PhiB^teHas Anniversary Of Founding Baxter Discusses Post-War Plans

By NANCY EASLEY Phi Beta Kappa celebrated the one

hundred and sixty-seventh anniversary of its founding on Saturday night, December 4, with the initiation of new members and a brilliant program in­cluding an address by James P. Bax­ter, 3rd, president of Williams Col­lege and one of the foremost men of America in the field of liberal-educa­tion, and the reading of three unpub­lished poems by the well-known poet, Robert Peter Tristram Coffin.

The initiates were as follows: Je­rome Elliott Hyman, Marjorie Eliza­beth I.rntz, Elaine McDowell, David Brooke McNamara, Betty Jean Nied-erlander, Frances Gibson Pendleton, Katharine Alvord Rutherford, and Marjorie June Webster of the Class o f ' 44 ; Mary Edna Trumbo and Jane Elizabeth Williams of the Class of '43; and one alumnus member, Carl­ton Jerome Casey.

Robert DeBlois Calkins, president of the Alpha chapter of Virginia, the first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa to be founded, presided over the program. The vice-president of Alpha of Vir­ginia, Kremer J. Hoke, presented the initiates and President Pomfret of William and Mary welcomed them, admonishing them that, the achieve­ment of a Phi Beta Kappa key did not allow them to cease their efforts but rather called on them for a great­er part in the improvements of the world.

Carlton J. Casey, alumnus initiate, responded for himself; and Jerome E. Hyman responded for. the iritiates-iit-course, remarking of the deep humili­ty the initiates' felt and declaring them dedicated to the principals of Phi Beta Kappa: friendship, morality, and learning.

"The Liberal Arts College of the Future" was the topic of the address of the evening, given by Dr. Baxter, who is Chairman^ of the Association of American Colleges, which is study­ing the problem of keeping.the ideal of the Liberal Arts College before the people in wartime. Dr. Baxter dis­cussed the plan of the government to provide at least one year and perhaps more of education—either liberal or vocational, as desired—to every man who returns after the wa r ; and also to provide small overseas universities for education of the soldiers during the period of demobilization. These two plans will require a great many

Dr. Weygaitert Djspyssjafc Ap|#cafii P<|2|s la^nptely

In Series Of Lectures November 30-December 2 Presenting > a natural picture of

Dutch objects, Dr. Weygandt, pro-

fessor at the University of Pennsylr

vania, opened his series of lectures

last Wednesday night in the Dodge

room, speaking on the subject, "Things

Pennsylvania- Dutch". In presenting his second lecture,

"Poets' I Have Known", on Thursday afternoon, he said, "A wise child is one who chooses his parents well." This phrase is meaningful to Dr. Weygandt because he, fortunately, was born into a family possessing a library. Resenting the phrase, "more truth than poetry", Dr. Weygandt said the real appreciation^ of poetry is the touchstone' of English literature. Believing a poem is not a poem until one has heard it read or quoted, he continued by quoting various passages and describing his personal contacts with such poets as William Yates, a Nobel Prize winner; John Ma9efield,

Padric Colum, Alfred Noyes, Walt Whitman, whom he met at German-town Academy in Pennsylvania, and Vachel Lindsay.

"Arts ought to be as everyday as gossip and talk about politics or. sporfs, and not apprehended by a chosen few," he concluded, "and since poetry gives us the readings of life, we all can't avoid liking it."

Typical New England life was the theme of his third lecture oh "The Background of Frost", Thursday eve­ning. Weygandt told of his life spent in his Cape Cod house on a hilltop, the country of farmer^, the art of cut­ting wood, and of sapping trees for sugar. Knowing this background, he can therefore appreciate Robert Frost. In his early youth, Frost was a bobbin boy in a mill, and Wey­gandt mentioned - other personal ex­periences of his friend, such as that of Frost being able to build a load of hay, cut a Christmas tree, fight well,

and carry on heavy outdoor labor. Frost is full of ballads, a writer of

country things and an admirer of simplicity. Frost calls his poems eclogues, for they have a sense of in­sistency of "something terrible about to happen."

