WOLFE IS HIGH SCORER

The Edinboro Red Raiders, after
leading throughout the entire contest,
staved off a last period rally on the
part of the California Teachers quin­
tet to capture their third straight
victory of the season, 48-44.
The game, except for the final per­
iod, was lopsided with Edinboro hold­
ing a lead that midway of the sec­
ond period reached sixteen points
with the score at 27-11. The score
at halftime, however, was 28-19 with
Edinboro leading by nine points.
With Edinboro holding a ten-point
lead, 27-37, at the start of the final
chapter, California started a rally
that took them within six points of
heading the Raiders. However, at
this point—with the score 39-33—
John Wolfe, Edinboro forward, sunk
three buckets in a row and added a
foul to again widen the gap between

education really is. If they
get a collective view of every Pan
of the school system working under’
one roof at the same time, they would
be surprised at the significance of be.
lief or hope on the part of each one
of the millions of people involved.
Schools Mark Civilization

It must be a true mark of civilizd
tion when practically every American I
citizen consents to chip in his share;
of hard-earned money to build up the
vast funds of millions of dollars used ■
annually to maintain and improve our
beliefs loftier than that of an un­
schooled citizen who cheerfully pays
a sizeable tax that boys and girls of
the next generation may take ad­
vantage of opportunities that were
nonexistent in his youth.
Leaders Believe in Men

Our administrators and highlytrained leaders show a belief in their
country and fellowmen that seems al­
most superhuman. We cannot help
but admire the ones responsible for
administration of such an extensive
profession when we think how they
have spent long years of intense men­
tal work in preparation, how they
often turned down more attractive
and remunerative work, how they dis­
play wholehearted enthusiasms at all
times, and how they tirelessly strive
to effect better results and greater
efficiency.
Motive* Are Great

Certainly some motive greater than
that of earning money must have led
our present corps of teachers to un­
dertake the responsibility of jobs they
now hold. Sometimes, although real­
izing that achievement of notoriety
and high salary would be impossible
for them, they have valiantly sub­
mitted to the rigid discipline of aca­
demic preparation in order to enter
a frequently unattractive room of
walls, books, and noisy pupils. It >s
hard to think of a belief greater than
that necessary to keep a teacher op­
timistic and sympathetic in the mid-*"
of inescapable disappointments and

shakable belief in people and edu-1
cation that hundreds of retired teach- j
ers must have had, we should readily i
give them a place among the world3 •
great.
Master Workmen Teach

It requires a master workman to
keep pupils of grade and high school
age interested and progressing in th®
pursuit of fundamental knowledge
Such teachers have attained their
positions through sincerity and diH'
gence and have gained the confidencc
of students.
When every teacher
possesses the attributes that cause
pupils to believe that all of the struX*
?le for learning is worthwhile, then
school serves its purpose effectively
and fully.

ASK STUDENTS TO ASSIST

SPEAKS TO YWCA GROUP

An Employment Service to aid Ed­
inboro students in securing employ­
ment during the college year has been
organized by a faculty committee and
will shortly begin to function as a
job-finding organization.
The special committee-in-charge
which will aid the regular employment
committee, is composed of Miss Dor­
othy Skinner, Dr. L. H. Van Houten,
Mr. Aime Doucette and Mr. Royce

Miss Helen Sylvander, the local
delegate to the National Assembly of
the Student Christian Movement at
Oxford, Ohio, spoke to the January
5 meeting of the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Sylvander told of her trip and
the “doings” of the convention.
Briefly, as follows: the morning ses­
sions, consisting of commissions deal­
ing with the student and his Christian
relations to the college and the world;
the evening meeting, talks on Christi­
anity by a noted battery of speak­
ers; and the afternoon clinics, where
valuable material was offered as
helps in building “Y” programs.
Many Students Attend Assembly
Over 2000 students from 47 states
and 15 foreign countries attended this
convention which was cons dered to
be one of the most successful ever
held.
The Y. W. C. A. would like to take

R. Mallory.
The members of this committee are
forming definite plans and, with the
cooperation of the students who must
of necessity earn money while attend­
ing college, it is hoped that many val­
uable benefits will be derived from

this service.
The regular employment committee
consists of Miss Nelle Hudson, Mr.
W. A. Wheatly, and Mr. Royce R.
Mallory, chairman.

