The largest student attendance
at chapel this year came to hear
Jimmy Foxx, veteran first baseman of the Boston Ked Sox, yesterday.
Foxx told of his experiences
while touring with the All Star
team in Japan .several years ago.
Particular emphasis was placed on
his stay at a Japanese hotel in a
community seldom visited by foreigners. His description of
tho
strange customs of the Japanese
greatly appealed to the student
body.

For 1939 War,
Eddy Declares
The speaker was brought to the
campus by the Brainerd Society
and was introdueed by Charlie Berry, Lafayette all-American of a
f e w years back and later a bigleaguer himself.
Foxx gave good adivce to anyone wishing to enter big league
baseball. He said that if you did
not make the major leagues after
three years it was time to quit,
for a minor leag^ue player only
earns about $1200 a year. According to Foxx, baseball can be used
as a stepping stone to becoming a
successful professional man. He
said that anyone with any promise
can earn enough money to begin
a good practice and get off to a
good start.
Japs Like Bateball
Foxx stated that baseball had
a very large following in Japan,
and was taken much more seriou.sly. 500,000 fans turned out for
the 18 games played there. In the
Philippines the All-Stars
found
playing in such a warm climate a
great strain. There the weather is
considered extremely cold if the
thermometer registers 73 degrees.
They played a double-header in 135
degree heat.
Foxx claimed that the larger
cities of China were very modern
and that Shanghai more closely
resembled New York than any
other city he's ever been in.
About 75 students came to
Brainerd in the afternoon to hear
a discussion lead by Foxx.
Bill
Coughlin was there to help Foxx
in the discusision. There was no
special topic but all questions were
answered.
Foxx thinks that the Yankees
are overestimated, believes Ruth
was better than Dimaggio; he doe.^
not know who will win the pennant.
Foxx interspersed his comments
with witty stories to make the discussion even more interesting.
A P O Plans Probe
Into Restaurants,
O t h e r Activities
Definite plans have been adopted
by Alpha I'hi Omega in its investigation of local eating establishments. The first step will be the
distribution of cards in chapel to
ascertain whether the students in
general are dissatislied and what
if so with what specific things.
.According to the publicity chairman of AI'O this .step is taken to
be sure that there is a student demand for the investigation. "W.'
want to make certain that wc
have more grounds to proceed on
that a blurb by a columiat in the
Lafayette."
At the same meeting on Tuesday evening in Brainerd Hall other
committee reports were presented.
The Importations Committee under
Fred Kirby, '42, reported that it
hoped to supply girls from Cedar
Crest, Centenary Collegiate Institute, and Moravian for
future
Brainerd dances.
Research Shop
Joseph Coons, '42, reported that
the Student Research Shop in
Markle Hall was under way this
year. Any students who are interested in working in the shop should
tee an APO man for further information. There are two requirements for eligibility. The student

Maroon leather-covered

and similar to those of the last
two years have been chosen as
favors for the coming Interfraternity Ball, according to Edward
Ellison, '40, chariman of the favors committee.
Joseph Kernell, '40, president
of Interfraternity Council, stated
last night that no definite scheme
for decoration has yet been decided. Last year an Arctic motilT
with snow, icicles, and igloos were
used.
Although a list of chaperones
was not announced for publication, Kernell said that Invitation-i
have already been extended and
that replies are expected before
next week.

Toller's *No More Peace' Opens as Hit;
Ritter, Latta,Schaefer Star In Comedy
By Leo Lawrence
The Lafayette Little Theatre
presented a surprisingly good production in an experimental venture into the field of satirical comedy last night when a small but
elite first night audience witnessed Ernst Toller's prophetic
"No
More Peace."
Despite the difficulties offered
by the vehicle which provided no
continuity of interest or more than
superficial character portrayal, the
cast under the direction of Director Robert V. Burdick, '29, developed the excellent opportunities
for satirical comedy provided by
Toller's clever dialogue.
Outstanding in the play was the
work of Henry Ritter, Jr., '41, as
Napoleon, Robert Latta, '42, as
Cain, the barber who became a
Britain and France are responsible for a heavy share of the
blame for the present European
war although Adolf Hitler deserves
the immediate blame, according to
Prof. William W. Eddy in his lecture to a Community College audience in Kirby Hall, Monday
night.
Professor Eddy's topic was
"Europe - 1914 - 1919 - 1 9 3 9 Roots of the Present Conflict." He
maintained that the roots of one
war are to be found in those of the
previous one, as well as its settlements or its failures.
Professor Eddy said in part:
"So for this present conflict one
must turn to the Great War of
1914, its causes, and the Versailles
Treaty.
These are humiliations
which a great state such as Germany had inflicted on her by the
terms of the Versailles Treaty, especialy the reparation demands of
the Allies. This was also a factor
in the rise of Hitler and the Nazi
Party to power in Germany, as
he promised the Germans that the
Versailles 'dictate' would be destroyed.
EDDY

