Thespians Present One-Act Plays Tonight

Statement Awaited on DormsComedies to Enjoy T w o -N ite Stand

by Robert LouttitTonight and tom orrow night New

Hampshire Hall will ring with laugh­ter as Mask and Dagger presents three one-act comedies. The Rector by Ra­chel Crothers, A Marriage Proposal by Anton TchekofT, and Mr. Lincoln’s Whiskers by Adrian Scott, will be staged under the directorship of Pro­fessor Batcheller.

The Rector is a straight human y q l Nocom edy concerning the problems of an unmarried rector in, a parish of officious ladies. The cast includes Kenneth Fish as The Rector, Priscilla Hartwell as Margaret, Ann Conlin as Miss Trimball, Rita Bunas as Mrs. Lemingworth, and Miriam Dearborn as Victoria Knox.

The Marriage Proposal is a broad farce, not particularly concerned with realism. The story takes place in Imperalist Russia and depicts a ridic­ulous relationship between two weal­thy landowners. The cast is as fol­low s: Tschubukov, Edwin H yde; La- mon, Phillip Simonds, and Natalia,Annette Schroeder.

Mr. Lincoln’s Whiskers is a histori­cal comedy based on the contents of tw o letters. The audience is made very much aware of Mr. Lincoln’s attitude toward life, even though he is never seen. Underlying the whole plot is a satire on the spoils system.In the cast are Joyce Marshall as Pippa, Gina Greenhill as Martha, W il­liam Batchelder as Hogan, William Lessard as Cooper, and Janet Mallet as the Maid.

Tickets may be obtained at the Col­lege Shop or the Wildcat, and the plays will start at 8 p.m. Thursday,Jan. 12 and Friday, Jan. 13 at New Hampshire Hall.

A F L Labor Leader Speaks Before Economics-Business Club Meeting

by Dave Cunniff

Mr. John J. Keenan, vice-president of the United Iron Moulders and Foundry W orkers Union, A. F. of L., presented hij views on the past trials and present estate of the union move­ment last Monday evening in the Pine Room at Ballard Hall before a meet­ing of the Eco.-Business Club.

Today, the Foundry W orkers num­ber over 125,000 members. The union is noted as a progressive one. There is one local in Philadelphia now on strike because of an eight-cent pay cut, but the union’s policy is that of cooperation with management in order :o insure a secure life both for man­agement and the workers.

Mr. Keenan cited the arrangement :>y which his union has succeeded in cooperating with the stove manufact­urers in a long-term agreement with- cut a single general strike. If a dis- 3ute arises, the worker or workers, rrst bring their problem to their fore- nen. If the solution is not reached vith them, a higher representative of ;he company is consulted. After that, i representative from both the union ind the company meet to settle the lispute. If they fail to reach an agree- nei^t, a joint committee of manage- nent and labor meet to consider the ;ituation. After that, there is a strike. But not only has there never been a i'trike, claims Mr. Keenan — the prob- cm rarely reaches the joint committee.

Mr. Keenan also points with pride o his union’s accomplishments in the soil Pipe industry. Ten years ago, he maximum wage in this business vas $1.10 an hour. Today, the mini- num wage is $1.45 per hour. W ages or a particular area are reached by egional contracts, so that all workers n one area, such as northern New Bngland, receive the same pay as workers in other localities performing he same task. Therefore, a worker n Dover receives the same minimum >ay as a worker in Portland for the ame job.

Mr. Keenan claims that he has seen len ’s personalities deteriorate on the ssembly lines to the extent that they

act like “ punch-drunk prize fighters.” They cannot or do not have the O p­portunity to influence the policy of their union the way the more-skilled worker does. On the other hand, Mr. Keenan feels that younger labor or­ganizations have done a wonderful job in the short while they have been in existence.

He criticized especially those strikes, such as the latest general strike of the U .A .W . against the Buick Company. He asserts that the men will have to work for years to gain back the money they lost in the strike, which he feels could have been avoided. The Buick Company offered the Auto Workers a raise of fifteen cents, plus a guaran­tee that the costs of Buick automobiles would not rise as a result of the raise. Walter Reuther, the stormy petrel of American labor and head of the U .A.W ., rejected the offer and the union went on strike.

While they were on strike, the O.P.A. granted General M otors per­mission to raise the prices of its cars, and the union won its full eighteen- cent pay increase.

Since the A .F.L. is primarily com ­posed of semi-skilled and skilled la­borers, union policy is against the ap­plication of labor-saving devices which would eliminate the worker. H ow - ever, says the vice-president, we yield to progress.

Mr. Keenan got his start in Dover and later worked at the Navy Yard before starting his own foundry in Portsmouth. He has been associated with the labor movement since he started to work and well remembers the days of labor before the Wagner Labor Relations Act, which granted the worker the right to organize and strike.

_ In general, he believes the labor picture has improved tremendously, both in the integrity of both labor and management and in the amount of co­operation between the two forces. By cooperation, he feels that even greater harmony is possible.

