The question of Freshmen Customs
has for a long time been a topic of
interesting discussion at College. We
were anxious to get before the studen t body, especially the first year
students, the thought of our representative bodies of student activity,
on the purpose of Freshmen Customs.
With the following opinions as
"thOught-pfovofcefs " We want everyone to give his attention to "Customs" for within the next few weeks
we are going to ask, "How Can Customs Be Improved? "
Henry Warman.
"Customs enable a student to adapt
himself to college life. "
Mary Betterly.
"Customs aid Freshmen to get accustomed to college life. "
Jack Hall.
"Customs afford the Freshmen an
opportuni ty to become acquainted ,

and

also

eliminate

some

of

the

brusque manner brought to college
from high school. "
Alex Shepela.
"Customs afford an opportunity for
students to learn self-discipline. "
George Rinker.
"C ust oms de t ermine whe t her , in the
rush and hurry of college life, a studen t will sink or swim."
Marion E. Hinkel.
"Freshmen Customs are a test of
real sportsmanship. "
From these statements it would
seem that the pui'pose of customs is
to en able t he new st uden t s t o more
quickly adap t themselves to college
life.

entertainment course "The Bohemian
Girl ," by Balf e, was presented by the
Opera Comique Company on Friday
evening before a capacity house.
"The Bohemian Girl " was first proJrced in London , November 27, 1843 ,
at Drury Lane. It was translated
into various European languages and
was one of the few English operas to
be well received in critical Germany.
In France the opera secured for
Balfe the Cross of the Legion of
Honor .
The Friday evening audience gave
every evidence of thoroughly enjoying the opera , although chorus and
orchestra were lacking, and the opera
itself was so condensed that the story
was lost before the close of the performance.
Perhaps the most artistic work of
the performance was heard in the
quartet near the close of the second
act , and in the ensemble number "Silence, Silencb, tha I_idy Moon. "

The annual picnic of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce was held on
October 15 at Spring Brook , between
Numidia and Catawissa.
There was something doing every
minute of the afternoon. The feature of the day was the baseball
game staged by the "Cardinals " and
the "A's." Naturally the "Cardinals"
had to win 8-5. You should have seen

"Parents Day " and a football victory
over Bloomsburg—well , why go into
a flowery dissertation on the celebra tion . It didn 't occur, for Bloom upset the "dope " and trounced Mansfield to the tune of 12-0.
From the kick-off, Bloom , on a gcr.ies of line bucks and off -tackle slices,
advanced to the 20-yard line and
with but 3 yards to go for a first
down some overly anxious Bloom
linesman "slugged " an opponen t and
Bloom was forced to punt ou t of
bounds from the 35-yard line. Mansfield was held for downs and punted
to the 50-yard line. Not to be denied ,
Bloom again started goalward and on
straight line bucks advanced to the
G-yard line from where "Dinny "
Thomas on an off -tackle slice took it
over for the first score of the game.
Captain Warman kicking against the
wind missed a placement for the
extra point. Score G-0.
Bloom then kicked off. On a series of nice reverses Mansfield reached our 20-yard line when Bloom 's
first-string line entered the game and
held for downs on the 15-yard line.
After an exchange of punts , Bloom
received on the 20 -yard line and on
two end runs by Thomas and Jaflin
advanced to the 50-yard line. Kreitzer then plunged for 10 more, but
Mansfield tigh tened , and on an attempted pass over the goal line which
fell shor t, Mansfield received the ball
on the 40-yard line. On a pass and a
15-yard penal ty, Mansfield advanced
to Bloom 's 20-yard line and things
were looking badly for Bloom when
t ho whistle blew , endi ng the half.
M a n sfield 's kick off at the start of
the second half landed over the goal
li ne and was put into play on our 20ya rd line. After an exchange of
punts , Bloom again received on tho
20-ya rd line and advanced 10 yards
but lost the ball on a fumble. On tho
first play Mansfield passed to the 15yard line and again threatened to

