ASTR’S Arrive; ASTP’SDisband Ripon college campus became a military reservation in July, 1943, as a unit of men belonging to the Army Specialized Training Pro- gram were stationed here. The or- ganization of the unit was set up by Gil. George A. Sanford, who was the commanding officer when the men arrived. He was succeeded by Lt. Col. Frederick H. Gaston, and Maj. T R Burner, respective- ly- There were three separate units stationed on campus from the mid- dle of last summer until Mar. 30, 1944, the ASTP unit, the ROTC group, and the ASTRs. Other of- ficer� who made up the complete staff were Captains Campbell, Fredericks, and P. T. Miller; Lieu- tenants W. A. Staugaard, John de la Cova, Robert Miller, Fred Sul- livan. Douglas Cmnc, Fredrick Weber and Holmes Dice, and Warrant Officer T. J. Chrust. The men were divided into 12 sections according to their previ- ous educational experience. Com- pany A, consisting of sections 1 through 5 and 12, resided in Ev- ans, Shaler and Wright while Co. B was housed in Smith and West. Inasmuch as Ripon college stress- ed engineering in former years in its curriculum, the army set up a course of study designed to train the soldiers in this field. The pre- scribed course was as follows, math- ematics. which included algebra, trigonometry, geometry, U.S. his- tory. geography, chemistry, physics, English, physical education and military science. One week in- cluded 24 hours of required study 24 hours of classroom recitation, five hours of military science and six hours of physical education. In a recent announcement by the commanding officer, it was learned that on July 2. 3 and 4, Ripon campus will see the arrival of another unit of army men as a gnmp of ASTR’s take their sta- tion here. This group consists of hoys just out of high school, aged 17-18.

The re- arranged schedule will also permit members of the hoard of trustees, whose annual meeting occurs at this time, to meet students and par- ents. Speak to Tracy Army Men On Nov. 12 both President Kucblcr and Dean Graham spoke at an informal meeting of the for- mer ROTC juniors then living at Tracy house. Questions and an- swers were exchanged on such top- ics as clarification of the ROTC men's positions, and allowance of credits towards degrees on work accomplished under the army pro- gram. Trustees Formally Induct Talented College Leader Dr. Clark George Kucblcr, Ph. D..LL.D., was inaugurated as the seventh president of Ripon college on Dec. 7, 1944. At the after noon ceremony in the Scott Street Lutheran church, he received the charge of office from William R. Dawes, chairman of the college Ixiard of trustees. Dr. Kucblcr discussed the role of a liberal arts college m a world at war On the. second anniver- sary of Pearl Harbor our thoughts are inevitably on the war. the most devastating and disastrous of all time, As Allied armies spill their blood on battlefields that oth- ers may lie free. w«- must not for- get that the conflict between free- dom uid tyranny : •• • new but reaches back to the dii i baitons of prehistoric times. And they will always be set again , each other because tyranny leaves only the tyrant or tyrants free, while they, as Plato pointed out, arc ti� e slaves of their own caprices . To study the history of the western world for the past 5,(XX) years is, in a very real sense, to read the record of that struggle. . The totalitar- ianism we seek to extirpate is a military problem, but it is more than that: it is an intellectual and moral problem. . . . Radically divergent im: that ideology is the fir.it postulate on which democracy ts built- Aristo- tle's famous dictum that man is a reasonable being . Essential to the full development of this capacity for reason is liberal education as distinguished from what is voca- tional or professional. In fact, de- mocracy and liberal education are indissoluble. . It is necessary that we further the cause of liberal ed- ucation if our country is to keep and to develop further its sacred inheritance of freedom. . . If education is truly to be emancipating, if it is to free men from every form of tyranny, it must recognize that Christianity and civilization will stand or fall together. . . Now in the days that lie ahead the challenge to education (Continued on oaee 4) y • V -Jl L. I R.

