Holiday Program Greeks Stage Feese to Direct Scheduled Today Formal Rush AssemblyNov.29

Members of the Newman Club, Stu­ dent Christian Association, and those of Jewish faith are presenting the an­ nual Thanksgiving assembly at 11 a.m. today in College Hall.

The program consists of students reading appropriate verses and pray­ ers for the Thanksgiving season. The college choir is singing several num­ bers with Pat Zapka as organist.

Committee members for this assem­ bly include'Jerry Ruppel, Jack Kirchgessner, Margie Miller, Paul Cunning­ ham, and Jerry Reeder.

Elbins to Entertain

Dr. and Mrs. Elbin’s annual open house will be held on December 10 at Colonial Heights. All students, faculty and staff members are invited to the President’s home from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m.

As in previous years, the Elbins will serve refreshments to the guests. Co­ lonial Heights will be appropriately decorated for the reception in keeping with the Christmas season.

Upon arriving, guests ^will be greeted by the Elbins and served with refreshments. Later in the evening Dr. Elbin will play the organ while all join in singing Christmas Carols.

Since November 7, the sororities have been engaged in rush parties which will continue until December 6.

The Lambda Phi Epsilon sorority was the first to have a formal rush party. Forty rushees were invited to “Safari to Lambdaland.” The party was held at the Christian Church in West Liberty, November 7.

“My Fair Lady” was the theme of the Chi Delta Phi sorority rush party.

Fifty fair ladies were invited to the Hotel McLure on November 13.

Iota Psi Alpha sorority were hos­ tesses to forty-two rushees at a for­ mal dinner held Tuesday, November 14, at the Esquire Club, Wheeling; the theme was Parisian.

Thirty-five rushees will be the guests of the Alpha Tau Gamma sorority, November 29, at Figaretti’s Supper Club. The theme follows the holiday spirit, “Winter Wonderland.” Many alumnae plan to attend the formal dinner.

On December 5, the Phi Delta Alpha Sorority will have their formal rush party at the Esquire Club, Wheeling.

The theme of the party will be cen­ tered around the holiday motif.

West Liberty’s choir, directed by Dr. Gerald Feese, and two other groups will sing for the November 29 assembly in College Hall.

One number the choir will sing is written by Giovanni Gabrieli, who was a 17th Century composer. “In Ecclesiis” will be sung with the choir divided into a large and small group separated on the stage. Dr. Feese said this is a ceremonial piece that was written for some important function rather than for a religious service.

The choir will also sing a few other selections during the assembly.

Two other choral groups will par­ ticipate in the program. The Women’s Glee Club organized a few years ago will be directed by Mr. Nels Leonard.

The West Liberty Singers is the other group to participate. This group con­ sists of 16 people selected from the choir. They will sing two brief songs from a group of six written by Paul Hindermith a contemporary German composer who taught at Yale and since the war has been teaching in Switzerland.

Being thankful is simply being appreciative, of course, and no person with any spiritual development fails to appreciate what others have done and are doing for him.

God the Creator deserves our thanks because He has given mankind the materials out of which we can create a veritable heaven on earth if we wish. It is not God’s fault that man has set barriers between himself and his neighbors and even threatens the existence of the human species by misuse of the fruits of in­ telligence.

Stevenson’s lines, “The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings’’ were meant to reflect a childish conception of the happiness of kings. But even more important was Stevenson’s reminder that beauty, friendship, work, affection, challenge, nobility, creativity, achievement are part of the normal human pattern.

We at West Liberty State College should be especially thank­ ful this November that we have full opportunity to exercise those powers that are uniquely human. We can think and we can love.

To do both is to honor the God who created us and to render Him thanks befitting His blessings.

—President Elbin

Foreign Student Discovers Education Systems Differ “I’m glad to have come here,” says Celia Zamora, a lovely 20 year old student from Sante Pe, Argentina.

Celia has come to West Liberty on a scholarship from the Institute of International Education, New York.

She was one of three applicants out pf twenty who won a scholarship. After applying and pasising the tests, she was awarded the scholarship to West Liberty because of her high grades.