ABOUT TEACHERS ' SALARIES
There is a current problem in
which all connected with education
are vitally interested. That is the
reduction of teachers ' salaries.
The people of these sovereign
states entrust to the hands of the
teachers the future of youth , the fu ture of the nation. They expect the
teacher to brin g with him a fair
knowledge of the world , a goodly
sprinkling of its culture so that the
studen ts may benefit from contact
with a person of wide knowledge and
keen in tellect. At the same time
they expect the teacher to exist on a
minimum wage, one which would
meet only the most essential living
expenses.
It a tenener is to represent to tne
stude nts that which is most desirable
in k nowledge and culture , he mus t
travel , read , see cur r e nt shows and
listen to lectures. Ho must constantly study. How is ho to do this? By
means of his proverbial luck of good
looks? You can 't expect a teacher
who is a credit to the profession to
remain even professional very long if
ho h ns to eke out a pittance wage by
doi ng "road-work"—drivi ng a truck
or laying cement for tho State Highway Bureau—durin g his summers.
There is not a community so poor
that it can afl'ord to under-pay its
teachers. If you have tho confiden ce
in tho teacher to qualify him to direct
tho future of tho country 's citizens
you must pny him onough so that ho
tan maintain his qualifications and
improve his scholastic and social
standing' To talk of reducin g tho
tenchors salaries is absurd. For tho
amount of preparation thoy go thru
and the qualities they are oxpoctod to
have, they are still tho poorost paid
of tho professional groups , co ll ogo
trained.

NOISE!
Many movements are on foot looking to the elimination of unnecessary
noise. May we take the initial step
in a new movement to be headed toward the same goal? Can't something be clone about the girls' lockers
on the second floor corridor of Noetling Hall? There seems to be a lot
of unnecessary banging of tin and
shouting from one end of the corridor to the other. You must realize,
that after all , classes are still in session and once in a while the students
in those classes do want to grasp a
word or two of wisdom from the lips
of the teacher.
Of course we realize that there are
different kinds of noises. . Webster
defines noise as "a sound of any sort
whether loud or harsh or low, pleasant or melodious. " That definition
covers a multitude of sins.
Noise may be the honk of an automobile horn or the rich tones of the
highest paid prima donna. It may
be the quiet conversation of bashful
lovers or the. rat-.t at of a riveting
hammer. It may be the sweet melody of a Stradivarius or the booming of ten-inch guns on a politically
maneuvering battleship.
Noise as a general thing, is indicative of life, energy and motion. Inanimate things are noiseless as well
as lifeless. A world without sound
would be a world without life or action. No progress has ever been
imule without e«tj i'es{j oiidi ug iioise in
greater or less degree.
We once knew a professor of geology to whom the most exquisite symphony was just so much noise, but
the sound of his geological hammer
chipping oft" so m e rare spec im en of
pre-historic rock was music to his
ears.
So , after all, this matter of noise
is to some extent at least a question
of individual taste and discrimination. What is pleasant to one is distasteful to another.
Bu t t hen , there is the old axiom
that the empty barrel makes the most
noise, and , it is visually found that
unnecessary noise is produced by unnecessary people. But then , on tho
other side , one might say that a
graveyard is the quietest known
p l ace , yet most of us prefer unnecessary noise to that.
What really started us thinking of
noise seems pretty far oiF just now.
but we must yet back to the subject.
We have almost argued ourselves
into wanting the banging of lockers
and the shrill school-girlish shrieking
of greetings and banter in that old
second . floor corridor.
It gives a
youthfu l twang to the atmosphere.
But couldn 't the rattle of tin be
abandoned , and the gleeful, exhuber
ant chatter reduced to the general
tones of the bashful lovers ' conversation mentioned above?

if you take the year of your birth

add your age, add 365, subtract G15,
then the last two figures will be your

BOOK REVIEW S
I

"LARRY"

Larry was the only son of Mv. and
Mrs. Thomas J. Foster, of Ridgewood ,
N. J. He was graduated from Ridgewood High School when he was eighteen years of age and the following
Sep tember, 1923, he entered Lafayette College. During the summer following his Sophomore year he we*nt
to Arizona. Shortly before his vacation was supposed to have been
ended , he was killed by a run-away
• ,
horse.
Because he revealed his true feelings so frankly on problems that face
every college , st uden t, his views are
intensely in teresting. This collection
of letters, extracts from his diary and
some of his literary works, expounding his theories on religion, school ,
petting, fraterni t ies, etc., is a ra ther
typical cross section of college life.
The author employs a breezy,
youthful , style and the book is entertaining and has some sections which
possess good qualities. It is well
worth anybody 's evening—providing
they have nothing else to do.

