The traditional 'Chnstmas pa-geant which will be presentedThursday evening, December 18,at 8 :00 p.m., in Palmer Auditori-um will have a Mexican legend asits motif. The pageant will portraythe annual Mexican fiesta held ev-ery December 12 when the peas-ants gather at the church of Guad-alupe in honor of the Virgin whoappeared there to a native in thesixteenth century.According to the college tradi-

tion, the pageant committee) com-posed of the senior art majors, se-lect from among the members ofthe senior class, a madonna, whoseidentity is not disclosed until thenight of the pageant.These art majors) with the help

of the art faculty, have planned theentire pageant. This year, to unifythe pageant, the reading of thescriptures by Dr. Paul Laubensteinand Dr. Gerard E. Jensen will beincorporated into the church scene.Dr. jensen will also act as nar-rator for the legend. The Spanishcarol, the choral speaking in Span-ish, and the costuming of the sev-enty students and faculty in theprocession will carry out the Mexi-can atmosphere.The legend of the pageant is

based on the revelation of the Vir-gin to a devout Indian named] uanDiego. Tradition says that in thesixteenth century, as ] uan was onhis way to church, he heard a mel-ody of sweet music. Upon looking

The i\'ew London Oratorio So-ciety opened its tenth season 01,

December I J with the presentationof The A1essiah by George Fred-eric Handel. The performance waspreceded by a prayer ginn by Cap-tain John lV. :Moore, Chaplain,U.S.N., and both the audience andchorus stood to sing the nationalanthem. The beautiful and in.spired music that followed assumeda greater significance in the mindsof the hearers than ever before.Colonel Lambdin conducted withhis accustomed energy and dexter.ity, and the chorus responded withresonance and solidarity. Their in-terpretation of Handel's noblecomposition showed real apprecia-tion and knowledge of the music.The enunciation was faultless andthe quality of tone superb.Suzanne Fisher as soprano sole-

ist added a great deal with herdear, well-controlled voice. Shenot only read her music-she readmeaning into it. Edwina Eustis,contralto, sang her part with abil-ity. Wellington Ezekiel left noth-ing to be desired in his interpreta-tion of the bass solo, and CliffordMenz, although apparently havinga little trouble with his throat, didvery well.The unity of tone produced by

the chorus was notable. In a groupof that size it is a real achievementwhen the separate rhythms of allthe parts blend into a given tempoto reach all parts of an auditoriumas a whole. Accompanied by anable orchestra of thirty-five pieces,the society gave an outstanding andmemorable performance of Han-del's immortal Messiah.

Air Raid PrecautionsAre Outlined By Pres.At College Assembly

The measures being taken to in-sure the college's safet} duringwar-time were outlined by Presi-dent Katharine Blunt in a specialcollege assembly in Palmer Audi-torium Tuesday morning, Decem-ber 16. The President spoke asfollows:"You will all agree that there

are three vital things that we mustdo at this time: do our own work,win the war, and look out for oursafety. I called you all together ro-day to tell you about the latter, al-though the three are not entirelyseparate. What we are doing hereat college is part of the natio~lalCivilian Defense plan. Anythinglearned here can be applied to yoursafety at home for vacation or fornext summer. Good civilian de-fense is necessary for successfuldanger precautions. At a meetingin Washington it was said that ~four civilian defense is good there ISmuch less danger of attack than ifit is poor. It is important to re-member that although some pre-cautions will seem unnecessary andwholly boresome, we are doingthem for the civilian defense of thecountry at large and we have to dothem."We were greatly reassured

Tuesday afternoon by the excell~ntbehavior of you students. Dunngthe false alarm we learned a fewthings, and altogether it was agood practice."Reminding the students that

they must keep their self-control,the President explained the precau-tions being taken for the college's

Russia's RoleThe great coalitions of the world

powers are still waiting to see justwhat the role of Russia will be. Asit stands now Russia will apparent-ly do little about Japan preferringto rid herself of the .Nazi threat.However, though the Russiansmay not heIp us with overt action,they could be of great benefit tothe· U.S. if they would allow usaccess to their bases.' Through suchusc, the U.S. could avail itself of asort of cross rough; loading itsships with bombs on its own shores,dropping them on Japan; flying onto Russia where they could re-Ioadand start all over again. So far,Russia has not been particularlyco-operative. She has allowed noneof her allies to study her militarymethods, nor does she admit whatis done with the money loaned her.Evidently war in the Pacific is notto. het liking since it means lesssupplies to her and somewhat of aslackening in the war in the west.Bill Of Rights DayWith the r 50th anniversary of

the Bill of Rights this week it is in-teresting to note the developmentsin censorship. Already voluntarycensorship has begun operating onnewspapers. Now efforts are beingmade to centralize the administra-tion of censorship in order to makethe work more complete. With thegreat growth of radio it is muchmore difficult to keep strict cen-sorial control. Right nowl thestrictest control is perforce on out~going news, because of the strategicvalue it might have.

