"You Cant Legislate Love"
Some weeks ago a tvoman student intimated confidentially to
an editor of “The Spectator’ that campus rules pertaining to
male-female social contact were, in her judgment, one or tivo
shades less than liberal.
The girl alleged that existing regulations actually stated the
number of inches of daylight that must appear between couples
walking along Edinboro’s charming streets. Holding hands or as­
suming other poses which could be construed as being amorous,
continued our complainant, constitute offenses which carry stiff
penalties.
We feel that a bit of proximity between the sexes is unavoid­
able during operation of the crowded “chow” line, if not at other
times, but that is not our reason for narrating this incident. Our
chivalrous aim is to point out concrete evidence which should be
inspiring as well as consoling to all students who may think that
their natural romantic impulses are being unduly curbed.
Witness the several campus courtships that have blossomed
into weddings recently. Although this outburst of nuptial cere­
monies could hardly be termed a “wave” or a “rash,” the number
is sufficient to prove that love is invincible even in the face of
highly technical inhibitory rules.
Th'e loss of “The Spectator’s” first sports editor and the im­
minent resignation of his successor can be traced to matrimonial
factors. Since we like to be referred to as “liberal,” however, we
do not intend to request more stringent social rules. We shall re­
strain ourselves from asking for more daylight bettveen strolling
couples, and we shall purge our minds of all vicious thoughts of
suggesting an armed anti-love guard for Haven Hall.
The immutable fact—which we hope our lamenting girl will
abosorb—is that true, love can not be thwarted by any number of
interdictions.
As a fitting conclusion, then, to this discourse, we remind all
at ESTC who aspire to become June brides that there are only
114 days left in the semester. With the present male-female ratio,
it is purely a woman’s market. It should be easy, girls.
—John B. Bonnell

God looked at the world
One winter morn,
At its barren fields
And its trees forlorn,

Then God took pity
On this world below,
And waving his hand
He created snow.

Correspondence .
TO THE GIRLS OF ESTC

“Why we had lots more fun
around here last year even though
there weren’t many fellows.’’
“That’s right, the fellows hardly
seem to notice us. What’s the use
of griping about the number of
late per’s that we get when most
of us won’t even have use for
those that they do give us?”
I overheard tills bit of conversa­
tion among several girls in Haven
Hall shortly after Thanksgiving
vacation. Upon inquiry, I found
that we, the ex-G.I.’s, are held in
rather low esteem by a surprising
number of our co-eds. We are ac­
cused of taking very little interest
in the girls here at college. Per­
haps we owe them an explanation.
Girls, let me clarify our position.
Our main interest here is to gain
an education. I have been told that
this is not your main reason for
coming here. For most of us, study­
ing is a full-time job that leaves
few leisure moments. Then, too,
most of us are living under the G.
I. Bill of Rights, which has no pro­
vision for funds to be used for
your entertainment. We look at
our jobs and our lives more ser­
iously and more realistically now
than we did when we graduated
from high school. In the service
we found that we couldn’t be
“kids” any longer; we had to as­
sume responsibility.
We are sorry that we can’t have
more dates now. We’d enjoy them
too; however, as I have said, our
main ambition at present is to
graduate. Perhaps you will realize
your main ambition before you
graduate too. In spite of our ap­
parent lack of interest now, we
really have your interests at
heart.
Signed—An Ex-G.I.

Editor s Announcement

Pressure has been on students and faculty alike for the past
three weeks. During this rush period, it was made manifest to
the editors,of "The Spectator" that full attention io studies is
likely to i4iuli in the neglecting of the "outside" world. Since
events, however, have no respect for a student's inability to
stay abreast of them, the editors decided that an occasional
column on national and international developments would be
a commendable addition to this page.
All news is not "heavy" or dry. There is a certain grim
humor, for example, in the Georgia gubernatorial battle, as any
radio comedian will quickly admit. "The Spectator" neverthe­
less, will welcome comment on this new feature.

A LOOK AT WORLD
AFFAIRS
When, after months of rumors and denials, James F. Byrnes final­
ly ended his brief but colorful career as Secretary of State, it was no
surprise io "insiders” that General George C. Marshall was promptly
named io the top diplomatic position. Soon, though, people who can­
not bear io see the United States dominated in any respect by military
men began to voice their distaste for the appointment.
While the press overwhelmingly favored Marshall's rise to the
secretaryship—at least one editor felt it was President Truman's wis­
est appointment to dale—many citizens began io read into the event
several unrecorded angles. It is safe io say that some ex-GIs, long forc­
ed to suppress their resentment to wartime methods of the "brass,"
found it difficult io applaud when the wartime chief of staff became
the nation's foreign policy chief.
WILL MOSCOW UNDERSTAND?
An aspect which is disturbing to a much wider segment of the
population is: how will Marshall's appointment be interpreted in total­
itarian capitals, notably Moscow? Will the men in the Kremlin be able
io understand that Marshall has severed his military connection, that
he would rather retire, but bows to his patriotism, and that he clearly
lacks the power to wage war on any nation? It is a provoking question,
and it is doubtless being asked throughout the world's diplomatic halls.
Five other high foreign posts are currently occupied by Army or
Navy officers. General Eisenhower’s right-hand man during the Euro­
pean campaigns. General Bedell Smith, sits in the American embassy
in Russia. General Douglas MacArthur reigns in Japan. General Mark
Clark, soon io be replaced by General Geoffrey Keyes, is top authority
in the American zone of Austria. General Lucius D. Clay is supreme in
American-occupied Germany, and Major General John Hilldring is
Assistant Secretary of State for Occupied Areas.
Since the last four of the above high-ranking gentlemen are con­
cerned with the job of military occupation of defeated countries, it may
be argued that they are the logical men for the task, because victory
by the armed forces undeniably made the occupation possible. Just as
cogently, however, it may be held that the war is over, and that the
time has come for the U. S. to impress the conquered with a de-emphasis of militarism.
OBSTACLES OVERCOME
In behalf of the military office-holders, it' should be granted that
they have done, by and large, a good administrative chore. Terrifying
obstacles have been overcome. Germans, for instance, threatened with
starvation, have been persuaded to refrain from mass violence. Then
there is the delicate problem of the conduct of occupation troops.
Until the passage of time permits a more adequate judgment of
the sagacity of appointing military men to civilian offices, young
Americans, especially those attending colleges, will do well to keep
close tabs on State Department and foreign occupation activities.

