Dramatic Art Class Presents Three One-Act Plays Tomorrow Night In Girls ' Gy m The Boor , Riders to the Sea ' and The Rehearsal to be Given The actors are ready; the stage is prepared. Final polish to the scenery and to the action is the rule of the play for Chekhov ' s The Boor , Synge' s Riders to the Sea , and Morley ' s The Rehearsal—the three short pieces to bo presented as an evening's hill by the Dramatic Art class at Alumnae Building, Thursday, Dec. 7, at eight o' clock. The reputation of the class for good plays well done assures the public of a satisfactory production. The plays are of the highest quality. Tickets may be purchased from agents of the class about the college or from the College Book Store, at thirty-five cents for students and fifty cents for others. Cycl ora ma Setting A modern note in production is giv- en "by the use of the cyclorama as background for the plays, with vary- ing lighting, and inset doors, windows, and other appurtenances making a stage of suggestion rather than a fully realistic stage. Many styles in acting and direction give great contrast and variety in the program—from the bravura postu ring and orating in The Boor, "with fortissimo climaxes, to the quiet and profoundly moving pathos and harmony and sculptural beauty of the closing scenes . of Riders to the Sea. Then burlesqu e appears in The Rehearsal , •with strong " character act- ing" to accentuate and lighten the total effect. ' Internationally Famous Plays It is rare in a small city that plays of international fame and flavor can be seen! The Boor is distinctively Russian , and distinctively universal. What happens when a widow bemoan- ing her lost tyrant—her "dear mon- st er, " as she calls him—is wakened from her preoccupation with morbid memories by a ranting, caveman of a creditor?. Well—the answer that CTiekhov gives rings true to Russian (and American ) human nature. And the numb agony of Maurya in the catastrophe that takes away the last oi her " men-folks" touches every life —-whether Irish or down-oast New England. Indeed , a Maine fishing- village offers a close parallel to that outpost of the , ArnnuJslaiids.j where Riders " to the Sea venture " among r "dan- gerous waters and match their puny strength against the strength of wind (Continued on Page 4)7 . 7 Recent Colb y Graduates, Former ECHO Editors Make Innovation in.

Irvine Gammo n In as brilliant a lecture as Colby college has heard for some timo , Nor- man Thomas addressed a capacity au- dience of students, faculty, and -town people in the Baptist Church here Monday night. From his opening words to his pow- erful finish the Socialist presidential candidate held the complete , undivid- ed attention of the large assemblage. Time after time his forceful , intelli- gent expression and vigorous wit com- manded applause and laughter. Mr. Thomas began by reviewing; the present system of capitalism and pointing out its many short-comings and faults. He d eplores the present conditions of " poverty midst abund- ance " and urged a complete reirision of our governmental and economic systems as the only sane way oxit. A considerable amount of his time Mr. Thomas devoted to a discussion of socialism and its potenti al benefits. He. discussed in detail the present ad- ministration and described the pro- gram the socialists would have put in operation in preference to the poli- cies of Roosevel t ¦ Followin g tho lecture there was an open forum in which Mr. Thomas dis- cussed questions of world-wide inter- est as put to hinv by_ nienVbers _ of ^ the audience.

But at the present time , with the world changing and . grasping out eagerl y for ideas and trends, it is quite in keeping with our educational program to be privileged to attend a lecture by the distinguished Norman Thomas, twice candidate for the presi- dency of the United States; and a lecture which took place in the First Baptist Church. Mr. Thomas has not always spoken before such a quiet , attentive , and mild-mannered audience as that which he faced Monday night. In his long and checkered career , he has come into contact . with heckling and egg throwing; his voice has been shouted down by frenzied mobs; he has been jailed; and in an era of prosperity his warning note of impending chaos was treated with scorn. His standard off "Socialism" was the one thing which marked him as one beyond the pale; and , to the ignorant , a " red- raider , " a "bomb thrower, " a " wreck- er of democracy!" __Xhe.

