gating that sportsmanship is charcter in its most gallant form, Pro­
fessor Ruth W. Bartlett spoke at
the annual Women’s Athletic Associ­
ation banquet on Monday evening,
jfay 13, in Haven Hall dining room,
on the subject “Intercollegiate Ver­
sus Intramural Sports”.
Toasting the friendly relations be­
tween Lake Erie and Edinboro, Mrs.
Bartlett said: “If all colleges had
the same fine spirit as Lake Erie and
Edinboro there would be no inter­
collegiate problem in sports in Amer­
ica.”
“Loyalty to the group.” said the
speaker, “is highly developed in team
sports. The value is not for self­
glory but for the group.
We in
America are developing group games.
That is typical of the democracy in
which we live.”

Voted the outstanding senior hock­
ey player, Sarah Kratz received the
senior hockey award. Virginia An­
drews received the senior basketball
award.
Awards were presented to Alice
Sewall and Sophia Oblinski for out­

James E. Luntzel
Speaks At Dinner
Of Kappa Delta Phi

,

With 82 on Wet Course

Kappa Delta Phi fraternity cele­
brated its second anniversary as a
national fraternity Wednesday, May
14, at a dinner banquet held in Hav­
en Hall Mr. James R. Luntzel, di°f publicity at radio station
KDKA and a nationally famous fig­
ure in the field of publicity, was the
guest speaker.
Mr. Luntzel spoke to the fraternity
about the importance of radio in ed­
ucation and the future of radio. Al­
though Mr. Luntzel got printer’s ink
in his blood when he was a kid, he
saw the vast importance of radio
work.
He has been the publicity
manager for such famous stage and
screen stars as Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson, Jane Withers and Eddy Duchin.
In the course of his combined radio
and publicity work, Mr. Luntzel
wrote an occasional script for the
“First Nigh ter” radio program when
Don Ameche was the star of that
show.

National Broadcasting Co. finally
took notice of his work and now the
“Pioneer Station KDKA” boasts him
as director of publicity. Beside his
work in radio, Mr. Luntzel is the
author of the daily Pittsburgh Post­
Gazette column, “KDKA Today”. It
is from this column of May 16, that
the following was copied:
“The late O. O. McIntyre was con­
sidered the nation’s No. 1 booster of
small towns, but as of today, they
have another praise purveyor—my­
self.
“Yesterday I had the pleasure of
visiting Edinboro State Teachers Col­
lege at Edinboro, Pa., (population
801).
“I went up as guest of the Kappa
Delta Phi fraternity to tell them
something about radio.
“The charm of this little town,
with Its clean, wholesome, sincere
friendliness, was captivating in con­
trast to the hurry, noise, and deter­
mined tempo of the city.
