Joseph Ellis Tells Lawrentians How Javanese Live

“ When you hear of coffee, you th ink of Java” began Joseph Ellis, form er Lawrentian, in the convoca­tion address on Jav aw h ich he p re­sented on Monday, December 9. El­lis was born in Bagdad, raised in Singapore, educated at Duke and Law rence colleges and has spent most of the last decade in th s Far East.

“The island of Java is the larg­est, most im portant island of the Dutch East Indies. It id almost as large as the state of Wisconsin, is near the equator, has many vol­canoes. 13 of which are active, and has a population of 40.000,000.’’ El­lis related the story of how in 1883, a volcano erupted, sending ashes 30 miles. “These ashes make the soil rich, making it easy to grow banan­as—all you have to do is sit down and watch the bananas grow. The Javanese doesn't have to count sheep to go to sleep at night—he counts bananas.”

ReligionsHinduism and Mohammedanism

hatfe been brought at different times to the island. “When the Dutch came, they were sm art,' he said. “They sent the nobility to Hol­land to be educated. Then this no­bility came back to rule the labor­ing class, and everyone was satis­fied.’’

Java is a prosperous island—it furnishes much of the world's ru b ­ber. 95 per cent of it* quinine and 90 per cent of its Kapok. “T here are tw o seasons on the island, one be­ing the rainy season and the other the dry one. Due to the intense heat, th e people take life easy, and from tw o to four in the afternoon the big departm ent stores are closed,’* Mr. Ellis stated. The poor class, consist­ing of 95 per cent of the people live in bamboo houses w ith coconut palm roofs. The w ater buffalo is the beast of burden used mostly in the rice fields.

Superstitious PeopleThe people are very superstitious

and have great respect fdP corpses. They love amusement, too, and the streets are always filled w ith snake charm ers and magicians. "One of these tricks is to put a pretty girl in a basket, and soon the girl dis­appears. This is a good tr ick —espe­cially when you can get rid of a girl as fast as that,” said Ellis. E v­eryone in Java wears sarong*, and the style never changes.

The girls m arry young, sometimes at the age of 8 or 10. “It is easy to get a date. All you have to do is to take a walk, see a pretty girl, s ta rt talking to her, and when she answers, you have the date. If she doesn’t answer, you’d better keep righ t on going."

“Now my question is”, he con­cluded, “why are the nations of the world so far apart? Is it so th a t there w ill be more hate or so th a t they will become more in ter­ested in each other? If we would be more interested in each other, w e would have no m ore war*.

be the second in the artist series.Miss Morini has had a career

which has done much to refute the legend of the "unmusical sex.” She says: “The women concert artist of today does not think of professional problems as a Woman but as a m u­sician. Women have won only half of t h e musical battle by gain­ing entrance upon t h e concert stage, where once only male artists stood. If they are to gain complete artistic equality, if the last vestige of prejudice against their sex is to be lifted in this field of endeavor, as it has in others, they must be w ill­ing to forget that they are women and rem ember only that they are artists.’’

The New York Herald Tribune has said of Erica Morini that she “is the only instrum entalist of her sex whose interpretations are delivered with the vitality and intensity ordi­narily only associated w ith male performers. Indeed one would have to seek far among her associates to find a violinist capable of giving so absorbing a version of the Spohr concerto.”

English, is taking a leave of a b ­sence next semester in order to w ork on a series of critical essays on a number of authors, especially Nathaniel Hawthorne. She is plan­ning to examine the oiiginal m an­uscripts of H aw thorne’s Italian notebooks, which are in the Morgan library in New York city in order to discover a num ber of items which were left out by Haw­thorne's wife, in her publication of them. Several parts of the m anu­scripts are in the Huntington lib­rary in California, but a scholar in New Haven has offered Miss Wap­les his copies of these portions.

These essays will include parts on Thomas Mann. Emerson. Haw­thorne and possibly W ordsworth. They will center around the ap­plication these men have made of the psychology that they believe to be the true.