Desiring that something be devel­oped in American poetry which is not found, in . the- poetry of any other country, Weygandt said Frost has made this beginning by, using a fresh attack on his works. He asked the audience .to remember. Frost by his well-quoted lines: "light he was to no one but himself"; "nothing gold can stay". '- "

Following his last lecture on "The Miracle of Joseph Conrad," last Fri­day, Weygandt answered questions from the audience and emphasized the fact that Frost and other Yankees and New Englanders are just as human and full of funny anecdotes as people in other parts of the country.

Varied Assignments Open To A. S. T. JE\ Graduates O.C.S., Air Carps; Among Opportunities

By PVT. JOHN J. KRAL1K Many college students are perplexed

with the intricacies of calculus; others can not comprehend the Exacting laws of Newtonian physics. 'But to a sol­dier in the A.S.T.P., nothing is more puzzling than a few " questions his civilian friends unmercifully continue to ask. "How long will you be in school ? What will you be upon completion of your training pro­gram ?" .•••... '.';• •-'•':.". i : :-

Although these queries- can:; Jwye'.r be answered with reliable accuracy, the published experiences^ of ~ soldiery recently graduated from the Program tend to remove many of the prevailing uncertainties. In general, the 15i)0 men who have completed their'studies have received a wide variety of in­teresting and responsible assignments both in this ' country a n d ' w i t h our armies'overseas. "" '-'' ". '

College education under ^Vrrriy sup­ervision is a project still 'In its infan­cy. During" the first World Wat ; the government inaugurated a 'program similar to today's A.S.T.P., "but our participation in the conflict was so short that it had little time to .develop.. to any appreciable extent. In Ajgril of this year, the nation's . colleges again commenced to ; train ; those;..se-lected by military authorities.- ^The number of trainees in the colleges has constantly increased until today, ap­proximately 150,000 men are being educated under the surveillance of the. War Department.

The purpose of the program has. Keen to train soldiers for the highest duties they are capable of..performing in "specialized fields.-^Although; a number have been assigned to Offi­cer Candidate School, the conclusion' that the ASTP is a sure road to a commission is an error. On the other hand, trainees should realize that their chances for advancement are greatly enhanced by successful com­pletion of their courses and by compe­tent performance following that train­ing.

It is expected that the successful trainee will advance from term to' term to the completion of his course. At the end of every 12-week term a soldier can be recommended for eith­er 1) continuation in the AJS.T.P.; 2) assignment to an Army service school; 3) assignment to other mili­tary duty; or 4) consideration for-Officer Candidate School. '

In all probability, those successfully completing the basic phase of the Program will be promoted to the a d : ' vanced course. The disposition of trainees at any time, howevery is de­pendent upon the immediate needs of the Armed Forces.

Graduates of the Program, in gen-. eral, will fight as an integral part of a combat team brought to its peak strength. Some will play an equally vital part in one of the many other assignments ''open to them. Among those assignments for a restricted number of men as enlisted reservists on inactive duty are the all-important tasks in research laboratories and in other engineering activities in war n-dustrieS.

The first graduates entered a t ad­

vance levels because their educational backgrounds indicated that they could

-be trained in shorter periods of time. The typo of training which they re­ceived varied widely as did their post-graduation assignments. ^Those trained in engineering were

assigned as specialists and technicians in the Army Air Forces, Army Ground Forces, Corps of Engineers, Chemical Warfare Service, Signal Corps and Ordnance Department. Trainees in medicine and allied fields ::are now serving with the Medical' ^Department wherever United States troops are stationed. Soldiers, who jeceived personnel psychology train­ing are .being utilized by the Adju­tant General's Department while those who graduated from the foreign language and area course are now meeting the overseas needs of the Army Ground Forces, Army Air Forces, Signal Corps, Military Intel­ligence Service, the Office of Provost Marshal General and other agencies.

MONDAY —- Now.it's not only the Happy Bunk, but it's the Physical Ed­ucation Department that is bullying the life out of me. I've always been a serious child and advisably digni­fied, but today all was lost when I discovered that I am not equal to the task laid out on a college activities schedule. I am prepared to present my flaw in all its strained weariness. It was not a basketball class I signed up for at eight dawn, but a most grossly exaggerated rhythm and per­sonal development gathering for the C-posture group students.

TUESDAY — The Other Bunk has a noble mind equal to the task. It no longer astonishes me when the Happy Bunk walks in the room, and with a half-crazed voice greets we with the question, "Where is the Other Bunk?" I'm not even slightly aware of the prodigiousness of the Other Bunk's mind when she makes a similar in­terrogative statement at the absence of the Happy Bunk's charming figure in the low slung hammock she calls a bed. Well, the Other Bunk has met the problem nobly. Her solution is merely a life-sized portrait for each Bunk of the other to fill up the empty spaces where they once: lived and breathed in the past.

