WILLIAMS  COLLEGE 


WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  5,  1958 


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.

The  fourth  annual  Career  Weekend  drew  a  total  crowd  of  990  students  to  tlie  sixteen  panels 
covering  various  facets  of  the  business,  educational  and  professional  worlds.  The  total  represents  a

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 
Dance  Friday  night,  why  a  red- 
hot  jazz  concert  with  Jimmy  Mc- 
Partland  and  The  Clovers  will 
warm  Chapin's  sober  walls,  why  a 
Goddess  or  something  will  be  cor- 
onated then,  why  the  hockey  and 
basketball  teams  will  see  fierce 
action,  why  the  ski  trails  will  echo 
with  cries  of  sporting  spirit,  why 
writhing  freshmen  labor  on  a  sta-

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. 


Late  Election  Results 

In  Fraternity  officer  elections  in 
four  houses  Monday  night,  Ernie 
Fleishman  became  the  new  presi- 
dent of  Phi  Gam,  Bo  Kirschen  of 
Phi  Slg,  Bob  McAlaine  of  Chi  Psi 
and  Dick  Moe  at  the  Theta  Delt 
house. 

Fleishman  replaces  Tex  Vogt  at 
Phi  Gam,  while  Jack  Poster,  Prank 
Johnson  and  Ralph  Lees  were  cho- 
sen as  treasurer,  recording  secre- 
tary and  corresponding  secretary.

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 
hudfic't  for  1958  eurnnirks  $40  hillion  for  defense,  hut  onhj  $4

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. 


QuinfefW^iW  Face  j  Williams  Skiers  Take 
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.

Fourth  Place  In  Meet 

Last  weekend  in  the  annual  Dartmouth  Winter  Carnival  at 
Hanover,  New  Uiiinijshire,  Williani.s  placed  fourth  in  the  two-day 
c()n]|)etition,  while  Dartmouth  eaptined  top  honors  lor  the  seventh 
straight  year.  An  luifortniiate  incident  occurred  during;  the  down- 
hill com]jetiti()ii  when  Williams'  coach,  Ralph  Townsend,  suffer- 
ed a  "snipped  Archilles  tendon."  Mr.  Townsend  will  spend  the 
next  two  weeks  in  Hanover  and  thus  will  miss  the  Williams  car- 
nival. 

Highest  point  earner  for  Wil- 
liams was  Jim  Becket,  who  placed 
fifth  in  the  Cross-Country  with  a 
time  of  1:13:41,  seventh  in  the 
Downhill  in  1:13.3  minutes,  seven- 
th in  the  Downhill-Slalom  Com- 
bined, and  eleventh  in  the  Slalom 
with  2:30.3  minutes.  George  Fisher 
and  Jackson  Wright  with  Becket 
formed  the  nucleus  of  the  team 
which  accumulated  513.4  points 
while  finishing  fourth.  Dartmouth 
scored  584.6  points  in  winning. 
Wright  came  in  ninth  in  the  Sla- 
lom with  a  2:30.0  time.

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  5,  1958 


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  In  Search 
For  Fifth  Victory 

Siena  College  will  furnish  the 
opposition  tomorrow  night  as  the 
Williams  varsity  basketball  team 
play.s  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  tournament 
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  visitore 
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.

Williams  Skiers  Take 
Fourth  Place  In  Meet 

Last  weekend  in  the  annual  Dartmouth  Winter  Carnival  at 
Hanover,  New  Hanipsliire,  Williani.s  placed  fourth  in  the  two-day 
coinjietitioii,  while  Dartmouth  captured  top  honors  for  the  seventn 
.stiai]L;ht  year.  An  unfortunate  incident  occurred  durinjr  the  down- 
hill competition  when  VVilliam.s'  coach,  Ralph  Townsend,  suffer- 
ed a  "snipped  Archilles  tendon."  .Mr.  Townsend  will  spend  the 
next  two  weeks  in  Hanover  and  thus  will  miss  the  Williams  car- 
nival. 

Highest  point  earner  for  Wil- 
liams was  Jim  Becket,  who  placed 
fifth  in  the  Cross-Country  with  a 
time  of  1:13:41,  seventh  In  the 
Downhill  in  1:13.3  minutes,  seven- 
th in  the  Downhill-Slalom  Com- 
bined, and  eleventh  in  the  Slalom 
with  2:30.3  minutes.  George  Fisher 
and  Jackson  Wright  with  Becket 
formed  the  nucleus  of  the  team 
which  accumulated  513.4  points 
while  finishing  fourth.  Dartmouth 
scored  584.6  points  in  winning. 
Wright  came  in  ninth  in  the  Sla- 
lom with  a  2:30.0  time. 

St.  Lawrence  Second 


St.  Lawrence  and  Norwich  plac- 
ed second  and  third  respectively. 
Following  Williams  in  order  of  fi- 
nal standing  were  New  Hampshire, 
Vermont,  Harvard,  and  Yale.  Bill 
Smith,  Dartmouth  senior,  won  the 
annual  skimeister  award.  He  re- 
ceived this  as  a  I'esult  of  his  in- 
dividual record  which  included 
first  places  in  the  Downhill  and 
the  Downhill-Slalom  Combined, 
and  third  places  in  the  Slalom  and 
the  Cross-Country. 

Betas  Win 

Dartmouth  captured  evei-y  first 
place  except  in  the  jumping.  The 
Norwegian  star,  Einar  Dolan,  took 
first  for  New  Hampshire.  Beta 
Theta  Pi  won  the  ice  sculpture 
contest  with  its  rocket,  "Stardust."

"The  ability  to  communicate  . . .

"The  ability  to  devise  alterna- 
tives. 

"The  ability  to  get  things  done." 

He  felt  that  the  first  five  years 
of  a  man's  career  were  vital  in  de- 
termining his  future  in  business. 
"Appraise  yourself  and  your  ob- 
jectives (periodically) — and  if 
you're  in  the  wrong  spot,  move  . . . 
(But  only)  if  you  move  forward  to 
greater  responsibility  and  oppor- 
tunity." Auer  cautioned  against 
the  over-mature,  the  too  well-ad- 
justed attitude  which  seem  to 
characterize    this  generation. 

"In  the  main,  you  have  been 
working  for  yourself  and  by  your- 
self. Now  you  will  be  interacting 
with  people."  Auer  felt  this  to  be 
the  major  difference  between  col- 
lege and  business.  His  principal 
admonition:  choose  the  function 
you  want  to  perform  rather  than 
the  company.  If  it's  a  bad  choice, 
get  out.

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

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

Cole  Notes  Many 
Frosh  Warnings 

"You  are  losing  sight  of  the 
wood  for  the  trees,"  said  Dean 
William  G.  Cole  to  the  Freshman 
class  Tuesday  evening  In  Jesup. 
In  noting  the  unusually  high  num- 
ber (25)  on  academic  warning, 
and  (102)  on  informal  warning, 
Dean  Cole  warned,  however,  a- 
gainst  being  overly  grade-con- 
scious. 

He  stressed  the  necessity  for 
being  stimulated  by  at  least  one 
course;  "If  college  has  become  a 
boring  routine  for  you,  you  ought 
to  get  out."

College  Police  Track 
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 
libations  to  Bacchus,  not  being 
conducive  to  lucid  thought,  judge- 
ment, or  sight  and  impairing  at- 
tainment of  true  intellectual 
heights.  Immorality  is  evil,  and 
will  reap  the  reward  of  . . .  Please 
remit  before  1/22/58. 


Bridge  Tourney 
Next  Wednesday 

Dealing  for  next  Wednesday 
evening's  College  Bridge  Tourna- 
ment in  the  Rathskeller  will  be- 
gin at  7  with  the  bell  ringing  at 
11. 

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 
a  one  dollar  fee,  according  to 
Chairman  Dick  Contant  '59. 

The  winning  pair  will  receive 
silver  ashtrays  with  the  inscrip- 
tion "All  College  Bridge  Tourna- 
ment, 1958"  and  the  winner's 
name. 

Contant  also  announced  that 
Williams  would  procure  a  nation- 
al franchise  in  the  American 
Bridge  League  next  year  should 
this  year's  tournament  be  a  suc- 
cess. A  national  standing  would 
then  be  the  result.

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.

Here'f  a  sentence  that's  easy  to  parse:  Subject — you.  Verb —

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 
the  concert,  will  Include  Pee  Wee 
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 
men  play  a  lilting  chorus  and  have

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-

Unusual  opportunities  in 

Marketing-  Advertising 

Management 


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.

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-

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-

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-

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 
collapsing.  Fire  Chief  Ai'thui'  A. 
Girard  roped  off  the  vulnerable 
area  and  evacuated  persons  living 
in  the  adjacent  building. 

Flames   Uncontrollable 

After  the  second  floor  Ignition, 
in  the  apartment  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Calvin  Burdick,  the  call  was  given 
and  inhabitants  aroused.  The 
flames  spread  beyond  Initial  con- 
trol and  with  the  side  entrance 
blocked  by  the  fire,  occupants  had 
to  flee  down  the  rear  wooden 
stairs. 

Besides  the  appearance  of  the 
entire  city  fire  equipment,  stan- 
dard for  a  double  alarm  blaze, 
auxiliary  firefighters,  police,  Civ- 
il Defense  and  Public  Works  De- 
partment officials  were  available.

in    1915   from    knowing   how   bad 
war  could  be." 

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.

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 


written. 

The  opening  part  of  the  Faculty 
Revue  will  be  a  scene  from  Shaw's 
"The  Apple  Cart."  AMT  Director 
Giles  Playfair  and  Mrs.  Donald 
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 
another  car  on  Main  Street  Satur- 
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 
Streets. 

Many  misfortunes  were  caused 
by  adverse  weather  conditions,  and 
cars  left  stuck  on  the  roads  were 
a  common  hazard.  The  totals  were 
undoubtedly  reduced  by  wide- 
spread abandonment  of  automo- 
bile transport  Sunday  afternoon 
In  favor  of  railroad  transporta- 
tion. 


THE    SNOW    KING

"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. 

Warning   Issued 

This  increase  in  failures  is  also, 
of  course,  an  indicaiion  of  unsat- 
isfactory performance  on  the  part

cast  tiieir  ballots  lor  class  officers  Thursday  in  the  Student  Union 

Seniors  will  choose  permanent  class  officers  in  a  special  elec- 
tion meeting  to  be  held  in  the  near  future. 

Each  class   will   choose   a  president  and  secretary-treasurer; 
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.

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".

Jeffs  Consider 
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. 


Restauranteur  Boasts 
Personality^  Ingenuity 

By  John  Good 
"Under  new  management"  is  the  advertisement  proffered  on 
a  sign  on  tlie  College  Restaurant  since  September  14.  With  the 
reign  of  "Williamstown's  Anna  Magnani",  last  year's  combustible 
wonuui  manager,  the  College  Restaurant  sank  to  a  new  low  in 
patronage.  Williams  students  passed  up  the  emporium  with  such 
'  little   regard   last   year,   that   this 


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- 
culating to  the  effect  that  Green- 
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.

Dartmouth  receiving  award  at 
Sunday  night  banquet. 


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. 


COME  TO  THE 

Middlebury  College  Winter  Carnival 

Middlebury,  Vermont 

FEBRUARY  13,  14  and  15 


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.

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

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.

placed  fourth  in  the  finals.  Buzz 
Morss  ran  the  mile,  Tom  Kellogg 
ran  the  1000,  and  Walt  Henrlon 
competed  in  the  60  yard  dash 
Walt  Henrion  ran  against  Ira

warned  that  the  persistence  of 
such  poor  work  may  lead  to  the 
warning  by  the  Committee  on  Ac-

whose  records,  though  passing  the 
required  minimum,  are  considered 
by  the  Committee  to  be  unsatis-

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

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. 


Find  out  about  career  opportunities  for  you 
in  the  Bell  Telephone  Companies.  Talk  with 
the  Bell  interviewer  when  he  visits  your  cam- 
pus. And  read  the  Bell  Telephone  booklet

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

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.

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. 

The  Williams  Ski  Team. 


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 
faculty  members.

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 
this  column  throughout  the  school  year. 


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.

employes  in  126  plants  in  71  cities  and 
19  states? 

If  you  do,  you're  just  the  kind  of  person 
that  General  Motors'  team  of  inter- 
viewers is  looking  for  during  its  visit 
to  your  campus.  For  the  students 
employed  today  will  be  top  GM  execu- 
tives 10, 15,  or  20  years  from  now. 

And  when  you're  thinking  about  a  posi- 
tion with  General  Motors,  remember 
this:  Because  of  its  diversification, 
decentralized  operation  and  coordinated 


control,  GM  gives  you  all  the  advantages 
of  working  with  a  small  firm,  together 
with  the  benefits  a  large  organization 
provides. 

Remember  too  that  there  is  opportunity 
without  limit  at  General  Motors  — for 
"promotion  from  within"  has  been  a 
GM  policy  for  decades. 

Interested?  Sign  up  for  an  interview.  You 
may  find  a  future  as  big  as  you  wish  to 
make  it.

HOCKEY 

A  heavy  schedule  awaits  the 
varsity  hockey  team  this  weekend 
as  it  meets  MIT  under  the  lights 
Friday  night  and  Norwich  on  Sat- 
urday afternoon.  Both  games  will 
be  played  on  home  ice  before  a 
Homecoming  Weekend  crowd. 

Williams  has  a  season's  record 
of  5-8,  dropping  one  to  Amherst 
last  Saturday  by  a  2-1  score. 
Starting  for  the  Ephmen  in  the 
weekend  games  should  be  the  first 
line  of  Burgert,  Cook,  and  Lom- 
bard, backed  by  defensemen  Al 
Erb  and  Rick  DriscoU  and  goalie 
Denny  Doyle. 

MIT  has  not  been  a  very  power- 
ful team  this  season,  but  Williams 
Coach  McCormick  warns  against 
over-confidence  because  of  the 
comparative  records.  The  Engin- 
eers were  beaten  by  Norwich  early 
in  the  season  by  a  13-0  score. 

Norwich,  on  the  other  hand,  will 
go  into  this  game  a  slight  favorite 
over  Williams,  having  already 
handed  Amherst  a  2-1  defeat.  The 
Cadets  will  rely  heavily  on  goalie 
Bob  McLeod  and  defensemen 
Fred  Haynes  and  Norm  Lavigne  in 
Saturday's  game.

Pete  Willmott  at  guard.  Morris, 
the  only  sophomore  in  the  start- 
ing line-up  has  really  come  into 
his  own  in  the  last  few  games.  He 
scored  20  in  the  Middlebury  game. 
Sophomore  George  Boynton  and 
Phil  Brown  will  also  see  plenty 
of  action. 

Except  for  Warren,  the  Jeffs 
are  not  particularly  strong.  Six 
foot,  five  inch  Lee  Lindeman  will 
definitely  be  one  starting  forward.

Unusual  opportunities  in 

Marketing- Advertising 

Management 


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.

Blizzard  Strikes; 
Area  Paralyzed 

Near  blizzards  have  struck  Wil- 
liamstown  on  two  consecutive 
weekends,  delivering  nearly  two 
feet  of  snow  within  a  week. 

In  spite  of  swift  action  by  state 
and  local  road  crews  in  clearing 
away  the  snow  which  muffled 
Carnival  weekend,  roads  remained 
slippery.  On  top  of  the  8  to  10 
inches  of  the  Carnival  weekend 
snowfall,  the  Pittsfield  weather 
bureau  predicted  a  new  fall  of  15 
to  20  inches  with  heavy  drifting 
last  Sunday. 

Ephmen  Stranded 

In  Middlebury,  Vermont,  the 
Williams  Purple  Knights  were 
caught,  unable  to  return  for  Mon- 
day classes.  Williams  men,  return- 
ing from  Smith  or  Holyoke,  re- 
ported three  hour  ordeals,  and  at 
least  one  man  was  stranded  at 
Vassar.  Buses  had  stopped  run- 
ning into  Williamstown  and  train 
service  was  sharply  curtailed. 

The  Williams  swimming  team, 
however,  successfully  battled  the 
elements  returning  from  the  wilds 
of  Maine.

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 
in  Williamstown's  history. 


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 
used  in  comparing  the  U.  S.  and 
Russia  in  education  and  research 
was  the  number  of  annual  Nobel 
Prizes  received  by  each. 

Economics  professor,  Emile  Des- 
pres  and  Dean  Vincent  Harnett 
criticized  Washington  for  an  un- 
realistic approach  both  to  our  for- 
eign policy  and  the  recent  domes- 
tic business  recession.  Barnett  ob- 
served that  America  was  Just 
growing  out  of  the  post  World  War 
attitude  that  it  was  the  only  world 
power. 


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.

Iraqui  Student  Names  U.  A.  R. 
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'-

Western    volcanic    activities    that

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. 

Over  39  skiers  competed  and 
Hubert  Baxter  '61,  had  the  win- 
ning time  for  the  meet  of  21.1 
seconds.

Frosh  Rout  Vermont; 
Hawkins  Scores  Two 

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. 


Intramural  B-Ball 

Piling  up  a  12  point  halftime 
lead,  Phi  Gamma  Delta  went 
on  to  swamp  Beta  Theta  Pi  31- 
14  In  intramural  basketball 
Monday  afternoon,  to  move  into 
undisputed  position  of  first 
place  in  the  Monday  league. 

In  the  Tuesday  league  Delta 
Upsilon,  with  a  perfect  6-0  rec- 
ord, leads  Alpha  Delta  Phi, 
which  currently  stands  at  5-1. 
Playoffs  are  scheduled  for  early 
March.

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-

Eph  Matmen  Tied  By 
Colgate;  Frosh  Taken 

Leadiiif^  for  most  ol  the  match,  the  varsity  wrestling  team 
was  finally  overcome  and  tied,  14-14,  by  Colgate  last  Saturday  in 
the  Lasell  gym. 

The  highlight  of  the  match  for  Williams  was  Stu  Smith's  ( 130) 
pin  of  Colgate's  Maury  Eaton.  The 
pin  came  at  3:51   of  the  second 
period     on     a     half-nelson     and 
crotch. 

Moore  Successful 

Kuhrt  Wienecke,  captain  Jim 
Hutchinson  and  Dave  Moore  also 
turned  in  successful  performances 
for  the  Ephs.  Wienecke,  wrestling 
at  137,  overpowered  Dick  Mc- 
Shane,  8-1.  Hutchinson  scored 
three  reversals  to  outpoint  Ted 
Tobias  in  the  147  pound  class.  At 
177,  Moore  led  all  the  way  to 
beat  Dick  Kelly,  8-6. 

Wally  Matt,  Steve  Lewis,  Pete 
Carney,  and  Denny  Mitchell  were 
the  Williams'  fatalities.  Matt  at 
137  was  beaten  by  Paul  Martin, 
3-1.  Lewis  (157)  was  outpointed 
by  Ted  Houser,  6-3,  while  Carney 
lost  to  Skip  Schult  at  167,  3-0. 
In  the  final  match,  Mitchell  was 
pinned  by  Pete  Newell  at  5:39  of 
the  second  period. 

Kent   Crushes   Frosh 

Winning  all  but  two  matches, 
the  Kent  wrestling  team  powered 
its  way  to  a  24-6  victory  over  the 
Williams  freshmen  at  Lasell  Gym 
Saturday.    Only    undefeated    Skip 


.Sophomore  STEVE  LEWIS  in

Yale  Defeats  Eph 
Squashmen,  7-2 

The  Varsity  Squash  team  di'op- 
ped  its  third  match  on  Friday  to 
Yale  7-2.  OUie  Stafford,  the  per- 
ennial strongman  on  the  team, 
and  Roger  Southall,  the  number 
three  player,  were  the  only  ones 
to  ring  up  wins  for  Williams. 

Stafford  defeated  Yale's  Son- 
ny Howe  15-12,  10-15,  15-11,  15-12 
to  run  his  season's  record  to  5  vic- 
tories and  one  defeat.  Through- 
out the  match  OUie  mixed  deep 
sliots  and  cross-courts,  to  keep 
Howe  in  the  backcourt,  with  sharp 
angles  to  take  the  contest.  Greg 
Tobin  lost  in  straight  games  to 
Harvey  Sloane,  Yale's  captain. 
Southall  won  a  good  match  from 
temperamental  Charles  Kingsley 
15-13.  9-15,  15-9,  15-8. 

Drop    Last   Six 

Shulman,  Bowen,  Beckwith,  and 
Weaver  lost  four  games.  Beck- 
with's  close  match  was  lost  in  the 
last  seconds  of  an  extra-point 
game  when  he  was  hit  with  the 
ball.  Bob  McCoy  beat  Ernie 
Fleishman  in  straight  games  for 
the  number  seven  match.  Chris 
Schaeffer  lost  a  heartbreaker  8-15, 
15-7,  8-15,   15-8,   17-16.

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.

such  a  nature  as  to  defy  a  deter-

In  the  light  of  this  development 
several  questions  come  forward. 
What  would  be  the  impact  of  this

in  their  present  and  future,  look 
forward  to  the  day  when  one  Arab 
Nation  should  be  united  in  one 
State  . .  ." 

Again,  (Art.  75),  both  Presi- 
dent and  Representative  solemnly 
promise  to  work  for  the  realiza- 
tion of  the  unity  of  the  Arab 
countries.  Seven  years  later,  a  new 
constitution  was  laid  down  in  Cai- 
ro under  the  present  leadership. 
The  Egyptian  constitution  reiter- 
ates almost  to  the  word  the  Syri- 
an's solemn  promise  to  work  to- 
ward unity.  Thursday,  this  rendez- 
vous with  history  becomes  a  reali- 
ty in  the  form  of  the  United  Arab 
Republic. 


ship? 

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- 
tion can  be  forced  to  part  with  its 
past  and  its  heritage,  most  of 
all   the  Arabs,    the  possessors,   if 


Pull  and   complete   unity   is  by  not  the  sole  possessors,  of  history, 
no  means  the  goal  and  concern  of  i  Challenge  to  West 

Egypt  and  Syria  alone.  The  fight       The  impact  of  this  development 


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 
process   of ,  P^°P''^     ^'^°^^-    who     will    decide 
presents   a   which  path  to  follow. 
1- 

The  west  ca:i  ill-afford  not  to 
take  notice  of  this  highly  crucial 
development  in  a  region  which  is 
busy  rediscovering  its  values,  and 
which  has  now  become  conscious 
of  its  creative  forces  in  a  world 
that  is  so  closely  interdependent.

FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  21,  1958

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.

Optics  and  theories  of  lij^ht  were  the  subjects  of  a  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  discussion  panel  Tuesday  evening  in  Griffin  Hall. 

The  student-faculty  grouj)  consisted  of  Professors  Donald  G. 
Rohr  and  Charles  G.  Nauert  of  the  History  department,  Physics 
Professor  Davitl  A.  Park  and  Phi  Bete  Tom  Synnott  '58.

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. 


Harter  was  also  a  Junior  Advi- 
sor, a  member  of  the  Gul  Busi- 
ness Board,  and  a  four-year  mem- 
ber of  the  W.  C.  C.  He  is  currently 
serving  as  Secretary  of  Gargoyle

sident of  the  Adelphic  Union,  he

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- 
vard, and  Bernard  Wagenaar,  a

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.

Editor's  Note:  A  credit  to  the  student  bodtf,  we 
feel,  that  tlieij  appreciate  a  realitij  so  present  in 
cine-morsel  Enroot,  so  absent  in  lecturer  Streit's 
dream  of  world  federalism.

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-

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  21,  1958 


Williams  Defeated  By  Army  Quintet; 
Morton  Nets  31;  Kouns  Sets  Record 

The  Cadets  of  West  Point  scored  50  points  in  both  periods 
Wednesday  ni^ht  to  defeat  an  aKgressive  WilHams  l)asketl)all 
team  by  a  100-81  score. 

Junior  center  Geoff  Morton  was  high  scorer  for  the  frame 

dropping;  in  9  field  goals  and  13  free  tlirows  for  a  total  of  31 

points.  Next  in  line  for  Williams  came  Pete  Willmott  with  10  points 

and    J.  B.  Morris,  Bill  Hedeman,  and  Bob  Parker  with  8  points 

Kutms  And  Morton 

Sophomore  Darryle  Kouns  of  Army  set  a  clul 
record  by  netting  25  points  and 


I)  season  scorinjf 


raising  his  total  to  492  for  the 
year.  High  scorer  Morton  of  Wil- 
liams has  a  season's  total  of  373 
but  his  game  average  is  a  healthy 
23.3  points  compared  to  Kouns' 
22.4. 

This  game  with  the  Army  marks 
the  first  time  Williams  has  sche- 
duled this  opponent  in  basketball. 
The  loss  sets  the  Eph  record  at  8 
wins  and  6  losses  for  the  season. 

Saturday  night  Williams  will  op- 
pose Wesleyan  on  the  home  court. 
This  will  be  followed  by  two  away

Chi  Psi  In  Lead 


The  Intramural  Sports'  program 
is  now  in  full  swing.  Chi  Psi  is  pre- 
sently leading  with   38  points. 

Alpha  Delta  Phi  is  in  second 
place  with  33  tallies,  and  Zeta  Psi 
is  third  with  32  and  one-half.  Pol- 
lowing  in  order  are  Phi  Gamma 
Delta  with  31  points,  Phi  Delta 
Theta  with  29,  and  St.  Anthony 
with  23. 

Only  three  of  the  events  have 
been  completed  up  to  the  present 
time.  Those  are  touch-football, 
swimming,  and  skiing.  Chi  Psi 
captured  the  title  in  touch-foot- 
ball with  twenty  points.  Phi  Delta 
Theta  took  second.  The  swimming 
title  went  to  Phi  Delt  which  scor-

ing in  next. 

The  skiing  competition,  held  a 
few  weeks  ago,  went  to  Zeta  Psi 
with  a  score  of  15.  Chi  Psi  came 
in  second  with  13  tallies,  followed 
by   Phi   Gam    . 

Many  of  the  remaining  events 
will  be  scheduled  within  the  next 
few  wpijks.  The  pool,  billiards, 
squash,  table  teniiis,  and  basket- 
ball tournaments  are  presently  In 
progress.

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.

In  a  recent  "Time"  magazine  ar-

centage of  students  in  such 
courses. 

Fewer  than  15  per  cent  of  high 
school  students  are  taking  a  for- 
eign language  while  50  per  cent 
of  all  the  high  schools  do  not  even 
offer   a  foreign  language   at  all. 

In  contrast,  40  per  cent  of  all 
Russian  high  school  students  study 
English,  while  only  ten  out  of  the 
25,000  U.  S.  high  schools  even  of-

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.,

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. 


is  intended  to  be  a  pocket  guide  to 
the  public  museums  of  New  Eng- 
land and  shows  representative  se- 
lections from  each. 

There  are  400  illustrations  of 
works  of  art  contained  in  these 
museums  accompanied  by  short 
critical  commentary.  Included  in 
Faison's  book  are  ten  works  of  art 
to  be  found  in  the  Lawrence  Art 
Museum  and  eighteen  from  the 
Clark  Art  Institute. 

Waite,  Compton 

Professor  Robert  G.  L.  Waite  is 
working  on  a  biography  of  Hitler 
at  present  and  is  planning  to  take 
a  year's  leave  of  absence  in  1959 
to  interview  people  who  knew  him. 
Waite  did  some  work  on  this  topic 
when  he  was  awarded  a  Guggen- 
heim Fellowship  in   1953. 

"An  Introduction  to  Chemistry", 
by  Professor  Charles  D.  Compton 
will  be  published  in  April  by  D. 
Van  Nostrand  Co.  It  is  an  intro- 
ductory text  for  the  liberal  arts 
student  not  planning  to  major  in 
science.  It  could  be  used  in  courses

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. 


Hyland  Elected  President  Of  CC; 
Hassler,  White,  Griffin  To  Serve 

Jack  Hyland  '59,  was  chosen  the  new  president  of  tiie  College 
Council  Monday  night. 

Hyland,  Mack  Hassler  '59,  vice-president  elect,  the  new  treas- 

surer  Palmer  White  '59,  and  sec- 
retary-elect Keith  Griffin  '60,  are 
all  serving  their  first  terms  on  the 
council. 

Hyland  expressed  his  hopes  that 
"a  lot  of  new  people  with  new 
ideas"  will  enable  the  council  to 
better  fulfill  its  purpose  as  stated 
in  the  constitution,  "to  promote 
the  ideals  of  Williams  College." 
RECORD  Cooperation 
Hyland  also  expressed  a  desire 
that  "the  College  Coimcil  and  the 
RECORD  will  work  more  closely 
in  conjunction  with  one  another 
in  furthering  this  aim. 

"Until  I  realize  what  the  main 

problems  and  icsuec  are,"  he  went 

on,  "I  can't  comment  on  what  the 

CC  will  do.  I  do  believe  that  the

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,

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  26,  1958 


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.

Paul  Twigg's  Baby 


Paul  A.  Twigg  had  been  with  Mich- 
igan Bell  Telephone  Company  for  about 
a  year  when  he  was  assigned  to  a  project 
that  was  a  "dream"  for  a  young  archi- 
tectural engineer.  He  was  to  supervise 
construction  of  a  6-story,  175,000- 
squarc-foot  addition  to  the  telephone 
building  in  Grand  Rapids. 

"For  the  next  two  years,"  Paul  says, 
"I  lived  with  the  job  as  assistant  to  the 
Project  Engineer.  1  interpreted  the  archi- 
tect's plans  and  specifications  for  the 
contractor,  inspected  construction,  made 
on-the-spot  revisions  where  necessary, 
and  worked  out  the  many  prrblems 
which   arise  on  a  project  of  this  size. 

"I  kept  the  Engineering  office  in  De- 
troit informed  through  daily  logs  and 
weekly  progress  reports.    My  boss  pro- 


vided reassuring  supervision  and  advice 
on  major  ])rol)lems  by  means  of  jieriodic 
visits  to  the  job." 

The  building  was  completed  last 
August.  Understandably.  Paul  thinks  of 
it  as  his  "two-raillion-doilar  baby."

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.

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.

Freshman   Grapplers 
Overcome    Wesleyan 

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. 


Skaters  Split  In 
Weekend  Hockey 
With  Army,  Wes 


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.

Blanks  Wesleyan  9-0 

I'lie  Freshman  Squash  team  re- 
gistered its  first  victory  on  Sat- 
urday as  they  trounced  Wesleyan 
9-0. 

There  were  only  four  matches 
that  went  extra  games,  and  only 
one  of  these  wont  the  limit.  Bruce 
Brian  was  the  first  to  finisli  his 
match,  beating  Dick  Arnold  15-10. 
15-6.  18-14.  Hud  Holland,  playing 
number  six  for  the  Frosh  had  per- 
haps the  easiest  match  winning 
15-7,  15-4,  15-2.  John  Logie  won 
the  only  5-setter,  taking  the  last 
game  15-8. 

The  team's  record  now  stands 
at  1-3.  Their  next  opponent  is 
Deerfield  at  home. 


The  varsity  squash  team  got 
back  on  the  winning  track  as  they 
beat  Princeton  and  Wesleyan  on 
successive  days. 

The  fast  Wesleyan  courts  prov- 
ed no  handicap  for  the  Ephs  on 
Saturday  as  they  won  all  nine 
matches  from  an  inferior  foe.  Cap- 
tain Ollie  Stafford  barely  worked 
up  a  sweat  as  he  swept  by  Denni.s 
15-10,  15-12.  15-10.  John  Bowen 
took  Beecher  of  Wesleyan  with  a 
good  14-17.  15-3,  15-4,  9-15,  15-12. 

Kphs   Trip   Princeton 

The  big  win  for  the  squash  team 
came  on  Friday  night  when  they 
tripped  Princeton.  5-4.  Things 
were  rather  close  all  the  way  as 
Williams  won  three  out  of  the  four 
five  set  matclies.  The  only  extra 
game  match  the  visitors  lost  wa.s 
in  tile  number  one  slot  where 
Veshslage  won.  Iti-H,  4-15,  IS- 
IS, 15-7.  15-8. 

After  dropping  the  first  two 
matches,  Williams  fought  back  to 
take  the  next  four.  Rog  Southall 
defeated  Tiger  captain  Mack  in 
five  sets,  and  Tom  Shulman  had 
an  easy  time  with  McMullin,  win- 
ning 15-8,  15-7,  15-2.  Bowen  and 
Beckwith  checked  in  with  import- 
ant victories  to  help  set  the  season 
record  at  5-3.

This  will  be 
of  eight  fac- 
each  Thurs- 
Roonn  111  of 


Professor  Winch,  using  the  elec- 
tron and  atomic  structure  as  ex- 
amples will  talk  about  what  a 
"construct"  is.  He  will  also  discuss 
the  methods  with  which  a  scien- 
tist provides  physical  evidence  to 
make   a  "construct". 

The  lecturer  said  that.  In  con- 
clusion, he  would  try  to  Indicate 
that  Physics  as  such  has  very  little 
to  say  about  reality.  He  added  that 
he  thought  this  conclusion  would 
have  some  interesting  connections 
with  some  ideas  in  the  lecture  to 
follow  his  own;  that  of  philoso- 
phy Professor  Gerald  E.  Myers,

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, 


Biography  .  .  . 

Edinburgh  and  its  aixihives,  shows 
itself  in  many  ways.  The  canon  of 
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. 


N.  Y.  U.  and  McMasters,  and  then 
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- 
creased opportun'ties  for  students, 
innovations  in  administration,  im- 
provement in  teaching  methods, 
and  new  developments  in  curricu- 
lum.

"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

Bii  Ted  Cuxtlc 

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

HISTORIAN    RUDOLPH 

"not  in  a  tree-planting  mood" 

My  emphasis  is  on  getting  the  stu- 
dents to  think — if  they  expect  to 
be  told  what  to  think,  then  they 
deserve  to  be  disappointed.  Teach- 
ers don't  teach  facts,  students 
learn  them.  What  happens  to  the 
student's  mind  in  the  presence  of 
facts  is  the  main  thing."

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

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."

Ski  Exchange 

Ski  Coach  Ralph  Townsend  will 
continue  to  advise  the  WOC  for  a 
second  year.  The  new  officers 
plan  to  expand  the  present  PT 
hiking  and  skiing  programs.  The 
six  trails  on  the  surrounding 
mountains  have  become  increas- 
ingly popular  as  a  result  of  this 
program.  The  WOC  plans  to  or- 
ganize camping  trips  to  the  cabins 
on  Berlin  and  Greylock  moun- 
tains this  spring.  Maps  of  nearby 
hunting  and  fishing  areas  are  now 
available  to  interested  students. 

