forum Discusses NewBooks On Religion

Forum this week took a . new andinteresting form, a display and dis-cussion of "books that feed the soul,"with Myra Whittaker, Rev. Mr. Metz-ner, and Mr. Kenneth Smith describ->mg- nd.recommendiiig,J£eir^religious books.

Miss Whittaker spoke of the factthat college students in the massmight be accused of "religious illiter-acy" :and particularly recommendedthe very recent books of this, type be-cause religious vocabulary is chang-ing rapidly, and to remain vitally in-teresting authors must pour "oldtruths into new molds." She describ-ed several books that college stu-dents shotild get acquainted with.

Rev. Mr. Metzner 'brought oxit thevalue of "Modern Use of the Bible,"by Fosdick, stressing the need of apositive approach to its teachings,rather than an attitude of "here issomething I do not believe." KenSmith managed to make the readingof sermons sound fascinating, ex-plaining the value of following oneidea through in a thorough develop-ment instead of jumping from onehigh spot of thinking to another, asin most religious books. Fosdick'ssermons were specially recommended.

The good points of several modernhooks were then explained by MyraWhittaker, who urged that sttidentstake advantage of the inspirationalhooks in the Colby and the Metho-dist Church Library,

Pf of. WilkinsonDeclines To Run

For GovernorPersonal Affairs Prevent A

Political Entrance

Professor "William J. Wilkinson haslet it be known emphatically thatthere is absolutely no truth to therumor that he has accepted an offerto run as a Democratic candidate forgovernor in the June primaries. Pro-fessor Wilkinson , failed to , commenton the identity of those who had con-tacted him, and did not hesitate toadmit that some had been to see himrelative to his entrance into politicson a big scale.

"I was approached but my personalaffairs will not permit my enteringinto politics. I'm out of the pictureentirely," he said.

Professor Wilkinson is an ardentDemocrat and a great believer in theteachings of the late President Wood-row Wilson. However, he has neverdevoted much of his time to the mat-ter of public office.

In the spring municipal election of1983 he was a Democratic candidatefor alderman in ward four, defeatinga Republican foe by 60 votes in this,a strong Republican ward. The fol-lowing spring in seeking re-election,however, Professor Wilkinson wasdefeated by 53 votes'. These twoelections have been the extent of hispolitical endeavors in Waterville.

Sport Of Skiing IsGaining In favor

Dartmouth Goach WritesAn Interesting Book On

Skiing Technique

Ronald "Bus" Brown, a formerWaterville High, Hebron Academy,and Dartmouth athlete, who is atpresent employed in the H. R. Dun-ham. Company store, has severalbooks on skiing on display at thestore. One of them is entitled "Mod-ern Ski Technique" and was writtenby Otto Schniebs, coach of the Dart-mouth -Ski Team, and John W. Mc-Crillis.

Siding is an exhilexating sport, asport which requires plenty of energyand nerve, and to those willing tosupply these two elements,.'it affordsunexpressible pleasure. The skiingbird is something like the golfing bug.He doesn't know why he skis so muchexcept that he likes it and anytimehe can't think of anything else to dohis mind naturally turns to thoseglistening polished hickories, or what-ever dimension or wood his personalpair may happen to be.

The skier's affection in centeredatmmd one thing—a pair of rathercommon looking wooden slabs; Theycaress these planks much as does amother her baby. No, this great win-ter sport isn't as simple as all that.They have been gliding around on thesnow ever since man was created tobattle the elements. It has nowr^alifhe^'^^bintjwh^fected as an art in the same way asfoo tball and other amateur and pro-fessional sports are being perfected.

But skiing is one sport which en-ables man to enjoy himself in thesame way that he can enjoy golf. Hecam go out and ski alone. It giveshim chance to get out, forget histroubles, and get some good, healthyrelaxation. When a man reaches acertain age, he is no longer able to goout and get tackled in a football uni-form , 'but he can glide around on thesnow until his heart stops if he so de-sires.

This book "Modem Ski Technique"is -v ery interesting reading and givesall the minute details of art necessaryto becoming a finished skier. It woulddo any winter sports enthusiasts wellto drop around and see what is insidethe 119 . pages of this book, It wasprinted by the Stephen Daye Pressof Brattleboro, Vermont, and it islik-ely that students interested inskiing could buy a copy through writ-ing to that Press or Coach OttoScliniebs at Dartmouth.

