Quaker Cagers Meet Harvard In First Away Ivy Encounter

by Dick Arthur Pennsylvania's basketball team makes Its first New England

Invasion of the season when it meets Harvard in an Ivy League battle at Cambridge tonight. It will be the Quakers' first league contest on a foreign court.

A victory for the Cantabs tonight would elevate them to third place In the Ivy loop behind the co-leaders, Columbia and Prince- ton. Harvard, with a romp over Cornell and a 13-polnt loss to Dartmouth, has a 1-1 league slate.

Tonight's Penn-IIarvard basketball game will be carried ex- clusively, direct from Cambridge, by WXPN at 8:25. Eddie Einhorn will handle the play by play account.

Although last season's inex- perienced squad produced only 6 victories in 23 encounters, the Crimson this year have an over- all 5-5 slate. The Cambridge team proved to be the surprise of the New England Holiday Tournament, as It took third place honors.

Harvard threw a real scare In- to Penn's championship hopes last year with its "freezing" tactics at Cambridge. Bart Leach's jump shot with but seven seconds remaining gave the Quakers a 54-52 win.

The Quakers, although being dropped to third place by Colum- bia on Wednesday night, showed much better outside shooting and drive than they did against Dartmouth and Brown in recent

■ action. Their recent markmanship should discourage any hones that Harvard might entertain of putting the game into the "Icebox" again.

Coach Ray Stanley's bench has almost disappeared with the recent loss of Don Mershon and Reuben McDanlel. Penn's reserve weakness showed up quite noticeably In the Columbia tilt. After staging a strong comeback the Quakers folded In the final stages of the game.

Co-captain Joe Sturgis and sophomore Dick Csenscitz, the two leading Penn scorers, loom as the big threats to the Cambridge hosts. Lou Bayne, Co-captaln Franny Mulroy. and Gerry Nen- sel round out the Quaker attack. Alex DeLucia, after an excellent performance against the Lions, should give the Quakers added backcourt strength.

Myers, Other Officers Reelected by Ivy Club

Samuel Myers has been unanimously reelected president of the Ivy Club.

All of the other club officers were also reelected. They are Charles Bogdanoff, vlce-presi dent, Barry Costllo, recording secretary, Bernard Gross, corre- sponding secretary and Howard Schlesstnger treasurer.

Myers is senior class secretary and a member of the Debate Council, Young Democrats, Alpha Phi Omega and Hillel Founda- tion.

The group will give a two and a half hour concert at Irvine Auditorium starting at 8:30 that evening. . . . This concert has been made possible largely through the efforts of Phi SIR Eddie Donald, a top rate Jaxs performer himself, who is keenly in

led in bringing more big names to the I'eiui campus. . . . Publicity arrangements are now underway, and according to l.ddie. look Magazine is making preparations to ■ over the concert for a future issue. . . . The concert will also be mentioned on the sieve Allen show at the same time the popular TV emcee is presented with the award for the advancement of jazz and the pop- ularization of that field of music through the medium of television.

Its also a good bet that either individual Brubeck recordings will be given at the door or albums of that artist's records offered as door prizes, courtesy of Columbia. . . . Tickets will go for only $1.75 and group hlocks will be made available for frater- nities and other interested organizations ... To make a long story short, we now have a chance to show the many watchful eyes of the administration what we think of big names on the campus, and at the same time to give our vote of approval to the II < ouncil for what it has done. . . . Besides, you'll also have a most enjoyable evening!

The cause for laughter was their patent leather bow pumps which they wore with their formal attire after the shows to the many parties given in honor of the troupe

a cocktail party this afternoon in honor of the ten finalists chosen by a board of judges before the ( hristmas vacation. . . . Now the selection is in the hands of the students, exactly where it belongs!

As far as we are concerned, the judges have picked an outstanding and a beautiful Kroup of finalists, but, as the old saying goes, not all of them tan win. ... At this point we begin to wonder. . . . Will the • voting in this contest rollow along the usual lines so prevalent in the University today, those of fraternity, sorority and other organizations acting as pressure groups, or will the prettied girl in the eontest be acclaimed the victor?

