EDITORIAL
THIS MEANS YOU
I’d be one of the last to assert that people are innately bad,
yet I realize the necessity of laws and rules limiting the freedom
of individuals for the good of the group.
The train is a marvelous creation of man. It can transport
thousands of tons of freight and thousands of passengers across
the country in a matter of days—under one condition: that it
stay on the track. Every wheel of every car, without exception,
must stay on the track if the train is to perform its function.
Likewise, in the journey through life, of a family, of a community
of a nation, yes, even of a college, every individual, in order that
the group be able to perform its function, must be guided by
one condition—that he obey the laws and rules of the group of
which he is a member. He must stay on the track.
Not always, however, do these laws and rules meet with the
approval of every individual in the group. It then becomes the
duty of the disapproving individual to consider the rules from
the viewpoint of the good of the group. If he still disapproves
of the statutes, it is his privilege to attempt to effect a change,
by addressing the proper authority. This failing, the most sen
sible thing to do is to accept the laws and abide by them, or with
draw from the group.
and an air spray gun to be added
to the art department, but new
scientific and visual education
equipment has also been ordered.
Among the latter were new film
slide projector and shipping cases
for Yale motion picture reels.
Plans are in process for the en
tire repainting of Haven Hall, and
several new chiffoniers and new
chairs are ordered to be used in
the girls’ rooms.
It is intended that the old as
sembly room of Normal Hall will
be ready for use as a recitation
center by next fall. Class rooms
and study rooms will comprise it.
The showcases in the exhibit
room of the Art Department may
be replaced in the future when
shortage of materials and work
men is not so acute.
Negotiations with the highway
department are underway to gain
amisite sidewalks for use where
students have cut across the
campus in an effort to make good
the old slogan, ‘the shortest dis
tance between two points is a
straight line.”
Note: Do not forget the house
bill 568 which provides for a raise
in teachers salaries. This is of
importance to all students of teach
ers colleges and if it is passed at
all in the Senate, the action will
be taken before May 15.

Up to the campus every day,
Do in this column have our say.,
Hello all.
Dorothy Brown certainly did
her best to get an extension on
that Easter vacation. Few people
would think that a foot operation
is enough compensation for some
extra time off from classes.
The question of whether or not
a pair of roller skates are an ac
ceptable thing for a young man
to give to a young lady was al
most forgotten at the time when
Jean Mould went to hear Spitalny’s all girl orchestra. Listen in
next week to hear further news on
this great and important decision.
Eddie Bates’ curly locks show
their real worth since she is sport
ing that very becoming feather
cut. To think that some people
welcome rain.
With two sons to take care
of, Mrs. Kelly certainly is the
center of a m y s t e r y. She
still finds time to do all the
studying that is required of her.
Poor Phil. No wonder she looks
so weary and tired. She has been
trying to teach Jerry Clover the
red cross carrying holds in the
pool. That’s one way to earn a
good night’s rest.
In spite of what may be thought
by a few insignificant people, Rose
Pertl is not being high-hat or
stuck up. She is under doctors
orders to spare her voice. Without
our little song-bird the opera
would feel a great loss, so co
operate and don’t force her to say
even one word.
A bicycle is a very handy thing
to have around when you want to
get to classes in a hurry. Peggy
Fornof is one of the off-campus
.kids who can give to you all the
particulars an ddetails on this
subject.
Martha Bartoo certainly has her
hands full. After school she works
in the Red and White store, but
still she seems to have time not
only for fun but for her studying
and housework, too. As proof,
kindly take a look at the Dean’s
List. Another hard worker is He
len Boythe who gets her Biology
work done and is an able assistant
to. the Librarian. Carol Brown is
another; French is a difficult sub
ject, especially to those who are
^earning to read and understand
it.

hectic life. Three times each week
she attends college classes before

DELEGATES TO CONFAB
The Edinboro Y. W. C. A. sent
two delegates, Jane Patterson and
Yvonne Davis, to the Regional
Student Christian Movement Con
vention held at the Grove City
College Outing Club on March
24 and 25.
The main theme of the confer
ence, “Christ in My Back Yard,”
was divided into three sub-themes:
“Not in the Sky” and “Looking at
Me,” presented by Reverend Mr.
Lindstrom of the West Minister
College and “Pointing Over the
Fence”, presented by Miss Polly
Cuthbertson, the Regional Y. W.
C. A. Representative.
The Regional statement of pur
pose: “The Student Christian
Movement in the Middle Atlantic
Region is a fellowship of students
and faculty who, desiring to be
definitely, personally, and radical
ly Christian, are dedicated to: re
discovering and making their own,
and sharing the essentials of the
Christian faith; taking responsibi
lity for needed changes in com
munity life; making real the pos
sibilities inherent in the fact that
the human family is one.”
The conference was most bene

