WITH THE OUTING CLUB
FEBRUARY ALWAYS SEEMS to be one of the merriest months of the year for the campus at large, and it surely is the busiest month for the Outing Club. The Carnival Committee has been planning and laboring for the past twelve months over this twenty-sixth annual Winter Carnival. Although this is not an anniversary event, as was that of last year, this year's Carnival will retain all the features of the Silver Anniversary Carnival, and will also have the Intercollegiate Ski Union annual meet and a women's ski race among the sports events. The Committee handling the 1936 event follows:"
David F. Putnam '36, Keene, N. H., Chairman; Louis T. Benezet '36, Manchester, N. H., Features; Oliver P. Brown '36, New Castle, Pa., Competitions; J. Willcox Brown '37, Montchanin, Del., Publicity; C. Dean Chamberlin '26, Hanover, N. H., Advisor; Curtis C. Comstock '36, Glen Rock, N. J., Outdoor Evening; William S. Curtis '36, Webster Groves, Mo., Personnel; John B. Feltner '3l, Hanover, N. H., Officials; William U. Niss '36, Milwaukee, Wis., Member-at-Large; Landon G. Rockwell '35, Hanover, N. H., Finance; Z. Waters White '36, New London, Conn., Police.
This year's Outdoor Evening is entitled Schneeweissen, the theme being taken from the Grimm fairy legend Snow White. The set for the presentation is a miniature Bavarian village in a winter setting, apropos of the Dartmouth skiers competing in Garmisch. Polly Blodgett, Junior Woman National Figure Skating Champion, and Roger Turner, former Men's National Figure Skating Champion, are offering their services for the event.
The Carnival ski races will constitute this year's I. S. U. championship meet. (The I. S. U. includes ski teams of leading colleges of the Eastern United States and Canada. Last year the races were held at St. Saveur, Quebec, where Dartmouth won first honors.) Teams in the Ski Union competing in Hanover are: McGill (Dartmouth's closest rival in last year's meet and runner-up at the Lake Placid Sno-Bird meet in December), New Hampshire, Middlebury, Cornell, Williams, Amherst, Massachusetts State, Maine, Norwich, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Dartmouth is represented on the I. S. U. governing board by Bern Woods '36, captain of the Dartmouth ski team, who holds the office of vice president Of the organization, and Bob Frank '36, manager of the ski team, who is the secretary-treasurer.
The other innovation, the women's ski races, has been brought about by popular demand. Judging from non-competitive performances of feminine visitors of past Carnivals, this event will offer keen competition and will be taken too seriously to be regarded as a mere novelty.
