Your Opinion Counts The Memorial Union building is no longer the scene of steel beams, bricks and blueprints. It is a reality and a functioning part of the university. For the freshmen, of course, there is no adjustment to make. They have never known any other .locations for th places now assigned to the Union. It is the sophomores, juniors and seniors, th faculty and Administration who must look around and note the changes which have been made. As with any new thing, the Union cannot become an integral part of the total university in a few days. It is still a novelty, subject to lengthy discussion and criticism. Everyone is still comparing the actual building with the ideas he had and the mental picture he formed while it was still incomplete. This situation can develop into one of two things it can either result in much harmful criticism, making the adjustment period longer and more difficult, or it can bring forth good constructive suggestions for improving the planning and the use of space to solve the problems which face the people who are in charge of administering the Union. The outstanding comments from the students have been that the snack bar is too small and the first floor is too large to be used much. The Tub was often filled to overflowing, and the students thought that the new snack bar would, in view of this fact, be larger. The general sentiment is that the students do not want expansive lounges, but a place to relax for that hour between classes over a coke or coffee and a cigarette. There have already been numerous occasions when the capacity of the snack bar was inadequate to acommodate all the people who wanted to find a chair. "" This situation cannot be remedied immediately, and several suggestions have already been made about expanding the capacity. The private dining "rooms will be open all the time as soon as the elevator is installed and the dining hall on the second floor is in operation. Some think that the need for more table space exceeds the need for the bowling alleys which are to be placed adjoining the grill. " The administration has asked that everyone concerned with the use and operation of the Union he patient until the many problems have been ironed out. This does not mean to "suffer in silence," but to give serious thought to the present shortcomings. Make your opinions known to the people w ho are in a position to act on suggestions. Red Cap Welcome You who wear the little red caps are going to ; like Ohio Wesleyan . . . most everyone does. As time goes on, you are going to like it more and more; and every part of your college life will have a material and emotional significance. Life here at Wesleyan is centered around three things; scholastic endeavor, social life and co-curri-cu- activities. If you participate in all three, you will lead a more full and well rounded college life. JToo much emphasis on the scholastic leads to staleness; too much emphasis on the social detracts from and sometimes defeats the obvious reason for coming to college; too much emphasis on the co-curricu- lar may lar have somewhat the same effect. Consequently, it is necessary for you as fresh- - men, to make proper time allotments for each, remembering that too much weight on any one of these phases may lead to an unhappy life here at Wesleyan. One of the first things you will be confronted with, here at Wesleyan, is a compulsory chapel at 1 1 a. m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. At first, you will resent the fact that you have to go to chapel, especially when there are bluebooks and quizzes that afternoon. There have been movements started on campus to do away with compulsory attendance at chapel, but as Registrar Conger and others have pointed out, ths is one of the things which makes Wesleyan different from other colleges. For this is the time of the day when the school as a whole can corne together and be together as a unit. This is one of the things which attributes to the obvious fact that Wesleyan is a friendly school. With the hope in mind thai you will budget your time and take part in all phases of Wesleyan life and that you learn to appreciate some of the things which the university requires of you, the Transcript also says, "Welcome Freshmen." Students, Dogs And Professors BY LEROY HOFFMAN According to the senior bench sociologists, the constituency of Ohio, Wesleyan can be conveniently divided into three classes: students, professors and dogs. In the case of the students and professors, the origin of the species is easily traced. The students come mainly from formerly wealthy families. (That is, they were well-to-d- o until they sent their offspring here.) The professors come from the well-sprin- gs of intellectual endeavor, other colleges and universities. In this respect they are self-perpetuati- ng and constitute a vicious circle. Following this line of reasoning you arrive at that age old dilemma, "Who came first, the professor or the university?" The ancestry of the dogs is less clear, as any campus observer can testify. As to the comparative ratio of these three classes, the students seem to be declining in number due to a phenomenon known as selective service. Just how selective the service is, however, is a matter of violent controversy. Professors are increasing in direct proportion