Comments By The Editor
(You can call them that)

I’d like to add my voice to the many who wish Bill
Bohn luck and who were sorry to see him leave. Some­
thing wrong somewhere.
While on the draft situation, would like to pass ~>n
what Dr. Christensen reported was said at a board
meeting where a Major Dodd of the Secretary of Wai s
Office spoke. “A 9,000,000-man army by the end of
next year. 1-B, 2-A, 2-B men will all have to go. Some
3-A’s and 4 F’s will, too. One man out of every three
registered will be called.’’ Good-bye, boys.
Treason right on the home front. Since the school
was named after a town in Scotland, why pick the
English name “Spectator” for the school publication?
How would the “Thistle,” national flower of Scotland.
or the old “Birch Rod” sound? Either of them would
put some sting into what I am trying to say.
Did you ever stop to figure out how much each hour
of class is costing you—or your daddy? Add up what
you are paying for it, toss in what you could have been
earning at present wages, and you come to quite a
sizeable sum. Expensive sleep.
Why is there such a relatively small student repre­
sentation at the Lecture numbers? Is it'because of pay­
ing your money at the Bursar’s office, where you forget
about it, instead of having to dig into your jeans each
time an act comes to town? It’s do-re-mi either way,
and mighty wasteful not to use it, seems to me.
People are pretty busy on campus. Ever wonder
why? It used to be the rule—and still is at quite a
few places outside of teachers colleges—to take only
14 to 16. hours of work: and doing those well. But
many here are taking 19 and 20, with a great deal of
extra-curricular work besides. Maybe that’s the way
you want it, though.
I’d like to give a hand to Dr. Van Houten for turn­
ing the dining room over for dances. Popular opinion
is that it is the best place yet. Also eligible for ap­
plause are those year book people who picked the pho­
tographer, the Greek-letter groups for the dance they
put on, the girls’ sorority for beating the boys at their
own game of initiating, and the whole college for the
way they came through on Tag Day.
But only growls for people who kick about assembly
programs but won’t do anything themselves, persons
who7 don’t pick less private places for doing worse than
holding hands (it’s embarrassing, honest—especially if
we can’t get in on it), and editors who write stuff like
this. It’s only temporary, though.
Oh, yes.
Remember THEY TALK?
Well, they
won’t anymore, for two reasons: there are too many
of them and they repeat themselves too1 much.
The
Chinese can discontinue serials in the middle, why can’t
I?
I’ll have to see an authority on dreams and ask him
to unravel this one: while snatching 40 winks, 1
dreamed everyone handed their assignments in on time,
wrote them without too much prodding, and were yell­
ing for more. It’s a fake, if you ask me.

fine piece of work in the Dean of

We hope that the rationing pro­

Another week, another column—another spring, an_
other ? It’s getting so you can’t sleep in the morn­
ings the birds wake you up, or it’s raining, or peo.
pie get up for breakfast, and at times there are those
eight o’clock’s—then on Friday, it’s sheets.
But life goes on in Haven as usual—with a few wellaimed bombs thrown in for effect—like last Saturday
night—you remember?—the Pan Hellenic (and PanHellenic is right!)—That was “no laughing matter,”
was it Peg? What does a girl do when number one turns
up from home, and she’s with someone else—that’s
what makes the wheels go ’round here, I guess—those
unexpected times when Fate steps in (or when it does­
n’t, and should—ask Peg Davis, she’ll tell you). But
nevertheless, it’s fun!
And then, there’s always the army—it may take the
male population, granted, but it certainly leaves us
with a collection of beautiful pictures on hand.
Dances seem to breed double trouble, though—Fri­
day night, for instance when Rooney spends the eve­
ning with the local boys, and goes home with her home
talent,—better luck next time, Lois Ann.
Decorations were under the supervision of Kay Davis
plus G. Himes and E. Price.
Well, there’s ways and there’s ways—Saturday
night our, by now, well known doubles disappeared,
and guess what—the Dombachs, H. Williams, G. Himes
and P. Heim and a friend of G. Himes turned up in
New Castle—what ingenuity won’t think up!