Dear Editor:For all of those who agree with last week's

criticism of "Superstition," I should like to call at-tention to the fact that this play was first producedin 1824. Speaking for the actors and the directors,we endeavored to>=> recapture the spirit in which theplay was first done. .

Perhaps the "college audience" does not realizethat plays of that era were naturally written in whatseems to us stilted, "difficult to understand" dia-logue. Perhaps the "college audience"is unaware thatsuch plays endeavored to take the audience into theplayas much as possible; thus many times charactel:sturned out of a scene and spoke directly to the audi-ence. Perhaps, too, the "college audience" is sosteeped in twentieth century realism that it demands"real dramatic fire" in a scene; in a play like "Super-stition" such fire merely serves to take the action outof the realm of the uI~iversal into the realm of theinsignificant individual. In all plays, but especiallyin "Superstition," the message behind the superficialactions is the major point. To my mind, the "collegeaudience" is made up of individuals who are sup-posedly representatives of a higher intellectualleveI,and not of fish-mongers who are seeking raucous en-tertainment.

Perhaps individuals do not realize that the menwho take pent in our productions give their time vol-untarily; in fact, they are doing us a great favor inacting in our plays. Therefore, if we callnot givethem complimentary criticism for their sincere ef-forts, we do not criticize them at all.

Shirley E. Wilde' 42Planning Brings ResultsIn the short ten days since the United States en-

tered the war, Connecticut collegel which long be-fore that time had carried on an extensive defenseprogram, has taken even more important and far-reaching steps for defense preparation and precau-60n.

no tissue paper and ribbon; they go straight fromheart to heart.

Giving in this deeper sense does not exhaust ourown supply of values, but rather increases that ofothers. Thus may we humbly offer our gifts to atroubled world-gifts that may increase a little thesense of spiritual unity, of earthly brotherhood, ofhope and faith. Thus may we share in the true spiritof Christmas which will continue to shed lightthrough all times of stress and sacrifice, and whichwill endure to shine on a more peaceful world.

A New Spirit Of ChristmasMost of us remember the last Christmas on

campus-how hearts began to feel the thrill ofChristmas spirit early in December; how that firsttremor of excitement grew into contagious merrinessand joy until wherever a group of girls formed, aspontaneous outburst of "Jingle Bells" would occur.

See "New Spirit"-Page 5

The Season Of Giving"It is more blessed to give than to receive."The Christmas season is a time of giving. The

holiday itself is the celebration of the birthday of th"greatest Giver of all time- the One who gave Hisvery life for the suffering peoples of this earth. 1\.layHis spirit of unselfish generosity be ours at this sea-son and throughout the year to come.

Yes) Christmas is a time of giving, but whatshall be our gifts? First, of course, we think of thetissue-wrapped, gaily be-ribboned presents whichwill occupy places of honor under every Christmastree. The exchanging of gifts among relatives andfriends has become a vital part of our Christmas tra-dition, a symbolic as well as a material gesture.

But the Christmas spirit implies giving in abroader, deeper sense than this. It implies the givingof spiritual as well as material gifts. This year itseems more important than ever that we shouldstress this less tangible but more permanent aspect ofthe Christmas season. The things which money can-not buy are the most precious presents of alll andeach of us has some of these valuable gifts to share.At Christmas time, as at all times, ,'ve should give alittle bit of ourselvesl not just of our pocketboaks.

