Swarthmore PHOENIX Vol. 73, No. 7 COLLEGE, SWARTHMORE, PENNA. Tuesday, November 6,1951 First Phoenix Promotion Raise Soyars, Reporters On Mast The first set of promotions of the year, including the formation of a Reportorial Staff, have been announced by the Editorial Board of the Phoenix. As the only promotion to the Board, Libba Soyars, a sophomore, has been made a Senior Editor. Libba, who worked with the Phoenix last spring, started the year as a Junior Editor. The group of people to be promoted have been selected from a large staff, and represent the beginning of what will be a rapidly expanding staff of Reporters. They are Franz Allina, '54; Jay Levine, '55; Iris Okasaki, '55; Donna Olsen, '55; Debbie Richardson, *53; Frank Sieverts, '55; Dirk Snel, '55; Phyllis Voysey, '54, and Don Young; '55. The title Reporter covers a multitude of jobs, and most of the people above have spent time working on one part of the paper. In addition to covering news stories, which almost everyone does, some specialize in writing features. These include the weekly columns as well as special stories. The major part of the work on the paper is included in what is called processing. Stories have to be read and corrected, and headlines written, and once they arg Lafore Explains British Elections And Background In Collection last Thursday morning Mr. Lafore of the History Department addressed the student body on the subject of the "Background of the British Elections." He maintained that although there appeared to be considerable difference of opinion between the Laborites and Tories, especially as regards foreign policy and Socialism, this disagreement was on a fairly superficial level, and that there was, in actuality, an extraordinary amount of basic agreement. To understand this unusual situation, he said, it is necessary to consider the development of the British economy in the Nineteenth century, with its accelerated decline in the Twentieth. After having been the world's greatest economic power for several decades, KWINK Slates Glitter Contest Swarthmore's Society of Kwlnk has announced that the annual Haverford Weekend Decorations Contest will be held again this fall. A prize will be awarded to the group of Swarthmore Jacks or Jills which erects outside its lodgings or fraternity house the display most in keeping with the spirit of the weekend. These will be judged as usual on qualities of originality, aptness, striking appearance, and extent of display. It is hinted by Pat Paterson, chairman of the contest, that this year's award will be of a more permanent nature than the football of the Swarthmore-Haverford JV football game which has been the prize in the past. Three faculty members will judge the displays, which should be ready for the critical review by eleven a. m. on Saturday, November 17. The contest is open to any hall of Parrish or any section of Wharton, the fraternity houses, Worth sections, the two Preps, Roberts, Woolman House, and the several buildings of Mary Lyons. To facilitate the judges' job, men of the Mary Lyons buildings and Woolman House should contact Pat Paterson before the morning of the seventeenth if they have decorative displays which they want judged in the contest. Selective Service Explains Chance of Dodging Draft Sixty-three per cent of the students who took the Selective Service Tests last spring and summer made a score of 70 or better, Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Service, reported. He also reminded college students that the deadline for submitting applications for the December 13, 1951, test is approaching.The new series of tests will be given Thursday, December 13, 1951, and Thursday, April 24, 1952, by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey, at more than 1,000 different centers throughout the United States and territories. The blanks may be obtained at any local board office. General Hershey stressed the importance of all eligible students taking the test, and indicated that those who do not have test scores in their cover sheets may have a "very difficult time" in convincing their local boards that they should be deferred as students. It is now too late to apply for the December 13, 1951, test. However, applications for the April 24, 1952, test are still open and they must be postmarked not later than midnight, March 10, 1952. To be eligible to apply for the test, a student must: (1) Intend to request deferment as a student; (2) be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course; (3) must not previously have taken a Selective Service College Qualification Test. The Congress, in the 1951 Dodo Stimulates Literary Talent With Cash Prize The Dodo is offering a prize of five dollars for the best prose contribution submitted by November 15, the new deadline for all material. The entries in the contest may be short Ftories, serious or humorous essays, or class or seminar papers which have been cut and edited for publication. In addition to literary material, a cover design is needed. .The staff plans to conduct an unusually vigorous selling campaign in the hope of increasing tho income of the Dodo enough to permit them to publish a more elaborate issue, containing photographs by the Camera Club and more sketches and line drawings than usual. The staff has had to give up its plans for a three-college issue because the Bryn Mawr and Haverford magazines have suspended publication. Only highbrow literature will be accepted. Senior Elections The senior class elected Evans Burn class president in elections held last Wednesday, October 31. Tom Reiner won the* vice - presidency, Amy •Blatchford is secretary, and Dick Willmott becomes treasurer.Lafore Pens 'Harper' Piece The November number of Harper's Magazine will feature within its pages "The Millionth Frenchman," a humorous piece by Swarthmore's Laurence D. Lafore, assistant professor of History. The article recalls Lafore's experiences with the American Embassy in Paris before and after V-E Day. It laughably recounts the joint efforts of the Embassy and the Office of War Information to fuse the alarming cleavages in Franco-American friendship. Gallic resentment ran high on the alleged slowness in the Allied liberation and repatriation of French's POW's, conscript laborers, and political prisoners formerly committed to Nazi clinks in the Fatherland. Although U. S. authorities had liberated most of the prisoners and had sent them homeward by the end of May, '45, the skeptical French couldn't be convinced of the rapid efficiency the Yanks possessed in cutting the shackles of Hitlerism. To curb the fomenting wrath of the Frenchmen ,the U. S. Embassy and the OWI contrived a publicity stunt which would entail a Parisian gala ticker-tape welcome to the millionth American-liberated prisoner of Nazi tyranny. Lafore chronicles the exhaustive but rewarding search for the millionth POW, the latter's refusal to return to the City of Light and leave his lucrative job in Germany as handyman at a British DP camp, and the unique plane trip back to Paris. SC Buys Mimeograph, Completion of Improvements As the first item upon the agenda, the Student Council last Sunday evening purchased a mimeographing machine for student use. The machine will be located in the Printing Club Room in the basement of West Trotter. For the remainder of this semester, Pat Bryson, Ev Burn, and Bill Sutton will be in charge of administering its operation, with Pat being in charge of the books. The machine will be available to all students and all activities on campus. When students wish to use the machine, they will obtain the key from any one of the three persons . on the committee, who will also provide instructions. They may purchase paper and stencils in the book store; ink will be provided with the machine. A 15c assessment will be made for each stencil | that is used on the machine. A discussion that has been continuing for several weeks was concluded with the adoption of definite criteria for deciding if a student activity shall receive a Green Card Fund allotment. Utilizing a report from the budget committee i concerning the precedents used up j to this time for alloting funds, the Council approved the following i points: the activity must be of Outers to Rough Night in Bed Bag In Appalachians The Outing Club is gallivanting off campus next weekend, November 10 and 11, on a pack trip in the Appalachian Mountains. Carrying food, sacks and blankets, more than fifteen hikers will leave campus at 12:45 Saturday and start off in cars for the mountains. They plan to spend the night in sleeping bags and return to college Sunday afternoon. A group from Princeton who first planned to go on this trip will not join the Outing Club this time, but they plan to combine activities later. The club is also planning a hamburger supper in the lodges before the Hamburg show, November 16. The cost will be seventy-five cents Lange Optimistic Over Production; Features Thespians of Varied Pasts By Jay Levine Coveted principal roles for LTC's production of Othello, planned for the nights of December 6, 7 and Bth, have been completely cast. A few of the twelve extras are still being sought. Supporting the leads of Othello—Jay Finkel, Desdemona —Carol Thompson and lago—Jim Cox, the other principles are Cassio—Phil Price/ the Duke of Venice—Mort Miller, Brabantio George Papanek, Rodrigio—Charles Torrey, "Emelia—Bunny Peterkin, Bianca—Mary White, Montano Dick Carle, Lodovico—Martin David, and Crantiano—Paul Noyes. Mrs. Barbara Lange, Director of Dramatics, states that the production should be the best in her six years at Swarthmore. This will be LTC's second Shakespeare production under ber- As You Uke It, in ; the Globe Theater version, a cme hour rendition first offered and popularized at the Chicago World's Fair, was given here on May Day, 1949 in the amphitheater, j Last year The Tender Branch had its debut here, attracted city critics, and won a passing review in Variety, the bible of the enter, tainment world.

