Nora Wain
To Lecture
Miss Nora Wain well known author-
ess of the best sellers Reaching for the
Stars and The House of Exile, will speak
this Friday, March 15, at 8:15 p.m. in
the Ford memorial chapel.
Refugee children from war-torn Eur-
ope will benefit from Miss Wain's lec-
ture here, one of the many cities in-
cluded in her 14 months coast-to-coast
lecture tour. Proceeds from this tour
will be turned over to the Kappa Kappa
Gamma-Nora Wain fund for refugee
children. As a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Miss Wain has been the ad-
ministrator for this fund set up for the
relief of children in Finland and Nor-
way, where homes, farms and villages
were burned to the ground. Children
of Europe have been her chief concern
since the beginning of the war.
Miss Wain, a native of Philadelphia,
has spent many years abroad. She met
her husband, George Edward Osland-
Iliil of the English foreign service, while
in China where they resided for 12
years.
Her book Reaching for the Stars, a
Quaker's view of pre-war Nazi Ger-
many, was written in the years 1934-
1938 while she was living in Germany
where her husband was studying music.
The book, definintely anti-Nazi, aroused
a great deal of attention from German
authorities. When the manuscript dis-
appeared from her home, Miss Wain
made a personal appeal to Heinrich
Himmler for its return. He scoffed at
her saying, "There never was, such a
manuscript. You only dreamed that
you wrote it." Returning to England,
the author rewrote the book from what
notes she had and sent it chapter by
chapter to the "Atlantic Monthly" press.
When the book was finally published,
she sent a copy to Himmler having in-
scribed it. "I have dreamed another
dream."
After a brief interlude in the United
States, Miss Wain returned to England
six months later and learned that seven
of her young friends had been taken
into "protective custody". She was con-
vinced that Himmler took this means of
punishing her for her impudence.
Himmler then tried to get her to delete
the anti-Nazi portions of her book thus
leaving no mention of politics as evi-
dence that she was in sympathy with
the Nazis. But the author refused to
change any part of her book.
Miss Wain returned to Germany last
fall as a correspondent for the "Atlantic
Monthly". While there, she did much
to aid children whose parents had been
killed in Dachau and other prison
camps. In Indersdorf, near Munich,
she spent several days caring for war
orphans in the displaced persons camp
set up by liNRRA in a German con-
vent.
Miss Wain returned to the United
States on the Queen Mary last Decem-
ber. Her lecture here at Allegheny is
one of 90 such talks to be given through-
out the country.
Thirty-One GroupsParticipate In
College Fiesta
"Paging Bill Fairbanks! Paging Miss
Skinner! Telegram!" "Meet me on the
rustic bridge at eleven. Eager." "Bring
me a beer." "Just married a German
Fraulein. Sorry. Couldn't help it."
"Hurry up and make up your mind.
See ya after graduation." The Western
Union telegraph office appeared to be
the most popular booth at this year's
all-college carnival. It was a brand
new idea, sponsored by C.aflisch V.
The charge was five cents for 10 words
and five cents for each additional word.
Clerks worked busily at their teletype,
transferring messages from scratch pads
to the yellow sheets. They were then
dispatched in the hands of girls in
jaunty caps who waded through the
crowd paging at the top of their lungs.
Approximately 31 groups participat-
ed in the carnival, with different attrac-
tions. The long line in front of "Per-
sonality Plaza" led to five minutes of
psycho-analysis for only five cents. Ger-
man club again sold its delicious kaffee
kuchen and coffee. Another very popu-
lar attraction was dart-throwing, spon-
mred by the Allegheny Alden Men.
Then there was the fish pond, where
one might find anything from erasers
to moth balls on his line. Around the
corner was an autcion of white ele-
phants. There were silhouettes, souven-
irs, fortune-telling, and palm-reading.
Ice cream cones, dixie cups, strings of
peanuts, punch, cup cakes, candy bars
and hot dogs abounded. Drinks were
available on each side of the carnival
grounds. On one side was the Beebe
Bar, with an obese young woman of