If we could but give to others a little of ourown faith, our friendship, our hopeI Our courage, asmall unpretentious gift of loyalty, of encourage-ment, of love, of the determination to look ahead tohappier times and truer values, we would be givingmore wonderful gifts than all the fabulous treasuresin Santals proverbial pack. Such gifts as these need

Louis Bromfield has written an-other exciting novel, Wild Is theRiver) to add to his fast growinglist of best-sellers. Leaving India,the scene of his last two books, hetakes his reader in Wild is the Riv-er to New Orleans-the .wildand turbulent New Orleans of thetime of- the Yankee occupation.This is not another tale of ragingCivil War battles but rather a pic-ture of the life in a once proudcity now thoroughly terrorized,anl a testament to the courage ofthe citizens who would not takedefeat as final.The story moves quicklYl follow-

ing the footsteps of several charac-ters alternately; however, Mr.Bromfield has succeeded in weav-ing together most skillfully thelives and adventures of these peo-pIe: the proud, passionate, andbeautiful Baroness de Uche; thehandsome, egotistical NIajor TornRedIae; the reserved, yet strong-willed, little Agnes Wicks and herunderstanding Aunt Tam; thebrave and gallant Hector Mac-Tavish, leader of the New' Orleanspatriots j the baudy house Madame,La Lionne; and Agnesl dreamy,gentle poet-brother, David.To give any sort of hint as to

the course of the novel would notonly be difficult, because the scenesshift so rapidly, but would also beunfair to the prospective reader, asthe unexpected is always more in-teresting and intriguing. Let it suf~fiee to say that it is an account ofexciting adventure, of war·tornNew Orleans as history books donot paint it, and of love in its wild~est and its quietest forms.Wild is the River does not per~

The most fundamental thingabout Democracy is the consciousdetermination of those who havechosen the democratic way of lifeto preserve it.Democracy is the fundamental

expression of the spirit of humanfreedom-not merely of govern-mental form, which is simply a by-product. Democracy is an ideaborn of an instinctive knowledgein the mind and heart and spirit ofman that he was created by God togrow and develop outside of bond-age.A democratic state is established

with that idea as its foundation,and while such a state can be de-stroyed, the idea is indestructible.In recent times democratic stateshave been destroyed by superiorforce of arms-they have also beendestroyed by the apathy of thosewho chose democracy yet disre-garded the "fundamental thing"and relaxed their conscious deter-mination to protect and preservethe democratic way of life.Upon those who choose or inher-

NewRule Require!'Students Sign OutDuring DaytimeDue to the national emergency,

Cabinet has decided that studentsmust sign out when they leavecampus in the daytime, as well asafter 7 :30 p.m. This is a precau-tionary matter, so that all studentscan be located immediately in caseof emergency. For this reason, stu-dents are asked to sign out for thespecific place or places they intendto go. For example, instead of sim-ply signing out for "town," or"movies," state where ill to,WH. orwhat theater. The regular sign outsystem is to be used, and the regu-lar Honor Court penalties followfor failure to sign out correctly.This regulation is to become .ef-fective immediately after Christ-mas vacation.

Boston Symphony Returns ToCampus Jan. 7 For ConcertSerge KoussevitzkyHas Led OrchestraSeventeen Years

play the best music in the be t way,and give concerts to all who couldpay a small price" was :\1r. Hig-ginson's principal thought.George Henschel, the first con-

ductor, was a musician of idealsand high purposes, and if he wasmore youthful than experienced inhis task, his contribution to the or-chestra's auspicious beginnings wasconsiderably appreciated. In 1884he left a promising, if not yet per-fect orchestra, in the hands of hissuccessor, Wilhelm Gericke. Un-der Gericke, the Boston Symphonymade its New York debut in 1888which may be put down as the firstreal step in the orchestra's ascen-dency to world prominence. Underthe able conduction of Nikisch,Paur, Muck, and Monteux the or-chestra continued its success.The engagement of Serge Kous-

sevitz.ky in 1924 to take over thedestinies of the orchestra, resultedin a further advance of their reper-toire. An expatriate who has livedin Germany, France, and visitedEngland, he has closely identifiedhimself with the musical culture ofeach country. In the years to fol-low, America's composers andAmerica's musical point of viewbecame equally familiar to him.His sympathies know no border,nor does he neglect contemporarycurrents in his preoccupation withthe great music of the past.Mr. Koussevitzky has led the or-

chestra for more than a quarter ofits history, far exceeding the ten-ure of any previous leader. Kousse-vitzky is known to create a spellover both sophisticates and novicesin his audience. The great Bostonleader requires that an orchestralscore possess beauty or challengeinterest.The Boston Symphony is re-

nowned for its Berkshire concertseach August.

