Male members of the homecoming Committee will be at the entrance Of the theater to prevent outsiders from crashing. The manager has placed no bann on noise, but asks the students to be careful of theater property. More cheering and the announcing of the costume winners will take place between features.
Orchestra to Play for Dance
Steve Swedish, whose band will play at the homecoming dance tomorrow night, will be making his first appearance on this campus. Several attempts have been made in the past to secure the band, but Swedish has been unable to uccept becuse of previous commitments.
The Swedish band is a favorite in Milwaukee. It has been featured at the Modernistic ballroom from Decoration day to Labor day for the past five years, playing opposite such nationally famous bands as Benny Goodman. Shep Fields. Kay Kvser. Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington. The band has also become well known at the Hotel Schroedcr in Milwaukee.
Maureen SingsThe featured vocalist, Maureen,
has been with Swedish for four years and is a great 'favorite. Four male voices. "The upstarts”, are often featured with her in interesting vocal arrangements.
Swedish will present a program of sweet music with swing arrangements for those who appreciate “jive".
The Alexander Gymnasium will be decorated with the popular Den- go caricatures for the occasion, and the social committee mysteriously promises other special surprise attractions.
Hold Pep SessionConvocation Thursday was a pep
session led by our pep chairman, Marguerite Schumann. The “Gay Nineties” was its theme. Suitable atmosphere was created by a band composed of some of Maury Bleick’s boys and others.
Lawrence Chooses
Homecoming QueenLawrence college students voted
Thursday morning for a homecoming queen. She was chosen from among the girUs in college, and her identity will be kept a secret until the homecoming dance tomorrow night at Alexander gymnasium.

Don't Look Now, but Greeks Are Busy Preparing FloatsBy Jeanne Burke
It’s another scoop! Another pre
view! Another advance - news
story! By your Lawrentian report
er, of course, this time giving you
a peep into fraternity homecoming
decorations and floats.
The Phi Delts promise a pledge
concealed in their float, one large hayrack, an oak board 12 feet long, 1 foot wide. 1 inch thick, and 12 yards of muslin. Perfectly clear, what?
The Delt pledges will play an important part in their float— they’re searching frantically for lots of paper. I ’m told. There’ll be a horse and wagon and, according to chairman Milton Promer, the best effect will be produced at night. Why Milt!
Your reporter met with no success in trying to scoop the Phi Tau’s float. It’s being shrouded in secrecy, the plans guarded constantly by groups of pledges, each on an eight hour shift. Be prepared for anything!
The Sig Ep pledges are pursuing (among other things) a sub chaser idea for the house decoration. They'll also be pulling the float wagon to cut down the expense of renting and feeding a horse. Actives are going to ’‘Keep ’Em Frying" and “Char-Coe from the Fire” . . . !*ffi (**!
And an advance Beta Blurb from Leroy Zick tells us, quote, “In line with the moral standards of Lawrence, the house decorations will be good to the last drop. The float will undoubtedly raise quite a stink." Unquote.

state opponent since the opener two
years ago and this present squad
does not intend to interrupt that record.
The Kohawks. looking like a soft
touch early in the season, uncorked an offense last Saturday that had everything with the result that league-leading Cornell was beaten. Coe came from behind (they ran exactly two plays during the entire first half) and with a deceptive attack off the T formation took command of the game the entire second period. Three sophomores

Teach Courses In First Aid
Girls Take Courses
In Home Nursing and
First Aid in Main Hall
The lists of those desiring to take
first aid and home nursing have
grown rapidly. At the present rate,
there will probably be two or three classes in first aid with 25 in a class, and one or two classes in home nursing with 20 in a class, a class.
There is only one requirement: girls must be 18 before the expira- tion of the course. Who will not have reached 18 before that time can not enter.
Classes MeetThe classes in first aid will meet
in Main hall on the night for which the greatest number of girls sign. As the course in home nursing requires' equipment, the place will be selected later. Girls in both classes must purchase texts which cost 60 cents. 'Riose taking first aid must also buy bandages.
The course in first aid requires two hours a week lor ten weeks or a total of twenty hours. Home nursing requires twenty four hours. Certificates, not credit, will be granted in both courses.

Union Announces New Closing Hour
The Hamar union has definitely
turned into a mystery house during
the last few weeks—the mystery
being—when t h a t all-important
window is open. It gets very disap«
pointing to tear over there for a coke and a smoke only to find that
the window is boarded. The ele
ment of chance or the gambling
spirit does not help in this game
of being at the union when th e
window is open, but one tires oi
never winning the game.
The latest news—hot off the wire, is that the union hours really are from 9 a. m. to 1:30 p. m., from 3 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. and 7:30 to 11 at night. This should clear up this puzzle, at least until there is another program change. The union Is also closed on the nights of allcollege dances. Too bad, boys, but it looks like you’ll have to splurge after the homecoming dance some other place than the union.
Sneak of the week: The person who has been taking the union cards, especially the 25c decks.

