WLYX EngineeringSet For'Operation

Varied Fields Open ForInterested Students

WLYX, Southwestern's studentradio station, is ready to beginbroadcasting. Personnel and en-gineering problems prevented reg-ular operation of the station lastyear.

The technical difficulties havebeen resolved, and the station cango on the air immediately.

No managerial or programingstaffs have been organized. Untilthese departments begin to func-tion, WLYX will not announce anydefinite broadcasting schedule.

Prospective station managers,program managers, program di-rectors, announcers, writers, andengineers should contact Fred C.Pritchard to plan an organizationalmeeting. Pritchard was chief en-gineer of WLYX durinng the1950-51 school year.

The radio station was startedlate in 1950 as a laboratory ex-tension of the speech and physicsdepartments. The facilities ofWLYX can provide students in-terested in radio valuable on-the-job training without necessitatingan enlargement of the academicprogram. As a news agency andsource of on-the-campus entertain-ment the station should find en-thusiastic approval among the ad-ministration and the students.With the present carrier-cur-

rent transmitting equipment oper-ating according to the regulationsof the Federal CommunicationsCommission, programs originatingat WLYX may be received in near-ly all campus buildings except thegirls' domitories. Methods of ex-tending the radio service to Ever-green and Voorhies are being plan-ned.

General information lectures,record shows, plays, and musicalprograms will be regular featuresif WLYX broadcasts this year.

New French Student Has Enthusiastic ViewOn First Impressions Of U.S., Southwestern- - - - -- - -

By Rene Lemarchand

I landed at New York only twoweeks ago and already I just feellike I have been here for years:

This probably comes from the won-derful friendliness and hospitalitythat you have extended to me since

my arrival at Southwestern and

which are particularly evident

among the Southern people. So, Ifirst want to express here my

mirth and satisfaction of beingconsidered as an inhabitant of

Memphis and a member of South-

western College at the same time.

I just set foot on the campusa week ago and I ,must say that

so far I have not ceased to be

amazed by the excellent organiza-

tion of this college and the friend-liness and abnegation of the peo-ple who make its reputation.

The campus itself is one element

among many others of Southwest-

our leisure time.Another thing which struck me

when I first caught sight of thecollege is the architecture of thebuildings. I was expecting to findin such a booming city as Mem-phis modern skyrocketing build-ings. I must confess that I like itbetter the way it is, actually, forI think these ancient, Gothic-styledhouses give the campus a sort ofEuropean atmosphere.

Another thing which impressedme more than I could say is theneat appearance of most of thehouses and buildings of Memphis.Its cleanliness makes a world ofdifference compared to what I ex-perienced in New York. I do notwant to raise a row between NewYorkers and Southerners but sim-ply wish to point out that exceptfor some central areas, New Yorkstreets definitely give the new-comer a bad impression. They are

ern charm. In this respect, your spotted with garbage, all sorts ofcolleges and universities are quite food leftovers, and wrapping pa-different from ours, where we just pers. This, of course, is just onehave a small handkerchief-sized bad side of the so-called "capitalyard to poke around in during of the world" and one can never

stress enough the magnificentsights provided for the tourist.

One of the most beautiful viewsthat I have seen since I came hereare the clusters of small, tropical,light-built bungalows spreading allover the outskirts of the city.

I also greatly appreciated thecomfort and commodities grantedto the students, and especially thelook of the class rooms, library,social rooms and dining room.

Although the French food doesnot taste exactly like the Ameri-can, I found out that once you areaccustomed to it, it does not tastestrange any longer. You can enjoyhamburgers or pineapple-sprinkledham as well as a "coq au vin" or a"steak pomme frites."

From the schedule I have seenI can already say that Americanstudents are quite privileged com-pared to the French, who have toattend about twice as many hours.While the time table of an averageAmerican college student com-prises about seventeen hours aweek of class attendance, a French

The resignation of PresidentAnn Morrow has been ainounced

by the Women's Panhellenic Coun-cil. Barbara Curtis will assume theposition of Council president andSarah Cheshire is the new presi-dent of Zeta.

Miss Morrow will be marriedthis fall and does not wish to con-tinue her duties as president ofZeta Tau Alpha and the Pan-hellenic Council.

