FACULTY ADVISOKS

Wll gcw , JVn rl Mnsuu , Ktliel Slum-

On Homecoming Day
Alu mni , parents, friends. These
three words symbolize a relationship
existing between a large group of
individuals and our college which is
slightly different from that possessed
by the administration, the faculty,
and the undergraduates who move
daily under the immediate domain of
the institution. The alumni had once
walked through the corridors, had
laughed and talked with fellow students, had sat in classes and had
listened tp discussions and lectures.
They have a remembrance which has
grown out of a few years of actual
contact within the atmosphere of
B. S. T. C.
Parents, likewise, sense the element of relationship toward Bloomsburg college. Though it is not direct ,
it is there nevertheless, for it is
brought home to them by the sons
and daughters attending the institution.
Then there are the friends. Friends
of alumni, of parents, of students.
A relationship somewhat more distant than that held by the others is
noticed here. But the essence of interest in the college is clearly manifested by those friends who come because they want to, because they
have a desire to know something
about the school which has much to
do with shaping the character of
people they know.

Fire Drills
No do u b t, all of you have read or
heard about the disaster at Slippery
Rock. After that catastrophe there
is one though t that should be kept
constantly in mind: what has happened can and will happen again. This
statement can be justified by a study
of the record of school fires that
have occured in the past, and in fact
are occuring at the rate of five a
day, month in and month out.
Many students have been heard
complaining about the frequent fire
drills held at B. S. T. C. But do we
stop to think what these frequent
fire drills mean to us? Fire drills,
if properly conducted , not only secure the orderly and rapid evacuation of the building, but teach self
control as well. There are more
disasters caused by panic than by the
fire itself,
Let us give this vitaj problem consideration and cooperate with the
authorities by taking the fire drills
seriously.

Welcome to Alumni and Friends!
Visit our Library! All of you will
enjoy looking at the old familiar
book shelves that bring back memories of "Library dates."
If you have forgotten some old
face, but still remember ihe name
and class, ask for the Obiters at the
desk. All of the Obiters for each
year are on file there and may be
used at your convenience.
All the editions of the Maroon and
Gold, from the time when it was
called the "Bloom-Iri-News," are also
on file. You can refresh your memory from these too, by merely asking
for them at the desk.
You will be surprised to see how
the Magazine room has grown. - A
new annex was added to it this
summer. There are all types of
magazines in the racks for you if
you have a few leisure moments.
It's amazing how few people know
about our document room. All the
state documents are filed there and
may be secured from the Library.
The movie cameras are also kept
in the document room. We now
have 67 films in our film library.
We also have victrola records in our
record library and the number is
steadily increasing.
On the filing cabinets you'll find
a fine reproduction of Independence
Hall , made by the W.P.A. This model is quite complete and very beautif ul. With it there is also an exhibit of books on the Constitution,
which you may like to scan.

CHARACTER

f

Sp ect a t t l eR

Sheldon Jones must have been
very anxious to get into the game
at Mansfield. , He was sent out to report and dashed so madly that he
went sprawling on his face half way
over.
The Mansfield fans tho ught Finder
looked like a high school kid. Imagine!
Giermac raids the apple orchard
regularly every Sunday morning.
You can see him trudging up the
hill with his laundry bag slung over
his back. The apples don 't last long
where the boys get at them.
Frank Taylor's stuffed skunk caused a lot of excitement near the Day
Room the other day. The boys sure
did retreat at the sight of those
stripes!
Jack Fiorini gave his class a test
in geography and the answer to
one of the questions was "insect."
One pupil couldn 't spell the word so
he drew a fly.
One of the "Sophisticates " has
gone naive over a "Bird" from Berwick. That fellow certainly has
something.
Dreher was seen serenading Betty
under Her window for more than an
hour the other day. It's darn inconvenient walking up and down
steps with that stiff knee, isn't it,
Betty ?
Yorwarth has been seen taking
pictures of girls for his art note

Have you noticed that Chismar's
affections have turned from razor
blades ?
How do you like Dean Harpe's
"cookie duster?" Some class, eh
what? We heard he has been properly initiated into the scummers.
Weintraub is adept at lathering his
face and shaving while reading a
book. Have you noticed how many
he reads during a week ?