C o l l e c t i o n is S h o w nThe new picture rental collection,

now being shown in the reading room of the library till Januaiy tf, ra s been viewed by many, and tw enty of the twenty-seven pic­tures have been reserved.

Eight ol the pictures, larger and m ore strongly-colored, have been reserved for the different fra ter­nity and dormitory parlors. Among those still available for reservation rv x t semester is Monet’s "Beach at Ste. Adresse,” which is one of the best works of Monet’s middle |>eri- <>«1 The reproduction is of a small iize, designed particularly for one of the smaller dormitory rooms. Typical of his colorings are the rool blues and greens, contrasting -with enough w armer tones to make ii a spirited and attractive picture to live with every day.

Lecomte's “Day’s End Near the Qu.iy" shows the artist, by a skillful contract of a foreground of shad-1 uw with a distant stretch of bril­liantly lighted quay, succeeded in j resenting in a forcible way the impression of such a busy spot in Jate afternoon.

Rare MomentVan Gough’s “View of Arles

Through the Trees’* represents that interestingly expressive artist in one of those rare moments of quiet in his last years when he gains by means of a view of the southern French countryside, seen through a screen of poplars, a note of almost poetic lyric appeal. Similarly, his painting of "The Little Tree in Bloom," an interpretation of a blos­soming pear tree, owes more to the conservative technique developed by Monet than to the feverishly swirling. violent manner, morecom - n o n ly associated with his name.

Still available is the Gauguin painting, “Three Puppies’* with its la t te rn of spots of household ob­jects on the floor and the three pup­pies playing. It speaks a more popu­larly understood language than the 1apestry-like paintings of the south seas for which Gauguin is celebrat­ed

Anyone fond of the water* and boat racing should find the ruggedly honest “John Biglen in a Single Scull" by Thomas Eakins. very much to hi* liking. It Is the paint- frig of a man who knows the Schuyl­kill river at Philadelphia as inti­mately as his own home He knows the proper technique for handling the oar and the exact look of a »cull as it skims lightly over the wa­ter.

One of the few compositions of m arked historical appeal included among the new editions is Peler Brueghel’s "The Three Kings.’* Al­though it nominally has for subject m atter the adoration of the Magi, It actually preserves everyday life

in a typical Flemish town of the 16th century. In the bold and cloue- to -the-iarth realism of this present­ation, the picture also makes a pe­culiarly modern appeal, since such champions of the “Native Scene” as Doris Ix?e, G rant Wood, or John S tew art Curry, have depended up­on such pictures by Bruegal as a source of inspiration.

Although preference will be given to student reservations, the faculty and adm inistration members should place their reservations at this time also. In case a student should change his selection between now and the time the picture is taken out in Jan ­uary. any work requested by a member of the faculty or of the adm inistration will be available.

List of PicturesO re other painting, a landscape

of Tahiti by Gauguin is still to be delivered. A list of the pictures with the num ber of reservation for them follows.

Beal. “The Fisher**—2; Cezanne, "The Seine”—1; Chatterton. "House on the Cliffs**—2; Degas, "D ancing Lesson**—2; Depy, “Ar Bey, Finis- te r’’—2: Van Gogh. "The Sower”—1; Hall.

The Saturnalia was a pagan fes­tival held in the la tter part of De­cember in honor of the god Saturn. It consisted of games, gift giving and feasting. It is believed by many that our Christmas is a direct copy of the Roman Saturnalia.

Social Activities Show Spirit of Yule SeasonT HE snow may be melting, but

it certainly isn 't dampening the spirits of any Lawrentians.

No sir! With home only eight days away, they are very much in a whirl and it isn’t all “boy meets girl!” But, in spite of impending pre-sem ester exams, the old Yule lo^ is really lit, and the weekends are crowded with sleigh rides, for­mats, bull sessions and house par* ties. Everyone is aglow w ith good spirits (only the Lawrence variety) and is very much in the swing of things.

