Mr. Albert pointed out that at that

the privilege to register for service to
their country.
The American people want peace
but it is impossible to use reason ,

Mr. Albert asked the question,
"How much progress have we made
since the last war?"
Hitler is out to control the world
and force is the only thing that will
stop him. Therefore, we must prepare whether we want to or not. We

Unusual interest has been shown
by the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College students participating in C.

Bigony, flight instructor, said in behalf of the airport personnel, "My
students are giving us perfect cooperation and are certainly making
rapid progress."

getting one-half hour to one hour of
flight instruction each day, depending, of course, upon the individual's
schedule at school and weather conditions. They have thus far approximately a total of three to five hours
actual flying time. They must have
at least eight hours in the air before
they can solo. The instructor, however, decides whether the student
needs additional instruction before
soloing.
Gerald Fritz, one of the boys taking the course, had an unusual experience. Jerry, having scheduled to
fly at seven in the morning took off
with an instructor from a partially
"fogged in" field. At the end of his
half-hour they returned to the airport
to find that a change of wind had
completely covered the field with a
blanket of f og. .Terry h^d nn ear'y
class at school so the instructor rather than attempt a landing in the
dense fog expertly "sat down" on a
very small neighboring farm. The
owner rushed out to investigate the
"crash" and upon hearing the plight
of the young "birdman", obligingly
drove Jerry to school in his car. The
instructor flew the plane to the airport later.
The ground course, in charge of
Mr. William Reber, although requiring much work, has proved to be
very interesting. The students are
studying the history of aviation, civil
air regulations, the theory of flight ,
navigation , meterology, engines, instruments, parachutes, and the use
of radio. The two hour class meets
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 o'clock.

Talking about Conscription, The
Memphis State Teachers "Tiger
Rag" supplies this timely anecdote:
One negro was worrying about the
chance of his being drafted for the
army. The other consoled him.
"There's two things that can happen:
You is either drafted or you ain't
drafted. If you ain't drafted , forget
it; if you is, you still got two chances.
You may be sent to the front and
you may not. If you go to the front ,
you still go two chances. You may
get shot and you may not. If you get
shot , you still have two chances ; you
may die and you may not. And even
if you do die, you still has two
chances."
Still in the same mood:

HOMECOMING DAY
Welcome, alumni , parents, and friends to the Fourteenth Annual
Homecoming Day. Yes, for fourteen years Bloomsburg State Teachers College has celebrated what is now known as Homecoming Day.
This institution was one of the first to commemorate this occasion , and
graduall y it has sprea d throug hout practically every college. At first
it was merely called something in the order of Parent Day, but , of
course, with the same significance—'to welcome the alumni , parents,
and friends. Year after year it has developed, until today it stands out
as one of the most important days of the college calendar.
The students and faculty work hand in hand, planning, decorating,
and advertising, so as to convey that joyful , welcoming spirit to alumni, parents, and friends. Even certain organizations off campus are

