CONVENTION PROGRAM IN FUTURE GOLD DECISION IMPORTANT No Immediate Danger of Conf lict Dr. George Earle Raiguel addressed a house filled to capacity at B. S. T. C. Friday, March 8 on current economic and social trends. In addition to college students, members of the County School Directors Association and members of the commu ni ty attended. Dr. Raiguel stated that issues in Congress are economic rather then political , and he emphasized that a great many compromises would be made because our country is divided into sections and this sectionalism would make necessary compromises on our social and economic problems. In declaring that the future state would be a welfare state, he meant that this country must adopt a social program such as unemployment insurance and old age pensions. Congress will then adopt measures of this nature. The big problem in the future lies in the fact that this social legislation will bring about the accumulation of huge funds and the problem would consist of using these funds without competing at the same time with private industry. The government must take care of t he people, but it must not become a permanent policy. He was opposed to the government paying higher wages than paid by private industry because it would lead to socialism in the end. He maintained that the gold decision handed down by the Supreme Court was their most important one. Please tu rn to page 4 VIOLET BROWN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF Y. W. C. A. Ait the meeting of the Y. W.

Dr. Haas, in his address raised three question: first , "For what individuals is the state to provide public schools?" Second , "What is the nature of the schooling to be ?" Third , "How is the cost to be financed? " In answering tho first question Dr. Haas said that; school s should be provided "for all citizens until vocationally competent. " Nature of tho schooling should be "adapted to the needs and abilities of the individual and the social order.

Wilson Miss_ Pearl M ason Published During the School Year 1934 and 1935 by the Students of the Bloomsburg Stale Teaehef s College A COOPERATIVE PROJECT Some time ago in chapel one of the candidates for editor of the Maroon and Gold proposed that our College newspaper sponsor the establishment of publica tions in those high schools in our service area where there are now no means of literary expression. Almost simultaneous with this suggestion was the inauguration of a plan whereby two schools which could not otherwise afford publications are now given space in the town paper for their weekly newspaper. The two schools—fiVTifflinville and Nescopeck reacted to the plan and have shown the possibilities of print cooperation of a town newspaper. The newspaper lending this cooperation to the public schools is commended by the Maroon and Gold for having initiated what may lead to better understanding and closer relationship between public school systems and state citizens. Of equal value is the extended opportunity for pupils in smaller communities to become acquainted with journalism , not only of their own school but also of the world in general. It is reasonable to believe that those pupils will, upon reading their own sections in the paper drift more or less unconsciously into columns having to do with outside affairs. I JU ST A THOUGHT Now that the basketball schedule has been completed and the baseball , tr ack an d te nnis seaso n s are a r ou n d t he co rn er, it might be well to direct a few words to our athletes, instead of to the student body, as has bee n the case in the past. You have, at some time or other, heard of r idic u le a n d sco r n bei n g ai m ed at t he ph ysically fi t i n div i d u als , who did not represent their Alma Mater in spoi'ts, but who played the role of spectators at athletic contests. They have been accused of being "poor sports." What is your conception of good sportsmanship ? Is it of one who competes for a position on an athletic squad , and after having gained that berth , refuses to give his all to his team and to his College ? Should not the fellow possesses enough intellect to refrain from entering athletics, when he knows that he cannot meet the requirements of the game. EDITORIA L SHORTS Much reaction to the recent announcement of a proposed cut in appropriation of the fourteen state teachers colleges indicates the true sentiment of the citizens of Pennsylvania in regard to the professional training of teachors. ? ? ? ? * Practically every newspaper in the state commenting on the proposal opposed any such legislation as destructive to the cause of public education. t M M And now comes a more recent report to the effect that Governor Earle will study thoroughly the situ ation of teachers colleges not only as a group but individually.

His recent proposal is likewise meeting with much disapproval by tho newspapers, which seem to be In favor of not only keeping the doors of all tho Institutions open but also Increasing the appropriation.

