QLast week the "demagogues" spoke tbus.

General Johnson: "You can laugh at Father Coughlln—you can snort at Huey Long but this country was never under a greater menace than from the break-up of spontaneous popular co- operation being engineered by the combination of this dangerous dema- gogy with the direct assault of the old social Neanderthalers—the archi- tects of the 1929 Boom and Bust . . . We can neither respect nor revere what appears to be a priest in Holy Orders entering our homes with the open sesame of his high calling and thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, demanding that we ditch the President for Huey Long . . . Musical blatant bunk that goes straight home to simple souls weary in distress and defrauded in delay . . ."

• • • Q Senator Klngflsh Long counter- tlirusted: "The General . . . has come out of the house of Bernard Baruch, the motto of which is 'Presidents: you make 'em: we break 'em' ... to talk to us on the radio . . . Roosevelt's plan was to plow up every third row <& cotton ... So it has been that while

millions have starved and gone naked .. . Roosevelt's administration has sailed merrily along plowing under and destroying the things to eat and wear, with tear-dimmed eyes and hun- gry souls made to chant for this New Deal."

qKatlier Coughlin orated: "The Gen- eral is merely a cracked gramophone record squawking the messages of his master's voice . . . the first great casualty of the New Deal . . . the genial General of generalities ... a chocolate soldier . . . the sweet prince of bombast ... a red herring, even though it chances to be a dead one . . . Upon my desk. General, is the fulsome record of your personal life. I dis- lain to refer to it."

Qln 1885 Horace Austin Tabor opened a store in California Gulch, Col. Two prospectors bought $17 worth of mer- chandise one day and gave him a third stake of their claim for payment. Iu a few months Tabor's claim had netted Win $1,300,000 in lead carbonate heav- ily streaked with silver.

"Silver Dollar" Tabor renamed the town Leadville, became its first Mayor, later went to U. S. Senate. He met and married "Baby Doe"—Elizabeth McCourt—"the perfect beauty; golden hair, blue eyes and a fine figure." The honeymooners spent $12,000 a day. Tabor wore a $450 nightshirt. He splurged without reason.

Then came 1893. Panic! Fall of sil- ver! Tabor was reduced to day labor and soon died. His last words to "Baby Doe" were, "Don't ever give up the Matchless mine."

Last week a miner broke into the shaft house of the worked-out Match- less mine. In a hut he found the frozen body of a 73-year-old woman, "liaby Doe" Tabor, true to her trust not to desert the Matchless, had been di ad two weeks.

"The newspaper of the future is going Pi'torial, interpretative, and more em- Pli.i'ically week-end . . . Already there is .i trend toward week-end papers and >' will be more pronounced as time losses. The "Kansas City Star" and

Unity Singers, Famed Quartet Will Sing Here

Well Known Musical Group Unit Of Meistersingers— Highly Praised By Experts

The Unity Singers, a male quartet which is well-known throughout New England, will sing in the College Chapel Wednesday night at eight o'clock, under the auspices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Admission is free.

The quartet, which is a unit of the famous "Meistersingers," is highly recommended by all who have heard it for the unusual talent of each of its members, and for its varied and ex- tensive repertoire. For this reason it is hoped that a large number of stu- dents will avail themselves of the unusual opportunity afforded them.

The personnel of the Singers is: Dr. Frank Ames, 1st tenor; Howard W. Bragdon. 2nd tenor; John R. Jones, baritone: George E. McGowan. bass; and William Ellis Weston, director and accompanist. o

Pres. C. D. Gray Back From Trip

Made Extended Tour Through

South—Speaks Before

Eight Student Bodies

Pres. and Mrs. Clifton D. Gray re- turned to Lewiston last week after an extended tour of the south. The itin- erary of the trip included meeting Bates Alumni groups in Philadelphia, February 17; Washington Alumni As- sociation, February 20; and Florida graduates on March 9, in Winter Park.

Pres. Gray spoke to the student bod- ies of the following colleges: Univer- sity of Richmond, John B. Stetson, Jr., University, Deland, Fla.; Souther Col- lege. Lakeland; Bethune-Cookman Col- lege, Daytona Beach; Webber College, Babson Park; University of Florida, Gainsville; University of Tampa, Tampa; and Rollins College, Winter Park.

Dr. Gray said that Bates should be proud of the work Dean Wlnslow S. Anderson is doing at Rollins College and of the efforts of Pres. Spaulding, Bates '16, who has done much in the founding of the University of Tampa. These men and other Bates graduates at various places In the south con- tributed a great deal in making the trip pleasant for both Dr. and Mrs. Gray.

Classes Will Hold Mock Town Meeting

Two of Prof. Brooks Qulmby's classes in argumentation will hold a mock town meeting on the evening of March 27 in the Little Theatre. The object of this meeting is to acquaint the classes with the procedure and purposes of town meetings.

The students will continue their survey with the study of the legisla- ture. The two candidates for the office of town moderator are Robert Hanscom '37 and Donald Welch '37. The town warrant is posted in Hathorn Hall.

Bates defeated Lafayette by a unan- imous decision in the final debate for Bates in the Eastern Intercollegiate League last night. William Green- wood '36 and Walter Norton '35 de- fended the negative of the proposition which favored collective bargaining through non-company unions.

This debate places Bates again In a tie with Bowdoin at the top of the League, and it also eliminates La- fayette from any possible chance of winning the league championship. Bowdoin, however, has one more de- bate and this with Lafayette. If Bow- doin is able to win one judge's vote in this debate, the Brunswick college will win the championship unless Wes- leyan wins both of her final debates. The final standing of Bates in the league, then, rests upon the outcome of the Bowdoin-Lafayette debate.

