Editor Explains Varied Purposes
Of Edinboro College Newspaper
What is the purpose of a college newspaper? In the first place a col
lege newspaper should be an organ of information for the student body,
faculty, alumni, administration, and all persons connected with the college.
Secondly, it should reflect the opinions of these groups so that increased co
operation and understanding might result among them. Thirdly, and what
is probably the greatest purpose of a college newspaper, it should provide
students the great opportunity to gain much valuable and practical ex
perience in the journalistic and business methods of producing a newspaper.
It is this latter purpose that really makes a newspaper of genuine value.
Too, with its complete fulfillment in an educating manner, the first two pur
poses will be achieved as a consequence. Yet, if this latter purpose is not
fulfilled, little will be accomplished of any importance and a college news
paper will fail to fulfil its purpose.
Success in the fulfillment of this purpose depends not on the efforts 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 per
sons, and only by the combined efforts of these persons, can the necessary
work of making a college newspaper such as the Spectator be done.
Each issue the necessary work of making the Spectator consists pri
marily of five thousand words of “copy”. This copy, on the whole, is dis
tinctly creative work, and with the rate of creative work set at two hundred

OF EDINBORO COLLEGE NEWSPAPER
and fifty words per hour (which is possibly quite fast for some persons),
it takes, for the actual composition of copy, approximately twenty hours.
However, twenty hours of creative writing demands at least an equal
amount of time spent in securing the information for the copy. This varies
greatly and possibly forty hours of investigation is much nearer the amount
required.
Between this composition of the actual copy and the distribution of the
printed newspaper on Wednesday there are numerous necessary jobs, such
as headline writing, proof reading, and make-up—to mention a few, that
probably take a hundred collective hours to complete. It is easy to see that
a hundred and sixty hours of work already accounted for in actual produc
tion, no college student—not even a genius—could do this job alone. By
the way, the sale of advertisements and subscriptions along with other
necessary functions of a business nature, add to this total, for they are sure
ly a necessary part of a college newspaper.
What is the point behind this definition of the purpose of a college
newspaper and the presentation of these facts? It is done chiefly to ac
quaint the Edinboro student body with the problem of producing the
Spectator. Too, jt is to show that an Editor-in-Chief is really an unimport
ant person who must depend very greatly on the assistance of others. Last
ly, the Spectator, in order to fulfil the purpose of a college newspaper,
needs not the lone-wolf effort on the part of a single person, but the united
effort on the parts of many who by their individual contributions, do the
important work of fulfilling this purpose.
— The Editor-in-Chief.
i
SPECTATOR OUTLINES EDITORIAL POLICY
With this issue the Spectator begins another period of publication, An
almost entirely new staff has assumed the responsibilities of reporting, edit
ing and managing this college’s newspaper.
Too, the editorial staff has assumed the larger responsibility of being
servants to the voice of student opinion on this campus. With this thought
in mind, the staff will, to the best of its ability, serve and be responsive to
that opinion which is a natural and necessary part of this institution.
However, this student opinion, though natural and necessary, will not
be allowed to degenerate into mere ranting and futile gnashing of teeth.
In other words, the Spectator is not to become an instrument of “veiled com
ments” and anonymous haranguing between partial groups. Too often
later circumstances have proved that a single boost is many times more
valuable than a barrel of knocks. So, with this first editorial, it is the an
nounced policy of this newspaper to discuss with freedom and reason, the
opinion of the students on this campus, but, at the same time (and at all
times) to keep it out in the open and on a high plane worthy of Edinboro
College.

