Valparaiso arouses cherished memories Which constantly hover, like a halo, about the campus This school is near and dear to its alumni; and it is for us: administration, faculty and student body, to keep it worthy of their esteem I Motivated by that spirit, We have here painted the events of this year into the revival picture of Valparaiso University, and we publish this Record as the laying of another milestone in the onward path of our Alma Matet. , Valparaiso University has survived its crisis and is now recovering to normal conditions. If, however, it is to reach the heights that its rescuers intended for it, it must have capable and conscientious leadership, as well as the loy- al support of its sons and daughters. Last fall, Rev. 0. C. Kreinhedet, of Detroit, was inaugu- rated as the president of this institution, there- by accepting the responsibility of leading it onward. To the new president who has won the affection of the student body and toward whom the friends of Valparaiso are looking for its successful guidance; and to the alumni of this institution, who have ever remained faithful and who are eager for its development, we re- spectfully dedicate this Record. Oliver Petty Kinsey was H. B. Brownis able coewoz'ket and bee came vice-ptesident of Valparaiso University in 1881. 9 2' 0 IIEDDYNDIIIKEKJMVTFEUET - ,. ADMINISTRATION '2CLASSES.

The greatest period of prosperity Which any nation has ever known was followed last year by a sudden collapse of business, industry and finance, a collapse so general and so keenly felt as to make many question the very structure of our industrial civilization. Out of the welter of shattered hopes and ideals there stands out one overwhelming fact. It is this, that also in our material civilization character alone is permanent and victorious. Fore tunes may be swept away over night. They provide no secure anchorage. Life,s true values are not the ephemeral things of time and sense. Happiness and prosperity do not come through the multiplication of machines, the distribution of comforts and luxuries, through inventions and discoveries extending the power of men and leading to the deihcation of the symbol of this industrial agFthe almighty dollar. The depression has forcibly shown how vain in themselves these things are for genuine happiness and peace. Our Savior said long agoeand the economic depression has again emphasized the truth of His Word: Man does not live by bread alone. It is my hope that out of the present disillusionment will come a generation Which places first things ntst, which realize the superior value of the things of the spirit, the things that are not seen and are eternal. Another class of young men and women is leaving our institution to take up life,s tasks and assume its responsibilities. May I urge them ever to place character above gold, godliness above apparent material prosperity, ufor godliness with contentment is a great gain. President Pagg Seventeen 'k Page Eighteen THE RECORD 3111 ilialemnrg OLIVER PERRY KINSEY In the death of Oliver Perry Kinsey there passed from the scene of American education a truly great character. If greatness is measured in terms of universal recognition, probably his claim to distinction is open to debate. But if greatness is measured, as in the last analysis it must be measured, in terms of unseliish service to humanity, there can be no doubt as to the title of the late Mr. Kinsey to a niche in the temple of fame. To Oliver Perry Kinsey, no less than to his equally great comrade and other self, Henry Baker Brown, belongs the credit of having created the first and only really demo- cratic university in this country, probably in the Whole 1931 7A 'ZQ THE RECORD world. It would be difficult indeed to find another col- lege so unique, so well adapted to the needs of its stue dents, so disdainful of conventions and traditions, and yet so passionately and thoroughly devoted to the highest and noblest ideals of education as the Valparaiso University of Brown and Kinsey. These two extraordinary men succeeded in maintain- ing for more than a generation a school dedicated to their faith in the worth and dignity of the common man, a school that embodied in its educational program the basic conceptions of American political, social, and economic philosophy, a school that acted on the assumption that all men are born With the inalienable right to share in the adg vantages and opportunities of a democratic society, a school that recognized no distinction arising from tank wealth, or educational background, a school that insisted on the education of the heart as well as the training of the mind, a school that played a most Vital part in the devel- opment of the great Middle West and the near South, a school, in brief, that met a paramount need in a mag- nificent way and With almost miraculous results. To argue that such a school would at the present time be an academic anachronism is altogether gratuitous and beside the point. Men and their deeds must be judged in the light of their own age, their own problems, and their own ideals. Judged in that light, the greatness of Mr. Kinsey, as that of Mr. Brown, both of them fearless plOe neers, stands secure against the ravages of timeaWalter E.

Vice-President MARIE FRICKE .............................................. Secretary T HEODORE HENNIG ' ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, T teasutet While reorganizing Valparaiso University and placing it upon a firm foundation the administration deemed it appropriate for the student body of such an institution to have a hand in its government. Early in 1930 this idea was presented at a convocation in an effort to arouse interest in the subject and to get some reactions. After due consideration the two bodies came to the common conclusion that this university should have a Student Council, which should co-operate with the administration in governing the student body. Of- Iicers were chosen to serve for the year 1930-31; thus a fond hope became an actuality. In describing this new organization it may be interesting to know its purpose, which is given in the constitution as follows: The purpose of the Student Council shall be to enact and enforce legislation as is within the scope of its powers as hereinafter set forth, in order to harmoniously co-ordinate the student body of the various colleges or of the several organizations on the came pus into an efficient and uniiied university group. Its membership consists of: President, Vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the council, and repre- sentatives from the several colleges chosen according to definite rules. The of- ficers must be regular day students and members of the Senior class; they are elected by popular vote of the entire student body. Meetings of these mem- bets are held at an appointed time. 1931 Page Twenty-faur THE RECORD 7A I and EXecutive Board One of the most active groups Within the Student Council is the executive board. It consists of the regular oflicers of the Student Council and of the presidents of the tribunals of the various colleges. The president of the uni- versity, the business manager, the dean of administration and the dean of stu- dents are non-Voting eX-oHicio members of the executive board. Its main pur- pose is to carry out the plans of the Student Council and to put into operation all its legislation. Probably most important of all committees Within the Student Council is the calendar committee. In conjunction with the dean of administration and the dean of students, it prepares the calendar of student functions. It receives petitions for dates from the various organizations and With the approval of the Student Council can grant or refuse such requests. The committee consists of three members. Together With the influence it has in student legislation, the Student Council has the power of electing the staffs of the various major publications recommended by a committee consisting of several members of the administra- tion, a faculty adviser, editor and business manager of the publication and president and vice-president of Student Council. Thus it is seen that it exer- cises some power and has influence over student activities. Since this has been the first year of its existence Student Council has spent most of its efforts in getting organized upon a firm basis. It was in: strumental in bringing about Home Coming and the Athletic Beneiit game. It is our sincere hope that Within another year, Student Council Will operate in such a manner that it may fully carry out its purpose of harmonizing our stu- dent body into a comparative Whole. 1931 Page Twenty-vae MORELAND Dean of Law School .

Most humbly did these freshmenis university life begin With the ordeal of initiation; however, sweet reyenge was theirs in treating the following freshe men in a similar manner. During the sophomore year they established the precedents of the cap rush, and the reception given in honor of the freshmen. As juniors they repaired any grievance Which might have been theirs toward those of their seniority when freshmen by giving a steak roast in honor of the senlors. As seniors, experiencing the finale of their student life, there is that look backward over the four years now completed. The great admiration they have secured for Valparaiso University, the appreciation for the Christian atmosphere it has afforded them, and the inspiration of their friendly adviser, Prof. Finkle, prompts them to a life-long loyalty to their dear Alma Mater. . 1931 '4 K Page T hirty-xix .A hi ,..... , 4-.- .xN V; THE RECORD JULIUS WILLIAM ACKER A. B. Fort Wayne, Indiana Julius came to Valpo as a graduate from Concordia in St. Louis. In describing him, capablen is the word. He is always Willing to help and he puts things across. Much of the success of the Walther League is due to his constant efforts. It doesnit take him forever to decide any- thing; there is only one incident of an iiOr-ahii in his life. MARTIN FREDERICK AHRENs B. S. in Com. Engir. Dodge Center, Minnesota Thug is a quiet young Minnesota boy with a determination that has undoubt- edly had a great inHuence in adding Com- mercial Engineering to the curricula of Valparaiso University. He has served faithfully in his engineering Work, as business. manager of programs for the Alpha Psi Omega, and as waiter for the hungry horde that dines at his tables in Altruria Commons. GLADYS ANDERSON. A. B. in Educ. Hobart, Indiana Miss Anderson is a teacher in the Hobart schools and has done most of her work during summer terms. Last semes- ter, however, on a leave of absence, she convinced Dr. Kroencke that she could carry twenty-two hours-ean accomplish- ment-in order to hnish. She writes poetry very well. 1931 Page T hirty-swen '71 THE RECORD AMERICO ANTENARE Pb. C. Chicago, Illinois Duke, was chosen as student assistant to Dean Lofgren, and has proved himself quite capable. His untiring energy in lab- oratories is something to be envied, and insures him to be a Wide-awake phar- macist. MARIAN BAADE A. B. in Educ. Logansport, Indiana Alpha Phi Delta ,In the second semester of last year, Marian left Valpo, but she just had to come back again. School is so much fun! Her name should have been Mary instead of Marian because she is always ready to laugh. Several years ago she was Smile Girl; then she turned to write witticism for the Torch and Record. Now she is going to teach English and history. RAYMOND BASSO Pb. C.