to baby carriage sales and dogs seem to be holding their own, too. Although the classes may appear to be plainly distinguishable, this is not always the case. Students can usually be identified by their white bucks and saddle shoes and professors by one of their two suits. Dogs, on the other hand, may overlap the other classifications. You have perhaps heard the following comments made about a professor: "He leads a dog's life." It is particularly difficult in the case of professor Postle to separate the man from the dog. Or maybe you remember hearing this about a student: "Isn't he a dog?" Or "You dog!" The author does not pretend to present an exhaustive picture in this brief column, but merely wishes to introduce the topic for further philosophical discussion and speculation. Anyone wishing to pursue the subject may find him in the Memorial Union most any afternoon surrounded by beautiful women. Roving Reporter BY ANK'T. SCRIPT During lhe . Jew days before classes started when the campus was filled with students catching up on the news of the summer and generally enjoying the sights without worrying about neglected studies, the main topic of conversation was the Memorial Union building. Sinoe-th- e union will play a large' part in student activity this year and in all the years to come, it seems only natural that one of the first questions asked among groups of students was, "What do you think of the Union?" The answers to this question are very interesting, not only because they express student opinion, but because they show that the students really observed, the new surroundings carefully and are very concerned over appearance and use of the Union. Bill Kuhner.The outside architecture is good, and so is the furniture, but the color schemes in some places are not attractive. The snack bar is too small to handle the crowds, but maybe it could be expanded some if they could put in some more tables. Marilyn Newman: We really need more room in the snack bar to have enough tables and chairs to accommodate the "rush hour" crowds. Jim Lipperfc There aren't enough women in here and no room to sit with them, so there's no use coming in. Hank Anderson: It looks very nice, but there's too much space upstairs and not enough downstairs. Joanne Plank: The decorations apparently have no continuity. I think the snack bar is too small. More chairs would help. Tom Seldon: The cafeteria is a little small, but the rest is spacious. It would help distribute the crowd if we could have an upstairs refreshment bar. Shirley Culp: It's the most wonderful place I ever saw. Helen Simester: The entire building seems to have been very poorly planned for effective use of the Union. Dale Renner: From my point of view as an alu:m, it's terrific. The general layout is good, and the impression is wonderful. Tom Gerslacker: I was surprised that the snack bar is so small. I think it will be inadequate for crowds. Eleanor Gammill: It couldn't be better. Dick Davenporl: I like everything but the colors of the furnishings. Voiiy Bun.U.k.: The snack bar is too small. On the basis of these first impressions of incoming and returning students, the major comment centered on the size of the snack bar. That is the place which will be used most by students and they have evidently thought about what they want. It will be interesting to see whether these will be lasting impressions. Editorial P I Kelly Danford Star In Broadway Debut Playing With Gilbert , And Sullivan Troupe Kelly Danford made his debut on Broadway this summer by playing principal roles with New York's Gilbert and Sullivan troupe, the Masque and Lyre Light Opera company. In preface to his Broadway debut, Danford put in three seasons of new England summer stock. Along with dancing and singing he swept out the chickens and cobwebs from the barns in which he performed in such productions as "The Man Who Came to Dinner," "Arsenic and Old Lace," and "The Little Foxes." As a youngster, Danford's interest in the theater was stimulated when his father took him to all the traveling shows which came to McConnelsville. After graduating from high school he studied dramatics at Wesleyan and received a master's degree. Recalling the days he performed in Gilbert and Sullivan musicals in McConnelsville district, Danford commented, "I'll never forget the night I was scalped," "We were doing the 'Mikado' and there was a part where two coolies carried me on- - the stae in a sedan chair. "They set the chair down, and when the fellow in back of rue straightened up, his hat caught the wig I was wearing and lifted it off my head. "The audience started to laugh. Then the poor guy tried to put it back on me and got it on backwards. "By this time the whole cast. y i An Iron Curtain Around Education! In the past few weeks, Ohio Wesleyan has been the subject of much criticism in letters to the Columbus Citizen written by a "Delaware Resident." These letters said that Ohio Wesleyan in general, and President Flemming in particular, made a grave mistake by allowing such speakers as Lillian Smith, Nor- man Thomas and Dr. Walter Van Kirk to appear before the students on the lecture series and . other programs during the year. Ohio Wesleyan has been criticized in the past and probably will be in the future for many things by people who do not a-gr- with the