NEW RULES TO GO INTO EFFECT

Down with the old, on with the
new! That 's our motto. So, a few
weeks ago we abolished the Old Student Governmen t Council and put in
a more intelligent and sympathetic
group of girls. The old Council were
too old-fashioned , too narrow minded
and did no t believe in the modern
doc t rine of women 's rights. They belonged to the age of restraint , to the
age of the shrinking violet. The girls
must be regulated from a women
view-point and so we elected a lot of
girls who were known to be entirely
modern and sympathetic* with their
ideas and liberal in their belief of women 's rights.
Thus the new government was organized. Committees were appointed
to take up various rules for revision.
Af ter several weeks of consultation
a new set of laws were agreed upon.
These rules were organized from an
intelligent, broad-minded standpoint ,
taking in to consideration their value
to the school as a whole. It is hoped
t ha t the enforcement of these rules
will lead to a bigger and better social life.
For the benefit of all we will endeavor to enumera t e a few of the new
restrictions and liberties :
I. A telephone will be installed in
each room for private calls in
order to pi'eve.nt trouble for
the office girl. With each telephon e the girls will receive a
li tt le red book so t ha t t here
will be no danger of getting
da tes mixed.
II. A radio with loud speaker will
be ins t alled in ea ch r o om so a s
to encourage appreciation of
good music through hearing
George Olsen and his band , the
Ipana Troulladours , etc.
III. Hours :—The Junior girls will
not be allowed out later than
midnight. The Seniors may
have early privilege until 2 A.
M., except when late permission
is granted. In that case they
may be out until their conscience hurts.
IV. In regard to private cars :—No
girl is allowed to possess more
than ono car. However , she
may utilize the boy friends
when necessary.
Parking stalls will be constructed in the vicinity of the
Athletic Field. The following
are tho official parking rules :
1. No chaperonos allowed.
2. Lights ore taboo.
8. Parking parties must consist of not more than two persons.
4. No screaming allowed.
5. Each ear must be provided
with a thermometer.
0. A stop watch must bo in-

stalled to prevent earl y hours.
7. Parking time limited to
two hours.
V. Personal parking boo ths will
be erected in the four corners
of the lobby and in all main
halls. Ferns, palms and pink
lights will add to the effect.
VI. Dances :—No girl may attend
more than three dances at
West Side Park. Girls are set
to carry their own flasks—the
boys will provide them. Private dances and week-end parties held by fraternities and
sororities will be lef t to the
discretion of the said organizations.
Rules for dancing:
1. No girl allowed to dance
after her twelfth drink.
2. Each girl is responsible for
the qualifications of her man.
They are : must be in full dress
attire ; must have a manly
mustache ; must be not less
than six feet tall ; and must be
either a striking blonde or a
dashing brune tte.
3. Speed in dancing will be
regulated by the enticingness
of the music.
4. Original dances always
welcome.
VII. Lights :—The dormitory halls
will be equipped with shade
lights. Lights may be on all
night for the convenience of
the girls coming in late.
VIII. Smoking:—If the girls can convince the Council that smoking
r oom s ar e essen t ial , t hey w ill
be equipped for their convenience. No cheap smokes are
allowed and not more than
t h r e e varie t ies t o be u sed i n
one room.
IX. Campus Equipment :—Orders
have been sent in for swings
and benches to adorn the grove.
Rental of this equipment for
private use may be obtained on
request . No special campus
promenade will be mapped out
for the Junior Prom.
X. Classes :—Each girl will not be
allowed more than three cuts
•' per week. While attending
classes each girl must have at
least one eye open to the activities and at least two brain
cells alert to instructions.
Tho above include the maj or regulations. Any suggestions will be
gladly accepted by tho Council.

