Richard Crooks to Give 

First Concert of Year 

In Gray Chapel Tonight 

Frederick Schauwecker to Accompany 

Noted Tenor of Metropolitan 

Opera Fame 

Richard Crooks, tenor with the Metropolitan Opera, will sing on the 

Wesleyan campus for the first time this evening at 8 p. m. in Gray 

chapel. Frederick Schauwecker will accompany Crooks on the piano. 

. This evening's program will be 

divided into four parts. The first 

group of songs are composed by 

Handel, Dr. Arne, Rosa, and Durante. 

The second group includes selections 

from "Die Schone Mullerin" by 

Schubert. In the third group w'll be 

songs by Giordano, and the last 

group will be composed of more familiar 

numbers by Warren, Mendelssohn, 

and Lehar. 

Advises Music Students 

The aspiring music student today 

self-relianc- e, needs in the opinion 

of Crooks. "Every public performer 

will have to stand on his own feet 

sooner or later in his career, and 

early practice in this art will add 

inches to one's mature stature." 

In his younger days Crooks painted 

gas tanks, loaded ice at $12.50 per 

week, worked in an insurance office 

at $80 a month, and went without 

food to hear Caruso sing. 

''Musical encouragement is one 

thing", he says, "but pampering i 

another. It is a splendid thing if you 

can win a scholarship at some conservatory 

of rank, or if friends are 

willing to smooth the way for you." 

"You may have an advantage of a 

different order the advantage of 

fightirg your own way. That is a 

wonderful thing a wonderful feeling. 

There were times in my own 

career when I looked with positive 

envy on young singers who seemed 

to have it all their own way. I had 

to struggle for everything I got. Today 

I am grateful for that very struggle. 

I have gotten something from 

it that I never should have nad simply 

from music." 

Howard Jarrett, professor of music 

at Ohio Wesleyan. speaking in chapel 

today remarked, "Crooks is the top-notc- h 

tenor today. We are very 

fortunate to get him because he has 

a full schedule, and he is such a 

highly paid singer.'' 

Smashed Transcript Window 

Affords Campus Mystery 

An unidentified vandal shattered one of the windows in the 

front of The Transcript office with a brick at about 11:30 p. m. Monday. 

Talk of the 'numbers racket" and rumors of threatened violence have 

circulated concerning the incident. 

Sid Rowland, editor of The Transcript 

who was working in the back 

office made a hurried exit through 

the back door when he heard the 

crash. He wert to the Sigma Alpha 

Epsilon house, roused the issue editor, 

Dale Walrath, and returned to 

the scene. 

Witness Describes Scene 

The occurence was witnessed by 

Mrs. Ida Johnston, 35 Spring street. 

She gave the following account of 

the incident to Patrolman Leonard 

Hoffman: 

"I was sitting in' our car in front 

of The Transcript office w'rwn a 

young man walked to the door of the 

office, took out his key ring and unlocked 

the door. He was in the darkened 

front of the ouilding a short 

time. Then he came out, ihrew a 

brick through the window, and disappeared 

back into the Transcript 

office." 

The witness said that neither 

Rowland nor Walrath was the man 

she had seen shatter the glass. 

Rowland reappeared with Walrath 

soon after Palrolmen Hoffman and 

L. S. Coover arrived after being summoned 

by a telephone call from a 

nearby cafe. 

Describes Brick Thrower 

Mrs. Johnson avered that she 

would know the miscreant if "1 

ever see him again.'' "In fact," she 

Professors Lose 

In City Elections 

Professors Deckard Ritter and 

Benjamin Spencer of the Ohio Wesleyan 

faculty were defeated in theii 

races for councilmen-at-larg- e in the 

Delaware city elections Tuesday. Dr. 

Lewis G. Vestgate, professor emeritus, 

lost to Leroy Hoffman who was 

re-elected prt-lde-nt of the council. 

All three ran on the Democratic 

ticket. They had been supported' in 

their campaigns by the editorial 

policy of The Transcript. 

There was virtually a clean sweep 

'of the city positions by the Republicans. 

