CJIICAAO ' SOITOa ' Los ANSILtS • SAH FRANCIKO Will We Remember? by D. BLOCK and R. NEVIUS In 1770 a son was born to a tipsy tenor and his wife, a simple servant of the Elector of Cologne who was to burst the musical bonds of his predecessors and forge new achievements in the musical world. Part of his work was to be done while he was unable to hear. All of his life he was to be considered an oddity by his family which placed a good deal of emphasis on being anstandige Burger—respectable citizens. His gruff manners and manner of saying things offended those polished aristocrats who supported artistic life and his music was to cause them to wonder. The man, naturally, was Ludwig von Beethoven. If he were living in twentieth century America he would be considered a Leftist or a Red. In a society steeped in tradition and fearful of revolution he was an early supporter of the French Revolution and of Napoleon. In his biography of Beethoven, Hendrik Van Loon writes "In his younger days, full of hope and enthusiasm for the cause of liberty and equality, he had written a symphony in honor of General Bonaparte, the prophet of these new revolutionary ideals. Then General Bonaparte made himself the Emperor Napoleon, and liberty and equality were removed from the battle flags of the Republic. The will of a single capital letter N was henceforth to be the law of an entire continent. Whereupon Ludwig von Beethoven, the old radical, took the manuscript of his symphony (the third one as we now count them) and scratched out all reference to the Judas who had betrayed the cause of popular government. He scribbled across the cover: 'A Heroic Symphony to Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man.' And in this way. Napoleon's final obituary was written 3, dozen years before he suffered defeat at Waterloo.' His sympathies were with the people, not the "gilded lackeys" who understood neither the cause of popular government nor his music. College life is all too short for those of us who live it to the hilt. There have been times in our tenure on the hill when we became discouraged, but now, as our four years draw to a close, most of us feel a touch of remorse in that Lafayette will soon become a memory. We entered as boys; we leave as young men. We will return often, because what we owe our college cannot be expressed in a few words—if at all. We may look at a building or a dorm or a fraternity house and wistfully say to ourselves, "there lies my youth." A man's college is the symbol of his youth and the early aspirations of greatthe symbol ness that accompany it. There he spends what of youth can be, if he so wishes, the four most stimulating and ennervating years of his life. Whether campus leader, athlete, scholar, or goodtime Joe, Beethoven never felt the urge we all have memories which we leave in these halls of to travel beyond the borders of his own country, to enrich his art. Lafayette. We who have worked close to the heartbeat of this college—its newspaper—visualize our four years in terms of big scoops, banner-lines, and just plain hard work—a legacy which we now pass on with "every good wish to our successors. It seems like only yesterday that as wide-eyed frosh we went out on our first assignment. We can recall our first interviews with the Deans and 'Hutch,' of misquotes and bylines, of editorial screams for "accuracy" and good lead paragraphs. We saw the editors as semideities— it was a healthy relationship. As we we looked up at the gods on Mt. Olympus, we wonlooked dered if we could ever make the grade. We reup member working 12 to 15 hours every week, sleepless nights, and suffering marks. But we had a vision and we stuck by it. And it wasn't really work. Rather the enjoyment and stimulation of journalistic creation captivated us. Our Olympus was 303 Pardee. In classifying each year by its headlines, we remember a freshman year when a football victory was as rare as snow in July, when fraternities lined up on dorm balconies to get men for rush dates. Then came the year of the firebug when the Leopard Club, West College, and several fraternities felt its destructive sting. Then headlines we were juniors. We remember the nearto remember victory over Princeton, of I-F's tremendous and I-F's frustrating, of an issue that had to be burned. Suddenly we were seniors and we began to look back over our shoulders. It had been a long road but the transition had been rapid. And then came the unfortunate Norton episode, the Olin gift, the NIT and the day we had our last tuition bill paid. Yes, it had been exciting. There was so much to do we wished we had had more time. But our lives were full and so were our hearts. Will we remember it? How could we forget. the part of either welcome friends or unwelcome admirers." The money which he earned he squandered—on his relatives. "Garrets are common enough in the history of arts," writes van Loon. "Loneliness is part of the penalty every true artist pays for being different from the rest of his fellow men. But surely few people have lived as strange a life as this scowling and uncouth barbarian whose manners were those of a Flemish peasant, whose soul was that of a sensitive child, and whose vast genius created a newsort of music of such stark beauty and such vast dimensions that our .-n little everyday world seems to rattle around in it like one pea in a pod." In his music he expressed his political ideals and his greatest work, his Ninth Symphony, was to state his belief in the ultimate victory of mankind over its oppressors. "No longer is destiny knocking at the gate as it did in the Fifth Symphony. No longer is the master concerned about the fate of a hero, his failure or success, as he was in the Eroica. No longer does he occupy his mind with the beauties of nature as he had done in the Pastoral symphony nor does he try to write the apotheosis of the dance, which found its fulfillment in the Seventh. He leaves all these common concerns behind him. In his Ninth Symphony the man who has been recognized as the most versatile manipulator of orchestral effects goes back to the oldest of all instruments. He goes back to the human voice to give expression to his unshakable faith in that freedom of the spirit which all through his life had been his dearest and proudest possession." And this greatest of his works the composer didn't hear. "His destiny and his self-appointed task" were performed without the deaf Beethoven hearing the grandeur of his own music. In silence he poured out his creation, born out of the belief in the dignity (continued from page one) the society must have at least 12 hours of history and show outstanding work in the field as well as maintain a high scholastic average in related subjects.