The Lafayette debaters last night were Harold W. Spencer and Glen L. Tischer. Prof. Paul B. Bartlett served as the presiding officer. The judges were Mr. Benjamin L. Berman, Mr. Herbert C. Taylor, and the audience. William Metz '37 managed the debate. , o

Decorations At Junior Dance

Forty Couples Attend— Valeria Kimball Chair-

man Of Committee

Forty couples attended the Junior Girls' Dance held in Chase Hall last Friday night. In contrast to the Hop of a week ago decorations were pro- vided in the form of ferns and palms. Further contrast was provided by lights which were occasionally dimmed.

Fruit punch for refreshment was furnished throughout the evening's dancing by Ruth Bowditch and Eliza- beth Quimby. Music was given by Dick Tuttle and the Bobcats.

The committee in charge consisted of Valeria Kimball, chairman. Con- stance Redstone, Priscilla Walker, Adele Testa and Dorothy Staples. Guests were Prof, and Mrs. Samuel Harms, Miss Mabel Eaton and Prof. Anders Myhrman. o

"Communist" May Face Deportation

John Strachey, Speaker Here

In 1933, Warns Against

Fascism

The Nov. 29, 1933 issue of the Bates Student carried the following sentence in its lead story:

"John Strachey, Communist and scion of one of the most distinguished of English families, will speak on the Bates campus . . ."

At that lecture he made these state- ments: "The only answer (to the troubled world situation) is economic distress. Hunger of the masses breeds dissatisfaction and consequently strug- gle ... . The New Deal is a bold at- tempt to reform the capitalistic sys- tem but this cannot be done without first knowing the faults of the system . . . . Production and consumption on the same basis . . . ."

This Thursday Author Strachey will be called to face a hearing in Chicago to consider deporting him from Amer- ica. The official charges of Secretary of Labor Perkins are that Strachey entered America under false pretenses and making false declarations.

In New York, Mr. Strachey said that he would deny these charges. He said, "The declaration that I made on entering the United States was that I was not a polygamist nor an anarch- ist and that I do not intend to over- throw the United States government by force or violence, and I repeat that declaration now I believe I shall be able to establish the position I've just outlined."

Mr. Strachey has been lecturing in prominent colleges on "The Menace of Facism."

Pres. Gray Warns Thinking Citizens Against Politicians Without Character

Assails Huey Long And Bilbo In Address Thursday From

Chapel Platform

TRENDS FASCISTIC, NOT COMMUNISTIC

"We cannot afford to laugh at men like Huey Long and Senator Bilbo," said Pres. Gray in Chapel Thursday morning. This was Pres. Gray's first Chapel talk since his return from his southern trip of the last two weeks.

Pres. Gray said that the opinion he found in the United States Senate was that Long could not be taken as lightly as was once the practice. He said people felt that the Louisiana "Klngflsh" has a very alert and able mind but is essentially without char- acter.

"Men like Long and Bilbo are carry- ing on a revolt against the old land- holding and aristocratic class and de- rive their support from the depression-

stricken 'cracker white' class of peo- ple .. . Towusend, Sinclair, Coughlln, Long and Bilbo are all demagogues thrown up by the depression ... No real danger from them unless they can get together and this they seem unable to do ... Of late, the attacks and counter attacks between these demagogues has descended to a low level of vituperative and crude epithet- hurling . . ."

In the course of his travels, Pres. Gray heard and talked with Roger Babson of depression-predicting fame. Statistician Babson made the observa- tion that the next three or four years will doubtlessly be ones of partial re- vival but after that no one can know. He also made some comments to the effect that our governmental trends are decidedly Fascistic rather than Communistic.

The purpose of Pres. Gray's speech was'to make students understand the necessity of being aware of the whole situation before being taken over to any particular beliefs.

tice and fectively resemble different continue coaching Murphy.

The game will undoubtedly give a not only because of the considerable speculation as to the part that fresh- men stars of last fall will fit into the picture but also because of the new offensive plays that will be seen in action for the first time. The whole squad is in fine spirits over the num- ber of new plays that are being learned, and is anxious to try them out in an actual game.

Conrad Will Be Back The game will undoubtedly give a

pretty good insight on the strength of the team that will take to the turf next fall. In addition the team will be further strengthened by the return of Red Conrad, left halfback. Al- though light, Conrad is very fast, shifty, and carries the ball well. He can pass and punt, and will undoubted- ly see much service before the season is over. Two other backs who are very likely to flt into the picture are Brud Morin and Cotton Hutchinson of the freshmen. Both pass well and are doing some excellent work in the spring practice drills.

Wellman At End Ted Wellman, smashing halfback

for the past two seasons, will from now on smear his opponents from a left end position. The change of the big back to the line will not be a big surprise to some for Wellman was first of all a tackle and played that position his freshman year. Defensive- ly he is a wonder and his natural ag- gressiveness should make him a verit- able bearcat on offense.

Wellman weighs over 185 pounds and with Cooke of the freshmen, an outstanding candidate for the other wing who weighs over 190, Bates should have a pair of ends that will compare favorably with the best in the state.

The team will be a big one. With the exception of the center position every berth can be filled by men of consid- erable weight.

Dick Loomis is one of the leading candidates for the job as pivot, and what he lacks in weight he makes up for in good spirit and outstanding de- fensive play. He is due to be in the center of activities in more ways than one next fall.

The present line-up for the two squads is as follows:

Bearcats lc. Burt Reed, Ted Wellman. It. Wes Stoddard, Don Gautier. lg. Dayton Taylor, John Garrity. c. Morris Drobosky, Richard Loomis. rg. Ernest Robinson, Bob Gorham. rt. Joe Biernacki. Ben Carlin, Sam

levy, qb. Brud Morin, Ronald Gillis. lhb. John Molloy, Omar King, Charles

Cooke. rhb. Dennis Healey, Robert Frost. fb. Berkeley. o

Robert Edward Saunders, of Farm- ington, Conn., was elected President of the Student Council by a large ma- jority. Saunders is an outstanding track star, and is a member of the Athletic Council.