Hosea Spaulding was elected 

mayor over the Democratic candidate, 

P. J. Foley, by the margin of 

only 48 votes. Republican incum- 

bents .returned to the three 

posts.

Women Debaters 

Prepare for Meet 

In order to prepare for the all 

women meet at Columbus the 12th 

and 13th of December, Wesleyan 

debates for women only are scheduled 

within the next few weeks, 

according to Professor Roy Diem, 

debate eoach. 

On Thursday, November 27, Wit-- ' 

tenberg college women will hold 

twin debates against Ohio Wesleyan 

co-e- ds on November 25th and 

December 2nd, respectively. 

Debaters Not Yet Selected 

As yet, no individuals have been 

selected for these meets, but Professor 

Diem will choose them in the 

near future. 

said, "I think I have seen him before." 

She described him as of medium 

height, wearing dark trousers, 

a light coat and hat. 

Neither police nor members of the 

Transcript staff could account for 

the fact that the thrower apparently 

had a key to the office. Rowland 

said he did not believe anyone followed 

him vhen he left the building 

According to Mrs. Johnson, the door 

to the back office was closed at the 

time of the breakage. 

Editor Makes SJuiemenl 

Rowland made the following 

statement yesterday, relative to the 

brick-throwin- g: 

"I had intended to run, in the 

Tuesday issue of tha Transcript, an 

expose implicating several people 

in the numbers racket.

to Nicholas Brown, president of the 

student body. 

lirown said he thought it was a 

good thing since students have played 

the numbers. 

Other students, while not seeing 

the editorial, knew wnat it contained; 

one of these spoke too freely, I 

know definitely. 

The editorial was not run because 

of a last minute misunderstanding

concerning the position of the Phillipines if war comes to the United 

States. Many other well-know- n alumni, including Frank Gillette and 

C. R. Jones, both of whom claim the captaincy of Wesleyan's first football 

team; James Nance, president of the Wesleyan Alumni association; 

and Judge Rosser, president of the "W clan", are expected to be

Former Editor Describes 

Visit to Soloist's Home 

By Robert Guelich 

(EDITOR'S NOTE: In handling radio publicity for the "Voice of Firestone" 

Monday night NBC program, former Transcript Editor Bob Guelich 

spent several days during September with Ric'hard Crooks at Buck 

Hill Falls. Pa; Gue'fich received his A. B. at OWU in 1938, his M.A. 

from Harvard in 1940; he recently left Firestone lo accept an appointment 

to the Office of Price Administration in Washington.) 

It was ' o'clock in the morning when I first met Richard Crooks high 

in the Pocono Mountains. Although practically numbed by the frigid and 

fresh mountain air that late summer morning, the warmth of a hand-s- i 

iake from Richard Crooks warmed me up to one of the most enjoyable 

visits yet to be recorded in my unwritten diary. 

Even a six mile ride through the 

con-vertab- mountains, with the top of le the 

down, did not freeze me 

up again. Doing far more than any 

early-mornin- host should do for an g 

guest, Crooks had braved the 

hour of dawn to welcome me, a 

stranger, and then escort me to his 

home for a cup of coffee and a hot 

breakfast. Such hospitality thoroughly 

brushed off the chill and initiated 

a visit that proved too interesting 

to keep to myself. 

The set-u- p was this: On Monday 

(when I arrived) I was to mentally 

note all picture possibilities; on 

Wednesday and Saturday it was 

my job to see that all possible picture 

ideas were converted into useable 

photos for publicity and advertising 

purposes. 

As an intruder, I had expected 

the worst; yet, even though disrupting 

his home life from that early 

morning on, I was made to feel like 

the guest of honor. 

Richard Crooks, although only 

40, remains a very young man and 

is the type that would be rushed 

by every fraternity on the campus. 

The resonance of his voice in conversation 

would carry across Selby 

Field. His hearty laugh would make 

the cross bars on the goal posts curl 

up and smile. And his mirthful 

chuckle is as contagious as curiosity. 