In Other Colleges
Socrates' classic a d m o n i t i o n ,
"Know thyself ," is being taken seriously by Wellesley College. Young
women who entered the school for
the first time this fall were given four
tests arranged to make them review
their own attributes and consult their
own experience.
Two of the tests have been used
since 1932; two were given for the
first time this fall. Following are
some of the controversial statements
and questions, from the alternatives
of which the students are asked to
indicate a personal preference, Included in one of the tests ;
"Because of the aggressive and
self-assertive nature of man the abolition of war is an illusory ideal.
Yes. No.
"If you were a university professor
and had the necessary ability, would
you prefer to teach (a) p oetry; (b)
chemistry and physics?"
The test is designed to show the
relative emphasis the students place
on theoretical, economic, esthetic, social, political and religious values.
The other test is a "Personality
Inventory " which asks the student if
she blushes easily, makes new friends
easily, finds it difficult to get rid of
salesmen, is troubled with the idea
that people on the street are watching her. The resulting answers Indicate any tendencies toward developed neuroses and psychoses.

visited the crowd at the Y. George,
of course, had his t r u sty ca m era so
he took some pictures. On one of
them there is an apparition in the
background. Have you heard the
explanation of this?
Many of you girls, no dou b t, have
noticed how all the boys wait until
all the girls are in the dining room
before they enter. Well here is the
explanation of that. Miss Oxford
gave the freshman boys a lecture on
Forgetting. This was one of the
points. After that all the frosh stood
aside while the girls entered. Soon
enough the upper class boys followed
their example and now we have Miss
Oxford to thank for not having to do
a lot of pushing.
While Mr. Rhodes was asking the
members of his psychology II class
their ideas of the words "abstract"
and "con crete ," he asked Leonard
Stout to look them up in the dictionary. When asked for the meaning he found for concrete , Leonard
answered, "a compact mass of lime,
sand , gravel and mortar , used for
building."
Someone asked Mr. Reams whether he has been out practicing for
hunting season, "I should say not,"
replied Mr. Reams, "there wouldn't
be any game left for hunting season
if I went out now."
How are you enj oying the friendly
feud over the air between Dr. Nelson and Dean Koch ? Jack Benny
or Fred Allen have nothing on them.
Do you remember the Indian ? No
doubt all the girls do, because several days later girls were still heard
saying," Wasn't he stunning? And
that smile!" He also showed good
sportsmanship when he got up with
our cheer leaders and cheered our
boys. Not a bad cheerleader, to say
nothing for how he can lead a band!
Several girls were worried last
week when they heard that Van
played in the Mansfield game. Watch

A band of forty members will soon
make its appearance resplendent in
new uniforms of Maroon and Gold.
Eugene Fleming of Catawissa, who
graduated as valedictorian of his
high school class last June, has been
chosen president of the first year
class of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Despite the wet weather, the Junior Chamber of Commerce
held its annual outing at Spring
Brook Park on Thursday, October
13.
George C. Buchhiet , former Duke
University and University of Kentucky Coach, has been appointed a
member of the Health Education Department and Assistant Dean of
Men in charge of day boys at our
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg,
Howard Berninger was elected president of the Senior Class. Mark
Peifer held the office of president in
the Junior Class. The Sophomores
chose Wesley Knorr as their chief
officer. The Girl's Chorus under the
direction of Miss Patterson , has boon
for some weeks preparing a program
to be presented In chapel In the near
future. Rachel Miller, 1931, is teaching in the Kolschnor school near
Berwick. Joe McFaddon, who got
his degree last June, was back to
town for the Bloomsburg-Millersvillo
game. Dorothy Jones Is teaching
sixth grade in the Briar Crook Township school.

"That Old F eeling
Is still in my heart." So the song
goes, and so must it be with the
returning graduates of B. S. T. C.
Eve ryone of these former Bloomsburg students must have a sentimental feeling in their heart for
Maroon and Gold and all these colors
symbolize , or they wouldn't be back
here today.
These people who come back today
do they live again scenes that
used to be? Does the sight of the
lagoon bring a rush of fond memories ; do they, as they walk in the
grove , pause, as in their reveries
they are carried back to yesteryear ;
do the trees look the same to them,
or are they aware that one more
"r ing " has been added to the life
span of the tree , as has been to their
own lives; do they, when they hear
laughter in the halls, smile sadly,
remembering that it wasn't so long
ago that these self-same walls and
corridors resounded to their merry
shouts; will they go back in reality
today to their then favorite haunts
—window sills, library nooks, certain lobby chairs, Long Porch, a
former rendezvous—as they have no
doubt done many times in reverie?
Do certain pictures on the wall,
snatches of conversation , recall former classmates; in short, do these
visitors come back , not to see B. g.
T. C. as it is now , but rather to live
again those never-to-be forgotten
days in B. S. T. C. as it was when
they walked the halls , talked in the
library, roamed the campus, and
thrilled to the strains of the Alma
Mater ?
To all these questions the answer
is, no do u bt, yes. These friends are
progressives, living in the practical
world of today, but once a year they
drop the cloak of reality and fade
into the dim recesses of the past to
relive for a day the j oys they once
knew.
Among the group today are many
of last year's Seniors! Among the
group next year will be many of this
year's graduating class, and so it
goes. For four years we "breeze"
through school and then we are
graduated. It is then that we wake
up suddenly to realize that our adventure at Bloomsburg is over , and
so we return on Homecoming Day
to try to recapture some of "that
old feeling" that was woven into
college life.
And so today, Homecoming Day
is dedicated to the devotees of "Do
you remember. . .?", and may their
memories serve them well.

