A Solute To Two Great Americans
The month of February is the most significant of all as far as
the American nation is concerned. The greatest issues with which
we were confronted, while our country teas in the making, were
decided by the most illustrious men of our history — George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We, as college students, learn
ing the American way of life, can profit immeasurably from the
transcendent abilities and virtues of these great men whose birth
days we observe this month.
Washington, the father of his country, not only guided our
country through the days of darkness but also set a great example
of a man who rose from the masses of average people to such great
power without abusing it. He was a man of no ordinary genius, and
a warrior surpassing even Alexander the Great, Titus, and Caesar.
In moral elevation, no soldier, past or present, approaches him.
The principles of religion were deeply etched in his heart. “In the
darkest hours of adversity he leaned in solemn faith on Him who
is mightier than the mightiest.”
Lincoln, the great liberator, who carried this nation through
the hell of civil war, was a man whose rise to power from poverty
to greatness has never been matched by any other individual. It
teas Lincoln who said, “i’ll study and get ready and then maybe
my chance will come." This certainly can be applied today in our
educational ambitions. Lincoln reached the pinnacle of success
not only as a great president and liberator but also as a man of
truth, having all those qualities that make a man truly great. “I
am not bound to tvin, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound
to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must
stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is
right, and part with him when he goes wrong." This represents a
philosophy of one of the .greatest sons that this country has en
shrined in perpetual memory.
On Assemblies and Announcements
The quality of our assembly programs has risen considerably
since the coming of the new year. Only in one instance was our
patience sorely tried by our having to sit through nearly 25 min
utes of rather boring announcements, some of which could have
been presented more succinctly, to say the least.
If the pattern followed last Wednesday, when “Ernie LaFoL
lette, the Chalk-Talk Man ” gave us a lively demonstration of his
remarkable skill, is copied in the future, we feel certain that our
audiences will respond favorably to the guest performers and that
less fourth-period time will be lost in assembly.
Little can be done, of course, about speakers who find that
they require an hour or more in which adequately to express their
views. Although Mr. Spencer D. Irwin, associate editor of the
“Cleveland Plain Dealer,” held the platform a full 60 minutes in
his lecture last October, we were sufficiently concerned with his
forceful remarks to be oblivious of time’s onward march. One or
two subsequent speakers have fallen far short of matching Mr.
Irwins charm. It should be noted here that we need not scour the
nation’s speakers’ bureaus to find worthwhile entertainment. Dr.
LaFollotte’s talk, as well as his showing of the movie on Williams
burg, furnishes proof of that.
We. suggest, then, that assembly announcements be kept to a
minimum—granting the existence of an ample supply of mimeo
graph paper and that as often as possible we use what talent
we have in our own back yard.

Americans who saw danger in the late Franklin D. Roosevelt's
precedent-shattering 12 years as chief executive probably had their
fears partially allayed last week, when the House of Representatives
approved legislation designed to limit presidential tenure to two fouryear terms.
Unanimous backing by Republican members, coupled with the
support of southern Democrats, put the proposal across by the count
of 285 to 121t0br the required 2-/3 majority, only 271 affirmative votes
were needed.
In order to become law, the proposed clamp on White House oc
cupancy must traverse the following channels: it must pass the Senate
by a 2/3 majority; it must be ratified by the legislatures of % of the 48
states. The result of these steps would be to convert an unwritten law
of 150 years’ standing into a bonafide constitutional amendment.
Opposite Views Expressed
President Truman's predecessor became the subject of debate dur

EDINBORO’ PENN’A
(Continued from page one)
By PAT McNARNEY
It is one of the unfortunate facts
of life that people everywhere are
subject to illnesses. We at Edin
boro arc no exception, but we are
lucky because we have a compe
tently staffed infirmary to which
we can go in time of illness. The
infirmary, situated on the third
floor of Haven Hall, is run by
Miss Nelly McClintock, our col
lege nurse.
Miss McClintock attended Al
legheny College and Denison Uni
versity before she took her nurse's
training at Hamot Hospital in
Erie. Before coming to Edinboro
she worked as a practical nurse at
Hamot. Miss McClintock’s duties
at Edinboro, besides caring for ail
ing students, include charge of the
linen and substituting for Mrs.
Miller, Dean of Women, when she
is away.
While she has no particular hob
bies, Miss McClintock is very fond
of plays (good, bad, or indifferent,
she says). She also enjoys music
and is an ardent basketball fan.
Our nurse has indeed been kept
busy, for since September the in
firmary has been visited 2438
times. This includes visits for en
trance physicals as well as the ex
aminations necessary before stu
dents can use the pool. The major
ity of the visits, however, have
been for illness; for everyone
knows that at the infirmary he
will receive comfort and the very
best of care.
No Corsages
In the last class meeting, the
students sponsoring the dance vot
ed not to buy corsages. Because of
the inadequacy of the veterans'
subsistence allowance, the girls
will have to wait for corsages un
til after the boys have earned their
degrees and have begun making
their fortunes. The girls are ask
ed to bear with this hecessary fru
gality and to be assured that their
patience and understanding will
someday be rewarded.
Dancing From 8 To 12
The Ball is to be held in the
Crawford Gymnasium, which will
be decorated with the traditional
colors and symbols of St. Valen
tine’s Day. Dancing will start at
8:00 and end at 12:00.
Not only will there be the best
in modern music to satisfy both
“gliders” and “jivers,” but there
will also be refreshments, served
to satisfy any gastronomic needs
that may arise. It is intended that
there shall be music for the empty
ear, girls for the empty arms, and
food for the empty stomachs. This
program just about fulfills every
thing.
With the promise of a gala, funfilled evening, the Freshman Class
invites and urges every student to
be present at the “Sweetheart
Ball,” Tickets may be purchased
at the door or may be obtained
from students selling tickets out
side of the Haven Hall dining
room before, during, and after
meals.