Library To Hear Criticism Of New Student Committee

Creation of a Student Library Com­mittee to coordinate student needs and to recommend desired improvements to the Hamilton Smith Library was announced today by President Arthur E. Adams.

Dr. Sackett Suggests "Experimental Dorm"

by Ding MaddenThe Inter-Dormitory Council pre­

sented its plea to the Housing Com­mittee last Tuesday night urging them to shelf their plan io convert East Hall and two units of the quadrangle to Freshmen dorms. The matter was thoroughly discussed and the H ous­ing Committee stated that they would consider the arguments put forth and that an announcement would be given at a later date.

Dean Sackett, chairman of the com ­mittee; conducted the meeting. This committee includes Dean Sackett, Dean W oodruff, and R. C. Magrath. The students’ brief was given by Dick Morse, acting president of IDC. He stated that the present system was by far the more conducive to the de­velopment of stffdy habits, school spirit, adjustment to college life, fu-

I ture campus leaders, and a well-round­ed university.

Dean Davis offered as reasons for the change the following: Freshmendorms; ease the transition from high school to college, identify the frosh as a group which affords the administra­tion a better opportunity to treat their problems, and gives the new students a chance to associate and advance with a congenial group. Dean Davis ad­mitted that the present system had produced many commendable results, but he added, that this new plan would reveal even “ brighter horizons” .

ID C held tenaciously to their belief that “ brighter horizons”' could be realized only under the prevailing con­ditions. They stressed the fact that this action would be the death deal­ing blow to their organization and that it would nullify their accomplishments thus far. Examples and theories were cited by both groups. Dean Sackett suggested_ that an “ experimental” dorm be instituted next year and that this working example be used as the criterion for_ the final decision. ID C felt that their system was already an “ experiment” and urged that it be per­mitted to show what it could ac­complish.

After nearly two hours of heated discussion the group could only agree to adjournment. IDG announced that they would fight on; yet as the mem­bers filed from the stuffy room in Murkland Hall little hope was eld for their crusade. ,

Library are urged to contact the newly-appointed committee members at their addresses listed above.

Christian Religious Life Served By Student Christian MovementRev. Wiltenburg to SpeakTonight on Penal Systems

by Robert Louttit

William White, Publicity Chairman for the Student Christian Movement on campus, predicts “ a most interest­ing and active” new year for the organization. First proof of the pre­diction is the announcement that Rev. William Wiltenburg of Framingham W om en’s Reformatory will speak on a subject related to penology and its aims, tonight in Murkland Auditorium at 7 p.m.

Rev. W iltenburg is associated with Dr. Miriam Van Waters, international­ly known in the field of social reform. Students of sociology should un­doubtedly gain much from attending this lecture.

The Student Christian Movement is an inclusive religious organization serving all students in its program, and uniting Christian groups in a pro­gram of worship, study, and action. Its purpose is to develop a fellowship of students united in the desire to understand the Christian faith and live the Christian life in realistic aware- ness.

The New Hampshire group is affili­ated with the SCM in New England, the United Student Christian Council and the W orld Student Christian Fed­eration. It is in cooperative relation­ship with the groups represented on the Advisory Board of Christian W ork, Inc., the sponsoring organiza­tion of the SCM.

Within the organization are these four permanent commissions: Christ­ian Heritage, Personal and Campus relations, Community Responsibility, and W orld Relatedness. These com ­missions promote many activities in­cluding Deputations, Retreats, Bible and Intercultural Study, Chapel Ser­vices, Faculty Firesides, and the Mar­riage Course. The organization also sponsors Freshman Camp, Student- Faculty W eek, Christmas Carolling both on and off campus, and the ann­ual Christmas decorations contest.

The spiritual and executive center of SCM is the cabinet which is com ­posed of the President, Men’s Vice President, W om en’s Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, four commission chairmen, and the publicity and mem­bership committee chairmen. It is the responsibility of the Cabinet to know intimately the needs of the campus,

to understand the resources of the Christian Heritage, and to plan and execute a strategic campus program.

SCM provides students with the op­portunity to learn and work together in a program of Christian heritage and fellowship. All of the activities of the group are open to all University of New Hampshire students and fac­ulty.

Letters to the Editor “For Personal Achievement” Charlie Chaplin

Manners (?) at CommonsT o the Editor:

Tonite at supper, today 'being the first of Dec., I saw the most juvenile, or younger, group of college freshmen in all my life. From the time I enter­ed the dining room until just before I left, there were doilies, milk bottle caps, and paper napkins rolled up in little balls flying all over the place.. I thought it was disgusting, utterly

disgraceful. You want better food, tell me, what is the good in trying to get something if you canff show that you want it? Here is a' slight hint. If you want to get better chow, why not organize and set up some kind of plan in which you all write home and have your parents bear words against the office in commons to serve better and more food.

Think it over gang, if you were a little more courteous and thought more of the rest of us we might try to en­joy those meals a little more. When a chunk of paper drops out of nowhere into our dinner, it sure spoils our appetite.

