be includeil
in this all-college plan.
We earnestly desire that this probli-m be gi\en immediate at-
tention so that this year's Winter Carnival may strive to be tlic
biggest and best one yet,

THE
PAJAMA
GAMBOL
-/
About a month or so after I lost my marbles and
moved to the hick hamlet of Drawstring to be boss
of a pajama factory, {Slumherama, the Ail-Around
Pajama,) there was this Employee Picnic. Being a
Big City Boy, I wouldn't have gone except they
made me in charge of the beer, and also there was
this redhead, Babs Wilson, going to be there. She
really "shook me up," as they say.
I had the Schaefer floating around in four happy
tubs of ice by the timie folks arrived. Aside from
Babs Wilson, it was the prettiest sight on the picnic
grounds. Everybody surrounded the beer, and the
air was filled with bon ?»ote like "wets your whistle"
and "down the hatch" and "here's looking at you."
One thing I'll say about these small towns, they sure
are full of sparkling repartee. I winked at Babs when
I heard her say Schaefer was her kind of beer. "Ex-
perts call it round," I yelled, "because it has a
smooth harmony of flavors." "Get him," she said.
That was my Babs, all right.
Later on I was trying to carry another case of
Schaefer over to the tubs and keep my eye on Babs
at the same time. I tripped, and the red and gold and
white cans spilled all around
heron the green grass."Oops !"
I said. Articulate fellow I am.
"Show-ofT!" she said. "I guess
I got a case on you, baby," I
said. Oh, we had a mad little
scene going for us, all right.
Then she laughed and so did I
and we got along fine after that.
I took Babs home after the picnic, and we shared
some Schaefer several times more that summer. And
because this here is a happy-ending story, friends,
I'll tell you that one night I kissed her six times and
proposed and she said yes and little Daniel Cupid
hovered over our heads singing love songs.
"Where are we going on our honeymoon?" says my
intended. "Through the Schaefer plant in Brooklyn,
New York," I said.

The Williams varsity hockey
team defeated favored Amherst
last Saturday night by a 2-1 score
on neutral ice at the Rye, N. \.
Arena.
The game was sponsored by the
Westchester County Alumni As-
sociations of both colleges. Pro-
ceeds from the game went to the
respective scholarship funds.
Scoring in Second
The scoring in the game all
came within about two minutes
in the middle of the second peri-
od. At 7:00 left wing Bob Lowden
slapped in the first goal after a
scramble in front of the Amherst
nets. Twelve seconds later Larry
Hawkins .scored on an unassisted
effort to put Williams into a 2-0
lead. At 9:05, however, Crosby of
Amherst tallied with assists by
Church and McClean.
Except for this flurry of scor-
ing the game was an even see-
saw battle. The Williams defense
was sparked by sophomore goalie
Al Lapey, until now a third string
goal tender. Lapey made 31 saves
including a few beautiful stops to
frustrate several Jeff drives. He
was backed up by heavy checking
from the Eph defensemen.
RPI Wednesday
Williams will play Amherst twice
more this season, at Amherst on
February 14 and here on March 7.
The next scheduled game is a-
gainst RPI at Troy today. Last

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1958
Reviewer Lauds Glee Club Concert
V/ith Harvard-Radcliife Orchestra
By Robert Pyle
Approximately 350 people, the
largest crowd to hear the Williams
Glee Club perform in recent years,
witnessed the success of Cheru
bini's "Requiem in D minor" Pri
day niBht in Chapin Hall. In his
initial appearance Victor Yellin
of the music department led the
visiting Harvard-Radcliffe Orches-
tra and the glee club in this Joint
worlc.
The "Requiem", sung in Latin,
v/as divided into seven sections. In
three of these, the "Gradual", the
"Offertory", and the "Sanctus",
the performance was excellent.
Clear enunciation, proper blending
of orchestra and chorus, and sharp
attacks were most apparent. In
the other divisions, the entrance
attacks were somewhat sloppy.
Brown Excels
Don Brown '59, deserves special
recognition for his outstanding
performance as tenor soloist in the

sion and emotion, he lent a pro-
fessional air to this work. A very
pleasing effect was achieved in
the last sections when both or-
chestra and chorus were perform-
ing "forte." At this time the or-
chestra softened slightly, thus em-
phasizing the chorus.

Deferred Rushing
Climaxing a period of heated
student debate at Wesleyan, pro-
ponents of immediate rushing were
victorious over those of deferred
rushing in last Wednesday's
school-wide referendum. Immedi-
ate rushing supporters cast 57 per
cent of the 615 ballots deposited.
In an enthusiastic turn-out of
82 per cent of the student body,
deferred rushing was supported
more strongly than had been an-
ticipated. Of the fifteen social
groups on campus, five voted em-
phatically for the deferred rushing
proposition.
Since the deferred rushing issue
was voted down, plans which
would have run as corollaries to
the proposition were also voted
down. The student body expressed
a desire to have, if deferred rush-
ing should ever be passed, a stu-
dent union with freshman eating
facilities, since an all-school caf-
eteria or thirteen rotating fresh-
man eating groups appear imprac-,
tical.

A "Buffer" Needed
The solution Rensenbrink offers
is the development of a "buffer"
between the two groups— "a medi-
ator that will provide a critical
and appreciative audience for the
best and will act as a restraint up-
on the pretensions and stupidities
of the many."
This buffer class, he feels,
should be the product of the lib-
eral arts college; and he feels the
colleges are failing in this task.
Specifically, Rensenbrink feels
Williams is too "career-oriented".
He proposes, among other things,
that the curriculum be oriented
"away from professionalization
and specialization."

But I digress. For our first lesson in social science, let us
turn to economics, often called the (iiieen of the social scieiiccs.
(Sociology is the king of the social sciences. Adverti.sinu is thii
jack.)
_ Economics breaks down into two broad general classifica-
tions; 1) coins; 2) folding money. Hiil liclore taking up llicse
technical aspects, let us survey brielly the history of ucoiiomics.

He published his findings in 1780, hut evervl)o<ly giggled .so
hard that Smith, blushing hotly, gave up the" wlioh; tiling and
went mto the cough drop business witli his brother.
For long years after that economics lay neglected while the
world busied itself with other things, like the birth of Victor
Hugo, the last days of Pompeii, and the Bunny Hug.
Then one day while flying a kite during a thunderstorm, the
American, Henry George (also called Thorstein Veblen), dis-
covered the law of diminishing returns, and then, boy, the I'at

Revolution was on! Mech.anizntion and steam power resulted

No. 1 - Absences
Passed 587-79 to allow Council
members three rather than five
unexcused absences before the im-
position of a $5 fine. This is to
insure the presence of a quorum
at all meetings.

Passed 447-196 to rescind an un-
used portion of the Constitution
which calls for bi-weekly public
hearings on bu.sine.ss before the
Council. This vote passed by only
three due largely to the feeling
that there may be unused parts

must resign one of the positions.
The Amendment provides that he
shall remain on the Council al-

As Students Tire
More than 87 per cent of the
college was tii'ed this week accord-
ing to an unofficial RECORD
poll. There were term papers in
every possible subject; some peo-
ple were getting panicky about
theses. The i-est of the school left
to work in local post offices early
this week to the extreme annoy-
ance of those who remained.
The comprehensive question-
naire also revealed that there was
no news being made in Williams-
town. This bore out the theory of
a majority of the faculty that un-
dergraduate Lssues do not materi-
alize in the middle of winter.
There was a minor run sustain-
ed by the Williamstown National
Bank and the Williamstown Boys
Club was invited to eat in the fra-
ternities Tuesday night. Some ac-

Gutman Cites Communist Menace;
Places Hopes In Market Science
"Walter K. Gutman Writes a
Market Letter" was the title of an
address delivered Wednesday night
by Walter K. Gutman of the New
York brokerage firm Shields and
Company. Sponsored by the Wil-
liams College Department of Ec-
onomics, the informal lecture was
delivered at OiOC P.m. m o orif-
fin Hall.
Gutman's provocative comments
analyzing the current politico-ec-
onomic trends incorporated a var-
iety of comments. These ranged
from remarks concerning our era
in general to market tips. These
remarks were bound by both a cri-
tical and hopeful theme.
End of an Era
"We're coming to the end of an
old era," Gutman remarked con-
cerning the present Eisenhower
administration. Although praising
our present economic teachers and
expressing hope for the future, he
Scoble, Keppel Discuss Education
William Scoble '57, and Francis
Keppel, Dean of the Harvard
School of Education, led a discus-
sion on Teaching as a Career Tues-
day evening in Griffin Hall. The
inquiry concerned the routine of
teaching and varioas problems of
American education.
Scoble opened the discussion by
describing his life as a teacher at
St. Paul's School. He found very
rigorous the chores of preparing
and teaching classes, appraising
students and assisting slow pupils.
However, he felt it was satisfy-
ing to observe a class in the pro-
cess of obtaining knowledge. Sco-
ble maintained a teacher should
have a definite interest in educa-
tion, especially in the subject in
which he is teaching.
Keppel
Keppel noted the public school
instructor has more leisure time
and is less Involved with disci-
pline than his prep school coun-
terpart. He is not allowed, how-
ever, to determine his methods and
•subject matter, while a private
school u.sually outlines his own
course.
Public education, upon which
government spends almost as much
money as on defense, is essentially
controlled by the local school
boards, Keppel said. It Is their
Interest and leadership which de-
Scoble . . . Keppel . . . Stockings
termines the quality of education
in the individual schools.
Although Keppel considers the
number of the boards to be far
too large, he believes they play an
important role in maintaining the
high level of interest in education
which the American people have.
Superior Students
When confronted with the ques-
tion of advanced Instruction for
superior students, Scoble outlined
the program at St. Paul's which
divides students into different sec-
tions of a course according to their
ability.
Keppel noted that special sec-
tions are difficult to achieve in
public scliools with their greater
size and limited faculties. He ob-
served, though, there is a pro-
nounced tendency to "push" su-
perior students and to give them
advanced courses.
Both Scoble and Keppel stated
that education courses are not an