I t ’s finally here, one of the biggest weekends of the year. Alums will be back in droves, comparing Lawrence, w ar year 1942, w ith the Lawrence of their undergraduate days. Our football prowess will be more importan t than any other time in the season. The freshmen will be an integral part of the festivities w ith the torchlight parade and the construction of floats up to them.
Theta float ideas are being kept strictly secret by Sis Koch and other Theta pledges while Peg Geiger is stamp salesman. The new pledge officers are Jean Scheible, president; Mary Ann Prescott, secretary; and Peggy Anderson, treasurer.
Initiation in the Pi Phi rooms Wednesday night made new actives of Jean Kiewig and Mary Carol Pick. Congratulations, girls! Celebration w as in the form of a “cookie shine" afterw ards at the home of an alum. Jackie Gerding is float chairm an and Betty Elwers is selling the defense Stamps.
The A. D. Pis are hoping that the ir picnic for little sisters at Telu- lah pa rk -n ex t Tuesday will be as successful as last week’s Backwards party for all the charm in’ co-eds.F rannie Lattin and Shirley Fox have their heads together float* planning, and Bess Healy is collecting A. D. Pi dimes and quarters for Uncle Sam as the sorority’s Victory Belle.
Pledge OfficersAlpha Chi pledge officers are
Jeanne Andre, president; Ruth Mul- finger. vice president; Phyllis Berry , secretary; and Joan McEachren, treasurer. Now that the rooms are repainted and fresh-looking. Alpha Chis are working like mad. making th e gay chintz drape9 for the fin ishing touches.
The D. G. pledges are hard at work on their float which is under the direction of C harline Juergens.The sale of defense stamps to individual members of the sorority is in the hands of Jean Rauschenberger.They are excited about next weekend too. The Appleton alums have invited them to a Hallowe’en party a week from tom orrow afternoon a t the Congregational church parlors.
Celebrating Founder’s day today, th e K. D.s will banquet at Sage. The only reason why M uriel Braaten is Whistling the dot, dot. dash melody Is that she is the girl w ith the Stamps. Doris Winneman is strangely silent these days. It must be she Who is doing all the planning for the float. After the game tomorrow, the K. D.s will hold open house in th e ir rooms.
Gala ReceptionDean W aterm an’s studio was the
scene of a gala reception last night given for Helen Jepson by the SAIs.Miss Jepson is an honorary member of the sorority. M arguerite Brown is boasting the new title of victory chairman. Yes, she has stamps, too.
Independent girls are now' organized under the presidency of Zori Gasway w ith Phyllis Herold as secretary . Their first job is to decora te the union for homecoming, and a committee consisting of Lucille Dixon, M ildred Kassler and Phyllis Herold is working hard. Among plans for the fu ture is a big and little sister arrangem ent sim ilar to th a t of the sororities, and a tea.
This is getting to be a habit. Matt Pahle won the Phi Delt bingo tournam ent again, this time capturing a shiny Jun ior G-Man badge. The song practises have a new reason for existing this year. The lucky girl who gets a Phi Delt pin may also anticipate a serenade. Dick Nelson has been looking preoccupied lately.Probably because he has the float to look after.
Varsity OutingBeta girls, note: That fratern ity’s
“varsity outings" will begin soon.Bill Leverenz and o ther diamond- loving freshmen are keeping a secre t which we’ll all know Saturday morning. The corresponding Delt

New Delt actives since Monday night are Bill Burton, Garv Blick, Joe Greco, John Dyer, Jim Steward and John Wadd. Miss Wollaeger was a dinner guest Tuesday night.
The Sig Eps are still trying to figure out how many there were in Tom Hanson’s car at the picnic last Sunday. Mr. Close was entertained at dinner at the Sig Ep mansion last week. Bob Rohroff and Bill Hahn are hard at work on the float.
The Phi Taus are looking forward to their traditional homecoming banquet tom orrow night at the Copper Kettle. Sunday noon will also be a gala occasion, the annual alum banquet. Jack Kelly is in charge of the float.

Anderson Talks
On Education
In World TodayEmphasizes Value of Liberal Arts Course In Modern Colleges
Dean Paul R. Anderson gave the second of his series of talks on the value of education in the world to day, and its relation to students at Lawrence last Monday. He limited his discussion to the objective sought.
“As a college of liberal arts, Lawrence's functiop is to emphasize the study of the physical and social environment of man, the thoughts and achievements of the human race, and through this to develop well integrated personalities, in terms of physical well-being, independent thought, discriminating aesthetic perception, effective expression, and social responsibility in a democracy,” the dean stressed.
Well-BeingThis means Lawrence looks to
the well-being of each of its students as (1) an individual, and (2) in regards to his later participation in the family, community and the state. Concerning his development as an individual, his scope is widened in two directions: (1) his vocational life, and (2) his use of leisure time, and his part in family, civic, and social affairs.
College is a gradual process by which one becomes a w ell-rounded individual. Not only one's mind, but one’s personality grows. There is no shortcut possible to this u ltimate achievement. It takes four years of hard work and application of one’s every talent. To fu rther this aim. Lawrence has included physical education, an A rtist Series, an A Cappella choir, d ramatics, a school paper in its extra curricular activities.
Lawrence is not alone in its effort, nor is it to be considered as a perfect example, but it gives its students a fine chance. If we take the advantages it offers us we will be well rewarded.
Vespers SundayVespers will be held again this
Sunday at 6:15 in the Chapel.
Lawrentian StaffAll students interested in
proof-reading or copy-reading for The Lawrentian editorial staff for issue of Friday, Oct. 30 are asked to report to room 11, Main Hall at 4:30 Monday afte rnoon. Reporters will receive assignments for that week at the same meeting.

