DemocracyIt was just last week that the
American people again exercisedtheir inalienable right to freedomof speech. The Republican con-vention in Chicago was greatlypublicized and reached many mil-lions both here and abroad. Thepeople of the public hearing theconvention by radio acclaimed orcondemned the speakers as eachsaw fit. There was no need forwhispering behind closed doors incriticism of it. We, of this nation,have the invaluable privilege tosay what we think of any itemfrom serious governmental meas-ures right down to the insignifi-eant happenings of everyday life.We, the people, made the Consti-tution; and we, the people, sup-port it. Inhabitants of foreign na-tions may have been aghast atthe seriousness of the statementsmade against the administrationby the speakers at the Chicagoconvention, but the privilege ofmaking such statements is ourlegal right.Just as democracy works
throughout this nation, so itworks here at Connecticut. Per-haps on a smaller scale, but workit does. Our rules and regulationson social matters have been putinto effect almost entirely by stu-dents. They have been created for

FREE SPEECHsame time, it can be much moredangerous than we suppose.Unavoidable accidents will hap-
pen. Even the utmost care c.annot prevent them. However, WItha little more caution on our part,we can help prevent avoidableones. Diving, swimming, and theinevitable joking that goes with atrip to the beach are a part of theday's activities, but if a little, careis exercised, that danger will beconsiderably reduced, and theday's fun can't possibly be spoiled.Not enough can be said aboutcaution; in fact usually too littleis said. For the remainder of sum-mer session keep in mind whathas happened, what can happen.A word to the wise is sufficient.

Dear Editor:There has been a great deal of
noise lately outside the door ofFreeman house from those luckybut loud late returners from datesat twelve o'clock. It seems toobad for those who are fortunateenough to have the dates to dis-turb those of us who are tryingto drown our sorrows in sleep.And if it seems annoying to uswho don't have to get up at fiveor six in the morning, it is inex-cusable for the people who havethe rooms downstairs so near thesource of the noise, and do haveto arise very early.

the good of the college commun-ity as a whole. They have notbeen made to handicap us. Thenotice on decorum read by MissBurton at the house meetings lastweek must be taken to heart byeach and every one. That noticeconcerned a serious matter, and itshould be regarded as SUCh. It istrue that certain social regula-tions have not been stated inblack and white in our studentgovernment constitution, butthese are matters that fall to thecommon sense of the student her-self. For the remainder of sum-mer session let us keep in mindthat since our democracy here oncampus has been created by thestudents, it should be upheld bythe same students.
A WarningThe drowning incident at the
beach last Saturday that was wit-nessed by so many students hereshould be a warning to everyone.It proved to those who saw itquite conclusively that there isdanger, and a great deal of it, inswimming. Life guards are on thebeach for our protection. They dotheir part. It is up to us to co-operate with them. Perhaps we'veall taken it for granted thatdrowning can't happen here orif it does, it won't happen to us.Saturday'S episode made it clearbeyond a shadow of a doubt howuntrue that idea is. A word ofwarning on this score is in order.Swimming can be safe, but at the

Last week Caught on Campusleft out one engagement, and forthat error your reporter says,"I'm sorry!" Jane Oberg, Connec-ticut '45 announced her engage-ment to Ensign Don Rodgers,USCG. Ensign Rodgers was amember of the class of '45 thatwas graduated from the CoastGuard academy this June.. , .A general complaint has been
heard echoing through the housesof late. That complaint is aboutthe over abundance of mosquitoesthat Connecticut seems to beblessed with. It was suggestedthat if we complained in printmaybe something would happen.That remains to be seen. We doknow that until now no solutionhas been found, and we're willingto bet that the sale of rubbing al-cohol in the local drug stores hasalmost doubled.

