Student MagazineFails to Clear UpAccountsAccording to a statement from As¬sistant Dean of Students William M,Randall, Pulse, the student magazineis now on probation. This actionwhich restricts the activities of themagazine to a considerable extent,was taken when Pulse failed to clearup its accounts to the satisfaction ofthe Dean’s Office.The terms of probation, whichwere explained in a letter to Ira S.Click, chairman of the Pulse board ofcontrol, specify that the magazinemay not carry on any of the activitiesfor which it was organized until thepublication is re-instated. This meansthat the staff cannot work on itsfirst issue, either by writing storiesor by selling advertising, nor can itsolicit new staff members.Re-instatement TermsRe-instatement will be possibleonly when and if Pulse settles its ac¬counts to the satisfaction of the deanand when the Pul.«e staff receives theapproval of the dean. However,Pulse editor Click plans to appeal toGeorge Works, Dean of Students,when Works returns to campus onSeptember 20.In discussing his action Randallexplained that on .August 10th he hadinformed Click that if Pulse did notfulfill certain financial requirementswithin the following month, he woulddefinitely take action. Since the re-(juirements were not fulfilled, the ac¬tion of the Dean’s office was “merelya matter of routine,’’ according toRandall.Length of SuspensionBattling it out with Stevens forBiggest B.MOC is the boy you’re mostfamiliar with—long and terrific DickSalzmann.

Youmay be surprised, therefore, that a Universitywhich even dropped football because it inter¬fered with that single-minded pursuit of truth,is undertaking a function apparently far re¬moved from its avowed purpose. You willread that the University has formed a DefenseCouncil, and that several courses which willtrain students to be more effective soldiershave been initiated.This seems to be a contradiction to thenoble aim of President Hutchins and the Uni¬versity administration. Certainly militarytraining is not a proper function for an insti¬tution concerned-with advance of knowledge.The contradiction, however, is only a surf¬ace one for any any University worthy of thename has another, co-ordinate, function. Inaddition to searching for truth, it must pre¬serve truth; in addition to promoting theextension of knowledge, it must save forfuture generations the knowledge already ac¬cumulated.Preparing University students so that in theunhappy eventuality of war they can renderskilled service to the democracy of the UnitedStates is a part of that second function.The greatest human truth so far discover¬ed is the truth of democracy. We, as membersof a University, should do everything we canso that truth may be saved for the nations ofthe world, now and in the future.If a fascist power should defeat the UnitedStates in war, it is certain that we should alsosuffer ideological defeat and that for manyyears to come, all men would bear the burdenof that much more important loss.If the United States is to avoid militarydefeat, it must be prepared for any militaryassault. And a very vital part of that pre¬paredness is training of skilled, highly educat¬ed young men and women for the multifoldtechnical tasks of modern war.It is urgent, therefore, that the Universityof Chicago like other universities throughoutthe country, offer such a program of training.Since the program has already been instituted> after careful thought and deliberation, andsince the services that Chicago can best ren¬der have been selected, it only rernains forstudent co-operation to make the University’sgesture an effective one.Such co-operation will not be compulsory.No student will be forced to take a course inballistics, or meteorology. But by taking partin the University’s program for defense, anystudent can perform not only a service to aparticular nation, the United States, but hecan also help to preserve the vitally importanttruth of our day, the truth of democracy.E.S.L. The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELTeaGlancing through the Freshman Week booklet, any¬one can easily see that teas are very social on campus.Everyone has teas. The Chapel Union tea of last yearwas one of the highlights of the social season. Every¬body, simply everybody, w'as there.On Wednesday next at half after something or other,the Daily Maroon, that queen among publications, willthrow wide open its forbidden doors and be hosts tofreshmen and assorted cream of the University joy-boys and aesthetes, as though they overlap.Now there are various techniques for giving teas.One is to serve tea, however, as you see, that getsfrightfully dull. Another is to serve punch which makesthem a little more terrific. The terrific teas