His new duties will include student discipline, both academic and social, direction of the interfrater- nity council and its program, and the supervision of extra-curricular affairs.
Ralph Colburn, who has been admissions officer at Milwaukee for the Inst five years, has resigned to accept a position with the West Bend Aluminum company. President Barrows announced.

Al Donahue Orchestra Signed for Gala Second Annual Spring Prom A pril 29
Famous Band Featured At New York’s Rock
efeller Center .
While Al Donahue, the band Tor
the second annual Lawrence col
lege prom, is primarily an eastern
band, making its biggest name in
the Rainbow room at Rockefeller
center, smooth patrons of the
smartest spots the world over have
danced to his hi-hal and low-down
rhythms.
Al Donahue worked his way
through the law school of Boston
university playing his violin and
leading orchestras on boats run
ning out of Boston in the summer
time. By the time he received his
LLB degree he already had a flock
of orchestras working for him. and
the offer of a job for the following
season leading a band at the Holly
wood hotel in Hollywood Beach,
Florida. The music business was
better than the law business, so he
took the job. From Florida he went to Detroit to be the master of ceremonies at the Fisher theatre there, then to Behnuda to furnish the music at the fashionable Bermudian« hotel. •
The exclusive Sands Point Bath club on Long Island followed; Al Donahue’s was the orchestra in that swanky spot the night the late Huey Long got a black eye in a fracas there. Al made so big a hit there that he went into the Rainbow Room atoi) Radio Ci»v in the fall, then to the i,»«uld£rt-'H.storla. The next summer he was featured at the Casino. Monte Carlo, probably the most fashionable spot in the world, and since then he has been almost constantly at the Rninbow Room, with only occasional excursions away from New York, such as his engagement of the nest season nt the Palm Island casino, Miami Beach, and the season before at the Roosevelt hotel. New Orleans, for the city’s world-famous Mardi Gras. The Colony c’ub in Palm Beach, the Book Cadillac in Detroit and the Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati are other spots he has played.
He hasn't neglected theatres, either, with the Paramount and the Strand in New York, among others, to his credit. One of the first bands to play the Strand under its new band policy, he rolled up grosses of $98,000 in three weeks, his $53,- 000 gross for his first week coming within $2.000 of Horace HeirU's alltime record for the theatre.

4Moonlight and Roses9 To be Theme of
Coming Affair
With the announcement of the signing of Al Donahue and his Rainbow room orchestra for the second annual Lawrence spring prom Saturday, April 29, by Bcb Stocker, s t u- dent s o c ia l chairman, plans for the greatest social event of the year are swinging into f i n a l stages.D o n a h u e 's band, w h ic h was featured at th e exclusive Rainbow rt^m of New Yoi k’s R o c k e f e I ler
center, is noted Stocker for its unique arrangements in “symphonic swing.”
Donahue himself is noted for his successful musical compositions, including the number one song hit for many weeks last season, “Don’t Cross Your Fingers. Cross Your Heart". His present theme, “Dancing in the Clouds", is also his owu composition.
Plans for the gala event call for a “Moonlight and Roses" theme with a Southern plantation as the background. The effect will be that of an orchestra playing on th e columned porch of the plantation for dancers in a garden of roses. Arbors and trellises covered with roses will add to the effect. Chaperones will have a small rose bower iq one corner, and a great full moon will add an element of romance.
New BandstandA new bandstand which will be
large enough to accomodate nny size orchestra is being constructed. This addition will be of a more substantial construction of composition board painted with various appropriate designs and will be readily demountable. A new circular bar will be installed in the foyer which will be intricately lit.
Admission will be by the social activities tickets for men. Women will make the same arrangements as before, obtaining special tickets from Bob Stocker for out-of-town dates. Tickets for outsiders will be two dollars if purchased in advance. and $2.50 at the box office. Tickets are now on sale at Hank Johnston's Book store.
Committees The social committee consisting
of Stocker and assistant chairmen Jack Crawford and June Selvy has announced the list of committees for the affair. A general meeting of all committees was held yesterday afternoon. The committees are as follows:

Five Professors
Discuss Europe
In Alumni Forum
Ti ever, Baker, Mitchell, Cummings, DuShane in
Panel Discussiojj
By Jack BrandA panel discussion on the posi-
tion of America in the European nituution of today was held at the 1 awnnce conservatory Monday evening, April 17. The panel group was made up of five Lawrence professors; chairman, Rexford Mitchell, professor of speech; A. A. Trever, professor of ancient and European history; L. C. Baker, professor of modern languages; Donald M. DuShane. associate professor of government, nnd R. O. Cummings. assistant professor of American history.
The first point of consideration was. “what are the basic causes for the present conflict in the world today?.” Mr. Trever c o n tended that one of the basic reasons for strife in the world today was because Adolph Hitler wanted land . . . not for economic reasons but because he wished to creatc an empire comparable to that of Great Britain nnd the colonies for which he was now crying would afford him strategic positions from which to pull the British Lion’s tail. •
Mr. Cummings believes that the basic causes of the present tendency towards world conflict are due to population pressures, clash of personalities among the leaders of the various countries and the Versailles Treaty.
Economically UnbalancedMr. DuShane indicated that the
unrest in Germany is due to the fact that the Germans are economically unbalanced . . . that they are taking their bread and butter money and pouring it into armaments. He attributed pretty much the same cause to Italy’s condition. Mr. Cummings supported by Mr. Baker concluded that Germany was not as weak as she was rm<de out to be and that it was just possible that this idea was propaganda spread by nations allied against Germany to deceive nations whose aid an«l support they were seeking to enlist.
The panel members concluded this phase of the discussion by admitting to each other that it was quite possible that the sum tc.tal of the points brought out was the reason for the present unrest in Europe today.
Set An ExampleFrom the above mentioned point
the conversation, due to the tactful shifting of Mr. Mitchell, swung to a discussion of the United States’ position in the present European situation and what it should and should not be. Mr. DuShane held for an isolationist policy of “stay at home and take care of the troubles in your own backyard.” He concluded, “We have a good many problems of our own to solve, so let us take care of these and thereby show other nations that a democracy can handle its own affairs. Thus”, he concluded, “we will set an excellent example for other nations to follow”.
Mr. Trever immediately countered this isolationist policy replying. “We can’t shut ourselves up these days and escape the rest of the world.” He went on to say that the only satisfactory thing the United States could do would be to strive to maintain peace with every ounce of energy it could expend. "We must face the situation realistically”, he concluded.
The panel group ns a whole favored Mr. Trever’s proposal that we should adopt the Pittman Neutrality law which holds that the United States should sell munitions to all and any nations on a cash ¡»nd carry basis. This policy would put all nations on an equal footing as far as the U. S. is concerned, and this, they concluded, would be better for the United States in her dealings with foreign Dowers.
Unable To Reach AgreementThe panel group was rather di
vided on the wiseness of President Roosevelt’s recent pcace proposal that took Europe by storm. Mr. Cummings maintained that the present Roosevelt peace policy was hypocrisy in as much as the week previous the present administration voted a twenty-five percent tariff on all German goods. The panel members wound up the discussion on this aspect of the whole, but were unable to reach any agreement on the issue.
Mr. Mitchell then opened th e discussion to the audience and they were permitted to ask any of the panel members questions. The small hall in the Conservatory was

full and a good many questions from the audience followed Chairman Mitchell's request. After the audience ceased to ask questions and gave evidences of being as full of information as possible, Mr. Mitchell closed the discussion in a burst of applause by the audience.
Prints of Camera Club Are Discussed TuesdayAt Bi-Monthly MeetingPrints taken by the members of
the. Camera club were shown and