Extra CurricuiarLife At Colby ¦

Under Survey

Sociology. Dept.Will Study Value

Of "All Activities

A survey of the -extra-curricularlife of Colby college is being under-taken at tlie request of PresidentJohnson, under the direction of Pro-fessor Curtis H. Morrow of the De-partment of Sociology.

The purpose of the study is toascei'tain the activiti-es that occupythe time of students outside of theregular academic work and to eval-uate these occupations in .terms oftheir effects upon the educationaland social development of the stu-dents.

"Campus life often seems like aconfusing -whirl of activities," saidPresident Johnson in announcing thesurvey, "bat we find that we haTe nofactual basis for sifting the usefulfrom the useless."

"The clubs, societies, fraternities,sororities, athletic teams and • othercampus organizations do, however,serve as a laboratory for training inthe art of living together. On thebasis of the landings, of this surveynext Spring, it is our intention to

"encrnira'ge "only these"'Student" activi-ties which supplement and enrichfurther the work of the class rooms,and may serve a useful purpose inthe training of men' and women forcompetence in dealing with the con-fusing problems of political and sociallife."

The investigation will be conduct-ed largely hy Colby students who aremajoring in sociology in . order thatthey may Iiave first-hand experiencein the technique of making socialsurveys. The plan, calls for two mainlines of approach :. a survey of all thecampus organizations, , with theirorigins, purposes and present status,.and a comprehensive . ..questionnaireto be filled out by each student, show-ing in detail how lie occupies hisspare time and his attitude toward1ho.se-various pursuits.

2. Objectives are :1. To ascertain the various activ-

ities that -ocepuy the time of Colbystudents, outside the regular curri-cula requirements.

2. To discover the origin , extentand importance oC those activities,

3. To evaluate the activities in.terms of their effects upon the educa-tional and social development of tho ,student.

II. Investigation ProcedureIn tho first place sill students who

are to take part in this project mustsecure an accurate list of tho actualactivities that obtain in our collegelife. It is then essential that each ofthese activities bo studied in orderthat 'a clea r and concise record of thoorigin , development, and presentstatus of tli o activity may 'bo secured .

In tho second place tho wholo stu- , ldont body will bo divided into groups ¦/and 0110 group nssipyncd. to each in-vestigator. Tho individual studentsin .,each sroup will then bo presented ,by tho investigator for his group with , l-a comprehensive questionnaire which ' " ' ,<tho student will fill out with ns great ' ¦ < ''euro as possible.

French -"Club HearsAbout Belgium

Jean Valet Tells Of HisBoyhood There

On Tuesday, Jan. 21, in the Alum-nae building, the members of theCercle Francais, in the third meetingof the year, had the privilege of hear-ing an address by M. Jean Valet, pas-tor of the French Baptist church of"Waterville. ' After being introducedby Oliver Mellon, '36, president ofthe club, M. Valet discussed brieflyhis experiences in his native country,Belgium, where he was a 'boy duringthe great war. M. Valet's fair-mind-edness is shown by his saying that al-though we heard a great deal aboutthe deprivation of the Belgians, mostpeople do not realize that the invad-ing Germans had hardly any morefood than their prisoners.

During the informal discussion fol-lowing his talk, M. Valet answeredthe questions evoked by his subject.The meeting was adjourned after thecustomary serving of refreshments.

Reviving a sport which was ex-tremely popular- hero a few yearsago, Professor Gilbert "Mike" Loebs,revealed last week tentative plans foru real Maine Winter Sports Carnival,which is to be held sometime in Feb-ruary.

The carnival, as it now appears,includes events for members of boththo men 's and the women's division,Tho mon will compote on an interfra-tern ity basis, a cup will be awardedto the fraternity scoring tho largestnumber of points, and points wouldbo awarded just as in other intra-mural sports. The womon will com-pete on an intorsorority basis.

It is expected that ski dashes ofvarying lengths, a cross-country slcirace, and snowshoe races will bo in-cluded in tho long list of plannedevents, climaxing with a brilliantWinter .Sports Ball, to be hold in theevening of the same day.

Tentative Plans ForA Winter Carnival

Thoro have boon a lot of goodthings said about fraternities andthoro have been many bad things.Probably the most extreme statementwo havo found , however, comes froma professor at the University of Iowa.It happens to bo on tho adverse sideof the issue.