sew ed up. All they have to do is go th rough th e m ere fo rm ality of playing th rough 60 m inutes of any k ind of foo tball w ith th ree Jowly opponents. I t ’s all in the bag according to som e people.
T his is all a lo t of tom m y rot! Too m any cham pionsh ips are lost every y ear because th e title w as supposedly w on tw o w eeks befo re the season w as over. This y e a r’s team has still a very to u g h road to trave l, and each w eek it is going to be to ugher b e cause those lowly opponents are ju s t going to be aching to knock L aw rence off th e map.
Now don t get the w rong pictu re . T he L aw rence V ikings do h av e th*- ab ility for w inning a ll the re s t of th e ir gam es, b u t they w 'II have to show m ore and m ore of th a t ab ility as the season goes on. for it w ill get tougher and tougher. It is going to be like a jo t ' w here everyone is going to have to do his assignm ent and do it well. I t is going to m ean w ork , w ork, and m ore w ork. T h a t cham pionsh ip can never be won by s ittin g back and resting .
Now, w here do th e specta to rs com e in? T h e ir job is to cu t o ti' calling th e fellow s cham pions, and instead of doing th is, en - courage the team by le tting them know th a t they have done a fine jo b so fa r and th a t they should keep on w ork ing and try in g ju s t as hard and even h a rd e r.

Dirty-Shirt Is Praying for A Dry Homecoming W e ek en d
D irty-shirt Lenski developed a terrific case of "draftitis” hist fall •bou t this time.—No sir, it was not a premonition of the w ar.—It was pretty near a R ood old case of grip, Which he got from wearing that flight shirt of his down College avenue in the pouring rain. The wind Was blowin’ hard, and, well, you know the rest, "w ith the wind and th e rain in his,” and so on, he Caught cold.
That was ’41 homecoming. A tough game of football and the high tim e lie had ¡it the dance probably helped him on the grip deal. But last year has nothing to do w ith how he got the name of “D irty Bhiit.” That hit's back to '40 when
Homecoming was really complete with fair w eather and Lawrence's raft blazing away on the Fox. Dirty was so excited he fell flat on his face and rolled down the mud bank. Almost got more than the tail of that same nightshirt w et—but he wore it wet and muddy the rest of the night anyhow.
Lately Dirty has been getting cautious, so htj’s ordered a pair of red-flannel P .j.'s for this Homecoming parade to replace the breezy old nighty. This year he says he resolves to stay dry and draftless for the whole weekend (which is some resolution) and once more he says tha t w ith a little cooperation we’ll put Coe out of operation. And Dirty is almost always right.
At the
I ConservatoryBY DAYTON GRAFMAN
MRS. GERTRUDE CLAVER, piano instructor a t the Lawrence Conservatory of Mu
sic, presented a piano recital before a large audience gathered in the conservatory Monday evening. October 19.
Her program included: Sonata Op. Kla by Beethoven; Ballade in A flat Major, the exquisite Fan- taisie Im promptu and four Etudes by Chopin; The LiUle White Donkey by Ibert; Three Fantastic Dances by Shostakovich; Naeht- s*u°k and lag tim e by Hindemith; and Alborado del Graeioso, the lovely, liquid Un Barque sur L* Ocean, and Toccata by Ravel.
The program provided a refreshing combination of the old and the new in music. Most outstanding were Mrs. C laver’» presenation of Ravel's smoothly rolling Barque Sur I.'Ocean, Shostakovichs’ oddly appealing Three fan ta stic Dances and Chopin’s ever-lovely Fantaisie Impromptu.
Mrs. Claver handled the difficult Sonata and Etudes in an interesting way and showed energy and forcefulness throughout the hour and a half that she played.
The Monday evening recital was the first presented by the faculty this year. Following the program, a reception was held in the studio of Dean Waterman.