WHY COMPULSORY TRAINING
Passing groups of people on the streets, in the halls, and in other
public places, you hear one topic being discussed very fervently and
frequently. The question mentioned is: Why must we have compulsory military training in this country during peace time?
Why indeed! A comparison of the United States with any single
nation in the world shows that this country, our United States , remains supreme and is in ho serious danger from invasion. However ,
with three or four leading powers forming a corporation of war , the
United States would be in a most vulnerable position—as we are now!
Therefore, we must prepare rapidly.
We all hope and pray that we shall never see this country engaged
in another war. Yet we are not being intelligent to close our eyes to
the fact that we can become involved, and easil y ! In this event, what
would be the outcome?
Where is the young American who, in time of war , would not
be thankful for his military training and wish that he had more. Then
it will be too late to train a soldier properl y for the trials of modern
warfare. It is the opinion of this writer that all colleges and universities should adopt the policy of the "land grant " schools in America.
These schools require that men students nave two years of military
trainin g in the Reserve Officers Training Corps to be certified for a
degree from that school. All men , with the physical ability, may elect
two additional years of R.O.T.C, work , and graduate with a Second
Lieutenant 's rating in the "Reserves ". These men are grateful for their
compulsory training. The R.O.T.C. unit would be a valuable addition
to any school of higher learning; yes, even to high school,
When the people, who resent this conscription law, stop and think ,
logicall y and unselfishly, they cannot help seeing that this measure is
a necessity, be it peace or war , for the welfare or the United States as
a nation, for the good of democracy as a system free from dictatorial
rule, and , most important for the good of humanity. Let us accept this
law with a thought for the future , and we will see what a great measure it really is,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Sophomore Class held two elections, and the small number of students who voted was rather astonishing. At the first election forty-four students voted out of one hundred twenty-five. This represents a little more
than one-third of the class. The results of this election prove that the
majority is being dominated by a minority. This policy of voting is inconsistent with our democratic system of government where the maj ority is
dominant.
I should like to cite an example to prove that a government is tyrannical where the minority rules. I think that everyone has been observing
very attentively the German regime. How did Hitler get his great sway ? He
started as a small minority leader and "wormed" his way up through the
Reichstag and the chancellorship until he became a power that ruled with
an iron hand.
I am quite sure that the Sophomore Class does not want to foster such
a system as this. They should know that they are permitting a small minority to have the power to pass a law or measure that will be binding upon the
majority.
Upon reflection I believe I know why the average sophomore looks at
the election with such disinterest. It is because he feels that there is always
a small group that controls everything, and therefore it does not really matter whether he votes or not. This would not be true if the sophomores would
vote a hundred percent.
When the second election was held, seventy-five sophomores voted, but
there still was not a quorum . So the students who were registered as sophomores, because they were not eligible to become juniors, had to be almost
dragged into the polls. These students felt that since they would become
jun iors the second semester, they were not obligated to vote. This, however,
is a misconception for they must vote as sophomores just as long as they are
registered as sophomores. Therefore they can be compelled to vote.
If sophomores would turn out a hundred percent for all elections this
Nazi policy of a minority imposing its measures on a majority would be
abolished,

Lehman Scores First Marker
Of Season for College
Against Havenites

Aggregation
Buchheit - Kostos
Is Light; Shippensbur g
Averag es 190 lbs.

A profitable second period which
saw them score twice gave Lock
Haven State Teachers College football unit an overwhelming 19 to 6
victory over an air-minded Husky
eleven last weekend. The game played at the nest of the Bald Eagles
was witnessed by a Homecoming
Crowd of some seven hundred chilled
fans.
Both teams entered the contest
seeking their first win of the season.
The Bald Eagles unleashed a furious
ground attack that completly stunned and swept the Huskies asunder
th us giving the Eagles their initial
win. Lock Haven crossed Bloomsburg 's goal again in the third period.
The Buchheit-directed forces scored
their first six-pointer of the year;
this coming in the final stanza.
Campell, ground-gaining fullback,
sparked the Eagles to their triumph
as he tallied two of the markers.
Mulusiak accounted for the third
Lock Haven marker.
Dimunitive Leo Lehman, veteran
Husky back, crossed the Lock Haven
goal line midway through the last
quarter from the two yard line. The
Huskies compiled 138 yds. from their
passing attack.
Big Second Period
The Bald Eagles which were clawing the Huskies un-mercifully recieved possession of the ball in the
second period on their own 48 yard
line. Continual driving against the
Husky forward wall by Mulusiak and
Campell brought the ball to Bloomsburg's 14 yard line.
At this point the Huskies were
penalized ten yards for talking and
the Eagles had the ball on B. S. T.
C.'s four yard stripe and Don Campell carried it over for the score.
Dry's attempted placement was
blocked by Schminky, Husky end.
Several minutes later Don Campell
skirted left tackle and behind good
blocking romped from his own 44-fifty six yards for a touchdown. The
bonus-point was added by Dry, Lock
Haven center.
Aerial Attack
The Eagles again with Mulusiak
lugging the pigskin added another
tally in the third frame to give them
a 19 point lead.
Undaunted, however, the Huskies
came back. Unable to gain successfully on the ground they took to the
air. Leo Leham, who played the
fullback role, threw perfect strikes
to the Husky ends who raced for
long gains.
Frank Robinson , freshman halfback, carried the Lock Haven kickoff following the last Eagle score to
the Bloomsburg 30, Then the blitzkrieg began.
Besides heaving accurate passes
Lehman paced the attack with some
neat running performances which
finally gave them a first down on
the Lock Haven five. Here Robinson
clipped off throe yards around right
end. On next play Lehman ploughed through the center of the line for
a score. The kick for extra-point was
not successful. (Summary Page Six)