Barbara, a sophomore, is Zeta'srepresentative to the Pan counciland automatically president by therotation system. During her fresh-man year, she was very active inher sorority's projects, even thoughshe worked part-time as a typist.

During the summer she served onthe rush committee and helped planand give Zeta's summer rush par-ty. She holds at present two schol-arships at Southwestern, one acollege grant-in-aid, th, other aGooch-Foundation loan. In highschool Barbara made all honorrolls and was a member of theNational Honor Society, the FirstAid Corps, and the YWCA.

Sarah is a junior this year. Shewas named best pledge by Zetaduring her freshman year and hasserved as house chairman and sec-retary of the sorority. She is amember of the IRC, YWCA, and.STAB intersorority. She has serv-ed on sorority committees and par-ticipated in campus social actiir-ities.

Scholarships As FittingThe Sou'wester joins other campus commen-

tators in praising the new policy of givingacademic scholarships to outstanding athleteswho meet the requirements for such aid. Thislong awaited action demonstrates a new recog-nition of the importance of a well-rounded, trulyliberal education.

Top-notch athletes on their high school teams,the boys have high grade averages and, alongwith many other high school graduates, havequalified for the regular scholarships given bythe college each year. In preferring people withexceptional abilities in other than academicfields, the scholarship committee reenforcesSouthwestern's ideal of full development with-out over-emphasizing one aspect at the expenseof another.

This new policy will stimulate interest in boththe varsity and the intramural sports programs.Also a more liberal sense of cooperation amongthe departments of the college should res~ltfrom this new attitude.

These scholarships prove again that South-western's ideals are not static and bound im-movably by tradition, but are expanding con-cepts, and capable of adaption to the demandsof a vital and changing world.

-----Attention Point SystemSouthwestern is accustomed to using a point

system to equalize more nearly the distributionof offices among members of the student body.The system wras designed to afford many stu-dents administrative opportunities and to pro-tect capable students from overloading them-selves with work. Enforcing the rules of thepoint system is the duty of the elections com-mission.

There are open violations of the system whichhave been called to the attention of the mem-bers of the elections commission. Action mustbe taken immediately in order that positionswhich may have to be vacated can be refilledearly in the school year. It is only fair to replac-ing officers that they be allowed an early startin their duties.

Juggling points to legalize the now-existantviolations cannot be done ethically. We mustprotect the standards of Southwestern if theyare to have any meaning. If the point systemneeds revision, action should be taken;but until it is changed, it must be enforced asit stands. We should not let people carry moreextra-curricular work than our laws allow. Evenif a student is capable of carrying such aheave load, the integrity of the student body'srules must be maintained.

Violations of the point system are likely toresult in sloppy academic work as well as lowefficiency in extra-curricular responsibilities.Failure in either of these fields is an indicationof a shortage of moral strength and a breakingdown of Southwestern's traditional ideals.

It is up to the students to preserve the in-tegrity of the student body and to see that rulesare enforced.

Freshman's FolliesAnd Foibles AreFun For Friends

By Ed FranciscoThe question of a Freshman's

greeness needs further considera-tion. Some have rather definiteideas about how it's best to becomea part of Southwestern.

Some remember the family'sparting word's, "Now it is always ahelp to get to know your profes-sors right away, dear." And al-though the freshmen's plans do notalways turn out as expected, theyare to be complimented on theprofusion of effort expended inthese matters.

Take an average ambitious fresh-man whom I met a few days ago.He had had a long talk with one ofour professors, and later when heasked the name of the professor,he was informed that he had beenspeaking with President Rhodes,himself.

Now normally the situationwould have ended with that-avery surprised freshman, and acontemptious sneer from the up-perclassman. However, we under-estimate our freshmen. This casualremark had the making for a lit-tle drama.

On walking through the Lair yes-terday, who does our freshmanspy but the same professor. Be-ing an ambitious freshman he hasforgotten nothing. Now guess whoby a thousand to one chance justhappens to be sitting with thesame professor at this crisis in ourfreshman's life? You are right-

®S SSE0 *><

In a few more days you new stu-dents will no longer be confusedand mystified by a new campus andfrat rushing, but will simply be"plain old freshmen." You fresh-men are to wear signs, bonnets, andtaps; know the Alma Mater;and be always ready to perform"little duties" for upperclassmen.Watch out! They're FIENDSAFTER FRESHMEN!

