Tuesdav. October 14. 1941 Vol. 6. No. 1 Dr. Marts To Dedicate Kirby Hall LIBRARY'S NEW HOME BEACON As in every school the faculty changes with the years. New SPONSORS faces appear, old ones leave to take advantage of new opportunities, or retire trom active academic life. This year Bucknell has SONG been honored to add to its staff several new teachers to fill the vacancies left by those who have either married, resigned, or CONTEST FACULTY CHANGES reported for army duty. We wish to extend to them our sincerest welcome. Miss Klinedinst. last year's librarian wa.3 married during the summer and Miss Simpson has been appointed in her place. Mrs. Harper, who was French teacher in former years, is now in New York. and Mr. Disque, German instructor, is serv:ing Uncle Sam. The new Foreign Language professor is Mr. Schmalz. while Mr. Connelly is teaching English. Mr. Schuyler, chemistry teacher, has accepted a better position and replacing him is Dr. Morris. Miss Green is also a newcomer to the business staff, and Mrs. Brown has very obligingly consented to teach Dr. Brown's English classes. Miss Green and Miss Simpson will be interviewed in this issue and the other new professors in the following Beacons. Miss Mary Lofton Simpson, newly appointed librarian of the Junior College, is a native of Greenville, South Carolina. The daughter of a Baptist minister, Miss Simpson possesses the charm and winsomeness which is so indicative of Southern womanhood. Miss Simpson graduated from Greenville High School and received her A. B. degree at Furnam University, Greenville. She obtained her B. S. degree in Library Science at the Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia. After some time at the Furnam University Library, Mis, Simpson accepted a position in the New York Public Library, but comes here directly from the Reference Library of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City. Miss Simpson believes she is a "most uni11Jteresting soul," but everyone who meets her believes that quite the opposite is true. When she was asked what she most enjoyed, Miss Simpson stated that she was fond of classical music, but "the theatre was the love of her life." At last the time has come when all the future Irving Berlins or George Gershwins of Bucknell University Junior College have the golden opportunity of dis playing their talent. A new college song, one with pep and spirit, would benefit the school to no small degree. A prospective successor to · :the Hut Sut song or some sentimental ditty will not be considered. This does not mean that the song has to be slow and smooth, but it can have a great deal of spirit and at the same time express our sentiments. The judges, Mrs. Eugene Farley, Prof. Gies. and Mr. Charles Henderson, will supply the origi'nal melody . To the student submitting the best lyric, a prize of five dollars will be awarded. However, if a Bucknellian is capable of writing the melody pln'" the lyric, the i:i"rize wilf he bled. This is an opportunity for every stude11Jt to at least try to contribute something which will be of lasting value to our school. Entries may be given to any member of ,the Beacon staff and results will be announced in the near future. So, come one and all, hum the tune and chant the words- you can do it, so why noc try now? After being away from home for two years, Miss Simpson is happily anticipating a trip home during the Christmas holidays. One of our faculty addition, this year is Miss Green, a tall, attractive Texan whose birthplace in the' lone-star state is Cameron. -She · received her B : k. and M. A. degrees at the University of Texas in Austin, for a year did graduate work at Columbia University, and is now working for her doctor's degree. She belongs to three honorary fraternities: Delta Kappa Gamma, Pi Lambda Thete, and Delta Pi Epsilon. Her previous positions have been in El Paso, Tex., as head of the Commercial Department, and at N. Y. U., where she 1taught with a fellowship. After teaching in a school with a 47,000 student enrollment she likes the change of working in a small school where the personal element plays a definite part. She has expressed a preference for our local scenery and also her deep love for the theatre, her Dan Ormanowski, a Sophomore favorite aC'tors being Helen Hayes of Bucknell Junior College, was and Maurice Evans. recently honored with the Phil• lips' Prize.

It will consist of a series of rooms, each dedicated to the books of a separate subject. Opportunity for individual study, which is always important, will be possible at the small, round, Colonial tables for four. Between tthe second and third floors is located the very attractive Music- lioorrc with its fire =place and leaded-glass windows. Here will be placed the Carnegie Music Library and a recording apparatus which may be used at any time by any student after consulting the librarian, who will have full charge. I:t is hoped that a concert grand piano may be obtained for this room in the future. The third floor has been 1 dou- , FARRELL PRESIDENT vast knowledge and understanding. He was working on an article covering various phases of the Shakespearean period whea he was so suddenly taken by death. An editorial in the WilkesBarre Record on October first expresses the sentiments of all who knew him. "His death must be counted a loss not only to Bucknell and the community, but also to the fields of education and authorship where he was laboring so successfully." The Sophomore class held its annual class elections on October 7, following assembly. At this time Joseph Farrell was elected president; Jeannette Jones, vicepresident; Mary Pohola, secretary-treasurer; and Joseph Higgins and Rita Seitchek, student council representatives. These elections are usually held at the end of the Freshman year so that a student council may be formed and all necessary program plans made before the converted into an apartment to be used by Dr. and Mrs. Morris. It is anticipated that the Kirby garage will be used for aviaition classes and the space between the Chase theatre and the Kirby garage will be converted by the replanting of hedges, into an openair ampitheatre. The acceptance, remodeling, ana ehdow-ing of this vaiuabie addition to our college was made possible by the generosity of our trustees and friends. All our thanks go to them and to Mr. Allan Kirby who presented his home. Upon its completion in the near future, it will be dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Kirby by Dr. Marts, the President of Bucknell University. - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - -- - SORORITY ORMANOWSKI ELECTS WINS MATHS TENTATIVE PRIZE PRESIDENT Dr. David Brown A Word of On the morning of September Thanks 29, we were all very shocked to learn of the sudden death of Dr. David Brown. Professor Brown commanded the respect and devotion of us all. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, attended Harvard University, and in 1925 was graduated from Williams University. In 1933 he received his Ph.D. at Yale and was a member of the faculty at both Yale and William3 before coming to Bucknell. He was justly regarded as an expert in the field of English Uterature and in recent years published several articles on that subject. His most recent article was printed in the "Bucknell University Studies" of January, 1941, which publishes "the results of research or scholarly work of any kind by members of the faculty of Bucknell University Junior College." This particular al'!ticle, entitled "What Shakespeare Learned at School," shows very clearly Dr. Brown's Bucknell Junior College extends its campus to a neighboring home, the former Kirby residence. This spacious building has come to Bucknell through the generosity of Mr. Allan P. Kirby, who was one of Wilkes-Barre's foremost citizens. The extremely wide entrance hall with carved winding staircase and grandfather's clock has hardwood paneling and scarlet-brocade covered walls. To the right is found a reception room with marble fireplace and scenic walls of a gray and white decor. Directly behind this comparatively small room is the Social Studies Seminar, which will fulfill the age-old desires of Dr. Crook and Dr. Gage. A social studies classroom and the new Bucknell Beacon office on the right. and on the left. the green, persian-carpeted drawing room, which will be used for art exhibits by the Wyoming Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences, complete the first floor. There is a possibility, if the students so agree, that weekly or semi-monthly evening dances will be held on this floor. When last year's school term neared its end, the present Sophomore girls of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority met and elecited officers for the coming year. However, since some of those officers did not return to the Junior College this year, it will be necessary to hold another election. Mary Pohola, vice-president, with the aid of Miss Sanguiliano arranged and carried out all Freshmen teas. Miss Pohola has since been elected temporary Presiden1t and will act as sucn until officers are elected in the future. These officers will plan and carry out, with the aid of committees consisting of Freshmen and Sophomores, all tea'> and tea dances and any other affairs in which the girls take part. Freshman class enters. However, since the Sophomore class has so wisely chosen its officers this year, the extra-curricular activities are expected to be underway immediately. Everyone is looking forward to the most delightful year ever experienced at Bucknell. Hot Dogs and Moonlight Prehistoric man had his get,together around the tribal campfire, and who are we Bucknell ians to argue with an institution as old as that? Right, we couldn't and on October fourth the Sophomore and Freshman classes proved their adherence to the customs of antiquHy by attending a highly successful and enjoyable wienie roast held at the Lance home at Chase. We left Conyngham Hall and after many slight setbacki., such as following the wrong car and ending up in a blind alley, we arrived safely at Chase. There, amid the cheers and exhortations of many friendly voices, someone's decrepit Ford wheezed Ito a safe standstill on Duffy's hill. The moon's haze threw a slight gray light over the lake, but when the fires were started under one Freshman's ardent blowing, we all took on a ruddy glow. Of course, the head on the birch beer helped. We recall a certain Freshman's saying "Firelight is so flattering." Perhaps she knew more than she was telling, but on the whole her observation was highly charming and apropos. The typical college outing wa'> at its peak and in full swing as Mr. Schmalz rushed at a young sapling and with bared fangs (Continued on page 3) �BUCKNELL BEACON Page Two EDITORIALS THE BUCKNELL BEACON Vol. 6, Wilkes-Barre, Pa ..

The clutter of gun3, the wailing of air raid sirens, all the inferno of a shooting-war-they are the background-music to this poem of hate, brming a3 terrible and TRIBUTE TO DR. BROWN At our first assembly, Rabhi Wolk paid the following tribut2 to Dr. Brown: "As a trustee of the Junicr College and as an acq u aintance of Professor David Brown, I share deeply the loss which we have all sustained in his passing. I have had a number of contact5 with him, as an associate of his in Phi Beta Kappa, as an inter ested member of this institution, and in other capacities. "Dr. Brown had the Junior College at heart. He wanted to see it grow in usefulness and real effectiveness. He visioned for it the fin est standards. And because of his own superior training and equipment, he wa _ oualified fo vision for it the best standards. The Junior College has lost a vital and valuable asset. We shall miss him!" RABBI WOLK AT ASSEMBLY machine-crazy a drama as even the wildest nightmare3 of Jule.;; To Rabbi Wolk the function of Verne could not have imagined.

In today's conflict, there are but two sides. Each one--regards itself as being good and condemns the other as the force of evil . 1 There can be no in-between, and there must be no procrastinating indecision in our minds in recognizing that fact. All over Europe, millions and millions of men are suffering under the most destructive war of all time3, but that is not all. '!'heir material. physical suffering is intensified by their spiritual captivity, for no longer may they hear both sides of a question, and, b y the appliance of reason, arrive at a just conclusion. The guns of the oppressor, the bullets of court-martial mark the way tney have to take. Once, al a time which seems to be immeasurably long ago, though the calendar tells of three years only, these people, who now kneel under a government not their own, were free . They had their own government, parliament. chambers of commerce, univer3ities and teachers, newspapers, and moving picturesD;OW all that is an underground shadow, secretly remembered cind bemoaned. Then, as now, the flattering viper of hatred was out for her victim, but nobody took the trouble to fight it because they thought that it was a concern of their neighbors only. They did not want to think, to reason, to weigh the facts, they waited for the other player to deal the cards-and now they are wondering why they lost. Today they regret their mistakes. Before us, today, there is the same challenge. Under the guise of intolerance, class struggle, and a thousand other devices and isms, this hostile force is on the march again, reaching for its most splendid goal. And yet. we can overpower this "wave of the past" by reasoning, by finding out where we stand and why. T~ere are many among us who are still wavering in their inder~fon. Thisis the time to choose-and intelligent reasoning will help us make the rightcehoice. A Great Loss •..

PSYCH. PROF. REVEALS PERSONALITY Students at assembly were pleasantly surprised last Tuesday when they learned that Dr. J oseph Miller was to be guest speaker . Professor Miller chose for his topic-personalHy, which he de fined as the sum total of all ou, habits and attitudes acquired from childhood. "Can we change our personality?" The answer to this question was "yes"-provided we know what we are and who we are. Citing the amusing examples of ,Jimmy Durante and Girard, Dr. Miller illustrnted how one can capitalize to some extent on personality. In closing, our guest speake~ gave us a verbal bird's eye view of America-apple pie, Hedy LaMarr, ice cream sodas, Brooklyn Dodgers, and the R. F. C. His appropriate concluding remark, "behind all, there is an idea-the desire to know-to fight for freedom of thinking" expressed the basic element of American thought and action.

The customs weren't, t::J say the least, flattering. Never theless, despite our wrath when you started to violate rules, we gave a sigh of relief. You have blossomed forth into a pret,ty nice bunch of students, and we look forward to big things fo r B. U. J. C. with you to carry on . BU.JC The concensus is in favor of an infirmary to house all the pneumonia victims of last week's picnic. Maybe Mr. Schmalz, who got the worst of it, will endow it for us. BUJC Maybe Dan Wilcox and Don Ayres did have a good r eason for swioing Duffy's firebell. It might make a good alarm clock for Sunday mornings. BUJC Miss Simpson informed us that she is a "most uninteresting person." We disagree, but form your own conclusions. Line forms on the right, boys! BUJC Joe Farrell's pretty gullibleWhere did 1that mermaid disappear to, Joe? BUJC If tha t little partnership of hecklers, Reichlin and Seitchek, doesn't dissolve soon, they can expect a boomerang, and we won't be r esponsible! BUJC Found in Mr. Schmalz' soooo scholarly libraryIdentify Dido. Dido means the same and is usually represented by Dido marks. BUJC Altman wasn't far from wrong when h e unintentionally?? asked Louis' better half, Miss Lois Schappert, to step up to the mike with him at the picnic. BUJC We think the management ought to know about the business brains of Waters and Hoyniak, Inc. Maybe it was their little system o{ one hamburg for two that made the cafeteria start using checks. BUJC Jim Convery is now known as Mr. Birch Beer, or w eren' t yoc1 there Saturday night? BUJC Mystery of the month-What happened to the recording machine in the Boys' Lounge? Any information as to the prospects of a substitute will be duly appreciated. H ere's hoping, girlJ and boys! BUJC Well, Dr. Miller's back in the swing of •things again, or maybe somebody hadn't paid at th ~ beginning of last year, either. BUJC Mr. Schmalz must be psychic, or does June Owens just look as if de la biere is her secret passion? BUJC Maybe Darwin's Theory of Evolution is on the level, but Dr. Crook doesn't agree that w e're descended from the ape. If you saw somebody's imitation of his imitation of the "Individual Monk", you'd be more apt to swing toward Darwin. BUJC F ew Frosh will forget the fiasco of the expedition to Public Square. M aybe the man who handed Al Foster the quarter •thought he n eeded a square m eal. BUJC Lost - Anyone knowing th 2 whereabouts of that age-old institution, Student Council, please report to the new member, Yehudi. Reward-a Freshman Frolic! BUJC We pity the poor birds of Chase Hall premises- looks as if they'll ,.f arve without the combined forces of Altman, Davis, and Weiss to do the Bread-crumb Ballet. BUJC Those boys on the River Common aren't kneeling to pray ; they'r e dealing to play! BUJC The boys certainly see m enthusiastic about archery. Maybe they were just aching for a chance to pull the strings. In these times, they'd better practice on a rifle range. BUJC Some kind Freshman contributed the following. Anything w e said would be held against us, so we let him do it. BUJC No this isn' t a column of vox pop-This un e is Gedica:t:~d ~ our dear Sophomores. My what clever souls they are! - "Fre shman, scramble like an egg." Such wise orders they can dish out, but it takes a FRESHMAN to complete them. BUJC "Cut your corners" . Waters was one of the merry Sophs who never tired. Could it be that she gets sooo much sleep? BUJC Professor Morris Altman rendered some beautiful ideas for the initiations. We call him "professor", because he warrants the cup "Pr ofessor of American Illiteracy." BUJC Sure we're good sports. But among our ranks we have a .cer tain young lady who doesn' t meddle with anyone-not even with Price. Could her initials be M. F.? BUJC The ;three stooges, Albert, Williams, Gallagher, certainly fooled these fool Sophs. At least so they hope. (Gulp). BUJC Jim Convery got a big kick out of our difficulties-Would he look nice with a bucket, apron, a broom, and a few signs draped around his big, broad ears . . HA (the feath er, Jason, please).

