Munroe, Phillip H. Marvel, of Map
lewood, N. j., and w. Lyle Mowlds
of Dover. In his address, DR.. Mum
roe pointed out that the University
of Delaware and its predecessor
institutions have "a long and color
ful tradition, extending back to
the founding of Newark Academy
by the Rev. Francis Alison in
1743. Describing Alison as "the
greatest classical scholar of Amer
lea in his day., DR.. Munroe said
that his classes, conducted without
charge, had attracted an outstand-
ing group of students. The first
class graduated, consisting of 10
members, was as distinguished as
any graduated in the succeeding
200 years, the speaker declared.
He said the 10 included three sign
ers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, one member of the Constitu-
tional Convention, the secretary of
the Continental Congress, the sur
geon-general of the Army, the first
provost of the University of Penn
sylvania, United States Senator,
a governor of Pennsylvania, and
the moderator of the Presbyterian
Church. Donors to the academy in
cluded notable group geograph-
ically and politically, DR.. Munroe
said, adding that they included
King George III and DR.. Samuel
Johnson. He described student life
in the academy and its successor,
Delaware College, including the
violent death of John Edward
Roach during a student battle in
1858. The Staying occurred, he
pointed out, in a room close by the
one where the alumni were meet
ing. Incidents of the early coedu-
cation period at the college, in the
1905 and SOS, were outlined, and
in bringing his narrative down to
date, DR.. Munroe described cur
rent teaching and research goals,
with emphasis on agricultural re-
search and the academic extension
teaching program which holds
classes throughout the state. DR..
Munroe was introduced by u. S.
Senator ]. Allen Frear, another
alumnus, who was toastmaster.
Other speakers included Gov. Ell
bert N. Carvel, U. S. Rep. ]. Caleb
Boggs, William D. Murray, direc-
tor of athletics, and Richard D.
Groo, alumni secretary. Jefferson
F. Pool, president of the associa-
tion, presided. During the day and
evening, alumni also visited vari-
Gus campus buildings, including
Brown Hall dormitory, where a
continuous open house was in pro-
gress. Alumni attendance at var
sity wrestling, swimming and bas-
ketball contests were another fea-
ture of the program, as arranged
by reunion committee headed by
Edgar p. Reese of Wilmington.

PLAN TO USE
OLD COLLEGE
Temporary Use AS Student
Union, Campus Social Gen.
ter Disclosed
MID-WINTER BANQUET

Tentative plans to press the
University of Delaware's historic
Old College into temporary use as
a Student Union, the campus social
center, were disclosed by President
William S. Carlson to more than
200 alumni at the annual Mid-Win-
ter Banquet of the Alumni Asso-
citation Saturday night at Newark,
Speaking in the Commons dining
room of the 116-year-old building
Dr. Carlson said that results of the
1947 and 1948 Development Fund
campaigns had netted about 1884,
600 toward a proposed new Stu
dent Union. Describing this as in
sufficient to warrant immediate
plans for the $1,500,000 building,
as had been hoped, the university's
president stated his belief that the
necessary impetus for the new
structure would come ultimately
from student interest awakened by
the use of Old College temporarily.
The conversion plan must wait, DR..
Carlson said, upon the General As
sembly's voting requested funds
for School of Agriculture build
ing, which would relieve some or
the acute space demands on the
campus. Unless that is achieved,
he said, Old College could not be
vacated for the Student Union.
Principal speaker at the dinner
was DR.. John A. Munroe, an alum
nus who is an assistant professor
of history at the university. His
topic was Delaware Traditions. !"
Joseph M. Cherpak, of Whining
ton, representing the nominating
committee, announced candidates
for election as 1949-50 officers of
the association. They are headed
by Victor II. Jones of Philadel-
phia, the present vice-president,
who will be unopposed for presi-
dent. The three candidates for
vice-president, the chief office
which is being contested, are DR..

