WORLD PROBLEMS ARJJNALYZED

Professor B. R. Baumgardt, noted lectur- er and world traveller, spoke Tuesday eve- ning', Jan. 23, on the subject "World Prob- lems of Today". That the lecture was really worthwhile was testified by the fact that the auditorium was but half-filled. The speaker ably analyzed the sore-spots in Europe and Asia, tracing the roots of the difficulties to their sources.

In the Polish corridor, thinks Prof. Baumgardt, lies the powder-magazine that may at any moment throw all Europe, nay! the world into another conflagration. Ger- many, to maintain her existence, must ex- pand. And France must prevent that ex- pansion at all costs. It is for that reason that she has, in the last decade, built a "wall of steel" around her German neigh- bor. Russia, Poland, Austria, Czechoslov- akia, France, and Belgium stand shoulder- to-shculder to prevent the Teuton from re- gaining his feet, prevent the undoing of the infamous Versailles Treaty.

The speaker was unable, as have been many others, to explain the ascendency of Hitler over the German nation. "He is no fool," said Prof. Baumgardt, "but he is a fanatic". His dream of developing a pure Aryan race is fanatical. His treatment of the Jews, the intellectual light of Germany,

"KEY" NOTES

MUSIC DEPARTMENT IS TO PRESENT BAND

After Monday, there will be no one in the "well" to receive subscriptions and pay- ments for the Key for the balance of the week. However, the campaign will be car- ried on the week after exams—the first week of the second semester.

Again, seniors and graduating sophomores are urged to have their pictures taken (see cork board for details.)

Marie Schmidt and Linda Dill will re- ceive subscripticn payments in Williams Hall and Shatzel Hall respectively on an early week-end after the commencement of the second semester.

The campaign will be carried on until the middle of March, after which date the Key will go to publication on a budget based upon the financial status and number of subscriptions at that time.

The music department and the college is sponsoring the organization and direction of a large band composed of selected play- ers from the high schools of northwestern Ohio. The date of the appearance of this organization will be announced later.

This occasion will bring together mem- bers of the Northwestern Ohio Music Super- visors' Club and also of the Ohio Music Education Association. A feature of the conference will be the evening program to be held in the men's gym. A nationally known band conductor will provide an ad- ditional attraction. Smaller instrumental groups and novelty numbers will also ap- pear on the program.

Unusual Program Presented At the Sophomore Prom

The Sophomore Prom held Friday, Jan. 26, in the Women's Gym, proved to be one cf the most enjoyable dances of the year. The dance drew a capacity crowd in spite of the disadvantages of a bid dance in the present period of depression and mid-year exams.

A program of tap-dancing, toe-dancing, and singing presented by Miss Ransome's pupils added to the evenings entertainment. Ed. Norton's orchestra supplied music for dancing, and cherry punch was served at a table at the foot of the stairway.

"Criticizing Critics" To the Editor of the News:

There seem to be persons on the campus who are not contest with the way anything is run. They are dissatisfied; yet they do nothing to bring about changes. Their joy comes from finding fault with the works of ethers, which, although not always of the best quality, is at least an effort.

These negative personalities are one of the chief factors in our lack of school spirit Any school project, such as an athletic or debating contest, or the attempt to put out a "Key", is to them something to be amus- ed by. They lack the backbone to stand be- hind their team with no thought of the pos- sible outcome. There is no interest aroused in them by such a contest, unless ridicule of contestants is to be classed as such. Criticism and very excellent advice on each individuals' bad points are given, but no en- thusiasm or pride is shown.

This same attitude is shown toward pro- fessors of the college. The wiss student knows all about the defects of his instruc- tors. In reality, they are not considered in- structors, but merely persons whose silly requirements must be fulfilled in order to pass a course.

How much better it would be if everyone would allow himself to get a little ahead of his intelligence and forget about minor deficiences. Everybody has them, and those have nothing constructive to offer contribute in no way toward making conditions better. It is an easy matter to sit by and be pas- sively critical, but the ones who have the right school spirit are those who boost all college activities.

Party of Training School Teachers and Students

The student and critic teachers of the Training School had a very enjoyable par- ty in Gym A Wednesday, Jan. 17. The room was decorated to represent the four sea- sons. An interesting program was present- ted, including word guessing games, a new kind of sack race, a piano solo by Miss Alice Clelland, and several tap-dance solos by Miss Kathlynne Duffy. Everyone en- joyed the ballroom dancing afterward, and the refreshments were delicious. Besides the training teachers, other guests were Dr. Hoppes, and Mr. and Mrs. Church. The committees in charge deserve high com- mendation for the highly successful party.

is fanatical, and may bring to the Third Reich the seme decadence that befell Spain after the expulsion of the Moors and Jews there in the fifteenth century.