Celia is the fifth of six children; she has three sisters and two brothers ranging in age from 19 to 27. All of the children attend the University in Sante Fe. Before coming to WLS Celia studied at the University of Law and taught the first grade for two and a half years.

She is interested in criminal law but says that it is too hard for women.

She studies civil law also. Here at WLS she is a liberal arts major and classified as a junior special student.

Eventually, she plans to continue her studies in law. She is not a transfer student here but has come just for the experience and to compare the systems of education.

Celia said that she couldn’t under­ stand us very well at first. It was hard for her to follow lectures but now she finds it much easier.

Our educational systems differ in that at the University they are more independent. For their final examina­ tion they are tested orally by their professor. She finds our objective tests confusing especially multiple choice because of the language diffi­ culty.

According to Celia, attendance at the University for regular students is much like ours. They are required to attend classes, and after so many absences, they are dropped from the

course.

When first coming here she thought wd were very different but after liv­ ing here, she said that she can see all people are the same.

Celia Zamora Celia loves the changing of the sea­ sons and thinks that it is very beauti­ ful here. The seasons in Argentina are opposite from ours. July is their cold­ est month and December, January, and February are the warmest.

She also explained that the food in Argentina is very different and in­ stead of three meals a day they have four. She said that they have a very light breakfast, then at 1 o’clock they have lunch, at 5 o’clock they have tea, and then at 9 or 9:30 o’clock they have dinner. It is Eifter dinner that they go out to the movies or other social activities. She also added that they do not have chaperons when they go out as many people think.

Celia likes to dance very much. She said they also have rock-n-roll but their best music is the cha-cha. She also likes parties much like the American college student. She knits and sews, making most of her own clothes.

As a final comment, Celia added that she is here not only to study our educational system but also to get ac­ quainted with our way of life and cus­ toms.

'History Repeats Itself...'

By Timothy Herringbone Hoo! Haw! History repeated. We’ve run into the Renaissance in history courses and now we find it existing among us.

What say you? You doubt the verity of my postulation? Then, as a Galileo, I must enumerate the conditions lead­ ing to my hypothesis.

The Renaissance was an age of hu­ manism: man regarded himself as an individual. It was an age of love of life: wine, women and song. It was an age of enlightenment: the study of the past to discover the present. Is this not with us today? Yet it goes in guise—as a college education.

The ever popular salon was a large room used as a meeting place where the problems and inventions of the day were discussed. Over a period of 400 years the salon has evolved into the student union.

William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Machiavelli, the great names in Renaissance literature have been re­ placed by Tennessee Williams, Jack Kerouac, and Ann Landers.

The Renaissance witnessed the in­ vention of gunpowder and Caxton’s printing of the Bible and Chaucer. In our age we have witnessed the inven­ tion of the hydrogen bomb and the printing of “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” and Peanuts.”

During the Renaissance an artist would lie on his back and paint a pic­ ture. Today an artist paints his back and then lies on his canvas.

The Renaissance had a great re­ former in Martin Luther and we have Jules Pfeiffer.

I have stated my conditions. I rest my case.

WLS Cafeteria Serves Milk; 9600 Glasses Did you know that WLS students who eat in the cafeteria of Roger’s Hall consume over 600 loaves of bread a week?

Or, did you know that this same hungry mass drinks 9600 glasses of milk in a week’s time? No, WLS situdents aren’t starved animals, but are the usual college crowd — hungry!!

Actually, there are over 500 students helping to eat their share of food.

Maybe you didn’t realize the work and amount of food involved in the preparation of each meal. The “kitch­ en crew”, working in two shifts, is composed of 15 regulars and 12 stu­ dents. Did you ever wonder how early they started in the morning to have breakfast waiting for you before your 8:00 class? Six a.m. is the hour!! And by the way, it takes 40 dozen fresh eggs for one mornings order of scram­ bled eggs!

Fourty-three cents won’t go very far today, but that is the average cost of each meal you eat in the cafeteria.

Not too many restaurants can boast of this price!

Preparing food for 500 people is a big job. Can you imagine fixing 200 pounds of potatoes for the average dinner meal? Well, this all happens in Rogers Hall Cafeteria where 500 hun­ gry people are fed every day.