BOARD OF STRATEGY

Girls Respond Well
To Call of Nature
Hiking & Horseback Riding Are
Espec ially Popular with
College Co-eds
Crisp fall weather had induced coeds to go on many hiking expeditions about the country surrounding
Bloomsburg. Wearing sturdy oxfords
and woolens they swing jauntily along the roads and trails about the
town, enjoying the beauty of the
autumn landscape and the invigorating air.
One thousan d, two hundred ninetytwo miles have been covered by the
girls in the less than six weeks since
school began.
"More girls are out doing things
this year than ever before," declared
Miss Lu cy McCammon , director of
physical education for girls, at her
office.
The setting of the college is an
incentive to activity in the out-ofdoors. The fall sports calendar has
been arranged, and there is plenty
doing both inside and outside the
gym.
Among the popular sports are tennis, bicycling and horseback riding.
Since the beginning of school, girls
who are working toward membership in the "B" Club have earned
ninety-one hours' credit at tennis
and sixty-three hours' credit in cicycling.
More interest in bicycling and
horseback riding is manifested by
the girls this year, Miss McCammon
related. She did not believe that
increased activity along these lines
was influenced by the girls' desire
to reduce. A keen, healthy urge for
outdoor exercise draws most of the
girls to such diversion, she believes.

Coach George Buehheit's cross

outdoor cross country meet sponsored by tho A. A. U. and put on by tho
W. P. A. organization of Scranton ,
this morning, October 23, at 11:00 A.
M, Tho meet will probably bo run
through ono of Scranton 's parks.
Coach Buchholt will bo In charge
of a squad which will include Hlpponsteol , Espy; Kemple, Combola;

Lavolle, Girardville; Gonshor, Aldon ;
Parker , Kulpmont; Reed, Shillington ; Taylor, Berwick; Mallnchock,
Nosquehoning.
Tho Bloomsburg cross country
squad will bo participating for the
first time in this event which is tho
second annual race of this kind.
Last year tho Bloomsburg boys wore
at Indiana on the dato this race was
held.

Score 14-8 Last Year
Looking back through the timeworn papers of last year a reporter
finds that the Grey and White had
diffic ulty in submerging a stubborn
Bloomsburg aggregation 14-8. It
was not until the appearance of a
fleet-footed runner by the name of
Hopkins that the outcome of the
contest became apparent, for it was
this lad with his long runs, who
sent the Huskies to the showers.
This same boy is playing varsity
again this year for the upstaters and
all of the Tatemen will have to be
on their toes to stop this j ackrabbit.
Lock Haven bowled the Golden
Avalanche of Kutztown Teachers
at 33 to 7 last week with Hopkins fellow scoring 2 six-counters.
No Injury List Now
This is Homecoming Day and the
Maroon and Gold has a tough assignment ahead of them. All of the injuries of the players have healed and
Bloom will thrust her full strength
against their championship-going opponents.
;
The Huskies should be over their
so-called slump and swing back to
where they belong which is on the
victory side of the ledger.
Last year, Homecoming Day was
spoiled by Mansfield when a vow
never to lose another game on this
day was broken.

Visitors' Average High
At 180 lbs. per Player
Seven of Eleven Starters Have
Played Together for Three
Full Seasons
Seven of the starting eleven Havenites who will face the Bloomsburg
aggregation on the gridiron this afternoon are seniors who have been
playing throughout their college careers. Of the remaining four, three
are j uniors and one a freshman.
The team averages 180 pounds, so
the Husky starters may have a little
difficulty getting started. The line
itself averages a little above 186
pounds. Yohe, quarterback , is by
far the lightest man on tho team,
weighing only 145 pounds, while
Dublix, freshman tackle who promises to make trouble for three more
years, tips tho scales at 210 to become the heaviest man on the team
and next to the heaviest on the
squ ad.
The entire squad consists of players from all four classes with a predominance of upporclassmen, an indication that this should bo one of
the best years for Lock Haven. So
far this soason tho Frederick charges
are undefeated and are well on their
way to another championship claim.

