Mr. Terry, upon the request of the class and teacher, Miss Edna J. Hazen , held two mock interviews in order to demonstrate techniques used by superintendents in questioning prospective teachers. The first "applicant" was Frances Cerchiaro. Miss Cerchiaro was interested in a first grade vacancy. Both this interview and the one following in which M urray Hackenburg applied for a sixth grade position , stressed the importance of sincerity and polite interest.

A new theme prevailed this time as "St at ion BSTC" took to the air waves from its "studio" in Carver Hall Auditorium. Sponsor of the program was the "Nitecap Brewing Company," makers of that "smoo-o-o-o-o-th" drink. Ben Burness, master of ceremonies for the "Variety Hour," was introduced by Charles Edwards. Following the broadcast plan , the show opened with a "word from the sponsor " as the emcee offered a demonstration of the sponsor's product to the radio and studio audience , acclaiming its many characteristics and high qualities to his listeners. Edgar "Sonny " Coleman was first of the talent as he sang two numbers in his mellow baritone voice. His selections were "The Very Though t of You " and "Happy Times." Accompanying him at the piano was Jean Ruckle. A pleasant surprise was in store next as Tom Jones, a sophomore , displayed a talent he has been hiding for the past year and a half. His marimba rendition of "Gloworm " was enthusiastically received, Piano accompaniment was provided by Dick Wagner. Joe Curilla and Aleki Comuntzis, a familiar campus vocal duo , were next on the program. Their offering was "You Are Free." Mondo Comuntzis was their accompanist. Another "word from the sponsor" was provided by emcee Burnoss , who appeared before the studio audience in a chef's attire with a table of ingredients before him from which he attempted to demonstrate the process by which his sponsor's product was prepared. Mixing together various portions from the flasks before him, a cloud of smoke arose , bringing to an end the commercial, Music followed the melee as Emory Rarig and Dick Wagner took their places at the two pianos to ivoryize the ever-popular "Donkey Serenade," by Rudolf Friml.

The Summer Institute for Social Progress at Wellesley, Massachusetts invites you to attend its sessions. The National Student Association is offering scholarships awarded not on a scholastic basis but upon recommendations as to citizenship and interest in social affairs. U.S.N.S.A. will be awarded at least five such scholarships — each scholarship covers all expenses for tuition , room an d b oar d (b ut not transportation ) for the twelve day conference , July 1-15 , 1950 , on the campus of Wellesley College. This institute uses the college classrooms, dormitories and groun ds to allow adults an opportunity to share their thoughts on the controversial issues of the day. These groups of people include persons f ro m .China , Poland , A u stria , In dia and other countries. Those from this country come from luxurious offices , f rom tenant f armers shacks in the deep South , from crowded school rooms, from small town civic cl u b , home kitchens, pulpits and medical clinics . The Institute has b'een a growing concern for over fifteen years. It has led its members to new sources of reading and to partici pate in group endeavors in their own communities. It brings home fresh realization that the power of citizenship is ours in thes e United States if we believe we have it and have the will and ability to use it. Certain ly there is someone in this school interested in such a fine opportunity. Wh y not app ly for the scholarship? If interested, please see Lois Dzuris or Norman Kline, co-chairmen of the N.S.A. campus committee. The applications must be in by May 1st , so don ' t delay. Toda y is St. Patrick 's Day . . . Saint Patrick , t h e patron saint o f I r el an d , has been honored and the anniversary of his death , March 17, 493 , has been celebrated in America since early times , an d in many ways. The story of Saint Patrick is an interesting one. According to Roman Catholic authorities he was born at Kil patri ck , near Dumbar. ton , Scotland , in the year 387, When he was about sixteen years of age , he was carried off by a band of Irish marauders. While in captivity for six years , he tended the herds of a high priest. During this time he became subject to religious emotion and beheld visions which encouraged him to escape. In 433, after some study, he went to Ireland as a missionary. He is now celebrated as Ireland' s Patron Saint since he was one of the great founders and sta tesmen of the Christian reli gion . The Druids resented his arrival and took him captive many times. He lived until March 17 , 493, and was buried in a shroud made for him by St. Brigid in the place on which in later years the Cathedral or Down was built. The anniversary of the Saint is celebrated as Ireland' s national holiday. He used to be pictured as a comic Irishman , but William Yeats and Lady Gregory put forth their efforts and together , by means of their writings , have made people aware of Irish tradition , beauty, and color. Saint Pa trick is commemorated each year by everyone , though they aren 't of Irish descent , in America. He is remembered with parades , dinners, and programs. For the "Emerald Isle " we wear his color of green. Green is everywhere on March 17, The traditional shamrock comes from the story that the patron saint , while preaching Christianity, plucked a shamrock from the ground to show the Divine Trinity . Today, the seventeenth of March , let 's all celebrate St. Patrick's day, and commemorate this great Christian leader, (me ) "Variety Hour " (Continued from page 1) Grab your plaid shirts and dungarees for the big Sadie Hawkins square dance tonight.