set uiD in type at the planter's, proofread for typographical errors. The paper is then "made up" on Monday afternoon at the printer's. All of these jobs are done by crews that work in the Phoenix office on Thursday and Monday nights, and at the printer's on Friday afternoon, Monday morning and Monday afternoon. While most of the people who work on the newspaper do all of these things at one timg or other, experience and class schedules help to separate the staff into groups which specialize. Promotions on all levels, as well as all policy decisions, are made by the Editorial Board which is composed of the editors, the senior editors and the business manager. Amendments to the Universal Military Training and Service Act. authorized the President to provide for the deferment of any categories of persons whose activity in study is necessary to the maintenance of the national health, safety or interest. The criteria for deferment as a student is either a satisfactory score (70) on the Selective Service Test or satisfactory rank in class (upper half of the freshman class, upper two-thirds of the sophomore class, upper three-fourths of the junior class). Seniors at graduate school satisfy the criteria if they stand in the upper half of their classes, or make a score of 75 or value to its members and of value directly or indirectly to the college; membership in the activity must be open to all students of the college; no individual member of the activity may receive financial profit; with due regard to its nature, the activity must hold enough student interest to warrant its receiving funds; the activity must not express a partisan view in local, state, or national election nor may it be connected with an organization that has a partisan policy in any local, state, or national election. A further amendment, which states in principle that any campus group receiving money from an outside national organization shall not receive additional funds from the Gi»en Card Fund, was added to the last point. Two students, Anne Mott and Tom Reiner, were added to the Quaker Concern Committee to replace graduates. Norm Green, who is also on the committee, gave a brief summary of the Committee's work, which includes the establishment of an International Relations Department at Swarthmore. The Committee is composed of student, faculty, board of managers, and administration representatives.The Continuity Committee of the Council reported that an additional phone has been placed in Parrish and that a walk has been laid from Trotter *as the result of its activities. A letter from President Nason informed the Council, which had protested against the change in library hours this year, that the library will resume its hours of last year on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Concluding its session for the week, the Council voted to substitute their scheduled Collection program on November 29 for a program by the College Community Chest. better on the test. Students already enrolled in graduate schools may be deferred so long as they remain .in good standing. These criteria are only guides and the local boards are not bound to follow them. General Hershey remarked that when the Selective Service college deferment plan was first announced last spring objection was heard that the plan gave preferred treatment to the comparatively small number of "bright boys" who could afford to go \sy college. He said he believed that virtually all of the opposition on this ground has been dissipated, due to a recent survey showing that fewer than 25 per cent of college students are solely dependent upon their parents. He also stated "I believe the country is aware that it is logical to defer those with demonstrated ability, instead of gambling on those with lower capacity." "Deferment" means that a registrant shall have his service delayed or postponed until he completes his education. It is by no means an. outright exemption. The Amendments to the Universal Military Training and Service Act provide that any registrantregistrant who was in a deferred classification on June 19, 1951, or who was thereafter placed in a deferred classification shall remain liable for training and service until he reaches the age of 35. Therefore, any registrant deferred now as a student will be required, if physically fit, to serve two years in the armed forces sometime before he becomes 35. or a dollar. Thanksgiving they will spend Wednesday and Thursday at the WAA cabin and have Thanksgiving dinner there. Coming activities this semester include a tour of Philadelphia and a bowling party. Wonderland Comes to High School Gym Dance Diversity Promised For Coming Caper Last week-end was the WSGA Formal. A little less than two weeks from now is Haverford Week-end, with another big dance. That adds up to quite a bit of ballroom dancing of the common American variety. Accordingly, the Social Committee will present the pause that refreshes this Saturday night. The affair will be held in the Hall Gym from 9:00 until, 12:00 and will be a sort of danct* jamboree with an international flavor. Emphasis will be on dances which are usually somewhat neglected in the usual "big dance" waltzes, polkas, folk dances, dances of other lands, with an occasional square thrown in to boot. Our own Irene Moll will preside over the diverse capers. It is hoped that arrangements can be made to have as guests on campus for the dancing some students from International House in Philadelphia. These might include some groups who. could demonstrate and teach some dances of their native lands. Swarthmore's foreign students especially are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to take part in the local demonstration of international color or at least to mee* some of the interesting people from International House. The Social Committee wishes to emphasize that Saturday night's get-together is not planned as a convention of professional dancers. The professionals are welcome, are urged to attend, in fact, but the dancing will generally be conducted for the benefit of the beginner. The dances will be explained and demonstrated, so that even those who don't dance very well should be able to follow along and have fun doing it. Social Committee Expresses Thanks For WSGA Help To the Editor: We would like to express our grateful thanks to all who woi'ked so hard on the WSGA formal. Special thanks should be extended to Pat Bryson, Fred Mangelsdorf, and all who helped create a veritable "Wonderland"; Mr. Bancroft and the other members of the delightful quartet who entertained us; Mary, Wren, Doc Rorer, and their helpers who satisfied our material needs with ice cream; and Jane Stevenson and her gang who got up on Sunday morning to clean up. We would like to mention that there will be another big dance on the night of the for which we will need a lot of help. If you weren't able to help this time, there's still as much need for your talejjt in two weeks' tim*. Sincerely, Rosemary Foulger Richard Taeuber Co-chairmen Social Com. WSGA Antics Subordinate Males to 'Weaker Sex'Role By Siskin You can tell a Swarthmore man. about a mile away," until it's WSGA. Then the dirty dungarees change to an interest in haberdashery, etiquette books do a rapid turnover in the libe—but it's to no avail. Things are much too confused for even Miss Post. WSGA is a time of irreconcilable dichotomies. As soon as goy asks birl everything is as it shouldn't be. Overheard in Wharton: over the washbowl, early Saturday a.m. of the Formal: Giggle, giggle, Guess who asked me to the dance, Pete?, Joe asked, pirouetting around the floor on his toes. Who?, eagerly returned Pete, busy inspecting the bags under his. eyes in the mirror. Fifi Latrec, he sighed, and then launched into a panegyric about his date. Tall, blonde and so athletic. She's first string hockey and a contender for all-Philadelphia. You don't mean it!, Pete gasped, then sadly, Boy am I stuck. That Sue Zebron caught me off guard, and before I could think of a good excuse, I accepted. She can't even dance, to top it off but anyhow it'll be fun to go and see everybody. I am going to sleep all afternoon to get in a good mood for tonight. "I wish I could, but I have to go down and watch Fifi play in the hockey game this afternoon. How those gals can play all afternoon in that rain and snow, then go to the dance tonight—makes you glad to be a boy, doesn't it?" Later: "Did you get your flower yet, Joe?" "Yes, and it's a beaut! A monstrous red carnation." "No kidding, that's swell! I got a white one, but it isn't very big. That girl is awful scotch, I'm beginning to suspect. I have to dash and get ready, she said she'd pick me up at 9, and it's almost 5 now. See you later." Even later:' "I'm so excited. I'm all thumbs. Will you tie my tie for4he—l never get it right. Mmmmm, what kind of hair tonic are you using? Smells wonderful—could I borrow some 2" "Sure, but .be careful of it—im- imported stuff, you know. Hey, how do I look?" "Wonderful! You look absolutely stunning in black and tftat is the perfect contrast. Here they are. Guess we've kept them waiting long enough, let's go!" Parrish, same evening about 8:30: "Are -you going to the formal tortight?", Fifi yawned. Yeah, don't feel to& much like it tho. I don't get too fexcited about dances, never did:" Sue answered. That's how I've always felt too. How boys can get so worked up about a WSGA formal is beyond me. Guess we ought to get ready, Sue," "I'd rather stay here and play bridge." "Come on—throw on something and let's go." "Just a second—OlO'm ready, bet those boys will be hours late." Cheshire Cat Grins, Blinks; Alice Stares Last night in the High School uym about 300 females whirled around the floor in the arms of the men of their choice at the WSGA formal. All the couples had a marvelous time stumbling after Alice and the White Rabbit on their path through Wonderland. The decorations, created and executed under the direction of Pat Bryson and Fred Manglesdorf, represented the main events in Alice and Wonderland and featured such brilliant characters as the Cheshire Cat who first appeared and then disappeared leaving just his leering smile, the Mad Hatter who was giving Alice an un-birthday party, Alice, the White Rabbit, Tweedle-de-dee and Tweedle-de-dum, and all the other character# so well known to all of us. The music for the dance was provided by the King's Men orchestra under the direction of Fred Strohm. During the intermission entertainment was provided by the Squirrel and his Three Nuts, a barbershop quartet composed of Dennv Bancroft, Bob Stewart, John Wrtrtock, and Gene Cummins, who thrilled the throng present with song after song. The first part of the intermission was supervised by the Refreshments Committee, headed by Mary Wren and Doc Rorer, who served those present ginger ale and vanilla ice cream. Sunday morning things came to an end with the cleaning up of the gvm, under the direction of Jane Stevenson. Romo Foulger and Dick Taeuber wish to thafik all those others who helped with the decorating on Saturday before the dance, serving refreshments. cleaning up, or helping in any other way to make this dance one of the most successful that the College has had. Shots of WSGA Formal show (top), decor, mobile and otherwise; and (bottom) behind the scenes work of serving, creating Wonderland. 2 THE SJVARTHMORE PHOENIX Tuesday, November 6, 1951 Council...

