Sketches Renaissance of Stories

Close Season With Eighteenth Vic-

Through the Ages ; Depicts the
Influence of Printing Press on
Story Writing.
"Just as it's born in ducks to swim ,
and in cats to catch mice, so t he same
stories are born in the heart and
mind of man whatsoever be his language. " Thus spoke Miss Rachel
Turner at chapel Wednesday as she
presented an interesting sketch on
"Stories Through the Ages."
Outlining the art of story- telling
from earliest man, she showed how
it affected and influenced the advancemen t and progress of today.
"Story-telling was a business in the
old days like farming and hunting
and fighting. No one was more respected than the story teller. The
older st ories are , the better they are.
If they were not so good they would
have been forgotten long ago.
Vividly she depicted incidents in
the lives of the master story-tellers
of the ages. The fables of Aesop, the
parables of Jesus, the tales of Homer
and Virgil, and the works of other
great story-tellers were sketched.
Miss Turner gradually brought the
transition of the art of story-telling
up to the close of the Middle Ages,
when the invention of the printing
pi'ess completely revolutionized the
story. The stories of the medieval
period were stories of war, figh ting,
Notable
courage, and heroism.
among the stories of this period were
the tales of King Arthur and the
Knights of tho Round Table.
Finally, bringing her address to a
close, she said : "A new force had assorted itself which was to exert tremendous influence in swaying the
minds of men and nations,—that
force which is the printed page—the
book. "
And then , she closed her talk with
a very appropriate poem by John
Farrar, former editor of The Bookman :
"THE YOUT H SPEAKS "
And what shall you give mo, Sir,
To speed mo on my road,
To fill tho chinks of lonely hours

PROBLEM

A large class of boys in nin th grade!
Algebra has formed the habit of
giggling or laughing loudly at mistakes by individual pupils. The general attitude tends to become frivolous whenever any inciden t occurs;
that is at all out of the ordinary routine . Whatever can be laughed at is
laughed at, and the laughing becomes'
disorderly unless the teacher calls the
class to order at once. How can the
teacher correct this attitude?

Though Bloomsburg held a supposedly comfor table lead of 7 points ,
Millersville rallied to come within

Rapid fire field goals by Emerick,

With a vim and zest that surprised
the large aggregation in the College
gym , Marion Hinkel , graduate of
Hershey High School , literally "tore "
through the defense of the BlueOrange to annex 23 points and win
the game by a score of 23-6.
The girl from the chocolate town
seemed perfectly at home tm the
floor , and dropped the ball through
the hoop at will .
Chevitski, blonde guard from
Larksville, played a fast game and
was responsible for many of the
clever plays executed by the GreenYellow.- Foley, her fellow-guard,
stuck like glue to her forward and
held down the scoring for the opponents.
Stine seemed content to let Hinkel
make all the points and upon receiving the ball passed it to her fellow
player. Bubb, active cen t er , t ook
the tap at least four out of five times.
She held down the pivot position very
efficien tly. Edward s took the tap
and passed it to the Blonde Haired
Bandi t, Hinkel, who put it through
the net.
The outstanding players of the
Orange-Blue line-up were Vollrath,
Rowett, and Acker. Vollrath , former
shooting ace of West Nanticoke High
School t eam , played a very effective
game bu t it was impossible for her
teammates to stop the candy-town
girl.
In the second game, the Reds defeated the Silvers by a score of 12-4.
D err and Barba st arr e d for t h e Red s,
while McCorm ack and H arrison led
the action of the Silvers. The low
scoring can be accounted for by the
excellent work of the guards of both
t eams, R ein ard , Bernosky,< Meyers
and Lowry.
Mabel Rinard , former guard on the
Sunbury High School team, did not
seem up to her usual form. However, it must be admitted that she
time and again , kept the opposing
forward from annexing a field goal.
Contini and Felker handled the
center of the floor very nicely, arid
took the tap repeatedly from Bayliff
and Cechini.
A very large number of fans turned out for the game. Quite a few
boys were on hand to cheer their favorites.
Some of the boys present expressed the opinion that "those girls sure
can shoot. " "Pagan " Greco could
not keep score for the contest due to
obj ections of some of the girls.
"Frosh" ChudzensM was present in
the grand stand and was recognized
by the Maroon and Gold reporter.
Kafka was also present but fell asleep

In the Frosh Tournament there
were two divisions of teams, an A
and a B depending on the amount of
experience the girls have had either
in high school or college. The A
teams are quite evenly matched and
show some fine material ; the B teams
have some ou tstanding individual
players.

THE JAY-VEES END
UNDEFEATED SEASON
In a preliminary game to the Millersville fray the Bloomsburg JayVees scored their twelfth and final
victory of the season by defeating
the Lackawanna Shops of Scranton
by the score 46 to 30.
The Jay-Vees outscored their opponen ts in each of the four quarters.
The pass-work of the Jay-Vees was a
big feature of the game.
Washeleski , promising center, was
the high scorer for the evening with
seven goals and one foul. Yaretski
and "Freddie " Jaffin , hard-working
f orwards, scored heavily also.
The experience which these lads
have gained this year should prove a
valuable aid to them in order that
they might step into the places on the
varsity left open by graduating players.

