Under the able leadership of Robert Borneman , this active group has really accomplished something in the way of giving us an interesting and varied series of programs in chapel. Many times in the past, the program has consisted of nothing more than the reading of the Bible, announcements and a short period of singing. This condi tion could not be blamed on anyone in particular, rather on the general apathy and lack of in terest. Mr. Fenstemacher, facu lty member in charge of the committee , did his best bu t he could not get sufficent cooperation from the student body. Ho w ever , the situation is quite the reverse this year. Aided by a livewire student chairman and assisted by an able committee, Mr, Fensternaclicr has seen that we have some excellent and instructive programs every Monday and Friday morning. We feel sure that the entire college community completely enjoyed the progra m presented by the Freshmen du ring customs und also that which the Sophomore Class gave more recen tly, Mention should also be given to the musical programs presented at various limes throughout the current year by the more talented students of our school. We nre strongly in accord with the policy of student participation in the bi-weekly progra m and hope that the future will see its continuation. Already the committee is looking forward to tho Amateur Progra m sched uled for Friday, December 8. Only Ihrough the continued cooperation of the student body will the success of this venture be assured. So le t 's all get behind this committee , Mr. Borncman und his cohorts have given the ball its initial push—let's keep it rolling! \ j WINDSOR CASTLE Windsor Custlc , one of the .several royal palaces of Great Britain , together with its many buildings , parks and forests, occupies an area of 13,000 acres and is 90 miles in circumf erence.

Letters to the Editor App reciation of Thanks giving A 29-year old brick-layer, Pietro Di Donato, has written a popular first novel about Italian-American bricklayers, and has appropriately ..tied it "Christ in Concrete." Geremio is the foreman of a group of workers who are erecting a large ouilding. He complains several times to the authorities about the poor material used in the work, of ten asking v.0 have more cement put in the mortar. His requests are repeatedly refused. A group of workers meet death when the partly finished building collapses. Geremio suffers the worst end of all, being buried alive under ¦a mass of concrete. The horror of such a catastrophe is poignantly described. Af ter Geremio's death the family of ten finds itself dependent upon the father's brother-in-law, Luigi, who provides for them until he himself is made helpless when a heavy falling rock" crushes his legs and cripples him for life. The burden of supporting the family then falls on the shoulders of twelve year old Paul, Geremio's eldest son. Although overcome by heart attacks, the boy always goes back to his job until he is finally recognized as a bricklayer and receives as much pay as the older men with whom he works. Paul later feels the full wretchedness of his trade when he sees his godfather plunge to death from a scaffold to the sidewalk twenty stories below. This last accident results in Paul's loss, of faith in God. He breaks away from his fellow men. He no longer attends church. He goes so far as destroy a crucifix which his mother, Annunziata, offers him. This sacriligio us act drives Annuziata to such a hysterical rage that she beats her son . Then she falls ill. She calls her children to her bedside, forgives Paul, and commends the younger ones to his care. After her death he becomes the sole support and binding tie of the family.

W. 535 Monroe Street, Berwick, Penna., October 1, 1939 To the Editor of Maroon and Gold: Should Bloomsburg State Teachers College permit a smoking-room for girls? My answer is an emphatic "no." It may be argued that today men and women are socially equal. In many instances this is unquestionably true. None can deny that men and women alike are permitted freedom of speech , and press, and political equality. None can deny the assertion that each holds his own place in the field of business. "Why," it may be asked , "if man 's morals do not suffer because he sm okes , should woman be denied this privilege? Just what is wrong with givi ng the girls a room in which they may smoke, since many of them so persistently smoke in places which they falsely believe to be beyond the scope of the critical eye?" My answer is this, can you deny them the liberty of smoking on the campus if you concede them a special room for this purpose? This is illogi cal. Smoking is not merely detrimental to woman 's complex nervous syBtem, but the colatile alkaloid of nicotine is highly poisonous to her delicately built body. You may sneer. Did you never hear a doctor advise women not to smoke because of nicotine 's insidious ecects on childbirth? Must convention be defied so daringly? Must women lost their effeminacy to masculinity?

For some time now we've been puzzling our brains over a phenomenon which has shaken the foundations of our dayroom . The select few, who are "in the know " have been chasing the others around the room looking for those "little black things that are on the wall." To our dismay no one has been able to find any as yet. Among the "meanies" who won't tell is Martha McHenry . Lets gang up on her. Line forms on the right, girls. Come into the dayroom any time between classes and you will always find girls lined up along the windows watching classes change. Now, of cou rse, I would be the last one to suspect anyone of ulterior motives, but , confidentially, it is a ringside seat to watch that certain "someone" go to class. Now, understand, I'm not saying that's what they 're doing th ere—far be it from me—but, with all due respect to our revered faculty, I do n't think it is our faculty who inspires that dreamy, helpless look. Hunting season comes in every day at 4:00 P. M. in the girls lunchroom. Af ter that hour anything and everything found there-abouts, which is edible, is fair game for a day girl. Lunch bags are ransacked by the ravenous mob (figuritively speaking , of course) and nothing is left but unwashed jars and sacks sagging on the crumb spatttred tables. Looking in , you know it is time to go home. School won 't begin again until the tables are filled with plump, well-fed lunch bags the next morning. We upper-class women should stick up for our Frosh (especially since they 're our housekeepers) and see that they get an even break from the masculine side of the house. Some of the Frosh fellows simply can't make up their minds which girl to take where. One fellow asked four girls and finally decided to go with a fif th who was off-campus . The catch was that he forgot the little item of notifying each rejected candidate. Another slight catch was the fact that a couple of the girls got together and found out to their amazement that they were dated with the same fellow on the same night, for the same place. Moral:—One at a time is plenty— oven for a Frosh. Where is the most popular spot in the dayroom? Three guesses and you 're wrong each time. Our big, full-length mirror, of course. Between classes there are one or two in front of it all the time. During the class period we find someone looking in that direction on the average of every three minutes. At noon, before oi af ter school, it is practically a physical impossibility to get within seeing distance of it at all. Crowded four or five deep, you become wedged between a couple of other Cleopatras, and fixing your eye on a dark spot in the mirror (which you think is your hair) proceed to do what is necessary. A great deal of imagination is required at this point because as you work your way through , closer to the mirror, it suddenly dawns on you that it has been hair belonging to someone else on which you have been concentrating; not your own.
