FACULTY COMMITTEE S. L. Wilson Miss Pearl Mason , , r Published Dur ing the Sshpo l Year 193 4 and 1935 by the Students of the Bloomsburg State Teachers CoJieae TO THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY As retiring editor I take this opportunity to thank the members, of the Maroon and Gold staff for the fine spirit and cooperation shown by them during the past year. I also wish to express my appreciation for the unfailing assistance and helpful advice given at all times by the faculty committee. Nor should the attitude of the college community be overlooked,. for from this body the staff received many worthwhile suggestions, which added to the mechanical make-up of the paper. May all campus organizations be '' as helpful to the incoming editor and his staff.. In "handing- the reins" to Mr. Bevilacqua, who has worked so diligen t ly this year, I wish him all possible success. I hope, as a member of his staff , to help make progressive strides in journalism at Bloomsburg State Teachers College. BERNARD J. YOUNG EDITORIAL JOTS Concerning This Paper This , t he final issu e of the M ar oon and iG'old for the current term, is published under the Editorship of the newly-elected Editor and reveals, to a small extent, a few of the changes advocated for next year's volume. ***** While the nature of the material for this issue was such that the desired changes in make-up and lay-out cou ld no t be effec t ed, the nature of the material on the editorial page alone shows the trend to be continued with the beginning of the next term. Kampus Kulm will be a regular feature of the editorial section next year. And it will not be double column either! Double column is too wide for such a small paper. ***** We can definitely promise no more than two editorials, and only one when possible. One good editorial is better than four or five which are nothing more than "prose parodies of Edgar Guest's poems. v» ** w Poonis ? One good one each issue —if we are able to find a good one ! Letters to Maroon and Gold ? They are welcomed, but names must bo signed. If you 're afraid to sign anything you write, then for heaven's sake use tact and don 't write it. ***** It's customary to congratulate a winning team in any sport, and Bloomsburg students and supporters should make special note of the moat successfu l spring sports program In years and years of athletics on the Mount. There's one thing, though, about these sports programs. There 's t oo much overlapping between baseball and track. That is, there ar e too many baseball players who could contribute more to track and vice versa. ***** And , oh yes, about these trips to foreign soil. When the track, baseba ll , and tennis men leave the campus there remain so few in classes that it makes things rather difficult. That h appen s, of course, only when all the men go away at the same time. Wit From Away Prom Allegheny College comes the following sample of what may be called academic progress— Freshman: I don 't know. Sophomore : I am not prepared. Junior: I don 't exactly remember. Senior: I don 't believe I cun add any constructive ideas to what has already been said. We might add to this a line about what the alumnus says—"Well, I used to know, when I was in college. ***** From the Bucknell paper comes the following, which originally came from somewhere else, which originally came from somewhere else, which orwoll, you know how people will borrow. "When they take co-education away from the colleges what will follow, I repeat, what will follow?" asked a professor of his class at Purdue, A loud , masculine voice in the rear of the room replied, "I will." ***** . How good are you at associating ideas? Then associate with this one for awhile, It comes from the "Bucknelllnn. " • >i _ Beginning with this issue and continuing with each issue in next year 's volume, t he Maroon and Gold will publish a column on the editorial page dealing entirely with events of* the past, as recorded in the f iles, pamph lets, and newspapers available. —a— According1 to the May 28 issue of the Maroon and Gold , way back in 1926, the Bloomsburg tennis team tied a strong team from Wyoming Seminary,, while . the baseball. nine "was contented to take a loss from that same ins t itu t ion, 5-0. :, \ ¦ . — ?— "New Plan For- Maroon And Gold" reads the caption to one of. the editorials appearing in that same issue. The plan called for the publication of a Maroon and Gold every week, summers and all. The students were to receive their copies through the mail, and even prospective students who had just registered were to receive their copies in order that they might get a good cross section of' the institu tion before;they arrived , i—i —i_i— A later issue indicates the method used nine or ten years ago " to fill space in the newspaper. About an inch of space on the back pagt, /eally the second best page in _ paper, was taken up with an announcement of the opening of the Sesqui-Centennial in Philadelphia. It even had a headline. Editor's Note — Wouldn't doubt but what we'll be using the same tactics some day. —?— What did they mean by this—"The picture (referring to a movie) was very much enjoyed, by all, but the moon and the lovely night air encountered on the way home were more enjoyed"? —D— H ere 's a joke which looks very much like the prophecy of a crystalga z er: Jigger—What happened in 1492 ? Al—I don't know, kid. Jigger—Well, whe re is the place to go if you want to find a date ? Al—To the library. —n— The LaSalle Collegian points the story of a student who drank seven cups of coffee for lunch. When a second student exclaimed how he must love coffee, he answered : "Yes, indeed , or I wouldn 't be drinking so much water to get a little." i c > Kay — the end of another semester and an other year !