Determined to wage a do-or-die
bat tle in an effort to manufacture
their firs t killing of the current 7game season, the revitalized Huskies
have sharpened their claws for their
annual Homecoming • Day shindig
with the rugged Shippensburg aggregation. The game/ which will be
the Huskies' last home contest of
the year, will be played on Mt.
Olympus at 2:00.
Although dropping their last
engagement to Lock Haven, the
Buekheit-coached unit staged their
best performance of the year. Bubbling over with pep after scoring their
first six-pointer against the Bald
Eagles, the B. S. T. C. gridmen are
intent upon writing a victory into
the books.
Coaches Buchheit and Kostos have
been drilling the Huskies hard all
week in preparation for the all-important Shippensburg match. The
squad was given light workouts
Thursday and Friday so that the
team could enter the game in the
best of shape.
Four Seniors
Four seniors will don Maroon and
Gold uniforms for the final home
game of the season. Lehman , hardworking full back; Bill Kerchusky,
stalwart wingman ; Wesley, mite
center; and Grant Brittingham, reserve tackle, will play their last
collegiate football game on Mt.
Olympus.
With but few experienced men on
the squad, Coaches Buchheit and
Kostos have moulded an eleven that
shows rapid improvement with each
game. Several freshman occupy varisty spots and have helped build the
light but hard-fighting Huskies into
a vastly-improved club.
Light Team
The Huskies, whose forward wall
averages 178 pounds, will face a
much heavier Shippensburg. George
Menarick, converted back, has been
moved up to strength the Husky line
which showed weakness in the beginning of the season. The 200 lb.
tackle did commendable work in the
Lock Haven test and he is ' being

Sporting Around By Alex Foster
Those victory-starved Huskies, craving for their first taste of triumph ,
displayed abounding spirit in their recent tussel with Lock Haven. The
Huskies belated aerial attack definitely established itself as a weapon to
be reckoned with . The precision like accuracy of the Lehman-directed
heaves brought the Huskies their initial six-pointer of the season.
The small but enthusiastic band of B. S. T. C. rcoters who accompanied
the team saw the Huskies strut their best performance of the current
season via the air lanes. Hard-driving by the Lock Haven backfield
brigade and some ragged tackling by Bloomsburg set up the three Lock
Haven tallies.
JBADI 1J 1» ULTA BXAJM lJimj

Orchids to the fifty-three Maroon and Gold band who made the trip
to Lock Haven. Their snappy marching and their excellent renditions of
tunes throughout the game helped to lend added color. It was the first
appearance of a visiting band on the Bald Eagle playing sod thus far.
Not only was the college band enjoyed from the Bloomsburg side but
the Bald Eagle followers as well. In contrast was the twelve-piece group
tha t represented the hosts.
Few schools of our size can boast of such a fine band as ours and it
would be a worthwhile practice to send the B. S. T. C. musicians on as
many sport events as possible.
SIGHTSEEING

While absorbing the candidv glances of the Lock Haven campus we were
greatly attracted by the number of new building that have been erected
on their campus. Besides a new library and auditorium they have added
a hugh sport hall which houses an indoor dirt field used for track, basketball court and a large swiming pool plus adequate dressing facilities for
all sports. Unlike our gym, their building is already in use.
As one enters the football field he finds that it has evidentally been
cut out of solid rocks as on both sides are high walls of stone. . . Not far off
is the spot where the Husky booters put the Bald Eagle soccermen to
shame but a few weeks back, even if they are hesitant to admit it.
EXTENSIVE ATHLETIC PR OGRAM
Little do we realize that Bloomsburg State Teachers College has a
very broad and extensive athletic program ; much more than have many
schools our size. With a student enrollment that hovers near the six hundred
and fifty mark, our sport teams are represented in nearly every field
possible.
Tennis, basketball, baseball, football, soccer, crosscountry, track, and
bowling are some of the activities which our well-balancod program offers
to each one of us. An effort is being made to add golf .
Girls enjoy such favorites as hockey, volley-ball, softball and etc,
Inter-mural basketball is also a part of the college sport plan.
Whether we enter into this soort program depends soley on us, and
the outcome of our athletic teams rests on our shoulders; therefore we
should keep in closer harmony with our teams. Encourage the teams and
do your part to keep Bloomsburg sport-conscious ,

