SHAKESPEARE 'S " TWELFTH NIGHT "
CHOSEN FOR DRAMATIC PRODUCTION

Work is already underway in preparation for the eight annual Kiwanis-Rotary Night, which will be given,
Thursday, March 12. This annual
affair , which is sponsored jointly by
the two Bloomsburg service clubs and
the College community, has always
been an exampl e of good cooperation
between the tow of Bloomsburg and
the Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
The program is divided into three
distinct parts, beginning with dinner
MARJORIE BEAVER
in the dining room, for all members
of the Kiwanis and Eotary clubs and

DANVILLE GIRL WILL
EDIT COLLEGE PAPER

New Plan Keeps Student Inform ed Of His Scholasti c
Pr ogress
Beginning this semester a new
schedule of grade reports will be in
effect , according to official announcement made by Dr. Francis B. Haas.
The new plan calls f or the issu an ce of
grades every nine-weeks instead of
every six weeks, as has been the practice for the past three or four years.
Under the new plan each instructor
is required to advise all students who
are failing or on the verge of failure,
and to hold conferences with those
students. Statements informing the
Dean of Instruction that the conferences were held must be turned in at
the time of the meetings.
Members of the faculty have been
working on the plan for over two
years and see in it many distinct advantages over the old one. It gives
failing students a better understanding of their scholastic progress and,
at the same time, offers them more
time to remedy the conditions before
they have lagged too far behind their
classmates. The conferences offer
the student an opportunity to hear his
instructors criticisms and suggestions.

TWO FACULTY LECTURES ON
RECENT Y.M.C.A. PROGRAM
Members of the College Y. M, C. A,
hoard two faculty speakers at their
regular meetings recently. Professor
John Fisher talked on the subject,
"Modern Hazards to Personality," at
the meeting of Wednesday, February
12, while Professor Harvoy A. Andruss spoke on "Congress and tho
National Debt," on February 5. A
general discussion , open to every
member of the organization, followed
the nddress by Professor Andruss.

Now

Marjorie Beaver, sophomore from
D anville , will edit the Maroon and
Gold next year , having been elected
¦by the Community Government Associationl in. chapel, -Wednesday, February 19. Miss Beaver won the office
over two other nominees.
The election was held in the usual
manner, with each candidate expressing her views on j ournalism in a short
speech before the entire student body.
The editor-elect, in her add ress,
upheld the policies and practices of
the present volume of the Maroon
and Gold and added that she is in
favor of the addi tion of a column
consisting of signed student opinion.
She explained that the column may be
operated by having a particular issue
or question of general interest to the
College established for every number
of the paper. A variety of students,
representing all factions or interests
on the campus, would then be asked
to contribute to the column.
Miss Beaver has had experience in
journ alistic work both at Bloomsburg,
where she has been a member of the
staff for two years, and at the Danville High School, whore she was
graduated in 1934. As a member of
the Maroon and Gold staff the newly
elected editor recently won an advancement to the office of managing
editor. She served on the Handbook
committee last year and will act aa
editor-chairman of the committee for
the next year. She is also secretary
of the present sophomore class.

Five Students Initiat ed
Last evening in the College auditorium the local chapter ot Alph a Ps|
Omega, national honorary dramatic
fraternity, initiated five students into membership, The mooting was in
charge of Miss Alice Johnston, director of dramatics, and Bernard Young,
president of the fraternity.

Mr. and Mrs. James Henry White,
well-known lecturers who appeared at
Bloomsburg during the 1935 summer
session, will return to the College
lecture platform on March 3 to speak
of China , a country in which they
have spent a large amount of time.
Mr. White will speak twice, once in
chapel and once during the afternoon,
while Mrs. White will speak some
time during the day on the subject of
Chinese literature. The chapel lecture will be illustrated with lantern
slides which were colored by Chinese
artists and which are probably unsurpassed in workmanship. Another
feature pf the visit of Mr. and Mrs.
White is the exhibit of enlarged pictures typifying Chinese life, which
will be placed in the lobby for use by
students during the day.
The China dep icted by Mr. White is
not that ordinarily shown in moving
pictures and illustrated in textbooks.
Eaither, the prominent lecturer shows
the cultural side of Chinese life, a
phase commonly overlooked by lecturers and authors. Mr. White is a

FIVE YEAR MEMBERSHIP
BRINGS NDJECOGNITION
Certificate Is Reward For Hundre d Per cent Faculty
Enr ollment
The National Education Association awarded Bloomsburg State
Teachers College a certificate and
gold seal recently as indication that
faculty membership in the Association has been a hundred percent for
a period of five years.
The certificate, now in possession
of Miss Pearl Mason, librarian, was
issued this year for the first time,
and is given only to those institutions
having an entire faculty membership
in the national association of teachers. A gold seal is added for every
five-year period.
All Bloomsburg instructors are
also members of the Pennsylvania
State Education Association, Miss
Mason said.