By the way, did you ever see him Without Heddy? He finished school last semester and is now working in Fort Wayne. WILLERT PAUL BEER LL. B. Chicago, Illinois Alpha Epsilon Willert received his two years of pre- legal Work at Concordia, River Forest. While here he has been active in intra- mural athletics, especially basket ball. He has a quiet demeanor and a pleasant dis- position. FRANK JOSEPH BIONDI Pb. C. West Springheld, Mass. uPop is the one student Who is never late or absent.

Getting out into the world will not be difficult for him because he has worked several years previous to his graduation. CYRIL JULIUS BOSTEDT B. S. in E. E. Gurnee, Illinois Cyril is a hardworking engineer who surely will make a success in the world. He is always interested in and helping with whatever the Engineering School does. His sense of humor is such that if he once gets started to laugh he makes a day of it. A. B. in Educ. Hats off to the composer of the Vic- tory March ! If one catches iiGusii in the midst of a trick or hears some of his wise cracks, one would never suspect his talents unless the look in his eyes would give him away. He is a splendid director, which fact was proved by the victory of his band in the contest. 7A '4 About i THE RECORD R MARVIN CLARENCE CARLSON B. S. in E. E. Valparaiso, Indiana Marvin is a walking dynamo of almost limitless energy. His extreme loyalty to Valpo has prompted him to perform tasks the Benefit of Which the University Will continue to reap long after this class has $1:- ve :7 been forgotten. Marvin has chosen spring time when he should change his fancy from Engineering to thoughts of social life. His thoughts seem to have followed the poetis inclination and drifted in the direction of St. Louis. ROBERT KNIGHT CLEMENS LL. B. Gary, Indiana iiBob,i received his pre-legal education here at Valpo. The unequaled industry With Which he has pursued the study of law has prepared him well for the prac- tice of that profession With his father, an attorney at Gary. We believe that iiBobisii wife has inspired him to reach greater scholastic attainments. HILBERT WILLIAM DAHMS LL. B. Oconomawac, Wisconsin Kappa Iota Pi Shorty, the happy-go-lucky lawyer, has spent the five years necessary for the acquisition of a degree, here at Valpo. During that time he has participated in various activities, earning his tiV by means of baseball. He and Mox have the honor of being the Mutt and Jeffii 0f the campus. 1931 Page Farty-one 'Z THE RECGRD Page Forty-two 1931 HENRY S. DAUGHERTY Pb. C.

He was the manager of the football team this year and is very proud of his big iiV sweater. His favorite phrase of jest is, Genius is the capacity for avoiding hard work? ROBERT FRANK DETTELBACH A. B. La Salle, Illinois Bob is the Beau Brummel one sees driving on College avenue in a Buick coupe. His personality is such that he wins the affection of all who know him. He likes to drive, to have a good time, and a certain somebodyll in town. ROBERT LEON DONNADIEU Pb. C.

Aside from taking part in all school activities, Joe has some time for the fair sex. We predict a great future for Joe. MARIE META FRICKE A. B. in Educ. Dehance, Ohio Gamma Phi Peg is the kind of girl everybody likest because she is sweet, friendly, and fun-loving. For that reason she was ehosen Smile Girl in 1929. The only trouble is that one person monopolizes her time so much that we don,t have a chance to be with her as much as we would like. Its all right, Demmy; we donlt blame you a bit. Even Valpo wonlt be quite the same without her. 7A 'Z J THE RECORD MARIA BERTHA FRIEDRICH A. B. Hobart, Indiana MmiechenH is one of the persons With Whom we connect thoughts of the library and books.

The class, consisting of over two hundred students, was faithful in class and university activities. On their flrst Friday night here the boys had the traditional pajama pa- rade, conducted by the sophomores. 'The girls had a week of initiation and everyone proved to be good sports. The boys were faithful in carrying out the green cap custom and the girls were loyal in wearing the traditional green arm- bands. The boys were defeated in the cap rush on Homecoming Day, and the green caps and armbands were not discarded until after Thanksgiving. Early in January the sophomores gave a party for the freshmen at which new acquaintances were made and a co-operative feeling established. Next year we hope to do bigger and better things for the university and for our own interests. 1931 Page Eiglzty-foztr 7A 7g THE RECORD F. Affeldt, J. Adnew, E. Ahlbrand, F. Allen, R. Allen, 0.

Football Football, that crashing, smashing American game, that annually thrills inillions upon millions of fans and fanettes the country over, was the prom- inent feature of intetscholastic competition on the Valparaiso athletic card dur- ing the fall of 1930. The Brown and Gold piled up their most impressive record since 1923. When they last were crowned champions of the Western con- ference. This yearys team, despite handicaps, dug their sharpened spurs into the hard turf and improved With each contest until at the close of the successful season they loomed as veritable giants on defense and Wild bears on oifense. A week before the commencement of the fall semester Coach Christy, as he has been adoringly named by the members of his squads, sent forth into the open atmosphere the vibrations of his vocal cords in order that any piga skin artists might respond and don the moleskins. The mentor was dismayed when he noticed that only seven of his last yearis proteges had returned to the JOE DEMYAN Assistant Coach 1931 Pa g3 i'ViHHy THE RECGRD RESERVES fold, but a smile quickly flitted across his countenance as be scrutinized the available material he could draw from. With a pointing index finger he hur- riedly counted fortyyseven new prospects. True the majority of these were of the green typeegreen as far as college football was concerned at any rate-but he figured and hoped that in this case quantity might be partially indicative of quality. Valparaisols gridiron machine, like all successful gridiron machines, had its stars. The most notable of these perhaps, was uFighting Kowalski, who skillfully executed the duties of the number iT77 that he wore on his jersey. While he was the most eHicient all-around player on the squad, he garnered for himself a reputation on his line-smashing tactics. The other backneld aces were Harold Schultz, the shifty broken-lield runner, and Bud Allan, the leading scorer. The linemen, Whose work most generally is passed upon without praise, showed more individual ability on the Brown and Gold than did the ball care riers. ilButch Heinecke, the dependable veteran, played the ilHank Bruder role by breaking his ankle before the Manchester tilt.

Besides this, the short cropped Jirka, along with Olson, the Swede who had the signal post, and T77 Kowalski, was given honorable mention in the In- diana honorary football roster. Captain Shimek proved himself an able leader and a good defensive guard. Captain-elect Smatlak was a tower of strength. Breseman and Schubert could always be depended upon to tear the opposing lines and there was no gaining ground through their positions. An Interview With the Reviewers BRIGHT LIGHTS BURN UP VALPO Artiiicial illumination coupled with inexperience proved to be Valparaisds biggest handicap as Ball Teachers taught their students a lesson and sent them to bed with a 14 to 0 spanking. The game was played at Muncie and it was the BrownTs first experience under the expanse of the high-powered candles. The first half was a sea-saw affair. The stone wall tactics of the invaders saved Muncie the trouble of scoring at least two touchdowns. As the second spasm opened the inevitable came up to the surface. A series of smashes and end runs caused the scorekeeper to put up the number 7 for the home team. The last quarter saw the teachers on parade again and it was good for another lucky 7.

The learning this time was only good enough to beat Coach Christiansen's cohorts in a game of football by one point, but on the four lettered word honly hinges an article long enough for a couple of newspaper columns. This tionlyh was due to the educated toe of Cassioppi, which sent the oiled pigskin between the upright posts to give Mt. Morris a 7 to 6 decision. It was Valpois home debut and a creditable showing was displayed. How- ever, they lacked confidence in themselves, and it helped the visitors to keep their slate clean. This slate after the conclusion of the season read: Tth. Morris college has been listed as one of the nine colleges in the country having neither tied not lost any football games for the year 1930?

ENGINEERS MANUFACTURE A 36 TO 6 VICTORY The local color bearers could not cope with the tactics of the powerful league-leading Rose Poly gridiron machine, so the Engineers administered a 36 to 6 lacing to the visiting Brown and Gold crew. The game was played on Rose Polyis Homecoming day, and so the loyal supporters of the Terre Haute school went home happy. a aw W, Page Ninety-Mree F Vg n THE RECORD L. Hale, Tackle R. Jitka, End A.