In Chara cteristic PosesPresents Aims of SocialismBefore Capacity AudienceFourth Speaker in

Colby LectureSeries

by R. Irvine Gammo n

In as brilliant a lecture as Colbycollege has heard for some timo, Nor-man Thomas addressed a capacity au-dience of students, faculty, and -townpeople in the Baptist Church hereMonday night.

From his opening words to his pow-erful finish the Socialist presidentialcandidate held the complete, undivid-ed attention of the large assemblage.Time after time his forceful, intelli-gent expression and vigorous wit com-manded applause and laughter.

Mr. Thomas began by reviewing; thepresent system of capitalism andpointing out its many short-comingsand faults. He deplores the presentconditions of "poverty midst abund-ance" and urged a complete reirisionof our governmental and economicsystems as the only sane way oxit.

A considerable amount of his timeMr. Thomas devoted to a discussionof socialism and its potential benefits.He. discussed in detail the present ad-ministration and described the pro-gram the socialists would have putin operation in preference to the poli-cies of Roosevelt¦ Following tho lecture there was an

open forum in which Mr. Thomas dis-cussed questions of world-wide inter-est as put to hinv by_ nienVbers_of ^ theaudience.

President Franklin W. Johnson ofColby College introduced the speakerof the evening and presided o-ver themeeting.

This was the fourth lecture in theseries arranged by the ^college.

Presidential Candidate Has HadBrilliant Career

by Ha rold M. Plotkin

"Five years ago, Colby Collegewould not have dared to invite you tospeak here." Such was the commentof President Franklin Johnson to Mr.Norman Thomas as they waited for asouth-bound train late Monday night.But at the present time, with theworld changing and . grasping outeagerly for ideas and trends, it isquite in keeping with our educationalprogram to be privileged to attend alecture by the distinguished NormanThomas, twice candidate for the presi-dency of the United States; and alecture which took place in the FirstBaptist Church.

Mr. Thomas has not always spokenbefore such a quiet, attentive, andmild-mannered audience as that whichhe faced Monday night. In his longand checkered career, he has comeinto contact . with heckling and eggthrowing; his voice has been shouteddown by frenzied mobs; he has beenjailed; and in an era of prosperityhis warning note of impending chaoswas treated with scorn. His standardoff "Socialism" was the one thingwhich marked him as one beyond thepale; and, to the ignorant, a "red-raider," a "bomb thrower," a "wreck-er of democracy!"

__Xhe. "Othe ^,Party r . ,Now, all this has passed. With the

degradation of capitalism, a new"program for our times" is necessary,and a socialized state is a logical

Entered at the Post Office at Waterville, Me., as Second Class Matter,WEDNESDAY, DEC. G, 1933

At tlie last meeting of the Colby Student Council a resolution•was passed in the absence of three and in opposition "to two orthree of the members to the effect that the Council should go onrecord as being in favor of the installation of a graduate managersystem of athletics at .Colby College. It was further suggestedthat this resolution be forwarded to the President of Colby Col-lege as being typical of the consensus of student opinion. Per-sonally, and we know that this opinion is not held by us alone, wefeel that any such step would not only be erroneous but wouldundoubtedly prove disastrous to athletics here.

To those who are not acquainted with this system, we will at-tempt to explain it. Upon this manager are evolved dictatorialpowers in respect to the entire atliletic program. He arrangesthe schedule, he hires the coaches, lie says what the expendituresshall be and what they shall not be, he (theoretically) will formout of a heavy liability an organization which is financially de-pendent or even profitable. In return for this he is to receive asalary which must of necessity take its source in either the nonetoo overflowing treasury of our college, the none too profitableprofits of our athletic program, or the none too generous generos-ity of our alumni. Whatever the source may be—an additionalsalary is an additional exnense.

The proponents of the idea argue that by judi cial treatment amanager will be able to arrange schedules so that a few largeguarantees will insure a financially successful athletic program.They say that this is impossible under the present system in viewof the fact that the "powers that be" are opposed to this methodof enlarging our athletic purse.

