From the Editor
Many inquiries have been made as
to why the Maroon and Gold was not
published prior to this date. Let it be
known that the delay was caused
neither by the staff itself , nor by the
Business Office. Each year the printing contract goes to the establishment
in this vicinity which submits the
lowest bid. Bids were let in early
September, but because of the rise
in the price of printing materials,
all were too high. New bids were
prepared, and the contract was finally awarded to the Service Printcry
in Danville. It would have been possible to publish the paper October 27,
but the staff decided that since
Homecoming was only a week away,
it would defer publication until this
date and at that time put out a sixpage issue.
This year, students not on the staff
will be urged to contribute to the
paper. These contributions may be in
the form of editorials , news articles,
or statements of opinion. Any member of the stall will gladly accept
such articles, and see to it that they
are given prope r consideration.

Make customs stiff, but sensible!

customs are observed like that! Enforce the rule that upper-classmen
get privileges first. Then too, freshmen should not be allowed on Senior
Walk.
Freshmen come here after they
have been "dignified" Seniors in high
school. College is different ! Keep the
"frosh" busy every minute during
customs—if they don 't look busy already. Give the quiet ones just as
much to do as those who try to get
in the lime-light right away. This
gives the quiet ones a feeling of importance and gets some others off
their "high horse." Make them all do
crazy things. Later, then, other students can turn to a Freshman and remember him as the one who had to
wear the bell extended from his
forehead . He'll be admired, too, if he
was a good sport. He will have earned his place in this school.
I have just returned from my window. No wonder the Freshmen get
wrong attitudes. Some upper-classmen threw apples down at boys singing "How Green I am." Now is that
sensible? Make the "fr osh" sing, but
don 't break their skulls!
Then, too, I can't find any good
reason why a "frosh" should "have
any more money than anyone else.
Why should he treat a whole gang of
upper-classmen? That isn't fair! Inst ead , make him drink his "coke"

college, an d tha t doesn 't mean earning money.

Maybe this sounds mean and hardhear t ed , but I had an extra dose of

To the Editor:—
I approve of customs! A large number of entering Freshmen lack the essentials of good citizenship on a college campus.
Oh , I feel sorry for them! I, too,
understand
such embarrassment.
Embarrassment? Well, it is embarrasing to the Freshmen. The first
three weeks stretch out so hideously.
I believe the first week is the hardest to get used to. Later customs are
fa irly easy. In the past students enforcing customs went to extremes,
but today most colleges are lenient.
The pampered and spoiled child
finds it hard to adjust himself to his
new environment. Since he has been
sheltered and protected by his parents, the upper-classmen proceed to
put him in his place (not make him
feel inferi or but to aid him) . How
odd that customs can aid one! You
.sec, I know how customs benefited

I confess that I was spoiled. After
customs wore over, knew that I, as

HAVE YOU A FEAR PH O BIA ?

Too many people today allow
themselves to victimized by fear.
Poverty, il ness , ignorance, failure,
ridicule, criticism, death, insanity,
loneliness, and public opinion comprise a fraction of the countless
fears that assail the multitudes.
Thousands of students suffer a
number of fears, a few of which occasionally, but very infrequently, do
materialize. This is very unfortunate,
because it serves to aggravate the
student's worries. Among these innumerable apprehensions are: fear of
recitations, fear of grades, aversion
for speech-making, fear of certain
subj ects, teachers, tests, class discussions and social life. I could go on
and on enumerating a host of others. But my purpose is not to list all
these grievances, but rather to select
and analyze one or two of the most
c u rren t, and attempt to dispel in a
measure any morbid associations
connected therewith.
Fear of tests and certain subjects
is common to many. I would say
here, do your utmost. If you make an
average grade, don't gnash your
teeth and tear your hair because you
didn't rate in the upper third. Rather , be content. Realize your limits.
You have done your best. Expect no
more.

A word about grades. Personally I
despise them. Too often they are unr
fair. Students and teachers alike
often misunderstand. I would like to
say "Don't fail students! Don't give
grades! It's a pity to knowingly hurt
a fellow 's pride. Who likes to mingle
every day with the fellows whose
marks show them to be your mental
superiors? You know they really
aren 't. But these particular subjects
are a little difficult for you, though
you do your best. It hurts, doesn 't
it? You bet it does!"
The j oy that the "A" brings to the
too few select is much too trifling—
too brief to ever compensate for that
"ordinary, mediocre" feeling characteristic of the average pupil.
Bu t again , since we students cannot abolish this system, we must bear
it. And again I say, "Put your best
foot forward. Keep your chin up."
There are at present, and there
will always be a few of us who find
it easier to shirk rather than to enter
into student social life. This is wrong.
You are cheating yourself. Never in
life can you evade social contact and
live happily and normally.
Have you a fear phobia? Conquer
it. Now! DO THAT WHICH YOU
FEAR. Be a man. Be a woman. Be
master of yourself.

