On March 22, the Phis and the
eltas met to swim their third
rimming meet of the year. The
inning of this meet was extreme; important to both teams be'luse it was to decide the win
ing team of the season.
The first event was a 60 yard
iedley, a neck to neck race to
ie very end, with the Phis coming
i just enough ahead to receive
ifst place.
[After this exciting race, both
lams showed some form swim
ming. First was the Inverted
’•east, Fornoff first, Henness
kond, and Jacobson third. Sec:d was the Elementary Backpke with Gillespie first, Small
icond, and Pushchak third. Last
I the form swimming was the
ide Over Arms; Henness coming
first, Jacobson second, and Aliight third.
Tor a little change in the usual
■utine, the teams battled a few
ices out. The Candle Race was
pn by Deltas; the Twenty yard
Me Crawl was taken by Houghin> second by Ager, and third
i? Jones.
For the closing event a very
pue obstacle racing was dis

inning team being the Deltas.
The score, sadly enough was an:aer tie—54-54, which just means

STUDENT OPINION
EDINBORO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, EDINBORO, PA.
A.F.C.W. Still Active
The Athletic Federation of Col
lege Women, of which Edinboro
is a member, is a national athletic
organization. This organization
helps the individual associations
interest college women in sports as
a part in the physical fitness of
the individual.
Edinboro is still proud of the
two E.S.T.C. girls who attended
the last A.F.C.W. meeting at
Wellesley College in 1942. They
were Margaret Catfish, of Union
City and Viola Mead Bartoo of
Edinboro, who were on the re
visory board in checking over
activities of other colleges. At
E.S.T.C. the activities proved to
be many and varied.
The program has not been cut
in any way in this accelerated
setup in Edinboro. This national
organization is most interesting to
every woman student on campus
because it compares her sports
activity life with big and small
colleges and universities.

Rochester, Minnesota — Miss

from Edinboro State Teacher’s
College in January with a B. S.

left her teaching career for one

awarded a three hundred dollar

ALPHA DELTAS DINE
The newly-initiated members of
the Alpha Delta Sorority served
a spaghetti dinner to their soro
rity sisters and patrons on March
19, 1945. The dinner was one of
the requirements for initiation,
and greatly enjoyed by all.
After the dinner, a short busi
ness meeting was held. The pre
sident, Joyce Ryder, announced
that the convocation would be
held on this campus on May 4% 5,
and 6. The program was discussed
and plans were made to enter
tain the delegates from the other
chapters.
On March 14, 1945, the students
and faculty of Edinboro State
Teachers College had the oppor
tunity of hearing Dr. Hill, Presi
dent of Cheney State Teachers
College, when he spoke to the as
sembly in the morning and to the
Sociology Class in the afternoon.
Dr. Hill’s appearance on our cam
pus was another stop in his lec
turing crusade against race pre
judices.
Future Education
In order to remove race pre
judices from a Democratic nation,
education of the mass in both the
Negro and White Races must be
the primary and principal tool
so as to balance socially and eco
nomically a pure Democratic so
ciety in a Democratic nation. To
day on the home front the heaviest
wheels of balance are resting on
the shoulders of the Negro for
he and his family are subordinated
by the whites, who, after having
brought the Negro to this coun
try, released him from slavery and
cast him aside, leaving him to
earn his own subsistence in a so
ciety which would not accept him
as a Child of God, or a worthy
human being with great poten
tialities.
Human Photograph
This war is the human photo
graph depicting the unphantomable worth of the Negro. He has
been given a chance to prove his
worth by fighting loyally in the
front lines all over the world.
In his army he has produced fine
privates as well as commendable
Chaplains and officers. His race
has also produced great scholars,
lawyers, doctors, ministers, ath
letes, dancers, actors, and ex
tremely fine musicians. It was the
negro who discovered the blood
bank; the negro has done all this
to prove his merit insuring that
his race as well as any other has
great potentialities. He wants
what every other human being
wants. He wants to bring his chil
dren into the world and educate
them; he wants to prove his worth
as a good, respectable citizen. Let
us, especially as teachers, not be
ones to stand in his way, but
give him a chance and help him
onward.
The Yale University, as a result
of the generosity of several Erie
firms including the Boston Store,