cited the present U. S. economic
pace-setters as "narrow" and "on
the wrong track". Gutman's main
concern was centered in the cop-
ing with the ever-present Commu-
nist economic threat, posed by the
fulfillment of the rigorous five-
year plans.
Pinpointing the trouble, uutman
condemned the Eisenhower policy
of placing emphasis on arms ex-
penditure. In this respect he clas-
sified Eisenhower with that "very
dumb President" Herbert Hoover.
Advance Will Continue
He attributed the great boom
on Wall Street to the engendering
of new industry. He further pre-
dicted that the rapid advance will
continue. Yet despite this great
promise Gutman expressed the
need for governmental interfer-
ence in this field. Tlie reason for
this is the unconscious exclusion
of those who have not attained
wealth by investment by those who
have successfully done so.
In conclusion Gutman cited our
confronting a new vista, that of
Physics. In order to forge ahead
in our struggle with the Russians
and to secure our growing popula-
tion, he urged investment in in-
dustry have direct contact with
the science of Physics.
tem."
In its report, just published, the
Rushing Committee, headed by
Len Grey '59, .stated that the pi'e-
sent system, "without a change
may do as much to defeat the goal
of total opportunity as achieve it."
Stratification
The committee felt many judg-
ments about the "top" houses were
made during the freshman year,
and that consequently the sopho-
more rushee feels that these "best
houses" were the only ones right
for him.
To alleviate this evil inherent
in sophomore rushing, the commit-
tee advocated a "more sensible dis-
cus.sion during freshman year of
the stratification of houses which
might help rushees make more
sensible judgments."
Many sophomores who had made
these judgments, said the commit-
tee, used the system of depledging
to gain an invitation to join the
"best" houses. Many .sophomoi'es,
the committee believes, joined
houses without the intention of
remaining at those fraternities,
but in hopes of maneuvering to
be accepted later in one of the
"top" houses.
Dirty Rushing
The committee believes that dir-
ty rushing did exist in the formal
rushing period of 1958. Though
facts that would prove illegal
rushing were found, the committee
made no convictions primarily be-
cause it met the problem of inter-
preting what words and actions
actually constituted dirty rushing.
The committee stated tliat it
felt the "atmosphere of enforce-
ment" made obvious by the com-
mittee had served as a good deter-
rent to illegal rushing practices.
Secretaries
Grey's report raised no objec-
tions to the efficiency of the pro-
fessional secretaries employed by
tlie fraternities to handle tlie me-
chanics of the IBM machine this
year. "Resorting to outside lielp,"
he stated, however, "implies a .sad-

of modern commi'rcialisin. Exervbody has to
make a buck, and he does so, from obstetrician
to mortician; he shall continue to do so, despite
all our |)ieties. No, despite the fact of the ex-

Christmas has not become merelv an annual

become a yearly folk epic on a mamonth scale.
For when we think of (^hristinasses past, it
is the Santa Clauses, die presents, die outburst
of gait'ty, and the warmth of friendly people
together that we remember. It is a sudden, hap-
py time in the chill of winter. It is a time of
hope.
Christmas day celebrates the biidi of Christ,
the Son of Man. It celebrates the rebirth of hope
in a desolate world. Perhaps the theological sig-
nificances are far from our minds, but the up-
lift of energy and hope within ns is not.
Not a one of us is unaware of the desolate
status of our world. While we eat our Christmas
dinner, countless people are starving. While we

If we can do diis at all, we can keep doing
so. And our hope and confidence is not idle. Only

The RECORD has interviewed the directors of admission of
the University of Chicago Business School and Yale i,aw Sch,,,)!
who revealed what (iiialities they seek in applicants to their scIkidIs.'
"Almost every major business today was started by men mii!
sidered cranks," smiled Harold Metcalf, Dean and .\dmissi,,i,s
Director of the University of (Chicago Business School. Meii,i||
made this observation to iflustrate his belief that a stereotype husi-

can never tell who futuri' executives will be," he emphasized. "\K ,,
who rise to the highest |)ositioiis often have creative and l.nid
minds which run counter to accepted dogma."
Seek Speeifie {hialities
There are, however, s|)ecifie (|ualities which Metcalf consiil, i-
ed essential for admission to the Unixersity of Chicago Husii.. ss
School. "We're looking for jieople with brains and moti\ati(.n,"
he stated. The nni\ersitv does not care about a student's iin(i, r-
graduate acti\ities or leadershi|i. Crades are im|)ortaiit. The dii, e.
tor of admissions rcNcaled that the academic trend of a stiuh it's
college career is more important than an over-all graile-poini .n-.
erage. Caijable students often flounder in the ejirlv jiart of lli, i|-
undergiaduate careers and this is not held against them.
Admissions tests, Metcalf feels, are not reli;ible ;it pi-escni.
Letters of recommendation from a student's ))rofessors, liowcMr,
are influential. The University of Chicago Business School, whiili
is the cotmtrv's second oldest, has learned through experience lliat
a liberal arts background is superior training to business com .is
taught in large universities.
A strong liberal arts college such as Williams, Metcalf iioldl,
trains a student to think ;ibstr;ictlv. The admissions director wiiit
on to compare the similarity of objectives between Williams and
the business school; both teach students how to diiiik efh'cti\(lv
and meet problems. "Wi', too are an educational institution and
not a \'oeati{)nal school."
Yale Law School
Yale Law School Admissions Director John H. Tate considers
an applicant's academic record the most important factor in gam-
ing entrance to Yale. Extra-cnrricular acti\itii's are of minor im-
portance to Tate, but, he concedes, "We like to know that thev
ha\e been more than just grinds." Ajititnde tests and instrnetors'
recommendations are also eonsidert'd.
Personal iiiter\iews mc encouraged because thi'\' are mutuallv
beneficial. A student has the opportuiiit\' to ask cpiestions and Tate
can get the wins and wherelores ol a stiidi'iit s academic recoid.
Harelv is ;ui ajiplieant's personal impression a iactor. "Once,"
chuckled Mr. Tate, "a student came prepared with charts and
diagrams pro\ing that he should be admitted. I'^ortunatelv, he
wasn't (|nalified.
"Experience with Williams students has been good," he said.
There is no required legal training, but a good dose of Ilumanilirs
is helpful. Yale is the smallest law school of high reputation. ()\cr

Beats Trinity, 73-68
Fighting off a last minute rally

ba.sketball team won its second
game in three starts Wednesday.
73-68. Paced by captain Pete Will-
mott's 19 points and Sam W^'av-
ei's 20, the Ephmen held control
until the final three minutes.
Trinity outshot Williams from
the floor, 27-24 but 25 free throws,
ten by Weaver, gave the edge to
the visiting Ephmen. Four clutch
foul shots by guard Bob Parker
and a final jump shot by sopho-
more Don Brayton stifled a Trin-
ity bid late in the game.
Teamwork
Sharing the scoring honors with
Willmolt and Weaver was center
Jeff Morton, who tallied 11. Tak-

Both the hockey and basketball
teams are traveling to Invitation
tournaments this vacation. Tlie
basketball team will play in the
Springfield College Invitational
Basketball Tournament while the
hockey team will play in a tour-
nament at Cornell.
The Springfield tourney is sche-
duled for December 31 to January
3: the participating teams are Am-
herst, Harvard, Massachusetts,
Middlebury. Williams, New Hamp-
shire, A. I. C, and Springfield.
The tournament is the first of its
kind to be held at Springfield,
where the game of basketball or-
iginated G7 years ago.
Each team has an equal chance
to capture the title, and one of
the western Massachusetts teams
might well be in the finals on Sat-
urday night, Jan. 3. The Ephs'
first game in the tournament is
against Harvard.
After returning to Williams on
Dec. 28 to practice, the hockey
team will leave for Ithaca on the
31st. Teams from Colby, Bow-
doin, Williams, Hamilton, Cor-
nell, and probably Colgate are
scheduled to play in the tourney.
The first round will probably pair
ofi the New England teams against
the New York squads. Beginning
on Jan. 1, the tournament will
continue until Jan. 3, when the
finals will be held.
In a wild, free-scoring game last
Wednesday the Williams varsity
hockey team went down to defeat
before RPI by an 11-4 score.
Williams opened the scoring at
6:36 of the first period when cen-
ter Larry Hawkins took a pass
from 20 feet out. RPI, however,
quickly tied the score and then
forged into a 2-1 lead by tlie end
01 the period on goals by Urm.son
and Midghal.
Seven in the Second
The second period saw the game
really open up as RPI scored five
goals and Williams two. Jim Fisher
and Woody Burgert scored for the
Ephs in a period marked by fast
RPI offensives.
Siminski of the Engineers open-
ed the third period with a quick
score at 2:35. Eph defenseman
Tom Thorns quickly duplicated the
effort on a shot from the point.
After Groger tallied the ninth
Engineer goal at 12:00, a brief
scuffle broke out on the ice which
resulted in the dismis.sal of one
player on each team from the
game. A minute later, playing
with a man down, Midghal scored
twice within 15 seconds to make
it 11-4.
Sophomore goalie Al Lapey a-
gain sparked the defense with 59
saves. This brings his total to 90
in two games. The loss to RPI
Wednesday gives Williams a 1-2
record for the season so far.
Summary
First period scoring: Hawkins,
Urmson, Midghal

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1958
'62 Entry Reps
Formulate Plans
Piesent Freshman Council plans
include winter houseparty ar-
rangements, a questionnaire and
a two-dollar per-man tax.
Houseparty weekend measures
include the rental of 51 rooms in
the Williams Inn for freshman
dates, and an unusual "snovv-
your-date campaign", which will
probably consist of sending a
"snow package" to each prospec-
tive female visitor. The package
will be comprised of a charming,
salutatory message, a schedule of
weekend events and a map of the
College.
Questionnaire
The planned questionnaire will
seek freshman opinions of Wil-
liams life. Questions will be asked
about orientation, social life and
the curriculum, and the frosh will
be given a chance to express areas
of interest in which they would be
interested in working.
The two-dollar tax, due the week
after Christmas vacation, will be
collected by the entry representa-
tive to the council. The revenue
will be used to pay for windows
broken in a recent freshman quad
snowball fight and to begin a
class fund for general expendi-
tures.
VVasliing Machines
A proposal to install washing
machines in freshman dorms is
under half-hearted consideration.
Primary factors against the move
are the high cost of installation
and maintenance.
All plans are being co-ordinated
by the council executive committee
of President Phil Worth, Secre-
tary-Treasurer price Griyekuven,
CO representative Mike Keating
and Social Chairman Ash Crosby.

