Gerry Grady

Elect Grady President of Student Body

New Prexy Promises To Fulfill Thoughts He Expressed in Speech

Friday, February 20. Gerry Grady

was elected by a margin of 25 votes

to the office of student body presi­

dent. Since the election he has been

formulating his platform, based on

action and reform, into a program

with definite aims and objectives,

which we will no doubt hear of soon. In order to take advantage of the present interest and desire for action. Gerry will probably be given much responsibility in this

j year's government, although Don Frederickson remains the presi­dent for the entire year.

In his post-election message to the Lawrentians. Gerry states, “I intend to put into action th e1 thoughts I expressed in my plat- j form and chapel spcech. During the ; last few weeks many issues and ; ideas have been brought forth. A ll j require consideration. The task is now to maintain student interest and act accordingly.

“Student government must dur­ing the next year increase its in­fluence. There is a hard Job to do, and it shall be done. From each Lawrentian I ask cooperation and to you I pledge to do my best for the welfare of the student body.”

College Band Will Present Public Concert

The Lawrence college band, un­

der the direction of Mr. E. C. Moore,

plans to present a concert to the general public on Thursday, March 5.

fill« cutcvii; *r''! Vf* the first public appearance of the entire band. Although Lawrence is noted for its excellent conservatory, band work has been shamefully neglected until the present time. The band now consists of about 40 pieces and it is to be hoped that after the con­cert more students will consider se­riously the thought of joining.

Tw* SoloistsThe concert program includes two

symphony numbers, one a collection of light Hungarian themes, and the other a composition by Tschaikows- ky. Symphony in F Minor.

Two soloists are members of the band. Bob Sager and Bob Stroetz Mr. Moore has arranged that each demonstrate his prowess in a musi­cal novelty number. The polka. "Bride of the Waves.” features Bob Sager as the cornet soloist, and the trombone solo in the waltz, “Thoughts of Love.” is taken by Bob Stroetz. A number of marches and light concert numbers completea the program.

Although the date for the per formance has been set at March 5, it may have to be changed because of unforeseen conflicts. Watch your next Lawrentian for the definite date of the concert.

Glasow, Harker, Hubbard and

Hansen are Four Best LovedA hush fell over the banquet hall

and then—amid the soft shine Of candle light and to the strains of the Minuet, the four Best Loved danced their way into the most thrilling night of their lives here at Lawrence.

Aristocratic-looklng in their col­onial costumes Hark and Hubbie led their dames Jo and Sis in turns and curtsies. It was a moment that sent the blood tingling through ev­eryone’s vems. There was a hush until people could recognize them under their powdered wigs and then a great applause. It was wonderful!

When the dance was finished the Best Loved returned to their guests and dinner was served.

After dinner, the toastmistress, Dorien Montz gave a short speech about the tradition of Best Loved and welcomed their guests. For sharing the honor with our Best Loved, were Harker’s sister, Joyce; Mrs. Glasow; Mrs. Hansen and Hub- bie’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Hubbard.

Also present were three of last

year’s Best Loved. They were Elaine

Buesing and Mary Mueller who live

here in Appleton and Marian Coo­

ley who came up from Rockford, Illinois, and a Best Loved from two years back, Mary Agnes Sheldon, who is better known on the cam­pus as “Shelly.”

Representing last year’s Best Lov­ed, “Biz" then gave a toast and presented each one of this year’s choices with a lovely name-engrav­ed, gold, link bracelet, after which Hark, speaking for her cohorts, re­sponded and thanked them.

Mrs. Thomas Kepler, the guest speaker, was then introduced and gave a most apropos and interesting speech on “charm.”

The evening and all its signific­ance and tradition was then brought to a memorable close with the sing­ing of the Alma Mater. And now one more group of four is added to the recording sheet of tradition.

Hold Ping-Pong Tourney Here

Award Bronze Trophies To Top Place Winners

The all college ping-pong tourna­ment will start this week, and all games must be finished by Sun­day March 1, since the finals will be held on Monday and Tuesday, March 2 and 3 at the big gym. Six finalists will be determined, one from each fraternity and one from Brokaw. A ll town men will com­pete at their respective fraternity houses except the town indepen­dents who will compete at Brokaw. Both a singles and a doubles tour­nament will be conducted. All men in school are eligible and small bronze trophies will be awarded to the winners.

Play ChampaIn past years it has been the

custom for the winners of the tour­nament to play the defending singles champion, and the same procedure was followed in the dou­bles. The defending champion this year, however, is Jim Slauson and since he is not in school anymore the routine will have to be varied. Slauson and Knell were the win­ners of the doubles tournament last year and so the same applies.

Mace Group Honors Trezise at Dinner

Members of Mace, men’s honorary society, entertained in honor of Freddie Trezise at a dinner Friday, February 20, at Brokaw. Freddie, who was an honorary member of the organization, left Saturday for Tennessee where he has accepted an appointment to the TV A.

Approximately 150 students aaw Freddie off at the station Saturday afternoon.

Here they are—at long last, the

results of the Lawrentian-sponsored

election, held in convocation last

Monday, to determine which, in the

critical eyes of the guis, are the six

handsomest men on campus. . . .

George Carmen. John Disher,

Keith Ridgway, Bill Nolan, Wilbert

Luedke, and Dick Gaeth—there you have them, all in one breath. They are the women’s choice for Glam­our in pants. Four of them were last year's beauties; Gaeth and Luedke are 1942 additions.