One of Shakespeare's most successful plays, "Twelfth Night," has been
selected for public presentation in the
College auditorium by the Bloomsburg Players, Friday, April 3. Announcement of the decision to present
the play was made last week by Miss
Alice Johnst on, director of dra m atics,
immediately after the proposal made
by a play-reading committee had been
unanimousl y approved by the club.
Revival of Shakespearean Drama
Selection of the play, so often termed "the happiest and loveliest of all
Shakespearean plays ," marks the
first public presentation of Shakespearean drama in ten years at Bloomsburg, and the second such dramatic
production in the history of the College. The other play, "A§ You Like
It," was presented under the direction
of Miss Johnston during her first
year at Bloomsburg.
The play to be presented here in
April is the regular English version,
so popular on the professional stage
in America and England. The play,
as written by William Shakespeare,
was based on a story which was currently popular during the sixteenth
century, though it took the touch of
the,,master-handed .English.,dramatist
to prepare it for a^ .place among the
immortal dramas of hte world.
Miss Johnston plans to begin casting for the production immediately.

Four Representatives Go To
State College P.A.C.S. Conflab

The purpose of the conference is to

TO THOSE WHO HAV E HEARTS

"BOLD BLADES OF DONEGAL"
Seumas M ac Manus
This novel is an unusual one in that
it is the adventures of small boys told
in a manner interesting to older
people.
The Bold Blades of Donegal were
Dinny O'Freel, who tells the story ;
Tool O'Gallagher, commonly called the
Vagabone, and the M aecen , a professional beggar 's son.
Many adventures befall these young
patriots. They live over again Irelands struggle for freedom from England , and figh t again such famous
battles as Limerick and Athlane
Bridge. Punishment always followed
these escapades, but no thing daunted
their further efforts to free Ireland.
There are no really tense moments.
It is just the story of three boy adventurers. All the characters are likeable and life-like. Dinny and the Vag
are , of cou rse, our favorites, for they
are real boys , ready for any adventure , regardless of the outcome.
The novel is rather difficult to read
because it is written in Irish dialect.
This of course adds to the unusualness and interest of the book, but it
also makes it necessary for the reader
t o read every word so that he will
not lose the thread of the story.
The author gives us a very go'od
background of Irish life and the Irish
struggle for freedom. Even to the
younger boys this struggle was important, and in their play they enacted many of the major battles.

Returning to the College for a

ago was so surprised at the pleasant

Day Women that she was prompted
to tell of conditions when she was a
day student here.
At that time the room was located
on the basement floor just off the
stairs leading down from the gym
door. That small room, dark and uninviting, because it had only one window, contained a few lockers and two
showers for all the day women of the
College . In that room the women
took their showers, ate their lunches,
and kept their coats. They hung their
coats over the shower partitions.
Later the room was changed to the
rooms now known as tho social

Bloomsburg 's gridders next year
may have a real problem on their
hands , especially if their newest
opponents, the Crusaders of Susquehanna University, take the training
of their coach too seriously, or perhaps in the wrong way. Believe it or
not Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, Jr., is
teaching his football players the art
of tap dancing.
The neighboring mentor is working
under the firm belief that it takes
rhythm and grace to advance the ball
down the field. He sits on the bench
every day and wa tches, while his
proteges , under expert direction of a
trained tap dancer, go through all
kinds of rh ythmic motions with their
feet.

A writer for the Shippensburg
weekly, "The Campus Reflector,"
expresses the opinion that
Bloomsburg has a better cage
team than Ku tztown. He writes,
"Kutztown is claiming the
mythical state shampionship already upon the wooden way
where basketball men perform.
According to the Sunday morning papers, the Keystone five
practically has the title hanging
in their trophy rooms. -Kutztown
has not defeated Bloomsburg. In
our judgment , Bloomsburg has
the better team."