Weatherman Was Kind Enough
To Answer Ormsby Prayers,
So Sage Starts Praying Too
LAST weekend we frequently heard Lawrentians cleverly quoting, “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain,” but unless the weatherman brings forth a sunny weekend, the superstitious quoters
will change their tune lest the mere suggestion of rain bring it forth again. And anyone who dares to mention “The rain in Spain” will certainly put emphasis on the fact that he or she hopes it stays there. If Mr. Weatherman had not been so kind as to clear the skies last Saturday, the uproar from Ormsbyites would have equalled that of the Sage- ites a few weeks ago when their gala occasion, the Sage formal, was called off. But the girls from Sage waited patiently and, to be sure, were rewarded, for they have a chance to shine this Saturday at their formal and, if they can shine, perhaps the weather will, too.
On Saturday, April 15, the pledges

Lawrence Teacher
Addresses League
On South America
The northern countries of South
America since 1825 were discussed
by Miss Edna Wiegand, associate
professor of Latin at Lawrence col
lege, at the meeting of Pan-Amer
ican league Monday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Hans John, 206 N.
Union street. Miss Wiegand spoke
of these countries according to pe
riods as follows: 1810 to 1825, the
period of struggle for political in
dependence; 1825 to 1875, anarchy
and confusion; 1875 to 1930, organ
ization and peace; and 1930 to the
present, revolution for economic in
dependence.The fact that the whole continent
was occupied at the same time, that the people are diverse in nature, the Iberians loving gold and being energetic, restless and hating work and the Indians loving the soil and being patient and contemplative, and that there are such great distances on the continent result in many problems, the speaker said.
Miss Wiegand spoke of the various countries, their geography, products, populations, governments, and some of the boundary disputes which arose from time to time, and she discussed the outstanding personalities among the leaders.

Proposed Change In Constitution A Touchy One
To m o r r o w in convocation l«iw-
rcnce students must come to a de
cision regarding a change in the student
body constitution. Annual revisions of
Ihe constitution seem to have become a l
most a tradition, and common parlance
has it that the student administration
which doesn’t find some change to make
is lying down on the job.
Monday the executive committee voted
to amend the constitution to provide for
Jlamar union and for a spring election of
a student body president, and this pro
posal comes up before the students to
morrow. The provision for llamar union
is one which in reality is merely a for
mality, and there is little possibility for
difference of opinion on the matter, since
student support for the new social center
which will open tomorrow evening has
been manifested, almost unanimously.
C hange W o u ld Have
fa r R each ing Consequences
But the change in the student body presidential election is one of far-reaching
consequence and one which merits some thoughtful consideration before a vote is cast. At present, the president is elected in October from members of the student executive committee which were elected in the preceding May elections. A temporary chairman elected from the coming sophomore representation on the committee serves in his stead until the presidential election in October. The executive committee’s proposal calls for the «lection of the student body president at the same time as the general executive committee elections in May.
In adopting the present status last year, the executive committee attempted to eliminate the stigma of fraternity politics from student government insofar as it is possible. By postponing the presidential election until the following October, when major rushing activities are over, the office of student body president could not be exhibited as a political plum to naive freshmen. It was maintained that the claim of one fraternity to the office would prove too great an influencing factor, and that rushees should decide on other qualifications than the head of the Lawrence student body. The election of the student president in May would, of course, give the fraternity to which he belonged an enormous advantage in rushing activities the following
fall.
C la im Freshmen Now Do
N o t Know C and ida te s
Proponents of the proposed change claim that freshmen arriving in September do not gain sufficient knowledge of
the qualifications of the presidential candidate to enable them to cast an intelligent vote. Replacing the freshman vote by the vote of departing seniors, they say, would make for a more intelligent election. This, of course, means that more than one-fourth of the students—the freshman class—would have no voice in the selection of the person who will serve es president during their first year at
Lawrence.Another valid objection to the present
setup is that there is no student head to welcome new students in the fall and conduct other ceremonial duties during the interval between elections. Of course the old president could fulfill such duties until commencement, and it is conceivable that the president of Mace or Mortar Board could undertake these ceremonial duties for the month preceding the fall
presidential elections.This is an extremely important ques
tion for Lawrence student government and one which should not be considered only from its more superficial aspects.
Certainly there are valid arguments on
both sides, and an extremely careful weighing ol the respective advantages is
required. But it does seem that the spring
election of the president would enable student government to get underway immediately in the fall with greater impetus than under the present setup.

Collegians last week con-
Hitler tinucd their vigorous denunciation of Hitler
and his continued drive against the weaker nations of eastern Europe. Many urge one plan or another for the formation of a stop Hitler movement—a movement that most believe is paramount to the continued life of the democratic nations.
The Oberlin college Review stated the current position of the college newspaper editorial writers in this way: “We cannot censure too severely the weak-kneed bowing and scraping and the magnanimous sacrifices ©f other peoples which the French and English governments have made. So long as the desire for peace and our own security is uppermost in our minds, we can hardly hope that more will come out of the rumored four-power conference to stop Hitler than more guarantees.”
Many collegians predict that the latest moves of Der Fuehrer are steps in the direction of his downfall. The University of Baltimore Baloo states this position in this way: “For the first time since the beginning of the Third Reich Germany has seized foreigners and not Germans. Germany now has a strong, exceedingly brave minority within its own borders. Any further advance will bring but more foreigners. The first step toward Germany’s downfall has been taken, but watch the future.”
Of the many plans proposed to stop Hitler, the Duke university Chronicle proposed one of the most comprehensive. Its
Administrative Change Mokes for Efficiency
The appointment of Donald M. Du- Shane as new student dean and the new administrative duties of John S. Millis as administrative dean constitute a change which should make for increased efficiency in that department of the college. Students now acquainted with the government professor will find him possessed of all the qualities desired in one to handle student affairs, and the relieving of Mr. Millis of these duties will leave him free to coordinate various administrative activities which previously have been more or less separately handled. This, in turn, will enable President Barrows to extend his activities. The resignation of Ralph Colburn greatly adds to the duties of M. C. Towner, director of admissions, and Mr. Millis will now be able to help relieve him also.
main points are: 1. Replace Neville Chamberlain with Anthony Eden as Britain’s prime minister; 2. promote British and French cooperation with Russia to give that country military leaders that would make Stalin’s army valuable to himself and to a new three-power ring around Hitlerland; 3. immediate abandonment of all “dilatory measures”; and 4. raise tariffs in all countries against import and export of German goods.
But, as most collegians believe, only time will tell the future of Europe—and of democracy throughout the world!

