The Community Government Association of the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College is sponsoring a conference to be held on the Bloomsburg
campus, the purpose of which will be
to consider the organization of a
state teachers college student federation. Invitations have been sent to
all the state teachers colleges in the
state, requesting them to send representatives to the conference to be
held from March 2 to March 5.
The general membership of the
organization would include the student bodies of the State Teachers
Colleges acting through either representatives of the student governments or delegates to be chosen by
the student body where it is yet unorganized. The main purposes of me
organization is to increase student responsibility in making the college
more nearly a real democracy, and
to study and improve all student activities through an exchange of ideas
and experience.
Since in most college governments
students and deans work together,
Deans of Women and Deans of Men
are invited to attend the conference.
The program planned will include
discussion of athletics, scholarship,
student government, social functions ,
extra-curricular activities, school
publications, and other problems.
There will be joint sessions and separate meetings of the Deans and the
student delegates. The social side of
the convention will not be overlooked.
Colleges are invited to send a
maximum of four student delegates
and two faculty delegates. It is
hoped that all colleges will be represented.

Bloomsburg State Teachers College,
has been appointed State Chairman
for the Eastern Commercial Teachers ' Association , which is the largest
a ssociation of commercial teachers
in the country.
The association will hold its fortysecond annual convention at Hotel

Education.",
More than forty years of distinguished service and leadership in
business education is the excellent
record of the Association. It has

group of about fifty at its first meeting in Hartford, Connecticut; in 1897,
to more than three thousand active
and loyal members. It has enj oyed
the support and confidence of business education throughout the country.

Faculty Also Invited to Take
Part in Plan of Writing
To Student Council
Something new in the way of letting the student council know the real
thoughts and feelings of pupils will
be tried on the Bloomsburg campus.
Any student , or; faculty member,
with a complaint , suggestion, or criticism, can write it down, put it in an
envelope add ressed to the "Student
Council", and put it in the letter slot
beneath the postoffice window. Such
letters need not be signed, and does
much to promote cooperation between
students and student government. In
this way legitimate and worthwhile
ideas can be made use of.
The idea is the outgrowth of similar plans discussed at the meeting at
Purdue, which Ray MacBride, president of the student government association, attended. According to representatives to this congress, many
of the colleges in the country use this
plan with great success.

Mexican Newspaper
Proves Interesting
Issue of Weekly Paper, "Mexico
Today," Scores United States
Journalism Practices
A newspaper entitled "Mexico Today" has been received by the exchange editor of the Maroon and
Gold. The paper is printed in Mexico,
and purports to give an accurate account, in news and pictures, of the
facts and fancies of the Mexican
people and aff airs.
The paper is of the tabliod size,
and profusely illustrated. Issued
weekly, news is fresh and interesting.
In the words of the paper, "Mexico
today is front page news. A people
is being awakened . . . our nation is
on the move . . . history is in the
making."
The issue received here decries the
charges of United States papers that
Mexico is ruled by Communists, and
also charges that American papers
have not printed the truth about the
oil affairs..
Anyone desiring to see the paper
may do so at the Maroon and Gold
Office.

would seek the shelter of a small
garret in his country home and write
down the verses he had created while
at work.
He once was affected profoundly
by a picture hanging on the wall of
a friend's home where he was attending a small dinner. The picture depicted a dead soldier lying in the
snow, a widow with a child in her
arms, and a dog crouched near the
corpse. A few lines of poetry accompanied the print , and while he
was reading them, tears filled his
eyes. He asked the group of individuals whose poetry it was. No
one knew but young Sir Walter Scott,
aged fifteen , who was present. Scott
was kindly complimented by Burns
when the latter was told the lines
were written by a poet named Langhome.
In the year 1796 when Burn s was
dangerously ill, he met a neighbor
in the street , and speaking of his
health , he remarked : "I find that
a man may live like a fool, but he will
scarcely die like one."

