Secretary Speaks In Chapel Opportunity Offered To Young People In America Is Keynote Opportunity offered to young peo ple in America today was discussed at length and valuable statistics were given by Miss Ethel Watson, secre tary of the League for Industrial Democracy in her talk before Law rence College students in convocation Wednesday morning. Miss Watson raised several objec tions to the issue stating that factory employees charged with mechanical work have little opportunity for indi vidualism. While our warehouse shelves are stocked with goods and our granaries are bursting, streets are filled with ragged and hungry people. Unemployment has brought the present situation and though we do have adequate statistics to show its extent, we are faced with a serious problem in view of the fact that the 1^20-21 depression which had released only 35 per cent of the employees the cost was approximately eight • billion dollars. Miss Watson said. In addition to depression from ov erproduction and bankruptcy the pub lic is faced with technological unem ployment—displacement of man by machinery, the speaker declared. The depiction of the present situa- tu n results in the question of the right of the employers to turn em ployees on the street, and. further, since the majority cannot escape the working class the public must be con cerned with the issue to try to adjust the society which was “smart enough to produce and invent” to be “smart enough to distribute and control". Picnic at High Cliff The Chemistry department held a picnic Thursday afternoon at High Cliff. The Fox River valley theatre for children will present its second play, “Robin Hood," by Owen Davis, on Saturday, May 23. at 2:30 o'clock, at the Lawrence Memorial chapel. On ly one performance is planned for this last play of the season. The play, originally written for adults and a cast entirely with grown ups, still has an irrcsistalde charm for children, too, and should prove an ideal choice for all ages.

GETS CONTRACT TO SING WITH ROYAL OPERA Lucille Meusel, ’24, Former Stu dent Of Dean Waterman Finishes Study in Paris Lucille Meusel of Green Bay, a former voice student of Carl J. Wa terman lias just received a contract to sing with the Royal Opera com pany of Liege, Belgium, for the sea son beginning October, 1931, and clos ing in March 1932. Miss Meusel whose voice is of beau tiful coloratura quality, is a former member of the Chicago Civic Opera, where she made her operatic debut in T annhauser, April 24, 1928. After graduation from the Lawrence College Conservatory of M usic in 1924, she studied with Herbert Witherspoon in Chicago and New York until the time of her first operatic appearance. Studied In Paris Last spring Miss Meusel went to I’aris to study French opera and to become more acquainted with French diction with a view to perfecting her French roles. In March she went with one of her coaches for an audition with a well known operatic impresario who arranged for auditions in Ant werp and Liege. At Liege her sing ing of the “Bell Song" from Delibes’ l.akme, ami arias from the “Barber of Seville" and “LaTraviata" brought her the contract which she accepted, and which provides for ten operatic «n.ii concert perfoi mances each mouth between October and March. Miss Meusel's repertoire which includes fourteen operas is very extensive. She will also learn four new roles before her next season. Prominent Here In undergraduate days at the Law rence conservatory, she majored in piano with Ludolph Arens, taking voice as a minor. She was soloist with the men's glee club during the 1924 season, and is the only woman who has ever been soloist with that organ ization. In 1923 she was the winner of a scholarship to study with Mr. Witherspoon at the summer session of the Chicago Musical College. She also studied with him in New York until he became president of the Chi cago Musical College after which she did two years of post-graduate work with him there. Reporter Gets An Earful , Eyeful As 1932 Yearbooks Are Issued Last Week By Jane Cossmann "Please get in line and don't push,” “No, you belong in the other room”— “You’ve lost your all-college club tic ket?"—“Let me in line, will you"— “What did you do, bring tickets from tie whole fraternity?”—“Well—” These, and many other remarks were heard in the basement of Main hall last Friday afternoon when the 1932 Ariel was issued. Groups of eager readers sat on the steps of Ormsby, and Science hall was crowd ed with freshmen who should have been in laboratory and wanted to read their first Ariel. Unlucky people who hidn't procured their books tried to hang around the outside of the circles and see “so and so's” pictures. "Well thank heaven this Ariel has a theme—one more book without a central idea and I would have given up.” The English professor who made this remark must still be about because the book undoubtedly has a theme. It presents a revue of the year in three acts. “Aren’t the pictures in front beau tiful? If I were a high school senior and saw those I’d come to Lawrence right away.” We suggest this to the administration thinking they might like to have a supplement made. "Oh. there's Bob—lie's so cute—and there's Helen—isn't that a good look ing riding habit—”. The section head ed Lawrence Greeks perhaps attract- j ed the most attention because it really depicts the college students as they are. in all their nonchalance and col legiate glory. “Why look, here I am with an ap ple taffy—and there’s Bill—Oh, here's my room—and remember this run in the homecoming game—". The fea ture section was handled in a totally different way from previous years and from all appearances of present popu larity it should be presented in this manner next year. “What do they mean, ‘More Sus taining Than Meat’, huh—I don’t think the Rental Service should be razzed that way—”. Even the humor section caused comment—agreeable or otherwise. “Sign it here, will you please, and don’t forget to bring it back—my Mother is coming and I want her to sec it—I think it’s a great book—". Holds Annual Banqnet Lawrence Lutheran club will hold its annual banquet at the Mt. Olive church Sunday at 5 p. m. All mem bers are invited. Graduates To Leave Fund As Class Memorial A contribution to the college stu dent loan fund is to be the memorial of the class of ’31 according to the seniors’ vote taken at the meeting of that class after Friday’s convocation. “Exact details of this fund have not yet been worked out, but the loan will probably be for seniors,” said Allan Arthur, head of the memorial commit tee. Students backing this project, which defeated all other suggested propos als, expressed the wish that the loan memorial be carried on by the follow ing graduating classes in order that the sum. this year levied at a dollar per person, be large enough to make it worthwhile.