Predicts a Bitter Pres idential Fight
in 1932 ; Roosevelt and Longworth May be the Possible Opponents.
Dr. George Earle Raiguel, noted
an exceptionally fine
chapel program on Friday morning,
told the college that the business depression in the United States was
certainly bound to be relieved during
the summer months. This was Dr.
Raiguel's last appearance at the College this year, and many who heard
him felt that it was his finest interpretation of current events yet given
at the College.
In predicting the next year 's presidential development Dr. Raiguel
spoke of President Hoover 's unpopularity and the possibility of a Longworth-Roosevelt tilt at that time. He
expressed his belief that Governor
^^^
ax ^asm
Roosevelt
would be the next Democratic candidate. In the Democratic
ranks are three likely candidates,
Owen Young ,A1 Smith and Governor
Roosevelt. But of the three Smith
and Young are mere pictures in comparison to the influene of Governor
Roosevelt.
The Republicans also have three
big men to offer : Hoover, Da w es and
Longworth. In the event that Hoover 's unpopularity prevents his nomination , it is likely that Speaker
Longwor th would be a possible
choice , in that he is backed by Senator Boran and Alice Longworth,
formerly A lice Roosevel t , both of
whom have no small influence in political circles. However, if Hoover
secures the n omin at ion , the party
will suppor t him one hundred per
cen t, declared Dr. Raiguel.
The lectu rer carefully analy ze d the
motives of President Hoover in regard to the veto of the Bonus Bill.
The President's stand was not true to
the Hoover tradition , Dr. Raiguel
ai'gued. In the first place Mr. Mellon
and President Hoover had misconstrued the facts.
Contrary to the
Hoover plan , there is $900,000 ,000
now available for veteran relief. Of
the three million veterans not more
than one-half are likely to draw upon
t heir p o licie s, so that the present
treasury surplus will care for the
exigency imposed. Dr. Raiguel suggested that the reason for Hoover 's
veto lay in the fact that Owen Young,
a Democrat, had originated the bill.'
The speaker was optimistic concerning the present business depression. He declared the depression was
aggravated by the drought last summer , and expressed the hope that our
national building program and bettor weather would improve the situation.
The one thing America must learn
is to curtail governmental expenditures and extravanganco. Dr. Raiguel warned the audience that the

At the regular meeting of the Philosophy Club Tuesday, March 3, Dr.

the kinds of reasoning. Deductiv e
reasoning is used in mathmetical
sciences and induc tive reasoning is

Because there are so many mistakes in reasoning and so many conclusions arrived at for the same problem there must be tolerance in this

and t olerance mus t be used is in the
consideration of the universe. Ttie
universe is complex, infinite, harmonious. It consists of man, na t ure ,
planets, present and past, and the
possibility of God.
The nature of the universe is an
unsolved riddle , but many opinions
are vouchsafed. There are the skeptics who say "I don 't know, and no
one can know." There are those who
believe the universe "just growed"
like Topsy; and those who believe
that there is a Supreme Being back
of it all. Dualism supports the theory
that the universe is made up of two
things, matter and spirit. Then
comes the question , "Is matter fundamental and spirit the spark f rom the
machine, or is spirit fundamental and
matter the medium through which
spirit flows, or are they equally important?"
This week "The Existence and Nature of God" was the subj ect. Visitors are alway s welcome.

government is expending great sums
for which the coming generations
would have to pay . The national budget now totals over $3,000 ,000 ,000.
In turning to international affairs
the speaker gave a brief review of
the present naval race between England and United States. He lamented the fact that our naval policies
were so impractical and antagonistic.
In the Naval Arms Conference it was
agreed , upon the insistence of United
States, that we have equal responsibility with England for policing the
w orld , notwithstanding tho greater
need of England for police forces.
America agreed at the conference to
assume tho added resopnsibllity. But
America has fallen down in the bar gain.
Events are stirring in France.
Briand , the greatest Frenchman of
our generation , is to be elected president of Franco in June—that is , if?
Briand wishes to be elected , predicted Dr. Raiguel. If Briand chooses to
be president, ho will do so for a reason, Briand is tho sponsor of "The
United States of Europe. " Unless he
can put this idea to work in the next
few years, France is doomed. Briand

CARVER HALL TOWER LIGHT
The dome of Carver Hall once carried a flagpole , which was struck by
lightning, leaving a part of the staff
shattered and broken. This semester
under the supervision of Mr. Englehar t, Superin tendent of Grounds and
Buildings , a tower light has been
placed on the dome of Carver Hall.
This illumina tion of the dome will
make our Alma Mater a landmark for
many miles. The light is eight feet
high and over three feet in diameter.
It is held in position by a three-inch
stem that extends eleven feet downward to a heavy beam placed in the
tower for support. The electric service contains two circuits of four
lights each and has its switch control
from a panel board on first floor.
The workmen took advantage of
the presence of the scaffolding to
make a number of repairs, including
repairs on the copper sheeting, and
to painting the dome itself. As soon
as weather permits the woodwork of
the entire tower will be repainted.

as president could wield more power
nnd also forego tho risk of not being
included in the next cabinet.
In Germany, Von Hindenburg is
still in the hearts of the people to
such an extent that tho national constitution will perhaps be amended to
allow him to enjoy a longer term as
president. The depression in Germany is acute. Of the 00,000,000
people not more than 4,000 have an
income equalling $25,000.
Tho greatest menaco to America
comes from within. It comes from
those who want to keep tho status
quo , in ordor that they can line their
own pockets. A new day in government is coming. Wo must welcome
it with joy.