Goren on Bridge

That the place for the ace is on
the king is doctrine that we have
attempted to hammer home on
numerous occasions. 1t is certain
that retention of an ace for an
additional moment or two does not
increase its trick-taking power and
the burden Is always on him who
refuses a trick to show good reason
for his unseemly behavior.
But even to such a broad PROPOSE
ton as this there are exceptions.
When by refusing to win trick you
find that you can gain one, your
course of action must become clear.
West in today's hand had perhaps
been too well taught, because he
applied the rule in all its strictness,
pouncing vigorously upon the king
with his ace without pausing to view
the situation as whole.
South became declarer in today's
hand at a game contract in hearts.
Some players may question his jump
bid of three hearts on the first
round. They will argue that mere
bid of two hearts would be forcing
and the jump unnecessarily con-
surnes bidding space. I, for one,
am with South. In this type of hand
considerations of bidding space in
the early rounds are not very i'm
portant. South knows where he
wants the hand played and if he
bids only two hearts he will be
obliged to make powerful bid
later on for the purpose of exploring
slam possibilities. This may in
volve his going above the game level
to investigate, state of affairs to
be avoided wherever possible.
West opened the four of spades
and east won the trick with the
jack. He continued with the ace
and then the three of spades and
South trumped with the king. Per-
haps the ten would not have tempted
: him, but the king was just about as
big fish as West could hope to
catch, so he took the trick. Declarer
obtained the lead on the next round
and drew the rest Of Vests tr,mps,
claiming the balance Of the tricks.
While, generally speaking, kings
should be taken by aces, neverthe-
less when one is able to see the
defeat of the contract, rules of all
types should be thrown into the
heap. BY merely taking discard
on the third trick, West is absolutely
sure to take two trump tricks even
II declarer has all the honors, since
the nine of hearts must become
promoted to a winner. When the
defeat of the contract is visible in
your own hand, why pay attention
to rules provided by mere bridge
writers?

We'll start our party this very
minute" she declared. Santa, do
poke up the fire and put your slip
pers on, too. Mr.. Dilly, find seats
for every one. Henry, bring me
sugar and cinnamon for toast"
In q moment the little cottage
was bursting with activity. What
an odd sight it all was: Mrs. Claus
with her hair still wrapped in paper
curriers', Santa in his red pajamas
and slippers and the seven witches
strewn about the room like long
legged dolls suddenly come to life.
Are you really the witches who
fly on Halloween night?" asked
Henry when he had overcome his
fear.
Indeed we are" said a witch.
Are you one of the boys who throws
stones at us and locks the door
against us?"
Now Henry had thrown stones at
Halloween witches but how could he
ever have known they were nice like
this?
IF only you weren't so uglyl" he
blurted. Then boys would not be
so afraid Of you"
ut is a good thing for you to
learn" said a witch, that the
ugliest creatures are very often the
kindest." And she drank her smok-
ing cocoa down in one great swallow.
Other Guests Came.
What a wonderful night it was!
At dawn other guests arrived for
the party. BY o'clock every one
had come. There were three men
in a tub, Simple Simon carrying an
extra load of pies, Little Boy Blue
holding Miss Muffett's hand, Tom
Thumb, Cinderella, Yankee Doodle.
Father Time, the Gingerbread Man,
Jack Frost and many many others.
The Santa Land workers raced
from the shops and started games
and dances and songs. Mrs. Claus
set out bowl after bowl and platter
after platter heaped with butter
scotch rolls, ham with eggs, pam
cakes, waff1es and sausage.
Santa and the Easter Rabbit
talked about children they knew
which were good and which were
bad and which were only middling.
Mr.. Dilly found a quiet corner and
discussed magic with the Wizard
of OF. Henry went of for snow
ball fight with Pinocchio. Serena
played checkers with Red Riding
Hoods wolf.
But alas! All this pleasure could
not last. Suddenly the terrible blue
nosed, saucer-eared Wiggle Waggles
burst into Santa Land.
The Santa Land folk and their
guests quivered with fear.
But Santa was undisturbed. "11l
get my magic wand" he said,
And we'll soon be rid of them.
