Mr VanVlissingen propos-ed that since Wendell Willkieis a successful business manhe be supported in his can-didacy for president of theUnited States which is a hugebusiness Furthermore busi-ness trusts and supportsWendell Willkie On theother hand business has notcooperated with the NewDeal Mr VanVlissingen asserted because Businessleaders disagree with thePresidents theories on depression And the businessleaders must be more intelli-gent than the President andhis professors of the Braintrust so business will support Wendell Willkie

Baube LecturesOn Twin Evils

Dr Baube the college phy-sician gave the most recentFreshman lecture TuesdayNovember 5 on the subject ofAlcohol and Tobacco Hepointed out several startlingfacts that should be of inter-est to not only the Freshmanclass but to the entire schoolas well

Alcohol Dr Baube statedmay be divided into three dis-tinct classes Fermented

Beer Port etc FruitJuices Wines etc and Dis-tillates Whiskey Gin etcThe use of alcohol as a foodis limited since 90 is absorbed by the body and onlyabout 10 bv the kidneysand skin Alcohol to be usedas a food must be brokendown in six to eight hoursand the amount usable totalsvnt fnnr tn six ounces Thesuperfluous amount goes to-wa rd nromotin intoxicationr

Another noticeable change

The first play of the Kenyon Dramatic Club season wasI Killed the Count by Alec Coppl was handld intelligently

an unusual success On the whole it left little to be desiredand with remarkable maturity Much more subtle than TheAmazing Dr Clitterhouse the play was much better re-ceived by the audience and obviously handled with moreartistry and discrimination by the cast

Though the plot of I Kill-ed the Count was capable ofbeing confusing to the audi-ence the cast handled it soskillfully that it was viewedwith unusual clarity by thespectators

Letters to the EditorElmira Colle

October 29 iqMr R Donald McClearyEditorinCh- ief

Kenyon CollegianGambier OhioDear Mr McCleary

As a former member of tbDepartment of EnglishKenyon College and lon anadmirer of Kenyon Collegemay I congratulate you oiyour leading editorial in theKenyon Collegian of October

tion the committee to make certain suggested changes whichwe think are equitable and justified In the interum we shallcontinue the pros and cons of a change in this column

In the first place we are not suggesting radical or unwar-ranted changes We do not believe that everyone in the col-lege should have unlimited cutting privileges Such a systemwould obviously defeat itself and the present system protectsmany men against themselves What we propose is a revi-sion of the rule to permit men with a two average to have un-

limited cutting privileges It seems rather ridiculous to pen-alize the above average student for over- cutting when he canover- cut and still make the merit list We are thinking par-ticularly of people like Walter Elder who though he gets amerit list average loses credit hours for over- cutting Itdoesnt make sense Is there any reason to penalize a personfor not coming to class if he can get his work despite his reluctance to attend class The average lecture class is gearedto the capabilities of the average student which is as itshould be But we see no reason wny tne aoove average stu-dent shouldnt be free to pursue his intellectual activities ashe sees fit and at his own speed so long as he can continue todo his work on the merit list level

What is more classes interfere with the intellectual ac-tivities of the capable student in many instances There isno apparent reason why a student who has assimilated hiswork should be compelled to sit through a lecture whichmerely re- hashes an assignment for the benefit of the studentwho hasnt grasped this work We feel that this hour couldbe spent more profitably by the above average student in

We wandered over SouthLeonard way the other even-ing where we arrived just intime to see Mr Charles At-las Bowen give a demonstra-tion of a few of his feats ofstrength as he nonchalantlyhurled a chair over and abouthis head Mr John Albachfollowed the master to theplatform but we regret tosay that Mr A was not quiteso successful Mr A attri-buted his failure to his having missed his daily bowl ofWheaties that morning

AdvtWhile Mr Nick Riviere was

working last week on obtain-ing on his car one of the flatfront ends so fashionable onthe 1941 models he made adiscovery which we believewill be of inestimable value tonational defense It is theRiviere Rivetless Tank- Trapand consists simply of a barbed-wire fence and a field ofcorn As Mr R explained itto usthe latter camouflagesthe former and he solemnlyassured us that it is the mosteffective thing that hes runup against in all his defensework

Ho- hum Dept DenisonDivision For the most peev-ed man of the week we nom-inate Mr John Claypool ofWest Wing who when welast saw him was just finish-ing the biting in two of hisseventeenth ten- penny nailThe story so we are told goessomething like this Mr Chad a date with a Denison girllast week- end which resultedin his parting with severalbits of folding money Camethe hour of parting and MrC who was very much at-tracted broached the subjectof a good- night kiss No soapMr C asked why The girl re-plied that she was afraid thatit might get back to anotherKenyon man The pay- off isthat the second Kenyonite hasnever had more than the priceof a coke to spend on the galsince hes known her So thestory goes

And among the reallyworthwhile accomplishmentsthat we ve heard of Mr Rob-ert Pringles gifted and impressionistic imitation of acigarette being thrown froma car should not go unmentioned Witnesses who haveseen the performance claimit to be really good and saythat Mr P throws himself into the part with gusto andabandon Just ask him at anytime to give a performancefor you Hes always onlytoo glad to oblige