Annual College Basketball Tournament Produces Share of Thrills and Action ~ ' * Tournament Curtain Rings — — : r— \ Three Teams Emerge Victorious in Initial Pinochle Tournament For the last two weeks, lounge gossip has centered on the closely contested pinochle tournament which was sponsored by the Social and Recreational Committee. Student interest was intense as the contest got off to a flying start on March 7 with twelve two-man teams competing. The tournament was set wp on an elimination basis. Three games are played between competing teams. Th e winner of t wo ou t of the thr ee games remain s in the t our n ament , the loser is eliminated.

WHY R ead It? by Jack Reese Just what does the reading of a book mean to you ? Whether you are a good , bad, or indifferen t r eader , can you put a finger on any benefits which you derive from reading, whether the book itself is good, bad , or indifferent ? In the first place it would be logical to determine by what standards a book is to be judged. When is a book good or bad ? Why is it that some books make the best seller lists while others head the least seller lists ? It has come to the attention of many that in numerous cases a book has received international acclaim which had no business even being published. The. assumption then is that the taste of the reading public is the main steppingstone as far as book sales are concerned. Writing books is a moneymaking business and writers are going to produce the kind of reading material that the public desires. In other words, all one has to do to determine the reading taste of a particular nation or area is to consult the book sales lists for that region or whatever it might be. Reading, to me, is much more than ju st a way of learning. It is a recreational habit developed out of interest to read what the public is clamoring for, thereby, giving me a way in which to judge whether or not my reading taste coincides with that of the reading public in general. How many persons do you know that have read a book because someone else passed good j udgment on it, only to comment upon it after reading that it was a poor piece of literature ? This has happened to me and no doubt it has happened to you, but the question involved is whether or not we go on reading those books recommended from the reading tastes of this nation's vast reading public. It is very interesting to note that the majority of what is commonly called the popular reading public still read those books which are in demand only because the majority of readers select those books as the ones to give them recreation or whatever it is they are after. This brings us down to the way in which we are to decide whether or not to spend those several free hours in the evening in reading a particular novel or what have you. In the Sunday editions of this nation 's leading newspapers are book review sections which describe, analyze, recommend, or condemn all the new books on the market. From these book reviews, one can decide quite accurately and honestly if the particular book in mind is one worth reading. The writers reviewing books week after weelc arc professionals but they are, in my estimation, no different from the reading public for whom they are writing their reviews. There are those who are hard to please, almost unj ust in their opinions, an d pass good j udgment on comparatively few books. There are also those who rec- Down Tomorrow Night With ¦ Class A Title at Stake¦ The college high school basketball tourney ran on in full swing last week with the number of contenders reduced to half the number of entries. On Tuesday evening, March 7th , Rock Glen pulped Monroe Township by a 61-17 count. Croll, lanky center for the Blue and Gold of Rock Glen hooped 22 points to lead the scoring of that battle. In the seven o'clock game, Scott maintained a 23-13 lead at half time then coasted to a 58-35 victory over Moscow. Ririgtown was no match for highlytouted St. Vincents as the Saints walloped the Maroon and Gray, 5330. The tilt was a see-saw battle throughout the first stanza, but after th a t , St. Vincent went ahead, n ever to be caught. The feature test of the evening pitted strong Pringle and Dalton. With the combined efforts of Cannon and Kalish, who each dumped in 17 poin t s, the Pringle squad drubbed Dalton 53-35. On Wednesday evening, St. Marys, class C powerhouse, slaughtered Kingston Township by an 88-65 score. St. Ed's of Shamokin and Forty Fort played the most exciting game of the night before the Shamokin five eked out a 49-46 verdict. Burke paced the winners with 17 markers. Paced by Haertsch, who dropped in 14 tallies, Butler Township eliminated Hughesville 68-40 in a class B fracas. Danville and Ashland opened the cla ss A sect ion of the tourn am ent with Ashland' hammering out a decisive 74-35 romp over the Danville boys. Bill Dando, all-around Ashland athlete ripped the cords for 20 points. After a day 's layoff , the elimination process began again on Friday nigh t, March 10th, with Nescopeck and White Haven battling. The fray was a close affair for three quarters. The most thrilling game of the tournament up to that point came about when Newport Township tripped Tamaqua 55-53 in the waning seconds of the ball game. Sunbury edged Nanticoke in another thrilling fray. The entire game saw the lead change hands several times before the Blue and White Sunbury quintet won 47-45. Saturday evening Rock Glen breezed by Scott Township by a 51-28 margin. In the seven o'clock tilt , powerful Shickshinny walloped a hapless So. Williamsport five 60-38. Dickson and Freeland M.M.I, provided the closest fracas of the evening by battling it down to a 42-35 count before the Dickson five won. Mt. Carmel proved to be no match for the Berwick Bulldogs as they thumped Mt. Carmel 68-48. Berwick's fast break attributed to much of the margin, as they wore down the rivals early in the third period. c- ommend practically every book they are assigned to read and if you go by their opinions, you will be performing the same job they are only you as the reader will not be getting paid for it. Then there are those who would hardly know the difference between good and bad literature, so as not to qualify in their title as book reviewers. The one advantage we have is to be able to choose from week to week our favorite reviewer, or reviewers If there happens to be more than one. Being only human and prejudiced , if we enj oy our favorite reviewer's analysis of a certain book, we will probably make arrangements to secure that book and read it . . . good, bad , or indifferent. Perhaps, it is not as important WHAT we read just so we read it and can form an honest opinion within our own minds as to whether the book was worth the time we spent in reading it. One thing is certain, h owever , and that is there is only one way to find out about a particular book's worthiness . . .

