Assembly Program
Thrills Students
A special assembly program was
presented for the students of B.S.T.
C. on January 24.
Maj or John Hanson-Lawson, who
has just recovered from wounds received in Normandy and a business
man before the war was the speaker
of the morning. He j oined the Territorial Army, which is the British" equivalent of the National Guard in
the United States after the Munich
Conference convinced him that war
was inevitable. In the Inns of Court
regiment, with other business and
professional men, he trained as an officer cadet. Then the war broke out,
the cadets of the regiments moved to
the Royal Military College at Sandhurst and six months later graduated
as officers.
He went to France in May, 1940,
assigned to the First (and at that
time the only) Armored Division, in
the ill-fated attempt to prevent the
German break-through at the Abbeville gap. After the French armistice,
the mixed army of British , Canadian,
and French, under the command of
General deGaulle, made their way to
the west coast, and Major HansonLawson returned to England from
Brest, more than two weeks after
Dunki rk.
One of the few officers in England
experienced in tank warfare at that
time, Maj or Hanson-Lawson assisted
in the formation and training of one
of the many new armored regiments
for the next three and a half years.
Two months before D-Day, he transferred from the regiment he had
trained into the renowned Sherwood
Rangers, who were just back from
spearheading the advance of the Sth
Arany from the Middle East to Tunisia.
They were first ashore again , at
H-Hour, and Maj or Hanson-Lawson
says that when they landed , he was

Women at War
"If liberal education ever had any

With all the world in a state of flux

the present significance of this struggle and to educate the men and
women who will shape the future at

"The bells of education are as important as the bugles sounding the
call for technical skill. Without the
latter the war could not be won;
without the former the victory would
be worthless."

Unity Without Uniformity
Ed . Note : Speaking on the general
topic of "American Unity without
Uniformity" President Harvey A.
Andruss addressed the college assembly on Wednesday morning,
Jan uary 10, in part as follows :
"From ti me to time we hear about
tolerance—religious tolerance, racial
tolerance, political tolerance. But in
this day of world conflict , to bo followed by world adjustment , tolerance
is not enough . The world is too small.
If we tolerate a person , we put up
with him or allow him to do certain
things or we may merely permit him
to ex ist . To abide, allow, end u re , or

and finally world peace . We must go
beyond tolerance to a stage of sympathetic understanding and finall y
cooperation. We must understand
those who differ f rom us in religion ,
r ace , or politics.

