PLAN TRIP TO WEST COAST FOR DEBATE SQUAD“Poor Nut”

Cast ChosenHarold Breen, Trudy Weber, Se

lected as Leads

Harold Breen, ’32, will play the title role in “ The Poor N u t” , first Sunset players production of the 1928- 29 school year, which will be presented in the chapel during the second week in November. Opposite him will be Trudy Weber, ’31, as Margie Blake. Breen takes the part of John Miller, a simple college youth, who finds himself before the lowering of the curtain on the th ird act.

The second lead, which is one of the principal parts in N ugent’s “ Poor N u t” , will be played by Irma Mol- zow, '32, as Ju lia W inters. John W alter, ’29, will play opposite her in the [»art of “ S p ike” Hoyt.

The play is of the collegiate type of comedy, and it is planned to localize the event, with the central action revolving around a dual track meet between Lawrence and either Carroll or Beloit. The action of the play takes place in the Lawrence college book room, W hiting athletic field, and in the “ Psi S igm a” fra te rn ity house. In the original manuscript the opposing schools were Wisconsin and Ohio state.

O ther parts in the play will be ta k en by the following persons: Don McMahon, ’32, as Colonel Small, proprietor of the college book store; Jack Kudolph, ’30, as “ H ub” Smith, a Psi Sigma fra te rn ity man; Lester Jacobson, ’31, as “ M agpie” Welch, the college cheer leader; Ross Cannon, *30, as “ W allie” Pierce, president of Psi Sigma; Jack Willem, ’31, as Professor Deming of the botany departm ent; Charles Barnes, ’31, as Coach Jackson of the track squad; Donald Christiansen, ’30, as “ Doc” Spurnev, tra iner: Charles Wolf, ’30, as official s ta rte r in the track m eet; William Meyer, ’31, as Norrie, a Psi Sigma pledge; Ruth Ann Linn, ’29, as Betty, a sorority g irl; Rubie D iebert, ’31, as Reggie, another; Georgia Kelley, ’32, as Helen; Ardis Elston, ’32, as Doris; A rthur Mueller, ’29, and Timothy E nright, ’32, as Lawrence track s tars; Lyman Marceau, ’31, Donald McMahon, ’32, and Kenneth Miles, ’29, as runners for the opposition in the relay; A rthur Steinhaus, ’32, as official announcer; George Beckley, *31, as a Lawrence track man; and Diehl Snyder, ’29, as an official from the v is iting school.

The cast of 2.1 Sunset players is believe«! to be the largest ever to stage a single production on the campus. L ast- y ear S unset’s most pretentious production was “ Tw elfth N ig h t” , but only 20 were required to fill this cast. Rehearsals for “ The Poor N u t” have already been started , under the supervision of Miss Lucile W eltv, director.

Vikings Hold Carls To 12-7

Bad Decision Robs Lawrence Of First Touchdown

By Jack RudolphCarleton college met the Vikings

for the second time Saturday, but it was a different sort of meeting than the first, and though the Minnesotans were ultim ately returned in front, victory only came in the final three minutes of a stubbornly contested game, by a count of 12 to 7. Even so, the Vikings put up a whale of a fight, and but for a rank decision in the closing seconds of the first half that deprived them of a touchdown, they might have come home with a win. However, argum ent was useless and the decision cost the Vikings a win in their first midwest conference game.

As fa r as actual play was concerned, the contest was about even. Carleton excelled in a driving attack tha t the Lawrence forw ard wall was unable to stop, while the vaunted aerial th rea t of the N ortherners failed to m aterialize. On the other hand, although their running a ttack was effectively smothered by the Carl forwards the Vikings controlled the air and also held a slight advantage in the kicking departm ent. The game throughout was marked by hard b a ttling on the part of both teams, fierce tackling, and smashing action every minute of the way.