SECOND HAN D BOOK
STORE IS NEEDED

On the Campus

The need for a second hand book
store at B. S. T. C. has long been
recognized, but as yet little action has
been taken to satisfy this need. It is
obvious to all that students are making a great sacrifice to attend this institution, and , certainly, any method
to save a few dollars would be welcomed by almost everybody.
Many students, in order to save
money, send to the cities for used
books. This process is long and involved, errors are made, and parcel
post must be paid. If there were a
second hand book store on the campus, these extra worries would not
exist.
At present, there is a store in which
the students must buy new books,
but the administration makes no provision for the second hand book
store. However, there is little doubt
that they would consent to it, if the
students here at B. S. T. C. opened a
seco n d ha n d book s to re, managed by
and for themselves.
Is there a leader amongst us? Is
there one who can originate, organize
and manage? If there is, let him begin work, and be not surprised how
many followers he will have. The
need is urgent, and that which is
urgent should receive consideration.

Books and Autho rs
Vincent Sheean, author of the current nations best-seller "Not Peace
But a Sword," looked at a map that
was passed out by the triumphant
Germans in Czechoslovakia immediately after that country 's surrender
in September, 1938. The map depicted what Europe would look like after the dictators completed their
purported drives. The Nazis would
dominate the British Isles, northern
Fran ce , Scandinavia, t h e B a l t i c
States, Czechoslovakia, Poland and
Ukrainia. The Fascists would have
the entire Mediterranean shore countries, including France, Spain, and
all North Africa. This wild ' dream
has undoubtedly grown into something more fantastic since the unforeseen giant stride of Russia has
made itself felt. The j umbled events
occurring in Europe lately have not
only startled the other half of the
world, but have unquestionably
flustered the instigators themselves,
"Not Peace But a Sword," is written by a veteran newspaperman who
saw much of the Spanish Civil War ;
who saw Hitler ride as a conqueror
into Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia, on
the way to Prague; who heard Hitler
speak; and who looked upon the
once gay Vienna as a city bereft of
all gaiety. Here is a panorama of
military and political movements in
Europe that have not as yet reached
their point of culmination. The uncer t ain , fearful, and swiftly paced
changing events in the many cities
and countries which the author visited are recounted without reserve.
Hospital scenes in Spanish war areas,
and the bombing of Barcelona, Valencia , and Madrid; Prague and the
Czech women weeping, men singing,
and girls handing out flowers to the
entering motorized German troops ;
Vienna and the Gestap o, persecution
of the Jews—a vast picture from
which the reader may gain some intimation of the crazy quilt affair on
the other side.—P. K.

(Tom North)
Spirit Fading? Here we are half
way through another football season. The team as yet hasn't tasted
the cup of victory; however, the student body has rendered its bolstering
support 100 per cent.
But now, are we going to neglect
our part of the burden as the last
half of the schedule rolls around?
At Shippensburg Saturday, the
boys played their hearts out in an attempt to check the giant Red Raiders from the Cumberland valley. The
Red and Blue line averaged almost
200 pounds and was 30 pounds to the
man heavier than the Husky forward
wall. This was a tremendous handicap but Bloomsburg wasn't counted
out of the ball game until the final
min utes of play.
A sports reporter in the press coop
commenting on the Huskies' play remarked, "That's the scrappiest ball
club I've seen for a long time.. It's
hard to beat a team like that. "
The team has improved with each
game and looked its best on Heiges
Field last week. Yet in spite of , its
valiant effort not a bit of recognition
was accorded them Monday morning
in assembly when the score was announced.
Don't let the team lose its confidence in you. If you think there is
no hard work done on the gridiron ,
just don a pair of moleskins and find
out for yourself.
o

DYING SPIRIT
Has the spirit of Old Bloomsburg
died? Certainly anyone who saw
the Bloomsburg-Lock Haven football game would deny that the spirit
of the team or the crowd has in the
least dwindled. Even against overwhelming odds the Bloomsburg Huskies fought a valiant battle. Lock
Haven came to Bloomsburg a heavy
favorite, but they met a different
team from what they had met last
year on their own field. They found
themselves face to face with a team
that had fight, and lots of it. Moreover, in the stands was a howling
crowd of boosters who were yelling
words of encouragement to a team
that was already doing a fine job.
Bloomsburg didn 't emerge with
the largest score, but every one
claimed the victory. They had seen
a team rise to great height's and go
down fighting In a sportsman-like
manner which was typical of a true
Bloomsburg team. Congratulations ,
Team!

