Q \ tew minutes after the French ' Paris had sailed from her West

Fifteenth Street pier yesterday the ship's officers transferred a young stowaway to a tug. The boy was Leon- ard Batch of 150 East 182d Street, a 15- year-old student at DeWitt Clinton High School.

Mrs. living Batch, the boy's mother, had heard through some of his friends that he was planning to steal aboard and Bail with the ship. She called the French Line office in Rockefeller Cen- ter and was told to call the pier. Offi- cers found the boy as the liner was turning in midstream.

The boy told officials on the pier that he had selected the Paris because he was fond of French cooking.

CjTariff barriers that limit interna- tional commerce and contribute to the irorttwMfi depression were described as "an absurd situation which can only be rectified by an international economic agreement," by Dr. Henry K Gruber, Polish economist and presi- dent of the Postal Savings Bank of Poland. Dr. Gruber, who has been visit- Ing in the United States for several >-eks, departed for home on the Paris

the French Line. The economist, who has expressed

' is views on the international lm- p ,SSe in lectures and addresses in sev ', al cities, said his tour of this coun- • ,• had convinced him that there was

' very great optimism in the United States" and that the people here were in a mood to disregard the figures of statisticians "which tell about the de- ' - ion." . „ .

-The optimism here is so great, he added, "that the people are able to fight against the signs of the depression, and that is the first step toward re- covery.

"In my opinion, the solution of the worlds troubles is an internationa agreement There has never been a real world economic convention and there is no use having one unless every one is in it on equal grounds."

Dr. Gruber said excessive tariffs were both the cause and the result or the depression, high tariffs imposed Dy some countries having eventually re- sulted in restrictive walls in other lands.

A large delegation of Polish-Amen- •ans of the metropolitan area was at •he West Fifteenth Street pier to say arewell to Dr. Gruber.

The announcement of the resigna- tion of Mrs. Fred Mabee was received this week through the office of Presi- dent Gray. The resignation will be effective in June. Mrs. Mabee will be remembered by the Bates students for her extra-curricula activities as well as her teaching in her five years as a member of the faculty.

She was graduated from Radcliffe in 1909, and received her M.A. from Columbia in 1928. Before coming to Bates she taught at Shanghai Univer- sity from 1912-23 as did her husband. Dr. Fred Mabee. This school is run under the auspices of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. From 1927 to 1930, when she came to Bates, she taught at State Teachers College at Hamburg, Virginia.

Mrs. Mabee's sincere work as ad- viser of the Y. M. C. A. has raised that organization to its prominent posi- tion among campus activities. She is also prominently connected with the Christian Club and other religious or- ganizations. Mrs. Mabee has suc- ceeded in all her helpful undertakings which included the sending of Dr. Storm on his missionary excursion through Arabia.

Men To Debate In Tournament Next Thursday

Committee's Definite Choice

To Be Announced In

Following Issue

Either Mai Hallett or Fletcher Henderson may furnish the music for the annual Commencement Hop on June 16 according to latest reports from the committee in charge of hiring a band. Both these orchestras will play at the Old Orchard Pier in the near future, Mai Hallett appearing there this coming Saturday and Hen- derson coming to the Pier on the 29th.

Throughout the past season Mai Hallett has been touring the South playing for numerous college proms and at outstanding ball rooms. Previ- ously he finished an engagement at the Kentucky Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky, where he displaced Hal Kemp. Henderson has been a well known radio performer for several seasons and is well known as the jazz-king of Harlem night clubs.

Final arrangements for hiring one of these are expected to be completed by the end of this week. Students and particularly Seniors are asked to reg- ister their preferences in the matter with the Commencement Hop com- mittee. It includes John Gross, chair- man, Betty Fosdick, Betty Durell, Madeline Mcllroy, Richard Tuttle, and Carl Milliken. o

PERRY BACKS OMAHA IN PLACE OF DOW

The class of 1936, Bates College is sponsoring a New Deal in formal dances, to open with Ivy Hop, on Tues- day evening. May 28th, at 8 o'clock. Satisfaction is guaranteed. No log- rolling or lobbying will be necessary to secure an unanimous vote of per- fection." The committee in charge feel certain that this affair will even be comparable to social functions as they are carried out in the state of Louisi- ana, and after reviewing the plans Senator Long cannot help being of the same opinion.

Billy Murphy's Arcadians, direct from a season at the Arcadia Ballroom on America's Great White Way uni- versally conceded to be one of the smartest bands ever to appear on the Bates Campus, attest to the superiori- ty of this dance.

The fragrance of natural flowers will make the warmest spring night seem several degrees cooler. No win- dows or doors, closed in order to pro- tect paper streamers, will shut out welcome breezes. Such an innovation

ust certainly receive male approval.

CJ Columbia University made public i sterday a reprint of a discussion of Where Does Academic Freedom Be-

" from the 1934 report of President Nicholas Murray Butler. The reprint was taken as the university s response to the memorandum of Clarence E. Lovejoy, secretary of the A umn. Fed- eration, charging that radlca a ';;- n the campus were alienat-n alumni support. ....

