A committee, representative of Day Women , Dormitory Women, Dormit ory Men, and Day Men , has been ¦appoin ted to assist in the work. Those chosen are: Marjorie Beaver,' Day Women; Verna Jones, Dormitory Women; and Jacob Koteh, Dormitory Men. The Day Men are represented by Howard Bevilacqua , who was the reappointed Editor. Though definite plans have not yet been set up for the book it is believed that few changes will be made in the general appearance. It is the sincere hope of the committee that all organizations on the campus hold their elections -for officers of next t erm some time before the close of the second semester of this year in order that these may be included in the Handbook. The com mi tt ee will also apprecia t e any criticism of a constructive nature tha t may be offe r ed by stu den t s or faculty members.

S. F. A. demand for relief for college students is one way for citizens to make their government effective and practicable. Moreover it is possible for the individual students to exert a more direct influence on American government if he only will. College men and women of today must think for themselves. Begin immediately to read the current events ol the day, not only the Hauptmann trial but what the President and Congress are doing at Washington. The "alphabet" .branch es n ow in ex ist en ce,are t oo complex and changeable, it is tru e, to follow carefully; however, the most important issues of the administrative program and their development will stare you in the face if you 'turn to the editorial section of a Phila. or N. Y. newspaper. The average college student has either reached or is near to the voting age; it will soon be up to our generation to take full command of the Ship of State. It is up to us to decide whether the present course is disastrous , satisfactory, or whether a compromise will be successfull. The success of this decision depends on our knowledge of the defects and worthwhile qualities in the policies by which we are now governed. The polls is the place to use this knowledge; besides, the records of all candidates are open today to any voter who is interested enough in his own and his country 's welfa re, to examine them. Acquaint yourself with the political issues and men of today and then make your own decisions. Tradition has shown us that corrupt legislation throws a nation into chaos. It is only by means of the honest, intelligent voter and his acknowledged leaders that a country such as ours becomes truly prosperous. Therefore, make a habit of reading daily the editorial section of your favorite newspaper. Our recently appointed Poet Laureate evidently has taken to prose. Nothing with rhyme or rhythm has come from his pen since his coronation. Perhaps the crown "went to his head!"

That is the story of the Kutztown S. T. C.—B. S. T. C. game. Bloomsburg opened both the first and second halves with smoothly running, precisely clicking offensive plays and tight, grudging, figh t in g defensive play. However, in the second and fourth quarters the offense bogged down and the defensive play became patchy. Both teams showed early season form in missing short "peeps " near the baskets and this alone kept the score from being much higher for both teams. Bloomsburg's long shots did a very important part in keeping Kutztown at bay and built up a lead which was enough to thwart an almost irresistabl e last quarter offensive , by the visitors, which very nearly won the game, Here is the completed record of the games won and lost last year together with a comparison of the total number of points scored by our team and their opponents.

New teams have been organized, probably beginning the new tournament next week. Practice is scheduled for experienced players every Monday and Friday night. Beginners play at 3:00 on Thursday and officials at 4 :00 o'clock on the same day. The season is being well carried out by Kathryn Abbot, basketball manager. Any girl may receive points toward her reward in the >B Club from coasting. But they must coast on the campus and sign a card as for hiking. The B Club is thinking about sponsoring a trip to Eagles Mere and enjoy the winter sports at the lake. If plans are successful , transporta tion <¦ will be "a la truck. " REQUEST GAMES FOR SPRING BASEBALL CARD Although the basebnll schedule for this spring is not yet completed, some requests for exchanges of games have already been received by Coach Nelson, It is very probable that the team will engage in a pair of games with Lock Haven and perhaps with West Chester. As far back as available record s go, we have not played West Chester during the last ten years. Coach Nelson also states that it la quite likely that Indiana will replace the Alumni for the annual gam e on Alumni Day. With a wealth of experienced and new materi al, a groat team is expected for the coming season. VARIED RADIO PROGRAMS BY AMER.

Following the introduction , the program , under the supervision of Mr. Keller, was con t in u ed by the boys and girls representing the fourth , fifth , and sixth grade of the training school. The children showed a great interest in art. Mr. Keller explained the practical value of art education contrasted to the type where in drawing is the fundamental aim. It is far more essential for boys and girls to recognize and use art in the surrounding environment , rather than to merely develop skill in drawing and painting.
