Showing their appreciation, the audience re­ sponded with much laughter and ap­ plause. The cast was one of outstanding ability with Charles Randall as Andro­ cles, the meek but honorable little tailor, convincingly portraying the part. Eugene Marx, as Ferrovius, the Cfciisitan with a temper, was outstand­ ing in his part. Megaera, nicely done by Arlene Hagstromf was also worthy of praise". This play, we realize, follows the outline of the old story of Androcles and the Lion" which is familiar to us all and which in the past, we read, heeding the moral of "Be kind to dumb animals," which reminds us that the lion portrayed by Nate Porter was a splendid piece of work and we are certain that that animal "wasn't so dumb." Adding to the superb action were the scenery and costumes both of which made the play more colorful and picturesque. We might add that another play, "Whistling in the Dark," will be pre­ sented next Friday, Jan. 12, at 8:00 in the auditorium. The theme of this play is to be the prohibition day gang­ ster-mystery-melodrama.

But during 1917 and up to November, 1918, they sent 132 of them to the bottom, or one every 120 hours. During those last two years, however, Germany was making them lit the rate of one every 90 hours, an astonishing production schedule for such a large and intricate piece of ma­ chinery. The North Sea mine barrage, the 6,000 square mile belt of destruction between Norway and Scotland which •bottled up the German Navy, consist­ ed of 71,000 mines, every one of which had been located and destroyed 12 months after the Armistice. =3 S * Prance has suggested to the League -of Nations that it is ready to co­ operate with all other powers to aid Tinland. Comes now a report that 10,000 French and also 10,000 British soldiers would be sent to the little country who is now struggling for her .freedom. It would seem, however, that any .-attempt on the part of the Allies to .aid Finland wold meet certain opposi­ tion from the Greater (Reich. If a sufficient number of troops were de­ tached to the northern Baltic state, Finland may become more important to it, from a war standpoint, than is the Western front. * # » Mexico still hears persistent re­ ports that the German freighters in its waters are preparing for a sudden dash to their home ports in Germany.

There may be a few changes made in the schedule later but probably only a few as it was drawn up with careful considera­ tion of the people involved. This schedule is of weekend events only and does not include those af­ fairs which occur during the week or on Sunday. It is possible that the Winter Sports Picnic may be held February 18 and it is possible that the Messiah will be given either on Sunday or Monday, March 3 or 4.

Students who are interested in sculpture. 2. Students who want to be interested in sculpture. 3. Students who think they ought to be interested in sculpture. Theoretically, therefore, it interests the entire student body. This exhibit has been visited during the week by such civic organiza­ tions as th Chamber of Commerce and Friday Club, and -consist? of sculpture in many styles, ranging from faithful representation to the Egyptianized and Voodooish symbolism of modernistic streamlined sculpture. The Art Department is fortunate to have secured this exhibit—-"which is nationally famous—and has been previously shown on the West Coast only in Seattle and San Francisco. It is advisable to stress that these sculptings are not reproductions, but duplicate originals, signed personally by such oustanding American chiselers as William Zorach, Franc Epping, Alice Decker, and Warren Wheelock. Advertised some time ago in Life* "closely related" to the "thought and Magazine, this Robinson Galleries Editions Sculpture is unique in sev^ eral ways. The duplicates are each a fine original in stone, terra cotta, hard plaster, or carved mahogany, teak or walnut wood.

The young man's answer had been "The people who teach us " those things don't mean them any­ way." Miss Newitt expressed the convic­ tion that under the guise of war the very principles opposed may enter into our governments. Citing the enormous scale on which internment is taking place, the attempts to curb freedom of speech and parliamentary discussion, she welcomed the recent public protest of English peoples which has loosened stringent govern­ ment censorship. While offering no suppositions as to what the war will bring- about, Miss Newitt pointed out the pertinent fact that England and France have gone into the war under the leader­ ship of men whose diplomacy has been responsible for its inception. However, too good a case can be made of bad statesmanship, she pointed out, for statesmen in this day and age CHOR AL CLINIC TO BE HELD HERE In cooperation with the C. W. C. E. music department, the first annual choral clinic of National Region I will be held on this campus Saturday and Sunday, January 20 and 21. The 70-voice a cappella choir of the col­ lege is preparing over 100 numbers to sing before music directors of this region. The music to be used has been chosen from a list compiled by a representative national committee of music teachers, a branch of the Music Educators* National Conference.