Britain was faced, in the early 1900's, with increasing competition for overseas markets, obsolescent industrial equipment at home, and the necessity to part with reserves of foreign currency to procure foodstuffs from abroad for her excessive population. This,, a bad situation in itself, was hopelessly aggravated by the tremendous sacrifices occasioned by the First World War. The general condition of economic decay attended by increased loss of foreign revenues and wide unemployment in heavy industry at home continued throughout the years between the wars. Foreign tariffs forced England finally, in 1932, to abandon her traditional policy of free trade and the government came more and more to accept responsibility for full employment and adequate operation of industries. Government had to exercise great controls to maintain solvency in numerous industrial fields. On top of this, the growth of democracy in Britain gave rise to demands for benefits for the working classes which only the government could provide. Thus there was in the years before the latest war a steady tendency towards collectivization. This situation was brought to its present state by the Second World War. I Rather thah'institute a suicidal 1 policy of reduction of labor costs or encourage mass emigration, the government has determined to hang on as best it may, bolstering itself by any stop-gap measures that may seem expedient. This has led to increased specialization, merely a continuation of the tendencies clearly exhibited in the 1930'5. • * •••• The type of po'ifcy which either party might adopt severely limited by the present rigorous economic conditions; Thus it is that we find no basic difference between the Conservatives and the Socialists, since they feel -the severe exigencies of the situation can be met in only one way. in Nantucket, Mass. Now he is also serving as Mrs. Lange's asistant director. Mort Miller's previous association with LTC has been primarily in the make up and publicity departments, although he played in the Tender Branch last year. With his high school group, he held major roles in Barriers The Admirable Crichton and The Importance of Earnest. Charles Torrey, who will play Rodrigio, was president of his high school dramatic association and played Randolph in A Date With Judy, and David in Claudia in local productions. Dick Carle's is a typical Horatio Alger story, from bit parts in high school to an enviable role here. Brabantio George Papanek the Captain in G & S's H.M.S.

Paul Noyes played" in ten high school productions including three at the Dulwich School, England where he spent his senior year on a scholarship. Mary White played the drunken nurse in her high school presentation of Cynthia,- and last year was in G and S's chorus. Mrs. Lange herself has had ample Shakespearian experience. She played Juliet in a Bucknell University production of Romeo and Juliet Aat employed professionals for the tr/o leads and was a major in A Winter's Tale at Yale. Following Othello, which in terms of finances willbe more than a major production, LTC plans a round of one acts, and another full length production in the spring.

Pechan Bill Among the bills awaiting the reconvening of the Penn- , sylvania State Legislature 011 December 10 in Harrisburg is , the Pennsylvania Loyalty, Act, known better as the Pechan ( Bill. If adopted, this measure could conceivably spell the end ( of free thought and expression in all the state's higher educa- ■ tional institutions, including Swarthmore College. On the C surface the Pechan Bill presents the face cultivated for it by its supporters—that of a mere loyalty oath bill containing provisions that "110 good American" would hesitate to sign. But upon closer examination its implications may be seen to broaden so far as to undermine the bases of our freedoms, and specifically that of academic inquiry and expression which is so apparent and precious an asset at our college. Soon copies of the bill will be posted on the bulletin boards by the Student Council Committee on National and International Affairs. We recommend its contents to your close attention ; for, as we see their meaning, they are capable of setting into action a dry rot of the very fabric of our liberties which can affect us all in college and in our lives to come, no matter | what our occupation or political viewpoints may be. Even in j essence, the Pechan measure is far more than a mere loyalty oath requirement for state employes and public school teachers. Every "appointing authority" in the state is empowered to ask of all present and future employes any "material" questions under any rules deemed advisable for ascertaining that they are not "subversive persons." A "subversive per- j son" is defined as anyone who has ever advocated the forceful or violent overthrow of the governments of the Commonwealth | of Pennsylvania 01* of the United States, xDr is knowingly a member of any organization thus subversive. Finally the employee must take an oath stating that he has never had in the pMTtind never plans in the future any association with such fl&tlvities. The implication here is clear. "Subversive" has been defined so loosely as to leave open for attack any group of citizens or students with any interest in any aspect of government in Commonwealth or nation, depending merely on what political persuasion holds power at any given moment in Pennsylvania as a whole or any "political sub-divisions thereof." Add to this the clincher clause that "evidence in proceedings taken pursuant to this act. . . shall not be restricted by the rules of evidence and procedure prevailing in the courts. All relevant evidence of reasonable probative value may be received," and we are faced with the totalitarian principle of unsubstantiated testimony from any source being used upon individuals with no guaranteed right to be heard in their own defense. In brief, these are the main provisions and implications of the Pennsylvania Loyalty Act. What have they to do with us. as students of Swarthmore, and especially with those of us who.live out of Pennsylvania? First, there is the mere presence* of such repressive and anti-democratic legislation anywhere in the land. Even though we may feel ourselves immune to it, it both creates and is symptomatic of an unhealthy, fearridden climate of opinion which, in a society such as ours, cannot help but fester and grow into nation-wide proportions to affect all our citizens. We cannot fool ourselves into believing that the Pennsylvania legislature in passing this bill would be alone in its super-patriotic zeal to protect the political purity of its people in these times of mass liberal-phobia. 'A Little Behind'Is Worthless; Fall Far to Feel the Freedom by Siskin There are many things you can ] get behind—a horse, a steering ! j wheel, an iron curtain; and, by the ] same token, there are things that j can get behind you—Satan, for one. C Closely related to the Devil behind i you is the prospect of your work ] being before yeu—or you, behind j it. About this time in the semester, with football games pressing hard i on the heels of lovely afternoons wasted in the best pantheistic fashion—watching the leaves fall—you „ wake up with a terrible pounding in your head, violent twitching of your conscience, and a traumatic experience on your hands—or rather, in your bed. You, my friend, C A.RE BEHIND! Now don't panic, j Keep cool, but do not freeze, as £ someone once cautioned the may- £ onnaise jar! "Behind" is, in itself, : a very innocuous term. According \ to Webster's Superior Dictionary, , "behind" means "at the back of; ] I in the rear of it; remaining after; ( inferior to";—or, if you like the , word as an adverb, "at the back; , in the retir; towards the back; out of sight; past in point of time". Selective perception leaves us with "inferior to" and "out of , sight". Granted that we are always grossly inferior to the amdVnt of work that could be ideally accomplished by ideal people in an ideal ■ world, but when the work gets out of sight—then it's time to get worried! As you see the tail end of , the work you're supposed to have C finished disappearing rapidly over ! the rim of the horizon, dragging j behind it an ever increasing chain ' of "to-be-done" items, different reactions begin to take place in the I various observers of this phenom-' ena We have four of these observers | reposing on the chairs of Parrish , porch right near our hidden micro- i phone. Perciva the Panicky, upon ! losing the last glimpse ©f her work j as it goes under the underpass, im- ; mediately starts up, trembling vio- j lently, and clutches her books to j her heaving bosom. With eyes roll- i ing wildly, and teardrops forming j in the corner of her eyes, she im- : ploringly asks the assembled j throng, "What shall I do? Oh! i heavens, I'll get an 'E' and flunk | out. What will mother say? Oh! dear, oh! dear, —oh!" Unival the . Uncaring, blase and cosmopolitan to the core, straightened his black rep tie, pulled up his hand-knit argyles, took a long drag on his cigarette and nonchalantly watched his train of work disappear with the last sight of the 1:20 local, j Then he exhaled, crossed his gray j flannels, and went to sleep. Cytrisis j the Cynic regarded his work being j dragged out of sight by George, j the mutt, around the side of, Clothier down towards the ginko j trees. "What a fitting end to such , a bunch of foul assignments", he commented, smiling wryly and wrinkling his nose In disgust at the gyrations of Perciva. "Gad! woman, you ought to be glad, instead of carrying on so. Now that you're .too far behind to ever catch up—re- j lax, kid, and enjoy the place. No sense in beating your brains outtake a lesson from the squirrels and . . At this point his panegyric was interrupted by some real salt tears from the panicky quarter. Devinor the Determined buckled on his Parker 51 and his canfeen full of "No-slop No-blot" and stood up with a furrowed brow. 1., After peering intently at the rapid l course his work was taking down . the path to the libe for a moment, he smote his breast three times J with his fist, took in five large draughts of autumnal haze through his pores and other orifices, then ' spoke in these well chosen words. 