Year's Totals Top
Those Of War Years
Allegheny's Golden Anniversary bas-
ketball season came to an end with last
Thursday night's triumph over St. Vin-
cent. This victory made the completed
season record read nine wins and seven
defeats for a winning percentage of
.506. This is the best record amassed
by an Allegheny team in three years.
The nine victories were gathered at
the expense of St. Francis, St. Vincent,
Alliance (2), Thiel (2), Grove City (2),
and Geneva, while the reversals were
sustained at the hands of Carnegie
Tech (2), Oberlin, Rochester, Slippery
Rock, Mt. Union and Kent State uni-
versity. The totals for these 16 games
show that Allegheny outscored her vari-
ous opponents by amassing 808 points
to their combined total of 681.
The season highlights, as far as the
games themselves are concerned, are
headed by the wholly unexpected but
well-eaPned win over highly touted
Geneva college. This game, played in
the middle of January, saw Kirkpat-
rick get 17 points and Donaldson. Fuhr-
er, McMillan and McClure play great
ball to set the Beaver Falls team back
by 13 points. Other highlights of the
campaign were the Thiel at Greenville
and St. Vincent games. In the former,
Kirkpatrick, Fuhrer, Donaldson and Mc-
Clure all hit the double figures to roll
up a 72 point team total, while the lat-
ter conflict saw turbulent Bill Kirk-
patrick surpass his previous feats and
rack up 25 counters. As far as excite-
ment goes, undoubtedly the most thrill-
ing games of the season were the two
battles with Carnegie Tech, especially
the first one which the Gators lost on
their own court early in the season by
but a single point.
Turning to the individual records, the
roster shows that twenty-four men broke
into the lineup at various times through-
out the season. Of the 17 men on the
squad at the start of the year's activi-
ties, nine of them were missing by the
end of the term as a result of call to
army duty or voluntary withdrawal. The
second semester brought six new players
onto the roster.
The original starting five consisted of
Donaldson, Kirkpatrick, Fuhrer, Mc-
Millan and McClure. This quintet start-
ed all of the first eight games and
achieved a record of five wins as against
three set-backs. At the end of the first

Plan Announced
To Change Advisors
A new program for changing advisers
will go into effect immediately, Presi-
dent John Richie Schultz announced.
All students who wish to discuss a
possible change of advisers will call up-
on their present advisers for conference.
They will then be sent to the dean of
men or women who will review with
them their test scores, suggest sources
of vocational information, and arrange
one or more conferences for the student
with field of concentration advisers or
divisional chairmen.
When the student has reported back
to the dean of men or women after
these conferences, a new adviser may be
assigned. The change of advisers will
be completed when the new adviser has
been notified by the dean of men or
women.
A prospective divisional or inter-
divisional major will be referred by the
dean of men or women to the dean of
the college and to the appropriate di-
visional chairmen for conference.
If a student is undecided as to his
field of concentration, he will be re-
ferred by the dean of men or women to
the divisional chairmen in the fields in
which he is most interested and to the
dean of the college.
Miss Laila Skinner, dean of women,
is. at present, arranging for conferences
every Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
All sophomore students are urged to
see their advisers and begin this pro-
cedure immediately.
Women Alter Rules
A contribution of $150 was voted to
help restore some school, shattered in
the war. in either Norway, Holland.
Belgium, or France at the mass meeting
of the Associated Women Students last
Thursday.
A.W.S. also set aside $200 in addition
to the $1,000 already on reserve for the
Chinese student fund.
Three amendments to the A. W. S.
constitution concerning nominations and
elections were passed at the meeting.
The committee that revised the rules
was headed by Janet Zimmerman, '46.

