Mr. Lowder PRINTED Bl THE ALBION NEWS "You Cant Legislate Love" Some weeks ago a tvoman student intimated confidentially to an editor of “The Spectator’ that campus rules pertaining to male-female social contact were, in her judgment, one or tivo shades less than liberal. The girl alleged that existing regulations actually stated the number of inches of daylight that must appear between couples walking along Edinboro’s charming streets. Holding hands or as­ suming other poses which could be construed as being amorous, continued our complainant, constitute offenses which carry stiff penalties. We feel that a bit of proximity between the sexes is unavoid­ able during operation of the crowded “chow” line, if not at other times, but that is not our reason for narrating this incident. Our chivalrous aim is to point out concrete evidence which should be inspiring as well as consoling to all students who may think that their natural romantic impulses are being unduly curbed. Witness the several campus courtships that have blossomed into weddings recently. Although this outburst of nuptial cere­ monies could hardly be termed a “wave” or a “rash,” the number is sufficient to prove that love is invincible even in the face of highly technical inhibitory rules. Th'e loss of “The Spectator’s” first sports editor and the im­ minent resignation of his successor can be traced to matrimonial factors. Since we like to be referred to as “liberal,” however, we do not intend to request more stringent social rules. We shall re­ strain ourselves from asking for more daylight bettveen strolling couples, and we shall purge our minds of all vicious thoughts of suggesting an armed anti-love guard for Haven Hall. The immutable fact—which we hope our lamenting girl will abosorb—is that true, love can not be thwarted by any number of interdictions. As a fitting conclusion, then, to this discourse, we remind all at ESTC who aspire to become June brides that there are only 114 days left in the semester. With the present male-female ratio, it is purely a woman’s market. It should be easy, girls. —John B. Bonnell Welcome To those individuals who but in the recent past arrived on the E. S. T. C. campus, we dedicate this column. To them we sin­ cerely extend a hearty welcome, but ice leave it to gifted poets to express our feelings in more fitting language than is at our com­ mand. “Welcome, my old friend, Welcome to a foreign fireside.” Longfellow — To an Old Danish Songbook. “Welcome as the flowers in May.” —Scott—Rob Roy “I hold your dainties cheap, sir, and your welcome dear” Shakespeare—Comedy of Errors. • • • • “Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast." * Shakespeare—Merchant of Venice. “Sir, you are very welcome to our house: It must appear in other ways than'words Therefore I scant this breathing courtesy." Shakespeare—Merchant of Venice. “Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing." Shakespeare—Troilus and Crcssida. • • • » “His worth is warrant for his welcome.” Shakespeare—Two Gentlemen of Verona. “Alike he thwarts the hospitable end Who drives the free or stays the hasty friend; True friendship’s laws are by this rule expressed, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest. a. Homer—Odyssey. “And Snow Was Born” God looked at the world One winter morn, At its barren fields And its trees forlorn, » Who lifted their leafless Arms to the sky, And whispered, “Cover us, Lord, Or we shall die." Then God took pity On this world below, And waving his hand He created snow. Gerry Prengaman Correspondence . TO THE GIRLS OF ESTC “Why we had lots more fun around here last year even though there weren’t many fellows.’’ “That’s right, the fellows hardly seem to notice us. What’s the use of griping about the number of late per’s that we get when most of us won’t even have use for those that they do give us?” I overheard tills bit of conversa­ tion among several girls in Haven Hall shortly after Thanksgiving vacation. Upon inquiry, I found that we, the ex-G.I.’s, are held in rather low esteem by a surprising number of our co-eds. We are ac­ cused of taking very little interest in the girls here at college. Per­ haps we owe them an explanation. Girls, let me clarify our position. Our main interest here is to gain an education. I have been told that this is not your main reason for coming here. For most of us, study­ ing is a full-time job that leaves few leisure moments. Then, too, most of us are living under the G. I. Bill of Rights, which has no pro­ vision for funds to be used for your entertainment. We look at our jobs and our lives more ser­ iously and more realistically now than we did when we graduated from high school. In the service we found that we couldn’t be “kids” any longer; we had to as­ sume responsibility. We are sorry that we can’t have more dates now. We’d enjoy them too; however, as I have said, our main ambition at present is to graduate. Perhaps you will realize your main ambition before you graduate too. In spite of our ap­ parent lack of interest now, we really have your interests at heart. Signed—An Ex-G.I. Editor s Announcement Pressure has been on students and faculty alike for the past three weeks. During this rush period, it was made manifest to the editors,of "The Spectator" that full attention io studies is likely to i4iuli in the neglecting of the "outside" world. Since events, however, have no respect for a student's inability to stay abreast of them, the editors decided that an occasional column on national and international developments would be a commendable addition to this page. All news is not "heavy" or dry. There is a certain grim humor, for example, in the Georgia gubernatorial battle, as any radio comedian will quickly admit. "The Spectator" neverthe­ less, will welcome comment on this new feature. A LOOK AT WORLD AFFAIRS When, after months of rumors and denials, James F. Byrnes final­ ly ended his brief but colorful career as Secretary of State, it was no surprise io "insiders” that General George C. Marshall was promptly named io the top diplomatic position. Soon, though, people who can­ not bear io see the United States