Miriamne should have a strength
which .Miss Wysor's voice does not

Chemists Petition
FOR AICHE Chapter
A groiin of 15 chemically-minded students met Friday in John
Markle Hall, and decided to petition the facultv for permission to
form a branch of American Instit u t e of Chemical Engineers.
A similar attempt, made
last
spring, t o e.stablish a chapter of
the national society wus discouraged by the faculty. Bernard Rudner, '3i), said yesterday that those

the organization.
Dr. Klliot E. -McMillan, head of

Space for Stacks
Is to be Doubled
By Robert Howard
T h e present bookstack capacity
of the Van Wickle L i b r a r y will be
nearly doubled with the completion
of the addition now u n d e r construction.
This was announced by S. T a y lor Wilson, field representative. T h e
office of the librarian, as well as
the work space of his assistants
will be g r e a t l y enlai-ged.
Wilson stated t h a t the new .stack
room will be slightly larger t h a n
the present one. A new r e a d i n g
room and a new lounge will also
be added.
The library of 10,000 volunes
which was donated to t h e college
by F r e d M. Kirby, will be housed in
a room which is t h e exact duplicate
of Kirby's library in his Wilke.sB a r r e home. Not only the books b u t
also the furniture, bookcases, and
all window and door trimmings will
be t r a n s f e r r e d to the new addition
here.
F r e d S a u n d e r s , foreman for t h e
contractor, stated that the two new
wings to be added will be similar
in design to t h e present building.
T h e work will be completed in
ubout five months, if w e a t h e r conditions a r e satisfactory.
T h e walls of the new foundation
a r e plastered on the outside, and
will later be given a coat of waterproof paint. T h e interior of t h e
.-tone foundation walls is lined with
hollow tile to prevent
moisture
from p e n e t r a t i n g to t h e interior.
T h e new roof slabs a r e constructed
of pre-cast concrete.
S a u n d e r s said t h a t t n e contractors a r e experiencing g r e a t difficulty in matching exactly the color
of the old bricks. Samples have
been obtained, b u t t h e complete
order for new bricks will not be
given until a suitable shade ia
found.
Up to date lavatory facilities
will be put in t h e old basement, a n d
a new stairway leading to it will be
built.

The student body has done it again. It sat quietly by while a great deal of publicity was given to the
Student Council plans for getting a Thanksgiving holiday a t the expense of a few days from the Christmas
vacation.
The whole situation was carefully explained. No
one said a word. The faculty passed on the suggestion,
and a storm broke. Feeling is bitter all over campus,
now that Student Council got its way.
Student Council was convinced, a t the time when
it drew up the plan t h a t it was complying with t h e
wishes of the student body. At no point thereafter
was there the slightest reason to believe otherwise.
The columns of this paper are open for communications, especially in cases of this sort. Not a line appeared in the "Communications" column.
Student Council members kept on the alert for any
criticism of their plan. Not a word was heard.
The Council considered holding a poll in chapel,
but was reminded that the last poll of t h a t sort which
was held was practically ignored, a n d not enough
votes were handed in to make it an indicative marker.
For the benefit of those men who feel t h a t they are
still being robbed of a day, let it be said t h a t according to the original calendar arranged by the faculty for
this term, college was to close on a Thursday, instead
of a Wednesday, as has been the case before most
Christmas recesses. So t h e sheets balance exactly—
Friday and Saturday a r e added to t h e Thanksgiving
holiday, while Friday and Saturday are taken off the
Christmas vacation.
As far as the football holiday is concerned, there is
actually no ruling which .says that the faculty must
give a holiday. It has always been a special dispensation.
Receipts at the graduate manager's office for
games honored by holidays before have always shown
that there was very little, if any additional attendance.
The general cu.stom seems to be to go home for those
week-ends.
In the face of this, it is easy to see why the faculty
felt ju.stified in not granting a holiday for the State
game, especially since it will be played .so f a r away.
Furthermore, almost all those who planned to attend
the game will probably attend anyway, holiday or no
holiday.
WISE GUY
Il was partly a compliment to John Landi.s' acting
ability that there were hisses on his entrance in t h e
third act of "Winterset."
On t h e other hand, t h e attitude t h a t t h e hisses
reflected was a bad one. It was typical smart aleck
high .school stuff, as was t h e mockery of t h e faulty
machine gun .sound effects.
A certain amount of boisterousness is to be expected, and it is not always out of place. His.ses would not
have been out of place if the Marquis Players had been
putting on a melodramatic farce, where that sort of
demonstration is expected and even desired.
But in a serious dramatic attempt, it did nothing
more than make the hissers look silly and adolescent.