PROF.BEATEN UP
BY STUDENT
Mr. Rea ms Was Not Seriously
Injured.
*

Not long ago Prof. Reams left his
place of abode with his brief case under his arm , and wended his way
through the streets of Bloomsburg to
the Normal School. As you all know,
Prof. Reams is our most beloved social studies master.
He started out this bright spring
morning withou t a single care. How
could he have one when all the world
about him was full of sunshine and
the birds were singing their joyful
carols. As he neared the corner of
Iron and Main Streets, he passed by
a peculiar looking individual , standing there with a half frown and half
snicker on his face. The man had a
dark hat pulled down over his eyes,
and his coat collar turned up over his
ears so that scarcely anything but
his mouth showed.
Frof. Keams did not pay any atten tion to him at first and went on
walking at a brisk rate. As he reached the bottom of the hill near House-^
nick's Garage, he heard strange footsteps behind him. Peering around ,
he saw the same sinister figure thai:
he had previously passed. Prof.
R ea ms moved a li tt le fas t er , bu t could
not control the quivering of his knees.
Deciding to be brave, he slackened
his pace. As he did so the figure
slackened his. Halfway up the hill he
looked around and found that the figure was still dogging his footsteps.
The distinguished professor looked
back and glared at his pex'sistent pursuer. That sinister individual had
his head lowered , his eyes on Prof.
Reams ' shoes and was coming forward
at an alarming rate. The teacher
drew in a sobbi ng breath of panic and
unwilling to show his fright by running, walked as fast as his leaden
feet would go. Finally, the figure
came nearer and nearer , until, reaching the top of the hill , the odd individual passed the Prof. At • last,
after m an y effo rt s, Prof. Reams, the
only rival of Edward Payson Weston ,
the great pedestrian , had been beaten
up the hill by a student at Normal.

shooting and made two free throws.
Serafin shot a foul to tie the score at
9-9 as the half ended.
With the exception of Zara all the
players were weak from the foul

The officials for the tournament ,
"Zip " Bryant and Steve Lorda , did
fine work. There were no objections
to their decisions.
/ /

Yezerskie is fast and is an excellent
player. He was a heavy scorer in all
the games. He is tall and fast, is a
fine floor worker and is cool and
steady at critical periods of a contest.
Eddie Butkewicz , of Nanticoke ,
was placed at center. Eddie played
forward in most of his games here
but is a fine center. He is good on a
tap off and is a fine floor worker. For
all around ability, he was one of the
best players that ever took part in
the games.
Bahaley, Old Forge running guard ,
was selected for that position on the
first team. Bahaley is a consistent
scorer and makes his points at times
when they were sorely needed. He
is also fast on the floor and can guard
a man well , without committing many
fouls.
Shepella, of Newport Township,
was elected as back guard. Shepella
was rarely drawn ou t of position and
was very adept at stealing the ball
away from a player and at forcing
players to shoot hurriedly and far
from the basket.
Donahue , Nanticoke cap tain and
Bender , of Luzerne, were placed at
the forward position on the second
team. Both were excellent shots and
fast on the floor. Bender , of Newpor t, was named cen ter. The guard

HELEN OF TROY NEVER WAS
Startling Assertion Made by Student
of History.
While delving deep into ancient
Greek mythology, Willard G. Bennett,
a Freshman at the Normal School , has
discovered that there never was such
a person as Helen of Troy. Bennett's
translation of the Greek myth upon
which he bases his conclusion follows :
"The Greek and Trojan warriors
quarreled over the relative pulchritude of their respective damsels. In
order that the momentous question
might be settled forever-and-a-day,
the people of the provinces set a day
aside for the ju dging of the most '
beautiful woman of these parts of the
world. Women from all Grecian cities and Troy assembled on the Acropolis to be looked over by the judges.
As the Greeks greatly out-numbered
the Trojans all judg es appointed were
Greeks. The judges took their places on the stands. The most beautiful
women of Greece and of Troy displayed themselves before them. The
judg es after looking the beauties over
caref u ll y made their decision. The
most dignified member of the tribunal
arose and in a solemn voice announced: "Sarogahtypa is the most pulchritudinous of the fair maidens. " At
this announcement the entire Greek
populace groaned as one : "Hell 'n
of Troy. " Our modern historians not
understanding Greek, mistook the
groan for a cheer for Helen of Troy. "
