Workshop Plays Begin Next Week, Wednesday
The annual W orkshop One-act Plays will open on Wednesday, January 22, and run for two nights. The three presentations are The Marriage Proposal by A nton Chekov, The Old Lady Shows H er Medals, by Sir James Barrie, and the one-act opera, Doran In The Valley, by Kurt Wells. They are being presented through the combined efforts o f the English 47 class, The A rt’s 35 class and the Music Department. Performances _ are covered by the season’s ticket. Single admission is $.75.
The Marriage Proposal is one o f the most famous farce-comedy one-acts ever to be written. The setting is Russia in the late nineteenth century and the plot involves a neurotic, middle-aged bachelor landowner with numerous psychosomatic symptoms who decides to get married because ” 35 is a critical age.” Attempts to propose to the not too marriageable neighbor girl are interrupted by an ancient dispute over who owns what.
The girl’s father, Stephan Stephan- ovitch is played by Frank Wells, his daughter, Natalya Stepanovna, by Carol Zak and the suitor, Ivan Vassilevitch, by Richard Kenyon.
Television Credits
The Old Lady Shows H er Medals will be known by some because of its recent appearance on television with Grade Fields. The author, Sir James Barrie, has also to his credit, P eter Pan and The Admirable Crichton.
It happens that in the play Mrs. Dow - ey, the neighborhood char-woman obsessed with the drive to gain prestige, pretends that she has a son in the war (W orld W ar I ) . Complications arise with the appearance o f her “ son.”
Mary Hardy plays Mrs. D ow ey; Cynthia Varrell, Mrs. Tulley; Diane W oods, Mrs. H aggerty; and Casey Kirvan, Mrs. Mickelham; the third lady of the neighborhood. Kenneth Dowey is played by Bill Houle and Bob Blouin plays the Reverend Wilkinson.
Kurt W eill, the author of Down In
The Valley, who died recently, was widely proclaimed as one of America’s greatest potential artists and placed in the same category with Carlos Minotti. He wrote the music for both Knickerbocker^ Holiday, “ September Song” being one of the hit tunes, and Street Scene. His one- act opera is a charming piece of work based on folk themes. A love story, it comes from the folk song, “ He died for the love of sweet Jennie Parsons, he died for the slaying of Thomas Bouche.”

