In the business of the meeting it was decided that the duties of the dormitory president be split in two, and that the office of secretary of the executive board be created. Ann Satterthwaite, '43, was elected to this position.WAA Council Altered A motion was also passed which decreases the number of members on the WAA Council from 16 to seven. It was decided that nominations to the council will in the future be made from the students who have shown their interest by working on the various subcommittees.Miss Vogt succeeds Henrietta Kirn, '4l, as president of the WSGA. A chemistry major in course, she is secretary-treasurer of Gwimp, and has ' served on both Conduct and Personnel Committees- Miss Zimmerman is an | English major in course and is president of Gwimp.

Other officers elected were Peter Kuh, '43, executive secretary; Pe- I ter Elias, '44, membership secretary and treasurer; and Elizabeth Ringo, '43, recording secretary. It was announced at the meeting that Joseph P. Lash, national secretary of the International Student Service, will speak in Bond Thursday night at 8:15 under the auspices of the Swarthmore Student Union, in a lecture open to all students. Mr. Lash will discuss youth movements of today, with particular emphasis upon the ISS and the SLPA.

According to Chapman it will be distributed this week. Dewald Will Lead Non-Fraternity Men Non-fraternity men elected Paul Dewald, Henry Leader, and Warren Van Name, all '42, to their executive committee for the year 1941-42 Thursday.

Parrish Menagerie Abounds With Bears, Giraftes, Pandas By Peggy Bebie There is a sage Biblical saying to the effect that "by the company they keep, ye shall know them," which throws an amazing light on the character of the Parrish inmates when considered with reference to the animals, dead, living, or indifferent, which they fondly keep in their rooms. A tour of inspection revealed that although bears were the most popular pets, they were by no means the only classification, and even among the bears, as thejr owners defiantly pointed out, there quite a difference in personalities. "Owen" of fourth east, holds such a coveted place in the hall's affections that one jealous girl found herself obliged to start an AOL, Anti-Owen-League foi: extermination of glorified dustmops. Kidnapping followed, but fourth east's police force and humane society interfered and saved Owen. Pandemonium Becomes Heilman Pandas seem to. be a favorite type of bear; we can mention two} "Pandawaist," and -one "Pandemonium" whose name has recently been changed to Grant Heilman for reasons unknown, except perhaps. for a fetching likeness in- the wistful wide-eyed-and-eared expression. All of which might go to show that there is only a fine line separating the truly amazing from the fictitious, and which also might bring up the point that besides the varied menagerie of A. A. Milne characters and zoo oddities, there is to be found in each room a menagerie of another category, namely that of the male photographs. But we end on tnis line of thought before getting personal. No Live Pets The Parrish animals exist in varying degrees of aliveness. Squirrels climb in the windows in the morning, but aside from these and numerous beasts on thousand legs and wings, there are no live pets in Parrish. One girl has the next best thing, however, a pickled Rhinoplagusia Japonica (tongu flatfish to the layman) which seems to preserve none of the attributes of the living, outside of a faintly Friday-eveningMn-the-diningroom smell. "Jehudi," the skull of what was a fox, is perched in another room. Immeasurable care and fondness, have gone into the naming of the animals, it wotrfd appear. Many names are rather prosaic-sounding, but ar6 deeply, significant, arid refet* to flafmeS present and Valferitihe's vpast. 'College officials take their toll with several giraffes and gorillas as their namesakes and a cat affectionately dubbed "Everett." Trautman Elected Interfraternity Head Dean -Trautman, '42, of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity was elected to succeed Frederick Donnelly, '4l, of Kappa Sigma as president of the Interfraternity Council. For the office of vice-president Walter Skallerup, '42, of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity replaces Harold Ramsey, '4l, of Phi Kappa Psi, while Richard Carr, '42, of Kappa Sigma, takes over the office of secretary-treasurer which was 'held during the past year by Frank Appleton, '4l, of Delta Upsilon. All of the fraternities with the exception of Kappa Sigma have elected new sophomore members to the Council. They are as follows: Edward Atkinson, of Phi Delta Theta, Robert Dunn,-of Phi Kappa Psi, Philip Rowe, of Delta Upsilon, and William Erdman of Phi Sigma Kappa. Trautman, a chemistry major in honors and a member of the football squad, who was president of the junior class