Rumors Of Snyder’s Death Are Unfounded

H arry Snyder, ’27, who was report­ed murdered, has sent word to friends here which indicates tha t he is quite unaware of the excitement his sup­posed disappearance has been c rea t­ing. Numerous Christm as cards were received from him by friends on the c.ampus and a cable dated December 31 was also received.

Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Snyder, Farm ­ington, Minnesota, had not received word from their son since September 27, and became alarmed when they received from Syria a large knife by mail which was addressed in unfam ili­ar handw riting. Snyder has been teaching in the American U niversity of Beirut, Syria, and receipts of the knife led to the supposition tha t he might have been murdered.

While in school Snyder was presi­dent of the all-college club, member of Mace, Tau Kappa Alpha, P i Gam­ma Mu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and N a­tional Collegiate Players.

President Addresses Students On Tuesday

“ Development of poise and experi­ence iu tac t are goals as direct and im portant as any in education ,” said Dr. Henry W riston in addressing the student body at convocation Tuesday morning.

He pointed out tha t there have been no cases of discipline and no im port­an t issues to produce tension between faculty and students this year. This condition, he said, is a real experience in social adjustm ent.

Dr. W riston believes this indicates a growth in teamwork. There has been no change in rules, but there is a change in atmosphere. Faith and confidence are increasing on the part of both faculty and student, and this situation shows that the heart of the college is sound.

An effort to deal with the students individually has also contributed much to this successful achievement in so­cial living.

In closing Dr. W riston stressed the fact that no external discipline can achieve the most im portant results. It is ra ther the self control which must be exercised bv each individual.

CURRICULUM CHANGESDue to changes and additions in

some of the departm ents in the faculty, some courses will be o f­fered the second semester th a t were to have been postponed until next year. This may affect some students who have registered for their second semester courses with the intention of postponing cer­tain courses until next year. This especially concerns those registered in history courses under Dr. Trever and some of the economics and business adm inistration courses. In case this involves any changes in the second semester registration, these students should consult the Registrar a t once.

Sierra Comedy To Be Given For Festival

“ Sueno de una Noehc de A gosto” , a three act play by Gregario M artinez Sierra, will be presented a t the an ­nual Juegos Florales Spanish Festival to be held sometime in February.

"Twelfth Night” Will Be Staged By Sunset Players February 23

Tryouts For Shakespearian Play Are Being Held in Chapel All

This Week

“ Twelfth N ig h t” , a Shakespearian comedy, will be given in the Memorial chapel on February 23 as the second public presentation of Sunset players, it was decided at a recent meeting of the dram atic group. The cast, which includes ten men and three women, in addition to a ttendan ts and musicians, is a large one, and tryouts for the parts are being held all this week.

The Shakespearian play, one of the few to be presented a t Lawrence col­lege iu recent years, marks the sec­ond dram atic venture of Sunset p lay­ers for the 1927-8 season. Its position as one of the best known of Shakes­p eare’s plays adds to the in terest which, it is believed, will be m anifest by the students tow ards the produc­tion.

The director will be Miss Lucile W elty, advisor of the dram atic group, and a full business staff will be se­lected to work with and supplement the cast of players. Committees to arrange for the details of staging, cos­tum ing and directing, are to be ap ­pointed soon a fte r the cast is an ­nounced.

“ Twelfth N ig h t” will probably be the last full time performance to be given by Sunset players this season, although a program of selected one act plays may be given la ter in the year by the organization.

Seventy-eighth Annual Catalogue Is Issued

A different sequence is the only change noticeable in the seventy- eighth annual catalogue which has been issued under the direction of Dr. A rthur Weston. A list of all the Lawrence presidents and the holders of scholarships are the only new fea­tures.

The description of courses which has usually occupied the la tte r part of the book has been placed before the general inform ation on activ ities and organizations. The m aterial pre­ceding the courses includes officers of the college, presidents of the college, a historical statem ent, organization, grounds and buildings, admission, de­grees, and honors in scholarship.

Following the description of courses is a description of prizes and honors tha t are offered each year and hold­ers of 1927-1928 scholarships. A list of degrees conferred in 1927, m aterial on the conservatory, and a list of the present students, concludes the ca ta ­logue.

Miss Ruth Norton of the English composition departm ent has moved to Ormsby hall from 316 East Lawrence street.