The hosts scored a safety, a touchdown and an extra point While Valpo, due to some sensational line-smashing by Behnke, and a brilliant run by Schultz, garnered themselves a touchdown. This happened to bring more glory to Valparaiso as these six points were one-half the number of points scored against the champs during the entire season. The third quarter was all Creedon, the dynamo half-back, Who smashed the line, circuited the ends and transformed the field into a march. He scored three touchdowns in this chapter. The closing minutes saw the guests stage a stellar parade that brought them Within sixteen yards of the hostis goalebut the bellowing gun ended the fray before Valpo could reach its destiny. SPARTANS ADMINISTER DEFEAT The fourth game on the schedule'directed Captain Shimek and mates to the port of the Manchester Spartans, the runners-up in the flag race. It was again a homecoming affair so Valparaiso folded up their sails and sunk beneath the 27 to 7 mauling.

The Concordians fell before the tenacious visitors by a count of 27 to 0 It was not only Valparaiso s second successive conquest, but it was also their second suc- cessive shut- out administration. Allan, freshman luminary, strengthened his reputation by putting on a Page Nizzely-five '4: THE RECORD , A. Boerger, Guard P. Rusinski, Half-back C.

Late in the first half the Hvest pocketii half-back skirted the right flank to jaunt iifty-Iive yards to his only touchdown of the day.

Breseman, Guard P. Willer, Full-back L. Kumnick, Guard VALPO PROVES TO BE A GOOD MUD HORSE The teachers evidently didnlt take to mud as well as Captain Shimek and his mudders did. However, the most even contest of the season was reeled off when Danville Normal was conquered on Brown Field by a 6 to 0 tune. At that it appeared that if it had not been for the falling precipitation and the condition of the field that the home team would have won their victory in a cake-walk. ' It was a defensive battle through and through, With the final outcome a continual doubt at all times. Schubert, the center recently discovered before the game by Coach Christy, proved to be the roving center. At all times he was in the thick of the battle. He blocked, tackled and tore holes in a big way. He passed with precision despite the muddy condition, and he snagged an enemy pass and dashed thirty-five yards before his face was rubbed in mud. For three quarters neither eleven had been successful in changing the score- less tie. However, mid-way in the final spasm, Kowalski and Schultz. by plunging from the 48-yard strip to the 20-yard line, renewed the BroWn and Gold efforts. Then due to strategy and fine execution Schultz tossed aglateral pass to Jirka who escaped the Danville clutched fingers and scored the winning tally.

Prange, Quarterback W. Schubert, Center C. Hellerman, End Brown and Gold. They met with a 19 to 14 pasting and the game was not as close as the score might indicate. The backs of the local institution were charging flercely while the line was the same old brick wall that saved so many touchdowns from opponents. Kowalski again demonstrated his value when he galloped for two touchdowns. Carey scored the final touchdown. In the final quarter the coach injected his third team and it inspired the Wheatonites to score fourteen points in a hurry. The gun ended the fracas that started out to be a cross-country match. YOUTH OVERCOMES OLD AGE The final set-to staged by Coach Christy and his slashing cohorts proved to be the sixth straight for them. This game was played on Thanksgiving in snow drifts that were high enough to graze oneTs ears. The victims were the Alumni, luminaries of days gone by. The stars of former years, notably Toe- pel, Sawyers, McCord, LembkegDyche and the coach, Earl Scott, put on the game as a charity bout, Kowalski was again the stellar performer but Carey eclipsed him in the way of scoring touchdowns. The former piled up one to the latteris two. The linemen Who proved to be the real heroes were Hale, Breseman, Jirka and Shimek. Thus Valpo ended its successful season. Coach Christiansen deserves plen- ty of credit and he claims he anticipates another winner next fall.

CBasketbaH 7 THE RECQRD , 7 Late in November the Valparaiso athletes packed up their moleskins and placed them among the moth balls. This was the signal for the muscular lads to dig out their old basketball equipment, and for them to trek down to Boucher gymnasium to sharpen their basket eyes. Many candidates answered Coach Christiansenls numerous calls, but of a necessity only a few were chosen for further development. After the ax had finished swinging some twelve candidates were numbered among the varsity. Of these only Captain Tom Winebrenner, Merz, Schultz, Strutz, and Olsen saw action on the 1929-1930 squad. The new men were: Kowalski, a junior; Schmidt, a sophomore, and Bauer, Barnekoff, Rucinski, Shook, and Haueisen, freshmen. During the winter of 129 and 330 the bearers of the Brown and Gold met up with some high class opposition and only annexed four out of fifteen contests. This season just past, however, unfolded a new era. The veterans and the ambitious frosh combined efforts to produce the most successful season that Valpo has witnessed since Hector was a pup, and that was some time ago. The final standing gave the local thin-clads a record of sixteen games won and two lost. This achievement placed them in third place in the Indiana Inter- collegiate Conference, a league which has sixteen members. They placed a half a game behind Butler College and two games behind Central Normal. ; . 53 This uVictory FiveXl as they have been correctly named,; scored 177 goals and 139 free throws for a total of 493 points. This is an average of 28 points per game. On the other hand the opponents connected for only 331 points, or a little better than an eighteen point average. . The local quintet won their final twelve games, and they did not lose a game after January 9, when they met defeat at the hands of the classy Man Chester Spartans. Both setbacks were on foreign courts, and Christiansenis crew successfully overcame all invaders at Boucherls gymnasium. Their closest call was against this same Manchester outlit, who succumbed by one point. The star of the aggregation, undoubtedly, was Emory Bauer, freshman flash, who alternated at guard and forward.