during the past semester, is a varsity lacrosse player and a holder of an alumni scholarship.Creighton Lacy to Speak In Collection Tomorrow On Present Chinese Chaos Creighton Lacy, '4l, will speak in Collection tomorrow. His subject will be "China in Chaos." Lacy is a political science major in honors. With the exception of his years at College, he has lived in China all of his life, and spent last summer there. Rabbi Brickner of Cleveland gave the Collection address Wednesday, speaking on the "Preservation of Democracy." Paradox in Nationalism In his talk, in which he stressed the importance of democracy as the way of life for the peoples of the world, he said, "I believe that democracy rather than any and all forms of totalitarianism represents the 'wave of the future.' Totalitarianism is the backwash of civilization."He pointed out the paradox which he saw in nationalism and isolationism and the theories of democracy. "If democracy is going to be preserved, it will be preserved not on the basis of nations locking themselves behind stone walls," he said. Bennett, Griffin Become Social Committee Heads; 'Jam Session' Is Planned Isabel Bennett and John Griffin, both '42, will replace Ruth Wilbur and Grant Heilman, both '4l, as co-chairmen of the Social Committee. Miss Bennett was elected by the women of the College at the Wednesday meeting of the WSGA; Griffin was appointed by the existing committee. Miss Bennett, a history major in honors, was class secretary in her sophomore year and has served on the Social Committee since her freshman year. Griffin is an economics major in honors, A member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, he is on the football and basketball teams. Although the new co-chairmen have not yet appointed their committee members, the social program has a "jam session" planned for Saturday night. A Negro band will furnish the music for this informal session, which will be held in the men's gym from 9 to 12 p. m.

Lebensraum We have nothing against Mr. Shirer, Mr. Michael, or the Media Drug Company, but it seems to us that Swarthmore students spend entirely too much time and money in the three village drug stores. And that the reason they do so is not because they are dying for a coke or for an hour of sitting on the hard drug store benches, but because they have nowhere else to go. After Saturday night,movies, after a dance, after a lecture or a concert, Magill is as black with students as though all of Swarthmore were setting out on a crusade to save Mr. Michael from bankruptcy. It is not only a matter of habit or follow the leader. Behind the pilgrimage lies the realization for all of us that the alternatives to the druggie-trek are extremely few. On weekend nights, couples may go to Lodges 5 or 6 or J section parlor, or, if they are lucky and feel like sedate conversation, may snag one of jhe sofas in the Managers' Parlors. It is quite evident, however, that the whole College cannot be crammed into these few rooms (although there are times when it seems as if the experiment were being tried), and so most people trudge off to the druggie, where they order a small coke and sit for two hours uncomfortably obstructing drug store traffic. We should like to suggest that, instead of the present arrangement, Lodges 5 and 6 be kept open until 12:30 both Friday and Saturday nights (they now close at 11 on Fridays); that, since the smoking room in Parrish decreases their use considerably, two more of the women's lodges be opened to men until 12:30 on these nights; and that, without the necessity for chaperons, the living room of first prep and, if the fraternities agree, all fraternity houses also be open to couples until 12:30 on weekend evenings. Most of the disturbance about the College social system has been preoccupied with those for whom the fact of coeducation extends very little into social spheres. It is apparent that even for those who do go out, College arrangements are not at all ideal. The true realization for the idea of a student commons, like that of a new women's dormitory, lies somewhere deep in the future, and none of the makeshift suggestions which we have heard sound as if they would work in more than theory. In the meantime, the problem of those whose social life at College is limited might more nearly approach solution if there were more places where a boy might take a girl to play bridge, to talk, or to dance, without spending money and without having to draw lots for breathing space. There are plenty of places like this on the campus, but unfortunately so far as couples are concerned, most of them are forbidden territory for all but a few hours during the week. The Plaque Tradition The annual senior debate has again begun, and people are lining up on both sides for battle on the question of whether the senior class is to present the College with a