The K. D.s initiated Ruth Scobie last Tuesday evening, to whom we offer our heartiest congratulations. This Thursday evening actives and pledges will glow together at their Christmas party to be held at the Candle Glow. The K. P. hall will be the scene of their w inter formal this Saturday, where they will dance to the music of Tommy Tem­ple and his band.

Their annual White Elephant par­ty will be given this year by the Thetas and their alums at the home of Mrs. George Banta, Jr.

The Alpha Chis will take a more serious view of Christm as w h e n actives and pledges go to church together Sunday.

Last Tuesday the Pi Phis held a tea in honor of their province presi­dent Miss Marian Williams.

Thus far, however, the boy: have not dug out their “monkey suits” for their formals bu t are m aintain­ing a strictly masculine species of celebration.

Saturday night the Beta pledges will give a combination sleigh ride and dance at which Mr. and Mr s . T. H. Hamilton will chaperone. Sun­day evening they will entertain the ir alums at a smoker.

The Delts will hold an active- pled ge dinner this Thursday eve­ning. and Saturday they, too, will

have a sleigh ride, ending in a house party.

All the Phi Taus and their dates immensely enjoyed last Sunday evening in fun, frolic, and song on an old faoh.oned sleigh ride.

This last Monday Mr. M. M. Bober led the Phi Delts in one of h i s now famous bull sessions. T h i s coming Monday they will have an rlum gathering at the house.

And so thats all until next week when we’ll hear those sleigh bells and train whistles really ringing out!

Rumsey Speaks To Lawrence Religious Group

Bob Rumsey, a representative of American Friends Service commit­tee and a former Lawrence student, spoke at the Lawrence Religious association meeting last Sunday eve­ning at the Presbyterian church. He is field secretary of the Quaker organization and working on a col­lege peace program in the midwest.

Rumsey stated that the basic structure of society is fundamentally wrong and that the time has come to question methods of war in civ­ilization. He mentioned several mis­taken ideas and things leading to war; namely, the dogma of armed security, worship of the state, im­perialism and methods of violence.

“We should build up society by finding a new way of life,” he said. “People shouldn't make their own rules but follow basic rules of the universe. Those who think war is not the way out should band to­gether in order to bring about more influence."

A discussion on the peace pro­gram and the present world situ­ation followed.

The tasty aroma of hot buscuits, sirloin steak, mashed potatoes and gravy drifted out from the kitchen into the dining room. Seated at a table were six hungry girls. They breathed the fragrance deeply and longingly. Upon their faces was w ritten intense desire for food. The door of the kitchen opened, and the waitresses entered, their trays load­ed with the delicious food. The last waitress to come out carried a light load. She approached the famished six and set before them a meager meal, consisting of a vegetable and a salad. The six dug into the con-

tents of their plates and ate as it they hadn 't seen food for months. They finished long before the oth­er diners and spent their time look­ing yearningly at the savoury food the rest were consuming. Their con­versation was sprinkled in like side plates. They talked about every kind of delectable food imaginable and seemed almost to be trying to fill up on their descriptions. When they ran out of dishes to describe, they griped about the lousy content of the food before them. Then someone started the inevitable howl, “Only two weeks until Christmas, and I’ve just got to lose those extra fifteen pounds before Bill sees me.”

Someone else asked a plumpish female, “Why are vou at the diet ta­ble?"

The answer came back as a wail, “Why? Just look at me, that’s why. I love to eat. but Christmas is al­most here.”

As the time grows nearer to Christmas the number of these suf­ferers increases daily. Oh! What price, figure!

Drive to Revive No Smoking Tradition on Campus Is Made

N O SM OKING on cam pus, a trad ition of long standing here at L aw rence, has not

been lived up to fo r the past few years and es­pecia lly th is year. The 'I.* c lub is tak ing a stand against sm oking on cam pus and needs th e cooperation of the en tire studen t body in rev iv ing th is w orthw hile trad ition .

| T rad ition is not silly as m any stu d en ts a re ap t to regard it. M any schools are bu ilt on trad ition , and it can be, and is the richest char* ac te ris tic a school has. L aw rence has fa r too few to be v io lating any of them .