Edmund Sixtus Muskie, of Rumford, was chosen as Vice-President of the Council. Muskie Is President of the Senior Class, and one of the highest ranking students in the school.

Drobosky Wins Morris Drobosky of Lewiston is an-

other of the Senior representatives for next year. Drobosky is well known for his gridiron achievements, his scholastic record, and his popularity among the students of the college. He succeeds Stanton Sherman, former council member.

David Whitehouse of Lewiston was also chosen as a Senior representa- tive. At the present time Whitehouse is confined to the hospital for appendi- citis. He is the Football Manager for next season, and Is a prominent de- bater.

Martin Gets Office The new Secretary-Treasurer of the

council is Fred Martin '37, of Bel- mont, Mass. He is awarded this office by receiving the highest vote of the Sophomores. Martin is a football player, and one of the highest rank- ing students in his class.

Laurence Johnson, of Bailey Island, received the second highest number of votes for Junior Representative. Johnson is a transfer student from the University of Penn. He is one of —Bates' outstanding athletes, and one of the finest hammer throwers in the world.

Metz Reelected William Metz was reelected to the

council by the Sophomore Class. Metz is a Varsity Debater and the highest ranking student in his class.

Edward Howard received the larg- est number of votes in the Freshman Class. Howard is one of the leading track men in his class.

John Leard is the other representa- tive from the Freshman Class. Leard is a Freshman track man, and one of the Sports Reporters on the staff of the Bates Student. o

Muskie Victor Over Wellman By Single Vote

Robert Harper, Charles Harms, To Preside Over Lower Classes

Edmund Muskie was re-elected pres- ident of the Senior class by a one-vote margin over Edward Wellman yester- day. This marks Muskie's third term as executive of his class. He was also elected to the Student Council for the third time. He will serve as Vice- President of the Council under Presi- dent-elect Saunders.

The Presidency of next year's Jun- ior class went to Robert H. Harper, a most popular member of that class. He has maintained a high scholastic average in his two years here and is a member of the scientific clubs.

Charles Harms was elected presi- dent of next year's Sophomore class. Harms was a prominent high school athlete and has indicated marked scholastic ability. o

Phi Beta Kappa Initiation Held O'Connor, Ingraham, Rich, Kimball, And Elsie And

Florence Gervais Honored

White, Professor of Greek at Colby College, is to speak on "The Credo of a Classicist."

The Seniors who have attained this honor are: Harry F. O'Connor and John N. Ingraham, both of whom ma- jored in Chemistry, Dorothy J. Kim- ball and Evelyn Rich, who majored ln English and Latin respectively, and Elsie and Florence Gervais both of whom majored in French.

On Witk Tke N ew WITH THE ROUND OF EVENTS having completed its

cycle and another group of seniors having fulfilled the neces- sary requirements (we hope) with the old ending and the new beginning the activities on campus come under the

direction of new hands. There is much that can be said about seizing the torch from failing hands, carrying on, carving new creations from old stuff. But that to our generation seems to fall on somewhat unheeding and.indifferent ears.

What we would say, however, is that from those who are leav- ing much-enjoyed scenes of action comes the sincere wish that a new sense of college loyalty might be created. Perhaps a clearer and finer consciousness of Bates as our alma mater, as the point ot many genuine friendships, of an institution of learning where we received a grounding in the art of living, perhaps this ideal of college citizenship may arise out of the new regime.

Too often the attitude towards campus attairs has been marked by superficiality and the desire for merely personal rewards. On the other hand, somehow, the average man or woman has little real respect for that meticulous carrier-out of duty whose conscientious- ness will not permit him to see beyond the end of his figuratively somewhat snubby nose. Creativity is far higher, more desirable, and much more difficult to attain than mere control and discipline.

As college students we must admit a certain immaturity not too far removed from adolescence. But as college students we must also demand and merit the right to recognition as possessing a fair amount of judgment and sincerity of motives. Frequently we feel that points of conflict and annoyance which arise between the admin- istration and the students are due to the failure of the first group to recognize that, however half-cocked, extravagant, or ridiculous the ideas of the second group may appear to be, that the motives are genuine and the end is not destructive, but creative.

The average student has no desire to plunge into a scandal that will involve the college, no intention of voluntarily inflicting unpleas- ant associations on the reputation of his school. This statement may appear to throw a rosy light on conditions, but it is a rather fair estimate of what one might expect from a group of men and women whose success in later life depends to a large degree on the source of their training and education.

There is need, a very definite need, for more sympathetic under- standing, a broader and more thorough realization of purposes and ideals. We hope that this goal will be attained by those new faces and minds who take over the student offices after yesterday s election. o

By ROSIE M. GALLINARI

Exactly 65 per cent of the men at- tending American institutions of high- er education were at one time Boy Scouts, says the president of the Council of Scouts. Using figures ob- tained in a recent survey, he also stated that 60 per cent of all football captains on college teams were Scouts at one time during their careers. Now we know what is meant by scouting a rival team. Merely attending col- lege should give a 100 per cent aver- age for that's a good deed—to the college. • • •

Prom Northeastern the following story is told of a student paying his tuition bill. The Bursar stood there in smiling anticipation of receiving her tribute. Money! The student asked for a pair of scissors. The student ex- plained to the puzzled Bursar that his mother had SEWED THE TUITION MONEY IN THE LINING OF HIS COAT. Have YOU looked in the lin- ing of your coat? I found a dime .in mine but that was because there was a hole in my pocket. • * *

Certain freshmen at Rhode Island State have not turned Nazi, but they have joined the ranks of the Black Stockings at the request (?) of the Sophomores. Queer hair arrange- ments, wearing pink bibs, various forms ot recognizing upperclassmen In the house, have been installed. Other Courtesy Week rules are: Out of the house at 7 A M. and not return- ing till 8 A. II., using the cellar door at all times, no smoking, and this is only the beginning of the rules. If we regret not having fraternities and sororities we should be thankful for not having to comply to more silly rules. • * •

The Brown and White sends us this little story about a fraternity at the University of Michigan. The fraternity sent its curtains to the cleaners and on the second day that the house stood unveiled, the sorority across the street sent this note to the boys: "Dear Sirs: May we suggest that you procure cur- tains for your windows. We do not care for a course in anatomy." The boys came-back with "Dear Girls: The course is optional."