G overm ent Encourages M en Students to Rem ain in C o llgee
Apprehension over the fate of American colleges during the present war is considerably less than that shown during the first World w ar a look ut newspapers of that day reveals. Although the government in those days recognized the value of the colleges as the one great source for officer m aterial and did set up the Student army training corps during the second year, the encouragem ent to young men to stay in College was not nearly as strong as it is at present. The organization was in no way comparable to the widespread and specialized training now scheduled by the arm ed forces by which college boys can continue unin terrupted in their education and still re ceive commissions in the various branches upon graduation.
In the college year of 1917-18 Lawrence college had 300 leave school for governm ent service and underw ent an estim ated loss of $45,-000, but an anticipated lean season the following year failed to materialize, even after the demobilization of the SATC which was set up in | October and lasted but three months.
The first year of the war was m arked by much of the same activity \fchich is now going on. The first move was a form of acceleration in which four weeks were cut from the college year by postponing the opening until October 3, to aid w ar work w ith a long summer vacation, and by the elimination of all vacations w ith the exception of one week at Christmas. The exam ination schedule was cu t from six to three days each semester. Later the students were granted the day after Thanksgiving as a holiday when it looked like they were beginning to tire.
Compulsory m ilitary drill was started by November with the sessions originally being held in the evening but later switched to the morning bugle. Rifles w ere supplied by the home guards and competitive drills were held, and hospital and signal corps featured the company. Physical education crcdit was allowed.
Despite the fact that the men | w ere leaving college (14 left to enlist w ithin a period of tw o weeks) and there was a strong appeal to the girls to become nurses, there appeared to be a scarcity of teachers. Several m em bers of the faculty had left during the summer, including the dean of the college, and more w ere leaving during the year for w ar work. This was a war of chem istry and chemists were much in demand as are physicists in this war. Two new courses were installed at the start and others n^ded later. Conversational French, which also was open to townspeople, and shop management for those going into the ordnance departm ent, w ere the first w ar courses to be set up. Later a class in m ilitary topography and map reading was started and a night class in survey-

lng and engineering was held.Patriotism reached a high pitch
and it was manifest in slogans, signs, and dem onstrations of all sorts. An eight week course, re« quired of everyone, titled “Democracy, Christianity, and In ternationalism /’ grew out of a national cam paign for democracy which in tu rn had sprung from a statem ent made by the noted Colonel House who had recently re turned from Europe. The Colonel had said, “There can be no perm anent peace unless the churches can Christianize in ternational relations.” A Win the W ar day was held A pril 6, and every bana in the nation was to play the national anthem.
“Subdue the Subm arine by Substituting.” “Help Put a Yellow Streak Down the K aiser’s Back”; and “Put the Fighting Touches on Kaiser B ill” were typical of the numerous slogans tha t swept the country.
Among the organizations on the Lawrence campus were the Loyalty legion and the G irl’s patriotic service league. All students signed a food pledge card which read; “I shall undertake to have at least 7 wheatless meals a week; <2> to have a t least 7-14 meatless m eah a week; <3) to use one less pat of butter a day; (4) to use sugar sparingly at all meals, and to stir the cup to avoid waste; (5) to cut the use of candy at least 1-3 and om it candy, ice cream, and sim ilar luxuries between meals. Meatless Tuesdays were held in the dorm itories and of course daylight saving was in effect. All college en tertainm ent was given up but la tter a once a month college party was held. A benefit movie en titled "A Game of Wits” featuring Gale Kane was given by the Delta G am ma sorority for the relief of French and Belgian children, and the coeds sent fudge to soldier boys in France. K nitting in daily chapel services and in classes was practically universal.
A service flag containing over 300 blue stars and tw o gold ones was hung in the college chapel, which at tha t tim e was on the th ird floor of the old Main hall, but an old tim er wasted no time culling attention to the fact that at the time of the Civil w ar nearly every Lawrence college man of d ra ft age volunteered for the army.
A Liberty Bond drive and the sale of War and T hrift Stamps was promoted in much the same manner as the present War Bond and Defense Stam p campaign, and a war tax on admissions to am usements caused tem porary concern among the male population.
President Samuel Plantz assured the students tha t Lawrence had enough coal for the w inter bu t a basketball game at Carroll in February had to be cancelled becauseoi a shortage of fuel at Carroll, and intercollegiate football was not played in 1917 but a series of in terclass games kept the game active, the freshmen w inning the cham pionship.
Word came through in the spring that the governm ent would establish the SATC in the fall which would keep boys in college until they were 21 unless called by President Woodrow Wilson. The response to this move on the pa rt of the governm ent to build possible fu ture officer m aterial proved to be quite far reaching, and the establishm ent of an arm ed camp under arm y regulations was a ureat transition to make on the part of a private college. The lessons learned in this program, however, have now been used to advantage by the various m ilitary branches to create the training programs now being put into effect in the colleges to protect the educational liberties of young men, and still have them serve Iheir nation in preparation for m ilitary service.

Honorary Blanket To be Presented To Lawrence Alum
Mr. Carl E. Stansbury, local pa* permill official, tonight w ill be awarded an honorary "L” blanket as a part o f the annual Lawrence college homecoming celebration. Mr. Stansbury during his athletic days at Lawrence received four le tters in football and four in track and was a member o f the first teiim »1897) to be awarded the official “L".
He was a participant in the first track meet at Lawrence—a meet held w ith Beloit on June 12, 1897. In that m eet he was second in the quarter m ile run in 52.5" and third in the half m ile run in 2 m inutes 7 seconds, good time for the distances when it is explained that there w ere no conches or trainers and the boys ran on a dirt track at the old Appleton fair grounds. In football Mr. Stansbury was the star halfback and was a member of the cham pionship 1899 club.