Af ter winning six successive Teachers College games the 1936 edition ' of
Bloomsburg's basketball representatives suffered a let-down from their
pace-setting style of playing and
succumbed to a clicking Lock Haven

night, 37-29.
The Buchheit team was able to hold
its own during the first half of the
game, but when they returned to the
court at the beginning of the second
half they lacked the speed and accuracy whiflh had taken them to their
western invasion undefeated. While
the Huskies were finding the hoop

were able to sink sixteen field goals.
Both teams converted five out of six

WRESTLING AGAIN SUBJECT
OF DISCUSSION ON CAMPUS
At the time this issue of the paper
wont to press the popular sport of
wrostling once more became the subject of discussion among those who
were out for that sport last year.
Dr. E. H. Nelson posted a notice yesterday asking all men interested to
report to him.
Lack of enough paddlos in suitable condition has temporarily halted
the doubles ping-pong tourney, However, Sam Cohen, promoter of the
event, has set the new date for startIng1 at Monday, Feb, 24, regardless of
the nurabor or condition of paddles,

39-34 LOSS 10 INDIANA
Foul Shooting Is
Poor

***

Spectators ' claim that if the
baskets were placed on the sealing of the gymnasium where the
game was played at Stroudsburg on Wednesday night, Bloom
would have won. The ball was
constantly hitting the ceiling of
the low-built gymnasium, especially the shots coming from Ruckle, who usually arches hjs shots.
The game was transferred to
the armory floor at Stroud because the college floor was out
of condition at the time.

With the approach of the last
sound of basketballs swishing through
the cords for this season, Dr. E. H.
Nelson sits for hours at a time wondering how the Huskies are going to
continue their winning streak on the
dusty diamond.
Baseball talk is in the air again,
and it will be only a matter of about
a week , or less, before visit ors to the
gymnasium will be seeing, not swishing basketballs but hot baseballs. Dr.
Nelson expects to issue a call for
battery candidates within a week.
Others will be called out just as soon
as Old Sol wins his battle with King
Snow and Mud.
The 1936 schedule, while not complete, already lists ten games, two
each with M illersville, Shippensburg,
Lock Haven , Mansfield, and Susquehanna. Games may also be arranged
with Bucknell, Stroudsburg, Kutzt own, and Indiana.
Looking over the pre-season prospect s, Dr. Nelson can expect another
good season, with at least ten veterans from last year and a wealth of
good, green men attending the College
for the first time. Woody Litwhiler
and Whitejr Moleski, dependable pit*
chers from last y ear, will again be
available for mound duty this season,
while Slaven and Du Shanko, also
veteran hurlers, should be ready to
answer the call for service again this
year too. Catchers are either missing or are dodging the pre-season
dopes t ers , because Larue Derr stands
alone for battery service behind the
plate just now.
Yeteran inf ielders are Rompalo,
Finder, and K arshner, all hard-hitt ers and fas t fielders , while Welliver,
who saw service as an outfielder last
season , is again expected to find a
position for himself when the umpire
cries "play ball" for the first time
this year. Dr. Nelson is still sticking to his baseball philosophy of "if
you can hit 'em. I'll teach you to
field 'em ," and he expects a great
amount of responce to the first general call for candidates.

Stepping to the front in the last
minutes of a hard fought game, Indiana Teachers College defea t ed the
Huskies by the score of 39 to 34. The
game was played an the Indiana floor
last Saturday.
Bloomsburg outplayed the boys
from Indiana but failed t o convert
their foul shots into points; out of 18
foul t rys they "hung up " only 8
poin ts. In field goals, however, the
Maroon and Gold team had an advan***
tage of 13 to 12.

NEW AUTUMN SETTING
Annual Celebration Move d Up
Because Of Autumn
Colors
With the view of fitting the annual
campus festivity into a time of the
year when the color of the Autumn
foliage blends better with the College
colors , Homecoming Day for next
year has been moved up on the calendar to October 24.
The change is believed to be just
enough to place the annual celebration for alumni and parents in a beautiful Autumn setting, when the maroon and gold colors of the College
will fit perfectly into the colors of the
grove and the hills across from the
campus.
Also affec ted by the change is the
always-colorful football game, which
has prev iou sly b een a ba ttle with
either East Stroudsburg or Indiana
Teachers, but which next year will be
played with Mansfield as the opposing eleven.

COLLEGE POETRY NOTEBOOK
Students usually think of Dean of
Instruction, William B. Sutliff , in
connection with schedules and grades,
but those members of the Poetry Club
who have been doing work on the
poetry notebook now recognize him
as a poet of more than amateur
ability.
During the past few month s Mr.
Sutliff has written and submitted to
the Poetry Club at least a dozen
poems, pertaining to campus views,
such as the lighted tower of Carver
Hall at Christmas time, the plant and
animal life in tho lagoon, certain of
the trees on the campus, and other
landmarks which go to make up
a representative cross-section of
Bloomsburg.
Six of the poems have already been