Tall, dark and smooth, George Garman is a Phi Delt, and a four- year Handsome Man tradition. He has been active and prominent in student affairs, and this year was all-college Pep chairman. He re­cently received an appointment to West Point. He is a mainstay of the A Cappella; you can see him most anytime, on his way to or from WHBY, or choir practice, or in the Ariel office.

John Disher. Beta Theta Pi, is a dramatics star and played a lead part in the recent production of “Ladies in Retirement.”

Keith Ridgway, Beta Theta Pi. is noted chiefly for his glamour and his girl. He also is an upstanding member of the A Cappella.

Black Fur CoatBill Nolan. Phi Delta Theta. is the

man you saw wearing the big black fur coat, during the sub-zero spell we had.

Dick Gaeth. Delta Tau Delta, runs the campus employment office,

' helps Wally Patten writ* hit son*'«, and sings with the tenors in the choir.

Wilbert Luedke (for heaven's sake call him Bill) is the blond freshman—“blondest man on camp­us.” some one called him. He has caused many a heart to flutter, but more power to him. he seems de­termined to crack his books first, and let the women wait.

And so, Lawrence, those are your s!x handsomest!

Practically all the women voted, and as usual it was an exciting race for last place between all the fel­lows going steady who weren’t in the doghouse that day.

We're sure the campus will ap­prove the results, but if for some reason you think it’s fishy because your man didn't get it. and you want to count the ballots yourself— see the editor, and go to it.

Sunset to MeetSunset will meet Wednesday,

March 4, In Main hall instead of February 25, aa had been planned.

Craftsman to

Be on Campus For Three Days

Harold Brennan, Noted Crafts man, to Lecture, Demonstrate His Work

Harold J. Brennan, noted young

American craftsman, will be on

the campus of tawrence college

March 2, 3, and 4, at which time

be will lecture, demonstrate, and

consult with students interested in

his art. Mr. Brennan has studied

• t the Carnegie Institute of Tech­

nology, Harvard university, and

the University of Paris, where in

1938 he held a traveling scholarship

at the Institute of Art and Archae­

ology. He has held the Tiffany Fellowship at the Tiffany Founda­tion in Oyster Bay, New York.

His art inclines that of the Jewelry craft* ;tnd work in tooled leather. He will bring with him JO of his drawings, collection« of Jewelry pieces designed by him. and a collection of pieces of leath­er craft also of his own design. These works will be exhibited dur­ing his visit. Mr. Brennan will one clay demonstrate how a piece of Jewelry is made and on another day show how to do leather tooling. Students interested may watch the design and execution as he pro­ceeds and may if they wish try their hand at the same work with the extra tools available. He will give illustrated lecture talks on drawing and its historical develop­ments. Mr. Brennan, who since 1933 has been associate professor ©f art at Westminster college, has exhibited much of his jewelry and metal craft in New York, Pitts­burgh, and Philadelphia.

An exhibit of Mr. Brennan’s Work* will be held in the alcove and show case on the second floor of the library and also In the chemistry lecture room where the two demonstrations will be held The schedule for Mr. Brennan's lectures is as follows:

Gyorgy Sandor Gives Third

Recital in Artist SeriesBY DAYTON GKAFMAN

Gyorgy Sandor, Hungarian pian­

ist, presented the third recital in the

Artists Series last Tuesday night. Mr. Sandor revealed himself as un immensely facile pianist. His play­ing is vital and displays a technique rarely found in the average pianist. Sandor used the Bach Chromatic

ter craftsmen at 9 a. m. in thephysics lecture room.

Open to Students AH these meetings are open to

students, and any one interested is invited to attend the informal dis­cussions following both demon­strations and the lecture. Stu­dents who wish to try either craft can do so by using the tools which 1 Mr. Brennan will have with him. I

If there is sufficient interest in these crafts, it is possible that the1 necessary tools can be obtained for the hubby work shop.

Monday evening Mr. Brennan' will be entertained by the faculty I at dinner in the small dining room ! of Brokaw hall and also at the regular faculty luncheon Wednes-1 day noon at Brokaw. There w ill; be an informal discussion after j each of these. Monday evening the j topic will be on “Problems of In-!

, tegration Courses and Synthesizing Programs."

Mr. Brennan is eager to meet the 1 students and discuss with any one, personal problems or careers in

I some branch of his field. Mr. Wal- 1 lace Baldingcr will arrange for in­dividual meetings with Mr. Bren­nan.

Fantasy and Fugue and the Liszt Sonata as major works projecting

his interpretive capabilities.

Mr. Sandor appealed to the “usual

cold Appleton audience” by playing

the Polka by Shostakovitch, a hu­

morous little "tid-bit." He thinks

of this number as a “musical joke.”

In his Chopin playing. Sandor al­

lows himself to be overcome by his

otherwise admirable technical fa­

cility, therefore sacrificing rhythms

and pianissimos. The saíne holds

true for the Ondine by Ravel.As soon as Mr. Sandor finished

the last number on the program, the people in the audience who come to each Artists Series Concert for cur­iosity's sake, or just to be seen, made their usual “break” for the exits! It's a good thing that some people have respect for an artist and know enough to ask for en­cores.

