HOBART MITCHELL
Mitchell Will
Sing Here at
Friday Chapel
Friday's chapel program will
feature as guest soloist, Hobart
Mitchell, New York concert baritone, who is returning to Lafayette after an absence of three
years. His last concert at this
campus was on Nov. 5, 1948.
Mr. Mitchell has had an interesting and unusual career as a
singer. While he was still a student at the University of Rochester, he began singing on local
dates and was heard in a weekly
solo spot over the Rochester airwaves.
F o l l o w i n g graduation, he
launched his career by conducting
a "vagabond" journey throughout
the United States. Then, Mr.
Mitchell expanded his itinerary to
include such points as Mexico

Hillel Society
Begins Meetings;
Officers E l e c t e d
An appeal for friendship between the United States
and Iran was expressed by Dr. Alayor Soleh of Iran to a
mixed group of Iranian and Lafayette students and other
interested people Saturday night in Watson Hall. This
affair was included in the Cultural program scheduled for
that evening as part of the weekend program for Iranian
students at Lafayette.
Dr. Soleh presented a profound insight on the background of the present oil-ownership controversy in Iran.
He brought out the Iranian side of the question with the
conclusion that the British government did not have a leg
to stand on. His colleague. Dr. Hassibi, who is the Deputy

Minister of Finance in Iran, gave
a detailed history of the AngloIranian relations up to the present crisis and stated that the British had failed to live up to the
various agreements with
the
Iranian government.
Lafayette Contributors
After the chapel service on Sunday at the closing session of the
program. Dr. Soleh further stated
that many Lafayette graduates
had made substantial contributions to Alborz College in Iran
and that these contributions were
not properly exploited by our
State Department. The United
States stands to lose prestige in
the Near East if it fails to capitalize on the goodwill of these and
other contributions to promote the
welfare of the people of Iran.
According to Foreign Students
Director Charles Hulac, who acted
as director of the conference, the
general feeling of the speakers
was that Iran should proceed with
complete modernization of their
nation, independent of the British and Russian attempts to intervene. They also appealed for the
friendship of the U. S. in this undertaking of educational, health,
and economic development in their
nation, as this country has always
been sympathetic toward
the
needs of a nation in distress."
At this final session a statement
was made thanking the fraternity
houses and other organizations for
their participation in making the
visit a success. The students voted
to lay plans for future meetings
and then passed resolutions providing for these coming conferences.
Program plans for the coming
year and election of officers were
the main items of business under
discussion at the first meeting of
the Hillel Society last .Thursday
evening in Pardee auditorium.
Many were present to welcome as
guest speaker Mark Kaufman,
president of the Lehigh chapter of
Hillel. Albert Grollman was elected president; Leon Fox, vice president; Louis Bravman, secretary;
Alan Schwalbe, treasurer, and
Alan Osterweil, social chairman.

W h e t h e r Lafayette last year lost $18,000 or vi^hatever,
t h e figure, everyone seems to know, is clouded by mysterious a d d e d incomes and questionable nomenclature among
t h e expenditures. This is not t o say t h a t t h e practice is
foul or good; r a t h e r , it would serve t o remind a l l t h a t
statistics a r e t h e lyin' kind, a n d t h a t n o m a t t e r w h a t
amount is given a s annual or semi-annual loss, t h e figure
is too high.
There a r e some very serious students w h o view all,
including t h e g r e a t Saturday afternoon profession in terms
(horrors!) of dollars and cents. Play, they insist, t h e big
schools, t h e purity-minded Ivy Leaguers a t N e w Haven,
Princeton a n d Philadelphia. W h y not? Fight t h e fight
a n d keep your h e a d s unbowed regardless of t h e inequality
of t h e contest. After all, t h e college makes a few more
bucks, very few more, by allowing t h e "scholarship-free"
institutions t o exercise their second string steamrollers
during minor houseparty weekends.
Die for dear old Dollar!
Now, if Lafayette would raise gate receipts, a s seems
to be required in order t h a t the team can t a k e t h e financial
b u r d e n from affluent alumni, it behooves t h e College t o
set up an a d d e d incentive for t h e folks to fork over their
$2.60. This d e p a r t m e n t proposed such a n incentive. I t
t h r o w s t h e formation of a Small College League into t h e
laps of t h e Student Council, t h e College Athletic Department, t h e Student Athletic Association, o r t o t h e venerable Trustee Committee on Athletics—^to whomever among
this group sees sufficiently t h e hypocrisy of t h e present
system, if it can be called one.
We charge any, or all, of these groups t o throw

ability, t o m a r k out a conference schedule with all eyes

To raise t h e prestige of the College a s an institution
a n d the sport a s a College athletic, not to mention raising
t h e gate receipts, there is no alternative. A winning team,
even a .500 team, brings customers. A losing organization

crumbling three-school league makes very poor sports

The world is a strange p l a c e — a kind o f double
exposure. One side s h o w s t h e h i g h standards a n d

THE
Marquismen Win Second Straight,
Tumble Muhlenberg Booters, 4-1
The Trottermen travelled to
Allentown Saturday to defeat the
Muhlenberg booters, 4-1, in a
driving rain and snowstorm. This
was the Leopard booters second
straight victory of the season.
Coach Trotters' eleven appears to
be a much improved team.
After 5 minutes of the first
period, Lafayette's outside left.
Jack Hurlbut, tallied on a crossed
ball from the left side. Although
the Marquismen's offensive kept
its high pitch during the complete
game, the Mules did score once.
This goal was scored by Muhlenberg's center fullback, Eichner.
The Leopard's second goal of the
half was scored by team captain,
Jim Wren, in front of the goal on
a cross by Hurlbut.
Leopards Boot Two
Lafayette kept up the pace during the second half, scoring two
goals to none by the Mules. Both
these goals were tallied by the
Maroon
c e n t e t fullback,
Neil
Smiley. One was scored in each
stanza.
Lafayette's outstanding hooter
of the day was right halfback.
Bob Harrison. Neil Smiley, who
scored twice in the second half,
also played flne ball. After rix
straight defeats, the Trottermen
now started what might be the
beginnings of a winning streak.
The Leopards are now playing
much better ball. Their passing
has improved greatly. They seem
to control the ball much more
than they did at the start of the
season. On the whole the Lafayette booters are now a much better team. Thursday the victorious
Leopards will try to keep their
winning streak alive when they
battle Rutgers at March Field.