Hailing the passage of 1 ^ 6 • O r i M the bill as a move in the
right direction, collegians nevertheless deplored the fact that the reorganization bill re-written by congress does not reorganize enough to be really valuable. Most applaud the move to make the federal administration more efficient and more economical—in fact, there was hardly one dissenting voice. Few were so highly commendatory as the University oi Wisconsin Daily Cardinal, which said:
“The bill will go far toward bringing about reorganization in the administrative and executive branch, thus filling one of the most urgent needs of the federal government for the last 40 years. Every president who held office during that period attempted to effect some sort of redistribution of bureaus, divisions and various miscellaneous agencies, but almost invariably congress steered shy.”
• • •
P I* . • With another nationalr O l l i l C S political campaign still
far in the distance, collegians nevertheless are giving serious thought and action to what is going to happen to the New Deal in 1940. While most arc just speculating on the subject, students in at least two universities h^ve organized to the support of favored candidate.
Most collegians feel that Democratic party politics must wait on some definite word from President Roosevelt before definite action can be taken or definite predictions made. The dilemma that faces the president in the months of practical politics to come is aptly stated by the University of Kansas Daily Kansan:
“President Roosevelt is caught between opposing viewpoints. He wants business recovery to justify the reforms he has initiated, but he is unwilling, nevertheless,
W E HAVE it from Paul Jones thait Bob Wilson revealed some of hii
hidden talents on the A Cappclla tour. Jones woke up in his volunteered bed at the home of a Stevens Point community mainstay to glimpse the sedate figure of Wilson astride a gracefully cantering electric horse. Wilson made the circuit around the bed three times before Jones had w’akcned sufficiently to realize it wasn’t a fiery flesh-and-blood steed, in'; whose eai Wilson was clucking, but one of the Calvin Coolidge variety.

Now that our erstwhile politician, Jack Bodilly, is reasonably free from political obligations, he has turned his executivelike talents into new fields. He is rapidly putting red stars opposite the names of 20 campus beauties compiled by him. His systematic mind dictated that he decide on young ladies most worthy of his efforts. Only, Betty Schaible put a star of her own up on the wall when she failed to answer the buzzer announcing one of Big Time Bodilly’s systematic calls.

Life is wonderful even with the tropi- ; cal rains flooding the campus, according to the dirt space on the back page.

to discard the reforms he has brought; about. Whatever course he takes, it is admitted not only by his friends, but also by his enemies that he will continue to be a compelling factor in the political life of the country for many years/’
The current drive to force Vice-President Garner into the nomination spotlight : is one of the moves being made to dispel the fog that hides the inner thoughts of : the President and the inner workings of the Democratic party, using good political bait."
Turning to the Republican side of the race, the University of Minnesota Daily maintains that “there is considerable foundation for the growing Republican confidence, but there surely is no indication that the G.O.P. has won the election. Returning prosperity, especially in the Middle West Farm region, would virtually insure a Democratic victory. The early Dewey boom, too, may hinder the G.O P. plans. Placing Dewey so prominently in the limelight will make him and his faction of the party the target of both New Deal and rival Republican opposition. Future rather than past events will swing the election and decide the outcome of the 1940 political battle.”

Floods continue to rise in the
Ohio Valley; major league baseball
players fret under their bonds of
dampness; radio announcers predict snow; the call rings forth again to help the flood refugees, and here beneath the cold gray Appleton skies. Coach Denney announces-that the Interfraternity track meet will be postponed until next week. Rain may be good for the farmer, but the cinder crop at Whiting field feels the need of the sun's rays far more than the recent overflow of moisture.
Originally scheduled for Saturday. April 22, the meet will be held on two succeeding afternoons next week. Either Wednesday and Thursday, or Thursday and Friday, will be the days, and the competition will start at 4:00 n. m. sharp. The events will be split up in this fashion:
Wednesday, April 364:00—75 yard dash, shot put 4:30—2 mile, high jump 4:50—300 yard run, javelin throw
Thursday, April 274:00—120 yard low hurdles, discus 4:30—660 yard run 4:50—Broad jump 5:00--440 yard relay
Greek Tracks tenFive places will be given. Point;
will be distributed 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. A men may be entered by a simile fra- field event, or two field and one track event, besides the relay. Three men may be entered by a single fraternity in an event. The list of entrants should be in to Coach Denney by next Tuesday. Independents may run. too.
The Phi Delts nosed out the Sig Eps last year by four points. The Phis had 48, the Sigmas had 41, and the Delts 40}. Most of the men who won points for the Phis have either graduated or received a varsity letter, so the race is wide open this year. A peculiar fact about last year's meet was that the Phi Delts won without taking a single first place except the relay.
The 11 mile, a gruelling event, has been dropped this year, and the ? mile has been substituted for it. Coach Denney feels that it is too early in the year to subject poorly conditioned runners to such a strain.
The only first place winners eligible this year are Vince Jones. Beta, winner of the shot and discus; Jim Orwig, independent, pole vault winner; W ill Beck, Delt, winner of the broad jump; and Stan Cole, Sig Ep. mile and a quarter champion.

