Will Rose Leads Forum Noted Baritone Who
M r. Will Rose, o f Cambridge
Springs, recent candidate for Con
gress in the Crawford-Erie county
district, led our Forum discussion on
Friday morning, March 12.
Mr. Rose introduced the discussion:
“When you sell your services, are you
willing to sell your mind, are you
willing to sell your convictions, when
you sell your services? . . . College
students are approaching the time
when they are ready to sell their
thoughts to the world.”
He compared the chances of an am
bitious college student in the growing
small town with the chance he has in
gaining his start in the “large metro
politan center”, defending the op
portunities of the smalt town. In case
the graduate finds a position in a city
he is apt to lose his individuality in
the large organization which he find
there. Several references were made
in connection with the better oppor
tunities of a teacher.
At-the end of a brief introduction,
Mr. Rose sought the opinion of the
people present as to success either
in the city or in the small town. Most
of these people were small towners.
resulting in little sentiment express
ed in favor of the large city.
A new figure to most of the student
body, Mr. Rose left an impression of

EARL SPICER
BUILDING PROGRAM
“The building programs for the
State Teachers Colleges,” according
to Dr. Ross, “which are under the
General State Authority acts, are now
in the process of development at Har
risburg. It is hoped that in the next
few weeks a definite announcement
will be made as to what buildings will
be constructed at each of the State
Teachers Colleges.
“It is reasonably certain that Ed
inboro will be granted funds for the
construction of a training school and
a modern gymnasium. There will also
be funds for modernizing some of the
present buildings.”
On Wednesday evening, March 24,
Earl Spicer, baritone singer, will ap
pear as guest artist on the LectureEntertainment Program.
Mr. Spicer, who now holds a high
place among the singers of today, has
experienced a rapid rise. He spent
his boyhood on a farm in Acadia.
After college he set out from Europe
in search of a career. In spite of
numerous setbacks, he has achieved
his present position.
Praise has been accorded his splen
did voice by many noted personali
ties, including the conductors of the
Queens Hall Symphony Orchestra,
the London Symphony, and the Lond
on Choral Society. Following his ap
pearance in America, he began im
mediately to establish a reputation
here equal to that achieved in
Europe. He has appeared with the
Cincinnati, New York and Toronto
Symphony Orchestras, the Bach Can
tata Society of New York, Boston
Handel and Haydn Society, and the
Mendelssohn Choir Festival inToron
to. He has twice been engaged by
Albert Stoessel to sing at the Chau
tauqua Festival.
The radio audi
ences of both Britain and America
are familiar with his voice.
Mr. Spicer has been described as
being a skilful builder of programs
and possesses an enormous repertoire
of songs, oratorios, and operas. His
appearance here, which will conclude
the lecture-entertainment program
for the year, is being- looked forward
to as a fitting conclusion to a praise
worthy series.

these opinions is: “We don’t like the idea of being treated like child- i

From this it would seem
that students have firm ground to stand on in their opposition.
ABOUT ENFORCEMENT OF RULES
Bells are an important factor in the enforcement of the regulations.
The campus bell, which, besides marking the beginning and ending’
of classes, is the timetable for the evening program, is frequently
rung at the wrong time. Several boys and girls were scored the other
evening for dancing after the campus bell had rung, when in reality

fspotlight for the last three weeks.
Varsity members are Kruszka, Gher‘ ing, Gilbert, Korb, G. Glass, Samkowski, Holmes, Luke, Fuller, Dun

was a hectic affair in which our team
lost 22 to 45, but they are hoping to
even the score when Mercyhurst

Nearly every girl in school has been
active either as a player or spectator
at the tournaments. Phi-Delta bas

ciety having four teams. The scores
■ resulting from these games were:
Blue teams—Phi 13, Delt 7; Red—

games were: Fresh. 17—Soph. 26;
Fresh. 9—Jr. 12; Fresh. 24—Sr. 35;
Soph 28—Jr. 16; Soph 43—Sr. 37;

Raiders Finish Strong
(Continued from Page One)
In league competition, the record
shows that Edinboro broke even with
all opponents except California,
which, incidentally, was the only
team to defeat Edinboro twice. In
independent contests, the Raiders
broke even with Thiel, defeated the
.. alumni and Fredonia, and won both
1 games with the Ohio College of Chir
opody.
With John Wolfe topping the
scores with a total of 159 points, the
Raiders gathered collectively 580
points against their opponents’ even
500. Nick Volitich took second place
in the scoring race with 118 points.
Eddie Simon, stellar guard, is the
only man lost to the squad by gradua
tion, so next ’season will find nearly
the same combination on the floor for
Coach Harrison.

Will Rose Leads Forum Noted Baritone Who
M r. Will Rose, o f Cambridge
Springs, recent candidate for Con
gress in the Crawford-Erie county
district, led our Forum discussion on
Friday morning, March 12.
Mr. Rose introduced the discussion:
“When you sell your services, are you
willing to sell your mind, are you
willing to sell your convictions, when
you sell your services? . . . College
students are approaching the time
when they are ready to sell their
thoughts to the world.”
He compared the chances of an am
bitious college student in the growing
small town with the chance he has in
gaining his start in the “large metro
politan center”, defending the op
portunities of the smalt town. In case
the graduate finds a position in a city
he is apt to lose his individuality in
the large organization which he find
there. Several references were made
in connection with the better oppor
tunities of a teacher.
At-the end of a brief introduction,
Mr. Rose sought the opinion of the
people present as to success either
in the city or in the small town. Most
of these people were small towners.
resulting in little sentiment express
ed in favor of the large city.