Signed, W .J.M.

Incompetent Reporting!T o the Editor:

On December 15 the Liberal Club held an open meeting at which Dr. J. T. Holden and Dr. G. H. Daggett were guest speakers. The topic under discussion was “ W hat _ Liberalism Means T oday” . The Liberal Club would like to correct some errors made in the reporting of this meeting in last week’s New Hampshire.

Art Grant’s resume of Dr. Daggett’s remarks was unfortunately inaccurate and misleading. Mr. Grant begins by quoting Dr. Daggett as saying; “ The Liberal today is a person who, politic­ally, is not happy with conservatism, yet not wanting to join the Radicals; . . . ” Actually, Dr. Daggett was quot­ing another speaker with whom he did not agree. It was this speaker, too, and not Dr. Daggett, who said Radi­cals have no program, as Mr. Grant should have realized since later is the article he wrote, “ Prof. Daggett com­mented upon the actions o f Jesus, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and William Lloyd Garrison; all ‘radicals who knew where they were going’ ” .

Throughout the article he confuses Dr. Daggett’s identification of the “ so- called Liberal” with his definition of Liberalism. This is particulary evi­dent when Mr. Grant reports Dr. Dag­gett as saying, “ there are two points to which every liberal subscribes:(1) the fight against Communism, and(2) the acceptance of _ our present foreign and domestic policy.” W e re­call that Dr. Daggett said this is the position of the timid “ Liberal” in a time when “ labelling” has become the nation’s favorite indoor sport.

But perhaps Mr. Grant’s most in­accurate statements are those in which

he reports Dr. Daggett as saying, “ No moderation is possible and this factor considerably hampers the liberals effectiveness.”

Dr. Daggett compared a plan for social progress to a projected trip from “ A ” to “ B ” . Any person planning such a trip, will try to get there as soon as possible. He cannot usually proceed directly from “ A ” to “ B ” becanse there will probably be obsta­cles in the way. But Dr. Daggett said he does not merely sit and wait for “ T im e” to solve the problem but de­termines a plan of action to overcome these obstacles. This progress may be slow, but he makes what progress he can. _

One more criticism of Mr. Grant’s report is his use of the quote: “ W ork with people who share your ideas; don’t question their affiliation” Jo summarize Dr. Daggett’s analysis. It is lifted entirely out of context.

A careful study of the secretary’s notes reveals that Dr. Daggett said in essence: Many iiberals are calledwide-eyed radicals, and that many who choose to call themselves liberals are not liberal at all. The “ liberal” who will not act for fear of provoking op­position, and the “ lliberal” who will not work to fulfill a program he be­lieves in, because he feels he may sometimes be working with those who are labelled “ political leftists” is ham­strung, or rather, “ finds himseff left with pious thoughts . . . and inaction. ”

The Liberal Club regrets the publi­cation of an inaccurate and misleading report. W e feel that Mr. Redfern’s account of Dr. Holden’s remarks re­flects a much greater degree of ac­curacy.

Sincerely,Bonnie Burbank

True Liberals Not ModerateT o the Editor:

In reporting some remarks of mine at a meeting of the Liberal Club you say, in your headline, that I advance the thesis that “ moderation hampers liberals” . This headline gives an in­accurate and somewhat _ unfortunate impression of what I said. I know that the misrepresentation is quite un­intentional— it is almost impossible to provide an accurate and concise head­line to describe a discussion of a com ­plex problem. I am writing not so much to complain of the headline as to correct the impression, and to make clear, to those who care to read this letter, the point of my remarks.

My point was roughly as follows: It seems to me that many so-called “ Liberals” today are confused and in­effectual in their political and social thinking because they find themselves unable to join either the political right or the liberal groups. Their idealism and desire for change leads them to spurn reaction. Eear of being "taint­ed,” or smeared as “ subversive” keeps them out of many truly liberal causes which theoretically they espouse. Hence they fall in between, and justify this as a “ moderate” position, a virtu­ous middle-of-the-road stand.

Now, this position is often one of weakness and vacillation, not “ moder­ation” . Moderation, as the concept is developed in Aristotelian philosophy, is a moral virtue, the mean between two extremes. For instance, generosi­ty is, in Aristotelian ethics, the happy medium between the immoderate ex­tremes of stinginess on the one hand, and foolish prodigality on the other. But to apply to a social program what fits only a moral concept is to be guilty of bad logic, and, often to ex­plain away a lack of conviction and purpose.

T o illustrate what nonsense can re­sult from misapplying the concept of moderation to political or social pro­jects, let us take examples at random: W as an “ all-out” war against Hitler “ immoderate” , or should we have just restrained him “ moderately” ?_ W as Lincoln “ immoderate” , in 1863 in free­ing all the slaves? Should he have freed only some of them, or all of them part way. Is the Golden Rule of Jesus “ immoderate,” or should we practice it only now and then, or only as far as it is convenient?