Dr. Albert Buckner Coc. pastor of Oak Park's First Congregational church, sermonised on The Power and the Glory. His thesis was a comparison of facts, which we know to exist, and the related pints, usually intangi- ble. For example, the Declaration of Independence was a remarkable fact, but its power and great glory lived long afterwards in the spir- itual interpretations of Lincoln. There is the fact of the Christian faith, that Christ lived and min- istered over 1,900 years ago in Palestine, that he was born in a manger and. died on the cross. This fact was the powerful inspi- ration for countless ixxiks through all ages, the erection of magnifi- cent cathedrals, and the glorious realization of Christian principles. The greatest scientists, such as Millikan and Compton, with the power of earthly knowledge, have consistently preached the presence, the glory, of an illimitabiy greater heavenly power. We arc not living Christianity, even in our democratically organ- ized society, as long as wc discrim- inate against Negroes, refuse to feed starving children from other countries, and value too highly the idea of national sovereignty. Dr. Coc summarized. An interesting feature of third urtcr offered to .«11 students by r George J. Dudycha head of e psychology department, was a ric of weekly lectures, offered rcry Thursday at 3:00 in his iissroom. The purpose of these lectures was to aid the students in selecting a vocation. .Dr. Dudycha gave ex- amples of various occupational op- portunities, not only in the field of psycliology, but in other fields as well. Hi ins Talks On Christian World On May 17 in convtxation, Rev. John S. Higgins, horn in London, educated in America, and pastor of the Minneapolis Gethsemane church, addressed students and fac- ulty on A Christian Map of the World. Prof. Chamberlain led the choir in Mendelssohn’s Lift Thine Eyes ; Dean Graham and Rev. Rowles read the scripture les- sons. Rev. Higgins commented on the unifying and inspiring effects of hymn singing. He then proceeded into his subject. The intelligent- sia is willing to criticize the Chris- tian view of life, although they do not know what it is. There is much unconscious atheism and agnosti- cism. due primarily to bewilder- ment. Most people today outside the Christian fellowship know so little about it that they are not competent to criticize it. Sometimes I think that Chris- tians are the only true pragma- tists. We don’t quarrel about the resurrection; wc are interested in the results. The power of the story is to be judged by its consequences, not by its style or structure. For example, ‘Uncle Toni’s Cabin’ was sentimental, but it told its story. The same is true of Dickens, not great literature, but profound in another sense. The Christian church ought to paint the whole world red, with the bhxxl from Emmanuel’s arter- ies. I am a little fed up with the ‘great, new world’ talk. Wc must try to change the people. Our new map of the world will have to be made without the use of guns. There is nothing to guarantee that we will have good sense, but when wc get through with this ghastly mess there will have to be some young men and women who are going to help in making a new map of the world. Speaker at convocation April 18 was Dr. Emory Luccock. pastor of Evanston's First Presbyterian church. His subject was the pres- ent Far Eastern situation and tlw problems that will rise from it in the future. Dr. Luccock was exceptionally fitted to discuss the problem of Japan, China, and our relations with them. As a missionary, con-' ductor of the Siangtan community and Shanghai American commu- nity church until 1938, he ob- served the Japanese and Chinese, and the tragic forces which finally precipitated our entrance into the wordl struggle. In the course of Ins speech, Dr. Luccock stated that the invasion of China tix k place because the Jap- anese militarists realized that they would either have to subjugate the Chinese people or China would be- come the dominant power in the Far East and thus supplant Japan. In addition to this there was a new type of liberalism appearing in their own country which they feared. They realized that they would hast; to create a situation of war so that the people would once more have to depend upon the mil- itarists. Always present is their be- lief in their destiny as rulers of the world, is their extreme nation- alistic and racial feeling. ANDERSON TALKS On COLLEGE NEEDS On Jan. 26, Dr. Paul Anderson, dean of Lawrence college, address- ed a college convocation. His sub- ject was The College Faces the Future. He pointed out that the citizens of this nation fall into three differ- ent categories regarding post-war conditions, not only in our own country, hut in the entire world. Fifteen per cent fall into the con- servative type, 15 per cent are Utopians, and the remaining 70 per cent are progressives. There are three ways for human Ivings to get along with their fel- lownien m this world, now that war has spread to its every comer. First of all, we could clear right out of the war, and forget about any other country. Secondly, wc could adojn the “go thou and do likewise” attitude, which would lead to some form of world-wide imperialism. The third alternative would he to .provide as much sov- ereignty as the people have the ability to administer and the de- sire to achieve.

WILLKIE IN RIPON ON ANNIVERSARY For one brief moment on Mar. 20, Wendell Willkie, seeking the Republican presidential nomina- tion, flashed Ripon into the na- tion’s political limelight. He spoke m the college gymnasium on the occasion of the ninetieth anniver- sary of the Republican party. Photographers and newsmen from all parts of the country gath- ered here to record his significant visit. His first appearance was on the steps of the little white scKx.il house where, 90 years ago, a group of local citizens met to form a new political party to call itself “Republican. Clemens E. Lueck, college stu- dent secretary, arranged the even- ing's program. Mr. Willkie gave the chief address. The Nature and Function of a Political Party. In his speech he called on the Re- publicans to repudiate the present administration and indicated that he would enjoy leading the move- ment. He insited on a positive at- titude toward world conditions.

Sev- eral guests were present and com- prised the head table along with Dr Kucblcr and Mrs. Kucbler, Dean and Mrs. Graham, Dean Margaret Cunniggim, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis. Also sitting at the head table were the presidents of the four sororities, Carol Maas, Mary Miller, Betty McComb and Mary Hockcnhuil; the president of Bart- lett, Harriet Ketchpaw; the presi- dent of the League, John Tollcf- •on; the president of Harwood, Henry Miller; and the four house- mothers.

The entertainment for the even- ing consisted of a selection of Christmas songs by the Lyle girls, and a reading-by Muriel Smith, DulTic. Dr. Kucbler and Dean Graham both spoke a few words about the Christmas spirit and hol- iday. Thursday and Friday evenings, Nov. 9 and 10, the Mask and Wig, under Prof. H. P. Boody's direc tinn, presented to Ripon audiences the Broadway play, The Male Animal, written by James Thur- ber and Elliott Nugent. This play, a satire on the provincialism and narrow-mindedness of a small col- lege town, embodied both humor and drama. The plot involved a college professor, Thomas Turner, who proved his manhood by re- fusing to abandon his principle of a teacher's right to cKxwc his sub- ject matter, even though it be a letter hy Vanzetti, a suspected “Red. In the course of events he was also called upon to show that he was an example of the male animal” and would not allow his wife Ellen to be carried away by a former all-star football player. Characters in the three-act com- edy were selected by Prof. B xxly from Kith the civilian and ASTP students. Cicota—Norma Jean Stuart Ellen Turner—Maurinc Carter Tommy Turner—Pvt. Jesse Gor- man.