A new constellation has appear-
ed in the heavens of collegiate
singing groups. It is called the
"Purple Herd", consisting of ten
freshmen, and is at present pre-
paring "to offer the best enter-

Boyden and Bill Hyland, is build-
ing a repertoire ranging from

overdrawn at the bank.
The flicks were popular with
those who had successfully batted
out their papers or who wished to
escape from their friends.
The big news: VACATION IS
IMMINENT.
Side effects of the psychological
survey of the College indicated
that more and more people were
feeling that they were getting lit-
tle out of classes. They didn't sleep
too well either, they reported, al-
though there was little faith ex-
pressed in the Santa Claus doc-
trine proposed by St. Nicholas eons
ago.
Mountain Air
Fewer people this week were con-
vinced of the healthful effect of
Berkshire Mountain air. Most peo-
ple felt it was awfully cold. No-
body had any comment on the
Holiday Spirit question which im-
plies that the students were too
tired to think of developing a pro-
per attitude. Someone observed, "I
hate Christmas."
But tomorrow comes freedom
which leads to home, family,
friends, extra reading, oblivion of
problems and New Year Resolu-
tions.

III a rash of East co&st fires
i!iat claimed 19 lives, the Delta
i:appa Epsilon house at Williams
„as totally destroyed in a ra^inB
Maze early Tuesday morning. Six
.indents were sligiitly injured but
■ Illy one, Ernest Imhoff, a senior,
uas hospitalized. The rescue of
Imhoff from the roof of the burn-
iiit! house averted a major disas-
ter.
The fire, of undetermined ori-
j;in, was discovered just before five
m the morning by "Richard Will-
hite who, with Peter B. Tacy,
roused most of the members of
the fraternity. Apparently bCKin-
iiinB in the cellar, the fire swept
upstairs through the dumb waiter
ui the pantry and s.'ttled in the
third story. Winds up to 45 mph
whipped the blaze until it quickly
engulfed the wh.ole structure.
Rescue
Taken off the front portico soon
after the blaze erupted in the
third floor were Gerry Murphy
and Liou Terrell, both .seniors, a-
long with Paul Lazarus, a junior.
Twenty minutes later, Imhoff was
discovered yelling for help clingins
to a narrow, icy ledge on the
.southern extension of the roof cov-
ering the dining hall. A sufficient-
ly long ladder was not immedi-
ately available. Quick action was
taken by Fireman Gordon Noble
and Jim Richardson, a member
of neighboring Chi Psi, who with
other students held a ladder four
feet off the ground in order to
teach the stranded Imhoff.
Imhoff was hospitalized for
.sliock and exposure. He had en-
dured the sub-zero temperatures
and wind clad only in light, sum-
mer pajamas.

Fire Victims Aided By Merchants;
Faculty Re-Aligns Academic Load
Contrary to circulating re-
ports, Imhoff was aroused with
the three who were taken from
the front of the house but was
completely cut off from them
by a sudden blast of smoke from
the fire approaching in the
third floor stairwell. He then
had to retreat to his own room
in the back of the hou.se.
North Adams and Williamstown
luemen, including 23 volunteers,
liught the blaze for two and one
1 alf hours before it was declared
under control. The fire continued
to burn sporadically for the re-
niainder of the day.
Wind Increases Daneer
During the main part of the
fire there was imminent danger to
the two adjoining fraternities, Chi
Psi and Phi Delta Theta. Slate
foofs on both houses, however,
prevented damage. In the strong
Northwest breeze, nevertheless,
sparks were carried to the shingle
roof of the Old Faculty Club
building and ignited several sec-
tions. The damage was slight.
See Page 4, Col. 3
Rapid action on the part of fel-
low students and townspeople eas-
ed the problems of the men burn-
ed out of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
house early Tuesday morning.
The college's Social Council met
at 10 a.m. and the sixteen home-
less juniors and seniors were as
signed temporary accommodations
in other houses. Innumerable of-
fers of assistance in the form of
room and clothing were immedi-
ately received by the dispo.ssessed
members from townspeople and
students.
Completely bereft of their clotli-
ing and po,s.se.ssions for the most
part, the men were given temp-
orary clothing by neighboring
houses. The House of Walsh and
the Co-op offered re-clothing dis-
counts and the bookstores made
similar replacement discounts for
texts.
Currently the members of the
fraternity are eating together in
Baxter Hall and will continue to
do so for the rest of the semester.
Though the members are now liv-
ing in other fraternities they are
undertaking a search for a temp-
orary location in order to main-
tain house unity. The Deke tele-
phone number - 33 - has been

Amherst Professor Evaluates Eliot's Poetry;
C. L. Barber Opens Chapin Library Display
Amherst professor C. L. Barber
addressed a large Chapin Library
gathering on the topic "T. S. Eli-
ot's 'Impersonal' Poetry Reconsid-
ered',' Wednesday night. Professor
Barber's .speech opened the Cha-
pin Library exhibition of Eliot i-
tems cominemoratnig his 70th
birthday.
Taking the point of view that
Eliot, in his poetry from "Geroni-
tion" through "The Family Reun-
ion", was picturing the "Person-
less" man, the man seeking to find
hi.s personality. Barber said that
Eliot's "business has always been
to explore the nature of reality."
Barber remarked on the power of
growth evidenced by a study of the
writings of Eliot. The theories pro-
duced in the early Tw-enties are
vastly different from those enun-
ciated in the late Forties and ear-
ly Fifties.
In 1919. Barber noted. Eliot said
that the "poem is irreducibly sep-
arate from its writer." The per-
sonality of the poet is separate
from his creation. Barber stated
Eliot Exhibit
Over sixty items related to
the literary works of T. S. Eli-
ot went on display in the Cha-
pin Library Wednesday, in lion-
or of the Nobel prizewinning
poet's 70th birthday.
All of the items, including
collections of his plays, poems,
and literary criticism came from
the collection of Hugh M. Mac-
Mullan '28. of Williamsport. Pa.
His private collection includes
over 220 Eliot items.
The exhibition includes the
rare 1917 edition of "Prufrock".
Eliot's first published work, and
the first edition of "Waste-
land", along with a personal let-
ter from the author about Its
publication.

$25,000 were not covered by the
house policy.
Alumni Treasurer John Winant.
a Sprague Electric Co. executive,
and Albert I. Ris of Springfield,
an alumni trustee, met with the
New York agent William Hintze.
The meeting which resulted in the
declaration of the building as a
total loss was held in the local
office of Elton Perry.
Personal Losses
All but three of the 16 Dekes who
lost belongings in the fire will
receive complete or partial com-
pensation under policies carried
by their parents. Dean of the Col-
lege Robert R. R. Brooks announc-
ed Tuesday that a fund of $1,000
was available for emergency use
by financially needy fire victims.
The fund was left from a drive to
relieve students stricken in the
1951 West College fire.
Future Plans
Winant, in consultation with A-
lumni President Daniel K. Chap-
man, tentatively announced a
meeting of the Alumni Trustees
of the chapter and student repre-
sentatives next week to plan the
designing of a completely new
chapter house to be begun early
this spring.
Charles A. Foehl. Jr., College
Treasurer and a trustee of
the Williamstown Congregational
Church, made it known Wednes-
day morning that a meeting of the
Church fathers was agreeable to

church. The congregation will vote
on the matter within a week.
DKE Tragedy Topped
Only By West College
The DEKE house fire Tuesday
mcrning is the third such blaze
in that fraternity house's 100 year
history.
A small blaze swept the upper
floors in 1913. In 1920 a fire gut-
ted the bottom floor for $30,000
worth of damage. The only other
fraternity house to burn on cam-
pus was Saint Anthony Hall in
l'J27.
The DEKE fire was the second
worst in the College's history. The
1951 fire of West College is ack-
nowledged to be the worst.
iviorgan Hall was gutted by
flames in 1904, and only quick ac-
tion by the Gale Hose Company
saved it from the same fate in
September of this year. Jesup Hall
burn2d twice, once in 1918 for
$25,000 worth of damage, and once
in 1937 for a total of $30,000 in
damages.
went too far, that in
a highly personal cri-
that Eliot
expressing
sis, Eliot became the articulation
of a general crisis. In the Quartets
"Eliot came to be able to speak
in his own person. He found a
personality he could express in
poetry."
His Plays
The late plays represent another
stage in his development. Accord-
ing to Barber, they are "astonish-
ing examples of selflessness. One
can feel with them i the charac-
ters)." There is some of Eliot in
the character, but Eliot has learn-
ed how to meet the "other de-
mands" of dramatization — imbu-
ing a character with elements not
to be found in the author's per-
sonality.
The plays and poems of the
"psrsonless" period picture char-
acters speaking to an audience,
driven, desperate. In "The Waste-
land", notable as an epic without
a hero, the author tries many
voices and expresses the predica-
ment of "not having a person."