Gold Cagers Face Vikings Here Tonight

Marquette May Use Sharp Pass­ing Attack Against Blue

and White Team

W ith a week of hard practice com­pleted since the holidays Coach D enny’s inexperienced V iking five will take the floor tonight in the ir first big test of the season when they meet F rank M urray ’s “ Golden A va­lan« h e ” from M arquette. The game will be played in the Armory, ge tting under way a t eight o ’clock.

In M arquette, the Blue cagers will be facing a team w ith plenty of po­ten tia l power, although slightly handi­capped by inexperience. Sophomores form the bulk of the lineup, although there is enough experienced m aterial to mold the team into a powerful five. Coach M urray has been drilling his men in a passing a ttack the past week in preparation for the Oregon Aggies, whom M arquette met W ednesday night, and a sim ilar offensive will no doubt be used against Lawrence.

Have Played Six GamesThe Hilltops have the edge on the

Vikings in regard to actual competi­tion so fa r this season, having a l­ready played six games, most of their opponents being in the Big Ten or in the same class. They beat M ilwau­kee Normal in their opener and then lost to Northwestern U niversity, Iowa, Loyola, and Minnesota, and Wednes­day night bumped into the Oregon Aggies. Law rence’s record so fa r is an even break in two pre-season games, defeating N orthw estern of VVntertown and 1-ising to au all-star alumni quintet.

Iu O 'Donnell and Zummach, M ar­quette has a pair of forwards th a t are hard to beat. Both of them were team m ates on the wonder quint of M arquette High two years ago th a t ran up a string of 19 stra ig h t vic­tories before being beaten in the N a­tional Catholic prep meet, la ter trouncing the team th a t elim inated them. Zummach was the s ta r of th a t team. At center will be lanky Ray Andrews, another sophomore. Back in the days when he was known as “ T am arack” in sta te high school c ir­cles, this giant made the name of Shawano High feared in the court game and the big fellow has improved under M urray 's teaching. Guards are Johnny Padden and “ Sw ede” Gebert, the la tte r of football fame.

Heavy PracticeThe Viking squad has been on the

job since last Friday, re tu rn ing early in order to get in some stiff workouts before classes reopened. Denny has been pu tting his men through their paces twice a day since heavy prac­tice started , and w ith plenty of scrim­mage against outside team s, he says liis “ ponies” are beginning to show improvement. Denny has not been sat­isfied with the te a m ’s passing game so far, and has hinted th a t there might be changes in the lineup when the squad takes the floor tonight.

In an effort to perfect a be tte r passing offense, Coach Denny has been using several combinations a t the forward berths. Schlagenhauf and Rasmussen and Bendt and Hoffman have been showing some class in th is departm ent, and the form er pair is probably the be tte r team , although

IN DEFENSEA Lawrence professor, in a recent talk before one of his classes,

spent a great deal of time in criticism of the Lawrentian, its meth­ods, its reporters, and its news. While it is understood that the lec­ture was given in a friendly manner and as a specific example to illustrate an entirely different point, the Lawrentian feels that the criticism, under the circumstances, was a bit out of order. In his apparent enthusiasm this professor spent so much time on this specific example that the original point in view was entirely lost sight of by his class, and the report circulated rather widely that “ Professor So-and-so took the Lawrentian for a ride in class this morning.”

The Lawrentian realizes that it is by no means perfect in its organization and functions, and it appreciates friendly criticism and suggestion whenever given, but in this case the professor may have made a mistake. In the first place, if this professor had any criticisms of staff organization to make he should have come to the Lawrentian with them, where they would be appreciated and should not have discussed them before a class of disinterested students. As a result this professor, perhaps unwittingly, has conveyed the idea to the students that he is not in sympathy with the college pa­per, and has not only let himself in for a lot of student criticism, but has cast a reflection on the Lawrentian from a student point of view.