Our refutation through this argument is that we are definitelyopposed to the obvious "commercialization" this would entail.The position of graduate manager—a "political plum"—wouldtwist the whole purpose of our athletic program from one of edu-cation to one of financial dependence or profit.

The purpose of athletics should be, primarily, one of physicaleducation—for, after all , education is the purpose of the college.This is, perhaps, a more or lessUtopian point of view. Never-theless, under the proposed sys-tem a secondary purpose of ath-letics would be advanced whichwould rapidly overshadow thewhole program. We would findathletic education "playing sec-ond fiddle" to successful financ-ing of athletics.

Why should Colby College payanother salary for this program ?We already pay for a Director ofPhysical Education—a capableman trained in the primary pur-pose of athletics as a part of edu-cation. If any one is to be givendictatorial powers, would it notbe better that these powers begiven to one who Imows how touse them ? The students of Colbythemselves provide salaries forthe coaches and directors of ath-letics. They refuse to support amanager on the basis that is pro-posed.

PARKS' DINER

On Sunday evening, November 27 ,tho Colby Y. M. C, A. presented thofamous one-act piny, "The Valiant ,"by Robert Middlcmass at tho PleasantStreet Methodist church before a goodsized audience. The play wns coachedby Nathan Alpcrs, '34, with the assist-ance of Myron Johnson , '3 0. Thispresentation Is tho first to be offeredby one of the two casts which havoboon working on tho play and was un-usually well done.

Tho story centers around JamesDyke, a convict of little identity, cap-ably played by William Clark, '30.Sentenced to bo hanged for a crimeho pleaded guilty, tho convict has thesympathies ot Wnlden Holt , played byRobert Colonty, 'lifl , and Father Daly,played by John Pullen , '35, Thadoomed man is visitod by a girl ,Josephine Pnris, portrayed in a verysatisf ying manner by Agnes Carlylo,'30, who bollovos him to bo her lonerlost brother. Rather than make him-self known nnd thus bring sorrow tohis family, tho prisoner tolls the girlthnt ho is not tho boy she thinks himto bo, her brother having met a heroicdeath In tho -war , She departs moroor loss sntinfiod , an d the valiant;miu'chos to tho dontli chamber.

certs in the east and south, and inCanada. She has been a popular radioartist, singing especially from WEAF,and. has held important church posi-tions is Brooklyn and New York City.Her assisting artist, Lucien Plomon-don., is a 'cellist of French nationalityand training, now living in Montrealand having an enviable reputation forconcert work in Canada. He comesfrom a family of famous Paris musi-cians. His Canadian appearanceshave been numerous and well acclaim-ed; he has appeared but . onee in thiscountry, giving an outstanding recitalat the "University of Vermont.

The second concert of the seriesbrings to Waterville two artists whoare now old friends. Colby studentsseem almost to demand the appear-ance of Sanroma, and he comes herethis season for the third time. How-ard Coding's memorable piano recitalof two years ago showed him to be anartist in no way inferior to any thathave been presented here thus far.He is increasingly popular in NewYork City, where his recitals in TownHall draw capacity audiences.

The two-piano recital given by

these musicians -will be the first pro-fessional concert of that nature evergiven here. Sanroma and Coding havebeen perfecting their ensemble fortho past twelve months, and the ap-pearance of these two names togetheron the same program is a guaranteeof one of the finest concerts this com-munity can ever hope to have.

For tlie first time in the history ofthe Col'by Concert Series, a stringquartette is offered for the final pro-gram. The Philharmonic StringQuartette is a Boston organization ,composed of four of the leading play-ers of stringed instruments in thatcity. The leader, Alex Thiede, wasfor ten years principle violinist of thePhiladelphia Symphony Orchestra un-der Leopold Stokowski, and later con-cert master and assistant conductorof the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.He now devotes all his time to cham-ber music and recital, and is noted forhis beauty of tone and his intelligentinterpretations. He has grouped withhimself three others of the finest ofBoston players, and the PhilharmonicString Quartette thus formed is al-ready regarded as the peer of manyof the loudly acclaimed foreign quar-tettes.