plaque in its memory, to be put along side of those already up on the walls of the dining room. As far as we can see, the only argument in favor of the idea of a plaque is the sentimental value involved in the handing down of a tradition from one class to the next. Aside from this the plaque seems to have little value. Few indeed are the numbers of students and alumni who feel a surge of pride run through them on beholding the array of tablets and saying, "The whole College family is here." The new alumni catalogue will serve the same purpose and its lists are alphabetical. Those who oppose the idea feel that $l6O is entirely too much money to pay for something with so little utility or purpose, particularly when the money could be so much better spent in a variety of other ways. This year the concrete proposal in the form of a petition now being circulated is that the money be used instead to start a new infirmary fund, an idea to which we heartily subscribe. Not only is such a proposal more to the long-range good of the College, but it is a demonstration that even students in an ivory tower set-up such as this can maintain a perspective that is in keeping with conditions in the world today. Lower Case At the Town Meeting Sunday night, of the four student speakers discussing an ideal peace for the future, one believed that international destiny should lie in a world union, one thought we should go back to the 1939 status quo, one suggested a return to religion as a way out, and the fourth had a rigidly pacifistic answer. In this sentence, perhaps, liea the full justification for criticism of those groups which are now using the word "youth" as a slogan and exclusive designation rather than as an incidental factor. Ten days ago, the editor of the Yale University daily declared before the Senate Committee that Youth was against the Lend-Lease bill. Aside from the truth or untruth of his statement there is no more reason why one person or one group should speak for those Americans who are 18 to 25 years old than that a single representative should express the viewpoint of all men and women between the ages of 43 and 50. In the conception of the young people of the country as a group with separate and distinctive motivations rests the chief misapprehension of the youth movements of the past decade. They have forgotten that those who are under 25 are no less conditioned by their background and environment than other groups, and are not less likely to be conservative, reactionary, radical and indifferent in the same ratio. The sooner we who are young stop exerting our energies in spelling youth with a capital Y, the more time we shall have for being of actual use in helping solve the problems which so disturb the world today. TIME... For Comedy By Dav* Cowden Swarthmore is a good college it has one besetting sin—intellectualism. Too many of us (excluding the faculty, with some important exceptions) take ourselves too seriously. Intellectualism is, of course, a good thing in small doses. But here we take, or are forced to take, toe much. "The most indiscriminate dispensaries of this dang e r o ut s medicine are the Phoenix office, the Friends Libe, and perhaps meetings of the SSU, although we have never attended any. Even if we avoid these places, we cannot escape it: political discussions follow and engulf us at lunch; Important Things are hashed over on the dance floor; philosophies are discussed in the druggies. It is difficult to make, almost impossible to find time for comedy on this campus. Intellectual activity is so ingrained at Swarthmore that to escape it we must quit the borough and seek amusement farther afield. In this column we shall remind you of old and point out new sources of strictly non-intellectual delight. Our definition of non-intellectual is surprisingly elastic and will be furnished to anyone sending us an unaddressed stamped envelope. Refined Atmosphere Chez Vous, in spite of its name, is an indoor roller skating rink and a very goCxl one. It is just around the corner from the 69th Street Terminal. For 50 cents apiece you can skate to and with your heart's delight in a refined atmosphere. The first time we wenfc we wore old clothes and no coat, hoping for the worst. But we were barred from the floor until we had donned a white poat belonging to one of the attendants. As a result, our skating was considerably interrupted by requests to tighten skates, but if you wear your own coat in the first place, you will be relatively free from any such annoyances. The floor is a good one and music is supplied by an amplifying system. The inevitable "Skater's Waltz" naturally was most prominent among the pieces played, but as the BMlnnoculation does not hold' here, there are many other waltzes of more recent vintage. There may be foxtrots, too, but we can never tell the difference. An unfortunately