LaFollette, of the faculty, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during the facultystudent basketball game played on February 22, is now able to walk with the aid of crutches as he re­ cuperates at his home in Edinboro. The tendon was torn completely away from the bone, necessitating an operation. While at Hamot Hos­ pital in Erie, Dr. LaFollette met a number of nurses who had taken their cadet training at this college. The instructor’s physician. Dr. Fortune, said that he had treated only five such cases in his exper­ ience and that this “was the best job of tearing the muscle from the bone.” Dr. LaFollette’s cousin, Phil La­ Follette, who recently addressed ESTC students and faculty, visit­ ed the educator in the hospital. By next week. Dr. LaFollette expects to change his hip-length cast for one which will permit better walking. The total healing process, however, will require about six weeks, he reported. Summer Courses In a preliminary announcenient concerning ESTC’s summer ses­ sions, Dr. L. H. Van Houten, Presi­ dent, revealed that a new emphas­ is will be placed upon modern languages. Dr. Frederick Koenig, language instructor, will conduct classes in French I, German I, and “The Teaching of Modern Languages,” the president said. The complete announcement of summer session schedules will be issued soon by the Dean of In­ struction’s* office. VETS READ OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON PAGE TWO ^ Percy Grainger, Pianist - Composer To Give Concert March 21st WAS CLOSE FRIEND OF GRIEG Student-Teachers Get Experience At Edinboro H.S. Percy Grainger, internationally famous pianist and composer, who recently began a nationwide con­ cert tour as' soloist with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, is scheduled to perform in the Audi­ torium on March 21 in one of the season’s outstanding evening-en­ tertainment programs. Born in Melbourne, Australia, July 8, 1882, Grainger began studying the piano when he was six years of age. Six years later he had earned sufficient money by giving concerts to enable him to go to Europe for further musical study.

Mr. Lowder Teachers Demands And Wodd Peace Amid the current clamor for increased pay on the part of the teaching profession perhaps the most important of several illpaid white-collar groups one seldom hears a contrasting note. Newspapers, magazines, and public speakers have taken up the teachers’ plight with a vigor unprecedented in American history. If all citizens have not been roused from their neglectful at­ titude toward the dispensers of knowledge, many guardians of the public purse in state legislatures have been moved to grant greater compensation to the members of this vital profession. — That teachers’ demands we shy away from premature en­ dorsement or condemnation of teacher strikes are largely just­ ified is almost universally admitted. Into their hands is falling ever-increasing responsibility for the early guidance of America’s young children, along moral and social lines as well as scholastic. — — One of the rare contrasting notes mentioned above came in a charge hurled by Humbert H. Humphrey, Mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota, when he addressed the American Association of School Administrators, meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey, recently. The mayor, reports “The Christian Science Monitor”, said: “School teachers have been . . . afraid to tackle controversial is­ sues.” Specifically, he charged that educators have ignored the problems of race relations. William Benton, Assistant Secretary of State, addressing the same gathering, refrained from any such indictment of the teach­ ing personnel. He declared that “world enemies numbers one, two, and three are: Ignorance, Misunderstanding, and Mistrust.” He called these factors the breeders of hate and war. Continued Benton, “World-wide understanding among ordin­ ary people is our most important and least developed resource.” In urging greater teaching of international understanding, he thus implied that it has been neglected in the nation’s classrooms. These statements seem to indicate that the intensive campaign aimed at more reasonable teacher pay rates is likely to have one or two unexpected results in the educational world. A public which pays its teachers better doubtless will demand more expert instruction from them. It will be a powerful boon to the prospects of world peace if the same public becomes equally insistent that its teachers expound the principles of international brotherhood, that they point out the illogic of racial prejudice and that they face all matters of controversy with the utmost frankness. To Think Or Not To Think A very noticeable flaw in our educational system is its frequent failure to develop in youth the important habit of effective think­ ing. This defect is particularly serious in our atomic world of to­ day. Offhand, we can think of two good reasons why it is more important to think today than it was in our earlier history. They are: first, the fact that the maturing of our nation has multiplied social and economic problems making them more complex than ever before; and second, the fact that there has been a phenomen­ al growth of propaganda. — Nearly everyone realizes that the citizen who can discuss cur­ rent problems on any basis other than that of emotionally-condit­ ioned prejudices is certainly rare. Likewise, the average citizen’s receptive mind offers a very thin protection against propaganda. , Even though our problems baffle the great thinkers, we must not conclude that it is hopeless to anticipate good results from the cerebration of the masses. The people must learn either to think or look to some sort of dictatorship, as was the case in Germany. Those who are educators and those who are preparing to teach surely have a tremendous responsibility. We do not pretend to be experts in the techniques of develop­ ing thinkers; and, besides, space is too limited for a detailed dis­ cussion of the procedure to be followed. The purpose of this ad­ monition is chiefly to remind all of us teachers and prospective teachers that we must continually guard against the frequent tendency to take the easy path of training parrots by asking Who? ’ and “When?” instead of developing sincere thinkers b\ asking “How?” and “Why?” — — Roving Reporter By WALTER MATTSON During the last two weeks in­ creased violence raged in Pales­ tine; Britain slowly recovered from the brink' of disaster; Rus­ sia maintained the “iron curtain”; Republican and Democratic fur flew in Washington; and on the campus at E. S. T. C. an august body of men were inducted into the fraternity’ of Phi Sigma Pi. After being informally and form­ ally initiated into the brotherhood, I decided to take down a few pro­ found comments (as to pet peeves —etc.) of my fraternal brothers. Brother Webb — Not enough outside publicity for the college. Correct the impression that our COLLEGE is a NORMAL SCHOOL. Brother Murphy — Why not save on expenses? We have the equipment. Why not print our own newspaper? Brother Freeland — All stuckup people peeve me!! Brother Lynch — Why keep on referring to the “New Auditorium” as such? Why not name it in hon­ or of the dead in World War II? Brother Sammons — Let’s show a little more respect for the facul­ ty. Brother Snyder — My pet peeve is people that tell me about a mov­ ie one step ahead of what is on the screen. I see it as an echo of my announcer. Brother "Anonymous’' — Why do the Kappa Belts go around with long faces? Could it be that they don’t have enough nails to chew on? Brother Ody — I’m thinking of organizing a committee to buy a snowplow!!