Such pieces as the "Reclin­ ing Nude,"" however, were likely cordially endorses the value of this exhibit from the standpoint of Art Appreciation. Campus clubs may find it desirable to attend it en masse, and ^Ir. Randall and Miss Spurgeon have expressed willingness to open it espe­ cially for any of them on any avail­ able evening they desire. To some art classes these sculp­ tured figures are refreshing indeed, jaded as they are with the studio "Discobolus," the bust of "Venus," and the bas-reliefs of the studio walls charcoal ists have swooped down en­ thusiastically on the fresh and un- these. Mr. Randall—People who like to argue about sculpture, and would like to learn something of what they ai-gue about, should see this exhibit. Pauline Kreidel—I think it s per­ fect. Eda Esperson—I was surprised to see so much expressed so simply. I enjoyed it. Betty Booth—I think it's fine. Of an especial interest are the carv­ ings in wood of Arne Randal—brother of the Dept's Randall—and the paint­ ings of the Dept's Randall, Don Rep- pfito, and John Keal, which are also exhibited.

Though democracy is temporarily on the shelf, Miss Newitt expressed the belief that it will come back be­ cause it is deeply ingrained in the people. Miss Newitt began her education in England.

We would have done it too except for the fact that this issue doesn't come out until 11 days after the new year, and bv that time New Year's resolutions are broken and . * peopie are no longer in the same mood. So we'll have to look at 1940 with a little less enthusiasm and a little more realism. The first resolution to make is to keep ourselves out of war. This is like most resolu­ tions. That is, there isn't much anyone can do to keep it. We recommend-and intend to use a procedure calling for two steps if war seems to be coming after us: (1) send a letter to your congressman or to to somebody else's if you don't have one, and (2) find and provision for a long stav a cave in the Olympic Mountains just in ease the letter doesn't work. If war doesn't come and you should want a job next year, it is wise to resolve to get a high grade in practice teaching. How to do this is a deep secret. It is a good resolution to make however. We must have been sidetracked some wav because when this editorial started it was meant to be a look into what 1940 may hold for us. It's probably just as well. How­ ever we won't completely ignore our original intention. Sometime towards the middle of the year the annual throat-cutting contest will start. This is the time of year when friendships cease and every person is out to get a job if he has to take it away from his roommate. Then there will be graduation and one can look forward to that as something pleasant or something sad. We don't know what could be sad about it though unless it's the thought of wearing that cardboard hat. There's no use looking at politics in 1940 because by November everything will be so covered by mud that it will be unrecognizable. All we know about business next year is that Mr. Bab- son has said that there will be big gains in 1940. Somehow we'd feel a little more hopeful about it if he hadn't said that. .

Then, wrth a coy gesture the photographer flicks his hand up and asks the sub' ject to peer that way. While he is peering—a bit puzzled—a bit out of joint—and most uncomfortable—his picture Is snapped. He relaxes to his own rather human appearance and is met by a gasp: of horror- on the1 part of the photographer- who feels that his art will suffer if a person were re­ cognisable in one of his pictures- Three more times the discouraged vic­ tim is twisted into a disjointed grim­ ace which the photographer, with grim deli-ght, records for posterity and the Hyakem.

The chief function of the associa­ tion- is the sponsoring of the Na­ tional Intercollegiate Basketball championships, which will be played this year in Kansas City, Missouri, March 11 to 16. Nicholson and his committee from Idaho and: Washing­ ton will select a quintet of the district to enter the championships at thai time.. In. two consecutive games,, the Wild­ cats swept to easy victory over the "iakima- Junior College five,, winning, i'r the first game by a score of 44-21 and in: the second by 52-22'., The- Ellensburg quintet showed: too much power for the Indians in the first tilt and paced: by the accurate shooting, of Hank Boersma they had ,no tuouiile ihi scoring almost as they pleased:.

Here is this scrivener's selection for the athlete* of the- yrear:. It's none other than Allen (Drive-hard) Goodman,. Central's ILittre-All- America end. Yes sir,, that's right.. Williams,, that point-rating progxiosticator,, placed! the elusive: Gat end! on his second selection —the best national5 rating received! by any gridster in the North­ west..

It was his alertness which enabled the: Cats' to,- eke out a T-0 win: after a kick was blockedl. When P.. L.. C.. played here,.