non-alcoholic bar is located at one side of the rink where soft drinks and ice cream are sold. A master of ceremonies of sorts is in constant attendance, as well as muscle men ( who keep the skaters going in the same general direction, which seems to be es- ' sential. Bluffing Through Waltz About every half hour the floor is :leared and only special types of skating, such as dancing, are allowed for five minutes. If you don't know how to iance on skates, which we didn't, it isn't very difficult to bluff your way through a slow waltz (fox-trot?) especially if you lave a partner. When we were there, they played a ;ame which consisted of matching up numbers. You are given five mixed numbers and the object is to trade with other* skaters until you have five consecutive, numbers. If you get a complete set before anyone else, you are awarded a prize. We didn't, and don't know what the prize was, but made friends with several apparently unattached female numbers, rhere are usually some top-notch skaters wheeling around (they can be spotted by their special shoe-skates), but there ire not enough of them to make the norice feel ill at ease. Worth the Price After skating, if you are hungry (and you will lDe), go to the Hot Shoppe, located just beyond the Terminal on Market Street. If you have a car you can use theic, curb service, but if you don't you will get along better if you go in and sit at the counter or in a booth. Their hot chocolate ("all milk") is excellent and so are their hamburgers. If you are feeling opulent, get a sizzling hamburger with Bermuda onions or a pecan waffle "from the Chef." They are well worth the price. Their pastries and oysters are on the whole very good. Beer is served but no other alcoholic drinks. An evening spent following the above routine will dispel any incipient germs of intellectualism for at least a week. World Peace Discussed In Town Meeting Sunday The achievement of world peace was the subject discussed at the Town Meeting Sunday. Peter Karlow, '4l, Richard Carr and John Leich, both '42, and Theodore Goodman, '43, were the Garr advocated a militant world union based upon a world police force. Ultimate natural reconstruction through regional economic spheres was Karlow*s proposal. Re-emphasis upon rdigjon as the basis of society was urged byLeicft, while Goodman declared pacifism positively expressed in such ways as the arbitration of problems is essential to peac4 - under any system. The fraternity situation on the campus will be discussed at the Town Meeting to be held February 27: • 4 campus comment the ex-exec of wsga was distusslhg the Questionnaires being sent to female£ of the cq|l«ge jo clarke, '4* l was saying to/ cover incidentals, of cpqfse."

Varsity Swimmers Defeat Dickinson, Upset by Hopkins Garnet Tops Red Devils lii All But 440 Event; Jays Win Crucial Relay •t i.",; ■ . •.. :sTbe Swarthmore varsity swimmers spljtvthis. week's encounters with a 53-21 victory over Dickinson Wednesday, and a 33-59 loss to Johns Hopkins Saturday, tx)th meets being held in the home pool. The Dickinson meet proved somewhat of a walk-away with the local swimmers first in all but the 440 yard freestyle event, won by Wolf of Dickinson. Garnet times on the opening medley-relay and on the concluding freestyle relay were slow, but sufficient for first places. Clean sweeps of both first and second places were netted by the Little Quakers in both the 100-yard freestyle and in the 200-yard breaststroke. Five Swarthmore Firsts Swarthmore had counted on a victory over Johns Hopkins, and the narrow defeat at the hands of the visiting Jays was somewhat of a jolt. In fact, the meet was full of surprises. In the first place, the Garnet lost the opening medley-relay by an unexpected margin. And in spite of the final scores, Swarthmore amassed five first places, Darlington in the 220, Rog Frost in the 50-yard sprint and the 100-yard freestyle, Fred Reed in the dive, and Walt Skallerup in the back stroke. Another severe jolt was in the unexpected time of the Hopkins backstroker Wolfe, who went a full eight seconds below his customary time to win over Bud Baldwin. With Swarthmore three points ahead before the concluding freestyle relay, the results of the meet were left up to that event. And Hopkins took the event—and the meet—39-35. The freshman meet with Westtown preceded the varsity meet Saturday afternoon, and the yearlings came out ahead, 41-24. With firsts in all but the medley relay, the breaststroke, and backstroke, the Garnet squad amassed a creditable set of times. Brud Donnelly came off with a first in the 200-yard freestyle, Harvey Kempton in the 50- y%r.d freestyle, Bud Love took first in the diving, and Jack Pixton won the 100-yard freestyle. A victory in the 200-yard relay clinched the victory for the ..Swarthmore freshmen. The frosh swimmers won over Germantown Academy