Watch For Details In Tbit Paper
Norm Faleide was chosen honorary captain of the 1938-1939 V iking cage squad by his teammates at the Fox River Valley Men's association dinner held at Brokaw
hall on Tuesday, April 4. A few weeks ago Norm was s e le c t e d by Midwest c o n ference coacn- es as a guard on the second a l l - co n Terence team. The Oak Park guard is a senior and his a b s e n c e will be keenly
Faleide felt next year.Athletic awards were given to
the 1938-39 swimming, freshman
basketball, and varsity basketball
teams at the banquet. Dean Millis
served as the toastmaster. Mr. Bor
rows, the first speaker, told that
our basketball squad merely did
not have the luck that graced cur
football team. The principal speaker of the evening was Gordon McIntyre. sports editor of the Appleton Post-Crescent. Mr. Mclnt> re gave an interesting discussion of various aspects of the work of sportswriters, commenting on his work and the work of writers in large cities.
Dillon Gives L'kAde Dillon presented L's to Pete
Humleker, Miles Hench. Ed Hahn, Jack Brand, and Ray Chadwick of the swimming team. The team, s'.id Dillon, won third place in the Midwest this year and should do as well next year.
Freshman numerals were awarded by Coach Dillon to Lingle, Fredrickson. Kirchoff, Nenki, Peterson. Hayden, Hammer, Naleide. Deppe, Donahue, and managers Nixon and Calkins. Dillon oxptes- sod his satisfaction with the past frosh season and said that although the won and lost columns were not in our favor, the boys made it plenty tough for all their opponents.
Wrestling LettermenBernie Heselton, coach of t h e
wrestling team, presented letters to Chuck Hobbs, Mel Heinke. and Dick Rothe, all sophomores. Prospects for a good wrestling season next year are very bright according to Bernie.
The climax of the evening was reached when Art Denny reward
ed his varsity cage squad. He
gave some comments on the season,
stating that the boys cooperated
excellently and had enough en
thusiasm and spirit to go into each
game with victory uppermost in
their minds, even though defeat
seemed to dog their trail. That,
said Denney, is a mark of real
character. Denney went on to say
that next season should find Law
rence somewhat improved. T he
coach then awarded white sweat
ers to the senior letter winners,
Schuess, J a c k s o n , Novakofski,
Faleide, and the senior manager,
Aldrich. Other letter winners were
Cape, Bennetts, Masterson, Bucs-
ing, juniors, and sophomore Art Schade. Numerals were presented to Burrows, junior manager.
Alpha Chi Wins Over Theta for Cage Crown
The Alpha Chi Omegas are the basketball champions as a result of one of the most spectacular basketball games seen on the campus this year when they won from the Kappa Alpha Thetas by a score of 25 to 21. An overflow crowd jammed the Little Gym April 3 to watch the Alpha Chi’s recover the game from the Thetas in the closing minutes of the second hidf. Both teams showed exceptional finesse and cooperation, and it was anyone's game to the very end.
Also on April 3. the Sigma Alpha Iotas defeated the Kappa Deltas 16-9. This completed the first season of competition for the S. A. I's.

Standings do not count
With the Impressive average of
160.3, the Phi Delts closed the
bowling season with a record of 10
wins and 2 losses to cop the cham
pionship. Their only defeats came
at the hands of the Betas and fhe
Delts. The second place, with 7 and
i, are the Betas, while the Delts
and Phi Taus tied for third, and
the Sigmas trailed. The top Phi
Delts garnered almost 2000 more pins than the cellarites.
The race for second place \as the feature of the league play. The Delts, Betas, and Phi Taus nil «n- tered the final round of match competition with nearly the same standings. The Delts. Phi Taus hf.d won five and lost four; the Betas had won four and lost five. T iie pairings were thus; Phi Taus vs. Phi Dielts; Betas vs. Delts.
Phi Delts LeadThe Phi Delts lost no time in
jumping on the hapless Phi Taus for three straight games, which relegated them to at least third place. No less prompt were the Betas, who, led by Hack Wilson's return to form, soundly trounced their opponents. The winners were "hot”, and the Delts were unnerved by the trend of circumstances and grew continually worse as they pressed. The only man really bowling was Kiel Kaemmer. whose !>31 was only six pins behind Wilson's.
This win gave the Beta boys a elear claim on second place, and resulted in a tie for third between the Delts and the Phi Taus.
Faealty LosesMeanwhile, paced by Jimmy
Whitford’s 499 series, the Sig Eps were taking two out of three from the Faculty. The faculty team In the Teachers’ league won th e championship, but fared rather worse in the Greek circuit. Millis had a 534 against the Sigmas.
As the curtain fell on the second successful year of interfraternity bowling, two new records have been established. John Killoren eracked the woods for a 596 series. Last year's record was held by Sehmerein of the Phi Delts, 539.
Betas Set RecordAgainst the Delts, the Betas lin-
ally established a record for total pins. This record has thrice been smashed this year, but the 2501 pins of the Betas tops things off
The complete set of records is as follows:

I¿»ads League Bowlers With Average of
169 Pins
Banging the maples for a to4al
of 2537 pins, Johnny Killoren of
the Phi Delts chalked up a 169.13
average to lead home the Green keglers for the 1939 season. Close at his back came Prof. Clippinger with a 167 average. “Clippy” edged out McCorkle. Phi Tau freshman, by one pin. Ten pins behind McCorkle trailed Bob Leverenz, who copped third place last year.
The bowling scores this year were higher than last. There were 12 men having averages of 160 or better, and 11 more above 150. However, there were many more who fell down below 140, so the average of the whole league is probably no better.
Most erratic bowler of the league was Harry Jackson, who ranged from games of 115 to 232, and series of 409 to 581. A striking fact which the figures reveal is that the bowling of freshmen dominated the competition. Five of the first ten are yearlings. The Phi Delts, with a team composed of three or four freshmen were far out ahead.
Last year's high man was Dave Walling, Delt, J o h n Sehmerein. runnerup, finished down in twelfth place this season.Nam« Team Average

Michelson and MeClatchie, successfully withstood barrages of leather thrown at them by contenders, thereby keeping their respective titles. Michelson, heavyweight champion, scored a technical knockout over Crawford in a very fast bout. Michelson used his weight edge to great advantage as he continually carried the fight to Crawford.

Aquatic Club Urges Students to Try Out On Saturday, Apr. 22
All students interested in swim
ming or diving are urged to try
out Saturday afternoon, April 22,
at the Alexander gym pool for
membership in the newly^formed
Aquatic club. The Aquatic club
plans to present a water carnival
sometime in May. Leading the list
of events planned for the carnival
are a girl’s water ballet, fancy div
ing, clown diving and various oth
er acts and skits that will take place in and on the water.
Ade Dillon, coach of swimming, remarked, “We have a lot of capable girl swimmers here at Lawrence and we expect to see them at the pool Saturday afternoon .. that is if they ore not afraid to get their hair wet.”
A preliminary meeting of a committee was held in coach Dillon’s apartment prior to the Easter vacation where plans were discussed by representatives from the dormitories, etc. The committee decided that requirements should not be made too difficult in as much as it would prohibit those who liked to swim but are not cxpci ts from gaining membership in the club. The committee was made up of Jane Grise, Rosemary Taylor, Johnny Hart. Betty White, Ed Hahn, and Jack Brand.