With the concert series of 1934 nowannounced, an active effort towardthe maximum student and communitysupport will be made.

TWO GRANDOne of the many interesting stories

which have been mouthed about sincethe proposed exit of a major sport(supposedly hockey) is the story thatthis will not come about because twothousand dollars which had been for-gotten had been found tucked awaysomewhere. It might have been in thesugar bowl or in tho toe of an oldsock, the informer didn 't seem toknow.

«_

THE STUDENTPAYS AND PAYS

Tie reason why there is this con-ti nual cry of lack of funds for this andthat is not the depression , the lack ofgate recei pts or Hitler , it is beca usethe students and not the college sup-ply the money lor the coaches ' sal-aries. Instead of being - on a par withthe professors and others that consti-tute the staff of the college, thecoaches at Colby are paid from thestudent activities tax. Pay these col-lege employees as othe rs are paid andas other colleges do and there -will besufficient funds for hockey, for tripexpenses of the country 's best dis-tance runner and cha ritable groupswill not be offering to aid Colby ath-letics.

Coach Bill Millett has been meet-ing a fine group of candidates for thehockey team daily in informal prac-tice sessions down at the South EndA.rena.

A lineup of veterans in the for-ward line should give the team asmoothly-running, penetrating of-fense. A good tentative combinationmight consist of "Pag" Paganucci andhis bosom pal and running-mate LouisRancourt at the -wings, with the in-comparable "Hocker" Ross at center.

The Colby defense is probably oneof the strongest in the state. HeftyJoe Brogden and Captain Bill Hucke,alternating with "Monk" Russell andTod Taylor are pretty impenetrablecombinations as college hockey goes.Brogden and Robitaillo, flashes intheir sophomore year, but ineligibleas juniors, should be great headachesfor opponents this year.

"Hank" Davidson all scholasticgoalie at New Haven high and starnet-keeper at Staunton Military acad-emy has n ot been a-vailable for hockeyin the past.

"Al" Robinson , all scholastic goalieat Newton should give "Hank" greatcompetition at goalie.

Three great gaps left by the grad-uation of Louis Rancourt's brother,Henry, Mai "Wilson , and the greatgoalie, Bob Violette, will attempt tobe filled by a great group of freshmen,eligible after mid-years. The five stal-wart frosh aces, Lemieux, Sheehan,Landry, Hannigan , and Guiney shouldbolster the team's strength . immeas-urably in every field of play.

The varsity team plays an even tengames this season : Three each withBates, and Bowdoin , and one a piecewith New Hampshire, Boston Univers-ity, Brown and Northeastern. Six ofthe ten games will be played on for-eign rinks.

SOLD—A NATIONALCHAMPIONSHIP

And only for the price of a busfare. Michigan State "University-would glady have paid that small pricein order to have its star trackmencome in first in the National CrossCountry race in New York. . But theColby authorities saw to it that that¦was made unnecessary. They handedto their runner thirty dollars for himand his coach to pay transportationtwo ways between New York and "Wa-terville and to pay hotel expenses forthree days. To give that amount to aman like Cliff Vcysey was like say-ing, "Get there the best way you can."We don't care enough for nationalfame for you and for Colby to giveyou money for train fare to NewYork. We can pay from seven thou-sand to ten thousand dollars a yearfor football but -when it comes totrack we want to give the MichiganState runner a large enough handicapso that you can't beat him."

Thus Veysey borrowed a car fromsomeone who did have faith in him asa runner and he and his coach startedout Saturday. They struck icy roadson the -way down and got in an acci-dent which smashed the car. Whileit was being put in condition so thatit could continue the trip, the runnerand coach shared a hard bed in a road-side house where it was too cold tosleep. And there is nothing whichwill sap the vitality and deaden themuscles of a runner more than pro-longed cold.

