CAMPUS CUSTOM REVIVED
Haven Hall sponsored the Bowery Brawl on Saturday evening,
March 23. In past years, the Brawl
was an annual affair, but since the
girls have been alone on the camp­
us, it was, of necessity, forgotten.
The Old Gym was made into
the bowery for an evening, and,
although those in attendance were
comparatively small in number,
everyone enjoyed himself, and the
Brawl was termed a success. Let’s
make it an annual custom again!

Clarence W. Sorensen, noted
geographer and Foreign Corres­
pondent will appear in assembly
April 12.
A “world of experience” belongs
to this outstanding speaker. Dur­
ing the past ten years his work
has taken him to more than thirtyfive countries, all around the globe.
As a geographer he has studied
the problems of lands and peoples
—boundries, communication, races,
food supplies ... As a writer and
foreign correspondent he has re­
ported to an audience of millions.
Mr. Sorensen first packed his
bags for Europe in 1934. He stay­
ed longer than he had expected.
In Germany he saw Hitler, and
some of the first preparations for
World War II.
The great “Arab World” was
next. He traveled widely in North
Africa and in the Near East . . .
Syria, Palestine, Transjordon, Ara­
bia, Iraq. After long expeditions in
the desert his exclusive photos
were published all around the
world. He was elected a Fellow of
the Royal Geographical Society of
London.
Mr. Sorensen enjoyed his field
work in India and Burma. He lik­
ed the hunting, too. Then he moved
on to the Far East. He saw Malaya,
Singapore, Java, the Philippines
and China before returning home.
He began his work in Latin
America as a foreign correspon­
dent for the Columbia Broadcast­
ing System.
When revolution threatened in
Mexico during the elections of
1940, Mr. Sorensen reported to
millions of network listeners on
the CBjS news program, “The
World Today.”
Since 1940, he has returned to
Latin America at least once each
year. In 1941, he visited nearly
every country in South America.
Always interested in more than
port cities and tourist resorts, he
traveled a thousand miles by river
steamer to the pioneer country of
Paraguay and southwestern Brazil.
On January 1, 1945, he was tramp­
ing across a sugar plantation near
Vera Cruz, Mexico.

Rec Room Repairs Underway
As most of you know the rec room is newly painted. Now
when the art students get to work and paint some of those delovely murals on the walls, it'll look like “home” again. We've heard
of a couple of fellows who decorated walls of some clubs over^
seas. Maybe their help could be enlisted in planning this phase
of the work.

It is reported also that new furniture is being purchased: so
... do your part in taking care of it.

Tut! Tut!
Spring is here. The campus is in bloom and all heaven is outof-doors. Seems as if we all like to sit on the steps with our roomies
and buddies — and that brings us to the point. Have you noticed
the cigarette butts on and around the steps of Haven Hall? They
really aren't in keeping with our beautiful campus, and they do
detract from it’s appearance. Yes, we know, where else is there
to put them? So — we'll see that some sort of a container is placed
by the steps for this purpose. Let's all remember that it's there,
ind USE it.

As you know, the boys, or
rather men, at Reeder all en­
joy a very quiet life. The single
men as well as the married are
very busy bringing up little
Johnny, who should prove to
be a brilliant chap or a quiz
kid if all the professors at Reed­
er have any influence on little
Johnny’s mind. Having just
learned to walk Johnny’s awk­
ward steps hold us spellbound
as he proceeds from one of us to
another, usually flopping on the
way. With only an astonished
look or a puckering lip he’s up
and at it again. Being GI’s we
love noise. It helps quiet our
nerves and makes us more at
home. One of the fellows hav­
ing this idea in mind thought
perhaps Johnny should be in­
troduced to the piano and his
music education was started.
Like a duck takes to water
Johnny took to that piano —
and How! Black keys and white
keys alike. Does he have fun
with music? Well, I’ll say he
does! If only Mr. Steckel could
see Johnny Alexander Siegel
now! There’s also a new fire­
man on first floor. Yes, Johnny
discovered the little metal ham­
mer hanging from the alarm.
This is really fun and, believe
me, he knows just what to hit
with it. It’s either the glass or
papa, or maybe it’s both all in
one stroke. A false alarm, a
burst of notes from the “Lost
Chord”, or Piano Concerto in
E b or the pitter patter of little
feet down the hall can only
mean one thing. Johnny is on
the loose again.
Yes, I believe all the fellows
agree we’re really enjoying our
extra curicula — nursery prob­
lems. It all goes toward a more
rounded education and it doen’t
cost a cent.

The ’47 season promises to be
both exciting and highly success­
ful since we will lose only one let­
terman through graduation, and
expect to find many new players
due to the increased enrollment
expected next fall. See picture on

fits lately. . . . initiation you know!
The boys have been no end offend­
ed when their girls couldn’t talk

Oh, to have been in Washington
with Twich and Janet! Hear they
had a swell time! . . . Who’s that
girl in Room 39 who talks in her
sleep? You can even ask her ques­
tions and she’ll answer! . . we’re
glad to see that the fire escapes
aren’t being used so frequently . .
Congratulations to the basketball
champs . . . By the way, what is
Wilma’s attraction at the high
school? It can’t be that plowed
field! ... If you haven’t heard
Pug sing “Heaven Will Protect the
Working Girl” you don’t know
what you’re missing. . . .
Why was Allen looking so des­
perately for a can opener? . . .
Mad artists and modern design

Off-Campus News
Here it is again — time for offcampus capers. To begin with, we
think it must be spring. Why? Because Wilma Jean is riding her
bicycle to class again. Why is
Jocelyn always waiting at the bus
station for the Erie bus? Could
someone tell us the attraction?!
And another thing — why is Edie
Bates so happy lately?!!
Paul Zarenko and Johnny Olsavsky are still commuting. They
are active in the Photography
Club, too. Other students com­
muting are Mrs. Finney and Mil­
lard Wetzel — plus Jim Bartoo
from Erie. Mary Artello is going
to commute from now on. We
think the Dairy Bar is losing one
of its steadiest customers.
Have you heard? Both June and
Mickey are taking piano lessons,
and Mickey insists that he’s going
to win . . . time will tell. Oh, yes,
congratulations, Mickey, on the
good work in the swimming meet,
and that included the better half,
too.
Marge Evans has an apartment
over at Snyder’s, and cooks her
own meals . . . surely she’d be in
a fix if she’d lose her can opener!

APRIL 3, 194g

We don’t hear very much about
“Howe House,” except that there
is to be an off-campus meetin
there Thursday night. Plans fo?
an Easter Picnic . . . Hmm!
It’s good to see the Hills family
together again .... we’re refer
ring to Aggie and George. Now
for those Perry House girls. Why
do they want Zack to take them to
Alliance? Who has been dipping
their wings over Perry House? The
residents know, but they won’t
tell! Also: Jeanne would be lost
without her Titusville visits and
HIS Edinboro and Corry visits
Hmm! And did you hear? Peggy
Fornoff is sporting a sparkler!
Who’s the lucky man? .... Bob
Skelton! ...
This is all . . . there ain’t no n
more ’cause it’s time to hustle off b
to class . . . you see, we have much
farther to go!