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1959
Hockey Team Breaks
Even In Tournament
In competition over tlit' holidays,
tiic varsity hockey team ran up u
11-1 record at tlie Cornell Invi-
iiiiional Hockey Tournament held
.liiiuary 1-3. In the opening game
Williams thumped Bowdoin 10-1,
tlun battled Cjlby to a 4-4 tie. In
the final game on Saturday fatigue
;iii(l sickness which forced five
players to the sidelines for the en-
ure game resulted in a 4-1 lo.ss to
New Hampshire. Defen.seman and
Ciptain Tom Piper and Koalie Al
I.apey were both honored by .selec-
i.iin to the all-tournament team.
Ii,)b Lowden and Laurie Hawkins
\.('rs named to the s.cond team.
Against Bowdoin tlie team click-
rd smoothly and never gave the
I'olar Bears a chance. George Lowe
was the scoring ace with a goal in
each period for the hat trick, while
Hob Lowden collected six points
(in one goal and five assists,
Friday night Williams met Col-
li.v in what turned oul to be the
I up game of the tournament. A-
liead 4-3 with 14 seconds left in
;he game the pui'ple had to .settle
lor a 4-4 deadlock after a lu min-
ute scoreless overtime. Colby was
:i heavy favorite going into the
contest on the strength of a 3-2
overtime loss to Harvard. The
Mules drew first blood after only
,(7 seconds on a scrrened shot from
defensemau Greg MacArthur, but
Williams evened it up on Piper's
slap shot from the blue line at
7:29. Colby outshot Williams 10-5
in the period but Al Lapey playing
a magnificent game was air tight
after the first minute.
After Colby jumped ahead 3-1
in the second period Williams
came out in the third period and
put on a great display of fore-
checking and hustle to produce
tliree Eph goals. With Williams
leading 4-3 at 19:46 just fourteen
seconds from the end. Dun Coic,
Colby captain picked up the puc;
to the right of the Williams cage
and hit the mark from about 30
feet on a low screen shot to tie
the score. Ten minutes of sudden
death overtime failed to produce
a decision and the game remained
in the 4-4 deadlock.
Friday's game with New Hamp-
shire was an anti-climax. Witlr five
men gripped by sickness Williams
couldn't play ui) to capacity and
lost 4-1. Grant scored the only
Williams goal at 4:29 of the first
period.
The Purple effort in the three
games gained them unofficial
third place in the tournament be-
liind Colby and Hamilton and a-
head of Bowdoin, Cornell and New
Hampshire.
Basketball Squad
Finishes Second
Captain Pete Willmott and high
scoring Jeff Morton led Coach Al
Shaw's varsity basketball team to
a strong second place finish in the
Springfield Invitation Tournament
over Christmas Vacation.
Williams polished off Harvard
and Massachusetts before losing
to Springfield in the final game.
Morton's three game average of
20.6 provided the scoring puncli
foi the Eph attack. Sam Weaver
and Willmott provided 15.3 and
13.3 points a game respectively.
In the first game of the compe-
tition. Williams handed Harvard
ai; 83-07 drubbing to avenge cheir
loss to the crimson in the first
game of the season. Morton tal-
lied 22 points followed closely by
Willmott's 20.
The semi-final bracket pitted
UMass against Williams. UMass
had easily taken Middlebury in the
first round but lost to the Eph-
men 76-65. Williams jumped to an
early lead and held a halftime
edge, 37-23. UMass rallied in the
second half to cut the lead down
to 8 but the sharp shooting of
Morton, Weaver and Boynton put
the Ephs well in front in the last
quarter.
Morton again led the scoring
with 21 points followed by Weaver
and Willmott with twelve apiece.

Amherst's New PolicylCareer Weekend Agenda Features
Will Furlough Loaf ers Mock Job Interview, Alum Panels
By Bob Pyle
Amherst College recently an-
nounced a new regulation bound
to influence tliinltinM in education-
al crclcs across the nation.
A student receiving C's whose
I. Q. tests indicate that he should
be attaining A's or B's will be ask-
ed to leave for one year. He may
return at the end of the year pro-
vided he can show he has spent
the year profitably in an educa-
tional manner. Amherst believes
that loafers may thus be elimin-
ated and given time to ponder
the primary purpose of college ed-
ucation. In the meantime, more
deserving students may be admit-
ted. '
Plan Nebulous
According to one Amherst stu-
dent, however, the plan, an articu-
lation of a general school policy, is
nebulous. Wnin Pr^sident Cole an-
nounced the new regulation, no

Houseparty Show
Despite rumors to the contrary,
the Sophomore Council has prom-
ised that Winter Carnival will be
lield entirely indoors. The Coun-
cil has arranged for a small, snow-
bound college in northern New
Hampshire to take over the both-
ersome ski events that have mar-
red the comfort of previous win-
ter weekends.
Coming the weekend of Febru-
ary 7, early in the second semes-

Dean Robert Brooks of Williams
commented, "Although there is a

of furlouKhing students who are
not doing their best, it is a very
difficult policy to administer. It
is hard to know what a student's

DKE's Plan To Move
To Vacant Parsonage
Pending approval by the mem-
bers of the Williamstown Congre-
gational Church, the DKE frater-
nity will occupy the vacant par-
sonage behind the church. If the
plan is approved at a church meet-
ing on January 16, the college will
rent the building from the church,
and the Dekes will rent it from
the college.
Daniel K. Chapman '26, presi-
dent of the DKE alumni, was in
Williamstown last weekend to
make arrangements for the temp-
orary housing of the 16 displaced
DKE's and for an investigation of
the burned shell of the old build-
ing by the contractor. Thirteen of
the displaced members are tenta-
tively planning to live in the par-
sonage. The Dekes will eat in the
faculty dining room of Baxter Hall
for the remainder of the year.
A full report by tiie Dike Housa
Committee will be released eariy
in February. It will describe the
extent and circumstances of Uie
fire for alumni and parents. There
will be a meeting of the DKE trus-
tees this week ir. Williamstown co
make plans for the construction
of a new house.
Since the parsonage can be
rented only on the condition that
there will be no organized parties
there, the Alumni Society has of-
fered the Alumni House for oc-
casional planned parties. The
Deke-Psi U dance will be held
there on Saturday of Winter
Houseparties.
Fraternities Re-examine
Fire Safety Programs
DKE AFTERMATH
hopes to profit
By Kemp Randolph
Hoping to profit In the after-
math of the DKE house fire last
week, several fire extinguisher and
fire alarm system salesmen have
come to Williamstown in the last
few days. The majority of the
fraternities are reviewing their fire
prevention and protection systems
at the present time.
Unlike the college buildings,
most of the houses are not subject
to the state building laws on fire
protection. State laws involve only
those buildings which have eight
or more rooms or ten or more oc-
cupants on the third floor or a-
bove.
State Fire Inspector D. C. Milne
of the Department of Public Safe-
ty in Pittsfield reported that only
two or three houses fulfilled this
requirement at the last inspection.
He stated that a re-evaluation of
this situation would be made in
the near future.
Graduate Chairmen
Although the state law does not
affect them and the college au-
thorities have no jurisdiction, the
fraternities all have fire protec-
tion systems of one sort or an-
other. The Graduate Chairmen of
the Social Units, composed of rep-
resentatives from the alumni trus-
tees of each house, have paid con-
siderable attention to this prob-
lem. The reduction of fire insur-
ance premiums has also been an
incentive in this direction.
Since most have wooden frames,
the houses are not of fire-proof
construction, as many of the col-
lege buildings are. Nearly all have
one large un-enclosed staii-well,
which would serve to fan any blaze
that might occur.

Piper Says Man
Should Find Self
"If you wish to know and un-
derstand your neighbor, you must
first know yourself." Anson C. Pi-
per, Assistant Professor of Roman-
ic Languages at Williams, chose
this as the topic for his sermon
Sunday in the last chapel servics
of the semester.
He defined the "self" as "per-
sonality in its deepest sense, that
which gives man identity and im-
mortality." In this day of the ac-
cepted Kods of "togetherness" and
"group dynamics", he .said, we need
from time to time to see what we
ours.;lves think.
We are pledged as students to
discover ourselves, he continued.
Through self-knowledge we will see
ourselves in a true perspective and
thereby gain humility.
"Being true to ourselves," he
concluded, "will enable us to un-
derstand the injunction of the
scriptures, 'Thou shalt love thy
nsighbor as thyself,' on which the
future of the world depends."
of the staff of MIT's School of In-
dustrial Management, will open
the Friday night forum in the
Rathskeller. Following Clark's
talk, Dudley Darling, personnel di-
rector of Time Inc., will direct a
mock job interview. Assisting him
will be Cwynne A. Prosser, per-
sonnel director of Young and Ru-
bicam. Inc., and Robert J. Can-
ning, consultant on education re-
lations and recruiting for General
Electric. The three students to be
interviewed have not been selected.
Saturday Panels
On Saturday morning and af-
ternoon a series of panels on vari-
ous professions and graduate
schools will be held. The panel
topics have been selected by the
Student Committee on Career
■Weekend, headed by Bill Tuach
'59, on the basis of the question-
naire distributed in the fall.