EARL SPICER
BUILDING PROGRAM
“The building programs for the
State Teachers Colleges,” according
to Dr. Ross, “which are under the
General State Authority acts, are now
in the process of development at Har
risburg. It is hoped that in the next
few weeks a definite announcement
will be made as to what buildings will
be constructed at each of the State
Teachers Colleges.
“It is reasonably certain that Ed
inboro will be granted funds for the
construction of a training school and
a modern gymnasium. There will also
be funds for modernizing some of the
present buildings.”
On Wednesday evening, March 24,
Earl Spicer, baritone singer, will ap
pear as guest artist on the LectureEntertainment Program.
Mr. Spicer, who now holds a high
place among the singers of today, has
experienced a rapid rise. He spent
his boyhood on a farm in Acadia.
After college he set out from Europe
in search of a career. In spite of
numerous setbacks, he has achieved
his present position.
Praise has been accorded his splen
did voice by many noted personali
ties, including the conductors of the
Queens Hall Symphony Orchestra,
the London Symphony, and the Lond
on Choral Society. Following his ap
pearance in America, he began im
mediately to establish a reputation
here equal to that achieved in
Europe. He has appeared with the
Cincinnati, New York and Toronto
Symphony Orchestras, the Bach Can
tata Society of New York, Boston
Handel and Haydn Society, and the
Mendelssohn Choir Festival inToron
to. He has twice been engaged by
Albert Stoessel to sing at the Chau
tauqua Festival.
The radio audi
ences of both Britain and America
are familiar with his voice.
Mr. Spicer has been described as
being a skilful builder of programs
and possesses an enormous repertoire
of songs, oratorios, and operas. His
appearance here, which will conclude
the lecture-entertainment program
for the year, is being- looked forward
to as a fitting conclusion to a praise
worthy series.

From this it would seem
that students have firm ground to stand on in their opposition.
ABOUT ENFORCEMENT OF RULES
Bells are an important factor in the enforcement of the regulations.
The campus bell, which, besides marking the beginning and ending’
of classes, is the timetable for the evening program, is frequently
rung at the wrong time. Several boys and girls were scored the other
evening for dancing after the campus bell had rung, when in reality

W. A. A.
Haven Hall
Winter tournaments and varsity
basketball have held the W. A. A.
fspotlight for the last three weeks.
Varsity members are Kruszka, Gher‘ ing, Gilbert, Korb, G. Glass, Samkowski, Holmes, Luke, Fuller, Dun
can, and Thompson. The first game
of the season, played at Mercyhurst,
was a hectic affair in which our team
lost 22 to 45, but they are hoping to
even the score when Mercyhurst
conies here March 17. Our girls al; so met Thiel College on the Green■ ville floor last Saturday.
Nearly every girl in school has been
active either as a player or spectator
at the tournaments. Phi-Delta bas
ketball was the first event, each so
ciety having four teams. The scores
■ resulting from these games were:
Blue teams—Phi 13, Delt 7; Red—
. Phi 12, Delt 49; Gold—Phi 13, Delt
23; Grey—Phi 33, Delt 16. After
. these games teams were chosen for
interclass play. Results of these si.
games were: Fresh. 17—Soph. 26;
Fresh. 9—Jr. 12; Fresh. 24—Sr. 35;
Soph 28—Jr. 16; Soph 43—Sr. 37;
■Jr. 16—Sr. 17.
That activity group, the 3:15’ers,
| displayed their various skills more ind'vidually.

BOWERY BRAWL
By Elsie
We are all thinking — How can
nature be so cruel? Why, only yes
terday the sun was shining and robins
hopped about. Then, suddenly, the
spring-like weather fled and winter
came again.
Life is very uneventful; classes,
chats, complaining. The main prop
is the beautiful thought of Easter—
and vacation.
First floor is very unhospitable I
Their little rat visitor’s prized en
trances have been covered with tin.
And why does Marian Peterson go
home so very, very often?
“‘There is something about a uni-1
form” says H. Durlin.
Did you ever notice the interesting
and different handwriting of the
Havenites?
Congratulations to Lucille Turk on
her first teaching position ’ It must
bring a very secure feeling—within.
George Washington, the dashingyoung squirrel who visits side corri
dor of second floor (facing Normal
Hall) has a way with him—and does
he enjoy teasing for nuts.
Now, is the time when a student’s
fancy sadly turns to thoughts of
things .she hasn’t done. Now is the
time to question the wisdom of takng so many week-ends “off”.

Raiders Finish Strong
(Continued from Page One)
In league competition, the record
shows that Edinboro broke even with
all opponents except California,
which, incidentally, was the only
team to defeat Edinboro twice. In
independent contests, the Raiders
broke even with Thiel, defeated the
.. alumni and Fredonia, and won both
1 games with the Ohio College of Chir
opody.
With John Wolfe topping the
scores with a total of 159 points, the
Raiders gathered collectively 580
points against their opponents’ even
500. Nick Volitich took second place
in the scoring race with 118 points.
Eddie Simon, stellar guard, is the
only man lost to the squad by gradua
tion, so next ’season will find nearly
the same combination on the floor for
Coach Harrison.