WEDNESDAY —. The Happy Bunk has her dignity in spite of her fingle-fangle,. dust in the balance brain. \It's perhaps the fact that she's redundant at times, but not—no never obese. After the short-haired ensign lias reached his height of greatness and prominence in her mind, she. must revert perhaps a bit to slight fribble and levity to forget her inneT sad­ness at his departure. ' To cover up her. considerable grief; she mak<:s but one small momentous and above all remark. "Well, she says," hanging up the phone, "there goes another good dinner to the southwest Pacific."

THURSDAY — With precision and speaking volumes of, a not too pretty tale, the Other Bunk hung up her twenty fallen three season's skirts on the rather elastic but obviously tired hanger, for the third time tonight. ' While we don't like to harass her, we did feel that perhaps a little com­fortable advice would be not too pain­ful. We suggested that she put the summer skirts away until June to relieve the plucky little hanger. With complete self-possession and with an air of respectful distance she merely looked us in the eye and stated that

FRIDAY — With rny old hardi­hood and utter pluck of nerve, I went out to consult "the manicurist in town about my '-'incorrigible" hails. The Bunx have insisted .as my-true bene­factors that I. must harden myself to what is before me. The nails must come off. So side by side, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, en masse, I took the mighty ten to the cold naked steel, and they are no more.

Army Trainees Are Eligible For Professional Schooling Aptitude Tests Will Be Given

Inquiring Reporter

A recent 'announcement by the War Department affects trainees of the A.S.T.P. who are interested in medical, dental, premedical, or pre-dental training. This announcement modifies considerably the former re­quirements for acceptance as a stu­dent in one of these fields. Under the old rule an applicant had to be al­ready accepted by an approved medi­cal or dental school before he was eligible for pre-medical or pre-dental training under the Army Specialized Training Program. The new plan provides for qualifying examinations to be given to all Basic Engineering trainees in Term II, and to those in Term I I I who wish to apply.

Men selected from this list of eli­gibility will begin their pre-profes-sional training in February, 1944. Previous quotas of men selected under the old ruling, will not permit entry of newly selected trainees for pro­fessional training until January, 1945.

Advance acceptance by the medical school is no longer required. A qual­ifying grade on a medical aptitude test and interest are now the factors governing selection. The medical ap­titude test was constructed under the supervision of a committee appointed by the American Medical Association.

Under the Army program, pre-pro-

Phi Beta Kappa Has Arimversary

(Continued from P a g e 1) teachers and the now existing schools and colleges still need their teachers who have gone into. the armed ser­vices. Dr. 'Baxter expressed the hope that Phi Beta. Kappa will aid its in­itiates in gaining a philosophical at­titude, enabling them to live fully de­spite all tribulations, .and-will perhaps bring them to be teachers to aid oth­ers in gaining this same philosophical attitude.

Dr. Coffin,, the Phi Beta Kappa poet of the even, is a Professor of English at Bowdoin College, and has been the Phi Beta Kappa poet at the celebration of many other chapters' foundings. His published works in­clude novels, essays, biography, and poetry. In 1936 he won the Pulitzer Prize for his "Strange Poems". For the celebration, he read three short poems, "Upstairs", "Wind from Home", and "The Day My Son Puts on His Wings'", all concerning his son, who is in the Naval Aviation Training Corps. They were extreme­ly moving and seemed to strike just the right note for this wartime pro­gram.

The invocation was given by the Reverend Daniel Jariies, Blocker and the benedictiofr by'the'Revefend Fran­cis Hopkinson Craighill, Jr. , , The

led fessional training will occupy the first fifteen months of the course. The processional and recessional were final work will take thirty-six months by the College Choir. and will qualify students for their de­grees in medicine. The entire course, which takes fifty-one months, is geared to the speed of courses of the A.S.T. U. at William and Mary with, how­ever, less emphasis on Physical Edu­cation and Military Instruction.

. With , February graduation ap­proaching and June not far away, here, girls, is what some of your fel­low students think about the follow­ing question: Do you believe that a girl, upon graduation, should join, as her patriotic duty, one of the •women's branches of the service?