policies of the administration of this university. Some criticism can be ignored and some can be taken as "all in a day's work." But the sentiments expressed by the "Delaware Resident" cannot be passed over lightly. They touch on the funda- - ' mental principles of education and intellectual freedom. "Delaware Resident" objected' to the speakers mentioned because of their political views on the grounds that such views should not be recognized and presented to university students. Such an attitude implies thit this individual has retreated intellectually behind the barriers of righteous indignation against all whose ideas conflict with his own. This results in the narrow minded intolerance which works against the basic ideas on which the educational system in a democracy is founded. Ohio Wesleyan has always stood for freedom of thought and speech, and has tried at all times to make the students aware of various opposing views on all topics. This is especially necessary when the question involved is concerned with politics, government and philosophy. It is impossible to judge anyone's ideas fairly if all the facts are not presented and if there is no opportunity to know how and why other opinions arise. A person cannot call one philosophy ee his own until he has found out what beliefs other people have and has studied them. He must draw his conclusions on the basis of all available material, selecting the ideas which coincide with his standards of intellectual, moral and spiritual values. Ohio Wesleyan has confidence in the ability of her students to weigh all facts presented to them, to discuss and compare these facts, and to arrive at conclusions by the process of investigation and selection. We cannot deny the existence of political theories which are in conflict with those of our government. We should not, therefore, pretend that they have no place in our lives. If there are people who do not believe in cur government, but prefer another, they must have reasons. Before we can defend our own beliefs, we must know what opposition we face and what standards and values are used to formulate such opinions. Only by listening to what others have to say, regardless of their views, can we strengthen our own faith in the guiding principles of democracy and Christianity. Ohio Wesleyan has faith in these principles and in the ability of her students to use them as a basis for judging conflicting policies. Other universities have been criticised in the manner used by "Delaware Resident" and have let themselves be weakened by limiting outside speakers to people whose views cannot be criticized. This situation presents a challenge to the educational system in our democracy. was in an uproar. In order to sing I lifted up the long curls and when I did, the conductor just collapsed in chagrin over his stand." When asked which end of show business he preferred, teaching or singing, he replied, "I like to sing, but teaching's the best insurance of eating regularly!" I STRICTLY FRESH i'T'HE New York author of "How I to Commit Murder and Get Away With It" got a life sentence for his fourth felony--- a robbery. Such is the fate of modern man over-specialization. and his i Fashion headline: Elbows Tell Tales About Your Age. Sometimes they reveal your manners, too. i i The coal business has a new mechanical coal digger, but gold digging will probably still be done in the same old way. Now that the election's over, we wonder what Henry Wallace will do with the peace and abundance he was going to give the American people. Lake Superior is larger than the state of South Carolina, one newspaper notes. V'pltpr. too! Are the educators of today going to revert to intellectual isolationism by presenting only one side of questions about politics, morality, spiritual values and principles; or are they going to meet the challenge with the faith and courage necessary to listen to and present to the students the widest available variety of opinions on these controversial questions? Ohio Wesleyan has followed the latter course without fear, because she is secure in the knowledge that each time other forms of government are compared with our own, the case for democracy is strengthened. It is the mysterious and unknown which attracts people to follow blindly. People can be taken in by high sounding1 ideals and theories, but once the theory is reduced to practice, they have a chance to judge more wisely. Educational institutions have an obligation to the students of our country to provide them with a background which will enable them to make decisions on their own in later life. No one is go-.in- g to shelter them when they leave college. No one will say "You must not listen to that man his ideas are not good." There is no screening of speakers for mature adults in a democracy. Why, then, during the time when students are forming 4heir ideas about the fundamental problems in the world today, should their sources of information and education be limited by narrow-minde- d persons who are afraid to examine the other side of a question? Ohio Wesleyan has always upheld the principles of academic freedom, and we hope that in the future she will never forsake the ideals of education, democracy and Christianity which guarantee the rights of free speech and intellectual freedom. 1 jaywalkers?

