Stroudsburg l~vaders Have "The Kingdom of God" Long Record Of Wins Already Under Way
The small, but mighty Stroudsburg State Teachers quintet will arrive here tonight to engage the pride of I. C. in a do-or-die cage fest. The famous foragers from Pennsylvania bring a commendable reputation with them. Their zone defense and fast break has added many a notable opponent to their long list of vanquished foes. Even mighty Seton Hall has succumbed to the impregnable spirit, and ravaging tactics of the Stroudsburg club.
lthacans Prepared
Coach Yavits has the Bombers well girded for the prospective battle. Last Friday night's sham contest with the Egans was conclusive proof of the Big Blue's ability to cope with the visitor's style of play. Although they were slow to start, the lthacans soon made their opponents zone look like a sieve, and their "fast break" a verse to the Lambeth Walk. In fact, the Egans became so frustrated in their attempts to stop the onslaught that they were forced to drop the "zone" and resort to other defensive measures.
Reserves Improving W i t h characteristic sagacity,
Coach Yavits has been giving his reserves every opportunity to increase their knowledge, and widen their experience. As a result, the indispensable second string has shown a decided improvement. In-

For the past week the cast of "The Kingdom of God," a play by G. Martinez Sierra, has been in rehearsal. This production, which is the second production of the year to be directed by Dr. Charles J. McGaw, will be the fourth in this year's series of plays presented by the Department of Drama of Ithaca College.
In this play Sierra concerns himself with a young girl, Gracia, who leaves her comfortable home and lavish surroundings to become a sister in the Order of St. Vincente de Paolo. The character of Sister Gracia is being portrayed by Margaret ltter. This part gives Miss ltter ample opportunity to show her versatility as an actress, as she must age from nineteen to seventy during the course of the play.
The play boasts of a large cast and gives equal opportunity for acting honors to all the characters, as each scene depicts a different period in the life of Sister Gracia. The first scene takes place in on Old Mens' Home, the second in a Maternity Home for delinquent girls, and the last in an Orphan's Home:
"Kingdom of God" promises to be a beautiful and enjoyable production and should prove to be good entertainment for the audience. The play will be presented in the early port of March.
Large Summer Course Probable; Living Costs For Extra T~rm Low
The latest reports on the three semester program ore still somewhat vague. However, a partial tally of the student questionnaires which were filled out at the time of registration reveal that 55% ore definite about returning for the third semester. The college's executive board feels that,even 45% or 50% would be high enough to warrant the third semester. However, this figure will probably climb because of the fact that the physical education men will, in all probability, be deferred on the grounds of occupational deferment as long as the school or the individual can give some assurance of obtaining a job.
Regarding this, Mr. Hill has informed us of a very high employment percentage, stating that he could have placed 50 men .. and 20 women immediately if he had had the graduates. The same situation has existed in the music department.
A few facts concerning the third semester include the following. There will be no lowering of the standards now existing in the three departments. To those attending school, the coming of summer will not mean relaxation, but the continuance of a normal school program.
A few faculty members who hove previously been contracted for summer jobs eleswhere will leave Ithaca for the summer. In addition, one or two others may be allowed to continue their postgraduate studies, if their classes can be handled by some other member of the faculty.
Dormitory and dining hall rates will be somewhat reduced because of reduction in maintainance cost.
The work in some subjects· may be planned on a half semester basis which will allow the changing of teachers at mid year so that some may have a longer vocation or continue their post-graduate work.

New Draft Policy Gives Phy Eds Renewed f.,ease On Scholastic Life
The following is a copy of the new policy affecting Physcial Edu:ation Students of draft age. It was sent to Mr. Lawrence Hill, head of the Physical Education Dept. by the New ,York State Headquarters of the Selective Service Board.
"In line with a recent pronouncement of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Office of Production Management which stated there will be a possible shortage of highschool teachers of Physical Education for men, students in training for such positions will be given consideration for occupational deferment as 'necessary men,' Brigadier General Ames T. Brown, New York State Director of Selective Service, announced today.
In a bulletin issued to boards in New York State, General Brown said:
"There are no blanket deferments, and each case must be considered on .its individual merits. Before a student may be given con-
sideration as a man in training, he must meet the requirements of a 'necessary man" as defined, giving consideration to such factors as:
"1. Length of time in which the student has been pursuing the course.
"2. The relative progress and standing in such course.
"3. The relative chances of employment or placement for such activity for which he is preparing.
"This latter fa1=tor may be evidenced by contract of employment or any reasonable assurance that the registrant will engage in that activity."
Upon receiving the above notice, Mr. Hill promptly wired the news to some fifteen students from his department who had already left for induction into the service. Just how many of this group will be able to return as a result of this new policy cannot as yet be determined.