Fourth Annua l Sales Conference Att racts Man y to Campus Several hundred people visited our campus to attend the Fourth Annual Sales Training Confei-ence held in Carver Hall Auditorium Thursday afternoon and evening. In the evening, Louis Shannon , eastern manager , extension division , E. I. DuPont Nemours and Company, spoke on the subj ect of "Progress in Better Living, " with a demonstration of advancement in the field of chemistry .

Following a drum majo r, they paraded down the aisle to the front of the auditorium where the campaigners played a number which they entitled "Grabowski' s Campaign Song at the Gremlin Ball". When the conf usion subsided , Richard Wagner introduced the other nominee for the presidency, Ca lvin Kanyuck, who is known to the students through his duties as College Crier in assembly. Calvin stated that he can not play a musical instrument although that ability might come in handy to help soothe C.G.A. members at the meetings of the College Council when they get a bit hot under the collar. Calvin said that he can sing but had to concede that there are those who do not share this opinion . The speaker maintained that in order to have an active C.G.A. the students must back up their chosen representatives. Calvin stressed the fact that we need freedom of expression in our student governing body. He also stated that the best results in student government can only be achieved through cooperation between the fa culty and students. Calvin said that if elected, he would endeavor to represent the student cause and would always lend an ear to student criticism. But to do this, he stated that he would have to have the cooperation of the student body. Richard Wagner then introduced the nominees for the vice-presidency. Tom Anthony, the president of the Sophomore Class, was the fiir st candidate introduced. Tom gave a short address in which he stated that although it is impossible to say that he will excel in a j ob before he tries it, he wants to see the j ob well done and would appreciate being given a chance to do it to the best of his ability. Preceeding the speech of the next vice-presidential candidate, Ri chard Kressler; Jane Kenvin , Lola Je an Deibert and Mary Ellen Dean sang a trio for Kressler 's campaign.
