Sincerely

yours,

Dr. George Earl Raiguel will lecture
on the subject of The American Election and its Effect upon National and
International Affairs, when he comes to
Bloomsburg- October 26. The issues
and implications of this important
time will have full discussion and the
various parties and the candidates will
receive adequate attention. Because
the voters feel so strongly at this time.
Dr. Raiguel will attack the problems of
the day from a non-partisan viewpoint
in order that the discussion shall not be
dominated by his opinions but be fai r
and unbiased.
Dr. Raiguel has recentl y returned
from Europe where he studied conditions and talked with leaders in
thought. He will tell of the result of
his investigations. Particular attention
will be paid to the situation in Spain
which has caused so critical a condition
not only in that troubled country but in
relation to the threats of Facism and
Communism which result from the
Spanish Civil War.
Having visited Spain many times,
Dr. Raiguel is in a position to give a
detailed outline of the entire clash of
interests.

EDITORIAL NOTES 1

No longer does the

football player at Bloomsburg State Teachers College
humbly covet the undivided attention of the cute little
coed who carries around an empty notebook and an unsharpened pencil. Nowadays he's in terested in the girl
who's an authority on the philosophy of Plato or the conjugation of a Latin verb.
Since Mr. Tate gave his memorable address i n assembly,
the "girls who know " have taken a more kindly and helpful interest in members of the football team. Superior
knowledge is lending itself to the cause of "brawnier and
brainier football teams."
Footballers must make the grade in the classroom r.s
well as on the gridiron. By taking the time to explain an
assignment or study a problem, a student may help the
fullback pass his tests as well as his pigskin. "We" can
learn to face the blackboard with confidence.

A Student relations

....

council which will represent the students and not the
Interests of the college (reserved for Executive council) Is
being formed at Los Angeles Junior College. The campus
•big-shots' will have little to do with the new council, o n ly
about three or four of the proposed fifteen members being
well-known campus figures. Liberals, radicals, conservatives, Jews, Negroes, and Japanese will represent the students in any controversy.
Here Is an Instrument that will act in much the same
manner as any Humane society. Jntlmato problems of Individuals will be brought to the attention of the group with
the assurance that conslderalon In adjusment of handicaps

has changed since you wore membors of the community.
No doubt you will seo many strange faces ; the buildings
may have changed , and there may bo now developments
In community govornmont and campus activities.
Yet we avo sure you will not feel out of place. For ^s'0
,•aro horo with muoh the same ideas and ambitions that you
1md during your college life. You will find the same
spirit being expressed in our classes and extra-curricular
pganlstablons.
The same love of fun, the same academic IntorostH and
tlio samo professional ambitions are characteristic of our
studont bod y. Wo want to bo as successful as you havo
let out to bo.
In the hoarts of all ot us Is the desire to bo real
"comorB." And part of the losson In getting ahoad Is that
of pausing to look back, reminisce a bit and pay our respects to loyal fflonds and Institutions of tho past. In
order to be comers, wo must also learn to bo "Homocomers ,"

Swing music, swing rhythm and swing time seems to
have captu red with amazing completeness the fancies of
yo ung people everywhere, no loss Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Righ t in swing with the captivating music has
stepped the College year of 1936-37, bursting forth with a
program of student achievement and activity dwarfing into
obscurity past generations of Bloomsburg student bodies.
Football, dramatics, dorm and day organizations, orchestra , band, fraternities and numerous other organizations
have swung behind swing music right into swing. So some
of you scholars minus some sort of student club, snap into
some social service and show that your spine consists of
something stronger than sandy sawdust.
Remember today is homecoming day, not homegoing
day. Instead of going to see your friends, ask them
to "coine'n see you."
Maybe it's the loss of a mascot that's brought tragedy
to the team. Now that Roongo II is here the team should
display new life. "Henrie 's" boys suggested giving the
husky reputation local color " Just hitch the new mascot
to a sled , tie on the quarterback and the ball and mush
right over the zero trail."
Helen Weaver, who was tola lo give her geography
report as if she were teachig a fourth grade class, asked if she should expect fourth grade answers.
George J. Keller recently made a bid for a new kind of
prominence. The peppery art instructor spurned faculty
announcement recognition and added his contribution to
student expression. An inquisitive visitor in the rear of the
auditorium wanted to know the name of the Frosh with
the trick mustache.
Dr. Kuster tells of a strict vegetarian who attends
annual banquets and utterly ignores the appetizing
dishes of chicken set before him, though admitting on
every instance that the baked fowl always smells good.
Now there's a gentlemen who certainly knows how lo
enjoy life on a scent a year.
An upper classman subj ect to violent dreams experienced one of those midnigh t pastimes to such an extreme he
awoke the next day with a head as glossy as Edgar Kennedy 's of the cinema. Well, hair today and gone tomorrow.
During the comprehensive test in the auditorium last
week, everj'' freshman was ordered, to sit a distance of
two seats from his nearest neighbor. Now you must
admit that' s a lot of space between ach vacuum.
Dr. North has enlightened us upon a new system for
typewriting, called ( very approplately for this month) the
Columbus system. You let your eyes sail over the keyboard, discover your key, then immediately land on it.
A freshman co-ed with the dulcet name, Betty Mae
McCawley, came to tlfe freshmanj kid party dressed as
an eight-year-old and carrying a stuffed monkey as a
playmate. Later In the evening Miss McCawley played the part of Bo-peep hunting her sheep but didn 't
know wher to find him— So now it's 'monk' In
sheep's clothing.

