PRESS CLUB TO HANDLE
CAMPUS NEWS SERVICE
Achievements of Students Sent
To Hometown Pa pers As
Part of Publicit y Prog.
Members of the Bloomsburg Press
Club met early this week to formulate
a plan whereby the College publicity
will be handled by that organization
as a part of its program. While nothing definite has been outlined for
the work up to this time, the club
will begin the news service this weekend, sending out releases covering the
outcomes of the present high basketball tournament.
Communications will be mailed to
several other colleges and universities
this week asking for information
about news service plans in operation
in those institutions. The Bloomsburg
students working on the project, however, have decided against going into
work abruptly and blindly. Instead
they expect to take up a little at a
time and gradually increase in activity.
News releases will be sent to the
hometown papers of all those students gaining honors of any kind at
Bloomsburg and will be sent to all the
papers in the service area in case of
sports and general news stories.
The Press Club is operating under
the advisorship of Professor S. L.
Wilson. Its membership at the present time is ten but new members will
be accepted Boon.

has won a place on the "All-Columbian," a mythical and model newspaper combining the best features of
seven newspapers from colleges of
education throughout the country.
Sports Page Outstanding
The Maroon and Gold won a position on the "All-Columbian " by virtue of its sports section, which was
adjudged the best among the more
than fifty teachers college papers represented. The composite newspaper,
a new feature of the annual con test,
operates in much the same manner as
an "All-American " team in sports.
It consists of the best features of
seven papers , representing the fields
of typography, headlines, news stories, edit orials, sports, features, and
creative literary work.
Judges, in rating the papers as a
whole for the regular contest, kept
separate records of papers having
outstanding features, and af ter regular judging was completed, the seven
outstanding ones were selected for
what the association called "a composite newspaper approaching the ideal
as the C. S. P. A. sees it."

FREEDOM OF PRESS IS STILL
MAJOR SUBJECT OF DEBATE

"Advisorshi p Or Censorshi p"
Discussed by Educational
Head At C.S.P.A. Conv .

One of the highlights of last
week's convention of the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association, held in
¦New York City and attended by more
than 1800 delegates, was a speech by
Professor Clyde R. Miller, head of the
Bureau of Educational Service at
Teachers College, Columbia University, in which he scored present
efforts to pass bills in Congress which
may take away much of the freedom
of press now enjoyed in this country.
Backing his attitude towards the
bills now pending action by Congress,
Professor Miller asserted, "No bette*r
service can be rendered American
democracy than that resulting in a
thorough understanding on the part
of our people of the importance of a
free press." The address of the
Columbia professor led quite naturally into a general discussion of censorship in the field of school jou rnalism. Advisors in attendance differed
widely in their opinions as to
whether there should bo faculty intervention on the editorial pages,
many of them taking tho stand that
advisors should have absolutely no
power whatsoever in determining
tho contents of the editorial pages,
oxcept when editorial s stretched into
outside interests.

the speech of Dr. L. K. Ade as a good
example of how to establish understanding between speaker and audience. His method of speaking, his
mannerisms, arid his mastery of
speech psychology brought much
favorable comment from those who
heard him here on Mrarch 10.
*
The topic of "dualisms" played an
important part in the address. Dr.
Ade urged students to refrain from
arguments involving dualism such as
t and
"content and method ," "effor
int erest," "analysis and synthesis,"
and many others which usually bring
argument but never result in definite
decisions.
*
With respect to these dualisms, Dr.
Ade said , "don 't defend one or the
other. Both are necessary." He explained that all of them operate in the
sam e manner as individual versus
society; both need consideration.
*
"The new theory of education holds
that folks are being educated all day
long and that education is made up
of ac tivities and experiences," Dr.
Ade stated. "To the question, 'What
constitutes the individual?' my answer is t hat a perso n is t he sum t ot al
of all his experiences."

"We Americans are in a great big
hurry. We cannot slow down. Yet
what we need is to do thinking. We
are too busy to reflect." The speaker
went on to emphasize his point with
"don't be a traditionalist." He explained that, while we must accept
much of what may be called tradition
because it is good, we should not be
backward about contributing our personal share to advancement. We may
do this by challenging issues and
working up from our challenges until
we see the answer, then either dropping our own ideas if they prove
wrong, or presenting them as advancement if they promise to be
valuable in any way.