This may sound absurd, but ex plana:tions will reveal that on the first morn of spring, one of our fellow Bucknellians, Joseph Farrell first saw light. From his early years Joe has proved to be an all around fellow and an idea1 student. This year greets Joe as the President of the Sophomore Class, and the class is both fortunate and proud in securing him as their leader and guide. While at Bucknell, Joe has attained ::i worthy name in his studies as well as in the extra-curricuhr activities. Besides his presidency of the class, he is Vice-President of the Lettermen's Club, businEss manager of the Bucknell Beacon, and a member of the swimming team. Meyers High School, Joe's alma mater, was equally as fortunat e as Bucknell. If you were to look back to his high school career, you would find that Joe was in great demand. He served as the vice-president of his class, and participated in many activities including the Honor Society, Meyhidran, Science, Swimming, and Glee Clubs. Joe is a versatile young man but upon probing info his interests, we find swimming is hi.s foremost hobby. Dancing also The Freshmen and Sophomores attended their first tea dance on Friday, October 10 at 4 o'clock. For the first time there was a boys' committee as well as a girls'. Cider and doughnuts were served and judging from the num ber and enthusiasm of those wh'J attended, the dance was a huge success. Although the ping pong table was r emoved and the pool table placed in the rear, the room was much too crowded. It · is hoped tha:t in the future a larger place in which to hold our t ea dances might be available. The girls have planned to hold a tea dance each month and we hop e that these dances will play a prominent part in this year's social activities. Mary Pohola and Joseph Farrell were chairmen of the committee which included Phylli'> · Eichler, Jeannette Jones, Mary Hutchko, Ruth L. Williams, James Pearn, Stanley Hozempa. and Edward Nattras. ranks high with Joe and with a personality like his, we can read ily see why he is popular. Joe is enrolled as a Pre-Law student and has high hopes of becoming a lawyer. He is giving a good d emonstration of what he can do, and so in your career as a lawyer, here's wishing you, Joe, the best of success. One of the most interesting personaltties in B. U. J. C. is this year's President of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority. Imagine someone t:ill, dark, and rosy-cheeked with a host of fri ends, and there you will have the tent:1tive president, Mary Pohola. In the line of accomplishing things, and well at that, without any apparent effort, Mary is unique. Besides being an excellent student and president of the sorority, she has recently been elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Sophomore class. Extremely prominent in ex,tra-curricuhr activities, she has shown h er histrionic ability by her keen interest and work in dramatics, especially evidenced by her role in last year's m elo-drama, the "Farmer's Daughter". Her literary accomplishments have won her a notable position on the editorial staff of the -Beacon, and her musical tendencies were exercised in last year's Glee Club.

No. 2 - - - - Wilkes-Barre, Pa.~ Tuesday, November 11, 1941 Thanksgiving Semi-Formal Dated For November 20 FACULTY CHANGES Do you have .trouble as a mixer? Well, your solution would be to see that congenial professor, Dr. Morris. He would be sure to relieve you of your worries, for he has had numerous interesting experiences. Dr. Morris was born in German town, a suburb of Philadelphia. Then he moved to Highland Park and New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he completed his grade and high school education. His inclination toward chemistry began when he was quite young --only twelve years old. He entered Rutgers University to study pre-law, but at the end of his Freshman year he changed his course to Chemistry. Later he transferred to Princeton University where he received his noteworthy title of Doctor. On June 23, 1940, Dr. Morris experienced the happiest day of his life. Three years before, he had met a beautiful, charming young lady at Uniontown and entered into the matrimonial ceremony on the aforesaid date. Incidentally, the young lady is also a very intellectual pedag_o_gue. She attended Cornell University and received her Bachelor and Master's Degree. At present, Mrs. Morris is teaching in the University of Connecticut-but only until February. So you see, the secret of Dr. Morris' smiling countenance is easily discovered if you have had the opportunity to meet this fair young lady. From early life, Dr. Morris has dembnstrated his unusual executive ability. He served as president of the Christian Youth Council of North · America, exVice Chairman of the American Youth Congress, and second Vice President of Northern Baptist Convention held last year. His membership in scholarly organizations also proves that he deserves his degree as Doctor, for he is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi honorary societies. He is also one of the chemists of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Morris attended the World Conference of Christian Youth at Amsterdam in 1939. While in Holland he became friendly with several Dutch people. He has also jorneyed to the West Coast twice since his marriage. Incidentally, Dr. Morris very narrowly escaped the war, as he returned from Europe two weeks before its outbreak. You may also be interested in the two kittens belonging to the Morrises', so for your information, the gray one is "Dido" and the black, "Sheba." When asked about his opinion of Bucknell, Dr. Morris replied he was slow in forming opinions. However, he does like the idea of a smaller college since it is so much more personal. He is interested not only in helping you with Chemistry but also in working out your many problems. The position in the Department of English, left vacant through the sudden death of Dr. David Brown, has been offered by the College Administration to his wife, Dr. Virginia Brown, and has been most courageously undertaken by her. Virginia Leussler Brown received her early education in the Omaha High School and is a graduate of Wellesley College, Class of 1924. She took her M. A. in English at the University of Chicago in 1927. For the two following years she taught in the Ward Belmont Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. During the period 1929-32 she pursued postgraduate work at Yale University, holding the Horton-Hallowell Graduate Fellowship from Wellesley during her final yer,r at Yale. She received her Yale Ph.D. in English in l!IB4, with her doctoral thesis on "The Influence of La Rochefoucauld in England during the Eighteenth Century." She married Dr. David Brown in 1932. Dr. Virginia Brown is carrying her husband's courses, including the very interesting experimental course which was inaugurated by him just before his death. This evening extension class, "The Roots of Modern Civilization," is a joint project of the Junior College Departments of History, English and Sociology. The course spotlights certain leading thinkers of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries in Literature and Science (Mill, Carlyle, Dickens, Ruskin, Darwin, Spencer among others) and the three instructors, through lectures and panel discussions, attempt to create a synthesis that is not so easily possible in the separate courses of the three Departments. In the past month Dr. Brown made an outstanding contribution to this experimental course in h er lectures on Carlyle and Dickens. It is seldom, indeed, that a college is privileged to find man and wife with the same deep interest and competence in a common field. ~fajor Production To Be Cast For the past week, Miss Sangiuliano has been holding tryouts for this year's first major production, which will be a mystery play. As yet no definite date has been set for the performance b11t it will be some time in December. Each major production is a full length play presented usually twice a year. An attempt is made to vary the type of play so that it will make a wide appeal to the students and public in general. Make Your Dates for the Thanksgiving Dance! Mr. Schmaltz We feel that it is our duty an:1 also pleasure to be able to acquaint those poor unfortunates who are deprived of his friendship with the valuable addition to our facul-t-y, -M r. Guenter Schmalz. Mr. Schmalz, who has taken the post of instructor of French and German, possesses a tremendous store of knowledge, but his interests are by no means confined to scholarly , attainments. For evidence, ,;_,e . give you his book , of "Classroom Boners", which incidentally, has rescued the B~acon Staff from innumerable trying moments. At present, he feels slightly lost without his post at the tree listening to tl~e girls shriek, "I hit the target!" Nevertheless, he seems to be satisfied with his rapidly increasing music collection, which will quite possibly provide competition for the Music Library. Mr. Schmalz's life has been spent otherwise in concentrated study, which, you will agree, has not gone for naught. A native of Zewitz, Germany, h e received his early education in a neighboring village. At the age of nine, he transferred to the secondary level in the high school at Stettin. In 1926 he came with his family to this country and settled in Bloomington, Illinois. The year 1931 marks an important point in his life, for it was then that he became an American citizen. After his graduation, he entered Illinois State Normal University and was a member of Kappa Phi Kappa, Pi Gamma Mu, and Delta Phi Alpha. He majored in the Social Sciences and minored in French and German. Following his graduation in 1935, he accepted a position as instructor of German in the University of Kentucky, where he also did graduate work. In 1937 he returned to the University of Illinois as assistant professor of German, and earned his Master's degree there. A year later, he went to Germany as an American exchange student and studied in Muenster and Munich. Three weeks before he originally planned, he sailed on the la~t boat to leave Hamburg. Upon his return (Continued on page 3) lsTUDENT COUNCIL MEETS Several weeks ago, this year's Student Council held its election. The officers chosen were Joseph Farrell, president, and Stefana Hoyniak, secretary-treasurer. Many students wonder how student council members arc chosen. Members of this organization consist of the presidents of all active social groups, the presidents of both the Sophomore and Freshman classes, and the class representatives. This year's Student Council members are Joseph Farrell, Sophomore class president; Rita Seitchek, Stefana Hoyniak, Joseph Higgins, and Pete Seras, class representatives; Milton Edelman, president of the Thespians; June Owens, president of the Glee Club; Mary Pohala, president of Beta Gamma Chi Sorority; Sallyanne Frank, Elizabeth Lance, and Alfred Eisenpreis, co-editors of the Beacon Staff. Freshman elections have not been held as yet and so it is impossible to relate the rest of the members. Meetings are held three times a month, two of which are attended by only Student Council representatives and the other by faculty and students. Questions and problems are brought up and settled at these meetings. A round table discussion is the method used in solving them. Important topics of debate are the students' apportionment of funds to various activities, mixed lounge, Fri• day night dances, and other so cial events. It is the opinion of both students and faculty that if social activities are planned for the school, all students should participate in them. The Friday night dances which are to be held semi-monthly at Kirby Hall are planned to give the Bucknell students a desirable place in which to spend an entertaining evening. It is also believed that these dances will cement friendship3 and provide for larger attendance at the year's more important dances. (Continued on page 3) DANCE COMMITTEES CHOSEN With much interest and enthusiasm the students of Bucknell University Junior College are eagerly making plans for the traditional Thanksgiving SemiFormal dance to be held Thurs day evening, Nov. 20. Dancing will be from 8:30-11 :30 at Kirby Hall. The orchestra has not as yet been selected. Miss Rita Seitchek and Mr. Milton Edelman have been chose:i. as co-chairmen of rthe affair.

The reddish-colored leaves are falling and a bitter cold wind is sweeping away the remnants of the beauty that was summer. The melancholic decadence, the multicolored expressionism, a!l those minute shades that compose the autumnal scene, unite in creating a soft polychrome background for the date in the center of our thoughts: Armistice Day. Twenty-three years ago, the infernal concerto had ended with an abrupt fortissimo. The machine-guns and cannons had barked their last shots, the shrapnels and gas-bombs had finished their killing mission. There was "Nothing new on the W estem Front." In the beautiful Louis Quatorze of Mirrors and at St. Germainen-Laye, at Trianon, at Neully and Sevres, treaties were signed: at Lausanne and Paris and Weimar resounding speeches were made, and for all of Europe there were proclaimed the grec:, ideals of "Egalite', Liberte' et Fraternite'." But the old machin° of power politics had not yet gone to rust on that junkyard of oblivion which it had deserved for a century-on the contrary, it worked as busily as never before. The wheels of fraud, de ception, intrigue, secret diplomacy turned faster than ever to destroy that new status. They employed, among other unsavory weapons, a new group of poisons: pseudo-equality, super-nctionalism, neo-heathenism, and-they almost succeeded. We are very sure the apparent success of these unholy forces of the dark is temporary and a temporary one alone. We are very sure that, in this cosmic struggle, the better instincts tha! are in man, will victoriously emerge. We are very sure that there will be, at the end of this war, a world fit for man to live in. When speaking of these "days after this war," one sometime~ meets with a response that is apathetic desperation, a response that says, "I don't know whether this war will ever end and if it does, whether I shall be alive and even if I am, what difference does it make"? In that difference lies the fate of our world. The choice is be tween a "To Be" that is built upon justice, honesty and decency and a "Not To Be" resting upon criminal injustice, suppression, and terror rule. They tell us that "You and I, as individuals, are too weak to ever think of opposing a powerful political machine and that hopeful (??) apathy is the best solution." But this is not the spiri: of the men who, in 1776, fought and succeeded against a king, an empire, half the world! Defeatism, appeasement is not the spirit of America! The wind is still blowing hard and bitter from the mountains. A few more leaves are falling from the old tree, strong, large leathery leaves, with deep wrinkles and furroughs. Two little children pass, they are gathering a few of the brilliant colored ones-"for teacher." A .very peaceful picture-with just a switch of the radio dial will bring more true horror, destruction, bar barism, and human suffering than a thousand years will heal. The autumnal wind is very fresh and it will be a fine day tomorrow, while just a day's flight from here there are anti-aircraH cannons, shrapnells, machine gun bullets and incendiary bombs. A day full of reflective thoughts, this anniversary of the armistice of a war that is now history, is being overshadowed by the war of tomorrow. It will come soon, for it must; a world will not permit its suicide. Someday there will be a new world, rebuilt upon the prin--Professor Gies announces the ciples of liberty and justice, and then these words will cease to opening of the Music Library in be expressions and become reality.

MRS. MILLER Dr. Eyster Exhibits Genetic SPEAKS AT TEA Specimens Freshman women were feted T h r e e extraordinary genetic specimens were exhibited in illustration of the talk given to Bucknell Junior College students on November 4, by Dr. Eyster, professor of gene.tics at Bucknell University. Professor Eyster fir5t outlined the principles of heredity and described the process of transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring in botn plants and animals. He showed a marigold piant of unusual height and strength which was grown with an eye to eliminating th2 odor. Dr. Eyster also exhibited two corn plants which, through inbreeding, have become pure specimens or, in scientific terminology, homozygous. The larger plant, since i:ts birth in 1919 has been hybridized or crossed with plants possessing desirable characteristics, with the purpose of improving it for the production of the maximum amount of food material. In addition to ,t he two ears of corn which appear on every example of this species, th<: plant has exceptionally broad leaves providing for the manufacture of food on a larger scale within the body itself. These two examples were used to bear out the genetic theory that it is possible, through constant inbreeding, to eliminate the undesirable characteristics in a plant to prepare it for hybridization with others possessing more desirable trairts. MR. SCHMALTZ (Continued from page 1) to the United States, he resumed his studies and passed his examination for his doctorate. He has ~nee been "slaving" over hi5 thesis bearing the somewhat overwhelming title, "Jean Paul's Critical Evaluation of the Literature of His Time, with the Exclusion of Romanticism."

