FIRST SIGN OF SPRING Never since the publication of the first issue of Maroon and Gold over ten years ago has a volume been completed without some mention , either edi t or ial or otherwise, concerning st udent s whose hear t s are filled with that satisfied feeling which accompanies the "squashing " noise of feet in mud. "Keep Off The Grass," one issue puts it; "Save Our Grass," another says. But the particular place on the campus which prompted this revival of that ancient sermon is in such a condition that it would be silly to say "Keep Off The Grass," or "Save Our Grass." There is no grass there; it died with the editorials written about it. All that remains as a memorial to the murdered grass is a slightly crooked path of mud leading from a position near the power plant to Science Hall. So popular has the path become among those who are too late to go around by way of the sidewalk that It is now gradually becoming a ditch , well on its way to becoming a trench. So convenient has it proved to those same persons that they oven go so far as to stamp the mud from thoir foot on the sidewalk which they rofuso to use. Just wait 'till that path becomes a ditch. We'll fix 'em; we'll fill it with wator, Then we'll probably have a tbotit problem on our hands, Editor 's Note—Tho above editorial was contributed, which nil goes to prove that someone, other than an editor, feels it his duty to comment on the ngo-old problem of saving the grass. I ©00K REVIEW I THE STARS LOOK DOWN A. J. Cronin At thirty-four, Archibald Joseph Cronin was a prominent London physician whose large practice was killing him by inches. At thirty-five he was the author of a novel which was challenging comparison with the work of Dickens, Hardy, and Balzac. "Hatter's Cast le" was received by the first publisher to whom it was offered. Two years later, with two more books to his credit he was firmly established as a leading novelist. This is a novel of more than a quarter of a million words. The background of the story is England ; the period extends from 1903 to 1933; and the story abounds in characters. The title is intended to transmit something of the aloofness of eternity to the disorder of this earth below the suirt. "The Stars Look D own" is written about life as it is—life full of fineness and charm, full of vulgarness and the socially unfit. Joe Gowlan and Richard Barras cling to one side, both selfish and inprincipled ; while on the other side, Arthur Barras and David Fenwick stand, two idealist s doomed to frustration and cliagrin. The novel concerns primarily two families: the Fenwicks—father, mother , and their sons, a typical miner 's family, simple and hardworking; Richard Barras, the mine owner, his only son, Arthur and his two daughters; Joe Gowlan, pit-boy, bookie's assistant and war profiteer , always the opportunist and sensualist. Two of the women deserve special attention: miserable little Jenny, whom David makes the mistake of marrying; and Laura , who helps J oe secure his place in the world. One pictorial scene succeeds another in rapid sequence. The direful mine disas t er , which profoundly affects the lives of Arthur Barras and young David Fenwick, will u ndoub t ly remain longest in the reader 's mind. Josephine Magee College Brief s Police School At Villanova Villanova College will offer a course i n police w o r k , beginning March 5, wit h fede ral , state, an d loc a l officers , acting as instructors . The course, to be known as the Police School of Eastern Pennsylvania, will be conducted twice a week through March, A pril , and May, and will be taken by students representing police departments from many eastern counties.

