On Tuesday evening, February 19, Governor 's Plan Would Cut Teachers ' Colleges $500, 000; Some Leaders Prophecy Danger of Such a Move. News from the State Legislature concerning the plans of ¦ Governor Earle has become the subject of much discussion among the students of the College. Especially of interest is the proposal to slash the ap^ propriation of the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges from $3,000,000 t o $2 ,500,000. Whether the plans -will develop or no t is ra t her doub tful , as there are many leaders of both parties who at the present time are opposed to the cut , arguing that such a move will mean destruction to our state . teacher-training institutions. Representative Frank W. Ruth , Democratic floor leader in the House and official Governor 's spokesman , is very much in disfavor of the proposal and even goes ,so far as to suggest an increase in the appropriation to $4 ,500,000. Other leaders do not openly express themselves but claim they are n favor of an "adequate " appropriation. Speaker Wilson G. Sarig, a graduate of Kutztown, is quoted as not favoring a cut. One other member of the House says that it is very unfair to cut the teachers colleges and not such institutions as University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. Ruth also favors the enlarging of the fields in teachers colleges by making them into junior colleges also. Then students who do not vish to t each m ay have t he be n efi ts of the first two years of liberal education, with transferring opportunities to other colleges for the final years. There a r e, ho wever, many who favo r t he G overn or 's plan and will support it wholeheartedly when the issue is met. It seems to be one of the outstanding provisions among the new Governor 's plans, being the subject of considerable comment by newspapers, especially through the editorial pages. Since students at Bloomsburg are directly involved in the results of this proposal , it seems only fitting that the Iota Chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity held a business meeting for the purpose of initiating four new members. The following members were recen tly taken in t o' this fraternity : Alvin Lap inski , William Pietruz iak , Ray Shrope, and Sylvester Fic¦;a. 1NTERFRATERN1TY TRIO MADE THEIR INITIAL ANNUAL BALL HELD TONIT E IN GYM APPEARANCE HERE FRIDAY The Inter-Fraternity Ball ' is to be Harp, Violin, and Piano of Morgan Sisters Receive Acclaim of Influential Europea ns, Including Premiere Musso lini. 'Last night in the auditorium the music lovers received a treat "fit for a king " on Friday, March 1, when the Morgan Trio, composed of harp, violin and piano , enter t ained in the college auditorium. The trio consisted of three Morgan girls: Virginia, Frances, and Marguerite. Virginia, the harpist, has been acclaimed by the crowned heads of Europe. Benito Mussolini , scowling Italian music lover, shouted out loud that she was the best harpist he had ever heard. She and her other two sisters opened the series of wint er mu sicales at t he Whi t e Hou se for the Roosevelts. On her recent tour of the U.

Wilson Miss Pearl Mason News Editor Exchange GirlB1 Sports Features Sports Published During the School Year 1934 and 1935 by the Students of the Btoomsburg State Teachers College WELL DONE So far this year the entertainment courses and the frequent chapel programs have aroused favorable comment among the students. For the presentation of and arrangement for these varied and splendid programs we are indebted to the entertainment committee. That this committee has worked diligently and successfully causes the' Maroon and Gold to take this method of congratulating its members. Some people are prone to say that we students merely call for encores during chapel programs in order to get out of class. In a limited number of cases this might be so, but our waiting over an hour for the Milton Symphony orches t ra , which we enjoyed very much, proves that we have a leaning toward talented entertainment. We might even congratulate ourselves upon good behaviour during these performances. But, argue as much as we wish, we dare not credit ourselves to greatly, for af ter all , our attitudes at the entertainments are caused by one thing— the program itself. Therefore, with all due respect to the ability of our students to be courteous at all times, the success of our entertainment courses this year can be attributed to the entertainmen committee. Psychologists say that one is pleased when he is satisfied . Well, we are pleased. THI NK ABO U T THI S An editorial clipped from the local "Morning Press " shows the typical material now being published in papers throughout the state with reference to Governor Earle's plans to cut the budget for State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania. It is here presented for consideration by students and others interested. "The clouds are already gathering around those who would drastically cut the appropriations for the coming biennium to the state teachers colleges. "These colleges so intimately affec t so many throughout the enti re state that the result could not be otherwise. "It migh t be a fine idea for those interested in the maintenance of the state teachers colleges on their present basis to let Representative McHenry and State Senator Sones know just what you think—they are not wholeheatedly with the state teachers colleges, but they'll appreciate knowing your posi tion." WOULD BE ARTI STS 1 In the last issue of the Maroon and Gold mention was made concerning the possibility of a poetry contest if enough enthusiasm was shown by the students. Since this idea has failed to develop as it was hoped, perhaps interest can be aroused in a drawing contest. Certai nl y, some more or less promising talent has left its mark on much school property about the campus. Perhaps the best way to sponsor this contest will be to go from class room to class room until all hav e been visited. The reason for this action is to determine the best carving, drawing, or whathaveyou on the furnitu re of each room , Then , from the individual winners of each room , together with the bent specimen from the walls of each of the various hallways, will be chosen the grand winner, It might oven be better to choose several winners according to the following classifications: Most beauti ful , Most original, Most comical , and Most artistic. The only catch is that the artist will be unknown and will probably remain unknown—not doslring acclaim. Seriously, how much better we would foel and how much better the school would appear if our numerous erstwhile artists should restrict their pens, pencils, and knives to paper, A certain sketch of a Chinaman might have its advantages in a geography room, but surely not in any other.

