Catawba Wins Conference Diamond Title Eton’s Two Losses Gain Indian Victory i ■ —— Difference O f.023 Points In Final Standing When the Lenoir-Rhyne Moun tain Bears defeated the Flon Christians, for the second consecu tive day recently, they sent the Christians below the Indians in the North State conference percentage. According to compiled unofficial figures, Catawba won 12 confer ence games and lost four to give the Redskins a standing of .710 in the conference, while the Christ ians, playing less games than Ca tawba, won eight and lost three to give Elon a percentage of .727. These figures give Catawba the 1936 conference baseball bunting despite the fact that Elon defeated Catawba in both of the two games scheduled between the teams this season. The Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, who ended the season in third place in the conference, was directly re sponsible for dethroning the de fending champs, the Christians, as Lenoir-Rhyne handed Elon the three losses that the team suffered. These three Bear victories elevated the Indians to first place despite the fact that Catawba closed its season on last Thurday with a loss to the Elon nine. The dangerous Lenoir-Rhyne Bears did not fare so well against | Catawba as they did against Elonj for the Indians made a clean sweep; of the four games played with the ' Bears. Of Catawba’s four losses for the season, two were administered by Elon, one by High Point, and the : fourth by the Guilford Quakers.! Catawba played a total of 19 col-1] lege teams during the season, both conference foes and snton-confer-! ence and won a total of 14 out of the 19 games. "Van” Vaniewsky, senior right! hander, made the best showing of! the strong Indian staff for the1 season against college opponents as he won four and lost none. "'Lil Abner” Robinson,, gigantic: soph, portsider, came second with! four wins and one loss. "Bob” Hampton, smillig soph left-hand er., came third with four wins against three losses. Incidentally Bob lost two of these games by very slight margins.) Mark Fuller, another sophomiore hurlter, came next with two wins against two defeats. Various Classes Elect Officers For Next Year - j At class meetings last week, thei election of new officers were held. The class of ’37 elected Eddie Gehring as their president. Eddie has been active in school affairs for the past three years and he is very capable of filling the office to which he has been chosen. Other officers elected by the new-coming Seniors aiie Paul Calcjwell, vice president; Dorothy Hupper, secre tary; William Gerhardt, treasurer. E. K. Whitner will lead the class of ’3 8 assisted by Lloyd Witmer, vice-president; Caroline Groff, secretary; Edith Smith, treasurer. The officers of the present fresh men class will be Samuel Pritchard, president; John Lundholm. vice president, Polly Stonebreaker, secre tary; Vincent Haag, treasurer. With such a fine list of students as leaders, we are assured of an ac tive and successful year. Time’s wheels turn, and another year rolls around, another Senior class prepares to leave the Alma Mater. Often as is this occur rence, it is never without mingled feelings of joy and sadiness. that those left behind watch the Senior class go. Especially, to the Jun iors, the “incoming Seniors,” is this feeling strong. The graduating class is still clearly remembered by them, in mixed feelings, from their administrations to the baby class in “Frosh-Soph” days. Old enmi ties of those days have of courst long ago been forgotten, and in their places are sincere regards foi the examples and leadership trails that were blazed by the now-leav ing Seniors. Faculty Plans For This Summer Vary Greatly "What do you plan to do this summer?” This is a question which has been circulating around the campus. Mr. A. Rich is go ing to Florida for two weeks, and then he plans to go North and study in New York. Dr. A. K. Faust will teach one term of sum mer school. He may go North to Main and visit a brother. Dr. Jenkins has decided that instead of hibernating this summer, he will visit New York city and study in Vassar library. Both Dr. Rice and Dr. D. E. Faust plan to teach the first session of summer school and then go North. "Where shall we spend the sum mer?” asked Mrs. Cleaver to Mr. Cleaver. "Oh, I thing it will be Alaska this year.” When Mr. Whitener and Miss Anderson were asked this ques tion, the response was, "work, as usual.” Mr. Whitener will at tend a meeting of the general synod of the Evangelical and Re formed church at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the 10th of June. Miss Lantz will be away from the college off and on during the summer, but she has no definite plans as yet. Mrs. Kline will leave the JNorth Carolina heat behind her and find refuge in her New Hampshire home, where the mosquitoes don’t bite (as hard) and the sun doesn’t scorch one. Professor Dearborn will go to his "home, sweet home,” in Ne braska and there