have paid their entrance deposit and 40 others have been accepted for admission these figures are by no means final or some of the men who have been okayed may decide to accept membership in either the navy's v-12 or the army's reserve program it is also possible that some requests for admission may come in in the few weeks left before the end of the semester most of the matriculating stu dents are seventeen year olds who will be able to remain for only one or two semesters although there are several men honorably discharged from the armed serv ices who previous to their mili tary duty attended colleges other than lehigh approximately three-quarters of the new men will be enrolled in the engineer ing school with every department receiving new students although most of the enrollees are equally divided between the mechanical chemical and electrical engineer ing departments not the basis of success empha sized dr magoun in general the speaker did not advise marriage befose going to war but he made it clear that the couple had to decide themselves and should face the possibilities of casualties and death before making a de cision dr magoun went on to say we punish ourselves unconsciously for whatever we do that is not up to our standards value of stand ards is the important thing con tinued the professor he pointed out that often the parents are at fault for many false impressions about sex imprinted on a child's mind sex must be explained to the child fully and clearly in de cent language and not made taboo he commented on the import ance of religious compatability mental compatability the neces sity of husband and wife sharing responsibilities of the home and ways and means of avoiding quar rels mutual emotional stability is a criterion for the young couple the great unfitness for marriage is due to emotions that never grew up mutual background and out look are main points in deciding the right person for a partner in life the final test is mutual long-run sex attraction — a neces sity for a happy lasting marriage 4 hours of questions dr magoun spoke formally for an hour and after a ten minute intermission answered the stu dents questions for four hours during this question period many puzzling questions concerning sex were answered and individual problems cleared up by the guest speaker the listeners showed great interest and participation in this question and answer period dr magoun referred his audience to his book called balanced per sonality a sequel to his prep aration for marriage copies of the latter were sold for fifty cents to all persons interested and im mediately sixty co p i*e s were bought and orders for about forty more were taken by dr magoun the all-university banquet proved a grand success and well worth the time and effort spent on it dr magoun proved an agreeable and humorous speaker and was whole-heartedly accepted by the student body price 5 cents bethlehem pa wednesday may 31 1944 vol li no 43 arcadia

audience felt was justified as a poetic jus tice end to any melodrama of the 1890's robert mayer the villain raised the curtain and closed it with a villainy that was superb who could ask for more exciting escapes than two fisted showdown of chester the hero played by bill reehl fritz yon bergen played the heroine daisy in a daze but with good excuse as he picked up the script the eve ning