University Will Honor Ideals Of Brotherhood With Varied Events
Beginning February 9, for one week the University will honor National Brotherhood W eek. This is a national program, purporting to encourage respectful attitudes toward one’s felloW man, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.
The University will try to spark this feeling with a varied program of events. Hamilton-Smith Library will exhibit a collection of religious paintings and replicas symbolizing major faiths throughout this nation and the nations o f the earth.
W M D R , campus radio station, will bring dedicatory messages from celebrities o f the entertainment world, including Bing Crosby, Jack Benny, and Perry Com o; and be sure and listen Wednesday,February 12, for the voice of Jack W ebb and others over the Outing Club sound truck.
The Music Department’s Professor Bartley will sound songs of the major creeds on the Thompson Hall Carillon at noon on Thursday the 13th. Following this concert at 1 p.m. will be a Convocation; the speaker, Monseignor Lally, is also editor o f “ The Pilot,” a national Catholic publication.
During this convocation President Johnson will present an award to the student who most exemplifies the spirit of brotherhood. The choice will be based on the answers to questionnaires which have been sent to the presidents o f all campus organizations. The final decision will be made by a committee consisting of Dean Mrs. Margaret McKoane and Dean Gardiner, and Dr. Eddy.
Brotherhood W eek is sponsored by the University Religious Club, made up of two representatives from each religious organization on campus, and Reverend Mitchell, Father p ’Connor, Reverend Savidge, and Rabbi Zinnis.
Kappa Deltas Plan Anniversary Dance
Roses bloom even in January, especi ally when they ard'the roses of friendship. T om orrow night the sisters of Kappa Delta will entertain the entire campus at a sem i-form al “ W hite R ose Ball” which will be held from 8 until 11:45 p.m. in the Strafford R oom o f the M em orial Union.
T he Ball, the first sem i-form al dance to take place in the new U nion, will feature the music of Bill D ygert’s O rchestra. This popular ensem ble has already gained recognition on this cam pus, having perform ed at various cam pus affairs. T he group plays music to suit the tastes of the dancers.
T he Kappa Deltas have planned the Ball in part to com m em orate the 60th anniversary of the sorority ’s founding, and in part to set a precedent for other houses in sponsoring a social event which includes all other Greek organizations and all members of the non- G reek world. T h e theme of the Ball was chosen because the white rose is the sorority flower.
The sorority was founded in 1897 at L on gw ood College in Virginia, and now has 91 chapters throughout the country. Kappa Delta was first organized on this campus in 1929.
A ll sisters have contributed their share in planning for this affair, under the leadership of general co-ordinator, Carole Chadwick. Other com m ittee heads are as fo llow s: decorations, Janice K in g ; invitations, R obie D elano; and publicity, Joan Burnis.
President Cynthia Varrell expressed the hope that a large share of the student bod y will attend the Ball, which is the highpoint o f Kappa D elta ’ s social activities for the year.
A lthough admission is free, tickets should be obtained from Carol R ichardson in Scott Hall, the Kappa Delta house, or at the door.
Fraternity Rushing Starts This Week; Frosh Registered
Fraternity rushing is off to a good start. Eligible Freshmen men registered with IFC representatives at the Memorial Union earlier this week. This new rule is to eliminate the confusion prevalent in past years concerning who is and who is not interested in Fraternities.
IFC president W ayne Sinclair explained the change in another rushing rule concerning second-semester transfers. The transfers may now rush provided that they have Sophomore standing at the University.
The first two Mondays of the Fraternity rushing period will be taken up with rushing in the dorms. A t this time, fraternity men will visit prospective pledges in their dormitory rooms. On the_ last two Monday nights, open houses will be held for the rushees at the various fraternities.
Whereas the Fraternity rushing will cover three and one-half weeks, from Feb. 10 to March 5, the Sororities will begin their rushing Feb. 12 and conclude with pledging on Feb. 28.
Freshmen women with an average of2.0 may take part in rushing. Transfer students must have an accumulative average of 2.0 in all credits transferred.
Tours will be conducted by Pan-Hellenic members Wednesday, Feb. 12 and Thursday, Feb. 13. Six groups of co-eds will be taken from Memorial Union at 7 :00 p.m. to visit three Sorority houses each night. Once at the houses, a member of that particular Sorority will guide the rushees.
On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 16, the Sororities will give teas during the afternoon. A series of six teas will be held at each house. Directly after these teas, registration for rushing will take place in the dormitories from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m.
Following this, the Sororities will hold informal invitation parties on Monday and Tuesday. During the third week of rushing, the Conclusive parties will be held on Feb. 24, 25, and 26. T w o houses will hold a party on each night. Thursday is the day of silence during which there is to be no communication between sorority women and prospective pledges. On Friday, Feb. 28, bidding and pledging will take place.
Pan-Hellenic members will meet with the rushees in dorms before rushing in order to help answer their questions. At this time, they will distribute rushing handbooks designed to give rushees complete information about rushing rules, costs of pledging, and officers of the respective houses.
Educators Plan State-wide Conference On Education
The New Hampshire Conference on Education Beyond the High School will hold a state-wide invitational meeting at Plymouth Teachers College, April 17.
Principal speakers at the meeting, as announced by Dr. Edward D. Eddy, Jr., conference chairman, will be Governor Lane Dwinnell, University President E ldon Johnson, and Dr. Robert Kroepsch, executive secretary of the New England Board of High Education.
The conference will bring together lay people and educators from all parts of the state for a frank discussion of educational problems in New Hampshire, with special emphasis on the difficulties to be faced in the next ten years.
Phi Alpha ElectsIn elections recently held at Phi A l
pha the following people assumed new office: President, William Levine; V ice- President, Donald Silverman; Secretary, Lee Ansell; and Treasurer, Charles Neos.
Baseball NoticeAll students who intend to try out for
the 1958 varsity baseball team are urgently requested to attend a meeting with Head Coach Hank Swasey at the Lewis Field House on January 20 at 7:15 p.m. This meeting will be short but very important.
Tuition HikeTuition for out-of-state students
attending the University will be increased by $100 beginning next September.
In approving the increase, which will make nonresident tuition here $700 per year, the University Board of Trustees authorized plans for increasing substantially the number and size of scholarships available to out-of-state students in financial need.
President Eldon L . Johnson cited rising costs and the continuing of salary increases made last year as reasons for the hike.
“While the increase will make our out-of-state tuition the second highest among state universities,” President Johnson said, “it is necessary to sustain faculty salary increases granted a year ago.” The president added that despite this, U N H faculty salaries still remain below the national average for state universities. Resident tuition will not be affected by the trustees action.
Program Released For Annual Winter Carniva
By Sandra O ’Connell
The O L D M A N will bring his M A G IC to Durham this year on Feb. 20, when the New Hampshire Outing Club presents its annual Winter Carnival. Its gala program has been released as follows:
The festivities will begin on Thursday night with the traditionalmovie at the Franklin, followed by a torchlight parade and the installation of the queen at the winning snow sculpture.
The evening will culminate _ with aJazz Concert at New Hampshire Hall at 9 :30 p.m. This concert will feature, among others, the Colby Eight and Dartmouth’s Indian Chiefs. This latter group has appeared throughout the East and in Bermuda. Its specialty is Dixie, (with bagpipes, y e t !) which should make the concert well worth its .75 admission and keep all the “ cats purring.”
N. H. Hall TransformedOn Friday night New Hampshire Hall
will be transformed into the scene of the Royal Ball, where the queen and her aides will be crowned. Rumor has it that the Outing Club has really done itself proud in the selection of this year’s orchestra; however, the Club isn’t at liberty to divulge its choice as yet.
This year, for the first time) Outing Club members will be admitted to the Ball at a reduced rate.
Saturday will be a full day for carnival goers, beginning in the early afternoon with a winter sports competition at Garrison Hill in Dover. A ll housing units are eligible and will compete in cross country skiing, snowshoeing, slalom, and pack racing. Trophies will be awarded to the units with the highest accumulation of points.
Ice ShowIn the early evening there will be an
ice show at Batchelder Rink; admission will be .75. This will be followed by a semi-formal dance at the Memorial Union and the usual fraternity house parties.
The week-end will draw to a close on Sunday with a ski trip to the area with the best conditions. As an added attraction to this year’s Carnival sports events, there will be an open ski meet, for Class C and unclassified skiers at Sunapee, N. H., on Sunday, March 2.
As in previous years, this year’s queen will be selected from popular male vote upon candidates chosen by the women’s housing units;
Public Talk Features Noted Father Gibbons* Tonight at 7:30 p.m., in Murkland
Auditorium, there will be a public lecture featuring the Rev. W illiam J. Gibbons, S.J., noted author, sociologist, and professor. Father Gibbons will present, as his topic, a timely, scientific,_ and authortative study entitled^ “ Man, Science, and M orality” , with special reference to the problem o f overpopulation.
This talk should be informative to those who are striving to relate Christian principles to the acute international social problems of our day. Opinions about overpopulation to be expressed by Father Gibbons should also prove interesting in view of the statements on this subject put forth by Hermann J; Muller at a recent University convocation.
Father Gibbons has taken part in many international conferences on rural life, world population, migration, and statistics which were held in Rome, Colombia, the Netherlands, and Rio de Janeiro. This noted Jesuit has also been present at many U N conferences as well as attending the President’s Conference on Aging in 1950, the U N E SC O National Conference in 1951, and various State Department meetings on international affairs.
As well as being the co-author of R efu gees are People, Father Gibbons has written articles for such publications as Studies in Population, Eugenics Quarterly, America, and many professional journals.
Father Gibbons holds membership in organizations such as the American Socio logical Society, the American Economic Association, the Population Association o f America, and is an elected member of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population.
Andres Segovia, Noled Guitarist, Next Blue And White Performer
“ There is no silence like a. Segovia silence. In that silence a cough is an explosion.” This description by Louis Bi- ancolli o f the New Y ork W orld-Tele- gram and Sun pertains to the audiences of Andres Segovia, world famous guitarist, as he appeared in New York, London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and other capitols of the world. The silence of the Segovia audience has become unique and legendary.
On Feb. 11, at 8 :00 p.m., this master of the Spanish guitar will be presented on the New Hampshire Hall stage by S. Hurok, through the courtesy o f the Blue and White Series.
Mr. Segovia has won a distinguished place for the guitar in the world’s concert halls. H e has recently returned from his annual European tour. Last season in London, he performed the world premiere o f a new concerto for guitar and orchestra, written for and dedicated to Segovia by the famous Brazilian . composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos. He was accompanied by Sir John Barbirolli and the Halle Orchestra.
Andre Segovia looks like the typical Romnantic. He is tall and long-haired He wears dark rimmed glasses and a soft collared shirt with a black ribbon tie. He speaks in a softly modulated voice bearing a strong Spanish accent. As a youth he was often compared to Rodolfo, the painter in “ La Boheme.” Segovia was born in Linares, a village in Southern
‘V i M' LA
Andres SegoviaSpain near Granada. H e specialized in the guitar at the Granada Musical Institute, and at the age o f fourteen made his debut as a recitalist and guitar v ir tuoso. Even at this tender age he was well on the way towards achieving the title o f the world’s greatest guitarist.
This spring Mr. Segovia will celebrate the 29th anniversary of his first concert in the United States. “ America has accepted with enthusiasm the little guitar,’ he says, but sometimes I think it is an interesting contrast; such a small instrument and such a large country.”

Explain Motivations Behind Book Auctions
W hat lies behind the book auctions which are held at the Hamilton Smith Library at the average rate of one per month ? The purpose of these auctions is to decrease the number of books which will have to be transferred to the new building on its completion.
Books which have been donated to the library and are found to be not absolutely necessary to the library are put up for auction. The proceeds go toward the purchase of new books which are needed.
Three factors are considered in the selection or rejection of the second-hand copies; if the book is not already in the library’s collection, it is added; if the new copy is in better condition than the old, they are exchanged; and if the book is in heavy demand, it is held that time when another copy is needed.
A record is kept of each donor’s name and of how much money each book is sold for. When enough money comes in from that source, the donor’s name is put on the bookplate.
Each auction usually brings in a total of fifty or sixty_ dollars, and when a set o f encyclopedias is up for sale, the total is naturally more.