The other players who were responsible in a large way for the showing of the Brown and Gold were: Winebrenner, the brainy leader; Barnekoff, elongated center who rose rapidly to stardom from mid- -season on, and who was second in the scoring column; Merz, the diminutive dribbling flash, and Rucinski, Kowalski and Schultz, the llashy trio Who could be depinded upon at all times. REVIEW OF REVIEWS MAROONS BECOME FIRST VICTIMS To inaugurate the season Coach Christy took his varsity crew to River Forest, where they met and defeated the Maroons. The final tabulation was: Visitors, 28; Concordia, 23. The basket artists from Valpo led nearly all the way. Emory Bauer started his college career auspiciously by sinking six buckets and a gratis heave. Merz followed closely with three baskets and two free throws;. The Brown and Gold functioned immediately and shot ahead to an early 7 to 2 lead. Concordia, however, dropped in a few neat ringers to come up to within one point of their opponents. The end of the first half saw the in- vaders leading by 16 to 14. When the second period opened Valpo exploded another volley of shots that brought the count up to 20 to 14. The aggressive Maroons fought back again until they gained a 22 to 21 lead. Bauer and Winebrenner then got into action to bring the score to its final status. VALPOlS COMEBACK UPSETS CHICAGOANS The initial game on the local hardwood saw the Brown and Gold en- counter the American College of Physical Education, of Chicago. It was a thriller from start to linish and due to over-exertion in an overtime by the home lads they came out ahead by a 31 to 22 count. At the time of intermission the hosts were trailing 10 to 12 With eleven minutes to go Valp o seemed doomed to defeat, for the traveling cagers pos- sessed a 22 to 13p margin That was where their scoring activities ceased 7'11931 Page One Hundred One Bauer, Forward Kowalski, Forward Rucinski, Guard however, and Captain Winebrenner and his fighting aggregation put on a rally that netted them a 22 to 22 tie at the end of the regulation period. The overtime was all Valparaiso. Bauer dropped in two buckets, while Rucinski and Kowalski got one apiece. Winebrenner shoved in a free throw to close the scoring for the evening. ' PIRATESi CRACKER-BOX CAUSES DOWNFALL The next evening Coach Christy traveled to Elmhurst with his crew, but they returned empty handed. Due to the smallness of the gym, and due to their failure to convert Elmhurst fouls into free throws, the visitors were downed 27 to 21. The game was a rough affair and it caused the referee to toot his whistle at frequent intervals. Before the fracas ended seven men were forced to leave the game via the foul route. The Brown and Gold completely outclassed the husky Pirates, especially on Hoor play. The visitors threw away the game by inexcusably missing set shots. Merz headed the scoring column with nine points. Baueris two field goals and one charity heave were worth five points. BREWERS FIND VALPARAISO HOT Even though it was their third game in four days the Brown and Gold handed Concordia of Milwaukee 3 35 to 22 setback. The game, the iinal for 1930, was played at Boucher gymnasium. The Christiansen coached cagers showed a lot of improvement and a fast and furious game was the result. The triumph saw the Valpo speed mere chants, Merz and Bauer, hit the bucket for a combined total of 22 points, enough to tie the Beer Barons. Of the 22 counts Ralph chalked up fourteen and Emoryr marked up the other eight. The visitors got off to an impressive 6 to 0 lead but the half saw the home quintet with a 14 to 10 margin. The beginning of the second half was a sea- saw affair. Gradually the local superiority rose to the surface. With five min- utes to go the eventual winners were on the long end of a 30 to 16 count. Then with a minute to go Mau, Concordia high scorer, counted his final basket to close the yearis productions. VALPO OPENS 1931 WITH A VICTORY Captain Winebrenner and the other Valpo netmen started the 1931 sea- son by snagging two out of three contests in as many days. 5X3 1931 Page Owe Hundred Two THE RECQRD 7A Merz, Forward Shook, Guard Olsen, Guard The first game was against Chicago Tech at Boucher, and was a 19 to 13 victory for the Valpoites. The Brown and Gold could have swamped the in- vaders had they so desired, but wisely they conserved their strength for the tilts with Manchester and Mt. Morris. Leisurely the hosts handled the iniiated contraption in their own part of the court. At intervals the Christiansen men broke loose underneath the bucket, but their shooting was sloppy. The local scoring, as usual, was quite well divided. Merz, high point man, sent the leather through the hoop three times, for six points. Barnekoff, with five counters, and Rucinski, with four, followed closely in the total point column. SPARTANS ISSUE LAST SPANKING Some philosopher once claimed that lightning does not strike twice in the same place, but it occurred on the Valpo sport schedule, for both in football and basketball the Manchester Spartans had the distinction to hand the Brown and Gold their final defeat. In both sports the Valpoites started their historic bang-up winning streaks after tasting the bitter capsule of defeat at the hands of the Spartans. On the court the victory string mounted to an even dozen. The well-drilled hosts, who boasted the startling combination of Chap- man, Piper and DuBois, marched through the defense of the Brown and Gold for a 37 to 24 victory. The above-mentioned trio combined their activities for thirty-four points. Chapman, tangy forward, garnered seven buckets and a duo of free throws for sixteen points. Piper helped himself to ten points, and DuBois scored eight. For the visiting team Merz was the offensive leader; he tallied eight points. Haueisen and Bauer connected with the outstretched net for five and four count- ers, respectively. MT. MORRIS LOSES THRILLER One of the most thrilling contests of the season was put on exhibition when Mt. Morris invaded the 'lair in Valparaiso, and it was a fitting climax for the strenuous three-day session. Valpois aggressiveness and accuracy at the foul line gave the local color bearers a margin that was sufficient to nose out the Illinoisans by a score of 29 to 25. On this particular evening Captain Tom and his aggregation employed a fast-breaking offense that clicked with regularity. They displayed a team of five stars-it was necessary if they were to defeat the sharpshooters from the Little'Nineteen Conference. '- 1931 , ii Page One Hundred Three Schmidt, Forward Strutz, Center Haueisen, Guard Bauerls eleven points, and the lloor work of Winebrenner and Merz were the high lights in the victory. Potter and Greve, Mt. Morris hotshots, played brilliantly, and they constantly menaced the local club. VALPARAISO NOT AWED BY CHICAGO GUNMEN Maybe it was Plato or Christiansen that once said nWhen in Rome do as the Romans do. This must have reached the ears of the Valparaiso thin, clads in some manner, at any rate, for they Visited Chicago on the afternoon of January 16, and shot and shot until they shot themselves to a 30 to 20 victory over the American College of Physical Education of that city. Bol, the center who was a thorn in ValpoTs side previously, might have shot until he garnered twelve points, but all the Valparaiso netmen shot until everyone but Kowalski scored at least one point. The East Chicago speed artist, Rucinski, counted from the freld three times, and the same number of times from the gratis line, to lead the Hilltoppers. BarnekollE and Merz were tied for second honors with a brace of seven points. Bauer was held to four pomts. VALPO RETURNS TO CHICAGO AGAIN To illustrate that they had no fear of Chicago tradition the speed mere chants from College Hill returned to Chicago for their second game in the metropolis in six days. Again they shot and shot, but this time Chicago Tech fell before the fearless invaders. The score this time was 29 to 21. Good old Julius Cezar, note the z? and Deckering, both from Chicago, were the high point men of the occasion, but for the sake of keeping up local tradition, established this season, eight out of nine players scored for Valpo. Barnekoff bagged six markers for the local lThonorsW The Chicagoans showed a smoother combination than, on their previous encounter at Valparaiso. Captain Winebrenner was lost to the team due to illness, and it weakened the squad accordingly. BREWERS PADLOCKED Prohibition does not pay! Just ask the Brewers from Concordia College, Milwaukee, how they enjoyed being padlocked by the Brown and Gold. The shameful deed was accomplished When they were repulsed by a tune of 19 to 10. It was the only occasion, until this game, that Grams and Mau were held to less than ten smackers apiece. The final game before mid-season exams was a rough and tumble affair, due to intense rivalry. The Beer Barons were primed for this particular game ' 1931 Page One Hundred Four her 1.2. 7A THE RECORD but they could not penetrate the zone defense as taught by Christy. Barnekoff, led the locals, his basket eye accounting for eleven points, enough to defeat Milwaukee in itself. Bauer garnered six and Merx twoethis trio alone found their way into the scoring column. Milwaukee lost only three out of eighteen encounters this past season, two of them to the Brown and Gold. Another accomplishment for Valpo. PIRATES MEET DOOM The Elmhurst Pirates possessed one victory over the V. U. team, but they could not even come close to winning their game at Boucher gymnasium. , Meekly theyefoldediup under the driving onslaught of their hosts, who sought and found revenge. They went home With a stinging 23 to 13 defeat. A revamped lineup Which contained four frosh and a junior gave Coach Christiansen the speed, height and accurate tossing that he needed to carry him through the brunt of the remaining schedule. This combination shot ahead to a commanding 15 to 4 lead at the hallc time, and they coasted in with ease in the last half. ENGINEERS FOOTBALL DEFEAT AVENGED Rose Poly Tech, conquerors in a pigskin game over the locals, bitterly succumbed to Valpo by a 17 to 15 count in basketball. The close contested tilt was held in Terre Haute, and it was a sour pill for the Engineers to swallow. The sixth consecutive victory, and the tenth triumph in twelve starts, proved to be a skillful exhibition of tight defense. The first half was mostly Valparaiso, for the thin-clads from the Hilltop led at the intermission 13 to 4. The hmts1 endeavors to penetrate the close defense displayed by their guests were futile. The second half was a different story. The Brown and Gold stalled, but Rose Poly bombarded the net With long range shooting until they crept within two points of a tie. The whistle stopped in time to see the Visiting tribe come out on top. AURORA VMASSACRED The northern Illinois representatives, the Aurora Spartans, were not pow- erful enough to compete with the polished Valparaiso Iive. A rampaging Brown and Gold squad entertained the visiting crew and sent them home with a stinaing 30 to 11 setback. The new combination that wrecked the hopes of Elmhurst and Rose Poly functioned again against Aurora. After they put the game on ice, substi- tutions were made freely. The Brown and Gold led at the time of intermission 15 to 7, mainly due to the two long arched and graceful shots of Pete Rucinski, and his three swishing gratis tosses. In the final session Aurora was limited to a quartet of points, while Valpo again countered nfteen. MANCHESTER SUNK IN HOT BATTLE The climax of the successful season was staged When Valparaisds time- honored foe, the ever-powerful and machine-like Manchester Spartans, were nosed out in the hottest of heated encounters, by the close shave of 22 to 21. What a tussle! The Brown and Gold, under the mental hazard of meet- ing the supposedly invincible Black and' Gold, folded up from the opening toot to the middle of the flrst half, trailing once by a count of 13 to 3. However, at that stage of the game Harold Schultz, football ace, took matters in his own hands and mainly due to his activities, Valpo was behind only 15 to 8 at the half. . The second half has written another chapter in the Hill annals, for un- believably they held the Spartans scoreless from the field and they themselves 1931 ' Page One Hundred Fiat N th THE RECORD 7 , ,7 climbed to a 20 to 17 advantage. Three successive free throws by DuBois knotted the count, but charity ringers by Kowalski and Bauer offsetione by Chapman, and it was the game. . ' Chapman failed to become a hero When he missed a sleeper that would have won the game in the nnal minute of play. In fact, the big star failed to sink a goal all evening, but six free throws were his contribution. AURORA AGAIN ROUTED To celebrate their revengeful Victory over the Manchester Spartans Val- paraiso traveled to Aurora and celebrated by romping over the Aurora Spar, tans by a tune of 40 to 14. It was the largest score run up by the locals dur- ing the year. . Coach Christiansen again decided to juggle his lineup. This time he started Schmidt and Kowalski at forwards, Strutz at center, and Schultz and Shook at guards. This combination clicked with regularity and in the iirst half they rolled up twenty-two points. After this he substituted at random and the cosmopolitan lineup bagged an additional nineteen markers. WASHBURN SWAMPED The Washburn quintet, of Chicago, traveled to Valparaiso to close the regular season, and they could not match the speed and aggressiveness of the local collegians, so they were flattened 37 to 8ethe lowest number of points scored by any of. the opponents of the Brown and Gold this season. The tenth straight was a Iitting close to the season. It was not as wild as the score might indicate, for both teams showed wonderful team work. The Visitors fell down because they could not penetrate the defense displayed by the thin-clads from Valpo, and they did not score many points. Barnekoff, the six feet-four inches of lanky center, kept up the pace that he set for himself in the final games, by piling up eleven counters. Rucinski was right behind with nine markers. REDMEN SCALPED The fearless whites from Valpo U waged war with the menacing St. Mary Redmen in the nrst of the post-season games. This upset was surpris- ing, for it was to have been a warm-up for St. Marys of Winona, Minnesota, who were on a tour, before they encountered Detroit university. ' The game was interesting and intense, and the Valpoites administered a 22 to 18 tomahawking. The Brown and Gold continued on their uVictory Marchil by showing a classy form. The first half ended with the underdogs leading the pack 13 to 5. llWhiteyll Barnekoff, Hoosier deluxe, stole the whole show by accounting for all of his teamls points, and Captain Tasto rang up the five counters for the invaders. The last half saw Captain Winebrenner's whitemen control the ball. However, after Barnekoff fouled himself out of the game St. Marys became hopeful and put on a belated rally with some classy shooting. They fell short of a tie by four points. DELTS BECOME VICTIM NUMBER 12 The second post-season game and the final, was twelve in a row and six- teen out of eighteen for Captain Winebrenner and his cohorts. The annual Sports Night was the occasion when the Valpo Delts were overwhelmed 32 to 21. The saddest part of the game was that Captain Tom Winebrenner and Ralph Mertz sang their swan song. Merz was a three-year veteran, while Winebrenner was a regular for two seasons. Bauer, with four buckets and seven free throws ended his first season in college basketball in a blaze of triumph. Barnekoff annexed seven points, while Kowalski accounted for six. Van Buskirk, a former V. U. luminary and high point man in the state in his senior year, helped keep the visitors in the running with his nine points. 1931 Page One Hundred Six R2 Ill: .. q Walter Gilb regular tb ' Brooklyn sic I 922, is aseman for the CBaseball THE RECORII First Row tsittingaeStuenkel, Schultz, Biondi, Dahms, Olsen, Wiuebtenner, Schulz, Skinner.