"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"
The old phrase "survival of the
fi ttest" is brought to mind this weekend as the fifteenth annual high
school basketball tournament of the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College is
brough t to a close. Since the organization of the tournament a score and
a half years ago basketball fans of
this region have seen athletic contests, leagues, and tournaments come
and go. But the local tourney goes
on as ever , st ill a drawing card for
som e of t he leading t eams in cen t ral
Pennsylvania.
Fans of the region are more and
more coming to a realization of the
influence of the Bloom sburg Stat e
Teachers College in school-boy basketball. Not only was Bloomsburg one
of the pioneers in the development of
college basketball in Pennsylvania ,
but it w as the origi n at or of wha t has
since tur ned out t o be t he oldes t
school-boy basketball classic in central Pennsylvania.
The tournament has actually
"fathered" the high school teams of
the region, setting up competition
and offering laurels so naturally as to
motivate young athletes to the acquisition of real team spirit and cooperation. The cup, award ed to Class
"A" winner each year, is battered and
worn and has lost much of its material value, which was at one time considered high. But with the defacing
dents of each year conies the offsetting increase in value brough t about
by tradition and time. Those close to
their Alma Mater in spirit will keep
tho annual tournament on tho College
calendar for another fifteen years.

Advisorship, Not Censorship
Shall high school and college papers have faculty censorship ? That
was one of the princlpnl topics for
discussion nt the meeting of tho Columbia Scholastic Press Association
in New York City last week. Opinions on tho question varied from an
emphatic "no" to an equally determined "yes," with tho majority favoring a middle course.
Editors who have had any experiences with censorship problems on tho
editorial page will probably, aftor
carefu l consideration , fall in with tho
comparatively small group who urgo
"advisorshlp " rather than cold "censorship, " Lot tho advisor do tho advising, giving reason for his decisions; then lot tho oditor, who should
bo capable of reasoning, do his own
censorship, based on tho advice handed
down by tho advisors.

VOYAGE TO GALAPAGOS
Willia m Albert Robinson
Note—This is a non-fiction
book, but, perhaps it is well to
devote more time to non-fiction
works in the future. Your reviewer feels that this particular
field of writing is being more or
less "snubbed" by the average
person.
Literary Editor
"Voyage to Galapagos," adventur es
on the Caribbean and the South Pacific in a 32-foot ketch, is a book of
outstanding interest to romance
seekers. When a planned j ourney to
the Arctic falls through, the author ,
his wife, and an ar t ist cousin star t
for the Galapagos in the "Svaap, "
the same boat that Mr. Robinson uses
in his three-and-one-half years trip
around the world , which he tells about
in his first book, "Ten Thousand Leagues Over The Sea."
From strange experiences in the
jungl es of Darien to an attack of
appendici tis in the Galapagos, and
his ultimate rescue by the United
States Navy the author takes us on
many an exciting jaunt.
Traveling up a river in the Darien
region the "Svaap" is canght in a raging flood , which sweeps the ketch and
its occupants far inland and finally
desposi ts them in the tree-tops. How
they succeed in getting the boat back
to the stream goes to make a very
unusual incident in "Voyage to Galapagos."
Mr. Robinson has given us an
honest and enthusiastic account of
what happened on that strange journey. He confesses frankly that they
made the journey not for the purpose
of advancing science but "just for the
fun of it."

Last year's records give the Huskies a .666 plus in dual competition,
the Buchhei t represen t at ives on t he
t rack and field having won two and
lost one meet. Stroudsburg fell in
the season opener, 62-64, and Lock
Haven went home with a 35 2/3-90
1/3 loss to the Maroon and Gold. In
the third dual meet of the season
Shippensburg outpointed the locals in
another fractional score, 59 1/3 t o 66
2/3.
At the State meet in Harrisburg last
¦yea r Bloomsburg1 tied with Slippery
Rock for third place. The meet was
won easily by We st Chest er, who
finished with an overwhelming total
of 73 points. Stroudsburg followed
with a compai'atively low sum of 24
counters, and Bloomsburg and Slippery Rock trailed in third position
with 18 points each , Shippensburg
and Lock Haven had 17 and 4 points
respectively while the other entrant,
MHIersville, couldn 't get started in the
meet and was unable to make any
points,
Coach Buchheit maintains the conventional pre-season silence about
Bloomsburg 's chances on the cinders
this spring, but observers believe the
Maroon and Gold's prospects, especially in the track events, are better
than they were a year ago. If any
trouble exists at all it will be in the
field events, Bloomsburg having lost
two good men in Bornie Cobb and
Tom Vershinskl.

iFor the information of those
who have been wondering about
the outcome of the second-half
intramurals in basketball, we
might say—editorially— "proper

some reason or other."

