Stone Gets Professional Part

Friends call Beth Stone "Cinderella" now after her lucky break last week. Beth was given a chance to play a part in the Theatre of the Fifteen's production of "The Man Who Came To Dinner". It was more than luck however, that made her a success in her part; it was good acting. So good, in fact, that the Theatre has promised to call her in the next time they need someone. We have a potential Bernhardt in our midst. Chests of members of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, must be swelling with pride these days because the group has fulfilled its pledge to sell $1,000 worth of defense bonds and stamps. Chairman John Lowe says that the stamps were sold to students during a period of three weeks. Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatics fraternity, recently chose new members. Alan Collins, instructor of theory and cello in the School of Music, was named honorary member. Others selected for membership were Manuel Roth, Lloyd Symansky, Beth Stone, Lowell Veach and Charlotte Motter. Rushing Starts As president of Panhellenic Council, Caroline Dodd has requested that all freshmen and transfer women who want to pledge a sorority pay their rushing fee at once. Her announcement means that rushing time is here again. From now on, members of fraternities and sororities will go into huddles to plan parties that will simply "wow" the rushees. Official rush week will begin Monday.

Boy Scouts Celebrating 32 Years of Active Service

The Boy Scouts of America have adopted a keynote for their activities during 1942 inspired the recognition of the need for a strong citizenry to back up the nation's defense efforts. It is "Strong for America"! The active practice of the motto of the Boy Scouts, "Be Prepared", insures this. In order to be "Strong For America" the Boy Scouts take position that they must be strong in Leaders, Strong in Numbers, Strong in Will, Strong for the Sake of America and Strong in Skill. But while many American citizens are learning new skills as members of the present day home defense units, the Boy Scouts are cashing-in on thirty one years of emergency service experience. For three decades the Boy Scouts have not only learned most of these skills but have used them repeatedly, rendering emergency service in national and sectional catastrophes. The reason in back of the learning of these skills, such as first aid, knot-tying, signaling and such others by Boy Scouts is the motto emblazoned across the badge, "Be Prepared." This motto has always been literally interpreted by Scout leaders everywhere. Never in Scout training is it presumed that certain emergencies will not arise. Leaders train the boys with the firm belief that "Be Prepared" means be prepared for anything and that means in turn being "Strong For America". Thus it was when help was urgently needed in Ohio and Indiana in 1913 because of the Spring floods, Boy Scouts rendered first aid and assisted the regular agencies in their rescue and rehabilitation work. Every year Boy Scouts in various sections of the country render aid in local emergencies. But in 1922 the public again heard of their deeds when the Knickerbocker Theatre roof fell in Washington, D. C., and when floods in Pueblo, Colo. and San Antonio, Tex., caused widespread damage and homelessness. Motto "Be Prepared" Their services in such catastrophe added to the experience and the reputation of the Boy Scouts. In 1916 Congress granted a Federal Charter to the organization on the basis of their service record. The nation had accepted the truth of the motto, "Be Prepared." America had come to depend on the Boy Scouts. In the years following, they again and again justified this trust. In 1926, for example, they did outstanding work in the Florida hurricane and the Arkansas flood. On the heels of these stirring events came the flood disasters in 1927 in Mississippi and Vermont. In the same year St. Louis was struck by a tornado and called upon the Scouts of that area. In 1938 when they showed remarkable discipline and ability in serving hurricane-stricken New England. Throughout the country, Boy Scout service has run the gamut from train wrecks to finding lost children, as well as in major catastrophes. Service to the community and the nation is not confined to heroic labors during catastrophes. The records abound in what seems prosaic jobs performed by Boy Scouts, but which have been of inestimable value to the nation. These prosaic jobs indicate, however, that in living up to the motto "Be Prepared" the Boy Scouts are ready to render a great variety of services to their country. In 1917 and 1918 responsibility for many important nation-wide projects was given to the Boy Scouts. They demonstrated that any peace trained and organized for service was of tremendous value to the nation. 1817-18 Service Enviable Called in to sell Liberty Loan Bonds in the five Liberty Loans, the Boy Scouts placed 2,350,977 for a total value of $354,859,262. They sold $52,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps. From this they jumped to the ferreting out of sorely-needed walnut trees to use for gun stocks. They located and mapped 20,000,000 board feet of this rare wood throughout the country. Acting as special messengers for the government Boy Scouts in 1917 and 1918 distributed 30,000,000 pieces of government literature. It must be remembered that these great services rendered the country by the Boy Scouts were done by different generations of boys. It was the Scout training, the strict adherence to the motto, as well as the Scout Oath and Law, which gave each new generation of Scouts that same spirit and ability to be useful. Thus when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a "National Call to Service" in 1934, the Boy Scouts responded by collecting, in three weeks, 1,812,284 items of clothing, household furnishings, foodstuffs and supplies for distressed and needy families. Service of this and other natures found the Boy Scouts always ready. One catching with the fine record of thirty years of service, the Boy Scouts of America, at the insistence of Dr. James E. West, the Chief Scout Executive, studied it's future service possibilities in 1940. From this study grew a potent challenging program of preparedness for Scouts of almost boundless possibilities. Specifically it is the Emergency Service Corps and generally it means intense training for all Scouts in the types of service which they may be called upon to give. "Be Prepared" was to be more than ever a motto to be lived. Emergency Service Training Ample proof had been shown in the record of Scout service through years that the Scout program has within itself the training in resourcefulness and the technique which makes for skillful service in the many and varied demands that emergencies bring up. Emergencies require that abilities as are basically good Scouting, which conditions individual Scouts to meet the need of the times and to fit them to meet that need when necessary as individual Scouts or as members of a Patrol or Troop: to train Patrols in effective leadership while passing through Patrol projects; to train Patrols to co-ordinate smoothly and efficiently when working together as a Troop. The Emergency Service program was enthusiastically adopted by the Scout Troops from coast to coast. While learning new skills Scouts held themselves ready for immediate action. The Emergency Troop Plan was praised by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who said in a letter to Dr. West, ". . . at no time in its history has our country had greater need for this kind of service work and preparation." "Your plans for providing it seem admirably timed and suited to the needs of the hour and widely the scope of the regular program of training for boys of Scout age," the President wrote. "I am proud of the achievements of our Boy Scouts. The un-example record of service in distress, disaster and every type of emergency, as well as its achievements for character building and citizenship training, commands universal respect. The present emergency will afford an excellent opportunity for our Scouts to assume new responsibilities and to gain practical experience through patriotic service." The President followed this expression of faith in the Boy Scouts with the first call for service to the nation in April, 1941, when he requested the aid of the Boy Scouts as special messengers for the Treasury Department in distributing 1,600,000 posters announcing the sale of United States Defense Bonds. With a thoroughness characteristic, the Scouts placed these posters in prominent places simultaneously in every city, town and hamlet of the nation. Helped Collect Aluminum The memory of the service was still warm in the nation's heart when a second call to the Scouts was sounded for nation-wide service. Fiorello La Guardia, as Director of the Office of Citizen Defense, appealed to the Boy Scouts, among others, to come to the assistance of the nation by collecting from every home in the United States old and discarded aluminum ware for use in united defense industries. "As on so many occasions in the past," Mr. LaGuardia said, in a letter to Dr. West, "the United States Government again calls upon the Boy Scouts of America in an emergency." In effect this was a grand mobilization, as was the poster distribution effort. In quick time Patrols and Troops were organized for the work and the collection started. This mobilization presented its difficulties since many of the 48,000 Troops and Packs do not hold regular meetings during the summer. Thousands of Scouts were in camps and others were on vacation trips with their parents. Many adult leaders were busy in defense job or were away with their families. Aiding Defense Groups Despite all the handicaps, because of sound organization and previous experiences in nation-wide projects, gratifying reports came from every section of the country.

