but determined Kutztown eleven.
Kutztown was the first to score , its

the second quarter the apathetic
crowd was brought to its feet to
watch a Kutztown back run GO yards
for a touchdown. The quarterback
threw a pass from his own 10-yard
line into flat territory, where it was
received after an attempt to bat it
for a ja unt across the goal line. The

Wo oxpoct to (Ind a vory active organization under his leadership, and
hope there will bo many smokers this
yoar.

Last year a survey was made by
members of the Maroon and Gold
staff to determine what the trend of
reading was in the different classes of
the College. The thought in mind
was to see if there was any appreciable difference between the reading
of those syiy.cUUi7.iviK in English and
Literature and those specializing in
other fields. To make this comparison the two groups selected were the
Senior Composition Classes and the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, the
latter group consisting of students
specializing in the commercial subj ects.
Each group was asked the quest ion : "If you could have but five
books to read and re-read which ones
would you select?" Emphasis was
placed on the fact that any book ever
prin ted could be in the selection , and
that what was wanted was a knowledge of what each student would select to read under those circumstances.
The Senior Composition Classes
consisted of thirty-five members,
while the Junior Chamber of Commerce consisted of thirty-four members.
Following is a list of the books selected most often in the Senior Composi tion Classes, with the number of
tiiiits uai h titie was selected :
The Bible—23.
Robinson Crusoe—1 0.
Great Short Stories of the World—
C.
Treasure Island—G.
Dictionary— 4.
Shepherd of the Mills—4.
Century Types of English Literature—3.
Outline of History—3.
All Quiet on the "Western Front—
3.
Short Stories by Poe—3.
Poems in Praise of Practically
Nothing—3.
Ivanhoe—3.
All other selections in this group
appeared only on one or two of the
lists submitted. It might be noted
that "Great Short Stories of the
World" and "Century Types of English Literature " arc used as texts in
different courses in the College.
The following is a list of selections
made by members of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce , with the number of times each .selection appeared.
It might be well to mention that these
students have not studied either composition or literature in the College.
Bible—22.

PROF. ANDRUSS TO
WRITE LAW BOOK

Harvey A. Andruss , Director of the
Department of Commerce , has signed
a contract with the Prentice Hall Inc.
New York City, to write a book on
business law. This book will probably
be entitled "Business Law Tests and
Cases " and is to be used in the commercial department of high schools.
Prof. Andruss states that this book
has been experimented with in five
different high schools and will again
be tested in another high school before it will be published in the early
spring. This book will be used in
law courses, along with four or five
of the leading law texts, as supplementary and test material.
Prof. Andruss has devoted much
time and energy in doing this fine
piece of work He has benefited by
the mistakes of others so that his
work ought to be a very modern and
exact book for use in high schools and
colleges,
The books are to be ready for distribution in the early spring1 by Prentice Hall Inc., one of the largest publishers of college and high school
books in America.

INTERVIEWED BY SARAH LENTZ

A decade in the life of an institution is a brief period. In June , 1920,
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., retired as principal of the Bloomsburg Noi'mal
School. At that time the school had
a Secondary Department in which
students lacking the opportunity to
secure four years of high school
training could supplement the work
of a second or third class high school
before taking up the Normal School
Curriculum
A high class College
Preparatory Department was also
maintained. Professor Goodwin was
at the head of a prosperous Commercial Department.
With the inauguration of Dr.
Chai'les H. Fisher the new revised
curricula were introduced. By the
end of the first year all departments
not strictly post high school , teacher
training work, ceased to function.
Graduates from an approved four
year high school became the entrance
»
requirement.
The two year course for the preparation of junior high school teachers
was inaugurated.
Greatly needed
repairs to the buildings were made.
A bureau of Educational Research
was set up under Dr. Herring. An
ambitious program was carried forward for two years. Extension work,
under the direction of Frances Mason , was organized on a large s^ale.
Hundreds were enrolled. Athletics
under Coach Meade made history for
the school. High class teams in football , basket ball and base ball were
always in evidence. Meade inaugurated the High School Basket Ball
Tournament which is still continued.
Dr. G. C. L. Riemer became principal in 1923. Under his administration the dining room was remodeled
and the lobby was made by tearing
out the two stairways and the offices
at each side of the main entrance.
The two year Junior High School
course was expanded to a three year
course. In 1926 the Normal School
took on now dignity as a degreegranting institution. In May, 1927 ,
the Council changed the name of the
State Normal School to the State
Teachers College at Bloomsburg. By
an act of the legislature the title of
Principal was changed to that of
President.