have punchwith gold fish swimming around in it. And the reallyterrific teas have assorted liquids added to the originalcontents.But the Maroonwon’t have tea. And they can’t spare any of theirgoldfish for swimming. Who do you think put out thispaper anyhow? And the Maroon, although it is not alocal chapter of the WCTU, doesn’t believe in imbibingduring office hours.Do you know what the Maroon serves during theirteas? Yup! ATMOSPHERE. Now it’s no mouldy atmos¬phere like you’d pick up in the muck of a waterfrontdive, but it’s social and healthy atmosphere. Peoplebuzzing around saying witty things which put DorothyParker where she belongs.For instance there will be Chapel Union Head EvonVogt, known affectionately as “one gulp’’, who candrink more punch at one sitting than anyone on campus.Then you’re sure to run into the Maroon’s secretarysub-rosa, Ruth Ahlquist, who acts for you on Saturdaynight.And speaking of actresses, BWOC Betty .\nn Evans,will surely be here. Miss Evans practically never con¬sents to give dramatic readings at teas, but for theMaroon Miss Evans politely declined. The Maroon’sgot class.Then There'sthe gentleman you’re going to meet sooner or later,Paul “make mine double” Florian, the sweetheart of thestag line. Mr. Florian will do parlor tricks in the Ma¬roon’s parlor. It will certainly be very social.And BMOC Aronson, that prince of goodfellows andjoy of the Settlement, will be around amusing peoplewith gay witticisms. And that smoothest of thesmoothies, Stud “just call me Stud” Ruml will bearound to make your heart beat faster or arouse themale animal in you, depending on your sex.The girl on many Boards, including Mortar Board(boy, that’s a hot one) Blanchie (iraver will drop in andlook pretty and laugh at everybody’s jokes.Dream MenAnd then there will be that army of dream men,the Daily Maroon staff. You must meet them, everylast one of youse. And they’ll be Maroon women there,too. Such as they are. It’s awfully hard for a womanto work on the Maroon and remain unattached verylong. The Maroon just does something to you. No onecan quite figure out what exactly.So come have atmosphere Wednesday afternoonwith the Maroon. You can dunk in it, just like a do-nut.Even Vogt.. .one long gulpMailOn Thursday next which is next after Wednesdaynext, outside of the Coffee Shop will be a mail box.In this mail box, there will be no voices of the people;no letters to the editor; no “love bewilderds.” No, therewill be a receptacle for dirt.

There,if you are average, you will find listedtwo of the four Introductory Courses,a sequence in English Composition,and perhaps an elementary language ior science.Here are the answers to some ofthe question you may have.How much mu.st 1 study? Thereare some students who have beenhere seven years and -still don’t know.A safe average for the CollegeCourse is six hours a week per course.Try this until you find out whichcourses you are spending too muchtime on, which too little.Remember and rejoice in the factthat your study time is your own.You will have a list of assignmentsfor the quarter, and a dated list oftopics of lectures and discussion sec¬tions. Coordinate your studying tokeep up with these. Don’t be stag¬gered by reports of the amount ofwork you will have to do, because allyour studying is your own, done in ...very busy insidethe way you feel is most effective foryou. You have no “busy-work,” noweekly topics, no drill exercises. Ifyou feel you need a drill in a certaintopic you assign it to yourself.Should I attend the lectures anddiscussions? This depends on howbright you are and how much youwant to get out of the course. If,for example, you have had enoughbotany, or enough math, or enough medieval history to make any moreknowledge seem superfluous, by allmeans skip the lectures. Or if youhave done all the reading on a cer¬tain section of the syllabus and allis clear, relax in the Coffee Shop in¬stead of dosing in Mandel.Weekly discussions, if you’re inter¬ested in keeping up with your work,are a different matter. Even thoughyou may be sure of a point that youdon’t want to hear any more about,it always helps to talk it over. Butdon’t go to a discussion unprepared;it won’t do any good. It will dis¬courage your discussion leader as tothe average intelligence of Universi¬ty freshmen, will make the discussionunprofitable to you and boring to therest of the class.It’s a good idea in all your coursesto do the reading in advance of lec¬tures also. By lecture time you willbe well enough acquainted with thematerial to take a few notes andspend your time listening for newtheories and other variations fromthe text.What to do if I don’t understandsomething? First resort is the studi¬ous lad who lives in the next