Crooks never ceases to surprise

Students Favor 

Proposed Change 

Of Alma Mater 

In answer to the almost annual 

question, "Should the Wesleyan Victory 

song be made the alma mater 

instead of the present one?" a poll 

was taken among the students 

vhich showed a three to one vote 

in favor of the change. 

Professor Keller finds from his 

contact with students in such organizations 

as he A Capella choir and 

the Singer's club, a definite preference 

for the "Victory Song", and 

he himself believes the change would 

be a good one. 

Alumni Favor Change 

On the basis of a few letters received 

from some of the alumni, it 

is found that they feel the alma mater 

of a college should have more 

dignity than the present one at. Wesleyan. 

They favor a change but make 

no suggestions as to what the now 

alma mater should be. 

On the average women show a 

much stronger desire than the men 

to have the "Victory Song" for the 

alma mater. Most of the upper classmen 

show no sentimentality towards 

the Alma Mater and the negative 

vote of many freshmen may be attributed 

to indecision and desire not 

to offend.

'Merchant of Yonkers 

Opens for 3 Night Run 

"The Merchant of Yonkers", at four act farce by Thornton Wilder, had 

its opening last evening at Willis high school auditorium, and will be 

presented again tomorrow and Monday nights by the Wesleyan players 

under the direction of Miss Hortense Moore. 

The idea for this play by the au 

thor of "Our Town" was based on 

a play by Johann Nestroy, "Einen 

Juf will Ei' Sich Machen," which 

was first presented in Vienna in 

1842. This play in turn was adapted 

from an English play, "A Well 

Spent Day," by John Oxenford. 

In keeping with the time of the 

play some of the actors have grown 

beards and sideburns. All the costumes 

will be appropriate for a 

play of that vintage. 

Story Concerns Widower 

The story of the play concerns 

the troubles of widower Horace 

Vandergelder, otherwise known as 

the Merchant of Yonkers, in trying 

to choose a second mate. The mer- 

chant, portrayed by Edward 

Ben-fiel- d, 

also attempts to keep his 

young niece Ermengarde, played by 

Kathryn Eagon, from marrying an 

artist. 

Throughout the play various char 

SfflQ 

and friends are expected for the 

this week-en- d, with a capacity 

Wesleyan-Ohi- o university footbail 

Centered around the game and 

associated events, the Centennial 

homecoming program will be highlighted 

' 

by a double homecoming 

dance, a play by the Wesleyan 

players, and several banquets, teas, 

and luncheons. 

Pre-gam- e festivities will consist 

of a bonfire tonight after the concert 

in Gray chapel on the Women's 

athletic field and a parade tomorrow 

beginning at 1 p. m. from the Mon-ne- tt 

campus. 

Special recognition will be given 

former Wesleyan team captains and 

Bun trophy winners during a pre-game 

program at Selby stadium 

which will begin at about 1 :45 p. m. 

Fraternities and their alumni are 

joining with the Ohio Wesleyan and 

Ohio university bands in presenting 

a march of time, telling especially 

the history of athletics at Ohio Wesleyan. 

Band to Perform 

During half-tim- e, the Ohio Wesleyan 

band will go through many 

new formations which they have not 

used in Selby stadium, and secet 

plans have been made for a novel 

method of presenting the Homecoming 

queen, Peggy Spitznaugle, 

a junior from Toledo. 

Decorations in the business section 

of town are the work of a committee 

of Delaware citizens headed 

by D. W. Gibson. Merchants are also 

co-opera- tin with decorated win- 

dows welcoming Wesleyan "grads" 

and visitors. Other members of this 

committee are Leo Wilson and Leroy 

Hoffman. 

"W" Men to Register 

"W" men are asked to register 

in Edwards Gym until 12 noon Saturday, 

and after that time in the 

"W" tent at Selby field. Other alumni 

will register at Edgar hall, as 

usual. Mrs. Bessie Beal will be in 

Edgar hall until 9 p. m. tonight 

and 6 p. m. Saturday to aid in finding 

rooms. 