The Student Council had plenty of Bowery atmosphere, what with the bar (of course, bartenders too), the peanut shucks on the floor, the rowdy shoor floow, and the lovely corsages . . . P. U.

MARCH 12, 1947 V. A. ADVICE TO VETERANS The following informalion has been furnished by Dr. H. L. Offner, Dean of Instruction, for the benefit of veterans. A veteran to be admitted to college must present a Veterans Ad­ ministration Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement (Form 7-1950) properly authenticated in order to benefit under the G. I. Bill (P. L. 346) at the time of registration. To secure a Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement the veteran must first file an application for rights on V. A. Form 7-1950 and ac­ company the application with a certified or photostatic copy of his dis­ charge. Veterans' Responsibility The responsibility for securing a Certificate of Eligibility and En- . titlement is entirely the veteran’s. The college will assist in unusual cases by supplying necessary application forms, but reserves the right to refuse registration to veterans who do not present a certificate at the time of registration. A veteran who previously attended another college must present a supplemental Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement. A veteran transferring to Edinboro from a college outside the Erie Sub-Regional Territory of the V. A. who has not had sufficient time to procure a sup­ plemental Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement may be admitted to ESTC provided he presents a statement from the college last attend­ ed, certifying that he is eligible for re-entrance there and a statement that he has made application to the V. A. for a supplemental certificate. A student transferring from within the Erie Sub-Regional Territory should not request registration without presenting a supplemental cer­ tificate since prompt service on securing a supplemental certificate can be secured where all requirements for application have been met. The requirements for application for a supplemental certificate are: 1. A signed request for a supplemental certificate. 2. A statement of progress in terms of satisfactory or unsatisfactory from the institu­ tion last attended. 3. A notice of interruption by the college last at­ tended. 4. Change of address on V. A. Form 572. unless the mailing ad­ dress for residence purpose will not be changed. The Erie Sub-Regional Territory of the V. A. constitutes the counties of Erie. Warren. Mc­ Kean. Elk. Forest. Venango. Crawford and Mercer. Veterans on terminal leave status may secure a Certificate of Eli- v gibility and Entitlement in the same manner as those who have com­ pleted service, except that a copy of the terminal leave orders must accompany the application in lieu of the discharge. A certificate issued on the basis of such orders is temporary, pending final receipt of the final discharge papers. Veierans under P. L. 16 are admitted only on specific Letters of Authority addressed directly to ESTC for each individual veteran. Be­ fore such a letter will be issued by the V. A., following advisement, it is the veteran’s responsibility to secure from the college a statement certifying that he will be admitted. The V. A. will assist in procurement of such information from the college when desired. Veterans are required to meet ESTC admission requirements and general college regulations in order to enter and remain. Veterans whose Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement will ex­ pire during their college attendance are responsible for personal pay­ ment of bills incurred after the date of expiration. You will be notified by the V. A. concerning the date of expiration. Veierans withdrawing during, or at the end of. a session are to notify the Dean of Instruction's Office before leaving so that their records may be set in order. The V. A. pays the cost of contingent fees (tuition), activities fees, books and supplies. The veteran must pay for his subsistence—board, room, laundry, etc. At ESTC books and supplies are furnished to veterand at Cooper’s Bookstore downtown on requisition forms signed by in­ structors and approved by the Dean of Instruction’s Office. It is the responsibility of the Veteran to have his requisition sheets properly signed and authenticated or he may be liable for payment himself. The V. A. will in no case reimburse trainees for books and supplies pur­ chased out of their own funds. The V. A. takes note of the scholastic progress of all trainees. P. L, 16 students are required to maintain standards of progress acceptable to the V. A. They must report upon request to the V. A. Traning Of­ ficer assigned to the college. Reports of grades for both P. L. 16 and P. L. 346 students are sent to the V. A. The V. A. expects the ESTC to initiate action leading to termination or interruption in college for un­ satisfactory progress. Veterans who are terminated for unsatisfactory progress must report to the V. A. Advisement and Guidance Section for counselling prior to receiving a supplemental certificate covering any portion of unexpended eligibility. The V. A. reserves the right to re­ strict or limit additional training courses contemplated for such veter­ ans. Through the cooperation of the college, a V. A. Training Officer visits the college regularly for the purpose of discussion of individual, personal problems and matters relating to V. A. records and reports. Training (Dfficer will in no case intervene in the college’s establish^ administrative routine. Veterans requested to report to the Training Officef are expected to do so at the specified time. Extension Classes Held In 5 Cities What Does This Sigma-Phi? Teachers in service at Titusville, Sharon, Frapklin, Warren, and Erie are served again this semester by the college’s extension classes.