HARDWARE ' Norma Allison That Old September Spirit Well, we're back. Classes have started, some people are studying, chairmen are calling committee meetings, and the Tub crew has shifted headquarters to the snack bar in the Union with no apparent decrease in numbers. The freshmen are oriented, transfers are still explaining why they left other schools and the traditional chapels are in full swing as of today. Class cutting will probably start soon, followed by quizzes and bluebooks. It doesn't take long to fall back in the old routine. With the usual September enthusiasm, everyone is saying, "This is going to be a great year." Filled with visions of 4 averages and big projects lor every organization on campus, the student body sounds as if it's ready to tackle anything. Obviously, we aren't all Phi Beta Kappas and the year isn't long enough to take in all the ideas that have come from a summer away from campus, but that's no reason to let the spirit slide, as it usually does after a few weeks. Last Friday night a group of men representing several fraternities got together and serenaded Austin Hall women. It was a nice gesture on their parts, since the upperclass women usually suffer Dave Howard Right vs. Fright from neglect during the first couple of weeks while the men congregate at Stuy. The most outstanding feature of the incident, however, was the spirit displayed by the men arching in to the tune of a Wesleyan song. They really impressed the listeners. In fact they radiated so much pep and energy that one corridor had to be quieted by the dorm president when it took up the singing with more quantity than quality. That kind of enthusiasm has a definite place in campus life. There will be pep rallies, football, basketball and baseball games, and countless drives and projects throughout the year which will need student support. It is these all-campus affairs which stand or fall according to the response of each and every one of us. This really can be a great year for us as individuals and as a group if we retain the September spirit and carry it right on through until next June. It must have been distressing to many here when a "Delaware resident" who prefers to remain anonymous wrote two letters recently to the Columbus Citizen verbally chastising President Flemming for allowing such individuals as Norman Thomas, Walter Reuther and Lillian Smith to peak in Gray chapel. The anonymous writer accused these people of being subversive and intimated in the fashion of McCarthyism that Wesleyan might have some red elements. Dr. Flemming immediately replied that this writer was -- confused in his thinking. He also said that whenever he had a highly controversal speaker here, he would always have someone with an opposite position speak, thus assuring a rebuttal. Now since its founding 109 years ago, Ohio Wesleyan University has stood for what is popularly known as academic freedom. Although in the past college officials have not always held this .objective .as high as they might have, they have repeatedly permitted controversial individuals on campus men like Norman Thomas and long ago Eugene V. Debs. This policy has been especially evident since the arrival of Arthur S. Flemming, as president. Unlike officials from many small privately endowed colleges who are governed by stolid Boards of Trustees and who shake timidly at the word controversy, the ad- - Ted Trost ministration here has brought a variety of ideas before the student body by having a variety of speakers. This has included ultra conservatives and ultra liberals; and because of this many students have left this university more enlightened and certainly much more capable of analyzing the world for themselves 6ince they were acquainted with so many from opposite camps. It is through' such shoddy thinking as this Delaware resi dent proved himself capable that academic freedom in its fullest sense could come to an end at Wesleyan. This is possible through the auspices of pressure groups whose influence has already been felt at State where academic freedom is now limited with a regulation which provides screening of all campus speakers. ' At least, let us hope that the fear which often accompanies 6uch frenzied accusations does not motivate our own administration into limiting the speakers with liberal ideas. If this should ever happen, then the words on the cornerstone of Slocum library will have become a mockery to the college. Specialization In Education! This week Ohio Wesleyan officially begins its 109th school year. Like every American university, Ohio Wesleyan faces the gigantic task of educating young men and young women in a critical period of world history. In this present century the educational emphasis is placed on the need for specialization. So- - ciety seems to look for specialists", in the hope that a concentrated effort in one particular field will produce greater results in bettering the world in which we live. Consequently, the student is faced with the problem of choosing a "major" and then subordinating all other interests to his chief objective. Even in sports, particularly football, coaches look for outstanding individual skills in each boy, believing that one player may be of more value to the team if he becomes exclusively proficient at extra point kicking or defensive play, for example. It is not my purpose to discuss the pros and cons of specialization. Neither am I advocating that everyone should become a "jack of all trades and master of none." It is sufficient to say that specialization seems to be necessary in order to meet the challenge of the times. But I do think we all should be aware of the dangers that concentrated