C arleton’s plunging superiority was largely due to the crashing smashes of Broberg behind splendid blocking and interference th a t swept the Lawrence defenses from his path, and it was his ground gaining th a t paved the way for both touchdowns. The husky full-

Frosh Vote To UpholdTradition Of “Green*'

The class of 1932 has added to the strength of the “ wearing of tin* green” tradition by voting, almost unanimously, to enforce the custom of its own volition. This decision was reached at a special meeting of the freshman class at convocation Friday.

The decision of the freshman class followed discussion as to whether the present yearlings should or should not be made to assume their class colors, and whether the enforcement of the tradition should be maintained by the student senate.

In 1911, the freshman class petitioned the college authorities for the right to wear the green as its official identification. In those days, the newcomers were imposed upon by the upperclassmen to such an extent th a t this was an heroic measure to take.

At th a t time, the frosh were lite rally the underdogs. Upper class women made them carry books, while upper class men sent them on errands, forced them to do menial household tasks, and abused them in every possible way. To voluntarily don the ^reen in order th a t they might be more readily recognized, required either a great amount of courage, or unusual class spirit.

At any rate, permission was g ran ted, and on Monday morning, September 18, 1911, the prospective class of 1915 assumed its badges of serviee, and the “ wearing of the g reen” tr a dition at Lawrence began.

Headed by W. S. Naylor, then dean of freshmen, and Miss Louise Carter, who was the dean of women, the class attended chapel en masse, the boys filing in on one side, wearing their green caps, with the women on the other, gaily bedecked w ith green and w hite ribbons. The two faculty members entered into the spirit of the day, and also wore the colors. When the entire group had assembled, the stu dent body joined in singing the Alma Mater.

From th a t day on, freshmen a t Lawrence have been proud to wear the green, although in la ter years the origin of the custom was, in some cases forgotten, and the student senate found it necessary to enforce the ru ling. In a 1915 isaue of the Lawrentian the statem ent is made tha t “ the student senate inflicted several penalties upon freshmen who have not been wearing their green cap s” , while in 1917 the class of ’21 was abjured through the medium of the editorial column “ to forego prep school insignia, to avoid bragging and boasting, and always to wear the g reen” ; and in 1920 “ freshmen must wear their caps until November 1.”

As the years went on, the trad ition was strengthened, and steps in its growth were added, but they u n ited w ith the whole until they were in discernable as such. At first there were just the green caps, worn by the men, with an occasional fluttering green ribbon from the ensemble of a coed, but as time went on a more definite idea crystallized, and the women were required to wear the green arm bands.

From now on, i t is hoped, the stu dent senate will not find it necessary to summon recalcitrant frosh and in flict the punishment. That work will be cared for by the class itself in order to have a “ bigger and better tradition. ”

Lawrence Alumni To Hold Three Meetings

Lawrence alumni gatherings will be held during the week a t Eau Claire, LaCrosse, and Wausau in connection with the teachers’ conventions held in these various d istric ts of the state. The meetings are in charge of local alumni and will be attended by both resident and visiting Lawrcntians.

Trip Is First In Five Years

Series of Debates With Leading Universities Planned

By E rvin M arquardtPrelim inary plans, which will take

the Viking debate team on a two weeks tour of the Pacific coast, are now being form ulated by William Heerman, ’30, who was recently selected as special debate manager for western forensics.

This y e a r ’s western trip will be the first one tha t a Lawrence debate squad has taken in five years. The last trip was taken in 1923, when a team composed of W illard Henoch, W infred Bird and Chester Seftenberg, all ’26, made a tour of the western states and won all but one of its debates.

During the course of the present forensic season Lawrence will engage in forensic encounters with some of the leading universities and colleges in America. Debates with the universities of California, Colorado, Montana and N orth Dakota have already been arranged. Tentative plans call for debates with colleges in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois. In addition to this program, the debates- with Wisconsin colleges before neutral high school audiences w'ill give Law- rencc* debaters an opportunity to renew forensic relations w ith some of its oldest rivals.