WHY DADDY?
The importance of the right of free speech and self-expression
is not to be questioned. But these rights, like all others, can be and
are abused every day.
The incident which recently aroused indignation occurred in a
classroom several days ago. The following period an hour test was
to be given and the professor was anxious to cover the rest of his
unit of material. First of all, he was interrupted by a student who
wanted to know what the test would be like. A group of probers
chimed in to ask whether it would be objective or essay. Dates?
Details? How long would it last? Finally one young man had the
nerve to ask whether the test would cover just notes or chapters as-
signed in the text also. He added that he didn't want to waste time
reading the book unless it were necessary. Throughout the bombard-
ment the professor smiled patiently.
But this was not the end of free speech and self-expression in
the classroom. An ex-G.I. contradicted a point in the lecture. After
the veteran had flaunted his knowledge and vast experience, the pro-
fessor pointed out that they were talking about two entirely different
things. He would have been justified in suggesting that in the future
the student listen more carefully to the lecture.
After a few minutes of uninterrupted lecture another student,
proud that he had done an outside reading which had been assigned.
found an opportune moment to present a dilemma. It was a carefully
planned trap contradicting another point in the lecture. The student
was squelched in no more than five minutes by the professor's ex-
cellent rebuttal.
Altogether, about twenty minutes of lecture time were sacrificed,
not to enlightening discussions, but to the satisfying of a few egos.
It is undoubtedly bad for Democracy and bad for the individual
to accept without questioning anything he reads or hears. Take away
the free speech, and you destroy the incentive to independent think-
ing. Take away independent thinking, and you destroy Democracy.
Many returning veterans realize this better than is possible for those
of us who never left home. Many of them have seen the results of
Nazi mass psychology. They have seen what becomes of a people,
denied the right of free speech, who think only what they are taught
to think, and act only as they are taught to act. In addition,
servicemen, even more than civilians, have been enmeshed in propa-
ganda of every conceivable sort. If their questioning attitude is the
result of a determination to think for themselves, it is of course
laudable.
But getting back to the classroom, it seem improbable that any
professor at Allegheny could get away with indoctrinating wild ideas
into the minds of his pupils as long as freedom of expression exists
outside. Not only permitted, we are encouraged to read matter sup-
plementary to our text-books and to think and discuss freely. Thus,
it is inconceivable that the pointless bickering and inane questions
fired at the professor were a defense against propaganda. The mo-
tive was apparently something much less commendable.
Many of the questions could have been answered by the student
himself had he listened to the lecture or read his text. Some were
an attempt to kill time. But the majority of the questions were merely
a form of egotistic self-expression.
The act of entering college is in itself an admission that we can
be taught. It is an admission that our teachers know more about
their subject than we as students know; otherwise, we would not
waste the time and money required for a college education.
Apparently, however, there are some students who feel it is
their duty to inform the instructor. Frequently, as in the previous
example, the student's contribution is merely a waste of valuable
classroom time.
In lecture courses, primarily concerned with giving the student
a factual basis for his independent thinking, class discussion might
well be limited, especially when questions and discussions are of
value only to the individual as a means of expressing his ego.
Democracy, yes. Free speech and self-expression, yes. But let'snot abuse the privilege.
Hallzapoppin'
I hope that rumor about recalling the
ORC boys back into service has died
down by the time this gets into print.
Not that I belong to the Officers' Re-
serve Corps but if officers go back in
they'll have to have some enlisted men
to shout at. Namely, me. I am against
it. 1 am also against suck jokers as
Schaefer who, when the rumor hit, be-
gan addressing me as "sergeant." If
he expects any "Lieutenant, sir" from
me, he'd better disillusion hiiqself in a
hurry. Next time it happens I'll weild
my civilian prerogative and klobber him
without worrying about the Articles of
War. Time enough for military courtesy
when we all get back in. Even then I
won't answer to "sergeant". I will,
however, be obliged to pop when I hear
a commissioned voice saying "Private!"
—that is, if I'm loo eager with my
civilian prerogative right now.
Of course, I don't put the slightest
bit of faith in the rumor although it
did make me start remembering some-
Gl practices. Just the other day I re-
called how I used to while away many a
weary chow line by matching pennies.
One doesn't lose a great deal of money
that way, even over a long period of
time. Sweating out the Brooks lunch
line Saturday and Monday cost me 17
cents. If you want to get some fodder
for your piggie bank, see Bill Sands.
1 think he cheats. Twice he's cleaned
me out.
This is going to be a rough spring
for tlie returnees. In the first place, the
first few months back in school are
rough. This text-book-and-class business
is pretty dull and at first seems mighty
unimportant. It's hard to get your
fingers into the meat of the matter
again. There are very few wha heven't
contemplating taking off and getting in-
to something a little more aggressive,
a little more real. Come blue skies and
zephyrs— come rumors like this last
deal— and it's going to be mighty
rough. Nervous energy begins to pile
up and there's little outlet in this safe
and sane and slow existence around
here.
Naturally I have a solution— a speed-
ed up intra-mural program, but par-
ticularly inter-fraternity touch football.
Before the war that was as rugged and
hearty a game as existed in these parts.
Enthusiasm ran much higher over touch
football than over our ill-fated varsity
football. The field bhind Arter used to
iitstak?
Discovered in 1946 by Don Ludicig
In the course of three years at Alle-
gheny I've occasionally heard remarks
about the value of Reis library. Na-
turally, being an average Alleghenian.
1 took these reports with a grain of salt.
That is. although it served me from time
to time as a place of refuge from the
distractions of dorm life, and despite
haying seen with my own eyes the
rows and rows of musty, scholarly-look-
ing volumes confined on its stacks, I
still look at Reis library with a jaun-
diced eye. A place of books, simply too
many books! After all don't the most
important things in life occur outside
the printed page? Sure they do, so
better avoid the house of books as much
as possible, I told myself.
When I became editor of the Literary
Magazine last fall I knew virtually no-
thing of its history before 1943. Why, I
even had no idea when it was founded.
I did have a clue— the printers tried
to label the first issue "volume 48", but
I knew better! Last year was volume
48. so I carefully corrected the mistake,
changing the 48 to 49. And that's
where matters stood until last week. In-
vestigating the Lit Mag's history in-
volved visiting the library, and that
was absolutely out. None of that for
me!
Well, as I've hinted, last week some-
thing happened that changed the course
of history. I had to enter the library in
order to accomplish an assignment. Not
only that, but a couple of friends had
be jammed, particularly in the finals
when the two finalist fraternities took
it upon themselves to annihilate each
dther. No equipment, necessary, of
course, and some 50 men participated.
It was, and it, a fast, exciting, wide-
open game— more fun, I think, to watch
than tackle football. It involved a lot
more fervor on the players' parts, too,
than varsity. At least there were a lot
more making the old school try. And
some home team always won. With
varsity football back on the ticket for
next fall, touch football would serve as
an excellent bringer-outer of potential
varsity stuff. Let's get the league going
this spring— the best antidote for non-
operational fatigue
[>n\iously told me of seeing some old
Lits while browsing about; and they'd
remarked on their superiority over pres-
ent copies, thus arousing my curiosity.
My decision was to kill two birds with
but a single stone; upon completing the
assignment, I went in search of the old
Lits. In this my ignorance led me to the
desk, where the ever-efficient Jan Molvie
took me in tow, directing me straight to
my objective. There they were, neatly
bound, all the old Lits from 1896 to
1943.
First I browsed through them, observ-
ing with interest the magazine's evolu-
tion from a rather pompous collection
of term papers to the modern, attrac-
tive, readable layouts of the 1930's. I
found a statement of aims and purposes
in the first-issue editorial of October.
1896; in a 1911 Lit, an absorbing diary
account of the story behind the mem-
orial boulder to Civil War veterans lo-
cated near Bentley. After I'd seen the
1 its of the 1935-1940 period, I under-
stood my friends' enthusiastic com-
ments.
Then, carefully, I studied the volume
numbers. lp to 1911, everything was
0. K. In 1911, the number jumped from
15 to 17, but in 1916 someone caught
the error and rectified it. I found sub-
sequent numbering correct, until I hit
1934. In that year of infamy, a female
editor named Olive permitted No. 38
to be repeated, which error had been
perpetuated until the present time,
"llah!" I grunted to myself, "Women!"
And that's how I discovered the Great
Mistake of '34. Its significance lies in
the fact that this year the volume should
have been 50 instead of 49. In adjust-
ment, the next and last issue for 1945-
46 will be Volume L, No. 1, and it will
be known as the Golden Anniversary
Number. We're setting the deadline for
material at Monday, April 29. and we'd
like contributions for this big issue from
everyone, and that includes you and you
and you. If any money remains from
our A.U.C. allotment, a platinum bust
of me will be placed in the English
seminar room in Arter as reward for
my painstaking research, and another
of Mr. Benjamin— in tribute to his
well-kept library —will be installed on
the library desk. Long live Reis li-
brary!

