relations club sponsors soviet lecture by noted editor cites five year plan contest closes oct 7 in 1928 four sophomores selig son epstein spangler and wyck off made the tennis team as reg ulars all four of these men were available for three years and all four graduated last june one of them made the greatest record in the history of intercollegiate ten nis and the four of them combined with three other men to make the 1930 team much the best lehigh has had the graduation of these veterans left a hole that cannot be filled in one season and the graduation of seligson left a vacancy that never will be filled but three fine players were left in the persons of montene court engleman and snitkin and around these three this year's team must be built up to the time of the muhlen berg match the limited trials had given a very slight edge to veale tomlinson and enscoe with gar retjt whittock haff bingham and gadd still very much in the run ning veale and tomlinson have been on the substitute list for two years not quite able to break through the veterans on the list of regulars the team has beaten muhlenberg 9-0 and washington and lee 5-4 and had gettysburg badly licked when rain intervened last saturday in the first two matches engleman snitkin veale tomlinson and enscoe beat their men in good style engleman's win over wilson of washington and lee was one of the best performances that depen dable player has ever turned in the team lost all three doubles to washington and lee after the match was won with no doubles combinations left from last year and the team still undetermined doubles play simply hasn't devel oped as yet the team has a stiff schedule ahead and it will be a green team facing veteran players in most of its matches lehigh has defeated lafayette eleven successive matches and rutgers has not won a match in many years there is a defeat by swarthmore to wipe out rut gers is unusually strong this year and the other two are fairly good the lehigh team is pointing espe cially for these three matches what it can do against the crack teams of columbia princeton dartmouth and cornell remains to be seen professor knapp to address classical association group no parking signs placed on campus convention delegates will hear noted philolo gist tonight dr n m emery speaks the faculty performance of the play's the thing spring produc tion of the mustard and cheese scheduled for last evening was postponed according to charles f nassau business manager of the club it will be given at 8:15 tues day evening under the new man agements tomorrow's performance at 2 p m will be the premier showing most lehigh freshmen would not complain if they were sent out by imperious upper classment to find striped cats mexican jumping beans or green gladiolas such tasks are but part of their tradition al initiation procedure but when irving e gennet property manager of mustard and cheese was asked to secure three peaches for the forthcoming club show the play's the thing he was almost stumped the peaches as explained in a previous story in this paper are a very important fjart of the show in fact so impor tant that the show could not be put on without them as soon as gennet was told to get peaches he sent his assistants scouring the vicinity but each re turned with the same answer there were no peaches to be had hasty telephone calls to new york and philadelphia revealed that metropolitan dwellers also subsist during the spring without the fuz zy fruit gennett's freshman train ing stood him in good stead how ever he telegraphed to georgia ordering three peaches by air mail the order has been filled and if there is plane wreck francis neu wirth may yet munch on his peaches eugene g grace president of the board of trustees has been put on the spot at last he has been caught and placed between alan c dodson and walter r okeson who met the same fate nine years a^go it all goes back to the construc tion days of the alumni building in 1922-23 when it was decided to place these three men where they couldn't get away and yet every one entering the building could gaze upon their weatherbeaten faces and remember why they had been so treated up to the middle of last week the eminent steel and university man had escaped this sentence by an egotistical italian's desire 1 for publicity graduates modeled the italian foreman of the stone cutters on the building job was commissioned to model on the job and put the three lehigh graduates on the archway over the east entrance walter okeson was effigized on the north side alan dodson on the south and sup posedly eugene grace in the center of the group but somehow the cen tral head didn't seem to be true to the original as planned a close examination of the work showed it to be a likeness of the stonecutter foreman instead of the president of the board of trustees during the past nine years the mat ter remained unchanged until last week the original contractor sent a man back to the job to really put eugene grace on the spot dean's new book is college novel orators chosen for final test student life satirized in work of mcconn just published six