Hey, gals, elf on you ain’t kought� yerself a date with a real live hootnan male for mgh onto muntks, this is yur chanct! Jedge Hangin Tolliver, Lonesome Polecat and Hairless Joe’re callin' the annexed Sadie Hawkins chase fer Sattiday, March forth, to begin close to sun up! Of course, as members of a na- tional journalistic fraternity they really assumed the dialect only as an aid to sell the tickets for their gala costume party. They further announced that this year all males in unyform will be el legible fer the chase—providin' they wear their fatygues which will be the order fer all well dressed Dis- patchers. Food'll be sirved at the Yunin Grill. The raggin of the jazz will be by Freddy Rodcncal and his Skunk Holler gang. According to the prescribed tra- dition the girls sent corsages of odd vintages and paid for all bills in- curred in the course of the even- ing. The event lived up to its gala advertising. Programs were minia- ture newspapers whose stories told of the woes of asking a man for a date. The dances were dedicated to the professors. Decorations were huge figures of the comic strip characters. Claire Kleinschmit was general chairman; Lou Minar and Dorothy Ncesc Evans were in charge of decorations; Doris Stockton headed the program com- mittee; Wanda Jean Ellis handled the arrangements for the food.

Chccze cried Thaddius Snortgroin, “What's doin' here to- night?” as he gazed listlessly into the gym. Oh, answered his pal. Julius Kurtz, as he wiped the drool from his underslung chin, the girls are playing the ASTPccs in basketball. Let’s go. No! “Come on! Okay, you've convinced me.” Af- ter purchasing the tickets from a scalper at a fair price, $2.98 with tax. they proceeded to find a place to rest their weary bones. And so the game got under way with both sides being equal. Of course, the boys had a few handi- caps to alter (?) their game, such things as Kills and chains on both feet, straight jackets and hand- cuffs. What a beautiful display of sportsmanship with each girl tear- ing out her hair to play next to that “big, handsome center” on the hoys’ team. The boys were petrified when they s.� w their opponents' skill and stood still in their tracks. (They were glued to the fl x� r, another slight handicap.) And so the game went on- laughs, smiles and tears with never a dull moment. What a game! What a night! What a mess! ’ P.S. Kids, it really happened though the facts have been slightly altered above. Frosh Collapse- TooMany Cokes Have a coke. No, have two cokes. Here's a cigarette. Got a chair? Let me help you with your coat. Water? Just a sec, I'll get you some. The nearest exit? You're going? You don’t feel well? Oh, well, how about a date tomorrow at 2:15, 3:30, or 4:45? Meet you under the clock. ’Byccece. Ctmkl it be the sound of an at- tentive male voice coaxing a Ri- pon charmer into a lasting friend- ship? Heaven forbid! It’s rushing— those several weeks of Bacchanal- ian revelry where everyone, frosh and upperclassmen alike, swill enough fizz water to float the new- ly reconditioned Normandie! But the gaiety of college life, the carefree, gladsome existence, is impressed upon incoming frosh un- til the poor deluded creatures have visions of one long coke date; they arc ready to turn tail and duck under the first juke box they can find! But pledging is a must in the annals of the college and the sororities go at it with a vengeance, the idea being to change a bit the phrase, Those who git there fust- cst, git the mostest! This period before silence day and pledging is the time when up- perclasswomen may show off all their new fall skirts and sweaters to dazzle the newcomers and con- sequently to snag them as pledges, if only with the offer of Oh, this sweater? Anytime you want to wear it, it's yours! (Aside) And when you give it Kick to me. I'll take the Kill and chain off your ankle.' But let's gumshoe our way through a Bartlett corridor and hear what the new pretties have to sty about cigarette smoke, cokes and the desperate attention «if so- rority girls! Hey, Patty, let me get near the door just in case the word c-o-l{-e is spoken 1 may turn a shade of green that would look well only in one certain room on this floor, if you see what I mean! Russ, old kid. smoke keeps coming out of my cars. Do you think this is permanent or will the haze leave after pledging? I get so confused, can’t tell my way around in all this fog. It’s OK, their calling tnc Ma- thilda all the time. After all, my mother’s great aunt’s cousin • was named that, but they keep con- fusin’ me with my goon roommate. Nobody could stand that one, Frosh Class Sponsors Turnabout ReetHop Despite it's unusually small size, the freshman class did its part in contributing t« the social calen- dar at Rip hi by sponsoring the Reel Beat Hop. The frosh social event was held in the axe handle r xim and grill of the Student Un- ion on Saturday, Feb. 12. Music for the occasion was furnished by the frosh through the juke box. Shirley Franz was general chair- man, assisted by Betty Schneider, Marine Pease, Evelyn Evenson, Peg EastwtxxJ, Dorothy Searlc, Gerald Birkholz and George Scho- mer. Chaperones were Dr. and Mrs. Daniel G gan and Mr. and Mrs. AI Johnson. The Rect Beat Hop, as the title suggests, was an informal af- fair. with sweaters and skirts in vogue. The dance was a date affair for the entire student body. Danc- ing began at 8 p. m. and continued until 11:30. PSYCH MAJORS ATTEND PARTY Anne: Ofson graduated with hon- ors, Mary Egcrman was salutator- ian and Muriel Smith flunked nut. Don't he alarmed . these exam results concluded a course that was held one evening at the home of Dr Dudycha. The psychology majors were the students once more at the mercy of their professor, but this course was by far the most enjoyable. The entertainment of the evening was bridge played in as many differ- ent ways as the Dudycha's could conceive. One hand had to be play- ed in perfect silence, while the one man in the crowd beamed with joy. Other times, trump was speci- fied beforehand, bidding restricted, and so on, until the players were ready for a psycopathic ward. But the brave psychology maj- ors struggled through, and came out a little worse for wear. How- ever. they all promised to take it easy on the guinea pigs . . 'cause they knew how it felt, could they, sweetheart! The blessed lull after pledging seems to confuse the frosh even more, although the lines of strain, the dark circles under the eyes, and. the glazed expressions seem to have stolen away. The quiet, ex- cept for the yell, Hey, frosh— get over here and do some work! is almost too good to understand.