Sm oking on th e cam pus should be stopped especially a t the lib ra ry , in fro n t of M ain hall, a long th e w alks and a t th e chapel. I t litte rs u p the grounds and gives ou ts iders th e im pres­sion of a sloppy stu d en t body. Not only does it look bad, bu t it cncourages studen ts to sm oke m ore. S tuden ts a re q u ite ap t to sm oke in o rd er to be in sw ay w ith th e ir sm oking friends.

Since th e trad itio n has been honored a t L aw rence in the past and is now operating suc­cessfully a t o th e r schools, notably M ichigan, N orthw estern and C arle ton college, it ce rta in ly can be rev ived here . L e t's all support the ‘L’ c lub in th e ir drive.

WHAT is wrong w ith our pre­sent system of adm inistra­tion of comprehensive ex­

aminations?This year, as last year and many

years before, the study of senior com prehensives will be one grand bit of cram m ing which all modern educators w ill say is the worst method of study. Fast on the heels of th is cram m ing, irradiation will take its usual toll of a few unfortu­nate seniors. A fter they have ir- radiantly flunked the w ritten exam, they are given a chance to redeem them selves when they are told that they are requested to take the oral exam, which is a headache in any language. This oral exam consists of taking the poor unfortunates one by one and standing them before w hat legitim ately can be called a firing squad of three or four pro­fessors who shoot rapid-fire ques­tions a t the suddenly stupified sen­ior. G reat chance he has of w ith­standing the unjust * pressure and of calling his frightened brain to the task of recollection. Yes, it’s « sad state of affairs, this present system.

Of course, one can not criticize a present system w ithout offering or advocating reform s of some kind. H ere a re m y suggested reforms: 1. elim ination of all final exam inations w ith th e purpose of pointing t h e four years of study toward the com prehensive exams. This method may be too idealistic. If it is, here is a m ore practicable one. 2 . elim i­nation of final exams for the sen­iors to allow them to spend their last year in review of their p re­vious academic subjects.

If neither of the fore-going sug­gested reform s can be utilized, and if the present situatioir must pre-' vail, then I would suggest tha t the comprehensives be given only to those who desire them for review purposes or for graduation w ith honors.

May I recall to your mem ories tha t the purpose of any comprehen­sive exam system is the studious review of your previous college academic existing method; there ­fore, as the voice of not one, but many, I make a motion that t h e present system be amended. I hope that this motion will be seconded, now, by an active voicing tow ard this end.

And So II Goes

I F by chance any of you have been reading your new spapers of late, you have found th.it Mr.

Mussolini and his boys have run into a little trouble—in fact, so MUCH trouble tha t i t is actually getting to the point w here it’s a joke. The best sum m ary w e have seen anyplace of the whole affair appeared in Saturday’s editorial page of the CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. It is even good enough to be reprin ted here in th is suprem e effort known as the Law rentian.

Razzle Dazzle Is Old Stuff The firing of Head Coach Pete

Badoglio of M editerranean State, following a disastrous season in which Old State failed to win a game and absorbed several te r­rific shellackings, is said to be m erely the beginning of ? de­emphasis program in which Med­iterranean may abolish the yame, adopt the H utchins philosophy, and join forces w ith the U niver­sity of Chicago in a move to popularize six-man war.

It is no secret th a t the Medit­erranean alum ni have been put­ting the heat on Coach Badoglio ever since the Ethiopian game several seasons ago. Picked by the experts to win by an overw helm ­ing score, Bagoglio’s boys le t them selves get mousetrapped by the Ethiopians, and w ere lucky to win by a point a fter touchdown. Almost any day, now, we may expect A thletic D irector Musso­lini or P rexy Victor Emmanuel Ao issue a statem ent declaring that w ar has become so commer­cialized and professionalized th a t M editerranean feels it is no long­er a game for gentlemen and am a­teurs.