CHILDREN S THEATER GIVES FINAL PLAY

L.I.D. Secretary Speaks In Chapel

Opportunity Offered To Young People In America Is

KeynoteOpportunity offered to young peo­

ple in America today was discussed at length and valuable statistics were given by Miss Ethel Watson, secre­tary of the League for Industrial Democracy in her talk before Law­rence College students in convocation Wednesday morning.

Miss Watson raised several objec­tions to the issue stating that factory employees charged with mechanical work have little opportunity for indi­vidualism. While our warehouse shelves are stocked with goods and our granaries are bursting, streets are filled with ragged and hungry people.

Unemployment has brought the present situation and though we do have adequate statistics to show its extent, we are faced with a serious problem in view of the fact that the 1^20-21 depression which had released only 35 per cent of the employees the cost was approximately eight • billion dollars. Miss Watson said.

In addition to depression from ov­erproduction and bankruptcy the pub­lic is faced with technological unem­ployment—displacement of man by machinery, the speaker declared.

The depiction of the present situa- tu n results in the question of the right of the employers to turn em­ployees on the street, and. further, since the majority cannot escape the working class the public must be con­cerned with the issue to try to adjust the society which was “smart enough to produce and invent” to be “smart enough to distribute and control".

Picnic at High CliffThe Chemistry department held a

picnic Thursday afternoon at High Cliff.

The Fox River valley theatre for children will present its second play, “Robin Hood," by Owen Davis, on Saturday, May 23. at 2:30 o'clock, at the Lawrence Memorial chapel. On­ly one performance is planned for this last play of the season.

The play, originally written for adults and a cast entirely with grown­ups, still has an irrcsistalde charm for children, too, and should prove an ideal choice for all ages.

PASSING CO M M EN T

LET US SUFFER IN SILENCESilence in times of suffering is the l>est.—Dryden

When Dryden wrote those words he could not have had the slightest intimation that they someday would be used to furnish a college editorial w riter with a plea to his fellow students to be more courteous to convocation speakers. That the indifference and down­right discourtesy to speakers in our convocations has come to a lim­it cannot be denied. Mere lack of attention by sleeping or applica­tion to opened books has been superseded by general conversation and tete-a-tetes in anything but whispers.

Adm itted, some of the speeches which have been given from the chapel platform are of interest to only a few, and some of the speak­ers evidently have fostered false iljusions about their ability to ad­dress a large audience. Added to tha t is the oppressive idea of com­pulsory attendance, so there may be some excuse and reason for our individual occasional lack of attention, but never for open rudeness exemplified in perfectly audible talk among ourselves which has be­come so noticeable lately.

While Miss Watson was talking Wednesday we expected her to cease abruptly at any moment and seorchingly say she wouldn't go on in face of the competition. In her place we would have felt im­pelled to do something of the s o r t ; we would have felt that she was justified in doing it had she. W hether or not it is too conscientious of us, we would have been embarrassed for the whole student body, but there are more who felt the same as we did.