Jests Tomorrow
Will Give Sophs
Good Going-Over
The sophomores of the college are
to be given a chance to exercise
and test their gray matter come the
jay of March 19, upon that fatal
date they are going to- be closeted
for five or six hours with a series of
te3ts designed to determine their
knowledge—if any.
The tests will scan your knowledge
of English, contemporary affairs, and
general culture.
So gird up your
loins, sophs, and prepare yourselves.
And don’t go blaming the people who
correct your papers if you don’t do
so well, because the tests will be
sent to Harrisburg for machine
scores.
See the results? Oh, yes—pro­
vided you aren’t hauled in for con­
sultation first.

Frank Soscia, Player Of The Year
When John Wolfe remarked that
he had heard that Frank Soscia was
playing first string during the recent
basketball season, everyone ap­
preciated his humor, for they well
knew, as did Wolfe, that Frank had
been the backbone of Edinboro’s
basketball team ever since his arrival
in 1938. Frank is, indeed, a basket­
ball player of the first rank.
No
one else can handle the ball as he
can; in dribbling or in passing it
seems to obey his slightest command.
But he is more than a ball handler
and dead shot: Frank is a team man.
He has never been guilty of “hog­
ging” the ball or of “grandstand”
playing. Far from it, he uses every
man on his team. Although he was
che natural leader of the team, and
everyone on it admired him and re­
spected his ability, Frank never at­
tempted to “boss” the team on the
floor. Bud Rohde spoke truly at the
“E ’ Club banquet when he said that
Frank Soscia could play on any col­
lege team in the country and im­
prove it.

Initiates

“Sosch” is a senior graduating this
spring. He is majoring in science,
minoring in mathematics. Himself
a graduate of Strong Vincent in
Erie, Frank did his student teaching
at Academy last semester, teaching
a class in trigonometry and one in
general science.
Aside from the
basketball floor, the place in which
Frank is seen most often is the din­
ing hall where he has worked as a
waiter most of the time during his
four-year career at Edinboro. His
ability to walk off with a whole table­
full of dishes in his hands has often
caused people to remark, “Well,
‘Zip,’ aren’t you using a tray today?”
An active “E” Club member,
Frank has limited himself mostly to
athletics. He has earned his college
education the tough way, working
hard and consistently for everything
he’s received. One reward for this
hard work has been two successive
appearances in Who’s Who in Ameri­
can Colleges and Universities.
As
an interesting conversationalist, a
clear thinker, a true friend, a natur­
al leader, and a mighty swell chap,
we recommend “Zip” Soscia.

Pan-Hellenic Ball
Deemed Successful
From Every Angle
The all-Greek dance sponsored by
the Phi Sigs, the Kappa Delts, and
the Alpha Delts was appropriately
an all-successful dance, in every
sense of the word. Nearly every
guy found himself a gal and joined
the jamboree in Haven Hall, and by
the way, the college dining room
takes first place on the list of
campus spots for dancing; there is
something about gliding around
those mighty pillars that adds glam­
our to the gathering.
The fifteen pieces that rendered
both sweetness and swing from the
front corner by the stairs, under the
guidance of Will Brydon, were voted
a definite affirmation by the major­
ity of music movers.
Recognition
should be given especially to Bob
Day, the drummer boy, and to the
four fellows who composed the pro­
fessional-sounding quartet.
Little reminders of the difficulties
of Hell Week, in the shape of pad­
dles, that reclined on the various
window sills, along with huge em­
blems for each respective organiza­
tion, were the simple but sufficient
decorations.
This seemed to be one affair at
which the faculty really enjoyed
themselves.
Those that weren’t
dancing—and there were a surpris­
ing number on the floor beating it
out with the best of the crowd—
those that weren’t dancing, looked
most comfy conversing in chairs be­
fore the fireplace.

the neophytes informing them that
the formal initiation would take place
some time in May.
The Edinboro- chapter has recent­
ly sponsored an open art exhibit in
Haven Hall parlors. Including class
work in ceramics, leather work,
jewelry, commercial design and oil
painting, the display attracted much
attention. A future fraternity ex­
hibit is also planned.

