SPEAK S HERE TODAY

Movie Depicting Rise Of Civilizat ion Was Also Shown
Last Summer
Brought back to the College last
Friday evening, November 22,
after having scored a success during
the Su mmer Session, the moving
pict u re, "The Hu m an Adven ture,"
gave faculty and students alike a new
and differen t realization of mankind's
glorious past.
The picture, produced by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago under the scient ific direc tion of it s
internationally famous founder, Dr.
James H. BreasteA, recovered for the
audience many lost pages of history
and helped to piece together the rather
fragmentary story known to the ordinary student. It graphically told the
"most remarkable process known to
us in the universe, the rise of man
from savagery to civilization."
Using an airplane as the mechanical
device for transporting the audience
from one place t o another , the picture
depicted four great World Empires.
An introduction, showing the world
from the beginning of time to the era
of the first hairy animals oh earth,
lead to the splendid review set up by
Dr. Breasted to show the story of

After Re-balloting
Three Times
Ray Schrope, junior, was selected to
act as president of the A Cappella

by John Andreas, Bloomsburg, and
Florine Moore, Berwick. All officers

the selections to bo used for the
Christmas holiday season.

ETHIOPIAN AFFAIR COMMUNITY
THURS. TEN-CENT DANCES
U.S. NOT NEUTRAL , HE CLAIMS
Speakin g before a largs audience
of facul ty, students , and visi t ors t o
the College, this morning in chapel ,

Dr. George Earie Raiguel, in ternationally famous lecturer and interpreter, sta t ed America 's true feeling towards the present Italo-Ethiopian
affair , claiming that "the United
States, is not taking a neutral stand
now."
The well-liked commentator ex
plain ed that "although we are not
anti-Italy, we are anti-war. In other
w ords , our attitude is new in international relations; not only de we
consider that nation using warlike
measures to obtain its objectoves - no
matter how right those objectives
are - is an outlaw among the nations
but we also renounce any right to use
such methods ourselves."
Before explaining the Ethiopian
war Dr. Raiguel stated that "it is
impossible to legislate the nation into
objectives without any approach. "
By that he said he means that no
matter how laudable the objective
may be , an evolutionary adjustment
is necessary.

Exceeds Those Of
Past Years
Students of tho College contributed
a total sum of $25.85 to the National
Red Cross, in a collection taken up at

Dr. E. H. Nelson, who handled the
local contribution, oxpressod pleasure
in tho fact that tho 1036 contribution
marked a largo increase ovor that of
1938 and 1034. Ho explained that tho
reaction of students to tho annual call

growing consciousness of tho oxistonco of a really charitable organization , and one which may be considered
worth-while.

The Maroon and Gold Dance Band,
in cooperation with the Community
Government Association, has been
offering an hour 's program of danci n g

WINTER FESTIVAL

Represente d At Funeral Services Annual Y.W.C.A. Bazaar Will Be
Held In College Gym,
And Also Hold Services
December 7
At College
Since the very sudden and shocking death of Milton Goldstein, freshman student from Scranton, Friday
night , November 1.4, scores of communications have been coming into the
Maroon and Gold office offering tributes from fellow students in memory
of their late college mate.
Representatives of the faculty and
student body of t he College a tt ended
the funeral services of M ilt on Goldstein last Sunday afternoon , at Scranton. Services were held in the Linden
st ree t Temple , of which the college
freshman was a member. Those
attending from Bloomsburg were: Dr.
Francis B. Haas, Professor John Koch,
Dr. Thomas North, Mr. George Buchheit , Walter Moleski, Mervin Meriele ,
William Morgan, Ray McBride, Charles Michael, and George Lewis.
On Wednesday, the College community joined in a short and impressive
memorial service, held in the College
auditorium. Tributes were paid at
that time by several members of the
facul ty and the student body. Hymns
were sung under direction of Miss
Harriet Moore.
Some of the many fine tributes
written to the memory of Milton Goldstein by the students of the College
follow:
"Goldie was a good "scout ;1 he never
shirked a duty nor ignored a friend."
"Goldie, as he was called by most
of his campus associates, was one of
those all too few persons with a natural, appealing personality. He was
one of that small number of first-year
students who became well-known to
all within a short time after they
came here. He had won a place in our
College life, even though he was with
us such a short time. We offer our
most sincere condolences to his
fa mily."
"I did not know him intimately, but
on the few occasions I did associate
with him , he see'med to be a cheerful