Gloria Brush: I t depends, entirely upon the individual and the circum­stances involved. I feel, however, that it is not. necessarily a patriotic duty, i fone can be useful in essential industry or another position.

Mary DeVol: I don't think it's her duty, for heaven's sake! Of course, if she looks nice in a uniform, that's dif­ferent.

Jack Carter: It depends on the girl. If she has talents that are of use to her country, then it's to her advant­age to do so. If, like most girls, she is just preparing herself for marriage, she has two alternatives—go home to mother, or get married.

Bill Britton: Frankly, NO! A girl with a college education will be need­ed more on the home front. Those girls not lucky enough to have a col­lege education should be patriotic enough to take on this duty.

Dot Ferenbaugk: No, because a girl's training in college fits her for something more specialized, and more useful, perhaps, to her country, than membership in the armed forces.

"Red" Wood: No, not-necessarily. I think the girl, as well as the boy, should follow the course that shall do the country the most good. That most probably is the course she is ma­joring in. For instance, if the girl is majoring in home economics, she should find herself some up-and-com­ing 4-F and get married.

Marion Commery: Yes, if she feels that she is better qualified for this type of work, than some other job.

Interested In Dramatics By CONNIE CONWAY

As Editor of the forthcoming Royal-ist, Senior Norma Ritter is an impor­tant figure on campus.

Norma came to Wijliam and Mary from Medford High School, in Mass­achusetts. She was originally from Denver, and now lives in Washing­ton, D. C.—a Westerner, a New Eng-lander, and a Southerner all rolled up in one small, blonde, blue-eyed package.

An English major, Norma wants-a literary career, either in radio script writing, advertising, or criticism.

She is well qualified to hold the editorship of the college literary mag­azine. In high school she was class poet, and she edited a camp news­paper in the summer.

Norma is a^WAM, and because oi her previous radio experience at Har­vard summer school two years ago, she often does the W AM announce­ments in the dining hall.

An outstanding participant in dra­matics on campus, Norma is a mem­

ber of the Backdrop Club, and Secre­tary-Treasurer of Theta Alpha Phi national - honorary dramatic society. She has had prominent parts in many college productions, the most recent being Ludmilla in "Squaring the Cir­cle" last year, "The Fighting Littles" this , summer, and Emma in last month's presentation of "Papa Is All". She is now in charge of the musical

.background for the current drama '"The Patriots".

Norma also finds time for member­ship in both the Glee Club and the French Club, and she is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

In regard to her policy for the lioyalist, Norma says the magazine, is to be purely, literary in makeup this year. Although there will be no photographs, several illustrations will be included. .The men of the A.S.T. U., as well as the college students, will contribute.

By SAMMY BANKS

The answers to last week's quizzer-

roo appear to be: Frankie Carlson was

Woody Herman's classy left-handed

drummer for many years. Frankie

had the distinction of being the noisi­

est drummer in the business. Ray

Dorey sings with Benny Goodman a t

the present. Ray has a voice very

much like Bing Crosby. The best

song he has done with BG is "Rus­

sia". Ina Ray Hutton',s band carries

a trio of Chinese girls, the Lee Sis­

ters, as vocalists, and very nice sing­

ers too. Gary Stevens was Charlie'

Spivak's featured male vocalist until

he left for the army. Last, but not

least, we have "Bouncing down the

aisle with his ever present smile comes

Cheerful Charlie Fisher," jyho was:

Blue Barron's featured novelty singer.

The latest news from the music front tells us that Helen Forrest has left Harry James to swing out on "her own. Helen has decided to follow up the path that several of America's. band vocalists have been so successful at, and will be replaced by pert Judy Williams as Harry's song singer.

No news is good news, they say, but the fact -that no. news about new. rec­ords has reached our ears is by no means; good. It may. be that the: first

] of the year is the time when they-will go into production again. We can hope so at any rate.

