Ministerial Club
Holds Meeting
"Brotherhood" Is Topic
Of Talk; Plan Work
At Juvenile Court
The Ministerial Club held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night,
March 11, in the Bell Room of Neely
Hall. Milton Wilmersherr gave the
devotional. A discussion on the sub
ject "Is Brotherhood Possible in This
Country Today?" was led by James
Cogswell, president. This subject has
been discussed previously with a group
of negro men of the Y.M.C.A. here.
It was agreed that the only true and
lasting solution would be Christianity, but the first step must be taken
by the white population. It was decided that one of the best and most
effective
approaches
toward true
brotherhood is through individual
consideration.
The Ministerial Club is planning to
do Sunday School work in connection
with the Memphis Juvenile Court.
The Sou'wester extends the sympathy of the student body to Ann
Worten on the death of her father.

Players' "'1
It's a pretty wild Royal Family
that the Southwestern Players will
portray on the Little Theater stage
the nights of the 28th and 29th.
Naturally, there's the old story of
conflicting emotions, love, sorrow,
hate, pity, anger, sympathy, and a
good deal of et cetera. But this time,
we see them exaggerated, burlesqued,
dramatized and colored because the
Royal Family is none other than the
Barrymores--Ethel, and the rest-going through their private lives.

new president; Reama DeVall will be
the vice-president, and James Cogswell will be the secretary-treasurer.
The averages were: Bob Cogswell,
3.72; Reama DeVall, 3.56; James
Cogswell, 3.56; Dorothy Stacy, 3.50;
Elder Shearon 3.44; Campbell Long,
3.40.

High School
Seniors To Take
Exams Tomorrow
Will Try For Ten
Scholarships To Be
Offered in This Area
Applicants for the ten new scholarships offered to graduates
of the
Memphis high schools and the Shelby
County schools will be guests of Southwestern tomorrow morning when they
will take the College Aptitude tests
to qualify for the awards.
These scholarships are for $125.00
each, with the exception of the one
going to Tech High, which will be for
full tuition. The latter difference is
the result of an agreement between
Southwestern and Tech whereby each
school furnishes half the scholarship.
One scholarship is allocated to each
of the five public high schools, one to
the privately owned high schools,
three to county high schools and one
will be awarded in the above groups
at large.
The scholarships will be awarded
on the basis of the high school records
of the applicants, personal interviews
and the aptitude tests.
Applicants from the Memphis High
Schools who will take the tests tomorrow are: Wanda Carney, J. T.
Duncan,
Robert
Norrell,
Cherrye
Evans, Alfred Kerr, and William
Haynes from Messick; Fred Creasy,
Robert Dubrovner, Ruth Bryant, Margaret Bridges, Vivian Jeter, Eloise

Chi Beta Phi Will
See Moving Picture
To Meet With Chemists
And Engineers Club
This Monday Night
Next Monday night Chi Beta Phi
will meet the Chemists and Engineers
Club,
a Memphis organization, to
witness the showing of the movie
made by Dr. M. H. Knisely, University of Tennessee med school professor, picturing the actual circulation
of the blood and the activity of the
white corpuscles in fighting germs.
Dr. Knisely recently showed this
film before a large medical association in New York City. This is one
of the first films of its kind ever
made.
The discovery of the ability of a
quartz tube to carry light around a
corner led to the making of this film.
By injecting a quartz tube beneath
the skin of a guinea pig and using
a very strong light and microscopic
lenses, clear, distinguishible pictures
of the warring between white corpuscles and malaria germs were made.
The initiation ceremony of the two
recently tapped members of Chi Beta
Phi, Julian NaIl and Lawrence Knopp,
has been postponed until March 27.
The second pair of couples to be
announced for this year's April Fool
Carnival court are George Blakemore
with Harriette Hollis and John Young
with Martha Earp. These couples announced this week by Frank England,
president of the student body, make
four of the seven couples which will
compose the court. The members of
the court were voted for in chapel
early last week and two couples were
announced in last week's Sou'wester.
Next week, the king and queen will
be revealed and the following week
the lord and lady in waiting and a
final couple will be announced.
George Blakemore is a senior and
was captain and center of the basket,
ball team this year. He was named
on the All-Dixie conference team last
year, and was listed in the "Who's
Who of American Colleges and Universities." He was recently elected
most handsome man on the campus.
His home is Rives, Tenn.
Harriette Hollis is a senior and is
secretary-treasurer
of the student
body. She is president of Chi Omega
sorority, a member of Torch, honorary women's organization, a member
of the Christian Union Cabinet and
was listed this year in the "Who's
Who of American Colleges and Universities." She is a resident of Memphis.
John Young, a senior, is vice-president of Omicron Delta Kappa, former
president of Kappa Sigma fraternity,
former business manager of the
Sou'wester, a member of the Honor
Council, former president of the
Christian Union Cabinet, and was
president of his class his junior year.
He is president of the Elections Commission. Young is from Greenville,
Miss.
Martha Earp, a freshman of Memphis, is a pledge of Chi Omega sorority and is a member of S.T.A.B. intersorority.
The couples in the court will be
presented at the play, which will be
held the night of the carnival, and
will attend the dance that night together. The theme of the court has
not yet been decided on but it will
probably be based on a Spanish, Turkish or futuristic court, according to
Harriette Hollis and Toni Noce who
are in charge of the designing of the
costumes.
Playwrights Are Mobbed By
Desperate Band of Reporters
My third attempt to get an angle
on the April Fool Carnival play was,
if anything, less productive than the
first two. It was all I could do to hold
on to my camera and notebook and
the spare tire of the battered station
wagon, that was bumping frantically
over Chickasaw Golf Course, hotly
pursued by a howling mob of reporters.
It was while plowing through sand
trap No. 5, that Pryor seemed to regain consciousness sufficiently to answer us. "Well, I might as well tell
you, the whole thing's out of my
hands, the cast refuses to do anything
but Othello."
"That's by Shakespeare, isn't it?"
I added hopefully.
"Yeh, what's that guy ever done
that's so hot? You evidently aren't
acquainted with the Chinese stage, my
dear fellow. Hey, Mac, you'd better
light up another can of Sterno; we
seem to be losing speed."
We turned to find McCulloch typing
madly away at something that seemed to be a series of punctuation
marks. "Though your heart is bleeding, laugh, clown ,laugh, Ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
"Perhaps you could help me," I ventured.
"Travelers Aid Bureau, 216 Monroe. Act XXX, Scene 12-Enter Puncinello right. He is dressed in pink
tights, spangled spats, and camel's

