Meeting of YMCA on March 31 Florence Dykema of Muskegon | f e a t u r e d Rev. Malcolm Cronk of

was elected president of YWCA at the meeting held on March 31. She took office immediately and will lead the girls ' organization for the next year.

Officers for vicc-president, sec-re tary , and t r easu re r were also chosen a t this meet ing which was opened by Jeanne Swart leading the devotional period. Mae Clonan, president for the year which has just ended, presided over the elec-

be taken to impede the onrush of

inflation. For all, the grim reality

of inflation has become a hard fact

to be faced. Inflation we may de-

fine as "Rapidly r ising prices —

crazy, careening prices."

The situation is something like:

this: During 1941 there was a 10 per

cent rise in the cost of living. Off-

set t ing this was a corresponding

rise in wages and profits. We had

increased defense production and

also increased production of civil-

ian supplies. There was an in-

crease in both supply and demand

so that no grea t inflation peril was

present.

Inflation Threa tens

But the picture for 1942 is dras-

tically changed. We are faced with

the prospect of large purchasing

power, but nothing, or very little

to buy. Heavy demands for war

supplies and priori t ies are reduc^

ing the amount of goods avaUrfole

for consumers to purchase. The un-

fo r tuna te aspect of it *s t ha t our

national income is soar ing to about

$ 100,000,()()0,(K)() for 1942 and even

higher in 1943. Purchasing power

is increasing while supply is di-

minishing. The s t age is set fo r the

inflation spiral. Demand will be

disproport ionately higher than sup-

ply by about $11,000,000,000 in

1942. Left to itself this means ex-

cessively high prices. The greatest

evil of war, aside f rom casualty

lists, is lurking evil, not a remote

specter.

Present Measures Inadequate

Inflation can be prevented or at

least minimized. But it requires

action and sacrifice now. The fed-

eral government has already taken

some steps. Price ceilings, priori-

ties, joint buying to eliminate navy-

army buying competition, controls

of currency and credit , these will

help meet the problem. Most of

this is being done in a haphazard,

inefficient way of which only our

present adminis t ra t ion is capable.

Reforms are needed.

Bernard Baruch, price czar of World War I, has advocated a ceiling over all prices, wages, and fa rm prices. Based on his experi-ence in the last war he regards this as " m u s t " legislation. But his voice goes unheaded in New Deal circles.

Marr iner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Gov-ernors, has pointed to the need for raising reserve rat ios to prevent monetary inflation. No action is forthcoming. Credit must be made more s t r ingent .

Heavier Taxes Needed

A basic need, I feel, is heavier taxes to finance a t least one-half, possibly two-thirds, of our war bill as we go along. This would cut purchasing power and also keep the national debt within bounds. Sale of government bonds must be made to individuals, not banks, to make up for the remainder.

Above all, production must be encouraged. On this point there is universal agreement . Wasted t ime, fallow fields, and work stoppages or slowdowns impoverish the coun-try. We can nei ther live nor fight with money. W e m u s t have goods.

Inflation can be prevented. We must not lose the peace through a disrupted economic system and an inflated pr ice-wage s t ructure . We mus t keep our price levels down in order to en te r world mar -kets a f t e r the wa r and to pre-serve securi ty a t home. It requires government act ion and the backing of 130,000,000 Americans,

land, was chosen to be secretary, and Marian Sandee, Oostburg, Wis-consin, as t reasurer .

the C a l v a r y Undenominational church of Grand Rapids as t he speaker. Rev. Cronk spoke to the men on the subject of "Endur ing Hardness ." The talk was especially per t inent for college men in these days of war. Russ DeVette led the song service and Henry Kik the devotions.

Last evening the election of offi-jers for the coming Y year was held. Candidates for the office of president were AI Borgman and Clint Harrison. The nominees fo r the vice-presidency were Louis Chisman and Dan Fyls t ra . Candi-dates fo r secretary included Calvin DeVries, Roger Rietburg, and Le-roy Sandee.