Gets Buchanan-Signed Diploma A diploma of Franklin and Marshall College signed by former President James Buchanan while he was head of the College, has been presented to the school by Mrs. Stella Nelson. The diploma , granted in 1800, was signed by many famous Lancaster men. It was issued to Albert E. Carpenter , who died in 1871. New Trustees At Millersvillo Six members of the Milloraville Teachers College Board of Trustees wore asked to hand in their resignations recently. The move whs made by Governor Earlo because ho wished "to make changos in the management of the school." Discuss Key Awards At Shipnenahurg "Those Key Awards" was the subject of one editorial in the last issue of tho Shipponsburg paper. The editorial scores tho present methods of giving keys for service In tho various organizations on tho campus, claiming that, unless a now method Is soon adopted, keys will become choap and meaningless. Associated Collegiate Press Cleveland , Ohio — (ACP) — "Genius, do u b t less, like an army, travels on it s st omach , but what a stomach!" Taking a side glance at "the influence of the st omach on the h um an mind ," Dr. T. Wingate Todd , anatomist at Western Reserve University's school of medicine last week took stock of the results of his nearly 12 years of research on the human stomach. He chose Samuel Johnson as a good example, stating that "there is no doubt at all of Johnson's chronic indigestion and the resultant cantanker ous disposition with which there goes a brilliance of imagery and creative thought. "Benedick 's 'qu ick wit and queasy stomach' (in Shakespeare 's 'Much Ado About N othing') reminds us of the indebtedness of both literature and science to indigestion. "Would Darwi n have framed the theory of evolution had it not been for the imagery created by his chronic indigestion ? "Would Conrad have written his stories had the facts of his experience not been sharpened and amp lified by nervouse dyspepsia ? "How much of Foe's tales of mystery and imagination were due to indigestion? " Scientifically speaking, Dr. Todd reported that 800 experiments on students had revealed that emotional states reduce the stomach's gastric waves of contraction and cause prolonged closure of its outlet. »** Forest City, la.—(A CP)—Freshmen at Waldorf College here have invented a lot of new facts for scientists and educators. -Recent- examination answers revealed the following new facts: 1. Shelly unfortunately died while drowning in the Golf of Leghorn. 2. Dido means the same, and is u su ally rep resen t ed by D ido marks. 3. Romeo and Juliet are an example of an heroic couplet. 4. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost;" then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained." 5. Keats is a poet who wrote on a greasy urn. 6. Robert Louis Stevenson got marri ed and went on his honeymoon. It was then he wrote "Travels with a Donkey. " 7. Robinson Camso was a great singer who lived on an Island, 8. A yokel is the way people tnlk to each other in the Alps. 9.

The manner in which they followed the team from the opening gun of the first game to the last gun of the final game is deserving of commendation—and It Is getting it, in the paperB of other colleges 1 ••Sport Spurts.. Kut z town Teachers , whose dribblers defeated almost every team that happened their way t his season, should have a controlling hand in basketball again next year in view of the fact that they will have the same varsity to represent them as they have now. Claude Heffner, a forward, is a junior ; his cousin, Art, also a forward , is a freshman ; Musso, cen ter , is a freshman ; Dreibelbis, guard, is a sophomore; and St u odt , the other guard, is a j unior. But the MacGovern-coached five will have to keep one eye on Bloomsburg, where the prospects for a good team next year are better than ever. The "R ed Devils" of Shippensburg Teachers College are growing wings. They are asking students for suggestions for a new name, claiming that the name now applied to them is no t official for one thing and is the same one being used at Dickinson College, nearby. Some of the suggestions already under consideration are : Sent inels , Grenadiers , Pioneers (because Shippensburg was one of the first teachers colleges in the Captain Edge Phillips, the only man on the Bloomsburg cage team who will 'be lost through graduation this Spring, is one of the few basketball players in the history of the College who earned a letter four years in succession. Phillips, coming to Bloomsburg from Newport Town ship, where his name was connected with an amateur team from that section , stepped right into a varsity uniform and held on to it since. He played In thirty-six varsity encounters in his first three years at the College, and at Selinsgrove last Saturday night, he brought his total to exactly fifty, a record unsurpassed so far as the record s are concerned . The lOSC captain is noted for his coolness on the floor , and for that reason made one of the best team leaders in recent yearB. The vacancy left by him next year will be a big hole for any understudy to fill.