Prof. Clark Speaks
At Church Forum
Prof. Henry W . Clark, director
of athletics spoke before the regular Wedne.sday forum a t the First
Presbyterian Church on t h e topic,
"If I Were a P r o t e s t a n t . "
His was t h e second address in
the series, which is entitled, " V e n t ures in U n d e r s t a n d i n g . " Last week
Dr. Herbert W. Rogers, of t h e
psychology d e p a r t m e n t , chose the
topic " I f I were a C h u r c h m a n . "
Clark spoke as a Catholic, a n d
criticised t h e P r o t e s t a n t church
for an increasingly casual attitude
tcward religion. He said if he were
a Protestant he would do his best
to counteract that worldiness, " I n
emphasizing the deep a n d fundamental things of religion."
He went on t o say that if he
Were a Protestant h e would be
deeply concerned a t t h e slender attendance at t h e churches of those

PENN STATE BIG FAVORITE
AFTER SYRACUSE WIN
By J e r r y Turtletaub
In what is expected to be the toughe.st game on the
Leopard's schedule, the Maroon will travel to State College
this week-end to battle a favored Penn State eleven.
The Nittany Lions, although having lost to Buck- 1 C A \ A M T i r i P A T F
nell and Cornell, pulled one l * * " »J rtll I l L l l r t I L
of the biggest surpri.scs of
the current campaign when
.\() wins and two defe^ats—that
they upset a strong Syracuse
will be t le record of the Lafayette
team la.st week, 3.3-6. Also l.">0-lb. team as it takes Fischer
included in their victory li.st Field again.st Rutgers, S a t u r d a y
is a win over Maryland and iifternoon at 2:00.
The .Maroon lightwi'ights have
a 59-6 drubbing of Lehigh.
SCARLET FRACAS
The LeoTiarcls. after
clropiiinp
their first two cl'cisions to I'enn
anil Hrown, have come along fast
and at pre^sont a r e supporting a
three' game winning streak. Their
o u t s t a n d i n g victorv was a 7-*>
beating handed to N. Y. U.
P e n n State's strenprth lies
in
her fast a r r a y of backs.
Last
week Chuck Peters,
170 pound
.-ophom re from Shamokin, scored
two touchdowns against Syracuse
on runs of 80 and 14 yards. P<'ters threw five passes completing
three, one of
which
netted
a
touchdown.
He carried the ball
eleven times on scrimmage plays
and gained l.")!* yards.
The star of the backfield
is
l i a r r y Harrison who seldom starts
and is used mainly as a climax
r u n n e r . J o e Metro, senior
fullback who weighs only 1 (if) pounds,
is a n o t h e r dynamite runner. The
s t a r t i n g Lion q u a r t e t
averages
slightly less than 170 while the
Lafayette backs are 174. The biggest problem for coach Bob Higgins is reserve linemen.
Only one sophomore is expected to start for the Leopards. Bill
Collins, .stellar right tackle of the
Maroon forward wall, will have
the distinction. Playing on either
side cf him will be Frank Stellatella, and Harold Simmons who
scored the
winning
touchdown
against N. Y. U. J o h n n y
Quigg
will again be the c e n t e r of the line.
Don Graff, giant tackle, Howard
Martin, and Norbert Weldon will
comprise the left side of the line.
Roth forward walls will averagea b o u t 188.
Harold Bellis will call signals,
while J i m Bryant and Leo Zochowski will be at the half. Ceorge
Lentz will be hurling the
long
pas-ses from
his fullback
po.st.
Sammy .Moyer, Ed .Marsh, W a r r e n
Breinig and Max Greulich are also
expected to see much action.
The game is scheduled for 2 p.