Barty indications seem to show that, as usual, the former will be the case. ... It could be seen at the polls yesterday that several of the sororities were pushing "their girl." ... Of course this was to be expected, since certain of the local sororities seem to take pride in the fact that they have the largest number of "queens" on the campus. ... It is indeed unfortunate that women's dormitories, student organizations and other sororities don't have such tactics in reserve for occasions such as this, but maybe they have been misled by the popular belief that the "best man always wins '

As for our personal choice, it has been a difficult one to make, but as far as we can see, the fairest of the fair is Miss Ixiis Jakuhowski, with Misses Julie Dill, and Jean Wang running a close second . . . Misses Peggy I'arquette and Ruth Klinghoffer un doubtedly will make up the rest of the court. . . . We would like to make it clear that this was not the decision of the judges nor the consensus of popular opinion, but merely our own predictions. . . . With spec- ulation running as high as it has the past few days, we feel that we are entitled to a little of our own. . . . May the BEST gal win.

Two more names have been added to the list of "bad boys" who are getting off probation in time to participate in the festivities of the weekend. . . . SAE, which has been off the party circuit since the dis- turbance last spring, will celebrate the oc-

Congratulations are also on tap for Samuel Shechter of ZBT . . . Sam was recently elected President of Hillel.

While we're passing out congrats. let's not forget tiny Buddy Smith of Kappa Sig . . . Bud was recently elected athletic chairman of that house. . . .

head of Harvard and the setting up, on this campus, of the Institution for Humanistic Studies tor Executives seems to he under u.u. The latter is especially significant. Who c\

heard of men who had already been educated getting re- educated ? The point is that they hail a lot of practical,

applicable hut essentially specialized knowledge and yel lacking—what? The answer is that insight into, and appre- ciation of, humanity which only familiarity with what the most profound of other men have discovered can provide.

This, of course, presents the University with a dilemma. All along its proud hoast has been that, unlike the other Universities, this one had no gadfly classicist as its founder

but a practical man, dedicated to practical aims. It is not -v, then, to appeal to tradition to support any move toward

a reemphasis of Liberal Arts, at least not explicitly.

But what would seem possible is the implicit citation of Franklin's penchant for practicality; a twisting, if you will, of his constant pairing of practicality with applicability. This would permit the University, if it chose, to apply Franklinian perseverance and industry to the task of building up the I.ih-

I Arts, with the justification being that, with the trends of education running more and more toward the humanities, we cannot afford to he so impractical as to he behind them.

Franklin once said that no man is truly educated until he has handled many hooks. Perhaps that was just a printer's

justification of his calling. Hut then again he might have

meant the Great ones.

v toward the goal of better living, not the f wholesale death; and as the degree of spe-

cialisatioil in the various fields of science h I and the ability to affect whole communities

and indeed whole nations through a single scientific act has become clear, there has developed a public

ence upon popular control of these fields and the end that they may be lhaped and

ed to the public good. From this has come a rei if the need for adequate training of America's | people—training not only in the techniques

of the physical sciences, hut also in the art of poli- to the end that their labors may redound to

the public good. The need for proper training has been accentua-

ted by the breathtaking advance-, in modern com- munication-.. Physical scientist-- now must realize that they play a vital iole in our daily lives and our communities and can no longer regard themselves

must he aware of the intricacies and potenti- alities of science as they devise and operate the social system which this science must be made to serve. Thus broader training, both for scientists and

iture political leaders, is a crucial necessity in

America's future. The importance of such training was recognized

by no one more vividly than by Benjamin Franklin. Scientist, businessman, philosopher, author, diplo- mat and politician—Franklin was a man of tre- mendously broad ability and effectiveness.

inklin saw in his day, and fulfilled in his own life, the need for a rich blend of technical and social activity. His life represents, for this country, our first and most important example of the scien-

tizen—a man at home in the laboratory, in the library and in the Congress—a man win

in the nature of the physical world was guided at all times by his concern for the welfare of mankind and in its agelong culture as cxp

lUgh the tools of government. And so we call upon American youth today to

lid to the challenge presented by the life of Benjamin Franklin: to play a part in solving the social, cultural, governmental and scientific problem- of their generation to promote the brotherhood of all mankind.