If you want to catch something of
the West, if you wnrnt to feel its surging power, if you want to catch a
glimpse of the few remaining out-doorspots which still retailn the tang of the
primitive, (read Low Sarett's "Wings
Against the Moon." Mir. Sairott was
born In Chicago but has spent most of,
his lifo among the Chippowas. He has
been a . forest rangar and guide.
Some of his poetry may bo compared
with that of Vachel Lindsay. Lindsay devoted his poetry for the most
part to the life of the negtro while

has come the closest to expressing "the
beat of Indian music," and lias caught
the elemental qualities in the life of
the red man. WJriting of the Indian,
Mr. Sarett found it necessary to write
of the wild life. He has done this remarkably well. In "Wings Against the
Moon" he wnites of "Familiar Wings: "
Oh, I shall wait for you,
I Among these tilting pines
; That lock theln marching lines
.And lean their lances on the moon;
Walt for you here like any loon
That mourns upon the white
Of moonlit water and shakes the night
With the trembling echoes of his
sorrow;
Oh, I shall wait for you—
Tomorrow and tomorrow—
As any loon that rings
His anguish skyward tone by tone
May wait forlorn, alone,
For the coming music of sweet
familiar wings.
Particularly good is his choice of
words in "Bltteirn :"
I saw against the sunset's tangerine
An amber bittern fly
Flapping his heavy wings in the
evergreen,
Croaking his hollow cry.
He stretched his eager neck from left
to right,
Cranning to find a nook
Where he might stilt himself through
solemn night
In a quiet bend of brook.
At dusk I saw him on a sunken log,
Dronzo In the sunset's blood,
Slumborlng, undisturbed by the trillIng .frog,
And the beaver-tail's dull thud.

ODE TO THE WES T WIND

Undoubtedly the' most harmonious
description of naturo for this period of
tho year is credited to one of England's
groatost poots, Percy Byssho Shelly.
Ho opons his immortal poom 'Ode to tho
West Wind', with those highly soasonablo lines :

practically in the bag for a fast East

Dfhe following terms are a few of the
new expressions that will be used by
sports writers in the future. Coach
Clipper Smith, Vdllanova, started the
fad, arid, it has caught on with the
usual rapidity.
Kiss tackier—the fellow who merely
smacks away. Girls, never marry one.
Fibre phobia—a fear of bodily contact which prevents ends from smashing interference, backs from blocking
and linemen from making holes.
Pogo pass—a forward pass made
when both the tosser and the receiver,
have reached the apex of their leap into the air.
Exterminator block—a rough, hard
block that flattens the opposing player on the ground.
Quicksand or butterfly defense—a
four-four-two-one defense with four
men on the line of scrimmage, four
floaters behind like wings and then the
regular two and one.
Ego-centrics—"bump lsh" young men
who believe they know more than the
coach.
Distractors (not co-eds)—flankers.
The flanker has no more use than to
detract the attention of the men on the
line and in the backfleld.

Memories of childhood pranks and
tricks were revived in the evening of
hilarious fun when the Fresliinefi Staged their annual Kid Party. Doning
their best bib and tucker, all the little