EPSTEIN TRIUMPHS PRINCETON BLASTS
IN TENNIS HNALS; MAROON BOOTERS
SAHADI '42 CHAMP UNMERCIFULLY, 9-0
Josc'ph Epstein, '40, and
Ray
Sahadi, '42, were the victors in t h e
tennis finals played Tue.sday on the
Easton ball courts.
In the upper-class division Epstein defeated Jack Quinn, ' 4 1 , former intersectional
New Jer.sey
champ, by the decisive score of 6-2,
6-2, G-O. The match started with
each t a k i n g the other's .service and
Quinn reliiining his second. The^n
P'pstein began exhibiting the .skill
which won him a position on t h e
junior Davis Cu]) squad. His drives
to the corners of the back court
were superb, his
lobby-raising
chops were beautifully
executed,
and his net play was beyond reinoach.
(Juinn was far from being un.-te^aely, l)ut could not stand
up
again.st Epstein's superior play. The
serving of both players was fairly
accurate, Quinn double faulting six
times to Epstein's five. It was noticed that the latter's faults of la.st
season had been greatly improved.
If Jack had kept the ball in the
back court of his opponent the
score might have been different,
but bringing Epstein constantly to
the net gave Joe a decided advantage.
The second set was much like the.'
first, hotly contested, with m a n y
a long volley.
T!ie last set saw a complete ma.stery on the court
for
Epstein,
against which Quinn
could not
.stand up. All in all, thero was b u t
one love game. That was taken in
the first by the winner.
The frosh finals, although lacking much of the finesse and steadiness of the upperclassmen, presented a fine demon.stration of cannonball serving and terrific drives.
The scores were 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 62, with Sahadi on top. J o e CuUin's
fierce drives with both forehand
and backhand in the first set had
Sahadi running, but once he got
use to it he found no trouble. As
witnessed by the score, this also
was a tough match and both players
deserve praise.
I l a y i n g with t h e Maroon soccermen as a cat with a mouse, the
Princeton Tiger.s clawed a weak
Leopard eleven nine times Wednesday to crush them, 9-0.
This was the worst defeat of t h e
c u r r e n t season for the Lafayette
team, but is no worse than wa.s
expected. Hampered by three inj u r i e s , and with several new men
in the
line-up. Coach " S c o t t y "
Cuthbertson was confronted with
his same old trouble—lark of experienced players. The fast, tricky.
O r a n g e and Black team took adv a n t a g e of it. They passed, headed,
and kicked deliberately and with
uncanny a c c u r a c y ; in fact
they
\> ere masters of the field for the
t IItire 88 minutes.
A rain of goal-tagged soccer balls
poured toward Harvey Cohen all
afternoon, and his saves probably
mounted to a new intercollegiate
record, for almost the entire Princeton team "had a foot" in the goal
mouth at some time d u r i n g t h e
game.
The Maroon-clad men started
off in their usual manner, losing
t h r e e quick goals and then bracing
up for the rest of the period. In
the second and third q u a r t e r s they
fought with some degree of success
E v a n s , S t a u g h t o n , and Landis cont r i b u t i n g most of the play. But they
dropped a goal in each session, and
when the final q u a r t e r wa.s called
they were completely swamped by
the Tiger attack and four more
went u n d e r the crossbar.