Possibilities Exist For New Post Office In Durham Shortly
by Anne BarbeauQuite a stir is being caused among
the residents of Durham by the news o f a new post-office building to be situated at the corner o f Madbury Road and Main Street.
T he post-office personnel, interestingly enough, are skeptical about the whole thing. T he com plaint is that the lot on M adbury and Main was bought about fifteen years ago and that since then there has been only a lot o f talk.
Mr. Richard W . Daland, the ow ner o f the building where the post-office is presently located, is equally skeptical. H is “ wait and see” attitude is the result o f having been forewarned too many times in past years about this same occurrence.
Great NeedH ow ever, no one denies that there
is a great need for the new post-office. W ith practically the same amount of space as in 1923 when it first gave service to about 2500 people, the post- office today is used by at least 6,000 students and residents in Durham.
In spite o f the disbelief already mentioned, it may be asserted for tw o reasons that Durham ’s new post-office will certainly be built in the near future.
First o f all, the designs for the two- story, fireproof structure have already been sent to W ashington, D. C., where they will receive a final check-up before the bidding begins — possibly next month.
Modified ColonialMr. Irving W . H ersey, the local ar
chitect responsible for these designs, describes the future -post-office as a “ m odified colonial, flat-roofed building” , with a construction cost estimated at $354,000.
It is a mistake to make reference to a new post-office building. Actually, as Mr. H ersey explained, it will be a governm ent building giving space to the Soil Conservation Service and the Agricultural Conservation Program as well as to the post-office.
Another argument against the said disbelief has been advanced by Mr. Hersey. It now seems that not on ly are the building designs in W ashington but that their com ing to life does not depend on congressional appropriations.
Contractor’s ExpenseThis startling fact was explained
further by Mr. Allan J. Collins, a Soil Conservationist. The contractor w hose bid is accepted will undertake to build at his own expense, and then lease the place to the governm ent agencies w ho will occupy it.
Over a period of years, the contractor will realize the profit (5 or 5% percent) agreed upon in the contract, and then the building will become government property. It is like buying a home on a mortgage plan except that the government owns the land from the start.
Only two persons will not benefit from a new building on Madbury and Main. These are Mr. Daland and Mr. Forrest H. Smart. The latter owns the house where_ the Soil and Agricultural Conservation Services have been located for the past eleven years, that is, since they left University grounds.

Station BreaksMike and Dial Radio
Much has been happening at W M D R . T o start the new year off with a bang, W M D R has added two new programs to their schedule. The first of these programs is a musical series for the Navy entitled “ Music on Deck.” It made its debut on Mike and Dial on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 9:15 p.m. The other new addition to the W M D R schedule will be a musical series for the A ir Force entitled “ Manhatten Melodies,” which will be heard for the first time Friday at 9:15 p.m.
Both of these programs are of fifteen minute length and feature well known popular and jazz artists.
In one of my columns of the past year, it was mentioned that a former Mike and Dial member, Don Pomeroy, had finished the prototype of a transmitter. He has been conducting performance tests on the transmitter, and, to date, the apparatus has performed satisfactorily. The next ,step will be made by W M D R Chief Engineer, Karl Black. He will have to test the transmitter on campus by attaching it to the power supply of a group of buildings and then listening to the signal quality throughout the buildings. If the results are satisfactory, then the needed number of transmitters will be produced and installed throughout the campus as soon as possible.
Evidently, Mike and Dial’s Engineering Department has done a commendable job of choosing its equipment for its new

My Three Angels Production Begins
Rehearsals are now in progress for the latest Town and Gown production, M y Three Angels, which will be presented, Feb. 28 and March 1, in the Oyster River Auditorium.
M y' Three Angels, a comedy in three acts, was written by Sam and Bella Spe- wack, who have written several other successful Broadway productions, among which are Boy M eets Girl and Two Blind Mice. The setting for this fantasy-type play is French Guiana in the year 1910.
Director o f the Durham presentation is Annette Schroeder. A former W ac in W orld W ar II, Miss Schroeder has several years theatre experience to her credit. She began acting in Arm y productions and continued her career as a member of the M ilford and the Stafford Players in Connecticut.
Further experience, was gained with the Community Theatre in New Haven. Her local efforts have been with the Garrison Players in Dover. W hile a student at the University she was a member of Mask and Dagger.
Several other citizens of Durham as well as University students will take parts in the latest play given by Town and Gown which counts Harvey and Double D oor among its recent successful productions.

ircraft
in the field of Aerodynam ics
Although each successive chapter in the history of aircraft engines has assigned new and greater importance to the problems of aerodynamics, perhaps the most significant developments came with the dawn of the jet age. Today, aerodynamics is one of the primary factors influencing design and performance of an aircraft powerplant. It follows, then, that Pratt & Whitney Aircraft — world’s foremost designer and builder of aircraft engines — is as active in the broad field of aerodynamics as any such company could be.
Although the work is demanding, by its very nature it offers virtually unlimited opportunity for the aerodyna- micist at P&WA. He deals with airflow conditions in the inlet, compressor, burner, turbine and afterburner — utilizing, in the course of development, many studies in cascade test rigs, subsonic or supersonic wind tunnels. From both the theoretical and applied viewpoints, he is engrossed in the problems
of perfect, viscous and compressible flow. Problems concerning boundary layers, diffusion, transonic flow, shock waves, jet and wake phenomena, airfoil theory, flutter and stall propagation — all must be attacked through profound theoretical and detailed experimental processes. Some of the most complex problems in the entire field of aerodynamics are encountered in the design of a multi-stage, axial-flow compressor; and it is the work of the aerodynami- cist, for example, that ultimately determines those aspects of blade and total rotor design which are crucial.
Adding greatly to the challenge is this fact: the engines developed must ultimately perform in varieties of aircraft ranging from supersonic fighters to intercontinental bombers and transports, functioning throughout a wide range of operational conditions for each type. Moreover, since every aircraft is literally designed around a powerplant, the aerodynamicist must
project his thinking in such a way as to anticipate the timely application of tomorrow’s engines to tomorrow’s airframes. At the service of P&W A aero- d y n a m ic ists is one of in d u s tr y ’ s foremost computing laboratories where modern computers accelerate both the analysis and the solution of aerodynamic problems, some of which include studies of airplane performance that permit evaluation of engine-to-airframe applications. In the Willgoos Turbine Laboratory, special high-altitude test chambers permit study of performance problems which may be encountered during later development stages.
Aerodynamics, of course, is only one part of a broadly diversified engineering program at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. That program — with other far-reaching activities in the fields of combustion, instrumentation, materials problems and mechanical design — spells out a gratifying future for many of today’s engineering students.