In an important sense, obviously, social ideals must go all the way, and the social idealist must have a definite goal, even though it may not be attain­able at once, or in his lifetime, or for centuries to come. The _ American idealist of 1776 projected, in the De­claration of Independence, the definite and ambitious goal of individualism and democracy. W e have not reached that goal yet, but the very existence of that great document will aid us in the long struggle ahead to approach true democracy. Now, the author and signers of that Declaration were called “ radicals” , were definitely ahead of their times, and risked their necks in that important and glorious venture. In the false use of the term, they were “ immoderate” in the eyes of those who had less vision, were con­fused, or were selfish. All truly dedi­cated contributors to society are in this sense “ radical,” and ahead of their time. They do not, in their own day, sink into a middle position of hyoo- crisy and inaction. Socrates and Jesus; the champ:ons of modern free­dom— Jefferson, Paine, Lincoln, Em­erson, Thoreau: these were “ all-out”men, “ immoderately” ahead of their

A noted educator once said, “ Good character is that quality which makes one dependable whether being watched or not, which makes one truthful even when it is to one’s advantage to be a little less than truthful, which makes one courageous when faced with greater obstacles, which endows one with the firmness which comes from wise self-discipline.

W e can think of no finer definition of those areas in the personal lives of students which education should strive to develop and perfect.

W e believe that the development of a per­sonal character consistent with such ideals is more important to the student than any voca­tional training and preparation could ever be.

W hile scholastic, athletic and artistic achievement are worthy goals for students, we on The New Hampshire are convinced that basic to these accomplishments is the necessity for development of a strong moral and spiritual character.

The most impressive of the above factors necessary in the creation of good character are those, we believe, which makes one courageous when faced with greater obstacles, and which endows one with the firmness which comes from wise self-descipline.

A m ong the many awards and presentations at H onors Convocations are those which recog­nize the development of character. But none, we believe, that emphasizes these tw o facts which, when possessed and demonstrated, make that character so exemplary and illustrative to others.

For this reason The New Hampshire has succeeded in establishing a joint-com m ittee com ­posed of President Adams, A dvisor Francis E. Robinson and The New Hampshire Executive Staff for the purpose of selecting annually a stu­dent whose outstanding personal achievements are exemplary and consistent with the highest ideals of the University of New Hampshire.

The committee feels that the student so selected should receive formal recognition in the form of a statuette-trophy to be awarded at the annual Staff Banquet. This trophy will be­come the personal property of the recipient in order that he may have a lasting token of the esteem in which he was held by the college com ­munity.

Dedicated to the finest ideals of personal achievement, this award will becom e a perman­ent symbol of the fulfillment of the educational process in its broadest sense.

Childish ConductSo many reports of ungentlemanly conduct

on the part of University students have been received that Student Council has felt it neces­sary to take action on the matter. This is a poor reflection on the maturity and responsibili­ty of students.

The conduct at some of the football games this fall made an unfavorable impression on par­ents and alumni. Not only drunken rowdiness, but also such juvenile stunts as throwing cig­arette butts at the band, were disgusting. A n ­other manisfestation of childish assininity is the senseless destruction of silverware in Commons and the Notch.

Aren ’t we old enough to conduct ourselves creditably, and make further regulation unneces­sary? R- H. S.

If parents would only realize how they bore their children. . . George Bernard Shaw

Charlie Chaplin, the little cockney whose baggy pants, bam boo cane, dented derby hat, and human foibles endeared him to our parents’ generation, struts at his frustrated best in the current series of old-time movies which is be­ing presented by the Sailing Association in Murkland Auditorium.

Many of us on campus were born too late to savor the greatness of Chaplin’s early art. In our time, he has reserved his m ovie-m aking activities to comedies of a more conscious social significance. Because o f Chaplin’s political views, and perhaps because of the change of time, his later efforts have not attained the popu­larity of his early movies. But the genius is there, and Chaplin’s timelessness has been proved by the enthusiastic reception by the stu­dents of the Sailing A ssociation ’s picture.

W hat is the tremendous appeal of this for­lorn little man? Chaplin far from reflects the typical man of his time. Indeed, he is the com ­bination of every one of the com m on man’s petty foibles. O ff the screen, Chaplin personified another type of character, another profoundly confused personality: the artist who felt keen dissatisfaction with his time and grasped at al­most any solution to his own and his society’s decadence.

The on-screen Chaplin, in the older pic­tures, is a confused bundle of nerves who is janglecl through a series of trying sequences. I n 1 all the pictures, the simple character tri­umphs. There is the happy ending. F or in­stance, in Hits o f the Past, one of the shorts pre­sented here, Chaplin, an ex-bum who has been evangelized into poining a Keystone police force, stops a riot by jam m ing the head of the brutal instigator into a gas light: Then, still in uniform, he steals from a grocer to help a destitute w o­man who has a poor old husband and a pack of screaming children, and later stops the rioter from beating his wife. In the end, he changes the tough neighborhood into a model one and wins the respect of even the arch-villain-rioter- wafe-beater and the love of the girl of his dreams, who sings for a mission.