Edinboro took possession of the lead from the opening gun by win­ ning the 300-yard medley relay with the team of Mickey Schlindwein, Walter Linburg, and Fred Abbott. Continuing at a fast pace, the Red and White tankers copped five of the remaining eight events. Individual stars of the meet were William Schildmacher and Abbott of Edinboro; both of whom broke Crawford Pool records. Schildmacher lowered the prev­ ious record in the 60-yard free­ style race by 2:2/18 seconds to wip this event in the fast time of 32.7. In the 100-yard free-style event, Abbott raced home in the record-breaking time of fiftyeight seconds. Relay Record Broken A third pool record was toppled by the Raiders in the final event of the meet, the 400-yard free­ style relay. The winning quartet was composed of Abbott, Warren, Ottto, and Schildmacher. Mickey Schlindwein kept up his winning way by besting Pitcher of West­ minster in the diving competition. With the final meet of the year safely tucked away, the local swimmers can review a season of moderate success with a record of three victories and five defeats. The boys from Erie County began the campaign in strong fashion with two smashing wins. In suc­ cessive meets, Buffalo Teachers and Grove City fell before the at­ tack of the Red Raiders. On January 19, when Allegheny left Crawford Pool with the high side of a 42-24 decision, the local aquamen went into a tailspin they could not shake until five meets had gone by the board. Two of these defeats were at the hands of the classy University of Pittsburgh team; the remaining two victories were credited to Fenn and to Slip­ pery Rock. Graduation To Cut Squad Graduation and transfer will cut heavily into the squad now coach­ ed by Art McComb- Three of the stalwarts of the present team — Schlindwein, Kosanovic, and Eisaman — will be graduated. Long and Otto are transfer students; Young and' Brukner will do their swimming next fall for Penn State. Edinboro’s chances for a successful season next year will be helped materially if Clyde Snyder’s student-teaching duties do not prevent him from contin­ uing as manager of the Red and White. Alumni Game To Be Held On Saturday Everyone is urged to attend a basketball game on Saturday at the Crawford Gymnasium between the Edinboro varsity and a team composed of former ESTC players. This game, postponed from last Saturday night, is to be played for the benefit of Carmen Giordano, a Red Raider football player, who was injured in an automobile ac­ cident several weeks ago. Many of the alumni players are past stars at Edinboro and are now coaching high-school teams. Among the ex-college stars who will face the college quintet are Tony Cutri, head coach at Girard High; Bud Rohde, coach at Wat­ erford; and Nick Volitich, who played on the All American Ser­ bian team which recently toured the United States. According to in­ formation released by Coach Har­ rison, other alumni players will be Fred Case, Lockport, N. Y., coach and former pro; Ray Intrieri, N. C. U., player and also a pro star; Fred Casoli, now coaching at Alliquippa; and two other former ESTC stalwarts, Ed Simon and Oscar Palmquist./ This game will be a college event that no student should miss. Besides being for a worthy cause, the game will be worthwhile from a competitive standpoint. The committee in charge of the fray has some additional entertainment planned. Remember that Saturday, March 15, is the date for the Edin­ boro Varsity-Alumni game. Admission to the game will be by donation, with fifty cents as a minimum. Clarion Wrestlers Beat Raider Matmen The Clarion crushers bested the Edinboro wrestlers in a closely contested match at the Crawford Gymnasium on March 6. Final tal­ ly for the match was 21-11. The ESTC team displayed fine form and would have evened the score had it not been for the necessity of a forfeit and a withdrawal be­ cause of injuries to Edinboro grapplers.