New Group Formed; Students Invited An informal discussion group con­ cerning current events was recently formed by Dr. Reuter. The group has been meeting on Wednesdays at 2:00 in Room A of the Center. At the two previous meetings the advocates of world affairs discussed the European Common Market.

Anyone interested is invited to at­ tend these informal discussions.

Crib Notes

By PUBLIUS AURELIUS GLATZ Two young Romans were at their usual hangout atop a tene­ ment in lower-low-class Rome. On a clear day they could see Appians arduously making their wa,y along the Appian Way. In fact, they were only a stone’s throw from the spot where Stephen had recently been martyred.

“What’ll we do tonight, Marcus,” Brutus muttered, slouch­ ing lazily against a gargoyle.

“I dunno,” Marcus replied sullenly in broken Gallic.

At this unfamiliar affront Brutus chidingly punched his friend in the left kidney.

“When in Rome, speak as the Romans do,” Brutus chirped as Marcus writhed at his feet, Brutus resumed his leisurely posi­ tion against the gargoyle and stared detachedly into the darken­ ing Roman sky.

Marcus, also lost in thought, rolled cautiously on his back, grimacing at Brutus’s display of discrimination. Having migrated recently from the slums of Gaul, Marcus often lapsed into his native tongue. His mind wandered, vividly recalling his arrival in Rome. He had run away from his home in Gaul and boarded a ship to Rome. As his home had been a Gallic seaport town, he was discriminated against as a sea-Gaul and forced to row the ship to Rome.

He had walked into the great city to be greeted by an amiable shower of rocks and putrefied vegetables. Naively pleased at this variation on a ticker-tape parade, Marcus smiled happily at the throng and shouted the only Roman phrase he knew: “Beware the Ides of March.” For this Marcus was immortalized as a sooth­ sayer. (This is confusing since Marcus had not uttered a word of sooth in all his life.)

A sharp kick from Brutus’ hob-nailed sandal brought Marcus back to reality. He rolled onto his side and looked at Brutus, who had shuffled over to his coop and was busily brushing an albatross.

Marcus picked at a hole in the left shoulder of his toga and thoughtfully regarded his companion.

Brutus was unusually proud of his albatross aviary and spent long evenings caressing his pets. Only one other pastime offered Brutus more pleasure than his birds; he was ecstatically happy when he was creeping stealthily through the parking lot of the Circus Maximum stealing hub-caps from chariots. His collection of blood-spattered, axe-head hub-caps was the envy of every underpriviledged slum-dweller in Rome.

“Hey, Marcus,” Brutus bellowed, replacing his albatross, “how about we go over to the Colosseum and tease the Christians, huh?”

“AAAAh,” Marcus shrugged indifferently, “the lions got rid of them last night. Why don’t we just snatch some broadswords and go down to the baths and mug a few senators.”

“No excitement there,” Brutus answered, scratching his hip.

“Well, what say we go over to the Rubicon and cast some die,maybe pick up a couple denari?”

“Sounds ‘oke’ to me,” Brutus agreed. He followed Marcus down the fire-escape and onto the Roman roadway.

Grinning, Brutus chalked a charming “A-OK” on the waU of a market-house. “In hoc signo vinces,” he screamed nasally and the two laughing Romans ran toward the Rubicon.

Inquiring Reporter QUESTION — In view of Russians recent testing do you think that the United States should resume its atmospheric testing?

Mr. Schramm, Instructor in Physics and Mathematics: “No, I don’t think we should resume our atmospheric testing.

As far as fire power is concerned, we are probably far ahead of the Russians anyway. Also, there is no need to further pollute the atmosphere with the radio isotopes caused in the testing.”

Dr. Leaman, Professor of History: “One of the most important consequences of the Cold War, in my opinion, is the impression that the respective colossi, the United States and the USSR, are making on the developing nations as the drama is being played out on the world stage. After object­ ing so strenuously, on the basis of the danger of radio-active fall­ out, to the recent Russian tests, it does appear to me that our government will be placing itself in an equivocal position if it resumes testing. On the other hand, as long as the politics of power continues to constitute the basis of the relationship among nations, the advisability of discontinuing testing may be highly questionable.”