Phone 3-3676 by the Sophomore women at the first tea of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority on Friday, October 24, at Chase Hall. On this occasion, President Mary Pohala formally welcomed and admitted all Fresh man girls into the sorority. Mrs. Miller, wife of the very popular faculty member, Dr. Joseph Miller, entertained with a most interesting revelation of her life in Europe. Describing conditio!ls in Czechoslav::ikia at the time of Austrian oppression shortly before 1914, she told of the active part she played in the Czech underground movement. Speaking of her experiences, she told of her connections with Thomas Masaryk, who later became president of the first Czech Republic. In conclusion, Mrs. Miller mingled the threads of her story with the present world conflict, expressing the conviction that, once again, suppressed peoples will rise. Tea was later served and Rita Seitchek poured. The committee in charge of arrangements included: Emma Lee Kanyuck, June Owens, and Rita Seitchek. Girls Act For Kiwanis On Thursday, November 6th, a one act comedy was given for the Women of the Kiwanis by the Bucknell University Junior College women students under th2 direction of Miss Norma Sangiuliano, dramatic director. The play was entitled "Stuffed Owls" by Edna Higgins Stracham; it is a humorous presentation of "catty" American clubwomen at their worst. Those in the cast included Phyllis Kempinski, Grace Bailey, Eleanor Krute, Anne Douglas, Doris Louise Jones, and Norma Lee Hoover. Eva Charnowitz was prompter for the play. Page Three DANCES HELD Deutscher Verein INKIRBYHALL Organizes - The semi-monthly sport dance~ have become a popular new addition to the extra-curricular activities. These dances are held the first and third Friday of each month in Kirby Hall. Since these dances are stag affairs, there is no possible reason why everyone cannot attend and really enjoy himself. The Student Council has inaugurated these dances so tha; everyone may become acquainted and become interested in the Junior College's more formal affairs. Kirby Hall has proved to be an ideal place for these Friday night get-to-gethers. There is plenty of room, since it is permissible to use the hall and the four rooms on the first floor for dancing. Music is furnished by a phonograph machine, and Mr. Harold Smith has gladly consented to supply some of the most popular records. Smoking is, however, prohibited inside Kirby Hali, since no accommodations have been provided for it, but there is no objection to smoking on the terraces. These dances will continue as planned so long as the student body shows interest in them. So come, bring your friends and have loads of fun. Hallowe' en Dance Draws Crowd Came Hallowe'en, 1941, and all our glamourous, dynamic, etc., Bucknellians arrived, midst showers of rain and witches on broomsticks, at the Fraternity Open House dance given in honor of the Freshman class. After mak ing an impressive and slightly dewy entrance, everyone wandered blissfully about Kirby Hall admiring those intriguing ·black and orange decorations arranged by June Owens and her committee and listening to the harmonious strains of Glenn Michaels' orchestra. Of course, we musn't forget to mention that beautiful purple punch served at intermission; several girls' dresses will probably never recover from the effects. Following several hours of this animated chatter an-i dreamy waltzing, people gradually trickled out of Kirby Hall. The guiding genius of all this sumptuousness was James Convery aided by the following committee chairmen: Sallyanne Frank, programs and patrons; June Owens, decorations; Mary Pohala, refreshments; Peter Seras, orchestra; and Milton Edelman, tickets. The committee members included both freshmen and sophomores. But why are we telling you all this? You were all there, of course, so add your own memories to those very pleasant ones we have highlighted here. STUDENT COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) Frequently several social affairs conflict; therefore, it was thought best to arrange a social calendar. A committee consisting of Mary Pohala, Stefana Hoyniak, and Milton Edelman was appointed to plan this calendar with Miss Sangiuliano's aid. - The newly-organized Ger.man Club held its first meeting on the evening of Wednesday, October 29. The candidates for offices were announced by the nominating committee and elections were held. Those elected were: Alfred Eisenpreis, president, and Fred Balister, secretary-treasurer. .Mr. Schmalz, the club's adviser, led the group in the singing of several German songs and played a few records. He also read Mark Twain's "That Awful German Language" and Goethe's "Erlkonig." The members agreed to purchase a number of German song books, which are necessary for the group singing this year and will be left with the school for the use of future German clubs. Mr. Schmalz has many interesting ideas for German Club activities, which were used at the University of Illinois, and intends to inaugurate many of them into this German Club's program. It already has been decided to hold one meeting a month, either the second or fourth Wednesday. The central interest of the November meeting will be the showing of pictures of Germany, together with supplementary remarks by Mr. Schmalz, and, of course, the usual group singing. A Christmas party is contemplated for the December get-to-gether and possibly a dinner at one of the hotels to end this school year. One and all are invited to attend the meetings whether or not they are studying or know German. I. R. C. ELECTS OFFICERS The International Relations Club of Bucknell University Junior College assembled on Thursday, October 15 to organize for the coming year. The meeting was held in the Reception Room of Chase Hall with Dr. Daniel Gage, instructor in History an:l Political Science, and Guenter Schmalz, instructor in French and German, as faculty advisers. The members elected the following officers to serve for either the first semester or for the whole term which will be decided upon later: President, Michael Wargo; vice president, Elizabeth Lane; and secretary-treasurer, Stefana Hoyniak. The club will meet at Chase Hall fortnightly on Wednesday evenings at seventhirty to discuss problems of the foreign situation. The members intend to send delegates to the Middle Atlantic Conference which meets once a year to confer with representatives of the Carnegie Endowment. Internationally known speaker~ will lecture on current topics and conduct open discussions. Any club delegates are privileged to attend the meeting. "The Rains Came" might be an appropriate name for the day November 1, on which the over night hike was planned. Never theless, a group of Junior College girls were not stopped in their at tempt to hike out to Miss San giuliano's home at Pine View, a distance of thirteen miles. And go they did-in cars. With all that extra energy stored up, the girls immediately pitched in and started to work, pumping the old fashioned well, cleaning house and lighting the fire. With the house in better shape, food was next in line; when ".grub" was finally ready, everyone ate twice as much as she usually does. In the evening, they decided to take a short walk while the rain had stopped for a time. Were they fooled! Not ten minutes away from the house, it started to pour all over again and every one was soaked. Drying out was one long process of hanging clothes on chairs near the fire place and then moving them; still it was an interesting diversion More interesting was the sight of Miss Sangiuliano, sitting by a lighted jack-o-lantern, telling for tunes to a group of pajama-clad girls. The next morning's weather proved to be rather encouraging so the girls rode to Mountain Top and hiked the remainder of the way to Wilkes-Barre. Thus the hike ended and everyone had a wonderful time, even though she came home with aching legs. Those who endured the rain were: Miss Sangiuliano, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Rees, parents of a former Junior College student Mr. and Mrs. Jack Rees (~he was also a Junior College student) Raymond Rock, Marvin Rees Stefana Hoyniak, Muriel Rees Doris Louise Jones, June Owens, Emma Lee Kanyuck, Margaret Wilson, Norma Lee Hoover, Ruth M. Willia.ms, and Dorothy Walk er. If fortune so favored you that business demanded your attention on Public Square last Thursday at noon, you might have been witness to one of the stranges sights in the history of Wilkes Barre. At first glance you might have surmised that our fair city was being invaded by a horde of barbarians,, And justly so, for when a band of Bucknell Junior College Amazons prepares to brave the elements, all considera tion of modern college fashions i] thrown to the winds. The erstwhile attractive youn{; coeds donned the most timeworn pairs of slacks or breeches in their possession, threw faded ba bushkas over their curly locks, and set forth with cheery grins to tackle Georgetown Mountain in the midst of a driving rain and a howling wind. Under the direction of Miss Norma Sangiuliano, director of girls' recreational activities, and an expert guide, they proceeded merrily by bus to Georgetown. Here, under a warm sun from clearing skies, they 19-21 E. South St., Wilkes-Barre commenced the long trek to Prospect Rock. Arriving there, wellnigh exhausted but still undaunted, they settled comfortably down to a feast of roasted ho, dogs and soft drinks. Joining in a cooperative sing, they relaxed before the blazing fire.

After games and movies shown by Professor Hall, refreshments were served. This smoker was the first in a series of events which the Engineering Club plans to sponsor throughout the coming year. James Pearn was general chairman and the following committee was in charge of arrangements : Ti c k e t committee, chairman, James Graham, William Mattern, Nelson Jones and William Meyers ; refreshment committee, chairman, Francis Figlock, Robert Fritzges, Thomas Trethaway, J. D. Fisher and George Rifendifer. The movies included a sound production entitled "Manufacture of Abrasives." This film was supplied by the U. S. Bureau of Mines and the Carborundum Company. In addition Mr. Hall showed the color movies which he has taken of various student activities, such as the Freshman Inquisition, students going to assembly, surveying crews in action on the dike, and Chemistry and Physics Laboratory activities. The Engineers' Club announces the election of ' James Pearn as its president. He has shown himself to be a willing worker and is sure to make an ideal leader. Jack Strunk, a first year man, was elected vice president, and Albert Fladd, another Freshman, secretary-treasurer. Since the Engineers have chosen such capable leaders, they may look forward t o a very successful year. It h as been reported that previews of Prof. Hall's movies re vea~ an abundance of "reel" talent among the Sophomore engineers. We refer to those strong men of the outdoors who spend much of their time running up and down the dike, measuring, sighting, and signalling. Hollywood's loss is Bucknell's gain . How about that, girls? W ell, men, forget about those lessons for one night and come a round to the smoker. W e'll see y ou there . Library Posts Regulations Attention, Uncle Sam ! Here are those engineers you're looking for. This year the largest number of young men in B. U. J. C.'s history has enrolled in the engineering courses in answer to the call put forth by Government and Industry for technically trained men. That there is a definite trend toward the selection of courses giving technical training is shown by an interesting group of graphs recently prepared by Prof. V. B. Hall. These graphs were compiled from data obtained from student attendance lists and show a steady increase in percentage of students enrolled in Engineering, Bachelor of Science and Commerce and Finance courses. In 1935, engineering students made up 16 per cent of the total enrollment but in 1938, the percentage of total enrollment had risen to 19 per cent and this year the percentage has increased to 28 per cent. This steady increase in number of engineers enrolled is due to .th e fact that students graduating from high schools are showing a preference for courses giving training in technical fields . The rather sharp increase in the last two years is due in large part to the National Defense effort. It is to be noted that if the trend indicated by the last two years continues, it would not be surprising to find the engineers making up 35 per cent of the total enrollment next year.

After winning the first game and extending their string of victories to seven, the Business Experts were slapped, pushed, and literally mowed down by the rampaging Engineers during the nex.t two games. The two victories earned by the Engineers has earned them a tie with the C. & F . for first place. Much improvem ent is noted in the playing of the other teams, the Bachelor of Science and B. A. showing decided advancement. The standings of the teams are as follows: J. FOREIGN FILMS PRESENTED The French film, "General Without Buttons," was presented on November 10, in Chase Theatre. It is a delightful story of feuds carried on from generation to generation in two rival Frencl" villages. The author satirizes the rivalries and absurdities by having the parties composed of children. The militaristic methods shown in miniature become ma terial for laughter and pity. Next week's presentation, the "Orphan Boy of Vienna," features the Vienna Choir Boys. It is a German dialogue with English titles. From the small attendance it is evident .that students have not taken advantage of a valuable opportunity to see noteworthy pictures even when they are presented at their own school. These films are culture assets and provide inter esting and enjoyable entertainment. A 11 s t u d en ts should make an effort to see at least one of these great pictures being shown e ach Monday at 4:30 and 8 o'clock. The student admission is only .twenty-five cents for either performance. Bucknell Junior College JayCees will officially open their basketball season on November 21 , at 7:30, against the WilkesBarre Y at the Wilkes-Barre Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Both teams are coached by Walter Thomas and the result should be a hard fought contest. The Jay-Cees were victorious last year by just a few points. This year the Wilkes-Barre Y team will be out for revenge. Last year the Wilkes-Barre Y team challenged our varsity team twice during the basketball season. The Y team lost both games. An added feature of this game is the conducting of a basketball clinic where the rules and regulations will be explained by F. P. Maguire, a member of the National Basketball Rules Committee. Mr. Maguire will be assisted by John "Zip" Bryan, a local official. Looking toward the future, B. U. J : C. will entertain Long Island and Cornell University Frosh. Both of these teams are among .the topnotch leaders in the East. Last year they defeated Cornell but lost to L. I. U. The last time they d efeated L . I. U . was two years ago. So, come out and cheer the team to victory. Student activity tickets enable every student to see all the basketball games and swimming meets. Secure your activity cards from Dr. Tasker.

Having graduated from Meyers High School, he attended Bucknell Junior College and then completed his studies at Bucknell University at Lewisburg. Acting is fun for Mr. Donnelly and he has displayed his versatile dramatic ability in many inst,m ces. He has appeared in the following plays, "Twelfth Night," "Julius Caesar", "Idiot's Delight", and "Hamlet", which is his favorite. He was also the first Thespian president. Mr. Donnelly's interests are many and varied. Swimming and hiking have the greatest appeal for him in the field. of sports. Less strenuous but just as enjoyable to him is the study and, perusal of the pages of English Literature. His personality is based on extreme friendliness and a wonderful disposition. He is also very .modest, . for when ;,u;k<!d what he thought of himself, he thought for a moment and smiled, saying "I am a mystery to myself because I do not know exactly what I tihink of myself."

ATHERTON Dr. Gage Displays SPEAKS TO War Maps STUDENTS A series of maps dealing with current affairs has been placed in Kirby Hall by Dr. Gage. Prepared by Time Magazine and arranged by Dr. Gage and his classes, the display will continue indefinitely. Those under observation at the presenit time are concerned with naval and military operations in the Orient, and inelude outlines of the existing trade ro1,1tes. Dr. Gage plaris to replace this set of maps with others more pertinent to new developments as the conflict progresses. An exhibit connected with the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States will also be presented next week by Dr. Gage. The display will include facsimilies of the original statement of the first ten amendments and the signatures of the members of Congress who approved it. In addition will be shown a collection of books and passages illustra-tive of the historical origins and the forerunners of the Bill of Rights. They will contain illustrations and references to the actions of Congress at the time of the adoption. The works of such noted men as Thomas Paine, John Locke, John Milton. a nd Abraham Lincoln, dealing with the concept of natural and civil rights are also a rranged in connection with the passage of the Bill of Rights. Colonel Thomas Atherton, director of Civilian Defense in Wyoming Valley, spoke to B. U. J . C. students at a special assembly held Thursday ait noon in the Presby,terian Church House. Preceding Colonel Atherton's address, Dr. Farley, director of the college, announced that Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, president of Bucknell University and a member of the Staite Council for Defense, has performed his duty so laudably that he has been selected by Mayor LaGuardia to assume the direction of the Third Corps Area, embracing the states of Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

Woodlawn Homogenized Vitamin D Milk �Debaters Submit To Ashley In colleges throughout the United Stat es forensic r ela1tions , wi:th eith er sc,hools have b egun. W ords are flying thick and fas t upon the question chosen by the Executive Council of the N aitional Association of Teachers of Speech. Bucknell Junior College, with the usual spiriJt, has entered the fi eld of discussion upon this "nation" question w hich is as follows : "Resolved Thait The F ed eral Government Should Regula t e By Law All Labor Unions In The United Sfaites - Constitutionality Conceded." Each year two ques tions a r e 'actively debated by the t eams of ,colleges, universities, and high s chools throughout 1the country. The other is th e "stat e" ques tion , decid ed upon by a state committ ee; iit is concerned with the sending of an Americ-an Expeditionary Force outside the W estern H emispher e to combat Axis powers. In view of :the recent startling ,turn in world -e vents, this latter question will undoubtedly be shelved. Members of the debating team of the Junior College enitered their first verbal conitest with the Alumni of St. L eo's High School of Ashley on December 7. Representatives of Bucknell included Eva Charnowitz, Phyllis Kempinski, and John Moore, who delivered the 5-minute constructive speeches, and Milton Edel.man, who delivered 1the 5-minute 'rebuttal speech. Debating a gainst the Bucknell group was Jack Keeney, who was placed in a most embarrassing position since h e is a student at ,the Junior College. Ably aided by his colleagues, Attorney McDonald (who was admitted to the Luzern e County B ar on 1the day following the debate), Dr. Edward S. Dougherty, and Miss Kane, a freshman at Marywood CollegeMr. K een ey was on the winning side. Dr. Dougherty delivered the r,e buttal for St. Leo's team. The Buckne llians supported the negaitive side of th e ques tion while St. L eo's d efe nded th e affirmative. Thr-ee impartb.l judges, men of consequ en ce a nd influenc e in Luzern e County, awarded the d ecision of the affirmative team. Undau nted by 1their defeat, th e Bucknell de b aiters are prepared to accept all futur e challenges a nd go forward wi:th that old "conquering spirit." Incident ally, Jack Keeney has since b ee n unanimously ini,tiated into ithe debating g r oup of Bucknell Junior C ollege.