Next  fall  the  Outing  Club  plans 
to  organize  a  ski  equipment  ex- 
change center  where  students  will 
be  able  to  purchase  second-hand

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 
ill  thJ-ee  straight  games.

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 
zart  constitute  the  remainder  of ;  corner  restaurants."

Harpsichord  Will 
Highlight  Concert 

Ridgeway  M.  Banks  '58,  has 
constructed  a  harpsichord  which 
will  be  played  in  a  concert  of  the 
Berkshire  Quindecem  Sunday  at 
3:30   in  Lawrence  Hall. 

This  group  of  fifteen  strings 
and  wind  instruments  will  be  con- 
ducted by  Thomas  Griswold. 

The  harpsichord  being  used  is 
a  double-stopped  instrument  in 
Baroque  style.  It  took  Banks,  an 
honors  student  in  music,  five  years 
to  build.  Mr.  William  Little  of  the 
German  Department  will  be  solo- 
ist. 

The  concert  will  feature  music 
of  the  18th  century.  There  are  two 
Concerti    Grossi,    one    by    Corelli

NO  MANDATE:  A  dynamite 
plot  to  detlu'one  King  Winter  is 
suspected.  The  monarch's  support 
from  cold-weary  citizenry  is  wan- 
ing, however,  and  political  assasi- 
nation    may    prove    uimecessary. 


"part  of  the  northeast  Pennsyl- 
vania mining  area — a  suburb  of 
Wilkes  Barre,  if  that  means  any- 
thing," he  says.  Rudolph  and  his 
family  live  in  a  recently  purchased 
house  on  Ide  Road.  "We  had  the 
trees  inspected  a  month  after  we 
moved  in  and  had  to  cut  one  down. 
This  Dutch  Elm  Tree  disease  is 
getting  serious — 100  trees  had  to 
be  cut  down  in  Williamstown  last 
year.  They  were  originally  planted 
by  the  students,  you  know.  But  I 
guess  the  students  aren't  in  a  tree- 
planting  mood  right  now." 


Sitting  sickly  on  his  Chapin  Hall 
throne,  the  king  has  been  looking 
less  and  less  powerful — his  black, 
leprous  face  reminiscent  of  the 
degenerate  death-throes  of  Louis 
XV.  The  populace  is  shaking  off 
the  weakened  royal  bonds.  It  was 
even  reported  that  a  Spring  Street 
Store  sold  a  summer  suit  last  week

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.

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

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-

Experimental  Theater 
To  Perform  'Volpone* 

The  curtain  of  the  Experimen- 
tal Theater  in  the  basement  of 
the  AMT  opened  last  night  for  a 
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. 

Under  the  direction  of  English 
Professor  J.  Clay  Hunt,  Tim  Tully 
'58,  plays  Volpone,  Tony  Distler 
'59,  his  servant.  E.  J.  Johnson  '59, 
John  Burghardt  '61,  and  Peter 
Schroeder  '58.  play  the  money-

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- 
volving labor  racketeering  and  fea-

an  instructional  part  of  the  sum-

Commenting  presumably  on  the 
abundance  of  museums,  libraries 
and  other  place.s  of  historical  and 
^cultural  interest  in  the  Washing- 
ton area,  one  of  the  interns  stat-

Mercer  Debate  Team 
To  Oppose  Williams 

The  Mercer  College  Conserva- 
tive Club  will  defend  segregation 
against  an  Adelphic  Union  debat- 
ing team  in  Jesup  Hall  March  18. 

The  southern  debaters  will  leave 
their  Macon,  Georgia  campus  to 
make  a  tour  of  New  England  col- 
leges, representing  the  Southern 
point  of  view  on  segregation.  They 
believe  that  northern  newspapers 
have  been  unfair  in  presenting  the 
problem,  and  have  resolved  to  de- 
bale  on  a  "tactual  rather  than  an 
emotional"  basis. 

Jim  Scott  '58,  and  John  Stru- 
Ihers  '59,  will  uphold  desegrega- 
tion. Comments  Scott,  "We,  too, 
are  willing  to  meet  them  with  a 
lactual  case  dealing  with- the  rule 
of  law  and  the  .sociological  facts 
of  life."

Phil  Department's 
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- 
bout  reality  whereas  informal  lo- 
gic is  required.  He  will  also  make 
some  comments  on  Professor 
Winch's  lecture,  "Some  Constmcts 
in  Physics." 

According  to  Meyers,  "By  re- 
freshing an  interest  in  informal 
logic  we  will  resurrect  problems 
which  formal  logicians  do  not 
think  are  worth  discussion."

Student  Profile 

Harpsichord-Builder  Ridgway  Banks 
Follows   Creative   Williams  Career 

VVillianis  senior  Ridgway  M.  Bunks,  who  constniclcd  tlu"  two- 
luaiiual  lianKjiic  liarpsicliord  played  in  Sunday's  Lawrence  Hall 
clianiher  inii.sic  concert,  has  found  an  outlet  lor  cicatixc  activity  at 
Williams. 

hollowing  a  honors  program  in  his  music  major.  Hanks  has 
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- 
duction of  Cliekhov's  "Three  Sis- 
ters." 

Banks  played  the  organ  In 
S'juth  Williamstown's  Congrega- 
tional Church  during  his  sopho- 
more year,  and  he  is  a  violinist 
in  the  Berkshire  Community 
Symphony  Orchestra.  His  lionors 
project:    a  sonata  for  clarinet. 

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-

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.

Whitney  Puts  In 
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.

set  the  pool  record  for  that  event. 
Alex  Reeves  also  set  an  Amherst

co-captain  Bob  Severance  in  the 
100  yard  butterfly   contest. 

Don  Lum  performed  well  for  the 
Purple  by  taking  two  firsts.  Lum 
won  both  the  220  yard  freestyle 
and  the  440  yard  freestyle  races. 
Tatem  also  tallied  five  points  for 
the  Ephs  by  winning  the  200  yard 
backstroke  contest. 

Coach  Bob  Muir's  6-1-1  record 
was  marred  only  by  a  45-45  tie 
with  the  University  of  Connecti-

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

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."

game  mixed  with  corner  shots  fol- 
lowed by  hard  down-the-line 
drives. 

Tom  Shulman,  bested  Vonclts,  a 
senior,  by  opposing  down-tlic- 
lines  and  cross  court  drives.  John 
Bowen  overcame  Don  Hicks,  Dave's 
brother,  as  Don  .showed  himself 
to  be  too  slow  for  Bowen's  speed. 
Thi.s  loss  was  Hicks'  first  to  Wil- 
liams in  either  tennis  or  squash. 
Pete  Beckwith,  at  number  six, 
downed  Maher  a  senior,  in  an  ex- 
citing match  in  which  Beckwith 
came  from  behind  in  the  first 
game  to  take  an  overtime  deci- 
sion from  the  left  hander. 

At  number  seven,  Ernie  Fleish- 
man lost  to  Harbach,  who  man- 
aged to  throw  off  Fleishman's 
timing  and  to  force  him  into  er- 
rors. Bill  Weaver,  losing  only  ten 
points  in  the  first  two  games,  de- 
feated Bates  quickly,  while  Chris 
Schaefer,  coming  back  strongly 
after  the  five  minute  rest  period, 
hammered  away  at  Pratt's  back- 
ha^id  and  gave  him  only  five 
points  in   taking  the  match. 

In  the  JV  matches,  the  varsity 
.score  was  repeated.  Bill  Miller,  in 
the  number  one  position,  lost  to 
Tulchin  in  three  games.  The  only 
other  three  game  matches  were 
won  by  Tom  White  and  Mike  Pen- 
ner,  eighth  and  ninth  on  the  lad- 
der, respectively.  Bill  Norris  and 
Chuck  Smith,  in  the  second  and 
third  slots,  both  went  into  five 
games  to  win,  Norris  coming  from 
behind  after  losing  the  first  game, 
to  take  a  close  match. 


GREG  TOBIN,  sophomore  ace, 
defeated  Amherst  second  man  in 
three  games. 

Jeffs  Squash  Frosh 

The  Freshman  Squash  team 
dropped  its  first  four  matches  as 
the  visitors,  Amherst,  walked  off 
with  a  6-3  victory  and  the  Little 
Three  championship  Saturday  af- 
ternoon. 

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

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.

last  week  for  the  fifteenth  annual

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.

In  a  meeting  Tuesdiiy  iiit^lit,  the  Social  Comioil  ricoiiiiiu'iidod 
to  tlif  Junior  Advisor  St'lcctioii  Coniniittcc  tliat  it  'maki'  c-vory 
effort  "to  choose  at  least  one  Junior  Adviser  from  each  of  the  fif- 
teen fraternities. 

hi  adoptinj^  the  resolution,  the  SC  moved  closer  to  endorse- 
ment  of  last  week's  Rkcohd  proposal  than  the  Colleirc  Coinicil, 
which  rejected  the  recominendation  Monday  nij^ht. 

At  least  two  of  the  dissenting 
voters,  Jerry  Packard  and  John 
Greer,  stated  that  they  voted  a- 
gainst  the  measure  because  they 
favored  more  unequivocal  action. 
There  were  three  negative  votes. 

The  Social  council  has  since  dis- 
patched in  a  letter  to  tlie  J.  A. 
Selection  Committee  the  following 
motion : 

"The  Social  Council  recommends 
that  the  selection  committee  con- 
tinue to  choose  Junior  Advisers 
primarily  on  a  merit  basis  and  at 
the  same  time  make  every  effort

Thaw  Won't  Halt 
N.  A.  Construction 

Recent  thaws  and  rains  will  not 
affect  the  flood  control  work  pro- 
ceeding near  Route  2  In  North 
Adams.  This  was  the  opinion  ex- 
pressed by  city  engineer  Theodore 
Milette  In  a  Thursday  RECORD 
interview.  The  $18,000,000  Feder- 
al Project  is  slated  for  partial 
completion  at  the  end  of  this  year, 
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."

While  the  Gul  staff  has  added

Bissonette  will  tell  of  his  ex- 
tensive travels  and  experiences  in 
Russia  during  his  stay  at  the  U.S. 
Embassy  in  Moscow. 

His  two  year  career  in  this  ca- 
pacity was  cut  short  in  1955  when 
he  was  ordered  to  leave  the  coun- 
try within  24  hours.  There  has  ne- 
ver been  official  explanation  of 
this  action  by  the  Soviet  Govern-

College  Support? 

In  a  RECORD  interview  Wed- 
nesday afternoon,  Co-Editor  Jack 
Hyland  '59,  bewailed  student  un- 
willingness to  buy  the  book.  "It's 
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- 
dent backing." 

Co-Editor  Mack  Hassler  '59, 
added  that  "given  the  problem  of 
weak  student  support,  the  only 
solution  to  tlie  book's  financial 
problems  which  would  serve  both 
college  and  yearbook  is  college 
subsidization." 


FORMER    CHAPLAIN 


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.

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD.  FRIDAY,  MARCH  7,  1958 


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 
the   Student   Activities   Council.

of  interest  as  well  as  top  scholars." 

Copeland  expressed  the  hope 
that  pressure  upon  college  admis- 
.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."

Cieorj^e  Will 


In  a  field  of  sixty  eompetitois,  representing  twenty  institutions  in  tlu 
Ollie  Stafford  upset  the  third  seeded  pla         "   ' 
which  he  howed  to  Smith-Chapman,  to| 
peting    on    the    Ephs'    four    man 
squad    with    Stafford    were    Greg 
Tobin,    Rog    Southall,    and    Tom 
Shulman.  Williams  will  take  pos- 
session of  the  trophy  which  Navy 
has  held  for  the  past  year. 

Though  last  year's  winner,  Ben 
Heckscher  of  Harvard,  has  grad- 
uated and  thus  could  not  compete, 
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- 
met of  Harvard,  and  Sonny  Howe 
from  Yale.  The  upper  bracket  was 
well  represented  by  Dick  Hoehn, 
squash  and  tennis  star  from  Dart- 
mouth, Larry  Sears  of  Harvard, 
iind  Ram.sey  Vehslage  of  Prince- 
ton. In  this  bracket  Sears  upset 
Hoihn  to  gain  the  finals.  He 
played  Chapman  at  3:00  Sunday

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

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,

'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 
when  they  emerged  from  the  pii)e  at  Boothbay  Harbor,  Maine, 
they  were  engaged. 

After  a  good  hot  bath  they  were  married  and  today  they  live 

in  Klamath  Falls,  Oregon,  where  Fafnir  is  in  the  weights  and 

measures  department  and  Mary  Alice  is  in  the  roofing  game. 

They  have  three  iliildren,  all  named  Norman.    «ig68.  M..8haio».

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

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

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  MARCH  12,  1958 


">«.       A.  n— 


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  -

fan.s  and  wrestlers  gave  him  a 
standing  ovation. 

In  other  events,  Wally  Matt  and 
Dave  Moore  placed  third,  and 
Kuhrt  Wieneke  took  fourth  in 
their  respective  divisions. 

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  MARCH  12,  1958 


News  Notes 


ITALIAN:  As  well  as  a  course 
in  elementary  Russian,  Italian  1- 
2  will  be  given  at  Williams  next 
year.  Italian  was  dropped  from 
the  college's  curriculum  in  1938- 
39  because  of  World  War  II. 

VISITORS:  Williams  freshmen 
and  sophomores  invited  twenty- 
seven  boys  from  the  Berkshire  In- 
dustrial Farm  to  the  college  Sat- 
urday. They  were  treated  to  din- 
ner and  movies,  and  they  swam 
in  the  college  pool.  The  Farm  is 
an  institution  for  boys  who  have 
had  a  "brush  with  the  law." 

OCTET:  Sophomore  singing 
group  "The  Overweight  Eight"  will 
give  a  concert  in  Montpelier,  Vt., 
Saturday.  Led  by  David  Paresky, 
they  evolved  from  last  year's  fresh- 
man group. 

EXHIBIT:  At  the  Lawrence  Art 
Museum  a  retrospective  exhibition 
of  John  Grillo's  paintings  until 
spring  vacation.  Grillo  has  been 
praised  as  a  fresh  talent,  daring 
and  experimental. 

DEBATES :  Forensically  out- 
standing in  the  quarter-final 
round  of  the  Stone  Interfraternity 
Debate  Contest  are  Phi  Sig  (last 
year's  winners).  Phi  Delt,  DU, 
DKE,  Zeta  Psi,  Theta  Delt,  AD 
and  Chi  Psi.  Debaters  in  the  quar- 
ters will  discuss  Eisenhower's  lead- 
ership and  admission  of  Red  Chi- 
na to  the  U.  N. 

SPRING  FEVER:  Students  tried 
un.sucessfully  to  send  a  kite  aloft 
into  gusty  March  winds  Friday 
near  Baxter  Hall.  The  abominable 
snow  man  looked  on  weakly  in  his 
statJ  of  black  unattractiveness.

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. 

Co-captain  Barry  Buckley  broke 
the  varsity  200  yard  orthodox 
breaststroke  record  in  the  qualifi- 


jockeyed  between  Brown  and  Wil- 


cation  heats  Friday  night,  while  li^^^.  ^p  ^^  t^e  last  length.  Ide

were  also  members  of  the  400  yard 
medley  relay  team  which  came 
from  behind  to  threaten  Brown's 
comfortable  lead  in  the  opening 
race  of  the  finals.

Alex  Reeves  and  Don  Lum  kept 
the  entire  audience  on  its  feet 
throughout  the  meet-deciding  e- 
vent  as  they  kept  their  strong  pace 
in  spite  of  their  fatigue  from  just- 
swum  races.  Severance  was  touch- 
ed out  at  the  finish  of  the  butter- 
fly by  record-holding  Chapman 
of  Brown  in  one  of  the  most  ex- 
citing races  of  the  day. 

Don  Lum  turned  in  his  best 
times  to  date  in  the  220  and  440 
yard  freestyle  events  to  take  close 
seconds  in  each,  upsetting  favor- 


lay  team  into  a  body-length  lead  I  ites  in  both  as  he  surged  to  the

"My  closest  shave  happened  under  water  while  baiting 
sharks  to  photograph,"  says  shark  expert  Elgin  Ciampi. 
"My  speared  bait-fish  hid  in  a  hole,  pouring  clouds  of 
blood  around  me.  Smelling  blood,  a  7-foot  man-eater, 
unable  to  find  the  bait,  rushed  me.  I  dodged  and  started 
taking  pictures.  I  kept  the  camera  between  us  while 
the  shark  circled  hungrily  for  five  full  minutes.  Then 
my  air  supply  ran  short,  so  I  used  psychology:  I  lunged 
at  the  shark  with  my  camera.  Startled,  he 
shot  away —  and  so  did  I !"

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-

has  developed  a  callous  disregard 
for  the  needs  and  rights  of  the 
small  minority  who  do  not  fit  the 
campus  norm  of  social  acceptabili- 
ty. 

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- 
tem can  be  so  reformed  as  to  em- 
ploy selectivity  in  the  positive 
sense  of  mutual  association,  while

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,

tion,  which  seems  to  have  bothered 
some  of  the  student  body,  we  feel  our 
protest  has  reality  on  the  WiUiams 
campus. 

The  point  remains,  we  feel,  that 
all  the  Hood  aspects  of  hrotherhoml 
within  a  fraternity  could  be  tiuiiti- 
tained  in  some  form  of  social  orffani- 
zation  without  "rushinf^."

'I'm  an  Equipment  Engineer  for  Illinois  Bell  Telephone  Company  in 
Chicago.  Speaking  personally,  I  find  Bell  Telephone  engineering 
darned  interesting  and  very  rewarding.    But  judge  for  yourself." 


"8:30  a.m.  We  start  at  my  desk.  I'm 
studying  recommendations  for  install- 
ing additional  dial  telephone  facilities 
at  the  central  olTice  in  suburban  Glen- 
view.  This  is  the  beginning  of  an  inter- 
esting new  engineering  assigiunent." 


"10:20  a.m.  I  discuss  a  proposed  lay- 
out for  the  additional  central  office 
equipment  with  Supervising  Engineer 
Sam  P.  Abate.  I'll  want  to  inspect  the 
installation  area  this  afternoon,  so  I 
telephone  the  garage  and  order  a  car." 


"1 1 :00  r>.m.  At  an  interdepartmental 
conference  I  help  plan  procedures  for 
another  job  that  I've  been  assigned. 
Working  closely  with  other  departments 
of  the  company  broadens  your  expe- 
rience and  know-how  tremendously." 


"2:00  p.m.  After  lunch  I  drive  out  to 
the  Glenview  office.  Here,  in  the  frame 
room,  I'm  checking  floor  space  re- 
quired by  the  proposed  equipment. 
Believe  me,  the  way  our  business  is 
growing,  every  square  foot  counts." 


"3:10  p.m.  Then  I  drive  over  to  the 
office  at  nearby  Skokie  where  a  recent 
engineering  assignment  of  mine  is  in 
its  final  stages.  Here  I'm  suggesting 
a  modification  to  the  Western  Elec- 
tric installation  foreman  on  the  job." 


"Well,  that  was  today.  Tomorrow  will  be  different.  As  you  can  see,  I  take  a 
job  from  the  beginning  and  follow  it  through.  Often  I  have  a  lot  of  jobs  in 
various  stages  at  the  same  time.  I  think  most  engineers  would  agree,  that 
keeps  work  interesting."

Awarded  Fellowships 

Dave  Phillips  has  received  the  Fraiieis  S.  llutcliius  Scholai- 
ship  and  Roy  Haivey  and  Chailie  Dew  liave  been  uwarded  fellow- 
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- 
operation Association. 

Tentative  interviews  are  In  order 
with  Gabriel  Houge,  Economic  Ad- 
visor to  the  President,  and  Justice 
Willam  Brennan  of  the  Supreme 
Court. 


Frosh  Council 

The  Freshman  Council  has 
voted  unanimously  to  accept 
full  responsibility  for  Spring 
Houseparty  weekend. 

President  Montgomery  said 
that  the  Council's  action  was 
prompted  by  a  desire  to  avert 
a  precedent  of  the  Houseparty 
Committee's  having  to  accept 
responsibility  for  the  promotion 
of  a  weekend  because  other 
campus  organizations  are  un- 
willing to  do  the  job.

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, 
Stalin  And  ChmcMl  In  World  War 

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 

See  Page  4,  Col.  2 


U.  S.  Asks  More 
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

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.

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.

Becket,  Wright,  Fisher  To  Compete 
In  Eastern  Amateur  Ski  Tourney 


Three  representatives  from  Wil- 
liams will  participate  this  weekend 
In  the  United  States'  Eastern 
Amateur  Ski  Association  downhill 
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.

Of  all  the  various  modes,  the 
team  scored  most  highly  in  the  sla- 
lom and  the  downhill.  At  Norwich, 
the  alpine  team  with  the  addition 
of  sophomore.  Bill  Judson,  was 
very  successful.  In  this  meet  Becket 
captured  second  place  in  the 
downhill.  At  the  Easterns,  Wright 
finished  tenth  in  the  .slalom.  Beck- 
et scored  in  the  first  ten  in  the 
downhill,  while  Fisher  cro.ssed  the 
line  about  fourteenth.

AD  Gains  Finals; 
Defeats  Greylock 
In  B-Ball  Contest 

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.

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- 
fair  to  catch  the  exact  meaning  of 
the  original  French.

Playfair  Lectures 
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."

SARTRE'S  HUGO  AND  HOEDEREIl 
The  paradox,  then  anguish  and  nausea 

—  Photo  by  Bradford 


Uirty     Hands" — a     blood-and-  i 
nuts   murder    play    by   Jean    Paul' 
K:uire — will    open    tonight    for    a  i 
Urcc-day  run  at  the  AMT.  It  is 
d  ;i>ci.ed  by  Giles  Playfair. 

A  dissident  faction  of  the  Com- 
munist Party  of  a  mythical  Cen- 
tral European  country  sends 
youns,  idealistic  HuKO  Barine 
'Played  by  Robert  Vail  '58 >  to 
shoot  party  boss  Hoederer  iBill 
I'Mgar  '59 1  who  is  negotiating  for 
a  compromise  with  the  nation's  li- 
b:-ial  and  cunseivaUve  parties. 

Inner    Struggle 

Hugo,  employed  as  Hoederer's 
secretary,  tries  again  and  again  to 
carry  out  his  mission.  He  is  frus- 
trated by  a  bomb  explosion,  by  his 
own  inner  struggles,  and  finally  by 
Hoederer's  persuasiveness. 

Toward  the  end  of  the  play, 
however,  Hugo's  wife  Jessica 
'Anne  Playfair)  complicates  the 
situation  in  a  rapid-fire  climax, 
and  the  play  ends  as  Hugo  affirms 
hi^  ability  to  become  the  Sartrian 
homme  sngage. 

Sartre's  brand  of  existentialism 
pirmcates  the  plot.  The  paradox 
ol  a  man's  attraction  toward  a 
vaaic-system  and  his  drive  to  re- 
viiit  against  it  hits  Hugo  with  an- 
.i'iiish  and  nausea. 


Kathy  Martin  plays  Olga,  who 
brings  Hugo  into  the  party,  edu- 
cates him,  and  tries  to  kill  him. 

John  Phillips  '60,  plays  tha  an-

son  of  the  Regent.  Pete  Tacy  '59, 
and  Bill  Baker  '60,  play  Hoederer's 
two  strong-arm  men.

Rushing  Revolt 
Strikes  Amherst 


Amherst  College,  plagued  with 
I'lshing  problems,  has  reduced  its 
finmal  rushing  period  to  four  days 
tliis  year  for  the  first   time, 

Tlie  faculty,  trustees,  and  the 
!-':aduate  -  undergraduate  House 
Management  Committee  have  au- 
iliorized  a  move  to  concentrate  the 
ni.shing  period  in  four  days  pre- 
'■'ding  spring  vacation.  They  aim 
•»  rninimize  "interference  with  the 
iicademic  program." 

In  an  attempt  to  reduce  "dirty 
ni.shing",  the  HMC  recently  put 
into  effect  a  new  rule  segregating 
freshmen  and  upperclass  dining 
halls  in  the  central  eating  facility. 
Valentine  Hall.  Pz'eshmen  and  up- 
Pevclassmen  are  also  forbidden  to 
sit  at  the  same  tables  in  the  snack 
bar. 

Student  reaction  to  this  action 
Friday  night  caused  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  freshmen  to  storm  the 
upperclass  dining  hall  and  to  place 
one  man  at  each  table  In  the  snack 
•'ar.  ignoring  the  segregation  rule 
in  that  area. 


Ultimaium  Issued 
To  Sign  Stealers 


Dean  'Vincent  M.  Barnett  has 
approved  a  recommendation  of  the 
student-faculty  Dtscipline  Com- 
mittee to  "campus"  any  student 
found  to  have  stolen  signs  of  any 
type  in  the  future. 

The  announcement  supplement- 
ed the  report  of  the  committee  by 
student  chairman  Hassler  '59.  at 
the  College  Council  dinner  meet- 
ing Monday  night  at  the  Dean's 
house.  Last  week,  the  committee 
discus.sed  the  case  of  three  sopho- 
mores who  had  stolen  signs,  but 
the  campusing  rule  was  not  en- 
forced because  sign  stealing  was 
thought  to  have  been  "quite  wide- 
spread" in  the  past. 

Otlier    Action 

HOUSEPARTIES  -  Chairman 
Fox  '61,  reported  that  four  fresh- 
man committees  have  been  estab- 
lished including  a  Weekend  Co- 
ordination group  designed  to  in- 
stitute original  ideas  and  to  give 
the  entire  weekend  a  to-be-desig- 
nated theme. 

CCF  -  RECORD  Business  Man- 
ager Tom  Piper  '59,  was  added  to 
the  membership  of  the  finance 
committee  as  a  non-voting  advi- 
sory member  because  of  his  ex- 
perience in  extra-curricular  fi- 
nance. Chairman  White  announc- 
ed that  the  proceeds  from  the  sale 
of  FM  radios  will  reduce  next 
year's  CCF  tax  by  15  cents  a  per- 
son. Original  tax  40  cents. 

CHAPEL  COMMITTEE  -  Edgar

student  opinion  would  be  circulat- 
ed on  the  chapel  issue  after  Spring 
holidays.  The  CC  established  April 
21  as  a  deadline  for  the  chapel  re- 
port.

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.

I'ine  attributed  to  Wiit^lit,  with  other  jirom- 
inent  I'diieatois.  the  c()mi)laint  that  "too  ninch 
emphasis  i.s  placed  upon  the  research  oi'  thesis 
side  of  the  Ph.  D."  and  that  ■the  Ph.  D.  pioij;ram 
is  often  too  liirid  and  rea;iniented". 

Ualph  Winch,  Professor  of  Plusics,  stated  that 
he  did  not  think  that  the  I'll.  D.,  as  a  leseareh 
decree,  "should  he  tampered  with",  lie  sii<j;t;ested 
that  an  alternate  device  shonki  he  established 
lor  persons  who  are  |>rimaiil\'  inti'restetl  in  teach- 
inir.  This  decree  would  base  e(|iial  status  with 
the  Ph.  1).,  but  would  concentrate  on  broad 
trainin<j;  h)r  teachers,  rather  than  on  si^ecific  re- 
seai'ch. 

Winch  .spent  loin-  \car.s  in  takiny;  a  Ph.  I),  in 
physics  from  the  L'iii\ersit\'  ol  Wiseonsin,  and 
lelt  that  his  trainintj;  was  \  er\'  "stiiiinlatinij;",  al- 
thoiiirh  perhaiis  not  direetK'  benelicial  to  his 
teachiiiti;  career. 

.\nsoii  Piper,  .Vssociatc  Prolessor  ol  Homaii- 
tic  Lanirnaiics,  agreed,  "on  the  whole",  with  the 
article. 

Pipei'  lelt  that  tlie  present  s\stem  was  ex- 
cellent lor  men  who  inteml  to  contiiine  in  the 
field  of  research,  but  that  it  was  niijnstilied  in 
teacher  preparation,  lie  proposed  that  two  routes 
toward  the  Ph.  13.  he  established:  the  thesis  route 
for  resi'arcli  seholors,  and  a  more  ireneral  route 
witli  less  minute  research  lor  prospective  tea- 
chers in  liberal  arts. 

Piper  spent  ei<i;ht  xcars,  also  at  Wisconsin, 
earning  a  Ph.  D.  in  the  field  of  Siiaiiish.  Me  felt 
tliat  the  tiiiu'  ]K'rliaps  could  ha\  e  been  better 
spent. 

Accdvrdlc  Edticalioii 

I'Vederick  L.  Schumaii,  Prolessor  of  Political 
Science,  felt  that  the  ]iroblem  of  the  length  of 
time  iiecessarv  to  obtain  a  Ph.  D.  conid  best  be 
solved  by  acci'leratini^  the  whole  proirram  of 
education.  Students,  be  said,  should  "beij;in  ear- 
lier and  work  harder". 

He  added  that  the  emphasis  on  'ori!j;inal  re- 
search" in  a  doctoral  thesis  is  "rather  inisjilaced", 
and  that  this  conld  be  one  of  the  causes  of  the 
delav.  Sehnman  took  a  Ph.  D.  in  political  science 
at  the  Unixersity  of  Cliicaffo.  spendint!;  oulv  three

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."

trial basketball  league  playoffs.  53-

"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.

ART  SHOW  -  Tao  Ho  '60,  of 
Hong  Kong  plans  a  one  man  art 
exhibit  in  ABC  room,  Baxter  Hall, 
April  5-12.  This  will  be  his  second 
Williams  exhibit  in  which  he  hopes 
to  show  the  ways  in  which  his  art 
courses  here  have  developed  his 
style  in   painting  and  design. 

"BALLYHOO"  -  The  third  an- 
nual student  musical  attracted 
ninety  persons  for  its  tryouts.  The 
show,  written  by  Robert  Vail  '58, 
and  directed  by  Peter  Culman  '59, 
will  revolve  around  the  theme  of 
a   traveling  tent  show.

Writing"  in  which  he  includes  rep- 
II  sentative  work  from  his  creative 
composition  courses. 

Ogilvie  states  that  Writing  "is 
offered  to  the  college  community 
in  the  absence  of  a  functioning  lit- 
erary magazine  both  for  its  intrin- 
sic interest  and  as  a  touchstone 
of  current  literary  activity  at  Wil-

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.

Superior  Students  Get 
Extended  Opportunites 

Plans  for  new  opportunities  for ',  American   education.    Among   the 
exceptional   students    at  Williams  leaders    has  been  Charles  Keller, 
College  in  1958-59  are  now   com- '  Brown  Professor  of  History, 
plete.  The  program  is   outlined  ini 
a  special  section  of  the  new  College 
Catalogue. 


Among  the  benefits  offered  are; 
advanced  placement  credit  for  sec- 
ondary school  work,  opportunity 
to  earn  a  degree  in  less  than  four 
years,  opportunity  to  take  honors 
seminars  in  the  sophomore  year, 
and  the  recently  developed  honors 
program. 

The  new  programs  have  been 
gradually  instituted  over  the  past 
few  years,  primarily  from  efforts 
of  several  Williams  faculty  mem- 


which  this  critic  would  raise  with  bers  vitally  concerned  with  current 


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

There  has  also  been,  he  stated, 
a  greater  piercing  of  the  "sheep- 
skin barrier"  between  grammar 
and  high  school  teachers  and  col-

"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 
G  get  on  the  stick  and  remove  the  remnants  of 
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.

CHEVY'S  NEW  V8  LEVELS 

THE  HIGHEST,  HARDEST 

HIGHWAY  OVER  THE  ANDES! 

To  prove  the  durability  of  Chev- 
rolet's radical  new  Turbo-Thrust 
V8,*  the  tremendous  flexibility  of 
the  new  Turboglide  transmission,* 
the  incredible  smoothness  of  Full 
Coil  suspension,  we  tacl^led  the  most 
challenging  transcontinental  rop'  in 
the  world  ~  the  1,000-mile  Gen^.  .1 
San  Martin  Highway.  To  make  it 
harder,  the  Automobile  Club  of 
Argentina  sealed  the  hood  shut  at 
Buenos  Aires  —  no  chance  to  add 
oil  or  water  or  adjust  carburetors 
for  high  altitude. 

So  the  run  began  —  across  the 
blazing  Argentine  pampas,  into  the 
ramparts  of  the  forbidding  Andes. 
Up  and  up  the  road  climbed,  almost 
2i  miles  in  the  sky!  Drivers 
gasped  for  oxygen  at  12,572  feet  — 
but  the  Turbo-Thrust  V8  never 
slackened  its  torrent  of  power,  the 
Full  Coil  springs  smothered  every 
bump,  the  Turboglide  transmission 
made  play  of  grades  up  to  30 
percent.  Then  a  plunge  to  the 
Pacific  at  Valparaiso,  Chile,  a 
quick  turn-around  and  back  again. 
Time  for  the  round  trip:  41  hours 
14  minutes  —  and  the  engine  was 
never  turned  off!

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.

Gargoyle  Sends 
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. 


Kenyon  Supports 
Individual  Rights 

Civil  liberties  and  the  privacy 
of  the  home  were  staunchly  de- 
fended as  Dorothy  Kenyon  dis- 
cussed "Wiretapping,  Bugging  and 
Other  Invasions  of  the  Home",  on 
Monday,  April  7. 

Miss  Kenyon,  a  lawyer  and  for- 
mer judge  of  the  Municipal  Coui't 
of  New  York  City,  introduced  her 
■subject  by  speaking  of  the  Fourth 
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.

in  the  Political  Science  depart- 
ment will  advance  views  on  the 
United  States'  foreign  policy  more 
on  the  line  of  John  Poster  Dulles 
and  other  Secretaries  of  State  who 
have  followed  a  stiffer  line  with 
regard  to  Moscow  and  have  eni- 
phasized  military  preparedness  In 
Europe.

Navy  Pilot  Killed 
.  Greylock 


n 


One  man  was  killed  and  another 
.severely  injured  as  a  Navy  plane 
slammed  into  Mt.  Greylock  on 
Wednesday  night. 