Turn Back The Clock

c allege 1 raining (jrromnci IOLLEGE, so the educators learnedly remark, is the training

ground for future experiences. 8 often rem P1. 1 i although in less erudite circles, that future society will be a ^^ sorry mess if college activities are an indication of what will

later come. We complain against, we deplore, we deprecate, deride, and scorn the conditions of our present political set-up. It is no secret, that legislators, executives, and judges play politics. We are dis- gusted at these undemocratic, unfair practices. Yet m our own little world, which is to some degree an actual training ground and period for developing habits, there is apparently no hesitancy to play politics." ...

Follow the rules. Square-shooting has always been at a premium, probably because of its scarcity. The baby-kissing, head-patting office-seeker in his own fashion is no less a part of our campus group than it is of the larger society without. There is no particular need to shout "democracy must be pure." There is a greater necessity that we become aware of the fact that democracy is ours to make of it what we will. o

* * * "College journalism training is an

excellent and invaluable experience, because it presents an appreciable training in the mechanism of jour- nalism and develops an inquiring, alert mind," says executive editor of the "Christian Science Monitor." Fur- ther advice was, "if you can't get a job on a paper, get out and dig up news and features that the papers can't afford to pass up. You'll get jobs that way. Why, 90 per cent of the 'Mon- itor's' staff are college men." Being conceited enough to think I have been a columnist this past year I think I'll go out and try to get a job, so Fare Thee Well.

Retiring President TO THE RETIRING President of the Student Council we doff

our hats. He stepped into one of the most difficult college offices at a critical time a year ago. Since then, we feel that he has played the game fairly.

His policy has been neither radical nor revolutionary, yet it has met with whole-hearted approval. He has set an example which his successor should strive to follow.

Throughout four years he has not lost the common touch, nor has he been spoiled by success. Since no long discourse can ade- quately express our sentiment, we simply say: "You are all that an ideal college man should be,—true gentleman, square athlete, and fine scholar. Yet in spite of all these achievements, in the twilight gatherings on the porch of Parker, you remain "one of the boys'." o

By Earl Dias It happened 50 years ago—:1885:

Matthew Arnold declined the Mere- ford professorship of English Litera- ture at Oxford at a salary of $4,500 a year . . . Lyon, of Yale, in a baseball game made a clean hit of 450 feet . . . The Garfield Memorial window at Williams was completed at a cost or. $3,645 . . . Theodore Thomas invited the Yale and Amherst Glee Clubs to accompany him through Europe . . . There was an epidemic of measles on the Bates campus. • • • * *

We note especially that the humor in this 1885 issue is very good. Here are a few examples:

"An ordinary woman s waist is Stl inches around. An ordinary mans arm is 30 inches long. 'How admirable are thy works, oh Nature' ... It was night. They sat at intervals along the style. She (softly) 'I hope, Charlie, that no darkness will ever come be- tween us." He took the hint ... A professor of systematic divinity being unwell and unable to meet his classes, the following notice was given: 'The professor, being ill, requests me to =»v that the Seniors can keep on

through Purgatory and the Juniors can continue their descent into Hell, un- til further notice from the professor'.

• » » • * 40 years ago—1895:

The oldest established newspaper in the world was published in Pekin, China. It was 1,000 years old, and during that time 19,000 of its editors had been beheaded . . . The Bates li- brary was presented with the com- plete works of Marion Crawford . . . Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer lectured at the college . . . Professor Hartshorn gave a reception to the Junior and Senior classes . . '. The students sent in a petition for more tennis courts . . . Two new offices were created by the Bates Athletic Association—Tennis Manager, and Manager of the Athletic Team. • * • • •

The poetry in this 1895 issue for the most part deals with young love— inspired, no doubt, by approaching spring. Witness the following:

"Oh give me a seat on a sofa soft, With a maiden young and fair. Who has never been pressed by an

arm before, But just for this time doesn't care. And give me a ma who will kindly

connive At whatever we chance to do, Who remembers that she was a

maiden once, And a pa who remembers it too." • * * • *

30 years ago—1905: President Chase returned from a six

weeks' tour in western New York . . . The Girls' A. A. held its annual indoor exhibition—the first public event held in the new dormitory (Rand Hall) . . . A petition was made to keep the li- brary open evenings ... A masqueVade social was given by the Y. M. C. A. . . . Middlebury College started a new paper . . . Dr. Elmer Cappen, Presi- dent of Tufts College, died of pneu- monia . . . Andrew Carnegie presented $125,000 to Rensslaer Polytechnic In- stitute.

• • • * • This poem from the 1895 issue we

dedicate to those students who plan to get up "early the next morning and study":

"Where is the man who has not said, At evening when he went to bed, 'I'll waken with the crowing cock. And get to work by four o'clock'."

"Where is the man who, rather late, Crawls out of bed next morn at

eight. That hath not thought with fond

regard, 'Tis better not to work too hard'."

By WARCARET HOXIE The title of this article might most

appropriately be "Knit to Eat, Knit for Love." For knitting, if statistics and daily evidence mean anything at all, has certainly taken hold of our Bates co-eds in a great big way. Their theme song could very well oe:

"Knit, knit, knit away Knit or else crochet. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. Twenty rows a day."

