Bill Riggins Again Earns Extra Eleven O'docks for Coeds

Bill Riggins, the Phi Delt house Stamp salesman, sold an amount of $76.25 in bonds and stamps. This amount will again entitle eleven O’clocks to the girls dating the Phi Delt House fellows. It seems that Bill is doing an all-out job in sell­ing bonds and stamps.

With V-E Day here it should be the feeling of everyone to be more patriotic than ever. The 7th W tr Loan Drive begins May 14, whicn is next Monday, and if everyone sets a definite amount of money to be put aside for stamps or bonds at that time, the Lawrence drive will have a grand beginning. The War Loan Drive continues through June 30, so everyone has an opportunity to put forth a little more effort and make the buyirig of bonds and Stamps a necessity during the drive.

Liberal Arts Course To be Taught by Department Heads

Appleton, Wisconsin, May 8—Id

line with the shift from the special­ized training required by the Navy V-12 program to a more liberal plan of study is the announcement made today by President Nathan M. Pusey of a new course In the Hu- manities to be incorporated into the Lawrence College curriculum next September. The course will be similar to a highly successful academic project which Dr. Pusey was instrumental in developing at Wesleyan University in Connects cut before he came to Lawrence.

The course, which will be re« quired of all freshmen in place of the traditional English classes in contemporary writing, will be known as “Freshman Studies,” and will include exploratory work in all the arts.

Aims of the program as outlined by President Pusey are “To intro» duce the student, through the study of a small number of books of ma­jor importance, to the four great human enterprises—science, phil­osophy. art, and religion; to ac­quaint the student with the nature of a college of liberal arts, and es« pecially with the program, depart­mental structure, and teaching personnel of Lawrence; to encour­age a more active student partici­pation in the learning process; and to emphasize the discussion of ideas rather than the acquisition of Information.”

Manner of presentation will dif­fer radically from the usual class procedure. Once a week throughout the year the freshmen will meet as a unit for a series of lectures by speakers who will include the heads of the departments on the campus, other prominent members r the faculty, and occasionally dis« tinguished guests. The students will further meet in groups of 15 twice a week, rotating teachers every six weeks, tw discussion of the books read in tne course. All instruction in the small classes will be done by senior members of the staff, which departs from the usual pro­cedure in assigning those of lessee rank to new students. In addition to the class periods, each student will be required to spend an after* noon a week in some kind of art work.

Among those professors who will supervise the creative laboratories will be Warren Beck, winner of the Friends of Midwestern Authors award for his novel “Final Score,” Tom Dietrich, Midwestern artist who has exhibited widely and won several Chicago and Milwaukee purchase prizes. Carl J. Waterman, dean of the conservatory of music, and director of the Lawrence choir, and Edwin W. Schoenbei ger. asso« ciate professor of speech.

The Editor SpeaksIN THE WAKE OF V-E DAY

Millions of words have been written since Monday, M ay 7, about the German surrender in Europe. We do not pretend to be able to add onything new to this subject so close to all of us. The terrible loss of life which was necessary to accomplish this end should not be made commonplace by trite over-discus­sion.

W e are glad to report thot reception of the news of surrend­er was received with proper gravity by students of Lawrence college and people of Appleton, contrasting to the hilarious joy exhibited in Times Square in New York. The same reaction as would be accorded a successful football game is hardly an appropriate way of commemorating the lives of millions wh6 endured every sort of mental and physical suffering that we civilians might stay home in comfort. This was forcibly de­monstrated in listening to radio reports on Monday morning when the news was as yet unofficial. Immediately after a long excited recounting of the jubilant proceedings in New York, the radio audience was switched to Guam, from which place the weary voice of a commentator spoke for possibly two minutes, half apologizing for his lack of enthusiqsm because "planes carrying wounded from Okinawa were landing stead­ily outside." No, the war is not yet won, and it isn't quite time to take thot day off from school which so many of the stu­dent body saw fit to demand.

Cigarette-Rolling Blues Produce Tobacco Pledge

The Inner SanctumBY H. C. HOMER

Once upon a time a boy named Alvin was born. Alvin was a beautiful baby and was the image of his Mama. When Alvin was four years old he spoke his first coherent word. He was out in »he back yard one day throwing a baby kitten around by its tail. His Mama saw him through the kitchen window and asked him what he was doing that for. Alvii} didn’t answer. His Mama worried about him constantly because he hadn’t uttered a sound since the day he was born. He hadn't even cried.