New Union ProblemsA t least one individual we know of has had the misfortune of
being served coffee-to-go in a wax-lined container by an untrained counterman at the Union’s snack bar. But if we know such an unfortunate person, we also know — not personally, to be sure — many more fortunate individuals who will not have this problem because the first person did something about the disservice.
That many organization, administrative and other problems will arise in a new building of the size and scope of the Memorial Union is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Curtis, its director, will not deny this, that is the reason he is grateful that our unfortunate friend did not sit in some college buli-session bemoaning his fate and crusing people for their inaptness. Mr. Curtis is thankful that at least one individual had the good sense to come to the right place in order to do some thing constructive about the problem.
The MemoHal Union Building newness and novelty has worn down considerably and the day to day routines of administering the various parts of its operation have been settled into. W ith the administrative staff of the Building, as well as with the Building’s users, the whole operation is something very new and perhaps very much different from other similar operations. Consequently it is not unreasonable to expect that problems, different ones all the time, will occur periodically until the building is “broken in” and the people who use it get used to the “ standard operating procedures (assuming, of course, that these SO P’s are the best of all possible SO P’s).
But in the meantime, before anyone can see that the perfect operational procedures and methods have been found, the students who use the building will from time to time come across things which are just not being done as well as possible. W ith such legitimate gripe, there is no one to see other than Mr. Curtis, the Union’s director, in order to suggest a new method, or even at the very least, to just criticize a present method.
That Mr. Curtis is forever willing to sit down with any student to hear his view, good or bad, on the operation of the Union, he has assured as strongly again and again. If students would only come to him with the grips and suggestions and not waste these on eager, yet ineffectual bull sessions, perhaps many improvements could be made. Unfortunately, however, there are too many students on campus who are just afraid to speak up.
Students may feel afraid to approach Mr. Curtis with their criticisms and we feel this is an unwarranted attitude. Students may feel that he is “ busy” and will not see them. This too we feel is unwarranted and we will go so far — without consulting Mr. Curtis on this — as to guarantee to every student with a legitimate — and more often than not, arbitrary — complaint that Mr. Curtis will see them, and hear what they have to say and act immediately if the,problem calls for such prompt attention.
Mr. Curtis cannot be at every point of every operation to see the flaws, although he and his staff can spot many of them. But the students who use the building are the ones who run into the problems. Unless they want to be continual complainers their only course of action can be to go to the proper source — Mr. Curtis.
The Tarnished Angels’ from Faulkner
The Story So Far:
Burke Devlin, ne’er-do-well New Orleans ..newspaperman, ..becomes involved in the lives of a strange trio — Roger Shumann, ex-war Ace, his mechanic, Jiggs, and Roger’s beautiful wife, Laverne — when he breaks up 'a fight between Jack, the Shumann’s nine-year-old son and an adult who taunts the boy with: “W ho’s your old man today, kid?” Burke befriends the trio, offering his apartment to sleep in so they may be fresh for the next day’s air show in which Roger
Part I I
will race and Laverne will display her skill as a parachute jumper. From Laverne, who fascinates him, Burke learns that she trailed Roger around the air show circuit when she was but sixteen. Later, when she became pregnant, the mechanic, Jiggs, and Roger rolled the dice to determine who would marry her. Roger won. When, on the following day, Burke wants to return to the airport to cover the races and to see Laverne again, his city editor orders him to cover another story. H e refuses and is fired.
The Sound And The FuryLast Saturday night at the basketball game we witnessed a dis
heartening debacle of poor sportsmanship. It was in such poor taste that the remark was passed that someone should apologize to the opposing team for the actions of the spectators who persisted in being obnoxious.
Strong partisan feelings are hard to control but continued booing and catcalling will do little to urge a team to victory. All this energy could be diverted to a more useful area such as participation in organized cheering which, incidentally, was conspicuous by its absence at the game.
W e do nof want to wish the team ill luck, but it does seem to us that fans of the aforementioned calibre do not deserve to have a winning team.
To Be Is To Be LovedBy R O N L A W T O N
Life is not a challenge; but one long caress from God.
To be wrapped in night or clothed in death — these, too, are from the hands and lips of God.
Even as mankind can thrill their bodies with each other’s touch,
So does GOD thrill the souls of all W ho are touched by the wind, or warmed by the sun,
or bathed in the music of sound.Look unto the tree-tops, at the pores of your own skin, N
at the light in another’s eyes, into the small world
Within a glistening drop of dew. Watch the path of a hawk
lazy against the blue silence.Hear the thunder, the meadowlark, the falling of leaves,
the gentle laughter of a brook, the cry of a lamb, the crackling of a fire.
Feel the ground at your feet, the wind in your hair,
a cool splashing on your hand, or even the gentlest touch
of a snowflake blushing your cheek.Can you feel the rustle of your own soul,
and the souls of other men?Can you feel the same kind of fire that burns in a lover —
is it not even a greater and more gentle love than you could make with men?
It is the love-making of your soul with GOD that you feel.
The same love that the sparrow makes with the cedar,
the worm with the earth, the child with the mother.
The measure of G O D ’S love is the measure of all life
and death, and all the greatness therein.