5 "I'm determined to catch up now" no more goofing off! I'm going I down to the libe and really grind I all afternoon. I'm not going to let . it get me down." So with this, off He went. • Now, dear reader, to quote an Elizabethan phrase, don't get the idea that these characters are symbolic of some higher moral meaning, and that this author is necessarily dedicated to the proposition that no one should ever get behind. Far from it! Some of the most horrible ecstasies of remorse would never get suffered, no cynical approach could ever be tried to rationalize the lack of previous concentration things academic, no blase front could be practiced to fool ourselves and the world into thinking that we really didn't care, and no bright visions and ingenious schemes could ever be hatched to overtake the work "out of sight"; in short, it is a self-inflicted torture in the best collegiate manner. "What ho Devinor! Where are you going, my dear fellow? ... To the ville for a cup of coffee? . . . Bui I thought you said . . . Oh! I get it, you like being behind . . . oh! pavdon me." Mary Bull Senses Stimulation Of Overly Intense Academia by Pete Bart "The thing I liked best about Swarthmore was that during the first week, no one paid any special attention to me." Mary Bull smiled and added, "That was a very pleasant experience. I began to think that all Swarthmoreans were either very shy or else very considerate. It took me about a month to learn the truth." Her dog, Tisket, emitted , a few loud sniffs of assent, then stretched out on the floor meditatively.The process of facing up to those various pleasant or harsh realities ; which are vaguely termed "truth", Is not a new one to Mary. Neither is that of adjusting to educational j institutions. The junior from Sa- 1 vannah graduated from a New England school for the blind, and then attended Wesleyan College of Georgia for a couple of semesters. She was attracted to the latter only because of its proximity to her home. After a few months, however, she was ready to wash her i hands of both the college and the locality. "I got tired of not doing any work," she complained. It was then that she began to contemplate the possibilities of transferring to our Pennsylvania ' ivory tower of higher learning. "I guess it was the excellent academic standards, and also the co-educational set-up that drew my atten- i tion. There were other factors too that are hard to put your finger ! on." For the benefit of the freshmen, these strange "other factors" | might properly be classified as Swarthmoric-academia, a disease that inflames the ego, enshrouds the id and causes elephantiasis of the intellect. Students inflicted with j this malady are compelled to read at least 600 pages a day, spew out i no less than 100,000 words an hour and sleep no more than 4 hours a night. Like others who have contracted Swarthmoric - academia", Mary Bull "had no choice but to matriculate at Swarthmore. "I didn't find the work to be ex- difficult, but it takes up a lot of time. I have readers coming in every evening and I also use talking books a lot (records)." The "readers" are students who volun- j teer their assistance. The system j becomes impractical, though, in the j Novel and Cervantes courses. "It's sort of "impossible to have all of Tom Jones read to you out loud." j Mary Is majoring in Spanish. I II ?r long-range goal is to become a Spanish professor at a small college. "I feel that my place is not among blind people. The blind need the help of those who can see."' How about the sturm and drang of mental adjustment to one's handicap? Mary affirms that everyone' must thrash that out for himself. It is, after all, a matter of personal adjustment. "I was luckier 'than some. I lost my sight when I was only 6 months old. I hadn't acquired many habits that had to be changed habits pertaining to sight, I mean." Most of you have observed posters hanging on the various bulletin boards warning against petting Mary's dog. These signs were not designed to give the impression that Tisket is ferociously inclined towards those who lay innocent hands upon her. In reality, the reason why Tisket is not to be petted is due to the faot that she is too good-natured. If the dog sights a friend while guiding Mary on the way to a class, she will interrupt her journey in order to pay a visit. Needless to say, this would pretty well wreck her master's discipline. Tisket's best friend, perhaps it would be more accurate to say Tisket's only friend, must be Mary. As was stated earlier, Mary Bull found the first weeks at Swarthmore very much to her liking. Like the majority of blind people, she too had frequently been plagued by those two-headed, yet well meaning monsters who hoist person and dog across crowded intersections, gushing pity laden sentiments into one ear, blurting pseudo-sympathetic sweet-nothings into the other. Mary found none of these public nuisances at Swarthmore. For once no one paid very much attention to her at all. "It was really a pleasure to,be ignored for a while." As the months wore on, she made a large number of very good friends. She came to have a deep respect and fondness for Swarthmore students. At the same time, she sought to understand why Swarthmore students act like Swarthmore students. In some way the general social atmosphere here was different from those of the other institutions she had attended. "Somehow Swarthmore didn't seem to be as friendly as at Wesleyan. People here weren't as genuinely interested in one another." Mary feels that Swarthmore students are "intellectual" . . . "cold" . . . perhaps a little "too smart." Yet, in spite of all this, burdened with "inferiority complexes." Perhaps it's due to excessive academic competitiveness, perhaps to an overabundance of hyper - intellectuals. Possibly Swarthmoreans work too hard, don't work at the right things, think too much, think too much about themselves. Maybe we're all in too much of a hurry, rushing to class perpetually one minute late, sprinting to the libe to get the General Reserve book everybody's after, stampeding to lunch to beat the 12 o'clock hordes, driving to finish that paper in time, pushing for dates, pressing for marks. Whatever the causes may be, at least the effects are evident. As \ termed by Mary: "Swarthmore is a ' wonderful school, a brilliant school '. . . But it isn't exactly what one would call a 'warm' school." V Mary Bull and Tisket Tuesday, November 6, 1951 4 THE SWARTHMORE PHOENIX ztkmozs.

And the repression in the future could turn in any political direction opposite that of the currently ruling power. Thus we are all under the fire of totalitarianism unless we are politicaleunuchs entirely. But more specifically, we are vitally concerned here at Swarthmore right now. One of the measure's chief provisions is a "loyalty" oath for all teachers and professors in public schools and educational institutions supported in any part by. the state. We fall under fire here in two very tangible regards. First, our faculty is part of a nation-wide academic community whose entire liberty and incentive for original research in any field is weakened when any part of its membership is invaded by repressive laws. To think that we are a secure ivory tower whose members are immune to the tides of the political seas around us is a, self-destructive as well as a selfish illusion. Second, there is the possibility that as a taxexempt institution we could in the future be considered as profiting from state or local aid and thus have our faculty fall under the Pechan provisions. We need not dwell on what such an event would mean to the freedom of thought, opinion; and expression which is making us well-nigh unique among colleges today, and which we all cherish so highly regardless of our politics. 1 Those are the issues aiid their importance as we see them, The Phoenix urges all Swarthmore students to read the bill, think the questions we have raised through for themselves, and then act to prevent the passage of the legislation on December 10. Students who reside in Pennsylvania should write to their,state representatives urging rejection of the bill and attempt to persuade as many voters as they know to do likewise. Non-resident students should follow the same methods "insofar as they are able to do so and work through the Student Council National and International Affairs Committee, and whatever campus political organizations they think reputable and effective to influence opinion against the measure. The faculty a;)d administration can exert incomparably greater inbuencein all these ways and should continue and redouble their efforts. - The freedom and strength of our colleges and our nation are at stake December 10 in Harrisburg. Let us act. Aroused Elverson Friends Rally En Masse To Attack Letter Questioning His Sincerity To the Editor: In regard to the unfortunate lettor which appeared in the Phoenix last week, the football team would like to make the following statement:We are in no way sympathetic to the feeling so viciously expressed against Coach Elverson in that letter. The frame of mind of the team was good during the practice week and throughout the game. The desire to win was never lacking. We appreciate the long hours spent by Coach Elverson during I he days and nights of the week preceding the game to equip us with a new and sound offense, a (jood workable defense, and a confidence that with our share of the breaks we could defeat this admitiodly stronger team. Our coaching staff has done a splendid job, and we are sure that they shall continue to do so. We are behind them 100 per cent.