Stars Play in
Last Home GameGraduations Climax Successful Careers Of Lawrence Seniors
Six seniors, four of them letter« men, w ill play their last home foot» ball game for Lawrence college when the Vikings entertain Coe a* the feature of the Lawrence homecoming tomorrow. They are evenly divided between the line and bacx- field. Co-captain Warren Buesing,
' John M*=senger, and Gerald Grady,I are thr linesmen; and William Cros- j sett, Clyde Rhodes, and Ned Gal
loway are the backs.Buesing has operated at tackle
and guard during his three years on the squad and has been one of the mainstays of the Viking wall from the start. He also stars in basketball. Messenger, the largest regular on the squad, is having his greatest year. Following a good start as a sophomore, he had his career interrupted by illness, but now is one of the best guards in the Midwest conference. Grady, used extensively for the first time this season, is developing into a first class end and has solved what was expected to have been an end problem this year.
The leading scorer on the team last season. Crossett is the best pass catcher in the league. He has played virtually the entire game each week since his start as a sophomore Crossett says little but acts a lot He is also varsity basketball captain.
Scooter Rhodes is the lightest back on the squad, but is a triple threat puzzle to all opponents. He has sparked the team to many a victory, and although he is now an understudy to sensational Carl Gi- ordana, he is still a vital factor in Lawrence play. Galloway is playing for the first time but is the first replacem ent for co-captain Georgo Lucht at ouarterback. He has played very |{ood ball at his quarter» back position.

I n S p e c t a c u l a r G a m eSparked by Giordana, Team Carries Ball to Easy 34-0 Conquest
BY DON %£NTNERAnd the Blue and White rolls on!
The ease with which those Vikings romped over the Fighting Scots from Monmouth really made our boys look like champions. Coach Bernie Heselton's gridmen rolled up 20 quick points in the first quarter and then coasted to an impressive 34-0 victory. It was a team that beat the Scots, and not a couple of individual performers ahhough C arl Giordana again shone b rilliantly.
Lawrence had no more than got its hands on the ball than t h e fireworks started. Three oonsecutive first downs put the ball in scoring t e r r i t o r y . At t h a t p o i n t “Speghet" sliced off tackle and raced to the 15 yd. line where
Lueht he lateralled totackle Dick Miller who shot over the goal like the “400" behind schedule.
The Vikes kicked off and regained the ball a short time later on the ir own 40. A pass. G iordana to Burton, was ruled complete on the Scots 10 because of interference. C arl spun to the 3 from where Zu- pek counted.
Again Lawrence kicked off Monmouth failed to advance the ball and on fourth down punted, but M iller and Greco broke through to block it. and Maertzweiler recovered on the Scot’s 29. A series of plays, hindered by a 15 yd. penalty on the Vikes, carried the oval to the 17. Here Giordana flipped to Crossett in the flat and Wild Bill smashed through a tackier and into the end gone for another six points.
In the second quarter the Vikes smashed from their own 5 to Monm outh’s 9. but their machine stalled there. However, a few plays later Buesint; intercepted a Scot aerial on their own 25, and two plays later Giordana .*hot a bullet into Georgie Lucht's arm s in the end sone.
Throughout the rem ainder of the half and during the third quarter, the Viking reserves held the visitors in check and then in the fourth quarter Coach Heselton inserted his scoring machine again—and again they clicked. Starting on their own 30, the Blue and White drove 70 yds. to make their 34th point. The outstanding feature of this march was a play in which Giordana slip
ped through the line and then lateralled to Bill Crossett w h o raced to the Scot’s 25. The play covered a total of 40 yds. The touchdown was scored by Giordana w h o snaked his way to pay dirt from the 11 yd.
„ , stripe. Dick Mil-Buesm* j e r convcrled
the extra point four times out of his live attempts.
This victory definitely sets Lawrence up as the team to beat in the Conference now. However. Monmouth did not offer the high type of opposition which was expected. Coach Heselton has really molded together a fine team, but they still have three tough names facing them before that championship is in the bag—and they will need all the ir tricks for every game.
Giordana again flashed that b rilliance that is already making him ©ne of the most feared triple-threat
artists in the conference. Zupek ran like a heavy tank, and his blocking left nothing to be desired. Crossett was tough and contributed his full share to victory. Unsung hero, Lucht, was again a prom inent figure in every play. Burton and Maertzweiler, ends; Bahnson and Miller, tackles; Buesing and Messenger, guards; and Little Joe (from Kokomo) Greco, all played a whale of a game.
The second string of Grady and VanderWeyden, ends; Hamlin and Murphy, tackles; C urry and Stew ard, guards; Gile, center; and G alloway, Rhodes, Kliefoth, and Nolan, backs, gave an exceedingly good account of themselves. C uriy, Steward, Rhodes, Kliefoth, and Nolan should be singled out for added mention.
War Bond Committee Auctions Ball Used In Homecoming Game
As a between-halves feature of the Lawrence-Coe Homecoming game Saturday afternoon at W hiting field, the ball used in the contest will be auctioned off for war bonds. The person pledging to buy the most w ar bonds will receive the pigskin memento after the contest pnd it will be decorated appropriately by Omar Dengo, noted Law rence college artist.