OFFER GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Voting unanimously to continue to
publish the Spectator, the student
body of the College in last Wednes
day’s assembly poll showed their in
terest in their newspaper and con
tributed many commendable sugges
tions for its improvemen.t
That no student voted to discon
tinue publication of the Spectator is
heartening to a hard-working staff
and is a splendid indication of the
united support backing the Spectator.
Among the suggestions for im
provement were: use of more pictures
and prints, greater regularity of pub
lication dates; more humor and car
toons (preferably done by students) ;
and more expression of student opin
ion.
The Spectator staff and its editor
are in thorough agreement with these
suggestions and will attempt in each
succeeding issue to comply with stud
ent recommendations.
Science Review
by Florian Florek
The layman has many conceptions
and misconceptions concerning c the
various phases of the physical and
chemical world. To many, the very
word “scientist” brings up a verit
able imagery of witch-doctors and
magicians. There is no conception
that is more unreal than this. Perhaps there are various reasons for its
being so but let us examine more
closely. Scientists are not magi
cians, hypnotists or witch-doctors;
they work according to a perscribed
formula and expect results as such.
Magicians merely play upon the gul
lible nature of the American public.
Thus have been formed the various
misconceptions concerning the scien
tific fields.
Another point of interest is con
cerned with the material advances of
science. No one surely will doubt
the progress. We merely have to
look to our homes, our schools, and
cities to find examples. T
But do the
people of today live in a more happy
mood than did our forefathers?
Evidence shows that the Greeks
and the Romans were as happy a race
as we are, and yet they lived without
the material inventions that we have
today. We seem to be happy with
our automobiles, movies, and foot
ball games, but were not the Greeks
equally happy with their chariot
races, sword battles and bull-fights?
Scientists have provided f
for
w*. the
material needs of man; will the- psychologists and sociologists p.
provide
for the happiness of mankind?
-Maybe, it’s something to think about.

The Red Raiders, playing their
first game in the new gymnasium on
Saturday night, had little difficulty
in defeating the Alumni 42-38 in a
slow game in which the varsity held
the lead throughout.
Holding a 17-9 margin at halftime,
the varsity had its lead threatened
only once during the last few min
utes when Coach Harrison sent his
subs into the game.
Palmquist, a former Edinboro
great, led this last minute attack, ad
ding seven points to the alumni total
in the fourth quarter.
Abahazi, with twelve points, and
Crunick, with ten, were high scorers
for the Raiders.
John “Elmo” Wolfe, a graduate
of last January, clicked in four field
goals and two fouls for a total of
ten points to lead the alumni attack.
Palmquist had seven.

What’s going on in the ScaRAb

Abrams made a splendid model last
week for our artistically inclined
friends. Dick Peterson led an excel

yearbook at the last meeting....We
wonder who the three faithful freshies were who upheld their end of the
meeting. How about coming out to
your own club meetings? This re
fers not only to Freshmen, but to
upper classmen as well.
Speaking of Freshmen finds us
wondering—they certainly get into
the hair of Mr. Bates’ Art History
class.
Either Art History starts
wearing overalls, or the Freshmen
quit oil painting the furniture. And
remember students, teachers get “as

and we don’t mean the buildings on

Editor Explains Varied Purposes
Of Edinboro College Newspaper
What is the purpose of a college newspaper? In the first place a col
lege newspaper should be an organ of information for the student body,
faculty, alumni, administration, and all persons connected with the college.
Secondly, it should reflect the opinions of these groups so that increased co
operation and understanding might result among them. Thirdly, and what
is probably the greatest purpose of a college newspaper, it should provide
students the great opportunity to gain much valuable and practical ex
perience in the journalistic and business methods of producing a newspaper.
It is this latter purpose that really makes a newspaper of genuine value.
Too, with its complete fulfillment in an educating manner, the first two pur
poses will be achieved as a consequence. Yet, if this latter purpose is not
fulfilled, little will be accomplished of any importance and a college news
paper will fail to fulfil its purpose.
Success in the fulfillment of this purpose depends not on the efforts 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 per
sons, and only by the combined efforts of these persons, can the necessary
work of making a college newspaper such as the Spectator be done.
Each issue the necessary work of making the Spectator consists pri
marily of five thousand words of “copy”. This copy, on the whole, is dis
tinctly creative work, and with the rate of creative work set at two hundred