Dr. Ben L. McElroy, professor 

emeritus of applied Christianity, 

will be the speaker at a required 

chapel tomorrow morning. Dr. Mc 

Elroy, who was on the faculty from 

1905-193- 0, is well-know- n by the majority 

of returning alumni. The

acters are mistaken for others and 

thereby produce many a humorous 

situation. The author makes use of 

a feature that was successful in his 

earlier production of "Our Town"; 

that of having actors offer long soliloquies 

to the audience. This is done 

four different times in the production. 

The characters in order of their 

appearance are: Horace Vandergelder, 

Edward Benfield; Ambrose

AMONG THE CAMPUS FEUDS ARE THE SIG EPS and Alpha Sigs, 

the latter of whom arc very heavy sleepers. One night, when there were 

two Alpha Sigs asleep downstairs, their next door neighbors entered and 

relieved them of some of their possessions. Guarding against a counter 

attack, the Sig Ep cups and silverware were put under lock and key. 

When Bob Layer went up to bed there was nothing under which he 

could take cover. 

THE TKEs HAVE NOT TAKEN UP RESIDENCE AT SANBORN hall; 

but they have reason to believe that a Kappa Sig was anxious to give 

them a little publicity on the dorm campuses, which seems to be something 

the TKEs can do for themselves.

where something couldn't catch on fire.

AND AFTER BARBARA WAS DISMISSED FROM THE bounds of

campus, showing him the points of interest. When she was in the 

library, she said to him, "I'm not Uking you around to all these places 

to show you anything. I want to show you off."

Letter To The Editor 

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TRANSCRIPT 

We self-complacent. have been accused of being shallow, smug, Is il 

true? If you do not think so, don't bother to read the rest of this letter. 

If you agree that the accusation is in any way just, then it is certainly 

time that we should do something about it. 

It is a sad fact that we are loo often bound up in the intricacies of 

college living (both social extra-curricula- r) and io the extent that, we 

become incapable of doing any deep, constructive thinking. By this, 

I do not mean the type of intense cramming of facls that we customarily 

indulge in before examinations, I challenge every Wesleyan student 

to think to examine his own life and beliefs, and ask himself if 

they are adequate for living in ,a chaotic world. This may be a painful 

tf.sk and I think it should be. It may result in temporary disillusionment, 

in a feeling of frustration and inadequency, but if this course 

is pursued to the end, it will bring its own rewards. This should not 

be the end of the thought process, however. We would indeed merit 

self-complace- 

the accusation of nt being if we did not extend our thinking 

to include problems greater than ourselves world wide problems. 

How can we be so indifferent io the things going on in the world about 

us today when they are so inextricably bound up with our own welfare 

and the welfare of humanity in general? 

My next challenge is to believe! No matter how confused we may 

become during the examination and revamping of our beliefs we must 

always believe whole-heartedl- y in something. Our loyalties will change, 

as the thought 'process advances, but let us never lose sight of something 

larger than ourselves in which we may believe something that 

will give us a feeling of solid ground , 

under our feet. 

It is amazing how shabby our beliefs are. I am a senior, and this is 

the first time during my college career thai I have become convinced 

enough about anything io write a letter io ihe Transcript airing my 

views. I am not alone in this neglect. There are many others who say 

hey believe in something, but never get around to doing anything 

about il. 

Last, I challenge every student to act! We are fortunate to be in a 

position where il is still possible to act in defense of our convictions 

but we certainly are selling our birthrights. We sit here complacently 

like miniature Buddhas while the rest of the world suffers and we 

call ourselves ihe "inielligensia", the educated few who are to save the 

world! Let us wipe thai complacent smile from our faces. Shall we 

"fiddle while Rome burns?" It is still not ioo late for us io adopt a 

-- ause, io justify our place in society. Are we adequate io use the cultural 

and educational heritage which is ours in helping io lift Humanity 

out of the mire? 

Think! Believel Act! These three

This Centennial celebration 

which is coming off tomorrow is 

greater than most of us realize. 