In the first two games of the
women’s
interclass basketball
round robin, the freshmen and
senior teams defeated the sopho
more girls. The sophomores first
loss came on January 29 when
they were trounced 33-9 by the
fast moving sextet; on January 6,
the senior girls were victorious
over the sophomore combine by
the score of 16-6.
Leading the attack for the
freshman girls was left forward
Bertha Hammermeister, who col
lected seven field goals and made
two foul shots for a 16-point total.
High scorer for the sophomores
was Donna Flower with eight
points. The defensive play of the
freshman guards, Herrick, Sherrity, and Byers, was an outstand
ing feature of the game.
Emily Hammermeister, center
forward of the senior team, chalk
ed up eight points, which were
enough in themselves to down the
third-year girls. Dorothy Johnson,
with six points, accounted for all
of the sophomore scoring.

For its fourth victory of the I
season, Edinboro defeated Alliance :
College by a score of 62-55 on the '
Alliance floor last Friday night
Alliance has had 10 victories andtwo defeats.
Starting from the first whistle,'
ESTC never let up. John Lipchick,
who was high scorer for the Red
and White with eighteen markers,
opened up with a double decker
from near the foul line. Pacing the
Red and White along with “Lip.
py," were Strand and Dzvonar,
who had six and four points, res
pectively, in the first quarter. Mid
way in the initial stanza Edinboro
led 13-1, and at the end of the
period it was 20-13
Alliance, paced by Don Asmonga, moved within one point of Ed
inboro at the half. Asmonga was
high scorer of the game with 30
points, 16 of which were scored in
the first half.
At the opening of the second
half Lloyd tipped the ball to Peck
ham, who made a quick pass to
Strand, then went in for a neat
lay-up shot. The game was close
for a while as Asmonga consistent-’
ly hit the nets to keep Alliance in
the game. At the end of the third
period the score was 45-42 in fav
or of the Red and White.
Some four hundred fans were
thrown into hysterics as the score
was knotted at 52-52 just before
the official time out. But the Raid
ers weren’t beaten as they rallied
to outscore Alliance 9-3 in the last
five minutes of play.

Edinboro’s eagers have shown
that they have a definite punch by
winning two out of the last three
games played.
The Red Raiders won their sec

ds. Edinboro led throughout the
entire game and was never in
danger. Art Strand was the main

a total of 30 points. His consistent
scoring of set shots from mid-court
was really a treat to watch.
In the third home game the Red
Raiders lost a heart-breaker to
Clarion, 46-45,- after leading all
through the game. Edinboro had a
half time lead of 30-21, and at the
official time-out it was 44-40 to

A Solute To Two Great Americans
The month of February is the most significant of all as far as
the American nation is concerned. The greatest issues with which
we were confronted, while our country teas in the making, were
decided by the most illustrious men of our history — George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We, as college students, learn
ing the American way of life, can profit immeasurably from the
transcendent abilities and virtues of these great men whose birth
days we observe this month.
Washington, the father of his country, not only guided our
country through the days of darkness but also set a great example
of a man who rose from the masses of average people to such great
power without abusing it. He was a man of no ordinary genius, and
a warrior surpassing even Alexander the Great, Titus, and Caesar.
In moral elevation, no soldier, past or present, approaches him.
The principles of religion were deeply etched in his heart. “In the
darkest hours of adversity he leaned in solemn faith on Him who
is mightier than the mightiest.”
Lincoln, the great liberator, who carried this nation through
the hell of civil war, was a man whose rise to power from poverty
to greatness has never been matched by any other individual. It
teas Lincoln who said, “i’ll study and get ready and then maybe
my chance will come." This certainly can be applied today in our
educational ambitions. Lincoln reached the pinnacle of success
not only as a great president and liberator but also as a man of
truth, having all those qualities that make a man truly great. “I
am not bound to tvin, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound
to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must
stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is
right, and part with him when he goes wrong." This represents a
philosophy of one of the .greatest sons that this country has en
shrined in perpetual memory.
On Assemblies and Announcements
The quality of our assembly programs has risen considerably
since the coming of the new year. Only in one instance was our
patience sorely tried by our having to sit through nearly 25 min
utes of rather boring announcements, some of which could have
been presented more succinctly, to say the least.
If the pattern followed last Wednesday, when “Ernie LaFoL
lette, the Chalk-Talk Man ” gave us a lively demonstration of his
remarkable skill, is copied in the future, we feel certain that our
audiences will respond favorably to the guest performers and that
less fourth-period time will be lost in assembly.
Little can be done, of course, about speakers who find that
they require an hour or more in which adequately to express their
views. Although Mr. Spencer D. Irwin, associate editor of the
“Cleveland Plain Dealer,” held the platform a full 60 minutes in
his lecture last October, we were sufficiently concerned with his
forceful remarks to be oblivious of time’s onward march. One or
two subsequent speakers have fallen far short of matching Mr.
Irwins charm. It should be noted here that we need not scour the
nation’s speakers’ bureaus to find worthwhile entertainment. Dr.
LaFollotte’s talk, as well as his showing of the movie on Williams
burg, furnishes proof of that.
We. suggest, then, that assembly announcements be kept to a
minimum—granting the existence of an ample supply of mimeo
graph paper and that as often as possible we use what talent
we have in our own back yard.