Says ho: "Thoir luxury, politicalmaneuvering, casto spirit, moral flab-biness, unwholesome alumni relation-ships and the falso scale of socialvalues -which thoy impress upon thewhole student bod y mako thorn on thewhole n demoralizing, not to say vic-ious .element in college and tinrvorsitylife." ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ! ¦

"Wa ter, Water Everywhere"

WE wonder if it ever occured to those who ho3d sway over the des-

tinies of this institution that students who aa*e "thirsty for know-ledge" may also be occasionally thirsty for water. Apparently such

a. thought has never entered their minds, or, if it has, nothing has everbeen done about it. It is said that a camel can travel for several dayswithout, water, but we doubt if Colby students have the same capability.'.Now all this may sound rather vague and disconnected; but there is a

point behind it all. What we are trying to say is that there is a notice-able lack of drinking fountains in the library and class buildings on theColfey campus. As things now stand, a student cannot get a drink of wateron campus unless he goes to one of the freshman dormitories or to a fra-ternity house. The co-eds must go to Foss Hall as their nearest source ofdrinking water.

We are sure that the college authorities would feel abashed and cha-grined indeed if a conscientious student died of thirst some evening in thelibrary because he felt that he could not take five or ten minutes awayfrom his studying to walk out in the blizzardy night for a drink of "aquapura." In a relatively short time now, Spring will be upon us, and with itwill come warm weather (we hope). Classroom windows will then bethrown open and the breezes will waft to our nostrils a fragrant mixtureof the balms of sulphur fumes and train smoke. Th«n, even more so thannow, students and faculty alike will appreciate an occasional drink ofwater to rinse the cinders from their parched tonsils. Of course we mightall equip ourselves with canteens and the administration could draw up aset of rules whereby certain definite refreshment periods might be observed.But this might lead to over-indnlgence during some rather "dry" lecture.Then again, some enterprising student might set up a "tonic and soda pop"stand in the middle of campus and earn his entire tuition for the year.

We can, however, think of a much simpler remedy for the entire situa-tion. If anyone has had the patience to read this far, perhaps he has gath-ered that what we are trying to advocate in a good-natured way is theinsertion of drinking fountains in the college library, and in Chemical,Recitation , and Coburn Halls. If such a step would involve too great anexpense, then a single bubbler in the library would be a great improve-ment. ' . ' •

To the Committee on Grounds and Buildings, the Board of Trustees, orto whom ever it may concern , we do hereby suggest that at some meetingin the near future, this matter be given some serious consideration. Wecannot go thirsty until the time when the new campus shall appear on May-flower Hill.

nesday afternoon. Lambda Chi Alpha,the defending champions, appear tobe the team to beat for the crown inthe coming campaign, with most ofthe opposition expected to be furnish-ed by the Phi Delts and Tau Belts. .

Heading their list of luminaries,the Lambdas present "Bob" Turbyne,star forward of a year ago, in addi-tion to "Chubby" Caddoo, "Ollie"Emanu-elson and George Holbrook.Noted for their past team perform-ance, the Purple and Gold will againbe very dangerous.

Phi Delta Theta, considered to bethe best of the off-campus teams andboasting of one of the best teams inthe history of that fraternity, will berepresented by a trio of players fromthe freshman team of a year ago,when Bex Tarbell , six foot four inchcenter, "Heinie" Kammandel, lastyears' Frosh captain and George Bon-ner don the Blue and Gray. In addi-tion , "Bill" Deans, All-Frat guard' ofa year ago, "Bob" McGee and "Tom"Yadwinski will bolster the strengthof the Phi squad.

Tau Delta Phi, always a darkhorse in the team fight, sports suchfine men as "Sid" Black of the Frosh

team of a year ago, "Hi" Aldermanand Ben Brownstein.

Kappa Delta Rho will be represent-ed by Paul . Palmer, Paul Windsor,star forward and James Combellackas mainstays of a potentially power-ful club.

Zeta Psi's squad, headed by theDow boys, "INim" and "Dick/? ; willbe stronger than in several years pastand should finish high in the teamstanding. .

Delta UpsLlon's colors will beborn e by Fred Emery, member of theFrosh team a year ago, "Larry"Haynes, one of the finest players incollege and a brilliant performer lastyear and Ra;y Fournier. The Deltswill be a scrappy team and will fur-nish stern opposition to"the strongestteams.