The athletic department is sponsor-i- n

down in Edwards gym.

thought 

of you no doubt 

when you 

might have heard 

Coach Gauthier over 

the rudio from 

11:15 a. m. to 

11:30 a. m. He 

was on Red Join- 

A er's program from 

Columbus. The 

program is called 

"Man on the Street." 

The topic was of course concerned 

with Wesleyan and its Centennial 

Homecoming tomorrow. Coach 

talked about the battle of the football 

team and also answered a few 

questions about his career as coach 

and player at Michigan. He told of 

ttie game when he broke the 

string of victories at the time when 

Knute 

Dame. 

Rockne was coaching Notre 

This was when Gauthier 

was coaching at Michigan back in 

1918. 

Gauthier was very interesting and 

a grand speaker over the radio; it 

would have been fine to have heard 

him in chapel. 

Old Frank Gillette, '91, is coming 

all the way from the state of Washington 

to give the invocation. Gillette 

played on Wesleyan's first 

ball team. Roily Rosser, who is 

president of the alumni "W" clan 

will act as master of ceremonies. 

' One of the main speakers of the 

evening will be Fielding Yost, whq 

coached Wesleyan's championship 

team in 1897. Ypst is the first 

coach to use the tackle back formation. 

Mr. Yost has written to 

all of the players on his 1897 team 

and has asked them to be back for 

this banquet. Fielding is now Director 

of Athletics at the University 

of Michigan. 

Another main speaker is the Hon. 

John W. Haussermann. Following 

this talk will be a comment by-Jame- 

s 

Nance, president of the 

Alumni Association, after which 

there will be a greeting by President 

Burgstahler. 

One of the features of the evening 

will be the traveling microphone 

which will pass around the audience 

to pick up comments from 

the various . 

personalities., 

.'Also 

there will be moving pictures of the '. 

outstanding games of the past years. 

That fraternity whose blankets 

were confiscated might be interested 

in the fact that there will be a 

huge bonfire tonight. The old 

chapel seats are to be burned, and 

there is to be a big rally at Edwards 

field.

Bishops Face Bobcats 

In Game Tomorrow 

Gauthiermen Prepare to Make 

New String of Victories 

Ohio University will follow its football team into Selby field en 

masse tomorrow afternoon to help celebrate the Centennial Homecoming. 

Fresh from their 26-- 0 conquest of Miami at their own homecoming 

last week, the Bobcats have 'high hopes of spoiling the Red 

and Black fastivities. 

Team Ready To Give All 

Coach Gauthier says the team is 

ready to give all it has to start 

a new victory string. They have 

been working strenuously this week 

to bounce back from last week's 

disappointing showing at Akron and 

hope to catch Coach Don Peden's 

eleven off guard. 

Peden is bringing a team that 

started slowly, but has been gaining 

momentum with each game. Defeats 

at the hands of Youngstown 

and Western 

ed by a 20-- 7 

Reserve were follow- 

victory over Western 

State Teachers. After a scoreless 

tie with the Akron Zippers, Butler 

was defeated 20-- 7 and the season's 

peak was reached in their 

four touchdown shutout of Miami. 

( 

Line Averages 185 

Veteran Clayton Scholes and Bob 

Schmihky perform capably at ends 

on a line that averages over 185 

pound. There are four experienced 

tackles' who see much action, 

but Ron Kaylor and Carl Jamison 

hold down the starting spots. 

The guard position was considered 

the weak link in the Peden defense 

at the start of the year, but Joe 

Recardi and Forrest Garey have 

come through at those important 

posts to help hold their opponents 

to 35 points in six games. 

Szalay Is Outstanding 

The outstanding star of the Bobcats' 

famed defensive, however, is 

Frankie Szalay. In spite of the fact 

that he is the lightest man in the 

starting lineup, this little center has 

all-Oh- io an inside track for 

tion at that position. 