yesterday afternoon, 30-27, the free-style relay deciding the meet in favor of the Little Qqa^ers. Women's Sports Schedule Features Three Events; Courtwomen Play Home This week finds the Quakerettes up against opposition on three fronts: badminton, basketball and swimming. Thursday the Garnet racqueteers will test their strength against the Bryn Mawr team. Swarthmore was triumphant last year by a score of 3-2. The match is scheduled for 3 p. m. in the men's gym. Friday will be an important day for both the swimming and basketball varsities. At 4 o'clock the Garnet mermaids meet the Penn team at Philadelphia for the opening contest of Penn's season. The spirit of competition ought to run high on the Garnet side in their effort to reverse the outcome of last year's meet which the Red and Blue took by the narrow margin of 44)4-3814. The same day at 3:30 the Quakerette courtwomen play their second home game of the season. Friday will see the re-opening of the competition between Drexel and Swarthmofe which was interrupted last season. Two years ago the Quakerettes trounced the Drexel sextette, 44-15. PHOENIX SPORTS f*age Three February 18, 1941 Quakerettes Tie Bryn Mawr Six Tomlinson High Scorer As Garnet Team Clicks In Last-Minute Finish The women's basketball team battied to a 24-24 tie with Bryn Mawr Saturday on the Bryn Mawr court. In the first quarter, the opponents scored several long shots anpl left the Garnet with only two field goals to their five. Before the end of the half, the Quakerettes managed to bring their count up but the period ended 11-15, with Bryn Mawr on top. The opponent's passes became inaccurate during the beginning of the second half and the Garnet guards intercepted many of them- The visitors tightened up their defensive and held their opponents to a scoreless quarter, while the Garnet forwards mounted their score to a 16-16 tie. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Quakerettes dropped two in the hoop, to put them on top for the first time. However, Bryn Mawr went on a scoring spree and added eight points to their credit. The Garnet attempted many shots but luck was against them, until the last minute and a half when Molly Boileau scored a long shot and Hennie Tomlinson, Garnet high-scorer, put in another long one to end the game with a tie score. The second team topped the Bryn Mawr seconds, 18-10. The Lineup Swarthmore (24) Bryn Mawr (24) G. T. P. O. F. P.

The visitors dominated the game from the beginning, leading 7-2 at the end of the first quarter. An entirely new Garnet quintet in the second quarter scored six points against the opponents' three, but still trailed 10-8 at naif-time. The third period, however, was all West Nottingham, as the victors continually ran past, through and around the home guards scoring twelve points to the yearlings' three. The last quarter saw the Little Quakers perk up a little but fall short of catching the victors, who led 24-16 at the gun. Stars Against Bryn Mawr Photo from 19\1 Halcyon Hennie Tomlinson . . . Swarthmore high scorer Garnet Badminton Team Victorious Over Drexel The Swarthmore women's badminton squad trounced Drexel with a 5-0 win on the home courts Thursday afternoon. Libby Ramsey, playing first singles, walked easily through the opening match, capturing a 11-2, 11-5 victory over Lois Meadowcroft of Drexel. Barbara Bowman, newly elected varsity captain, stacked up another easy win for the Garnet, taking over the second singles 11-2C 11-1. The Keeler-Blankenhorn combination clicked effectively in the first doubles match when the visitors went to pieces under a steady fire and dropped their two games 15-6, 15-11. The second doubles team, Johnson and Bartleson, got off to a. bad start and dropped their first game winning the match after a nip and tuck third set game with a store of 15-11. The freshman element, supplied by Rene Kuhn and Mibs Vibbert playing third doubles combined vigorously: to, carry the final set for the Garnet. Junior Officers President Walter Skallerup Vice-president.. .Cynthia Swartley Secretary Elizabeth Peirce Treasurer Virgil Loeb Varsity Quintet Twice Defeated Garnet Lpses to Lehigh,, Dickinson Cage Teams By 49-36, 38-24 Scores i ~i "■ '■ i i i ■ *- *' , The Swarthmore cagers lost two away games this week, .bewing to Dickinson Wednesday, night, 38-24, and to Lehigh last night, 49-36. In the Dickinson game the Garnet visitors remained close on the hdels of their hosts until the last quarter of the game, the third period count being 23-22, Then, however, the Red Devils suddenly tightened the zOne defense which it had adopted in the.second half,, while poor tell handling and passing on the part of the Little Quakers began to contribute considerably to their ineffectiveness on the offense. Qnly one field goal was .tallied by the Garnet in this last period, while their opponents added fifteen