Against Cheney,, the li83 pounds of football' dyniamtltev. who hails from Centralia,. was the Cats'' defensive bulwark, Goodman made the All-Conference eleven, andi he: has one: more- year of varsity competition left..

Both, games were marked by considerable fouling—73 personals being called. The Rangers—everyone expected them to be a pushover—al­ most went home with at least a half-share of the choice bacon, for Cats dumped them, 26-23, in a dull, drab encounter. Friday night ahe casaba boys thought considerable morp of keeping the twine warm than fouling. The result—a 56 to 34 win goes into the ledger for the Oats. When the smoke from the battle cleared away, we were able to draw the line on two or three heart-warming things. Sanders and Carver are most likely to be the Dunking Demons for the season- Sanders got 23 points and Carver got 19 in the twb games. Sorenson, although shy on points, was supreme under the basket. He is the best rebound retriever out there, and don't be surprised if he should develop into a high-scoring center one of these nights.. MeClary looks good under the basket, but he: lives in mortal fear that the hoop is going to go belligerent and bomb him. | North's performance, although below par, is heart warming be­ cause he'll never appear any worse than he did against the Lacey lads. Mickey Rogers received his first of college ball1,, and did! all! right by himself. Although slightly jittery, he hustles after fealli —a trick he learned while under fire for Ellensburg high. Katica and Hurney really looked good for St. Martin's..' They fire at the. hoop a lot, and it pays them dividends. Windy Reynold's, former Seattle: Prep and Seattle College center, will become eligi­ ble at the Lacey school next wek. Then watch the Rangers roll !

Sanders opened: up the game with a field goal, then promptly sunk a free throw to give Central a 3 point lead.