Plenty Of Substiiutes 

men- - 

In spite of the loss of Risalletti 

and Jim Snyder from last year's formidable 

backfield, Peden has several 

men at each post who can perform 

equally well. Bob Grohmer 

has been outstanding at the blocking 

back while Jim Halderman has 

been injured. Hadierman is a 

doubtful starter and will play very 

little even if he does feel fit enough 

to call the signals on the opening 

plays. Bill Heinz, the pile driving 

fullback is the only one sure of his 

position in the starting backfield. 

The starting wing back will be 

either Gerry Ramsey or "Wild 

Bill' 'Hartman. The tailback assignment 

is a toss up betweeln Jack 

Chicatelli and Johnny Fekete. Jake 

Fe-kette's 

is a threat as a passer, while 

forte is his running ability. 

An injured knee has bothered 

Fekette this year, but he is expected 

to be in condition for plenty 

of action tomorrow.

Bishops Play On Home Field 

The Bishops have the advantage 

of playing at home again after a 

month of battling on hostile (and 

muddy) soils. The running of 

Brentlinger and MacKinnon is expected 

to be back to normal and 

Abe Leonard's passing is another 

threat that was not evident in the 

last home game. Heisler's injured 

shoulder will keep him on the sidelines 

except for punting duties. 

In this twenty-fift- h meeting of 

the two teams, the Gauthiermen 

will be after their tenth win. The 

men from Athens have won eleven 

times,, while four have been scoreless 

ties.

Wheatley Plays 

Good Football 

At End Position 

If Jack Wheatley is as hard to 

catch on a football field as he is 

for an interview, he should be men- 

tioned for All-Americ- 

an honors. 

Jack is the boy who does a fine ' 

job at end for the Battling Bishops. 

He was on the freshman first string 

during his first year, and has been 

a member of the varsity for the 

last two years. He has been hampered 

at the start of both football 

seasons by injuries or illness. During 

his sophomore year his legs 

were not in shape due to the fact 

that he worked on a Great Lakes 

freighter during the summer; and 

this year he had a touch of flu 

just as practice started. 

He comes from Ashtabula where 

he played high school football for 

three years before coming to Ohio 

Wesleyan. 

Jack has had a tough time getting 

through school; he worked for 

the highway department during the 

summer and he does N.Y.A. work 

here at school. In spite of this he 

maintains a B average and has been 

elected athletic represntative of the 

school. Coach Gauthier says that 

Jack is an outstanding player and 

one of the best boys on the squad 

because of his logical, thinking, 

hard work and loyalty to the team. 

Jack thinks that the Bearded 

Bishops will win all of their remaining 

games and says the game

Delts, Phi Gams 

To Play Off For 

Chi Phi Match 

Although the football leagues are 

over except for the playoff which 

for upperclassmen is on November 

15, there is still the matter of deciding 

who in League II shall meet 

the unbeaten Chi Phi eleven. The 

close of the schedule found the Phi 

Psis, Delts and Phi Gams in a tie 

for first place in their league. To 

determine the winner a playoff is 

being run among these teams. 

On Wednesday the Phi Psis and 

Delts met in the first playoff game. 

The Delts emerged with a victory 

of 2-- 

0 thus eliminating the Phi Psis 

from the playoffs. The two points 

were a result of a safety by Marty 

Johnson. It was a game hard for 

the Phi Psis to lose as they repulsed 

two scoring threats within their ten 

yard line. 

On the 12th the Delts and Phi 

Gams will meet to decide who will 

play the Chi Phis 

In Wednesday's volleyball games 

in League One the Chi Phis defeated 

the SAE's two games out of 

three. Alpha Sigs defeated Murphy 

Hall.

Lets Go Places 

By Florence Shultz 

After contacting the mayor of Delaware, the city solicitor, and the 

city attorney, and having Lynn Bunnell, barber in the case, gain permission 

from the Ohio - State Barber association, the Strand theater 

manager 

prize-winner 

found that it would be perfectly 

de-bearded of Ohio Wesleyan 

legal to have the bearded 

on movie-hous- the e stage. 

So, the winning beard chosen at 

the Centennial "Fuzz Frolic" will 

be "gone with the razor" a few minutes 

after 12:00 tomorrow night. 