The Shippensburg eleven is putting
forth much effort in preparation for
the Homecoming game this Saturday.
Head coach, Eddie Gulian , has his
boys working on pass defense with
little attention to offensive play.
Needless to say the lads from "down
st ate " have much regard for the
Maroon and Gold.
Line Is Big And Fast
A line that averages two hundred
pounds between the ends, flanked by
a pair of ends weighing one hundred
ninety-eight and one hundred seventy
makes a very formidable wall for
any ground offensive. The'se boys are
all big and fast. To date the Shippensburg club has been beaten only
by Stroudsburg who out maneuvered
them in the air. Ruess, left end and
captain, is an artist at knocking out
interference and trapping the ball
carrier. The Red and Blue line has
a name for charging straight through
smothering the play before it gets
underway. To date ther.e has been
only nineteen points scored by opponent teams.
Backfteld Well Balanced
George Macian, 145-lb. quarter
back, calls the plays and runs the
ends ragged. Fast and shifty, this
boy is always dangerous. Giacobello
and Grove, 190 and 160 lbs. respectively, carry out the blocking assignments , and off tackle smashes are
duck soup for these two. Bill Reid,
6 ft. 1 in. and 193 lbs., is a human
battering ram inside the guards. This
fullback, behind a powerful line, is
a dangerous ground gainer. He runs
with a high knee action that is essential to all good fullbacks.
Team In Perfect Condition
There is but one inj ury to mark
the condition of the Shippensburg
club . Aspinwall suffered a fractured
nose two weeks ago but will see service here on Saturday. The rest of
the squad is in good physical and
mental state.

Husky Booters Take 5 Points
In First Half; Final
Score, 8-2
Led by Captain George Housknech t, the B. S. T. C. Soccer team
defeated Elizabethtown in what
proved to be a set-up for the Maroon
and Gold. The first quarter, was
hotly contested, with the Huskies
driving into the Blue and White
scoring area time and again only to
^
by brilliant defensive
be repulsed
work by the opponent fullbacks.
Conner Sets-Up First Score
With three minutes remaining in
the first period, Connor, B. S. T. C.
lineman , intercepted a dribbling
Betty , trapped the ball and carried
it deep into enemy territory and
kicked for the cage. In a desperate
attempt to block the kick the Elizabethtown fullback fumbled the ball
and it carromed through the cage to
score for B. S. T. C. Here the period
ended and teams changed fields.
Second Quarter All Bloom
The second period was only
started when Yeany intercepted ,
passed to Wanick, who passed to the
outside. Kostenbauder picked up the
roll and dribbled to ihe corner, where
he centered to Slusser who booted
the goal from ten years out. On the
kick-off , Connor , who runs with the
speed of a Van Devender, dribbled
down the sidelines and passed off to
Thomas who scored with a difficult
angle shot.
Wanick And Webb Use Their Heads
The Betty Booters kicked out of
bounds entitling Bloom to a corner
kick. "Bull" Wanick, Husky fullback,
played a position immediately in front
of the cage. Connor footed a high
kick from the corner , Wanick leaped
high in the air and headed the ball
through the posts. This feat brought
a roar of approval from the spectators. Only seconds later Bob Webb
used the same method of scoring.
The kick from corner came in high,
but Wanick missed fire, t hen Webb
connected and the ball sailed into
the cage. The half ended at this
point with Bloom leading 5 to 0.
Second Half And Betties Score
The Blue and White lads scored
twice in this period , the result of
two well-aimed kicks after effective
tries on the Husky goal. However,
t he B. S. T. C. team nullified these
with three goals. This period was
much the same as the first. The
Huskies wore superior in all departments. The final score saw Bloomsburg on the long end of the 8 to 2
score.