Dr. Fi'ancis B. Haas became Presiden t of the College in July, 1927.
Many notable advances have been
made in both a material way, and in
placing the College upon a sound
scholastic and progressive basis.
The new Benjamin Franklin Training School , the new stenm plant, new
laundry, and the entire renovation of
the two dormitories are tho most important features upon the immediate
camp us. The purchase of all the
land betweon the college grounds and
tho Dillon homo has onlnrgod the
campus to an area of nearly 50 acres.
Tho most notable advance in organization is the devolopmont of the
activities of tho Community Government Association. Tho Student Council is making a real contribution each
semester to tho organization and
management of tho college lifo. The
Fratornitios now in oxistonco are
purely Professional and Honorary
Frutornitios. High scholarship is a
prerequisite to momborship ,

Washington Crossing Park.
More than 150 years ago, General
George Washington with his poorly
clad anil half-starved army of patriots , crossed the river Delaware, on
Christmas ni ght of 1776, in a blinding snow storm, surrounded by darkness and treacherous ice- floes, and
determinedly descended upon and
captured Col. Rail's Hessians at Trenton. That valorous deed inspired the
colonists with fresh confidence and
courage in their efforts to establish a
free and independent nation .
The resting place of the Continental soldiers, who laid down their
lives while here encamped , has been
marked by a bronze tablet on a native boulder , and a noble stone tower soon to be surmounted by a beacon light to mark the spot used as a
look-out by Washington 's scouts to
observe the enemy on the New Jersey shores.
A separate section of the Park lies
five miles distant from the Crossing
site on the Bowman's Hill where, almost a century previous to the Revolution . John Pidcock , the first white
settler in Bucks County, built mills
and established an Indian trading
post. Standing today are the ruins
of the old mill , used by Washington 's
Army for grinding grain , and the
historic Thompson house, headquarters of Lord Stirling and his aids during the dark winter of '76.

* * *
Bushy Run Battle Park.
Bushy run Battle Park , located a
short distance from Route No. 993,
near Harrison City, on the Greensburg-Tra fl'ord highway, marks the site
of the battle of Bushy Run , where
the most decisive struggle in the annals of Indian warfare occurred on
August 5 and 0, 1G 73.
,
Approximately 50 acres of land is
now the property of the Commonwealth and covers the ground where
Colonel Henry Bouquet with his
Highlanders saved himself from annihilation only by a clever stratagem
and a pretended retreat. Bouquet
was on his way with supplies and
men to the relief of beleagured
Fort Pitt. Pontiac almost made good
his threat to drive the white man east
of the Alleghenies and into the sea.
Bouquet' s victory broke the backbone
of Pontiuc 's War and civilization
again could continue its westward
progress.
The site of the famous "Flourbag
Fort" behind which Bouquet's men
lay during a night of horror is on an
eminence commanding a wide view of
surrounding territory , as well as
nearby vales, and is in process of
being marked and beautified .
Eventually this park will be as
much of a national historic shrine in
the western end of the state as is
Valley Forge or Gettysburg in the
east. Bushy Run was a. short cut for
Bouquet who realized how serious
conditions were in besieged Fort Pitt.

We just heard a new Whistler story
the other day—new to us that is—
and we simply must pass it on. It is
becoming so that even to hear Whistler 's name mentioned makes us
chuckle. What a man ! The world
can well do with a few of his vitriolic
non-challant temperament.
Well , here goes the story :—
It seems that Whistler was standing bareheaded in a hat shop, the
clerk having taken his hat to another
part of the shop for comparison. A
man rushed in with his hat in his
hand , and supposing Whistler to be a
clerk , angrily confronted him.
"See here," he said , "that • hat
does n't fit."
Whistler eyed the stranger critical ly from head to fot , and then
drawled :
"Well , neither does your coat.
What' s m ore , if you 'll pardon my sayi n g so , I'll be hanged if I care much
for the color of your trousers."