Act 1, Sc. 1. He is slightly grizzled

his 11 years. Enter group of midgets

Pryor was unable to bear it any
longer. "I'll take over here," he roared. "O.K. Re-enter Puncinello laughing,

We landed in a heap at the base of

further than when we started. Next

when the authors get out of GartleyRamsey.

Pituitary Disorder-From
Yale Daily NewsThere is a story of a runt who ever since
earliest childhood passionately yearned to be a
big, strapping man. At the age of sixteen he was
scarcely five feet tall and his whole youth was
soured because he was sawed off; his whole life
was given over to the desire of growing up to a
tall adult. Then, suddenly, he began to sprout upwards. His family was delighted and his disposition sweetened as it became possible for him to
look out at his associates from an equal height.
He reached six feet, and then six feet two, then
six feet four. He was the happiest kid in the neighborhood. However, when the youth was over six
and a half feet tall, his family decided to call in
a doctor. But, alas, the thing couldn't be stopped.
The former runt topped seven feet and still he
grew. At the age of twenty-one his fervent ambition to be a big man had been fulfilled-but he
was a gangling, gawky monster weighing 350
pounds. His pituitary gland had run amuck, and
shortly he died.
For eight years of the New Deal, liberals have
passionately yearned that the federal government might grow up to be a big, vigorous structure capable of handling the nation's social and
economic problems. The whole life of many liberals was given over to the desire of providing
enough discretionary power for the President for
him to get something done, enough supervisory
power for the government for it to impose an intelligent wardship on economic forces. But after
eight years, the federal branch was still sawed
off-the Administrative Reorganization Act had
been emasculated in Congress, countless New
Deal measures wrecked in the courts, the NLRB
under vicious fire, and the opponents of effective adequate administration ready to assume office.
Then, suddenly, there was a defense crisis and
the government began to grow. Liberals, now
firmly seated in the saddle, are rejoicing, their
whole lives brightened as it becomes increasingly
possible for the government to supervise and
regulate. Conscription was passed, and liberals
knew that by a subtle transfer in public psychology federal control of selective service would confirm and strengthen the principle of federal control in the economic sphere. The Washington burocracy quickly gain sweeping powers over defense production, over American industry as a
whole, so that the liberal dream of a grown-up,
efficient government capable of fulfilling its functions seems on the verge of realization.
However, the Lend-Lease Bill, granting the
executive semi-dictatorial powers, is about to be
enacted into law. Some are beginning to wonder