Sunday and Monday Silk Stockings starring Fred Astair,
Cyd Charisse, and Janis Page in cinemascope and color. The story pokes fun at the Russian way of life and guarantees chuckles throughout, taking place in Paris with music and dancing in a total o f 13 musical numbers. It is based on the Broadway success of the same name. This is the musical version of M G M ’s hit movie in 1939, Ninotchka with Greta Garbo. This flic provides light entertainment at the family level with romance, singing, and easy plot. 2.8
Tuesday and Wednesday The Tin Star. Another western —
different group with a different plot. Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins, together with 20 other stars, under the direction o f Anthony Mann get together to show you sheriffing at its best plus lynching mobs, heroes, villains, single- handed combat, double-handed romance, and under-handed friendships. This is a good, relaxing flic for “ light o f the world” college audiences and I conservatively venture a rating of 2.6.
ThursdayThe Big Sky. The stars: Kirk Doug
las, Dewey Martin, Elizabeth Threat and eleven others. Producer: Howard Hawks. The story is based on the novel, The Big Sky, writen by A . B. Guthrie Jr. and which won the Pulitzer Prize. It’s about adventure, and romance with pioneers braving the Northwest wilderness and hostile Indians around 1830. The Missouri River is the center of attraction in this saga. Associate producer, Dimitri
Tionkins, who is famous for his back ground music in High Noon, and The High and the Mighty. You probably remember this from a few years back. It’s a repeat and has a heartwarming and emotional force. On location while filming, Douglas lived in an improvised camp with 165 studio technicians and 100 Crow Indians at the foot o f the Grand Teton mountains, an area noted for its high altitude and low temperatures. After six weeks of working, waist-deep in water, slogging through forests and marshes, and helping maneuver the unwieldy keelboat up the treacherous currents o f Snake River, Douglas gained a new respect for the feats of the men won the West. This one deserves a 3.2.
Friday and SaturdayBeau James. Some “ad lines” describ
ing this flic are: The story of Jimmy Walker, man and mayor, can be told at least, one of the most colorful humans in history brought to the screen at last. The story deals with the life and times of New York ’s controversial romantic mayor, Jimmy Walker, as played by Bob Hope. In it are accounts of his romance with Vera Miles (as a married entertainer in a night club), and how he resigned to< get his political pals off the hook during the Seabury Investigation. Hope does very well and brings to life the values, romance, problems, and humor in this Jack Rose production. It’s based on the book by Gene Fowler, you may have read it. Vera Miles, Paul Douglas George Jessel and many others supplement the cast and these names added to Bob Hope’s demands a 3.0.
_ Thousands o f spectators lined the airstrip the next day, waiting for the air show to begin. A bove in the clear blue sky, a lone biplane circled the field, the sound of its engine lost in the strident cry of the calliope.
Y oun g Jack Shumann sat on a w ood en bench happily devouring an ice cream cone. H e never noticed Burke Devlin ’s approach.
“ H i,” Burke said.“ H i.”“ W h ere ’s your father?”T he boy jerked a thumb over his
shoulder, indicating that R oger was in the hanger.
“ Y our m other with him ?” Burke asked. Jack’s outstretched arm pointed skyward in answer. Burke squinted up at the slow -m oving biplane. A t that moment, the public address system blared out:
“ Ladies and gentlemen- Y our attention, please. A special added attraction! A delayed parachute jum p! Featuring that distaff. . . Laverne Shumann!
Flabbergasted, Burke watched. L averne climbed out on to the w ing o f the plane, her parachute harnessed over a thin white summer dress. Suddenly she was tumbling through space in a free fall. A fter she had dropped a thousand feet, she yanked the ripcord. Burke stopped breathing. The chute opened and Burke sighed his relief. A s she floated earthward, her skirt billow ed up past her thighs and the crow d roared its approval.
O ff to one side of the field, betw een the tw o racing planes that were his, stood Matt Ord, eagerly watching. T he wealthy sportsman had often watched Laverne, adm iring her every curve, her every feature, wishing. . . yet knowing the wish was far from being fact. F or Matt Ord and the Shumann’s were enemies. But that in no way dampened Matt O rd ’s ardor for Laverne, or put an end to his wishing. . . or his dreaming. Frank Burnham, Matt O rd ’s young pilot, touched his em ployer’s arm.
“ That is quite a w om an,” he said admiringly, articulating the thoughts o f the burly manufacturer.
Ord scowled. “ N ever mind that. H er husband is quite a pilot, and he is your concern. I want you to beat him in the race.”
Burnham smiled cockily. “ Y ou can bet on it.”
Ord nodded grimly. “ Okay. Y ou beat him, that’s all I want.”
Then it was time for the race. The announcer called the planes to the starting line. Colonel Fineman held the starting flag aloft. A ll eyes were glued to him. The flag dropped. W ith a roar like that of an approaching storm, the hopped-up engines turned over, the planes began to m ove, and a turbulence stirred up a veil o f dust. The spectators loosed a cry of delight at the start o f action.
A s soon as the planes were airborne, it became evident that Matt O rd ’s craft, pilotel by Frank Burnham, was the one with the greatest speed. Burnham surged out in front and looked as if he would stay there. R oger managed to get in behind him but could not gain on the sleek racer. Aw are that he must substitute flying skill for sheer speed, R oger began to cut the pylons, to bank his plane so sharply and so close to the course markers that it seemed he surely must hit them. Slow ly Burnham’s lead narrowed. The crow d roared.
On the field, a tense Burke Devlin, turned to Jiggs. -‘ Can he catch Burnham ?”
“ H e will! Even if he has to kiss thepy lons!”
A t that retort, Laverne’s lovely face darkened and her eyes turned skyward again'. And up there, as if keying his action to Jiggs’ com m ent, R oger banked his plane steeply into a turn so that his wing tip barely missed the pylon. The crow d gasped, then relaxed as the war ace righted his ship and sped onward.
Three laps from the end, R oger had gained the inside track and victory appeared to be riding with him. Burnham must have sensed it for he tried to swing his ship inside, cutting in front of R oger. Disaster struck quickly. Burnham ’s wing veered too far to the left, and before either he or R oger could act, the prop of Shumann’s plane had sliced the wing in tw o. For an instant they hung there, the two stricken machines. A gasp of apprehension rose up from the crow d below as Burnham’s plane plum m eted earthward, striking, and instantly bursting into flames. F or Burnham, there could be no escaDe.

Eddy Cites Schools7 Need To Challenge The Student
“ The tendency in American education at all levels to coax and coddle students has diverted us from the main purpose of learning” . Dr. Edward D. Eddy Jr. said in a recent speech, “ Schools and colleges should be challenging the _ student to perform to his outer limits rather than merely adjust to the life around him.”
In an address at the dedication of the new Marlboro High School, Dr. Eddy stated that “ It is by honest, hard intellectual endeavor that a student of any age comes to respect integrity in thought and action.” “ This is the principal value which the American people should seek to transmit through their school,” he added. “ All else is o f secondary importance.”
Dr. Eddy concluded, “ W e should stand fast and not allow the schools to be diverted into lesser tasks. Students need first to know how to think before they learn how to drive. The schools must concentrate on the mind and leave to other community agencies such extras as alcohol education and driver training.”
Colloidal Chemistry Contest Announced; Money Prizes
An annual contest in colloid and surface chemistry am ong college undergraduates has been announced by the University of Southern California. Students of chemistry and chemical engineering in a ll accredited colleges and universities in the United States and Canada are eligible if they are full-time undergraduates on April 1.
A 500 w ord report on research con ducted by the contestant in the fields of colloid and surface chem istry or an essay on “ Radioactive Isotopes in Colloid and Surface Chemistry” may be submitted for a $500 first prize, $200 second prize, $100 third prize, or honorable mention prizes of $50. In addition an excellence prize of $500 may also be awarded to the best entry if it satisfies exceptionally high standards.
Entry blanks may be obtained immediately from Prof. K. J. Mysels at the U niversity of Southern California, Los Angeles 7, Calif. Awards will be announced and distributed by anonymous judges by Sept. 2.
If you have a gripe against social restrictions on campus, how would you like to trade places with Y ong-youpa- luck Kasem sant o f Bangkok, Thailand? In her country, it is the parents w ho arrange m ost dates. . . well, they try. “ Sometimes it doesn’t w ork !” she laughs.
H er unusual name, which is Sanskrit in origin, long ago gave way to the pert nickname of “ Lek,” which means “ youngest” . . . “ and I am the youngest in m y fam ily.” She has an elder brother now in the air force.
A mem ber o f Thailand’s royal family, Lek is a princess in this w ay: “ It is hard for me to explain, but the greatgrandfather of the present king and m y great-grandfather were the same man.”
W ill Study ElsewhereU nofficially a senior here on a Stu
dent Exchange Program Scholarship, Lek has spent the past three years at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. She will study at tw o other A m erican universities before returning to Thailand, probably in 1960.
Pretty, petite Lek speaks excellent English with a delightful accent. A lthough she has been studying our language for the past ten years, Lek feels that she has learned the m ost about it since com ing to the University in September.
A seasoned traveler for her mere twenty years, Lek has a first-hand acquaintance with Cambodia, Viet-nam , H on g K ong, Singapore, and Japan. In this country, she has visited San Francisco, N ew Y ork City, W ashington, D. C., and R hode Island, as well as parts of N ew Hampshire.
Cities Similar
She finds our large cities very sim ilar to those of Thailand, but with this difference: although “ living standards” in Am erican cities and small towns are essentially the same, in Thailand this is not the case. There, people residing outside the cities have a noticeably low er living standard than the city-dw el- lers.
A lthough she som etim es longs for a taste of her native dishes, Lek has com e to en joy Am erican meals. “ Y our food is so rich-” she exclaims. She eats her meals at a different jorority house every two weeks.
In the little spare tim e she has, Lek enjoys taking pictures of campus sights and activities. She is very fond o f basketball and bow ling, and finds little difference between the sports o f Thailand and Am erica.
Likes Teaching Methods
She likes our teaching m ethods and the small classes, because “ the professors have more time . . . are interested in everyone.” A governm ent major, Lek will transfer her credits back to the Chulalongkorn U niversity upon her return, and later plans to teach there.
V ery hom esick during her first month here, Lek is now well settled and at ease. “ E verybody is so nice; everybody is so friendly!”