Before he accomplishes this, however, he valiantly saves that virtuous girl from a fate worse than death at the vile hands of a morphine addict. This scene, by the way, is ten times more realistic than any which the modern super- colossals ■ offer us. It shows the addict in the act of innoculating himself with dope. Chaplin, as usual, saves the situation from becom ing too serious: he sits on the hypodermic needle, gets a jag on, subdues the foul dope addict, saves the sw ooning girl from his fell grasp, and cleans out a barroom in what is at least the funniest vice raid in the history of motion pictures.

Monsieur Verdoux, on the other hand, pre­sents a slightly less-confident view. V erdoux, a bank clerk, is ruined by the workings of an econom ic system which has lost sight of him as a man. T o support his family he is forced to murder a series of women for money. A ll France is#shocked at the bestiality of his crime, but to the end V erdoux maintains the crime was not his own, but society ’s. H e makes no appeal for clemency and goes to his death at the guillo­tine alone, for he killed his family before being apprehended rather than leave them without support, and secure in his faith that the future will justify his actions.

This picture was a flop. Certain sections o f the critics lauded the picture and its theme, of course, but the great m ajority of the critics and, more important, the public, turned a deaf ear toward its drama. Perhaps they were cor­rect. D. L. C.

Travelers AidOn this campus of approximately 4500 stu­

dents there are about 1200 Commuters. These students, who travel everyday have no way o: expressing themselves as a group to the facult) nor cam they have any organization which car meet because of the odd times at which the) travel. That is, up to n ow ! N ow there is the Commuter’s Committee to take care of the want: and needs of these students.

One of the aids which this group has ere ated for the Commuter, is the file of com m uter’: cars (in alphabetical order) in the Student Unior building. This file is open to the inspection o commuters w ho wish transportation for dail) rides or for special activities at night here ir Durham.

Kittens Maul Tilton 62 -34 ; Every N H Man Sees Action in Opener

Displaying all the finesse of which a well-drilled group is capable, Andy Mooradian’s Freshmen trampeled the Black and Gold of Tilton Academy effectively enough to present their coach with his first win in two years, 62-34, last Saturday.. This being their debut, one might

have expected the usual case of jitters to accompany the Kittens onto the court. However, they had complete control of the situation from the mo­ment when, following the tap-off, Ted Trudel pitched to Johnny Parker, di­rectly under the hoop. John quickly pushed the sphere up, scoring the first of his 18 point total.

Tilton, paced 'by former Hillhouse star Skip Patterson, kept pace with the visitors for the first ten minutes. The period ended with the Durhamites on the long end of a 17-14 score.

time leading by a slightly increased margin, 26-17. The shooting of Bob Gordon and John Parker, combining with Ted Trudel’s fine defensive play, highlighted the action.

The Academy gym was occupied by an overcoats-and-mittens crowd, for the temperature of the field house fell just short of paralleling that outdoors. The cold didn’t handicap the Kittens one bit, though, as they warmed the hearts of several alumni by displaying a type of play which should guide them through an extremely successful season. Controlling the backboards and hitting the hoop at a precision clip that netted them a shooting average of a cool 44 percent, they added 21 points to their total while holding the prep school quintet to a scant three.

The fourth' stanza found Andy sub­stituting freely the result being an even division in the scoring column. Every man on the New Hampshire bench saw action W es Bray being the only one to be held scoreless. Johnny Parker and Bob Gordon led the scor- i ing for both teams, between them scoring almost the entire Tilton total. John had 18, while Bob got 14 points. Sammy Sarrette, former Dover High standout and Skip Patterson were high for Tilton with 11 points apiece.

THE NEW HAM PSHIRE, JANUARY 12, 1950 PAGE FIVE

66eat tales”by Bill Reid

Back in his hair-trigger heyday, Ted W illiam s, o f the Boston Red Sox, used to set print like this on fire with his ungentle reactions toward the men of the press. It seems the Kid reported it when the prying reporters filched innocent locker-room comments of his, ’quizzled over a bottle of Bucl- weiser, and converted them into red-hot newspaper filler. W illiam s replied in kind by exhibiting a tendency to crease the long-nosed reporters’ haircuts with his most trusty Hillerich and Bradsbys— a good deal more tender treatment than he was handing American League pitchers at the time.

W ell, fatherhood and a world war seems to have robbed the Splendid Splinter of his youthful gusto, but the men of the press roll on. W here a feud exists, you ’ll find them with a pencil, prod­ding it and where none ex ists ; they’ll soon have one on the way.

Collegiate H oopla, 1950 variety, presented the typewriter bugs with a field day when the much cussed two-minute rule began to be applied across the nations’, courts. W ere Ed Miken to fracture both elbows and the Harvard Crimson to becom e national champ­ion, it would be a proverbial whisper compared with the furor the two-minute rule has aroused.

A ll across the nation, from coaches whose ball clubs couldn’t beat the P. S. 11 girls’ squad, to the most successful college outfits, oral and written blasts were levelled on this section of the playing rules.

