Helen Stanton Pat EwingMiss Houston Ruth WhistonJenny .. Mary Eleanor WeisgerberCharlotte .... Jean WagnerOctavie Gary March

Dr. Lean and Prof. Craig areco'directors of the play and Marge

-- Lloyd is the technical director.

.The story is one of pathos, hum'or, whimsicality, 'and faith blendedinto one lovely creation. As HerrVon Barwig, Prof. Craig portraysa man of golden sympathies, whofaces the trials of life with a laugh;and in many cases he rises abovethem because his problem is moreserious than theirs. 1

His companions are all happygo4ucky musicians of different na'tionalities, bound together in theirgreat love and reverence for theirart. They have their moments oftriumph and despair due to the vi'

: cissitudes of their professional lives;

but they preserve that joyousnesswhich only a true artist can everknow. "7 ; ,

7 Little do they dream of the greatsorrow that is eating at the heartf their idol, Von Barwig. He is

not the sort that airs his woes, butthey all feel intuitively that be has

a secret angl they sympathize withhim. It is indeed a true comrade'ship, the like of which is rarelypresented truly on the stage.

Written by Charles Klein, "TheMusic Master" was first producedin 1904 by David Belascb. The playhas been a favorite ever since. Thefirst Herr Von Barwig was DavidWarfield and his interpretation ofthe part has lived in --the memory

--of theatre goers along with the RipVan Winkle of Joe Jefferson andthe Beau Brummel of RichardMansfield. Critics of the "NewYork Globe" wrote:

"... simple, common, humansentiment that most of us cannotand would not resist. ... makesyou believe in it undoubtedly andrespond to it unreservedly."

Kappa..Theta Gamma was found'ed in 1928 with Prof. Craig as its

first vice-preside- nt and its secondpresident. The first play to be pro'duced by this group was "The

- Fool" by Charming . Pollock andDaniel Gilchrist.

Compton Discusses

Science in Education

"The Place of Science in LiberalEducation" was discussed in a lec'ture by Arthur Compton, Fridayevening, Feb. 24. Mr. Compton,the head --of -t- he-department-of sciences at the University of Chicago,spoke upon the value of the scientific method in everyday living,and the way in which science fits

into our plan of liberal education.A general open discussion followedhis talk.

One of the principle ideas whichMr. Compton presented was thatof a required general course in'eluding all the natural sciences.This course would be a short andcompact sVidy- - of each science. Itwould give the student a liberaleducation in all types and wouldbe applicable to any future occupa'tion. It would probably be a twoyear course of six hours a week.Such a course, may be' attempted inWooster.

Exposition: Dumbarton OaksA revealing International Relations Club poll conducted in

chapel several weeks ago disclosed the fact that 48 of the studentbodypolled Jl 87 Jwould bein favor bf "

United States" participationif the Dumbarton Oaks proposals were to come up for considerationnow. More arresting than this is the fact that 44 of those polledfelt that they lacked theT necessary information on which to basa judgment. Alarmirig, too, was the revelation that 6 of the 387who answered the questionnaire did not know what Dumbarton Oakswas!

Briefly, the, idea is this. Dumbarton Oaks is a peace plan for. world organization formulated by representatives of the UnitedStates, Great Britain, China, and Russia. It is a confederation at-tempti- ng

to combine the principles of national sovereignty with those- of international cooperation. Organization is composed of a GeneralAssembly, in which all member nations are represented; a SecurityCouncil representing eleven of the member nations (United States,Great Britain, China, Russia and France with permanent seats andsix other nations to be elected yearly by the General Assembly);and an international court of justice.

Any state in the world, whether or not a member of thOrganization may bring any dispute or situation to the attention of the GeneralAssembly or of the Security Council.

- All parties, involved in any dispute or situation obligate them'selves to seek a solution by "negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbi-

tration, or judicial settlement". If these methods fail, they are thenobligated to refer the matter to the Security Council. This Councilcan recommend the use of armed force in the event that all else fails.

Innumerable important questions are left unanswered. For exam'pie, what constitutes a "peace-loving- " state? What right have thefive "big" powers to own permanent seats on the council? What,specifically, is the General Assembly able to do? " '

On Thursday, March 8, a student-conducte- d forum will takeplace in chapel. Anyone wishing to be well-prepar-

ed on thelssueathand can get invaluable help from the following articles: '

-Wi-ther-.the-Tradition?