Bruce, Michael Freilich, Dick j' Kohls . ♦ ♦ ♦ To the Editor and Phoenix Readers: I may be sticking my neck out, but after reading the letter that appeared in this column last week concerning the recent F&M game, I couldn't help wanting to try and correct the grossly erroneous picture as presented by the author, or authors, of that letter, to say nothing of refuting the disgraceful slander against Mr. Lew Elverson, our football coach (and I mean coach in every sense of the word). First, as a member of the football squad, I had an opportunity to play in the game. The team did not throw in the towel—on the first play, or on any play throughout the €0 minutes of the game. F&M has a good team, and on the first play of the game they proved it by making an almost impossible interception, and subsequently scoring on a sheer power play. Swarthmore was in the hole, but didn't quit. We made several defensive mistakes, and inadvertently left an opening which F&M exploited for two quick scores, before the error was discovered. After that the game settled down. As for the "SMU Offense that faintly looked like the Smedley Day Nursery," there was a definite reason behind it. Coach Elverson, thank God, is a realist and knows what the score is at all times, and we play each game accordingly. He recognized the fact that F&M had a big, tough team, and as our team is rather small, especially the backs, saw the futility of trying to overpower them, and running the risk of so crippling ourselves as to be in no condition to play the remainder of our schedule. He therefore decided to employ an offense that was not only a constant scoring threat, but also as a means to insure his team against needless injuries. Again, F&M had a good team, and their first string played most of the time, while we cleaned the bench and let everyone have a crack at it. We did score two T.D.'s in five minutes in the third period. If the team had quit on the first play, how do our anonymous scribes explain this? In the two years I have played for Lew Elverson I have come to appreciate his character and coaching ability, and if one were to speak to members of the squad, he would find the opinion unanimous in Lew's favor. Very few people fully appreciate the job Coach Elverson does at Swarthmore—in merely getting a team on the field each Saturday. When a coach faces the situation of having more uniforms than men to put into them, and still turns out a team as spirited and as crowd pleasing as this year's aggregation, he must have somethingand it's not an "I-don't-give-a-damn" attitude either! The team is behind Lew all the way, all the time. That this disgraceful letter was ever written is unfortunate. That it was published is worse the whole affair has a very bad taste, and I hope that this letter, and any others on the subject will |e published and help set right the uncalled-for attack on and insult to both the team and the coach. Sincerely, Dana W. Swan ♦ ♦ ♦ •Dear Editor and all interested: Here are some things you may not know from having read the "smear" which covers the bottom of page 5 of the October 30 issue of the Phoenix. To be a football player representing a school righteously dedicated to deemphasis of particular sports and then to compete against football players representing schools having much stronger squads is to be a martyr to the cause of true sport. Perhaps this doesn't impress people who do not have any feeling for true sport so I shall continue. To be a coach of a Swarthmore football team requires A combination of talents. The coach must maintain the high standards of this institution; he must be able to field a team built mostly from raw materials rather than from finished products of big high schools; he | must face the apathy or laxness i toward sports which can be found j in a student body of purportedly • higher than normal intelligence; he must be able to play the game for the game's sake; he must be able to outfit the team on a limited scale; and he must be willing to accept defeat In cases where a more equal match would have resulted in victory. I believe I can speak for those who know our football coach when i I say he has not failed to maintain this combination which Swarthmore wants and needs. For those who know Lew Elverson and who disagree with me, let them either come out for football and find out for themselves or let them, if they are already out for football and still disagree (if indeed there are any such persons), cease coming out as they are a detriment and disgrace to the squads, the coaching staff, and the spirit of the College. But perhaps this fails to impress people who do not know Lew and who are not bothered with smearing of reputations and so I shall continue. To observe and report and be in error is natural, but to observe and , report and willfully be in error i with intent to mislead to the point ,1 of slandering unjustifiably is un»f natural and defiles the ethical and moral principles of Swarthmore. The unsigned letter is in error both in basic concept and in factual detail. Its purpose is to deceive the Phoenix readers. The basic concept is reputed to be that Lew Elverson isn't concerned whether we win. lose, or draw and that such an attitude can be well done without. This is both a calculated misinterpretation of actual attitudes and a fallacious misrepresentation of the facts. An axe is being ground. For factual details ask Bob Asplundh, Bunky Blake, Dave Harvey, Dick Kohls, or Len Dettmers, to name some examples, whether anyone got hurt. Our defenses (4-5 and 8-2 man lines) and our offense ("SMU passing") had been worked out well in advance by the coaching staff as being the best possible strategy to employ against a much more expei'ienced squad. We worked on them all week. The writers of unsigned letters are obviously better informed on the game of football. In the first half our first and second strings battled against F. & M.'s legions and the result was 33-0 in favor of F. & M. In the second half everyone played and the resulting scoring was 20-13 in favor of F. & M. Is anything wrong with letting everyone play? And on the way home, I, for one, and everyone else that I know of, did NOT sing as reputed in the October 30 Phoenix. Why should we? we have no wish to sing unsigned lyrics. And trusting it is not the policy of the editor of the Phoenix to publish only those letters which are unsigned, I am, Sincerely yours, Ev Burn Varsity football squad 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951 ♦ ♦ ♦ To The Phoenix: Four or five years ago the University of Illinois started off its football season by being swamped by a Notre Dame team that eventually became No. 1 in the nation, and immediately alumni and students started chanting in unison that Ray Eliot must go. Some months later, after his team had wrapped up the Big Ten title and swamped U.C.L.A. in the Rose Bowl game, Eliot was being carried around the campus on people's shoulders and feted at numerous banquets by enthusiastic alumni, who soon saw to it that he was given a five-year contract. Harry Stuhldreyer was forced from his position as coach at Wisconsin by students who raised ! "Good-bye Harry" signs in the stands during games. Poor Harry hadn't been able to win the Big Ten title with mediocre talent. The emphasis at Swarthmore has been somewhat different. We engage in spoi'ts for the fun we can have, and win, lose, or draw, we try to enjoy the game. The average Swarthmore student is presumed to have the intelligence to see that this is the sensible attitude; but some students, hiding under the cover of anonymity, lurk around the campus trying to convince us that we should commit the sins of the big time football colleges. Perhaps the athletic department cap be censured for having a team like F&M on the schedule (its' being dropped next year), but I don't think the coach should be censured for being honest. Certainly anyone with a grain of sense in his head knew that we weren't going to beat F&M, that we weren't going to do much running through their line, and that we might as well try something different. If the plan of passing from the short punt formation, with people "playing positions they had never played before," had worked, and it well could have, then the person who wrote the letter would probably be telling people what a stroke of genius it was I spent about half the game sitting next to the line coach of F&M and he mentioned several times that he thought that Swarthmore looked sharp and well-coached, and he wasn't saying that just to soothe my injured pride. In conclusion, if the person who wrote the letter is on the team, as it appears from his knowledge of everything that took place, he ought to know that no football player worth his salt is going to let down no matter what the coach or anybody else says, and I don't think he is being quite fair to his team-mates in accusing them of doing so. He makes it look as if the backs approached the line thinking, "Lew doesn't give a damn, I may as well fumble," and then proceeded to drop the ball. And if he spent a little more time observing what goes on, he might discover that Lew does give a damn. ° And, oh yes. Next time you have a gripe why don't you sign your name? John Ambruster ♦ ♦ ♦ Some excruciatingly funny person had a letter to the editor printed in last week's Phoenix. In fact the writer exhibited such a fresh and original sense of humor that a lot of people would like to know just who the clever, though bashful, one was, as the writer chose not to sign his name. Such wit should not go unrecognized. The letter in question is the'one about the F & M football game", which Swarthmore lost, 55-13. Itconsisted of several loosely-con« structed theories on why Swarthmore lost that game, most popular of which in terms of wit lavished on it was the "Lew Elverson is chicken" theory. If the funny , one is to be believed, it did the coach's heart good to see his boys absorbs licking. . , This is just so much moonshine. No coach ever enjoyed losing ta. game, and Elverson is an exceptionally fine coach. Through A the years he has developed one, fine team after another, teams thst. went out and played good football for a whole season. And that is what the witty one seems to have overlooked or forgotten: one game does not make a season, and there were three tough games left to play after the F & M game. A grandstand quarterback can forget such things, but a coach worth his. salt can't. Johns Hopkins, Drexel. and Haverford aren't pushovers, and from the overall viewpoint it was very important that the team remain at full strength for these encounters, while a foolhardy, overtaxing fight with the professionals from F & M would have left the team battered for the rest of the. season. There would have been grounds for a legitimate gripe against the coach, for in permitting I that he would have used extremely | poor judgement. However he didn't, and the little exhibition of "school spirit" (the phrase is used looselyV put forth by the mysterious one had, a distinctly bad flavor. : (signed) Frank Sievierts; Tuesday, November 6, 1951 the swarthmore phoenix 5 Pechan Bill (Continued from Page 4)

