Dr. Paul Boiler Lectures On
Equality in Bellamy's Utopia
By DONNA VOSS
At Invitation to Learning Febru-
ary 5, Dr. Paul E. Boiler looked' into
“Liberty and Equality in Bellamy’s
Utopia.” His lecture was more or
less a review of Edward Bellamy’s
LOOKING BACKWARD.
Edward Bellamy, as were many
in the late 19tih century, was an ad-
vocate of a utopian world. This age
of violence and chaos brought him
to seek a peaceful solution for all
to live in.

Bellamy’s basic idea is a Utopia
with equality and liberty for all.
In order to have equality there
must be an economic balance among
all. There is to be a sort of indus-
trial army in which all serve —wom-
en and Negroes as well as white
men. On this ground all are given
equal opportunity to develop their
natural mental, physical and spirit-
ual qualities with no constraint.
At the age of 45, one retires from
die “army” with pay and with the
privilege to do as he pleases.
Bellamy feels there can be no
liberty or true freedom without equ-
ality. He realizes that man is not
born with naturally equal capabili-
ties, but he feels that, given equal
opportunities, he can develop what
he has to its fullest extent.
Bellamy defines Liberty and Free-
dom as (1) absence of external
constraints on an individual and (2)
the presence of opportunities to find
individual talents and opportunities
to use them in work and play. Mr.
Bellamy is too optimistic in his view
point. He seeks the non-stop develop-
ment of ones capabilities, but does
not realize that human nature does
not necessarily work that way.
This type of system is not con-
ducive to thinking or acting for one-
self as has been proved many times,
an example being the Jamestown
colony. When Bellamy initiated his
pta, lie did nut realize the
bureaucracy as dxists today.
Dr. Bcller suggested /that Bella-
my’s solution to the economic prob-
lem should not be taken too serious-
ly, but that Bellamy’s statement of
equality being necessary for liberty
is valid Dr. Boiler said that he felt
titat that is what the American Ne-
gro is fighting tor today.
In summary, Dr. Boiler stated that
the Utopian idea is impassable, hut
a healthy society must continually
look forward, not backward, in
order to progress. Society needs to
face reality, but must have visions-
gcals to reach, too.

Sloppy Play
Costs S. U.
By TOM VICKERS
Despite having the game’s high
scorer in Dick Shook, Southwestern’s
Pirates could muster no additional
support and succumbed to their six-
th conference defeat Wednesday
night at the hands of Texas Wes-
leyan College, 110 to 81.
Bad passes, defense and other-
wise sloppy play characterized most
of the game on the part of the Pir-
ates, with Shook the only bright spot.
Ronnie Kettler and Dave Denny
showed promise; but a lack of depth
and experience killed any hopes of
pulling the game out of the fire.
TWC’s fast break and overall team
speed merely overpowered the Pir-
ates. , ,
Southwestern led 7 to 4 early in
the game, but from there it was all
downhill, with the Pirates on the
short end of a 50 to 34 talley at half
time. Further collapse followed in
the second half as the Pirates’ weak
bench strength began to take its toll.
Southwestern: 28-25-81. Shook -10
14-34; Pollard - 5-0-10; Denny -3-2-8;
Funk 0-4-4; Dailey 2t0-4; Kettler 6-
3-15; Kelly - 0-0-0; Losak 12-4; Reed
0-0-0; Jones 1-0-2.

Pirates Suffered
75-65 Defeat
By St. Eward's.
Southwestern University went
dbwn to its fifth straight conference
defeat last Saturday at the hands of
St. Edward’s University in Austin
by the score of 75 to 65.
St. Edward’s jumped off to an ear-
ly 10 to 1 lead and threatened to
all but run the Pirates out of the
gym. The Hilltoppers opened up an
easy 36 to 23 half-time lead and sub-
stituted freely throughout the sec-
ond half. Again, superior speed and
agression by the opponents hurt the
Pirates.
Dave Denny, freshman center
from Peru, Indiana, led the Pirates
in scoring with 23 points and pulled
down 9 important rebounds. Dick
Shook, although somewhat off from
his usual game, scored 18 points.
Even in defeat the Pirates can
take heart as the entire squad will
return for next year.
_j^nthwAatem: 24-17-65. Shook 5-8-
18; Pollard - 2-2-6; Denny 10-3-23;
Funk 4-3-11; Kettler 1-1-3; Dailey 2-
0-4; Losak 0-0-0; Kelly 0-0-0; Reed
0-0-0.
Intramural Play
Begins The 10th
For Basketball j
by TOM VICKERS
. Have you noticed that the lights
in the gymnasium have been burn-
ing rather late these past few
weeks? If you have chanced by
there some evening you may have
heard the shouts, the running and
the sound of basketballs on the hard-
wood floor.
Yes, Intramural Basketball time
is here again and everyone seems
to be practicing hard in order to win
this important Intramural event
which begins next week.
Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Sig-
ma inaugurate the new season fol-
lowed by the contest between the
Independents and Pi Kappa Alpha
with Kappa Alpha having drawn a
bye. The games begin on Monday,
Feb. 10 and extend through Thurs-
day, Feb. 20. *
The first game will begin at 7:00
o’clock on the scheduled nights with
the second game following immed-
iately thereafter. The tournament is
double elimination, which means
that once a team loses two games
it is eliminated. The Intramural
Basketball Champion is that team
which emerges with one or no de-
feats on its record.