A reception was given by Phf Mu Alpha Sinfonía, men’s national mu­sic fraternity, at Peabody hall di­rectly after the concert. Mr. Sandor was complimented by a large crowd. Refreshments were served.

tary training to be held under the

auspices of military studies of the

University of Chicago opening at

the Oriental institute on the campus

of the university today and con­

President Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chi­cago said concerning the confer­ence “We need to know that th e military training provided will be i uniform and sound and that it will , be utilized by the armed forces.

S o They SayThe Lawrentian Invite* »Indent* and faculty alike to u*S

this column for an expresMon of their view» on matters of summon interest. Contributors are subject only to ths re* atrh tion that there »hall be no libel and that ths length of articles bs within reasonable bounds.

FE L IO W LAWRENTIAN:

To quote from the objectives of the col­

lege in the advertising booklet We’re Going to

Lawrenc*. “Lawrence college in common with

other educational institutions, seeks to pre­

pare its students for .ntclligent and effective

life as individuals and as members of the fam­

ily, the community and the state. As a college

of liberal arts, its function is to emphasize the

study of the physical a n ' social environment

©f man and the thoughts and achievements of

the human race and through this to develop

well integrated personalities in terms of physi­

cal well being, independent thought, discrimina­

ting aesthetic perception, effective expression

«nd social responsibility in a democracy."

In a highly specialized world at war, such

w ith which we are faced, it is easily seen why

the liberal college is fighting for its very ex­

istence. My quarrel, however, is not whether

the lib al education ideal is good or bad,

for I rm convinced that basically it can lead

to the fullest life. My reason for writing

this article is because I believe we Lawren-

tians, who have such opportunities, are not

fully living up to those objectives as outlined

above. The old trite saying “Who is the Col­

lege?” is applicable here to the word Law- rentian as in any other usage.

The interest in the recent election and the

unprecedented outcome clearly indicated that

the college has a reawakened Interest in that

heritage of “self expression of social responsi­

bility.” For some years past I believe that

student problems have become often times side­

tracked in that junk pile oi inactivity. The

governing body of the students should not

necessarily be branded as “ineffective,” but

many useful and fine ideas have been lost for

practic: ’ usage because the right groups were

ineffective in pushing them.

I do not wish to be as so many critics,

who car never be constructive, so I wish to

outline a method which I believe might solve

this problem to some degree.

Every governmental form has its weak

points, but I fu lly believe that such a govern­

ment for our college, based upon a functional

representation would fu lfill our needs much

better than the Executive committee docs now,

being based jpon class representation. To ex­

plain fur' ier, I believe that most student dis­

cussion and activity arrives from fraternity and

sorority groups. Yet the Interfraternity and

Pan Hellenic councils which represent those

groups ha^e only a small measure of effective­

ness in p-oinoting legislation which would be

of an all-college nature. Why, therefore, do

we not rewrite our constitution to do away

with the Executive committee and in its place

substitute an all student senate. This group

would consist of 15 members, one from each

musical and social fraternity and sorority, and

one representative from both the independent

men end women. Present at each meeting

would be one representative from the admin­

istration who would carry no vote.

The opponents of such a plan point out that

this w 'u l i increase emphasis on fraternity

combines, a criticism partly true. However,

on the other hand, combines of sorts always

exist anyway in any government and such an

arrangement would bring such coalitions into

the open light. Furthermore, actual elections

would be thrown back to each fraternal group

from which candidates arise anyway. This fact

would load to less political interfraternity quar­

rels and disappointments. The student body

president wou.V naturally be the presiding offi­

cer of the body.

Such .? plan is not a new one for it was

first bi ought to my attention in a "So They

Say” column back in May 9, 1940.

In short, the situation is this. Recognizing

we have an opportunity to develop those qual­

ities which are to be so necessary in the years

to come, we have fallen short of our objec­

tive of developing independent thought and a

sense of social responsibility. Realizing that

the fraternal groups on our campus are a vital

factor in determining student opinion and aug-

m entinf action, I believe that we should tap

this source and put student government in

those hands which do the best job of making

our student body the most active and vital unit

to reach those goals of the liberal education.

Grin and Bear It

In th e D o g h o u seD

OGHOUSE notes with consid­erable chagrin that so many among us have placed their

Classification as ‘Lawrentians’ sec­

ond to their Greek affiliations.

This is especially prevalent among

the men who seem to have the mot­

to: “Tappa Drapa first, Lawrence

Second." A bunch of Tappas will

group together in the stands and

je ll to beat hell at their Tappa hero

•s though he were the only play­

er on the floor. They wouldn't yell

for the player from the Fry Smelt

house even though he is playing

Just as hard. And then there is the

cheer lender who wants the stands

to give three extra cheers for the wounded football hero, ’cause he’s• Fry Smelt The teams play with Unity and for Lawrence alone—the Stands cheer with disunity and for the 'ol frat club.

This isn't evident only at sport •vents. Last week’s Lawrentian car­ried an article that fairly reeked ©f prejudice. In the article the fra­ternity brother candidate for stu­dent body President was depicted •s the fair-haired lad who would lead Lawrence to the “I hearby Promise-ed Land”. The other con­tenders were looked upon as "bloodthirsty" and “spiritless”. On- lyly a prejudiced opinion was giv- •n and this displayed lack of in­

vestigation, considerable lack of

tact, and very poor Lawrence spirit!