EDITORIAL
With the help and complete cooperation of all, anything
and anyone can be a success.
After an extensive vacation the Spectator has again made
its reappearance and with the right kind of backing will make
its appearance every two weeks. The college newspaper is the
one place where all true and sincere opinions can be published
—if, in airing them it will be of aid or amusement. Your plans
and activities, hopes and wishes, and messages appear on its
pages.
In spite of principles, a paper of any type will not be a suc
cess without the help of all those who read it. Since it is your
paper, your criticism and information will be welcomed.
The annual Easter meeting of
the Y W C.A. was held in the Mu
sic Hall, March 21, 1945. Appro
priate piano selections were pro
vided by Mary Herr. Richard An
dersen gave a very interesting
talk on “The Why Of It” The
main theme was the why of Chris
tianity in the world to-day. Quot
ing from the French Historian
Voltaire, Mr. Andersen stated:
“Faith in a God who rewards good
deeds and punishes bad ones is
the faith most useful to mankind.”
Mr. Anderson also read a selec
tion from the book “Jesus” by
Kahlil Gibran. This was an ac
count given by Barabbas who was
released instead of Christ by the
multitude.
A short business meeting fol
lowed at which time the an
nouncement of a conference to be
held on this campus was made.
This conference is the outcome of
a postponed national conference
which was to have been held at
Grand Rapids this April 14. Due
to transportation restrictions it
was decided by National Council
that each college was to hold a
conference on its own campus.
The suggested program for this
convention is segregated into three
groups Afternoon session 3:005:30, Supper 5:30-7:00, Evening
Session 7:15-9:30. During the
afternoon session there will be a
Message from Mrs. Henry A. In

Board of Y.W.C.A. This message
will be presented on record. In
the Evening session there will be
a message by Mrs. Calkins, Pre
sident of Y.W.C.A.’s of the United
States of America. Her message
will also be on record.

Miss Nettie M. Ruttie, health
education director, presented
sixty-seven achievement cards for
swimming during the assembly
program of March 21. She ex
plained the Red Cross method of
swimming instruction which this
college uses, and is also. used in
the Army and Navy as examples
of the fact that “mass swimming”
teaches a beginner “self-preserva
tion” without necessity of perfec
tion of strokes at once. Miss Rut
tie praised all of her student
instructors for their able work and
cooperation, especially Miss Nata
lie Jacobson, who has had three
years of lifesaving and who made
the highest grade in Erie and
Edinboro in the Red Cross life

On March 22, the Phis and the

rimming meet of the year. The
inning of this meet was extreme; important to both teams be'luse it was to decide the win
ing team of the season.
The first event was a 60 yard
iedley, a neck to neck race to
ie very end, with the Phis coming
i just enough ahead to receive
ifst place.
[After this exciting race, both
lams showed some form swim

icond, and Pushchak third. Last
I the form swimming was the
ide Over Arms; Henness coming
first, Jacobson second, and Aliight third.
Tor a little change in the usual
■utine, the teams battled a few
ices out. The Candle Race was

For the closing event a very

STUDENT OPINION
EDINBORO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, EDINBORO, PA.
A.F.C.W. Still Active
The Athletic Federation of Col
lege Women, of which Edinboro
is a member, is a national athletic
organization. This organization
helps the individual associations
interest college women in sports as
a part in the physical fitness of
the individual.
Edinboro is still proud of the
two E.S.T.C. girls who attended
the last A.F.C.W. meeting at
Wellesley College in 1942. They
were Margaret Catfish, of Union
City and Viola Mead Bartoo of
Edinboro, who were on the re
visory board in checking over
activities of other colleges. At
E.S.T.C. the activities proved to
be many and varied.
The program has not been cut
in any way in this accelerated
setup in Edinboro. This national
organization is most interesting to
every woman student on campus
because it compares her sports
activity life with big and small
colleges and universities.