Even our own students would bo somewhat surprised to know tho destinies of teachers college Btudents. ? * * * * Wo estimato that there aro at least 8,500 students getting college educations who would otherwise be unemployed —all because state teachers collogos are close to all majo r towns and cities. »- . ^ A TRUE SP O RTSMAN _—.^ ^ ^ —^— ' ' " Comm ents and crit icism s have been mad e as to the lack of sch ool spirit and support on the part of the student body. If the performers in a contest are themselves lacking in spirit and interest, as has been th e case on a number of occasions , the reaction of the members of the College Community can readily be understood. Let us not lose sight of the fact that we have many fine Sportsmen on our Athletic Squads here at Bloomsburg, and that those who have succeeded in and who have been responsible for the breaking down of the morale of the teams are but few in number. We owe much thanks and appreciation to Coach Buchheit and the men who have brought sports back to Mt. Olympus, but u nless care is taken , there will be a retrogression of Athletics at Bloomsburg. , The spectator owes it to the athlete, and Jhe a thle t e shou ld likewise consider the specta t or , and the criticisms should be constructive on the part of both.

( From, Ken t Sta t er, Kent College, Ohio) Growth of the student government movement reached its highest peak thus far attained when the Tenth Annual Congress of the National Student Federation of America convened in Boston during last Christmas vacation. The voice of the large number of deleegates assembled was as one on major issue of the conven tion: that student governments should have more control and power vested in them now in the hands of college administratoi's. Not only did the student representatives, most of t hem leaders on t heir respect ive campu ses, voice this issue but Dr. Henry N. MaoCracken, president of Vassar College and a prominent figure in the educational world, expressed many of the ideas adopted by the students in his keynote address to the Congress when he urged colleges throughout the United States to extend more power to student council leaders, thereby aid them to gain not only valuable governmental experience but to inject more liberalism into the college system. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a message to the Congress, also urged furtherance of the student government plan. However, the NSFA is not trying to dictate to the faculty and administrative units of the college but merely requests these bodies to allow the student a chance to control himself th rough the Student Council, thereby placing him in a position somewhat similar to that into which he will be shoved soon after graduation. GOVERNMENT BY THE STUDENTS Pittsburg, Kans. (NSFA)—By a sweeping major ity vote in all four classes at aKnsas State Teachers College, a compromise plan for student government, to be inaugurated next fall , was adopted after assembly yesterday. Containing most of the primary features of tho plans ofTerod by the Council and the Senate at earlier conventions, tho new systom of government provides for more and differen t representation. The plan is as follows: one member shall bo elected by tho Pan-Hellenic Council, one by the Inter-fraternity council , one by each class, the four class presidents ex ofFicio , and three members elected at large. Of the three elected at large, the man and woman with the highest votes of the two ¦sexes shall be chosen, with the third member the next highest in number of votes received. Prosentod to tho classes, convened after assembly, by the presidents, the amendment was carried by a majority of about four to one. It is tho product of the work of tho Council Wednosday evening. The Council mooting that time , held to discuss all plans submitted in convention and to select a final one to be submitted for the student voto, was attended by sovoral students not on the Council. Two plans which had received tho largest voto of confidence at the last convention were given primary consideration and the amendment passed yesterday represents a compromise between them. In several respects tho amendment ratified by the students represents a swooping chango from tho present syatom, which provides that each class shall elect two members to the Council, The new system provides that the new council shall bo almost twice as largo in numbers as the prosent one, It will not go into olToct until next fall. The morning dew is fresh and pure Still it evaporat es The fleecy clouds are always sure To change their bulky shapes. All nature changes; ever more The night shall turn to day The young grow old the old restore To earth its common clay. —Sam Cohen PENN 'S W OO DLAND NAMES There are many regions having names which attract the attention of even the most casual reader, but it is obvious that Pennsylvania 's districts, counties, towns, and cities cause the names of other regions to "fade from the picture ". There are so many types of names that it would be more profitabl e to sel ect som e speci fi c t ype , with which we are more or less familiar, than to endeavor to discuss all the array of the entire field. Therfore we shall consider only those names which have some historical significance or traditional derivation. Chilasquaque Croek is a name closely associated with the sport of duck hunting. According to legend an Indian happened along that creek on a cold winter day and found a duck frozen In the thick ice of the creek. He named the creek, "Frozen Duck", or "Chilasquaque Creek", Stillwater Borough wasi named from the condition of Mie water in tho nearby crook. ' Fisherman should be attracted to the banks of Fishing Creek. The turbulent nature of the two streams led to the name "Roaring Crook", and "Roaring Brook", reHpectlvoly. The green appoaranco of tho water in another crook led to tho name, "Green Creel;,".