WA LLER HALL GIRL S DECOR AT E
ROOMS FOR HOMECOMING DAY
A Cappella Cboir
Sings at Kutztow n

by Larry Myers

Homecoming Day, 1940 . . . Let us
enjoy ourselves while we can for who
is to say what will happen in the next
year? The freshmen and upperclassmen as well have done nobly in making the gym and the campus prettier
and more festive-Iike than ever before. All we need to do now is lick
the pants off Shippensburg. It'll be
tough but we know the boys can do
it.
Notes about the faculty . . . Miss
Hayden won seven blankets at the
local Fair last month. It looks like
a cold winter at that. Miss Ranson
used to play the saxophone back in
the days when she was teaching in
high school. Look her up, Booth. For
the benefit of those who kick about
the lack of interest in the affairs of
^ faculty,
the school on the part of the
we'll impart some information we
just learned a short time ago. During
the campaign to raise money for the
Student Loan Fund several years ago,
the faculty pledged almost one third
of the total amount raised—four
thousand dollars out of fifteen thousand which amounts to a per capita
contribution of almost one hundred
dollars . That's giving till it hurts.
And on the social room situation—
How hard would it be to put reading
lamps around in the Waller Hall
lobby and eliminate the overhead
lights ? If nothing else it would give
the place a much more informal atmosphere. This business of having a
few dim overhead lights with the
consequent strain on everybodies'
eyes is awfully silly in view of the
small extra cost it would entail.
Come to college and ruin your eyes.
Fine Thing.
Come to think of it it'll be tough
sledding this Saturday. Why ? Ha!
Hal There isn't any snow!!!
The alumni who read this might
like to know that Dick Foote and
Eda Bessie Beilhartz are putting on
their second musical comedy the
middle of next month. They've recruited some fine talent from the
freshman class and have made liberal
use of the ability of the upperclassmen. Don't miss it.
Idea for Assembly Program : A
student-faculty quiz with questions
submitted by the students themselves
for an equal number of students and
faculty members to contend with.
Who wants to do it ? ? Assembly attendance seems to be holding up
rather well in spite of its not being
compulsory. We hope it won 't be
necessary to go back to the old system which is altogether below the
standard to be expected of college
students who claim they can think
intelligently by themselves and resent implications to the contrary.
Hmmm! These Frosh are pretty clever. We heard this about Ted HarPublic Affairs Forum Draws

imagine the excitement caused by
an election in which members are
revoting for the third time. With
four officers to elect, the first vote
resulted in a tie for all but secretary,
and the new secretary is Betty Sell.
The second ballot made Virginia
Dean vice-president and Jane Sharpless treasurer. Out of 32 club members 27 have voted regularly, and
everyone is eager to know who the
new president will be. The third ballot is underway with every member
avidly awaiting the results.
This is only one activity. Although
the trip to Eagles Mere was sponsored by the college, many "B" Club
members went. Not only was the
weather perfect for several hikes
through the woods and around the
lake, but Autumn turned out one of
her most perfect days and the girls
went swimming. The day 's fun was
topped by an evening square dance
held in Muncy village.
Club plans and preparations for
Home-coming are well organized. We,
who merely look on that day, have
little conception of the work required
to shell, salt, and roast one hundred
and fifty pounds of peanuts. ( Now
you know why that good odor is floating out of the kitchen in Science
Hall.) Then there are the stand decorations and the flowers that are to
be sold. This year, the Club will have
giant gold and bronze chrysanthemums tied with maroon and gold
ribbons. Don't forget to get THE
GIRL one , boys.
Something new this year for
Bloomsburg will be the attending of
Play Day at West Chester. This Play
Day is for State Teachers Colleges
and is being held for the second time.
The theme this year is Hockey and
will be carried out through demonstration games, lectures, and discussions with explanations of the
rules and regulations. A selected
team of girls from Bloomsburg will
attend this Hockey Play Day on November 9. Besides the work and study
on hockey, there will be a luncheon.
Later in the afternoon , t here will be
an opportunity for swimming in the
West Chester pool.
There is a rumor that a certain
lawyer in Bloomsburg is negotiating
for a real cabin-home for the "B"
Club girls. We certainly hope he is
successful. Miss Hayden has faith in
the materialteation of the "B" Club's
dream-cabin , and all were delightfully surprised when she gave six
blankets for it.