The Bloomsburg Huskies Soccer
team met their third opponent, Lock
Haven, on October 14 and sent them
homeward af ter defeating them 3 to
0. The game was closely fought and
for a time it was hard to decide who
would win the contest. Bloomsburg
scored in the second quarter and
that was enough to win the game.
Lock Haven made several serious
threats, but goalie Lynn repealed
them.

Cam pus Quiz
A campus quiz conducted by the
Maroon and Gold concerning the
present European conflict asked the
question "Should the United States
repeal the arms embai'go?" The answers:
* * *
Joseph Layos, Sophomore—"Yes, it
would stimulate business in the United Stat es, help to repair economic
con dit ion s , and get our own factories
in good condition in case of emergency."
* ? ?

Spenser Roberts, Sophomore—
"Decidedly , no. Too much danger of
the United States Government being
drawn into the European conflict. "
* * ?

Thomas Canard , Freshman— "Yes,
the United States could stay neutra l
more easily, besides , repealing the
arms embargo would aid the Allies,
and this should be dono by the
United Stntes."
* * ?

Helen Burl'us, Sophomore— "No ,
the arms embargo should not be repealed. The sale of arms would only
cause a false prosperity , which would
end at the conclusion of the war and
again plunge the country into depresQ,
sion."

The chief Homecoming Day attraction tomorrow afternoon Will be the
gridiron clash between the Huskies
and Kutztown 's Golden Avalanche.
Neither team, has compiled a record to date and both will be striving
for a sorely needed victory before a
large Homecoming throng.
The much heavier Kutztown team
invades Mt. Olympus with, two victories against three defeats. Their
victories have been registered against
East Carolina Teachers and Montclair Teachers, both out of state
schools, while the McGovern coached
crew has suffered defeat at the hands
of Lock Haven, Shippensburg and
West Chester.
The Huskies, on the other hand,
have yet to break into the win column and will be shooting for a win
over the Avalanche.

A valiant Bloomsburg Husky team

For three periods the two teams
battled to a stalemate with Shippensburg providing most of the offensive,

DID YOU KNOW ?
Did you know that we have a celebrity among our faculty? Last December, 1938, our own Dr. Kuster,
pleasant, but very modest', professor
of biology, made a report before the
Limnological Society of America at
Richmond , Virgin ia, concerning fresh
water Jelly-flsh. Dr. Kuster spoke to"
an audience consisting of scientists
from all sections of the,United States
and Canada.
Af ter speaking before this distinguished audience, Dr. Kuster
would have us believe he is but an
unimportant part of his work. Nevertheless, we believe Dr. Kuster deserves more than a little praise for
his discovery of fresh water Jellyfish.
These Jelly-fish, found for the first
time in this region on August 17,
1937, at the limestone pools in Almedia, are the only Jelly-fish living •
in fresh water. Although they have
no economic value, Jelly-fish are
most interesting chiefly because they
are uncommon. Those which are
common are salt water Jelly-fish ,
which reach a large size. In comparison, Dr. Kuster's fresh water
Jelly-fish grow to the size of 18 millimeters in diameter. Animals so
minute may easily be missed. Thus,
they were supposedly rare. Scientists now believe fresh water Jellyflsh are widely distributed , but seasonal.
Of primary importance is the hydroid form of the Jelly-fish. Several
weeks ago, these forms, which produce Jelly-fish , were obt ained, for
the first time, from materials in the
laboratory. This hydroid form is
translucent and infinitesimal and it is
rarely seen by investigators.
Biologists found fresh water Jellyfish in America for the first time in
1885. Since that time they have discovered them in many states east of
the Rocky Mountains and as far
north as New York State. Now, Dr.
Kuster has found Jelly-fish at our
own back door and he has developed
their hydroid form.
Dr. Kuster, mild and exceptionally modest, continues to serve science.
He places science before self and attempts to divorce the human element from his calling. It is men like
Dr. Kuster of whom Bloomsburg
may be rightly proud .