Ruckle Bernard Kafchinski , known in professional baseball circles as Bernie J. (Elmer The Great) Cobb has been sold by the Detroit Tigers in a deal with the Cleveland Indians and will go t o the Z anesville, Ohio, farm of that club in May. Cobb has made an enviable name for himself in professional baseball and is expected to go places soon. While under ownership of the Tigers last year he played first base with the Charlestown, South * Carolina, Senators, a class B team in the Middle Atlantic League. It was in that city tha t Cobb made a name for himself in professional ball , he having lead the league in bat- ting all season until he was hit in the jaw by a pitched ball and forced from play for the remainder of the season. His average during most of the season stood at about .400 or over in 'batting and about .985 in fielding. Zanesville Winning Nine The Zanesville club, to which Cobb will report after the close of the college t erm this year, has always placed a championship nine on the field. Last season they finished in first place in the same circuit in which Cobb played—bhe Middle Atlantic League. The following clipping comes from a Charlest own, S.C., newspaper: » "Bernard J. (Elmer The Great ) Cobb is a fine ball player, and because he admit s the fac t, he has been dubbed Elmer The Great by Kanawha Park bleacherites—a monicker that is sure to stand as long as he performs in Oharlestown livery.

At that time men will be selected to represent the various positions on the track team. Different track event s will be held on each of the three days. All students are eligible to enter the meet, and each may participate in as many events as he wishes. There is no limit to the number of men that each class may enter. In scoring the first four places count five , t hree, two and one points respectively. Thus a class may take all four places in an event and receive eleven points. Last year the Sophomore class won first place with 59* points to its credit. The Seniors had 47 points, the Freshmen 44 5 point s, and the Juniors 14 points. The standing of the classes of this year will be determined by the members participating. Although it is still early it is not too early to urge each class to "talk up " this event to its members and try to discover their potentialities. There are only a few members of last year's track team left, and so there are excellent opportunities for securing team positions. The track men from last year who are again with us are Captain Sell, Bertoldi , Blass, Cohen, Lau , Line, Howell , "Woody " Litwhiler, Webb and Young. Sell and Bertoldi , two of the best runners Bloomsburg has ever had, will participate in their last season with B.S.T.C. Even though there are only three meets with other state teachers colleges in addition to the state track meet the success of the track team will not be determined by the number of meets engaged in but rather by the number won and the new records established. Last year the track team won every meet and took fourth place in the state meet at West Chester. Several new records were also established. iMenapace, a two year graduate , won the 100 yard clash in 10.2 seconds, taking over the throne established in 1013. The 100 yard high hurdles were won by Blass in 15,4 seconds, and the 120 yard high hurdles by Line in 18.2 seconds. Blass also made the running broad jump in 21 feet one and one-half inches. Shellmmer , last year 's captain , established new discus and javellne records by throwing the discuss 122 feet and four inches and hurling the javelin 107 feet nnd eleven inches, The baseball and tennis schedules for the spring season of 1935 have been released by Dr. E. H. Nelson for publication. The schedules include dual meets with other state teachers colleges both ait home and away. In most cases the two teams will travel together. Almost all of last year's men will again be playing this year. In addit ion , some very promising material is t o be found in new men which will help to strengthen the teams. Both Dr. Nelson, coach of baseball , and Prof. Koch, coach of t ennis, promise to produce teams of high calibre which will provide some real lively competition with teams from other colleges. John Butler is manager and William Turnow assistant manager of baseball. The men left over from the baseball team of last year are Dry and Eokocz, catchers ; Woody Litwhiler, ¦Moleski and Shakofski, pitchers; Beck, center field; Blackburn, left field; Van Sickle, right field , Visotski , short stop; Washeleski, first base; Rompolo , second base; and Kar shner, third base. Kafchinski, better known as Cobby, after an absence of one season will again be with us this year to demonstrate his ability and power to drive balls over the laundry . Cobby will probably play in the outfield this year. Riley and Finder as infielders , and Danny Litwhiler , Dushanko, and Slaven as pitchers will probably give some added strength to the team.