He may be correct in his assumption at that, for as this missive is being sent. to press, the 1931 baseball team has turned in three successive victories in as many starts. On April 1,8 the athletes from McKinlock campus of Northwestern University visited Brown Field. The Brown and Gold greeted them With a volley of hits. In the initial inning they knocked Canty and Cohn, southpaws, off the rubber and continued the assault against Baron, a right hander, until eleven runs trickled across the plate. The iinal score gave Valpo a 17 to 8 verdict. The following Thursday, a cold day with drizzling rain, Joliet College Visited Valparaiso, and theyeweire routed 11 to 7. Tom Winebrenner, star hurler of the 1930 staff, tested his ailing wing. At no time did he bear down as it was unnecessary to do so. He relinquished five hits and four runs in seven innings. He fanned six opponents during his stay on the mound. Les Hale completed the pitching duties. The following Saturday the Union Specials, of Chicago, hung around Brown Field long enough to be bombarded for a 14 to 3 whipping. Originally ethere Was to have been a double header, but only one six inning game could be reeled 0H.

The DePaul contest found the locals still weak with the Willow, and Steune kel again lamented this fact, and Christyis cohorts bit the dust, 4 to 2. The initial clash With Manchester, however, saw Tom Winebrenner make 1931 Page 0126 flundred Nine 711 V; $ THE RECCIRID his debnt on the slab, and the big ltBerthas of Steunkel, Schultz, et 31., were really booming.

Also, they Whitee washed the locals for the only time during the season. Final score: Manchester 8, Valparaiso 0. In the next game Winebrenner again stepped into the box. His appearance and arm took Concordia of Fort Wayne down the line 4 to 2. After this Winebrenner alone received the call to 1511 the bill on mound assignment, and he breezed through and allowed only four runs in the four final fracases. DePaul took the only whitecoating of the season from local hands when they were bewildered by Winebrenner, 5 to 0. Ball State, on crossing bats for the second time, was downed 6 to 2, Concordia of River Forest was bested 4 to l in a hurlersl battle, and Crane Tech also fell 3 to 1, in the final and best game of the season. 19 31 SCHEDULE April l8eNorthwestern .................... vs. Valparaisoehere.

It was Valpols initial ap! pearance in inter-collegiate :wrestling. Not much was expected of the team because of its gteenness and poor training facilities. However, the Brown and Gold stranglers succeeded in winning twenty-one bouts while losing thirty-iive. The team won only one of the dual meets, but three of the defeats were by the margin of one bout. Only three of the men had previous experience. One of them, J. Smatlak, had won several championships and his experience qualified him to act as coach of the team. Fred Haug proved to be the most consistent winner closely followed by Bradway, Trahms, Miskimins, Jirka, Wiedenhelft, Paison and Smatlak. Nine members of the team showed enough ability in their respective weights to merit letters. They were as follows: Dahl, Miskimins, Trahms, Haug, Jirka, Bradway, Smatlak and Wiedenheft. With the added experience gained this year Valpols wrestling team prom- ises to cut a wide swath in inter-collegiate wrestling next year.

Coach Ruff was handicapped from the start, only two men reported who had had previous training and experience in the ring. These men were Terry Billings, captain of the team, and Donald Tursman. Due to the general in- experience of the men, only one meet was scheduled. Culver Military Academy won the meet, 6 bouts to 2. The Valpo ringmen made a very favorable ShOWe ing, but were no match for the veteran cadets. Martin Bredehoft and Terry Billings registered Valpds two victories.

Already they are swinging Wicked racquets, and daily they go through their strokes on the University clay courts. At present lifteen men have reported to compete for a place on the varsity squad. Of this number only four members are in the veteran class, namely: Giessing, J. Schultz, Merz, and Knake. New men who are displaying promise are: Kolb, Oehlschlaeger, Schowalter, Geuder, Dierker, Biederman and Christopher. Seven men made up the roster of the varsity, so Coach Christiansen arranged a peg tournament in order that the players might receive a rating, the first seven men being given the honor to represent Valparaiso. During inter-collegiate matches the coach put a six-man team on the courts. Thus a combination of six singles and three doubles could be used. The chosen squad had to clash With some real competition. On April 25 the varsity was to have met Joliet College racqueteers, but due to inclement weather the meet was postponed. Only Ball Teachers, of Muncie, remained on the April card. During May Crane College, of Chicago; Concordia, of Fort Wayne, and Manchester College were encountered on foreign courts. At home the two Concordias made their appearance. The windup, during June, will find the Brown and Gold traveling to River Forest. 1931 Page One Hzmdred Fourteen 7A '2 2.2an A M;;F A THE RECORD Anderson, Coach, Peters, Shook, Christy, De Grazia, Nath Golf Valparaiso University has extended its athletic card for the spring of 1931 until it looms formidable even on the links. Some powerful opponents have been booked and at present it seems to be a tough road that the golfers have set before them. The team practices under the watchful and directing eye of Coach Charles 0. Anderson. The team that undertok the burden of representing the U on the greens in the nrst three encounters of the year was composed of Gene De- Grazia, Ewald Nath, Lorin Shock and George Christy. Of this quartet only the first member is a hold-over from last yearls squad. In 1930 the golfers ran up against some tough opposition. They met and bowed to Armour Tech, 11 to 7 and 12 to 6; to DePaul, 13 to 5 and 10 to 8. Besides this they wound up in seventh place in the state meet at DePauw, and tied the Valpo Delts, 3 to 3. This seasonls schedule found Loyola tChicagoy, Notre Dame, DePaul and Armour Tech paying their respects to Valparaisols Country Club. All of these clubs, Notre Dame excepted, were met on their own back yards. As this is being llscribbled the Hilltoppers invaded Loyolals rendezvous and went down, 14 to 4. Notre Dame also were conquerors on the home opening match.