"What Is Religion"?
Will Be Topic For
Group Discussion
About the most important thing
that happened to us last week was
the annual convention of the National
Nature Lovers' Association in Little
Rock, which we attended on Tuesday.
There were several talks at the first
program by a brace of the local and
female pastoral poets. Mesdames Toliver and Jones, whose subjects were:
"Our Furry Friends," "Our Feathered
Friends," "Our Finny Friends," and
finally "Our Web-Footed
Friends"
(done partly in choral singing by
both ladies)
began the program.
Those present included a lot of members of the Old Guard, who came
dressed completely in leaves, probably
in memory of the old Bok Tower days.
After tea, we heard numbers by a
gathering of nationally known bird
callers. One of the most prominent
was an old Southwestern grad, who
played First Baltimore Oriole in the
polyphonic arrangement of "Farmer
in the Dell." On the whole it was a
pretty successful convention, and we
arrived home Wednesday, feeling utterly natural and tired-but-happy.
We were terribly pleased having the
intramural fights last week as an excuse to get our little cousin from
Washington out of the house.
She
managed in two days to eat the goldfish, choke the dog and hide his body
in the clothes hamper, and burn most
of the furniture. Naturally she was
overcome when the blood gushed in
the first night's bouts, biting off her
left thumb in the excitement. Anyway, what we're working up to is that
she forced us, for some diabolical reason, to sign a paper of the most embarrassing kind, agreeing to enter the
intramural wrestling meet as the representative of the Chevy Chase Audobon Society. So don't be surprised if
you catch us doing over our Yogi
exercises any day now.
Dr. Kelso will address the Sunday
Evening Forum at 6:30 in the bandhouse on Sunday, on the subject "What

W.S.S.F. Drive Nets
$48.50 This Week
The World Student Service fund
drive had obtained a total of $48.50
yesterday at noon, according to Mary
Elizabeth Harsh, president of the
Y.W.C.A. and chairman of the drive.
This is, however, a very small sum
in comparison to the totals raised by
other colleges and groups of students
and the drive will continue. A special
plea is being made to the Y.W.C.A.
members, who have not already done
so, to pay their membership dues.
This amount now owed would amount
to approximately $35.00 and so would
mean a substantial boost in the drive's
total if paid now.
A table has been kept in the cloister during this week, and has been
presided over by members of the Y.
W. C. A. Those who have served to
solicit the funds are: Meredith Moorhead,
Carolyn Murphy, Katharine
Miller, Marion Dickson, Ruth Lee,
Mary Elizabeth Douglass, Harriette
Hollis, Marjorie Moorhead, and Roberta Wellford.
The purpose of the drive is to raise
money to furnish living expenses and
equipment for students in the countries of Europe and Asia which have
been the scene of the present war.
The colleges and schools in these
countries are in many cases completely destroyed and unless some means
is obtained for rebuilding and carrying on the scholastic programs in the
meantime, education will be completely stopped. As the pamphlets for the
drive phrased it, "the fate of the
leadership of the Europe of the future lies in the hands of the college
students here today."

A course in "Jazz Appreciation"
was announced by the Metropolitan
Music School. The school, located at
68 East 12th Street in New York, announced a course of twelve weekly
lectures by Ralph Berton. Such topics
as Blues, Jazz Intonation and Inflection, Development of Modern Jazz
Styles, New Directions in Jazz, and
Jazz and the Audience will be treated.
In announcing the course, the Metropolitan Music School said that
"Jazz" a weakly accepted
musical
idiom, has until today been curiously
scorned by musical
institutions of
learning, possibly because it has been
stamped as merely a medium of entertainment........It is a musical expression which you may like or dislike,
but are never indifferent to; a new
and distinct idiom with a set of values peculiar to itself. These lectures
are designed to furnish guidance towards the recognition and enjoyment
of genuine jazz for what it is, and
towards the establishment of a higher standard of popular taste and appreciation.

About whom little is said is the
great Yank Lawson. This superb
trumpeter is one of the three all-time
great hot trumpeters, the other two
being Louis and Muggsy. Bix was great,
his melodic line was beautiful and
his ideas were endless, but he lacked
the guts and the drive of the three
colossals. Lawson is the most forceful
trumpet player of them all. His vicious attack and constant good taste
combine to produce music that is lasting. On both stomps and blues, Yank
is superb.

MEANDERINGS
From Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar:
Adam and Eve had many advantages
but the principle one was, that they
escaped teething.
The holy passion of Friendship is
of so sweet and steady and loyal and
enduring a nature that it will last
through a whole lifetime, if not asked
to lend money.
When I reflect upon the number of
disagreeable people who I know have
gone to a better world, I am moved
to lead a different life.
Few things are harder to put up
with than the annoyance of a good
example.