National & RevieW
With the season nearing the halfway mark, the topsy-turvey fight for National Honors still finds Iowa and Kent ucky showing the way to a host of
contenders wlio are slowly beginning to gain ground on the pacemakers. A
few of the fast starters have been shelled into obscurity, and several ot her
teams have risen to take their bow in the , spotlight . The next three
weeks will see several crucial sectional battles that may go far to decide the
championship struggle.
The Big Nine race has fin ally settled down to a four team affair as Iowa,
Ohio State, Illinois and Wisconsin have moved to the fore. Purdue has been
dropped by Minnesota and Indiana during the past week, and the Boilermakers role as a dark horse seems to have faded . Illinois bounced back
from an early season loss to Michigan to trim the Wolverines 55-37 last
Tuesday, and Friday night they proved their ability in dropping a good
Northwestern quintet 51-42. Watch the Mini. Iowa crushed Purdue 61-34,
but really ran into trouble for the first time against Michigan . The Maizo and
Blue played a controlled ball game against the Hawkeyes and barely missed
the season's most startling upset as Iowa squeezed out a 29-27 decision.
Ohio State and Wisconsin , both back on the victory trail, are currently
rated among the top ten in the nation . Ohio State stormed from 14 points
back to trip Northwestern 53-46 in last week's best Big Nine come-back.
But Kentucky pulled the rally of the week . Trailing Michigan State by
28-18 at half-time, the Wildcats threw in everything but the coach's shirt in
a second half blitz that won a 66-35 decision . That is a 48-11 count on the
last 20 minutes,- much as we hate to admit it. But the Spartans aren't up to
par this season . Kentucky 's position at the top of the National Ladder hangs
precariously, however, as their great center, Bill Zroza (165 points in 10
games) went into the Army last week.
In the East the Indians of St . Johns captured their most important game
of the season by nipping Temple 43-41 in overtime. The meteoric rise of
Army has been a high light , and when the Indians and Cadets clash the
eastern will be decided then and there . Navy also has a powerhouse, however, and may well have a say in matters before the season's end. Nor can
Temple be overlooked because of a two point loss. The Owls plastered previously undefeated Muhlenburg 58-47, and then pushed Valley Forge from
the ranks of the leaders with a 41-37 win. Eastern upset of the week was
Penn St ate 's amazing conquest of a powerful West Virginia outfit by the
rather disgracef ul score of 53-27. The Mountaineers had really been piling
up the points and were rated 6th in the east at the time of the upset . In the
Eastern League, Penn , with big Howie Dellmar showing the boys "how",
may still grab the title. Dartmouth has cracked completely, and Cornell
seems to be the biggest threat to the Quaker quintet .
Down south Duke and North Carolina are running away from the field in
the Southeastern race, while Rice and Arkansas are engaged in a bitter fight
for Southwestern honors and Texas is moving up fast . Bob Kurland continues
to pace the Oklahoma Aggies to win after win , and the battle that will be
waged on February 10 when Big Bob meets DePauls' and the Nation 's t op
scorer , George Mikan , should pack Chicago stadium to the rafters.
Mikan has poured in 264 points in 12 games to pace the DePaul Blue Demons to the number two spot in the current National ratings. DePaul is a
cinch for a tournament bid from Madison Square Garden , and definitely the
fast stepping Demons bear watching. Notre Dame has also been moving
along at a fast clip. Speaking of clips, the Irish dropped a heartbreaker to
Great Lakes 59-58 last week, bu t with the Navy team in the midst of a 15game winning streak it came as no surprise. Hamline rates as the third
most powerful midwestern independent . The papers wreaked revenge on
Valparaise 50-43 to cement their posistion.
The Pacific Coast picture is rather cloudy, due, no doubt to the distance.
From the reports of our Coast scout, U.S.C. is number one on the collegiate
list although U.CL.A . may become a challenger when Bob Waterfield returns to action. Up north it's Washington putting up a brilliant title defense
and being successful to date with the most competition coming from Oregon
University and Oregan State. Utah once again dominates the Rocky Mountain section with Arnold Ferin pacing the attack.
The fight for individual scoring "honors is also fast and furious. Close
behind Mikan on January 18 was Stan McWilliams, College of Pacific with
253, Rice's Bill Henry with 225, and Ernio Calverly of Rhode Island State
with 232, Mikan by the way, has now scored 1026 points on three season's
of collegiate competition , which is just about par for the course. Mallist of
this yenr's scoring sensations Is the 5'5" Henos of Oklahoma University.
The Sooners are pacing the Big Six and this flashy forward has been largely
responsible,
Doing a little rating of eur own, the top ten colloginte teams line up as
follows : Iowa tnkes the top spot , followed very closely by DePaul, and Kentucky minus Groza now drops to the number three spot, Ohio State and
Illinois round out the first hall, St. Johns, Oklahoma A & M, Army, (as
yot really untested) , Notre Damo, and Wisconsin round out the list . Just
outside of this circle • stand Temple, Hamline , Arkansas, Rico, Southern
California , and Navy.
That is this week's report on the National scene, It Is a whirlwind campaign in which upsets will go far to decide the- champion . in the final analysis. Wo will be back with the reshuffled ratings in a couple of weeks.
Don 't say wo didn 't warn you.

Assembly Program
Thrills Students
A special assembly program was
presented for the students of B.S.T.
C. on January 24.
Maj or John Hanson-Lawson, who
has just recovered from wounds received in Normandy and a business
man before the war was the speaker
of the morning. He j oined the Territorial Army, which is the British" equivalent of the National Guard in
the United States after the Munich
Conference convinced him that war
was inevitable. In the Inns of Court
regiment, with other business and
professional men, he trained as an officer cadet. Then the war broke out,
the cadets of the regiments moved to
the Royal Military College at Sandhurst and six months later graduated
as officers.
He went to France in May, 1940,
assigned to the First (and at that
time the only) Armored Division, in
the ill-fated attempt to prevent the
German break-through at the Abbeville gap. After the French armistice,
the mixed army of British , Canadian,
and French, under the command of
General deGaulle, made their way to
the west coast, and Major HansonLawson returned to England from
Brest, more than two weeks after
Dunki rk.
One of the few officers in England
experienced in tank warfare at that
time, Maj or Hanson-Lawson assisted
in the formation and training of one
of the many new armored regiments
for the next three and a half years.
Two months before D-Day, he transferred from the regiment he had
trained into the renowned Sherwood
Rangers, who were just back from
spearheading the advance of the Sth
Arany from the Middle East to Tunisia.
They were first ashore again , at
H-Hour, and Maj or Hanson-Lawson
says that when they landed , he was