For years the alum ni have been sm arting under charges tha t Med­iterranean S tate played a “soft" schedule of setups and never took on any of the big-tim e teams.

“Why,” the alum ni kept ask­ing, “do we keep on playing jerk« w ater team s like Ethiopia, Span­ish Normal and Albania Sub- Normal? Why can’t we take on the Muscovy Bears, the John Bulls, or Minnesota?”

The alum ni finally got w eary of hearing Badoglio’s squaw ks about the lack of m aterial and w ere all set to go out and do a little proselyting. It was w idely rum ored at the start of last sea­son that there would be a flock of trip le-th reat backs from Blitz- k reig U. in the M editerranean backfield, but they never got in­to the starting lineup. Now, it seems that the alum ni are ready to agree w ith Dr. H utchins tha t gate receipts a re the source of all evil and th a t w ar has no place in an educational program.

V i k e s H e r e T o m o r r o wPurple Has Only Four Lettermen

Returning to SquadW ith only four letterm en re ­

tu rn ing to bolster their lineup, Cor­nell college invades -Lawrence on Friday. Even though Cornell has only four lettermen, the Vikes are just a little worse off w ith only three.

The veterans who are returning for Cornell are Jim Bailey and H arold Week, guards; Leslie Bishop and Wallace Tripp, forwards. Nine of these boys are very tall, but they possess a lot of . speed and ability.

Making up the rest of the squad are a group of nine sophomores and Howard Artm eyer, Vernon Sigurdson and Lloyd Simester, who w ere reserves in the ’39-’40 cam­paign. Among the sophomores who look the most promising are Bob Anderson, Bob Bailey, L lo y d Bishop, Bill Dague, Don Fisk, C har­les Hill, Dick Houden, Dwayne Howard, George Jares, Earl ftodine and Paul Roberts. Jim Gordon, a junior transfer, completes the squad.

Small SquadCoach Dean, of the Purple, warns

tha t although his squad is small, it has the most spirit and speed for the last few years. He also adds tha t before the season is over, they m ay prove quite a surprise.

Before the Oshkosh game last Monday flight, Coach Denney told the squad that he'd put them up against any team in the Midwest i i they could beat Oshkosh on their own floor. The Oshkosh team has as good a fast break as any team our squad will meet this season. If they can hold other team s’ offenses down like they held the Oshkosh fast break down Monday night, the team will have a successful sea­son. V

The basketball team has started off the season w ith tw o close, hard fought wins and will play Cornell in the first conference game of the schedule Friday night.

Reserve CombinationsThe combination of Fredrickson,

Crossett, Fieweger, Morris and H arvey has looked very good in the last tw o games. When a lead has been piled up, strong reserve com­binations will include Lingle, Knell, Kirchoff, Schade, Slauson, Buesing and others. These men have by no m eans been eliminated from sta rt­ing berths, and competition for positions is very strong.

Cornell was beaten last weekend, 27-23, by Ripon.

Lawrence Swimmers In First Exhibition On Thursday Evening

A stronger than average Law ­rence college swimming team makes its first start in A lexander gymnasium pool Thursday evening, Dec. 12, against the noted Gustavus Adolphus natators of St. Peter, Minn. The visitors, annually one of the best college teams in the middle west, hold two of the Law ­rence pool records and have tied another on previous appearances.

This year they bring the free style champion of Minnesota, in Bob Hansen, whom they count on for firsts in the 100, 220 and 440 free style races. And Everett T ur­ley, Lawrence’s sophomore back stroke star, gets his initial varsity experience in probably the best race of the day w ith Eddie John­son, form er Minnesota champ of the visitors.

Two other standouts among the invaders are Bud 'Severson, sprint- man, and Louis Benson, a diver. Augmenting these are four fresh­men who are expected to aid con­siderably. Lawrence is handicap­ped in not being allowed to use freshmen. They have tw o likely performers.