STUDENT LEADERS Plymouth would appear to be th e home -o f many executives, for, b esides our honora ble governor, the pres ident of the fr eshman class also h a ils from Shaw nee. The capable young m an in question is G eorg e Rifendifer. After weeks of ineritia, yours truly finally b estirred himself and as the r esult of a little private investiga tion, em,erged wi1th ith e conviction that G eorge was a very versatile person in his high sc hool days. As a matter of fact, George's pas t r ecord fairly dazzles you wi!th ,the variety of interests it r ev,e als. F or thr,e e years, Ge,orge served as junior and s-enior lifeguard, and to supplement this evidence of his a thle tic tend encies we offer you his p c;>s.iition as head cheerleader. We are qui1te convinced tha:t the Plymouth football t eam must h ave fe lt rather uninspired this pas:t fall wiit'ho ut his cheerful exhortations to victory. B esides being managing editor of the Shawn ee Arr-ow, he was photographic editor of the Shawnee Arrow, and photography, incidentally, still rates as one of his f.avoriite hobbies. He most ably demonstrated his dramatic abiMy in his ro les in the school plays and the minstrel in addition to his stag-e membership. In his senior year, G eorge was one of those who participated in the oratorica l contest. By now you are probably wishlng, as are we, that he had slackened his pace and taken a short vacation from his duti es, for his achievem ents are brea1th-taking, in more ways than one. These are not the least of his accomplishments, however, for as president ,o f his class and a m ember of the s tudent co uncil, he has proven . h imse lf to be a distinct asset to the college. Faculty Tries Seminar Method Several members ·o f ithe B. U . Our Engineers Vital To Defense In these times (especially now, more tha n ever before), the imp ortance of the engin eer may be r eadily observed. His work in improving our living conditions is to be seen at ever y hand ; the modern lighting and h eating syst erns in ,o ur horn-es, telephone, radio, a u tomobile, ship a nd airplane, up-to-d ate high ways and airports, present methods of mass production - all of these and many more are direcit r esults of th e ingenuity of th e engineer w heth er h e be in th e civ il, m echanica l, elec trical, or chemical ·field. Since our nation is now at war, the role of the engineer is even more dearly ,o utline d . The engin eer s form one of 1the most interesting a nd exciting div is ions of our ar my. Courage is just as important for an e ngineer in th e U. S. Army ,a s for any enlisted man _w,ho serves in the front ranks. Mechanized warfare h as doubled and redo ubled the importance of the e ngineer. Whe n tanks come to a halt because of a river or swamp, th e engineers step into the p icture. Bridging is their number one job and our own American -b ridge surpasses any in 1the possession of other nations. With this new bridge, 25 men can span 300 ft. of river in 2 hours; under average conditions it would take 200 m en five or six hours to span th e same rive r.

REVISES SCHEDULE (Continued from page 1) portance of rise and fall in population numbers . Some of the questions to be considered are: Have cities reached the limit of their growth in ,the United States? Will a slowly growing national population mean more or less unemployment? What will happen to our educational system if we have fewer young people? Will business find new problems facing its leaders if we become a stationary popula,t ion - neither 'increasing nor decreasing? What sort of occupations and professions are likely to expand in the futu r e? Is .the quality (referring to health, etc.) of our people going to improve in rthe future if we do not increase in numbers? The requirements for this new course are Sociology 100 and one more three-hour course in either Sociology, Economics, His,t ory, or Political Science. Dr. Crook also informs us that a great deal of practical work will be done in •this new course, "Soc. 216". Both of these new courses will not only prove to be interesting but are definitely pertinent to modern age. · The volleyball season came to a thrilling finish Thursday, D ecember 10, when rthe B . S. "A" team bombarded the sextet playing under the name of C. & F . in a manner that methinks would put our navy to shame. Operating smoothly and without any signs of internal dissension, such as shown by the "moneymen", they romped to an easv victorv in the third and decisive game "Babe" Weiss, the ever-alert manager of the v·a nquished, learned afterwards that the victors had used an ineligible player, but true to his own standards of good sportsmanship, the "Babe" refused to take advantage of this opportunity. His only remark it.a the query, "Why don't you protest? " was, "We were be aten by a better team." This gives "Babe" a vote from this corner when it comes to nominating an all-star manager.

FROSH Please Comple tely ou tsmarting our Jay Cee quintet, L. I. U. court lads, leading Freshman team of the East, dropped baskets with uncanny precision to defeat our team, 70-35, in a title at New York. So accurate was the shooting of the victor s that every man in the lineup succeeded in connecting for a t\1..rir1-pcin ter. B. U. J . C. team showed flashes of their strategy, and it proved resourceful. But the odds of an outwitting foe completely overpowered all of our attacks. Action stepped up in the second session with our team desperately trying the tactics of rushing the L. I. U. boys off their fe e1t in order to overcome a 25-9 handicap, but L. I. U. met this strategy in smart fashion by working one man loos,e as they pummelled the baskets for 45 more points to win, 70-35. Our team plays host ,to the L. I. U. team on Friday, the 19th. a,t the local Y. M . C. A. This will be the last h ome game till the New Year. 1 Jay Cees Lose to Bucknell Frosh By 37-31 Our Jay Cee team, which h ad lost three games in succession was dealt another jolt by th~ Bucknell Frosh at L ewisburg, to the tune of 37-31. It was the first league game for both schools. The game was well played from the start to the finish. The J ay Cees showed their excellent passing and shooting ability. However, the campus team completely outsmarted and overpower ed our team.

Condosta is now with Box 64 Ancon, Canal Zone. January 4, 1941. Dear Mr. Faint, Mother forwarded to me the note you sent me asking for my address. I am very glad to send it to you so that through you I can keep abreast with Junior College news. I have been here since June. We were married in St. Luke's Cathedral on June 26, and until the past week have been living in the Canal Zone . We are now located in Bella Vista, a residential section of Panama City. I like our present neighborhood much b etter than our former one ; for I thoroughly enjoy living among the Panamanians. They are an inter esting race of people-always happy and willing to put off until tomorrow what should be done today. Their philosophy is a wise one, for in this climate one can not rush as he does in the States. Our house is of Spanish architec ture, and is, of all colors, pink! In spite of the fact that a pink house in the States would look like something belonging to Barnum and Baiiey, here . it fits well into the Latin atmosphere. We do most of our shopping in the Zone; but occasionally go to the market in the City, where the p eople are as alive as they are in a busy section of N ew York. Traffic in such sections of the City is as congested as it is around the Public Square on a Saturday night. At the flow er market we buy beautiful fl owers from Costa Rica at such prices as 25c a dozen for roses. You can see why romances fl ourish in the Tropics. The beauties of th e Tropics,, of which one r eads, are not overrated. It is a lovely country in every respect, and I shall be very sorry w hen the time comes for me to return to the States. The experience of living here is one that I shall always cherish. The Zone is a rather peculiar place. The Americans living there are rather lifeless, and lacking in ambition and interest. It is neither a city nor a typical segment of America. It is unique unto itself. Fine things are accomplished there, and for those who do it I have great respect; but aside from that I have no particular liking for the Zone or the old-time Pan Canalers. They are on the whole a rather self satisfied group of people who need a good cold winter to pep them into life. I chose a very interesting time to come here to live.

"Dr. Faustus" is a 16th century play by Christopher Marlowe; it is based on the very popular story written at a later daite by Goethe and popularized in many operas. As yet no definite date has been set for the performance. Although the play is a difficult one for Junior College productions, the Thespians, direc1ted by Miss Sangiuliano, consider it a much greater achievement to pro- duce a classic demanding hard work than a play requiring little effort. The basis of dramatic activities in a college should be many fold; to train students in the rudiments of all arts, to teach r esponsibilities, to arouse the imagination, to instill the spirit of cooperation and friendliness, and to present an artistic performance . This latter unfortunately is often misinterpreted for entertainment only. However, everyone is sure that the production will be well worth the time and effort spent. Pierre Pathelin To Be Given One of 1the many attractions of Sub-Freshman Day will be the presentation of an old French play, "Master Pierre Patelin." Written in the fifteenth century, the play concerns itself w i,t h the lazy, likeable and not too honest lawyer, Pierre Patelin, who attempts to live by his wits. The various escapades of Master Pierre provide amusing and clever enter1tainment. The cast includes: Ruth M. Williams, Allen Rosenfeld, William Myers, Joseph Lorusso and Harold Smith. Assisting with committees for the production are: Charlotte Reichlin, properties; mta Seitchek and June Owens, costumes; and Phyllis Kempinski, scenery. HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS INVITED FOR DAY OF FUN MR. PETER SERAS is chairman of ±he lnviiaiion Committee for Sub-Freshman Day Mr. Faint Ordained Baptist Minister The ordination of Mr. Faint as a minister of Baptist denomination took place February 17 at the Baptist Tabernacle. Seven ministers of ,the Wyoming Baptist Association participated in the ceremony. Mr. Faint came to this valley in 1933 and since then has served in many valley churches. He officiated for six months in Nanticoke and four months in Wyoming during rthe time that changes were being made in pastorates. Since early in 1941 Professor Faint has served as interim pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle sharing the pulpit with other clergymen of the area. He is an ac1t1ive member of Luzerne County Sabbath School Association, having served as president from 1936 to 1939. For many years, the majority of Mr. Faint will not seek a permanent pulpit but will remain American people have been inon the college faculty and avail clined to lazy thinking, permithimself as a supply pastor. ting problems of national import to pass idly by their ears.

(Continued on page 2) Scholarship Red Cross First Aid Offered Exams to be Held In the inte1est of War Preparedness a Red Cross First Aid Course has been added to the curriculum of all Sophomore students of Bucknell Junior College. At the completion of twenty hours the men and women taking this course will receive a Red Cross First Aid certificate. Each class can accommodate about thirty students, and since there are not enough sophomore women to fill this quota, any interested freshmen women may enter the class. The first meeting of the women's class was held on Thursday, March 5, from 3:30 to 5:30; classes will continue at this hour for ten weeks. No date ha~ been set for the men's class; nor has an instructor been chosen. This same program has been adopted in many leading colleges for the purpose of strengthening Civilian Defense. Rather than the usual series of teas held each year to which high school senior girls are invited, in order to acquaint them with Bucknell Junior College, the faculty and students have planned a Sub-Freshman Day to be held on Saturday, March 7 from 2 to S o'clock. A varied and interesting program will be so arranged that the guests may view the college campus and buildings, and social and extra-curricular activities. It is hoped that by this closer contact with the college more high school seniors will be aroused to take advantage of a college in their own community.

WORLD PROBLEMS DISCUSSED Scholarships Open To Sophomores This year, as in former years, many scholarships are offered to J u n i o r College Sophomores. These scholarships, all of which are valuable, should be investigated by our Sophomores. The University of Southern California offers a $200 tuition scholarship to any sophomore in a Junior College who is in the upper fifth of his class . The University of Chicago has made available to Junior College sophomores 12 scholarships valu ed at $300 and 12 at $150, which are to be awarded on the basis of a competitive examination held at the participating college on April 18, 1942 from 9: 00 A. M. to 5: 00 P. M. Thirteen $300 scholarships and 13 $150 scholarships are also to be awarded upon application and recommendation. The American University of Washington, D.

DEBATERS MEET PENN STATE Article By Dr. David Brown Published Page Three MR. GEORGE RIFENDIFER is Freshman chair,rnan of Sub-Freshman Day Engineering News Some 19 years ago, in the month of ros·es, a curly haired little red head made her initial appearance in West P ittston, Pa., and immediately captu red the hearts of all beholders. J eanette Jones became her name, and in no time at all she was ca&ting fam e and glory on the whole tribe of J oneses. A decade and a half went by and J eannette was planning a happy future in the Chemical world. To furth er these d esires she placed both feet firmly in B . U . J . C., and we have been e njoying her presence ever since. Her popularity will be vouched for by her offices as Vice-Presid ent of the Sophomore Class and Secr etary of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority. She is also a member of th e Glee Club and a Beacon r e porter, thus furthering many of her high school activities. J eannette is a brainy damsel as can be seen by her radio - awarded Scholarship and her State Scholarship. We have been assured on good authority that she is a brilliant Chemistry student. 'Doing Nothing" is her favored avocation, a lthough she is intrigued by assorted knitting need les and balls of red, blue, green, e tc. , yarn. Ask to see her gray angora mittens. J eannette would prefer to see Kay Aldridge when she attends the movies; and Glenn Miller is her favorite " boogiewoogie" man. Wh en reading and relaxation are in order, Miss J ones eagerly peruses "Gone with t'he Wind" and "How Green Was My Valley." When asked about the spills 'n thrills in her life, Jean nette replied with a lifting of the famous J ones eyebrows, " Nothing ever happens in West Pittston, they roll up the sidewalks at 6 o'clock." J eannette is "going t o be an old maid r esearch ch emist ," and d e clares rthat she likes· cats and dogs, and all forms of animal life except the lowly worm. F or this reason she expects to be highly successful in her chosen role. (They all can' t be old maids, can they?) We can imagine B. U. J . C. being a rather lonesom e place without Jeannette to take the twists out of our troubles. Although it doesn' t seem possible, one-1hird of the new semester has already passed and the war is affecting all of us by shortening the length of time allotted to col lege courses.