Undoubtedly, some of the methods employed by reporters in getting news would not get by with some metropolitan daily, but neither do they get by on the Lawrentian if they are discovered. The editors expend every effort to make reporters get their news in the most professional manner possible, but they can’t see every­thing. It must be remembered that Lawrentian reporters are not professional newshounds and many of them are inexperienced in the journalistic game; they cannot always be expected to conform to big publication standards, even if conditions permitted, which they do not. Nor is the Lawrentian “ full of inaccuracies” as this instructor is quoted as saying. It has long been a boast of the editorial staff that Lawrentian news has been clean copy, and stories are carefully checked for accuracy. Occasionally, however, some story goes through which contains mistakes, sometimes more flagrant than others, but these are slip-ups which can occur on any paper and are not indicative of the character of the copy issued.

The Lawrentian also agrees with the statement that editorials tend to be “ vapid, inane, and colorless” in their tone, but on this position it has a defense which it considers quite plausible. In the first place this campus is seldom confronted with any grave crises which demand a firm and spirited stand on any controversy, and in the second place the campus is too small a community to warrant any journalistic fireworks without treading on someone’s toes. The Lawrentian hesitates to give anything but an impartial viewpoint on campus problems that arise. The facts remain, and cannot be denied, that the Lawrentian is collegiate—it is handicapped by con­ditions which face every small college publication, in spite of which it has supported itself for years and maintained a position at the top of college and university newspapers. Lawrentian editors and re­porters are not perfect specimens of their k ind ; if they were they would be wasting time in college instead of giving some large daily paper the benefits of their talent.

BARFELLThe election of Kalph Barfell as captain of the 1928 Viking

football team has met with unqualified approval from the student body as a whole. While Barfell is not particularly active off the gridiron, it is felt that he was deserving of the honor and the entire campus is pulling for him to make a success of his new job. The student body is back of Barfell for more reasons than the fact that he is a good football player. For any man to travel as far to attend college as Barfell has, and to work his way through to an education as well is enough to incite respect, but when a man, faced with the burden of financially supporting himself, still finds time to go out for football and make the success of it that the new captain has, the effort is deserving of credit. ____________

America Discovered for $7200Old records show that the cost of Columbus’ first expedition to America amounted, in modem exchange, to only $7200. To finance Columbus, Isabella, Queen of Spain, offered to pawn her jewels. Today word comes from Spain indicating that a twentieth century importation from the new world is fast effect­ing a sufficient saving to ransom many royal jewels.The Spanish Northern Railway reports that the American equipment with which in 1924 the railroad electrified a mountainous section of its lines from Ujo toPajareshas accomplished the following economies:

1. A 55% saving in the cost of power.2. A reduction of 40% in the number of engine miles for

the same traffic handled.3. A saving of 73J^% in the cost of repairs and upkeep

for locomotives.4. A saving of 63% in crew expenses.5. A reduction of 31% in the cost of moving a ton-

kilometer of freight.

In every part of the world, electricity has replaced less efficient methods and is saving sums far greater than the ransom of a queen’s jewels. You will always find it an important advantage in your work and in your home.

Barfell Will Captain 1928 Grid Eleven

Husky Halfback Defeats Olin Jessup In Football Squad

Elections

Ralph Barfell, ’29, of Brawley, California, has been elected to pilot the Viking gridiron machine for the I92H season, it was announced at the pieociitation of ath letic aw ards on December 20. Barfell received eleven votes to eight for his nearest rival to the captaincy, Olin Jessup, ’28, of Ma rsh field.

The new captain has starred for two years in the Lawrenee backfield, holding down a regular position a t halfback. Although handicapped by injuries in both campaigns, Barfell has played a bang up game of foot­ball. He carries the ball for consis­tent gains, but his big bid has been on defense and this past season he was the mainstay of the Blue secon­dary line. He was selected on the Milwaukee S en tine l’s all-state sec­ond team at the conclusion of the sea­son.

Before coming to Lawrence Barfell played for four years as a half back on the Jefferson, Wisconsin, high school eleven. He is short but stocky, and is heavier than he looks, throwing his weight into plays with effective results. 2. M

Viking Frosh Take Easy Basketball Tilt From Kenosha, 23-8

Biggers Leads Attack of Lawrence Yearlings; Pfefferle and

Fischl Star

Flashing a brand of basketball tha t marks them as being one of the strongest first year combinations Law­rence has ever had, the Viking fresh­men trounced Kenosha high school on the Armory floor, 23 to 8, in a game played just before the Christmas holi­days. The down sta te team is a t pres­ent the favorite to cop the sta te high school championship and has a victory over the Carroll freshmen.