The debate question th is year, wrhich deals w ith public ownership and development of hydro-electric powder sites, is particularly suited for a western audience, because most of the issues involved effect directly the people in th a t te rrito ry .

Address Given By Dr. Bagg in Chapel

“ Footprints on the Sands of T im e” was the theme of a ta lk given by Dr. R. G. Bagg, professor of geology, a t convocation yesterday.

LAWRENTIAN PLATFORM1. Greater expression of student loyalty to institutions and

traditions of the college.2. Increased power and effectiveness of the student senate

through immediate adoption of an aU college constitution.3. Fair and impartial presentation of news and opinions re

lating to campus problems and activities.

THE THIRD PLANKA fter a break of one week in its program for the presentation

of its platform for the college year, the Lawrentian presents the third and one of the most important planks in its constructive program. The point, briefly is stated as “ a fair and impartial présentât ion of news and opinions relating to cam pu» problems and activitie s” , and in the pursuance of this rule the Lawrentian hopes to be a vital contributing force in the constructive development of the college and student body. To that end the paper appeals to the individual students to lend a helping hand whenever possible.

In the first place the Lawrentian will not hesitate to print anything which it considers vital news, nor will it print anything which is detrimental to the good name and reputation of the college. The staff considers itself capable of judging what shall or shall not be printed, and intends to follow its judgment to the best of its ability and to the welfare of Lawrence. Under this plank the paper will encourage the utterance of student opinion upon various problems and events that confront the student body, and will, through the contributors’ column, enable students wishing to have their say to find utterance. But one condition is attached to the use of this column : the rule that the author of a contribution must be known to the editor. This, let it be said, is not a faculty check, but an attempt on the part of the editor to discourage anonymous writing. If a student is afraid to have his name associated with a contribution, the article is often not worth printing. The w riter’s name does not have to appear in print, but it is necessary that it be known to the editor, who in turn is under no obligation to divulge it.

In follow ing out this policy the Lawrentian will maintain neutral ground on the matter of campus politics, but will support any movement which it feels will result in constructive development of the college, just as it will oppose any project which it believes to be detrimental to the welfare of the institution. To this end it is hoped that the faculty and student body will lend their support to the paper in its future undertakings.

THE CHEERING SECTIONThe student senate is to be congratulated upon its initiative in

planning and putting into the preliminary stages of operation the newly announced plan for a special block of rooters for athletic contests. W hile the project is in the early stages of development and has yet to prove itself a success, the idea is a commendable one, and merits the wholehearted support of the student body. Indeed, unless the fraternities and sororities get behind the plan and push it to a successful conclusion the rooting section w ill fall by the w ayside.

Several reasons contribute to the necessity of some such organized work to take the place of the old time “ rah-rah” pep that seems to have fallen into the discard before the blase attitude of modern students, and unless steps are taken to insure a nucleus for cheering at football and basketball games, the familiar yells may be a thing of the past. The cheering, due partly to reluctance o f the collegian to injure his or her voice for a Saturday night date and also to the fact that it is no longer possible to assemble the student body frequently enough to adequately prepare them for united cheering, has become pretty ragged. It is hoped that a small body, specially coached and drilled to follow the yell leaders, w ill give yelling the old time polish.

Opposition is cropping out in some quarters, but those who are not in favor of the plan must admit that it has merit; that its good points far outweigh its bad ones.

VOLTAIRE, GENIUS OF MOCKHRV— By Victor Thaddeus. p.p.281. Brentano, X. Y. $3.00.

“ Voltaire, Genius of M ockery” is an unusual book in th a t it incorpor ates the breathless in terest of a work of firtion w ith the veracity of an historian.

