BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1939 Dr. Schacher to speak on Czech erisis Thursday night Noted Prague journalist, author on lecture course "I Saw the Czech Crisis in Prague," will be Dr. Gerard Schacher's subject when he lec-tures at Presser hall on Thurs-day, Feb. 9 at 8:30 p.m. Since his arrival in America last month, he has broadcast twice on National Network from New York City and following his ap-pearance at Syracuse university three weeks ago, he was widely quoted in the newspapers. Dr. Schacher, the eminent Prague journalist and the Lon-don correspondent for The News Chronicle, The Economist, The Financial News, and Man-chester Guardian Commercial is the noted author of "Germany Pushes South-East," published in England, which has been a European best-seller. Emphasizes Economic Aspect In his books, as well as by his articles in prominent British and American journals, he writes on Central European problems, pointing out their great import-ance in international relations, emphasizing that they have so often provided the spark ignit-ing a greater conflagration. Having long observed Ger-many's insidious influence pene-trating the countries of South- Eastern Europe, and having a first-hand and intimate know-ledge of the means and methods she uses to gain her influence, there could be no one better qualified to put a clear picture of the Central European situa-tion before the American public. Nazism is Menace Dr. Schacher's startling state-ments and predictions bearing the stlamp of truth and sound reasoning will grip and thrill his audiences. They are warn-ings, brilliantly delivered by a man who is a specialist in his subject, of the menace of Nazism not only to Central Europe, but to the peace of the entire world. Holding degrees of Doctor of Law and DoctOr of Economics from German universities, Dr. Schacher is a splendid speaker and handles the English lan-guage perfectly. His recent lec-ture tour through England was a great success. He addressed The House of Commons, The Royal Institute of National Af-fairs, The New Commonwealth Institute, The Liberal Council, and many other important groups. Former Argus editor on newspaper staff Miss Charlotte FitzHenry, who was editor of the ARGUS in 1937-38, has recently become a reporter on the staff of the Daily Pantagraph. Dr. Gerhard Schacher Changes in faculty made Due to the departure of Miss Melba Johnson, several changes have been made in the Wesleyan faculty this semester. In the liberal arts depart-ment Coach Harry Bell has tak-en over stage craft ,and make up classes formerly taught by Miss Johnson, who has gone to North-western university to continue her studies in dramatics. Coach Bell has also added journalism writing to the curri-culum. Miss Ethel Gunn is re-placing Miss Johnson in the speech department. In the School of Music Walter J. Freedman of Chicago is in the instrumental department re-placing Donald Sandifer. -- MAY I INTRODUCE. .. He, They, It. He is Kenney Layne, better known in North Main circles as Kenney Lither-land; they boys are all real swing-cats that can cut a rug and groove a platter with the best of them; it is the band that is gaining a reputation for being out of the world when they blow hot. Well, what I'm trying to say is that for the next dance at Memorial Gym on February 17 you'll be swing-ing to straight jive from Ken-ney Layne and his orchestra. Kenney was telling me about the band the other day. It seems that he plays piano and keeps the outfit rolling without friction. Aside from that he says the credit all goes to his men, Perhaps first in his esti-mation is "Chuck" Loomis. Chucky is that trumpeter from Ken Gore's band that used to play on the roof-garden of the Hotel Peabody in Memphis, Tenn. You've never heard jam until you've heard him send those hot licks. Sitting beside Chuck is Byron Baxter, 1st trumpeter, who can really get off gutbucket rides. Seated next to "Bax" is Bill Book, a mighty fine slush-pump man. 4 Playing the three foghorns are Morrie Johnson, Bob Smith, and Al Ameday. Morrie is Ist sax man and was with Chuck down south in the Hotel Pea-body orchestra. Bob plays tenor sax-come and listen to him give out on Rigamarole.