1791 was only a mediocre student and was forced at the age of 13 to leave school in order to support his widowed mother it was a time of depression in england and faraday after much search ob tained a position as an errand boy to a bookbinder and merchant run ning on a newspaper route before coming to work each morning his work with the book merchant in duced him to extensive reading and before long his interests turned to ward scientific experiment and re search he was enabled through the aid of his brother to attend a dozen or so lectures that were be ing given by prominent scientists in london davy employed faraday a short time later he attended a lecture by sir humphrey davy and then he decided definitely to follow the scientific profession he communicated with davy sent him his notes and greatly aroused the scientist's interest davy injured his eyesight in an explosion and hired fadaray as an aide shortly afterward faraday married and from that time on lived in com fort at hampton courts during his trips with davy during which fie acted as errand boy and valet he met ampere in paris and volta in milan his own experiments gained him honors from most of the eurqpean universities faraday died in 1864 the first of faraday's experi ments were in the field of chemis try r c smith ch e 31 acting as davy and l s millelot ch e 31 as his understudy faraday of fered a paper faraday's contri bution to the chemical science faraday's three great experiments were his research with nitrogen and chlorine compounds liquidification of gases and the distillation of benzene

metallurgy work cited faraday's experiments in metal urgy were discussed by w h wagner met e 31 and j s har rison met e 31 in a paper dis covery of the laws of electrolysis he deduced the law now

e snyder e e 31 and l r wagner e e 31 offered a pa per the laws of electromagnetic induction faraday experimented extensively with magnets and coils eventually producing the first dy namo and by reversing its action the first electric motor d l macadam eng phys 33 presented a paper entitled experi ments in light illustrating the polarization of a ray of light when passed through a magnetic medium each reading was accompanied by illustrations of the principles dis cussed and informal demonstra tions were held at the conclusion of the meeting senior suspended a senior has been suspended from the university for the current sem ester for dishonesty in bus 126 public finance russia's present economic pol icy is not to undersell the amer ican farmer or manufacturer or any other like i believe that the russians are fully aware of the fact that such a program is impossible for russia is at present in no po sition to do such a thing her pres ent need is for foreign goods and money stated bruce bliven editor of the new republic and noted journalist mr bliven spoke to the mem bers and some three hundred guests of the international relations club last evening in the packard audi torium using as his subject the challenge of soviet russia to am erican civilization in other words russia must to sell her exports for the highest price she can get and to do this to sell the products of the russian farm at any price is to cause a terrible suffering among the rus sian people so great is the need for the necessities of life russia's aim is not to dump her goods upon the world market but to build up a foreign trade in order to increase the prosperity of the country by this means she hopes to raise the standard of living to the level of say the american standard i be lieve that she can do this and per haps go beyond this point mr blevin said depression cited there are two factors with re gard to the present depression in america as compared with the sit uation in russia which i think are not apparent to the average amer ican first this depression differs from several others i have known in that there seems to a deeper un dercurrent of apprehension as to the outcome which is so clearly in ternational russia is the only country which does not feel this otherwise worldwide setback sec ondly the people of america at least have lost confidence to some degree in our actual economic or ganization — in the economic organ ization which the american has his silk shirt his ford car and his amusement park excursions we all wonder why in this country people starve when there is an ex cess of food mr bliven further went on to say that there is a great psycholo gical aspect to starvation in rus sia people only starve because of a lack of food but in america hat red and bitterness are bred when people starve while food advertise ments stare at them from every magazine and bill board in the country five year plan discussed mr bliven would not venture to prophesy as to the outcome of the five year plan he pointed out that the russians are attempting the greatest thing ever tried by man and that even if the five year plan did fail to come up to expectations statistically they would be very much better off than before if they succeed he said the present five year plan may be considered as part of another five year plan which will embrace greater expansion so far as success is concerned russia's records show that at the present rate the original five year plan will be nearly completed in four years time one great thought existing in the american civilization is that the russians under the influence of the soviet government are partic ularly merciless and are ferocious ly ruthless and bloodthirsty ac cording to mr bliven's statements praises russian youth mr bliven closed by making a statement concerning the attitude of the young people of russia with regard to the soviet system every one of the young people in the country persues the aims of the new plan with the utmost zeal each one of them is thoroughly convinc ed that the plan will work out they are convinced that their economic policy is a sound one this thought is contrary to the attitude of the younger generation of america bruce bliven was born in 1889 in emmetsburg i he served for 10 years on the editorial staff of the san francisco bulletin and was formerly the director of the de partment of journalism at the uni versity of southern california since then he has written editorials for printer's ink and the new york globe at present he is the