A PLAN FOR PROGRESS
In an institution such as we have at
Bloomsburg there is no strong reason
why each student can't make himself
an example for every other student.
There is no good reason why Seniors
cannot become good examples for juniors , sophomores, and freshmen, why
juniors cannot become good examples
for freshmen and sophomores, why
sophomores cannot become equally
good examples for freshmen, nor why
freshmen cannot set desirable examples for visiting high school students or others who have occasion to
visit the campus.
Such a set-up more or less approaches a seemingly unattainable
ideal , but it is the pure and logical one
for a civilized group. It is one now
needed at Bloomsburg and other similar institutions , where there are classes or units of different ages and
varying degrees of mental growth.
Peculiar as it may seem, there are
many human beings who grow both
mentally and physically, a n d ye t they
lack the control of themselves necessary to keep them from reverting to
the type of activity disp layed i n thei r
younger days. As a result there are
no outward signs of progress and the
progress of the group to which they
belong. And—to be sure—progress
isn 't progress unless it is expressed
outwardly.

GO AND GET IT YOURSELF
After every issue of the Mai'oon
nnd Gold there are a f ew students who
come into the office asking whoro their
issue of the paper is. Some oven go
so far as to complain about not receiving their pnpers. While thoso in
the office are always willing to give
pnpers to students desiring thorn ,
ovon several days after distribution ,
the situation 1b ono calling for editorial mention to remind students that
all papers for day students will bo
circulated through the day rooms nnd
papers for boarding students through
post; off ice boxes.
All studonts are classified under
those two groupings, and there is no

geater peat
From the Handbook of 1905 we discovered th at on ly seven t een da t es
were list ed on the calendar, and at
least .six of those were merely statements announcing the beginning and
ending of vacation periods.
The Handbook at that time was a
sm all , paper-covered, booklet containing forty-five pages, a dozen of
which were devoted for advertising.
Do not eat with your knife is one
of the hints on table manners. Under
the title, "poin ters," is the following:
While the authorities encourage much
social freedom between ladies and
gentlemen about the buildings an'd
grounds at times when this does not
interfere with school duties, this freedom is not permitted on the streets of
town or any place off the grounds.
Special attentions, which exhibit intimacies between ladies and gentlemen are strictly forbidden.

EDITORIAL LIMELIGHT
Beginning with this issue and
continuing in many succeeding
issues of the paper the Maroon
and Gold will reprint one selected
editorial, taken from college papers received by the exchange department. The editorials will
be printed for the sole purpose of
informing BJoomsburg students
of the edi t orial t ho u ghts of ot her
inst itu t ions, and under no conditions should they be interpreted
as being of local opinion. -Credit
lines will be given the colleges
from which editorials are taken.
THE MOUTHPIECE
Comments are occasionally heard
by disgrunted students condemning
those other students who take up a
la r ge portion of the class hour in
holding discussion with the instructor
teaching the course. Discussions in
class, they argue, are for the benefit
of all , and even if every member of
the class does not participate there is
no reason for any one of two individuals to argue with the instructor for
most of the hour.
Undoubtedly there is some cause
for complaint here. Offcen certain
u n derg rad u at es, who ca n on ly be
called pseu do in t ellec tu als , find tha t
taking as much time as possible in
class for discoursing with the instructor is an excellent means of inflating their already over-pampered egos.
Other students probably hold drawnout cross examinations with their instructors with an eye toward a good
grade.
On the other hand, many of the
students who are accused of taking
up too much time arguing in class
doubtlessly have a genuine interest
in tho subject at hand nnd wish to
have certain points concerning it
cleared up. Still, we welcome remedies thnt would effectivel y silence the
solf-appointecl mouthpieces of the

Editor 's Notebook
Celebration of Book
Books
Week from November
Yesterday
17 to November 24
brought to light many
interesting facts concerning books.
In the first place it served to remind
many readers of the importance of
books in the world today. Educa tion
is p ract ically based on books ; books
offe r the most important source of information. They are common , so
common that we fail to appreciate
them as we should. Eumenes II,
King of Pergamus in the second century B. C, would have considered
himself in Paradise had he been given
the opportunity to secure as many
books as we have today. It was he
who introduced parchment upon which
to write. He did so because papyrus
was hard t o fi nd and he didn 't want
to see the progress of writers hindered because of lack of material.
In France, books were t ho u ght of
so highly- during the sixteenth century! that many book-lovers dyed
their clothes the same colors as their
favorite books as a symbol of their
great esteem for them. (Today,
finger nails seem to have taken the
place of the books in that respect.)
Also in France, during the sixteenth
century, people owning books never
went away from their homes unless
they had their books with them. The
following century, bookbinders wgto
so highly regarded that they were exempt from paying taxes! In medieval times in Europe, books were so
much in demand that owners of the
few in existence were obliged to chain
them to their shelves to keep them
from being stolen.

