Letters to the
Editor
Dear Editor:
It has taken a long, long time but
at last the student body is awakening. For years we , the students have
humed and hawed around with outst udent council which is bound hand
and foot by needless rules, and restrictions. There has been an undercurrent for sometime and at last it
has become visibl e in the form of a
peti tion started by a group of students who are tired of this masquerading.
Behind this movemen t there is a
principal which is more important
than anything we should seek. More
and more colleges are conforming to
the wants and desires of the students.
Courses are being introduced and
many fields have been opened on the
demand of students. Colleges and
universities throughout the country
have found that they do not weaken
their scholastic or moral standing, in
some cases they have strengthened
the m.
Complete and radical changes are
not asked by this bloc. They arc willing to gi ve as well as take and if
necessary they are eager to comp romise.
The principal of st udent government is ideal but thai is all, No
longer is the maj ority of students
made up of eighteen and nineteen
year old youngsters, but it is miulc
up of men and women , a good many
of whom have the right to vote in
civil matters but they are not. con*
sidered to have the mind capable of
g uiding their conduct , pleasu r es a n d
stvidies. They can say what they
please , but it is heeded not . They give
their suggestions to student council ,
where-a-upon they receive one of the
mosl brilliant displays of passing over
seen , I sho uld say "Passi n g the
Ruck", until it is hande d back with
the original motion so changed Hint
it bears very little resemblance , or
the pla n is so changed Hint severa l
bla nk walls are encountered . When
we have a large democracy movement must be slow but in a small
democracy repre sented by our college
community where everyone knows
what is liking place I Mere is no need
for the snails pace .
Lot us all think things over , looking not from our own point of view ,
but trnm that of the other side, Lei.

TIFE BLOOD REMEMBERS
Helen Hcdrick
The blood remembers what the
mind forgets in this novel of the
Klamath Country of Oregon and
Northern California , of mountain and
river and rivermouth fishing towns,
salmon country and Indian country ,
one of the last frontiers.
Elden Braddock was seventeen that
spring when Richard Burch arrived
at the ranch under the shadow of
Broken Top Mountain . He is a big,
handsome, easy-going hu nter and
fisherman, as blond as Elden is dark
—dark as an Indian—almost as fairhaired as Elden 's foster sister, Lyda.
Elden knows she must move fast , for
Burch , although honorable, is of the
easy tempera ment of the born wande r er . Lyda is very pretty. Burch
likes Elden best but is obviously a
bit smitten with the other. However,
the elemental female wins over the
pretty coquette.
The story opens when Richard
Burch takes his bride over the long
t rail to the fishing town , establishes
her in his hut and prepares for the
fishi ng season in high spirits. As with
all flsho rfolk , men must work and
women must weep. Elden , tho ugh
very much in love, is not happy.
As the threads of the plot begin to
draw together , we find that frail Lyfla comes to live with them to complicate maHors and to symbolixe the
contrast . There are murders nnd the
factor of suspense is maintained
t hroughout the story.

Lead Circuit With Five Straight
Wins , N o Losses

With eight teams forming the
nucleus, the college intramural basketball is successfully on its way for
the remainder of the winter. Thus
far the Leopards, captained by Dick
Rowlands, are leading the circuit with
a record of five games won and none
lost. The leading individual scorer is
Mario Conti who has tallied twentyseven points.
Games are being played in the old
gymnasium each Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and to permit more
contests the captains have decided on
four games each night. This will
make it possible for each club to see
action every evening the games arc
played.
Captains Head Board
fc
The captains of each aggregation
will act as the ruling body on all
matters that concern the league.
They have come to the conclusion
that any boy who was at any time
during the current season a member
of either the varsity or the junior
varsity squads and is still eligible to
play may not compete in the intramural circuit .
A two round card is being considered with each team meeting the*
other twice. Members of the varsity
squad are acting as officials.

Ninety-two of every hundred graduates of the State Teachers College,
Bloomsburg, during the past ten years
have found employment according to
figures recently released by President Harvey A. Andruss covering
over a thousand degree graduates , 77
percent have taught and 15 percent
have been engaged in various other
occupations. An interest ing side light
on the investigation is revealed in the
fact that Earl N. Rhodes, Director of
Teacher Training and Placement, who
conducted the ten year st udy of graduates of tho Bloomsburg State Teachers College from 1930 to 1940, was .
able to contact all of the 1025 graduates with the exception of eight.
This is a "return " percentage almost
unheard of in this type of investigation.
The investigation reveals a continu ing and increasing demand for teachers from the time Pennsylvania
Teachers Colleges conferred the degee of Bachelor of Science in Education.
The class of 1937 ranked firs t with
99 percent of the class securing employment, of which 85 per cent were
teaching and 14 percent engaged in
other occupations . The class ranking
last in the study which might be
called the "Depression Class of '33"
had the high rank of 95 percent placed in spite of the depression era. Sixty -nine percent of this group were
teaching and- 21 percent in other
occupations . The most recen t group
of graduates in 1941 shows an exceptionally high average of placement in
teaching, defense, and war activities,
but was not included in this study.
All indications show that recent demands for teachers can not be met.
Calls for teachers have come from
state and federal authorities , and
many requests from school officials
seeking teachers in the Elementary,
Secondary, and Commercial fields are
received weekly according to Earl N.
Rhodes , Director of Teacher Training
and Placement.