Mans field Supreme in
12-0 Rout of Huskies
Home Team Had Things Under
Control Most of Day
At Mansfield
B. S. T. C| suffered its second
straight defeat of the 1937 season
at Mansfield Saturday, October 16,
by the score of 12 to 0. Mansfield
played alert football the entire afternoon and took advantage of two devastating breaks which lead to their
ultimate victory. A large parent's
day crowd watched the Mountaineers outclass the Huskies in practically all departments of the game.
The Huskies seemed unable to
cope with the opponents' overhead
game and smooth running attack.
On numerous occasions the backfield
was caught napping, with the result
that several passes were completed
for long gains. Mansfiel d, with their
illustrious fullback "Bobby" Loche
leading their running attack , drove
deep into Husky territory many
times; the result was 10 first downs
for the Mountaineers to 3 first downs
for ,the Huskies. The only time that
the Husky offense clicked was in
the first quarter when two consecutive line thrusts resulted in large
gains.
The two lines were fairly well
matched with the Bloomsburg line
holding a slight edge. Both wore
big, fast, and aggressive. John Sircovics nnd Jenkins, Husky guards,
broke through the opposing lino on
numerous ocensions to throw the
Mansfield backs for considerable
losses. In the bnckfleld Mansfield was
decidedly the better. Laubach, acting captain for the Huskies, was the
only mombor of tho Bloomsburg
backflold to exhibit any power at all.
Plis hard tackling and sensational
lino bucking thrilled the crowd all
afternoon.
Both teams battled scorelessly
throughout tho first quarter. Early
in tho second quarter Mansfield recovered a Bloomsburg fumblo on tho
Husky thirty-yard line. Two first
downs and a short pass climaxed in
tho first score of tho game. Tho try
for an extra point was blocked.
Again the teams battled scorolessly
until late in tho third quarter, when

Subdue College, 1-0
Bloomsburg's embryo soccer team
dropped another game last Thursday af ternoon when the Orangeville
High School scored a close 1 to 0
victory.
Bowman, Orangeville center forward chalked up the only score of
the game in the second quarter when
he lobbed over Fetteroff's head. The
college goalie, earlier, had tossed a
save off Thomas' toe back into the
game, but the throw wasn 't high
enough and Bowman headed the ball

Reports that Bernie Cobb, '36,
former Bloomsburg baseball star, has
been traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates to the St. Louis Cardinals are
a little pre-mature, according to
statement made by the big first baseman last wek.
Cobb said that, while a trade is
more or less "in the wind" at the
present time, the deal has not officially been made and that he is still
owned by the Pirates. During the
past season he played with the Montreal Royals of the International
League. At the present time he is a
student at the East Stroudsburg
State Teachers College, where he is
taking courses in physical education.

POETRY CLUB STRESSES
TIME , PLACE OF MEETING
For those who don't know, Poetry
Club meets every Thursday evening
at 6:45 in the social rooms of Science
Hall. Why at 6:45? So that the
members may be free at 8:00—for
any other engagements ! Why in
Science Hall? Well, now—if science
Hall has a stove (and it does)—and
members may be free at 8:00—for
any other engagements ! Why in
Science Hall ? Well, now—If Science
Hall has a sove (and it does)—and
all the facilities for a party ? Do
you understand why ? And just to
remind the members, party scheduled
for the 16th of September has been
postponed until the 23 of September,
because a meeting of the Columban
Club on that date would cause a few
members to miss the party.
And If you'd like to know what
wo do at Poetry Club—we can only
tell you that we have grand times
with our appreciation of poetry.
At the last meeting, Dr. Kehr read
some humorous verse to us, and each
of tho members read an original

Tho ontrance requirements are:—
1. write a poem—on anything In any
stylo, We like humorous poems too!
2. read aloud an unfamiliar poem

yardage on an exchange of punts ,
took possession of the ball on the
Husky thirty-five yard line, and immediately scored on a wide sweep
around the Husky right end. Again
the try for an extra point was unsuccessful.
Bloonwburg profited by penalties

one time In the game a Mansfield
player was banished from the game,
and the team was penalized half the

broadcasting section. His topic was
"Curriculum Teaching in Science"
On August 8 Mr. Carpenter broadcast to America over station JOAK
a summary of the program of the

UNIVERSITY NORTH CAROLINA
Student organizations at the University of North Carolina have banned the hectic "big apple." Some
said the floor on which most student dances are held was too frail
to withstand the stomping. But the
chief reason seemed to be, as one
boy expressed it: "The students are
just getting fed up on the big apple."
Students dancing to swing music—
1200 of them—generate enough heat
to warm a two-story house for two
days in ordinary winter weather.
Enough energy is released to raise a
five-ton elephant 32 miles in the air.