Old Man Weather is still playing
tricks on us—one day it thunders and
lightnings and the next day there is a
blinding snow storm.
Our skiing weather has been rather
scarce this year; but by the tempera­
ture and snowfall it looks now as if
we might get our share after all.
Basketball is again the main win­
ter sport. The girls have had several
weeks of practice and are now ready
(or supposed to be) to play off some
of the Phi-Delta, off and on campus
games. These ought to be really
good for we have some fine new play­
ers on all teams to aid the old vet­
erans of the game.
The Phis and Deltas are practicing
the same passes that they had last
year. The Phis know their passes
es perfect—that is until they begin
scrimmaging, then the passes seem to
be “gone with the wind”.
If anyone wants to win a basketball
game just see that Emilie Hammermeister gets the ball. She’s so tall
none of the other players can get
near the ball when she has it; and
she’s one grand player too.
We’re glad to see Virginia Andrews
back. We certainly missed her. The
Phis would be completely lost if she
weren’t here to play.
Ruth Gilbert did a fine job of
coaching the other day when Miss
Ruttie was sick. She would make a
good athletic coach. A common bas­
ketball yell now, is “Ouch, get off my
coms!”
We want to congratulate the boys
on the victory they won from Cali­
fornia. We hope they do that good
in all the rest of the games; in fact,
we are quite confident that they will.
When we're having these snappy
cold days, a common campus picture
is girls crossing the campus with a
pair of skates thrown over their shoul­
ders. We have skaters varying from
beginners, who have to be taught the
ABC’s of the art, to expert ones.

Edgerton tells us that he once used
Johnson’s floor wax on his skis; he
claims that it worked satisfactorily,
but it is doubtful if Miss Ruttie would
recommend this treatment for W. A.
A. skis.
Other schools may brag of their
heritage, but Edinbcro has it Volitich.
Mr. Mallory told his classes that
“Bronko” Abrams would never learn
how to kick a football if he lived to
be a hundred years old.—Oh, pardon
me, maybe the word was “forgot”

rather than “learn”.
How about a big crowd out in the
old gym tonight to see our boys take

quence. Yet, if this latter purpose
is not fulfilled, little will be accom­
plished of any importance and a col­
lege newspaper will fail to fulfil its
purpose.
»
Success in the fulfillment of this
purpose depends not on the ef­
forts of one person alone as many
people are prone to think when they
talk of an Editor-in-Chief. Rather
it depends on the combined efforts of
many persons, and only by the com­
bined efforts of these persons, can
the necessary work of making a col­
lege newspaper such as the Spectator
be done.
Each issue the necessary work of
making the Spectator consists primar­
ily of five thousand words of “copy”.
This copy, on the whole, is distinctly
creative work, and. with the rate of
creative work set at two hundred and
fifty words per hour, (which is pos­
sibly quite fast for some persons)
it takes, for the actual composition
of copy, approximately twenty hours.
However, twenty hours of creative
writing demand at least an equal
amount of time spent in securing the
information for the copy. This var­
ies greatly and possibly forty hours

of investigation is much nearer th*
amount required.
Between this composition of the
actual copy and the distribution of
the printed newspaper on Saturday
there are numerous necessary j0^’
V
such as headline writing, proof read'
ing, and make-up—to mention a few
that probably take a hundred collet
tive hours to complete. It is easy to
see that a hundred and sixty hours of work already accounted for in ac­
tual production, no college students. '
not even a genius—could do this job '
alone. By the way, the sale of ad­
vertisements and subscriptions along
with other necessary functions of a I
business nature, add to this total for
they are most surely a necessary part '
of a college newspaper.
What is the point behind this de- i
finition of the purpose of a college |
newspaper and the presentation of 1
these facts? It is done chiefly to ac- L
quaint the Edinboro student body '
with the problem of producing the II L
Spectator. Too, it is to show that an I
F
Ed’tor-in-Chief is really an unimport- ‘
E
ant person who must depend very ;
greatly on the assistance of others.
Lastly, The Spectator, in order to ful- ;
fil the purpose of a college newspaper, f
needs not the lone-wolf effort on the • i
part of a single person, but the united 1
effort on the parts of many who by | li
the’r individual contributions, do the I tl
important work of fulfilling this pur- j n
o
pose.