The Scorecard By Old Angus Readers of the sports pages of the nation's newspapers have to be a hardy lot these days. You must have a strong stomach not to become completely revolted by the accounts of viciousness on the football field and depravity off of it which appear almost daily in the sports news. That this football season would stink worse than any o'her was indicated as early as last August by the disclosures from West Point and William and Mary. The revelations that practically the entire Army football team had been caught violating the antiquated honor code of the Academy and that the W. and M. staff had phonied the entrance transcripts and exam marks of athletes were first of a series: of episodes which prove that college football has defiled itself. A few days ago William and Mary released its financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 4951. During that period the college spent a total of $53,923 for athletic scholarships, while $"26,163 was granted for aid to non-athletic students. Several weeks earlier the faculty of the Literary College of the University of Michigan protested against the "double standard" for athletes and for students in other extra-curricular activities. The protest opposed a ruling by the hoard in control of athletics which permitted a second-string football player to compete against Michigan State after receiving an E in Anatomy during the Spring semester. This ruling was a direct violation of the University's policies regarding participation in extra-curricular fields. W. and M. are by no means the only institutions with these perverted educational values. As any realistic sports fan knows, this sort of administrative corruption is universal in "big-time" football circles. The men directing our higher education have succeeded so well ir professionalising collage football that a state industrial commission declared that an injured football player had the same status as an injured worker in any other field of industry and was entitled to the same benefits. The Colorado State Industrial Commission decreed that Ernest E Nemeth. a Denver University tackle, in effect was hired to play football and was entitled to disability pay for a gridiron injury suffered in Spring practice. Nemeth had a part-time job which hinged entirely on his ability to make the varsity eleven. For each revelation of the rottenness of the administrative end of big-time football there has been an equally depressing story regarding the comportment of the young Goliaths who are playing for the glory of dear old State U. Who can ever forget the picture in" Life Magazine of Pat Cannamela, linehacker for the University of Southern California adorning his ape-like features with a modest grin as he accepted the congratulations of his teammates for disabling California's triplethreat fullback Johnny Olszewski? Perhaps Johnny Bright of Drake, the nation's leading ground gainer, does not see the humor of the situation. He cannot laugh because of the wires holding his shattered jaw together. After the Bright incident Willhank Smith, the gentleman who connected with two right crosses to the Drake halfback's jaw, was praised by his coach as a hard-hitting lineman. The coaches, of course, defend themselves by repeating the old bromide that football is a blood-and-guts sport and accidents will happen. The fact is. however, that in big-time college football the dividing linCD between dirty football and hard-played clean football is indistinguishable. The important thing is to win at any cost. Everything is dependent on a victorious season. The prestige of the college or university, the gate receipts which will pay for next year's team, the coach's job. and the players' peace of mind all hinge on the ability to score more points than the other team. Some people contend that college football on a big-time level is a confusing game. They say that the idiosyncrasies of the coaches which result in various formations such as the single wing, short punt, Notre Dame box, A, I, Y, T, QT double T, winged T, and split T make football difficult to understand. These observers are analyzing the game from a very narrow point of view. It is really a very simple sport. Boiled down to its essentials it can be described as a weekly event in which thirty of forty employees of one educational institution spend a couple of hours trying to maim the hirelings wearing uniforms supplied by another institution of higher learning. These men memorize hundreds of plays invented by a coach who doesn't care how many bones get broken. All he has to do to keep his job is to teach his recruits how to win. While thousands of students alumni, and other lunatics wearing chrysanthemums and blankets cheer the carnage, the college officers and board of trusties count the house. Ed Note: The Phoenix would like to apoligize for failing to give credit, to Cliff Thompson for coming through with the bases loaded while pinch hitting for Old Angus last week. Collection Cuts The procedure prescribed by the Faculty for Collection cuts is as follows: The Registrar's Office notifies a student when he has hadlwo allowed cuts per semester. On the third cut he is required to report to the Dean who is instructed to warn him Ahat the penalty for the fourth cut will be a week's suspension. For Grinds The College has announced that the library will be reopened on Friday evenings until 10 o'clock, starting, if possible, this Friday night. After the football season the library will return to its usual Saturday hours, closing at 5 o'clock. POTTER PROGRAMS FOR THE Skinner, Felix Aylmer, Basil Rath- WEEK NOV. 4-11 bone, C.

V. soccer team was defeated last Thursday by a strong team from Girard College. The score was 4-1 and although they put up a good fight Swarthmore lost to an obviously superior tenm. Girard netted its first two goals in rapid succession in the middle of the first quarter. Swarthmore countered in the second period when Ross Snyder passed to Tim Craig who blasted the ball in on a fine shot from the right side. During the third quarter the Garnet team put on its best performance of the afternoon, controlling the ball most of the time but never being able to get into position to score. Girard iced the game in the final period when they scored after six minutes of play and then chalked up another thirty-four seconds later. Dick Kipp, Ken Conrow and Duke Henderson played their usual hard-driving games on defense while Craig, Stetkewycz and Car- Lappers Out-Run; Rain Cancels Meet Swarthmore's cross- country team dropped its second home meet of the season to Lehigh last Wednesday by a score of 25 to 34. The Engineers, probably the strongest team on the Garnet schedule, simply overpowered the home team by taking first, fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth places. Dave Henderson, the Lehigh ace, led his team to victory by beating Ave Harrington, but George Hastings was right behind Avery in third place. Four out of the next five finishers, however, were Lerady were offensively outstanding. The action was generally hampered by the poor playing conditions and the goalies especially suffered because of the wet and slippery ball. Booters Level Lehigh 5-3 In Seventh Straight Success The Swarthmore Soccer Team by virtue of a hardfought victory over Lehigh last Friday on Clothier Field maintained their perfect record. Starting with a 4-1 triumph over the Alumni, the Garnet boo - ers, coached by Bob Dunn, have gone through seven official games without a setback. Sensational play by Frosh White highlighted the 5-3 win. Jim notched two penalty kicks and a third goal on a brill'ant play to bring his lirst year total to a near record lifteen counters. White Scores As a result of intermittant showers on Thursday and the morning of the game, the Held was muddy and extremely slippery. Both teams played inspired ball under the adverse conditions and the game proved to be one of the most exciting of the current season. In the first quarter Swarthmore rereived a break as a Lehigh defenseman handed the ball in their penalty zone. Jim White calmly and skillfully pushed the water-soaked ball pas. the opponent'* goal tender. However, in the second quarter Jose Calbino on a shot from the outside beat Tom Jones to even the score. Several minutes later White took a pass from the right side of the head and slipped it into the nets. This was undoubtedly one of White's finest shots for it was made from the back part of his head and with a Lehigh man on his heels. Once more Lehigh retaliated as with seconds remaining in the half, Kingham drove by several Garnet defensivemen to head a corner kick into the goal. The half ended with the teams deadlocked 2-2. In the third quarter Calbino, following in a through- pass, notched his second goal of the day. Approxi-* mately then George Place, playing with a separated shoulder, was 4? forced to retire. Snake Place deserves a great deal of credit for his inspiring spirit and his determination to play to win. The line of the Garnet booters at this point consisted of freshmen Wilkinson, White, and Inglessis with Surjo and Lohr completing the picture. Thus late in the third quarter Surjo took a direct pass from Inglessis and scored the third Garnet goal. The game went in the final stanza with the teams once more fighting to break a tie. Combo Clicks The score that finally put the Swarthmore team in the lend came on a combination play by Lohr and Wilkinson. Sophomore Lohr drove between two Lehigh defense men and dribbled to the right corner. His hard pass to the center was timed perfectly by Dave Wilkinson cu:ting in from the left and was powered into the nets. Jim White taking advantage of a seeon 1 penalty kick opportunity notched his third goal of the day and iced the game for Swarthmore. L was the lirst defeat suffered by Lehigh this season in league play, and the game, unquestionably the most important and certainly one of the hardest for Swarthmore, was a hard-fought, exciting soccer match. If the Garnet booters maintain the drive and spirit so evident in this encounter, Navy and Haverfcrd are going to face one of the outstanding collegiate teams in soccer. high men and the meet was lost. Mike Dukakis, in sixth, was the only Garnet runner to break into this scoring combination. John _ Strauss and Chuck Loucks com, p'e.ted the scoring for Swarthmore. George Hastings continues to be the most improved runner on the team. He has run better every week, until on last Wednesday he was just a few seconds behind Ave. The cross-country team was to have battled Johns Hopkins last Saturday, but the meet was cancelled due to the weather, which made the footing impossibly bad. No arrangements for rescheduling have been made as yet. The Heam has no dual meets scheduled this week as it travels to Muhlenburg Friday for the Middle Atlantic League meet. The summary: 1.