renew all his acquaintances and catch up with all that has happened during his long absence. Professor Mary Omake will re turn to Camp Accomac, which is located somewhere amortg the mountains in Maine. Miss Omake is a counseler there and supervises the instruction of Hockey and various other sports. Stadium Plans Begin To Take Definite Shape Before the arrival next fall of both new and old students, out standing improvements and chang es will have taken place in the ap pearance of the campus. The erection o£ two new faculty homes and a new football grand stand are the most important con struction projects which have taken place in several years. Plans are being drawn up by Charles E. Knott, of Durham, N.j C., for the construction of two faculty homes on the south side of Summit Avenue and West In nes street, opposite the Newton Apartment and the home of Dr. Allen K. Faust. These homes will be occupied by Dr. Raymond Jen kins and Dr. David E. Faust. Thev will be one and a half story build ings; each will contain seven rooms and be equipped with all modern conveniences. Because of the re moval of these faculty members from the Newton Apartment, the second floor of that building will be used as a girls' dormitory. The new football stand will be of the most modern type both in style and equipment. Measuring 245 feet in length, it will easily accommodate 2000 people on its thirteen tiers of seats. Each tier will be ten inches higher than the one in front so that every specta tor may have a clear view of the entire playing field. Surrounding the football field yet will within the stadium is to be constructed a full quarter mile track. To avoid crowding and waiting to secure admittance there will be three rear entrances to the stand; one at each end and one in the middle of the stand, with a ticket office at each entrance. In front of the stand there will be a board walk. A covered press box will provide a needed accommodation for news paper representatives. On that portion of the track before the stand there is to be erected a plat form for the use of the band. Flag The Naturalist’s Column (By Frazer G. Poole) BIRDS AND THEIR PLUMAGE PART II In speaking of the plumage of birds we mentioned in part I that feathers serve in many cases as a means of sexual attraction. This is not, perhaps, their most impor tant function but it is, from many standpoints, the most inter esting. The feathers of birds are modi fied to serve sexually in various ways, eg., (1) Feathers may serve for sexual attraction merely by their color (Cardinals, Bluebirds, Tanagers. and others); (2) Fea thers may be modified into special organs of attraction (Peacocks, Birds of Paradise, and Created Screamers); (3) Feathers may serve to attract by being modified for sound (Ruffed Grouse, and English Drumming Snipe.) The observant and thoughtful reader will doubtless question statement No. (1) immediately and so let us discuss it in detail. Darwin in his "Origin of the Species" says in regard to natural selection: “f cannot enter here on the necessary details; but if man can in a short time give beauty and an elegant carriage to his bantams, according to his stand ards of beauty, I can see no good reason to doubt that female birds, by selecting during thousands of generations, the most melodius or beautiful males, according to their standard of beautyy might produce i marked effect.” Apparently Dar win is here giving to the females of the avian world the ability and esthetic sense necessary to chocs? those males possessing the most brilliantly colored plumage. That perhaps offers the simp! - est explanation for the fact that among North American birds— where there is a differentiation of color among the sexes—the male' are almost invariably brighter. In fact the only exceptions that come to my mind off-hand consist of two or three species of the Phala rope family. This explanation, nowevei, is upen iu a goou ueai oi criticism, and not without reason. If this explanation is true it would certainly place at a disadvantage those birds that breed before the males have attained fully adult plumage, eg., the Redstarts and Orioles. Again one wonders just what course this theory of sexual selection would follow in those cases where neither sex is brighter, or where neither is possessed of particular characteristics that could be used in attracting the opposite sex. The above discussion is not intended to be deep or conclusive. Rather it merely scratches the surface. There has, as yet, been no theory advanced that success fully accounts for the difference in plumage of the sexes of certain species. in numDer ^z; we come to a consideration that is of somewhat less significance. In the Pea cocks, familiar to everyone, the tail is so modified that it acts as a special means of attraction. The male in his pride and conceit par ades up and down before the mate of his choice and shows his finery in the height of an elegant display. Should