Now we don't know exactly when this knitting mania seized our fair co-eds, but we have an idea that it first started last Spring, when a few individuals, courageous enough to face the jibes of their classmates, sur- reptitiously at the begining and then later more openly, took up their grand- mother's needles and, to everyone s surprise, produced wearable garments. We recall two such pioneers: Phyl Pond ex '36, and Junie Lovelace 36. This summer the movement recruited more and more cohorts, and when col- lege started in the fall, why, "every- one was doing it." Instead of waning in popularity this knitting craze seems to gather more people to its cause every day, and each meal at Rand finds some new individual neg- lecting her delicious repast in order to fulfill her quota for the day.

"Why do they do it," you eds ask? The stock answers seem to be: "Oh it takes up time," "IT'S fun (try it and see)" "everyone's doing it"— well, you know the answers as well as they do.

Where do they do it? Foolish ques- tion, mes enfants. Rand Hall dining room is one of the most popular places, and girls who formerly hurried through their meals in record time now linger at the table in order to finish across a row or complete an Afghan Square. But you've seen them at lectures, club and class meetings, even at track meets with the ubiquit- ous needles and yarn. In fact the only place they haven't brought their knit- ting is to classes. We prophesy that some day soon an intrepid soul is go- ing to bring her needles and yarn to Doc Britain's philosophy class, or Mac's ed, or Freddy's Latin. What will happen then?

A Sophomore man was heard to re-

s pnng IT'S SURPRISING, in a dual sense of the word, how Spring

dodges cosily across campus so frequently and inconsistently. A bit of green grass growing furtively but bravely in a hidden corner and next a wintry blast of a genuine March wind, these are

the vanguard of warmer days on the way. The rivulets of water from melting snow-banks can be borne somewhat more graciously if the sun is shining without the winter chill. One splashes hurriedly to class grateful that the season will soon arrive for the young man's fancy, etc. , • , •

Soon the Parker gallery will find marks for witty observations in the strolling couples that will be seeking romance in the soft breezes and glowing skies of Spring. Out will go the mystic call of former haunts. The sign-out books in Rand and Cheney will be filled with: Destination—Walking. The clarion call of duty must be answered. Ah, me, 'tis indeed worth anticipating. But for the nonce we must be content to lower our head into the decidedly unspring- like gale and be content to anticipate.

The preliminaries in the Maine di- vision of the Bates Interscholastic Debating League were held on last Friday night. Eleven schools so far are known to have qualified for the semi-finals which will be held at Bates on April 19th with the finals the next day.

Many present members and some past members of Prof. Quimby's Argu- mentation classes served as judges in the debates in this section of Maine. Walter Norton '35, William Green- wood '35, and Ernest Robinson '37, awarded Lewiston High a 2-1 decision over Leavitt Institute at Lewiston. Fred Martin '37, Norman B. Wight '37, and Charles Schneller '37, gave Ox- ford High a 2-1 decision over Hebron at Oxford.

At Hebron Ronald Gillis '37, Charles Gore '37, and Merle McCluskey '37, awarded Hebron a unanimous decision over New Gloucester.,At Mechanic Falls Alonzo Conant '36. Carl Milli- ken '35, and Dayton Taylor '35, gave Lewiston a unanimous decision over the home team. Another unanimous decision was awarded to Phillips High at Phillips over Farmington by Thurs- ton Long '37. Richard Loomis '37, and Carl Bergengren '37.

Dorothy Preston '37, Jean Lowry '37, and Walter Rodgers '37, gave New Gloucester a unanimous decision over Lisbon Falls at New Gloucester. Ruth Merrill '37, and Herbert Silverman '37, served as two of the judges at Buck- field. John Dorlty '35, Ralph Musgrave '35, and William Coffin '37, gave the Ed- ward Little negative team a unanimous decision over Rumford at Rumford. At Mexico the home team received three judges' votes from George Morin '37, Urburn Avery, Jr., '37' and Joy Dow '35, to defeat Canton High. A 2-1 de- cision was awarded Kingfield High

over North New Portland by Peter Duncan '37, Bernard Marcus '37, and Eugene Connell. Another 2-1 decision was given to Oxford High over Lisbon Falls High by Carl Heldman '35, Sid- ney Lewis '37, and William Spear '37.

Kingfield High gained another vic- tory over Anson Academy by a 2-1 vote of the judges, William Dunlevy '37, Antone Duarte '36, and Arthur Danielson '37.

Harry Madden '35, Robert Fish '36, and William Metz '37, gave a unani- mous decision to Portland High over Cony High at Augusta. At Wilton Irving Isaacson, serving as a single judge, awarded the decision to Phillips High.

The schools which so far are known to have qualified for the semi-finals are as follows: Lewiston. Edward Little, Kingfield, Hartland Academy, Oxford, Portland^ Bangor, Stearns High of Millinocket, Presque- Isle, and Phillips.

Musical Notes

The high spot in musical activity on the campus this week will be in the form of a concert given by the Unity Singers of Boston. This is one of New England's finest quartets and these men deserve the support of every stu- dent on campus. Each member of the quartet is a capable soloist. The men- devote most of their time to rehears- ing in order to remain at the front with up-to-date programs. The con- cert will be given Wednesday evening, at 8:00 P. M., in the Bates Chapel. This is being provided by the joint co- operation of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. We expect to see you there.

All this reminds us of Madam Lafarge and her fellow knitters *, the guillotine in "A Tale of T«» Cities."

What are they knitting? Everythft.. from Charlotte Longley's shoe cleaner contraption to really beautiful suit. Scarfs were popular around niristmlj time, and now sweaters in all shapes sizes, and colors are busily bein formed. Sweaters, not only for tu» girls themselves, but boy friends are benefiting as well, and two Varsity football players hope to be able to squeeze themselves into sleeveless sweaters in the not too distant future

Not quite so popular as knitting but with its strong adherents, is cr^ cheting. Afghans are the thing to do in this line. We know of six girls who are thus busily engaged, and, by a strange coincidence, all six girls have steady boy friends which goes to prove something or other.