Killed  instantly  was  Lt.  Eugene 
B.  Ganley,  the  co-pilot.  Lt.  Ganley 
was  at  the  controls  of  the  twin- 
engine  Beechcraft  at  the  time  of 
the  crash.  Tlie  pilot,  Comdr.  Ro- 
bert D.  Vandenberg  was  rescued 
by  a  rope  thrown  to  him  from  a 
helicoptei'  21  hours  after  the 
crash. 

The  plane  was  reported  miss- 
ing en  route  from  Michigan  to 
Soutli  Weymouth,  Mass.  Its  last 
radio  contact  was  over  Albany.  The 
helicopter  that  rescued  the  pilot 
was  one  of  about  thirty  aircraft 
ssarching  for  the  missing  plane. 

The  plane,  heading  northeast, 
was  apparently  unable  to  avoid  the 
mountain  becauseof  poor  visibility. 
It  was  just  about  65  feet  short  of 
clearing  the  3,419  foot  peak,  the 
highest  in  Massachusetts.  A  Navy 
inquiry  team  is  investigating  the 
crash .

"Many  foreign  students  feel  that 
they  have  never  been  a  part  of 
thL'  Williams  Community.  This  is 
the  reason   I  am  concerned." 

Pending    Business 

The  special  meeting  held  a  week 
ago,  passed  unanimously  the 
freshman  plan  to  permit  all  sopho- 
mores to  drive  on  all  weekends 
with  parental  permission.  Chair- 
man Wif  Floyd  '61,  now  plans  to 
present  the  plan  to  the  faculty 
and  trustees. 

Also  passed  was  a  plan  to  spon- 
sor a  series  of  conferences  on  a 
current  topic  such  as  the  abolition 
of  nuclear  testing  by  the  United 
States.  The  committee  has  yet  to 
be  announced. 

President  Hyland  announced 
Monday  that  the  open  meeting  to 
consider  the  yearbook  finances 
had  been  postponed  until  April  14. 

The  April  2  meeting  approved 
the  selection  of  Bill  Tuach  '59,  as 
chairman  of  the  Career  Weekend 
Committee. 

Also  pending  action  is  a  report 
by  Ron  Stegall  '60,  recommending 
that  the  CC  become  a  member  of 
the  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION 
OF  STUDENT  COUNCILS. 


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

The  basis  of  this  |)roblem  is  the  basis  of  so 
many  problems  here:  not  enough  iiiteiest. 

Gajifoyle's  )jlan  to  correet  the  problem  is 
.sound:  .\  eommittee,  ie|)feseiitiu^  different  parts 
of  eollei^e  life,  to  form  a  link  between  students 
and  the  Admissions  Office. 


Tl\i()uij;h    the

committee  the  students— who 
students'  e.\]5enses— will  have  a 
voice  HI  selection.  Such  a  eommittee  would  also 
tiv  to  awaken  student  interest  in  the  foreign  stu- 
dents  here. 


The  foreign  student  is  an  im|-)ortaiit  ]5ers()n 
foi  the  twentieth  eentmy  American  to  know  and 
understand. 

Yet  a  committee  is  not  enough. 

The  problem  can  be  finally  solved  only  by 
the  students  themselves.  They  ninst  resi^ond  to 
the  committee's  efforts  to  awaken  interest. 

If  a  qiiormn  of  CC  members  was  not  interest- 
ed enough  in  the  ]5robleni  to  attend  a  meeting 
at  which  the  Gargo\lc  Plan  was  discussed,  we 
have  doubts  about  the  rest  of  the  college.

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-

any  objection  to  selectivity  on  the  |Kirt  of  the

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.

Medical  School 

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 
paration  (or  Harvard  Medical  School. 

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 
enough  .science  courses  c\eii  though  I  majored  in  |)oIitieal  ecoiio 
my,"  he  stated.  CJolberg  advi.sed  medical  .school  candidates  to  (!<. 
independent  honors  research  which  teaches  the  student  how  to 
tackle  an  indiyidual  prohleni.  Intellectual  matiiritx'  resulting  from 
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 
had  taken  more  .science  at  Williams."  Fearon  noted  his  adjiistuuni 
to  a  new  type  of  concentratetl  study  has  left  him  without  any  oiil 
side  interests. 

As  lor  the  army  and  pre-inedieal  .school  work  the  situation  i 
entirely  different  from  the  business  school:  it  is  difficult  to  gaii 
practical  experience  in  medicine  in  the  army  and  the  milit:uv""ol

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD.  WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  9,  1958 


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.

Debate  Team 
Takes  Second 

The  Adelphic  Union  team  plac- 
ed second  in  the  recent  Siena 
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 
I  Rochester),  and  Siena. 

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- 
nite improvement,  the  second 
time  out.  Eight  pitchers  made  the 
trip  and  from  these  Coombs  de- 
clined to  name  a  top  man  but 
said  his  number  one  pitcher  would 
come  fi-om  a  group  of  five  or  six

Golfers  Tie,  Drop 
One;  Outlook  Good 


The  Williams  Varsity  Golfers 
spent  their  first  five  days  of  prac- 
tice this  season  at  Pinehurst, 
North  Carolina  before  playing  two 
pre-season  matches.  Captain  John 
Boyd  and  Junior  Hans  Halligan 
were  the  two  leading  golfers. 

Making  the  southern  swing  for 
the  Ephmen  were  Boyd,  Halligan, 
Bob  Julius,  Harry  Love,  Mike  Bee- 
mer.  Bill  Tuach,  Pete  French,  Sam 
Davis  and  two  freshmen,  Sidney 
McKenzie,  and  Pete  Hager. 


Lacrosse  Loses  To  V 
And  L  On  Annual 


,  of  Virginia, 
Southern  Trip 


On  their  annual  practice  trip 
during  spring  vacation  the  varsity 
lacrosse  team  lost  games  to  Wash- 
nigton  and  Lee  and  the  University 
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. 

rVA   Game 

The  second  game  scheduled  for 
the  trip  was  against  UVA  at  Char- 
lottesville on  March  27.  From  the 
very  beginning  Williams  had  trou- 
ble clearing  the  ball  from  behind  ^  scrimmage  at  Amherst,  Mass.  a-

able  to  build  up  a  very  powerful  chusetts.  The  starting  lineup  will

Tobin,  Hirshman  Lead  Spring  Trip 
As  Tennis  Squad  Has  2-2  Record 


By  Bob  Pyle 

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. 
At  Charlottesville,  several  closely 
contested  matches  were  lost  as 
the  team  fell  6-3  to  U.  Va.  Tlie

much  stronger  with  the  addition 
of  last  year's  three  and  five  men, 
Dave  Leonard  and  Bob  Kingsbury, 
who  were  in  Bermuda. 

In  regular  .season  play  the  start-

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

batting  average  of  .203,  attributing 
the  weakness  at  the  plate  to  the 
lack  of  practice  the  Inadequate 
cage  affords.  Several  of  the  boys 
he  said  were  hitting  the  ball  hard, 
but  right  at  the  fielders. 

Coombs  will  go  along  with  the

for  the  present,  but  the  outfield 
is  a  tossup  among  several  candi-

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD.  WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  9,  1958 


Smith    Pageant 

"The  Angel  of  Hadley"  char- 
acterized in  Its  publicity  as  "a 
musical  legend"  is  to  be  pro- 
duced under  the  supervision  of 
Martha  Myers  at  Northampton 
High  School  April  16. 

Mrs.  Myers  is  the  wife  of  Pro- 
fessor Gerald  E.  Myers  i  phil- 
osophy). The  Myers'  found  the 
story  in  an  old  newspaper  and 
Mrs.  Myers  wrote  a  book  and 
lyrics  for  a  production  featur- 
ing her  Smith  College  dance 
students.  Music  is  by  Carol  Ro- 
gers '58. 

The  plot  concerns  two  Bri- 
tish officers  who  hid  in  a  local 
cellar  for  many  years  one  of 
whom  came  out  of  seclusion 
briefly  in  1675  (September)  to 
lead  the  townspeople  against 
the  Indians.  Legends  have 
characterized  this  deliverer  as 
an  Angel  of  God  and  a  bearded 
old  man.

When  you  walk  inside  it  is  en-

Williams'  main  contribution  to 
his  development?  "Here  more  pos- 
sibilities for  painting  have  been 
opened  up  for  me  by  class  exer- 
cises in  line,  form,  color,  space. 
Now  I'm  beginning  to  use  these 
ideas  In  art."

POSTER  PARENTS:  Sigma  Phi 
has  "adopted"  Chariklia  Sourya- 
daki,  a  15-year-old  Greek  girl, 
through  Foster  Parents  Plan,  Inc. 
They  will  contribute  $15  a  month 
toward  the  child's  support  for  at 
least  one  year. 

Chariklia  was  born  in  Crete, 
wheie  a  happy  family  life  was  dis- 
rupted with  the  German  occupa- 
tion in  1944. 

NEW  LOOK:  "Playboy"  has  an- 
nounced to  us  that  the  Ivy  Look 
-s  on  the  way  out.  In  standard 
..ladison  Avenue  jargon,  Fashion 
^;.\;ctor  Fred  Birmingham  quips 
that  "there  are  gentle  seismogra- 
lyiiic  rumblings  indicating  the  first 
cracking  in  the  Ivy  stratum."  Tak- 
mg  its  place  will  be  the  elegant, 
slim  Continental  style.  How  long 
will  it  last?  Says  Birmingham,  ob- 
viously needing  his  mid-morning 
.nartini-milltown  break:  "Fashion 
creates  its  own  obsolescence;  to- 
day's fine-feathered  friend  may 
well  turn  out  to  be  tomorrow's 
dodo." 

AMT:  "The  Importance  of  Be- 
mg  Earnest"  was  presented  Sat- 
urday by  Williams  actors  at  the 
Hillside  Junior  High  School  in 
Montclair,  N.  J.,  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Vassar  Schol:,rship  Fund.  This 
highly  stylized  Victorian  farce, 
starring  Tony  Distler  and  E.  J. 
Johnson,  was  presented  in  Decem- 
ber. It  will  be  revived  again  over 
graduation. 
HAPPY  BIRTHDAY:  The  2000th

dred Classicists  assembled  to  hear 
seventeen  talks,  ranging  from  the 
development  of  the  Roman  police 
to  June's  role  in  the  Aeneid.  The 
conclave  was  called  by  the  New 
England  Classical  Society  which 
elected  Williams  Professor  George 
M.  Harper,  Jr.,  president.

Hamilton  College  at  Clinton,

By  a  vote  of  12-7,  the  Student

all  freshmen  who  wish  to  join  fra-

The  final  day  in  Washins-ton 
was  the  most  active  and  iniiMest- 
ing,  according  to  mo.st  of  t^e 
twelve  students.  They  conlCn-ed 
with  former  Secretary  of  .state 
Dean  Acheson,  Senator  John  Ki'n. 
nedy,  (D-Mass.),  Senate  Mii.unty 
Leader  William  F.  Knowland  ir.

would  oppose  James  M,  Bums  of 
the  Williams  faculty  in  next  lair.s 
Congressional  elections  if  li.ans 
decides  to  run. 

Acheson   Top    Man 

The  general  consensus  of  n;)iii. 
ion  was  that  the  conference  dth 
Acheson  was  the  most  informative 
and  intei-esting  of  the  tour,  ihey 
spent  almost  two  hours  witli  the 
former  Secretary  in  his  law  offices, 
and  would  have  continued  talkme 
if  a  dinner  engagement  had  not 
called  away  the  delegation  fiom 
Williamstown. 

Important  members  of  the  M'  ad 
Fund  study  group  were  the  fonisn 
students  attending  Williams  who 
travelled  to  Washington  to  view 
the  American  government  in  ,ic- 
tion.  The  seniors  included  Warnev 
Kim,  of  Korea,  Warren  Hataiiioto 
of  Hawaii,  and  Kees  Veiheul  of

that  he  was  impressed  by  the  hiKh 
degree  of  scholarship  displayed  by 
the  Congressmen.

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."

sident of  Williams  from  1909  to 
1934  was  fuel  administrator  for

World  War.  Current  President, 
James  Phinney  Baxter  3rd  served 
on  three  war  commissions  from

Though  Burns,  Williams  profes-

lumnus  t^  Magna  Cum  Laude  '39)  is 
one  of  many  Williams  graduates 
to   enter    the   political   field. 

The  most  notable  politico  in  re- 
cent years  is  Herbert  H.  Lehman 
'99,  former  senator  from  New  York. 
If  Burns'  candidacy  is  successful, 
he  will  also  become  a  colleague  of 
David  Dennison  '40,  representative 
from  Ohio.

have  gone  to  Congress  number  79. 
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

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.

1)1/  Ted  Cusllc 
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.

Eph  Tennis  Squad  Opposes  Tigers 
In  Season's  First  Regular  Contest 

The  varsity  tcnni.s  team  will  meet  Princeton,  tomorrow  in  the 
iir.st  ref^ular  match  of  the  .season.  The  Princetonians,  hoasting  a 
strong,  deep  squad,  are  favored. 

Since  the  Ephs  did  not  play  Princeton  last  year,  their  com- 
plete lineup  is  not  known.  Among  the  opposition  is  likely  to  he 
an   ex-New   Jersey   junior   champ 


from  Coral  Gables,  Florida. 

Coach  Chaffee  will  rely  on  Cap- 
rain  Karl  Hirshman,  Tom  Shul- 
man,  Joe  Turner,  Ernie  Fleish- 
man, and  Greg  Tobin  for  the  Ephs.

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

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.

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD.  FRIDAY,  APRIL  11,  1958 


ACE  Calls  For  More 
Interest  In  "Eggheads' 

liicicasiiit,'  coiicc-rii  ovor  Aiuoiicaii  educatioii  has  stimulati'd 
a  growing  iiiti'ii'st  lor  iiitt'lli'ctual  effort  and  an  improved  attitude 
toward  "egglieads". 

Aceordiiig  to  a  recent  arfiele  in  the  New  York  "Times",  "A  con- 
certed I'ffort  is  dexcloping  to  make  tlie  American  piihhe  reahzc 
that  the  eggliead  may  l)e  a  key  man  in  the  fight  for  survival .  .  .  " 

The  article  referred  to  a  statement  from  the  American  Council 
on  Kducation  (ACJE)  which  called  foi-  the  public  to  place  a  greater 
value  on  intellectual  achie\tMne?it  and  to  ujihold  "higher  values  of 
educational  ]HMlornianci'' 


Parents'  Weekend 

Parents'  Weekend  will  be  the 
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. 

Stevenson   View 

A  little  more  than  a  week  ago 
Adlai  E.  Stevenson  joined  the 
drive  when  he  urged  that  the 
young  be  trained  to  look  upon  in- 
ttlligence  and  mental  capacity 
With  respect.  They  should  regard 
them  as  part  of  our  "natural  re- 
sources".

Chaplain  and  Mrs. 


Little  Three  students,  living  as 
■i  liey  do  in  an  "intellectual  atmcs- 
iihere  around  the  clock,"  naturally 
■AYC  deeply  concerned  with  the  in- 
lo-spsKtive,  soul-searching  quest 
:.]r  Truth.  Contemplation  is  a  pop- 
whir  sport,  and  every  student  is 
lised  with  the  "zeal  of  a  Sittian 
I  iimplileteer." 

Milk   Punch 

Mr.  Birmingham  doss  recall  one 
ii  lu.separty  when  the  fresh  Sun- 
i  .■,;,•  iiiorning  was  livened  by  a  milk 
i),arjh  bath  on  a  fraternity  lawn, 
l)ut  such  occurrences,  said  he,  are 
lare. 

Standards  are  high  in  the  Little 
I  liri'c.  Only  the  most  capable  are 
admitted,  and  numbers  are  small. 
This  is  in  no  wise  undemocratic, 
for  all  men  were  not  created  equal 
ill  brains. 

There  is  an  invigorating  "So- 
cratic  give  and  take"  between  fac- 
ulty and  student  not  to  be  found 
in  monolithic  universities. 

Informality 

The  general  character  of  the 
student  bodies  are  refreshingly  un- 
cluttered with  the  po.sh  cosmopoli- 
tanism of  the  Ivy  League.  Infor- 
mality is  the  rule;  a  date  is  given 
a  place  among  the  books  piled  on 
tlie  sofa  and  casually  handed  a 
iji'er  and  an  opener. 

There  is  a  warmth  and  deep,  a- 
iiiding  satisfaction  in  knowing  all 
one's  classmates  as  well  as  almost 
all  the  rest  of  the  student  body, 
in  contrast  to  Ivy  League  alumni 
who  vainly  search  the  football 
■tands  for  a  familiar  face. 

And,  above  all,  there  is  the  in- 
comparable thrill  of  being  greeted 
V  ith  a  hearty  "Hello,  Stephen"  by 
one's  old  college  president. 

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- 
cribed In  her  own  words:  poetry, 
she  .says,  "comes  into  and  steadies 
the  .soul,"  so  that  the  reader  feels 
himself  "a  life  prisoner,  but  re- 
conciled." 


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 


/;(/  Mock  llu.ssUr 

The  secret  of  who  fired  the  slioto;un  hiast  Saturday  nifrjit  into 
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

conference  on  problems  of  the  nu- 
clear age,  attended  by  major  po- 
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- 
nough  Toinette — Moliere's  ration- 
alist heroine. 

Hanse  'Van  Andel  is  very  pretty 
as  Argan's   marriagable  daughter.

the  obvious  in  farce-comedy. 

Outstanding  in  smaller  parts 
were  George  Brachfeld  as  Doctor 
Diafoirus  and  James  Morganstern 
as  M.  Purgon. 

Special  plaudits  should  go  to 
Rassi  Gifford  and  Joan  Grant  for 
the  truly  superb  costumes  and  to 
Joy  Dewey's  pantominists — whose

five  director.  The  company  will 
operate  in  the  Adams  Memorial 
Theatre  from  July  3  through  Au- 
gust 30. 

The  change  in  accent  resulted 
from  a  revised  policy  based  on  the 
experience  of  recent  years  when 
there  were  too  many  applicants 
to  screen  effectively.  This  year  ac- 
tors' agencies,  producers'  schools 
and  graduate  .school  officials  help- 
ed sift  early  applicants. 

The  number  of  actors  to  be  hir- 
ed depends  on  the  plays  which  are 
selected  after  current  negotiations 
have  been  completed.

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? 
Pleasant  dreams  . . .

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. 

Harrv  Ashbaugh  presented  (ieorge  F.  Kennan's  \ii'ws  on  in- 
existcnce  as  ex)iressed  in  his  r<-eent  publication,  Russia,  the  .Atom, 
and  the  West.  A  solution  to  the  satellite  problem,  Kcnnan  wrolr. 
de)iends  on  withdrawal  of  western  and  Soxiet  troojis  Irom  f'uropi' 
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.

Attacks  Incumbent 

Dining  the  few  months  prior  to 
la.st  week's  announcement  of  his 
(■;indidacy,  Burns  energetically 
!;iid  the  groundwork  for  a  hard- 
lutting  and  direct  campaign  with 
numerous  speaking  engagements 
and  forceful  verbal  attacks  on  the 
incumbent  Republican  John  Hes- 
clton. 

The  scene  of  hLs  headquarters 
;n  Williams  Hall  Annex  while  the 
announcements  of  his  candidacy 
were  being  prepared  for  the  press 
and  public  was  pervaded  by  a  spirit 
i)i  o|)tlmism  which  was  only  equal- 
led by  the  energy  of  his  staff. 


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.

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.

Lead  Stickers  In 
Scrimmage  Wins 


Scoring  41  points  in  two  scrim- 
mages last  week  the  Williams  la- 
crosse team  downed  the  Univer- 
ity  of  Massachusetts  and  the  Wil- 
liums  freshmen  by  20-1  and  21-4 
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.

Bad  weather  since  the  termina- 
tion of  spring  vacation  h"K  forced 
Golf  Coach  Dick  Baxter  to  go  a- 
long  with  a  squad  selected  pri- 
marily from  last  year's  varsity,  for 
next  Saturday's  triangular  match 
with  M.  I.  T.  and  Harvard. 

Due  to  the  impossibility  of  play- 
ing qualifying  matches  during  the 
past  week,  Baxter  will  field  a  first 
five  men  composed  of  Captain 
John  Boyd  in  the  number  one  po- 
sition followed  by  Hans  Halligan 
in  number  two  position  and  Rob 
Foster,  Sam  Davis  and  Bill  Tuach. 

The  last  three  will  be  placed  ac- 
cording to  their  performances  this 
week.  Pilling  out  the  squad  will 
be  the  top  two  men  of  a  threesome 
including  Mike  Beemer,  Bob  Juli- 
us, both  sophomores  and  Junior 
Doc  Johnson. 

Competition  for  future  matches 
will  be  held  this  week  as  the  last 
three  positions  on  the  squad  are 
still  unsettled.  As  the  course  is 
still  soft  the  long  hitters  like  John- 
son may  have  an  advantage  over 
the  boys  who  are  shorter  off  the 
tees.

Princeton  Dumps  Eph  Netmen  7-2; 
Tigers  Capture  Five  Of  Six  Singles 

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 
hard  courts.

In  a  recent  |)ublicatioii  eiititletl  "The  Supeiioi  Student,"  Iloheit 
K.  Bishop,  ail  assistant  dean  at  tlie  University  ol  reinisyK  aiiia,  has 
urittiMi  an  article  eoneernini^  the  need  lor  lionors  proj^ranis  sucli 
as  the  one  which  is  cnrrently  in  operation  at  WilHaais. 

Bishop  is  a  nienihi'r  of  the  newly  oramized  inter-University 
Committee  on  the  Superior  Stndent,  whicli  fuels  that  in  an  educa- 
tional system  which  is  devoted  to 


mass  production  ot  commonplace  I 
people,   the   more   sifted   students 
often  feel  and  are  neglected.  The  \ 
committee     desires     to     preserve ; 
quality,   and  not  merely  quantity  j 
of,   in  the  nation's  students.   The 
ultimate    intent    of   the    group   is  1 
establishment  of  honors  programs  | 
tor  superior  students  in  tax-sup- 
ported   universities    and    colleges 
throughout  the  country.  The  com- 
mittee is  tlie  outgrowth  of  a  meet- 
ing   last    June    attended   by    fifty 
educators  in  Boulder.  Colorado;  it 
is     being     financed    by     $125,000 
granted  by  the  Carnegie  Corpora- 
tion. 

The  article  continues  by  stating 
that  such  programs  in  American 
education  are  not  entirely  new. 
Wesleyan  University  established  an 
honors  course  in  1873.  By  1943, 
special  programs  existed  in  150  ot 
200  schools  approved  by  the  A.  A. 
U. 

The  committee  has  planned  to 
operate  an  information  service  on 
the  various  programs  available  to 
the   nation's  colleges.  It   will  also

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.

Stegall  To  Head 
Next  Year's  JAs 


Ron  Stegall  '60,  was  chosen  pre- 

M(l(!nt  of  next  year's  Junior  Advl- 

ors. 

In     a    meeting     held     Tuesday 

niaht  Ben  Schenk  was  also  elected 

\  ice-president. 

Stegall  won  a  close  race  for  the 
I'lesideiicy.  After  the  election  he 
;iid  that  "If  the  enthusiasm  of 
1;  e  thirty  guys  at  this  meeting  is 
i,  liicative  of  the  job  to  be  done 
!  I  xt  year,  it  ought  to  be  a  success- 
.ul  year."  Stegall,  experienced  in 
lii.'shman  affairs,  was  president  of 
lis  freshman  class. 

Schenk,  the  vice  president,  is  on 
1 1 16  RECORD  editorial  staff,  the 
tiophomore  Council,  and  was  chair- 
man of  Winter  Houseparty.  Both 
Schenk  and  Stegall  recognized  the 
"line  job"  this  year's  Junior, Ad- 
M.sers  have  done  and  are  hoping 
;u  work  closely  with  them  and  the 
present  freshman  class  to  "work 
(lilt  an  even  more  successful  pro- 
iir.tm  for  next  year." 

Jerry  Rardin  '58,  president  of 
this  year's  Junior  Advisers,  pre- 
.s.'.;ed  over  the  meeting.  He  told  the 
new  Junior  Advisers  of  their  du- 
ties and  his  experiences  as  a  J.  A. 
Dsan  Cole,  also  present  at  the 
meeting,  spoke  of  their  importance 
as  a  liaison  between  the  adminis- 
tration and  the  freshman  class. 
He  stressed  the  Junior  Advisers' 
importance  during  the  freshmen's 
first  few  months  of  adjustment  to

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

( 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 
'29,  vice-president  of  the  Illinois 
Bell  Telephone  Company  and  a 
member  of  the  Office  of  Defense 
Mobilization, 


ence  in  New  Hayen  and  Mrs.  Cof- 
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.

Spring  Breezes  Visit  Williamstown; 
Fairly  Normal  Reactions  Observed 


The  balmy  brcszes  which  have

prematurely  have  left  the  villagers 
confused. 

A  heretofore  reliable  yet  uncon-

of  sand,  salt,  shovels,  and  snow- 
plows  at  bargain  basement  prices. 
Several  pessimistic  Spring  Street 
merchants  have  tendered  bids. 

Police  have  observed  an  unusual 
amount  of  traffic  on  all  roads 
leading  out  of  the  village.  After 
extensive  investigation,  including 
questioning  several  members  of  the 
Bennington  student  body,  law  en- 
forcement officers  have  proclaim- 
ed that  spring  is  officially  here!  . . .

Two  Students  Admit 
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. 


nearly  as  well,  though.)  A  Wil- 
liamstown housewife  amused  a 
more  perceptive  neighbor,  when 
she  ran  into  her  house  screaming 
she  had  seen  a  huge  hairy  beast 
wearing  saddle  shoes  and  Bermu- 
-da  shorts. 

NorSh  Adatns  flood  control  pro- 
ject'is  a  success!  Three  unidenti- 
fied f-  idents  were  last  seen  float- 
ing down  Cole  Avenue  when  N. 
A.'s  controlled"  water  caused  a 
flash  flood  on  Cole  Field.  Wil- 
liamstown may  build  a  dam. 

The  ear-pleasing  .sounds  of  Wil- 
liamstown's  fire  warning  has  been 
heard  more  frequently.  The  shiny 
red  fire  engine  has  been  scaring 
the  wits  out  of  pedestrians  who  are 
so  unfortunate  as  to  be  gracing 
the  corner  of  Main  and  South 
Streets  at  the  appropriate  times. 
Fire-chasing  ha.s  become  a  popular 
pastime. 

It  is  often  said  in  Vermont  that 
spring  makes  the  sap  run  . . .

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.

ACADEMIC  BATTLE 

To  the  RECORD: 

Sir— An  eminent  educational  authority  states 
the  USA  will  never  com|5ete  on  a  comfortable 
footing  with  the  So\iet  Union  in  education  until 
we  accord  the  stime  money,  respect,  and  prestige 
to  a  Phi  Beta  Kap|xi,  we  do  to  a  fViothall  star. 

Granting  for  arguments'  sake  his  premise  is 
correct,  is  that  anv  chance  whatsoever  of  effect- 
ing such  an  exi3losi\e  about  face'P 

If  so,  how'P 

As  the  campus  is  the  arena  where  these  two 
|iotential  will  battle  it  out,  1  am  sending  this 
incpiiry  to  a  few  selected  college  ]iapers  in  the 
hope  publication  will  spark  lea!  and  iielpfnl  dis- 
cussion. 

Some  side  light— if  we  lose  this  modern  Ar- 
mageddon (tiie  battle  of  the  classroom  with  the 
Soviet  Union),  we  shall  lose  all  that  free  men 
cherish. 

Finally— an  AH  American  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
team  would  he  a  landmark  on  tiie  road  to  \  ictory; 
is  it  a  foreseeahle  possibility?  How  about  the; 
RECORD  picking  tiie  team?

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,     ,       .

THE  POSTMAN  COMETH 

I  have  recently  received  sevenil  letters  from  renders  which 
have  heon  so  interesting,  so  j)i(]iiant,  so  je  ne  sais  qiioi,  that  I 
feel  I  must  sliare  them  with  all  of  you.  The  letters  and  my 
replies  follow: 
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. 
Dr.  Norbert  Wgafoos,  the  eminent  ingrown  spleen  ^urgeon,  Wius 
scheduler  to'' operate,  but  unfortunately  lie  •w!jfi^:|T]n  over  by 
a  hot-food  cart  on  the  way  to  the  scrubbing  room. 


"Oh,  never  mind,"  chuckled  Dad  (my  father).  "Hariow  (me) 
will  (ix  Sister  (my  sister)." 

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, 

-^      „    ,  Harlow  Protein 

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. 

Just  yesterday -thirty  years  later,  mark  you!-I  went  fish- 
mg  m  Widgiwagan.    I  caught  a  four-pound  bass.    I  took  the 
fisn  linmo,  cut  it  open,  and  what  do  you  think  I  found  insideT 
You  guessed  itl  Two  tickets  to  the  Dempsey-Firpo  fight.

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.

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-

Varsity  Track  Faces 
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

version  of  "And  God  Created 
Women"  will  play  for  dateless 
undergrads  for  four  days  start-

story?

The  film  version  of  Dostoev-

The  politics  behind  Hitler's

less  supernatural.  In  1933  all  other 
alternatives  had  failed:  Hitler's 
was  the  only  dynamic  policy, 
riiough  he  had  appeals  for  speci-

class  lines  to  such  higher  instincts 
as  patriotism,  morality,  selfless-

Pearl  Elected 
IRC  President 


The  International  Relations 
Club  chose  Bob  Pearl  '59,  president 
in  a  meeting  last  week.  Steve  Ross 
'59,  was  elected  vice-president. 
Bob  Charles  '61,  and  Wayne  Wil- 
liams '60,  secretaries,  and  Paul 
Solomon  '60,  treasurer. 

The  club,  suffering  from  lack  of 
interest  on  campus,  has  made 
plans  with  Harvard,  Smith,  Dart- 
mouth, Radcliffe  and  Connecticut 
College  to  build  up  regional  organi- 
zation. Williams,  which  is  taking 
the  lead  in  developing  regional  co- 
operation, will  participate  in  a 
conference  in  Cambridge  next  fall. 

During  spring  vacation  outgoing 
president  Abdul  Wohabe  '59,  Pearl

IN  THE  TWENTIES,  up-to-date  college 
gals  wore  raccoon  coats,  danced  the 
Charleston  and  smoked  Luckies. 
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 
is  a  Dapper  Flapper!  And  by  George, 
the  boy  friend  who  sports  'em,  too,  is 
a  Couth  Youth!  Prediction:  In  the 
1980's,  raccoon  coats,  the  Charleston 
and  light,  good-tasting  tobacco  will 
still  be  in  style!

DEFENSEMAN  GRAY 

"Conserve,    not   destroy." 

may  be  able  to  communicate  to 
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.

!      'lit. 

I'lie  lecture  was  sponsored  by 
David  W.  Sterling  Memorial 
I  lid,  established  in  memoi-y  of 
1  late  President  of  the  Class  of 
David  W.  Sterling.  The  inten- 
1  11  of  the  fund  is  to  promote  ex- 
!■  .inge  of  ideas  on  a   broad   phil- 

0  ophical  basi.s  with  respect  to 
I !  ;■  relationship  of  Man  to  him- 
.'.    1.  to  God,  and  society. 

Mr.  Gray,  Director  of  the  Office 
li     Defense   Mobilization,   pointed 

1  ,1  that  the  responsibilities  and 
P<  iblems    of  his   office   are   many 

II  a   nuclear  age.   He    stated,   "I 

no  other  basis  for  any   other 

N  ijiposition  that  Ru.s-sia  has  any 
I  lier  intention  than  world  domi- 
iiilion  by  whatever  means." 

Technological  Acceleration 

Due  to  technological  accelera- 
linn  in  weapon  power,  such  as  nu- 
clear missiles  and  the  hydrogen 
Immb.  Mr.  Gray  pointed  out  that 
I  111-  whole  character  of  war  and 
dilHomacy  has  been  chanKcd.  How- 
ever, deterrent,  the  arms  race 
must  be  continued  and  defense 
methods  provided,  as  very  real  and 
necessary  negative  measures. 

There  is  need  for  a  social  break- 
through also.  Mr.  Gray  emphasiz- 
•  d  President  Eisenhower's  state- 
ment, "In  the  last  analysis,  we 
have  positive  .security  only  through 
positive  peace."  Living  conditions, 
mutual  understanding,  and  rela- 
tionships within  society  need  im- 
IH'ovement. 

O.    D,  M.'s  Aim 

"Our  aim  is  to  conserve,  not  to 
destroy,"  Mr.  Gray  stressed.  The 
O.  D.  M.  is  responsible  for  the 
piotection  of  the  population  from 
I'lidioactive  effects,  protection  of 
industrial  areas,  maintenance  of 
I'lonomic  system,  and  management

B  And  M  Announces 
Cut  In  Area  Service 

The    Boston    and    Maine    Rail- 

■  lid  will  halt  three  of  its  regular 
'  ains     to     Williamstown     within 

■liity  days. 

Two  westbound  trains  -will  be 
'  inpped,  those  which  arrive  at 
-orth  Adams  from  Boston  at  12:20 
>  >  ekday  afternoons  and  3:27  in  the 
iaorning  every  day.  The  eastbound 
'  iiin  which  leaves  North  Adams  at 
■'05  in  the  morning  -weekdays  will 

■  iso  be  cut.  In  addition,  the  east- 
'">und  train  which  now  leaves 
North  Adams  at  1:40  P.  M.  will  be 
I'lit  on  a  weekday  schedule  instead 
"f  its  present  seven  days  a  week. 

Tlie  Massachusetts  Department 
"f  Public  Utilities  has  permitted 
'lie  slash  in  service  to  help  alle- 
viate the  "critical"  condition  with 
which  the  railroad  is  faced.  In 
eutting  the  three  trains,  the  rail- 
'oad  anounced  that  it  had  been 
losing  over  a  million  dollars  a 
month  by  continuing  service  for 
«  greatly  diminished  group  of  cus- 
tomers. In  addition  to  the  three 
trains  which  will  be  taken  away 
from  this  area,  the  railroad  will 
also  cut  more  than  lOO  trains  In 
other  districts. 