R oger ’s plane fell, too, hitting hard, bouncing, smashing its engine into the ground. Though dazed, R oger som eh ow managed to clamber from the cockpit, to stagger away from the ship. W ith glazed eyes, he stared off toward Frank Burnham’s w recked funeral pyre.
T hey all came rushing across the field, now, despite the announcer’s cries to keep the strip clear. There was Matt Ord, his fleshy face a grotesque caricature contorted by horror, lum bering to reach the burning plane to save his young pilot. There was Burke Devlin and Laverne, Jiggs and Jack, heading for R oger, straining to run faster, gasping for breath.
A s she reached her husband, Laverne threw her arms about him with a kind of frantic desperation, as if holding him would make everything all right. R oger did not see her, nor feel her, nor could she make him aware o f her presence. H e stared num bly at his wrecked plane, able in his shock to think on ly o f the next day’s races.
“ I must fly,” came the "^cho in his brain. “ I must fly. I must.”
That night, in the darkness o f a hanger, R oger and Jiggs m oved cautiously toward D iam ond Blade N o. I, a sleek red aircraft with the forward thrust o f a racer. A flashlight beam played over the plane.
“ Beautiful,” R oger said. “ Even if Matt Ord does ow n it.”
“ Yeah,” replied Jiggs. -‘Beautiful like a laid out corpse. One m ore plane to kill one m ore pilot.”
“ Shut up,” R oger said. “ Take a look. See if you can fix her up.”
Jiggs turned his attention to the engine.
“ W h at’s the score?” R oger said. “ Y ou struck out.”“ W h at’s w rong with it?”“ The electrical system. . . it ’s on the
blink.”“ It can be fixel, can ’t it?” ‘ ‘Som ebody tried. . . and failed.” “ Answ er m e,” R oger demanded. “ There ’s no time.”R oger thought for a m om ent
“ There ’s sixteen hours till starting time tom orrow .”

College Does Not Change Values For Majority
Ed. note. The following is an abstract from a paper presented at the Twelfth National Conference on Higher Education on March 5, 1957 by Philip E. Jacobs, Director of College Collateral Courses and Summer School, University of Pennsylvania.
W H A T W I L L BE T H E IM P L IC A T IO N S FO R T H E C O L LE G E S A N D U N IV E R S IT IE S OF T H E C H A N G IN G P A T T E R N S IN S T U D E N T V A L U E S ?
From a study of three main types of data (surveys of Student attitudes over the past fifteen years, evaluation of the impact of general education, and evaluations of various methods of teaching) indicate that either Colleges and Universities lack the capacity to influence students, or students are incapable of being influenced by higher education.
Here are some of the relevant findings concerning contemporary student values and the impact of college on them :
The values of American college students are remarkably homogeneous, and in many ways appear quite different from earlier generations.
A dominant characteristic of the current student generation is that they are gloriously contented both in regard to their present day-to-day activity and their outlook for the future. The great ma jority of students appear unabashedly self-centered. They aspire for material gratifications for themselves and their families. They in tend to look out for themselves first and expect others to do likewise. Students fully accept the conventions of the contemporary business society as the context within which they will realize their personal desires. Conformists themselves, the American students see little need to insist that each and every person conform to the socially accepted standard, having developed an easy tolerance of the dissident and the different. However, they do not intend to crusade for nondiscrimination, but will accept it as it comes.
Students normally express a need for religion, but there is a “ghostly quality” about their beliefs, since their religion does not carry over to guide and govern important decisions in the secular. One hour a week in church suffices.
In the pursuit of education, students by and large set great stock by college in general and their own college in particular. Only a minority seem to value their college education primarily in terms of its intellectual contribution, or its nurturing of personal character and the capacity for responsible human relationships. Vocational preparation, and skill and experience in social “ adjustment” head the rewards which students crave from their higher education.
For the most part, the values and outlook of students do not vary greatly whether they have pursued the conventional liberal arts program, an integrated general education curriculum or one of the strictly professional-vocational options.
Equally disturbing is evidence that the quality of teaching has relatively little effect upon the value — outcomes of general education — in the social sciences or in other fields — so far as the great mass of students is concerned.
The personality, skill and devotion of teachers to their students and their subjects varies tremendously within and among institutions. So did their personal and educational philosophies, the intensity of their value commitments, and the degree to which they deliberately pursue value — goals in class and outside. Students, for their part, have demonstrated a capacity for shrewdly evaluating the performance of instructors and they choose worthy criteria in distinguishing the good from the poor teacher. They particularly value the teacher who couples high respect for the students as persons, with a capacity to arouse interest in his subject.
The solidification of a student’s pattern of values depends largely upon his finding a group of “ kindred spirits” with whom he can identify himself. This is particularly necessary if his values deviate greatly from the conventional outlook on the campus or from those accepted by his family and friends at home. Without such anchorage, the pressures on the individual to conform to the general standards are likely to overwhelm whatever influences towards fresh and self- determined value judgments may have arisen from his education.
Unfortunately, many of the customary extra-curricular groups in college are hospitable only to the conventionally oriented, and powerfully resist any fundamental changes or deviations in values.
The faculty for their part are handicapped in helping students at this point, because it is important that the group be a really kindred one — of fellow-students without hurdles of status or age differences to get in the way of their intimacy.
Student values do change to some extent in college. W ith some students, the change is substantial. But the impetus to change does not come primarily from the formal educational process. Potency to affect student values is found in the distinctive climate of a few institutions, the individual or personal magnetism of a sensitive teacher with strong value-commitments of his own, or value-laden personal experiences of students imaginatively integrated with their intellectual development.