pressed down into the earth and prayed
as you'd never prayed before. Where
you lost half of your men before you'd
even landed. Where the unearthly
scream of shells, dive-bombers, and
bombs became a familiar dirge for the
next few months.
A memory— The Battle of the Hurt-
gen Forest. living in mud, slop, rain,
and filth. Fighting for the meanest pos-
sible way of existence. When every
tree stood naked— all foliage stripped
by artillery fire. Where the only roads
were muddy trails. Where every hole
filled with water as soon as it was dug.
Where Purple Heart Alley was an ac-
tual fact. Where "Duffer" lost his en-
lire left shoulder when an 88 shell went
through it.
A memory— The Battle of the Bulge,
Living in bitter cold in holes in the
snow, in stables, or in ruined buildings.
/Where the snow was drifted up to your
waist and a bulldozer had to push the
snow away for mortar positions. Where
you saw your brother for the first time
in two years— old far beyond his nine-
teen years, bearded, dirty, feet frozen
so bad that he'd never walk normally
again. Where you gave up all hope of
ever living to see the United States
again.
A memory— Crossing the Roer River.
Where you were one of the twenty-four
men in a whole battalion who reached
the other shore. Where you finally
broke down and cried like a baby when
two of your best men were killed. Where
you finally were sent back to the rear
for a three-day rest when your nerves
refused to take any more.
A memory— The Hartz Mountains.
Where you led patrol after patrol chas-
ing down sniping Germans. Where you
captured a story-book soldier— a Heinie
Colonel in full dress uniform complete
with saber, staff car and radio. Where
your luck finally ran out and you got
it in the head, back and left arm. Even
now you still hear the whine of that 88
that hit your jeep.
Are we going to be true to our me-
mories and make this a better world to
live in? Or are we going to lapse back
again into our old forgetfulness and
selfishness? The decision is entirely up
to you and me.
Another Memory
Every veteran coming back is faced
with the same battery of questions. What
are the French girls like? How did you
like Paris? What did you do when you
had a pass? Let's take the average G.I.
on a pass to Paris.
It's wet and miserable and you're
wishing all types of misery on Herman.
Suddenly the phone from the CP rings.
"Hey Joe come on back. The Old Man
just drew your name out of the helmet.
You're leaving this afternoon on a pass
to Paris." Immediately the war seems
not quite so bad.
Back at the CP you're outfitted with
fresh clothes. You hastily pick up a
few German souvenirs— such as silk
stockings a few dresses a few furs,
some American cigarettes, and a few
bars of chocolate. Now, you're all set.
You load into a truck with the other
lucky ones from the regiment. You
drive through Aachen, Spa Liege,
Rheims, and then finally Paris— the
most exciting city in the world.
The truck lets you off at the Rainbow
corner near the Place de L'Opera. The
ARC soon checks you in and, leaving
your musette bag, you're off to see the
city.
The first thing you do is stare at the
beautiful women. At least they look
beautiful to you. You haven't seen any
for a few months. After that long, any-
one looks wonderful. The girls really
have on their war paint. Looks like one
of Hulburt's productions. There are all
colors of hair ranging from a peroxide
blonde to a purple-haired beauty. Some
of her hair dye has run onto her fore-
head. Not being able to speak French,
you don't say anything.
Everyone's riding bicycles and what
the wind doesn't do to those skirts!
What a wonderful wind. Every girl is
tastefully dressed. The French girls
show a lot of originality and taste in
making over clothes. Their shoes are
wedge-shaped and made of wood— due
to the absence of leather.
Well, you've been standing here by
the Magdelaine for an hour now and
you feel a little conspicuous. Besides,
someone has just whispered, "Hello,
Bebe." You decide to see a little of the
beauties (Allegheny style) of Paris. You
amble down the Rue de La Paix. Sud-
denly you remember a little cafe some
buddies mentioned. Ah yes, there it is
—Cafe de La Paix. You sit down at
one of the tables and order Du Vin.
The French are famous for their side-
walk cafes and the Cafe de La Paix is
one of the best known. While sipping
your wine, you naturally look at the
beautiful girls— riding and walking up
the street.
After finishing your drink, you wan-
der down La Rue Royale to the Place
de la Concorde. Here there's an im-
mense amount of construction going on.
Bleachers and a speaker's platform are
being built. You inquire and find out
that General De Gaulle has called for
another parade and speech. The French-
men parade on every occasion. You
look at the beautiful fountains, the gar-
dens (now turned into a G.I. parking
lot) and eventually you start wandering
up the Champs Elysee— probably the
most beautiful avenue in the world. It's
now late so, when a pretty girl smiles,
you ask her to have dinner and go danc-
ing. So you board the metro for Pegale.
You go to a black market restaurant
and for $20 you manage to have a fairly
good meal. Then to the Paradise Club.
It's much like our own night clubs only
the girls wear less. Here, you pur-
chase champagne at 900 francs a bottle.
At last you forget the war and manage
to have a good time. Finally you man-
age to get back to Rainbow corner and
to bed. How you got there you never
know.
Next morning you get a bicycle taxi-
cab to see Paris. You see the Eiffel
Tower, an ugly structure of steel, reach-
ing high into the heavens. Then the
Military Academy. Hhere the Germans
holed up and had to be killed. You
can see the chipped places where the
bullets ricocheted off. Then to the
Place des Invalides where the U. S.
army has a huge parking lot. Across
the Seine river and up Com Albert you
are pedalled by your guide. Back to
the Place de la Concorde and up the
Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triomphe
where an eternal vigilance is kept over
the Unknown Soldier. Time is now be-
coming precious and you'll soon have
to leave. So your old cyclist pedals you
down Haussman boulevard where there
are many government buildings and
shops. Finally you reach Rainbow cor-
ner where the truck is ready to carry
you back to the front. However, you
resolve to come back and really see
Paris. You quite agree with the old
Frenchman who says that Paris is the
most beautiful and exciting city in the
world.