* * *Doghouse reviews the recent edi­

tion of the CONTRIBUTOR. We would like to quote a few lines from an article entitled “Say Goodbye Before You Go;” “They entered a hotel and took the elevator up to the twenty-third floor. . . . The room was dark and obscure and private and larger in appearance than it really was. . , , There were windows on three sides. Then the Lindbergh beacon lit up the dark sky for just a moment and at­tached the bar and the room to it and left the fruit man down below. . . . . The juke box was playing "Night and Day" quite well. . . . Officers in deep navy uniforms hov­ered in the background. . . .” What a coincidence that the writer of the quoted article should so vi­vidly describe the Tip-Top Tap of the Hotel Allerton located on Michi­gan blvd. of the famous windy city. Administration beware, your children are going into those aw­ful places again. They ■say that to write a good story one must have an inspiration.

IT IS generally thought that the only thing that ’ticks" between a Con spook’s ears is a metro­

Thunder Rock' Was Without

Parallel in Its GreatnessBy Robert Carter

Thunder Rock was power, it

was sweeping and pointed in its1

impact It dabbed on the canvas of our thoughts the colors of truth and realization, in firm and in bold strokes. Yet amazingly enough, it painted its picture without the in­clusion of a single Gestapo bull- whip, one gutteral Hauptmann, or one American flag. In directness, in simplicity, there is majesty.

Not that this play was shallow or crudely sketched or simple in all the ramifications of the word. Its vital story was a difficult one to tell. From the standpoint of technique, it was all but easy. Here is a production then, that must be viewed through two pairs of eyes —a pair for the technical, a pair for the psychological and spiritual.

In all sincerity, and without reservation, it is the opinion of

jority, however, firmly believe that we must save the wear and tear on the pianos and rooms, and advo­cate abolishment of practice per­iods during the Emergency. At least, they urge a greatly accelera­ted program, and suggest that the required two hours per day be cut at least three-fourths, and that the remainder of the time be spent knitting and bolstering each other’s civilian morale in the lobby.

* * *Practice rooms, long a second

“Down River” (less romantic but more practical than the original, with only an occasional “checker' to Intrude) have come in for an­other severe blow, for by her 376th Ultimatum, the Con sheriff has strictly rationed necking in prac tice rooms, limiting such a prlvil ege to only “pinned” people. As there is only one pin in the Con this year, the checkers’ lives are getting rather monotonous.

en birth to an ingenious money making scheme. The Con's Ralph J. Watts iname withheld) decided that radiator-standing space could be rented out by the half hour, and the proceeds given to the Red Cross. If the weather holds out, watch the Red Cross make their quota!

Music QuotesRandall Thompson has complet­

ed his opera, “Solomon and Balkis,” the first Chamber opera commig- sioned by the League of Composers in its plan to promote a new American opera movement. The work is based on Kipling’s short story, ‘The Butterfly That Stamp­ed.” It will be heard over CBS in the spring.

this reviewer — a conviction bless­ed by all who attended — that Roger Sherman's breath - taking stage setting was utterly without parallel in amateur theatrical cir­cles. As a matter of fact, it sur­passed the amateur, and delved deeply into the realm of the pro- ̂fessional. It encompassed not only' the interior of this Lake Michigan lighthouse, but brought us a bit ot, the exterior of the structure. and part of the striking landscape as well. The lighting was magnifi­cently realistic and beautiful.

UniqueThunder Rock was unique in ex­

hibiting such a well-rounded and finely-knitted cast. George Ger­man lent all of his keen poise, his flexible voice, his stage intimacy to the part of Streeter. He seemed a bit too much the Rover boy ii) the last scene of the third act, but then, the reappearance of Street­er, with his man Chang, was en­tirely superfluous in my estime« tion. Still, the episode was not de- traction from Mr. Garman’s excel« lent performance. Charles Greg« ory faced the difficult task of ex­pressing the requisite amount of cynicism and disillusionment in the first act, of struggling and yield­ing convincingly in the second, of appearing optimistic, but not drip­ping with hope, in the third. He met the first challenge with mod­erate success, the second with grip­ping and moving finesse, the third with sincerity and polish.

All three of the feminine mem­bers of the group acquitted them­selves well — Bonnie Madsen ini her poignant and delicate portray» al of Melanie, Zorabel Gasway, who carried one of the most mov­ing and memorable scenes in th f play, as the embittered English spinster, and Dorothy Hooley al the charming Anne Marie.

Joshua the pillar of strength ha properly was. Fred Rogers wa| immensely effective as the weak but courageous Cockney immi­grant, and Robert Whitaker gave Doctor Kurtz much dignity and skill. The good doctor might have seemed the preacher or the peda­gogue, but didn't. Much of the Rocks’ humor is provided by Alan Koplar, Lawrence Storms, and Perry Powell, the crochety ana riotous Flanning.

Robert Ardrey, hand in hand with F. Theodore Cloak, has at« tempted, in the final analysis, to probe into the hidden depths of ai man’s mind, and to leave a lesson in the probing. Mr. Ardrey’s first act was weighted and somewhat stiff. His second act was master­fully done. His third, while slight­ly weaker, sustained the sami strength of emotion. And when Ardrey faltered, it was Cloak who provided the support.