'Dr. Fatsides' Observations on Health, Medicine Have Greatly Influenced the Medical Profession

W. B. McDANIEL, 2d

ugh Franklin held no medical degree, and did not practice medicine professionally 'he would not have needed a degree to do so in his time), it has been doubted whether his contributions to

>l science were equaled by any one of his American medical contemporaries. These have been interestingly summarized by two medical graduates of the University: Dr. William Pepper, in his "The Medical Side of Benjamin Franklin" (1911); and Dr. Theodore Diller, in his "Frank- lins Contribution to Medicine" (1912). They show Franklin to have been as ingenious, as ver- satile, as level-headed in medical matters as he was in everything else he touched.

From the age of about 16, Franklin exhibited a of the fundamentals of healthful living

that places him among the most astute observers in this respect. Readers of "Poor Richard" time and again have aphoristically set before them the

To anatomy and physilology Franklin contribu-

As everyone knows, he invented bifocal spectacles and a flexible catheter. He was instrumental in the founding of the Pennsylvania Hospital, and aided innumerable young Americans in their pursuit of medical education abroad and at home. His printing press produced several important medical publications.

With reason, you see, the Founder also smiles benignly on us from a niche in the medical Pan- theon.

The silver tankard was presented to Franklin by Ellas Boudinot. silversmith and president of the Continental Congress, as a token of affection and esteem. It is one of Franklin's few pos-

ns to bear his arms. "In Philadelphia I had such a rod fixed to the

top of my chimney." The rod was believed to have been made by Franklin for the home of

John Wister of Philadelphia. The use of a metal conductor to protect buildings from destruction by lightning was the practical corollary of Franklin's experiment with the kite and key.

"I cannot distinguish a letter even of Large Print; hut am happy in the invention of Double Spectacles." Franklin's eyes had long been bad and he was never without two pairs of glasses, one for reading and one for formal wear. In 1784, tired of switching back and forth from one pair to another, he decided to remedy the situation by having "half of each kind associated in the same circle." Thus, bifocals were invented.

whether any other convention we can obtain may be able to make a better constitution; for when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly, can a perfect production be expn . "It therefore as- tonished me, Sir, to find this system approaching so mar to perfection as it does." . . . "Thus I con- sent.

1789 Wrote last public paper, "An address to the

public, from the Pennsylvania Society for Promo- ting the Abolition of Slavery, and the Relief of Free Negroes unlawfully held in Bondage." As president of the Abolition Society, Franklin signed a memorial to Congress asking for the discourage- ment of slave trade.

1790 Wrote his last letter to Thomas Jefferson. Died in the evening of April 17.

"A little house well filled a little farm well tilled, and a little wife well willed, are great riches."

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, cither write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing."

What young people are doing at General Electric

Young scientist works on new ways

to improve metals Today scientists and engineers face one of

the toughest harriers of all - tin- "metal

barrier." Modern technology has progressed

so rapidly that today's metals can't meet the

ticmcndous demands placed upon them. For

such fields as aviation, electronics, atomic

energy, present metals must he improved and

new kinds of materials must be developed.

One of the young men playing a role in

this new and important field is 30-year-old

Dr. Roland P. Carreker, Jr.

Carreker's Work Interesting, Vital

As a research associate in the General Elec- tric Research Laboratory's Metals and Ceramics facility, Carreker's chief concern is the improvement of metals through new processing techniques.

In his work, Dr. Carreker has dealt with such important metallurgical problems as metal failure in high-speed turbine rotors, determining the strength of pure metals from —425°F, the temperature of liquid hydrogen, to 2,800 F and economic studies of new metallurgical processes.

25,000 College Graduates at General Electric

When Carreker came to General Electric in

1947, he already knew the work he wanted

to do. Like each of our 25,000 college-

graduate employees, he is given a chance to

grow and realize his full potential. For Gen-

eral Electric has long believed this: When

fresh young minds are given freedom to

make progress, everybody benefits — the in-

dividual, the company, and the country.