The first period was scoreless, but both teams broke the ice in the sec­ond quarter and Lawrence led a t the half, 6 to 5. In the last half, with Biggers, former Elgin, Illinois, star, leading the a ttack , the frosh piled up seventeen ]K>ints to their opponents’ three to cop by a top heavy 23 to 8 score.

B iggers’ shooting and passing work marked him as the sta r performer of the evening, the lanky forward ring­ing up four baskets. Fischl and Pfefferle, both form er Valley high school basketeers, turned in good jobs in the guard positions, while Shipley, Kenosha guard, featured his te am ’s play with his floor work.

Coaches Briese and K otal gave most of their reserves a chance to play, and substitutions were coming thick and fast in the last -few min­utes. F ifteen men put in time on the floor.

Blue Cagers Register One Victory and One Defeat In Early Games

Defeat Northwestern Quintet in Close Game; Lose to Alumni Five,

24 to 21

The Viking basketball team opened its 1928 campaign with an even break in a pair of pre-season games before the Christmas holidays when they downed the quintet from N orthw est­ern of W atertown, 27 to 22, and lost to an all-star alumni five in a second game, 24 to 21.

The sophomore varsity squad pried the li<l off the season’s activ ities at the Armory on December 16, against the N orthw estern five, and came out with a victory, 27 to 22. A w hirl­wind s ta rt, with Remmel scoring in the first th ir ty seconds of play, en aided the Vikings to pile up an 8 to 0 lead before the Lutherans could break the ice, and a good offense proved to be the best defense for the rest of the half. The score at half time was 16 to 10 iu favor of Lawrence.

Second Half A fter another fast s ta rt iu the sec­

ond peiiod tha t rang up four more points in short order, the Viking o f­fense wavered and the Blues resorted to long shots. The Northwestern fo r­wards, Zilz and Rosenbauer, began sneaking in a few tosses from under the basket, but were unable to bridge the gap before the game ended. Rem­ind, with three baskets and the same number of free tosses, was high scor­er for the Vikings, while the two Lutheran forw ards divided team hon­ors with eight jH iiu ts each.

On December 20, an alumni five, composed of members of Law rence’s S ta te and Midwest champs from ’22 to ’24, took the measure of D enny’s youngsters, 24 to 21. A sudden spurt in the final minutes, a fte r the varsity had m aintained a slim lead through­out the contest, enabled the old timers to come up and take the decision.

the Alumni opened fast, but pro bas­ketball tactics d id n ’t work so well, and a fte r being called for repeated rough play, they settled down to a calmer brand of basketball. The half ended with the score 14 to 10 in favor of the V arsity. Basing went in for Christoph at the half.

Most of the scoring in the second half came near the opening of the period and then for several minutes, with the score knotted a t 21-21, the ball worked up and down the floor with neither team being able to pene­tra te the o th e r’s defense accurately. With about a minute to play the alumni counted on a free throw and followed with a ringer to capture the tussle.

They may be partia l to fads and foibles, novelty neckwear and fancy sw eaters but when it comes to food, according to waitresses a t S n ider’s restauran t, college people display an almost middle-aged conservatism.

Should Lawrence song writers write another d itty in which they asked, “ And what did they eat for b reak­fast, and what do they eat for lunch, and what do they eat a t three p.m., and at eleven what do they crunch the unchanging chorus would be “ toast and coffee.”

S tudents coming in for breakfast between nine and eleven a.m., s tu ­dents coming in for something to hold body and soul together sometime be­tween the bleak period between lunch and dinner, students seeking susten­ance a fte r the even ing’s moil and toil at books or F isher’s, order toast and coffee. Four out of five— nine out of ten, yes—ninety-nine out of a hun­dred do it. Sometimes they vary the monotony with egg or bacon or ham­burger sandwiches, sometimes they order nut sundaes for breakfast and sometimes pie—but the times are rare. The gustatory banner of Lawrence might well show a blushing student crunchiug behind a stack of toast above the motto “ Again He Orders Toast and Coffee.”

Beta Phi Alpha Announces Engagement

Beta Phi Alpha announces the en­gagement of Ansiue Ibsen, ’25, Union Grove, to Lawrence Howell, ’23, K e­waunee, Illinois. Mr. Howell is a member of Psi Chi Omega.