The celebrated Boston Sym-phony, cond ucted by Serge Kousse-vitzky, returns for its second con-cert at Connecticut college onWednesday, January 7, at 8 :30, inthe Palmer auditorium. The or-chestra is now in its sixty-first year.The inception of the Boston

Symphony orchestra is traceable to

SERGE KOUSSEVlTZKY

the realization of a young Bos-tonian student of music, HenryLee Higginson, that Americashould have a symphony orchestraof the high standard which onecould hear in the old worId. Mr.Higginson held tenaciously to hisdream for more than twenty yearsuntil at last, inl88l, he had ac-quired sufficient means and sixtymusicians to make it a fact. Tocreate "an orchestra which should

For the Christmas spirit ofshining trees, candles, soft lightsand gay music made So ph Hop atruly unforgettable weekend.At the tea dance Saturday after-

noon, freshmen and upperclassmen,drawn to Knowlton salon by theclever publicity stunts of TeedoLincoln '44, joined the sophomoresin pronouncing Tiny Quinn's or-chestra a decided succe ..;s. Tinyplayed music to please every ear:waltzes, polkas, congas and, for thestill vigorous ones, a bumpsadaisy.The decorated cup-cakes and sand-wiches, planned by Miss Harrisand a committee under SallyChurch '44, were especially goodboth to look upon and consume.Miss Oakes, Miss Bethurum, Mrs.Seward and Miss Warner pouredcoffee.On entering the ballroom Satur-

day night at nine o'clock one firstsaw the ten freshmen waitresses--what an eyeful! They floatedabout looking lovely in costumesmade with bouffant white netskirts and fitted red velveteen bod-ices and mistletoe tied in their hairwith red velvet ribbons. The wait-resses took each couple down thereceiving line where they met inturn Suzanne Harbert '44, thesophomore social chairman, andher escort Nels Bois, PresidentBlunt, Dean Burdick, and the hon- _

orary members of the class of '44,Dr. and Mrs. Daghlian, MissElizabeth Hartshorn, Dr. andMrs. Sanchez, and lastly Sue Bal-derston '44, class president and herescort, Joseph Cochrane.The decorations, carried out un-

der the direction of Diane Goes'44, created a beautifully Christ-masy atmosphere. The bandstandwas banked at the sides and theback with Christmas trees bright-ened with touches of silver tinsel,and the front was trimmed by astring of red lights runningthrough boughs of greens. A huge,jovial Santa Claus, painted byMarge Geupel '44, beamed fromover the mantel from his laurelframe. The faculty corner becamea cozy living-room scene withpackages and chairs drawn uparound the lighted Christmas tree.The indirect lights, covered withred cellophane, filled the roomwith a warm, rosy, and fortunatelyflattering glow.As for Tiny Quinn's orchestral

After the invocationnd Lord's Prayer, the choir ren-~ered two cheerful Christmassongs: Willoughby's Joseph CameSeeking a Restivo Place, andCornelius-Damrosch's ChristmasSong; after the scripture lesson, thechoir again sang, first, StrangersSay a King is Born and then, SleepBaby Sleep, two Czechoslovakianfolk songs.A Christmas litany written by

Dr. Laubenstein asked deliveranceof the people from "absorption inself from dullness of soul, fromble~k sophistication" and was fol-lowed by a choral response. Thecongregation joined with the choir

~ .si.nging Good Christian :\leneJ~lce. Dr. Laubenstein gave aChnstmas meditation in which hemade a comparison between thespell of Good Friday and the spellof c;hnstmas, designating theirmeaning. He also added that Jesuscasts a. spell Over men in the moraland SPlfltual realms, raising theirconcepts and consequently theirgoals.

Two carols sung by the choir,joseph and the Shepherds~ aFrench folksong, and d s l t CameUpon the Night, an English folk-s~ng, were followed by the peren-nial favorite, Hark the Herald dn-aels ~i1~g~with the entire congrega-tron JOll1l11gin.