Should the United States sell airplanes to France ? As always the
opinions are divided. Little was said
or known about the sale until certain
senators demanded an investigation
of secret meetings held by the President. A plane crash involving a
French business man finally brought
the question into full view.
Some say that the United States,
hoping so earnestly for peace, is
merely antagonizing ruling factions in
Europe by aiding France. Inadvertently she is involving herself. Though
she would favor France, she need
not lead her lambs to the ultimate
slaughter.
Others feel that she is justified in
helping a friendly country equip herself for survival. France's airforce
is not comparable to any of the other
powers in Europe. She can, by purchasing planes made in the United
States , build an airforce that will
surpass in number those of other
countries. France is not prepared
for the actual making of the planes.
The United States is. The planes are
of a certain type; the patterns are
already cut; the United States wishes
to clear her factories of this type
to make way for a newer model.
Why shouldn't she receive the gold
from France for ships that any privato citizen could buy ?

Wednesday nigh t.
Bloomsburg clicked well in their
passing attack, taking the ball down
under the basket time after time, but
they were off color in shooting and
saw the Frederick team gradually
pile up a lead which was never
threatened.
The loss was the third for the
Bloomsburg five this season, the first
two having been at the hands of an
undefeated Millersville team. Bloomsburg scored over Lock Haven in a
a closely-fought game hero least
week.
HU S KIES DOWN
WEST CHE S TER
The Bloomsburg Huskies bounced
back into the victory column at West
Chester Saturday night by winning
from a good Chester team, 32 to 29,
Playing before a capacity crowd
the Huskies started rolling early in
the game and built up a good lead in
the first quarter. The second period
West Chester changed from a mar.for-man to a set zone defense and
temporarily checked the Husky offense. The half time score read
Bloomsburg 14, West Chester 10.
Throughout the first half the Huskies did most of their scoring from
far out on the wooden way, but
broke through to counter close to the
net after intermission. They never
held a lead which would permit them
to ease up, but never relinquished
their early lead.
The home team was unable to penetrate the Bloomsburg set defense and
called on their long range artist,
Bill Br own , to do most of the scoring.
He was the only West Chester man
that really troubled the Huskies and
his 16 poin ts made him high scorer
of the evening.
The Huskies employed a slow deliberate offensive instead of the usual
fast passing, sharp breaking, attack.
Bill Kerchusky, sensational sophomore center, continued his high scoring by whipping the net five times
from scrimmage and converting two
fouls for 12 points.

When birds sing hymns

My love will come to me.

Jiarvey A. Andruss, Dean of Instruction at the State Teachers College, is
the first of several books reviewed in
the January issue of the Louisiana
Commerce Teacher, a commercial
publication.
"The book is a treatise on the
techniques, procedures, and skills in
the teaching of bookkeeping. The
appearance of this book makes it
unnecessary for those who are interested in methods of presenting bookkeping to glean information from
magazines, periodicals, and random
pages in certain books on the teaching of commercial subjects. The
writer has handled his subject in a
very lucid and interesting manner.
"The first of the nineteen chapters
is entitled , "A Short History of Bookkeeping." This one short chapter
should be worth the cost of the book,
especially to those teachers of bookkeeping that do not happen to know
the story of the origin of the words
"debit" and "credit" and that the first
written exposition of the double-entry system of bookkeeping was published in 1494 by Fra Luca Pacioli, an
Italian , under the very queer title of
"Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportion."
Other chapter headings of the book
are as follows: "The Aims of Bookkeeping Instruction ," "The Evaluation Textbooks," "The Teacher of
Bookk eepi n g," "The Equipment for a
Course in Bookkeeping," "Bookkeeping in the Commercial Curriculum ,"
"The Bookkeepi ng Cycle," "The Managerial Orders of Presentation , "Th e
Record-Keping Orders of Presentation ," "Teaching the Classification of
Accounts," "Teaching Adjust ing Entries," "Methods of Closing Books,"
"Presentation of Practice Sets," "Teaehlng Business Papers and Procedures," "Record-Keeping for AH High
School Students," "Problem-Point
Tests in Bookkeeping, " "A Bookkeeping Contest Examination and Key, "
"Suggested Course of Study for Bookkeeping, " and a bibliography of roferenco material. Tho book has a