We saw Messrs Stevensand Grace of West Wing ontheir return trom Rochesterand these gentlemen were stillgroggy with enthusiasm atthe reception tendered themby their brethren there Adance was in progress at thetime but it didnt matterThey were given introduc-tions immediately to everyone present welcomed to theaffair with open arms and apparently enjoyed themselvesimmensely Mr Lew Treleaven on the other hand contented himself with makingone fast friend one StaircaseSusie by name The two wereinseparable

reading the tnings or discussing tne tnings mat interest mmBut we dont intend to go very deeply into this subject

this week We are merely throwing out a general idea whichwe hope you will take up and follow and react to in sometangible way through petitions letters discussions and edi-torials

College ShopAdopts Plan

In the past few years theCollege Shop has sufferedfrom several serious businesshandicaps Poorly kept booksunpaid bills and a decrease incredit seriously hampered itsefficiency In view of thesefacts the college shop hasbeen reorganized financiallyin such a manner as to insure

The managers will dividethe time necessary to the op-eration of the shop equallybetween them The seniorwill be responsible for thegeneral supervision of thestore The Junior will be re-sponsible for the books andthe sophomore duties will belimited to storekeeping

The books of the shop willbe closed in the spring andthe college will carry overwhatever inventory remainsuntil the following fall withinterest at the expense ofthe shop The profits willbe divided as follows Tenpercent will go toward thecreation of a permanent cap-ital fund to gradually removethe necessity of a college in-vestment Forty percent ofthe net profits will go to thesenior manager thirty per-cent to the junior managerand twenty percent to thesophomore manager

While the college does notguarantee the payment ofobligations incurred by thestudent managers the advis-ory officers will exercisereasonable care to preventfinancial involvement by thecollege shopefficiency in the future

At the last meeting of theboard of trustees a plan wasapproved whereby the collegewill furnish the initial capitalfor the college shop which isnot to exceed 700 at 5 in-terest per annum This planwill enable men to take over

October 28 1940Mr R Donald McClearyEditor Kenyon CollegianKenyon CollegeGambier OhioDear Mr McCleary

In regard to your letter ofthe 25th instant please acceptmy apologies for the part ofthe article to which you r-eferred To offer any excusewould be foolish from a pe-rsonal as well as from a jou-rnalistic viewpoint

When the article was wri-tten I shunned at that partbut on second thought it didnot not seem so bad You seethe author of that story hasa large number of friends atKenyon including his bestfriend back home It seemsthat this writer has beendown there a number of timesand receives letters telling ofsome such startling eventsHowever he did not mean tobe unsportsman- like about itAlso last year a number of uswere very much amused atthe members of the Kenyonstudent body at the gameplayed in Mount Vernon Andit was in this spirit that thearticle was written Now Isee that unless one knows thebackground to the wholething it does not make forvery good reading to saynothing of the diplomatic endWe like Kenyon College andits students here at Heide-lberg and we would do not-hing to make ourselves dislikedby the students of Kenyon

You were very right aboutthe conduct of your rootersat the game here They didnothing out of the ordinaryAs for your team it was oneto which nobody could nnafault either in conduct or inplay Everything was fin-eexcept the article in our p-aper that told of the cominggame So please accept my

fully Though most of thecomedy in the play hinged onhim he avoided the tendencyof amateur actors to attemptto steal the show

The most encouragingthing about this performancewas the work of the new-comers and comparativelynew- comers As a group theydid credit to themselves Andtheir individual performanceshad many merits Miss BettyFrazier handled her lines welland did a convincing job AlanMcDonald and Bill Wrightheld up their ends of the plotcreditably as did Edward Mc-Guire Rupert Andersonshowed signs of unusual tal-ent in his first appearance onthe Gambier stage Mr KuhJhandled his roll with a greatdeal of coolness and under-standing

The play had only threefaults It seemed obvious thata little more time could havebeen put into the preparationFrom time to time the char-acters seemed to be all ton-gue and their lines were un-intellible to the audiencethough this was not as ser-ious a fault as it might havebeen

The settings were wonder-ful as usual The directingwas quite capable The light-ing and technical problemsof the play were handled ex-pertly despite the almost in-surmountable problems of-fered by the limited facilitiesof the stage

I Killed the Count wasnot only a success but pre-dicts we are sure a brilliantseason for the dramatic clubWe congratulate them

In opening the discussion oftobacco Dr Baube pointedout that it was a comparative-ly new habit and that whileit was introduced into Europeby Columbus it was notsmoked there until the returnof Sir Walter Raleigh in 1586Then the doctor released themost surprising fact of thelecture Mainly that nicotineis destroyed by burning to-baceo fast and that one cigar

The toxic effects of nauseadizziness and an evident let-down become less frequent af-ter the continued use of to-bacco Minor effects are car-diac irregularity shortness ofbreath and loss of appetitewhile the infiamation of theeye nerve lowered tempera-ture in the extremities of twoto five degrees after one cig-arette and a narrowing of theblood vessels in the organsare to be considered seriousHowever Dr Baube assuredthe Freshmen that tobaccodoes not cause serious ill-nesses especially when usedin moderation less than onepack per day