A survey reveals that over half the Rand Hall girls are either knitting or crocheting, from which we can deduct Miss Typical Rand Hall, that you're a knitter, a crocheter. Practically every Cheney House freshman is an expert, and in every other dorm you will find many enthusiasts. Town girls too take time to knit.

Spring will soon be here, and then we suppose Cheney House steps, Whittier"s piazza, the river bank, and Mt. David will be populated with eager knitters, combining business with pleasure.

At ladies' night at the United Bap- tist Church the other evening instru- mental numbers of a varied nature were presented by a group of Bates musicians.

"Praise Ye The God of Abraham by Buck and "Yea, Though I Walk" by Arthur Sullivan were the two an- thems sung by the Choir this week. We are willing to bet our last nickel that there aren't two students in the entire student body who make an honest attempt to listen to the an- thems during the chapel services on Tuesday and Friday mornings. For proof of this statement, we ask you to occupy a pew in the choir loft, and, during a rest in the written music, listen to the roar that arises from the center of the chapel. One of these fine spring mornings Prof. Crafts will stop right in the middle of an anthem—and then won't you be surprised?

Ray Stetson '35, honor student and varsity debater, has been coaching several high school debating teams in this district. Last year he coached Ox- ford High, and his team came through to win third position In the league. This year Oxford High defeated Lis- bon Falls and Hebron Academy in the preliminary debates held last Friday night. His New Gloucester team de- feated Lisbon Falls but lost to Hebron. Only one ot the New Gloucester speak- ers had ever participated in a debate before. Stetson's third team, Mechanic Falls, lost both debates but gained much needed experience as none of the speakers had debated before.

There is one thing that the incom- ing Freshman class next fall ought to produce. That "one thing" Is a good organist. Joe Smith, the regular stu- dent organist this year, is a senior and it will be no easy task to fill his shoes. Besides playing at most of the morn- ing chapel exercises the student or- ganist must find time to rehearse with the Choir, the Choral Society, and the Men's Glee Club in addition to vocal soloists. Ellen Bailey of the Junior class is well qualified for the position, but we are of the opinion that a man is needed for the position.

THE ART OF THE NOVEL

By Pelham Edgar

Professor Edgar has tried to make it possible to see the bricks and mortar of the novelist's trade. Here is presented a study of the structural evolution of He novel. First, are analyzed all the elements common to good fiction. This Is followed by a survey of all the great novelists of Great Britain and the United States.

Especially well treated is the use of irony and satire of Maugham, Douglas, Huxley, and Lewis; the stream of consciousness style of Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf; American realism and Theodore Dreiser; the anti-realists, VTilla Cather and James Branch Cabell; and a discussion of the four American sensations, Anderson, Hemingway, Don Passos and Faulkner.

Dr. H. H. Britan Guest Speaker For Scientists

Philosophy and Science Compared At Jordan Scientific Meeting

"Science is beginning to know more ud more about less and less," said Dr. H. H. Britan, in a lecture to the Jordan Scientific Society last Tuesday evening.

In His lecture Dr. Britan told of the relation of Science to Philosophy. Philosophy attempts to interpret and eiplain what Science describes. Sci- adsts study a limited field intensively

philosophers study extensively. h She early days when men first

Mtapted to find the ultimate truth, '■i'ncr and philosophy were one. Then uen like Thales, Aristotle, and Pythag- oras, began to go beyond the mere 8«ld of obvious fact.

Science views objects and does not

attempt to explain their meaning and origin. Philosophy attempts to make this explanation by taking a broad, comprehensive view of the whole sub- ject.

The meeting was planned and super- vised by Antone Duarte '36, and John Albertini '35.

Baseball is destined to be the center of interest in the state this spring. The four colleges have teams that compare favorably with the best teams in the history of the colleges and there should be a merry scramble for the top position.

Colby Favorite Colby, because of its impressive

record of eight wins and one loss last year, looms as a favorite to repeat. Graduation took only one regular from the team and it is expected that his position will be capably filled.

Brown, fiery catcher, will without doubt, handle all backstopping duties to his usual satisfactory manner. Farnham and Peabody are two pitch- ers who can hold their own in most college company. Incidentally, Farn- ham may be remembered as the man beating Bates by a 1-0 score last year. The infield is an all-veteran one. Junior Sheehan at first, Charlie Geer at sec- ond. Rum Lemieux at short, and Scrub- by Sawyer at third,—as smooth a work- ing infield as can be found in the state. All are potential 300 hitters and excellent fielders.

Hocker Ross, Art Hannigan, and Tom Yadwinski are the outfielders. As a whole the team shapes up even better than last year's due to the valuable experience gained by every man in the past series. It will take a good team to beat them.

Maine Strong Maine, on paper, has a strong team.

Jim Sanborn, veteran catcher for two years, is on deck again, and Coach Brice expects him to be as good as any receiver in the state. Win Hoyt and Gobloski are two of the outstand- ing hurlers on the club. Hoyt was especially troublesome to Bates last year.