S. Pet- erson, agricultural consultant, Du Pont agricultural extension divi- sion, told students who attended his lecture in the Little Theater Oct. 25. Mr. Peterson was on tour under the sponsorship of the agri- cultural and mineral development department of the Milwaukee rail- mad. Shortages in a great many fields are relieved by chemically developed replacements and by adaptation of existing products and processes to new ones, Mr. Pet- erson said, citing the increased use of casein, a dairy product in the manufacture of certain paints. He also discussed the use of cellulose, derived from wood and cotton, to replace metals and rubber in new types of cellophane laminated and cellophane lined containers; and the discovery of a base made from the oil of the castor bean, a farm- produced crop, to replace the im- ported pyrethrum used in house� liold and cattle sprays. Millions of pounds of farm pro- ducts are consumed by the DuPont company each year, he declared, and a very considerable fraction of the company's normal sales are of manufactured products which did not exist a dozen years ago, but which have since been created by research. pci.

Foreign Affairs Forum Features Speech) By I)r. Webster Each Thusilay Night During the year. Dr. Edwin Webster, professor of history, con- ducted informal meetings of both AST1’ and civilian students. On Thursday nights in the student lounge time was devoted to lec- tures by Dr. Webster and discus- sion questions from his audience concerning vital aspects of the all- important foreign relations of the United States in a world of war and ensuing peace. The Nov. 11 meeting, one of the series most provocative, concerned the problem of Italy, recently in- vaded by Allied armies. While military occupation was proceed- ing, future dangers were appear- ing especially in the matter of lo- cal government. Briefly, the prob- lem was this; military authorities were content to allow the local Fascist officials to continue in of- fice to keep civilian order. These officials, however, having ruled during Mussolini's Fascist dictator- ship, were, if not active Fascists, at least acceptable to that govern- ment. They could easily lie the nu- cleus for any Fascist revolts in the future or for present sabotage that could he disastrous to .Allied success. Yet possible democratic leaders, confined in their activities and untrained in governing these years, would undoubtedly incompetent in handling the no sary civil affairs. Russia was explored on May Dr. Webster traced her hist from the first world war and Bolshevik revolution. He shoi the various stages by which Ru rose to be a first-rate power the communistic kickground this development. He also discui speculations on Russia’s future havior. especially her relation the United States, and condu that a greater understanding tween the two nations must be veloped for the sake of post-' peace and prosperity.