If you happen to turn a cornersomeday and find yourself face-to-face with Helen (Speedy)Swartsfager-Beware! On yourknees quick! Start singing theAlma Mater at the top of yourvoice !-or else!!

What if one day the side of yourfoot should casually brush againsta blade of grass? Don't even tellyour closest friend-and just praythat it won't get back to Ed Wills,Vice President of the Student Body.If it should, just hope he's easy onya'. Maybe he'll only make youcount all the stones in Palmer Hall.

Got a good memory? Well, evenif you don't, you'd better learn allthose seniors' names, especiallyAnn Henderson's and FrancesFreeman's. They are two moremembers of the Woman's Under-graduate Board--and, they reallyhave it in for the freshmen!

You gals may think ' you'resophisticated college students now,but don't let your vanity keep youfrom wearing those baby bonnets,or Sue Pingree and Joan Smith,board members, may make youwear some dunce caps instead.

So if you should run into them-just don't!

We hope you use this advice toyour advantage, and the only hopewe can offer you is that--next yearyou will be FIENDS AFTERFRESHMEN!

student at any of our universitieswould have to attend about thirtyhours of courses a week.

I have not attended many classesyet and cannot judge with author-ity the worthiness and the level of

teaching. I assume that the coursesare as interesting as one couldwish and that I'll learn a lot fromthe emminent professors who arecrowding the campus.

By the way, I would like to addhow pleased I feel to teach theFrench conversation classes. Al-ready I know that many amongthe students are interested in

French language, French tradi-

tions, customs, and tastes. I ex-

pect that each of them will provehis interest in this field of studies

by learning the'French languageas soon as he can. Incidentally, I

want to say that some of themproved to me their wonderful com-mand of French during the firstconversation class or in chatting

with me during the recreationhours. I want you to know that if

anyone has to deal with some point

which requires my help, I will be

glad to assist him if I can.

the real President Rhodes, himself.

Our freshman braces himself,strides forward boldly and with agreat florish to the professor says,"Oh! Good morning Dr. Rhodes. It

is good to see you again, and how

are you today?"Then with never a glance at

the Doctor, himself, he moves alonghis blissful way, leaving a be-

wildered professor, an amused col-lege president, and a satisfiedfreshman ,the net result of the in-cident.

Chap ChimesBetty Sue Wilcox

College is the time when we make many lastingfriends, we make many acquaintances, and meetmany people. Some we remember and some we soonforget. In the beginning of their college careerfreshmen choose the people with whom they will

spend the most time and the groups with which

they have the most in common. Some of these col-.

lege associations and friendships will be lasting

and valuable. Many times a man owes his successto the influence which his friends h'ave had upon

him.

We are guided and misguided by those with whom

we 'associate. Ideas, habits, mannerisms,' tastes,

values, and prejudices are adopted and adapted

from acquaintances. It is well, then, that we under-

score two emphases if our concern is to seek guid-

ance to Christian growth and inner enrichment: the

exercise of selectivity (without snobbishness) in

our choice of friends and acquaintances and the

giving of ourselves freely to these friends, and

probing deeply into their person and character.

If we are not selective, we usually end up "going

around with" a number of people we happen to

have been thrown in with-they are associates, not

friends. Creative growth for any of the p'arties

there involved is usually only an accidental occur-

ence. The main part of being a friend is giving-

giving the best of yourself for the enrichment of

someone else, and in the act of giving, finding

true happiness in bping able to say, "I, too, have a

friend."---- o--

Sulking DynamoNothing has been done about Homecoming

yet. Obviously, something has to be done, sincethere will be no football this year.

Football has always been the operator, themotif, the excuse for the Homecoming celebra-tion. Without the traditional sport there is norelease for the collective spirit, the hidden en-ergy, the suppressed dynamo of the studententity.