Plans are already well, under way and invitations to participate in the tournament have been sent to the various high schools having good teams. William Reed, tournament manager, has announ ced that he expects some of the best teams in this part of Pennsylvania to participate. A total of twenty teams will be selected from those accepting the invitations, eight to play under class A, e,[ght under class B, and four under class C. A. class includes those teams from the larger high schools, B class the middle-sized ones, an d C class the smaller high schools Frackville w as the winner of the A class in the tournament last year after beating out Bloomsburg in a close, fast-moving game. This year she will be compelled to defend her title against other teams in her class. Two years ago, Coal Township was the winner but was un able to enter Oast year because she engaged in the state finals. Coal Township had won the Class A title twice. In the event that they should win again this year they will be permitted to retain permartently the beautiful loving cup offered by the Lettermen's Club to the winner of that class. Montgomery was the winner of Class B last year, an d will en deavor t o keep tha t title from her other rivals. Some of the high schools to whom invitations have been sent but who have not yet been heard from are : ¦Class A — Freeland, Frackville, Sunbury, Allentown, Shamokin, Coal Township, Luzerne, Danville, Williamsport, S o u t h Williamsport, ¦Bloomsburg, Old Forge, Taylor, Berwick, Kingston, West Pittston, Pittston, Forty Fort, Edwardsville, Plymouth, and Mahanoy City.

Carmel Township, Northumberland, Pulaski, and Gilberton. ¦Class C—Aristes, Benton, Numidia, Orangeville, Rock Glenn, Nuremberg, and Lake Township. Season tickets for the tournament will be sold by all members of the Letterman 's Club for one dollar, a very small charge considering the number of games that the bearer of such a ticket will be able to see. The money secured will be used to defray tournament expenses and to buy "B" sweaters for the new athletes of this year.

It is somewhat in keeping with the adage : "The horse which earns the oats never gets them." This may and does apply to many things, and it is true also of our athletic teams and the athletes which form them. Until recently, two Jayvee players, til recently, two Jayvee players, namely Krauss and Kundra , played in the Jayvee games and then sat on the bench during the varsity game, t heir possibilities as real material for the big games apparently unrecognized, or, if recognized at all, with much indifference and little hope. Yet, when these two players were given a chance, prompted by necessity, they made a remarkably fine showing, even outplaying some of the members of the varsity squad. They uppear to have supplied something In our team which it lacked in previous games, and which, accordingly, was reflected upon the student body as evidenced by their cheering during the Millersville game, the best heard this season , Little has been said in praise of the Jayvees team in spite of the fact that it has won every game except the two with .East Stroudsburg.

He said that the gravest danger of war is in the Far East. He felt that the U,S. under its announced policies, had little interest and should let nations interested in Japan's efforts handle the situation. He added that the difficulty in getting world disarmament is that, like the attempt to get prohibition in this country, each party believes the requirements meant only for the other.