room. Ifhe fails you, ask your discussionleader, or just walk into one of thelittle offices in which IntroductoryCourse staff members hold openhouse, and ask any one of the staffmembers. They will gladly help you Kent Hall rian, and then settleinto one of thesqueaky chairs for astudy lesson.What are the bestplaces to study? TheCollege library isconvenient, if youare not distracted byseeing all yourfriends walkingabout. Harper is im¬pressive, but talk¬ative, and the quietcorners are poorlylighted. Your owndormitory room is agood idea if you cankeep people fromwalking in, but yourbest bet, if you reallywant to study, is togo to some of the more secluded li¬braries like Eckhart, Rosenwald,Graduate Education. Try Ida NoyesLounge in the early morning if youlike comfort and privacy, but thereare many such havens if you look forthem. Remember, however, that sev¬eral libraries, such as Oriental Insti¬tute, are reserved for graduate stu¬dents.How shall I take notes? This de¬pends on your handwriting and theuse to which you want to put them.If you would like to keep your notes,buy a canvas bound law notebook forabout 40 cents and take your notesin ink, lectures in the front, readingsin the back. Or if you type rapidly,! scribble them down in class and type...waiting for lectureout. If the problem is still presentat the end of the year, attend thereview discussion sections for whichthe staff voluntarily gives time.Where do I get books? All of theIntroductory Courses and some ofthe sequence courses publish syllabioutlining the year’s work. Twocourses require rental sets, which theUniversity Bookstore offers for aboutseven dollars. Economy note is thatall of these sets can easily be usedby two people, if they are congenialand conveniently located.The only library which is very use¬ful for the Introductory Course booksis the College library, on the thirdfloor of Cobb, which makes a special¬ty of them.

The University may trainI peoi)le in highly specialized work for1 which the army and navy have no! facilities or personnel. It may offerj incidental opj)ortunities to its stu-I <lents to gain some elementary mili¬tary knowledge, provided such activi¬ties do not interfere with their edu¬cation."Beyond these kinds of effort thecolleges and universities shouhl leavemilitary training to the militaryforces and devote themselves to giv¬ing their students, while they havethem, the best education they can.Military training ami education, atthe University level, do not mix.“The army and navy are much bi't-ter (i|ualifie<i to give military train¬ing than the universities, and theuniversities are much better qualifiedto give education than the army andnavy. We shall get the best resultsif each group confines itself to thefield of its special competence.IAgrees With Roosevelt“I also agree with the views ex-1 pressed by Mr. Roosevelt, who has^ said, ‘Young j)eople should be advise<l; that it is their patriotic duty to con-! tinue the normal course of their edu-' cation unless and until they are call-j ed, so that they will be well prepared1 for greatest usefulness to theircountry. They will be i)romptly noti¬fied if they are needtsl for militaryservice.’I “I go so far as to favor the i)ro-i hibition of volunteering,” Presidentj Hutchins said, “on the giound that itinterferes with a jirogram of puttingthe right man in the right place andpermits hysteria and social pressureto determine the course of manyyoung people.“On the other hand, I do not favorany exemptions from the draft forcollege and university students assuch. Each nian called should be putat that work contributing to nationaldefense for which he is best qualified.If he will be most useful to his coun¬try receiving specialize<l training ata university, he may be assigned to; work there, or his military trainingi may be deferred until his training isI complete,i Dangers to Higher LearningI! “But nothing would be worse forhigher education in this country thanto have it thought that enrollment in' a college or university is a methodof avoiding conscription.”President Hutchins also discussc<lthe University’s withdrawal from in¬tercollegiate football, to which the re¬action of the public and the alumni,he stated, was overwhelmingly favor¬able.Fiftieth AnniversaryDescribing the University’s cam¬paign in conjunction with the fiftiethanniversary celebration to build afund of twelve million dollars to carryon its work. President Hutchins said:“The University cannot solve itsproblem by reducing its expenditures.The drastic economies introduced atthe outset of the depression and con¬tinued up to now cannot go on muchlonger without irreparable damageto the institution. The figures re¬flecting not only the failure to replaceprofessors