"Charley" Geer will lead the Dekesquad into .action but the loss ofRalph Peabody will be one that cannot easily be overcome. While theDekes will be nobody's push-over, thelack of experience prevalent in theranks this year will hamper the club.

Alpha Tauc Omega, led by WayneSaunders and Harry Hollis, will bat-tle its opposition with an inexperienc-ed squad, but Saunders, a fine athlete,-Hollis and Foahd Saliem will makethings intere sting as the season pro-gresses.

Theta Kappa Nu will likewise behampered by the lack of experiencedmen, with "Brin" Caverly among thefew veterans on the squad.

Herbie has beenfor ced to content himself with wat ch-ing Veysey's flying heels for three in.door seasons now, and you can betyour bottom dollar that he will runplenty of good races this winter. WithVeysey unable to run , a two milefeud between Bill Hunn ewell and De.

Veber should be most interesting incoming 'meets.

Methinks that . Daniel Ferris,- highmogul of the j A. A. U., pulled a"boner" in. judgment when he namedDon Lash, of the University of In-diana, as the 'leading collegiate crosscountry runn er of the year over ourown Cliff, Veysey. Far be it from meto question the opinion of such a highsage in national track circles, but. hadnot Cliff been, so unfortunate as topull , a tendon, there doesn't seem tobe much question but that, he wouldhave walked away with. Intercolle-giate honors.

¦ ' ¦ . — C— ¦' .'

•

As it was, Cliff's times compare fa-vorabl y with the , best ever turned inby Lash during / the last hill and daleseason. It is merely: the . age-old' ath-letic problem; of. the small; collegeman being overlooked again.. True ,Lash won. the National Collegiatetitle, buty I'd bet my bottom dollarthat he. wouldn 't have finished betterth an second had ' Cliff been in condi-tion and running against , him..

x — . .C—-Old mother nature is giving lis the

best winter that we have had in anumber of years. The skating hasbeen excellent and the skiing; nearperfect. Not since I can recall hasthere been such an extreme , interestshown by. men and women in wintersports activities. For a college thesize of Colby, however, it seems thatthere should be some event to climaxsuch a great season. Bates andMaine, two co-edueational institu-tions like , Colby, have their wintercarnivals and they go over with abang.

The mid-years will be over in an-other week , extra -curricu la activitieswill be. in order again so why not addto these one of the most interestingevents that can take place on any col-lege program —a winter carnival."M ike" Loebs has done a. great jobin outfitting the athletic departmentwith winter sports: equipment and: hasdone as much as he; can: to furtherinterest in winter sports. The H. R.Dunham Company is: extremely inter -ested in doing its part to help in anyway possible.

—-C . ' .;¦, ' ' .

Of course a winter carnival is onlyan idea; but with the proper pushideas, of ten grow into realities. Theonly difficulty in putting over a carn-ival here would be to get the idea or-ganized and start working immediate-ly. There is a Col'by Outing Club innamej, whose members would be do-ing; a great thing for the college andstudents should they project such athing as a carnival into the studentactivity this winter.

_ — C— . ' .There are—excellent winter .sports

facilities on Mayflower Hill , an Out .ing Club ' House , equipment , andplenty of fresh air. All: of thesethings are ready and waiting to beused by the entire student body. Asit is now, only a certain'few ventureout in the chilly winds each Sundayafte rnoon. The ideal idea would beto have the carnival events some Sat-urday afternoon; have an informaldance in tbe Alumnae building that

evening with the co-eds weari ng skisuits and the.boys dressed in suita blewinter attire ; to bring, the affair to aclose, a winter sports party taking inthe whole student body, could be heldon the Hill Sunday afternoon follow-ed by skating in the evening. '

— C —Speaking of carnivals and student

interest in sports calls to my mind thedesire to reiterate on an idea whichwas proposed in this column sometime ago. That idea was to have theinter-fraternity track meet held in !

the Field House early some eveningfollowed by an all-fraternity dance

after the conclusion of the meet. Onereason why there has never been anover-exuberance of interest shown intrack here is due to the fact that

i most of the students have never seenthe track men in action. That inter-est never will "ce enlivened furtheruntil some event impresses track inthe minds of the student body.

— C—-It is even a hard job to get com-

petitors for an afternoon track meet,let alone spectators. There are anumber of boys who would be willingto compete were the meet any timebut in the afternoon. Also there are

a number of students and businessmen in town who would be pleased'to attend a track meet, but becauseof other'duties are unable to attendit on an afternoon.