Coffin   Incident  Closed 
By  Expulsion   Of    Two 

The  two  students  who  attack- 
ed Chaplain  Coffin's  home  with 
a  shotgun  last  Saturday  night 
have  been  expelled  from  the  col- 
lege. 

After  a  brief  review  of  the 
case,  the  Student-Faculty  Dis- 
-■ipline  Committee  recommended 
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.

^Ballyhoo'  Production  Utilizes  Many 
Talents;  Cast  To  Make  Recordings 

"Ballyhoo",  the  all-college  musical,  is  an  undertaking  which 
extends  considcrahly  outside  the  college  itself. 

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 
costumer  of  AMT  productions.  She 
is  assisted  by  several  faculty  wives 
and   Mrs.  Rick  DriscoU. 

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 
the  AMT,  and  William  J.  Martin, 
drama  lecturer,  are  acting  as  ad- 
visors to  the  production. 

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". 


Parties^  Ads^   Gul  Get 
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).

Marshard's  Band,  Campus  Carnival 
Featured  For  Spring  Houseparties 


"If  the  weather  holds,  if  enough 
guys  have  dates,  and  if  Harry  Mar- 
shard's  band  is  as  good  as  his  ad- 
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- 
ordinator for  spring  houseparties, 
May  2,  3,  and  4. 

This  weekend  is  the  first  in  re- 
cent years  to  be  run  and  organiz-

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.

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.

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- 
fers  imder  the  onus  of  being  an  .'\mherst  grad- 
uate. Despite  this  misfortune,  Mr.  David  heartily 
agrees  in  regard  to  trademarks.

Baxter  Talks  On  Atomic  Age  Policy 

1)1/  Tobi/  Smith 

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  :'.(■. 
lore  tlu-  entl  of  the  war  we  were  limited  by  the  amount  of  ,^. 
sionahle  material  and  only  had  produced  three  A-bombs  ii  or 
to  the  [apanese  surrentler.  Since  the  wai'  inaniiim  has  beci  m. 
<|uite  abundant. 

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 
sv'stem  along  with  the  speeih'd  development  ol  om'  own  air  fdi  ,' 
'I'he  intercontini'iital  missile  has  almost  doubled  the  sdain  on  (  in- 
economy. 

President  Ba.xter  pointed  out  that  the  Russians  in  aelnalil\  In 
not  have  an  ICBM  as  the  Kremlin  wonki  have  iis  believe  bu(  |l  ,  \ 
are  ahead  ol  us.  The  present  domestic  tension  has  (o  do  wid,  d,,. 
level  ol  stontiimi  90  in  the  atmosphere  and  one's  piiiximilv  {<•  a 
strategic  target.  Jn  one  of  his  light  moments  Baxter  noted  tlia'  if 
a  missile  were  to  land  on  Weslovei-  Aii-  Base,  Amheist  would  In  in 
the  crater. 

Fall  out,  in  President  Baxtei's  minil  does  not  constitnh  a 
tlireat  to  our  life  as  yet  and  he  commenled  Imther  that  there  \',  is 
not  enough  fissionable  maleiial  in  the  woild  lo  blow  up  the  eailli. 

The  cm-rent  situation  in  liiissia  aceoiding  to  our  best  intelli- 
gence reports  is  that  the  Soviet  (vonomv  is  feeling  the  stiain  of 
the  cold  war.  Wheieas  their  gross  national  |)i-oduet  is  onlv  'iic 
third  of  ours,  they  do  not  have  to  respond  lo  eonsnmei'  demand 

America's  present  |)oliev  ttivvarils  Russia  and  her  salellilcs  is 
the  concept  of  the  deterrent  war.  Previously  the  defense  svsh m 
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. 
II  the  U.  S.  bteomes  committed  (o  a  vvoild  wide  Tiinnan  Ddi- 
trine,  then  the  Hussians  can  stait  a  vv;u-  in  the  most  difficult  spot 
for  us.  Iheir  snpeiioritv  in  ground  lorces  will  give  them  a  gic.il 
advantage.  .\  deteirenee  poliev  is  fine  savs  Baxtei'.  if  il  works  hut 
it  is  on  the  other  hand  expensive  and   lheoretie;il. 

Piesident  Haxtei'  does  not  advocate  the  suspension  of  tests 
at  this  time.  The  eontinuance  ol  tests,  however,  brings  up  the 
i|iiestioii  ol  whether  we  want  clean  or  dirty  bombs.  CJlean  wai- 
heads  may  be  most  nselnl  in  anti-missile  missiles  whereas  diil\' 
bombs  are  the  onlv  practical   ollensive  weapons. 

Baxter  concluded  on  an  optimistic  note  about  the  rel;iti\c 
stiengths  ol  the  two  gieat  poweis  and  adv  iseil  the  avoiding  of  aii\' 
summit  conferences  at  this  time.

ed his  winniuK  ways  for  Williams 
in  intercolleaiate  sailing.  Last 
weekend  Sykes  placed  first  in  the 
"C"  division  of  the  New  England

This  puts  the  Eplunen  in  th;'  fi- 
nals to  be  held  in  two  weeks  at 
Brown. 

Sykes.  with  liis  crew  Charlie 
Dana,  previously  had  led  the

ecticut Valley  Championsliips  at  i 
New  London.  The  Eliminations  1 
were  sailed  in  the  Brown  Yacht 
Club's  Bartlett  dinyhies  at  Pro- 
vidence. 

Williams  comiiiled  a  score  of  29 
points  for  the  five  races  and  were 
followed     by     Boston     University,  j 
RISD,      Providence     and     Tufts.  I 
Sunday   Sykes   and  Dana  teamed  i 
up    with    Jim    Skinner    and    Van  I 
Archer  to  take  a  second  place  in ' 
a    regional    freshman    event    fol-

Ephs  Top  MIT;  Lose  To  Harvard 


In  a  triangular  match  hi  Wa- 
terlown,  Mass.,  against  Harvard 
and  MIT,  the  Williams  varsity 
golf  team  lost  a  close  match  to  the 
Crimson,  3-4  and  easily  beat  MIT, 
5-2.  High  point  of  the  day  was 
Rob  Foster's  hole-in-one  on  the 
tliiid  hole  of  the  Oakley  Country 
Club  Course. 

Ilavnig  lost  last  year  to  Har- 
vard, Coach  Richard  Baxter's  golf- 


ers had  a  good  chance  of  winning 
this  year.  Hampered  in  part  by  the 
unfamiliar  course  and  hard  turf, 
the  match  was  nevertheless  ex- 
tremely close.  Hans  Halligan, 
playing  for  the  first  time  at  num-

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.

Discipline  and  Honor  System 
Chairman  Hassler  '59,  reported 
that  his  committee  was  not  iu  fa- 
vor of  including  written  work  done 
outside  of  class  (research  papers) 
under  the  honor  system  pledge.  He 
stated,  however,  that  the  Commit- 
tee was  in  favor  of  amending  the 
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.

Hassler  also  reported  that  the

fin house  shooting  had  been  ex-

about  $5,000  will  be  used  to  finance 
this  construction,  along  with  some 
augmentation  from  the  college. 


Four  Editors  Resign 

In  protest  to  restrictions  of 
their  editorial  freedom,  four  ed- 
itors of  the  Brooklyn  College 
"Kingsman"  have  resigned  from 
their  posts. 

Their  action  came  after  Pres- 
ident Harry  Gideonse  reported- 
ly shackled  the  paper  by  order- 
ing it  to  give  space  to  points  of 
view  opposing  those  of  the  edi- 
torial board  and  to  "invite"  its 
faculty  advisor  to  every  meet- 
ing of  tlie  board.  The  Presi- 
dent's action  is  said  to  have  fol-

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:  "  .  .  . 
if  you  care  about  higher  education, 
you  must  care  not  only  about  stu- 
dents but  also  about  teachers  . . .

one  is  to  light  up  a  Lucky.  It's  best  mostly  because  a 
Lucky  tastes  best.  A  Lucky  gives  you  naturally  light,

better.  Why  settle  for  less?  You'll  say  a  light  smoke's  the

ihc  tenth  row  eenter  of  a  theater. 

The  stereophonie  effect  is  achieved  by  playing  back  a  stereo 
tape,  which  has  two  sound  tracks  recorded  by  two  microphones.

lic:  from  the  two  speakers  adds 
depth  anu  dimension  to  the  music. 

Since  WMS  is  piped  to  the 
dorms  through  the  college  elec- 
trical system,  the  stereophonic 
.sound  is  at  present  only  available 
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 
i.i  obtained. 

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."

By  a  vote  of  8-4,  the  College

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?

Xliu  Williams  Pre.shman  lacrosse 
team  opened  their  1958  season  on 
a  Uibilant  note  as  they  thrashed 
Ml.  Hermon  16-4  Wednesday  af- 
ternoon on  a  soggy  Cole  Field. 

Ij  ading  individual  scorers  were 
Bill  Whiteford.  with  four  eoals

an Duened  the  scoring  with  early 
fiist  period  goals,  followed  by  tal- 
lies by  midfielders.  Jack  Wads- 
worili  and  Wendell  Poppy.  The 
Eph    stickmen    then    added    four 


more  to  their  total  in  the  second

The  Mt.  Hermonites,  led  by 
Vaughn,  slipped  four  goals  by  the 
Williams  defense  in  the  first  two 
periods,  but  the  end  of  the  second 
period  marked  the  end  of  their 
scoring  as  alert  iTioalie,  Pete  Stan- 
ton, kept  their  score  static  from

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.

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD.  FRIDAY,  APRIL  25,  1958 


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.

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.

He's  well  aware  that  it's  toasted  to  taste  even  better.

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-

Crampton  '58  Awarded 
Fulbright   Scholarship 

Stuart  ].  B.  Ciam])ton  '58,  has  just  been  awarded  a  Fulbris^ht 
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- 
sic. For  three  years  he  has  played 
alto  sax  In  the  Purple  Knights 
dance  band  of  which  he  was  twice 
president.  He  has  participated  In

the  football  band  for  four  years 
and  has  served  two  terms  on  the 
S.  A.  C.  Crampton  is  a  member  of 
Sigma  Phi. 

Crampton's  future  plans  include 
obtaining  a  Ph.  D.  in  physics,  the 
subject  he  hopes  to  teach  at  the 
university  level. 


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.

SADLY 

Any  .system  ol  crime  ami  puiii.siiineiit  is  dif- 
ficult to  iiiaiiitaiii,  es|KcuUiy  wiieii  tlioso  who 
make  and  eiituice  tlie  laws  art'  most  directly  ef- 
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.

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 

C'hapel  has  likewise  become  almost  chronic.  We  dispute  lu c's 

right  not  to  believe;  we  only  ask  that  those  for  whom  the  sei  \  kc 
is  merely  an  attendance  credit  observe  eoinmon  respect  hir  liirir 
fellow  students  who  look  u|)on  it  as  an  expression  of  faith.

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 
Favor  Fraternities 

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.

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD.  WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  30,  1958 


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.  

Ttie  meet  was  decided  in  the 
last  event,  the  220  low  hm'dles 
Schweighauser  going  after  his 
third  win  of  the  day  broke  the 
string  easily  with  Bob  Hatcher 
taking  second  to  sew  up  the  meet 


Eph  Msters  Crush  R.  P.  /.,  9-0; 
North  Carolina  Match  Rained  Out 


In  addition  to  his  low  hurdle  vic- 
tory Schweighauser  won  the  high 
hurdles,  broad  jump,  and  finish- 
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- 
as finished  behind  Schoeller  im- 
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 
of  the  ailing  Chip  Ide.  George 
Sudduth  improved  his  previous 
week's  time  in  the  half  mile  grab- 
bing first  place  with  a  blistering 
1.59  clocking.

TOM  SHULMAN,  three  year 
veteran,  and  number  two  man  on 
the  Eph  squad. 

The  varsity  tennis  team,  play- 
ing Its  first  match  on  home  courts, 
defeated  R.P.I,  last  Tliursday  by 
a  9-0  score.  Only  three  sets  were 
dropped  as  the  Ephs  repeated  last 
year's  triumph. 

On  a  cold,  somewhat  windy  af- 
ternoon. Captain  Karl  Hirshman 
set  the  pace  by  defeating  no.  1 
Fred  Gallas,  7-5,  1-6,  6-2.  "Hie

Golfers  Win  Two;  B.  C.  Bows  6-1; 
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.

The  varsity  baseball  team  drop-

weekend  as  it  absorbed  a  9-4  de- 
feat Friday  against  Dartmouth 
and  a  6-3  loss  to  Wesleyan  on  Sat-

Vn.  v7ith  one  out  Fred  Stone

to  give  the  Dartmouth  Indians  the 
9-4  d:cis:on.  With  the  score  5-4 
relief  pitcher  Bob  Bucher  gave  up 
three  bases  on  balls  and  two  hits 
giving  Dartmouth  a  runaway  vic- 
tory. Back  to  back  singles  by 
Kaufman  and  Otis  broke  the  three 
to  three  deadlock  in  the  fourth 
and  a  double  to  left  by  Marshal 
brought  in  Otis  with  the  eventful 
winning  run.

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. 

Coach  Jim  Ostendarp  stated  af- 
ter the  game  that  he  is  going  to 
work  with  his  first  defense  of

THE  WILLIAMS   RECORD.  WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  30,  1958 


"Overweight  Eight"  Creates  Good  Will  For  William; 
Soph  Group  Hopes  To  Build  A  "Singing  Tradition" 

The  Overweight  Eight,  Williams'  sojihotnore  octet,  added  another  to  its  series  of  triumphs  at 
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-

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.

didn't  want  to  "outstay  their  wel-

songs  which  have  been  heard  be- 
fore. 

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 
inactive  after  the  members  joined 
fraternities.  "Most  of  the  credit 
for  our  success  should  go  to  Dave

Possibly  the  most  exciting  win 
of  the  day  was  produced  by  Don

Joe  Courtier  started  the  race  for

early  lead.  Suddenly  Courtier 
sprained  his  ankle  and  Brayton

came  from  behind  to  pull  the  race 
out.  Coach  Plansky  has  tabbed 
Brayton  as  a  top  prospect  for

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 
Policy,  anywhere,  we  will  seriously

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 
world  that  we  Intend  to  keep  our 
promises  under  the  Truman  doc- 
trine.

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-

New  York  Central  Railroad.

Saturday 

Early  Saturday  evening  the 
frosh  quad  will  be  iniiaculously 
transformed  into  a  carnival 
grounds,  with  freshman  entries 
and  fraternities  sponsoring  booths 
to  challenge  and  amaze  all.  An 
inter-class  bicycle  race  will  be 
the  main  attraction,  along  with  a 
strength  tester,  a  miniature  golf 
course,  a  rat  race,  and  sundry 
other  delights. 


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.

Sports     Corner 

by  Sam  Parkhill 
Surveying  the  sports  picture  this  weekend,  it  becomes  an 
paiciit  that  at  least  two  teams  liave  the  opportunity  to  show  that 
,1„.\'  belonj;  in  the  select  group  of  undefeated  teams  at  Williams 
On  iM-iday  the  track  team  takes  on  Amherst  for  the  Little  Three 
Championship,  while  on  Saturday  the  lacrosse  team  plays  a  high 
l^  rated  Dartmouth  team.  Neither  game  is  the  last  of  the  season 
|„i  cither  (•lub,  but  we  would  venture  to  predict  that  wins  this 
uvckeiid  would  virtually  assure  clean  slates  in  both  sports 

The  showing  of  the  track  team  against  Wesleyan  last  Friday 
and  HPl  on  Tuesday  gives  evidence  that  there  is  little  to  worry 
ab.Kit  from  Amherst.  With  four  men.  Hatcher,  Ide,  Schoeller  and 
Scl.weighauser,  certain  to  amass  forty  points  between  them  and 
Hiil  Fox  a  sure  first  in  the  440  it  looks  like  a  tough  combination  to 
bcitt. 

l3artniouth  should  provide  considerable  opposition  for  the 
Stic  krnen  and  no  doubt  will  'hang'  one  or  two  men  on  Soph  Georee 
li,,\nton.  ^ 

A  win  for  the  lacrosse  team  over  the  Indians  would  not  only 
them  a  victory  over  the  best  team  on  their  schedule  but 
(■  that  dieir  defense  has  jelled  enough  to  take  anything  else 
ly  run  into.  Desjnte  the  weak  opposition  in  the  first  two  games 
il  was  ajiparcnt  that  the  team  would  have  to  be  able  to  clear  the 
1,1  i  I  better  against  a  strong  attack  such  as  Dartmouth.  Ability  to 
(1(>  Ihis  on  Saturday  and  subse()uently  against  Yale,  New  Harnp- 
sliiic,  Harvard  and  Amherst  should  allow  Coach  Ostendarp  to  go 
01 1 1  as  he  came  in,  undefeated.

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.

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. 
The  freshmen  will  travel  to  Deer- 
field  for  their  next  meet  on  May 
7.

Tennis  Team  Trounces  Vfest  Point 
For  Second  Victory  In  Succession 

The  varsity  tenuis  team  continued  its  winning  streak  Wed- 
nesday by  defeatinf^  a  comparatively  weak  Army  team,  7-2,  at 
West  Point.  Only  the  first  singles  and  the  first  doubles  matches 
lost. 

At  first  singles,  Ca]7t.  George  Huff  of  Army  defeated  Hirsh- 
man,  6-1,  6-0.  The  Williams  player  could  not  keej)  the  ball  going, 
hitting  long  over  the  baseline  or  into  the  net.  In  the  number  2  spot, 
Tom   Shuhnan  won  from  Don   Williams,   Army's  intercollegiate 

squash    star,    6-3,    6-4.    Shulman 


This  has  worked  both  for  and 
against  Williams  but  against  in 
two  out  of  the  three  most  impor- 
tant matches. 

Williams  lost  to  Harvard  on  a 
strange  and  short  course  outside 
Boston.  They  beat  a  favored  Bos- 
ton College  at  home  after  B.  C. 
had    beaten     Harvard. 

Hans  Halligan  lost  a  close  match 
to  George  Allen  of  Colgate  3  and 
2  but  shot  a  74.  Rob  Poster  and 
Mike  Beemer  both  lost  by  the 
same  score  while  Sam  Davis  was 
edged  out  by  one  hole.

Holiday  To  Feature 
Dixieland  By  ^Five' 


ILLUSTRIOUS   FIVE 

the  hartwarming  gospel  of  jazz 


After  its  feature  role  in  the  com- 
ing Houseparty  Weekend,  tiie  Il- 
lustrious Phinney's  Favorite  Five 
will  be  nearing  the  end  of  a  dis- 
tinguished career. 

The  Five  has  been  preaching  the 
gospel  of  college  jazz  for  the  last 
four  years  to  enthusiastic  congre- 
gations throughout  the  East.  Be- 
sides playing  practically  every  col- 
lege within  reach,  it  has  "warmed 
the  hearts  of  the  faithful"  at  the 
Biltmore  and  Statler  Hotels  and 
in  Jimmy  Ryan's  in  New  York  and, 
for  the  last  two  spring  vacations, 
at  the  Elbow  Beach  Surf  Club  in 
Bermuda.  Three  members  of  the 
band  played  for  music-hungry 
crowds  throughout  Europe  last 
summer  as  part  of  the  College 
All-Stars. 

The  jazz  of  the  group  is  dy- 
namic. Under  the  leadership  of 
Freddy  Clifford  '58,  and  his  tuba, 
the  playing  of  Bob  Ritter  '57,  cor- 
onet, Spence  Jones  '58,  trombone, 
and  Bob  Kingsbury  '58,  clarinet, 
is  balanced  against  the  rhythmic

year  for  some  of  the  group,  it  is 
likely  that  Phinney's  Favorite  Five 
will  continue  operations  in  the  fu- 
ture. 

Tom  Hayne  noted,  "We  favor 
the  swinging,  two-beat  style  of 
dixieland,  mixing  the  flavor  of 
both  the  Chicago  and  New  Or- 
leans schools,  though  we  do  use 
a  driving,  four-beat  Jazz  when 
the  occasion  arises."

Freshman  Baseball  Win* 
Racquetmen   Defeated 


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.

ing of  Sam  Weaver  and  Jim  V  i  ick 
the  freshman  baseball  team  de- 
feated Worcester  Academy  kj  to 
4   Wednesday  at  the   loser'.s   find 

This  victory  places  the  n  rord 
of  the  Frosh  at  two  wins  and  no 
losses. 

Played  on  an  extremely  inuidy 
field,  the  game  saw  few  i  ,iia 
biuse  hits,  although  the  Ephs  <ol- 
lected  twelve  safeties   in  all 

Weaver  started  for  Williams 
and  pitched  the  first  5  and  one- 
third  innings,  allowing  two  liits 
and  three  runs.  Prick  relieved  liim 
in  the  sixth  inning  and  finished 
the  game,  allowing  no  hits  md 
one  run. 

The  summary  of  the  game :  Wil- 
liams -  10  runs,  12  hits,  2  enois. 
Worcester  Academy  -  4  runs,  2 
hits,  3  errors.

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.

Amherst  Poll  Urges  Continued  Nuclear  Tests; 
Cites  Danger  Of  Fallout  And  Sneak  Attack 


After  a  course  of  three  lectures 
by  authorities  in  international  re- 
lations, nuclear  physics,  and  gen- 
etics, the  student  body  of  Am- 
herst has  expressed  basic  approval 
of  the  administration's  policies  in 
the  difficult  problem  on  nuclear 
testing. 

As  seen  in  a  long  article  In  the 
"Amherst  Student",  the  real  point 
of  this  question  lies  in  the  power 
of  fear  of  genetic  mutations  and 
radiation  diseases  against  the  po-

ouiuoor  recreation  on  Saturday 
ail  ;  Sunday  the  revelers  were  for- 
cei!  to  use  their  imagination  for 
inc  or  entertainment.  Two  hou- 
ses reported  a  large  amount  of 
mcii-y  stolen  from  the  houses  and 
th<  '•■■  guests.  Two  $400.00  cameras

ion dark  room  during  the  weekend 
by  some  prankster. 

I  iie  receivers  of  the  pay-phones 
I'l  Williams  Hall  were  torn  off  by

Pi'f  hman  reported  that  his  Lam- 
biciia  had  been  thrown  down  a 
fl't'lU,  of  stairs  during  the  week- 
end festivities.  One  date  suffered 
a  fractured  leg  while  participating 
111  liouseparty  recreation.  The  rear 
Window  of  a  car  was  also  smash- 
ed in  during  the  fun. 

Tlie  finishing  touch  was  the 
demolition  and  incineration  of  an 
aiilnmobile  in  the  middle  of  the 
Pifshman  quad  Sunday  afternoon. 
Tlie  efforts  of  the  Williamstown 
fire  Department  to  douse  the  blaze 
and  water  down  the  pools  of  gas- 
oline were  greeted  with  cheers 
fi'om  the  onlooking  crowd. 

The  rain  washed  out  the  Fresh- 
men's  plans   to   have   a   carnival 


Saturday  evening,  but  chairman 
Whif  Floyd  said  that  he  hoped  to 
be  able  to  hold  the  carnival  this 
Saturday  for  parent's  weekend. 
The  minature  golf  course  was  the 
sole  exhibit  to  survive  the  mon- 
soons and  will  be  open  to  the  pub- 
lic during  the  week. 

The  student  musical,  Ballyhoo, 
played  to  a  standing-room  crowd 
over  the  weekend.  The  producers 
announced  that  the  hi-fi  record-

with  the  student  audience.

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- 
ning for  Congress,  and  Samuel 
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. 


Vail  Receives  Prize 

Robert  F.  Vail,  Jr.,  '58,  was 
presented  the  Gilbert  W.  Gab- 
riel award  for  outstanding  con- 
tributions to  Williams  drama- 
tics by  President  James  P.  Bax- 
ter 3rd  following  Saturday 
night's  performance  of  "Bal-

Vail  has  contributed  to  over 
a  dozen  plays  at  Williams  since 
his  sophomore  year,  culminat- 
ing in  his  dual  role  as  writer- 
director  of  the  musical.  Past 
president  of  Cap  and  Bells,  he

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

GRADUATE 
THEN  FLY 


The  Air  Force  pilot  or  navigator  is  a  man  of 
many  talents.  He  is,  first  of  all,  a  master  of 
the  air— and  no  finer  exists.  In  addition,  he 
has  a  firm  background  in  engineering,  elec- 
tronics, astro-navigation  and  allied  fields. 
Then,  too,  he  must  show  outstanding  quali- 
ties of  Initiative,  leadership  and  self-reliance. 
He  is,  in  short,  a  man  eminently  prepared  for 


an  important  career  in  the  new  Age  of  Space. 
As  a  college  graduate,  you  will  be  given 
priority  consideration  for  the  Air  Force 
Aviation  Cadet  Program.  While  openings  are 
limited,  you  will  be  tested  and  advised  imme- 
diately of  qualification  status.  Find  out  if  you

dumped  in  four  goals,  and  Tim

added  eight  a-s.sists  to  tha  cause, 
bringing  his  three-game  total  to 
.wenty-thrce  in  this  department. 
Williams  out-maneuvered  the

Too  Many  i'^naities 

In  a  game  marred  by  sixteen 
penalties,  Williams  was  often 
playing  with  one  or  more  men  in 
:he  penalty  box.  This  gave  the 
visitors  a  chance  to  stay  even 
with  the  Ephs,  but  a  strong  out- 
burst in  the  second  and  third 
periods  assured  victory  for  the 
freshmen. 

Tlie   real    test    will    come    next 
Saturday  as  the  Frosh  face  highly-

of  the  season  to  lead  the  team

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.

vate  contributions  to  college 
jvel  education  have  shown  an  in- 
crease of  102  per  cent  over  1955 
.lecording  to  a  survey  quoted  in 
Che  New  York  "Times".  The  total 
contribution  to  the  910  institutions 
included  in  the  sm'vey  was  $833, 
000,  000. 

The  report  stated  that  similar 
donations  are  expected  to  double 
in  the  next  five  to  six  years.  Nev- 
ertheless, college  and  university 
expenses  shall  increase  even  more 
in  the  same  period  due  to  rising 
enrollments  and  other  factors. 

An  important  point  was  brought 
out  by  the  fact  that  sixty-five  ma-

This  possible  trend  may  play 
an  important  part  in  deempha-

American  education.  Although  no 
immediate  expansion  is  forseen, 
it  is  still  difficult  for  a  small  col-

Oriental  Ideals^   lvalues 
Clash    With  Occidental 


3R^^xrfi 


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.

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

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.

tors will  be  dropping  at  speeds 
over  100  miles  an  hour. 

The  Sky  Diving  Club  is  in  no

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.

part from  the  Berkshires  within  a 
month,  the  Williams  campus  will 
be  active  throughout  the  summer. 

For  the  second  year,  two  groups 
of  150  bankers  will  attend  a  two 
week  program  of  lectures  and  dis- 
cussions designed  to  broaden  ban- 
kers' horizons.

starters  will   reside   on  campus. 

Telephone  Executives 

Beginning  June  29,  the  Ameri- 
can Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Corp.  will  put  its  executives

Economy   Forum 

The  Connecticut  Valley  Econom- 
ic A.ssociation,  representing  nine- 
teen colleges  from  the  Northeast, 
will  hold  its  semi-annual  meeting 
at  Williams  on  Saturday. 

The  meeting  will  be  held  in  an 
informal  style  and  is  the  first  of 
the  association's  to  take  place  on 
the  Williams  campus  in  the  last 
five  years. 

Dr.  Alexander  Eckstein  of  the 
Russian  -Research  Center  of  Har-

more  serious  has  been  the  severe 
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

witnessed    "Ballyhoo".     "Purther-

Placement  Office 
Beats  Job  Slump 

Although  the  recession  is  hit- 
ting the  North  Adams-Adams  area 
hard.  College  Placement  Director 
Manton  Copeland  reports  that  the 
situation  at  the  Placement  offic4 
has  improved  over  last  year.  i 

This  year  104  fu-ms  out  of  th^ 

129  that  registered  have  sent  rep-; 
resentatives  to  Williams.  At  thl^ 
time  last  year  103  interviewers  vi- 
sited  Williams  out  of   a  total  of 

130  registrants.  Roughly  75  offers 
have  been  made  to  prospective 
graduates. 

Copeland  is  optimistic  a^»out  the 
future  with  bookings  of  firms  more 
numerous  than  last  year's  total  at 
this  date.  Copeland  commented, 
"Williams  is  coming  out  of  it  a 
lot  better  than  other  schools,  be- 
cause of  the  higher  caliber  of  the 
Williams  graduate,  and  his  more 
serious  minded,  better  preparation 
for  the  Interview."       -■

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."

We  want  to  thank  the  fans  who  stuck  by 
us  in  the  Dartmouth  game  Saturday,  through

We  hope  we  can  continue  to  deserve  this  sup-

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 
the  present  system  has  not  had  a  "fair  chance".  How  much  more 
fair  chance  can  any  system  have  than  the  caliber  of  men  on  la^t 
year's  committee? 

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 
their  heads.  It  is  not  tlie  individuals  but  the  system  itself  thai  is  at 
fault.

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

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.

Baseball  Rained  Out 

The  varsity  and  freshman 
baseball  games  'scheduled  for 
Wednesday  May  7,  with  the 
University  of  Massachusetts 
were  cancelled  due  to  wet 
grounds.  In  an  effort  to  beat 
the  inclement  weather  which 
has  plagued  western  Mass.  for 
over  a  week  both  squads  made 
the  trip  to  Amherst  only  to  i 
find  the  grounds  unplayable. 
The  teams  will  attempt  to  go 
again  on  Saturday  in  away  Lit- 
tle Three  contests.  The  frosh 
are  at  Middletown  and  the  var- 
sity at  Amherst.

With  the  loss  of  their  captain 
John  Boyd  and  the  absence  of 
sophomore  star  Bob  Julius,  the 
Eph  golfers  found  it  impossible 
to  overcome  Dartmouth's  power  as 
they  dropped  their  third  match  of 
the  year  5-2  at  Hanover  Tuesday. 

Five  of  the  Williams  team  shot 
in  the  70's  on  the  par  70  course 
but  only  Hans  Halligan  and  Rob 
Poster  were  able  to  pull  out  wins. 
Their  medal  scores  were  74  and  76 
respectively.  Sam  Davis  also 
brought  in  a  76,  while  Bill  Tuach 
and  Mike  Beemer  followed  with  78 
and  79.  Low  scorer  for  the  Indians 
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 
defense  of  the  New  England  Title 
in  Burlington,  Vermont.

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.

Playfair  staunchly  defends  his

It  does.  Fine  rooms,  and  spacious.  And  not  a  speck

of  Mae.  She's  forever  vacuuming  the  deep-pile  car- 
pets, fluffing  the  feather  pillows,  adjusting  the  un-

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." 

Disinterest  Hurts

lulilor's  iVotc:  Tlii.t  is  the  hist  in  u 
scries  ()/  ticd  artich's  im  tlic  pwhh'iii.s 
liiccil  hij  the  (lireetor.s  of  the  Aihnn.s 
\l('iii(irial  Theiiire  am!  Cap  iniil  Hells. 

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."

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. 


Baxter  Appointed 
Commission  Head 

President  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd, 
has  been  appointed  active  chair- 
man of  the  Massachusetts  Theo- 
dore Roosevelt  Centennial  Com- 
mission, Governor  Poster  Furculo 
announced  appointment  of  the 
commission  Friday, 

The  group  of  fourteen  will  su- 
pervise arrangements  for  the 
state's  centennial  celebration  of 
Theodore  Roosevelt's  birth  to  be 
held  throughout  the  country  la- 
ter this  year. 

Massachusetts'  special  concern 
with  Roosevelt  stems  from  the 
fact  that  he  was  an  undergraduate 
at  Harvard  University,  Cambridge. 

Furculo  is  honorary  chairman 
of  the  state  centennial  celebra- 
tion. 


'Holiday'  Editor 
Lectures  Tonight 

Ted  Patrick,  editor  of  "Holiday" 
magazine,  in  which  appeared  the 
recent  story  on  the  Little  Three, 
will  speak  in  Jesup  Wednesday  at 
8  p.m. 

The  May  issue  of  "Holiday"  in- 
cluded an  article  on  the  Little 
Three  colleges  by  Stephen  Bir- 
mingham '50.  The  article  elicited 
much  criticism.  In  the  words  of 
the  RECORD  reviewer,  "His  im- 
pressions of  what  we  know  of  Wil- 
liams and  the  Little  Three  are 
largely  fantasy  ..." 

Patrick,  editor  of  "Holiday" 
since  1946,  will  discuss  "Where 
Writing  Starts,"  A  former  mem- 
ber of  the  advertising  firm  of 
Young  and  Rubicam,  he  has  been 
a  vice-president  of  Compton  Ad- 
vertising in  charge  of  copy  and 
art. 

Once  a  semi-pro  baseball  play- 
er. Patrick  has  been  a  newspaper- 
man   and    writer.    During    World 
War   II   he   headed   the  Graphics, 
Section  of  the  Office  of  War  In-  | 
formation,    which    controlled    all 
printed   material.   He   also  helped 
set     up     Psychological     Warfare!

Highlighting  the  sun-splashed 
Parents'  weekend,  speakers  at  the 
Fourth  Parents'  Day  Program  Sat- 
urday morning  discussed  the  pro- 
blems of  education  in  the  "Iron

CC  Calls  Referendum 
On  Rushing  Processes 

A  rcforenduin  on  tlie  controversial  proposal  to  liaxc  socrt'taries 
replace  Rushing  Committee  nucleus  in  tlie  carcl-sortini»  i^rocess  of 
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  high  quality  of  the  1958  yearbook,  which  appeared  last

truly  a  superior  job.  ,.        «-, 

New  features  are  imaginative  and  appeahnj^.  Croup  pictmcs 
-always  somewhat  uninteresting-are  avoided  wheiiever  possihjc. 
Campus  organizations  are  .shown  "in  action":  the  (X)  at  a  iiieetini; 
the  fA's  at  iM-eshman  Dean  Cole's  house,  the  RECORD  staff  in 
its  office.  And  the  miniature  composites  used  in  the  Irate  - 
section  were  an  excellent  idea. 

Variety  is  gi\-i 

of  seniors  "in  actio..    ^ -, 

veiior  award)  among  the  individual  ])()rtraits. 