Woodbury, all-Maine first sacker, Bunny Anderson, and Milt McBride form a strong nucleus for the infield. Dana Sidelinger, Alton Bell, and Don Brown seem to have the inside on the pasture berths. Bell, as a freshman,

Cheney House Co-eds Have Party At Gym

Adding another whirl wind to the winds of March, a few Cheney co-eds threw a party for their eds last Friday night at the Locker Building. Peg Melcher hobbled breezily over the deck-tennis court, while Bunny Drew put up a fearful game of badminton against Ruth Springer. Kitty Thomas and Hager overwhelmed the chaper- ones. Miss Metcalfe and Miss Rob- erts, in a fast game of bridge. To the tune of ping-pong balls, someone man- aged to put together some crispy cheese sandwiches and pop a bowl of corn. The final breeze was an icy draught of punch which all survived but Bucky Chamberlain. Among those noticed after the dust had setled were Betty Stevens, Jimmie Jamison, Mu- riel Tonilinson, Ken Bates, Betty Stockwell, Granville Oakes, Jeanne Walker, and Norm Taylor.

blasted out many homers last year and is expected to do much for the varsity. Without a doubt. Foxy Fred Brice and his noted bag of tricks will make Maine a strong contender.

Little is known of Bowdoin. Gradu- ation took away a few of their stars of last year, but even at that, there is enough material to make a formidable team. Walker and Karakashlan are a duo of pitchers feared by all. Shaw, Kent, and Johnson, members of the ill-fated football team of '34, are de- termined to make up for their gridiron defeats by winning a few games for the Brunswick institution.

Coach Dave Morey's chief worries are the necessity of a pitcher, an In- fielder, and an outfielder. If he can get these men from the new aspirants, Bates can be counted upon to give a good account of themselves. Gillis, Darling, Aldrich, Callahan, Sherman, Toomey, Dunlevy, and Marcus, all lettermen, are on hand, as well as a flock of good looking material, both from the freshmen and upperclassmen.

The annual inter-dorm basketball tournament is due to get under way this week with the return of Coach Buck Spinks, who has been confined to his home by illness. Last year the off-campus aggregation led the teams. The interest in the sport has been high all winter, and it is hoped that this tournament will garner a few more en- thusiasts.

The off-campus outfit, which is fa- vored to win, has two of the men picked on the all-class team in Leno Lenzi and Ted Wellman. Both play a brand of basketball which will keep their opponents on the run. From the regulars of the various classes come Mike Drobosky, Johnny Bartlett, and Dorrence Coleman who with Zaremba, Joe Pignone, Frost and Pendleton should give the opposition a good fight.

West Parker will have Sailor Tab- but, Verdelle Clark, Cap Atherton and Stan Sherman to depend on. Howie Norman, Bill Small, Larry Lap- ham, and Chick Valicenti will fill up the remaining gaps. East Parker is also in the fight with Ed Winston, Lou Meagher, Nick Pellicane (picked for all class team), George Mendall, John- ny Cooper, Al Carlin, and Bob Anl- cetti holding up their honors.

The Roger Williams outfit consists of Dick Preston, Larry Doyle, Wally Gay, Day Stetson, Norman Perry,

Bad Eyes'' Give simple Proof Of Real Study In Geology

"May I have a ticket on your train of thought?" I have seen sparkling eyes like Fosdick's. dreamy eyes like Jones', but I've never seen so many bandaged eyes in one branch of sci- ence as appears on the Batesina cam- pus. It is said eyes are the windows of your soul. Have you noticed they seem to be badly shattered in the as- sistantship of that department which treats of the structure of the earth— the Geology department. I wonder; if Randy has been straining her eyes try- ing to see that darling little fossil or rich coal field as portrayed on the geological map; if Crawshaw weak- ened his sight showing laboring pupils how thorps have been eroded or bur- ied. Clifton, Jr., and Royce seem to have acquired the secret of preserving vision. Evidently Dotty and Wendell "paid no more attention to the two latter than if they were pieces of good advice."

"Flattery is soft soap and soft soap 90% lye"— so goes the saying, so goes the report that there are real students and students who don glasses to look the part. Real students like O'Connor

Bob Coombes, and Courtney Burnap. A scrappy outfit are these boys who room above the administration offices. In the other freshman dorm, John Ber- tram, we find Butler Seedman leading a group of experienced basketball players including Larry Brown, John- ny Molloy, Ed Hathaway, Burt Reed, Pat Patterson, Charlie Pendleton, Warren Crockwell and Charlie Eg- gleton.

The drawings and time for the games will be made out on Monday by Coach Spinks.

You find me the welcome third. I am always the same, always mild, mellow, fine- flavored, friendly to your throat. I am

made of center leaves, only. Those small, sticky top leaves are sharp and bitter. Sand and grit destroy the flavor of the bottom leaves. But the choice center leaves grow to mellow ripeness, preserving every bit of fragrant tobacco flavor. I am made from these fragrant, expensive center leaves. I do

not irritate your throat. This gives me the right to sign myself "Your best friend."

PAGE 4 THE BATES STUDENT, TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1935

SPORTSjSHOTS BY BOB SAUNDERS

The breakup of the Maine Intercollegiate Track and Field Asso- ciation came as the*result of Colby finally deciding to junk the old system which Maine and Bates have long advocated. Only Bowdoin tried to keep the old rules.

State Meet In May petition in their meets. Inasmuch as they are also ineligible to compete in these meets their freshman year they have only two years, the sophomore and junior years, to compete. To

Great was the hustle and bustle in and around Rand Hall last Thursday night, the night of the annual gym exhibition.

Each group came in costume for its dance and divided near the door, the Blacks going to one side and the Gar- nets to the other, formally saluted their captains, and the meet was on!

The Freshmen did three folk dances, the Sophomores three tap dances and two natural dances, the Juniors did two natural dances and a special group did a special number 'specially well.

—W. A. A.—

Each class held a competitive relay which proved unique and exciting, and the tumbling Junior Clowns produced more than one jolly laugh. We hear that a few simple Sophomores attemp- ted to do those same feats on the hard corridor floors with none too happy results.

Ellen Bailey, Selma Shapiro Gladys Gillings and Ruth Robinson took turns at the piano during the whole meet. It was really quite surprising to find how nicely the strains of Lohengrin fit a Walrus Walk!