Supervising the entire weekend
is Director of Placement Manton
Copeland, Jr. '39. "I am delighted
with the response we have had
from our alumni who have been
asked to participate as panelists
for Career Weekend," Copeland
stated. "It is a very outstanding
group of people and the entire
program promises to be the best
we have ever put on." 48 of the 50
panelists this year are Williams
graduates.
Hula Hooping Penguin
Plagues Snow Artists
The small, grey cloud which
traditionally hangs over Williams-
town will have to produce some
snow before work can begin on
the Winter Carnival snow sculp-
ture in front of Chapin Hall. At
present only a rather stark tele-
phone pole stands there.
A commission, composed of
Whitney S. Stoddard, Lee J. Hir-
sche. and William G. Grant chose
the design of sophomores Gordon
Grey and Bill Ryan for construc-
tion. The sculpture itself will be
a gigantic penguin manipulating
a hula hoop. The designers de-
clined to issue a statement on the
engineering details of the hqp^,,
claiming it "an insignificant prob-
lem."
The traditional keg will go to
the winning fraternity snow sculp-
ture.
Copeland, Pelham
Concluding Visits
The formal interviewing at high
schools and preparatory schools
carried on by Messrs. Frederick
Copeland and Peter Pelham of the
Admissions Office will conclude
during the first week in February.
Starting in the early Fall both
men have managed to visit a total
of 126 secondary schools through-
out the country to interview Wil-
liams applicants. The number will
increase to approximately 160 be-
fore the end of February.
Western States
Pelham stated that personal In-
terviews at the college are run-
ning ahead of last year. Contact
has been made with prospective
Freshmen not only in the eastern
half of the country but also in
California, Oregon, Indiana, Wash-
ington and other Western states.
Last year the most extensive
tour made by Mr. Copeland cover-

Fire Prevention
The fire which destroyed the DKE House
la.st week has led to discussion and thought a-
hout the fire-|)revention measures in effect in
other fraternities on cain|)us.
A H1£CX)RD report (sec |)age 1) has indi-
cated that Williams fraternities are not yery fire-
proof. I5uilt to house far fewer |>eo|)le than li\c
in them now, these houses are |)lagiied hy oycr-
worked electrical systems and inade(|uate escape
arrangements. Many lia\e open stairwells, which
make the host flues for s|)reading flaiues.
A column appearing on this j^age written hy
a regular RECORD contributor, who was oiu' of
those who escaped from the burning DKI"] house,
puts forward jiroposals to make fraterintv houses
safer. If anything is to be gained from the near-
tragic DKE fire, fraternity presidents should
cousiiler them carefully.
Mr. 'I'aey has omittetl, howe\er, one way by
which wi' belie\e disastrous fires could be er-
fecti\cly prevented. The fifteen Williams frater-
nities should |)()oI resources to hire a watchman
to go from housi' to house during the night. Time
clocks for him to punch could be installed in ey-
erv basement, lie would he at each housi' eyery
15 minutes. The cost per fraternity would be
nominal and would be easih' covered by reduc-
tions in insurance |iri'miums, tor insurance sta-
tisticians haye found firewatch to be the most
efteetivt' means of fire pre\eiitioii. .\nd no in-
vasion of fraternity self-goyernmerit would occur,
for the houses themselves would do the hiring.
We strongly recommend that the Social
(Council give this matter immediate attention. It
could mean the pieventioii of real tragedy.
Everybody's Porridge: X
FIRE
For si.xteen of us, death was appallingly close
last Tuesday morning.
The great variety of "factual" accounts of
the fire that you have seen were at least bizarre
in their inaccuracies and distortions. At least one
thing must be pointed out, however; the stories
of inoperative fire apparatus are nearly totally
falsi'. The Deke liotisc was e((nipped with more
than the legal rei|niremeiits in tiri' escajies and
escape ladelers, extinguishers, alternate exits and
(he like. One chain ladder |)royed to he inoper-
ative; otherwise, we were as well e(|ui|)ped as
.my of the other fourteen houses, most of which,
l)v ilie way, are likely to be as readily combusti-
ble as was the Deke House.
Then what ha|)pened?
The graphic revelation of the inadecpiacy of
the legal limit in fire ap|)aratus; revelation of the
NEED for LMMEDIATE INSPECTION OF
EXI.STINC FIRE EQUIPMENT, AND ADDl-
TIO.XS TO IT.
I am not writing any political polemic. I
am trying to save lives.
Ill addition to ins]5ecti()n, 1 recommend:
1) A maiuial-aud-heat o))erated fire alarm
system in every house. It was miraculous that
vyaruing coukl be spread in the heat, flames and
sidfocatiiig smoke of the Deke House. An alarm
system would have eliminated the despeiate last-
minute looitop lescues.
2) Steel fire ladders in every upstairs room.
Because of the smoke in halls and adjoining
rooms, many of us could not get to seemingly
close fire cscaj^es.
3) .\ddition of fire doors between floors,
and especially at the fmiiace room. This might
have at least retarded the lightning spread of
the DKE lire.
4) Installation of sprinkler systems in \)n\)-
lic rooms, hallways and stairwells. Perhajis this
would not have jireyented DKE's fire; at least it
would have slowed it.
.5) A eollege-recpiisite fire-drill.
6) From my own despair— losing everything
I owned— and the added despair of those who
had no insurance on their possessions— incpiiry by
every student to ;isci'rtain that his lamily fire in-
smanee policy covers bis belongings at Williams.
\ numher of jiolicies can be obtained to cover
this.
For once, DO SOMETHINC ABOUT THIS!

very well be your own.

AND
PUNISHMENT
It is
On H gloomy evening in July 19-, in the t'jvvn of
P-, bystanders were amused to see an impoverished
student named Rasnalikov enter the tavern of
Fydor Fydorivitch in L. Street and demand a beer
can opener. They smiled because they knew he had
no cans of any sort to open, and also becau.se Fydor
had not kept a tavern in L. Street for some years.
Inside, a police in.spector named Ufa Ilfanoya told
him the place was now a precinct station. "But . . .
how can . . . that be?" Ra.snalikov gasped, pointing
at a S r* beer sign that read "Your kind of beer
—real beer!"
"Ah, that I retain for my own pleasure," Ufa .said.
"Although of late I .study it for .some clue to the
recent theft of a case of S r from a delivery truck
in the Province of T-. Your home province, is it not?"
"y...e... s," Rasnalikov said. "Can ... ho know. . . ?"
he thought. He glanced, trembling, at the small
black cloud hovering inches above his head. "Why
did I bring that? ... He is sure to notice it .
just .such trifles that ruin everything . . ."
"For the sake of ab.surd ar-
gument," Ufa said, "and
also because I have five hun-
dred kopecks bet on it, let
us .say you are guilty. Would
your motive be thirst? Ava-
rice? The smooth S r
flavor experts call round?"
"I . . . don't . . . drink beer," Rasnalikov mumbled,
aching to cry out, to die, to give Ufa a punch in the
j-."Forgive me!" cried Ufa. "I must not detain you
further, then, in your search for a beer can opener!
You might try N- in the village of F~."
Ra.snalikov turned to go, but he could not. "Why,
what is it?" asked Ufa. "You are grown even paler."
"It was I who took the case of S r from the deliv-
ery truck in the Province of T-," Rasnalikov sobbed
softly. Ufa Ilfanoya rolled his eyes. People sur-
rounded them. Rasnalikov repeated the dark words.

1958 was the first year in which
the students challenged the au-
thority of the four-year-old Col-
lege Council. The CC met and re-
grouped under the pressure of the
test and came through a strong
and more cognizant student gov-
ernment.
It was the year of Kleinism —
the administration in which some-
body besides the members began to
take an interest in College Coun-
cil affairs, the most notable of
whom was Raymond Klein '59.
Council President John W. Hy-
land, Jr. stated upon his election
late in February his belief "that
the Council members have been
elected to promote what they feel
is right, both in the best interests
of the student body and in the
interest of the College."
Financiers
At the outset of this session, the
members had been saddled with
the task of setting up and admin-
istsring a comprehensive plan for
extra-curricular finance formerly
controlled by the Student Activi-
ties Council I the treasurers of all
campus organizations.) Under
Palmer H. White '59, and Thomas
R. Piper '59, the Council Commit-
tee on Finance i CCF) became an
efficient budgetary committee. At
\ the same time White and Piper
dealt with the chronic financial
embarrassment of the Gulielmen-
sian yearbook and established a
central billing agency for all de-
pendent organizations in the
Treasurer's office.
The Gul for '58 was subsidized
by the CCF and subsequently a
controversial College referendum
CC's HYLAND and HASSLER
came througrh stronger
approved the action of the Coun-
cil in giving each student a year-
book for $6 on a permanent ba-

the big contioversy. Klein wrote a
letter to the RECORD recom-
mending a return to the Under-
graduate Council of fraternity

ished in 1954 and replaced by the
College Council. Thirteen frater-
nity presidents co-signed the let-
ter which appeared Oct. 20.
Gargoyle President Leonard
Grey '59, had stated upon his elec-
tion as class president that "...
there may be a call for a change
to which we ithe Council) will
have to respond." Hyland appoint-