Apologies are indeed in line for my recent illness and especially
for the editor's oversight in allowing such an aspirant to the arts
as Goostree attempt to phrase something in the form of enlightenment-as our column doubtlessly is. But, unfortunately, when it
comes to criticizing Goostree, we can best refer to one of his clauses
of last week, "There remains so little to write about." That very
aptly describes our predicament when we take Goostree, ex-roommate of the very late Sam Fisher, as a subject for our remarks. So
humanely we will pass over his blunders and proceed to more
pleasant subjects.
Later in the column, we mention the win by the Sigma Nu's
over the Non-Frats in the tug-o-war. This win, the result of ineligibility of a Non-Frat man, was contested by the Non-Frats but
the latest word is that Coach Nemecek's decision that the Sigma
Nu's are rightful winners is final.
The standing to date of which boxing, ping pong, and tug of
war are included is as follows:

As previously mentioned the championship for the year is far
from being a cinch for any one team. In the last three sports events,
SN has gained 25 points on the SAE first place while KA, KS, and
NF have all lost 30 points apiece.

Last Monday the final game in the ping pong contest between
K.A. and SN. was played and S.N's emerged victorious with two
out of three games. Hinson defeated Gallagher 21-15, and 21-14;
Martin in a close match overwhelmed Wilgus 16-21, 21-10, and 21-17;
while Hull obtained the third match on a forfeit.
Wednesday afternoon brought forth the thick thewed lads to
compete in that back breaking sport, tug of war. The NF's with
such petite material as Bader and Gladney found an easy way to the
finals while the SN's lost to the SAE's and made use of the double
elimination feature to climb back from the other side of the bracket
to the finals. In this final pull it was the NF's that finally outpulled
the snakes, but due to a violation of the intramural rules concerning
eligibility the game was later forfeited by Coach Nemecek and the
SN's declared the winners.
In view of such associations as we had in actually pulling in
this mighty event, we of the Sou'wester Intramural Department hereby declare our all-star team.

Competition; Chi 0's
Lead Sororities
The much talked-about excitement,
which, if you read this column every
week, heh, heh, you know is at a
high pitch just now, has reached a
new high. Last week there was only
one Girl's basketball tournament in
progress, and everybody had worked
up quite a rash over it. This week
there are TWO tournaments, being
played simultaneously and concurrently (?), and by practically the
same people. The sorority tournament
is at its peak, and as if that weren't
gruelling enough, Miss Stratman just
wanted to make sure the girls had a
good work-out, all right, so she started the class competition.
'his situation brings out some amusing incidents on the court, because
some of the players can't seem to remember what teams are playing, and
there was one case, for instance,
where a senior guard heaved the ball
wildly to her sorority sister who was
on the junior team. It is a bit weird
to suddenly find yourself working
shoulder to shoulder with a classmate
in one game, and going after her
tooth and nail in the next game between sororities. But the whole idea
is to develop a spirit of cooperation
and friendliness among all the players,
and if the Sloan's Liniment and Absorbine Jr. supplies hold out, the
thing may be accomplished after all.
The only sorority game in the past
week was between the Kappa Deltas
and the Non-Sorority, played in the
gym Thursday night. It was really a
thriller, too, because both teams were
there to win. The K.D.'s had defeated the N.S. team before, and the N.S.
girls were out for revenge. They got
it, too, at 26-16. Captain Jo Rhea, of
the N.S. team, accounted for 16 of the
points, and Marjorie Moorhead and
Mopsy White provided a little more
support than Jo usually gets, and accounted for the rest of the goals besides. Eugenia Carter of the KD.'s
had an off night, but she managed to

leaving only Maxine Allen standing

has been lacking so far, according to
Dr. J. R. Meadow, mentor of the links
forces. Although a schedule of games
has already been made out, very few
potential players have turned up.
Members of last year's squad who are
back are Bob Stites, junior, and Bob
McCrary and William Wooten, sophomores. The schedule as drawn up is:
Ole Miss-March 29-Here.
Springhill-April 22-Here.
Springhill-May 2-There.
Ole Miss-May 10-There.
Sewanee-May 17-There.
Sewanee-date to be decided.
The above is not the complete schedule as other matches are yet to be
arranged.
Lack of Interest
For Tennis Team
Few Candidates for
Net Team, Schedule
Still Tentative
Four men, the remnants of last
year's tennis team, will comprise the
nucleus around which Prof. P. N.
Rhodes will build his 1941 net organization. Bobby Meacham, last year's
captain, Lewis Wellford, Jimmy Collier, and Mack Hinson are back for
another season on the courts. Lost by
graduation were Johnny McGrady,
Cecil New, and Bailey Campbell.
Fresh candidates, Professor Rhodes
said, have been few, and consequently
the team will be made up of only four
men this year. Matches have only
been tentatively carded thus far, but
the schedule will probably be arranged definitely within the next
week.
Among those mentioned as possible
additions to the team are Jack Taylor,
John Gibson, and Bill Horn.