Columban Club Meets
Plans Basketball Team
This year one hundred and twentyfive members were enrolled in the
Columban club which held its second
meeting on Thursday evening, October 17th in St. Columban's hall.
The officers elected were: president, Joseph Hudock; vice-president,
James Pape; treasurer, Aldona Maslowski, and secretary, Eleanor Twardzik.
The meeting was opened with prayer and a business meeting followed ,
at which time various suggestions
were made concerning the formation
of a basketball team. A committee
was appointed to act in this capacity
and Father Gearing then addressed
the students on the topic, "The Rosary and the Modern Mind". A community sing, led by John Paganelli,
and selections by Herman Wesnock
and Paul Rollins were enjoy ed by the
group. Father Yeager then said a
few words and after refreshments
were served the meeting was concluded.

BAND JOURNEYS
TO LOCK HAVEN

Many Novel Ideas Prevail In
Room Set 'Up; Patriotic
D esign Used
As one passes through the corridors of the college dormitory and
glances into the open rooms, her eyes
fall on polished furniture, new decorat ions, and quaint knick-knacks.
Large signs with blazing headlines,
"Room Judging," adorn the bulletin
boards of Waller Hall. The press
rooms are filled with chattering
voices belonging to girls who are engaged in the last minute pressing of
drapes or spreads, or else with the
clanking of dust mops against the
window sill. It is just a common occurrence if the dust falls on the head
of some unfortunate individual who
happens to.be gazing out of the lower-storv window.
The rooms look more promising
than ever. Editha Whitesell has cleverly filled in a blank space on her
wall by tacking up a large blue map
of the Pacific Ocean. Featured in
light blue, the map makes a striking
contrast with the darker shade of
her drapes and spread.
It is a belief that a room in a
dormitory can never be as comfortable as one at home. Helen Dixon
doesn 't think much of this story, and
has brought .back to B.S.T.C. a maple
suite. Her room is one of the most
attractive and unusual rooms in the
dormitory and shows originality as
well as good taste.
Patriotism is playing its part in
interior-decorating. Erma Wolfgang
and Dora Taylor have chosen the
colors of the flag in a striped seersucker. This proves that the Waller
Hall girls are also showing their spirit of democracy.
Every year new ideas make their
appearance at the college. This year
Jeanne Noll -has added another attraction with two crocheted rugs
made from silk stockings. (We hope
the silk wears better in the rugs than
it did in the stockings.)
Josephfina (Schiefer 's victrola) has
again made its appearance in room
483. With both Sally and Jessie teaching music, Josephfina will have competition , not from Jennie Leone
either .
In looking over the collection of
knick-knacks and what-nots, It seems
that bittersweet and pine cones have
taken the lead in decorating. They
are featured in baskets, wall brackets
and in vases. Mrs. Shuntil possesses
an odd but colorful bouquet. Entwined with pine branches and corn on
the cob, it adds a bit of autumn
cheer.
Louise Seemen and Rachel Yarowosky boast the ownership of the
only plaques of Frankie and Johnnie
in the entire dormitory.
Waller Hall girls would appreciate
it , if visitors will refrain from taking
souvenirs from their rooms, Their
little specimens are valuable to them
and seem to add that certain something to an empty corner.

The Maroon and Gold Band, under
the direction of Mr. Howard Fenstemaker, played for the football
game at Lock Haven, Saturday, October 19. Before the game they began
their show on the Lock Haven field
with a trumpet fanfare followed by
"The Star Spangled Banner " and
"Royal Welcome Home." At the half
they played the march "Washington
and Lee Swing." after marching
down the field , they played Lock
Haven's Alma Mater while standing
in formation making the letters "L.
H." The band played a march,
"Northern Trails" as they returned to
the Bloomsburg side of the field
where, in "B" formation, they played
the Bloomsburg Alma Mater .
The following students have recently joined the band: Kenneth
Morse, Hazel Chappell, and Kathryn
Hess—Baton twirlers ; Carmel Siriannl , George Smith, William Seldon—
Saxophone; Betsy Smith—Alto; Don
Jenkins—Trombone ; Mary Louise
Scott—Flute ; Larry Myers—Bass ;
Lillian Baer, Clement Koch—Clarinet; Glonn Jenkins and Larry Doster—
Trumpet.
Don't forgot the band concert In
the gymnasium tomorrow morning,
and don't miss the colorful band with
its twirlers at the Homecoming game
tomorrow afternoon.
LUTHERAN STUDENTS