The Community Government Association of the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College is sponsoring a conference to be held on the Bloomsburg
campus, the purpose of which will be
to consider the organization of a
state teachers college student federation. Invitations have been sent to
all the state teachers colleges in the
state, requesting them to send representatives to the conference to be
held from March 2 to March 5.
The general membership of the
organization would include the student bodies of the State Teachers
Colleges acting through either representatives of the student governments or delegates to be chosen by
the student body where it is yet unorganized. The main purposes of me
organization is to increase student responsibility in making the college
more nearly a real democracy, and
to study and improve all student activities through an exchange of ideas
and experience.
Since in most college governments
students and deans work together,
Deans of Women and Deans of Men
are invited to attend the conference.
The program planned will include
discussion of athletics, scholarship,
student government, social functions ,
extra-curricular activities, school
publications, and other problems.
There will be joint sessions and separate meetings of the Deans and the
student delegates. The social side of
the convention will not be overlooked.
Colleges are invited to send a
maximum of four student delegates
and two faculty delegates. It is
hoped that all colleges will be represented.

Mr. Herbert McMahon ,
in the commercial department of
Bloomsburg State Teachers College,
has been appointed State Chairman
for the Eastern Commercial Teachers ' Association , which is the largest
a ssociation of commercial teachers
in the country.
The association will hold its fortysecond annual convention at Hotel

the convention , and this year 3500
members are expected to attend.
The theme for the convention and the

Education.",
More than forty years of distinguished service and leadership in
business education is the excellent
record of the Association. It has
grown slowly but steadily from a
group of about fifty at its first meeting in Hartford, Connecticut; in 1897,
to more than three thousand active
and loyal members. It has enj oyed
the support and confidence of business education throughout the country.

Faculty Also Invited to Take
Part in Plan of Writing
To Student Council
Something new in the way of letting the student council know the real
thoughts and feelings of pupils will
be tried on the Bloomsburg campus.
Any student , or; faculty member,
with a complaint , suggestion, or criticism, can write it down, put it in an
envelope add ressed to the "Student
Council", and put it in the letter slot
beneath the postoffice window. Such
letters need not be signed, and does
much to promote cooperation between
students and student government. In
this way legitimate and worthwhile
ideas can be made use of.
The idea is the outgrowth of similar plans discussed at the meeting at
Purdue, which Ray MacBride, president of the student government association, attended. According to representatives to this congress, many
of the colleges in the country use this
plan with great success.

Mexican Newspaper
Proves Interesting
Issue of Weekly Paper, "Mexico
Today," Scores United States
Journalism Practices
A newspaper entitled "Mexico Today" has been received by the exchange editor of the Maroon and
Gold. The paper is printed in Mexico,
and purports to give an accurate account, in news and pictures, of the
facts and fancies of the Mexican
people and aff airs.
The paper is of the tabliod size,
and profusely illustrated. Issued
weekly, news is fresh and interesting.
In the words of the paper, "Mexico
today is front page news. A people
is being awakened . . . our nation is
on the move . . . history is in the
making."
The issue received here decries the
charges of United States papers that
Mexico is ruled by Communists, and
also charges that American papers
have not printed the truth about the
oil affairs..
Anyone desiring to see the paper
may do so at the Maroon and Gold
Office.

would seek the shelter of a small
garret in his country home and write
down the verses he had created while
at work.
He once was affected profoundly
by a picture hanging on the wall of
a friend's home where he was attending a small dinner. The picture depicted a dead soldier lying in the
snow, a widow with a child in her
arms, and a dog crouched near the
corpse. A few lines of poetry accompanied the print , and while he
was reading them, tears filled his
eyes. He asked the group of individuals whose poetry it was. No
one knew but young Sir Walter Scott,
aged fifteen , who was present. Scott
was kindly complimented by Burns
when the latter was told the lines
were written by a poet named Langhome.
In the year 1796 when Burn s was
dangerously ill, he met a neighbor
in the street , and speaking of his
health , he remarked : "I find that
a man may live like a fool, but he will
scarcely die like one."