wartime dictator a la Hitler, and
George Schaefer, '41, as Laban,
the banker who was tipped off that
the war was a fake by Angel 1100,
played charmingly by Miss Mary
Jane Cuskey.
The play demands close attention from the audience as the meat
is in the dialogue with its biting
satire and not in the plot which
fails to arouse much interest.
The scenes take place on Olympus, a farcial treatment of heaven,
in the City hall of Dunkelstein, a
small European country, and in a
Dunkelstein prison.
Napoleon finds existence
in
Olympus boring with only St.
Francis and Angel 1100 as diversion and sends Laban a telegram
announcing the declaration of war.
Laban receives the telegram in the
midst of a pompous scene in which
war is being outlawed — with provisions — and the reign of peace
proclaimed. The speeches of a
few seconds ago provide no problem, however, and the sign on the
war proclaiming "No More War"
is exchanged for one
reading
"Long Live War."
The frustrated Cain is made
dictator of Dunkelstein on the basis
of his previous war record — he
was a sergeant (sic Hitler). Immediately the barber Cain become.s
the dictator by donning a uniform
complete with medals.

Extended censorship, the negative aspect of propaganda, was attacked by Dr. Theodore B. Hunt
in Monday's convocation.
"Propaganda tells us what we
are to think," averted Hunt. "Censorship tells us what we are not
to think." He declared that censorship
violates the democratic
ideal of equality to know and to
testify.
Dr. Hunt cited three rules which
he believes should be used to limit censorship:
1. Avoidance
of
censorship
legislation for
adults,
ana for
children and the sub-normal simultaneously.
2. Honest
advertisement
of
all entertainment.
3. A knowledge on the part of
the people as to what is censored
and why.

Henry Ritter, ' 4 l , and Bill Piatt,
'40, co-chairmen of tho affair are
hoping for a big turnout to dance
to Lou Goodman's band.
Ritter announced that the chaperones will be Mr. and Mrs. William Reaser, Prof, and Mrs. Finlay
Smith, Prof, and Mrs. Robert
Crosen, and Prof, and Mrs. Harold
Streeter. President and Mrs. William Mather Lewis and Dean and
Mrs. Theodore A. Distler have
also accepted invitations to
be
present.
Rutgert Notified
The committee sent letters to the
leaders of the Rutgers
student
body explaining about the dance
and inviting all the students who
come to the game to be present.
A date bureau was temporarily
established for three days and the
limited number of dates offered
were immediately dated. It is hoped
by those in charge that the bureau
will be able to continue for future
affairs.
Dance in Gym
The gym will be decorated with
large pennants as well as maroon
and white and black and scarlet
crepe motif. The fratemity houses
are contributing some
furniture
and lamps for the affair.
Refreshments will be served. It
is hoped that the dance will be well
supported by all the members of
the college.
Other Plans
Other men just admitted, "We
include the annual fratemity house
decoration contest, and a football
rally.
The rally for the Rutgers game
will take place Friday night in
front of Brainerd. There will be
a grand march around the campus
and then back to Brainerd where
the cheerleaders and the band will
lead cheers and songs. Dr. Crosen
will deliver a 'pep' talk.
Fraternities are still extremely
vague in their plans for the decoration contest promoted by KRT.
Reports from fratemity
men
seemed to run like
this: "Well,
there's going to be a big sigh
( P s i ) , and a Rutgers man hunting,
and-a-oh! But we've decided
to

Other men just admitter, "We
really won't know what it is ourselves, until we get the thing finished."