Lawrence will be led by Cap­tain Miles Hench, free style expert, and Turley. Coach Ade Dillon, also has a formidable medley relay trio. Jam es Orwig and Don John­son will do the diving and Tom Hay will be the sole entry in the breast stroke. The sprinter will be W alter Patten. O ther assign- ments^have not been announced. .

True to earlie r predictions, the powerful Beta volleyball team came through again to win the inter­fraternity championship last Sat­urday by defeating the Delts and winning on a forfeit from the Phi Delts. In the Delt contest, the Betas lost the first game, 15-10, but came back w ith a strong finish to cop the last two games, 15-6 and 15-5. Hammer, Jones and Wam­pler played best for the winners, while Suszycki and "Rugged" Hirst looked good for the Delts.

The second match of the after­noon found the Sig Eps defeating the Phi Taus, 15-4, 15-7. Bud Ru- bino played a stellar game for the losers, w hile C lark and Lubenow helped the Sig Eps to victory.

The Delts, after being beaten by the Betas, came back to beat the tired Phi Tau team by scores of 15-11, 15-10. Boge and Suszycki looked best for the w inners and Thompson, Maxwell and Bohl played good ball for the Phi Taus.

Vikings Defeat

Oshkosh Peds

in Close GameCrossett Is High Scorer With Eleven Points

The basketball team wtm another exc-.tingly close game from Osh­kosh State Teachers Monday night on the Oshkosh court The lead Changed ten times, The final score being 33-32. The Viking defense was much tighter than in the first game, while the narrow playing floor at Oshkosh and the use of a livelier type of ball held our of- ien.se down considerably.

The game started out with ? duel between the Vikes’ Phil Harvey and Murray Meyer of Oshkosh, Phil’s two baskets and one free throw kept the Lawrence team on• par in scoring till the boys got accustomed to the cramped play­ing s|>ace. Oshkosh scored consist­ently In the first half on four field goals by Meyer and one apiece by Ehrenhart and Richlen. while the Usually high scoring Spear was held Without a score by Bob Morris Aft­e r Harvey's initial scoring drive the Vikes scored on two baskets by Bill Crossett. one apiece by Bues* Ing and Morris and two free throws by Don Fredrickson to end the half one point ahead of the Titans, IS 14.

Second HalfThe opening of the s-jcond half

■aw the Vikings lose and regain the lead and hold a consistent three or four point margin till the clos­ing minute, chiefly through t h e accuracy of Fredrickson, Crossett •nd Morris. The Titans put on a furious drive, the score standing at 31-28 with a m inute left to go. T h a i Spear eluded a cloae guard and dropped one in. With thirty secon<fc left Murray Meyer sunk• long looping hook shot to put the Oshkosh team aheid by one point. A now desperate Viking team took the ball and rushed down the floor only to have a piss in ter­cepted. The Titans came roaring back, and Fredrickson fouled Mey­e r as he took a shot. Phil Harvey called tim e out with exactly fif­teen seconds left to play. Play was resumed and Meyer missed his first free throw. Oshkosh chose to take the ball out of bounds rather than risk losing the ball on the uecond throw. Don Fredrickson intercept­ed Meyers' pass from out of bounds •nd threw it to Bill Crossett a l­ready far down the floor. With

Speaks at Chamber Of Commerce Banquet At Masonic Temple

Bo McMillin, the Hoosier coach with a charm ing southern* dialect, entertained the combined, grid squadi of the Lawrence varsity, freshmen and the Appleton High school at the Chamber of Com­merce banquet held at the Masonic tem ple on December 4. He talked about his personal experiences in undergraduate days and about some of his teams and players in his col­orful career. Among the things he stressed as being necessary for suc­cess in football w ere the intense desire to play football and t h e heart to play a little better than your expected ability would w ar­rant.

