150 Volumes
Added To
College Library
Our library has received a ship­
ment of one hundred and fifty new
books, which vary from romantic
fiction to deep science.
Chemistry
students will be
pleased to know that among these
books are two copies of “The
Chemistry Handbook.” This par­
ticular masterpiece for chemical
reference has been almost impos­
sible to obtain since the war. An­
other scientific edition is Lure's
"Physics Tells Why.” Miss Fomess
recommends this as a very com­
prehensive volume.
OCCUATIONAL AID

For the undecided veteran, there
is a very helpful work entitled
"Occupational Opportunities,” by
Shartle. This book should also be
an aid to fellows and girls who
find themselves in already-crowd­
ed fields and do not know where
lies their best chance for success.
If you are planning on a news­
paper career, the recommended
book for you is "The Newspaper—
Its Making and Meaning.” The
back-ground and authenticity of
this book are excellent because it
is published by “The New York
Times.”
FOR DRAMA-LOVERS

For those with a taste for the
lime-light tales, a copy of “The
Best Plays of 1945” has been add­
ed to our shelves. This annual pub­
lication has always been a favorite
with drama-lovers and play-goers.
Miss Forness would like the
students to stop in the library and
read over the list of new books.
The books named here are only a
few of the shipment; and, without
a doubt, every taste and quest for
recently published information can
be satisfied.

Teacher Writes
For Publication

The November 1946 issue of
“Modern Philology" contained an
article by Dr. V. Frederic Koenig
entitled “A New Perspective on the
Wager Cycle.” “Modern Philology”
is a very scholarly publication fea­
turing the recent and advanced
work of linguists.
The current article throws a new
light on the old pattern for the
wager tale. In a wager tale, the
husband stakes his possessions on.
the faithfulness of his wife, who
another man has wagered can be
seduced. The story always ends up
in a denouement that establishes
proof of the wife’s integrity.
Shakespeare’s “Cymbeline” con­
tains a good example of the wager
tale, which is found in the early

Artistic Posters
Created By Frazier Simon Dummkopf, E S.T.C. Mastermind, Gives
No doubt most students have
noticed the numerous posters that
adorn the walls of the library.
Those three-dimensional works of
art have been produced for the li­
brary department by the skill and
originality of Bill Frazier. His in­
genuity in poster work is more con­
firmed with each new creation.
Bill seems to possess an inexhaus­
tible supply of ideas. When he isn’t
depicting the merits of a new book
in poster form, he is constructing
a poster for a season or holiday.
His hand produced those fine
Christmas jobs.
Bill is a veteran of the European
and African campaigns and is now
pursuing a more peaceful pastime
by majoring in art. The jungle
scenery for the play “At The
Sacred Well” was a product of
Bill’s talents as was also the scen­
ery for the last semester’s play,
“Nothing But The Truth.” Bill is
also president and stage manager
of the Dramatic Club.
After his graduation. Bill plans
to teach art. From evidences of his
handiwork about the school, he
should experience little trouble in
achieving success in this field.
At least thirty students will en­
ter E. S. T. C. as freshmen next
semester. The Dean of Instruction’s
office, which made the announce­
ment, added that a number of other
applicants have not as yet reserv­
ed rooms and are not included
among the thirty who have made
definite arrangements.

Iva Kitchell, interpretive dancer,
in one of her hilarious numbers.

Dance Humorist To
Perform Jan. 29
The new auditorium should be
the scene of uproarious gaiety on
the evening of January 29, because
that is the date On which Miss Iva
Kitchell, unique dance humorist, is
slated to perform her mirthful terpscichorean numbers there.
Miss Kitchell, who began a
career in serious ballet at the age
of eight, received the impression
that audiences frequently wished
to laugh al what was presented as
sober cultural entertainment. It
was not long until she was doing
comedy sketches as a member of
the Chicago Opera Ballet.
M
After touring with the Russian
Ballet, Miss Kitchell developed
her idea of "spoofing” the dance.
This led to her alLcbmedy pro­
grams, which soon won wide
praise from the entertainment
press and made the brilliant artist
the subject of a “Life Magazine"
feature.
The “five-foot-one morsel of de­
light,” as one reviewer tags the
diminutive dancer, recently gave
a completely successful recital at
Carnegie Hall in New York City.
There were so many encores that
Miss Kitchell had only strength
enough to wave at her audience
while they were still applauding
enthusiastically.

Two Staff Members
Take Nuptial Vows
During the Christmas vacation,
the clan of bachelorhood suffered
two casualties — Marshall Webb
and Frank Siller. Webb has relin­
quished his job as Sports Editor on
"The Spectator” staff; and Sitler,
inspired with new mysterious
energy, has ably filled the position.
Mr. Marshall Webb, ex-GI, and
Miss Polly Engh took the nuptial
vow in Miami, Florida, on Decem­
ber 30. Miss Engh. a former resi­
dent of Florida, will start house­
keeping in White Hall while Mar­
shall is preparing for his gradua­
tion on May 27, 1947. He is a
science major and plans to teach
upon completion of his college
work.
Mr. Frank Sitjer, also a veteran,
pledged allegiance to a new com­
mander, Miss Lois Allen. The pro­
fession of fidelity took place in
Erie on Saturday, December 28.
The new couple will live at the
home of Mrs. Ben Skelton on
Meadville Street, where Frank has
been rooming.
Mrs. Sitler is an art student here;
Frank is preparing for the study of
osteopathy.