The style of the book is made e ffective-' by a clever alternation of long and short sentences. The account bi ¿ins w ith a resume of conditions in the reign of Louis XIV, who as a child had learned to trace the words, “ Homage is due to Kings; they do w hatever they lik e ” ; but who in middle age feared the retribution of a just God. Voltaire is born, and the life of this puny child is traced w ith skill and painstaking exactness and sym pathy. He is ready to choose his vocation. “ Two roads lead away. One—leads to affluence through subservience. The other—, lined with dungeons and engines of torm ent, menaced every life-mile by the armed servants of Intolerance and Superstition, has yet shining above it, fa r d istan t. fa in t, the sta r of Humanity. Which will he ta k e ? ” We all know.

The youth becomes an accomplished courtier. He is accepted by princes and pays his way by his ready wit. “ When the Regent, to cut down the enormous expense of the court, sold half of the k in g ’s live thousand horses, he was shown an epigram in which the I>uchess of M aine’s head poet (V oltaire) suggested he would do b e tter if he dismissed one half the asses which had surrounded his late m ajesty. ’ ’

The book is w ritten w ith a depth of insight which should win the regard of the reader. I t brings out v ividly the b a ttle which V oltaire waged against infamy. I t is a full length portra it of the man who dominated his own age and made an impression upon all subsequent thought; but it is more than a biography. I t is a mirror of the times. The gruesome shows in this mirrotf, too. For instance, there is the account of tearing a fan atic into four pieces because of a ttem pted murders, and the accusing and crucifying of a fa ther because his son committed suicide.

To the last, V oltaire jested. “ I t is necessary’’, he declared slyly, “ for a man to die in the religion of his fa th ers. I f I lived upon the banks of the Ganges, I should wish to die with a cow ’s ta il in my hands. * ’

THE STRANGE CASE OF MISS A N N IE SPRAGG. By Louis Bromfield. 314 pp. Frederick A. Stokes Co., X. Y. $2.50.

The night Annie Spragg died in an Ita lian palace she was attended by S ister Annunziate, who affirmed she saw a dazzling light enter the window, and shortly a fte r, Saint Francis appeared standing in a field of b u ttercups and primroses.

This is the event around which Louis Bromfield’s latest novel develo p s . The story is not so well w ritten as was “ A Good W om an” , though a person who craves the fan tastic and unusual in plot and incident will like it b e tte r than “ Early A utum n” or “ The Green Bay T ree.” The book as a whole is the story of Miss Annie Spragg and the people whose lives she influences. However, there is lacking the effective continuity th a t made “ A Good W om an” so effective, and the Egressions into various b iographies are a t times confusing. The development is unique and resembles Thornton W elder’s “ The Bridge of San Luis R ev” . Both stories oegin with a single incident which affects the lives of many apparently unrelated people. The treatm ent itself and the date of w riting remove all suspicion from the sim ilarity.

The book provokes in terest—all of Brumfield’s do. The character descriptions are excellent, from the account of the naively immoral barmaid Bessie Cudlipp to the passionate and pitv-inspiring Princess d ’ Oro- belli, whose husband was debauched and whose son was a cripple and an idiot. The m otif of tho story seems to be the acceptance of life by its characters. The hero, W innery, finally came to the conclusion th a t “ any belief which brought comfort to the human race had its own place in the divine scheme of th in g s” . F ather d ’A stier whose fa ith in the Church seemed to be waning came to regard i t as “ The mother to whom he might return now th a t he had finished w ith life .”

The story of Miss Spragg makes a very in teresting book.

A record of seven wins, five defeats, and one tie was the outcome of last S a tu rd ay ’s predictions, making to date a to tal of fifteen wins, five losses, and two ties. A t least two of the defeats of Saturday ought to be thrown out, a t tha t, as in the case of the Cornell and Coe games, we thought th a t these elevens met the “ B ” team s of Wisconsin and Illin ois and not the varsity squads. P re dictions were made on tha t basis, and had we known they were running into the varsity we would never have picked them to win. I t ’s a good alibi, anvwav, believe it or not.

It was a different story at North- field than it was on W hiting Field a yt*ar ago when Lawrence met Carleton. The Vikings fought the Carls on even term s practically throughout, and but for th a t poor decision in the first half might have come through with a one point victory.

