Dr. Patterson
Will Review
On Tuesday night .December 5,
Invitation to Learning will pre-
sent Dr. Patterson of the Foreign
Language Department, in a re-
view of Dr. Howard’s well-known
book, Coleridge’s Idealism. The
group will meet at 8:15 p.m. at
Dr. Howard's home which is the
little white house with the green
shutters directly across from
Snyder Hall. The public is invited
to attend.
Dr. Howard has long presented
his book to his sophomores as a
challenge, offering a free copy to
any underclassman who can read
it and understand it at the same
time. Unfortunately, it is not to
be classed as sophomore material.
However, it has been widely recog-
nized by eminent scholars through-

Mr. A. F. Ligon
Gives Facts
About Library
In a recent interview with Arvey
F. Ligon, head librarian of Cody
Memorial Library, we learned
many enlightening facts about our
library.
Mr. Ligon told us, “A superficial
observation of our books in the
reference collection in the read-
ing room, where the shelves are
open to the public, might lead one
to believe that a majority of our
books tire in out-of-date editions
and of improbable value in modern
study. A closer examination of our
reference books will show that this
is not true. Among our recent edi-
tions we have the latest Americana
and Britannica Encyclopedia of the
Social Sciences in eight volumes,
the Science of Society set in four
volumes, the Encyclopedia of Edu-
cational Research, the Dictionary
of American History in six vol-
umes, edited by James Truslow
Adams, the Dictionary of Ameri-
can Biography in twenty volumes,
the Oxford Companion to Ameri-
can Literature, the companion
volume for English Literature, and
many other works of contemporary
scholarship. Orders have been sent
to publishers for other standard
reference works.”
“As to those old volumes I first
spoke of, some of the world's
classics are in these sets. Among
these we have the complete works
of George Bancroft, the eminent
American historian. the Oxford
English Dictionary, the ultimate

In a post-Turkey Day fray
Southwestern’s Pirates tangle with
the Owls of Bice Institute Decem-
ber 2 in Houston. The game is the
final contest, for the Pirate squad
and Coach Medley and his lads are
giving their all for a victory.
Rice may find itself in for a start-
ling afternoon at the hands of the
Buccaneers.
Rice, a hot and cold team in the
Southwest Conference, has not dis-
played much of a passing attack,
depending mostly upon breaking
loose climax-runner George Walm-
sley for its scores. The Rice line
h;is been strong all season, but
weakness in their overhead defense
has caused the Owls misery at
times.
Southwestern pits against the
Owls a squad of young players,
eager for a win over the favored
opposition. Means, Francis Allen,
and veteran Robbie McDonald
start in the back field, but hustling
Cotton Landrum, Fred Brechtol,
and other should see action
aplenty.
The Pirates line, led by veterans
Bare and BLdzinski .having ac-
quired experience in the Tulsa and
Randolph Field games, should be
giving Rice backs a “hard time”
Saturday afternoon. Other starters
in the forward wall are West-
ketnper, DeW'ald, Mumme, Hand,
and I'lrey.
Shifty Robbie McDonald is cer-
tain to swivel-hp r >r a few lengthy
gains and the heady passing of
11. K. Allen will keep the Owl sec-
ondary on the alert. The Pirates
should score twice against the
Owls, and if the Owl offensive can
t>e checked the Medlymen should
chalk up a victory in the season
finale.
Sixteen S. U. Students Make
Who’s Who In American Colleges
Who’s Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col-
leges selected for the 1944-45 an-
nual publication several students
from Southwestern as members.

ricia Allen, Conrinne Alice Bethea,
Jewel Christine Borders, Morris
Harvey Bratton. Roger Melvil Bus-

Henry. Jr., Mandy Lou King. Ed-
Lillian Moerner, Dorothy Ruth
Ward Tommy McMcFarland, Alyce
Perry, Theresa Ruth Roper, Lois
Anne Schnabel, David Karl Swit-
zer, and Ian Ben Zelliek.
Those students selected by Who's |
Who Among Students must fulfill
the prerequisites of character,
scholarship, leadership in extra-
cirueular activities, and potentiali-
ties for future usefulness to busi-
ness and society. Members from
Southwestern are chosen by a sec-
ret committee which impartially
weighs each student's qualifica-

The purpose of Who’s Who

nition to deserving students who
have displayed merit and accom-
plished worthy goals, summing up
all honors, scholastic or social, that
he has attained; and to establish
an authoritative reference of
America’s leading college students.
In later years it serves as a recom-
mendation for successful students
to the business world.
Although it takes 20 years for a
mother to make a man of her boy,
another woman can make a fool
of him in twenty minutes.