Tie Oshkosh High
Colvin, Hayden, Nelson, Messenger Show Well
F o r V i k e s
On April 4 the Viking frosh
track team competed with Oshkosh
high iichool in a practice meet on the indoor track at Alexander gym.
The track was in excellent condition, being oiled and rolled several times before the day of the meet, In spite of this fact, however, the time made in the various run? was not up to par. This was due, Coach Denney believes, to the undersize of the indoor track.
The Viking men who stood cut as very promising material for the coming season were: Colvin in distance, Hayden in the hurdles. Nelson in the pole vault, and Messenger in the weights.
Although both squads fought hard to win, the meet ended in a 31. to 31 tie.
The results of the meet were ar follows:
Shot put: (1) Messenger. <L); Deitzo, (O); Lucker, (O). Distance; 43’. (12 lb. shot).
Pole vault: (1) Nelson. (L); <2) Manion, «O). Height: H ’2’\
High jump: A three-way tie between Lambert and Erban of Oshkosh and Diver of Lawrence.

COMING to the Rio this Friday is “Dodge City”, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Hav-
iland. It is a technicolor produc
tion of the growth of the tiny set
tlement to a great trading center
in the cattle country of the 1820's.
Errol is the trail boss of a herd of cattle which he brings to Dodge City. When he arrives he finds the town ruled by a gang of thugs headed by Bruce Cabot. He Is made sheriff by a group of citizens rnd proceeds to clean up the town. Then the fun begins. Among the excellent supporting cast of “Dodge City” are Ann Sheridan, Alan Hale, Frank McHigh. and Victor Jory. The setting of the play is magnificent and the story as a whole is altogether e x c i t in g . Another wild west picture on large scale, “Dodge City” is well worth your while.
Also at the Rio is “Women in the Wind”, a stirring tale of the adventures of women fliers. It is the story of an aviatrix who enters the woman’s air derby to gain money in order that her brother, who has been injured Iq an air crash, may receive proper medical care. She persuades a famous aviator to lend her his plane — and incidentally his heart — and all goes well until his wife finds it out. As usual, however, things work out happily for all concerned. The cast is headed by Kay Francis and William Gargan.
YOU will see Joan Crawford and James Stewart together at the Appleton this weekend in
"The Ice Follies of 1939.” It is the story of an ice skater with big ideas and a movie star who are nearly separated by their respective careers, but are reunited when Joan renounces stardom for marriage. In the supporting cast are

Also on the Appleton screen is "The Kid From Texas,” which is a new version of the ever popular theme of society girl and cowboy in love.

An exhibition of reproductions
showing examples of the great
paintings of members of the im
pressionist movement of painting
in the 19th century in France is
now on display at the Lawrence
college library.
Beginning with Edouard Ma.iet
and Gustave Courbet, whose work was only mildly impressionistic, art showing the tendencies that these men had begun developed more and more toward an understanding of common, every day values. Their most profound interest was in new theories of color and in the development of sunlight effects. They were alive to the fascination in the theater, the dance halls, and to outdoor scenes. The great beauty of the impressionist painting lies in the vibrations of light which fill every canvas.
These painters discovered the color in every shadow and instead of the somber browns and blanks
of many of the old masters we now find brilliant decorative designs. Also represented are the post-impressionists, Van Gogh &nd Gaugin, whose work was merely an extreme culmination of the first tendencies of impressionism. Van Gogh particularly has used color for its stimulation of the emotions. He believed that what he painted was not the drab use of blue paint to represent the sky, but the blue that ho used was the sky itself.
Gaugin. the great decorative painter of 19th century art. turned to Tahiti to find the exotic color and vivid extravagances that made him one of the greatest masters of decorative design. Such are a few of the paintings now represented in the very colorful and intersting show now on exhibition.
The exhibit will remain here until April 26, it has been announced by A. F. Megrew, instructor of art. w ’io is in charge of the display.

M itchell Leads Debaters to
Waupun Prison-and Out AgainBy V.'esley Perschbacher
Any rrsrmblHnre to person* livlnc or dead Is purely coinridenUI, and atll name* used are fictitious.
After entertaining tired and ov-
ci stuffed businessmen at noon
luncheons in their various named
‘‘blue rooms” (smoke-ceiling, zero),
it was a unique joy to get an as
signment to the Waupun State Pri
son. Serving the cnbattled bourgeoisie “grilled Roosevelt” for dessert is a bore compared with the experience of debating before some i>00 members of the “blunderworld ’ in the Big House at Waupun.
The Warden, desiring a little prose for his “cons,” and being n former pupil of Coach Mitchell, offered him the distinct honor of being the first coach to put his debaters behind the bars in a coolest before the prison school.
Squad At E?seTaking his squad members mo«t
experienced in that line and most at home in that environment for a ride, Mitchell succeeded in locking in Quentin Barnes and Wesley Perschbacher to meet Ralph Keyser (introduced as “geyser”) and John Evans of Carrol! college on the question of pump priming. In his spare time John Evans plays center on the Carroll football team and thus for obvious reasons it was a pleasure to meet him under those circumstances.
During the debate prison guards marched around the room keeping the men in order and awake, which was hardly necessary as new faces and new voices arc always a joy in themselves in that place allowing few visitors.
Extra Pie With Home RunFolowing the verbal encounter
the debaters were taken on a tour of the prison which included the library from which each prisoner gets two volumes a week to read whether he wants to or not, and the prison school in which some 500 out of 1717 inmates take courses which include University Extension credit and those which take a lifetime to master for the “lifers.” They weie finally shown the athletic field where the director hopes to see his baseball team defeat the Brewers again this year. The success of the team is laid to the efficient recruiting of the police-squads and the judges who round up some star players in their enforcement of law and order. Incidentally, a ball knocked over the prison wall not only gives the player a home run but also an extra pie for dessert.
When dinner time arrived, the debaters were invited to be the guests of the prisoners at their noon luncheon. Living in prospect ot receiving a loaf of bread and a jug of water without the “thou” beside it. they were surprised to find a meal that would even put dormitory “guest day” meals to shame. The prison swing band entertained during the meal, which was a particular comfort during the soup course. They played all requests. Favorite hits of the week were “My Reverie," “I Cried For You,” and “Waterfall Polka,” which included a solo on the woodpile that would make any “Platter-Chatter”. “Hurry Home” and “Get Out of Town” were on their way to the top for more reasons than one. The theme song, It was deduced, must have been the marching out song which was “The Stars and Stripes Forever”. Each player took a few bars of the chorus.
Good Rushing ProspectsThe debaters ate with two Law
rence graduates who have charge of prison work. It was whispered about that the prisoner waiting on the debaters was still a man of sufficient means to buy out Lawrence and Carroll colleges combined. Here was a chance to put in some of the six hours “Faith hope, and charity” work for the Alma Mater by giving him the line about “Who IS the college” and maybe one of hi.* million might get interested in the Lawrence building program. That golden opportunity was passed by in