His article deals with two plays hy Bruno Frank, Zwolftausend -iui “Nina.” Because of the wide [difference in theme of the two three-act plays, they should provide interesting reading for intermedi- ate students of German, MAJ. L. I). FARGO RETURNS TO CITY Ripons war hero, Major Lynn D. Fargo, graduate from the class of 1936, was in town for a few days winter quarter. Returning from the Italian front, he had breakfast in Casablanca and was in New York the following morning. He spent only a few days here be- fore leaving for army ground force headquarters in Washington. Major Fargo pleaded for a con- tinuation of the ROTC program. “Almost 98 per cent of the officers arc reserve officers from schools, many of them similar to Ripon. That is one basis of our military success. I hope that the ROTC is not abolished. Two silver stars for gallantry wi action, two Purple Hearts for shrapnel and machine gun wounds, and a prospective presidential ci- tation arc among the honors Major Fargo has received. He is exceed- ingly modest about his achieve- ments. He preferred to praise his outfit, the third division, “which probably saw as much, if not more, action than any unit in the front row. He enjoyed meeting buddies from Ripon—George Peck, Roland Horky, Bill Bruhy, and Brig. Gen. Eagles. Dr. Tracy Strevey Speaks On March 17 On Mar. 17, the student body of Ripon college had as its speak- er, Dr. Tracy Strevey. Dr. Strev- ey, professor of history at North- western university, spoke on the Changing Patterns of American Democracy. He stated that de- mocracy is dynamic, its conception and patterns changing over the years. Changes either grow imme- diately out of the force and impact of woe, or they gradually come into effect after being crystallizing over half a century or more. The twentieth century looms as the century of change and transi- tion. Certain principles must sur- vive through this war and peace. Dr. Strevey called particular at- tention to the doctrine of individ- ual freedom, equality of opportu- nity, social justice, principle of popular government, and mainte- nance of proper division of power, and faith in the idea of progress. For the first two quarters, the senior class in composition edited issues of the Scribbler, Ripon college's literary magazine. Norma Jean Stuart, Harwood senior was chosen first quarter’s ed- itor. Specimens of work from both creative writing classes and outside students were published. Second quarter’s magazine was edited by a board consisting of the entire class, Norma Jean Stuart, Henry Klaus Miller, and Tom Scott. This quarter’s publication will be in the hands of the advanced composition class under Dean Graham. Despite the war and critical pa- per shortages, the Scribbler” will continue. This quarters editor, Mary Jane Kraus, Duffie, sopho- more. whose experience and talent have been exhibited in high school and in work on the College Days” promises that the spring issue will reach all former high standards. The Scribbler contains student material in the shorter forms— short story, poetry, essays, vig- nettes and reviews. It provides the honored opportunity for the em- bryo author to sec actually “his word in print. It is tangible rec- ognition of the literary talents of campus writers. Red Cross Drive Shows Increase The participation of Ripon col lege. led by Bob McDonald, in tin nationwide American Red Cross drive wjfs extremely successful with a total contribution of $144.76. Henry J Maxwell, in charge of the drive in the city of Ripon, ex- pressed great pleasure with the re- sults of the college drive. A chair- man from each house worked in conjunction with Mr. McDonald on the drive. Major Barncr rep- resented the army and organized the manner in which they would contribute. The workers from the various campus dorms were Dean Johnston, Harwood men; Betty McComb, lyle; Millie Edwards, Harwood! women; Barbara Wheel- er, Parkhurst; Mary Jane Kraus, Duffle; and Harriet Ketchpaw, Bartlett hall. This contribution from the col- lege was in addition to the $50 raised in the presentation of the all-star girls’-boys’ basketball game. The percentage of each group giv- ing to the Red Gross was quite equal. The members of the ASTP alone donated $100 in voluntary contributions.

Freund Discusses Five Representatives Reasons For War Visit New Students WSGA Grants Every Girl Late Permission WSGA announced first quarter that tins year all girls regardless of their yc.ir or grades would Iv granted two later permissions a quarter. Additional Si’s were giv- en to upperclassmen with A or B averages. This permission, for 12 o'clock, it was ruled, could be tak- en at the individual's discretion al- though she would have to notify her Ixmsc mother in advance. In addition to this, the women's governing body further decreed that special 1 o'chvk “furlough permissions could be granted at the discretion of the Ikhisc councils when a service man was in town for a limited time. Regular ltours were altered during the year to coincide with the hours of the ar- my men. but during third quarter were once more set at 10 o'clock on schix l nights. The special 11:30 permission granted up perci ass wo- men can be taken on any night except Sunday by rule of the asso- ciation. Liter in the year under Presi- dent Betty McComb's direction the constitution of the group was reorganised for clarity and e Ficien- cy. W.S.G.A. Writes New Constitution On Monday, Feb. 7, the WS GA board met to vote on the new constitution. A committee consist- ing of Peg Ogilvie, Jean Phiel, and Elva Bierman drafted the first form of the constitution. This was done as part of an attempt of the organization to coordinate the gov- ernment of the women on the cam- pus. In the constitution - was stated the purpose of the organization, which is as follows: “To further the spirit of unity among the wo- men. to increase their sense of in- dividual and group responsibility, and to form an official body to give expression to the opinions of wo- men students in matters of general college interest.'' In Article V, the new constitu- tum pointed out that the Ixxtrd should consist of 14 members; three representatives from each so- rority, the town girls, and Bartlett, consisting of the president, vice- president, and one other member of the sorority. Article VI of the constitution Among his informal discussions of the question, “Why Are We Fighting,” a series held on various evenings in the student lounge. Dr. Freund gave his opinions on Rus- sia. He directed consideration of both Russia and Britain's foreign policies and situations. He Itclievcs that Russia's aims will eventually confront the ambitions of Britain and the United States, as well as their ideologies. In turn, post-war planning of the British empire will be partly cooperative and partly competitive towards policies of the United States. As far as we arc concerned, there arc possibilities of raising the level of citizenship education for our youth. They must be made to understand the seriousness of their world of the future. Episcopal Church Holds Corporate Communions During the year the Episcopal church sponsored monthly corpo- rate communions for all college members of the church. These were followed by breakfasts in the parish house and speeches especial- ly planned for the group. Dr. Kucblcr addressed the students on Feb. 25 on the meaning of the mass. Both civilian and army stu- dents participated in these affairs. stated the exact mcml crship of the house councils of the individual sororities. It shall consist of from four to six members, each class be- ing represented in this group. With the sudden decrease in the total enrollment of Ripon college, the activities of Student Secretary Clem Lueck’s office has been great- ly increased. At present there are live college representatives recruit- ing prospective students. Mrs. Charles Engclbracht has charge of Illinois with her office in the Stev- ens hotel. Chicago. Robert Mc- Donald is in the Milwaukee dis- trict, including the Lake Shore. George Lanphcar, lent by the ath- letic department, travels in the south central and southwestern part of Wisconsin. Covering St. Paul and Minneapolis and north- ern Wisconsin is James Dunn. Clem Lueck coordinates the efforts of these four people and follows up mi contacts of prospective stu- dents. In addition to general recruiting a special all-picture bulletin was sent out during third quarter. Friendship week-end was another activity sponsored by this office. Scholarship examinations were giv- en througltout the three states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois to interested students. •fr---------------------------------- Serenade The night was calm and c Siowiy and quietly the small grot of giris made their way up the h on old Hughes walk.

