              make 10 of all marriages un productive according to the speaker he stated that in the last case neither principal in the marriage may be actually sterile civilization has built up in hibitions which prohibit proper sexual relations claimed trem bley a woman may form a nerve block that robs sex of all pleasure or in both men and women frigidity may result from unfortunate sexual exper iences maturity in the temperate zones is reached at the average age of 13.8 asserted the doctor this disproves the fallacy that women mature more rapidly in the tropics where they reach the age of fertility at 14.6 birth control said trem bley is unnatural but biologic ally it is not physically detri mental after all everything we do today is unnatural bus-rid ing listening to the radio wear ing shoes none of these are more natural or unnatural than birth control the female reproductive sys tem was the subject of a talk by dr francis j trembley as sistant professor of biology be fore more than 250 seniors in packard auditorium last night many unhappy marriages re sult from a lack of understand ing on the part of the husband of the female system said dr trembley although the phy sical side of marriage is impor tant it is by no means the only factor he added dr trembley's lecture was the second of a series designed to bring a realization of various phases of conjugal relations be fore the lehigh seniors he dealt with the actual reproduc tive process but sidelighted his talk with problems incurred by abortion sterility and frigidity abortion has no place in our civilization

president's commission for ad ministration of public law 774 and with the major religious resettlement agencies has been assigned the task of finding housing part-time jobs for self support and scholarships or tuition-waivers for dp students takes very little effort and en ergy to say hello to someone yet how often we pass each other mutely we of the brown and white feel that if once people start greeting each other on the cam pus the unity of the entire school will be strengthened in stead of thinking of a fellow passing by as just another man think of him as one of the le high family and a relation of yours after all we will all be lehigh men till we die so why not act as such mr moody says howdy bub with much effort yet with suc cess why can't lehigh students do the same often times we don't greet people because we don't remember their names how about just saying howdy bub it'll suffice and we're sure of its success this school survives because of its alumni yale harvard princeton and any other school which is an old well-establish ed institution has become thus because of the association of the men who were once its un dergraduates this alumni as sociation and school foundation had its origin in undergraduate days we need such union on this campus not only for the future of lehigh but also to ob tain a well knit school for the present it doesn't take much energy to say howdy bub when you pass a student or faculty mem ber in your daily tours try it we feel certain that by saying howdy bub or any other greeting to members of the le high family will produce a closer school and eventually an out standing university continued on page 5 col 3 implying that communism begins among the uneducated and declaring that present edu cational opportunity is neither satisfactory nor fair to the american people wagner col lege debaters proceeded to win the decision over lehigh uni versity last thursday night tlie proposition debated was resolved that the federal gov ernment should adopt a policy of equalizing educational oppor tunity in tax supported schools through annual grants we are speaking especially for the children of those states which are spending a higher proportion of their income for education but can not start to match the financial power of the rich states stated vincent n baxter staten island n v and omar n gjerness eau clare wis of wagner college lehigh debaters newton frishberg arts 50 and paul handwerk i.e 52 admitted that weaknesses exist in the american school system but that the inequalities exist in states not between them they presented statistics to show that negroes in rich states like new jersey and california are not receiving much more education than the negroes in a poor state like georgia only bureauocracy and the possibility that the federal government will eventually con trol education much as it is controlled now in communistic russia and as it had been in nazi germany were some of the negative arguments handwerk a freshman who crashed into the role of repre senting lehigh in line with the debate club's policy of choos ing men on ability and not sen iority contended that the fed eral government should collect less taxes from the states thus allowing the states to spend more money for education continued on page 2 col 4 the lehigh university brown and white royal family ' cast handles tough task in sparkling fashion bethlehem pa tuesday december 7 1948 vol xviii — no 18 ' life is faith says leading evangelist packer chapel packed vague faces in the audience it is indeed a shame that the talent of the performers was wasted on this too heavy work a lighter work would have scor ed heavily with this cast pre pared as it was for its measure of success the players had come along slowly but well friday could easily have meant their modest arrival miss sandra bishoff as gwen performed with a flair unusual for one so young it was heatrening to watch her refreshing gestres in a work which shackled the other actors undeservedly aword of praise also to the designers of the sets lighting was ably handled properties were well chosen with but one exception appropriate as the painting of othello may have been one refleci-s what aversion the artist may have had to painting him as shakespeare's moor granted one should leave v choice of plays to those train for such a task perhaps it is not within this writers scope to comment on this phase of the theater but it might be wiser in the future to consider the particular cast rather than the inaccessible heights by geri sideris i have nothing but praise for the friday night cast of the royal family handling as sprightly as it did a difficult work the players performed con fidently and well they were well-tutored it was evident and it is to the credit of their ad visers that the execution of the ferber-kaufman opus ran as smoothly as it did but why such a difficult and cumbersome vehicle was chosen will certainly remain one of the great mysteries of the current season only the ability of the players prevented the lines from sinking to a mere play on pro fanity if any fault is to be found with the cast it must lie in its inclination to over-act one cannot doubt that the playwrights captured the spirit of the barrymores but one wonders whom the authors had in mind to act the parts once the play was written frankly whom but the barrymores to expect any cast especially one lacking dramatic experience to step before the footlights and emote with the vulgar adept ness of the prince et al is surely a tragic illusion f flat the barrymorish thrusts fell could only be judged by thp dr trembley discusses sterility frigidity women's college glee club to join lehigh songsters for xmas vesper service the glee club from