The war, which has brought so many major changes to theWooster campus, has also ushered in a few minor ones in the dis-- .

regarding or slackening of several incidental traditions. They are notessentially important, we admit, but in' 'p't''6ckal"'&we had time to be concerned about the proper education of green"freshies", they were a few of the small parts which made the perfectwhole. Since their continued observance would not alter our patriotismor take any essential time from our war efforts, we wonder why theymust be over-ridde- n. .

To get to the rather dilatory point, or points, we speculate onwhy it is no longer considered a natural and expected bit of etiquettefor the freshmen to wait in their rows in chapel until the upper-classme- n

have gone (or should we say surged) up the aisles and out.And we can also remember the day when it was only with sometrepidation or with deliberate effrontery that a "freshie" would venture

.1 to walk across the grass on Kauke quad.

Perhaps these little customs do seem trivial in times like these,especially when the platitude that the common cause of war erases

'the dividing lines between classes applies to college classes as well,but these very trivialities, harmless enough, can help to preserve thegood old College Spirit Until it -- IS able, to revert in normal

The fracas started overarguments aroused by a speech ofLlare fioftman s on the communistmenace of the PAG Mr. Hoff'man was droning on, relatively un-heeded, when Mr. Hook woke up,it seems, long enough to registera protest, and Rankin, who musthave been aroused by the interrup-tion, accused poor Hook of beingmixed up with the communistshimself.

fered to resign, if The HonorableMr. Rankin would follow him intoretirement. But the move to cen-sur- e

was withdrawn, and peaceonce again reigns on the Potomac.All of which goes to show that youcan call a congressman a commun-ist, or punch him in the schnozzle,and it's okay with the reff. Butyou can't get away with callinghim a liar. Maybe the fellas aresensitive, huh? -

the lad. Let's admit, just forthe record, that he is perfectly witLin his rights. There is no anti-strik- e

law. The United Mine Workersare not b o u n d by a no-stri- ke

pledge. Congress hasn't passed ananti-strik- e bill, either because theyhaven't had the guts to buck labor,or because public opinion has beenopposed to such authoritarian meth-ods. In either case, it is the Amer-ican public which has made the de-

cision. So why flay labor for doingexactly what they have been al-

lowed to do? It's just like leavingthe pantry door open with thecookie jar on the shelf, telling littleRollo that you "wish" he wouldn'ttake any, and then whaling thetar out of the kid when he snafflesa few crumbs. All labor wants is asquare deal. And if public opinionwon't give it to them,, they willhave to go on striking, and picket'ing, and fighting for their rights,and I don't see where the averagevoter has much of a kick coming.

I REPORTS OH SPORTS I

By STAN MORSE

Another week has passed. Andlast Saturday the Wooster Scots'basketball team barely eked by theteam from Kent State by the scoreof 35-3- 1. It was the slowest gameever seen on the home floor, bothteams playing way below par.Neither team was able to get onthe ball, playing a ragged gameall the way.

Last week the Scots wereby Baldwin ;Wallace by twentypoints, and they played the bestgame of their season, this weekthey won a game and the game wasnot worth watching. The quintetfrom Kent was poor, and that hada lot to do with it. When a teamplays a ragged game, the oppon-ent- s

will always slip, and play thekind of game that is expected.

The Scots took the lead in thebeginning, and held it all the way,but it was by such a rare marginthatjhe issue was in doubt all theway. Therewasn't one player onthe Scot team that was outstand'ing as Ken Olson had a poornight, not being able to hit diebucket at all.

Mose's combination still seemsto be the best there is to nlav forthe college, but it still is weak.They have a lot of fight, but ev-

ery man on the team lacks con-,.- :j

ui . ti - juuuauic caciicuic. Alley wuiuup their season Saturday nightagainst Geneva, on the homefloor. This season has been oneof the poorest in a dacade for thebasketball team, but regardless ofwhat anyone says, it really wassometning to even present a teamon the floor. It took a lot of nerveand perseverance for Mose to at-

tempt to put a squad on the floorthis year, with the material at1 I t... I J J j;jiiauu, diu ne weni aneau ana aidit. Credit should be given to boththe team and Mose Hole, for theywent right ahead and showed lotsof fight in the face of defeat.

