Have you read the December issue
of the N. E. A. Journal ? If you
haven't, you should get it and read
Dr. Kehr's interesting article "The
Pioneer Days of Dean of Women."
The contrast between those days
and the present day is great. The
dean was not like our present day
dean although her relationship with
the girls was similar. The first dean
was called the Lady Principal. She
was an adviser, helper and understanding friend to the girls as she
is today. Co-education had its beginning at Oberlin in 1833. The last
step was taken at the same college

Building Prog ram Gets Under Way
With Added Activity on Campus
The College building program is
already underway and from the
amount of machinery—steam shovels, drills, and trucks, in combination
with the noise this mechanical equipment is capable of making, one could
possibly say the buildings are almost
all done. Certainly the contractors
have taken this job seriously, for
as one gazes over the amount of
machinery engaged in the building
operations one must admit that no
labor and time saving device has
been omitted in an effort to complete the job.
Each morning the boys of North
Hall are awakened by the drone of
snarling, hesitating, sputtering motors busily engaged in driving their
shovels and drills deep into Mother
Earth over an area that was formerly the training school playground
and Mt. Olympus football field. Because of the recent variable weather
the earth Is of different degrees of
hardness from day to day. This
may have impeded headway in the
days 1 of the pick and shovel , but
today it matters very little for the
gasoline motor-driven grab bucket
in uso on the Junior High School
project grinds and shews its way Into
the hard frost-bitten soil with as
much ease and abandon as it scoops
its tremendous mouth full of soft,

Junior High School will balance the
present Benjamin Franklin Training
School in location and appearance.
Beyond the home of Mr. Houseknecht on Second St. and facing in
the rear the new recreation field the
beautiful gymnasium is being erected. A steam shovel has already been
steadily engaged in digging the cellar for this physical education building which will also be provided with
a beautiful swimming pool. The
gymnasium , which will be spacious
enough to provide for all future
needs, will also include offices and
classrooms for the Health Education
department. And when fully equipped, which it will be, it will make
possible the development of a modern health educational program.

Enjoy Valentine Dance

The students have shown their
appreciation of what the Student
Council is doing for them by their
large attendance at tho Valentine

all indications it will not bo the last.

Remaining Human

r

Today, although not as much as in
former years, the school teacher is
the topic (butt ) of jokes that show
the teacher is being decidedly inhuman and unfeeling. If you would
make a survey on our campus, this
pet idea would surely be disproved—
especially at this time. Monday is
St, Valentine's Day. Our faculty and
student body are showing themselves
unusually interested in St. Valentine. Or is it St. Valentine ? Last
evening they made the Valentine
Dance one of the most successful
all school proj ects of the year. It
is said that one way to remain human is to keep your sentiments.
Bloomsburg has many firm believers
in this idea—at least one would think
so with so many valentines and so
much candy in e v i d e n c e in the
"dorm." At that , it seems, is a
good idea, so le t 's keep this human
feeling always. We may need it.

Study Hints
A list of study hints for students
who are tired of feverishly rushing
through b e l a t e d assignments has
been prepared by Prof. Warron T.
Powell , head of tho department of
student counseling at Boston University. They include;
1. Work under pressure ; sot a
deadline inside of which work must
be accomplished.
2. Make yourself rise above potty
distractions ; when they como, accept
them , then go back to your studying
without losing your stride.
3. Assume that you aro liable for
an account of all that you are studying.
4. Maintain an nlert questioning
attitude and criticize all that you
road.
5. Develop habits of positive attack on your studios. Interest seldom comos before effort is made in
that subje ct,
6. Feel an fnterost In your improvement, ,
7. Avoid and control emotional
disturbance and fatigue.
8. Plan proper length and distribution of study periods , one to two
hour units for easy or varied work;
and thlvty minutes with two or throe
minute rost periods In botwoon for
unfamiliar or difficult work.