REASONS FOR BEATING RUTGERS
campus who doesn't remember last year's defeat at
the hands of Rutgers. It was an undeserved defeat,
the only touchdown of the contest coming in the
opening minutes of play when Harvey, Rutgers end,
blocked Bellis' kick on the 20 yard line and Cooke
picked up the ball and covered the distance to the last
stripe.
That game was the only blot on an otherwise
successful season, the Maroon losing to only Penn and
Brown to complete the trio of setbacks. And it certainly was no disgrace to lose to the Penn and Brown
teams of 1938.
This year, the situation is a bit different. Rutgers
is unbeaten, and boasts of a decisive victory over
Maryland, to say nothing of a tie with a strong Richmond outfit. Lafayette has but two victories in six
starts, and is without a major victory. It is an old
Lafayette understanding that if the Maroon beats
Rutgers and Lehigh, the season cannot fail to be a
success.
There are three incentives to inspire a victory
over Rutgers Saturday: Rutgers' unbeaten record
must be smeared; last year's unfortunate defeat must
be avenged; and Lafayette must win the Little Three
title that they lost to the Scarlet last year.
The Department of Athletics anticipates a large
Homecoming Day crowd, even to the extent of erecting additional temporary stands. Let's hope they
are all filled, and that the fans who turn out will see
Maroon jerseys in the Scarlet backfield and swarming over the Rutgers goal.
Row across that Raritan, Rutgers, we're waiting
on the other side!
NO DOCTOR?
We hope that it was merely an oversight on the
part of the athletic department tJiat no doctor or
trainer was provided for the 150-lb. football game
with Cornell Saturday. Absence of a doctor at this
game left Lafayette in an embarrassing position, to
say the least. The fact that a visiting Cornell player
was carried from the field without first receiving medical attention is a distressing commentary on the
neglect which has been accorded the 150-lb. football
team.
Fortunately, no harm resulted to the Cornell
player from the lack of medical attention. But it may
not always be so. The Cornell player suffered a
broken leg and a doctor on the field certainly would
have done him no harm. The point is, however, that
the player may have suffered from something more
serious, demanding immediate medical attention.
Last week THE LAFAYETTE asked that the
150-lb. team be given the right to use Rsher Field.
This request was granted and we hope it will remain
a regular policy.
This week we ask that a doctor or competent
trainer be on hand for all 150-lb. football games. If
Lafayette is to play in the elite of 150-lb. football
leagues we must live up to the standards of other
teams in the league.

ACP Release—With all elements
of the nation ardently campaigning for one side or another in the
current debate over the United
States' position in world situation
college students are strongly asserting their views on just what
should be done to clarify their
country's stand on international
politics. Here is a summary of most
recent polls—a summary that tells
you just how the wind is blowing
so far as the nation's undergraduates are concerned:
1. A little more than 58 per cent
of the college youth favor the
move of the U. S. senate in voting
repeal of the embargo against
shipment of arms to foreign nations.
2. However, when it comes to
the question of furnishing military
aid to the allies (Britain
and
France) if thoy face defeat, collegians vote 68 per cent against
sending our men and machines
across the Atlantic.
3. The above vote is despite the
fact that 91 per cent of the undergraduates voting favor the cause
of the allies against the totalitarian
alliance.
4. In keeping with the expressions given above, 96 per
cent
voted in the "no" column when
asked if they thought the U. S.
should enter the present European
war. In fact, 78 per cent indicated

Library Gets New Books
A large number of the
new
books received by the Van Wickle
Library in the past month or
two are either directly or indirectly Library gets related to
the
present chaotic situation in Europe.
Several of these are especially
timely, in that they throw interesting light on the causes of the war.
In this category are "German's
New Religion;" "War in Our
Time;" "Europe on the
Eve,"
which reveals some of the civilization-destroying actions of the
dictators as far back as 1 9 3 2 ;
"Men Against Hitler," written by
a German who has been striving
for the past seven years to organize his people against Hitler;
"Poland, Key to Europe;" and
"Born of the Storm," a novel depicting the struggle of the Ukrainian people against Germany and
Polish oppreasion.
In the field of science there are
two new publications of interest to
the average American.
One is
"Fads and Quackery in Healing,"
which relates the amazing story of
the modem health fakers.
The
other, "Of Ants and Men," is a
Scientific Book Club selection.
Among the many other recent
additions to the library are "A
Confidential History of Modern
England," a very comical book by
the noted cartoonist Soglow; Wilder Hobson's "American Jazz Music;" a collection of the 50 best
American short stories written
since 1914; "Daniel Boone, Master
of the Wilderness;" "The Importance of Living," in which a
Chinese philosopher gives Americans some sage advice on how to
live; 'The Fine Art of Propaganda'
a study of Father Coughlin's
speeches; Freud's latest book,
"Moses and Monotheism;" and an
extremely relevant book, "Democracy by Thomas Jefferson."