Runners-U- p 

The bebearded hero will be accompanied 

by two runners-u- p of 

the bearded clan to help give him 

courage for the ordeal after all of 

these hill-bill- y weeks. 

The midnight show will not begin 

until after the shaving business 

is finished. 

'Honky Tonk' . . . 

"Western with Sex Appeal" is 

how "Honky Tonk," ripping story 

of a Western gold camp, has been 

popularly dubbed. 

. Local 

movie fans will have a 

chance to note the correctness of 

the description Sunday, Monday, 

and Tuesday at the Strand. 

For Adults 

"Honky Tonk" is not for kiddies, . 

but it's stocked with the stuff of 

which Hollywood believes grownups 

never get enough 

And although filmed without limitations 

as to freedom of speech, it 

fits with a nicety all of the film 

capital's concepts of what the adult 

public wants to pay to see. 

Clark Gable 

Clark Gable stars as a confidence 

man and Casanova who takes over 

a Nevada town and builds it up so 

that he can dominate its citizenry 

in a legal manner while robbing the 

population in all other ways.

'Strong Meal" 

Coming under the heading of 

"strong meat," the story is told as 

forthrightly in the bedroom as in 

the barroom, the two places where 

most of the high points are reached. 

Direction by Jack Conway extracts 

the last ounce of performance 

from a cast which gets a maximum 

of effectiveness out of a story that 

gave it plenty of scope. 

Photography Contest . . . 

Kappa Delta sorority is sponsoring 

a photography contest for members 

of the organization 

Prizes, which have not been decided 

upon as yet, will be presented 

for three different types of pictures 

a Kappa Delta scene, a portrait, 

and a campus scene. They are to 

be taken with ordinary cameras. 

Best Prints 

The best prints will be enlarged 

for display in the sorority rooms, 

arid will also be submitted to the 

group's national magazine, Angelos. 

Elizabeth Lynd and Janet Seagle 

have been named judges. The contest 

will close January 1.

proficiency. Posing good pictures 

can be difficult, but Crooks had his 

surprise for me There was no need 

to pose him for pictures; the leading 

tenor of the Metropolitan Opera 

Company was a natural. Practically 

everything he did produced a 

pix. Hunting and fishing turned out to 

be the favorite sports of Crooks, the 

fellow I had associated with quaint 

costumes and a wig. Mac, his Irish 

Setter, knew his master was a 

sportsman too, practically turning 

somersaults when he foraged 

through the brush with a gun. 

As a golfer, well, Mr. Crooks 

shoots in the 70s. Only one bunker 

really troubled him during the last 

several years. He tried to clear it 

during the winter skiing season and 

tangled up. An arm in a splint halted 

skiing on the golf course that 

winter. 

Horseback riding turned out to 

be as easy for him as driving a station 

wagon. He is real competition 

on the bowling green and plays a 

top-notc- h game of ping pong. 

Although singing has been Richard 

Crooks' life-tim- e profession (he 

did sell insurance in New York City 

to pay for his meals until he 

clicked), a day with him would lead 

you to believe that this profession 

was incidental to his enviable home 

life until you had the privilege of 

witnessing one of his practices. 

Unusually critical of his own singing, 

he sings selection after selection, 

breaks them off in the middle 

to start over again, repeats and repeats, 

sings another number, then 

repeats the former one, sings loud, 

then soft, then modulated. Time 

and time again he goes through a 

score until finally he satisfies himself 

and a common listener, such ' 

as I, marvelled at his rendition the 

first time. But, that is what makes 

him the best in Metropolitan. And 

it is what makes him 

near-perfe- ct 

in every enterprise he attempts. 

After practice hours and when 

the family has a busy evening out, 

he is quickly off to' a bridge game 

with some of his neighboring cronies. 

Unfortunately, on Saturday 

night our picture taking schedule 

broke up one of the scheduled sessions. 

The photographers and I 

should have been bounced, but 

Crooks and his very attractive and 

gracious wife persisted in tolerating 

us, flash bulbs and all. 