The names of eleven E. S. T. C.
students who will graduate at the
end of the present semester have
beeen released by the Dean of In­
struction’s office.
Two of the graduates, John T.
Bonnett and Peter Gall, have al­
ready embarked on their teaching
careers. Bonnett, who will receive
the degree of B. S. in Art, has been
named art supervisor of Titusville
High School, Gall has left for
Spartansburg to begin teaching
mathematics and physical educa­
tion in that city’s high school. He
will receive the degree of B. S. in
Education.
Nine other graduates will be
awarded the B. S. in Education de­
gree. They are: Ella Mae Finney,
Idabelle Gordon, James B. Bartoo,.
Kathryn Halchin, Betty Gail Hall,
Jeanne Marie Ketcham, Mary A.
O’Donnell, Howard Springer, and
Earl Stubbe.
Formal presentation of the de­
grees will occur in May, when all
students who have completed their
work since the end of the 1945-46
academic year will receive their
diplomas on the occasion of the
annual commencement exercises.

Sixteen Red Raiders Wrestle

The Cad

Humor-esque

By WALTER MATTSON

By FRANK SITLER

Coach Reed has been diligently
sweating and straining with about
sixteen wrestling candidates for
the past month and a half. Under
Dean Reed's expert tutelage the
Red Raiders’ mat men have pro­
gressed fairly well. From observa­
tions it is evident that our former
assistant football coach is quite
agile on the mats himself. By
showing the men exactly how to
conduct themselves in the ring he
makes his teaching very effective.
Weights are from 120 to about
180 pounds. This certainly repre­
sents a nice powerhouse in the
wrestling field. Jack Weixel, who
graduated from West View GPa.)
High School, was formerly a better-than-average mauler and still
seems to be by all indications.
While he was in high school, he
was state champion for three
years in his class (135 pounds).
Leonard Karzinia of Academy
High School spent a year training
in that school. Gordon Smith
squirmed on the mat at Wesley­
ville High for a year, and Charles
Berg did the same intramurally at
Oakmont High. So at least one
fourth of the men have had prior
training in the fundamentals of
the sport.
Other candidates are from var­
ious parts of our state. The Erie
district also produces Pete McEntarfer (Corry), Dewey Davis (Erie
and Millcreek), and Leslie Agens
from Academy High. From the
southwestern section of the state
come Charles Kuder (Johnstown)
and Curry Sumner (Wilkinsburg).
William Hunt (Sunbury), Frank
Bennett (Southmont), and Don
Weiss (Warren). This Saturday,
January 19, the initial contest is
slated with Lock Haven Teachers
College at Lock Haven. The men
are primed for that pending match
and should make a good showing.

Scuttlebutt

It seems we missed the deadline
last time. Some one told us that
Christmas was coming! Well, this
break in the semester's toil has ar­
rived and departed already, so-o-o
here we are caught up at last and
dying to give you some gossip
(even though some of it is a wee­
mite old).
Let’s see. Hmm. Where to begin?
The weather. (Good old standby.)
E. S. T. C. has been having its us­
ual weather. You know—nine
months when the skiing is pretty
good and three months when it
just precipitates. To verify the fact
that winter is really here—haven’t
you noticed all the knitters in Hav­
en Hall’ Oh, yes, supporting this,
too, is the variety of furs being
sported around campus these days.
And speaking of precipitation, we
hear that some “poor critters" who
chanced to be walking past the
girls’ dorm were bombed from
above with an unexpected bag of
water.
The craziest things can and do
happen here! For instance ....
Where else does someone, say like
Dan Susi, get the other roomers
up in the middle of the night for
drill and inspection, or some boy
like J. R. S. fall asleep backstage
and miss several classes? . . . And
where else could anyone find so
famous a Broadway team as Tom
Brown and Hubby Lucia? . . .
Speaking of teams we hear they
have quite a singing quartet at
Sproul House, Inc. . We wonder
where but here anyone could get

colored plaid combinations. Of

On looking over the schedule

“Oh, you see, sir, it’s this — no

Alliance, Future Foe
By F. W SITLER
The Hill-Toppers of Alliance
College once again come back to
E. S. T. C. for athletic endeavor.
This time it is their basketball
team. January 11, this Saturday,
is the date to set aside on your
calendar of "must see” events.
California State Teachers Col­
lege went down to defeat before
this team’s fighting five, 54-39, at
California, Penna. From the box
score account of the game, it ap­
pears that Coach Ben Pawlina’s
quintet is a stretch finisher, scor­
ing their greatest accumulation of
points in the final stanzas.
Later the Alliance team went
after big game and came back a
disappointed hunter. Duquesne
University outshone them by a 75to-43 count. Again the players
finished strongly with 24 points
in the last half, 17 of which were
in the final period. The men to
watch around the basket for the
Hill-Toppers are Azmonga and
Balinski. They scored 26 and 22
points, respectively, in the two
above-mentioned games.

Climbing on the victory wagon
Saturday, December 14th. after
dropping their opener to Buffalo
State Teachers College, the E.S.T.
C. cagers downed a fighting Fre­
donia team 54-44 at Fredonia.
Evidence of improvement was
shown by the Red Raiders as they
dropped in 21 field goals and 12
free throws to hold a good lead
throughout the contest.
The services of big, high-scor­
ing forward John Lipchick were
missed; but Dzvonar with 18, Art
Strand with 14, and Abahayi with
10 points led the way to Edin­
boro’s first cage victory this seas­
on.
Edinboro took an 11-7 lead in
the first quarter byt it was threat­
ened at the half-time, although
the locals held a slight 22-21 edge.
A good third quarter had the Red
Raiders out in front 39-28. Al­
though the Fredonia “Teachers"
outscored Edinboro 16-15 in the
last stanza, they lost a well-earn­
ed victory to the Crimson and
White