Russell Limbach Of Vox Pop SponsorsWesleyan Lecture Coast Guard AndOn Lithograph A C.c. FreshmanRussell Limbach gave the lasr in

a series of demon tranon-Iectureswhich have been a laboratory ex.tension of Graphic Art~ on Frida)',December 12. HIS ubject was theprocess of making a lithograph.~1r.Limbach is an artist 10 resi-

dence at Wesleyan Lniversiry. Heworks independently there, but ha,had about twenty students work-ing under him. His main interesthas been multiple color litho-graphs.The lithograph process I.. a

unique one among the graphic arts,and is based on the fact that waterand oil do not mix. The unusualcharacteristic of the lithograph isthat the ink is laid on the surfaceof the paper, while in the intaglioprocesses (etching, drypoint, etc.)the ink is raised abo\e the surface,and in the relief proce~es (wood-CUt, wood engraving, etc.) the ink.is pressed below the surface of thepaper,Mr. Limbach wa~ not trying to

produce a great work of an ill hi~demonstration, but wi~hed only toshow how the different lithographpencils give different effects, vary-ing from deep dark~ to delicategreys.The artist answered questions

from the audience and remarkedthat he never had had all audiencewhich was so obviously intere~tedin the "whys" of the lithograph,It is generally thought that the~e

demonstrations have been extreme-ly valuable to the stuclcllts who at·tended, and it is evident from theattendance of the townspeoplethat they also considered them jill·mensely interesting and instructive.It is therefore hoped th,lt next yearthese lectures will be carried 011and may be broadened to includepainting as well as graphic arts.

the students, the posting of air raiddirections, and of general safetyprecautions, and the designation ofthe "safest place" in each Duddingon campus, are all evidences offruitful planning aud activity.On Tuesday morning, following

the general college assembly in Pal-mer auditorium, the first drill inleaving the auditorium during anemergency was admirably directedby Miss Brett and the fire cap-tains. The members of the largemeeting conducted themselvescalmly and quietly. This drillshowed careful organization, anddemonstrated the businesslike man-ner with which a crowd can act illtimes of emergency.We feel that Connecticut col-

lege deserves praise for its attitudeand its activities since the war dec·la;ation. Not only did the com-munity behave in a calm, orderlymanner during last week's alarmand subsequent drills, but also ithas been looking ahead and prepar-ing itself to meet future events inthe same way. Above all, however,we wish to commend the adminis-tration and the Defense committeefor their immediate and completeattention to our very vital precau-tionary needs. We hope that weshall never actually, need to use themeasures they have provided forour protection j we hope that wemay be right in thinking that thebetter prepared we are for an emer-gency, the less likely w~ are tohave to use those preparatIOns j butshould the time corne .when. we ~ndourselves in a dangerous SituatiOn,we shall find our danger greatlylessened by the farsightedness ofthe administration and the Defensecornm~it:::te::.:e::.. _

'Twas The WeekBefore VacationBy Hem!oo Rlesner '4~""'J\vas the week before vacation, all

over the campus,Soph hop was over-no more men

to vamp us;So eyes turned to Christmas, away

from all books,'Twas silly to study-it's not books

llQW~ but looks!

All the teachers lost hope, threwtheir hands in the air,

And their raven black locks turnedto snowy white hair.

Our profs closed their class books,'cause marks couldn't count j

'Twas spirits, not book marks, thatnow chose to mount.

There were keys lost, and sleeplost, and trunks wouldn'tclose,

And the post office reeked tales offeminine woes;

'Cause Jack didn't come throughfor New Year's eve night,

Sweet tears were oft shed for eachsaddened girl's plight.

'Twas the night before vacation,all through the dorm,

Each creature was stirring---eachmaidenly form.

The stockings were hung in thedrier with care,

In hopes that the heat would soondry the pair.

Dear old Santa rings sleigh bells incrisp winter snow,

But our Conn. belles ring clear ina new formal's glow.

The stag lines all pale as our galsdance on by,

(On "that's what it sez here," wegasp with a sigh) .

The days till vacation sure can becalled daze j

Our poor creaky brains work In

such a mad maze.New formulas pop up in Chem

class each da).''1~hat vaguely resemble that Yale

football play.All we ask of you, Santa, is please,

please come quick,The old heart's worn with run*

ning, it needs your gay kick.The stockings are low, and the

budget's run out,1"'he date book right now isn't

what you'd call stout!

Here's my stocking, all hung bythe chimney with carc,

In hopes that you'll fill it-well,not with just air.

I know I'm not subtle, but justnow it's hard

To go around beaming like someChristmas card!