Students, Faculty Confusion Caused on Campus by Male Professor QuimbyMake C~'s Terrace Actors Now Working Under Dr. KleinParty BIg Success Everything started off as usual
the first day of classes-and thenlunch time came. The cataloguehad carried the heading of Con-necticut College for Women, andten men walked in to the diningroom. They weren't professors,they weren't fathers. Could theybe studen ts? The confusion allcame from an innocent courselisted in the catalogue as English9-10 which later carried the moredescriptive title, "Acting and Pro-duction."Dr. Klein, the instructor of the
course, had interviewed severalactors in New York to play men'sparts in our Palmer auditoriumproductions. Two of the actors,Paul Milikin and Stockman Starr
by Joan Wickersham, wens '45On Monday afternoon, July 3,
the first all-college party washeld. It was a garden party heldon the terrace between Jane Ad-dams house and Freeman house;all students and faculty were in-vited. The hostesses were MissSchaffter, Miss Burton, .and FloMurphy, head of the student bodythis summer. Miss Baratte, KatyWenk, Mrs. Storek, Anne Ordway,Miss Oakes, and Lucy Winterharter poured, and the waitresseswere Peggy Cramer, MarilynCoughlin, Connie Hopkins, JuneMoDermott, and Joan Wicker-sham.The party seemed to be a great
success. Practically all toe stu-dents and the majority of the fac-ulty and administration werethere. This was really the firstchance that the students had tomeet the members of the facultywhom they do not see daily intheir classes. As Miss Burton saidin her welcoming speech, one ofthe main advantages of a summersession such as we have here atConnecticut is the opportunity ofmeeting girls from other collegesand exchanging ideas. Cet-togeth-ers such as Monday's terrace par-ty are a wonderful chance to dojust that, and also to get to knowthe girls who live in other houses.Our academic program is speededup and many people feel thatthey do not have a chance to meetthe faculty except in class. Wehope that you .are all going to tryto attend all future student par-ties, get to know new people, andmake this year's Connecticut col-lege summer session a success.

WI-IER~TO 60by Ginny Dwyer '4.6Many of the newcomers and al-
. e so the regular C.C.-ites would un-doubtedly like to know of someof the places to go and the thingsto do in free time around Connec-ticut college and New London.One of the features, especially
since it is summertime, is OceanBeach Park. It is very easy totake the Mohegan Avenue busand just ride right out to thebeach, or take the Williams streetbus into town and transfer to anOcean Beach bus.Down at the beach, Old Sol will
furnish gobs of Vitamin D andmake a refreshing dip in thewater sound intriguing. There isa choice of water, that is, oceanor pool, and also a cafeteria,where those with an appetite maysatisfy their desires with a goodold hot dog smeared with mus-tard.

If there are those who aspire tobe another Patty Berg, there is awonderful opportunity at theNorwich Inn golf course. With abrasste, mashie, and what-not,there is a challenge to tee off andreally work up to par.However, if aspiration doesn't
lead to anything, but the desire touse some extra muscles and to bemore athletic, there are numer-ous possibilities right on campus.Bicycles are available in theGrace Smith garage and can beused any time. Then, there arethe numerous tennis courts wherebackhands can be brushed up on.Walking, too, will cover lots ofterritory-to the Arboretum,around campus, up toward Nor-wich, or downtown. Buck Lodgeis available for picnics, and whatis a summer without a picnic?One sport, however, that is abso-lutely forbidden for college stu-dents, is horseback riding becauseof the danger in the vicinity.There are many dining places
in and around New London,where the food is very good andalso there are spots to dance.The places that have been men-
tioned are only a few. You find'em, and the good word passesaround!!

had brought them hope and en-couragement to go on, in that his-toric message of June 18, 1940,broadcast from London: "We losta battle, but we have not lost thewar."The life in Paris became ex-
tremely hard for the French. TheGestapo made it almost unbear-able, yet, their sense ?~humornever left them. The splr'It of theFrench people survived.Dr. de Nouy spoke later of his
own experiences in Paris and ofhis escape from France with hislife. After his talk, he answeredseveral questions that were askedby members of the faculty andstudents who had been invited byMiss Ernst to attend the discus-sion.

of the evacuation of Paris shortlybefore its fall. He told how thou-sands of people from the occu-pied areas in the north left theirhomes behind; they passedthrough the capital on their jour-ney to the south hoping that theinvaders would be stopped, sothey would soon be able to returnto their homes. The highwaysleaving Paris were so packed, Dr.de Nouy added, that an automo-bile was seldom able to do morethan five miles an hour. Many ofthe people didn't even knowwhere they were going. Theywere completely defenseless, andyet, the Germans mercilesslybombed them at close range.Dr. de Nouy also spoke of the
acute problems created by thescarcity of food and fuel and oftheir effect on the civilian popu-lation. People lived mostly onblack bread. The ration of meatwas only a few ounces per week,and milk was almost unheard of.The little milk available was di-luted and given only to childrenunder three years of age. As a re-sult of these various dietary de-ficiencies, disease spread veryrapidly. The effects of decalcifica-tion were such that the lowerjaws of men and women wereloosening, and their nails werebecoming as flexible as hair.Black market existed there, too,but it was created by the surplusgoods that the German soldierssold at exorbitant prices.Dr. de Nouy then described the
psychological effect of the Ger-man occupation on the Frenchpeople. He said that France, afterher defeat, was like an invalidwho slowly has to come to therealization of what has happened.Her people seemed to have beenstruck by thunder and were be-wildered, but hope never leftthem.Of De Gaulle, Dr. de Nouy said
that to the French people thisleader has become the symbol ofresistance. It was his voice which