The newest club on the campus, the
Social Service Club, is swinging into
a round of winter activities that are
in tune with world conditions. At t he
last business meeting a club council
was elected to consider emergency
projects. This group consists of the
club officers , Ruth Baird, Sophia Koko ra, and Claire Sirrocco ; and three
members elected from the club at
large, Ale ta Stypes , Ruth Hope, and
Helen Berfuss. The council has started its work on "Bundles for Briton".
"Bundles" consist of warm, weara ble, but not necessarily new clothing
which is to be sent to England for
people who are in need. The clothing
will be gathered by college students
under the direction of Barbara Gillette ; sent to a Bloomsburg women's
group for mending and packing, and
then sent to a national group. The
national organization ships the "Bundles for Briton ",
Another club project Is aiding with
work in the local Child Welfare Offi ce. During the past two weeks, a
total of twelve hours service has been
rendered to this organization. Some
of the girls are eagerly looking forward to knitting sweaters for the

in Modem Drama. Many members
talked on the play "Winterset" by
Maxwell Anderson.
Margaret Robeson reviewed the
life of Maxwell Anderson. She explained that the purpose of Mr. Anderson's writing the play was to
show that crime does not pay, and
many times j udges sentence innosent
people to death in the electric chair.
Mr. Anderson thinks we should write
plays in poetic form for beauty and
logical reasoning.
George Willard read the account of
the Sacco-Vanzetti murder trial. The
trial forms the plot for the drama.
Jane Dyke read a synopsis of "Winterse t ". Mildred Eton , David Jones,
and Chester Derolf portrayed the
roles of Miriamme, Mio, and Esdras
respectively.
A reception followed for new clubmembers. Next week's program is
Poems of Gypsy Life. Jessie Hackenberger, Evelyn Flagg, and Helen Miller are in charge.

Do You Know—
By E .

D. Wenner

A friend is one who walks in when
the rest of the world walks out.
Opportunity often wears overalls
and looks like work.
Every failure teaches a man some,
thing if he will learn.
Most of us keep quiet about the
heartaches that really hurt.
An outstanding success is the result of willingness to do a little better than "good enough."
If you don't meet success, you
migh t try moving a- little faster in
an effort to overtake it.
You must learn to work with others ; remember the banana—every
time it leaves the bunch it gets skinned.
He most surely lives who harbors
the tiny spark of ambition within his
being.
A bachelor is a person who never
makes the same mistake twice.
They used to say, "I'd walk a mile
for a Camel", but now, "They give
you a lift".
Life 's an aquatic meet; some swim,
some dive, some back-water, some
float , and the rest sink.
One of the most valunble things
one can possess is the habit of noticing things. The interest one takes in
the things about him , to a large degree is a measure of his success.
Finding a j ob nowadays is about as
lough as hunting for an escaped
chain gang fugitive hiding in a herd
of zebras.
I never had any trouble meeting
expenses. In fact I meet them at
every turn .
There hasn't been much stirring
around the house lately because
somebody stole all the spoons.

Waller Hall News
On Monday night the day and dorm
girls had what they called a Farmerette Frolic. Every year they have
a He-She party in the second semester, but this year they just could not
wait for it. So the parly this semester
was a good, old-fashioned , costumed
party for these "farmers" and their
"wives". And their costumes! You
should have seen them—there was
everything from what made a good
imi tation of a scarecrow to the prettiest little farmerette you would ever
want to see. The boy scouts can
vouch for that , because they were
served refreshments by the most alluring country-folk around.
The old-fashioned dancing gave the
more modern version some real competition , too. Jim Deily 's orchestra
f urnished the music.
Just ask the girls how they liked
it , because they are the ones who
determine whether or not they want
another first-semester party next
vpar