Intramural CRegulation CBaseball The 1930 Intramural regulation baseball season, not to be outdone by any other intramural teams, staged a torid display of baseball prowess, and climaxed it in a dramatic way. A slugging bunch of fools put all available pitchers in hot water and nnally by sheer necessity of picking a champ, the crown was issued to the diamond stars from the Phi Psi house. Two teams, namely the Phi Psils and the Alpha Epsilons, trotted through the first live games on their respective schedulestwithout tasting defeat. Therew fore, it was fitting and proper that the two contenders should close the season by crossing bats; and furthermore, it was a significant fact that the game should end with the victors on top by a slim one run margin. This thriller was staged at Brown Field and both teams lined up confident of a Victoryhone of them had to be wrong! On the firing line for the victors was Ted Peters. His buddy was Carl Murray, who received his sheepskin in 1930. For the runners-up none other than uDonlt Blame Me Bloedel exhibit- ed his wares of curves, drops and upashoots. yWillard kindly consented to do the receiving. Both teams were conlident so their batters stepped up to the plate, took a sock, and ran while the hurlers folded up and gazed at the proceedings with awe. The final count was only nine to eight but that does not indicate the llwooziness that was clogging up the lichampionship bout. Hal Schultz, fence buster deluxe, was the big gunner for the champs, and Carl Murrayls round trip was the deciding factor in the ball game. 1931 Q Page One Hundred Sixteen THE RECORD SittingeForszt, Tomaso, Pietrusinski, Maciejczyk, Lusk.

Intramural CPlayground CBasehall The 1930 Intramural playground baseball championship rests on the heads of the Kappa Psi fraternity, who rushed through their seven games like a whirlwind. The competitors were close on their heels at all times, but the kings proved their superiority as occasions demanded. They started their seven game win streak by cannonading the Scroll and Key 10 to 4. The Kappa Delta Pi could not fathom Pietrusinskiis slants so they folded up 6 to 0. Sigma Delta Chi fared a little better, but in a wild contest the Kappa Psi were victorious, 11 to 7. The next Victims, the Inde- pendents, held the sluggers in check to some degree, but the champs-to-be won out, 9 to 4. In one of the wildest hitting bees and free-for-alls of the season, Phi Psi were crushed, 15 to 11. The opposite was very noticeable, however, in the next contest, for in a thrilling pitching duel, the best of the year, Alpha Epsilon bitterly bit the turf by a 2 to 1 count. The seasonls finale was also a hot affair, Kappa Iota Pi linally relinquishing, 7 to 6. The captain and pitcher was Mike Petrusinski, who handled all of the mound duties. His battery mate, who since has gone elsewhere, was Stypinski, one of the trio of clouters. The other two, who also have taken their diplomas in hand, are: Cummings, shortstop, and Striegel, left fielder. Two others were graduated, Bonick and Kerincik, a duo of Ily Chasers. The infield alone is intact this year, for McHugh, Al Mack, C.

The Collegians, Norsemen and Tigers were tied for second place, each outfit winning three games and losing two. The Scroll and Key won one and lost four, while the Pharmics took five beatings in a row. The I. F. C. League was a red hot affair throughout.

Keeper of Records Womerfs Athletic Association The Womanis Athletic Association has completed its second and most outstanding year in Valparaiso. Physical education is realized to be a very important factor in shaping a girl's life, and athletics are beginning gradually to play a very important part in the life of every Valparaiso co-ed. The Womanis Athletic Association, or W. A. A. as it is popularly known, encourages the interest of women in athletics and promotes physical efficiency, scholarship, and good sportsmanship. The requirements for membership in W. A. A. are determined according to a point system. Membership is gained by earning fifty points the first year, and is retained by earning iifty points 1931 Page One Hundred Twenty 'z... each year thereafter. Points may be won by participation in activities such as hiking, tennis, golf, horesback riding, archery, basketball, baseball, soccer, swim- ming, skating, hockey, volleyball, horseshoes and others. The variety of sports offered has made it possible for every girl to find some sport in which she is especially interested. The tournaments Which are held in the various sports provide friendly rivalry and keen competition. W. A. A. applied for and was granted membership into the Athletic Con- ference of American College Women and the National Amateur Athletic Fed- eration. Two delegates accompanied by Mrs. Alderman attended the joint convention of the National Physical Educational Association and the National Amateur Athletic Federation, Which was held at Detroit, Michigan, March 30 to April 4-. Besides its annual carnival, W. A. A. sponsored a number of lesser aCtiVa ities such as selling refreshments and novelties at the inter-collegiate athletic games for men, sponsbring a sale of Sports Night tickets for the boys, pur- chasing a scale as a gift for Altruria girls, and numerous parties including a swimming party in Gary, a taffy pull, and a supper cooked by the girls at the apartment of their sponsor, Mrss Alderman. The members of W. A. A. acted as hostess to the St. Mary's and Valpois basketball teams after their important game. The party was given in Altruria dining hall in honor of our team. 1931 ' Page One Hundred Twenty-omz VZ THE RECIJRD 7 hChodlit $100135, Annually W. A. A. sponsors a carnival as its big event. UChoctlit Drops was the name chosen for the carnival this year.

This sylvan scene was in the reception room of Altruria on April 24. Colored plantation attendants at every hand gave any needed service. Overalled black boys htstrutted their stuff to the tune of the ttKampus Kings? a negro mammy crooned old Southern favorites, and a merry trio clogged and shumedeall true choc'lit drops. Modern variations, however, provided contrast here and there. A gay master of ceremonies in tuxedo and high silk hat, a hula dance, and a collegiate chorus lent variety to the program. The collegiate chorus, composed of coeds, sang, danced, and generally instilled pep into the audience. Their college chatter and little ditty, hOh, profs, youtre drivint me crazy, was especially well received. A oneeact play, Jazz and Minuet? was also a feature of the evening. As a climax to the nighths entertainment Miss Luella Rae, one of our most popular girls, was acclaimed queen of the carnival, for which she received a beautiful bouquet of red roses. 1931 'Z Page One Hundred Twenty-two THE RECORD Giessing, Zitko, Roe, Sauer, Kroencke, Kowalski, Pioch, Lamb, Heyne. W. A. A. CBaskethall Despite the lack of squcient practice periods, basketball was heralded with great enthusiasm. It was decided at the beginning of the year that all competi- tive games for women would be between the Sophomore-Senior group or the llGold team and the FreshmanuJunior group or the Brown team. Four basketball teams were chosen from these groups: a Brown team, a llBrowne Reservell team, a llGoldll team, and a llGoldeReserve team. Tournaments were played, resulting in Victory for the liGold team. From these four teams the most outstanding players were chosen to repre- sent an honorary varsity squad. The members of this squad were: Forwards, Luella Roe, Ann KoWalski, Zelma Lamb; centers, Alberta Giessing, Esther Heyne, Suzanne Zitko; guards, Selma Kroencke, Hulda Sauer, Eleanor Pioch. When the honorary squad met the Sigma Chils on Sport Night in a 1244 outcome, the most hilarious and outstanding game of the season was played. Clad in brightly colored pajames the men found it diflicult to adhere to the restrictive womenls regulations and penalties were generous. Basketball still remains a prime favorite in the sport realms at Valparaiso, and hopes are cherished for an even more successful season next year with more available practice periods. r 1931 Page One Hundred Twemy-tfu'ee Q THE RECQRD Sports As has been previously stated, variety is the keynote to Valpols sports. During the entire year the W. A. A. is actively engaged in sponsoring sports. It also sponsors the tournaments, but they are open to all the girls. The partic- ipation of each coed in at least one tournament is desired. Extra points toward awards and membership entrance are given for entering a tournament and also for winning matches. Intramural tournaments of tennis, golf, horseshoes, base- ball, basketball, and archery were included in the fall program and resumed in the spring. Tennis introduced the season for womenls athletics this year. In the fall the tennis courts were occupied by enthusiastic players. Numerous closely con- tested matches were held. Then with the advent of spring another rush for the courts began, and many a would-be Helen Wills battled her way to victory. Hiking, especially around Sagers, is very popular in the early fall and spring. It is not an unusual sight to see girls clad in knickers or overalls, carry- 1931 ' Page One Hundred Twerzty-four - Vg THE 11111301111 MN ing a frying pan, eggs, and oranges, leaving Altruria Hall at six dclock in the morning for an invigorating hike of five miles and breakfast in the woods. Archery soon threatens to rival some of the other sports in popularity. UI shot an arrow in the air, It fell to earth, I know not wherefi is fast becoming the wail of many a Valpo miss as she labors to acquire skill in this art. The tournament in horseshoes, which was begun in the fall and resumed in the spring, proved to be one of the most popular. The number of entrants closely rivaled those of tennis. Morning, noon, and night one can hear the horseshoes Ticlinking on the south side of Altruria. Occasionally, girls clad in the garb of horsewomen may be seen on the campus. Some women have become ardent followers of horseback riding, but so far only small strides have been made in the advancement of this sport. Hockey was enthusiastically received, and, armed with the trusty curved stick and togged in sport raiment, the women set out; however, the unfavorable weather conditions made it impossible for much active participation. Girls interested in volley ball were given an opportunity to engage in this sport during class practice. In the fall the golf tournament took the form of bpee-weei, golf matches, and a number of contestants registered. However, in the spring the girls decided they needed more exercise, so out to Forest Park they treaded, dressed in their golf attire and carrying their golf clubs. Track at Valpo has not yet been established on a lirm basis. Girls Who choose to do so may practice during gym classes, and a meet was held in the spring, including a iiftyeyard dash, seventyenve yard dash, a shuttle relay, novelty race, baseball throw, and basketball throw. Baseball, the great American pastime, enjoyed a successful season in Valpo. When warm winds began to blow and spring made its welcome appearance balls and bats came into evidence. Quite frequently one could see a friendly little game being played on the diamond next to Altruria. The gym classes were divided into teams and played regularly. The tournaments of the four color teams were greeted with great enthusiasm. 1931 , yg Page One Hundred Twenty-Jive kV THE RECORD Cflwards The accomplishments of the W. A. A. have been many. Perhaps the most important of these is the establishment of the point system in athletic activities. In order to receive an award for outstanding accomplishments in athletics for women, the individual must earn a certain number of points in a diversified group of sports. Freshmen must earn 250 points to receive the W. A. A. emblem; sophomores must obtain a total of 500 points for the W. A. A. numeral; juniors, 750 points for the 0V . The sweater girls are seniors Who have acquired at least 1,000 points by participating in baseball, tennis, basket- ball, hiking, swimming, skating, horseshoes, archery, and volleyball, and by practicing constructive health habits. Points toward the receiving of an award may be gained by extra practice hours in any of the sports, participation in a tournament, playing on a team, if the team with which she is playing wins a match, if her team wins the tour- nament, and if she is elected to membership of an honorary varsity team. She is also given some extra points for the captaincy of a team. This year a higher award has been made. Of the girls receiving awards, one girl ta senior preferablyy is chosen Who is the most outstanding in leader- ship, health, service, and attitude, and is awarded the Valpo blanket. The requirements for the 0V blanket are of the highest character and include scholarship With at least a 0C average, irreproachable sportsmanship, complete cooperation with the working of the school and especially the W. A. A., strict and conscientious health habits, and participation in two-thirds of the sports offered at the University, attendance at chapel, and participation in clubs, organ- izations, general school activities, and school entertainments. Consequently, the blanket girl is the best all-around woman athlete and deserves all merit and honor. , List of Members: Ruth Andres Paula Meinzen Dorothy Beinecke Geraldine Meister Mildred Beyerlein Anna Mae Miller Millicent Bibza Setta Miller Alma DeLau , Olive Mohlmann Alys Dunn Mary Muir Frances Faris Christine Nelson Irene Franke Irene Nolde Edna Friedrich Eleanor Pioch Maria Friedrich Luella Roe Mildred Garbers Gertrude Ruhlig Alberta Giessing .