Miss Newitt was one of the leaders of the Northwest Institute of Interna­ tional Relations held at Reed College, Portland, Oregon, in June of 1939. She appeared as one of the principle speakers for Rabbi Langh's forums in Seattle last winter. POLITICAL CHAOS (Continued from Page 1") which recently slipped the blockade and reached a home port. sS * * Rome was recently the seat of nego­ tiations 'between Count Istvan Csaky, Hungarian foreign minister, and Ital­ ian' Foreign Minister Count Caleazzo Ciano. Hungary for some time has sought to claim back a part of Tran- slyvania, inhabited by 1,500,000 Hun­ garians. Rumania i-eceived this ter­ ritory at the conclusion of the World War* Italy will probably attempt to strengthen the Hungarian border against Russia, and a defense of Hun­ gary in case of a clash with that near­ by power. :» # « British censors have been too busy, so the United States recently saw fit tc notify John Bull that tampering and monkeying with United States mail on American or neutral ships was absolutely illegal. The London government acknowledged receiving the note and said 'an answer will be made in due course." 'England plans to keep important information from reaching Germany via the American mail: system.. * * * At the moment, Premier George Ta- tarescui of Rumania has boldly de­ clared his independence of Russia ar.d /furthermore states that any at­ tempt by. the Russian bear to menace the Rumanian territory of Bessarabia will be resisted. Finnish successes to date have evi­ dently had a pronounced: effect on, the .Balkan ( political state,, for, they re­ gard, .the Moscow government with much less respect. MO$ER TROPHY IS . GIVEN tO KERN iBentley Kern of Ellensburg was an- nofthced as the winner of the J. B. ''MEoser scholarship award for the 1939 football season. Kern was a guard on' the Central Washington eleven in the. past season. Kern had a grade point average of 3.47,."which is a B plus rating. This . was - the highest average of all the letter winners on the Wildcat football squad and Kern's name will be en­ graved on the Moser cup, which is a permanent trophy. For. the rest of the team, the scholarship s average was 2.33, a C plus rating, Coach Leo Nicholson an­ nounced Tuesday . s LINE AND BACKS SPLIT PAIR OF TILTS Led by big Ralph Grant, ace guard, the "linemen defeated a combination consisting of backfield men last Thursday night, as a prelim to the league encounter between the St. Martin's and Central quintets. The score was 11-9. Grant caged 3 ter- rificily long shots to take the scoring honors for the evening. Clashing with the linemen again Friday night, the backfield reversed • the count, winning by a score of 21- 16.. Tom Matelak got six points and pudgy Lounsberry garnered four. Al­ though Grant canned a couple of longs, he wasn't hot, consequently the forward wall was completely throt­ tled. The games caught the fancy of the huge crowd, hence they will clash again on Jan. 26, when the Cats do Ijattle with the Gonzaga varsity five. DIES TO TURN HIS EYE 0NC0LLEGES Congressman Martin Dies, the gov­ ernment's one-man crusade against all things un-American, has announced that he'll soon turn his prying eyes on U. S. college and universities—but he's going to get.a warm l'eception. Past activities of Mr. Dies1 well- publicized committee have already dis­ credited his work, the collegians main­ tain iii editorials in the college press, but they nevertheless fear that his proposed investigation will, without cause, injure the nation's institutions of higher learning and hamper the ac­ complishment of their programs and the fulfillment of their duties. The Ohio State University Lantern believes that 'whatever Mr. Dies' avowed good intentions were, he has scuttled them with his scurrilous tac­ tics. Mr. Dies smears names. He browbeats witnesses. He raids private correspondence. He does everything that is undemocratic aiid unpalatable to advocates of democracy. Not only •would Mr. Dies be wasting the public's money (in investigating colleges), he would be making himself a public nuisance and menace." The Amherst College Student at­ tacked the coming investigation with these words: 'It is one thing when the committee investigates members of the Communist party for subversive activities, and another when it turns to education, the single greatest es­ sential of democracy. Any injui*y to the freedom of education is striking at the life blood of democracy." "Each student, whatever his sympa­ thies, will be affected by any such in­ vestigation," says the University of Michigan Daily, "if not directly, then indirectly by witnessing the general suspension of his friends, or (if he be friendless) by the obfuscation and final obliteration of cultural progress here at the university." - The McPherson College Spectator brought the possible results of the in­ vestigation home to its readers in this manner: "If the committee should in­ vestigate McPherson College, judging by previous methods, they probably would find that the history classes are using subversive propaganda when they study the Russian system of com­ munism, the Italian corporate state, the German version of National Soc­ ialism, and the Japanese system of totalitarianism. And economics class­ es would be scored for discussing the possibility of a communistic economy, the abolition of the price system, the replacement of the capitalistic ideal vith some better methods. The right •f discussion and the right to freedom if speech and assembly are inherent ind must be retained in a democracy. Any attempt at denying that right is n itself an un-American activity." In an editorial letter to Mr. Dies, he University of Pittsburgh News hinted at a possible explanation of the congressman's move: "We realize that you (Mr. Dies) are. a wholly disinter­ ested researcher when you come to examine our. colleges and. universities, That of the 60 college journals we read, only one little school has com­ mended you, while about 45 college papers have denounced your actions has, of course, nothing to do with your sudden determination to expose those hotbeds of radicalism, the American Institutions of higher learning. Come on, Mr. Dies, we're waiting." And so, as we said in the beginning, Mr. Dies is due to receive a warm welcome from the nation's collegians!—Asso­ ciated Collegiate Press. MY WATTA DAY by ELINOR ROSIEVELVET Well, cherubs, school has started at last in dear old C. etc. with the usual after-vacation hang-overs and head­ aches. I don't know what caused the hang-overs, but some of the headaches may have been due, in part, to read­ ing the newspapers and trying to keep up with Adolph and that cute little mustache-—or maybe you've been fol­ lowing that other mustache (it's a lit­ tle bigger and easier to follow), Joe Stalin. Europe is certainly full of explo­ sions these days with all of the mines, bombs, political theories, and peace treaties blowing up in every corner of that disturbed continent. I'm inclined to agree with Kate Smith and say "God Bless America,*' but maybe it cught to be changed to "God Help America." I love this dear old country of ours, and the longer she stays out of the present mess abroad, the more I'll love her. Well enough of the upsets abroad. We've had plenty here at home. It's winter. Winter means snow. Snow means skiing. ISkiing' means upsets. Mow don't disagree—I ought to know. All I do is to strap those two hickory boards to my feet and point them down the hill. From then on, I just trust to luck and pray to God. Usual­ ly I amputate a few innocent little shrubs from the face of mother earth, and, now and then, I try a few of the bigger ones. The big ones are a lit­ tle harder to remove, so, for my own health, I try to confine my activities to the little ones. One of my friends the other day told me that skiing was a simple way of committing suicide. Frankly/I'd rather take my chances on skiis in America than be in Europe trying to commit national suicide. Well, enough of that for this week. I have to trot over to the CIO meeting and talk to them about the value of union suits as winter garments. Ah River (French) EJ0LIE.