Let's talk about theme songs. The theme I like best is "Pipedreams" by Tommy Reynolds. If Tommy could make every song as good as that one he wouldn't be where he is today, a class C band with about class 4F box office rating. This song is really

soHiething though and offers some­thing in a hew trend. Tommy calls himsilf the leader of the band that plays tomorrow's music today so that may be the secret of his theme's suc­cess and, his lack of success. Of course, Artie Shaw had a terrific t^Bte^w^^i^tmar>*' . .whicn is really a weird,job......Shep Fields uses a song something like it for his sign-off theme. . I certainly hope that Artie will be back after the war with,his band again to give, us some more dream music.and a little "Night­mare." , Les,Brown's theme is a jump tunef the name of which I do not know. It js. solid as all git put, how­ever, something like Krupa's old theme, "Apurksody." Now there was a hep beat. It was named by spelling Gene's last name • backwards and the ban3._ bends,--.over backwards to pro­duce. so.me, really , jivey stuff. The nicest .of.;,them all, as everyone will agree, was,.the old master's. Yes, Glenn Miller had them all beat with "Moonlight Serenade." There is an­other lad I hope will be back to sere­nade us after la guerre.

No records to speak of, and we can't go on 'with themes forever; so we'll make it: a short one this issue and close with our theme, the quiz:

1. Who plays first trumpet with Har­ry James?

2. Who ovvned the "Ten Magic Fing­ers of Radio"?

3. Who is Duke Ellington's blind vo­calist?

4. Who is, Martin Block?

5. Whose theme is "Thinking of Vou"?

Assistant Sports Editor

. „ By BILLY GEIGER

This being the beginning of a new sports column, we hope that we can keep up the fine work of the outgoing columnist, Bill Albert.

Since Thanksgiving marked the end of William and Mary's football sea­son, and we begin our column on the week following, there is no better sub­ject at hand than a review of the 1943 season.

A green squad reported for football practice early in September and, from this squad, Coach R. N. McCray molded a fighting freshman team which compares favorably with past elevens since the days of the Fabulous Freshmen of 1939. Schedules Were drawn up for both freshman and 150-pounders, and after two weeks of practice, the Green, Gold and Silver defeated a team from the Army Unit 26-0 in a ragged game on Cary Field.

The following week, the Braves journeyed to Annapolis where Navy's powerful Plebe team ran to a 28-0 victory in a sea of mud. A strong wind spiked the Indians' only offen­sive weapon time and again ground-y

ing Raimondi's passes. A crowd of 3,000 jammed Builder

Stadium to see a tricky Apprentice 150-pound'team smash out a 24-6 tri­umph over a game but ouclassed In­dian lightweight team the' next week­end.

In their first home game of the sea­son, the Braves used Ben Raimondi's accurate passing and a hard'charging line to good advantage as they ran all over Randolph-Macon's hapless Yel­low Jackets, 38-6.

The next .two contests both resulted in losses for William and Mary: Frank Dobson's Apprentice School Varsity trounced the Tribe 19-6 in a game much closer than the score indi­cates; and the Maroon 150's again took the measure of the Tribe 150's 26-13, this time on Cary Field.

Closing the season with three straight home games and as many wins—two being upsets—the Indians compiled a record of 101 points scored against 6 for their opponents, and a net gain of only 64 yards in three games by their opponents, which we think is a record of some sort.

Coach Dobson's Apprentice Ma­roons were the first to feel the wrath

Joe Och Recovering

From Game injuries We are happy to report that Joe

Och, left end on the football team who suffered a severe back injury in the Norfolk Marine game on Thanks giving Day, is coming along fine. However, he will be laid up for some time. Joe turned in some great ball-games for the McCray men this past season. Playing left end, he scored three 'touchdowns on passes from Raimondi and was more than a standout on defense.

Joe was slated to be a regular member of the basketball team for the coming season. He played two games in the Intramural league for the Yankees and showed fine style on the court. It is doubtful if he will be available for duty with the hoopsters, due to his injury, for some time.

Och is back on campus now after. being in the hospital for several days. He is able to navigate enough to at­tend classes but will be out of athletic action probably until Februarv.

Backs Drive Hard To Stop ForwardLine

By LAURIE PRITCHARD

The William and Mary varsity hockey squad ended its season last Thursday, defeating a strong arid previously unbeaten Westhampton team 1-0.

Because of their record of 5 wins and 1 tie the visitors were slightly favored; however, the local eleven outplayed their opponents throughout the contest and the victory was well-earned.

The play was fast in the first half with both forward lines 'bidding for scores. However, the strength of the backfields kept the ball out of the striking circles and In 'mid-field most of the time. The Tiard drives of Mul-dpwney, co-captain and center half of' the Westhamptoh team, thwarted many attempts of the William and Mary forwards to score. The half ended with neither team having made a goal.