Literary Theme at

viewed the book, "Poetry as a Means of Grace," by Charles Osgood for members of Alpha Chi on Wednesday, March 25. The meeting, which was held in the commons room, was pened by a song service led by Ray Huizenga. Harold Shaible con-ducted the scirpture reading and prayer . John Heemstra then fa-vored the group with two mar imba numbers. John played "Day Is Dy-ing in the Wes t " and "When They Ring Those Golden Bells."

Prof . DeGraaf then began his review recommending that the men read the book in i ts ent irety. He first gave a brief sketch of Char les Osgood's life and work at Prince-ton universi ty. In review of the book itself Mr. DeGraaf said:

Poetry a Supplement "Poet ry is a supplement in the

work of the minister , enabling him to have a fu l le r and richer under-s tanding of life and the need fo r grace.

The Navy Needs You, Co l lege Men;

Ships A r e N o t Enough From the Navy Public Relations Board comes a plea again

for college men to join the nav.il reserves. 44Admiral Harold R. Stark, xormer chief of naval opera-

tions, once remarked that a navy is composed of ships, men, and bases—and the most important of these are ships, men, and bases."r The interdependence of these three are clearly seen in the present battle of the seas.

The current war has imposed great demands on the U. S. Navy. Suoh a situation confronts the navy today that this volunteer service needs men to man the ships of its two-ocean fleet. It needs men with special skills and educational back-grounds—men that will be leaving our campus this spring to find their place in the country's armed service. Ships to round out the mighty Heet are on the ways, but the problem of man power cannot be met by appropriations committees and con-struction engineers.

Quoted from the release of the Relations Board is this fol-lowing statement: "Many people are not aware that it takes almost as long to make a sailor as it takes to build a war-ship—and that the navy's greatest need, at the moment, is skilled man power."

Especially instituted for college men with an educational background which is necessary for ratings and commissions, is the "V" program. The seven V divisions include: pre-indoctrination training, naval aviation mechanics, naval com-munications, naval intelligence, naval aviation cadet service, volunteer specialists, and midshipman training.

Here, men, is an opportunity for you to be insured of the opportunity to finish your collcge career and have a special place in the service reserved for you when you are gradu-ated. Here is a way for you to train for a commission and apply your training to the best, advantage for both yourself and for your country.

(gMWM to A C P ' i Jay Richter Report* liom Washington

For those who are wondering what to do dur ing a war- t ime sum-mer vacation, here 's a suggest ion: Check with your postoffice fo r t ips from your neareas t Civil Sen-ice field office on temporary jobs. In addition to whatever openings might normally appear , there a re reports that offices of "decentral-ized" government agencies are short-handed. Hundreds of their employes elected to stay behind in overcrowded Washington ra ther

than move into " the fields."

WAR . . .

Look for " reac t iva t ion" of CAA training p rograms in some 100 col-leges and universit ies where the CAA program had been allowed to lapse. The expanded program for next year, announced recently by CAA and the War Department , will require use again of dormant col-lege facili t ies, and possibly estab-lishment of new ones, too. Goals are for an increase of 20,000 in both elementary and secondary t ra ining courses. Men who are accepted will acquire s ta tus as en-listed reserves in the air corps or will, on finishing, serve as CAA Hying instructors.

Signs point to a major Washing-ton effort to sell the University of Iowa's "Phoenix Fund" post-war scholarship plan to all U. S. col-leges. If the idea can be "c leared" through t reasury depar tment big-wigs, the Depar tment ' s Defense Savings section will a t tempt to get a national educators ' committee to back the plan. This committee, in turn, would a t t empt to build up well-oiled organizat ions in college? throughout the country this spring and summer — prepara tory to a campaign splurge when fall t e rms

open. Briefly, the Iowa plan provides

that each student buy a 10-cent Deien.se Savings S t amp each week to build up post-war scholarship funds for s tudents in the armed forces.