Dr. Butler held that "elaborate entific examination and comparative

Noted Author, Lecturer And Traveller Will

STUDENT RELATIONS WILL BE HIS TOPIC

Prof. S. Ralph Harlow of Smith Col- lege, a noted author, lecturer, and traveller, will be the guest speaker of the campus Christian Associations in the Chapel this evening

It is expected that his topic will he drawn from a field in which he is vitally interested, student relations in the north and south.

Distinguished Career Graduating in 1909 from Harvard

University, he entered the Union Theo- logical Seminary, New York, and then became interested in missionary serv- ice, acting as a professor at Inter- national College, Smyrna. He has been professor of religion at Smith for over ten years, during which he has built up a reputation as a speaker, having appeared at Chapel Services at Welles- ley, Vassar, and Mt. Holyoke. He has also spoken at several conferences and college religious association conven- tions. During the past several months on a trip in the south, he has appeared at colleges as a speaker no less than seventy times.

Informed on Racial Problems Mr. Harlow's special fields of inter-

est Include racial prejudice, interna- tional relations, and world peace. In his trip around the world and his sev- eral visits to Europe, he has made a special study of the race connections. As part of a course he gives at Smith, Prof. Harlow makes an annual trip to New York with his students to study trty.-iAir.'og'tiVe-visicrine- Binmrms' live at the Rockfeller International House, where 525 men and women from over 60 countries make their residence while studying in the New York col- leges and universities. The observa- tions made during the week there fur- nish material for class discussion at Smith for the next month.

This week Mr. Harlow will make his second trip to Lewiston. Four years ago he spoke at a United Baptist Church Young People's meeting on "Social Problems aud Christianity." o

With the State Series well under way, the Bates baseball team finds itself in the midst of plenty of base- ball as they play Bowdoin away, to- day, Colby at home, Thursday, and Colby away, Saturday. The outcome of these games will practically decide the series in so far as Bates is con- cerned.

The Bobcats should be able to beat Bowdoin. So far the Polar Bears have been knocked about by Colby and their opposition shouldn't be so much. Walker and Korakashian, however, are two pitchers who. when working right, will be hard to beat.

Colby presents the tougher foe. Colby has won 3 and lost 1 so far to lead the league. Two wins for Bates would turn the tables around and put Bates right on top. Colby's two ace pitchers, Farnham and Peabody, will doubtless work against Bates. Farn- ham was hit rather freely in the first game between these two clubs, but it remains to see if the same thing will happen twice. Colby, on its account, presents a veritable "Murderers' Row" as evidenced by the fact that they have slammed out 29 runs in the last two games.

The Bates pitchers to be used in these three games will more than likely be Darling, Stahl, and Clark. Just how Coach Dave Morey intends to use them Is unknown. Darling pitched good ball against Colby but slipped up against Maine. However Bob can pitch if he wants to, and once he gets going, he should be able to beat them all. Stahl pitched a good game against Maine allowing them six hits and only one earned run. Errors behind him gave Maine the other four runs.

In order for the pitchers to come through, however, it is necessary that the rest of the team do some hitting, especially in the pinches. Too many men have been left In scoring position thus far. Bates has only garnered eight hits in the last two games and must do better than that by far if they expect to win any more games. The line-ups for these coming games are unknown as it is expected that there will be some drastic changes in order to insert a little more punch in the batting order.

When a Constitutional set-up such as ours is instituted, it is extremely prob- able that certain procedures shall be provided which are experimental in nature and still others which are taken over wholesale from other institutions without particular regard for their adaptability to our own peculiar sets of conditions. It follows then that, as time goes on, these procedures will reveal flaws which may result in fric- tion and undesirable practices such as, unfortunately, have cropped out in our experience with student government on this campus. It is the purpose of this article to point out these flaws and to move that they be changed in accord- ance with the recommendations of the Constitutional Committee.

It Is significant of the five points we are going to consider that their weak- nesses have been startlingly demon- strated in the course of the past two years. We have seen class nominating committees select themselves as candi- dates for positions on the Council— Council members have been accused of insuring their own reelection by re- jecting nominees who appeared to be too strong—a small group of sixteen men has been allowed to obstruct the action of a large majority of the men to continue through three Constitu- tional Assemblies—and it is possible for a fourth choice man to become president of the Council and Assembly!

NOMINATING COMMITTEES In an attempt to give the classes

recognition as classes on the Council, the founders of the Constitution pro- . ided nominations for class representa- tives by class nominating committees. This provision has resulted in the re- grettable interference of class politics in the election of a body which is of primary concern to the men of the entire Assembly. It has resulted, as we have seen, in the self-nomination of members of the nominating commit- tees without regard for their fitness lor office or their acceptability by the class, let alone their ability to repre- sent the men as a whole! In an attempt to make the Student Council a council of all the students, the Committee pro- poses the following clause:

It shall be the duty of the men of the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes to select two delegates from their respective classes, and it shall be the duty of these six delegates to join with the president of the Student Council in forming a committee of seven. This committee of seven is to nominate three men for each position on the Student Council, and the nom-

inations from each class are to be sub- mitted to the respective classes. Each of the three classes, at a regular meet- ing of the men of the class, shall select from the list submitted to it two candidates for each position on the council. Each nominating committee shall place its list of nominees in the hands of the Student Council not later than March 10.