Tracing the Toppers Basketeers Ready for Tourney

By LARRY LEBIN Any college going through the phase of existence that West Liberty is at present has many problems. The athletic situation is just one of many, and perhaps a minor one. Between 1956 and 1961 West Liberty has changed enormously, from a very small state college to a large one. Of course growth in size is always complicated by what we can call “growing pains.” These pains do not just occur in the Athletic Department. They occur in the need for more class rooms, more parking facilities, more teachers, and more of many, many other things. However since this column is concerned with sports, let’s take a look at the needs of the Athletic Department. The Department consists of four teachers, three of which are coaches. Mr. Blatnik doubles as Athletic Direc­ tor. At present, there is no real need for any addition to the faculty of the Athletic Department, but the future will soon be upon us, and in the future there will be a need. There will also be a need to look for new teams to compete against. West Liberty is growing away from the conference. This may not be apparent as yet, blit in future years it will be, and it should be prepared for now.

One of the main “gripes” heard around campus is that of no Athletic Scholarships. Why doesn’t West Liberty award scholar­ ships for athletics? This is a very good question that I am sure could be answered with ease. However, if a student is proficient in sports why shouldn’t he be given a scholarship? There are many fine athletes around the valley that would be able to come to college with the help of a scholarship. Not those who would only come to play football, but those who would come to study as well as compete. Why not help these young men out? After aU schol­ arships in education and music are awarded each year. Who is to say that teaching and music are more important than sports?

There are those, I suppose, who would make such comments and maybe they would be right, but collegiate competition is an Ameri­ can tradition which is almost as old as colleges.

The need for advancement is now. We can’t afford to wait until the last minute. If steps are taken to prepare for the growth, then we will not lag behind. So when there is talk of making ad­ vancements in the scholarly pursuits, let us not forget athletics, for they play a very important part in our college life. *

Congratulations to the football team and coach Blatnik on a very fine season. The Hilltoppers registered a 6-2 record with a 6-2 mark in the conference. *

Wrapping up the season’s final game. West Liberty looked very impressive against the Falcons of Fairmont State. Behind 14-9 in the last quarter, the Toppers came roaring back to score and squeak out a 15-14 win. Playing their last game for West Liberty were Jack Schuetz, Vince Monseau, Burl Holmes, Zinn Gorby and Bill Parry. Each one of these players have given West Liberty their talent and spirit over the season and will be sorely missed next year.

Girls Fired-Up for Physical Education

Soccer and field hockey are part of the Women’s Physical Education classes here at WLS. It seems strange to see these delicate pieces of gingham committing the supposed unladylike acts of sticking, kicking, and screaming on their lawn-battlefield of Shotwell Hall each class period, but they are a part of the “fitness plan” for the women.

“We are becoming a sedentary people,” says Mrs. Provance, the girls’ instructor, “soccer and hockey give the girls a chance to get in fine condition ” Proof of this statement comes from some of the participants and observers of the girls’ classes. Carol Gerrero, Carnegie, Pa., complains that she “can never get enough sports.” A similar remark came from Carol Gresko of Pitts­ burgh. Judy Johnson, Wheeling thinks the sports provide “vigorous exercise, which I certainly need.” Clifford Wilson, Wheeling, and Jim Hunter, West Alexander, Pa., agree that the girls “are profiting greatly by these healthful games.” Another Wheeling fellow, Ronald Hutson, opines “exercise and a chance to reduce” are opportunities of the games.

Overall the girls are having fun and at the same time learning strategy, competition, and a better appreciation of sports in general. They are exercising their bodies and using their minds, two entailments of any sport.

College women rarely get a chance to show their athletic abilities, but Mrs. Provance says there is a possibility of a field hockey match between the females of WLS and Bethany.

'Toppers Edge Falcons West Liberty’s Hilltoppers rallied to score in the final quarter and de­ feat the Fairmont State Falcons 15-14 at New Martinsville on Nov. 4.

WLS had taken a 7-0 lead on Bobby Douglas’ gallop around left end for 27 yards and a touchdown in the second period. A safety in the third period set the score at 9-0.