The  faculty  section-with  iiihii  iiuil  shots  of  each  faculty  nieni- 
ber  and  straightforward  notes  on  each  one's  aeademic  haekgronml 
—is  far  superior  to  any  this  re  \  iewer  has  seen  in  Cnl's  ol  the  pa^l. 
Sports  are  also  given  full,  rich  antl  interesting  eo\crage. 

The  photography  on  the  whole  is  excellent,  especially  llic 
large  photographs  at  the  beginning  of  each  section.  Some  \i\uAti- 
graphs  show  real  camera  art  (like  "Will  it  eome  down?"  in  ihc 
soccer  section),  others  (like  the  shot  of  the  Amber.st-ganie  jjicss 
box)  are  excellent  photo-joiirnalisin.  The  ii.se  ol  a  color  |)ietnic, 
however-though  pretty-seems  somewhat  iiniieeessarv  to  this  re- 
viewer. 

The  writing-not  unilorni  in  style-is  in  places  unimaginative, 
often  too  uncritical  (all  the  fraternities,  it  seems  had  a  "haiiiur 
year"  in  1958).  Yet  some  (the  C:C  article,  the  story  on  Zeta  Psi) 
is  intelligent,  and  the  |)oem-dedicalioii  to  Williams  1958  is  in- 
teresting. 

The  main  feature  of  this  yearbook— and  tlii.s  should  be  the 
main  feature  of  any  good  yearbook— is  its  thorough  coverage  dI 
life  at  Williams— from  pep  rallies  to  snow  on  trees,  from  the  Collei^c 
Council  to  the  i)arachute  club. 

Only  two  parts  of  the  book  could  have  been  changed  to  tlic 
Cul's  advantage:  The  memorials  to  Mair  and  Talmadge  slioiild 
not  have  Iseen  put  at  the  very  end  of  the  hook,  and  freshnun 
should  not  have  been  seiiarated  in  their  own  section  Iroiii  the  res! 
of  the  students.  In  this  way  they  are  too  isolated  from  the  rest  nl 
the  college.

Wesleyan  Varsity 

A  weak  Wesleyan  tennis  team 
was  subdued  7-2  last  Saturday, 
as  the  varsity  moved  ahead  in  the 
annual  Little  Three  playoffs.  Two 
matches  were  lost  to  Alan  Roberts, 
National  Boy.s  and  National  Jun- 
ior champion. 

Hirshman  served  and  hit  well 
against  Roberts,  but  the  latters 
experience  plus  his  beautiful  use 
of  the  offensive  lob  and  drop  shot 
and  his  all-around  game,  told  the 
difference  of  a  6-0,  6-3  score.

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.

AMT 


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  afternoon  will  feat\i 
Skifflers  in  a  concert  and 
sing  on  Commons  lawn  fi 
by  an  evening  square  dance 
lawn.  The  Daly  Trio  will  ;

Chemical  progress  is  autoclaves,  test  tubes,  distillation  towers 
.  .  .  hydrocarbons,  heterocyclic  compounds  .  .  .  processes, 
polymerizations,  products. 

But  mostly,  chemical  progress  is  thinking  . .  .  men  think- 
ing. Little  men,  big  men,  medium  size  men  ...  in  lab  coats, 
business  suits,  overalls ...  all  of  them,  always,  thinking. 

Thinking  up  new  products  .  . .  new  ways  to  make  chem- 
icals and  new  ways  to  use  them.  Thinking  up  more  comfort, 
more  convenience,  better  health,  for  everyone. 

Always,  the  old  things  have  to  be  improved,  and  the  new 


things  have  to  be  proved.  It  takes  more  thinking.  The  think- 
ing never  stops.  And  so  chemical  progress  never  stops.  It's 
that  way  at  Koppers. 


You  can  be  one  of  these  men,  think- 
ing. You  can  create  some  of  the  chem- 
ical progress  that's  made  at  Koppers. 
The  products  are  many  ...  the  oppor- 
tunities myriad.  Consider  a  career

Greylock  Picnic 
Set  For  Sunday 

The  Annual  Student-Faculty 
picnic  will  take  place  on  Mt.  Grey- 
luck  Sunday.  Cars  will  leave  Cha- 
Pin  Hall  at  12:30. 

The  Outing  Club  has  planned  a 
number  of  events  calculated  to 
<:li.illenge  the  skill  and  capacity 
"t  participants.  Beer  chugging, 
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 
by  the  Outing  Club  In  1953.  Tra- 
ditionally, the  students  come  out

to 
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- 
ment, 


drive."   "This  is  not   a  static  or- 
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.

Douglas  To  Speak  In  Burns^  Behali 
At  Jefferson-Jackson  Day  Dinner 

Senator  Paul  A.  Douglas,  Democrat  of  Illinois,  will  speak  on 
behalf  of  Democratic  Congressional  candidate  James  M.  Burns, 
at  a  Jeffcrsou-]ackson  Day  dinner  sponsored  by  the  Berkshire 
County  Democratic  Committee  on 


May  31,  in  Lenox,  Massachusetts. 

Senator  Douglas  will  stress  the 
problems  of  the  current  recession 
which  is  in  keeping  with  Burns' 
active  anti-recession  campaign. 
Douglas,  having  been  a  professor 
of  economics  at  the  University  of 
Chicago,  is  particularly  qualified 
for  this  topic.  Recently  Douglas 
has  taken  the  lead  in  the  Senate 
recession  legislation  and  has  been 
the  author  of  a  "redevelopment 
bill"  tailored  for  the  needs  of 
towns  like  Adams,  Massachusetts. 

Prior  to  the  Douglas  speech. 
Professor  Burns  will  be  honored 
at  a  "Campaign  Kickoff  Smoker" 
to  be  given  by  the  North  Adams 
Friends  of  Jim  Burns,  Friday,  May 
23,  at  the  Eagles  Lodge  in  North 
Adams. 

Speaking  at  the  Smoker  will  be 
James  L.  O'Dea,  Jr.,  District  At- 
torney of  Middlesex  County  where 
Burns  grew  up.  The  smoker  is  one 
of  a  series  of  rallies  planned  for 
the  early  and  late  summer. 

Burns  is  actively  preparing  for 
his  summer  campaigning  in  his  at- 
tempt to  unseat  incumbent  John 
W.  Heselton. 


Williams  To  Receive 
Cluett  Home,  Grounds 

A  land  grant,  a  gift  of  the  home 
of  the  late  George  Alfred  Cluett 
'96,  has  been  given  to  Williams 
College. 

The  property  consists  of  a  large 
house  and  several  other  buildings 
together  with  178  acres  of  land 
near  the  Taconic  Golf  Course. 

Cluett  served  for  eleven  years 
as  Trustee  of  the  college  and  was 
the  former  president  of  Cluett  and 
Peabody  of  Ti-oy,  New  York.  The 
gift  was  made  by  Cluett's  four  sur- 
viving children  and  includes  a 
sum  for  the  maintenance  of  the 
property. 

"This  splendid  gift,"  said  Pre- 
sident Baxter,  "is  of  great  im- 
portance for  the  future  of  the 
college "  In  hoping  to  use  the 
land  for  faculty  home  sites,  Bax- 
ter expressed  his  belief  that  the 
grant  would  contribute  greatly  to 
the  ability  of  the  college  to  hold 
and  attract  outstanding  teachers.

the  most  original  and  provocative 
painters  of  his  time. 

HONORS:  Williams  graduates

AMT 


Several  students  who  were  in- 
terviewed said  that  they  were  just 
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.

Chemical  progress  is  autoclaves,  test  tubes,  distillation  towers 
.  .  .  hydrocarbons,  heterocyclic  compounds  .  .  .  processes, 
polymerizations,  products. 

But  mostly,  chemical  progress  is  thinking  .  .  .  men  think- 
ing. Little  men,  big  men,  medium  size  men  ...  in  lab  coats, 
business  suits,  overalls  ...  all  of  them,  always,  thinking. 

Thinking  up  new  products  .  .  .  new  ways  to  make  chem- 
icals and  new  ways  to  u.sc  them.  Thinking  up  more  comfort, 
more  convenience,  better  health,  for  everyone. 

Always,  the  old  things  have  to  be  improved,  and  the  new 


things  have  to  be  proved.  It  takes  more  thinking.  The  think- 
ing never  stops.  And  so  chemical  progress  never  stops.  It's 
that  way  at  Koppcrs. 


You  can  be  one  of  these  men,  think- 
ing. You  can  create  sonic  of  the  chem- 
ical progress  that's  made  at  Koppcrs.

.M  iieduled  for  one  night,  is  under  the  direction  of  John  Mattice. 

Oripnally  produced  in  1904,  John  Hull's  Other  Island  was

Qreylock  Picnic 
Set  For  Sunday 

rhe  Annual  Student-Faculty 
I'icnic  will  take  place  on  Mt.  Grey- 
l"i'k  Sunday.  Cars  will  leave  Cha- 
l'"i  Hall  at  12:30. 

The  Outing  Club  has  planned  a 
1^ limber  of  events  calculated  to 
'i.iUenge  the  skill  and  capacity 
I''  participants.  Beer  chugging, 
Vfilleyball,  egg  throwing,  log  saw- 
":  :  and  kit  flying  offer  professors 
and  .students  a  change  from  their 
riaily  intellectual  battles.  The  eggs, 
of  course,  will  be  thrown  at  Inani- 
mate targets. 

A  pie  eating  contest  is  planned, 
nnd  a  large  quantity  of  picnic 
food  will  be  provided. 

The  annual  affair  was  revived 
by  the  Outing  Club  in  1953.  Tra- 
ditionally, the  students  come  out 
wmning  a  majority  of  the  events. 

The  WOO  has  Issued  a  plea  for 
student  cars  to  transport  fresh- 
men and  sophomores  to  the  picnic 
Bround. 


The  primary  purpose  of  the  So- 
ciety is  to  welcome  visitors  to  the 
Williams  campus.  The  organiza- 
tion has  given  visitors  to  the  Ad- 
mi.ssions  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. 


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," 
suited  Mr.  Peter  Welanetz,  Super- 
intendent of  Buildings  and 
Grounds. 

At  an  approximate  cost  of  $5,000 
the  Chapin  Library  will  be  redec- 
orated. Besides  a  complete  re- 
painting and  refurbisliiiag,  possi- 
ble lighting  changes  may  be  made. 

Dormitory    Restorations 

Work  this  summer  will  also  in- 
clude the  restoration  of  entries  in 
Berk.shire  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. 


on  Cole  Field  and  win  the  Briggs 
cup. 

From  tlie  very  beginning  it  look- 
ed as  if  the  heavily  favored  Ephs 
were  going  to  run  into  trouble. 
Charley  Mallonie  and  Nick  La- 
mont  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 attaekman  Geoi'ge  Boynton 
scooped  up  the  ball,  dodged  three 
defensemen.  and  deftly  slipped  a 
shot  by  goalie  Dick  Mackinnon  for 
the  first  Williams  score. 
Kphs  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  McCaim 
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  Harvard.  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  Johirson  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.

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  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.

Douglas  To  Speak  In  Burns'  Behalf 
At  Jefierson-Jackson  Day  Dinner 

Senator  Paul  A.  Douglas.  13enu)crat  of  Illinois,  will  sjK'ak  on 
behalf  of  Democratic  C()ngressional  candidate  janies  M.  liurns, 
tit  ii  |effersoii-)ackson  Day  dinner  siionsored  by  the  Berkshire 
County  Democratic  Committee  on 


May  31,  in  Lenox,  Massachusetts. 
Senator  Douglas  will  stress  the 
problems  of  the  current  recession 
which  is  in  keeping  with  Burns' 
active  anti-recession  campaign. 
Douglas,  having  been  a  professor 
of  economics  at  the  University  of 
Chicago,  is  particularly  qualified 
for  this  topic.  Recently  Douglas 
has  taken  the  lead  in  the  Senate 
recession  legislation  and  has  been 
the  author  of  a  "redevelopment 
bill"  tailored  for  the  needs  of 
towns  like  Adams,  Massachusetts. 
Prior  to  the  Douglas  speech. 
Professor  Burns  will  be  honored 
at  a  "Campaign  Kickoff  Smoker" 
to  be  given  by  the  North  Adams 
Friends  of  Jim  Burns,  Friday,  May 
23,  at  the  Eagles  Lodge  in  North 
Adams. 

Speaking  at  the  Smoker  will  be 
James  L.  O'Dea,  Jr.,  District  At- 
torney of  Middlesex  County  where 
Burns  grew  up.  The  smoker  is  one 
of  a  series  of  rallies  planned  for 
the  early  and  late  summer. 

Burns  is  actively  preparing  for 
his  summer  campaigning  in  his  at- 
tempt to  unseat  Incumbent  John 
W.  Heselton. 


Williams  To  Receive 
Cluett  Home,  Grounds 

A  land  grant,  a  gift  of  the  home 
of  the  late  George  Alfred  Cluett 
'96,  has  been  given  to  Williams 
College. 

The  property  consists  of  a  large 
house  and  several  other  buildings 
together  with  178  acres  of  land 
near   the  Taconic  Golf   Course. 

Cluett  served  for  eleven  years 
as  Trustee  of  the  college  and  was 
the  former  president  of  Cluett  and 
Peabody  of  Troy,  New  York.  The 
gift  was  made  by  Cluett's  four  sur- 
viving children  and  includes  a 
sum  for  the  maintenance  of  the 
property. 

"This  splendid  gift,"  said  Pre- 
sident Baxter,  "is  of  great  im- 
portance for  the  future  of  the 
college."  In  hoping  to  use  the 
land  for  faculty  home  sites,  Bax- 
ter expressed  his  belief  that  the 
grant  would  contribute  greatly  to 
the  ability  of  the  college  to  hold 
and  attract  outstanding  teachers. 


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 
themselves,  through  the  represen-

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.

To  the  1959  Gaigoyle  Society: 

Congratulation's!  Yon  wholia\e  jnst  been  accepted  in  member- 
ship (o  tile  Gargoyle  Society  ha\i'  rccei\cd  the  highest  honor  that 
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-

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

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

Your  delegation  will  be  confronted  with  pressures  to  produce 
reports  and  "to  prove"  your  value  in  so  doing  by  those  who  equate 
worth,  effectiveness,  and  ))restige  with  publicity.  Resist  such  ])ies-

In  conclusion,  I  urge  you  to  remember  the  context  in  wliich 
you  will  conduct  your  activities.  As  Professor  Ralph  Gabriel  re- 
minded us  in  an  address  here  a  few  weeks  ago:  "We  cannot  sur- 
vive by  science  alone."  Seldom  has  the  importance  of  educalion 
to  the  country  been  as  great.  Never  before  have  the  challenges  to 
The  Williams  Education  been  cleaier.  And  so  your  opportunity 
to  serve  your  college  increases  proportionately.  We  are  certain  nou 
will  accejDt  this  opportunity  and  fulfill  the  responsibilities  confei  red

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

Ixack  Elects  Capts. 

Wed.  May  14  -  Track  Captain 
Bill  Fox  announced  tonight 
that  Bob  Hatcher  and  Georse 
Sudduth  had  been  elected  co- 
captains  of  the  1959  varsity 
track  team. 

Both  men  have  been  instru- 
mental in  the  success  of  this 
year's  undefeated  squad.  Hat- 
cher has  consistently  scored  in 
double  figures,  competing  in  as 
many  as  five  events,  while  Sud- 
duth erased  the  standing  col- 
lege marks  in  both  the  440  and 
the  880  this  spring. 

A  three  letter  man.  Hatcher 
was  a  halfback  on  last  fall's  un- 
defeated football  team  and  won 
the  New  England  heavyweight 
championship  in  wrestling. 
Sudduth's  election  today,  gave 
him  his  third  captaincy.  The 
sprinter  is  also  co-captain  of 
cross  country  and  winter  track. 

Bob  Judd  was  also  elected 
honorary  captain  of  the  fresh- 
man track  team  which  has  one 
meet   remaining,   at    Wesleyan.

Springfield  Bows 
To  %l  Baseball 

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.

THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD.  FRIDAY,  MAY  16,  1958 


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. 


Golf  5-2; 
Julius  Win 


HALLIGAN  tees  off  on  the  16th. 
Despite  shooting^  a  75  the  Eph 
golfer  dropped  his  match  on  the 
l»th  hole.

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.

Varsity  Lacrosse  Team 
Ends  Undefeated  Season 


Waitingr  for  their  chance  at  Harvard 


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.

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- 
sity. Coach  Chaffee  is  looking  for- 
ward to  a  well-balanced  squad. 
Freshmen  Fred  Kasten  and  John 
Leathers  are  also  considered  var- 
sity potential.

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.

that  parents  don't  understand  the  college  generation.  What  every  senior  really  wants 
(C'mon  now,  admit  it!)  is  a  generous  supply  of  Luckies!  Luckies,  as  everyone  knows, 
are  the  best-tasting  cigarettes  on  earth.  They're  packed  with  rich,  good-tasting 
tobacco,  toasted  to  taste  even  better.  So  the  senior  who  doesn't  receive  'em  is  bound

Vigorous  campaigning  was  con- 
ducted by  both  sides  of  the  issue, 
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 
anything  they  felt  compelled  to

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.

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.

penses, too,  can  be  handled  on  the  Pan 
Am  Pay  Later  Plan.

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

Ik>  received  by  any  house  after  the 
•lace  period  ending  Oct.  14. 

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."

302  Frosh  Begin  Classes  Today; 
Dorm  Annex  Opened  Near  Theater 

The  302  members  ol  the  Class  of  1962  bei^in  their  first  year 
at  Williams  today  after  four  days  of  orientation. 

This  uroiip  represents  a  record  total  of  202  schools  as  well 
as  the  hii^licst  academic  averasfc  in  the  history  of  the  collesfe.  These 
schools  inchide  97  |)rep  and  105  jMihlic  schools  with  a  .56-44  ratio 
in  favor  of  the  ]-)\vp  schools. 

The  increased  number  of  freshmim  has  necessitated  the  open-

ning  his  community  and  nation." 

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.

able to  the  eight  freshmen,  the 
two  Bowdoin-plan  students,  and 
Brooks  Stoddard  '60,  junior  advi- 
ser, who  are  living  there. 

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- 
eral Motors  scholar. 

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, 
William  G.  Cole,  Dean  of  Fresh- 
men, commented,  "I  fervently  hope

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-

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

tries. Pour  of  these  students,  Tao 
Ho  from  China,  Warner  Kim  from 
Korea,  Gabor  Telecki  from  Hun-

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

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.

missions Department  and  faculty 
adviser  foi-  these  students  is  plan- 
ning a  smoker  to  be  held  within

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 
Graduate  School  of  Industrial 
Administration  under  a  grant  from 
the  Ford  Foundation.

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.

B'  cause  of  the  large  size  of  the 
Chi  of  1962,  the  college  lias  con- 
vfi;  .1  the  old  Wahl  house  into  a 
fir:  I  Ilium  annex.  Located  on  Main

iiiiii'  N  iiccornmodates  ten  freshmen

•J  lie  building  itself  is  over  100 
ypiu^  old  and  its  new  residents 
cla  in  that  some  of  the  floors  were 
pu'  in  with  wooden  pegs.  They  al- 
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 
hr  was  pleased,  but  not  surpris- 
ed, with  the  reaction.  He  expres,sed 
confidence  that  the  students 
would  be  happy  in  the  annex.

jects, the  society  is  also  about  to 
offer  a  new  and  bigger  college

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,

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.

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

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 
should  be  a  part  of  the  life  of  an 
intellectual,"  he  says.  "Although 
I  am  a  protestant  Christian,  I 
will  encourage  people  of  other 
faiths  to  think  about  their  reli- 
gion and  to  practice  H."

New  Policy,  4  Plays 
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

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.

Trinity  has  demonstrated  an  ability  to  throw  tiie  ball  but  since 
,  lack  much  of  a  jrionnd  attack  should  be  containable  liuTiiiL' 
,■  scores  by  Irmily  on  desperation  heaves  1  liaxc  to  favor  Wil

I'roin  a  purely  academic  viewpoint,  perhaps  the  most  in 
sling  leatiiie  ol  .Saturday's  game  will  be  watching  the  deci- 
s  made  on  how  to  try  lor  the  P.A.T.'s.  The  new  rule  awaidiii" 

points  to  a  siiecesslnl  rush  instead  of  a  placement  is  likely 
ling  out  an  almost  lorgotlen  breed  of  boys  who  can  nm  throw 
kick,  nearly  eliminating  the  jilace  kicking  specialist 

Taking  an  average  of  the  weights  of  the  starters' shoNvs  that 
'lains  IS  very  likely  to  be  the  smaller  team  more  than  once  tliis 

The  backfield  .scales  a  modest  f 73  lbs.  average,  while  the  line 
ily  194  lbs.  per  man,  with  guard  bob  Reeves  the  lightest  at  100

Varsity  Football  Opens  At  Trinity; 
Preparation  Stresses  Pass  Defense 


The  University  of  Houston  cop- 
ped both  the  team  and  individual 
honors  in  the  61sth  NCAA  Golf 
Championships  held  here  on  the 
Taconic  Golf  Course  in  mid  June. 

Phil  Rodders  of  the  defending 
champions  took  the  Chick  Evans 
Bowl  for  top  honors  in  a  record 
field  of  302  players  representinb' 
79  colleges  and  universities, 

Only  one  Williams  player,  jun- 
ior Bob  Julius,  qualified  for  the 
championship  play.  He  was  elim- 
inated in  the  .second  round. 

The  Williams  end  of  the  tour- 
nament was  under  the  direction  oi 
the  college  treasurer,  Charles  A. 
Poehl,  Jr.  while  Ted  Payseur 
handled  the  details  for  the  NCAA. 
Perfect  weather  prevailed  for  the 
four  day  tournament  as  Houston 
lived  up  to  expectations  in  captur- 
ing the  Maxwell  Cup.  The  Champ- 
ionships were  covered  by  the  As- 
sociated Press  and  Sports  Illus- 
trated. 


Fr.   Football 

I'he  freshman  football  squad 
iDiiay  completed  its  first  full 
week  of  practice  in  preparation 
1(1)  its  coming  game  October  U

Starting  with  G3  prospects  on 
i!ir  first  day.  Coach  Bill  Mc- 
Hi'nry's  squad  dropped  to  47 
al!i'r  three  days  of  practice. 
r.i,'  remaining  team  seems  very 
■si long  in  the  middle  of  the  line 
and  has  deptli  in  the  backfield. 
I.Doking  good  so  far  have  been 
All-Connecticut  center  Paul 
Hill,  tackles  Sel  Whitaker  at

Varsity  Soccer  Scrimmages  Twice; 
RPl,  Albany  Pre-Season  Foes 


The  Williams  varsity  soccer 
team  split  a  pair  of  pre-season 
scrimmages  this  week  as  prepara- 
tions continued  for  the  season 
opener  against  the  University  of 
Massachusetts  on  October  8  at 
Cole  Field.  The  team  traveled  to 
Ti'oy  only  to  drop  a  close  2-1  de- 
cision to  R,  P.  I.  but  came  back 
Monday  to  beat  Albany  State 
Teachers,   6-2. 

R.  P.  I.  Triumphs 

The  Williams  squad  started  well 
against  R.  P.  I.  but  lack  of  good 


conditioning  caused  the  purple  at- 
tack to  fade  in  the  late  stages  and 
they  coiild  not  recover  from  an 
early  deficit.  The  purple  hooters 
fared  much  better  on  Monday  as 
co-captain  Mike  Baring-Gould  re- 
turned to  the  lineup  after  mi.s.sing 
the  R.  P.  I,  trip  to  .score  three 
;-'.oals  to  pace  an  easy  Eph  win 
over  Albany. 

The  team  will  have  aiiothei 
scrimmage  against  Dcerficld  on 
October  4  before  opening  rcjiular 
season  play.

ficiency with  speed  and  mobility.

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

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."

Fraternities 

"If  you  say  that  fraternities  and 
political  parties  must  be  aboli.  hed 
because  of  the  injustices  they  lon- 
tain,  then  as  a  Christian,  I  must 
say  that  the  Church  must  tin  If 
the  Church  contains  irrelevcncies 
and  hypocrisy,  as  it  does,  Ihi.s  i.s 
no  reason  to  withdraw  from  it.  I 
believe  that  making  a  contribution 
in  social  life  is  the  second  greatest 
commandment.  A  realist  can  work 
for  and  say  what  he  believes  with- 
out becoming  obnoxious:  only  a 
prophet  goes  about  saying  'I  liave 
risen  above  the  evils  of  my  soriely 
and  share  no  responsibility  or  KUill 
for  its  injustices'."

srli.ihu-ship  students  financially 
unable  to  pay  the  tax.  This  col 
led  :on  would  give  the  Houseparty 
C(i  niniUee  over  $10,000  to  alio 
for  the  Ihreo  liouseparties. 
i.si  year  the  costs  of  dances 
conceits  for  fraternity  mem 
tor  fall,  winter,  and  spring 
■parties  were  $1.75,  $6.75,  and 
i  (total  $14.60).  These  prices 
however,  blanket  prices 
which  all  members  of  fraternities 
paid.  "As  you  can  see  if  you  at- 
tend on'y  two  of  the  three  hou.se- 
parlies,"  the  committee  reports 
•■the  tax  shall  be  chcapiu'  for  you." 
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.

Council  To  Review 
Gul   $$    Problem 

Once  again  yearbook  financial 
problems  have  been  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  College  Council. 
At  a  dinner  meeting  of  the  Coun- 
cil at  Dean  Brooks'  house  Monday 
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- 
dent's CCF  assessment  will  oe  vot- 
ed on  next  week.  The  Council  a- 
greed  to  delay  the  vote  in  order 
to  allow  fuller  understanding  and 
expression  of  opinion  from  the 
student  body.

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,

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

VIEWPOINT 

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. 

Full  thirty  nine  of  them  stood  up  to  say 
Fraternity  is  not  the  only  way. 

But  here,  alas,  our  liberals  fear  to  leave 
Rushees  with  choice  of  an  alternative. 

Seeing  no  need  for  Milton's  serpent  voice. 
They  jjledge  for  all,  fair  heaven  free  of  choice.

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

Williams  Students  Aid 
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- 
lips '59,  Dave  Rogers  '60,  and  Mike 
Dively  '61.

to  sponsor  Winter  Carnival,  in- 
cluding the  traditional  snow 
sculpture  contest,  and  the  in- 
ter-collegiate ski  competition. 
The  "work-weekend"  at  Mad 
River  Glen  has  been  planned 
for  Oct.  18  and  19,  and  tenta- 
tive plans  have  been  made  for 
a  "turkey   shoot"    this  fall. 


domestic    duties    as    one    of    the 
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

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.

"Religion  is  a  great  force— the  onU/  real  motive  force  in  tlie 
world;  but  what  ijou  fellows  don't  understand  is  that  i/ou  must  net 
at  a  man  through  his-  own  religion  and  not  through  ijours."     ,si,*^\y 

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?

Frosh  Practice  Hard,

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

Plenty  oi  poise.  Farren  is  the  more 
aaiigerous  of  the  two  and  will 
prooably  split  most  of  the  ball

well  off  tackle  and  to  the  outside.

Ephs'  top  lineman,  who  will  open 

of    the   season   at 


Colby  Line 

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  OCTOBER  3,  1958 


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.

individual  saving  that  it  initiates. 
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. 

John  Mangel  '59,  is  chairman  of 
the  committee  which  drew  up  the 
plan.  Other  members  include  John 
Boyden  '59,  Pete  Willmott  '59,  Dick 
Herzog  '60,  Ben  Schenk  '60,  Jim 
Anderson  '61,  Walt  Floyd  '61,  and 
Tom  Fox  '61.

Twenty-nine  paintings  by  mis- 
cellaneous artists  of  the  nine- 
iteentli  century  and  a  bronze  liead 
were  added  to  tire  English  silver 
collection  in  the  south  gallery  of 
the  Sterling  and  Francine  Clark 
Art  Institute  recently.  The  exhi- 
bition was  opened  to  the  public  at 
a  press  reception  Thursday  even- 
ing, September  25. 

The  principal  works  represented 
in  the  display  were  painted  by  Ri- 
chard Parks  Bonington  and  Mary

sculptured  by  Francois  Rodin.

AMT  Cast  Stars 
Simmonds,  Distler 

Under  the  direction  of  Giles 
Playfair  work  has  begun  on  the 
AMT's  production  of  "Peter  Pan". 
Harvey  Simmonds  '60.  has  been 
si'lected  to  play  Peter  and  Tony 
Distler  '59,  will  play  Captain  Hook. 

Playfair  will  be  using  the  ori- 
ginal James  Barri,"  script  rather 
than  the  on  >  popularized  for  the 
Bidadway  show  which  starred 
Maiy  Martin.  His  Peter  will  as- 
sume a  character  similar  to  the 
one  Jackie  Coogan  made  popular 
in  the  old-time  film.  "The  Kid". 
Another  change  will  be  the  cast- 
in  '  of  the  Lost  Boys  in  a  Dead- 
End-Kids  style. 

I'he  music  for  the  AMT's  show 
will  be  adapted  from  the  original 
Bairie  production.  In  addition,  an 
American  Victorian  motif  is  being 
ai'cented  rather  than  the  Englisli 
Ei.wardian  style  vi'hich  ha.s  been 
u.s.'d  in  other  "Peter  Pan"  produc-

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.

phy. 


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.

to  a  H)ie  ruiiniiii^  display,   tallying  two  touelidowiis  apiece,   Ide 

amassed  IBO  yards  persorally  in 
11  carries,  including  a  63  yard 
touclidown  sprint  in  the  th!)'d  per- 
iod. 

Williams  started  sli'ong  in  the 
opening  period  as  Gary  Higgins 
directed  a  57  yard  march  in  twelve 
plays  which  was  culminated  oy 
Dan  Rorke's  toss  to  end  Richie 
Kagan  in  the  end  zone.  The  Colby 
Mule  kicked  right  oack  with  a 
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 
roost  from  the  toe  of  quarterback 
Higgins  on  first  down  got  the  Pur- 
ple out  of  the  hole.  Apparently 
Colby  had  shot  their  tiolt  for  Wil- 
liams was  never  in  trouble  again. 
In  the  second  quarter  Rorke  cli- 
max, d  a  45  yard  march  by  going 
into  the  end  zone  standing  up 
from  six  yards  out.  Ide  intercept- 
ed a  Colby  pa.ss  on  the  Eph  47. 
then  two  plays  later  skipped  43 
yards  to  the  Colby  10,  where  Bob 
Stegeman  added  Williams  third 
scoi'e  of  the  day  making  the  half- 
time  score  20-6, 

In  the  third  quarter  on  a  .second 

and  seven  situation  Ide  scored  the 

first  of  liis  two  touchdowns,  going 

30  yards  down  the  Colby  .sidelines

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.

Everybody's  Porridge  IV 

A.UTUMN 

Everyone  celebrates  autimin;  whether  we 
scream  at  football  i^aines,  drive  buiiiper-to-buinp- 
er  to  "leal-look",  or  simply  feel  the  shiver  of  en- 
ergy that  comes  with  the  first  cold  snajj  and  the 
tanff  of  biiiiiiiifr-leaf  incense,  we  react  to  tliat  sea- 
son. 

"A  little  this  side  of  the  snow 

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" 

P.  13.  Tacy  '59

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^ 
casting  about  for  soniethiug  to  do  Ibis  suimner  before  tlepartinr 
hn  Burma,  1  ran  into  someone  who  had  attended  the  Internatioi,  i] 
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  !| 
viewpoint  alone,  benefit  Williams  (College.  Problems  are  gencraliv 
solved  at  Williams  through  committee  action,  'i'hrough  the  nn- 
dium  of  NS.\'s  file  of  re]5orts  on  inanv  problems  from  many  col- 
leges, such  conuiiittee  work  can  be  more  enlightened.  To  lia\i' 
the  ri'|)ort  of  a  student  grouj)  that  has  gra|)pled  with  a  siniilr 
report  bcfori'  you,  means  that  vour  resources  are  that  much  greain 
in  finding  a  solution  for  Williams.  Ivicb  regional  group  yearly  lioMs 
several  seminars  on  problems  of  inteicst  to  membei  colleges. 

On  the  international  level,  NSA's  activities  have  a  wide  scopi 
It  is  a  member  of  the    international   Student  (."onference   wlili  h 
includes  the  national  student    miions   ol    ov ci    60  countries.   Thi 
most  recent  conference  was  hekl  in  Nigeria.  It  expressed  its  soli 
darity  with  students  in  nations  whert'  student  rights  are  su|5|5ress(  I 
such  as  Algeria  and  Cuba. 

NSA  can  offer  much  to  the  individual  who  partici|)ates  in  ii.> 
conferences  and  discussions;  it  afloriis  student  government  a  has. 
for  comparison  of  its  policies  and  similar  ideas  at  other  schools. 
Williams  can  only  gain  by  affiliation  with  this  group.

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  WEDNESDAY.  OCTOBER  8,  1958 


Research  Measures 
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.

WCC  Sponsors 
Frosh  Forum 

Ti;e  WCC  has  been  sponsoring 
forums  which  are  intended  as  a 
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. 


A'r    THE    FLICKS 

WALDEN:  "Razzia",  a  French 
thriller  in  the  tradition  of  "Rififi" 
occupies  the  Spring  Street  screen 
through  Thursday.  Friday  m\A 
Saturday  Dana  Wynler,  Mel  Fer- 
rer, and  Dolores  MichaeLs  emote 
in  "Fraulein",  and  David  Niven 
appears  in  ''riie  Love  Lottery". 

MOHAWK:  Brigitte  Bardot  un- 
dulates all  ihis  week  in  "The  Night 
Heaven  Pell".  Ihe  theatre  mana- 
ger has  loi'gott.n  the  name  of  his 
second  feature.  But  who  would 
want  to  know':" 

PARAMOUNT:  Owen  Verdon 
stars  in  the  musical  "Damn  Yan- 
kees", a  great  show  on  Broadway, 
and,  reportedly,  a  fine  movie.  Ray 
Walston,     Shannon     Bolin,     and 


Dr.  Rabi  .  .  . 

provided  an  environment  in  which 
scientific  advancement  can  easily 
be  accomplished.  "But  as  a  result 
of  Sputnilc,  a  lot  of  things  got  un- 
derway in  America,"  Rabi  stated. 
Among  the  principle  adjustments 
made,  Rabi  cited  the  appointment 
of  MIT's  President  Killian  as  sci- 
entific advisor  to  President  Eisen- 
hower and  the  larger  appropria- 
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.