Treasury officials consider the plan the best collegiate stamp-sell-ing idea to date, and f rankly admit they have no suggest ions for im-j rovement . Credit fo r the original idea goes to Francis Weaver, first-year law student at Iowa.

ON T H E BIAS . . . The Federal Register points out

that Stockton Junior college and Modesto Junior college in Califor-nia have moved to Carson City, Nev., "by reason of the emergency existing in Cal ifornia caused by the present s ta te of war ."

Gets right to the heart of the ssue. INCIDENTALLY . . .

Maryland's HOJJ college, in re-'axing its rules to permit married •^irls to at tend school, observed 'hat the move is an effort to ad-just " to s i tuat ions ar is ing from the .ar emergency."

Alpha Chi Meeting should have a program of reading

which will give him food for the

soul and also ideals. He should

judge what he reads in the light of the Bible. And he must also fit his own philosophy in with what he reads.

"Shakespeare and all d r a m a is omitted because in a play the dram-at is t plays so many different roles that it is impossible to know just what he himself believes. Drama sacrifices the personality of the author to play that of another .

Poetry Prefer red to Prose

"Poet ry is recommended in pref-erence to prose because it is con-

densed and more careful ly pre-

pared. It has more appeal for memorization. The cri ter ia to be used in selecting one's own favo-rite are then given, including the necessity of being focal (br ing into synthesis the whole of l i fe) , en-cyclopedic s ta ture , inexhaustibil i ty, and a deep sympathy with man-kind.

"The book then takes up the four poets which the au thor recommends and gives the r e a s o n s fo r the choice of each one."

An open discussion was held by the pre-seminarians a f t e r the re-view. Refreshments which were en-joyed before the discussion were in charge of the t reasurer , Leroy Sandee.

Ode to Shakespeare They tell me that Bill Shakespeare Is really quite amusing. That if you've read six plays or so His g r a m m a r ' s not confusing.

His puns are ra ther funny If you just know how to take them. And when he writes of lovers'

chats. He knows, he doesn't f ake them.

I quite agree with all of this; I have his books myself. May I never have to read them! But they look good on my shelf!

The Unknown Depends On Angle Slants

From t ime immemorial , gossip columns have depended on the de-velopments of sp r ing vacation to fill their columns fo r weeks a f t e r -wards. Hopeites have only a week-end this year — but an awful lot can happen in a week-end. Ask diminutive Ditty — she turned up one Sunday eve proudly sport ing Vandy's f r a t pin, thereby precipi-t a t ing a small sized riot on th i rd floor. The mob was gent ly shooed home by the doughty S tegenger (pardon our New Je r sey accent) , who is also a firm believer in week-ends. She dashed off Fr iday fo r New Brunswick — wants ma-terial for a te rm paper on theo-logical seminaries, no doubt.

Overheard in the shower: Nan Safford 's going in for c luture these days. A tall, dark and handsome example of Boston's best enlivened her Easter . He is, she explained, a musician — he plays everyth ing but second fiddle. By the way, does a conversation in showers make them a shower of Babel? (Pardon it, please).

Freshmen Lead Cosmo Meeting

Cosmopolitan meet ing fo r March 26 was in charge of the f reshmen with Merle Vanden Berg as chair-man. Hank Fyls t ra offered the prayer and Dale Fr i s led the song service. Among the numbers sung were the national anthem and the Cosmo song.

Hugh Kinnison gave the serious touch to the meet ing with a paper entit led, "Public Malady Number One," in which he commented upon the present health conditions of the country. Len Dick then tried to show some movies, but the camera, one of very ancient vintage, re-fused to work properly. Before Len was through wtih his a t t emp t s it was plainly evident tha t his antics were the humor par t of the pro-gram. Not only was Len a bit be-fuddled, but the pictures were such as have been given "o f t t imes of our f a the r s . "

A f t e r the mas ter cri t ic 's report a business meeting was held, in which Clarence S t ryker and Ken Worthy were elected as jan i tors for the spr ing term.