REELECTION OF COUNCIL MEMBERS

It is undeniably true that the mem- bers of the Council are delegated cer- tain powers which they could use to insure their reelection. In the first place, under the present provisions, the members are automatically re- nominated. Whether or not this pro vision in itself is undesirable is highly controversial; but, when coupled with the provision for approval of nomi- nations by the Council, it places In the

Seven Cum Laudes For Honor Students

The list of honor students for the class of 1935 was announced bv .the Lawrence in chapel this morning. Only Cum Laude awards were given this year and of the seven awarded, five were in the field of Chemistry.

Those obtaining the coveted de- grees are: Robert Anicetti of Lisbon Falls in Chemistry; Russell Fifield of Readfteld Depot in History and Government; Hilda Gellerson of Is- land Falls in Chemistry; John In- graham of Rutherford, N. J. in Chem- istry; Harry O'Connor of Hartford, Conn, in Chemistry; and Thomas Vernon of Lewiston in Psychology.

hands of the Council a control of elec- tions which is decidedly undemocratic and unrepresentative of student sym- pathies.

In order to remedy this condition, the Committee proposes that both of these powers be struck out of the Con- stitution, leaving as the only check on nominations, approval by the Faculty Committee on the Student Council. This check is justified inasmuch as the powers of the Council are derived from those delegated to it by the administra- tion.

AMENDING CLAUSE In the first of this series of articles,

significant revelations were made con- cerning the effect that the present two-

Prof. Seward Reviews The Recent Issue Of The Garnet For Student

By Prof. R. D. Seward In reviewing the excellent work in

the "Garnet" of this spring, I feel the distinct danger of following in the footsteps of a certain clergyman I once endured. He, being of decidedly low intellectual voltage, never did anything by way of preaching but blow the dust of a feeble paraphrase on each Bible verse as he read it, obscuring the beauty and significance to be found there.

What follows is in no sense an at- tempt at formal criticism, but a simple record of the reactions of one reader. Since the salient motif in this issue seems to be the understanding of dif- ferent types of person, a purely sub- jective treatment is perhaps the most appropriate.

I think that the finest contribution a writer can make is to help break down the barrier of mutual misunder- standing and indifference which too often keeps us exclusively engrossed in the petty circle of our own affairs. Of the twelve collaborators in this "Garnet," eight have given vivid glimpses of hearts and minds.

Sympathetic Understanding Mr. Lennartson cleverly flatters the

reader by making him feel capable of putting into clear words a near-tragic situation only dimly understood by the narrator. But the reader, even more than with his own perspicacity (after all, rather elementary), is pleased with a genial sense of sympathetic under- standing of these unpretentious per- sons whose weakness and whose strength the author has portrayed in a few telling lines.

Miss Richardson knows that the con- templation of future evils is often a source of calmness and of strength, rather than a sign of neurotic weak- ness. Far too many Americans choose to ignore the coming winter and naively "gaze In wonder at the deep- ening snow" when it arrives.

"From Dingle to Tralee" As seen by the go-getter, the elderly

man living in his dream world of be- loved books, is a figure for faintly contemptuous laughter. But with Miss Heath, many of us can feel that one of man's finest achievements is the ability to withdraw into a realm of mellow fancy.

From Dingle to Tralee"—In the presence of such an exquisite evocation of love, set in the fresh beauty of the west Irish coast, one feels, simply a surge of joy, as when looking out over a sparkling green valley on a spring morning. One loves Padrig, and the cry of the free soul of Eileen, the song- maker, is so beautiful and has so much truth in it that we hardly protest at her leaving.

Poetry of "Saudade" And still, the question presents

itself: can the poet go on through life, tasting its joys and sorrows in many situations, yet never held in any of them by the bonds that hold most men? Can he go on making cap- ital of the feelings awakened by cer- tain relationships without becoming insincere, a hollow echo of life from which he has cut himself off by a lack of loyalty? There is a poignant beauty in the poetry of "saudade" (the His- panic word for the bitter-sweet longing for distant persons and places one has loved), but if one comes to have only that, a certain fatal Impotence of the soul also arises.

Miss Isaacson's sonnet presents con- cisely what Is essentially the same tragedy as that Qf "From Dingle to Tralee": love between persons funda- mentally incompatible.

Stark Tragedy Mr. Dodson's "Sonata" forcefully de-

picts another stark tragedy, far too frequent in our country: that of the individual to whom, with the best of wills, nothing outside money and fame exists.

On One's Best Companion

ONE OF THE QUOTATIONS which we were able to hear Monday morning, impressed us as rather worth remember- ing. It was concerned with getting off by oneself; staying alone without feeling queer; and in so doing, develop one's

personal self. It is a part of good living that the undergraduate is too likely to overlook in these busy days.