GENERAL  INTEREST 

PLACEMENl'  —  Director  Man- 
ton  Copeland  expects  more  firms 
than  ever  will  be  here  to  hitervlew 
Williams  students  beginning  in 
February.  He  says  seniors  have 
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." 

THEATRE  —  Bob  Matthews' 
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 
and  JA's  will  cover  the  freshmen,  i  w'ill  also  Ix'  heie  to  celebrate  the  fraternity's   125th  anni\ersary. 

The  weekend's  program  is  under 
the  direction  of  Talcott  M.  Banks, 
Jr.  '28,  and  features  a  dinner  and 
formal  dance  under  a  marquee  on 
the  KA  lawn  Saturday. 


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."

ORGANIST  BARROW 

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 
Art  Museum  last  February.  The 
Quindecium,  essentially  a  small 
orchestra,  will  be  conducted  by  the 
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

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

breaks.  The  second  score  for  Wil- 
liams came  in  the  third  period  off 
the  foot  of  co-captain  Mike  Bar-

The  halfback  line  of  Coach  Clar-

in  the  Eph  win  with  Tom  Tierney 
leading  the  way.  Left  half  Ben

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.

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.

The  editors  feel  that  the  maga-

cooling  off  period.  The  basic  ques- 
tion, however,  which  the  "Cow's" 
failure  again  brings  to  light  is 
this:  Does  Williams  tend  to  stifle 
the  creative  efforts  of  its  students?

HOW  GREEN  WAS  MY  CAMPUS 

Don't  tell  me:  I  know  how  busy  you've  l)een!  I  know  all  the 
things  you've  luul  to  do  in  the  opeiiiiis;  (lays  of  tlic  scliool  year- 
registering,  iiayiiig;  fees,  findin}!;  loiigiiins,  entering;  a  dras  race, 
getting  married,  building  a  cage  for  your  raccoon.  Hut  now, 
with  all  these  essentials  out  of  the  way,  let  us  pause  and  join 
hands  and  take,  for  the  first  time,  a  loug,  leisurely  look  at  our 
campus. 

Ready'?  T.et's  go! 

We  liegin  our  tnur  dvcr  lioro  on  this  lovely  sfrctcli  of  green- 
sward calle<l  'I'hc  Mnll.  Tlic  Mall,  as  we  all  know,  was  named  in 
lionor  of  our  distinguished  aiunmus  I'red  Mall,  inventor  of  tlie 
opposing  thunili.  Hcl'urc  Mr.  .Mall's  invention,  the  thuinl)  could 
not  lie  iircsscd  or  clicked  against  the  other  fingers.  .As  a  result, 
niillions  of  casl.'inet  makers  were  <nit  of  work.  Today  however, 
thanks  to  Mr.  .Mall,  one  out  of  every  three  .Anu'ricans  is  gain- 
fully crnplDycd  making  castanets.  (The  other  two  make  cro<|uet 
wickets.)  .Mr.  Mall  is  now  lOti  years  old  and  living  in  seclusion 
on  a  sc;i  elilV  in  Wellington,  Kansas,  but  the  old  gentleman  is 
far  from  idle.  He  still  works  twelve  hours  a  day  in  his  labora- 
tory, and  in  tlic  last  year  has  invented  the  tuni.,  the  cuticle, 
and  lint. 


k  old  6aiil£/m  isl^r  {m  Me... 


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 !

Observers 

I  >b.servers  of  the  plane's  descent 
ai...l  spectacular  blaze  were  many 
bir  unanimous  in  several  com- 
ii:i  lit.s.  The  general  belief  was  that 
l!i  plane  went  into  a  sharp  climb, 
.luly  vertical,  after  talieoff. 
Til  y  said  it  developed  engine 
tij..b.e,  noticeably  audible,  stall- 
i.  .i  .  the  no-se  wcni  down,  then 
f  vr  cd  to  recover  only  to  lose  a- 
!,iin  and  plumm>.t  downward. 

After  the  plane's  right  wing 
flipped  a  huge  elm,  the  craft 
plowed  into  the  ground  with  terri- 
fii'  impact,  digging  a  three-foot 
crater.  A  column  of  fire,  100  feet 
hiKh,  resulted  from  the  immediate 
explosion  of  a  wing  gas  tank. 

Investigation 

The    Navy's    Aircraft     Accident 
Board  flew  six  officers  to  the  air- 
port after  the  crash  to  investigate 
till'  accident's  cause  which  was  un- 
known at  press  time. 

Priday'.s  accident  marked  the 
eiiilith  and  ninth  air  fatalities  m 
tills  general  area  of  40  miles  I'a- 
dius  since  January  3,  1957  and  the 
scrimd  Naval  crash  in  the  vicinity 
in  six  months. 

statistics  compiled  with  the  as- 
sistance of  the  North  Adams  Tran- 
script show  that  since  April  24, 
1'  i9,  39  airplane  accidents  and  18 
d  iths  have  occured  in  the  wood-

Schuman  Denounces  Foreign  Policy 
As  'Unsatisfactory  Brinkmanship' 


Proli 


/)(/  jdIiii  CUhxI 
es.sor  l''reileriek  L.  SehuiiKin  took  to  the  lecture  podimn  in 
renovated  jesup  Hall  Thursilav  ni<j;ht  with  the  words,  "The  art  of 
brinkniansliip  as  practiced  hv  the  United  States  is  unsati.sfaetory, 
linstratint;,  and  dangerous." 

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- 
setts and  by  refusing  to  recognize 
the  United  States.  "As  an  Ameri 
can  citizen,  how  would  you  feel? 
he  asked.

on  information  compiled  by  the

recommendations  but  pointed  out 
that  each  man  now  pays  $1  of  the

be  scheduled  Saturday  as  usual. 


"Of  course  this  analogy  has  its 
weak  points,"  he  continued,  "be- 
cause Great  Britain  would  never 
be  so  foolish." 

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.

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

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.

immediate  implementation  of 
Employment  Act  of  1946.  He 
favored  federal  supported  ex-

salion  and  "temporary  but  im-

said,  will  meet  those  "lasting  needs

Kuonger  nation."

tack would  be  suicidal  for  any  po-

commented,  we  need  to  help  the 
Soviet  Satellites  with  a  non-com-

people  over  as  they  gradually  mod-

and  drink  for  the  affair  and 
sponsored  five  contests  pitting 
sLudents  against  faculty  mem- 
bers. The  beer-chugging  com- 
petition produced  a  deadlock 
between  professors  Waite  and 
Stoddard. 

Other  action  was  provided  by 
the  log-chopping,  pie-eating, 
egg-throwing  and  hula  hoop 
contests,  the  last  of  which  was 
won  by  a  talented  faculty  daa- 
ghter  who  preferred  to  remain 
anonymous.

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-

lot from  Westover  Air  Force  Base, 
on  maneuvers  with  another  jet. 

3)  June  30,  1957  —  Single-en-

near  Glastonbury  Mountain  in 
Sommersel,  Vt.,  killing  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Mark  Larue  of  Hoosac  Falls,

Varsity  Harriers 
Lose  First  Meet 

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 
to  23  points,  Springfield  ran  away 
with  the  meet,  followed  by  MIT 
w:ih  49  points  and  Williams  just 
L;''..!nd  them  with  54,  Springfield's 
Waikden  won  the  individual  hon- 
ors, finishing  first  in  21:23.8, 
while  his  teammates  took  the  sec- 
ond, fifth  and  sixth  slots  behind 
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.

ground  gainer,  amassing  98  yards 
and  averaging  over  five  yard.s  per

Cole  Field. 

The  starting  line  will  include 
wings  Keith  Doege  and  Tom  Boy-

Donnell.  The  inside  positions  are 
still  up  for  grabs,  but  it  appears 
that  Skip  Rutherford,  ex-captain 
of  Episcopal  High,  will  start  at  the 
right  and  either  Steve  Usher,  Al

on  the  left. 

Defensively  the  Ephmen  are

covering a  fumble  on  the  Coast

The  Lord  Jeffs  have  now  scored 
104  points  in  their  opening  three

and  thus  added  two  points. 

Williams'  final  touchdown  came 
after  a  long  90-yard  drive  covering 
15  plays,  ending  in  a  two-yard 
plunge  by  Walt  Walker,  which 
pushed  the  Purple  score  to  30.  In 
process  of  the  march,  with  third 
down  and  18  to  go,  Jim  Briggs 
came  forth  with  the  most  spec- 
tacular show  of  broken-field  run- 
ning seen  all  afternoon.  Back  to 
pass,  Briggs  was  rushed  hard  and 
elected  to  run.  Once  started  he 
fought  through  for  26  yards,  pen- 
etrating almost  all  of  the  Middle- 
bury  team. 

Bruce  Listerman  added  the 
point  after  with  a  placement,  mak- 
ing the  final  score  31-0.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  15,  1958 


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; 
Follows  Livingstons  Zambesi  Route 


By    Stu   Levy 

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 
Freshman  in  the  third  violin  sec- 
tion, and  especially  a  very  talent- 
ed girl  playing  from  the  first  chair 
of  the  second  violins. 


England  learning  the  mechiniics 
of  the  Land  Rover,  the  ma(  I  ine 
used  for  travel  in  the  expednion 
Coughlin  and  the  group  left  i ,  oni 
Southhampton  by  passenger  iiip 
to  Cape  Town  on  the  south  wist- 
ern  coast  of  Africa.  From  il,  le 
they  traveled  east  across  A:ica 
before  turning  north  to  the  : oig 
primitive  areas,  and  the  locniion 
of  Livingston's  famous  expedi;  on 

During  the  trip  the  party  rpt 
outside  several  times.  "Once  ir- 
ing  these  camp-outs,"  Cou'  lin 
commented,  "we  heard  all  .  its 
of  noises  followed  by  a  lei  Jic 
crash.  We  hastily  jumped  intu  u^ 
Rover,  fearing  that  the  c  np 
would  be  charged.  After  four  'h 
false  alarms  and  little  sleep  ne 
noises  subsided:  however,  the  -  .^t 
morning  we  did  find  evidenci  of 
rhinos  in  the  trampled  bru.sl  a- 
round  the  camp. 

"Much  of  the  game  had  L.-un 
shot  out  of  this  part  of  the  ci  ui- 
try,"  Coughlin  noted,  "howc.'r, 
we  did  see  many  hippos,  lions  el- 
ephants and  zebras  as  we  hoii  led 
inland.  In  fact  while  we  were  ob- 
serving a  herd  of  elephants  fr.im 
a  di-stance,  they  suddenly  cau'ht 
our  scent,  trumpeted  with  cus 
flapping  and  charged  us.  We  lost 
no  time  in  getting  out  of  there; 
the  elephants  halted  after  chaig- 
ing    about   half   the   distance"

IS  a  staffed  rcadintf.  There  is  little  move- 
ment in  the  presentation,  but  visu- 
al effects  designed  to  show  the 
passage  of  time  and  to  simulate 
a  landscape  are  used.  The  lighting 
created  by  Tony  Stout  '61  and  the 
set  designed  by  Steve  Saunders  '59, 
and  Bob  Mathews  '58,  produce 
these  effects. 

More  of  a  story  than  a  pla^^

between  the  cast  and  the  audienc 
by  commenting  on  the  action.  Tire 
dramatic  effect  of  the  reading  is 
put  across  by  the  faces  and  voices 
of  the  cast. 

The  songs  of  the  play  will  oe 
accompanied  by  both  recorded  and 
live  background  music.  A  full 
complement  of  special  sound  ef-

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

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-

Governor  Foster  Furcolo  and 
other  Democrats  on  the  state  tic- 
ket, as  well  as  James  M.  Burns, 
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

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.

Dear  Jack: 

In  response'  to  your  letter  of  October  5,  1958, 
1  iimncdiatel}'  issued  work  orders  to  have  the 
lighting  by  Clia|jin  Hall  and  lor  Fayerweather 
liall  put  back  into  operating  condition.  1  have 
also  issned  orders  to  have  the  watchmen  check 
these  lights  each  night  and  in  case  of  the  lailure 
of  them  it  will  be  reported  the  following  morn- 
ing anil  the  necessary  rejiairs  made  right  away. 

1  ha\  e  had  similar  iiK]iiiries  about  a  student's 
ahilit)  to  negotiate  the  steps  of  the  Berkslme 
(^)nacl  to  die  llockey  Rink  and  tliey  are,  1  admit, 
uecause  of  the  nature  of  theii'  coiistiuction  uot 
the  most  desirable  type.  SUll,  oil  a  recent  in- 
spection. 1  m)self  had  no  difficulty  negotiating 
tiiein.  I  am,  howi's  er,  issuing  work  orders  to  have 
a  jaiinig  installed  on  these  steps  so  that  tliose 
tinning  It  difficult  can  have  tlie  assistance  of  a 
railing  to  hold  onto. 

'fhe  history  of  these  two  lighting  areas  is 
that  they  were  iiistallod  by  this  De|)artment 
after  a  considciahle  number  of  re(|uests  from 
students  using  paths  that  were  then  in  existauce 
at  these  spots.  Since  their  installation  we  have 
hatl  almost  a  continuous  battle  witli  student 
damage  up  to  this  year,  when  it  became  almost 
ini|)C)ssil)le  for  us  to  keep  up  with  the  bulb  break- 
age and  other  damage  that  has  occurred.  1  am 
certaini)'  willing  to  give  it  another  try  because  J 
recogni/e  the  need,  however,  1  do  re(|uest  your 
help  by  trying  to  cut  down  in  this  jjroblem  of 
student  damage  to  these,  fixtures  ,s<>  that  it  is 
practical  to  maintain  lighting  in  this  area.

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- 
der! For  rich  flavor  and 
easygoing  mildness, Camel's 
blend  of  costly  tobaccos  has 
never  been  equalled.  More 
and  more  smokers  are  dis- 
covering that  the  best  to- 
bacco makes  the  best  smoke. 
Year  after  year,  Camels  are 
America's  No.  1  cigarette. 


Don't  fool  around  wifh 

fads  and  fancy  stuff , . .

cigaiette-

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.

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  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.

Freshman  Squad  Harvard  Topples  Ephs 

Downs  Hotchkiss 


Sparked  by  inside  Dave  Sage's 
three  tallies,  the  Williams  fresh- 
man soccer  team  whipped  Hotch- 
kiss on  Cole  Field,  5-0, 

With  the  Purple  team  leading 
1-0  midway  in  the  third  period 
Tom  Boy,1en  .sent  a  corner  kick 
through  HotchkLss  goalie  "Ollie" 
Ollison's  hands  and  off  the  cross- 
bar. Sage  capitalized  on  the  error 
by  heading  tlie  ball  into  the  ns.s. 
A  .scant  half  minute  later  he  re- 
ceived a  pass  from  Skip  Ruther- 
ord  and  drilled  the  ball  into  i,he 
^oal.  Before  the  period  ended 
3oyden,  an  ex-Hotchkiss  wing, 
scored  against  his  alma  mater  on 
.1  long  shot  past  the  charging  goal- 
ie. 


Doerge  Tallies 

The  Ephmen  began  slowly  and, 
although  the  ball  stayed  at  the 
HotchkLss  end  through  most  of 
the  first  period,  they  were  unable 
to  score.  Keith  Doerge  broke  the 
ice  by  banging  in  a  pass  from  cen- 
ter-forward John  O'Donnell  mid- 
way in  the  second  quarter.  The  fi- 
nal purple  tally  came  as  Sage  took 
a  cross-pass  from  the  right  and 
pushed  it  past  OUison, 

The  defense  which  contained  the 
Hotchkiss  line  was  led  by  Eph  cap- 
tain John  Hasletl,  ably  backed  by 
the  powerful  kicking  of  John  Mil- 
holland  and  Bill  Ryan.  Goalie  Jeff 
Corson,  playing  a  flawless  game, 
had  no  need  to  display  his  real 
talents  as  the  strong  defen.se  con- 
tained the  opponents,  who  had 
boasted  a  2-0  record

the  Williams  soccer  team  on  Cole  Field,  A  goal  midway  throiifjjh

the  wiiniinn  tally,  A  late  suri^e  bv  the  K|ilnnen,  sparked  Ijy  Mike 
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.

Dean  Cole,  B  -  Town  Girl 
View  Dating  Problem 


Bennington  senior  Katnarine  Durant  speaking  at  the  last  of  three 
WCC-sponsored  freshman  discussion  panels.  Discussing  "The  Dating 
Dilemma"  Miss  Durant  described  problems  of  college  social  life  from 
the  feminine  viewpoint.  Her  talk  followed  comments  by  Dean  of 
Freshmen  William  Cole  (at  left  of  Miss  Durant)  on  the  historical 
perspective  of  today's  dating,  on  the  type  of  girl  chosen  for  dates 
by  college  men,  and  on  what  they  did  on  dates.  These  panels,  run 
by  Don  Campbell  '60  (at  right  of  Miss  Durant),  have  included  analy-

Dr.  Boring  Gives 
Phi  Bete  Lecture 

Dr.  Edwin  G.  Boring,  Harvard 
professor  of  psychology  and  for- 
mer president  of  the  American 
PsycholoRical  Association,  will  dis- 
cuss "Is  Man  a  Machine?"  on 
Tuesday  night  at  8  P.M.  in  the 
Biology  Lab.  This  lecture  will  be 
sponsored  by  the  psychology  de- 
partment and  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 

A  member  of  the  National  Acad- 
emy of  Sciences  and  several  other 
scholarly  societies,  Boring  is  edi- 
tor of  "Contemporary  Psychology" 
and  was  the  editor  of  the  "Ameri-

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

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 
paid  by  each  student  but  no  such 
plans  are  in  the  offing.  The  figure 
is  arbitrary  and  its  existence  is 
purely  the  policy  of  the  college  and 
not  an  attempt  to  meet  the  costs

Officials  Propose 
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.

Council  Receives 
Presidents'  Letter 

No  quorum  was  present  at  the 
Monday  meeting  of  the  College 
Council.  The  members  present  a- 
greed  to  sit  informally  to  receive 
reports. 

William  Edgar,  editor  of  the 
RECORD  read  a  letter  signed  by 
13  fraternity  presidents  suggest- 
ing the  replacement  of  the  College 
Council  by  an  Undergraduate 
Council  composed  of  direct  repre- 
sentatives of  the  college  social 
units.    iSee  page  2.) 

Dean  of  the  College  Robert  R. 
R.  Brooks  summarized  the  history 
of  student  government  at  Williams 
since    1946. 

President  Hyland  charged  the 
Rorke  Committee  on  Constitution- 
al Revision  to  investigate  means 
of  making  the  Council  itself  more 
representative.  The  sentiment  of 
the  Council  was  that  a  directly 
representative  assembly  would  get 
bogged  down  by  insisting  that  all 
questions  be  voted  upon  by  the 
students. 

The  discussion  was  brief.  The 
Council  awaits  definite  proposals 
to  alter  the  Constitution  before 
taking   action.

delCeyserLingk  Teacher 
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 
iv.ulti-lingual  household  in  Tsar- 
ykoe  Selo.  Her  family  left  in  mid- 
1'17  for  their  summer  home  in 
1  inland  and  never  returned,  aban- 
I  'Hing  her  father's  business  and 
'  •'  family  p)ossessions  to  Bolshe- 
^i'c  confiscation. 

Translator   at    Nurnberg 

Her  education,  begun  in  Russia. 
^^■»s  completed  in  Switzerland.  Af- 
ti  r  some  difficulties  with  the  Na- 
s-'s  she  came  to  the  United  States 
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 
Mitchell,  renowned  Columbia  Uni- 
versity professor. 

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


DORIS  de  KEYSERLINGK 
"Vot  Darya   Andrevna" 

at  the  Nurnberg  War  Trials  after 
the  war.  Using  the  UN's  simultan- 
eous system,  she  translated  Rus- 
sian into  German,  directly  ad- 
dressing Goering  and  other  Nazi 
big  shots. 

When  the  trial  ended  she  was 
offered  other  jobs  in  Occupied 
Germany's  military  government, 
including  two  years  with  USAF  in- 
telligence. Her  seven-year  contact 
with  American  Occupation  per- 
sonnel convinced  her  that  "Am- 
ericans are  terribly  handicapped 
in  foreign  languages,"  and  .she  de- 
cided to  teach  in  America.  She 
taught  last  year  at  Bennington. 

Beating  around  the  bush,  this 
interviewer  asked  her  about  her 
age.  Beating  around  the  bush  too, 
she  retorted  that  she  considered 
herself  "a  woman  of  mature  Age" 
and  left  it  at  that.

The  letter  suggests  establishment 
of  an  Undergraduate  Council  com- 
posed of  the  15  house  presidents 
I  who  make  up  the  present  Social 
Council),  a  representative  from  the 
non-affiliates,  5  representatives 
from  the  freshman  class,  and  the 
four  class  presidents.  This  council 
would,  according  to  the  proposal, 
replace  the  CC. 

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 
Time",  and  a  "corrected"  version 
of  the  Nazi  "Who's  Who"  "Das 
Deutsche  Fuhrerlexikon"  from  the 
library  of  Professor  Robert  G.  L. 
Waite. 


Conte    Club 


Since  its  organization  two  weeks 
ago,  the  Williams  "Conte  for  Con- 
gress Club"  has  stepped  with  full 
stride  into  the  area  Congressional 
campaign. 

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 
Conte  cannot  appear.

Rally 


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."

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.

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.

Williams'  theatic  is,  of  eomse,  an  academic  theatre.  But  j.s  \\ 
fulfilling  its  obligations?  Or,  more  aeenrately,  just  what  are  the.s, 
obligations,  and  to  whom'r' 

Ciles  Playfair,  the  Director  of  the  AMT  has  a  policv  for  tji 
theatre  at  Williams  (Jollege,  the  justifiability  of  which   he  wil: 
argue  with  overpowering  skill.  Paiamount   in  this   policv  is  tlv 
belief  that  the  academic  theatre  must  place  in   the  hjrefront  ( 
its  consideration  those  plays  at  which  eonnnereial  theatre,  bouu'' 
by  |)rofit  and  loss,  will  balk.   And  being  educational   theatre,   V 
feels  that  an  alignment  must  be  UKide  between  those  "gicat"  nla\ 
]iresented  in  the  college  curriculum,  and  tin'  AMT  productions. 

In  both  )3()ints,  1  feel  that  Mr.  Playfair  is  uudeniablv  rigln 
But  other  |)oints  remain  tmanswered.  unsoK'ed,  oi-,  in  some  case 
unjustified. 

Initially  Cap  and  Bells  should  not  produce  |)lays.  A  produc 
tion  at  the  theatre  should  be  an  AMT  production,  PEHIOD.  'j,,,, 
many  cooks  are  ruining  the  thespian  vittles.  Cap  and  Bells  ,i 
a  Dramatics  CIlub  is  fine;  it  can  perform  a  useful  and  stimuhil 
iug  fimction.  But  it  has  no  |)lace  in  the  go\crning  status  of  a  pi(, 
chicing  body.  If  we  are  to  call  Plavfair  the  theatre  direetor,  let  hin 
be  just  that,  and  have  a  decent  chance  to  place  his  tlic^atiicir 
theories  before  us. 

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( 
far.  Why  not  more  imported  perfornianees?  Any  why  not  a  toiii- 
ing  opera?  Such  companies  e.xist,  and  would  present  a  superb 
educational  and  cidtural  opportiinitv  hn  the  entire  coinmunitv 
both  town  and  gown. 

Third,  it  would  be  entirelv  within  Plavfair's  code  to  |5rodue( 
new,  and  as  yet,  un|5rodueed  plays.  In  the  past  year  \aV-  and 
Boston  UniviTsitv  did  this.  Plavhu'r  had  hoped  to  do  tlu'  .samr 
But  let's  make  it  policy-one  new  play  a  veai',  if  at  all  possible. 
iMany  of  these  efforts  may  be  (piite  imperfect,  and  without  th( 
poli.sh  of  the  sea.soned  playwright,  Some  new  plavs-especialh 
those  written  by  students-may  iiot  justifv  production  on  the  big 
stage;  but  they  ought  to  be  seen  in  the  experimental  theatre.  Cri- 
tieism-however  severe-is  eraxcd  by  these  people;  thev  need  il 
and  deserve  it. 

Finally  too  many  of  you  have  formed  your  o|)ini()ns  of  the 
entire  theatre  program,  without  gi\ing  the  theatre  a  chance.  CO 
to  the  A.MT-you  have  been  gi\-en  a  ticket-then  if  \'ou  jilease. 
crucify  it.  If  you  are  to  be  a  critic,  you  inunediately  place  your- 
self in  debt  to  know  that  which  you  ciiticize. 

And  in  merely  attending,  von  will  be  helping  to  solve  one 
of  the  AMT's  greatest  i)roblems;the  theatre  cannot  ])ossiblv  Inh 
nil  any  ouhgations  unless  you  are  in  the  audience.

went  on  to  post  tliree  touchdowns 
and  a  pair  of  conversions  for  22 
points.  The  Coast  Guard  score, 
which  came  on  a  last  minute  pass, 
was  the  first  tally  against  Amherst

.scores  came  on  a  70  yard  burst 
from  scrimmage  midway  through 
the  third  period. 

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 
in  the  last  four  years. 

Tufts,  next  week's  opponent, 
came  from  behind  Saturday  to  de- 
leat  Franklin  and  Marshall  28-18.

ook  third  place  right  behind 
Morss  as  he  ran  a  fine  teem  race, 
George  Sudduth  also  Co-captain, 
pulled  up  in  fifth  position, 

Sudduth   is  not   yet  running   in 


what  could  be  considered  mid-sea-

the  lithe  senior  should  break  a

Sophomore  Brian  O'Leary  crossed 
the  finish  line  just  steps  behind 
Sudduth  and  was  pres.sed  most  of 
the  way  by  senior  Dave  Canfield. 

This  gave  Williams  five  men  in 
the  top  nine  and  virtually  assured 
the  outcome  in  favor  of  the  Pur- 
ple. With  Tim  Enos  and  John  Al- 
len each  adding  to  the  point  total.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  22,  1958 


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-

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

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   iii'd  that  the  current   "equilib-

an.wered  for  the  negative  team 
witli  the  admission  that  there  are 
lisks  involved  in  nuclear  testing, 
but  they  are  almost  insignificant

halting  the  tests  would  bring.  He

"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

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- 
sent threat  to  human  health  is 
not  serious,  at  most  only  tw^o  days 
in  the  life  expectancy  of  an  in- 
dividual, and  that  continuation  of 
tests  is  not  a  provocative,  but  a 
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 
Union,  and  only  it  accompanied 
by  an  agreement  to  reduce  con- 
ventional armaments  could  such  a 
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 


>\VI1 


iiaist 


should  have  national  self-consciousness.  Furthermore,  he  (|q 
not  seem  to  have  a  clear  idea  of  what  a  .self-consciousness  is  u 
is  an  awareness  of  self.  A  self  must  exist  first  and  then  awaiciies. 
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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY.  OCTOBER  24,  1958 


'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. 


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  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.  Address:  24  E.  39  Street,  just 
off  Madison  Av.  Warning:  be  sure  to  leave  a  call. 
Most  people  tend  to  oversleep  in  those  soft,  warm, 
Mae-made  beds.

NATIONAL  SCIENCE  FOUNDA- 
TION GRANT:  John  A.  MacFad-

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.

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  OCTOBER  24,  1958 


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 
[will  listen  to  his  guilty  confession 
iwitli  sympathy  and  understanding 
'and  without  shocli." 

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

Tufts  Sports  Editor  Predicts  Victory 
For  Visitors;  Linemen  Strong  Point 


THE  WILLIAMS    RECORD,  FRIDAY.  OCTOBER  24,  1958 


By   Steve  Fraidin 
Sport  Editor,  Tufts  Weekly 

The  Tufts  football  team  will 
miter  its  contest  with  Williams 
with  an  undefeated  lecoid.  The 
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 
windup.

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 

By  employing  a  panic  defense, 
the  Dartmouth  freshmen  held  the 
strong  Williams  line  scoreless  and 
fashioned  a  0-0  tie  at  Hanover  on 
Tuesday.

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 


corner  kicks  to  its  opponent's  2 
and  forced  the  Green  defenders  to 
boot  21  goal  kicks  to  12  of  its  own 
show  the  pressure  the  Purple  line 
put  on  the  opposition's  goal. 

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 
deep  to  his  opponent's  backhand, 
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 
the  last  game.  A  long  rally  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.

Class  Unity 

The  idea  of  the  Revue  was  ini- 
tiated by  Cap  and  Bells  early  in 
.S'jptember  to  provide  entertain- 
ment for  the  freshman  parents 
and  to  get  the  freshmen  working 
.OT^'her  and  interested  in  the 
.'XMT.  It  took  one  month  to  pre- 
pare the  lyrics,  book  and  music. 

The  first  Freshman  Revue  was 
organized  by  Culman  four  years 
ago.  This  has  developed  into  the 
now  traditional  All-College  Mu- 
sical.

stitutional problems  at  great 
length  and  proposed  that  the

"Despite  the  rain,  1  thought  that  this  was  oim.*  ot  the  best

K.  Brooks  at  tli(,-  College  Council  meeting  .Monday  iiigiit,  (^uite

o\er  the  steps,  Dm  as  ueaii  brooks  iiuteci,  there  is  no  way  ot 
Knowing  thai  tliey  aie  Uetinitely  at  fault. 

.Mr.  Teter  VVelaiietz,  Su|5eriiiteii'.;ent  oi  liuiklings  and  Grounds, 
could  not  estimate  the  extent  ot  the  uauiage,  Dut  ditl  exijlaiii 
that  tlie  columns  would  liave  to  be  sandblasted—  a  very  expensive 
procedure,  lieeause  enamel  paint  was  used,  no  solvent  is  success- 
lul.  In  audition,  die  paint  lias  pennt-ai-eu  the  lunestone  columns 
to  sucli  an  extent  that  it  is  impossible  to  tell  just  how  inucli  sand- 
Ijlastiiig  will  be  necessary. 

VVeianetz  also  noted  that  if  the  eoluiiins  are  sandblasted,  they 
will  become  white  and  be  out  ol  context  with  the  rest  ot  tlie 
weathered  building.  An  attempt  to  match  the  appearance  would 
be  unsuccessful,  lor  in  time  the  columns  would  weatlier  and  show 
a  color  difference.  'To  sandblast  alf  of  CliaiJiii  Hall  would  not 
only  be  difficult  but  also  expensive. '  At  the  moment  a  solution 
has  not  been  reached. 

Other  damage  to  the  college  appeared  around  the  Held  where 
painting  was  doi'ic  on  the  press  box,  field  house,  goal  posts,  Car- 
goyle  gates  and  in  the  middle  of  the  field.  VVeianetz  estimates 
this  damage  at  aiDproximately  $200. 

An  investigation  is  in  process  initiated  by  some  minor  clues. 
IJean  Brooks  expressed  his  hojie  that  thi.s  mcideiit  would  "remind

Newman  Club  To  Hold 
Lectures  Each  Week 

The  Williams  College  Newman 
Club  has  announced  that  it  is  in- 
augurating a  series  of  weekly  lec- 
tures on  "Faith  and  Intellectual 
Understanding"  to  be  given  by  the 
Rev.  Francis  Donohue. 

"The  series  will  be  aimed  at  giv- 
ing the  Catholic  student  at  Wil- 
liams a  more  thorough  knowledge 
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] 
Institute  In  Rome.  ' 


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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  29,  1958 


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.

been  ])ut  before  them.  For  our  political  con- 
sciousness is  intrinsically  connected  with  our 
news  consciousness. 

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. 
The  simple  desire  to  be  news-conscious  leads 
them  (as  the  upper  class)  but  at  the  same  time

The  students  at  Italian  uniscrsities  co!  u-

somewhat  Irom  the  middle  class.  They  form  u 
interesting  comparison  to  American  studcnls 
whose  schedides  are  often  so  full  of  other  infln- 
ences  that  ])()litics  is  not  an  integral  |)art  of  th-  ir

l.irward  I've  seen  in  intercojlej^iate  circles."  Ale,\  (;nild  pound- 
id  ill  two  f^oals  for  the  visitors  and  set  up  the  third. 


Weather  Slows  Game 

Pre-game  raporis  warned  of  Tri- 
y's  powerful  front  line  but  the 
.iinen  were  able  to  bottle  up 
lild  61  Co.  until  just  before  the 
d  of  the  firot  half  when  Trinity 
ired. 

The  rain  ana  wind  .slowed  both 
ills  Out  Will.ams  seemed  to  have 
i;e     trouble  than  Trinity     with 

a'  long  kiclis. 
On  the  opening  kickoff   In   the 

ond  half.  Guild  dribbled  almost 
lOUgh   the  entire  Eph  backfield 

score.  Williams  came  back  in 
r  fourth  quarter  on  a  .sharp  play 

center  forward  Ben  Field  to 
ike  it  2-1  but  Trinity  put  the 
m3  on  ice  with  their  third  goal 
e  minutes  before  the  end  of  the 
me. 

Ihe  tensenes.s  of  the  game  was 
iphasized  by  the  fact  that  Wil- 
ms outshot  their  opponent  for 
e  fifth  game  in  a  row,  27-17.  The 
inlty  goalie  collected  23  saves 
.lile  DeMallie,  continuing  his  fine 
ay  stopped  16.

Freshmen  20-14 

The  injury-laden  freshman  foot- 
ball team  dropped  a  clo.se  encoun- 
ter to  the  University  of  Vermont 
ircshmen,  Saturday,  20-14. 

After  the  frosh  fumbled  on  the 
first  play  from  .scrimmage,  the 
nome  team  drove  down  to  take  the 
lead.  The  junior-Ephs  came  right 
back  with  a  toucndcwn  and  extra 
point  to  take  the  lead  8-6  in  the 
second  quarter. 

Vermont  then  went  on  a  scoring 
spree,  tallying  three  times  before 
the  freshman  got  back  in  the  ball 
game,  in  the  late  third  quarter, 
when  they  sustained  a  75  yard 
drive  to  score. 

The  Williams  contingent  conti- 
nued to  dominate  play  throughout 
the  fourth  quarter,  but  were  un- 
able to  score.  The  final  gun  sound-

Williams  Runners 
Gain  Second  Win 

Over  a  wet  course  here  Saturday 
the  Williams  varsity  cross  coun- 
try team  defeated  Tufts  25-34  for 
its   second   victory. 