The clause was added to the rules by the coaches’ associations in order to prevent the indiscriminate fouling which always oc­curred at the tail end of close games when the team ahead applied the “ freeze.” The team fouled was allowed to take its free throws and still retain possession at mid-court. The coaches soon found out, however, that it was all but impossible for the,trailing unit to gain control of the ball under that system. In addition both coaches and fans becom e irked by the slow -down in the game resulting from the dominance of the officials’ whistle, f

Ned Irish Paces ChangeFinally, in the waning days of Decem ber at Madison Square

Garden, the heart of Am erica’s hoop-gam e, the Metropolitan Basket­ball Association strode off on a rather unique course by ditching the two-minute rule for games between their teams. A s changed, there were three alterations: (1) no fouls could be waived, (2) the fouled team would take its free throws after which the ball would always be dead, (3) the ball would be jumped at mid-court with the captains of each team designating the player to work the tap-off.

The M B A attempt is, o f course, just an experiment, and yet some of the midwestern clubs making their appearance at the Garden have already joined in the alliance by playing under the Metropolitan alterations.

Some of the most alarming noises that rented the air over the two-minute ruling stemmed from the New England area and yet no proposals have been advanced to depart from the present system.

Since it is possible for a conference to abolish the present set­up at no greater cost than mutual agreements between the schools involved, the way is certainly open for Yankee ton ference schools to set themselves apart. The Conference directors meet but every two years, and yet a meeting is not really necessary if the institu­tions involved are as sincerely opposed to the ruling as it would seem. For the Yankee Conference, the way is clear. H ow ’s about it?

Swasey Has Right IdeaIncidentally, one of the most practical proposals yet espoused

is that of Hank Swasey, for many years director of the hoop-game here in Durham. Swasey holds that no foul should be waived dur­ing the entire contest. In addition, every foul committed during the final two minutes will be a two-shot foul. The team will take both shots with the ball in play after the final one. If the free throw is good the ball goes in play directly under that hoop. It should speed the game up and still make it inadvisable to foul indiscriminately.

The U N H Rifle Teams divided a close dual match with M IT at Cam­bridge, Saturday. Howard Brooks led the U N H Varsity with 279 points out of a possible 300 as the senior gunners bowed, 1384 to ‘1342. The Wildcat Freshmen, however, scored a victory in a two position match. Ralph Hayes led the U N H team with 185 points out of a possible 200. Bruce Dreher scored 183 points and was trailed closely by George Caplan with 181 points. M cCoy led the M IT marks­men with 184 hits.

Inter-class basketball is well under way and the Freshman are ahead. They’ve won two out of their three games but the season isn’t over yet, and with a week more to play the Freshmen may very well fall before a stronger upper-class team.

Right after Thanksgiving girls showed up at New Hampshire Hall for basketball practice. A basketball committee chose the inter-class teams from this group and they were organi­zed into three divisions: League I,White team, and Blue team. This past week every afternoon at 4 and 5 p. m. these teams have played one of their games in New Hampshire Hall under

the coaching of Miss Brown and Miss Stowe.

time, and now our heroes. Justly so, because they are the saviours, emanci­pators, and leaders of mankind. This is the lesson of history. And it is reasonable to assume that the present and the future will teach the same les­son. Today’s true social idealists— perhaps we don’t have the perspective to recognize them— will not in the test of time turn out to be the well- meaning but aimless middle-of-the- roaders. They will, almost certainly, come from those now called “ radical” , “ visionary” or “ immoderate” . This is not to say that all projected ideals are sound or will prevail. It means, though, that true progress will be born and promoted among those who have definite purpose and programs.

M ost of us are anything but great i leaders and are not ambitious to be. At the same time, we all profecc to be idealists. Our idealism will have | meaning, and bear fruit, I dare say, I only in so far as we espouse definite programs of social, as well as personal, improvement. Those who genuinely desire social equality, world peace, and a better world for the individual will j have to do considerably better than the many who mean well but fear action and commitments. They must join others who, through organization and personal dedication, take specific steps toward creating a better society. True politics is the application of ideals to society. In this sense every man— cer­tainly in a democracy— must be in a modest way a participator in political i life.

I have written to what you may con­sider “ immoderate” length because I want to make sure that those who are at all interested may get fair impres­sion of my very humble idea. I at­tach no great importance to my re­marks at the Liberal Club meeting, but as long as an account of them reached your pages, I have asked for this opportunity to make it clear that your correspondent is not an apostle of the immoderate.

Very truly yours,G. H. Daggett

“Life” Holds Photo Exhibit Features Middle East Views

The theme of the New Life maga­zine photographic exhibition to be shown here from January 5 to 30 is the “ Middle East O il.”

Life’s photographer, Dmitri Kessel, spent eight weeks in the Middle East, commuting twenty-six times by air to isolated desert oases, frequently scorching his hands on sun-heated cameras to record the rich oil fields of Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.

The series of colorful pictures pro­vide a graphic insight 'to the problems of the international oil concessions in the worlds most fabulous petroleum reservoir. The display will be in the Exhibition Corridor of Hewitt Hall.