Hopkins Heralds Winter, Harnesses Garnet 39-6 By Roger Sale A flock of Blue Jays from Baltimore journeyed up to Alumni Field last Saturday and took thirty-nine huge pecks out of the turf. In exchange for this "atrocity, Swarthmore's Garnet had only a flurry or two to offer in the way of reprisal. It was in this -manner that the scoreboard read Johns Hopkins 39, Swarthmore 6 at the end of the game. The trouble was that players and spectators alike were too cold to crane their necks at the distant board when it was all over and it was getting dark rapidly. Jays Warm Up In a way, the weather was the real hero. The Blue Jays got their beaks filled but it could easily be supposed that their lips were frozen stiff as they started home. The ihermometer had dropped to a little above freezing on Thursday night and the rains came late Friday afternoon. This stopped only to let the snow take over midway through Saturday morning. And then, as the skies began to clear around noon, the bottom fell out of the thermometer which read a little over 20 degrees at the start of the game. Playing in this kind of deep freeze made it so that the home forces never really got started. They had hardly finished warming up when the score was 19-0. Hopkins was obviously up to win this one—the first of the season they had taken the precaution of running around the field for an hour before the start of the same in order to get thawed out.1 And from the way Ed Semler, Jack Lay, Bucky Myers and Augie Fortinato were running right from the start, one might have thought they were playing in Miami, Florida. None of them were too big but they were all fast and the Swarthmore defense never could quite get their frozen fingers on them. Time and again a defender would hit one of the four and time and again they would break away just as though fire was meeting ice. As stated above, the score was 19-0 before the first quarter was over. Semler had scored the first two going outside tackle and Myers had raced 45 yards around end from his T-quarterback position for the third score. All this before anyone knew what was happening. Then a Myers to Semler pass good for thirty yards set up a fourth score mid-way through the second quarter, Lay going over from the 4. Bill Seibert made the second of three conversions and it was 26-0. Throughout the entire first half the Swarthmore offense never really got moving. Once in a while Bill Jones or Nick Cusano would wr'ggle through a none-too-sharp Hopkins defense for a first down, but they never could sustain much. The blocking in the line, while looking tremendous on one play, was very inconsistent and there were a number of times when Jones and Cusano would have been away had they been given a key block— a block that never came. But it was too cold. No one ever got warmed up. At the start of the second half, Hopkins struck again. Soon after ihe kick-off the Garnet was held for downs on its own 40 after 'ailing on a fourth down and one o go situation. Fortinato then carried over guard to the 32 and Semler took a quick hand-off from Myers and skirted right end for the score. This play that produced the tally was typical. At least five defenders had their hands on Semler but not one could break through the icy coating that seemed to surround all the Garnet long enough to bring him down. Seibert converted again and it was 33-0. And then, Swarthmore took over for the first and only time during the long afternoon. Johnny Miller ran the kick-off back to the 25 and then the Garnet started to march. With Jones and Cusano doing most of the ball-handling, the local lads ripped off four first downs in a | row to the Hopkins 11. Jones went | off tackle to the six and then threw a beautiful running pass to | Cusano who had gotten behind the | Blue Jay defenders. Jone's try for point was a little wide and the score was 33-6. Hopkins, however, came right back and, mixing Myer's passing and Semler's running beautifully, scored again in nine plays with Semler going through the middle for the final six yards to cap a 59-yard drive. Everything loosened up considerably in last quarter. The Garnet kept control most of the time and they started operating out of the SMU short punt formation. Billy Jones filled the air with passes to every available receiver but once again they couldn't put together enough to sustain a drive. Jones ' was rushed a great deal of the time and he was forced to retreat so far back that many of the passes ; that were completed lost yardage. Hopkins was in possession on their own 45 when the final whistle blew. As the Garnet filed off "the field, one had the feeling that no one really knew what had happened. It I was too cold and no one had ever ; really gotten started. Injuries Abound And it looks now as though the team had to pay heavily for even playing. Frank Oski, who had improved so greatly throughout the season both as a signal caller and a blocker, had to be carried off 1 the field in the middle of the third quarter with a leg injury. The seriousness of this will not be known until X-rays are taken but the chances are that Frank will be lost for the season. Bill Fitts, playing for the first time since he injured his ankle in the Ursinus game, aggravated the bruise again and saw only limited action. Like Oski, his future is still unknown. Dave Hansen and Dave Harvey both had to be replaced because of damages incurred, and while they both returned to the game later, their playing may be hampered. In the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, there was a large photo of Jack Lay ripping off for a first down. The caption above the picture read;" Things Were Bad All Day For The Garnet." The Inquirer must be given an A for correctness although it might be pointed out that they underestimated the situation slightly. It really is rather small consolation that the players knew that the chattering of teeth was keeping good time to the chattering of the teammate next to them. If the expression is pardonable, it could even be said that the Blue Jays, with a generous assist from the weather, made the Garnet eat crow. Six Coeds Win Recognition In All-College Women's Hockey Meet An All-College Women's Hockey | Meet was held this weekend on1 the Swarthmore campus, with eleven team? from the Philadelphia area competing as teams and as individuals for places on four All-College teams. On the basis of competitions held on Saturday and . Sunday, November 3 and 4, in which six Swarthmore girls played, the four teams picked included five members of the Swarthmore team. Repeating last year's performance, Neely Wheeler, center half, again made the first team. Ann MacMillan, right inner, will play on the second, and Sue Slaugh, right front, Edith Hay, left half, and Mary Jane D'Emilo, left wing, placed on the fourth team. Also included in the final competition was Dee Webster, right half. The first three teams will compete for All-Philadelphia honors with Philadelphia hockey clubs here at Swarthmore during Haverford weekend. Three teams will then go to Boston on Thanksgiving weekend for the national meet and for the choosing of the Ail- American team. Bearcats Drop Rough Contest To-Hopkins Frosh Johns Hopkins' hard playing freshman team put down Swarthmore's Bearcats 33-12 in a rough "ame on muddy Alumni Field last Friday. The Bluejays scored on the first play of the game and the last plays of each half to build up their score. After the openirg kickoff, Hopkins passed over the heads of the Bearcats' secondary to Armand who sprinted sixty yards for the score. The first quarter.continued with neither team making deep penetrations. However, Marty Cornell, play calling wingback for Swarthmore, was injured for the afternoon in some of the typically rough play. (The game was marred by over one hundred yards in penalties, mostly against Hopkins.) Swarthmore's offense stalled in second quarter while the Bluejays tore around the ends for two successive touchdowns with another coming on a pass into the end zone as the clock ran out. Half-time score saw Hopkins leading 26-0. Apparently collecting themselves at half-time, the Bearcats showed their stuff as they outscored the opponents 12-7 in the second half. After receiving the kickoff, Swarthmore's backs punched through the line for four straight first downs. Having reached the Hopkins nine, the drive fizzled out on the one. But not for long; Hopkins punted from their end zone with Bob Griest running the ball back up the sidelines to the Bluejay thirty-two. From there, piledriving fullback Rip Broderick went through the line, and aided by two key downfield blocks, went all the way. Later in the third quarter, Fred Mangelsdorf having recovered a fumble on the Hopkins' thirty yard line, Swarthmore scored again on a sequence of plays, with Griest putting the ball over on an end run. After that, neither team was able to score; the Bearcats made a suecessfulsuecessful goal line stand as the end approached. The punt was unnecessary as the Bearcats received a first down on another Hopkins' penalty. But a Hopkins end intercepted a long pass on the next play and raced across for a score as the clock ran out, with Hopkins winning decisively. Thus again, the Bearcats showed their second half drive both offensively and defensively. The JV's have done all their scoring this season in the second half, while three-fourths of their opponents' tallies have come in the first half. Let's hope they'll get steam up sooner this Friday in their game with George School's single wing powerhouse.