Toto Given Award By Touchdown Club
Tony Toto, from Old Bridge, N. J., the greatest ground-gaining halfback in the University of Delaware’s football history has received the Wilmington, Del., Touchdown Club Annual Award as the outstanding senior.
In a second citation, Joe Harvanik, from Linden, N. J., Blue Hen captain during the past year, received the Taylor Memorial Trophy as the senior player who, throughout his footbaU career, has made the greatest contribution to team morale.
The occasion was the 12th annual banquet of the club last Thursday at which the members of the Delaware football team and their coaches were guests. Principal speaker was Don Miller of Notre Dame’s famed Four Horsemen.
Toto, the victim of a hand injury which kept him out of the first two games _ of the season, came back in the remaining five games to set a new Delaware individual season rushing record of 715 yards. H e carried the ball just 84 times. Toto

The U N H Wildcat basketball team has, to date, played nine hoop contests, and in each one of these games, at least those that hve been played on the Lewis Field House courts, the officiating has been, to say the least, not too good.
Two particular games stand out vividly in our memory in which the refereeing was the poorest we have ever seen at a college basketball game. The first game, several weeks ago, with the U n i versity o f Connecticut, was so dominated by the whistle-tooting of the officials that the spectators on hand must have thought that they were in the middle of Times Square during a New Year’s Eve celebration. The officials, we forget who they were, but from the exhibition they put on they could have been Hum and Strum or Frick and Frack, continuously dominated a comparatively well-played and action- packed game with their niercing whistles.There must have been at least forty or forty-five fouls called during the course
of the game. Many o f these violations were of the minor variety, such as one player slapping another on the arm during a rebound scramble. Many of the flagrant violations, such as hipping or elbowing, were missed entirely.
If a television playwrite turned sports writer for one night and had the assignment of covering this particular game, he would probably have written the account of the game something like this:
The Script T itle : “ The Men in the Grey-striped
Suit,” or “ Whistle W hile You W ork .”
Scene: Lewis Field House Characters: Rodney Referee and Julius
Umpire. Subordinate characters: The basketball teams of U N H and UConn.
Every script should have a sponsor, so the sponsor of this show could be W ill’s Whistlery, The Makers o f the Whistles that just won’t quit.
The players on the court were definitely subordinated to a minor role as the officials stole the show with their whistle exhibitions, despite the fact that the fans did not come to see the officials, but the two teams.

Dick Ericson vies with an unidentified Northeastern University player for a rebound in action during the U N H Wildcats and the Northeastern game last week at the Lewis Field House courts. The Wildcats, coached by Bill Olson, defeated Northeastern for their fourth win of the campaign. Pete Smilikis stands by ready to help Ericson in controlling the boards. The Wildcats have already won five games this season, including victories over St. Anslems and a strong Vermont University five. (Purdyphoto)
YOUR INTERESTS, SPECIAL ABILITIES ARE IMPORTANT WHEN DU PONT MAKES YOUR FIRST JOB ASSIGNMENT
■"l
ROOM TO GROWThere’s plenty of room to grow at DuPont. One reason is that the very diversity of our products and processes requires specialists in almost every area of science and engineering. Another reason is that DuPont continues to expand in many new directions.
For example, in 1957 sales reached $2 billion. Four new plants were being built. New research projects were launched, new products marketed.
In 1957, too, new technical men joined DuPont in chemical, civil, mechanical, metallurgical, electrical, industrial, petroleum
byE. H. Cox
D u P o n t R e p re s e n ta tiv e
and mining engineering; in atomic energy, instrumentation, chemistry, physics, mathematics and many other fields.
All this activity points to as bright a future today as ever before in our long history. There’s a place for the good graduate in this picture. If you would like more specific information on opportunities at Du Pont, we invite you to sign up for a Du Pont interview with your placement director.
DU PONT SUMMER JOB GIVES YOU A CHANCE TU EARN ANU LEARNDu Pont offers college juniors and qualified sophomores in technical fields the opportunity to earn college expense money this, summer while they learn more about the kind of work that will be open to them when they graduate.
The Company has 75 plants and 98 laboratories located across 26 states —a spread that often gives the student a chance to work in or near his own section of the country. Some of these locations have openings for summer employment in 1958.
Students work side by side with practicing engineers and scientists. In this way they gain valuable experience to supplement classroom theory.
Last year, 407 students from 113 colleges took advantage of this program. Du Pont pays round-trip transportation expenses from home or school to place of employment. Students are not obligated to continue with the Company after graduation.
For complete details on this program, check with your college placement director.
SEND FOR INFORMATION BOOKLETBooklets on jobs at Du Pont are yours for the asking. Subjects include: m echanical, civil, metallurgical, chemical, electrical, instrumentation and industrial engineers; atomic energy, technical sales, business administration, research and development. Name the subject that interests you in letter to Du Pont, 2494 -E Nemours Building, Wilm ington 9 8 , Del.
Personalized Training Relates to Policy of Promotion from WithinWhere do your interests lie? What courses have you taken? What are your special abilities? Du Pont tries to match these factors with available jobs to determine your first job assignment within the Company.
Once the assignment is made, the Company helps you apply your knowledge to a problem right away. You learn by doing—in consultation with your supervisor and others working on various phases of the same project. Your performance on the job is evaluated periodically, so you always know where you stand in the eyes of your management.
As you might guess, Du Pont’s personalized training is closely related to its promotion policy. Almost all advancement L made from within the Company, so if your supervision has indicated that you are ready for promotion, and an opening occurs for which your training has prepared you, you are sure to be considered.
Although DuPont employs about90,000 people, management authority is decentralized through many departments into small groups—small enough so that the new man’s capabilities can be recognized quickly. This type of organization, plus the Company’s steady growth, produces many opportunities for the new man.
Du Pont, over the past 25 years, has spent $1 on research for every $3 on production facilities.

Varsity Hoopsters In Impressive Win
By Paul BoutilierW e derived inestimable pleasure from
viewing some o f the recent varsity basketball games, and we especially enjoyed watching the indidivdual performances of sophomore Bobby Hurst and senior Dick Ericson. In the U N H win over Northeastern on Jan. 6, Hurst, who stands only 5'10", poured in 26 points and Ericson tallied 20.
The Wildcats followed this with a 97- 85 victory over Vermont for their first Yankee Conference win, in which Hurst scored 28, Pete Davis, another sophomore, scored 27, and Ericson wound up with 24.
Although the Wildcats went down to defeat last Saturday night at the hands o f UMass, nevertheless we were delighted by the aggressive type o f defensive basketball played by the W ildcat trio of Hurst, Terry Parmenter, and Dick Lois- elle. In this, as in every game, Hurst constantly bothered the opposition with his pass interceptions. Parmenter and Loiselle were equally effective defensively.
Hurst has an exceptionally quick pair of hands, and he is always alert, always slapping at the ball, as is Parmenter and Loiselle. The agrressive, defensive type o f play that this trio consistently employs makes for exciting, “heads up” basketball, and is a real pleasure to watch.
To W hom It May ConcernW e would like to take this opportunity
to commend W M D R for broadcasting all the W ildcats’ home games. This is a fine gesture on the part of Mike and Dial Radio, especially considering the extremely poor lighting and seating facilities which has been designated foe the radio staff. Under the present conditions, the radio staff is forced to set up its apparatus on a narrow platform located high against one wall o f the Field House, and for a desk on which to rest their microohones, they must balance a board across their knees.
In this part of the building, the light is very poor, making it extremely difficult to read the material which the staff has before them. Another handicap is the netting which hangs across the ceiling — it is so low that it does not afford the announcer a clear view o f the score board.
All this inconvenience prompts us to ask “ W hy can’t the radio staff use the much-more conveniently located, well-