A R SINK
A new era has arrived! This one
practically puts the atomic era into ob-
scurity. This is the era of airplane dat-
ing! This brings many problems with
it. No longer can you plan on having
your date take you to a local movie or
dance. Who knows where you'll land
up once dating by plane really gets
into effect.
Suppose for example your date siJg-
gests a movie. "Fine," you say. Then
you wonder what you are going to wear.
You look out the window— there is
snow on the ground; students are walk-
ing fast (a sure sign of the frigidity of
the weather). So you decide to bundle
up. Boots, suit, coat, mittens, scarf
gives you the resemblance of a young
teddy bear but at least you'll be warm.
The only wrong thing is that you don't
know how warm you will be. Your date
helps you into a fast little plane and
you are off.
You ask your date where you are
going. He replies that he has a surprise
for you. "Really," you titter and wait
in anticipation. Soon it begins to get
a little warm in the flying roadster and
you, as your pancake starts dripping,
suggest to your date that perhaps he
had better turn the heater off. He smiles
and replies that it is already off. Then
he flings off his coat and you see he
is dressed in a light sports suit. "The
surprise," he now unnecessarily an-
nounces, "is that we are going to a
movie in Florida." You look calmly
down at yourself. Wool coat, mittens,
scarf, boots. It it to much— you scream,
grab the controls and go into a dive
from which you do not come out. This
is what will happen to you if your date
hasn't already shown you a few rolls
and loops which turn you green and
"make the blood in your head feel like
it was being whipped around by an egg
beater." The latter is what happened
to a friend of mine on her first date
via air which was last Friday and on
this campus. Just ask her if you don't
believe the new era has arrived.
I was not going to mention the car-
nival— not because I didn't enjoy it
but because 1 know there will be at
least three or four other rolumnsv on
this page devoted to the same thing.
(Watch this not be true just because I
predicted it). But unfortunately, I
can't think of anything else to write on
and I had such a good time there and
I have some more inches to fill so I just
think I will write down a few impres-
sions. I had a wonderful time at the
food booths. 1 tried every one— dough-
nuts, punch, potato chips, ice cream
cone, root beer, hot dog, candy, coffee
cake, peanuts and what have you? By
the way, have you seen the scratches on
Bernie BerlowcV face? Well, he was,
poor boy. taking care of the dart game
when I played and I just couldn't get
the hang of it. I loved the telegram
booth even though I didn't get any.
But 1 had fun peering over everyone
else's shoulder as they read theirs. Mr.
Seely got around 200 from lovesick girls.
One of them even wanted to run bare-
foot through his hair. Mr. Kalfayan
got an interesting one that I only saw
part of since he saw me and cocked an
eyebrow at me menacingly. It said
something about l'amour. toujour, ]'-
amoiir, monsieur. Another telegram
wanted him to meet her at Casbah which
i» right OUtaide Algiers. I think. ;ind
you know what happened to Hedy La-
marr and Charles Buyer there! Gene
and Jeanie Smoot were married exactly
cine month 10, of course, their friends
had to send them a singing telegram.
Mr. (ares wants to know who signed
herself as Madame Pompadour. And I
want to know who Mat the nasty tele-
grams which 1 won't repeat to the writ-
ers of ARSENIC.

