After 17 Years
Annual Speech Contest Succumbs To New Era
War Alters Theme
For the first time during the 17 years of its organization the annual fall Campus Problem Speakers contest will be changed in theme, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, has stated, Professor Buehler organized the contest 17 years ago when he first came to the University.
Because of the present concentration on the war effort, the usual questions concerning campus problems will be changed to those concerning the students and the University in meeting the war effort. Problems and solutions to the questions will be included in the speeches.
"A premium will be placed on clear and courageous thinking concerning how students and universities may help to win the war, or build a better world after the war is passed." Professor Buehler explained.
Cash awards totaling $20 will be presented to the three winning speakers at the final contest. Dec. 16, in Fraser theater.
Participants in the tryouts must speak four minutes on some chosen topic. Eight students will be chosen from the tryouts by judges to speak eight minutes at the final contest.
"The students may choose any subject which they think colleges and universities could use in meeting the war effort. Perhaps, such subjects as students continuing in school or enlisting in the armed forces, war courses, or leadership by the colleges after the war," Professor Buehler hinted.
Three or four students from the final group may be chosen to speak to the Civic Club, and be used on the Student Speakers bureau. Professor Buehler hinted.
Miss Margaret Anderson and Pro-
fessor Buehler have asked that all students interested in trying out for this contest see them in room 5, Green hall, on or before Dec. 9.
The dates, title, and distribution of the awards for the speakers contest have been chosen. Professor Buehler announced last night (Wednesday). "Speaking for Victory" is the title. Tryouts will be held December 16, the date originally chosen for the final contest. The contest date has been changed to the night of December 21. A sum of $10 will be given for first prize. $7 for second prize, and $3 for the third prize.

Chandler Predicts A Teacher Shortage By End of Semester
An increasing demand for teachers over the already apparent shortage was predicted yesterday by H. E. Chandler of the teachers' appointment bureau.
Teachers continue to be drafted into the service of their country and continue to join the forces of war workers. Mr. Chandler also predicts that a large number of women teachers will be married during the Christmas vacation. This will increase the existing teacher shortage.
Mr. Chandler also announced three new teacher appointments. Don Pence, who received his master of arts degree from the University in 1942, has a position as supervisor of music in the city schools of Sherman, Texas. Clayton Krehbiel, who was graduated with a bachelor of music education in 1942, is teaching instrumental music in the high school at Oberlin, Kan. Mary E. McKinney, a graduate of 1921 with a master of arts degree, is now teaching English and Latin in the high school in Carey, Ohio.

self to danger; and, under the terms of the policy, the one who is injured can only recover one-fourth of his damages if he unnecessarily subjects himself to danger. The defense attorneys will try to prove that the engineer was injured when he was acting contrary to orders.
The defendant also claims that Bartholomew failed to give notice of the injury within 15 days after the accident, and failed to furnish details of the injury within 30 days. They further claim that Bartholomew, on receipt of $230 in full settlement, executed a release of liability, while the plaintiff claims that Bartholomew was mentally incompetent to execute such release. He died in a hospital for the insane; this is admitted by the defense.
Barton Is Claim Agent
Bob Barton, first year law student, will act as I. R. Chase, claim agent for the insurance company.
The jury of six will be chosen by lot among members of the freshman class, who are required to appear for filing.
The facts in this case are not imaginary, but are based upon a case actually tried in a district court in this state about 25 years ago. These practice trials have been conducted as part of the classwork of the School of Law for over 40 years. Each student, before receiving his degree, is required to have participated in one trial during his second year, without dispute or jury decision, and one in his senior year involving dispute and a jury. In former years as many as ten trials have been held during the year, but, because of the decrease in enrollment, only two trials will be held this year. The second will be held sometime next semester.

Drama Society Will Stress Radio Work
Pi Epsilon Alpha, honorary drama society, decided to stress radio work at a recent meeting called to plan the year's program. Members chose radio work, since it will not conflict with the projects of the Dramatic Workshop.
This society, or the National Collegiate Players, is comprised of speech and drama majors. Points may be gained toward membership this year by work on sound effects, as well as by backstage work.
Other plans for the coming year include the organization of a study group on drama and choral reading. No definite committees have yet been appointed.
Complete phonographic recordings are made of significant events at Hamilton College, and the resulting records are kept on file for use whenever they may be needed. One recent addition to the collection covers a special war convocation held in the chapel three days after Pearl Harbor, Commencement exercises, important lectures, special musical and dramatic events are similarly preserved.

RELIGION IS BASIS---
(continued from page one) greatest hope of humanity is that the human race can learn by its mistakes," said Dr. Palmer. The churches now are taking great part in the planning of a post-war world on the basis of just and durable peace.
"I wonder if hatred is necessary for the fighting of a war?" Dr. Palmer asked. Religion must keep love and tenderness alive in the heart of man, he said. "Hatred will lose the peace," and with just another "armistice," we shall have continued wars. He declared that the only way to deal effectively and safely with enemies is to make them our friends.
Dean Lawson. Ted Young Speak
Underlying the three-faith, hope, love—is worship, that "technique of living in tune with the peace of the infinite. These are things which I believe," Dr. Palmer concluded.
The invocation was made by Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes of the Plymouth Congregational church, after which the University a cappella choir, under Dean M. Swarthout, sang the anthem, "O Be Joyful, All Ye Lands," (Gretcheninoff).
Dean Paul B. Lawson made a comment about the importance of religion at this time, and introduced Ted Young, president of Student Christian Federation. Young explained the purpose of Religious Emphasis week to re-emphasize religion's meaning to students, and presented Dr. Palmer.
Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Harold G. Barr, of the First Christian church.

Pharmacy Club
A four-reel color film, "Globulin Modified Antitoxins" was shown the Pharmacy club Friday.
J. Allen Reese, dean of the school of Pharmacy, introduced the film by explaining that toxin is given to prevent disease. Antitoxin is given to counteract the disease once taken. The patient, of course, will have the disease but not nearly so hard.
Professor Reese said that dipteria antitoxin was the first antitoxin of any consequence to be prepared. It was discovered in 1889.
The film showed the injecting of germs into the blood stream of horses. It demonstrated extracting the blood by cutting a vein. The different preparations that the blood goes through were pictured. Tests of guinea pigs were included.