Dr. A. W. Smith; of Rochester, N. Y., who had successfully practiced dentistry, butteturned to college to complete an- arts and letters course, was editor-in-chief of this RECORD, volume I. I functioned as business manager and E. D. McIIvain was advertising manager. The decision to launch such a venture was not made until three months before commencement, so there was need for fast work and a lot of high financing. Facing the prospect of going into the iTred Tand there were no philanthropists among uss , the staff hit on some bold expedients. We had more nerve than sense or cents, but ingenious youth was ever that way, I guess. We chartered a nine-coach train from the Pennsylvania Railroad, and worked up a regular Barnum circus scheme of advertising to fill them up on a Class Day excursion to Culver on Lake Maxine kuckee. The idea took like wildfire and when the train pulled out from the Valpo station on a bright Saturday morning it was necessary for some of the TThard-boiled seniors to find a roosting place in the coaletender. The editorial staff refused to take responsibility for enforcement of the well-known Brown and Kinsey code of student behavior on this excursion, but we did guard the receipts with our lives The iirst RECORD was a big financial success, thanks to an adventure in railroading. 193 1 RECORD EDITORIAL STAFF Allan Nierman ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Editor-in-chief Mark Schoknecht ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Assistant Editor Alma Buechner ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Literary Editor Herbert Steinbach ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Athletic Editor Avis Worstell ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Features Editor Edward Martens ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Photographer Dorothy Schoknecht ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Adviser BUSINESS STAFF Elmer Willman ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Business Manager Frank Gtueber ...........................................

Iota Sigma Fratority To stimulate and encourage professional interest in journalism at Val- paraiso, the Iota Sigma, national journalism fratority of Northwestern univere sity established the Beta chapter at Valparaiso university in the spring of 1930. The objects of Iota Sigma are: 1. To promote achievement in journalism. 2. To encourage graduate study in journalism. 3t To bring its members into closer contact With the journalists of the city and country by means of dinners and luncheons, With promi- nent journalists as speakers and also by means of trips to journalistic establishments. One of the outstanding functions of the Beta chapter during the past year consisted of a professional meeting With a group of metropolitan press repre- sentatives. Such dynamic newspaper personalities as Carrie Dolphin, Frances Farmer, E. L. Bensinger, Boyd Gatewood were guests of Iota Sigma at this occas1on. In conjuaf 'on with the annual semester field trip through a Chicago news- paper plan; ??Sigma sponsored a dinner at the Knickerbocker hotel With H. F. Harri gt n, dean of the College of Journalism at Northwestern univer- sity, as the principal speaker.

Mr. Schweppe, the director, started to build his choral group upon a foundation of one yearls existence; now it has reached the place where it is becoming outstanding for its emotional release and beau- tiful tone quality. Although much singing is done a-capella, some of the most beautiful numbers are accompanied. Since it is the aim of the director to offer a complete musical ctoss-section, the selections run the gamut from Bach to Russian music, even venturing into secular music at times. All accompaniments are played by Stacey L. Green, and Mrs. Hazel Dieseth-Schweppe does the solo work. Due to the business depression, choir concerts have been only three in num- bet. The first of these was the Benefit Concert given in the University Audi- torium, January 13. It was successful and was appreciated by the people of Valparaiso. The second one on January 24 in North Side High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana, was sponsored by the Quest Club of that city and had an especially enthusiastic reception. On February 8, the choir broadcast a half hour program over WGN. It also has made numerous appearances in the Audi- torium; the most important being at the inauguration of President Kreinheder, October 26, and at chapel every Wednesday morning during Lent. The spring choir program is an interesting one. On May 24 a concert in River Forest, Illinois, was sponsored by the Lutheran Menls Clubs of Chicago. Since its appearances have been limited this year, Mr. Schweppe decided to turn to secular music. As a result he presented llThe Chimes of Normandy in the Memorial Opera House on May 28 and 29. This production climaxed choir activities for the year, which will come to a close With an appearance on Com- mencement Day. 1931 Page One Hundred Thirty-faur V4 , THE RECORD , DOUBLE MIXED QUARTETTE Quartettes Without a doubt, the Music Department in conjunction with the Field office is furnishing the bulk of Valparaiso Universityis publicity. The various choir programs tend to do that; furthermore, usually the campaign speakers are accompanied by a quartette which presents a living picture of what is being done at the school Which it represents. Early last fall a single quartette composed of Alberta Giessing, Anna Nolde, Carl Dowler and Henry Stoeppelwerth gave a formal program in Zionis Parish Hall in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This was followed by a number of concerts sponsored by the Field oHice in various cities. Appearances were made in Deca- tur, Pekin, Peoria and Chicago, Illinois, and in Mishawaka, Indiana. The most outstanding of all the smaller groups is probably the double mixed quartette, the appearances of which have been very frequent. The most important program was the iifteen minute broadcast for the Lutheran Hour over the Columbia System on January 15. On March 3 a number of voices having been added, the group broadcast a half-hour program over WLS. It f 1931 if f ' Page One Hundred leiHy-fwe THE 1112130103 DOUBLE MALE QUARTETTE also had one number on the choir program broadcast over WGN on February 8. This number had a soprano obligato which was sung by Lois Gaunt. Numer- ous other appearances were made at district meetings sponsored by the Field office, Relief Corps meetings, practically every two weeks at the Womanis Club and numerous times in chapel. Another group which has been heard a number of times is the double male quartette. Although it was organized in this semester, it has made good prog- ress in the short time. It appeared at a District meeting and in a Kiwanis Club program and a number of times in chapel. The personnel of the single mixed quartette has had several changes during the year. The first combination and its activities have been mentioned previ- ously. This group is composed of the four voices Which blend best and have a good quality. The mixed quartette is usually chosen for fleld work and for engagements that require quality above volume. It has appeared in chapel many tlmes. This concludes the three outstanding small groups in the Music Department, kV 1931 Page 0123 Hundred Thirty-six THE RECORD 7A MIXED QUARTETTE but there are also several temporary ones in the forms of duets and trios. The voice department presented a program every Tuesday night in May for Which occasions the above groups were organized. The first program was really that of the piano department on which appeared some of Mr. Greenls piano pupils and also some voice students. The second program was composed of Indian melodies; the third was made up of folkasongs of diEerent nations. The last was the most outstanding. It was the Southern songs program in which all the participants will appear in costume. From the previous statements one can readily see that the Music Department is very active. As advocated by most educators it does not only teach theory but it gives the pupils much opportunity to apply it in practice The work is absolutelyr invaluable to prospective music teachers and a source of valuable experience to those in other fields. When one stops to consider the number of hours these young people spend in preparing for such occasions, one only begins to realize what eEorts are really required. On the other hand, it is a privilege for them to be doing such work, and it is a splendid opportunity for them to serve their fellow men, and, above all, their school. 1931 VZ Page One Hundred T hirly-Jeven THE RECORD qhe University Orchestra Since the student body of Valparaiso University is small, compared to other schools; and since the Music Department has had but a short time to recover, Mr. Schweppe labored under difficulties in organizing a symphony orchestra. In spite ofuthese disadvantages he has a group of players who have made credit- able appearances. The membership of the orchestra is composed of forty-five people; :Mr. Frederick Karres serves as concert master and Martha Parker, the accompanist. The orchestraTs first appearance was at the inahguration of President Krein- heder on October 26, on Which occasion it played several selections, besides accompanying the choir while singing tTDieAllmacht . On January 13 it made a similar appearance in conjunction with the choir at thetBenefit Concert. Itkis evident thatMr. Schweppe gets much the same nuance from his orchestra as he does from his choir. The spring activities of the orchestra were threefold: First, it accompanied the choir in its production of UThe Chimes of Normandy? The orchestration is beautiful and played an important part in the opera? Secondly, on May 30 and 31, it furnished the music at the Indiana District Walther League conven- tion at LaPorte. Finally, on June 14 it will furnish the instrumental music for the Commencement program. 1931 Page 07;; Hundred Tizirly-ez'gkt 7g 1912 or of roducer of Patterson MC is an actor and Pigsf promoter Tbe Poor Nu Tbis Thing Called Lovef ' itzerf and The Bat.n .