Waller Hall girls have j ust gone
through the stage where they again
ask everyone who enters their rooms
either to stand or sit on the floor.
You see, there just couldn't be any
wrinkles in their bedspreads because
room judging has been going on in
preparation for Homecoming. However, when you visit them on Saturday, I'm sure you will understand it
all. Just take a look at some of the
rooms and you will need no more
explanation. (Watch for the attractive room signs on the doors if you
need some help.)
This year some day girls have
come in with us. We're really glad,
because sometimes we do not learn
to know them as well as we like to
when we see them j ust in classes.
Zoe Whitmire, Margaret Robeson,
and Sara Bailey are some new "dormers ", and Betty Lou Kepner and Geraldine Bitting are some old ones
back.
T here are some nice transfers, too.
Edith and Elizabeth Bartha, Ruth
Ebright , Lynda Lord, and Marie
Wert are all those who have j oined
us here at B. S. T. C. We hope they
like it as much as we like having
them here.

With the Day Men
Rhumboogie, R h um boogie , da da da
da . . . oh yes, the daymen are making the most of their new radio, that
is , when someone in the dorm isn 't
dewhiskering with the latest in electric razors.
Although Bruce Sutliff , silver
throated male contralto , and former
leader of the Benton Balladeers, did
not return to school, one can (if he
has an imagination that is quite capable of st retching) recognize the familiar strains from the third movement of "She'll Bo Coming Round the
Mountain When She Comes". Winton
Laubach , Sut liff' s able understudy,
has taken over the baton (there is a
school of though t in the dayroom that
says that the only baton he should
have is a bat-on the hoad.)
Komance seems to be quite the
vogue this year—-in a certain game
of hearts not long ago, Wenner got
the queen of spades so often that ho
thought he must be married to her.
(as if she 'd keep hi m if she saw hi m
under a street light.)
Elwood Beaver, the president of
the day men , takes up whore Confucious left off , by saying— "Is wise
day man who watches bulletin board
for date of annual smoker."
In the past it has been the criticism that the day men wore divided
into two factions—commuters and
"down-town men". Much more can
be accomplished if the "down-town
men" drop in , look over the possibilities of getting game (ping-pong
would be a starter), and add their
support to movements to finance and
maintain them.

Day-room Doings
From all indications, that F.F.F.F.
(guaranteed unrelated to the Democratic administration) affair, scheduled for last Monday nite, proved
to be some punkins. The farmerettes sponsored a real frolic that
left us brushing hay seeds out of
our hair for days to come. Highlighting the occasion was the fact
that the male element was conspicuous by its absence.
All quiet on the elementary front!
After frenzied activity during which
we were nearly cross-eyed from an
overdose of flash cards , the creative
urge blossomed forth in a series of
artistic productions, which we appreciated but were very glad they were
labeled. Now, elem entaries wander
around muttering under their breath,
"Civilization , not Desolation—Sons
not Guns—Pappies not Poppies ". This
we u nderstand , is the slogan stage
featuring anti-war propaganda.
Oh bring back our Honey to us!
That's right. Honey Miller, that blueeyed Frosh from. Mifflin, has walked
out on us for good before she even
knew whether or not she liked us.
We 're going to pin a brass medal
on Idajane Shipe for her generous
contributions to the cause (the Cause
of Hungry and Emanciated Day Women). Every day for a period of
time, she brought a plateful of delicious, bright apples and told ug to
help ourselves. Did we!
One poor Frosh has ju st emerged
from the doghouse of customs. Ruth
Schock has recently accomplished her
task of proving to us her good intentions, humble spirit, and cooperativeness as becomes a freshman up
for doubles. More power to you,
Ru t h!
You know them by that harassed
look—the student teachers. It hasn't
done a thing to their appetites.
Bloomsburg should never have
another gloomy day with the day
women , alias the Gloom Chasers, Inc.,
and their theme song, "You Are My
Sunshine," to lighten things up.
Remember the rainy afternoon the
beige mongrel wandered into our
sanctum sanctorum? Planting himself in front of our mirror, he would
not be moved. Sitting there, he
would do nothing but regard his like ness and growl . We've seen the mirror used for this purpose before—
but without any growling.
Until next time . . .