Miss Owens has a past like every one else, so let's look into i-t. This delightful addition to the B .U.J.C. so phomore class made her d ebut in Wilkes-Barre on June the third, 1922, to the pleasure of her mother a nd father and assonted older sisters. On r eaching six years , little J une trotted off to P almer Grade School and in no time a t all was working her way through Meyers High School. During this epoch, Miss Owe ns sang in the senior class's operetta, worked on t he year book and the school paper, was secretary of the science club, and figured as a prominent member of the Junior and Senior Honor Socie ties. When we looked into our own private year book for 1940, we found a pretty picture of a demure young lady accompanied by the following: "It's June in J an uary when June is arou nd." She has a girlish giggle and a childish blush thait pleases. We predictif she would like teaching, i,t would suit her fine. J u ne must have liked the suggestion, for sh e has already begun to fulfill this prophecy. Miss Owens is a busy individual at B. U . J . C., and the Th espians, Student Council and International Relation's Club r ej oice in her membership. She is also the preside nt of that group of caroling songbirds, the Glee Club. As we have said, myriad things occupy June's time, but sleep is the one she finds most illuminating. On the screen, she enjoys Deanna D urbin and Tyrone Power ; and "H ow Green Was My Val ley" pleases her literary tas-te. Complete happiness is June's when French fries or ice cream are set before her. Although she didn't me ntion it, we are sure the Calculus Class would consider her its major inspiration . Our mod est interviewee assures us that nothing exciting has ever happen ed to her. G'wan, June, r em ember-Miss Owens aspires to a career as an "old maid school t eac her," but only the future can reveal the outcome of ihis declaration. She will finish her education at Buckn ell Campus and will m a jor in Mathematics and French. S eriously, June is the kind of person we will all remember when ma ny recollections of our college days have fad ed from our thoughts. CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS Town Hall Building Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

WALTER THOMAS Dr. Faustus to be Second Major Production Once more the theater is buzzing with excitement, as ~he second major production goes into rehearsal. ' The play chosen is that very popular classic, "Dr. Faustus." The legend of Faustus appeared early in the 16th century; a great number of "Faust-books," as they were called, ballads and puppet plays arose with this same character as the central figure. To Marlowe belongs the credit for writing, in 1588, the first drama based on the activities of Dr. Faustus. Marlowe was followed by many dramatists in later centuries, chief of whom is Goethe, the famous German poet. The latter's work, picturing the final triumph of idealism, became the basis for the magnificent opera, "Faust," by the French composer Gounod. Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" is a drama of great emotion; however, in its portrayal of Faust's gnawing agony and mental torture, it is very simple indeed. The different changes of incident and manner add greatly to its appreciation. Although the casting has not yet been completed, the following have already been given parts: Milton Edelman, Arthur Rowe, Joseph Larusso, George Rifendifer, Lloyd Davies, Bill Myers, Albert Fladd, Grace Bailey, Joan Adamshock, Irene Kessler, and Norma Lee Hoover. Milton Edelman, a veteran star · of 'T hespian presentations, is expected to surpass his former brilliant performances with a stirring and sympathetic portrayal of the great Dr. Faustus. The play will be given April 24th and 25th in the Chase Theater. Judging from the enthusiasm and earnestness with which the cast and the Thespians are tackling this momentous production, we feel safe in predicting another dramatic success to the credit of Miss Sangiuliano and her cohorts. Walter Thomas, physical education director and basketball coach of Bucknell Junior College, will leave this institution shortly and assume his new position of physical education director at the Norristown Y. M. C. A. A native of Wilkes-Barre, where he was born June 4, 1915, Thomas attended public schools in that city, and graduated from Kingston High School in 1935. As a great sportsman, Thomas became very active in the promotion of basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and baseball in this valley. He entered the Junior College in 1935 and convocated in 1937. During his college career, Walter Thomas was President of the Student Council, President of the Lettermen's Club, a Thespian, and a member of Glee Club, and captain of the Bucknell Basketball team. In his Sophomore year, 'T homas became Basketball Coach and succeeded Henry Peters as Physical Education Director. "Shorty," as he was called by all his friends and his admiring students, revised and formed an entirely new physical education program which included volleyball, tennis, badminton, swimming, and handball. As Basketball Coach, this clever mentor who, during his five years produced winning combinations, despite the lack of material, should be highly praised. "Shorty" has always prided himself on instilling a spirit of (Continued on page 2) Edelman Chairman State Convention GEORGE SUMMERSON TO PLAY AT ST.

Dr. Eells has just completed his annual enrollment analysis of the nation's junior colleges, releasing his findings from the Association's Washington office. In one year the nation's twoyear colleges have added 31,000 young people to their enrollments, increasing the total enrollment from 236,162, as reported last year, to 267,406 reported this year, a growth of 13.2 per cent. The number of junior colleges has also increased-from 610 last year to 627 this year. In the past five years the enrollment of the junior colleges in this country has more than doubled. This increase, despite changed national conditions, is not to be interpreted, Dr. Eells points out, as a desire of young people to avoid active military service, but, on the contrary, to their desire to be of the greatest possible MUSIC CLASS TO HAVE OUTING WORLD LIT CLASS JUDGES CONTEST �Page Two BUCKNELL BEACON J,_•__E_o_1_T_o_n_1_A_L_s_ _•_, "THE THE BUCKNELL BEACON MAILBAG" Friday, April 10, 1942 AROUND the CORNER --Ask Eleanor Line about the Dear Editor, boy whose name she won't tell, No. 6 I have noticed in the past but of whom she talks constantmany letters in your column ly.

"The purpose of the exhibit," says Dr. Brown, "was to reveal the wide range of nationalities represented in our community. Only those students who are able to speak and write their mother tongues were permitted to enter material." Included in the collection are foreign printings of famous literary works, newspapers, and books otherwise unique in that they bear a distinct connection to the coming of the students' ancestors to his counry. One of the most valuable pieces to be seen was an Italian copy of Dante's Divine Comedy. contributed by Joseph Larusso. Printed in Milan at an early date, the volume contains exquisite illustrations on paper exceed ingly rare in its delicacy of material. Equally unique is a Gaelic textbook entered by Miss Eleanor Fay. This copy was the first Gaelic textbook printed in Ireland after the repeal of the Penal Law forbidding the use or the teaching of Gaelic. Also in Miss Fay's collection is an Irish mass book. Ted Glowacki, of Nanticoke, submitted a copy of a popular Ukrainian child's book, which, upon examination, proved to be very similar to our own American Robinson Crusoe. It is striking in the resemblance of its illustrations to those with which every American is familiar. It is believed that both sets were created by the same artist. The Hound of the Baskervilles, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mystery is also to be seen in Ukrainian translation with illustrations very similar' to those in the English. A collection of German books owned by Alfred Eisenpreis, an Austrian who came to this country in 1938, is on display. One of his most prized entries is a collection of poems by the great German Romanticist, Goethe. In addition is a German translation of War and Peace, the novel of the famous Russian author, Tolstoy. Miss Grayce Bailey has contributed a Welsh Bible, which first belonged to her grandfather. An inscription tells us that the Bible was given him immediately before he embarked for this nation. Also Welsh are a songbook owned by Ruth L. Williams and a collection of Bible Stories belonging to Lloyd Jones.

A committee consisting of Chairman Aaron Weiss, Ed Nattras, and Tom Evans presented the money to Treasurer William Ruhf, who later said, "I am very enthusiastic and happy to see a group of students take such a great interest and pride in the welfare of our community." DEBATE CHAIRMAN (Continued from page 1) subjects thoroughly in the hope that their platform will be accepted by the group. The general topic and theme of the discussion will be :"What sort of peace do we want after this war?" The authorities supervising this debate forum have designated the following pertinent issues as question to be discussed by Committees One and Two this year: Committee ! -"Status of Nations:" What should be done with the status of the many nations? a. Should all be returned to their original status as states? b. Should specific forms of government be insisted upon? c. What territories should they have? d. Should they be completely disarmed? e. Should they be combined into blocs? Committee 11-"World Union:" Should there be some sort of world federation or union? a. Should this be a revived League of Nations? . b. ?hould i~ consist of only the -v1ctonous nat10ns? c. Should all nations of the world be admitted? . . d. Should the victorious nations combine to "police" the rest of the world? Bucknell Junior College plans to send their coach, Dr. Bernhart, and five delegates to the convention. Phyllis Kempinski and Jack Keeney are scheduled to work with Committee One, while Eva Charnowitz and Ruth Williams will work with Committee Two. Dr. Bernhart plans to work in either of the two groups, and Milton Edelman will preside over Committee Two. The members of the team feel sincerely that they will derive much from participation in this forum, for consideration of the widely varying opinions that will most certainly be found develops constructive thinking. We are certain that they will contribute as much as they will derive from taking part. Engineering News If you haven't seen the large drawing room on the second floor of Conyngham it would be worth your while to visit this newest addition to Bucknell Junior College.

DEFENSE FORUMS ARE INCREASINGLY POPULAR The fifth in the series of War Defense Forums sponsored by Bucknell Junior College was held on Monday evening, March 16 at 8:15 in Kirby Hall, with "The Survival of the Unfit" as the topic for discussion. Dr. Lewis Buckman, president of the Pennsylvania Medical Association, Dr. Crook, instructor in sociology and economics, and Dr. Tasker, instructor in the sciences, were the group leaders. Through a joint examination of the various points of view which each participant represented, they endeavored to interpret the significance of individual superiority and to determine whether that superiority does exist. 'The question of fitness was raised with an eye to pointing out the standards by which we apply the term medically, biologically, and sociologically.

Though it is customary for most colleges to have an annual May Day with a May Queen and her court, it was impossible at the Junior College, because of lack of space and appropriate eurhythmics I:>rogram, until the college came mto the possession of Chase Hall and its grounds. The first year the pageant was called "Freedom of Women" and was written by Miss Sangiuliano. Though the now more casually taken outdoor practice caused so.me expressions of ridicule on the part of the boys, the girls were seriously interested and the pageant was a success. The first May Queen was Miss Dorothy Hughes. She was an honor student, president of the girls' sorority, Beta Gamma Chi, a member of both the Glee Club and Thespians. She furthered her education at the campus where she continued her activities and acted as house representative at Harris Hall. She is now Mrs. Robert Royer, having married a former Junior College boy. The "Pied Piper of Hamlin" was the second pageant presented, in which Miss Eleanor Parry was May Queen. She was one of the highest scholastically, was prominent in various activities and assisted in office work. She is now a senior at the campus where sh e - was ··onc·' of - the r-unners-up for the Queen of the Senior Ball this year. Last year the pageant given was "The Storybook Hour," based on the story of the "Babes Lost in the Woods" Its ideas and dances originated and were worked out by a committee of students elected from the eurhythmics classes. Miss Jane Nagro was the Queen, and, like her predecessors had one of the . ' (Contmued on page 4) Page Three STUDENT LEADERS I Let Disney have his Snow White; B.U.J.C. has Treveryan Williams, and we are willing to wager that this winesome young freshman would please everyone from Prince Charming to the Seven Dwarfs. Few records are available concerning her early vicissitudes save for a birth certificate dating from 1923 and report cards of the Willow Street grade school literally smeared with A's. As do all "Shawneeites," she eventually wended her way through the portals of Plymouth High, where she was a popular figure, being president of the Freshman Class and vicepresident of the Senior Class. She took part in the oratorical contest and was a member of the Girl Reserves. As a budding journalist and author "par excellence," she served as copy editor on the "Shawnee Arrow" board and literary editor of the yearbook. Time flew on and "Trev" left high school in a blaze of glory only to find herself in the be~ littling status of a B.U.J.C. freshman, decked out in pigtails and black cotton stockings. Her obscurity was only fleeting, however, for everyone looked her over, and, when freshman elections arrived, she was chosen girl representative on the Student Council. During her spare time, Treveryan drums on the piano, but otherwise insists that life is too hectic for frivolity. In the line of sports, she likes football (as a spectator, of course) , swimming, and skating. You must certainl_y know of her. bowling enthusiasm, for she · is a charter m~~ber of . the Dougl~s-HooverWilhams-Wilson bowlmg tean_i. Her latest score was 114. It is obvious that she is a persevering athlete as well as a successful .s tudent. __ Wh~n . asked about her likes and dislikes, Treveryan was quite noncommittal and modestly confessed that she ?ad never thought abou\ th e. subJect. At present, ~he hves m mortal dread of bemg selected as an "_ant" for t~e r,agean~; Her favo~ite poem is Trees, . by Joye~ Kil.me~'. and as she ,?laims she_ is not mtellectual, . she declmed to name her favor~te boo~. In rega~d to her favorite subJect, she simply replied, "Math." The question of food brought a warmer response, and 'T reveryan assures us that she likes everything edible but parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas. Like Li'] Abner, she finds pork chops the most succulent of all tasty morsels. If you should accidentally (?) call her up on one of her nights of relaxation, you would probably find her listening to "Information, Please" and the "Quiz Kids." Her dislikes are quite emphatic; snakes, "the slimy things," are abhorrent to our dainty interviewee. Miss Williams prefers that her clothes be blue; but they all look mighty nice to us, and we would venture to say that she could well be termed a "stunning dresser." Don't you like that red jacket? Hm-mm? Treveryan's goal in life is a B. S. degree in Biology, although there has been some controversy concerning her future from certain quarters. She expects to finish her education at Penn State, when she has completed her sophomore year at B.U.J.C. Now we hope that you have gained some slight understanding of this delightful young student. But if you are still puzzled, just watch for her on the campus, and you will see that what we've said isn't far from wrong. Black Curly hair, dark brown eyes, and a charming personality are the perfect epithets to apply to the sophomore lassie, Sallyanne Frank. She first saw light on June 30th-year unknown (come, co.me, "Sassie"). Ever since she was a toddling youth, a wave of ambition possessed her and has been evident in her entire school and social career. "Sass" (a nickname she just loves) transferred from grade school to G . A. R., where she flashed about doing this and that for everyone. She served as editor-in-chief of the Garchive, associate editor of the Blue and Gray, and was a staunch member of the Girl Reserves, Equestrian Club, and the Ping Pong Club. Incidentally, very few of the college students have heard about Sallyanne's executive ability, so here is an interesting side-line note: For many years she went to camp as one of the many little devilish campers (speak for yourself, Douglas!). Then, after having received a vast knowledge of outdoor life, she applied for a job as counsellor at the same place. The supervisors very willingly offered her the position, and off she went, happy as could be. Little did she realize what was in store for her as counsellor among campers who were and soon became her good friends. But she did her duty as a scout and did it well-duty, her sole concern. Upon graduation from G.A.R. with high honors, Sallyanne en_tered B.U.J.C., and she has__ certainly kept her astonishing record in her studies. She has a very full program, for, besides her studies, she is one of the editors of the Beacon (happy us!), member of the International Relations Club, of the Student Council, was chairman of SubFreshman Day, and has often served as chairman of committees for our college dances. After her graduation from Bucknell, "Sass" hopes to transfer to Welleslley, and we say she has little cause for fears of failure. Her major is English, and in that she has the hearty approval of Mrs. Brown, for she wants to teach it. It was very difficult to interview this sophomore star, for she modestly insisted that her life is uninteresting. But after probing a little further, we finally squeezed some information out of her. She especially dislikes silly people-but that, evidently, is her only dislike. Her favorite food is steak and French fries, but who doesn't enjoy a meal like that? Sallyanne loves the movies and reading, so it was not easy to get any specific one as a favorite, but we'll venture to say that "Rebecca" and "Kitty Foyle" would rank high. With such an interesting and successful past, an even more promising and eventful future seems inevitable for "Sass"-so, to one of the best of Bucknell, we all join in wishing her all the success and happiness in the world.