OF EDINBORO COLLEGE NEWSPAPER
and fifty words per hour (which is possibly quite fast for some persons),
it takes, for the actual composition of copy, approximately twenty hours.
However, twenty hours of creative writing demands at least an equal
amount of time spent in securing the information for the copy. This varies
greatly and possibly forty hours of investigation is much nearer the amount
required.
Between this composition of the actual copy and the distribution of the
printed newspaper on Wednesday there are numerous necessary jobs, such
as headline writing, proof reading, and make-up—to mention a few, that
probably take a hundred collective hours to complete. It is easy to see that
a hundred and sixty hours of work already accounted for in actual produc
tion, no college student—not even a genius—could do this job alone. By
the way, the sale of advertisements and subscriptions along with other
necessary functions of a business nature, add to this total, for they are sure
ly a necessary part of a college newspaper.
What is the point behind this definition of the purpose of a college
newspaper and the presentation of these facts? It is done chiefly to ac
quaint the Edinboro student body with the problem of producing the
Spectator. Too, jt is to show that an Editor-in-Chief is really an unimport
ant person who must depend very greatly on the assistance of others. Last
ly, the Spectator, in order to fulfil the purpose of a college newspaper,
needs not the lone-wolf effort on the part of a single person, but the united
effort on the parts of many who by their individual contributions, do the
important work of fulfilling this purpose.
— The Editor-in-Chief.
i
SPECTATOR OUTLINES EDITORIAL POLICY
With this issue the Spectator begins another period of publication, An
almost entirely new staff has assumed the responsibilities of reporting, edit
ing and managing this college’s newspaper.
Too, the editorial staff has assumed the larger responsibility of being
servants to the voice of student opinion on this campus. With this thought
in mind, the staff will, to the best of its ability, serve and be responsive to
that opinion which is a natural and necessary part of this institution.
However, this student opinion, though natural and necessary, will not
be allowed to degenerate into mere ranting and futile gnashing of teeth.
In other words, the Spectator is not to become an instrument of “veiled com
ments” and anonymous haranguing between partial groups. Too often
later circumstances have proved that a single boost is many times more
valuable than a barrel of knocks. So, with this first editorial, it is the an
nounced policy of this newspaper to discuss with freedom and reason, the
opinion of the students on this campus, but, at the same time (and at all
times) to keep it out in the open and on a high plane worthy of Edinboro
College.

OFFER GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Voting unanimously to continue to
publish the Spectator, the student
body of the College in last Wednes
day’s assembly poll showed their in
terest in their newspaper and con
tributed many commendable sugges
tions for its improvemen.t
That no student voted to discon
tinue publication of the Spectator is
heartening to a hard-working staff
and is a splendid indication of the
united support backing the Spectator.
Among the suggestions for im
provement were: use of more pictures
and prints, greater regularity of pub
lication dates; more humor and car
toons (preferably done by students) ;
and more expression of student opin
ion.
The Spectator staff and its editor
are in thorough agreement with these
suggestions and will attempt in each
succeeding issue to comply with stud
ent recommendations.
Science Review
by Florian Florek
The layman has many conceptions
and misconceptions concerning c the
various phases of the physical and
chemical world. To many, the very
word “scientist” brings up a verit
able imagery of witch-doctors and
magicians. There is no conception
that is more unreal than this. Perhaps there are various reasons for its
being so but let us examine more
closely. Scientists are not magi
cians, hypnotists or witch-doctors;
they work according to a perscribed
formula and expect results as such.
Magicians merely play upon the gul
lible nature of the American public.
Thus have been formed the various
misconceptions concerning the scien
tific fields.
Another point of interest is con
cerned with the material advances of
science. No one surely will doubt
the progress. We merely have to
look to our homes, our schools, and
cities to find examples. T
But do the
people of today live in a more happy
mood than did our forefathers?
Evidence shows that the Greeks
and the Romans were as happy a race
as we are, and yet they lived without
the material inventions that we have
today. We seem to be happy with
our automobiles, movies, and foot
ball games, but were not the Greeks
equally happy with their chariot
races, sword battles and bull-fights?
Scientists have provided f
for
w*. the
material needs of man; will the- psychologists and sociologists p.
provide
for the happiness of mankind?
-Maybe, it’s something to think about.