The next on the list in the lineof sports is track and baseball.

" Schedules have already been madefor both teams, and it is expectedthat practice will begin in a fewweeks, indoor if necessary,

Intramurals have started again,and it is good to see them. These arethe games that wouldn't make apenny if admission were chargedand shouldn't draw any crowds atill PArYitvlUnn sf nil 4-k.- V

"

on. - vji uiivtgaiuius - una, uicyprobably could make some dough,and they do draw crowds. Thesegames really aren't basketball, theyare games of suicide to see whocan have the most men standing atthe end. Nevertheless, in spite ofall this, the quality of basketballplayed' is remarkable. Sometimesthere is a spurt of rare form, andgood team work that is fun towatch.

The Sections that are enteringteams are, Second, Third, Fourth,Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth, eachne out to win the mythical Cham-pionshi- p.

Now the games are beingplayed ' at ten o'clock, because ofbasketbair practfceTburiris" hopedthat before top much time haspassed that they will be able to playafter supper, so there can be morepeople in attendance.

We see that again, per usual,someone had another brainstormabout changing the basketball rules.This time it is of an entirely dif'ferent character and can radicallychange the whole game.

--- .-

This proposed change is, in es-

sence, as follows. A 21 foot arcwill h incrrihprl arramrl fi Koo.

ket, and field goals from outsidethis line will count 3 points. Thosemade inside the line will countthe usual 2 points. Players havethe option of taking either longor short shots, there being noth-ing specifying either one. Play-ers who are fouled will have theoption of making free throwsfrom either the regular line, orfrom twenty feet out. The longones will count double. The freethrow line will be extended fromsix feet to 12 feet, to avoid congestion under the basket.

Several schools have playedgames this way, and as far as isknown, they were very satisfactory.it this, plan is accepted universally however, it will revolutionizebasketball. The fast break will nodoubt be dropped out, and coacheswill tend to develop long shot artists. The game will be slowed upbecause the players will be tryingfor the high pointers insteadjofworking the ball in.

If this is adopted (right now itis doubtful as to whether it will)and the fast break is dropped, thefans will be losing one of the highspots in the whole basketball game,A team; with a highly developedbreak is a combination that is awonderful thing to watch, and is apleasure for both the players andthe fans. On the other hand, therewill undoubtedly be some fancylong shot experts developed. Onthe whole until it is fully developed, the fans will be in a quandry as ' to what is going on. Itwould beJnteresting to see one ofthese games played however, andto see the fans reaction.

Turning now to the statewidebasketball standings, last .Fridaynight saw one of the biggest upsets of the season. Baldwin-Wallac- e

beat the mighty BowlingGreen Falcons 54-5- 7, in one of thebest games ever seen in the Cleve-land area. Outclassed at everyturn, - but never outfought, theYellow Jackets under CaptainDon Swegan, held .the Falcons atbay the entire game.

Big Sid Otten, six foot eleven ofmeat, was lying on his back mostof the "night, while sharp shooterWundol Gray was tied up fromthe beginning. It was the kind ofgame you read about, where theunderdog really-- c o m e s-throu-

Incidentally, Don Swegan is theonly Navy man on the team, therest of them being civilians.

' In the Ohio Cage' --standings,Akron tops the list, after BG wasdumped. As things look now, Akron will take both the Ohio CageRecord, and the Ohio ConferenceWooster is trailing way behind inboth of them, being 18 in theState, and 11 in the Conference.

Akron leads them all with animpressive record of 20 victorieswitlyl defeat, and leads the Conference with 11 victories and nodefeats.

y

On thewholethis has been afast, even season as far as basket-ball is concerned. All the schoolsthat had teams were good, or nogood, there being no two waysabout it. The good teams playedfast, clean games, which were nev-er decided until the final minute,there being numerous games wonand lost by one or two points.

After the game Saturday night,allocfitefattefttion i 1 ibeturned to spring sports, and theScots are expected to put goodteams on the field. , . . - ... ..... ... . .

In Tight GameThe Wooster Scot cagers eked

bv Kent1 State on the home floor.rm m 'A - a -

last baturday tor their third vietory of the '45 season. The homesquad was in the lead most of thetime, but the margin was neverlarge, the half'time score being 1816.