Lawrence proved tha t it is the team to beat for the Midwest conference championship as it downed the aggressive Monmouth Scots last Saturday by a score of 34 to 0 and this, coupled with an upset victory by Coe over previously favored Cornell. gives the Vikings undisputed lead as the only undefeated team in the conference.
The Viking team also is way out in front in the scoring, averaging 33 points per game in beating the two Illinois rivals, Knox and Monmouth. The Cornell loss to Coe at its own Homecoming is the surprise of the season thus far bu t only brings ou t
the craftiness of the Kohawks veteran coach, Moray Eby. Ripon un covered another ball carrier in Wi- linski, who scored both touchdowns in the Redmen’s victory over Beloit.
With the season half over there rem ains but one undefeated team, and the Vikings go on the road afte r closing their home season against the dangerous Kohawks S aturday. This in itself makes the race a wide open affair. This is a week of homecomings w ith Lawrence en tertaining Coe; G rinnell host to Cornell; Knox at home to Beloit; andMonmouth aiming to recover against Ripon before the alumni. Favorites are the home team s only because of the homecoming angle but Coe has already upset th is th eory on the one homecoming game played.
All team s have scored a t least one touchdown and all have been scored upon. No ties have been registered in the first half of the season, an unusual situation in this very closely matched league.
Welcome, Alums I
Greek SportsI N a see-saw battle which saw
the lead change 11 times, the Delts took the undisputed lead
in in terfratern ity football w ith a thrilling 49-45 win over the Phi Delts last Tuesday afternoon.
The game matched tw o b rillian t aerial attacks, w ith K nell and Eck- rich chucking passes repeatedly for touchdowns. W ith less than one m inute rem aining, and trailing by eight points, the Delts blasted their way for tw o touchdowns and victory.
On two occasions the Phi Delts appeared to be going away, only to have the Delts bounce back w ith two quick tallies to knot the score.
Two evenly-m atched teams, each battling for supremacy, used every trick in the bag to bring the crow d to its feet in the best game the w rite r has seen in many years.
In the other games on Tuesday, the Betas crushed the Phi Taus 59 to 6 while the Paper Institu te squeezed out a 26-25 win over Sigma Phi Epsilon.

BacksCarl GiordanaBY JOHN GKEGG
Carl Giordana plays the all important tailback spot on the 1942 Vike football team. He’s passed for five touchdowns to date besides going off tackle for one himself and has set up several others on runs and passes just short of the goal line. He’s doing most of the punting for the team and calls signals besides.
“Spaghet” prepped a t Kaukauna, down the river seven miles, w here he led three successive teams to conference championships. He also led the league in scoring his last two years with 81 and 54 points, respectively,
Carl was recently initiated into Beta Theta Pi, He spends a lot of tim e working out of doors around the campus. Aside from his football prowess he plays a mean game of basketball, and showed well in last year’s in terfratern ity track meet.
Al ZupekBY DON ZENTNER
A] Zupek learned his football at Washington Park high school in Racine as did two other members of the 1942 Vikings, Bahnson and Crossett. As a freshman at Lawrence A1 alternated between fu llback and left half and was the frosh team ’s big gun. Last year as a sophomore Big A1 earned himself a place as first string left halfback on the varsity; and w ith his passing and running led the Vikes to a successful season. At the end of tha t season he was placed in the all-conference first-string backfield —an honor seldom attained by a first year man. This fall A1 is playing fullback and is probably the hardest running back in the conference. His excellent blocking invariably helps to break Giordana free for long gains.
But Al's abilities are not concentrated in one field of endeavor. As a sophomore he was a three-letter man — football, basketball, and track.
Outside of athletics Zup is a 2.0 student, newly elected chairman of the athletic board. L Club member, and affiliated with Phi Delta Theta fraternity . In previous years A1 has been freshman leader and a Brokaw councilor.
A1 has an ideal build for a football player, weighing 192 lbs. and standing 6’ 1”. This should be a banner year for Al.
Counselors Defeat Freshmen Cagers
Tuesday night those not too dem ure freshmen gals challenged the mighty counselors to a basketball game. This was a ra ther hasty decision for the counselors won 45-10. But judging by the after effects on the counselors it must have been a tough game. Dead-eye Pietsch and Loth proved they w ere old hands at making baskets, while Scheible and Montz were continually scram bling for the ball.
Doughnuts and root-beer were served to the exhausted players and spectators. The game was so much fun that the freshm en would like to repeat it, only this tim e they’ll win.
Freshmen team: Jean Scheible, Mary Lou Collins, Virginia Ber- quist, P a t Wheeler, Joan Farrell. Jean Thielke, Delores Horrig. Kay W arren, Suzy Sewell, K itty L igarre; counselors: Betsy R o s s , Dorie Montz, M arian Pietsch, Carole McCarthy, Shirley Loth, Rebecca Clarke.