Dear Editor:
The second all-college carnival was
full of spirit, gay and novel ideas, bul
to those of us who were here at last
year's initial carnival, something was
lackiag. The songs, skits, stunts and
shows that went on at the far end of
the gym, gave much more of a carnival
atmosphere.
Chela's dance this year was wonder-
ful, but only half of us saw it— the
taller half. I heard that the Orchesis
club practiced for three weeks in pre-
paration for their part in the program,
a dance, only to find that there would
be none. I see no reason why we could-
n't have had a platform for some of
these acts— as we had list year.. As it
was, we had several booths selling pop
and two groups selling peanuts. Had
this extra space been used for a plat-
form, some of Allegheny's excellent
talent might have been enjoyed and we
wouldn't still be eating left-over pea-
nuts, pop. and hot dogs.
I suggest that next year we bring back
the carnival entertainment program and
Allegheny can have the best carnival
ever held.

An old friend of ours, that immortal
Davy Jones with his elusive personality,
will be the guest of the Terrapin club
tomorrow evening, March 14. All mem-
bers are asked to be prompt as Davy
has a peculiar aversion to performing
at any other time than 7:00 p.m. for the
Majors and 8:00 p.m. for Minors.
Our generals report nothing new in
the way of tournament games on the
basketball front, but co-eds are still
battling it out in practice. And once
again, at the risk of being repetitious,
we suggest that teams who haven't al-
ready practiced, check with the schedule
on the Brooks bulletin board.
An evening of Schottishcheing, waltz-
ing, polkaing. and square dancing will
be offered by the Heelers club on Fri-
day, March 29. Refreshments will be
provided for all those needing addition-
al energy.

