New Members Added To Econ Club Cabinet
Appointment of new members to the cabinet of the Economics club
initiated the organization's activities for the year. A program of
bi-monthly meetings is being planned. Frank Parker was elected president
of the group last spring, and other members of the cabinet include Sabin
Arnquist, Alice Liedloff, Milton Minkin, George Rossman, Don Selby,
Juanita Von Nyvenheim and Elmer Wood. Dr. Karl H. Niebyl, assistant
professor of economics, is adviser to the group. Central theme of the
meetings this year will be finance. Several authorities in this field
are being contacted to discuss such problems as foreign trade
agreements, railroads, budget balancing, inflation, public works, the
Mexican situation, international monetary stability and Canadian
problems.

Hirschfeld Takes Office As Senior Court Judge
Landaal, Kypke, Parker Prosecute, Punish Offenders
Henry Hirschfeld has been appointed judge of the Senior Court for this
year by a Men's League committee. Henry Landaal is the Sergeant at
Arms, and Rod Kypke and Frank Parker are prosecuting attorney and
assistant. The first court session will be held October 27, the last
Thursday of this month at 10:00 p.m. In Willis little theatre, and
thereafter it will convene once a month as regularly as possible.
Complaint Rules. The court policy, according to Henry Hirschfeld, is
to be one of correction, not hazing, and all trials will be fair. "Our
main purpose is to maintain college traditions," he said. According to
athe college catalogue, the senior court is "in charge of minor offenses
not falling within the college regulations, and of sponsoring student
traditions." If the defendant pleads not guilty, his proctor appears as
the attorney for the defense. The usual sentence is a prescribed number
of the proverbial swats, not to exceed 15. The convicted may, however,
be put on probation at his own request. He is then under strict
observation, and must stay in nights.

Hockey Players Are Good Skates . . .
Hockey is comparatively new as an intercollegiate sport at Carleton
but it is gaining steadily in impetus. It began about five years ago
when John Allen managed to get the school to construct a small rink down
by the stadium. It was more or less of a laughing matter then. Since
then the puckmen have taken plenty of drubbings, but they have won some
too. Now they are showing up well against some of the better teams. Last
week-end the squad took the first real trip known to the sport at
Carleton. The entire squad made the 460-mile journey to Michigan Tech
where they played a two-game series. They lost the first one on Monday
7-0 and the Tuesday encounter 5-2. But they lost to a team noted for
its hockey, with men who have been on skates since they were big enough
to wear a pair of them. It was the third time the Carls have met up with
the Tech men. Last year they took us by the decisive score of 11-0,
but every succeeding game has seen a closer score. The two teams meet
again on the Bald Spot rink on January 26. The two Carl tallies were
made by Captain Rod Kypke and Frank Parker.

Marginal Release
The Missouri Valley Conference to which Grinnell belongs doesn't look
so big now. Grinnell held Creighton to 12-0, but Carleton should have
licked the scarlet and black by six touchdowns. The Carls missed a half
a dozen scoring chances. It does no good to hash them over now. The
boys will be naturally more keyed up Saturday against St. Olaf, and
should be able to push the ball over when they have a chance. Coach
Gibson used every man in the Grinnell game. It was good to see Frank
Parker and Ken Kalina play, a couple of loyal, hard-working and talented
halfbacks, who drove all the way down by car to make the squad look a
little larger. Traveling by train, there is only so much room and a
Coach can't always take every good man whom he would like to use.

ROADtrip
... Here Coach Diebold chose Frank "Keglined" Parker for a roommate.
Next morning the Carl mentor admitted that even a coach could make an
error, for it seems that our pudgy friend upon entering the room had
thrown the window wide open, had then crawled into bed, and with a
technique all his own adroitly snatched not only his own covers but also
those of the peacefully (?) slumbering Diebold. ...

Frank Parker Will Lead First Forum Of Econ Club
The Economics club is going to present the first of its new "Student
forum" groups tomorrow night from 7:00 to 8:15 in Great hall. Frank
Parker, '39, is to be in charge of the forum which will center the
discussion around the topic "The Economics of the Agricultural
Situation." Chairman Jesse Burkhead promised a goodly array of fireworks
for this meeting inasmuch as Secretary Wallace and his highly
controversial propositions of the last few months are to be open to
student analysis. This form of meeting, by "forum," has proved popular
on other campuses in the East.
