Editorial
For the past several years I have
watched the E. S. T. C. basketball
team at home and on the road. I wish
now to speak of an incident that
has made a great impression on me.
For the majority of the games the
Edinboro student body lacks the fire
and sparkle so commonly character
program designed to acquaint
the
students with the cheers and songs.
istic of the other schools.
I realize, of course, that several of
the games finds the spectators in a
very bedlam of noise; these being
the Slippery Rock and Indiana games.
However I believe that more and bet
ter songs and cheers would add color
and spirit to every game. Perhaps
the fault lies in the fact that not
enough time is devoted to an assembly
Of one thing I am sure, that the
"outsider ” who comes to the games
will be more impressed by the college
atmosphere if the proper spirit is
shown. In the past there have been
many people who would have liked to
be present at a collegiate basketball
game and be a part of that “atmos
phere”, but we have failed to do so.
because of insufficant seating capacity
With our new facilities in use there is
no reason why we should not always
have a large audience of students and
towns people. Larger crowds would
result in higher gate receipts, which
would in turn benefit the student
body in several ways.
Delta Phi Delta
Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity
Last Saturday about 40 of Edin
boro’s art alumni and faculty met
for a luncheon at Webster Hall in
Pittsburgh. Mr. Bates acted as toast
master, and Dr. Van Houten gave a
short talk in which he extended an
invitation to all alumni to attend the
celebration of Edinboro’s 80th anni
versary next spring.
Each person
present said a word or two about
(himself, the year he graduated, and
his present occupation. The other
guests from Edinboro included Mrs.
Van Houten, Miss Ruttie, Miss Bar
on, Mr. Haller and Mr. Doucette.
After the luncheon the Delta Phi
Delta alumni members that were
present held a very importannt meet
ing, during which officers for the
coming year were elected. Margie
Martin gave a short resume of the
Delta Phi Delta coonvention which
she attended last June at Iowa State
University in Ames, Ohio.
After
the meeting adjourned, many of the
alumni and faculty went to see the
All-American exhibit, which was open
on Saturday for the last day.

On December 10, thirty-two of the

kitchen for a candy-making party,
which was a success in every way.
The purpose of the party was not
only to provide the girls with an hour

the more worthy cause of making

less to say the eight types of candy
were all delicious for each group was

Editorial
For the past several years I have
watched the E. S. T. C. basketball
team at home and on the road. I wish
now to speak of an incident that
has made a great impression on me.
For the majority of the games the
Edinboro student body lacks the fire
and sparkle so commonly character
program designed to acquaint
the
students with the cheers and songs.
istic of the other schools.
I realize, of course, that several of
the games finds the spectators in a
very bedlam of noise; these being
the Slippery Rock and Indiana games.
However I believe that more and bet
ter songs and cheers would add color
and spirit to every game. Perhaps
the fault lies in the fact that not
enough time is devoted to an assembly
Of one thing I am sure, that the
"outsider ” who comes to the games
will be more impressed by the college
atmosphere if the proper spirit is
shown. In the past there have been
many people who would have liked to
be present at a collegiate basketball
game and be a part of that “atmos
phere”, but we have failed to do so.
because of insufficant seating capacity
With our new facilities in use there is
no reason why we should not always
have a large audience of students and
towns people. Larger crowds would
result in higher gate receipts, which
would in turn benefit the student
body in several ways.

Last Saturday about 40 of Edin

for a luncheon at Webster Hall in
Pittsburgh. Mr. Bates acted as toast

short talk in which he extended an
invitation to all alumni to attend the
celebration of Edinboro’s 80th anni

Each person
present said a word or two about

his present occupation. The other
guests from Edinboro included Mrs.

After the luncheon the Delta Phi

she attended last June at Iowa State

the meeting adjourned, many of the
alumni and faculty went to see the

On December 10, thirty-two of the

The purpose of the party was not

Edinboro took the

DeSales, and the Red Raiders were

minutes of the game, when Casoli

Steve Crunic has Indian blood in

Poor Carmon, between radios and

You’d better be careful....It
