To Appear Here
by HUGH HACKETT

John Strohm. brilliant radio
commentator and news correspon­
dent, will present an illustrated
lecture in an evening assembly
next Wednesday, Nov.
13th.
“MEET THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE”
is the subject of his lecture: and
through the medium of skilfullytaken, technicolored motion pic­
tures, Mr. Strohm will transport
his audience into the rural areas
of Russia, into the fields, farms,
and homes of the Russian people.

A summary of Mr. Strohm’s life
and travels reads somewhat like
the adventures of Richard Halli­
burton. Born in Illinois, on the
Wabash, thirty-three years ago, he
took top honors in journalism at
Illinois University He lived with
a family in Japan, pulled a rick­
shaw in China, interviewed Ma­
hatma Gandhi, was mobbed by
Arabs in Iraq for taking pictures
of unveiled women, spent a night
in jail in Greece, and lived inside
Hitler’s Germany.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, EDINBORO, PA.

Teacher Attends
P.S.E.A. Meeting
Mr. Alfred J. Haller, supervisor
of the student teaching of art in
the Training School, attended a
regional conference of the Pennsyl­
vania State Education Association,
Southwestern Division, at Pitts­
burgh on Friday, October 25.
Mr. Haller was chiefly interested
in a demonstration of water-color
painting given by a Carnegie Tech
faculty member. Another highlight
of the meeting was a comprehen­
sive exhibit of art work by stud­
ents from Pittsburgh’s elementary.
high, and trade schools. The scene
of this exhibit was the Pittsburgh
Arts and Crafts Center.

The retirement, because of ill
health, of Mr. Frank L. LaBounty,
popular professor of history for
many years at Edinboro, was re­
cently announced by Dr. L. H. Van
Houten, college president. Mr, LaBounty, while at the college, was
active in many fields besides
teaching, having served at various
times as a member of the Board of
Trustees, as college publicity di­
rector, and as advisor of the “Spec­
tator" and “The Conneauttean.”
His personality and his interest in
the students combined to make
Mr. LaBounty one of Edinboro's
best-liked professors.

Naturalist Gives
Unique Lecture
Last Tuesday, Mr. Bert Harwell
took the student body of Edinboro
on a vicarious journey through the
haunts of the North American
birds. His talented tongue present­
ed each bird’s call, which ranged
from the super-soprano trill of the
Chickadee to the basal “squack”
of the heron.
Besides the fine imitations, Mr.
Harwell also whistled melodies of
his own composition and accom­
panied himself with the piano.
Colored movies of the birds in
their habitats gave a unique touch
of realism to the lecture.

Mr. Harwell is a representative
of the California Audubon Society,
and is a naturalist and a graduate
of the University of California. His
visit climaxed a series of lectures
that have been both informative
and enjoyable.
PROSPECT FOR CLASS OF '68
Earl Stubbe, of the Class of
'47, is the proud father of a 7 y2
pound baby boy, born in Erie
on Saturday, October 26. The
newest Stubbe has been named
Gordon Earl.
Stubbe, who served as a
Lieutenant in the Army Air
Forces, is a student teacher. His
wife is the former Carol Davis,
who graduated from Edinboro
in 1944. Gordon Earl is the
couple’s first child.

Remember that snapshot you
took that shows your friend be­
hind 200 other students in the
chow-line? Perhaps you caught the
doleful expression on the faces of
some Edinboro fans at a recent
game. Does you rcollection include
a clear, detailed print of Normal
Hall on a sunny afternoon? Do you
have, or do you intend to take,
pictures of any local scene or
people?
If you can say “yes" to any of
the above questions, the Camera
Club urges you to enter your best
prints in the contest which it is
sponsoring, Pictures may be en­
tered at any time before the
Christmas holidays, which begin
December 18.
As a prize, each of the four win­
ners will receive a hand-painted
enlargement of his entry. Judging
will be done and winners announc­
ed in January by a committee
which includes: Mr. Waldo Bates,
art department; Dr. Ernest R. LaFollette, well-known faculty mem­
ber and photographer; Wilma Jean
Steadman, representing the “Con­
neauttean'’; and Forrest Doucette,
a member of the Camera Club and
a resident of Edinboro.
Officials of the contest advise
each student submitting photo­
graphs to write his name and ad­
dress IN INK on the back 8f each
print. The pictures will be accepted
Monday through Friday from 12:30
to 1:00 in the Club’s office, located
in the basement of Normal Hall,
across from the Commuter’s Room.
Marjorie Evans, of the Club, will
be there during those hours.
In addition to the four prize­
winning pictures, a number of
other worthy entries will be print­
ed in the “Conneauttean.” For this
reason, the subjects may include
any activity or picturesque scene
which a camera owner may ob­
serve on the campus, around Ed­
inboro, or in Cambridge Springs.
In revealing the contest details
to “The Spectator,” Miss Evans ex­
pressed the hope that all students
would feel inclined to participate
—not just camera fans or Club
members alone.

Any alert and conscientious
student who has made little more
than cursory examination of the
college catalogue probably has
read the item about the history of
Edinboro State Teachers College.
If he hasn’t, let this omission be
corrected, and let him grieve no
more over his lack of historical
lore. In solid, groovy language this
is the way a history of 1884 looks
over the situation and brings it up
to that date:

while we stop here to catch our

we'd make it. The deadline date of

Interviewing
the Faculty
(Third Installment)

By GERRY PRENGAMAN
Our interviews for this week
were with Mr. James P. Kaufman,
Mr. Wycliff Griffin and Mr. Paul
A. Lowder.
Mr. Kaufman has just recently
joined the faculty of Edinboro as
a teacher of chemistry His pre­
vious experience includes teaching
in rural and city junior high
schools, serving as principal of an
elementary school in Villa Park,
Ill, and being metallurgist for the
Zansteel Metallurgy Corp., North
Chicago, Ill.
His hobbies of- photography,
gardening, and woodcraft will add
something new to the varied hob­
bies of the faculty members.
At present, Mr. Kaufman is
looking for a home here in Edin­
boro, or at least near by. His wife
and eight-year-old daughter are
still living in Lake Bluff, Ill.
Mr Griffin, who teaches the
History of Civilization and United
States History, came to us from
Lansdowne High School in Phila­
delphia. He earned his B. A, degree
at Ursinus College and did gradu­
ate work at the University of
Pennsylvania, where he obtained
his Master’s degree. He has done
further work towards his doctor’s
degree at Columbia University.
When Mr. Griffin isn’t marking
the results of his favorite essay
test-questions, he will probably
be gardening, playing bridge,
reading an instructive detective
story, or listening to music. He says
that he likes all kinds of music,
both swing and sweet.
Mr. Paul A. Lowder, who teaches
English and acts as advisor to
“The Spectator,” could fill several
columns with the experiences he
has had. His diversified summer
activities have included ranching
in northern Colorado, railroading,
and driving an ambulance. At
present his avocation is trying to
teach three-months-old Martha
Lee to talk.
After he had finished high
school in West Virginia, he did
undergraduate work at Lynchburg
College in Virginia. Later he earn­
ed an M.A. degree in the teaching
of English at Columbia and an M.
A, degree in English at Harvard.
Prior to the time he joined the
Edinboro faculty, Mr. Lowder
taught six years at Sayville High
School, in Long Island, two years
at Briarcliff Manor, N. Y„ and one
summer at Scarborough School, a
private school at Scarborough, N.