Homecoming, the usual climax of each fall'ssurge of barbaric enthusiasm, has discovered abig, black, bare cupboard staring it in the face.After all, the end of freshman regulations, theclass reunions, and the year's biggest dance,have got to have some kind of logical unifyingfactor. Homecoming, or somebody, anyway,had better find a new bone to chomp on.

The problem isn't entirely the responsibilityof the student government and the alumni ot-fice. In fact, most of the responsibility rests withthe students and the alumni, not with a bunch ofcommittee representatives. Students and alumnishould insist that their ideas and suggestions getconsideration at the committee meetings plan-

ning the celebration.All-Star games sound expensive and compli-

cated, and a Freshman Field Day probably willnot be adequate. Whatever the decision, weneed one quickly.

Perhaps the alumni, faculty, and students cangather in Fargason Field House on some sunnyafternoon in late November. We can watchtelevision and cheer for ole Notre Dame.

ExcelsiorWill Negroes be admitted to Southwestern this

year? Will organized cribbing be encouraged by theHonor Council? Will girls be permitted to stay inRobb Hall after 3 a.m. on week nights? No ..

but striking improvements have been made.The- ever-active student council has perfected a

new insecticide expressly to keep the silverfish outof the library books. Rumor has it that the fresh-men will be required to spray each and every sideof each and every page of each and every book in

the library with this new miracle product. MissMarsh is reported to be ecstatic over the develop-

ment and is backing the student council all the way.This same juice will be used to keep the moths outof the football uniforms for the current season.

Incidentally when the bell rings now (Do not askfor whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee), it rings31 times instead of the hackneyed 15.

To the returning student perhaps the most notice-able improvement will be the rejuvenation of thetemporary buildings which line Fargason Field.These buildings have been transformed from theirformer unobtrusive deep green to a new shade;soothing and restful, it is reminiscent of the lumin-ous skin of Grendel's mother.

With rock-ribbed integrity Southwestern willcontinue to strive ever dead ahead for grand and

gloriouser achievements.

The Sport LightBy Don Ramier

As baseball fades out of the sports picture, and dies away 'tilspring, football with all its vigor and excitement leaps forward todominate the sports world. The question of the season; will footballkeep its face clean, or will it be scandalized, as was basketball?

At Southwestern, with varsity football a thing of the past, avast intramural program attempts to take its place. Coach Bill May-bry, our genial" physical education director, announces that theseason will begin October 3, with the league consisting of seven teams.Each fraternity will be represented, along with the Independent group.As it stands now, SAE and KA seem to be the teams to beat, withATO the dark horse. SAE is' perrenially strong but has lost someof its old power. Still, they can't be counted out. KA is extremelypowerful along the line, but lacks backfield talent. ATO has addeda bit of material to the line and backfield. In addition to this, theirspirit and hustle could make them a strong contender. But the finaloutcome will depend greatly upon which way the freshmen fall.

These bundles of vitality should add much-needed new blood andshow Southwestern a more spirited and perhaps rougher intramuralseason. Many of them .are very good athletes and have had varsityexperience in high school. The class as a whole is more athleticallyinclined than the usual. Evidence of this fact is the big touch-footballgame usually in session on Fargason field. The tennis courts too,are bustling with activity.

While the subject is still new, I shall make known a few of ourfreshmen with good sports records. Ernest "Sonny" Molpus is aMobile, Alabama lad who is 6'3", 'and has had quite a bit of ex-perience on the gridiron. He was first string end on one of Alabama'sbetter high school teams. Another boarding student athelete is JohnMaxwell, 6'3" basketball and baseball player who hails from Dyers-burg, Tenn. John Gilbert, Frank Horton, and James Cunningham arethree local standouts.

Gilbert is an ex-Central High football and baseball star. Hortonand Cunningham were team-mates at East High where they playedall three major sports. Horton was All-Memphis catcher in baseball,and Cunningham won the same honor as center in basketball. Otherswho will give Southwestern an athletic shot in the arm are TomJones, John Goodson, Tom Crais, Jerry Wood, and Robert Pait.

My final thought on this matter is that the combination of thesenew boys and the veterans wouldvarsity football team. It will bereturns next year.