Coach is attempting to clear away some of the debris collected during the year. A sign in his office last week read , "Fine Quality Gym Bloo m ers, 69c". Several inquiries by interested girls revealed the fact that Coach knew nothing of such a sale; must have been some practical jokers at work.

' The package left on top of the desk in the office was not a bomb as was expected. It contained a note saying the following: "I am the rattler. I warned you last time what I said about vacations must be published. You defied me! Now , you shall suffer! How ? Heh , heh , heh." Here is what Mr. Rattler wanted to publish : ' Dean Sutllff: As the official rattler of this In st i tut ion I want t o warn y ou not to send the grades home during vacation again.

Run Record In the recent Annual State Track Meet at Harrisburg five out of seven Huskies who attended captured individual honors and placed Bloomsburg " third with Slippery Rock for team honors. West Chester with 29 athletes present again won the meet with 73 points. East Stroudsburg with 20 athletes captured second place with 24 points. Slippery Rock's six men tied with Bloomsburg for third. Shippensburg with five t ook four th place with 17 points ; Lock Haven with five athletes took fifth place with 4 poin t s; and M illersville wi th 17 athletes failed to score. Sell , four year track and crosscou n t ry st ar , showed real speed in setting a new state meet record for four-curve track in 880 yard run in 2 minutes 3.7 seconds. Sell's ambition which had been for a long time to win the 880 in the state track m eet , has been realized.

In the three dual meets they scored 203 2-3 points as against 164 1-3 points for their opponents. /Besides these points they placed five out of seven men in the State track meet at Harrisburg, tying with Slippery Rock at eighteen points. During this brief but glorious season of track Blass was the most outstanding figure having 69 points toward the total. His ab31ity to participate successfully in so many events has made him a very valuable man and the principal point getter. Bloomsburg is indeed fortunate to have him two more years. He placed first in nine events, tied for first in one, placed second in four , and third in three. In the State meet he placed third in two and fourth in one event. Sell s graduation is Bloomsburg s loss. For four years he ran for the college in cross-country and track, having served as captain for both . His specialty was the 880, and in winning this event in the State track meet he not only set a new record for the State and School but realized a life 's ambition. In the dual meets he placed first six times, third once, ami tied with a teammate for third In one event. His total contribution was SO 1-2 polntH.

MANAGER Plans for the selectionfootballof another GAMMA THETA UPSILON team All-Teachers-College Considered High Distinction At the annual Founder's Day Banquet of the Delta Chapter of the Gamma Theta Upsilon, a surprise . announcement was made by President Elmer McKechnie, acting toastmaster, of the election of Dr. H. Harrison Russell to the national presidency of the Gamma Theta Upsilon, national professional geographic fraternity. He succeeds Dr. Douglas Ridgley, well known author of several textbooks on geography. Dr. Eussell is well qualified to succeed Dr. Ridgley in this capacity. He received his Doctor of Philosophy Degree in geography from Clark Univ i!i'sity, considf-red one of the greatest institutions for graduate work in geography. He is a member of the National Geographic Society, the requirements of which are to do a certain amount of outstanding research work each year. Dr. Russell has collaborated with another author in compiling a geography pamphlet now In use on our campus. The requirements for admission to this fraternity are based upon a certain number of credits in the field of geography in addition to those which are required. A rating above the av. erage in geography and an accumulative average in general scholastic work above par are also required for admission. At the present time there are thirty chapters scattered throughout the country. This is rather large when taking into consideration the fact that geography as a separate course of study is still in its infancy. Delta Chapter, one of the most active of all has been in existence four years. It has the honor of having one of the most distinguished geographers in the world, Rear Adnvral "Richard E. Byrd , as an honorary member. .

KEHR Dean Kehr, in an interesting talk in chapel Monday, May 20, gave the meaning of the various types of academic gowns worn by graduates. There are many kinds of academic gowns, ranging from the plain black representing the baccalaureate to the those with beautiful hoods given for honorary and doctor 's degrees. The hood used in the gowns has been evolved from tho hood worn by monks in the monasteries. The process of evolution has been a long one, but tho resemblance to the original monk's hood can still be seen, Some of the more handsome gowns have silken bars on the sleeves, which are of various shapes according to one 's degree or field. Light blue used on a gown means the field of educaSTUDENTS WHO GRADUATED tion.