This year the Dramatic Club won t
hold its tournament of plays as usual,
but will present an entertainment of
two one-act plays on the evening of
April 15. The plays will be cast and
directed by two members of the
Dramatic Club, Evelyn Glenn and
Sarah Wilson, who are working for
credit in dramatics.
Evelyn Glenn will direct “A Long

“Theater of the Soul” by a contem­
porary author. The directors are
now busy casting their parts.
The casting will not be confined
to the Dramatic Club but will in-1
elude any students who1 are suitable
for the parts and who are interest­
ed in acting. Wilbur Sloan, stage
manager, will be in charge of the
scenery. These plays promise to be
interesting, to say- the least, and will
provide an evening well spent for
all those who attend.

summary of the research of the mem­

of the policies adopted by the Acad­

formation, the Academy of Science
takes an active part in influencing
the policies and actions of other or­

Certification Committee Reports

A major portion of a session will
be taken up by the report of the
Committee on the Certification of
High School Science Teachers. Under
the supervision of Dr. J. C. John­
son, biology instructor on this cam­
pus, who is the Chairman of the
Committee as well as a former presi­
dent of the Academy, a number of
scientists, educators, high school in­
structors and administrators, gov­
ernment officials, and industrialists
will report the findings of the Com­
mittee.
The Certification Commit­
tee is interested in a movement to
raise the minimum requirements for
certification of secondary teachers in
the several science fields.

Mu Kappa Gamma, local music
fraternity, will hold its initiation
service at 4:30 this afternoon at the
home of Miss Esther Wilson. Fol­
lowing this service the group will
have dinner and then go to the De

The queen and her court have been

The decorating job is being han­

know why....because I guess ther^is.
n’t very much about field, forest or
stream that Bonny couldn’t tell you
....and that’s no exaggeration. jack
is probably the only person from
whom Mr. Mallory would ever ac­
cept a theme about fishing. The nic­
est thing about his being a great
guy, an expert woodsman, pretty
sharp on the basketball floor and a
lady-killer (unintentionally) is that
he rates high on the scholastic chart
too. Maybe the sophomores aren’t
dumb.
Heading the junior’s list of officers
is one David Blasdell, of New Castle
Pa. Head waiter is his duty and
head of the Kappa Delts is his honor.
Dave is quite tall, dark haired, rather
quiet....and his taste in women runs
to blonde freshmen. If you know
him at all, you know how friendly
he is. Sox thinks well of him, too.
Football....let’s see now....isn’t this
the third year? Scholastically....very
good....majoring in the science field.
What is so1 noticeable is how efficient­
ly he directs the juniors’ activities.
There’s a really White man guid­
ing the seniors’ last footsteps on this
campus: Otis White to be exact.
Whitey likes to hunt, play basket­
ball, dance and generally have a good
time. He chose the Phi Sigs when
he was a freshman, or did they
choose him? At any rate, either way
the choice was a good one; he is
“E” CLUB MINSTREL . . .
now their president.
Even last
semester’s grind of student teaching
(Continued from Page One)
didn’t affect the happy grin he usual­
osa, McCoy, Springer, Stubbe, Sca- ly wears. Whitey is from Linesville
and it seems that the government has
ise, Walsh, Bonnett and others.
Mr. Ulrich will act as interlocutor his number.
There they are....good men all.
and risk his neck as being the only
white man among twenty-odd canni­
bals.
One and all we wish to thank Miss
Win A
Wilson, who has come through won­
derfully with music for the show.
George Kasonovic and Ruth Sam­
kowski will tickle the ivory for us;
and incidentally both are good scouts
and better workers.

Because all our class presidents
are men and because they can all be
described as handsome, it is only
proper that they should be portrayed
from the feminine point of view.
An obviously intelligent group of
students, the freshman class of 1942
elected Ronald McCoy prexy of their
group. In the short time that he has
been here, he has become so well
acquainted and has participated in
so many activities that I hardly need
describe him. You’ve seen him....on
the basketball floor, in the Rec room
or working with Miss Pettit’s crew
of
waiters....He’s the well-built
blonde fellow with the expansive
grin. Bud hails from Giflard Jand
likes Girard so well that he rooms
with a fellow Girardian.
Rumor
has it that Bud handles the presi­
dency quite well.
The sophomores have sort of got­
ten in a rut....I mean, electing Jack
| Bonnett for president two years
I straight. But it’s such a nice rut!
I Bonny (as he is familiarly known to
| his friends) is the fellow with the
dark hair, whose crew cut is just
growing out. He’s the one whose
eyes crinkle up so happily when he
grins. His home port is Oil City
and he frequently answers to the
name of Daniel Boone.
You all