ABOUT THIS WAR IN CHINA

From all the fighting Japan has
been doing in China how much has
she gained ? To you students who
have been too busy with academic,
commercial , or extra-curricular activities, here follows a brief summarization of hostilities in China and a
view of Japan 's problem in trying
to crush the Chinese out of conquest.
At presen t, Japanese forces control
a block of territory in North China
measuring from East to West 350
miles. (To you geography students,
from Tientsin to Suiyan , to be exact.) And from North to South 250
miles. Or from Kalyan to Shunteh,
for those of you better informed.
This area takes in about 90,000
square miles or as large as N. Y.
and Pa. combined. In other words
all of North China is, from a military standpoint, in Japanese hands.
Now what has Japan wanted, that
she considered was not great enough
an objec tion, to get. Simply and
briefly it is this—a corridor between
the Soviet Union and China and
Manchukuo. This corridor will consist of North China and its 75,000,
000 people in the vast spaces of
Mongolia as well as within the wall.
What resistance did the Japanese
expeditionary forces meet? This was
as much a surprise to Japan as it
was to us for despite the Inadequate
training and equipment of the Chinese armies, their strategical plan,
devised by German instructors was
good. Also for the first time Chinese

Suggestion
Being interested in education as
we are perhaps it would be advantageous for us to give some attention to
the tutorial system as practiced by
Harvard. Eecently, under the liberalist polick of President Conant an
extension of the already extensive
tutorial system operated by Harvard
was affected. This fall the tutorial
experimentation will include over
sixty per cent of the upperclassmen.
The idea of the system which began
in 1914 is to provide equal amounts
of individual instruction for all men.
This plan was tested by the History
Departments This year it will be
extended to the other departments
of the College in an effort to increase
the individual instruction. Doctor
Conant plans to introduce the individual instruction idea to the point
where it applies to the College work
"so far as possible to fit the student!"
Evidently the current policy tends
to be a happy medium between two
extremes: the purely elective system
as advocated by former Pres. Eliot
50 years ago and the concentrative
distributive requirements inaugurated- by Pres. Lowell 20 years ago.
• According to Dean A. C. Harford
Ithe tutorial system does not adapt itself with equal fitness to all students
and-therefore this same program will
bo so floxablo as to cater to those
who benefit and those who would
profit better from course instruction.
This will be accomplished by giving
all students a full time tutorial program in their sophomore year followed by an adjustable program in
their Junior and Senior years which
iwould give either type of Instruction.
1 ' it has boon observed through
ninny years of experimentation by
authorities that the tutorial system
has increased student interest in
high scholarship, having increased the
proportion of men graduating with
high honors from ,17% to 31% in
tho last 12 years. The now method
has also boon seen to develop moro
student stimulus and has brought
about a moro doflnito response to
study.
Thus tho Interest in tutorial education is explained and its champions
sco groat possibilities.

fighting power has been used on a
national scale not only from Central
China, but from Suiyuan and Chahar
outside the Great Wall. To add to
the fun was the injection of remote
Shansi troops, which was traditionally neutral, to the Chinese cause.
In this case therefore , what was
the first duty of the Japanese commanders in their conquest of China?
Just this, to defeat those armies advances of Nippon's forces ? He is
General Jichi Terauchi who began by
clearing his flank (or defeating the
Chinese Army in the rear ready to
attack or invade Manchukuo) in the
battle of Nankow Pas. In this battle
of eleven days he dislodged the Chinese who were perched in the seemingly impregnable mountain wilderness and chased them 300 miles,
starving off any possible attack
from the rear. Then after taking
Hopen. Shantung, and Shansi provinces General lorauchi feinted his
armies beautifully, in his typical
masterful style, and defeated the
Chinese in the battle of Chachow.
Then striking first with his right
and then with his left forces to cut
off possible cooperation betwees
eastern and western Chinese armies
he closed his pincers at Shohkiachwang from Northeast and West and
sent the Chineses retreating headlong toward the Yellow river.
Was there any point to all the
seemingly resistless retreats before
the Japanese armies ? Yes, Chiang
Kai Scheck has established, very
cleverly a Hindenburg line in the
rear which, af ter baiting Japanese
armies, munitions, etc. far from their
base would attack and defeat the
Japanese.
Was this more successful. No!
Why? Because a Hindenburg line
requires armies who have the will to
fight. Besides, the inexperience, plus
the lack of training, leadership, and
equipment, prevented the completion
of the well formulated plan adopted
by Chiang Kai Check.