Terrapins given in last weeks Campus.
SPORTS

Howevor, these varsity men may act as
officials.
In the first round of the contest, the
Independent single men defeated
Gamble house 34 to 32, while Tarbell
defeated Crawford house 30 to 13. In-
dependents against Gamble proved to
be a tightly contested fray from start
to finish. The victor's strong center,
Bill Horten. was high point man with
11 points, while Stan Chellgren racked
up 10 markers for the hard driving
Gamblers. The second game showed Ed
Dane as Tarhell's high man with 8
points. Crawford's score was divided
among Jim Frye, Bob Moore and Bob
Hopkins with 5, 4, and 4 points re-
spectively.
All games are played in Montgomery
gym at 4:00 in the afternoon and 7:15
and 8:30 in the evening. All fans are

ALLEGHENY DEFEATS
ST. VINCENT 48-39
Allegheny's 1945-46 basketball quin-
tet closed their season on a pleasant
note by downing St. \ incent last Thurs-
day night by a 48-39 score at the Mont-
gomery gymnasium. A good crowd of
students and townfolk turned out for
this last game of the campaign, which
saw Captain Lee Donaldson and slender
Bill Kirkpatrick wearing the Blue and
Gold for the last time.
With regular guard Tom Wigton out
of action as a result of injuries suf-
Tlie Campus regrets omission of
the following line in last week's
Gator Parade: Dick Andres is a
member of Phi Delta Theta fra-
ternity.
fered in the Kent State game, Coach
Garbark started John Levinsky at that
post. Donaldson, Andres, Kirkpatrick
and Joe McMillan rounded out the
squad as usual.
The first half, and especially the first
quarter, was rather a dull affair as
neither team could seem to get going.
The locals kept throwing the ball away
and the visitors, while working the ball
around beautifully, just couldn't hit.
The Saints took an early lead by buck-
ets by Bannon (No. 3), Slifka (No. 10)
and Payne (No. 4) but a free toss by
Donaldson and two buckets and a foul
shot by Kirkpatrick knotted the count
at six all at the quarter time rest. The
second period found the two teams
matching each other point for point and
Kirk throwing them in at a rapid rate.
Each side scored 14 times in the period
so that at the half the Scoreboard read:
Allegheny 20, St. Vincent 20; Kirkpat-
rick 14.
The half time pep talk must have j
been effective as the third quarter saw
Donaldson, Andres and McMillan help-
ing Kirkpatrick in a scoring drive which
amassed 16 points while the Latrohe
aggregation, thanks to brilliant defen-
sive play by Donaldson and McMillan,
was held to seven scant markers. This
period proved decisive as the fourth
frame found both teams scoring 12
times. Early in this last period the
visitors put on a spurt that brought
them to within three points of the Alle-
ghenians, but the boys settled down and
baskets by Andres, McMillan, Ktrkpat-
rick and Levinsky put the game on ice.
The final score was: Allegheny 48; St.
\ iucvnt 39.
Star and hero of the fracas was Butler
Bill Kirkpatrick who wound up his un-
dergraduate playing career in fine style
by tallying 25 of his team's 48 points
on nine field goals and seven successful
tries from the foul line. In all, Bill
had a great night which came as a fit-
ting climax to the fine form he had
demonstrated in the last four games,
kirk had fine support from center
Speedo Donaldson who, though he scor-
ed only six points, played a fine game.
i specially on the defense in the last
half. Joe McMillan was second high for
the Gators with nine points. High point
man for the losers was forward Dick
Bannon who swished in eight buckets
and a free throw for a total of 17 tallies.
This game brought the Anniversary
season to an end and left the school

years: nine wins and seven defeats.