Prizefight Comedy Next "15" Play

A unique event in the American Theatre will take place Friday evening, February 20th, when the Fifteen present Lou Nova, the contender for the heavyweight championship of the world, in "Is Zat So", the prizefight comedy of all time, at their own playhouse in the Douglas Entrance, Coral Gables. Although Mr. Nova has made many public appearances outside the prize ring, February 20th will mark his debut on the legitimate stage. "Is Zat So", by James Gleason and Richard Taber, is perfectly suited to his talents. The typical American story centers around a clean-cut prizefighter and his manager who haven't had the breaks. By a stroke of luck the two men are taken into the home of a Fifth Avenue millionaire as servants. When they discover that wealthy benefactor's brother-in-law is fleecing him of the family fortune, they set out to thwart his plans. While doing so, they still have time to fall in love, one with the nurse and the other with the secretary, disrupt the whole sedate household with their ringside slang, and finally carry off the honors in a championship fistic battle. Nova of course plays "Chick" the prizefighter, and Willard Thompson, "Hap", his manager, best friend, and severest critic. Vaughn Baggerly plays the millionaire, Mary Green, his sister, and Frank Rollinger, the scheming brother-in-law. Janet Cole is the nurse and Barbara Parmley the secretary. The rest of the cast includes James Crow, Samuel Leiderman, Elizabeth Cope, Dorothy Beyer, Billy Gilbert, Cy Cohen and Hugh Miller. One of the greatest reasons for the phenomenal popularity of "Is Zat So", which ran for 618 performances on Broadway, is the fact that its highlight is an actual prizefight on the stage. Now the fight will prove more exciting than ever, for Lou Nova, originator of the cosmic punch, will be in the midst of the battle. "Is Zat So", under the direction of Hale McKeen, with settings by Edward Sheffield, will play a limited engagement at the Theatre of the Fifteen.

St. Patrick Yields to Ponce

The basketball team scored another decisive triumph in their current successful campaign on the courts as they downed a hard fighting St. Patrick quintet by a tally margin of 39-27. The meeting was held on the St. Patrick's home court Monday night of last week and was the first game of this semester. The first quarter was nip and tuck with the score tied up 6-6 at its conclusion. Ponce gained an edge in the second period as they took a substantial lead of 17-12 as the first half ended. From here on in the Cavaliers were never headed. In the last half, Ponce went "all out" and ran up 22 points in the third and fourth quarter to St. Patrick's 15. The score at the end of the third period found Ponce leading 29-27. Final score was 39-27. As far as Ponce was concerned, the last half was a barrage of field goals with Jack Daniels and Al Huguelet throwing three a piece and Bill Byrd and Bob Price each tossing in a pair of two-pointers. High scorer for Ponce was Bill Byrd, who threw a total of five field goals and two free throws. He was closely followed by Jack Daniels who also tossed in quintuplet field goals but was nil in the free throw department. Philpit was high scorer for the St. Patrick contingent with 10 points to his name.