The next day they started outagain, arriving in New York late Sun-day. Thus on Monday, Veysey, wornout from driving four hundred andfifty miles, from little sleep for two

nights, and from worry at havingsmashed a car not his own, arrived onthe field twenty minutes before therace, tired before he even, started.More than that Veysey had neverseen the course before, while all theothers who were near the front hadrun it at least once before. Any dis-tance runner will vouch for the factthat not knowing the course is farmore of a disadvantage than the fewseconds by wliich Cliff lost that race.

If Cliff had had half the chance theother runners had he would doubtlessbe the national cross country cham-pion today. But he didn 't even haveenough to pay his fare to New York.Mike watched Cliff mile after milefollow the pace of the best runners intho country, and he came back con-vinced that Colby College has thebest distance runner in the world to-day. Yet that runner is still almostunheard of simply because the ColbyA. A. cried, "We're " broke," at thecritical time. That championship wascertainly sold cheap.

Dear Gladiator :Several weeks ago a notice was

posted outside of the library askingfor the signatures of those who wouldlike to attend a dinner to NormanThomas on the day of his lecture here.There was a large number of signa-tures affixed and it was assumed thatall Mho signed and then presentedthemselves plus six hits at the Elm-wood at six o'clock on Monday wouldhave the privilege of dining with Mr.Thomas.

Something went askew, on Mondayand some of the would-be hosts wereinformed that there would be no din-ner, others went to the Elmwood atthe appointed hour, found the dinnerto be an exclusive one and went away.

There is nothing serious about theabove except whatever disappoint-ment there may have been to the hun-gry ones who trod into the hotel andthere found themselves unwanted, butthere is another circumstance con-nected with the Thomas lecture whichmerits consideration.

Mr. Thomas is one of the foremostmen in America. He leads tho social-ist cause. Thousands turn out to hearhim in every part of tho country be-cause of his keen mental powers,clever -wit and forceful oratory, yetColby did not capitalize in the leastupon the pubilicity which it mighthave enjoyed in having Mr. Thomasas its gruest. It seems that we mustbe still ashamed of the fact that sucha great man comes here, because therewas no record of it in the press out-side of Waterville.

It may be a mistake to deem tmslack of publicity an oversight, but wehate to see the papers blowing Bow-doin's horn every time someone turnsaround down there without even asqueak: from Colby when NormanThomas visits th e campus.

Yours,Crab.

trend for a new program to take. So-cialism is slowly coming into its own,and there wore more than a few ar-dent Waterville Democrats or Repub-licans who came into the hall , notwishing to be noticed, but who leftwith a conviction that the next ticketthey would vote would be the "otherparty"—for Mr, Thomas showedclearly that there is no differencebasically between the Republicans andthe Democrats.

Candidate For OfficeNorman Thomas was born Novem-

ber 20, 1884. He graduated fromPrinceton, and after study at a theo-logical seminary, was ordained aPresbyterian minister. He was thefounder and editor of World To-Mor-row, former associate editor of TheNation , and is a contributor to manyperiodicals. He -was the Socialist can-didate for Mayor of New York, forGovern or of New York, and in 1928and 1932 for President of the UnitedStates. In the 1929 election forMayor of New York, Mr. Thomas poll-ed over 175,000 votes. This figure

does not include the thousands ofvotes which are uncounted or thrownaway in New York's peculiar, not tosay corrupt , election system.

Mr. Thomas is as well informedabout the conditions in this countryas any man. He has travelled exten-sively, and ean speak authoritativelyfrom first hand information aboutsuch subjects as the sweat shops ofFall River, the mines in Montana andWest Virginia , the plight of the west-ern farmers. He has positive convic-tions, which he is not afraid to ad-vance, concerning the state capitalismof Uoosevelt, the backdown of Mac-Donald , or his distrust of McKee.

The "Program for Our Times" wasfully outlined by Mr. Thomas Mondaynight. The capacity audience at thelecture was charmed by the person-ality of the speaker. Mr. Thomas isa powerful speaker, his voice is clear ,and would rise to a shout when hebrought forth tho necessity for elim-inating poverty and unemployment, orwhen he denounced capitalism for at-tempting to "recover tho gamblers'orgy of unsound prosperity which theCoolidge era was."