Each person bears the title of person because he is different from all others and therefor a distinct personality. Our stay on this earth should be dedicated to developing this personality to its maximum growth. This will not be achieved if one's development is to be constantly moulded by the presence and influence of other mere

humans. •

We all ought give to ourselves liberal time in respect to this consideration. We need not always reach for the printed page when there is little else to do. We need not be afraid to stretch out on the new green grass or grayed moss. We need not be afraid to look idly through the short-leaved trees of May up to a cool blue sky. It gives us time for an unconscious check-up on ourselves. Yet we need not even think. Nature will provide sufficient instruction and value.

Remember always that the most pitiful man is one who cannot say, "I am my best companion."

GUEST EDITORIAL

TAKE ANY MORNING, any week of the school year. Make the time 8:40. Seven hundred students are walking, talking, letter- waving their way into the Bates College Chapel. Once seated the men and women make and break appointments over yards of pews.

Assignments are called out in tones far from whispering. My love sends out a sheepish early-morning smile to my lady across the aisle, six rows down. Every third person finds something to say to his neighbor beside, back or in front of him. The hum of activity and busy life is as pronounced as in the home office of an efficient life insurance company. But what are those grandiloquent sounds which in rhythmical harmony fill the building ? What are those sounds trying so determinedly yet unsuccessfully to fit into the scene? It is the devotional music as appropriate to the setting as "Pax Vobiscum" in "Broadway Melody".

We would not leave the impression that we object to religious serv- ices. A good philosophical makeup and sure belief about the matters which are beyond our understanding is a possession more valuable than any other in keeping a peaceful state of mind and a calm emotional behaviour. This possession is one which is not our"s to question but respect—and some of us—be envious of. For many, this so-desirable situation of out- look on the matters of existence is bound up with the traditional services of the church. For these we ought have but respect and what is most vital at this point, the courtesy to allow them to preserve their views unhampered.

The person with a certain religious philosophy, not necessarily fanatical but sufficient for himself without interfering with others, can- not hope to conserve his beliefs very successfully in such situations as the Bates chapel services have come to be. To call this fifteen minute interval of sociability and written-cramming, a period of worship is an insult to the faiths of those who have a definite spiritual outlook on life.

Our suggestions are not in the least new. We simply realize that "chapel" is a thing which must be of a voluntary nature. Its finest effects are completely destroyed by forced attendance. We do not know what attendance a voluntary service at Bates would draw. Perhaps not very great but if that small number had the opportunity to participate in a service toward which their inward philosophy invited without the disturb- ance of the indifferent, forced attendants, something would be gained in the nature of a real "chapel" service. Under our present system the entire student body gains almost nothing of that which a religious activity is intended to afford. '

This suggestion of voluntary attendance assumes that "chapel" as something m the nature of worship, prayer and devotional music is to be maintained. If these features are to be retained with any decent effect the atmosphere of their presentation must be changed.

It has been recommended in the past that three days a week the service should not be of a "chapel" nature but consist of speeches on practical affairs, musical programs, etc. We fell that this would only be a half step The present conditions of social and "chapel" forces conflicting would still remain for the remaining days of the week.

Two things can be done. The "chapel" period can be transformed into an ordinary required fifteen-minute assembly for giving announce- ments and offering whatever else may be of interest. Or it may retain its chapel features and abolish the provision that is responsible for its ineffective state—compulsory attendance.

No one would have to feel that anything radical was being done in either solution. Numerous other leading institutions have carried out substantial revisions of their former chapel procedures. Bates alumni associations would surely co-operate in recognizing that any movements in the directions indicated would indicate progress and that is something we ought never be in the way of.

The existing circumstances should not continue. We must at least try to do something about a bad situation. We are not criticising in a destructive mood. We are trying to be sportsmanlike in asking for study and eventual action in a situation which is meaningful to the prestige of the school and in obvious need of reform.

THE ELECTION of the editor of the "Student" last year was a thing of more than usual significance. The logical candidate

groUta TJT&^fferfcS miinuSSiSm^&M^^M 8ffi& student. However, because the administration felt that his attitude of frank and open opposition to many of its policies was undesirable, pressure was brought to bear upon the Publishing Association to the end that this man's appointment failed of confirmation. Student re- sentment against this palpably unfair treatment had little weight in the matter. The faculty stood pat, and said nothing. The defeated candidate, supposedly too something or other to edit the "Student," did outstanding work as a debater and was allowed to edit the col- lege yearbook, a position in which he would be harmless. The man who took the position, with the best will in the world, found himself facing a situation which challenged his self-respect to the breaking point.