Many Students Ruckle The Day Boy 's Orga n i z a t io n held a party in Science Hall Friday, M arch 8, 1935 at 7:30 P.M. The evening was most enjoyably passed in playing games of pinochle and bingo. Dr. Haas, Dean Koch and Coach Buchheit, who is the Dean of Day ' Boys , gave short interesting talks to the boys. J ohn Gress, President of the Day Boys Organization supervised the entire affair. He was aided by the following people. Sam Cohen was the general chairman. The program committee was in charge of William S. Savage (our famous poet) assisted by Dan J ones , Elmer McKechnie, and 'Blaine Saltzer. Earl Kershner took care of the card play ing and bingo along wi th B runner , Rit chie, and Pursel. Very clever prizes were awarded to the winners of bingo. They say the grand prize, won by Aero Fett erman , was envied by everybody there. The faculty members seemed to snatch the prizes right away from our Day Boys. "Tut—Tut— ." Brown and Gress were in charge of the refreshments which were simply delicious. Hamburg, cheese sandwiches , pickles , pretzles, "dixie cups and popsickles. " Must have been a real party ! RAIGUEL SPEAKS IN CHAPEL Continued from f irst page Contrary to many, it was no t in f avor of the New Deal , and the Supreme Court never renders a decision in favor of the rights of the individual over the rights of the majority. Huey Long, he con siders , is not ignorant , bu t a keen politician and actually puts his ideas into operation. Any turning away from Roosevelt will be in the direction of such men as Long rather than to the old order. Dr. Raiguel devoted little time to international affairs , but cited that Italy is being allowed to take colonies in Africa and predicted Germany will soon demand the return of some of her colonies in Africa and will get them. He said that there will be no immediate danger of a conflict due to the compromises with Germany. He said Japan is only doing in Asia what Italy is being allowed to do in Africa. China is aware that the occidental powers are not going to war to save her from Japanese aggressions and is therefore coining to an agreement with Japan concerning Manchuria.

To use this to the Rowlands 17 best advantage we must obey the laws Kund ra 7 of health but these laws must be Krauss 7 adapted to our individual capacities. Litwhiler 1 The mental self insludes the senses Gering : 1 which provide a receiving mechanism, Riley 3 the memory or recording mechanism Finder and the directing mechanism which is intelligence and will. Some of our behavior , such as reflexes and ins t inc t s, is automatic by inheritance. We acquire considerable automatic behavior in the form of habits. The mind and the will direct what is called voluntary behavioi'. The individual's motive power lies in his desires , emotions and will. "Tell me wha t yo u desire and I can t ell you what you will become" Emotions give color t o lif e and ext ra strength in times of need. If expressed they are dangerous because of their suddenness and violence. They are equally dangerous if repressed. The individual must learn to give emotions safe and free expression. The will gives motive power for the long pull. uur stock-taking should also include our social abili ties and our moral or religious self. Knowing ourselves should inspire us t o develop ou rselves beca u se all of the aspects of personality may be improved by attention and effort. The following items form a "Know Thyself" test: How is my physical efficie n cy ? Ar e m y sen ses as ke en as they migh t be ? Is my recording mecha nism good ? Is it recording good things ? Am I using all the intelligence I have ? Are my habits my servant or master? Are my mind and will in control of my actions ? Are my desires pulling me forward or dragging me back ? Are my emotions wild or tamed ? Is my power strong enough ? Am I the Master of my fate, the Captain of my Soul ? Am I making myself socially desirable ? Have I morality or a religion strong enough to hold me steady ? Am I satisfied with myself? has con side r ed bu ilding a cabi n, has back as when he m ade his fi rst t rip recent ly f urthered i t s plans an d now to Charlestown while playing last announces a contest open to all members of the College community, including the faculty.

Hobbies an d special i nt er est s are real helps toward happiness. The person with a variety of interesting activities waiting for him has provided himself with insurance against boredom and narrowness. Humor and tolerance ease the strain of life and therefore make for happiness. The road to happiness cannot travelled alone. We need friends—the greater variety the better. There are friends whom we need , those who need us, and our "pals". Riches of the mind and the ability to see beauty everywhere will add to happiness. The technique of enjoyment includes learning to enjoy simple things, learning to enjoy a variety of things, and learning to enjoy without possessing. Selfishness and happiness cannot exist together.