Coach Stagg, Susquehanna mentor,
is like the generals of fashion and the
clothing stylists of the country ; he 's
rushing the season. Football men
f rom the down-river university began
spring practice two weeks ago, working out for their first drill in the
gymnasium where, according to further reports, a track squad is also
opening its training season.
Stagg not only expects to continue
practice through the month of. March
but his program also calls for the return of grid prospects the last two
weeks in August next fall.
***
A sports wri ter from the Kutztown paper, "The Keystone," has
something enlightening to say
about championships in Pennsylvania Teachers Colleges. The
writer of t he column, "Inside
St uff ," in the March ,3 issue of the
paper claims that at one time
there was a league of Normal
Schools with two divisions , eastern and western. The winners
of the two divisions met at t he
end of each season, t he winner of
the play-off receiving possession
of a cup put into circulation by
the State department. According to the Kutztown writer, Slippery Rock had the cup in their

_>7

possession when the league broke
up several years ago. Reduced
to bare outline form , the story
reads as follows: Once there was
no organizatio n of Pennsylvania
Teachers College teams in athletics; then a league was organized
and a cup was awarded to the
winner; now there is no cup. Call
it reversion to form , but he careful with that word "form."
***

In answer to an inquiry—no, this
man K och , who won both the pingpong tourney and the foul-shooting
cont est, is not a transfer. He is the
man called Prof. Koch and is a member of the College faculty. Throwing
fouls in the regular manner is rather
novel to him; his regular method is
to throw them over his head, standing at the foul line with his back to
the basket. This writer has seen him
throw more of them through the hoop
that way than the average entrant in
the recent contest was able to do in
regular fashion.
***
While the gym floor is usually
subordinated to the outdoor playing fields for intramural sports
this time of the year, whoever
has charge of the intramural prthgram next year may have the
chance to become labeled as an

"origina tor " at Bloomsburg by
organizing a tourney something
like the foul-throwing contest,
only taking the form of a field
goal contest. Chances are the
score keeper will have to sharpen
his pencil only once during the
contest.

With th e 1936 baseball season less
than four weeks away College students are wondering what Coach Nelson has up his sleeve for the spring
training. Battery candidates have been
working out at the training school
for some time and should be in top
form when the team journeys to Shippensburg on April 18 for the opening
game.
The pitching staff will be built
around Woody Witwhiler and Whitey
Moleski; two of the best pitchers in
Teachers College ranks. These two
capable hurlers with the help of Slaven and Dushanko should complete a
well rounded pitching staff that will
aid the Huskies to make it thirty
straight this year.
Nine veterans remain from last
year 's s q u a d :
Finder, SlaveH,
Dushanko , W. Witwhiler, Moleski,
Rompolo, Welliver, D. Witwhilor, and
Karshner. Several Frosh are expected to mako strong bids for regular positions. Wenrick, a first sacker by

when the season gets underway,
Eleven games are scheduled for the

TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Dr . Nelson Receives Letter Offer ing Place For Local
Entry

Dr. E. H. Nelson, Director of the
Health Education Department, recently received a letter from the
Pennsylvania Table Tennis Association , Philadelphi a, inviting Bloomsburg State Teachers College representation in the National Table
Tennis Championships, to be held in
the Quaker City April 2, 3, and 4.
The letter explains that, while
more entrants than can be accommodated are expected , preference will
be given to those players the officials
of the championship contest feel are
best able to compete with winners.
Urban R. Lamay, in charge of entries,
investigated facilities and organization for table tennis at Bloomsburg
and assured Dr. Nelson that the
winner of any tournament here will
have a place reserved for him at
Philadelphia.
Five entry blanks were sent to
Bloomsburg for use of any players
interested. Whether or not the College will be represented in the championships has not been determined yet,
although Sam Cohen, who has charg e
of intramural sports on the campus,
said that he hopes to be able to have a
player entered.
So strong has the newly organized
boxing team of Lock Haven become
that they have been recommended for
membership in the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference. W. and J., after
managing to win a close 5-3 decision
from the Havenltes, decided the team
was good enough for the "big time"
and immediately recommended thorn,

RUCKLE WILL CAPTAIN
1937 HUSKY PASSERS
Junie Ruckle, high scoring forward
on the Husky five for the past two
sea son s, will captain the 1937 cage
team , it was announced last week.
Ruckle, whose home is at Wanamie, is
a graduate of the Newport High
School, where he was a star on the
basketball team.
The fast, accurate-shooting forward
of the Maroon and Gold passers will
be a junior next year and has, accordingly, two more years of basketball
with the Huskies. Before coming to
Bloomsburg Ruckle played basketball
with the Wanamie Bears and in the
fast Penn State League.

