sciously followed the crowd into the
hall. He took q seat in the rear OF
the auditorium and made himself
comfortable. Once in while he
found himself joining in the cheer
ing, but he was scarcely conscious
of 1t.
Jim Hendricks bounced up on the
stage and led the enthusiastic group
in a few songs. The team, every men,
ber of 1t, was cheered loudly and sin
cerely. Then hush fell over the
audience. No one seemed to know
Just what to do next.
The quiet was suddenly broken by
a clarion cry. Down with Halstead!"
The rest of the students took 1t up.
High pitched girls voices Shrieked
above the deeper voices of the men.
Like an anvil chorus rang the pop
ular phrase-"Down with the editor:
Down with Halstead."
Hendricks and Guyer, struck with
the thought that an impromptu speech
Of some kind was needed If the meet
ing was to go along smoothly, leaped
on the rostrum simultaneously. Each
courteously offered the other the floor.
Some of the students saw the humor
In the situation, and one quick-witted
chap yelled, "Oh, no; after you, my
dear Alphonse." Guyer finally con-
vinced Hendricks that he should be
the first to speak. The latter smiled
and walked to the center OF the
stage.
Fellow students" doomed Hen
bricks, I'VE are assembled here to
signify our answering loyalty to the
team and to demonstrate with cheers
and songs that the true spirit Of
Old Colburn is just as firmly i'm
bedded in our hearts as 1t was In
the hearts of our loyal predecessors.
More than that, We are here to ex-
press our absolute and unanimous dis
dain for one of our number who. on
the eve of the most critical game Of
the season, saw fit to attack the team,
the dean and the ideals and traditions
of our college" Here his speech was
interrupted with muffled cries from
various sections of the hall. Down
with Halstead." Where Is the
traitor?" Lets paddle the
rat"
Halstead, sitting in the left wing
Of the hall, could stand the abuse
no longer. He rose to his feet. He
was nervous and trembling and a
cold sweat stood out on his forehead.
Evening star., 1935-11-15

He tried to speak out, but his voice
cracked and for several seconds he
stood there unnoticed. Once the
crowd spotted him a terrific booing
went up. '"Speechi Speechl
Speech!" they cried Lets
hear what he's got to say for him.
self Aw, the hell with a speech
from him; let's toss him in the lake
!. he's all wet anyhow"
Hendricks waved his arms aloft to
silence the crowd. When his voice
could be heard above the din he ig-
nored Halstead and addressed his
question to the crowd. do you all
want to hear from our dear friend,
his nibs the editor?" he asked sar-
caStically.
Speech" roared the students, and
Hendricks beckoned Halstead to the
platform.
Trying hard to overcome his nerv-
BUSINESS and stagefright, the unpopular
editor presented a pathetic figure. ~
am not here" he said, "to defend
myself. I do not see that I have said
or done anything that needs de-
fense. Rather am I here to reafirm
my convictions that college foot ball

the dean erred in saying that the

ther. A shower of peanuts and apple

he put his hands in front Of his face
to protect his eyes. They booed and
Kissed him whenever he tried to con-
tinue with his speech, and heckled him
with cat-calls and epithetS at every
turn.
Arnold, sitting in the back of the
hall, impassively and almost disinter-
estedly until now, was moved to ac-
ton by the injustice being done. He
leaped to his feet, and without a sec
ond's thought ran down the center
aisle and jumped up on the stage.
The student body was stunned into
passivity by the suddenness Of the

mates were pulled roughly out
Il of bed and told to take squint
at the daily blurb. Students spilled
their coffee and choked on doughnuts
when their eyes lit on the eye-smash-
ing headline. They became even more
excited when they perused the printed
words.
Clear across the six-column page of
the Colburn Daily News in 1-inch
block type, ran the headline: Dean
Sutten Joins Rah Rah Boys" Under
meath this streamer, in the left-hand
corner of the paper in smaller type:
'Noted Colburn Educator Gives Pep
Talk" And in still smaller type:
Says Eleven Epitomizes Spirit of the
College"
Dean Harvey Sutten of Colburn
College completely submerged his in
tellectual identity in group of howl
ing students last night and eXhorted
them to back the team. More than
that, the noted educator stated un-
eouivocally that the foot ball team
epitomizes the hopes, the traditions
and the aspirations of Colburn and
stands for all the fine things the COL
lege stands for. The dean went on to
say: The success of the team is a
fitting index to our vitality our united
college vitality. BY supporting the
team as you are doing so wholeheart-
edly you are giving strength to the
sinews of the college and enriching
your own lives by participating in a
deserving loyalty. With your enthu-
siastic cooperation I am sure it will
have increased cause for victory"
The report of the mass meeting on
the campus ran on in critical vein
despite the fact that it was supposed
to be news report On the inside
page, where the editorials, two in num-
ber, we're to be found, there was a
scorching denunciation of foot ball
and of the deans attitude toward it.
Halstead had lost his grip on him
self. evidently. and had poured into
his editorial all the intense dislike he
had for the sport and for the in
Vulnerable trappings with which it was
decorated He expressed his concern
at the direction in which higher edu-
cation was headed when a respected
and supposedly intelligent educator
would venture to say that bunch of
athletes, a foot ball team, epitomized
the life and spirit of the college. Did
the distinguished. judges, the great
philanthropists, the famous surgeons
and the successful captains of indus
try who studied in Colburn's halls
gain their sagacity, their benevolence
and their foresight on the foot ball
field or from their books? If foot
ball were suddenly dropped from the
roster of sports here at Colburn would
the college cease to exist tomorrow, or
next year? Why then all this inane
and perennial ballyhoo? Why this
raising of furor because our team
Is going to meet Sanford next Sat-

Southwestern way. And I'm partic-
ularly curious to learn what you all
goin' to do about it."
Arnold, not wishing to create a
scene, merely remarked that he'd see
him later, and hurried back to his
seat. Hendricks, still acting as chair
man Of the gathering. started up a
song. Somehow enthusiasm was lack
ing. and the meeting soon broke up.
Even the promise that Coach McBriar
might come over to say q few words
couldn't keep the students in their
seats. They strolled of to their
quarters mumbling about that fool
Halstead, and the downright nerve of
Arnold.

CONVENTION PLANS
Liberalization of Retirement Act
One of the Goals of the
Union.

Liberalization of the retirement act
and extension of classification to field
employees are two principles for which
the National Federation of Federal
Employees will reiterate support at the
forthcoming convention. it was said
today by Luther c. Steward, the
president.
The federation favors optional re-
tirement after 80 years service. 1T the
age of go years. and broadening of
retirement benefits to cover two per-
sons-that is, to continue payments to
the survivor of a deceased annuitant.
These changes would not entail ap-
preciably larger costs. Steward says.
Field employees should be classified
both in justice to those affected and
as a measure of efficient administra-
ton, he added.
The federation convention opens in
Yellowstone on Labor day.
