ettinger as sociate professor of history said yesterday if one of the major functions of a university be the pre sentation of the best thought of all nations then it is singularly appro priate that the international rela tions club of lehigh university should present to the citizens of the lehigh valley dr friederich schonemann was berlin lecturer for three decades and more dr schonemann has been a profound student of american history life and institutions and an interpreter of the united states and germany to each other dr schonemann's work in the main has not been in the field of

ture and civilization he organized the amerika-abteilung of the eng lish uhiversity seminar at the uni versity of berlin the senior class yesterday after noon decided that a plan for found ing a fund for the erection of a new armory annex should be presented to the alumni association for its ap proval and support this plan was propounded by w p fairbanks i e 37 who stated that a surplus of about 200 from the senior class treasury would be given to the association as the ini tial donation for the armory the cost of the annex will be close to 50,000 and thus the plan is tenta tive until the support of the alumni association is granted it has long been evident that a place is needed where lehigh dances can be conveniently held and also which would supply an ade quate stage and auditorium for le high productions stated fairbanks in his talk the coliseum is un suitable for dances as it is hot and dirty has a low ceiling and has no convenient parking areas plans submitted last year plans for a new armory were drawn up last year and submitted to president c c williams they are now in the hands of a new york achitect the building of the armory was postponed last year by the alumni association for it is be lieved that a new chemistry wing and a group of dormitories were more necessary - ' i many students were of the opin ion that the amount of 200 would be so trivial in the fund that it would do no good for their cause vincent pazzetti bus 37 president of the senior class appointed r e crispen ch e 37 the chairman of a committee to pursue the pos sibility of raising more funds from within the university by means of bonds another source of further funds suggested at the meeting was the voluntary subscription of mem bers of the senior class to the fund for a period of five years cornelius approves william a cornelius executive treasurer of the alumni association voiced his approval of the suggested plan at the meeting he then intro duced g c evans president of the alumni association whose opinion it was that the plan would be support ed by the association he also urg ed the seniors to join the alumni association and to attend the dinner on alumni day pazzetti stated it is not prob able that the armory will be started before the chemistry building is completed which will be in about two years william cornelius also announced that 70,000 of the 140,000 needed for the chemistry building has been promised the university workers sought society to send 4 to conference agreement to seek a merger of the lehigh union with arcadia and to include the interfraternity coun cil as part of the student council was decided upon in principle wed nesday afternoon at a meeting of 13 campus leaders the round table conference call ed by karl jacobi president of ar cadia the student council was composed of representatives from the interfraternity council the le high union arcadia omicron delta kappa senior honorary society the senior class and the brown and white while details of the plan have yet to be formulated before final submission for approval to the three undergraduate bodies affected and dean mcconn all present agreed that a more simple form of student government designed to modify and strengthen the present system is badly needed chairman jacobi in opening the meeting stressed the point that the problem of revising arcadia's pow ers is not arcadia's alone nor is this action designed to give one organization a political grasp on student government he declared would cut overlapping under the amalgamation plan now being drawn up jacobi pointed out the interfraternity council would not lose any of its prestige or power but merely have its admin istrative functions transferred to the student council duties of the lehigh union which would be merged with arcadia would merely be transferred to the student coun cil by this procedure those pres ent agreed overlapping of admin istrative work would be eliminated there would be more interest in ar cadia and the student council would assume a more important position in student affairs the movement to revise the pres ent constitution of arcadia which has led to this parley of organiza tion officers was started two weeks ago when jacobi as president of arcadia appointed charles mccoy gardner van dyne and robert bailey to consider changes another conference meeting to consider a detailed plan of reorganization will be held within a few weeks those attending wednesday's meeting were charles mccoy gard ner van duyne and robert bailey for arcadia knox peet thomas
