The STUDENTS OWN STORE from a weekly paper to a bi-monthly paper. We were therefore unable to put out more than fourteen editions this year. So we want to take the opp ortunit y in this last edition of the year to thank the administration and student body for their loyal support; if not financial support at least moral supp ort. Of course as we all know , moral support is only secondary to financial suppo rt. Next year we hope to put the Maroon and Goid on an entirely new and different basis. Subscriptions will no longer be voluntar y, but will be collected by a means satisfactory to everyone. With this new principle established it will mean t hat a paper can be issued regularly each week throughout tlie year without the editor and business mana ger continually worrying about where the money is coming fro m for the next edition. We the retiring members of the Executive Committee hope the student body has appreciat ed our efforts , suc h as they were , while hemmed in by this boundary of insufficient funds. We have tried however , students , to have a paper that you can be justl y proud of , for it ranks with the pap ers of the other colleges in the state. The retirin g Editor thanks the 1929-1920 staff for their co-operation with him and exends best wishes for the success of the 1930931 staff. m —innr— " >nm " \nni —innf— *—nnn ^—* Indiana Man to Head Commercial Work continued from page 1 odicals. His most recent contribution is a series of th ree articles dealing with methods of teaching bookkeeping. The first article of this series appeared in the September 1930 issue of The Balance Sheet, a magazine for eommercj ai teachers .. As the result of the demand tor these articles they were combined in an educational monograph "How to Use Practice Sets in the Teachirlg of Bookkeepin g. The business problems committee of the Investment Bankers Association selected Professor Andruss in 1927 to investigate cost accounting practices among its members. For a year he visited a large number of the leading investment bankin g concerns in the United States studying business conditions and accounting practices. The result of this investigation will be used in formulating a uniform . cost accounting system to be used by the members of the Association. A private accountin g practice dealing with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission has acquainted Professor Andruss with a knowledge of corporate business practices in this State. This combination of teaching and business experience coupled with adequate academic prep aration fits Professor Andruss to head the new department for trainin g commercial . teachers . tnnf innr a & H. & C.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS .._ >n LITERARY The Pergola The Junior class, realizing that their overlords and directors , the class of 1930 , during the past three years, are about to pass their authority to other hands, acknowledged this by holding a dance in their honor. It may be that this dance was not a formal farewell for the seniors , but it may have been an expression of exultation , of the Juniors, because they are about to become the guiding infl uence for next year. May 3, 1930 , som e Freshmen sitting on th e porch at North Hall were startled to see several upper-classmen in "tuxes". They had impertinence to ask where the Glee Club was singing, but they were politely ignored. One of the "Frosh" forwarded the theory of a dance, because it was Saturday night. In the lobby of Waller Hall , some of the "lowly ones" were enlightened when many of our fair co-eds made their appearance in long, sylph-like gowns of beautiful colors. The "Frosh" gazed on these beautifully adorned creatures, and also noted small , black books in their hands, somewhat resembling a pocket dictionary that one uses for cribbing, when taking a language final. As the "Frosh" reviewed the creatures, all the while passing remarks like judges of a beauty contest, it was noticed that the small books were attached to milk-white wrists by black and silver cords. They finally arrived at the conclusion that the Junior "Prom " was being held in the gymnasium. LUSTIG'S The class president. William Weaver , named the following to serve on the dance committee. E dward DeVoe was made chairman and h e was assisted by David Baker , H elen Gibbons , Beatrice Bowman , Dorothy Kisner and Rebecca Gilmore. The orchestra was placed on the northeast side of the gymnasium , below the bleachers. A silver and black screen covered with a futuristie art design served as a background. The lights were covered with black and silver crepe paper and the dancers glided beneath an arch of black and silver streamers. Bucknell's Bluest Blue Band blew their blues in volumninous blasts tQ each cubic inch of the gymnasium and at 11:30 P. M. the music was harshly jarred by the gong , sign ifying the end of the dance.