Don Frederickson, Stellar Cager, Plays Last Battle of College Career

By John Gregg• Don Fredrickson, captain of the

Lawrentian basketball team, will

play his last game for his alma

mater tomorrow in the Beloit gym.

He played his laet home game against Coe last Saturday a n d though held to three points, he played a fine game. This was partly due to the fact that C o e ’ s captain, Paul Tschings, one of the best defensive for­wards in the le a g u e , w as guarding him.

Fredrickson Since his sopho­more year, the best defensive men

have been placed against him, and

“watch Fredrickson” has been a by­

word of all Lawrence opponents.

His long set shots, a driving left-

handed hook shot and a dangerous

push shot have made him a feared

man for three years.Monmouth Game

The outstanding game of his col­lege career was a 54*50 overtime Lawrence defeat at Alexander gym at the hands of Monmouth in Feb­ruary, 1939. Eight baskets and six free throws broke Lawrence’s one game scoring record that night.

Playing forward, Fredrickson led Lawrence teams for two years. Switching to guard part of the time this year, his scoring honors have been relinquished to Dick Miller. A weak knee has hampered him slightly this year, but he was out of the game only for a short spell last winter with a broken finger sustained in the St. Norbert’s game.

Second team all conference his sophomore year, and a great player all three, Lawrence will miss Don, and all Lawrentians join me. I ’m fture, in a tribute to him, and in wishing him luck tomorrow night and through the rest of the year in tennis.

Wrestling Team To Enter Midwest Grunt Tournament

With Cornell conceded its sixth consecutive title in as many years, interest in the annual Midwest con­ference wrestling championships to be held at Beloit college will cen­ter on the drawings which will have much to do with whether Be­loit or Lawrence finishes second. The men that draw the byes should gain the most points for their team for with only Lawrence and Beloit to challenge the champs, it is a case of ducking the first round matches. Lawrence has already beaten Beloit once but by a close score.

Interesting matchcs are promised In all weights with rivalry between Beloit and Lawrence running high and with each of the latter aiming to make an impression on Cornell, annually boasting one of the great­est wrestling teams in the country. It Is a moral victory to keep from being thrown by a member of the Cornell team as that is an accom­plishment in itself.

Cagers Defeat

Ripon Team in Close Battle

Miller Leads Scoring; Crossett Stands Out in Defense for Vikings

The Ripon basketball team played

true to form Monday night by

playing a tough game on their own

iloor, trying to knock off the Vik­

ings. Dick Miller scored four bas­kets and three f r e ethrows in the first half with the help of baskets by Morris, Knell and Frederick­son, pulled up to a 21-20 half- time lead after t r a i l i n g by scores of 9-2, 11-3. 13-6 and 20-16.

The Redman Miller led by Siedel

gained a 24-23 lead early in the sec­

ond half and hung on doggedly to

tie again at 34 all. The last four

minutes saw Morris breaking the

tic with a long shot followed by

Dick Miller's last basket, a beauti­

ful hook shot, and freethrows by

Harvey, Crossett and Frederickson.All Men Score

Every Vike that played scored a basket and a freethrow with the exception of Phil Knell who tied the score at 20 all late in the first half on a basket from in close after a nice pass from Crossett. Although he couldn’t find the bas­ket on a number of occasions, Crossett played a bang up defen­sive game and was a real ball hawk in the second half. Miller was high point man of the evening with 16 points while Siedel of Rip­on was close with 14. Wes Morris held Ted Scalissi, high scoring Rip­on guard, to three points the first half and bottled him up in the sec­ond half. Frederickson was third high in the evening's scoring with seven points.Lawrence—41 W ipon—SB

T o m o r r o wBeloit Team

Has Eyes on Upset Win

The basketball team will con­

clude a very successful 1941-42 sea­

son at Beloit tomorrow night. Hav­

ing cinched second place in the con­

ference Monday night the Vikcs

hope to stay in challenging position

for the title should Monmouth lose

to Grinnell and Knox.

Beloit will have the advantage of

playing on their own floor which is

awfully hard for other teams to

beat them on. However, Chuck Ba­

con's having left for the army last

Friday will weaken their team con­

siderably. Coach Denney will prob­ably start the combination that did most of the work in defeating Rip­on, Crossett at center, Miller and Fredrickson at the forwards, and Morris and Harvey at the guards.

Warren Buesing was held down a bit in the Ripon game by a cold, but may start and will undoubtedly see considerable action. The remainder of the traveling squad w ill consist of Jim Fieweger, center or forward; Phil Knell, guard and forward; Harry Haslanger, guard, and prob­ably A1 Zupek, who hasn’t seen ac­tion since he sprained his ankle in the Knox game. Jim Fieweger may go with the track team to a meet at North Central college, Naper­ville, Illionis, to run hurdles and high jump, but Coach Denney has not decided whether to send him there or take him to Beloit as yet.

Two games were played in the

Interfraternity basketball league

last Saturday and as a result the

Betas have moved into second place ahead of the Sig Eps, and the Phi Delts have firmly entrenched them­selves in first place. The Phi Delts beat the Sig Eps 24-11 and the Betas beat the Phi Taus 28-4. The first round is now completely fin­ished.