“Alvin,” his Mama said, “are you trying to kill that poor kitten?”'‘Yep,” said Alvin, and his mother’s worries were dispelled. Alvin dis-

patched the baby kitten by slamming it against the big black oak in his back yard. Then he said, “Yep,” and went to play in his tree hut.

After a time Alvin went to school and was an excellent student. One day on his way home from school he saw one of his schoolmates get run over by a moving van and fatally killed. Alvin looked at the mess in the street for half an hour or so. Then he said “Yep,” and went to the drug store for a banana split.

At prep school Alvin maintained his brilliant record and when he grad* uated he received the award for being the best boy in school. After the headmaster had presented Alvin with the trophy emblematic of his tri­umph, Alvin went to his room. There he packed his bags and, gave the trophy to his roommate. When his roommate asked him if he was going home, Alvin said “Yep,” and went out to shoot robins with his shotgun.

After he'had been home for a while Alvin fell in love with a beautiful girl from a nearby town and married her. On their wedding trip they witnessed a terrible auto accident on the highway and Alvin stopped and got out of his car to see if there was any blood.

“Isn’t it awful?” said his wife, covering her eyes.’•Yep,” said Alvin, and he dabbled his fingers in the blood on the roa<L

j One day, a little while after he got married, Alvin and his wife were a t Alvin’s Mama’s house for supper. While Alvin’s Mama was plugging In the automatic toaster she was electrocuted.

“Is she dead?” asked Alvin’s wife.“Yep,” said Alvin. Then he pulled the plug from the socket and to6k h it wife to a burlesque show.

After he had been married for quite a few years Alvin decided that he wanted either a dog or a baby. He decided on a dog. He got a big setter and proceeded to teach it how to hunt. One day the dog refused to fetch so Alvin got an axe and killed i t

“He was such a nice dog," said Alvin’s wife.“Yep,” said Alvin, and he went in the house to wash the blood off his axe.Alvin died suddenly several days after he had killed his dog. He had

had a heart attack when he cut himself peeling potatoes. Everyone waf sad at Alvin’s death. They went over to see Alvin’s wife the day before the funeral and tell her how badly they felt.

“Alvin’s untimely death is so sad,” said one of the neighbors.“Yep,” said Alvin’s wife, and then she got a date with the ice man and

went to the wrestling matches.

BY RUTH COLLINSA merchant seaman friend of

ours recently went AWOL from La Havre to Paris—hitch-hiked with an t ir corps Major with a jeep and u bottle of good cognac—to buy a gift fo r his girl in Chicago. He saw Paris i nd came away with a rare bottle of champagne of an excellent vin­tage and a bottle of Christmas Night l*rfum e that cost him the Ameri* ran equivalent of $25 an ounce. When he got to Chicago bearing lits gifts, he called this gal he hadn't seen in nearly a year and said, 'i 'v e got a bottle of Blank »hampagne and three ounces of Christmas Night for you, honey.”

“Oh, I’m so happy you’re back,” »-he crooned into her end of the ime. “Got any weeds?”

"Yeah, I’ve got three cartons,” he told her, his morale shaken.

Maybe that little item isn’t as internationally important as the «onfercnce at Yalta, but it does show a trend and there are a lot of us on the girl's side.

I started down College Avenue this afternoon to look for a pack of weeds. Started with Krambo's and hit every grocery store, drug »tore, hamburger joint, and saloon between the Masonic Temple and the Chicago Northwestern tracks. Went down on the south side and canie back on the north. After try ­ing the Coney Island and Bill’s, 1 « rossed back to Krambo’s again and ro t in just before closing.

"A . . . just give me one of those bags with the strirg and rtpack of Ijapers. And do you have any direc­tion?” I asked the clerk, leaning ) cavily on the counter.

"Nothin’ to it,” she told me and we transacted our business.

Right after dinner I came to my room here, took out *he bog and the package of papers. Let’s see, I ically need a horse. That’s the way Ihey do it in the movies, ricing «’own some trail. Too tired to walk « ut to the riding academy; don’t 1 now any farmers; they’d probably frown on any horses I tried to bring into the dorm anyway. Sit astride of a chair, I guess. Maybe tie my housecoat belt to the chair back for reins.

Now. select a paper, shake in a little tobacco, pull the bag shut

with my teeth and leave the bag dangling from my mouth. Now roll! “Riding’ down that old Trail. . .** No, drop that housecoat belt and use both hands. That’s odd. Cow* boys never have to twist the pa* per at both ends. No ventilation that way.