At times his anecdotes made ev­eryone hold his sides, and at other times he would seriously drive home some point which obviously revealed a deeper philosophy of life which must endear him to those who know him intimately. His part­ing thought concerned the need for keeping high educational ideals as the real goal of education and not super football teams, for only by mastering the tool subjects can any- ine hope for success in life.

ñW iH iüW lB

T

HIS year the football squad failed to elect a captain or co­captains. This is a rare event,

both for Coach Heselton and f o r Lawrence college. Eight juniors are back next year, and of these eight a group of about five are about equally well qualified to m erit this honor. On the basis of their past work these men have commanded about equal respect from their teammates, ( and no one has shown distinctive enough ab il­ity as a leader to m erit being sin­gled out at this time. Perhaps the team will go through the next sea­

son with a captain appointed by the coach for each game and honorary captain or co-captains elected at the

close of the season. This procedure allows the boy w*th the best n a tu r­al qualities of leadership to blossom out. To be sure, a sacrifice in cen­tralized authority is an ' unavoid­able disadvantage of this system, but the error of having the wrong candidate as perm anent captain tends to offset this. Moreover, this practice is quite general in other football circles, for example. Wis­consin, Chicago, etc.

* * *It teems Bo McMillin was an

Ideal selection as a banquet speak­er. He mimed to satisfy everybody. He streamed education (which made the administration happy), spirit and sacrifice (which n.ade the coach happy), glory and fun

(which made the players happy) a n d stories a n d experiences (which made everybody happy).

« * *We’ll go out on a limb w ith a

long shot prediction concerning the I success of the Lawrence basketball team. The team will be very suc­cessful. providing somebody makes a vitally necessary adjustm ent to the combination of CrOssett. F red­rickson, Harvey and Morris. The fifth man to go with this combi­nation holds the key to a winning or losing team. Our reasons are sim­ple. These men play as a unit, all for one and one for all, and each con give a top notch account of

! himself. At this writing no other player fits this combination as well as the members fit each other.

"Have a tablet on me,” we mis­quote Messrs. G riffiths and Flory It seems that the psych profs have been befuddling their little class­mates by giving them stimulants, or not.

The last reports we have gleaned show amazing results. Three violent cases of hysteria resulted—one from no stim ulant, just sugar milk in tablet form. Twenty five milligram of benzendrine produced fifty lines of heroic couplet betw een one and tw o in the morning.

The Sanka people would be defi­nitely disappointed to know that three of the girls who took caf­feine in their tablets felt compelled to go to bed at 7:30.

A Sageite reports she wanted to get up early and do calisthenics for “the figuah” all year—the m orn­ing after benzendrine she was up at six touching her toes in the brisk morning air.

Psychological effect was well not­ed when the same benzendrine which is selling well in cold inhal- ors made one girl’s cold much worse. Oh yes, interesting stuff— psych lab. And then, of course, there were the typical Lawrentians who were too blase to let anything af­fect them.

HINGS are back to normal a»{ain—Bismark has once more taken up residence at the U n­

ion. Big Herb Heiss is completely indifferent these days, and it looks as if poor old Bismark is going the way of all unfed flesh. Being a bit under the w eather last w eek­end, Bismark didn’t get to cither the Theta or Alpha Chi formals. The latter, we hear, was quite an affair, with the snazziest program­mes we’ve seen in a long time. The

Thetas decorated North Shore Country club with a few well placed evergreens, and, with the i*>ssible

exception of having to hitch-hike the necessary ten or twelve miles to get there, everyone said it was a fine dance.

mas, the holiday spirit begins to establish itself more firmly on our campus. Snow balls are whiz- sing windows are shattering and the faculty is smouldering. Stu­dent groups are staying up later, alerping later, sharpening up on their bridge and, in general, pre­paring for the forthcoming va­cation. More and more guys and gals are getting hauled In for ov­er cuts which, we are told, is not the right attitude. Decorations have been In evidence on the streets of our fair town since the first of November but the ( nion was first to lead off on the camp- as. The Phi Taus, being in a sort of Dartmouth - Winter - carnival mood, decided a little ice-srulp- ture was In order, and. with deft hands and artistic ability, a snow Venus of no uncertain proportions was whipped up in nothing flat. An Ire coating was to make Snow White permanent, but old man Sol decided differently, and on Tuesday last, the effigy became just another snow heap. More decorations were discovered at RuhmcII Sage wherein two of the gals have purchased small Christ­mas trees for their windows— complete with decorations. How­ever, I suppose that’s all right— Ted Mettger is writing a letter to Santa Claus.