Faculty Advisor .............................................. _____ DR. RAY HOLCOMBE
ALL CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS MUST ELECT BEFORE WEDNESDAY, MAR. 16
Because of the accelerated schedule, it has been suggested by the Student Council that elections of officers for campus organizations be held before March 16. This request is made so that the new Student Council may hold elections before April 1. With this plan it will be possible to combine the '43 Council with the present one. This combined council then will be able to work together for the remainder of the year and then the new members will receive the opportunity to benefit by the older council's experience.
We know that this will meet the approval of the faculty advisors and hope the matter will be given serious attention in the very near future.
As an example of the art of recording, Wagner's Die WalkureRide of the Walkure, Act Ill & Lohengrin-Prelude, Act III played by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner is well worth investigating, but, as samples of Wagner's music, Reiner's concept is far less pleasing than those of other conductors. The Ride, though fast moving and wellplayed, does not have the sweep and majesty of other versions The Prelude to Act Ill of Lohengrin is taken at a very brisk tempo, into which a sense of superficiality has crept.
If you are an earnest collector of records, you are undoubtedly interested in recordings which might be termed "different". Among these is a mast interesting
recording of Austrian Peasant Dances arranged by Max Schoneherr, This disc, recorded in England, is jovial and old-worldly. The recording is excellent.
Recently released is an album entitled A Concert by Lily Pons and her husband Andre Kostelonetz. It includes four numbers by Miss Pons with Orchestra and four numbers by the Orchestra alone. Lily Pons is in good voice but her enunciation in English leaves something to be desired. Mr. Kostelonetz and his orchestra play in their usual manner. His interpretation of Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 is peing well received.
Harry Blantz, first trumpeter of the New York Philharmonic is featured in an album of two discs called Bugle Calls of the Army.

Corner Bookstore Donates To Library
In order to help build the reputation of the Ithaca College Library to a higher level and to bring to the students of Ithaca College more and better books, Mr. Earle W. DeMotte, President of The Corner Bookstore, has in behalf of that firm donated the following books to the college library:

AtL FRESHMEN! Mass Meeting At Gym
Thursday, 8:15 P. M.
Attendance Compulsory
Dr. Rehmann has finally unlocked the secret doors and given forth the performance date of the Requiem. Saturday, March 28 is the day, and it is to be presented in Foster Hall {Ithaca High School Auditorium).
The fact that this is the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of Ithaca College accounts for Alumni soloists appearing on the program and Miss Margaret Daum, Mrs. Florence A. Wilcox, Messrs. Wilmer R. Moyer and Luke E. Motz will sing the solo parts. According to Dr. Rebmann, the chorus is now at a point of perfection where assisting soloists may be invited to sing with it. This is the result of five years' hard work on Dr. Rebmann's part.
More information will be divulged later in the semester, but the performance of the Requiem . with chodus, symphony orchestra, and outstanding soloists promises to be one of the highlights of the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration.

The plot for Scampers is in two parts, The first act is made up of half a dozen hilarious scenes representati~e of highlights in the history of the school. The second act is Scampers '42. The script and revising committees have been working hard to get a show that will celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the College and also be a typical musical comedy Scampers.

(This is the first of two articles on the interrelation of the arts so designed as to give the reader. a broader outlook on the finer things of life despite the present world situation. No matter what the results of the conflict are, the decision will not be a finale to civilizcition; as the nation progresses in the readjustment process, so will the arts go through a readjustment period and, perhaps some evidence of the past history and the influence of the arts on people throughout all time will aid in the apprehension of a new philosophy on the future.)
During the first semester, one of the World literature classes established ci common bond between music and literature in the hope that it would make the literary work more realistic in the eyes of musicians. That there is a definite relationship there is common knowledge. However, one is inclined to ask if interrelation of the arts stops with music and literature. Interrelation goes much farther than that; it goes into painting, sculpture, dancing, and still others of the fine arts. All these finer arts are related in purpose, method and even show relationship in terminology. They are the means by which the artist communicates his thoughts and feelings to us.

Larry Dunn
Once again we bring you an intimate review of the life of one of our graduating seniors-smiling, congenial Larry Dunn. Bo,i:n and reared on the flat bosom of Long Island's wave drenched shores, in a little village called Smithtown, he arrived on October 12, 1918, within one month of the cessation of the first world catastrophe.
As we review the chain of incidents and achievements of his life-and as we watch the links slip into place, we slowly begin to realize the value and wealth of the character from which they were forged ...
In high school, Larry played four years of ·football and one year of basketball. He captained the football team one year, and made the All Western Suffolk team. In addition, he was elected president of the student council, and in his senior year, president of his class.
The growth of this ever increasing passion to champion the underprivileged, began with the reign of President Roosevelt. Larry, a faithful history student, noted the President's extreme measures to aid the poor, and became intensely interested. It wasn't lol")g before Larry became acutely aware of the existing facts. His work in the settlement houses, and his association with the Brentwood State Hospital served to uncover some startling evidence. This evidence has opened new channels of thought, and broadened the avenues of appreciation-this evidence has created a desire and evolved a purpose for living. And when a man has found his place in lifeand the meaning of his existence has become unalterably clear-he is a man indeed ...