their general glow of pleasant anticipation. And that
thought is the vision of the exorbitant hotel bill which
will confront them after the dance is over.
,
Hotel accommodations in Easton during dance
week-ends are deplorable not only because of excessive rates far above the budget of the average student
but also because of inconvenience caused by lack of
good rooms and the constant journeying between the
campus and the down town hotel.
The solution to this problem seems to be the adoption of the week-end system now in effect at a number
of colleges whereby the students move out of three or
four fraternities and double up in the others, leaving
the vacant fraternities for their dates. This plan has
worked well at Dartmouth and a number of other
colleges and should work here if properly organized.
Adoption of the plan is an important step and
should be carefully considered. An investigation of
the possibility of such a system is already underway
under the direction of several members of Student
Council.
We feel sure that the plan will receive support
of the officers of Interfraternity Council and Student
Council.
What are we waiting for? If the plan is to be
put into effect this year Student Council should immediately appoint a committee to work with Interfraternity Council and a faculty committee in drawing
up a detailed outline of the operation of the system.

Good evening men of Lafayette.
A. Biggs Snooper is feeling very
mild tonight. All his claws have

that all one has to do to correct
minor abuses or institute advantageous reforms is to suggest them
to the proper faculty member, and
if there is enough interest in the
matter—presto! it's accomplished.

To one great phrase-maker,
college is the apprentioeship of life.
To us, college means all
this, and more, too. It
means study and research,
athletics and activities,
community living and bullsessions, parties and performances, classes and
examinations, grades and
graduation. Add to these
the thousand and one events
of a college career, and you
get the true answer to
•What is College?'

Lehigh Only Hurdle in Harriers' Way for Undefeated Campaign
Sparks,McCanc€ Snap Tape
As Haverford BowS/ 2 0 - 3 1
Two Maroon shirted harriers
matched stride for stride over the
leaf strewn campus course to finish
in a tie for first and defeat Haverford 20-31.
Coach Mike Miller's charges
captured four of the five first
places, Captain Sparks and Ed McCance finishing in a tie for the
number one spot with Larry Savadkin coming in third. Captain Pooie
of Haverford was the first of the
visitors to finish; he came in fourth
in 21:31.
Once again Sparks and McCance
showed their ability on the hills.
It was on Pardee slope and the
hill back of March Field that the
Maroon harriers opened up gaps
and proved their superiority.
If they remain undefeated after
their final meet of the season Friday, the team will, according to
Coach Miller, receive major letters. Only by virtue of an undefeated season can members of a minor
sport team receive major letters.
Friday's meet will also renew
an old dual which started four
years ago. Three times during this
period Sparks has waged a battle
with Whitey Elmer of Lehigh and
each time the Brown and White
ace has won. The meet this Friday with the Engineers will therefore have a dual significance.

Leopard J.V.'s
The J. V. football team was defeated in its opener by
Lehigh
J. v . , 12-0, on March Field yesterday.
The team, coached by Johnny
Quigg. varsity center, was handicapped by the lack of substitutes
and only two weeks practice. The
nearest the Leopard Cubs came to
scoring was in the third period
when Ed Simon broke through
center for 20 yards but dropped
the ball on the Brown and White
12. The Maroon opened a drive
late in the last period but the
game ended with the ball on the
Lehigh 15.
Lehigh scored in the second and
fourth periods. The ftrst was made
by a run through center by the
Lehigh quarterback. He was tackled as he went over the goal line.
A pass caught deep in the end zone
accounted for the Scarlet's second
tally.
'Red' Morgan starred for the
Maroon. He was taken out of the
game in the fourth period after
an injury to his head.

