EDITORIAL NOTES
// You Have Been . . . .
in the library recently, you may have noticed that the librarians are checking the books on the shelves with cards
and lists. This means that the annual library inventory
has begun, and every book in the library must be accounted for. Too often books have been misplaced by
students or have been though tlessly or carelessly taken
from the library by students who have not had tho proper records made at the desk, and this makes the business
of in ventory very difficult for the librarians.

'
We Must All Agree
....
that our library gives long hours of service—81 hours a
week or approximately 1458 hours during a semester. We
must also concede the fact that the patience of our librarians is at times almost inconceivably elastic, and that
the trying situations which they often enduro Is worthy of
the consideration of the student body.

But Cooperation

.. ..

on the part of the student body would often help to relieve
these situations and would help the library to give even
better service. If every student would return library
books pro mptly so that others could use them , never take
books from the library withou t signing for them, and return books to tho shelves where they belong, the library
workers would have more time to assist students in findIng what they want. "For a book mispla ced In* the librar y
Is a boolc lost" until It has been located.

¦ Peculiarly Enough . . . .
however , every Incident , sorro wful or unfortunate as it
may be, Is aooompanied ' by some touoh o£ humor , whic h,
Althou gh not always seen by ever yone, is Invariabl y noticed by somoono. Specifically I am referrin g to a chat
which a roport or had with a librarian who was In tho
process of checkin g on librar y books. Characteristica lly
curious , tho reporter , desirous of gainin g some Information about the librarian 's work , Involuntaril y and oertainly accidentall y, found his oyea restin g squarely on tho
sheet of pap er In question on whloh was written at the
top "Booko Mlssln ff In Inventor y " and following down the
page In a Hit were the names of books , headed by, Iron ically enough, "20,000 Years In Sing Sing." Do you foel
guilty? Well , remem ber, lt' « never too lato to reform.

Who is the inattentive commercial In Miss Hoke's
short hand class who was admonished with these philo.
sophlcal words, "Some people are too slow to stop quickly." . . . Will someone return Oscar Fetterof's sneakers?
During wrestling matches he's been running around the
place in his barefeet. . . . We notice a lot of red aroud the
cam p us lately—red dresses, red scarfs, red sweaters, eve n
red ties. Someone once said, "When out for a husband
wear white; when out for a lark wear red." Spring is
near and a lot of people are hunting the elusive bird.
As Rlpley will say, believe it or not , but the quietest
place on the campus is the college library—at 5:59 p. m.
. . . We hear' that the stagUne at the recent C. <5. A. fiance
is the first known to this house of learning. The girls
were asked to come out of their rooms and dance, and
they j ust wouldn't. . . . Who is the senior, upon entering
the Technique class in Science Hall, that called to a
workman to pound lustily while the class was going on?
When the period was over, the same senior, accompanied
by Dean Koch, stepped out of the room and was hailed by
the workman thus: "Hey, buddy, did I pound loud
enough ?"
Just before the dinner hour, about 5:45 p. m., ont?
couple and then another can be seen standing along the
halls, waiting for Dan Cupid to fling that golden arrow
which makes two hears one. But along comes a man in a
dark uniform and those poor hearts are 'Trumped.' . . .
Bloody Sircovics must be praying for that gentle game
of football to hurry around. A few days ago Bloody was
In a car wreck on his way home to Berwick. Last Saturday he was scorekeeper during the Stroud-Bloom basketball game. That powerful heave over the banking board
landed the ball plump into Bloody 's stomach, knocking
his breath away, and then they had to break the chair
right under him.
As you all know, we have an annual book here called
the 'Obiter.' Now how many of you know what 'obiter'
means? It means: 'In passing; incidentally.' . . . While
discussing Chaucer in Lit. I, the class was asked what
kind of man the Knigh t was. Did he gamble, drink, or
swear? "I .never heard him, " Phil .Snyder popped up,
Lester Bartels got up before the class to give a talk
on a personal experience. He started well but began
flou ndering! while half through , repeating the phrase, "In
my," "In my," "In my, " "Solitude, " barked Impatient Don
Karnes.
Are those students you often see reading on the lar go
window ledges of the second story of Noetlln g Hall, lookIn g for a higher education ? . . . The doctor gave Bill
Houcfc twelve pills to -ward off an oncoming grippe. Bill
took the first three as he was told, one every four hours.
But that -was troublesome , bo he decided to take the remainin g nine a once so that he could carr y along for the
next thlrt y-slx hou rs without troublin g about time. But
BUI was almost carried out as a result. . . . Little Jun ior
disturbed the wires of the electric clocks In the Andruss
home. Mr. Andruss tried to get the correct time by
radio. He got the time, but It was from another bel t, and
not sure of the belt , the hour was of no use . . •