Here, empty the tobacco into a fresh paper and get down on the floor with it. Use both hands. And oil! Lick the edge. Press it shut

with the chin. Wonder how I can get my fingers out of both ends without pulling it apart?

Can't!Well, now tee here, aren't you

being a little ridiculous? Tobacco all over the floor, fingers stained, breath repugnant. Isn’t it really a filthy habit? But of course, this is just the chance I’ve been waiting for. Gonna write it up right now and have it framed for everyone to see. Nothing wishy-washy about me. Get it in writing.

“I, the undersigned, do hereby solemnly swear on my family hon­or to refrain from using tobacco in any form whatsoever, for ever and ever.”

'Signed) .................Well, maybe cross out the ‘for

ever and ever’. And now before I sign my name and while the ink is cooling I think I’ll go through the wastepaper basket just once more. I may have overlooked something interesting.

Did You Know?To prepare for a winter campaign

in Germany, the Army conducted extensive tests in northern Canada.

Students in Canadian univer­sities—both English-speaking and French-speaking—have given $15,- 000 for the war relief of their fel- low-students of other countries. This represents a great deal more per capita than the giving of Amer­ican students.

C h ic a g o — The first integrated course in aviation by medicine ;jiv- en by a college of medicine in this country is now being offered by the College of Medicine at the Univer­sity of Illinois to students in the fourth year class.

Sig Ep hats are off to “Dutch” Conder! Under Dutch’s capable di­rection the frat members and their dates were very suitably wined, dined, and danced last Saturday night. With an eye to an enjoyable evening, the Sig Eps met at the Guest House and partook of a deli* cious dinner. After a short recess, and the usual wait for transporta­tion, the Sig Ep vanguard moved to Alexander to complete the evening at the inter-fraternity ball.

The pesky pledges have now come under the guidance of Don P a l m e r . Recommendations for pledges being transferred were dis­cussed. A date for a final fraternity get-together was left open as plans for activities to conclude the sem­ester were discussed.

So Ihey SayV-E Day has come and gone With

it has come much joy, and much sorrow will continue to be left in its wake. Already some people are beginning to feel complacent in the fact that the European battle is over. Already some thoughts are turning to far more pleasant topics than what to do with the millions of soldiers, political and military leaders and the other war criminals we have captured.

The other night I visited one of the local movie houses where pic­tures were being shown of the va­rious atrocities committed in the in­ternment and concentration camps inside Germany. The film demon­strated that even the civilian popu­lation of the Reich was shocked beyond belief. Even the Germans who had commanded these hell­holes refused to re-enter them when they were confronted with the nau­seous evidence of their crimes. As for the toughest of our dough boys, one could easily see that they had become physically ill at the sight of the rotting and burned flesh. Here at home some people walked out of the theater, refusing to look at the pictures of men who had died hor­ribly that these same people might live happily. One magazine editor said “Dead men have died in vain if living men refuse to look at them.” Personally. I think that peo­ple on the home front might at least have the intestinal fortitude to look at these pictures long enough so that they will never for­get what the enemy was once cap­able of and will govern their peace plans accordingly.

Among the many letters that were written to the editors of news­papers and periodicals last week was one that was never sent. I am passing it on in part in hopes that you will really take it for what it is worth.“Dear Editor,

I was both shocked and grieved to read some of the letters that you published concerning the pictures of the dead and dying inside Ger­many. The people who wrote these letters protesting the publication of such pictures really do not know what kind of peace we must have.I have given up three of the four things that I held most dear in this earth in the hope that their supreme sacrifice was not in vain, and then I find people who refuse to look at the evidence at hand and are al* ready beginning to advocate the "leave them alone, they’re licked” policy.

^ VPORTLEBUTT~jIf one were to go back four or five years into Ed Abell’s life it would

not be hard to see why he has the opinion of Oshkosh that he has. To begin with let us go back to Ed's childhood.

Ever since he was three years old Eddie's parents have had a cottage on Fox Creek, a little stream where he could swim and play all day without the fear of his drowning because the water was only a foot deep. Little Eddie used to go minnow fishing there all the time, and when after 10 hours of fishing he had caught two or three shiners he would run for home thoroughly thrilled.

It was here that 1 first saw Eddie Abell. I had come down on the ad« vice of a friend who told me that I could get excellent bait from the Fox creek area and I had by chance hit upon the Abell minnow stand. I found that Abell's minnows which measured 1} in. were Just right for the fish I was after and I repeated my calls many times thereafter. I got to knew young Edward quite well, so well in fact that he accepted an invitation of mine to go fishing on Lake Winnebago.