ALPHA DELTAS DINE
The newly-initiated members of
the Alpha Delta Sorority served
a spaghetti dinner to their soro
rity sisters and patrons on March
19, 1945. The dinner was one of
the requirements for initiation,
and greatly enjoyed by all.
After the dinner, a short busi
ness meeting was held. The pre
sident, Joyce Ryder, announced
that the convocation would be
held on this campus on May 4% 5,
and 6. The program was discussed
and plans were made to enter
tain the delegates from the other
chapters.
On March 14, 1945, the students
and faculty of Edinboro State
Teachers College had the oppor
tunity of hearing Dr. Hill, Presi
dent of Cheney State Teachers
College, when he spoke to the as
sembly in the morning and to the
Sociology Class in the afternoon.
Dr. Hill’s appearance on our cam
pus was another stop in his lec
turing crusade against race pre
judices.
Future Education
In order to remove race pre
judices from a Democratic nation,
education of the mass in both the
Negro and White Races must be
the primary and principal tool
so as to balance socially and eco
nomically a pure Democratic so
ciety in a Democratic nation. To
day on the home front the heaviest
wheels of balance are resting on
the shoulders of the Negro for
he and his family are subordinated
by the whites, who, after having
brought the Negro to this coun
try, released him from slavery and
cast him aside, leaving him to
earn his own subsistence in a so
ciety which would not accept him
as a Child of God, or a worthy
human being with great poten
tialities.
Human Photograph
This war is the human photo
graph depicting the unphantomable worth of the Negro. He has
been given a chance to prove his
worth by fighting loyally in the
front lines all over the world.
In his army he has produced fine
privates as well as commendable
Chaplains and officers. His race
has also produced great scholars,
lawyers, doctors, ministers, ath
letes, dancers, actors, and ex
tremely fine musicians. It was the
negro who discovered the blood
bank; the negro has done all this
to prove his merit insuring that
his race as well as any other has
great potentialities. He wants
what every other human being
wants. He wants to bring his chil
dren into the world and educate
them; he wants to prove his worth
as a good, respectable citizen. Let
us, especially as teachers, not be
ones to stand in his way, but
give him a chance and help him
onward.
The Yale University, as a result
of the generosity of several Erie
firms including the Boston Store,

EDITORIAL
With the help and complete cooperation of all, anything
and anyone can be a success.
After an extensive vacation the Spectator has again made
its reappearance and with the right kind of backing will make
its appearance every two weeks. The college newspaper is the
one place where all true and sincere opinions can be published
—if, in airing them it will be of aid or amusement. Your plans
and activities, hopes and wishes, and messages appear on its
pages.
In spite of principles, a paper of any type will not be a suc
cess without the help of all those who read it. Since it is your
paper, your criticism and information will be welcomed.
The annual Easter meeting of
the Y W C.A. was held in the Mu
sic Hall, March 21, 1945. Appro
priate piano selections were pro
vided by Mary Herr. Richard An
dersen gave a very interesting
talk on “The Why Of It” The
main theme was the why of Chris
tianity in the world to-day. Quot
ing from the French Historian
Voltaire, Mr. Andersen stated:
“Faith in a God who rewards good
deeds and punishes bad ones is
the faith most useful to mankind.”
Mr. Anderson also read a selec
tion from the book “Jesus” by
Kahlil Gibran. This was an ac
count given by Barabbas who was
released instead of Christ by the
multitude.
A short business meeting fol
lowed at which time the an
nouncement of a conference to be
held on this campus was made.
This conference is the outcome of
a postponed national conference
which was to have been held at
Grand Rapids this April 14. Due
to transportation restrictions it
was decided by National Council
that each college was to hold a
conference on its own campus.
The suggested program for this
convention is segregated into three
groups Afternoon session 3:005:30, Supper 5:30-7:00, Evening
Session 7:15-9:30. During the
afternoon session there will be a

will be presented on record. In
the Evening session there will be
a message by Mrs. Calkins, Pre

will also be on record.

Edinboro State Teachers College
should have a part of this tree

however, been grafted on three

transferred to the campus proper.
THIS IS PROSE
Getting out a paper is no picnic.
If we print jokes, people say that we
are silly.
If we don’t, they say we are too
serious.
If we clip things from other papers
We are too lazy to write them
ourselves.
If we don’t print every
__ word of all
contributions,
don’t appreciate
genius.
If we do print them, the columns are
full of junk.
If we make a change in the other
fellow’s write-up. we are too critical.
If we don't, we are blamed for poor
editing.
Now, like as not, some guy will say
we swiped this from some other
sheet. WE DID.

Miss Nettie M. Ruttie, health
education director, presented
sixty-seven achievement cards for
swimming during the assembly
program of March 21. She ex
plained the Red Cross method of
swimming instruction which this
college uses, and is also. used in
the Army and Navy as examples
of the fact that “mass swimming”
teaches a beginner “self-preserva
tion” without necessity of perfec
tion of strokes at once. Miss Rut
tie praised all of her student
instructors for their able work and
cooperation, especially Miss Nata
lie Jacobson, who has had three
years of lifesaving and who made
the highest grade in Erie and
Edinboro in the Red Cross life
saving test given this year.
