Improvement of
Cha pel Pro grams
The Maroon und Gold Staff wishes
to extend its congra tulations to the
Chapel Progra m Committee on the
fine piece of work it has done this
year. Under the able leadership of
Robert Borneman , this active group
has really accomplished something in
the way of giving us an interesting
and varied series of programs in
chapel.
Many times in the past, the program has consisted of nothing more
than the reading of the Bible, announcements and a short period of
singing. This condi tion could not be
blamed on anyone in particular, rather on the general apathy and lack of
in terest. Mr. Fenstemacher, facu lty
member in charge of the committee ,
did his best bu t he could not get sufficent cooperation from the student
body.
Ho w ever , the situation is quite the
reverse this year. Aided by a livewire student chairman and assisted
by an able committee, Mr, Fensternaclicr has seen that we have some
excellent and instructive programs
every Monday and Friday morning.
We feel sure that the entire college
community completely enjoyed the
progra m presented by the Freshmen
du ring customs und also that which
the Sophomore Class gave more recen tly, Mention should also be given
to the musical programs presented at
various limes throughout the current
year by the more talented students of
our school. We nre strongly in accord with the policy of student participation in the bi-weekly progra m
and hope that the future will see its
continuation.
Already the committee is looking
forward to tho Amateur Progra m
sched uled for Friday, December 8.
Only Ihrough the continued cooperation of the student body will the success of this venture be assured. So
le t 's all get behind this committee ,
Mr. Borncman und his cohorts have
given the ball its initial push—let's
keep it rolling!

Letters to the Editor

App reciation of Thanks giving

A 29-year old brick-layer, Pietro
Di Donato, has written a popular
first novel about Italian-American
bricklayers, and has appropriately
..tied it "Christ in Concrete."
Geremio is the foreman of a group
of workers who are erecting a large
ouilding. He complains several times
to the authorities about the poor material used in the work, of ten asking
v.0 have more cement put in the mortar. His requests are repeatedly refused. A group of workers meet
death when the partly finished
building collapses. Geremio suffers
the worst end of all, being buried
alive under ¦a mass of concrete. The
horror of such a catastrophe is
poignantly described.
Af ter Geremio's death the family
of ten finds itself dependent upon
the father's brother-in-law, Luigi,
who provides for them until he himself is made helpless when a heavy
falling rock" crushes his legs and
cripples him for life. The burden of
supporting the family then falls on
the shoulders of twelve year old
Paul, Geremio's eldest son. Although
overcome by heart attacks, the boy
always goes back to his job until he is
finally recognized as a bricklayer
and receives as much pay as the older men with whom he works. Paul
later feels the full wretchedness of
his trade when he sees his godfather
plunge to death from a scaffold to
the sidewalk twenty stories below.
This last accident results in Paul's
loss, of faith in God. He breaks away
from his fellow men. He no longer
attends church. He goes so far as

Annunziata, offers him. This sacriligio us act drives Annuziata to such
a hysterical rage that she beats her
son . Then she falls ill. She calls her
children to her bedside, forgives
Paul, and commends the younger
ones to his care. After her death he
becomes the sole support and binding tie of the family.

To the Editor of Maroon and Gold:
Should Bloomsburg State Teachers College permit a smoking-room
for girls? My answer is an emphatic
"no."
It may be argued that today men
and women are socially equal. In
many instances this is unquestionably
true. None can deny that men and
women alike are permitted freedom
of speech , and press, and political
equality. None can deny the assertion that each holds his own place in
the field of business.
"Why," it may be asked , "if man 's
morals do not suffer because he
sm okes , should woman be denied this
privilege? Just what is wrong with
givi ng the girls a room in which they
may smoke, since many of them so
persistently smoke in places which
they falsely believe to be beyond the
scope of the critical eye?"
My answer is this, can you deny
them the liberty of smoking on the
campus if you concede them a special
room for this purpose? This is
illogi cal.
Smoking is not merely detrimental
to woman 's complex nervous syBtem,
but the colatile alkaloid of nicotine
is highly poisonous to her delicately

Day Room Doings
A great problem is confronting us.
For some time now we've been
puzzling our brains over a phenomenon which has shaken the foundations of our dayroom . The select few,
who are "in the know " have been
chasing the others around the room
looking for those "little black things
that are on the wall." To our dismay no one has been able to find any
as yet. Among the "meanies" who
won't tell is Martha McHenry . Lets
gang up on her. Line forms on the
right, girls.
Come into the dayroom any time
between classes and you will always
find girls lined up along the windows
watching classes change. Now, of
cou rse, I would be the last one to
suspect anyone of ulterior motives,
but , confidentially, it is a ringside
seat to watch that certain "someone"
go to class. Now, understand, I'm
not saying that's what they 're doing
th ere—far be it from me—but, with
all due respect to our revered faculty,
I do n't think it is our faculty who inspires that dreamy, helpless look.
Hunting season comes in every
day at 4:00 P. M. in the girls lunchroom. Af ter that hour anything and
everything found there-abouts, which
is edible, is fair game for a day girl.
Lunch bags are ransacked by the
ravenous mob (figuritively speaking , of course) and nothing is left
but unwashed jars and sacks sagging
on the crumb spatttred tables. Looking in , you know it is time to go
home. School won 't begin again until
the tables are filled with plump,
well-fed lunch bags the next morning.
We upper-class women should
stick up for our Frosh (especially
since they 're our housekeepers) and
see that they get an even break from
the masculine side of the house. Some
of the Frosh fellows simply can't
make up their minds which girl to
take where. One fellow asked four
girls and finally decided to go with
a fif th who was off-campus . The
catch was that he forgot the little
item of notifying each rejected candidate. Another slight catch was the
fact that a couple of the girls got together and found out to their amazement that they were dated with the
same fellow on the same night, for
the same place.
Moral:—One at a time is plenty—
oven for a Frosh.
Where is the most popular spot in
the dayroom? Three guesses and
you 're wrong each time. Our big,
full-length mirror, of course. Between classes there are one or two in
front of it all the time. During the
class period we find someone looking
in that direction on the average of
every three minutes. At noon, before
oi af ter school, it is practically a
physical impossibility to get within