ommend "ways to make the Coun-

of student government that will

non-affiliates completed a peti-
tion for referendum on the year-

quently it was approved as a ba-
sis for discussion by the Rorke
Committee.
H. Jeremy Packard, president of
Kappa Alpha, represented the view
of the Klein letter in a discussion
following the approval of the Gjl
tax at which Keith Griffin, sec-
retary of the Council defended lis
position and Castle explained the
pcssibilities of his compromise.
Tlie Castle Plan was designed
to be a jumping off point for dis-
cussion of student government
changes but in the heat of the
controversy, it became a definitive
end in itself. The Social Council,
to which the plan gave more power
through joint CC-SC legislation
approved it 9-3 and the CC de-
feated the compromise 9-4.
Out of the flames, a definite at-
titude emerged. AUan Martin '60,
introduced a policy decision under
which the Social Council will
henceforth be used as a sounding
board for opinion of the students
in tax legislation and other "im-
portant" CC decisions. The CC
Constitution was amended by the
students Dec. 16 so that the ab-
stention may not be used as a
weapon by those wishing to de-
feat a referendum.
Call for Wisdom
A small minority of this Coun-
cil were experienced in the ways
of student governments at their
inauguration. All officers, includ-
ing Hyland, Vice-president D.
Mackay Ha.s.sler '59, Secretary
Keith Griffin '60, and Treasurer
Palmer White had never sat on
the CC before. Possibly the bigge.st
practical lesson to be learned from
the experiences of Hyland's ad-
ministration is that future Coun-
cils must try to apprehend the
ideas of their predecessors rather
than starting with a clean slate
and repeating the discussions and
decisions of the past.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 14, 1959
Frosh Hoopsters
Take First Loss
With the aid of four clutch
points by Bob Mahland in the
closing seconds of regular play,
the Williams Freshman basketball
team tied Dartmouth, 49-49 only
to drop the game in the overtime
period 64-57.
Williams held a 30-24 halftime
lead over the visiting Dartmouth
squad. The Eph first half attack
was led by forward Dave Ritchie
who n3tted 10 points.
As the second half opened,
Dartmouth found its mark and
led 41-37 with ten minutes remain-
ing.
Overtime
With two minutes still to play,
Kirby Allen tallied three points to
knot the score at 45-45. The Big
Green recaptured the lead but
Mahland sunk two jump shots, the
final one with 33 seconds remain-
ing, to send the game into an
overtime period.
Ben Strauch and Tom Gold-
stein picked up 13 points between
them to seal the contest up.
Mahland was the Eph's high
scorer with 20 points.

Squash Team Routs
MlT 8-1; Five Ephs
Blank Opponents 3-0
Varsity squash notched its sec-
ond win in as many starts by
rolling over MIT Saturday, 8-1,
in Cambridge. As in the Ti'inity
match the week before, five Eph-
men captured their matches by
shutouts.
It was the same story for Pe o
Beckwith, Bill Miller, Bruce Bri-
an, and Chuck Smith who used
their greater experience to advan-
tage.
Courts DJff calt
The Ephmen overcame the dis-
advantages of the MIT courts in
order to post their victory. Th:
front walls were unusually fast as
opposed to the slower back sides
which made corner shots difficult
for the Williams squad.
Many nationalities made up the
Engineers team which included
two Egyptians, an Englishman and
a Cuban. Greg Tobin's opponent,
Farid Saad from Alexandria, E-
gypt, put up the stiffest competi-
tion of the afternoon.
Summaries:
Tobin (W) over Saad, 3-0
Fleischman (W) over Karman, 3-2
Beckwith (W) over Clive, 3-0
Buck (W) over Klapper, 3-2

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Dave Karlen discusses the training oj new operators with one of his Chief Operators.
Still under 30...and he
supervises 400 people
In the telephone company men with
ability move along quickly into impor-
tant supervisory positions. Take the case
of David C. Karlen, for example.
Dave was hired by the New York Tele-
phone Company right after graduation
in June, 1954. For seven months he re-
ceived rotational training to familiarize
him with the various departments of the
company. Then Uncle Sam l)orrowed
him for 25 months.
He returned in February, 1957, and
completed his training. In June, he was
made TrafTic Su|)eriiitpndoiit of some
small telephone exchanges outside Utira.
He gained valuable experience in han-
dling people, planning work loads, and
many other supervisory duties.
In June, 1958, Dave moved to Platts-
burg — also as Traffic Superintendent,
but with far greater responsibilities.
Here, he is directly responsible for seven
tele|)hone offices over 4000 square miles.
Fourteen management people and 400
operators are under his supervision.
"A campus interview started me on
my telephone career," says Dave. "The
opportunities with the telephone com-
pany sounded terrific — and they have
been. What's more, you get excellent
training to prepare you for new job
assignments."

centages. The Ephmen collected
29 field goals to the Mules' 25 to
give them the final edge. Colby
held a 29-27 advantage from the
foul line.
Senior Bill Hedeman took over
in the forward position early in
the game and provided Coach Al
Shaw with vital rebounding. He
also collected 19 points, eleven of

Norwich Tops Williams
5-3 In Hockey Battle
Till' Norwitli liockcy team exploded
|)ciiod Saturday iiij^lit to liaiid the \
(he season, 5-3. In a f^aine plaved on tlu
i:ept Williams under constant
i)iessure, forcing soalie Al Lapey
10 come up with 47 saves.
Williams hit first in the openiiiK
period as Larry Hawkins moved
I lie lentjlli of the ice, drove b;'-
iiiiid the Norwich defense and
drilled the puck between the post
.md the Boalie's pads at 7:02. Nor-
ivick peppered Lapey throughout
I lie period and at 15:03, Don Mac-
Ir.nis hit the uppei- lefchand cor-
ner of the net to tie it up.
Great work by Lapey in the
iecond period held Norwich .scora-
I ss despite constant assaults on
ilie Williams net. Jim Fisher save
Williams the advantage at 6:15 of
I lie period as he circled the net
to his right and tapped in the puck
off the goalie's skate.
The roof fell in on Williams in
(he third period as Norwich racked
up four goals. The first came at
9:45 followed by three more just
two minutes apart at 16:15, 17:15
and 18:15. George Lowe moved
the Purple one goal closer at 19:50
as he knocked in a rebound from
a shot by Tom Piper. With just 10
s:conds remaining the score was
5-3.
Williams received a real blow
:iiidway through the third period
when Bcb Lowden .suffered a pos-
-, ble dislocation of his left shoul-
d r and was forced to leave the
ga.r.e. Lowden will probably not be
available for action until after the
exam break.

NCAA-AFCA Meets;
Slates 3 Rule Shifts
Cincinatti, Oliio was the site for
the 1959 joint meeting of the
NCAA and American Football
Coaches Association held January
7-11. Representing Williams were
Mes.srs. Len Watters, Prank Na-
varro, Pete DeLlsser and Bill
McHenry.
The most publicized business at
the conference was the recommen-
dations made by the votes of the
2230 coaches present to the 1959
Rules Committee which will con-
vene shortly in California.
Three changes loom as possi-
bilities for the 1959 season. They
are 1) placement of the goalpost
cross-bar on the goal line; 2) ab-
olition of "one-arm" blocking rule;
and 3) freer substitution. The con-
vention voted to retain the "1-2-
3" point after touchdown rule.
Watters stated

In Vermont Rout
Bill Beadie. with a three goal

hockey team to a 7-0 decision over
Vermont Academy last Thursday
ill their second road game of the
.season. Steve Usher netted two
goals while Frank Ward and Pete
Marlowe took one each in course
of the rout. Only some clutch saves
by the Vermont goalie prevented
the score from hitting double fig-
ures.
After meeting Choate January
13, the freshmen have a break un-
til the fifth of February when they
travel to Deerfield. Coach McCor-
mick feels that the two wins this
season point toward a winning
.season. The only problem seems
to be a lack of depth. The team
still has its toughest games ahead,
with contests against Choate, Taf t,

Representing Williams College
at the game was Chip Ide '59, who
gained 28 yards rushing in six at-
tempts. The minor colleges lost
the game by a very slight margin,
as the referees ruled that their
fourth down attempt failed an
inch short of the goal.
This is the first year that this
bowl has been presented and the
first time that a team composed
entirely of Little All-American
choices has played a team selected
from the larger colleges.