Bob Cbnrov. Scot center, whohas been one of the main cogs inthe Mose Hole machine since hecame, was high scorer, popping in18 points and caging 14 of themthe first half. Ken Olson had oneof those nights that always catchuo to a euv. in that he couldn't hitthe basket no matter how hard hetried. His shots went in, thenbounced out. rolled around, across.just as if the basket had a coveron it. rie managed to smk a couplelate in the game when they countedthe most.

Dick Riley opened the gamewith a held goal to put Kent inthe lead, and it took Wooster 3minutes to erase that, going ahead3-- 2 on a free throw by Conroyand a held goal by Hollings- -worth. This shot by Hollingsworth, where he broke loose under the bucket, was the onlybright spot of the game.

In just two minutes of the second half, field goals by: Scheifele,Conroy, and Olson gave Woosteran eight point lead. This was thelargest lead of the entire evening,With the period half gone Wooster led 3 125.

Kent State at this point begana determined bid for the game,and in five minutes had cut the leadto 32-3- 1. There was four and ahalf - minutes left to - play, - a n,dKent's offense was through for theevening. Two free throws by Hoilingsworth and a field goal by 01son finished up the scoring for thenight, . and the final score wasWooster 35-3- 1.

The Scots bombarded thebucket in usual fashion, but theirshots were way off. They took 79shots, but completed only 13. KentState took 54 tries, making onlyio. -- , -- . rz .; ,.

Thirty-thre- e fouls were calledwith 21 of the offenses on Wooster, to send Ronald and Scheifeleout of the game. Kent made 11 of23 free throws while Woostermade' 9 of 13.

The game was the slowest gameseen on the home floor in this orany other year, both teams playingragged games.-Th- e combination ofConroy, Olson, Scheifele, Hollingsworth and Ronald is still the bestthe Scots have to offer. It is weak,but they have a team spirit, therebeing no discrimination, all ofthem playing for each other.

The Scots finish their season upthis Saturday, when they entertainGeneva on the home floor. This is

the game that was postponed ear'Her in the season, being played offnow at this later date.

Wooster Tankers Wind Up Season,Dunked by Baldwin-Wallac- e 47-2-0

By Ben McDonaldIn the last meet of the season,

the Wooster duikers came out onthe short end of a 48-2- 7 score,against a strengthened Baldwin-Wallac- e

squad. With two newmen and Westi Hansen, B--W

took seven of nine first places.Bob Scott and Bill Edwards werethe only Wooster men to taketop places.

Regardless of the score, themeet was much closer than itseems. Each event was a realrace, not being decided till thefinish line.

Going into the fifth event, thescore was all tied up 16-1- 6, thenthe superior power of the B'Wsquad became evident as they slowly but surely began to roll uo alead that was unable to be over- -

taken.

Westi Hansen, the YellowJacket star, ran up two more vietones m the 60 and 100 yarddashes to go undefeated for theentire season.

The added strength in the B'Wfjlineup came from Eddie. Haltunenof the basketball squad, whodonned a swimming suit to splashtor a short place in the 200'yardbreast s stroke, and Bill Tackson.track star, who won the 440-yar- d

tree style event.

Scots Win First TwoThe Scot tankers ooened ud the

season by upsetting Bowlingureen in the hrst meet, and thenrolled over Baldwin-Wallac- e, bothtimes in the home pool. Then thetragedy that had stalked the sauadfor so long,-h-it and hit hard.-Bo-b

Wagner and Bill Long came downwith the mumps, btan Morse contracted two infected ears, and totop it off Dick Gaines came upwith the surprise appendectomy.

Hit hard in every event, never-theless the tankers went aheadand showed that they had plentyof fight and spirit, whether theywere defeated or not. In the twomeets with Oberlin, the Woostersquad was just plain outclassed,but put up a good struggle regardless. Against Bowling Green,they were without Wagner andMorse. In the final meet last Saturday, each, race was as close aspossible without the Scots takinghrst. i,

This year's squad had no outstanding swimmer, but they Werewilling to learn and had spirit anda good coach. Bob Wagner de-

veloped into one of the fastestmen on the squad. Tom Hullstarted from scratch, and turnedin some mighty fine performancesin the breast stroke events. PaulOhmura developed as fast as any-one, going out for, the distanceevents and making good.