Roy Kasimakis waded through Fair­ mont’s secondary for 27 yards to set up the ‘Toppers’ final score. After dragging some defenders and writhing free of others, the big fullback was finally brought down on the Fairmont 1. Two plays later. Jack Schuetz hur­ dled over 'the line to score.

Fairmont rallied for two touch­ downs in the first seven and one-half minutes of the fourth quarter.

Linebacker Larry Bruner recovered a blocked punt in the end zone to cut the scoring ice for the visitors.

With a little more than five minutes remaining in the game, the Blatnik eleven began a drive which was cli­ maxed by Kasimakis’ run and which resulted in victory. WLS got a break when, on fourth down and five to go, Fairmont was penalized five yards, placing the ball only inches short of a first down.

Enthusiasm of the crowd was at a peak as the Hilltoppers fought their way to score. West Liberty fans filled

The 1961-62 edition of the Hilitopper basketball squad will take the floor Friday at Cumberland College, Williamsburg, Kentucky in the South­ ern States Tournament. The Toppers will meet Pikeville College of Ken­ tucky in the first game while Cumber­ land goes against Piedmont College of Georgia in the second game.

This is the first year for the South­ ern States Tourney, a two-day affair in which the winners of the first round advance to the final game and the first round losers move into the consolation game. Topper coach, Ollie Olson, has no detailed information on the participating teams but expects keen competition on the basis of the teams’ performances in the past.

Coach Olson looks at the Tourney as “two extra games to see how the team will do in the upcoming season.”

Gone from last lears’ WVIAC Cham­ pionship team are Ray Gerard, Jim Tegley, Dickie Pannett, and Bill Beazel. Returning lettermen are Seniors Gene Franke and George Niggemeyer, Sophomores Freddie Chambers, Floyd McFadden, Floyd Schuler, and Sam Andy.

Rich Saffield, a Freshman from Bellaire, “rates a crack at the starting lineup against Pikeville”, according to Olson.

The only definite starters, however, are Franke and Niggemeyer. The Top­ pers, as usual, are plagued with a lack of height and have only 'the 6’4” Andy and the 6’3” Saffield to go above the 6’0” average of this year’s team.

Looking ahead to play in the WVIAC, Coach Olson expects Morris Harvey and West Virginia State to be the contenders for the conference title

Local Group Switchboard Operators Initiates 38 Student Switchboard Operator, Sandra Urbanek, is pictured apuve at uci' full time Job.

NeedTact andPatience Experience as a matchmaker, a mechanic, a clerk and a gen­ eral information agent. . . these are but a few of the qualifications needed by the switchboard operators in Rogers Hall.

The fact this switchboard is the “main line” for all phones on campus, except the pay phones, requires two full-time operators and five assistants working in shifts. These operators take all incoming calls, place calls for both faculty and administration, and perform various other services.

This all seems like a fairly easy job which requires only a little me­ chanical ability and knowledge. But, actually it involves a great amount of tact, courtesy and agility. For when the coed utters that familiar phrase “Hello, Rogers Hall”, her job has just begun. ' Besides her regular job as switch­ board operator, the woman on duty must run to answer the phone in the lobby; notify the dorm residents when their dates arrive; appease the fel­ lows when their dates are an hour

Art Gallery Opened Here Maybe we don’t have a Picasso, Rembrandt, or a Millet on campus, but who knows, maybe someday the name of Hatfield, or Dodson will be well known in art circles.

West Liberty students, specifically art majors, now have an opportunity to display their talents. A new art gallery on the third floo^ of McCol­ loch Hall has been provided for a number of purposes.

First of all, the impressive looking gallery provides an area in which art students may display their best works.

This year all senior art majors will be required to have a “one-man art ex­ hibit” to take the place of the compre­ hensive examinations required by all other graduates.

The new gallery is made up of white pegboard attached to the wall along the halls of the building. The works of Patricia Dodson and Thomas Hatfield can be viewed by students while pass­ ing through these halls on their way to classes.

The department now consists of two professors, Mr. William T. Martin, and Mr. Bernie K. Peace. There are now 28 art majors and 34 minors.