At this point, some will say, "Why bring all that up again ?" "Because it seems to me that nothing was ever accomplished by refusing to face issues, and because the issues which we face at Bates College are clothed in flesh and blood." Disregarding the merits of this particular case, we may see that there are four groups with a stake in the matter. The administration, the faculty, the student body and the alumni of the college were seeking, each in its own way, to preserve what they felt to be necessary to the existence of the college. The administration was distrustful of criticism which might hamper the smooth running of the academic machine. The student body resented being treated as though its right to fair play was unimpor- tant. The faculty felt that security of employment was more important than fair play, with one exception. The alumni, represented by the administration, were anxious that Bates should become widely known and respected. If each of these groups had been of equal influence, a just settlement of the conflict might have resulted. However, the power to discharge faculty or to dismiss students is one which always carries the day, and this was no exception. The results of this arbitrary use of power are so evident that he who runs may read. So long as it is used thus arbitrarily there will be fierce student antagonism expressing itself in "unexplainable" outbursts at un- expected moments, or else what is much worse, indifference.

The responsibility of the officers of the college for its administration is a great one. To date the method of meeting that responsibility has been to decide that this or that may not be done, and then to enforce the decision by probation or dismissal. This fear technique has been note- worthy in its failure to accomplish anything.

College rules are the result of pressure by groups in a position to exert it. Thus the fury of enraged and conservative alumni has in certain cases led the administration to forbid participation in political activity under threat of expulsion. An intelligent approach to the problem of drinking or of the relationship of men and women on campus has been prevented because of the pressure upon the administration from alumni, trustees and other interested groups. The attitude of the Bursar's office on all matters is rapidly becoming legendary because of the necessity for keeping the trustees satisfied that things are being conducted economically. The antagonism of the faculty to changes in the credit marking system leaves Bates in the rear so far as modern education is concerned. Each of these groups exerts a certain amount of pressure, and the administration reflects just how much that pressure is in the way it administers the affairs of the college. But what of the students; have they no stake in the college? True they are not a vested interest Yet their's is most important of all, for each student has a stake of four invaluable and precious years of his life.

The student body has a right to challenge policies which have resulted in the breakdown of morale in many individuals, in the failure to harness the abilities of many fine campus leaders to any- thing more constructive than a water fight, and in repeated and con- tinued indifference on the part of the student body to campus affairs.

The student body, moreover should so organize itself as to give expression to its stake in the matter. No member of the faculty or administration can for long ignore the contempt which he sees in the faces of those who are under him. Mass pressure by the student body under intelligent leaders, is the only method by which its stake in the issues at hand can receive any just consideration. So long as the student body remains as apathetic as it now seems to be the admin- istration will continue to disregard student feeling in such matters.

Vote On Needed Reforms Next Week (Continued from Page 1)

thirds amending rule has had on ma- jority movements for constructive re- forms. It was pointed out that wilful minorities have and probably will continue to exert a dominating influ- ence on Constitutional Assemblies. To prevent such stalemates in the future, the Committee proposes the following amending clause:—

This Constitution may be amended by a vote by ballot by two-thirds of those present. A quorum for amending shall consist of two-thirds of the whole assembly.

DORMITORY ASSOCIATIONS The fourth point which we will con-

sider has been hashed and rehashed so many times that all that remains to settle it finally and completely is in- telligent voting on the part of the As- sembly. Dormitory associations were provided several years ago in an attempt to furnish machinery whereby some of the group spirit of fraternities might be instilled into our dormitory groups. However, the experiment failed utterly; and at the present time some of the functions of those associations have been taken over by proctors, thereby eliminating all necessity tor such bodies. The Committee urges the elimination of this dead material.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The last point wihich we shall con-

sider is one which two years ago was the center of a great deal of contro- versy; and last year again much of the criticism against the Council was di-. rected against the president who, it was urged, did not represent a ma- jority opinion of the men. Many felt that even this criticism was unjust; but, nevertheless, as the Committee ex- amined the provision for the election of the president, it discovered several possibilities that the president elected might not represent the majority choice In order to insure against such a contingency, it proposes the follow- ing procedure which will allow the in- dividual voter to express discrimina- tion in his choice for president-

In marking his ballot, each voter shall vote tor four candidates for senior membership to the Council checking one of these candidates (1)' as his choice for president. The can- didate with the largest number of first choice votes will be president. The candidate with the next largest num- ber of first choice votes will be vice- president. The same procedure shall be followed In electing the secretary- treasurer.

Campaign For Mayor Opens Next Week (Continued from Page 1)

in last year's campaign who ran on a platform embodying the following principles: No more telephone booths (a private phone in every room) . . . Two letters a day for every man who owns a box at Chase . . . Compulsory chapel with unlimited cuts . . . "DIG- NITY WITH DOW" was his slogan.

Dow Not to Run Dow, however, when interviewed

while sitting in his Ford in front of Chase last evening, issued the follow- ing statement: "I have decided not to run." B. Menduni Perry '35, well known campus commentator, in speak- ing of this political development, stated, "With Dow out of the running, I suggest that Omaha should be in the race."

Dow's voluntary withdrawal from the field opens up the way for other candidates who have perhaps been reticent about manifesting their candi- dacy with such a powerful campus luminary in the running. Other aspir- ing politicians may now throw their hats into the ring without fear, and nominees from the opposite side of the campus are to be encouraged.