THE DATING SEASON
I liave recently returned from :i tour of ii.lO.OdI) .Ariicrican col-
leges where I made a survey of uiidcrgradiiatt^ (lilting customs
and sold Zorro wliips. I liave tabulated my findings and I ain
now prepared to tell you the simple se(trel of successful dating.
The simple secret is simply this: .V diite is successful wlieu
the iiiuii knows how to treat tlic' girl.
''/S^
a'S^^'x^
And how does a girl like to lie treated? If you want to know,
read and reiiieniber these lour c:irdiiial rules of dating:
1. A girl likes to be Iniilnl irilh renixrt.
When you call for your girl, do not drive up in frniit of tlie
sorority liou.'^e iuid yell, "I ley, l':it lady!" (!et out of your car.
Walk respectfully to tlie door. Knock rospectfully. Wlieii your
girl comes out, tug your forelock and say respectfully, "(iood
evening, Your Honor." Tlieii olTer her a Marllioro, for what
greater respect can you show yiair girl than to offer Marlboro
with its "ieller makiti's," fine flavor and new improved filter':* It
will indicate immediately that you respect her taste, respect her
discernment, respect her intelligence. So, good Ijiuklies, before
going out on a date, always remember to buy some Marlboros,
now available in soft pack or llip-top box at your friendly
vending inachine.
S. A girl likes a good li^iliiur.
Do not monopolize the convcrsiiticin. I.ct her talk while you
listen attentively. Make sure, however, that she herseli is not
a good listener. I recollect a dale I Imd oner' with a coed named
(jreensleeves Sigafoos, a lov(>ly girl, but unl'iirtunately a listener,
not a talker. I too was a listener .so we just sal all night long,
each with liis hand cupped over his ear, straining lo cateli a
word, not talking hour after hour until finally :i policeman
came by and arrested us botli for viigrancy. I did a yeiir and a
day. She got by with a suspended sentence because she was
the sole support of her aged liouscmotber.
S. A girl likes In he token lo iiiee places.
Ry "nice" places I do not mean expensive places. A girl does
not demand luxury. .All she asks is a place that is pleasant and
gracious. The Tomb of the I'liknown Soldier, for example. Or
Mount IJushmore. OrtlicTaj Mahal. ( )r tlie Hureaii of Weights
and Measures. Find places like these to bike your girl, lu'no
circiuiistances must you take her to an oil-cracking plant.
4- A girl likes a man to he leell-iiifiiniied,
Come jircjiared with a few interesting facts that you can
drop casually into the conversation. Like Ihis; "Did y(ni know,
Snookicpuss, that when cattle, slice]), camels, giiats, antelojies,
and other meniliers of the cud-cliewing family get up, they
always gel up hind legs first'.'" t)r this: ".\ri' you iiware,
Hotlips, that corn grows faster at night''" Or this: "My the
wav, Loverliead, Oslo did not become the capital of Norwjiy
till' .Inly 11, li)'24."
If you can slip enough of these nuggets into the conversation
before dinner, your dale will grow too torpid to eat. Some men
save up to a half-inillion dollars a year this way.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14. 1959
A program of supreme importance
to anybody who ever buys classical records
"Jkc UiGTL Victor sSociet^
of^reat EMusic
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE
Book-of-the-Month Club
... its common-sense purpose is to help serious lovers
of music build a fine record library systematically instead
of haphazardly . . . under reliable guidance . . . and at an
IMMENSE SAVING over what they would otherwise pay
for the very same rca Victor Red Seal Records
MOST MUSIC LOVERS, in the back of their minds, certainly intend to
build up for themselves a representative record library of the
World's Great Music. Unfortunately, almost always they are hap-
hazard in carrying out this aspiration. The new Society is designed to
meet this common situation, sensibly, by making collection more sys-
tematic than it now is in most cases.
>)c Because of more sysKemaWc collection, operating costs can be greatly
reduced. The remarkable Introductory Offer at the right is a dramatic
demonstration. It can represent a saving of up to more than 40% the
first year.
"jt Thereafter, continuing members can build their record libraries at
almosi a one-third saving. For every two records purchased (from a
group of at least fifty made available annually by the Society) iiiciMl't'r.';
m\\ receive a third rca Victor Red Seal Heconi jree.
5|c A cardinal feature of the plan is guidance. The Society has a Selec-
tion Panel whose sole function is to recommend "must-have" works
for members. Members of the panel are: deems TAYlOR, composer and
commentator. Chairman; SAMUEL CHOTZINOFF, General Music Director,
NBC; JACQUES BARZUN, author and music critic; JOHN M. CONLY, editor
of Jligh Jidelityi AARON COPLAND, composer; ALFRED I'RANKENSTEIN,
music critic of San Jrancisco Chromde; DOUGLAS MOORE, composer and
Professor of Music, Columbia University; WILLIAM SCHUMAN, composer
and president of Juilliard School of Music; CARlETON sprague smith,
chief of Music Division, N. Y. Public Library; G. WALLACE WOODWORTH,
Professor of Music, Harvard University.
HOW THE SOCIETY OPERATES
EACH month, three or more 12-inch 33]/3 R.P.M. rca Victor Red Sea
Records are announced to members. One is singled out as the record-oj-
the-nwnth, and unless the Society is otherwise instructed (on a simple form
always provided), this record is sent to the member. If the member does nol
want the work he may specify an alternate, or instruct the Society to send
him nothing at all in that month. For every record purchased, members pay
only $4.98, the nationally advertised price. (For every shipment a small
charge for postage and handling is added.)

NRT Develops
Major Interests
Bennington College's Non-Re-
sident Term has begun. Benning-
ton students will be found work- j
ing in Munich, London, and on an
Indian reservation in New Mexico, j
Originally the program was a
.six-week "winter field and reading
period", but in 1944 the students
wanted to take jobs, and the pre-
sent plan e\o!ved. The college
maintains NRT offices in New
York and Vermont to evaluate in-
dividual progress and place the
girls.
The girls report on the nature
of their jobs at the beginning of
the term and finish it up with a
term paper evaluating their ex-
perience. Slightly over half are
working in the New York area,
and there is one employed in the
Williams admissions office.

Capitalism: Two Views
ByGalbraith^ Strachey
Two of the world's top econom-
ists will match wits here Tue.sday
night in a Lecture Committee
sponsored debate on "Two Views of
Modern Capitalism."
Speaking in Jesup Hall will be
Harvard professor J. Kenneth Gal-
braith and British Member of Par-
liament John Strachey. Both are
prolific authors. Galbraith's best-
known books are "The Great
Crash" and the recent, best-seller,
"The Affluent Society." Strachey's
best known are: "The Coming
Struggle for Power" and "The Na-
ture of the Capitalist Crisis" pub-
lished in the mid 1930's, and the
more recent "Contemporary Cap-
italism."
Oxfoi-d graduate Strachey, an
active member of the Labor Party,
was considered one of Britain's
most articulate Marxists in the
1930's. Galbraith, whose works
have been penetrating analyses
rather than sharp critiques of
American capitalism, is expected to
take a position somewhat to the
right of Strachey in Tuesday's dis-
cussion.
Born In Ontario, Galbraith was
an assistant professor of economics
at Princeton in the early years of
World War II. While working for
OPA during the war, he became a
member of the editorial board of
ECONOMIST GALBRAITH
somewhat to the ri^ht
"Fortune." Since 1949, when he
gave up the job on "Fortune" he
has been a professor of economics
at Harvard.
Strachey was England's Minister
of Food under the postwar Labor
government and Secretary of State
for War in 1950-51.
Said Lecture Committee chair-
man Bill Edgar: "This should be
the best lecture of the year."
AMT To Present
'Summer & Smoke'
"Summer and Smoke," Tennes-
see Williams' story of .small-town
life in Mississippi during the pre-
World War I era, will be presented
at the Adams Memorial Theatre
of Williams College Feb. 19-21. Tlie
play will be directed by William J.
Martin, lecturer in drama, and
produced by Cap and Bells Inc.,
.student dramatic organization.
The lead roles of John Bu-
chanan Jr. and Alma Weinmuller
will be taken by P. Antonie Distler
'59 of Washington, D. C and
Cathy Martin.
Mrs. Martin, the wife of the
play's director, played the same
role when Mr. Martin directed the
play at the Highfield Theatre in
Falmouth five summers ago. In re-
cent years she has appeared in t)\e
AMT in "Under Milkwood,"
"Dirty Hands" and "Time of Your
Life."
Distler has appeared in 17 plays
as an undergraduate including the
lead in "The Importance of Being
Earnest" and most recently as
Captain Hook in "Peter Pan. " Last
summer he was with a stock com-
pany in Pennsylvania, and earlier
he worked in stock on Cape Cod.
He is president of Zeta Psi frater-
nity.

John Struthers '59, will be
brought to trial before Williams-
town District Court Saturday
morning, for allegedly taking a
sum in the excess of one-hundred
dollars from the funds of the Del-
ta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, while
serving as house treasurer.
Struthers, a senior from Port-
land, Oregon, wa.s charged with the
theft following an investigation by
the Williamstown Police Depart-
ment after he had reported his car
stolen two weeks ago.
Courtney Discovers Theft
Authorities reported that the
student maintained that the car
had contained a few of his be-
longings, and the house financial
records which had been salvaged
from the recent fire which des-
troyed the DEKE House. The car
was later discovered in North Ad-
ams and found to contain Stru-
thers' belongings, but no trace of
the books could be found.
Chief Courtney pressed charges
in behalf of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts after he had
questioned the former DEKE
treasurer who admitted to em-
bezzling an undetermined amount
of money and to steirtmg his own
car and abandoning the house
books on a Connecticut road. The
books were never discovered.
College to Review Case
Pending the outcome of the tri-
al. Struthers has been indefinitely
suspended by the college. Follow-
ing the trial, his case will be re-
viewed by the Student-Faculty
Disciplinary Committee.
Chief Courtney reported that the
cause of the recent Delta Kappa
Epsilon fire has not been deter-
mined, but that an investigation is
still underway by Police and Fire
authorities.
Treasurer - Lewis A. Epstein
Castle from Lockport, N. Y. has
been associated with the REC-
ORD for three years and during
the past year has served as Col-
lege Council reporter. He was a
member of the now-defunct Pho-
to Club, is a member of Cap and
Bells and is president of the House
Committee of his .social unit. Del-
ta Kappa Epsilon.
Bagnulo whose home is in
Marblehead was recently elected

Finale
La.st nij^lit we tinned over the ojieration.s of
thi.s new.s])a|ier to oiiv Friends and |)iotejrees in
till" |iniior Class.
We wish von hick.
For lis the experience of puttintr it out twice
a week has been at times interestint;;, at times atr-
f^ravatinj;, at times amiisinfr.
Our policy was formed as issues arose. We did
not state principles at tile outset, because we
knew that if we had, tliev would liaxe been
meaningless by the end.
We tried— for better and for worse— to give
the paper some thought content, which we felt
it had lacked in the pa.st.
After a scuffle witb the CC in the s|iring,
we worked together with them in the fall—
and accom|ilished something constructive.
We had some opinions about fraternities, the
curriculum, houseparties. Communist China and
Arab nationalism. Scanning the files recently,
we found that our ideas were at times good,
at times )5ompous, at times naive.
Following arc some excerpts from our edi-
torial pages, some to be remembered- others to
be forgotten as quickly as |Dossible.
Winter, 195H
Feb. 5: (On Career Weekend) "The forum
Friday night, where four alumni .si^oke on the

clumsy, self conscious efforts to make the CC
more representative."