War Clouds
The threat of a now war, more
horrible and more destructive than
the last, has been seething in the
political cauldron for many years
now. We never can get free of it ,
and probably half the reason is that
in some part of the world there is
the boom of cannon, the tramping of
troops, the slaughter of men.
Peace Menaced.
Today, the menace to our peace
is greater than ever. The struggle
that has been predicted has not yet
de veloped , and perhaps the unpreparedness of nations, the arbitrary
settlements helped or hindered by
the League of Nations, and the universal desire of the people for a continued peace, have prevented another
world struggle thus far. But from
here on the road is rockier. Day by
day the armament race goes on
among the leading nations of the
civilized world. Armies, navies, air
forces, all have reached the proportions 1 of war-time strength, far beyond the peace-time level.
Communism vs. Fascism
In Spain, the Rebels and the Loyalists figh t on, throwing the spear of
Communism and Fascism back and
forth. . Italy and Germany have used
the war as a testing ground for their
new war machines; their troops reinforce the Rebels under Franco.
Russia is promoting the Loyalist side,
hoping that Spain will be another
garden for the cultivation of communism. Our being a democracy
will probably keep us out of that
struggle. There is no reall y strong
sentiment in the United S t a t e s
against either the Rebels or the
Loyalists. We are watching the European nations playing at war from
a reserved seat and hoping fervently
that they won't point a gun at us.
Menace in Pacific
Our greatest menace to peace is
not in Europe ; it is in Pacific waters. These peacef ul waters will be
the theater for the next war, and it
is highly probable that we shall not
be sitting in a reserved seat, but we
shall be on the stage. Recognizing
this fact, the government has concentrated every dollar available out
of the naval allowance to develop
the naval base at Pearl Harbor on
the Island of Oahu. Two hundred
and fifteen million dollars is the
total expenditure for this huge "filling station." Our fleet maneuvers
here and plays the game of war seriously. Across the island , at Schofield Barracks, are between nineteen
and twenty thousand army men. Altogether this tiny spot in tho Pacific
constitutes a mighty defense system
with a possible 2000 milo roach in
all directions.
Sentiments with China
As conditions are now, war could
most easily arise with Japan , mainly
because our sympathy and sontlmentalism have boon aroused by Japan 's
treatment of China. That same spirit of sympathy and elated patriotism ,
fostered by propaganda , was what
precipitated us into the World War.
Economically, our relations with Japan have boon tho more profitable ,
but we are not thinking of economics; wo arc hating tho Japanese,

EDUCATIONAL SCRAP BOOK
Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superinten dent
of Public Instruction , said today that
one of the most significant trends
of the present time in the field of
public education is the general interest that has developed in the education of elementary teachers on the
four year college level. Approximately fifteen percent of the 40,000
elementary teachers fend supervising
officials in service ih the p u b l i c
schools of the Commbnwealth during
1936-37 held college certificates, wi t h

Havenites Overpower Huskies in 2nd Half , 35 to 19
Brooklyn Polytechnic Wrestlers
Nosed Out By Coach Horner's Men
Mike Stenko , heavyweight representative on the Husky wrestling
tea m , ref used to be thrown by Brookly n Polytechnic's plucky Wepsale
yesterday afternoon and the local
lads came through with a close 15%
to 14% as a result.
The match was one of those thrillers around which moving pictures
have been built, with the two teams
about even up to the time for the
unlimited class to do their bit. A
throw for Brooklyn in this event
would have given them a one-point
victory, but the heavy Berwick grappler stood his ground well enough
to prevent a throw, and Wepsale,
gaining three points for a nine-minute time advantage later in the
match, failed to contribute the points
necessary for a team win.
A new comer to the Maroon and
Gold team, Shiner, 135-pound class,
thrilled the 200 spectators by gaining a draw with his opponent after
two extra two-minute periods were
wrestled. This was Shiner's first
intercollegiate match,
Bloomsburg was forced to take a
three-minute time out during the
155-pound class match when Hancock
of the Husky team threw his shoulder out of joint.

their employment will affect their

Beyers , Havenite forward, was the leading scorer with 11 points,

The Huskies embarked on a threeday road trip yesterday which will
see them pit their forces against the
strong Lock Haven and Indiana fives.
..;Still a hard' team to beat the local
lads will endeavor to avenge the
three point victory Lock Haven
gained over them several weeks ago.
The black and white has set a sizzling pace in this year's campaign and
have lost but two close decisions.
Byers, a n d Ea ron seem t o be t he
men to watch but if these 2 chaps
are guarded too closely then Hoffnagle or Young are liable to break
loose so the Huskies will have to

match point for point and then somo
if the Maroon and Gold is to stay
on top.
After last evening's engagement
the local teachers vstarted^.out-.for^_ .....
Indiana to camp on that enemy's
soil for tonight's game. The Indians are also a strong aggregation
this winter, with such men as McDowell and Nolan on their roster
and will seek to scalp the . Buchheitcoached five. But, if the lads from
Bloomsburg show the fight and pep
they have shown in their last two
home combats the victor's laurels
will be theirs.

Most Proponents Would Slow
Up Game; Inventor Thinks
It Has Been Slowed Up
Bloomsburg basketball followers
have been sharing the interest of
thousands of national enthusiasts in
the proposals for once more changing the rules, this time with the idea
of slowing up the game and making
it less strenuous, e s p e c i a l l y for
younger players.
Suggested Changes
The center ju mp should be returned in the opinion of many, while
other less radical revisions are being
proposed by the majori ty. At any
rate, authorities and members of the
National Rules Committee agree
that some changes will be necessary.
Elimination of the center jump, in
which the opposing team takes the

ball out under the basketball immediately after a score, has added
to the action of most games and
gives players little or no time for

The present indications are that , ,