PACE T H S U LAFAYETTE "Blithe Spirit," a comedy by Noel Coward, opens Tuesday in the Little Theatre, The cast stars Hunter Garbee, supported by Marie Heath and Peggy Forss. One of Coward's most noteworthy hits is this appealing farce, which has sustained popularity throughout the world ever since its triumphant runs in New York and Loncion. Calling the comedy "an improbable farce," Coward bases his description on the circumstance of a first wife returning from the "great beyond" to taunt a husband who is belaboring himself with a second marriage. The play is a fantastic piece of nonsense, peopled with absurd Cow- ardian characters and spiced with the special kind of wit for which the author is famous. Top Comedy Coward has written many plays, most of which have been comedies, among them, "Private Lives," "Design for Living," "Hayfever" and "Post Mortem." His plays have featured stars such as Gertrude Lawrence, Tallulah Bankhead, Laura Hope Crews, Donald Cook, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine. Lunt and Fontaine are presently starring in Coward's newest Broadway hit, "Quadrille."

In A league the Phi Gams and the Sigma Nus have completed their seasons with identical records, and engaged in a playoff game this Thursday night. In B league the late season surge of the DU squad has led to a three way tie for first place in that loop. By defeating the Phi Taus Monday night, 47-41, the DUs threw the championship wide open, with the Kappa Sigs, Phi Taus and themselves all ending with 6-2 records. Finally with one second left in the overtime period, Tom Morgan of DU dropped in two foul shots, thus breaking the tie and giving the game to the DUs. It must be remarked during the game both squads utilized fine zone defenses, as indicated by the 27-25 score. Jed Daniel and Marty Siegel led the Phi Taus with 12 and 9 points respectively while Don Divine sparked the DU cause with 11 and Chuck Hall had 8. Dick Bowman played fine defensive ball for the DU's, as he came from nowhere on several occasions to sweep the boards or steal a deflected pass. DU Tops Phi Tau These three squads drew lots for an elimination set-up, and once again Tuesday night the DUs met the Phi Taus. This game see-sawed back and forth and as the final whistle blew the score was tied, Playoffs Thursday Thursday night marked the playoffs between the Phi Gams and the Sigma Nus. and the DUs and the Kappa Sigs.

You'll find out why college smokers prefer Luckies to all other brands, as shown by the latest, greatest college survey. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