—W. A. A.—

Numerals and sweaters were given out and Jean Murray and Ruth Frye received cups, the highest award of W. A. A., based on scholarship, leader- ship and good sportsmanship. Con- gratulations to everyone with awards!

President Gray made a few clever remarks and at last told the waiting teams the results of the meet, 6-9 in favor of the Garnets. After singing the Alma Mater, the meeting broke up.

—\V. A. A.—

We want to thank Professor Walms- ley and Miss Fisher for all the help and patience they have shown us, and congratulate them on organizing a successful and enjoyable meet.

—W. A. A. —

Don't forget physical exams and pic- tures—a slip-up may mean two cuts.

—W. A. A.—

Talk about a college to suit the students. They have added shuffle- board to our six spring activities for some of the late sign-ups. What more could you ask for?

The present organization, under the coaches and athletic directors of the colleges, is a much saner and fairer plan. Undoubtedly track will pros- per much under the new system which is used in the other sports between the colleges, namely in football, hock- ey, and baseball. The state meet at Bates this May will bring together three teams that should take the first three places in the New England meet in Bates, Maine, and Bowdoin; while Colby will have Cliff Veysey, New England two mile champ, as well as some other fine performers. Two things will hurt Bates' chances of winning. One is the decision not to use freshmen on the varsity and the second is the almost certain loss of Harry Keller.

The decision not to use the freshmen this year came partly as a result of a movement long advocated by Maine and partly because the effects were being seen in the track team. Accord- ing to the New England and Inter- collegiate rules an athlete who com- petes on the varsity in his freshman year has only two more years of corn-

avoid the further ineligibility of stars in their last year the college has finally gotten wise and decided not to use any freshmen. That means that the services of Bill Luukko and Bud Catlin will be missed in the hurdles while Luukko is a potential point getter in both the high jump and the broad jump. Ed Howard in the quar- ter, Winston Keck in the sprints, and Charlie Cooke in the pole vault and weight events will be sorely missed. Keller's loss is due to a tendon, in- jured in the Maine meet, and subse- quently much more severely injured after it was almost better. It will be several weeks before he will be walk- ing again and his chances of seeing competition this spring are almost negligible. His performances give him top ranking in both the 100 and broad jump in the state and his loss is al- most irreparable.

When some Bates wrestlers tried to enter the New England tournament at Tufts recently they found out that it was necessary to be a member of the New England Wrestling Associa- tion for one year. Although the sport is not a varsity one the Athletic Council voted to appropriate the fees for mem- bership so that the school may be rep- resented next year. Wrestling is fast becoming one of the most popular sports and a little encouragement to those who toil away at it is well deserved. Al Beverage has done a fine job in coaching it and the men are well capable of handling them- selves. Bob Fish, Tracy Chandler, Wes Stoddard, and Walt Leon will all be back next year and will form the nucleus of a formidable team. Wrestling is one way for football men to keep in trim during the long win- ter months and if for that reason only, it is well worth anyone's time.

Catherine Condon Casts First Ballot

on the sounds in athletics shows a 400 meter race at the Harvard Stadi- um at the IC4A meet in 1933. Arn Adams, Bates '33, is very much in evidence in the race especially when he banged around the last curve and finished third a few yards behind La- Valle, the winner. The time was 46.9, one of the fastest for that distance while Adams's time was about 47.3 which is seldom bettered. Before closing we would like to tell you about another trackman who is making a name for himself in another field. Our own Captain Frank Pendleton has tem- porarily deserted the cinder path for a much more exhilarating sport—that of tobogganning. Nothing daunted when he found the chute bare of ice or snow, Frank got himself a piece of ice and got his ride just the same— and a fast one, too, he says.

Luukko Breaks Meet Records As Frosh Wins

Yearling Star High Scorer In Romp Against

Huntington

Bob Lowery, former New Hampton Prep ace, scored seventeen points last Saturday, but the well-balanced frosh team easily defeated the Huntington School outfit by a score of 50% to 26%. Lowery's great performance included a 5 feet 8% inch high jump, a tie for first in the 300-yard dash, seconds in both the high and low hurdles, and thirds in the shot put and dash.

It was Bill Luukko of the freshmen who broke Lowery's string of low hurdle victories, and Luukko tied the freshmen record set this year by Bud Catlin in doing it. In edging the Hunt- ington star in the highs, Luukko set a new freshman mark of 6 seconds. Catlin, well up, tripped over the last hurdle.

The Freshmen took six first places, the 300 was tied, while the preppers won the high-jump, tied the 300, and won the relay, when the Freshman baton was dropped. The only sweep was in the 1,000 where Bill Fisher, Blanchard, and LaMontagne finished less than five yards ahead of Gilbert of Huntington. The time was 2 minutes 35 1-5 seconds.

The meet terminated the indoor sea- sons for both teams.

The summary: 40-yd. dash—Won by Keck (B);

second, Howard (B); third, Lowery (H). Time 4 4-5 s. (equals Freshman cage record).

45-yd high hurdles—Won by Luukko (B); second, Lowery (H); third, Cat- lin (B). (new Freshman cage record). Time 6 s.

45-yd low hurdles—Won by Luukko (B); second, Lowery (H); third, Cat- lin (B). (equals Freshman cage rec- ord). Time 5 3-5 s.

for that better taste and fragrant aroma

Turkish tobacco leaf is so tiny that each of these bales contains from 70 to 80 thousand leaves.

But there's another and greater difference—Turkish is the most spicy and aromatic tobacco in the world.

We have Chesterfield buyers in all the tobacco markets of Turkey and Greece, including Xanthi, Cavalla, Smyrna and Samsoun.

And when you blend and cross- blend aromatic Turkish tobacco with mild ripe home-grown to- baccos as we do in Chesterfield

—you have a milder cigarette,

a better-tasting cigarette. ..'■-: ■ '•■ '■" ■ ■ :