The second ;half saw a refreshed William and Mary team take the field. Long drives from the sticks of the Indian backs and quick passes by the forwards kept the ball well into the visitors' territory. Midway in the half the Westhampton left inner, Hardee, took the ball and after dodg­ing four Indian backs streaked into the striking circle unmarked and drove hard at the cage. A beautiful stop by goalie Barbara Nycum, pre­vented a sure score. On the rebound left halfback Louise Ward drove up the field to leftwing Nancy Hale. However, the attempt to take the ball into the striking circle was stopped by Darracott, Westhampton back, who passed across field. The William and

During his junior year'fie 'served 'as "president of Sigma Alpha ' Epsilo'n, social fraternity, was selected to become one of "the Presi­dent's Aides, arid for membership in the Flat Hat Club.

His extracurricular activities in­cluded Senior Representative to the Honor Council, Freshman Tribunal, Sports Editor' of The Flat!

Everyone ' who has worked with" hirn, teachers, coaches, and members of Tlie Flat Hat staff, can testify to his whole-hearted In­terest in whatever he undertook, and to the'great 'arnouht of sfi'rvice^he'has given to William and Mary.

A really fine leader, he knew how to accomplish a task without alienat­ing himself in'the'eyes of others, and was well liked by everyone on the campus. Some idea of the regard in which he is Reld, is shown by the fact that he was one of the thirteen Wil-liarh arid' 'Mary'students whose xhonor it was to have their biographies ap­pear ' in Who's Who in American Uni­versities and Colleges. ,

Bill "Albert pro'ved himself a very exceptional person, and though he will be missed here at school, William and Mary's loss is surely the army's gain. We can be certain that he will be as fine a soldier as he was a student.

Cheering Squad Is IttspiM^ Force In W.-M. Grid Season

By GINNY TOWNES

School spirit plays a leading role in the success of any athletic team, and it is on the shoulders of the cheer leaders that the task of creating support ,for the team falls. The squad of eight deserves three long ray rahs for its pep-and vivacity in arousing the enthusiasm of the crowd during the past gridiron season. It is apparent that the Indian eleven couldn't have felt the spirit to win without the backing and encouragement of the college led by the cheering team.

Marian Ross deserves more than usual credit, for she alone was left to train the seven new members to compose such an out-standing team. Marian has served three arid a half years, and though she has cheered some of William and Mary's greatest players to victory, the Work she did this year was her very best.

Levi Marlow, though a freshman, has an excellent record of past experi­ence." He was Head cheer leader in his senior year at Washington and Lee S igh School in Alexandria, Virginia. Laurie Pritchard Tarid Trinka Robin­son were also active in this field before coming to college. Laurie cheered for one year at Roger Xudlowe High School of Fairyiew, Connecticut, and Trinka two years at Freeport High School in Freeport, New York.

John Spivey and Raymond Slaughter of Richmond, Va., and Eric Brown of Alexandria, Virginia, have had n& past experience, but have certainly proven thernselves this season. Betty'Mae Beacan made her first attempt at cheering this year dlso, and it is probable that she willcontinue in her senior year.

The pep leaders are urging the students to rally around "'them during the baslcetball season1 Id that they may give the players a great send off. No group has cheered the Green and Orange on with more spirit and they cer­tainly deserve the whole-hearted following of the college.

games out of three in a row, to take over the realm of championship.

Many times throughout the season boys had forfeited their games by not reporting on time to play them. In some cases, contestants had gone along for a winning on forfeits. But, when the competition became keener, those who t e f K j e r s

were not capable of keeping the pace were soon eliminated. Perhaps if some of the forfeitees had come out and played, the competition might have been made greater and thus

also. ~

As for the prospects which Steussy has to choose from, the outlook is" none too bright. The main factor hamper­ing the club wil l \ be. inexperience. However, with a few "games under

In the campus buildings of William

have been gathered for an exhibition

which opened on Saturday, December

Chosen for this exhibition are por­

S|ftden£ Jiaye been, giifen more freedom, in personal choice of foods for their irntals through the use of the cafeteria. But whether or not this freedooiiJs.bejljng, u§ed wisely is a question worth considering.