The impression of Lawrence students which Miss W atson or any other speaker foreign to the campus carries away with her must be anything but favorable to the reputation of the college, and that certainly is not desirable. One might expound on the expectations of common courtesy, but that should not be necessary to a group of college men and women. When we enroll we signify our acceptance of compulsory convocation attendance, so the least we can do is bear the suffering of that attendance in silence, if suffering it happens to be . 1

The program w as: vocal selections “Allah” and "Thou Art So Like a Flower,” by Chadwick, sung by Henrietta Faust; vocal selections “To a Hill-Top" by Cox, and "M ay­day Carol" by Deems Taylor sung by Marie Johnson; a piano selection “Deux Polonaises" by Chopin played by Angeline Bonnot.

THE CHAPLIN OF OUB COLLEGE DAYSCollege students are at the age when memories of the silent

motion picture are still vivid. The name of Charles Chaplin was as­sociated with D ad’s dime, a bag of eandv or peanuts, and rolicking laughter with our neighborhood pals. We were young then, and we laughed at Chaplin, the comedian, who made us sit through two shows and have our Mothers frantically search for our whereabouts. When we reached high school age we were perhaps a little too sophis­tic a te d to see the last of the Chaplin comedies—for a Chaplin pic­ture was reminiscent of our early childhood.

Then the advent of the “ talk ies” and the disappearance of the comedian front the screen. Newsreel pictures and newspaper photos showed us the Chaplin of everyday life, walking as you or I, w ith­out a mustache or derby, and with faint streaks of gray hair at the temples and nape of the neck. Then the announcement of “ City L igh ts” , with only sound effects to “ modernize” the production.

We talked to one of our college professors a month or so ago and she told us that she was anxiously aw aiting the showing of “ City L ights” . We were surprised, because we still had that naive impression of the comedian, and especially because she said that “ Chaplin was her favorite screen ac to r.”

A fter seeing “ City L ights” we knew why. The m aster of pan­tomime is this comedian. He is an actor who meets the requirem ents of the artist. He is supreme. W e have seen the m aster through the eyes of men and women, not through the eyes of the small boy who begged Dad for a dime and went with the whole neighborhood down­town to see funny Charlie Chaplin.

W riston Stresses Liberal Education To Woman’s Club

Over-emphasis Upon Specialized Training In Educational Sys­tem Is Criticized.

“The object of education is to a t­tain by means of controlled and di­rected experience, intellectual, aes­thetic, spiritual, and social sensitive­ness, effectiveness, and harmony,” Henry M. Wriston, president of Law­rence College, said in his address at the general session of the Woman’s Club district convention, held in the First M. E. church Tuesday evening. “To learn to see and to feel the is­sues of life, to meet its problems with courage and a firm will, to have wis­dom in action—such is the skill in liv­ing which education should and must impart if it is to be effective.

“To this end the colleges must (1) choose wisely among available candi­dates for admission, admitting only those with aptitude for college stu­dies, (2) teach with full understand­ing that nothing is learned until it results in action, (3) give the student the impulse to go out as a perpetual learner, (4) pay as much attention to his emotional and spiritual life as to his intellectual skills, to the attitudes that make for citizenship. Such is the function of the truly effective college

NETTERS FACE HEAVY PROGRAMMeet Ripon Red Devils This

Afternoon and Beloit Courtmen Tomorrow

Bulletin—Varsity tennis coach F. Clippinger announced late yesterday afternoon that a return match with Central State Teacher’s College would be held at Stevens Point tomorrow afternoon.

The Lawrence College tennis squad, with two straight match wins tucked away, will have a heavy schedule this week end when it meets Ripon and Beloit in a pair of conference com­bats. This afternoon the Vikes will concentrate on the Redmen, who are reputed to have as strong a squad as has represented Ripon on the courts for a number of years.

The Vikings have been held with­out practice several days this week because of the whims of Old Man Weather, and it will be some what of a gamble to choose a combination for play this afternoon. The doubles sit­uation is still bothering the Vikings and it would not be surprising to see a new set of men slashing things at Ripon this afternoon.

Beloit StrongBeloit brings a powerful singles’

lineup to Appleton tomorrow, a squad that is expected to give the Law­rence aggregation stiffer competition than has been met since April. It is probable that Coach F. W. Clippin­ger will throw his greatest strength against the state-liners, which means that Strange. Barnes, Fierce, Negres- cou, and Klausner will all see heavy action.