Dark Horse Last Year Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors

well remember how the women's dark horse candidate, Clara Marshall, barely failed to emerge a winner last year .ii n-: a strenuous wmspering campaign by the co-eds on the night before elec- tion day. It is advisable, however, for all candidates to come out in the open and frankly state their stands on major Bates problems.

Important Problems Issues The campus problems that may well

play an important part in the coming campaign are prohibition enforcement, the need of ringers tor the baseball and track teams, new furnishings for the women's dormitories, straight cues in the pool room, sufficient copies of "Ballyhoo," "La Vie de Paris," and "Hooey" on reserve in the library, bet- ter walks along the river bank, substi- tutes for pre-views next year, the abolishment of personality grades, the deflation of inflated egos, and other sundry items.

Campaign speeches will be given on the steps in front of Hathorn Hall. The campaigns will be officially opened one week from today. Each of the candi- dates will make several speeches, and various supporters will also be given an opportunity to display their oratory.

Duties Mainly Social It is not known what the exact duties

of the Mayor will be, but it has been suggested that they will be mainly social—like the Vice President of the United States. He may be called on to be a referee at a crew race, to sub- mit recommendations for semester grades, to throw out the first line on the fishing trip, to assist in tying the ribbons on the diplomas before they are disposed of in the all-college scramble June 17. It is certain that the work will not be too burdensome. The biggest part of the job will be to get elected.

Freshmen Lead Baseball League

Take Secure Hold On First Place By

LAST YEAR'S CHAMPS ARE NEAR CELLAR

With both teams showing a reversal of form—Maine from its 15-8 drubbing received from Colby, and Bates from its 7-3 win over last year's champion- ship Mules—Coach Foxy Fred Brice's Pastimers shutout the Garnet baseball nine, 11-0, on Garcelon Field last Thursday afternoon.

Lanky Johnny Greene, from Pomfret, Conn., a University of Maine sopho- more pitched his first start in beating the Bates team, whom he limited to four bingles. Including two doubles. Greene though he was, the Main? pitcher was master of the situation throughout. Only one Bates man reached third. Gillis reached second on a two-base boot by Red Walton, Pale Blue third baseman; and was advanced to third on Stan Sherman's ground-out, but there Gillis stayed.

The summary;

"The Private"—Good realism. Let's go, boys!—The most damnable part of the whole business is that mild- seemtiis ending. A fellow gets resigned to being a soldier. Worse than that, he comes to take a certain joy in be- coming a cog in that vast slaughter machine, the army. That its aim is to inflict death, agony and destruction, all that fades away, one is no longer a man, one is only an unthinking au- tomaton, glad of being no longer i!.orally responsible.

Mr. Sutcliffe pungently brings out tl e irony of Maine's present day a.damation of Edward Arlington Rob- i: -on, and one infers there is ground tor believing that the poet doubted Us t fifty years had essentially im- proved the status of a poet in his native state.

that of Mr. Kenseth and Mr. Dodson stands out. The "Moods" of the former Bre ,-ood expressionism and his "Shad- ow in the Dark" gives an excellent

i of Early Romantic poetry. Mr. D ilsnn carries one along by the grace- ful rhythm of his lines, even though the thought is not very clearly defined,

cms to me true in the first of "Clau-trophobia." "Love and Can- lioii-'' is one of those sonnets which one wants to reread many times, one in which beauty and a single thought together have a power that few prose paragraphs ever attain.

Mr. Fifield's ironic pessimism is to world affairs has all too much basis ' i be funny, and Mr. Perry's amusing ' le of Louisiana is in reality a pene- 'rating study of the possibilities of "Hueyism." But as to Mr. Swallow's verse and prose, I could find no taint of propaganda: all of my muscles which contribute to a laugh got a good hit of exercise.

By their 9-5 victory over the Sopho- mores on Monday night, the Freshmen advanced into undisputed possession of first place in the annual inter-class twilight baseball league. The frosh have now won three contests, while they dropped only one—-that to the Seniors, 5-4, on May 6. Last year's pennant winners, the present Juniors, are now In a second place tie with the fourth year men. Both teams have, until Monday, won and lost two games. Although Bucky Gore has done some fine pitching for the luckless Sophs, his outfit is in the cellar with only one victory against three defeats.

The games this week should rather definitely establish the supremacy of one of the four clubs in the league. Tonight the Juniors and Freshmen mix it up; tomorrow night the Seniors take on the league leaders; and Friday the Juniors and Sophs play. The final league contest is set for Monday, May 27.

Frosh Debaters Conclude Matches

Against Lewiston Foster, Gould, Stewart, Smith,

In Final Contest Of Year—

Some Varsity Material

Tuesday evening the Freshman de- baters ended their season by debating Lewiston High School. The affirmative consisting of James Foster '38, and Richard Gould '38, debated with the Lewiston High negative; the negative composed of Paul Stewart '38, and John Smith '38, debated with Lewiston High's affirmative. "Federal Aid for Education" was the question which was discussed.

