donald r schoen the program given by the don cossack chorus in broughal high school on friday evening was the most successful event of the entire two and a half years of the student concert-lecture series existence if the attendance is a true indica tion presenting a program of russian music which probably would not have appealed to a student audi ence because of its own merits they sang with such excellent mu sicianship with so great feeling and spirit that it was inevitable that a lehigh audience should have shown them the same re sponse that they have met with elsewhere all over the world their program opened with a group of five religious numbers all in russian which provided them ample opportunity to bring out their wide range of pitch their splendid tonal quality and their mastery of choral unity the low notes of the contra basses were unbelievably like the deep vibrations of a pipe organ and the tenors high notes at times were amazingly like those of a soprano their great volume and the almost ethereal fineness of their softest phrases provided con trast which captivated the audi ence sing of own history the first number of the second group history in song of s jar off and his don cossacks chorus by schwedoff was probably the climax of the evening and marked the transition point from the deep ly emotional numbers to the gayer and rougher selections obviously only the cossacks themselves could sing this number as it should be sung only they with poignant memories of their former mother land could sing of a group of men without a country who had suff ered much who had faced periods of hunger anxiety despair hope lessness and who had finally emerged triumphant nonsense rhyme enjoyed the purposely off-key wail of one of the basses in the nonsense rhyme my lady so delighted continued on page four favors bettering of small colleges scholastically instead of athletically talks at athletic meeting compares competition of schools to armament race in europe smaller colleges can be restored to the dignity of educational insti tutions instead of acting as man agement bureaus for crack athletic teams by competing with rivals within their own class classifying representative teams according to weight and expanding an intra mural program declared pres c c williams in his address entitled enhancing the educational val ues of athletics before the 17th annual meeting of the middle at lantic states college athletic con ference held saturday at the uni versity club in philadelphia it seems fairly clear said dr williams that the large universi ties will not be able to supply lead ership in athletics because they can no more reduce their scale of competition than can the major powers of europe scale down their armaments the large invest ment in plant and staff together with the demands on the part of alumni and constituencies will probably prevent any radical de parture toward an experimental program on the part of the large urban universities small colleges can improve on the other hand went on dr williams just as the scandi navian and other of the smaller nations can successfully adopt lim itations of armament so the small er colleges with little to lose and much to gain and subjected to less pressure from constituencies can well afford to seek an improve ment in policies through less inten sity of effort commenting on the means to be employed to secure a new leader ship in intercollegiate athletics president williams advocated a three point program first small colleges should generally compete within their own athletic class stated presi dent williams he went on to say that three bases of rating should be used in classifying the institu tions the seating capacity of the football stadium the athletic de partment budget and the under graduate enrollment as his second point dr williams stated that there should be a de velopment of the idea of having additional teams according to weight as in wrestling this would put competition on a better basis should include all students thirdly dr williams say i should like to see the relative ath letic prowess of schools determined in part by the representative or average performance of the entire student bodies supplementing the competition of the more highly de veloped teams thus every student would carry some part of the re sponsibility for the field success of his college whether coaches use ethical procedures in recruiting athletes whether alumni and other fans im properly subsidize athletes is wholly the responsibility of the sports fraternity so long as there is a lack of candor pervading ath letic circles and the cunning of circumvention is countenanced by coaching associations and so long as a coach is esteemed according to his proportion of victories regard less of his practice just so long will the lament of dishonesty in college athletics continue when coaching arrives at full maturity of professional status ethical ques tions will be wholly resolved and settled within the coaching pro fession as they are in engineering medicine and other professions kellogg chosen president twenty-four colleges from penn sylvania new jersey delaware and maryland were represented at the conference by the presidents of the institutions coaches and di rectors of athletics during the meeting nelson a kellogg director of the division of