/ifrfile 'Pie astet
Smoking is as common as eating
apple pie. Time was when smoking
had a direct connection with your
destination after the undertaker
went home for lunch. Now, the
connection is with good manners,
good taste, and good housekeeping.
Time was when we smoked back of
the barn to prevent the western ex-
posures of our various pairs of pants
from catching fire; now we smoke
in front of the barn to prevent said
barn from catching fire.
If young men wish to possess
verve, nonchalance, and imperturb-
ability while at the same time ex-
hibiting sophistication and familiar-
ity with that well-advertised tome
annually prepared and publicly pre-
sented by one Emily Post, they
should give as much attention to
perfecting the smoking technique as
citizens of the Republic give to the
technique of apple-pie eating. When
a candidate for the title "Always a
Gentleman" participates in affairs
labeled "social" he has a list of
things "one doesn't do." For ex-
ample, one doesn't go about eating
appk pie in all places and at all
times. One doesn't carry on con-
versations with a piece of crust
dangling from a lower lip. One
doesn't blow crumbs into the face
of a fellow human. One doesn't
throw the remainder of the luscious
triangle upon the floor and then step
upon it. One doesn't sprinkle bits
and fragments of the vitaminized
taste-teaser over rugs, new dresses,
table cloths, and furniture. One
doesn't pull out a slice from a side
pocket every five minutes for a quick
drag of spice, fruit and pastry. One
doesn't— Sounds silly, doesn't it?
Smoking—yes. Times and places
—yes. Good taste—yes. Regard for
others—yes. Good housekeeping—
yes. Common sense—yes.
One of the most durable of the
satisfactions connected with living
conies as a result of successfully
meeting each of the many situations
arising from the complex problem of
daily existence. Good social habits
are aids.
During these days carrying big
events, a man may be judged by his
apple-pie technique and he n\ay also
be judged by his smoking technique.

Raymond E. Manchester, Vol. 11-3)

displayed its first honest dollar and sev-

Of course, there were the inevitable
rat races, turtle races, roulette wheels,
and penny-pitching— it wouldn't be a
carnival without them. Another new
note was the booth where customers
tried to extinguish candles with squirt
guns. Above all the hilarious activity
lively Mexican music was playing, and
gay serapes hung from the balcony.

semester, Frank Fuhrer and Eugene
McClure left school via the draft as
did reserves Lloyd Kraus and Bill Mor-
row, leaving two starting berths open.
However, the return of Frank Thomp-
son Wigton and the arrival of freshman
Bill Andres greatly alleviated what
looked t<> be a bad break. These two
plu> Donaldson. Kirkpatrick and Mc-
Millan finished the season, recording
four triumphs and four losses. Positions
of the players were juggled around sev-
eral times, except the center slot which
was manned capably by the team cap-
tain Lee "Speedo" Donaldson through-
out the schedule.
High point man for the year was Bill
Kirkpatrick whose 193 point total was
tops among Alleghenians by far. Switch-
ing from a guard to a forward at se-
mesters, Kirk hit the double figures in
six of the last nine games, having over
the 20 mark in two of them. Donaldson,
who had a bad year at the hoop as
compared to his 254 of last year, still
managed to come in second with 134
points. Short but stocky Joe McMillan
finished third in the individual accom-
plishments with 121. while Andres had
68, Fuhrer 67 and McClure 65.
Of the team which finished the sea-
son, two of the regulars have played
their last game for the Blue and Gold.
Lee "Speedo'' Donaldson, who graduates
this year, has been a, varsity mainstay
for the past three seasons. He was ap-
pointed team captain for this season
following a great junior year which
brought him Tri-State honorable men-
tion last March. Tall and a good ball
handler rather than a dead shot. Lee
acquired his basketball sense playing
for the Blue and White of Etna high
school. The other regular who has hung
UD his suit for the last time is Bill
Kirkpatrick, the team's high point man
this season. Born and bred in Butler,
Kirk played first for the Allegheny team
of 1943-44. After a year and a half in
the navy V-12 program under which he
played for Bethany college last year,
he returned to Allegheny last fall in
time to become goalie for the Gator
soccer outfit. When basketball season
arrived, he captured a starting berth
which he held down throughout the
campaign. Although a bit erratic and
quick-tempered, Kirk's unique one-
handed style made him one of the most
colorful basketeers to thrill Alleghejii-
ans in many years. He climaxed a bril-
liant last two weeks by scoring 25
points against St. Vincent, thereby rack-
ing up the most points in one game of
any Allegheny player since 1943. Bill

will graduate sometime this summer
after which he intends to pursue the
study of law.
Of the players on this year's squad
who will in all probability be back for
at least another season, Dick Andres,
freshman flash from Mt. Lebanon. Tom
Wigton. Joe. McMillan and Jack Beck
are the most outstanding and will prob-
ably form the nucleus of the 1946-47
squad along with any former stars re-
turning to Allegheny next fall.
In conclusion, it is interesting to note
that the 808 points scored by this year's
Gator squad set a new Allegheny record
for total points racked up by one team;
and at the same time, raised the aver-
age points per game mark to 50.6.