Personalities... Ruff Herndon by Saul Levin Football, of course, is the college sport and Swarthmore is no exception even though it has been a number of years since a Garnet football team has won more games than it has lost. The other day we decided to find out something about the history of Swarthmore football. This was accomplished in the course of a very interesting talk with one Ruffin James Herndon. Mr. Herndon, who is better known to Hall Gym habitues as "Ruff," is the trainer of the football team in the fall and the baseball team in the spring. He was born in Virginia and after attending high school where he played a little football, he worked in a Richmond clothing storg for a short time. While working at the store he found time to play semipro football, baseball and basketball. He arrived on the Swarthmore campus in 1904 and studied Physical Training under Dr. E. K. Schell. "Ruff" turned out to be a veritable walking record book when it came to Swarthmore sports History. The years from 1904 to 1907 were very successful as far as football goes. It seems that at that time the administration was not above supplementing Swarthmore's attractiveness to athletically minded high school students through the use of financial inducements. To put it bluntly we used, you shoi'ld pardon the expression, athletic scholarships and it was not unusual for a player to play in a football game on a Saturday and then not appear on the campus until the following Wednesday for practice. However, those days are gone forever and nowadays we play for fun. There were several other outstanding football teams down through the years and in about 1937 or 1938 Lew Elverson coached the team to an undefeated season. However the climax carnc in 1942 when we went through another unbeaten season' knocking off Princeton and N Y. U. The 1946 team, although not undefeated, was still a topnotch aggregation and was led by Sam Gary, one of the East's leading passers, and Dick Esrey. Swarthmore has had several athletes who have been successful in professional competition. In football these include Les Asplundh, who played for the Atlantic City Roses and Ned Wilcox, captain of the 1925 team here. In baseball Jim Clarency pitched for the Giants and Johnny Ogden, also a pitcher, played for the St. Louis Cards. Perhaps the greatest Swarthmore alumnus to play pro baseball was George Earnshaw, who was a star pitcher for the Philadelphia A's. Then of course there is Dick Hall who signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates before the semester started. Incidentally, "Ruff" predicted that pitcher Tom Jones could if he wanted to, hurl in the major leagues. In past years the football team was inclined to be a bit mischievous at times and would let off steam by thinking up nasty little practical jokes. On one occasion several members of the team procured a cow from a neighboring farm and deftly deposited it in the women's dormitory in Parrish in the middle of the night. When morning came there was quite a bit of consternation among the inhabitants of Parrish, to put it mildly. There was once an individual on one of the teams a good many years ago named Tiny Maxwell. Tiny, who was a great football player and later an official, weighed in at a cool 300 pounds. Not only was Tiny rather thickly set but he was also somewhat of a cut-up. When an occupant of Wharton forgot his keys and was unable to get into his room, "Tiny would obligingly nudge the door, whereupon he would gingerly step into the room over the fallen door. On another occasion several enterprising members of the team obtained a cadaver from the Biology Department and, after covering it with a sheet, hung it on a tree in front of Parrish. The women in Parrish, who by this time were on their guard against stray cows, were taken by surprise by the sight of a dead body hanging from a tree outside their windows and it was some time before a girl would walk past the spot unless accompanied by several stahvarl escorts. Ruff Herndon Poetry Readers Compete Nov. 15 The Potter Poetry Reading Contest will be held in Bond at 4 P. M. on Thursday, November fifteenth. The poems should be approximately fifty lines in length.

Kee, Penh Religion Prof, Analyzes Old Testament In Second SCA Talk SCA members last Sunday heard the second in a series of talks on the Bible giyen by Dr. Howard Kee. Dr. Kee, a professor in the department of religious thought at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke this week on the Old Testament. He discussed briefly the stages of development in Hebrew religion and the sections of the Bible which show this progression. Dr. Kee's last talk, to be given next Sunday, will 'deal with the New Testament. The following week, November 18, Dave Richie, head of the Social Action Committee of the Philadelphia Friends' Yearly Meeting, will speak and show a film about work camps. Rubin Reports On Russian Hope For World Peace by Dan Rubin During the past summer I spent three weeks in the Soviet Union. I got there much the same way as did the British Quaker who spoke here a couple of weeks ago, Paul S. Cadbury. The places I visited included Moscow, Stalingrad, Thbilisi, Gori, a collective farm in the Caucasian Soviet Socialist Republic, Georgia, and others. On frequent occasions I spoke freely with many Soviet citizens. They repeatedly expressed their desire 'to liye in friendship and peace with all peoples of the world. I found no one who thought there would be a world war. Everyone expressed certainty that the Soviet Union would never attack any country. In answer to my informing them that most people in the U. S. believe the Soviet Union threatens America militarily, Soviet citizens pointed to recent trends in their economy. Prices have been going down steadily and consumers' goods are on the increase—even crucial war materiel such as gasoline. They point to their great peace-time constructions. The Soviets are building a dam and hydroelectric station at Kubishev on the upper Volga River which will produce 2,- 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year. Grand Coulee, our largest, produces 1,700,000 a year. At Stalingrad another dam which will generate as much electricity as Grand Coulee is being built. I saw the canal they are just finishing which connects the Volga and Don Rivers. The irrigation system of the canal will make arable land out ofv virtual desert. This land will produce enough wheat for 60,000,000 people. In the Central Ukraine another great transport and irrigation canal is being built down into the Crimea. Its length is 324 miles with branch canals totaling 588 miles. In middle Asia a canal "is being built across the desert for 653 miles. Its branch canals total miles. All of these projects are to be completed by 1955. Frequently the people I talked with would explain that only 21.3% of their budget is for national defense. The remainder is for national economic development and for financing social and cultural services. By virtually any method of calculation their total budget is less than ours and their military budget is much less. The Soviet people with whom I conversed asked me to explain how , a government could be pouring so . much of its economic energy into j peaceful constructions and still be i building a military machine of an ! aggressive size. I couldn't, explain it. Every medium of education vH phasizes the great need for peace in order to continue these economic advances. You don't build a 40-story Moscow University building if you expect your cities to be atom bombed. This new university building has well-equipped, single rooms for 6000 students. Even the children's toys reflect the de-emphasis on war. I never saw a toy soldier, and few children like to play with guns. Not many are made. When you see Stalingrad, a city 95 per cent destroyed by war, and" many other such cities, it is hard to believe the Soviet people would allow themselves to be led into another war. Students, workers, peasants, whomever I spoke to, all indicated their strong support of the government. They talked about the huge sums being spent on culture, education and peaceful construction by the government. These Soviet people said they wholeheartedly supported their government because it was spending for peaceful purposes. Always they emphasized that, without peace, none of these government projects would be possible.