two males desire the same female there may ensue a fight. Pheasants go throught the same display, using the lengthened tails to attract the females. Birds of Paradise also are possessors of un usually beautiful plumage modified in the form of long tails. In the Ruffed Grouse we have a consideration of a somewhat dif ferent nature. Heie we have a modification of plumage not for display but rather for sound, lo anyone who has witnessed the poles at either end of the stand will carry the American and col lege flags. A new board fence will enclose both field and track. The new stand will be placed 45 feet back of the football play ing field; five feet in front of the stand will be the new 20 foot track, with 20 feet, therefore, be tween the track and the football field. Chains will be placed be tween the stand and track to keep people off the athletic field. Everyday Cooking Miracles BY VIRGINIA FRANCIS Director Hot point Electric Cookery Institute There’* a certain day each week Cooker heat units that you can trust and a certain number of days each them for hours and hours with your spring and fall when mops, brooms most prized dish. Complete meals and curtains rule the whole house- may be cooked in this large cooker hold. Housecleaning days, of course! without any exchange of flavors, and And aren’t those the days when meats—even the tough, inexpensive most of us want to send the off- cuts—-can be rendered tender and spring up to grandma’s and bar the tempting. Real cooking miracles doors to hungry husbands? Takes they are. And remember, the Thrift ■* **■ ' " ..in— I.iiiiimrr-rnrr--i---Tnm--nrrrm~mmnnnnrrn-1-nmnimW”!miTi I m * i>*■. -mmnv && .^ ~ ^ - •I The ability of the thrift cooker of the electric range to cook complete meals is a real boon to homemakers during house cleaning time. too much time to stop and prepare a meal—to say nothing of going into the kitchen every five minutes to see how tne stew is stewing. And that’s another thing! Why is it that stew is .-almost as synonymous with cleaning day as turkey is with Thanksgiving Day? Is it because stew is one of the least evil of the cooking evils? Whatever the case may be, we are here not to under mine cleaning day and stew, but to uplift them. The meal problem on busy clean ing days has now been solved to the whole family’s advantage. You may carry on the cleaning tasks without kitchen interruptions and still serve the family a fine dinner by prepar ing this meal in the Thrift Cooker of a modem automatic electric range. Cook* Complete Meal* The Thrift Cooker Is the large economy unit installed in the cook ing top of the electric range. Foods may be cooked in this well-insulated container without danger of burning or scorching, and without requiring a watchful eye. In fact, so well con trolled and disciplined are the Thrift Cooker is only one feature of the modern electric range. Now for the "twin image” of one of these Thrift Cooker meals. This meal consists of a combination of fresh, succulent vegetables cooked together in the bottom of the cook er while a luscious salmon loaf is cooked in the top. You’ll find it easy and quick to prepare too! Salmon Loaf With Vegetable* 1 large can salmon 2 eggs 1 cup soft bread crumbs Cauliflower 1 tablespoon chopped Carrots parsley Potatoes Pepper Turnips Few drops onion juke Beans 1 cup milk Mix together the first seven In gredients and place in a small mold. Prepare vegetables, leaving the cauli flower whole. Place 1 cup water In Thrift Cook i er with rack in place, and bring to 1 boil on High. Arrange vegetables in Thrift Cooker kettle. Place sahnon loaf on top of vegetables. Cover kettle. When steam comes from vent turn to Low. Steam 43-60 minutes The Honor System The Honor System at Catawba has undergone a determined trial Honor System under these regula during the past few years. Three years ago there was an Honor Sys tem only in name. The catalogue announced that "the Honor Sys tem prevails at Catawba College.” But it didn’t take the incoming, students more than one six-weeks period to learn that the supposed Honor System was very weak and that the Senate was miserably lax in enforcing its egulations. With : the inauguration of the Student Govenment President in 1934, the Honor System was brought to the fore and students almost unaim-1 were convicted of breaking the ously signed pledges to refiain from breaking the Honor System and to report those seen breaking it in the; final examinations that season. | | This experiment proved to be of jiittle practical value and the followj ing session saw more drastic and persistent efforts to bring about general obedience to the system. In a more practical way the fol lowing student administration ad opted regulations that the profes sors should remain in their class rooms and a Senator should also be present. After several students don a wider respect and regard foi the Honor System was noted. Every major examination period saw some