The play, Which is a stage success, has its setting in a fashion- able apartment on Park Avenue 1n Chicag 0. The plot is centered about Old Ma'1 Minick, Who comes to visit his son and daughter-in-law, the latter of whom likes gay social life and hates to bother With old people. Naturally, her father-in-lawk presence annoys her very much and she allows him to know it. Although he spoils several parties for them, yet his son remains faithful to him. Finally, after some friction he learns that he is an old man and leaves the two even after they beg him to stay, to go to the poorhouse to his two old friends. William Gurney acted the part of the old man exceptionally well. Without a doubt it is his most outstanding characterization. John Jokubonis and John Schultz furnished comedy galore With their acting and Arlien Sinn portrayed Lula well. The parts of Mr. and Mrs. Minick were splendidly taken as well as the minor parts. The play proved to be popular With the audience. 1931 Page One Hundred Forty 7A 'Z liSun Upn tCasO Widow Cagle ..............................................................................

The setting is in the cabin of Ma Cagle back in 1917. Ma hates the government because an agent shot her husband for making and selling whiskey. Her son, Rufe, has received some education and is extremely patriotic. He enlists in the army against his motherls wishes, wins Emmy from the Sheriff and marries her, then leaves for camp. That winter Ma shelters a deserter one night and protects him from the law. In the meantime she and Emmy learn of Rufels death. The next morning Ma learns that the deserter is the son of the man who killed her husband. While attempting to take the law into her hands, she hears Rufe asking her to put away hatred. She allows the reserter to escape, thereby endangering her own freedom. The part of Ma was well interpreted by Martha Parker; it was a difficult part. The parts of Rufe and Emmy were also well acted. This is especially mentioned because all three were new upon this stage. Every part was well taken and the play was well received by the public. .llSun Up was under the direction of Miss Mary Douglas, Mr. H. D. Morrow acting as supervisory director. Leroy Shimek was stage manager, Arlien Sinn his assistant, Arthur Wolff the electrician, and Laura Saeger the business manager. 1931 Page One Hundred Farty-zme '4 THE RECORD , M : mm Earl Scharre, Beulah Word, Valada Korff, Laura Saegar, LeRoy Shimek, Irmadell Johnson, Clifford Mig- nery, Roland Kahneit.

Alpha Psi Omega During the season of 1930-31 Beta Iota Cast of Alpha Psi Qmega pre- sented three minor and three major productions. The major productions all came during the second semester and were tiMinickiy by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, Sun Up by Lulu Vollmer, and iTThe Jade God by William Edwin Barry. One-act plays were presented before the Kiwanis club, the Wom- arfs club and other civic organizations. This year the annual tour of the University Players was canceled in order that the group might compete in the Indiana Radio Drama contest. The selection presented in this contest was tiThe ValiantM by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass. It was broadcast from Station WOWO at Fort Wayne on April 16. This play won second place in district three of this contest and received considerable praise from radio listeners. During this season one hundred and sixteen dilferent students have participated in the productions of the University Players in various capacities. The debt of the organization has been materially reduced and prospects are bright for a bigger and better season next year. 1931 Q Page One llnmiwd Farty-fwa H on.

With a call for debaters, a group of sixteen responded; of this group, only one was a veteran. Several were elim- inated and others added until the final teams were chosen. The aHirmative team for menTs debating was composed of Alfons Briel, Clark Farrell, and Paul Mueller. The negative menTs team was composed of Van Hagenbaugh, Joseph Forszt and Alvin Hoffmann. The womenTs aiiirmative team was composed of Valada Korff, Elizabeth Noel, and Arlien Sinn. The womenTs negative team was composed of Vera George, Laura Saeger, and Mildred Beyerlein. The menTs team debated the question of Unemployment Insurance and Conscription of Wealth; the womenTs teams debated the question of Installment Buying and Unemployment Insurance.

This was a no-decision debate. On December 6 the menis aiiirmative team met the menis negative team of Miami University at Valparaiso on the subject of Unemployment Insurance. This debate was conducted on the Oregon plan and resulted in an audience decision favoring Valparaiso. The Northwestern Uni- versity-Valparaiso University debate on December 10 concluded the debates for pre-holiday season. This was also on the Unemployment Insurance question and on the Oregon plan, resulting in a decision for Valparaiso. After the holi- days debate activities were resumed February 20, when both menis teams jour- neyed to Manchester College to participate in a debate tournament. This tournament was sponsored by the Indiana Association of Teachers of Speech for the purpose of enabling schools of small budgets to have more debates at lower cost and there was no championship.

For the last ten years the InterFFraternity Council has successfully coped with the many problems which have come under its sphere of influence. The result has been that today the Council is considered one of the important and essential bodies of this campus. The object of this Council is to better the alumni spirit of the university and to encourage the enrollment of new students through its passive member- ships. The Council aims to create closer relationships between the groups now organized and those groups which wish to become organized. It also aims to declare moral and scholastic standards governing such organizations that desire representation in the Council. The functions of the Council consist of two dances, Inter-Fraternity basketball, baseball, and track. Smokers and stag gatherings are other events Which help to promote the bonds of good fellowship among its members. The Inter-Fraternity Council invites all outside organizations to become members of the Council if these organizations will agree to abide by the laws governing the individual organizations which at present compose the council.

The Valparaiso University chapter is one of twelve chapters of the Student District Walther League which have been organ- ized at different colleges and universities located throughout the country, and is amliated with the International organization. The Walther LeagueTs activities covered various phases: Religious, jour- nalistic, oratorical, and social. Fireside hours were held during the Winter months at Which time a suitable topic was presented and discussed. Half-hour programs preceding the Lutheran Hour were also featured by an address and appropriate muscial selections. Bible Class is held every Sunday immediately following the church service. Valpo League contributed the three members on the editorial staff of the Student Leaguer. Our winner of the local oratorical contest was also the winner at the Student Convention. Social features were numerous, including seasonal parties and regular monthly get-togethers. And last of all, Valpo sent a delegation of approximately forty members to the National Convention of the Student League held at Willmette, Illinois, seven of these were sent as delegates. OFFICERS .

The objects which this club has striven for are: To correlate the practical side of business with the theoretical side. Also to have an organization in this depart ment which would bring the members in closer contact, and to foster a more co-operative feeling. The meetings were held twice a month. The speakers who were secured were men Who were prominent and successful in their respective fields, locally and nationally. Many benefits were derived from these meetings, as it was revealed that a theoretical foundation is necessary to cope with modern business. The club is composed of juniors and seniors, and the underclassmen were invited on special occasions. It is hoped that this club will continue to succeed in the future as it has this year.