Bill CrossettBY DON ZENTNER
Mrs. Crossett’s little boy, Billy, compiled an envious record at Washington Park high school in Racine before coming to Lawrence. He was a National honor society member, starred in football a n d basketball three years, and won the American Legion aw ard for the outstanding athlete-scholar in h i s class. Bill also says he would have been all-conference in basketball in high school if they had all-conference teams. All joking aside, though, Big Bill is compiling another fine record as a Viking.
Crossett, dubbed “Corset", stands 6’1” in height and tips the beam at 203 pounds. He plays wing-back on the 1942 ediUon of the Victorious Vikings and is the team’s outstanding pass receiver. Last year Bill ranked fourth in conference scoring in football as he has been placed on the second all-conference team for the last two years.
On the grid-iron Wild William has aided those Vikings in their title-drive with his stellar blocking and heads-up defensive play. The way he smashes on reverses and the way he plants his meat-hooks on passes has warmed the hearts of many Vike followers.
Off of the field Bill is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity; enlisted in the naval reserve; and a senior, studying business adm inistration.
Tomorrow will be his final game on Whiting field—his last appearance at home.
George LuchtBY PAUL MAERTZWEILER
George Lucht, better known as “champ’* since his exploits in the ring last spring earned him the 165- pound all-college boxing title, sews his activities up in the simple phrase, “I play football" . . . period.
George is a product of Milwaukee Washington high school where he was the ace blocking back of the city’s high school champions. He blocked for Wisconsin's famed fullback, Pat Harder, w hile at Washington.
Among George's accomplishments outside of football are a posiUon on the college athletic board, vice presidency of the •’L', club and athletic manager of Delta Tau Delta of which he has been an active m em ber since his freshm an year two years ago.
Last week, the Viking varsity elected George and W arren Bues- ing co-captains of this year’s team. This is quite an honor for George considering the fact that he is only a junior. Heselton rates George the best blocking back on a Lawrence team since Captain Joe M aertzweiler in 1938 who led the Vikings to their first championship ip 16 years

Lawrence has averaged 33 points per game in its first tw o starts in league play. They have themselves uncovered a whirlwind attack but are believed to have much that it thus far has been unnecessary to try. Possessing what is believed to be its best backfield since Mark Catlin’s day, the Vikings are tops in passing and have to be shown a better running game. The line, which Coaches Bernie Heselton and Ray Hamann had to build from scratch this season has been pushed around by no one as yet thus far. The same eleven that started in the opening game are still in there and will be again this week although replacements are developing fa s t
Lawrence and Coe stand all even in their series thus far w ith each w inning three games, w ith two of the Lawrence victories coming in the most recent contests. Both Heselton and Eby are advocates of wide open games w ith the result that the Lawrence-Coe series is one of the most colorful in the conference.

I T’S interesting to note;That in Zupek’s four touchdowns of the Knox game, he scoro<i
more potots than he’d ever made in a whole season, either at Racine High or at Lawrence.
That Carl Giordana and Jim S tew ard have never played on a football team that lost a game. Let’s just hope they can re ta in that distinction for the rest of this year.
• * •The “no scouting” rule introduced this fall for conference foot
ball keeps rival coaches in the dark. In the past a coach would have his assistant look over the coming week's opponent and an offense would be especially prepared for each opposing team. Novr we have to go by guess and by gob and last year's game. It puts a good bit of responsibility on the captain’s and quarterback’s shoulders. It also puts the coaches more on their toes to analyze the enemy offensive and defensive formations.

A lot of credit must go to Art Denney, Lawrence athletic director, for his hard work and initiative in the college's physical fitness program. The obstacle and steeplechase courses made a fine impression on the army-navy-marine contingent that visited the campus Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.

This column wasn't in last week's issue because of lack of space in the four-page paper. I’m sure hundreds of students missed i t . . . . Anyway, 1 predicted a couple of scores for last week, notably Ripon 7—Beloit 0, right on the head. 1 took Cornell over Coe by 26-t, but Coe won, leaving us the only undefeated team on the conference.1 also picked Lawrence over Monmouth, 14 to 10.

Pastor Tells Students About the Organization And Beliefs of Temple
The religious discussion «roup held its second meeting of the year Sunday evening, from 7 to b o’clock, in the union.
Reverend C. D. Goudie, of the Gospel Temple, explained some of the principles and beliefs of his church. He said that lower animal» are unable to understand the thought and reason behind the acts of man, because they do not have minds capable of this. So it is that n o n cannot understand the ways c>f God; unless through spiritual rebirth , God's grace Hives us greate r spiritual understanding.
This movement was founded through the uniting of several independent groups from different parts of the country when it was discovered that the members of these groups had had the experience of spiritual rebirth.
ChristReverend Goudie expressed the
belief that the events of the present day give the best evidence of any age that the second coming of 1 Christ is in the offing.
The following, as representatives Cf different sects and denomina- j lions, will be guest leaders of future discussions: a Roman Catholic priest, a Jew ish rabbi, a Christian Scien- list lecturer, a Congregational m inister, and a Lutheran pastor. Through their talks with these men. [.awrence students will become in formed on the many sides of modern religious thought. This, in turn , w ill give them understanding, toleration, and perhaps toleration of the creeds of their fellowmen.
The next meeting will be the Sunday after next, November 1 following vespers, from 7 to 8 o’clock, on the second floor of the Union. Reverend Carl H. Zeidler. pastor r f T rin ity Lutheran church wiil lead the discussion.