The Barnes-Negrescou doubles com­bination which has been working at number one for two weeks will proba­bly carry on in that spot tomorrow, with Strange and Klausner up to bat as number two. Aside from this, nothing definite is known of the starting lineup for the Blue and White.

The matches will start at 2 :30 on the campus courts, with Jack Willem and his assistants calling the ins and outs from the tall white towers.

Coach Clippinger requests that the spectators stand a reasonable dis­tance from the court to allow the players ample space.

SIGN FOR ALL CAMPUS GOLF TOURNAMENT

All persons wishing to enter the all campus golf tournament to be played at the municipal course must sign up with A. C. Denney, athletic director, not later than ( :H o’clock Monday evening, ac­cording to announcement made yesterday by Coach Denney. Pair­ings will be made Tuesday and placed on the bulletin board at the gym.

Dickson, on the mound for the losers, had his fast ball working to perfection in the first five frames, but going into the sixth his support blew sky-high with five errors and the Sig Eps salted the game away with a pair of tallies in the sixth and three in the seventh.

Hesselgrave twirled superb ball for the College avenue men, and bore down in the pinches to squelch more than one Delta Sig threat. Dickson had the best of the duel in the m at­ter of strikeouts, but his mates failed to afford him good support in the closing innings.

BELOIT FIRST BIG FOUR TEAM TO MEET VIKES

Downstaters Bring Strongest Squad In Years; Porter-Mar-

ston Dual, Highlight

PEN1NG the Big Four track cam­paign against Be­loit’s well-balanced squad tomorrow afternoon at W ait­ing field, the Vik­ing hopefuls meet their first really stiff competition of the year. The state

liners are bringing an imposing array of stars to Appleton in a determined effort to crush the championship as­pirations of the Denneymen.

Although they failed to place in the state meet at Madison two weeks ago, the Gold squad has been pushed through intensive drills priming for the Vikings. Fully aware of the fact that Lawrence has not lost a dual meet on Whiting field in four years, the rest of the Big Four schools would fie more than glad of an op­portunity to turn the trick.

When Beloit does show up tomor­row it will have in the lineup a few gentlemen of talent well known to followers of state track competition. “Dud" Porter will battle it out with Marston in the hurdles, and if ad­vance dope from the enemy camp means anything it looks as though the Lawrence flash will be in for a fast afternoon.

Good Dash Material

Glover in the half mile is looked on as another sure point winner for the down-state representatives, while his team mate in the distance jaunts, l.eeson, is looked upon as a miler of no mean ability. In the dashes, Be­loit is counting heavily on the individ­ual effort of Nash to garner a fat share of points. Fisclil and Eich- meyer will be the Yike mainstays in the dashes again.

Aldrich, star Yike hurdler, is still on the ineligibility list. This means that Marston will have to carry the hurdling and high jump burdens for the afternoon.

Beloit papers have compared the performances of Porter with the an­tics of Sentman, Illinois speedbov, and have looked for him to repeat his last year’s sparkling performances. Marston, with four first places tucked away last week against Oshkosh, is 1 iu fine shape to challenge Porter’s hurdling supremacy tomorrow after­noon.

The meet will start at 2:30 and an enthusiastic crowd of Yike suppor­ters is expected to give the Blue and White a send off in the initial Big Four appearance. ATHLETE

The dashes are well handled for Es- catiaha by Captain Burns and Bailler- geon. The latter is an all-round ath­lete, having captained both the foot­ball and basketball teams during the past year. Dobbs, Fahres, Grant, and Corrigan will take care of the dash events for the frosh. Escanaba also boasts some strong distant material. Elizondo, the diminutive boy from Mexico, is the best bet for the frosh in the mile run.

Vaillencourt is back atter being out all week with a sprained arm and is almost certain to win the shot put. Calhoun, Foote, and Ball in the high jump, Jacobson and Foote in the pole vault, and Reeve in the middle dis­tances are other men who are expect­ed to score for the frosh.

Specialization Is Doomed, According To President

(Continued from Page 2) extra vocational. Success in one with­out success in the other results in a dualism which ultimately destroys.”

The over-emphasis upon specialized training in the educational system come in for severe criticism by Presi­dent W’riston.

“ Many of the tragic events in our national life are traceable to the kind of training our leaders have received.

Educators responsible for training youth have reasoned that if one is to be competent in a particular voca­tion one’s education must point in that direction. But in following this theory, they disprove it in supposing that mere vocational or professional training will fit one to be even a tol­erable citizen, or a good husband and father.”
