Many Prominent Speakers
An imposing list of speakers are being brought to Hanover this year by the Round Table, The Arts, and the Cercle Francais. The Round Table organization announces that it has secured Bertrand Russell, noted writer and sociologist, to speak November 29. Other speakers this fall include Mrs. Crystal Eastman, feminist, Arthur Garfield Hayes, New York criminal lawyer, John S. Sumner, secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice.
The Arts brought Bliss Carman October 11 to give readings from his poems. Mr. Carman wrote "Songs from Vagabondia" in collaboration with Richard Hovey 'B5. The Arts has also scheduled three other lecturers: Wyndham Lewis, Bristish painter, critic and short story writer; Upton Sinclair, author of "Oil" and other books; and Lewis Browne, authority on modern religious trends, who will speak on "This Believing World."
The Cercle Francais has secured Andre Maurois, author of "Ariel" and many other books, to lecture here November IS on "Byron and Shelley."
An international debate will be held early in the fall with a team made up of students from the Universities of Edinburgh and London of Great Britain. The question will be "Resolved, That this house deplores the corrupting influence of the democratic principles upon modem life." The Public Speaking Depart- ment has picked the following team to represent Dartmouth: E. H. Lyman, Jr. '2B, I. Rubin '2B; J. W. Martin '29, D. W. Orr '29; R. E. Ela '3O and J. M. O'Connor '3l.
A Theatre Guild company came to Hanover from New York to present Franz Molnar's famous play "The Guardsman" in Webster Hall October 12, under the auspices of the Players. The Players will put on their first show, "Seven Keys to Baldpate" by George M. Cohan, the week-end of the Cornell-Dartmouth football game. Girls in the community have been cast in the feminine roles.
J. E. McLaughlin '2B, of West Philadelphia, Pa., was chosen song-leader for the coming year out of a group of seven candidates. A. I. Dickerson '3O, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and C. E. Widmayer '3O, of Washington, D. C., were elected to the news board of The Dartmouth at the end of the fourth 1930 competition. R. M. Myers '2B, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was elected to head the Cercle Francais. Other officers elected were E. P. Arliss '29, of Washington, D. C., vice-president, A. J. Bergeron '29, of Berlin, N. H., secretary, and W. W. Harris '2B, of Swampscott, Mass, treasurer.
The freshmen will have their own glee club this year the Council on Student Organizations decided. This innovation was prompted by a desire to establish a training school for the main glee club.
A record crowd attended the reception given by the Outing Club a few days after College opened and 247 freshmen joined on the spot. The D. O. C. conducted their annual canvass for members October 10-17. Only the three upper classes were solicited individually since the Outing Club has decided to give up the door-to-door campaign within three years. The Club will seek its revenue from those who are really interested in its activities rather than from the whole student body.
Hallgarten was renovated during the summer and is now being used as temporary quarters by the Union Club. Due to the shortage of rooms this fall, 13 students are living in "Hellgate." The acuteness of the room shortage may be realized from the fact that four upperclassmen, unable to secure rooms in Hanover, rented part of a house in Norwich for the semester and now commute in an automobile belonging to one of them.