Although  Moore  and  Benedict  of 
Tufts  finished  one-two,  the  for- 
mer in  a  record  setting  20:32,  five 
Ephs  finished  in  third  through 
seventh  position  to  pull  the  meet 
out  of  the  fire. 

■Ihe  race,  wiiich  was  the  fastest 
ever  run  on  the  Williams  course, 
began  as  a  battle  between  Moore 
and  Dave  Canfield,  in  which  ih^ 
lead  changed  hands  four  times. 
At  the  3  and  one-quarter  niik 
mark  Benedict  took  over  seconci. 
Coming  down  fraternity  row,  Lph 
Bill  Moomaw  moved  into  third 
place  and  held  it  to  the  faiisii 
though  closely  followed  by  Can- 
field,  Buzz  Mor.ss,  Brian  O'Leary, 
and  Steve  Saunders. 

Freshmen    Win 

The  undefeated  freshman  team 
also  dumped  Tufts  freshmen  last 
Saturday  by  a  20-35  score.  It  was 
I  heir  second  win  in  two  starts  af- 
ter beating  Deerfield  five  days  be- 
fore. 

Spike  Kellog  of  Williams  led  all 
the  way  in  the  race  to  win  over 
the  shorter  course  in  a  fast  14:14, 
clipping  seven  seconds  off  the  old 
frosh  record  set  by  a  Deerfield 
runner  last  year.

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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  OCTOBER  29,  1958 


Williams  Bridge  Club

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.

be  no  politics."  Nor  was  there  ever 
any  doubt  that  Roo.sevelt  wanted 
to  be  president  or  that  he  loved 
politics,  for,  Blum  pointed  out,  he 
made  and  controlled  his  party  in  a 
way  that  few  presidents  before  or 
since  have  done. 

Blum  also  noted  that  Roosevelt 
was  perhaps  the  most  learned  of 
all  modern  presidents  in  a  great 
variety  of  subjects  ranging  from 
history  and  science  to  naval  tac- 
tics and  strategy,  from  conserva- 
tion to  administrative  reorganiza- 
tion.

By  feeding  the  trees  with  a  com-

limited  success.  By  disposing  of

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. 

The  basement  reading  room 
w'ill  be  open  as  usual  until  1

as  the  auiMuil  licsliinaii  parents  weekciicl  i)c_u,iiis  today. 

Parents  Irom  all  owr  the  country,  iiicludini^  California  and 
C;e()rji;ia,  are  c>xpeeted.  "It  is  certainly  ^ratifviiifj;  for  tilt'  college 
to  see  so  many  parents  from  such  faraway  jjlaces,"  said  devclop- 
iiieiit  director  William  Dickerson,  who  is' in  change  of  weekend 
])lans. 

About  two-thirds  of  the  fresh- 
man class  are  expecting  visitors. 
The  total  number  of  parents  and 
friends  is  expected  to  be  about 
435.  According  to  Dickerson  the 
number  attending  is  not  unusual, 
but  the  geographical  distribution 
is  remarkable. 

Schedule 

The  weekend's  events  will  begin 
tonight  when  baritone  John  Hor- 
nor  '51,  will  present  a  concert  in 
Chapin  Hall.  Tomorrow  morning, 
parents  are  invited  to  attend  clas- 
ses with  their  sons. 

Saturday  noon,  visitors  will  be 
guests  of  the  college  for  a  lunch- 
eon at  the  Alumni  House.  The  af- 
ternoon program  includes  a  fresh- 
man football  game  against  Nor- 
wich. 

At  7  p.m.  freshmen  and  their 
parents  will  have  dinner  in  Bax- 
ter Hall.  Tlie  dinner  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  a  meeting  in  Chapin 
Hall,  at  which  time  President 
Baxter  and  Dean  of  Freshmen 
William  G.  Cole  will  speak. 

At  9:30  freshmen  will  present  a 
revue  at  the  Adams  Memorial  The- 
ater. The  weekend  closes  officially 
with  Chapel  at  11  a.m.  Sunday. 
President  Baxter  will  deliver  the 
sermon. 


issues  Examined 
In  Political  Panel 

The  issues  and  candidates  in  the 
coming  elections  will  be  discus.sed 
in  a  panel  sponsored  by  the  Adel- 
phic  Union.  The  panel,  "Election- 
1958",  will  be  held  Monday  night 
in  Jesup  Hall. 

Analyzing  the  Republican  view- 
point will  be  Richard  Hunter  of 
Ide  Road,  co-chairman  of  the  lo- 
cal Republican  Committee,  and 
Mike  Dively  '61,  of  the  "Williams 
Young  Republicans. 

MacAUister  Brown,  assistant 
professor  of  political  science,  and 
Frank  Johnson  '59,  a  member  of 
the  Williams  College  Young  Dem- 
ocrats Committee,  will  speak  for 
the  Democrats. 

Professor  Kermit  Gordon  of  the 
economics  department  will  be  the 
iiiuueialui  ul  the  paiiel.  Brown 
and  Johnson  and  Gordon  have 
campaigned  for  candidate  Burns, 
and  Dively  has  been  active  in  the 
college  campaign  for  the  Republi- 
can candidate  Conte. 


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

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,

Senatorial,  Gubernatorial  Candidates 
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-

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.

ON 
THE 
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.

Norwich  Opposes 
Frosh  Tomorrow 


The  freshman  football  team 
opens  its  liome  sea.son  tomorrow 
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- 
ers at  tackles,  co-captain  Kent 
Collins  and  Bill  Waddell  at  guards, 
and  Paul  Hill  at  center.  In  the 
backfield  will  be  co-captain  Bruce 
Grinell  at  quarterback  supported 
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-

In  the  backfield,  Hayward  and 
Vorhees  will  alternate  at  quarter- 
back. Vorhees  has  a  capable  arm 
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 
the  blocking.  He  also  plays  the 
flanker  and  is  Vorhees  favorite 
target. 

Williams  will  have  Jim  Briggs 
operating  again  at  quarterback,  in 
place  of  still  ailing,  Gary  Higgins. 
Sandy  Smith  will  be  at  left  end 
in  the  absence  of  Rich  Kagan 
and  Bob  Lowden  will  take  over 
for  Bill  Hedeman  at  right  tackle. 

Williams  will  enter  the  game  a 
four  touchdown  favorite,  with  a 
strong  possibility  of  duplicating 
last  year's  65-0  rout.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  OCTOBER  31,  1958 


Campaigns 

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- 
head.  It  will  be  another  close  one 
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. 

CALIFORNIA 

In  what  has  been  played  up  to 
be  the  most  important  race  in  1958 
Democratic  State  Attorney  Gener- 
al Pat  Brown  is  contesting  Repub- 
lican Senator  William  Knowland 
for  the  governorship  of  Califor- 
nia. In  the  background  is  the  sena- 
torial struggle  between  Republican 
Governor  Goodwin  J.  ("Goodie") 
Knight  and  little-known  Claij-  En- 
gle. 

Issues 

Issues  in  the  campaign  center 
mainly  around  Knowland's  terri- 
fying (to  Republicans)  support  of 
a   right-to-work    law,    which    has

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.

Prof .  Wald  To  Discuss 
^The  Origin  Of  Life' 

Professor  George  Wald  of  Har- 
vard University  will  discuss  "Tlie 
Origin  of  Life"  Thursday  evening 
at  8  in  the  Biology  Laboratory 
auditorium.  The  talk,  co-spon.sored 
by  ihe  Williams  Lecture  Commit- 
tee and  the  Biology  Department. 
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- 
mittee. These  lecturers  will  stay 
for  more  than  one  day  so  they 
can  give  cla.ss  lectures  as  well  as 
evening  lectures.  The  philosophy 
and  German  departments  are 
planning  guest  lecturers  in  the 
near  future. 

Friday    Morninpt    Talk 

Friday  morning  at  10.  Wald  will 
give  a  more  specific  talk  on  "The 
Significance  of  Vertebrate  Meta- 
morphosis" in  the  Biology  Lab- 
oratory. Room  307.  This  talk  is 
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- 
nal of  General  Physiology"  and 
other  scientific  publications.  He  al- 
so co-authored  "General  Educa- 
tion in  a  Free  Society." 

Research  Awards 

In  1939.  Dr.  Wald  vvas  given  the 
Eli  Lilly  Research  Award  for  fun- 
damental research  in  biological 
chemistry  awarded  by  the  Ameri- 
can Public  Health  A.ssociation. 
Last  year  he  was  given  an  honor- 
ary M.  D.  by  the  University  of 
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- 
search Fellow  in  Biology  from 
1932-34.  A  trustee  of  the  Marine 
Biological  Laboratory  in  Woods 
Hole,  and  a  fellow  of  the  New  'York

Tlie  basic  jurisdiction  of  the 
College  Council  and  the  Social 
Council  would  not  be  changed  un- 
der the  Castle  proposal.  The  ma- 
jor distinction  between  tlie  two 
Councils  is  that  the  members  of 
the  CC  are  DELEGATED  to  vote 
as  their  conscience  directs  while 
the  members  of  the  SC  are  RE-

The  proposal  was  discussed  Sun-

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.

Everybody  s  Porridge:  VI 
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

Letter  To  The  Editor 

GOV'T    CONTROVERSY 

Editor's  Note:  In  its  original  form  this  letter  was 
too  loii^  to  he  publLshca  in  its  entirety.  The  edi- 
tors have  taken  the  liberti/  of  ctitting  it  to  print- 
ahk  length.  Wc  hope  that  we  have  iwt  in  any 
woij  distorted  what  Mr.  Maidinun  originally 
wrote. 

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

members  of  the  SC]  by  virtue  of  tiieir  iiositions  so  that  they  \v(,„lj 
not  be  delegates  from  their  fraternitii's  to  the  SC. 

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- 
endum  provisions  of  the  CC  Coustitutiou,  or  they  must  cvcnise 
"personal  responsibility  for  their  own  conduct  ancl  the  welfmr  of

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 
Art  Flemming,  a  member  of  the 
president's  cabinet,  and  Listen 
Pope  Dean  of  the  Yale  Divinity 
Scnool.  No  specific  dates  for  these 
appearances  have  been  scheduled. 

On  November  19,  the  entire 
WCC  will  meet  to  consider  minor 
changes  in  the  constitution.  These 
alterations  will  not  affect  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  body.  The  wording 
will  only  be  made  stronger  on  cer- 
tain points  in  order  to  satisfy 
Christian  organizations  like  the 
YMCA  of  which  the  WCC  is  a 
member. 

A  WCC  debating  group  headed 
by  Cotton  Pite,  which  has  already 
appeared  before  the  freshmen,  has 
been  made  available  to  any  inter- 
ested organization.  The  group  will 
debate  any  topic  which  its  patrons 
request.

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 
of  fifteen  "prestige"  schoUu  .sliips 
awarded  to  Williams  men  foi  fur. 
ther  study,  one-third,  or  fiv.'  were 
for  study  abroad.

Springfield   Edges 
2-1  Win  Over  Ephs; 
Baring-Gould  Scores 

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.

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- 
ukawa  were  interviewed  by  the 
RECORD  about  their  first  impres- 
sions of  American  football, 

"At  the  Middlebury  game,"  says 
Juno,  "I  saw  Williams  advancing 
all  the  time.  It  seemed  unfair  that 
they  did  not  give  Middlebury  a 
chance   to  advance   the  ball." 

"That  machine  you  use  for  kick- 
ing extra  points  tthe  kicking  tee). 
I  thought  you  were  going  to  use 
it  as  a  mace  as  they  did  in  the 
middle  ages,"  Guido  remarked. 
"When  a  Williams  man  tackled  a 
Colby  man,  I  expected  Williams  to 
get  the  ball.  I  couldn't  see  why 
Colby  should  keep  the  ball  if  Wil- 
liams stopped  him." 

"There  is  too  much  whistling  in 
American  football,"  observed  Juno, 
"Always  the  whistle  stops  the  man 
from  running  end  to  end.  I  was 
disappointed  when  I  didn't  see 
pretty  girls  dancing  and  cheering 
for  V/illiams,"

'Egghead'  BroadcasV 

To  Be  Given  Sunday] 

I 

Due  to  the  "equal  time"  prob- 
lem, the  taped  panel  discussion 
"Are  Egyheads  a  Political  Liabili- 
ty?" will  be  broadcast  over  the 
Mutual  Broadcasting  System  on 
Sunday,  November  9. 

Originally  scheduled  for  Sunday, 
November  2,  the  broadcast  was 
postpnned  until  after  Elections 
because  two  of  the  panelists  are 
active  candidates  for  office.  They 
are  Professor  James  M.  Burns  of 
Massachusetts  Democratic  candi- 
date in  the  first  Congressional  Dis- 
trict of  Massachusetts  and  George 
VanSantvoord,  Democratic  candi- 
date for  State  Senator  from  Ben- 
nington (Vt.i  County.  The  third 
panelist  was  Professor  Harris 
Thurber   of   Middlebury    College. 

The  panel  took  place  at  Wil- 
liams last  week  as  part  of  a  13- 
program  series  entitled  "College 
Crossfire."  It  was  sponsored  by  the 
seven  colleges  in  the  "College  Tri- 
angle," including  Union.  Skidmore. 
R.  P.  I.,  Russell  Sage,  Albany 
State  Teachers  College,  Benning- 
ton,  and   Williams. 

The  "egghead"  panel  was  re- 
placed by  a  discussion  of  "Should 
Foreign  Aid  Be  Used  as  A  Cold 
War  Weapon?",  prepared  by  Skid- 
more  College.  On  that  panel  were 
Dr.  Henry  Gallant,  Dr.  Sonia  Kar- 
sen,  former  U.  N.  technical  aid 
officer  Charles  Grailcourt,  and  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Carl   Vo.ss.

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."

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.

or  they  could  pay  a  $6.05  tax  per 
person,  every  student  receiving  the 
yearbook. 

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," 


TKAGEDIKNNE  .lAMOIS 
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-

Savacool  emphasized. 


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

ior year. 

The  speaker  at  this  Sunday's 
chapel  service  will  be  the  Rev. 
George  Williams  Webber.  His 
topic  will  be  "The  FooIishne.ss

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.

The  increase  of  the  cultivated  area  will  be 
made  possible  through  the  fuller  use  of  the  Nile

RALLY 

ROUND 

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.

Cole  Field  Practice   Session 


The  Wesleyan  Cardinals  bring 
a  3-3  record  into  Williamstown 
Saturday  as  they  engage  Williams 
in  Its  initial  contest  in  defense 
of  the  Little  Tnree  Crown.  Wes- 
leyan dropped  a  19-0  decision  two 
weeks  ago  to  Amherst  and  tlius 
can  only  hope  for  a  three  way  tie 
for  the  title. 

The  Cards  will  bring  up  a  much 
taster  team  this  Saturday  than  the 
one  which  succumbed  to  Williams 
last  year  at  Middletown.  The  oack- 
field  boasts  at  least  two  men  that 
can  go  all  the  way  at  any  mo- 
ment. Aherns,  the  right  halfback 
and  co-captain  went  87  yards  last 
week  with  a  kickoff  return  while 
his  replacement  DiMoro  scooted 
17  with  a  punt  to  .set  up  the  win

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.

Curriculum  Body 
Instituted  By  CC 

The  College  Council  last  week 
passed  a  motion  to  create  a  Stu- 
dent Curriculum  Committee.  The 
motion,  initiated  by  CC  president 
Jack  Hyland,  calls  for  a  committee 
composed  of  three  members  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa,  one  representative 
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: 
Bob  Hatcher  '59:  Ron  Mendelblat 
'59:  Lou  Lustenberger  '59;  Hal

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. 


By    Sam    Parkhill 

Two  scoring  sprints  around  right 
end  by  halfback  Chip  Ide  were 
enough  to  give  Williams  a  16-7 
victory  over  Wesleyan  last  Sat- 
urday on  Weston  Field  and  the 
'.irst  leg  on  the  Little  Three  title. 
An  estimated  crowd  of  5000 
'lomtoommg  fans  watched  the 
(Cardinals    jump    to    a    quick    7-0 

ead   in  the   first   period   in  what 

ooked  like  a  possible  upset  only 
lo  see  the  game  decided  the  other 

vay  in  the  first  half  on  Ide's  pair 

1  tallies. 

Dan  Rorke,  Williams  workhorse 
i  11  afternoon,  and  also  the  out- 
landing  back  on  the  field,  picked 
'ip  four  points  of  his  own  on 
;  lunges   for    the    points    after.    A 

vere  case  of  the  bobbles  caused

Wesleyan  Takes  Early  Lead 

Williams  took  the  opening  kick- 
off  and  in  twelve  plays  marched 
to  the  Wesleyan  11 -yard  line.  Two 
Incomplete  passes  gave  Wesleyan 
tlie  ball  first  and  ten.  Each  team 
tlien  fumbled  the  ball  away  and 
Wesleyan  again  had  possession  on 
its  22-yard  line.  With  second  and 
twelve  Tony  DeMiro,  a  160  lb. 
sophomore  took  the  handoff  on  a 
r.-^verse  to  the  left,  cut  up  the  mid- 
tlle  and  streaked  80  yards  for  6 
points.  The  placement  was  good  to 
give  Wesleyan  a  7-0  lead.

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.

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."

Career  Choices 
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.

Eph  Frosh  Drop 
Soccer  Game  2-0 

Outplayed  and  outshot  in  the 
first  half,  lire  Wesleyan  freshmen 
stormed  back  in  the  final  period 
to  trip  the  Ephmen,  2-0.  Sparked 
by  speedy  Mike  Duval's  two  goals, 
the  Cardinals  clinched  the  Little 
Three  title  won  by  Williams  in 
1957. 

The  Purple  team  opened  fast. 
.Again  and  again  they  pushed  the 
ball  into  the  Red  goal  area  and 
fired  away,  but  were  thwarted  by 
.he  efforts  of  goalie  Dick  Duban- 
awski,  whose  fantastic  one-hand 
save  ended  the  first  half,  Williams 
11)  shots,  Wesleyan  5. 

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.

23-34  last  Saturday  on  Mie  Eph

Brown  led  the  race  for  most  of 
the  distance  and  finished  strong

REPOSSESSED 

Lawyer  Victor  Summers 
entered  the  tavern  (moving 
forward,  one  step  at  a  time) 
anfl  sat  down  (instinctive- 
ly) on  a  vacant — until  his 
own  occupancy  rendered  it 
non-vacant— bar  stool. The

Wesleyan  Frosh  Beat 
Eph  Harriers   23-32 

The  unbeaten  Wesleyan  fresh- 
man cross  country  team  defeated 
Williams  on  Saturday  by  a  23-32 
score.  The  meet  was  run  over  the 
Eph  2  and  three-quarter  mile 
freshman  course. 

Winner  of  the  race  was  Colbert 
of  the  Cardinals,  who  set  a  new 
course  record  of  14:13.4 — over  27 
.seconds  better  than  the  14:40 
mark  set  by  Williams'  Spike  Kel- 
logg two  weeks  ago  against  Tufts.

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."

riiilip  .Morris,  of  corris! 

I'hilip  .Mcirris  is  always  welcciine,  liut  never  more  th:in  when

is  the  time  for  the  mildness,  thi'  MMcnity,  that  only  Philip  Morris 
can  supply. 

Pancho  Sigafoos,  his  hroken  p-yche  welded,  his  fev(M-ed  brow 
cooled,  liis  synapses  restored,  ,al'tiT  smoking  a  fine  I'liili])  Morris, 
came  to  a  decision.  Though  he  was  .a  hit  sTiiall  for  footh.all  (an 
ev(Mi  four  feet)an(l  .somewhat  overweight  (-rj"  pounds),  lu'  tried 
out  for  the  team— and  tried  out  with  such  grit  and  gumption 
that  he  made  it. 

Pancho's  collepre  opened  tli<'  season  against  the  >ranhaltan 
School  of  Mines,  always  a  mettlesome  foe,  hut  strenglheiieil 
this  year  by  four  exchange  students  from  (  uhraltar  who  had  been 
suckled  by  she-apes.  By  the  middle  of  the  second  <|U.arti'r  the 
Miners  liad  wr<iughtsn<^h  havoc  upon  Pancho's  team  that  there 
was  nobody  left  on  the  bench  but  I'ancho.  .And  when  the 
qu.arterback  was  sent  to  the  inlirm.ary  with  liis  head  driven 
straiglil  down  into  his  esophagus,  the  coach  had  no  clioice  hut 
to  put  Panclio  in. 

Pancho's  teaimnates  were  not  conspicuously  cheered  as  the 
little  I'ellow  took  bis  place  in  the  Inidille.

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.

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.

Williams  was  unable  to  put  to-

up  Spring  Street.

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. 


Reporter  Reveals 
*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.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  WEDNESDAY,  NOVEMBER  12,  1958 


Prof.  Burns  Will  Resume  Teaching 
Next  Fall,  Plans  Political  Research 

Professor  James  M.  Hums,  wlio  was  recently  defeated  iiii  his 
campaign  for  Couj^ress,  will  return  to  his  teachiii);  career  at  Wil- 
liams next  fall.  "I'm  looking  forward  to  returning  to  the  academic 
life    of  a   college,"   he    said.    For  the   rest    of   this  year,   Burns 


hopes  to  continue  his  research 
and  writing  on  American  politics. 
Except  for  one  or  two  research 
trips,  he  will  be  in  Williamstown. 
Bole  of  Party  Organization 

"I  am  Interested  in  explaining 
further  the  role  of  party  organi- 
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.

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.

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- 
chardson won  the  1957  game  with 
a  goal  in  the  last  three  seconds. 

Prosh  captain  John  Haslett  will 
lead  Williams  against  Amherst 
Saturday.  The  Ephs  have  a  2-1-1 
recoi-d  while  Amherst  has  won 
only  one  game,  losing  to  Wesleyan 
4-1.  High  .scorer  for  the  host  .squad 
is  right  wing,  Robin  Mahar  who 
garnered  two  in  the  Amherst  4-0 
win  over  UMass  last  week. 


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.

Varsity    Harriers 
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 
contests  in  Cross  Country  and  Soc- 
cer as  well  as  the  freshman  foot- 
oall  game.

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 


Congestion  Relieved 

Extension  of  Library  hours 
until  11  P.M.  has  alleviated 
much  of  the  overcrowding  of 
the  lower  reading  room  that 
had  previously  resulted  when 
the  library  closed  at  ten  o'- 
clock. 

Under  the  new  schedule  the 
hours  for  the  professional  li- 
brary staff  have  been  adjusted 
and  the  staff  now  works  36 
hours  per  week.  The  student 
personnel  on  night  duty  at  the 
reserve  desk  are  working  an 
hour  longer  each  night. 

Neighboring  colleges  such  as 
Amherst,  Wesleyan  and  Dart- 
mouth still  remain  open  until 
only  ten  o'clock. 


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  ° 

Jeffs    vs    Tufts 

But  Amherst  had  no  i  ■  i,t,  to  be 
rated  with  teams  like  l  ifayctte 
Buffalo,  or  Williams.  On  tie  other 
hand,  the  Tufts  game  (i'„..s  tend 
to  distort  the  facts  a  lii  ,,..  a^. 
herst  isn't  quite  that  i  a,  xhe 
Jeffs,  however,  have  shown  no  in- 
dication  of  being  able  i  defe^i 
a    really    outstanding   tc.   u 

Spauldinij:  predicts  thai  >,\  iljiam., 
will  defeat  Amherst  on  s.ilurdaj 
by  a  28-8  score.

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 
1  iilcs.  "For  one  thing,"  one  hou.se 


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.

Hotel  Roosevelt. 

Tlie  Ivy  League  Jazz  Band  Ball 
'as  this  BYO  affair  has  been 
called)  will  feature  Stan  Rubin 
with  a  dance  orchestra  and  also 
include  the  Rubin  Tigertown  Five 
and  a  variety  of  traditional  jazz 
greats,  college  jazz  bands,  and 
collegiate  singing   groups. 


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." 


Debaters  Discuss 
Southern  Schools 

Peter  Percival  '60,  Tom  David- 
.son  '59.  Dave  Lee  '60,  and  Bill 
Moomaw  '59,  will  debate  the  reso- 
lution "The  South  should  be  al- 
lowed to  maintain  its  schools  in 
a  .segregated  position"  Wednesday 
at  7:30  p.m.  in  the  Upperclass 
Lounge   of    the   Student   Union. 

Percival  and  Davidson  will  sup- 
port the  affirmative,  while  Lee 
and  Moomaw  will  speak  for  the 
negative. 

Debate   Schedule 

The  Adelphic  Union  has  sche- 
duled a  series  of  debates  this 
weekend.  John  Phillips  '59,  Dick 
Contant  '59,  Ed  Volkman  '62,  and 
Mike  Canon  '62,  will  travel  to  Har- 
vard, while  John  Ferguson  and 
Art  Stewart,  both  freshmen,  will 
travel  to  Wellesley.  Debating  at 
Vermont  will  be  seniors  Lou  Lus- 
tenberger,  Pete  Sachs,  and  Bo 
Kirschen,  Harvey  Carter  '60,  and 
freshmen  Gene  Cassidy,  Fenner 
Milton,  and  Glen  Thurow. 

The  Vermont  Tournament  will 
start  an  intensive  series  of  inter- 
collegiate debates  extending  into 
the  spring.  The  national  topic  dis- 
cussed at  the  majority  of  these 
tournaments  is  the  current  ques- 
tion of  cessation  of  nuclear  test- 
ing.

Gilbert  Stuns  Amherst; 
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.

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.

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.

INTERFERENCE?  Jack  Close, 
Amherst's  offensive  sparkplug, 
figures  in  a  defensive  play  as  he 
blocks  a  Rorke  aerial  to  Bob  Judd 
on  the  goal  line. 

Football .  . . 

The  first  half  lacked  some  of 
the  drama  but  none  of  the  ex- 
citement of  the  second  half,  as 
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 
Stegeman  and  Jim  Richardson 
xept  Amherst  scoreless.  With  Close 
carrying  7  out  of  10  plays,  Am- 
herst put  the  ball  on  the  one  yard 
line,  third  down  and  goal  to  go, 
but    two   cracks   at    the   stubborn

Eph   defensive  netted  no   yardage 
and  Williams  look  over. 

Smith    Slips 

In  the  second  period  Amlierst's 
only  drive  was  halted  after  they 
had  picked  up  thvee  first  downs, 
when  Stegeman  intercepted  an 
aerial  isee  picture  pp.  1)  from 
Bob  Leach  on  the  Williams  26 
yard  line.  Unable  to  move  through 
the  line,  Williams  took  to  the  air 
and  almost  bi'oke  the  scoring  ice 
as  Rorke  tossed  over  the  heads  of 
the  Amherst  defenders  to  Sandy 
Smith.  Smith  was  all  by  himself  as 
he  hauled  in  the  pa.ss,  but  slipped 
on  the  wet  turf  to  deprive  Wil- 
liams of  a  probable  score.  The 
Ephs  retained  possession  of  the 
ball  for  twelve  plays,  but  got  no 
farther  than  the  Amherst  37, 
where  Rorke  threw  incomplete  to 
Bob  Judd  I  picture)  on  fourth 
down.  Amherst  regained  possess- 
ion and  picked  up  one  first  down 


on  two  five  yard  slants  by  Close 
before  the  Eph  defense  stiffened 
and  Shields  was  forced  to  punt 
to  end  the  half. 

Williams  Scores  First 
Williams  started  the  second  half 
with  its  mind  set  on  scoring  a 
touchdown  and  wasted  little  time 
in  doing  .iust  that.  Ide  received 
the  kickoff  and  was  tackled  on  his 
own  29.  From  there  Stegeman 
started  the  offensive  push  that 
terminated  in  Ide's  score  from  15 
yards  out.  On  six  carries  in  the 
■series  Stegeman  chewed  up  48 
yards  crashing  off  the  tackle  slots 
with  Tom  Heekin  and  Bob  Lowden 
clearing  the  way.  The  crucial  play 
of  the  march  came  with  fourth 
down  and  two  yards  to  go  on  the 
Amherst  40.  Gambling  for  the 
first  down.  Gary  Higgins  called 
on  Danny  Rorke  who  responded 
with   a  more  than   ample  5   yard

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.

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.

Athlete,  Oil  Painter,  W  I  Hero 
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-

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

Social  Council  Plans 
Fraternity  Skit  Night 

Undergraduates  who  can't  bring 
themselves  to  study  the  Tuesday 
night  before  Thanksgiving  vaca- 
tion will  be  provided  with  a  unique 
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- 
evitable keg  of  beer. 

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. 
Martin  of  the  drama  department. 

Cotton  Flte  '60,  chairman  of  the 
planning  committee,  indicated  that 
"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. 

Elis   Bewildered 

The  facts  concerning  last  year's 
shot-gun  and  cherry-bomb  inci- 
dents as  well  as  his  stand  on  se- 
lectivity have  filtered  down  to  New 
Haven  and  have  been  grossly  dis- 
torted.  As  a   result,   the   students

Shainman  Leads 
Berkshire  Group 

The  Berkshire  Community  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  will  open  its  14th 
season  in  a  concert  at  Chapin  Hall 
Monday  night  at  8:30.  Associate 
professor  of  music  Irwin  Shainman 
will  conduct  the  group,  and  Wil- 
liam Masselos,  a  distinguished 
young  American  pianist,  will  be 
the  guest  artist. 

Masselos,  who  will  perform  the 
Saint  Saens  "G  minor  Piano  Con- 
certo", has  distinguished  himself 
through  extensive  international 
touring,  and  by  recording  regular- 
ly for  Columbia  and  MGM  records. 

Shainman  Directs 

Associate  professor  Shainman  is 
returning  this  year  to  direct  the 
symphony  after  a  one-year  leave 
of  absence.  He  has  chosen  as  the 
second  featured  work  of  the  even- 
ing Beethoven's  "Symphony  No. 
4."  The  Fourth  Symphony,  one  of 
the  less  frequently  performed  of 
Beethoven's  works,  is  noted  for  its 
gay  loveliness,  but  also  for  its 
depth  of  emotion. 

The  concert  will  open  with  the 
light,  bright  Overture  to  the  opera, 
"Tlie  Secret  of  Suzanne,"  by  the 
Italian  composer  Ermano  Wolf- 
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.

Editor's  Note:  This  is  the  second  in  a  scries  of 
articles  ha.sed  on  intervieu-s  irilh  foreign  students 
(It  \Villi(nns.  The  series  is  desi'^ned  to  show  how 
the  politicdl  life  of  foreign  eoiinlries  compares 
with  that  of  the  I'liiled  Stales. 

WARNER  KIM  -  Korea:  Wliilc  the  pc-a.saiit

The  1957  ek'ctions  in  which  the  le<rendar\- 
Svni;inaii  Hliee  failed  to  recei\e  the  iiecessar\' 
two-thirds  \()te  which  wonld  ha\c  made  him

intellineiisia  lia\'e  ujrown  to  political  inatnrit\- 
and  a  small  hut  |)owerfid  i^rou])  in  Korea. 

Newsjiapers  and  radio  come  ont  more  clearK' 
with  issnes  and  editorials  than  in  this  countr\'. 
either  hacking  candidates  or  opposiiit;  them.  .\nd 
so  it  is  with  the  jiarties  them.sehi's.  The  last  elec- 
tion also  showed  how  Korean  |iolitics  has  e\'ol\ed 
into  strictly  party  polities  with  the  yoters  show- 
iiif^  a  greater  tcndenc\'  to  alis^n  theiiiseKes  one 
way  or  the  other  than  here. 

A  Wider  Cap 

The  fact  that  there  is  a  much  wider  differ- 
ence hetvveen  the  parti(>s  is  iin]«)itant  to  note 
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. 

'Swiss  Inlcrestcd 

CUIIX)  SCllll.l.lNC;;  The  class  strnetiire 
in  Switzerland  does  not  interhMc  with  our  uri'at 
desire  to  know  tiic  news  and  polities  In  partic- 
idar.  The  iipperclasses,  farmers,  and  workers  a- 
like  become  intensely  iiiv oKed  in  not  only  tryiut^ 
to  nnderstaiid  the  issues,  but  also  in  i)racticini; 
actively  in  politics,  Usually  the  vonth  ol  Swit- 
zerland until  the  ai^c  of  20  show  no  .special  in- 
terest, but  after  that  "VVahausinn"  can  he  n.sed 
to  exiiress  their  eagerness  vyhieh  pediaps  re- 
ceives its  first  impetus  from  the  compnlsorv 
military   trainin;^. 

Political  interest  has  been  intrinsically  mixed 
with  Switzerland's  neutralitv  and  <feou;raphical 
position  on  tlie  map  of  Eni'0|K-.  Hecanse  we  are 
in  the  center  and  have  wanted  to  reinain  neutral 
we  have  had  to  keep  abreast  of  the  news  which 
is  receiyccl  by  wireless  and  such  newspapers  as 
"Die  Weltwoche"  and  ■Die  Tat".  Our  cultiv  atioii 
of  the  news,  neutrality,  and  our  location  are  the 
nuiin  reasons  why  Svyitzerland  hei'ame  such  a 
haven  foi-  Hungarian  rcfn;j;ees  and  especially 
students. 


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- 
posed of  the  fraternities  and  the  freshman  class,  why  not  mM: 
these  divisions  the  divisions  lor  representation?  In  a  house,  foi  n,.

would  know  and  amoui;  whom  there  wonld  be  constant  and  c..  v 
access. 

The  C;.C.  has  before  it  the  bnnaboo  of  a  Kovernnient  win.  I,

REPRESENTATION 

10  t,K'  RECORD: 

Tlic  present  controveisy  over  a  proposed 
chanu;e  ol  effective  representation"  hi  student 
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 


If  you're  out  on  a  limbnboui

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- 
liams closed  out  its  .season  as  Lit- 
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 
Kichardson,  has  been  chosen 
on  the  AP  All -East  team  of  the 
week.  Terry  Farina.  Amherst 
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

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. 

Freshman  Council 

Also  on  the  agenda  of  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Frosh  Council  were

is  given  a  "predisposition  to  fail- 
ure" by  the  fact  that  he  never  has 
an  equal  chance  beside  the  white

In  the  absence  of  judges  the 
moderator,  Tom  White  '60,  took  a 
vote  of  the  audience  to  determine 
the  winning  ,side  and  the  victory 
was  awarded  to  the  negative.