Johnson's Record WAA To Plan Inter-SororityPromises Results RnclrptinllI Tinmc Prplitp rl

In the short time that Southwestern students have been of

campus for the 1951-52 sessionthey have already become awareof the pep and enthusiasm thaeminates from the person and office of Coach Glenn Johnson. Unprecedented activity is seen dailaround the Athletic Departmenand upon the school's athletilfields.

This is just the sort of industr3that one who knows the reputatiorof Coach Johnson might expect. A-the school where he was most re-cently athletic director, Bethany iiWest Virginia, his basketball teanwon the championship of the statefor the last two years; the recorcof his baseball team was a near

equal to this. His football teamsat Bethany and at the otherschools where he has coached havemade good records in the smallcollege circles in which they have

played.Originally of Huntington, In-

diana, Mr. Johnson took his under-graduate work at the Universityof Indiana and received his Masterof Arts in Physical Education fromColumbia University. He also didgraduate work at Indiana.

His first coaching position wasat Huntington College in 1921.From 1924 to 1929, he coached atBloomington (Ind.) High School;1931-35 at Skaneateles (N. Y.)High School; Hartwick College,Oneonta, N. Y., 1935-40; Mans-field (Pa.) Teachers College(1940-41); Indianapolis Tech High1941-42; Canterbury College 1942-48; and he has been at Bethanysince then.

Coach Johnson hopes to attractmore of the students' interest tovarsity athletics, which he believesshould be more important to thestudents than intramurals. Forthis reason he is placing a newemphasis on track and field ath-letics, through which students whocould not otherwise.do so will beable to find a place in varsityathletics.

Southwestern's Athletic Depart-ment and its Faculty AthleticCommittee have always felt thatthe Lynx Varsity Program shouldbe open to any who wish to par-ticipate and not filled with athleteson athletic scholarships. Mr. John-son is carrying forward this pro-gram, trying to find a ,place forany student who seeks it on thevarsity teams of the college.

Chi O will have a hard time de-fending their title and managerBetty Jo Carter realizes it. She isthe only returning forward andRita Cuningham, a substituteguard last year, and Connie Aus-tin, guard on last year"s transferteam, complete the experiencedroster of the uninjured.

Also beset by loss through in-jury are the Zeta's. Sarah Cheshirewho played regularly at forwardlast year is definitely out for theseason. The hole left by Doc Mor-row who has left school will alsobe hard to fill.

Anne McGeehee, team captain,will be a welcome addition fromlast year's freshmen as will Bar-bara Curtis, Mary Ann Wiseman,Mary Rush, and Beth Perkins.They will join veterans Fritz Free-man, Speedy Faulk, and MaryFrances Steen to form one ofZeta's most experienced teams inyears.

Tri-Delt's Dee Dee Dennison isreasonably sure that they willhave an excellent team with sixmembers of last year's squad backand three standouts up from thefreshmen. They also have untriedplayers to add depth on both endsof the court.

Expected to continue their finework at guard are Ann TaylorWalker, Sara Jane Bryant, MaryMyers, Betty Ann McFadden, andBetty Worthington.

The AOPi's have a smaller num-ber to work with but managerAnne Riley is confident that theywill give a good account of them-selves. All of the team is experienc-ed, and Joan Stewart and JaneWittichen up from the transfers,are the only newcomers who mustlearn their style of play.

"We aren't expecting to have abasketball team, but we'll haveplenty of spirit," says KD's DoodleBusby. "We just have one forwardand five guards and this isn't Keep-away."

Nevertheless Kappa Delta stillhas their all-time All-Star forwardMary Woods, and they will haveguard Jean Enochs to feed the ballto her.

Foreign StudentsHere To Study at SouthwesternOthers ReturnSecond Year

Formosan ExpectedTo Come SoonBy Thoburn F. Horn

World peace and internationalunderstanding again find activesupport at Southwestern as fivenew foreign students are welcomedto the campus. In addition two

foreign students who attended the

college last year will return.Southwestern joins several hun-

dred other educational institutions

in contributing to the exchange-student program. The State De-partment and the International In-

stitute of Education work with col-leges and universities all over the

United States to bring foreign stu-dents to this country to study.