Harw«x d, under house ! chairman Claire Kieinschmit, rock- eted into the lead with a total of $1,168.3? worth of bonds. Thus ! the college total was boosted to over $ 1 ,vStX), counted for the three- i week period. An intensive drive was launched in November, with John Tollefson | and Betty McComh heading the arrangement committees. Last year's plan of having the various [houses rotate supervision of the .grill booth was revived In addi- lion, sorority memfvrs sold Kinds individually. Two ASTP students were bond winners under the plan jol drawings from a pool of war stamps purchased in the grill. I John Tollefson stated more than 'adequately the purpose and neces- sity of fully cooperating with this [patriotic drive. “Victory is in sight for the Allies, but that is no ex- cuse for any American citizen to [stop buying war bonds and stamps 'Now more than ever we need all [of the available money that can be 'collected to aid in the early down- fall of the Axis tyrants. j It is with this tliought in mind that the Student Giuncil is start- ling its annual stamp and bond drive which must be supported by every student at Ripon college. [Die army men are purchasing hinds every month and will even be willing to buy more for the as- surance of a quicker and a speedier ending to the struggle. All Ripon- ites must back this drive to the ut- most, and with the support of the jttudent body I am certain that Ri- pon college will be able to stand jysidc the other educational insti- tutions in saying that we, too, have done our part to free t he world from the aggressions and ItmCUies which arc running ranv. pant over the earth.

During the February collection, the quota was very hard to reach, be- cause of the widespread flu epi- demic throughout Wisconsin. How- ever, the ASTP men stationed at Ripon did a great deal toward rais- ing and completing their quota. The mobile unit was in the Un- ion from 10 o'clock until 4 o'clock on Kith days. Coach Carl Dochl- ing was head of the executive com- mittee, Prof. Boody, publicity; Miss Margaret Cunniggim, recep- tion, and Major T. R. Barncr han- dled all registrations of the ASTP. Although the turnout for the third quarter bltxxl Kink was much smaller, the quota was helped con- siderably by the small number of students on the campus at that time. Virginia Rock was selected by the Student Giuncil in late Janu- ary to lead the activities of the War Grnncil as chief coordinator. Six other students were named committee chairmen to work with her, and Mr. Anthony Cascino, instructor in economics, was ap- pointed faculty adviser. The chairmen of the commit- tees and the group tlicy have led arc as follows: Red Cross, Betty Roycc; war bonds and stamps, Ruth Ferdinandscn; salvage, Jack Horak; publicity, BarKtra Wheel- er; service flag, Claire Kieinschmit; student relations, Marie Farrelly. During the year, girls rolled band- ages for the Red Cross in the seminar room of the library on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Wednesday nights. Special Thursday night program of rec- ords were arranged during the third quarter by the student rela- tions committee. A. A. U. W.

As no records had ever been kept of rushing rules, the times of pledging, hell weeks, initiation, and other sorority activ- ities, the council this year under- took the task of making these rules permanent. Records were also kept of any exceptions or violations of the rules of the intersoroniy council, so in future years, they may lx; referred to in settling other similar problems. Other officers were Mildred Ed- wards vice president, and Ruth Walker, secretary. The interseror- ity council is made up of the pres- ident, vice president and rushing chairman from each of the four so- rorities.

Parkhurst and Duffic led the women's houses with only two in- vitation for the former and four for the latter for both quarters. As in previous years all fresh- man girls whose names appeared on the roll call became automati- cally restricted to their house aftei 7 Monday through Thursday However, they could receive libra ry permits from their house moth ers for study purposes. Contrary to the ruling set-up Iasi year, the upperciass girls were under the jurisdiction of the dean's office. They were restricted to their rorority houses two nights a week to be chosen at their discretion. Third quarter showed a decrease to only half over the previ mis quarters and as a result no re strictions were made although th« calices did have conferences witl the deans.