According to the tale, Cupid, the god of love, was accidentally wounded by h is arrow, and fe ll in love with Psyche. From this point on the story proceed ed to explain that "Love cannot do well with suspicion .'" Since the locale of the story was ancient Hellas, the girls were garbed in a uthentic G r e c i a n costumes. The crowning of the May Queen w as patterned after the Greek custom of selecting the loveli est maiden t o r eign over the festival as the chosen goddess of the d ay. Miss Eliza- ] beth Womelsdorf, May Queen, was select ed t o play the role of Psyche. On the occasion of the festival, the nymphs of Venus d eserted the altars and favorite h aunts of the goddess of love and b eauty to pay homage to Psyche. Two groups of n y mphs, dancing in opposition, portrayed the rivalry and jealousy of Venus. Each group dance serv ed to explain the sequence of events ; the ants ai ded Psyche t o separate the gr a in, the bats signified nightfall, myst ery and suspicion and the zephyrs r eleased Psyche from the rock where she was left to be devo ured by a m onster. The concluding dance number was "Springtime in Hellas," one which was designated for use in every Bucknell pageant by the group of girls w ho presented the first pageant .

The election of Weir takes the presidency out of the hands of the swimmers, after they have held it for several years. The new president was one of the bright spots in this year's not too successful basketball team. Martin is a graduate of Seton Hall Preparatory School, where he was a member of the basketball team and was also captain of the football team for two years.

Hampton Quartette Returns The Hampton Quartette from the Hampton Institute in Virginia entertained the faculty and students of Bucknell Junior College on April 19 at noon in the Chase Theater. The Quartette first visited the college last year when they rendered a group of Negro songs and spirituals. This year their program included: "Oh! Rise and Shine," "Play on Your Harp," "We Are Walking in the Light," "I Want to be a Christian," " One More River to Cross," "Deep River," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "Steal A way." The Hampton Institute was founded in 1868 by General Samuel C. Armstrong, a brigadiergeneral of the Civil War. Its subsequent development was so rapid that the student body increased from sixteen students to six hundred men and four hundred women. "The main purpose of Hampton," says Mr. White, its representative, "is to help the mass of Negro people overcome the difficulties built up by theirexistence REPORTERS-Sitting-C. Reichlin, R.

Farley, Dr. p, J. Gage ·~ · © Red Cross Benefit Held The editors of the Beacon feel that one of the finest social events of the current year took place on Saturday, April 10th. Bucknell Night, the proceeds of which have gone to the Red Cross, vrns the product of splendid work, cooperation, and generocity on t he part of a number of people. V-.7 e feel that special mention s1hould be made of the wholehearted efforts of Joe Markowitz in making the evening a success. He and his staff of eight men did a gl:'e&it job. We feel, too, that it was a fine gesture on the pa,rt of Mr. Chet Basher to referee. w ithout compensation, t Ke Bucknell-Air Crew basketball game . Our gratitude is also extended to the Y, M. C. A. officials, who gave us the use of the two gymnasia, and the pool, for the evening. Appreciation is due to Mr. George Jones, who did so much to help in preparing the boys for their respective events, as well as to the boys themselves, who used much of their spare time in getting ready £or the lively entertainment which they afforded us. The net proceeds of Bucknell Night amounted to approximately $35. The fine entertainment and the knowledge that these funds would be our contribution to the Rc·d Cross maiue the evening rno1·e than su<.:cessiful. - ----- --- The editors find, to their intense relief, that there is such a thing as a seven-man team, and offer in evidence the fo llowing letter: March 19, 1943. The Co-Editors, The Bucknell Beacon, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. Dear sirs: In your editorial of March 18, p,a.ge four, co1umn .one, you ask for suggestions fo r a seven-man team.

J.C. Service-Men Enjoy Beacon It is gratifying to the editors to kno;w that the distribution of the Beacon among Bucknell men now in the armed forces is appreciated. vVe have received letters from any number of former students expressing the pleasure which they find in reading ~bout school affairs and tbe adiv'Jtieis of the,ir school friends. To many of the men whose names appear on our mailing lists some of us are unfamiliar, but this seems to make no difference at all. They still enjoy the Beacon and school news. A letter recently received from Corporal Benja,.min S. Davis, now in Oklahoma, expresses what seems ot be the general .feeling of all our men in the armed fo rc es. He says: •••••••••••••••••••n.:r:s¥L. "I have been receiving your gift of the Beacon from time to time and I want to take this opportunity to tell you THE QUIP folks how much it is appreciated.

Born in Wilkes-Ban-e, March 8, 1923, she attended and was graduated from Elmer L. Meyers High Sc1hool. Her talents ait high school were applied to journalistic a.nd dramatic activities. She w,a s a co-editor of the "Elmpr'int" and of the "Colophon,'' and was a member of the Mey,hidram, dramatic society. Her interests in coJlege lie in the fieil d ·of psycJho1o,g y, and she plans to complete a maj.or in psychology and statis tics. It is her intention to transfer to the University of Michigan for wm,pletion of h er college training, following i:n ·t he fo,o tste,p:s .o f heir b~·othr(r, Milton.

EXP.ANDING FAST deserve. EDITORS THANK CO-WORKERS In this, the final edition of the Beacon, the editors wish to express their appreciation to the faithful columnists, reporters and staff assistants for their contributions. We have had fun working with these people, and we have looked with anticipation to th~ submission of their various columns and news items. Tl\.e thoughtful discussions by Mr. Sullum of current international issues, the slightly incohorent (and shall we say slaphappy) column of Messrs. Markowitz and. Patoski, the choice gossip of Ruth Keats and Mary Hutchko , and Jack Karnofsky's humor, we have found equally stimulating. We are indebted to Don Kresge for the fine piece of work which he has done in substituting for Harold Smith. Both columns have proved most enjoyable to those of us who are (and who isn't) addictea. to music of the popular idiom. To all of those who have been so helpful and cooperative, we are deeply appreciative.

I really feel for her. It was even worse yesterday. Those anklets and high heels are bad enough, but yesterday she wore black stockings. No,w in my day there was none of this. When a young woman began to act que erly she was placed under observation. Apparently, uhi.s is another point in which the modern generation has be-c ome lax. "Just look at that o-utlandish plaid ribbon and that make-up. I shared a seait with her the fir st morning, and, thinking she• d1,essed in a hurry, forgetting one-half of her face, I called the matter to her attention. But did she appreciate my effovts? No. She just gave me the saddest look I ever saw. It,. w.as then that I realized something was radically wron.t' and that I was in a dangerous position. Someone told me once that one should humor such people; so, seizing the bouquet she was carrying (just between you and me, it looked like so many weeds), I exclaimed, "Wbat lovely ferns and greens!'' She gave me that sa me sad look, only this time she looked as though she thought I were the queer one. "After that my curiosity was aroused, and when she left the trolley I followed her. A't River Street she met a fellow who is just as far gone. He was carrying a bucket and wearing heavy gloves--in June, mind you! His pants legs wie,r e rolled up, revealing-what do yo u think? Two diffevent color·ed sox ! Well, they stopped, and, J.ookirug furtively around, pulled out •picket signs whi-ch they placed on over the-ir heads. I never read the signs because I was keeping my distance. Somebody apiparently ha<l been chading them, because they were muttering something about the Sophomores catching them. "Scared as I was, I followed. And where do you think they turned in? At Bucknell Junior College! Yes! Frankly, I think they had the wro,ng institution."

No. 10 Dr. Strow Joins Faculty ~ ~-----= . - : Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Tuesday, November 30, 1943 Miss Leidy Departure Of I New Math Welcomed Dr., Gage Professor By C. and F.'s Regretted Takes Over DR. STROW M'ISS MABEL M. LEIDY "Who is he? What's ·he like?" So speculating, we entered our first class in the social sciences and found a genial person ready and waiting with a good deal of knowledge and a still better sense· of humor. Dr. Strow was born in northern Indian.a a long time ago. (How long? He isn't telling!) He was educated in the Indiana schools and rec€ived his A. B. and A . M. at the Indiana State University, his Ph. D. at the University of Chicago. Most of Dr. Strow's time has been spent ·in teaching the social sciences in western colleges, mainly in the states of Indiana and Oklahoma. Then, too, he was employed by the government in rural reha,b ilitation :wprk, and until recently worked in an airplane manufacturing plant. Incidentally, he has not only done his bit by speeding up production, but also by giving three sons to the armed services. ,1/ben Dr. Strow is not .p robing into t"he whys and wherefores of human r elations, he can be found actively participating in some sport. In fact, he expressed a desire to compete with any student or · fac ulty member in a tennis match. His first impression on being .here was that it was not too much different from his native West, but he does think that the average run of students is much better in the East. Our impression of you, Dr. Strow You're ALL RIGHT! Buckne!I Junior College welcomes Miss Mabel M. Leidy. Miss Leidy, w'ho was born in Klinesville, Pennsylvania, received her early education in the public s chools of Windsor Castle, Pa. She later attended Keystone State Normal School, and received her B. S. in education and also her master's degree in education at Temple University, where in 1919 she be-caime an inst ructor at the School of Bisoness Administration untiil 1930. In 1930, Miss Leidy moved to the positi-on as an instructoir of commercial -e ducation at the Teachers College of Temple Universiity. Miss L€idy"s favorite ho,bby is photography. She also has done much traveling. In the summer of 1930, she was abroad, visiting England, France, Sw:itzerland, Germany, and Austria. She is a member of the Phi Delta Gamma, fraternity for gra,duate women, and also of Alpha Sigma T a u. She is listed in Who's Who in Americ·a n Women. Miss Leidy, since she has be,e n in Wilkes-Barre·, received a very favor-able i,mpression of Bucknell Junior College and also of the city of Wilkes-Barre, and in the future ho,pes to become more fami liaa:. ,ve are very proud to 'have a pe1·sonage of Miss Leidy's esteem on our faculty, and we hope that she will find her position here with us very enjoyable. The new Thespia.n production, "Moorbarn," is now in rehearsal. All those interested in becoming Thespians please see Miss Sangiuliano about work connected with the -p lay if you have not already d-one so. '~----- ___... It was with genuine regret that the student body of Bucknell received the news that Dr. Daniel Gage had de·c ided to leave for another position at Millike n College in Decatur, Illinois. Dr. Gage came to the Junior College .shortly after it was established and through t"he years became an integral p,art of all our college life. His keen sense of humor enlivened many a hisitory and political science class and the dryest subject became a source of intense interest with his presentation. The sophomores and the summer freshmen felt his leaving most ke enly and whenever the "Alums" come back, Dr. Gage is always one of the first to be mentioned. The student body joins in with the Beacon staff, with whom he was associated as advisor, to wish him every success and happiness in his new position and have expressed the hope that Bucknell and its students will always hold as warm a spot in his heart as he does in theirs.

The history of Bucknell University Junior College is an interesting story of w·nat perseverance and determination can accomplish if given an opportunity. Almost everyone kno\\-s the story of its foundation, and of the meagre start with which it was first attempted. They know, too, of the pessimistic attitude with which its esablishment was first viewed. But from that temporary location in a Northampton Street building it has come a long way. These first classes in that build_ ing proved that ambition and abililty would take advantage of ·the great opportunity which the Junior College held out. Even though their work was accomplished in a few rooms on the top floor of a rented building, they were looking forward to the day when th.e college would ad vance and spreiad. The advance was rapid. The foL lowing year . the entire building was .rented, and equipment was purc'hased by Bucknell University for the use of Junior College students.

Constructive chinking, however, necessitates planning for the years beyond the war. lf men fail to -p lan for reco,nstruction after the war, it is inevitable that disorganization will result. Failure to plan for the future of the college would be as dis,a strous as failure to plan for the continuance of our government, or for the continuance of any business enterprise. It is fitting, therefore, that Bucknell Junior College as it observes its tenth anniversary should cake stock of its past and plan for its future. The Junior College was established to meet a long-felt need · of the ·wyoming Valley. Although conditions are changing and the population of this community is dedining, there is certainty that the Junior College can expand its services and increase its enrollment. E:ven though the population s'hould decline from 300,000 to 250,000, it would be reasonable to expect an enrollment of 800 in a four-year college.

Farley, Dr. Robert Nicholson ~~) LOOKING TO 'THE FUTURE At the close of the first decade of the life of our Junior College, we can compare ourselves to the Greek god, Janus, since we look not only backward, but also to the future. Bucknell University Junior College has a history of which it might well be proud. Guided by wise and competent leaders, the college has come successfully through its first ten years, which were made doubly difficult by the outbreak of the second World War. Not only the college, but all of Wyoming Valley owes a great deal to these men who had enough foresight to realize the need for an institution of higher learning in this valley. But while we are proud of the past, we must also look ahead to the future. We must begin now to plan further progress and expansion. Even if these plans can not be developed at the prese·nt moment, it is wise to have a postwar program in mind. We believe that the small young college will have an even better chance for advancement and achievement after this war, since it will not be hampered by old traditions~ long outmoded, but can expand and grow to meet the needs of the time. So while we are extremely pleased over our successful efforts from 1933 to 1943, we should resolve that these efforts will not stop, but continue until the day comes when this is a fully equipped four-year college. This aim, we realize, will require time and money, but if the college continues to have the wise guidance and management and the support of our generous friends of the past, there is no reason why this is not entirely possible. Thus, we see the task before us, and with confident spirit we are looking to the future. BUCKNELL AT WAR The past two years have wrought many changes in the institutions in Wyoming Valley. Bucknell University Junior College has been only one of those so affected. However, these changes have not been to the disad vantage of our schools, as has been the result in other instances of small colleges. It is true that we have labored under the strain of adjustment; our student body has been diminished to approximately one-half its regular size. There is an accelerated program in effect which has required time and labor to make effective. Finally there is the presence of army students, members of the air crew. · All these, ho•wever, have caused Bµcknell Junior College to advance and to increase, rather than decrease, in importance in the role it plays in our community lfe. True, we who have been here and seen this transition realize that there are handicaps which we must now bear that have not been here in the past. We also realize that we are part of a nation at war, and that intelligent people living in such a nation can easily understand these handicaps and accomplish their part despite hindrances. Therefore, it is with pride that we review the progress of recent years. We have proven our point to those who were doubtful, we can and will advance. The spirit of our Junior College is one that cannot be broken. KEEP AMERICA SAFE BUY WAR BONDS DR . EUGENE S. FARLEY With the passing of a decade at B. U. ,T.

