Dear Editor:I wonder if something couldn't be done to make

our professors realize that people hate to be; read to?Any student will learn more from a lecture deliveredeither from memory or spontaneously than she willfrom a lecture which is read to her.

There is only one type of lecture which a stu-dent enjoys having read to her, and that is the themethat she herself has written and turned in for criti-cism. Her own theme, or a theme written by a class-mate for her criticism, will hold her attention .. Inreading anything else out loud to a class, 1 believethat a professor merely wastes breath and tries hisspeaking voice. Even though a class may be vitallyinterested in what the professor has to offer her, it isalmost impossible to listen to more than one sentencewhich is read out loud to her.

If a professor memorized the written matterand recited it to the class with his eyes un the stu-dents> even that would be better than reading thematerial out loud.

If a professor can digest the material and theninform his class as to the text of that material, hewill accomplish a great deal of good.

If he can digest the material, present it to theclass, and make the o-iginal source available to thestudents for individual outside inspection, he will beconsidered perfect.

absolutely no complaint should be heard. A shortwalk to- the chapel boiler room supplies ourselveswith Ire" yarn and instructions and we have concretematerials with which to work and help.

The ever present complaint that one can't findtime to knit is a weak alibi. The time spent discuss-ing matters in the various dorms could well be utiliz-ed for Red Cross knitting. There is no doubt thateveryone of us spends time doing nothing but talk-ing. We do need a part of each day for relaxation butby merely doubling the use of this relaxation time,we could obviously accomplish twice as much. Inother words, use such free time to knit.

In looking around us we find that the ones whodo the most work aside from class preparation, theones who really do the most work, are those who aredoing the knitting. It is our opinion that the amountJf knitting has lagged of late and though we areaware of the fact that much has been said and writ-ten about "knitting for the Red Cross," we'd like toremind you that the quota is due before Christmasvacation. For those of us who haven't as yet helpedto meet the quota, now is the time to start.

Laughter Is a Fine Thing But-Laughter is a fine thing, in the right places and

at the right times) BUT ... Quite often we've hadoutbursts of giggling, ·tittering, and guffawing in thewrong places at the wrong times. Last week, at theHumphrey-Weidman recital, several snickers, and anhysterical giggle were emitted, for no particularreason, at a serious point in the program, when theenthralled audience was held in breathless silence.The pointless laughter. was not only discourteous,but disconcerting, and if the performers had heard it,it might have destroyed their mood as much as it didthat of the audience. A gentleman in the audiencewas heard to remark, disgustedly, "Isn't that justlike a bunch of dumb school girls 7"

Another incident of a similar nature occurred atAmalgamation meeting during the series of serioustableaux being presented for the Community Chestcampaign, to the 'great embarrassment of most of thestudents, who were enjoying the tableaux,

Of course there are times when seeing a friendon the stage makes you want to laugh. ] ust the ideaof letting her knew you recognize her sometimescauses this desire to titter, and we admit it's hard 'tocontrol at times. But it undoubtedly flusters thefriend on the stage, as well as those around, andoften spoils the whole performance for many people.And who likes to be accused of being nothing but abunch of "silly, giggling high school girls."

What can we do in the way of defense efforts 7This is the question so often put forth in convocationand class discussions. The question is almost alwaysleft unanswered by anything that we should call apractical and down-to-earth solution. 'This is no criti-cism as it is obviously difficult to answer. However,we do feel that right before us there is one practicalanswer; meet and surpass the Red Cross knittingquota.

This "bit for defense" is so easy to perform that

wagons sunk to their axles, footsoldiers sunk to their knees, theGerman drive on to Moscow seemsto be momentarily slowing. This isevident not only because of the pre-carious Russian weather but alsobecause of the stress laid in theGerman newspapers and radio pre-paring the people for a long war.They are urged to curtail expendi-tures further and make more sacri-fices to assist in financing the war'scost, These controlled agencies con-tinue to hurl wol-ds, worthy of li-bel, "Roosevelt the Liar," and railagainst the wall street "war-mon-gers," in the meanwhile commend-ing the Hearst publications whichshow the opinion of the peacefulAmerican people,

BOOKREVIEW

By Marilyn Sworzyn '43Threshold magazme which

made its initial appearance in Oc-tober is the first non-partisan, non-religious intercollegiate journal de-voted to the publication of the beststudent output in the way of ar-ticles, fiction, verse, and reviews.Eleanor Roosevelt's article entitled"If I were a Freshman," and MaxLerners' column, "The NewBooks," are examples of Thresh-01£ s attempt to create a greaterunderstanding between the young-er and older generation throughliterary activity.Threshold is endeavoring to

erase that unnatural cleavage be-tween the politician and the es-thetes on college campuses. Its firstissue, therefore, covers a wide fieldof student interests ranging from"China's Triangular War," "Ben-nington," and "The University asBig Business," to Civil service op-portunities, the Communist ele-ment in the Youth Movement,and a jazz review. Snappy car-toons, verses, and short storiesmake for lighter reading.International Student Service as

the editors of Threshold are "vital-ly concerned with the democraticdefense against totalitarianism butespouse no further more specific,political or economic doctrines."All student contributions are in-vited. 'The first Threshold is a candid,

informative, concise, artistic, com-prehensive, and witty publication.It is too early to pass final judg-ment on the magazine-five mo~eissues are yet to appear within jhiscollege year. As an initial attempt,however, I think Threshold is aforward step in student publica-tions. Although the first issue hasnot, perhaps, introduced a youngShakespeare or Milton, it embodiesthe spirit of youth. Threshold hasgreat possibilities of being themedium through which the talentsand aspirations of youth can findexpression.

3 What in your opinion would a Hitler victory overGreat Britain mean to the American way of life?

a Very little. America could maintain its democraticway satisfactorily, by making adjustments to a Hit-ler-dominated Europe.

b It may threaten our way of life to some degree, butthat threat will b~ much smaller than the threat of apossible loss of internal democracy that would ac-company an American declaration of war on Ger-many.

c It will be so dangerous as to make life extremely diffi-cult in its present ways.

d It will render impossible the survival of our systemof political democracy and economic capitalism, evenwithout the threat of actual external aggression.

e It will mean out and out Nazi military conquest ofthe Western Hemisphere.

I would say that the best course in regard to strikesin defense industries is:

a To empower the president through legislation to enddefense strikes by force, if he sees fit.

b To empower the president by legislation to take overdefense plants, as such strikes occur.

c To leave strike 'settlements to such plant and unionofficials as are concerned, without government inter-ference.

d To leave things as they stand at present concerninggovernment intervention in defense strikes.

a Concentrate on our problems, and avoid entanglingEuropean commitments.

b If a post-war organization of the Western Statesarises, co-operate with it, but do not join it.

c Join and actively take part in the post-war system ofWorld organization.