lost through death, retire-m.ent, or resignation but also the fail¬ure to promote younger members ofthe staff must be altered if the Uni¬versity is to serve the country as ithas in the past.” Daily Maroon First StepTo - Fame - MaybeSheean, Gunther, Ickes,Sills Listed Among theStaff "Greats"For many students of the Quad¬rangles, working on the Daily Ma¬roon staff has been one of the firststeps on the road to fame. We brag ofan impressive number of noted per¬sons who have at sometime been onthe staff of the paper.The Maroon reached internationalfame several years ago, when Vin¬cent Sheean’s best seller “Per.sonalHistory” appeared. In that book,Sheean related how, as a reporter forthe Maroon, he looked up to the edi¬tor “A. B.” (Arthur A. Baer) with anawed admiration. At the end of theyear he was appointed night editorifor the following year, he (al¬though, according to the Maroon’sfiles, he was day editor). But Sheeandid not return to school. Nevertheless,James Sheean, as he was then known,like many another Maroon alumnus,subsequently reached world fame as ajournalist.(iiunther Started on Mar«M»nAnother famous newspaperman whogot his start in Lexington Hall isJohn Gunther, author of “Inside Eu¬rope,” “Inside .Asia”, & c. After be¬ing literary editor of the Maroon in■ 1921-22, stepped into a reporting jobion the Chicago Daily News that wasI eventually to bring him adventure,I fame, and wealth.Few people know that the Daily Ma-! root! is descended fi’om another i)aper, the University of Chicago Weekly,which was published from October,1892, until 1902, when the Maroon I’e-placed it. A list of the persons whoworked for the Weekly reads like aminiature Who’s Who.In 1896, the staff included four as¬sociate editors who were later to be¬come nationally famous; Harvey T.Woodruff, former Chicago Tribunesports columnist; James Weber Lynn,( Continued on I’age 5 )APT. lA-5849 BLACKSTONEUnuauallr Irg. frt. lirinE room.

Hejoined the University faculty in 1904,became full professor in 1909. He hasbeen chairman of the Department ofPhysiology since 1916.High SurveysStudent OpinionReporters Get OfficeIn Mitchell TowerThe boys with the wanderlust andno home of their own, are finally tobe corralled and planted in an officein Mitchell Tower formerly occupiedby the radio department. The officeswill house reporters fom the Chicagodaily papers to keep their home sheetinformed on campus news.The office probably will also be usedfor transient journalists who are do¬ing research work at the University\ .for publication.Although the radio broadcastingstudio still remains in the Tower, theoffices of Sherman Dryer and his staffhave .noved to 58th and Ingleside inlarger quarters. Dr, Stanley High, nationally knownmagazine writer, paid the Universitya short visit last week, as part of awhirlwind tour he is making of Uni¬versities and colleges all over thecountry, in an effort to find out whatuniversity students think. His obser¬vations will soon appear in a seriesof articles in the Saturday Eveningpost.After an hour and a half of inter¬rogation on the part of High, hiseight guests turned around and wantedto know what other college peoplethink. Dr. High said that going westthere is a stronger tendency towardsisolation, and a greater adversity to“Aid the Allies;’’that campus radicalmovements are on the decline; andthat fraternities and sororities are ahindrance to adjustment on most cam¬puses.Taking a quick survey of his U of Cguests, High found four for Roosevelt,two for Willkie, and two for NormanThomas.

Try to learnsome of the lecture material on thespot instead of concentrating on get¬ting it all down for a later learning.In Humanities and Social Sciences,go through the readings carefullyonce before you take any notes at all,then read them again and jot downeverything that you consider reallyimportant. By that time you will un¬derstand the notes you are taking,which will make your review thatMerle Coulter.. .Popular Bi Sci Lecturermuch less obscure. Your first tend¬ency will be to take far too manynotes. Curb it, and try instead tounderstand what you are reading andhearing.Won’t I be able to loaf now andcram later? Yes, you will be able to. ^f you are a quick reader and healthyenough to get along on almost nosleep during comprehensives. Butthere are drawbacks: first, that yourgrade will not be as good as it mighthave been; second, you stand thechance of developing a good case ofjitters; third, and most important,you will end the year with the slight¬ly dazed feeling that you havelearned something but can’t be quitesure what it was. And there is al¬ways the possibility that you won’tbe able to cram enough after all.Will I be able to pass my compre¬hensives? Yes, and with good