Strong sunlight will damage most fibers—but not "Orion” acrylic fiber, the latest synthetic yam to come from the Du Pont laboratories. This remarkable fiber, which took eight years of intensive research to de­velop, has a lasting resistance to sun­light, mildew, high temperatures and even sulfuric acid. Experts say that it is the best fiber yet found for out­door use.

In 1940, Du Pont scientists began work on a new fiber that seemed to

have unusual properties. Develop­ment continued during the war when, under the name "Fiber A,” the out­put went for military use in the hot, humid South Pacific. Recently the Du Pont Company decided to build a plant at Camden, South Carolina, for full-scale production. This new plant will cost about twenty-two million dollars.

While samples of "Orion” fiber are now in the hands of knitters, weavers and finishers for experimental pur­

poses, it will probably be late 1950 before articles made of it will be gen­erally available. Then you can expect to see it in awnings, convertible auto­mobile tops, golf bags, sails, electrical insulation, as well as certain articles of clothing.1

In developing the uses of "Orion,” Du Pont will work with hundreds of smaller businesses— a "partner­ship” that will bring Americans not only new and better products, but more jobs, more business activity and another contribution to better living.

OUTDOOR uses of " Orion” will include furniture fabric, golf bags, sweaters and swimming suits. New fiber stands up extremely well under sun and rain.

Separate Freshman Dorms Brings Varied Reactions from Students

One of the most controversial argu­ments to hit this campus in recent years was recently brought to light. It is the question of freshman dormi­tories for men. As this question in­volves the men students we have con­ducted a poll to get a general idea of what the students think. The follow­ing are a few of the opinions we gathered.

Some of the instigators of the move­ment say that the spirit of the fresh­man class will be improved by their being segregated. Don Brown, a freshman in Hunter Hall, counters this point with, “ Maybe there would be an increase in spirit during the freshman year. All this spirit would be lost when the dorm would break up the next year” . Possibly then, the dorms should rotate the years in which they would be just for freshman, thus keeping the same crowd together. Complications would then set in as students went fraternity or dropped out of U NH . It is also a question of whether there would be a formation of class spirit or the making of “ cliques” , several of which are quite visible on campus now.

Even the upperclassmen are split on their opinions. Seniors, who are

graduating this year and who will probably have nothing to do with freshman again, are arguing on both sides of the question. Louis Bartlett at Fairchild says, “ It’s (Freshman Dormitories) a good idea. W hen the Freshmen associate with upperclass­men _ they pick up such habits as drinking, etc. The upperclassmen do

j not evert enough good influence upon ! the Freshmen to warrant their living together. The Frosh would also make a better organization if they were sep­arated from the upperclassmen.” W e would like to ask Mr. Bartlett these questions. Does a person or his asso­ciates decide what the individual’s habits will be? If a person wants to drink, etc., doesn’t the person decide for himself? Do you want to make class distinctions by the formation of class groups or the entire University united by the intermingling o f classes?

On the other side of the fence is Senior Maurice D. Meader who claims to be, “ Not in favor of it. The asso­ciation of the different classmen is beneficial. Also, the adjustment from high school to college comes more quickly if there is someone to act as a guide. If there is to be segregation this change will come about more

slowly and more laboriously. There should be no segregation of any groups.”

And over in Hetzel Jack Tatarinskyis also “ not in favor” . He thinks too, that the “ settling influence” of the upperclassmen is important to the Frosh.

A very definite “ N o ” came from Bill Ramsey, Jr., at Gibbs. “ A lot of friendships are made between upper­classmen and freshmen which would be impossible if they were separated. The Freshmen are more fully oriented into University life. They are oriented better and more quickly with upper­classmen to help them.” For these arguments against the move, Bill uses the best source of information— his own experience! He also says that the mixing of the classes is beneficial to the upperclassmen, too. He says that new friendships are formed, every­one gets a chance to meet new people and there is a more interesting life in the dormitories.

The faculty has to make the de­cision. Whether they will go by their knowledge and experience in dealing with people or use the opinions of the students who have to live in the dorms and who will be directly affected by the ruling remains to be seen. Inter- Dormitory Council has always thought itself to have some voice in the ad­ministration of the school because it is the organization which most clearly expresses the opinions of the groups which makes up the college— The Stu­dents. W e ask both groups, the fac­ulty and the students, not to overlook the reasons behind each others’ opin­ions and to consider well these opin­ions.

Tech and Aggie Professors Are Concerned About Grading Profs

by Dave CunniffFaculty members of the Tech and

Aggie colleges expressed concern over the usage and planning of the proposed student poll when interviewed for their reactions toward it. Generally speak­ing, the various professors did not violently oppose the plan of allowing students to register their opinions on the value of their professors’ teaching, but most agreed that a definite plan must be adopted to insure an accurate measurement of student opinion.