dominated in any respect by military men began to voice their distaste for the appointment. While the press overwhelmingly favored Marshall's rise to the secretaryship—at least one editor felt it was President Truman's wis­ est appointment to dale—many citizens began io read into the event several unrecorded angles. It is safe io say that some ex-GIs, long forc­ ed to suppress their resentment to wartime methods of the "brass," found it difficult io applaud when the wartime chief of staff became the nation's foreign policy chief. WILL MOSCOW UNDERSTAND? An aspect which is disturbing to a much wider segment of the population is: how will Marshall's appointment be interpreted in total­ itarian capitals, notably Moscow? Will the men in the Kremlin be able io understand that Marshall has severed his military connection, that he would rather retire, but bows to his patriotism, and that he clearly lacks the power to wage war on any nation? It is a provoking question, and it is doubtless being asked throughout the world's diplomatic halls. Five other high foreign posts are currently occupied by Army or Navy officers. General Eisenhower’s right-hand man during the Euro­ pean campaigns. General Bedell Smith, sits in the American embassy in Russia. General Douglas MacArthur reigns in Japan. General Mark Clark, soon io be replaced by General Geoffrey Keyes, is top authority in the American zone of Austria. General Lucius D. Clay is supreme in American-occupied Germany, and Major General John Hilldring is Assistant Secretary of State for Occupied Areas. Since the last four of the above high-ranking gentlemen are con­ cerned with the job of military occupation of defeated countries, it may be argued that they are the logical men for the task, because victory by the armed forces undeniably made the occupation possible. Just as cogently, however, it may be held that the war is over, and that the time has come for the U. S. to impress the conquered with a de-emphasis of militarism. OBSTACLES OVERCOME In behalf of the military office-holders, it' should be granted that they have done, by and large, a good administrative chore. Terrifying obstacles have been overcome. Germans, for instance, threatened with starvation, have been persuaded to refrain from mass violence. Then there is the delicate problem of the conduct of occupation troops. Until the passage of time permits a more adequate judgment of the sagacity of appointing military men to civilian offices, young Americans, especially those attending colleges, will do well to keep close tabs on State Department and foreign occupation activities. THE OPEN SHELVES While browsing through the many volumes upon display in the library, we found that innumerable books have titles that are synony­ mous with situations and events here at E. S. T. C. A few of these are: "The Crisis" — Semester tests and final grades. *Lays of the New Land" — A new semester of work. "American Humor" — Pop Bates' classes. "Three O’clock Dinner" — Down at the Hut. "The Sheltered Life" — Staying in the Girls' Dorm. "mow Smoko” — Some people burning up over their low grades. Being Mot Together- - On iho way homo from the movies.

Dean’s List THREE THE SPECTATOR JANUARY 29. 1947 GIORDANO'S CONDITION REMAINS SERIOUS Scuttlebutt “Congratulations” to the newly­ weds, “welcome back” to the sick, a friendly “hello” to the new-com­ ers, and a “happy birthday!” to all the sons and daughters of Cap­ ricorn. We think that is quite in­ clusive, but if you should feel slighted in the least—forgive us, huh? We have heard that there are many on the sick list — or the “near” sick list. Some have colds, others have tonsilitis, or “ailing” appendices.. Howard Kerrick is re­ siding at the present time in the infirmary, where he is keeping company with the chicken pox! We have heard of several corni­ ced incidents involving student­ teachers before they left the training school. For instance— Miss Barber’s fourth-grade stu­ dents were always raising their hands to tell Idabelle Gordon that she had dotted her “I’s” wrong or made some other letter different­ ly from what they had been taught. Betty Deeter’s sophomore boys paid her back for certain happen­ ings (we hear) by washing her face in snow—(After she had finished her teaching—you understand.) One of Joyce Weldon’s little sophomore boys tried to bribe her by offering to fix her up a date with his cousin. The reason for the bribery? It seems that Joyce de­ cided to give her “darlings” a tough test before she left her dut­ ies. The little guy wanted a little help with the test—that’s all. To celebrate the termination of his duties, George Kasonovic got a short haircut. When we came back from semester vacation and saw it, we thought that the moths had had a field day. Of course, we know that there must have been “unusual” hap­ penings in the teaching experience of the rest of our “veterans,” but they prefer to keep them private, and just snicker at them a little to themselves. We are glad to see the other students are hearing of our swell school, and are coming here too.. There are several persons we’ve seen strolling the campus lately. To all we extend a hearty wel­ come. At the same time we also wish to mention the fact that we are missing the presence of some people who used to be seen hang­ ing around a lot. J The condition of Carmen Gior­ dano, one of four ESTC men in­ volved in an auto accident near McKean, Pa., at 3:15 Sunday morning, remained serious as “The Spectator” went to press. Gior­ dano and Dan Susie, who received lacerations, are undergoing treat­ ment in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Erie. The driver of the car, Arthur Warren, and the fourth passenger, Angelo Susi, escaped injury. The mishap occurred during the stu­ dents’ return trip from the Edin­ boro-Slippery Rock basketball game.

Coach Harrison's players jump­ ed to a 12-8 lead at the close of the first quarter but fhiled to click in the second stanza, trailing 18-16 at halftime. A hot third quarter put the Red Raiders out in front, 3431. with ten minutes of playing time remaining.’ The fourth quarter turned into a thrilling do-or-die battle.