The purpose and effectiveness of

the program has been explained by

Dr. J. 0. Embry, foreign studentadvisor at Southwestern."Perhaps the most urgent prob-

lem of our times," Dr. Embry said,"is to determine how the nationsof the world can live together with-out periodically resorting to war.

No Cure-All

"Obviously there is no quick

cure-all for international ills. Butas an instrument of understandingand mutual assistance among na-

tions, the exchange of students hasbeen found one of the most suc-

cessful methods of promoting in-

ternational good will.

"Probably, more than two millionAmericans will be enrolled in our

colleges this year. It seems sensi-

ble to invest in producing business-men, engineers, welfare workers,farmers, doctors, and teachers whowill make the nation healthier and

stronger and a better place in

which to live.

"Likewise, international educa-tion seems a sensible investment.When many thousands of studentshave the opportunity to study

abroad, we will have made a greatinvestment in future leadership

with the hope that the world, too,

may be made healthier and strong-er and a better place in which tolive.

."Anyone or any organization in-

terested in promoting greaterunderstanding among the peoplesof the world through the exchangeof students is invited to assist

Southwestern in providing more op-portunities for foreign students tostudy in this country, or for Ameri-can students to study abroad."

Donations Received

The student exchange program

at Southwestern has been aided

through the generosity of the fol-lowing scholarship donors:

Mr. G. Touliatos, 479 N. Willett.Miss Norma Webb, 1832 Nether-

wood.Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Chapin of

Judd Hill Plantation, Arkansas,in memory of Mr. and Mrs. JuddHill, parents of Mrs. Chapin.

Four of the five new foreignstudents have already arrived:Friedrich Stieglitz, Johanna Clas,John Hsioh-chien Li, and Rene

Lemarchand.Friedrich Stieglitz

Friedrich Stieglitz of Wels, Aus-

tria, will study economics and al-

lied courses at Southwestern. Be-fore coming here he attended theInstitute of Commerce in Vienna

for two years.

"Freddy" chose Southwestern be-cause its courses "seem to deal withall phases of life and culture." The

friendliness of students here hasbeen a very pleasant surprise, andhe is especially impressed by spon-taneous discussion sessions amongthe ddrmitory students.

Friedrich has observed that a

number of European concepts of

of life in America are incorrect,if not entirely misleading. He was

told, for example, that "the wholeAmerica is always in a hurry," buthe finds the pace of American lifenot much different from his own

in Austria.

Friedrich will teach German con-versation while at Southwestern.

Johanna Clas

Johanna (Joan) Clas from Ost-

helm, Germany, wishes to enter thejournalistic or teaching profes-sion.

Here she will study English,

French, and Spanish. She grad-

uated from the Oberrealschule at

Bad Neustadt'last June.

Southwestern's beautiful campus

and friendly students have given

her a very favorable first impres-

sion of the college.Joan says of her future: "As I

intend to become either a teacher

of modern language or a journalist,

I regard it as immensely helpfulto know the spirit of other coun-

tries." She wants to be able to give

her pupils, when she returns to

Germany, "a true and living pic-

ture" of the United States, and

she expects to be better equipped

than beforehand to discuss foreign

affairs. "In my opinion," she adds,

"we should have more teachers-especially of languages-who are

able to give their,pupils more than

Rene Lemarchand

About his plans he says, "I amvery anxious to get acquaintedwith the civilization of the New

World... . I am particularly inter-

ested in social sciences and have

been studying these questions for

my own interest for two years. So-

cial studies in an American collegeshould be quite fruitful for my fu-

ture career."Rene has studied political

sciences and economics at the In-

stitut du Science Politique at the

Sorbonne. When he returns to

France, he plans to continue his

work at the Institut and to preparea thesis upon the development of

European Civilization and culture

in modern America.Rene finds life in the United

States easier than in France. He

says, "America is not really a land

of milk and honey, but still it is

very good," He likes American peo-

ple and thinks the friendly atmos-

phere here will be a healthy changefor him.

In addition to teaching French

conversation, Rene hopes to par-

ticipate in tennis and basketball.Timothy Liu, another Chinese

student, is expected to arrive some