Should the United States sell airplanes to France ? As always the
opinions are divided. Little was said
or known about the sale until certain
senators demanded an investigation
of secret meetings held by the President. A plane crash involving a
French business man finally brought
the question into full view.
Some say that the United States,
hoping so earnestly for peace, is
merely antagonizing ruling factions in
Europe by aiding France. Inadvertently she is involving herself. Though
she would favor France, she need
not lead her lambs to the ultimate
slaughter.
Others feel that she is justified in
helping a friendly country equip herself for survival. France's airforce
is not comparable to any of the other
powers in Europe. She can, by purchasing planes made in the United
States , build an airforce that will
surpass in number those of other
countries. France is not prepared
for the actual making of the planes.
The United States is. The planes are
of a certain type; the patterns are
already cut; the United States wishes
to clear her factories of this type
to make way for a newer model.
Why shouldn't she receive the gold
from France for ships that any privato citizen could buy ?

registering a clean-cut 42-31 triumph
over the .Huskies on their home floor
Wednesday nigh t.
Bloomsburg clicked well in their
passing attack, taking the ball down
under the basket time after time, but
they were off color in shooting and
saw the Frederick team gradually
pile up a lead which was never
threatened.
The loss was the third for the
Bloomsburg five this season, the first
two having been at the hands of an
undefeated Millersville team. Bloomsburg scored over Lock Haven in a
a closely-fought game hero least
week.

The Bloomsburg Huskies bounced
back into the victory column at West
Chester Saturday night by winning
from a good Chester team, 32 to 29,
Playing before a capacity crowd
the Huskies started rolling early in
the game and built up a good lead in
the first quarter. The second period
West Chester changed from a mar.for-man to a set zone defense and
temporarily checked the Husky offense. The half time score read
Bloomsburg 14, West Chester 10.
Throughout the first half the Huskies did most of their scoring from
far out on the wooden way, but
broke through to counter close to the
net after intermission. They never
held a lead which would permit them
to ease up, but never relinquished
their early lead.
The home team was unable to penetrate the Bloomsburg set defense and
called on their long range artist,
Bill Br own , to do most of the scoring.
He was the only West Chester man
that really troubled the Huskies and
his 16 poin ts made him high scorer
of the evening.
The Huskies employed a slow deliberate offensive instead of the usual
fast passing, sharp breaking, attack.
Bill Kerchusky, sensational sophomore center, continued his high scoring by whipping the net five times
from scrimmage and converting two
fouls for 12 points.

Jiarvey A. Andruss, Dean of Instruction at the State Teachers College, is
the first of several books reviewed in
the January issue of the Louisiana
Commerce Teacher, a commercial
publication.
"The book is a treatise on the
techniques, procedures, and skills in
the teaching of bookkeeping. The
appearance of this book makes it
unnecessary for those who are interested in methods of presenting bookkeping to glean information from
magazines, periodicals, and random
pages in certain books on the teaching of commercial subjects. The
writer has handled his subject in a
very lucid and interesting manner.
"The first of the nineteen chapters
is entitled , "A Short History of Bookkeeping." This one short chapter
should be worth the cost of the book,
especially to those teachers of bookkeeping that do not happen to know
the story of the origin of the words
"debit" and "credit" and that the first
written exposition of the double-entry system of bookkeeping was published in 1494 by Fra Luca Pacioli, an
Italian , under the very queer title of
"Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportion."
Other chapter headings of the book
are as follows: "The Aims of Bookkeeping Instruction ," "The Evaluation Textbooks," "The Teacher of
Bookk eepi n g," "The Equipment for a
Course in Bookkeeping," "Bookkeeping in the Commercial Curriculum ,"
"The Bookkeepi ng Cycle," "The Managerial Orders of Presentation , "Th e

"Presentation of Practice Sets," "Teaehlng Business Papers and Procedures," "Record-Keeping for AH High

"Suggested Course of Study for Bookkeeping, " and a bibliography of roferenco material. Tho book has a