silence as the time was spent in
looking through the pride of the si
lent House, the “Candel”, a magazine written and printed entirely by prisoners. Some of the articles in it were: a story entitled “Sparrows Get Hungry in Winter” with some s. s. (social significance), a satire on the five-day reducing diet (solitary confinement), an editorial criticizing some bad prison rules, an article on how to write for a pardon, sundry comments bemoaning the lack of crook courtesy among modern "hiest” men and longing for the days of Robin Hood and Rob Roy, descriptions of unusual thefts, pan handling in beauty shops, and inside dope on other prisons.
Speaking before a prison group whose average intelligence ranked from fifth to eighth grade level>, blit at the same time which included college grads and men of Phi Bete caliber, had its problems. Certainly the true and trite “We’re glad to see so many of you here this morning” would be not unfitting, and to wind up with “We hope to be among you again soon” would be malice aforethought. This was not the sole difficulty, for if prison walls do not a prison make, then grade levels do not a scholar indicate: for the superintendent of the school assured the debaters that they would be amazed at the profound penetration insight, and intellectual curiosity of the men, whose greatest disappointment of the whole affair was the fact that there was not time to ask question::. Five shorthand pupils took down the debate speeches, and Coach Mitchell was to receive an analysis of the debate by the prisoners, who showed that their chief interest was more than “making little ones out of big ones. 'The debaters were given a return engagement to debate with the prison squad on the subject. “Are Paroles a Benefit to Society,” which would give the prisoners distinct advantage since they could speak from experience.
Waupun—And BrokawThe click in the outside lock t(
the gate sounded mighty good when the debaters were able once again to stretch and yawn without the fear of swallowing a couple of guards or pushing out a few of the gray walls. With this inside preview of what the inside of Brokaw might be with President Barrows’ proposed cloistered wall

Helen Pedley has been very active in athletics. She is now pie- sident of W. A. A. and was previously intramural manager, and is a member of Numeral club. She is also vice-president of L. W. A., on the staff of the Ariel and Law- i entian, president of J u d i c i a l Board, a member of Geneva club, and German club, and is a freshman councillor.
Betty White is president of L. W. A. and last year served as social chairman of that organiza
tion. She is on the W. A. A. board
and belongs to the French a n d
German clubs.This year the “tapping” cere
mony was used again because it was so successful last year. The local chapter of Mortar Board was formed in 1922, and this organiza- ; tion has always been active on the campus. Every year Mortar honors the five highest ranking girls in each class at a dinner, and aiso sponsors a Mothers’ Day tea. Their other activities include candy and
sandwich sales, selling Commence
ment announcements to seniors,
and this year for the first time they sponsored a Mardi Gras.

A new book has just been received at the college library which will be of use to those students In the college who have not yet derided what they are going to do after their college days. It is called Students and Occupations. It is written by E. G. Williamson of the University of Minnesota. Some of the questions solved in this book •re: “What kind of a job can I get and hold that will satisfy me. my family, and my society? What kind of a job will best fit my peculiar personal pattern of strengths and weaknesses? What work is likely to be opening up when I am ready? What is likely to be closing down? What compétition is there for places in the kind of thing I want to do? How do I get myself ready? Is school training any good for what I want or can I get in at the bottom and work up? Granted that every job has its dull routine, its grief, its worry, or its dirty side, in which one would I be able to stand this hard part?”
This book is on the New Book shelf at the library.

Appleton Among First Cities of Country to
Have Electric Lights \The city of Appleton points with !
pride to many of its distinguishing
features and bits of historical in
terest. One of the most interesting and perhaps most talked about is the place of this city in the history of the electric light and telephone. This metropolis was the second in the world to make use of the electric light. For a time proud citizens laid claim to first honors, but just- as-proud-citizcns of the City of New York pointed out that Appleton had missed that honor by the short period of two weeks. All the glory, however, was not taken away, since they still can claim the first electricity in a residence, and the first to make use of hydroelectric power. The first residence to be wired still stands and remains for investigation under the familiar name of the Hearthstone restaurant.
The city, furthermore, came close to claiming first place honors

A Cappella Members Resting
Up From Eventful VacationBy Mary C. Cox
The willing martyrs who a r c
members of A Cappelia climbed
off the Winnebago Limited at its
usual half-an-hour-late condition
on Monday evening after Easter. We refreshed our memories that night at a “pretend concert” and tried to amalgamate the “57 varieties” into somewhat of a unit.
Tuesday morning came and after a brief dash to Snides, we straggled into a rehearsal at ten o’clock. By noon we were ready for the light lunch at Brokaw. “Old Man River Vanselow” got a good start on the rest of the boys by decidirg on the lucky girl by eating with seven unsuspecting freshmen.
Stayed in Private Homes The busses were scheduled to
leave at two o’clock, so by one- thirty most of the members were there except the inevitable minute men. (last minute) Zuelke and Johnson. Shortly after two they arrived, so we started for Stevens Point, j Upon arrival, we received our private home assignments, and it seems that Bill Dutcher was an unwanted quantity, because he was assigned to the hotel. Adding insult to injury, the hotel manager asked him if he needed a bath! Back to the high school for dinner of you’ll hever guess what—meat loaf, cscallopcd potatoes—and milk for the tenors.
The concert—a previous pretense —woe! The tenors have been mentioned before so we won’t say anything about that entity. After this "rehearsal” we didn’t need one the next morning, but had a warm up in the afternoon at our next stop, Chippewa Falls, before our most appreciative audience made up of high school students. C^hey got out of classes. > Looking forward to what was to come, the A Cappelia went off to their assigned homes (with the exception of a representative number of the Betas).
Curfew Hastens Dusk Even the tenors cooperated to
make this one of our best concerts with the exception of the fatal hour of nine o’clock, when the curfew—now modernized into a siren —tried to give us the pitch in order to hasten the “Dusk of Night”. After the concert we were entertained royally, especially Campbell, Burger, Morton, and Haak—tiddley winks was the game of the evening and popcorn and cokes were served to the enthusiastic guests.

our rehearsal bright and early the
next morning, she burst out (in the
wrong place) with “Now *tis time
for slumber." After this brilliant
rehearsal, we started off for the
city, arriving in style at the Curtis
where “the guest is king.” As it
was the first visit to Minneapolis
for most of us, our afternoon was filled with “Ecstasy.”
We had a formal (?) dinner on
the college in the main dining room of the hotel that night and even there we had the eternal problem of “long or short.” The telephone wires were buzzing with those two words from five o’clock on until everyone decided to wear what each had planned originally. The Judge’s traditional birthday during the tour was interrupted by John Rosebush because, when we sang to the Judge, John stood up and took the bow along with him. Soon after the Judge was presented with his “birthday cigar”, he excused himself. Can it be that he didn’t trust the donors to give him a smokable cigar?
We finally arrived at the Art institute to find that the dressing room was one screen across the corner of a large room in which everyone congregated to change from choir robes to formal attire. After the concert, the busses returned us safely to the hotel and from that point until 9:15 the next morning, individual choir members will have to be referred for details.
After a light breakfast of grapefruit, tomato juice, etc., we started for home. The boys' bus became a cesspool this time, including girls, and the girls’ bus became a literary club. The material was “Wild West Thrilling" and "Have a Good Time, Dear* The nearer we came to Appleton the harder ft rained so we really felt at home in ihe downpour which greeted our arrival.