¦.¦INTRAMURALS Whilo the intramural basketball
league gradually shaded off into nothingness as a result of lagging interest, the field of intramural sports
at Bloomsburg continues to share the
limelight with, other activities, according to present plans.
Dean of Men , John Koch, repeated
his success which began in the pingpong tourney, by brushing aside all
other participants in tho foul-throwing contest.
Volley ball, from all indications
may soon take tho place of other inside activity, several games having '
already been played in out-of-league
competition. In the first try of tho
season a good faculty team showed
a dominating hand to a student group.

SURVEY SHOWS GEOGRAPHY CONSERVATIVE S TUDENTS TELL H OW
GROWING IN POPULARITY
TO SAVE MILEA GE WHILE ON CAMPUS
That geography is growing in populari ty among college students is revealed in a survey of those selecting
geography as a major field at
Bloomshurg. The survey, conducted
by members of Gamma Theta Upsilon, and released a few days ago by
Dan J ones , shows that 24.36 per cent
of the senior s, 7.89 per cent of the
j un iors , and 10.99 per cent of the
sophomores have chosen geography
for major work in the College.
In releasing the information Mr.
J ones poin t ed ou t that the decline in
percentages does not indicate that the
number choosing geography as a
field has decreased. On the contrary,
the n umber has in creased , but the enrollment of the respective classes has
become much larger.
For any teacher to be qualified in
^
the State
in the field of geography
he must have had at least eighteen
credit hours in the subject. This
qualification does not place geography on his certificate as a major
field. To be qualified on the certificate as a major it is necessary for a
student to take a total to twentyfour hour?, six more than the minimum.

Comely and Supchinsky Figure
Comparat ive Lengths Of
North Hall Wal k
Whether the actions of two North
Hall students, John Supchinsky and
John Comely, fall in t o the category
of conservation of energy or into another category which reporters refrain from u sin g becau se of variou s
laws of libel, most observers fail t o
indica t e, but the story of how those
two Bloomsburg students mathematically determined a method of saving themselves time and energy in
their years at the College is worth
relating.
M easu re Sidwalks
An argument of long standing, concerning the comparative lengths of
sidewalks leading to North Hall from
the top of the steps jur ': outside Waller Hall and near the Infirmary,
came to an abrupt end last week when
Comely and Supchinsky measured
the lengths with a six-foot rule. They
recorded every inch of the two paths,

one leading to a door at the side of
the men's dormitory, and the other
leading to the door to the lobby.
After checking resulEs several times
and holding discussion on the project, the two Johns concluded that the
path leading to the side door is six
inches shorter than the other one.
Save Five Hours
Figuring on the basis of an average of ten trips to and from the door
into Waller Hall each day, the conserva t ive st uden t s from N orth H all
discovered they can save thirty—five
feet each week by using the short
path. This amounts to 1260 feet during the thirty-six weeks of the College term, or approximately onefour th plus miles. For four years
the total will reach over a mile, and
walking at the rate of the usual
three miles per hour the amount of
time saved will be somewhere around
twenty minutes.
Comely and Supchinsky think the
figuers they worked . ou t shou ld be

Attempt To Amen d Early Decision On Senior Ball Is

Howard Waite, Rachael Beck , and
Sam Cohen ; Caps and Gowns—Larue
Derr, Peter Bianco, Joseph Dixon ,

Other business transacted at the
meeting included the nominations of
candidates for Ivy Day Orator, with
the following being named: Bernard
Young, William Morgan , and Howard
Bevilacqua. Charles Michael was also nominated but declined. Elections
will be held at a later meeting.
The matter of whether or not the
annual Senior Ball will be closed or
opened became the subject of discussion among those present at the
meeting, some arguing that legislation earlier in the year, which definitely made tho Ball a closed affair ,
was unwise. The motion for amendment to the former decision so far as
a general open or closed dance is
concerned was downed by tho opposition , but a later motion which opens
the Ball to seniors and ushers carried
by a substantial margin.

WAR INDICATES A LAPSE
OF HUMAN CULTURE

At the Kappa Delta Pi meeting held
in the social rooms of Science Hall
last evening, March 19, Dr. Kimber C.
Kuster spoke interestingly on "The
Biol ogical Aspects of War."
H is speech was based on th e idea
that, by n a t ure, man is and always
has been a fighting animal. After the
f irst W ood is seen, man reverts to
savage type and the cumulative culture of 6000 years is washed away.
We need not worry about supplying
armies—nature will always provide
plenty of young men willing to fight.
Dr. Kuster concluded by saying that
there is little probability of war's being outlawed until a civilization and a
religion strong enough to overshadow
war are developed.