The Red Raiders, playing their
first game in the new gymnasium on
Saturday night, had little difficulty
in defeating the Alumni 42-38 in a
slow game in which the varsity held
the lead throughout.
Holding a 17-9 margin at halftime,
the varsity had its lead threatened
only once during the last few min
utes when Coach Harrison sent his
subs into the game.
Palmquist, a former Edinboro
great, led this last minute attack, ad
ding seven points to the alumni total
in the fourth quarter.
Abahazi, with twelve points, and
Crunick, with ten, were high scorers
for the Raiders.
John “Elmo” Wolfe, a graduate
of last January, clicked in four field
goals and two fouls for a total of
ten points to lead the alumni attack.
Palmquist had seven.

Haven Hall Hi-Lites
by Ray Gallagher
by Dorothy Williams
Let’s see—how does Winchell be
gin his column?
Anyhoo, have you heard? Probably—but here it is again:
Congratulations to all the girls who
won the skiing awards. Good work
Pat Masterson, Ellen Haiston, Doris
Heintz, Martha Heintz, and Gene
vieve Kaminski.
Have you noticed the “No Credit
sign in Red’s? Tch!
Hey, gals, isn’t Woody Herman’s
“Isle of May” just the smoothest
thing you ever heard? Thats not
the only smooth thing, tho. Just note
the new “girls” flatin’ around.
Who’s the girl who was soooo in
sulted when Maxie Leslie asked to
borrow her skirt?
“New kids” Younie, Lillie, and McNierney are all right, by unanimous
vote.
Heard in passing:
Failed in English, flunked in math,
They heard him softly hiss,
I’d like to get the guy who said
That ignorance is bliss.
Life at Haven Hall is sometimes
one long line of quiet hours and min
utes late. This campus business is
-on the level, too, isn’t it, girls? Ha
ha. Just the same we love every
minute of it.
Be sure to tune in on the next is
sue—’cause I’ve a feeling there’s go
ing to be a lot of choice news. Lots
can happen between now and then.
See youse at de Brawl!
’Bye.
Cobina.

What’s going on in the ScaRAb
Club? He who goes, knows. Grant
Abrams made a splendid model last
week for our artistically inclined
friends. Dick Peterson led an excel
lent discussion on the makeup of the
yearbook at the last meeting....We
wonder who the three faithful freshies were who upheld their end of the
meeting. How about coming out to
your own club meetings? This re
fers not only to Freshmen, but to
upper classmen as well.
Speaking of Freshmen finds us
wondering—they certainly get into
the hair of Mr. Bates’ Art History
class.
Either Art History starts
wearing overalls, or the Freshmen
quit oil painting the furniture. And
remember students, teachers get “as
sick as a horse” from stale smoke,
and we don’t mean the buildings on
fire!
Three cheers for those Juniors
working on the murals for the “rec”
loom in Haven. Maybe some of our
academic students don’t know that

under the direction of Mr.

tions.
We hope all ScaRAb members w'i|
make a special attempt to visit the
opening of the ScaRAb Phi Delta An
nual Spring Art Exhibit next Tu^
day night. An interesting speaks
is to be on hand.
Personalities: Did you know that
Marian Demmy has given up the halls
of Loveland for algebra? There’s a
good self-portrait by Lon in Mr
Haller’s room. Maybe the Juniors
will have some new inspirations for
costume after seeing some of the
pledges who are haunting Loveland
these days.