Student Surveys
Keep Finger on
‘Pulse’ of Youth
Eighty-Five Institutions Participate in Weekly
National Poll
"It behooves us . . . to allow
youth to have its say . . . if we
are going to keep ourselves ready
to face the world of tomorrow,"
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt de
clared in a radio address not long
ago. And today just that is hap
pening, and the Lawrentian is do
ing its part by publishing the week-by-week polls of the Student Opinion Surveys of America.
For the first time in the history of American democracy college youth now has a regularly-recurring sounding board for its opinions, which may well be said are the opinions that will mold the destinies of the future United States. The scientific sampling referenda of the Student Opinion Surveys are presenting a composite picture of campus thinking—and for the first time actually represent all collegians of the country, because all types of students are in eluded in the carefully - selected cross-section.
Reach 85 InstitutionsAt regular intervals ballots
from the Surveys headquarters at The University of Texas reach 85 key institutions in every part of the nation. Staff interviewers go i n t o dormitories, boarding houses, lounges, balls, and ask scries of questions that have been pretested for their neutral working. Within a week returns begin to come back to Austin, Texas, and electrical machines are tabulating the returns, which are then summarized and mailed back to '.he Lawrentian and other member publications. Nearly 3,000 mathematically-distributed ballots a re used in each poll, which statistically provide an adequate sample of the entire student enrollment. Methods used are identical to those of the Gallup and Fortune polls of recognized authority.
If from a huge switchboard every college and university in the country could be wired to a master meter that would show how the majority feels, these would be the results, as indicated by the polls that have been taken sir.ee December.
On the whole, American s t u- dents are a liberal lot, but th e majority are quite serious about the political and social problems that confront them. They have a great dislike for war and would think twice before volunteering for a foreign conflict in which the U. S. had a part. But if Hitler is going to get rambunctions, t h e y favor strong armaments, aid to the democracies, and pilot training bases on their own campuses. Should they ever have to make a choice between communism and fascism, they’d follow Marx—at least 56 percent of them.
Roosevelt Still PopnlsrPresident Roosevelt is still a
favorite American figure with a large portion of the student bodies, 63 percent. H o w e v e r , they are in perfect agreement with an equal majority of the rank and file of voters in opposing a third term. Also in line with adult voters, they believe relief appropri-

ations needed the slashes Con

Ask students about education,
and you will get some definite an
swers. If they were running the schools they’d adopt the Chicago plan of non-compulsory class attendance and would require that every one take a marriage course. College football, they hold, will always be more popular than the professional game.Students Don’t Drink Too Much In their opinion, American stu
dents do not drink too much and prohibition was a mistake that should not be tried again. Six out of every ten readily admit that t h e y indulge in intoxicating beverages at some time or other. Students cast their biggest majority vote, 94 percent, on the question. "Do you believe a blood test before marriage to detect veneral disease should be required by law?”
The Surveys, which are operated entirely by undergraduates, are “a very significant piece of work,” believes Dr. Homer Price Rainey, director of the American Youth commission and well known tor his studies of young people's needs. "I think it will help at all times for the public to know how our youth are reacting to conditions that are facing them,” he says.

BACK to the classes it is, and back it also is to get into bull sessions where spicy bits so
often come floating our way . . .
One of the rarest bits that has grac
ed our hearing apparatus recently
was the news that our old and cherished friend — no doubt you’ve heard of him — PETE McCRAE is playing or at least attempting to play a big brother act to one of the nicer girls in Sage. They tell us that he has even used GRAF and GRAY as assistants in the deal . . . It’s old news now, but then it’s always news when—BETTINGHAUS hooks another man. The difference this time is that we understand she is playing for keeps (maybe our guess is). But then at least officially she is going steady with "Her Man BILL’’! . . .
It was a rather swank affair at Ormsby hall the other night. Those who attended found themselves in what their hosts intended them to think was a Hawaiian atmosphere. It was a formal shin-dig but JEAN WEST mentioned the fact that for a while the girls considered wearing grass skirts and intended to invite the partners to bring lawn mowers. Sounds funny especially when one knows that she came upstairs afterwards telling everyone that she had gotten a pin but then admitted that she hadn’t but wanted one special one oh so badly!. . . It’s very doubtful whether this will ever get beyond the censors in Main hall basement, but no doubt you have all heard that JACK—NEVER HANG YOUR PIN—WHITE finally did that little thing last week. After watching WILLIE DAVIS and M ILDRED NELSON go through their

paces at a party in Chicago, he and JOAN GLASOW decided that maybe it was worth the risk after all . . . HARRIETT PETERS and BOB EVERETT also flipped the coin and decided to take a fling at it. It was a tough fight, PETE, but you finally turned the trick . . . HELEN PEDLEY also has a piece of metal attached to her anchor these days. .. It isn’t a pin but it is her man’s fraternity pin guard. You know how it is — he just couldn't bear parting with the real thing! . . BETTY MOORE also got her clamps onto one of those things, only she didn’t get a pin guard — she got a high school pin. Never mind though BETTY, JIM MOODY may get his grades yet and Sig Ep pins do go well with the Theta pins. . .
TALKING of pins we’re going to take a long shot and let you in on our speculations. Unless
we're all wrong, you can count on the following fraternity pins changing hands before the portals of this lofty institution close for the summer pionths! BOB HRUDKA is in a bad way and you'll see his Delt pin go most any day npw to little SUSAN DUNCAN. His brother CRAIG HIRST also has that look in his eye and BOBBIE BEALL will have an addition to her anchor before long. MAUREEN MAY will have BOB MOLL’S Beta pin before many a moon has passed. ED BAY*- LEY will be wearing his own Beta pin before long and it is our wager that before Christmas of this year another brother will be the donor of an implement to ALLYN JOY. The affair between VIRGINIA DROLSHAGEN and AL MATT- MILLER looks like a real case and
unless something happens in the meantime, DROLSY and AL will go the way of all flesh before long. Another affair doomed to reach its climax this season is that between JEAN DOERR and GEORGE BENNETTS of cage fame. SALLY JOHNSON is another girl with that look in her eyes and BUMPS DEBAUFER looks that way to6 so watch for a chain on that Theta pin. Watch our average, and regret with us over t h e fact that. BILL OWEN hasn't got a Sig Ep pin yet. We know, you know, and JANET WEBER knows that she'd like it too. . . .
They tell us that GLADYS DETT- MAN really went in for politics in a big way in the recent elections when she went so far as to promise one candidate that she’d marry him if he won. The catch and the worried look along with it came when the poor soul crossed the old girl up and won the thing. Who's sorry now? No doubt you have all heard that offices have been opened up for the “Dewey for President club,” but did you know that there is a new female organization on campus which is to be entitled the "MORE SMOOTH DATES FOR BODILLY CLUB”? Plans to open campaign headquarters soon are underway and in the meantime his campaign is being planned by many trusty lieutenants. Goodbye now, and we’ll see yen next week. . . .