* * *Singing is taking quite a prom i­

nent part in this Christm as spirit. That sturdy group mentioned last week again gave forth with con­certs, not only at Peabody a n d Ormsby, but also at Sage. Due to the fact that he burned out a few tonsils last week, Garman was lost

C a r d M a t e r i a l sThe hobby worship, which

meets this evening at 7:30, has add­ed a considerable supply of papers, cardboard and other m aterial for use in executing Christm as cards. Also available are linoleum wood blocks, gouges for cutting the blocks, paints and boards for m ak­ing posters, and a large assortm ent of greeting cards and linoleum and wood block prints to serve as a stim ulation for a possible source of ideas.

Work shall be gauged for the Lawrentian and Contributor, and anyone juvho is interested in maga­zine illustration is urged to come Thursday afternoon between 1:30 and 4:30 or this evening. W. S. Baldinger associate professor of art, or Roger Sherman, instructor in fine arts, will aid in making sug­gestions for projected individual work. An advance sketch of a pos­sible illustration for the C ontribu­tor should be subm itted to Jim Or- wig or Omar Dengo for approval before a final block is cut or a draw ing executed.

At Sage, Lou H einritz showered the group with Ritz crackers, while good old rain w ater showered on them at Ormsby. It’s rum ored that the boys h a v e sixteen variations for Jingle Bells, including Russian, Spanish a n d Swedish variations. Singing at the union, led by “Shorty” and Jim Orwig, went over big last Sunday. There were, however, times when Jim Moody looked uncomfortable.

* * *W hile en route to Ripon last

week, our president had a bit of trouble. We quote from the Post- Crescent (and it’s cold enough for a quote these days!) "Being a prac­tical man, 1 pulled over to the side of the road to look at the map. I went a foot too far and slid off in-

| to the ditch.” The ditch being fill­ed with snow, a truck, and strange­ly enough, a beer truck, had to pull him out, and so it goes—. Has any­one besides us noted the absence of mistletoe in the Union? And anoth­er thing—someone ought to tell Jean Foote tha t bogey-men, genii

1 and other of Grim m's monstrocities don’t exist. Then she could walk the two blocks from the l^ w ren -

; tian office to her home at ten-th ir­ty at night.

even French foods are introduced to Lawrence linguists through* the medium of the French club “Le Cercle Français”. The club aims to supplement some of the classroom experiences and to give the students a chance to speak French among themselves. As a part of the activi­ties, students put on French dia­logues and plays, play games, hear lectures in French, hold a French banquet, where the customs and eti­quette of the French are observed, and sing French songs. In small in­formal groups students are given opportunities for expression t h a t could not be used in the classroom.

"Le Cercle Français” provides funds for an annual prize awarded for work in French. A competitive exam ination is given, and two prizes are awarded on the basis of the examination. The group also sponsors the observance of certain

The club Is made up of members of the advanced classes in French and also selected mem bers from the interm ediate group whose scholar­ship and interest qualify them for membership.

A French club has been in exis­tence on the Lawrence campus since 1919. Even as far back as 1905 an or­ganization existed, but the present group had its origin in 1919.

Present officers of the club are Georgia Bettinghaus, president; Dorothy Ahrensfeld, vice-president and social chairm an; H elen A n n Schram, secretary; and Patricia Locke, treasurer. Louis C. Baker, professor of modern languages and Anne Jones, instructor in French and German, are the faculty ad­visors.