PHILLIPS PLAYS FIFTIETH GAME AS VARSITY PLA YER: IS GOOD RECORD Only Player On Varsit y Lost Through Graduation This Spr ing SEVEN EARN VARSITY AWARDS FOR SEASON Coach George Buchheit can expect big things on the wooden way next season if experienced players mean anything to a successful season. •Practically the same men will take their position s on th e floor in the opener for 1936 as left it at Susquehanna last Saturday night, only one player, capt ain Edge Phillips, leaving the entire varsity squad. He alo n e will t ake the diplom a rout e f rom intercollegiate cage competition. Only One Senior There will remain on the squad, one man with one year of playing ahead of him, two with two years, and five with three years. Blass, big pivot man for the varsity, will be the only senior; his understudy, Withka , will take the floor as a junior. Both men had good seasons this year, Blass as a regular and Withka as a substantial and valuable substitute. Ruckle, outstanding scorer and leading floor man for the Buchheit five for two seasons, will be the other junior next year. The playing record made ' by the diminutive Junie is probably unsurpassed on any Bloomsburg court team. The speed of this year's team was based almost entirely on him and his fast-breaking companion, Robison. Five Frosh This Year But it is the string of present yearlings on the squad which should make other schools sit up and take notice, there being five who saw some service with the varsity and at least three of them who played in half or more of the games. Banta, Robison, and Smethers have all played active gnmeB since the opening whistle, and Van Devender, who has several quarters to his credit, should likewise come through In another season or two.

CONTINUED FROM SAGE 1 has grown to its present status as the largest honor society of its kind in the world. There are over a hundred active chapters in the country, representing colleges and universities of all sizes. "Scholarships for worth.y st udent s" was one of t he mai n su b jects of discussion at the convention last week. Many chapters maintain scholarships ranging in value from $50.00 to $500.00 a year. M ericle , upon his return to the campus this week, reports the national society in excellent financial condit ion and an active and wor thwhile convocation. He made the trip to St. Louis b y t rain , it requiring over two full days of travel from Bloomsburg. At the various sessions of the convention the local representative met delegates from all over the country, including three or four from Pennsylvania colleges. The m eet ing of ed u cat ors f r om all over the country, also in session in St. Louis, contributed much to the convocation of the fraternity, many of the educators attending both sessions and contributing by offering their services from the lecture platform. Mericle will report the work of the convention to members of the Bloomsburg chapter tonight. Harold Border, newl y elect ed secon d vice-president of the Pennsylvania A ssocia tion of College Stu dent s and one of four student representatives sent by Bloomsburg to the Penn State meeting of the organization two weeks ago, reported the progress of the convention to members of the Student Council last Monday night. The meeting, in general , st retched into world activities which are of interest to youth, including current governmental policies and presentday employment problems. In an opening address to the delegates, attending as representatives from all over the State, Arthur R. Warnock, Dean of Men at the Pennsylvania State College, insisted that "when student governments failed it was because of their own defects." He also claimed that for every domineering student government there are at least ten weak governments. One of the main subects of discussion at the session concerned the problem of athletic subsidization. The association Mocked temporarily a move to favor limited subsidization . of football players. A resolution adop t ed was tha t "college is primarily concerned with education, and the athlet ic policies should be drawn in accordance therewith." The drive for subsidi z at ion wa s led by t he Thiel College football captain and was strongly opposed by delegates from Indiana and California State Teachers Colleges, as well as from Lehigh, and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Dean Marguerite Kehr, Bloomsburg, was one of the speakers during the conven t ion , speaking in favor of the modern student over the student of former days. Others who addressed the meetings included Harry Henderson, editor of the Penn State Collegian , who told what he thought college papers shou ld prin t ; Phili p Evans, executive secretary of the association; Charlotte Ray, Dean of Women at Penn State; and Gertrude Ely, of the women's division of the W. P. A. During the course of the convention problems peculiar to all kinds of colleges and universities were given consideration, there being special and separate meetings for some, such as the Teachers Colleges. Representatives of the Teachers Colleges met on Sunday morning to discuss their problems together. Bloomsburg representatives to the convention report not only a good 'business meeting but a week-end of entertainment as well. JOS. AMBROSE TELLS OF TRIP TO EUROPE AT GEOG. MEET .