It was a four-page paper, one-half the size of the present paper. Since then, according to the wishes of th e staff and the demands of the time, it has increased or de-creased in size. In November of the same year, the paper introduced into its pages· a limited amount of advertising of friends and business firms throughout the valley. It has continued bhis policy to the present day. According to statistics, the "Stampede" in 1035 was mailed to seven libraries, seventy high schools, · thirteen juni or colleges and two u niversities. The Wyoming Valley Historical Society also started t'hat year to make a complete file of the isues of the paper. Under the directi<'n of Dr. W. H. Crook, "The Beacon" was started on ·September 5, 1936 , as the "Stampede" had fallen by the wayside. It was Dr. Crook who chose the present name of the paper. In l 937, the "Beacon" began to be pubJ;shed every three weeks. At times it has had a s taff of over twenty, but during its career the average number on t'he staff has been between eight and fifteen. In 1937, for a time an advisory board of five students, with Dr. Crook, Miss Mabel Brooks, and Mr. W. I. Miller was tried. For a time in 1937 the paper was under the direct control of the staff, with no faculty supervision. One iss ue during this period was published in the form of a booklet. The "Beacon" received $30 an issue from collge funds toward publicaion. Other faculty advisers have been Dr. Farley, Mr. G. Schmaltz, Miss Barbara Ryerson, and Dr. Gage. In 1942, the "Beacon" published a special war extra, carrying the proposed increase in . the student activity fee. At present, t'he paper is under the supervision of Dr. Farley and Dr. Nicholson. Thus ends the first years in the life of our student JJUblication. Let us hope that the next onEloS see it continue to improve and hold its place in the life of the school. BUCKNELL Activities Past And Present Thespians Play Active Role In College In the history of the .Junior College there have been numerous . l ubs and societies, most of which survive until the present day, or at least did survive until t he outoreak of war. In 1943, a l'olitical .:lcience Clu b was organized under the direction of Dr. Orin Oliphant, _..,,nich met t'hree times a month. A Debating Club was founded in 1933, under Professor Keller, which competed with these colieges: Elizabe,thtown, Syracuse, Geneva, Muhlenberg, Penn State, a nd Bucknell University. In 1n7, .he Debating Society came under ,he supervision of Dr. Hrown, and added Scranton Keys,tone Junior Co llege, St., Thomas', and Nassau College in Long Island to its com_ petitors.

All sophomores who were interested and who had w.orked the previous year were invited to join the group. A contest was held in the Beacon for a new name and Edward Zurek, a student at the college t'hat ye,a r, chose the name Thespians, which goes back to one of the early figures in the . Greek drama. The charter members of the group drew up a merit system for freshmen who wished to join the society and meetings were held regularly.

By means of small tags, the students were divided into two groups, one of which spent part of the evening farmer dancing in the theatre, the other part of which spent the ·time playing game,s in the recept1on room. After the dancing and ga.mes, r efreshments were served in the reception room. A big fire was built in the fireplace, and Mrs. Farley entertained the guests with a humorous letter written about them which brought much 1aughter and applause. Helen Bitler sang several beautiful, but little known, Christmas carols, and th,e whole group participated in singing the well-known carols whic'h mark every Christmas celebrat,on, closing with "Si"lent Night," the favorite of all. It was an occasion for celebration by everyone, and will be remembered by those who attended it for the deep enjoyment it afforded. On December 17, 1943, the Beta Gamma Chi sorority held a Christmas buffet supper in the reception room of Chase Hall for the Fr-eshman and Sophomore members. The committee in charge of the affair was 'headed by Beverly Graham, and it consisted of the following members: Lois Buckingham, Aileen Carr, Caryl Thomas, and Helen Morris, sophomores, and Jean Kocyan, Florence Jones, Rita Wertheimer, Phyllis Smith, and~arian Ganard, freshmen. '.I'ft'.e centerpiece was formed of a miniature Santa Claus and sleigh surrounqed by holly, and the individual tables were lit by red candles. :F·a vors were crys.tal candy wrapped in red and green crepe paper and tied with ribbon. The program was as follows: 1 : Solos by Helen Bitler, accompanied by Mrs. Eugene Farley. Piano selections by Rut'h Punshon. Carol singing by the entire group, led by Helen Bitler.

This gripping drama of the Bronte sisters represents the first major production of the Theg,p,ians, the Junior College's dramatic society. The play was originally opened on the Nerw York scene in 1934, with Katherine Cornell and other actors of her calibre. It was proclaimed Pn immediate success and enjoyed a long run. The plot of the story centers around the three immortal Bronte's and their love for their wayward ne'er-do-well brother, Branwell. It tells how the girls, all widely varied in character and understanding, united' to save as best they can the reputation of Branwell, whom his father believes to be an unrecognized genius, but wh6 in reality is a .drunkard withM;rs.

We shall endeavor to se-c ure a different group of students in each issue, so that we may be sure of getting fresh ideas each ti-me, The question we have submitted to, the students at this time is one which has been used on a popular radio program, . bringing forh as much favor for as against it. "Should the go~ernment ;ubsidi•ze college education " The answers we oibtained follow: Kathryn Hiscox, sophomore: "You mean, should the government pay for our college education? Well, I think that if it pro_ · vided free education for everyone, it would just give some loafers a chance to idle away another four years. Yet I do think the deserving stu_d ents should be given a chance. · Maybe some plan co-u ld be worked out whereby it would pay part .o f theh· college expenses and make them work in return so that the money wouldn't be an outright gift. That question requir-e s thought before you can answer it." Phyllis Smith, freshman: "I think it would be a good thing if there were aptitude tests given. However, there might be danger in that the government might also contr-ol w:hat is taught and then we would have mechanized education, with the students learning only wlhat the government wanted them to know. There could be danger of having a dictato:aship in that respect." Bill Hannigan, sophomore: "I don't think there should be subsidized education. If that were started, college standards would lower and the tec'hnical advantages would tend to diffuse. Some students would not study at all, and college would be just four years of play. A coilege education isn't for everyone." Jean Donahue, so:phomore: "It isn't ba.sically ·p ractical. However, the government should help by granting to fathers educating children in college an allowance from their income tax. Higher education benefits the government in the end, anyway, by producing better citizens. I think that having the goverMnent pay entirely for college expenses is an Utopian idea, not ,p ractical. Maybe something like the English system of college education could be started here, though. If they can do it, we can, to-o ." M-arian Ganard, freshman: "Yes, I think everybody should be educated.

CHARLES REIF KATHRYN HISCOX The choice of Kathryn Hiscox as one of our most popular sophomores is one which meets with enthusiastic app1,oval on all sides. It is also timely, since Kathryn is at present the president of the Thespians, who wiill produce shortly the drama "Moorborn." Kathryn was one of the several members of the sophomore class who came to 'Bucknell from Hanover High School, where she was a member of the 'honor society. At Hanover, she was a Girl Reserve and an active supporter of the dramatic group. She has carried her dramatic interest over into her college life, for she had a leading role in each of the Th~pian productions of last year, "Chdle Song" and "Are You a Mason?" This year, as president of the Thespians, Kathryn has t'he difficult task of supervising all the activities which are carried on in the production of a play, yet she als·o finds ii:me tJ be an active member of the Glee Club and Beta Gamma Chi. When first Kathryn came to B. U. J. C., it was with the intention of majoring in journalism. Howeve-r ; time soon dissuaded her fro'm tihat aim, and she is at present imdecided as to her ambitio n in life. Her deep interest in dramatics might indicate a leaning toward that as a life's work, but further acquaintance with the gal reveals an uncanny ability to psy,cho-ana 1.yze people and a talent for sketching. She might be called "the girl with a sense of humor," for she alway,s has a witty retort for any r emarks, and one ·o f h er nicest attributes is her ability to enjoy jokes on herself. Kathryn likes to eat peanuts at movies (she prefers the kind of movies that make you cry), to meet n ew people, to drink chocolate milk floats, walk in the rain, talk hours 'n hours on t he telephone, work in overalls building sets for plays, ice sk.ate and jitterbug. She dislikes very few things, and whenever she finds s·omething distasteful, she has a mania for analyzing it to find out what i~ wrong. Her fav,orite costume is " something comfortable," her favorite candy, J. D. Williams' fudge; 'her favorite friend, a g·ood conversationalist ; her favorite pastime (when she has time), painting in water colors; her pet peeve, writing themes; and her favorite topic of conversation, her brother Harry. Kathryn lives in L e•e Park and, since space is limited, for further information, the phone number is 2-3931. Need we say more?

To the faint-hearte,d engine·e rs who occasionally wander up from their drafting-room lairs to witness the dissection of a cat in the z-oology laboratory, or to the unfort unate commerce and financ e students who never vent ure into •he haunts of the scientists, the zoology sudents perhaps seem just a bit queer.

Well, as you kno/W'1 a rain Sunday afternoon covered the r oads with ice. Monday morning knew no dawn. WJJ.en I arrived at the Square, the darkness of midnight still prevailed. In front of Pomeroy's store I found Ruth Y-oung and J o hn Holbrook huddled dejectedly in a corner. They were the only two students who were foo lish enough to admit the possibility Jf a field tri,p -on such an unpromising morning. I explained to duth that she did not have to go, ,;hough John and I had t'he habit from last winter's work on the lake.

Now in my pack were supplies for twenty-five people,.

Ruth, being versatile and ambidextrous, put them on anyway, and then spent the rest of the day n:aking baffling tracks in the patcl.es of snow along our route. We visited a beaver dam enroute to Fair-Lea, but fo und the beavers sound asleep, or at least t'hey were doing absolutely nothing about the torrent of water which, thanks to the rains of the previous night, was threatening to inundate their dam and lodge.

She was a member of the Y. W. C.

She is a member of the American Nurses' Association, the National League of Nursing Education, and the American Red Cross. Nursing, Mrs. Lowery believes, is war work with a future. The· first women · to go overseas with the armed forces were the Army and Navy nurses. Even be.fore she graduates, the student nurse is now recognized as being in. a service as essential as that undertaken by the WACS, the WA YES, and SPARS and the Marines. Student nurses release graduate nurses for service overseas, or tn military or naval hospitals · at home·. As a post-war profession, nursing offers opportunities which have been greatly expanded by the war. Nurses will be called upon to take p,a rt in post-war reconstruction programs abroad and at home. There is no-w, and there is every evidence that there will contin ue to be after the war, a great need for nurses-not only in hospitals and othe.r institutions, but al so in public heailth nursiing, as teachers in schools of :nursing, in government work with the U.

In that ' way, if enough scholarships were given, everyone could be educated who deserved an education." Helen Bitler, sophomore: "I think it would be a good idea provided an aptitude test was given to the students and only the capable were given the o·p portunity of going on. If this w,ere done, college training would have to be general, and specialization in specific lines would come later."

We have not selected our participants in · t'his poll in advance, but rather have questioned our, student body' at random to get a variety of an swers not ,prepared beforehand.

The author, Totheroh, has been very able in bringing the people of his drama to life and making the audience feel and be moved by their dreams and the pathos in their daily life. "Moor Born" was expertly directed by Miss Norma Sangiuliano, under :whose direction the cast, composed of both freshmen and sophomores, gave an excellent performance. Mary Kenney played the part of Charlotte, the eldest sister, who assumes the care of the family. Florence ~ackiewicz was Emily, the moody, silent sister, while Carol Ruth portrayed the gentle Anne. William Hannigan had the difficult role of Branwell, while John Dzwileski was his faththe Rev. Patrick Bronte. Helen Bitler was Martha, the maid of the Bron~es, and Sophie Glowacki enacted the part of Tabby, the. feeble old family servant. Robert Lehet portrayed the part of Christopher, a neighboring farmhand. Playing to a capacity audience both evenings, the Thespian production can rightly be called a success. The cast portrayed difficu[t roles exceedingly well, and much credit can be given to them and their director who worked tirelessly.

Girls Works Of Shakespeare Hold Tea Bucknell University Junior College women held ' an informal tea in Chase Hall on Friday afternoon, January 21. At the tea, data which the girls had collected concerning the graduates of the college was organized, and was given to Miss Sanguiliano. The girls especially tried to obtain the correct addresses of all those former students now in service. The inf ormatio-n is to be used in the forming of an alumni association. Many interesting telephone experiences were related by the girls. One had the pleasure of ta4king to a former student who had just arrived home after an absence of eight years. In charge of the tea were Miss Mary Jane Varker and Miss Marie Christian, assisted by Jean Franklin, Betty Marlino, Evelyn Feinstein, and Eva Yaremko. A set of Shakespeare documents· and records in two volume-s were recently purchased by the college library. The books are large and handsomely bound in tan cloth. They were written by B. Roland Lewis, professor of English at the University of Utah. The Shakespeare documents were published in 194(1 by Stanford University. The books 'have fine illustrations and should prove a valuable addition both to the library and the Shakespeare course to be offered next semester. --------- About this time one begins to worry about semester ex11ms, theme papers, and sociology lab exercises. Perhaps it would be wise to remember George Washingto·n and the cherry tree. Or don't the Bucknell students have any temptations to peek during exams? On Saturday evening, January 15, BuckneH Junior College's annual affair, "Bucknell Nite," was held at the Y. M. C. A. This year "Bticlmell Nite" consisted of a basketball game between the Navy • V-12 of Bucknell ·university at Lewisburg and the boys of Bucknell Junior College, a swimming meet by the girls of the college, and a dance, which was held in Chase Haili. Journeying from the "big campus," former Bucknell Junior Colleg_e students now in the V-12 program opposed our basketball team in a spirited, hard-fought game. Playing with only five men, Semmers, Wartella, Spiecher Jones and Capari, the Navy, n'everthe~ less, were highly favored to trounce our Junior College quintet. The early part of the contest found the zone defense of our satin-clad boys hard to penetrate.

At this point, the assembly was turned over to Arthur Williams Student Council chairman of th~ Fourth War Loan Drive, who urged a frank discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of contributi<o,ns. As the discussion proceeded, many interesting points were brought out. They ranged from the idea of a bond donation to the Bucknell Endowment Fund to one sophomore's suggestion that in t'he event of a bond purchase, the purchasers should not forget to collect the free movie ticke.t. The following motions were presented and •p assed, the first with little dissent, the other two unanimously: 1. That the students raise money through contributions to a $100 bond for the Bucknell Endowment Fund as their part in the Fourth War Loan Drive. Dr. Farley promised to match this with one of $50. 2. That W,;i.r Bonds s'hould be sold in the office to anyone desiring them. The foregoing motions are closely associated with the quota that is to be assigned to the college. Dr. Farley made announcement of the assembly speakers scheduled to speak to a joint assembly in the next two weeks. On February 2, Paul Harris will speak on South America, and on February 8 a correspondent will talk on the Far East. The meeting was then adjourned.