ANTHOLOGY OF WORLD PO ETRY

(Edited by Mark Van Doren)
t itle of this book alone indi eates that the editor has undertaken
a collosal task. This anthology, as
are most anthologies, is very typical.
Not indeed a collect ion of verse ,
which breathes the very soul of poetry, instead a very staid and respectable collection of poetry. Mr. Van
Doren is a very painstaking student
with an infinite eye for detail. Of
course if we are to judge, such qualities are essential for the fulfillment
of the anthologist's craft to the utmost degree.
However as t o the book it self we
must not be too disparaging. The
poems are representative in spite of
Mr. Van Doren 's efforts to make them
seem otherwise. All the old favorites , Shelley, Keats, and in m odern
times Walter De La Mare and Kipling are incl uded in the British section. The editor is entitled to his
selections such as they are, but, however pleased we had been to see Francois Villon included in the Anthology,
we considered the exclusion of Heinrich Pleines verse as unpardonable.
Of the America n sec tion the less
of literature from the Shoshone Indians to George Santayana. However
we look in vain for many of our favori tes.
As a r efere n ce w ork fo r the "student" of poetry it is highly recommended , but anyone who enjoys
reading may by a process of selection
choose a n d disca r d th e chaff f r om the
wheat.

memory of legions of men who, in
one guise or another , swelled the
ranks of this itinerant commercial
army, one whose ranks are as sadly
depleted as those of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
Many of these vendors were picturesque and interesting characters,
all of whom had fanciful tales to tell
—some of which were true. Some
there were who had queer names and
epithets. There was one in New
York City calld "Dewdrop " because
at all seasons of the year he had a
dewdrop pendan t from the tip of his
nose. There was "Leather Breeches," "Bull Neck," "Gimpy " and many
others.
The vendor afforded the only real
buying oppor tunity for the poor; the
stores of established merchants served only the rich and aristoci% atic.
These vendors hawked almost every
conceivable commodity , each one as
a rule confining his wares strictly to
his own line. There was the charcoal
man , the soap fat man , the pepper
pot man. There were the vendors of
fruits, pins, music,- clocks, clams an d
what-not. There was the scissors
grinder, the chimney sweep, the tinker , the umbrella mender—and many
more itinerant workers and craftsmen.
Today we can still meet some of
these wandering workmen on the
streets of our large cities. There is
the mender of umbrellas with his indescribale cry , the scissors grinder
with his tinkling bell and sing-song
call , the blind maker of brooms and
others. Bu t gone are the picturesque
hawkers of yestryear. They are one
with the memory of the town crier,
the village tavern (with its "mug o'
suds " on the sign post) and the horse
and buggy.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES *
In 1932 America will again have
the oppor tunity of witnessing another great athletic fete in the Pasadena Bowl in California. This will
be the second time for the Olympics
to* be held in this country, the firs t
even t taking place at St. Louis in
1904.
The Oly mpic games were started
in 570 B. C. and were regularly organi zed and held as festivals. In this
early period they contained practically the same spor ts as today, bu t some
were known by different names.
They included the torch -race (modern relay), broad j umping, discus
and javelin throwing, wrestling and
boxing. They varied very little from
the presen t day sports and are the
origin of all oi-ganized sport competition. The prizes varied greatly ;
the wreath of olive at Olympai; parsley leaves of Nemtja ; articles of considerable value and , in a few cases,
even money. At Panathenea , the
prize offered was the painted vase
known as Panathenaic amphora e,
from which model all of our present
day prizes are patterned. This trophy
bore on one side a picture of the con test in which the vase was won ; on
the other , the figure of Athena with
the inscription , "From the games at
Athens. "
The games were discontinued for
a number of years but were revived
by a Greek merchant by the name of
A Avcroff in 189(5. The first was
held at Athens anil the stadium was
built to hold 45,000 people. The regular sports were featured. United
States sent five men from Boston and
four from Princeton University.
These entrants succeeded in winning
every event in which they were entered , although none of them held
American championships.
The second mee t was held in Paris
in June. 1900. American athletes
pi'oved their superiority by winning
eighteen of the twenty-four events.
The third meeting was in St. Louis
in 1904 in r-onnection with the
Louisianna I'urchase Exposition.
Americans won the meet, but the
Amei'ican Indians made a good showing, followed by Africans, Moros ,
Patagonians, Syrians and Philipinos.
James Thorpe won the pentathlon by
a margin of fourteen poin ts and the
poin ts
deca thlon with
8 ,412.900
which would have stood as a world's
record had he no t been declared professional for accep ting a small payment for playing a game of baseball.
In t he same year L ouis T ew anani , another American Indian , finished second in the 10,000 meters race. Since
then France has produced one broad
jumpe r and America three who have
beaten 25 feet. Great Britain 's two
best sprinters since the World War
have been a West Indian and a native of British Guiana.
In 1908 the fourth meet was held
in London. It was won by Great Britian. There were no outstanding features except the addition of several
new frames.
The fifth of the series was held in
1912. The United States was first
wi th eighty-five points, Finland second with twenty-nine, and Sweden
third with twenty-seven points.
Because of the war the sixth mooting of tho world' s bes t ath let es t o bo
held in 1910 was cancelled.
The sevonth meet was held in 1920
at Antwerp. America was first , Finla n d seco n d, followed by Sweden and
British Isles. America 's strength lay
in the sprints , hurdles, relays and
ju mps.
Paris in 1024 was again tho contor
of tho Olympics—th o oighth mooting.
Two thousand athletes represented
forty-nvo different nations participated. Tho United States entered in
twonty-sovqn ovonts and scored
twelve first places, making flvo of tho
nine world's rocords established.
The last moot , 1928 , was held in
Amsterdam , whore forty-sovon countries contested. This moot was distinguished by a wltlo distribution of
awards among tho different nations.
The Unitod Statoa made two new

GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL
GOING STRONG
The upperclass gh'ls have come to
the conclusion t hat t he Freshme n are
superior in Volley Ball. Friday, October 9 , the Freshman Team 11 won
a decisive victory from Team 12.
Dot Har t man seemed to be of the
opinion that she was doing her bit by
yelling "Whoopee " while the rest of
her team really played the game to
make the final score 42-14.
Team 13 beat the upper-class Team
1 on Friday. Merrill and Vanhorn
starred for the Frosh. They had to!
They were the only ones of their
team to turn out. The upperclassmen had to loan them three players
to play their game. The score was
50 -22.
In a very uninteresting game i earn
4 lost to Team 3 by a great weakness
in returning the ball. Team 3 served
again and again to be met by fumbles
and blank stares by their opponents.
The fast members of the vic t orious
team rolled up a 50-8 score very easilyIn keen competition Team 7 won
from Team 8 by a 36-22 score. This
was the closest of the games played
thus far and offered more in the way
of excitement to the spectators.
Team 0 lost to Team 5 with a 3617 score. Players on each side did
well , bu t Team 5 outplayed their opponents from the very start.
The compe tition among the girls is
keen , as it should be. At one time
or another during the tournament ,
all girls taking part in Volleyball will
play against one another.

Through the guidance of Prof.

The group is to be divided into two

it looks as though Tuesday and
Thursday evenings from 7:15 unti l
7:45 will be the time set for instructions.
The sorvlces of Phil Guinard , expert dancing toachor , have been secured. He will be ably assisted by a
number of exper ienced dancers.
So far thero have been almost a

The winter season of Waller Hall
opened with a Governing Board meeting on Monday evening, Sep tember
21, 1931.
The mee ting was given over to the
discussion of plans for the coming
year. The heads of committees were
appoin ted , and the committees arc
now ready to go into action.
Plans for Room 319 were discussed
and a committee appointed. Muriel
Thomas is Chairman of the committee which is to be composed of three
Y. W. C. A. members and one Freshman girl. Helen Smith , the treasurer
of the association , is am ex- oflicio
member of the committee. This year
each committee is to have at least
one Freshman member. The Board
deems this advisable because it will
bring the new girls closer to the organization. Room 310 is to be used
as a club room , and it is the aim of
the committee to have it comfortably
furnished and equipped for the recreation of the girls.
This year the dormitory is to be divided into distinct teuntories, over
which one member of the Governing
Board has charge. They will be responsible for the general welfare of
the girls.
The House Committee1 is making
extensive plans for the beautif ying of
Waller Hall. They have been inspired by the excellent improvements
made in the building during the summer Ruth Lewis is the chairman of
this^ committee and will be assisted by
Mercedes Shovlin and Mary Taylor.
The old girls in Waller Hall look forward eagerly to the completion of
the work of the House Committee,
for they know and appreciate the
,2,-reat improvements that have been
made in the dormitory.
The committee on fire regulations
has not been fully organized. Lois
DeMott is our Fire Chief this year
and the rest of the members of the
Fire Squad will be appointed in the
near future.
It is with great anticipation that