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.

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.

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.

Mt.  Hope 


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. 
Don't  just  stand  there  making  cryjrtic  gestures  at  your  tol';ic- 
oonist.  He  may  be  armed.  ©  '"ss  m,.  Hhuiii.«o

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-

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. 


Lower   'Weights 

In  the  123  pound  class,  junior 
Wally  Matt  will  have  competition 
fiom  sophomore  Dean  Howard  and 
possibly  sophomore  Dave  White, 
Stew  Smith,  runner-up  in  the  New 
Englands  at  130  pounds  last  year, 
should  have  no  trouble  maintain- 
ing his  starting  position,  but  he 
will  have  competition  from  sopho- 
more Hank  Riefle. 

Captain  Kuhrt  Wieneke,  unde- 
feated in  dual  meet  competition 
last  year,  will  be  at  137.  Backing 
him  up  will  be  junior  Harry  Love 
and  sophomore  Bob  Kaplan,  The 
147  slot,  left  open  by  the  gradua- 
tion of  last  year's  captain  Jim 
Hutchinson,  will  be  filled  by  Skip

man competition  last  year,  senior 
Harry  Bowdoin,  Sophomore  Bill 
Penny  or  Cliff  Granger, 

Higher   Weights 

Junior  Steve  Lewis,  runner  up 
in  the  New  Englands  last  year, 
should  be  able  to  keep  his  start- 
ing position  at  157,  in  spite  of 
competition  from  senior  Dick  Con- 
tant.  At  167,  juniors  Denny  Mit- 
chell and  Denny  Puller  will  have 
very  stiff  competition  from  sopho- 
more Jack  Staples,  runner-up  in 
the  freshman  division  of  the  New 
Englands  last  year. 

Seniors  Dave  Moore  and  Ted 
Sage  and  sophomores  Fred  Nol- 
and  and  Art  Waltman  will  fight 
for  the  starting  position  at  177.  In 
the  heavyweight  class.  New  Eng-

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

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

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 
ja'?  Oui,  c'est  magnifique!  ii  ceii

one    pledge    put    il   bluntly,    were 
lalcing  gas." 


Some  felt  the  activities  were 
nood  for  laughs;  others  felt  them 
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.

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.

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

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

oll'hand,  "What   is  your  kind  of  beer,  anyway?  I  want 
to  order  some."  I  knew  he  was  really  asking  about  Inr

fashionalile  in  the  sleek  and  narrow  world  he  tried  so 
hard  to  call  bis  own.  "Schaefer,"  1  said.  "Kxpei'ts  call  it

Returning  at  center  is  Jeff  .Morton,  hi^h  scorer  for  the  I'lphs  last

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.

Another  bright  season  should  be 
in  store  for  the  Williams  swim- 
ming team  which  opens  its  season 
tnis  atoernoon  at  Union.  The  Ephs, 
WHO  Lied  for  me  New  England  title 
lasL  year,  lost  only  three  starters 
irom  tnai  .squad  and  have  been 
lortaied  by  .several  outstanding 
sophomores. 

Ide  Leads   Squad 

'Ihe  Epns  will  be  led  by  Captain 
Chip  Idc,  a  top  sprinter  who  an- 
nexed the  New  England  Intercol- 
legiaie  title  last  year.  In  the  220 
and  440  yard  freestyle,  Williams' 
Key  representatives  will  be  Don 
Lum  and  Terry  Allen.  The  team 
Will  be  repre.sented  in  the  back- 
stroke by  Henry  Tatem,  one  of 
tne  top  men  in  New  England. 
Soph  Neil  Devaney,  holder  of  the 
college  freshman  record,  is  tne  top 
Eph  entry  in  the  butterfly. 

Robinson    in    Key    Race 

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.

He  also  mentioned  that  the  liouses

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.

in  C  minor  Op.  32,  No.  4;  in  E-flat  major.  Op.  74,  and  in  A  miiior  On

of  three  periods  in  the  composer's  life.  With  problems  of  coordn.ulion, 
intonation  and  tone  reduced  to  a  bare  minimum  the  members  (jf  the 
Quartet  demonstrated  their  fine  ability.  The  concert  was  reviiwi'd  in

breakdown  coupled  with  the  bad 
weather  in  Williamstown  recently 
has  caused  considerable  delay  in

the  Buildings  and  Grounds  De-

Trustees'  Committee  and  the

Another  problem  that  arises  is 
whether  the  sandblasted  areas 
will  have  to  be  newly  waterproof-

will  run  close  to  $2000. 

The  workmen  have  only  cleaned

Griffith.s  first  observed  that  both 
Russia  and  the  U.  S.  know  that  in 
the  event  of  attack,  each  can  re- 
taliate immediately.  He  admitted 
that  genetic  effects  were  now  in 
doubt  but  noted  incidents  such  as 
the  Japanese  fi.shermen.  Finally 
he  stated  that  prohibiting  test- 
ing would  ease  tension. 

Phillips  immediately  asked  how 
tension  might  be  les.sened  if  no 
disarmament  occurred.  He  read 
from  an  A.E.C.  report  and  conclu- 
ded that  radiation  exposure  from

"Africa:  The  Last  Frontier" 
Thursday,  December  11  at  8  p.m. 
in  Jesup  Hall.  Scott,  Special  As-

Wesley  an  Referendum 

A  student  referendum  on  a  pro- 
posal advocating  deferred  rushing 
is  being  held  today  at  Wesleyan. 
This  newly -proposed  system,  if  put 
into  effect,  would  mean  a  change 
from  Wesleyan's  present  fresh- 
man rushing  procedures. 

Each  student  voting  affirmative- 
ly will  also  decide  between  three 
plans  by  which  the  new  .system 
may  be  put  Into  effect.  The  SC 
plans  concern  eating  facilities  for 
the  freshmen  and  the  new  finan- 
cial burden  which  will  be  placed 
on  the  fraternities  by  their  lack 
of  this  freshman  source  of  house

tual Johnny  Appleseed,  gathering 
.seeds  of  di.scussion  and  under- 
standing in  one  place,  planting 
them  in  another." 

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".

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-

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  Outstanding 

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. 

After    getting    bogged   down   in 
"rules"      of      debating,      Contant 
claimed  that  the  affirmative  had 
exaggerated  the  dangc:r    -' 
He  mentioned  it  was  too  .

In  the  rebuttals,  Phillips  stressed 
"If  is  only  a  piece  of  paper  they 
are  proposing"  and  noted  that  23 
of  Truman's  23  agreements  with 
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 
:5ntiment  vote  which  the  Britons 
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.

By  now  Williamstown  is  wc 
winter. 

It  has  its  fjood  side:  the  piiik-jj;ray  after- 
noon skies  caused  by  the  low  anj^le  of  the  sun 
.  .  .  the  sjiarkles  in  just-fallen  snow  under  a 
streetlamp  .  .  .  the  bleak  maj^nifieeiiee  of  hills. 

It  has  its  bad  side:  the  ice-coated  sidewalks

in  Clark's  on  Spring  Street  .  .  .  thi'  ears  which 
don't  start  .  .  .  the  agony  of  the  long  trip  across 
the  room  to  turn  on  the  radiator  in  the  morning 
.  .  .   the  rain  on  top  of  snow. 


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.

Basketball  Opens 
Against  Harvard 

Williams  varsity  basketball  opens 
against  Harvard  Wednesday  in 
Cambridge.  The  crimson  will  have 
two  games  behind  them  including 
a  loss  to  Amherst  Saturday,  51- 
47.  The  game  was  marred  by  slop- 
py play  and  poor  shooting. 

Harvard  will  have  a  slight  edge 
in  height  with  6'  8"  Tom  McClel- 
lan  opposing  Jeff  Morton  at  cen- 
ter. High  scoring  Bill  Donohue  will 
start  off  as  guard.  Donohue  is  a 
junior  and  the  most  outstanding 
of  the  Crimson's  veterans. 
Wilimott  -  Eph  Spark 

The  Williams  starting  line-up 
vvill  include  sophomore  Sam  Wea- 
ver, at  forward.  Junior  George 
Boynton  at  guard  and  senior  high 
scorer  Jeff  Morton  at  center. 

Captain  Pete  Wilimott  will  play 
from  the  guard  position.  Wilimott 
is  Williams'  invaluable  center 
guard  and  was  the  key  to  the  Wil-

goalie  Dick  Alford.  Three  minutes 
later,  however,  the  puck  got  loose 
around  the  Harvard  net,  and  right 
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 
Crimson    In    Opener 

Coach  Bobby  Coombs  sends  his 
Freshman  cagers  against  Harvard 
Wednesday  at  Cambridge  to  open 
an  eleven  game  schedule.  Harvard 
will  enter  the  game  with  a  slight 
edge  in  height  but  with  a  loss  to 
the  Amherst  Frosh  last  Saturday, 
71-56. 

Williams  rebounding  hopes  lie 
with  Kirby  Allen,  the  Ephs  6'  7" 
center.  Backing  him  up  in  the  for- 
ward slots  will  be  Mike  Canon, 
6'  3"  and  Bob  Mahland  6'  1". 

Starting  at  the  guards  Williams 
will  have  Dave  Ritchie  and  Brooke 
Johnston. 

Coach  Coombs  is  optimistic  a- 
bout  the  team's  chances  and  calls 
it  an  even  chance  with  a  few 
breaks.  The  Frosh  encounter  will 
precede  the  Varsity  game.

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 
New  York. 

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- 
land.' "  The  reference  is  to  the 
original  production  of  Shaw's  play 
in  the  Court  Theatre,  London,  in 


Basketball . . 

still  question  marks  on  the  Eph 
team  are  sophomore  Bob  Mont- 
gomery, and  seniors  Bob  Parker 
and  Phil  Brown. 

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.

By    Richard    F.    Willhite 

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.

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.

With  a  primarily  educational  or-

Amherst,  Frank  Ried  '60,  of  Wes-  -  that    fraternities    there    are    "an

While  an  Amherst  education  is '  also   criticized  the   nature   of   the 
I  Wesleyan  education,  saying  "Aca- 
demic life  seems  to  be  lived  from 
test  to  test,  from  paper  to  paper. 
We  lose  the  perspective  of  study- 
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." 


Union  for  dinner.  On  one  such 
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.

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 
too  inanx'  seniors  that  their  major  classes  wt'ie

ol  people  tiA'  to  take  part  in  a  course  that  is  nui 
on  ;i  seminar  basis,  the  course  either  becomes  a 
lc(.'(ure  or  chaos.  This  si'cms  to  he  the  case  in 
oiiK  a  lew  snhjects;  but  it  in\'ol\'es  a  lot  ot  peo- 
ple. II  we  are  .Hoiii,^  to  i^et  tlu'  merit  ol  a  seminar 
with  a  capable  instructor,  the  class  has  to  be 
small.  It  would  seem  to  \nv  a  reasonable  pro-

(if  we  included  courses  in  the  I'jiirlish  depart-

not  only  make  use  of  theatre  facilities,  and  fill 
up  a  hole  in  the  cnrricnium,  but  it  would,  I  h'cl,

During  the   past   year,  (;olle).;e  {-'ouiicil   financial  Icfrisl.ii 
tmd   certain  actions  by   the  collej.;e  atlmiiiistration   has   taken

\arious  oru;aiii/atioiis  on  campus  and   |)laced   it   in   the   ham! 
central  authorities.  The   student   acti\ities   tax,   the   V,h\   ta\

There  are  certainly  certain  aiKantai^i's  in  this  system  ol  .

Hilt    underneath   this   ;ipparentl\'   ad\antaf;eous   svsteni   1'

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."

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-

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-

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.

It  does.  Fine  rooms,  and  spacious.  And  not  a  speck

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. 


Steady  Increase  Noted  In  Advanced 
Standing  Applicants  Since  1953 

indicative  of  a  de\elopin^  trend  in  colIei2;e  education,  fifty- 
fi\e  nieml)ors  of  the  Class  of  '62  ]Dartieipated  in  the  Advanced 
Placement    program    administered    by    the    Educational    Testin;; 

Service.  Most  of  them  were  allow- 

ed    to    eliminate    an    elementary    w^    f  j 

course  in  one  or  more  subjects.       IVClCrCIluUIll    •    •    •

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 
Composition,  a  subject  not  rec 
ognized  by  the  College.  Thirty- 
three  secondary  schools  are  rep- 
resented by  the  fifty-five  students

Society.  He  had  previously  been 
chosen  president  of  his  class.  He 
was  required  to  resign  as  class  pre- 
sident. In  order  to  avoid  such  con- 
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.

the  snow  sculpture  contest  from 
the  seven  sketches  that  were  en- 
tered. 

Each  team  will  now  submit  a 
clay-scale  model  of  their  statue. 
The  winner  will  be  picked  Satur-

and  Lee  Hirsche  of  the  Art  De- 
partment and  William  C.  Grant, 
Jr.  of  the  Biology  Department. 
Five  dollars  was  awarded  to  both

Snack  Bar  Features  Good  Food

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

JOHN  RENSENBRINK 

"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  beams  and  some  of  the  sid-

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, 
Mrs.  Vivian  McLain,  Mrs.  Helen 
Lambert,  and  Mrs.  Thelma  Mar- 
tin work  on  the  day  .shift  under 
the  direction  of  Mrs.  Sanders.  The 
evening  shift  is  headed  by  Mrs. 
Exilda  Siciliano,  incorrectly  known 
as  "Zelda."  Assisting  her  are  Mrs. 
Dorothy  Ledger,  Mrs.  Vivian  Le- 
Sage,  and  Mrs.  Ronnie  Beaudreau. 
Personal  Comments 
Tlie  girls  are  noted  for  their

"The  fellows  bring  out  our  friend-

too,  we're  all  married  and  have 
children  of  our  own."  Explaining 
her  patience,  Mrs.  McLain  noted, 
"I'm  a  fisherlady.  You  know  you 
have  to  have  a  lot  of  patience  to 
sit  by  the  hour  and  fish." 
Love  of  Work 
"Dot"  Ledger  expressed  what 
seemed  to  be  the  sentiment  of  all 
the  girls;  "It's  the  boys  who  make 
the  job  interesting."  "Zelda"  not-

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.

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 
"Requiem".  Singing  with  expres- 
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. 

Harvard-Radcliffe 

The  Harvard-Radcliffe  Orches- 
tra directed  by  Attilio  Poto,  per- 
formed Corelli's  "Concerto  Op.  6, 
No.  8"  and  Haydn's  "Symphony 
No.  104",  in  D  Major  during  the 
first  half  of  the  program.  The  Cor- 
elli  number  was  written  for  strings 
oniy.  Adding  a  pungent  flavor  co 
the  work  was  Ridgeway  Banks' 
('i)8)  harpsichord.  Poto,  a  dashing 
conductor,  evidenced  complete 
control  over  his  large  orchestra. 
His  concertmaster  exhibited  pro- 


Wesleyan  Rejects 
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.

Perhaps  only  the  slow  movements 
were  not  up  to  par. 

Brass  Added 

The  brass  and  wind  sections 
were  added  in  Haydn's  "Symphony 
No.  104."  They  effected  an  excit- 
ing brightness  which  characteriz- 
ca  the  movement  in  its  entirety. 
iue  first  movement  opened  with 
a  powerful  attack.  There  then  en- 
sued a  contrast,  soft  and  slow,

ciety  into  two  hostile,  totally  al- 
ienated groups." 


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."

ed,  "Hear  no  evil,  see  no  evil, 
speak  no  evil;  that's  our  motto  be-

the  boys  are  the  funniest  when 
they're  talking  about  their  blind 
dates.  "They  come  up  looking  de- 
jected and  say,  'I've  got  a  beast  of 
a  blind  date — watch,  I'm  going  to 
ditch  her.'  " 

Working  at  the  snack  bar  can

thougli  I  know  it  is  considered  chic  these  days  to  disparage  (jrien

makers  of  Philip  Morris.  I  shall  cry  "lluzzah!"  and  "Vival" 
and  "016!"  and  "Ochichoonya  I" 

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. 


.MPfi^^-^M4!l!s^^0in- 


Economics  waa  discovered  by  the  Englishinan,  Adam  Smith. 
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 
was  in  the  fire!  Before  you  could  say  "knife"  the  Industrial 
Revolution  was  on!  Mech.anizntion  and  steam  power  resulted 
m  prodigies  of  production.  For  exiunple,  before  the  Industrial 
Revolution,  a  Welsh  artis.an,  named  Dylan  Sigafoos,  used  to 
m^e  horse- shoes  by  hand  at  the  rate  of  four  a  day.  After  the 
Industrial  Kevolution,  with  the  aid  of  a  steam  engine,  Sigafoos 
was  able  to  make  entire  horses  I 

And  so  it  went-factories  rising  from  the  plains,  cities  biir- 
Beoning  around  the  factories,  transport  and  commerce  keeping 
pace- -until  tflday,  thanks  to  econoiiiics,  we  have  smog,  reces-

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

used portion  of  the  Constitution 
which  calls  for  bi-weekly  public 
hearings  on  bu.sine.ss  before  the

all  non-constitutional  referendums 
wh  le  raising  the  petition  require-

that  opponents  of  a  referendum 
may  urge  abstention  as  a  weapon 
to  defeat  a  measure  while  making 
it  harder  to  initiate  a  referendum. 

No.  4  -  Top  Brass 

Passed  497-132  to  provide  re-

Phi  defeated  Beta  Theta  Pi  in  a 
clo.se  debate  judged  by  Mr.  Forbes 
Hill  of  the  Public  Speaking  de- 
partment. On  the  affirmative  for 
A.  D.  were  Toby  Smith  and  Hal 
Smith.  Speaking  for  Beta  were 
Warner  Kim  and  Vick  Van  Valin. 

This  week  Phi  Sig  was  host  to 
Psi  U  but  lost  to  the  negative  Psi 
U's.  The  judge  was  Professor  Ren- 
senbrink.  Debating  for  Psi  U  were 
John  Mayher  and  Peter  Bradley. 
Andrew  Moorehead  and  Roy  Co- 
hen did  the  honors  for  the  Phi

Christmas  Nears 
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- 
tive souls  paid  their  bills  in  full

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-

Everybodys  Porridge:  VIII 

CONCERNING  CHRISTMAS 

The  C.ltrist  has  been  taken  out  of  Christmas 
for  most  of  ns,  whether  we  like  it  or  not. 

1  am  not  K"''>J^  t<>  tlwell  on  the  alleged  evils 
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- 
])loitation  of  Christmas  bv  the  businessman, 
Christmas  has  not  become  merelv  an  annual 
boom  in  retail  sales;  hut  it  seems  to  ha\e  almost 
\anished  as  a  relii^ious  event.  It  has  jjrojrressed 
from  the  souls  to  the  hearts  of  jieople.  It  has 
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 
i^aily  talk  with  our  friends,  others  are  afraid  to 
s|K'ak.  it  is  a  world  where  the  fate  of  the  human 
race  hangs  in  a  shaky  balance.  It  is  a  terrible,  a 
feaiiul  world;  it  si-ems  antithetical  to  any  hope. 

^'et  suddenly  and  together,  we  do  hope.  We 
are  spontaneously  happy  and  confident. 

If  we  can  do  diis  at  all,  we  can  keep  doing 
so.  And  our  hope  and  confidence  is  not  idle.  Only 
a  fool  ho]ies  without  purpose. 

Whether  in  |)rayer  or  simjile  resolve,  let  this 
be  our  Christmas  wish.  Whatever  onr  Christ 
may  be,  let  it  be  a  Messiah  of  ho|)e.

Graduate  Schools 

lit/  1.  Kurt  liosen 

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- 
ness  .school  .student  in  gray  flannel  is  e.xtreinely  su|)erficial.  "',,,,1 
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

look  a  close  second,  followed  by 
'  lie  lone  Eph  entry,  Reeve.s,  with 
:i:i.43.  Army  also  swept  the  50,  led

.ptctively.  The  '■Black  KniHhls" 
tayed  in  competition  by  pilinB  up

Exciting   Finish 

The  "Black  KniKlils"  swept  from

Coach  Bob  Muir  called  it  a

the  first  time  the  Ephs  have  met 
the  West  Pointers  in  swimming. 
The  squad  now  holds  a  1-1  record 
and  next  faces  Colgate,  the  only 
contingent  to  down  last  year's 
swimmers,  on  January   10. 


Beats  Trinity,  73-68 

Fighting  off  a  last  minute  rally 
by  Trinity,  the  Williams  varsity 
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- 
ing charge  of  the  floor  play,  Will- 
mott  penetrated  the  Trinity  zone 
defen.se  tor  lay-ups  on  both  sides 
of  the  hoop.  Weaver  did  most  of 
his  damage  oft  the  boards  with 
lap-ins  and  jump  shots.  Weaver 
and  Bob  Montgomery  controlled 
the  rebounds.

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 

Second  period  scoring:  Simin- 
ski 2,  Fisher,  Balaski  2,  Burgert, 
Midghal 

Third  period  scoring:  Siminski, 
Thorns,    Groger,    Midghal    2.

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.

The  College  voted  to  hire  the 
secretaries  after  a  question  arose 
about  possible  breaches  of  .secrecy 
in  the  Rushing  Committee  which 
formerly  handled  the  work.  The 
report  called  this  questioning  the 
"moral"  problem  which,  it  feels, 
has  merely  been  "buried  under  the

A  new  constellation  has  appear-

singing  groups.  It  is  called  the 
"Purple  Herd",  consisting  of  ten 
freshmen,  and  is  at  present  pre- 
paring "to  offer  the  best  enter- 
tainment presented  on  Williams 
Campus  yet!" 

The  new  group,  formed  by  Tom

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.

Business  is  a  little  slow  for  the

holidays  approaching  and  no  en-

Come  the  New  Year,  however,  with 
the  support  of  the  fraternities  and

to  give  Williams  a  worthily  great 
group.

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.

fessor of  Economics,  has  been  a- 
warded  a  National  Research  Pro- 
fessorship by  the  Brookings  In-

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.

Ill  addition,  the  alumni  corporation  received  .$.30,000  to  cover 
I  the  contents  of  the  house.  Person- 
al belongings  valued  at  more  than 
$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 
the  use  by  the  Deke  house  of  the 
vacant  parsonage  behind  the 
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."

tions. Plans  for  the  1959  CC  elec- 
tion were  announced  by  retiring 
president  Jack  Hyland  and  ap- 
proved Monday  night. 

Hyland  stated  that  the  CC  will

didate are  required.  No  person  may

ly this  year  the  encouragement  of 
students  they  feel  to  be  qualified 
for  class  offices.  The  Rules,  Nom- 
inations and  Elections  Committee 
under  Rich  Moe  '59,  and  Bob 
Rorke  '60,  will  attempt  to  get  as 
many  qualified  candidates  on  the 
ballot  as  possible. 

Elections 

The  vote  will  be  taken  by  clas- 
ses in  Baxter  Hall.  The  Class  of

(Ircater  Xew  Voi'k  Alia.s  Squad,  i-CKarded  me  i)el- 
tishly  out  of  the  cornea  of  hi.seye.  "So  you're  Reeh's 
favorite  harmaii,  eh?"  he  queried,  .shooting  his  culfs 
with  a  small  revolver.  "You  know  how  the.se  colum- 
nists exaggerate,"  I  .said  deprecatingly,  and  went  on 
stashing  Schaefer  into  the  refrigerator  behind  the  bar. 

"\\\\y  all  the  Schaefer?"  he  interrogated.  "Mr.  Reeb 
always  treats  the  house,"  I  coinmented.  "He  say^ 
it's  his  kind  of  heer— real  beer."  "Yes,  and  then  he 
tells  how  exi)erts  call  it  rmiml  becau.se  of  its  smootii

sently fondling  a  kipper  from  the  free  lunch.  "Right 
now,  lad,  your  life  isn't  worth  a  plugged  niekel  or, 
for  that  matter,  a  nickeled  plug."  He  protluccd  a 
])hoto  from  a  bulging  card  ca.se.  "I  give  you  Barton 
Reeb,  alias  Edwin  d'Nuor,  alias  Philippe  Refeahcs.' 

"Edwin  Round!  Philippe  Schaefer!"  I  deciphered 
proudly,  my  unique  talent  as-

study  a  Schaefer  sign,  and  in  that  moment  White- 
whi.stle  made  his  arre.st.  "What's  your  name  lad?" 
he  chortled  to  me  as  he  led  Reeb  away.  "Bob  Dood,"

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.

2,'?. ()()()  miles  on  the  road,  decided  lie 
wasn't  fully  usiii;?  hi«  capabilities. 

He  rtwijined  and  contacted  his  college 
Placement  Olliec.  Interviews  with  a 
host  of  firms  followed.  Pete  chose  the 
New  York  Teleiili(ine  Company. 

That  was  April.  I'J.il.  He  spent  the 
next  l.i  months  Irainiiig-pellinp  basic 
ex|HMienee  as  iiislaller.  repairman, 
frameman.  staff  assistant,  ele.  He  was 
then  appointed  Service  Foreman. 

In  January.  1%7.  he  moved  over  to 
the  business  side  of  the  company.  In 
May,  10.57,  he  became  a  supervisor.  In 
January,  1958,  he  managed  a  business 


(ilTiee  serving  25.000  customers,  with  42 
)H'ople  reporting  to  him.

of  the  afternoon  was  won  by  Bruce

of  a  seesaw  battle  between  two

hitting  too  high  over  the  tin  in

was  in  doubt  most  of  the  time. 
Down  eight  at  the  half.  Weaver

Both  elected  to  play  the  conven-

From  the  start,  Tobin's  longer

drawing   ahead.

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 
specii.c  conditions  for  dismissal 
we.'j  .aeni-ioned.  He  rather  stressed 
•■un:ltr-achieving"  and  a  "general 
attitude."  A  temporary  dismissal 
w.ll  involve  warnings  to  the  stu- 
dent, reports  from  all  his  teachers, 
and  a  review  by  the  Committee 
on  Academic  Standing!  of  his  rec- 
ord. 

Of  course,  many  questions  may 
be  raised.  Will  other  than  I.  Q. 
tests  be  utilized?  Will  a  distinc- 
tion be  drawn  between  a   76  and

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

red the  comfort  of  previous  win-

Coming  the  weekend  of  Febru-

comes, informal  cocktail  parties 
and  from  9  to  1,  the  fabulous  Dor-

into  consideration  emotional  prob-

Dean  Robert  Brooks  of  Williams 
commented,  "Although  there  is  a 
gaod  deal  to  be  said  for  a  policy 
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 
■best'  is.  There  are  often  circum- 
stances which  sati.sfactorily  ex- 
plain why  a  student  is  not  doing 
as  well  as  he  might."

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

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."

Saturday   Panels 

On  Saturday  morning  and  af- 
ternoon a  series  of  panels  on  vari- 
ous professions  and  graduate

topics  have  been  selected  by  the 
Student  Committee  on  Career

'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

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

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! 
It  may  sound  trite— but  the  life  you  save  may 
very  well  be  your  own.

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.

By    red   Castle 

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- 
sis.

the  big  contioversy.  Klein  wrote  a 
letter  to  the  RECORD  recom- 
mending a  return  to  the  Under- 
graduate Council  of  fraternity 
presidents  which  had  been  abol- 
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- 
ed the  Jackson  Committee  on  long 
range  evaluation  of  student  gov- 
ernment and  the  Rorke  subcom- 
■.nitlee  of  the  Rules,  Nominations 
and  Elections  Committee  to  rec- 
ommend "ways  to  make  the  Coun- 
cil more  representative." 

Gulielinensian  and  the  CC 
The  RECORD  headlined  "CC  Re- 
organization Controversy  Brews" 
as  the  Klein  Undergraduate 
Council  plan  called  for  "...  a  form 
of  student  government  that  will 
be  more  representative  . .  ."  The 
non-affiliates  completed  a  peti- 
tion for  referendum  on  the  year- 
book question  which  had  passed 
the  Council  5-4  Oct.  31.  A  vote 
was  scheduled  Nov.  10.  On  Nov. 
3.  a  plan  henceforth  known  as  the 
Castle  Compromise  was  presented 
by  F.  C.  Castle,  Jr.  '60.  Subse- 
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.

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 
Schaefer  (W)   over  Hodges,  3-1 
Sherbing  (M)   over  Davis,  3-1

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."

Williams  matched  Colby  shot  for

give  them  the  final  edge.  Colby 
held  a  29-27  advantage  from  the

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 
them  from  the  foul  line. 

Sophomore  Bob  Montgomery  fi-

Williams  notched  Us  sixth  v.  n

With  center  Jeff  Morton's  17  ,si-  -

ball  handling  of  Captain  Pi 
Willmott,  Williams  vas  never  si

made  their  mark. 

Although  Bowdoin  out.scoird 
Williams  in  the  second  half  40-:)9 
most  of  their  points  came  in  the 
last  three  minutes  against  the 
Williams  substitutes.  Captain  Dick 
Willey,  5'  7"  guard,  pumped  in 
18  points  for  the  visitors.  Morton, 
finding  his  mark  from  the  foul

THE  WtlA  lAMS    RECORD.  WEDNESDAY,  JANUARY  14,  1959 


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. 
Summary: 

First  Period:  scoring;  Hawkins 
(Lowden)  7:02,  Maclnnis  15:08.

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 
vote  in  favor  of 
opposed  13). 


that  he  cast  his

Fr.  Hockey  Wins 
In  Vermont  Rout 

Bill  Beadie.  with  a  three  goal 
hat  trick',  led  tlie  Freshman 
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, 
and  Kent.

Mack  Hassler  led  off  for  Wil- 
liams, finishing  a  clcse  third.  The 
next  man,  Tony  Harwood.  gained 
the  lead,  which  Bill  Moomaw  held 
for  anchorman  George  Sudduth, 
who  breasted  the  tape  first. 
Slow  Track 

The  relay  team's  winning  time 
of  3:39.2  is  slower  than  their 
best  time  of  last  year,  which  was 
3:26.  However,  the  Boston  YMCA 
track  is  smaller  than  the  Madison 
Square  Garden  track  where  the 
3:26  mark  was  set,  increasing  the 
number  of  turns  made  in  the  race. 

The  Freshman  relay  team,  con- 
sisting of  Dick  Counts,  John  Kroh, 
Bob  Lee  and  Dave  Kieffer.  came 
in  seventh  in  the  same  open  race 
that  the  varsity  won.  Competing 
in  the  1000  yard  run  was  John  Al- 
len. 

Coach  Tony  Plansky's  indoor 
harriers  will  face  their  next  for- 
mal competition  at  the  Milrose 
Games  at  Madison  Square  Garden 
on  January  31. 

Chip  Ide  Participates 
In  All-American  Bowl 

The  major  All-Americans  de- 
feated the  little  All-Americans  14- 
12  in  the  First  Annual  Optimist 
All-American  Bowl  held  in  Tucson, 
Arizona  on  January  3. 

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.)

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

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.

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?

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.

and  no  man's  iiaiid  is  raised  afiaiiist  you. 

J''ach  ni^lit  after  dinner  Walter  and  Casiniir  and  l.idioy  went 
to  tlieir  room  ami  studied  l''.nji:lish  lit.   Lor  three  hours  tliey  sat" 
in  somlire  silence  anil  pored  over  their  li|.joks  and  then,  s(|uinty 
and  spent,  tliey  toppled  onto  llieir  pallets  ami  .sohlied  tlieiii- 
selves  to  sleep. 

Tliis  joyless  situ.'ilion  olilaineil  iill  throiitili  Se|)tenilier  and 
Octolier.  TIkmi  one  Noveinlier  nijilit  lliey  were  all  sinniltane- 
ously  struck  liy  ji  marvelous  idea.  "We  are  all  studying  the  same 
tiling.  "  tliey  cried.  "Why,  then,  should  each  of  us  study  for 
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 
Oanglia  Bran  and  live  in  the  Canal  Zone,  where  Uiere  are  many

Interviews    Head 
Friday  Program 


The  fifth  annual  Career  Week- 
end will  officially  begin  in  the 
Rath.skellar  tonight  at  7:45  in  the 
form  of  a  Career  Forum. 

Graduate  Committee  chairman 
Joseph  D.  Stockton  '29  will  begin 
the  proceedings  with  a  brief  in- 
troductory message.  He  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  President  Baxter,  who 
will  deliver  a  word  of  welcome. 

The  featured  events  will  be  three 
mock  job  interviews,  in  which  se- 
niors Bill  Edgar,  Garry  Higgins 
and  Rich  Kagan  will  be  interview- 
ed by  three  representatives  from 
the  business  world.  Conducting  the 
interviews  will  be  Dudley  Dar- 
ling, of  Time,  Inc.,  Robert  J.  Can- 
ning, of  General  Electric,  and 
Gwynne  A.  Prosser.  of  Young  & 
Rubicam.  Inc.  The  object  of  the 
interviews  is  to  give  the  members 
of  the  audience  an  idea  of  what  to 
do  and  what  not  to  do  in  a  job  In- 
terview. 

Clark  Discussion 

Following  the  mock  sessions, 
William  Van  Allen  Clark  '41,  pres- 
ident of  the  Sippican  Corporation, 
will  lead  an  informal  discussion 
related  to  the  interviews.  Among 
the  points  Mr.  Clark  wishes  to  em- 
phasize are  "Why  a  firm  wastes 
money  sending  men  traveling  a- 
round  making  interviews,  why  a 
student  takes  this  interview,  and 
v/hat  the  student  can  expect  to  ac- 
complish." 

Darling  graduated  from  Rollins 
in  1941,  went  to  Time.  Inc.  imme- 
diately, served  with  the  Army  in

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.

Ephs  Put  On  Ice 
By  Hamilton  Six 

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.

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

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

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.

day  or  so  saying  they  are  terribly 
sorry  but  they  have  remembered  a

noses  to  make  sure.  If  he  canvassed  women,  he'd  be  a  gakulator.  If  he 
totted  up  crimes  of  violence,  he'd  be  a  stabulator.  Actually,  he  checks  on 
the  popularity  of  Luckies,  and  that  makes  him  a  lauditor!  His  latest  survey 
makes  this  heartwarming  point:  Students  who  want  the  honest  taste  of 
fine  tobacco  are  unanimously  for  Lucky  Strike!