- Al is holding down the 3rd sax chair and doing a swell job of it. He used to play at the Inglaterra in Peoria. ,Back on the suitcases is Chuck Bishoff. He is one of the best drummers in town and you really can't afford to miss his drum solo in -White Heat-Gene Krupa the second is what they've begun to call him. Oladerdonk presents rfleture by ann tilton I listened to Kenney and his boys the other night and they made an amateur alligator out of me. First, they got warmed up with Loomnis holding the spotlight with Clyde McCoy's Suga Blues up. Then they settled back to some mighty fine sweet music with Miss Anita Rahn singing Deep in a Dream. They took down their hair on the next number which was White Heat. Honestly, you've never heard such torrid swing. And finally they gave that uni-versal favorite, Stardust. I'm really hard to please but there's nothing better than Kenney and his lads doing this sad tune of Hoagy Carmichaels. It seems I've rambled on and on about your next maestro and his great band, but I'm sure you'll agree after you've heard them that their slogan of "Nuff Said" is an apt one. diers went off as if to a great game, and how, often, they were not even buried. Don't Sell Munitions Dr. Onderdonk begged all stu-dents to sign petitions after Chapel, asking that the United States refrain from selling war implements and munitions to other countries, particularly the aggressor nations. According to Dr. Onderdonk, our only hope of ever achieving peace lies in the League of Na-tions. but it can only be brought about by the .full cooperation of all nations, particularly the United States. VOL. 45 ILLINOIS WESLEYA UNIVERST L-134 NO. 16 Many new students come as others are re-enrolled The new semester has brought many new faces to the Wesleyan campus, as well as showing a loss of some of last semester's students. According to the latest reports 29 students are enrolled for the new semester at Wesley-an who were not here at the first of the school year. Those who have previously at-tended Wesleyan and who have re-enrolled are: Betty Barnes, Minier; John 'Christian, Peoria; Dorothy Hatfield, Bloomington; Robert Kaiser, Braidwood; Mar-garet Lantz, Congerville; John Lenz, Peoria; William Mammen, Bloomington; John Pilkis, Cic-ero; Mary Ann Roozen, Nor-mal; Byron Smith, Flora; Rus-sell Tambling, Dwight; Frances Turley, Clinton; and Ed Woz-niak, Chicago. Many New Freshmen Freshmen who have enrolled are: Harry Ahlers, Mt. Vernon, N. Y.; Joseph Alfone, New Ha-ven, Conn.; Leo Benson, Lincoln, Neb.; William Blumberg, Collins-ville; Lewellyn James, Blooming-ton; Florence John, Galesburg; Elenore Lane, Chicago; Robert Nemetz, Marshalltown, Ia.; Mrs. Catherine Pearson, Taylorville; Joseph Spring, Chicago; Richard Woehr, Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Ralph Zeitz, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Several Transfers Others who have transferred to Wesleyan are: Lee Adel Jeff-ries, Lexington, from Northwes-tern; Raymond McGrath, Joliet, from Joliet Jr. college; Donald Olson, Chicago, from Wilson Jr. college, and Gale Roberts,-Illi-oplis, from University of Illinois. Diasia postponed The Diasia Hop, a dance for all campus women, has been postponed until April 14. Horrible atrocities are displayed with March of Time Severed arms and legs, seared skin, broken and crushed bodies, homes in flames and children starving-these were sights that made Wesleyan students shud-der when Dr. Francis S. Onder-donk brought his movies of the Chinese war to Chapel yester-day. Part of the films were talkies and for the others Dr. Onderdonk supplied a running commentary of explanation. Unbelievable 'atrocities were shown, along with a great many shots of the bombing of civilians particularly in Shanghai. But, said Dr. Onderdonk, "We may hate militarism, or hate the mil-itary dictators of Japan, but we -must not hate the Japanese people." Torture Chinese Prisoners Dr. Onderdonk told of cruel tortures to captured Chinese by the victorius Japanese; of pris-oners tied up and used for bay-onet practise; of people tied and dumped into ponds to drown; and of large groups of 40 or 50 people tied together and set fire. Several who managed to recover from this last ordeal were shown, with most of their arms and legs burned away. Besides Chinese pictures, Dr. Onderdonk showed a last year's March of Time reel of the League of Nations, endeavoring to show that although the League has made many mis-takes, it has done a great deal of good, particularly' in sup-pressing opium trade, disease, and slavery. Why the League Failed According to this film, one of the reasons why the League of Nations has not succeeded so well is because of the indiffer-ence of the United States and her refusal to join because of fear of "entangling alliances." Another reel brought out the whole futility and absurdity of the World war, showing how it came about and how the sol- -- - I Dr. Francis S.