National & RevieW
With the season nearing the halfway mark, the topsy-turvey fight for National Honors still finds Iowa and Kent ucky showing the way to a host of
contenders wlio are slowly beginning to gain ground on the pacemakers. A
few of the fast starters have been shelled into obscurity, and several ot her
teams have risen to take their bow in the , spotlight . The next three
weeks will see several crucial sectional battles that may go far to decide the
championship struggle.
The Big Nine race has fin ally settled down to a four team affair as Iowa,
Ohio State, Illinois and Wisconsin have moved to the fore. Purdue has been
dropped by Minnesota and Indiana during the past week, and the Boilermakers role as a dark horse seems to have faded . Illinois bounced back
from an early season loss to Michigan to trim the Wolverines 55-37 last
Tuesday, and Friday night they proved their ability in dropping a good
Northwestern quintet 51-42. Watch the Mini. Iowa crushed Purdue 61-34,
but really ran into trouble for the first time against Michigan . The Maizo and
Blue played a controlled ball game against the Hawkeyes and barely missed
the season's most startling upset as Iowa squeezed out a 29-27 decision.
Ohio State and Wisconsin , both back on the victory trail, are currently
rated among the top ten in the nation . Ohio State stormed from 14 points
back to trip Northwestern 53-46 in last week's best Big Nine come-back.
But Kentucky pulled the rally of the week . Trailing Michigan State by
28-18 at half-time, the Wildcats threw in everything but the coach's shirt in
a second half blitz that won a 66-35 decision . That is a 48-11 count on the
last 20 minutes,- much as we hate to admit it. But the Spartans aren't up to
par this season . Kentucky 's position at the top of the National Ladder hangs
precariously, however, as their great center, Bill Zroza (165 points in 10
games) went into the Army last week.
In the East the Indians of St . Johns captured their most important game
of the season by nipping Temple 43-41 in overtime. The meteoric rise of
Army has been a high light , and when the Indians and Cadets clash the
eastern will be decided then and there . Navy also has a powerhouse, however, and may well have a say in matters before the season's end. Nor can
Temple be overlooked because of a two point loss. The Owls plastered previously undefeated Muhlenburg 58-47, and then pushed Valley Forge from
the ranks of the leaders with a 41-37 win. Eastern upset of the week was
Penn St ate 's amazing conquest of a powerful West Virginia outfit by the
rather disgracef ul score of 53-27. The Mountaineers had really been piling
up the points and were rated 6th in the east at the time of the upset . In the
Eastern League, Penn , with big Howie Dellmar showing the boys "how",
may still grab the title. Dartmouth has cracked completely, and Cornell
seems to be the biggest threat to the Quaker quintet .
Down south Duke and North Carolina are running away from the field in
the Southeastern race, while Rice and Arkansas are engaged in a bitter fight
for Southwestern honors and Texas is moving up fast . Bob Kurland continues
to pace the Oklahoma Aggies to win after win , and the battle that will be
waged on February 10 when Big Bob meets DePauls' and the Nation 's t op
scorer , George Mikan , should pack Chicago stadium to the rafters.
Mikan has poured in 264 points in 12 games to pace the DePaul Blue Demons to the number two spot in the current National ratings. DePaul is a
cinch for a tournament bid from Madison Square Garden , and definitely the
fast stepping Demons bear watching. Notre Dame has also been moving
along at a fast clip. Speaking of clips, the Irish dropped a heartbreaker to
Great Lakes 59-58 last week, bu t with the Navy team in the midst of a 15game winning streak it came as no surprise. Hamline rates as the third
most powerful midwestern independent . The papers wreaked revenge on
Valparaise 50-43 to cement their posistion.
The Pacific Coast picture is rather cloudy, due, no doubt to the distance.
From the reports of our Coast scout, U.S.C. is number one on the collegiate
list although U.CL.A . may become a challenger when Bob Waterfield returns to action. Up north it's Washington putting up a brilliant title defense
and being successful to date with the most competition coming from Oregon
University and Oregan State. Utah once again dominates the Rocky Mountain section with Arnold Ferin pacing the attack.
The fight for individual scoring "honors is also fast and furious. Close
behind Mikan on January 18 was Stan McWilliams, College of Pacific with
253, Rice's Bill Henry with 225, and Ernio Calverly of Rhode Island State
with 232, Mikan by the way, has now scored 1026 points on three season's
of collegiate competition , which is just about par for the course. Mallist of
this yenr's scoring sensations Is the 5'5" Henos of Oklahoma University.
The Sooners are pacing the Big Six and this flashy forward has been largely
responsible,
Doing a little rating of eur own, the top ten colloginte teams line up as
follows : Iowa tnkes the top spot , followed very closely by DePaul, and Kentucky minus Groza now drops to the number three spot, Ohio State and