According to reports, Razz was p re tty much wrought up over the re fe ree ’s decision tha t plav had stopped, and put up a snappy burst of oratory. I t had little effect on the official, and the case was not reversed. However, Razz and his men have taken the defeat in good style and there has been little crabbing. W hat is done is done, and the team knows it put up a splendid fight even if the break d id n ’t go its way. Carleton has a wonderful team and earned the victorv.

Sehneller, the lanky tackle iftid basketball veteran, was sent into the fray in the second quarter and put up a fine game until relieved in the final period. F rank is a big husky, and as soon as his nervousness wears off should be a valuable asset to the line, as he is heavy, rangy, and can even be counted on to throw the ball occasionally should he ever be called on to do a little relief hurling for Bloomer.

C arleton’s passing th reat failed to m aterialize Saturday, and it was Lawrence that controlled the upper regions, but the Minnesotans un-

We see by the papers th a t Eddie K otal, form er Lawrence captain, continues to s ta r for the Green Bay Packers.

Vikings Bow To Carltonians, 12-7

A gainst the Carleton line the Viking*, on the other hand, were unable to push forward, and it was only when t'iiey resorted to the aerial offense t i a t they succeeded in making headway. The Carleton line was well drilled in fundam entals of defense, and pile 4 B arfell, Fischl, and Bloomer uf> ou their interference tim e and again.

The p issing combination of Bloomer to tasm ussen was uncorked by Lawrene * for the first time and was good for a lot of yardage. Laird also came int > the lim elight on the receiving end of several of F ra n ’s tosses, and it w «9 a short heave to the lanky end tha t carried the ball across the line for Law rence’s touchdown. Bar- fell continued to do good work on defense, while Cable and Sartoris held up .heir end of the deal for Carleton.

Carletc** put across its first score in the srcond period when the ball was adva iced to the 34 yard line and Broberg r mashed through for a touchdown fro u the 10 yard line, a fte r an other 10 yard dash and a couple of plunges h id run the oval close to the last chalV mark. The try for point was miss«d, and the Vikings started right b a d ; down the field to retrieve the lost a lvantage, only to be pulled short on * doubtful decision six inches short c f the goal line.

A pass, Bloomer to Rasmussen, was good for 33 yards, pu tting the ball on the six in h line with tim e a m atter of split seconds, and Bloomer h it the line in an effort to make the last short dist: nee. As he went into the

line he stumbled, fell to his knees, and lunged over the line just as the gun barked ending the half. Although the referee had not blown his whistle to officially end the play, the official ruled th a t Bloomer was downed where he stumbled and the score did not count.

In the th ird quarter another pass from Bloomer to Rasmussen with Lawrence in possession of the ball on C arleton’s 37 brought the ball w ithin3 yards of the goal. Three line plays piled up fru itlessly and Bloomer flipped the egg across the line to Laird who snared it fo r a touchdown. St. M itchell hooked over the ex tra point to give R azz’s boys a single point margin. In the same period the V ikings turned back a Carleton th rea t when they held for four downs inside the 5 yard marker.

W ith less than three minutes to go Carleton worked the ball down to the4 yard line on a succession of line plunges and Broberg hurdled over to his second counter. Goal was again missed. Although the Blues came back strong and tried desperately to count again, they failed, and Carleton

was saved. A summary of the game shows th a t the Carls made 16 first downs to L aw rence’s 6, but the game was more closely fought than such figures would indicate.

The Blues entered the game seriously handicapped by the loss of Krohn, who was unable to play because of poison ivy infection on his face, which broke out enroute to Northfield. Vincent, who was pu tting up a whale of a game in the line, was carried from the field w ith a wrenched knee in the final quarter. Simso, the Carleton captain, played a short time during the first period and again the last stanza but his injured arm kept him from doing any damage. Setter- quist, his b a tte ry mate, saw action but a short time, due to a knee injury suffered last week.