Intramural football and soccer swung into the last
few days yesterday, and activity in both sports became
feverish, and scores became lower a n d lower.
The bitterest fight is going on in the football leagues,
especially between the Phi Gams and the K. D. R.'s. The
Rabbits hold down first place a t this time, but the Phi
Gams are breathing hot on their backs, having dropped
but one game. The K. D. R.'s are undefeated. The Phi
Gams are the heaviest scoring t e a m on campus, having
amassed a total of 90 points to their opponents six.
Informal practice for the varsity basketball team beg^an last

A highly touted Quaker soccer
team downed the Leopard squad
in a very close battle by 2 to 0.
The Penn scoring came in the second half when Kroupa, a substitute, performed the honors with
one goal per period.
The Maroon played their best
game of the season but it seemed
that Lady Luck was against them.
The first goal was scored in the
third quarter on a lucky play in
front of the goal by Kroupa. This
seemed to inspire the Lafayette
team and they kept the ball in
the Red and Blue territory most of
that half by sheer man power. The
forward
line, sparked by Lord,
kept hammering at the goal of the
Quakers but their goalie was unbeatable and a good many shots
were wild.

Newcomen Society
Meets Here, Nov. 17
Delegates of the Neiwcomen Society of Engineers and Technologists, attending a regional meeting at Bethl^ero, i^ill apen4 the
greater part of Kov. 17 on the
Lafayette campus.
The Newcomen Society was organized in England for the study
of the history of engineering and
technology, but several American
branches have formed, which hold
regional meetings all over the
United States.
Delegates will first meet at
Kirby Hall at 11:00, after which
they will attend the noon convocation, featuring an address by
President William Mather Lewis,
a vice-president of the society. The
Lafayette Singers will take part in
the program.
F. V. Larkin, of Bethlehem, another vice-pteaident, will speak on
"Early Industry in the Lehigh Valley," at a luncheon in Brainerd at
12:30. President Lewis will preside.
Tours of the cement and slate
belts will be made in the afternoon, and in the evening a formal
dinner will be held at the Hotel
Bethlehem.
Several members of the engineering faculty will attend the
meeting.
Anxiety on the part of the
sophomores and confidence on the
part of the freshmen marked sentiment toward the coming ribbon
rush, Saturday.
Contra.st the following statements from the presidents of the
two classes:
Said Fred Kirby, '42, "It is
particularly requested that all
sophomores turn out for the rush,
since another win for the freshmen would mean certain loss of
the cup for the sophomores."
Jack
Bryant, '43, confided
"We'll all be out fighting for that
third win. And we'll win by all
means if we have a good turn-out.
There's plenty of apirit in our
class."
When Bryant was asked if he
did not want to make a plea for
a turn-out, he repliedj "I don't
have to urge 'em, I know we'll all
be there. We're going to get that
cup."
The rush has been planned by
KRT, and will be conducted by
Maroon Key.

" A n o t h e r factor in his rise was
the world depression
of
1929
which contributed to the final ruin
of the German middle class."
Cite* Causes
Professor Eddy .*aid t h a t the
underlying causes of the w a r of
1914 w e r e : economic imperialism,
entangling alliances, militarism, the
press which inflamed public opinion, and nationalism, especially tho
rise of Balkan nationalism
and
I'an-Slavism.
The Versailles T r e a t y
settlement which ended the w a r and
which has been blamed for the
present conflict, can be considered
in the light of the above four
points and the a t t e m p t to remedy
or remove them.
The chief flaws of the Versailles
T r e a t y was named by
Professor
Eddy as follows: a m a n d a t e system
u n d e r control of the victors taking over all of Germany's colonies,
a Le.igue of Nations formed lo
end the old alliance system which
pare to execute Socrates who has
been sent as the voice of reason
to end the war.
At last, however, the w a r is
ended, mostly because Angel 1100
wanted a pair of new
Parisian
wings.

THE PICK OF THEM ALL
FOR
IS Chesterfield because of its right combination
of the best American and Turkish tobaccos
-tveal mildness is more important in a
cigarette today than ever before because
people smoke more now than ever before.
That's why so many smokers have changed
to Chesterfield . . . they are finding out that
for Real Mildness and Better Taste the pick
of them all is Chesterfield.
You'll find that Chesterfields are cooler,
better-tasting, and definitely milder
, e e you can't buy a better cigarette.