students on trial for cheating and the students became almost univerally convinced that it was better not to cheat. And now with the inauguration of another Student Government President we hear again the cry for continued and better conduct under the Honor System. Rather than have obedience under fear the present student administration would urge obedience in spirit. To place spirit in the place of fear would make the Honor System almost ideal. Then, however, its influence would not only be felt in the class room and during periods of examinations but its effect would also be evident in campus life in general, in the dor mitory on the athletic field, in student assembly, everywhere there would prevail a feeling and reverence of Honor. When once this condition is realized money will stop disappearng, professors will be able to leave classrooms dur ing examinations, students govern ment can turn to other important duties, and the college will he able to publish rightfully and properly that "The Honor System prevails at Catawba College.” courtship of the male grouse no more need be said. It is a perfor mance that once witnessed is nev^r forgotten. The drumming which is a vital part of the courtship per formance is accomplished by means of the wings which repeat edly strike the air over the back Here, however, we have a combina tion of methods, for the grouse depends not only on sound but also on the display of his very prominent ruffs and crest. The feather modification necessary here to produce this sound is some what less than it is in the so-called Drumming Snipe where the plum age modification is much more noticeable and the effects although different are caused in a manner somewhat similar. For Bad Feeling Due to Constipation Get rid of constipation by taking Black-Draught as soon as you notice that bowel activity has slowed up or you begin to feel sluggish. Thou sands prefer Black-Draught for the refreshing relief it has brought them. Mrs. Ray Mullins, of Lafe, Ark., writes: "My husband and I both take Thedford’s Black-Draught and find It splendid for constipation, bilious ness, and the disagreeable, aching, tired feeling that comes from this condition.” With reference to Syrup of Black-Draught, which this mother gives her children, she says: “They like the taste and it gave such good results.” BLACK-DRAUGHT Stoolman New Editor Of 1936-37 Pioneer i Gerhardt Appointed Business Manager With the publication of this! issue, the new staff of the Pioneer begins its job of making this newspaper the vital element which it should be on the campus. The selection of the editor for the: college year 1936-37 was the re sult of a new plan under which each of the candidates for the of fice of editor was given the op portunity to prove his ability by having complete charge of one issue. The results of these test issues had a decided bearing on the selection of the new head of the paper by the faculty publica tions committee. At the recent' Pioneer banquet a straw vote was! taken from the members of the current year’s staff. Those com peting for the position of Pioneer chief were: Christopher Noss, who edited the issue of March 31; Herbert Stoolman, who edited the issue appearing on April 6; and Paul Strauch, whose issue was pub lished on April 27. Lots were drawn to determine the order of the contendent’s tryouts. The final decision of the publications com mittee was that Mr. Stoolman was to be the new editor. Herbie has1 rendered three years of excellent! service to the Pioneer, and much is! expected of him in the ensuing ^ year. The publications committee also appointed William Gerhardtj t<> the position of Business Mana ger, in recognition of the capable and valuable service which he has rendered during the past three years. Mr. Stoolman has appointed the following assistant editors: Naomi Yopp, who has been promoted from the position of managing editor, which she filled very efficiently last year; Frazer Poole, who has a .. long been one of the Pioneer’s best columnists; and Paul Staruch, whose long experience fully equips him for the job. Melva Peifly’s energetic repor torial services for three years has earned her the office of news edi tor, while Dave Schnevley will be the assistant news editor. Though he has been here only a year, Luther Hbopesable and willing assistance rendered in setting up the past year’s paper fully justifies his ap pointment as managing editor for the coming year. Eddie Gehring is retained from last year as sports editor. The girl’s sports will be covered by Annette Stonebraker, who fills the position left open by a graduate. The general reporters and typists remain practically the same. It is hoped that the in coming freshman class of 1936-37 will add much fresh and potential talent to the reportorial staff. Mr. Stoolman has stated that the policy of he new Pioneer will be to reflect the opinions and ideas of the students in the best journalistic manner possible.