RAHLAFF VISIONS
LABOR DlFFICUin
Two major problems. labor and
agriculture, which will come up
hefore the next U. S. Congressional session, were discussed at Wednesday convocation by Prof. C. J.
Ratzlatf. head of the department
of economics.
The speaker stressed the importance of free talk and thought
in forming some solution to these
problems.
" W e are at a poiiit
vhere s;mething must be decided," he stated, "and it will be well
to note that reasoning is inversely
proportional to the political elen'.i nts involved."
The New Peal, Ratzlatf believes
marked the closing of the industrial period, through the W a g n e r
Labor .\ct and striving for social
• ecurity. The issue now is whether
to remove labor regulaticns or to
increase them.
Two outcomes of the a g r i c u l t u ' al problem were pointed out by
Ratzlatf. Either the government
will .step >n and r e g u l a t ' prices, oi
the farmer must work out a plan
for himself. In the event that Congress would repeal the agricultural
proj^raiii, .American farmers
would Le reduced to the .standard.of living of the European peasant
he said. RUzlalf stated t h a t probably the greatest solution yet suggested was the Wallace plan for
•,v.o price levels on farm products.
Dean Distler Asks
Aid to Church Fund
Dean Theodore -A. Distler,
of
Lafayette College, was the speaker
at the mid-week p r a y e r meeting
CC the
Brainerd
I'resbyterian
Church Wednesday evening and
dwelt on Lafayette's contribution
to the church in ministers and missionaries in the past and also on
the religious work in the college
at the present time.
He said that the purpo.se of the
college is to turn out men rather
than .skilled technicians in various
fields and he a.sked for co-operation
of church members in the sesquicentennial fund now being raised
by the Board of Education of the
Presbyterian Church. The money
is to be u.ied in expanding the work
of 53 colleges and universities, Lafayette College has also been busily
engagaed in raising its Decade of
Piogress fund.
Dr. W. S. Hall, an elder of
Brainerd Church, offered a prayer
for the success of the board's campaign. The services were in charge
of the Rev. Dr. Jonn Ernest Mertz,
pastor of the church.

cases of the actors playing themselves, George Schaeffer, ' 4 1 , as
Rabbi Esdras, was the chief offender, never letting the audience forget that this was the familiar portly
George. George Neilson, ' 4 1 , playing Carr, also fell into this fault,
but it was less conspicuous since
Neilson was better cast as C a r r
than was Schaeffer as Esdras.
Robert .-Vnclerson, ','!!•, played a
convincing J u d g e Gaunt, although
his voice might have been more
hesitant, in order to fit into the
rest of his actions.
Samuel Wolfe manages to make
Oke a thoroughly pitiable and revolting person.
Othei- parts all lapse into mediocrity, partly through direction. Lillian Blackstone's Piney is strained
almost to the breaking point. The
two girls, Berneida Weiand and
Phyllis Shoenberger, played well
what they were told to do, but it
is doubtful if Anderson intended
so much lewd importance to be
placed on them.
Technically, the flaws were manifest. The machine gun effects were
by far the worst, and managed to
ruin the two death scenes at the
end.
Palmer's
death
was
strong
enough in itself to be able to withstand that blow, but Miss Wysor's
was weaker. In the first place,
there was the feeble tick tick tick
that was a machine gun. In t>.e
second place there was the almost
(iothic t r e a t m e n t by . \ n d e r s o n ot
killing otf the two principals within a few seconds. In the third place
Miss Wysor could not quite bring
herself to step out of the sweet and
simple rolo that she had been playing all evening. She should have
realized that the most effective way
to play h e r death was to make it
as shocking as possible. She would
have reached the audience then, her
death would have been a climax,
rather than an anti-clima.x. She has
improved this scene vastly each
night, however, and should
be
I)raiseel for her efforts.
Opposite her. Palmer played a
r a t h e r consistently good Mio. .\sicle
from the fact that he played his
own age, or close to it, r a t h e r than
the seventeen recjuired by the .script
1 e interpreted the role about as
it should have been. T h e r e was a
certain bitterness not only in the
lines that were written for him,
'.-ut in the way he said them and
in the way he gestured t h a t was
excellent. Weakest spot was
his
final exit, when he hitched out behind his shoulder, in the m a n n e r
of melodrama villains. Since he was
trying to get away without being
seen, it would have been
more
logical for him to sneak off.