And that is just the type of person 

he is, one who is too busy to be 

troubled by inconveniences. He 

keeps his voice highly trained by 

persistent practice, and makes life 

enjoyable for all who associate with 

him through his deep interest in 

other people and the pasttimes they 

enjoy. 

OWU's Student 

Auditing Scheme 

Widely Adopted 

This year Wesleyan celebrates the 

100th anniversary of the founding 

of the university. One anniversary 

that has been overlooked however 

is the 19th anniversary of a Wesleyan 

originated system of auditing 

campus organizations' books. 

This system, which has now been 

adopted by virtually every college 

and university in the country, was 

founded by D J. Hornberger, who 

is now treasurer of the university 

This plan calls for all college organizations, 

which spend a stipulated 

amount of money each year, the 

amount differing on various campuses, 

to submit statements of their 

financial condition to some member 

of the faculty for auditing. 

Monthly Reports Required 

Every month each organization 

must turn in a report of its income 

and expenditures for the past period. 

In June all financial records 

must be submitted. For this work a 

slight fee is charged each group. 

According to Hornberger the purpose 

is "to keep student organizations 

in good financial condition and 

to furnish advice to officers of organizations

indicates that approximately 60 per cent of the students of Wesleyan 

are in favor of such a religious program.

Dear Students: 

to its value had various reasons 

why they thought that the meetings 

of the past week were a waste 

oi time in general. Some felt that 

the attitude of the majority was an 

indifferent one and that the speakers 

weren't stimulating them to any 

definite feelings about religion, either 

positive or negative. 

Merilyn Baker, sophomore, expresses 

her viewpoint in the following 

manner: "If only a few bene- 

' fit from it it's worth while. This 

year's program was much more 

stimulating than formerly." 

"More Action. Less Words" 

Sid Rowland, senior, says, "I 

think this sort of a procedure is a 

secondary approach to religion. I 

would like more action and fewer 

words." 

Senior Frank Thompson believes 

that, "Creative Living week is significant 

because of the connection 

the students make in classes. They 

tie up religion with the walk of life 

in which they are interested, and 

they lecrn how to work religion in- 

' 

to ordinary life." 

According to Ann Benedict, "Students 

listen to speakers and may 

agree, but they quickly forget what 

they say. At least it may start them 

thinking." 

Virginia Klein, junior, says, "This 

week is the focus point for students' 

religious feelings. It helps those 

those who are puzzled and perplexed 

in religion " 

Professors Speak 

Professor Lawrence Sears of the 

philosophy department feels, "This 

week has been beneficial because 

the students have shown definite 

interest in the program, speakers, 

etc." 

Professor T. C. Dunham, German 

instructor, says, "Basically I am 

not much in sympathy with one 

week in the year devoted to a program 

of creative living. Although 

the name has been changed from 

religious emphasis to creative living, 

it still has the same idea." 

The majority of all the students 

felt that this year's plan was superior 

to those of former years.

This is the weekend officially designated as Homecoming, 

at which time all the old and decrepit alumni 

who have mostly all graduated or quit within the last 

ten years come back and make nasty remarks1 about 

how the present student body is so much younger looking 

and kiddish acting than they were when said 

alumni were in school. Wonder what they will say 

when they see all these fuzzy faced he-me- n who have 

let their hair down and in some cases I mean "down", 

used either as a noun or adverb). I suppose I will be 

forced to listen to that old bromide again about how 

everything has changed about Delaware except Bun's 

menus. 

Hope that it does not rain Saturday, not because you 

will get wet, but so George Gauthier's stadium turf 

will not be all uprooted. Hope we beat Ohio, as moral 

victories are not so good to present a homecoming 

crowd. Hope you Freshmen have a place to sleep Saturday 

night, and that if you do have to sleep standing 

up in a corner due to the fact that your bed has three 

alumni occupying the same, that said bed is not left 

with a permanent sag as the result of said occupation. 

Yours Truly, 

BUNHIMSELF 

P. S. Alumni who want to take Butterscotch Pecan Rolls home with them 

Sunday are advised to place their order for same Saturday.