The Phi Delts did not look very impressive in beating the Sig Eps who have taken a severe nosedive since running up top heavy scores in their first two games. Chuck Rol­lins scored six points against five for Herb Kichoff thereby, increas­ing his lead in the scoring race. The Phi Delts ran up a big lead in the first half and held the losers to one basket in the second half.Tram Team

The Phi Taus put up a scrappy fight against the Betas but the deadly shooting of the winners combined with a defense which is the best in the league was too much for them. Dave Maxwell was the high scorer for the losers with four points while Hammer lead the Betas with nine points.

Beloit, Vikings Show Great Swim Rivalry In Previous Meets

In no event has there been as much rivalry between Lawrence and Beloit colleges as there has been in swimming. Their dual | meets are usually decided by the final relay and in the Midwest con-, ference championships they are usually sinking each other. In the six years of these championship, meets, Lawrence has scored 137j points, Beloit 135 1-3 and Monmouth ! 73 1-3, Knox has scored 6J in four j years, and Grinnell 26 in three years.

Vike Wrestlers Lose Encounter To Badger Squad

Lawrence college wrestlers drop­ped a 21 to 13 decision to the Uni­versity of Wisconsin B squad in a match at Madison February 18.

In the 121-pound class. Lynch of Lawrence earned a decision over Leiner, 6 to 4. Wrestling at 128 pounds, Ziegler of Lawrehce pin­ned Johnston in 1 minute and 53 seconds while Fetting of Lawrence lost in the 145-pound class to Mur­phy by an 8-0 decision. Captain Bill Diver of Lawrence had a big ad­vantage but relaxed momentarily and was nailed by Krause in 7 min­utes and 58 seconds.

Colvin of Lawrence lost to Sham- po, 9 to 4, and Nolan, doing some of the best work of the meet, pin­ned Drott of Wisconsin in 4 min­utes. Nolan is a 175-pounder. Green- spon of Lawrence, ponderous hea­vyweight, was pinned by football star Dick Thornally in 4 minutes and 45 seconds.

The Badger grapplers won a pre­vious match here, 23 to 11.

Denney Sends Track Squad to Midwest Meet

North Central Plays Host to Colleges

Coach A. C. Denney will send •

small track squad to the Midwest

intercollegiate indoor meet at North

Central college, Ade’s old hangout,

at Naperville, Illinois, tomorrow.

At press time, Fieweger, Colvin,

Sattizahn and Rollins were sure to

go, with Holway, Person and Dite

as good possibilities.

The meet is an invitational affair

for colleges and small universities

of the Middlewest and is held an­

nually in North Central’s fine field

house. Last year Vince Jones broke

the field house shot put record with

a heave over 46 feet, Fieweger took

fifths in the shot and low hurdles,

a first in the high and jumped six

feet for the first time in his life to

tie for a first. Ralph Colvin was

badly spiked at the first turn of the

880 and had to retire after p ilin f up a 20 yard lead. Lawrence placed fifth last year.

Fieweger Avill high jump, hurdle and put the shot again this year, Colvin will take another crack at the half mile and Rollins will run dashes with Sattizahn, and perhaps the latter two will run in the relay with Holway and Person or Dite.

Good Luck Vikes

as good as their record shows them | to be and look like a sure thing j for the championship. The Betas j have improved greatly in their last ' two games and if their defense holds up, they probably have the best chance to challenge the Phi Delts for the trophy.

The Sig Eps looked very impres­sive in their first two games but seem to have fallen apart lately. They have a good potential team and are the dark horse of the league. A great deal depends on the next Beta-Sig Ep game. The Delts are a good steady team and stand a chance to dislodge someone from the upper three places. The Phi Taus have concentrated their whole team around Dave Maxwell but lack the material available to some of the other teams.

UNDER THE BASKET—Congrat­ulations are in order to Mr. Denny for the quality of officiating at the Inter-fraternity basketball games this year. The combination of well- established outside referees with John Hastings has produced effic­ient and fair referees, all of which goes to make better games.

Monmouth college may win its

With a one game advantage and

two to go it would take a pair of

upsets to (»ust the Scots from the

lead that they have held since Jan­

uary 10. Monmouth merts Giinncll

at Grinncll on Saturday and Knox

at Monmouth on Tuesday. A win

in either of these games or a loss

by Lawrence in its game at Beloit on Saturday will give Monmouth the title.

Second PlateLawrence, with second place al­

ready cinched, is the only team left to challenge the Scots for the title, and although they are favored in their final at Beloit, it is unlikely that Monmouth will falter. Mon- mouth's other title was in 1!>3® as the result of an undefeated nine game season.

Ripon has already concluded its Schedule, and Grinnell will with the Monmouth game. The Pioneers meet Coe at Cedar Rapids the night before. Lawrence and Beloit also finish together on Saturday night. Two neighborhood rivalries wind up the twentieth Midwest confer­ence season, Knox at Monmouth on Tuesday and Coe at Cornell on Fri­day.

Coe Leads at Half, but Lawrence Comes Back For Exciting Victory

A terrific attack featuring Dick Miller’s four baskets, two rebound buckets by Buesing. and a long push shot by Crossett started the second half off with a bang. Coe's five point halftime lead was cut to one point, but Hank Moss was off | on another spree and Coe was still ahead 34-33. At this point, Jim Fie- weger replaced a tired Warren Buesing at forward for the Vikes. Two successive fouls against him saw Jim sink three free throws, M il­ler dropped one in and the «core read 37-34, Lawrence.