* * *
Then there 's the one a member of
our faculty told his class the other
day:—
A professor of a certain college had
the general physiognomy of the late
Louis Wolheim. However , he d i d
have a very beautiful young wife.
One day he and his wife were strolling across the campus. As they passed a group of students, one of the
boys spoke a little too loud , saying
r.omething about "beauty and the
beast " The professor heard them,
and after walking his wife out of earshot returned and said , "Boys, I
don 't mind what you call me, but I do
wish you wouldn 't call my wife a
beast. "
i
¦i

* *

Ami then tl j re 's that bit of postmortem advi x1 and philosophy so
knowingly cai ved on a tombstone in
Chico , California:—
"Pass on—
Don 't waste our time
On bad biography or bitter rhyme ,
For what I m this crumbling clay
assures
And what 1 was is no affair of
yours."
?

*

*

Did you know that a flag is called
a "color " when carried by unmounted units , a "sinndard" when carried
by mounted or motor units, and an
"ensign " when carried by a ship?
* * ?

Something else might interest you.
Certain large American hotels now
supply gigolos for women guests. I
wonder how soon this new professional field will remain open , or has the
over-supply of "raw" material nlrendy swamped It?

Did you hear about Sonny Andruss

Yes, the minister came to that embassarring part of the catechism when
he asks for objections—and against
the groom 's fondest hopes no one

two to that effect. We wonder if his

THE ROAD BACK
By Erich Maria Remarque.
This is the story of the readjustment in the lives of the German
youths introduced to the world in the
writer's first novel , "All Quiet on the
Western Front." These boys—now
men who have found denth at its
worst and watched it take full toll of
their friends and comrades—cannot
settle down to the quiet of peace
after four years of the din and
clamor of war and strife.
They were eager to get home , but
now that they are there they don 't
know what to do. They are out of
place—misfits.
Their homes are
lighted , whereas they are accustomed
to the darkness of the dugouts. Their
beds are clean and soft, but they
can 't sleep in them. Their bodies
aren 't used to softness. Everything
seems close and small, and they feel
stunted , as though they were caged
and inactive. Peace is too much of a
let-down from tingling nerves and
fatigued bodies.
No longer is there glory. When
they left their homes as callow youths
there were flags and drums. They
were heroes. They return as ordinary men , tired , soul-hungry and without a place in the economic scheme of
peace-time activities. And then tliey
realize, even more than they did in
the trenches, that the Allies weren 't
their enemies—that together with
the Allies they were aligned against
man 's ever-present enemy—his own
egotistic folly.
"The Road Back" is a book well
worth reading. It will do more to
dissipate jingoism and foster peaceful
relations among nations than a hundred pulpit sermons.
SUSAN SPRAY
By Sheila Kayc-Smitli.
This is a story of a passionate paradox written by the author of
"Joanna Godden " and "Shepherds in
Sackcloth." Susan Spray is pictured
as religious but unscrupulous , a humbug yet sincere; a pagan in wantonness and a prude in evangelism.
When Susan Spray was little more
than three years old she was sent to
work on a farm. She would sit all
day in tho field and shako a rattle to
scare away the birds. One day a
heavy storm came up, and she was
afraid to stay, and yet more afraid to
go home. At last the storm frightened her more than tho chastisement
she feared , and she ran home. To
justify her uction she told her parents
that she had seen the Lord while out
in the field , and that He told her to
go home. Her mother doubted the
story, but her father believed her and
tho following Sunday took her to
church to toll the yarn to the brethren. So she began her evangelistic
career through fear and falsehood.
After her mother died , hor fa ther
took the children on the road , seeking
a now homo. After walking all day,
ho loft tho children in a barn while
ho returned to an inn thoy had passed. Ho didn 't return , and tho noxt
morning Susan found him doad in a
clump of bushes. Then sho marshalled hor younger sisters and brothors
into tho town of Horsham whoro thoy
wore put in the workhouso,
Susan was hired out to a farmer
for whom sho worked in tlio field during the day, and pvonehod in tho
ovoning and on Sunday. Horo sho
mot a hop drier and lnnrriod him.
Th en sho married aguin—this timo a
man who humovod hor and pretomlod