THE TRUMPET

late; run a lonely hearts club, and be able to tinker accurately with the control box when the switchboard goes haywire.

Also, if the coed on duty happens to be a good student, she always ends up giving academic aid to her fellowstudents.

Anything else? Well, the operators always manage to double as hat check girls, keepers of the lost and found dept., postal clerks, carriers of mes­ sages, etc. But, the “touchiest” job the switchboard operator has to cope with is that of the “unwanted caller.”

Most of the residents of Rogers Hall don’t seem to realize that what they reply over the teletalk can easily be heard by the visitors at the switch­ board. In this respect the operator has to learn to switch off the tele­ talk at the right moment in order to keep everybody happy.

This type of situation usually makes the operator feel as though she wants to leave and never return. But, there are good moments too. For instance, the operator receives a call and the conversation goes something like this: “Hello, Rogers Hall.”

“Hello, who is this speaking?”

“Whom did you wish to speak with sir?”

“Well, I did want to ask about the water shortage in town, but you sure have a beautiful voice, (pause) What are you doing tonight after work?”

Is this the only advantage? No, for working at the switchboard gives the coeds an excellent opportunity to meet many people and to learn the names of the new students on campus. They even have the opportunity to learn many different skills. Where else could you find a job requiring so many talents?

Maybe the next time you approach the switchboard, the operator will have acquired a new talent and an added duty.

Dr. Leaman Attends UN Council Session

“To feel the pulse of Europe” was the reason given by Dr. Leaman, professor of history, for her summer visit to Europe. In preparation for this trip she made valuable contacts with knowl­ edgeable people here and abroad, which, among other things, enabled her to become an eye witness of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

The meetings were held in the UN building in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the largest office building }n Europe.

In describing this building,' Dr. Lea­ man stated that it is not any empty monument in which the ideals of men like Briand and Cecil are dead and entombed, but a living thing in which those ideals continue to work for the peace of mankind.

One of the principal matters con­ sidered by the Council was the U. S. resolution concerning the use of vol­ unteers for technical assistance in de­ veloping countries. “Volunteer” car­ ries the connotation of international technical assistants; “Peace Corps” that of national and American. It must be said that the U. S. came to Geneva with an excellent idea but that the situation degenerated into a dogfight.

The USSR accused the Peace Corps for imperialistic purposes. Klutznick, head of the U. S. delegation, made a valiant effort to keep the issue from becoming political. On this point the U. S. delegate said, “It is time we face one simple reality, which is that these programs are in our own en­ lightened interest, to raise the stand­ ards of underdeveloped countries and thus relieve war and make life less harried for us all.”

Dr. Leaman stated that it was a mistake for the U. S. to have intro­ duced the draft resolution on the use of volunteers. We should have gone in by the back door and had some small country introduce It or at least have had some other country sponsor it with the U. S. Then, too, it was first raised at an unfortunate moment, by Stevenson in April in New York at the spring meeting of ESOSOC, at the time of the Cuba incident when tempers were running high. An amend­ ed resolution providing that the pro­ gram be tried on an experimental and limited basis was passed.

There were other ideas of Interest.

One of these was contained ii^. the answer given by Klutznick when the USSR attacked the capitalistic sys­ tem. The U. S. delegate gave an excel­ lent analysis of the mid-twentieth cen­ tury capitalistic system, and pointed

Dr. Bertha Leaman out to the Russian delegation that it was attacking nineteenth century cap­ italism which is very different from the capitalism of today.

Mr. Hammarskjold described what he called the “Revolution in our Thinking,” by stating that we have accepted the idea that greater social and economic equality among nations must be established just as we earlier accepted the idea that this greater equality must exist within nations.

This idea, he added, would have been considered rank national heresay a few years ago but that now it is ac­ cepted as axiomatic.

The concept of partnership between the developed countries and the less developed ones was repeatedly empha­ sized as was the increased awareness of the interdependence of economic and social development.

The most significant aspect of the entire Council session from the point of view of Dr. Leaman was the effect of the power struggle on the repre­ sentatives of the developing nations.

Their allegiances will be determined in the last analysis by the degree to which they respect and believe in the integrity of the respective powers en­ gaged in the power struggle.