Leonard Karel DENTIST W Phono: Itlnok 111 Because of the lamentable deple- tion of the civilan male population on campus, all the men moved into Harwood house this fall. Former fraternal affiliations were forgot- ten as they joined together to func- tion as a unit. The highlight of the social year for Harwood men’s house was the first quarter scmi-formal dance held Saturday, November 20, at the Legion hall. Decorations were of a patriotic nature. The ASTI Kind provided the music for the evening. Miss Ruth Strandbcrg and Lt. Fred Sullivan, and Mr. and Mrs. Bob McDonald served as chaperones. Also during the first quarter, the boys gave a smoker for President Clark Kuebicr and the male mem- bers of the faculty on Nov. 27. The main speech was given by Dr. Kuebicr who told of his European experiences. Harwood lost many of its mem- bers to the armed forces during the year. At the end of the first quarter, Dick Werner left for the Merchant Marines, Bill O'Brien for the navy, and the Donklc twins Bob and Bill, for the army. Ralph Loomis, better known as Jodi.. was another who finished only the first quarter. The closing of sec- ond quarter saw Henry Miller graduate and Jim Hansen leave for the army. Third quarter,, the navy claimed Kith Ben Grota and Bill Steffens. The last social event held by Harwood men's house was during friendship week-end when on Sat- urday night, Apr. 29, they enter- tained the male guests. Officers for the year were, pres- ident, Jack Horak; secretary and treasurer, Dean Johnston; social chairman, James Ohan. (JALS DID ARMY SAD FAREWELL Ingram just isn’t the same.

Yes, Ripon college has suffered a change, but many changes have come and gone during its long and honorable history. And it has weathered them all. Mar. 30, 1944, was the date.

Bartlett Girls Experience Dorm Life, Happiness Face Adventures in World of Tomorrow There's something distinctive above every college graduating class. It isn't just the way they v.� r their gowns or stand at grad- uation. The fact that they have maintained a certain scholastic Standard or attained a degree of excellence in their fields and met the requirements doesn't make them different either. It's some- ping else. i Perhaps they're thinking hack over their four years of college— four years of hard work and study- ing, more work and plenty of grief, hard knocks and too many gixxl limes to remember. Or perhaps they're not thinking of college at fill, hut are looking ahead at to- morrow. Surely tomorrow they Will be out of shelter and on their t vn m the world. After four long hears of preparation they are at last ready to step out and take their place—do their job. This year 29 students will grad- uate from Ripon. The number is mull. There have been much larg- er groups in years before. There will K- even larger groups in years to come, but of the class of '44 only 29 remain. The majority of [he senior's classmates arc scatter- rd all over the world. So this sen- ior class isn't all together really. The class is together only in their thoughts and in their prayers. Some of these graduating seniors have made Phi Alpha; others of them have received scholastic hon- ors and have done other things, too; some have excelled not sc hoi- Morally hut rather in leadership und campus activities, but all of them have done what they wanted to do. All of them have obtained what to them was important. That b what counts. And so the seniors are set apart from the rest. Each thing they do, fhey do for the last time They go t classes for the last time; they attend senior banquets; they go on house picnics and steak fries; they ftep out of offices, first initiating, «heir successors; they take their last c.ums and so take leave of Ripon and pass from its portals to take it heir positions in the world, wher- ever they may be. These 29 sen- ■ r- � ay gixxl-byc to Ripon. They •ay g xxl-hyc—at least for a while. I They linger over bull sessions •md think of old traditions and [times long past. During all the rush ; ■! iin.il packing and good-byes they The timid Bartlett fmsh, with radiating greenhorn personalities, started the Kill rolling by electing their officers at their first house meeting. Harriet Ketchpaw, Har- wood, of Bi x mcr, Wis., a capa- ble, but devilish gai, was elected president. As their vice president and social chairman, they chose Shirley Fran:, Duffic, of Tomah, Wis. Shirley is an ambitious girl who really did her share of work for Ripon college and Bartlett so- cial events. It seems the Bartlett girls felt as though Chicago should be represented among their offi- cers, and they all agreed that Mar- jorie Forster, Duffic, was the one for the Job of secretary. Since they also wanted to be democratic and include the south, Carolyn Schuettc, of East St. Louis, 111., was the inevitable choice for treas- urer. Bartlett's social calendar consist- ed of two open houses. The first one was held Jan. 30, as a house pause on their way over the cam- pus to give Limpy a final pat. Even Limpy seems to know it's time for them to leave. Standing here, we wave good- bye, good luck' and G xJ speed to a grand group of seniors. And as they take leave of our hill wc know their thoughts arc of Ripon. warming for their newly redeco- rated rcc room We can't forget to mention the fact that the girls themselves helped with the deco- rating. On Mar. II, another open house for the ASTP boys was held. Everyone had a lot of fun at both affairs, and the frosh were disap- pointed because they didn't ar- range more. In spite of the fact that the social events were few, the girls managed to have some gix d times just cutting up in the house. Hardly a night passed without someone thinking up a new practi- cal joke to play on some unsuspect- ing victim. Although the jokes were a little rank at times, the girls will admit that they really had fun at Bartlett and won't soon forget the friends they made there.