A FRESHMAN STUDENT
"DISCOVERS" COLLEG E i What Other Colleges
So this is college! At last the hoped for anil sought-after goal has been
reached. The dreams of a high school
student have been fulfilled , bu t in
quite an unexpected manner.
The college of dreams consists of
one round after another of par ties
and dances , of sophisticated , awe-inspiring professors whose learning is
a marvel to behold , and of handsome
men and beautifu l girls wiling away
hours and hours in the most fascinating pastimes.
Drea ms of horror—founded on rumors which state tha t cluipcl is a
fearful bore—are everywhere.
Athletic events are prominent in
the picture. How thrilling they are!
Either the home team wins by a
touchdown made in the last three
minutes or by a single basket caged
just as the whistle blows , or else the
brave team—laughing at their misfortune—is wildly lauded for its
good sportsmanship in the face of de feat. The traditions and honor of
the school are so dear that the very
thou ghts of them bring tears to the
eyes and tightens the hearts of those
who love their Alma Mater so well.
Thus is college pictured in imagin ation.
The college of reality ! Mow dif ferent! There arc parties to be sure ,
but there are lessons, too. The faculty is still a trifle awe-inspiring, but
friendly enough. The Freshmen , as
expected , aren 't showered with either
sarcasm or criticism by the upper
classmen , but are left strictly to
themselves.
The appearance of
Freshman boys, adorned by sillylooking white caps and the girls—
pale and shiny , wearing white cotton
stockings and signs on their backs
give the on-looker somewhat of a
jolt , but aren 't as much of a disap pointment as the sight of an upper classman , without poise or beauty ,
flutterin g around in a manner worthy
only of a "greenie. " The dreaded
assembly periods aren 't as bud as had
However , they
been anticipated.
are boring enough to the perspirin g
students who have to listen to long
announcements which do not concern
them. The only relief comes when
the whole assemblage lustily sings.
The traditions of the school are regarded lightly—at least they appear
to be. The teams are defea ted and
censured as well as praised. It certainly is not the college a Freshman
expects—it' s a much more h uman ,
earthly place, less like a story, more
real.

SECOND YEAR FOR JU NIOR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Junior Chamber of Commerce ,
the youngest under graduate organi zation on the Campus , started its
so ond year by electing new officers.
Joseph Gribbin is President ; Gerald
I l u r t e r , Vice-Preside nt; Elvira James,
Secretary, and Doro thy Semic , Treasurer.
It is rumored that there will be
cons titutional changes in the organization this year. Wo under stand
meetings will be held bi-weekly other
than weekly.
If the new officers carry out the
policies of the retirin g executors , the
members of this organization can
look forward to many interesting and
instructive programs.
The organization with eighty members on its roll expects to oury
through some of the activlt ioH it
could not swing last year because of

PHI SIGMA PI PLANS BIG YEAR

MEN'S GLEE CLU B

The program for the yearly activities of Phi Sigma Pi shows tha t the
fraternity will be very active again
this year. As a professional fraternity Phi Sigma Pi has planned many
pro grams of a professional na ture.
The people in charge of these progra ms are taken from the roll of the
fraternity , fro m the faculty und other
leaders in the educational field.
The programs also include meetings of a social nature. The purpose
of the social side of the calendar is in
keeping with the main purpose of tho
fraternity in tha t it encourages good
fello wship and offers an opportunity
for the exchange of educational
ideas.
Some of tho interesting points of
the cale ndar for the year 1931-32
are : Al umni Evenin g; New Member
Ni ght ; Educational Talks and Discussions; the Annual Theatre Party ;
Founders Day Ban quet and the Fraternity Dance. With such "Highlights " Phi Sigma Pi feels that this
is goi ng to be an altogether successf ul year.

Rehearsals for the December concert are well under way by the Men 's
Glee Club.
Miss Moore , the direc tor , has stated that the balance of parts is unusually good , and that the work of the
organi zation promises to be oven better than that of last year.
The new members of tho club are :
Firs t Tenors—Merninger , Po t rilla ,
Kelly.
Second Telor.s—Knorr , Miller.
Firs t Bass—Heinibach , Cox , McKechnie , Reed.
Second Bass—Thompson , Makowski.

About Cutting Classes.
Before cutting classes think of the
poor students at North Carolina , who
have to pay fifty cents for every cut
they take. Or worse than that, wha t
would you do if you were at another
University in the South where cuts
are ten dollars a day and double tha,t
before and after vacations?

:—°~—

Here is an idea! Three studen ts
at the University of Alabama live in
a tent and cook their own meals in
an effort to cut down expenses. Wha t
do you think?

To the Reporters.
The editor sat in his uneasy chair ,
His thoughts ran on apace :
How can I crowd a yard of report
Into a foot of space?
'Tis three to one , you surely see,
The thing can not be done.
Therefore the poor editorial , "we "
Will have to "cut 'er down. "
And now. dear paper reporters,
That nothing 'may go wrong,
Please send ideas one yard deep
But only one foot long.