It was a warm summer day when we arrived at one of my favorite haunts off the shore of Winnebago just four miles north of Oshkosh and also the site of the Wisconsin State Hospital for the Insane. It wasn't long before most of our party had their limit of well sized pike, but young Abell found the habits of the fish in so large a lake quite different than those in the little creek into which he threw his line and as a result he had not even had a nibble. Just as we were about to give up we heard a scream from Abe, by the sound of it we thought he had a whale on. After a trying fight in which the fish almost bettered him he finally suc­ceeded in landing him, a whopper all of 13 inches. To us this was musky bait, but to young Edward Abell this represented the zenith in fish.

We had quite a time controlling him from there on in. He went into a tantrum which is quite typical of all creek fishermen. So bad was this tant­rum that it aroused the suspicion of the “Nuthouse” caretaker. He thought that perhaps one of his pets had in someway got loose. We tried our best to dissuade the caretaker that he was not really mad but it was of no avail. Young Edward Abell was marched off. They kept Eddie there for two whole days before they were thoroughly convinced of his sanity.

To this day Edward Abell refuses to spend any time in or near Oshkosh lor the fear that they may change their mind about him, and he persists to casting about bad remarks, all of which are entirely fictitious.

Just what the end of the war in Europe will mean to the world of sports it still not quite clear, but all indications point to an increase in sports activity. The possibility that the ban on horse racing will be lifted is quite frobable, although there has been no official report. This may mean that the Kentucky Derby will be run after all. Colonel Matt Winn has been keeping his fingers crossed in anticipation of the ban being lifted.

One phase of the Selective Service program which has received wide­spread attention is the claim that professional athletes are not being given a fair chance in their inductions. Claims have been made that some men have been accepted who are not physically fit for service, just because they are athletes. This is not at all fair and the Selective Service boards are now being informed that unless the man is up to standards required for service they are to be turned down, professional athlete or n o t

Using explosives, the Army has developed a method of sinking telegraph poles in loose sand with­out digging a hole.

MAIN FLOOR — Pictured above ore the plans for the first floor of Lawrence's future student union to be constructed after the war.

Final Plans Disclosed For New Student Union

The plans for Lawrence’s new stu­dent union building are near final approval and the Centennial Fund Committees have given an encour­aging report on the drive for funds with which the building is to be built It will give future Lawren- tians one of the finest buildings of its kind anywhere in the middle- west

The plan for the building calls for the linking of the observatory in rebuilt form to the present little gym. The building will be large enough for the biggest all-college functions and the women’s gym will be completely renovated and re­decorated. The present ceiling in the gym will be changed by build­ing a ceiling just underneath the big rafters. The resulting room will be used as a ballroom and banquet hall, directly connected to the lounge and recreation rooms. In the basement beneath the remodel­ed gym will be the locker and stor­age rooms as they are at present

In the basement of the new part of the building there will be con­tained a soda fountain, full-sized grill, card room, and a kitchen big enough to accomodate large crowds. Leading out from the lower story will be a terrace open to the river and supplied with umbrella tables and chairs* Also in the basement rooms will be a large game and card room, check room, powder rooms and Lavatories.

The main floor of the new sec­tion will have a targe main lounge furnished in gay colors with big, comfortable furniture. There will

be a small library-type room for quiet, leisurely reading and writing. The observatory tower, with a stairway to the catwalk balcony will be used as a traditional “flir­tation walk.” Also contained in the tower will be a memorial room con­taining plaques and an eternal light to the war dead of Lawrence.

The second floor o f the new part will be devoted to conference rooms for student activities of various kinds. There will be a mezzanine around three sides of the main lounge, which will be two stories high. More details and pictures of the new Union will be published in the near future as plans are com­pleted. This building will indeed

Vikings to Face Strong Group In Track Meet

The Lawrence College track team will invade Milwaukee to tangle with the Milwaukee State Teachers in a dual meet, Saturday afternoon.

Other teachers to watch are: Hobena, who runs the dis­tances; Brockman, who runs the hurdles; Shepherd, a pole vaulter of great renown; and Grosse in the broad jump.

The Denney men will rely upon Don White, Larry Clark, Dick Flom, Waldemar Karkow, Joe Moriarity, Johnny Gearns, Hal Luedeman, Johnny Dobson, Larry MacDonald. Fred Thatcher, Bill Sawtelle, Hank Gillespie, Dick Bartelme. Dale Nelson, Howard Mitchell, Jim Krejci, and Phil Clark.
