before the college of education of pennsylva nia state college the subject of his talk was life liberty and edu cation coming events modern form of amusement the legal divorce and the freedom of present day women were all at tacked by pope pius xi in a 16,000 word encyclical published last week this encyclical is devoted en tirely to marriage and the sexual problems confronting marriage birth control a modern problem which has been highly discussed in recent years is classed by the pope as a crime and as a direct disobe dience of christian doctrine in contrast with this view is the fact that at a meeting of the protestant bishops last summer limited birth control was heartily endorsed modern movies books plays pic tures and fashions are all con demned by the encyclical as being a divergance from christian prin ciples and demoralizing to modern youth divorce is termed as being absolutely unnecessary the pope suggests a degree of cooperation between the church and the civil authorities civil law can assist the church in the execution of its important office if in laying down their ordinances they take account of what is described by di vine and ecclesiastical law and if the surprising strength of the lehigh wrestling team in the heav ier classes more than offset the ad vantage of the syracuse team in the lighter weights and the vic tories gained in these bouts gave the brown and white grapplers enough points to win the dual meet saturday in taylor gymnasium 19-9 going into the 155-pound bout the orange held a 9-3 lead by vir tue of winning three decisions to the one obtained by captain johnny engel in the earlier bouts four successive victories by the middle and heavyweight wrestlers put le high into the lead peck scored the first fall when he threw haight and this was followed by another by bill shanker in the 175-pound class at the expense of ashcroft this year's captain of the syracuse crew these two victories assured the brown and white of victory but not content with a bare win harry hirshberg added three points to the score by winning*a time deci sion over smith the two falls gained by peck and shanker were the only ones ob tained in the meet and were espe cially pleasing to the lehigh sup porters as they in some manner compensated for the poor showing of the lighter weights peck gains fall peck former choate school cap tain and wrestling his first varsity meet showed himself to be a fin ished performer when with the as surance of a veteran he quicly took his larger opponent to the mat and proceeded to gain a quick fall peck had some trouble applying a pin ning hold but after the bout had gone slighthly over six minutes he clamped on a forearm and reverse body grip to score five points and send lehigh in the lead for the first time as in the peck bout shanker en countered a larger man but his su perior speed and wrestling knowl edge asserted itself and in the short time of three minutes and two sec onds he was showing the orange oarman the rafters through the medium of a half nelson and furth er wrist hold the two lettermen legs engel and paul seal won their bouts with surprising ease and although ei their was able to score a fall forc ed the battle and kept their op ponent on the defensive seal tried every variety of hold at one time just missing the famed split scis sors but the man from syra cuse seemed content to accept a time decision against him engel wins decision the bout between engel and an derson was slighthly different as johnny got his famous legs wrap ped around his opponent in a figure four scissors and although he main tained this hold for the major part of the bout he could not pin his man the opening bout between brit ton and forward was made inter esting only through the aggressive tactics of britton who was contin ually pressing his man in an effort to gain a fall although these tac tics gave his opponent a chance to gain the necessary time advantage britton's wrestling ably exempli fied billy sheridan's slogan a fall or nothing bob dalling a sophomore and art ciastkewitz met the only two veterans on the orange team and both put up good bouts dalling gave barry runner-up in the 135 pound class in last year's inter collegiates a great battle and forc ed the syracuse captain to wrestle a wary bout and lost the match by only slighthly over a minute cias kewitz met a much stronger and larger opponent in carpenter and vtas unable to match his strength although in the closing minutes of the bout he brought the spectators to their feet wher with bar and chancery he took carpenter down and barely missed throwing him decision in unlimited hirshberg gave the audience a thrill in the battle of tjie mighty when after having piled up a suit able time allowance he barely missed being thrown but managed to wiggle out and gain the deci sion an innovation was effected in this meet when both coaches agreed not to sit on the benches with their teams but to retire to the

tau beta pi room 167 packard laboratory penalties are fixed for offenders the encyclical states modern women must obey their husbands and stay closer to the home according to this document however it further states that this subjection of wife to husband may vary according to conditions in fact if the husband neglects his duty it is the wife's privilege to take his place in directing the family the pope also condemns the mod ern emancipation of women espe cially when it leads the mothers away from their homes he also considers certain forms of welfare work of dubious value the modern theories of compan ionate marriage and free love are declared as degrading to civiliza tion by the document and belittl ing to the marriage sacrament the sponsors of these modern doctrines are carried to the extremes of un bridled lust the pope stated the mixed marriage of a catholic and a protestant the forbidding of mar riage between a catholic and a di vorced person and the catholic views on divorce were also dis cussed in detail two hundred and fifty volumes were added to the lehigh library during the month of december as with former purchases the new books cover a number of topics but the science history and literature sections were each increased by 65 volumes the most interesting books on scientific subjects are introduc tion to entomology by com stock studies in the literature of natural science by dracfiman at home among the atoms by kendall history of biological theories by radl star clusters by shapley accoustics by ste wart and modern physics by wilson the outstanding books on litera ture are the house of fulfil ment by beck twenty-four hours by bromfield william shakespeare by chambers the american scene by clark new england vista by eaton in search of america by hazard and the modern italian novel by vittorini the most valuable works in the history collection are the enor mous room by cummings twelve bad men by dark the life history of brigham young by gates

institutions exper ienced trouble with student drink ing and behavior at dances drinking was listed as one of the chief trouble-makers at 26 of the institutions six colleges reported trouble with extreme types of danc ing eleven reported a great deal of trouble because of attendance at cafes and roadhouses after dances and some declared that withdraway from halls to cars and rides after dances the stag line and attendance at public dances brought com plaints action of alumni and guests from other colleges and high schools was given faily frequently as a problem causing concef-n to college officials stated the report discourtesy to chaperon seemed to be a fairly common complaint the report on the requirement of chaperons at dances makes a brave showing and probably there is some useful purpose served by having older people at student functions however when one remembers the ease with which couples leave the dance hall the handiness of auto mobiles and its power of quick transportation and seclusion one cannot but wonder whether or not the chaperone is a figurehead bethlehem pa tuesday january 13 1931 vol xxxiii no 28 brown and white map 66 years old given to library