But Europe, pregnant with war pos- sibilities though it is, will not figure in the policies of the future as will those lands bordering on the Pacific, said Prof. Baum- gardt.

Japan fac?s much the same problem as Ceimany, her nation of 70,000,000 souls is rapidly becoming industrialized. New mar- kets are needed; stores of raw materials must be obtained. The logical and only pos- sible territory for Japanese expansion is the broad Chinese plain. And if China is needed, it will be taken, as was Manchuria, and as was the Pacific island mandate, the speaker pointed cut. Russia under the en- lightened Communist regime is the bulwark of the east against Nipponese expansion, and on the Soviets rests the burden of pre- venting the piece-meal swallowing of China by Japan.

Where does the United States enter into this picture? In the Panama Canal, we hold one of the two gates to the Pacific. Great Britain, at the other, has built the largest naval fortress in existence, at Singapore. Our problems revolve around t'.ie disposition of our Pacific territories, notably the Philippines. But we have great problems to meet here at home, and in a sane solution of these internal disar- rangements, lie our chances of salvation in world affairs.

The address lost color somewhat when the speaker lowered himself to urge Amer- icanism, patriotism, on his audience. In closing his masterly analysis, however, Prof. Baumgardt regained prestige with prediction that the present world crisis will eventually produce a really great leader. And the United States may well be the country which will furnish the man who will be capable of leading the nations of the earth out of the shadows, into Elysian fields.

Emerson Literary at Assembly

The program of the last Tuesday session of chapel for this semester was prepared by the Emerson Literary Society.

Howard Braithwaite, president of Em- erson, spoke briefly of the aims of the society .stressing the three purposes: to stimulate and encourage original, creative impulses of the individual; to emphasize the effectiveness of presentation of matter before the Society, to which the subject matter itself is secondary; and the acquisi- tion of facility and accuracy in parliamen- tary procedure in public meetings or as- remblies of any kind. The achievement of these three goals gives to Emersonians a degree of power and effectiveness that proves quite valuable in later life as well as in the college class.

Miss Woestenburg then gave a clever appreciation of the parliamentary practice in Emerson, telling some of her own exper- iences as well as those of others, and of some of the subjects for parliamentary dis- cussion—racks for chewing gum to be plac- ed in halls outside each class room.

Miss Woestenburg was followed by Miss Heiman, (Jo), who reviewed a book in a distinctively original and highly interesting manner. Miss Herman showed keeness and fine stage presence.

The concluding number on the program was a reading by Alice Cleland who read the story of how Moses was found among the bullrushes by the Princess of Egypt as told by a negro mammy. "An' so, chil- luns, she done named dat baby 'Moses' after de great servant ob God who done lead de chillun ob Israel across de dead sea into de promised Ian' which was flowin' wid milk an' corn pone—wad de han' maiden a car- ryin' her train behin' her."

Under the title quoted above, an article in Sunday's (Jan. 28th) Cleveland Plain Dealer, described the new system to be adopted by Hiram college next September.

According to this article, the plan of study will be to devote intensive study to one subject at a time—"Beginning next September, Hiram students, instead of studying five courses concurrently, will de- vote nine weeks period to intensive study of cne subject. The year will be split into four such periods.—The Hiram student's day will be divided as follows: from 8 a. m. until 9 a. m. he will attend a class in lan- guage; from 9:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. he will be subject to the direction of his 'major' professor with time out for lunch and for physical education."

According to the principle of fatigue taught in the educational theory classes, this new plan cannot possibly hope to suc- ceed; however, according to our own ex- periences and to the opinions of some of our faculty, such a method would prove highly effective and prevent the loss resulting from the abrupt shifts of attention between subjects of "diametrically opposed" subject matter and method.

The attempt is, to quote the Plain Dealer, "patterned after the Oxford University system," and "was projected as a result of successful experiments conducted the last three summers when students concentrated their efforts on one subject instead of several. Professors were persuaded that the quality and quantity of work accomplished was superior to that done when the students' attention was distributed over a number of fields."

We shall be interested to watch this new "experiment", and our interest will be all the keener for our appreciation of the various merits and fallacies of the idea, and for our appreciation of the attempt to find a better way in a time when our own methods, while effective, are admittedly not perfect. "The 'Hiram Study Plan', as it will be known, will probably receive the ssme national attention as the 're-vitaliz- cd' college programs of Antioch, the Uni- versity of Michigan, and Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla."

BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT HAS MARINE AQUARIUM

The Biology department has just received an interesting Marine aquarium. It is set up in room 309S. The specimens are re- presentative of invertebrate sea life.

One may observe sea-anemones waving their tentacles to catch stray bits of food. In one corner sits a Hermit Crab, viewing the world from the doorstep of his shell house which was taken from a gastropod. Or he may be dancing in front of the door. He's the most active fellow in the entire group.

Imagine having five arms full of feet, hundreds of them. Most of us stumble around enough with only two in what we consider a proper place. But the pretty little starfish gets along very well with his pecu- liar structures, tube feet, which serve him for locomotion. If you come to the lab some time, you may be lucky enough to see one climbing the glass sides of the aquarium.

The rather ugly sea-cucumber likes to hide under the sea-weed. But the sea urchin stays pretty much out in the open, because, like the porcupine, he is covered with hard spines which would not make a very good mouthful for a hungry fish.

Even the water in the aquarium had to be imported from the sea. The chemist can make sea water in the laboratory that corresponds exactly with the genuine so far as he can determine, yet the biologist knows that the sea animals and plants do not do so well in synthetic sea water as in the real stuff. So the water must be import- ed so that the inhabitants of the Marine aquarium will have an environment in which they can live. Aerating apparatus must also be used much of the time to pro- vide sufficient amount of oxygen for re- spiration.

The student body is cordially invited to view this interesting exhibit at any time the room is not in use for classes.

Dean Sharp is staying home for a few days.

. i -. . SPORT PAGE FALCONS LOSE TO FINDLAY VARSITY DEFEAT ALUMNI

Last Wednesday evening, Bowling Green received a trouncing at the hands of the powerful Findlay team. The brand of pass- ing attack that they showed swept the B. G. cagei*s from their feet. It is Findlay's probation year to the Ohio conference and Co'ach Holcomb's proteges are surely con- tributing much for their entrance. "In the first few plays, Frederici fouled 0\ "Thomas and in return he fouled L. Thomas neither one making his free throws good. Johnson opened the race with a long goal: Gardner took the ball down, passed to L. Thomas who tallied the tieing score. Shafer netted one for two points. 0. Thomas fouled Frederick who converted the free throw. Shupe sank a free toss on Gardner's foul. Shupe made a goal on a nice pfvot play. W. Thomas fouled R. Cala- brese who rang up a point and Gardner rang up one on a foul from Johnson. Frederici sank a short one and Trestmiller chalked up a long one. Orla Thomas net- ted a long one. R. Calabrese caged a long one. Phillips, who replaced Shafer, received a/free throw but failed to make it good. Trestmiller added one point and Garner heCtfed a field goal and Phillips broke away for one as the half ended.

'■' Shupe tapped in Johnson's shot, and Gardner' sank a free throw. Wallace fouled Frdderici who chalked up a point and crash- ed through for a field goal. R. Calabrese did "likewise and Weber netted one. The re- mairidef"of the game found Findlay passing and shooting like professionals.

February 3, Bowling Green will meet another fine team. The cagers will travel to Otterbein meeting a 6 foot 6 inch center, Cy Worstell and last year's high scorer in the conference, Ken Holland. In one game this year Holland scored 20 points, 5 goals and 10 free throws.

Saturday night, the ex-Falcon's used every means possible to defeat the varsity but failed to do so. Hyatt did an airplane spin and fell on Shafer. Sweringen threw the ball out of doors and with the aid of matches and cigarette lighters they found it. Freddy Marsh played a beautiful game, although he thinks a tennis racket would have helped a lot. Sweringen tackled Phillips on the foul line for a gain of a floor burn. The Alumni tried hard to knock the pins from under the varsity but were unable to do so. In the last few minutes they saw that five men couldn't win the game so they added three more. Prejudice Price, referee, sent Barnes to the showers leaving four varsity men, but the game end- ed 39-28 our favor.

Jonesy, the Absent-Minded We have all heard of those absent-

minded profs, who never remember where

they are. Perhaps it is a part of the edu- cational system, a contagious disease. Any- how, one promising husky, a Freshman in Phy. Ed. has shown symptoms. His calen- dar, marked with all the important events of the seascn has a special notation for Feb. 2nd, "Go Home". Apparently, Jonesy is afraid that he'll forget the significance of that dato.