suggestions which will be included
in the future Y. W. C. A. pro

EDITORIAL
THIS MEANS YOU
I’d be one of the last to assert that people are innately bad,
yet I realize the necessity of laws and rules limiting the freedom
of individuals for the good of the group.
The train is a marvelous creation of man. It can transport
thousands of tons of freight and thousands of passengers across
the country in a matter of days—under one condition: that it
stay on the track. Every wheel of every car, without exception,
must stay on the track if the train is to perform its function.
Likewise, in the journey through life, of a family, of a community
of a nation, yes, even of a college, every individual, in order that
the group be able to perform its function, must be guided by
one condition—that he obey the laws and rules of the group of
which he is a member. He must stay on the track.
Not always, however, do these laws and rules meet with the
approval of every individual in the group. It then becomes the
duty of the disapproving individual to consider the rules from
the viewpoint of the good of the group. If he still disapproves
of the statutes, it is his privilege to attempt to effect a change,
by addressing the proper authority. This failing, the most sen
sible thing to do is to accept the laws and abide by them, or with
draw from the group.
and an air spray gun to be added
to the art department, but new
scientific and visual education
equipment has also been ordered.
Among the latter were new film
slide projector and shipping cases
for Yale motion picture reels.
Plans are in process for the en
tire repainting of Haven Hall, and
several new chiffoniers and new
chairs are ordered to be used in
the girls’ rooms.
It is intended that the old as
sembly room of Normal Hall will
be ready for use as a recitation
center by next fall. Class rooms
and study rooms will comprise it.
The showcases in the exhibit
room of the Art Department may
be replaced in the future when
shortage of materials and work
men is not so acute.
Negotiations with the highway
department are underway to gain
amisite sidewalks for use where
students have cut across the
campus in an effort to make good
the old slogan, ‘the shortest dis
tance between two points is a
straight line.”
Note: Do not forget the house
bill 568 which provides for a raise
in teachers salaries. This is of
importance to all students of teach
ers colleges and if it is passed at
all in the Senate, the action will
be taken before May 15.

Do in this column have our say.,
Hello all.
Dorothy Brown certainly did
her best to get an extension on
that Easter vacation. Few people
would think that a foot operation
is enough compensation for some
extra time off from classes.
The question of whether or not
a pair of roller skates are an ac
ceptable thing for a young man
to give to a young lady was al
most forgotten at the time when
Jean Mould went to hear Spitalny’s all girl orchestra. Listen in
next week to hear further news on
this great and important decision.
Eddie Bates’ curly locks show
their real worth since she is sport
ing that very becoming feather
cut. To think that some people
welcome rain.
With two sons to take care
of, Mrs. Kelly certainly is the
center of a m y s t e r y. She
still finds time to do all the
studying that is required of her.
Poor Phil. No wonder she looks
so weary and tired. She has been
trying to teach Jerry Clover the
red cross carrying holds in the
pool. That’s one way to earn a
good night’s rest.
In spite of what may be thought
by a few insignificant people, Rose
Pertl is not being high-hat or
stuck up. She is under doctors
orders to spare her voice. Without
our little song-bird the opera
would feel a great loss, so co
operate and don’t force her to say
even one word.
A bicycle is a very handy thing
to have around when you want to
get to classes in a hurry. Peggy
Fornof is one of the off-campus
.kids who can give to you all the
particulars an ddetails on this
subject.
Martha Bartoo certainly has her
hands full. After school she works
in the Red and White store, but
still she seems to have time not
only for fun but for her studying
and housework, too. As proof,
kindly take a look at the Dean’s
List. Another hard worker is He
len Boythe who gets her Biology
work done and is an able assistant
to. the Librarian. Carol Brown is
another; French is a difficult sub
ject, especially to those who are
^earning to read and understand
it.

and more students are signing up
for this particular sport.
Out of seventeen students that
had signed up for Life Saving,
seven have remained. The reason
the girls have not stayed is be
cause they felt they were not pre
pared for the advanced swimming
at the present time.

DELEGATES TO CONFAB
The Edinboro Y. W. C. A. sent
two delegates, Jane Patterson and
Yvonne Davis, to the Regional
Student Christian Movement Con
vention held at the Grove City
College Outing Club on March
24 and 25.
The main theme of the confer
ence, “Christ in My Back Yard,”
was divided into three sub-themes:
“Not in the Sky” and “Looking at
Me,” presented by Reverend Mr.
Lindstrom of the West Minister
College and “Pointing Over the
Fence”, presented by Miss Polly
Cuthbertson, the Regional Y. W.
C. A. Representative.
The Regional statement of pur
pose: “The Student Christian
Movement in the Middle Atlantic
Region is a fellowship of students
and faculty who, desiring to be
definitely, personally, and radical
ly Christian, are dedicated to: re
discovering and making their own,
and sharing the essentials of the
Christian faith; taking responsibi
lity for needed changes in com
munity life; making real the pos
sibilities inherent in the fact that
the human family is one.”
The conference was most bene
ficial, yielding several valuable
suggestions which will be included
in the future Y. W. C. A. pro
grams.
The choirs of the College i'
High School are hard at Wo^
these days in preparation for th I
presentation of the Opera “MaV^
tha” to be given in the Collet
Auditorium May 9 and 12 at
p
Much of the effectiveness of
such a performance depends uponJ-D
the stage settings. The Opera takesC H
place during the period of Queen'F
Ann at which time the architec-]La:
ture was centered about curves',th<
scrolls, and soft contours. The ’i ha
Theater Arts Class, under the di-Jinp
rection of Miss Dorothy SkinnerJph
is busily engaged in designing
and painting the scenery, which Th
in its entirety is created in jo#
whimsical manner, yet conform^
to that period.

The fair, with its ornate, little'jail
booths supplies the background °mi
for the farmers, the farmer’s0111
wives, and the gaily costumed ele‘
peasant maids.
om
The court ladies in their court;t3n
gowns complete the picture creat om
ed by the formal, yet fanciful setliza
ting of a garden with its founflei
jss
tain, statuary, hedges, and gardeij
ath
furniture.

The home of the heroes, com|rt,
fortably furnished, is enhanced by Y
decoratively draped doors ancj,)yc
furniture reminiscent of our;ea
colonial period.