Freshman Diary Feature

of Dorian Meet ing

Green was prevalent once again as the Dorian f reshmen took over the meet ing of March 26. "The Diary of Sally Frosh" was carr ied out in book shaped p rg rams with green- tam'd heads decking the covers. The a l l - f reshmen cast por-t rayed some very active and real-istic scenes depicting impor tant events in their first hectic year .

At the completion of the pro-g r a m the f r e shman g i f t to the society was presented and re f resh-ments were served. Co-chairmen of the event were Marie Jenkins and Mayneen Jel lema.

At a business meeting which fol-lowed, Marian Sandee was elected W A L representa t ive , and Carol Bos chosen to captain the Dorian representa t ives in the inter-soror-ity baseball league.

To Play Off Cosmo-Frater Thriller Tonight! WOMEN'S SPORTS

I'y Ixiith Ellen Klaaren

Tl'.e newest and most comely brainchild of WAA blossomed into fulness when the inter-sorori ty Softball league got off to a flying sLart on its spr ing sched with two s iugfes ts a week ago last night . An the gir ls were out to do their duty for good old Delta Phi, S igma lota Ue^a, S igma Sigma, and Kap-pa Beta I'hi. In the first game Delphi was thoroughly downed by Sibylline, 17 to .'5, under the spec-tacular pitching of Lileeth Brouw-er. Batter ies for Delphi were Ficht-ner and Winstrom. The final score in the Dorian-Sorosis game was Ki to 8 in favor of Sorosis. Bat-teries for Sorosis were Daugherty and M. Timmer, and for Dorian, lowing.

These games were played in the gym, but we're hoping for more nice weather and an athletic field in good condish. Then we'll movt out of ol' Carnegie and play on the outdoor diamond. Here's the sched of remaining games : Apri l 7—

if you want to play ball with your sorori ty (1 mean it l i teral ly) , see your team captain . These a re : For Dorian, Virginia Ewing; Del-phi, Rose Winstrom and Dotty vVendt; Thesaur ian , not chosen as yet; Sibylline, Donna Eby; and Sorosis, Millie Timmer. No scores on the Delphi-Thesaurian and the Dorian-Sibylline games of last night.

Florence Dykema promises that soon there'll be activity in the archery and riding lines.

Meanwhile tennis activities con-tinue under Jean Ruiter.

And there are those hikes that all the girls are taking these en-chanting spr ing evenings, when the gentle zephyrs are playing about and that mammoth orange moon comes rising out of the west—but then those aren't WAA-sponsored anyway, and the only organization involved in each case usually con-sists of two people.

Well, now adieu for another two weeks. Wasn' t that brief Eas te r interlude a super opportunity for rest ing up? Or didn' t you e i ther?

Now adieu, mes charmants , EDITH ELLEN

tested battle-royal between the Cosmopolitans and Fra te rha l basketball teams. The outcome of this scrap will decide the much-discus3ed cage title, one way or the other, and promises to be a thriller, if not an example of smooth basketball. The managers of both teams met yesterday to decide whether or not a certain member of another team (which defeated the Cosmos) was ineligible. He was. At this meeting the respec-tive managers also decided to do away with the referee, umpire, time-keepers, score-keepers, et al. — jus t to make the game more interesting to the spectators. The ball will be painted red and covered with grease, and all players are cautioned to come equipped with helmets, shoulder pads, etc. . . . you can never tell what will happen. One of the managers suggested tha t the baskets be moved ten feet nearer the ceil-ing to prevent them from being torn down during the f r a y — this impossible suggestion was immediately vetoed on the grounds that the players a t tempt ing to sit in the basket —

final games of the bowling league will be played off, the Fra te r " A " having already taken the title, and Emmy " A " close behind in second place. Third place is still a toss-up between the Emmersonian " B " team and the Cosmo "A" , but this week's play-off will decide the issue.

Final s tat is t ics are not complete until all play-offs are over, but the Fra te r " A " finished with 20 wins, eight losses. Art T immer was the outs tanding maple-knocker w i t h