Bernard Rines of the Agricultural Engineering department was decidedly in favor of the plan. It was used while he was a student at the Uni­versity of Maine, and while the poll concerned only the agriculture school there, he feels that it worked to great advantage because it showed the pro­fessors where their ^Weaknesses lay, and therefore served as a guide for the professor who wanted to improve his teaching technique. If the professor is good, feels Mr. Rines, he desires to improve himself and welcomes con­structive criticism.

Elizabeth Edson of the Home Econ­omics _ department thinks the poll is a good idea because many professors, in her opinion, think too little of the stu­dent’s problems because of their own proficiency in the field of work in­volved in a course.

Professor H. C. W oodw orth of Agricultural Economics thinks that the students in any class express their opinion of the professor by themselves, whether a formal poll is taken or not. He has no objections to the poll if it is used constructively. “ W e have a responsibility to everyone in our class­es,” says Mr. W oodworth. “ If an in­structor in college isn’t sensitive to the criticism of others, he’s hopeless anyway.”

He does not think that the results of the poll should be published, be­cause good men may be hurt because of the ballots of biased students. Pro­fessor W oodworth also made the ob­servation that the popularity of an in­structor might cause a great degree of inaccuracy, because the best teacher is not necessarily the most popular.

Students seems to like courses, it has been his experince, in which the professor throws so many facts out to be remembered and then asks for those facts on the examinations. This may not be the best type of instruct­ion, for some college courses which require _ thought in forming the basis for decisions are considered more val­uable when the student enters his field of life work. But when the student is

in college he usually dislikes these courses, and hence the professor. Therefore, Mr. W oodworth believes, it would be valuable to conduct the poll again after the student has gradu­ated and has had ji chance to evaluate the instruction received in the light of practical experience. Besides that, according to W oodworth, the easy- marking professor is bound to be more popular than is in accordance with his actual aJbility in a student poll.

Tw o members of the Electrical Engineering department, which ex­perimented ^with a student poll last year, expressed doubt that the poll would be either valuable or effective when applied to the whole university. They noted,_ too, the probability of the student’s opinion of his professor vary­ing with the grade he receives in the course. They both believed that the p o lj should have definite planned ob­jectives before it is undertaken, and that the student body should realize the seriousness of it, if any good is to be done at all. One of them, who prefers to remain anonymous, said,

Grading of Profs(continued from page 7)

“ Last year, between fifty and seventy percent of the answers on the poll I conducted were too casual to be given any weight.” He noted that he felt his students had overrated him.

Mr. Dawson of the Civil Engineer­ing department also expresseed doubt of the poll’s value. At the very best, he feels the accuracy^of student opin­ion is “ questionable.”

The average student’s opinion, he thinks, is one of the moment and is probably not the same _ opinion the student would register if asked the same question after graduation. “ H ow ,” he asks, “ can the average student judge what is good and what is bad teaching?” Mass opinion would be more accurate than personal opin­ion, he feels, but, “ it’s been proven that only one out of three can ac­curately judge.” This is the ratio of students who can complete the cur­riculum of the' Tech college, and Mr. Dawson thinks that anyone incapable of doing the work involved is incap­able of judging upon the method of presentation.

In addition, he believes that the poll would not reach the professor it would help the most. He thinks that good professors think of their students and that the poll would be too general to benefit many teachers at all. He feels, too, that the popular professor would receive more than his share of good ballots, and that some resentment would be generated by unappreciated professors who consciously try to give their students the best training avail­able.

Mr. Dawson .suggested that the school could run an education course, to be taken electively, expressly for

those professors who wish to learn something more about the technique of modern education. The average col­lege professor has taken few or no education courses during his_ career, since the demands of his specialty are so high. A course in education for professors, Professor Dawson feels, would do much to caise the standards of teaching at this or any other col­lege campus.

Professor Stolworthy, of the Me­chanical Engineering department, registered the opinion that the idea of a student poll is basically good, but it can be used badly. He suggested that some method be devised to determine the scholastic standing of the student who criticizes the_ professor, thus in­suring a more facile and accurate in­terpretation of the ballot by the pro­fessor concerned. This is not to strike back at the student, he made clear, but instead would allow the professor to decide which _ polls were sincere constructive criticism, which were those of students disgruntled because of their own failure and which were those which accurate compilation and tabulation could be made.

Reception for "Dad" Lauds Long Service, Eightieth Birthday

A reception was given Sunday at New Hampshire Hall for one of the great old men of the University in honor of his 80th birthday. Oren V. “ D ad” Henderson has seen classes come and go at the University since 1914.

Dad received congratulations on reaching his 80th year, and on his long service at U N H , from approxi­mately 90 guests.

At present Dad is one of the oldest members in length of service at this college. He arrived in Durham in 1914 to become business secretary of UNH . In 1919, he was appointed uni­versity registrar, a position he held until 1938. He became registrar emeritus, the title which he still holds today.

The informal gathering was arrang- de by Dean Everett B. Sackett, Doris Beane, and Prof. Eric T. Huddleston. President and Mrs. Arthur S. Adams were among the many guests.