•

What of books today?
Books
We have them; we
Today "
own them ; and we use
them. In fact we use
them in several respects : students use
them for information ; laymen use
them for pleasure; while many people
use them for show, for part of the
grain in tha t veneer of cu lture of
which we all have a little. If you
challenge that statement, make a
little investigation for yourself. Go
to your neighbors' homes sometime
and take inventory of the literature
to be found there. Then start a conversation ; you will be surprised to
find that most of the books found on
the shelves of book-cases are there
for show, just as an empty vase or
ivy bowl is placed on a stand for the
artistic effect. But we aren't going
to attack anyone for seeking beauty
and art. They are desirable, very
desirable in our present "campaign "
to bring back the importance of the
home , an importance which has been
lost in the accumulation of outside
interests. We could , however, buy
books with a double purpose, buy
them for both content and decorative
purposes.

'

In continuing our educational
policy started in last issue, we
have decided to acquaint the
reader with modern literature.
The first—and last—style of
con temporary writing we will
demonstrate is that of Gertrude
Stein. Here it is:
"We hope all of you saw the football game with East Stroudsburg because if you did n't see the football
game you missed a great football
game because this football game was
one of the best football games we
have seen since we have been going
to football games. The Stroudsburg
teaim is called the Big, Red but we
don't know why they are called the
Big Red unless they are called the
Big Red because they are red that
is they wear red uniforms but they
would be the Big Red maybo but if
they were big then they would be
the Big Red maybe but they weren't
but they are called the Big Red even
though they are not neither big nor
red they are neither red nor big
that is they are not big nor are they
red because it is their suits that are
red they are not red and they are
not so very big."
Here, studen t s, ends this apparently endless dissertation by
Gertrude. The two ideas which
she tried to convey are, fi rst—
the Stroudsburg game was a
good one, and second—their
nickname is the Big Red.
Speaking of the game—we
feel a little elated that our prognosticition was correct. We
predicted that Bloom would win
by two touchdowns.
\Also speaking of nicknames,
our ainieuc teams are somet imes referred to a t the ot her
Teachers ' Colleges
as the
"Bloomers." This is especially
true at Shippensburg.
Wonder if the upperclassmen are
afraid of the Frosh or vice versa?
The annual football classic between
the two was called off. It jus t saved the Frosh from a beating anywayit' s no t i n t he books for them t o win
that game.
Mr. Naegle 's program was as fine
as any he has played here. He was
a little late in starting, Mr. Naegle
said af ter the program, becau se the
piano was out of tune. He had used
the sa m e pia n o i n Philadelphia and
liked it so well that he had it sent up
he re, but the variations in weather,
temperature, etc., put it out of tune.
It had to be re-tuned.
Miss Moore was chagrined—
she told her music classes for
weeks abend about the progra m
—then she developed a severe

•

cold and had to stay home the
night of the program!
Rumors of another earthquake were quickly disproved
when it was discovered that the
vibrations felt all over Waller
Hall were the result of a dance
being enacted by Mary Lorah in
the dining room—as only Mary
can dance.
H ere's one for the Poetry
Club, seen on Dr. Nelson's desk:
Epidermis, epider mis
You are so very thin
How beautifully you fit me;
If you should ever quit me
How could I keep me in?
Dr. Nelson is on the verge of hiri n g a pack of bloodhounds t o h elp
him solve a mystery. It seems that
two whole pounds of perfectly good
candy disappeared from his desk last
week. Never mind, sir, two po u nds
would have made you sick anyway.
Beware, fellows, the next time he
has candy in his desk it may not be
"perfectly good."
Mr. Reams has something preying
on his mi nd, too. It's squirrels.
That is, he's worried about the
am ou n t of food the squirrels on the
campus are getting! He stopped a
member °i Student Council in the
hall the other day and, with a genuine note of pathos in his voice, began t o plead tha t Cou ncil appropria te
money to feed them this winter.
"Why, " he said, "I saw one of the
poor little fellows that was no bigger
'round than this."—using his fingers
t o make a circle about the siz e of a
doughnut.
We're all caught up on curren t events again , thanks to Dr.
Raiguel. Did you know that he
prepared to practice medicine
and holds an M. D. from Pennsylvania? Wonder how he became interested in his present
field?
Probably got started
diagnosing ailments -of people,
then one thing led to another and
he finally got up to doing the
same thing with' nations.
If our next speaker, R icha rd
Halliburton , talks the interesting
way in which he writes, he can
talk to us for three or four hours
and no one will object in the
least.
Only a few hours till vacation starts now! Guess everyone
can use this one. And after we
com e back baske t ball season will
be st a r ted so we'll have Romething else to predict scores for.
Have to stop now or we'll be
over in the Editorinl Jots.