AFFAIRS
Americans who saw danger in the late Franklin D. Roosevelt's
precedent-shattering 12 years as chief executive probably had their
fears partially allayed last week, when the House of Representatives
approved legislation designed to limit presidential tenure to two fouryear terms.
Unanimous backing by Republican members, coupled with the
support of southern Democrats, put the proposal across by the count
of 285 to 121t0br the required 2-/3 majority, only 271 affirmative votes
were needed.
In order to become law, the proposed clamp on White House oc
cupancy must traverse the following channels: it must pass the Senate
by a 2/3 majority; it must be ratified by the legislatures of % of the 48
states. The result of these steps would be to convert an unwritten law
of 150 years’ standing into a bonafide constitutional amendment.
Opposite Views Expressed
President Truman's predecessor became the subject of debate dur

It is one of the unfortunate facts
of life that people everywhere are
subject to illnesses. We at Edin
boro arc no exception, but we are
lucky because we have a compe
tently staffed infirmary to which
we can go in time of illness. The
infirmary, situated on the third
floor of Haven Hall, is run by
Miss Nelly McClintock, our col
lege nurse.
Miss McClintock attended Al
legheny College and Denison Uni
versity before she took her nurse's
training at Hamot Hospital in
Erie. Before coming to Edinboro
she worked as a practical nurse at
Hamot. Miss McClintock’s duties
at Edinboro, besides caring for ail
ing students, include charge of the
linen and substituting for Mrs.
Miller, Dean of Women, when she
is away.
While she has no particular hob
bies, Miss McClintock is very fond
of plays (good, bad, or indifferent,
she says). She also enjoys music
and is an ardent basketball fan.
Our nurse has indeed been kept
busy, for since September the in
firmary has been visited 2438
times. This includes visits for en
trance physicals as well as the ex
aminations necessary before stu
dents can use the pool. The major
ity of the visits, however, have
been for illness; for everyone
knows that at the infirmary he
will receive comfort and the very
best of care.
No Corsages
In the last class meeting, the
students sponsoring the dance vot
ed not to buy corsages. Because of
the inadequacy of the veterans'
subsistence allowance, the girls
will have to wait for corsages un
til after the boys have earned their
degrees and have begun making
their fortunes. The girls are ask
ed to bear with this hecessary fru
gality and to be assured that their
patience and understanding will
someday be rewarded.
Dancing From 8 To 12
The Ball is to be held in the
Crawford Gymnasium, which will
be decorated with the traditional
colors and symbols of St. Valen
tine’s Day. Dancing will start at
8:00 and end at 12:00.

lected seven field goals and made
two foul shots for a 16-point total.
High scorer for the sophomores
was Donna Flower with eight

freshman guards, Herrick, Sherrity, and Byers, was an outstand
ing feature of the game.
Emily Hammermeister, center
forward of the senior team, chalk

enough in themselves to down the
third-year girls. Dorothy Johnson,

For its fourth victory of the I
season, Edinboro defeated Alliance :
College by a score of 62-55 on the '
Alliance floor last Friday night
Alliance has had 10 victories andtwo defeats.
Starting from the first whistle,'
ESTC never let up. John Lipchick,
who was high scorer for the Red
and White with eighteen markers,
opened up with a double decker
from near the foul line. Pacing the
Red and White along with “Lip.
py," were Strand and Dzvonar,
who had six and four points, res
pectively, in the first quarter. Mid
way in the initial stanza Edinboro
led 13-1, and at the end of the
period it was 20-13
Alliance, paced by Don Asmonga, moved within one point of Ed
inboro at the half. Asmonga was
high scorer of the game with 30
points, 16 of which were scored in
the first half.
At the opening of the second
half Lloyd tipped the ball to Peck
ham, who made a quick pass to
Strand, then went in for a neat
lay-up shot. The game was close
for a while as Asmonga consistent-’
ly hit the nets to keep Alliance in
the game. At the end of the third
period the score was 45-42 in fav
or of the Red and White.
Some four hundred fans were
thrown into hysterics as the score
was knotted at 52-52 just before
the official time out. But the Raid
ers weren’t beaten as they rallied
to outscore Alliance 9-3 in the last
five minutes of play.