A+lterarilij o\p eaking
On passing Lincoln 's birthd ay a
question comes to our minds, a question which we feel is vital : How important is Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address to us and how much of it can we
recall?
In a few well chosen sentences Lincoln expressed the feeling of nearly
every man and woman of his time,
th at the work of preserving the Union
must bo continued.
The Civil War is over. It is history.
But it is just as imprtant that we, as
Americans, should continue in the
struggle to preserve our nation.. We
sometimes fail to realize that we as
individuals are a part of a great work
which as yet is unfinished. Lincoln 's
im mortal and gripping address applies
to us today j ust as much as it did in
his time.
"It is fo~ us, the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced. It is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us—that
from thes% honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for
which the;- gave the last |u}J measure
of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this , nation, under
God, shall' have ' a new birth ' of freedom; and that governmemnt of the
people,, by the people, " for the people,
shall not perish from the earth."—
Abraham Lincoln.

through graduation last spring, prospects foi a good diamond season this
year are unusually bright, with an array of gaod pitching material In particular turning out 'or the pre-season
call. Wilbur Dresher , a transfer from
the University of Maryland, and DlcU
Hummel, freshman from Northumberland, are among the more outstanding
candidates for pitching assignments
whf-n the season opens In the spring.
Clyde Spltzner , Pottsvllle captain of
the stickmen for 1937, and acting
coach for the pre-season warm-up,
claims that the Crusaders' greatest
trouble is going to bo in finding a
suitabla catcher, although they do
hope to train one in plenty of time before tho opening1 game.
Susquehanna has been on the Husky
schedule for two years, the local team
having downed them both seasons.

It won 't be long now until Doc Kelson and his cohorts can tak e to the
spri ng green diamond and wallop the
ears off their opponents as they have
done in .the past. The Doctor has been
caught casting ' sly, apprehensive
glances out of his window, and hip
face takes on that expression peculiar
to men with brain children.
« * *
What a mess! The Huskies downed Millersville here, and then invaded
the down-state court to come back,
tails bet ween their legs, badly whipped Pups. Lock Haven trounced Kutztow n, last year's champions; Hast
Stroudsb urg licked Ithaca, who in
turn submerged the Maroon and Gold.
But, Slippery Rock defeated Indiana,
who skinned out Lock Haven. All this
leads to the point that to date it's open
season for a championship team to
grab the laurels.

Gold Division

Turns In Fine Perf ormance

This afternoon's game between the
Huskies and Shippensburg Red Devils
will be more than a mere battle for
victory. It will mean the Husky sur- .
vival in the race for the Teachers Collego Championship.
The Gulian charges eked out a 32-30
decision January 29, on the downstate floor. In that game Bloomsburg
lead by six points at the half, but lost
the game by a loan goal.
In this game it is up to the
Bloomsbu rg basketeers to avenge the
past two defeats at the hands of the
Raiders—a gridiron trouncing and a
hoop victory. The Maroon and Goy
has won twelve combats in athletic
competitioa with Shippensburg, while
the latter team has emerged with nine
victories in the last ten years.

Mack Smethera
Versatile bas ketball player who
t urned in an unusually fine performance at guard last week in the
Stroudsburg
tu ssle. It was his
dazzling floor sp eed and blocking
that helped the Maroon and Gold
break int o the win column.

Last week the Maroon and Gold
grapplers traveled to Mansfi eld to
meet their second defeat at the hands
of the northern teachers by a decisive
35-3 decision.
Four men were declared ineligible
this week, and six more were out be.
cause of Illness, so that Laubach and
Wyotovich were the only experienced
varsity men to participate in the .
matches. It took some soliciting to
get Hunter , Bacon, Feteroff , and "Welllver at last minute notice.
Wyotovich was the only man to -wla
his match, gaining the three points on
time advantage.
An electric score-board has been installed in the Susquehanna University
gym. The board was given to Susquehanna by last year's senior class.

"Sportsmanship" as an editorial has been so over-done
in high school and college newspapers in the last decade or
more that it is now generally recognized as mere "fill er,"
to be used only when tired and worn-down editors momentarily fall back on their heels for a rest.
However, there is one point which has seldom been
brought out in speaking of sportsmanship, and that has to
do with the clear-cut definition of a good sport. He is not
the man who responds to a cry of "Murder 'em" or "Pop
'em in the nose" or any other familiar orders from the sidelines. He is not the kind who is indifferent towards the
outcome of a game merely because he holds a grudge
against his opponents. Nor, in fact, is he kind who DOES
hold a grudge against his opponents. .,

Lock Haven—the squad who said
they knew they were good and smacked Bloom on the teeth with a 35-29
uppe rcut three weeks ago to prove it—
comes to Bloomsburg tomorro w nigh'
to try for a second victory over* the
rej uvenated Buchhcitmen.
Lock Haven was the first of three
road trip games that the Huskies lost
in straight contests. The Havenites
have downed Kutztown , last year's
champions and claimants to the State
title this season, but in turn were sent
to the showers by Indiana who administered a severe defeat to them.
It was Byers and HofCnagle who
were the shooters to puncture the
Bloomsburg balloon . Earon. Lock
Haven captain, is another scoring
threat who can stick them up from all
points en the floor.

A good sport, readers of the Maroon and Gold, is ah
ath lete who enters competition free from contagion and
under guidance of a healthful attitude. And an athletic
team which has been coached to build and maintain a
healthful attitude towards competition is just twice as good
as the team which looks upon competition as the clearing "
house for grudges and other unhealthful attitudes.