grades,if you really want to. Don’t worryabout the vast numbers of valedictori¬ans—they probably came from smallschools and are tired of studying any¬way. Don’t worry about the high in¬telligence quotients of your class¬mates—you wouldn’t have been ad¬mitted if the University didn’t feelyou could compete with them. Don’tworry about the many students tak¬ing the exam—you will have thatmuch less competition, because quitea few will have been concentrating onsomething else all year.But do worry about what is requiredon the comprehensive. You will getthe general idea from old exams,which you borrow from your friendsor buy at the Bookstore, from lec¬tures and discussions, from quarter¬lies and quizzes. U you have donepassably well in these quizzes duringthe year and understand everythingthat was stressed in the course, ifyou have allowed yourself onethorough review, you’ll pass with notrouble at all.When you are ready to start offfor your first day of classes, equippedwith pen and notebooks, ideas andprejudices, these are some of thecourses which you can expect.The Biological Sciences: This is agood course to think of when you fearthat you won’t be able to do the workof the University. Here is a sequenceso well organized that you will know David Grene.. .Humanities dynamohow to study for it. The course startsby popping you into botany. This isstraightaway material with fewcomplications, because Merle C. Coul¬ter planned the syllabus, wrote thebotany text and delivers the bot¬any lectures, so by the time youhave heard the same material in threedifferent ways you should be lulledinto an assurance that all is well. Thezoology section will confuse you onlyuntil you have decided that you mightas well sit down and memorize thephylogenetic tree. Physiology growscomplex, but read slowly and bethankful that you don’t have tomemorize the names of bones. iOn your way through the Bi Scicourse you will pick up a look intophysical anthropology and the char¬acteristics of primitive man, a briefexcursion into psychology, a study ofplant and animal communities, and anexposition of Mendel’s laws and laterdiscoveries in the field of genetics.The specialties of the course in¬clude a series of physiology moviesand weekly laboratory exhibits, care¬fully planned and manned by courseassistants, so that students need onlylook at already focused microscopes and skillfully performed experiments.There are weekly quizzes givenduring discussion periods designed toremind you that you are supposed tobe studying steadily, and quarterlyquizzes also. These do not count onyour comprehensive grade, but shouldbe used to let you know where yourweak points are. Take them light-heartedly, disregard the grades andpay attention to your most consistentmistakes.The Humanities: Unique in havingonly two weekly lectures, the Human¬ities course offers a swift trip throughthe civilization of the Western w'orld,stopping every week to examine witha low power miscro.scope some liter¬ary or or philosophical classic char¬acteristic of the period.The missing lecture period is sup¬planted by an extra discussion sessioneach week. This system was adoptedin 1938 at the request of both stu¬dents and staff members, both feelingthat one period did not give enoughtime to talk over the weekly readingassignment. This should give you anidea that readings should be donecarefully with full understanding tobe primed with lively questions toargue about in discussion sessions.The Physical Sciences: This isprobably the sequence about whichyou’ve heard both discouraging re¬ marks and encouraging remarks. Itall depends on whom you talk with.If your forte has been math andphysics in high school and in the apti¬tude test given during FreshmanWeek, wade into the work without afear. If the general picture of youis something opposite, best concen¬trate for your freshman year oncourses with which you are morefamiliar. Yet even though your tal¬ents run in other directions, youshould not have much difficulty inthis course if you keep pace with itsprogress. The material is clearlypresented and once mastered is easilyremembered.The course starts with physics,leads into astronomy, math, chemis¬try, and ends with geology. Studentswho throw in the sponge after thefirst round usually spend their springclothes money on a hard-workinggroup of graduates w’ho give tutoringlessons, but remember that this ex¬pensive process can almost always beeliminated by studying steadily allyear. Here again as in all the Intro¬ductory Courses, weekly quizzes aregiven to keep you on your toes.The course comes equipped with aBookstore rental set, a museum whichdisplays key experiments, a roof-topobservatory, 25 excellent movies, and(Continued on Page 7 )Arthur P.