Take on BeloitLeave Saturday for Return Engagement

The swimming and wrestling teams travel to Beloit this week­end for dual meets with the Blue and Gold. Captain Wally Patten and Coach Ade Dillon of the swimming team hope to repeat the win Law­rence attained over Beloit here earlier this semester, but would like very much to increase the slim margin of victory. Ev Turley should be a breeze in the back stroke as usual, while Gile, Fengler, Haligas, Hanna and Hay should all pick up points.

The wrestlers, coached by Coach Bemie Heseleton and captained by Bill Diver are in the same boat as the swimmers, hoping to increase the margin of their last victory over Beloit Two weights are wide open again. Dusty Rhodes is finding more time from his work and has been practicing with increasing reg­ularity, eyeing the 145 lb. position. Ralph Colvin’s track work sends him to North Central this Saturday, and Lee Minton or Ned Galloway will take over the 165 pound bout

The traveling teams are: swim­mers, Patten, Turley, Haligas, Gile. Hanna, Hay, Fengler, Lundahl. and possibly Eckrich and Smith. Wrest­lers, Lynch, Ziegler, Fetting or Rhodes, Captain Diver, Minton or Galloway, Nolan, and Greenspoon.

Lawrence Campus May Have Diamond Sport This Year

Lawrence college men, long in­

terested in playing baseball, but

withheld because of the short spring

season, may get their chance with

the accelcrated program for year round schooling. The Lawrence athletic department anxious to pro­vide any sport requested, will no doubt get ¿uch an appeal with the first touch of spring.

Lawrence used to have baseball teams in the old days and its sched­ule contained a variety of oppon­ents such as Notre Dame, Clinton- ville, Neillsville, Beloit, and even teams at the old Wisconsin league. Many changes have taken place in 40 years, and it is doubtful wheth­er many college baseball opponents can be found in these days, but the war may bring them out

BY JOHN GREGG

KEN BUESING and Vince Jones, two of Lawrence’s recent

greats in the athletic 'ield, said ihat last Saturday night’s

Coe game was the best basketoall game they’d ever seen. The

older Buesing played in some gieat games himself, and they’ve

both seen professional and U. W. ¿,ames. . . . Coach Denney heard

quite a little favorable comment around town, too. . . . Moss, Con­

nell. and Tschirgi certainly wheeled the o l’ ball down the floor, and

Crossett, M iller, and the younger Buesing put on a real show in

the second half. . . . Many spectators noticed Mr. Denney’s anger

in the last m inute or so; the referee gave the ball to Coe under

our basket without notifying our team, which is reason enough for

anycne to get riled up.• • •

The Wisconsin State Intercollegiate conference consisting of

Beloit, Ripon, Carroll, and Lawrence was disbanded some six years

ago, but Beloit and Carroll have been claiming the “State’* cham­

pionship in basketball ever since. Far their information, Law­

rence had the very mythical “State championship’’ in basketball

all sewed up before the second Ripon game last Monday.0 0 0

Sveto Krcmar, nine letterman at Ripon, graduating last spring,

found time to squeeze in a commission through Ripon's R.O.T.C.

along with his athletics. Well-liked by his opposition in all sports,

he’s proving one of the best-like*' shavetails at Fort Benning, Ga.

this year were suffered by the coaching staff. Athletic Director

Louis Means incurred a broken hand while attempting to imper­

sonate youth on the basketball court, and swim coach Hollie Lep-

ley has the mumps.• • •

The Ripon game Monday night was a real thriller. Mr. Seidel, the boy who scored the first Ripon touchdown against us last fall, dropped In six buckets to keep the game only too interesting for us. . . . Two bus loads of Lawrence students, mostly girls, were down to cheer the team on to its second victory over Ripon this season. Half a dozen fres’iman men hitchhikcd down in the after­noon.

Lighting Effects are Very

Effective in thunder Rock'BY JEANNE FOOTE

“Lights, actors on stage, curtain”

and “Thunder Rock” was the second production of the theater at Law­rence this year. And to use the theater terminology, the production really was on stage.

The lighting effects were stun­ning and most effective. Especially is this to be appreciated when you consider the equipment with which the light crew had to work. Further tribute is due to Roger Sherman and his staff for the setting which had the delicate balance between realism and the unreal which was so essential to the play. In connec­tion with this Charles Gregory characterization of Charleston should be noted. Gregory did a superb job of maintaining that delicate balance between the real and unreal. He was the joining factor between the two worlds pre­sented. He could have played his role as the starring, dominating part; however, he acted more as the balance to the whole play and the mainstay and support of the entire cast. The spirit of the play was maintained in him even while he gave the stage to another actor for

The message which “Thunder Rock” carried came through to shock the audience into the realiza­tion that Charleston met.

Fred Rodgers gave a splendid performance in his first appearance before the college audience as

Briggs. Rodgers' physical and men­

tal appreciation of the character

made him a logical part and bis cockney accent was well perfected. The greatest difficulty with th e roles in this play, especially the members of the Land-o-Lakes sail­ing ship of 1849, was to make them seem like real, living characters without destroying them. Bob Whi­taker made a very convincing Dr. Kurtz despite the difficulty he seemed to encounter with beard and his accent Dot Hooley showed completely the change which Josh­ua pointed out in her character be­tween the first and the second ap­pearance of the phantom characters. Zorabel Gasway handled the rcle of Miss Kirby, the suffragette with fine restraint. Perry Powell had a well-planned interpretation of In­spector Flanning blending sym­pathy and comedy nicely.