These little people were destined to become famous as the, Gremlins. This is the story of Casper, one of the Gremlins. Casper first began to make a name for himself among the English fliers who traveled the N orth Sea. But after awhile Casper g-ot tired of having his hands cold from hanging on the tail of . d of getthe p Iane, an d a Iso t ire trng greasy when he tinkered with h • t e 011 lines. So Casper decided to migrate to America, the land of hot dogs and Hedy Lamarr. Casper arrived in this country in an Army bomber. He landed at an airport somewhere along the coast, and deciding to see more of the country, he hopped into another plane an.d landed, of all places, at Smith's Flying School at the Wyoming Valley Airport. There Casper heard about the Draft Board. "Now what·on earth is a draft board?" he sald to himself, never having heard of that old American institution. So he f n d · h o owe ng t a 1ong a nd la nd ed in the Draft Board office. There he managed to mess up a lot of papers in a friendly way, so that a soldier in a foxhole in the South Pacific received this one morning: "If you don't report to your board in three days, you will be classifled for having tried to dodge the Gasp·e r disappeared and everything was all right again. His next appearance rwes the cafeteria. There he made three pieces of pie disappear right from under Mrs. Brennen's nose. Then .he hopped over to the sink and waved his hands. Eva Yaremko and Ruth Birk, horrified, saw the dishes become three times as many. Next, Casper. mixed the soups and dipped the hot dogs in chili con carne. Then he flitted into Mr. F•a int's offic-e and mixed up all the schedules ,and marks for the -whole semester. Oaisper danced across the lawn and into a cadet class of Dr. Nichols,o n's, where he said some magic w:ords so that Dr. Nicholson began to talk in Greek, and the cadets fell asleep with their eyes open. He heard two girls talking about Conyngham Hall, so he foHowed them up River Street, w'here he wandered into the chemistry lab. He made some experiments go up in smoke, and ,then flitrted into an alge'bra claiss, where -h e twisted the figures on the board around. Then up to the third floor to the biology lab. Casper made ,t he skeleton walk out of the closet and chase Dr. Reif around with a broom. Teachers and students gathered together in consternation at the havoc wrought and decided that something must be done; Casper could not be allowed to go on sabotaging as he was. So Messrs. Robert Barnum and Gifford CappeUini wer-e summoned from their paint ing to hold a Student Council meeting. "Soonet'hing mua't be done!" e~claimed Barnum, pounding the table. Cappellini suggested calling Superman in, but then he remembered that even he w:as draft." Tsk, tsk.

No. 14. Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Tuesday, February 29, 1944 '' I Student· Poll Although the Student Poll is to be conducted mainly on topics concerned with current events, it ~as felt that a survey should be made concerning student activities. Thus, the question for this time is "What improvements would you suggest in the Student Activity Program?" There being more girls around when this survey was made and boys naturally being the shyer sex, that accounts for more replies listed from girls than from the boys of this school. The people questioned differed on their views. Johanna Y endrick, freshman: "I think that if the Student Activity program were to be improved, we should have more sports for girls, such as a basketball team." Vivian Kamen, fre5',man: "There should be more sports as part of the Activity program. I'd like to see the girls play volleyball and basketball and form teams." Clarice Pearson, sophomore: "I'd like to see more sports for the girls too. I think we should try to organize a bowling club, for instance. I think that it would be nice." Walter Celmer, sophomore, and Gloria Boguszewski, freshman, were among those students who felt that the Student Activity p~ogram was already wellrounded and satisfactory,. and needed no further expansion. When hunted down in the library, John . Dzwileski, sophomore, confessed: "I think that we should have some more sports dances and other social affairs. The act1v1t1es of the school should try to envelop more people and they should be things in which everyone can participate. I suggest more get-togethers like Dr. Reif's party." Ruth Douglas, freshman, said: "I think that we should have more sports for the girls, different kinds of games like basketball. But I also think that we should have more parties like the one that Dr. and Mrs. Farley gave or another one like the Beacon party." (The plug for the paper is appreciated, Miss Douglas. We think that we give nice parties too) . Rita Wertheimer, sophomore: "I feel that we should have more activities for the girls in the line of sports. Personally, I would like to see a Riding Club and a Tennis Club established here at school." (Continued on Page 4) LATEST CROP OF FROSH TO ENTER INTO BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY JUNIOR COLLEGE Bucknell University Junior College has taken its fourth class of college freshmen under the accelerated program since it was ntroduced last winter. This semester's new freshmen registered on February 15, 1944. Under this program high school students are permitted to complete their college educationin approximately two and one-half years. Every effort is being taken by the faculty and student body to help the new students adjust themselves. It is difficult to s,tep from the middle of a senior year in high school to the first semester of college. The students who entered in this manner last January can understand perhaps more clearly than the rest of us, for they faced the same problem. On Tuesday, February 15th, an orientation problem was held to help explain the purpose of college to the new students. In the morning at 9, Dr. Farley spoke to the freshmen in Chase Theatre; at 12:30, Dr. Craig and Dr. Reif gave them an explanation on the use of the library, and at 2:30 the Student Council held a reception in their honor. A WEEK IN WILKES-BARREAS CADET Monday morning dawns bright and early with the sound of the charge of quarters shouting, "Everybody up!" We all grumble and get out of bed feeling terrible. Most of the boys are still a bit under the weather from a lack of sleep or possibly from a bit too much week-end. After a quick shave we all fall out for a roll call shivering but enjoying it just the same. After roll call we rush to the mess hall for breakfast which is usually a very hearty meal because we need plenty of nutrition to sustain us for this day's classes and physical training ahead of us. Our classes consist mainly of mathematics and physics with some navigation and history thrown in to assist us when we reach our next base. After about seven hours of classes we return to the hotel, make a quick change of clothing and double time over the bridge for physical training. About an hour later we run back to the hotel, take a quick shower and get dressed for re,treat and military drill. When we return to the hotel about 1800 (Ed. Note: Anyone understanding this bit of Army lingo, please enlighten us.), we have our evening meal. Then comes the time the cadet looks forward to all day long-release from quarters. During release from quarters or closed post we all go down to the soda fountain in the hotel lobby and discuss the day's adventures, current events, and, ahem, other things. Some of the cadets who are married men spend their free hour with their wives who are living at the hotel. During this time, needless to say, telephone booths are JAMMED After release from quarters we return to our rooms and prepare for the next day's work which. is very much the same routine, continuing until Saturday. Saturday morning everyone gets up feeling very gay because in a few hours Open Post will be declared and we can all go out and relax for a day and a half without a worry in the world. Social life in Wilkes-Barre is very pleasant to say the least. Each cadet can find something to do that he enjoys most. Some of the fellows have dates-Lucky dogs-while the rest of us drop off at a show. The cadet in Wilkes-Barre has a wonderful life-he lives in a hotel, eats the bes,t of food, and is treated "swell." Editorial Comment: We have asked one of the members of the Air Crew to write a column for us, because we feel that every member of the college is interested in the way they spend a typical day. We especially confess our ignorance of what goes on in a cadet's life, having always limited it to traveling from the hotel to Conyngham, Kirby, or Chase, attending classes, and singing like mad every Tuesday and Thursday A. M. about eight o'clock while we are diligently trying to study la espanol in Chase 204. Our powers of concentration become greatly limited when the gentle breezes waft a mighty roar of "As We Go Marching Home" or words to that effect through the windows. Unfortunately we do not know the 11ame or names of the cadets who composed the I Gailmor Speaks To Assembly February 8th, at the Admiral Stark room of Hotel Sterling, William S. Gailmor, columnist and commentator, spoke to the combined audience of the Air Crew students and the Junior College students. In his talk which was most interesting and enlightening, Mr. Gailmor told the students that the United States was slow on many matters, and that most of our pqlicy making was improvised. He held the interest of the audience as he spoke of the present war and attributed our allied gains on the battlefronts to the fact that the military leaders of our countries recognize the the fact that history does not repeat itself, and that military prowess can not be gained from textbooks. He added that we have not kept pace on the political front with our rapid progress in military affairs. We are ignoring the masses and talking l~rgeiy to "heads", heads like Badoglio in Italy. We are more concerned with saving the careers of the unrepresentative leaders of the countries of Europe than with providing for the little people of the world and securing for them their futures. "No, it is not history that repeats itself-it is those who are responsible for history who tend to repeat the errors of past history. But the victims of those errors are aware of the threat. From the caves and cellars of the underground, from the gallows and firing-lines, the peoples of Europe are telling us, repeatedly, that they aren't going to starve and bleed and die as hostages and in concentration camps in order that Fascism, by some other name rule them again. From under the crushing heel of the Fascist oppressors, the peoples of Europe are voting. They'd like to elect us as their guides to total freedom, if we but offered them a clear-cut honest program of democracy, and if we but showed that we mean it." ----v·---A REMINDER- BUY MORE BONDS AND STAMPS. above, or we would gladly have given them public acknowledgement.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF Someone once made the sage remark that these are changing times and that the person who could adapt himself quickly to new situations was the one who would succeed. We feel that this is a very apt bit of advice and we pass it on to you. We have just begun a new semester and are finding that ·these are changing times indeed. We have to welcome new students and teachers this semester as well as say good-by to those who are leaving. All of us need to remember that these are not normal times nor is this a sane and normal world in which we live. However it is not necessary to bewail our fate. We should realize that in a way we are very fortunate. We are standing on the threshold of a new era in a sense. We are the generation whose job and pri~ilege it will be to have a hand in the building of a post-war world, a world which ought to be bright and new and offering peace and justice to all. However only those who are ready and prepared will be able te succeed in achieving these high aims of the future. There is a stirring challenge that faces today's youth. So at the beginning of this semester, let us all resolve to make a fresh start. Undoubtedly we have all made mistakes in the past, and certainly we shall make more in the future, but let us not make the same ones. If only we will all resolve to do our best, and try to be sincere in what we do, what a lot we can accomplish. We repeat, there is a challenge facing the generation of today. Will you be ready to accept it? We hope so. ' The new semester is as fresh and clean as the blank pages in a new notebook. Let's see to it that it is filled with good times and work well done.

We pass this advice on to you. According to Dr. Nicholson, the movies are a collection of the best foreign films and are shown Sunday afternoons at 1 and 3 o'clock. A list of the films to be shown can be obtained from him. The story that attracted millions of readers in the Saturday Evening Post as one of the best war stories of its kind, "Happy Land", by MacKinlay Kantor, is now a movie. Starring Don Ameche and Frances Dee, it is the story of a small town druggist who learns that his son has been killed in action and of his eventual -acceptance of this through a visit from his grandfather, who returns from beyond the grave. The story has an unusual twist or two (here's hoping Hollywood didn't mess it up) and should be good entertainment. Coming in the near future is "A Guy Named Joe", with Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne, a love story with an aviation background. This is the film that has been much discussed by its makers, who finally decided to change its ending for fear that stricken war widows might follow the solution offered to their priblems. The title comes from a legend concerning General Chennault, who is supposed to have said when he clime'l into the cockpit of a plane, "When I'm at the stick, I'm just a guy named Joe." The tale of two famous scientists is brought to the screen by Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in "Madame Curie". The story of the frail scientist, who, through hardships and sorrow, including the death of her husband, saw her goal and worked to achieve it, was magnificiently told by her daughter, Eve Curie. Now the account of Madame Curie's work and discovery comes to the sceen. If the cast and material are any indication of the film, it should rank among the all-time best ones. Well, now that we have unrolled the reels a little way, this reviewer will say so long for a while. ----V'---- Council News The last meeting of the Student Council was held on February 11, 1944, to make plans for the freshman reception 011 the 15,th. Ruth Punshon was put in charge of the affair, assisted by the women members of the Council. A report was given on the progress of the Bond drive. A motion was made and passed to keep the drive open until all members of the student body are given an opportunity to contribute. February 23rd, 24th, and 25th are the dates voted on for the initiation of new freshmen. It was agreed that rules for initiation would be drawn up at a later me-e ting. After discussion on this subject, •t he meeting was adjourned. BUCKNELL BEACON Student Activities For the benefit of the new freshmen, or should we say subfreshmen, an explanation of the social activities of the college is repeated through this column for those who have not clearly understood it heretofore. There are five outstanding organizations in the college: Thespians, Glee Club, Beta Gamma Chi, the Engineers' organization, and the Beacon. Thespians is the dramatic society which is under the direction of Miss Sangiuliano. Twice yearly they present a three-act play. At present, the production in rehearsal is "Brief Music". Glee Club is a female organization for three-part vocal singing. Lt meets twice monthly with Professor Gies as conductor. Beta Gamma Chi, the girls' sorority, is a society to which all college women automatically belong. Each Monday at 4 P. M. meetings are held in the Girls' Lounge. The Engineers have a club in which members are restricted to the men of the college in that curriculum . Dr. May is advisor to the club. The college newspaper, the Beacon, appears once monthly. It is produced by a student staff under the direction of Dr. Nicholson and Dr. Farley. Meetings are held on the first and third Fridays of every month at 3:30. New members on the staff are always welcome. The Student Council is composed of elected members from each class and representatives of each activity. This body votes on all matters pertaming to the students as a whole, holds social functions such as dances, and in general, represents the student body on all occasions. ----V•---- Reif Holds Party Dr. Charles Reif held a party for the students of the college on the evening of February 15th in -the reception room. Everything started with a bang when he began the game of "Ghosts". The ice was broken when Al LaVie and John Dzwileski began competing for the honor of being the Ghost. We are happy to report that John succeeded in proving that he was the better man for the job. Unfortunately he did not share the opinion, offering the complaint that he was "ganged up on". After the excitement died down, pencils and paper were distributed for the word game, "Guggenheim". If the results o[ this were to be used as a measure of our intelligence, well, Ahem! At any rate, the genius of our group proved to be none other than Walter Celmer. What a beating for the B. A.'s. Next on the program was Dr. R.eif's rendition of the "Ransom of Red Chief". Everybody parked on the floor around the fire, and alternated between listening with impressive silence and raising the roof with uproarious laughter. While we gorged ourselves on popcorn and root beer, he then read his own creation, "The Bucknell Beacon".

At this reception, the new s-tudents were given an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other, with members of the faculty, and with the Student Council itself. In charge of the committee for the affair was Ruth Punshon. She w;s assiMed by Sophie Glowacki, Mary Kenney, Kathryn Hiscox, and Marcella Novak.

Comments On The Starling Census By DR. CHARLES REIF Those persons who passed the First Methodist Church one day last month were amused by the ' members of the Zoology class who were counting the number of starlings leaving the church tower. This question was asked by a man: "Why do you want to know how many starlings roost in the tower?" The answer is simply this: those of us who are watching the starlings are adding a small bit of information to the general knowledge concerning starlings. As we slowly accumulate data about the starling we are contributing to man's knowledge of his fellow inhabitant of this crowded world and how those inhabitants effect man's welfare. For centuries men of many countries each spring watched with craning necks the long lines of geese flying northward. The same people listened on fall evenings to the honking of the geese as they flew to the south. Until a few centuries ago people thought that geese came into being from the barnacles of the sea. More curious people proved that the birds were going north to nest during the summer and that they returned to the southland in the winter. The nesting site of the great flocks of blue geese was found only twenty years ago. The story of bird migration contains facts more wonderful than any fairy tale. Mysteries which can be solved only by the painstaking methods we are using 011 our starling census intrigue the minds of curious people. Many are those who have made their contributions toward answering the riddle of bird migrations. But a multitude of questions remains to be answered. How do young birds know where to go? How do they return to the same places the following spring? What clock tells them that the time has come for them to start on their long journeys? What compass guides the millions of nocturnal migrants who travel at night? Gold'.en/ plovers accotrlplish what seems impossible. The yom1g plovers are fledged on the treeless prairies of Canada. The birds of the year, making their first journey to the wintering grounds in South America, take one route; the adult birds which have made the trip before choose a course entirely different from that taken by the youngsters. The young birds fly down the Mississippi Valley (known as the Mississippi flyway since it is used by many species of birds), cross to Yucatan, and travel through Central America. They find theil' way over land no one of them has seen before. But the trip made by the ·adult plovers is more amazing. The old birds congregate in New Foundland and wait for favorable weather. Then they fly from New Found(Conti11ued on Page 4) 18. "Where or When?" "Don't know where I'm going to get it done or when. 19. "What Does He Look Like?"-Frank S. to Mrs. S. 20.