SCIENCE TEACHERS GO
TO CORNELL CONVENTION
Dr. Kimber C. Kuster and Pro. fessor S. I. Shortess, ins t ruc t ors in
the science depar t men t of the College
attended the seventh Conference on
the Educa tion of Teachers in Science,
held at Cornell University, Friday
and Saturday, November 15 and 16.
Prac t icall y every phase of science
teaching was discussed during the
conference.
One of t he mos t important topics
•considered was the one dealing with
science taught in the elementary
systems. The main speaker for that
particular meeting was J. Cayse
Morrison , Assistan t Commissioner
for Elementary Education , State
Education Department, Albany, New
York. At that discussion the science
instructors in attendance emphasized the growing importance of science
is becoming so popularized that
younger pupils are finding an inincreasing amoun t of interest in its
study.
Among the many other topics dis«ussed were those concerning the
st atus of post-graduate practice
teaching, suggested program? of
instructions for the education of
science teachers, including a consideration of the New Jersey plan
now effective in that state, and a
comparison of recent regulation on
certification of science teachers.
Such well-known leaders in the field
¦of science instruction as J. Cayse
Morrison , F. L. Fitzpatrick, and
•Gerald S. Craig were the principal
leaders in the discussions.
The conference afforded , in addi tion to the many discussions on
science teaching, opportuni ties for
visits to research laboratories at the
University and several informal social affairs.

PRESS CLUB PREPARES
LETTERS FOR SCHOOLS
Bloomsburg 's newly o rganized Press
Club has just prepared preliminary
questionnaires to be sent out to almost a hundred high schools throughout the eastern half of Pennsylvania
an nouncing their plans for a journalism criticism ,¦.service and newspaper
con t est, planned for some tinl e in the
spring of the present College year.
The club has been actively engaged
in preparing for the project since
its formation several weeks ago.
While the present plans call for the
contest in connection with a criticism
service, the club plans to emphasize
the latter this year, thus making the
results of the judgi ng a secondary

MISS McCAMMON
VISITS N. Y.
»
Thr illed By Gershwin Opera
Miss Lucy M cCammon , women 's
physical education instructress of the
College, visited New York City last
week-end, where she saw two of the
most successful stage shows now
playing in that city. She was particularly interested in the George
Gershwin show, "Porgy and Bess,"
which is classified by the better
critics as an "American opera ." The
opera depicts negro life of the south
and is a pleasing combina t ion of a
tragic theme and negro music.
The other stage show Miss McCammon saw was, "Winter Set." She
also saw the new moving- picture,
"Midsummer Night's Dream ," based
on the play of that name by Shakespeare. Miss McCammon made the
rip alone.

The pla n e lef t Cai r o , Egypt, on its

Egypt, many magnificent examples of
once great empires were brought into

the tombs of the Kings and the first
of the great Worl d Empires, known as
Sakkara. Near Aswan, the quarries
where giant obelisks were hewn from

Continuing on over Palestine, the
plane passed Jerusalem and Megiddo,
an interesting sight for those who
realize that when one city crumpled
from age another was built above it.
Fourteen other civilizations were
brought to ligh t at Alishar, where
scientific expeditions have been excavating for many years.
One of the most interesting features
of tho movie was the terrifi c wind
storm , which raised the dust of Iraq
to great heights, said to be well over
15,000 feet. A visit by the plane to
Ninoveh , ancient and famous capital
of Assyriu, revealed the second and
third groat World Empires, and the
earliest civilization of western Asia.
The plane finally reached the fourth
and last World Empiro, Persepolis,
aftor having been flown over the Persian Gulf and the Persian mountains.
"Today the ruins of Persopolis provide the magnificant view of the
unciont world , with tho posslblo exception of tho Acropolis at Athens."
