Announcement
War and the acceleration program have played havoc with the
personnel of the Sports Department. Any Junors, Sophomores
and freshmen who are interested
in sports and in writing about
them are invited—and encouraged—to tryout for the staff.
All those wishing to work
should drop a note to Joan Hylind, '45, or come around to the
NBWS office next Tuesday night
and make known their intentions.
There is a great need for help
and a bright future is assured to
anyone coming out.

Negro Author Speaks On Poetry, Race Conditions
By MARY TESSIER
America, the land of opportunity,
is teeming with success stories of
every kind and description. There
is an endless list of men and women who have risen from obscure
beginnings to high positions and
great fame.
From bus boy in a Washington
hotel to an internationally famous
poet—apparently the same formula
with a slight twist. But It is the
man behind it that makes this
story read like the pages of a
vivid and exciting novel. The man
is Langston Hughes, Negro poet,
playwright, novelist, foreign correspondent, free lance newspaperman, and script writer.
When interviewed during a tea in
Ills honor at Sayles Hall Monday,
Mr. Hughes spoke first of ills poetry, saying it was written spontaneously and usually upon inspiration

"good thing" and a start in the
right direction. He expressed the
idea that if Jim Crow laws could
be enforced in the South, it would
be just as easy to turn this power
to good work and enforce antidiscrimination laws.
Langston Hughes published his
first, poems in 1921, a year after
his graduation from high school,
and his first book of poems appeared In 1925, That same year his
work gained national attention
through the efforts of Vachel Lindsay, who read three of Hughes'
poems at the same Washington

Although some say poetry Isn't

pointed out that he had been earn

that for most uuthors fame is

The main feature in this morning's
assembly will be a speaker; Reverend Malcolm Fisher, who will be
introduced by Marguerite Bostwick,
'45, President of Newman Club,
Father Fisher has spent several
y e a r s studying in Germany and will
speak from first-hand experience on
"Germany at the Eve of the War."
A natlve born
American, Father
Fisher went to Germany in 1937 to
study for his doctorate. At the end
of four years he received his Phd.
in Biology from the University of
Berlin. Toward the end of his stay,
he was suspected of being a spy and
was thrown into jail by the Gestapo.
Home Again
Finally released, Father Fisher
managed to get out of Germany on
a visa passport. He was one of the
passengers on the "Gripsholm" on
its first trip over carrying neutrals.

a petition was brought before Student Council this week. The petition asserted that since (1) the motion was acted upon by only 602
members of a student body of 1000,
(2) the issue was not fully understood by the majority, and (3) Student Council has all but completed
the reorganization and rewording
of the old Constitution, the motion

After a discussion of the petition

at Wednesday night's
meeting, Stu

Assembly. According to Florence
Garfall, '45, President of Student
Association, "The Council intends
to follow through the wishes of the
student body. They passed this
motion, and we as their representatives will carry it out. We leel that
the main thing is not a controversial who should revise the Student
Association Constitution, but that it
should be done as sunn as possible."
Letter Sent Out
A committee appointed by Student
Council has sent out a mimeographed letter and questionnaire
to forty colleges in an attempt to
obtain Information on the methods
and rules of student government
in other institutions. On the commlttee are Peggy Dee, '45, chairman,
and Harriet Brinkkman, '46, Ruth
Bentley, '47, and Harold Vaughan,

Love Theme
The theme is centered around

Whereupon, Serpolette arrives and
the group's attitude immediately
changes to rage because of her actions.
Henri, the Marquis of Corneville,
having been in exile since childhood, returns to his ancestral
castle, in which Gaspard had been
storing up his treasures of gold.
Gaspard, the miserly, grasping
old man wishes that his niece, Germaine marry the Bailie, who is the
principle magistrate of the district.
A young fisherman, Jean Grenicheux, having gone so far as to
invent a story about having saved
her life, is also a pretender to
Germaine's hand. In order to escape from these influences, she
takes advantage of the opportunities offered by the occasion, and
sells herself into the services of
the Marquis.
Gaspard had been trying to
frighten the peasants from the environs of the castle, and his methods introduce the ghostly element
into the plot.
Ringing Bells
The curse of the ringing bells
falls on Gaspard as lie gloats over
his gold; his mind completely
snaps. Meanwhile, Serpolette has
found papers which "seem to prove
her the long, lost Marchioness. But
Gaspard recovers just in time to
prevent the mistake from becoming
fatal. He produces further papers,
proving Germaine the rightful
heiress.
The operetta ends in the conventional style, with Germaine and
Henri singing a love duet.