What will happen this year?"
Mar. 12: "The 'fraternity spirit' is often

achronistic to a world surrounded ... by a
dead dog."
Mar. 12: "The second issue of 'Referendum'
is a little magazine which talks bijr."

through the labyrinth of conflicting opinions, the

April 18: THE STORY STINKS . . . "Tliose
who laughed, those who knew, those who made,
those who used . . . are guilty."

public welfare."
.\pril 30: "Dirty rushing is a crime."
May 7: "A car was fli|)i)ed and ignited in

Oct. 3: "()b\i()usly we do not want to see

at least go half-way."
Oct! 10; "THE COW IS DEAD! LONG

Letters To The Editor
EAST COLLEGE FIRE
Editor's Note: Hi.slon/ Professor Riulolph,
author of "Mark Hopkins and the Ln<>," is pre-
scnilij on leave doinf^ researeli for a liislon/ of
Ameriean education.
To the Editor:
By whom is the 1951 West College Fire
"acknowledged to be the worst" in the college's
iiistory (RECORD, Jan. 9)?
If there are any jiresent occupants of East
College who think that they are living in the
original Eighteenth (k-ntury building, may I
l)oint out that it was destroyed by fire in 1841
and replaced in 1842. 1 suppose that it is a
matter of o)Dinion what makes a tragedy "worst,"
but it is a matter of record that the fire of 1841
was serious enough to cause the Williams trus-
tees to plead with the Massachusetts legislature
for funds with which to rebuild it. (Tlie legis-
lature declined. ) At the time of the fire, too,
the building was fully occupied, bousing ap-
proximately a third of the student body. Im-
agine how the Williams faculty and trustees
felt when authorities at R. P. I. offered to relieve
the Williams housing shortage by enrolling the
dis|io.ssessed at their institution in Troy!
A wondering absentee recalls that in 1951,
when Professor Newhall saw the ruins of West
College, he looked up at Jesu)) Hall and remark-
ed, "I see that the faculty has bungled again."
What did be say this time?
Frederick Rudolph
Editor's Note: Haid professor emeritus New-
hall: "I liaven't said a word."
GUEST CARD
Editor's Note: The following is a letter reeeived hy Dean lioheri
R. Brooks from Diirtmoiitlts Winter Carnival Hoard.
Dear Sir:
I am writing you in tlie hope that you can help ns make tlu
students of your school aware of the many problems that an
associated with Winter Carnival. For many years the event ha,s
drawn students from all over die eastern seaboard. Often these
peojjle have come on a whim without lia\ing made prior arrange
ments. The lack of facilities here has in the past left them inihapp\
The majority of the problems has aiisen from the iioiisiug ami
eating in the area that are not geared to handling such crowds
For this reason we have adopted a strict, limited guest card sys
tein. The.se cards are available only before the weekend and then
from Dartinoudi .students. While in Hanover die cards .serve ;is
tickets of admittance to the doiniitories and fraternities . . .
Thank you in advance for voin cooperation and iielp in work
ing on this |)roblem with us.

J''ach ni^lit after dinner Walter and Casiniir and l.idioy went

three lioiirs'.' Why not each study for one hour'.' It is true we
will only learn ono-tliird as iiuicli that way, hut it does not
i!i;itter lu'cause there are three of us and next January before
the exams, we can (ret tdnetlier and pool our knowledj^e I"
Oh, what rapture then fell on Walter and Casimir and T,('l?oy!
They Hunt!; tlieir beanies into the air and danced a scliottisclie
and lit thirty or forty Philip Morrises and ran out to |iursue
the pleasure which had so Ion;;, so bitterly, been missing from
their lives.
Alas, they found instead a series of t;risly misfortunes. Walter,
alas, went searchiiiij; for love and was soon jiinnti steady with a
coed named InvicIa HreadstulT, a handsome lass, but, alas,
hopelessly addicted to bowlinu:. Ivich nifsht she bowled five
hundred lines, some nij^hts a thousand. Poor Walter's tliumh
was a sliambles and liis purse w.as empty, but Invicta just k(^pt
on bowliiifr and in tla^ end, alas, she left Walter for a piii-.setter,
which was a terrible tliini!; to do to Widler, esjiecially in tliia
case, becau.se the pin-setter was automatic.
Walter, of course, was far too distrauKht to study liis Enttlish
lit, but he took some comfort from the fact that his room-
mates were studyin(j; and they would help him before the exams,
liiit Walter, alas, was wrong, liis roommates, Casimir and
Lidioy, were nature lovers and they used their free time to go
for long tramps in the woods. One Xovember night, alas,
they were treed by two hears, Casimir by a brown bear and
LeHoy by a Kodiak, and tliey were kept in the trees until mid-
January when winter set in and the brown bear and the Kodiak
went away to hibernate.

So when the three roommates met before exams to pool
their knowledge, they found tl.ey had none to pool ! Well sir,
they had a good long laugh about that and then rushed to the
kitchen and stuek their heads in the oven. It was, Iiowever, an
electric oven and the effects were, on the whole, beneficial. The
wax in their ears got melted and they iieiinired a healthy tan
and today they are married to a l(i\ely young heiress named

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1959
Parker's Clutch Baskets, Eph Free
Throws Spell Defeat For Amherst
In its last game before the ex-
am intermission, Jan. 14, the var-
sity Basketball team took a 60-iJ3
decision over Amherst in the Pratt
Ca(4e. Outscored from the floor,
steady foul shooting and two cru-
cial field Roals by Bob Parker in
the fourth quarter earned Williams
the victory.
Jeff Moiton was hif;h man for
the Ephs with 16 points, while
Lee Lindeman lead the losers with
20. Williams hit on only 39;^ from
111',' floor, six percentage points be-
hind their averafje, but still re-
main fiftli in the nation in field
goal percentage.
On January 20 the .squad travel-
ed to New York for a two game
.series with the NYAC and the
Kings Point Merchant Marine
Academy. The contest with the
Athletic Club does not count offi-
cially on the .season's record as the
Club members are past NCAA
eligibility. Against Kings Point
Williams will put its 8-2 record on
the line in a game rated even by
virtue of similar victories by both
squads over Trinity.

On January 14 the varsity hock-
ey team absorbed its fifth loss of
the sea.son 4-3, on the Hamilton
College rink. Playing without the
services of left wing Woody Bur-
gerl and right wing Bob Lowden,
ooth sidelined with injuries the
team was able to skate only two
lines. The manpower shortage in-
ci-eased in the first period, when
wing Jim Fisher suffered a shoul-
dei injury and was forced to retire
from the game.
Mike Grant put Williams ahead
briefly 1-0 in the first period and
two goals by Nick Ohly in the sec-
ond and third periods kept the
game close right to the finish. Al
Lapty turned in another great per-
formance in the nets turning aside
43 shots. The sophomore is fast
establishing himself as one of the
tup Koalies in the east.
Friday, January 30, Williams en-
tertains Colby in a 4:00 contest
liial should be a real grudge
match. In their first meeting of
the season at the Cornell tourna-
ment during Christmas vacation,
the teams played to a 4-4 dead-
lock. Williams was robbed of the
victory w'ith ju.st 14 seconds of reg-
ulation playing tiine remaining and
a 10 minute overtime produced no
score from either side.

AAU Swimming Meet
In a benefit for the Pan-Ameri-

is liolding an open Senior Champ-

Knday nignt, Jan. 30. Since com-
petition IS on an individual basis,
colleges and athletic associations
ail over New Kngland will be rep-
resented. Trials begin in the after-
noon and the finals will be run off
at eight p.m.
'Williams swimmers loom as
strong competitors and potential
record breakers in a number of
events," according to manager
Jerry Tipper '59. "Neil Devaney '61
and Paul Dernier will probably
dominate the 100 yard men's se-
nior while Henry Tatem '59, Robin
Durham '62, and Terry Allen '61
will be after the Mass. State 200
yd. backstroke title." The feature
race of the evening will find Buck
Robinson '61 and Bill Jones of
Amherst in the 220 yd. men's se-
nior breaststroke competition.
Jones won the New England title
last year and this season he and
Robinson have been taking turns
oreaking the N. E. record.
The meet will also include a
record-breaking attempt by the
vVuliams 400 yd. freestyle relay
Ltam, junior events for Berkshire
county residents and a synchroniz-
ed swimming exhibition.

bians and reptiles. Dr. McGill al-
ready has started work on the
one-year grant and will continue
to teach while pursuing the study.
According to Dr. McGill there is
no conclusive proof that some rep-
tiles can hear. For instance. It is
believed that snakes are unable to
hear, but frogs land some other
amphibians i will respond to sharp
reports such as a handclap. Dr.
McGill is studying the hearing abi-
lity of both classes with the aid
of electronic equipment, modern
training and conditioning tech-
niques which have been developed
over the past 30 years since anyone
has done much work in this field.
Dr. McGill's electronic equip-
ment includes facilities for pro-
ducing electric shocks and noises.
The stimuli follow a pattern pun-
ched on a tape with an elaborate
set of counters to record the sub-
ject's reaction, synchronized with
a timer, to indicate how long it
takes the subject to react from
each situation.
The sensory deprivation tests,
which Dr. McGill conducted with
Professor 'Vernon, are expected to
contribute toward the .solution of
space travel problems and may
have a bearing on conditioning
techniques which it is believed
some governments employ to ex-
tract "confessions" from "enemies
of the state." Doubleday & Co.
plan to publish a book, "S. D." by
Professor 'Vernon next fall.

Mallie has worked for three years
