/In&uHd the Gamp dtA,

Hate is one of the most potent
weapons of human beings, yet we
must be careful. It can also be one
of the most destructive forces .
For years Germany has been educating its people to hate any peison
not a Nazi . Anyone not of pure blood
according to Hitler 's definition .
An Allied victory over Germany
will certainly bring as many problems as securing that victory. Not
only will the Allies have to eliminate
hate within their own countries but
get rid of the late education that Gcr-i
many lias been fostering.
Dr. B. F. Pittenger , Dean of University of Texas , expresses his opinion , "Any hope of educatin g nil the
world into our own conceptions of
democratic procedure is fu tile. We
cannot in a shor t time make democrats out of authoritarians. But the
big j ob will be to present re-ed ucation of defea ted nations in Jlie ideals
of hate and war. (A. C. P.)
But we must work to see that our
people do not become infec ted with
hate in the Uni ted States. PM in the
issue of November 4 asked its readers to fill in a pledge against hatcmongcrs which was to be turned in
to priest , clergyma n , rabbi or public
officer.
In the world of tomorrow peace
will never be a permanent thin g until the whole world learns that hate
is vice.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to Charles Spencer. He has been credite d with naming the two guardin g lions , Leo and
Leona. We would like to know
though , ChurJes , which is Leo and
which is Leona.

Myrtle had shot her husband when
she discovered his putting his elbows
out the window (an overt act of degeneration which she secretly deplored) .
Public opinion reached a fever
pitch over the plight of poor Gyi'tle,
an unwillin g victim of the law. Poor
innocent Gyrtle—sentenced to death
for a crime of which she was entire ly innocent.
Washington was flooded with letters pleading for her release. "Give
us Back Our Gyrtle Clubs " sprang up
in all sections of the country . Riots
broke out in Slippery Rock , Pennsylvania . Angry mobs stormed the j ail
in which the Siamese twins were being held prisoner. The state militia
was called out to keep order.
International sentiments also interfe red in behalf of Gyrtle 's ¦cause.
The French Ambassador was quoted
as saying "Non , non , non . C' est ter rible. C'est stinks." Russia sent a

MEET
WRESTLING SPORT FIRST SWIMMING
WITH F. & M. COLLEG E
REVIVED AT BLOOM

Our wrestling team will open its
season with Franklin and Marsh all
on December 18. This strenuous activit y is not new to this campus. In
the past Bloomsburg had some good
wrestling teams and this year we are
sure to have one of the best .
Ray Dehler Or ganizes Sport
Since a wrestling coach could not
be found , Ray Dehler accepted the
responsibility to organize a team. In
answer to a request for wrestling
candidates , a number of experienced
men reported . Every class was filled
by at least one experienced member.
There is , however , always room for a
"good man " and all are welcome to
come and try for the team .
The new .candidates include members of varsity squads from all over
the country . These men, however,
should not prevent the unexperienced men from appearing to show what
t ney can do.
Chief Llewellyn , in charge of all
the Navy V-12 athletics, is contacting
a nu mber of schools in the hope of
securing other wrestling matches.
These other possibilities include Lock
Haven and East Stroudsburg. Even
if no more matches are secured , this
activity will definitely be an asset to
all its participants.