Good health is a precious possession, especially today, when all phases of life have been accelerated beyond any previous pace. In or­der to gain the greatest benefit from each minute of our daily activity, it is well to do what we can to maintain a state of good health and re­duce to a minimum the hours of sickness.

Prop^r^i^tjha^much-to do in determining one's state of health, and it is Qne of .jthe factors oyer which each student can exercise control. Thies cafeteria, offers the facilities, presenting a variety of foods which shpull, include thf individual taste of each student. The menus have been-planned by a dietician and are, therefore, reliable standards from which a student may deviate according to his personal choice. Every­one has at le„ast a vague idea as to what constitutes a well-balanced diet, and the regular cafeteria menus offer an example to any one who is .enJjrdjL, ignorant of such matters.

We are all in college now and are no longer to be pampered by our p ^ q t s . \ye_hayeto make our own decisions, and there is no one to see-'thatiWe,make.the right decisions in selecting our daily foods. Therefore, it is up to us. The intelligent and healthful thing to do is to try. to choose wi'sely. Rather than eat only those foods which we especially like, we will have to use some will power and intelligence and eat,those.things which we know we should. And, above all, we shgujd eat three meals a day, at regular hours. Let's think, and be healthy!

WmBmeWe'UBe Back When Christmas rolls around, most people like sentimentality with

their turfeey. After three and a half years at the College of William and Mary, we seniors don't display much sentiment about the College orthe-jdays we've,spent in its halls of learning .and elsewhere.

Ours is^always the first voice raised to cheer a vacation, the bitter­est at the thought of losing a single free day, the most hopeful in dis­cussion of the rumor about a four-week holiday. We are busy making applications for jobs against the day we shall be "opt of this place at

We'll have a wonderful time at home—but this time we'll be back.

Dear Editor,

What is. Jhe_ "outlook of the average

student on this campus towards col­

lege life, in all respects, during a

time of chaos and confusion that ex­

ists for us today?

This is a problem that is facing

many of us— whether we should stay

in school or go ahead and join the

armed forces, or even obtain a de­

fense job for the duration. College

is the place that the ones that are

qualified and are willing to apply

themselves should be. In the post­

war world millions of well-educated

men and women in their respective

fields are going to be needed in order

to assure our children that there will

NEVER be another catastrophe in the

future, such as-some of us have :seen

and others are preparing to see in the

very, near future. That is a certain­

ty, but now the question faces us as

to what is our responsibility for the

future as a student?

It is our definite responsibility to meet our obligations on this campus, to do our studies well, to enter into some activities, to go to social func­tions, but above all to realize how fortunate and lucky we are to be students here during this time. There are boys lying in fox holes at this very minute, ones, in bombers over Berlin, ones in the jungles of the South Pacific that would love to have the opportunity to sit in our class­rooms and learn for the future. I've seen boys die in Army hospitals, ones crying when they received their first letters from home, ones drag through rain and snow to learn how to.shoot a gun, ones sick and with fever pray­ing for the chance to be with their wives and sweethearts again. These boys are not in college but a lot of them were, doing the same things that we are attempting to do today.

It is up to us, as college students, not to fail these boys that are out there so that we can be here. We don't want them to feel disgusted and lose faith in us when they return. We are in college to see that THEIR and O.UR., post-war £world will ,-be , worth living in . ' T H A T is OUR responsi­bility!

Sincerely,

Tom Thornton.

Cafeteria By SALL1E HO AG

Before the cafeteria opened every­body was asking, "When are they go­ing to put the cafeteria in? I'll .be. so glad when I can eat what I want to." Since the dining hall has been replaced by the cafeteria many people have been heard complaining that they liked the dining hall much bet­ter. Consequently this reporter has taken a consensus of several people on campus as to which system they pre­fer—the dining hall or the cafeteria,?

Phyllis Laskey: I like the cafeteria better. The food is improved and I like eating at the new tables. I didn't like the group that waited outside the door. By the new way, you feel that you are moving along in line.

Jean Hall: I like the dining hall. The cafeteria is much more expensive to, the student and as- William and Mary is a college where many of the students are : financing their sown way through college, their expenses should ke kept to a minimum.

Mrs. Brinton: I like, the cafeteria much better. In the dining hall the

Holiday Spirit Lacking Without Yule Ceremony

Has William and Mary changed?

One hesitates to mention the College

these days without specifying by

means of an adjective, i. e., Wartime

William and Mary.