This year's Freshman class contains a large number of debaters, some of whom debated on the varsity squad and some on the Freshman squad. Among these debaters there are several varsity prospects, among whom are: Paul Stewart, James Foster, Grace Jack, and John Smith.

Milt McBride's wind-tossed hit to right field, and scored on Jim Sanborn's at- tempted sacrifice, which, landing on a pop-up just back of the pitcher's box, went as a single. The ensuing over throw of first base by pitcher Bob Dar- ling sent McBride across the platter, and put Sanborn on third, whence he tallied on a sharp single to center field by Al Bell.

Three more runs came in the fifth. A walk, three Garnet errors, and a hit tallied the counters, and a walk and another single left the sacks loaded as the inning closed.

At the start of the sixth. Verdelle Clark took up the mound duties for the home team, and was not nicked for any runs until the eighth. Two walks, a sacrifice hit, and three ringing doubles then added four markers for the eleven run total. Ed Murphy twirled the last frame, but was not scored on.

Bates will play hosts to visiting track forces again this Saturday when the newly-crowned state champions from Maine continue their friendly rivalry on Garcelon Field and the New Hampshire Wildcats attempt to make it a three-cornered battle for points against the Mainiacs.

The same balance of power that brought Maine the state title last Sat- urday should again produce a victory. Bates stands a somewhat better chance to win than in the state meet because New Hampshire's strongest events are also Maine's but it would be a decided upset if the Pale Blue should lose. New Hampshire has an outstanding per- former in its captain, Funston, but lacks all-around power and has small chance against the Maine running power and the Bates strength in the field events.

Funston has done 10 flat in the 100 and 22 flat in the 220 and should win both events as well as the low hurdles, which he has run in 24 seconds. The Maine and Bates men should monopo- lize most of the other places in the other events, however. Levansaler in the high hurdles, Downes in the 440, and Plummer in the two mile are probable scorers. Johnson in the shot put, Wittala, in the pole vault, and Tabor in the broad jump are the only three likely to score in ihe field events.

As the current Maine and Bates teams have already met twice during the year a pretty good idea has been gained on the comparative strength of the two outfits with Maine the proven superior. Goddard of Maine in the hurdles; K. Black in the 440; Marsh in the 880; E. Black in the mile; and Hunnewell in the two mile led home the Garnet runners in both meetings and are not likely to be upset. The Bates entries expected to place are Purinton, in both hurdles; Pendleton in the 440; Danielson in the 880; Saunders in the mile; and Stetson in the two mile.

Klshon should score from 13 to 16 points for Bates in the weight events by taking the shot put, discus, either first or second in the hammer, and a third in the javelin; Larry Johnson should be right behind him in the dis- cus and might take the hammer while Kramer ought to take third in the dis- cus. Lou Meagher will be highly fav- ored to take the pole vault while Kramer will once again meet Webb of Maine in a high jumping duel with the Garnet star favored on the strength of his victory in state meet over his highly regarded rival.

Keller will also have his hands full in the broad jump against Tabor of New Hampshire but should win if he approaches his old form. Maine's points in the field will probably come from Frame, who should place in the hammer and shot put; Hathorn in the pole vault; Webb in the high jump; Ireland in the high jump and broad jump; and Totman and Bell who should take first and second in the javelin.

Has 52 Points To 38-2/3 For Bowdoin, 34 For

Bates—Colby Last

A well-balanced Maine track team walked off with the state track and field title last Saturday on Garcelon Field as they rolled up an impressive total of 52 points. Bowdoin finished strong to nose out Bates for second place, 37 2/3 to 34, while Colby trailed far behind with 111/3 points. Tony Kishon showed himself to be the most versatile trackman in the history of the state when he won the discus, and the hammer throw, took second in the shot put, third in the javelin, and third in the broad jump. Bob Kramer and Lou Meagher won the high jump and pole vault respectively but barely failed in record attempts. Meagher's winning height was 11 feet 6 inches; Kramer's 5 feet 11 3/4 inches.

The Mile Run proved to be a good clean win for Colby's distance runner. Cliff Veysey, who took the lead at the half-mile mark and after a battle with Ernie Black of Maine on the back stretch broke the tape with yards to spare in 4 minutes and 26 seconds.

Brother Ken Black held up the fam- ily name by winning the 440 with about a five yard margin in front of Grey of Bowdoin who passed his team-mate Marvin in the last three yards of the fast race which was won in 50 4/5 sec- onds. Captain Frank Pendleton was boxed on the first straight-away, and therefore was never a determining fac- tor.

A new State record was established by Phil Good in the 120 Yard High Hurdles, when he scored a decided victory over Goddard of Maine and Royce Purinton of Bates. The time of 15 seconds betters the State record which was made by Ring of Maine and tied by Good in his Freshman year.

The century was an all-Maine affair with Murray, Goddard, and Huff finish- ing in that order in 10 2/5 seconds. The absence of Harry Keller of Bates in the morning trials really was the first indication that Maine would win the State Title.