George Garman was virile and completely in character and at ease as Streeter. And Bonnie Mad­sen was sweet and charming and pretty as Melanie. Jack Roddy was convincing as Captain Joshua who knew he was dead even while his passengers lived in a dream. Larry Storms, Jerry Brumbaugh, and Alan Koplar did well in minor parts.

An outstanding set good light­ing. and a very well choson cast made this the most outstanding play we have seen in several years on this campus because it present-

Rabbi Shulman Speaks Herein

ConvocationSpeaker Talks on Moral Issues That Confront America in This Age

Last Monday, February 23, Rabbi

Charles E. Shulman of the North

Shore Congregation of Israel, Glen­

coe, Illinois, presented one of the

finest and most pertinent convoca­

tion lecturcs that has been heard

Sn this campus in a long time. Aid d by a facile tongue and a likable Personality, Mr. Shulman put

(cross an impressive message, and

Ccouragingly enough the student dy responded. His subject was a

Jital one, "The Moral Issues Con ronting America," and he stressed

Erticularly that Americans are ¡hting for more than retention of jnatcrial possessions, are fighting

for the independence which makes life worth living, but that they do

Eot realize the basic issues involved 1 the conflictBeginning with the statement in

essence, that "there is nothing new

Sider the sun” Mr. Shulman said at certain propositions are com-

Eon to all ages, but that every age 11s to recognize that fact and so ¡wails its lot as something new.

And this age is no different than |Uxy other. Adults who were youths B t the time of the first World war have had illusions shattered with the coming of the second, but the jrouthw of today must avoid this pitfall. Today, in Europe, condi­tions are deplorable because men have not learned how to apply the principles of religion and philoso­phy to this mechanized age. We are Hiring in a wonderful world, but are we any better for the instru­mentality denied our forefathers?

Outlines Types He outlined three general Amer­

ican types—the "Business as usual hoys" who by their selfishness have defeated the well-being of Amer­ican society, the antiquarians who Would go back to the law of the Jungle or the ways of Fascism and

1933, weaned on tommy-guns artd

pineapples, buried with Chinese

checkers and knock-knocks, save

for a periodic rejuvenation or two. M.G.M. plays God this time, and brings our Frankenstein back in the person of Johny Eager. Johnny Is Robert Taylor, who still looks pretty enough to stuff, acts pre­cocious enough to spank. He is a very amazing mug, this Johnny Eager He looks like — well. I ’ll be darned — Bob Taylor. He dress­es like a page from Esquire, talks like "A Dead End Kid,” makes love with the zest of Neanderthal man. Blame it on the script if you pre­fer. Taylor is at his best when he says the least, and plays his own handsome self.

Lana Turner has that bedroom glint in her eye throughout and contributes her most appreciable moments by opening her beautiful orbs wide and smiling that you- know-what-klnd-of-a smile. I ’m sorry she doesn’t have more to do,

for she’s obviously capable of do­ing it. The only real job of acting in this piece is turned in by Van Heflin, Eager’s perpetually in­ebriated, chain-smoking pal. As needed Jeff, so this picture need­ed Heflin.

Johnny Eager has its share of good minor performances, and more than its quota of yeggs, stools, and warped politicians — not to forget Edward Arnold, and a certain nondescript character who utterly defies definition or classification. He reminds me of Moe.

So much for Moe, and so much for Johnny. Now to sordid things. Such as Don Ameche and Confirm or Deny. And it’s too much, even for me. Don is an American cor­respondent in wartorn Britain. He’s even more pugnacious than our good friend Taylor — believe it or not. He sports a derby hat and malacca cane, browbeats everyone from the British Minister of Infor­mation to the office bulldog, and is always Ameche - on - the - spot when all hell breaks loose. And still this kibitzer in the interna­

tional chess game finds time to

pick up Joan Bennett in an air­

raid shelter. Which is just about the only logical and normal thing

he does do. Although I did regret even this action before the picture had run its wayward and panting pace. Don is ever the ham, and Joan is ever minus the old spark, and never the twain shall meet.

There is lots of suspense and stuff in the closing reels. Just Joan and Don and a time-bomb in a cozy little get-to-gether. Of course the bomb didn’t explode, and everybody knew it wouldn’t. But you can’t blame me for hoping, can you?

the idealists, the modern optimists, who must maintain their democra­tic ideals and try to practice them. If the bulk of Americans are "bus­iness as usual” or "law of the jun­gle” boys, what’s the use of both­ering to win? Our purpose of win­ning would not exist in that case.

But if America is made up of ci­tizens who love liberty and the rights of Independence as express­ed by our forefathers in the De­claration of Independence, then there is some reason for us to fight, and we can and will preserve dem­ocracy. Shulman concluded by re­ferring to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s lectures, "The Times” delivered on the eve of the Civil war and their lashing criticisms of the lack of faith and belief in the greatness of democratic Ideals at that time. In essence Emerson said that liberty, Justice, and the attributes of a dem­ocracy are not Inherited, but must be fought for and recreated in ev­ery generation.