Lavinia, Lysander, a n d Frosh To Put on Big Show Tonight
“Egad, Lavinia, where did you get tha t zoot suit nightie?”
“Gracious. Lysander. it's the latest thing, w ith shank exposure.”
“Rank exposure, if you ask me. and oh so chic with your green cap.'*
“Don’t rub it in, Lysander, it’s our night to show the stinky sophs how to put on an exhibition.”
And Lavinia and Lysander whip off in high to the pep meeting, along with several million freshmen and students. After reaching the proper pitch of teeth-gnashing frenzy, they tear out. eagerly grasping torches en route. Mob spirit is in charge, and everyone suspects that the jail is emptied every year so no one w ill be hung accidentally in an excess of good spirits.
“Get that kerosene out of my eye!** “Get off my foot!” “My gosh, my hair is on fire," and other evidences of playful fun are audible as the green masses itself into m arching formation. Then stripes
and spots and red flannel, topped by heads and surm ounted by blazing beacons move onward to show the w’orld that Lawrence college is gregarious and extraverted and undefeated, and Coe is pitiful and puny and altogether degenerate.
We see Lysander in the middle of things, hitching at his pajam a pants. They noticed a fire sale in the window of a store and w ant to rejoin their relatives. Voices are getting hoarse as various sections of the crowd swing into “Amen,” this being as close to a prayer for Saturday as they will allow them selves.
Lavinia. in all her glory, steps along as the goal comes nearer, goal being the Viking theatre. What could be more “a propos”? The theatre is stormed in great style, the manager holding his ears and sighting through his Tommy gun to riddle anyone heaving bricks or putting slugs in the candy machine.

Nine O'clock Opera Troupe to Present Play on November 19
The next num ber on the Artist Series will be a presentation of Mo- za it’s lively opera “The Marriage of Figaro” by the Nine O'Clock Opera company Thursday November 19. This, the second feature of the an nual Law’rence college A rtist Series, promises to be a treat for all music and comedy lovers, for it is presented in a stream lined version w ith a crisp English translation which gives the opera new zest.
M ozart’s “M arriage of Figaro” is a frivolous, w itty, im pudent m asterpiece of opera buffa in which lib retto and score are miraculously wed- r’ed. Nowhere else does one find such a combination of unflagging invention of plot and music. To ap preciate it, one must understand its words as well as its notes.
The Nine O’Clock Opera Troupe based its production of the ' ‘M arriage of Figaro” on the belief that good opera, like good theater, must be alive, not a mummified trad ition. The Italians have always | heard W agner in Italian and the Germ ans have learned Verdi in German. It was about time, decided these enthusiastic young singing- actors, th a t Americans had a chance to hear opera in their own language. The results, a fabulously successful transcontinental tour last season, m ore than justified that be- lieL
the significance of Viking as a nam e for the theatre, they also ap preciate the Ell Esses (love seats).
Picking out Lysander we see him edging tow ard Lavinia, and finally, grasping a red flannel e lbow, he deftly steers her into the lobby, and crashes through to double heaven. A fter m inutes of confusion, everyone gradually settles down. The freshm en are safely aw ay for a couple of hours, and here and there a head peeks out of a doorway as the resigned town moves on about its business.
Warren Beck
Writes ArticleBeck Criticizes A Volume of Poems By Stephen Spender
Warren Beck, professor of English at Lawrence college, is th<5 author of the leading critical article in Poetry, A Magazine of Verse for October, 1942, the th irtieth anniversary issue. This article, entitled “A nother Milestone,” is a review of the recently published volume of poems, Kuins and Visions, by Stephen Spender, the prom inent English poet. In an assessment of Spender's present position, Mr. Beck commends the poet's announced return to a kind of w riting which is more personal, in resistance to that pressure of external events which currently tends to dw arf the experience of the individual.
“Such a dwarfing has occurred, undeniably, conspicuously,” w rites Mr. Beck, “but some regard it as a cataclyysm (as is implied in to talitarianism ) w hereas others see tha t dw arfing as illusory, a distortion produced by the season'« miasmic airs, and to be intellectually and morally resisted, like any mirage.
“Finding current causes inadequate or even hostile to the deepest human needs. Spender has confirm ed and re-established the fact tha t the m aterial of poetry is not to be picked up by hearsay, but is always concrete and immediate. Pausing a t the ‘still center’ of his inmost mind, he exemplifies a conversion to W’holesomcness. Out of the ruins of human nature disintegrated by cynical m aterialism and war, he has raised visions of a probity tha t shall express m an’s 'natural need*. Thus under present stresses he shows him self a tru ly English poet, not an opportunistic chauvinist, but one of the historic line whose genius has been for psychological insights, and whose a rt has thus exercised corrective and tonic functions.