Larry entered college in 1938, and in his freshman year played football, managed the freshman baseball team, and made the Adelphi honorary society. In his sophomore year, he played football, managed varsity baseball, and was pledged to Phi-E-K. During his junior year he devoted much of his time to social work at the South Side Community Center. This year he was elected to the presidency of his fraternity, a tern~ porary responsibility, which was eclipsed by the more permanent one of taking a wife.

To the casual observer, the preceding paragraphs might seem quite conclusive, but to the great number of Larry's more intimate friends they are but a weak outline. For, behind the smiling countenance-behind the heavy black brows, there exists a mind that is keenly alert, and sharply sensi-

pealing of the bells die away, solemn notes of a Gregorian Chant arise, swelling into a mighty song, coming from the white-robed choir under the arcades of the tower. Here we find, architecture, music, vestments, color-all against a background of sublime silence. Yet, as one looks at Bruges and its medieval atmosphere, the imagination can perceive the towering structures of our own country and age and John Alden Carpenter's composition Skyscrapers reminds you of the dynamism of this age.

Mrs. Bert R. Lyon Entertains
Mrs. Bert Rogers Lyon, president of the Delta Phi Zeta patronesses, entertained at a tea in her home on Thursday, January 22. She had as guests of honor the new patronnesses of Delta Phi Zeta, who were installed last month at the formal initiation of members. The new patronesses are Mrs. Adrian Newens, Mrs. Johann Reich, Mrs. Ralph Jones, Mis·s Bess Dan·iels, and Mrs. Lee Smail.
The sorority members will be hostesses to the Drama freshmen girls this Sunday morning, February 1, at 10:00 o'clock in the house. An informal breakfast party has been planned.
Delta Phi Zeta is awfully sorry to see Sylvia Glassman leave school, but we wish her the best of luck in her new surroundings.

Entertain Miss Waste,lain
We were happy to entertain Miss Wasterloin at our house during her stay here. It was a happy and honored evening for us.
We ore looking forward to Mrs. Margaret Clark Hall's recital with great expectations.
On Monday evening, January 19, we held Pan Pipes Hotel. Those 16 girls invited played a piece on their major instrument. We were only sorry that our house can't accommodate more. Janet Brown and her committee deserve bouquets for a well planned evening of music, fun· and not to forget the refreshments (a regular dinner in itself. As good as will ever be found on any hotel menu.)

Girls. come one, come all, everyone's invited to our Gym night. Porticioote in basketball, badminton, square or round dancing, for the oure enjoyment of it, or tumble and tao for the "slimming" you'll aet.

Phi Mu Alpha "Mole" Reynolds Retires
Saturday evening the Phi Mu boys invaded the Lehigh Restaurant and put on one of the finest farewell parties in its history. This party was in honor of "Mole" Reynolds and "Sultan" Tarbell. Approximately twenty-fiv.e couples joined the brothers in their finai social event at Ithaca College. After a fine Italian dinner the group moved en masse to the Fraternity house where we held our annual mid-semester dance.
Brother Ring has lost his pin to Norma Bloomberg; congratulations are in order. Jerry is social chairman of the fraternity and is doing a fine job this year. He reports that a plan is being mode for another barn dance in the near future. Probably this affair will be in honor of Ortone and Ring.

What's all the hollering for? Dick Willover has left for the
Army-but that isn't going to break up a good basketball team. This will be the first lineup change since the first game of the season.
Coach Yavits has not yet decided who will replace Willover, but Irv Halstead or Ted Fay seem to be the logical men for the spot. In my humble opinion Halstead should get the nod.
Bill Friis, a joyvee player hos also left school. Bill was o good ball player, and might have moved up if the army had not called him ~lsewhere.
Last week various players were tried out - but -. Practice this 'ast vveek included two practice games-one against Syracuse at Syracuse. The boys didn't look bad at all.
Tonight the Bombers take on one of the toughest opponents on the schedule-E. Stroudsburg. The mr:iin event is scheduled for 8: 15 and the preliminary at 7:00.

the 1.F.T. House 32-23. The schedule calls for each team to play ever}' other team twice.