Thelectures are usually good.Social Sciences I: With a staffheaded by Walter Laves, the Intro¬ductory Course in the Social Sciencesmay impress you as the most mud¬dled course in the College. This isunderstandable, since it encompassesa great deal of material in a field bynature muddled, and difficult to organ¬ize. It w'ill lead you from the feudaleconomic organization through theIndustrial Revolution to modern worldtrade, problems of city government,bankng, social organization.Lectures don’t review and illustratethe readings, as in the scientificcourses, nor supplement them as inthe Humanities, but usually inter¬pret facts and apply them to currentaffairs. Laboratory sessions consistof well-directed trips throughout thecity which serve as good illustrationsof social conditions described in thecourse.Discussions are noted more fortheir heat and stimulation than forj their aid to the student in compre-, bending the material. This is under-j standable, since much of the subject ..winners of the1939-JfO awardsfor excellence inteaching in theCollege.matter is highly controversial, in¬volving many well-fixed prejudices inthe student’s mind. But the purposeof the course is not to present view¬points which the student takes forgi*anted, but to stimulate free ob¬jective thinking on social problems.Readings are well selected and areeasy to arrange if viewed in connec¬tion with the outline in the coursesyllabus.English 102: One of your Fresh¬man Week qualifying examinationswill inform the assembled Englishstaff just how well grounded in Eng¬lish grammar you are. If you scorehigh, your adviser will tell you that you have the opportunity to go to batwith comprehensives almost immedi¬ately, by trying your English Quali¬fying examination in October. Ad¬vantages of this procedure are that itwill speed you through the Collegethat much faster, and will give youan independent thrill of experiencinga comprehensive at the beginning ofyour University career. The draw¬back will be to miss a good and usefulcourse in composition, which drillsyou in outlining, and organizing scat¬tered material into a scholarly andcoherent exposition.. If you feel that you can pick allthis up by yourself, try taking the Qualifying early. It will take theedge off your apprehensiveness aboutcomprehensives, and if you don’t dowell you can repentantly climb backinto the fold of the course and studyenough to improve your grade by pay¬ing five dollars for re-examination inthe Spring.For electives, you are offered 101-2-3 sequences in languages—Greek,Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, Ger¬man, or more advanced foreign litera¬ture sequences. These are all time-consuming, since they require con¬stant and careful study.Other College sequences come inart, music, mathematics, chemistry,geography, philosophy, which rejoicesin the presence of famed philosopher-politico T. V. Smith. There are twogeologies offered, one from a physi¬cal,. and another from a social view¬point. The English literature se¬quences requires poetry, Shakes¬peare, a choice of fiction or drama.The elective sequences will give youa chance to appear in smaller classes,to talk more, to know your profes¬sors better, to mingle with upperclassmen.

In this column youwill receive worthwhile material, beit fact, opinion, or prejudice. Today,you are going to be told about mem¬bers of the faculty of the departmentof Physical Education. Here’s thedope.The director of Athletics is a blondman whose name is Thomas NelsonMetcalf. He has been in his presentposition ever since the Old Man left.He had a difficult task in succeedinga tradition but has done a good job inall capacities. He is a man well worthknowing.The major spopt coaches are NelsonNorgren, basketball, Ned Merriam.track, and Kyle Anderson, baseball.Nels Norgren enjoys the present dis¬tinction of being a crack tennis play¬er, crowding Arthur Compton forfaculty honors, a capable well-likedmentor of the cage squad, and of hold¬ing the past record of nine major “C”sin varsity competition for the Ma¬roon.Ned Merriam veteran track coachis perhaps the quietest man on thestaff. His work with the cross-countryand track squads keeps him well-oc¬cupied and universally well-liked. Be¬ware of confusing him with ProfessorCharles E. Merriam. who sticks ex¬clusively to the Social Sciences.Kyle Anderson, whose first initialis J., is a good baseball coach andlikes to think he plays a good game ofgolf. He is a hard worker who has alsoinstructed in football and basketballas well as the diamond sport.Heading the Intramural departmentas faculty manager is genial, sandy-haired VValter Hebert, who coachesthe uniformly successful tennis teamsat the Midway. Hebert is a competentexponent of the art of verbal self-de¬fense. His Achilles’ heel is his servicein tennis. Don’t tell him I told you.Oldest coach in years of service isgymnastics leader Dan Hoffer. Danhas a passion for figure skating, andteaches the informal hockey squad inaddition to his duties with the gymsquad. He also teaches the classes inexercises and general gym work atnooji.Most versatile of the staff is hugefencing master, Alvar Hermanson.The Swedish man-mountain is an ex¬pert not only at fencing (he wastrainer of the last Olympic team), butis a fine pianist, a good chess player,bridge player, boxer, (he was amateurheavy champ in Sweden), teacher ofcorrective gymnastics and author ofat least one book. Ask me sometimeabout that book.Speaking of books, just ask SpyrosVorres about his. It has been in prepa¬ration more years than the Dictionaryof American English. The mightymite is wrestling coach, and teachesboxing and judo.