DAN CIN G
Dancing is an important social
pastime . So they tell me. It furnishes exercise, relaxation and enjoyment . So they tell inc. Dancing
seems to be the maj or pastime for
everyone between the ages of nine
and ninety .
Now take an ordinary Saturday
night dance. You take it. I'll have
little or nothing to do with it. The
first dance is a delightfu l waltz , or
would one describe a waltz as delightful? By the way , a dance isn 't
j ust one. It's three called a set. I
never could understand why people
don 't have j ust one big long number .
It would save the necessity of starting and stopping and getting in step
again . Also the band would tire more
easily and end the whole fray much
quicker .
The r.oxt terpischorean fea t will be
what is popularly known among the
younger generation as ji ve. This is
simple. One selects a partner and
after a few preliminar y steps, they
proceed to go to town . The resulting
fantasy is a combination of j igging,
throwing in a bit of cancan and at
the same time keeping a partner at
arms length by means of centripetal
force. She too is performin g a varied improvisation of the highland
fling and the Virginia reel. The two
thusly whirl and throw themselves
about in a frenzy of exertion and delight .
Meanwhile the band is "cooking
with gas ." It is made up of a couple
of trumpets , two or three "saxes , "
several more instrumental pieces and
last but not least, a drummer and
"bow fiddler ." It is the task of these
latter two to keep the rest in time
while making as much noise as possible.
Perhaps it were well to describe
the drummer and fiddler , their tools,
and actions further. The drummer is
usually an erratic young man with
a singul arly wild gleam in his eye.
He has as means of beating various
percussion instruments , two sticks
and a small instrument similar to a
grass-rake. At a pre-arranged signal he throws himself into a frenzy ,
beating wildly upon drums, bells, the
piano or anything else handy . As
finale he gives a sque eze or two to a
horn , one of the type we use on our
bicycles.
Th e man on the fiddle , a big violinshaped barn , wi th enoromous ropes
for strings , has a most depressing
job. He merely stands rooted in one
spot , slapp ing at his instrument in a
smooth , regular beat. At widely
spaced in tervals , he is allowed to hit
wi th all his might , kick the bass a
couple of tim es and rim around it
doing a dance all his own. I don 't
thi nk I want to be a fiddler or a
dr ummer. The sp otlight shuns them
all too much.
If I were to be in the ba nd , I d
wa nt to be the trumpeter. There's a
man who gets all the glory . At a certain po int , he rises fro m his seat and
pul ls a "take-on"." H e be n ds his h ea d
for ward , sw ays , l eans over backward
and blows hi mself blue in the face.
While he is doing all this , the most
bra zenly rich sound comes from his
horn. It seems to have some hidden
power to move feet. Even before a
person realizes it , this wonderfull y
ha rmonious noise has his feet moving
around in "i ci rcles and j ump ing in
Li me. Yossir! I'd like to be u bugler.
By now everybody, the band incl u ded , is pre tty well winded. So a
short pause u¥ two or three seconds
is enjoy ed. Next , the orchestra moves
nlV in to n slow or dreamy wall. /, or a

SCHOOL UNDERGOES MANY
WAR AND PEAC E CHANGES
Students now teaching at the Benja min Franklin Trainin g School are
under a slightly different set-up than
in former years. Fourteen students
are taking their full six credit hours,
but seven are dividing their teaching
load to include only three hours.
Milk For Children

The Training School has undergone other changes besides those of
personnel and trainin g teachers. It
is cooperating with the War Food
Administration. This Administration wants all school children to receive one-half pint of milk per day
to guarantee good health. The government pays two cents toward each
pint purchased.
Scra p Drive
The children of the Training School
collect tin once a month for the scrap
drive. This drive is j ust a small part
of the nation-wide program .
This year each grade will plant
azaleas, yew, dogwood and arbor
vilae to commemorate Arbor Day.

WOMEN'S CHORUS WILL
PRESENT PROGRAM NOV. 19
The Women 's Chorus of 75 voices,
under the direction of Harriet M.
Moore , will make its initial performance of the year on Friday morning,
November 19, in chapel .
The Chorus will present "A Day
In Venice. " This is a cycle of four
love poems by Frederick H. Martens.
The music by Ethelbert Nevin has
been arranged for women 's chorus
work by Charles Gilbert Spross.

compar atively smooth fox trot. Now
the floor is crowded. Everybody and
his brother gets out with some enticingly enchanting (to him) Lillith.
We have now at various spots on the
floor Grandpa and Grandma Jones
attempting a smooth glide. Mr. and
Mrs. Doe stomping about in reminiscence of their youth. There's John
and Mary at the peak of their adolescence moving smoothly along.
And—Ye Gods! Don 't they get
enough. Two young ladies, unsatisfied to dance, as God in tended , are
bli thely setting "Beau t iful Dreamer "
to swing-time.
This assortment of dances goes on
nicely for some time until in the
middle of a blissf ul waltz (we don 't
j itterbu g) the drummer breaks
loose, the fiddler lets go, and the horn
"gi ves out." We stand for a moment ,
bewildered at this sudden maze of
sound. We admire others awhile and
then determinitel y grab a partner , let
out a shrill "Yipec " and start in.
Things don 't go too well , but we
manage, picking our feet up, throwing them around , and lettin g them
fall where they may . Of a sudden,
something leaves go somewhere , we
slide all oj ' ten foot , fall lo our derricr o and skid for another ten coming

caught unawares again.
Finall y at about one in the morning the band takes to tlve strain ol'
"Home Sweet Home!" Coats are
ga thered up, hats lost and found

fo rth from Vho hall. Squeals and yells
ol' goodnight are heard ns the couples
herd each other into the various
cars. The dance Is over until next