THE OPEN SHELVES

While browsing through the many volumes upon display in the
library, we found that innumerable books have titles that are synony­
mous with situations and events here at E. S. T. C. A few of these are:
"The Crisis" — Semester tests and final grades.
*Lays of the New Land" — A new semester of work.
"American Humor" — Pop Bates' classes.
"Three O’clock Dinner" — Down at the Hut.
"The Sheltered Life" — Staying in the Girls' Dorm.
"mow Smoko” — Some people burning up over their low grades.
Being Mot Together- - On iho way homo from the movies.
Goodbye, my Son” — A new "frosh" off io E. S. T. C.
"No Hearts io Break" — Married students.
"Vein of Iron" - Ask Miss Ketcham. She knows where it is.
In This Our Life" — Good ole school days!!!!
"Journey in the Dark” — On the way io eight o'clocks
People Are Fascinating" - Inmates of this state institution
Raw Material — Lowly "frosh." Ha! Hal
-Ou> ol ,h. Cloud.Who. Lol. B„d Jerry Byrom
A Thief in the Night — Mouse in Haven Hall.

Calling all critics! Calling all
students whose convictions are
strong! "The Spectator" solicits
your comment! Hero is your op­
portunity to voice your opinions
on such subjects as: Lasting
Peace, Taxes, Portal-io-Portal Pay
Suits, Veterans' Benefits, ESTC
Student Activities, etc.
The above topics are presented
merely as samples. You may have
stimulating comment on hundreds
of others. The editors reserve the
right io reject material which
holds no interest for the student
body at largo. "The Spectator” is
not a channel for airing personal
controversies. In fairness to other

GIORDANO'S CONDITION
REMAINS SERIOUS

Scuttlebutt
“Congratulations” to the newly­
weds, “welcome back” to the sick,
a friendly “hello” to the new-com­
ers, and a “happy birthday!” to
all the sons and daughters of Cap­
ricorn. We think that is quite in­
clusive, but if you should feel
slighted in the least—forgive us,
huh?
We have heard that there are
many on the sick list — or the
“near” sick list. Some have colds,
others have tonsilitis, or “ailing”
appendices.. Howard Kerrick is re­
siding at the present time in the
infirmary, where he is keeping
company with the chicken pox!
We have heard of several corni­
ced incidents involving student­
teachers before they left the
training school. For instance—
Miss Barber’s fourth-grade stu­
dents were always raising their
hands to tell Idabelle Gordon that
she had dotted her “I’s” wrong or
made some other letter different­
ly from what they had been
taught.
Betty Deeter’s sophomore boys
paid her back for certain happen­
ings (we hear) by washing her face
in snow—(After she had finished
her teaching—you understand.)
One of Joyce Weldon’s little
sophomore boys tried to bribe her
by offering to fix her up a date
with his cousin. The reason for the
bribery? It seems that Joyce de­
cided to give her “darlings” a
tough test before she left her dut­
ies. The little guy wanted a little
help with the test—that’s all.
To celebrate the termination of
his duties, George Kasonovic got
a short haircut. When we came
back from semester vacation and
saw it, we thought that the moths
had had a field day.
Of course, we know that there
must have been “unusual” hap­
penings in the teaching experience
of the rest of our “veterans,” but
they prefer to keep them private,
and just snicker at them a little to
themselves.
We are glad to see the other
students are hearing of our swell
school, and are coming here too..
There are several persons we’ve
seen strolling the campus lately.
To all we extend a hearty wel­
come. At the same time we also
wish to mention the fact that we
are missing the presence of some
people who used to be seen hang­
ing around a lot.

The condition of Carmen Gior­
dano, one of four ESTC men in­
volved in an auto accident near
McKean, Pa., at 3:15 Sunday
morning, remained serious as “The
Spectator” went to press. Gior­
dano and Dan Susie, who received
lacerations, are undergoing treat­
ment in St. Vincent’s Hospital,
Erie.
The driver of the car, Arthur
Warren, and the fourth passenger,
Angelo Susi, escaped injury. The
mishap occurred during the stu­
dents’ return trip from the Edin­

Red Raiders Five
By TONY VESCIO
Indiana State Teachers eked out
a 45-44 victory over the Red Raid­
ers on the winners’ floor January
17. The lead changed hands sever­
al times during the forty minutes
of play, but neither team was able
to pile up a big lead at any time
Big John Lipchik copped scor­
ing honors for the evening by
sinking 14 points for the losers.
Stillson and Stroup each contrib­
uted 12 markers for the winners.
Coach Harrison's players jump­
ed to a 12-8 lead at the close of the
first quarter but fhiled to click in
the second stanza, trailing 18-16 at
halftime. A hot third quarter put
the Red Raiders out in front, 3431. with ten minutes of playing
time remaining.’
The fourth quarter turned into
a thrilling do-or-die battle. The
Edinboro eagers held a slim 44-42
lead with less than one minute to
play when Indiana’s Bruffman
swished a circus shot to even up
the score. Dunwiddy, fouled in the
waning seconds, successfully con­
verted his free try to give Edin­
boro its defeat.