COLLEGE RATED TOPS FOR PHY ED Figures released by Carl lX chl- ing showed dial the Ripon ASTI unit scored exceptionally well in the physical efficiency tests which were conducted in cooperation with the army department's phys- ical fitness program. Gains were made from one quarter to the next and Ripon college rated high among the other ASTI sckxils within the Sixth Service command. Individual honors went to Dar- rell Lloyd, Section 8, for both quarters. The leader tallied 680 points the first term and the fol- lowing one he totaled 680i to beat out Sovcl, Section 9, who was sec- ond with 690 points. Sections 1 and 4 ranked at the top of the list in the competition, with Sections 5 and 8 close behind. It was no- ticed that the second group that came to Ripon averaged 18.9 years in age while the first con- tingent averaged 20.2 years. ASTP’S Beat Tracy ROTC; Scidl, Paulsen, Lloyd Star In the first basketball game of the season the picked ASTI squad downed the Tracy ROTC quintet, 31-22. The game was featured by the top playing of the former Ri- pon college basketball captain, James Scidl, while Paulsen and Lloyd starred for the winners. The game was marked with fre- quent miscucs and only the failure to connect on set-ups kept the score from «wring. The hall game devel- oped into a swell battle until the last few minutes of play when the ASTP five turned on the heat and tallied seven straight points to dis- courage all efforts by the Tracy ag- gregation. ------------------------ Rim pier Tetzlaff Dealers in the finer cuts of MEATS At Lowest Prices Phono Itlnck I Oft Itlpon ♦----------------------------------- All Stars Defeat Green Lake Quintet Twice Midway through the second quarter, an all-star basketball quin- tet was formed with Robert Fur- nish as the captain. This all-army quintet played two games with the Green Like city team and was tri- umphant in Kith engagements. The first tilt was staged on the Green Lake floor and the ASTI stars eked out a close 40-35 win. Lindquist and Banks paced the win for the locals while Busse tal- lied most of the Lakers points. The battle was marked with fre- quent fouls and only the superior floor play of the all-stars allowed for the margin of victory. In the return tilt at the Ripon college gym, the army five staged a one sided victory which saw the Green Like men going home on the short end of a 53-21 score. The locals employed a fast-break attack which left the visitors gasping for air. Lundquist again paced the vic- tory. These two successes marked the completion of the only semblance of college basket hi 11 at Ripon this past year. The members of the team from Companies A and B were as follows: Capt. Furnish, Lundquist, Banks, Sovcl, Lloyd, Hartman, Walworth, Tremper, Goldberg, Gordon and Paulsen. ASTP Sections Organized Into First, Second Teams Before the start of the second quarter the ASTP men had en- gaged in basketball which was not authorized or controlled by either the school athletic department or the army and was scheduled lie- tween the sections as circumstances permitted. With the beginning of the winter term, however, the ath- letic department organized the sec- tions into two kiskctball leagues which played an eleven game sea- son. Over 250 men participated. The first team title went to Sec- tions 8 and 9 who tallied nine wins and two defeats apiece. The second team crown was shared by Sections 1, 2 and 3 who also won nine games and dropped two. --------------------- Luck Inverselti For Victory, Huy W«r Bonds For the Best in Town . . .

First and second quarters brought about an absence of the gym classes for girls, as last year’s women’s athletic director. Muss Jane Crawford, left to become a member of the Red Cross staff ov- erseas. Now, with the small num- ber of men on campus, Coach Carl Doehling was able to lead the girls’ classes. Courses in gymnastics, tennis, golf, softball, and archery were of- fered. Classes were all scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday which are the lightest days for the un- derclassmen. new girls in helping them decide on what to bring to college and to acquaint them with traditions and activities they would participate in while at school. Miss Cunmggim's art classes ob- tained not only fundamental knowledge, but also practical ap- plication of that knowledge during the year. One of the first projects carried on by the classes was to make posters for USO dances and other school activities. Shortly aft- er the beginning of the year, they concentrated their efforts on redec- orating the office of Dean Cun- niggim in List building. They su- pervised and advised as to the col- or scheme and other technicalities with which they became familiar. I)r. L. W.

Just a few short months ago we packed our sweat- ers and skirts, cords and plaid shirts and headed for the hill. We were amazed at the changes and the abundance of khaki those first few days. We resented the intru- sion of the army into our hallowed domain. Gradually, though, we ac- cepted and welcomed them to our campus. With an increased feeling of cordiality between the two groups, Ripon once more became the friendly college. The halls of In- gram rang with laughter and spir- ited conversations during ten min- ute breaks. There were sorority so- cials, the League formal, the Inter- sorority dance and informal Union jive sessions. The Diamond ball, Sadie Haw- kins dance, and sorority Ivni.se par- ties dominated our social life sec- ond quarter, but who can forget Saturday nights at the Ripon with Lcnz calling numbers by the hour, Sunday afternoon dinners at the Grand View, snowball fights with CADENCE . .

There were hours of final cram- ming before exams and a multitude of library jaunts to remind us we were in an institute of learning. This quarter we settled down to a manlcss (well, practically) cxis- istence, but found little time for boredom. We chased to the post- office four and five times daily, wrote our nightly letter and plan- ned summer trips to Missouri and Jersey. We speculated on Ripon s future, and did our best to insure it by playing hosts Friendship week-end. The Apollo choir, the open house afterward and the Mil- waukee trip will be long remem- bered. Sororities took on special meaning and importance and they entertained their members lavishly with parties, banquets and picnics.