Newman Club
Elects Officers
Kathryn Tuchseherer President: Miller
Vice-Presitlent
Is
On Sunday, April 1, Newman club, young peoples Catholic organization, held its £irs>t meeting of the year at the Catholic home, 218 West Washington street. The meeting was called by Father Gerard, assistant pastor oi St. Joseph’s parish, and the sponsor of this organization in past years. The meeting was devoted to the drawing up of plans for the remainder of the school year and for next year especially. Father Gerard explained that he wished to get a well-founded organization started, so that activities could be resumed immediately after the opening of school next September. Officers were elected and committees chosen. Those elected were: Kathryn Tuchsherer, president, Pay Miller, vice-president, and Monica Worsely, secretary-treasurer. After a discussion, the members voted to meet bi-weekly on Sunday afternoons. The meetings are to consist of a talk by Father Gerard, followed by an informal, open forum, entertainment, and a supper. The rest of the time is turned over to the pleasure of the membera.
The first regular meeting was held Sunday, April 15. Father Gerard spoke on evolution, discussing this topic from philosophic, scientific, and theological points of view.
Newman Club is organized for the purpose of bringing together the Catholic students at Lawrence, both ns a religious and social 'group. It enables them to hear and discuss matters concerning their faith and consolidate their ideas. ,The Knights of Columbus have pledged financial assistance, if needed, but the club is run and iupported entirely by its members. .There are approximately 90 Caih- «ltc students at Lawrence, who rrc
Tests Show Two of Every 1,000
College Students Have SyphilisBlood tests of 78,388 undergrad
uates in more than 500 American colleges indicate that 2 out of every1,000 students examined are infected with syphilis, according to a report just issued by the American Social Hygiene association, a rate which is practically the same as that of non-college young people of the same age.
These findings are incorporated in a study prepared by staff members of the United States Public Health service for the monthly journal of the American Social Hygiene association.
The rate of infection for the general population in the age group 15-19 years, based on estimates of the Public Health service issued in November, 1938. is about 1.8 per 1,000. The apparently higher college rate results from the inclusion of an unknown number of students in higher age groups up to 24 in the present survey.
Less Prevalent Among WomenOther findings of th e survey
show an indicated difference of about 15 per cent less syphilis among college women than among men, a difference, it may be noted, paralleling nationwide prevalence rates by sexes. There is also a slightly lower rate among college women than among women of the same age group at large. Little difference is shown, however, between one region in the United States and another for either sex, or between the rates for schools with large as compared to small student bodies.
Blood tests in colleges, when given at all. are usually given to entering students — mostly freshmen — so that the great majority

of those tested were in the age
group between 15 and 19. Out of
the 515 institutions participating in
this survey 219, or over 40 per cent, already have facilities f o r testing students. Of those giving tests, 89 per cent gave tests on a selective basis, while 11 per cent —actually only 23 schools — gave tests as a routine part of the physical examination.
Students selectively tested in all schools, large and small, represented not more than 15 per cent of the total student enrollment of the schools, while routine tests were made on virtually all of the enrollment group (freshmen) under consideration. Since the rate per 1,000 tests by both selective and routine methods was found to be practically identical, the number of positive tests is therefore governed by the number of tests given. The number of cases found in a given student population, then, is in direct relation to the number of students tested regardless of methods of selecting.
Need Routine Blood TestsBecause failure to detect the oft
en hidden clinical manifestations of syphilis is so frequent and because many infected persons do not know that they have syphilis and therefore do not request examinations, testing by selective method results in many actual cases of the disease among college students remaining undetected. The report stresses the need for routine blood Jesting.
Two-thixds of the college officials approached believed some method of testing is desirable. A fair proportion of the officials, as indicated by their replies, are still of the opinion that syphilis is bounded by class or racial lines, and hence think that blood testing is unnecessary in colleges.
Perhaps the * noteworthy fact found by this survey is its indica-

tion that the majority of college administration officials, however, are ¡fast beginning to realize the necessity for fighting syphilis on every front — including the college campus. In many instances, this realization, according to the report, “seems almost intuitive.”
“A case of syphilis found is of great importance for what it is, no rhatter where it may be discovered. One case of syphilis spreads to others, finally becoming the focal point of a small epidemic. Early diagnosis and treatment is protection not only to the individual, but to the community. Public health authorities agree that control efforts, to be effective, must begin with individuals in the age-group of first exposure. College students form an important section of this group. Control in this age-group offers real — perhaps the only — hope that the general rate can be materially reduced.”
Spring May Come
Yet Says Writet
Of This Epistle
Spring—sweet spring—or have I
misplaced a season in my calcu
lations? Surely April is supposed
to be the month when trees blos
som forth with their green apparel,
and shy little flowers peep coyly
from the lengthening blades of
grass. There should be warm, lus
cious, perfume-scented evenings in
April, according to the most auth
oritative poets, and the sun should
be warm enough for profitable sun-baths—but it isn't.
And what about love? Love is
most prevalent, and couples most susceptible in this delightful month —and pins wend their way from masculive vests to frilly blouses— but we’ve only had two current swappings.
What is wrong then? The grass and flowers and trees have potentialities, the sun is still in the heavens, the pins are still given by the fraternities, the couples still pair off—and this is April! What can be the discouraging element to these manifestations of spring?
The weather? Ah—yes—if t h e trees can’t bud in this freezing, blustering, rainy, sloppy climate, how can love?—a n d vice-versa? Blame it on the elements, Ye impatient Lawrentians, a n d think upon blistering July as you huddle in your raccoon.