Last Saturday evening, the Wildcats entertained the University o f Massachusetts Redmen and the officials again stole the show. The referee and the impire allowed the game to get out of their control and consequently with all the diving for balls and charging violations the game resembled a football contest. The officials may have been doing the best they could but nevertheless, from a spectator’s standpoint, the officials let the contest get out of hand and play, on both sides, became wild and 'ragged.
U N H basketball is definitely college basketball and the officiating should be of the same quality. A t present, it is, in some cases, below college quality. There definitely should be constructive measures taken to improve the officiating at the U N H games. Perhaps the officials should be given “ peacemakers.” These are not guns, but whistles without noise- makers in them. A second suggestion would be to give the officials red handkerchiefs similar to the ones carried by football officials and they could drop them when they detected a violation. A t any rate, either one o f these plans would cut down the current,noise made by the whistle-tooting officials.
About all we can say at present concerning the multitude of whistles is, “ T oo piercing man” .
The U N H Wildcat hoop team, coached by Bill Olson, this year boasts a very improved club. Last year’s team won only three games and dropped sixteen, and already this year, with a squad composed chiefly o f sophomores and juniors, the record is five wins and four defeats. This is a hustling team that does not give up regardless of the score against them. A lready this year, they edged out St. Ans- lem’s, an eternal powerhouse in hoop circles, by a 67-66 score. They dropped their opening game of the year to Vermont, and just last week defeated Vermont on the Catamount’s home floor. This Vermont team is in second place in the Yankee Conference.
Four SophomoresCoach Olson has been building the
1957-58 Wildcats around Pete Davis and Pete Smilikis, two sophomores who possess great shooting ability and the height to get their share of rebounds, Bobby Hurst and Terry Parmenter, the back court pair who are valuable in the playmaking department for the W ildcats, and the only starting senior Dick Ericson whose fine one-hand jump shot has racked up a great deal of U N H points this season.
For bench strength, Olson has Dick Loiselle, a fine playmaker and driver, Doug Macey, another fine ball-handier and shooter, and George Reynolds, a great rebounder and hook-shooter, to name a few.
Congratulations to Coach Bill Olson and his 1957-58 U N H Wildcat hoopsters for their great rebuilding job.
More SpiritW ith Coach Olson rebuilding the
basketball team in such fine style, we wonder why there are so few U N H students at the games. Although the team has given the fans who have attended the home games some very thrilling moments and some top basketball, nevertheless there seems to be a lack o f spirit among the student body. Only a small fraction o f the students attend the games and those students that do attend the contests sit quietly and let the cheer
-leaders do all the cheering. Get behind the team, students. It makes a great deal o f difference to the players on the floor if they know that they have a spirited group of students backing them up. Imagine how the cheerleaders feel when they have to do all the hollering and •spirit-raising for the players. Support your team.
The Wildcats have dropped four games this season, but in none of them did they give up regardless of the score against them. Even in the Connecticut game, although they lost the game by somewhere in the neighborhood o f twenty-five or thirty points, they never quit trying. The UConn defeat was simply a case of five young, though sturdy oaks in a forest o f giant redwoods. The five young oaks held the redwoods even for the first half but in the second half the UConn height and experience told the story.
N ext week will be our last issue as sports editor of the New Hampshire and we feel that it is only fitting that we dedicate the entire sports page to the memory o f a great hockey player and a fine gentleman Roger Leclerc, who was killed in an automobile accident three days before Christmas.

constructed broadcasting area on the opposite side of the building?” If, for some valid reason this is impossible, then at least lights should be installed and the netting raised on the present broadcasting area. That’s the way it looks from here!
Salute to Cross-CountryThe cross-country events are over for
this season, and we would like to extend our thanks to both the Varsity and Freshman Cross-Country teams for representing U N H so well this season. In the New Englands, the varsity harriers, led by Bill Randle and John Rasmussen (both seniors), copped 5th place, while the freshmen, led by Doug MacGregor, placed second.
Hank Drabik, another strong runner, has been elected captain of next year’s varsity squad.
So here’s a hearty “ Merci Beaueoup” to A L L the members of both squads for their efforts this past season.
Freshman BasketballMarty Fischer tallied 19 points in a
recent 74-73 U N H victory over the Bates
Varsity Icemen WinThe U N H varsity hockey team,
coached by Pepper Martin, defeated the University of Massachusetts Redmen 6-3, last Saturday night in an encounter played at Amherst, Mass.
The Wildcats showed a great deal of power offensively as they slapped six goals past the Massachusetts goalie, Jack Kennedy, the U N H goalie made many brilliant saves to protect the U N H win.
The win gives the Wildcats a record thus far this season of four wins and a single loss, to a strong Tufts College squad.
U N H has a busy schedule this week as they go on the road for two contests, Tuesday and Friday, but return to the friendly confines o f the Batchelder Rink next Saturday night for a game with Bowdoin College.
Jayvees. Charlie Brodt (8 points) accounted for the win, however, by connecting on a free throw in the final seconds of the game. The next home game for the Wildcat Freshmen is on Jan. 25, at 6:15 versus St. Anselm’s. We’ll be watching with interest to see how Coach Andy Mooradian’s squad will fare against St. Anselm’s.
Bill Hazen, playing for the U N H Intramural All-Stars prepares to take a shot at the basket as an unidentified Clipper player tries to block it. The U N H Intramural All-Stars defeated the Clippers 38-36, thus pinning on the paraplegic veterans their first defeat in eight years of wheel chair basketball. Bobby Lepore sparked the winners with 14 points. The game was viewed by a good crowd who were highly entertained by the action on the floor. (Purdyphoto)

Experimental’ Boards At Memorial Union
In an effort to provide the faculty and student body with a m ore effective bulletin board system, the staff o f the M em orial Union has organized an experimental plan of notice-posting.
A ccord in g to this plan, the bulletin board in the main lobby will be used for notices about m ajor cam pus-wide events and the board on the upper floor (east) for M em orial U nion announcements. O n the main floor, the east board will be devoted to personal and food service notices, and the west board to Student Union notices as well as personal and food service notices. The bulletin boards on the low er floor will serve gam es announcem ents leagues,, tournaments, etc .), and Student Organizations notices on the east.
Mr. Staton Curtis, M em orial Union Director, suggests that “ personal notices be typed ol printed clearly on 3” x 5” cards and posted with four thumb tacks. F or your convenience, tacks and cards are available at the Recreation Desk and Games Counter.
It is further suggested by Mr. Curtis that posters be o f reasonable size in order to allow space on the board for other important announcem ents, also.
“ It will be helpful to all if you will rem ove your notice once it becom es obsolete.”
This plan is not an attempt to restrain or control material for notices; it is hoped that it will prove to be useful and convient. Student reactions and suggestions will be appreciated.

In his future job he dreams of a carpeted office, a resounding title, an acre of polished mahogany to sit behind.