points to their total. ' Visitors. Rally at Half. In the second half with Dickinson employing a zone defense, the Garnet offense faltered, while the Red Devil attack went into high gear with its fast break that sent forwards down the floor ahead of the opposing defense to tally on easy lapups. Despite the fact that Jerry Simson, who was having a bad evening, went scoreless after half-time, and Cope garnered but two points, the visitors managed to register six counters in the third quarter to stay but one point behind. Then came Dickinson's rally and with it the victory. Stan Cope, Swarthmore high scorer with 12 points, scored-10 of tHese in the first half, during which the whole "Garnet attack was functioning fairly well. The Lehigh contest saw the local team going well during the first two periods, though behind, 27-23, at halftime ; then in the final quarter Coach Stetson's charges were unable to match the pace set by the aggressive Engineers. Early in the third period the Garnet pulled up to within two points of the. Brown .and White, but thereafter the home team was seldom menaced. The smooth ball handling, tricky at time?,, combined.with fine,.play off the backboards, were big factors in the Engineers' victory. Bindar, sophomore forward, set the pace in scoring with 22 points, although playing with a strained muscle; Cope and Simson of the Garnet each scored 11 for the loser's cause. Co-captain Reber of the Brown and White made several'fine shots during the course of the evening, and his fine passing contributed much to Lehigh's victory. f D Courtmen to Face Drexel Thursday Jayvee Cagers Active; West Chester to Meet Garnet Natators Saturday This will be a busy week for Swarthmore sporting fans with the athletic calendar filled every day.

Under the careful supervision of Stephen Lax, '4l, the whole group, mingling with Haverfordians and Bryn Mawrons, found its way to Bryn Mawr's newest dormitory dining room for lunch and the keynote address by Margaret Fairchild of Bryn Mawr. Seminars on various phases of social work, including adult education, work camps, case and group work, and social legislation, were conducted between the two culinary attractions, lunch and tea. Supports Cooperatives Informal climax of the afternoon was the speech given by Jerry Voorhis, Representative from California. After briefly analyzing the present situation, he stated that the solution would be found in "a sufficiently dynamic answer to modern economic production." His own suggestion is that "if there is one almost completely constructive movement in the world, it is the cooperative movement." It is the truly democratic solution to the problems of the machine age. Speaking of the work that college students are doing Mr. Voorhis considered it most important to coordinate it with the work of other existing agencies. He emphasized the need of organizing toward recognizable and realizable goals. "One of America's aims," the speaker concluded, "Should be the relief of suffering throughout the world, not forgetting that of our next-door neighbor nor that of the man in the next block." Student Survey Shows Preference for Marriage American college students are making normal plans for the future, despite a keen awareness of the problems in the world today, according to Student Opinion Surveys of America. Nearly twothirds of the men and women interviewed hope to be married within three years after they leave school. Their choices of future occupations include a marked preference for teaching among the women and for engineering, teaching, and private business, among the men. These results do not indicate a lack of interest in world affairs, however. Sixtysix percent of those interviewed want education in college regarding the facts about the various "isms" of modern world politics, while 34 percent consider such education dangerous to our democracy.Waltz Evening Scheduled A waltz evening will be given by the German Club Friday, from 8:30 to 10, in Bond.

All students who have had any Greek, either at Swarthmore or elsewhere, ars requested to leave their names with Mr. Shero or Mr. Chalmers through College mail this week, if they want to try out for the play. Inter-College Seminars Planned for Next Year For Political Scientists Starting with the first semester of next year Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr will offer cooperative seminars in the field of political science. According to Frances Fussell of the political science deiDartment, present plans call for a three semester trial of the proposal. Members of the faculty from the three institutions will lead seminars in each of the colleges. The late Robert C. Brooks was scheduled to give the first seminar at Bryn Mawr next semester with Haverford students participating, in "Democracies and Dictatorships." No successor has been announced for this seminar.