specialization can produce. For example, a humanist, who advocates a complete intellectual approach to man's problems seem ingly becomes arrogant presumptuous and ' somewhat egotistical, when he claims that all the answers to our problems are seeded in the intellectual advancement of society. Likewise, the individual who specializes in physical skills believing that "to be in shape" at all times and that to "enjoy life always," is the only way to find happiness, is in danger of becoming sensual and even materialistic in his philosophy of life. And what about the person who claims that every answer to man's "quandry" can be found in the "things of the spirit" offered by religion? Is it not true that complete adherence to religion as the "saving power" can produce nothing but fanaticism and bigotry? Here at Ohio Wesleyan, each student has the opportunity t secure a "well rounded" education. During our academic years, each student will be aided in his quest to develop a sound philosophy of life. But let us not become swayed to the erroneous belief that by concentrated specialization in one phase of living, we can find an absolute formula for building that "better world." Neither should we become convinced that the problem solutions lay entirely in one particular academic subject or department. When any university department claims to have the absolute solutions for the betterment of mankind, then we run into a situation which might well be called "departmental imperialism". Speaking positively, let us all look for an integration of ideas in our academic experience. Let us gain knowledge from every aspect of human endeavor, for af-tera- ll, is this not the paramount objective of a university? Flowers by Gibson j

Delaware was founded in the early part of tb nineteenth century by Moses Byxbe. Moses was on his way to found Columbus, but his ox cart blew a spoke, and hearing that someone had already founded Columbus, he stayed here on the banks of Dishwater Run. Moses is chiefly remembered for being the father of the Delaware Grape. This w not to be confused with the Delaware Gripe, the latter bifig a term which students have given the weather here, particularly when it rains, most students having come hew frofti places, where it never rains. Delaware was noted as a watering place in its early days. Elliott Hall was then known as the Mansion House and genteel people came here from miles around to imbibe the curative sulphur water. Later the freshmen were immersed bodtiy in the Sulphur Spring, the sophomores reasoning that anything tasting that bad should be used externally only. This custom has died out in recent years and watering. place have given away to the jug habit. One of the oldest businesses in Delaware is Bun's restaurant. It was founded on the basis that students cannot live on Blue Books alone, so along came Bun with the Bun Book which enabled the students to survive the onslaughts of the effect of higher culture. Later, when Ohio Wesleyan co-educational, became it became quite a lark to take your best girl to Bun's for a sundae, even though the rules pre-hibit- ed such outrageous conduct. Coeds never appeared on the streets unchaperoned in those days. Now the chaperons have been replaced by the Delaware Police Department, which explains why the coeds have so much more fun than they used to. Delaware is full of historic spots which has made it a dry cleaning bonanza. One of these historic spotg is our walls. At first glance they look like a rogue's gallery, but closer observation tells the tale of past Ohio Wesleyan athletic greatness. Each year the likenesses of four additional outstanding athletes are added to our Hall of Fame. So while you munch a sandwich or quaff a soup, you are being looked down at by Joe Doakes, who ran one hundred yard againft Wittenberg in 1916. ' Social life at Ohio Wesleyan is varied. Signv Chi, of which we are a member, i the oldest and best fraternity of the campus (the only exceptions we make to thii for business reasons are: Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Sigma Tau, Beta Theta Pi, Chi Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Kaf pa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tan Kappa Epsilon). Many of these fraternities are some of best customers and are very fond of serving our baked goods, as it makes their tables look better. Also some have banquets here in our banquet rooms, a very commendable praet-ic- e and one which we encourage greatly. Sororities are important here too, being composed chiefly of members of the opposite se from the fraternities. When the members of the sororities get together with the members of the fraternities things sort of pep up and there is more social life. I will not endeavor to pick the best sorority as I have never belonged to one and it is all hearsay as far as I am concerned. Besides, they are all building new houses so fast that I haven't had time to go up to the Court House and see which one has the biggest mortgage. The sororities are very good customers of ours too, and it is nothing to see eighty girls seated around the floor all eating spaghetti Middle East style out of a caserok furnished by or catering department. During the year many students have birthdays. This is usually a time of celebration and girls especially like to buy their roommates birthday cakes at Bun's bakery so that they can point out how old they are, the girls, that is, not the cake. As you know, to a woman, another woman's age k a source of grim satisfaction. Your grandfather ate here. Your father ate here and you'll eat here. Very pleasant monotony and a old 0vi Wesleyan custom. i'our for good eating at Bws Royhimself o-- r