Some may think it unnecessary to

mention again the things we now miss

as a part of campus life. However,

we would like to mention a few

things that -are most precious in the

memories of those of the old school.

The freshmen orientation picnics

and banquets, the athletic teams we

were so proud of, the colorful aca­

demic processions that went with each

convocation, the homecoming, week­

end with its parade and other festivi­

ties, fraternity dances, picnics in Ma-

toaka, the colorful Yule Log ceremony,

the Varsity Club Christmas dance, po­

litical parties on campus, eating fa­

cilities in the Greek letter houses and

the old dining.hall, Midwinter .danc­

es, the May Day ceremony, Final

Dances in the Sunken Garden in all

their glory, and many other perennial

favorites are no longer ours to enjoy.

As December approached this year

one could hear much talk from facul­

ty and students alike mourning the

fact that so many of the students have

missed the holiday spirit aroused by

the traditional Yule Log ceremony in

BICYCLE LIGHTS

We have been. reminded by the

trial justice in Williamsburg that a

number of students have been riding

bicycles at night without lights.

According to the State law, a bi­

cycle at night must have a light in

the front and a light or reflector on

the rear, visible under normal con­

ditions, at least three hundred feet.

We sincerely., hope that students

will cooperate in obeying this law;

otherwise, they will, be subject to

fine.

waiters were always; waiting for you to finish your food and this way you are not hurried;.. I think it's Wonder­ful how much food they can give us when the food situation is so bad.

Joan Keriiiington:The cafeteria. There is more of a choice of food and you get o more balanced meal.

Lois Spratley: The cafeteria. You don't have all that pushing and you have a better variety of food.

HUGH Moore: The dining hall. There was more to eat.

Emily Scott: The cafeteria. The food is better, and there's a wider se­lection. It is arranged much nicer, and when it's supposed to be hot, it is. . Prices are still very reasonable, and you can eat when you want.

Eugene White: Definitely the din­ing hall. There was much more to eat. I'm a waiter, and it wasn't as much bother waiting ob.tables before.

The only evidence that Christmas is even coming has been in the gallant attempt the boys over at Taliaferro Hall have made to show a little holi­day brightness on campus with their Christmas decorations and colored lights. Only those who have seen the breathtaking effect of a Christmas candle shining cheerfully out in each window of the Wren Building at this time of the year can realize how dark the- campus looks without it.

Would it be possible for the admin­istration to bring back to us the tra­ditional Yule Log ceremony this year, or is it really a war casualty? Would the costumes and effort really make too large a hole in college finances and manpower, or could we all work' together and see it through for old times' sake? It would seem that with the little .expense the college has put forth on the other yearly events men­tioned that have been lost in view of the present emergency, that this one small festivity should be ours at Christmas time if we utilize what we have and take time and perhaps a lit­tle currency (we have it from reliable sources that the cost is a compara­tively small one) and add a small bit of interest which seems to be so di­vided this year.

And while we are making this plea for the restoration of one old tradi­tion, we should like to solicit interest in advance in the return of the May Day ceremony. This too is one thing we believe we can both afford and enjoy without throwing a wrench into the war effort or being too extrava­gant in face of the present emergen­cy. Please.

Most Students Eat Small Breakfast

NORMAN, OKLA. (A£P)—Regi­nald Macready,.. writing in the Okla­homa Daily, criticises the universal inadequacy of the college student's breakfast:

"According to 'Lynn,' who conducts a column in the Colt/ate Courier, the average American college student is undernourished. He cites a recent survey which published facts about the breakfast habits of some 50,000 students who were interviewed.

"It was found that the majority of .students do have some kind of break­fast but many of them go without. More than half the students contacted said that they eat rolls or bread for breakfast, but less than half of them had any kind of breakfast food.

"The standard breakfast at this uni­versity campus is a hot, buttered roll and a cup of coffee. Such a break­fast has nothing to recommend it but its cheapness, for it does not give the student the nourishment and physical stamina that is necessary for four hours of hard work in the classroom and laboratory. Also, aside from the deadly monotony of this coffee-and-roli breakfast, it may lead in the end to dangerous digestive disturbances."

to fly. All the training is relevant to actual combat, and men must qualify as fighters as well as flyers.

Lieutenant McCloud said that if enough boys were interested, he might arrange to have the tests given here instead of in Richmond.