Cliff Veysey added to his laurels in the Two Mile by leading the plucky Bob Porter of Bowdoin and Hunnewell of Maine in the good time of 9 minutes 46 4/5 seconds. From the start it was a triangular race among these three with Herbie DeVerber, Colby, and H. J. Stagg, Maine, falling behind the place winners on the fifth lap. Day Stetson and Paul Tubbs both ran good races, but the time was too fast for them to place.

The 880 Yard Run was won by Joel Marsh of Maine with Ken Black fol- lowing about five yards behind and with Art Danielson of Bates third. Bill Cole of Maine was in second place going into the home-stretch, but Black and Danielson had good kicks on the home-stretch.

Bates' heavy scoring came in the field events with Kishon the high point man of the meet. The blond Sopho- more nosed out his team-mate Larry Johnson, who was feet ahead of Maine's weight star. Frame. The dis- tance of 167 feet 5% inches failed to break the State record by only four- teen inches. He also won the Discus with a heave of 140 feet % inches ahead of Niblock and Johnson.

The spring play day is well under way. How would you like to have an A. A. riding demonstration instead of the game for everybody? Let's every- body turn out. It only takes 1% hours and there will be refreshments and awards!

Bowdoin Defeats Bates Netmen By Narrow 5-4 Margin

Bobcat Tennis Team Shows Unexpected Strength

In Close Match

Bowdoin defated a surprisingly strong Bates tennis team on the Bates courts yesterday by a score of 5-4 as Bates has previously defeated Colby 6-3, and Maine 5-4 while Bowdoin has disposed of Colby 9-0 so that the match gave a fair indication of how the teams will line up in the state tourney next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Bates.

The singles matches were divided three each but Bowdoin's superiority in the doubles gave them a well de- served victory. The final match was between Kibbee and Dana of Bowdoin and Buzzell and Kenseth of Bates. The Bowdoin men carried the first set 6-2 but bowed before a sustained rally of the Bates team to drop the second set 6-4. Starting to click in convincing fashion in the deciding set the Bow- doin combine ran off five games in rapid succession as Kenseth lost con- trol of his usually effective serve.

The game went to match point six times with first Kenseth and then Buzzell making amazing recoveries and finally taking the game. They took the next game in brillant fashion but Bowdoin rallied to smash through to take the next and final game for the match. Summary:

Ashley (Bo) defeated Paige (Ba) 6-1, 6-4.

Dana (Bo) defeated Revy (Ba) 6-0, 6-3.

Retchell (Bo) defeated Buzzell (Ba) 7-5, 6-1.

Carter (Ba) defeated Kibbee (Bo) 4-6, 6-2, 15-13.

Casterline (Ba) defeated Ashenazy (Bo) 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Reed (Ba) defeated Fitts (Bo) 6-2, 6-2.

Ashley and Bechtel (Bo) defeated Carter and Revy (Ba) 6-1, 6-4.

Reed and Casterline (Ba) defeated Fitts and Pack (Bo) 6-3, 6-0.

Kibbee and Dana (Bo) defeated Kenseth and Buzzell (Ba) 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.

Tennis Improves

Tennis is going over big this year at Bates and probably the reason is that Bates really has a good team. With a 6-3 win over Colby and a 5-4 win over Maine the defeat by Bowdoin on Monday was rather a tough one. In the Maine match Bates was trailing 4-2 in the singles play but made a grand come-back that was really sur- prising because the doubles playing has not been too strong. Buzzell and

Kenseth won the deciding•match in snlendid fashion and for a while Mon- day i? looked as if they might again bring Bates a victory but ^t in a hard fought three set battle. Reed, Carter and Casterline won their singles against the strong Bowdoin club and can be looked upon to make a good showing in the state tournamrat here next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes- day.

"Tough Lucker"

MERRILL & WEBBER COMPANY

PRINTERS-BOOKBINDERS 95-99 Main St., AUBURN, ME.

Jake Stahl seems to have the mis- fortune of being a tough luck pitcher. He has shown remarkable improve- ment in one year and would have had the better of the troublesome Maine Sophomore, Greene, in Monday's game if it had not been for errors. One tough thing for any team to do is to travel over 100 miles before a game as they did Monday. The team thought they were being mistreated when they had to return that night but in reality they were only getting down to the

level of the track team. We recall two years ago when the team traveled to Maine in the morning, ran at night, and returned after midnight.

Yet the Athletic Association is to be congratulated for the remarkable way it can keep going, unsupported by the college, with poor gates, and not too large membership dues. Perhaps a larger membership dues, enabling a better athletic program, better teams, better gates, and more students is the answer.

40 Cent Admissions

An interesting experiment will be tried this Saturday when a bargain admission of 40 cents will be charged for the Maine-New Hampshire meet. Whether or not the public responds to see such a good meet at that price

may affect admission prices in the future. Also student coupon books may be discarded next year for a simple identification card. Which means that students will be identified at the gate doing away with outsiders chizeling in on student books.

Girls simply can't be beautiful but dumb, the dean of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and the dean of Temple University (Philadel- phia) claim, because they say the two things are incompatible.
